    Chapter 64: Chapter 62 Provisionally Listed as A-level


    Click¡ªthe hatch opened fully, its automatic locking mechanism engaging to prevent it from closing abruptly.


    Then, a staircase slowly descended from the hatch, landing steadily on the playground.


    A middle-aged man dressed in a black Martial Path uniform, along with a young man in a suit, appeared at the hatch, following the steps down.


    ¡°You must be Professor Ming, what a pleasure to meet you,¡± the vice-chancellor said, extending his hand.


    The man in the Martial Path uniform offered a polite smile: ¡°Hello.¡±


    Afterward, the middle-aged man¡¯s gaze shifted to Xu Bo standing beside him: ¡°Xu Bo, long time no see.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Senior Ming,¡± Xu Bo said with a hint of respect, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to come.¡±


    Xu Bo was well aware of the middle-aged man¡¯s prowess. Though he appeared to be under forty, he was actually in his eighties¡ªa powerful Prime Warrior.


    He was a very famous professor at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, with students all over the province and a high reputation within it.


    Xu Bo had met him once before.


    Martial Artists have exceptionally strong memories; once they meet someone, they rarely forget.


    ¡°Ha-ha, why couldn¡¯t I come?¡± Senior Ming asked with a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t come just to see you, but to take a look at the future young talents of Jiangbei Province.¡±


    The two conversed as though good friends.


    ¡°These must be the youngsters your school selected this year,¡± Senior Ming¡¯s gaze fell on Li Yuan and others, his eyes flashing briefly.


    Boom! Boom!


    As his gaze swept over them, Li Yuan instantly felt an overpowering pressure hit him, causing his heart to skip a beat.


    It was like a normal person walking in the wild suddenly discovering a white-foreheaded tiger crouched three meters away, staring intently at them.


    It was terrifying!


    Fortunately, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had already reached level 15, and day and night within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, his will had been tempered by the scorching sun to be incredibly resilient.


    He did not show any discomfort!


    In contrast, among the other nine students, aside from Lin Lanyue and Gu Qianghan, everyone else instinctively stepped back two paces.


    Even two of the students let out an involuntary cry before realizing there was nothing to fear, and hung their heads in shame.


    ¡°Psychic pressure, huh?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    When he had read ¡°Basics of Martial Path,¡± the book mentioned that beings with strong blood energy, powerful spiritual power, and astonishing will would naturally form a biological magnetic field around them, exerting pressure on weaker life forms nearby.


    This was commonly referred to as ¡®presence.¡¯


    ¡°Not bad, all of you are fine seedlings,¡± Senior Ming said, his aura returning to normal with a smile.


    ¡°You flatter them, Senior Ming,¡± the vice-chancellor responded politely.


    Whoosh!


    Senior Ming took a step and, like a phantom, moved over ten meters to stand before Lin Lanyue.


    Immediately, everyone¡¯s attention shifted to them.


    ¡°Senior Ming,¡± Lin Lanyue said with considerable respect.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue?¡± Senior Ming¡¯s voice became gentle: ¡°It seems the Lin Family is about to produce another outstanding heroine.¡±


    ¡°You know me, Senior?¡± Lin Lanyue sounded a bit surprised.


    ¡°I do,¡± Senior Ming said with a smile: ¡°Years ago, I collaborated with your father. I have great respect for him.¡±


    The surrounding crowd was shocked, staring at Lin Lanyue, as they realized her father must be quite remarkable.


    ¡°Senior Ming is this friendly with her?¡± The vice-chancellor and the grade advisor were both surprised


    Indeed, they did not know the true lineage of Lin Lanyue.


    The ¡®family information¡¯ Lin Lanyue shared with others was optimized.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Ming,¡± Lin Lanyue said, neither humbly nor arrogantly.


    ¡°Work hard,¡± Senior Ming said with a smile.


    Then, he turned his attention to Li Yuan standing nearby: ¡°Young student, what is your name?¡±


    Li Yuan replied with great respect: ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Senior Ming chuckled: ¡°I¡¯ll remember that. Li Yuan, if you don¡¯t choose one of the top five universities for your college entrance exam, Jiangbei Martial University¡¯s ¡®Warrior Class¡¯ will always welcome you. I¡¯ll keep a special training contract reserved for you.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Everyone around was taken aback.


    ¡°Li Yuan is that strong?¡± Gu Qianghan looked curiously at Li Yuan.


    The other students were equally shocked.


    The quota for Jiangbei Martial Arts University¡¯s Warrior Class? Most of the students present didn¡¯t care.


    After all, as top ten in their grade, they were aiming for the top five universities.


    But to have a special training contract reserved especially for him?


    It meant that Senior Ming had high hopes for Li Yuan, recognizing his immense potential, far surpassing the other students present.


    ¡°Li Yuan scored lower than us in the January mock exams.¡±


    ¡°He is favored over us?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan¡¯s strength surpasses ours by far?¡± A few students exchanged glances, confused but not daring to express it.


    ¡°A special training contract reserved for me?¡± Li Yuan was also bewildered.


    Senior Ming saw so much in him?


    Could it be that, like Hall Master Wan, he had sensed something special in his spiritual power?


    ¡°Li Yuan, aren¡¯t you going to thank Senior Ming?¡± Xu Bo urged in a low voice.


    ¡°Thank you for your generosity, Senior,¡± Li Yuan promptly replied with respect.


    ¡°Ha-ha, no need to be so formal,¡± Senior Ming laughed and then addressed all the students: ¡°I know you all are aiming for the top five universities, but consider Jiangbei Martial University as a fallback.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, this event is being observed by representatives from the top five universities.¡±


    ¡°I hope that everyone will make the most out of these five days.¡±


    ¡°Alright, board the flyer.¡±


    ¡­


    They watched the flyer take off.


    ¡°Teacher Xu,¡± the vice-chancellor couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Do you know who Lin Lanyue¡¯s father is?¡±


    ¡°Not sure,¡± Xu Bo shook his head.


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡± the grade advisor inquired with curiosity: ¡°Based on grades, even without the extras, isn¡¯t Li Yuan behind Lin Lanyue? Why does Senior Ming favor him alone?¡±


    ¡°I guess he wants to take Li Yuan as his godson,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile.


    ¡°`


    Grade Director: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the aircraft, apart from senior Teacher Xu and a few other teachers from Jiangbei Martial Arts University, there were already more than ten students sitting.


    Looking at the school badges, they all came from other schools in Guan Mountain District.


    ¡°Looks like they¡¯re from First High School.¡±


    ¡°They have so many people, and our school only got two slots.¡±


    ¡°Stop complaining. The tenth place from their school is probably stronger than our first place.¡±


    Students from other schools whispered among themselves.


    ¡°Take your seats in order of your number and fasten your seat belts,¡± instructed the young man in a suit.


    Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan, and Gu Qianghan sat in two rows facing each other according to their grades.


    Li Yuan, who ranked sixth overall in his grade, happened to sit opposite Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°Thanks for yesterday,¡± Li Yuan said to Lin Lanyue in a low voice.


    ¡°It was nothing,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded.


    Curiosity got the better of Gu Qianghan: ¡°Sis, what happened with you and Li Yuan yesterday?¡±


    ¡°Sit down and shut up,¡± Lin Lanyue replied coldly.


    Gu Qianghan dared not ask any further.


    ¡°Li Yuan, have you awakened your Martial Spirit?¡± asked the short-haired, bulky young man sitting in the middle, looking at Li Yuan with curiosity and an underlying competitive spirit.


    The other classmates also looked at Li Yuan curiously.


    They all remembered the scene from earlier; Teacher Xu¡¯s attitude towards Li Yuan was distinctly different.


    ¡°No,¡± shook Li Yuan¡¯s head.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t awakened?¡± The short-haired, bulky young man was confused: ¡°But what about Teacher Xu earlier?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    The short-haired, bulky young man frowned and was about to continue questioning.


    ¡°Dong Haifeng,¡± Lin Lanyue suddenly said coldly, ¡°Hasn¡¯t anyone taught you? Don¡¯t pry into others¡¯ privacy.¡±


    ¡°Lanyue, you?¡± Dong Haifeng¡¯s expression slightly changed.


    ¡°Lanyue is what you call her?¡± Gu Qianghan, sitting beside her, was unhappy: ¡°Call her by her full name.¡±


    Dong Haifeng was taken aback. He turned to look at Lin Lanyue, who was sitting by the window and had closed her eyes, clearly unwilling to deal with him.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Dong Haifeng muttered.


    Immediately, Dong Haifeng¡¯s gaze swept over Li Yuan, and a subtle hint of disgust flashed through his eyes.


    But he said no more.


    When you dislike someone, there¡¯s no need for words.


    ¡°Dong Haifeng?¡± Li Yuan, with his strong spiritual power, sensed the change in the latter¡¯s emotions.


    Dong Haifeng, who often ranked in the top three of his grade in Martial Arts, was not much different from Gu Qianghan.


    Li Yuan did not know why the other held a dislike towards him, but he did not care.


    ¡°I¡¯m not Blue Star Coins; how can everyone like me?¡± Li Yuan shook his head lightly: ¡°Even if I were Blue Star Coins, some still call them ¡®the root of all evil¡¯.¡±

    At the core area of Jiangbei Martial Arts University was a massive steel War Fortress, towering over three hundred meters high and brimming with a sense of technology.


    From a distance, it looked like a sci-fi city made of steel.


    Inside the steel city, in a small conference room, more than ten men and women dressed in uniform sat in a circle.


    The badges on their chests bore the uniform emblem of an imposing mountain.


    ¡°The students invited to the event will arrive at the school this afternoon.¡±


    ¡°These eighty-eight students are the primary targets of our recruitment mission, and we aim to persuade them to apply to Kunlun Martial Arts University,¡± declared the bald, burly middle-aged man at the head of the table, his voice sonorous: ¡°You¡¯ve all quickly reviewed the information, and the corresponding targets have been allocated to you.¡±


    ¡°S-grade targets, three.¡±


    ¡°A-grade targets, thirteen.¡±


    ¡°B-grade targets, seventy-two.¡±


    ¡°Prepare detailed scouting reports. Immediately interview and sign contracts with those confirmed to meet B-grade standards. Understood?¡± the bald man asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°Understood,¡± the group responded in unison.


    ¡°Any additions?¡± the bald man asked.


    ¡°President Li,¡± a soothing voice suddenly spoke up: ¡°I would like to add another candidate for scouting.¡±


    Swish! Swish! Everyone turned to look all at once.


    ¡°Professor Fan?¡± the bald man turned to look.


    The speaker was an unassuming elderly man in his sixties, known as Professor Fan Jin from Kunlun Martial Arts University¡¯s ¡®Eight Institutes¡¯.


    ¡°Who?¡± inquired the bald man.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Professor Fan Jin answered.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The bald man pondered: ¡°Student Li Yuan from the First High School of Guan Mountain District?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± nodded Professor Fan Jin.


    ¡°His Martial Arts Skills are not bad, fitting the A-grade standard, but his other aspects are average, which overall do not meet the B-grade standard,¡± the bald man directly shook his head.


    He had memorized the information of thousands of students participating in the recruitment event.


    ¡°The material is incomplete,¡± Professor Fan Jin stated: ¡°I¡¯ll add two points.¡±


    ¡°First, his skills are top-notch, having entered the top one thousand of the Blue Star youth rankings. In terms of skills, he meets the baseline of the S-grade standard.¡±


    ¡°Second, he has an extremely strong talent for spiritual power, comparable to a 15th-level Martial Artist,¡± Professor Fan Jin said.


    Surprise showed on the faces of the seated teachers.


    ¡°Is this information reliable?¡± the bald man¡¯s eyes brightened as he pressed for confirmation.


    ¡°Reliable. As of last October, he has already signed a B-grade contract with Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Professor Fan Jin assured.


    ¡°Good, temporarily listed as A-grade, a key target for scouting,¡± the bald man decided, looking at Professor Fan Jin: ¡°Professor Fan, you will take charge.¡±


    ¡°In five days, I want to see a detailed scouting report on him.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s true!¡±


    ¡°The senior brother¡¯s personal score has reached 242 points.¡±


    ¡°I told you, the senior brother will never let us down, he is the strongest freshman of our batch,¡± a classmate couldn¡¯t help but say excitedly, pumping his fist.


    ¡°257 points now.¡±


    ¡°In just these few seconds, it rose by so much?¡± Gu Qianghan and An Nong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.


    It wasn¡¯t just the freshmen from the Sixth Institute.


    ...


    At this moment, in a row of train compartments, freshmen from all eight institutes, and even some older students from Kunlun Martial University, had noticed Li Yuan¡¯s rapidly increasing score and ranking.


    The change in score was almost calculated by the ¡®second¡¯, enough to stun anyone.


    What did it represent?


    It represented that Li Yuan was encountering a large number of Star Realm creatures and was engaging in a frenzied slaughter!


    Too insane.


    ¡­


    The fourth combat assessment base.


    A small basin surrounded by hills, with wooden huts built into the jungle on a hillside.


    A Rock Desert Tribe village that once teemed with vitality.


    At this moment, it was already a chaotic river of blood.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Whoo!¡± ¡°Whoo!¡± The densely packed Rock Desert Tribe warriors, with skin like rock, were howling as they frantically waved their primitive wooden and stone weapons in hand.


    Due to their racial traits, they were all incredibly tall.


    The slimmest among them stood over two and a half meters tall,


    Dozens of warriors surged like a tide towards a ¡®slender and short¡¯ figure clad in black armor.


    He wielded a long spear, behind him more than ten bodies lay, blood splattering and staining the crimson tassel of the long spear, as if he had stepped out of hell.


    Due to the obstacles of trees, houses, and boulders, at most a dozen of the Rock Desert Tribe warriors could attack Li Yuan at any time.


    ¡°Boom~¡± ¡°Peng~¡± ¡°Peng~¡±


    Standing at a farther distance, some of the Rock Desert Tribe warriors were swinging their arms, hurling huge stones fiercely towards Li Yuan.


    Hundreds of pounds of boulders whistled down.


    Even with a transformed physique, Li Yuan dared not take them head-on.


    But, relying on his greatly enhanced physical quality after the transformation, combined with his movement technique, Li Yuan¡¯s figure flickered and easily avoided the barrage of boulder attacks.


    ¡°Peng~¡± The boulders struck the trees, gouging out large chunks, even causing the trees to topple and fall, while the ones hitting stones caused numerous fragments to scatter.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡±


    Li Yuan, advancing steadily, had a cold look in his eyes. His long spear danced in his hand like a dragon, instantly and easily parrying the attack of one warrior after another.


    Following the vibration of the spear¡¯s shaft, he counter-thrusted with the momentum, the spear tracing a half-circle, its tip swift as lightning.


    ¡°Stab! Stab! Stab!¡± Two of the Rock Desert Tribe warriors¡¯ necks were slit in an instant, blood spraying out as they collapsed with a thud.


    ¡°[You have killed¡­ with a Spiritual Awakening Level of 21.8%]¡±


    ¡°[You¡­ with a level of 21.9%]¡± Two notifications from the Divine Palace panel flashed consecutively.


    ¡°Killing one only raises it by 0.1%, and I¡¯ve killed less than twenty,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Through combat and Divine Palace inquiry, Li Yuan quickly deduced that most of these Rock Desert Tribe warriors were actually only around levels 12-13; those exceeding level 13 were in the minority.


    Just now, sneaking over from the depths of the forest, Li Yuan had intended to launch a surprise attack.


    ¡°`


    Alas, it was broad daylight, and the vigilance of the Rock Desert Tribe was extremely high, with not only visible sentinels but also hidden scouts.


    Li Yuan had only killed two before the entire tribe was alerted.


    Since the surprise attack failed, Li Yuan simply stopped pretending and launched a direct frontal assault.


    It quickly drew a large number of Rock Desert warriors rushing out from houses, caves, and wooden huts.


    At this moment, in close combat,


    warriors of the Rock Desert Tribe who had been throwing huge rocks from afar finally had to stop, fearing they would injure their own people.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± One warrior after another fell to the ground, most shot in the throat.


    Their skin was tough; if Li Yuan stabbed anywhere else, he wasn¡¯t confident of a kill with one strike.


    Only the throat was very vulnerable.


    In terms of strength, Li Yuan was actually weaker than many Rock Desert warriors.


    But his skill was much too superior, completely overpowering the majority of Rock Desert warriors who had not even reached the Second Stage.


    ¡°Die! Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were icy cold, without the slightest bit of mercy.


    First, the ones coming out of the Rock Desert Tribe were all warriors, hardly any old folks, women, or children could be seen.


    Second, in a race war where life and death were at stake,


    there was no room for Li Yuan to show mercy.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Pffft!¡± Li Yuan displayed his spear technique to its fullest, as one warrior after another fell.


    Previously, when facing creatures of the Star Realm above level 12.5, the gap in strength was too big, and Li Yuan did not dare to meet them head-on, relying only on his movement technique to fight.


    As a result, he often fought for a long time, inflicting minor wounds on the opponent before he could seize the opportunity to kill one.


    Now? His Life Level had reached 12.7.


    With Li Yuan being able to tap into even deeper layers of his body¡¯s strength, the power he could unleash was strong enough to rival a level 13 Rock Desert warrior.


    He dared to confront these Rock Desert warriors head-on!


    ¡°Woof!¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± As one warrior after another fell, the remaining numerous Rock Desert warriors howled at each other, communicating in their own simple language, their steps slowing down.


    The Rock Desert Tribe was indeed bloodthirsty and frenzied, but when faced with a battle with no hope of victory, they, too, began to fear.


    All living beings fear death, and fear is contagious.


    Over the past two days, there had been numerous ¡®alien race¡¯ attacks on their tribe, with nearly a hundred tribal warriors lost.


    Now came an even more terrifying ¡®alien race.¡¯


    At this time.


    ¡°Roar~¡± From the central and largest stone house of the tribe, finally, three figures emerged, each more burly than the last.


    The tallest one was probably nearly three and a half meters tall, truly deserving of the name ¡®rock giant.¡¯


    Clearly, these three were the chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe.


    ¡°13.8 level, 13.7 level, 14.1 level.¡± Li Yuan remotely conducted a Divine Palace inquiry, and immediately knew the strength of the three tribal chieftains.


    Two were close to level 14.


    The strongest had surpassed level 14, and given their intelligent-looking eyes, they were very formidable.


    ¡°Spiritual Awakening Level 23.2%.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace¡¯s panel: ¡°Keep killing.¡±


    The continuous slaughter also ignited the fervor in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    This kind of thrill, skirting the edge of life and death, where one mistake could mean severe injury or even death, was something that countless virtual duels and combat trainings could never replace.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    The 14.1 level Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s great chieftain, seeing the constant injury and death among the tribal warriors, could no longer hold back and erupted with an angry roar.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Die!!¡± The slightly stiff roar still made Li Yuan instantly understand the other party¡¯s intent.


    It understood a bit of human civilization¡¯s language.


    This roar echoed throughout the entire tribe, immediately heard by all warriors, invigorating their spirits without exception.


    Boom!


    The Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s chieftain, like a rolling boulder, had his speed soar to the extreme, bringing up a whirlwind as he charged at Li Yuan like lightning.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Hmm!¡± The many Rock Desert Tribe warriors hastily retreated to the sides, clearing a path.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes slightly narrowed, keeping watch on the opponent from the corner of his eye, his hand gripping the long spear as it swept out with terrifying power in a burst, the speed increasing by a great margin.


    Spear¡¯s point attack!


    ¡°Puchi~¡± ¡°Puchi~¡± In an instant, another three Rock Desert Tribe warriors fell to the ground.


    Seeing this, the originally spectating second and third chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe could no longer hold back and, with roars, joined the fray.


    ¡­


    In the fourth base, within the third-floor conference room of the War Fortress, dozens of teachers were staring in shock at the immense screen before them.


    It was showing Li Yuan¡¯s battle in the heart of the Rock Desert Tribe.


    ¡°Li Yuan, he?¡±


    ¡°President Li, is Li Yuan really a freshman? His physical quality has definitely surpassed level 12.5!¡±


    ¡°How did he train?¡±


    ¡°Alone, he dared to charge into the Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s territory? Qiu Jing tried before and managed to kill a dozen or so before he was chased off in a disarrayed flight.¡±


    ¡°Did he hide so much strength before?¡±


    ¡°His points have now exceeded 500, shooting up to 16th rank in the fourth base.¡± The teachers were discussing fervently, all quite astonished.


    ¡°Old Li, is Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality really that strong?¡± Dean Xu was equally surprised.


    It was one thing for other teachers not to monitor Li Yuan constantly, but she had been attentive throughout.


    Previously, Li Yuan had shown to possess roughly level 11.5 in terms of physical quality.


    After one night¡¯s sleep, it had nearly matched up to level 13.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve said before that he has exceptional talent, just watch.¡± President Li chuckled, ¡°Otherwise, why would I have arranged for him to be at the fourth base? I certainly had my reasons.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Dean Xu expressed skepticism; Li Yang¡¯s explanations seemed inconsistent. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Really.¡± Li Yang nodded, appearing very composed.


    In reality, Li Yang was more shocked than any teacher present; he was all too aware of Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡°One night.¡±


    ¡°A rise of about 1.5 levels in physical quality? How did Li Yuan do it?¡± Numerous thoughts flickered through Li Yang¡¯s mind: ¡°Heavenly Materials Treasures? Or perhaps some Forbidden Medicine?¡±


    He contemplated many possibilities.


    But chose not to reveal them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask him slowly when we get back to school,¡± Li Yang thought to himself, leaning towards the possibility that Li Yuan possessed some Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    The battle commenced.


    ¡°The three great chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe have attacked simultaneously.¡± Li Yang focused on the screen that had been enlarged.


    All the teachers watched intently.


    This battle was definitely the most pinnacle battle of the combat assessment at the fourth base to date.


    It¡¯s worth noting.


    At this moment, above the Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s territory, more than 20 silent combat drones hovered, ready to swoop down at any moment to slice through the Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s warriors and rescue Li Yuan.


    ¡°`


    ¡­In the Rock Desert Tribe.


    ¡°Die!¡± bellowed the great chieftain, resembling a rock giant, as he swung a metal combat saber, his body clad in tattered metal armor.


    Metal weapons and armor could tremendously increase the combat power of a Rock Desert Tribe warrior.


    Most importantly, the chieftain¡¯s wisdom was extraordinarily high, almost human-like. Prolonged battles had honed his formidable and impressive combat skills.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The chieftain¡¯s figure darted forward, attempting to close in on Li Yuan with a faster burst speed.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A terrifying slash of the saber whizzed by.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan, too, erupted in an instant, sidestepping the light of the saber. His long spear, like a starburst, streaked across the daylight, instantly producing a trail of spear-tip afterimages.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± The long spear danced, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens, tumultuous and overwhelming, each blow stronger than the last, each wave higher than the one before.


    It was the ¡®Galaxy Waterfall¡¯, the second technique of the Stellar Spear Technique, best known for group battles and consecutive strikes.


    Spear shadows burst forth, layer upon layer; droplets of fresh blood sprayed as the Rock Desert Tribe warriors, who tried to restrain Li Yuan, fell one after another.


    ¡°Clang!¡± Even the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain widened his eyes, desperately swinging his combat saber to block the assaults.


    Too fast.


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical strength was far inferior to his.


    However, with the Second Rank Secret Manual¡¯s killing move, the long spear¡¯s burst speed far exceeded his combat saber¡¯s. The spear, like lightning, nimble as waves, surging like a mighty river, was terrifying to the extreme, forcing the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain to block purely on instinct.


    In almost the blink of an eye.


    The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain had blocked nine of Li Yuan¡¯s thrusts and had been pushed back nine steps. His combat saber had become pockmarked under the relentless stabs of the long spear¡­ The gap in the quality of their weapons was enormous.


    ¡°Twelve Continuous Strikes!¡±


    After harnessing energy for twelve strikes, Li Yuan¡¯s spirit, energy, and mind all reached an unprecedented peak, his fighting spirit soaring to the skies.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The long spear flashed, unleashing a spear thrust with all of Li Yuan¡¯s vigor, erupting thunderously. There was no flashy technique, no variation, just a burst of speed pushed to the utmost extreme.


    The Stellar Spear Technique¡¯s third form¡ªDawn Piercing the Clouds!


    This was the combination of two devastating techniques, and also Li Yuan¡¯s strongest attack!


    ¡°Ooooh!!¡± The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain screamed in horror in his native tongue, instinctively trying to raise his combat saber to block.


    But after continuously blocking the long spear, his arms were already awash with soreness, precisely when he was at his weakest.


    ¡°Pfft~¡±


    A flash of silver, and the spear tip had already pierced through skin, deep into the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain¡¯s throat, and then it was violently withdrawn, blood spraying copiously.


    ¡°Clang~¡± The huge combat saber fell to the ground.


    ¡°Ah~~¡± The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain, nearly three and a half meters tall, instinctively covered his throat with his palm, helplessly opened his mouth, but not a sound came out as blood gushed from his mouth.


    After staggering backward a few steps.


    ¡°Boom~¡± the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain finally collapsed to the ground behind him, heavily crashing down, his massive body trembling and convulsing.


    Until his eyes dulled completely.


    The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain, surpassing level 14, dead!!


    ¡°You have killed a Star Realm creature over level 14, Points +200.¡±


    ¡°[You have slain an Entry Rank creature, obtaining Spiritual Nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 25%]¡±


    Li Yuan retracted his long spear, coldly fixing his gaze on the second and third chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe, who had just arrived nearby, their faces filled with terror.

    Seven Stars Calendar, September 2042, Xia Country, Jiangbei Province, Jiang City.


    A city known as the furnace, where most of the year is winter or summer, and early September is the hot season.


    Guan Mountain District''s Number One High School.


    In each classroom of the senior high building, similar banners hung behind the blackboard: "No fight, no survival in third year," "Struggle for one year, have no regrets for life," "No toughness in third year, how can you stand firm?"...


    And one classroom on the first floor to the east was exceptionally large, nearly a thousand square meters. Unlike ordinary classrooms, there were no desks or chairs; one side was lined with swords, spears, sabers, staffs, and many other cold weapons, while the other side was fitted with various special instruments, as well as a track paved with dark red metal.


    This is the Martial Arts classroom.


    At this moment, over a hundred students are practicing standing postures, each performing different movements.


    Some resemble monkeys, others are like flying birds, some appear tiger-like... their vitality and spirit are exceptionally strong.


    "It originates from the feet, activated through the legs, governed by the waist, uniting the force of the hundred skeletons into the fingertips..." a burly middle-aged man in a black Martial Path uniform walked among the students.


    His face was stern, nearly two meters tall, with a voice like a bell and eyes like a fierce tiger, scrutinizing every student.


    What drew the most attention was his right arm, which was actually a silver metallic limb that could move as naturally as a real arm, perfectly integrated with the severed limb.


    "In theory, these are the key points of the Basic Cultivation Method that you should''ve mastered in your second year, but what do I see?


    Your postures are still sloppy in the third year," the burly man scolded angrily as he walked, and a casual slap from his metal arm would knock a sweat-drenched student to the ground: "If the stance is stable, the center of gravity will be difficult to shift, and the Basic Cultivation Method is the foundation of Martial Path!"


    "One day''s practice for one day''s worth of skill, miss a day of practice and you''re a hundred days behind; I bet you all completely relaxed during the half-month summer vacation and didn''t practice at home."


    "You''re in third year and still thinking about relaxing? You''re ordinary class students without awakened Spiritual Nature; if you don''t work hard, how will you be admitted to Martial Arts University?"


    "Even if you''re not aiming for the Martial Arts University, taking the cultural route, martial arts scores still account for 30%..." the burly man kept berating.


    Yet the group of students didn''t dare to breathe heavily, practicing with even more dedication.


    "Report."


    "Report." A series of similar voices suddenly echoed at the classroom door as a group of students in Martial Path uniforms appeared at the entrance.


    "Group Two back from the Spiritual Aptitude Test?" the burly man glanced toward the doorway.


    Immediately, the burly man''s sharp gaze fell on one of the students.


    This student was nearly one meter eighty tall with a buzz cut. At first glance, he didn''t seem too extraordinary, but upon closer inspection, one could see he stood straight, with a spine that was almost perfectly aligned, exuding an unshakable presence with a casual stance.


    Clearly, this student had integrated the ''carry the head suspended from above, sink the tailbone'' principle of the Basic Cultivation Method into his everyday movements.


    He truly achieved the state where intention leads and spirit conveys.


    This level of understanding of the Martial Arts Realm surpassed all other students practicing postures in the classroom.


    "Li Yuan, how did it go?" the burly man looked at him.


    The nearly hundred students practicing posture couldn''t help but sneak glances at the student named Li Yuan.


    "Teacher Xu, I didn''t awaken," Li Yuan replied calmly, shaking his head without showing disappointment.


    The burly man frowned upon hearing this.


    Li Yuan was the most promising student in his class to awaken Martial Spirit.


    "Li Yuan couldn''t succeed?"


    "At the end of the second year''s exams, his martial arts score was in the top thirty of his grade. His Physical Quality had already reached level 6 at that time, and now must be even stronger, yet he still hasn''t awakened Martial Spirit?"


    "Awakening Martial Spirit, it''s really difficult!" The nearly hundred practicing students couldn''t help feeling privately shocked.


    Nowadays, across the whole Xia Country and even the entire Blue Star, talent is selected in two ways¡ªacademic courses and Martial Arts Cultivation.


    And all students have been taught Basic Cultivation Methods by the state and practice martial arts from middle school onwards.


    At Guan Mountain District Number One High School, there are over two thousand students in the third-year grade, spread out across twenty classes.


    But there''s only one Martial Arts Elite Class; all the others are ordinary classes.


    The Martial Arts Elite Class has more than sixty students, all of whom have awakened Martial Spirit, and often the top fifty martial arts scores in the grade are held by them. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    For Li Yuan to make it into the top thirty in martial arts in an ordinary class was indeed surprising.


    "What about the others? Did anyone awaken their Spiritual Nature?" the burly man swept his gaze over the rest.


    Silence ensued.


    "Come on in," the burly man said, unfazed.


    In truth, most who would awaken their Martial Spirit often did so in their first year of high school, if not earlier, in middle school.


    Awakening in the third year? The chances were very slim!


    The burly man had only held hopes for Li Yuan, and with a wave of his hand he instructed: "Group Three, go to the Martial Arts Building for the Spiritual Aptitude Test."


    Boom~


    One row of students practicing posture, their legs already sore and feet in pain, quickly got up at these words and rushed out of the classroom.


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan and his group had returned to their spots to continue their practice.


    "Brother Yuan, Teacher Xu seems a bit disappointed," muttered Li Yuan''s classmate with a short goatee, looking quite mature: "But you, Brother Yuan, you don''t seem saddened at all by the results of the Spiritual Aptitude Test."


    "Stop it."


    "Let''s continue training; practicing the basic method for four hours a day is a fundamental requirement." Li Yuan said indifferently, foreseeing the outcome and feeling no disappointment.


    "Four hours?" The mature-looking classmate mumbled, "No wonder you''re the second-record-holder in our class."


    Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and no longer engaged with his classmate, closed his eyes gently, stood in his place, knees slightly bent, and his presence changed immediately, resembling a boulder, and the unshakable air about him grew stronger.

 Chapter 2: 1 Li Yuan_2

    "Solid Rock Cultivation Technique." Li Yuan''s mind conjured up the many actions of this cultivation method.


    He had practiced these actions tens of thousands of times, mastering them by heart.


    In this era, the Martial Path was prevalently practiced.


    The Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods, publicly disclosed by the Seven Star Alliance to all citizens of the Seven Great Planets, had no hierarchy of quality, only suitability.


    Whether they be rich and powerful or commoners, anyone who practiced martial arts started with the Basic Cultivation Method.


    The "Solid Rock Cultivation Technique" was precisely the method Li Yuan had chosen.


    He had been cultivating it for over five years.


    Each Basic Cultivation Method could greatly stimulate the potential of the human body, continuously enhance physical quality, and even fully awaken Spiritual Nature.


    Not to mention Li Yuan''s Physical Quality had not yet reached the 7th level.


    Even Martial Artists whose Physical Quality had surpassed the 9th level and reached the Entry Rank would continuously practice the Basic Cultivation Methods.


    "Huf!"


    "Huf!"


    Each Basic Cultivation Method consisted of thirty-six training movements, accompanied by an exclusive Breathing Technique.


    Li Yuan''s breathing was sometimes rapid, sometimes prolonged, coordinating with his limbs'' movements, causing a faint sound to emerge from within his body.


    Muscles and bones resonating in unison!


    "That feels great." Li Yuan immersed himself in this training.


    He could feel every muscle and bone in his body being stimulated and becoming stronger.


    This was the evolution of life.


    In this era, ordinary youths all had the potential to break the century-old sprint world records.


    And they did it with Cultivation Methods.


    "It''s a pity, the last semester-end assessment didn''t get me into the top twenty of my grade. Otherwise, besides the five thousand in scholarship money, I would have gained some Qi and Blood Elixirs this term." Li Yuan''s thoughts drifted, "With more Qi and Blood Elixirs, my Physical Quality would progress faster, and it would alleviate some of the financial pressure on my uncle and auntie."


    Li Yuan was an orphan; it was his uncle and auntie who raised him.


    His uncle was a state enterprise employee, while his auntie was a middle school teacher.


    In theory, such a family would not be rich, but it should be more than comfortable.


    But Li Yuan had been frail and sickly since childhood, and to treat his illnesses, his uncle and auntie had spent a lot of money.


    Likewise, on the recommendation of a doctor, from junior high onwards, they invested heavily in Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Cultivation, even more than they spent on their own children.


    Fortunately.


    Li Yuan had a good talent, and his cultivation was diligent. He passed the middle school entrance exam and got into Guan Mountain District''s top high school, improving his academic performance even further after entering high school, and by his second year, he had entered the top hundred of his grade and closed the semester-end assessment within the top thirty.


    This brought great joy to his uncle and auntie.


    However, Martial Arts Cultivation requieres talent and even more so, money.


    Especially since his Physical Quality had reached the 6th level, the food from the Star Realm needed to increase Physical Quality, the medicinal elixirs to supplement Qi and Blood, medicated diets, special equipment, and so on, all were like money pits.


    When compared with other students in the top thirty of his grade, Li Yuan''s external conditions were quite ordinary, or even it could be said they were poor.


    Yet in his heart, Li Yuan understood that his uncle and auntie were already doing their best to support him.


    He still had younger brothers and sisters at home, and he couldn''t ask for more. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "But, six times now,"


    "Since the first year of junior high, every annual Spiritual Nature test, I''ve failed." Li Yuan contemplated, "If the Spiritual Nature within me could awaken, I''d get a 10% bonus on my exam scores, and I could easily break into the top ten of my grade."


    "With an awakened Martial Spirit, I''d also receive a national subsidy."


    Whether one has awakened their Martial Spirit.


    Across the entirety of Blue Star and even among the Seven Great Planets, it was the most important indicator for assessing one''s Martial Path talent, without exception.


    Yet, Li Yuan had never managed to awaken his Martial Spirit.


    "Over the years, the number of students from our school who got into the top five prestigious institutions has never exceeded five." Li Yuan silently reflected, "With my current performance, getting into a normal Martial Arts University wouldn''t be a problem."


    "But to get into one of the top five institutions, without awakening my Spiritual Nature, the chances are extremely slim."


    The population of Xia Country was nearly two billion, with twenty-four provinces, each having a Martial Arts University that only enrolled students from within the province¡ªthese were the targets for most students aspiring to the Martial Path.


    However, the top five institutions, established by Xia Country, are the prestigious Martial Arts Universities that enroll students on a national scale.


    In normal Martial Arts Universities, although the students receive considerable cultivation resources, much still depends on themselves.


    But students at one of the top five Martial Arts Universities, each one, would receive extensive resources from the country.


    "With national resources for cultivation, my Martial Path can go much further, and someday I''ll become an Entry Rank Martial Artist like Teacher Xu, or even stronger than him," Li Yuan silently vowed.


    His goal for the college entrance exam was one of the top five prestigious institutions.


    However, the top five Martial Arts Universities also had extremely high score requirements.


    "One step at a time, there are still nine months until the college entrance exam." Li Yuan quietly practiced, with fewer and fewer extraneous thoughts in his mind.


    ...


    Soon after, waves of noise came from outside the classroom; over a dozen students from the third group returned to the classroom door, their faces all bearing a trace of excitement.


    "Teacher Xu, Wan Xiao has awakened his Spiritual Nature."


    "Teacher Xu..." Before the husky man could inquire, many students couldn''t help but blurt out.


    The classroom immediately erupted into commotion.


    "Wan Xiao, he''s awakened his Martial Spirit?"


    "Is he going to the Elite Class now?"


    "Students in the Elite Class, I heard they can start practicing High Rank Cultivation Methods earlier." Most classmates couldn''t help but show envious looks.


    Only with an awakened Martial Spirit can one enter the Elite Class.


    Otherwise, even if someone like Li Yuan made it into the top thirty of his grade, he would still have to stay in a regular class.


    "Wan Xiao?" Li Yuan opened his eyes, involuntarily looking toward the tall and husky figure at the classroom door with a slightly flushed face.


    He was nearly one meter ninety tall, with an extremely burly figure, resembling a bear, with astonishingly thick arms, but his face still bore traces of youthfulness.

 Chapter 3: 1 Li Yuan_3

    He was the only student in the class, aside from Li Yuan, whose martial arts scores were in the top hundred of the grade¡ªWan Xiao.


    "Li Yuan," called out an excited Wan Xiao, seemingly catching Li Yuan''s gaze, he looked over at Li Yuan and smiled.


    Li Yuan smiled back.


    In terms of martial arts scores, Li Yuan was better than Wan Xiao.


    In terms of family background, Wan Xiao was much better off.


    As the top two performing students in class, Li Yuan and Wan Xiao seemed to often compete for scholarships, but their relationship was actually quite good.


    The friendship between classmates is often very pure.


    "Damn! Brother Yuan, you didn''t awaken, but that Wan Dumb Bear did¡ªit''s just dumb luck," muttered the mature-looking boy standing next to Li Yuan, "With that, his martial arts scores, with the spiritual nature bonus, are almost catching up to yours, Brother Yuan."


    Wan Xiao''s nickname was Dumb Bear.


    Li Yuan whispered with a laugh, "Old Zhou, are you jealous?"


    The boy speaking was named Zhou Qi, nicknamed ''Old Zhou'' because of his abundant body hair and mature appearance.


    He had been Li Yuan''s classmate since junior high, and they had both tested into Guan Mountain First High School, ending up in the same class.


    After five or six years, they were akin to good brothers.


    "Jealous my ass," Zhou Qi muttered, "My cultural course grades are good enough for a key university. As for martial arts classes, they''re mainly for building physical strength, can''t be a wimp forever, can''t fall behind even Lingling... I''m speaking out for you, that''s all."


    Li Yuan just smiled.


    Zhou Qi''s physical quality was average, still falling short of level 4, but his academic scores were pretty good, ranking within the top fifty of the grade.


    National resources are limited, and Martial Arts Universities only recruit a minority of students.


    Ultimately, the majority of students still get into different universities based on their academic scores.


    "Wan Xiao has good physical quality; it''s very normal for him to awaken his Martial Spirit," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Besides, college entrance exams are a competition among all senior high school students in the province, or even the nation, not just against Wan Xiao."


    Li Yuan was happy for Wan Xiao''s awakening of the Martial Spirit.


    Already over sixty seniors in their school had awakened their Martial Spirit. Looking at the whole province, the whole country... there were too many.


    Rather than worrying about others, it''s better to improve oneself. This was something Li Yuan had understood from a young age.


    ...


    Wan Xiao''s successful awakening provided a great stimulus to the other students, and those who hadn''t been tested yet began to feel a slight sense of expectation.


    The fourth group, the fifth group... failed, failed.


    In the end, after all the students in Class 3-2 had been tested, only Wan Xiao had awakened his Martial Spirit.


    Once all the students returned to the classroom.


    Teacher Xu, a burly figure, swept his gaze across the room and spoke in a deep voice, "Good, that''s enough basic training for today, stop there."


    Rustle~


    Rustle~ Immediately, all the students stopped, many with their legs aching and weakening.


    But out of respect for Teacher Xu''s strictness, no one dared to lie down on the floor.


    The Basic Cultivation Method was very draining on one''s physical strength.


    Even though the seniors'' physical quality generally reached level 4, after two hours of practice, most were still finding it challenging.


    "Having students awaken their Martial Spirit is a good thing, but don''t be disappointed if you didn''t succeed," said Teacher Xu.


    "There will be another Spiritual Aptitude Test organized by the school during the mid-term exams in January, and the standard exams in April."


    "Before the college entrance exams, there will also be a national Spiritual Aptitude Test."


    "As long as you''re awakened before the entrance exam, you''ll get bonus points on your martial arts scores," Teacher Xu said in a deep voice. "But remember, your exam scores are the foundation. Only with a high base score do bonus points matter."


    "Even in the Elite Class, not everyone will get into a Martial Arts University."


    "How do you get good scores? Hard work!"


    "Take Li Yuan for example, without the spiritual nature bonus, his martial arts scores still surpass 800, beating the majority of the Elite Class students," Teacher Xu declared. "And his diligence, well, that goes without saying."


    Many students couldn''t help but look towards Li Yuan, most of them showing admiration in their eyes.


    Li Yuan''s dedication to training was somewhat renowned throughout the senior year.


    "Brother Yuan, Teacher Xu is drawing hatred for you again," whispered Zhou Qi from the side.


    Li Yuan could only offer a wry smile.


    Ever since his martial arts scores entered the top hundred of the grade, he had become accustomed to being ''that kid from someone else''s family.''


    Teacher Xu''s full name was Xu Bo. He was the homeroom teacher for their martial arts class at Guan Mountain High School and was one of only two top-tier Martial Arts Teachers at the school.


    As Li Yuan knew, Teacher Xu''s physical quality had surpassed level 15, which was quite a respectable existence even among entry-rank martial artists; he had been a military martial artist before retiring due to injuries to teach at Guan Mountain High School.


    It is worth noting that surpassing level 9 in physical quality brings one into the category of entry-rank martial artists, whose status in society is extremely high.


    The average adult''s physical quality generally hovers around levels 5-6.


    "You are currently in a critical phase where your physical quality is rapidly improving. Senior year is also the year that will decide your destiny," Teacher Xu continued to speak. "You must not slack off." S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Now, rest for half an hour, and then I will conduct the skills assessment in turn," Teacher Xu finished speaking and turned to leave.


    "Ah?"


    "Skills assessment?"


    "About to be utterly defeated by Teacher Xu''s class again, I bet you won''t last three moves."


    "Do you think you can last more than three moves?" Many students whispered amongst themselves, all quite excited.


    In Li Yuan''s eyes, a trace of inexplicable light also flashed.


    Blue Star, and even the Seven Great Planets, have always faced the threat of war, where powerful martial artists play an important role.


    Therefore, it''s a general consensus for everyone to train in the Martial Path.


    In human society, the status of top martial arts masters is extremely high.


    For students like Li Yuan, there is immense admiration for martial arts masters.


    Xu Bo is one of the top martial arts masters these students can come into contact with in reality.


    "Brother Yuan, skills assessment is your forte," Zhou Qi said excitedly.


    "Worry about yourself first. I watched you doing standing stakes just now, and you haven''t progressed since last semester," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Don''t get knocked down by Teacher Xu with a single stick later; that would be embarrassing in front of Peng Lingling."


    Peng Lingling is the object of Zhou Qi''s unrequited love.


    Zhou Qi''s face stiffened, and he said sheepishly, "I''m not planning on applying to Martial Arts University, Lingling won''t care."


    ...


    In the classroom, every student took out their own weapon from the weapons cabinet behind the classroom''s weapons rack.


    After that, they all put on their protective gear.


    In this era, each high school student is provided by the nation with one or two unsharpened cold weapons for training purposes, mainly swords, spears, and shields, with a few opting for axes, halberds, and swords.


    As for weapons such as hammers, battle-axes, hooks, forks, whips, and maces? Almost no students would choose them.


    In the practice of cold weapons, sword and spear are mainstream.


    The martial arts exam consists of a basic score of one thousand points, which comes from physical quality, martial arts skills, and academic performance, accounting for 50%, 40%, and 10% respectively.


    If one awakens their Spiritual Nature, there will be additional bonuses.


    Therefore, skills assessment is incredibly important and is the focus of the students'' daily training.


    If one only has good physical quality but lacks skills, they won''t be able to get into Martial Arts University.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan also took out his weapon from his personal weapon cabinet, a black spear nearly three meters long, weighing about five kilograms.


    Though called a spear, the tip was just for decoration, closer to a long stick, as they were issued by the state for practice, not for actual combat.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan held the spear shaft and made what seemed to be a casual thrust.


    Swoosh! The spearhead punctured the air, creating a sensation of tearing through the void, causing the expressions of his classmates nearby to change slightly.


    With Li Yuan''s strength, even a casual thrust, though not sharpened, was quite powerful.


    "No one else in our class can handle such a large spear like Li Yuan can."


    "Li Yuan wielding a spear gives me the feeling he''s going to face Teacher Xu," many classmates whispered among themselves, showing eyes full of envy and admiration.


    There were many in the class who practiced spear technique, but most were reluctant to train with such a long spear.


    "A longer reach means greater strength."


    But the longer the shaft, the harder it is to control.


    A weapon is something to train and nurture for a lifetime; what suits one best is the best.


    "Number one in skills! Brother Yuan''s martial arts skills assessment score at the end of his sophomore year was 356 points, the only one in the grade to exceed 350 points," Zhou Qi said with a grin. "Even Teacher Xu said Brother Yuan''s spearmanship is very solid."


    Many classmates couldn''t help nodding their heads.


    Without the bonus points from Spiritual Nature and with physical quality that isn''t the best of the best, how could Li Yuan''s martial arts scores break into the top thirty of his grade?


    It was because his spear technique was far superior to his peers.


    On the single subject of martial arts skills, Li Yuan was widely acknowledged as first in his grade.


    Shortly after.


    Teacher Xu, broad-shouldered and stout, casually carrying a long stick, re-entered the classroom.


    His gaze lingered a bit longer on Li Yuan.


    "For the test, I will adhere to the standards of the college entrance exam," Xu Bo said in a deep voice, holding the long stick and speaking very seriously.


    "Take each test seriously, treat every test as if it''s the college entrance exam, and when the real exam comes, it will just be another test," he instructed.


    "Based on student numbers, go in reverse order. One at a time."


    "Number 112, Zhou Qi."

 Chapter 4: 2 Physical Quality Level 6.5

    "Why are we going in reverse order based on student numbers this time? Is Teacher Xu targeting me?" Zhou Qi shrank his neck.


    He had thought he would be the last to be tested, by which time, he guessed, the other students would probably not pay much attention and he would not lose face as a result.


    But to do it in reverse? Zhou Qi felt an urge to die.


    "Go on." Li Yuan patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder with a smile, "A cut comes whether you stretch out your neck or retract it."


    Zhou Qi made a face, "Even if you''re going to decapitate me, at least give me a moment to wash my neck."


    Muttering under his breath, Zhou Qi was very honest with his actions, fearing a reprimand from Teacher Xu Bo, he quickly took his long spear and walked to the center of the classroom.


    In the center of the classroom was a huge silver metallic circle, distinctly different from the rest of the floor material.


    The silver circular ground had a diameter of about 12 meters, giving the impression at first glance of an arena.


    Li Yuan, Wan Xiao, and the hundred other students tacitly stepped out of the limits of the silver round.


    "Management authorization." Teacher Xu suddenly spoke in a deep voice, a device similar to a smartwatch on his left wrist emitted a faint red light, "Class 3 (2), Martial Arts Skills testing, Physical Quality detection, record simultaneously!"


    Immediately.


    Whoosh~ The many devices above the classroom, previously inactive, instantly flickered with white light.


    The white light came down, covering the silver circular area perfectly.


    "Tss~" One of the devices suddenly shot out two beams of red light, which spread to envelop both Zhou Qi and Xu Bo.


    Everyone was accustomed to this scene.


    Merely three seconds.


    "Swoosh!" The electronic screen at the back of the classroom suddenly lit up, displaying two very conspicuous lines of white text¡ª


    "Zhou Qi (student), Physical Quality: 3.9 level (previous test 3.7 level)"


    "Xu Bo (teacher), Physical Quality: 12.0 level (beyond the detection limit)"


    ...


    "Huh, it''s been so long since the last test, and I''ve actually improved by 0.2 level?" Zhou Qi''s face showed a hint of smugness, "It seems that the effort of the past few months has paid off a bit."


    "Physical Quality still not at level 4?" Xu Bo frowned slightly.


    A Physical Quality of 3.9 level, looking at the millions of third-year high school students in the whole province, was actually not bad, even average.


    But you see, in Guan Mountain District''s top high school in the capital, such physical quality was at the bottom.


    "It seems Zhou Qi says he''s laying low, but his body is very honest." Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    Their age was the stage where physical quality could skyrocket, and an increase of 0.2 level in three months meant Zhou Qi was indeed working hard behind the scenes.


    With this rate of progress, by the time of the college entrance examination, Zhou Qi''s Physical Quality reaching 4.5 levels was hopeful.


    "It''s just that the school''s Life Vitality Detector is a bit low-grade and can''t measure Teacher Xu''s real Physical Quality," Li Yuan thought quietly.


    The Life Vitality Blood Testing Instrument was an extremely common device in this era, frequently found in schools and various Martial Halls.


    Many people also had it in their homes, with complex sensing principles, specifically designed to detect the strength of life''s vitality and then convert it into the corresponding Physical Quality level.


    5.0 level was the standard for a normal adult.


    10.0 level was the minimum threshold for an Entry Rank Martial Artist. Only Entry Rank Martial Artists were truly considered Martial Artists, who could receive benefits like government subsidies and many other rights.


    The school''s Life Vitality Blood Testing Instrument, mainly serving students, typically had an upper limit of 12.0 levels. It might seem basic, but it was very reliable and not easily damaged.


    For an instrument with such high usage, durability was most important.


    Of course, the Physical Quality assessment for the college entrance examination wasn''t solely based on instrument measurements but also included specialized tests of speed, Fist Strength, and many other aspects, with a final comprehensive score being given.


    "For the test, I will assess your scores against the college entrance examination standards, using about 5.0 level of strength and speed. I hope you can demonstrate a level of 300 points under the rating system," Xu Bo spoke. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Martial Arts Skills total 400 points. Scoring 300 points in just the Martial Arts Skills category was the threshold for admission to a Martial Arts University.


    Zhou Qi, standing ten meters away, was already sweating in his palms.


    Level 5?


    In other words, Xu Bo would employ speed and strength much stronger than his own.


    "What are you waiting for? Attack!" Xu Bo scolded.


    "Yes."


    Zhou Qi held the spear in the central position and suddenly lunged forward with impressive speed, covering the ten meters in the blink of an eye; his two-meter-long spear danced swiftly, aiming directly at Xu Bo.


    Spear Technique relies on a single thrust.


    Zhou Qi''s Physical Quality may seem not high, but his Fist Strength had exploded beyond one hundred fifty kilograms.


    And having practiced Spear Technique for two years, even if his Comprehension was average and he wasn''t especially diligent, he still had a solid foundation.


    At least his thrust looked competent.


    That''s why students were required to wear full-body armor during tests.


    In cold weapon combat, even if the weapon was not sharpened, without any protection, you could be seriously injured or maimed.


    Whoosh!


    Xu Bo, who was tall and burly and not wearing any armor, seemed to casually step to the left. His movement wasn''t fast, but he easily dodged Zhou Qi''s fierce spear thrust.


    The spear''s tip missed his body by a hair''s breadth.


    At first glance, it looked extremely dangerous.


    "That movement technique?" Li Yuan''s eyes brightened as he noticed the sophistication in Xu Bo''s step.


    Not an inch too much or too little.


    A perfect conservation of energy.


    It was an absolute control over one''s body coupled with precise prediction of the opponent''s attack, admitting no margin for error.


    "Dodged again?" Zhou Qi didn''t hesitate, withdrawing his spear and following with a turn of the spearhead, flicking out a series of spear flowers before stabbing towards Xu Bo once more.


    Yet Xu Bo simply retreated one step, seemingly narrowly avoiding the attack once again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhou Qi wielded his long spear with all his might, either stabbing, slashing, or sweeping, but before Xu Bo''s exquisite movement technique, all his attacks fell short.


    "So close, just a bit more." Zhou Qi gritted his teeth.


    "It''s not just a bit, it''s far off," Li Yuan lamented quietly from the sidelines.


    He could see clearly, it wasn''t that Zhou Qi''s spear technique was poor, but that Xu Bo''s movement technique was too exquisite.


    His steps, appearing unhurried, were alarmingly precise, calculating all of Zhou Qi''s long spear movements in advance.


    And after more than ten consecutive spear thrusts, Zhou Qi was also under a great burden, feeling weakness in his arms, causing his spear momentum to slow.


    It was in that moment.


    "Rip!"


    The sound of air tearing apart, the constantly evading Xu Bo suddenly stepped forward, his left hand thrusting out the long stick with a bang, the head of the stick moving like a venomous snake, instantaneously deflecting Zhou Qi''s spear parry, and sending the long spear flying.


    "Bang~"


    The head of the stick chopped down, lightly tapping the back of Zhou Qi''s hand, causing a surge of pain that made him release the long spear instinctively.


    Clang~ The long spear hit the ground.


    The stick was already withdrawn.


    Inside the classroom, it was dead silent, all the students looking at the scene.


    Xu Bo, who had only taken over their class''s Martial Arts teaching since the last semester.


    And in the skill test at the end of the previous semester, Xu Bo had not revealed such amazing body movement and control.


    "Is this Teacher Xu''s true strength?"


    "Clearly, Teacher Xu''s speed is very slow, probably even slower than mine, but his footwork..." More than a hundred students in the class were shocked; many had Physical Quality over 5.0.


    In past teachings, these students knew that Xu Bo''s Physical Quality was extremely strong, knew that Xu Bo''s Martial Arts Skills were profound.


    But when instructing them, Xu Bo had never fought against them with the speed and strength of a level 5 Physical Quality.


    Teaching drills and actual combat are two different things.


    Perhaps many students had seen far more amazing battle videos on the internet.


    But watching videos and the impact brought by witnessing a fight at close range are different.


    Tick-tock!


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, a number had appeared¡ª"245 points".


    The score was determined by a program that evaluated data, the process of combat, and the results, all calculated together.


    For the college entrance exam, each student''s skills assessment would also include manual evaluation.


    "The score, actually lower than last semester?" Zhou Qi muttered to himself but didn''t feel too embarrassed.


    At least, he had launched so many thrusts.


    ... In order of student numbers.


    One after another, students underwent the test, with most having Physical Quality between 4.5 and 5.5.


    As for the Martial Arts Skills assessment?


    The process of the tests, much like Zhou Qi''s, followed a similar pattern.


    It began with the students attacking, while Xu Bo easily dodged each assault with his movement technique, and finally, a stick thrust out. Even though many students demonstrated superior speed and strength, they still couldn''t block it.


    The scores, mostly struggling to surpass 300 points.


    Even for Wan Xiao, student number 2, with a Physical Quality test score as high as 6.0, his burst of speed and strength was a significant cut above level 5.0.


    Yet he held out against only three of Xu Bo''s strikes.


    In the end, Wan Xiao''s skills score was 322 points.


    He was also the only one in the class to exceed 320 points so far.


    "Wan Xiao, last semester''s final was 329, right? Why have you regressed?"


    "It''s not that he has regressed; it''s that the assessment standards have increased significantly. Haven''t you noticed that most of our scores have dropped?"


    "Last semester''s final exam was according to the high school junior year standards, this test is according to college entrance exam standards."


    "Only Li Yuan is left."


    "I wonder how many strikes he can withstand from Teacher Xu." All the classmates'' gazes were focused on Li Yuan, and even many of the girls showed anticipation.


    In Martial Path achievements, Li Yuan was within the top thirty of the whole grade, but in senior class (2), he was undisputedly number one.


    Good performance and a likable personality naturally made him more popular.


    During student life, most are not as opportunistic as in society.


    "Li Yuan," Xu Bo''s eyes flashed with a barely perceptible expectation.


    "Teacher Xu," Li Yuan, holding his long spear, stepped into the circular area paved with silver metal.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of red light shot over, enveloping Li Yuan completely.


    Three seconds later.


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, data appeared¡ª"Li Yuan (Student), Physical Quality: 6.5 (Last check 6.0)"

 Chapter 5: 3 Unawakened Higher Spiritual Nature

    "I''m not seeing things, am I? Li Yuan''s physical quality has reached level 6.5? It''s improved by 0.5 since the end of June?"


    "Improved by 0.5 level in less than three months?"


    "Even Lin Lanyue, the current top student in martial arts and a hopeful for Starry Sky University admission, couldn''t have improved so quickly, could she?"


    "Is the machine broken?"


    "The school uses it but never seems to fix it; it would be normal if it''s broken." More than a hundred students were surprised, their gazes shifting between Li Yuan and the screen.


    Most people actually understood that the likelihood of the equipment being damaged was almost zero.


    The key was that the speed of Li Yuan''s improvement in physical quality was indeed frightening.


    In the elite class, even students who had awakened their Martial Spirit and came from wealthy families couldn''t improve at such a monstrous rate.


    "I''ve been working so hard lately, spending the vacation soaking in the cultivation room and consuming all sorts of supplements every day, and my physical quality has just barely reached level 6.0. I thought I could close the gap with Li Yuan." Wan Xiao, big as a bear, couldn''t help but think: "And now, the gap is even wider?"


    The relationship between the two was good; Wan Xiao had always set Li Yuan as his target, hoping to catch up to him.


    "Level 6.5! Brother Yuan is awesome!" Zhou Qi couldn''t help shouting, instinctively feeling happy for Li Yuan.


    Ten meters away.


    "Level 6.5? How could Li Yuan progress so quickly?" Teacher Xu Bo also became a bit unsettled.


    Having not sensed an awakening of the Martial Spirit in Li Yuan during today''s test, he felt somewhat disappointed.


    An awakening in Wan Xiao was a pleasant surprise.


    Now, the level of Li Yuan''s physical quality was a shock.


    "If he had awakened his Martial Spirit and was practicing a high-rank cultivation method, then improving by 0.5 level in less than three months wouldn''t be too rare... But he underwent testing at noon and clearly hadn''t awakened his Martial Spirit," Teacher Xu thought with many ideas racing through his mind. "Besides, he hasn''t had the time to cultivate."


    As an entry-rank martial artist and one who had crawled through the ranks in the military, Teacher Xu saw things the students could not.


    In a matter of seconds, he thought of numerous possibilities.


    "Li Yuan." Teacher Xu spoke in a deep voice: "Don''t rush to test your skill level. First, go to the track to test your burst speed, and then test your fist strength again."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, understanding Teacher Xu''s intentions.


    The Life Vitality Detector hardly ever malfunctioned, but there were ways to trick its sensory system, resulting in false data.


    There was a possibility of cheating.


    However, the speed and strength one could explosively unleash were impossible to fake.


    "It seems to be a comprehensive test."


    "Looks like Teacher Xu isn''t absolutely sure either."


    "What will Li Yuan''s burst speed be?"


    "Hard to say, the Life Vitality Detector provides composite data, and everyone''s situation is different. Even if two people have the same physical quality level, some may be faster, others might have higher fist strength, and some stronger endurance." All the students were whispering to each other, and most were attentive.


    They were all curious.


    If Li Yuan''s physical quality was indeed level 6.5, how high would he rank in the martial arts performance of the entire grade?


    "Activate permissions for the sprint speed test and fist strength test, and record," Teacher Xu ordered coldly, a flicker of red light glowing from his wrist.


    "Hum~" White light projected down from above the classroom, illuminating the roughly 40-meter-long dark red metal track to the left side of the classroom.


    Above the track, faint lights twinkled.


    This was why martial arts classrooms needed to be so spacious.


    The large amount of technological equipment used to test physical data required space.


    For instance, the martial arts classroom for the elite class covered an even larger area, like a small sports arena.


    "Testing burst speed?" Li Yuan placed his long spear on the silver metallic floor and came to the start of the track. He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.


    The speed test wasn''t just running.


    During the martial arts college entrance exam, sequential tests for forty meters, one hundred meters, one kilometer, and ten kilometers would be conducted.


    The forty-meter speed test had the highest score weight, followed by the ten-kilometer long-distance run.


    One tested instantaneous burst speed, and the other endurance.


    "In martial combat, life and death are often determined within two or three moves, or even a single exchange. Since life and death hang by a thread, instantaneous burst speed is the most crucial," Li Yuan quickly adjusted his condition: "But in war, one often faces more than one enemy, and battles can last a long time, making endurance equally important."


    Li Yuan was clear that the establishment of the martial arts college entrance exams was closely related to war.


    In this era, human civilization on Blue Star and the Seven Great Planets all faced enormous survival threats.


    War, was the main theme of society.


    Whoosh!


    Using the Breathing Technique to regulate himself, Li Yuan quickly relaxed with each inhale and exhale. His spiritual power was strong enough to faintly sense the beating of his internal organs, the steady flow of the heart''s blood supply, and the strands of vigor throughout his limbs.


    The next instant!


    "Boom!" With the spine as his core, Li Yuan''s overall strength suddenly tensed in unison, as if drawing a bowstring fully back, his vigor was transmitted through the hips directly to his legs. Like an arrow released from the bow, he instantly sprinted forth.


    The source of vigor is in the feet, activated by the legs.


    The explosive power of the thighs is far stronger than other body parts.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan sprinted across the forty-meter track in seconds, slamming into the buffer wall at the end of the track.


    The buffer wall, akin to a sponge but with more specialized material, was custom-made by the school to protect the students.


    Tick-tock!


    Data appeared on the screen on the wall at the end of the track ¡ª "14.2 meters per second."


    This was Li Yuan''s finish line speed, not the average speed.


    "That''s fast."


    "It seems Li Yuan''s physical quality has indeed reached level 6.5," the spectating students spoke to each other, now thoroughly convinced.


    They all knew that the Basic Cultivation Method Li Yuan practiced was the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique, which specialized in strength.


    If Li Yuan was that fast, what about his strength?


    "14.2 meters per second? Not bad," Teacher Xu nodded slightly and directly instructed: "Now, test your fist strength."


    The fist strength testing area is much smaller, located in the corner of the classroom, rather inconspicuous.


    Li Yuan stood on the testing ground.


    Whoosh~ Several white beams of light were projected downwards from the equipment overhead, enveloping Li Yuan to check if his movements were standard and qualified.


    The fist strength test was not about pursuing extreme explosive power, but rather the strongest force that could be unleashed by one arm when steadying oneself in place.


    If one''s posture couldn''t even be maintained while throwing a punch, then no matter how strong the power released, it would be meaningless. In a life-or-death fight, it would only give the enemy an opportunity to kill with one strike.


    "Relax first." Li Yuan adjusted his breathing, his tense body gradually relaxed, his feet spread apart, knees slightly bent to generate more propelling power the moment he punched.


    Following that, at the sigh of his exhale, Li Yuan''s spine was like a great dragon, his left foot stepping slightly to the side, the right foot pushing off the ground, through the twisting of his waist and abdomen, instantly drawing the power of his waist and back, transmitting all the strength in his body from the bottom up to his right arm.


    Five fingers came together to form a fist!


    His right fist, like a cannonball fired from a chamber, fiercely struck the giant sandbag hanging in front.


    "Bang!" A dull booming sound.


    In an instant.


    The screen above the fist strength testing area clearly displayed: "424 kilograms (movement qualified)."


    "Damn!"


    "424 kilograms! Awesome!"


    "With that kind of fist strength, he''s not far from the 7th level physical quality standard. I remember for the 7th level physical quality, the fist strength requirement is 450 kilograms." There was a stir, and Li Yuan''s classmates were thoroughly shocked.


    Martial Path isn''t just about nurturing the body; the data from the Life Vitality Detector can only ever be a reference.


    What''s shown in actual combat is what truly convinces people.


    Across the entire Blue Star, and even within the Seven Star Alliance, there are strict divisions regarding physical quality levels corresponding to burst speed and fist strength:


    Level 5: 10 meters per second, fist strength 200 kilograms


    Level 6: 13 meters per second; fist strength 300 kilograms


    Level 7: 15 meters per second, fist strength 450 kilograms


    Level 8: 18 meters per second; fist strength 800 kilograms


    Level 9: 20 meters per second, fist strength 1000 kilograms


    ...


    Despite individual talent differences and different Cultivation Methods leading to various tendencies, the discrepancies from the standard for each level aren''t too large.


    Li Yuan''s Life Vitality Detector displayed 6.5 level, with burst speed within the normal range.


    But his fist strength was very close to the 7th level standard.


    "My fist strength peak is still short of 300 kilograms." Wan Xiao subconsciously clenched the Combat Saber in his hand: "Is the gap between Li Yuan and myself already this big?"


    "Training involves being tight within relaxation, and employing strength within flexibility, only using true tightness can one deliver powerful and explosive strikes. It seems my student has really grasped the essence of the Basic Cultivation Methods," said Teacher Xu Bo, his eyesight was sharp enough to see the crux of it.


    Normal people find it difficult to channel all of their body''s strength; managing to exploit ninety percent of it is already very admirable.


    One must fully understand the vigor in their body and condense this vigor to exert one hundred percent of their strength.


    Li Yuan, evidently, had almost achieved this.


    "Not bad," said Teacher Xu Bo, revealing a rare smile.


    This scene caused many students to marvel silently. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    You should know that when Wan Xiao awakened his Martial Spirit, Teacher Xu Bo didn''t smile.


    Li Yuan, hearing the sounds around him, maintained a calm exterior, but inwardly, he felt somewhat unsatisfied.


    "According to the Divine Palace panel, my instantaneous burst speed should reach 14.4 meters per second, and my fist strength peak should be 426 kilograms," Li Yuan frowned slightly: "It seems like I still haven''t perfectly executed my physical quality."


    At that moment.


    In Li Yuan''s field of vision, there was an almost transparent screen that others couldn''t perceive but he could see.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 6.6 (unranked)]


    Physical Quality Index: 72 (Indicates Explosive Power, Endurance, Speed, Physique, Spiritual Power, etc. Comprehensive Assessment.)


    Fist Strength: 426 kilograms


    Speed: 14.4 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 12.4 level


    Physical Body Cultivation Method:


    Mind Cultivation Method:


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Third Stage 36%), Movement Technique (Third Stage 21%), Fist Technique (Third Stage 88%)


    [Note: A certain high-rank Spiritual Nature lies dormant within the body, yet to awaken.]


    ¡ª¡ª


    Li Yuan could make the entire screen appear before his eyes with just a thought in his mind, clearly displaying his Martial Arts Cultivation.


    This was something that had awakened suddenly when Li Yuan''s Physical Quality reached level 5.0 in his second year of High School.


    At first, Li Yuan thought it was similar to ''systems'' or ''data panels'' that he had seen in some novels.


    Later, after repeated experiments and confirmation, he discovered that the screen itself only had a detection function, akin to an extraordinarily precise ''Cultivation Detector''.


    It wasn''t capable of directly enhancing Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Cultivation.


    "However, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace''s has already given me ample help," Li Yuan thought silently.


    As he pondered.


    Li Yuan returned to the silver metallic floor and picked up his black Long Spear.


    His gaze fell upon Teacher Xu Bo, who stood ten meters away. The panel before his eyes shifted, displaying a string of text messages:


    [Target individual, Life Level exceeds detection limit (current Life Level detection limit is 16.6)]


    "Teacher Xu, please enlighten me." Li Yuan first saluted, then his figure suddenly darted forward, crossing several meters in an instant, and with an explosion of strength, the Long Spear, like a dragon with the screeching of tearing air, headed straight for Xu Bo.


    "Hm? This Spear Technique!" Xu Bo''s eyes lit up completely.

 Chapter 6: 4 Spear Technique, Scores

    The spear tip tore through the air, bringing a sharp whistle.


    "So fast!"


    "Li Yuan''s spear." Most of the students held their breath as they watched, all feeling that Li Yuan''s long spear was too fast, covering several meters in the blink of an eye.


    To know, Li Yuan and Teacher Xu Bo were less than ten meters apart, and Li Yuan''s long spear was nearly three meters in length, plus Li Yuan''s burst speed... the spear tip, aimed directly at Teacher Xu Bo''s chest.


    "A mid-level thrust?" Zhou Qi clenched the long spear in his hand, recognizing the move from Li Yuan.


    Spear technique can vary infinitely, but the fundamental styles are no more than blocking, seizing, stabbing, thrusting, cleaving, collapsing, poking, entangling, and twisting, with all spear skills being derived from these basic moves.


    A mid-level thrust can be considered the most ordinary of spear techniques, and yet it is also the most crucial.


    So-called mid-level thrusting means thrusting straight and level, taking the shortest distance between two points, the assault swift as an arrow.


    What it contests is precision, speed, and power.


    "It''s the same move, but Brother Yuan''s thrust could probably pierce me dead," Zhou Qi thought in awe.


    In the arena.


    "Straight thrust? Using the weapon and strength advantage?" Xu Bo discerned Li Yuan''s intent.


    As the saying goes, ''the knife is like a fierce tiger, the sword like a roaming dragon, the stick sweeps across widely, and the spear picks a single line.''


    The stick is shorter than the long spear.


    In such a straight confrontation, the long spear will undoubtedly strike first, and the speed and strength Li Yuan possessed are far greater than Xu Bo''s explosive 5.0-level power.


    "Boom!"


    Facing Li Yuan''s attack, Xu Bo no longer started with an evasion like before but instead took the initiative to strike. With one step forward, he swung his long stick in the air, drawing a smooth arc, whip-fast as it struck the tip of the spear, borrowing the force to alter its direction sharply.


    He dodged Li Yuan''s ferocious strike.


    "Hiss~!" As if he had expected it, Li Yuan instantly utilized the forceful rebound of his spear shaft and, with his waist as the core, violently twisted his body and powered through, turning the spear shaft a full one hundred and eighty degrees, chopping down towards Xu Bo with the force of an ax blade.


    This time they were closer, and the burst speed was even faster.


    "Haha!" Teacher Xu Bo suddenly laughed, as if he possessed foresight, dodging backward and avoiding Li Yuan''s fierce chop.


    "He can dodge that too?" Li Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart, the teacher''s reaction speed was just too fast.


    Without giving him time to think.


    "Whoosh!" A blurred stick shadow had already taken advantage of the spear''s missed swipe to slam down fiercely.


    "Retreat!" Li Yuan immediately changed his footwork to retreat explosively while he simultaneously tried to block the incoming stick with his long spear horizontally.


    "Bang~" Weapons collided.


    Yet Li Yuan didn''t feel the impact from the opponent''s long stick, as if his long spear was stuck to it.


    Very uncomfortable.


    Whoosh!


    Xu Bo suddenly advanced a step, closing the distance with Li Yuan yet again, wielding his long stick in a deceptive thrust, fast and fierce.


    "Swish!" Li Yuan was forced to retreat and dodge; the long spear, being a long weapon, required space to unleash its full power.


    But what shocked Li Yuan was that even though there was nothing wrong with his movement technique, he simply couldn''t back away. Teacher Xu Bo''s long stick always managed to land just right, forcing Li Yuan''s long spear into defensive parries again and again, disrupting his full force.


    The long stick sometimes turned wild, sometimes gentle, unpredictable.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Their weapons collided lightning-fast over a dozen times, and Li Yuan was already forced back to the edge of the silver floor.


    "Boom~" Another stick shadow swept through, and Li Yuan only felt a slight pain in his chest, his body retreating uncontrollably backward.


    Taking several steps back, he finally stopped.


    With full body armor and Teacher Xu Bo not exerting strong force, a single training stick strike wouldn''t cause any real harm to Li Yuan.


    "I lost." Li Yuan held his long spear upright and said helplessly, "Teacher Xu, even with my advantage in speed and strength, I couldn''t withstand even twenty of your moves."


    This only indicated that the gap in their cold weapon skills was large.


    Around them, it was as silent as death.


    All the students stared dumbfounded at the match between Li Yuan and Teacher Xu Bo.


    The exchange was short but extremely intense, almost like a real combat, far above the level of the skills test they had just undergone.


    "You have already blocked more than ten of my moves," Teacher Xu Bo said, a rare smile emerging on his usually cool face. "Your spear technique has improved greatly since the end of last semester''s exams. I also had to go all out to win against you."


    All out?


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly; this was merely Teacher Xu demonstrating full effort at a Fifth Level Physical Quality.


    If both sides unleashed their power and speed to the fullest, he probably wouldn''t be able to withstand three moves.


    This was the difference in skill level.


    "At the end of last semester''s exam, my Spear Technique and movement technique were both at Second Stage 99%, breaking through only after the test," Li Yuan thought to himself. "By that estimate, Teacher Xu''s Skill Realm must be at least at a Fourth Level standard."


    Without other points of reference, Li Yuan wasn''t too clear on the specific differences between First Stage, Second Stage, and Third Stage as indicated on his dashboard.


    But he could vaguely discern that among his classmates, only a very few like Wan Xiao had achieved the Second Stage standard in cold weapon skills.


    At the same time, Li Yuan was certain of one thing.


    If his Spear Technique and movement technique improved, it would definitely be reflected in the data on his panel.


    Drip-drop!


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Skills score had appeared¡ª"365 points."


    "So high?"


    "It''s over 360 points," Zhou Qi''s eyes shone brightly.


    "This is the difficulty level of the high school entrance exams, and Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Skills score has risen so much just entering senior year?"


    "With such a single subject score, he''s probably among the best in the city."


    "By the time of the college entrance exams, maybe Li Yuan could vie for the city''s top scorer in Martial Arts Skills."


    "Li Yuan will definitely get into Martial Arts University."


    "If only my Spear Technique was as formidable as Li Yuan''s..."


    "Who''s peeing yellow, give him a wake-up splash."


    These classmates were both shocked and envious, whispering among themselves.


    If Li Yuan''s score had been only 320 or 330 points, these classmates might have been jealous of him, as the gap wouldn''t have been so outrageous.


    But with such a large difference, most people could only admire.


    Most people are aware of their own limits, why be envious of someone clearly not on the same level? S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Moreover, Martial Arts Skills and Physical Quality are different.


    If one comes from an extremely well-off family that can afford to hire a dedicated Dietician and Physiotherapist, and set up a specialized training plan, and moreover if one awakens the Martial Spirit... it''s possible to elevate one''s Physical Quality to Level 7 or even higher during senior year.


    But improvements in Martial Arts Skills can''t simply be bought with money.


    ...


    With Li Yuan''s assessment concluding, the time had come to 5:30 in the afternoon.


    "Alright."


    "Looking at today''s test, most of you have been working hard after entering senior year," Teacher Xu Bo spoke again, his voice regaining its coolness. "But there are also some students who have regressed instead of progressing."


    "You are senior year students now. The college entrance exam does not, I say, decide your life''s destiny, but it is certainly a significant opportunity in your life... The day after tomorrow afternoon, I will come again to supervise your Martial Path practice, class dismissed," Teacher Xu Bo turned and left.


    Behind him, another voice drifted over: "Li Yuan, Wan Xiao, both of you, come to my office."


    The many students, already with sore feet from practice and drenched in sweat, immediately scattered.


    Many boys, while gulping down water, called out to each other to rush for a spot in the cafeteria.


    Some girls discussed going to the restroom first.


    "Brother Yuan, I''ll head to the cafeteria with Yan Zhou and the others first, and save seats for you! We''ll also grab a nutritional meal for you," Zhou Qi shouted.


    "Old Zhou, Brother Yuan''s meal needs to be double the portion," the robust male student named Yan Zhou laughed, then called out to Li Yuan, "Brother Yuan, leave the meal to us; you better hurry to the office."


    "Thanks, I''ll transfer the money to you guys later," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "No, no, you''ve bought me breakfast a few times, and I haven''t paid you back yet. Let''s call it even with tonight''s dinner," Yan Zhou laughed.


    Li Yuan chuckled.


    Apart from Zhou Qi, he had several good friends in the class.


    "Li Yuan, let''s go," the burly Wan Xiao called out to Li Yuan: "What does Mr. Xu want with us?"


    "If he''s looking for you, it''s probably to transfer you into the Elite Class," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    As for why Mr. Xu was looking for him? Li Yuan had his guesses, but wasn''t yet certain.

 Chapter 7: 5 I Believe in You (Thanks to the Wandering Silver League for their All-In Support!)

    ```


    The setting sun cast a slanting glow, enveloping the campus in golden twilight.


    The students, having just finished class, moved in groups, dressed in the uniform martial attire, as they made their way out of the classrooms towards the cafeteria, their voices filled with laughter and chatter.


    Li Yuan and Wan Xiao exited the senior high school building, circumvented a large flower bed, and entered the office building.


    At the end of the corridor to the left on the first floor was Teacher Xu''s office.


    Though called an office, it was in fact a martial arts room of astonishingly vast proportions.


    "Reporting."


    "Reporting." Upon arriving at the door, Li Yuan glanced around and estimated that this martial arts room exceeded five hundred square meters.


    This was his second visit.


    Equipment such as life vitality detectors and fist strength testing areas were placed around, and noticeably more advanced.


    On one side of the wall, cold weapons like spears, sticks, and axes were displayed, most of them unsharpened.


    But there were also sharpened cold weapons.


    Even more, Li Yuan caught sight of an independent restroom and physiotherapy room at the far end of the office.


    "Li Yuan, this is what a true warrior cultivation room looks like. Entry rank warriors can practice here in peace," whispered Wan Xiao from beside him, a hint of envy in his eyes, "My family''s cultivation room is less than a hundred square meters, not even one-fifth the size of Teacher Xu''s place here, and we don''t have a dedicated physiotherapy room."


    "Normally, if I need to treat my body, my dad has to drive me to the Martial Hall. It''s quite troublesome."


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    Physiotherapy room? His own home didn''t even have a separate cultivation room.


    As for going to the Martial Hall? That was even more out of the question financially.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, a warrior cultivation room of several hundred square meters, like the one before him, would cost tens of millions of Blue Star coins just for the interior decoration.


    In Jiang City''s housing market, even a moderately good location would cost over twenty thousand Blue Star coins per square meter.


    By Li Yuan''s estimation, the total price of this martial arts room was at least twenty million Blue Star coins.


    What was the average monthly salary in Jiang City? Li Yuan remembered seeing a figure not long ago on the news; it should be about 11,342 Blue Star coins.


    The median income was even lower.


    "You two, come in." Teacher Xu Bo stood at the center of the martial arts room, his presence like that of an iron tower, especially that metallic right arm which was tremendously intimidating.


    Teacher Xu''s aura seemed more restrained than it had been in the classroom earlier.


    Yet it exuded a more dangerous feel.


    "Teacher," greeted Li Yuan and Wan Xiao obediently.


    "Wan Xiao, I''ve submitted your class transfer application. It should be approved before six this evening. After approval, report directly to the elite class tomorrow," Teacher Xu said to Wan Xiao.


    Known as Bear, Wan Xiao was burly in stature, yet appeared somewhat diminutive in front of Teacher Xu.


    "That fast?" Wan Xiao was caught off guard.


    "Don''t worry, I''m not rushing you out," said Teacher Xu with a cool voice but patiently, "After your spiritual awakening, you can practice high-rank cultivation methods, which are far more efficient than basic ones."


    "The college entrance exam is drawing near, and your awakening to the Martial Spirit came quite late. It''s better for you to join the elite class sooner; maybe it will give you an extra point in the exams."


    Teacher Xu continued, "Later, when the application is approved, the entry-level texts that you tried during the test and which suit you will be sent to your school account. I remember your family has a cultivation room, so don''t bother with the self-study session tonight. Go home and try practicing them one by one."


    "After you report tomorrow, the teachers in the elite class will give you one-on-one guidance until you''ve mastered them completely," Teacher Xu concluded.


    "Thank you, Teacher," Wan Xiao said gratefully.


    He now understood that Teacher Xu was not trying to get rid of him, but was actually considering his situation seriously.


    "You may go," Teacher Xu waved his hand.


    Wan Xiao saluted and left.


    "Li Yuan," Teacher Xu looked at Li Yuan again, curiosity in his eyes, "your spear technique and movement technique should have reached the Third Stage."


    The Third Stage? Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.


    In the standard high school curriculum, there were no such terms as First Stage, Second Stage, or Third Stage.


    Only scores for skills.


    "Oh, I forgot," Teacher Xu remarked upon seeing Li Yuan''s expression, coming to a realization, "That is the terminology for entry rank martial artists. Then let me phrase it differently. Have you reached the Gold Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network?"

    "I arrived just half a month ago," Li Yuan said.


    Blue Star, as well as the Seven Great Planets, all have virtual networks that span their respective planets, with a simulation realism exceeding 70%, and the most popular game within these virtual networks is the ''Starry Skies Fighting Network''.


    "The Starry Skies Fighting Network is quite special, and it''s not just a simple game," Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan. "It primarily tests a person''s martial arts skills, and it''s very training-intensive."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    The prevalence of the Starry Skies Fighting Network, heavily promoted by the entire Seven Star Alliance on each planet, is inseparably linked to its significant promotional impact on reality.


    "Being able to stand firm in the Gold Stage indicates that your spear technique and movement technique must have reached the Third Stage," Xu Bo said. "For your age, reaching this level in martial arts skills is quite impressive."


    Li Yuan smiled and said, "It''s because of the good teaching I have received."


    A rare smile squeezed its way onto Xu Bo''s usually stern face.


    "Your physical quality is also improving quickly," Xu Bo said, his eyes reflecting a hint of curiosity. "Can you tell your teacher the reason?"


    He was indeed curious.


    "I''ve just been practicing normally," Li Yuan shook his head and said. "Teacher should know my family''s situation; I can''t afford those special medicines."


    "Don''t worry, your teacher isn''t suspecting you of using forbidden medicine that stimulates life''s potential," Xu Bo said.


    In this era, there are some special treasures that can rapidly enhance physical quality, but most of them overdraw life''s potential and are counterproductive.


    After use, they would have serious side effects; at best, one''s strength would be hard to improve further, and at worst, it could lead to a shortened lifespan.


    Decades ago, when martial arts college entrance exams first began, many students would use these in secret, hoping to get into a good university.


    Latterly, as the rules of the martial arts college entrance exams were refined, these types of medicines and fluids have been listed as forbidden and cannot be produced and used at will.


    Before the college entrance exam, various devices would be used to perform comprehensive checks on the students.


    "Normal practice leading to such progress? Very good!" Xu Bo revealed a rare smile. "I have high hopes for you becoming a martial artist."


    "High hopes for me?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Since the other party took over as the homeroom teacher, he did indeed receive a lot of attention.


    But it was limited to the attention a teacher gives to a good student.


    Having high hopes for him becoming a martial artist? This was the first time Teacher Xu had said so.


    Becoming a martial artist was very challenging!


    "Teacher, I still haven''t awakened my Martial Spirit," Li Yuan couldn''t help saying.


    "Is Spiritual Awakening that important?" Xu Bo asked in return.


    Li Yuan was puzzled. Was it not important?


    "It is very important," Xu Bo said on his own. "But in a certain sense, it''s also not important."


    Li Yuan''s confusion intensified.


    "What is Martial Spirit? Essentially, it is the compatibility with the Seven High-Rank Cultivation Methods," Xu Bo explained.


    "Only with a compatibility over ninety percent can one start practicing high-rank cultivation methods in advance, which can significantly increase the efficiency of enhancing physical quality," Xu Bo continued. "This would greatly increase the chances of becoming a powerful martial artist."


    "This is why the Seven Star Alliance puts such great importance on Martial Spirit."


    "Including the five prestigious national schools, they all prefer students who have awakened their Martial Spirit for the same reason."


    "After all, practicing high-rank cultivation methods earlier increases the likelihood of reaching Entry Rank as a martial artist, and the younger one becomes a martial artist, the greater the hope of achieving great success."


    Li Yuan nodded without a word.


    When young, vitality is robust, making martial arts cultivation breakthroughs easier.


    "Martial arts cultivation is the miraculous evolution of life," Xu Bo said, his eyes gleaming. "In reality, we humans still know very little about life cultivation, whether it''s the Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods or the Seven High-Rank Cultivation Methods... all of them have been gradually summed up by the numerous high-rank martial artists of the Seven Star Alliance over hundreds of years."


    "More than eighty years ago, during the first martial arts college entrance exam, the Seven Star Alliance only published three high-rank cultivation methods."


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    He was not very clear about much of the information that Teacher Xu spoke of before.


    "All cultivation methods aim to drive life evolution, to continuously improve our physical quality," Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan. "And you, merely practicing the basic cultivation methods without any precious resources, are progressing faster in improving your physical quality than most students in the elite class."


    "What does this imply?"


    "Your true talent may be very high," Xu Bo sighed lightly. "It''s just that you don''t fit any of the Seven High-Rank Cultivation Methods."

 Chapter 8: 6: The Den of Swallowing Metal

    "Could it be that my talent is very high?" Li Yuan''s pupils contracted slightly.


    He couldn''t help but think of the note on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace data panel: "Contains some kind of high-rank Spiritual Nature yet to awaken."


    Li Yuan trusted the Divine Palace panel''s detection; it had never been wrong over the past year.


    It should be more reliable than Teacher Xu''s estimate.


    The information Teacher Xu revealed today also gave Li Yuan more to ponder.


    Previously, although Li Yuan had searched multiple times on the virtual network, he couldn''t find much information due to insufficient permissions.


    "My talent is high? Having the Mind Spirit Divine Palace may also be a kind of talent," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Over the past hundred years, as many Cultivation Methods have gradually become available, and with the development of technology, a large number of Martial Artists have been born into human civilization.


    And those exceptional Martial Artists who could soar into the sky and survive nuclear explosions, which one of them didn''t have a growth journey filled with legends?


    Li Yuan didn''t believe that his Mind Spirit Divine Palace would be an exception.


    "Teacher, what should I do?" Li Yuan asked proactively.


    He was smart; given that Teacher Xu had called him over, he surely intended to do more than encourage him.


    "Persevere," Xu Bo advised, looking at Li Yuan. He originally wanted to say "proceed step by step," but he changed it at the last moment.


    Seeing Li Yuan''s surprised expression, Xu Bo continued, "Your progress is already very fast, and there''s no need to be too anxious about the Martial Spirit not awakening yet. With your results, it''s easy to get into Martial Arts University."


    "If you practice normally, in at most two to three years your Physical Quality should be able to reach level 10.0."


    "Once you become an Entry Rank Martial Artist, High Rank Cultivation Methods will no longer be your restraint."


    "Who knows, in the future you might even create a set of High Rank Cultivation Methods unique to yourself," Xu Bo said with a smile.


    "Create Cultivation Methods?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking, "Can I?"


    "Haha, what''s this about being able or not?" Teacher Xu laughed. "How old are you? When you''re young, you have endless possibilities."


    "Even the founders of the three great Martial Halls, who could have known about their achievements when they were young?" Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with a smile. "The founders of the three great Martial Halls are far-fetched, but do you not even have the ambition to surpass me?"


    "My Physical Quality is only level 19," he added.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    Ever since Xu Bo became his Martial Arts class''s homeroom teacher, Li Yuan had always seen him as a target to strive for.


    Now, knowing his strength, a Physical Quality that reached as high as level 19, it was no wonder he was a First Class Martial Arts Teacher.


    "Let''s talk about something more practical," Xu Bo said to Li Yuan, "Although you haven''t awakened your Martial Spirit, your Physical Quality and Martial Arts Skills are quite good. Combining that with your family situation... I will apply to the school for a Third Class scholarship for you."


    "A Third Class scholarship?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    Martial Arts Cultivation consumes a lot of resources.


    Therefore, for students with excellent Martial Arts results, the country provides various awards and subsidies starting from the first year of high school.


    As a provincial key high school, Guan Mountain District Number One High School receives more state funding than ordinary high schools.


    For each large-scale standardized test, students who rank within the top hundred in Martial Arts receive additional rewards.


    The top fifty get a reward of two thousand Blue Star Coins.


    The top thirty get a reward of five thousand Blue Star Coins.


    The top twenty receive on top of the previous reward two Basic Lifeblood Elixir portions.


    The top ten in the grade will, on top of the top twenty''s basis, also be allocated a separate Martial Arts Cultivation Room.


    These are examination rewards.


    Scholarships are even more special; they are allocated based on academic results in combination with family circumstances and also require a teacher''s recommendation to have a chance of being granted.


    Those who receive a scholarship are few.


    "You have made considerable progress, but after all your Martial Arts results are only within the top thirty of the grade. If you want to apply for a Second Class scholarship or higher, it''s quite difficult," Xu Bo said. "But there is still hope for a Third Class scholarship. Of course, even if the application is successful, the money isn''t much, just twenty thousand; don''t think it''s too little."


    "Teacher, you''re too kind," Li Yuan felt immensely grateful in his heart.


    Twenty thousand? That''s equal to two months of his aunt''s salary.


    All the scholarships he had received since starting high school, when added up, didn''t even amount to twenty thousand.


    "Is there anything I can do for you, Teacher?" Li Yuan followed up with another question.


    "There''s nothing you need to do, just earnestly cultivate and get good grades," Xu Bo waved his hand, "Go have your meal. When the application goes through, I will let you know."


    "Yes," Li Yuan replied as he left, closing the door behind him as he exited.


    He watched Li Yuan leave.


    "This kid, does he still think I want some kind of reward?" Xu Bo shook his head with a laugh.


    Suddenly his brows furrowed slightly.


    This man, who was as tough as an iron tower, now showed a fleeting expression of pain.


    "Time for medicine again?" Xu Bo suppressed the pain and walked towards the therapy room.


    ... S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon leaving the office building.


    "Good," Li Yuan couldn''t help but clench his fist, struggling to contain his joy.


    Before entering the office, he had guessed it was something good.


    But he hadn''t expected it to be this significant.


    "Did Teacher Xu not tell me these things before because, although my past grades were not bad, he didn''t think they were outstanding enough?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "Was my performance today sufficient?"


    Li Yuan had read many books.


    In those stories, many seniors liked to promote their juniors.


    But the precondition was also that the juniors were worth promoting.


    "If one doesn''t try hard enough, or isn''t talented enough, then even if opportunities come by, they will be missed," Li Yuan reminded himself.


    "Should I send a message in the family group?" Just as the thought appeared in Li Yuan''s mind, he immediately suppressed it.


    Phew!


    A gust of wind blew by, helping Li Yuan to calm down further.


    "No rush," he told himself.


    "Teacher Xu is a First Class teacher, but he''s not part of the school management. Even if it goes through, it probably will take some time," Li Yuan reasoned in his mind. "And if it doesn''t happen, it would just be a false hope."


    "I''ll wait until the scholarship is really granted before I tell my uncle and aunt," he decided.


    "Yes, I shouldn''t tell the other students either," Li Yuan had thought it through. "Teacher Xu called for me alone and had Wan Xiao leave first; he probably doesn''t want others to know."


    "If the school wants to publicize it, I''ll wait for the school to announce it in the future."


    All his experiences up to this point, combined with the books he had read, made Li Yuan understand the saying, "Success is achieved in secrecy, while failure is caused by loose talk."


    Don''t boast about things that haven''t happened yet.


    "First, let''s get something to eat," Li Yuan regained his composure and ran towards the cafeteria.


    ...


    The Guan Mountain District''s First High School has over six thousand students, so the cafeteria is quite large.


    Li Yuan had just entered the cafeteria.


    "Brother Yuan, over here." Zhou Qi, who was squatting in the distance, called out, sitting with Wan Xiao, Yan Zhou, and over a dozen other boys, occupying two large tables and eating.


    Seeing this, Li Yuan walked over with a smile.


    The boys in his class really liked to gather and eat together.


    "Brother Yuan, here are your two nutrition meals," Zhou Qi said while eating, pushing two specially prepared meal boxes in front of Li Yuan.


    "Who swiped their card? Was it Yan Zhou?" Li Yuan asked with a smile as he sat down to eat.


    "I told you I was paying you back," Yan Zhou said with a smile.


    "The breakfasts I brought you a few times were just hot dry noodles, eggs, and soy milk, all together less than fifty coins," Li Yuan shook his head, "These two nutrition meals alone cost one hundred and fifty."


    There was a big difference in the price of meals among all the boys present.


    For ordinary meals with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, or three meat and two vegetables, a meal costs less than twenty coins.


    Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou were eating this kind of meal.


    Because they were going to attend cultural classes in the evening, they wouldn''t have any intense physical activity, and their energy consumption would be low...


    But for someone like Li Yuan, who still needed to undergo high-intensity martial arts cultivation in the evening, ordinary meals wouldn''t suffice. Over time, this would lead to a deficiency in his body''s vitality.


    He must eat the specially prepared nutrition meals from the cafeteria, which were much more expensive.


    One meal cost seventy-five Blue Star coins, and Li Yuan needed two of them.


    To be precise, Li Yuan''s normal three meals a day would end up costing nearly three hundred coins per day.


    At least eight thousand Blue Star coins a month.


    And that was still not enough to support Li Yuan''s normal cultivation; he occasionally had to consume various expensive vitality potions and supplements.


    If you include physiotherapy, his monthly expenses were a startling number.


    This was also because Li Yuan was a student and could always cultivate in the school''s martial arts classroom, where various training equipment like cold weapons, sandbags, and areas for practicing spear technique were well-equipped.


    The effects couldn''t compare to a private martial arts cultivation room, but the advantage of the school''s martial arts classroom was that it was free.


    If one were to go to a formal martial hall in society? The rent was charged by the hour, and ordinary families simply couldn''t afford it.


    The martial path is a gold-swallowing beast; it''s not just a saying.


    This was also the reason Li Yuan longed to be admitted to one of the top five prestigious schools.


    Because supporting his martial arts cultivation had already become very difficult for his uncle and aunt to continue.


    ...


    Leaving the cafeteria.


    "Brother Yuan, we''re heading off to the academic building, see you tomorrow," Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou said to Li Yuan.


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded.


    In this era, starting from freshman year, students would study academic courses in the morning and engage in martial arts cultivation in the afternoon.


    In the evening? It was up to the students to choose, depending on the path they wanted to take.


    There are only twenty-nine Martial Arts Universities across Xia Country.


    While there are more than a thousand cultural universities nationwide.


    If one applies for Martial Arts University, their academic scores are converted and account for 10% of the total.


    If one chooses the academic course route, martial arts scores are converted and account for 30% of the total score.


    Though the decision to pursue the martial path or the academic path is made at the time of choosing preferences, the vast majority of students start leaning towards one since their freshman year.


    Li Yuan returned to the martial arts classroom.


    Glancing around, he saw that there were less than ten people left in the classroom, which was empty.


    Most of the students from Class 3 (2) were focused on academic courses, which was the choice of the vast majority of students.


    "Getting into Martial Arts University is indeed difficult," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Every year, there were millions of students taking the college entrance exam in Jiangbei Province.


    The only Martial Arts University in Jiangbei, ''Jiangbei Martial Arts University'', admits no more than ten thousand students each year, making up less than 1% of all applicants.


    As a key school in the province, the Guan Mountain District''s First High School also rarely sees its students exceed a hundred admissions to Martial Arts Universities each year.


    The sky was not yet dark.


    Most of the ten or so people in the classroom were idly chatting with each other.


    The evening martial arts practice was unsupervised by teachers; it relied entirely on self-discipline.


    "Li Tianyou." Li Yuan''s gaze flicked towards a figure in the corner of the classroom.


    The boy was about 1.8 meters tall, with a somewhat thin face, wearing a martial outfit, silent, and seriously practicing the Basic Cultivation Method.


    He wasn''t disturbed at all by the chatter of others.


    Seeing the sweat dripping from his forehead, it was evident that he had been cultivating for a while.


    "He''s such a studious one!" Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "Deserving of being the top studious person in the class."


    Without disturbing the others,


    Li Yuan took out his spear from his weapon locker, chose an open spot in the classroom, and began practicing his spear technique.


    Why not practice the Basic Cultivation Method?


    Because Li Yuan would get up at around 3 am every day to come to the school and practice the Basic Cultivation Method alone in the empty martial arts classroom for more than two hours.


    Then, shortly before 6 am, he''d go to the cafeteria for breakfast, then to the academic classroom for self-study.


    In the afternoon, he''d practice the Cultivation Methods for two hours with everyone else.


    Every day''s cultivation should be divided into two to three sessions, lasting four hours for optimal results; this has been verified by numerous martial arts experts through repeated experiments.


    Life evolution and the tempering, recovery, and growth of the body and bones take time.


    Too much can be as bad as not enough.


    With the remaining time, Li Yuan was able to delve into his spear technique and movement technique.


    Two hours later,


    The school bell echoed through the campus, and the students in the classroom had already left one by one. Aside from Li Yuan, who was still practicing his spear technique, the only other person left was Li Tianyou, still cultivating his sword technique.


    Suddenly,


    In Li Yuan''s field of vision, a message popped up that only he could see.


    [Your spear technique realm has increased from Third Stage 36% to Third Stage 37%.]

 Chapter 9: 7 The Home at Midnight (Seeking Monthly Tickets for Binge Reading)

    "Improved to 37%?"


    "I haven''t even noticeably felt it myself, yet the Divine Palace panel has already sensed it with precision," Li Yuan''s eyes gleamed faintly.


    The Divine Palace panel couldn''t directly enhance Li Yuan''s martial arts cultivation.


    But its greatest benefit was to reflect Li Yuan''s effort and progress in a numerical form, like a progress bar.


    Absolutely positive feedback.


    No one doesn''t want to succeed, it''s just that many people worry that their efforts won''t yield results.


    With the Divine Palace panel, being able to clearly see one''s own progress made Li Yuan''s motivation to cultivate even greater.


    Cultivating was very exhausting.


    "But the rewards of cultivation are great," Li Yuan suddenly exerted himself, and the spear in his hand became a blur as he thrust it forward fiercely.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"


    Faint, ear-piercing shrieks exploded, forming streaks of blurred spear shadows in the air.


    "The practice of martial arts, trying over and over to break the limits of life, is indeed thrilling," Li Yuan suddenly retracted his spear, revealing a trace of a smile.


    Over a hundred years ago, before the cultivation methods were popularized and traditional martial arts prevailed, even ordinary people would get addicted to fitness.


    What more for high-level martial cultivation?


    Li Yuan, in particular, relished the process of his body growing stronger.


    It was exhausting, but very cool. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Li Yuan, your spear technique is really amazing," an earnest voice of admiration suddenly sounded.


    Li Yuan turned his head and smiled, "Tianyou, your sword technique isn''t bad either. I remember you had a martial arts skills score of 312 today."


    Li Tianyou, standing to the side, had a thin face, but bright eyes.


    "I can''t catch up to you," Li Tianyou said with a smile, standing tall.


    "It''s nine o''clock, everyone else has left." Li Yuan''s gaze swept around: "Aren''t you going home?"


    The Ministry of Education had stipulated that early self-study began at seven in the morning, and evening self-study ended at nine.


    Six days of classes a week.


    Lower-level cities and counties might be more competitive, but, as a key high school in the provincial capital, it was natural to strictly enforce the schedule.


    "I''ll practice a bit more," said Li Tianyou.


    "Alright," Li Yuan smiled, "I''ll head back first."


    "Mm-hmm," Li Tianyou nodded.


    Li Yuan placed the spear back in the weapons cabinet and walked out of the classroom.


    Watching Li Yuan leave,


    the smile on Li Tianyou''s face vanished as he muttered to himself, "Why isn''t my sword technique as formidable as Li Yuan''s spear technique?"


    "If only I could awaken the Martial Spirit, that would be great."


    In Senior 3 (2) Class, Li Tianyou''s martial arts grades were consistently in the top five, occasionally even third, but there was a definite gap between him and Wan Xiao, let alone compared to Li Yuan.


    Shaking his head to dispel the multitude of distracting thoughts, Li Tianyou picked up his long sword and continued to earnestly practice his sword technique.


    Outside, the night lingered long.


    Most classrooms had already turned off their lights.


    Only this martial arts classroom remained lit, with Li Tianyou''s slim figure looking somewhat lonely in this moment.


    ...


    Under the night sky, on Luoyu Street,


    Li Yuan, having practiced all day and his clothes soaked with sweat, finally boarded the driverless ''517'' trolley.


    There were very few people on the bus.


    In an era of a highly developed virtual network and abundant material resources, most people''s work is completed online.


    Even those with offline jobs, most laborers had finished their day and were home.


    "...In late August, national authorities and the Starry Sky Martial Hall''s Xia Country branch conducted a joint operation, successfully eliminating a group of Star Realm aquatic races in the Jiangbei Province Xiang River basin, but some did escape, please residents along the river stay alert..."


    "Next, here''s coverage on the ongoing wars in the Northern Border Province''s Second Level Star Realm ''Rob Sea'' and the ''Aust Moon Sea'' of the ''Firefly'' Second Level Star Realm..."


    The electronic display above the driverless trolley continuously broadcast the latest news.


    Li Yuan sat on a single seat, pushed open the window, and the wind blew in through the window, looking at the streetscapes passing by outside.


    Very comfortable!


    "Starry sky and love should always advance tirelessly, Star Sea World reminds you that Spring Eye Station is upon us," suddenly, the stop-arrival announcement sounded, pulling Li Yuan''s thoughts back to reality.


    "Star Sea World sure advertises a lot," Li Yuan shook his head secretly.


    He stepped off the bus.


    A few meters away was the entrance to Li Yuan''s residential community¡ªthe Wanhua Platinum Mansion.


    The community''s name sounded grand, but the buildings were quite ordinary, even somewhat run-down compared with the neighboring new community ''Xiongchu World.''


    "Welcome home, owner," a gentle female voice sounded.


    Li Yuan entered the community after facial recognition.


    There wasn''t even a security guard at the entrance to the community, just two intelligent robots standing off in the distance.


    Within the community, all buildings were modest 11-story high-rises.


    Due to the constant threat of war over the past decades, the construction of super-tall buildings has been disallowed for years, with most structures around ten stories high and no taller than eighteen stories.


    Although over twenty years old, the Wanhua Platinum Mansion was still relatively well-maintained.


    Li Yuan''s home was in building two, unit two.


    "Little Yuan, classes are over?" An elderly couple was jogging slowly along the green belt of the community.


    "Yes, Granny Sun, you''re exercising again huh?" Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    Although this was a commercial district, most people who bought homes here years ago were employees of the same state-owned enterprise, enjoying a discounted price.


    So, in some sense, this neighborhood could be considered a welfare housing community provided by the company.


    With so many years passed,


    many residents in the community knew each other well.


    "Granny Sun and her husband are almost ninety years old, but they''re still strong and even haven''t purchased a home robot," Li Yuan thought to himself. "According to the books, over a hundred years ago, the average lifespan was only seventy or eighty years."


    Thanks to the widespread practice of cultivation methods, except for accidental deaths, the average lifespan of people on Blue Star had surpassed one hundred years, with the average lifespan in Xia Country being even closer to one hundred and ten years.


    For those who became Entry Rank Martial Artists, their lifespan was even more astounding.


    Li Yuan had just reached the foot of his building.


    "Brother?" A surprised young girl''s voice rang out from not far off.


    "Bro~" Another young boy''s voice sounded.


    Thump~thump~thump~ Two youngsters around the age of twelve or thirteen, both dressed in loose martial arts uniforms, jogged over from a shadowy area not far away.


    "Qian Qian, Muhua," Li Yuan smiled. "Why haven''t you gone home yet?"


    The girl was pretty and lively, with fair skin and bright eyes.


    The boy had a youthful face, but he was almost as tall as Li Yuan and half a head taller than the girl.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua.


    They were indeed the fourteen-year-old twin son and daughter of Li Yuan''s uncle and aunt, both in their second year of junior high.


    "Brother, we just came back from the Martial Arts Room," Li Qianqian said cheerfully, clinging to Li Yuan''s arm and swinging it.


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, "How was it?"


    Each neighborhood has a public sports hall, as mandated by the government. Funded by the state, managed and operated by property management companies, it is free for residents to use.


    "Not so good, there were too many people, not much space to practice," Li Muhua shook his head.


    "At your age, you should still focus on building a foundation, practice more standing poles, and contemplate the cultivation methods," Li Yuan advised. "Especially you, Muhua. You''ve already awakened your Martial Spirit; you should be even less hasty in your practice."


    Li Muhua had a high martial arts talent.


    Li Qianqian''s talent was much less, but her academic performance was very good.


    "Mhm," Li Muhua nodded, then as if he recalled something, he said, "Brother, I remember today was the day your school tested for Martial Spirit, right?"


    Li Qianqian also looked at Li Yuan.


    "No success," Li Yuan said indifferently, not seeming to care too much.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua exchanged glances.


    "Brother, don''t be discouraged. Even without a Martial Spirit, you can still get into Martial Arts University," Li Qianqian giggled. "Let''s go home first, Mom was just messaging me, asking when we would be back."


    "Brother, go get the package from the property management,"


    Li Qianqian tugged at Li Yuan''s sleeve, heading towards the elevator.


    "Sis, I got the package last time, it''s your turn this time," Li Muhua said helplessly.


    "Good little brother¡ª."


    "Qian Qian, go with Muhua," Li Yuan patted Li Qianqian''s head.


    "Brother!!"


    ¡­


    "Click~" The door opened.


    "Mom, brother came back with us," Li Qianqian called out even before entering the door.


    "Is everyone back?"


    A voice also came from inside the house.


    Li Yuan followed his younger siblings into the house, entering last after scanning the room, which was not small.


    Four bedrooms and a living room, spanning a hundred and thirty square meters.


    It was clearly visible that various decorations were somewhat outdated.


    "Uncle, Auntie," Li Yuan saw his uncle and aunt coming out of the bedroom. The auntie was wearing a long-sleeved nightgown, her face without makeup.


    The uncle was somewhat overweight, his skin was dark, but his clothes were very neat, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, long pants, and sports shoes meant for going out.


    "Ah Yuan," the auntie smiled when she saw Li Yuan.


    "Qian Qian, go back to your room and wash up. Your dad and I need to speak with your brother," the auntie instructed.


    "Okay."


    "Brother, don''t open my package, I want to open it myself later," Li Qianqian dragged Li Muhua, dropping off the package and heading into her room.


    In the living room,


    only Li Yuan and his uncle and auntie remained.


    "Uncle, another business trip?" Li Yuan asked quietly, having noticed the big suitcase in the living room.


    The uncle worked for a state-owned enterprise in civil engineering construction and was constantly traveling across the country, so business trips were a normal part of life.


    "Yes, I just got the notice this afternoon," the uncle nodded.


    "Where to? Why the rush?" Li Yuan inquired.


    A flicker of hesitation crossed the auntie''s face.


    "What''s there to hide? Yuan is all grown up now," the uncle laughed, then looked at Li Yuan. "I''m going to the Northern Border."


    "Such a rush to go, and to the Northern Border again," Li Yuan was initially surprised, then seemed to realize something, his expression growing tense. "To the Second Level Star Realm ''Rob Sea''?"

 Chapter 10: 8 Some things, someone always has to do

    ```


    "You saw the news too?" Uncle said.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    The Seven Great Planets are far apart from each other, with numerous Star Realms appearing on each planet.


    The number of Star Realms on Blue Star is considered low compared to the other Seven Great Planets.


    A Star Realm can lead to the deep reaches of the starry sea and foreign civilizations; it is the frontline of the war between human civilization and foreign domains.


    Wars are common there.


    The highest level Star Realm within the borders of Xia Country is the ''Rob Sea Star Realm'' in the Northern Border Province, a Second Level Star Realm that is garrisoned by a large military force all year round.


    In the past few days at school, Li Yuan heard that war had broken out in the Rob Sea Star Realm, but he was not clear about the severity.


    Now it seems it''s quite dire.


    "The Rob Sea war broke out quite suddenly, and headquarters has ordered us to go and support the construction," Uncle said with a smile, appearing very relaxed.


    "We are leaving tonight, on the high-speed train at three in the morning," Auntie said from the side, her eyes filled with worry.


    Li Yuan looked at his uncle with similar concern.


    In Li Yuan''s memory, the impression of his parents is now very vague, since they passed away when he was only two or three years old.


    Li Yuan was raised by his uncle and aunt, who treated him as their own child,


    In Li Yuan''s eyes, his uncle and aunt are equivalent to his parents.


    Uncle, named Li Changzhou, had a decent talent for the Martial Path. He graduated from Jiangbei Martial Arts University and also earned a degree in ''Civil Engineering in Hydraulics & Ocean Engineering.'' After graduation, he worked his way up to middle management in a state-owned enterprise, with quite an impressive salary.


    Auntie, named Chen Hui, is a high school math teacher.


    The couple should have accumulated a considerable estate over the decades. Why then do they still live in an old neighborhood?


    Li Yuan knew it was because of him!


    The expenses of his illness and surgery as a child accumulated to over a million Blue Star Coins; later on, the cost of recuperation, various tonics, health care expenses, and biological medicines were substantial.


    Since middle school, cultivating the Martial Path has also been like a gold-eating cave.


    Take his cousin ''Li Muhua,'' for example; he revealed a Martial Spirit talent surpassing that of Li Yuan in middle school, even awakening it in the first year of junior high.


    But even now, the variety of cultivation resources Li Muhua receives isn''t as much as Li Yuan had back then.


    His uncle and aunt never said anything about it.


    His younger brother and sister also never felt that Li Yuan was taking their resources.


    But Li Yuan himself felt some guilt towards his uncle and aunt and even his siblings.


    This was also an important reason why Li Yuan began to consciously practice the Martial Path fervently starting in middle school.


    He did not want his uncle and aunt''s hopes to turn into nothing; he was determined to achieve something significant.


    Especially after entering high school, he became even more clear about his goals, hoping to repay his uncle and aunt with his own efforts in the future, and to make up for his brother and sister.


    Just after entering his second year of high school, Li Yuan''s physical quality reached the 5.0 level, and he then awakened the miraculous Mind Spirit Divine Palace, which accelerated his Martial Arts Cultivation tremendously.


    "The Mind Spirit Divine Palace is indeed miraculous, but without personal effort, it''s all in vain," Li Yuan realized this after awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Therefore, he dared not slack off even more.


    "Getting into a Martial Arts University."


    "And even to be admitted into one of the top five prestigious schools, ultimately becoming a High Rank Martial Artist." This has always been Li Yuan''s aspiration.


    Not just for himself, but for his family as well.


    When he just learned that his uncle was going to the Rob Sea, Li Yuan''s heart trembled.


    Uncle Li Changzhou spoke lightly of it.


    But Li Yuan, who frequently followed the news, knew that soldiers and Martial Artists defending against the invasion from foreign civilizations across the Star Realms, were the most dangerous.


    Next were the workers engaged in various military defense constructions.


    This trip for Uncle Li Changzhou was essentially as an engineer.


    You should know, powerful Star Realm Creatures are not stopped by ordinary heavy weapons; only some cutting-edge technological weapons or High Rank Martial Artists can handle them.


    It''s very dangerous.


    "If I hadn''t fallen ill back then, or if the expenses for Martial Arts Cultivation weren''t so high, Uncle could have stayed comfortably in the city, maintaining municipal works, instead of opting for an external assignment just for that extra subsidy to his salary," Li Yuan thought, his heart feeling even more unpleasant.


    ...


    "Xiaoyuan, come into the bedroom, I''ll talk with you slowly," Uncle Li Changzhou called Li Yuan into the master bedroom.


    There were two small stools in the master bedroom, and Li Yuan sat down.


    Uncle sat on the edge of the bed.


    "Clang~" Auntie gently closed the door. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Changzhou''s hair was already somewhat sparse, and though he was a bit overweight, he still exuded an air of scholarly grace.


    ```


    "Originally, your aunt advised me not to tell you, worrying that it might affect your senior year studies," Li Changzhou smiled as he looked at Li Yuan, "but I believe that the sons of the Li family should be able to withstand any pressure."


    Aunt Chen Hui remained silent, sitting beside them.


    "Uncle, go on," Li Yuan said softly.


    "According to the information I received, several entry and exit points of the Rob Sea defense system have been severely damaged. The casualties of the military and the Starry Sky Martial Hall are significant," Li Changzhou said indifferently, "This attack was held back, but if attacked again, there''s a risk of a complete breach."


    Li Yuan held his breath¡ªA complete breach?


    The entrances and exits to the Star Realm are critical gates for human civilization to resist invasions.


    If breached, it would be an absolute disaster.


    Years ago, his parents died in a Star Realm disaster.


    "There''s a risk of death for me this time," Li Changzhou looked calmly at Li Yuan, "In war, where is there no death?"


    "Uncle, is there no way for you to avoid going?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Headquarters has requested our presence, but if one truly wishes not to go, there are ways, after all, the country has only issued a level three alert," Li Changzhou laughed.


    Li Yuan listened closely.


    Xia Country had divided its wartime danger response into three alert levels, with level three being the lowest and level one the highest.


    Once a level one alert is activated, it means the entire country will enter a state of war, with a comprehensive mobilization: all citizens and all resources must be ready to obey conscription orders.


    In the past hundred years, Xia Country has only activated level one alert once, in the year 2028.


    Above level one alert is the "Civilization Alert," which can only be issued by the joint decision of the highest council of the Seven Star Alliance and the three major Martial Halls.


    Once issued, it signifies that at least one human planet has fallen into a life or death situation, needing full support from other planets.


    In the centuries since the Alliance was formed, a Civilization Alert has been activated only once.


    However, even the lowest "level three alert," once issued, signifies a significant consumption of resources and a high number of casualties.


    "Little Yuan, I can choose not to go," Uncle Li Changzhou said with a smile, "But if I don''t, someone else will have to take my place."


    "Someone has to be a part of this war, don''t they?"


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    "Am I the only one capable? Such a large company, and it can''t do without me?" Aunt Chen Hui suddenly shouted, her eyes faintly red with emotion.


    Li Changzhou had already discussed this with her earlier.


    And in the living room, fearing that Li Qianqian and Li Muhua would notice something amiss, she had held back, showing nothing.


    But now, hearing Li Changzhou''s words, she finally couldn''t hold back and vented out.


    Li Changzhou was taken aback for a moment, then silently reached out to gently hold his wife Chen Hui''s waist, comforting her.


    Chen Hui bowed her head, her eyes red-rimmed, and said no more.


    After a moment.


    "Little Yuan, don''t worry too much," Li Changzhou said after comforting his wife, then turned to Li Yuan, "After all, I''m not going to be fighting hand-to-hand like other martial artists; it''s not that dangerous."


    "Besides, I am at least an Entry Rank martial artist and have some self-protective strength," Li Changzhou said with a smile.


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    His uncle had graduated from Martial Arts University, and at his peak, his physical quality surpassed level 12, but after years of working, he was probably at level 10 or 11 now, and many of his combat skills were likely rusty.


    Martial Path is not about immortality; it requires daily diligent practice.


    Suddenly.


    "Beep!" Li Yuan instantly felt a vibration at his wrist and subconsciously looked at it.


    "Your account ending in 1486 has received 56,000.00 Blue Star Coins... Transferred to the account ending with... Balance of 58,324.12 Blue Star Coins," The display clearly showed a line of text.


    "Uncle?" Li Yuan was startled.


    He recognized at a glance that the transferring account ended with his uncle Li Changzhou''s number.


    "That''s your living expenses for September and October."


    "With me gone to the Northern Border Province, the network may not be smooth. I''ve sent it all to you today, manage it well," Li Changzhou laughed, "Before, I took you to buy basic Blood Qi Medicinal Liquid from Uncle Zhong; you should have some experience."


    "I''ve made arrangements with your Uncle Zhong."


    "When you have time over the weekend, go to the Martial Hall and see him," Li Changzhou said, "Your aunt will transfer the living expenses to you in the future."


    "Aunt," Li Yuan looked towards his aunt.


    "Listen to your uncle," Chen Hui''s mood had somewhat stabilized, her voice cooling down again, "Take the money, and don''t worry about the family."


    Li Yuan was silent, asking no further.


    Right now, his cultivation indeed required money.


    "By the way."


    "Have you thought about the direction of your college entrance exam?" Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan.

 Chapter 11: 9 Qi and Blood Medicines

    ```


    Logically, with the pressure of being a senior in high school already immense, it wouldn''t be appropriate to ask such a sensitive question now.


    Besides, there were still nine months left until the college entrance exams.


    It was only because Li Changzhou was about to travel far away, and he believed Li Yuan wouldn''t be affected, that he inquired.


    Auntie Chen Hui couldn''t help but look towards Li Yuan, as she''d always taken care of his daily life and was naturally concerned.


    "College entrance preferences?" Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle and auntie, I still plan to become a full-time martial artist. My first goal is the nation''s five major Martial Path colleges."


    "If I don''t get admitted, then I''ll strive to enter the ''Warrior Class'' at Jiangbei Martial Arts University."


    A full-time martial artist?


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui exchanged a glance, a hint of worry passing between them.


    Not all graduates from Martial Arts University necessarily end up as full-time martial artists.


    Like Li Changzhou, who attended Martial Arts University with decent results, but eventually also majored in other subjects.


    The advantages of a martial artist over ordinary people are comprehensive; even in everyday work, a martial artist''s energy and speed of thought are far superior, increasing the likelihood of making greater achievements.


    However, full-time martial artists, as the name implies, devote themselves entirely to the Martial Path, seeking to go further in it, but it is far more dangerous.


    Because as martial artists train further, advancement often requires enduring various life and death struggles...


    "Xiao Yuan, can''t you take up another major simultaneously? After graduating, becoming a civil servant or a martial arts teacher isn''t that good," Chen Hui couldn''t help saying.


    In her eyes, there was no difference between Li Yuan and Li Muhua.


    She saw herself like a mother, most worried about Li Yuan''s safety.


    To her mind, becoming a civil servant or a martial arts teacher was among the best jobs.


    "A full-time martial artist?" Li Changzhou didn''t argue, but instead he pondered and asked, "Can you get admitted to one of the five prestigious Martial Path colleges? Doesn''t your school only manage a few admissions a year, and have you awakened to Martial Spirit today?"


    Li Changzhou was very aware of the difficulty in being admitted to any of the five prestigious Martial Path colleges.


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University admits ten thousand students a year in Jiangbei Province.


    Yet the five major Martial Path colleges combined only admit about ten thousand students nationwide each year.


    In Jiangbei Province, historically they''ve only admitted a few hundred students per year.


    "I haven''t awakened." Li Yuan shook his head.


    "You haven''t awakened, then you..." Li Changzhou frowned.


    "But in today''s school test, my physical quality was grade 6.5." Li Yuan said, "And my Martial Arts Skills score was over 360 points."


    Li Changzhou''s eyes brightened, and he couldn''t hide the excitement on his face.


    He understood the significance of what Li Yuan was saying.


    "Really?" Chen Hui was also quite surprised.


    She remembered that although Li Yuan''s scores were also excellent at the end of the previous semester, they seemed not nearly as high as now.


    Especially the physical quality, which had improved by 0.5 grades so suddenly? It was quite astonishing.


    "Xu Bo teacher personally conducted the assessment, and the Martial Arts Skills score is based on college entrance examination standards," Li Yuan added.


    Xu Bo''s assessment?


    Li Changzhou nodded slightly.


    He knew Xu Bo, who even in the entire Guan Mountain District, had some fame.


    Previously, Li Changzhou had heard that Xu Bo became Li Yuan''s teacher in charge of the martial artist class and was very pleased, believing Li Yuan had found a good teacher.


    "Good!"


    "Xiao Yuan, if you continue like this, not to mention getting into one of the top five colleges, there''s a great chance to get into the ''Warrior Class'' at Jiangbei University," Li Changzhou smiled and said, it was the best news he''d heard all day.


    Li Yuan looked at his uncle and aunt, sighing slightly in his heart.


    He had originally planned to surprise them during the January mock tests.


    But now, with his uncle about to travel, Li Yuan thought it over and still wanted his uncle to have some peace of mind.


    For parents, the greatest concern is the safety of their children, followed by their children''s futures.


    "We''re not in a rush to decide on college entrance preferences or whether to become a full-time martial artist; we''ll wait until you get into Martial Arts University and decide in college," Li Changzhou advised, "For now, just focus on working hard."


    "I understand," Li Yuan nodded vigorously.


    "My trip to the Northern Border, for now, just you be aware of it," Li Changzhou added, "After I''m gone, when you have time, help your aunt take good care of your younger siblings... Alright, you''ve had a long day, go back to your room and rest."


    "Hmm." Li Yuan pondered for a moment but in the end didn''t mention the matters of the Third Class scholarship.


    He got up and left the master bedroom.


    The door closed.


    "Old Li," Chen Hui turned to Li Changzhou, with a hint of anger in her tone, "just now, were you supporting Xiao Yuan in becoming a full-time martial artist?"


    She was indeed angry.


    "Didn''t you hear his scores?" Li Changzhou shook his head, "A Martial Arts Skills score exceeding 360 points, with such a rate of progress... I remember our eldest brother''s Martial Arts Skills score during his college entrance exams was not even this high."


    "You still remember your elder brother." Chen Hui gritted her teeth, "Our elder brother and his wife, back then to save us..."


    "Enough," Li Changzhou frowned.


    "You don''t want me to talk, but I have to," Chen Hui suddenly stood up, staring at her husband, her eyes slightly red, "Our elder brother and sister-in-law helped us so much, and left only Xiao Yuan behind. Don''t you know how dangerous it is to be a full-time martial artist?"


    "How many of your former classmates who chose the path of a full-time martial artist are still alive?"


    "I know what you mean," Li Changzhou looked at his wife and sighed softly, pulling her down to sit.


    "But the child is grown up and has his own will."


    "We can only advise, not force," Li Changzhou said, "After I leave, you can try to persuade him slowly."


    "Besides, the path of a full-time martial artist is not easy to walk."


    "How many students admitted to Martial Arts University don''t aspire to become full-time martial artists? But in the end, very few choose that path."


    "Once he enters university and understands there are always greater talents out there, without us needing to urge him, he will come to his senses," Li Changzhou said.


    Chen Hui finally nodded reluctantly.


    "Wife, keep me company for a bit longer," Li Changzhou pulled his wife into his embrace.


    Chen Hui calmed down, resting against her husband''s chest.


    Time passed.


    Approaching midnight.


    "The kids must all be asleep by now," Li Changzhou finally stood up, whispered, "Wife, I have to go now, or I''ll miss the high-speed rail."


    ```


    "By the time I get to the Northern Border, the government-promised subsidy of five hundred thousand will come through, and then I''ll transfer it to you."


    "The family... I''ll leave it in your hands."


    ...


    Inside Li Yuan''s room.


    The lights were out, with only the faint streetlamp light and moonlight streaming in through the window.


    In the room of less than twenty square meters, besides two wardrobes, there was a miniature home virtual network capsule occupying about two square meters.


    The rest of the area was empty.


    One side of Li Yuan''s wardrobe concealed a Murphy bed designed to be foldable.


    The purpose was to save space, making it convenient for him to practice simple exercises at home.


    However, ever since awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace in his sophomore year, Li Yuan seldom used the Murphy bed, mostly sitting directly on the wooden floor.


    Today was no exception.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan, seated on the floor, perked his ears slightly.


    His strong physical quality gave him hearing beyond that of ordinary people, coupled with the profound silence at night, he was sensitive to the slightest sounds.


    "Uncle is leaving?"


    Li Yuan heard the faint sound of the door closing, and like a cat, he got up without making a sound.


    He approached the window.


    Half a minute later, Li Yuan saw his uncle, Li Changzhou, carrying his suitcase, hurriedly walking out the apartment door.


    After taking a few steps, Li Changzhou paused, looked back at the building upstairs, and then without lingering any further, disappeared around the corner of the street.


    Li Yuan stood by the window for a long time.


    "Uncle, are you truly willing to go to the Northern Border?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    That one phrase "Someone has to go" from his uncle had greatly moved him.


    From a young age, his uncle had been full of patriotism and had always been guiding Li Yuan.


    Yet, in Li Yuan''s view, the situation in the Northern Border didn''t seem to warrant such a step yet.


    "Uncle is going, not just because of the nation''s call, but perhaps also for that very high subsidy." Li Yuan''s eyes dimmed slightly, "Muhua and I are both practicing Martial Path, and the financial pressure on our family is huge."


    He raised his hand.


    Whirr~ Silently, a glimmer of light shot out from Li Yuan''s wrist, forming a transparent holographic projection in front of his chest.


    Displayed was a wealth of war report news regarding the ''Rob Sea Star Realm,'' including news about ''combat subsidies'' and ''support subsidies.''


    "I must get admitted into one of the top five Martial Arts Universities." Li Yuan murmured to himself, his resolve growing stronger.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan went to the wardrobe near the window and gently pressed it; the door, spring-loaded, popped open.


    In front of Li Yuan, besides clothes, was only a specially crafted metal box with the pattern of an endless starry sky shining brightly on it.


    This was the symbol of the ''Starry Sky Martial Hall,'' one of the three great Martial Halls.


    He opened the box.


    "Basic Qi and Blood Elixir." Li Yuan gazed at the two rows of ten bottles of elixir in the box, nine of which were empty, with only one full bottle remaining.


    He took out the last bottle of elixir and held it in his hand.


    "Two thousand per bottle." Li Yuan looked at the exquisite bottle in his hand; its nearly transparent and smooth surface felt slightly cold to the touch.


    This was a specially designed bottle, capable of preserving the effects of the medicine for a long time.


    Through the bottle, one could see the flowing red liquid inside, faintly reddish under the weak moonlight, giving off a sense of vitality and vigor.


    This was the universally used Basic Qi and Blood Elixir.


    Even ordinary meals, including nutritional meals, could only ensure that one''s qi and blood would not be depleted during high-intensity physical training.


    But to improve the speed of physical evolution? That required the use of various precious elixirs and treasures.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, many precious medicines were more effective than the Basic Qi and Blood Elixir, but their prices were far more exorbitant.


    In terms of cost-effectiveness, the Basic Qi and Blood Elixir was among the highest in auxiliary cultivation medicines.


    Yet even so, it cost two thousand Blue Star Coins a bottle.


    Li Yuan needed a bottle every three days for his cultivation.


    Every month, he spent nearly two thousand Blue Star Coins just on Basic Qi and Blood Elixir. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Plus the cost of daily meals.


    Each month, Li Yuan nearly spent close to thirty thousand Blue Star Coins on cultivation supplies.


    Not to mention clothing expenses, tuition fees, and other costs.


    And with Li Qianqian, Li Muhua... One could imagine the financial pressure his uncle and aunt bore.


    "According to the schedule, I have to drink a bottle today." Li Yuan pulled the stopper off with ease.


    A strange scent wafted through the air.


    "Glug~." Li Yuan skillfully tipped his head back and drank the entire bottle of Basic Qi and Blood Elixir.


    Ensuring not a drop was left.


    He then placed the empty bottle back in the box.


    Soon, Li Yuan felt streams of warmth emanating from within his body, gradually spreading to all parts, eagerly absorbed by his muscles and bones.


    It was very comfortable.


    "After three days of intense cultivation, the effect of the last bottle of Qi and Blood Elixir has mostly worn off, and my muscles and bones are craving for more." Li Yuan was very satisfied with the medicinal effect.


    "Hmm."


    "It''s past midnight, time to practice the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.''" Li Yuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes.


    Gradually, his mind emptied and his spirit receded inward.


    His consciousness focused on his mind.


    Boom!


    Silently, his consciousness arrived at a mysterious place.


    There, a strange palace floated.

 Chapter 12: 10

    This mysterious place, boundless and endless, had no terminus.


    "Mind consciousness."


    "Every time my consciousness comes to my mind world, I am still somewhat shocked," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    The mysterious place was what he had awakened when his physical quality reached Level 5.0.


    After many attempts.


    Li Yuan finally confirmed that this should be the source of his own mind consciousness, that is, the mind world.


    The so-called mind world, as described in the vast number of Martial Path books bestowed upon Li Yuan, was referred to by powerful martial artists with various names such as the Upper Dantian Palace, the Brain Sea, the Sea of Consciousness, and many others.


    In simple terms¡ªbrain!


    It is the core of life and soul consciousness.


    If Li Yuan wanted to leave, a thought was all it would take.


    "Divine Palace," Li Yuan''s consciousness focused on the strange Divine Palace within the mind world.


    This Divine Palace seemingly had four layers from the outside.


    This was the biggest aid to Li Yuan''s rapid increase in strength over the past year.


    Humm~ In the mind world where distance is irrelevant, with a thought from Li Yuan, he had already entered the strange Divine Palace.


    The inside of the Divine Palace was vast and boundless.


    "Divine Palace panel." With a thought from Li Yuan, the data panel immediately appeared within his field of consciousness.


    The Divine Palace panel appeared when Li Yuan''s consciousness first perceived the mind world and then entered the Divine Palace.


    It was the first benefit he received from this Divine Palace.


    But Li Yuan''s consciousness did not enter the Mind Spirit Divine Palace just to wander around aimlessly.


    His consciousness had already taken notice of the only piece of furnishing in the vast palace¡ªthe Jade Platform.


    All red in hue, crystal clear, and upon close observation, engraved with many mysterious patterns that seemed to follow certain special rules, it subtly contained a kind of indescribable magical power.


    "Great Sun Jade Platform," Li Yuan said to himself, the name he had given to the Jade Platform.


    The next moment, Li Yuan''s consciousness converged directly upon the Jade Platform, as if he were seated on the peculiar Jade Platform.


    "Boom~" Li Yuan''s originally active consciousness immediately began to quiet down, and soon the environment around his consciousness changed.


    Beneath him was no longer the Jade Platform, and around him was no longer the first layer of the Divine Palace.


    It had transformed into an infinite starry sky, within which was a resplendent Great Sun, illuminating the endless expanse of stars.


    "Visualize within the heart mansion!"


    "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," the contents of this Visualization Method involuntarily surfaced in Li Yuan''s heart.


    "Recorded in the Mysterious Chronicles, ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,'' is profound and its imagery boundless... The Great Sun hangs high, its flames fierce like a raging fire forging steel, enough to hone one''s will, making it as firm as a rock, fearless in the face of tribulations, an observation of the Great Sun implying shining virtue, dazzling, and invincibly powerful."


    "Ideas extend to stars, filling the heart''s universe, with focused examination bringing all celestial maps within grasp, connecting the threads of latitude and longitude, simulating the laws of heaven and earth, a conception of the Starry Sky containing infinite changes and vibrant life."

    Li Yuan''s consciousness had unwittingly learned the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'' the first time he perceived the Jade Platform.


    It was a magical Visualization Method that could temper the mind consciousness.


    At that moment.


    Li Yuan''s consciousness was faced directly with the blazing Great Sun, as if subjected to the scorching fire, and intense pain instantly swept across his whole body, causing his physique to tremble involuntarily... the agony was immense.


    "This is the torment of the soul, not actual pain, my body will not suffer any injuries," Li Yuan was already familiar with this and tried his best to endure.


    To know, since starting his Martial Arts Cultivation in junior high school, the practice of Martial Path was very strenuous, involving both sweat and blood, especially so with Spear Technique.


    Tired or sleepy? Continue training!


    Hot weather? Train!


    Cold weather? Train!


    After a continuous month of cultivation, and then wanting to lazily rest for a day? No way!


    It could be said that since Li Yuan began Cultivation Methods in Martial Arts with the intention to become a powerful martial artist.


    His determination and willpower far exceeded that of ordinary people, even more so after several years of cultivation.


    Even so, a year ago, when he first trained with the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,'' Li Yuan only lasted less than ten seconds.


    The pain was truly unfathomable.


    Over the past year, doing so almost every day, not only did it strengthen his spiritual power but also tempered his will.


    "Ideas extend to stars, filling the heart''s universe..." While enduring the pain, Li Yuan began to exercise the Visualization Method.


    Humm~ Silently, a gentle force emanated from the endless Starry Sky, nourishing Li Yuan''s mind consciousness, gradually restoring his fatigue.


    Enabling him to withstand the scorching of the Great Sun.


    ```


    Time ticked away, second by second... Li Yuan finally managed to hold on for about three minutes.


    Boom! His consciousness shattered.


    "Hmm?"


    Li Yuan opened his eyes, as his consciousness had just returned to clarity. He briefly calmed his mind, then closed his eyes again, concentrating to enter the Mind Spirit Divine Palace once more and began to repeat the process... it was almost like self-torture.


    A quarter of an hour!


    Half an hour.


    An hour.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan received a prompt from the Divine Palace panel:


    [Your spiritual power level has been raised from 12.4 to 12.5]


    ...


    "Finally raised another 0.1 level," Li Yuan thought to himself, and then without further ado, he continued his persistent cultivation.


    Another hour later.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan tried again, only to find that his consciousness could no longer converge on the Jade Platform.


    He opened his eyes and looked down at his smart ring.


    "It''s 2:11 in the morning."


    "Another two hours of cultivation?" This was also something Li Yuan had figured out.


    Cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, he could only continue for a maximum of two hours each day, after which he would no longer be able to carry on.


    Li Yuan hypothesized that cultivating this Method was so painful, with repeated forced exits from the spiritual world, it probably wasn''t completely without cost, it was just that he hadn''t noticed it yet.


    Cultivating for a maximum of two hours per day was very likely a form of self-protection by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    "Enough."


    "Just one year of cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture and my spiritual power level has grown from 5.9 when I first entered my second year of high school to now 12.5," Li Yuan noticed another change in his body.


    Compared to the extreme fatigue he felt two hours ago, his body had now completely recovered.


    Symptoms like muscle soreness had disappeared entirely.


    It was as if he had slept deeply for ten hours and then received the most professional physical therapy.


    This was another benefit of cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture ¡ª deep restoration.


    "Comfortable."


    Li Yuan stood up, a smile appearing on his face.


    In addition to his physical state returning to its peak, he could sense that his awareness of his body and his sensitivity to his surroundings had become much clearer.


    "The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the control over the body."


    "In that case, whether I am practicing Spear Technique, movement technique, or the Basic Cultivation Methods, the efficiency will be much higher," there was a glint in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Why had he progressed so rapidly this past year?


    First, it was because of the Divine Palace panel, which let him always know his progress, filling him with motivation to cultivate.


    Second, it was the acquisition of the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture ¡ª this Visualization Method.


    Spiritual power surpassing ordinary people!


    Higher efficiency in cultivation!


    Also allowing his body to recover to its healthiest state in a short time every day, at an extremely fast pace, saving a large amount of physical therapy expenses.


    "People like Wan Xiao and some elite students would go for electric therapy, massage, medicinal baths, and other means of physical therapy to maintain and recover their bodies after arduous training," Li Yuan thought to himself: "But I reckon none of that can match the additional effects of my cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."


    This was a very magical Visualization Method.


    "But no matter how magical the Method, one still has to put in the effort to cultivate it step by step," Li Yuan was clear about this truth.


    Many people have opportunities and encounters.


    For example, being born into the Blue Star''s richest family, isn''t that an opportunity?


    For example, if born into the family of the mightiest warrior of the Seven Star Alliance, isn''t that an opportunity?


    But.


    No matter what kind of opportunities one may have, if one becomes complacent and neglects their cultivation because of them.


    Then in the future, it would be difficult to reach the pinnacle.


    "In this world."


    "Many people are born into wealthy and powerful families, have resources, possess high talent, and also work hard," Li Yuan mused to himself: "If I don''t work hard as well, how can I compare to them?"


    Thinking this, Li Yuan stood up.


    "Time to study for the academic subjects," Li Yuan entered the virtual network capsule within his room.


    ```

 Chapter 13: 11 Martial Path is Me (Four more updates for monthly passes)

    Li Yuan wore a ''smart ring,'' which was similar to early mobile phones but had more powerful functions, such as holographic projection and body condition monitoring. However, it couldn''t connect consciousness to the virtual network.


    And the virtual network pod, as an electronic device essential in every household of this era.


    Only by using it could one connect their consciousness to the virtual network.


    Its appearance resembled those early space capsule gaming consoles.


    "Iris verification!"


    "Consciousness connection." Li Yuan laid back in the pod''s chair and put on the neural connection device, feeling the cool metal against his scalp.


    In an instant, consciousness connected to the virtual network.


    The Blue Star virtual net!


    The Seven Great Planets, separated by the vast expanses of starry sky, hence each planet''s virtual network is relatively independent... at least Li Yuan had no access to the virtual networks of other planets.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan''s consciousness had arrived in a special space.


    He could leave at will, should he choose to.


    "Although the virtual network allows for consciousness connection, it always feels somewhat surreal, unable to achieve a hundred percent realism," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Not to mention achieving a one-to-one replication of body data scanning as depicted in some novels."


    "After all, the virtual can never replace the real."


    However, a virtual network with a realism of up to 70% was already incredibly magical.


    In the few decades since its inception, human civilization underwent an earth-shaking transformation.


    Hu! Hu!


    In Li Yuan''s view, numerous options appeared:


    Study Space (Virtual School/Classroom/Laboratory/Library/Martial Arts Room...)


    Virtual City (Jiang City/Capital City/Hacheng/Sucheng...)


    Social Space (Music/Friends/Dating/Games...)


    Commerce (Virtual Mall/Real Estate/Hotel Reservations)... a myriad of options.


    The vast majority of the options were in color, indicating they were accessible.


    But there were also a few grayed-out options.


    For example: Adult Series (Prohibited for Minors)


    ...


    Li Yuan had just turned seventeen not long ago and was not yet an adult.


    "Enter personal study room." Familiar with the process, Li Yuan directly entered his personal study room.


    He began to review academic knowledge.


    Theoretically, students could complete all cultural course learning online, but the virtual network ultimately couldn''t achieve 100% realism.


    Moreover, tangible materials are the hardware, the basis of all virtuality.


    Therefore, places like schools, office buildings, and service halls still existed in reality, and students still needed to attend school.


    Of course, most office work, cultural examinations, company interviews, etc., were completed online.


    For students'' self-study, if they had high self-discipline, they could be more efficient online.


    Li Yuan was one of those highly disciplined individuals.


    After an hour of efficient self-study.


    "The total score for the cultural courses is 1000 points. I scored 658 points in the second-year finals. I aim to reach 700 points this year in my senior year," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "I just don''t want to fall too far behind."


    Everyone''s energy is limited.


    Li Yuan had considerable talent in the Martial Path, especially in Spear Technique, where he exhibited great comprehension.


    Even before encountering the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, his Spear Technique was already of Second Stage quality, clearly indicating his aptitude.


    But in academic learning, his talent was admittedly average, definitely not on par with Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou, especially since he devoted little energy to it.


    It wasn''t a surprise that he hadn''t yet managed to score 700 points.


    Even if he did score 700 points, it would still be below average at Guan Mountain District''s top high school.


    This was despite the fact that Li Yuan''s academic performance had improved over the past year as his spiritual power level rose, boosting his study efficiency.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t even be confident of scoring 700 points on the college entrance exam.


    "A polymath?"


    "How many polymaths can there be? What I need to do is to fully unleash my strongest point, to be the master of one," Li Yuan had a clear understanding of himself.


    Why did he want to pursue a full-time career as a Martial Artist?


    The first reason was his deep love for it.


    The second reason was that after awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan believed he had much greater hope for major achievements on the Martial Path than on the academic route.


    ...


    It was past three in the early morning.


    "It''s time to go to school," Li Yuan stepped out of the virtual network pod.


    He slung his bag over his shoulder.


    Without disturbing his aunt, brother, or sisters, he quietly left the house.


    ...


    Driverless trams and subways operate 24 hours a day, but after midnight, the intervals between trips become much longer.


    So, Li Yuan often chose¡ªto run to school.


    He considered it a warm-up exercise.


    In the streets at just past three in the morning, aside from street lamps and the occasional passing vehicle, everything was deserted.


    Passing by the corner ''Fook Wei Noodle Shop'', he could see the owner had already woken up and started preparing for the day.


    "Boss, good morning," Li Yuan greeted with a smile. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Running at night again, eh? Be careful out there," the apron-clad owner stood up and greeted Li Yuan with a smile.


    They often bumped into each other.


    Not knowing each other''s identities or names, but over time, they had become familiar ''strangers''.


    ...


    Twenty minutes later, Li Yuan arrived at school.


    Face recognition to enter.


    He went into the classroom, and the lights were on.


    "I''ll start with two hours of Basic Cultivation Method," Li Yuan said as he stood in the corner of the classroom, calming his mind and quickly entering a stance practiced in martial arts.


    His posture was as solid as a rock, coordinating 36 forms of movements with breathing techniques.


    He began a new day of cultivation.


    Solid Rock Foundation Initiation, Rock-breaking Slide, Stance as Steady as a Pillar, Sky-shattering Stone, Hard Smash like Diamond, Mountain Firm as Abyss... These 36 forms were essentially derived from the Solid Rock Fist Technique.


    It was divided into practice method and combat application.


    In reality, Li Yuan even devoted more effort to the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique than to the Spear Technique.


    "Spear Technique can be pondered slowly."


    "But my Martial Spirit is destined not to awaken in a short time, and none of the seven high-rank cultivation methods suit me," Li Yuan thought to himself. "In that case, I must continue to cultivate using the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique."


    "Even after becoming a Martial Artist, I may still need to rely on this very cultivation technique, so I must diligently study the Solid Rock Fist Technique." Li Yuan was clear in his thoughts: "The higher my Fist Technique Realm, the more efficient my physical cultivation will be."


    Physical quality is the foundation; Spear Technique and movement technique are the weapons that unleash physical quality.


    "Moreover, Spear Technique, movement technique, Fist Technique are essentially the combination of body and mind. Progress in one aspect of martial arts skills can lead to faster improvement in other skills."


    Time passed by.


    Li Yuan practiced tirelessly, and gradually, a faint warm current flowed from his dantian in the waist area, spreading throughout his body to be devoured and absorbed by muscles and bones.


    The basic qi and blood medicinal solution he had taken a few hours earlier was gradually taking effect.


    Muscles became firmer, bone density further increased, and the internal organs were growing more robust... Only with crazy cultivation could the medicinal solution''s effectiveness not be wasted.


    Li Yuan cultivated without showing any signs of fatigue.


    In his mind involuntarily surfaced the famous words of the first martial arts powerhouse of human civilization, ''Dongfang Ji'':


    "What is the Martial Path?"


    "The Martial Path is not about surpassing others; it''s about pouring every ounce of your blood and passion into daily training, day and night, practicing sixteen hours a day, consistently over a hundred years, and when you look back after another hundred years, you will find that you are the Martial Path!"


    "The Martial Path is me."


    ...


    Just after four in the morning, the sky still dark.


    "Boom!" An intelligent off-road vehicle drove in through the school gate.


    It parked automatically.


    A figure towering like an iron tower and a black-clad woman with a robust figure stepped out of the car.


    Both headed towards the office building.


    "Tie Ta, is this the school you work at?" The woman with a firm face and sharp eagle-like eyes gazed across the campus. "This is my first visit to see you since your retirement."


    Xu Bo smiled rarely: "You''re really in a hurry this time, passing through Jiang City and can only stay for four hours."


    "I''m here particularly to check on your medication," the black-clad woman glanced at him. "Otherwise, with such urgent tasks, I wouldn''t have stopped in Jiang City at all. Come on, take me to your therapy room for a preliminary examination."


    "If your nerve injury has worsened, the supervisors will have to come up with a new solution for you."


    Suddenly, the black-clad woman halted her steps.


    "A student is already here to practice so early? And he seems to be doing pretty well, his Basic Cultivation Method is nearly perfected, with a high level of control over his body," the black-clad woman said with slight surprise.


    Her gaze drifted toward a nearby building.


    In the entire high school building, only one classroom on the first floor was lit.


    Through the window, one could see a student inside focused on cultivating Fist Technique.


    Each movement was as unmoving as a rock towering on the land, exuding an unshakable aura.


    "Li Yuan?" Xu Bo frowned slightly to one side: "He''s already practicing at school this early?"


    "Can his body handle that?"


    Cultivation should be in moderation.


    In Xu Bo''s view, it was necessary to ensure sufficient sleep, rest, diet, and treatment for efficient cultivation.


    "Considering his vibrant spirit, blood filled with energy, and seemly well-rested state, it appears he''s been resting very well." The black-clad woman commented with a smile: "Tie Ta, do you know him, is he your student?"


    "He is my student," Xu Bo said, looking thoughtfully at Li Yuan.


    "Let''s go, we will first visit my Martial Arts Room."

 Chapter 14: 12: The Ultimate Move

    Xu Bo and the woman in black passed by the classroom. Their breaths were so well concealed, and because they did not observe for long, Li Yuan did not notice them at all.


    He was completely immersed in his own cultivation.


    Although Li Yuan was serious when studying his academic courses, he essentially did it with the mindset of ''completing a task'', so it was difficult for his efficiency to reach the highest level.


    But when cultivating his fist technique or spear technique, feeling his physical quality and martial skills gradually improving filled Li Yuan with heartfelt joy.


    Utterly focused.


    Doing one thing well only happens when one is fully immersed and loves it from the bottom of their heart, which is the only way to make the greatest progress.


    Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.


    Suddenly.


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has increased from 88% at the Third Stage to 89% at the Third Stage.]


    [Your Fist Strength has increased from 426 kg to 427 kg.]


    [Your Speed has increased from 14.4 m/s to 14.5 m/s.]


    Three prompts appeared out of nowhere in Li Yuan''s vision, and his Divine Palace panel data changed accordingly.


    But so engrossed was he in his cultivation that he didn''t even notice the slight improvements to his physical quality.


    It wasn''t until his intelligent wristband suddenly vibrated.


    "Is it already 5:30 am? How time flies," Li Yuan was startled awake.


    He was already sweating profusely.


    "Hm? My physical quality has improved again?" It was only then that Li Yuan noticed the reminders on the Divine Palace panel.


    He felt even more satisfied in his heart.


    "A little progress every day, as long as it''s consistently maintained," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Ever since awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace a year ago and learning the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, Li Yuan only needed to meditate for two hours each day. If he could endure the hellish torture of his psyche, his physical exhaustion would vanish completely, rendering better recovery than sleep or deep therapy.


    Since then, he had cultivated the habit of arriving at the school for cultivation at around 3:30 am.


    Even during holidays, he would find a place to cultivate alone at the bottom of his apartment complex.


    Striving to the utmost.


    Only by doing so had he managed to make such rapid progress in the Martial Path over the past year.


    Li Yuan wiped the sweat from his body and put back his towel.


    Suddenly sensing something, he turned to look back.


    "Tianyou? You''re here so early?" Li Yuan smiled at the slim figure with the backpack.


    "You got here even earlier than me," Li Tianyou said, also looking surprised at Li Yuan.


    "I just got here a while ago, just put my bag down," Li Yuan, while taking out his long spear, laughed and said, "I left evening self-study earlier than you yesterday, so I need to work harder in the morning."


    "Is that so?" Li Tianyou looked at Li Yuan, puzzled.


    He could no longer remember how many times this had happened.


    Every time after evening self-study, he was the last one to leave the classroom, which is why he was called the ''First Study King'' by his classmates.


    But!!


    Li Tianyou alone knew that no matter whether he arrived at the classroom at 6:30 am, 6:15 am, or even 6:00 am, one figure was always there before him¡ªLi Yuan.


    Today, he deliberately arrived at 5:40 am.


    Li Yuan was already standing in the classroom.


    "Pfft!"


    Not far away, Li Yuan took out his long spear and silently began to practice his spear technique.


    "Could it be that Li Yuan arrives at school every day at 5:30 am, or even earlier?" Li Tianyou couldn''t help but think as he watched Li Yuan.


    He immediately shook his head.


    Impossible!


    "My home is just a street away from school, pretty close."


    "When I occasionally arrive around 5 am, I feel a bit sleepy during the day," Li Tianyou thought to himself. "If I want to stay fully energized throughout the day, I should get up at 6:15 am."


    Li Tianyou was equally disciplined.


    "Li Yuan''s family is only slightly better off than mine, so he can''t afford high-level therapy, and he lives so far away... If he wants to get to school by 5:30 am, he has to get up at 5 am. His body can''t handle that."


    "He must be like me, only occasionally coming to school for practice early in the morning."


    "It''s just that these few times, we happened to bump into each other," Li Tianyou guessed.


    He didn''t dwell on it and started practising the Basic Cultivation Method on his own.


    Until 6:30 am.


    It was broad daylight by then, and a few classmates began to trickle into the Martial Path classroom.


    "You two study kings are here again?" Several classmates teased, and then they all began to practice on their own.


    It wasn''t that the students of Class 3(2) didn''t work hard; rather, most of them focused on academic courses, and even if they arrived early, they would likely head to an academic classroom to review.


    "Clang!"


    Li Yuan put his long spear back into the weapon cabinet and left the classroom to go to the canteen.


    It was time for breakfast.


    Eating three meals a day, at set times, adjusting for snacks or portions according to what the body needs.


    That is the basic code of conduct for a Martial Path student.


    After breakfast.


    Li Yuan went straight to the cultural classroom, beginning a morning of cultural lessons.


    ...


    Day after day.


    Li Yuan practiced methodically.


    For senior year students¡ªwhether they focused on cultural studies or the Martial Path.


    The process was incredibly dull and depressing.


    But Li Yuan was clear, there were no actual geniuses in the real sense.


    "Genius" has always been 99% perspiration plus 1% talent, and sometimes, when breaking through a bottleneck, that 1% of talent is indeed more important.


    However, without the 99% perspiration, no matter how high one''s talent, it would ultimately be a castle in the air.


    Because the world never lacks geniuses.


    What is always lacking are hardworking geniuses.


    ...


    Day after day, time flew, and it was suddenly mid-September.


    During this time, Li Yuan made time to visit the ''Starry Sky Martial Hall Guan Mountain District branch'' and purchased a whole box of basic blood Qi liquid from Uncle Zhong for 19,000 Blue Star Coins.


    Uncle Zhong, a friend of his Uncle Li Changzhou, was an Entry Rank martial artist and a member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, who helped to buy the basic blood Qi liquid with a discount.


    Even so, this expense still made Li Yuan''s heart ache.


    But it had to be spent.


    If he didn''t have the basic blood Qi liquid, his progress in physical quality would be at least halved.


    Even his body might not be able to withstand such frantic training, resulting in a deficit. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Martial Path required not only talent and effort but also financial investment.


    All three were indispensable.


    And now, it had been over ten days since Teacher Xu Bo promised the "Third Class scholarship".


    Li Yuan was eager at heart.


    But during this period, whether it was during his Martial Path classes or when he encountered Teacher Xu Bo during the breaks, Li Yuan never mentioned it.


    It was as if such a conversation had never taken place between them.


    "This scholarship, I can only wait for it, I must not ask for it," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Because, he wasn''t entitled to it.


    If Teacher Xu Bo had kept silent all this time, he must have encountered some difficulties.


    To ask proactively would only displease the other party.


    ...


    Before long, another five days had passed.


    The moonlight was hazy, scattering a cool brilliance over the oil cypress path outside the senior teaching building.


    In the spacious Martial Path classroom of senior year (Class 2), a dozen students were each practicing on their own.


    On one side of the field, Li Yuan was immersed in practicing his Spear Technique.


    Standing there, his entire presence was like an immovable rock, emanating an invisible pressure, with both hands holding the spear.


    He repeatedly practiced various techniques with the long spear.


    "Pff!"


    "Pfft!" The tip of the spear drew invisible arcs through the air, creating afterimages, swift as a gale with aggressive, straight thrusts.


    "Boom!" Suddenly, firm as a Solid Rock Pillar, the spear shadows flowed endlessly.


    Each turn, lift of the spear, thrust, and parry by Li Yuan landed precisely on the points he had envisioned in his mind.


    With his spine arching and waist twisting, the muscles and bones throughout his body moved along with the long spear, reaching a high realm of unity between body, heart, and weapon.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan, who had just taken a defensive stance with his spear, suddenly lunged forward with a powerful thrust as if a dragon lurking in a myriad of rocky ravines unleashed its power.


    The might of this thrust was hidden to the extreme before its burst.


    But when the thrust exploded forward, its ferocity reached the ultimate extreme.


    "Boom!" The spear shadows instantly blurred, and the air itself seemed to crackle.


    This scene.


    Astonished all the surrounding students, who couldn''t help but turn their heads to look at the move Li Yuan had just executed.


    "Finally, I''ve fully perfected this killing move."


    "Dragon Hidden in the Gorge!" Li Yuan retracted his spear, a faint light flickering in his eyes: "With this move, combined with the killing move ''Solid Rock Pillar'' I created before, one offensive and one defensive supporting each other."


    "I am now fully capable of surpassing 500 points in the Gold Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    The Combat Network had long established a rule.


    If one could reach 500 points in the Gold Stage before the age of eighteen, they would be rewarded with 50,000 Blue Star Coins.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan suddenly noticed a reminder on the Divine Palace panel.


    [Your Spear Technique Realm has progressed from the Third Stage at 40% to the Third Stage at 46%]

 Chapter 15: 13 Xu Bos Test

    "Creating this unique move, my Spear Technique Realm has increased by 6%?" Li Yuan revealed a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth.


    Such an improvement was within his expectations.


    Li Yuan remembered that during the second semester of his junior year, as the final exams approached, his Spear Technique Realm had been stuck at 99% at the Second Stage, unable to break through.


    Teacher Xu, at that time, had given him three pieces of advice.


    First, both Fist Technique and movement technique are combinations of body and mind. As you gradually improve control over your body to mobilize its strength to the utmost, both Fist Technique and movement technique will often continue to improve, and vice versa.


    Second, Spear Technique is a weapon! The essence of practicing Spear Technique is the integration of body, mind, and weapon. As the weapon is an external object, not an inherent part of the body, it is more difficult to cultivate; however, a weapon can exert terrifying fighting power beyond the body''s strength.


    Third, when you hit a bottleneck in spear practice, try transforming fists into spears!


    "Historically, the ''Xingyi Quan'' in traditional martial arts evolved from spear skills," Li Yuan thought silently. "Integrating the force and technical variations of Spear Technique into bare-handed Fist Technique truly transforms the spear into a fist."


    "In this era, with Cultivation Methods like stance practices and Breathing Techniques complementing each other, the efficiency of body cultivation far exceeds that of the ancients. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The entire human civilization has embarked on the road of Life Evolution, repeatedly breaking the limits of life, and ultimately giving rise to Martial Artists capable of soaring through the heavens and earth, but the fundamental principles of Martial Arts Skills remain unchanged." Li Yuan reviewed the past.


    "The ''Solid Rock Fist Technique'' and the traditional Xingyi Quan have a similar ingenuity and can also be transformed into Spear Technique."


    This was the direction that Li Yuan chose after receiving guidance from Teacher Xu Bo.


    It was also one of the reasons why Li Yuan had so fervently studied the "Solid Rock Fist Technique."


    Fist Technique, Spear Technique, and movement technique were never independent of each other but promoted each other.


    During the final exams of his junior year, Li Yuan had not managed to break through.


    Therefore, during the vacation, he did not relax at all and kept pondering relentlessly.


    With his spiritual power further enhanced, finally, in the half-month before school resumed.


    Li Yuan took the basic spear skills as the cornerstone and combined the core secrets of the "Solid Rock Fist Technique" to create his very first real Spear Technique move¡ªSolid Rock Pillar.


    This move combined the two moves from the Solid Rock Fist Technique, ''Solid Rock Foundation Initiation'' and ''Force like a Steady Pillar,'' into Spear Technique.


    Both the "Solid Rock Cultivation Technique" and the "Solid Rock Fist Technique" prioritize the foundation and energy from the ground, and they are the strongest in defense among the Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods.


    This Spear Technique move was also a defensive one.


    Creating ''Solid Rock Pillar'' enabled Li Yuan''s Spear Technique Realm to break through from 99% at the Second Stage to the Third Stage in one fell swoop.


    At the beginning of the school term, during the test and the sparring with Teacher Xu Bo, it was also because of this unique move that Li Yuan was able to withstand more than ten moves.


    A defensive spear move would only save your life.


    To kill an enemy? You must attack.


    Therefore, in these two months, Li Yuan had been thinking about how to create an attack move.


    "Solid Rock Fist Technique excels in defense, so creating a defensive ultimate move is easy, but creating an attack move is difficult."


    The Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods include seven Fist Techniques, like the "Blazing Flame Fist Technique" and the "True Gold Fist Technique," which are good at attacking and can more easily create attacking ultimate moves.


    Through repeated practice of both Fist Technique and Spear Technique.


    As his Skill Realm rose higher, it was only after referencing the concept of ''Turnabout Spear'' that Li Yuan finally had a breakthrough.


    "Turnabout Spear is about feigning weakness before an enemy, pretending to retreat and then suddenly turning around to counterattack¡ªit''s a mounted spear skill," Li Yuan thought silently. "My Solid Rock Spear Technique excels in defense, whether it''s in the circulation of vigor, footwork, or the way I hold the spear, there''s an innate tendency towards defense."


    "Then, the moment I take the initiative to attack, during the switch between spear moves, it''s easy for the enemy to discern the feint from the real attack."


    "The only way is to counterattack."


    "To use defense as offense, waiting until the enemy is careless or becomes weary after a fierce attack, then suddenly strike with a lethal move." Li Yuan''s eyes shone with determination.


    On this principle, Li Yuan finally created the killing move ''Hidden Dragon in the Gorge.''"


    "Based on the single sessions of Martial Arts lessons these past two weeks and Teacher Xu''s personal guidance," Li Yuan thought. "The First Stage and Second Stage are the foundation of skills."


    In the most recent lessons.


    Teacher Xu Bo always provided personal guidance to Li Yuan.


    "The Third Stage Realm emphasizes the integration of body, mind, and weapon, striving to use one hundred percent of the body''s strength," Li Yuan thought silently. "The Spear Technique and Fist Technique that I normally execute instinctively can''t fully utilize my strength."


    "Only when I find the opportunity to apply an ultimate move can I achieve it."


    Only those moves that can fully unleash the body''s strength can be considered ultimate or killing moves.


    So far, the ultimate moves that Li Yuan had created were only two.


    "Moving forward, if I can create more ultimate moves," Li Yuan gradually clarified his future path. "Even to the extent that someday, every punch or spear thrust I make could achieve perfection in the circulation of vigor and weapon power without wasting any strength, then my Martial Arts Skills will be able to break through to the Fourth Stage Realm."


    In the lectures by Teacher Xu Bo.


    The so-called ''Fourth Stage Realm'' has another name¡ªUnity with the Weapon.


    Also known as ''Body-Mind-Weapon Integration.''


    In ancient times, if one''s skills reached the Fourth Stage, they could barely qualify to be called a ''Spear Technique Master'' or ''Fist Technique Master.''


    "Unity with the weapon? That''s a bit far off," Li Yuan shook his head slightly. "Step by step, let''s continue to ponder more ultimate moves."


    Each ultimate move is essentially a specific way for the body to exert force perfectly.


    The more ultimate moves created, the more perfected the body''s overall power-generation techniques become, and ultimately, one would naturally step into the Fourth Stage Realm.


    "Whew!"


    ```


    "Tssk!" Li Yuan continued to practice his Spear Technique, becoming more familiar with the "Dragon Hidden in the Ravine" move.


    "The day after tomorrow."


    "The day after tomorrow is a holiday, I''ll have enough time, so I''ll work hard to get my points up to the Gold Stage with 500 points," Li Yuan resolved.


    Can''t wait for the scholarship.


    If he wanted to lessen the financial burden on his family, he''d have to find his own way.


    The prize money of fifty thousand from the Starry Skies Fighting Network had been on Li Yuan''s mind for quite some time.


    ¡­


    Office building, first floor.


    Teacher Xu Bo''s office was exceedingly spacious.


    "This kid, he''s progressing really fast," Xu Bo, standing in the middle of the Martial Arts Room and built like a tower, dressed in a martial arts uniform, remarked.


    In front of him.


    A mass of light coalesced to form an image on a light screen about two meters high and two and a half meters wide.


    The screen displayed the martial arts classroom of class Senior Three (2).


    And the enlarged image showed Li Yuan practicing his "Dragon Hidden in the Ravine" Spear Technique.


    "He really can keep his cool, hasn''t asked me about it after all this time; the kid sure is steady," Teacher Xu said, a hint of teasing in his smile.


    As the homeroom teacher and a special-grade instructor of the school, he had high-level access and could freely pull up class surveillance footage.


    Thus, upon seeing that Li Yuan arrived at school past four o''clock that day.


    He began to pay special attention to Li Yuan and pulled up a significant amount of past surveillance records.


    This investigation, even for someone accustomed to big scenes like Xu Bo, was somewhat surprising.


    He found that Li Yuan had been coming to school after three o''clock every day for a year.


    Without ever taking a break.


    "Determined, persistent, he''s a promising student," Teacher Xu thought. "Moreover, my previous speculation was correct; his family''s conditions are only average. The fact that his body can withstand such intense training demonstrates that his physical talent is truly remarkable."


    Teacher Xu was unaware of the existence of the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."


    He attributed Li Yuan''s ability to endure daily arduous training, yet still be full of vigor, to ''exceptional talent.''


    His standards were incredibly high, and he knew that there are many unique geniuses in this world.


    The abilities that Li Yuan displayed weren''t anything special to him.


    What Teacher Xu valued most were Li Yuan''s persistence and comprehension.


    "Having talent isn''t everything," he said.


    "But it''s crucial to make the effort to realize that talent," he added.


    However, even after thoroughly investigating, besides providing normal guidance in his teaching, Teacher Xu had yet taken no particular action.


    He wanted to observe and test Li Yuan further.


    Should he use his resources and connections to nurture someone with talent just because he had it? Who said he had to? Li Yuan wasn''t Teacher Xu''s own son.


    Just a student.


    That was why he was going to use the issue of the ''scholarship''.


    To see what kind of character Li Yuan had.


    If Li Yuan couldn''t wait more than a few days and became impatient to inquire, Teacher Xu would understand, as it''s human nature. He would apply for the scholarship, and even help get a Second Class Scholarship, fulfilling his duty as a teacher.


    But he wouldn''t do more than that, because the talented individuals worthy of Teacher Xu''s attention shouldn''t just be ''ordinary people.''


    "It''s about time."


    "Since it''s his Senior year, I can''t delay him too long, and besides, he''s still a kid after all, my demands can''t be too harsh," Teacher Xu gazed at the light screen and said, "Black Dog, help me connect with Principal Tan."


    "Yes, Master."


    "Beep¡ªbeep¡ª" The projected image changed.


    Shortly after.


    An office scene appeared on the screen, where a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in front of a desk.


    If Li Yuan saw the man, he would definitely recognize him as the school''s principal, ''Tan Zhenlong''.


    Tan Zhenlong, his actual age over seventy years old.


    In this era, the normal retirement age is eighty; if one is a Martial Artist, they may choose to delay retirement to a hundred years old.


    "Old Tan," Teacher Xu said bluntly.


    "Xu Bo," Principal Tan smiled and asked, "Calling me this late, what''s the matter?"


    "I want to apply for a Special Scholarship spot, approve it," Teacher Xu said straightforwardly.


    ```

 Chapter 16: 14 Special Scholarship

    ```


    "Special Scholarship?" Principal Tan, who was going through documents, had his smile freeze on his face.


    He doubted his ears, "Xu Bo? Did you say special?"


    "What else?" Xu Bo glared, "Old Tan, cut the chatter and just hurry up and approve it."


    Principal Tan felt a headache coming on.


    As a principal, his power was substantial; in theory, all teachers were his subordinates... but Xu Bo had a special status.


    "Xu Bo, it''s not that I don''t want to approve it for you." Principal Tan lifted his eyelids and said helplessly, "A Special Scholarship isn''t just a First Rank Scholarship. A First Rank Scholarship is only a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins, which I can approve directly."


    "A Special Scholarship is five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins. Even if I agree, it still has to be reported up to the Education Bureau."


    "I know." Xu Bo nodded as if it were a matter of course, "After you approve it, I''ll give Director He a call."


    Principal Tan was startled.


    The Director He that Xu Bo mentioned was his immediate supervisor.


    Principal Tan understood that Xu Bo wasn''t terrifyingly powerful; after an injury, his Physical Quality was just at the level of 19, but having survived in the Star Realm for over twenty years and still coming back alive... his connections were unfathomably deep.


    To Principal Tan''s knowledge, when Xu Bo first came to Guan Mountain District''s Number One High School, it was Director He who personally escorted him.


    "Xu Bo." Principal Tan shook his head, "If you want me to agree, you at least have to tell me why. Which student is it? Or is it a promising seedling from some middle school?"


    Principal Tan knew Xu Bo well.


    He was very strict in teaching students, but equally responsible, often considering the students'' welfare.


    He was the school''s leading star teacher.


    Otherwise, even with Xu Bo''s extensive connections, Principal Tan wouldn''t care much about him.


    As for suspecting that Xu Bo would embezzle the five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins? That had never crossed Principal Tan''s mind.


    You see, Xu Bo''s office... he had spent millions of Blue Star Coins to renovate it himself... the wealth accumulated by a powerful Martial Artist who had wandered the Star Realm for many years is quite astonishing.


    "There is a promising seedling, but not from middle school." said Xu Bo, "He''s from the third year of high school."


    "A high school third-year promising seedling worthy of a Special Scholarship?" Principal Tan was slightly surprised.


    He didn''t recall such a student.


    The scholarship took into account many aspects like academic performance, family background, talent, and political connections.


    "I''ll send you the information." Xu Bo said.


    Soon enough, Principal Tan received the online data and immediately began reviewing it. With over fifty years of experience working in the education field... his capabilities were strong.


    "Xu Bo, this Li Yuan is indeed a promising seedling with great potential. It''s to your credit that you discovered him." Principal Tan first praised Xu Bo''s eye for talent.


    Immediately afterward, he switched tones, "But to be nominated for a Special Scholarship? To be honest, Li Yuan is still lacking a bit."


    "What is he lacking?" Xu Bo''s face showed displeasure, "Didn''t you see his Spear Technique video?"


    "I saw it, it''s impressive."


    Principal Tan shook his head, "But the scholarship is issued by the state, and it''s not just up to me and Director He to approve, the Intelligent Supervision Bureau also has to pass it."


    "The Intelligent Supervision Bureau doesn''t have manual reviews, they only acknowledge official exam results, and whether Martial Spirit has awakened is also a significant indicator."


    "In the last term exam, he just made it into the top thirty of his year, and he hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit... it''ll be difficult to pass the final review." Principal Tan explained.


    "With his current strength, he has the potential to break into the top twenty of his year." Xu Bo glared.


    "That''s your claim." Principal Tan shook his head, "The Intelligent Supervision Bureau only recognizes official exam results; we''d at least have to wait until the January re-examination."


    "January re-examination?" Xu Bo showed displeasure, "That''s still several months away, the iron''s going to get cold."


    "Old Tan, you''re also a Martial Artist, you know how important this age is." Xu Bo said, "What resources can you directly allocate now?"


    "Now?"


    Principal Tan thought for a moment, "Second Class Scholarship, I can directly approve that."


    "Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins? Not enough." Xu Bo flatly shook his head.


    "That''s all the authority I have on hand." Principal Tan spread his hands and then added, "Alright, how about this, I''ll also give him access to an independent Martial Arts Room, which is the treatment for the top ten in the grade."


    Xu Bo frowned, seemingly still not satisfied.


    "Xu Bo, that''s enough."


    "For a third-year high school student, fifty thousand is enough to buy two or three months'' worth of basic vitality fluid." Principal Tan said, "Wait until the January re-examination, if he can break into the top twenty of his year, I''ll help apply for a First Rank Scholarship."


    "Top twenty of his year? Old Tan, I have to say, you really undervalue people." Xu Bo shook his head, "Li Yuan has a complete chance of breaking into the top ten by the January re-examination."


    This time, Principal Tan laughed.


    "He hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit."


    "It''s almost impossible for him to aim for the top ten of his year," said Principal Tan with a laugh, "If he can really do it... well, I''ll do my best to help him apply for the Special Scholarship."


    "If the application doesn''t go through, I''ll sponsor some of it out of my own pocket." Principal Tan laughed.


    "It''s a deal."


    Xu Bo''s eyes lit up, revealing a sly gleam, "You said it, and I''ve recorded it... Alright, I''ve already sent the Second Class Scholarship application to you, hurry up and approve it."


    "I have other things to attend to, so I''ll hang up now."


    "Beep¡ª"


    Xu Bo had hung up the video.


    Leaving Principal Tan in his office, who hadn''t quite recovered, staring at the ''pending approval document'' that had just appeared on his work screen.


    He paused for a moment.


    Principal Tan needed no further explanation.


    He had been outmaneuvered.


    If Xu Bo truly intended to apply for a Special Scholarship, why would he send a Second Class Scholarship application in a split second?


    It was clearly prepared in advance.


    Xu Bo''s real target was the Second Class Scholarship... mentioning the Special Scholarship was just an opening gambit to highball.


    "This Xu Bo..." Principal Tan smiled wryly and said, "Number Nine."


    "Open the pending approval document."


    "Approved."


    ...


    In the office building, inside Xu Bo''s office.


    "Special Scholarship?" Xu Bo revealed a cryptic smile, "Call Director He? I''m not that foolish."


    Xu Bo knew clearly that, with Li Yuan''s current situation, there was no chance of passing the Intelligent Supervision Bureau''s review.


    "That''s enough."


    "And I even earned an independent Martial Arts Room." Xu Bo chuckled, "This old Tan, he''s just too rigid, always hemming and hawing when it''s time to release some funds."


    ```


    "It''s like he treats the government funding as his secret stash of money tucked away behind his wife''s back, as if I would waste it..."


    "Hmm? Agreed?"


    "He was quite agreeable this time." Xu Bo thought for a moment and said, "Black Dog, send a smiley face to Principal Tan."


    "Oh no, send that selfie with my smile I saved last time."


    "Yes, Master."

    9 o''clock in the evening. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The sounds of the evening self-study session were echoing through the campus as students gradually left.


    Inside the Martial Arts Room of Class 3-2.


    Only Li Yuan and Li Tianyou remained, both practicing with cold weapons.


    "Li Yuan, aren''t you leaving?" Li Tianyou couldn''t help but shout.


    "It''s fine, you go ahead." Li Yuan smiled and said, "I''m going to practice a bit longer."


    Li Tianyou was stunned for a moment.


    He had arrived at school at 5:45 this morning, thinking of going home early to rest tonight... but now he hesitated.


    "Li Yuan arrives earlier than me and leaves later." Li Tianyou gritted his teeth, "I can''t match his talent, but surely I can match his effort?"


    "Continue practicing."


    In the distance, Li Yuan hadn''t noticed the change in Li Tianyou''s expression; he was examining the data on the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª


    [Life Level: 6.7 (Unranked)]


    Physical Quality Index: 74 (A comprehensive measure of explosive power, endurance, speed, physique, spiritual power, and many other aspects.)


    Fist Strength: 445 kilograms


    Speed: 14.7 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 12.9


    Physical Body Cultivation Method: "Solid Rock Cultivation Method"


    Spiritual Cultivation Method: "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture"


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Third Stage 46%), Movement Technique (Third Stage 29%), Fist Technique (Third Stage 94%)


    [Note: A certain higher Spiritual Nature is hidden within the body, not yet awakened]


    ¡ª


    "Compared to the beginning of the month, both my physical quality and spiritual power have been steadily improving." Li Yuan was quite satisfied.


    He firmly believed that if he persisted in his cultivation like this,


    one day, he would become a powerful Martial Artist.


    What excited him most today was creating the unique move ''Dragon Hidden in the Gorge''.


    "Just created, it''s not very smooth to execute yet."


    "These next few days, I need to ponder over it more." Li Yuan was deep in thought.


    Suddenly.


    "Li Yuan." A cold voice, like a resounding bell, came from inside the classroom.


    Li Yuan and Li Tianyou both turned their heads.


    "Teacher Xu?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    "Come to my office." Xu Bo spoke gravely, then turned and walked away, disappearing into the night.


    "Tianyou, I won''t be coming back to the classroom later," Li Yuan said hurriedly, placing the spear back in the weapons cabinet.


    He grabbed his bag and quickly left the classroom.


    "This late."


    "Teacher Xu has come to find Li Yuan?" Li Tianyou''s eyes flashed with envy, "No wonder Li Yuan was in no hurry to leave, was Teacher Xu planning to give him special guidance?"


    Li Tianyou shook his head and muttered to himself, "Li Tianyou, oh Li Tianyou, don''t worry about others."


    "Focus on yourself!" His gaze sharpened and he earnestly began practicing Sword Technique again.


    ¡­


    Inside Xu Bo''s office.


    "A Second Class Scholarship? 50,000 Blue Star Coins?" When Li Yuan heard this good news, he was first stunned, then filled with endless joy.


    Even with his composure, he could hardly contain his exhilaration.


    For Li Yuan, the 50,000 Blue Star Coins could not only help relieve his family''s financial pressure,


    but also ease the pressure in his heart.


    It could alleviate some of the guilt he felt towards his uncle and aunt.


    "This happy?" Seeing Li Yuan''s unabashed joy, Xu Bo was quite surprised.


    Xu Bo instantly realized that this scholarship was probably more important to Li Yuan than he had anticipated.


    "It''s so important to Li Yuan,"


    "yet he hasn''t come to me without so much as a word for more than half a month, quite steady." Xu Bo thought to himself, his estimation of Li Yuan rising a notch.


    Once Li Yuan had completely composed himself,


    "Thank you, Teacher Xu," Li Yuan gratefully said.


    Li Yuan was aware that his scholarship being upgraded from Third Class to Second Class was likely the reason Xu Bo had taken so long.


    "The scholarship will be transferred to your account next Monday," Xu Bo said, "Also, I have two more pieces of good news for you."


    "Good news?" Li Yuan listened intently.


    More good news?


    "First, I begged the principal with this face of mine five or six times before he agreed to allocate a separate Martial Arts Room for you, so you can concentrate on your cultivation," Xu Bo said seriously.


    A separate Martial Arts Room? Li Yuan was shocked; this privilege was nearly exclusive to the top ten students in the grade with hardly any exceptions.


    "Teacher, you''ve gone to great lengths." Li Yuan felt increasingly grateful.


    "Second, the principal has agreed that if you can break into the top ten in the grade during the January exams, I can help you apply for a First Rank Scholarship, 100,000 Blue Star Coins," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, "If you can reach the top five, there''s a chance to apply for the Special Scholarship."


    "The Special Scholarship is 500,000 Blue Star Coins!"


    "The opportunity is given to you."


    "Whether you can seize it is up to you."

 Chapter 33: 31: Its Just Too Much

    "A B-level contract?"


    "Once I awaken my Martial Spirit, I''ll be directly promoted to an A-level contract?" Li Yuan felt somewhat dizzy.


    It was like being suddenly knocked out by happiness.


    After all, even after making it onto the Blue Star youth leaderboard, there had been no word from the Starfire Martial Hall or the Martial Arts Hall, with the only interest coming from the Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    And even then, after half a month of hesitation, the best they were willing to offer was a D-level contract.


    The difference between a D-level contract and a B-level contract was not a tiny bit.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan took a deep breath and did not let his head be swayed by the excitement; he instantly recalled the teachings of his uncle, Li Changzhou, from when he was young: "Even in overwhelming joy or anger and pain, before making a significant decision, you must calm down and ask yourself three questions."


    What is it!


    Why is it! Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    How to do it!


    Four words in summary¡ªsteady! Don''t be rash!


    In just a few seconds, Li Yuan had calmed down again and identified the core question, "Why?"


    Why would Lord Wan offer me a B-level contract? It was a contract worth tens of millions, with nearly ten million in Blue Star Coins provided in cash alone.


    I am not Lu Bu; I do not have that many adoptive fathers to love me.


    "Lord Wan."


    Li Yuan said calmly, "A B-level contract is very good, better than I expected... but why would you offer me such a contract, Lord Wan? I haven''t even awakened my Martial Spirit."


    There must be something abnormal when things deviate from the norm.


    Because of my good physical quality? There are not too few elite class students who are better than me.


    Martial arts skills? I''m not bad, but not to the extent of being unparalleled in the world.


    "The boy is steady, not blinded by benefits," Lord Wan smiled at Li Yuan, raising his opinion of him another notch.


    Lord Wan smiled and said, "I don''t want to hide it from you. I am willing to offer a B-level contract because you have strong spiritual power, which can probably compete with that of a First Rank Martial Artist."


    Spiritual power? Li Yuan was inwardly startled.


    The other party can sense the strength of the spiritual power?


    Yes, I have been practicing the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'' every day, continuously enhancing my spiritual power, which has reached level 13.2, not too weak even among Martial Artists.


    Usually, the spirit is enhanced in tandem with the body.


    "Of course, I can only feel it vaguely, and my judgment is not precise," Lord Wan continued. "Technological instruments can''t directly test spiritual power. To detect it, you generally need a Third Rank Martial Artist to do it personally... I am just a Second Rank Prime Warrior, with a special method of cultivation.


    Plus, your weak strength means you can''t fully conceal your spirit, which is why I could sense a bit."


    "If you were a Martial Artist, with your spiritual power contained in the sea of consciousness, I would have difficulty sensing it." Lord Wan spoke very frankly, displaying none of the airs of a superior.


    He treated Li Yuan as if they were chatting casually, which felt very comfortable.


    Lord Wan''s words cleared many doubts in Li Yuan''s mind but also raised new ones.


    "Strong spiritual power is enough for a B-level contract?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    Li Yuan knew the importance of spiritual power but wasn''t clear on just how important it was.


    There was no detailed information available online.


    "Whether it''s important depends on the person," Lord Wan smiled and said. "If you want to become a Second Rank Prime Warrior, then spiritual power is essential. But if you''re just a First Rank Martial Artist... whether your spiritual power is a bit stronger or weaker isn''t a big deal."


    "After all, no matter how strong your spiritual power is, if someone chops off your head with a sword, you''re still going to die."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Prime Warrior? So Lord Wan is a Prime Warrior? Indeed stronger than Teacher Xu."


    A First Rank Martial Artist?


    A Second Rank Prime Warrior?


    The classification of ranks among Martial Artists was not entirely secret in society, and students like Li Yuan, about to graduate from high school, also took a keen interest in it and mostly understood it.


    Martial Artists are classified by their physical quality.


    Levels 1-9.9 are considered ordinary people.


    Levels 10.0-19.9 are known as Entry Rank Martial Artists or First Rank Martial Artists.


    Levels 20.0-29.9 are called Second Rank Martial Artists.


    Prime Warrior is a term of respect for those above Second Rank Martial Artists.


    First Rank Martial Artists, with physical qualities between levels 10-19, often need to use hot weapons to contend with Star Realm Creatures.


    Prime Warriors, with at least level 20 physical quality and the ability to wield the miraculous Origin Power, are incredibly strong; ordinary hot weapons are nearly useless against them.


    They use cold weapons combined with Origin Power to fight powerful Star Realm Creatures... but Prime Warriors are exceedingly rare.


    At least, in the past decade or so, Li Yuan had never encountered a Prime Warrior in real life, only through various videos and images.


    Lord Wan was the first.


    "The rapid recent improvement in your martial arts skills and physical quality must be directly related to your spiritual power," Lord Wan said with a smile. "Spiritual power is challenging to measure directly, and those with exceptional spiritual talent are extremely rare... For instance, among the twenty million people in Jiang City, not even one emerges in a year."


    "Therefore, assessments like the college entrance exams or even special admissions at other times do not include spiritual power in their testing scope."


    "Moreover, generally speaking, even if we don''t go testing for it, those with exceptional spiritual talents will gradually reveal themselves in university, where they can then receive specialized training without delay."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood after a little thought.


    Testing for spiritual power? You''d generally need a Third Rank Martial Artist, but even Second Rank Prime Warriors are extremely rare.


    The strength of a Third Rank Martial Artist...is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. How could such figures have the time to do such things?


    Input and reward are not proportional.


    "And you, Li Yuan," Lord Wan smiled, "are one of those with spiritual power talent one in a million."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Spiritual power talent? He feared he was not.


    "However, I can cultivate the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture''. My limit, compared to those with natural talents, will only be stronger." Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    From Lord Wan''s attitude,


    Li Yuan had realized just how precious the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'' was¡ªcould it directly enhance spiritual power? It definitely belonged to that category of inconceivable methods.


    Just that, Li Yuan hadn''t intended to expose it yet.


    Because, from his own experience, having the method seemed useless.


    "Every time I can cultivate, it is when my consciousness is focused on the Great Sun Jade Platform in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace," Li Yuan thought: "If I hand over the method? It is very likely to jeopardize my safety first."


    "How do I explain the origin of the method? Say that I awakened it?"


    Who would believe that?


    Would he be taken by powerful figures for experiments? Entirely possible.


    Only two seconds.


    Li Yuan had already made up his mind, before he understood the real secret of the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'',


    before he had sufficient strength to protect himself, he mustn''t reveal the secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    "In the future, when I cultivate the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'', I''ll have to be careful not to be detected by anyone." Li Yuan resolved privately.


    "Li Yuan."


    "How do you feel?" Lord Wan smiled, "A Grade B contract is the highest authority I can offer, a cash payment of 9 million Blue Star Coins, resources and treasures worth a total of 9 million Blue Star Coins, plus a total value of ''18 million Blue Star Coins'' in mentorship, Spear Technique Manual, and Origin Power Manual."


    "Granted in six increments over six years."


    "If you''re still not satisfied, I am willing to personally sponsor you a one-time cash bonus of one million." Lord Wan smiled at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan held his breath, suspecting he had heard wrong.


    He had thought a Grade B contract would be good, but never imagined it would be this good.


    The value of 18 million Blue Star Coins in mentorship guidance and manuals not to mention, those things aren''t tangible and their value is quite abstract.


    But just cash + treasures alone already amount to a total value of 18 million Blue Star Coins.


    It''s three times that of a Grade D contract!


    Even if it''s spread over six years, it''s still incredibly extravagant for Li Yuan, a high school senior.


    Moreover, is Lord Wan willing to provide a personal sponsorship of one million Blue Star Coins? In cash?


    Even more unbelievable to Li Yuan.


    Right.


    With a Grade B contract worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins, that''s what the Martial Hall offers, not Lord Wan spending his own money.


    But personal sponsorship means Lord Wan is really forking out his own cash.


    "Phew!"


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, finding it hard to calm down for a long time.


    It wasn''t that Li Yuan wasn''t steady; rather... the offer was simply too generous.


    Lord Wan wasn''t in a hurry either, watching Li Yuan with a smile.


    "Lord Wan."


    Li Yuan finally spoke, "The conditions you offer are indeed so favorable I can''t refuse... It''s just that I still need to discuss it at home."


    "No problem, you''re not of age yet, and to sign the contract early on, your guardian''s signature would be needed anyway," Lord Wan nodded in agreement.


    "Additionally," Li Yuan hesitated, then said: "The Starry Sky Martial Hall approached me two days ago with an early contract signing as well, but it''s just a Grade D contract, I haven''t agreed."


    "I was planning to go talk to them this weekend." Li Yuan chose to tell the truth without exaggeration.


    "The Starry Sky Martial Hall?"


    "Approached you for an early contract signing? How did they?" Now it was Lord Wan''s turn to be stunned.


    Only a second.


    Lord Wan seemed to realize something.


    "Li Yuan, wait a moment." Lord Wan raised his hand to activate his smart ring, quickly searching for something.


    Soon, Lord Wan stopped scrolling through the light screen.


    "So that''s how it is."


    Lord Wan suddenly smiled: "Li Yuan, you have already entered the Blue Star Youth Ranking, I just took office, I didn''t know about this document before."


    "The Blue Star Youth Ranking, originating from the Starry Skies Fighting Network... The Starry Sky Martial Hall really played a good game."


    "They must have discovered it."


    "But with your qualifications, even if you sign early, they should at least offer you a Grade C contract."


    "A Grade D contract? That''s simply an insult to a Martial Path genius like you." Lord Wan shook his head slightly.


    "An insult to me?" Li Yuan was astonished.

 Chapter 34: 32 The Greatest Sincerity

    Insult?


    Li Yuan hadn''t expected Lord Wan to use such a word to describe the Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    Actually, from their initial encounter until now, Li Yuan had a very good impression of Lord Wan... As a Hall Master and a powerful Prime Warrior, he had treated a high school student like himself with nearly equal respect.


    The terms he offered for signing the contract were what Li Yuan considered sky-high.


    How much did his uncle earn over the years of working in the most dangerous regions? Around a million Blue Star Coins annually, at most.


    "Lord Wan... but so far, only the Starry Sky Martial Hall was willing to sign a contract with me in advance," Li Yuan said with a hint of hesitation.


    Li Yuan still felt grateful towards the Starry Sky Martial Hall and Uncle Zhong.


    "Haha, it seems you really don''t understand the details about the Starry Sky Martial Hall," Lord Wan laughed. "Let me have Teacher Xu explain it to you, he understood as soon as I mentioned it."


    Lord Wan did indeed want to press down on the Starry Sky Martial Hall to show his high regard for Li Yuan.


    But he knew even better that to recruit a genius like Li Yuan, signing a contract based on benefits was only the first step; it was best to also cultivate a mutual emotional bond.


    To disclose the truth himself? It would make him seem petty.


    Very soon.


    Lord Wan invited both Teacher Xu and Principal Tan over.


    In front of Li Yuan, Lord Wan quickly clarified the situation to them, openly discussing the Level B contract, talking about Li Yuan''s exceptional talent in spiritual power, and also mentioning the Starry Sky Martial Hall''s private discussion with Li Yuan.


    "Exceptional talent in spiritual power? A Level B contract?" Principal Tan was extremely surprised, looking at Li Yuan in utter shock.


    He, too, was a First Rank 16-level Martial Artist and understood the importance of spiritual power for becoming a Prime Warrior.


    Exceptional talent in spiritual power? Principal Tan had heard of it before but had never seen it.


    It was too rare.


    "Lord Wan, you''re offering a Level B contract? The Starry Sky Martial Hall privately contacted Li Yuan for only a Level D contract?" Upon hearing this, Teacher Xu''s expression changed, revealing a trace of anger, "It''s probably that Song Yi fellow!"


    "Song Yi? The Vice Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall?" Lord Wan pondered. He had just assumed his position and had only met the Chief Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall''s Guan Mountain District branch.


    The Vice Hall Masters? Lord Wan knew their information, but he hadn''t actually met them yet.


    "Yes." Teacher Xu nodded. He had been mixed up in the Guan Mountain District for several years and was familiar with the leaders of the area.


    "Li Yuan."


    Teacher Xu looked towards Li Yuan, who still seemed a bit confused, and spoke softly, "Did you enter the Blue Star Youth Rankings so quickly because you had consecutive duels on the Starry Skies Fighting Network exceeding a hundred matches?"


    "Right," Li Yuan began to understand a bit.


    "You made it into the Blue Star Youth Rankings, and the Martial Arts Hall, Starfire Martial Hall, they only know of this news, but they don''t know your detailed data on the Combat Network," Teacher Xu explained directly. "But the Starry Sky Martial Hall would know, because they directly control the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    The Starry Sky Martial Hall? sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network?


    Li Yuan understood instantly and suddenly realized why only the Starry Sky Martial Hall was willing to sign a contract with him.


    So, there was an information gap?


    "Li Yuan, to think I am the headteacher of your Martial Spirit class, I thought you excelled due to your physical talent, never did I expect you had such exceptional spiritual power..." Teacher Xu shook his head.


    "If it really is Song Yi, based on what I know about her, it is very likely that when you go to the Starry Sky Martial Hall and are in the process of negotiating, she will appear and directly upgrade your contract to a Level C."


    "In doing so..."


    "You would naturally feel grateful to her, and it is very likely you would immediately agree to sign," Teacher Xu looked at Li Yuan. "Once you''ve signed, even if you find out the truth later, first, she hasn''t wronged you, and second, as someone who guided you, she would have many excuses, and you wouldn''t really hold it against her."


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    He had never imagined that there were so many schemes behind a single contract.


    But Teacher Xu was right.


    If the Starry Sky Martial Hall really intended to do so, and there hadn''t been any complications today, he most likely would have agreed to the contract.


    "This Song Yi, she''s too used to playing tricks, now even on my student," said Teacher Xu, his expression growing colder.


    After his injury, his strength never fully recovered, but his strong connections meant that most of the Second Rank Prime Warriors in the Guan Mountain District respected him a great deal.


    To him, Song Yi''s actions were a slap in the face.


    "Li Yuan."


    Lord Wan remained calm, smiling and said, "I invited your principal and Teacher Xu here just to make you understand... the terms I''ve offered for the contract represent my utmost sincerity."


    "I believe that even if your principal reports this to the Martial Arts Hall, the Martial Arts Hall''s special recruitment terms would have difficulty reaching Level B," Lord Wan said openly.


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    "Li Yuan, I will report your situation again, but based on my experience, the Martial Arts Hall will most likely only offer you a Level C contract." Principal Tan nodded and said, "The Martial Arts Hall''s special recruitment is usually much more stringent... The final decision is still in your own hands."


    The special recruitment by the Martial Arts Hall requires much stricter standards?


    Li Yuan was deep in thought.


    "Li Yuan, don''t worry, I will give you time to think it over, to go back and discuss with your family." Lord Wan smiled and said, "The specific details of the contract will be sent to you by your Teacher Xu tonight."


    "Within a month, whenever you''re willing, contact me."


    "My virtual V number is..." Lord Wan said with a smile.


    "Li Yuan, aren''t you going to write it down?" Xu Bo said.


    "Yes." Li Yuan promptly opened his smart wristband, quickly noted it down, and added Lord Wan as a friend.


    Immediately, Li Yuan also realized that this was not Lord Wan''s work V number, but his private number.


    "Alright."


    "Principal Tan, Tie Ta, I only asked the two of you to come here; you should understand my intention," Lord Wan said with a smile.


    Principal Tan and Xu Bo exchanged glances.


    "Mm." Xu Bo nodded, "Rest assured, I will keep it confidential."


    "Lord Wan, rest assured," Principal Tan said solemnly as well.


    "Good, I have other matters to attend to, so I''ll take my leave now."


    "Oh, and Principal Tan, Tie Ta, that Lin Lanyue, if she''s willing, my Starfire Martial Hall can offer her a Level C contract, but her family... Please relay the message to them," Lord Wan said with a smile.


    "Rest assured, Lord Wan," Principal Tan said with a smile.


    Lord Wan nodded, then he turned to Li Yuan, "Young friend Li Yuan, I hope I can see you training at the Starfire Martial Hall."


    Right after that, Lord Wan left the martial arts classroom and headed outside the school.


    After seeing him off to his car.


    Xu Bo took Li Yuan back to his own office.


    "Li Yuan, the terms offered by Lord Wan are quite good," Xu Bo pondered for a moment and said, "If your spiritual power talent is reported, the Martial Arts Hall will definitely recruit you specially, but the conditions won''t be this favorable."


    "Teacher, why not?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    Shouldn''t it be roughly the same?


    "You don''t understand." Xu Bo smiled and said, "The Martial Arts Hall''s special recruitment is funded by taxpayers'' money, and the official audit is extremely strict...


    The folks at the Martial Arts Hall don''t really care if you get the best training; they want political achievements, but they aren''t willing to take responsibility either, so the students they recruit specially are ones they are absolutely sure will succeed."


    Li Yuan understood that without an awakened Martial Spirit, there was too much uncertainty.


    The Martial Arts Hall would not easily take big risks.


    "Actually."


    "Lord Wan''s willingness to give you a Level B contract is most likely related to his recent appointment," Xu Bo said with a smile, "He''s just taken office and certainly wants to achieve something notable."


    "Your contract carries a bit of a gamble."


    "A Level B contract... If you haven''t reached the 16th rank of Martial Artist by the age of 30, he would bear the consequences."


    "Of course, with his strength, he wouldn''t mind that, but if you really choose to sign, you have to live up to the expectations."


    "Signing early is just a way to make your Martial Path progress faster," Xu Bo advised.


    "I understand," Li Yuan nodded.


    If Teacher Xu hadn''t explained, he wouldn''t have known the complex intricacies behind it all.


    Beep¡ª


    Li Yuan''s smart wristband vibrated, indicating an incoming file awaiting receipt.


    "This is the Level B contract sent from Lord Wan, just forwarded to me, he indeed values you, showing the utmost sincerity. Perhaps as soon as he got in the car, he ordered someone to draft it," Xu Bo remarked, then looked at Li Yuan, "It''s almost dinner time."


    "Eat your dinner, don''t go to evening self-study, go home and discuss with your family, and make a decision as soon as possible."


    "Of course, if you want to wait for the results of the Martial Arts Hall''s special recruitment, or want to talk with the Starry Sky Martial Hall again... that''s fine too," Xu Bo hesitated for a moment without fully persuading.


    After all, he was just Li Yuan''s homeroom teacher, not his personal master.


    Such significant life decisions, he could not make directly for Li Yuan.

 Chapter 36: 34: The Rights of Martial Hall Members

    The next morning at half-past ten.


    In the Guanshan branch of the Starfire Martial Hall, on the sixth floor.


    Inside a meeting room decorated quite simply.


    "Li Yuan, sign your name here, here, and here..." the instructor Xing, whom he had met yesterday, pointed out each spot on the contract that required a signature.


    Li Yuan, listening, sat down with his aunt Chen Hui and began to sign his name in each designated place.


    Li Yuan and his aunt had already checked this contract thoroughly last night.


    Everything was clear and there were no issues.


    Once Li Yuan and Chen Hui finished signing, instructor Xing handed the documents to Lord Wan, who was standing by.


    A B-level contract requires the Hall Master''s signature.


    As soon as the signatures were completed, the staff members who had been waiting for a long time immediately took photos and recorded videos.


    They then uploaded the files to the virtual network.


    "Buzz~" Li Yuan''s smart wristband vibrated, he looked down to see a message from the virtual network - the notarized document.


    It was sent by the Martial Arts Hall of Jiangbei Province.


    "Such quick speed," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    "Li Yuan, save a copy of the document. You should have also received the electronic contract in the virtual network, it has been notarized by the Martial Arts Hall,"


    "It officially carries legal effect now." Lord Wan stood up, smiled, and extended his hand, "Welcome, you are now officially a member of the Starfire Martial Hall."


    "Thank you, Lord Wan." Li Yuan stood up to shake hands.


    Li Yuan was extremely grateful to Lord Wan in his heart.


    "According to the contract, each year we will provide you with 1.5 million Blue Star Coins, 1.5 million Martial Hall Points, and 3 million Martial Hall Cultivation Points for six years," Lord Wan said, "Today, the cash will be transferred directly to your card, and the points and cultivation points will be under your name once you complete the ''Martial Hall Member Authentication'' process."


    "Additionally, my personal sponsorship of 1 million Blue Star Coins and 1 million points will also be in place by today, so don''t worry," Lord Wan said with a smile.


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Instructor Xing will handle the specifics for you next," Lord Wan said with a smile. "If there''s anything you don''t understand, or instructor Xing can''t solve, contact me and I''ll help you handle it."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded, his gaze subconsciously shifting to instructor Xing.


    The last two sentences from Lord Wan seemed to be directed at instructor Xing.


    But instructor Xing''s face was filled with smiles, betraying no sign of any emotional changes.


    Straight away,


    Lord Wan exchanged a greeting with Chen Hui and then left with a couple of subordinates.


    "Li Yuan, the contract signing is complete."


    "You''ve just joined Starfire Martial Hall today, so there''s no need to go to school," Xu Bo, who had been silent up until now, spoke in a deep voice. "First get familiar with the environment of the Martial Hall, and come to school tomorrow."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, as he wouldn''t make it in time for the morning cultural classes anyway.


    The afternoon and evening? They were for self-study of Martial Path, which could be done anywhere.


    "Old Xing, I''ll trouble you with this student of mine," Xu Bo said to instructor Xing.


    "No trouble at all," instructor Xing enthusiastically replied. "It''s my honor to guide Li Yuan."


    Now, the meeting room was left with only Li Yuan, his aunt, and the three members of the Martial Hall including instructor Xing.


    "Li Yuan, Ms. Chen," instructor Xing said with a smile. "Follow me, let''s get your identity authentication done first, then I''ll show you around the entire Martial Hall building."


    "Do I need to do it too?" Chen Hui was momentarily stunned.


    "Ms. Chen, normally, when someone joins our Starfire Martial Hall, they can apply for two family cards which also allow the family to enjoy some rights of the Martial Hall," said a black-clad martial artist with a smile. "For example, free lunch and dinner, free weekend Martial Path classes, access to Martial Arts Rooms, complimentary therapies, and so forth."


    Li Yuan felt a silent sense of appreciation.


    He had heard about the numerous benefits for official members of the Martial Hall while in school.


    Now it seemed that just the perks of having a family card were quite valuable.


    "That''s so generous?" Chen Hui first rejoiced, then hesitated, "Are there only two cards available?"


    "Yes, Li Yuan is an L3 level member of the Martial Hall, which comes with the privilege of two family cards," confirmed the black-clad martial artist with a nod.


    "Let''s forget about it, I won''t apply," Chen Hui said, shaking her head.


    She wanted to keep the two spots for Li Muhua and Li Qianqian.


    "Ms. Chen, don''t worry," instructor Xing said with a chuckle. "I''ll gift you two W3 level membership cards. You just need to bind one to yourself; the benefits are the same as the family card''s, for a period of six years,"


    "In six years, Li Yuan might have been promoted to L4 level or even higher, so naturally there will be more family slots available. How does that sound?" instructor Xing said with a smile.


    Chen Hui looked toward Li Yuan.


    "Auntie, instructor Xing means well, accept it," Li Yuan spoke, intuitively understanding the situation.


    This was instructor Xing''s way of showing favor to him.


    Not to accept would actually be impolite.


    ...After completing the identity and membership card authentication, Li Yuan officially became a provisional member of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Chen Hui looked around for a while and then left first.


    Li Yuan was left alone.


    He accompanied instructor Xing to the seventh floor.


    "The whole building."


    "What we saw from the first to the sixth floor are open to the public, such as various auxiliary cultivation treasures for sale, charged therapy rooms, Martial Arts Rooms, Martial Path classes, weapon classes, and so on," instructor Xing introduced to Li Yuan. "Floors seven to twelve are usually only accessible to internal members of the Martial Hall."


    "Among the official members, only L1 and L2 levels are equipped with public Martial Arts Rooms for shared use."


    "For L3 level members, apart from Martial Path geniuses like you who signed a B-level contract, it''s middle management and high-level martial artists, and by high-level I mean at least 16th level," instructor Xing said with a smile. "They are provided with individual Martial Arts Rooms."


    Saying this,


    instructor Xing had led Li Yuan to the front of Martial Arts Room number ''7024'' and, after identity authentication, opened the door.


    Immediately,


    a rather spacious Martial Arts Room appeared in Li Yuan''s line of sight, its area definitely exceeding 400 square meters.


    "So big." Li Yuan''s eyes flickered slightly.


    This was much better than the independent Martial Arts Room at school.


    The area was more than double in size, with a more complete array of technological equipment, as well as dedicated rooms for therapy and rest.


    Even though it still didn''t quite compare to Instructor Xu Bo''s office, it was very close.


    "The background identity authentication has been completed, starting from today, for the next six years, the right to use this Martial Arts Room will belong to you," Instructor Xing said with a smile, "Of course, there''s a one-month trial period, and if you feel uncomfortable, you can request a change."


    "It''s for my use?" Li Yuan felt quite pleased in his heart.


    A six-year usage right, that was enough.


    Ordinary wealthy families, like Wan Xiao''s with assets of at least several tens of millions, could not build such a Martial Arts Room.


    Time passed.


    After having lunch and another hour and a bit, through Instructor Xing''s introduction and explanation, Li Yuan gradually understood the entire workings and personnel structure of the Martial Hall... and what he had to do next.


    "Li Yuan, the specific rules within the Martial Hall are all available on the virtual network," Instructor Xing said with a smile, "If there''s anything unclear, you can come directly to me."


    "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Instructor Xing," Li Yuan said with a smile, "If there''s a chance, I will speak to Lord Wan about this."


    "Haha, thanks a lot," Instructor Xing laughed.


    After seeing the visitor off.


    Li Yuan returned to Martial Arts Room 7024. Though it was a fully enclosed room, the air was exceptionally fresh.


    "My spiritual power matter has been kept confidential; no wonder Instructor Xing doesn''t understand why I could sign a Grade B contract," Li Yuan shook his head secretly, "Maybe he thinks I have some special relationship with Lord Wan, so he is being so cautious."


    Otherwise, as the chief instructor of the entire Guanshan sub hall, with status only below the true and Vice Hall Masters.


    Why be so polite to a high school student like me?


    Suddenly.


    "Ding-dong¡ª" The doorbell rang, and the display screen at the door showed the scene outside.


    It was a meal delivery robot, precisely the meal Li Yuan had ordered ten minutes ago.


    After retrieving his meal, Li Yuan went to the table at the end of the Martial Arts Room to eat.


    "I really am hungry."


    Li Yuan feasted, "Two nutrition meals, only for 40 Points? It''s even better than the nutrition meal at school for 50 Blue Star Coins."


    "Instructor Xing was right, inside the Martial Hall, Points are more useful than equivalent Blue Star Coins."


    ...


    After the meal.


    Li Yuan didn''t rush to cultivate but used the high-level virtual network pod inside the Martial Arts Room.


    Entering the Virtual World.


    "Enter Starfire Space," Li Yuan''s consciousness connected, giving the direct command.


    Hum~ The space transformed.


    "Respected L3 member, welcome to Starfire Space, I am your exclusive AI..." a pleasant voice rang out.


    "Change the steward''s name to ''Little Jade'', with the appearance of an ancient girl," Li Yuan directed immediately.


    "Yes." A girl in purple attire appeared in front of Li Yuan: "Little Jade will serve the master."


    Li Yuan paid her no mind, instead starting to inspect this virtual space that he had just gained access to.


    Starfire Space is the ''exclusive space'' of Starfire Martial Hall.


    Only members and clients of Starfire Martial Hall could enter.


    "My Starfire level." Li Yuan''s gaze fell on the adjacent panel:


    Name: Li Yuan (ID 2042100806492)


    Affiliation: Xia Country¡ªJiangbei Province¡ªJiang City


    Level: L3


    Points: 2,499,960


    Cultivation Points: 2,800,000


    ...


    "2.5 million Points, of which 1.5 million Points are provided by the Grade B contract, and the other 1 million Points were gifted by Lord Wan," Li Yuan silently thought.


    Through consulting the user manual, combined with Instructor Xing''s previous introduction, Li Yuan quickly understood.


    Points, fundamentally, are the internal currency of Starfire Martial Hall, which can be used to purchase various items and services.


    From all sorts of auxiliary cultivation treasures, such as Basic Vitality Potions, First-Rank Vitality Potions, Spirit Nourishing Potions, Origin Power Essence Pills... to all kinds of precious weapons, Spear Technique Manuals, Origin Power Manuals, and so on.


    This was in terms of Martial Arts Cultivation.


    In daily life aspects, such as financial management, renting or buying villas, purchasing luxury cars, private jets, yachts, legal representation, buying daily necessities, priority hospital beds... everything connected to life, the Martial Hall could help to solve.


    The prerequisite is, you are willing to spend enough Points.


    "Points, in many affairs, indeed are more useful than money," Li Yuan reflected in his heart. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The experiences of the day had a great impact on him, truly opening up Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Letting him have an initial contact with... the world of a Martial Artist.


    "Earning Points, one way is to take office, to hold a position in the Martial Hall, and like a salary, you receive an amount every month," Li Yuan thought quietly, "The second way is to complete various tasks for the Martial Hall, like going into the Star Realm..."


    Li Yuan only glanced over and didn''t focus on the methods of obtaining Points.


    It was temporarily unrelated to him.


    "Me, a little guy with only 7th Level Physical Quality, what Points can I earn?"


    "I''m merely a reserved member, not yet a formal member."


    "The Martial Hall let me in just to spend money."


    "What I need to do now," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled, "is to use the Points and money gifted to me by the Martial Hall."


    "To improve my family and... enhance my strength," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled, "Strive to get into one of the top five prestigious schools and become a Martial Artist."

 Chapter 37: 35 Training Plan

    After communicating with Teacher Xu and Instructor Xing,


    Li Yuan understood that signing a contract in advance didn''t mean he could forgo attending university.


    An early contract was essentially an investment by the Martial Hall; they would provide Li Yuan with some guidance in his cultivation but wouldn''t cover everything.


    For him, the best path was still to take the college entrance exam and attend a Martial Arts University.


    "According to Teacher Xu, the Martial Hall is a gathering place for martial artists and in the grand scheme of human civilization, its role is to be combat-ready, not necessarily to nurture talent,"


    "What the Martial Hall needs more is immediate combat power," Li Yuan mused quietly, "The responsibility for nurturing lies with the Martial Arts University. That''s where the most comprehensive training for martial artists is available."


    "Be it the nation or the Seven Star Alliance, all sorts of precious resources are poured into Martial Arts Universities."


    "Many invaluable resources are provided for free in universities, but inside the Martial Hall, you have to spend a fortune to acquire them."


    "Even some priceless resources aren''t available in the Martial Hall."


    Attending a Martial Arts University would mean receiving the best martial artists'' education.


    Many top martial artists would take turns serving and mentoring students at various Martial Arts Universities.


    "Only through systematic study at a Martial Arts University can one proceed more steadily and farther on the path of a martial artist," Li Yuan didn''t dare overestimate himself.


    It''s true he had awoken the Mind Spirit Divine Palace by chance, but the more he saw, the more he realized how insignificant he was.


    "Just like uncle said,"


    "On the road to growth, sometimes you need the support of influential people, and sometimes you need opportunities," Li Yuan murmured, "Teacher Xu is my benefactor."


    "Signing a contract early with Starfire Martial Hall is my opportunity."


    "What I need to do is to make good use of them to help me enter a broader domain."


    ...


    Inside the Starfire Space,


    "Little Jade, weren''t my cultivation points 3 million?" Li Yuan asked in confusion, "Why does it show 2.8 million now?"


    "Master,"


    "As an L3-level member, you enjoy many privileges from the Martial Hall every year, like the family card and your exclusive Martial Arts Room... You have to pay 200,000 points for these, which are automatically deducted," the girl in purple said playfully, "Cultivation points are unique to martial arts prodigies who have signed early contracts."


    "They work similarly to points but can only be used to purchase non-physical martial arts cultivation services."


    "The 200,000 points you need to deduct will be taken first from your cultivation points," the girl in purple added.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    If points are considered the internal currency of the Martial Hall, then cultivation points... are like ''coupons'' for early signees, with many restrictions.


    "It can only be used for paying annual fees, mentorship from famous teachers, skill secret manuals, Origin Power manuals, cultivation video tutorials..." Li Yuan browsed the uses of cultivation points.


    All of which were non-physical.


    "No wonder the Martial Hall is so generous," Li Yuan muttered, "3 million cultivation points? In name, they''re worth 3 million Blue Star Coins, but items like various secret manuals and cultivation videos... the Martial Hall could recreate numerous copies if they were willing, with almost zero cost."


    Some cultivation resources, being replicable, aren''t genuinely precious, so the Martial Hall can afford to be more generous with them. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But physical resources, like qi and blood elixirs, truly require a substantial use of resources to create, so the Martial Hall would strictly control the distribution of these.


    Of course, even though cultivation points aren''t as good as points, they''re still quite useful.


    ...


    "The higher the rank within the Martial Hall, the greater the privileges and the fewer points needed for the same services?" Li Yuan examined the Starfire ranking explanations, "At L3 level, I''m not doing too badly among all Martial Hall members."


    He learned this after talking with Instructor Xing.


    L1 level is for trial members.


    L2 is the rank for most members of the Martial Hall. At this level, the members, mostly martial artists under level 15, and those with D-tier or C-tier preliminary contracts, fall under this category.


    L3 usually consists of basic-level Martial Hall managers or members on preliminary B-tier contracts.


    To reach L4 or L5 levels, one usually has to be a Second Rank Prime Warrior.


    For someone like Lord Wan, he''s an L5-level member.


    "Unless I upgrade to an A-tier contract, I''ll remain an L3-level member until I become a Second Rank Prime Warrior," Li Yuan reviewed the requirements for his B-tier contract.


    Want to move up in Starfire ranks? It depends on your innate talent and strength, as well as your contributions to the Martial Hall.


    Provisional members with an A-tier contract belong to L4 level.


    And S-tier contract''s provisional members? Directly L5 level members!


    If Li Yuan wished to move from a B-tier to an A-tier contract? According to the contract stipulations, there are three ways to do that.


    "First, awaken the Martial Spirit."


    "Second, get into Starfire University."


    "Third, reach the Fallen Star rank with 300 points on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18." Li Yuan frowned slightly.


    The first and second routes were nearly the same in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    "If I can awaken the Martial Spirit and get a 10% score bonus, with eight months of hard work and training, my chances of getting into Starfire University are extremely high." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Without awakening the Spiritual Nature, the chances of getting into Starfire University are basically zero."


    Starfire University is globally known as one of the top three elite martial schools, alongside Starry Sky University and Black Stone University.


    From their names alone, one can hear the inseparable relationship these top three elite martial schools have with the three major Martial Halls.


    The difficulty of gaining admission to them is far higher than the top five famous schools of Xia Country.


    The top five famous schools of Xia Country together enroll about ten thousand students each year within the country.


    Looking globally, there are more than a dozen Martial Arts Universities comparable to Xia Country''s top five.


    However, as far as Li Yuan knew, Starfire University only enrolls less than a thousand students globally each year, and no more than three hundred within Xia Country.


    Those in Xia Country who can gain admission to one of the top three elite martial schools are, with few exceptions for specially recruited students, at least among the top ten martial talents of their province.


    "Legend has it, those who successfully graduate from Starfire University are mostly Second Rank Prime Warriors." Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Provincial Martial Arts Universities, the top five famous schools of Xia Country, and the top three elite global martial schools... these represent three distinct levels.


    "Martial Path grades, top ten in the province?"


    It''s not that Li Yuan didn''t dare to dream, but without awakening the Martial Spirit, was he supposed to just wish for it?


    Even if Li Yuan were to score 1000 points in his Martial Arts Skills, it would still be hard to break into the top ten of his province.


    The others have a total score of 1100 points.


    One must be realistic in life.


    "My score isn''t even in the top ten within my school year, let alone the whole province." Li Yuan didn''t ponder further, "Compared to the first two routes, the third one seems more realistic."


    Reaching the Fallen Star rank with 300 points on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18.


    This path was difficult as well, but considering the rate of improvement in Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Skills, there was a glimmer of hope.


    ...


    After clarifying everything.


    Li Yuan spoke softly, "Xiao Yu, I need a training guidance plan tailored for me."


    "Okay."


    "First, please fill out your personal information again, and be sure to provide accurate details," Xiao Yu said. "This way, the Martial Hall''s intelligent system can make the best plan."


    Hu~


    With a wave of Xiao Yu''s hand, a light screen immediately appeared.


    It displayed many fields waiting to be filled out.


    Age, gender, Life Level, Fist Strength, Burst Speed, weapon used, Martial Arts Skills, Cultivation Techniques... there were more than a hundred items.


    "The Martial Hall should have my information, but it probably wants to double-check," Li Yuan thought, as he filled out each item.


    With the Divine Palace panel at his disposal, the accuracy of the information Li Yuan provided was destined to be far beyond what other reserve members could offer.


    "Please wait a moment, Master," Xiao Yu said. "I am requesting to utilize the intelligent resources to develop a cultivation plan for you."


    Ten minutes later.


    "Master, it is complete," Xiao Yu announced. "Please review it."


    Weng~


    Quickly, a huge light screen appeared in front of Li Yuan, filled with densely packed text and explanations.


    "To aid the improvement of physical quality, the main recommendation is to take a Basic Blood Medicine every two days... Due to the lack of high-rank Cultivation Techniques, one must take at least one Essence Pill of Origin Power per month." Li Yuan read the first item, "The monthly cost is about 130,000 Blue Star Coins/points."


    "Basic Spirit-Nourishing Elixirs, three bottles a month, cost about 90,000 Blue Star Coins/points..."


    "Deep Medicinal Baths, once every ten days, with a monthly cost of about 30,000 Blue Star Coins/points..."


    "Purchase the Second Rank Spear Technique ''Stellar Spear Technique'' for 1 million Cultivation Points."


    "Purchase the Second Rank movement technique ''Dragon Movement Technique'' for 1 million Cultivation Points."


    "For mentorship, hire a Second Rank Prime Warrior to provide guidance on spear technique and movement technique once a month, each session costing 100,000 Cultivation Points/points/Blue Star Coins..."

 Chapter 38: 36: Essence Pill of Origin Power (Three more for monthly votes and followers)

    According to the information provided by Li Yuan, the intelligent system used its vast database to come up with a very detailed training plan.


    It was also highly targeted.


    Moreover, for every plan it formulated, there was an extremely detailed explanation, explaining the reasons.


    After reading through the entire thing.


    Li Yuan had to admit that the intelligent system''s analysis made a lot of sense.


    "AI intelligence based on big data is indeed extraordinary," Li Yuan reflected internally.


    The only problem was that the plan was very costly.


    "If I follow this full set of plans by the intelligent system, I''d have to spend about 400,000 Blue Star Coins/Points each month," Li Yuan calculated and felt his scalp tingle: "That''s nearly 5 million a year."


    How much were the Blue Star Coins and points given by the Martial Hall in total?


    3 million a year.


    It wasn''t until this moment that Li Yuan truly understood what his uncle Li Changzhou had said.


    Full-time Martial Path?


    No money? What Martial Arts can you practice?


    To become a strong Martial Artist, you have to pay a hefty sum.


    "I''m not even an Entry Rank Warrior yet, and if I become a First Rank Warrior, the costs will only get higher," Li Yuan shook his head slightly. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Of course, Li Yuan was also aware that the training plan provided by the intelligent system belonged to the very high-end category.


    It could assist in maximizing the efficiency of the enhancement of Physical Quality, Martial Arts Skills, and spiritual power.


    Improving all three aspects together would greatly increase the hopes of becoming a Prime Warrior in the future.


    The only problem was the cost.


    Even for wealthy families like Wan Xiao''s, they probably would only dare to engage in this kind of spending during the sprint phase of the High Third Rank.


    "Lin Lanyue''s family background seems better than Wan Xiao''s, maybe her cultivation resources can reach that level," Li Yuan sighed internally: "No wonder her progress far exceeds that of other students."


    Decent talent, effort, plus the boost from resources.


    How can an ordinary person compare with Lin Lanyue?


    "My advantage lies in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace," Li Yuan pondered: "With the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,'' not only can I rapidly increase spiritual power, but I can also experience deep sleep, eliminating all fatigue, worth the highest level of physical therapy."


    The rapid enhancement of Li Yuan''s Physical Quality owed much to the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.''


    "Therefore, items such as Spirit Nourishing Potion, top-tier physical therapy... these can all be discarded," Li Yuan decided.


    If he were to purchase and use them, perhaps the training efficiency would be higher.


    But then again, who asked Li Yuan to be poor?


    "Being poor, I have to choose the most cost-effective method."


    Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the other items: "That way, the main expenses that require points are threefold: first is the enhancement of Physical Quality, Basic Vitality Potion, Origin Power Essence Pill."


    "Another item is the Deep Medicinal Bath."


    "Then there''s sparring practice, accompanied by a Level 15 Warrior, twice a week, costing 20,000 Blue Star Coins each week," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Adding all that up.


    In a month, it would cost approximately 240,000 Blue Star Coins/Points.


    With that, by the time of the college entrance exam in June next year, the total cost would be around 2 million Blue Star Coins/Points.


    "The next gift from the Martial Hall won''t be until October next year," Li Yuan thought: "Moreover, I also need to save some points for after becoming an Entry Rank Warrior."


    After entering the university, there will be many cultivation resources from the school, but they are not yet in sight!


    Li Yuan had to plan for himself.


    "As for Cultivation Points, Spear Technique, movement technique, guidance from a master, I will ask Teacher Xu when I go back to school," Li Yuan decided.


    Time slipped away by the minute and the second.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan received two bank alerts, directly displayed on the virtual network.


    "Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,000,000.00 Blue Star Coins..."


    "Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,200,000.00 Blue Star Coins..."


    Two deposit notifications.


    "Hmm? Two sums of money, one should be the gift from Lord Wan, and the other should be the contract reward from the Martial Hall." Li Yuan felt slightly puzzled, "But why is the contract reward 1.2 million Blue Star Coins?"


    "Could it be that another 300,000 Blue Star Coins are still owed to me?"


    Li Yuan was about to inquire with Xiao Yu.


    "Master, this year''s cash reward from the Martial Hall has been deposited according to the contract. All contract rewards for the 2042-2043 fiscal year have been fully accounted for," Xiao Yu took the initiative to speak.


    "Why is the cash from the contract reward short by 300,000?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Taxes!"


    "Such contract rewards from the Martial Hall are made through a public account and are subject to state supervision. Taxation is mandatory, and the Martial Hall has already paid it on your behalf. Master, you can check this in the virtual tax space," Xiao Yu immediately explained. "Normally, for large income like this, any amount exceeding 1 million must have an income tax of up to 50% deducted."


    "However, contract rewards are considered privileged income, and there are tax reliefs from the state, so only 20% is deducted."


    "Reminder, Master, you must not evade or under-report taxes. Once discovered, the fine starts at ten times the amount," Xiao Yu said cheerfully.


    "But rest assured, Master, the other 1 million Blue Star Coins are a private gift and not subject to tax," Xiao Yu added.


    "As for points, cultivation points, they are internally disbursed by the Martial Hall, covered by the Martial Hall''s running costs... The Martial Hall will handle the tax calculation and payment, so Master doesn''t need to worry about that," Xiao Yu informed.


    Li Yuan was already feeling overwhelmed.


    Taxes?


    300,000 Blue Star Coins just gone like that? Li Yuan felt a sting of pain.


    He fell silent for a while.


    "That''s right, taxes should be paid." Li Yuan consoled himself inwardly, "With the wars in the Star Realm, basic infrastructure, education, civil welfare... the state needs funds. Paying taxes is the duty of every citizen."


    Since childhood, Li Yuan had been educated in such a manner.


    In the past, it was just slogans, but this time he truly understood.


    "For cultivation, best to use points," he decided.


    "Cash, after all, has a wider range of uses," Li Yuan thought to himself, with a hint of anticipation, "Moreover, it''s time to give some cash to Auntie."


    He had worked hard for so long, if not for today?


    Relieving his family''s financial stress had always been one of Li Yuan''s motivations.


    ...


    Li Yuan didn''t stay too long at the Starfire Martial Hall. By four in the afternoon, he had already returned to school.


    He found Xu Bo in his office.


    "Back so soon?" Xu Bo was a bit surprised and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"


    "The Martial Hall is very good," said Li Yuan sincerely.


    "The Martial Hall''s conditions for cultivation have always been top-notch," Xu Bo said with a smile, "You''ve come back to me so quickly; there must be something you need, right?"


    "Yes," Li Yuan confirmed.


    "I''d like to ask for Teacher''s guidance," Li Yuan said respectfully, and he promptly relayed the cultivation plan from the intelligent system to Teacher Xu.


    "The cultivation plan made for you by the AI is very comprehensive. It''s just that they are all quite costly, and you do not have enough wealth to afford all of them, so you must choose the ones with the best cost-effectiveness," Xu Bo advised. "I''ll just point out two things."


    "Please, Teacher," Li Yuan listened attentively.


    "Firstly, try your best to exchange for the Basic Source Energy Essence Pills," Xu Bo said gravely.


    "The cultivation plan suggests taking one pill a month, but in reality, it''s best to see how much your body can handle... If your body can withstand it, taking two pills a month is optimal."


    "The Basic Source Energy Essence Pills are expensive, costing 100,000 Blue Star Coins each," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and continued, "But their effects are extremely good."


    "You haven''t awakened your Martial Spirit and cannot practice high-rank cultivation methods. Taking the Essence Pill can greatly make up for this drawback."


    "Your physical talent is already formidable."


    "If the results are good enough..."


    "By the time of the college entrance exam, your Physical Quality could be elevated to 8.5 or even 9.0 level, surpassing Lin Lanyue is a possibility," Xu Bo said earnestly.


    Li Yuan''s eyes flickered with excitement, suddenly feeling a rush of aspiration.


    But he also felt a wave of pressure.


    He had become a millionaire, so why did it feel like he was poorer than ever?

 Chapter 39: 37 The Magical Origin Power

    "Two pills a month?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Basic Source Energy Essence Pills cost 100,000 Blue Star Coins/Points each, and if he were to take two, it would greatly increase his monthly budget.


    "You haven''t taken Source Energy Essence Pills before, have you?" Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.


    "No." Li Yuan shook his head. His family couldn''t afford such precious cultivation treasures.


    Families like his uncle and aunt, who could provide their children with basic vitality potions on a long-term basis, were already in the minority.


    Source Energy Essence Pills? Only billionaires would dare to purchase and use them regularly.


    "Then let me explain to you that Source Energy Essence Pills are essentially substitutes for High Rank Cultivation Methods," Xu Bo said. "Do you know the fundamental difference between Basic Cultivation Methods and High Rank Cultivation Methods?"


    "Cultivation efficiency," said Li Yuan.


    "That''s the outcome, not the reason," Xu Bo said. "Basic Cultivation Methods efficiently absorb the energy produced from the food we eat, thus promoting life''s progress."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod.


    The modern human being''s most fundamental difference from the traditional martial arts of the past lies in the Cultivation Methods.


    They are the keys to unlocking life evolution.


    "But Basic Cultivation Methods have their limits," Xu Bo continued. "No matter how strong our digestive system is, we can eat ten pounds of nutritious meals a day, but can we eat a hundred pounds?"


    "We can''t," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "Right, even with high-energy food, there will be impurities, and eating too much would be more than the body can handle," Xu Bo continued. "But for a powerful Martial Artist, not to mention pushing the body to evolve further, even to maintain the body''s state requires massive energy consumption."


    "It''s like an electric car, the more powerful it is, the more electricity it consumes."


    "Like me, your teacher."


    Boom!


    With one step, Xu Bo moved as if a phantom, the air instantly exploding, the airflow surging into wind.


    Xu Bo stopped at the other end of the office.


    "This?"


    "Is this what a 19th rank Martial Artist is like?" Li Yuan watched, holding his breath, a hint of excitement in his heart.


    He was certain that Teacher Xu just now erupted with a burst speed definitely exceeding 50 meters per second.


    To know, this was an on-the-spot burst, not Xu Bo''s maximum burst speed.


    This was what truly powerful Martial Artists were like.


    Xu Bo walked back slowly and said as he walked, "Every day, to maintain my strong body, if I relied only on eating, I would have to consume several tens of pounds of high-energy food."


    "This is still in urban life, if I were to fight with Star Realm Creatures, the consumption would be greater, two hundred pounds of high-energy food wouldn''t be enough."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    He thought of elephants and giraffes, which spent most of their day eating.


    If they exercised, their consumption would be even greater.


    "That''s why we have produced vitality potions," Xu Bo said. "Vitality potions are essentially extracted from food, easier for the body to absorb, and almost free from impurities, though they come at a costly price."


    "By taking them, one can reduce the demand for food."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    By using vitality potions, the burden of eating would be reduced and the efficiency of cultivation could be at least doubled.


    "But as one progresses, becoming a 15th rank Martial Artist or even stronger, vitality potions alone are no longer enough."


    "In recent decades, Source Energy Essence Pills have emerged, allowing us to directly absorb Origin Power."


    "What is Origin Power?"


    "Since the alteration of the Six Great Star Bridges hundreds of years ago, the most mysterious energy ''Origin Power'' appeared in the Starry Sky," Xu Bo said, somewhat emotionally. "Once we can absorb Origin Power, the speed of our body''s evolution will increase tenfold, a hundredfold."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Origin Power was exceedingly magical.


    Powerful Martial Artists could, in just a few decades, achieve flying through the heavens and the earth, and even walk out unscathed from the center of a nuclear explosion... all because they absorbed Origin Power and promoted their body''s evolution.


    With the body of a human, they rivalled the Divine.


    "There are three methods to absorb Origin Power."


    "First is to have a Physical Quality of at least 19th rank, with sufficiently profound skills, and a perfect unity of body, mind, and intent to barely perceive Origin Power and achieve initial absorption," Xu Bo said gravely. "This is the most primitive absorption method, very inefficient, but the first generation of Martial Artists became strong step by step using this method."


    "Later on."


    "As the number of Martial Artists grew more and more, and became stronger and stronger, the first High Rank Cultivation Technique was finally deduced, drastically increasing the efficiency of absorbing Origin Power by more than ten times," Xu Bo said. "Subsequent techniques, the second, the third¡­ until now, our human civilization has developed seven major High Rank Cultivation Methods."


    ```


    "Even ordinary people can achieve preliminary absorption of Origin Power and greatly increase the efficiency of enhancing their Physical Quality if they resonate with corresponding High Rank Cultivation Methods." Xu Bo said with a hint of regret as he looked at Li Yuan.


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan understood what Teacher Xu meant.


    ```


    ```


    Awakening Martial Spirit wasn''t as mystical as the ''Spirit Root'' depicted in novels.


    ```


    ```


    Its essence is about compatibility with the seven High Rank Cultivation Methods.


    ```


    ```


    A compatibility over 85% is considered an awakening.


    ```


    ```


    Why does human civilization place such immense importance on Martial Spirit? Because ordinary people who practice High Rank Cultivation Methods can gradually absorb the Origin Power from the universe to strengthen their bodies.


    ```


    ```


    As a result, the efficiency of Life Evolution spikes, and the hope of becoming a Prime Warrior greatly increases.


    ```


    ```


    This is why the students in the Elite Class generally possess formidable physical qualities.


    ```


    ```


    Secondly, Origin Power exists everywhere in the Starry Sky of the universe.


    ```


    ```


    It is not only much more potent than any medicament for Qi and blood, but also inexhaustible, saving a vast amount of resources for the entire human civilization.


    ```


    ```


    "Absorbing Origin Power through High Rank Cultivation Methods is the second method, and it''s the best method," Xu Bo shook his head, "but you can''t do it now... Li Yuan, if you want to absorb the Origin Power from the universe on your own, you can only use the most primitive absorption method."


    ```


    ```


    "That would require your Physical Quality to be elevated to level 19."


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ```


    ```


    Not absorbing Origin Power yet raising your Physical Quality to level 19? You can imagine how difficult that would be.


    ```


    ```


    You must resort to a great deal of external resources.


    ```


    ```


    "Of course, if you become an incredibly powerful Prime Warrior in the future, you might be able to create a High Rank Cultivation Method that suits yourself."


    ```


    ```


    "Even to create High Rank Cultivation Methods that a large number of ordinary people can practice." Xu Bo said emotionally, "In doing so, you would become a significant benefactor to human civilization."


    ```


    ```


    "The world''s number one Martial Artist, ''Dongfang Ji'', once said that every person is uniquely endowed and should have a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method."


    ```


    ``` S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "If our human civilization could give birth to a hundred High Rank Cultivation Techniques, then everyone will find a High Rank Cultivation Method that suits them from their youth, and the concept of Martial Spirit would no longer exist."


    ```


    ```


    "By then, the speed at which Martial Artists are born in our human civilization will be more than ten times faster than it is now," Xu Bo quoted Dongfang Ji, "and this will require generations of Martial Artists to struggle and strive for."


    ```


    ```


    "A hundred High Rank Cultivation Methods?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    ```


    ```


    Human civilization, from the era of Life Evolution, has only spawned seven universal High Rank Cultivation Methods in nearly two hundred years.


    ```


    ```


    However, compared to the three High Rank Cultivation Methods more than eighty years ago,


    ```


    ```


    the pace at which Martial Artists are born in this era has increased several times.


    ```


    ```


    The more Martial Artists there are, the larger the base, the increased number of powerful Martial Artists, which in turn accelerates the speed at which High Rank Cultivation Methods are created.


    ```


    ```


    This cycle is virtuous.


    ```


    ```


    And it constantly strengthens human civilization.


    ```


    ```


    "The third method to absorb Origin Power is through Essence Pills; this emerged in the last two to three decades," Xu Bo explained, "Essence Pills contain traces of Origin Power, which can be absorbed immediately upon consumption."


    ```


    ```


    "It''s just that Origin Power is domineering."


    ```


    ```


    "Without the aid of High Rank Cultivation Methods to help with the assimilation, the absorption will be very difficult," Xu Bo said, "Therefore, an ordinary person should suffice with one pill a month."


    ```


    ```


    "Your natural Physical Quality actually belongs to the very top tier; it''s just that you don''t have a fitting High Rank Cultivation Method." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with a touch of regret, "And with your strong spiritual power, perhaps you could manage two pills per month."


    ```


    ```


    "Thank you for the guidance, Teacher," Li Yuan nodded and replied with a candid smile, "If I don''t have a High Rank Cultivation Method that suits me."


    ```


    ```


    "Then in the future, I will strive to create one."


    ```


    ```


    "Ha ha," Xu Bo laughed upon hearing this, "That''s the spirit; your Teacher awaits."


    ```


    ```


    ...


    ```


    ```


    "This ''Stellar Spear Technique'', along with the ''Dragon Movement Technique'', are inherited from the same lineage as the ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique'', which I suggest you switch to," Xu Bo continued, "Both of these Secret Manuals are highly reputed among Martial Artists, pointing directly to the Fifth Stage of skill."


    ```


    ```


    "Pointing directly to the Fifth Stage of skill?" Li Yuan pondered.


    ```


    ```


    His own skill was only at the Third Stage.


    ```


    ```


    "Teacher, can''t you teach me a Second Rank Secret Manual?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    ```


    ```


    "Me?" Xu Bo was first taken aback and then he smiled, "Indeed, I have practiced many Second Rank Secret Manuals, covering Spear Techniques, Sword Techniques, and movement techniques."


    ```


    ```


    "But I can''t teach you," Xu Bo shook his head, "Have you not noticed that I''ve never advised you to practice a Second Rank Secret Manual?"


    ```


    ```


    "Why not?" Li Yuan was astonished.


    ```


    ```


    "I only have the right to learn, not the right to instruct." Xu Bo explained, "Like the Fist Techniques, Spear Techniques, and movement techniques you are currently studying¡ªall of these are First Rank Secret Manuals, suitable for students with First Stage and Second Stage skills."


    ```


    ```


    "A vast number of First Rank Secret Manuals and Cultivation Methods are completely public and free for all citizens."


    ```


    ```


    "But from the Second Rank Secret Manuals onwards, there are copyrights," Xu Bo said, "They must be purchased before they can be used."


    ```

 Chapter 40: 38 Xu Bos Assistance

    "If you don''t have a purchase record and are caught learning or spreading it, you will be found guilty of violating the law."


    "Once verified, you will be punished jointly by the Martial Arts Hall and the Culture Hall, starting at ten times the cost," Xu Bo shook his head and said, "In serious cases, you might even be sent to prison."


    Prison? Li Yuan held his breath.


    "Teacher, could this approach be detrimental to the evolution of human civilization''s martial path?" Li Yuan hesitated slightly, "What about the poor?"


    No money, no right to learn high-rank skill secret manuals?


    "Your thoughts are correct, indeed this is somewhat unfair to the poor," Teacher Xu said, "Copyright protection is a double-edged sword."


    "Too much protection can stifle innovation."


    "But without any protection, innovation can also be stifled," Teacher Xu said, "Therefore, after many social experiments, the current situation has been established."


    "Cultivation methods, whether basic or high-rank, are completely open, and a large number of first-rank secret manuals are also completely free."


    "This is enough to allow ordinary people to try the martial path for free," Teacher Xu said.


    "For most people, reaching the third stage in skill would be extremely difficult."


    "If one truly is a martial path genius," Teacher Xu said, "with astonishing talent for technique or an extraordinary body, then the nation or even the Seven Star Alliance have various channels to find talents, providing cultivation resources for free."


    "Striving to discover all martial path geniuses is the purpose of all human civilization forces."


    "Like you, being offered a contract by the Martial Hall in advance is one of the channels for discovery," Teacher Xu smiled and said, "Similarly, students at Martial Arts University have free access to many second-rank and even third-rank secret manuals in the ''Martial Knowledge Web''."


    "The cost of the secret manual royalties is paid by the nation on behalf of Martial Arts University students."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    The nation, or rather the whole of human civilization, had long considered this point.


    "With copyright fees."


    "Under the drive of interest, powerful martial artists are more motivated to create new skill secret manuals and cultivation methods," Teacher Xu said, "Paying copyright fees is also an encouragement for martial artists to share their creations instead of hoarding them."


    "With mutual exchanges, every martial artist can learn the fruits of others'' wisdom, and they would grow faster."


    Teacher Xu looked at Li Yuan and said, "In the future, if you create some powerful skill secret manuals, you can also upload them to the Culture Hall and collect copyright fees."


    "You can make money while sitting at home."


    Li Yuan smiled, his mind drifting to the many unique skills and teachings in history that were passed on to only one or two people per generation and would be lost if any mishaps occurred.


    The continuous strengthening of human civilization comes from the passing down of knowledge from generation to generation.


    The martial path is the same.


    "With your current martial arts realm, learning two second-rank secret manuals is enough," Teacher Xu instructed, "Wait until your spear technique and movement technique both break through to the fourth level, then it won''t be too late to learn more second-rank secret manuals."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    Without a high enough martial arts realm, trying to learn everything without mastering anything is a joke.


    "Of course."


    "In your cultivation plan, the monthly guidance from a master doesn''t need to be included," Teacher Xu said, "My guidance will suffice."


    "If you''ve purchased the copyright to a manual, my guidance won''t count as a copyright infringement."


    "Not seeking guidance from a Prime Warrior?" Li Yuan hesitated slightly.


    Getting guidance from Teacher Xu was undoubtedly a great opportunity, but Teacher Xu was only 19th level.


    Could he really match the guidance of a second-rank Prime Warrior?


    "What, you doubt your teacher?" Teacher Xu, seeing through Li Yuan''s thoughts, revealed a smile, "Rest assured, my martial arts realm is not weaker than most Prime Warriors, if back then... Never mind, let''s not talk about that."


    Teacher Xu suddenly sighed, his smile fading, seemingly with a hint of lost interest.


    "Teacher, I was wrong," Li Yuan quickly apologized.


    "It''s not your fault, it has nothing to do with you," Teacher Xu shook his head, then continued, "From now on, on Wednesday evenings in my office, I will guide you once in spear technique and movement technique."


    "No extra charge."


    "Thank you, Teacher," Li Yuan felt grateful in his heart.


    Once a week?


    "However, the twice-a-week martial artist sparring sessions for actual combat, you need to find someone yourself," Teacher Xu said, "I don''t have that much time."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    Having the teacher personally take time out to guide him in spear technique and movement technique was very fortunate.


    He couldn''t ask for more.


    You should know that to invite a second-rank Prime Warrior for guidance would cost 100,000 cultivation points for just one session.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Teacher Xu frowned deeply, gritting his teeth, showing a look of pain.


    "What''s wrong, Teacher?" Li Yuan was shocked.


    "It''s nothing," Teacher Xu said somberly, his voice even seemed a bit shaky, "An old problem from the battlefield."


    "Alright, that''s enough."


    "Martial arts cultivation, no matter how much guidance you receive, ultimately relies on your own practice," Teacher Xu said.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll just take some medicine and it will be fine, you should go back, and think it over," Teacher Xu said, enduring the pain.


    "Yes," Li Yuan left with worry in his heart.


    But he was smart and noticed that Teacher Xu didn''t want to show his vulnerability in front of him.


    Once Li Yuan left the office.


    "The effects of the medicine are lasting shorter and shorter," Teacher Xu clenched his teeth, "I couldn''t help but use Origin Power to demonstrate to Li Yuan just now, and it accelerated the onset."


    Teacher Xu slowly walked to the rest area, taking out a delicately packaged small bottle from the refrigerator.


    He opened it and took the medication.


    The pain in his body quickly eased.


    "It''s unknown how many more years I can live," Xu Bo murmured, a hint of ferocity in his eyes, "If I''m really close to death, I will apply to return to the Star Realm."


    "I, Xu Bo,"


    "if I am to die, must die on the battlefield."


    It was quite a while before Xu Bo entirely recovered. Suddenly his smart ring vibrated with an unread message.


    "Hmm? A message from Li Yuan? Asking about my health?" Xu Bo felt a touch of warmth in his heart, "This kid, he does care."


    Xu Bo guessed that if he didn''t respond, Li Yuan would likely come to his office to check on him again.


    "Black Dog,"


    "reply to Li Yuan saying I''m fine," Xu Bo said sternly.


    "Yes, Master."


    ...


    "It''s good that Teacher is fine," Li Yuan, in the school''s independent Martial Arts Room, received Xu Bo''s reply.


    He turned off his smart ring.


    "Let''s enter the virtual network." Li Yuan entered the virtual network capsule beside him.


    Connecting consciousness, he directly arrived in the Starfire Space.


    "Master," a purple-clad young girl appeared out of thin air.


    "Use Cultivation Points to purchase the Second Rank Secrets Manual ''Dragon Movement Technique'' and the Second Rank Secrets Manual ''Stellar Spear Technique''," Li Yuan immediately said, "Also, exchange points for an Origin Power Essence Pill."


    Basic vitality medicine? There were still a few bottles at home, no rush to buy them.


    "Master, please confirm the purchase list." Xiao Yu waved her hand, and a screen appeared in front of Li Yuan, listing the items.


    Li Yuan glanced over and confirmed they were correct.


    "Confirmed."


    Quickly,


    "Obtained use rights for the Second Rank Secrets Manual ''Dragon Movement Technique'', registered in the Martial Arts Hall and Culture Hall, inquiry code is... 1 million Cultivation Points deducted."


    "Obtained use rights for the Second Rank Secrets Manual ''Stellar Spear Technique''... 1 million Cultivation Points deducted."


    "Received one Origin Power Essence Pill, please fill in the delivery address... 100,000 points deducted." S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan directly received three reminders from ''Starfire Space''.


    "Delivery address, let''s go with home," Li Yuan pondered a moment, "As for the delivery time, let it be ten o''clock tonight."


    As a Martial Hall L3 level member, he could have delivery within 24 hours.


    "Master, the Origin Power Essence Pill will be delivered to your door tomorrow," Xiao Yu said cheerfully, "According to copyright law, all Secret Manuals above the Second Rank must be studied in the virtual space; there are no physical copies."


    "Master, you now have access to all the data of the Secret Manuals and may choose to enter your personal space to study."


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If there were physical manuals, private dissemination would be too easy. If disseminated through the virtual network?


    The entire virtual network is under the supervision of human civilization.


    "I have to see just how impressive these Second Rank Secrets Manuals are," Li Yuan thought with anticipation.


    ...


    While Li Yuan was studying the Skill Secret Manuals in the virtual network,


    in the office of Song Yi on the twelfth floor of the Starry Sky Martial Hall''s Guan Shan branch.


    "Pong~"


    The teacup was crushed instantaneously, and tea splashed everywhere.


    But Song Yi, dressed exquisitely, didn''t seem to mind, the glass shards not harming her fingers in the slightest.


    Song Yi''s eyes were piercingly sharp, with a hint of coldness, "What did you say? Li Yuan refused tomorrow''s meeting? Why?"


    "Yes."


    Zhong Cheng, clothed in black, stood, replying with a wry smile, "I only received Li Yuan''s message this afternoon. I sent him a message, he didn''t respond."


    "So, I contacted his uncle, and only then I found out he has already been signed by the Starfire Martial Hall in advance," Zhong Cheng said softly.


    "Starfire Martial Hall?"


    "They poached the person I had my eye on?" A flicker of anger crossed Song Yi''s eyes, "We invited him first, how could the Starfire Martial Hall be so unscrupulous?"


    "And this Li Yuan!"


    "We already had an arrangement, and he suddenly refused, without giving you a reason," Song Yi''s gaze turned icy, "Is this the promising candidate you spoke of?"


    At that moment, a trace of dissatisfaction surged in Zhong Cheng''s heart.


    Blaming me for your plan?


    "Hall Master Song," Zhong Cheng said softly, "As far as I know, there''s a good reason why Li Yuan directly turned us down."


    "A good reason? Whose side are you on, defending him?" Song Yi glared at Zhong Cheng with an extremely sharp look.


    "The Starfire Martial Hall offered him a Grade B contract," Zhong Cheng said quickly.


    Song Yi''s pupils constricted.


    In the room, there was a deadly silence.


    After a long pause,


    "Get out," Song Yi suddenly ordered harshly.


    "Yes," Zhong Cheng nodded, turned, and left, apparently even forgetting to shut the door.

 Chapter 41: 39 Stellar Spear Technique

    "A B-level contract?"


    Song Yi sat on the sofa, murmuring to herself, "In a fifth-rank branch of the hall, only the hall master is qualified to sign a B-level contract, and there are at most two quotas per year."


    "To obtain more quotas, one must apply to the Jiang City branch or even the Jiangbei Provincial branch."


    Whether it''s Starfire Martial Hall or Starry Sky Martial Hall, the rank of each branch is basically equivalent.


    The Guan Mountain District branch is a fifth-rank branch, also the most basic level branch.


    The Jiang City branch is a fourth-rank branch.


    The Jiangbei Provincial branch is a third-rank branch.


    Further up, there is the Xia Country headquarters as a second-rank branch, and the Blue Star headquarters as a first-rank branch.


    "Wan Qinghe?"


    "The rumors are indeed true, he has a gambling nature." Song Yi whispered to herself, "Just arrived, and he is already showing me his power."


    "Just you wait."


    "A little guy with decent spiritual power whose Martial Spirit hasn''t even awakened, at best is worth a C-level contract, and you actually give a B-level contract¡ªI''m going to watch your joke."


    Being a Prime Warrior herself and the Vice Hall Master, Song Yi didn''t truly care about missing out on signing a martial arts prodigy.


    It was just that this matter made her feel embarrassed.


    ...


    It was past ten o''clock at night, at the Wanhua Platinum Mansion, the Li household, where usually at this time, Li Qianqian and Li Muhua would have already washed up and gone to bed.


    Today.


    The living room lights were on, and the whole family was present.


    "Qianqian, Muhua." Li Yuan sat on the sofa, the holographic screen of his smart ring opened, his fingertips moving across the screen, swiftly filling in the information.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were both excitedly standing next to Li Yuan, staring at the screen.


    Suddenly.


    A pop-up window on the screen jolted, displaying ¡ª Dependent''s Card review passed.


    "Great." Li Yuan showed a smile, "Your two dependent cards are set up now, tomorrow you can just use facial recognition to enter the family area of Starfire Martial Hall."


    "Wow! The Martial Hall!!"


    "I only visited during a school activity last time, the venue is so huge."


    "Practicing there must be way better than in the residential area''s Martial Arts Room."


    "Brother, is everything really free?" Li Qianqian and Li Muhua asked with great excitement and enthusiasm, pestering Li Yuan.


    Sitting on a small stool, Chen Hui watched this scene with a smile.


    "Not everything is free."


    "But things like fruits, drinks, basic physiotherapy, the public martial arts room, and the weekly public martial arts classes... these are all free. There are a few things that cost money, such as nutritional meals, but your dependent cards are linked to my account already.


    If you want to buy something small, just swipe the card." Li Yuan said, "From now on, have dinner every night directly at the Martial Hall, then practice in the public Martial Arts Room."


    Middle schoolers don''t have evening self-study sessions.


    "At nine o''clock in the evening, come to the entrance of the Martial Hall building and wait for me; we''ll ride home together." Li Yuan looked at his younger siblings.


    L3 members, the Martial Hall will provide a ''private electric car'' free of charge, with right of use, and available on call within Jiang City.


    "Yay."


    "Last time, my classmate even bragged to me that he got a W2 level membership card of the Martial Hall." Li Muhua''s eyes lit up with excitement: "Brother, from what I read, the permissions for a family card are even higher, comparable to the W3 level membership card."


    "And there''s physiotherapy." Li Qianqian also said excitedly, "After I practice each time, my whole body aches to death..."


    The siblings discussed more and more animatedly.


    Li Yuan looked at the excitement of his brother and sister, feeling joy in his heart.


    He had been wholly devoted to cultivation since the second year of junior high.


    All to improve the family conditions like today, wasn''t it?


    Li Yuan always felt that he occupied the resources and affection meant for his younger siblings, and being able to compensate them was the happiest thing for him.


    "Okay, the cards are taken care of." Chen Hui reined in her smile and said seriously, "This is because your brother worked hard and risked his life to get an early contract."


    "I don''t expect you to be as outstanding as your brother, but you must work hard to cultivate while in the Martial Hall, understand?"


    "We know, Mom." Li Qianqian said with a smile.


    "Mom, I''m definitely going to learn from brother and strive to sign a contract with the Martial Hall in advance too." Li Muhua said with a determined expression, "Then I''ll get you a big house."


    "Okay, okay, I''ll wait for when you can take care of me later, now go wash up." Chen Hui hurried them to the bathroom.


    A few minutes later, Chen Hui returned to the living room.


    "Aunt, I just transferred one million Blue Star Coins to you, you received it, right?" Li Yuan spoke softly.


    "I''ve told you, we still have money at home." Chen Hui said helplessly, "Once you become a martial artist, you''ll have no end of places to spend money."


    "Aunt."


    "This money is for Qianqian and Muhua''s preparation." Li Yuan spoke earnestly, "Muhua has awakened his Martial Spirit; following the standard procedure, it won''t be difficult to get into Martial Arts University."


    "But for Qianqian... she hasn''t awakened her Martial Spirit, and she must not be cut off from basic Qi-blood potions, otherwise, she won''t be able to keep up with martial arts cultivation."


    "Qianqian''s martial arts talent..." Chen Hui hesitated, as she hadn''t planned to let Li Qianqian pursue deep martial arts training.


    "Aunt,"


    Li Yuan interrupted Chen Hui''s thoughts, "Qianqian''s talent for the Martial Path may indeed be low, but that''s exactly why we must strive to cultivate her all the more. For the college entrance exam, even if she takes the academic route, the martial arts score still accounts for 30%."


    "Qianqian has good academic grades. As long as her martial arts grades are slightly better, she has a chance of getting admitted to a C9 university." Li Yuan stressed.


    "As for me?"


    "The money I have left is enough for now."


    "After the January mock exam, the school will have scholarships." Li Yuan said with a smile, "If I get into university, there are various state awards."


    After a lot of persuasion, Chen Hui finally agreed to accept the money reluctantly.


    ...


    Late at night, upon returning to his own room.


    "I gave Aunt one million Blue Star Coins."


    "I have 1.33 million left in cash." Li Yuan glanced over his account balance.


    The next cash deposit from the Martial Hall, ''1.2 million Blue Star Coins'', wouldn''t arrive until next October.


    One could say.


    Li Yuan''s current cash and Martial Hall points, used for purchasing various martial arts resources, may not last until then.


    But Li Yuan had no regrets.


    "In martial arts cultivation, money is never enough. If you want to make excuses not to give, there''s always an excuse." Li Yuan''s eyes shone fiercely, "But for my brother and sister, these years are also the most critical."


    "Resources not enough?"


    "Find another way."


    "There are still three months until the January assessment test, give it your all, and break into the top five." Li Yuan had not forgotten Teacher Xu Bo''s promise.


    Breaking into the top ten of the grade, one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.


    The top five, a Special Scholarship of five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.


    "Let''s start with learning Spear Technique." Li Yuan sat inside the virtual network pod, connecting his consciousness to it.


    He arrived at his personal cultivation space.


    It was empty, with both length and width exceeding 200 meters, and the height was also over 50 meters.


    "Learn the ''Stellar Spear Technique''." Li Yuan said loudly, "First time learning."


    Immediately.


    "Boom~" A large amount of light converged, eventually forming the figure of a burly man in a black battle garment, wielding a long spear with a sharp gaze.


    He looked straight at Li Yuan.


    The intangible aura he emitted caused Li Yuan to instinctively tense up, but it was only momentary.


    "Virtual teaching, huh?" Li Yuan looked at the man in black.


    "The ''Stellar Spear Technique'' is a Second Level Spear Technique, an advanced evolution of the First Rank ''Solid Rock Spear Technique''."


    "The ''Solid Rock Spear Technique'' originated from the ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique'', embodying the steadiness of a boulder, immovable as a mountain." The man in black spoke deeply, "It emphasizes defense over offense, turning the enemy''s momentum into nothingness..."


    "Whoosh!"


    As he spoke, the man in black swung his long spear, performing various moves¡ªretracting, thrusting straight, slamming down in fury, whipping, and parrying with the spear... The seemingly simple techniques appeared so familiar to Li Yuan.


    Indeed, it was the ''Solid Rock Spear Technique'' that he had practiced countless times, and within it, he also saw shadows of the unique spear moves he had derived.


    Solid Rock Pillar, Cavern-Hiding Dragon, Myriad Mountain Vistas... one technique flowed into the next.


    They all looked quite ordinary, but in the hands of the man in black, there was a transformative magic to them.


    "This!"


    "This! This!" Li Yuan''s eyes widened, "I''ve been practicing spearwork for several years, first mastering the basic techniques, then cultivating the ''Solid Rock Spear Technique,'' eventually breaking through to the Third Stage, and deriving a few unique moves."


    "But my techniques, how could they be as coherent? Perfectly impregnable." Li Yuan held his breath.


    So formidable!


    It was the same technique, but the power varied greatly depending on the practitioner. The man in black was far stronger than Li Yuan.


    "Fourth Stage."


    "The Spear Technique demonstrated by this man in black is definitely of the Fourth Stage Realm, truly unifying all of his body''s vigor as one. He is the spear, and the spear is him." Li Yuan realized, "This is the realm of a Spear Technique Master."


    "The ''Solid Rock Fist Technique'' has eighteen forms."


    "The ''Solid Rock Spear Technique'' also has eighteen routines." The man in black''s practice grew faster, but his energy was powerful, his voice resonant as a large bell, "But as you continue practicing, you must try to gradually simplify the eighteen routines."


    "Ultimately forming five major killing moves."


    "Solid Rock Pillar, Cavern-Hiding Dragon, Myriad Mountain Vistas, Cloud Layered Peaks, Rock-Stabilizing Heaven and Earth." The man in black listed consecutively.


    The first three killing moves he mentioned were also exactly the ones Li Yuan had independently realized.


    "What I''ve realized is the same as the foundational part of the ''Stellar Spear Technique''?" Li Yuan felt greatly excited in his heart.


    This was enough to show.


    His Spear Technique cultivation had been on the most correct path all along.


    Of course, Li Yuan was aware that those few killing moves were not entirely realized by himself. In some sense, it was Teacher Xu Bo''s repeated guidance that had kept him from straying.


    "Once you master the five major killing moves, your Spear Technique should approach Third Stage Perfection, which also means completing the foundational cultivation of the ''Stellar Spear Technique''." The man in black said, "At that point, you can try to cultivate the ''Stellar Five Moves''."


    "As long as you learn any one of those moves, it represents that your Spear Technique has stepped into the Fourth Stage Realm."


    "If in the future,"


    "you manage to fully comprehend the ''Stellar Five Moves,'' even reaching the Stellar Realm... that will be the Fifth Stage Spear Technique Realm." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The skill level will be nearly divine, ranking as a master among all of human civilization." The man in black continued, "Now, follow me and practice the ''Solid Rock Spear Technique''s five major killing moves."


    Subsequently, the man in black persisted in his demonstration, and Li Yuan too materialized a long spear.


    And began to practice along with him.


    The man in black would break down every move of the ''Solid Rock Spear Technique'', practicing them part by part.


    Through observing Li Yuan''s standard of Spear Technique, he would lead him in his cultivation, assisting Li Yuan in comprehending the nuances of force transition between the changes in spear moves.


    This man in black was clearly an intelligent teacher.


    And as his practice deepened, Li Yuan could feel the power of this Second Rank Secret Manual.


    It was several times more efficient than his solitary contemplation.


    "One million Cultivation Points, worth it!" Li Yuan was extremely excited in his heart.


    What he purchased was not merely a manual.


    But also the full guidance of an intelligent teacher.


    "However, practicing in virtual reality is just mental learning. To truly learn with the physical body, there needs to be extensive training in reality." Li Yuan was very clear about this.


    Mind and body must learn together; only then is something truly learned.


    ...


    After studying the ''Stellar Spear Technique'' for an hour, Li Yuan began to learn the ''Dragon Movement Technique'' in the virtual space.


    This was also a very exquisite movement technique.


    ...


    In the early morning after 1 AM, Li Yuan exited the virtual network and came to the window, the world silent.


    "Virtual cultivation is an aid."


    "The key is still reality, first cultivate the ''Observing the Great Sun and Stars Scripture'' for two hours, then head to the school for practice." Li Yuan thought to himself as he sat cross-legged, his mind''s consciousness already entering the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    At past 4 AM, Li Yuan finally left home and ran towards the school.


    It had been a long time since he went to school that late.


    ...


    Senior year learning was tedious, yet Li Yuan found joy in it, constantly moving between school, home, and the Martial Hall.


    Feeling his own strength increase day by day.


    Day after day.


    In the blink of an eye, over two months had passed.

 Chapter 42: 40 Li Yuans Strength

    Late December in Jiang City has descended into winter, with temperatures lingering around zero degrees.


    Inside the Starfire Martial Hall branch in Guanshan, the temperature is kept at a constant 20 degrees Celsius, making it exceedingly comfortable.


    Martial Arts Room 7024.


    Two men clad in full protective gear, even with helmets fitting tightly, each brandishing a cold weapon, are engaged in fierce combat.


    "Kill!" One of the figures, nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall in his shoes, wielding a silver long spear, moves in a motion reminiscent of a swimming dragon. The spear suddenly swings out, leaving a blur as it thrusts towards his opponent.


    Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!


    The other figure nearly two meters tall, extremely burly, wields a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.


    Reacting even faster, acting later but striking first.


    The large shield brutally smashes forward, like an indomitable copper wall and iron barrier, slamming hard against the incoming spear thrust.


    "Boom~" Li Yuan, holding the long spear, feels as though he struck a steel plate. The terrifying force rebounds through the spear; a normal martial artist would probably find their arm numb from the impact.


    "Stick!" Li Yuan''s long spear is incredibly flexible, as he retreats accordingly, even pulling back the shaft of the spear to shed as much of the force as possible.


    Retreating does not mean falling behind.


    Sometimes, only by shedding force can one minimize the damage sustained.


    "Whoo!"


    The long spear thrusts again, suddenly whooshing through the air. In an instant, it seems to create dozens of phantoms, covering the sky as it envelops the opponent.


    The Solid Rock Spear Technique''s five major deadly moves include ''Myriad Mountain Phantasms.''


    Skilled in group attacks, skilled in confusion.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Bursts of blade light flare up, colliding with the spear shadows in an instant; the figure in black armor alternates between swinging his sword and using his shield to block.


    Retreating eight steps consecutively, he barely withstands Li Yuan''s full set of deadly moves.


    "Be careful now."


    Li Yuan roars suddenly like thunder.


    Fortunately, it''s a soundproofed room; otherwise, there would certainly be complaints of disturbing the peace.


    You should know, after firing more than twenty consecutive spear thrusts, Li Yuan''s aura reached its peak. Accompanying his roaring shout, his spear transformed into a great dragon, howling as it brought down a terrifying force.


    Solid Rock Spear Technique''s five major deadly moves ¡ª Ground and Sky!


    This move treats the spear like a heavy club or a battle halberd, as unstoppable as a rolling boulder, it''s the most ferocious burst of power.


    Switching between the two deadly moves is extremely fast.


    The black armored figure, in this moment of danger, seems to only be able to raise his shield instinctively, doing his best to block the falling spear.


    "Bang~"


    After the brutal impact, the figure in black armor looks somewhat disheveled, but his body easily withstands the impact before retreating.


    "Stop!"


    "Li Yuan, you''ve won." The figure in black armor suddenly speaks, his voice tinged with resignation and a trace of emotion.


    Li Yuan stops and stands still with his spear.


    Click~


    Click~ Both remove their helmets.


    "Li Yuan, your spear technique has advanced frighteningly fast. That final continuous attack must have been two deadly moves, right?" The man holding the shield is a bearded brute in his forties with a scar on his face.


    "Right."


    Li Yuan nods with a smile, "It''s the basic chapter deadly moves from the Second Rank Secret Manual ''Stellar Spear Technique.'' I''ve just gained control over the integration of these two moves."


    Indeed, Li Yuan had only recently attained preliminary control over the last of the five deadly moves ''Ground and Sky'' in the virtual network.


    Today was the first time he practiced it in real combat.


    "Impressive."


    "I''ve been sparring with you for two months, and your progress in spear technique is truly terrifying. I''ve never seen a spear technique prodigy like you before.


    I was able to suppress you with my sword technique at the beginning, but now you''ve surpassed me in skill level," the bearded brute reflects, "Just now, I used about a level 8.0 Physical Quality, clearly stronger than you in speed and power, but I still couldn''t dominate you."


    "That last spear thrust, I had to use almost a level 9 strength, or I definitely wouldn''t have withstood it."


    Li Yuan smiles.


    To execute ''Ground and Sky,'' if you directly engage, it''s easy for the opponent to evade.


    The best way is to build momentum with Myriad Mountain Phantasms and then strike the final blow to crush the enemy.


    "Your spear technique," the bearded brute looks at Li Yuan, "has already surpassed my sword technique by a margin, and should be close to the Fourth Stage Realm."


    "Not quite," Li Yuan shakes his head. "I haven''t fully mastered the basic chapter of the Second Rank Secret Manual yet. I still need Uncle Hu to spar with me more."


    "Haha, no problem," the bearded brute laughs. "Next, shall we switch it up, and I attack while you defend?"


    "Sure," Li Yuan nods.


    This bearded brute named ''Fang Longhu'' is a regular instructor at Starfire Martial Hall, a Level 15 martial artist, and he was recommended to Li Yuan by Instructor Xing as a sparring partner.


    Twice a week, for an hour each session, at a cost of 10,000 Blue Star Coins per session.


    A sparring partner in actual combat must be far stronger than oneself.


    A martial artist of at least Level 15 is necessary to better manage the fight when sparring with Li Yuan.


    Half an hour later.


    Li Yuan finishes today''s combat session and sees off Fang Longhu.


    "Whew!"


    "Real combat is indeed more exhilarating than virtual fighting," Li Yuan mutters to himself, quite excited.


    Virtual fighting can comprehensively train various techniques, but it ultimately lacks a sense of reality.


    Actual combat is the ultimate goal.


    "Every time I engage in real combat, I feel that my Spear Technique and movement technique improve much faster." Li Yuan reflected, "It''s just a pity that actual combat opportunities are extremely rare."


    First, getting injured is easy in actual combat; once injured, just healing takes a long time and seriously delays cultivation.


    Second, good sparring partners are hard to find and expensive; ordinary people simply can''t afford them.


    "Professional sparring partners like Fang Longhu, aside from their day job at the Martial Hall, can earn several hundred thousand Blue Star Coins each month just from sparring." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    You should know that Fang Longhu has basically given up on becoming a Prime Warrior, spending very little on the Martial Path and just maintaining his physical quality.


    Therefore, it''s quite easy for him to earn a few million a year.


    "Martial Arts Cultivation is a gold-consuming pit, but if you achieve a little success, you can also earn a lot, and without taking risks." Li Yuan thought, "If a 15th-level Martial Artist earns like this, what about a Prime Warrior? No wonder Hall Master Wan gave me 1 million Blue Star Coins without a second thought."


    "My Spear Technique."


    "It improved by 1% tonight, and recently, progress has been getting slower." With a thought from Li Yuan, the Divine Palace panel appeared in his view.

    ¡ª¡ª


    "Judging by the rate of progress over the past half a month, it will take at least one more month to increase the Spear Technique to Third Stage 99%," Li Yuan thought to himself, "And transitioning from Third Stage to Fourth Stage will be a major bottleneck."


    "This step has stumped countless formidable Martial Artists."


    Over the past few months at Starfire Martial Hall, Li Yuan had met many Martial Artists.


    And with his own cultivation, he gradually came to understand the significance of Fourth Level Martial Arts Skills.


    "At the Martial Hall, I know more than a dozen Martial Artists above level 16."


    "Apart from Instructor Xing, none have managed to cultivate their skills to the Fourth Level and above," Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    First Rank Martial Artists mostly have Third Stage standard Martial Arts Skills.


    Most people''s skills don''t even match Li Yuan''s current level.


    "Xu Bo''s Stick Technique easily crushes mine," Li Yuan couldn''t help recalling the past two months.


    Receiving guidance from Xu Bo once a week.


    "With such high-level skills, why didn''t he become a Prime Warrior? Was it because of an injury?" Li Yuan had many speculations in his heart.


    Feeling fully rested, Li Yuan suppressed the various thoughts.


    "Never mind." S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Continue with the Spear Technique practice."


    "I''ve just mastered the five major killing moves of the Solid Rock Spear Technique, and if I can connect them perfectly, I estimate it''ll reach Third Stage 99%." Li Yuan was extremely excited, "I will strive to bring my Spear Technique close to 99% before the January Evaluation."


    Only ten days left until the January Evaluation.


    "Hoo!"


    "Hoo!" Li Yuan continued to practice his Spear Technique, and another hour passed in a blink of an eye, bringing the time to past eight in the evening.


    He put away the Long Spear into the weapon cabinet.


    Drenched in sweat, Li Yuan first took a satisfying hot shower in the rest room.


    Then, he retrieved a delicately packaged medicine bottle from the treatment room.


    "Origin Power Essence Pill."


    "It''s been 20 days since the last time I took one, it''s about time to take another," Li Yuan took out an Essence Pill from the bottle.


    He was very careful.


    After all, this single pill was worth 100,000 Blue Star Coins.


    The Origin Power Essence Pill, covered in thin wisps of purple glow, thumbnail-sized with waves of fragrance wafting out as if to entice one''s cravings.


    He swallowed it directly.


    Li Yuan returned to the center of the Martial Arts Room and stood in a posture as immovable as a boulder, focusing his spirit.


    Soon.


    Wisps of rather fiery and overbearing energy gradually spread from Li Yuan''s chest to his limbs and throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.


    This was Origin Power.


    "Ah~ So comfortable!" Li Yuan enjoyed the sensation immensely.


    "Hiss~"


    "Hiss~" The muscles, tendons, and bones within Li Yuan''s body hungrily devoured every bit of Origin Power roaming through him, becoming stronger and tougher.


    [Your Life Level has increased from 7.7 to 7.8.]


    [Your Fist Strength has increased from...]


    [Your Burst Speed has increased...]

 Chapter 43: 41 Why is he a B rank when Im only a C rank?

    Half an hour later.


    Li Yuan finally felt the rampaging, dominant, and scorching energy coursing through his body gradually fade away.


    "Each time I take an Origin Power Essence Pill, my body undergoes noticeable changes," Li Yuan mused inwardly. "Today, my life level has actually improved by 0.1 level."


    Feeling the amazing transformation of his body step by step was indeed exhilarating.


    "In just over half an hour, my maximum fist strength has advanced further, reaching 732 kilograms?" Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    The effects of the Origin Power Essence Pill had not been fully digested, but had become hidden within him.


    For the next ten days or so, Li Yuan would have to practice diligently to ensure his muscles and bones fully absorbed it, without wasting even a bit.


    "I wonder if I can raise my physical quality to 7.9 levels before the January evaluation exams," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    From mid-October to now, over two months.


    It seemed his physical quality had only improved by 0.9 level, apparently the same speed as before taking the Origin Power Essence Pill.


    But the improvement of life levels is not linear, the further you go, the more astonishing the gap between each level.


    The standard for fist strength at physical quality level 6 is 300 kilograms.


    The standard for fist strength at physical quality level 7 is 450 kilograms.


    And the standard for fist strength at physical quality level 8 is 800 kilograms.


    In other words, in just over two months, Li Yuan''s fist strength had increased by nearly 300 kilograms.


    "Up to level 10 of physical quality, the gap from level 7 to level 8 is the largest, and the data indicators for various attributes almost double," Li Yuan said to himself. "Many students at Martial Arts University, if they do not awaken their Martial Spirit, might not even reach level 8 by the time they graduate."


    Interacting with many Martial Artists at the hall gave Li Yuan more insight.


    Over eighty percent of Entry Rank Martial Artists have awakened their Martial Spirit.


    "My improvement has been so quick."


    "The Origin Power Essence Pill has the greatest effect," Li Yuan thought. "The capacity of my body to endure and digest... Although it''s not as strong as what Teacher Xu said, digesting one every month, being able to digest one every twenty days is quite astonishing."


    Over the past two months.


    Li Yuan had ingested four Origin Power Essence Pills.


    The cost was enormous, but its effects were outstanding.


    Without the Origin Power Essence Pills, just taking basic blood and energy potions, Li Yuan estimated his physical quality would now be around level 7.3 or 7.4.


    "Teacher Xu wasn''t wrong."


    "Once the physical quality is strong to a certain extent, it''s not just about continuing to improve¡ªjust maintaining it is difficult," Li Yuan suddenly swung his hand.


    "Whoosh!"


    His hand, like a blade, tore through the air.


    Since breaking through to life level 7.5, Li Yuan clearly felt the effects of the Origin Power Essence Pill weakening.


    Eating nutritional meals? Taking basic blood and energy potions? The effects were even weaker.


    Li Yuan could foresee.


    Once he became a Martial Artist, if he only ate nutritional meals and took basic blood and energy potions, it would be difficult to continue improving his physical quality.


    By then, the auxiliary effect of the Origin Power Essence Pill in cultivation would be reduced by more than half... The more powerful the body, the more energy consumed in cultivation and combat.


    Continuous rapid improvement? Firstly, you need to use higher grade treasures, and secondly, your body has to be able to withstand it.


    "Martial Spirit!"


    "If I could practice high-rank cultivation methods, I would be able to directly absorb the Origin Power from the universe," a flicker of light passed through Li Yuan''s eyes. "No wonder, this parameter of Martial Spirit is considered so crucial by the Seven Star Alliance."


    Practicing high-rank cultivation methods would greatly save on resources.


    Not just for the individual, but for the entire human civilization as well.


    Thinking of this.


    Li Yuan raised his smart ring to check the balance of his National Bank and Martial Hall accounts.


    Bank Balance: 1,125,124 Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 1,946,880


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 750,000


    ...


    At nine o''clock in the evening, Li Yuan changed his clothes and left the Martial Arts Room, heading toward the elevator.


    "Li Yuan, you''re leaving now?"


    "Uncle Wang."


    "Brother Liu."


    Martial Artists greeted Li Yuan from time to time with enthusiasm, and he responded to each one.


    "Li Yuan, heading back? Your brother and sister just went downstairs," said a young man in an instructor''s uniform with cropped hair, who happened to walk by and greeted Li Yuan with a smile.


    "Alright, thanks, Brother Liu," Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    The cropped-haired youth had just graduated from Martial Arts University and had not long become a Martial Artist. He was responsible for teaching the public free martial arts classes.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were both his students.


    As a result, he had a close relationship with Li Yuan.


    Over the past two months, in the Martial Artist circles of the Starfire Martial Hall''s Guanshan branch hall, basically everyone knew that Li Yuan was a B-level Martial Path talent signed in advance by the Martial Hall.


    A B-level contract indicated that the future was at least that of a level 16 Martial Artist with a certain chance of becoming a Prime Warrior. His potential was enormous.


    Furthermore, every time Instructor Xing, the head instructor, met Li Yuan, he was extremely enthusiastic and polite, let alone these ordinary Martial Artists and instructors?


    "In the past, I was just an ordinary student. When I came to the Martial Hall building, I couldn''t even get through the door, and no one would give me the time of day," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "Now? When Brother Liu points out something for Qian Qian and Muhua during their practice, he is more enthusiastic than when teaching other junior high students."


    When one is powerful, everyone around becomes friendly and kind.


    ...The elevator doors opened, and as Li Yuan was about to enter, his gaze suddenly sharpened.


    There was a familiar face.


    "Li Yuan?" The girl standing in the elevator also seemed surprised.


    "Lin Lanyue, long time no see," Li Yuan greeted her cordially.


    A few months ago, their virtual match at school had caused quite a stir.


    But as time passed, Li Yuan had made no further moves, and with the increasing demands of their senior year studies, all the rumors had dissipated.


    Instead, the two would greet each other when they occasionally met at school.


    Today, Lin Lanyue wasn''t wearing her Martial Arts uniform. Instead, she was in casual clothes, a cashmere long coat covering her upper body and a form-fitting turtleneck sweater underneath, showing off her fair, blush-tinged skin. She wore pale blue jeans that outlined her long and beautifully curved legs.


    The attire was markedly different from her usual student look.


    "Li Yuan, what are you doing at the Martial Hall?" Lin Lanyue asked, slightly puzzled.


    "Just some stuff," Li Yuan said with a smile, without going into detail.


    The fact that he had signed with Starfire Martial Hall ahead of time wasn''t mentioned by either the principal or Teacher Xu Bo.


    It wasn''t spread around the school at all.


    Li Yuan did not want to attract unnecessary attention with matters that brought him no advantage, so naturally, he wouldn''t discuss them.


    "Yue Yue, is this your classmate? I feel like I haven''t seen him before." A young woman in her thirties, clad in a mink coat, eyed him with a hint of wariness.


    She remembered Lin Lanyue rarely took initiative to greet male students.


    "He''s from Class 3 (2)," Lin Lanyue explained.


    "Class 3 (2)?" The young woman frowned slightly.


    A student from a regular class? Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    How did they get to know each other?


    "Li Yuan, this is my aunt," Lin Lanyue introduced him proactively.


    Lin Lanyue internally approved and admired Li Yuan for his prowess in Martial Arts Skills, having been beaten by him herself.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had never approached her again over the past few months, making Lin Lanyue realize that he was indeed different from those other boys who tried to pursue her.


    "Hello, Auntie," Li Yuan greeted her as it was natural to do so.


    The young woman was taken aback. Auntie?


    Do I really look that old?


    Ding~ The elevator doors opened.


    "I''ve got something else to do, so I''ll be going now," Li Yuan said with a smile. "See you at school later."


    He stepped out of the elevator.


    "See you at school," Lin Lanyue nodded, then leisurely walked out of the elevator with the young woman.


    They weren''t in a hurry to leave but watched Li Yuan walk away.


    "Yue Yue, you should minimize contact with ordinary class boys in the future," the young woman said with a frown.


    Lin Lanyue was momentarily startled, then she laughed and said, "Auntie, do you remember when I was defeated on the Starry Skies Fighting Network last time?"


    "Hmm? Xiao Qiang has mentioned it," the young woman recalled. "Was it him?"


    "Yes," Lin Lanyue nodded, watching Li Yuan leaving. "His Spear Technique is formidable; I''m no match for him in virtual combat."


    "So what if his skills are strong?"


    "Without a Martial Spirit, the best he can do is to get into Jiangbei Martial Arts University. Does he think he can get into one of the top five academies?" The young woman snorted.


    Lin Lanyue smiled and made no retort.


    She knew that her aunt''s temperament was not to underestimate Li Yuan, but she was simply dissatisfied that Li Yuan had called her ''Auntie.''


    "Oh, there''s Instructor Xing over there," the young woman suddenly brightened up. "Come on, let''s go and say hello."


    "Oh," Lin Lanyue nodded.


    She seldom came to the Starfire Martial Hall and didn''t really care about any instructor.


    Suddenly.


    "That boy?" The young woman raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Instructor Xing stopped to greet him?"


    "Really?" Lin Lanyue was also surprised and looked over.


    Not far away.


    Instructor Xing had stopped Li Yuan and was smiling as he talked with him, giving off the impression, to outsiders, more of a peer-to-peer exchange rather than a senior interacting with a junior.


    After a while.


    Instructor Xing waved as he saw Li Yuan out of the building and then moved towards the elevator.


    The young woman, dragging Lin Lanyue along, greeted him proactively.


    "Instructor Xing," the young woman said with a bright smile.


    "Ms. You," Instructor Xing recognized the young woman and smiled back. "Are you here for physical therapy again today?"


    Instructor Xing looked at Lin Lanyue. "You... must be Hall Master Lin''s daughter, Lin Lanyue, right?"


    "You know me?" Lin Lanyue asked, surprised.


    "I remember."


    "When Hall Master Lin was in Jiang City, I met you when you were a child," Instructor Xing said with a smile. "I was present at your school for an inspection last time, but there were too many people, so I didn''t greet you."


    "Later on, our Martial Hall sent you a Class C contract invitation, which you didn''t accept."


    Lin Lanyue couldn''t help but smile.


    Her father was a member of Starry Sky Martial Hall, so naturally, she wouldn''t accept an advance contract invitation from Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Instructor Xing, that boy just now, who is he?" The young woman pointed at Li Yuan, who had just left the building.


    "Oh?"


    "You mean Li Yuan?" Instructor Xing looked back and said with a smile. "He goes to the same school as Xiao Lin. Don''t you know him?"


    "Not really," Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    "He''s a Class B contract member of our Martial Hall," Instructor Xing said with a smile. "This young man is quite outstanding."


    ...


    Instructor Xing got into the elevator.


    "Yue Yue."


    "You''re lying to me? Didn''t you say he was from a regular class? How could he have a Class B contract with Starfire Martial Hall?"


    The young woman was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Lanyue with a skeptical expression: "Is there something going on between you two? Otherwise, why would you lie to me?"


    "Auntie, I really didn''t lie to you," Lin Lanyue said, her bright eyes also filled with confusion, and she asserted, "Li Yuan really is from Class 3 (2)."


    "I''ve never heard of someone who hasn''t awakened their Martial Spirit securing a Class B contract in advance," the young woman shook her head. "Your grades are so good, and even on the last assessment, you just qualified for Class C."


    Lin Lanyue was too lazy to respond to her aunt anymore; she lowered her head and frowned, lost in thought.


    Yeah, I''m only Class C!


    Why would Li Yuan sign a Class B contract?

 Chapter 44: 42: The wise man does not stand under a tottering wall

    "Could it be because his martial arts skills are high?"


    Lin Lanyue could only think of this possibility, then said, "Auntie, let''s go home. I have to do some problems when I get back."


    "Alright." The young woman nodded, and as they walked, she looked at Lin Lanyue, "Yue Yue, you really didn''t know that Li Yuan signed with the Starfire Martial Hall early?"


    "I really didn''t know." Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    "Why don''t you ask him about it later? A Grade B contract, the Martial Hall only has two or three slots each year." The young woman said curiously, "It seems you have a good relationship with him."


    "I won''t ask." Lin Lanyue shook her head decisively, "If he doesn''t say it himself, there must be a reason he''s keeping quiet."


    "Right, don''t talk about this in the parent''s group chat, and definitely don''t use it as gossip material," Lin Lanyue warned her aunt with a glance.


    She knew her aunt was quite the blabbermouth.


    "Sure." The young woman replied noncommittally.


    "I''m serious," Lin Lanyue said sternly, "otherwise, I won''t help you with the card later."


    "Okay, okay, my little ancestor, I promise not to blurt it out," the woman in the mink coat surrendered immediately with a wave of her hands.


    ...


    When Li Yuan was taking his younger brother and sister home in the Martial Hall''s designated car.


    In the twelfth-floor office of the Martial Hall''s building, decorated in a simple style.


    "Hall Master."


    Coach Xing entered through the door.


    In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a middle-aged man in traditional Chinese garb stood with his back to the door, looking down at the night view outside.


    "How is it?" Lord Wan asked without turning around, his voice very calm.


    "I asked, and I also pulled the data from the testing equipment in various martial arts rooms. The six members who signed ahead of time all performed well," Coach Xing reported respectfully, "The one who performed the best and made the most progress should be Li Yuan."


    "According to Fang Longhu, Li Yuan''s physical quality should be close to Level 8; his skill level has even approached the perfection of the Third Stage," said Coach Xing, "Compared to two months ago, his progress is astonishing."


    "Oh?"


    "So, the progress is quite rapid." It was then that Lord Wan turned around, smiling, "Coach Xing, what do you think?"


    "Hall Master has discerning eyes," Coach Xing replied, bowing his head.


    "Old Xing, relax, don''t worry that I have any schemes," Lord Wan said with a smile, "I know what you''re thinking. In your heart, based on Li Yuan''s current performance, he would barely qualify for a Grade C contract, right?"


    "Subordinate wouldn''t dare," Coach Xing replied hurriedly.


    "Don''t worry," Lord Wan laughed, "I have my reasons for giving him a Grade B contract. You just keep track of the data."


    "Yes," said Coach Xing.


    But inside, he muttered to himself, it doesn''t matter since you''re the Hall Master. As long as you don''t blame me later, you decide how to proceed.


    After Coach Xing had left.


    "The person recommended by Tie Ta is indeed not bad," Lord Wan sighed inwardly, "but if in the end he cannot awaken the Martial Spirit, his development after level 10 might be somewhat difficult..."


    He shook his head gently, then pushed the thought aside.


    The early signing of martial arts prodigies was just a small part of his duties, requiring his attention once a month.


    Half an hour later.


    "Beep beep¡ªalert¡ª" A voice suddenly sounded in the office.


    Hum~


    Red lights started flashing on Lord Wan''s smart ring, changing his expression instantly as he checked the message, "Star Realm creatures? At least nine of the First Rank, with the strongest nearing the Second Rank? Appeared in the area from Southeast Lake to Binhu Road, causing at least thirty-five deaths?"


    "Could it be remnants from the last sweep along the Xiang River basin?" Lord Wan thought immediately of the previous operation.


    Each martial artist was registered with the Martial Arts Hall.


    Their identity information was bound to their smart rings.


    Whenever Star Realm creatures appeared and were detected by Xia Country''s ''Sky Net'' system, the first to be informed would be the nearby martial artists, requesting assistance.


    As a Prime Warrior, Lord Wan''s smart ring had a maximum sensing range of 100 kilometers.


    That is, any Star Realm creatures of Entry Rank discovered within a 100-kilometer radius would send a notification to him.


    Without hesitation.


    "Dahe, send a message immediately to the combat-ready martial artists of the Martial Hall. First and Second Teams, deploy, coordinate with the military for a kill and containment," Lord Wan issued orders one after another, "Bring me my weapon."


    "Yes, Master," the voice of the assistant AI echoed in the office.


    One of the important duties of the Martial Hall was to protect the local residents.


    Each basic level Martial Hall had martial artist squads on combat-ready duty, able to deploy at any time.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two furniture robots dashed out from the nearby weapons room, one carrying a shield and the other a combat saber.


    Lord Wan grabbed the shield and saber, then gently pressed a metallic button on his chest.


    Immediately.


    Before the naked eye, the previously loose-fitting traditional Chinese attire transformed rapidly into a thin layer of metallic battle garment that completely covered his body, with the entire garment black in color.


    It radiated a sense of coolness and oppression.


    "Master, the single-person flying vehicle has arrived," the intelligent voice rang out. "Should I open the window?"


    "Open the window," Lord Wan commanded coldly.


    "Rumble~" The floor-to-ceiling window that was originally closed quickly opened outward, fully exposing the interior to the elements and allowing gusts of wind to blow into the office.


    Whoosh!


    With a faint exertion of force in one leg, Lord Wan''s figure shot out, traversing dozens of meters in a lateral movement, tracing an arc through the air like a cannonball plummeting towards the ground. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This building was twelve stories high¡ªover forty meters above the ground!


    Boom!


    A booming sound filled the air as a single-person flying vehicle resembling an assault boat whizzed past at an incredibly low altitude and at a breathtaking speed.


    Precisely timed, it caught Lord Wan in mid-air.


    The flying vehicle soared into the sky, reaching about a hundred meters above the ground, and rushed toward the scene of the incident at top speed.


    ...


    The next day, after training for the entire night, Li Yuan stepped out of his home leisurely just after four in the morning.


    Walking on the street.


    In the winter, it was still pitch dark around five in the morning, with a light drizzle falling, making the ground slippery.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan had just left his residential complex when he sensed something amiss¡ªhe saw an armed military patrol in the distance.


    Along with two patrolling soldiers.


    Occasionally, unmanned aerial vehicles flew by overhead, conducting surveillance patrols.


    The security was extremely tight.


    "Is this a manhunt for fugitives? No, could it be..." Li Yuan instantly thought of a possibility.


    Without a moment''s hesitation,


    he immediately opened his smart wristband, clicked into an app ''Star Realm Creatures Alert'', and the location was directly marked as Jiang City''s Guan Mountain District.


    His eyes scanned the dozens of alert messages that had been posted in succession.


    "Could it really be Star Realm creatures? Daring to show up in Jiang City?" Li Yuan thought in shock, "But according to the news, so far, there have been dozens of casualties?"


    "Over thirty Star Realm Creatures have also been killed."


    "And now, suspected Star Realm creatures are still at large, and the entire Guan Mountain District is under martial law, with a comprehensive manhunt underway?"


    After a moment''s thought,


    Li Yuan turned around.


    He went back upstairs, to his home.


    "Though there are military vehicles and drones on the streets, appearing to offer safety, walking alone like this is too conspicuous," Li Yuan mused, "Binhu Road is less than ten kilometers from here."


    "Bad luck on the road, and I might really encounter a fleeing Star Realm creature."


    "At home,"


    "There are alert systems overhead and underground in the residential area, the buildings and doors and windows are reinforced, and the stairwells require facial recognition for entry¡ªhome is very safe," Li Yuan thought to himself, "The chances are slim, but it''s still not worth the risk."


    Yes!


    As an elite student, Li Yuan''s martial prowess was stronger than most adults¡­ but against firearms, they were in vain, not to mention Star Realm creatures?


    The wise do not stand under a wall that is in danger of collapsing.


    This was something Uncle Li Changzhou had always taught Li Yuan since he was little.


    Similarly,


    From an early age, all students were taught the rule: if you lack the strength of a Martial Artist, scatter and run at the sight of Star Realm creatures! Call for help immediately and report to the authorities at once!


    In fact,


    All Martial Artists received the same warning: without the strength of a Prime Warrior, do not engage a Star Realm creature alone lightly, wait for heavy weapons! Wait for attack drones and combat robots!


    ...


    Back at home, Li Yuan was not too panicked.


    Instead, he opened the door to his room.


    Then, in his bedroom, he stood in quiet contemplation, practicing his punches and training in the Basic Cultivation Method.


    Ever since he could remember,


    Jiang City, where Li Yuan lived, suffered attacks from Star Realm creatures every half a year or so, sometimes even less.


    It couldn''t be helped.


    Jiang City, with its convergence of large rivers and many lakes and its extensive water system, was one of the cities within Xia Country most frequently attacked by Star Realm creatures.


    Most of these attacks were small in scale, and it was best to calmly wait for the military and Martial Artists to clear the threat.


    As for large-scale attacks? Li Yuan had only experienced one when he was very young, and his memories of it were quite vague.


    Soon, it was past six in the morning.


    "The alert has been lifted?" Li Yuan received a message notification on his smart wristband.

 Chapter 46: 44 Two Hall Masters

    ```


    In this era, material science had advanced, so even a metallic hollow stick had great strength and toughness.


    Most importantly, this member of the Fish Spirit Clan had a Physical Quality of only 10.2 levels, just at Entry Rank. Although their bones and muscles were tough, they weren''t yet immune to common weapons.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Bang~" "Bang~" Li Yuan swung down the first two strikes like lightning, both wielded one-handed with the flow.


    With two consecutive, precise, heavy strikes, he caved in the skull of the Fish Spirit Clan member, blood spurting out.


    They lay completely horizontal on the ground, their slender body still twitching.


    Li Yuan didn''t stop; he knew well the importance of a finishing move.


    The third strike was now a two-handed grip, the most suitable position for exerting force with a heavy stick.


    There are many similarities in the force application between spear technique and stick technique.


    "Whoosh!" Li Yuan''s vigor burst forth instantly, calmly unleashing the "Stable as Earth", with the stick head chopping down like the head of a spear.


    "Splat~Bang!!!"


    Over a thousand kilograms of terrifying force erupted, striking precisely the same spot as before... and completely burst open like a watermelon.


    Blood and fluids splashed widely, scales scattered about, some of the blood even splashing onto Li Yuan himself.


    The body of the Fish Spirit Clan member was no longer moving.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" Li Yuan gripped the long stick tightly in his hand, still not daring to relax, watching the Fish Spirit Clan member before him: "This time, it should be over, right?"


    This was Li Yuan''s first life-or-death battle.


    But with thousands of life-or-death struggles in the virtual network, as well as numerous practical exercises with Fang Longhu.


    Especially the daily trials of pain from the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture".


    Li Yuan''s heart had long become incredibly tough.


    Spear technique, movement technique, combat instincts in the face of life and death had unknowingly become ingrained deep within Li Yuan''s bones.


    "I, Li Yuan, can kill Star Realm Creatures one-on-one?" Li Yuan took a deep breath, hands gripping the metallic long stick even tighter.


    In his heart, an inexplicable emotion arose.


    It was as if he had gone through a major event in life, a purification of the soul.


    Sometimes, certain transformations in life come unexpectedly, impossible for anyone to anticipate.


    All one can do is prepare well in advance.


    Clearly, through years of practicing the Martial Path, Li Yuan was internally and physically ready for a life-and-death struggle; he had indeed given a satisfactory answer to himself.


    No cowardice! No fear!


    Only courage, decisiveness, and caution.


    He stepped back five paces.


    Li Yuan still faced in the direction of the Fish Spirit Clan''s corpse, while his peripheral vision scanned all around, remaining alert for any sudden appearance of Star Realm Creatures.


    "Young man, are you a Martial Artist?" The noodle shop owner, holding a kitchen knife, watched Li Yuan with utter shock.


    He had never expected that the youth he often saw in the mornings could be so formidable.


    In just two encounters.


    The strong and fierce Star Realm Creature was brought down, seemingly lifeless now.


    Instinctively, the noodle shop owner thought the youth must be a Martial Artist.


    In his understanding, in close combat with cold weapons, only a Martial Artist could defeat Star Realm Creatures.


    "Not a Martial Artist." Li Yuan responded.


    "Then you?" The noodle shop owner swallowed hard, about to say something.


    Suddenly.


    "Rustle~" From the alley from before, two small figures darted out abruptly; Li Yuan''s pupils slightly contracted, followed by a moment of relaxation.


    They were two small combat robots, less than half a meter in height, shaped like large spiders, quite compact, equipped with gun barrels.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"


    The two combat robots scanned their surroundings and quickly gathered around the corpse of the Fish Spirit Clan, projecting red beams, seemingly scanning.


    Li Yuan stepped further back and completely relaxed.


    He could tell that the gunshot wounds on the leading Fish Spirit Clan member were most likely inflicted by the combat robots during pursuit.


    In the whole of Jiang City, there were countless such combat robots, large and small.


    Apart from a few extremely powerful Star Realm Creatures, most Star Realm Creatures could be annihilated by the combined forces of combat robots and unmanned fighting drones.


    "Now, should I leave?" A thought just arose in Li Yuan''s mind.


    The next moment.


    "Boom!" "Boom!" There was a sudden roar of explosions in the sky; Li Yuan instantly looked up, and two flying vehicles shaped like assault boats appeared in his vision.


    In today''s cities, the tallest buildings do not exceed 12 floors, so flying vehicles operating dozens of meters above the ground are quite safe.


    "Single-person flyers?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    Before the flyers landed.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"


    Two figures clad in black battle garments had already jumped down from the flying vehicles.


    Like phantoms, their speed terrifyingly fast, yet when they touched the ground, they were incredibly agile and nimble, not causing any breakage on the surface.


    Effortlessly. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They then came walking directly towards him.


    ```


    "At least thirty meters, jumped right down?" Li Yuan held his breath as he watched the two approaching figures.


    With Li Yuan''s current strength, the most he could do was jump down from five meters, and even then he''d have to roll to unload the force to ensure he wouldn''t get injured.


    The two martial artists only showed their eyes, with the rest of their bodies completely wrapped in black battle garments.


    The invisible aura they emitted, however, caused Li Yuan''s heart to race, prompting him to instinctively activate the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    [Target person, Life Level exceeds sensory limit (Current Life Level sensory limit is 17.8)]


    Both individuals exceeded Li Yuan''s sensory limit, which further drained his spirit.


    "We were hunting down that Second Rank leader, and missed this little guy, who is actually dead?" The battle garment on one figure''s head contracted, revealing a large bald head.


    It was a bald man, his features as if chiseled with a knife and ax.


    The other, comparatively frail figure, also saw his battle garment contract to reveal a face, and it turned out to be a brown curly-haired woman, looking to be about thirty years old, with an exotic charm.


    "Foreign martial artists?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    "Young man, I am a bona fide citizen of Xia Country," the brown curly-haired woman spoke fluently in Mandarin and laughed, "My family has been naturalized since my great-grandfather''s generation."


    Li Yuan fell silent, realizing that high rank martial artists do indeed have excellent hearing.


    "Kid, the combat robot told me you killed this Star Realm creature? Are you a student from Martial Arts University?" The bald man approached Li Yuan, inquiring as he opened his smart ring: "Let me check the nearby surveillance."


    "I killed it," Li Yuan said directly. "Senior year, from the first high school in Guanshan."


    The bald man didn''t respond, turning to look at the holographic projection and began to check the surveillance.


    The brown curly-haired woman also looked on.


    Less than ten seconds passed.


    "Hmm?"


    "What? This stick technique? No, it looks like spear technique!"


    "It''s spear technique." Both powerful martial artists showed surprise and couldn''t help but look at Li Yuan.


    They had initially thought that the Fish Spirit Clan member had been gravely injured nearly to death and thus fell to Li Yuan as an easy target.


    Only after viewing the surveillance did they discover... the Fish Spirit Clan member had indeed been injured but still retained most of its strength.


    And Li Yuan, in a single encounter, punctured the creature''s eyes with a metal pipe.


    He then proceeded to smash its head with ferocity.


    This strength, this ferocity.


    Both the bald man and the brown curly-haired woman were taken aback.


    A high school senior? Since when had high school students become so formidable?


    "What''s your name?" the bald man looked at Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan." Li Yuan replied.


    "Li Yuan? Would you be interested in signing a contract with my Starry Sky Martial Hall?" The bald man revealed a smile which he assumed was kind, "I''m ''Lu Huai'', the Hall Master of the Guanshan branch of the Starry Sky Martial Hall."


    Li Yuan was startled.


    This bald man was a Hall Master, his position possibly comparable to that of Lord Wan?


    He must be a Prime Warrior.


    "Good to meet you, Hall Master Lu," Li Yuan shook his head. "I''ve already signed a pre-contract with the Starfire Martial Hall."


    After thinking, Li Yuan added, "A B-level contract."


    "Starfire Martial Hall? A B-level contract?" The bald man was taken aback, "I haven''t heard of this, have I?"


    "A B-level contract? Li Yuan, from the first high school?" The brown curly-haired woman''s eyes lit up as she teased the bald man with a wink, "Oh Lu, I remember now."


    "Last month, Xing Zixuan mentioned to me once that Lord Wan signed a B-level contract with a high school student."


    "Supposedly, it was poached from your Starry Sky Martial Hall, must be him."


    "I was intending to ask Lord Wan at the end-of-year meeting." The brown curly-haired woman smiled indulgently at Li Yuan, "No need to ask now, your courage for taking initiative, facing danger fearlessly, and your spear technique that''s close to the Fourth Level is enough to justify a B-level contract."


    Li Yuan grew increasingly confused as he listened.


    But he vaguely sensed that the brown curly-haired woman seemed quite familiar with Lord Wan.


    "Poached by my Starry Sky Martial Hall? I wasn''t aware," Lu Huai, the bald man, frowned slightly.


    He looked at Li Yuan unconsciously.


    "Don''t stare at Li Yuan. Don''t scare our little guy from the Martial Hall," the brown curly-haired woman glared at the bald man, "If you want to know, go ask your people at the Martial Hall."


    "Fine, I won''t ask him anymore," the bald man shook his head in resignation.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Come, let''s take a photo, sign your name," the brown curly-haired woman smiled at Li Yuan while opening her smart ring: "Don''t worry, I''ll report your deed of killing the Star Realm creature soon, and then notify your school. I''ll strive to get you an honorary title and a reward."


    "I appreciate it, senior," Li Yuan was still somewhat dazed, but let her lead.


    He quickly took a photo with the corpse of the Star Realm creature.


    And signed his name on the light screen of the woman''s ring.


    "Don''t call me a senior, my last name is Zuo." The brown curly-haired woman looked at Li Yuan: "I''m the Vice Hall Master of the Guanshan branch of the Starfire Martial Hall, in charge of battle readiness patrols and retrieving Star Realm creatures."


    "Vice Hall Master Zuo?" Li Yuan was slightly startled.


    He had heard other martial artists from the Starfire Martial Hall speak of her before, but he hadn''t paid much attention and didn''t look up her information previously.


    "You know me?" Vice Hall Master Zuo smiled at Li Yuan, "Killing a Star Realm creature must be a first for you, right? Do you want to take a day off and rest at home?"


    Killing a Star Realm creature for the first time, especially one of a humanoid species, could make many people nervous or even lead to psychological barriers.


    "No need to take leave."


    "Vice Hall Master Zuo, I should go to school," Li Yuan said seriously. "I still have classes today."


    "School?" Vice Hall Master Zuo was surprised, then she smiled, "I''ll give you a ride."

 Chapter 47: 45 This world has never been peaceful

    Li Yuan refused the Left Hall Master''s kind offer and, after a few more words, set off for school alone.


    However.


    Perhaps to protect Li Yuan, the Left Hall Master ordered two spider combat robots to follow him all the way, only leaving his side as he was about to enter the school.


    As for the school''s interior? In large cities nowadays, places like schools, research institutes, government buildings, and mega-malls are all stationed with combat robots.


    There are also numerous combat robots patrolling along the streets and through the residential areas.


    This is precisely why, despite some casualties, small-scale Star Realm Creature attacks are quickly exterminated once they are detected, and they hardly ever cause any significant commotion.


    This has become the urban defense system gradually established over the past hundred years, accompanied by the advancement of human civilization''s technology and the accumulation of experience.


    Entering the school, it was nearly seven.


    Li Yuan headed straight for the cafeteria.


    Despite the turmoil outside, it didn''t affect the cooks from preparing the meals on time.


    "Brother Yuan, over here." Zhou Qi called out to Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan bought soy milk and two bowls of hot dry noodles and sat down with his classmates.


    "Li Yuan, I''ve noticed that you''ve been arriving later and later these days," L¨« Tianyou said while taking big bites of his food.


    "Isn''t it because of the Star Realm Creature attack warnings? I only came out after the alerts were lifted," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Aren''t you the same?"


    "I also waited for the alert to be lifted."


    "My dad drove me to school, afraid of running into danger," others chimed in. "I heard that last night, a lot of people died on Binhu Road."


    "Sigh!"


    "Hopefully none from our school."


    While his classmates sighed over a Star Realm Creature attack that caused dozens of casualties, happening right in Guan Mountain District, they have also grown somewhat accustomed to it.


    The frequency was just too high.


    "Li Yuan," L¨« Tianyou said seriously, "It''s not just today, but for the past two months you''ve often arrived later in the morning than even me."


    "Are you slacking off a bit?"


    "Tired of studying, huh?" Li Yuan replied jokingly. "You''re the real study bug of our class."


    Ever since signing with Starfire Martial Hall and learning two Second Rank secret manuals, Li Yuan often practiced his Spear Technique and movement technique late into the night in the virtual internet.


    Therefore, he no longer arrived at school before five every day, and occasionally it would even be past six.


    "Tianyou, who do you think you are, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than donkeys?" Zhou Qi teased. "Look at you, you''ve become thinner than when school started. Take it easy."


    "Yeah, Tianyou, you''re pushing yourself too hard. Remember to eat more vitality and blood potions. In Martial Arts Cultivation, that''s an expense you can''t skimp on," Yan Zhou added.


    "Yes, I know," L¨« Tianyou replied softly, his head lowered as he ate.


    Li Yuan casually glanced at L¨« Tianyou.


    He could clearly see the Physical Quality Level of the other party...L¨« Tianyou''s training was indeed intense, but his physical quality hadn''t improved much.


    It was clear his nutrition was lagging behind.


    Li Yuan would occasionally give a side comment or two, but L¨« Tianyou only took it to heart in words...after enough times, Li Yuan chose to stay silent.


    Each person has their own fate, and one can only be responsible for oneself.


    "Brother Yuan, the January exams are coming up soon, and there''ll be another Spiritual Aptitude Test," Zhou Qi said, putting down his cutlery. "What do you think about it?"


    "Spiritual Aptitude Test?" Li Yuan was taken aback, soon shaking his head, "I don''t know."


    The other students had already begun discussing it.


    The Spiritual Aptitude Test adds 10% to the total score of the Martial Arts exam, which is enough to change one''s destiny and potentially allow students with no previous hope for Martial Arts University to reach its gates...


    In this era, unless one''s cultural exam scores could challenge the top universities, most students are well aware that the path of the Martial Path holds more promise than that of cultural studies.


    It''s just that Martial Arts University is extremely hard to get into.


    "[You have slain an Entry Rank creature and obtained Spiritual Nutrients, achieving a Spiritual Awakening Level of 0.6%]" Li Yuan quickly finished his breakfast and was engrossed in the recent message that appeared on his Mind Spirit Divine Palace panel.


    This notification.


    He received it after killing a member of the Fish Spirit Clan, and it even brought changes to the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: Level 7.8 (Unranked)]


    Physical Quality Index: 81 (Evaluates explosive power, endurance, speed, physique, spiritual power, and many other aspects.)


    Fist Strength: 732 kilograms


    Speed: 17.4 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 14.2


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 0.6% (Current upper limit: 20%)


    Physical Body Cultivation Method: "Solid Rock Cultivation Method"


    Mind Cultivation Method: "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture"


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Third Stage 88%), Body Technique (Third Stage 65%), Fist Technique (Third Stage 99%)


    [Note: When the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, you will gradually receive Spiritual Guidance.]


    ¡ª¡ª


    "Spiritual Awakening Level, what is that?" Li Yuan mused silently, "Is it related to how well-aligned it is with High Rank Cultivation Methods?"


    The Divine Palace panel did not offer an explanation.


    Or rather, ever since he became aware of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan had hardly received any explanations.


    Most of his understanding came from his own interpretations.


    "Judging by the last sentence on the Divine Palace panel, if my Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, will I receive Spiritual Guidance?" Li Yuan frowned, "But my current limit can only reach 20%."


    What is Spiritual Guidance? Li Yuan wasn''t sure.


    However, Li Yuan had a hunch that the high-level Spiritual Nature shown on the Divine Palace panel, and the Martial Spirit valued by human civilization, didn''t seem to be the same concept.


    "If I want to increase the Spiritual Awakening Level." Li Yuan thought reflectively, "Do I have to kill Entry Rank Star Realm Creatures? To obtain Spiritual Nourishment?"


    "Nourishment, is it to nurture my own Spiritual Nature?"


    With only one example, Li Yuan had no way to verify his guess.


    Nevertheless.


    With a Spiritual Awakening Level of 0.6%, Li Yuan felt as if he hadn''t changed at all.


    "Most likely, I need to raise the awakening level to 25% before any significant change occurs, and maybe I will receive benefits similar to the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture''." Li Yuan also held a sliver of hope in his heart, "But how do I increase the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening from 20% to 25%?"


    "Physical Quality? Or is it spiritual power?"


    "Or is it a breakthrough in Martial Arts Skills?"


    Li Yuan knew nothing.


    ...


    Regarding changes on the Divine Palace panel.


    After pondering without result, Li Yuan decisively ignored it.


    Up to this point, the Divine Palace panel had only recorded his Martial Arts Cultivation, it had never directly increased his strength... power still had to be obtained through Li Yuan''s step-by-step cultivation.


    "Regardless of what Spiritual Awakening is."


    "For now, I''ll follow the set routine for cultivation, and maybe I''ll understand when I am stronger," Li Yuan thought silently.


    Conducting experiments by killing Star Realm Creatures? Li Yuan dismissed this idea instantly.


    This time, the killing of the Fish Spirit Clan was partly because of Li Yuan''s strength and partly because of luck, as the enemy was injured.


    If he encounters an uninjured Entry Rank Star Realm Creature, even just level 11 or 12, Li Yuan would almost certainly lose, given their absolute advantage in Physical Quality.


    Moreover.


    Even if Li Yuan wanted to kill, where would he go?


    "No rush, I''ll think of a way when the upper limit reaches 25%," Li Yuan was very calm.


    ...


    "I have a piece of bad news to share with everyone." S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Last night, the Star Realm Creatures attacked, and one student from both Senior Year 2, Class 16 and Senior Year 3, Class 8 has been confirmed dead," the cultural class head teacher, Mr. Chen, stood at the lectern and announced solemnly.


    Silence fell over the room.


    Even a few students who had been whispering stopped.


    It wasn''t the first time, and those who passed weren''t classmates... but belonging to the same school was enough to touch all the students.


    "Star Realm Creatures," Li Yuan''s gaze sharpened as he subconsciously clenched his fists.


    Since childhood, almost everyone had lost friends and classmates to such incidents.


    "The school will initiate a fundraising activity. The supervisory account has been published on the school''s website," continued Mr. Chen, "The amount is not tallied, donor names will not be disclosed, no third parties are involved, and after the deadline, the funds will be directly transferred to the families of the two students."


    "Please donate according to your own situation, there is no obligation."


    "Alright, let''s continue with the lesson."


    "Everyone, look at the second-to-last major problem. This question is a popular type this year and is definitely going to appear in the college entrance exam. I have explained it many times, and many students are still getting it wrong. Today I will explain it one last time, it''s fifteen points I''m giving you, so listen carefully..."


    ...


    "About this Star Realm Creature attack."


    "The two students who passed away." Inside the Martial Arts classroom, the teacher Xu Bo, stood like a tower, his voice resounding like a bell, "I hope you understand."


    "This world has never been peaceful."


    "I don''t expect all of you to get into Martial Arts University, nor do I force you to join the army and go to the frontline, but I hope you don''t slack off in your Martial Path."


    "Be a little stronger."


    "In the future, if you encounter similar dangers, the hope of surviving will be a bit greater."


    ...


    The Star Realm Creature attack in Jiang City ultimately left eighty-six people dead.


    But it didn''t cause much of an uproar, and it didn''t even stay on the hot search list of Xia Country''s virtual networks for a full day.


    Because.


    At the Rob Sea, another unprecedentedly large battle erupted anew, with Star Realm Creatures attacking like a tide, and in just one day, the military reported over three thousand deaths...


    ...


    January 3, 2043, Jiang City, the January Mock Exam for Senior Year 3, was held as scheduled.

 Chapter 48: 46 January Adjustment Exam (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)

    The mid-year exam in January lasted for three days.


    From the first day to the second day''s morning, cultural subject exams were conducted, and in the afternoon of the second day, the "Spiritual Aptitude Test" took place.


    The Martial Dao Assessment was scheduled for the third day.


    ...Li Yuan did not disrupt his cultivation plan because of the exam; he still arrived at school a little after four as usual to practice the Basic Cultivation Method.


    At seven o''clock, after showering in the Martial Arts Room, he hurried to the canteen for breakfast.


    Then he rushed to the examination venue with Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, and the others.


    The January mid-year exam was one of the two most important large-scale standardized tests before the college entrance exam; both the Education Bureau and the schools took it extremely seriously.


    All the standards were strictly modeled after the college entrance exam requirements, such as not being able to bring smart rings and other devices into the exam halls, among various other checks... The 20 classes were divided into 40 exam venues in total.


    The seating arrangement in the cultural exam halls was determined by the rankings from the last major exam''s cultural subjects.


    "Brother Yuan, we''re heading upstairs," Zhou Qi waved, laughing.


    "Brother Yuan, do well in the exam; we''ll be waiting for you upstairs."


    A group of classmates teased Li Yuan as they went up, where higher floors signified higher rankings.


    "These guys," Li Yuan shook his head with a smile.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan glanced at the admission ticket in Li Tianyou''s hand and smiled, "Tianyou, I''m in exam room 29, and you''re only in room 33, huh? Do well, I''ll be waiting for you upstairs."


    With that, Li Yuan too ascended the stairs.


    Leaving behind a disheveled Li Tianyou.


    ...Students in exam room 29 belong to the lower-middle ranks in terms of cultural subjects at Guan Mountain District''s top high school.


    However, as a key high school, even students from exam room 35 have hopes of being admitted into a first-tier university specializing in cultural studies.


    After sitting down, Li Yuan looked around and saw many familiar faces.


    Apart from classmates from his own class, it seemed that quite a few were from the Elite Class.


    Students of the Martial Arts Elite Class generally didn''t score high on cultural subjects.


    Energy is limited for everyone; without investment, it''s hard to achieve good returns.


    "Gu Qianghan, you''re here too?" Li Yuan smiled at the person next to him.


    "Just call me Gu Qiang," the handsome youth responded stubbornly.


    "Alright, Xiao Qiang," Li Yuan laughed, "I remember your sister called you by that name a few days ago."


    Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan often encountered each other as they both had private Martial Arts Rooms on the fourth floor of the Elite building.


    The handsome young man glared and stood, as if he wanted to dispute this with Li Yuan.


    "The invigilator is here, your homeroom teacher," Li Yuan pointed towards the distance, sitting upright.


    The young man quickly sat down and turned his head, finding no one; annoyed, he turned back to Li Yuan, "You fooled me."


    "She''s really here this time," Li Yuan said seriously, "Your homeroom teacher."


    "I don''t believe you," Gu Qianghan showed Li Yuan the middle finger, his face filled with contempt.


    "Gu Qianghan!"


    "Sit down! The test papers are about to be distributed!" A stern voice suddenly exploded from the entrance of the classroom; Gu Qianghan shivered and immediately bent his head and sat down.


    The homeroom teacher of the senior year Martial Arts Elite class was a female Martial Artist.


    At Guan Mountain District''s top high school, she and Xu Bo were known as the ''Cultural Martial Asuras''.


    ...


    The cultural subject exams that lasted a day and a half were uneventful for Li Yuan.


    For over a year, Li Yuan''s spiritual power had steadily increased, making it extremely easy for him to memorize rote learning material.


    However, an increase in spiritual power did not directly translate to an increase in intelligence, and since he spent very little time on cultural subjects... Li Yuan was clear-headed about this.


    "People like Zhou Qi, with their good academic performance and the amount of time they spend studying."


    "My ranking in cultural subjects should improve slightly compared to the last exam... but I''m not expecting a dramatic change," Li Yuan mused. "Just do my best."


    ...


    After finishing the cultural subjects exam, all the students returned to their classrooms where many began comparing their answers.


    "What was the answer to the last multiple-choice question in math? Was it B?" a conspicuous student eagerly asked.


    "It should be C," replied a student who normally scored nearly perfect on math.


    "But I guessed randomly, so maybe I''m the one who''s wrong," the math prodigy added.


    "Damn, I initially calculated C, but then changed it to B... I feel like I won''t score over 150 in math again," the conspicuous student said, frustrated.


    With a total of 200 points, math was the most significant subject.


    In the midst of the noisy discussions,


    Li Yuan sat at his desk, lost in thought.


    He never compared answers.


    Not out of confidence, but indifference.


    Cultural subjects totaled 1000 points, but if one chose to apply to Martial Arts University, the cultural score would be converted to 100 points, accounting for only 10%.


    For Li Yuan, there was only a 10-point difference on the total score between scoring 700 and 800 in cultural subjects.


    But the amount of effort required was vastly different.


    "According to tradition, the difficulty of the January mid-year exam is higher than that of the college entrance exam," Li Yuan calculated silently, "This time, I should''ve got all the basic points; scoring over 650 in cultural subjects would mean success."


    Suddenly.


    Chen, the homeroom teacher of the cultural class, entered the room with a stern expression, "Everyone sit down; we have the schedule for the Spiritual Aptitude Test. Our class starts at 2 PM; we''re the first to be tested."


    The senior year (1) class was the Elite Class and had all awakened their Martial Spirit, so there was no need for retesting.


    The senior year (2) class was the first one to be tested.


    "After the test, we''ll have self-study," Chen instructed, then left the class.


    "The Spiritual Aptitude Test! It''s coming again."


    "I wonder if I can change my fate."


    "Stop dreaming."


    "Wake up, it''s senior year; I''m not peeing yellow enough to sprinkle you," the students once again began discussing among themselves.


    Many top cultural class students had already silently taken out their books to resume studying.


    If choosing the cultural path, even if one awakened the Martial Spirit, it wouldn''t grant any extra credit.


    "Brother Yuan, your physical quality seems to have surpassed level 7.0; you must have awakened," Zhou Qi said cheerfully.


    "Maybe," Li Yuan replied thoughtfully.


    He wasn''t certain if a 0.6% Spiritual Awakening Level would bring any change.


    ...


    An hour and a half later.


    "I''ve awakened the Martial Spirit?" Zhou Qi walked out of the testing room, both shocked and baffled, staring at his test result in disbelief.


    This caught the attention of the surrounding classmates.


    "Zhou Qi, he has actually awakened?"


    "This?" A buzz of discussion arose, almost all the students found it unbelievable.


    Zhou Qi''s Martial Path grades in class were known to be among the lowest.


    "Zhou Qi has awakened?" Li Yuan cracked a slight smile, glancing at the ''unawakened'' marked on his own test slip.


    He had anticipated his own lack of awakening, as the Divine Palace panel had basically explained.


    But how could Zhou Qi''s compatibility with high-rank cultivation methods exceed 85% in the senior year?


    "Some pursue tirelessly and fail to attain, while others gain without even hoping for it." Li Yuan glanced at the doorway of a distant testing room.


    Li Tianyou was looking enviously at Zhou Qi, who had become the center of attention.


    "Sometimes, it really is about fate," Li Yuan remarked with a sigh.


    ...The testing for Class 3 of the senior year concluded.


    In the end, only Zhou Qi succeeded in awakening.


    As one gets older, with the body and skeleton becoming set, the hope of attaining compatibility with high-level cultivation methods grows bleaker.


    For Class 3 of the senior year to witness the continuous awakening of two students'' Martial Spirits within a single term was already a rare occurrence.


    ...


    In the Martial Dao Assessment, the tests for Qi and blood, Fist Strength, and Martial Arts Skills were all closed tests; other students wouldn''t learn of the specific data immediately.


    But the physical quality tests such as forty meters, one hundred meters, one kilometer, ten kilometers.


    These were public.


    On the third day of the January exams.


    The students of Class 3 of the senior year followed behind the Elite Class students, arriving at the school''s largest playground.


    There, they could undergo a ten-thousand-meter running test.


    However, the first physical test was the forty-meter sprint.


    "The speed of those in the Elite Class is so fast."


    "14.5 meters per second!"


    "That one, reaching 15.7 meters per second, his physical quality is definitely over level 7."


    "Damn! Damn! 17.2 meters per second? That''s close to level 8."


    "Well-deserving of the Elite Class." Next to Li Yuan, classmates watched as the Elite Class students crossed the finish line, bursting into exclamations from time to time.


    No wonder the students of Class 3 were so amazed; their physical qualities were generally just over level 5.


    In the Elite Class, after half a year of cultivation in their senior year, even the weakest had surpassed level 6, and quite a few were over 7.0.


    Cultivating high-level methods, even if one could only absorb traces of Cosmic Origin Power each time, conferred a massive advantage over average people.


    Of course, among the Elite Class students, those with a Physical Quality of level 8.0 were still few and far in between.


    "Look, it''s Lin Lanyue."


    "First in Martial Arts Skills among the grade."


    "It''s her."


    On the track, the girl in red training gear, with bright eyes and white teeth, immediately drew everyone''s gaze.


    No help for it, Lin Lanyue''s fame was too great among the senior year.


    "Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan also turned curious and looked over; it was true that her physical quality was extremely strong.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    On the track, six figures burst into a sprint at once, with the crimson silhouette unleashing a terrifying speed.


    In just over two seconds, Lin Lanyue had already crossed the finish line, far ahead of the other students. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the distant display, Lin Lanyue''s final result also appeared¡ª"19.7 meters per second"


    "Holy shit."


    "Is this a high school student?"


    "She''s almost a Martial Artist."


    "Damn, she''s twice as fast as I am; one punch from her could definitely kill me." Waves of astonishment rose amongst the crowd, filled with shock.


    Li Yuan''s eyes fell upon Lin Lanyue and with a thought, the inquiry results appeared before him [Target person, Life Level: 9.0]


    "Level 9.0?" Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    Upon a slight comparison, Li Yuan concluded, "Her body''s rate of improvement doesn''t seem slower than mine."


    Logically, as one progresses, the rate of physical quality improvement should slow down.


    Yet, Lin Lanyue''s physical quality improvement showed not a hint of deceleration and there was even a trend of accelerating.


    The 40-meter test proceeded very quickly.


    It wasn''t long before it was Class 3''s turn.


    "Random student numbers, first group, number 36, number 1, number 8..." The proctor rapidly announced the exam numbers.


    Li Yuan, as the top martial arts student of the class, was number 1.


    He took his place at the starting line.


    "Is Li Yuan being tested?"


    "What''s his level of physical quality?"


    "Don''t know."


    "Should be over level 7, I think he was 6.5 at the start of the semester," Li Yuan''s appearance also drew many students'' attention.


    Even many Elite Class students looked over.


    Li Yuan, with the ability to make it into the top thirty of the general class and recognized as the first in Martial Arts Skills.


    Especially after defeating Lin Lanyue in the last virtual fight, he had gained a considerable reputation at the school.


    "Lanyue, look, it''s Li Yuan... Oh, you''re already watching him." The slightly plump girl beside her was about to call Lin Lanyue.


    She then realized that Lin Lanyue had already stopped walking.


    "Li Yuan?" Lin Lanyue watched intently; she was quite curious.


    How did Li Yuan manage to sign a B-level contract with Starfire Martial Hall?


    Perhaps this exam period might reveal some reasons.


    "Lanyue, what do you think Li Yuan''s physical quality level is now?" her chubby best friend asked curiously.


    "Him?" Lin Lanyue hesitated, "Maybe it''s 7.4."


    "That high?" The best friend was a bit surprised; that level of physical quality would almost break into the top ten of the Elite Class.


    At that moment,


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh! The six on the track had already burst from the start, Li Yuan like an arrow, instantly leaving the five classmates far behind.


    Pulling nearly double the distance, he crossed the finish line directly.


    "Beep¡ª"


    On the electronic display, Li Yuan''s result instantly appeared¡ª"17.8 meters per second"

 Chapter 49: 47: Only Wishing for No Regrets

    "17.8 meters per second?"


    "I didn''t see that wrong, did I?"


    "How can he be so fast? That''s ridiculous, is he from the ordinary class?"


    "Brother Yuan is awesome!"


    "Li Yuan is too impressive." Outside the testing area, hundreds of students burst into exclamations.


    The students of Class 3 (2), being Li Yuan''s classmates, were mostly shocked and excited. If one had to describe it in a sentence, it would be ''Li Yuan is getting more and more awesome.''


    But for the students in the Elite Class, although they were also shocked, their reactions were more like ''This Li Yuan is this awesome?''


    "He really hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit?"


    "With that kind of physical quality, he''s almost at level 8.0, perhaps he is already at 8.0." Students of the Elite Class discussed fervently, some in disbelief.


    As Elite Class students, when it comes to ordinary class students, they mostly feel a sense of superiority.


    Before, they knew Li Yuan was impressive, especially his Martial Arts Skills, even Lin Lanyue couldn''t compare to Li Yuan.


    However, not having awakened the Martial Spirit meant in their subconscious that the cultivation speed would be much slower.


    But Li Yuan''s current performance? It''s already crushing most of the students in the Elite Class.


    "What the hell! He''s even slightly faster than me, his physical quality is almost the same as mine? How did he improve so fast?"


    Gu Qianghan''s eyes widened: "Doesn''t that mean his raw score is going to outstrip mine?"


    Gu Qianghan, at the end of his second year, ranked third in the grade for Martial Arts performance.


    However, Gu Qianghan''s forty-meter burst speed test was only 17.6 meters per second.


    "Lanyue, him?"


    The plump girl standing next to Lin Lanyue gaped: "With that burst speed, he''d be ranked third in our class, right?"


    Lin Lanyue ignored her best friend, falling into contemplation: "How did he do it? Is this why he was able to sign with Starfire Martial Hall?"


    A winter''s day, the sunshine was just right, with a gentle breeze that wasn''t too dry.


    The girl stared at the handsome young man in the crowd, dressed in a white Martial Arts uniform.


    The young man had a radiant smile on his face as he accepted the enthusiastic cheers from his classmates, yet he did not look towards the girl.


    "Lanyue, stop daydreaming."


    The plump girl couldn''t help but nudge the girl''s hand: "I admit Li Yuan is very handsome, seemingly more so than any of the boys in our class, but you don''t have to moon over him this much."


    "You''re the one mooning over him." Lin Lanyue shot her friend a glance: "I''m just curious how he could improve so quickly."


    "Curious?"


    Plump girl Peng Qiqi chuckled mischievously: "Curiosity is the first step to falling, if you don''t want the handsome guy, I won''t be polite."


    "It looks like you''re the one about to fall." Lin Lanyue raised her head slightly: "Besides, I don''t think Li Yuan is handsome. We are Martial Artist Students, we first look at strength, appearance is not important."


    "You don''t find him handsome?" Peng Qiqi teased: "Then, you wouldn''t approve of any of the boys in our school."


    "To get my approval, they at least have to first get to the podium," Lin Lanyue said with the corners of her mouth curved slightly, pulling her friend''s hand: "Let''s go, it''s time to gather for the 100-meter test."


    "Podium?"


    "Lanyue, listen to what you''re saying," Peng Qiqi exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Only the top Martial Arts performer in the grade can get to the podium, who can compete with you? Oh, I get it, you''ve got your eye on the junior boys from the first and second year?"


    "So you like them young!"


    ¡­


    "Young man, are you truly from the ordinary class?" Two proctors from other schools, similarly astonished by Li Yuan''s strength, asked.


    Among the third-year students, not having awakened the Martial Spirit and having physical quality surpassing 6.5 is extraordinarily rare.


    Not to mention standards like 7.9 or 8.0.


    The two teachers paused the test temporarily to check the equipment while reconfirming Li Yuan''s identity from afar.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Impressive, Guan Mountain District has produced another promising youngster," commented one of the older Martial Arts Teachers, unable to help himself: "Young man, work hard, even without the Spiritual Nature bonus, with your physical quality, you have a chance to get into the Warrior Class of Jiangbei Martial University."


    "Thank you, teacher," Li Yuan smiled and said.


    The Warrior Class at Jiangbei Martial University, similar to the Elite Class, would receive the best cultivation from Jiangbei Martial University.


    But that was not Li Yuan''s goal.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and the physical testing of one hundred meters, one kilometer, and ten kilometers were conducted in succession.


    Lin Lanyue was the most notable.


    Her displayed physical quality was truly leading by a steep margin, not only far surpassing all the Elite Class students but also well ahead of the second place.


    And the one who garnered nearly as much attention as her was Li Yuan.


    In terms of physical testing data, there were several students like Gu Qianghan in the Elite Class who were no less than him.


    However, Li Yuan was too special; he was just an ordinary class student, unable to practice High Rank Cultivation Methods... yet his physical quality had already surpassed more than ninety percent of the students in the Elite Class.


    "Li Yuan''s improvement is too exaggerated."


    "He really hasn''t awakened the Martial Spirit? How could his physical quality increase so fast?"


    "I just checked, by the end of second year, based on score conversion, his physical quality should have only been at level 6.0."


    "In just half a year, his physical quality has improved by almost 2 levels, even more exaggerated than the top students of the Elite Class." S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "By the time of the college entrance exams, how high will his physical quality be? Level 9? He''s not going to become a Martial Artist already, is he?"


    "With Martial Arts Skills, he is first, and his physical quality is also this impressive?"


    ```


    "How high will his Martial Arts Score be after this assessment exam? I feel he can make it into the top twenty of our grade."


    "The top twenty for sure, maybe even the top ten."


    "The top ten? Impossible."


    "He hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit, and it''s normal for those in the top ten to receive bonus points for their Spiritual Nature. For Li Yuan to reach the top ten is too difficult, no matter how high his Martial Arts Skills score is, it can''t be perfect." Many students in the senior third grade were discussing this.


    For a time, Li Yuan virtually became a famous figure in the school, attracting much attention.


    The underdog''s counterattack has always been the most popular topic amongst the masses.


    Li Yuan was not weak, but his lack of an awakened Martial Spirit resonated with most ordinary students and made them favor him.


    Even engendering a sense of vicariousness¡ªso what if he hasn''t awakened? He''s still awesome.


    ...The three-day January assessment exams came to an end.


    That evening was self-study class, and the exam results would be posted the following day during class.


    Around seven in the evening.


    Inside Martial Arts Room 7024 of the Guan Mountain District''s branch of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Boom!"


    "Hoo!" "Bang!" Li Yuan, dressed in a loose martial arts outfit, was practicing the Solid Rock Fist Technique.


    This Fist Technique was in harmony with the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique, or one might say, the Fist Technique was a direct evolution of the Cultivation Stance Practice and Practice Method.


    Each movement, though seemingly slow, was fiercely explosive in its action.


    "Fist Technique is about control over one''s body."


    "Spear Technique is about control over one''s weapon."


    "When my Spear Technique broke through to the Third Stage, it was actually my Fist Technique that had broken through first." Li Yuan concentrated on his cultivation, glancing unconsciously at the Divine Palace panel: "My Spear Technique has just broken through to 90% of the Third Stage, but my Fist Technique has long reached 99% of the Third Stage."


    "Spear Technique at Fourth Level emphasizes Body-Mind-Weapon Integration."


    "Yet for Fist Technique at Fourth Level, it''s simply about Body and Mind Unity." Li Yuan pondered silently, "If I can''t even achieve perfect Body and Mind Unity, how can I manage to achieve Body-Mind-Weapon Integration?"


    Body and Mind Unity is the foundation for Body-Mind-Weapon Integration.


    The spear and fist are inseparable.


    Practicing the spear essentially means practicing the fist, but Li Yuan would still occasionally focus on practicing his Fist Technique.


    "According to the Divine Palace panel, my Physical Quality level is 7.8, but based on the real data I''ve demonstrated today, I should be similar to the other students at level 7.9." Li Yuan''s thoughts roamed: "Based on the university entrance exam standards, my score for Physical Quality should be around 435 points."


    "For Martial Arts Skills score, I didn''t make any mistakes today, so I''m definitely over 380 points." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    360 points is the benchmark for the Third Stage.


    To reach 380 points, Li Yuan estimated, one would have to attain at least Intermediate Rank Third Stage skills.


    With his own Spear Technique skills close to Perfection of Third Stage, how many points he could get was unclear to him.


    "However."


    "Even by the most conservative estimate, as long as I score over 65 points in the academic subjects, my total Martial Arts Score should exceed 880 points." Li Yuan recited inwardly, "Hopefully enough to break into the top ten."


    Breaking into the top ten of his grade, Li Yuan was fairly confident.


    But the top five?


    "Small hope, not going to be presumptuous." Li Yuan threw a punch with such force that it made the air around him seem to explode.


    There was no sense of loss in Li Yuan''s heart.


    What had to be done had been done to the fullest; the rest was waiting.


    "Whatever the result, I have no regrets, so why should I create more worries for myself?" Li Yuan''s heart was as calm as still water as he continued to practice his Fist Technique in silence.


    The heart of a martial artist seeks only to be without regrets.


    ...


    At nine o''clock in the evening, at the principal''s office of Guan Mountain District''s top high school.


    Principal Tan Zhenlong was still working overtime.


    "Beep¡ª" The sound of the intelligent assistant rang out, "Master, Teacher Xu Bo is calling you on video."


    "Xu Bo?"


    "That guy really can''t wait even a quarter of an hour," Tan Zhenlong shook his head with a smile, put down the performance list in his hand and said, "Xiao Jiu, connect the call."


    Whirr~ An assembly of light converged, forming a screen.


    The imposing figure of Xu Bo appeared in the screen projection.


    "Old Tan, have you seen the January assessment exam results?" Xu Bo''s face was full of smiles.


    "I have."


    Tan Zhenlong nodded slightly and spoke indifferently, "Why are you looking for me so late, Teacher Xu?"


    "It''s about Li Yuan." Xu Bo replied.


    "Li Yuan?" Tan Zhenlong nodded, "He performed quite well."


    "So what?" Xu Bo looked at Tan Zhenlong.


    "So what?" Tan Zhenlong''s mouth curled with a smile as he looked at Xu Bo.


    "What''s with that attitude." Xu Bo glared, "You old rascal, don''t pretend to be clueless with me, I have video proof from last time."


    "Hurry up."


    "I''ve already sent you the scholarship application, get it approved quickly."

 Chapter 50: 48: 900 Points? Final Rankings

    January 6, 2043.


    Li Yuan did not practice "Stellar Spear Technique" or "Dragon Movement Scripture" in the virtual network today.


    So, as usual, he left the house a little after three in the morning.


    "It''s been several days since I last saw the night of Jiang City at three in the morning," Li Yuan looked up at the pitch-black sky, "I still cannot slack off in my daily practice."


    He arrived at his personal martial arts room at school.


    As usual, he first practiced the Basic Cultivation Method for two hours before starting to practice with the spear.


    "Shua!"


    "Shua!" The shadows of the spear moved unpredictably as Li Yuan manipulated his long spear in his hand.


    As he moved with the steps, sometimes the spear was like a sudden gust of wind or torrential rain, sometimes dreamy and elusive, and sometimes fierce and violent.


    Sometimes a sudden straight thrust would cause the speed of the spear''s tip to soar, making the air roar and explode.


    The eighteen routines of "Solid Rock Spear Technique" had long been perfected to the extreme by Li Yuan.


    "I have fully grasped the five deadly moves of the Solid Rock Spear Technique," he said to himself.


    "Following Teacher Xu Bo''s guidance, what I need to do now is to practice over and over, engraving the flow of vigor from the five deadly moves deep into my bones," Li Yuan thought. "In the end, without deliberately using any particular move, any spear technique I execute should reach a state of flawless vigor."


    "Body and mind as one."


    "Then that''s Fourth Level Spear Technique," Li Yuan mused. "Improvement in skills can only rely on oneself."


    "According to the intelligent teacher, the breakthrough from the perfection of Third Stage to Fourth Level is a mysterious one, a breakthrough in the spiritual consciousness'' perception of the body."


    "Some martial artists may break through just by having a sleep and feeling it."


    "Some may have an epiphany during a life-and-death battle, leading to a breakthrough."


    "But many more martial artists are stuck at the perfection of Third Stage for their entire lives."


    "There is no absolute path to success from Third Stage to Fourth Level," Li Yuan pondered. "What I need to do now is to practice over and over again."


    "If a thousand times is not enough."


    "Then ten thousand times it is!"


    "First, I''ll train my spear technique to 99% of the Third Stage," Li Yuan''s heart was filled with longing. "Then go and fight in virtual combat, go to real battle."


    Years of spear practice told Li Yuan.


    If you can''t break through?


    Then it''s not enough accumulation! Just keep training!


    "Read a book a thousand times, and its meaning will appear," Li Yuan swung the large spear in his hand. "The same goes for the spear."


    "You only ever hear about Spear Technique Masters who practiced their way there."


    Over an hour later.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has increased from 90% of the Third Stage to 91% of the Third Stage.]


    ...


    Around seven o''clock, Li Yuan arrived at the classroom.


    Most of the students had already arrived.


    However, compared to the usual scene where most students were earnestly studying on their own, the atmosphere in the classroom today was much more somber, with most people distracted.


    "Old Zhou, why the long face?" Li Yuan sat down, pulling out his test papers while asking.


    "Brother Yuan, the results for the January mock exams are about to be announced," Zhou Qi said glumly. "Aren''t you nervous?"


    "Not nervous," Li Yuan shook his head. "It''s just a few points difference."


    "I forgot you''re a martial arts student; cultural classes only account for 100 points," Zhou Qi sighed. "But I''m a cultural student, if I do poorly, I''ll get skinned alive when I get home."


    "Then you''d be ''Zhou the Skinner,''" Li Yuan said offhandedly.


    Zhou Qi gave Li Yuan a helpless look, too lazy to even retort.


    "You haven''t told your family about your awakening of Martial Spirit, have you?" Li Yuan inquired.


    "I told them," Zhou Qi replied. "But what good does that do? My dad just asked me one question: with only a few months left, can you make it into Martial Arts University?"


    "A person must be self-aware. I didn''t even hope to get into Martial Arts University," Zhou Qi said. "So, I''ve decided not to go to the Elite Class."


    "Just learn the High Level Cultivation Method and that''s enough."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Indeed, Zhou Qi''s physical quality was only at 4.3 levels up till now, and his martial arts score was quite terrible.


    Not going to the Elite Class couldn''t be called wrong.


    "It''s good too," Li Yuan smiled. "With the awakening of Martial Spirit, you can cultivate High Level Cultivation Method, and your martial arts score will improve much faster."


    "Even if you go the cultural route, martial arts still account for 30% of the score."


    "Mm-hm," Zhou Qi nodded.


    At that moment.


    The homeroom teacher of the cultural class, dressed in a small chanel-style jacket and pencil pants, appeared at the front door of the classroom.


    Teacher Chen''s face was as dark as water, holding a stack of papers and two ranking lists in his hands.


    Instantly!


    The classroom fell silent, everyone knew that the rankings were about to be unveiled.


    Especially the students who chose the cultural path, each of them became nervous, many involuntarily bowed their heads.


    All were inwardly chanting ''don''t call my name.''


    Of course, there were also a few with excellent grades, hoping in their hearts ''maybe this time I did well, I can improve by a few ranks.''


    For martial arts students like Li Yuan, they were relatively calm by comparison since, at least, they had a rough idea of their own martial arts scores.


    "Bang~" The test papers were thrown onto the podium.


    The atmosphere grew even more tense.


    "This January mock exam really revealed your true levels; hanging around all nonchalant, not studying culture properly, not practicing martial dao diligently..." Teacher Chen''s voice was icy. "All of you think that just being in Guan High will get you into a first-tier university? Dream on!"


    "Based on the citywide rankings this time, some of you would struggle to make it into a second-tier university, and I won''t call out any names - you know who you are!" Teacher Chen scolded like a machine gun.


    Many students bowed their heads even lower.


    The January mock exam.


    As the first major standardized test of the final year in high school, the cultural paper was intentionally difficult, aiming to undermine the students'' confidence, to get them to settle down and review better.


    At this stage, Teacher Chen, as the homeroom teacher of the cultural class, would not allow her students to develop any sense of pride.


    She scolded relentlessly for more than ten minutes, without repeating herself once.


    Even Li Yuan, with his strong psychological fortitude, started to doubt if he was one of the ''very few people, rotten mouse droppings, certain individuals'' that Teacher Chen was referring to.


    Finally.


    "But there are very few students who have made significant progress, and they deserve encouragement," Ms. Chen said lightly, "Okay, I''ll start with the academic scores now. Everyone listen carefully."


    In high school, there is no emphasis on protecting students'' grade privacy.


    "Li Shutong, 889 points," Ms. Chen paused: "Second in academic performance for the grade."


    This immediately caused a burst of exclamations. A score over 850 points in academics is a clear indication of a top student.


    "Li Wanxing, 868 points."


    ...


    "Zhou Qi, 849 points."


    Zhou Qi, with his head bowed, suddenly lifted it slightly, his face full of pride. His academic performance was quite good.


    One by one, the students'' grades were announced, some beaming with joy, others showing frustration on their faces.


    Where there''s ranking, some rise and some must fall.


    There are always half dissatisfied.


    "Li Yuan, 742 points," Ms. Chen added when she read Li Yuan''s name: "Not bad, a great improvement."


    Instantly, many students turned to look at Li Yuan, which made him somewhat embarrassed.


    They don''t praise the ones with over eight hundred points.


    Praise his score in the seven hundreds?


    "Brother Yuan, didn''t you score just over six hundred points last time?" Zhou Qi widened his eyes at Li Yuan: "An increase of nearly one hundred points?"


    "Yeah, I''ve spent more time reviewing recently," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "You''re full of it," Zhou Qi immediately retorted: "When have you ever attended the academic study sessions in the evening?"


    "I was reviewing in the Martial Arts room," Li Yuan said frankly.


    The scores of each student were read out.


    Li Tianyou''s score was 586 points, which was near the bottom of the class. As for the academic performance ranking for the grade, it likely fell short of the last time.


    In fact, among the ten or so Martial Artist Students, Li Yuan''s academic performance was already a steep lead.


    ...


    After the academic grades were announced, Ms. Chen didn''t pause and went straight on: "Now I will read out the Martial Arts scores, listen carefully."


    All ears perked up to listen.


    The academic results were known, and knowing the Martial Arts results meant they could calculate the overall score and see where they stood.


    Ms. Chen looked at the second transcript and unconsciously glanced at Li Yuan, seemingly hesitant.


    "Li Yuan," Ms. Chen paused for a moment before slowly saying: "827 points."


    Boom!


    The entire classroom exploded in an instant, and many people looked at Li Yuan with a shocked gaze.


    They doubted if they heard that right.


    You should know, this Martial Arts score doesn''t include the academic conversion points. In other words, the total possible score is only 900 points.


    Li Yuan exceeded 800 points?


    And by several tens of points!


    It was known that although Li Yuan had stolen the show at yesterday''s Martial Dao Assessment, he hadn''t dominated quite like Lin Lanyue, but now this result was truly exaggerated.


    "827 points? Brother Yuan, you have 74 points added for your academic conversion. Adding that up," Zhou Qi already started calculating for Li Yuan: "Holy shit! Brother Yuan, your total Martial Arts score exceeded 900 points!!"


    "A raw score of 901 points," Zhou Qi couldn''t help but exclaim.


    "901 points?"


    "A raw score over 900 points? Li Yuan." All students were shocked.


    It was just too fierce.


    Academic performance might be boosted substantially in a short time, but improving in Martial Arts generally happens very slowly.


    "Cough, cough, quiet!" Ms. Chen coughed twice, regaining calm in the class.


    "Li Yuan really did well this time."


    "Physical Quality score of 438 points, third in the grade," Ms. Chen said: "Martial Arts Skills... 389 points, first in the grade."


    "This single score in Martial Arts Skills is also the first in Guan Mountain District and second in Jiang City."


    Boom!


    All the students in the class were once again excited and shocked.


    Whether it was the 389 points in Martial Arts Skills or the second-in-city ranking for that category.


    Both were somewhat beyond their comprehension.


    Normally, such martial arts scores shouldn''t appear in their ordinary class. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was practically fantasy.


    "389 points?" Li Yuan remained very calm in his heart, muttering to himself: "Not bad, it seems that to surpass 390 or even get close to a perfect score, I''ll probably have to reach the Fourth Level in Spear Technique."


    With a total Martial Arts score of 901 points, the result was way better than Li Yuan had expected.


    "Teacher, Li Yuan has a total Martial Arts score of 901, what rank is he in the grade, did he make it into the top ten?" Suddenly, a student couldn''t help but speak out.


    The others, too, were looking at Ms. Chen with curious and expectant gazes.


    A total score over 900 points.


    Even without extra points for Spiritual Nature, the ranking for the grade must be quite astonishing.


    Li Yuan also looked towards Ms. Chen, his fist clenched slightly.


    Could he be in the top five?


    "In terms of the raw score, Li Yuan is second," Ms. Chen said directly: "The first place in Martial Arts raw score is from the Elite Class, Lin Lanyue, with 929 points."


    "As for the final total score, Li Yuan ranks sixth in the grade and two hundred and twelfth in the city," Ms. Chen''s face revealed a rare smile: "Based on the rankings from previous years, this score gives him a chance to break into the top five famous schools."


    Clearly, Ms. Chen was extremely satisfied with Li Yuan''s performance.


    "The top five famous schools?"


    "A citywide ranking, reaching over two hundred names?"


    "Sixth in the grade?" The other students were even more stunned and couldn''t help but look at Li Yuan.


    "Brother Yuan, that''s freaking awesome!!" Zhou Qi was even more excited than Li Yuan.


    "Sixth in the grade?" Li Yuan''s face only showed a slight smile as he sighed inwardly: "Still short by one rank, huh?"

 Chapter 51: 49: Invitation from Martial Arts University

    Last September.


    When Teacher Xu Bo helped to apply for a Second-Class scholarship, he had promised Li Yuan that as long as he ranked within the top ten in the grade, he would be awarded a First-Class scholarship of 100,000 Blue Star Coins.


    If he ranked within the top five, he would be awarded a Special Scholarship of 500,000 Blue Star Coins.


    "Just one spot short." Li Yuan sighed quietly to himself.


    He did not feel particularly disappointed in his heart, having given his all, there wasn''t a need to dwell on it further.


    It''s not reasonable to expect others to underperform.


    "It''s enough."


    "At least, I can get 100,000 Blue Star Coins." Li Yuan thought, "Moreover, a few days ago when I encountered the Left Hall Master at the Martial Hall, the Left Hall Master said that the achievements and rewards from the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Hall were about to be distributed, which probably meant a substantial amount of money."


    Li Yuan''s bank account currently still had a considerable number of Blue Star Coins and Martial Hall Points.


    But his martial arts cultivation was like a gold-consuming cave, consuming them just as fast.


    Naturally, he had to think of a solution.


    "Li Yuan, keep up the good work," Teacher Chen on the platform glanced at Li Yuan before continuing, "I hope the other students will learn more from Li Yuan."


    "Now I will read the martial arts scores of the others; listen carefully."


    "Li Tianyou, 685 points," Teacher Chen said.


    Li Tianyou followed closely behind Li Yuan, ranking second in the class for martial arts achievement.


    However, though he ranked second, his score gap with Li Yuan was astonishing.


    "685 points?" Li Tianyou''s face relaxed slightly.


    But he still didn''t look too pleased.


    With 685 points, plus his academic converted score of 59 points, his total martial arts score was only 744, making the prospect of getting into a martial arts university quite slim.


    "Am I still not working hard enough?" Li Tianyou clenched his fists silently, somewhat unreconciled: "If I had more resources for cultivation, more guidance from teachers, my score could definitely have been much higher."


    Li Tianyou was not foolish.


    He practiced his cultivation madly, to the point that even his body was starting to fail to keep up. He was aware of the occasional well-meaning advice from other students.


    But, what can be done when there''s not much money at home?


    "Gu Yaoyao, 664 points," Teacher Chen continued reading the scores.


    Most of the students'' martial arts scores were quite ordinary, with no significant fluctuations.


    Martial arts cultivation requires talent, and even more so, resources.


    If one says that for academic exams, there are occasional flashes of brilliance, extraordinary performances.


    Then, in martial arts assessments, there are only two possibilities: normal performance or poor performance, extraordinary performance does not exist.


    Strong is strong, weak is weak.


    ...


    After finishing announcing scores, it was time to distribute test papers and discuss the questions.


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    "I already spend less time on academic subjects; I must pay attention in class," Li Yuan thought clearly, "To get into one of the top five prestigious schools, I need to strive for every single point. If I can score a few more on the academics, the hope will be greater."


    One point difference could determine the fate of thousands, it was no mere saying.


    Like Li Yuan this time.


    The ten points added to his cultural subjects, which allowed his martial arts total score to exceed 900, played a critical role.


    ...


    Before you knew it, it was ten o''clock, and there was a fifteen-minute break between classes.


    Teacher Chen first posted three score sheets next to the blackboard on the ''score column,'' then turned around and said, "Li Yuan, Li Tianyou, Wang Zihan, the three of you come with me to the office."


    "The rest of you, class dismissed."


    Immediately.


    The students in the class swarmed to the score column like a tide, starting to check their own rankings.


    Teacher Chen had only announced the scores just now, without revealing the complete rankings.


    The scores posted would indicate one''s ranking in the grade, district, and city.


    "Locked in! Top ten thousand in the city."


    "Damn, one point off and more than a hundred ranks difference in the city? That many contenders?"


    "Sigh, going to get a lecture from my parents again."


    "Didn''t perform well this time, only ranked thirteenth in the grade; didn''t even break into the top ten."


    The students discussed among themselves, some jubilant and some in sorrow, but most of them were unsatisfied, calculating things like ''if I could gain five more points in this subject, ten more in another, my ranking would definitely...''


    Li Yuan and Li Tianyou had followed Teacher Chen to her office by now.


    Li Yuan was calm and collected, while the other two were on edge.


    "You two wait outside," Teacher Chen instructed, "Li Yuan, come in with me."


    Entering the office, Teacher Chen sat down to organize the papers, greeting the nearby teachers as if she had forgotten Li Yuan''s presence for a moment.


    This was a common tactic used by experienced teachers to discipline students.


    First they leave the student hanging for a while, occasionally throw a cold glance, continue to ignore them, letting the student become more and more anxious.


    Eventually, without even needing the teacher to speak, students confess their wrongdoing in a burst.


    However.


    Being called separately to the office after a major exam mostly happens for two reasons¡ªeither marked improvement or significant regression.


    Li Yuan believed he represented the former.


    "Cough~ Cough~" Li Yuan coughed, reaching for the water cup, "Teacher, the water''s cold, let me add some hot water for you."


    Without waiting for Teacher Chen''s response, Li Yuan had already picked up the cup and went to the water dispenser.


    Li Yuan first poured out the cold water, then refilled it with both cold and hot water, gauging the appropriate temperature by feel.


    After adjusting the water, he twisted the cup lid loosely.


    Then, taking a paper towel, he wiped off the water droplets from the outside of the cup and returned to the desk, placing the cup gently on Teacher Chen''s left side.


    People typically hold the cup with their left hand and twist the cap with their right.


    "The water temperature''s just right," Li Yuan smiled, "Why not have a drink first?"


    "You!" Teacher Chen watched the whole process, shaking her head with a chuckle, but it was clear she was in a good mood.


    Teachers, in fact, all like students who are good at handling things and have a sweet mouth.


    "I called you here because there''s something I need to discuss," Teacher Chen said as he picked up a water cup, sipping on it while speaking. "You did well in the recent exam, ranking sixth in the grade, especially with your Martial Arts Skills score. In previous years, this score alone could have competed for the city''s top score in the individual subject."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    "Unfortunately, this year a prodigy emerged from the Teacher''s College High School," said Teacher Chen with a hint of regret. "That student achieved a perfect score in Martial Arts Skills."


    "A perfect score in skills?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    The Physical Quality score is 500 points, with a full score requirement being a Level 10.0 physical quality.


    For Martial Arts Skills, worth 400 points, Li Yuan was not sure about the requirements, but he guessed they would involve Fourth Level skills.


    "What''s the name?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Wu Dongdong," Teacher Chen said. "He also ranked first in the overall Martial Arts score of the city during this January''s assessment, with a Martial Arts score of 900 points and an overall score of 1,077 points."


    "Full scores in two categories? That''s really impressive!" Li Yuan exclaimed sincerely.


    Such a score was incredibly exaggerated.


    Far more so than Lin Lanyue''s scores.


    A Martial Arts score of 900 points suggests that the person has at least a 10.0 physical level and that their academic performance is also good.


    The Teacher''s College High School has always been the best high school in Jiang City, known nationwide. It''s not surprising that they would produce such a Martial Arts prodigy.


    Actually.


    Li Yuan wasn''t at all surprised that someone could far surpass him. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After all, the highest pre-signing with the Martial Hall is an S-level contract, which indicates that there have definitely been people who''ve signed it before.


    Even after awakening his Martial Spirit, Li Yuan only qualified for an A-level contract.


    This world never lacks geniuses, which is something Li Yuan has understood since he was young.


    "Forget about others."


    "You, in fact, have already done quite well," Teacher Chen said. "After the January assessment, in early March, Jiangbei Martial Arts University has an ''observation invitation event''. Our school has ten slots. The top ten students from the January assessment in terms of Martial Arts overall score can go."


    "Are you willing to go?" Teacher Chen looked at Li Yuan.


    "An invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University?" Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment.


    "Yes, they invite the elite Martial Artist Students from the whole city and even the province, nearly a thousand in total, for a five-day period," Teacher Chen explained with a smile.


    "If a professor from the university takes interest in you and thinks you''re suitable for cultivation, after the college entrance examination is over, they''ll immediately invite you to the Martial Arts University, and you''ll start special training over the summer."


    "Martial Arts Cultivation is different from academic courses. At your age, three months is crucial. Utilized properly, it''s enough to significantly improve your Martial Arts strength."


    "Hmm," Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, starting from the age of sixteen and accompanied by physical development and vigorous vitality, Martial Arts Cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.


    "Teacher, my college entrance examination goal is ''Kunlun Martial Arts University''," Li Yuan stated.


    The five renowned Martial Arts colleges in Xia Country are named after Xiaking, South Sea, Kunlun, East Sea, and Polestar.


    Kunlun Martial Arts University has the most enrollment allocations in Jiangbei Province every year and is the first choice for Martial Arts elites in Jiangbei Province.


    "I know."


    "If you can get into Kunlun Martial Arts University, it would certainly be the best choice for you. You have the potential to do it. But without an awakened Spiritual Nature, are you one hundred percent sure?" Teacher Chen questioned Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    "Your goal is to aim for Kunlun Martial Arts University, but Jiangbei Martial Arts University is your safety net. Going to visit and get a feel for it, and meeting the university''s professors is not a bad thing for you," Teacher Chen put down his water cup. "Right?"


    Li Yuan nodded, finding reason in Teacher Chen''s words.


    "Okay, then. I''ll send you the application form and the detailed itinerary on V-chat. Fill it out and send me an electronic signature when you''re done," Teacher Chen said. "By the way, after this afternoon''s school-wide mobilization meeting, the scholarship for ranking in the top ten of your grade will be deposited into your account. Don''t forget to check it."


    "Yes, thank you, Teacher," Li Yuan nodded.


    For a large-scale exam like this, being in the top ten for total Martial Arts Scores in the grade comes with a reward of five thousand Blue Star Coins and several bottles of blood-qi potions as scholarship bonuses.


    Moreover, one would also obtain a private Martial Arts Room, but Li Yuan already had one.


    ¡­


    Among the three, the last one to enter the office was L¨« Tianyou, who was much more nervous than Li Yuan.


    "Teacher," L¨« Tianyou approached the desk.


    "Don''t worry, I called you here not to criticize you but to tell you that you did well on the exam," Teacher Chen said with a smile. "Do you remember what I told you last time, about applying for the Third Class scholarship?"


    L¨« Tianyou''s eyes lit up.


    "With your scores from this exam, combined with your family''s financial situation... you''ve been successful in your application," Teacher Chen said with a smile. "I know you work very hard, but make sure to balance work and rest. Don''t push yourself too much. The twenty thousand coin scholarship will be transferred to your account today."


    "Thank you, Teacher," Tianyou said, quite moved, his eyes reddening slightly.


    "Alright, off you go. Keep this matter to yourself; you don''t need to tell anyone else," Teacher Chen stood up, patted L¨« Tianyou''s shoulder, and saw him out.


    Teacher Chen sat back down in his chair.


    His smile faded as he turned on his smart bracelet and stared absent-mindedly at the document labeled¡ª"Third Class Scholarship Application Review Comments: Rejected."


    "Sigh."


    Teacher Chen let out a soft sigh.


    After a moment of thought, he forwarded the document to Xu Bo.


    This scholarship application was something she and Xu Bo had worked on together for L¨« Tianyou.


    ¡­


    After lunch, Li Yuan returned to the 4011 Martial Arts Room and entered the virtual network pod directly.


    Connection established.


    "Personal space." Li Yuan stood in his vast personal space, checking the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University:


    Dear Li Yuan...


    "It''s all nonsense," Li Yuan frowned, quickly skimming the first few pages.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped sharply, fixed on the itinerary details.


    Day Four itinerary: Combat Assessment: Hunt Star Realm Creatures.


    ¡­


    After pondering for a while.


    Li Yuan quickly filled in his information.


    Electronic signature.


    Click, Accept Invitation!


    "I hope it doesn''t disappoint me," Li Yuan murmured to himself, disengaging his consciousness from the virtual network.

 Chapter 52: 50: Recognition on the Podium

    He exited the virtual reality pod.


    Li Yuan began today''s Martial Path training, starting with the Basic Cultivation Method and then practicing his Spear Technique.


    This had become Li Yuan''s routine.


    It wasn''t until three-thirty in the afternoon, after taking a hot shower in the rest room, that Li Yuan left the Martial Arts Room.


    As Mr. Chen mentioned this morning.


    At four o''clock in the afternoon, there would be a school assembly for all teachers and students. Everyone was required to gather at the sports field on time, with no exceptions for tardiness.


    Just as he closed the door of the Martial Arts Room.


    "Li Yuan?" A rather happy voice came from not too far away: "You''re still in the Martial Arts Room? Hurry up, I thought I was the only one left."


    "Gu Qiang, you haven''t left yet?" Li Yuan said with a smile, spotting the handsome young man at the end of the hallway.


    Whether it''s mealtime, bathroom breaks, heading to the sports field, or after school, students always liked to pair up.


    Boys were no exception.


    Approaching the end of the term, Li Yuan and G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n had run into each other quite often.


    They had become quite familiar with each other.


    Through frequent interactions.


    Li Yuan had long noticed that despite G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n''s seemingly impulsive nature, he was actually quite straightforward with no ill intentions¡ªhis face always gave away his thoughts. He made for a pretty good choice as a friend.


    "It''s Gu Qiang! Gu Qiang!" G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n hopped, protesting: "That''s what my sister calls me."


    "If your sister can call you that, why can''t I?" Li Yuan walked closer with a smile: "Come on, let''s go downstairs."


    "Of course my sister can call me that." Gu Qiang led the way down the stairs, glancing back at Li Yuan: "You''re not my brother-in-law, why should you call me little Qiang?"


    "So what if I call you that?" Li Yuan chuckled: "You can''t beat me anyway."


    "This exam, in terms of bare Martial Path scores, I seem to remember you weren''t as high as me."


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n suddenly felt stuck.


    Indeed!


    He had seen the score report and knew about Li Yuan''s terrifying score in the January assessment¡ªsecond in the grade... and far exceeding the third place.


    From a practical standpoint, whoever has a higher bare Martial Path score often has a greater advantage and a higher probability of winning in actual combat.


    "Tch!"


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n suddenly raised his middle finger: "So what if your bare score is higher than mine? I have extra points for Spiritual Nature, and my overall score is second in the grade while you''re only..."


    Seeing that Li Yuan didn''t respond.


    "Forget it." G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n suddenly realized it was inappropriate to continue and waved his hand magnanimously: "I forgive you for tricking me during the exam. From now on, remember to call me Gu Qiang, ''little Qiang'' is not for you to use."


    "Got it, Gu Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n," Li Yuan purposely elongated the sound.


    "Oh my, you won''t have any friends if you keep this up," G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n glared.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n, exchanging ''friendly greetings'' all the way, walked into the sports field together.


    At that moment, there were only two minutes left until four o''clock.


    The majority of the classes from the whole school had already assembled in an orderly fashion.


    The lineups for class three-year-one and class three-year-two were right next to each other.


    "Lanyue," the slightly plump girl Peng Qiqi nudged the hand of the girl next to her, Lin Lanyue: "Look, why is your brother so close with Li Yuan? They''re coming over so late together."


    "Could it be that Li Yuan is trying to take a shortcut?" Peng Qiqi winked: "First he gets on good terms with your brother, then chases after you."


    "Qiqi, have you been reading too many romance novels?" Lin Lanyue extended her hand, pinching her best friend''s neck, causing Peng Qiqi to giggle.


    Many boys around couldn''t help but glance over.


    In the Martial Arts class, there were quite a few who had a crush on Lin Lanyue.


    However, no one dared to confess.


    "Hehe." Peng Qiqi tried to block Lin Lanyue''s hand while muttering softly: "Then you tell me, why is he so close with Gu Qiang?"


    "Don''t you know what kind of person Gu Qiang is?" Lin Lanyue shook her head gently: "If you could pin him down and beat him up repeatedly, he''d also be willing to be friends with you."


    "Gu Qiang and Li Yuan had a sparring match?" Peng Qiqi asked in surprise.


    "Yeah, they both have individual Martial Arts Rooms next to each other," Lin Lanyue nodded: "They''ve fought several times in virtual battles, and Gu Qiang lost every time."


    Peng Qiqi mused: "Right, Li Yuan''s bare Martial Path score this time was second, exceeding 900 points, not much lower than yours."


    "He''s 28 points lower," Lin Lanyue emphasized.


    She was actually very concerned about Li Yuan''s score.


    In the morning, the homeroom teacher from her culture class informed her of the scores and rankings right away, and also told her about Li Yuan being the first in ''skill score'' in the Guan Mountain District and second in the entire city.


    At that time, Lin Lanyue was shocked by Li Yuan''s incredible rate of progress.


    However, she naturally didn''t want to admit it in front of her best friend.


    "You remember his score quite well, huh."


    Peng Qiqi giggled: "By the way, you said before that only someone on the podium would be worthy of your affection. I think next time, Li Yuan''s bare score might surpass yours." Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lin Lanyue blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering: "Let''s wait until he surpasses me, then we''ll talk."


    "Even if his bare score surpasses mine, his total score is still lower. The ones who get on the podium are the ones with the highest total score, not the highest bare score," Lin Lanyue said indifferently.


    In her subconscious, she felt that Li Yuan had a chance of surpassing her bare score.


    "You''re just a sore loser," Peng Qiqi laughed, suddenly sticking out her tongue: "Here comes Mr. Xia."


    Mr. Xia was the homeroom teacher for class three-year-one.


    ¡­


    "Today, we are honored with the presence of the following leaders at our school. They are the Director of the Guan Mountain District Martial Arts Bureau ''Director Zhang'', representatives from the Guan Mountain District Education Bureau...


    the Deputy Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall''s Guan Mountain branch, Hall Master Song of the Starry Sky Martial Hall''s Guan Mountain branch..." the host teacher introduced the guests seated at the podium.


    There were more than a dozen in total.


    "The Hall Master Zuo is here?" Standing among the ranks, Li Yuan looked up at the woman on stage with her brown curly hair and face full of valor, slightly surprised.


    Logically, how could so many leaders be present at an internal school assembly for teachers and students?


    The representatives from both major Martial Halls had arrived.


    "Brother Yuan, haven''t you noticed? There seem to be quite a few reporters here today," Yan Zhou whispered, pointing to the long spears and short cannons on either side of the podium.


    "Oh," Li Yuan nodded. He had arrived at the playground rather late and hadn''t noticed until now.


    "Respected leaders and teachers..." Principal Tan Zhenlong had started his spirited speech.


    As Principal Tan read from the papers, his eyes swept over the thousands of students below, as if seeing a scene brimming with vitality and flourishing life.


    Time passed.


    As one leader after another spoke, the students below had started to yawn.


    Finally.


    The most important part of today''s agenda began¡ªthe commendation ceremony.


    "In this citywide January examination, our senior year students fought valiantly, achieving outstanding results again... Wan Qingling and ten other students ranked in the top ten for total academic scores."


    "Lin Lanyue, Gu Qianghan... Li Yuan... and ten other students ranked in the top ten for total Martial Path scores. Please join me, all teachers and students, in congratulating them and hope everyone will learn from them," the presenting teacher said with passion.


    Scattered applause broke out from below.


    Most of the students had lost all interest and just wished to leave the assembly and return to their classrooms swiftly.


    This was especially true for the first and second-year students, who mostly felt like they were merely cheap ''NPC audiences,'' sending their friendly regards to the leaders in private.


    Down below.


    "Lanyue, it''s about time for you to go on stage," Peng Qiqi whispered softly, "Good luck."


    The first in both academic and Martial Path scores, as per tradition, are to go on stage for special recognition and a photo with the school leaders.


    Lin Lanyue was quite indifferent.


    Events like this she had experienced many times over her high school years and was very familiar with the process.


    However.


    The teacher hosting on stage did not introduce the two top-ranked students of the year as Lin Lanyue and most senior students had expected; instead, he handed the microphone back to Principal Tan Zhenlong who had stepped forward.


    "Today''s assembly,"


    Principal Tan Zhenlong said solemnly: "Apart from summarizing the January exams for the senior year and commending excellent students, there is also a very special commendation."


    A special commendation? These words immediately piqued the interest of many students.


    "All students should be aware."


    "Just a week ago, our Guan Mountain District had just suffered a serious attack by Star Realm Creatures..." Principal Tan''s voice was low and somber.


    At this moment, the somewhat stale atmosphere was revitalized, and many students couldn''t help but look up at Principal Tan, all curious.


    A special commendation connected to a Star Realm Creatures attack?


    Even Lin Lanyue and Gu Qianghan were quite curious.


    "...However, when an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature charged towards the crowd,"


    "At such a critical moment, at such a crucial time, a seventeen-year-old high school student who happened to pass by, disregarding his own safety, picked up the crude weapon nearby and stood bravely between the Star Realm Creature and the innocent crowd..." Principal Tan recounted the ''fierce battle'' that took place not so long ago with deep emotion and vivid detail.


    The thousands of students below were also quite engrossed in listening.


    It was much more interesting than the previous leaders'' speeches.


    "Wow! Fighting with an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature? Who is it?" Peng Qiqi was surprised and whispered, "Lanyue, was it you?"


    In reality, not only Peng Qiqi but also many students from the Elite Class and other classes in the senior year looked towards Lin Lanyue.


    All the students realized.


    If Principal Tan was delivering this speech in such a manner, the student who battled the Star Realm Creature must certainly belong to their school.


    In their eyes, perhaps only Lin Lanyue had a chance of barely contending with an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature.


    Besides Lin Lanyue, who else could it be?


    "It wasn''t me," Lin Lanyue shook her head, a trace of curiosity flashing in her eyes, "Who then?"


    Indeed, she had fought against Star Realm Creatures before, but it had always been on controlled grounds against Unranked Star Realm Creatures.


    Initiating a battle with an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature?


    Lin Lanyue admitted to herself that she did not yet possess that courage or strength.


    "In the end, after a strenuous and arduous battle." Principal Tan continued to speak: "This seventeen-year-old student managed to kill the Star Realm Creature, saving the lives of many innocent people."


    "To commend this student for his bravery and outstanding contribution during the Star Realm Creature attack,"


    "Jiang City''s Martial Arts Hall, the Education Bureau, Starfire Martial Hall of Jiang City, Starry Sky Martial Hall of Jiang City... have jointly decided to award him the ''Young Hero'' role model title," declared Principal Tan, his passion burning and eyes shining bright: "Now."


    "Let''s invite Li Yuan, a student from the senior year, class 3-2, to come up on stage,"


    "and receive the honor of the role model title!"


    "Wow!"


    "Applause~" Instantly, the entire playground erupted with a wave-like surge of clapping.


    First and second-year students stretched their necks, full of anticipation, looking towards the direction of the podium.


    Eager to see which senior was so impressive.


    Several classes close to the senior year, class 3-2, were already staring wide-eyed at the young figure slowly stepping out from the class lineup.


    Dressed in white Martial Arts attire, the boy with a well-proportioned body and noble bearing.


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man walked calmly to the podium with a slight smile on his face, composed and collected.


    ..."Lanyue."


    "Li... Li Yuan, he''s actually gone up to the podium," Peng Qiqi stared wide-eyed at the white-clad figure, somewhat mesmerized, then suddenly whispered, "Do you really think Li Yuan isn''t good? If you don''t want him, don''t fight with me for him, okay?"


    "We''ll talk about that later," Lin Lanyue''s gaze was fixed on the podium, unflinching.

 Chapter 53: 51: Generous Rewards

    On the stage, a group of leaders took turns stepping forward to take photos with Li Yuan, shake hands, and offer a few words of encouragement in hushed tones.


    Most of it was just formalities.


    "Li Yuan, you did well on the test, and killing that Star Realm creature really made our Martial Hall proud." When it was the turn of the Left Hall Master, her face beamed like a flower as she looked at Li Yuan with eyes full of affection.


    As if she were looking at her own nephew.


    In interpersonal relationships, first impressions are extremely important.


    The Left Hall Master had an excellent first impression of Li Yuan.


    Moreover, after reviewing Li Yuan''s many records upon returning last time, she was convinced that his character and temperament were top-notch.


    In her heart, Li Yuan was a junior worthy of careful cultivation.


    "Thank you, Hall Master." Li Yuan also wore a full smile.


    Li Yuan was well aware that his being able to create such a stir and receive the ''Young Hero'' honor was firstly because he killed a Star Realm creature.


    However, it undoubtedly involved the behind-the-scenes operations of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Otherwise, would everyone who made a contribution certainly receive a reward?


    "Li Yuan, this is Song Yi, the Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall," said the Left Hall Master with a beaming introduction, "Technically speaking, she''s your benefactor."


    Song Yi''s expression changed slightly at those words, somewhat unpleasant, yet she couldn''t show it.


    "Greetings, Hall Master Song." Li Yuan pretended to be unaware of anything and replied earnestly.


    Of course, Li Yuan knew who she was.


    He had heard Teacher Xu mention her when he agreed to sign with the Starfire Martial Hall.


    She was Zhong Cheng''s direct superior and most likely the decision-maker for his D-level contract.


    "Yes, the young man is quite good, keep up the hard work," Hall Master Song managed to force a smile.


    When she learned that Li Yuan was the recipient of the ''Young Hero'' title, she didn''t want to attend the event.


    Nevertheless, she had to represent the Starry Sky Martial Hall because Lu Huai requested her presence.


    ...


    Beneath the stage, a group of journalists took photographs.


    Killing an Entry Rank Star Realm creature was actually a minor affair, but it was done by an underage high school student... This was a rare highlight in the Star Realm creature attack incident.


    It held significant propaganda value.


    Meanwhile, on the field, students, whether they were from the senior or freshman year, were mostly whispering to each other.


    Much of it was praise like "so impressive," "awesome," "is this senior named Li Yuan?" and "so handsome."


    If Li Yuan were only good at academics, he might not win the favor of most students; in fact, it could even breed envy.


    But to fight a life-and-death battle with a Star Realm creature?


    You see, in this era, the entire society highly revered Martial Artists who fought with Star Realm creatures, and students were no different.


    In the eyes of most students, Li Yuan''s actions were more than ten times more impressive than those who ranked first in exams.


    The passion for heroism is an aspiration of youth since ancient times.


    "Lanyue, are you still looking at Li Yuan?"


    Peng Qiqi waved her hand in front of Lin Lanyue and couldn''t help but laugh, "You''re gazing so intently, could it be that you''ve really fallen for Li Yuan?"


    "It''s not that I like him." Lin Lanyue''s gaze shifted to her best friend, and she smiled wryly, "I''m just reminded of some things and am feeling somewhat emotional."


    "What things?" Peng Qiqi was puzzled.


    "Li Yuan''s family is not well-off," Lin Lanyue said, "He hasn''t experienced a Spiritual Awakening of the Martial Spirit, and even though his skill talent is extremely high... achieving his current success must have required a lot of effort."


    Peng Qiqi was stunned.


    She had completely forgotten about that aspect.


    "Like you said, he looks handsome standing on the stage," Lin Lanyue continued, "But when he took the initiative to fight the Star Realm creature, he must have only wanted to save people, not thinking about any rewards."


    "Before that, he had probably never fought a Star Realm creature."


    "To willingly confront one," Lin Lanyue seemed to recall something and murmured thoughtfully, "requires a lot of courage."


    "Lanyue, what are you trying to say? Do you like him or not?" Peng Qiqi grew more confused as she listened.


    "It has nothing to do with liking him or not," Lin Lanyue pinched her friend''s round face, smiling, "I just."


    "I admire him a lot."


    ...


    After the school assembly for all students and teachers concluded, the leaders departed, and the students from each class orderly returned to their Martial Arts classrooms.


    To resume classes.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, followed Principal Tan Zhenlong to the principal''s office.


    Upon entering.


    "Teacher Xu? Director Li?" Li Yuan noticed two people already waiting there and greeted them.


    Director Li was the representative from the Education Bureau.


    "Li Yuan, take a seat," Principal Tan greeted Director Li and the others first, then told Li Yuan to sit down.


    Li Yuan obediently sat on an armchair and looked toward the group.


    Being called over especially for this, the matter must be far from simple.


    "Director Li, why don''t you speak," suggested Principal Tan with a smile.


    "Well, all right," Director Li, dressed in a black work uniform with a square face, looked at Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, the Education Bureau and the Martial Path Bureau have communicated about your case."


    "We called you here to inform you of a few matters."


    "First, Principal Tan and Teacher Xu, who specially applied for the Special Scholarship on your behalf, have gotten it approved. By tonight, before six o''clock, you will receive a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins in your account," Director Li smiled. "It is a national reward, and it will not be taxed."


    "Special Scholarship?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised, a wave of excitement rising in his heart.


    500,000 Blue Star Coins!


    Immediately, Li Yuan subconsciously looked over at Teacher Xu Bo beside him.


    Li Yuan remembered, Teacher Xu had said that he had to reach the top five in his grade.


    Xu Bo nodded slightly, gesturing for Li Yuan to remain calm.


    "Second, you''ve earned the title of Young Hero, which is a Martial Path title.


    According to the rules, you qualify for extra points and will receive a 20-point boost for the Martial Arts special portion during the college entrance exam," Director Li continued, "But you cannot stack bonuses; if you awaken your Martial Spirit before the college entrance exam, you will have to choose one or the other."


    "I understand," Li Yuan said, even more delighted.


    In the college entrance exams, there are many bonus items, such as Spiritual Awakening, hero titles, children of heroes and martyrs, and so on, but you cannot stack multiple bonuses.


    And Li Yuan was clear on that.


    Spiritual Awakening? From the Divine Palace panel, it seemed difficult to resonate with the seven High Rank Cultivation Methods, and Li Yuan hardly dared to hope.


    Therefore.


    That 20-point bonus became incredibly important.


    "Third, in this month''s Elemental Moon test, your score in Martial Arts Skills was first in the district and second in the city. Considering your situation, the district has decided to grant you an additional reward of 100,000 Blue Star Coins, to support your Martial Path cultivation," Director Li said with a smile, "Hope you won''t find it too little."


    "It''s a lot," Li Yuan quickly responded, "Thank you, Director."


    "No need to thank me," Director Li replied with a smile, "You should thank the nation. For a true Martial Arts genius, even without a Martial Spirit Awakening, the country offers significant support and cultivation."


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    The more he practiced, the more he felt the advantages of High Rank Cultivation Methods, and if he could only continue practicing Basic Cultivation Methods, becoming a level 19 Martial Artist would be exceedingly difficult.


    It required the consumption of vast resources.


    Hence, the country wasn''t easy with its support; it always chose the best among the best.


    ...


    After sending off Director Li, Principal Tan and Teacher Xu returned to the office.


    "Li Yuan, are you satisfied now?" Xu Bo asked with a smile.


    "I was already quite satisfied before, but now I owe Teacher Xu and the Principal even more thanks," Li Yuan said gratefully.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan couldn''t help but turn to Tan Zhenlong. "Principal, didn''t you say last time that I had to reach the top five in the Martial Path total score of my grade to have a chance to apply for the Special Scholarship?"


    "Top five? Did I say that?" Principal Tan was stunned. "When did I set the bar so high? Didn''t I say it was the top ten that could strive for it?" S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Now, it was Li Yuan''s turn to be stunned.


    The Principal only required the top ten?


    "Li Yuan, the Principal''s memory isn''t what it used to be; it''s normal that he can''t remember after so long," Xu Bo said repeatedly.


    After that, he grabbed Li Yuan''s shoulder as if a large pincer had clamped down on him.


    "It''s late; the Principal needs to rest, so let''s not disturb him anymore."


    Whoosh!


    Xu Bo, with Li Yuan, flashed out several dozen meters in an instant without even closing the door.


    "Top ten?"


    "Top five? This Xu Bo," Tan Zhenlong had come to his senses, shaking his head with a chuckle, "Set a high standard to achieve a middle outcome? But even then, it must be moderate."


    "Isn''t he afraid that setting the standard too high will make Li Yuan give up?" the Principal mused with a hint of emotion. "Nevertheless, Li Yuan really is excellent."


    "With the ability to add 20 points during the college entrance exam."


    "Looks like, even without a Martial Spirit Awakening, Li Yuan should be able to get into one of the top five prestigious schools," Principal Tan said, smiling.


    Credit for political achievements?


    At his age, he had no hopes of promotion.


    He simply wanted, in his last term, to cultivate more outstanding students.


    ...


    In the office building, within Xu Bo''s Martial Arts Room.


    "There''s going to be another reward from Starfire Martial Hall?" Li Yuan looked at Teacher Xu with a hint of surprise.


    "Yes."


    Xu Bo, robust as Tie Ta, smiled. "With such an excellent performance this time, it''s only natural that Starfire Martial Hall will give you some extra rewards... Signing a contract with the Martial Hall, the rewards stipulated there are set by the highest echelon of the Martial Hall, and no one can change that."


    "If you perform mediocrely after signing, you just go through your contract normally."


    "However, if you exceed expectations during that process, even if your contract level can''t be elevated, the subordinate Martial Hall you belong to will also give additional rewards," Xu Bo explained to Li Yuan.


    "If the performance is outstanding enough, the Martial Hall might even upgrade the contract level," Xu Bo continued.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, knowing only about upgrading contracts, but was not very clear on the rest.


    Li Yuan tactfully didn''t ask further about the top five or top ten matters.


    He immediately understood that Teacher Xu wasn''t trying to deceive him, but merely wanted to better motivate him.


    "Oh, by the way."


    "About the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University, have you seen it?" Xu Bo inquired.


    "Teacher Chen mentioned it, and I agreed," Li Yuan said.


    "You should definitely go," Xu Bo smiled, "Teacher Chen isn''t the head of the Martial Arts class and might not be aware, but I can tell you that this invitation isn''t just organized by Jiangbei Martial Arts University alone."


    "Oh?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "While it''s at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, representatives from all five prestigious schools will be there to observe," Xu Bo said with a smile.

 Chapter 54: 52: Grateful for the Past Efforts of Myself

    "People from the five prestigious schools are observing?" Li Yuan was somewhat curious, "Is Jiangbei Martial Arts University willing?"


    "Haha, naturally they''re not too keen on the idea, but they can''t stop it," Xu Bo revealed a smile, "After all, those five schools are much more powerful than it."


    "Moreover, even if they could stop it, what would it matter?"


    "Do you think the top five hundred Martial Artist Students from the provincial exams would actively choose to enroll at Jiangbei Martial Arts University?" Xu Bo asked.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    That''s right!


    To become a student in the Martial Arts class at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, the resources and cultivation efforts received could be comparable to those of ordinary students at the top five prestigious schools.


    But of the millions of students taking the exam province-wide, how many would believe they would be the bottom at one of those top five schools?


    Like Li Yuan himself, he also believed that despite not having a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method in the short term, as long as he could get into one of the top schools, he could rise step by step.


    "Teacher, what primarily do the top five schools observe?" Li Yuan asked curiously, "Normally, isn''t it based on the score?"


    "Not the same!"


    "Have you seen the specific itinerary?" Xu Bo asked, "Inside, there''s a Combat Assessment."


    "I''ve seen it," Li Yuan said.


    "There are specialized skill exchanges, Combat Assessments, and other special tests," Xu Bo said, "Do you understand the purpose of the country and even the entire Seven Star Alliance in training Martial Artists?"


    "To kill the enemy, to protect the nation," Li Yuan instinctively said.


    "Right," Xu Bo nodded firmly, "The purpose of training Martial Artists is practical combat, to nurture powerful warriors who can fight for human civilization."


    "Thus, many things cannot be discerned by scores alone, they must be teased out through various events and actions."


    "Take the simplest example."


    "Some people have high talent and strong physical quality, but their mentality is flawed. They falter in life-and-death struggles, unable to display even a tenth of their strength during critical moments. Could they be a focus for key cultivation?" Xu Bo said with a smile.


    "High scores but low ability?" Li Yuan immediately understood.


    "Then there are some who seem to have extreme talent, but are very selfish, considering only themselves in everything," Xu Bo said somberly, as if recalling something, "If cultivated, they could potentially threaten human civilization for their own gain."


    "For their own benefit, to the threat of human civilization?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    "Don''t be shocked," Xu Bo shook his head, "Looking back in history, were such things rare? Everyone has their own selfish desires, but there''s a limit which must not be exceeded."


    "Those who are extremely selfish, if detected by those above, will be approached with great caution regarding their cultivation."


    Li Yuan nodded gently; he very much agreed with this point of view.


    "As for these tests and observations, I''m not worried about you," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, "I consider myself quite accurate in judging people."


    Over time, Xu Bo''s recognition and fondness for Li Yuan only grew stronger.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan couldn''t help but touch his head, a bit embarrassed.


    "According to the information I''ve received, just from Jiang City alone, more than three hundred people will attend. For the entire province, I estimate it will be over a thousand people," Xu Bo continued.


    "That many?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    It was much larger in scale than what Teacher Chen had mentioned.


    Organizing an event for over a thousand people, selecting individuals from all over the province, involves a tremendous amount of manpower and resources.


    The attention given by those above to this invitation event became apparent.


    "The tentative time is in March, which is before your April adjustment exam," Xu Bo said, "You have three months, enough time to further enhance your strength."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    "What you need to do is focus on cultivating and strive to perform well during the event, aiming to secure an invitation to the special training offered by the top five schools," Xu Bo said earnestly.


    "Special training invitation?" Li Yuan recalled what Teacher Chen had mentioned.


    "Martial Artist Students are different from academic students." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Academic students go to university in September and are then slowly cultivated," Xu Bo said, "But for Martial Artist Students, from the moment they fill out their preferences, as soon as the universities send out their acceptance notices around late June, the state will start distributing various resources to aid in cultivation."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    This was common knowledge.


    Why does Xia Country only recruit a little over two hundred thousand Martial Artist Students each year? Doesn''t the nation want to train more?


    The reality is that the resource subsidies for each Martial Arts University student are an exorbitant figure.


    For academic university students, the state subsidizes tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins per year.


    But for Martial Arts University students, it starts at ten times that amount.


    Not just in Xia Country, but across all Seven Great Planets, a vast majority of resources from human civilization are poured into the Martial Arts Universities.


    "Students at the top five schools start their schooling in early July," Xu Bo said, "But normal initiation into cultivation and special training are different."


    "The special training is for those recognized as elites and will receive many resources exclusive to the university," Xu Bo said, "If you can be selected for special training from the beginning, your chances of becoming a Second Rank Prime Warrior will greatly increase."


    Li Yuan held his breath and listened.


    Many things are subject to information asymmetry.


    This knowledge wouldn''t be a secret for families of Martial Artists who graduated from the top five schools.


    Li Yuan? He certainly wasn''t clear on this.


    After all, his uncle, Li Changzhou, had only been an ordinary student at Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    "In the invitation event, those who perform excellently will be invited?" Li Yuan pondered.


    "Correct."


    Xu Bo said earnestly, "In a sense, this is also your biggest opportunity."


    "Biggest opportunity?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "The normal list for special training still considers scores," Xu Bo explained, "For example, the top fifty in the provincial exams are a must for the special training list without exceptions; this is mandated by the national policy to prevent any personal manipulation."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, agreeing that using scores as a criterion is the right approach.


    Not letting the decision be solely at the discretion of the schools.


    Only a well-established system can ensure long-term stability and peace.


    "If you don''t awaken your Martial Spirit, even with a bonus of 20 points, are you confident about breaking into the top fifty in the province?" Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head: "No confidence."


    Indeed, no confidence.


    According to the experience of previous years, the overall scores of the top fifty in the province usually exceed 1,000 points.


    "The number of independent places offered by the prestigious schools isn''t that many," Xu Bo said. "Therefore, you must cherish this opportunity and show off your strengths."


    "For example, spiritual power, martial arts skills, actual combat... strive to sign a special training contract in advance."


    "Your newly acquired ''Young Hero'' title is also a boost, it will add quite a bit of luster to your profile," Xu Bo said with a smile.


    This morning, when Xu Bo learned that Li Yuan had received this honor, he was very surprised and delighted.


    "It was also a fluke," Li Yuan said, touching his head again.


    "A fluke? But you still need strength," Xu Bo shook his head. "When the opportunity comes, only those who are well prepared can seize it."


    "If it were other students, would they be able to seize it?"


    "Surviving without being killed by Star Realm Creatures is already quite good," Xu Bo remarked with emotion.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    "After the invitation event ends, sign up with whichever school is willing to give you a special training spot. Don''t just fixate on Kunlun Martial Arts University," Xu Bo said.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    He had long heard that many students who performed exceptionally well in the January and April assessments were fought over by the top five prestigious schools to sign a targeted contract for college entrance preferences.


    "Thank you for the guidance, Teacher," Li Yuan expressed his gratitude.


    If Xu Bo hadn''t mentioned it, Li Yuan might not have paid much attention to this event, and he could have missed the opportunity.


    "No need to thank me."


    "Only those who break into the top ten of their grade are eligible for this event," Xu Bo said with a smile. "The opportunity was fought for by yourself."


    "If you''re going to thank anyone, thank the hard-working you of the past."


    "I, am merely fulfilling the responsibilities of a teacher."


    "Alright."


    "It''s past five, go eat first to avoid having to queue up later," Xu Bo waved his hand.


    ...


    At night, in the Wan Hua Platinum Mansion where his family lives.


    "Mom, mom, look quick! Brother is on TV!!" Li Qianqian tugged at Chen Hui''s hand, eagerly pointing to the distant projection screen.


    "I''m watching, I''m watching," Chen Hui said.


    "Brother looks so cool," Li Muhua''s eyes widened at the projection, which showed the day''s award ceremony as reported by the Jiang City television station.


    The segment wasn''t long, just over twenty seconds, but it was enough to explain the entire event.


    "Brother, I want to be a young hero too someday; brother, you''re really cool," Li Muhua looked up at Li Yuan with admiration.


    Li Yuan was about to speak.


    Smack~ a slap landed on Li Muhua''s buttocks.


    "You want to be what kind of hero? Do you have the strength your brother has?" Chen Hui scolded with a frown. "Just take care of yourself, understand? If you want to be a hero, talk about it after you become a Martial Artist."


    Smack~


    Another slap landed on Li Muhua''s buttocks.


    "Mom, that''s enough, I got it, take care of myself, immediately distance myself and report to authorities in case of danger, don''t join in on the chaos, don''t go to crowded places, stay away from the riverbank, and the lake..." Li Muhua chuckled as he jumped up, reciting the ''Li family maxims.''


    Li Yuan and Li Qianqian couldn''t help but laugh as well.


    "And you."


    "Xiao Yuan, such a big event, why didn''t you tell me earlier?" Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan with full concern: "If your teacher hadn''t sent me a message, I would have had no idea."


    "Auntie, didn''t I come out alright?" Li Yuan said repeatedly: "I thought there was no need to worry you if I was fine, so I didn''t mention it. I''ll definitely be more careful next time."


    "You''re thinking there will be a next time?"


    "How would I explain it to your uncle if something happened to you?" Chen Hui unleashed her words like a machine gun: "You were lucky this time; the Star Realm Creature you encountered wasn''t strong. Can you guarantee next time that..."


    Li Yuan smiled and comforted his aunt.


    He knew his aunt meant well, worried for his safety.


    ...


    Late at night, the house was quiet, and Li Yuan had entered the virtual network.


    Inside the Starfire Space.


    Li Yuan glanced at the two screens before him, one for his bank account, the other for points:


    Bank balance: 1,885,340 Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 1,714,280


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 700,000


    ...


    "The Martial Hall actually rewarded me with 200,000 Blue Star Coins this time?" Li Yuan looked at his bank account balance.


    He had received three transfers that day.


    He then checked the message from the Left Hall Master.


    "This solves the pressing needs," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The next few months are for vigorous cultivation."


    "Before the invitation event, increase my strength as much as possible."

 Chapter 55: 53 8.8 Magnitude! Third Stage 99%!

    At the school commendation assembly, Li Yuan received the title of "Teenage Hero".


    Not only did he become a sensation throughout the school, completely overshadowing Lin Lanyue in terms of popularity, but many younger students began to see him as their idol.


    His newfound fame even spread online, thanks to various news media reports.


    Of course, it was limited to the range of Jiang City.


    January 8th, a little past ten in the morning.


    It was break time in the senior year (2) class cultural classroom.


    "Brother Yuan, you''ve really become famous this time," Zhou Qi said excitedly as he flipped through, shouting, "Look, your social media account has been dug up, and the number of fans has increased by more than a thousand."


    This prompted many students to curiously look towards Zhou Qi''s light screen.


    "Most of those following are just watching the excitement, mainly from our school. With so many news stories these days, the hype will die down in two days." Li Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Are you taking this seriously?"


    "When I leave the school, even the owner of the noodle shop at the gate probably won''t recognize me," Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    "That''s true," Zhou Qi said with a laugh, scratching his head and shutting off his smart ring watch.


    "Brother Yuan, did you see the reports on the Rob Sea?" Yan Zhou asked from the back row, "I remember you mentioned your uncle went there for work."


    "I saw it," Li Yuan''s smile faded considerably, "The fight was very fierce this time, and it seems it still hasn''t been completely quelled up till now."


    Ten days ago.


    That was two days after Jiang City was attacked by Star Realm Creatures, before the January exams, and the "Rob Sea" in the Second Level Star Realm had erupted into an unprecedentedly fierce battle.


    It has been a headline in Xia Country and even throughout Blue Star ever since.


    Li Yuan had been paying close attention, almost sending messages daily to his uncle, Li Changzhou.


    Li Changzhou would occasionally reply with a message telling him not to worry.


    "I saw in the news yesterday that from September until now, nearly ten thousand people have died in this war," L¨« Tianyou said, shaking his head with a sigh, "The casualties are truly terrible."


    Suddenly, the atmosphere in the classroom became somewhat oppressive.


    In this age of advanced networks.


    As seniors about to face college entrance exams, they would follow various national news stories and reflect on their future choices.


    Moreover, students of this era are well aware that their own fates are closely linked to the fate of the entire nation and human civilization.


    "Don''t worry about it," Li Yuan suddenly said with a smile, "There have been so many wars before, and we always held our ground; it will definitely be the same this time."


    "The class is starting."


    "The class is starting."


    The class bell rang, and many students returned to their seats, ceasing their discussions.


    "Rob Sea." Li Yuan sat at his desk, his gaze drifting out the window, his mind wandering.


    Northern Border Province, almost ten thousand kilometers away from Jiangbei Province.


    All is peaceful in Jiang City, while on the frontlines of the Rob Sea, war rages on...


    ...


    Life for Li Yuan settled back into its usual rhythm, following the same routine every day.


    School, home, the Guan Mountain branch of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Apart from morning academic studies, he meticulously practiced Basic Cultivation Methods and Spear Technique.


    Depending on his physical condition, he continued to purchase and consume basic Qi and blood potions and Origin Power Essence Pills.


    Day after day was a repetitive grind.


    Exceedingly mundane!


    The money in his bank account and the points in his Martial Hall account were rapidly depleting like rushing water.


    Li Yuan''s strength was steadily improving step by step.


    Such is the nature of Martial Arts Cultivation, or rather, the nature of reaching the pinnacle in any field.


    The moment of glory in front of others may require a decade of hard work and sweat in accumulation.


    There are no shortcuts.


    ...


    Before you knew it, it was February 10, 2043.


    This was Xia Country''s most important traditional festival, ''Spring Festival'', celebrated grandly not just throughout the country but across the globe.


    Even as seniors, the school had a ten-day holiday.


    At home in Wanhua Platinum Mansion.


    "Come, let''s toast to the new year," Aunt Chen Hui said as she sat at the head of the table, with a seat next to her empty, but with the light screen projection from the smart ring watch on the table.


    Chen Hui looked towards the projection of the man, "Changzhou, happy New Year."


    "Wife, happy New Year," Li Changzhou said, smiling as he raised his water cup in the video. His face had darkened a lot, "Xiao Yuan, Qianqian, Muhua, happy New Year to all."


    "Uncle, Auntie, happy New Year," Li Yuan also said with a smile as he raised his glass.


    "Dad, Mom, Brother, happy New Year."


    Even though Li Changzhou was thousands of miles away, he still joined his family for the Spring Festival through video projection.


    The family was full of joy and laughter.


    After dinner.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were cleaning up, Li Yuan went to his room. There was still some time before the Spring Festival Gala, and he wanted to seize the moment for more cultivation.


    On the couch, Chen Hui sat there.


    "Changzhou."


    Chen Hui held her smart ring watch, looking at her husband in the light screen projection, slightly worried, "How long before you can come back? Didn''t you say you would come back in January?"


    "It will probably take another two months," Li Changzhou said, "You know, the last two months have been very tense... The teams prepared to replace us are now at the Rob Sea."


    "They are working alongside us day and night."


    "Seems we''ll have to wait for the next batch of people to come for the replacement," Li Changzhou said.


    "All right then," Chen Hui nodded reluctantly, "Take care of your safety."


    "Don''t worry."


    "Since the big battle half a month ago, the military and the Martial Hall Martial Artists have been counter-attacking into the Star Realm. After such a prolonged tug of war, we should be close to victory," Li Changzhou said with a smile, "Last month was indeed dangerous, but we''ve been advancing this month."


    "Where I''m working now is on the edge of the Star Realm, but it''s actually part of a large fortress behind the lines, so it''s not very dangerous."


    "Yeah," Chen Hui nodded.


    If it weren''t for the knowledge that her husband was relatively safer compared to last month, her worries would only be greater.


    "Try not to give them too many details," Li Changzhou whispered. "Especially Little Yuan. The college entrance examination is getting closer."


    "Mhm, I understand," Chen Hui nodded.


    ...


    Regarding Uncle Li Changzhou''s situation, Li Yuan indeed didn''t know much.


    It wasn''t that he didn''t care, but Li Changzhou rarely spoke of the true situation.


    Li Yuan had always mistakenly believed that his uncle''s workplace was some distance away from the Star Realm.


    After the Spring Festival, life for a senior in high school became even more tense.


    In every class, whether it was the culture classroom or the martial arts classroom, ''100-day countdown'' signs were hung up.


    The college entrance examination was increasingly near.


    Yet Li Yuan''s heart became more tranquil.


    He had always been fully dedicated to his cultivation, whether it was physical cultivation or spear technique, or even his academic studies, he never slacked off.


    "The college entrance exam is just one result."


    "Whether the result is good or bad does not depend on whether the test is taken seriously during those three days," Li Yuan thought to himself. "But on whether every day and night of the past three years, six years, or even twelve years has been filled with sufficient effort."


    "With enough accumulation, success will naturally follow."


    "If there''s not enough accumulation and the scores aren''t high enough, anxious? Worry is futile!" Li Yuan''s heart instead became purer.


    ...


    "Brother Yuan, my physical quality has reached 4.8 levels," Zhou Qi said excitedly after yet another class test. "High-rank cultivation methods are really insane."


    "Impressive! But you can''t slack off. You didn''t have high physical quality before, and now that you''ve awakened a high-rank cultivation method, you need to strive to catch up," Li Yuan smiled. "Try to improve more before the college exams."


    "Mhm, my goal is to reach 5.2 levels before the exams, to meet our class average," Zhou Qi stated confidently.


    This is the terrifying aspect of high-rank cultivation methods.


    Absorbing Origin Power from the universe is like eating various supplements every day.


    Zhou Qi''s physical quality, which was initially at the bottom of the class, had improved to nearly middle-rank within just over two months.


    Given another year to Zhou Qi.


    His physical quality level could entirely rise to the top ten of the class.


    ...


    March 8, 2043, inside School 4011''s Martial Arts Room.


    "Li Yuan."


    "After half a year of cultivation, your spear technique, movement technique, and fist technique have all reached the Third Stage perfection, without substantial defects anymore," Xu Bo, who resembled an iron tower, said. "Starting next week, you don''t need to come to me for guidance anymore." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t need to come anymore?" Li Yuan was slightly stunned.


    "I''ve told you everything I need to," Xu Bo looked toward Li Yuan, smiling. "From now on, how to break through from the Third Stage to the Fourth Stage, you''ll have to find the way yourself."


    "I have but one last piece of advice for you."


    "First the body, then the heart; reach mastery through the object. Only by integrating inward and outward, can there be unity," Xu Bo said earnestly.


    First the body, then the heart; reach mastery through the object?


    "I have taken note, thank you, teacher, for your guidance during this time," Li Yuan took note and respectfully performed a deep bow.


    If the relationship between Li Yuan and Xu Bo was just that of a common teacher-student relationship back in October of last year.


    Then, after such a long period of time, with Xu Bo''s repeated earnest guidance and generous sharing.


    Their affection had surpassed the ordinary scope of a school teacher-student relationship, starting to approach that of a master and a closed-door disciple in ancient martial arts.


    The master is both teacher and father.


    Although not quite there yet, similar emotions had arisen.


    "Haha, it''s already very late; you should head home early," Xu Bo said with a laugh as he helped Li Yuan up.


    Having spent a long time together, he had grown increasingly fond of Li Yuan.


    In the few years at Guan Mountain District''s number one high school, he had taught nearly a thousand students.


    But the ones who could reach the level of emotional connection he had with Li Yuan were few and far between.


    ...


    Late at night, at two o''clock in the morning.


    Li Yuan, who endured two hours of inhuman torture, woke up from within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    [Your spiritual power has increased from 14.9 to 15.0 levels] Li Yuan glanced at a reminder from the Divine Palace panel a few minutes ago.


    "Day after day of arduous cultivation, enduring the torment of the blazing Great Sun."


    "My spiritual power has finally broken through to the 15.0 levels," Li Yuan took a deep breath, feeling quite joyful in his heart.


    For a martial artist level, 10 and 15 are thresholds.


    In Li Yuan''s subconscious, spiritual power at 15 levels must also be a threshold.


    "Only a week left before the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University," Li Yuan''s gaze subconsciously swept over his Divine Palace panel.

    "Let''s try again today, to see if I can pass the promotion match for the Fallen Star rank," Li Yuan thought to himself, as he got up and entered the virtual network pod.

 Chapter 56: 54 Fallen Star Promotion Match

    Consciousness connected.


    Upon entering the virtual network, Li Yuan chose to go straight to his personal space in the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    "Master, you have finally descended."


    "Exclusive assistant Xiao Yu, at your service," the girl in white cheerfully said.


    Li Yuan smiled and went straight to the point, "Display individual combat records for the ranking matches."


    Shwoosh~ A holographic screen formed:


    Ranking Matches: Gold Stage.


    Points: 990 (1000 points needed to participate in the promotion matches)


    Win rate in the Stage Matches: 88%


    ¡ª¡ª


    "990 points, I hope I don''t face anyone from the Fallen Star Stage. It would be best to get 10 points in one go," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Otherwise, I''ll have to waste a bit more time."


    Two months ago.


    Li Yuan''s Spear Technique had improved to 99% of the Third Stage. A week ago, his movement technique also smoothly advanced to 99% of the Third Stage.


    Ever since his Spear Technique reached 99% at the Third Stage, Li Yuan had already been among the elite in the Gold Stage rankings on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    He often went ten ranking matches without a single loss, which sent his win rate soaring from just over 50%.


    A week ago, his movement technique reached 99% of the Third Stage.


    On the day of the ranking matches, Li Yuan achieved a horrifying streak of 56 consecutive wins, which pretty much affirmed his status as ''undefeated in the Gold Stage.''


    Then ¡ª Li Yuan was sanctioned by the matchmaking system.


    Three matches in a row!


    In each one, Li Yuan was paired with a master from the Fallen Star Stage.


    Except for one match where he barely managed to fend off more than a dozen moves, the remaining two were straight losses, not even close to the same level.


    "Let''s start," Li Yuan''s hand reached out to click, setting up his weaponry configuration.


    Beep¡ªMatch successful.


    "You are about to enter the ranking match, your opponent is at the Gold Stage (996 points). Please prepare for combat," the system warned: "Entering the combat space in 10, 9..."


    "996 points? Could this also be a master? Is my luck really that bad?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    A flash of light.


    Li Yuan appeared out of thin air in the center of a huge arena, with not a single spectator around.


    On the distant stage, a middle-aged man also appeared, holding a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left.


    "Spear Shield?" Li Yuan gripped his Long Spear tightly.


    There were many Martial Artists who used a weapon combination like the knife-shield or spear-shield.


    The spear, also a Long Weapon, tended to be shorter than a spear used alone, since it was meant to be wielded with one hand, and thus, wasn''t as agile.


    With a shield, survivability greatly increased, as did the margin for error in life-threatening fights.


    However.


    Those with shield weapon combinations invariably had one weakness ¡ª they weren''t agile enough.


    Li Yuan didn''t fancy using a shield.


    With his long spear, he believed he could lay waste to everything in his path.


    "Boy, once I kill you, I can participate in the promotion match," the middle-aged man declared with a laugh: "I''ve already had ten consecutive victories today."


    "Ten consecutive victories?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    "Yes," the middle-aged man nodded, saying with confidence: "You won''t be a match for me. You might as well just surrender now to avoid being killed and taking a mental blow."


    In the Stage Matches, it was permitted to surrender proactively.


    The advantage was that one''s mind wouldn''t take damage, but the downside was that the point deduction would be more severe.


    "Uncle, I know why you matched with me," Li Yuan suddenly cracked a smile.


    "Why?" the middle-aged man asked, puzzled.


    "Because the system sent me to sanction you!" Li Yuan laughed loudly, his figure suddenly moved, shooting out like a swimming dragon.


    Strength, speed, both fully unleashed!


    "This fast? Does he have a Physical Quality of 8.0?" the middle-aged man was instantly shocked, realizing that this seemingly young opponent was not to be trifled with.


    In the virtual network, one could freely alter their face and outfit.


    However, to prevent fraudulent activities, each person''s identity information was bound, and they were not allowed to change their gender, and changes to their appearance could not exceed a five-year age difference.


    Boom! The middle-aged man moved as well, instantly springing into action. Having made it to over nine hundred points in the Gold Stage, his skills were not inferior.


    "Huff!"


    The middle-aged man used his shield to block, changing his steps and angling his body, trying to deflect Li Yuan''s thrusting spear to the side.


    "Bang!"


    The spear made contact with the shield.


    "Blocked it," the middle-aged man had just revealed a brief smile when a look of shock appeared on his face.


    "Rip~"


    The big spear that should have made a powerful impact against the shield seemed to carry little force and stuck to it instead.


    Then, the spear tip retracted, scraping along the shield, and let out a piercing noise.


    The next instant.


    "Boom!" The Long Spear that had retracted half a meter in a flash, lunged forward again like lightning, aiming a Straight Thrust.


    It already bypassed the middle-aged man''s shield.


    Such a lightning-fast spear technique was too quick for the middle-aged man, who felt a sense of dread.


    At that moment between life and death.


    "I''ll stab too!" The middle-aged man''s long spear suddenly left his hand, propelling directly toward his target.


    With this strike.


    If Li Yuan were to thrust straight at the middle-aged man, he would certainly be pierced through the chest and killed, resulting in a likely tie.


    "Clang~"


    Li Yuan, without any hesitation, retracted his spear and stepped back, channeling his vigor throughout his body, unleashing a terrifying force that knocked the flying spear away.


    "Buzz~" As the spear flew off, it heavily struck into the ground outside the arena.


    And on the stage.


    "Bang!" After deflecting the spear, Li Yuan spun his long spear and executed "Steady as Mount Tai," bringing it down fiercely on the middle-aged man.


    "Boom~"


    The middle-aged man defended with his shield, feeling a terrifying force bearing down on him, involuntarily stepping backward.


    "Go!"


    Li Yuan retracted his spear, stepped back to unload the force, then changed his footing and launched a central-level thrust at his opponent, the spear striking like lightning.


    "Clang!" "Bang~" "Boom~" The sounds of consecutive impacts echoed.


    The middle-aged man, holding the shield with one hand, became even more agile, successively blocking Li Yuan''s spear attacks.


    After all, he was also a skilled practitioner with over 900 points in the Gold Stage, whether it was his movement technique or shield technique, both were of Third Stage high-rank level.


    But!


    Strong as he was, Li Yuan was stronger. Whether it was physical control or mental acuity, or even his movement technique and weapon handling, Li Yuan had achieved the Third Stage to perfection.


    "Pfft~"


    On the nineteenth spear thrust, Li Yuan finally seized his chance, blasting the shield aside and piercing directly through the middle-aged man''s throat.


    Blood splattered.


    "I lost?"


    "So brutal, where does this Martial Path genius hail from?" These were the middle-aged man''s last thoughts, his body instantly vanished from the spot.


    "Not bad shield work."


    "But the coordination with the spear isn''t quite there, and the control over the body is lacking," Li Yuan mused silently, instinctively critiquing his opponent: "Unable to unleash the full strength of the body."


    Li Yuan had defeated hundreds of such opponents in the past month or two.


    At this moment.


    Li Yuan received a system notification: "Congratulations, Guardian¡¤Yuan... Points +10."


    "Your stage points have reached 1000, and cannot increase further, would you like to participate in the advancement test?" the system asked again: "Friendly reminder, the cooldown for the advancement test is one week."


    "If you fail, you will lose 50 points."


    "If successful, you will permanently advance to the Fallen Star Stage."


    The rules were always reminded once.


    "Participate in the advancement test," Li Yuan made his choice.


    Buzz~


    His figure instantly disappeared from the arena.


    ¡­


    This was a small sea island, shaded by green trees, with tumultuous waves in the distance.


    "This is the fifth time."


    "I wonder, now that I have perfected Third Stage movement technique, do I have a chance of passing this time?" Dressed in light armor and holding a long spear, Li Yuan appeared on the island, scanning his surroundings.


    This was his fifth visit.


    Swiftly.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Sounds came from the distant jungle, as twelve humanoid creatures quickly emerged.


    They varied in height, the tallest over one meter eighty, the shortest around one meter seventy, all with four arms, their skin a bluish tint, their hands and feet tipped with sharp talon-like claws, and their backs adorned with fin-like tails.


    "Fish Spirit Clan," Li Yuan muttered to himself. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Indeed.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network''s advancement tests were not matchups against other martial artists, but battles against ''Star Realm Creatures'' set by the system.


    For each stage advancement, there were various Star Realm Creatures to choose from.


    Every time Li Yuan came here, he chose the Fish Spirit Clan.


    "Roar~"


    "Howl~" "Waah~" Upon seeing Li Yuan, all twelve Fish Spirit Clan''s eyes turned blood-red, their bodies surged with energy as they swung their blade-like arms and charged toward Li Yuan.


    As if they had encountered their mortal enemies.


    "Every visit, it feels so real, this virtual network setting, they''ve even maxed out these simulated creatures'' sense of hatred," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Amidst these thoughts, Li Yuan met them head-on with a lightning-fast spear, his form shifting as he thrust toward the tallest Fish Spirit Clan member.


    The long spear trailed afterimages.


    Thrusting straight at the adversary''s throat.


    "Clang!" The Fish Spirit Clan member reacted swiftly, slashing at Li Yuan''s spear with its clawed arm, making contact.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang!"


    With variable spear techniques, Li Yuan was incredibly fluid, clashing three times with the creature''s claws and taking advantage of the gap between its four arms to thrust straight into its chest like lightning.


    "Spurt~"


    Blood spurted out as Li Yuan''s spear pierced through the chest of the Fish Spirit Clan member, causing its body to stagger immediately.


    Yet, Li Yuan did not follow through to kill it at once. Instead, he swiftly withdrew his spear, his weapon swinging like a heavy stick, sweeping to the right to block a vicious swipe of a claw.


    There were twelve of them, after all.

 Chapter 57: 55 Breakthrough! Global [996]

    ```


    "Clang!"


    "Clang!" Li Yuan''s long spear kept changing, blocking the three claw strikes in succession.


    Then, with a sudden roll, his figure was incredibly agile, once again avoiding the combined attack of two claws.


    It was extremely dangerous.


    "Pfft~" as he sprang up from the roll, Li Yuan casually thrust back, the spearhead piercing the eye socket of a Fish Spirit Clan member who couldn''t dodge in time.


    As he withdrew as soon as he struck, the spear tip had already churned through the brain.


    Bang~ The creature fell over.


    "Kill Count +1." the system notification sounded.


    Compared with his previous four attempts at the promotion battles, there had been no essential progress in Li Yuan''s spear technique.


    The greatest improvement was his movement technique, which allowed him to face the siege of these Fish Spirit Clan members with more composure.


    "Too clumsy," Li Yuan thought to himself, "In terms of physical quality, these Fish Spirit Clan members should all be at least Eighth Level or even close to Ninth Level, much stronger than me."


    "But their skills are estimated to be at the peak of the Second Stage."


    If it were one on one, Li Yuan could kill a Fish Spirit Clan member at first contact.


    But there were too many of them.


    Even ants can overwhelm an elephant, let alone these Fish Spirit Clan members whose claw swipes carry the force of over a thousand kilograms.


    "Roar~"


    "Howl!!" The Fish Spirit Clan warriors roared, seemingly more furious as they saw their comrades being killed, their bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Yuan, seeking to kill him.


    "Puff!"


    "Pffht!" While evading and blocking, Li Yuan would occasionally burst out with his spear.


    Most of the time, Li Yuan was on the defensive.


    But, whenever he found an opportunity to strike with his spear, the Fish Spirit Clan would be either dead or injured.


    "They may seem numerous, but due to spatial constraints, at most three or four can attack me at a time," Li Yuan kept counterattacking by using their force.


    Time ticked away.


    "Kill Count +1"


    "Kill Count +1" the system kept reminding.


    In less than a minute, six Fish Spirit Clan members lay in a pool of blood, and the pressure on Li Yuan was steadily decreasing.


    Suddenly.


    "Waaah~" One of the Fish Spirit Clan members suddenly let out a strange cry, its four arms waving wildly, its claws like knives, grazing the endpoint of Li Yuan''s long spear.


    "Bang~" The spear shaft was forced to move in a different way, exceeding what Li Yuan had anticipated. His arms went numb from the shock, and his dodging body involuntarily slowed down by half a beat.


    Being half a beat slow in a life-or-death fight means the difference between life and death. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hoof!"


    "Swoosh!" A series of emerald figures leaped toward Li Yuan, giving him no space to break out of the encirclement.


    No fewer than six claw strikes, sharp as blades, were swooping in from all directions simultaneously.


    "Clang!" "Clang!"


    "Thump!"


    Li Yuan wielded the spear, swinging it twice to block two claw strikes, only to feel a terrifying force hitting his back.


    It was as if he had taken a brutal chop! Li Yuan''s entire body went numb, blood churning inside him.


    "Pfft~" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan steadied his stance, desperately mobilized the vigor throughout his body, and surged forward with the flow of the claw attack to avoid the claw that was swooshing in right after.


    However, more claws were coming down, exactly when Li Yuan''s old strength had faded and new strength hadn''t yet formed.


    "This is bad," Li Yuan''s scalp tingled.


    He felt a sense of mortal danger.


    In his previous four attempts at the promotion battles, the first two times he was beaten to death as soon as he arrived.


    The third time he killed three members of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    The fourth time he killed five members of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    He had thought that with his improvement in mobility, he had a chance to break through, but Li Yuan realized he had still underestimated the difficulty of the Fallen Star promotion battle.


    After killing six Fish Spirit Clan members, the remaining six seemed to enter a berserk mode, displaying even more exaggerated speed and strength.


    "Kill!"


    "I need to be faster! Even faster!"


    Li Yuan''s eyes were faintly red as he let go of all restraints, knowing he was unlikely to escape and exerting all his strength to execute his spear technique.


    In that instant, Li Yuan felt as if the blood in his body was boiling.


    It was as if it was the natural burst of instinct in the face of death.


    All the vigor in his body seemed to be activated, with spirit, will, and body simultaneously exploding to their limits, reaching a mysteriously harmonious realm.


    "Huff!"


    At that moment, Li Yuan felt as though he had broken through some kind of limit in his control of his body, breaking free of shackles.


    The transfer of power throughout his body became wonderfully fluid, a sensation Li Yuan had never experienced before.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan''s spear suddenly increased in speed, carrying a much greater force with it.


    In an instant, the spear tip traced a semicircle through the air.


    "Puff!" "Puff!" A sweep of the spear cleared away one claw, and the spear tip directly grazed the throats of two Fish Spirit Clan members, blood splashing.


    "Kill Count +1"


    ```


    "Kill Count +1"


    Two consecutive system notifications flashed by.


    "Boom!" "Bang~" Several other attacks from the Fish Spirit Clan finally arrived, their sharp claws viciously slashing at Li Yuan''s body.


    One claw, in particular, was exceedingly precise, whooshing through the air and ferociously aiming for Li Yuan''s neck.


    With a splurch! Li Yuan felt the world spinning around him.


    Agonizing pain transmitted to his consciousness and he instantly vanished from where he was.


    Fallen Star advancement match, fifth challenge failed.


    Kill count, eight!


    ...


    Inside his personal space on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    "I."


    "What just happened?" Li Yuan stood dumbfounded on the spot, not the least bit disheartened by his failure in the Fallen Star advancement match.


    On the contrary, his eyes were filled with excitement and joy.


    "That last burst with my spear?" Li Yuan reminisced about that spear thrust.


    In the moment between life and death.


    Under that unprecedented oppression, all Li Yuan wanted was to be faster! Even faster!


    There was no deliberate move execution, only a desperate ''bite off a chunk of the opponent even in death'' frenzy.


    In this state of madness, Li Yuan channeled his vigor throughout his body, achieving a truly perfect, complete state.


    Because of this, he was able to turn the tides in his bleakest moment and strike down two members of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    "The transmission of vigor was flawless, without the slightest obstruction," thought Li Yuan.


    His gaze swept across the Divine Palace panel in his field of view, looking at the section regarding his skill realm.


    ¡ª¡ª


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Third Stage 99%), Movement Technique (Third Stage 99%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 0%)


    ¡ª¡ª


    "The realm, it really broke through," he said.


    "Fist Technique, it has stepped into the Fourth Level," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled: "Fist Technique is a fusion of body and mind, a focus on the control of one''s physique, it was bound to be the first skill to break through."


    "Hahaha!"


    Li Yuan finally couldn''t help but burst into hearty laughter, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration: "My Fist Technique has been at Third Stage 99% for three or four months."


    "My Spear Technique reached Third Stage 99% two months ago."


    "In these past few months, I have been training my Spear Technique like a madman," said Li Yuan, with a glint in his eyes: "But I''ve been unable to break through, struggling to get a grip on it."


    "Just last night, my teacher told me to try and figure it out on my own, saying I might break through at any time."


    "I didn''t expect it."


    "So soon, just a single advancement match, and I''ve already broken through?" Li Yuan felt incredibly satisfied.


    Failure in the advancement match, a breakthrough in Martial Arts Skills.


    Li Yuan knew that it wasn''t a breakthrough amidst life and death, since it was all virtual combat, and deep down, he knew there was no real danger of death.


    Being able to break through was more due to the countless previous spear and fist practices, the accumulation of experience, comprehension, and a little bit of¡ªluck.


    From this breakthrough, he stepped into a completely new realm.


    "Master."


    "Congratulations, Master, you''ve broken into the top 1000 of the Blue Star Junior Rankings," the maiden beside him giggled: "Your current ranking is 996."


    "996?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    His eyes had just scanned a system notification.


    "Guardian ¡¤ Yuan, you killed eight Guardians in the advancement match. Your ranking on the Blue Star Junior Rankings has risen from [1132] to [996] globally, [243] in the Xia Country District, and [9] in the Jiangbei region."


    Li Yuan, previously too excited, had focused solely on himself and missed this message.


    "996?"


    Li Yuan murmured to himself: "That uncle I met earlier also had 996 points."


    "Could it be, I have a special connection with 996 today?"


    "But I clearly ended up with 007." After joking about himself, Li Yuan ceased paying attention to the ranking.


    996th place?


    This ranking on the Blue Star Junior Rankings is based on stage points and performance in the advancement matches.


    His previous four attempts at advancement matches each caused his ranking to soar.


    This time, he had successfully entered the global top thousand.


    This was already an astonishing ranking.


    After all, Li Yuan''s gaze passed over a data display regarding the Blue Star Junior Rankings: the listed number for the 2042-2043 period was ''36,874'' individuals.


    In the span of half a year.


    The Blue Star Junior Rankings had skyrocketed from just over four thousand people when Li Yuan first joined the list to over thirty thousand.


    Li Yuan couldn''t see the specific list, but he could see the totals.


    This was to ensure every Martial Path prodigy on the list had a general understanding of their own position, to prevent undue arrogance.


    "If I could have another go at the advancement match, I should be able to pass the Fallen Star stage match," Li Yuan thought to himself: "Too bad there''s no chance left."


    Failure in an advancement match meant a cooldown period of seven days.


    "Xiao Yu, on the Blue Star Junior Rankings, how many have reached the Fallen Star stage now?" Li Yuan casually asked.


    "As of today, there are 164," the girl in blue, Xiao Yu, answered: "The names cannot be disclosed."

 Chapter 58: 56: Senior Brother, I Recommend Someone to You

    ```


    "164th place? That''s six more than last week," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Li Yuan had to admit, his Martial Arts Skills had indeed improved quickly.


    But when looking at the number of martial arts geniuses globally, there were still a lot of them.


    "Xiao Yu, is there any extra reward for reaching the top 1,000 worldwide?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    "Nope," the girl answered. "However, according to Master''s age, as long as you reach the Fallen Star stage before turning 18, you can get a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, but his goal was not the 500,000 Blue Star Coins rewarded by the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    The most important thing was the A-level contract with the Martial Hall.


    "To upgrade from a B-level contract to an A-level, one of the three criteria is to reach 300 points in the Fallen Star stage of the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18," Li Yuan thought to himself, looking forward to it.


    Once the contract was upgraded, the many resources granted by the Martial Hall would soar significantly.


    The total value was at least tens of millions of Blue Star Coins.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan''s thoughts shifted, and he exited the virtual network.


    ...


    It was a little past three in the morning.


    Like in the past, Li Yuan arrived at school early.


    In the Martial Arts Room 4011, the lights were fully turned on, and the recording and skills'' analysis functions were all activated as well.


    "Huh!"


    Li Yuan stood at the center of the Martial Arts Room, beginning to practice the Solid Rock Fist Technique.


    He stood there like an immovable boulder, and as he moved dynamically, his fists and palms alternated.


    "Boom~" Every now and then, the Martial Arts Room would resound with explosive sounds caused by the movement of air.


    Solid Rock Foundation Initiation, Steady as a Pillar, Hidden Dragon in the Gorge, Millstone Push, Stone Bears All Life, Rock Anchors the Universe... These were moves of the Fist Technique that Li Yuan had practiced thousands of times before.


    Performing them today, however, he felt a completely different sensation.


    "Rustle~" Li Yuan''s heart was utterly tranquil.


    In the midst of practicing the Fist Technique, he quietly felt the flow of blood in his body like a rushing river, sensed the powerful beating of his heart, and even more so the layered transfer of muscle strength and the connection of tendons and flesh.


    All his vigor converged into the Great Dragon of his spine... With Li Yuan''s powerful spiritual power, he could deeply sense all of this.


    Every bit of strength in his body was under his control.


    With just a thought, he could perfectly maneuver his body''s power without wasting an iota.


    Everything within his body was under his ''perception'' as if he had an extra pair of eyes inside.


    "Is this what the teacher referred to as ''internal vision''?" Li Yuan marveled silently: "In ancient traditional martial arts, this is precisely the grandmaster realm that countless martial artists sought."


    The times were different.


    In ancient times, without Cultivation Methods, without various cultivating instruments, and certainly without something as miraculous as the virtual network, reaching the grandmaster realm was extremely difficult for martial artists.


    This was the pinnacle of ancient martial arts.


    But in today''s Advanced Martial Era, the grandmaster realm? Though still a milestone in the Martial Arts Realm.


    Among countless Martial Artists, this realm was hardly a secret.


    "In the past."


    "With my powerful spiritual power, I could also vaguely sense the subtleties of my body''s muscles, bones, and tendons."


    Li Yuan carefully felt and familiarized himself with it: "However, it was not as clear as it is now."


    "Internal vision allows me to control every bit of strength in my body and to clearly perceive the state of every corner of my body."


    "This means that when I next practice the Basic Cultivation Method, the efficiency will be even higher," Li Yuan thought with great joy.


    Why does the Martial Arts Cultivation of the entire human civilization place such importance on Martial Arts Skills?


    Because it is indeed important.


    It''s fundamental.


    For example, one of the three requirements to become a Second Rank Prime Warrior is for Martial Arts Skills to reach the Fourth Stage.


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has improved from Fourth Stage 0% to Fourth Stage 1%] Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has improved from Fourth Stage 1% to Fourth Stage 2%]


    One prompt after another flashed on the Divine Palace panel.


    After two more hours, Li Yuan repeatedly practiced the Fist Technique, taking breaks to stand in stakes intermittently.


    He had pushed his Fist Technique Realm up to Fourth Stage 5% before coming to a stop.


    "The force is now perfected."


    "Control is at a level of subtlety," Li Yuan revealed a trace of a smile: "Having just made a breakthrough, I managed to significantly improve my Fist Technique Realm with a bit of consolidation."


    "Progressing beyond this will become increasingly difficult."


    Li Yuan wasn''t in a hurry to practice his Spear Technique, as the premise of Body-Mind-Weapon Integration is the unity of body and mind.


    As long as his Fist Technique Realm is high enough, his Movement Technique will naturally enter the Fourth Stage, and with a bit of practice, his Spear Technique can break through as well.


    ```


    ```


    Like many martial arts grandmasters, they never really practiced with weapons much in their lifetimes, but any weapon that came into their hands would have an effect that would transform the decayed into the miraculous.


    Why?


    Because their unity of body and mind had reached an extremely high level, that is, the perfection of the Fourth Stage.


    Thus, any weapon they picked up, after a brief familiarization, could quickly unleash the standard of Fourth Stage martial arts skills.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan did not know that when he surged into Blue Star''s youth rankings, into the global top 1000.


    The system of the Starry Skies Fighting Network had already automatically sent the relevant documents to Xia Country''s Martial Arts Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, and Starfire Martial Hall.


    The top 1000 were in fact those under key observation, especially those with vast improvements like Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    At eleven o''clock in the morning, at the Starry Sky Martial Hall, Guan Mountain branch.


    "Bang~"


    "Lu Huai! You absolute jerk!!" Dressed in rather dazzling attire, Song Yi slammed the teacup in her hand onto the ground, where tea and shards flew in all directions.


    The scene she had just been called into by Lu Huai lingered in her mind.


    He handed over the documents about Li Yuan.


    Then, he said in a casual tone, "Hall Master Song, regarding the matter of Li Yuan signing a contract ahead of time, I personally feel you were somewhat inconsiderate. If the higher-ups pursue accountability in the future, you should brace yourself mentally."


    It seemed as if there was no scolding.


    But such words were already a severe accusation of her ''negligence''.


    "It''s just the global top 1000, what''s so great about that?" Song Yi gritted her teeth. "It''s not as if his Spear Technique has broken through to the Fourth Stage, deserving such a big fuss. And he specifically had to call me over?"


    But in reality.


    Song Yi was feeling some regret in her heart.


    Although she could not see each specific battle scene of Li Yuan, the documents sent to the Martial Hall had already detailed Li Yuan''s recent combat record and win rate.


    An 88% win rate at the Gold Stage!


    A winning streak of over fifty matches at the highest.


    How exaggerated was that? It was enough to prove that Li Yuan''s martial arts skills had reached the perfection of the Third Stage, only a hair''s breadth from stepping into the Fourth Stage Realm.


    If it were just a seventeen-year-old''s perfection of Third Stage skills, that wouldn''t be too extraordinary.


    The key point is, a year ago, Li Yuan was still at the Silver Stage with Second Stage skills on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    This rate of progress was terrifying.


    Over so many years, Song Yi had not seen such a formidable martial arts prodigy in Guan Mountain District.


    "Hmph."


    "Perfection of the Third Stage? How many martial artists are stuck at this step? And it''s uncertain whether they can break through before the age of eighteen," Song Yi thought to herself. "Besides, even if he breaks through, so what? Without awakening the Martial Spirit to become a Prime Warrior, who knows how many years that would take."


    Her irritation stemmed from feeling embarrassed.


    And because of that, she was annoyed with Li Yuan.


    However, Song Yi never considered harming Li Yuan. While competition existed between different Martial Halls, they were more cooperative than competitive overall, all sharing the same goal¡ªto fight for human civilization.


    ¡­


    At the Starfire Martial Hall, Guan Mountain branch.


    On the twelfth floor.


    "Li Yuan, in the global top 1000 of the Blue Star youth rankings?" Dressed in traditional Chinese attire, Hall Master Wan looked at the document in his hands, slightly surprised. "So soon?"


    After a brief moment of thought.


    Wan Qinghe communicated with Xu Bo to inquire in detail about Li Yuan''s various cultivation aspects.


    He then called coach Xing to inquire about Li Yuan''s recent status at the Martial Hall.


    Having completed all this.


    "This Li Yuan is truly an uncut gem," Wan Qinghe, looking at the compiled information in his hands, was somewhat surprised. "With so little resources, his physical quality has also improved so quickly?"


    "Could it be that he is actually the kind of individual with top-tier physical talent, who just lacked the appropriate high-rank Cultivation Methods?" Wan Qinghe speculated in his heart.


    But he was not certain.


    After pondering for a while.


    Wan Qinghe activated his smart wristband and selected a prominently marked contact from his list.


    He dialed.


    Beep¡ªbeep¡ªcall connected.


    Hum~ a holographic screen formed, showing a burly man holding a combat saber, his presence formidable.


    "Brother Wan, what''s the rush to find me? What''s the matter?" the burly man asked jocularly.


    "Ninth Senior Brother."


    "Isn''t Kunlun Martial Arts University about to conduct a special training invitation inspection in Jiangbei Province?" Hall Master Wan spoke with great respect. "I''d like to recommend someone to you in advance."


    ```

 Chapter 59: 57 Bad News! Second Level War Alert!

    "You''re recommending someone to me?"


    The burly man known as Ninth Junior Brother to Hall Master Wan looked surprised and placed his combat saber aside, pondering, "Have you returned from the Ruins Star Realm, Wan disciple?"


    The Ruins Star Realm was a star realm in the southern seas of Xia Country, also a Second Level Star Realm, but far less famous than Rob Sea.


    Wan Qinghe had been adventuring in the Ruins Star Realm for a long time.


    "Yes."


    "I''ve been back for over half a year and forgot to mention it to Ninth Junior Brother," Hall Master Wan said with a smile: "I have returned to Jiang City and now I am the Hall Master of a Fifth Level Martial Hall."


    Ninth Junior Brother not knowing his current situation did not surprise Hall Master Wan.


    Their master was one of Xia Country''s top Martial Path powerhouses, possessing not just the ability of Flying Heaven but could also be considered one of Kunlun Martial Arts University''s ''cornerstones.''


    Hall Master Wan was lucky to be accepted as a nominal disciple back in the day.


    The burly man in the video, however, was a direct disciple.


    In terms of age, Hall Master Wan was a year older than the burly man and had entered the university a year earlier, but according to the rules, all nominal disciples must call direct disciples ''Senior Brother.''


    The distinctions between nominal disciples and direct disciples were crystal clear.


    The gap in status was enormous.


    Moreover, with many years passed, the gap in their strengths had grown even wider, and they had not interacted much in nearly a decade.


    "Wan disciple, you should know that even though I am the ''Eight Institutes'' vice president, I''m only in charge of teaching. The inspection trip to Jiangbei Province was not led by me."


    "I''m not directly responsible for recruitment; at most, I offer suggestions," the burly man said carefully: "If his martial arts talents and strengths are not outstanding enough, he won''t pass the school''s final review."


    He subconsciously thought that Hall Master Wan wanted to use his influence, and he wasn''t too keen on it.


    Nor did he want to strain their relationship.


    After all, when he''d just been accepted by their teacher, Hall Master Wan had helped him quite a bit.


    "Haha, rest assured, Ninth Senior Brother," Hall Master Wan revealed a smile: "I don''t mean to trouble you, on the contrary, I truly wish to recommend a promising talent to you."


    "The one I''m recommending is seventeen and a half, and his Martial Arts Skills have already reached Third Stage Perfection," Hall Master Wan quickly said: "Yesterday, he broke into the top 1000 of the Blue Star youth rankings."


    "Moreover, his spiritual power talent is extremely high, I estimate he can already compare to 13th or 14th Level Martial Artists," Hall Master Wan finished in one breath.


    He laid out all of Li Yuan''s strengths.


    "Oh?" The burly man showed a hint of surprise: "From what you say, this youngster indeed sounds outstanding."


    "No, that''s not right."


    The burly man suddenly expressed doubt: "Wan disciple, based on what you said, he has the potential to aim for Starfire University. Why seek me out?"


    "Does he have a physical disability? Missing an arm or legs?" Ninth Senior Brother inquired: "Or are there other defects?"


    "Senior Brother is perceptive," Hall Master Wan said with a wry smile: "He has not awakened his Martial Spirit."


    "So that''s it," the burly man understood instantly.


    Martial Spirit was one of the most important indicators to measure martial arts talent, if not the most important.


    This could be glimpsed from how much it factored into the college entrance exam scores.


    "This kid, based on what you say, may not find it too difficult to spend hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins to become a Prime Warrior with some extra resources," said the burly man: "But without a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method, forget about becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, it would be difficult to even break through Level 25."


    "It is difficult," agreed Hall Master Wan.


    Yet Hall Master Wan silently muttered that Ninth Senior Brother really set his sights high, mentioning Level 25 when Hall Master Wan himself hadn''t reached Level 25 yet.


    But Wan understood that Ninth Senior Brother was only a step away from becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "With such high mastery of techniques and strong spiritual power, logically, as long as the compatibility exceeds 80%, he would have the hope of sensing Cosmic Origin Power through a Cultivation Method," the burly man frowned: "His age is also approaching the limit... There''s a ninety-nine percent chance that our human civilization''s seven major High Rank Cultivation Methods don''t suit him."


    "If he wants to achieve great success in the future, he must create a High Rank Cultivation Method that suits himself," the burly man said with a hint of regret in his voice.


    The burly man''s vision was indeed high.


    He knew very well that to date, the human civilization''s seven major High Rank Methods were mostly developed by Flying Heaven Warriors, even those at the very pinnacle, through their personal experience and repeated experiments, gradually summarizing them over time.


    Creating a High Rank Cultivation Method, even if it was the most basic one tailored only to himself, would be extremely difficult for a Prime Warrior.


    Throughout the entire human civilization, such genius individuals were also rare.


    "Yes, it''s very difficult," Hall Master Wan acknowledged the difficulty of creating one''s own Cultivation Method: "But he truly is a promising seed, at least there''s a great hope for him to become a Prime Warrior."


    "A Prime Warrior?" The burly man pondered for a moment: "Here''s what we''ll do, Wan disciple. Send me his detailed information."


    "I''ll speak to Teacher Fan Jin for you and ask him to pay attention to this matter."


    "Teacher Fan Jin? Is he the visiting teacher coming to Jiangbei this time?" Hall Master Wan''s eyes lit up.


    Fan Jin was one of the teachers who had taught Hall Master Wan in the past.


    "Hmm, there are eight teachers organizing the inspection trip to Jiangbei, one from each of the Eight Institutes," the burly man said with a smile: "You also know that Jiangbei Province is one of the provinces where Kunlun Martial Arts University recruits the largest number of students."


    Hall Master Wan couldn''t help but nod.


    The five renown schools of Xia Country, each year, recruit about two thousand students each, a total of ten thousand.


    Out of which, about five hundred are recruited in Jiangbei Province alone, with Kunlun Martial Arts University recruiting more than 300 of them.


    However, those who make it to the special training list don''t exceed 15% of the admitted students.


    "As long as the kid is as you say, with decent Martial Arts Skills and spiritual power, he should have no problem getting on the special training list," the burly man didn''t finish his thought.


    "Thank you for the trouble, Ninth Senior Brother," said Hall Master Wan.


    He disconnected the communication.


    "Li Yuan."


    "I have done all I could for you," Hall Master Wan sighed inwardly: "I hope you can seize this opportunity."


    After a moment of thought.


    Hall Master Wan sent a message to Xu Bo.


    ...


    In the daytime, just after one in the afternoon.


    After lunch, Li Yuan arrived outside Xu Bo''s office, the door was open.


    "Teacher, you were looking for me," Li Yuan stood at the doorway.


    He had just received Xu Bo''s V-Chat message and came straight away.


    "Come in first," Xu Bo stood by the window.


    He was gazing at the cherry blossoms that were gradually blooming along the sides of the road outside.


    Every year, in March and April, it was the time when Jiang City''s cherry blossoms bloomed and attracted people from all over the country to visit and play.


    "You''ve entered the top one thousand of the Blue Star Youth Rankings, haven''t you?" Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, "Your progress is faster than I expected."


    "Teacher knows?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    He had only tried the advancement match after two in the morning.


    "News from Starfire Martial Hall," Xu Bo said and then roughly told Li Yuan about Lord Wan contacting Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    "A dean from Kunlun Martial Arts University?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    Martial Arts University is incomparable to an ordinary cultural university.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, one had to at least be a Prime Warrior to hold a position in any ordinary Martial Arts University.


    A dean? Definitely a big shot.


    "I''m not sure who it is, but Lord Wan really has you in mind."


    "For this invitation event, the observer from Kunlun Martial Arts University will probably come to assess you specifically," Xu Bo instructed, "Prepare well and seize the opportunity."


    "The student understands," Li Yuan said solemnly.


    He immediately realized this was a rare opportunity.


    Perhaps, if he just demonstrated his strength normally, he could get an invitation for special training from the top five prestigious schools.


    But with additional attention, it would naturally be easier.


    "What a pity," Xu Bo suddenly sighed a little.


    "Teacher, what is it?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "I just think, if you had awakened your Martial Spirit and had the bonus of Spiritual Nature, you might have even had a chance at Starry Sky University or Starfire University," Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan with quite a bit of regret.


    "The top three global elite martial institutions?" Li Yuan smiled, something he had never dared to think about. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The top three global elite martial institutions only recruited around a thousand people worldwide each year.


    Based on exam results, only the top ten in the whole province had a certain guarantee of entry.


    Li Yuan''s initial goal was just the top five prestigious schools.


    ...


    As time went by day by day, Li Yuan''s life continued in a straight line of three points.


    Aside from studying cultural classes in the morning.


    The rest of the time, Li Yuan devoted himself to cultivating his Fist Technique and Spear Technique, hoping to make a complete breakthrough in his Spear Technique.


    Before long, it was March 13th.


    Inside Martial Arts Room 4011.


    "Skills are interconnected."


    "Unity of body and mind, I feel that the strength in my body runs uniformly and reaches perfection," Li Yuan thought to himself, "I''ve even started to uncover deeper levels of strength in my body."


    "The might of my Spear Technique is also constantly improving."


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The long spear in Li Yuan''s hand changed unpredictably, darting with thrusts, whips, uplifts, and horizontal cuts.


    "Bang~"


    "Bang~" "Bang~" The giant sandbag hanging in mid-air in the Martial Arts Room, weighing a thousand kilograms, kept bursting with dull sounds.


    This training sandbag was replaced by Li Yuan a month ago at his own expense to better facilitate his training.


    "Solid Rock Spear Technique, the five major killing moves, I''ve completely mastered them and truly engraved them into my bones," Li Yuan''s eyes shone brilliantly as he handled the long spear with endless variations, as if it had merged with him.


    "But..."


    "I still can''t fully master the first move of the Stellar Spear Technique, ''Stellar Illumination,''" Li Yuan kept trying.


    The might of his Spear Technique continued to improve.


    But for several days now, the Spear Technique skill on the Divine Palace panel was still stuck at Third Stage 99%.


    "The Divine Palace panel doesn''t give any hints."


    "But I have a feeling," Li Yuan''s eyes were bright: "I''m getting more and more proficient with this move, and if I keep practicing like this, I''ll soon have complete control over the first technique."


    Li Yuan had a premonition that once he mastered it perfectly, that would be the time his Spear Technique would step into the Fourth Level.


    It''s not about slow progress, but the lack of hope.


    "Beep¡ª Beep¡ª" Suddenly, a sound arose.


    "Master, your sister ''Li Qianqian'' is urgently trying to reach you," the assistant AI''s voice rang out.


    "Urgent contact?" Li Yuan was startled and immediately sheathed his spear and said, "Connect."


    Whoosh~


    A holographic screen formed, showing Li Qianqian''s small oval face, full of anxiety, with tears swirling in her eyes.


    Judging by the background, she seemed to be standing in a corner of a corridor.


    "Brother!" Li Qianqian cried out as soon as the communication connected.


    "Qian Qian, what''s the matter?" Li Yuan''s voice was low: "What happened? Don''t panic, tell me slowly."


    "Rob Sea!"


    "So many people have died in the Rob Sea Star Realm, the war has escalated," Li Qianqian''s voice trembled with tension: "The country has already issued a Second Level war alert. Our teacher just spoke of it in class."


    "Second Level war alert?" Li Yuan''s pupils shrank.


    The flames of war had been at a Third Level alert for the past half a year.


    Moreover, just two days ago, he had video called his uncle, and the war in the Rob Sea Star Realm was about to end, wasn''t it?


    The war hadn''t ended yet, but had escalated?


    "I just tried to call Dad, and it said he wasn''t in the service area," Li Qianqian was extremely anxious: "I called Mom, and she didn''t pick up either."


    "Brother!"


    "You don''t think Dad is in trouble, do you?!"

 Chapter 60: 58: The Uncertain Fate of Li Changzhou

    "Out of the service area?" Li Yuan''s heart gave a jolt.


    If it was temporarily unreachable, that would be quite normal, perhaps they were just busy.


    But being out of the service area, there were only two possibilities.


    First, the signal at uncle''s location was being interfered with.


    Second, uncle was within the Star Realm.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, the interior of the Star Realm was very special, seemingly not in the same space as the regular Blue Star world, causing many technological weapons to malfunction and communication to be extremely inconvenient.


    "Could it be that uncle had already entered the Star Realm?" Li Yuan thought with a sinking feeling.


    According to recent news about the military situation in the Rob Sea, the military and Martial Hall''s martial artists had already penetrated deep into the Star Realm to counter-attack.


    Yet, when communicating with his uncle, his uncle always mentioned being at the ''Number 7 Base'' in the far rear.


    In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Qianqian, don''t worry too much, uncle will be alright," Li Yuan said, still appearing very calm on the surface.


    Li Yuan did not want his sister to be frightened.


    "It must be that the signal was affected, so it''s out of the service area."


    "Uncle has always been in the rear, even if an unexpected situation were to arise in the battle, he would be able to withdraw quickly," Li Yuan comforted her, "Aunt might be in class and unable to answer the phone, so don''t worry too much."


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua''s middle school and the school where Chen Hui worked were not the same one.


    "Really, brother?" Li Qianqian seemed somewhat reassured, but still full of worry, "Is my dad really in the far rear?"


    "Of course, it''s true," Li Yuan said with a slight smile, "Alright, go back to class for now. I''ll let you know if there''s any news."


    He hung up the phone.


    The smile disappeared from Li Yuan''s face, as he spoke directly, "Xiao Yu, immediately search for the latest military situation about the Rob Sea, check if a Second Level war alert has been triggered."


    A Third Level war alert already meant a large-scale deployment of troops and martial artists to provide reinforcements.


    Second Level? That meant the entire Star Realm defense line was at risk of being completely breached.


    All the provinces would have to provide support on a massive scale.


    "Yes, master," the auxiliary AI responded.


    Only a few seconds later.


    Hum~ The holographic screen formed.


    It displayed a news video, featuring Xia Country''s military spokesperson.


    The time of the news release was thirty minutes ago.


    The spokesperson, clad in military attire, had a serious expression and a hint of sorrow as he reported.


    "...The Second Level Star Realm, Rob Sea... since last September, up to now, there have been over eleven thousand casualties... Initiating Second Level war alert," the spokesperson announced solemnly.


    "I believe that in this war, Xia Country will be victorious, humanity will prevail."


    Right after that, one piece of news after another appeared on the screen: they were about large-scale gatherings and mobilizations from various places.


    "Support teams from twenty-nine Martial Arts Universities."


    "Combat robot legions."


    "Sky and Space Forces."


    Across vast wilderness, multitudes of multi-functional armored vehicles speeding onwards non-stop...


    On airport runways, rows of fighter jets and flying crafts taking off continuously...


    Alongside high-speed rail tracks, endless formations of fully prepped combat robots ready to deploy...


    ...In various places across Xia Country, troops of ready martial artists stationed at the two great Martial Halls similarly began to urgently depart.


    Support from all directions.


    ...


    All of this.


    Indicated just how urgent and dangerous the situation was in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Watching each piece of news on the screen, Li Yuan''s fists clenched involuntarily, veins on the backs of his hands bulging slightly.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan thought of the Star Realm disaster he personally experienced more than a decade ago.


    He had survived.


    But his parents had left him forever.


    Now, was this scene to be reenacted? As for uncle, even if he was in the so-called far rear, it was still the rear of the front lines.


    Was it truly safe?


    Thinking this, Li Yuan subconsciously looked out the window.


    It was still a day filled with bright sunshine and the fragrance of cherry blossoms.


    Through the window, one could see on one side of the Martial Arts teaching building, numerous students were still methodically engaged in their Martial Arts Cultivation, many even playing and fooling around.


    The Second Level war alert had only been issued a short while ago.


    Apart from the military and the two great Martial Halls, the majority of ordinary people were probably still unaware.


    Moreover, Northern Border Province was quite far from Jiangbei Province.


    A Second Level war alert mainly involved the deployment of military martial artists, and at most, the conscription of retired soldiers; it would not result in a total mobilization of civilians and would not cause much impact on Jiang City.


    "Xiao Yu, connect me to uncle," Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    "Beep¡ªThe target is not in the service area and cannot be reached," Xiao Yu replied.


    "Connect me to aunt," Li Yuan spoke again.


    "Beep¡ªBeep¡ª" Each second felt like a long wait.


    The call connected.


    But Chen Hui did not turn on the video, it only showed voice communication.


    "Aunt?" Li Yuan spoke directly, "The Rob Sea¡­"


    "Xiao Yuan, I know, there''s no need to worry," Chen Hui''s voice was quite calm, "As soon as I got the news, I immediately called a colleague from your uncle''s company headquarters to ask."


    "The Number 7 Base where your uncle is at hasn''t been attacked; they''ve begun to retreat, but the signal is probably affected."


    Chen Hui said, "I guess he''ll call us tonight or tomorrow."


    "Is that so?" Li Yuan''s heart eased slightly.


    What worried him the most was the possibility of his uncle''s location being attacked and losing contact.


    "Yes, you don''t need to worry too much," Chen Hui''s voice remained light-hearted, "Alright, I have a meeting starting soon, so I have to hang up now."


    "Okay."


    He hung up the phone.


    ...inside an office at the school, empty, all the other teachers had gone to teach.


    He hung up the phone with Li Yuan.


    "Changzhou," Chen Hui''s eyes were bloodshot, tears faintly visible as she flipped through the light screen.


    Another chat screen appeared, the contact was named ''Manager Liu of Xia Construction Ninth Bureau''.


    The last message sent by the other party was clear: "Chen Hui, don''t panic, the Base Three where Old Li and the others are located has indeed lost contact, but the company has not confirmed that it has completely fallen. The war base is very sturdy, and there is still hope for rescue."


    Base Three was a forward base.


    "Definitely!"


    "They must survive," Chen Hui silently chanted in her heart.


    What echoed in her mind were all the moments she had experienced with Li Changzhou over the past twenty years.


    Chen Hui understood that the front line of the war was so dangerous that the entire war base had lost contact... the hope was slim.


    But.


    Without confirmed news of the base''s complete fall, Chen Hui would still hold on to hope.


    ...


    After hanging up with his aunt, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, no longer as worried as before.


    Suddenly, his eyes widened.


    Something was wrong! There''s a problem!


    "If my uncle were really safe, my aunt would have shown concern, or even complained to me," Li Yuan thought like lightning, "But my aunt spoke too casually."


    That wasn''t like his aunt at all. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At the same time, Li Yuan wondered, why didn''t his aunt answer the video call?


    Could it be?


    After taking a deep breath, Li Yuan spoke up again, "Little Yu, help me contact Wang Haoyu, noted as Uncle Wang."


    Wang Haoyu was his uncle''s former department colleague and a good friend of his uncle''s.


    Li Yuan remembered that when he was in elementary school, Uncle Wang and his Uncle Li Changzhou often drank and ate together.


    However, ever since his uncle applied for an external assignment, they were in contact much less frequently.


    Soon the call connected, and a middle-aged man in a suit appeared on the screen.


    "Uncle Wang," Li Yuan''s face was full of anxiety, "How is my second uncle doing? Have you been able to contact him? Did they evacuate?"


    "Little Yuan, you know already?" Uncle Wang on the video was taken aback.


    "I mostly know," Li Yuan was anxious, "Weren''t they saying that the war was nearly over? How did it suddenly come to this? Uncle Wang, do you know the latest situation?"


    "Since your aunt has told you, I won''t hide it." Uncle Wang sighed, "Base Three, although it wasn''t the first to be counterattacked, it is located on the edge of the Star Realm. It''s indeed out of contact now and probably under siege."


    Base Three? Li Yuan felt as if struck by lightning.


    His uncle wasn''t at Base Seven but at Base Three?


    "But Base Three is a forward base, the sturdiest of all. The country is gathering forces for a rescue," Uncle Wang said gravely, "Perhaps they can be rescued... Anyway, there''s still hope."


    "Also."


    Uncle Wang hesitated then said, "Little Yuan, I heard that you have achieved a lot in the Martial Path and even earned the ''Young Hero'' title. I was happy for you when I first found out."


    "You''ve grown up, and if, I mean if... it''s the worst outcome, you have to be strong, take good care of your aunt and your younger siblings, understand?" Uncle Wang looked at the somewhat silent young man in white on the video.


    Uncle Wang felt an unwillingness and even thought his words were somewhat cruel.


    He had watched Li Yuan grow up.


    But he felt that, at this time, he should admonish Li Yuan.


    "I understand, fully understand," Li Yuan said in a low voice, "Don''t worry, Uncle Wang. I will take good care of the family."


    "Alright, I''ll come over to see you and your aunt in a couple of days," Uncle Wang said finally, "I''m still busy over here, call me if anything comes up."


    "Hmm, thank you, Uncle Wang," Li Yuan ended the call.


    In the Martial Arts Room.


    Li Yuan was somewhat stunned, even feeling slightly dizzy, his mind full of Uncle Wang''s recent words ¨C Base Three!


    Lost contact, possibly fallen?


    Besides, he could tell from Uncle Wang''s words that it was highly likely his uncle wouldn''t make it back alive.


    "Definitely."


    "There must be hope."


    "Uncle, you must still be alive." Li Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his heart torn, full of despair.


    But still, Li Yuan harbored a sliver of hope in his heart.


    He stood still, not moving.


    Li Yuan was silent for a long time.


    As if he had come to a clear decision, Li Yuan began sending out messages to some people, including his younger siblings.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan bent down slightly, picking up the large spear he had discarded on the ground moments before.


    "What has happened cannot be changed."


    "Whether my uncle can survive is not within my control; that depends on the national military, on the martial artists," Li Yuan clenched his teeth, his heart was trembling with anxiety.


    "All I can do is pray for my uncle''s safe return."


    In Li Yuan''s heart, his uncle and father were no different.


    "If... it''s really that outcome," Li Yuan''s eyes reddened slightly, "like what Uncle Wang said."


    "I must hold up this family."


    "Uncle would definitely not want me to wallow in sadness, he would wish for me to live on like a man," Li Yuan clenched his fists tightly.


    His eyes reddened, yet no tears fell.


    Li Yuan did not make more calls nor did he flip through the news again.


    Instead, he began practicing with his spear again!


    Spear shadows emerged once more.


    In the Martial Arts Room, they swept through the air in a howling burst, Solid Rock Pillar, Hidden Dragon in the Gorge, Visions of Many Mountains... He executed each move of the Solid Rock Spear Technique flawlessly.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!" In that moment, Li Yuan felt as if the sandbags before him had turned into the Fish Spirit Clan.


    They had become those bloodthirsty creatures from the Star Realm.


    Li Yuan''s heart was filled with an uncontrollable anxiety and sadness, and a hint of anger he wanted to release violently.


    Stabbing and cleaving with the spear again and again as time passed, Li Yuan''s spear technique became faster!


    More ferocious.


    It had surpassed the past! He was truly beginning to reach a new realm.

 Chapter 61: 59 Fourth Level Spear Technique

    After five to six days, Li Yuan''s Fist Technique had already improved to the Fourth Level at 6%, but his Spear Technique had not been able to break through.


    Body and mind integration is the foundation of Body-Mind-Weapon Integration.


    Therefore, Li Yuan practiced the Solid Rock Spear Technique over and over again, constantly pondering the first move of the Stellar Spear Technique.


    This increased the might of his Spear Technique continuously.


    But!


    Body-Mind-Weapon Integration, the emphasis lies in the word "weapon", that is, the control over the weapon.


    The weapon is an extension of the body.


    Yet, it ultimately isn''t a part of the body, the spirit, the consciousness, the nerves cannot truly connect to the weapon.


    So, to perceive the flow of force within the weapon as clearly as one perceives the muscles and vigor of the body is very difficult.


    During these days, the might of the Spear Technique improved.


    This signified that Li Yuan''s perception of the redundant forces generated during the weapon''s motion, strikes, collisions, withdrawals, and Straight Thrusts was becoming increasingly clear.


    Until today.


    Until this moment.


    When the news of his uncle''s uncertain fate arrived, Li Yuan swung the Long Spear filled with anger and murderous intent over and over again.


    He executed the moves repeatedly!


    A full hour passed.


    All that remained in Li Yuan''s mind was the Spear Technique, desiring to exhaust all his energy completely.


    Finally, as if resulting from a build-up of potential to a critical point, or perhaps as if destined by fortune.


    "Boom!" In Li Yuan''s mind, it was as if a door had been gently pushed open.


    His powerful spiritual power, as if it had grown eyes, subtly permeated the inside of the weapon.


    He perceived the extremely subtle flow of vigor within the weapon.


    "Rip~"


    The Long Spear danced, its tip drew dazzling arcs of light in mid-air, moving unpredictably, tearing the air and producing astonishing explosive sounds.


    Body, spirit, Long Spear!


    The three achieved complete Unity.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Overwhelming Spear Light flickered, enveloping Li Yuan in the center, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, round and flawless, impregnable.


    It was the ''Stellar Illumination'' among the five ultimate moves of the Stellar Spear Technique.


    The Stellar Spear Technique, renowned for its Defense, with the first move, Stellar Illumination, as the opening form, is also the most essential one.


    Having mastered the first form.


    One could gradually extend to the following four forms, and eventually, when all five forms are integrated, comprehend the Stellar Realm.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has been elevated from the Third Stage at 99% to the Fourth Level at 2%]


    A prompt flashed on Li Yuan''s Divine Palace panel.


    Whew!


    This unprecedented burst of power, coupled with the hours of practice that preceded it.


    At last drained all of Li Yuan''s energy.


    Li Yuan felt an unparalleled exhaustion in both his spirit and body, waves of fatigue overwhelmed him, and his eyelids began to droop involuntarily.


    "Clang~" The twenty-kilogram Long Spear hit the ground.


    Li Yuan simply sat down on the ground, and then collapsed entirely.


    He fell asleep right there.


    Too exhausted.


    ...


    More than an hour later.


    Li Yuan was already lying in the bed of his rest room, snoring loudly.


    Next to him, Zhou Qi and L¨« Tianyou were sweating profusely.


    Having practiced Basic Cultivation Methods, Physical Quality had increased continuously, which meant the body had also become heavier; it had not been easy for the two of them to get Li Yuan onto the bed.


    Then, they covered him with a thin quilt.


    In March, Jiang City still carried a bit of chill.


    "Teacher Xu, Li Yuan will be okay, right?" Zhou Qi couldn''t help asking, a hint of concern in his eyes.


    "He''ll be fine."


    "He must have practiced Spear Technique to the limit, exhausted his strength, too tired," Xu Bo said indifferently from the side


    "How did you guys know something was wrong with Li Yuan?" Xu Bo looked at the two of them.


    Zhou Qi and L¨« Tianyou exchanged a glance.


    "Teacher, wasn''t there an incident in Rob Sea?" L¨« Tianyou took the initiative, "Li Yuan''s uncle has always been there, and since Li Yuan didn''t come down for dinner... we got a bit worried, so we thought we''d check on him."


    "The door was ajar, we pushed it open and found him," continued L¨« Tianyou.


    "And you?" Xu Bo looked towards Lin Lanyue standing by the door.


    "I saw them rush out from the Martial Arts Room looking panicked, so I came over to have a look," today Lin Lanyue was dressed in a red martial outfit, "and immediately sent a message to you, Teacher."


    Lin Lanyue''s gaze settled on Li Yuan''s face.


    Xu Bo nodded slightly and added, "Has Li Yuan''s uncle not returned to Jiangbei yet?"


    "No," Zhou Qi shook his head, "from what Li Yuan said, it seems like he''s always been on the front lines."


    "Alright, I got it," Xu Bo nodded, "Zhou Qi, you two go have your meal first."


    "Yes."


    Zhou Qi and L¨« Tianyou left the Martial Arts Room.


    "Lin Lanyue," Xu Bo turned to Lin Lanyue, speaking gravely, "Li Yuan''s uncle''s incident, it seems, has had a big impact on him."


    "Tomorrow afternoon."


    "You''re setting off for Jiangbei Martial Arts University; you are more familiar with that place... do your best to help him out."


    "As for Li Yuan," Xu Bo''s gaze returned to Li Yuan lying on the bed, he sighed lightly, "his luck has always been not very good."


    "Luck?" Lin Lanyue was startled upon hearing this, and asked, "His fainting is related to his uncle? Is his uncle that important to him?"


    In Lin Lanyue''s impression, Li Yuan was supposed to have an extremely strong will.


    "He is an orphan."


    Xu Bo said indifferently, "It was his uncle who raised him, and from what I know, his uncle went adventuring in Rob Sea probably to earn more subsidies for Li Yuan''s Martial Path cultivation."


    Lin Lanyue''s heart trembled slightly, she couldn''t help but glance at Li Yuan lying on the bed.


    ```


    She had not expected Li Yuan''s background to be so special.


    She had had no idea before.


    "Did his uncle sacrifice himself?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help asking.


    "Not sure," Xu Bo shook his head, "As you know, the situation in the Rob Sea is incredibly chaotic, but judging from Li Yuan''s expression, the outlook doesn''t seem too good... The war in the Star Realm is hard to call."


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, her background made her very worldly.


    In some respects, she had insights that Xu Bo didn''t necessarily have.


    "Teacher Xu, I will do my best to help Li Yuan in this invitation event," Lin Lanyue''s gaze swept over Li Yuan once more, as if she had made a certain decision: "I''ll try my best to get him on the special training list."


    "However."


    "You don''t have to go out of your way to tell Li Yuan," Lin Lanyue added: "With his personality, he probably wouldn''t like to accept direct help from others."


    "Hmm, let me thank you on behalf of Li Yuan," Xu Bo smiled faintly: "You go back first, I''m here, no need to worry."


    ...


    After watching Lin Lanyue leave, Xu Bo''s gaze fell back on Li Yuan, his brow slightly furrowed.


    "Really training with the spear to the limit? Tired to this extent?" Xu Bo murmured to himself.


    The initial check by the rest room equipment confirmed there were no major issues with Li Yuan''s body.


    All indicators were normal.


    Thinking of this, Xu Bo exited the resting room, gently closed the door behind him, and spoke in a low voice: "Black Dog, I want to check the Martial Arts Room 4011, I am applying for video access."


    Every individual Martial Arts Room, aside from the resting areas, was monitored.


    But ordinary teachers didn''t have the authority to view the footage.


    After a while.


    "Master, the application is successful, you can check the videos from the past seven days," the assistant AI''s voice rang out.


    Whirr~


    Xu Bo''s smart ring projected a light screen which showed the inside of the Martial Arts Room.


    "Play the scene from two hours earlier," Xu Bo commanded.


    The scenes in the light screen immediately changed, revealing Li Yuan practicing his Spear Technique in the Martial Arts Room.


    Just one look.


    "This Spear Technique?" Xu Bo''s pupils showed a hint of surprise, how could he not recognize the impressiveness of Li Yuan''s Spear Technique? It was clearly much stronger than before.


    Time passed.


    Faster! Faster! Xu Bo kept watching until he finally stopped speeding up the footage.


    The most crucial moment arrived.


    "Fourth Stage Spear Technique!" Xu Bo''s eyes widened, shock filling his gaze.


    "Seventeen and a half years old, Fourth Stage Spear Technique?"


    Xu Bo knew that with Li Yuan''s rate of progress, he would eventually enter the Fourth Stage of Spear Technique.


    But he had never imagined Li Yuan would breakthrough so quickly.


    "The special training list is secured," Xu Bo grinned.


    Then, he glanced at the slightly ajar door next to him, and his smile faded away.


    "Oh."


    ...


    It was past eight in the evening.


    Li Yuan gradually awoke from a deep sleep, his head pounding and his body still feeling overwhelmingly fatigued.


    "Me? Am I on a bed?" Li Yuan noticed the light blanket covering him.


    The light suddenly turned on, the door opened, and the light was blinding.


    Li Yuan subconsciously covered his eyes.


    "Awake?" A pleasant voice sounded, and a girl in a crimson training outfit stood by the door, seemingly holding a few boxes of nutrition meals.


    "Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan recognized the owner of the voice.


    "I''ve just reheated the nutrition meals for you; they''re on the dining table there, you should get up and eat," Lin Lanyue said: "I''ll call Teacher Xu over."


    After putting down the items, Lin Lanyue turned and left.


    Li Yuan sat up swiftly, quickly coming to his senses as the headache eased: "Did I pass out on the floor while practicing with the spear?"


    After getting out of bed and washing up.


    Li Yuan stepped out of the rest room and approached the dining table, where four boxes of nutrition meals were laid out.


    He was too hungry to think much, so he started eating voraciously.


    "Finally awake? Looks like you''ve got quite an appetite," Xu Bo''s voice came from the doorway.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan set down his chopsticks and stood up.


    "Don''t get up, sit and eat," Xu Bo said with a slight smile: "It''s your first time performing Fourth Stage Spear Technique, the sudden, excessive physical exhaustion must have made you hungry."


    "Teacher knows I''ve achieved Fourth Stage with my Spear Technique?" Li Yuan was slightly taken aback. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Xu Bo smiled and didn''t explain.


    "Where is Lin Lanyue?" Li Yuan instinctively looked towards the doorway.


    "I had her go back to cultivate," Xu Bo said: "She cares for you, at six o''clock she bought you meals, fearing you wouldn''t have enough, she bought four boxes."


    Li Yuan felt a warm feeling in his heart and couldn''t help saying: "She found me unconscious?"


    "The ones who found you were Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou," Xu Bo said: "Then Lin Lanyue happened to be there, and she called me over."


    Li Yuan nodded and continued to eat voraciously.


    He was indeed hungry.


    "You pushed yourself too hard in spear training and then suddenly had a breakthrough, your body couldn''t handle the consumption all at once and so you fainted," Xu Bo said standing by: "Don''t worry, once your body gradually adapts, it''ll be fine."


    As Li Yuan ate, he asked: "Teacher, is it common for people to experience this upon breaking through to the Fourth Stage with their technique?"


    "Most won''t," Xu Bo said: "Most Martial Artists break through to the Fourth Stage of a technique after reaching level 15, when their bodies are strong enough."


    "Your body is too weak."


    "With Body-Mind-Weapon Integration, and your spiritual power being much stronger than your physical quality, the immense consumption in an instant is what caused this," Xu Bo explained.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    He devoured a box of food like a whirlwind, yet he didn''t feel sated at all.


    Now, Li Yuan felt like he could eat a whole cow.


    "Li Yuan, your uncle is at Base Three, right?" Xu Bo suddenly said.


    Li Yuan froze, his voice tinged with excitement: "Teacher, is there news?"


    "Base Three has not fallen," Xu Bo said gravely.


    ```

 Chapter 62: 60: Flying Heaven Warrior, Civilizations Blade

    "Really?" Li Yuan looked at Xu Bo excitedly, momentarily forgetting to continue eating.


    When his Fist Technique broke through to the Fourth Level, Li Yuan was very excited and joyful. He planned to share the good news with his uncle once his rank on the Starry Skies Fighting Network was raised to Fallen Star.


    But when his Spear Technique stepped into the Fourth Level, Li Yuan''s heart lacked that joy.


    It wasn''t until now, learning that Base Three had not yet fallen, that Li Yuan''s somewhat suppressed mood lifted considerably.


    In his heart, hope was kindled.


    "Teacher, where did this information come from?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "I heard about your uncle from Zhou Qi," Xu Bo said. "The school has some of your uncle''s information. Xia Country''s Iron Ninth Bureau... I asked around, and the Iron Ninth Bureau''s construction support teams are mainly concentrated in Bases Three and Four."


    "At present, only Base Three has lost contact," Xu Bo said. "Given your situation, I inferred that your uncle should be at Base Three."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Having spent so much time together, Li Yuan had long realized that although his teacher appeared to be a rough man, he was actually incredibly perceptive.


    "My second uncle is at Base Three," Li Yuan said.


    "From what I know, this time, it''s the fiercest counterattack by the Alien Race from the depths of the Rob Sea. They had been accumulating strength for years, constantly luring the enemy deeper..." Xu Bo briefly explained. "The casualties have been heavy; the first three War Bases have been besieged, and Bases One and Two have already fallen."


    "Base Three is the oldest of the forward bases and the most robust; it has been confirmed to still be resisting."


    "The state has already dispatched a large amount of support forces to push back the Alien Race that broke through from the Rob Sea Star Realm." Xu Bo said, "Right now, they are also going all out in the rescue effort for Base Three."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Xu Bo''s words were simple, yet they contained a massive amount of information.


    "Can they be saved?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "First, let''s watch a recent combat video. This is an internal military video; don''t share the content elsewhere," Xu Bo said, but he didn''t continue to explain where the video had come from.


    "Black Dog, play the video."


    Beep!


    A light screen projected from Xu Bo''s smart ring and a video appeared on it.


    Li Yuan watched the video.


    The dark sky was raining.


    There was a vague blood hue in the sky, and majestic mountain ranges stretched into the depths of the earth.


    Rocky and barren mountains were numerous, with scarce vegetation, and one could vaguely see many skeletal remains, macabre and terrifying.


    "The Rob Sea Star Realm?" Li Yuan''s pupils contracted slightly.


    He had seen many documentaries about the Rob Sea Star Realm and had some understanding of its domain.


    "This is the outer perimeter of the Star Realm," Xu Bo said. "Keep watching."


    Quickly, the camera angle changed.


    "Rumble rumble~" At the same time, an immensely frenzied roar came from the video.


    A gigantic metal War Fortress appeared in the video, with an area so vast and standing thousands of kilometers tall. Built against the mountains, it resembled an undying steel city.


    Visibly, the outermost layer of the fortress showed countless outlets, revealing a massive array of cannon muzzles and gun barrels, sinister and terrifying.


    At that moment, countless fire serpents were pouring out from those cannon muzzles.


    "Howl!"


    "Roar!" "Roar!" A multitude of large beasts with strange appearances charged from a hundred miles away at a stunning speed, from the sky and through the passageways between the rolling mountain ranges, relentlessly towards the steel War Fortress in the extreme distance.


    "Beast-type Star Realm Creatures?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    Using flesh and bone to fight against thermal weapons.


    "Boom!" Countless cannons fired, and smoke filled the air.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! These Star Realm Creatures varied from several meters to dozens of meters in size, all moving at a stunning speed. While advancing, they were making great efforts to dodge the firepower.


    Large-caliber, high-speed metal bullets streamed like fire serpents, wildly ravaging the ground. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The vast majority of Star Realm Creatures were instantly torn apart if swept by the large calibers or hit by the cannons.


    But.


    When the stream of bullets struck a few Star Realm Creatures, a thin layer of red light would instantly appear on their surface, preventing them from being torn apart by the barrage. They could only be forced backward, not destroyed.


    Even among these few creatures with red light shining on their bodies, one swift move could cover hundreds of meters. They didn''t dodge at all, completely withstanding the metal onslaught and advancing without interruption.


    It was chilling.


    "Origin Power?" Li Yuan said instinctively.


    "Correct," Xu Bo also stared at the light screen, speaking softly, "to withstand the metal bullet stream, they must be at least Second Rank Alien Species. They have cultivated Origin Power into their bodies, their vitality is formidable, and their defense is terrifying."


    "In the Star Realm, unlike on Blue Star, many high-tech weapons can''t be used."


    Li Yuan watched and listened.


    Many of these bits of knowledge had been covered in middle and high school classrooms, and he was somewhat familiar with them.


    High-speed missiles guided by satellites and many super long-range weapons were difficult to use in the Star Realm... because fundamentally, the Star Realm and Blue Star weren''t in the same world.


    The more cutting-edge the technology for the weapons, the more limited its use.


    On the contrary, purely close-range thermal weapons powered by gunpowder were relatively unaffected by the environment.


    "Is this Base Three?" Li Yuan watched nervously in the video.


    That massive War Fortress standing between heaven and earth was like a monstrous metal beast devouring life, slaughtering countless Star Realm Creatures on the path of their assault.


    But!!


    The Star Realm creatures suffered heavy casualties, but their numbers were astonishing, and instead of swarming en masse, they dispersed strategically, minimizing their own losses.


    "Are they trying to deplete the War Fortress''s ammunition?" Li Yuan instantly surmised.


    As time elapsed, the video showed that under the cover of numerous Second Rank creatures, the Star Realm creatures'' army was getting closer and closer to the area where the War Fortress was located.


    Star Realm creatures were pure cannon fodder.


    Watching the intense battle in the video, Li Yuan''s tension ran high, his fists clenched subconsciously.


    But just as the Star Realm creatures'' army gradually approached the outer defense line of the War Fortress, suddenly¡ª


    "Boom!" An inconspicuous exit appeared on the massive War Fortress.


    The next moment¡ª


    A golden stream of light burst forth from the exit, its terrifying speed creating a visible shockwave in its trajectory.


    Even with Li Yuan''s eyesight, he could barely make out the details of the golden light.


    Buzz~The video slowed down to more than ten times its normal speed.


    "What''s that?" Li Yuan finally saw it more clearly¡ªa human figure cloaked in the golden light, seeming to wear a metallic battle garment, wielding a Combat Saber.


    Soaring through the void!


    "A Flying Heaven Warrior?" Li Yuan was breathless, a wave of fervor boiling within him.


    Legends spoke of powerful warriors who could soar through the heavens and burrow through the earth, the true guardians of human civilization.


    Only two seconds.


    "Buzz~" The video returned to normal speed, and that dazzling golden light had torn through the sky, its speed far exceeding multiples of the speed of sound!


    "Poom~"


    "Poom~" "Poom~!" In the sky, those Second Rank flying creatures screamed in terror and scattered, their flying speed soaring to over a hundred meters per second under the threat of death.


    A rare few flying Star Realm creatures even reached near-sonic speeds, but still, the golden light quickly caught up to them.


    Then came streak after streak of explosive golden Saber light slashing through the Vast Sky.


    Each streak of golden light represented the fall of a flying Star Realm creature, their bodies bursting open, plummeting toward the ground.


    Then¡ª


    The golden light dove down from the thousands of meters in the sky, rocks shattering explosively¡ªit was like a deathly golden beam.


    Wherever it passed, all the mighty Second Rank creatures, whether it was serpents over fifty meters long or armored behemoths rising over twenty meters high like small hills, were rended open upon impact.


    The Human warrior bathed in the golden light appeared like an Asura emerging from the depths of hell!


    ...


    The video ended, and Xu Bo simultaneously shut off the intelligent ring display, the Martial Arts Room quieting down.


    Li Yuan''s eyes were wide with surging emotions, his blood boiling, and he couldn''t calm down for a long time.


    Flying Heaven Warriors!


    This was what Li Yuan had imagined¡ªthe supreme martial force capable of soaring through the heavens and roaming freely, standing at the pinnacle of human civilization.


    "Teacher, was that a Flying Heaven Warrior?" Li Yuan asked eagerly, looking up at Xu Bo.


    "He''s not quite a Flying Heaven Warrior, but in terms of strength, many Flying Heaven Warriors are not his match," Xu Bo said.


    Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "Once you enter university, you''ll gradually understand," Xu Bo said seriously. "The person who made that move is named Yu Jinghe, a graduate of Starfire University, and should be considered the foremost Martial Path genius to emerge in Xia Country in the past twenty years."


    Clearly, Xu Bo was very familiar with Yu Jinghe.


    "Yu Jinghe?" Li Yuan held his breath, committing the name to memory.


    Previously, Li Yuan had never heard of this person.


    The world of top martial artists was mysterious and vast; they often wandered the Star Realm, only appearing on the front lines of war during critical moments, serving as the sharpest blades of human civilization.


    Therefore, most of the time, common folks seldom heard the names of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    On the contrary, many Prime Warriors who became top broadcasters were more famous on the virtual Combat Network.


    "The foremost Martial Path genius in Xia Country?" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Indeed impressive.


    "With the Alien Race from the Rob Sea planning for years, under normal circumstances, Base Three would surely have fallen," Xu Bo spoke gravely. "But with Yu Jinghe there, just in time, when coupled with the War Fortress''s defense system, there''s hope it could hold out until reinforcements arrive."


    "That impressive?" Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    "He has the strength to rival a Flying Heaven Warrior," Xu Bo said in a low voice. "Each Flying Heaven Warrior is nearly a humanoid nuclear weapon, one man equivalent to a million-strong army."


    "Every Flying Heaven Warrior is a pillar of strength for human civilization."


    Li Yuan listened quietly.


    In the past, he knew Prime Warriors were strong, and he had heard legends about Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But never had he felt so directly the terrifying martial force of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "Yu Jinghe?"


    "You must hold on," Li Yuan silently prayed. "Uncle, you must survive."


    Meanwhile¡ª


    After watching the video, a seed was planted in Li Yuan''s heart.


    "Flying Heaven Warrior!"


    "One day, I will also become a Flying Heaven Warrior, a lone guardian against a million-strong army, unmatched throughout the Star Realm."

 Chapter 63: 61

    ```The Second Level war alert caused a huge stir in less than a day, with support rushing from all over to the Rob Sea.


    However, for most citizens of Jiang City, life wasn''t greatly affected.


    Watching the military video that Teacher Xu Bo showed him, Li Yuan''s originally tense heart also relaxed quite a bit, and he wasn''t so worried.


    A little past nine in the evening.


    After finishing four boxes of nutritional meals and taking a bottle of basic Qi and blood potion, Li Yuan finally felt most of his hunger dissipate and his body''s sense of fatigue recover substantially.


    "Indeed, it wasn''t wrong."


    "When people are hungry, they only think about eating," Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "Once satiated, all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts come flooding in."


    Li Yuan was even more worried about his uncle.


    He packed up his things.


    "Teacher, I''m heading home," Li Yuan said.


    "Hmm, get everything ready when you get back," Xu Bo said, "Tomorrow afternoon, we''ll head out to Jiangbei Martial Arts University."


    "Yes."


    ... Li Yuan walked out of the elite building with others following.


    "I hope Li Yuan isn''t too badly affected," Xu Bo watched as Li Yuan walked out of the school gate, "With his Spear Technique breakthrough to the Fourth Level, as long as he performs normally, he should be able to make it onto the special training list for Kunlun University."


    "Once he gets past this, the road ahead will be much smoother."


    Xu Bo well knew that Li Yuan''s cultivation was different from ordinary people; he needed a large amount of resources to support it.


    He must strive to get into the core layer of the top five universities.


    ...


    It was nearly ten o''clock when Li Yuan finally got home, his younger brother and sister had already gone to sleep.


    His aunt looked as usual, changing her story to comfort Li Yuan.


    Telling Li Yuan not to worry, just to focus on preparing for the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    "Alright, as long as uncle is fine, I will definitely strive to secure a spot on the special training list," Li Yuan said.


    He didn''t break through his aunt''s lies.


    Li Yuan knew that his aunt''s reluctance to tell him the truth was also for fear of affecting his assessment at the invitation event of Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    "Tomorrow."


    "I will head to Jiangbei Martial Arts University," Li Yuan returned to his room and went through his cultivation as per routine.


    He was not in the least bit complacent about his Spear Technique advancing to the Fourth Level.


    On the contrary.


    Having witnessed the power of a Flying Heaven Warrior, feeling the helplessness of his uncle being in danger, Li Yuan''s motivation to cultivate was stronger than ever before.


    Persistent and steady accumulation is the foundation of great achievements.


    [Your life level has increased from 8.8 to 8.9.]


    [Your Fist Technique, from...]


    [Your speed, from...] The Divine Palace panel issued three consecutive reminders.


    "Fist Technique breakthrough to the Fourth Level."


    "Today, Spear Technique also entered the Fourth Level, I have perfect control over the vigor in my body, uncovering deeper potential, and cultivating the Basic Cultivation Method has indeed increased efficiency," Li Yuan nodded to himself.


    Originally, his cultivation efficiency was already faster than that of most students in the elite class.


    In the future, it will only be faster.


    ...


    After one in the morning, while Li Yuan was still cultivating the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" at home.


    In the Guan Mountain District, Starry Sky South Lake Residential District.


    The name of the district is quite common, but in reality, it is one of the most top-tier residential districts in Guan Mountain District, let alone the entire Jiang City.


    Because, those who live here are families of Martial Artists from the Starry Sky Martial Hall, and at least a Level 15 Warrior.


    To the east side of the district is the most expansive, manor-like super-large detached villa, with extremely strict security, not just guards on duty, but also combat robots patrolling.


    On an adjacent lawn, there is also a flying vehicle parked.


    Inside the villa''s basement, there is a thousand square meter large Martial Arts Hall, extremely luxurious, with all sorts of technological facilities available, even a sixty-meter ''speed testing runway''.


    In the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    A girl dressed in red exercise gear had her eyes tightly closed.


    "Boom~" Waves of intense heat, resembling dancing flames, kept emerging around her, then condensed behind her back.


    Gradually, behind the girl, the vague form of a flame phoenix tree took shape.


    On the phoenix tree, the phantom of a firebird seemed to circle and dance, elusive and indistinct.


    "This?"


    "My little sister?" The young man in a blue Martial Path suit standing to the side was shockingly watching this scene, "The Burning Body Phoenix Tree, Phoenix Soul Refining."


    "My little sister actually fulfilled the requirements of the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture'' before she turned eighteen," the young man was dumbfounded.


    Even though father had tasked him with checking on her, saying she''d likely awaken someday.


    However, the young man hadn''t quite believed it before he came.


    Because, from a young age.


    Aside from her perseverance in training, his little sister did not compare to himself and his elder brother back then.


    "Father really does see things clearly," the young man muttered to himself.


    Seconds and minutes ticked by.


    The young man patiently waited.


    His little sister meeting the requirements for cultivating the "Nirvana Divine Scripture" meant a guaranteed smooth future, and as her brother, he naturally felt joy.


    Another quarter of an hour passed.


    The swathes of red light gradually merged into Lin Lanyue''s body, causing her expressions to show slight pain, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.


    Lin Lanyue could clearly feel an astonishing transformation taking place inside her body.


    It was like a leap in life level.


    Finally, everything calmed down.```


    ```


    "Huh!" Lin Lanyue gradually returned to normal, only her skin had become more rosy, and a faint flame mark appeared on her forehead.


    As the flame mark slowly merged into her forehead, she also opened her eyes.


    "Me? My physical quality." Lin Lanyue gently clenched her fists, feeling the significant transformation of her body, and couldn''t help but look towards the young man in the distance, "Second brother?"


    "Your physical quality was already at 9.6 levels before; now, it must have surpassed 10.0 levels, reaching the threshold requirement for an Entry Rank Martial Artist," the young man said with a smile.


    "Improvement this fast? Won''t it affect my future?" Lin Lanyue hesitated.


    She knew that many treasures that quickly enhance one''s strength in a short period could actually consume one''s life potential, limiting future achievements.


    "No."


    "What you took was the ''Crimson Sky Fire Marrow Crystal'' that mother had someone send from Feixing, along with the ''Solar Phoenix Bloodstone'' that father helped you refine into your body a few years ago. They perfectly complement each other," the young man said with a smile: "Their main function is to promote a second awakening of your Spiritual Nature."


    "In fact, most of the power of these two treasures has not yet been unleashed. As you continue to practice in the future, they will naturally exert their effects gradually."


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    All this time, she seldom took basic qi and blood potions and other auxiliary cultivation drugs.


    But as her body matured completely, the speed of improvement in her physical quality became faster and faster.


    The most important reason was the foundation-building treasure left inside her by her father.


    "Second brother, did I just succeed?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help asking.


    "Yes," he said.


    The young man expressed his feelings: "Just as father predicted, you have met the requirements to practice the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture''."


    "I really don''t get it."


    "Both big brother and I attempted a second awakening of Spiritual Nature and failed. We could only continue practicing the ''Blazing Flame Burning Cultivation Method,'' and even now, we are still 29th level Prime Warriors." The young man shook his head with a wry smile: "If mother knew that you had met the requirements to practice the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture,'' she''d be very happy."


    "Mother?" Lin Lanyue''s eyes dimmed; she hadn''t seen her mother for many years.


    Father and big brother were also busy.


    Only the second brother would occasionally come to see her.


    "What about father? Why didn''t he come today?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help asking.


    "He went to the Rob Sea," the young man said solemnly: "The situation there is intense. The country conjectures that with the aliens being so aggressive, the likelihood of the Rob Sea Star Realm''s entrance expanding into a ''Third Level Star Realm'' is very high."


    Third Level Star Realm?


    Lin Lanyue was shocked; she understood what that meant.


    In the whole Blue Star, there were several Second Level Star Realms, but only one Third Level Star Realm had appeared so far.


    Another Third Level Star Realm? And within the territory of Xia Country?


    It would undoubtedly be a disaster.


    "No wonder the country has directly issued a second-level war alert," Lin Lanyue thought to herself.


    "Therefore, the Martial Arts Department has specially communicated with father, requesting him to go there," the young man said. "If it really comes to the most dangerous moment,"


    "Only a strong man like father could prevent the frontline situation from completely collapsing."


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly; she knew her father''s significance to the country.


    "Little sister."


    "You handle this well; I must leave in a bit," the young man smiled: "In the following few months, you''ll need to work harder."


    "Get a good result,"


    "Once the college entrance exam is over, the family''s review team will come," the young man advised.


    "You''ve just arrived, and now you''re leaving?" Lin Lanyue frowned.


    "I''m the boss of the department. With so many people waiting for me, surrounding me, how can I stop completely?" The young man said affectionately as he patted the girl''s head: "Don''t worry, once the matter with the Penglai Star Realm is settled, I''ll come back to see you."


    "If there''s anything, we can also communicate via virtual network."


    "Mm, I got it, don''t worry," Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    She really didn''t want her second brother to leave, but she knew the priorities.

    March 14th, Saturday, 2 PM.


    Guan Mountain District''s first high school.


    While other students were practicing in the Martial Arts Room,


    a vice-principal, Xu Bo, and the senior grade director had brought Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, Gu Qianghan, and ten other students to stand at the sports field, waiting.


    Li Yuan, Gu Qianghan, and the others were carrying bags on their backs.


    "Li Yuan, have you been to Jiangbei Martial University before?" Gu Qianghan asked in a low voice.


    "No," Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University''s campus was over a hundred kilometers away from Jiang City and under strict control.


    "I''ve been there twice, following my sister." Gu Qianghan said with a smile: "She has a lifetime pass and can take someone with her."


    "Oh?" Li Yuan looked at Lin Lanyue, who was closing her eyes and resting, with some surprise.


    He knew Lin Lanyue''s family was well-off, but to have a permanent pass to Jiangbei Martial University?


    "Here it comes." Xu Bo suddenly spoke up, looking up at the sky.


    Whoosh!


    A large flying vehicle that resembled an airship rapidly descended from the high sky, then quickly slowed down and gently landed on the school sports field.


    This was a colossal object, more than seventy meters long and over twenty meters high.


    Its surface was streamlined, emitting a faint blue light.


    Very beautiful.


    "A second-level flying vessel, RB9 type, commonly used for short-distance passenger transport," Gu Qianghan recognized it immediately and muttered: "As expected of Jiangbei Martial University, so lavish."


    Second-level flying vessel? Li Yuan was secretly amazed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, all of Blue Star''s flying vessels were categorized as ordinary, first rank, second rank, third rank... The standards hinged mainly on flight speed and protective capacity, with each rank divided into various types based on usage.


    For example, a second-rank flying vessel, once sealed, could withstand attacks from a second-rank Prime Warrior from startup to full acceleration without damage.


    Flight speed? When cruising at full speed, it was at least supersonic, and several times the speed of sound was not surprising.


    Hum~ The hatch slowly opened.


    "Prepare to board," Xu Bo said in a low voice.


    ```

 Chapter 64: 62 Provisionally Listed as A-level

    Click¡ªthe hatch opened fully, its automatic locking mechanism engaging to prevent it from closing abruptly.


    Then, a staircase slowly descended from the hatch, landing steadily on the playground.


    A middle-aged man dressed in a black Martial Path uniform, along with a young man in a suit, appeared at the hatch, following the steps down.


    "You must be Professor Ming, what a pleasure to meet you," the vice-chancellor said, extending his hand.


    The man in the Martial Path uniform offered a polite smile: "Hello."


    Afterward, the middle-aged man''s gaze shifted to Xu Bo standing beside him: "Xu Bo, long time no see."


    "Senior Ming," Xu Bo said with a hint of respect, "I didn''t expect you to come."


    Xu Bo was well aware of the middle-aged man''s prowess. Though he appeared to be under forty, he was actually in his eighties¡ªa powerful Prime Warrior.


    He was a very famous professor at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, with students all over the province and a high reputation within it.


    Xu Bo had met him once before.


    Martial Artists have exceptionally strong memories; once they meet someone, they rarely forget.


    "Ha-ha, why couldn''t I come?" Senior Ming asked with a smile, "I didn''t come just to see you, but to take a look at the future young talents of Jiangbei Province."


    The two conversed as though good friends. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "These must be the youngsters your school selected this year," Senior Ming''s gaze fell on Li Yuan and others, his eyes flashing briefly.


    Boom! Boom!


    As his gaze swept over them, Li Yuan instantly felt an overpowering pressure hit him, causing his heart to skip a beat.


    It was like a normal person walking in the wild suddenly discovering a white-foreheaded tiger crouched three meters away, staring intently at them.


    It was terrifying!


    Fortunately, Li Yuan''s spiritual power had already reached level 15, and day and night within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, his will had been tempered by the scorching sun to be incredibly resilient.


    He did not show any discomfort!


    In contrast, among the other nine students, aside from Lin Lanyue and Gu Qianghan, everyone else instinctively stepped back two paces.


    Even two of the students let out an involuntary cry before realizing there was nothing to fear, and hung their heads in shame.


    "Psychic pressure, huh?" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    When he had read "Basics of Martial Path," the book mentioned that beings with strong blood energy, powerful spiritual power, and astonishing will would naturally form a biological magnetic field around them, exerting pressure on weaker life forms nearby.


    This was commonly referred to as ''presence.''


    "Not bad, all of you are fine seedlings," Senior Ming said, his aura returning to normal with a smile.


    "You flatter them, Senior Ming," the vice-chancellor responded politely.


    Whoosh!


    Senior Ming took a step and, like a phantom, moved over ten meters to stand before Lin Lanyue.


    Immediately, everyone''s attention shifted to them.


    "Senior Ming," Lin Lanyue said with considerable respect.


    "Lin Lanyue?" Senior Ming''s voice became gentle: "It seems the Lin Family is about to produce another outstanding heroine."


    "You know me, Senior?" Lin Lanyue sounded a bit surprised.


    "I do," Senior Ming said with a smile: "Years ago, I collaborated with your father. I have great respect for him."


    The surrounding crowd was shocked, staring at Lin Lanyue, as they realized her father must be quite remarkable.


    "Senior Ming is this friendly with her?" The vice-chancellor and the grade advisor were both surprised


    Indeed, they did not know the true lineage of Lin Lanyue.


    The ''family information'' Lin Lanyue shared with others was optimized.


    "Thank you, Senior Ming," Lin Lanyue said, neither humbly nor arrogantly.


    "Work hard," Senior Ming said with a smile.


    Then, he turned his attention to Li Yuan standing nearby: "Young student, what is your name?"


    Li Yuan replied with great respect: "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan?" Senior Ming chuckled: "I''ll remember that. Li Yuan, if you don''t choose one of the top five universities for your college entrance exam, Jiangbei Martial University''s ''Warrior Class'' will always welcome you. I''ll keep a special training contract reserved for you."


    "What?" Everyone around was taken aback.


    "Li Yuan is that strong?" Gu Qianghan looked curiously at Li Yuan.


    The other students were equally shocked.


    The quota for Jiangbei Martial Arts University''s Warrior Class? Most of the students present didn''t care.


    After all, as top ten in their grade, they were aiming for the top five universities.


    But to have a special training contract reserved especially for him?


    It meant that Senior Ming had high hopes for Li Yuan, recognizing his immense potential, far surpassing the other students present.


    "Li Yuan scored lower than us in the January mock exams."


    "He is favored over us?"


    "Could it be that Li Yuan''s strength surpasses ours by far?" A few students exchanged glances, confused but not daring to express it.


    "A special training contract reserved for me?" Li Yuan was also bewildered.


    Senior Ming saw so much in him?


    Could it be that, like Hall Master Wan, he had sensed something special in his spiritual power?


    "Li Yuan, aren''t you going to thank Senior Ming?" Xu Bo urged in a low voice.


    "Thank you for your generosity, Senior," Li Yuan promptly replied with respect.


    "Ha-ha, no need to be so formal," Senior Ming laughed and then addressed all the students: "I know you all are aiming for the top five universities, but consider Jiangbei Martial University as a fallback."


    "Moreover, this event is being observed by representatives from the top five universities."


    "I hope that everyone will make the most out of these five days."


    "Alright, board the flyer."


    ...


    They watched the flyer take off.


    "Teacher Xu," the vice-chancellor couldn''t help but ask: "Do you know who Lin Lanyue''s father is?"


    "Not sure," Xu Bo shook his head.


    "What about Li Yuan?" the grade advisor inquired with curiosity: "Based on grades, even without the extras, isn''t Li Yuan behind Lin Lanyue? Why does Senior Ming favor him alone?"


    "I guess he wants to take Li Yuan as his godson," Xu Bo said with a smile.


    ```


    Grade Director: "..."


    ...


    Inside the aircraft, apart from senior Teacher Xu and a few other teachers from Jiangbei Martial Arts University, there were already more than ten students sitting.


    Looking at the school badges, they all came from other schools in Guan Mountain District.


    "Looks like they''re from First High School."


    "They have so many people, and our school only got two slots."


    "Stop complaining. The tenth place from their school is probably stronger than our first place."


    Students from other schools whispered among themselves.


    "Take your seats in order of your number and fasten your seat belts," instructed the young man in a suit.


    Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan, and Gu Qianghan sat in two rows facing each other according to their grades.


    Li Yuan, who ranked sixth overall in his grade, happened to sit opposite Lin Lanyue.


    "Thanks for yesterday," Li Yuan said to Lin Lanyue in a low voice.


    "It was nothing," Lin Lanyue nodded.


    Curiosity got the better of Gu Qianghan: "Sis, what happened with you and Li Yuan yesterday?"


    "Sit down and shut up," Lin Lanyue replied coldly.


    Gu Qianghan dared not ask any further.


    "Li Yuan, have you awakened your Martial Spirit?" asked the short-haired, bulky young man sitting in the middle, looking at Li Yuan with curiosity and an underlying competitive spirit.


    The other classmates also looked at Li Yuan curiously.


    They all remembered the scene from earlier; Teacher Xu''s attitude towards Li Yuan was distinctly different.


    "No," shook Li Yuan''s head.


    "You haven''t awakened?" The short-haired, bulky young man was confused: "But what about Teacher Xu earlier?"


    "I don''t know," Li Yuan shook his head.


    The short-haired, bulky young man frowned and was about to continue questioning.


    "Dong Haifeng," Lin Lanyue suddenly said coldly, "Hasn''t anyone taught you? Don''t pry into others'' privacy."


    "Lanyue, you?" Dong Haifeng''s expression slightly changed.


    "Lanyue is what you call her?" Gu Qianghan, sitting beside her, was unhappy: "Call her by her full name."


    Dong Haifeng was taken aback. He turned to look at Lin Lanyue, who was sitting by the window and had closed her eyes, clearly unwilling to deal with him.


    "Understood," Dong Haifeng muttered.


    Immediately, Dong Haifeng''s gaze swept over Li Yuan, and a subtle hint of disgust flashed through his eyes.


    But he said no more.


    When you dislike someone, there''s no need for words.


    "Dong Haifeng?" Li Yuan, with his strong spiritual power, sensed the change in the latter''s emotions.


    Dong Haifeng, who often ranked in the top three of his grade in Martial Arts, was not much different from Gu Qianghan.


    Li Yuan did not know why the other held a dislike towards him, but he did not care.


    "I''m not Blue Star Coins; how can everyone like me?" Li Yuan shook his head lightly: "Even if I were Blue Star Coins, some still call them ''the root of all evil''."


    ...


    At the core area of Jiangbei Martial Arts University was a massive steel War Fortress, towering over three hundred meters high and brimming with a sense of technology.


    From a distance, it looked like a sci-fi city made of steel.


    Inside the steel city, in a small conference room, more than ten men and women dressed in uniform sat in a circle.


    The badges on their chests bore the uniform emblem of an imposing mountain.


    "The students invited to the event will arrive at the school this afternoon."


    "These eighty-eight students are the primary targets of our recruitment mission, and we aim to persuade them to apply to Kunlun Martial Arts University," declared the bald, burly middle-aged man at the head of the table, his voice sonorous: "You''ve all quickly reviewed the information, and the corresponding targets have been allocated to you."


    "S-grade targets, three."


    "A-grade targets, thirteen."


    "B-grade targets, seventy-two."


    "Prepare detailed scouting reports. Immediately interview and sign contracts with those confirmed to meet B-grade standards. Understood?" the bald man asked in a deep voice.


    "Understood," the group responded in unison.


    "Any additions?" the bald man asked.


    "President Li," a soothing voice suddenly spoke up: "I would like to add another candidate for scouting."


    Swish! Swish! Everyone turned to look all at once.


    "Professor Fan?" the bald man turned to look.


    The speaker was an unassuming elderly man in his sixties, known as Professor Fan Jin from Kunlun Martial Arts University''s ''Eight Institutes''.


    "Who?" inquired the bald man.


    "Li Yuan," Professor Fan Jin answered.


    "Li Yuan?" The bald man pondered: "Student Li Yuan from the First High School of Guan Mountain District?"


    "Yes," nodded Professor Fan Jin.


    "His Martial Arts Skills are not bad, fitting the A-grade standard, but his other aspects are average, which overall do not meet the B-grade standard," the bald man directly shook his head.


    He had memorized the information of thousands of students participating in the recruitment event.


    "The material is incomplete," Professor Fan Jin stated: "I''ll add two points."


    "First, his skills are top-notch, having entered the top one thousand of the Blue Star youth rankings. In terms of skills, he meets the baseline of the S-grade standard."


    "Second, he has an extremely strong talent for spiritual power, comparable to a 15th-level Martial Artist," Professor Fan Jin said.


    Surprise showed on the faces of the seated teachers.


    "Is this information reliable?" the bald man''s eyes brightened as he pressed for confirmation.


    "Reliable. As of last October, he has already signed a B-grade contract with Starfire Martial Hall," Professor Fan Jin assured.


    "Good, temporarily listed as A-grade, a key target for scouting," the bald man decided, looking at Professor Fan Jin: "Professor Fan, you will take charge."


    "In five days, I want to see a detailed scouting report on him."

 Chapter 65: 63 Jiangbei Martial Arts University

    The aircraft took off and landed along the way.


    After picking up students from over ten schools, there were more than fifty students sitting inside.


    Finally, the aircraft started to accelerate, shooting straight into the clouds.


    From the city area to the Jiangbei Martial Arts University campus, it was only over a hundred kilometers, and the Second Rank aircraft reached its destination in just a few minutes at full speed.


    It descended slowly.


    At four o''clock in the afternoon, the cabin door opened, and over fifty students followed Teacher Ming and others in disembarking the aircraft one by one.


    This was a large airport.


    Around the runway, there were already up to a hundred aircraft parked, with most looking similar to the one Li Yuan and his peers were on.


    Apart from the terminal building, not far away, there was a very special metallic high-rise, under which hundreds of students were standing densely packed.


    In the distant horizon.


    Lay a huge War Fortress, hundreds of meters tall and occupying a vast area.


    "War Fortress?" Many students couldn''t help but exclaim in surprise.


    Li Yuan also looked over, unable to help himself.


    In the city area, aside from a few special buildings, most did not exceed twelve stories.


    But the distant, massive War Fortress, with its smooth contour lines, was filled with geometric aesthetics and a stern technological texture.


    The outer layer of the fortress seemed to also use a reflective material, shimmering with the changing light. One could vaguely see dense laser turrets, electromagnetic towers, and numerous unmanned drone launch platforms.


    With just one glance,


    Li Yuan thought of the ''Number Three Base'' located in the Rob Sea Star Realm, towering a kilometer high, that he had seen in videos ¡ª the two were very similar.


    But watching in a video and seeing it in person conveyed completely different levels of impact.


    "Jiangbei Martial Arts University''s War Fortress is rarely seen in photos online," Li Yuan thought to himself. "But why is there a War Fortress inside the university?"


    "Everyone, look over here,"


    "Let me introduce to you," the suit-clad man leading the group said with a smile. "The War Fortress you see in the distance is classified as a Second Rank War Fortress by the Seven Star Alliance, and it is the main teaching building of our Jiangbei Martial Arts University."


    "At the same time, it is also a military base, so during the entire event period, photography is prohibited on campus, which I''m sure everyone understands," he continued.


    The main teaching building? A military base?


    Located in the same place? Many students were confused.


    "You all are soon to become students at the Martial Arts University, and you need to start changing your mindset," the young man in the suit said with a smile. "Ordinary university students are still common people, just like countless other civilians, and they are under protection."


    "But students at the Martial Arts University are not common people."


    "Each Martial Arts University, in fact, is a gathering place for top martial artists to teach and invest massive resources."


    "Each student at the Martial Arts University is a reserve military officer. Why does the nation invest so much in Martial Arts Universities?" the young man in the suit asked with a smile.


    "To kill enemies, protect the nation!" some students said instinctively.


    This was the education and guidance they had received from childhood.


    "Right, in a crucial moment," the man in the suit said solemnly, "any student from the Martial Arts University must unconditionally comply with military conscription."


    Students like Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue all became solemn, listening attentively.


    Every student aspiring to become a Martial Artist was aware


    that upon entering a Martial Arts University, one must sign a ''Conscription Contract,'' which meant becoming a reserve military officer.


    A Martial Artist signifies not only powerful strength and extremely high social status but also the responsibility of guarding human civilization.


    Martial Artists, tasked with killing enemies and protecting the nation, have an inescapable duty.


    If one does not have such conviction and mental preparation,


    then there is no need to apply to the Martial Arts University, and one might as well remain an ordinary person.


    "Similarly, whether it is one of the top five universities or the Martial Arts Universities in each province, the locations are carefully chosen," the man in the suit added with a laugh. "In the future, you all will understand."


    "Now, look over here again." Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The metal tower nearby is an Electromagnetic Tower, considered an extremely high-end core of land arsenals, and it is part of the peripheral defense of the entire War Fortress," the man in the suit continued to explain. "Our city has many Martial Artists and is also staffed by the military, making it very safe."


    "But here we are sparsely populated, and aircraft often take off and land, which can easily attract the attention of flying Star Realm Creatures. Therefore, an Electromagnetic Weapon Tower has been specially built next to the terminal building."


    "Any flying Star Realm Creatures that dare to appear or approach within tens of kilometers will be directly killed by the electromagnetic cannons inside the Electromagnetic Tower," the man in the suit explained. "To reduce energy consumption, it is currently in a hidden state."


    "If fully activated, there would be hundreds of electromagnetic cannons," the man in the suit said with a smile.


    Listening, many students were quite shocked, as they had rarely seen such war weapons while living in the city.


    "Let''s go,"


    "Come over here to gather; most people have already arrived," the man in the suit led everyone to gather under the Electromagnetic Tower.


    In fact,


    the hundreds of students who had originally been waiting under the tower could not help but look over.


    "Seems like they''re from Jiang City again."


    "So many people, this is the third batch already."


    "Jiang City really gets a lot of slots."


    "What do you mean Jiang City gets a lot of slots? That''s because our city has good results. College entrance exams look at scores; over a third of the students admitted to Jiangbei Martial Arts University are from Jiang City," someone retorted.


    "Heh, I''m going to see, is Jiang City really that great?"


    "Not a single one who''s handsome," students from all over Jiangbei Province whispered among themselves.


    All who were invited were elite students from around the province.


    They were mostly big names at their respective schools, with many being perennial top students, and naturally carried a bit of arrogance.


    Drawing close, the dozens of students from Guan Mountain District, with Lin Lanyue and Li Yuan at the core, started to come over.


    There was no way around it, the most numerous and prestigious students at Guan Mountain District''s Number One High School were Lin Lanyue and Li Yuan.


    Walking beside Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue suddenly whispered, "Li Yuan, take a look at the boy over there playing with his smart ring, his name is Tian Dazhuang, remember him."


    "Tian Dazhuang?" Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.


    Such an unusual name.


    He looked over and saw a person with unremarkable appearance, short and stocky limbs, someone who would be absolutely unnoticed in a crowd.


    "What about him?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "He comes from the mountainous region of Shi Zhou," Lin Lanyue said softly. "His family is very poor, but in the January examinations, he scored full marks in Martial Arts Skills."


    "Full marks?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised and couldn''t help but give another look to the youth named Tian Dazhuang.


    His Martial Arts Skills are that impressive?


    "And that girl in white clothes, she''s from Xiangzhou," Lin Lanyue continued softly. "Her name is Wang Yu, she also scored full marks in Martial Arts Skills in the January examinations."


    "Wang Yu?" Li Yuan also made a mental note.


    The girl named Wang Yu, dressed in a tight Martial Arts uniform, had a great figure, but her appearance was ordinary, not nearly as striking as Lin Lanyue.


    "Any others?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "You think full marks in Martial Arts Skills are as common as cabbages? The last one is Wu Dongdong from the city district, he hasn''t arrived yet," Lin Lanyue said with a shake of her head and a chuckle. "But several months have passed since the January examinations, so I wouldn''t rule out someone else making a breakthrough."


    Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Someone else made a breakthrough? Unfortunately, that would be me.


    "Remember them, are we going to fight against them?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Didn''t you look at the schedule?" Lin Lanyue glanced at Li Yuan. "There''s a Martial Arts Skills assessment tonight, did you think it would be an isolated test like the college entrance exam?"


    "Is it not?" Li Yuan wondered.


    He had looked at the schedule.


    But the schedule didn''t offer detailed explanations for each item.


    "A free-for-all battle, the last one standing wins," Lin Lanyue uttered eight words.


    Li Yuan''s pupils contracted slightly; this was one type of competition mode from the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Very brutal.


    "Try to avoid those top experts as much as possible, if you can survive until the end of a fight, the observers from the five famous schools will definitely have a higher opinion of you," Lin Lanyue said in a low voice. "For the universities, they''re not just looking at scores, but more at combat experience."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If one lacks absolute strength advantage but still emerges victorious in the melee, it''s enough to prove one''s combat capability.


    After all, combat isn''t about comparing scores. Even someone strong can still lose to someone weaker.


    Therefore, knowing the strengths of others in advance is very important.


    "There are about ten others with Martial Arts Skills scores over 380 points; they all might make a breakthrough. I''ll point them out to you, and you remember," Lin Lanyue pointed each one out to Li Yuan, naming them and their scores.


    With Li Yuan''s spiritual power, remembering a dozen people in a short amount of time wasn''t difficult.


    After memorizing them all, Li Yuan asked in a low voice, "Why are you helping me?"


    The January examination results from each city were not made public. It''s not easy searching them out one by one.


    Most importantly, getting a hold of these people''s appearances and then remembering them is incredibly difficult.


    A normal 12th-grade student, who would go out of their way to pay attention to the results from other districts? And remember the faces on top of that?


    Even for their own city, it''s impressive enough just to remember the first-place student.


    "Friends help each other," Lin Lanyue said with a faint smile. "I also hope you can help me during the combat assessment."


    Li Yuan smiled too, help Lin Lanyue?


    When he saw the special treatment from Senior Ming on the school''s sport field, Li Yuan had used ''Inquiry'' on Lin Lanyue and confirmed that her Physical Quality had reached an astonishing 10.1 level.


    This was already beyond the full score standard for Physical Quality in the college entrance exam.


    But Li Yuan didn''t reveal this.


    "Alright, mutual assistance," Li Yuan replied.


    He vaguely felt that from yesterday to today, his relationship with Lin Lanyue indeed seemed more like that of normal friends.


    Furthermore, Li Yuan was truly grateful to her.


    This information had come at the perfect time.


    With his Spear Technique just breaking through to the Fourth Level, he might not be able to win if he really faced Tian Dazhuang or Wang Yu.


    Li Yuan continued chatting with Lin Lanyue.


    Not far away, other students looked on by themselves.


    Suddenly.


    Another aircraft arrived, dropping off dozens of students.


    "Here they come, from our Jiang City district," Lin Lanyue suddenly said.


    Li Yuan was taken aback; he couldn''t tell at all.


    Leading the team was a ponytailed girl hopping and skipping around, looking around curiously.


    "Gu Qiang, your good friend has arrived," Lin Lanyue turned her head to look at Gu Qianghan, who was bragging to a girl.


    "Good friend? Who?" Gu Qianghan turned his head, and his pupils shrank. "Crap, that little lunatic."


    He started to run.


    But it was too late.


    Whoosh! In a flash, the ponytailed girl appeared in front of Gu Qianghan and said cheerfully, "Little Qiang, long time no see."


    "Dongdong, it has been a long time, you''ve gotten prettier," Gu Qianghan forced a smile.

 Chapter 66: 64: Chaos in the Cage, The Goal is to be First

    "You just now, you wanted to run as soon as you saw me?" the ponytailed girl stared at Gu Qiang.


    "No, I just wanted to use the restroom," Gu Qiang hurriedly shook his head.


    "Really?" the ponytailed girl eyed him with doubt.


    "Really," Gu Qiang asserted with confidence.


    "Then why aren''t you going anymore?" the ponytailed girl glared at Gu Qiang.


    "Seeing you, I no longer feel the need to go to the restroom," Gu Qiang blurted out.


    "Bullshit, if you want to run just say it. Anyway, when I want to beat you up, you can''t run away," the ponytailed girl huffed.


    The pretty girl beside them had already started to laugh.


    Gu Qiang''s face was almost green; just moments ago, he''d been boasting to her about how tough he was.


    "I''m not dealing with you anymore." The ponytailed girl flipped her hair and then her gaze fell upon Lin Lanyue not far away, her eyes lit up, and she jumped over: "Yue Yue sis."


    "Dongdong, long time no see." Lin Lanyue smiled and opened her arms to embrace the ponytailed girl.


    Lin Lanyue was half a head taller than the ponytailed girl, looking just like an older sister hugging her younger sister.


    Li Yuan watched the two from the side.


    After letting go of Lin Lanyue, the ponytailed girl curiously looked at Li Yuan and hesitated, "Are you Li Yuan?"


    "Mm-hmm." Li Yuan nodded.


    "You''re handsomer than how Yue Yue sis described you." The ponytailed girl showed her little tiger teeth and extended her hand, "Hello, my name is Wu Dongdong."


    "Wu Dongdong?" Li Yuan looked at the ponytailed girl.


    "She''s Wu Dongdong." Lin Lanyue smiled at Li Yuan, "Yuan Yue test, first in Jiang City, don''t be deceived by her appearance."


    "Mm-hmm." Li Yuan nodded lightly, still feeling somewhat surreal.


    Martial Arts Skills, Physical Quality high school exam double full score.


    A Martial Arts genius that is hard to come by in the entire Jiangbei Province in a year, looking at the whole world, probably at the top among her peers, it''s hard to associate with the ponytailed girl in front of him.


    "Yue Yue sis said you have excellent Martial Arts Skills, not many can impress Yue Yue sis." The ponytailed girl looked at Li Yuan, extending her smart ring, "Come on, add me on V, we can spar on the Combat Network later."


    "Sure." Li Yuan smiled and added her as a friend.


    Li Yuan could tell, Wu Dongdong was naive, incredibly talented, and well-acquainted with Lin Lanyue; her background must be quite significant.


    "Dongdong, sparring on the Combat Network is fine," Lin Lanyue whispered, "But later during the skills assessment, in the melee, if you come across Li Yuan..."


    "Understood." Wu Dongdong nodded like a pecking hen, "If I encounter Yue Yue sis and Li Yuan, I''ll first take out the others, then we can have a one-on-one at the end."


    "What if you come across me?" Gu Qiang edged forward, full of anticipation.


    "I''ll take you down first."


    ...


    Time passed, and after a quarter of an hour, aircrafts arrived one after another.


    At four o''clock in the afternoon, everyone finally arrived.


    Immediately after, Professor Ming delivered a stirring speech, and lastly announced the start of the invitation to visit.


    Then, everyone received their campus ID cards.


    The first item¡ªcampus tour.


    ...


    Li Yuan had to admit.


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University was indeed super large, far surpassing the area of ordinary universities.


    They took a sightseeing car for a cursory visit, and it took an hour to go around the main campus once.


    And that didn''t even include touring inside each teaching building.


    "So you see, Li Yuan, students at Martial Arts University mostly run when they''re in a hurry," Gu Qiang pointed to the students running furiously on both sides of the road, "Inside Martial Arts University, students are not allowed to ride bicycles."


    Li Yuan looked around.


    Indeed!


    There were very few leisurely strolling students; most were either jogging or sprinting.


    Before, Li Yuan had only heard of this from the internet, but this was his first time seeing it.


    Things like in ordinary universities, where boys and girls enjoy romantic walk under the moonlight, casual talks on the grass, exploration of the mysteries of human bodies in the woods... were even rarer.


    After a quick tour of Jiangbei Martial Arts University, Li Yuan''s impression could be summarized in four words: "Big! Fast!"


    ...


    After the tour, it was time to eat.


    "Ten Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan looked at the lavish nutritious meal on the table and was somewhat surprised.


    Outside, it would cost at least two hundred Blue Star Coins


    "This ten coins is also to prevent waste, it''s essentially issued by the school," Gu Qiang laughed beside him, "Students at Martial Arts University receive subsidies on their campus card each month, you can''t even finish it normally, in reality, room and board are free, with additional subsidies¡­ Of course, supplementary Cultivation Resources are limited."


    "Each month, there''s a ranking, the higher you rank, the more Cultivation Resources you get."


    Li Yuan ate while listening to Gu Qiang''s explanations.


    It was clear, Gu Qiang knew a lot about Martial Arts University.


    "The welfare and benefits at Jiangbei Martial Arts University are already like this, what if one gets into one of the top five famous schools?" Li Yuan''s resolve grew the more he understood, "I must get in."


    "And strive to reach the core tier."


    Getting into one of the top five famous schools could completely alleviate his aunt and uncle''s financial pressure.


    "Uncle?" Li Yuan thought of the war in the Rob Sea Star Realm, his expression dimming momentarily, and he lowered his head to continue eating.


    Wu Dongdong suddenly slapped the table and muttered, "I''m going to get another portion."


    After that, she got up and dashed out.


    "She eats that fast?" Li Yuan was shocked.


    He had only eaten half.


    "You''re comparing eating speed with her?" Gu Qiang looked at Li Yuan with a strange look, "Li Yuan, that''s her Domain."


    Li Yuan laughed.


    Turns out, this Wu Dongdong was a foodie.


    Within ten minutes, Wu Dongdong grabbed four large portions of nourishing meals, and devoured them all.


    Li Yuan prided himself on being a big eater, but he had to admit defeat.


    "Li Yuan, Dongdong''s physical talent is very special," Lin Lanyue said, "Her digestive speed... is incomparable to ordinary people."


    ```


    "In addition to her regular practice of high-rank cultivation methods, she also consumes two Essence Pills of Origin Power every month," Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    "Impressive," Li Yuan sincerely remarked.


    When it comes to physical cultivation, growth normally has its limits.


    For martial artists, being able to eat and digest quickly is a remarkable talent, ensuring rapid physical development.


    "Indeed."


    "At school, it feels like I''m in a small pond. Apart from Lin Lanyue, nobody is my match," Li Yuan put down his chopsticks, his peripheral vision unintentionally sweeping over Wu Dongdong, who was still diligently focusing on his meal.


    At a distance, all were students. Li Yuan had tried to use Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Each one had a Physical Quality of over level 8.


    "Participating in this event, and seeing the best high school seniors from the entire province, makes me recognize my own insufficiencies," Li Yuan realized one of the purposes of the country holding such invitation events.


    It was to tell them, these students.


    First in the grade? First in the county? High Martial Path talent?


    Even if you are one in a thousand talents, just in Jiangbei Province, a year will produce over a thousand such talents.


    And what if you look at Xia Country? Or the whole world?


    Or even the entire human civilization? How many martial arts prodigies will emerge in a year?


    "One step at a time."


    "From middle school till now, I''ve worked desperately hard to have the chance to attend this invitation event today," Li Yuan''s eyes were full of longing: "This time, I must seize the opportunity."


    ...


    Eight at night.


    All visiting students, carrying their student cards, entered the accommodations arranged by Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    "A large flat?"


    Many ''impoverished students'' like Li Yuan were a bit shocked.


    "Normally, two students share one Martial Arts Room, with an area of over eight hundred square meters, including the martial arts room, bedroom, therapy room, dining room... someone comes regularly to take care of it," the leading third-year student said with a smile: "Each semester, the top 20% of elite students in the assessment get an independent Martial Arts Room..."


    "Students in the top 5% of the Martial Arts Class get a detached villa, not including the garden, with a total area of 1200 square meters."


    "This time you are here to compete, so you''ll be sharing a room with one other, don''t feel slighted," this third-year student said with a smile.


    At last, Li Yuan and the others understood why the Martial Arts University covered such a vast area. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just the dormitory area alone was astonishingly large.


    "No wonder the number of martial artist student slots from the country has always been limited," Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "Not counting cultivation resources, just the accommodations alone are consuming enormous resources."


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University consistently accommodates about fifty thousand students a year, not including teachers and support staff.


    The Martial Arts University is a five-year program.


    Those who enjoy more resources also bear greater responsibilities.


    ...Male and female students stay in separate accommodations.


    Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan were assigned to the same room.


    After setting down their backpacks, they immediately sat down in the virtual network pods in the lounge.


    Consciousness connected.


    "Just like what that senior student said, after entering our campus card information, we can temporarily enter the space of Jiangbei Martial Arts University''s campus," Li Yuan said with a proud smile.


    With a thought, he entered.


    ...Shh! Shh! Shh! One figure after another appeared out of thin air, taking their seats.


    This was a colossal battle space.


    Quickly, close to a thousand people had appeared on the vast circular Spectator Platform, bustling with excitement.


    In the center was a circular arena over 200 meters in diameter.


    "Li Yuan." A clear voice rang out; it was Lin Lanyue with her dyed red hair sitting next to him.


    The others who had appeared were also students from Guan Mountain District.


    Obviously, the system tried to arrange for students from the same school and district to sit together as much as possible.


    "You''re pretty early," Li Yuan said with a smile, and then his gaze swept around: "Do you know the fighting rules? Is it by number order, or random?"


    "It should be a pseudo-random selection," Lin Lanyue said.


    "Pseudo-random?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "It''s to make an effort to separate students from the same school or same county district, to avoid people teaming up and to ensure fairness," Lin Lanyue explained with a smile: "For example, if by complete random selection, our school''s ten students were chosen for the same battle, wouldn''t we team up to take out the others first?"


    Li Yuan understood.


    Two minutes later, the consciousness of over a thousand students participating in this invitation event had descended upon this arena space.


    All the students knew that the first real test of this invitation event was about to begin.


    "Good evening to all the students from across the province," a deep voice said.


    Shh!


    A nearly two-meter-tall man in black martial attire appeared above the arena, standing in mid-air with an impressive aura.


    "Let me repeat the rules again," his voice naturally amplified, echoing throughout the venue.


    "Cage melee."


    "Each round, 200 people will be randomly chosen to enter the arena to battle, with a total of 6 rounds," the man in black said in a deep voice: "During the fight, you continuously attack; the more enemies you kill and the longer you survive, the higher your score."


    "Until ultimately, only one person remains."


    "Your virtual bodies will all have the same physical quality, which is level 10.0."


    "This is an assessment of your martial arts skills."


    "In each round, rank 2 to 9 will be rewarded with a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins."


    "The top scorer in each round will receive five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins!" the man in black proclaimed robustly, reverberating across the entire battle space.


    Li Yuan''s eyes immediately lit up.


    "Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan''s gaze sharpened.


    With his uncle''s life and death unknown, Li Yuan had long since resolved that in the worst-case scenario, he must be able to support his family.


    What is responsibility after all?


    Firstly, it''s about earning money.


    Not just for his own cultivation but also to afford the education his younger brother and sister need.


    "My goal is to be first," Li Yuan decided, his eyes filled with desire: "No one can stand in my way!"


    ```

 Chapter 67: 65: Elite? Just Enough for One Slash!

    "One hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?"


    Sitting in the lower rows, G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n''s eyes shone as he turned around and said, "Sis, if you get it and share half with me, or I get it and share half with you, how about that?"


    "That''s enough for my pocket money for half a year," G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n said, looking at Lin Lanyue with anticipation.


    Lin Lanyue glanced at G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n. "Do you think you can get it?"


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n was taken aback.


    "Li Yuan, with your spear technique skills, you might have a chance at the top ten, but remember not to be reckless," Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan. "Surviving longer scores higher than killing more enemies."


    "Mhm," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The top ten?


    "Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins," Wu Dongdong sitting in the back rows was also extremely excited, waving his hand as he shouted, "Yue Yue sis, plus the hundreds of thousands of pocket money I''ve saved up, it''s enough to buy that flying motorcycle I showed you last time."


    "Last time, no matter how much I pestered my dad, he wouldn''t buy it for me."


    "I''ve decided, I''m going to get that five hundred thousand and buy it in secret!!!"


    ...


    Not just Li Yuan and his group, the majority of students were tempted by the prize money.


    Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?


    Even one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins, to most senior third-year students, was a considerable sum.


    Especially for students like Li Yuan, whose families were of similar or even lesser means.


    "One hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?"


    "Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?" A student named Tian Dazhuang with average looks had slightly reddened eyes.


    He mumbled to himself, "No wonder before boarding the aircraft, the station chief specially told me that this was a good chance to make money."


    "The first challenge alone is worth five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins."


    "According to the itinerary, could there be more rewards later? Maybe," Tian Dazhuang thought to himself. "Over the years, the state has already rewarded several million Blue Star Coins."


    "In this half year of Body-Mind-Weapon Integration, my physical cultivation has improved much faster, but I still started too late, awakening to my Martial Spirit in my second year of high school, and now my physical quality is only at level 8.5."


    "With my poor physical quality, it''s highly unlikely that I''ll take the first place in actual combat. My skills are my biggest advantage."


    "I''m set on taking the first place in the cage battle." Tian Dazhuang stared silently at the arena.


    He came from a remote mountain area.


    In this era, transportation, water conservancy, and many other facilities in the mountain areas are extremely convenient, with plenty of subsidies for poor families... but the gap between rich and poor is unavoidable.


    Tian Dazhuang, who came from a lower-class family in the mountain area, had elderly grandparents, a severely ill father, a deceased mother, and a younger brother... Starting from middle school, he began to show terrifying talent in Martial Arts Skills.


    After entering high school and awakening to his Martial Spirit, Tian Dazhuang improved even more rapidly.


    The various cash awards from the school and the state increased, and after awakening to his Martial Spirit in his second year of high school, he was directly recruited by the Martial Arts Hall, which truly changed the fate of his family.


    He was a Martial Path genius that the school and even the entire county hadn''t seen in decades.


    He also carried the expectations of many.


    "Fate!"


    "My fate must be in my own hands," Tian Dazhuang''s eyes were filled with longing. "The principal and the station chief care so much about me; I have to achieve something significant."


    His county-level high school was very ordinary, so he was the only one invited this time.


    Many knew his name.


    But recognized his face? Few!


    ...


    "Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?" A girl named Wang Yu had an ardent gaze.


    She didn''t care at all about the gazes of some boys sneaking glances at her.


    Wang Yu was used to these looks.


    "I must get it, so I can change homes for my family sooner," she thought.


    "That way, my parents won''t have to keep squeezing into a small room to rest."


    ...


    Over a thousand students were emotionally stirred, watching the man in black martial attire with great excitement.


    All who were here were pride of the heavens.


    Even though they knew their peers were strong, subconsciously, they were still full of confidence in themselves.


    "Aside from the cash rewards," S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    the host, a man in black attire on the stage, continued to shout excitedly, "Besides that, dozens of observers from the five top schools are already watching you in another Virtual Space."


    "They are looking forward to your performance."


    "For regular students, their college entrance exams are in June," the man in the black martial attire spoke passionately. "But for you elite students."


    "The college entrance exam, starting today, from this very moment, has already begun," the man in black martial attire suddenly threw a punch, trying his best to drive the atmosphere to a climax.


    People are easily swayed.


    Especially the young.


    The higher-ups organized this invitation event, naturally hoping to see the best performance of the participating students.


    "Want to get special training contracts from the top five universities in advance?"


    "Want to receive a large amount of Blue Star Coin rewards?"


    "Want to earn recognition from Martial Arts University quicker after admission and get more cultivation resources?" the man in black martial attire waved his arms, constantly turning to look at different students, roaring excitedly, "Then today, fight with all you''ve got."


    "Ignite your passion and blood, and show your strength to the fullest."


    Moreover,


    throughout the combat space, along with the host''s roar, cheers and shouts started to rise.


    These cheers and shouts did not come from the thousands of students.


    They were sound effects inherent to the combat space, making many students feel their blood boil.


    "I announce, cage battle, last man standing wins."


    "The first round," the man in black armor suddenly gestured, his voice thundering as loudly as if it were thunder booming, "starts now!"


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The first round, randomly selecting two hundred students,


    instantly vanished from their seats.


    "Gu Qiang was chosen," Li Yuan immediately noticed that Gu Qianghan sitting in the front row had disappeared.


    "Tian Dazhuang isn''t there either; was he selected for the first round as well?"


    "And Tan Bing," Li Yuan remembered, among the more than a dozen experts Lin Lanyue and he had mentioned.


    Three big shots were chosen for the first round.


    "It''s pseudo-random, and it''s based on January''s mock exam scores," Lin Lanyue whispered beside him. "Above, they must have grouped according to the skill scores from the January mock exam, then conducted the random selection."


    "Ensure that the strength distribution of each participant in every battle is close to each other."


    Everyone waited patiently.


    ...Thirty seconds later, weapon selection ended.


    "Boom!"


    Accompanied by a massive booming echo.


    Two hundred participants, each wielding weapons and armor, simultaneously appeared at the edge of the arena, forming a vast circle.


    Each person had two opponents next to them, very fair.


    "Hm?"


    Li Yuan''s eyes flickered slightly as he couldn''t help saying, "Next to Tian Dazhuang is Gu Qiang, looks like his luck isn''t good."


    On the stage.


    Gu Qiang held two short axes, looking around as he stretched out one and swung it, provoking Tian Dazhuang, who stood expressionless with a mountain-splitting saber in hand.


    "Gu Qiang, why is he deliberately challenging Tian Dazhuang?" Li Yuan watched in surprise, "Has Gu Qiang''s martial arts skills reached the full score level too?"


    "No, his martial arts skills are just over 350 points, I believe," Lin Lanyue calmly shook her head.


    "Let''s see if he can break through to 360 points before the college entrance exam."


    "Then why is he..." Li Yuan hesitated, "Doesn''t he know about Tian Dazhuang?"


    "I didn''t share the intel with him," Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    Seeing Li Yuan''s puzzled expression.


    Lin Lanyue gently shook her head and said, "He''s different from you, you didn''t know the schedule details and it wasn''t convenient for you to lookup information about others, which is understandable."


    "But him? He has enough resources at his disposal, he could have easily learned about the event''s schedule in advance and gathered information on his opponents, but it seems he didn''t do anything," Lin Lanyue sighed lightly, "If he doesn''t take it seriously himself."


    "Why should I tell him? Better let him learn a lesson," Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    Li Yuan fell silent, feeling somewhat sorry for Gu Qianghan, who was excitedly twisting his body.


    Is this love from a sister?


    Lin Lanyue''s gaze fell on the stage, she didn''t say anything more, there were some things she didn''t want to say directly to Li Yuan.


    This invitation event.


    For martial arts geniuses with ordinary family backgrounds like Li Yuan, Tian Dazhuang, and Wang Yu, it was a rare opportunity.


    But for Lin Lanyue, Wu Dongdong, including Gu Qianghan?


    If they had potential and were willing to work hard, what they lacked the least were these so-called opportunities.


    "Hmm?"


    "Dong Haifeng, he''s also in the first round?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept over and found another schoolmate on the stage.


    ...


    As Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue quickly exchanged words.


    The giant countdown number above the stage had already rapidly dropped from 15 to 3, 2...


    "1."


    "Begin." The black-clad man in the sky above the stage roared out, his whole body instantly flying up thirty meters high to ensure he wouldn''t interfere with any of the contestants.


    The next moment, the cheers in the battle space erupted thunderously.


    On the stage, the 200 participants, originally restricted in movement, suddenly felt they could move freely.


    But, for the moment, no one moved.


    No one wanted to be the first conspicuous target.


    At the same time, all participants could clearly see their own points and place ranking from their field of view.


    This quiet lasted only a second.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Boom!" Someone made a move.


    This action, like a boulder thrown into calm waters, stirred up waves upon waves.


    Other participants all sprang into action.


    The countdown of 15 seconds just now meant everyone had already chosen their first target.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" "Clang!" Instantly, there was a burst of frenzied combat on the stage.


    10.0-level physical quality allowed each participant''s burst speed to reach up to 22 meters per second, with fist strength hitting 1300 kilograms, and wielding bladed weapons, one could imagine how powerful each blow was.


    Now, they were all concentrated in this narrow arena.


    "You little..." Gu Qianghan had barely roared out two words excitedly.


    "Puff~"


    A dazzling flash of a saber fiercely slashed through, and Gu Qianghan''s entire being vanished into nothingness.


    "The first one," Tian Dazhuang murmured to himself as he held a mountain-splitting saber over a meter long, "Continue."


    He never cared about Gu Qianghan''s provocation.


    With his family situation, growing up, what kind of people hadn''t he encountered?


    In his eyes, Gu Qianghan was just a fool, not worth wasting energy to care about.


    "Boom!" Tian Dazhuang moved out several meters with a surge, directly heading to kill a spear expert.


    "Clang!" A ferocious collision of weapons.


    Followed by, a saber slashed like lightning.


    The spear expert was split in two by the fearsome velocity and power of the mountain-splitting saber.


    Blood splattered, turning into nothingness.


    Killed with one blow!


    ...


    "To be eliminated with one move, damn, I''m at the bottom of the ranking!" Gu Qianghan was the first to reappear in his seat.


    "How is it?" Lin Lanyue was looking at Li Yuan next to her.


    Li Yuan was intently watching Tian Dazhuang''s frenzied slaughter on the stage and softly said, "His saber! So fast! Even faster than my spear."


    "It''s definitely a Fourth Level sword technique! And he''s been at the Fourth Level for quite a while," Li Yuan spoke earnestly.


    A hint of respect flashed deep in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Experts always admire other experts.


    "Right."


    Lin Lanyue nodded, "My swordsmanship teacher has commented on Tian Dazhuang''s battle videos."


    "He said that in terms of martial arts skills alone, this Tian Dazhuang should be considered among the top thirty in Blue Star''s youth rankings, perhaps even higher."

 Chapter 68: 66: Li Yuan Makes an Appearance

    "The top thirty in the Blue Star Youth Ranking?" Li Yuan nodded in approval.


    To reach the Fallen Star level, one must at least achieve Body-Mind Unity.


    And once Body-Mind Unity is achieved, Body-Mind-Weapon Integration is no longer a bottleneck and is bound to be successful, the only question being how long it will take.


    According to the data Li Yuan got from the Starry Skies Fighting Network a few days ago, there were already 164 participants who had reached the Fallen Star level on the Blue Star Youth Ranking.


    "Based on my previous estimates, a perfect score in the martial arts skills section of the college entrance exam is likely to be Fourth Level Martial Arts Skills," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Could it be that a few months ago, this Tian Dazhuang was already at Fourth Level Sword Technique?"


    If that were true, at this age, one''s strength would be increasing rapidly.


    A few months have passed, and the opponent''s strength is definitely stronger now.


    Top thirty in the Blue Star Youth Ranking? Li Yuan did not think it was impossible.


    "In this world, what''s never lacking are geniuses," Li Yuan realized more than ever the significance of this statement.


    At this moment.


    "Sis, don''t scold me, it was just an accident," Gu Qianghan turned his head towards Lin Lanyue, "Next time I''ll be serious, I promise..."


    "Explain what to me?" Lin Lanyue frowned, "You lost, so just watch the battle carefully, see who your opponent is, and understand where you lost."


    Gu Qianghan immediately shut his mouth.


    He obediently turned his attention back to the duel on the platform.


    In fact, Gu Qianghan was not without talent nor did he lack cultivation resources.


    It''s just that he was born in Rome, naturally optimistic, and spoiled by his parents; he was never under any pressure from a young age¡­ In school, most classmates were very willing to be his friend.


    ...


    On the platform.


    "So weak! It seems that, as Dragon Senior said, looking across the whole Blue Star, my martial arts skills are among the top of my peers," Tian Dazhuang slightly shook his head, "Then let the massacre begin."


    "Clang!"


    "Pfft!" "Pfft!" The sword technique was fierce and swift! With each slash, the force was unstoppable.


    Dodge? There''s no escape!


    Defend? Unbearable!


    Not a single person could withstand his broadsword''s cleaves twice.


    Blood was splattered!


    Tian Dazhuang''s score rapidly rose to first place and kept on climbing, leaving the second place far behind.


    "This strong? Isn''t it said that physical quality is the same?"


    "Attack him."


    "Gang up on him." The faces of the other participating students changed; they all realized the necessity of targeting this killing demon and without hesitation, attacked him from all sides.


    They all understood that if they didn''t take down Tian Dazhuang, they would not be able to secure first place.


    Of course, there were also many who subconsciously shrank back, trying to avoid Tian Dazhuang.


    "Gang up?"


    Tian Dazhuang was expressionless, wielding the broadsword in his hand, his movements were eerily unpredictable, even faster than all other participants.


    He directly broke out of the encirclement.


    Then, the slaughter continued!


    It should be known that those who were able to participate in the invitation event were definitely the elite students who all had hopes of getting into one of Xia Country''s top five prestigious schools.


    However, when these elite students faced Tian Dazhuang, an inconspicuous youth.


    One broadsword, from the north to the south of the platform, seemed unstoppable!


    ...


    On the platform, all the students not yet in battle were looking at the figure on the platform in shock.


    "How fierce!"


    "That guy with the sword is too strong; he''s just on a different level from the others."


    "Who is he? I don''t recognize him."


    Many people couldn''t help but look at the huge scoreboard above the platform, visible from all directions.


    "Tian Dazhuang? My great-great-grandfather''s name was Dazhuang, I think."


    "Who still has this kind of name these days?"


    "I remember now, he is from Shi Zhou, he scored full marks in Martial Arts Skills during the January assessment! He''s the only full scorer from Shi Zhou!"


    "Awesome."


    "Damn, look at our city''s top scorer, see that? Tian Dazhuang killed him with three slashes. So satisfying! That idiot mocked me last time, acting tough and got struck by lightning, huh."


    "Is this really a high school senior?" The entire Spectator Platform erupted into a frenzy.


    The figure holding the broadsword, plain-looking and under one meter eighty in height.


    But at that moment, he, was the king of the platform.


    Tian Dazhuang, a very common and even somewhat retro name.


    But everyone remembered it well.


    ...


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University, inside the College Building located in the War Fortress.


    In one of the supersized conference rooms, more than fifty people were sitting.


    They were vaguely divided into five teams.


    These people were teachers from Xia Country''s top five prestigious schools and ''observers'' for this invitation event.


    Their role was to observe these students.


    Currently, all observers were each staring at the holographic projections in front of them, which showed the ''Cage Melee'' scene of the invitee students.


    Each observer could rotate the projection 360¡ã for convenient observation of the battle from various angles.


    "This Tian Dazhuang."


    "Fourth Level skills! His sword technique is probably close to intermediate Fourth Level now."


    "His movement technique is also Fourth Level."


    "Skill level, barely enough for SS rank."


    "SS rank? I think it''s still lacking a bit, but he''s certainly not bad."


    "Not to mention Blue Star, just in Xia Country, according to the data we''ve collected, his martial arts skills can definitely rank in the top five," the observers from the five prestigious schools were all taking notes and discussing with each other.


    "Look at his profile."


    "From a poor family, definitely has perseverance, and has awakened his Martial Spirit, giving him an S is no problem."


    "Seeing how he strikes, so decisive, calm enough, he won''t be bad in actual combat."


    "As long as he''s not too poor in actual combat, no problem."


    "At least an S rank." The observers from the five prestigious schools almost all made their judgment.


    They would pre-collect data, organize a list predicting those capable of reaching S, A, and B ranks, from high to low.


    Then, based on the list, during the invitation event, they would observe each person''s martial arts skills, physical quality, actual combat, and many other aspects.


    Ultimately, anyone qualifying for A rank or above will be directly issued a special training invitation.


    B rank? That would depend on the number of students.


    Of course, the profiles are mainly based on the records from the January assessments a few months ago.


    After such a long time, there are bound to be changes.


    Historically, almost every session has had students who have burst onto the scene, demonstrating strength beyond expectations.


    ...


    Time passed, and in a clash of experts, victories were determined with remarkable speed.


    In less than ten minutes, the first battle had ended, and only Tian Dazhuang remained on the stage.


    He was, without a doubt, the first.


    Dong Haifeng? His ranking was barely in the top one hundred and ten¡ªnot very noticeable.


    ...


    Swiftly, the second battle commenced right after.


    Wang Yu entered the arena and immediately unleashed her fury.


    Clutching a sword and shield and clad in light armor, her shapely figure was as fierce in combat as it was appealing.


    She likewise astounded all the students present.


    "She''s too strong."


    "Can a girl really be that powerful?"


    "Damn, I was just sneaking a peek at her, brothers, she''s all yours now."


    "So powerful." Many students were surprised.


    If Tian Dazhuang''s approach was dominating, a straightforward cleave with his heavy saber rolling over everything, resistant to any variation you might throw at him.


    Then Wang Yu''s sword was enigmatic and unpredictable, paired with her shield technique, she showed no fear in the face of surrounding attacks.


    "Who is stronger between her and Tian Dazhuang?"


    "Both are strong, it''s hard to say."


    "That''s also a perfect score in martial arts skills? Damn, fighting us is just bullying."


    Many students discussed among themselves.


    If during the first battle, many students could comfort themselves with ''it''s not that we are weak, but he is too fierce.''


    Then Wang Yu''s arrival truly made these students understand the meaning of a perfect score in martial arts skills.


    The majority of elite students had skill scores of less than 360 points.


    Moreover, even those with skill scores of 360 or 370 points, when facing Wang Yu, were generally killed in seconds.


    Only with Third Stage and high-rank skills could one withstand a few moves against her.


    Fourth Level skills, achieving body-mind-weapon integration, under the same physical quality, the exploitation and utilization of bodily potential, muscles, and vigor were far superior to Second Stage and Third Stage skills.


    "Tian Dazhuang''s strength seems stronger." Li Yuan made a judgment, his gaze fixed on the voluptuous girl on the stage.


    "Really?" Lin Lanyue asked curiously, "How can you tell?"


    "Movement technique." Li Yuan stated confidently, "Tian Dazhuang''s movement technique is stronger, while Wang Yu''s shield technique... is not quite at perfection, probably not yet at Fourth Level."


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, Li Yuan''s opinion was similar to that of her swordsmanship teacher.


    ...


    The third battle commenced, with Wu Dongdong and Lin Lanyue both being chosen.


    During this fight.


    Wu Dongdong shone brightly as well, wielding a long spear like wind and lightning.


    Her ability to shift forms was terrifying, likewise sweeping the entire field!


    Li Yuan was not surprised by Wu Dongdong''s performance, but Lin Lanyue''s did catch him off guard.


    "Second?" Li Yuan looked at the final standings on the scoreboard.


    Lin Lanyue actually shot up to second place.


    Partly, this was because Wu Dongdong was intentionally helping Lin Lanyue, keeping her from being attacked too much.


    On the other hand, it was Lin Lanyue''s swordsmanship that had truly become more formidable.


    "Third Stage and high-rank? She must be around 80% at the Third Stage." Li Yuan made his judgment.


    He had progressed rapidly over the past half year.


    While Lin Lanyue''s improvement in skills was neither the best nor the fastest, it was extremely fast nonetheless.


    ...the first three battles ended, and there was a one-minute rest.


    On the spectator platform.


    "Damn, sis, Dongdong, with you guys coming in first and second, how am I supposed to show my face in the neighborhood?" Gu Qianghan complained, "What happened to the Three Heroes of the neighborhood, leaving me as the only weakling?"


    "Gu Qiang, you are first too!" Wu Dongdong teased.


    She had just switched seats, sitting next to Lin Lanyue now.


    "Last place is still first!" Gu Qianghan shook his head, "Just my luck, facing Dazhuang right at the start."


    "That''s also first place." Wu Dongdong smiled.


    "Li Yuan, if you also make it into the top ten later, I''ll be utterly humiliated." Gu Qianghan lamented pitifully.


    "Alright, then I won''t make the top ten. I''ll just kill myself in the opening to keep you company, how''s that?" Li Yuan joked.


    "Forget it, I was just kidding. You should go all out." Gu Qianghan looked disheartened, his eyes devoid of spirit as he spread his limbs and looked to the sky, "I should think about how I''m going to explain this to my dad when I get back. Last place... sigh, I''m going to get beaten again."


    "The last time I got beaten... was also the last time."


    The people around them burst into laughter.


    The one-minute rest was over.


    On the stage.


    "The fourth battle, begin." The man in black on the stage spoke slowly. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan vanished from his seat.


    "Li Yuan." A glint of expectation flickered in Lin Lanyue''s eyes as she focused on the stage.


    "Let''s see." Wu Dongdong said earnestly, "Yue Yue, you''ve always said he''s good."


    "After observing him this half day, he seems to be a decent person, just not talkative."


    "I hope his strength isn''t too weak."


    ...


    Inside the War Fortress conference room.


    "In the first three battles, all three S-ranks have appeared and performed well, and eight from the A-rank showed up."


    "This fourth battle only has two from A-rank."


    "No one has an absolute advantage, once the fight starts, it''s likely to be intense for a while." The observers from the five major schools chatted and laughed, all relaxed.


    The previous three battles had been watched intently by them.


    Only the ten observers from Kunlun Martial Arts University noticed that in addition to the two scheduled A-rank students, there was a third one.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan has also entered this battle." Teachers from Kunlun University paid attention to Li Yuan.


    "I hope you don''t disappoint." Teacher Fan Jin inwardly remarked, watching the stage intently.


    Thirty seconds later.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Li Yuan, armed with a long spear and dressed in light armor, appeared on the stage with the other 199 combatants.


    "Hm?"


    "Not good." Fan Jin''s heart skipped a beat, "Why is Wu Luo, another A-rank student, right beside Li Yuan?"


    "This Wu Luo seems to have also entered the top 1000 of the Blue Star youth rankings, even earlier than Li Yuan."


    "This is trouble!"

 Chapter 69: 67: Sweeping the Arena

    "Is that Wu Luo? Not good." Lin Lanyue''s expression on the spectator platform changed slightly, as she also sensed something was off.


    "What''s wrong, Sister Yue Yue?" Wu Dongdong asked.


    "Next to Li Yuan, that''s Wu Luo from Hanshui Province. He scored 394 in the Prime Warrior martial arts skills test in January." Lin Lanyue said sternly.


    "394?" Wu Dongdong said indifferently, "Didn''t you say Li Yuan scored 389? The two should be about the same."


    "I''m afraid of an accident." Lin Lanyue frowned.


    She knew how important this invitation event was to Li Yuan and understood that the five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins were very important to him.


    "Sister Yue Yue, does he know Wu Luo''s strength?" Wu Dongdong asked in return.


    Lin Lanyue nodded: "He knows, I''ve told him."


    "Then that settles it." Wu Dongdong said seriously for a change, "Sister, I have to criticize you. I know you want to help Li Yuan."


    "But he has to be worth helping."


    "With the intelligence advantage, he''s fully capable of seizing the initiative. If he still can''t win?" Wu Dongdong said carelessly, "Then that''s his own problem."


    Lin Lanyue was still frowning, lost in thought.


    "Sister Yue Yue." Wu Dongdong waved his hand in front of Lin Lanyue''s eyes.


    Lin Lanyue looked at him.


    "You need to look at it from a different angle," Wu Dongdong said, "Difficulties can sometimes be opportunities."


    Lin Lanyue suddenly felt puzzled.


    "Facing Wu Luo is indeed a big threat," Wu Dongdong said, "But if he can beat Wu Luo, wouldn''t the observers from the five famous schools rate him higher? Wouldn''t the possibility of receiving a special training invitation be higher?"


    Lin Lanyue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Dongdong, I haven''t thought it through as well as you."


    "Hmm, then it''s up to Li Yuan himself." Lin Lanyue''s gaze landed on Li Yuan, who was on the stage.


    "Concern leads to chaos." Wu Dongdong said playfully, "Sister Yue Yue, I''ve helped you. You owe me a treat when we get back; I want the dishes made by Chef Liu."


    "Okay, whatever you want to eat is fine," Lin Lanyue said with a smile, "I''ll have Chef Liu prepare it when the time comes."


    "Sister Yue Yue." Wu Dongdong pointed to the stage, "It''s starting!"


    ¡­


    "Wu Luo."


    "On this stage, there should be few who can match Wu Luo."


    "Perhaps, he could make it to first place in this round." Some students from Hanshui Province also had high hopes for Wu Luo.


    ¡­Cage brawl, the fourth round.


    "Begin."


    The man in black stood in the sky, his deep voice echoing throughout the battle space.


    The 200 people on the stage were immediately freed from their restraints, and the battle erupted in an instant.


    Having seen the previous three cage brawls, the participants in the fourth round understood that to survive longer,


    First, they must defeat nearby opponents as quickly as possible.


    Next, they must appear fierce enough to make others think twice before provoking them.


    If they flee from the outset? They would be seen as easy targets by everyone, becoming the focus of group attacks.


    "Boom!" "Clang!"


    "Bang~" Shadows moved with astonishing speed, and the sounds of weapons, such as swords, spears, cudgels, and hammers, continued to reverberate with their collisions.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Boom!" Both to his left and right, two opponents launched attacks at Li Yuan simultaneously.


    "Wu Luo? Scored 394 in the January Prime Warrior test? Hanshui Province''s top scorer in the January Prime Warrior test?" Li Yuan had recognized the opponent on his right.


    As for the other person? Unfamiliar!


    In fact, at Li Yuan''s level, through immediate observation of burst speed and stepping techniques, he could roughly judge a person''s skill level.


    With the same physical quality, the higher the skill, the more power extracted from the body, resulting in stronger speed and force.


    Especially once reaching the Fourth Level of skill, it was not an exaggeration to say that the same body could fight against ten or even a hundred with ease.


    "First, take down the weaker one, then I''ll test this Wu Luo. He has a certain chance of reaching the Fourth Level." This was Li Yuan''s subconscious decision.


    "Huh!"


    As Wu Luo and the others moved, Li Yuan''s muscles and bones resonated, his feet shifted slightly, and his momentum instantly changed, giving off the feeling of an unshakable boulder.


    The next moment.


    "Boom!" "Boom!" Li Yuan''s legs powered up, propelling him forward like a cannonball, charging toward the opponent on the right with terrifying speed, even faster than Wu Luo, who had moved first.


    "So fast?" Wu Luo''s face changed immediately, "Fourth Level skill? Who is he?"


    Wu Luo''s skill had already reached the Third Stage of Perfection. To be quicker than him?


    Not just Wu Luo.


    On the spectator platform, many students from Jiang City were actually paying attention to Li Yuan.


    In the conference room of the War Fortress, observers from Kunlun Martial Arts University, and many others, also noticed Li Yuan''s sudden burst of speed.


    In a flash.


    His burst speed was much faster than the others.


    "Huh?" The student who tried to attack Li Yuan saw his sudden burst and panicked, instinctively swinging his combat saber at the black figure charging towards him.


    In the world of martial arts beginners, saber-wielders were the most numerous.


    "Scram!"


    Li Yuan just glanced at him, raising his long spear instantly, executing the ''Stability of Heaven and Earth'' technique, his body''s power unified, especially the spearhead, which exploded like a boulder.


    He fiercely swept towards the opponent.


    "Clang!"


    The long spear, like a suddenly rising dragon, was unstoppable, directly sending the incoming combat saber flying. Then the spear''s head charged straight through, carrying an incredibly shocking force, directly piercing the opponent''s neck.


    "Pu-chi~"


    The saber-wielding participant was instantly blown away, his neck tearing open a horrifying wound, and blood sprayed out.


    His body turned into nothingness in mid-air.


    One spear, life extinguished!


    Armored for protection?


    With Li Yuan''s spear technique, facing a Second Stage with his Fourth Level ability, he paid no heed to the opponent''s armor, destined to strike at the vital points with every thrust.


    This scene even shocked Wu Luo, and suddenly, he saw Li Yuan turn back and glance at him with a cold gaze.


    "Run!" Wu Luo''s complexion drastically changed, and he turned to flee, "This is definitely a Fourth Level master."


    "Run?" After powerfully killing one man, Li Yuan''s spirit soared, and without mercy, he charged towards Wu Luo.


    "Just now, it seemed like you wanted to kill me."


    Boom! Boom! As one chased and the other fled, they quickly covered nearly twenty meters towards the center of the stage.


    How big was the stage anyway?


    "Huh!" A participant noticed Li Yuan whisking by and instinctively slashed at him with his knife.


    In the ranks of beginner martial artists, those who practiced the knife were the majority.


    "Scram!"


    Li Yuan only spared him a glance. He instantly raised his long spear, executing ''Stability of Heaven and Earth.'' The force throughout his body unified, particularly at the spearhead, which felt like a massive boulder erupting.


    He violently swept towards his opponent.


    If he were facing a high-ranking expert of the same level, Li Yuan''s direct use of this move would easily give his opponent a chance to kill him.


    However, Li Yuan''s strength was much too superior compared to the majority of participants at the Second Stage, High Rank, and Third Stage, Initial Rank.


    They were simply not on the same level.


    The saber was yet to arrive when the spear had already struck!


    "Bang~"


    The 30-kilogram metal spear shaft smashed down onto the hastily raised shield of the opponent, sending him flying backward with a loud crash, his arms breaking and fracturing.


    "I..." the participant spat blood from his mouth, about to speak when a shadow of the spear already swept by.


    It directly skimmed his neck, and his body dissolved into nothingness.


    "Pfft!"


    With the long spear whistling, Li Yuan stepped forward after killing the participant, thrusting forward gracefully and piercing the chest of another participant who was frantically trying to flee.


    In just one encounter, he had killed two people.


    "Holy shit, retreat!"


    "Him! Is he on the same level as Tian Dazhuang and Wu Dongdong? Full score in martial arts skills?"


    "Three already, and now another one?"


    "Are there so many achieving full scores in martial arts skills this year?" The surrounding participants were all stunned, their faces changing, retreating like the tide.


    After the first three chaotic cage battles, almost everyone had understood that in theory, over a hundred people could sacrifice dozens of lives to kill someone with full martial arts skills.


    But unity was key.


    No one was willing to truly fight to the death for someone else''s gain, which meant that those with full skills were destined to slaughter all around them.


    Moreover, the domineering and strong performance displayed by Li Yuan was itself enough to intimidate others.


    "Go for second place."


    "Just avoid him." This was what most participating students were thinking.


    ...On the spectator platform.


    "Holy shit!"


    "This one named Li Yuan?"


    "Li Yuan! He''s first in the field now!"


    "Li Yuan? Never heard of him before."


    "As of today, you have."


    "Another one with full martial arts skills?" Elite students from all over Jiangbei Province had noticed the spear-wielding figure, and were shocked by it.


    While others were still entangled in fights, Li Yuan had already killed three people, no, he had just killed another one.


    He had killed four, displaying ferocity beyond belief.


    "Yue Yue!"


    Initially indifferent, Wu Dongdong''s eyes suddenly lit up: "Is Li Yuan also a Fourth Level expert? Good! Good! Good! You were just pretending to worry me, looking all concerned."


    "Holy shit!"


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n, who had been sprawling lifelessly on the chair, suddenly jumped up, shouting excitedly: "Awesome! Li Yuan is awesome!"


    "That''s my brother, Li Yuan," G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n waved his fists, instantly attracting the attention of many students around him.


    "My brother, Gu Qiang!" G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n yelled excitedly, as if he were the one dominating the ring.


    While roaring,


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n turned back and shouted, "Sis, I was wondering why you changed your attitude towards Li Yuan, turns out you knew he had reached the Fourth Level."


    "Me?" Lin Lanyue was just as confused, wanting to explain but finding no way to do so.


    Moreover, she was extremely shocked.


    "Fourth Level?" Lin Lanyue was staring at the figure in the arena.


    Li Yuan had caught up to Wu Luo, his spear attacks pushing Wu Luo back step by step.


    "When did Li Yuan break through to the Fourth Level?" Lin Lanyue wondered, "Does Teacher Xu not know either? Why did he ask me to help Li Yuan?"


    "What assistance does he need with this strength?"


    Lin Lanyue understood the difficulty of breaking through from the Third to the Fourth Level in martial arts skills.


    "That''s good!"


    "Fourth Level skills." Lin Lanyue suddenly smiled, "Li Yuan''s name is definitely on the special training list; it''s just a matter of which school is willing to offer an A-level special training contract."


    She was unaware of Li Yuan''s talent for spiritual power.


    "Li Yuan?" His schoolmates were also in shock, speechless.


    "Li Yuan? This!" Dong Haifeng''s eyes widened as he watched, and his petty thoughts instantly extinguished.


    Compete?


    It''s like throwing one''s life away!


    ...In the War Fortress, in the meeting room.


    "That student?"


    "Fourth Level!"


    "It''s definitely Fourth Level skills! Named Li Yuan? Why isn''t his information on my pre-invitation list?" The dozens of observers who were previously relaxed were now shocked.


    "Not even a B-level?"


    "He''s just seventeen and a half?"


    "Not awakened to Martial Spirit, so not included on the list?"


    "Idiots! The recruitment office''s intelligence collectors are a bunch of useless metal scrap! Just based on Fourth Level skills, who cares about not awakening to Martial Spirit? He should at least be A-level." The observers started to frantically take notes in their panic.


    Fourth Level skills, after all!


    Whether a student of such skill level could emerge was a matter of luck.


    Sometimes, a province might not have even one.


    Sometimes, like Jiangbei Province, four or five might appear this year.


    Globally, normally at this age range, only about two hundred appear each year.


    "Fourth Level?"


    "It''s much stronger than the information provided by President Zhao?" Fan Jin''s heart skipped a beat, both excited and a bit anxious.


    Because if Li Yuan''s martial arts skills were only at the Third Stage of Perfection, then the other five prestigious schools might not be interested.


    Fourth Level skills?


    Even if he hasn''t awakened to Martial Spirit, he was destined to be fought over, with at least each willing to offer a special training invitation. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Old Fan." A voice echoed in Fan Jin''s mind.


    "President Li," Fan Jin looked toward the bald, stout man not far away who hadn''t said a word.


    "When the meeting ends, come with me to invite Li Yuan immediately, taking advantage of the fact that the other schools don''t know about his spiritual power, directly offer him an S-level special training contract." The voice continued, "And promise him."


    "It doesn''t matter if he hasn''t awakened to Martial Spirit. Our Kunlun Martial Arts University will do everything in our power to help him become a Prime Warrior and create his own Cultivation Technique."

 Chapter 70: 68 A Night Visit

    On the platform, the fight was still ongoing.


    Li Yuan, holding a long spear, was continuously attacking Wu Luo, who wielded a sword and shield.


    "Bang~" A forceful sweep of the spear forced Wu Luo to stagger back.


    "Li Yuan, I was wrong; I should not have attacked you without knowing you," Wu Luo said hastily while desperately defending, "But your entanglement with me will only allow others to benefit from our fight."


    As an expert who had achieved Perfection in both Sword Technique and Shield Technique at the Third Level, Wu Luo could still defend a few moves from Li Yuan when putting his full effort.


    "Benefit from our fight?" Li Yuan swept a cold glance around, and the other participants, who were already retreating, became even more flustered and retreated further.


    After all, Li Yuan had casually killed five participants while pursuing Wu Luo.


    Who wouldn''t fear such dominance and aggression?


    Moreover, for the other participating students, Wu Luo was also a great expert; his defeat by Li Yuan would only raise their hopes of entering the top ten.


    "This battle!"


    "No one is qualified to take advantage," Li Yuan said coldly, "Go to hell!"


    Did he have a grudge with Wu Luo before? No grudge!


    But he had to find an opponent nonetheless, so why couldn''t it be Wu Luo?


    To Li Yuan, the other people on the platform posed no challenge.


    In contrast, Wu Luo was the strongest and could exchange a few moves with him.


    "Pfft!!"


    "Boom!" "Boom!" Li Yuan stabbed out with his long spear again and again, the shadows of the spear changing unpredictably, each thrust fierce and violent.


    "Ahh! Damn it!" Wu Luo could only try his best to defend, almost spitting out blood in frustration, "This Li Yuan is simply insane."


    Logically, with Wu Luo''s strength, getting into the top ten in the cage melee was a piece of cake.


    "Clang!" The two clashed like lightning, Li Yuan''s attacks were swift and ferocious, like a tide of continuous strikes.


    Wu Luo''s defense was impeccable, yet with each clash, his arms numbed, making it increasingly difficult to resist. After twelve consecutive strikes, he was still caught off guard by Li Yuan, who pierced through his throat.


    Blood splattered.


    "I still couldn''t defend; is this the Fourth Level Spear Technique?" Wu Luo''s body immediately dissipated into nothingness.


    "My attack, much weaker than Wu Dongdong''s and Tian Dazhuang''s, especially weaker than Tian''s by a margin," Li Yuan pondered as he watched Wu Luo''s body gradually fade, "Tian Dazhuang''s mountain-splitting saber technique is extremely proficient in attack, and his martial arts skills are indeed much higher than mine, probably around 20% of the Fourth Level."


    The opponent had broken through at least three months ago; it was normal for him to be more skilled.


    Moreover, Li Yuan''s forte was defense, not attack.


    If he really had to fight Tian Dazhuang on the platform, Li Yuan believed he also had the chance to win.


    Perfection of the Third Stage and Fourth Level? They are worlds apart.


    But 2% of the Fourth Level and 20%? Both could achieve Body-Mind-Weapon Integration. The difference was only the extent of physical power exploitation, a gap that was not insurmountable.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan swung his spear and continued to strike at the others.


    On the entire platform, hardly anyone could withstand two strikes from Li Yuan, and they were defeated one by one.


    A siege? Setting aside the difficulty of unity, even if they could unite to attack him, they might not be able to kill Li Yuan.


    The final showdown unfolded between Li Yuan and another student preselected as A-Level by one of the five famous schools, Xiong Xiaocheng.


    In fact, Li Yuan had deliberately avoided the opponent, giving Xiong Xiaocheng the opportunity to pursue others.


    "I''m already second."


    "First place? This Li Yuan is too fierce; my chances of winning are very slim," Xiong Xiaocheng stared at Li Yuan, feeling like a tiger was eyeing him.


    He was covered in sweat.


    "To win, I have only one chance."


    "At all costs, a sudden fierce onslaught might bring victory," Xiong Xiaocheng resolved. He too practiced with a long spear.


    Already second, it was better to give it his all.


    "Whoosh!"


    Xiong Xiaocheng pounced toward Li Yuan, his spear stabbing fiercely and violently.


    "Golden Cleaving Spear Technique?" Li Yuan figured out from the opponent''s starting stance and power delivery, "Is he an expert of the Heaven Cleaving True Gold Method?"


    Like the Stellar Spear Technique, which fits exceedingly well with the Second Rank Spear Technique of the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique.


    Heaven Cleaving True Gold Method, one of the seven high-rank Cultivation Methods, naturally has a highly compatible, matching Second Rank Spear Technique.


    Li Yuan, who frequently fought on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, had seen many experts and could recognize some techniques.


    Especially since he had encountered a Fallen Star-ranked expert using the Golden Cleaving Spear Technique, which was ferocious and crazy, leaving a profound impression on Li Yuan, who had re-watched the video many times.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" "Boom!" Li Yuan, with a killing urge, whistled through the air with his long spear, attacking with offense against offense. Within just three clashes, he had knocked Xiong Xiaocheng''s spear out of his hand.


    "Pfft!"


    The spear tip sliced through, a head flew, and the figure turned into nothingness.


    On the entire platform, only Li Yuan was left.


    ¡­


    "That''s a steady spear; his specialty must be defense," Tian Dazhuang on the Spectator Platform watched Li Yuan closely, his eyes burning with excitement, "Another Fourth Level!"


    "I was too conceited, hanging only by a remote corner of the sky; not all of Long Senior''s words can be taken for truth," he thought.


    "Just in Jiangbei Province alone, including me, that makes four at the Fourth Level. Are there any more in hiding?"


    "How many across the country? And worldwide?" Tian Dazhuang muttered to himself, "Li Yuan?"


    "I''ve got it memorized."


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure appeared in his seat, immediately drawing the attention of hundreds of surrounding students, all of whom turned to look at him.


    "Li Yuan?"


    "From Jiang City, there''s a Wu Dongdong and a Li Yuan, fitting for a provincial capital."


    "But I''ve never heard of this name from the teachers before."


    "Perhaps others intentionally hid their strength during the January assessments?" Many students quietly speculated.


    The first three matches saw the explosive performance of three fourth-level masters: Tian Dazhuang, Wang Yu, Wu Dongdong, all of whom had established reputations.


    Despite not knowing their faces, many had heard their names.


    Li Yuan was the only exception.


    Ranked just over two hundred in Jiang City''s martial arts scores, he indeed seemed rather inconspicuous.


    After this battle, Li Yuan was destined to rise to fame among the students participating in the invitation event.


    "Li Yuan, awesome," Gu Qianghan turned around, excitedly shouting.


    Li Yuan just smiled.


    "Li Yuan, impressive. I had underestimated you," Wu Dongdong said as if he had discovered a treasure, gazing curiously at Li Yuan, "You''re at the fourth level in spear technique, and so am I. I must find a chance to spar with you later."


    "Sure," Li Yuan was not opposed.


    It was Lin Lanyue who merely smiled and said, "Congratulations on taking first place, fifty thousand Blue Star Coins. You''ll have to treat us to a meal."


    "Sorry about that," Li Yuan chuckled, "I didn''t mention it earlier, but my spear technique only broke through yesterday."


    "Oh?"


    "Just yesterday?" Lin Lanyue reacted, "So, your fainting in the martial arts room yesterday... was it also related to your spear technique breakthrough?"


    "Right!" Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    The fifth and sixth cage battles continued in succession.


    However, no super masters like Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang appeared, creating a sheer cliff of advantage.


    In some sense, this made the battles even more exciting, allowing most of the participating students a greater chance to shine.


    The six rounds concluded.


    Out of the ten students from Guan Mountain District''s Number One High School, aside from Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue who took the first and second places, Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    none of the other eight managed to break into the top fifty.


    This made Dong Haifeng and the others realize the gap.


    Perhaps in terms of overall martial arts scores, some of them had slightly surpassed Li Yuan with ''spiritual nature bonus points'' during the January assessments.


    But the real strength gap was enormous.


    In the ''Jiangbei Martial University Invitation Event'', representing the highest level of Jiangbei Province''s high school seniors, Li Yuan was still the most dazzling.


    And they had become just ordinary members among the thousands of elite students.


    ...


    "I announce that the cage battles are over," the man in black roared in his rumbling voice, "The sixty students who have won prizes can check their accounts."


    "All the Blue Star Coin rewards have been distributed."


    The conclusion of this event also marked the end of the first day''s itinerary for the invitation event.


    ...


    In the virtual network, in his personal space,


    "Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins credited," Li Yuan had already received the bank account notification and couldn''t help but smile, "The efficiency of Jiangbei Martial University''s work is indeed high."


    The most timely feedback can greatly motivate people.


    ...


    Exiting the virtual network cabin, Li Yuan chatted with Gu Qianghan while taking a can of cola out of the fridge.


    "Ding~"


    "Ding~" At the entrance of the martial arts room, the doorbell rang.


    "Who could it be this late?" Gu Qianghan looked puzzled, "Who''s there?"


    "I''ll go get the door," Li Yuan said with a smile and went straight to open the door.


    When he opened the door, standing in front of Li Yuan were a bald man and a robed elder.


    "Who are you?" Li Yuan hesitated slightly; he could sense the aura emanating from both of them.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had instinctively inquired, and both had life levels beyond his inquiry limit.


    This meant that the two men before him were at least Prime Warriors.


    "Li Yuan,"


    "I''m the Vice Dean of the Sixth Institute of Kunlun Martial Arts University, my surname is Li," the bald man said with a slight smile, "I''ve come to formally extend an invitation from Kunlun Martial University for you to participate in an S-grade special training."


    "May I have a private word with you?"

 Chapter 71: 69 All Things Have Spirits

    "President Li? An S-Level Special Training Contract?" Li Yuan looked at the two people before him.


    In the cage turmoil, his display of skill must have attracted the attention of the top five schools.


    It''s just that Kunlun Martial Arts University''s arrival seemed too fast.


    After all, the entire cage chaos had just ended less than two minutes ago.


    What Li Yuan did not know was that during the fifth round of the cage chaos, President Li and Teacher Fan Jin had already changed their minds and set out early, rushing over at high speed in a flyer.


    "I¡­" Li Yuan hesitated before saying, "Senior fellows, I cannot confirm your identities."


    Logically, observers from the top five famous schools should not arrive so quickly.


    And signing contracts usually happened after the five-day invitation event was over.


    President Li and Fan Jin exchanged a glance and could not help but laugh.


    "Li Yuan, I am Fan Jin."


    The elder-looking Fan Jin said with a smile, "A few days ago, one of your elders should have specifically submitted your information to our Kunlun Martial University."


    "My elder?" Li Yuan immediately thought of Lord Wan.


    Before coming here, Teacher Xu Bo had mentioned this matter.


    "Precisely because information was submitted, before leaving for Jiangbei from Kunlun Martial University, President Li had already included you in the A-Level student list," said Fan Jin, speaking confidently with a smile. "It''s just that at the time, we didn''t know your skill had broken through."


    "An A-Level from the start?" Li Yuan felt surprised internally.


    He knew about the S-Level and A-Level distinctions for the pre-selected list after Lin Lanyue and he had talked about it.


    A-Level was already very high.


    "Just now, in the cage chaos, as soon as we discovered your skill had broken through, we immediately decided to upgrade to an S-Level Special Training Contract," said Fan Jin with gravity. "And then we rushed over."


    The result was the same, but Fan Jin had ''optimized'' the process significantly.


    "S-Level?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    He had mostly believed the identities of the others and could sense how much Kunlun Martial Arts University valued him.


    Suddenly.


    "Beep~" Li Yuan''s smart bracelet trembled, and he glanced at it subconsciously: "Kunlun Martial Arts University''s S-level Special Training Invitation."


    The message was from the official source of Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    "You should have received the invitation by now." President Li said with a smile. "Do you believe us now?"


    "President Li, Teacher Fan, I apologize," said Li Yuan, full of remorse. "Senior fellows, please come in."


    "It''s fine, being cautious is good," President Li responded with a smile. "There are roommates in your room. Let''s go into this conference room and talk alone."


    "Great, please lead the way, senior," said Li Yuan decisively.


    Since the last invitation from Martial Hall and the guidance from his uncle Li Changzhou, Li Yuan had thought things through very thoroughly... Sometimes, good opportunities only come once or twice.


    Yes, his talent was not bad, but ultimately, he lacked suitable high-rank cultivation methods, and his physical quality had not even reached level 9.


    Now, a president from Kunlun Martial University had personally come, showing how much they valued him.


    If he still put on airs, that would be foolish.


    A genius? That''s not the same as a strong warrior.


    ..."Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan," Gu Qianghan walked out of the resting area with a freshly cut cantaloupe, puzzled, "Where has he gone?"


    ...


    At the end of the corridor on the same floor, there was a small conference room.


    "Sit down," President Li said with a smile.


    Teacher Fan Jin closed the door, drawing the curtains over the windows. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan obediently sat down.


    "On the list we prepared at Kunlun Martial University, there are four S-Level students so far," President Li said with a smile.


    He was a burly man with a bald head, and his smile gave off a kind demeanor.


    "Tian Dazhuang, Wu Dongdong, Wang Yu, and you," President Li continued. "However, we came to find you first, and our expectations of you are the highest."


    "You sought me out first?" Li Yuan was a bit hesitant.


    The four S-Level students President Li spoke of were exactly the four Fourth Level skill students.


    "Why?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled. "I haven''t awakened Martial Spirit, so logically, my comprehensive evaluation should be much worse than theirs, right?"


    "Your spiritual power talent is stronger," Teacher Fan Jin, who also took a seat, said with a smile. "President Li is a 29th Rank Prime Warrior, but his spiritual power is extremely strong, comparable to a 30+ rank Flying Heaven Warrior. Hence, he can accurately sense the strength of your spiritual power."


    Li Yuan''s pupils constricted slightly.


    "Your spiritual power should be comparable to a 15th Level Martial Artist," President Li said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. It was indeed accurate.


    Of course, Li Yuan was not surprised; Lord Wan had been able to sense it previously and although half a year had passed, his strength had grown and his mental concentration was stronger.


    But the strength of President Li was clearly much greater than that of Lord Wan.


    Spiritual power, comparable to a Flying Heaven Warrior?


    "If we follow the unified evaluation standards of the Seven Star Alliance, categorizing you as A+ would be more appropriate, but I think you qualify for S-Level," President Li said with a laugh.


    "Why?" Li Yuan became even more perplexed.


    "Li Yuan, let me first tell you some things, and you will understand," said Fan Jin.


    "First Rank Martial Artists have much stronger physical qualities than ordinary people," Fan Jin spoke slowly. "But if they only hold cold weapons, they can still be killed by firearms, which you should understand."


    Li Yuan nodded, recalling the wartime footage he had seen of the Rob Sea.


    First-Rank Star Realm Creatures were quite fragile in the face of a metal storm created by firearms.


    It''s difficult for carbon-based flesh to directly withstand firearms.


    "Second Rank Martial Artists can directly use Origin Power, making it very difficult to kill them with firearms," Fan Jin continued. "That''s why top martial arts schools like the top five famous schools, or the top martial arts institutes in various countries, or the three top famous schools in Blue Star, all aim to cultivate Prime Warriors essentially."


    "Prime Warriors are the backbone of warriors who venture deeply into various Star Realms and kill Star Realm Creatures," Fan Jin stressed solemnly.


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    He had watched many documentaries; those who ventured deep into exploration were usually warriors above level 20.


    At least a Fifteenth Level Martial Artist.


    "Becoming a Prime Warrior is extremely difficult," Fan Jin sighed lightly, "First and foremost, physical quality must reach Level Nineteen, followed by skill and spiritual power."


    "Actually, everything has a spirit, and every living being has Spiritual Nature, but there must be a specialized medium to directly absorb Origin Power from the universe at an early stage," stated Fan Jin.


    "High Rank Cultivation Methods?" Li Yuan felt an inkling of understanding.


    "Correct," nodded Fan Jin, "Hundreds of years ago, in the era of the Star Bridge, early Martial Artists had no Cultivation Techniques. They relied solely on consuming a massive amount of Heavenly Materials Treasures, forcibly stacking their Physical Quality to Level Nineteen."


    "Relying solely on consumption?" Li Yuan nodded slightly, familiar with that part of history.


    "Among the outstanding ones, their skill was refined, and their spiritual power was strong, eventually becoming Prime Warriors," Fan Jin continued, "Once you become a Prime Warrior, you''ll understand... Prime Warriors can sense Origin Power directly, and they can absorb it without any Cultivation Technique."


    Li Yuan nodded gently.


    This point, had also been mentioned in books, and it was one of the reasons why Second Rank Martial Artists were known as Prime Warriors.


    "However, the encumbrance of using only the body''s natural abilities to absorb Origin Power makes evolution too slow; reaching Level Twenty-Nine in one''s lifetime is difficult."


    "Therefore, the first generation of Prime Warriors began to attempt to create Cultivation Techniques."


    "Without much guidance."


    "With no experience, many of the first generation Prime Warriors died due to their bodies exploding, with a mortality rate exceeding 99%," Fan Jin sighed slightly.


    "99%?" Li Yuan was shocked; such a mortality rate was too high.


    "The mortality rate was extremely high, but in the end, a very small number of people successfully created rough Cultivation Techniques that were suited to themselves, and reached Level Twenty-Nine," Fan Jin said.


    "However, each person''s Physique is different, and the self-created Cultivation Techniques of Prime Warriors are rough, basically only suitable for themselves."


    "Then, among the Prime Warriors at Level Twenty-Nine, a very small number broke the shackles of life and became Flying Heaven Warriors."


    Li Yuan listened with bated breath.


    He had seen similar history in textbooks, but it wasn''t as clearly stated as by Fan Jin.


    "What happened later?" Asked Li Yuan.


    "Flying Heaven Warriors, their strength and realm have already exceeded the scope of ordinary life. They can fly and escape into the earth, enter space with their physical bodies, and can go without eating or drinking for life...


    They already possess the capability to create universal Cultivation Techniques," Fan Jin said, "But in that era, there was still no talk of ''Spiritual Awakening,'' and no one could absorb Origin Power before reaching Level Twenty."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Everyone has Spiritual Nature, but without Cultivation Techniques, Spiritual Nature is meaningless.


    Early Flying Heaven Warriors created Cultivation Techniques that were only suitable for their own practice.


    "Throughout civilization, the Seven Great Planets kept investing massive resources, continuously producing Prime Warriors who successfully created their own Cultivation Techniques; after many years, eventually, numerous Flying Heaven Warriors worked together to deduce the first universal High Rank Cultivation Technique, ''Southern Ming Myriad Waters Scripture,'' about two hundred years ago."


    "This made it a reality for ordinary people to absorb Origin Power."


    "With a compatibility exceeding 85%, there is hope of Cultivation; with compatibility exceeding 90%, one can definitely cultivate."


    "The birth rate of Martial Artists within civilization started to speed up," said Fan Jin, "First Rank Martial Artists rapidly increased in number, but the resources consumed for various Cultivation Methods began to decrease."


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    For someone like himself, relying purely on consuming various cultivation treasures was an astonishing use of resources.


    It''s not of great consequence for one individual.


    But what if there were ten, a hundred thousand, or a million? The entire human civilization couldn''t afford it.


    In the early days of human civilization, there was no choice; if you wanted to become a Prime Warrior, you had to clash head-on!


    With High Rank Cultivation Methods, ordinary people could cultivate and absorb Origin Power from the universe.


    Thus, on the path to becoming a Prime Warrior, the resources consumed could be reduced by at least ninety percent.


    "Without a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method, Prime Warriors seeking to break through to become Flying Heaven Warriors must create their own, and any carelessness can lead to death."


    "Now, with rich experience, the success rate has increased tenfold, but the mortality rate of Prime Warriors creating their own methods still exceeds 90%," Fan Jin shook his head slightly, "If one has a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method right from the start, the transition from Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven Warrior at most fails to break through, one wouldn''t die due to cultivation."


    "Precisely because of this, eighty years ago, the system of Martial Arts University entrance exams began."


    "Considering the whole civilization, we prioritize the training of young people with a high compatibility with High Rank Cultivation Methods."


    "This is what is called ''Spiritual Awakening.''"


    "It reduces resource consumption and reduces the casualties caused by Prime Warriors'' creation of methods, but it leads to the birth of more Flying Heaven Warriors."


    "The more Flying Heaven Warriors there are, the more efficiently they can deduce universal High Rank Cultivation Methods."


    "Over the past eighty years, human civilization''s top Martial Artists have successively deduced four new High Rank Cultivation Methods," Fan Jin looked at Li Yuan, "enabling more and more people to utilize their Spiritual Nature."


    Li Yuan fully understood.


    It wasn''t that human civilization did not want to cultivate ordinary people.


    But accumulating resources to become Prime Warriors bore a heavy toll, and creating methods resulted in a 90% mortality rate.


    Not to mention becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior... The input and output were not proportional at all.


    With the same resources used to nurture people who could directly cultivate High Rank Cultivation Methods, the number of strong individuals born would be many times greater.


    "So."


    "Spiritual Nature bonus points, at its core, is it to discourage ordinary people? To make them give up the dream of Martial Arts University?" Li Yuan pondered.


    Online, society had never ceased debating the 10% additional points for Spiritual Nature.


    But this policy had remained unshaken for eighty years.


    "Correct," nodded Fan Jin, "This policy might seem somewhat unfair to ordinary people, but from the standpoint of the entire civilization, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."


    "After all, Star Realm Creatures keep emerging, threatening our entire civilization," Fan Jin declared, "We must maximize resource utilization."


    "Then why list me as an ''S'' rank?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.


    "Because your talent is high enough," declared President Li with firm conviction.


    High enough talent? Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "Everyone has Spiritual Nature."


    "Talent is nothing more than Physique Talent, Spiritual Power Talent, and Comprehension Talent," President Li said with a smile, "Without guidance from High Rank Cultivation Methods or ingestion of remarkable treasures, your Physical Quality still improves extremely quickly, which indicates your Physique Talent is top-notch."


    "Spiritual Power Talent, top-notch."


    "Most critically, you''ve achieved Fourth Level skill at seventeen and a half years old, indicating your Comprehension Talent is also top-notch."


    "What you''re lacking is just the Cultivation Technique."


    "And in Law Creation, Comprehension is the most essential requirement."

 Chapter 72: 70 S-Class Special Training Contract

    "If your comprehension isn''t up to par, having only physical and mental talents at most will make you a Prime Warrior, and you would barely qualify as a B-rank talent," President Li continued.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    At the Starfire Martial Hall, the initial B-rank contract they offered me was already at a premium.


    In the past six months, my progress had been astonishing, but without a breakthrough in skills to the Fourth Level, I would barely qualify as A-rank.


    There''s a startling difference between Third Stage perfection in skills and the Fourth Level.


    "With all three of your talents at the top level, it''s a case of 1+1+1>5, with no weaknesses." President Li spoke with utmost gravity: "The biggest obstacle on your path to becoming a Level 29 Prime Warrior is the lack of high-rank cultivation methods."


    "For ordinary Prime Warriors, the death rate when creating their own cultivation techniques exceeds 90% because their comprehension is average."


    "Moreover, even if they are lucky enough to successfully create a cultivation technique, most will find it difficult to become Level 29 Prime Warriors, let alone Flying Heaven Warriors."


    "But you,"


    President Li looked at Li Yuan as if he saw an uncut jade and smiled, "I think your chances of successfully creating a cultivation technique could exceed 50%."


    "As long as you don''t die in the trials of Star Realm."


    "You have a fifty percent chance of becoming a Level 29 Prime Warrior in the future, and even a fair chance of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, so why wouldn''t that be worth an S-rank contract?"


    ...


    The explanations from President Li and Teacher Fan Jin.


    Li Yuan began to vaguely see the path ahead for himself.


    All the way to becoming a Level 29 Prime Warrior and even a Flying Heaven Warrior, the road ahead seemed clear.


    Of course, Li Yuan didn''t think he would smoothly become a Level 29 Prime Warrior; there were still many challenges ahead.


    President Li''s words could be trusted, but not completely.


    It''s like climbing a mountain; seeing the path ahead and actually reaching the summit are two different things.


    "My predecessors," Li Yuan said, "even if I have potential, why did you come to me first among the four S-ranks?"


    "Because the other three S-ranks are very unlikely to choose one of Xia Country''s five prestigious schools," Fan Jin laughed. "What does it mean to be S-rank? It means a martial arts genius recognized on a global scale."


    "The other three are very likely to choose either Starry Sky University or Starfire University,"


    "We observers understand this, and those students are clearly aware of it, so our motivation to recruit them isn''t that strong."


    "Our five prestigious schools in Xia Country are not bad, but when compared to Starry Sky University, we are indeed weaker," Fan Jin admitted candidly. "Our main targets are actually A-rank students."


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    From what he knew, the top ten scorers in the Jiangbei Province''s college entrance examination almost always went to Starry Sky University or Starfire University.


    This had been the practice for decades.


    "And me?" Li Yuan pressed on.


    President Li and Fan Jin both smiled.


    "Li Yuan, you must understand," President Li said seriously. "First of all, no matter how early a contract is signed, the final university admission is determined by the college entrance examination results."


    "When applying to the top three martial arts universities globally, your ''Youth Hero'' bonus points won''t count; only your Spiritual Nature bonus points... This is the rule set by Dongfang Ji, the strongest person in the world."


    "It''s to block all backdoor operations."


    "Unless you have an unparalleled talent in one area, for example, Fifth Stage skills," President Li explained. "Then, even without a suitable high-rank cultivation method, after verification by the high-levels of the three great Martial Halls, you could gain admission based on a single talent alone.


    But just Fourth Level skills aren''t enough for special admission to Starfire University or Starry Sky University."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Fifth Stage skills? For a high school senior? That would require an extraordinary genius.


    But Li Yuan understood that basing everything on the college examination scores was indeed quite fair, treating everyone equally.


    "Secondly,"


    "Your three talents are all top-notch¡­ but there are many students at Starfire University and Starry Sky University with the same level of top-notch talents," President Li told Li Yuan. "Do you think the administrators of the top three martial arts schools would care whether you succeed in creating a cultivation technique?"


    "Even if you were to succeed in creating a technique and even become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, Starry Sky University and Starfire University wouldn''t care about missing out on you."


    "Throughout history, they have produced many Flying Heaven Warriors," President Li said wistfully. "The one thing they don''t lack is geniuses."


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Indeed, his level of skills was excellent.


    But on a global scale, there were hundreds of his peers just like him.


    "If you choose Kunlun Martial University, besides the absence of a cultivation method, your talents would be among the most top-notch of all the students," Fan Jin said cheerfully. "Kunlun Martial University would then do its utmost to support you in becoming a Prime Warrior and creating a cultivation technique."


    "You would be given priority access to all sorts of precious cultivation resources, a variety of cultivation techniques, and guidance from many high-level Prime Warriors."


    "Even when Flying Heaven Warriors come to give lectures at the school, you would be allowed to attend first," Fan Jin painted a bright picture for Li Yuan. "All of this would be clearly spelled out in the contract."


    Li Yuan pondered.


    He couldn''t get into the top three martial arts schools.


    Therefore, Kunlun Martial Arts University was indeed the best choice for him.


    "Don''t think that Kunlun Martial University is weak,"


    "Dongfang Ji, the strongest person in humanity, is an alumnus of our Kunlun Martial University," President Li said with pride. "Nearly twenty percent of Xia Country''s Flying Heaven Warriors are graduates from Kunlun Martial University."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    His idol was Dongfang Ji, and he was well aware of Dongfang Ji''s legendary journey... from graduation at Kunlun Martial University to reaching the pinnacle of the Martial Path within a mere decade.


    Among the five prestigious schools of Xia Country.


    Kunlun Martial Arts University and Xiaking Martial Arts University are slightly stronger than the other three.


    Weakness is relative to the top three martial arts schools globally.


    "Li Yuan, I''ll send you the S-rank special training contract first," President Li said. "Take a look at it."


    Ding!


    Li Yuan''s smart ring buzzed with a reminder, and when he looked down, there was already an additional document.


    Li Yuan clicked directly and quickly started to review it.


    The content was extensive.


    The resources and rewards were very generous.


    However, Li Yuan remained calm and, after deep thought, realized that the offer wasn''t as good as President Li and Teacher Fan Jin had described.


    The contract had many restrictions; if his progress wasn''t fast enough, subsequent resources and support would diminish, and the overall quality of resources might even degrade.


    But Li Yuan understood.


    Cultivation resources were precious, and if one''s strength wasn''t sufficient, it made no sense to hog them without making good use of them. It would be better to let someone more outstanding have them.


    This was also true for entering Starry Sky University.


    In this era, the entire human civilization faced constant threats to survival.


    Competition was everywhere, and there was no room to be complacent.


    Time passed until Li Yuan flipped through the last page of the contract.


    After waiting another ten seconds and seeing that Li Yuan was still contemplative,


    "Li Yuan, let''s stop here for today. There are still four days," President Li stood up smoothly and said with a smile, "The Martial Arts Universities in Xiaking and South Sea will definitely come to find you too. You can consider your options carefully."


    "Make the choice that''s most beneficial for you."


    "Teacher Fan and I will be leaving now. If you''ve decided, you can reply to me via the invitation letter," he added.


    President Li and Fan Jin walked straight toward the exit of the conference room.


    "Clang~" As the door opened, President Li hadn''t even stepped out yet when,


    "President Li."


    Li Yuan suddenly spoke up: "There''s no need to consider further. I am willing to sign this S-level contract."


    President Li had his back to Li Yuan and did not turn around immediately, but a smile had already appeared on his face.


    He had succeeded by pretending to retreat.


    In his heart, President Li grew even more satisfied with Li Yuan.


    ...


    Within the conference room, both parties completed the electronic signature directly on the smart rings and then submitted the contract for review to the ''Martial Arts Hall'' and ''Education Department.''


    Only two minutes later, the review passed.


    The legally binding electronic contract was sent in real time to Li Yuan''s virtual network personal space.


    "Good!"


    "Li Yuan, welcome to Kunlun Martial Arts University," President Li said with a smile. "Believe me, your decision is far from hasty."


    "This is my personal V account. Come on, add it."


    "Thank you, senior," Li Yuan said with a flattered tone, quickly extending his smart ring to add the personal V account.


    "Still calling me senior?" Fan Jin chuckled. "You should call him President Li."


    "President Li," Li Yuan immediately nodded.


    "It doesn''t matter what you call me," President Li said, in a good mood. "After the entering in July and the department allocation, whether or not you choose the Sixth Institute, you can come to me for anything in the future."


    "When you return to Jiangbei Martial University, if you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask me. I''ll communicate with you when I have time."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, feeling a warmth in his heart.


    Normally, after signing the contract, there was no need for the other party to do this.


    "Additionally," President Li paused before saying: "According to the contract, the first subsidy of one million Blue Star Coins for your cultivation will be in place within a week."


    "But I must remind you."


    "You must reach the national examination score. For the next few months, you can''t slack off in your training," President Li advised. "If your scores fail to reach the national line, we''ll be forced to terminate the contract."


    "Understood," Li Yuan responded solemnly. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The national line for martial arts was the minimum score for the top five prestigious schools.


    According to the contract, if the agreement had to be terminated due to Li Yuan not achieving sufficient examination scores,


    Then, he would not need to return the one million Blue Star Coins.


    ...


    After adding Teacher Fan Jin''s V account, Li Yuan took the initiative to escort President Li and Teacher Fan Jin downstairs.


    Just reaching the doorway,


    Boom!


    A small flying vehicle slowly descended from the sky.


    Two figures ''lightly'' dropped from the seven- or eight-meter high flying vehicle to the ground.


    "President Li? And old Fan?" The leading black-robed middle-aged woman landed gracefully, her face showing surprise.


    Immediately,


    Her gaze then fell on Li Yuan with a bit of hesitation: "Are you Li Yuan?"


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    "This!"


    "Old Li, how did you get here so quickly?" the black-robed woman couldn''t help saying: "Has Li Yuan already signed the special training contract with you?"


    "Sister Liu."


    The bald and burly President Li grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "Sorry to make you come here for nothing, it''s so late, how about we all go for barbecue together? To make it up to you."

 Chapter 73: 71 One Hundred Million Blue Star Coins

    "Li Yuan." The elegant woman in black didn''t pay attention to President Li and looked directly at Li Yuan, "Did you really sign the contract?"


    "Yes." Li Yuan nodded.


    "You''re still young, don''t be deceived by this surnamed Li." The woman in black smiled, "This old guy may smile benignly, but he''s incredibly vicious in battle¡­ Would you be interested in coming to East Sea Martial Arts University? Even if you''ve signed, it doesn''t matter, we can pay the penalty fee for you."


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Penalty fee? Can it really be done that way?


    "Surname Liu, since when is it proper to poach people right on the spot like this?" President Li was not so courteous, "How much do you plan to pay for the penalty fee then?"


    "5 million Blue Star Coins," the woman in black frowned, "Isn''t that the price for the penalty fee of an A-level training contract?"


    President Li and Fan Jin smiled at the same time.


    The corners of Li Yuan''s mouth couldn''t help but reveal a slight curve.


    "President Liu." Teacher Fan Jin said with a smile, his voice gentle, "If you want to sign Li Yuan, aside from needing his agreement, you will also have to pay Kunlun Martial University 50 million Blue Star Coins."


    "50 million?" The woman in black''s face revealed a hint of surprise, "Did you sign an S-level training contract?"


    "What else could it be?" President Li chuckled, "Or are you suggesting that you don''t think Li Yuan is worth an S-level?"


    Whoosh!


    The woman in black instantly turned her head to stare at Li Yuan and couldn''t help but say, "Did you awaken your Martial Spirit?"


    Li Yuan shook his head, "Not yet."


    "Then it''s¡­ your spiritual power?" The woman in black stared at Li Yuan, speculating, "Is your spiritual power talent very high?"


    "Senior has discerning eyes." Li Yuan nodded.


    "No wonder." The woman in black now understood the reason.


    "President Li." The woman in black looked over, "Impressive guts, I admire that. To simply give away one of the two S-level training slots like that."


    "I don''t have guts; I just feel Li Yuan is worth an S-level spot." President Li said with a smile, "Don''t you think Li Yuan is up to the S-level?"


    President Li asked again.


    "I never said that," the woman in black responded indifferently, "You''ve signed him already; there''s no need to provoke further."


    Resources are limited.


    Behind every S-level training slot lies an enormous investment of resources, and naturally, the slots are not infinite.


    For example, for students from Jiangbei Province, for this invitation event, Kunlun Martial University has two S-level training slots, whereas the other four famous schools only have one S-level training slot each.


    The woman in black looked at Li Yuan, her face showing a kind smile, "Li Yuan, work hard on your cultivation. I look forward to the day you become a Prime Warrior, even a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "Thank you, Senior." Li Yuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, knowing that she was not willing to put forth an S-level slot.


    The woman in black turned and left.


    She acknowledged that Li Yuan was excellent, otherwise, she wouldn''t have bothered coming.


    However, she only had one S-level slot at her disposal, and she would have had to pay an additional 50 million penalty fee, which naturally caused hesitation.


    After all, there were already three S-level students, and several more among the top ten elites of the province.


    For instance, students like Wu Luo might not seem as technically skilled as Li Yuan at first glance, but their future prospects were more stable and their potential higher.


    They could be classified as A+ level.


    However, to get them to choose one of the top five prestigious schools for the college entrance examination, an S-level training contract was usually necessary to sign them up.


    ¡­


    After seeing off the leaders from the two Martial Arts Universities, Li Yuan had just gone upstairs to his room.


    "Li Yuan, where did you go? Who was knocking at the door just now?" Gu Qianghan was leisurely eating melon, "I saved two pieces for you."


    "Didn''t do much." Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Ding~ Ding~ The doorbell suddenly rang again.


    ¡­


    Forty minutes later, Li Yuan saw off the last teacher from Polestar Martial Arts University.


    "Polestar, Xiaking, South Sea."


    Gu Qianghan, standing by, was dumbfounded, "Brother, you''re awesome! You''ve just turned down three Martial Arts Universities in one go, and they all offered A-level training contracts."


    "They''re all rushing over right after the cage fight finished, aren''t you satisfied?" Gu Qianghan asked in confusion, "Especially Xiaking Martial Arts University, the terms of the contract they offered were very good."


    "The contract was indeed not bad." Li Yuan chuckled but did not explain further.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Gu Qianghan suddenly realized something and widened his eyes, "Was the very first doorbell ring from Kunlun visitors? Or from East Sea? Did you already sign a training contract?"


    "Xiao Qiang, you''re getting smarter." Li Yuan laughed.


    Shock was written all over Gu Qianghan''s handsome face.


    "I''ve always been smart, and also, call me Gu Qiang." Gu Qianghan sat down on the sofa with a thump, deep in thought, "Did you sign right from the start? That can''t be right; with your Fourth Level skills, you''re definitely worth an A-level contract. Didn''t you want to compare contracts more?"


    Gu Qianghan''s character was capricious and free-spirited; he was not fond of overthinking.


    But he wasn''t dumb, on the contrary, he was very smart, with an exceptionally high level of insight and vision.


    "S-level?" Gu Qianghan thought of a possibility, staring at Li Yuan with some disbelief, "Has a school offered an S-level contract?"


    "What do you think?" Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Goddamn Li Yuan!" Gu Qianghan could not have been clearer, wailing, "S-level, to think that a school offered you an S-level elite training contract on the first day."


    "What did they see in you, huh? Technique? But you don''t have Fifth Stage Spear Technique."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh.


    Having Gu Qianghan as a roommate was actually quite good, at least it wouldn''t be all silent and gloomy.


    Like a living treasure.


    "Li Yuan, do you really not understand the significance of S-level?" Gu Qianghan couldn''t help but say, "S-level, and the even more top-tier SS-level students, get to enjoy a lot of very special resources."


    "There''s an SS-level too?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "Of course, there is."


    Gu Qianghan said as a matter of course, "S-level, while there are a bunch nationwide each year, SS-level... according to my dad, it''s hard to find even one in the whole country in a year, so they don''t make a big deal out of it."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his mind wandering to Yu Jinghe, who might just be a genius of that level.


    "You''re going to be amazing."


    Gu Qianghan said with feeling, "The special resources that S-level and above students can get access to are many that even my dad can''t touch."


    Li Yuan was surprised in his heart.


    Though he had never asked, the signs indicated that Gu Qianghan''s father was at least a powerful Prime Warrior.


    "Can''t buy them with money?" Li Yuan asked subconsciously.


    "If there''s enough money, probably, but it''s not worth it," Gu Qianghan shook his head, "Of course, my dad only mentioned it in passing a few times, I''m not clear on the specifics."


    "According to my dad, an initial S-level elite training spot, if sold, would easily go for one billion Blue Star Coins."


    "Of course, that''s just the initial spot, if you can''t maintain it later on, you''ll be demoted to A-level," Gu Qianghan said, "There''s an evaluation once a year."


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    One billion Blue Star Coins? He knew that S-level spots were precious, but he had no idea they were this valuable.


    No wonder the penalty for breaking the contract was as high as 50 million.


    "Some things can''t be measured with money."


    Gu Qianghan said with a smile, "Li Yuan, before I only thought you were awesome, but now, I truly admire you."


    "Without awakening Martial Spirit, you still made five prestigious schools offer you an S-level elite training contract. There must be hidden depths to you," Gu Qianghan said with a snicker, "No wonder my sister always says to learn from you."

    Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.


    In this world, no one is truly foolish.


    "Then you better study hard, maybe you can also get an A-level elite training spot," Li Yuan teased.


    "No way!"


    "I have no talent at all," Gu Qianghan''s head shook like a rattle-drum, "My grades look decent, but that''s all my dad''s doing, If I had my... let''s not talk about this, getting into one of the top five prestigious schools is enough to satisfy my dad."


    "But you can''t rely on your parents forever, right?" Li Yuan said with a smile, "They''re going to get old someday..."


    "Li Yuan."


    Gu Qianghan gave Li Yuan a sideways glance and said with a smile, "Do you believe that when I''m about to get old and die, my mom and dad can still bring me a bunch of little brothers?"


    Li Yuan was speechless; he understood what Gu Qianghan meant.


    Ordinary people can''t live off their parents forever, but Gu Qianghan... he really could!


    "You signed with Kunlun Martial University, right? My dad also told me to apply there."


    "I can''t count on my sister; she''s probably going to Starry Sky University. We''re like brothers, right? When we get to university, I''ll be counting on you to cover for me," Gu Qianghan lay back down and said leisurely, "In this life, I just want to coast by as a Prime Warrior and lie flat."


    "Relying on parents at home, relying on brothers outside."


    "Sure," Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    He didn''t take the words seriously, knowing well that someone with Gu Qianghan''s connections and background wouldn''t need his help.


    On the contrary, Li Yuan had a vague understanding.


    Today, it was only after revealing his Fourth Level skills and obtaining the S-level elite training contract that he truly made Gu Qianghan want to befriend him from the heart.


    It had nothing to do with Gu Qianghan''s personality but the perspectives they''d been raised with since childhood.


    For these scions of great clans, the only ones they recognized were those from other major clans or real geniuses.


    "I, too, need some friends," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    A hero needs three gangs of fellows.


    Making more friends and connecting with powerful seniors is beneficial for one''s own path of Martial Arts.

 Chapter 74: 72 Mortality Rate 1.2%

    Gu Qianghan went to the rest area.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, took a long spear from the nearby weapon cabinet and began to practice the spear technique.


    Most of today was spent on the move.


    He hadn''t been able to calm down and cultivate.


    "I''ll practice the spear for one hour, then the cultivation methods for two hours," Li Yuan decided. "After that, I''ll cultivate the ''Observing the Great Sun and Stars Technique.''"


    The path of cultivation allows for no relaxation, even for a single day.


    "Others are willing to be friendly towards me and show goodwill, not because I''m handsome with a kind heart," Li Yuan thought very clearly to himself. "It''s because I have enough value."


    To have value is to solidify mutual feelings.


    Not to mention interacting with others; even between parents and children, it is the same.


    "Hu!"


    "Hu!" The long spear moved like a dragon; a casual thrust from Li Yuan could mobilize all the vigor in his body.


    In fact, while practicing with the spear, Li Yuan was also pondering.


    "I''ve signed the contract."


    "For the college entrance exam, as long as I hit the score thresholds of the top five universities, that will be enough?" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He could not say with 100% certainty that he would reach this threshold; therefore, he mustn''t slacken his cultivation.


    "Starfire University." Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Before his senior year, Li Yuan had never even considered Starfire University or Starry Sky University.


    The gap was too great at that time.


    However, people''s ambitions are always changing. After the January mock exams, as his scores improved, Li Yuan occasionally thought about Starfire University.


    "Recognize reality." Li Yuan suddenly swung the long spear, the shaft striking the sandbag forcefully.


    "Beng~" The sandbag erupted with an astonishing boom.


    "Almost a century ago, Dongfang Ji managed to reach the pinnacle of the Martial Path from Kunlun Martial University," Li Yuan reflected. "Good or bad universities do not determine everything."


    Whether it''s high school or university, both are just stages in a martial artist''s journey.


    Not to mention that Kunlun Martial Arts University is not bad at all.


    Even Jiangbei Martial Arts University, where the students'' average talents are much lower, has seen many students transform during their university years. Historically, a large number of Prime Warriors have emerged, and more than one Flying Heaven Warrior was born.


    As for Kunlun Martial University? In terms of the total number of Flying Heaven Warriors, it isn''t far behind Starfire University.


    "Now, the conditions at Kunlun Martial University must be even better than in Dongfang Ji''s time," Li Yuan was filled with ambition.


    "Law Creation? Many predecessors have successfully created new techniques in history."


    "In the future, I too will be able to create laws and become a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    [Your Spear Technique realm has increased from the Fourth Level 2% to the Fourth Level 3%] The Divine Palace panel suddenly flashed a notification.


    ¡­


    The invitations for the second and third days were quite ordinary, with discussions, lectures, and ''one-on-one'' interactions with elite students from Martial Arts Universities.


    There were also some tests, such as Fist Strength and Burst Speed assessments.


    The news of Li Yuan signing with Kunlun Martial University in advance and securing an S-grade contract gradually came to the notice of the observers from the top five universities.


    Some felt it was a pity.


    Others thought Li Yuan was not worth an S-grade contract.


    However, Li Yuan himself was unaware of these opinions.


    The news had not spread among the students.


    After Gu Qiang found out, he only told Lin Lanyue. Both kept it secret, not even letting Wu Dongdong know.


    On the third day, after dinner, thousands of students gathered in a large conference hall.


    "The combat assessment against Star Realm Creatures starts first thing tomorrow morning?"


    "We have to sign a death waiver?"


    "There''s a 1.2% death rate for the combat assessment?" The thousands of elite students burst into an uproar upon hearing the female teacher''s explanation from the main platform.


    "Silence!"


    A deep voice exploded like a bell, instantly suppressing all the chatter.


    The conference room fell completely silent.


    All students looked at the main platform, where next to the female teacher, a tall, burly man clad in a blue Martial Path uniform had appeared.


    Standing over two meters tall with a formidable presence, especially as his icy eyes swept over, very few students dared meet his gaze.


    "A 1.2% death rate makes you panic, afraid?" said the man in blue with an icy tone. "Then, in the future, when you truly venture deep into the Star Realm and have to fight Star Realm Creatures, facing missions with over a 50% death rate, are you going to turn tail and run?"


    The entire conference hall was as silent as a graveyard.


    "A 1.2% death rate?" Li Yuan stood among the crowd, listening quietly.


    He was not afraid of the death rate; he was just a bit surprised.


    After all, they were supposedly here just as students participating in an event.


    Could there be a possibility of death?


    On the stage, a stalwart man in blue nodded to the female teacher, signaling for her to continue. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The location of the combat assessment will remain confidential for the time being."


    The female teacher''s voice was very gentle, "In the combat assessment, the majority of what you''ll face will be unranked Star Realm creatures, with the strongest being only level 12."


    "They have all been carefully selected."


    "Throughout the assessment process, we from Jiangbei Martial University, in cooperation with the military, will protect you all the way, striving for zero casualties."


    "However, it''s a fight to the death with cold weapons."


    "No matter how good the protection is, accidents can still happen, so we don''t mandate that everyone must participate," said the female teacher. "If you are unwilling, then fill out the ''Voluntary Combat Assessment Waiver Form''."


    All the students listened, and only when they heard ''full protection'' did they feel somewhat reassured.


    Hearing that they could opt out, many students started harboring their own thoughts.


    "However."


    The female teacher changed her tone, "Those who do not participate in the combat assessment, or do not meet the minimum requirements during the assessment, will not be eligible for the special training contracts from the five top schools."


    "Moreover, even if you pass the college entrance examination and are admitted into one of the top five schools, you will still need to participate in the combat assessment to get on the special training list and must pass it."


    Whoo~


    A buzz of astonishment swept through the crowd, as most students had not been aware of this regulation before.


    "To be selected for special training, one must go through combat assessments?" Li Yuan was equally surprised.


    "It''s a new rule," Lin Lanyue whispered beside him. "In the past, there were combat assessments, but they weren''t linked to the special training list."


    "The Martial Arts Department just issued the notice; it will officially be implemented this year and hasn''t been publicly announced yet, so it''s normal that it hasn''t spread widely."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    "There will also be corresponding rewards for the combat assessment," the female teacher continued. "The student ranked first in points will be rewarded with 2 million Blue Star Coins."


    "Those ranked 2 to 10 will receive a reward of 500 thousand Blue Star Coins."


    "Those ranked 11 to 100 will receive a reward of 200 thousand Blue Star Coins."


    "For rankings beyond 100, as long as they pass the combat assessment, they will likewise receive a reward of 50 thousand Blue Star Coins."


    Many students'' eyes lit up.


    The rewards for the combat assessment were clearly higher than those for the skills assessment, with the first place receiving a direct reward of 2 million Blue Star Coins.


    Forget the rewards for the top ten.


    Just by meeting the standard, there was at least 50 thousand Blue Star Coins, which was already quite a lot.


    "This is a wide-ranging subsidy," Li Yuan couldn''t help but remark.


    "Those who can participate in the event are all elite students from a province; it''s very normal for a batch of Prime Warriors to emerge in the future," Lin Lanyue said with a soft laugh. "So, having gone to great lengths to invite them here, Jiangbei Martial University will always disburse some money widely to curry favor and leave some goodwill."


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment.


    In a certain sense, this was Jiangbei Martial University''s investment in networking.


    By accepting this reward, one has implicitly accepted a favor from Jiangbei Martial University.


    On the stage.


    "Whether to participate in the combat assessment is for you to decide," said the female teacher. "After returning to your dormitory, you will find the contract documents on the virtual network. You can simply sign to agree or waive in your personal space."


    ...


    Thousands of students filed out of the meeting room in succession, and it was not yet dark.


    "Li Yuan, will you participate?" Lin Lanyue asked.


    "Going," Li Yuan smiled. "I''ve already signed the special training contract; I have to go."


    The day before yesterday, the S-level special training contract I signed clearly stated that I must participate in the combat assessment.


    Not participating would be a breach of contract.


    If I participate but fail the assessment, it''s not a breach of contract, but I would have to retake it upon entry to the school.


    If I fail the assessment twice, my treatment will be reduced.


    "There''s a risk of death; are you not afraid?" Lin Lanyue asked with a teasing tone.


    "Afraid of what? I have an honor title," Li Yuan laughed. "If we''re talking about danger, the last encounter was even more perilous."


    "That''s true," Lin Lanyue smiled sweetly.


    Then she lowered her head, opened the smart bracelet, and clicked on the holographic screen.


    Ding~


    Li Yuan''s smart bracelet immediately vibrated, and looking down, he saw that Lin Lanyue had sent him a video file through V-Chat.


    "What is this?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Never mind, there are too many prying eyes here," Lin Lanyue laughed. "Watch it on the virtual network when you get back, and you''ll understand. See you tomorrow."


    Lin Lanyue left directly.


    Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Li Yuan did not open it and walked towards his dormitory building with Gu Qianghan.

 Chapter 75: March Summary and Beginning of the Month Request for Monthly Ticket

    Outside the book, it''s the battleground of the monthly vote ranking where gods contend for supremacy!!


    For the Start Point monthly vote ranking in April, I hope all the brothers can join me once more in the battle against the gods!

 Chapter 76: 73: First Level Star Realm ‘Moon Demon’ (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    Back in the Martial Arts Room.


    "Gu Qiang, are you going to the combat assessment or not?" Li Yuan asked while drinking water.


    "Ah, I must participate in the battle." G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n sighed, "Yesterday my mom said to me if I don''t pass the combat assessment, when I get back my dad will break my legs."


    Li Yuan laughed.


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n emphasized every day ''my dad wants to beat me up, my mom is not happy with me'', but it was evident that his parents were very caring towards him.


    Because, if parents truly don''t care, a child would only keep it hidden inside.


    "I''m going onto the virtual net first." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Sign the documents."


    "Hmm, I''ll sign also in a moment, come, let''s have some watermelon today."


    ...Consciousness connected.


    He directly entered Jiangbei Martial University''s campus network.


    "Death exemption agreement." Li Yuan browsed through the document, quickly scanning it.


    There were many clauses, but they all boiled down to one sentence, "If you die during the combat assessment, Jiangbei Martial University will compensate with five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins."


    That was it.


    "Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan clicked agree first, then returned to his personal space on the virtual network to complete the electronic signature.


    In his personal space.


    "Combat assessment?" Li Yuan contemplated in silence, "I hope it doesn''t disappoint me."


    Li Yuan decided to participate.


    Firstly, it was to meet the terms of the special training contract from Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    Secondly, the reward of Blue Star Coins.


    "During the skills assessment, the cage melee was divided into six rounds, so I didn''t need to directly compete with Wu Dongdong, Tian Dazhuang, and the others. I took first place quite smoothly," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But the combat assessment? There''s only one first place."


    Winning the two million Blue Star Coins reward was very difficult.


    Not to mention anything else.


    "Wu Dongdong, her spear technique is more sophisticated than mine, and her physical quality reaches as high as 10.5," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Her overall strength is a great deal stronger than mine. The chances of winning against her are very low."


    These past few days, Li Yuan had used the ''Divine Palace Inquiry'' on many students.


    As the number of inquiries increased, Li Yuan also realized that the weaker the opponent''s strength, the less spiritual power was consumed in the inquiry.


    Based on the results of these past few days'' inquiries.


    Li Yuan found that most of the thousands of elite students participating in the event had a physical quality between 8.0 and 8.5.


    Students below 8.0 and those above 9.0 were very rare.


    Physical quality above 10.0? Only Wu Dongdong and Lin Lanyue.


    Next was Wang Yu, at 9.5.


    Tian Dazhuang, perhaps because of his family reasons, had average cultivation resources and only a physical quality of 8.5.


    In other words, Li Yuan''s 8.9 physical quality already put him in the top 5% of all elite students.


    Like Gu Qiang, during the Yuan month''s assessment, his physical quality was close to Li Yuan''s.


    Now it had only reached 8.7, falling behind Li Yuan.


    For the past year and a half, just in terms of the speed of improvement in physical quality, Li Yuan was already considered among the top of Jiangbei Province''s million students.


    "Striving for first place is difficult."


    "But, I must strive to break into the top ten," Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling very hopeful about earning another five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins with effort.


    Money was very important.


    "The martial path cultivation costs for my younger brother and sister will be huge," Li Yuan silently contemplated, "If I want to give them the best conditions all the way to their senior year, several million Blue Star Coins will be far from enough."


    The investment in martial path cultivation, the consumption of money, is never-ending.


    The more, the better.


    Lastly, and most importantly for Li Yuan¡ªspiritual nutrients.


    Li Yuan kept this matter in mind.


    "According to what President Li said, all things have a spiritual nature, I shouldn''t be an exception," Li Yuan mused, "So, the ''Spiritual Awakening Level'' on my Divine Palace panel... does it refer to the ''high-grade spiritual nature'' noted on my Divine Palace panel initially?"


    Is the one I''ve awakened a high-grade spiritual nature? This was Li Yuan''s guess.


    "Last time, before I killed a Star Realm Creature, I first got a prompt, then after killing it, I received 0.6% of the spiritual nutrients."


    "And when I inquired about human martial artists, I didn''t get a prompt for obtaining spiritual nutrients," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Must it be the killing of Star Realm Creatures? It should be!"


    "Does the target need to be Entry Rank life? It''s not confirmed!"


    Li Yuan hadn''t seen any other Star Realm Creatures, lacking a control group.


    "Is this Spiritual Nourishment peeled away and absorbed from the deceased by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­ or is it some kind of mysterious existence rewarding me for killing Star Realm Creatures?" a thought suddenly flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    His strength continued to grow step by step.


    Occasionally, Li Yuan would ponder the origin of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace and the Divine Palace panel.


    Was it a certain special talent of his own?


    Or was it from some indescribable existence? Or the legendary immortals? Gods? Demons?


    All were unknowns.


    "Take it slow, once my strength is greater, I''ll have the chance to understand," Li Yuan thought to himself, "This Combat Assessment is precisely a test."


    Pushing aside these distracting thoughts. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan directly opened another video file sent by Lin Lanyue.


    A hum¡ª the screen lit up, displaying a panoramic projection.


    Standing in place, Li Yuan felt as though he were right there.


    The dim sky featured a high-hanging red moon; dazzling red lights flashed across the sky from time to time, sweeping across the firmament, quite eerie.


    "Is this Blue Star?" Li Yuan wondered.


    As the viewpoint pulled back, mountain ranges rose and fell; wild winds howled, punctuated occasionally by the roar of beasts¡­ At the horizon''s end lay a colossal War Fortress.


    As the camera zoomed out, this rather vast world was laid out before Li Yuan.


    At the same time.


    A voice started to explain, "First Level Star Realm ''Moon Demon Star Realm,'' entrance located at Jiangbei Province''s ''Jiangbei Martial Arts University,'' a fully explored Star Realm bordering the Foreign Civilization ''Moon Demon Civilization''¡­ The maximum diameter of the entire Star Realm is about 2341 kilometers¡­ A forward base has been established, with a garrison controlling and covertly monitoring the entire Moon Demon Civilization."


    "Star Realm purposes, one, secretly lure and capture lifeforms of the Moon Demon Civilization for experimentation."


    "Two, serves as a scientific weapons testing base for the military in a ''high Origin Power environment''."


    "Three, used as a practical Combat Assessment field for students of Jiangbei Martial Arts University."


    Li Yuan watched the video, shocked.


    He understood at once that this was definitely a confidential video.


    The Moon Demon Star Realm? Located at Jiangbei Martial Arts University? As a native of Jiangbei Province, Li Yuan had never heard of it.


    "In Jiangbei Province, there''s only one First Level Star Realm ''Fish Spirit.''" Li Yuan couldn''t help thinking, "The Fish Spirit Star Realm is located at the border of Shi Zhou and Yizhou, more than two thousand kilometers away from Jiang City."


    The Fish Spirit Star Realm, as the name suggests, is the original homeland of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    The entrance to the Fish Spirit Star Realm where it intersects with Blue Star is quite large, and small entrances keep appearing, so Xia Country has never been able to completely seal it off.


    Fish Spirit Clan invasions occur frequently.


    This is also why for decades, many cities along the banks of the Xiang River have been under constant attack from Star Realm Creatures.


    Fortunately.


    The Fish Spirit Star Realm is only a ''First Level Star Realm'', and the invaders are only First Rank creatures that can only launch small-scale attacks, not fatal to Jiangbei Province.


    "So, there''s another Star Realm here at Jiangbei Martial Arts University?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    According to high school textbooks, Star Realms are spatial intersections between human civilization and Alien Civilizations.


    Even though, according to the video''s description, the Moon Demon Star Realm has been controlled by human civilization, extremely safe.


    But who can guarantee that absolutely?


    Any Star Realm is a potential super volcano waiting to erupt.


    "No wonder Jiangbei Martial Arts University is a military base, no wonder they''ve built a War Fortress," all sorts of thoughts flashed through Li Yuan''s mind: "Probably, it''s to seal off the Star Realm entrance instantly in case of any accidents."


    Many ideas flashed through Li Yuan''s mind, and he had to admit.


    Lin Lanyue''s background was indeed impressive; she could get her hands on such a video.


    Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Li Yuan continued to watch.


    "Today, we will focus on the third point, regarding the Combat Assessment field," the video''s narration voice continued: "This is the latest detailed explanation of 2043."


    "Below are introductions to the Combat Assessment terrain, the distribution of Alien Race creatures, body structures, and common combat methods¡­"


    "Moon Demon lifeforms are mostly beast-like, with their adult bodies generally around Level 8, but they have relatively low intelligence, generally equivalent to that of a 6-year-old human¡­ However, Sky-Flying Level Lifeforms have also been born, able to slowly absorb the Origin Power emitted by the ''Moon Demon''¡­ Second Rank Moon Demon Warriors, with their intelligence elevated to that of a 12-year-old human¡­"


    "The majority of Moon Demon lifeforms have body shapes close to ''wolves,'' with skin primarily black and red, and scales growing on the waist and abdomen¡­ Their bodily weak points are¡­"


    "In the Combat Assessment field, the distribution of Moon Demon lifeforms is¡­"

    Li Yuan listened quietly.


    The entire video was very long, lasting a full 22 minutes.


    "Note, this file is confidential and is for the internal viewing of Jiangbei Martial Arts University only, and must not be leaked." The video ended there.


    Li Yuan closed his eyes and silently recalled.


    He then clicked to start over, observing again, mostly at a fast-forward pace, but revisiting a few sections several times... until he confirmed he had remembered all the information in the video.


    His strong mental power gifted Li Yuan with an exceptional memory.


    "Delete source file."


    "Delete chat history."


    "Delete local network records." Li Yuan performed a three-fold deletion, eradicating the evidence.


    Of course, there would certainly be traces left on the virtual network.


    But with Li Yuan''s novice level, this was all he could manage.


    "If someone really wanted to investigate, why even bother with the strict secrecy?" Li Yuan mumbled to himself, "Besides, it''s only a secret of Jiangbei Martial University, not a state military secret."


    Li Yuan figured that as long as he didn''t distribute it himself, even if it was discovered, the impact should not be significant.


    "However, it seems somewhat unethical to have watched this video in advance," Li Yuan murmured.


    It wasn''t as if he had directly copied the answers.


    But it was like knowing the scope and types of questions for a test in advance, which would naturally lower the difficulty.


    "But, if Lin Lanyue could get her hands on the video, then people like Wu Dongdong could probably do the same," Li Yuan shook his head.


    Li Yuan was no moral saint, and this was just a combat assessment, not a university entrance exam.


    "Given the current situation, I might as well make good use of this informational advantage."


    "I''m not aiming for the top spot, but I''ll try to take down a few more Star Realm Creatures and see if I can push my Spiritual Nature to 10% in one go," Li Yuan determined silently.


    Exiting the virtual network.


    Li Yuan stepped out of the rest area, took out his long spear, and continued his Martial Path training for the day.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, do you ever rest? Training again?"


    Gu Qianghan, holding a can of cola, walked out of the therapy room.


    He stared at Li Yuan, gobsmacked, "I haven''t seen you take a day off in the last four days."


    "You''re already training at four in the morning."


    "You train for another two hours after lunch."


    "When you come back in the evening, you train until midnight, can your body handle it?" Gu Qianghan couldn''t help but say, "You really are a monster!"


    "I don''t have high-rank Cultivation Methods, so how can I catch up to others without training?" Li Yuan responded with a smile.


    "I''m impressed."


    Gu Qianghan gave a thumbs-up, sincerely saying, "In the past, my dad told me that real supreme fighters, like Dongfang Ji, train at least sixteen hours a day."


    "I never believed it, thinking it was Dongfang Ji hyping himself up after he became famous," Gu Qianghan said casually.


    Li Yuan: "..."


    "Having seen you, I believe it now."


    "But don''t you have any hobbies or fun?" Gu Qianghan looked at Li Yuan, "Training is so tiring, how do you keep it up?"


    "Hobbies?" Li Yuan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Why would training be tiring? Isn''t it a joy to watch oneself improve bit by bit?"


    "If I really had to say a hobby..." Li Yuan said with a laugh, "training is my hobby."


    Perhaps, when Li Yuan first started practicing with the spear and cultivating, it was tedious and painful.


    But as time passed, if one couldn''t adapt to this lifestyle, if one couldn''t find passion in the tedium, then even if one persisted reluctantly, progress would be slow.


    Passion is the best teacher.


    Nowadays, Li Yuan truly enjoyed the process of gradually becoming stronger through training.


    "Training? A hobby?" Gu Qianghan fell silent for a while, then suddenly sighed, "Li Yuan, honestly, you''d be quite suited to being my dad''s son."


    "My dad would definitely like you."


    "How about I introduce you to my dad and make you his godson?" Gu Qianghan seemed somewhat reluctant as he spoke, "I might as well reluctantly take you as my sworn younger brother."


    "Come on, call me ''brother'' and let me hear it."


    "Get lost, brat!"


    ...


    Perhaps influenced by Li Yuan.


    Gu Qianghan, who usually trained for only an hour at night, unusually trained for an extra 10 minutes.


    ...


    The next day, to ensure he had plenty of energy for the combat assessment, Li Yuan did not rise early to practice with the spear.


    He lay in bed and slept for two hours.


    For over a year, this was the first time Li Yuan had laid in bed to sleep, but perhaps because his spirit was too strong, the quality of his sleep was quite average.


    "It seems that as my strength grows stronger, there will come a day in the future when even simple sleep may become a luxury," Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    ... After eating breakfast sometime past six in the morning.


    Assemble at seven. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On a playground not far from the War Fortress, over a thousand students gathered.


    Dozens of Jiangbei Martial University students, grouped in threes, were gradually checking the identity information of each student.


    There were also dozens of Jiangbei Martial University teachers and military base officers standing in the distance.


    Professor Ming was there too.


    "Very good," the burly man from yesterday, still in blue, said with a cold voice that echoed across the playground, "There are 976 of you willing to participate in the combat assessment. I am proud of your decision."


    "What is Martial Path? The Path of Killing! How can one claim to follow the Martial Path without killing?"


    "What does the nation train Martial Artists for?" the burly man''s voice thundered: "To kill the enemy! To protect the country!"


    "If we''re to speak grander, Martial Artists are the sharpest blades of human civilization."


    "When the Combat Saber is drawn, it''s meant to draw blood."


    "You are all elite students from the province; from the first year of junior high to senior high, you''ve practiced for six years, and your strengths have all approached that of an Entry Rank Martial Artist. Some may even be on par with Entry Rank Martial Artists."


    The burly man''s voice was robust: "I hope that six years of cultivation, numerous simulated battles on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, and countless physical confrontations at school have prepared you well."


    "I wish you all, to complete the assessment and come back alive."


    "Collect your equipment and depart!"


    ...


    Inside the armory, students collected their equipment in order.


    "Li Yuan, this is for you: a full set of First Rank lower-grade body protection clothing, First Rank lower-grade soft armor, First Rank boots, and a helmet." This junior student handed over the protective gear box to Li Yuan: "Try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn''t, come back and exchange."


    "This is your exclusive positioning ring watch. At the assessment location, your smart ring watch will have no signal."


    "The positioning ring watch has few functions, only crucial ones like positioning, calling for help, and monitoring your life signs," the junior student advised, "But its biggest feature is that it''s very durable."


    "Durable?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "Unless it''s a Second Rank creature''s strike, it absolutely won''t break," the junior student said with a smile: "You should know, the more precise, the easier it is to damage."


    "The simpler it is, sometimes the more durable."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask, "Produced in Ross Country?"


    "Smart, the original is developed by the military of Ross Country! This is our imitation... iterated product; cough, cough, it''s cheaper and performs better," the junior student said, grinning.


    Li Yuan was speechless, holding the protective gear box and entering the changing room next door.


    ...


    Having changed into his new gear, Li Yuan felt that it fit very well and was comfortable.


    The body protection clothing in no way hindered bodily flexibility.


    Clearly, with over a hundred years of war as a test, the equipment for Martial Artists had only gotten better.


    "First Rank lower-grade body protection clothing is made of materials that are sufficiently strong, flexible, and do not restrict movement," Gu Qianghan, who had also changed, said with a smile while standing to the side: "It can withstand attacks from Level 11 Martial Artists without breaking."


    "Like a First Rank medium-grade, it can withstand attacks from Level 15 Martial Artists."


    "First Rank upper-grade body protection clothing is enough to withstand attacks from Level 19 Martial Artists," said Gu Qianghan, who knew these details by heart.


    Li Yuan listened; he was not very familiar with this Martial Artist equipment, having never considered killing Star Realm Creatures before university.


    "However, the body protection clothing has its weaknesses," Gu Qianghan said: "It''s durable against tearing and biting, but it isn''t hard enough to withstand impact forces well."


    "That''s why we wear an extra layer of soft armor and helmets," he continued: "It gives extra protection to important organs in the torso and the head without greatly impacting bodily flexibility. When facing Star Realm Creatures with lower levels of civilization, in an equal rank confrontation, we Martial Artists, armed with weapons, have a very large advantage."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; he had seen many documentaries.


    Most Star Realm Creatures in various Star Realms had very low levels of civilization.


    "It will be different once you become a Prime Warrior," Gu Qianghan said excitedly: "Second Rank Battle Garments, namely the Origin Power Battle Suit, must be activated with Origin Power. They''re not only durable but also significantly dampen various impact forces, truly unafraid of heat-based weapons..."


    "You know so much," Li Yuan remarked.


    "Of course," Gu Qianghan said, more excited: "I''m a military and equipment enthusiast."


    Feeling accomplished in his role as ''teacher'' to Li Yuan, Gu Qianghan was quite pleased.


    "It''s just that your strength isn''t quite there," Li Yuan said earnestly.


    "Damn it!" Gu Qianghan felt depressed: "Weren''t we supposed to be brothers?"


    ...


    "Weapons." Li Yuan took his time picking out weapons in the armory.


    In the end, he chose a black long spear over two meters, along with a half-meter short sword and a dagger.


    Holding the long spear in hand, he placed the dagger at his waist.


    The short sword was kept in the weapon pouch strapped to his soft armor.


    This was to ensure he had short-range weapons in case he accidentally lost the long spear.


    As a Fourth Level expert, even with unfamiliar weapons, he could wield more power than a Third Stage martial artist at the peak of Perfection.


    ...


    Once everything was ready, all the students entered an inconspicuous large building in order.


    Following, they went down into the building''s basement.


    The basement revealed a different world, incredibly spacious¡ªit was a massive underground subway station.


    Several fully enclosed trains with their doors wide open had already been waiting for a while.

 Chapter 78: 75: Killing for Spiritual Nature Nourishment (Third update, seeking monthly pass)

    "Subway station?"


    "Such a huge underground space, it kind of resembles a high-speed rail platform."


    "From the surface, you can''t tell at all that underneath has been hollowed out, can you?" The majority of the students who walked down were shocked.


    Having watched the introduction video about the Moon Demon Star Realm, Li Yuan had many speculations in his mind.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan looked towards Lin Lanyue not far away.


    Lin Lanyue, similarly dressed in black soft armor and a protective garment, was tall and striking.


    Feeling Li Yuan''s gaze, Lin Lanyue turned her head to look, shook her head slightly, and gestured that there was no need for further words.


    "Follow the sequence number from earlier, and board the train in order," a nearby military officer stated in a deep voice.


    Li Yuan boarded the train, his peripheral vision sweeping across the distance.


    Professor Ming, as well as those teachers and officers who were Martial Artists of the Second Rank, all stood far away.


    It seemed they had no intention of boarding the train.


    ...


    The train moved along, completely enclosed, the windows opaque.


    This made it impossible for Li Yuan and the others to see the outside.


    If not for the faint trembling of the carriage, they wouldn''t even have been aware of the train''s motion.


    In each carriage, there were about 50 students standing in two rows, guarded by two Martial Artist officers, one at each end.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh~" Light converged on the front and back of the carriage and on the glass sides, forming projection screens.


    In the projections, the burly, blue-clothed figure reappeared.


    "Now, I will announce the rules for the combat assessment," the burly man said in a deep voice. "First, the assessment will take place at a special military base. Entry and exit are strictly confined, and no one is permitted to inquire or divulge any information regarding the assessment area. Violators will be considered ''spies.''"


    Many students showed shock at the announcement.


    Spying?


    "Second, during the assessment, fratricide is prohibited. The entire assessment area is under surveillance," the burly man said coldly. "Violators will receive the death penalty."


    The shock on many students'' faces intensified. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, felt a slight movement inside. The first two rules were all about ''punishment.''


    Was this a warning issued beforehand?


    "Third, all Star Realm Creatures are under constant monitoring. Thus, as long as you kill them, the Points will be tallied in real time on the leaderboard, and there''s no need to collect any token. You can check the rankings anytime on the positioning ring."


    "Fourth, Star Realm Creatures below level 10 are each worth 1 point, level 10-11 Creatures are worth 10 points; level 12 Creatures are worth 50 points... If you encounter Star Realm Creatures above level 12, it is recommended to immediately flee and call for assistance."


    "Fifth, 5 Points are needed to pass the assessment."


    "Sixth, in case of danger, you may choose to call for assistance. Attack drones will arrive within 30 seconds... but that also signifies the end of the assessment, and Points will be halved, so measure your capabilities accordingly."


    "Seventh, the assessment starts at nine o''clock sharp and continues until four in the afternoon, a total of seven hours."


    ...


    After the rules were explained, the projections disappeared and the train continued on, not long after.


    Quite abruptly.


    Buzz~ Li Yuan suddenly felt a slight pain in his brain, as if being continuously pricked by a needle, involuntarily clenching his teeth.


    However, for Li Yuan, this level of pain was nothing compared to the torture of practicing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.


    Meanwhile.


    Boom~ Around his body, it was as if an invisible force was squeezing him, similar to the resistance from all directions when entering water, becoming increasingly uncomfortable.


    "Ah!" Some students had pained expressions on their faces, their faces flushed red and veins bulging as if they were in unspeakable agony.


    "Thump~"


    "Bang~" Many students couldn''t help but drop to one knee, trying to alleviate the sudden pressure.


    "Relax," the voice of a Martial Artist officer reached their ears. "This is your first experience, it will be over in twenty seconds."


    Ten seconds later.


    "Boom!" It was as though their heads, first submerged underwater, were suddenly lifted back to the surface, breathing in fresh air once again.


    Including Li Yuan, all the students felt an unprecedented sense of relief, gasping for air.


    "Is it over? Just now, we must have gone through the space where the Moon Demon Star Realm and Blue Star interconnect," Li Yuan thought relatively calmly, scanning his surroundings.


    He noticed that aside from Lin Lanyue, who was just a bit pale,


    "Whew!" the other students were slumped on the ground, gasping for air, some barely able to grip their weapons.


    "What are your names, you two?" The officer at the end of the train asked curiously. "Have you been here before?"


    "Reporting, no sir," Li Yuan replied seriously. "My name is Li Yuan."


    "Never been," Lin Lanyue said indifferently.


    "Hmm," the officer smiled. "Both of you are promising young seedlings. Good luck to you."


    Several minutes later.


    "Next stop, get ready to disembark," the officer at the front of the carriage instructed, and soon the train came to a slow stop.


    The carriage doors opened.


    Li Yuan and the others got off the train one after another, looking around to see the dimly lit sky. It was a spacious docking point, akin to a huge playground with a metallic ground. In the distance were massive War Fortresses towering over two hundred meters tall.


    Nearby, dozens of small aircraft were parked.


    Students from each carriage were disembarking.


    "Look up at the sky!"


    "A red moon?"


    "So eerie!"


    "We were clearly underground just minutes ago, how did we travel here so quickly? Did we go through a portal?"


    "And those War Fortresses? This feels like a whole other world; moons don''t look like this."


    "Those mountains are so tall, and the plants, I''ve never seen any of them before," Li Yuan heard the whisperings of astonishment from other students around him.


    Having anticipated this, Li Yuan immediately saw the red moon in the sky.


    No, to be precise, it''s akin to a combination of the moon and the sun.


    In Li Yuan''s field of vision, it was twice as large as the sun, but not as dazzling, with a faint, blurry halo around its edges.


    The whole world seemed to be on the verge of dusk, rather hazy.


    Streams of strange red light occasionally surfaced and streaked across the sky.


    "Is this the Moon Demon Star Realm?" Li Yuan silently experienced it.


    He felt that the environment, while slightly different from Blue Star, had many important indicators such as gravity and air quality that seemed to be not much different.


    In fact.


    Apart from students like Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue who had foreknowledge of the situation, the other students were not fools and had mostly conceived guesses in their minds.


    But out of fear of the first and second rules, they dared not ask more.


    "In order, board the aircraft," hundreds of military officers stood everywhere, maintaining order and monitoring every student.


    In the sky, there were also combat drones.


    Not far away, there were teams of patrolling combat robots, highly vigilant.


    "These officers." With a thought, Li Yuan glanced around, casting the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    [Target person, Life Level is 18.8.]


    [Target person, Life Level is 16.2.]


    [Target person, Life Level is 17.1.]


    ¡­


    Li Yuan selected three high-ranking officers and found that not one of them had a Life Level over 20.0.


    There were no Second Rank Prime Warriors!


    This reminded him of Professor Ming and those Prime Warriors, none of whom seemed to have boarded the train.


    "Could it be," a bold guess suddenly emerged in Li Yuan''s mind, "that life forms above Second Rank cannot enter the Moon Demon Star Realm?"


    Is this the difference between First Level and Second Level Star Realms?


    ¡­


    Every twenty students boarded a small aircraft, which then took off at high speed immediately after.


    Rumble~


    Inside the aircraft, Li Yuan fastened his seatbelt, and as usual, sat opposite Lin Lanyue, waiting for the command.


    Two officers maintained order, and after more than ten minutes.


    "Buzz~" Suddenly the aircraft door opened, and a fierce wind rushed inside.


    "Li Yuan, down!" a tall and lean officer said in a low voice.


    After unfastening the seatbelt, Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue exchanged glances, then took their long spears to the door, looked down, and saw that the aircraft was about three meters above the ground.


    Whoosh!


    He jumped down and landed lightly.


    "Rumble~" The aircraft door closed, and the small aircraft quickly ascended and left.


    On this hillside, only Li Yuan was left.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan looked up to see a small black dot in the sky, a hundred meters high, a combat drone.


    It seemed to be there to protect him personally.


    "It''s 8:45 now." Li Yuan looked down at his positioning wristband, "The official start at 9:00?"


    Li Yuan observed the surroundings; he was on the mountainside of a range, with rugged rocks and sparse trees, fairly open.


    "Based on yesterday''s materials."


    "The entire combat assessment area is 100 kilometers long and wide," Li Yuan''s gaze swept over.


    "My location."


    Finally, Li Yuan saw the landmark solitary mountain ''Blade Mountain'' in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face: "I''m in the southeastern area, very good."


    "I should be less than five kilometers away from the ''Moon Demon Wolf Pack No. 5'' territory."


    "Waiting for the command."


    ¡­


    Fifteen minutes later.


    "The combat assessment begins!" the positioning wristband instantly relayed the reminder.


    "Depart." Li Yuan, holding his long spear, immediately headed towards his destination.


    Want to kill more Moon Demon creatures?


    Apart from being strong enough, one also needs to find their gathering spot!


    ¡­


    In the Moon Demon Star Realm, at the highest point of the War Fortress, in a very spacious conference room, there were densely packed monitoring screens overhead.


    "Initiate ''Absolute Protection'' for the 18 A-level and above students," a burly officer said in a deep voice, "Ensure there are no mistakes."


    "For the other students, do everything possible to ensure their safety as well."


    "Yes!"


    ¡­


    In a mountain ravine with a great depth disparity, Li Yuan was walking.


    "Ao~" "Howl~" Suddenly, three enormous Moon Demon creatures sprung out from a corner.


    They, covered in pitch-black, stood over one meter tall, at least two meters in length, with tails nearly one meter long, resembling the ''wolves'' of Blue Star in appearance, yet their size was closer to that of a ferocious tiger, with scarce hair and dense scales covering their bodies instead.


    The most notable feature was their eyes, crimson, shining with intelligence, enough to cause one''s heart to tremble.


    "After several kilometers, I finally encounter three Moon Demon wolves," Li Yuan stopped, holding his long spear, and stared at the three Moon Demon wolves.


    No fear, only excitement.


    "[Target creature, Life Level is 8.2, defeating it will yield Spiritual Nature nutrients]" Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry on one of them and couldn''t help but smile, "Very good."

    ps: I''ve read many comments from you guys, and I''m very touched. Thank you for the support! Although it''s still the free period, I''m still adding an extra chapter for a total of three chapters in a burst!!


    Please support with the monthly tickets!!

 Chapter 79: 76 Slaughter, Promotion

    "[Target creature, Life Level at 7.8, exterminating it can grant Spiritual Nutrients]"


    "[Target creature¡­]" Li Yuan didn''t dare to be negligent and expended his spiritual power to quickly conduct an inquiry on the other two Moon Demons.


    The results of the inquiries were similar, and Li Yuan''s heart steadied.


    "This matches the intelligence provided by Lin Lanyue exactly; adult Moon Demon wolves are around Level 8.0," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Once they reach Entry Rank, their body hair will gradually turn red."


    Moon Demon creatures, primarily Moon Demon wolves, according to the intelligence, are a major species within the Moon Demon Civilization.


    Unranked, their fur and skin are black.


    After entering the rank and as they absorb more and more of the Moon Demon''s Origin Power, they will gradually turn ''red.''


    Once completely red, that signifies a Second Rank Moon Demon wolf.


    At this moment, as Li Yuan sensed the aura of the three Moon Demon wolves, he involuntarily felt a hint of revulsion.


    "Awooo~"


    "Roar!!" The three Moon Demon wolves, with their bodies slightly crouched and with fierce eyes intently focused on Li Yuan, were filled with the intent to kill.


    They possessed a high level of intelligence, and in their perception, the creature before them, one that they found ''disgusting'' and whose aura clashed starkly with theirs, made them extremely uncomfortable.


    However, the life aura it emitted didn''t seem very strong.


    Three against one, they had a chance of victory!


    The next instant.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The three Moon Demon wolves suddenly launched an attack, barking furiously at Li Yuan, and like three black phantoms, they lunged toward him to kill.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan didn''t retreat but advanced, moving like a swimming dragon, easily dodging their onslaught.


    Following that, the 2.4-meter-long black long spear in Li Yuan''s hand swung fiercely.


    The spear danced, thrusting forward venomously like a snake.


    "Puchi~"


    "Puchi!" "Bang~" In an instant, the jaws of the three Moon Demon wolves were all pierced by the spearhead. Their massive bodies, still carrying the momentum, charged forward for more than ten meters before finally crashing heavily to the ground.


    Blood splattered.


    The bodies of the three Moon Demon wolves convulsed several times before finally coming to a halt.


    "[You have slain an Unranked creature, obtaining Spiritual Nutrient, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 0.7%]"


    "[You¡­ Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 0.8%]"


    "[¡­Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 0.9%]" The Divine Palace panel flashed with three notifications in succession.


    "Drip~plop~"


    The blood on the spearhead dripped down onto the withered wood, splashing about.


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, and the last trace of tension in his heart completely dissipated.


    He gripped the long spear in his hand even tighter.


    Scenes of practicing the spear and punching from junior high school flashed through Li Yuan''s memory.


    And the thousands of battles on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Just as that sturdy man in blue said, six years of preparation were for this very moment.


    "Last time killing members of the Fish Spirit Clan was a sudden encounter," Li Yuan mused, "Today, I am fully prepared."


    Li Yuan looked down at the three dead Moon Demon wolves.


    They were the first batch of Star Realm Creatures that Li Yuan had killed in the true sense of the word.


    "Martial Path is, indeed, a path of Slaughter!" murmured Li Yuan, his understanding of this phrase growing deeper.


    After quickly regaining his composure.


    "Unranked, each kill increases Spiritual Nutrients by 0.1%?" Li Yuan''s eyes scanned the Divine Palace panel and he thought, "By that calculation, to reach the upper limit requirement of 20%, I need to kill 200?"


    That seems tough.


    How many Star Realm Creatures had the military base released altogether into the entire test area? Most importantly, they are hard to find.


    Besides, as time goes by and with nearly a thousand students proceeding with the slaughter, the number of living Moon Demon wolves will grow less and less.


    "Every one I can kill counts," Li Yuan thought, "Star Realm Creatures aren''t as hard to kill as I imagined."


    Li Yuan understood that this had a lot to do with the information provided by Lin Lanyue.


    He had learned the weak points of the Moon Demon wolves ahead of time.


    "Points +3." Li Yuan glanced at the record in the positioning bracelet:


    Assessment Points: 3


    Points Ranking: 8


    Note: Minimum requirements for Combat Assessment not yet met.


    ...


    Li Yuan walked through the mountains and forests, following the guidance from the video, continuously heading towards the gathering place of the Moon Demon Wolf Pack No. 5.


    Along the way.


    Whether from behind or within the woods, Moon Demon wolves occasionally popped out and charged at Li Yuan.


    But none were a match for Li Yuan.


    Under a large rock, a black shadow flashed towards Li Yuan like lightning.


    "Puchi!"


    The shadow of the spear was fleeting, instantly penetrating the head of the Moon Demon wolf. The spearhead swiftly retracted like lightning, and the huge wolf corpse fell heavily to the ground, motionless.


    Blood gradually flowed out.


    "That''s the eleventh one," Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the massive wolf carcass. "This Moon Demon Wolf, judging by its speed, it''s probably exceeded level 9.0, it unexpectedly increased my Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.3%."


    Having killed so many Moon Demon Wolves, Li Yuan gradually discovered.


    That killing Unranked Star Realm Creatures didn''t always increase it by 0.1%; the stronger the Moon Demon Wolf killed, the greater the increase.


    "I hope I''ll encounter an Entry Rank Moon Demon Wolf soon," Li Yuan thought with great anticipation.


    In terms of Physical Quality, Li Yuan was at 8.9 level.


    As for skills, even more so at the Fourth Level.


    After gradually getting used to life and death battles,


    It could be said that the Unranked Moon Demon Wolves posed no challenge to Li Yuan.


    Sophisticated skills, coupled with equipment assistance, allowed Li Yuan to easily overmatch in battles.


    ...


    At eleven-thirty in the morning, at the core area of the Moon Demon Wolf pack number 5 gathering place.


    Within the dense jungle, boulders stood erect, incessant roars of Moon Demon Wolves filled the air, fueled by anger and accompanied by the sounds of numerous wolves rushing about.


    Swish!


    A burly figure, extremely agile, wielding a sword and shield, was frantically darting amongst the rocks, with the blade''s flash occasionally driving back a Moon Demon Wolf, but struggled to inflict damage.


    Hum¡ªa combat drone hovered silently dozens of meters high in the sky, ready to plummet down and rescue at a moment''s notice.


    "Damn it!"


    "Damn it!" Dong Haifeng clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with a trace of fear: "Just killed a few wolf pups, how did it provoke so many Moon Demon Wolves?"


    "And those two bastards, seeing the situation turn bad, actually ran away first."


    It was Li Yuan''s schoolmate¡ªDong Haifeng.


    Looking quite disheveled.


    "I only have 8 Points now, if I choose to call for help, the score will be halved, leaving only 4 points," Dong Haifeng thought resentfully, but felt helpless. Alone, with his strength, killing an adult Moon Demon Wolf wasn''t difficult.


    However, there were simply too many Moon Demon Wolves now.


    "Ao~"


    "Roar!" As time passed, more and more Moon Demon Wolves joined the pursuit.


    The speed of the Moon Demon Wolves was already fast.


    Suddenly.


    "Roar~" An angry growl, followed by a blurry red figure sweeping across the distant mountains, darting over like a black and red phantom.


    Its speed was astonishing.


    "An Entry Rank Moon Demon Wolf?" Dong Haifeng recognized it at a glance, his face drastically changed, and he subconsciously wanted to call for help.


    Failing the assessment meant a loss of fifty thousand Blue Star Coins.


    That was better than losing one''s life.


    Right at that moment.


    "Boom!" From another direction in the Dark Valley, a black figure suddenly burst out, its speed also remarkable, and it charged directly at the massive leader of the Moon Demon Wolves.


    "Li Yuan?" Dong Haifeng recognized the face of the black figure, couldn''t help but anxiously shout, "Be careful! Retreat, it''s an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature..."


    He didn''t like Li Yuan, but that was limited to the kind of dislike among schoolmates.


    He didn''t want to see Li Yuan die.


    Suddenly, Dong Haifeng''s voice caught in his throat, his eyes filled with shock.


    "Puchi~"


    "Clang!" Li Yuan, as if deaf to the calls, wielded his Long Spear and had already collided head-on with the charging leader of the Moon Demon Wolves. The two clashed instantly.


    The clash was too quick.


    Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, moved like a dragon, his speed notably slower than the Moon Demon Wolf leader, yet easily avoided the attack.


    After dodging the claws twice in a row, Li Yuan''s spear seemed to burst forth like a dragon, whooshing and thrusting violently.


    "Puchi!"


    The tip of the spear, dragon-like, with tremendous twisting force, pierced directly into the waist of the Moon Demon Wolf through the gap in its scales, blood splattered.


    "Ao~" The Moon Demon Wolf leader howled in pain, its front limbs hitting the ground, its hind limbs flicking its tail, as it tried to jump away and increase the distance from the spear.


    "Die."


    Li Yuan followed through by retracting the spear and stepping forward, his spear gathering force for another ferocious thrust.


    This time, with the massive body of the Moon Demon Wolf leader in mid-air and nowhere to use it for leverage, its fierce eyes could only watch as the spear approached. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Puchi!"


    The Long Spear instantly pierced the skin and thrust into the creature''s throat, reaching its head.


    A fatal blow!


    "Boom~" The massive body of the Moon Demon Wolf leader crashed down, slamming hard into a boulder, struggling feebly.


    "[You''ve killed an Entry Rank creature, obtained Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 5.7%]" the Divine Palace panel flashed a prompt.


    "Roar~"


    "Ao~" The twenty or so Moon Demon Wolves that were initially chasing Dong Haifeng suddenly stopped, staring at Li Yuan with utter terror.


    Their strong leader had been killed.


    Li Yuan retracted his spear, glanced over at Dong Haifeng''s shocked face, and with a slight smile said, "Dong Haifeng, what a coincidence."


    "Killed an Entry Rank demon wolf with just two spears?" Dong Haifeng swallowed subconsciously, staring at Li Yuan in utter shock: "Is Li Yuan''s combat, this strong?"

 Chapter 80: 77: 10% Awakening Level, First Trigger (With Announcement)

    Without waiting for Dong Haifeng''s response.


    "Roar~" Two larger Moon Demon wolves in the pack suddenly growled, paying no attention to Dong Haifeng, and abruptly turned around to start fleeing.


    "Howl~" "Howl~" Other Moon Demons also frantically followed in retreat.


    These Moon Demons were bloodthirsty, but they were not stupid.


    "Want to leave?"


    "These are all points, stay for me." Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed, his legs instantly exerted force, and his strong thighs fiercely stepped on a huge rock, leaping several meters high and darting out, turning into a phantom chasing after the Moon Demon wolves.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" Spears shadows were continuous, and the long spear in Li Yuan''s hand seemed alive, suddenly bursting forth with incredible power.


    "Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~" One after another, the Moon Demon wolves were caught up by Li Yuan, followed by their heads being directly pierced by the long spear and killed.


    As an Entry Rank weapon, the long spear in Li Yuan''s hands was extremely sharp, with sufficient hardness and toughness.


    In just over ten seconds.


    Li Yuan had killed nearly ten of the more than twenty fleeing Moon Demon wolves, and the rest had scattered and fled early, frantically circling around the ravines and forests, disappearing from Li Yuan''s sight.


    Across the hundred-meter jungle wasteland, wolf corpses lay scattered, blood splattered, a shock to the eye.


    "They actually took the initiative to run?" Li Yuan mumbled to himself as he stopped the pursuit.


    Boom!


    A few more seconds passed, and Dong Haifeng, panting, ran up to Li Yuan''s side, and couldn''t help saying, "Li Yuan, thanks."


    "Thanks for what?" Li Yuan smiled.


    "You saved me," Dong Haifeng said earnestly.


    "I should thank you," Li Yuan replied lightly with a smile, "for leading them over here, otherwise I would have had to spend some effort looking for them."


    Dong Haifeng was startled.


    "Hmm?" Out of the corner of his eye, Li Yuan glanced at the positioning bracelet, where the Combat Assessment data had already updated:


    Points: 46


    Ranking: 1


    Note: The Combat Assessment goal has been reached.


    ¡ª¡ª


    "That Moon Demon wolf just now was level 10.8, and killing it gave me 10 points?" Li Yuan''s mouth curled into a smile as he thought to himself, "Good, I''ve finally climbed back to first place."


    With the information provided by Lin Lanyue and Li Yuan''s own strength, his points soared continuously.


    However, each time he reached the top, he would quickly be caught up by ''Wu Dongdong''.


    "Wu Dongdong, 42 points?" Li Yuan opened the ''light screen'' on his smart pocket watch and saw the detailed rankings:


    First place: Li Yuan, 46 points


    Second place: Wu Dongdong, 42 points


    Third place: Lin Lanyue, 40 points


    Fourth place: Wang Yu, 32 points


    ...


    The majority of students'' points were below 10, with fewer than 50 managing to exceed 10 points.


    Even more so, Li Yuan had noticed that the number of participants in the battle had already decreased to 745.


    This meant that more than 200 students had already terminated the Combat Assessment.


    Life-and-death struggles were not so easy for most elite students.


    "Dong Haifeng, keep it up; looking at your points, you still have a chance to rush into the top hundred," Li Yuan said, glancing at the dumbfounded Dong Haifeng next to him with a smile, "I''ll be leaving first."


    With a sweeping gaze to discern direction, Li Yuan went straight towards the deeper parts of ''Moon Demon Wolf Assembly Point No.8''.


    According to the intelligence, a Moon Demon Wolf Assembly Point should contain more than just these Moon Demons.


    You see.


    The Moon Demons in the Combat Assessment area were captured by military bases and fed regularly; their numbers were substantial.


    Watching Li Yuan disappear at the end of the forest.


    Dong Haifeng stood in place, silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh, "Perhaps, Li Yuan has never considered me a rival."


    "First place?"


    "Lin Lanyue, third place?" Dong Haifeng''s eyes dulled as he looked at the rankings of the two on his smart bracelet.


    "I played the fool."


    ...


    Save Dong Haifeng?


    Although Dong Haifeng showed some inexplicable dislike and hostility on the way to Jiangbei Martial University, Li Yuan had never cared.


    How big could the so-called malice between students be?


    And how could it affect him?


    ...


    Inside the War Fortress of the Moon Demon Star Realm, in the highest-level''s super-large meeting room.


    Many officers were watching the densely packed light screen projections in the meeting room.


    "Too weak."


    The burly officer couldn''t help but shake his head, "They are just the most ordinary Moon Demons, and there are hardly any Entry Level ones, yet they compelled a quarter of the participants to call for rescue within just a few hours."


    "Look at that kid, his technique and physical quality are not bad, but he simply couldn''t capitalize on his sword technique advantage and was forced to retreat step by step," the burly officer said, shaking his head and sighing as he pointed to one of the light screens.


    "Old Wang."


    The tall and skinny senior officer beside him smiled, "They''re just kids. Although they have experienced many virtual battles, you and I both understand that real combat and virtual combat are completely different."


    "Just the mindset alone is different," the tall and skinny officer said, "In virtual combat, no matter how realistically simulated, one knows that they won''t be injured or die, so they naturally won''t be afraid."


    "In real combat, a slight carelessness may lead to death or injury; being tied up in one''s first battle is very normal."


    "Experience more real battles, and they''ll improve."


    The officer surnamed Wang shook his head and sighed, "I am just anxious watching them."


    Suddenly.


    "Old Wang, look, isn''t that kid performing well?" the tall and skinny officer pointed to one of the light screens, "So calm, and his spear technique is so graceful."


    "Even though his physical quality is a notch weaker, he dares to fight up-close with an Entry Rank Moon Demon Wolf."


    The light screen displayed the scene where Li Yuan saved Dong Haifeng and fought with the pack of Moon Demons.


    "Oh?" The officer named Wang turned to look, his eyes lighting up, unable to help but nod continuously, "Not bad, indeed!"


    They both could tell from the speed that Li Yuan''s physical quality was not exaggerated.


    Probably around level 9.


    But in close combat, each of Li Yuan''s moves, every thrust of his spear, was terrifyingly precise.


    The Moon Demon Wolf leader, with a strength far greater than Li Yuan, was no match at all. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Named Li Yuan?"


    ```


    The tall, skinny military officer lowered his head and quickly reviewed the data, then smiled, "Physical Quality 8.9 level? Spear Technique Fourth Level? He actually rushed to first place."


    "Other students with even stronger physical qualities and not inferior techniques, when fighting, mostly hesitated, lacking his psychological quality."


    "Moreover, he was quite lucky, encountering more Moon Demon wolves along the way," the tall, skinny officer said.


    "With such strength, it''s normal for him to rush to first place," the Wang surnamed military officer smiled, "I like combat-type geniuses."


    As soldiers, being constantly on the front lines of war, they actually didn''t care about ''on-paper strength''.


    In their eyes, only strength that could be demonstrated was real.


    "Old Ji, look up his detailed information," the Wang surnamed military officer requested.


    "Alright."


    The tall, skinny officer quickly clicked on the console in front of him, and soon Li Yuan''s detailed information appeared.


    "Family background, very average!"


    "Oh? He has even been awarded the title of Youth Hero," the tall, skinny officer''s eyes brightened: "Old Wang, take a look."


    "The title of Youth Hero?" The officer surnamed Wang became even more surprised and lowered his head to look at the data.


    After more than ten seconds.


    Suddenly, both officers lifted their heads simultaneously, as if by tacit understanding, both revealing smiles.


    "What do you think?"


    "Let''s give him a spot," the Wang surnamed military officer said with a grin, "Last year we didn''t give out a single spot, and we got a scolding about it from above."


    "I don''t care for giving those things to the rich kids; do they need it? Even if given, they won''t remember our kindness."


    "This Li Yuan, though he is from the Starfire Martial Hall, can''t join our military, but reaching this level with his background, that fits my taste."


    "Besides, is one who has received the title Youth Hero of bad character?" the officer surnamed Wang listed a series of reasons.


    "Fine."


    "I also think he''s pretty good," the tall, skinny officer nodded, "Apart from Li Yuan, there''s another one I think isn''t bad."


    "Tian Dazhuang?" the officer surnamed Wang asked back.


    "You saw it too?"


    "I did. His combat mindset is a bit weaker than Li Yuan''s, but he was specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall; maybe we can try inviting him to join our military."


    ...


    Time passed.


    In the one hundred square kilometer Combat Assessment area, with continuous mountain ranges, a large number of students kept fighting with Star Realm Creatures.


    A large number of Moon Demon wolves died.


    Continuously, students were forced to call for help, and with the combat drones'' speed that followed, they could often arrive within ten seconds and kill the attacking Moon Demon wolves.


    However, no matter how quick the rescue and how well the protective gear safeguarded vital areas, occasionally, students would still get attacked and injured or even killed.


    Such things were unavoidable.


    By the time it was three in the afternoon.


    The whole Combat Assessment field had less than two hundred students remaining.


    On a messy stone wasteland to the east of Blade Mountain.


    "Roar~" "Howl~"


    "Roar!" Head after head of Moon Demon wolves bellowed and continuously tried to besiege the young man in black armor at the center.


    A large number of Moon Demon wolf corpses lay scattered on the ground in disarray.


    The smell of blood they emitted was astonishing.


    The black armored youth stood at the center, unmoved by the tide-like siege of Moon Demon wolves surrounding him, his spear circle unshaken.


    The speed of his spear was not fast, but each thrust was incredibly precise.


    One by one, Moon Demon wolves fell.


    He, like a boulder, stood firm and unmovable against the siege of hundreds of Moon Demon wolves.


    "Roar~" Not far away, on a huge rock, a massive Moon Demon Wolf King, over three meters in body length and almost one and a half meters at the shoulder, growled restlessly, its gaze locked on the young man in black armor.


    It couldn''t understand how this alien youth with such a seemingly weak life force could possess such terrifying power.


    It didn''t dare to make a reckless move.


    "I don''t know if I should say it''s unlucky or lucky," Li Yuan thought to himself calmly, his eyes cold, "to have encountered the ''No. 1 group'' mentioned in the intelligence."


    A 12.1 level Wolf King, three wolves above level 10, and over a hundred regular Moon Demon wolves¡ªthis force was enough to make ordinary Entry Rank martial artists flee.


    Li Yuan wanted to escape, but he couldn''t.


    In terms of sheer running speed, his physical quality was not considered fast.


    In the more than 20 minutes of chase battle just now, Li Yuan had killed over twenty Moon Demon wolves, including one Entry Rank Moon Demon wolf.


    In the end, he was still surrounded.


    "However, continuous slaughter has also caused my Spiritual Awakening Level to soar," mused Li Yuan, his eyes icy cold.


    "[...Spiritual Awakening Level reached 9.7%]"


    "[...Spiritual Awakening Level reached 9.9%]" Along with more Moon Demon wolves falling to the ground, a series of prompts kept flashing across the Divine Palace panel.


    Suddenly, with a spear-stroke through the Vast Sky, two more notifications flashed on the edge of Li Yuan''s vision.


    "[...Spiritual Awakening Level reached 10%]"


    "[Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 10%, you may guide Origin Power into your body once]"


    "Hmm? Origin Power infusion? What''s this? I thought you had to reach a 25% Spiritual Awakening Level before you get any Spiritual Guidance?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Before Li Yuan could ponder further.


    "Roar~"


    The huge Moon Demon Wolf King sitting on the distant rock could no longer bear it and, with a deep growl, suddenly leapt out, attacking like lightning.

 Chapter 81: 78: Moving like a Dragon, Dying by a Single Spear (Please Subscribe)

    The Wolf King''s pounce was also an attack command as it growled lowly.


    "Awooo!" The Moon Demon Wolves, which had previously hesitated due to Li Yuan''s ruthless killing, once again crazily surged towards him.


    In their pack, the Wolf King possessed unquestionable authority.


    "Die!" A fierce killing intent surged in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    He knew the most dangerous moment had come.


    Although he was prepared to call for help at any time, Li Yuan was not willing to give up the ''first place'' he had nearly secured unless he was truly in a dire situation.


    After all, there was a difference of 500,000 Blue Star Coins and 2 million Blue Star Coins at stake.


    "Boom!" The long spear in Li Yuan''s hand suddenly erupted.


    His powerful spiritual power completely penetrated the interior of the weapon, sensing the subtle flows of vigor within.


    Body, heart, and weapon, the three united and burst forth completely.


    "Rip~" The long spear danced, its tip tracing dazzling arcs around Li Yuan, moving unpredictably, almost shrouding him like twinkling stars in the night sky.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sweeping spear light flickered, tearing through the air.


    "Pfft~" "Pfft~" "Pfft~" One after another, the Moon Demon Wolves that pounced first were pierced through their bodies and skulls by the long spear, falling to the ground in vanquished heaps, blood splashing.


    Stellar Spear Technique''s first form¡ªStellar Illumination!


    After his Spear Technique entered the Fourth Level, Li Yuan''s casual strikes possessed immense might.


    But the true killing moves were the Stellar Five Forms, these special skills could summon the body''s latent potential to the greatest extent.


    Although using them expended a great deal of spiritual power and physical strength, their might far surpassed ordinary moves.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Six Moon Demon Wolves fell to Li Yuan''s spear, including one over Level 10 Entry Rank Moon Demon Wolf.


    Such overwhelming force startled many of the Moon Demon Wolves.


    At this moment!


    "Roar~" The Moon Demon Wolf King finally closed in, its speed so swift it greatly surpassed Li Yuan''s.


    "Die."


    Li Yuan moved, his spear tip flicking like a snake''s tongue, striking like lightning directly at the Moon Demon Wolf King.


    "Whoosh!"


    The massive body of the Moon Demon Wolf King was incredibly agile, easily dodging Li Yuan''s charged and ferocious thrust.


    In terms of technique, it was far inferior to Li Yuan, largely relying on battle instincts.


    However, its Life Level of 12 meant its speed and strength were far superior to Li Yuan''s.


    Fundamentals determined the lower limit.


    "Whoosh!" The Wolf King pounced again, probing Li Yuan while the other Moon Demon Wolves also launched a frenzied attack, straining to distract him.


    "Clang!"


    "Pfft!" "Bang!!"


    With each clash and collision, although occasionally a Moon Demon Wolf perished under Li Yuan''s spear.


    The intensity of the onslaught had Li Yuan at a complete disadvantage.


    Several times, to avoid the Moon Demon King''s direct attacks, Li Yuan had no choice but to brace himself against the bodies of other Moon Demon Wolves, their astonishing impact causing his blood to churn.


    "The Wolf King is too fast."


    "The difference in physical quality is too great." Li Yuan exerted all his might time and time again, narrowly dodging the Moon Demon Wolf King''s attacks and pushing his movement technique to its limits.


    ```


    Occasionally, his sharp long spear would leave a small wound on the body of the wolf king.


    Both sides were caught in a madness.


    The Moon Demon Wolf King relied on its mighty body and the assistance of a multitude of ordinary Moon Demons.


    Li Yuan, however, relied on his skill, the sharpness of his weapon, and the toughness of his protective clothing.


    "My physical strength."


    "Is starting to wane," Li Yuan appeared mad, but his heart was extremely calm. He was precisely calculating his physical strength, "I must find an opportunity."


    "This wolf king continuously hides its weaknesses while constantly testing me; I need a chance."


    Just one critical thrust.


    Would slay the Moon Demon Wolf King.


    ...


    In the conference room of the War Fortress,


    dozens of military officers were now seriously watching the frenzied battle between Li Yuan and the Moon Demon wolf pack on the large screen.


    Li Yuan had already been first in the scores and the center of attention.


    The Moon Demon Wolf King he now faced was also the strongest one among all in the combat assessment arena.


    The only Level 12 Star Realm Creature.


    "What amazing spear technique." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Truly beautiful."


    "Impeccable defense! The previous fights just showed his strong offense, but now it seems what he truly excels at is defense."


    "Fourth Level spear technique? A high school student?"


    "I''ve practiced the spear for more than a decade and am only at the Third Stage Intermediate Rank, yet I can''t advance further. Compared to him, I''ve really wasted my life."


    "The key is that facing a life-or-death battle for the first time, he can fully utilize his skills, truly a combat genius!" the officers exclaimed in admiration.


    Perhaps Li Yuan''s physical quality wasn''t high, but his spear technique was indeed pleasing to the eye.


    "Old Wang, should we rescue him?"


    The tall and thin military officer Ji asked in a low voice, "The kid''s spear technique is impressive, but the combat assessment has been going on for over 6 hours. With such high-intensity combat, I fear he won''t have the stamina to continue."


    "With so many Moon Demons, he can''t kill them all, and that wolf king has a much stronger body than he does."


    "I''m afraid..." Officer Ji seemed concerned.


    Indeed, they had activated ''Absolute Protection,'' but with the speed and killing power of the Moon Demon King, there might still be a slip.


    "No rush."


    "Look, those two girls are getting closer," said the burly officer Wang in a low voice, pointing to another screen: "If we rescue Li Yuan now, he won''t be able to take first place."


    "Oh?"


    ...


    In the woods, two black figures, one tall and one short, were moving swiftly forward.


    "Yue Yue, so many wolf corpses. It looks like the fight has extended over to that wasteland," Wu Dongdong quickly said.


    "Hmm."


    "Looking at the signs of battle, someone was pursued," Lin Lanyue, with swords in both hands, surveyed the area and swiftly analyzed the situation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two moved quickly and soon saw the wasteland come into view, directly witnessing the fierce battle taking place there.


    "It''s Li Yuan!"


    Excitement colored Dongdong''s voice, "Sister, there are so many Moon Demons and that wolf king, it might be over Level 12!!"


    ```


    "Li Yuan." In Lin Lanyue''s eyes, there was only Li Yuan, and she instantly realized that Li Yuan had fallen into an absolute disadvantage.


    An instinctive worry arose in her heart.


    "Quick, Dongdong, save him."


    Lin Lanyue''s footsteps quickened, as she dashed out like a fleeting shadow.


    "Got it!!"


    "Watch me kill the Moon Demon Wolf King and take back the first place." Wu Dongdong was extremely excited as he rushed out following her.


    The physical quality of both of them was at the Entry Rank.


    ...


    "Clang!"


    "Boom~" The Moon Demon Wolf King was cunning, repeatedly probing with its claws, which were incredibly hard and not at all afraid of colliding with the spear shaft or even the spear tip.


    It didn''t give Li Yuan any chance to attack its vital points.


    Other Moon Demons also attacked repeatedly, either trying to bite with their mouths or pounce to kill.


    In contrast, Li Yuan''s Spear Technique was visibly slowing down.


    "My strength is decreasing, my Spear Technique is getting slower."


    "I must hold on, I must defend." Li Yuan''s heart grew more determined as he poured his whole being into the fight.


    Li Yuan, too, perceived his own weakness.


    Movement Technique!


    After breakthroughs in his Fist Technique and Spear Technique, the only thing left was his movement technique.


    Fourth Level movement techniques theoretically involved the integration of body and mind.


    But compared to Fist Technique, movement techniques greatly test the perception of and inquiry into one''s surroundings.


    Perceiving the environment, utilizing the environment, ensuring that every movement and dodge of the body or limbs is the most energy-efficient and precise¡ªthat is the Fourth Level of the movement techniques.


    If given one or two more months, with his strong spiritual power and Fist Technique Realm, Li Yuan would definitely break through in his movement technique as well.


    However, from the breakthrough of the Fist Technique to the Fourth Level to now, it had only been about ten days.


    Although Li Yuan had been practicing the Dragon Movement Technique all this time, he still lacked that final insight.


    "If my movement technique could reach the Fourth Level, facing the siege of so many Moon Demons, complemented by my Spear Technique, I could handle it much more comfortably." Li Yuan''s eyes were cold.


    The oppressive feeling brought by life-and-death battle.


    Stimulated the body over and over, evoking the most primal evolutionary drive from the deepest part of the body.


    Evolve or die!!


    The tension and stimulation brought about by a brush with death were incomparable to tens of thousands of virtual battles.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan fiercely dueled with the Moon Demon Wolf King.


    Gradually, Li Yuan felt a mysterious sensation, vaguely grasping that glimmer of insight.


    Swish!


    Swish! Li Yuan''s steps changed; although his moving speed didn''t increase, he dodged the Moon Demon Wolf King''s attacks more easily and nimbly.


    As if he were a gust of wind!


    Each time, Li Yuan seemed to perform ''ultimate'' dodges against the surrounding Moon Demons'' attacks.


    "Roar~"


    "Howl!" The Moon Demon Wolf King grew anxious; it had seen the hope of killing Li Yuan.


    But now, that hope seemed to have become distant again, each attack only ''a bit'' short.


    A fluke once, but what about twice? Thrice?


    How had this weak alien life form suddenly improved so much?


    "Boom!" The Moon Demon Wolf King could no longer restrain itself, and risking danger, it launched a full-force attack on Li Yuan.


    "Dragon Movement."


    "Wind follows the tiger, clouds follow the dragon. The Fourth Level of the Dragon Movement Technique is to become like the wind." Li Yuan was completely immersed in this special state, feeling as if everything around him was faintly reflected in his heart.


    Instinctively, his body made the most advantageous choices.


    Become like a dragon moving through the wind!


    This was the essence of the Dragon Movement Technique.


    "Roar~" The Moon Demon Wolf King roared furiously, lunging forward, trying to corner Li Yuan with its massive body and burst speed.


    "After so many probes, it finally comes."


    "Die!"


    Li Yuan''s eyes suddenly erupted with light, and vigor burst forth from his body. His spine curved like a fully drawn bow, with all the power transferring from his waist to his arms.


    His spear gleamed like stars!


    The spear''s speed suddenly exploded.


    "Piercing!"


    A flash of cold light, and the spear tip grazed a bloody mark under the jaw of the Moon Demon Wolf King, who was charging snarling, and then impaled right into its flesh, penetrating straight through the heart within its body.


    This thrust almost pierced through the Moon Demon Wolf King.


    This was Li Yuan''s long-accumulated burst of power!


    "Spurt~~" Blood splattered.


    Li Yuan swiftly withdrew his spear like lightning, flinging the nearly thousand-kilogram corpse of the Moon Demon Wolf King over his head, while also avoiding the attacks of two other Moon Demons.


    "Boom~"


    The enormous corpse of the Moon Demon Wolf King heavily crashed into a boulder, then rolled down to the ground, its massive body still struggling, with blood flowing.


    "Swoosh!"


    Li Yuan stood erect, his gaze piercing cold, as his long spear drew a semicircle, striking down a Moon Demon that couldn''t retreat in time.


    No signs of weakness.


    "Howl~"


    "Roar~" The multitude of Moon Demons around him, with eyes full of terror, growled and subconsciously began to back away, looking to get away from the devil before them.


    "Li Yuan."


    "We''re here to save you."


    Two voices suddenly rang out one after the other, and then Li Yuan saw two black figures burst from the forest and roar into the midst of the Moon Demon pack.


    Sword light and spear shadows intertwined, blood splashed, and one after another, Moon Demons fell to the ground.


    "Swish!" "Swish!" The remaining over a hundred living Moon Demons could no longer bear it and, howling in fright, fled into the distance.


    Phew!


    Upon seeing this scene, Li Yuan could no longer bear it and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.


    His strength had already nearly reached its limit; he had just been forcibly intimidating the pack of wolves.


    "Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (current limit 20%, can guide Origin Power into the body one more time)" Li Yuan glanced at a section on the Divine Palace panel and pondered.

 Chapter 82: 79: The Absolute First (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Pass)

    After a chase, having successively killed more than twenty fleeing Moon Demon wolves, Lin Lanyue and Wu Dongdong finally returned.


    "Li Yuan, impressive!"


    Wu Dongdong clicked his tongue in wonder, circling the massive, unmoving body of the Moon Demon Wolf King: "This Moon Demon Wolf King must have been level 12, right?"


    "We thought you''d need us to rescue you."


    "Who would have thought that you could kill it amidst a wolf pack''s siege?" Wu Dongdong said, flashing his white teeth: "More formidable than I imagined."


    "Luck," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "How is it? Are you hurt anywhere?" Lin Lanyue squatted next to Li Yuan, her gaze sweeping over the bloodstains on his body, showing a trace of concern.


    "All this blood is from the Moon Demon wolves," Li Yuan said with a smile, shaking his head: "Just a bit drained."


    For a moment, the faces of the two were somewhat close.


    "If you hadn''t come, with so many Moon Demon wolves left, I would probably have had to call for help," Li Yuan subtly changed the subject.


    "We just happened to be there," Lin Lanyue said with a slight smile as she stood up.


    Seeing that Li Yuan was indeed all right, she let go of her worry.


    "Hey, Li Yuan,"


    "I feel like you get really lucky, to actually encounter a wolf king," Wu Dongdong suddenly sighed in a low voice: "I can''t catch up with your score anymore, two million Blue Star Coins gone, you''ll make a huge profit this time, we''ll have to slaughter you for a feast later."


    "Really?" Li Yuan smiled, glancing at the score ranking on his locator ring:


    First: Li Yuan, 188 points


    Second: Wu Dongdong, 129 points


    Third: Lin Lanyue, 94 points


    Fourth: Wang Yu, 76 points


    Fifth: Tian Dazhuang, 66 points


    ...


    Li Yuan''s score had originally been only a dozen or so points more than Wu Dongdong''s.


    But after this battle, he had left his opponent far behind.


    The key was the final wolf king, with a life level surpassing 12.0, providing Li Yuan with an entire 50 points.


    "Yue Yue, are we still going to look for Moon Demon wolves?" Wu Dongdong turned and looked at Lin Lanyue.


    "Li Yuan is a bit drained, I''ll stay with him," Lin Lanyue said: "Let''s not have another Moon Demon wolf pack appear."


    "No need," Li Yuan said: "I''ll rest for a while, I can still exert most of my combat strength, you two continue with the combat trials."


    "Li Yuan, it''s not just to keep you company," Lin Lanyue smiled: "We''ve fought for more than six hours, we''re tired too."


    "Besides, there''s only half an hour left until the assessment ends, is it likely our ranks will drop out of the top ten?"


    "We''re all in the top ten, the reward is no different," Lin Lanyue said earnestly.


    Li Yuan fell silent, unable to argue further.


    "Alright then."


    "Sister, I''ll listen to you," Wu Dongdong spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and planted his long spear heavily into the ground, then plopped down to sit: "Since I can''t surpass Li Yuan, let''s just wait for the assessment to end together."


    The three stayed where they were.


    Li Yuan rested while observing his Divine Palace panel.

    ...


    The over six hours of combat assessment, especially the intense battle with the Moon Demon Wolf King, had propelled Li Yuan''s movement technique into the Fourth Level, signifying that his martial arts skills had comprehensively stepped into the Fourth Level.


    Both his spear technique and fist technique had improved somewhat.


    However, what Li Yuan was most concerned about was his Spiritual Awakening Level: "Awakened 10%, Origin Power into the body?"


    This change was something he had never thought about before.


    Moreover, calming down now, Li Yuan vaguely sensed some kind of change within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, awaiting his discovery.


    "Wait until the assessment is over, then I''ll try it alone," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Half an hour later.


    "Beep~" "Beep~" The locators on the wrists of the trio vibrated slightly, signaling "Combat assessment over."


    "Second, second!" S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Wu Dongdong shouted with a laugh: "Yue Yue sister, wait until I buy a flying motorcycle, I''ll take you for a ride."


    "Alright, I''ll be waiting," Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    Li Yuan watched this scene with a smile, a flying motorcycle? That seemed rather extravagant for him.


    Eight minutes passed.


    "Rumble!"


    A small flying craft descended at high speed, the hatch opened, quickly picked up Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, and the others, and sped toward the direction of the War Fortress.


    ...


    The flying craft soon arrived at the metal plaza outside the War Fortress, where dozens of craft had already landed.


    Students continually emerged from the flying craft.


    Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, carrying their weapons, also stepped down.


    "Sister, Li Yuan, look over there," Wu Dongdong suddenly pointed into the distance.


    There was a row covered with white cloths on stretchers.


    "Bodies?" Li Yuan''s pupils contracted slightly, and his heart shook a little.


    Eight stretchers implied eight bodies.


    Though they had been informed of a ''death rate'' in the combat assessment, seeing it for the first time still made Li Yuan somewhat uneasy.


    Companions who were alive and kicking in the morning.


    Turned into cold, lifeless bodies by the afternoon?


    After all, Li Yuan was just a seventeen-year-old boy. The joy of having just snagged the first place in combat had also been scattered quite a bit.


    "The combat assessment was just a fight against some weaker Star Realm creatures; the danger was still controllable, and yet so many died," Li Yuan reflected inwardly: "What about the future?"


    "Will I, too, die on the battlefield someday?" Thinking this, Li Yuan subconsciously gripped the long spear in his hand even tighter.


    Strength!


    One must possess even greater strength to ensure one''s survival.


    ... "Li Yuan, the chief officer of the military base might specifically look for you in a bit," Lin Lanyue suddenly said in a low voice.


    "Looking for me?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "Yeah." Lin Lanyue''s voice was very soft, audible only to the two of them: "If they do, and their requests aren''t excessive, agree to them first, grab the benefits first."


    "Benefits?" Li Yuan was even more puzzled, weren''t the benefits just two million Blue Star Coins?


    What other benefits could there be?


    But with many people around, Li Yuan didn''t inquire further, and the two followed the crowd, moving toward the distance.


    "Look, Li Yuan is here!"


    "First in actual combat."


    "188 points, that''s ruthless. He took down over a hundred Moon Demon wolves by himself."


    "So awesome." Many students noticed Li Yuan walking over, their eyes filled with admiration.


    In terms of fame, Li Yuan was already quite well-known.


    After this combat assessment, his ranking shot up dramatically to first place, further increasing his fame.


    Many people watched Li Yuan''s score soar continually, especially in the last hour when it went up crazily.


    Points represent the number of enemies killed!


    What does this imply? In the last hour, Li Yuan most likely faced an onslaught from a pack of Moon Demon wolves and still managed to hold on until the end unscathed.


    Naturally, this won over everyone''s respect.


    "Li Yuan is so badass! If I were this badass, I could pee on my dad''s head, and he''d praise me for peeing well."


    "I fought with all my might to kill just 5, and I almost got injured, while he killed more than 180!!"


    "Don''t mention it, I was so unlucky. I killed 8, but then ran into a wolf pack in the last ten minutes... My points dropped to just 4, fuck! I failed the combat assessment!"


    "Li Yuan is ruthless, and so is Wu Dongdong who follows him."


    "That pretty girl next to Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, right? She''s actually third, scoring even higher than Wang Yu."


    Compared to Li Yuan and Wu Dongdong, Lin Lanyue was much less famous, but her beauty added quite a bit of credit to her name.


    In the bustling crowd.


    "Li Yuan, badass."


    Gu Qianghan suddenly rushed over from a distance, punching Li Yuan hard in the chest and said excitedly, "You actually took down Wu Dongdong! That motherfucking T-Rex couldn''t even get you! Worthy of being my bro!"


    Li Yuan was taken aback, then nudged his mouth and gave Gu Qianghan a look.


    Lin Lanyue, standing nearby, revealed a mischievous smile.


    "What?" Gu Qianghan still hadn''t realized what was happening.


    "Gu! Qiang! Han!" Wu Dongdong burst out from behind Li Yuan, his face full of anger and his small eyes bulging like copper bells.


    "Holy shit, Dongdong, you''re here?" Gu Qianghan''s eyeballs nearly popped out, and he turned to run.


    "Thump~"


    He was tackled to the ground by Wu Dongdong, who struggled and screamed: "Sis, Li Yuan, save me."


    Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue exchanged a smile and strode forward.


    ...


    Ten minutes later.


    Nearly a thousand students, regardless of whether they passed the assessment, all gathered in the square.


    Their gazes were all directed towards the stage.


    "First, I hope all students will observe a minute of silence for the eight classmates who died in battle," the thin and tall army officer surnamed Ji said slowly as he scanned the crowd.


    All the students'' eyes dimmed.


    Complete silence.


    During the long minute, only the sound of the wind could be heard across the vast square.


    "Opportunities for actual combat training are scarce," the thin and tall army officer surnamed Ji spoke again: "If you go to war in the future, it will be ten times, a hundred times more dangerous than today!"


    "I hope that everyone, after going back, will summarize today''s experiences and train harder so that we can minimize sacrifices in the future."


    "I also wish everyone here achieves Prime Warrior status as soon as possible and truly become the blade of human civilization!"


    "Secondly, congratulations to the 293 students who successfully passed the combat assessment," the thin and tall army officer continued: "Lastly, special commendation for Li Yuan, Wu Dongdong, Lin Lanyue... and ten other students."


    All students were listening attentively.


    After a pause, the thin and tall army officer continued, "Especially student Li Yuan, who, all by himself, fell into an ambush laid out by a pack of Moon Demon wolves, successfully killed a level 12 Wolf King, making it the only case in the entire combat assessment. He deserves special recognition."


    Instantly, the crowd erupted in astonished murmurs.


    Even though many had guessed the result from Li Yuan''s final surge in points, confirmation still sent a shock through everyone''s heart.


    A Level 12 Star Realm Creature!


    Most students knew that Li Yuan''s physical quality wasn''t too exaggerated.


    "Li Yuan, you''ve completely made a name for yourself now, overshading Tian Dazhuang and the female tyrannosaur," Gu Qianghan muttered with a bruised and swollen face.


    "Keep your voice down; if you''re overheard, you''ll get beaten up again," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Gu Qianghan subconsciously shrank his neck.


    "Fame?" Li Yuan mused to himself; he didn''t care about fame.


    What he was thinking about was when the reward of 2 million Blue Star Coins would be issued.


    Better safe than sorry!


    ...


    After the conference ended, all the students boarded the vehicles in sequence, ready to return.


    Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang, however, were invited into a meeting room in a small building next to the square by two military officers.


    "Just me and Tian Dazhuang?" Li Yuan thought to himself, recalling Lin Lanyue''s reminder.


    "Li Yuan, please come into this room," said the guiding officer with a smile: "Tian Dazhuang, your room is next door."


    Li Yuan nodded, untroubled.


    Enter the room.


    At a glance, Li Yuan saw sitting inside the lanky senior military officer who had just spoken.


    "Hello Li Yuan, my last name is Ji, and I am in charge of this War Fortress base," the lean senior officer Ji said with a smile: "Congratulations on achieving first place in the combat assessment."


    "Please, take a seat."


    "In charge?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart.


    According to the video introduction given by Lin Lanyue, this was the only War Fortress in the entire Star Realm.


    In other words, was the person in front of him in charge of the entire Moon Demon Star Realm?


    The power, absolutely astonishing!


    "Greetings, Senior Ji," Li Yuan said calmly, taking a seat.


    In the world of martial artists, those with stronger abilities and older age could be respectfully addressed as seniors.


    "Do you know why we didn''t call for Wu Dongdong?" the senior officer Ji asked with a smile.


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    It wasn''t just Wu Dongdong who wasn''t called; it seemed Wang Yu wasn''t called either.


    "I have looked over your file; the title of Young Hero is very rare, and you have a strong sense of justice."


    "Talented and excellent in real combat."


    "Would you be willing to join our military?" the lean senior officer Ji said, beaming: "Our military loves justice-oriented combat geniuses like you the most."


    "In my eyes, out of the thousands of students this time, you are absolutely the first one! Wu Dongdong and the others don''t come close to you," the senior officer Ji stated emphatically.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Absolutely the first? They thought so highly of him?


    ...


    Next door.


    "Tian Dazhuang, you''re excellent, from an ordinary family background, but your dedication to cultivation has truly changed the fate of your family," the burly officer Wang said.


    Tian Dazhuang''s eyes, for once, revealed a trace of pride.


    "Just from your resume alone, I greatly admire you... You, in my eyes, are definitely the first among these students, surpassing Li Yuan by far," the burly officer Wang said sincerely: "Would you be willing to join our military?"


    "You will receive the best cultivation our military has to offer."

 Chapter 83: 80: The Youthful Blink Envisions an Eternity of Pure Flow (Requesting Monthly Votes)

    ```


    In the room.


    "Our cultivation contract is definitely better than Starfire Martial Hall''s A-level contract." The thin and tall military officer surnamed Ji constantly laid out his terms, bewitching Li Yuan.


    The conditions were indeed generous.


    "Senior Ji."


    "I have already signed with Starfire Martial Hall," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "Signing doesn''t mean you can''t break the contract," the thin and tall military officer surnamed Ji smiled, "We''ll pay the penalty for you, so you won''t have to spend any money."


    "No, thanks."


    Li Yuan shook his head, "Senior Ji, my growth has been this rapid largely because of the help from Starfire Martial Hall. Anything else is negotiable... but this is the one thing I can''t do, I''m afraid."


    Li Yuan had his principles.


    Initially, when Lord Wan signed with him, his performance only warranted a C-level contract, which was already overvalued.


    Later, the Martial Hall arranged a series of resource sponsorships, which is how he was able to improve so much in half a year.


    One must not forget their origins.


    The most important point was that once he returned from here, he would be able to try for a Fallen Star ranking on the Starry Skies Fighting Network... and then his B-level contract with the Starfire Martial Hall could also be upgraded to an A-level contract.


    The special training contract of the university and the cultivation contract of the Martial Hall were separate and did not interfere with each other.


    However, one could only sign one cultivation contract with entities like Starfire Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, Martial Arts Hall, or other large groups.


    These were explicitly stipulated in the "Martial Artist Law."


    "Haha, alright, I won''t insist any further," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer laughed, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.


    He hoped that Li Yuan would agree.


    But, if Li Yuan had agreed immediately, he would actually have looked down on Li Yuan... This mentality was not contradictory.


    "Li Yuan, I''m liking you more and more," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer smiled, "How about this, I represent the Jiangbei Provincial Military and sponsor you with one million Blue Star Coins."


    "Come on, don''t refuse this," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer smiled.


    "This? One million?" Li Yuan was slightly shocked.


    "Rest assured, there are no other conditions," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer conveyed with a smile, "Although you can''t join the military, if you can grow and contribute to the country in the future, whether you join the military or not, does it really matter?"


    Li Yuan felt a twinge of emotion and couldn''t help asking, "What about Wu Dongdong and the others?"


    "Them? Not necessary!" the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer shook his head and laughed, "We only feel it''s worth giving resources to someone like you, and it wouldn''t be a waste."


    Li Yuan was rendered speechless, vaguely understanding why only Tian Dazhuang and himself were called in.


    Having too strong of a background could be less appealing.


    "Let''s take a sponsorship photo," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer smiled, "Later, a sponsorship contract will be sent to your virtual personal space. Don''t worry, there will be no restrictions."


    "One million Blue Star Coins, within a week they will be in your account."


    ...


    After seeing off Li Yuan, the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer leisurely drank tea, waiting another two minutes.


    Clang~ A military officer surnamed Wang entered, wearing a smile.


    "Did it work?" asked the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer.


    "It did," nodded the military officer surnamed Wang. "Signed with the Martial Arts Hall, the future will always have to be allocated somewhere, so why not to our military? I''ll report it right away and have it arranged."


    "A Martial Path prodigy like Tian Dazhuang is not easy to snatch," a brawny military officer surnamed Wang laughed, "How about you?"


    "It didn''t work out," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer shook his head and sighed, "Li Yuan is really not bad, it''s a pity."


    "It''s normal not to succeed, after all, he has signed with Starfire Martial Hall."


    "If you had casually promised a few things and he wanted to breach the contract because of that, then it would actually be a matter for serious consideration," the military officer surnamed Wang laughed, "If you think he''s not bad, why not help him out?"


    "How can we help? Our sponsorship authority is only up to one million," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer was puzzled.


    "Haha, I''m the clever one today," the military officer surnamed Wang said with a smile, "Who says sponsorship is the only way to help?"


    "We just need to let it out that we attempted to recruit Li Yuan with an ''S-level contract'' and were still rejected, then let the news reach Starfire Martial Hall."


    "As long as Starfire Martial Hall isn''t stupid, they''ll naturally know what to do," the military officer surnamed Wang chuckled.


    "I only promised an A-level contract, we don''t have the authority for an S-level contract," the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer frowned.


    "Starfire Martial Hall doesn''t know we haven''t been authorized from above," the military officer surnamed Wang wasn''t concerned.


    "What if it blows up and the high-ups ask why we promised an ''S-level contract''?" the Ji-surnamed thin and tall military officer was still worried.


    "Someone''s spreading rumors! Besides, no one will ask about such a small matter, it''s under my dad''s jurisdiction."


    ...


    On the playground.


    Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang walked together toward the distant train.


    Li Yuan was now 185 cm tall, noticeably taller than Tian Dazhuang.


    "Did you sign, Li Yuan?" Tian Dazhuang asked in a muffled voice, unable to refrain from asking.


    The two of them had remembered each other for the past few days, but this was the first time they communicated. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "No," Li Yuan shook his head before asking back directly, "What about you?"


    "I haven''t fully decided yet, but I''m leaning towards it," Tian Dazhuang smiled faintly, "I was specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall, and after graduating from university, I would be allocated anyways."


    Li Yuan nodded, "Joining the military is actually quite good."


    "Yeah."


    "But my dad wants me to return to the county in the future, saying that I should aim to be the director of the Martial Path Bureau down the line," Tian Dazhuang spoke in a low voice, "He said it''s not only safe, but I could also bring honor to my ancestors."


    Li Yuan also casually added, "My aunt wanted me to become a martial arts school teacher, saying that it''s a life of peace and safety."


    After listening to each other, both men fell silent for two seconds, then looked at each other and burst out laughing heartily and freely.


    It was a laugh full of candor and unrestraint.


    Then, together, they strode towards the train.


    No more words were necessary; both understood each other''s thoughts and aspirations.


    Young men bursting with ambition, creating banners that will stand through the ages with a whip of their garment; with a single glance, young men evoke thoughts of everlasting clear streams.


    Young men always march forward with hope.


    That is the essence of youth.


    ...


    After passing through the Star Realm''s entrance, Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, and the others arrived at the underground train station of Jiangbei Martial University.


    Off the train, upstairs.


    ```


    All weapons and equipment were returned, and after changing back into their clothes, all the students filed out of the building, hopped onto the sightseeing cars, and headed toward the cafeteria.


    It was still not six o''clock yet; the sun was low in the west, and a gentle breeze made the atmosphere very comfortable.


    "The feeling of coming back is really good," Wu Dongdong stretched his body and sighed with emotion.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    Indeed, after experiencing life-and-death battles in the Moon Demon Star Realm, coming back made one all the more appreciative of the preciousness of peace and tranquility.


    "How about it, Li Yuan?" Lin Lanyue asked softly, "Did you agree to join the military?"


    "I didn''t agree," Li Yuan said, "but the military has promised to sponsor me with one million Blue Star Coins without making any demands."


    Give without asking for anything in return?


    Honestly, Li Yuan was somewhat skeptical when the military officer with the last name Ji spoke, but the whole process indeed had no issues.


    They didn''t make him sign any documents, nor did they ask him to sign electronically in the virtual network right away.


    "How did you know the military would come looking for me?" Li Yuan asked quietly.


    "The military''s sponsorship targets..."


    "There are usually three criteria," Lin Lanyue said indifferently, "First, one must have enough potential to have the hope of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "Second, one must come from a family that is not wealthy."


    "Third, they prefer to sponsor students who have a sense of justice and patriotism."


    "You fit all these to perfection," Lin Lanyue said with a smile. "And you came first in the Combat Assessment; the military respects actual combat power more than test scores, so I guessed you''d definitely be selected."


    "Impressive," Li Yuan said sincerely.


    Li Yuan realized that Lin Lanyue seemed to know everything about the workings of the Moon Demon Star Realm, even understanding the military''s movements so well.


    The scope of her background was probably beyond his imagination.


    "What''s the military''s goal?" Li Yuan asked, a touch of puzzlement in his voice. "They aren''t making demands."


    "If one day you become a Flying Heaven Warrrior, and the military has a mission that needs the help of a Flying Heaven Warrior, and they invite you to join," Lin Lanyue said with a smile, "would you go?"


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "In a sense, a Flying Heaven Warrior, with their individual might, stands above the mundane world and cannot be simply bound by law; it''s more about being tied down by emotions," Lin Lanyue continued.


    Li Yuan nodded, now understanding what Lin Lanyue meant.


    If the military faced a grave crisis and needed some Flying Heaven Warriors to battle, what then?


    It wasn''t as if issuing a command would guarantee a Flying Heaven Warrior''s compliance.


    Their strength gave them the right to say ''no.''


    The military''s approach reminded Li Yuan of Jiangbei Martial Arts University''s rewards; essentially, both were about ''forging good karma.''


    However,


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University cast a wide net, while the military selected only from the most elite students.


    "Let''s go,"


    "Let''s eat first," Lin Lanyue said with a smile. "You''ve expended so much energy today; you need to eat more tonight."


    "Time to eat! Time to eat!" Wu Dongdong got excited. "I''m going to eat six servings today."


    Everyone laughed.


    Li Yuan had long noticed that although Wu Dongdong came from a distinguished background, he was not picky about his food at all.


    Like a reincarnated glutton, he welcomed whatever came his way.


    ...


    Night fell, and after dinner, Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan returned to their dormitory.


    Clang~


    Li Yuan directly took out the long spear from the weapon cabinet.


    "Huh? Li Yuan, you''re not tired? You''re still going to train today?" Gu Qianghan looked at Li Yuan as if he were a monster.


    "Just a bit more training," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Tired? Of course, he was tired.


    But could he afford not to train? No, he couldn''t.


    "I''m off to bed," Gu Qianghan shook his head. "You keep training; I''m going to sleep."


    Clang~ Gu Qianghan closed the door of his room behind him.


    Li Yuan smiled faintly, his gaze returning to the long spear. The smile vanished as he silently practiced his spear technique.


    Swish! Swish!


    The spear danced, creating shadows as numerous and unstoppable as stars, while his body moved like a dragon through the wind¡ªunpredictable and fast.


    Stellar Spear Technique and Dragon Movement Technique, he practiced them in harmony with each other.


    For Li Yuan, while his body was tired, his movement technique had just broken through to the Fourth Level, and it was the perfect time to consolidate his training.


    Any improvement, no matter how small, was good.


    Qualitative change comes from quantitative change.


    "Fourth Level training is about digging deeper into the body''s potential, based on the foundation of unity between body and mind," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The progress is clearly much slower than at the Third Stage."


    This training session lasted until after nine, with sweat dripping to the floor, Li Yuan''s body was exhausted to its limits.


    Only then did he finally stop.


    "[Your Body Method Realm has improved from Fourth Level 1% to Fourth Level 2%]," Li Yuan glanced at the prompt that appeared half an hour ago.


    "After twelve o''clock tonight,"


    "the seven-day cooldown for the promotion match will be over, and I''ll be able to try the ''Fallen Star Promotion Match'' again," Li Yuan looked forward with anticipation. "Last time I broke into the global top 1000, my techniques were only at the Perfection of the Third Stage."


    Now what?


    Both spear technique and movement technique had fully entered the Fourth Level, and his strength had increased tremendously compared to last time.


    "By then, there will be an additional 500,000 Blue Star Coins."


    ...


    Just after ten o''clock, after showering and changing into pajamas, Li Yuan felt extremely relaxed all over.


    He sat cross-legged on the soft bed.


    The room''s soundproofing system was excellent.


    "Gu Qianghan must have fallen asleep by now."


    "Now it''s time to see what this ''Origin Power Infusion'' is all about," Li Yuan closed his eyes gently, his consciousness entering his inner world.

 Chapter 84: 81: Origin Power Infusion (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)

    Hum~ Li Yuan''s consciousness entered the spiritual world.


    Every day, he would practice the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" for two hours, so he was extremely familiar with everything in the spiritual world.


    The spiritual world was boundless and endless.


    Li Yuan focused his attention on the central Mind Spirit Divine Palace and his consciousness directly entered it.


    "Huh?" Just as Li Yuan''s consciousness entered,


    he was shocked to discover that within the empty palace, besides the original Great Sun Jade Platform,


    there was now an additional white jade staircase.


    "A staircase?" A thought flashed through Li Yuan''s mind, "Could it be, it leads to the second level?"


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace, if viewed from the void outside the palace,


    appeared to have four levels.


    But Li Yuan had only ever been able to enter the first level for a long time.


    He even doubted whether the Mind Spirit Divine Palace really had four levels or if it was just an illusion of his consciousness?


    After all, everything in the spiritual world was a mental construct and not absolutely real.


    But now? A new passage unexpectedly appeared?


    "Let''s try," Li Yuan immediately gathered his consciousness.


    He attempted to explore higher levels of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace using the newly appeared staircase.


    The moment his consciousness attempted to set foot on the staircase,


    "Boom!" A terrifyingly oppressive force rolled in like a heavy stone crushing down, causing Li Yuan''s consciousness to shake violently.


    His mind involuntarily clouded over, dazed and confused.


    After a long while,


    Li Yuan''s consciousness regained clarity, and he reassembled his consciousness to enter the Mind Empty Divine Palace, staring hard at the newfound white jade staircase.


    "In the spiritual world, the strength of spiritual power determines the strength of my consciousness," Li Yuan understood, "This staircase exerts a terrifying pressure... my consciousness is too weak to withstand this pressure."


    His own spiritual power was not strong enough.


    "15.1 level of spiritual power is not enough? Do I have to wait until it''s higher, at 18 or even 20 levels, before trying again?" Li Yuan muttered to himself,


    not daring to try lightly again.


    The spiritual blow from just now, if it had occurred half a year ago, Li Yuan estimated he would have become an idiot.


    Even though he could barely withstand it now, he could not just keep going up to take the beating.


    "The staircase, likely leading to the second level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but I can''t go up yet," Li Yuan puzzled, "How should I guide the Origin Power into my body?"


    There were no clues at all.


    "What should I do?"


    Whoosh~ As if sensing Li Yuan''s thoughts,


    the next moment, Li Yuan vaguely felt the whole Mind Spirit Divine Palace beginning to tremble slightly.


    Then, he saw a golden fog seeping out from the staircase''s end, seemingly from the vague space of the second level,


    and cascading down the staircase towards the first level.


    "Golden fog? What is this?" Li Yuan was startled.


    Before he could react,


    Hum~


    The golden fog, seemingly from the second level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, had already merged directly into his consciousness.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan''s consciousness was hit as if by thunder, then darkness invaded, becoming groggy, and he almost immediately perceived a change in his spiritual world¡ªit was no longer the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    It transformed into a boundless dark space.


    "Where is this?" Most of Li Yuan''s consciousness had fallen into a slumber, leaving only a trace of thought.


    Hum~ In silence, a majestic and vast voice seemed to come from the endless depths of darkness.


    "Seeking dust and subtlety, uniting as one, the essence of the sun and the moon, begins to temper the Spiritual Foundation; the heart follows the breath, the intention guards the major orifices..." Each ancient word seemed to contain some profound truth, directly imprinting into the depths of Li Yuan''s heart.


    It was as indelible as the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," making it difficult for Li Yuan to forget.


    And unknowingly,


    Li Yuan''s heart completely emptied out, and in the darkness all around, numerous points of light and stars emerged out of nowhere and wandered... beginning to nourish his spiritual consciousness.


    Making his spiritual consciousness grow even stronger.


    ...Inside the room.


    Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his remaining consciousness, felt strands of mysterious power gradually permeating his body.


    Legend had it that the human body was a great secret of the universe with forty-eight million orifices of stars, and Li Yuan now had such an illusion.


    "So many!"


    "Permeating through all limbs and bones," he felt.


    "It''s Origin Power," Li Yuan, who had consumed many Essence Pills, was very familiar with Origin Power.


    His consciousness became clearer and he sensed that the power flowing into his body was indeed Origin Power!


    From the outside world.


    From the heavens and the earth.


    And it was many times purer than any Essence Pill he had taken.


    "According to what Teacher Xu and President Li said, doesn''t one have to become a Prime Warrior before the body can autonomously absorb Origin Power?" Li Yuan was shocked, "Is this the ''Origin Power Entry'' of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace?"


    Li Yuan didn''t ponder deeply, but instead calmed his mind completely.


    He turned his gaze inward!


    "Origin Power!" Li Yuan attempted to guide the Cosmic Origin Power flowing into his body with his spiritual power.


    Suddenly.


    "Hum~" Li Yuan clearly sensed that more and more Origin Power was rushing into his body, seemingly accelerating.


    "Boom, boom, boom!"


    The surging and pure Origin Power finally converged like a torrent, circulating through his limbs and bones, then countless pure Origin Powers began to be crazily absorbed by Li Yuan''s muscles and bones.


    Li Yuan''s entire body trembled wildly.


    "Evolution."


    "My body," Li Yuan was astounded as his tendons, bones, skin, membranes, internal organs, and even blood and hair were all madly absorbing Origin Power, undergoing transformation.


    In the past,


    taking Essence Pills put a great strain on his body, but now, there seemed to be no limit to absorbing Origin Power...


    [Your Life Level has been raised from 8.9 to 9.0]


    [Your Life Level has been raised from 9.1 to 9.2]


    [Your Fist Strength has increased from...]


    As his physical quality soared, Li Yuan''s Divine Palace panel flashed with notifications from time to time.


    Clearly, the process of Origin Power entering the body would take at least several hours. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    When Li Yuan began to draw Origin Power into his body, his physical quality underwent a transformation.


    Late at night, eleven o''clock.


    More than a hundred kilometers away from Jiangbei Martial Arts University, in the Starfire South Lake District of Jiang City.


    In a standalone villa by the lake, the lights were bright.


    Basement.


    The nearly thousand-square-meter Martial Arts Room.


    Empty, at the end of the Martial Arts Room, on the wall was written a colossal character ''Martial''.


    The writing style was bold and powerful, like iron strokes and silver hooks, as if carved by swords.


    "Uncovering the body''s potential."


    "Unity of body and mind."


    Wan Qinghe, dressed in loose martial attire, stood in the center of the Martial Arts Room, his eyes slightly closed, and he sighed inwardly, "This final moment of spiritual clarity, this perception of subtlety, is truly difficult."


    "So many years, and I''ve never managed to break through," Wan Qinghe said with frustration.


    His Physical Quality had been stuck at level 25 for several years, unable to make further progress.


    What he lacked was not High Rank cultivation methods, not spiritual power.


    But¡ªskills!


    The deeper one goes into cultivation, the more it tests spiritual power and Martial Arts Skills... the stronger the skills, the more potential in the body can be tapped, and naturally, the Physical Quality will become stronger.


    Conversely.


    Even with powerful Origin Power, body strength, without sufficient skills to harness it, it''s hard to exert true power.


    "The Wine Devil senior once told me,"


    "I''ve wandered the Star Realm for many years, and all I''ve found is ''urgency''."


    "In life-and-death situations, being a hair''s breadth away means life or death, how can one not be urgent?" Wan Qinghe pondered silently, "If I want to break through, I must find ''tranquility''."


    "I just returned to Jiang City, taking up the post of Hall Master at the Fifth Level Martial Hall."


    Wan Qinghe was contemplating.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, an important person requests a video call," a gentle and abrupt voice rang out, "Note name: Ninth Senior Brother."


    "Hm?"


    "Why would Ninth Senior Brother call me so late? What could it be?" Wan Qinghe''s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Answer."


    Buzz~


    The video call was established.


    "Ninth Senior Brother," Wan Qinghe bowed slightly.


    In the video, his Ninth Senior Brother was wearing a pair of large shorts, his eight-pack abs showing, swaying a glass of red wine, leisurely lying on the bed.


    Beside him, the playful voices of several women could be heard.


    "Junior brother, still cultivating so late? So diligent, I haven''t disturbed you, have I?" Ninth Senior Brother took a sip of his drink.


    "Senior Brother jests, I too wish to break through as soon as possible," Wan Qinghe laughed, "Senior Brother, looking for me so late, is there something wrong?"


    "Nothing particularly important."


    "It''s just that a moment ago, President Li of Kunlun Martial University sent me a message," Ninth Senior Brother said, "He''s the leader of the delegation to Jiangbei this time, and he mentioned something about Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan?"


    Wan Qinghe''s eyes brightened slightly, his heart uneasy, "What did President Li say?"


    "Hehe, Li Yuan is not bad," Ninth Senior Brother chuckled, "You''ve recommended a good talent to our Kunlun Martial University, President Li has already signed him with an ''S-Level Special Training Contract''."


    "S-Level Special Training Contract?" Wan Qinghe was taken aback.


    He was unaware of this news.


    After all, the recruitment event was organized by the Martial Arts Hall, Education Department, and Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    Nobody had directly informed Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Mmhmm."


    "Also, you may not know, but Li Yuan''s Spear Technique, movement technique have both entered the Fourth Level," Ninth Senior Brother said, "In today''s just-concluded Combat Assessment, he also came first."


    "First in the real combat of the ''Cliff''s Edge'' style," Ninth Senior Brother added.


    "This?" Wan Qinghe was dumbfounded.


    For a moment, he didn''t know whether to be shocked or thrilled.


    This series of news was too unexpected for him.


    "Ninth Senior Brother, it''s great that Li Yuan can sign an S-Level training contract, thank you for the trouble, senior brother," Wan Qinghe said instinctively.


    The higher the level of the special training contract Li Yuan signed, the stronger he would naturally be when he graduated and returned to serve at Starfire Martial Hall.


    It would be more advantageous to Wan Qinghe.


    "Don''t rejoice too soon," Ninth Senior Brother laughed, "If it was all good news, I wouldn''t bother telling you, but there is a piece of bad news."


    "Bad news?" Wan Qinghe''s heart tightened.


    "I just learned of this news," Ninth Senior Brother said, "After today''s Combat Assessment, the military seems to have offered Li Yuan an ''S-Level Contract''."


    "S-Level Contract?" Wan Qinghe was taken aback and couldn''t help blurting out, "Really?"


    "Not sure."


    Ninth Senior Brother spread his hands, "But I can confirm two things. First, the military has already sponsored Li Yuan with one million."


    "Second, another martial arts prodigy, ''Tian Dazhuang,'' sponsored by the military, has confirmed he will join them and has signed an S-Level Contract."


    Wan Qinghe''s mind was in turmoil.


    It didn''t matter to him which university Li Yuan signed with; the two contracts did not conflict.


    But if he signed with the military, then he would indeed have to cancel the contract with Starfire Martial Hall.


    Yes, the breach of contract fee for a B-Level contract was high, but that''s relative to ordinary people.


    A few tens of millions in damages, what is that to the military?


    "Alright."


    "Brother, I''ve told you the news," Ninth Senior Brother smiled, "What to do next, you at Starfire Martial Hall decides for yourselves."


    "Just a word of advice."


    "Li Yuan might not have awakened his Martial Spirit, but just a mere B-Level contract can''t keep him," he said.


    "I''m off to busy myself," Ninth Senior Brother in the projection already stretched out his hand to embrace the enchanting woman lying atop him.


    The video cut off.


    "The military? An S-Level Contract?" Wan Qinghe tried to keep himself calm as he contemplated his next move.


    He knew.


    If he mishandled the next step, the cooked achievement might indeed fly away.

 Chapter 85: 82: Level 9.6! Fallen Star! (Fifth Release, Requesting Monthly Votes)

    Wan Qinghe''s frustration was unknown to Li Yuan, who was still experiencing "Origin Power Entry."


    In Li Yuan''s room at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, his body underwent a special state of transformation.


    It continued.


    At first, Li Yuan''s consciousness was semi-conscious, but eventually, he fell asleep without even noticing.


    In the silence of the night.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan, who was accustomed to cultivating at three in the morning, suddenly opened his eyes as if his body had formed a biological clock.


    The next second, he was fully awake.


    "Me?"


    Li Yuan immediately noticed a change in himself, his vision had improved, and his body seemed to contain astonishing strength.


    "My body?"


    Li Yuan''s gaze swept over dozens of Divine Palace panel prompts before finally settling on the data displayed on the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 9.6 (Pre-Entry Rank)]


    Physical Quality Index: 99 (Indicates a comprehensive assessment of explosive power, endurance, speed, physique, spiritual power, and many other aspects.)


    Fist Strength: 1180 kilograms


    Speed: 21.1 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: Level 16.4


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (Current limit 20%)


    ...


    "This?" Li Yuan was both shocked and overjoyed.


    His martial arts skills remained unchanged.


    But his physical quality and spiritual power had greatly improved compared to before.


    "Just five hours, and my physical quality has improved by 0.7 level? Spiritual power by 1.3 levels?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    It was simply too dramatic.


    In the previous three months, despite continuously taking Origin Power Essence Pills, basic blood-strengthening medicinal liquid, and practicing frantically, Li Yuan''s physical quality had improved by less than one level.


    Moreover, as one progresses, the improvement in physical quality naturally slows down.


    This kind of transformation was utterly astonishing.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan also noticed that the previous Divine Palace panel prompt "One chance to guide Origin Power into the body" had disappeared.


    "Origin Power Entry."


    "It has this effect? To greatly transform both my physical quality and spiritual power." Li Yuan recalled everything that happened last night and still found it incredible.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace was truly miraculous.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling all the fatigue erased, and a boundless strength within his body.


    He opened the door and stepped out of the resting room.


    Without turning on the lights.


    Moonlight streaming through the windows fell on the floor, and with Li Yuan''s vision, the moonlight was enough to see everything in the Martial Arts Room.


    "Phew!"


    "Boom!" Li Yuan didn''t pick up the spear, which might easily wake up Gu Qiang.


    He simply executed his fist technique, his fists and palms shifting, his footsteps moving, each punch he threw was forceful and resounded faintly through the air.


    Powerful and vigorous!


    "Exhilarating." Taking in the strong vigor coursing through his limbs and body, Li Yuan felt excited: "If I had this foundational strength during the combat assessment yesterday, killing the Moon Demon Wolf King would have been even easier."


    A Physical Quality of 9.6 was nearly at Entry Rank.


    ...


    After performing several sets of fist techniques and after a thorough release of energy.


    Li Yuan calmed down and returned to his room to think. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Is this the benefit of reaching a 10% Spiritual Awakening level?" Li Yuan mused.


    "Does Origin Power Entry mean guiding external Origin Power into the body to promote evolution?"


    "Then, the improvement in spiritual power must be because of the golden fog that appeared in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace?" Li Yuan thought back to his consciousness''s experience in the spiritual world.


    The Dark Space, the twinkling starlight, the ancient indistinct sounds, the spell formulas that seared into the depths of his heart¡­


    Li Yuan understood.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace seemed even more mysterious than he had initially thought.


    "Origin Power Entry uses Origin Power to drive evolution, so there should be no side effects." Li Yuan mused to himself: "At least, I''m not experiencing any adverse reactions now."


    Li Yuan had heard of some forbidden medicines that drastically increase strength.


    They completely overdraw the potential of life.


    "My spiritual power has improved so much."


    "The stairs in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, let''s try them again now." Li Yuan closed his eyes and his consciousness surged into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Only three seconds later.


    Li Yuan opened his eyes again, a look of shock in them: "The white jade staircase? It''s gone?"


    The white jade staircase that suddenly appeared in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace a few hours ago.


    It had now disappeared.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace had returned to normal.


    "Could it be that the entrance to the second layer only appears when I have the opportunity to guide Origin Power into my body?" Li Yuan speculated.


    He looked at the Divine Palace panel again.


    "Reaching a 10% Spiritual Awakening Level grants one chance for Origin Power Entry, so could reaching 20% perhaps grant another chance for Origin Power Entry?" Li Yuan harbored speculations.


    And a sliver of expectation.


    If my physical quality has improved by 0.7 level this time, what about next time? Wouldn''t that directly push me to Entry Rank?


    Reaching a 25% awakening? Spiritual guidance? Li Yuan felt it was still a bit far for him, especially since the current display showed a maximum awakening of only 20%.


    And Li Yuan didn''t yet know how to raise the limit.


    But Li Yuan was very clear about how to increase the awakening level from 12.8% to 20%¡ªby killing Star Realm Creatures.


    "It seems."


    "I need to find more opportunities for real combat like today." Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    He was very satisfied with his combat performance from yesterday.


    He had fought with all his might.


    Not having pushed his Spiritual Awakening level to 20% was within Li Yuan''s expectations.


    Time passed.


    "First, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace must continue to be explored and tried; it''ll probably be my biggest trump card for rising to power." There was a sparkle in Li Yuan''s eyes: "Second, my spiritual power level has surged, matching the characteristics of my spiritual power talent. No matter,"


    "Third, my physical quality skyrocketed overnight and if I don''t hide it, it will definitely attract attention."


    "At least for the next few days, I can''t participate in any physical testing and must avoid drawing any attention. I''ll just wait for the April adjustment exam to disclose it."


    Reveal it during the April exam? Li Yuan wasn''t panicking at all.


    "As long as they can''t detect my Mind Spirit Divine Palace, in the end, it will all be attributed to my exceptional talent." Li Yuan said with a calm smile.


    In this world, there are many special treasures and unparalleled geniuses... An improvement of one level in physical quality within a month is not without precedent.


    It''s not like it increased by 10 levels at once.


    "Thinking about it that way..."


    A slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuan''s mouth: "There are nearly three months left until the college entrance exam."


    "As long as there are no side effects from the Origin Power entering my body."


    "I, am fully hopeful that before the college entrance exam, I can elevate my physical quality to level 10.0," a glint flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes, "just like Wu Dongdong."


    "Both physical quality and martial arts skills maxed out."


    Previously, Li Yuan had planned to raise his physical quality to level 10.0 by this September.


    Now? He can at least be three months ahead of schedule.


    Martial arts cultivation has its golden age, one is from age 16 to 20, and next is from 20 to 30.


    The older you get, the more your body functions will gradually decline.


    After thinking everything through.


    "Three thirty? There are three and a half hours left until the seven o''clock assembly?" Li Yuan glanced at his smart ring watch.


    "My cooldown time on the Starry Skies Fighting Network has passed, let''s try and see if I can break through to the Fallen Star rank with 300 points in one go."


    Once reaching the Fallen Star rank with 300 points.


    Then, Li Yuan''s contract with the Starfire Martial Hall would be upgraded directly from B to A level.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan sat down in the virtual network cabin, connecting his consciousness.


    He entered the Starry Skies Fighting Network directly.


    Personal space.


    "Master, long time no see." The voice of the girl in purple was soft: "I''ve missed you so much."


    "Shut up."


    "Rank matching fight." Li Yuan directly clicked on the light screen, and just three seconds later.


    Match successful.


    Li Yuan disappeared, already entering the battle space.


    ...Five minutes later.


    Inside the battle space, the sixth opponent was turned to nothingness by Li Yuan''s two spears.


    "Congratulations... Points +4."


    "Your rank points have reached 1000, points can no longer be increased..." the system voice rang out: "Would you like to participate in the promotion match?"


    "I will participate," Li Yuan declared loudly.


    Hum~


    Li Yuan''s figure vanished from the arena, starting his sixth Fallen Star promotion match.


    ...


    The familiar ocean, the familiar islands, the familiar silhouettes of the Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    Li Yuan, holding a long spear, appeared.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!" All twelve Fish Spirit Clan warriors stared at Li Yuan with killing intent.


    "Seeing you guys really warms my heart," Li Yuan said with a slight smile, "sadly, this is the last time."


    The Fish Spirit Clan warriors were all stunned; they didn''t understand Li Yuan''s words.


    But they could sense that Li Yuan was smiling.


    Boom!


    Like a gust of wind, Li Yuan ''drifted'' towards the group of Fish Spirit warriors.


    "Boom!"


    "Roar!" More than a dozen Fish Spirits finally galloped forward, swinging their arms like blades of war, rushing towards Li Yuan.


    "Bring it on." Li Yuan grinned, and his long spear burst forth, with countless light shadows blossoming, the air itself seemed to be torn apart by the sweeping spear shadows.


    Stellar Illumination from the Stellar Techniques.


    "Puchi~" "Puf!" "Puf!"


    Wherever the long spear went, Fish Spirit warriors had their heads pierced, and they were turned into nothingness right after.


    A total of twelve spears!


    The battle was over.


    Having broken through spear technique and movement technique, and after experiencing the combat assessment, facing the dozen or so Fish Spirit warriors, Li Yuan had become quite composed, with not a single worry in his heart.


    Three seconds later.


    "Congratulations, Guardian Yuan, you have passed the promotion match, you have reached the Fallen Star rank, you are eligible to receive a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins." The system reminder sounded by Li Yuan''s ear.


    "Congratulations, Guardian Yuan, you have entered the ''Blue Star Young Heroes Ranking'', ranked globally at number [181], in Xia Country District at number[42], in Jiangbei Sub-district at[5], you can inquire about the detailed list in the following manner..."


    ...


    Swish! Li Yuan had returned to his personal space.


    "Congratulations, master, on making it to the Blue Star Young Heroes Ranking," the girl in purple said excitedly, "On the entire Blue Star, there are less than two hundred who have made the list."


    "What is the Blue Star Young Heroes Ranking?" Li Yuan asked directly.


    "Please look, Master."


    Soon, with Xiao Yu''s explanation, Li Yuan understood that other than the qualifications to be listed, this ranking followed the same rules as the ''Blue Star Youth Ranking.''


    The only difference was that you had to reach the Fallen Star rank to be listed.


    "That is to say, besides me, there are four more in Jiangbei province?" Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Besides Wu Dongdong, Wang Yu, and Tian Dazhuang, was there another?


    But Li Yuan didn''t care. There were countless geniuses in the world; what mattered was to improve and surpass himself.


    "Continue."


    "Fallen Star rank match." Li Yuan directly started his first Fallen Star rank match: "Anyway, it''s 0 points at Fallen Star now, if I lose, it''s still 0 points."


    "No risk of demotion."


    "What''s there to fear!"


    ...


    Li Yuan had no idea that at the moment his Starry Skies Fighting Network rank broke through to ''Fallen Star''.


    The corresponding departments in the Jiangbei Provincial Martial Arts Hall, Starfire Martial Hall ''Jiangbei Sub-hall'', and Starry Sky Martial Hall ''Jiangbei Sub-hall'', all received an urgent notification.

 Chapter 87: 84: The Gem in the Stone (Extra for 4000 monthly tickets)

    "Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal?" Wan Qinghe''s eyes flashed with confusion. What is that?


    He had heard of various kinds of marrow crystals.


    But he had never heard of one with this particular name.


    On the other hand, the black-robed elderly Fei Qian was startled upon hearing about it, "Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal? My lord, is it real?"


    This treasure, Fei Qian had only heard mentioned in passing by other Flying Heaven Warriors.


    He had never truly seen it.


    "Are you questioning my decision?" An icy female voice came from within the light screen.


    "I wouldn''t dare," Fei Qian quickly replied, his head involuntarily bowing down further.


    As the Hall Master of the provincial capital''s city and one of the top five figures in the Starfire Martial Hall branch of Jiangbei.


    In the eyes of ordinary people, he was absolutely powerful and influential.


    But it wasn''t just the top five¡ª even the three other Provincial Vice Hall Masters had to respectfully bow their heads in the presence of Lord Yang of the Province.


    There''s no alternative! It''s all about strength!


    From a 29th level Prime Warrior to a Flying Heaven Warrior, the difference is as vast as that between heaven and earth.


    Human Prime Warriors are powerful, with burst speeds reaching the speed of sound. It''s quite common for them to reduce a small town to rubble in a big battle, but they ultimately can''t fly, and their Origin Power is not unlimited. If surrounded with a large quantity of thermal weapons, there is hope of killing them.


    Flying Heaven Warrior?


    Bullets? Missiles? They might not even fly as fast as a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Apart from large-scale weapons of mass destruction like nuclear weapons, thermal weapons are basically ineffective.


    The key is to take them by surprise!


    Otherwise, if the Flying Heaven Warriors spot it from a distance, they just need to rapidly escape the nuclear blast''s center to survive.


    To call them human-shaped nuclear weapons is no exaggeration.


    "Beep~"


    The communication was abruptly cut off.


    "Whew!" Only then did Fei Qian let out a long breath and sat back down, casting a sideways glance at Wan Qinghe, who looked anxious beside him.


    "My dear Lord Wan," Fei Qian leaned back, legs on the office desk: "Are you trying to say I''m senile, or that I don''t value talent? Keep talking, I''m listening."


    In one second!


    Wan Qinghe''s face filled with smiles, his upper body leaning forward as he eagerly moved to pour tea, "Fei Lao, you misunderstood my meaning. You''re as sagacious as you said just now."


    How could Wan Qinghe not understand that Fei Qian must have reported Li Yuan''s information to Lord Yang after receiving it?


    Otherwise, why would the Provincial Hall Master come looking so quickly?


    "I came today, mentioning Li Yuan was just in passing. The main reason was to report to you about the recent preparations for the martial artist convention at the Guan Mountain branch..." Wan Qinghe spoke smoothly, respectfully offering the cup of tea, "Fei Lao, you can tell this tea is top-notch just by smelling it."


    "This tea was steeped last night."


    "I was too lazy to change it this morning, so I just added some boiled water," Fei Qian said as he took the cup and put it aside.


    "You''re talking about the previous pot," replied Wan Qinghe, smiling honestly. "This pot, I brewed it anew while you went out just now."


    "You little rascal." Fei Qian laughed and shook his head: "You must have cursed me eight hundred times in your heart."


    "I wouldn''t dare."


    "If I didn''t know how wise and magnanimous Fei Lao is, how would I dare to come directly?" said Wan Qinghe righteously.


    "Enough chit-chat," said the black-robed elder Fei Qian seriously. "This Li Yuan you mentioned is indeed decent. Even before his information was sent to me, I had already received the notification that he entered the ''Fallen Star Stage'' on the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "Fallen Star Stage?" Wan Qinghe nodded, not at all surprised.


    "Combining your information."


    "To give him an A-level contract would actually be quite adequate," Fei Qian said smilingly. "But I chose to apply for an S-level contract for him. Do you know why?"


    Wan Qinghe shook his head.


    An A-level contract, Fei Qian as the city''s Hall Master, could decide on his own.


    But an S-level contract? That would require the consent of the Provincial Hall Master or at least two Vice Provincial Hall Masters.


    "Progress speed," Fei Qian uttered these four words.


    Wan Qinghe pondered thoughtfully.


    "The trajectory of martial arts talents usually falls into two categories," Fei Qian said with a smile. "The first type is like that of Jing He, who stood out in their youth and rose spectacularly, shining bright all the way. Tian Dazhuang, who was signed by the Martial Arts Hall this year, also somewhat fits this description."


    Wan Qinghe nodded; he had heard of Tian Dazhuang.


    In fact, among the senior evaluations of various forces, Tian Dazhuang was considered slightly better than Wu Dongdong.


    Physical quality is indeed important.


    But Tian Dazhuang''s physical quality is deficient mainly because he lacks resources. Once the follow-up resources catch up, he may well match Wu Dongdong.


    "The second type is ''Fang Hai,''" Fei Qian said. "They start off incredibly dazzling, but as time goes on... they don''t seem as strong anymore."


    Wan Qinghe nodded again.


    Fang Hai was a figure who left his mark in the history of Xia Country''s martial arts and even that of Blue Star. A martial artist of the Fourth Level at fourteen and Fifth Stage at sixteen... a complete monster.


    He was once considered by Starfire Martial Hall as a once-in-a-generation talent with potential to rival Hall Master ''Dongfang Ji''.


    Later on... although his achievements were still decent, they were much lower than the lowest expectations.


    "Then, there''s a very small group, a third kind of trajectory that is an exception to the two types: hidden gems within uncut stones," Fei Qian said with a smile.


    "Hidden gems within uncut stones?" Wan Qinghe savored this metaphor.


    "At first like a rough stone; as the outer layer peels away, the true nature slowly becomes apparent," Fei Qian said softly with a smile. "And the more they are polished, the more they shine, eventually becoming a masterpiece passed down through generations."


    Wan Qinghe held his breath: "Fei Lao means to say, Li Yuan is¡­?"


    "It''s too early to make a definitive judgment," Fei Qian said with a smile. "But if you only look at his middle school data, you can only say he was a decent middle schooler."


    Wan Qinghe nodded in agreement.


    "He accelerated his progress in the first year of high school; it was even faster in his second year," Fei Qian continued. "These past six months entering the third year, it''s been terrifying. In terms of progress speed, he''s even more exaggerated than other S-level students."


    Wan Qinghe nodded: "Fei Lao''s insight is profound."


    "Whether he is an uncut gem remains to be seen," Fei Qian said with a smile. "But at the very least, he''s a piece of jade."


    "Lord Yang of the Province probably had a similar line of thought, which is why she promised the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal."


    "What exactly is the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal?" Wan Qinghe couldn''t help but ask.


    "Don''t ask," Fei Qian cut him off.


    "Wait until Li Yuan comes back... Not today, I have to go to Xia Country''s headquarters. I won''t return for twenty days," Fei Qian spoke. "Your request has been approved; you''ll stand in for me in signing the contract. Bring him to me when I return."


    "Yes," said Wan Qinghe with a nod.


    "Go," instructed Fei Qian. "Pay close attention to Li Yuan. Report any changes at any time. Handle small matters as you see fit."


    "Yes."


    ...


    Wan Qinghe left Fei Qian''s office and headed straight for the third floor.


    He entered one of the offices.


    "Old Wan, what brings you to my office?" A chubby middle-aged man was flipping through documents.


    "Old Hu, Fei Lao sent me to ask you for a favor," Wan Qinghe whispered, indicating it was something discreet.


    The chubby middle-aged man immediately realized it was a private matter.


    "What?" He also lowered his voice.


    "You know, a house just became available in the Starfire South Lake district, right?" Wan Qinghe nudged the chubby middle-aged man''s arm and winked.


    The chubby middle-aged man got up and went to the door, looked around, closed it, and then spoke up: "Which one?"


    "That one in District One?"


    "You''re well-informed," the chubby middle-aged man said. "For whom?"


    "For a kid who''s about to sign an A-level contract. According to the contract level, he''s entitled to move into District Two for free." Wan Qinghe whispered, "Mr. Fei meant for him to be upgraded to District One."


    "District One, that''s at least for a Prime Warrior, or an S-level contract," the chubby middle-aged man frowned. "Or you''d need a special permit from the city''s Martial Hall."


    "Weren''t this year''s special quotas already insufficient? If I could issue the permit, why would Mr. Fei have sent me to see you?" Wan Qinghe smiled. "Tiger, I''ve sent you the information. Mr. Fei wants you to think of something."


    "I''ll be waiting for your good news then, I''ll treat you to a meal next time."


    With that, Wan Qinghe didn''t wait for a reply, turned around, opened the door, and closed it behind him.


    Done in one go.


    "An A-level contract?"


    "Passed the review five minutes ago?" The chubby middle-aged man muttered as he glanced over Li Yuan''s data in the contract: "Li Yuan? Isn''t he the one who hasn''t even awakened his Martial Spirit?"


    The file didn''t have Li Yuan''s latest situation.


    The middle-aged man wasn''t worried about Wan Qinghe lying.


    Having just reviewed an A-level contract meant that Hall Master Fei had just looked it over, and considering Wan Qinghe immediately came to find him... the answer was nearly obvious.


    "Could he be Hall Master Fei''s illegitimate son? Hey, they do look quite similar."


    The more the middle-aged man looked, the more convinced he became.


    ...


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University, after lunch, everyone returned to their dorms to pack up their belongings.


    "Aunt."


    Li Yuan received a video call from his Aunt Chen Hui.


    "Huh? Uncle was at Base Three before? Not Base Seven?"


    "Has Base Three been relieved already? Good! That''s great!" Li Yuan acted as though he had just found out, his face flushed with excitement, comforting his aunt.


    These past few days, he had exchanged messages with his aunt twice.


    "Aunt, I ranked first in the combat assessment yesterday," Li Yuan said with a smile. "I performed very well in this event. Jiangbei Martial University and the military jointly awarded me 3.5 million Blue Star Coins, everything''s going well, don''t worry."


    "I''ll be home tonight." Li Yuan also shared the recent good news with his aunt.


    As for reaching the Fallen Star rank?


    Since he wasn''t upgraded to an A-level contract directly, Li Yuan didn''t want to disclose too much yet.


    He hung up the phone.


    "Based on what Lanyue told me, she knows more than the news reports; Base Three should be safe now." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "But still, there''s been no news."


    "I have no idea what''s really going on."


    All morning, he kept checking the news about the war in the Rob Sea area, but there was nothing new.


    "Li Yuan, let''s go," called Gu Qiangh¨¤n, shouldering his bag.


    "Okay, all set."


    ...


    Two o''clock in the afternoon.


    At Jiangbei Martial University, the vast runway was crowded with a large number of flying vehicles.


    "Li Yuan, see you online if we get a chance," Tian Dazhuang said with a smile, greeting Li Yuan.


    "Sure," Li Yuan replied, waving his hand with a smile.


    The two had added each other on V Chat and, although they had just met and hadn''t talked much, they had mutual respect for each other, sensing a kindred spirit.


    Shortly after.


    "Li Yuan, I''m off too. Come over to my place when you have time." Wu Dongdong showed his small tiger teeth.


    "No problem," Li Yuan said with a laugh. Wu Dongdong had a straightforward personality and got along very easily with others.


    Shortly after.


    Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue boarded a flying vehicle and headed towards Jiang City''s Guan Mountain District.


    They arrived at the university by three in the afternoon.


    The President, several Vice-Presidents, and Xu Bo were already at the athletic field to welcome Li Yuan and his group.


    "Haha, good! Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, the school is already aware of your performances and we''re all happy for you," President Tan Zhenlong said with a beaming smile. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The other school leaders also wore broad smiles.


    They all felt that the school''s ''college entrance exam achievements'' were getting more and more solid by the minute.


    "The school has decided."


    "To award Student Li Yuan with a scholarship of two hundred thousand," Tan Zhenlong announced earnestly. "And to award Lin Lanyue with one hundred thousand in scholarship."


    "The other students receive rewards as well..."


    The false smiles on the faces of Li Yuan, Dong Haifeng, and the others finally turned into genuine ones.


    Money was the real deal!


    ...


    After the welcome ceremony, Lin Lanyue and Dong Haifeng made their way to their respective Martial Arts Rooms while Li Yuan was singled out by Xu Bo.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan said respectfully.


    "You did well this time, you''ve really made me proud," Xu Bo said with a smile.


    "Thanks to the teacher''s guidance," Li Yuan replied earnestly.


    "Haha," Xu Bo laughed.


    His view of Li Yuan was different from that of other students.


    To him, other students were just that¡ªstudents.


    But Li Yuan was like his half-disciple.


    "Alright, come to my office, Lord Wan has been waiting for you for quite some time," Xu Bo said.


    "Lord Wan?" Li Yuan was slightly puzzled. "Is there something the matter?"


    "It should be about the contract upgrade, but it seems to be more than just a mere A-level contract," Xu Bo said. "He didn''t want to say much to me."


    "Contract upgrade?" Li Yuan was astonished. He hadn''t yet met the standards for an A-level contract.


    "Oh, right!"


    "There''s something else," Xu Bo''s expression suddenly became more serious. "My friend just sent me news that the first group from Base Three has been rescued."


    "Your uncle''s name is on the list."


    "But it seems he''s injured, and the situation doesn''t look very optimistic," Xu Bo hesitated before adding, "You need to be mentally prepared."

 Chapter 88: 85 A-level Contracts and Connections (Additional Chapter for 6000 Monthly Votes)

    "Injured? Prepare myself mentally?" Li Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    A pang in the heart.


    "Teacher." Li Yuan immediately asked, "Teacher, what exactly happened to my uncle?"


    "Calm down and listen to me," Xu Bo said, "Based on the information I just received, the battles at Base Three these past few days have been extremely brutal. Several times, the alien forces almost breached the fortress defenses."


    "Your uncle, in these battles, could have been reinforcing the defensive fortifications with all his might, and seems to have made considerable contributions. He has been awarded the Third Class Silver Medal," Xu Bo said solemnly.


    "Third Class Silver Medal?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    To boost morale, the state awards medals to those who have rendered meritorious service. Although there are numerous titles, they are generally classified, from highest to lowest, as the National Defense Medal, Gold Medal, Silver Medal, and Bronze Medal, with each category subdivided into First Class, Second Class, and Third Class.


    Four ranks, twelve levels.


    A Third Class Silver Medal may not seem much, but for an ordinary middle-to-lower level manager in a state-owned enterprise, it is an incredible achievement.


    Uncle, what on earth did you do?


    "The situation at the frontline is urgent; I don''t understand the specifics as I only found out twenty minutes ago," Xu Bo said gravely, "your uncle seems to have been poisoned by some special toxin, and his condition is deteriorating."


    "The second temporary hospital lacks doctors, medication, and equipment to treat him."


    "The Star Realm environment is complex and totally different from Blue Star, with various peculiar toxins."


    "The methods of powerful Star Realm creatures are often beyond comprehension."


    "To save your uncle, we must rush him back to Jiang City to see specialists as soon as possible, to find a solution."


    "If we delay by another two or three days, I''m afraid there won''t be a chance left."


    "But at the moment, although Base Three''s danger has been temporarily averted, arranging for personnel and a flyer to airlift a single person from the temporary hospital there isn''t easy," Xu Bo sighed helplessly, "none of the people I know have that capability."


    Li Yuan''s heart quivered as if struck by thunder.


    He sensed from Teacher Xu Bo''s words that this poison was no ordinary matter.


    It might not even be poison!


    "Uncle." Li Yuan''s heart felt as if pricked by a needle.


    Was the figure who, like a father, had loved and guided him from a young age, in such grave danger now?


    This moment!


    Li Yuan wished he could fly immediately to the Rob Sea frontlines and bring his uncle back.


    "Li Yuan, listen to me, there''s still a chance," Xu Bo, observing Li Yuan''s emotional changes, said somberly, "Now, meeting Lord Wan is the opportunity to save your uncle."


    "Please speak, Teacher," Li Yuan struggled to calm himself.


    He remembered his uncle''s teachings.


    In critical moments, before making any decision, one must remain calm.


    "Getting your uncle immediate treatment isn''t a matter of money," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, "it''s about the priority of medical treatment. The people I know are unable to increase your uncle''s medical priority, understand?"


    "Ask Starfire Martial Hall to help me?" Li Yuan said softly, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.


    "Right."


    "Now, the senior management of Starfire Martial Hall is taking note of you, probably to help you upgrade your contract," Xu Bo nodded, seriously, "You are already on a B-level contract. Once upgraded, it would be an A-level contract."


    "An A-level contract signifies that Jiang City''s Hall Master has recognized you."


    "Thus, if the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall intervene, there is hope to quickly airlift your uncle back," Xu Bo continued, "Though the war is urgent, Base Three has been relieved, so squeezing out a flyer is possible."


    "The frontlines are governed by a decision-making layer collectively formed by Starfire Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, and the military."


    Li Yuan understood.


    To quickly bring his uncle back, someone with sufficient authority needed to speak on his behalf.


    "Teacher, take me to meet Lord Wan," Li Yuan urged.


    Now, Li Yuan did not want to waste a single minute.


    "Follow me."


    ...


    In Xu Bo''s office.


    Xu Bo did not enter; it was Li Yuan who came in alone.


    "Li Yuan, congratulations. Your impressive performance in the challenge event was truly eye-opening," said Wan Qinghe, dressed in a Tang suit, with a smile, "Please, take a seat and we''ll talk at leisure."


    "Lord Wan," Li Yuan managed a strained smile, his heart urgent, yet he also knew he couldn''t blurt out his request.


    Wan Qinghe observed Li Yuan.


    He felt, after not seeing him for several months, that Li Yuan''s physical qi and blood, along with his spiritual power, had greatly improved. Most importantly, there was an incredibly mysterious aura about him.


    It was very faint, but Wan Qinghe, with his cultivation in spiritual secret techniques, could sense it.


    A taste honed by the baptism of slaughter.


    "Li Yuan, given your outstanding performance in the challenge event and your rise to the Fallen Star rank on the Starry Skies Fighting Network," Lord Wan smiled faintly, "I reported to Fei Qian first thing this morning, that is, Jiang City''s Hall Master."


    "I formally requested to upgrade your contract to an A-level contract."


    Jiang City''s Hall Master? Li Yuan understood; this was a real VIP.


    "Haven''t I still not met the standards yet?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but say.


    "Your performance in other areas has been excellent, which is sufficient," Lord Wan smiled, "Moreover, with your rate of improvement, you will undoubtedly meet the standards before turning eighteen; why delay?"


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; there were still five months until his eighteenth birthday.


    "Take a look at the terms of the A-level contract," Lord Wan tapped on his smart bracelet.


    Hum~


    Li Yuan felt a slight vibration on his wrist as he received a document and quickly opened it to review.


    He swiftly flipped through the pages.


    Compared to the B-level contract, the terms of the A-level contract had no changes, except for the resources provided.


    A B-level contract offers 1.5 million in cash and 1.5 million points annually, along with 3 million cultivation points.


    The A-level contract, however, provides 6 million in cash and 6 million points annually, as well as 12 million cultivation points.


    That''s a fourfold increase.


    The total value of the contract, just in cash and points, amounts to 72 million Blue Star Coins.


    Of course, it is distributed over six years.


    Once signed, Starfire Martial Hall would immediately settle the difference for the first year of the two contracts.


    The terms of this contract are nothing short of astonishing.


    It is hardly inferior to the ''S-level Special Training Contract'' of Kunlun Martial University, and in some ways, it''s even better.


    Because, if the pace of progress does not meet the expectations of Kunlun Martial University''s special training contract, it can be downgraded.


    But with Starfire Martial Hall''s contracts, once signed, they will not be downgraded.


    "Hmm?"


    "A 20% increase in benefits every year?" Li Yuan was surprised when he saw the additional clause at the end of the contract.


    "Yes, this is an order specially given by Lord Yang of the Province after understanding your situation. The Provincial Hall Master pays a lot of attention to you," Wan Qinghe said with a smile.


    Seeing Li Yuan''s confusion.


    "The Provincial Hall Master, that is, the Hall Master of the Jiangbei Provincial Hall," Wan Qinghe reminded, "can only be held by a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "Provincial Hall Master? Flying Heaven Warrior?" Li Yuan held his breath; this was definitely an existence at the pinnacle of power and martial might in Xia Country.


    Usually, one would only hear about them in major news.


    Such a person, paying attention to him?


    In Li Yuan''s mind, even a Prime Warrior was already a significant figure.


    "Don''t underestimate yourself," Hall Master Wan said with a smile. "Your talent is certainly worthy of the Provincial Hall Master''s attention."


    Upon hearing this, Li Yuan felt a stir in his heart.


    "Additionally."


    "The Provincial Hall Master has promised that if you manage to break through to the 5th Rank in your skills before the age of 20, you''ll be eligible for an S-class contract and receive a ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal,''" Wan Qinghe said with a smile. "Once you officially sign electronically, this clause will be added to the ''special contract'' in the Starfire Space."


    "Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal? What is that?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "A priceless treasure," Hall Master Wan spoke vaguely: "After you sign the contract, you will receive an explanation about the treasure when the time is right."


    In fact, Hall Master Wan himself did not fully understand it.


    But in his opinion, any treasure specially mentioned by the Provincial Hall Master must be an extraordinary treasure, beyond monetary measurement.


    "Of course, that''s provided you meet the requirements."


    "The S-class contract of the Martial Hall, in terms of difficulty and compensation, although not as good as the SS-class special training contract of universities, is still far superior to the S-class special training contract of universities," Hall Master Wan said with a laugh.


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded. Merely from the treatment of this A-class contract, one could glean its significance.


    "Willing to sign?" Hall Master Wan appeared relaxed as he looked at Li Yuan. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I am willing."


    "Thank you for the cultivation the Martial Hall has provided me," Li Yuan said without hesitation. "And thank you, Hall Master, for your help. Without your assistance and recommendation all along, the City Hall Master and the Provincial Hall Master would definitely not have offered me this contract."


    Hesitation is not loyalty; loyalty does not hesitate.


    This was a lesson Uncle Li Changzhou had taught Li Yuan many times.


    Once such a decision akin to taking a side is made, there can be no hesitation.


    Moreover, Li Yuan truly felt grateful to them.


    "Good," Hall Master Wan showed a satisfied smile: "I didn''t help much; it''s all because you have been diligent enough."


    "By the way."


    "I have applied for a villa for you in the ''No.1 district'' of the South Lake Starfire Community, with a twenty-year residence right, free for the first ten years, and then just a property management fee annually for the next ten years," Wan Qinghe said with a smile. "It should be suitable for your family to live in."


    "In a couple of days, the move-in notice and related instructions will be sent to your Starfire Space. You can arrange to move when you find the time." Wan Qinghe did not bring up Fei Qian at all.


    This was his personal favor.


    "South Lake Starfire Community?" Li Yuan was surprised; that was one of the top communities in Guan Mountain District.


    It was also known as the safest villa community.


    One villa, to rent for a year, probably cost hundreds of thousands of Blue Star Coins, not to mention the eligibility to reside there.


    Even with money, one couldn''t buy the eligibility to live there.


    "Hall Master, me?" Li Yuan didn''t know how to start.


    If you add it all up, the value of this A-class contract was indeed extremely high.


    "Don''t worry, just live in peace."


    "It has always been the philosophy of our Starfire Martial Hall to allow top talents to pursue the ultimate in the Martial Path without distractions and to contribute to the entire human civilization," Wan Qinghe said, feeding Li Yuan some inspirational words. "I believe in you, that in the future, you will definitely secure an S-class contract, or even become a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    Li Yuan took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Thank you, Hall Master."


    "Do you have any other requests?" Wan Qinghe asked with a smile. "Anything I can solve, I will help you resolve."


    "If I can''t resolve it, I will report it upward and try my best to help you."


    He looked at Li Yuan sincerely.


    "Hall Master, I do have something I need help with from the Martial Hall," Li Yuan said, as if he had made a tough decision.


    "Speak!"


    Quickly, Li Yuan recounted the situation regarding his uncle to Hall Master Wan.


    "A Third-Class Silver Medal?"


    "Your uncle? The Second Temporary Hospital?" Wan Qinghe nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I''ve noted it down. I will immediately contact the warriors of the Starfire Martial Hall in Rob Sea and try my best to arrange it."


    "However."


    "I can''t fully guarantee it," Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan.


    "Thank you, Hall Master," Li Yuan''s eyes reddened slightly.


    ...


    After sending off Hall Master Wan.


    "Hall Master Wan agreed?" Xu Bo entered the room and asked.


    "Yes, but he also didn''t dare to fully guarantee it," Li Yuan nodded and managed a weak smile: "Teacher, I''ll head back to the Martial Arts Room for now; I want some time alone."


    "Okay, let me know if you need anything," Xu Bo said, knowing the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Changzhou.


    Not father and son, but closer than most.


    Back at Martial Arts Room 4011.


    Li Yuan pondered for a while before he decided to dial a V-call number on his smart ring.


    "Beep~beep~"


    Connected!


    "Li Yuan? Have you returned to Jiang City?" A rough voice with a hint of laughter came from the other end of the call.


    "President Li, there is something I''d like to ask for your help with," Li Yuan said directly.


    "Speak."


    ...


    A few minutes later, after hanging up the call with President Li, Li Yuan dialed another V-call number.


    Soon.


    "Li Yuan?" a gentle voice came from the call: "What can I do for you?"


    "Senior Ji, I''m sorry to disturb you," Li Yuan started, "I have an urgent matter and I would like to consult you."

    ```


    After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan stood by the window, looking at the cherry blossom trees in full bloom along the walkway in the distance.


    The cherry blossoms in March are really beautiful.


    But Li Yuan had no interest in enjoying the view, his mood was oppressively somber, his mind echoing the words of his teacher Xu Bo from earlier.


    Just now, Li Yuan had forcefully suppressed his impulsiveness, patiently communicated with Lord Wan to understand the other party''s attitude and thoughts before he made his request.


    "What could be done, has been done," Li Yuan murmured as he gently closed his eyes, "It must succeed."


    The window was open.


    Li Yuan just stood there quietly, letting the wind brush against his face.


    Waiting for the news.


    ...


    Half an hour later, when the bell rang signaling the end of class and dinnertime had come.


    Inside Martial Arts Room 4001.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Sword lights danced, lively yet strong, as the girl in red practice clothes trained in swordsmanship.


    Suddenly.


    Beep~ "Master, there is a video call from your second brother. Would you like to answer?" the voice of the assistant AI sounded.


    "Second brother?"


    Lin Lanyue was slightly startled, immediately saying, "Answer it!"


    Swoosh~


    Countless rays of light converged, forming a holographic projection not far away, and a handsome man in black battle garment appeared on the screen.


    "Second brother," Lin Lanyue greeted with a smile.


    "Have you returned to school from Jiangbei Martial University?" the handsome man asked, observing the background in Lin Lanyue''s video.


    "Yes," Lin Lanyue nodded, "Second brother, is there any news?"


    "Yes," the man''s smile faded, "Didn''t you ask me to find someone named ''Li Changzhou'' this morning?"


    Lin Lanyue nodded quickly, "Yes, brother, is there news?"


    "I have found him."


    The man nodded, "He is seriously injured, just transferred to the base where I''m stationed, No. 7 Base, this afternoon. I went to see him personally; he has been poisoned with Flame Erosive Bone Poison and began slipping into a coma this afternoon."


    "Flame Erosive Bone Poison? What is that?" Lin Lanyue asked, perplexed.


    "It is a toxin originating from a Third Rank Flame Serpent Demon," the man said solemnly, "He likely became infected during the final crazy onslaught by Star Realm Creatures at Base No. 3... The Flame Erosive Bone Poison from Star Realm is much weaker than the original toxin."


    "Third Rank Flame Serpent Demon?" Lin Lanyue''s face showed concern.


    She didn''t know what a Flame Serpent Demon was, but she understood the meaning of Third Rank.


    That was a terrifying existence on the same level as a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "Is there a cure?" Lin Lanyue pressed.


    "If he was brought here a day earlier, he could have been saved," the man shook his head slightly, "But now... it''s difficult to treat, especially since Rob Sea has no antidote."


    "Right now, the toxin has penetrated deep into his bone marrow, he''s becoming more and more in pain and weak."


    "He can''t last much longer."


    "Who is this Li Changzhou to you? He shouldn''t be related to you, right?" the man inquired, "Why are you suddenly looking for him?"


    "Brother, don''t ask," Lin Lanyue said with a frown, urgently, "Just tell me, what can be done to save him?"


    "To save him now, the best thing that I know of is the ''Flame Tung Spiritual Spring,''" the man said, "This thing, Blue Star probably doesn''t even have it, and you know that better than I do."


    Lin Lanyue''s face changed again, she didn''t know about other treasures, but she was well aware of the Flame Tung Spiritual Spring.


    It was not very expensive, but extremely rare.


    Crucially, its source was not on Blue Star.


    "And it needs to be quick," the man added, "In two days at most, he is certain to die."


    "Two days?"


    Lin Lanyue was startled, after a short contemplation, she said, "Brother, could you arrange a flight transport to immediately bring him back from Rob Sea?"


    "Just before I contacted you, he had already been placed on a flight transport," the man said, "Based on the timing, he should be able to return to Jiang City by about ten o''clock tonight."


    "That quickly?" said Lin Lanyue.


    "He was supposed to be awarded a medal. Under normal circumstances, if he hadn''t been pushed back by others, he should have been scheduled to be moved out of Base No. 3 and wouldn''t have waited until the afternoon," the man shook his head, "Just now, in a moment, the military, Starfire Martial Hall, and Kunlun Martial University all contacted my No.


    7 Base asking about his condition, hoping for him to be quickly arranged to return to Jiang City."


    "So, I rearranged the transport, urgently sending him and another group of injured back to Jiang City," the man explained.


    Now it was Lin Lanyue''s turn to be surprised.


    So many forces making calls, could it be Li Yuan?


    "Okay, second brother, I got it," Lin Lanyue shook her head, "I have to hang up now; I''ve got something else to handle."


    Lin Lanyue immediately ended the call.


    After some thought, she took out another smart wristband from her backpack.


    She dialed another V-call number.


    Beep~ Beep~ Each tone seemed especially drawn out.


    A full minute later, the call finally connected, but it was not a video call, just an audio conversation.


    "Xiao Yue, what''s up?" a hoarse voice came through the phone.


    "Uncle, I need your help with something."


    ...


    As evening approached, in Martial Arts Room 4011.


    Suddenly, the doorbell rang, awakening Li Yuan, who was waiting anxiously.


    He hurried to open the door. "Teacher."


    "I''ve just received news, your uncle has been put on a rescue flight transport and is expected to arrive at Tianhe Airport in four hours, around ten o''clock tonight," Xu Bo said in a low voice.


    Li Yuan was immediately overjoyed.


    At that moment, Li Yuan''s smart wristband also began to ring; it was a call from Hall Master Wan.


    Li Yuan promptly answered, and soon after, hung up.


    "How did it go?" Xu Bo asked.


    "Hall Master Wan said he has already arranged a small flight transport that will transfer my uncle directly from the airport to Xieji Hospital," Li Yuan''s voice was tinged with excitement.


    Xieji Hospital is one of the top-tier hospitals in Xia Country, considered first-rate even by the standards of the entire Blue Star.


    After all, Xia Country is the strongest nation on Blue Star.


    "That''s good; you should notify your aunt now to wait at the airport," Xu Bo said.


    ```


    ...


    For Li Yuan, today felt unusually long.


    10 o''clock at night.


    When he had already rushed to the airport and saw his Uncle Li Changzhou''s stretcher being pushed off the plane.


    Li Changzhou''s skin was slightly greenish, his face was withered, and he had fallen into a deep coma.


    Clearly, the poisoning was severe.


    "Uncle," even though Li Yuan had braced himself for this possibility, seeing this sight still twisted his heart like a knife.


    "Changzhou," Aunt Chen Hui could no longer hold back, tears streaming down her face as she threw herself beside the stretcher, shouting Li Changzhou''s name loudly.


    "Aunt, we must hurry," Li Yuan suppressed the pain in his heart and forcibly lifted his aunt, speaking in a low voice, "Lord Wan, please help us."


    "Li Yuan."


    Lord Wan, who was standing nearby, spoke softly, "Don''t worry, I have arranged for the best doctors to conduct a consultation surgery overnight, doing everything possible to keep your uncle alive."


    "Okay, thank you," Li Yuan nodded.


    Li Changzhou''s stretcher was loaded onto a small aircraft and quickly headed toward the hospital.


    All the doctors were already in place at the hospital.


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan, along with his aunt, got into the car that had been waiting for some time.


    "Li Yuan, that person just now, was he the Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall?" Sitting in the car, Chen Hui regained some of her composure.


    Right now, her heart was filled with uncertainty.


    In these past days, she had been filled with worry. The husband who had supported the entire family was nearly down, and from the looks of it, he was nearing death.


    Yet what truly shocked her was Li Yuan.


    In fact, she had already received a message from Li Changzhou''s colleague in the afternoon and knew about the danger Li Changzhou was in.


    However, she was helpless to do anything.


    Chen Hui had never expected that Li Yuan could arrange for an aircraft to bring her husband back overnight from nearly ten thousand miles away at the Rob Sea frontline.


    "Aunt."


    "Rest assured," Li Yuan comforted in a low voice, "my talent has shown to be extremely high, and the Starfire Martial Hall values me greatly. They will definitely be able to save Uncle."


    "What about the treatment costs?" Chen Hui was very worried.


    Utilizing aircraft and organizing a medical consultation like this would certainly be very costly.


    "Aunt, I currently have over one million on me, and a few million more will be credited soon," Li Yuan said in a low voice, "Even if we need money urgently here, it won''t be difficult for me to borrow a few million more."


    Li Yuan believed, if he needed to borrow money, there would be no shortage of people willing to lend it to him.


    "That money is for your subsequent cultivation," Chen Hui said, shaking her head.


    "Aunt, I forgot to tell you that today, the Martial Hall upgraded my contract from a B-level to an A-level," Li Yuan said solemnly, "4.5 million Blue Star Coins will be credited tomorrow; we won''t lack funds."


    "4.5 million Blue Star Coins?" Chen Hui was even more shocked.


    "Aunt, don''t worry."


    "As long as Uncle can be saved, even if it costs ten million, one hundred million, I''ll find a way," Li Yuan''s voice carried a fearsome determination.


    He had been desperately cultivating since middle school.


    Fighting his way to this day.


    Apart from the martial artist dreams he harbored in his heart, his greatest desire was to not let his uncle and aunt down, to validate their efforts.


    He wanted the entire family to live a better life.


    If he lost his family, what would be the point of cultivating so desperately?


    ...


    By the time Li Yuan and his aunt arrived at the hospital, Li Changzhou''s surgery had already begun.


    Xu Bo and Wan Qinghe were already waiting there.


    In light of Li Changzhou''s condition and to prepare for the worst, Wan Qinghe had arranged for the warriors of the Starfire Martial Hall to bring over Li Qianqian and Li Muhua.


    Chen Hui consoled Li Qianqian and Li Muhua.


    "Li Yuan."


    Wan Qinghe came over, found Li Yuan, and said solemnly, "Before your uncle was put on the plane, someone at Base Seven recognized the toxin."


    "It''s called the Flame Erosive Bone Poison."


    Wan Qinghe quickly briefed Li Yuan on the general origins of the toxin.


    "From a Third Rank Flame Serpent Demon?" Li Yuan''s face changed color.


    Third Rank warriors referred to the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Right now, your uncle''s only chance lies in the fact that the toxin is not the original poison," Wan Qinghe said seriously, "After all, the Third Rank alien powerhouses from the other side of Rob Sea cannot enter the Star Realm."

    "They use only a concocted toxin, which is much less toxic."


    "So there''s hope," said Wan Qinghe, "Now, it''s up to the doctors."


    Li Yuan also looked towards the closed doors of the distant surgery room.


    "Additionally, we''ve also clarified the reason your uncle was poisoned," Wan Qinghe continued, "At the time, a defensive fortification in one direction of the war fortress was destroyed, the poison spread, and no laborer dared to go up. Star Realm creatures kept coming in to slaughter."


    "Your uncle risked his life driving a large engineering vehicle to the gap, blocking the breach in the fortress, enduring several attacks from Second Level Star Realm creatures, and delayed until the Prime Warrior came to the rescue."


    "In the end, your uncle was poisoned, but he also saved more than a hundred workers and, crucially, held back the Star Realm creatures'' offensive."


    "This is also why your uncle was awarded a medal," Wan Qinghe sighed, "Your uncle''s character is truly admirable, and it''s no wonder he was able to raise someone like you."


    "The reason I''ve gone to such lengths to save your uncle is partly because of you, but not just because of you," Wan Qinghe said, "It''s also because your uncle is someone who deserves help."


    "Such a hero shouldn''t die."


    Li Yuan fell silent, involuntarily picturing the scenario that Lord Wan had described; it must have been extremely brutal.


    At the same time.


    Li Yuan remembered last September, the night his uncle was leaving for the Rob Sea Star Realm frontline, he had said to him before leaving¡ª


    "Little Yuan, I could choose not to go to Rob Sea, but if I don''t, someone else will have to take my place."


    "This war, someone has to go, right?"


    ...


    Time passed, and the surgery continued until after 4 a.m.


    Li Qianqian, Li Muhua, and the others had fallen asleep leaning against each other.


    Wan Qinghe had other matters to attend to and had left earlier.


    Xu Bo was still here, along with several of Li Changzhou''s good friends like Zhong Cheng, Uncle Wang and others who had come.


    And Li Yuan, stood silently at the door of the surgery room, waiting.


    "Clang~"


    The door of the surgery room opened.

 Chapter 90: 87: She Went to Feixing (10,000 Monthly Tickets Plus)

    The operating room door opened, and two doctors walked out.


    Sigh! Li Yuan immediately lifted his head, his eyes filled with anticipation.


    Wah-lah~


    Some in the distance were awake, some half-asleep, but at this moment, all of them were wide awake, rushing forward to surround the doctors in the center.


    "Who''s in charge here?" The lead doctor scanned the crowd, but didn''t see Wan Qinghe.


    In an instant, everyone turned to look at Li Yuan and Chen Hui.


    So much time had passed.


    Li Changzhou''s friends had all come to understand the full details of today''s events and knew that Li Yuan was no longer the person he used to be.


    "Doctor, tell me, how''s my uncle?" Li Yuan''s voice was low.


    "You must be Mr. Li Yuan." The doctor let out a sigh, "This poison is not a common one on Blue Star, but an Origin Power toxin. Your uncle arrived too late, and the toxicity has spread deeply throughout his body. I''m sorry, we''ve done all we could."


    Boom!


    This sentence, like a bolt from the blue, made Li Yuan''s heart turn instantly cold.


    His aunt, Chen Hui, was already weeping inconsolably.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua, the siblings, also turned a ghastly pale, understanding the gravity of the situation.


    "Mr. Li Yuan, we will use special medication for half a day to slightly improve your uncle''s condition and then bring him back to consciousness," another doctor hurriedly said. "But it''s estimated that he can only maintain it for about half an hour."


    "This wakefulness is probably his last."


    "After that, he will fall into a deep sleep again, and it will be very hard for him to wake up."


    "I think if there''s anything you want to say, you should take the opportunity when the time comes."


    ...


    The next day in the afternoon, after three o''clock.


    In a high-level ward.


    After surgery, Li Changzhou''s body had been slightly cleaned up, covered with a blanket, and full of tubes.


    His face was withered and pallid, but he had regained consciousness.


    Li Yuan, Chen Hui, Li Muhua, and Li Qianqian, the whole family, fought back their tears, dressed in sterile gowns, gathered around the bed.


    "Xiawei, I''m sorry."


    Li Changzhou''s voice was very faint, his head slightly tilted, straining to lift his hand to touch Chen Hui''s face: "In this life, the person I''ve wronged the most is you."


    "Changzhou, don''t say that." Chen Hui''s eyes were red, her lips pressed together, trying hard not to let tears fall.


    She looked at the man she had loved all her life, now withered and unrecognizable, and felt an extreme pain in her heart.


    "The remaining money in my card, remember to take it out, you know the password. After I''m gone, talk to Old Wang, he can arrange for compensation from the company..." Li Changzhou rambled on with his advice.


    Li Yuan stood to one side, unable to stop turning his head away as tears kept falling.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were already weeping heavily.


    "Okay, okay, I know, I will definitely take good care of the kids." Chen Hui kept responding to her husband, pulling Li Yuan over at the same time: "Li Yuan! Come quickly!!"


    "Changzhou, do you know? Li Yuan has signed with Kunlun Martial Arts University, and he will definitely attend Kunlun Martial University."


    "He also signed an A-level contract with the Starfire Martial Hall." Chen Hui held Li Changzhou''s hand, continuously talking to him.


    She wanted to assure Li Changzhou so he could leave this world in peace.


    "Really? That''s great! Good!" Li Changzhou put great effort into lifting his head slightly, looking at Li Yuan, forcing a smile, "Xiaoyuan, you seem to have grown a lot taller."


    "Uncle." Li Yuan''s voice was trembling, and he crouched down to get close to his uncle, allowing his uncle to touch his head.


    "You''ve grown up, and you''ve made achievements in the Martial Path. That eases my mind," Li Changzhou''s voice was faint. "Your parents were over ten years older than me, they had you very late in life."


    "Over the years, I''ve often thought of them."


    "I always remember the last words your parents said to me, ''Run! Keep running forward! Run fast!''" Li Changzhou murmured, "Almost fifteen years have passed, and I''ve tried to keep running. Sometimes I''m so tired that I want to stop and look at you and your brother and sister, but I can''t... When I see your aunt and uncle, I hope they won''t blame me. I really did my best."


    "Uncle!" Li Yuan could no longer hold back; he wanted to stay calm, but tears just kept streaming down from his eyes.


    He could feel that his uncle''s vitality was rapidly fading away.


    "Muhua, Qian Qian," Li Changzhou''s hand trembled as he lifted it.


    "Muhua, Qian Qian, come here quickly," Chen Hui pulled Li Muhua closest to the bed.


    Bringing them closer to their father.


    "You should listen to your mother from now on," Li Changzhou strained to lift his hand, trying hard to stroke Li Qianqian''s hair. "Your dad hasn''t done anything great in his life, I don''t have much to leave you. When I''m gone, listen to your older brother. He''ll tell you what to do. Understood?"


    "Understood, Dad."


    "Dad." The two siblings were already crying their eyes out.


    Their age and experience meant they didn''t feel the profundity of life and death as deeply.


    But they both knew that their most beloved father was about to leave them.


    "Uncle, I will definitely take good care of Qian Qian, take good care of Muhua," Li Yuan said, struggling to hold back his tears, "You can rest assured."


    Time passed.


    Li Changzhou started to cough, his withered body trembling continuously.


    But he still tried his best to speak with Li Yuan and Chen Hui.


    In his eyes, there was a deep affection for and reluctance to leave this world.


    "Little Yuan."


    Li Changzhou''s voice was growing weaker, "Remember, do not bear grudges because of what happened to me."


    "I don''t want to leave you all."


    "But, I have no regrets. Given another chance... I would still charge forward... cough cough!" Li Changzhou''s consciousness gradually blurred.


    Li Changzhou lay on the hospital bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, gradually unable to hear Li Yuan and Chen Hui calling out to him.


    In the haze,


    Li Changzhou vaguely felt that he was back in his youth, back to a sunny afternoon.


    Spring was gorgeous, a breeze billowed into the room, and the ceiling fan made its rustling sound.


    Outside the room, there was the sound of his parents cooking.


    Inside the room, he lay lazily on the bed, half-asleep and half-awake. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His older brother, who was in high school, sat beside him, diligently doing his homework and occasionally stopping to reach out and tease him.


    For decades thereafter,


    Li Changzhou was always running hard, without a moment to rest, yet never again able to experience such an afternoon.


    ...


    At five o''clock in the afternoon,


    Li Changzhou completely slipped into unconsciousness.


    Two doctors came in to check on Li Changzhou''s condition again, shook their heads, and then left again.


    Chen Hui clutched Li Changzhou''s hand tightly, opened her mouth but couldn''t say anything, with tears just flowing.


    Li Yuan silently accompanied his aunt by her side.


    They all knew that Li Changzhou''s life had truly begun its final countdown.


    ```


    In a few short hours or half a day at most, the flame of life would be completely extinguished.


    More than ten minutes later.


    Suddenly.


    "Clang~" The room''s door suddenly opened, and a doctor rushed in urgently, saying anxiously, "Mr. Li Yuan, someone is looking for you, they say they have a way to save your uncle."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stood up immediately, hope igniting within him again, "Who is it?"


    "What?" Chen Hui also heard and got up hurriedly to look at the doctor.


    "The person only said they are a friend of Miss Lin," the doctor said. "They didn''t specify who, but there are quite a few people, and one of them claims to be Lu Huai, saying you would know him."


    Two sentences.


    Like two bolts of lightning, streaked through Li Yuan''s mind.


    Miss Lin? Lu Huai?


    "Take me there immediately," Li Yuan said, suppressing his excitement, "Aunt, you come with me."


    "Okay," Chen Hui answered, quickly wiping the tears from her face.


    From Li Yuan''s demeanor, she realized that maybe, just maybe, there was hope for her husband.


    Li Yuan and his aunt hurried to a small conference room outside the corridor, where over a dozen people were already waiting.


    The doctors were there, and so was Xu Bo.


    But what caught everyone''s attention the most was the man in the black robe standing in the center of the crowd. He was tall and straight with a height of about one meter eighty, with a face that seemed to be around thirty years old and a pair of extremely sharp eyes.


    His face gave Li Yuan a sense of familiarity.


    Most importantly, the Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall''s branch, ''Lu Huai'', who was clearly much taller, stood beside the man in the black robe as if he was a subordinate.


    Everyone looked towards Li Yuan.


    "Hall Master Lu, Teacher," Li Yuan said, neither servile nor overbearing, his gaze falling on the man in the black robe, "May I know who my senior is?"


    Lu Huai was about to introduce himself.


    The man in the black robe raised his hand, stopping Lu Huai''s intention, and said with a faint smile, "No need to call me senior, I am not much older than you. Just call me Brother Lin."


    "Brother Lin?" Li Yuan was shocked inwardly, already having a guess in his mind, and said respectfully, "Brother Lin, do you have a way to save my uncle?"


    Li Yuan didn''t ask for an explanation; right now, that wasn''t important.


    "Yes!"


    The man in the black robe nodded, "I brought a special artifact called the ''Flame Tongue Spiritual Spring''. There''s an eighty percent chance it can save your uncle''s life, stopping the poison from acting up."


    "But I''ve heard the situation from the doctors," he continued.


    "The Flame Erosive Bone Poison has penetrated deeply into your uncle''s whole body, even affecting his nerves. Even if he barely survives, he might not wake up," said the man in the black robe. "You should be prepared for this."


    "In addition,"


    "There''s a twenty percent chance that the Flame Tongue Spiritual Spring won''t work, as the toxin has been in the body too long, and there is no absolute chance of success."


    "Do we proceed? The decision is yours," the man in the black robe said, looking at Li Yuan.


    "Do it," Li Yuan stated firmly.


    "Do it," Chen Hui echoed, to do it was to hope for life; to not would mean certain death.


    "Alright."


    "You sign the paperwork, and my people will start the detoxification surgery," the man in the black robe nodded.


    A contract was immediately handed over.


    Li Yuan glanced over it; it was simply a ''disclaimer contract''. Without any hesitation, he signed it, and Chen Hui followed suit.


    "Go ahead."


    With a wave of his hand, seven or eight people beside the man in the black robe immediately rushed into the room with their boxes.


    ...


    Four hours later, outside the ICU ward.


    Li Yuan and his aunt Chen Hui, Li Qianqian, Li Muhua all stood by the window.


    Looking at Li Changzhou inside the ward, whose life signs were gradually stabilizing, they could hardly contain their excitement and joy.


    "Brother Lin, thank you!" Li Yuan said earnestly to the man in the black robe.


    "There''s no need to thank me."


    "I''m just carrying out someone else''s wish," said the man in the black robe with a smile. "The treatment was somewhat successful, but whether your uncle will wake up... that''s not something I can decide."


    "From here on, it''s up to you all," he added.


    "I''ll be leaving now." The man in the black robe smiled faintly and left quickly with his group of more than a dozen subordinates.


    Leaving Li Yuan''s family behind.


    "Xiaoyuan, who exactly is this Brother Lin?" Chen Hui couldn''t help but ask.


    "Who?" Li Yuan already had an answer in his heart and smiled, "The man who saved my uncle."


    ...


    One day, two days.


    Li Changzhou had yet to awaken, but his life signs were growing more and more stable, slowly returning to health.


    Chen Hui took a temporary leave from school.


    She also sent Li Yuan back to school, "Are you going to keep watch until your uncle awakes? I''m here, you go and concentrate on preparing for the college entrance exam."


    "When your uncle wakes up, he will be very happy if you manage to get into Kunlun Martial Arts University."


    "Okay, Aunt! I will definitely get into Kunlun Martial Arts University," Li Yuan said.


    ...


    Four days later.


    Having returned to school, Li Yuan sought out Gu Qianghan immediately.


    "Are you looking for my sister?"


    "She left with her elder brother the day before yesterday," Gu Qianghan looked at Li Yuan puzzled, "Don''t you know? Didn''t she tell you?"


    Clearly, Gu Qianghan was unaware of the events that had occurred in Li Yuan''s family.


    "Left with her elder brother?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    "Where did she go? When will she be back?" Li Yuan asked urgently.


    "She''s gone to Feixing, and it seems like she''s going for some kind of special training," Gu Qianghan said. "She probably won''t be back until before the college entrance exams."


    "Feixing?" Li Yuan''s pupils constricted.


    The most powerful among the Seven Great Planets of human civilization is ''Feixing''.


    The headquarters of the three great Martial Halls are on Feixing.


    The Seven Star Alliance''s headquarters is on Feixing.


    The first and second strongest humans, Dongfang Ji and Lant, are from Feixing.


    Feixing has no countries, it''s completely ruled by the three great Martial Halls.


    "Will she be back before the college entrance exams?" Li Yuan murmured to himself.

    Five deposit notifications.


    "Finally, they''ve arrived, how exhilarating." Li Yuan extended his hand to tap on the light screen, watching the dizzying series of numbers on the display, a trace of joy flitted through his eyes.


    Since his uncle''s health indicators had been steadily improving, putting that matter aside for the moment.


    Li Yuan had been waiting for the reward from the invitation event to be fulfilled.


    Almost a week had passed, which was several days later than the originally scheduled payment time.


    Unexpectedly, it all came through today.


    "This 3.6 million Blue Star Coins, is the difference between A and B level contracts from the Martial Hall for the first year," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Is this 960,000 the extra 20% of cultivation resources from the Jiangbei subdivision of Starfire?"


    The A-level contract of Starfire Martial Hall is uniform from the headquarters, and nobody can alter it.


    However, different levels of Martial Halls have ''independent funds'' to offer extra rewards to various talents.


    After the January ranking exams, for obtaining the title of Youth Hero, Starfire''s Guanshan subdivision rewarded Li Yuan with 200,000 Blue Star Coins.


    And the 20% increase of this A-level contract was managed by the Jiangbei Province subdivision of Starfire.


    "Two sums of money, totaling a tax deduction of 1.14 million?" Li Yuan muttered.


    Li Yuan did not dwell on it, paying taxes to the country was only natural.


    Evading or cheating on taxes is shameful.


    "This 2 million, is the reward from Kunlun Martial University for being first in the actual combat assessment," Li Yuan scanned the next transfer, "The 500,000 Blue Star Coins for coming first in the Cage Battle were given to me quite early on."


    "This 1 million is sponsorship from the military."


    "And the final 1 million is the first installment of cultivation funds from Kunlun Martial Arts University," Li Yuan mused to himself, "it''s what''s commonly known as the contract deposit."


    The deposit is nonrefundable.


    All this money, in a sense, is allocated by the national side for cultivation, so they are all tax-exempt.


    "If I include the 200,000 Blue Star Coins awarded by the school," a smile appeared on Li Yuan''s face, "just for this half-month, I''ve earned 9.26 million Blue Star Coins."


    And that''s just Blue Star Coins.


    If the 5.7 million points and 9 million Cultivation Points given by Starfire Martial Hall are considered... in aggregate, the total value of the wealth Li Yuan has gained over the last half-month definitely exceeds 15 million Blue Star Coins.


    To some powerful martial artists and super-rich tycoons, this amount of wealth might not seem like much.


    But for Li Yuan? It''s an astronomical figure.


    At this thought.


    Li Yuan tapped on the light screen to enter ''Starfire,'' an app released by Starfire Martial Hall for smart wristbands.


    He then clicked on his personal account, which clearly displayed all of Li Yuan''s wealth:


    Bank balance: 10.89 million Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 6.73 million


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 9.65 million


    "Half a year ago, I was just a high school senior worried about 100,000 Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan said with a slight smile.


    In the blink of an eye, however, he had become a multimillionaire.


    A cash multimillionaire, at that.


    Keep in mind that many so-called billionaires or tycoons would find it extremely difficult to raise tens of millions in cash in a short time.


    "From January to now, in just over three months, I''ve spent about 680,000 points and around 250,000 Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the transaction records.


    The points were mainly for purchasing basic blood qi potions, deep medicinal baths, and buying Origin Power Essence Pills.


    The Blue Star Coins were primarily for daily expenses and paying combat coaches for practical fighting.


    Beyond that, Li Yuan''s expenditures were very few.


    It could be said that the vast majority of his wealth was spent on cultivation.


    The spending was significant.


    "But precisely because I never thought of saving money, focusing entirely on cultivation, that I had enough strength to shine in the invitation event," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    To a powerful martial artist, money?


    The greatest significance of money is to gradually transform it into strength, to increase one''s power more rapidly.


    "For the rest of this year."


    "I know of two definite sums," Li Yuan thought to himself, "one will be in October when the Martial Hall will distribute the second year''s cultivation funds."


    "The second is after entering the university when Kunlun Martial University will gradually disburse resources from the ''S-grade special training contract.''


    Together, these two contracts will grant Li Yuan a wealth valued at over 30 million Blue Star Coins a year, not even counting the Cultivation Points.


    However.


    The Martial Hall''s resource distribution is once a year; while Kunlun Martial University''s cultivation resources are distributed after a biannual assessment, with different rules.


    "No rush, the wealth I have now is enough for me to cultivate steadily," Li Yuan''s inner world was tranquil, "What I need to do is use this money well, to further strengthen myself."


    Li Yuan was very clear that this wealth was not genuinely earned through his own abilities.


    The invitation event of Jiangbei Martial University, did his actions truly merit several million Blue Star Coins?


    Nonsense!


    One should have self-awareness.


    "This wealth, under the national system and even that of the entire Seven Star Alliance, comes from a set of established systems and is the reward for a Martial Path talent like me," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    What''s the purpose?


    Not for Li Yuan to enjoy and squander the wealth!


    "But to help me become stronger, to become a Prime Warrior and eventually a Flying Heaven Warrior," Li Yuan recalled the words Senior Ji from the Moon Demon Star Realm once said, "To truly become a sharp blade guarding human civilization!"


    This!


    Was the key reason Li Yuan could ''easily'' come into such wealth.


    ...Today is Wednesday.


    After the afternoon self-study session, Li Yuan did not eat at school but rushed directly to the Martial Hall.


    Every Wednesday was Li Yuan''s practical combat training day.


    Past eight in the evening, inside Martial Arts Room 7024, two men clad in full protective gear, each wielding cold weapons, engaged in a fierce confrontation.


    "Clang!"


    Li Yuan''s long spear danced in his hands, strike after strike, as swift as lightning and as relentless as a great river, forcing Fang Longhu, who held a sword and shield, to continuously retreat.


    ```


    As if he had no power to resist.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan tensed his waist, advanced with a forceful step, and his long spear came chopping down fiercely like a giant axe.


    It was the ultimate burst of the second form ''Galaxy Waterfall'' from the Star Constellation Techniques.


    Accumulating might with twelve strikes, he propelled his aura and offensive to its peak.


    Just like a mighty waterfall plunging a hundred meters before smashing onto the ground with terrifying impact.


    "Not good."


    Fang Longhu''s face slightly changed, and finally ignoring the ''sparring rules,'' he burst out with almost all his strength in an instant, with his shield flashing like lightning in front of him.


    "Boom~"


    The long spear struck the shield like an axe, and even though Li Yuan put forth all his strength, for a level 15 Martial Artist like Fang Longhu, withstanding this impact was still not difficult.


    "Stop!" Fang Longhu suddenly spoke.


    But Li Yuan had already stopped, smiling: "Coach Fang, you lose again."


    "Lost, lost!"


    "I really didn''t expect that even using about the power and speed of a level 12, I still couldn''t stop you," Fang Longhu put away his shield, somewhat emotional: "If you had kept on attacking just now, I''m afraid I really would have lost control and injured you."


    Li Yuan smiled.


    Although he had not burst forth with all his power, the nearly Entry Rank strength combined with his Fourth Level Spear Technique had resulted in a quite astonishing force.


    Of course, it still was no threat to Fang Longhu.


    A level 12 Martial Artist and a level 15 Martial Artist, it sounds like a difference of only three levels.


    But this is a difference of three levels after Entry Rank, which is a world apart from the difference between level 6 and level 9.


    For Entry Rank Martial Artists, the physical quality difference between each level is substantial.


    Level 12 Martial Artists, with a burst speed of 30 meters per second and a fist strength of three thousand kilograms.


    And level 15 Martial Artists, their burst speed exceeds 50 meters per second, with a fist strength easily surpassing ten thousand kilograms.


    They''re simply not on the same level.


    Facing a level 12 Martial Artist, Li Yuan could still compete using his skills.


    But if facing Fang Longhu for real? With his absolute speed and power, a single move could kill Li Yuan.


    The Fourth Level techniques are still not enough to bridge the gap in absolute power and speed.


    Click~Click!


    Both of them took off their helmets.


    "Li Yuan, I haven''t fulfilled my training duties today, so I won''t be taking the fee," Fang Longhu shook his head: "Additionally, from now on, I won''t take any more sparring jobs with you."


    "You won''t take them anymore?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "Can''t do the sparring anymore," Fang Longhu said with a helpless smile: "You''re simply too much of a monster, your progress is too fast. In just half a year, whether it''s your physical quality or your skills, your rate of improvement is simply incredible."


    "I''ve been sparring for over ten years, and I used to not quite believe in top-tier talents," Fang Longhu said with emotion: "After meeting you, I believe it."


    Li Yuan smiled.


    "Don''t worry, I will report directly to the Hall Master," Fang Longhu said with a smile: "You''ll be reassigned a sparring partner for combat training. Taking a break for a week won''t matter, just don''t pick someone by yourself."


    "Mhm," Li Yuan nodded.


    Combat training is important, but it''s also dangerous... It''s not just about being strong to do the job well.


    Qualified sparring partners are few, and excellent ones are even fewer.


    The most important thing is safety.


    In sparring jobs, there have been cases where the sparring partner failed to control their power and ended up killing the trainee.


    Fang Longhu was specially chosen by Starfire Martial Hall for Li Yuan, experienced and mature.


    Over the past half a year, Fang Longhu managed to adjust his power with each of Li Yuan''s improvements, providing pressure for Li Yuan while ensuring not to injure him.


    "Beep~" Fang Longhu''s smart ring vibrated, and he looked down: "Li Yuan, what''s this?"


    Li Yuan had transferred him 20,000 Blue Star Coins.


    "Coach Fang."


    "Thanks for the past half year of sparring, don''t refuse it," Li Yuan said with a smile: "Consider it an extra little bonus, don''t find it too small."


    "Haha, alright then, thanks," Fang Longhu chuckled: "In the future, if there are more sparring tasks, you can still come to me."


    Fang Longhu also intended to stay on good terms with Li Yuan.


    "Alright," Li Yuan said, nodding with a smile.


    He also had this intention, for when his younger brothers and sisters would need combat sparring in a few years, Fang Longhu would still be very suitable.


    ...


    At nine o''clock in the evening, in the office of the Hall Master on the twelfth floor of the Starfire sub-hall.


    "You''re resigning from Li Yuan''s sparring?" Wan Qinghe looked at Longhu with confusion.


    Previously, Fang Longhu had reported to Instructor Xing.


    But since January, by Wan Qinghe''s command, every half month, Fang Longhu had been reporting on Li Yuan''s progress.


    "Hall Master."


    "It''s not that I don''t want to keep going, but that I''m no longer qualified," Fang Longhu said helplessly: "Li Yuan''s rate of progress is too fast."


    "His techniques surpass mine by far, probably worth over 300 Fallen Star points."


    "His physical quality, I estimate, is at least level 9.5," Fang Longhu shook his head: "For Li Yuan''s sake, Hall Master, please get someone more capable."


    Wan Qinghe was shocked.


    300 Fallen Star points? Physical quality above level 9.5? It''s been just a week since the recruitment event ended, and Li Yuan has improved so much again?


    "Alright, you can go now, I will select someone new."


    ...


    At ten thirty in the evening.


    Li Yuan returned home, just finished washing up when he felt his smart ring vibrate.


    "Hmm? A document?"


    Li Yuan clicked to view: "A document from Kunlun Martial University?"


    ``` S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 93: 90 New Evolution (Add More with 12000 Monthly Votes)

    "The document from Kunlun Martial University?" Li Yuan immediately clicked to accept.


    It was a brief guide of cultivation suggestions sent by Fan Jin.


    Li Yuan just started to read.


    "Drip~" The V-com call vibrated, a communication from Teacher Fan Jin.


    Li Yuan immediately chose to answer.


    Hum~ The video call connected.


    "Teacher Fan." Li Yuan smiled, looking at the elder dressed in pajamas on the screen.


    "So late, I haven''t disturbed your rest, have I?" Fan Jin smiled.


    "No."


    "Well, you should have received the document." Fan Jin smiled, "Ideally, this cultivation guide should have been given to you after your college entrance exams."


    "However, I just got a message from Starfire Martial Hall that your physical quality has reached level 9.5?"


    Li Yuan kept a poker face, but his heart skipped a beat.


    He realized that he must have gotten too excited during today''s combat practice and failed to contain his strength in time, exposing his real power.


    A 99% chance, it was Fang Longhu who reported the situation when he requested to be excused from the sparring session.


    Fang Longhu''s report did not surprise Li Yuan.


    With his contract level, it was certain that the high ranks of Starfire Martial Hall would keep a continuous watch on him.


    Only, he hadn''t expected that Kunlun Martial Arts University would get wind of it in just two hours.


    For the moment, Li Yuan could only laugh.


    "Haha, don''t worry."


    Teacher Fan Jin laughed, "You have signed with both our Kunlun Martial University and Starfire Martial Hall, and at a very high level. Naturally, we have established communication to more quickly know about your condition to timely adjust your cultivation plan."


    "Thank you for your concern, teacher." Li Yuan smiled, "I had a breakthrough in my techniques the day before the invitation event. For some reason, my physical quality has improved very quickly over the past week or so after using the Essence Pills of Origin Power. I''d estimate I''m probably not quite at 9.5 yet, maybe around 9.3."


    To directly claim 9.5 would be an exaggeration.


    The difference in the explosive strength of 9.5 and 9.3 is not big.


    "9.3?"


    Fan Jin was also surprised, "A week ago, were you not level 8.9? Could it be that the actual measurement back then wasn''t accurate?"


    Li Yuan smiled and said nothing.


    "It seems President Li was right, you have an exceptionally high physical talent, you just lacked cultivation technique. Your progress was faster than those students practicing high-rank cultivation methods... well, you had just entered the Fourth Level, capable of digging deeper into your physical strength...


    an improvement of 0.4 isn''t strange." Fan Jin nodded, his gaze at Li Yuan shifting slightly, "Good! Good!"


    Without need for Li Yuan to explain, Fan Jin had made his own assumptions.


    After all, such examples were not uncommon in the history of Martial Path. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "9.3 is close enough." Fan Jin said, "You should know, Li Yuan, that to improve your physical quality, unlike many students, you''ll heavily rely on external substances."


    "The student understands." Li Yuan said.


    Others could cultivate high-rank methods and absorb Cosmic Origin Power, but he couldn''t.


    "Before reaching level 9.5, taking basic elixirs for blood and Qi, and ordinary Essence Pills of Origin Power, will satisfy your body''s evolutionary needs." Fan Jin said, "But the stronger the body, the more energy it consumes."


    "Just relying on these, once you surpass 9.5, the evolution speed of your body will gradually slow down, even coming to a complete halt."


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    In fact, ever since his physical quality exceeded level 8.0, he had gradually started to feel this.


    "My suggestion is, in conjunction with the document''s cultivation guidance." Fan Jin said, "Start trying First Rank blood and Qi medicinal liquid, along with using Cleansing Spirit Marrow and Essence Pills of Origin Power."


    "What is Cleansing Spirit Marrow?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    He was familiar with the first two.


    "It''s specifically developed for situations like yours where there''s no cultivation technique." Fan Jin said, "Any elixir or pill contains impurities."


    "Normal martial artists practice cultivation techniques and consume fewer external items, hence less burden on their bodies."


    "But you can''t."


    "Cleansing Spirit Marrow can continually wash away the impurities in your body.


    This way, as long as your body can absorb the Origin Power and the medicinal strength of blood and Qi, you could improve at an almost extreme speed." Fan Jin said, "In the past, the first generation of martial artists relied on the original version of ''Cleansing Spirit Marrow'' to toughly raise their physical quality to level 19."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    "Nowadays, few use the Cleansing Spirit Marrow; you should be able to find it in the Starfire Space database." Fan Jin said, "Follow the proportion of use outlined in the cultivation guidance document."


    "Try it once first."


    "If your body can withstand the pain of the Cleansing Spirit Marrow, then continue; if you find your body can''t handle it, stick with the old cultivation plan." Fan Jin smiled with anticipation, "Strive to increase your physical quality to level 10.0 by August, or even higher."


    "At the end of July, the school will organize a Combat Assessment. Although you''ve already passed it, you can apply again. The top 100 among the two thousand newcomers will get cash rewards." Fan Jin said with a smile, "The top ten will be awarded 3 million Blue Star Coins."


    He knew how to entice students with rewards.


    "Yes." Li Yuan said earnestly.


    After hanging up the call.


    "Combat Assessment? End of July?" Li Yuan''s eyes were full of excitement.


    Previously, Li Yuan had been pondering where to find an opportunity for a Combat Assessment.


    So he could raise his Spiritual Awakening Level to the 20% threshold to see if he might get another chance for Spiritual Nature to enter his body.


    With his current strength, going to the war front was too dangerous; neither Starfire Martial Hall nor the school would allow it.


    But unexpectedly,


    the opportunity had arrived just like that.


    "The end of July? That leaves four months?" Li Yuan silently thought, "The top ten, plus an extra reward of three million Blue Star Coins?"


    It was a very generous reward.


    "Do your best."


    "Just like Teacher Fan Jin said, strive to become a real First Rank martial artist." Li Yuan thought silently.


    Kunlun Martial Arts University, being subtly the number one Martial Arts University in Xia Country, recruits two thousand students each year, all of whom are elites from all over the country.

 Chapter 94: 90 New Evolution (Add More with 12000 Monthly Votes)_2

    However,


    "My goal is to be the first!" Li Yuan''s heart was full of ambition.


    The top ten rewards are 3 million Blue Star Coins.


    What about the first place? Could it be higher?


    "Marrow Cleansing is painful? I want to see just how painful it can be!"


    ...


    Entering the virtual network, Starfire Space.


    "Master, I am...," the girl in purple was about to speak.


    "Shut up." Li Yuan interrupted directly, "I want all the information on Marrow Cleansing, including the purchase price and the access requirements."


    "Sure thing, master." The girl in purple was still smiling cheerfully.


    Buzz~ S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A light screen appeared in front of Li Yuan, revealing a large amount of text information.


    "So that''s how it is." Li Yuan understood.


    Afterwards.


    Li Yuan also opened the training guidance document and finally concluded, "If I follow the new plan, and if my body can withstand it, my evolution speed can increase by 50% to 100% before Level 12."


    How much faster specifically varies from person to person.


    What about after Level 12? If I stick to the original training plan, it will be tough to improve even a bit once my physical quality reaches Level 12.


    "One step ahead, steps ahead."


    "Right now, I don''t have any high-rank cultivation methods, so naturally, I need to seize every opportunity." Li Yuan made the decision, "Adopt the new cultivation plan."


    This plan was good in every way.


    There was just one flaw¡ªmoney!


    In the past half year, Li Yuan had spent about 220,000 Blue Star Coins/Points each month on cultivation resources.


    But according to the new plan.


    "First Rank blood-qi potion, 10,000 Blue Star Coins a bottle, at least 20 bottles a month." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Three Essence Pills per month."


    "Plus combined with Marrow Cleansing, three times a month, 200,000 Blue Star Coins a time."


    The monthly cost would be at least 1.1 million Blue Star Coins!!


    Martial Path has always been a gold eater.


    In this cultivation plan, Marrow Cleansing was central; without it, Li Yuan simply couldn''t digest that many blood-qi potions and Essence Pills.


    If you have money, you can''t even spend it all.


    "Xiao Yu, according to the new training plan, buy a dose of Marrow Cleansing first," Li Yuan said, "Deliver it to my Martial Hall address tomorrow."


    "Master, a reminder," the girl in purple said, "Marrow Cleansing is extremely painful after use, and if your body is too weak or your willpower isn''t strong enough, it can be hard to endure."


    "It is recommended that the master wait until after reaching Level 10.0 before trying."


    "Do it immediately."


    "Yes!"


    The next second.


    Beep¡ªLi Yuan received a notification that 200,000 Blue Star Coins had been deducted from his account.


    "Pay with points!" Li Yuan couldn''t help saying.


    "Master, this is a new item, the first purchase will default to using Blue Star Coins..." the girl in purple''s voice became weak.


    "Couldn''t you have asked me first?"


    "You told me to do it immediately!" the girl in purple immediately became self-assured.


    ...


    The next afternoon.


    Li Yuan asked for leave from his teacher Xu Bo and went straight to Martial Hall.


    Xu Bo agreed straight away.


    Xu Bo had mostly let go when it came to Li Yuan''s training and even allowed Li Yuan to skip the usual large Martial Path classes.


    You should know, most middle school Martial Arts Teachers have only "Third Stage" skill level.


    Just talking about skill realm, Li Yuan and Xu Bo were in the same major realm.


    Starfire Mountain Branch Division, Martial Arts Room 7024.


    "Marrow Cleansing." Li Yuan carefully opened the box, which contained a transparent bottle. Inside the bottle flowed a green liquid, resembling emerald.


    It emitted a faint glow, lustrous yet contained, just by looking at its appearance, one could feel a sense of purity and flawlessness.


    "It''s really beautiful." Li Yuan thought to himself, "According to the instructions, this stuff can''t be ingested. It has to be applied to the skin, and the whole body needs to be covered?"


    Applying with hands? That''s too outdated!


    Li Yuan, holding the bottle, came to the physiotherapy room and gently placed it on the holder of the ''full-body physiotherapy instrument''.


    Because he cultivated the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture", Li Yuan had seldom used the physiotherapy room before.


    "Little Jade."


    "Activate the full-body smear standing mode, cleanse my spirit and marrow, and apply the solution slowly over my entire body," Li Yuan directly commanded, "Authorization."


    "Yes," a gentle voice responded from the room.


    Li Yuan stripped off all his clothes and stepped directly into the full-body physiotherapy instrument, quietly waiting.


    Buzz~ The bottle of Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Solution was opened by the machine, and right after, Li Yuan saw the needle probe enter, the entire green liquid rapidly disappeared.


    Not a drop was left.


    Seconds later!


    Buzz~ Buzz~ Several pairs of simulated human hands, the ''smear applicators'', began to excrete green liquid on their surface and slowly started to smear it across Li Yuan''s entire body.


    The smear applicator simulated human hands, slightly warmed up; it was very comfortable, but soon Li Yuan felt his back start to heat up slightly.


    "Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Solution? Just as described, it works fast," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Swiftly.


    Li Yuan felt waves of strange power, as if seeping into his body along the smeared areas, soon causing his limbs and bones to begin to ache, with the pain escalating continuously.


    Pain! As if fingernails were being viciously stabbed by needles.


    Itchiness! Ten times more intense than having one''s sole of the foot scratched.


    Soreness! Like the soreness and numbness after sitting too long, and then someone furiously shakes them.


    Under the culmination of the three experiences, every second was an absolute nightmare for a regular person.


    It was enough to make one consider suicide.


    "This is it?" Li Yuan frowned, although he felt discomfort, it was still bearable.


    Every day, Li Yuan would practice the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture"; just the mental pain alone was much more intense than this.


    Suddenly.


    The massage instrument slowly rubbed over a particular spot in the middle of the human body.


    It was very careful in its task.


    A few seconds later.


    "Fuck!" Li Yuan suddenly widened his eyes, unable to hold back any longer, he cursed.


    ...


    Two hours later, night had fallen.


    The effects of the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Solution had worn off, and Li Yuan finally regained full consciousness.


    "It was indeed a bit tough," Li Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes glancing over his robust body.


    Visibly, on the surface of the skin, there were some impurities and dirt that hadn''t been there before.


    "Marrow cleansing? Real pores excreting waste?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    However.


    Li Yuan''s eyes involuntarily scanned the Divine Palace panel; there had been no change in his Life Level.


    But he certainly felt that his whole body had indeed become lighter and more energetic.


    Shortly after, Li Yuan felt that his skin seemed to be much smoother and fairer than before after taking a shower.


    "Eat an Origin Power Essence Pill, and give it a try."


    Ten minutes later.


    Li Yuan, having consumed the Origin Power Essence Pill, began to practice the Basic Cultivation Method, immediately feeling streams of warm Origin Power being released from his chest, rapidly coursing through his entire body.


    The muscles, bones, and flesh devoured it, becoming increasingly robust.


    "As expected, it''s effective," a glint of light swept through Li Yuan''s eyes, "I just took an Origin Power Essence Pill ten days ago, technically, it should be difficult to absorb now, with most of its effectiveness wasted, and my body should feel quite uncomfortable."


    "Now? It''s as if I haven''t taken one in a month."


    Without hesitation.


    Li Yuan placed an order directly, purchasing a month''s worth of cultivation resources as required for his practice.


    ...


    "Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Solution?"


    "Li Yuan, he can actually withstand that kind of torture?" Wan Qinghe received the news about Li Yuan''s order for Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Solution very quickly.


    "Such willpower! Truly terrifying."


    ...


    Having implemented a brand-new cultivation plan, Li Yuan''s slightly slowed body evolution speed, compared to before, had become even faster.


    Time flowed like water, day after day, and in the blink of an eye, it was April 10th.


    The April assessment for the senior three students of Jiang City was also just around the corner.

 Chapter 95: 91: April Mock Exam (Thanks to the Eternal 60-Point Golden Alliance)

    Guan Mountain District First High School.


    The April mock exam is the last citywide standardized test before the college entrance examination.


    But Li Yuan, as usual, followed his routine and arrived at school for training at three in the morning and went for a shower at seven.


    The habit of cultivation is not something Li Yuan would easily change.


    "Won''t you come back even for the April mock exam?" Li Yuan, passing by Martial Arts Room 4001, unconsciously glanced inside and involuntarily slowed his pace a bit.


    The electronic lock was brand new and had no dust, which was because people cleaned it frequently.


    Although Gu Qianghan had already mentioned it half a month ago.


    But in recent days, as the mock exam approached, Li Yuan couldn''t help but feel a strange sense of expectation.


    "Indeed, I''m thinking too much," Li Yuan chuckled and shook his head, not taking it to heart.


    To travel from Blue Star to Feixing through the Star Bridge is not an easy task.


    Given Lin Lanyue''s family background and the fact that she specifically went for a mysterious "special training," she naturally would not come back just for the April mock exam.


    While the April mock exam is important, it is, after all, not the actual college entrance examination.


    "Li Yuan." Suddenly, a voice called out, and a burly teenager greeted him from a distance.


    "Dong Haifeng?" Li Yuan greeted with a smile, it was indeed Dong Haifeng who he had rescued during the last combat assessment.


    Dong Haifeng had just emerged from the martial arts room, his face beaming with smiles.


    Since returning from Jiangbei Martial University, Dong Haifeng''s attitude towards Li Yuan had undergone a 180-degree turn.


    Every time he saw Li Yuan again, he became quite enthusiastic, and even had a hint... of respect.


    "Is Gu Qiang not here?" Li Yuan walked up and said with a smile.


    The door to Martial Arts Room 4003 was also closed, and the trash at the door was the same as last night.


    "He doesn''t come to the martial arts room in the morning," Dong Haifeng replied with a smile, "He even often arrives late for morning self-study."


    Li Yuan was startled and suddenly realized that in the past six months, he seemed to have never run into Gu Qianghan early in the morning.


    He usually wouldn''t see him until the afternoon.


    "No wonder his progress is slow; if he can''t be seen in Jiang City at four in the morning, how can he cultivate quickly?" Li Yuan said with a laugh, "Let''s go, we''ll eat together in the cafeteria."


    Dong Haifeng was taken aback by the mention of Jiang City in the early hours. He hadn''t seen it either!


    "Gu Qiang''s progress is slow? Is this what being a big shot is like?" Dong Haifeng muttered to himself.


    ...


    In the cafeteria.


    "Brother Yuan, you really aren''t in a rush at all," Yan Zhou said while eating a steamed bun and watching Li Yuan and Dong Haifeng slowly enter the cafeteria.


    "In a rush for what?" Li Yuan said with a smile and sat down beside his classmate to eat.


    Zhou Qi had already bought breakfast for Li Yuan; fried sauce noodles, beef noodles, a nutritious breakfast... plus two soda buns and two portions of siu mai.


    In reality, aside from the nutritious breakfast, eating too many carbohydrates does little to help martial arts cultivation and can even be harmful.


    But Li Yuan didn''t care.


    With his current physical quality, he could digest these foods very quickly.


    "Slurp!" Li Yuan devoured the fried sauce noodles with relish, feeling utterly content.


    The school''s fried sauce noodles and hot dry noodles actually didn''t taste that special, but after eating them for a long time, Li Yuan would feel uncomfortable if he missed a meal.


    These were foods he had eaten since he was young.


    "Yan Zhou, you''re the one who''s in a hurry," Zhou Qi said while eating and laughing, "Last time you were in exam room 21, and this time you''re sitting in exam room 22, almost falling to the same exam room as Brother Yuan."


    "Old Zhou, you think you''re amazing? Perennial runner-up in the exam room." Yan Zhou immediately retorted.


    Yan Zhou''s academic performance was a bit off during the last mock exam in January, which is why his exam room number had been pushed back this time.


    But such fluctuations in rankings were very normal, so Zhou Qi teased,


    "What''s up with the runner-up?" Zhou Qi tilted his head back. "This is the runner-up among forty exam halls!"


    "I''m proud!"


    Everyone couldn''t help but laugh.


    What Zhou Qi said was the truth. Among the hundreds of students in Grade 12, Class 2, few could be among the top two in the first couple of exam halls.


    "Brother Yuan, you''re not going to improve by another hundred points this time, are you?" Zhou Qi suddenly looked at Li Yuan, seemingly worried. "If you improve by another hundred points, your academic score will almost catch up to mine."


    In the January mock exams, Li Yuan''s academic performance had improved by about one hundred points, moving up from the 29th to the 24th exam hall, already approaching the middle ranks of the grade.


    "Don''t worry." Li Yuan smiled. "I''ll aim to score 120 more points, just enough to surpass you."


    "Damn, that''s so inhuman!" Zhou Qi cursed jokingly. "You''re taking all the points, leave some for us."


    However, nobody took Li Yuan''s words to heart. Improve by another 120 points? How could that be possible!


    "We''re done eating."


    "Let''s go. If we head to the exam hall early, we can get familiar with the people in front and behind us and strive for a united front."


    "I hope to surpass the key score line this time." A group of classmates chatted with each other as they walked to their exam halls, most of them very relaxed.


    Li Tianyou, on the other hand, was more silent, walking alone at the back.


    As they approached the exam hall building, the others gradually went upstairs.


    "Tianyou, wait a sec." A deep voice suddenly sounded from the side.


    Li Tianyou was startled, only then realizing that Li Yuan had somehow appeared beside him. "Li Yuan, what is it?"


    He stopped.


    "Tianyou." Li Yuan looked at Li Tianyou''s face, smiled. "Have you been losing weight recently?"


    Li Tianyou was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touching his own face.


    It seemed that he had indeed slimmed down.


    "Maybe." Li Tianyou forced a smile, without explanation.


    Suddenly.


    Beep~ Li Tianyou''s smart ring trembled slightly. He looked down and his pupils constricted; he had just received a transfer notification for fifty thousand Blue Star Coins.


    The sender, Li Yuan.


    At the same time, Tianyou also received a message from Li Yuan with a name and a V-chat number.


    "Li Yuan, what''s this?" Li Tianyou looked at Li Yuan in shock.


    "There''s less than two months left until the college entrance exam. I know you''ve been working hard on your training, but external help is very important. Buy some Qi and Blood potions. At the very least ensure a nutritious meal three times a day. This Zhong Cheng, he''s a Martial Path worker. You go to him to purchase the potions.


    Just say you''re my classmate, and he''ll give you a discount," Li Yuan said with a smile, "Just to clarify, I''m poor too, so it''s not a gift, it''s a loan, okay?"


    "But I can''t pay it back," Li Tianyou said, unable to resist.


    "I''m not asking for it back now. What''s more important, money or health? Are you really planning on losing weight?" Li Yuan said with a teasing grin. "Once you get into Jiangbei Martial University, find a good job after graduation, won''t you be able to pay it back? Remember, you have to repay me within ten years at the latest!"


    Li Tianyou''s eyes instantly reddened.


    He understood all too well that this was just Li Yuan''s way of making him accept the offer.


    Who ever offers a loan and then states that it needs to be repaid in ten years?


    "Li Yuan, I..." Li Tianyou''s voice choked up for a moment.


    "Tianyou, there are people around, behave." Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I''m not interested in you, don''t let others misunderstand."


    Li Tianyou was taken aback for a moment, then couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Take it." Li Yuan smiled. "Actually, with your results, you have a very high chance of getting into Jiangbei Martial University, but you must not get tense."


    "Martial Arts Cultivation, the more anxious you are, the harder it is to progress."


    "Keep a calm mindset." Li Yuan smiled. "In this regard, you have to trust me."


    "Mm-hmm." Li Tianyou nodded. In his heart, Li Yuan had considerable authority when it came to Martial Arts Cultivation.


    Just like Teacher Xu Bo had publicly said during Martial Arts class, with Li Yuan''s skill and cultivation, he could at least serve as a ''High-Rank Martial Arts Teacher''.


    "I''m heading up first." Li Yuan waved his hand, "See you later."


    "Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins." Li Tianyou looked down at his bank account and couldn''t help but raise his head to glance at Li Yuan''s retreating figure.


    He wanted to tell Li Yuan it wasn''t necessary, but he couldn''t bring himself to walk away. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Because he indeed needed it.


    "Thank you." Li Tianyou silently mouthed the words in his heart.


    ...


    After finding his seat number, Li Yuan had just sat down.


    "Li Yuan is in our exam room?"


    "This is exam room 24, isn''t it? A Martial Artist Student with such good academic performance?"


    "Heh, my exam number is actually in front of Li Yuan''s. Looks like I''m better than Li Yuan."


    "You really think so? Believe it or not, one punch from him could knock the snot out of you." Many students whispered among themselves in the exam room.


    Throughout this term, especially after the event hosted by Jiangbei Martial University, Li Yuan''s performance gradually began to spread among the senior year students.


    With the school''s deliberate promotion, Li Yuan''s fame had become unrivaled within the school, surpassing even Lin Lanyue.


    "Discussing me?" Li Yuan listened to the voices around him but didn''t pay too much attention.


    He was thinking about Li Tianyou.


    "I hope this money can help him somehow," Li Yuan silently sighed to himself.


    Out of all the classmates he knew, the only one Li Yuan truly admired was Li Tianyou.


    Sometimes, Li Yuan would even think if Li Tianyou could awaken the talent of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, even if not as much as himself, he would definitely be dazzling.


    One must know oneself.


    "Opportunity and luck sometimes outweigh effort," Li Yuan silently sighed again.


    Before, Li Yuan wanted to help Li Tianyou but didn''t have the means.


    Why only give fifty thousand Blue Star Coins? And to say it was a loan?


    First, Li Yuan knew Li Tianyou''s character was incredibly tenacious, not fond of asking for help, so he didn''t want Li Tianyou to feel too much psychological burden.


    Second, this money was meant as a gift from Li Yuan, without the expectation of being repaid.


    And third, the most important reason.


    "I am also still growing, and cultivation expenses are quite large," Li Yuan silently sighed, "I hope it can give him a boost and help him get into Jiangbei Martial University."


    Once he got in, it would be nothing less than a turning point in Li Tianyou''s fate.


    Beep beep beep~ The bell rang.


    The invigilating teacher entered the classroom, and everyone placed their smart wristbands at the front of the room.


    The April mock exam officially began.


    ...


    After a day and a half of academic testing, Li Yuan could only say he did his best.


    "The score should not be worse than last time," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Normally, the difficulty level of the April mock exam should be lower."


    The January mock exam had a higher difficulty level, aiming to discourage students from becoming arrogant.


    In contrast, the April mock exam often had a lower difficulty level, meant to encourage students.


    ...


    The next afternoon was the Martial Arts Spirituality Test.


    Li Yuan''s test sheet, as usual, read ''Unawakened,'' all within his expectations.


    As President Li had said, with Li Yuan''s revealed physical talent and mental talent, if he could resonate with any High-Rank Cultivation Method, it would have appeared long ago.


    "Looks like no one else in the class could resonate either," Li Yuan glanced around.


    Throughout the entire senior stage, only Wan Xiao and Zhou Qi from his class had succeeded in meeting the resonance requirements of High-Rank Cultivation Methods.


    "Everyone has a Spiritual Nature."


    "It''s just not possible."


    "The current seven High-Rank Cultivation Methods were also created by generations of predecessors among humans," Li Yuan pondered silently, "In the future, if I can become a Flying Heaven Warrior, perhaps I could also be part of this grand process of civilization."


    ...


    On the third day, it was the Combat Assessment.


    Almost a month had passed since the Jiangbei Martial University invitational event.


    Li Yuan finally stopped hiding his Physical Quality and fully revealed it.


    40-meter Burst Speed test.


    "21.8 meters per second."


    "Damn!"


    "Li Yuan''s Burst Speed, this!" All the students present were shocked and could barely believe what they were seeing.


    "Brother Yuan is?"


    "Too awesome!"


    "Is Brother Yuan becoming a real Martial Artist?" Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, Li Tianyou, they were all stunned. That was a Martial Artist, after all.


    Even the three invigilating teachers were somewhat taken aback.


    This Burst Speed was already infinitely close to the level 10.0 standard.


    Keep in mind, the class they were testing was just an ordinary class.


    "What''s so strange?"


    "Isn''t this the result Li Yuan should have?" Dong Haifeng, G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n, and those other students among the top ten of the grade, weren''t too surprised.


    After all, they had seen someone who had completely dominated the ''Combat Assessment'' amongst the elite Martial Artist Students in the entire Jiangbei Province with an absolute, precipitous victory.


    Another month had passed, and was it so strange that Li Yuan''s Physical Quality was close to level 10?


    The subsequent physical tests, wherever public assessment was involved, Li Yuan always managed to shock his fellow students and the examiners alike.


    ...


    With such a large-scale exam, score compilation and grading happened very quickly.


    That same evening.


    In the principal''s office of Guan Mountain District No. 1 High School, Tan Zhenlong was waiting.


    "Ding¡ª" The smart assistant''s voice rang out, "Master, Director Wang from the Education Bureau is video-calling you."


    "Director Wang?" Tan Zhenlong was a little surprised and quickly said, "Answer it, guest mode."


    Whoosh~


    The lighting in the office adjusted, subtly altering the ambiance. A holographic screen formed, and a young man in his thirties wearing a shirt appeared in the projection.


    "Principal Tan, congratulations," the young man greeted with a smile.


    "Director Wang, congratulations for what?" Tan Zhenlong was momentarily puzzled.


    "The April mock exam."


    "Your school produced two city-wide subject toppers," the young man said with a smile. "Isn''t that worth congratulating?"

 Chapter 96: 92: The Real Number One in the Whole City? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    "Two top scorers in individual subjects in the city?" Principal Tan Zhenlong was utterly surprised.


    As a principal, Tan Zhenlong was very conscientious and knew his school very well.


    Although Guan Mountain District''s No.1 High School was decent, it was only considered to be top-tier within Jiang City and not among the very best.


    In the past, the goals he set for the teachers were merely to secure the top spot within Guan Mountain District.


    "Haha, it seems that Principal Tan doesn''t know his school well enough," Director Wang said with a laugh. "Then I''ll keep you in suspense, you can see for yourself when the transcripts are distributed."


    "Also."


    "This year''s Guan Mountain District middle schools..." Director Wang started discussing other matters.


    Tan Zhenlong could only patiently communicate with the other party.


    Finally.


    He ended the video call.


    "Two top scorers in individual subjects? Who?" Tan Zhenlong sat on the couch, his eyes clouded with confusion: "Li Yuan? His Martial Arts Skills should indeed be full marks, hmm, probably tied with Wu Dongdong from the Teacher''s College High School as the city''s top scorer."


    "And the other one?"


    "Could it be in the academic subjects? That shouldn''t be, none of them made it to the top thirty in the entire city during the January mock exams." Tan Zhenlong was quite puzzled.


    Without seeing the summary of the results, Tan Zhenlong could not guess.


    Could there be a dark horse?


    There were dark horses every year, but it was extremely rare for someone to rise to the city''s top spot in an individual subject.


    Half an hour later.


    Tan Zhenlong finally received a notification from the assistive AI that the Education Bureau had sent over the summary of the exam results.


    He opened the score report immediately.


    "What?" Tan Zhenlong''s pupils contracted as he looked at the name atop of the list: "Physical Quality, comprehensive assessment 500 points? How is that possible?"


    Whoo!


    Suddenly, Tan Zhenlong recalled something and immediately said, "Xiao Jiu, I want to see the school''s January mock exam Martial Path scores."


    "Yes, Master."


    Soon.


    Tan Zhenlong got hold of the January mock exam results, and as he compared the two documents, he was inwardly so shocked he found it hard to express: "Four months, Physical Quality improved by 2.1 levels?"


    "What kind of genius is this?"


    At least, Tan Zhenlong had never seen one before.


    Suddenly.


    "Di~" The assistive AI made a sound: "Master, Teacher Xu Bo is calling."


    "Xu Bo? That kid surely has seen the transcript and wants to come brag to me about how good his judgment is, and how impressive the student he chose is," Tan Zhenlong muttered to himself, then said directly: "Xiao Jiu, hang up."


    Ten minutes later.


    "Dong~ Dong~ Dong~" The knocking sound came from the door of the principal''s office.


    "Old Tan."


    The boisterous voice of Xu Bo came from outside the door: "Hurry and open up, I''m bringing you a bottle of good wine, we need to celebrate."


    Fifteen seconds later.


    Clang¡ªthe door opened.


    Tan Zhenlong looked at Xu Bo warily, eyeing his empty hands: "Where''s the wine?"


    "It''s on the bottom shelf of the bookcase in your office," Xu Bo said with a chuckle: "Move aside, didn''t I tell you I''d get it for you?"


    Tan Zhenlong glared at him: "You got a dog''s nose?"


    "My nose is better than a dog''s, don''t forget, I used to be a Prime Warrior," Xu Bo said cheerily.


    ...


    April 13th, Monday.


    After morning self-study, most of the students in Class 2 of Senior Year Three were sitting distracted, everyone knew that today was the day the April mock exam results would be announced.


    Along with it, citywide rankings would be released, as well as the city''s estimated thresholds for first-tier universities, the C9 league, and the Martial Path provincial and national lines.


    The college entrance exam was nearing, and for most, their rankings in April would be unlikely to change much from their actual results.


    "Old Zhou, what''s up? You''re sulking again?" Li Yuan joked: "Worried about going home and being turned into a Zhou Papi by your mom?"


    "Brother Yuan." Zhou Qi glanced at him helplessly: "You used that joke last time, can you not play it twice?"


    Li Yuan was taken aback, while the others laughed.


    Soon.


    The cultural class''s homeroom teacher, Mr. Chen, who walked with a Wind, entered the classroom wearing a leather jacket, holding the results in his hands.


    Immediately.


    Over a hundred students instinctively sat up straight, even Li Yuan, widely recognized as a ''top student,'' was no exception.


    It was an indescribable pressure.


    Over three years, even though Li Yuan had acquired the strength of an Entry Rank Martial Artist, he still felt somewhat awkward in front of Mr. Chen.


    However.


    Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen did not begin with the usual harsh criticism but, uncharacteristically, said: "The April mock exams went well for most of you."


    "It''s clear that everyone has put in a lot of effort since the January mocks and have been very serious."


    "For the few students who didn''t perform well, there''s no need to worry. Adjust your mindset; after all, it''s just a mock exam, and you will all likely achieve good results if you perform normally during the actual college exam."


    No criticism, no blame.


    The words he offered were mostly encouraging, which relieved many in the class.


    However, many students had an uneasy feeling.


    They all glanced subconsciously at the countdown to the college entrance exam on the blackboard at the front of the classroom, feeling somewhat dazed.


    With the end of the April mock exams, the actual college entrance examination really was drawing near.


    High school was indeed coming to an end.


    ...


    "Now, I will announce the results."


    Mr. Chen''s voice even sounded a bit gentler: "As usual, we''ll start with the academic scores."


    "Li Shutong, 921 points, first in academic results in the grade, also first in Guan Mountain District, 24th in Jiang City," Mr. Chen said with a smile: "Very good performance."


    "Dong Cheng, 901 points."


    "Zhou Qi, 898 points, great improvement," Mr. Chen chuckled: "You''ve entered the top twenty of the grade."


    Many students couldn''t help but look at Zhou Qi, feeling quite envious.


    The difficulty of the April mock exam was low, so the scores generally increased, but like Zhou Qi, to move up dozens of spots and even break into the top twenty of the grade was extremely challenging.


    "Not bad," Li Yuan commented.


    "Brother Yuan, it''s because I''ve been practicing a High Rank Cultivation Method," Zhou Qi said quietly: "My Physical Quality has risen to over level 5."


    "With the improvement in Physical Quality, I feel clearer in the head every day when I do test papers and solve problems."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    The body is the foundation of everything.


    Without a good physical foundation, everything else is zero.


    Zhou Qi''s physical condition was mediocre before, but his academic performance was very good, which means his IQ is quite impressive.


    After practicing high-rank cultivation methods, his physical quality kept improving, and his academic scores increased a lot, which is normal.


    That''s also why in the college entrance exam, even cultural universities count martial arts performance for 30% of the total score.


    As far as Li Yuan knows, many prominent scientists within human civilization are martial artists or even Prime Warriors.


    "Li Yuan, 841 points," Teacher Chen read out Li Yuan''s name and paused, smiling, "Li Yuan, with your academic score, you''re almost reaching the threshold for the C9 universities."


    Wow!


    The class immediately burst into an uproar, and all the students couldn''t help but turn to look at Li Yuan.


    841 points?


    That academic score alone wouldn''t be surprising, but coming from a Martial Artist Student, it was rather exaggerated.


    Moreover, many students vaguely remembered that Li Yuan''s academic performance seemed to be only over six hundred points in the second year of high school.


    "Brother Yuan, did you improve by another hundred points?" Zhou Qi looked at Li Yuan as if he were a monster, "How did you study?"


    "I didn''t improve by a hundred points," Li Yuan said indifferently, shaking his head.


    After a two-second pause.


    "Zhou Qi, look, I scored 742 points last time, and 841 this time; if you do the math, that''s just an increase of 99 points," Li Yuan seriously added, "I suspect that the intelligence marking the test didn''t want me to show off, so it deducted one point from me on purpose."


    "Ah!" Li Yuan sighed deeply, seemingly full of regret.


    Zhou Qi and the surrounding students all couldn''t help but think¡ªone day they would really like to beat up this biggest show-off.


    ...


    After announcing the academic scores, Teacher Chen took out another transcript and looked at it for a long time.


    All at once.


    All the students'' hearts rose to their throats¡ªcould it be that they still couldn''t escape a scolding today?


    "Martial arts scores," Teacher Chen finally spoke, enunciating every word, "Li Yuan, first place."


    Then there was silence again for a long while.


    Everyone was stupefied; it was within their expectation that Li Yuan would be first, but could it be that his score wasn''t as high as they thought?


    "Could there be a mistake?" Li Yuan even began to doubt himself.


    He had personally tested his martial arts scores and was confident about them; there shouldn''t be any mistake.


    "900 points!" Suddenly, Teacher Chen revealed a smile and loudly exclaimed.


    The entire classroom fell silent for three seconds.


    Then¡ªcompletely erupted.


    "I didn''t hear that wrong, did I?"


    "900 points? The full score in martial arts!"


    "Damn."


    "Li Yuan, 900 points?" The entire class completely lost their minds.


    900 points, meaning that Li Yuan was rated full marks in both the physical quality and martial arts skills categories.


    Even Li Yuan was a bit stunned¡ªfull marks?


    He couldn''t help but glance at his Divine Palace panel, where his Life Level was clearly marked as: 9.9!


    "Could it be because of my skills that my Explosive Power and speed exceed that of the normal Life Level, so in the end, I was given full marks by comprehensive evaluation?" Li Yuan pondered secretly.


    "900 points?"


    Zhou Qi next to him was dumbfounded, then suddenly realized, "Brother Yuan, doesn''t that mean your total martial arts score is now 984 points?"


    An academic score of 841 points translated to 84 points.


    Adding the 900 points from martial arts, indeed it was 984 points!


    "A raw score of 984 points?"


    "984?"


    "Looks like it''s true! This!" The students in the class were even more incredulous.


    Let alone the raw score, even reaching this score with Spiritual Nature bonus points would already be extremely formidable.


    "Cough cough~"


    "Cough~" Teacher Chen on the podium coughed twice.


    The students in the classroom finally quieted down reluctantly.


    "You''re right, Li Yuan''s martial arts raw score is 984 points, but that''s not the total score," Teacher Chen said with a smile, "Don''t forget, although Li Yuan hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit, he has been awarded the title of ''Young Hero'' and gets an additional 20 points."


    "So!"


    "This time, Li Yuan''s total martial arts score is 1004 points! First in the grade, first in Guan Mountain District!"


    "28th in Jiang City."


    "Additionally."


    "Li Yuan is also one of the only two who achieved full marks in martial arts in Jiang City''s April assessment."


    "Without counting any additional bonus points and just considering raw scores, he even surpassed Wu Dongdong of the Teacher''s College Affiliated High School."


    "In a certain sense."


    "In this April examination, Li Yuan is truly the number one martial artist in the entire city!" Teacher Chen said in one breath without pause. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A smile covered her face.


    It was clear.


    This time, the scores that Li Yuan had achieved had truly made her very happy and excited.


    ...


    The April resit results announced meant the end of the April examination period.


    But.


    Li Yuan''s score, like a bombshell, hit Guan Mountain District''s First High School, making the entire grade and even the whole school boil with excitement.


    Almost every class'' teacher started using Li Yuan as an example to inspire their students.


    No bonus points for Spiritual Nature?


    Not from a prominent family background? None of these were obstacles!


    Li Yuan went from being average in his grade in the first year of high school, to the top hundred in the second.


    And now to the top ten in his grade in the third year, and finally to first place! He also achieved the terrifying score of full marks in martial arts in the April exam.


    Such an achievement was definitely a first in the history of Guan Mountain District''s First High School.


    ...


    At ten o''clock in the morning that same day, at Starfire''s Guan Mountain branch shrine.


    "1004 points?"


    Wan Qinghe and Xu Bo were communicating; when they first heard about Li Yuan''s test score, they didn''t grasp its significance.


    But soon, they understood.


    "Full marks in martial arts!"


    "Physical quality of at least 10.0?" Wan Qinghe was inwardly shaken beyond words, "In less than a month, Li Yuan''s physical quality improved by 1.1 levels?"


    "Monster indeed!"

 Chapter 97: 93: Song Yis Perilous Situation (Extra for Silver Alliance Moon Song Autumn Wind)

    ```


    "A month, and physical quality increased by 1.1 levels?" Wan Qinghe could hardly describe the shock in his heart with words.


    Indeed!


    Similar examples indeed exist in the history of humanity''s Martial Path, and not a few.


    But that''s across the entire history of human civilization''s Martial Path! S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as there have been many young generals in history, countless in the annals, but if a twenty-year-old general stood before you, the vast majority of people would be shocked.


    "Those who have made a name for themselves in the history of the Martial Path either have an extremely high compatibility with High Rank Cultivation Methods, even reaching 100%," Wan Qinghe sighed inwardly, "or they come from exceptional backgrounds and have used some Heavenly Materials and Treasures."


    Talent, or background.


    Or a combination of both, for example¡ªDongfang Ji, the first strongest being of human civilization.


    In just over a decade, he grew from a Prime Warrior to a terrifying existence surpassing that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Ultimately, he even surpassed Lant, who had been famed for a hundred years, and became the undisputed number one warrior of human civilization.


    Of course.


    No matter how much Wan Qinghe recognized Li Yuan, deep down, he would not think that Li Yuan could be compared to the chief of his own Martial Hall.


    "Resources?" Wan Qinghe shook his head in secret, his eyes scanning the distant light screen.


    Clearly written on it were the various kinds of auxiliary cultivation resources that Li Yuan had purchased from the Martial Hall over the last half year.


    Very ordinary.


    As for fate? In Wan Qinghe''s view, Li Yuan, who stayed in the city every day, neither went to some mysterious Star Realm nor to Feixing, couldn''t have had any great fortune.


    Really thought it''s like a novel?


    "So, it''s only talent left." Wan Qinghe reflected in private, "Old Fei was right after all, a jade among stones... Li Yuan truly has such qualities."


    "Indeed, a discerning eye."


    When the outer shell of stone reveals itself, the true jade emerges.


    However.


    Wan Qinghe also felt a considerable pride in his heart, that such a talent was ultimately one he had unearthed himself.


    If Li Yuan really were to achieve great things in the future, he too would take pride in it.


    "Live combat sparring?" Wan Qinghe pondered, instantly coming up with an idea.


    "Yes, let''s do that," he decided inwardly.


    Following that.


    Wan Qinghe spoke: "Open V-Chat, and call Old Fei."


    "Yes, Master," the assistant AI''s voice sounded.


    ¡­Soon, Fei Qian received a call from Wan Qinghe.


    Wan Qinghe reported fully on Li Yuan''s recent development, mainly from the invitation event to the April assessment growth.


    And he particularly emphasized that he played an important guiding role in the growth process of Li Yuan, thanks to the wise directions of old Fei.


    "You''ve done well, Qinghe," the robed elder Fei Qian said with a smile in the video.


    His way of addressing Wan Qinghe had changed.


    Clearly, he was very pleased.


    "It''s all thanks to following the instructions Old Fei gave before, I have always been fully supporting Li Yuan," Wan Qinghe said with a smile.


    "You did well," Fei Qian smiled in response.


    The two were lifting each other in turn.


    "I just looked at your investigation report too, he actually used ''Purify Body and Marrow'' three times within a month, truly crazy," Fei Qian said with some emotion, "Even a Prime Warrior might not be able to bear that kind of pain, right?"


    "That a seventeen-year-old youth could hone such terrifying willpower¡­"


    "¡­is what enabled his body to evolve at such a high speed," Fei Qian continued analyzing, "Even so, to be able to improve so much within a month, his physical talent is also terrifying."


    Wan Qinghe listened seriously to the other''s ''nonsense''.


    "Worthy of Old Fei, I didn''t think so much," Wan Qinghe concluded.


    "Is this new cultivation plan of his set by Kunlun Martial University?" Fei Qian inquired.


    "Yes," Wan Qinghe nodded.


    "A bunch of madmen," Fei Qian shook his head, "I suspect they never considered Li Yuan''s ability to endure when setting up this cultivation plan."


    Wan Qinghe was speechless; the other party was Kunlun Martial University, known to be above the Martial Hall when it came to training plan strategies for talents.


    "Here''s what we''ll do."


    "In three days, I''ll return to Jiang City," Fei Qian instructed, "Bring Li Yuan to me, I want to see him."


    "Yes," Wan Qinghe replied respectfully.


    Wan Qinghe understood in his heart that Fei Qian couldn''t resist stepping in personally to offer guidance (plucking the peach) to Li Yuan.


    After hanging up the phone.


    "He really won''t take action until he sees the rabbit," Wan Qinghe muttered to himself, "As soon as the peach is nearly ripe, he wants to pick it."


    "No wonder he''s been able to sit firmly as the city''s Hall Master for twenty years."


    "Not only does he have a discerning eye, but he also has the stamina," Wan Qinghe muttered, "By comparison, my cultivation is still not deep enough, I need to continue to learn."


    "Flying Heaven, change the memo name of ''Old Fei'' to ''Old Fei Worthy of My Learning''."


    "Yes, Master," the assistant AI responded.


    ¡­


    Noon.


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University, in a classroom within the main base for war, Professor Ming looked at the message coming through the screen and sighed.


    "Why do you sigh, Teacher?" The man in the black suit next to him couldn''t help but ask, "Didn''t you have high hopes for Li Yuan before? His good exam scores only prove your good judgment, right?"


    "What''s the use of good judgment?"


    Professor Ming glanced at the man in the black suit, "If his scores were a little worse, and he didn''t reach the national line in the entrance exam, we might have had a chance to pick up a bargain."


    "Then, our Jiangbei Martial Arts University might have been able to produce another Flying Heaven Warrior in the future."


    "Now?" Professor Ming shook his head.


    "Shall we send some more stuff? To become closer?" the man in the black suit couldn''t help but say.


    "Idiot!"


    "Won''t Kunlun Martial University and Starfire Martial Hall cultivate him with all their might? Does he need these few resources?" Professor Ming shook his head, "Approaching now, will only make Li Yuan think we have ulterior motives and instead arouse his wariness."


    "We can only hope."


    "During the previous invitation event, our Jiangbei Martial Arts University left a good impression on Li Yuan, and since our university is also his hometown university¡­"


    ¡­


    Afternoon, Starry Sky Guanshan Sub Hall.


    "Vice Hall Master Lu, you wanted to see me?" Song Yi, dressed elegantly, stepped into Lu Huai''s office.


    "Vice Hall Master Song, please sit," Lu Huai, in his martial attire, was slowly practicing punches, speaking in the meantime, "I called you here to discuss a matter with you."


    ```


    "Speak," Song Yi said earnestly.


    Whether in the Starfire Martial Hall or the Starry Sky Martial Hall, every level of Hall Master, the Chief Hall Master has much more power than the Vice Hall Master.


    "There is some news about Li Yuan that you might want to know about," Lu Huai said.


    The expression on Song Yi''s face changed slightly.


    Again?


    Over the past six months, she had lost count of how many times she had heard the name Li Yuan and because of this, she had already been reprimanded three or four times.


    "Vice Hall Master Lu, didn''t you say a month ago that this matter would stop there?" Song Yi couldn''t help but speak up.


    "Finish reading this first," Lu Huai frowned.


    Ding~ A screen of light condensed, displaying a large amount of text describing the recent situation of Li Yuan.


    And.


    The potential grade assessment given by an "Inspection Envoy from Jiangbei Province" of the Starry Sky Martial Hall for Li Yuan.


    Skipping the details.


    But the final conclusion of the report completely changed Song Yi''s complexion.


    "Based on current performance and age analysis, can be identified as A+ level, but the growth rate over the past year has been extremely rapid, completely on par with S+ level, comprehensive assessment: S- level."


    Whether S+ level or S- level, both belong to S level.


    "Do you understand now?" Lu Huai sighed.


    Song Yi nodded unavoidably.


    An Inspection Envoy is an extremely special position in the Martial Hall, mainly responsible for supervising the Martial Halls at all levels and reviewing whether the Hall Masters of each level fulfill their duties diligently.


    Broadly speaking, they have tremendous power and can reach the highest authorities.


    Narrowly speaking, they have no power to decide verdicts, and even if they discover violations, they must await judgments from higher-level Martial Halls.


    "The triennial Hall Master assessment is coming up soon," Lu Huai glanced at Song Yi and sighed: "In these three years working with me, your performance in other aspects of work is satisfactory and quite diligent, and you haven''t fallen behind in your training, but with regards to this matter involving Li Yuan, you have indeed lost quite a few points.


    I''m worried that once this inspection report is submitted, you won''t pass the final assessment."


    Song Yi clenched her teeth.


    Failing the triennial major assessment meant she would face punishment and lose significant benefits.


    "Hall Master, where did you get this inspection report from?" Song Yi couldn''t help but ask.


    She knew in her heart that if she wanted to pass the review, she must have the content of this inspection report ''optimized'' somewhat.


    Calling her over was definitely not out of kindness to inform her.


    "I was having lunch with this Inspection Envoy at noon, and he casually mentioned the report, saying it wasn''t complete and wanted to discuss it with me, to seek my opinion," Lu Huai said with a smile: "Given our relationship, I naturally have to consider your situation."


    Song Yi''s heart seethed with anger, clearly understanding Lu Huai''s implications.


    "Vice Hall Master Lu," Song Yi said in a low tone, "as long as I pass the assessment, I will definitely obey your orders for the next three years."


    She could only lower her head.


    "I''m afraid that''s still not enough."


    Lu Huai finally showed his fangs, grinning: "I tried to reason, but that Inspection Envoy still thinks you look quite presentable and are more suitable for reception and publicity work. He suggested that the contract reviews and financial tasks you are in charge of could be set aside for now."


    "What do you think, Hall Master Song?" Lu Huai stared at Song Yi.


    In the three years since he took office, Lu Huai had long coveted the financial authority of the Starry Sky Guanshan sub-hall.


    Unfortunately, he had never found the opportunity.


    Song Yi''s complexion completely changed, and she suddenly stood up, staring fiercely at Lu Huai: "Vice Hall Master Lu, are you really intent on pushing me to the brink?"


    "It''s just one week until the assessment," Lu Huai smiled.


    "Hmph!"


    "Then please have this Inspection Envoy submit the report. I don''t believe that because of Li Yuan, I can''t pass the assessment," Song Yi scoffed, turning around to leave.


    Bang~ The door slammed shut violently.


    "So stubborn!"


    Lu Huai picked up his teacup, smiling: "This is really good tea, a pity it''s still too hot, needs to cool down before I can drink it."


    ...


    "Threatening me?" Song Yi returned to her office and angrily threw her cup.


    Bang! Bang!


    The batch of teacups she had just purchased shattered quickly, ending their brief mission of venting anger.


    "Stay calm!"


    "Calm down," Song Yi urged herself to stay calm: "I must get past this barrier."


    "I must find a way."


    Song Yi quickly pondered: "Cooperate with Lu Huai? No! That guy is a smiling tiger. If I back down today, then forget about holding my head high again."


    "Even after this, he can still use the matter with Li Yuan to suppress me."


    "Then I would really become his puppet on strings!" Song Yi was stubborn by nature.


    She would rather resign and apply to become a ''Star Realm Martial Artist'' than endure this indignity.


    "So there are only two paths."


    "On one hand, I should ask my esteemed seniors for help," Song Yi muttered to herself, knowing that she had supporters behind her rise to the position of Vice Hall Master.


    "On the other hand."


    "The person who tied the bell can also untie it," Song Yi understood the key point: "Li Yuan."


    "I must have him join me in staging a play."


    Song Yi thought for a moment and began contacting Wan Qinghe.


    Although the two great Martial Halls competed, they were part of the same district, and their high-level executives naturally had ways to contact each other.


    ...


    About the disputes triggered by himself, Li Yuan was unaware.


    In the afternoon.


    As usual, Li Yuan went to the Martial Hall, waiting for the new ''actual combat sparring'' and preparing for today''s combat training.


    But soon, Li Yuan was greeted by another familiar face.


    "Lord Wan?" Li Yuan was astonished: "Where is Coach Wu?"


    "He had something else and asked for leave at the last moment," Wan Qinghe said with a smile: "Today, I''ll be the one to spar with you in actual combat."


    "You?" Li Yuan''s eyes widened.


    "What, you think I''m not qualified?" A hint of displeasure appeared on Wan Qinghe''s face.


    "No," Li Yuan shook his head quickly.


    After a two-second silence.


    "Hall Master, you''re too expensive, I can''t afford it, maybe we should switch to someone cheaper?"


    "Unless, you''re willing to give me a discount!"

 Chapter 98: 94: Subtlety of the Mind (Extra for 14,000 monthly votes)

    "Lord Wan, Coach Wu is a level 18 martial artist, and a single sparring session with him costs 30,000 Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan calculated. "But you are a Prime Warrior... according to the prices I found, a sparring session with a Prime Warrior starts at 100,000 Blue Star Coins."


    Watching the serious expression on Li Yuan''s face, Wan Qinghe struggled to hold back a laugh.


    He suspected that Li Yuan was feigning ignorance, but it wasn''t good to call him out on it.


    Indeed, the fees for sparring with a Prime Warrior were exorbitantly high.


    But the reality was... there was no market for it.


    For martial artists or students at about level 10, those between levels 15 and 18 could usually fulfill the sparring responsibilities.


    Sparring with a Prime Warrior?


    That was often only needed by martial artists above level 15.


    But martial artists of such levels already possessed the strength to protect themselves and could delve into certain Star Realms to fight to the death with genuine Star Realm creatures.


    Not only could they temper themselves, they could also earn money.


    Thus, unless a Prime Warrior was willing to ''lower their own worth'',


    there would be no space for them in the sparring market.


    "Haha, don''t worry, I''ll give you a discount," Wan Qinghe laughed. "How about this, 10,000 Blue Star Coins per session?"


    Li Yuan smiled.


    10,000 Blue Star Coins? For Lord Wan, this was practically giving it away for free.


    He instantly understood that this was Lord Wan''s way of further closing the distance between them.


    "Good."


    Li Yuan did not refuse, and with a smile said, "Then I''ll trouble you, Hall Master."


    Through his uncle Li Changzhou''s teachings, sometimes Li Yuan was not afraid of owing too many favors.


    What is rapport?


    There is no affection without interaction, and those willing to help you will often continue to do so.


    For the current Li Yuan, forming a deeper connection with an influential figure like Wan Qinghe was advantageous and harmless.


    "Haha, you''re certainly not shy," Wan Qinghe laughed.


    He now confirmed that Li Yuan''s earlier accounting was just for show.


    "I am on good terms with your teacher Xu Bo, so in the future, you don''t need to call me Lord Wan," Wan Qinghe said with a smile. "I''m older, so just call me Uncle Wan."


    Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.


    "What''s the matter, unwilling?" Wan Qinghe asked with a smile. "If you are reluctant, then never mind."


    "Of course I''m willing," Li Yuan replied with due formality, respectfully performing a salute: "Li Yuan greets Uncle Wan."


    Wan Qinghe nodded, his esteem for Li Yuan growing even higher.


    Knows when to advance and when to retreat, understands human relations, values family, possesses high talent, and trains extremely hard¡­ indeed, he is an uncut gem.


    "Alright."


    "Now that you''ve called me Uncle Wan, I will fulfill my duty as an uncle."


    "You may disregard other things, but martial arts cultivation cannot be taken lightly," Wan Qinghe said seriously. "Put on your protective gear, and let me see the level of your spear technique."


    "Go all out, don''t worry about injuring me."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, understanding the terrifying strength of a Prime Warrior.


    Even if he stood still and let himself be attacked, he probably wouldn''t break through his defense.


    Soon.


    The two actually began their combat session.


    "Huff!" Li Yuan, holding a long spear, suddenly burst forth, and with a single stab, more than twenty spear shadows instantly appeared, thunderously striking toward his opponent.


    "Boom!"


    Wan Qinghe held a long stick, which moved with astonishing speed, striking from behind to the front, effortlessly blocking Li Yuan''s fierce thrust.


    "Buzz~" Waves of terrifying force, like ocean waves, traveled through the spear shaft in an instant, making Li Yuan''s arm tremble, first numbing his arm, then his whole body.


    This was a very peculiar method of exerting force.


    With just one exchange, Li Yuan realized that Lord Wan''s skill realm was far above his own.


    "Oh? You managed not to drop your weapon?" Lord Wan''s eyes flashed with surprise: "Your Spear Technique?"


    Lord Wan could feel that Li Yuan''s burst of strength was indeed around level 10.


    But his mastery of spear techniques was higher than he had estimated.


    "Again," Lord Wan commanded. "Continue to attack me, and remember, feel the vigor in my stick."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded and once again abruptly unleashed his attack.


    "Boom!"


    "Pfft~" "Swish~" Li Yuan''s spear technique immediately changed, becoming even more mysterious and unpredictable. One thrust followed another; some of these techniques were swift, some hammered with great force, some slashed sideways, and some were fierce and angry stabs. Overall, they surged toward Wan Qinghe like a tide.


    These moves, while appearing different, all actually originated from the "Galaxy Waterfall" technique.


    The Starry Sky Five Forms were not merely five simple techniques.


    In fact, each form contained a multitude of responses to an enemy''s spear technique.


    The Galaxy Waterfall was one of the Starry Sky Five Forms, most adept at continuous attacks, building momentum unceasingly.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" Wan Qinghe held the stick in one hand, quite easily fending off Li Yuan''s assaults.


    Each time, as soon as Li Yuan began to build up his spear technique to burst forth, he would suddenly be counterattacked by Wan Qinghe.


    The strange vigor that trembled down would disrupt Li Yuan''s spear style completely.


    It was extremely uncomfortable. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This kind of vigor." Li Yuan tried his best to perceive it, his spirit penetrating the spear shaft, attempting to figure out the pattern of the vigor being transmitted through Wan Qinghe''s stick.


    It was incredibly complex!


    It was as if he was facing a tangled mess, with no clue where to start.


    "It''s impossible to dissipate all the vigor in an instant; it''s a very sophisticated method of handling vigor," Li Yuan immediately realized. "What I can do is to try to dissipate some of it incrementally, thereby neutralizing more and more until I can fully cope with it."


    Li Yuan immediately changed his strategy for dealing with it, and his spear techniques also began to change accordingly.


    "Hmm?"


    Wan Qinghe, being far more advanced than Li Yuan, noticed at once and was surprised: "So quickly, he''s found the right approach?"


    "Could he truly be a genius who understands instinctively?"


    ...


    Inside Martial Arts Room 7024, after an intense hour of battle, it was Li Yuan who first couldn''t keep up.


    He surrendered and laid down his long spear.


    "Uncle Wan, I''ve reached my limit," Li Yuan shook his head with a wistful smile. "It''s too difficult to dissipate the vigor from your stick technique."


    Battling with Wan Qinghe for an hour exhausted him more than a full day of his usual cultivation.


    "Do you feel it?" Wan Qinghe asked with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    "Talk to me," Wan Qinghe urged.


    "In terms of pure strength and speed, your bursts are very weak, probably even weaker than mine," Li Yuan said gravely. "But with each exchange, the instant explosion of vigor, whether it''s entangling force, shocking force, or unloading force, you are far superior in applying these kinds of vigor."


    As a "Spear Technique Master" who had reached 25% of the Fourth Level, Li Yuan now had quite a high perspective.


    "Correct," Wan Qinghe smiled. "That is exactly what I want to teach you today."


    Li Yuan immediately listened carefully.


    "In terms of physical quality, you''ve reached the threshold of an Entry Rank Martial Artist," Wan Qinghe said. "Next, you must gradually work towards becoming a Prime Warrior."


    "Do you know the three great challenges of a Prime Warrior?" Wan Qinghe inquired.


    "I know," Li Yuan responded solemnly. "Spiritual power, skill realm, and physical quality."


    Spiritual power at level 20, skill realm at the Fourth Level with mind and body in unity, and physical quality at level 19.9.


    These are the three fundamental requirements for stepping into the realm of a Prime Warrior.


    It was not a secret; naturally, Li Yuan was aware of them.


    "Right," Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan. "For most First Rank Martial Artists, spiritual power and skill realm are the most difficult. That''s why they consume Spirit Nourishing Potions and Spirit Nourishing Pills. Advancing from the Third to the Fourth Level in skill is a significant challenge."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Advancing in skill realm was indeed difficult. Transitioning from the perfection of the Third Stage to the Fourth Level had stalled him for many days.


    As for spiritual power? He had been cultivating the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" for so long and still hadn''t reached level 20.


    "However, for a normal Martial Artist, improving the body is relatively easier," Wan Qinghe continued. "But for you, it''s exactly the opposite."


    "Your greatest challenge is improving your body."


    Li Yuan did not dispute this point. Without the aid of High Rank cultivation methods, it was indeed much harder to enhance physical quality.


    "Using treasures like the Body Cleansing Marrow, you saw significant short-term effects," Wan Qinghe said. "But once your physical quality reached level 15, it became increasingly difficult."


    "Level 15?" Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully.


    "Beyond level 15, a Martial Artist''s body is already extremely strong," Wan Qinghe declared solemnly. "For example, a level 15 Martial Artist can throw a punch with a force of over ten thousand kilograms."


    "And a level 19 Martial Artist? Their punch can exceed a full force of over fifty thousand kilograms."


    "With each level''s difference, the gap in strength is astounding."


    "Historically, the original generation of Martial Artists truly spared no expense, utilizing all kinds of treasures and combined with the topmost talents. Only then did they gradually elevate themselves to become Prime Warriors," Wan Qinghe said. "But you don''t have such external conditions."


    Li Yuan listened silently.


    Indeed!


    Organizations like the Martial Hall and Kunlun Martial University seemed to value him, but they would certainly not give him those truly extraordinary treasures yet.


    The certainty was too great.


    "Of course, if you continue to cultivate step by step, I reckon that by about the age of 22, you could become a Prime Warrior," Wan Qinghe said. "Four years, a Prime Warrior at the age of 22, is quite fast for most people."


    "But compared to your skill realm and spiritual power, it''s too slow," Wan Qinghe shook his head. "You also have to create laws, which would waste your prime cultivation time."


    Li Yuan was left speechless.


    Originally, Wan Qinghe estimated that I could become a Prime Warrior in at most four years, around my senior year of college.


    "Uncle Wan, what should I do?" Li Yuan asked the question the other party had intended for him to ask.


    "One is through Heavenly Materials Treasures, but that''s not realistic, so let''s not talk about it."


    "Two, it''s about skill." Wan Qinghe said earnestly, "This is also what I want to talk about today, if your skill could quickly reach the ''heart and skill entering subtlety''."


    "Then, the evolution speed of your body will greatly increase."


    "Heart and skill entering subtlety?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, he was unfamiliar with these terms.


    "Fourth Level skills are divided into two minor levels," Wan Qinghe said with a smile, "The first realm is Unity."


    "The ''Unity'' that ordinary Martial Artists talk about is actually just the preliminary mobilization of whole-body vigor, achieving a unified force in large muscle groups and bones."


    "But upon entering the Fourth Level, the heart further perceives the body and can further excavate deeper potential from the body, unleashing greater strength and speed."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, the reason he could fight a level 12 Moon Demon Wolf King with level 9 during the combat assessment was exactly because of this.


    "Theoretically, if one can excavate one''s body potential to the extreme, a level 10 Martial Artist can easily contend with many level 14 or even level 15 warriors."


    Li Yuan also felt deeply moved, this was the terrifying aspect of profound skills.


    "However, when the perception of the body''s strength reaches a certain extent, it''s often difficult to continue excavating."


    "Each person has different limits, which is why many Prime Warriors are stuck at the initial rank of Fourth Level," Wan Qinghe explained, "To further break through, one must delve deeper into the body with the heart, allowing the power of the heart to reach every muscle, every bone, and even every flow of blood."


    "From top to bottom, the slightest injury in the tiniest capillary can be clearly perceived with the ''heart.''"


    "By then, not only can one unleash the body''s limit of strength, one can also detect various minor injuries and easily repair them, maintaining the body in its peak condition, and extending one''s lifespan to over 200 years."


    "This is the perfection of Fourth Level skills, a thought of the heart discerning subtlety!"


    "Also known as the Subtle Realm!"


    "It is also one of the necessary conditions for breaking through to be a level 25 Prime Warrior," a hint of longing flashed in Wan Qinghe''s eyes.


    Li Yuan''s eyes widened as he listened.


    Perfection of Fourth Level skills? A lifespan of over 200 years?


    This is a level 25 Prime Warrior!


    "Think about it, if your skill reaches ''subtlety,''" Wan Qinghe said with a smile, "with the utilization of your body reaching its limit, how fast do you think your body''s evolution will become? I''m afraid that with enough resources, you could achieve level 19.9 in just one or two years."


    Immediately, Li Yuan had a goal in his heart, subtlety! The perfection of Fourth Level skills!


    "Uncle Wan, have you reached the subtlety in your skills?" Li Yuan suddenly asked.


    "I¡­"


    Wan Qinghe''s voice abruptly stopped, and he stiffly changed the subject, "By the way, apart from the actual combat training today, there''s something else I wanted to talk to you about."


    "Sure, please go on, Uncle Wan," Li Yuan, discerning everything, chose not to expose his newly acknowledged ''uncle,'' caring for his feelings.


    He was already a mature nephew, learning to take care of his uncle''s emotions.


    "Song Yi, the Vice Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall''s branch in Starry Sky Pass, remember her?" Wan Qinghe said.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, he remembered her.


    She was only willing to offer him a D-rank contract.


    But Uncle Wan was better, directly giving him a B-rank contract.


    "She offered 1 million, wanting to invite you to do an interview program on television," Wan Qinghe said with a smile, "talking about how you bonded with Starfire Martial Hall from a young age, how you aspired to be part of Starfire Martial Hall, and finally, after some efforts, succeeded in signing a contract with Starfire Martial Hall¡ªthe ''inspirational growth story.''"


    "What do you think? Are you interested?"

 Chapter 99: 95: Hes Worth the Price (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

    "A million Blue Star Coins for a television interview?" Li Yuan was dumbstruck.


    What kind of play was this?


    The key point, according to Uncle Wan''s meaning, was that this program was going to be about his own story with Starfire Martial Hall?


    But there was no story to tell!


    In the past, when he bought qi and blood potions, he always went to Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    "Don''t understand?" Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan with a slightly puzzled expression and smiled, "This Song Yi, in Starry Sky Martial Hall, is responsible for various contract audits and the distribution of funds for the hall''s operation."


    "Financial authority?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Right," Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan, "You seem to know quite a bit."


    Li Yuan smiled; his uncle, Li Changzhou, had struggled in construction for many years and occasionally taught him; naturally, he understood some things.


    In any organization, so-called management simply means effectively controlling personnel authority, financial authority, and executive authority.


    Li Yuan could guess that Song Yi wielded great power in the Starry Sky Guan Mountain branch hall.


    "The hall conducts audits of each Martial Hall every three years," Wan Qinghe patiently explained, "And the next audit is coming up soon."


    "The matter of you almost signing with Starry Sky Martial Hall is no secret," Wan Qinghe laughed.


    Wan Qinghe didn''t say that this matter was primarily stirred up by him and Xu Bo together.


    "If you had only shown the potential for a Grade B contract, then the impact wouldn''t have been significant," Wan Qinghe smiled. "But the stronger you perform, especially in this April''s evaluation where you were essentially the top martial artist in Jiang City..."


    "Together with your performance at the Jiangbei Martial University recruitment event... it must have put her in a difficult position."


    "Moreover, the better you perform from now on, the more difficult it will become for her."


    "I suspect someone in Starry Sky Martial Hall is targeting her," Wan Qinghe laughed. "Controlling the finances of a hall comes with no small amount of benefit."


    "Internal strife?" Li Yuan was curious.


    "More like mutual supervision," Wan Qinghe laughed. "It can promote healthy internal competition."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Uncle is just at a higher level than himself.


    "So, she came to me?" Li Yuan pondered, "Is it to have me declare through the program that my signing with Starfire Martial Hall was due to my own subjective reasons and not her dereliction of duty?"


    "To permanently resolve the problem of me?" Li Yuan smiled. "If you can''t solve the problem, solve the person who raises the problem?"


    "Smart," Wan Qinghe smiled. "Once you appear on the program, and she promotes it in secret, there should be no one who can openly use that reason to attack her anymore."


    "At least, she would have a strong support to defend herself."


    "Uncle Wan, what do you think I should do?" Li Yuan asked respectfully.


    In fact, Li Yuan already had an idea, but he could see that Uncle Wan had a strong ''desire to perform.''


    You must understand.


    Seniors love being respected, asked for opinions, and appreciated when the younger generation can take those opinions and improve even further upon them.


    This is the essence of all kinds of relationships¡ªbe it that of a parent and child, confidants, or friends without regard for age difference.


    Just as Li Yuan expected.


    "If you refuse, you would offend her. Of course, it wouldn''t affect you much; she wouldn''t be stupid enough to target you anymore," Wan Qinghe laughed, "because you have become powerful enough to be her problem."


    "But it''s always good to have one less direct enemy," Wan Qinghe smiled. "The little devil is troublesome to deal with."


    Li Yuan smiled; his own strength was the most important.


    Why didn''t Song Yi come to him before? Why didn''t she try to resolve the problem of him? It was because she didn''t think he was worth mentioning.


    If Song Yi knew that Uncle Wan treated her as a little devil, she would be grinding her teeth in irritation.


    "If you agree to turn hostility into goodwill, she will not only pay the money but also owe you a favor," Wan Qinghe continued. "Besides, once the program airs, if the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall are aware, they will also appreciate you more."


    It all sounded like benefits.


    "However, it would offend the higher-ups in Starry Sky Martial Hall who are targeting Song Yi," Li Yuan picked up the conversation. "But I am with Starfire Martial Hall, and I don''t care about her."


    "Right," Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan approvingly, "It''s up to you."


    Li Yuan had seen through Uncle Wan''s thoughts.


    "Uncle Wan, I think you''re right, reconciliation is better," Li Yuan said directly, "I also have some of my own thoughts."


    "Speak," Wan Qinghe said.


    "One million, isn''t that a bit cheap?" Li Yuan asked tentatively.


    Wan Qinghe was taken aback, then laughed, "You little devil, what do you want to do?"


    "For a million, I''ll only appear on the show saying that I''ve liked Starfire Martial Hall since I was a child," Li Yuan laughed. "For two million, I''ll say that I have admired Hall Master Dongfang since I was little, idolized him, and was determined to join Starfire Martial Hall."


    "For three million, in addition to the above, I''ll add that my family is friends with ''Zhong Cheng'' from Starry Sky Martial Hall, so Hall Master Song Yi made me many private promises, even preparing to apply for a Grade B contract for me out of sequence, but ultimately, despite such temptations, I steadfastly chose to join Starfire Martial Hall," Li Yuan said in one breath.


    Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan with completely changed eyes.


    Three packages¡ªbasic, premium, flagship?


    If based on the last package.


    Song Yi would not only be blameless, but in a certain sense, she would have done all in her power, fulfilling her duties commendably.


    No deductions, and she would even merit extra points.


    "Uncle Wan, my thoughts might be naive, what do you think?" Li Yuan held the opinion of the elder in high regard.


    "You can proceed with the last plan," Hall Master Wan pondered, "But did you really lean toward joining Starfire Martial Hall at first?"


    "Yes!"


    "Although it''s not as exaggerated as the third plan, I did indeed prefer to join Starfire Martial Hall," Li Yuan said decisively, "I don''t dare deceive Uncle Wan; since I was young, I have greatly admired Hall Master Dongfang. One wall of my room is adorned with Hall Master Dongfang''s words saying ''Martial Path is me.''"


    "As a child, I wrote more than once that ''The person I admire most is Hall Master Dongfang.''"


    "Furthermore, my classmates also know that my idol is Hall Master Dongfang," Li Yuan quickly provided the ''material'' needed for a segment of the program.


    But in actuality, Li Yuan was downplaying things.


    Yes, Li Yuan admired Dongfang Ji very much, but he never had such a fervent desire to join Starfire Martial Hall.


    A mix of three parts truth, seven parts fabrication.


    But who could tell? There were no mind readers.


    "That''s good," Wan Qinghe believed Li Yuan.


    Suddenly, Wan Qinghe remembered something and couldn''t help but feel sentimental, "Back then, your teacher told me your aunt and uncle did not quite approve of you agreeing to sign a Grade B contract with us at Starfire right away; you insisted on agreeing immediately."


    "I always secretly thought your teacher was bluffing me, but now? I believe it," Wan Qinghe laughed.


    Li Yuan kept a smile on his face.


    Xu Bo, his teacher, had indeed streamlined a lot of processes for him.


    "Alright,"


    "Then let''s proceed with the third plan. I''ll go and talk to Song Yi, leave it to me."


    "3 million may not be guaranteed, but at least 2 million is possible. I will do my best to strive for you," Wan Qinghe smiled. "Once the show airs, if it''s promoted well, the higher-ups of the Martial Hall will also have a better impression of you."


    "Thank you, Uncle Wan," Li Yuan said sincerely. "Additionally, Uncle Wan, I''ve been thinking, if I can pass the 300-point mark at Fallen Star, and move up in the rankings on Blue Star''s ''Youth Pride Leaderboard,'' couldn''t that increase my bargaining chips?"


    "Fallen Star 300 points? Are you confident?" Wan Qinghe''s eyes shone brightly.


    300 points in Fallen Star represented a minor watershed for Fourth Level techniques.


    "Yes," Li Yuan confirmed. "I''ve already reached 242 points in Fallen Star, and that was a week ago."


    "If I spend a bit more time, in this day or two, I should be able to break through."


    "Ha ha, good. If you can achieve that, I will make her offer at least 3 million," Wan Qinghe laughed. "Alright, continue with your training."


    "Yes."


    ...


    "Uncle Wan''s Vigor is mysterious and unpredictable; he must have mastered control over his bodily strength to the utmost degree," Li Yuan pondered alone in the Martial Hall.


    "Body control."


    "Unity, Subtlety." Li Yuan resumed practicing with his Long Spear, with deliberate slowness.


    He consciously induced and mobilized deeper layers of strength within his body.


    Li Yuan didn''t pay much attention to the matter of Song Yi.


    Money? 2 or 3 million, it would be best to obtain it, but if not, so be it.


    Over ten minutes later.


    "Powerful."


    "As long as I am strong enough," Li Yuan''s Long Spear whistled through the air, and the spear shadows shifted unpredictably: "Whoever troubles me will find that I am their trouble."


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, he thrust his spear, resembling a streak of light dashed across, causing a startling roar within the Martial Arts Room.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has increased from Fourth Level 25% to Fourth Level 26%.]


    ...


    On the twelfth floor of the Martial Hall, the Hall Master''s office.


    "Hall Master Song," Wan Qinghe said with a smile, looking at the elegant lady in the light screen projection. "Sorry to have kept you waiting."


    "How is it?" Song Yi asked. "Is Li Yuan willing to agree?"


    "Li Yuan is very courteous and is willing to appear on the show," Wan Qinghe said.


    A sense of joy flashed in Song Yi''s heart.


    "However," Wan Qinghe''s tone shifted, and his expression cooled slightly: "If Li Yuan is willing to help Hall Master Song, shouldn''t Hall Master Song also be a bit more understanding?"


    Song Yi understood immediately and went straight to the point: "Lord Wan, just tell me, what''s your price?"


    "10 million!" Wan Qinghe stated indifferently.


    "What?" Song Yi''s expression changed slightly; despite her wealth, not that she couldn''t afford the price.


    But it was too steep.


    "He''s worth that price," Wan Qinghe stated casually. "Let''s discuss this in detail."


    Immediately after, Wan Qinghe explained the three plans to Song Yi.


    Her expression grew very interesting.


    "Additionally," Wan Qinghe''s face showed an inexplicable smile: "I want to remind Hall Master Song; I can also prepare another show where Li Yuan can thoroughly discuss how I, with my discerning eyes, spotted the gem he is, and the ''real process'' of how he joined my Starfire Martial Hall."


    Song Yi''s face darkened to the extreme.


    "Hall Master Wan, you think too highly of Li Yuan," Song Yi ground her teeth. "In my assessment, he only makes up a small part, at most 2 or 3 points out of 100."


    "You''re only missing those 2 or 3 points to pass the evaluation," Wan Qinghe replied, no longer being polite.


    "I''ll remind you,"


    "Tonight or tomorrow, Li Yuan will break through the 300-point barrier on Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "When that happens, it won''t be this price anymore," Wan Qinghe said coldly.


    Song Yi''s face changed again.


    "10 million is too much," Song Yi said lowly. "At most 6 million, or I might as well give up this position."


    She had her limits.


    "Alright, deal," Wan Qinghe nodded. "However, you''ll have to cover all the taxes."


    "Taxes? What taxes?" An inkling of unease passed through Song Yi''s mind.


    "You will donate the money to ''Guan Mountain District Red River Street Martial Path Talent Development Association'' via the official channels," Wan Qinghe explained casually. "Whatever is left, you won''t have to worry about."


    A donation? S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Song Yi was stunned; she had never heard of such an association.


    In the end.


    Song Yi was forced to agree.


    "The money should arrive within two hours, remember, don''t use your own accounts," Wan Qinghe reminded her. "Then you can be on the show tomorrow."


    "You''ll still have three days to do promotions."


    After hanging up on Song Yi.


    Wan Qinghe dialed another V-call, and soon.


    "Big brother," a deep voice came through.


    "Little Six, didn''t I ask you to set up an association in Red River Street last time?" Wan Qinghe''s voice was deep. "Today, a sum of money will come in, about 6 million after taxes."


    "Make sure the accounts are in order."


    "In a week, there will be a program airing, and you''ll justify the donation for sponsoring underprivileged, aspiring Martial Path talents by awarding it to class (2) of the senior year at Guan Mountain District No.1 High School, to a student named ''Li Yuan.''"


    "How much shall we keep?"


    "Not a single cent; I''ll cover the intermediary expenses."


    "Understood."


    ...


    One hour later.


    "Li Yuan? Initially, Song Yi was only willing to offer 2 million, but I did my best to negotiate for you, and after a long talk, she agreed to pay 6 million," Wan Qinghe made a V-call to Li Yuan.

 Chapter 100: 96 Violence is the Source (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    "6 million?" Li Yuan was stunned when he heard the number.


    The previously proposed 3 million, in his view, was already an ''astronomical price,'' considering it was just for a few hours on a show.


    Therefore, Li Yuan''s expectation was around 2 million.


    To his surprise, Wan Qinghe was actually able to negotiate up to 6 million Blue Star Coins, which was simply terrifying.


    "Uncle Wan, impressive," Li Yuan sincerely said.


    He still had a lot to learn from Uncle Wan.


    "You underestimate your own value," Wan Qinghe laughed in the V-chat: "The first priority in negotiations is to be clear about your own value, and then to gauge the other party''s bottom line."


    Wan Qinghe didn''t explicitly say, but he had started at 10 million Blue Star Coins, guessing that Song Yi would eventually give in.


    But in dealing with people, one should leave room for maneuver.


    If you''re not prepared to utterly defeat the opponent in one blow, it''s best not to corner them.


    "Mmm-hmm," Li Yuan nodded: "So, Uncle Wan, about the money..."


    "Don''t worry, I''ve arranged everything," Wan Qinghe said solemnly: "You''ll go on the show tomorrow, and as for the money... the plan is roughly this."


    Wan Qinghe briefly explained the arrangement to Li Yuan.


    "The Guan Mountain District Red River Street Martial Path Talent Development Fund Association?" Li Yuan blinked, what a backwater name.


    He couldn''t help asking, "Uncle Wan, is this association reliable? Let''s not get scammed."


    "Of course, it''s real," Wan Qinghe replied indifferently: "It''s officially registered, and Song Yi is sponsoring the association voluntarily, which has nothing to do with you or me, and it''s taxed."


    "In the end, because the association is inspired by your deeds, they''ll support your martial arts cultivation, which also has nothing to do with Song Yi, and personal income tax will be paid."


    "Exactly."


    "The final 6 million you get has nothing to do with Song Yi, complying with every regulation of the Seven Star Alliance, so spend it without worry," Wan Qinghe said.


    "Understood," Li Yuan''s mind was like a clear mirror.


    In fact, this kind of private financial transaction could directly go to him without any issues...but since Song Yi needed to pass the scrutiny of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, it was necessary to leave no trace.


    "Uncle," Li Yuan naturally dropped another word from the honorific.


    He had completed the evolution from calling him Uncle Wan, to just Wan, and now simply Uncle.


    "What''s the matter? Something else?" Wan Qinghe laughed.


    "There should be some expenses in this operation, right? I know there are rules," Li Yuan whispered: "How about we go with the original plan and give me 3 million instead?"


    "After all, running a society involves a lot of management, staff, and the costs of premises, probably tens of millions each year," Li Yuan said earnestly.


    Following the rules is important.


    Uncle Wan might not say it, but he couldn''t help but bring it up.


    "No need, if you still called me Hall Master Wan, then it would be by the rules," Wan Qinghe spoke lightly: "But if you call me ''uncle,'' I can''t let you call me that for nothing."


    "All right then."


    "You go back to cultivating," Wan Qinghe instructed.


    "Remember, all this is trivial, your strength is the foundation."


    "Also,"


    "The day after tomorrow in the afternoon, take leave with your teacher and come with me to the Jiang City Martial Hall. The City Hall Master ''Elder Fei'' wants to meet you."


    "Mm, thank you, Uncle."


    ...


    "6 million? Just like that, it''s in my hands?" Li Yuan hung up the V-chat, also somewhat flabbergasted.


    "Uncle was right indeed."


    "The richer they are, the more ruthless they are at making money. The hardest million for ordinary people to earn is the first one," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Through Wan Qinghe''s maneuvers, Li Yuan also realized that Uncle Wan was not as benign and simple as he appeared on the surface.


    To think, how long had the other party been in office?


    And to already have such a well-established registered association.


    "Every man has his method."


    Li Yuan tightly gripped the long spear in his hand, murmuring to himself, "But the most powerful, will always be martial force."


    Like Dongfang Ji, who established ''Starfire Martial Hall'' that in just a few decades penetrated the domains of the Seven Great Planets, altering numerous rules from top to bottom within the Seven Star Alliance, tampering with many people''s vested interests.


    For instance, opening up Cultivation Techniques, the high school examination system, the Martial Hall contract system... Was it reliant on interpersonal skills?


    No! It was his invincible martial force! It was his resolve to protect the entire Human Race.


    Violence, it''s the foundation and the source.


    Dongfang Ji''s ''Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement,'' though only half a page long in the history textbooks, but behind it lay countless beheaded, innumerable noble families and clans dissipated like smoke.


    "Martial Path."


    Li Yuan put down his spear and continued to practice the Basic Cultivation Method, not daring to relax for even a moment.


    Moreover, Li Yuan could feel that Wan Qinghe was indeed sincere toward him.


    Because, more than once he reminded him: "Your strength is the cornerstone."


    ...


    In the evening, Li Yuan returned home and chatted with his younger brother and sister.


    They went to sleep.


    "Auntie, how''s Uncle doing?" Li Yuan asked while sipping the hot milk his aunt had prepared for him.


    A cup of hot milk wasn''t much use to him.


    But Li Yuan knew that his rapid growth had made his aunt somewhat uncomfortable, and this was one of the few ways she could show her love for him.


    Why take that away?


    This was also why Li Yuan insisted on coming home every day. From the perspective of pure cultivation benefits, he could entirely live in the Martial Hall.


    But then, what would his aunt think?


    The purpose of cultivation is not just to cultivate, but for the family.


    "His condition is improving quickly, he''s been moved to a regular ward, and his vital signs are basically back to normal. The Martial Hall''s special care workers are taking shifts around the clock, so I hardly need to be there," Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan drinking his milk, the corners of her mouth unintentionally curling up a bit, as it made her feel like this was still the nephew she knew.


    "Also, the treatment costs are mostly covered by the state, and the remaining part was paid by your uncle''s company."


    "Moreover, considering your uncle''s situation, there''s an additional ''Merit Subsidy'' from the state of about 400,000 Blue Star Coins, which should arrive within half a month," Chen Hui said.


    "Mm, that''s good," Li Yuan nodded, the treatment for uncle didn''t cost the family much.


    Expenses like rapid transfers using aircraft, Uncle Wan didn''t ask me to pay either.


    "By the way."


    "Last time, that Brother Lin, the treasures they brought, they didn''t make things difficult for you, did they?" Chen Hui couldn''t help asking. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She was present at the time and had signed the documents, knowing that the mysterious ''Brother Lin'' was the key to saving her husband.


    "No."


    "If we''re talking about owing favors, then yes, but those were people from the high ranks of the Martial Hall," Li Yuan said with ease, "Auntie, don''t worry, I''m quite capable now. I''ll arrange everything properly. Once I become a Prime Warrior in the future, none of these will be an issue."


    Li Yuan didn''t tell his auntie the truth, as it wasn''t particularly meaningful.


    But he also couldn''t keep her completely in the dark, as that would add to her psychological burden, making her prone to wild thoughts.


    "That''s good, we should properly thank those people," Chen Hui said, "Today, the hospital director told me your uncle''s recovery is almost complete, and they are ready to use the ''Consciousness Awakening Device''."


    "Consciousness Awakening Device?" Li Yuan nodded slightly, "Okay, let''s trust the doctors."


    Nowadays, the number of people in a vegetative state has drastically reduced, thanks to the ''Consciousness Awakening Device''.


    Its principle is similar to ''conscious contact sensing'' in a virtual network.


    It starts by introducing the ''vegetative person''s'' consciousness into the virtual network, then enhancing the stimuli.


    Ultimately achieving the goal of awakening.


    "By the way, Auntie, the Martial Hall told me that the apartment in Starfire South Lake District has been tidied up and redecorated, ready for us to move in," Li Yuan said, "It will be more convenient for you when you go to work, and for Qianqian and Muhua when they go to the Martial Hall."


    "What about this house then?" Chen Hui hesitated, "Should we wait for your uncle to wake up and leave the hospital before we move?"


    She felt a bit lost, as Li Yuan had brought huge changes to the whole family in just a few months.


    "We can leave this house as it is for now," Li Yuan said with a smile, "Everything that should be bought there has been bought. We can move in for a few days to see how it goes. If you''re still not used to it, we can move back."


    "You might not mind."


    "But for Qianqian and Muhua, the cultivation and learning environment will be better there," Li Yuan knew exactly how to grasp his auntie''s concerns.


    "Mm, okay," Chen Hui nodded reluctantly, she didn''t really care much about the villa.


    However, she placed great importance on the education of Li Qianqian and Li Muhua.


    Just like she once did for Li Yuan.


    "Beep~" Chen Hui suddenly felt her smart ring vibrate and looked down, slightly startled, "Two million Blue Star Coins?"


    She had just received a transfer from Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan, what''s this?" Chen Hui was astounded, two million Blue Star Coins!


    That was more than a decade''s worth of her salary.


    "It''s for Qianqian and Muhua," Li Yuan said with a smile, "Auntie, this amount of money isn''t much to me anymore. This time I ranked first in the Jiang City Martial Path exams, and the day after tomorrow, the City Hall Master wants to meet me."


    "The City Hall Master?" Chen Hui gasped; this was a significant figure in her eyes.


    Usually only seen in the news.


    "The money is mainly to provide Qianqian and Muhua, especially Qianqian, with an Origin Power Essence Pill every two months," Li Yuan said, "You must have seen the training documents before."


    "Mm, okay," Chen Hui nodded, as she held a master''s degree and was quite educated.


    Shortly after.


    Li Yuan went into his room to wash up.


    "My nephew," Chen Hui stared at the empty milk cup on the table, lost in thought.


    "Big brother, sister-in-law,"


    "Can you see this?" Chen Hui silently prayed in her heart, "Li Yuan has really grown up completely."


    Just like Li Changzhou hadn''t forgotten.


    Chen Hui too had never forgotten how she held the wailing Li Yuan and ran for their lives.


    If Li Yuan''s parents hadn''t desperately fought off the two Star Realm Creatures, there would have been no escape.


    You must understand.


    Li Yuan''s parents were both Martial Artists, and if they had chosen to run for their lives, they would have had a much bigger chance of survival than the others.


    As she kept thinking.


    "Auntie, why are you crying?" Suddenly, a deep voice came from the bathroom.


    "Eh~"


    "Am I?" Chen Hui quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled, "My eyes are a bit uncomfortable from watching the light screen too much."


    ¡­


    Entering his room, Li Yuan sat down in the virtual network capsule straight away.


    "Having told Uncle Wan that I could score 300 points on the Fallen Star,"


    "Let''s get to it as soon as possible," Li Yuan thought to himself, glancing at his Divine Palace panel subconsciously.

    ----


    "Spear Technique, movement technique, both have improved compared to last week; there should be hope to break through," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "Let''s start."


    Li Yuan''s consciousness connected, and he entered the Starry Skies Fighting Network, beginning the Fallen Star rank match.

 Chapter 102: 98: The Commendable Elder Fei (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    April 16th, 2:00 PM.


    Li Yuan took leave and, accompanied by Wan Qinghe who arrived to pick him up at school, rode a low-altitude flyer to the interview location.


    "Uncle, is the interview set at the City Martial Hall?" Li Yuan had just sat down in the flyer when he heard Wan Qinghe''s words, which surprised him.


    "That''s right," Wan Qinghe said with a smile: "It''s because Elder Fei came back early today."


    "He found out about this and decided to set the interview location at the City Martial Hall."


    "So¡­"


    "After the interview, we''ll go to meet Elder Fei," said Wan Qinghe.


    "Okay." Li Yuan''s heart was still full of anticipation, the City Hall Master, after all, was from the capital city.


    In terms of status and power, he was probably even higher than President Li.


    "Have you memorized all the interview content?" Wan Qinghe casually inquired.


    "Memorized it. Following your guidance, uncle, I even practiced several times in front of the mirror. I should be able to come across naturally," Li Yuan said. "Do you want me to give you a couple of sections?"


    In actuality, the interview script was only given to Li Yuan this morning; where would there have been time to memorize it?


    He had just skimmed through it hastily.


    "Let''s see it then," said Wan Qinghe.


    Soon, Li Yuan performed roughly what he remembered from the content.


    "Not bad." Wan Qinghe was won over by Li Yuan''s ''acting'' and laughed: "I glanced through the original script, some parts were too official. Your performance is more natural, and some of the rougher words you used make it seem even more real."


    "The changes were good."


    "Yeah, yeah." Li Yuan nodded repeatedly; how could he not make changes? He hadn''t memorized it completely.


    "That''s also good."


    "Song Yi has decided to donate ten million to the association, after taxes," said Wan Qinghe nonchalantly.


    "Ten million?" Li Yuan was shocked; he suspected he had heard wrong.


    "Yes, she just V-chatted me this morning."


    "It must be because she heard about your breakthrough of 300 points on Fallen Star, ranking you within the top 10 of the Blue Star''s young talents of Xia Country," Wan Qinghe said with a smile: "You''re quite quick, probably gave her a real scare."


    "Or perhaps, she wants to form a good relationship with you."


    "Form a good relationship?" Li Yuan doubted his ears, his relationship with Song Yi wasn''t that of enemies.


    But it didn''t seem to be that good either.


    Logically, after taking a large sum from her, she should hate him.


    "Friend and foe, right and wrong, are never absolute," Wan Qinghe said with a smile: "You and Song Yi don''t have unresolvable grudges, so why can''t you be friends?"


    "On the contrary."


    "Becoming friends with Song Yi would actually highlight the authenticity of this program," Wan Qinghe said with a smile: "So, I answered on your behalf and agreed for you to have dinner together tonight."


    "Dinner together tonight? Uncle, isn''t that too hasty?" Li Yuan hesitated: "After all, she was involved with this program¡­"


    "What program of hers?" Wan Qinghe shook his head: "This program is my doing, aimed at making your accomplishments widely known to motivate more youths to diligently cultivate. It has nothing to do with her."


    "Her donation is unrelated to you, and the production and promotion of this episode are also unrelated to her."


    "Your dinner with her tonight is just a coincidence."


    "Do you understand?" Wan Qinghe lectured Li Yuan.


    "Got it, uncle!"


    ¡­


    The interview for the program took place in a conference room of the Starfire Jiang City Martial Hall, fully equipped for the event.


    The host was very professional.


    It was even a locally famous program in Jiang City.


    A group of professional spectators came, and the two-hour-long interview performance by Li Yuan was highly professional.


    ¡­


    By 5:00 PM, Li Yuan and Wan Qinghe finally arrived at the central building of the City Martial Hall.


    Upon entry.


    "These decorations, tsk tsk," Li Yuan privately marveled.


    Li Yuan didn''t understand much about interior design, but he could sense that despite their seemingly humble ancient-style, these decorations exuded luxury at a glance.


    "Old-fashioned and elegant, it truly reveals taste," said Wan Qinghe with a light smile: "Elder Fei has been in charge of the City Martial Hall for twenty years and has always valued this aspect a great deal."


    Li Yuan nodded and couldn''t help but ask, "Uncle, what is Lord Fei of the City Hall like as a person?"


    "He should treat you quite nicely," Wan Qinghe said with a smile: "Also, in front of Elder Fei, address me as Lord Wan."


    "Understood," Li Yuan responded, pondering the significance of the change in address.


    Soon, after passing through a security check, the two arrived at the highest floor''s City Hall Master''s office.


    It was quite spacious.


    The door was already open, and an elderly man in a black robe was leisurely practicing fist techniques, as if for health preservation, yet the invisible aura he emitted was very special.


    From a distance, Li Yuan instinctively sensed a hint of danger and became vigilant.


    This was the magnetic field caused by the life force of a strong being.


    "Elder Fei, Li Yuan has arrived," Wan Qinghe said respectfully from the doorway.


    Li Yuan followed closely behind.


    "He''s here? Qinghe, bring Li Yuan inside," Fei Qian stopped his practice and turned around, his gaze landing on Li Yuan with a smile: "Hello, Li Yuan."


    Li Yuan felt the other''s gaze to be gentle and not sharp, but it was as if he saw right through him.


    Very powerful.


    "Hall Master Fei," Li Yuan greeted respectfully.


    "No need for formalities, given our age difference I could be your grandfather. Just call me Elder Fei or Grandpa Fei," Fei Qian said with a smile. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Grandpa Fei," Li Yuan knew which option to choose.


    The three of them sat down, and Wan Qinghe began with a few necessary reports about recent work as a formality.


    "Today, Li Yuan happens to be doing a program. He mentioned that he has always admired you. Just now, before I could even talk to him, he brought you up himself," Wan Qinghe said smilingly.


    "Is that so? Then he''s thoughtful," Fei Qian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan maintained a polite smile on his face.


    Admiration? He had never said such a thing; Uncle Wan was playing off-script.


    "I''ve heard of many of your deeds, Grandpa Fei. My uncle has been mentioning them for years, saying that you were his lifesaver," Li Yuan blurted smoothly: "During the chaos at Xiang River 34 years ago, my uncle was in the Xiang River area maintaining the engineering projects and encountered an attack from Star Realm Creatures.


    At that time, it was Grandpa Fei who led the team and arrived just in time to rescue my uncle and the others."


    "My uncle always told me and my siblings to remember you," Li Yuan said earnestly.


    When praising someone, it''s best to pinpoint something good or small they''ve done; it easily wins their favor.


    Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan in surprise, wondering how he had such a deep connection with Old Fei.


    "The chaos at Xiang River? That was nearly ten years ago, a major disaster. I saved many people at that time." Fei Qian''s eyes revealed a reflection of memories, and he sighed, "I never imagined that I had also saved your uncle. That''s quite the fate."


    "Speaking of which."


    "Had Grandfather Fei not saved my uncle back then, it would have been difficult for me to embark on the Martial Path," Li Yuan said with a smile. "And today, it would have been very unlikely for me to meet Old Fei."


    "With that said, it''s not too far-fetched for Li Yuan to call Old Fei ''Grandfather,''" Wan Qinghe said with a smile.


    Fei Qian responded modestly, "As a Hall Master, saving people is my duty."


    But the smile at the corner of his mouth was very obvious.


    The scene was harmonious and warm for a moment.


    Li Yuan''s mind was clear as a mirror.


    Save his uncle? During the great disaster at Xiang River nine years ago, his uncle was indeed working locally, but tens of kilometers from the epicenter.


    In fact, Li Changzhou hadn''t faced any danger that time.


    However, over the years, whenever Li Changzhou watched the news, he would often say, "Hall Master Fei Qian of Jiang City is impressive."


    Li Yuan, knowing he would meet Fei Qian yesterday, had spent 15 minutes looking up his profile.


    He had noted many of his accomplishments, and his mind was filled with suitable conversation topics.


    "I''m aware of your uncle''s situation." Fei Qian continued smoothly, "There were indeed some oversights in handling the front lines, and I will help look into it... Also, I just returned from the capital and happened to meet a Level 29 Prime Warrior who is very adept at the spiritual secret technique."


    "I''ve already made an arrangement with him; he will take the time to come to Jiang City in three days, to assist with the ''Consciousness Awakening Device'' and perform an awakening for your uncle," Fei Qian said solemnly. "Hoping for success on the first try."


    "A Level 29 Prime Warrior skilled in spiritual secret techniques? Coming especially for my uncle?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    "Li Yuan," Wan Qinghe explained softly, "Level 29 Prime Warriors are all Fifth Stage experts, who from the inside out, achieve Unity of Heaven and Man and can begin to leverage the power of the elements gradually."


    "Among them, those adept at spiritual secret techniques have a very high success rate in waking coma patients, even without the assistance of technological devices," Wan Qinghe said. "Inviting such an expert has cost Old Fei quite a favor."


    "Thank you, Grandfather Fei," Li Yuan expressed his sincere gratitude.


    No matter if the other party was genuinely optimistic about him or had other motives, one should judge by actions, not intentions.


    As long as his uncle could be awakened, Li Yuan would remember it in his heart.


    "Favors are of no particular concern, your uncle is a hero who deserved to be saved," Fei Qian lamented. "Such determination and courage are beyond ordinary people."


    "If everyone had your uncle''s courage and perseverance, the many wars we fight against the Star Realm Creatures would be much easier to win."


    Li Yuan and Wan Qinghe both nodded in agreement.


    This was indeed true.


    "Li Yuan, there''s another matter I need to inform you about, concerning the ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal'' that Lord Yang of the Province promised you," Fei Qian said gravely. "You must do everything in your power to acquire it."


    "Grandfather Fei."


    "What exactly is this Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    Wan Qinghe was curious as well.


    "It''s a very special treasure related to the use of Origin Power," Fei Qian explained. "If you have it, Li Yuan, the success rate of your Law Creation could increase by at least twenty percent."


    Fei Qian had also obtained news about the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal from his visit to the capital, where he specifically inquired about it.


    "Increase by twenty percent?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    According to what President Li had said, with his talent, the normal success rate for Law Creation was forty to fifty percent.


    And this mysterious Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal could increase it by another twenty percent?


    It seemed almost too good to be true.


    "Lord Yang of the Province thinks highly of you, which is why he made such a promise," Fei Qian said with some emotion. "Otherwise, even for Flying Heaven Warriors, it would not be easy to obtain such Heavenly Materials Treasures."


    "To acquire it,"


    "there is just one condition, you must reach the threshold of Fifth Stage Skill by the age of twenty," Fei Qian looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan felt the pressure, Fifth Stage Skill?


    Normally, this was the Skill Realm of Level 29 Prime Warriors.


    What about him? He had just approached the Intermediate Rank of Fourth Level Skill.


    The more he understood the gap between Fourth and Fifth Stages, the clearer Li Yuan became about how difficult this step would be.


    "Take it step by step, the Provincial Hall Master made that promise because he believes you have the potential."


    "Your growth rate has also been accelerating," Fei Qian said with a smile. "Add my private V number, and if you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can directly message me."


    "Thank you, Grandfather Fei," Li Yuan said respectfully, and they added each other on V chat.


    ...


    At dinner, Li Yuan and Song Yi had a very enjoyable conversation. After the feast, Wan Qinghe and Li Yuan returned to Guan Mountain Martial Hall.


    Watching Li Yuan return to his Martial Arts Room, Wan Qinghe also returned to his top-floor office.


    "Old Fei is Old Fei."


    "I thought he might try to close the gap with Li Yuan by sponsoring him," Wan Qinghe sighed inwardly. "I didn''t expect him to invite such a special Level 29 Prime Warrior to save Li Yuan''s uncle."


    "Indeed."


    "Simple money and goods, at Li Yuan''s stage, continuing to give may not necessarily lead to heartfelt gratitude," Wan Qinghe realized. "Being too deliberate in courting favor can easily backfire."


    Many things can''t be resolved with just money.


    It takes heart.


    ...


    The Seven Star Alliance represents the most powerful force of human civilization, overriding nations.


    Its headquarters is located on Feixing, which is also the most powerful among the Seven Great Planets of the Human Race.


    Early in the morning, within the floating giant sky city.


    Gazing downward from the sky city, one could see a towering volcano in the far distance, its peak perennially covered with snow.


    Inside a Martial Arts Room.


    "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Swoosh! Streaks of sword light cut through the Vast Sky, exceedingly sharp.


    "Little sis, you''re up so early for cultivation? It''s just six o''clock," a figure in a black robe entered the Martial Arts Room and stared at Lin Lanyue in surprise.


    "Brother, is six o''clock still considered early?" Lin Lanyue sheathed her sword and looked toward the courtyard entrance.


    "Is six o''clock not early?" The figure in the black robe was taken aback.


    "If practicing at six o''clock is regarded as early, then what about those who start cultivating at four o''clock or even earlier every day?" Lin Lanyue gently shook her head. "Brother, did you need something?"

 Chapter 103: 99: College Entrance Exam in June (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    "Getting up at four in the morning for cultivation without rest?" Big Brother Lin was puzzled, "Even for a Prime Warrior, that''s not possible, is it?"


    "Combining work with rest is the only way to endure in the long run."


    "Unless one reaches the level of a Flying Heaven Warrior, becomes attuned with the heavens and nature, they might be able to rejuvenate at any time. Otherwise, who can push themselves so hard?" Big Brother Lin said earnestly, "Even Dongfang Ji, our senior, only mentioned training for sixteen hours a day."


    Lin Lanyue didn''t say anything.


    In her mind, she involuntarily recalled the scene described to her by Gu Qianghan after returning from Jiangbei Martial University, "Sis, that Li Yuan is simply a madman, a masochist. He practices every night, and then gets up again at four or five in the morning... I really admire him. If he doesn''t succeed, who would?"


    Gu Qianghan''s emphatic words.


    Made the then Lin Lanyue gain a deeper understanding of Li Yuan.


    This was an extremely self-disciplined person with a steadfast goal, one who strove towards it relentlessly.


    "Bro, what exactly is it?" Lin Lanyue asked once more.


    "It''s about Li Yuan," Big Brother Lin said with a smile, "Do you want to know?"


    "Bro, if you''re going to tell me, tell me. If not, don''t delay my cultivation," Lin Lanyue shot him a glance.


    She clearly understood the difference between her eldest brother and her second brother; if the eldest got hold of some news, he''d be too antsy to keep it to himself.


    "Alright, alright, I''m convinced," Big Brother Lin said helplessly, raising his hand to bring up some data on the light screen.


    All of it concerned Li Yuan.


    "First in both subjects? First in Jiang City''s bare Martial Path score?" Lin Lanyue murmured to herself.


    Perfect scores! That was a truly terrifying achievement.


    "Little sis, you don''t seem so surprised," Big Brother Lin said smilingly, "Did you know in advance? Or have you been communicating with Li Yuan?"


    "No, and I wasn''t aware," Lin Lanyue said with a smile, "It''s indeed incredible that he could achieve such results, but when I think about the effort he has put in, it''s not surprising."


    "He has indeed practiced arduously," Big Brother Lin nodded, "Besides his academic results in the April exams, I just got news that he should have broken past 300 points in Fallen Star."


    "Fourth Level Intermediate Rank in skills?" Lin Lanyue finally showed a hint of surprise.


    She was very aware that Li Yuan had just entered the Fourth Level a month ago.


    Has he progressed this fast?


    You should know, because of practicing the Nirvana Divine Scripture, she was able to come to Feixing early for special training. Whether in physical quality or skills, her progress has been much faster.


    But now, her skills were still slightly lacking behind reaching complete perfection of the Third Rank.


    "Fate often favors the more diligent," Lin Lanyue said with a slight smile.


    "Little sis, do you really like him?" Big Brother Lin suddenly asked.


    "Like?"


    Facing her big brother''s question, Lin Lanyue didn''t show any embarrassment, but after thinking for a while, she said, "Perhaps, it''s more that I admire him."


    "That''s fine, you''ve always been decisive, and it''s good as long as you know what you want," Big Brother Lin said with a smile.


    He was an experienced person; by looking at the way Lin Lanyue was, he clearly understood.


    But he didn''t mind.


    It has always been thus, from ancient times until now, that young boys admire and girls cherish spring; it''s better to guide than to suppress feelings.


    "Bro, you better not tell father and mother about this," Lin Lanyue suddenly glared at her big brother.


    "Ha ha, why would I tell them?" Big Brother Lin laughed, "You''re not a child, just be happy."


    Big Brother Lin was very open-minded, although if the family knew, they would definitely have opinions.


    But who was he?


    He was Lin Lanyue''s big brother, after all!


    In his eyes, as long as his sister was not wronged, she could do whatever she wanted.


    Even if the sky were to fall, there were still her two brothers to stand tall for her; besides, he also found Li Yuan to be not bad.


    "However, little sis, I still have to remind you."


    "You mean well, but do you know what Li Yuan thinks? You did quite a lot for him, just saving his uncle, but..." Big Brother Lin couldn''t help but say.


    "Bro,"


    Lin Lanyue cut him off, frowning and saying, "Before I came to Feixing, I told you, what''s done is done, it wasn''t a big deal."


    "I don''t care how he thinks."


    "In the Martial Path, the aim is to have clear thoughts and a heart without regrets." sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whatever I do, I do for myself. Helping him wasn''t to get him to do anything for me," Lin Lanyue said earnestly.


    Deep down, Lin Lanyue was a stubborn person, even carrying a hint of rebelliousness.


    That was related to her living alone in Jiang City from a young age.


    Although she had maids, bodyguards, martial arts teachers, and everything else she needed, she lacked familial warmth.


    "Alright, alright, as long as you are clear in your heart,"


    Big Brother Lin surrendered, "Do you want to take a rest day today?"


    "The ''Fire Bath'' in Nirvana Divine Scripture gets better with each consecutive day of practice," Lin Lanyue shook her head, "I''ve only continued for six days."


    "Let''s get through today first."


    A glint of sympathy flashed through Big Brother Lin''s eyes, but he didn''t try to persuade her further.


    The Fire Bath is indeed a burning in special flames.


    Not many can completely endure such agony.


    But he had to admit, his sister''s willpower was truly exceptional, certainly top-notch for her age.


    "Okay, I''ll take you to Changji Volcano later," Big Brother Lin said.


    Watching her big brother leave,


    "A spiritual marrow cleansing three times a month?" Lin Lanyue murmured to herself, remembering the information about Li Yuan she had seen earlier.


    She knew very well the pain of a spiritual marrow cleansing.


    "Six days?"


    "Let''s see if I can endure ten days. I can''t lose by too much," a flicker of determination shone in Lin Lanyue''s eyes.


    She continued practicing her swordsmanship.


    Every day, she practiced swordsmanship for half the day, then endured a ''Fire Bath'' for half a day to temper her body.


    ...


    On the evening of April 17th, Li Yuan returned home.


    "Bro, come and watch your program."


    "It''s replaying!"


    "Come and watch." Li Qianqian and Li Muhua had already dashed over, both quite excited.


    On the distant sofa, Chen Hui was all smiles.


    "Program?" Li Yuan was initially stunned, instantly realizing they were talking about his interview program.


    It''s already being broadcast?


    Li Yuan, dragged by his brother and sister without even having time to take off his shoes, arrived in the living room.


    On the light screen projection, indeed, Li Yuan''s interview program was being played.


    "''The Impoverished Martial Arts Champion from Jiangbei? Uncovering the Bitter Past Behind a Martial Path Genius''?" Li Yuan repeated the promotional language read by the host for the episode.


    In an instant, Li Yuan wished he could find a hole to crawl into.


    ```


    Which shock department did that come from?


    "Auntie, this is a promotional program from the Martial Hall, the script was prepared in advance," Li Yuan hurriedly explained.


    "I understand."


    "Don''t worry, your aunt studied journalism before," Chen Hui said with a smile: "I get all this stuff about the news."


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, glad that his aunt didn''t overthink it.


    Within the light screen.


    "Since I was young, I''ve aspired to join the Starfire Martial Hall," Li Yuan said seriously: "It''s a Martial Hall founded by Dongfang Ji, and I''ve always admired Dongfang..."


    "I heard that the Starry Sky Martial Hall was the first to invite you, initially offering a D-level contract, right?" the host asked.


    "No!"


    "The Starry Sky Martial Hall was indeed the first to invite me, and they prepared a C-level contract for me," Li Yuan''s face was filled with a young person''s ''sincerity'': "Hall Master Song Yi is a tremendously kind person.


    She spoke to me personally, saying although she didn''t have enough authority, if I were willing to sign, she would definitely help me apply for a B-level contract later on, and was even willing to sponsor me privately."


    "Hall Master Song Yi is a very outstanding, dedicated Hall Master," Li Yuan said earnestly: "It''s not that Starry Sky Martial Hall is bad, but I wanted to join Starfire more..."


    ... "Li Yuan is the most outstanding youth I''ve discovered in recent years. At the time, I didn''t have enough B-level contract slots, so I made a special request to Fei Qian, the City Martial Hall Master. He approved immediately," Wan Qinghe said in an interview within the VCR.


    ...


    "Li Yuan has a strong sense of justice. He''s also the recipient of the Young Hero title," a classmate of Li Yuan''s said during an interview.


    ... In the end.


    "Not being able to invite Li Yuan might be my life''s biggest regret," even Song Yi appeared in the VCR, her face showing loss, but also a hint of pride: "But his growth along the way has proven that my initial judgement was correct; he truly is an uncut gem."


    "If anyone''s to blame, it''s just that this kid, Li Yuan, is too determined. Once he sets a goal, he rarely deviates from it."


    "However, no matter which Martial Hall he joins, he''s a genius of Xia Country," Song Yi said with resounding conviction, elevating the intention of the entire program: "I have great faith in Li Yuan, and I look forward to the day when he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, defending the lands of our Xia Country."


    ...


    Li Yuan watched the program, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly!


    He remembered the dinner party from the night before, where both sides had a great time.


    Wan Qinghe had promised to Song Yi a spotlight.


    "Exchanging a feature for an extra four million," Li Yuan mused to himself: "Can the higher-ups of the Starry Sky Martial Hall really be trusted?"


    But.


    Li Yuan didn''t care too much, as long as the money was in hand.


    ...


    Li Yuan had no idea that the evening''s program was just the beginning. Over the next two days.


    The show continued to ferment, spreading in online forums in various districts of Jiang City, even throughout Jiangbei Province.


    Li Yuan actually showed signs of becoming truly famous.


    "Brother Yuan, 666!"


    "You even got on a show? Brother Yuan, when did you shoot this? You didn''t tell us."


    "Brother Yuan, your social media account followers have exploded, from over a thousand, now it''s soared to over thirty thousand."


    "Over forty thousand!"


    "Fifty thousand, it''s broken fifty thousand," Li Yuan became the talk of the school once again.


    "Brother Yuan, next time you go to the noodle shop by the school gate, the owner will definitely recognize you."


    ...


    Li Yuan didn''t pay too much attention to the program.


    A week later.


    The Starry Sky Martial Hall''s triennial review ended, and Song Yi had passed smoothly. She sent a ''thank you'' emoji to Li Yuan via V-chat.


    Inside Starfire Guanshan Branch''s Martial Arts Room 7024.


    "I hustled her, and she''s still thanking me?" Li Yuan shook his head as he glanced at the bank account figures.


    Bank Balance: 18.79 million Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 4.08 million


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 9.57 million


    "I haven''t really spent any Blue Star Coins. I gave Auntie two million, and here I''ve raked in ten million," Li Yuan thought to himself: "Almost reaching twenty million."


    However, the consumption of Martial Hall Points was massive.


    In just one month, just buying cultivation resources had cost Li Yuan over 2.6 million.


    The main reason was that his body''s evolution required more than what the cultivation plan had estimated.


    To sustain a month, thirty bottles of First Rank Blood Qi Medicine, four Essence Pills of Origin Power, and three portions of Spirit Marrow Cleansing every month, would cost 1.3 million points/Blue Star Coins.


    "Got the second batch."


    "Enough for body evolution needs until mid-May," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Clang~


    Li Yuan opened the door to the ''heat preservation box'' in the physiotherapy room, taking out a bottle of Spirit Marrow Cleansing.


    He gritted his teeth.


    "Damn, here we go again."


    "Is everyone at Kunlun Martial University a freak? All tougher than me?" Li Yuan grumbled to himself: "Makes sense, university students are definitely stronger than high school students."


    High school students always have a bit of admiration for university students.


    After a while.


    "Ah!" From inside the whole-body physiotherapy machine, Li Yuan''s groan, a mix of pain and relief, sounded once more.


    ...


    On April 27th.


    The Prime Warrior, skilled in spiritual secret techniques and invited by Hall Master Fei Qian, arrived in conjunction with the hospital''s top-level ''Consciousness Awakening Device.''


    After an hour''s effort.


    Uncle Li Changzhou finally woke up.


    ...


    On May 10th, Li Changzhou was discharged from the hospital.


    He didn''t return to his previous home but moved directly to the new house in Starfire South Lake Community, where Li Yuan and his family lived.


    ...


    By May 15th, Li Yuan and his family had moved all their belongings into their new home.


    ...


    As time went by day by day, Li Changzhou temporarily stopped working and recuperated at home.


    Auntie went back to her job at the school.


    Following Dongfang Ji''s ''Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement,'' for the recruitment of talents by Martial Arts Universities and Cultural Universities across the Seven Great Planets, a unified format of college entrance exams was adopted.


    So, as time stepped into June.


    In Jiang City and throughout Xia Country, one could even say the whole of Blue Star.


    Almost all countries and all eyes were on the annual college entrance examination.


    This was the test that determined the fate of countless people.


    ```

 Chapter 104: 100: A Promising Future Is a Farewell (Extra for Silver League Song Chuyu)

    As the strongest nation on Blue Star,


    Xia Country''s college entrance exam schedule also aligns with the unified schedule for all nations on Blue Star, which is on June 6, 7, and 8.


    June 4, at Guan Mountain District''s First High School.


    A little after ten in the morning, before the second period began.


    Starting from the afternoon of the 4th, a holiday would commence to allow all students to rest, adjust, and review independently.


    Therefore, this period was also the last class for all high school seniors.


    In Class 2 of the Senior year, the classroom was still noisy and boisterous; aside from a few individuals, most students were chatting with each other, enjoying the last moments of their high school careers.


    By this point, no one was making a last-ditch effort to cram for the exams.


    Everyone had a clear understanding in their hearts.


    In the last two days, all that was required was to maintain the right attitude and briefly review cultural class formulas; the big picture was already set.


    "It''s finally coming. It''s been so hard to endure! At last, it''s at an end," Yan Zhou muttered, "Once I get into university, I''ll relax and have several intense romances to make up for what I missed in high school."


    "You?" Zhou Qi scoffed, "You blush at the sight of girls."


    "What about you?" Yan Zhou retorted, "You talk about Peng Lingling all day. Did you even get a chance with her?"


    "Bullshit, that''s not fawning, that''s respect," Zhou Qi snapped, "Besides, Lingling already agreed to date me after the entrance exam."


    "Oh Zhou, believe me, last time she said she would date you after entering Senior year, but what happened?"


    "This time is for real." The two talked excitedly.


    Deep down, Zhou Qi probably knew that ''Peng Lingling'' had been leading him on all along.


    But then again, wasn''t Zhou Qi enjoying the process as well?


    Li Yuan sat calmly at his desk.


    With his Entry Rank physical quality and powerful hearing, he could easily make out most of the conversations between his classmates.


    Although Li Yuan had spent more time practicing at the Martial Hall since the second semester of high school and his academic performance and Martial Arts Cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds,


    He had gradually become somewhat distanced from his classmates.


    This was something that couldn''t be changed by mere will.


    Almost all students understood that after the entrance exam, Li Yuan was destined to soar high and get admitted into one of the top five prestigious universities.


    Becoming a Prime Warrior in the future would be a modest goal for him.


    Classmates appeared equal on the surface, but it was merely by chance they had shared a classroom for three years.


    Nevertheless, Li Yuan always enjoyed his time in the classroom, especially in cultural studies classes.


    "After entering university, I''ll focus on Martial Path. When my body reaches level 15, I''ll need to venture into the Star Realms to hone my combat skills," Li Yuan silently reflected, "When that time comes, these leisurely days will be gone forever."


    Li Yuan looked out the window at the midsummer sunlight. It was very bright but not dazzling.


    It felt warm on his skin.


    Soon.


    It would be the last class of high school.


    ...


    "Ding ling ling~" A few minutes later, the bell rang, and all the students gradually quieted down, preparing for the teacher''s arrival.


    Suddenly.


    "Bang~" "Thud~" A series of footsteps sounded outside the classroom, indicating the presence of several people. Li Yuan caught it immediately.


    "So many people?" Li Yuan wondered.


    Soon, Li Yuan''s puzzlement was resolved.


    It wasn''t just the cultural studies class teacher ''Teacher Chen'' who came, but all the subject teachers.


    Instantly, the students in the class became excited and began to laugh with joy.


    You should know that yesterday and today, many subject teachers had already had their ''last lesson'' with the students and said their farewells.


    Young people are so easily moved.


    "Students, this is the last class. To speak of knowledge points, actually, there isn''t much left to say. With three years of high school study, I believe everyone is well prepared," Teacher Chen said with a smile, and slowly continued, "For the last class, I and the other subject teachers discussed it."


    "We still felt, we should formally say farewell to the students," said Teacher Chen, her eyes brimming with tears.


    She was very strict, and every student in the class, including Li Yuan, had been criticized by her.


    But at the last class, she became quite emotional.


    "Our teachers in this class are all excellent," Teacher Chen''s voice softened, "Like Teacher Li, who insisted on working until just a few days before giving birth last semester; like Teacher Long, you are his last group of students..."


    As she spoke,


    All the subject teachers looking at the students they had been with day and night for three years, felt somewhat nostalgic.


    And the students sitting in the class, especially many of the girls, began to tear up.


    "Actually, every teacher has a lot they want to say to you all, but we feel that it''s time for goodbyes and there is no need for too many words," Teacher Chen struggled to control her emotions and spoke slowly, "In this final stretch, all we teachers want to do is leave you with a message."


    As she spoke,


    Whoosh~ Teacher Chen tapped her smart ring, and immediately, a lot of text appeared on the blackboard''s screen behind her.


    All the students looked over.


    "Fortunate to have known you all, it has been a privilege. As your teachers, we are limited in our skills, we have shared all we could, but still fall short," Teacher Chen tried her best to manage her emotions and repeated the words on the screen word for word, "May all students have a bright future and may your efforts not be in vain!"


    As the last word was spoken,


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Teacher Chen, along with all the subject teachers, bowed deeply to all the students.


    Finally.


    This scene caused almost everyone to get up from their seats, with many girls unable to hold back their tears.


    "Teacher, you are the best."


    "We will definitely achieve good results and not disappoint you."


    "Teacher," more and more students couldn''t help but exclaim, their voices tinged with sobs or filled with determination.


    Even the rational Li Yuan was slightly affected, feeling a warmth in his eyes.


    It was the purest of emotions, untainted by any interests.


    All the teachers stood up, with several female teachers also having teary eyes but smiling faces.


    Suddenly.


    "Teacher." A voice, slightly choked and clear, rang out, "We''ve also prepared a few words in private, which we''d like to give to you teachers."


    It was Li Shutong, the class valedictorian and class president.


    At that moment,


    Not just the subject teachers, even Teacher Chen showed a hint of surprise on her face.


    "All stand," Li Shutong said with a trembling voice, loud and clear.


    Rustling.


    Immediately, all the students stood up one by one, their lips pursed, eyes earnestly fixed on the figures on the platform.


    The next instant, as if by an unspoken understanding from three years of day-to-day association, no one called out a preparatory command.


    "Teachers above us."


    All the students began to recite in unison: "We students, dull and slow, have been fortunate to receive generous instruction from our teachers. Though mountains high and paths long lie ahead, we shall stride forth and endeavor to repay the peach and plum graces of our mentors."


    ...


    Accompanied by the sound of the end-of-class bell.


    The last lesson for all the senior three students ended with the teachers'' blessings of a ''future as bright as brocade''.


    The high school journey was about to come to an end.


    Many classmates began to make promises to ''apply to the same university,'' ''meet up more often after the college entrance exam,'' ''gather once a year in the future,'' and ''return to school together to visit the teachers.''


    But nearly all the teachers, watching the students they had taught for three years making these solemn promises to each other, understood one thing very well¡ªthe future as bright as brocade meant parting ways.


    High school graduation means many people say goodbye, which could mean never seeing each other again.


    However, no teacher would burst their bubble.


    Because, what good would that do? These students wouldn''t believe it.


    They mostly think, ''with Weixin groups and convenient transportation, meeting up is easy, so why won''t we see each other again?''


    They are in the prime of their youth.


    They should enjoy their youth.


    The greatest regret in life is being unable to possess youth and the full appreciation of it at the same time.


    But likewise, this is precisely what true youth is about; without experiencing it, how can one gain that appreciation?


    It''s like a video game, where the exploration phase is the most enchanting one¡ªyou get to enjoy every bit of growth.


    Once you clear the game, it becomes tasteless.


    ...


    With his backpack slung over his shoulders, Li Yuan left the classroom, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the neighboring class.


    It was the classroom of Class One, Senior Three.


    Scanning the bustling crowd, he didn''t spot the figure he wanted to see in his heart.


    "Brother Yuan, where are you planning to go?" Zhou Qi smiled as he spoke from beside him: "We''re thinking of sitting on the sports field a bit longer before going home."


    "No,"


    "I''m going to the Martial Hall to train," Li Yuan said with a smile: "You guys chat."


    "Alright," Zhou Qi nodded.


    "See you, Brother Yuan."


    "Goodbye, Li Yuan." Many people greeted Li Yuan as they passed, and even students from other classes waved to him.


    Down the stairs.


    As if driven by some inexplicable force, Li Yuan didn''t head directly out of the school gate but instead went to the Elite Building.


    He climbed to the fourth floor and just took a glance.


    Li Yuan then turned around and went downstairs, striding towards the distant office building and arrived on the first floor.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan stood at the door of Xu Bo''s office.


    Xu Bo was standing by the window, lost in thought as he watched a throng of smiling students streaming out in the distance.


    "You''ve come?" Xu Bo turned around to look at Li Yuan, a look of relief spreading across his face.


    They both knew that this chapter of their teacher-student bond was coming to an end.


    Li Yuan was soon to enter a much broader field of development.


    "Do your best on the exam."


    "With your abilities, performing normally is as easy as playing, when it comes to breaking the national line," Xu Bo said with a smile: "I believe in you."


    "Mhm, mhm."


    Li Yuan responded with a smile: "I''ll just do as you''ve always said, treat every test as if it''s the college entrance exam, and then, the college entrance exam will be just another test."


    "Hahaha," Xu Bo laughed proudly. This was the most outstanding disciple he had taught over the years.


    ...


    In the last two days, Li Yuan neither relaxed nor grew tense, as his considerable strength had given him enough confidence.


    He continued to practice regularly, but also didn''t give up on reviewing his academic subjects on the last day.


    Time moved forward to June 6th.


    ...


    The college entrance examination assigned students to random testing centers in various districts.


    Li Yuan was assigned to ''Guan Mountain District High School No. 5.''


    Amidst the citywide processions, traffic police clearing the way, and sounds of gongs and drums, Jiang City''s 2043 college entrance exam officially began.


    Even though Li Yuan said he would take a flying vehicle to the test center and there was no need to worry, sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Uncle Li Changzhou and Auntie Chen Hui still insisted on being there to see him off.


    For them, even though they know Li Yuan has a 99% chance of getting into one of the top five universities,


    And even though they''re aware that Li Yuan has become accomplished, their hearts won''t be at ease until everything is settled.


    "Everyone is going to send off their kids, so we should too," Chen Hui declared.


    Li Yuan laughed, his heart as clear as a mirror.


    To his uncle and aunt, him taking the college entrance exam was like a ''rite of passage to adulthood,'' as well as the most important comfort to his deceased parents.


    How could they not be present at such a moment?


    A day and a half of academic testing.


    A whole day of practical martial arts examinations.


    As each senior student stepped out of the final martial arts testing venue, it ushered in the end of their youth.


    In a certain sense,


    The end of high school signaled the upcoming university era, which symbolizes ''youth'' itself.


    ...


    The college entrance examination was a solemn affair, and thus, the scoring, reviewing, and tallying of results took three days.


    On June 12th, the results came out, also marking the day when various score lines were drawn.


    Twelve years of arduous study culminated on this day as the dust settled.

 Chapter 105: 101: Top 10 in Xia Country Among the 77 in the Province! (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Starfire South Lake Residential Area, Zone One.


    House No. 225.


    As one of the top villa areas in Guan Mountain District, it''s on par with Starry Sky South Lake Residential Area, where each villa occupies a substantial plot.


    That''s where Li Yuan''s new home is located.


    Three floors above ground, with a construction area of over 800 square meters, a garden of more than 500 square meters, and even larger underground space¡­ this is the new home prepared for Li Yuan by Starfire Martial Hall.


    If it were to be put on sale, this villa alone, in its bare-bones state, would cost more than 50 million. Not to mention, the specially reinforced martial arts room underground¡­ the total cost exceeds 80 million Blue Star Coins, and key point, it''s not even eligible for purchase.


    Twenty-year residential rights.


    Today is June 12, the day high school examination results are released. Li Yuan, his uncle Li Changzhou, and his aunt Chen Hui, all stayed in the living room on the first floor, waiting for the results.


    It''s Friday, so Li Qianqian and Li Muhua have already gone to school.


    "Uncle, Aunt, don''t worry,"


    Li Yuan, seeing his uncle and aunt nervous and fidgety, smiled and said, "I will definitely pass."


    After experiencing so much and having absolute confidence in his own abilities, Li Yuan was very composed.


    The national line? Easy to surpass.


    "We know, but¡­" Li Changzhou shook his head.


    The closer it gets to the revelation of the results, the more nervous parents tend to become, because they understand the significance of the college entrance examination.


    During the waiting time, relatives occasionally called to ask about ''Li Yuan''s'' exam results.


    You see, over the past decade, Li Yuan barely made an impression on the relatives around him.


    These years, not many have come to visit.


    For one thing, relatives are aware of the situation of Li Yuan''s uncle and aunt. The medical expenses for Li Yuan when he was a child were staggering, and with such a heavy burden, these relatives all feared being asked to lend money.


    Secondly, Li Yuan''s father and Li Changzhou were the only two siblings, and aunt Chen Hui was an only child, so most of the so-called relatives were cousins or distant kin.


    With one generation close, the next generation becomes cousins, and by Li Yuan''s generation, these familial ties were already quite distant.


    But most of these relatives were from Jiang City.


    Thus, starting in April, after the broadcast of the program Li Yuan was on, and its spread throughout Jiang City and even Jiangbei Province, the number of ''relatives'' who cared about Li Yuan slowly increased.


    "Hey, cousin! Li Yuan''s results aren''t out yet; let''s talk later¡­" Chen Hui answered nonchalantly.


    Of course.


    There were also some calls from those who had truly cared and helped Li Yuan''s family through the years, like Zhong Cheng and Uncle Wang.


    Finally, it reached nine o''clock.


    "Li Yuan, you can check the results now," said aunt Chen Hui, approaching with a nervous smile, trying not to seem too eager.


    Li Changzhou also looked over, but didn''t speak.


    As the head of the family, the uncle always managed to stay calm.


    "Okay." Li Yuan smiled, tapped on the smart ring watch, a screen popped up, and he directly entered the score checking page.


    Li Yuan was well prepared.


    "Beep¡ª" The page even paused momentarily, an almost unbelievable occurrence with today''s communication efficiency¡­ but it was just a brief hiccup.


    At this moment, it wasn''t just the people of Xia Country but those from all nations of Blue Star checking their high school examination scores.


    Swish!


    The score page popped up, with Li Yuan finding two more heads peeking from either side, all staring at the score displayed:


    Name: Li Yuan


    Major: Martial Path


    ID number: 420111202508298013


    Examination number: XXXX


    Physique: 500


    Technique: 400


    Culture: 86


    Bonus points: 20


    Total score: 1006


    National line: 941


    Provincial line: 772


    Provincial ranking: 77


    ...


    Upon seeing the total score of 1006 and the provincial ranking of 77.


    Aunt Chen Hui finally let go of a burden that felt like a thousand kilos, her excited smile breaking out, even accompanied by tears of joy.


    Her decade-long worry.


    At this moment, it was completely released.


    Chen Hui felt that all her efforts over the past decade were truly worth it.


    "Great! Great!" Li Changzhou also laughed, reaching out to embrace his wife.


    He knew of the hardships Chen Hui had endured over the past decade, with anxiety, struggling, and enduring so much, often alone at home caring for three children.


    Now, it was finally time for the bitter to turn sweet.


    "Uncle, Aunt, you can relax now," Li Yuan said with a smile, very satisfied with his score.


    He still scored full marks in the Martial Arts section. With his spiritual power getting stronger and learning capacity improving, Li Yuan''s cultural score also reached a new high in the college entrance examination.


    However, limited by the bonus points, his total score was doomed to fall short of many others.


    So, Li Yuan was very satisfied with the ''77th'' provincial ranking.


    On this side.


    Aunt, having regained her composure, started ringing back the relatives one by one: "Hello, cousin! Let me tell you, the results have just come out. Li Yuan only scored 1006, barely over the national line for martial arts by 60 points. He didn''t perform well¡­"


    Li Yuan and Li Changzhou exchanged a glance and both smiled.


    Today, for Chen Hui, Li Yuan''s results were like a ''work summary'' of her more than ten years, her most glorious moment.


    No amount of bragging would be too much.


    "You should quickly give a V-call to those seniors and teachers of yours to report your score," Li Changzhou reminded, "The sooner, the better, to show your respect."


    "Especially the teachers from Kunlun Martial University, give them peace of mind," said Li Changzhou.


    "Okay." Li Yuan immediately made a series of V-calls.


    Xu Bo, Teacher Chen, Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, the military base''s senior Ji, Fan Jin, President Li... This too was a summary of Li Yuan''s achievements.


    For Li Yuan, who had already signed with Kunlun Martial University.


    This result was a near-perfect report card.


    "Yes, President Li... Oh, the admissions notice will be issued in five days, with registration on the 28th of June, and classes starting on July 3rd?" Li Yuan spoke with President Li on the call.


    After all the calls were done, it was already after ten o''clock.


    Aunt Chen Hui, after having bragged for a while, had already moved into the kitchen to get busy.


    She wanted to cook some dishes to celebrate the occasion.


    Li Yuan and uncle Li Changzhou stepped out into the yard together, basking in the midsummer sunlight.


    "Li Yuan, we owe you a lot for this time," Li Changzhou said softly. "If it wasn''t for you, I definitely wouldn''t have been able to come back."


    "Uncle, don''t say that," Li Yuan shook his head. "Our family should be well, and now everything is fine."


    Li Changzhou smiled, refrained from any rebuttals, knowing Li Yuan''s character.


    "When do you plan to report to Kunlun Martial University?" Li Changzhou asked.


    "7.2," Li Yuan had already decided.


    "That late?" Li Changzhou was somewhat surprised, having just overheard the conversation between Li Yuan and President Li.


    "I wanted to spend a few more days at home, to keep you and Auntie company," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Kunlun Martial University has only a half-month vacation every six months. Once I go to university, it will be difficult to come home."


    "It won''t delay your training, will it?" Li Changzhou frowned.


    "Not at all. The martial arts room at home is sufficient for my training, and there is no shortage of cultivation resources," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Changzhou''s brows relaxed, "In that case, it''s settled. You make your own decisions regarding the martial path. I''ve got some free time too, so let''s have a good chat, just the two of us."


    In truth, Li Changzhou hoped that Li Yuan could relax for a few days.


    During the time at home, he had watched Li Yuan''s cultivation and had come to an updated understanding.


    He felt Li Yuan was pushing himself too hard. His fanatical dedication to cultivation made even him feel queasy.


    Too much is as bad as too little.


    "By the way, Uncle," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I just bought a fishing rod yesterday. Starting tomorrow, I''ll accompany you to the community fish pond for fishing."


    "Sounds good," Li Changzhou''s interest was piqued.


    With work keeping him busy all year round, it had been a long time since he had indulged in this hobby.


    Li Yuan watched his uncle''s smile and looked over at his aunt cooking in the kitchen in the distance.


    He couldn''t help but smile as well.


    After so many years of hard training, wasn''t this scene right before him what he had been striving for?


    What needed to be done next was to become even stronger, to protect this happiness.


    Basking in the sun, looking at the lawn, Li Yuan''s mind drifted back to his childhood, when he often used to say, "Uncle, take me out to play, will you?"


    In middle school, it turned into "See you tonight, Uncle and Auntie."


    Now, it was finally about to become "Uncle and Auntie, I''ll be back at the end of the year."


    "People often say that once most finish high school, they''ve already spent 90% of the time they''ll ever spend with their parents," Li Yuan thought to himself. "In June, I''ll spend more time with Uncle and Auntie."


    That night.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua came home, excited and thrilled upon hearing about Li Yuan''s college entrance exam scores.


    The whole family was celebrating.


    At 8 o''clock in the evening, under the watchful eyes of his family, Li Yuan used the newly launched ''Volunteer Reporting System'' to fill in his choices.


    For his first preference, he filled in Kunlun Martial University.


    ...


    Late at night, after his uncle and auntie had gone to bed.


    Villa 225, the basement.


    This was actually a martial arts room that covered nearly a thousand square meters and had a ceiling over six meters high.


    "Hoo!"


    As usual, Li Yuan was practicing the Stellar Spear Technique for nearly two hours before he finally stopped to rest.


    Li Yuan''s eyes glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 10.6 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 1623 kilograms


    Speed: 23.8 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 17.5


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (Current Max 20£¥)


    Physical Body Cultivation Method: "Solid Rock Cultivation Method"


    Mental Cultivation Method: "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture"


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 34%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 26%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 36%)


    ..."From April until now, thanks to the new cultivation plan, my physical quality has not slowed down in its improvement," Li Yuan thought to himself. "However, the gap in physical quality grows more astonishing the further you advance."


    For example, at level 11, the standard fist strength is 1800 kilograms.


    At level 12, it''s 3000 kilograms.


    At level 13, the standard fist strength reaches a terrifying 5000 kilograms.


    When it comes to Life Level advancements, the speed of elevation is going to slow down more and more, which is unavoidable.


    "I''ll start school in July."


    "At the end of July, there''s a combat assessment," Li Yuan sighed inwardly. "I hope to reach a 20% Spiritual Awakening Level by then, to see if I can undergo another infusion of Origin Power."


    If he could experience it again,


    it would greatly enhance Li Yuan''s physical quality and spiritual power once more.


    "On the other hand,"


    "Advancing in the Fourth Level of skills is indeed harder the further you progress," Li Yuan glanced over his Spear Technique and Fist Technique.


    Nearly two months had passed, and his progress was actually quite significant.


    But if the rate of progress continued like this, the hope of reaching the Bright Moon Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18 was virtually zero.


    "I''ll give it my all."


    Li Yuan was at peace with himself and resumed practicing the Basic Cultivation Method.


    ...


    At 9 o''clock in the evening, thousands of miles away from Jiangbei Province, at Kunlun Martial University.


    Light spilled from an academic building, glowing brilliantly in the night.


    In one of the meeting rooms, where there was a constant flow of people,


    "What''s the situation with admissions? Are the results out yet?" President Li asked in a deep voice.


    "We are still continuously contacting and doing our best to persuade more students to choose our Kunlun Martial University," the teacher whispered. "For the top 50 in each province, our recruitment teams have already set off to invite them one by one."


    "Tomorrow, we should be able to gather the results."


    "Hmm."


    President Li nodded and then inquired, "What about the students on the early contract signing list? Give me their scores."


    "Yes." The teacher was already prepared, promptly taking out a list and handing it to President Li.


    President Li looked down and saw that the first name on the list was Li Yuan.


    "Why is Li Yuan first?" President Li couldn''t help but say, "I remember his ranking in the province was just over seventy."


    "That''s changed."


    "This year, Principal Fang''s order was to rank everything after admission based on actual scores," the recruitment teacher explained. "This Li Yuan, our admissions office has also taken notice of him."


    "His total score ranks 77th in Jiangbei Province, nothing eye-catching, and is expected to be around 350th among all students after enrollment."


    "That is, if we include the spiritual bonus points and other adjustments."


    "If we don''t count those bonus points,"


    "With a full score in Martial Path, Li Yuan is the number one in bare martial scores in Jiangbei Province," said the admissions teacher. "Moreover, he ranks tenth nationwide."


    "Number one in Jiangbei? Top ten in the whole country?" President Li didn''t know whether to be happy or annoyed.


    He was certain,


    that Li Yuan''s profile was now laid out on the desks of all institute heads in Kunlun Martial University''s eight institutes. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His plan to secretly recruit Li Yuan into the Sixth Institute just got harder.


    "Principal Fang, really has nothing better to do," President Li grumbled to himself.

    Students ranked within the top 50 or even top 100 in the entire province


    would be fiercely competed over by the recruitment teams of the five prestigious schools.


    After all, if a Martial Arts University wanted to remain prosperous, the first requirement was to continuously receive funding, and the second was to keep producing a large number of Prime Warriors and even Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Powerful martial artists often give back to their alma mater, whether by directly donating money or providing care within their scope of authority.


    Alumni form a circle... but no university came to find Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan''s reputation as a martial arts prodigy had long spread throughout Jiangbei, and as the actual top scorer in Jiangbei Province''s Martial Path total score, all the major school recruitment teams knew about him.


    However, the fact that he had been signed by Kunlun Martial University with an S-level contract was also well-known.


    An S-level contract?


    Moreover, to persuade Li Yuan to break his contract and offer a better one, the overall cost was too great, so the other prestigious schools had all chosen to give up. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ... June 17th, in the afternoon, at the residential community''s fishing spot.


    "Uncle, why have I been so unlucky today?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask while sitting on the stool.


    "Your beginner''s protection period is over," Li Changzhou said with a grin: "Didn''t you see how many you caught the past two days? You caught twice as many as me."


    "It''s good that you didn''t catch any today, or else your aunt would keep saying we have too much to eat."


    "It''s obviously because of my superior skills..." Li Yuan was about to retort when he suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate. Looking down, his eyes lit up.


    "Uncle, my admission notice is here," Li Yuan said, raising his hand.


    "Oh? Let me see," Li Changzhou stood up immediately.


    Suddenly.


    "Uncle, quick, the float!" Li Yuan hurriedly pointed into the distance where the float had completely sunk into the water.


    "It''s a big one! Double happiness," Li Changzhou hastily bent down to grab the fishing rod.


    ... After putting the fish in the box, Li Changzhou sat down and looked at the admission notice document that Li Yuan had sent over, his mouth couldn''t stop curling upwards.


    "Uncle, which institute do you think I should choose?" Li Yuan asked offhandedly: "The Sixth Institute or the Eighth Institute?"


    The Sixth Institute was where President Li resided.


    The Eighth Institute was where President Zhao resided, who was the one who had originally recommended him to Kunlun Martial University. This President Zhao was also Wan Qinghe''s elder martial brother.


    Therefore, in Li Yuan''s heart, after entering Kunlun Martial University, it would definitely be a choice between the two.


    "I recommend the Sixth Institute," Li Changzhou said: "There are circles among martial artists too, which university you come from is a large circle, which institute you attend is a small circle, and after graduation, which Martial Hall you join or whether you enter the military or large corporate groups form new circles."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    A hero supported by three gangs, a martial artist with a broad network can also smooth the path of Martial Path.


    Li Yuan had no intention of being a loner.


    "Different circles may intersect with each other," Li Changzhou said: "President Zhao of the Eighth Institute seems closer to you in terms of relationships, since he was the first to recommend you."


    "But has he sought you out these past few months?" Li Changzhou asked with a half-smile: "Given you any guidance?"


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    "He definitely knows about your situation and was the first to make the connection, yet he hasn''t sought you out, which indicates that he doesn''t really care about you," Li Changzhou said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. The other party was a level-29 Prime Warrior, with astounding strength.


    Not seeking him out didn''t necessarily mean he looked down on him.


    It could be his personality, or perhaps he wasn''t too concerned about mentoring juniors.


    "On the contrary, President Li has always cared about you," Li Changzhou said: "Before the college entrance exam, he even made a special call to you."


    "Originally, it was also he who offered you the S-level contract."


    "In a sense, if you enter Kunlun Martial University, he will be akin to your seat-teacher," Li Changzhou said: "That''s a very rare relationship."


    Li Yuan understood his uncle''s meaning.


    It''s better to stick with the familiar than to enter a circle that''s unfamiliar and likely doesn''t value you.


    "President Li is quite a good person," Li Yuan nodded: "Uncle, should I give President Li a V-call first?"


    "Yes, you should!"


    "However, it seems you can apply and fill out your ''target institute'' directly on your enrollment notice," Li Changzhou said: "First fill in the Sixth Institute, then give him a V-call, he will be even happier."


    "Alright."


    ...


    After Li Yuan finished filling out the ''admission notice response'', he filled in his personal information and his wish to join the Sixth Institute.


    He then directly made a V-call to President Li.


    Just as Li Changzhou had expected.


    "President Li," Li Yuan said directly: "I''ve received the admission notice and filled out the receipt... I''ve filled in the Sixth Institute."


    "Do you think it''s appropriate?"


    "Not considering the Eighth Institute?" President Li said with a smile on the screen, aware of Li Yuan''s relationship with President Zhao.


    "The Eighth Institute is very good, but these past few months, you and Teacher Fan Jin have given me a lot of guidance. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have made such progress," Li Yuan spoke sincerely: "I believe that cultivating under your guidance is the best choice for me."


    "Haha, good!" President Li''s voice contained a laugh: "Rest assured, your choice won''t be wrong. I will arrange everything so that you can become a Prime Warrior in the quickest time possible over the next two years."


    Li Yuan could tell that President Li was very satisfied with his decision.


    "For this half-month break, you can relax a bit," President Li said: "But don''t completely fall behind on your cultivation, I''ll expedite your institute admittance checks."


    "Soon, you will be able to enter ''Kunlun Space'', and the resources from the S-level special training contract will be provided to you," President Li instructed.


    "Understood."


    "I won''t disappoint you, President," Li Yuan said: "At the end-of-July Combat Assessment, I will definitely bring honor to our Sixth Institute."


    "Well then, I''ll be looking forward to it," President Li listened as Li Yuan said ''our Sixth Institute'' and found it quite heartening.


    ...


    That evening.


    "You''ve already chosen the Sixth Institute?" Wan Qinghe and Li Yuan were communicating through a V-call: "Not considering the Eighth Institute?"


    "Uncle, I am very grateful to President Zhao," Li Yuan seemed somewhat embarrassed: "But President Li has been guiding my cultivation all along. He asked about my intentions, and it was hard to say no, so I applied for the Sixth Institute."


    ```

 Chapter 107: 102 New Journey (Request Monthly Pass)_2

    "I have always remembered President Zhao''s kindness; although we belong to different institutes, I am still a part of Kunlun Martial University. When I get to the school, I will definitely pay him a visit,"


    "Haha, alright," Wan Qinghe chuckled. "Don''t worry, I will explain everything to President Zhao; he won''t blame you."


    Wan Qinghe knew how to dispel any dissatisfaction that his ''Ninth Senior Brother'' might have towards Li Yuan.


    ... "Ninth Senior Brother."


    "Li Yuan said he volunteered to join the Sixth Institute, but I feel his words were hesitant, as if there might be something else going on," Wan Qinghe sighed: "Before, Li Yuan often mentioned he was grateful to you, and he said many times that he would pay a visit to you once he was enrolled at Kunlun Martial University."


    "You also know that."


    "No matter how talented he is, he''s still just a teenager, how can he withstand so much pressure?" Wan Qinghe sighed: "If anyone is to blame, it''s me. I should have clarified things with him sooner; he doesn''t know your attitude."


    "This matter, it''s my fault," Wan Qinghe said with a look of regret.


    "I understand."


    "It''s not related to you and even less Li Yuan''s fault," the figure of President Zhao appeared on the light screen, imposing and slightly angry: "It must be Li Yang who''s behind this."


    President Li''s real name was Li Yang.


    "What about Li Yuan?" Wan Qinghe asked at the right moment.


    "Let him focus on his cultivation, tell him that it''s all the same whether he is in the Sixth Institute or Eighth Institute," President Zhao said: "When he arrives at Kunlun Martial University, if he has time, he can also attend my lectures."


    "Brother, your magnanimity exceeds that of President Li by far, as you don''t fixate on institute affiliations," Wan Qinghe praised.


    ...


    In Martial Arts Universities, each province had only one.


    The top elite schools in the country numbered only five, thus the national and provincial cutoffs were very clear.


    For the Martial Path, the top 10,600 were the provincial cutoff.


    The top 520 were the national cutoff.


    It had always been this way.


    Cultural universities, on the other hand, had much more complex admissions processes.


    Therefore, until June 20th, the admissions for all universities in Xia Country were only concluded.


    On June 22nd, Class 3 (2) held a graduation dinner, but less than sixty students were able to attend.


    "The day we checked the results, I cried, and my mom hugged me and we cried together; high school was finally over,"


    "I cried too, but it was from getting a beating from my parents,"


    "Brother Yuan is amazing."


    "Kunlun Martial Arts University, and he was even selected for the special training program! Way too awesome."


    "Brother Yuan, I toast to you."


    "Brother Yuan." Li Yuan was almost the center of attention among his classmates.


    This group of students who had just graduated from high school was awkwardly learning the etiquette of adult social interaction.


    "Li Yuan, thank you," Li Tianyou poured a glass of beer.


    His eyes slightly red, he said earnestly to Li Yuan, "If it weren''t for you, I might not have been able to make it in the end."


    Li Tianyou had narrowly made it into Jiangbei Martial Arts University, ranking just over 9900 in the province''s Martial Path.


    "It has nothing to do with me,"


    "This is all the result of your own efforts," Li Yuan said with a smile, trying to ease the other''s emotions.


    "Don''t worry, I will find a way to pay you back the money I owe as soon as possible," Li Tianyou said in a low voice.


    "Alright, I trust your character," Li Yuan said with a smile: "But there is no hurry, once you are in university, cultivation should still take priority."


    Li Yuan never said ''the money is a gift to you.''


    Li Yuan understood that insisting on repaying the money was an act of dignity that Li Tianyou was making every effort to maintain.


    Why trample on it?


    "Brother Yuan, let me drink another with you," Zhou Qi came over with his glass.


    This time in the college entrance examination, his performance was not bad; he got into a C9 university.


    Time passed, and many students gradually became tipsy.


    Li Yuan was very sober, looking at many classmates who, just half a month ago seemed so familiar, now already appeared somewhat strangers.


    He understood that aside from a few good friends like Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou, he might never see many of these classmates again.


    His adolescent years were completely over.


    Without a sound, Li Yuan settled the bill and left.


    ...


    June, not too hot yet.


    After the class reunion.


    During the subsequent vacation days, Li Yuan often spent his days accompanying his uncle fishing, helping his aunt plant flowers, and going shopping for clothes with them at the mall.


    On weekends, the family of five would even go for outings to Beihu Moshan together.


    Since junior high, Li Yuan had never felt as relaxed as he did this June.


    In the evenings, he would focus solely on the Martial Path training.


    "After the college entrance exams ended, I''ve been practicing the spear, and spent less time on the Martial Path," Li Yuan realized.


    "But why has my Spear Technique improved even faster?" Li Yuan wondered about this.


    This phenomenon made him reflect.


    "Efficiency."


    "For success in any endeavor, the energy and time invested are very important," Li Yuan thought to himself, "just as the ten-thousand-hour rule makes sense in any ordinary profession."


    "However,"


    "once a certain level of proficiency is reached in something, blindly accumulating time may not be the best approach."


    "These days, with a more relaxed state of mind, the free time during the day allowed me to think more, to see more of the world."


    "These changes, the relaxation of the spirit,"


    "actually made my practice of the Spear Technique more efficient, with fewer distractions, and even my spirit seemed purer, more peaceful," Li Yuan came to understand.


    Practice, like life itself, sometimes the more you crave, the less you receive.


    A moment of inspiration can be worth years of practice, but such inspiration cannot be gained solely through ''internal strife''.


    "The cultivation of the spirit!"


    "In the past, I''ve been blindly chasing time, longing for greater efficiency," Li Yuan suddenly smiled, "Just like uncle said, being too tense for too long, one must loosen up from time to time."


    And so,


    Li Yuan began to ''enjoy'' spending time with his aunt and uncle even more.


    June 29th, past ten in the evening.


    "Clang! Clang!" Li Yuan was practicing with the long spear, swinging it to create dazzling arcs of light and aftershadows.


    Gradually,


    Li Yuan practiced with increasing ease, fully immersing himself in the spear technique, truly enjoying it.


    "Bang~ Bang~" The heavy punching bag was continuously hammered with strikes.


    "So comfortable," the images in Li Yuan''s mind whirred rapidly, scenes flashing by, making the heavy punching bag in front of him seem like a formidable opponent.


    His spear technique became faster,


    and steadier; each explosive hit became almost instinctive.


    All of a sudden, at one moment,


    "Whoosh!" Li Yuan''s mind and heart aligned, and with a fierce thrust of his long spear, his speed surged dramatically, the tip of the spear moving almost inconceivably fast.


    It tore through the air with a roar.


    "Bang~" The incredibly tough punching bag was unexpectedly burst open by the blunt-tip long spear.


    Innumerable special sands inside scattered wildly, raining down chaos.


    [Your Spear Technique Realm has progressed from Fourth Level 36% to Fourth Level 42%]


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has progressed from Fourth Level 39% to Fourth Level 44%] Two notifications from the Divine Palace scrolled by.


    Li Yuan stood still, letting the sand fall and bury up to his ankles.


    "The third form of the Stellar Spear Technique, ''Dawn Piercing the Clouds'', I can finally execute it fully," Li Yuan silently recited in his mind.


    Before long,


    Li Yuan phoned the staff responsible at the Martial Hall.


    People came to replace the punching bag and clean up everything.


    ...


    The leisurely vacation had to come to an end at last.


    July 2nd was the last day to report to Kunlun Martial University, and it was also the day Li Yuan would leave home.


    "Xiaoyuan, when you get to the university, cultivate well and don''t worry about home," Li Changzhou advised, "I''ll take care of things here."


    "Call home when you get to school," the aunt''s primary concern was always Li Yuan''s safety, even though Li Yuan was already an Entry Rank Martial Artist.


    "Mmm, okay, I know."


    "Uncle, Auntie, it''s windy, go back inside," Li Yuan, with his backpack on, waved with a smile.


    A small flying vehicle hung motionless in the air.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan leaped more than two meters high, catapulting straight into the cabin as the door closed.


    The flying vehicle quickly ascended, heading towards Tianhe Airport to catch a connecting flight.


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui stood outside their villa, continuously waving goodbye, watching the flying vehicle disappear into the misty rain. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan!


    Officially embarked on his university journey.

 Chapter 108: 103 Kunlun Martial University, New Senior Brother (Extra for 18000 Monthly Votes)

    Sitting in the short-range flyer prepared by Martial Hall, he hurried to the airport.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan noticed a vibration on his smart ring and looked down, his eyes moving slightly.


    It was a message from Lin Lanyue.


    Since the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University, they had not seen each other again.


    Before and after the college entrance examination, Li Yuan had intended to meet Lin Lanyue to thank her in person.


    However, she had not returned to Guan Mountain District''s No.1 High School. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had asked Gu Qiang about it.


    He confirmed only one thing: Lin Lanyue indeed returned to take the college entrance exam, but her exam site was at Guan Mountain District No.2 High School.


    And she had not returned to her home in ''Starry Sky South Lake Community''.


    Where does she live now? Gu Qiang also didn''t know.


    V-chat? Li Yuan had tried several times to send messages to Lin Lanyue, but they all sank like stones in the sea.


    It was as if she was deliberately avoiding him.


    Li Yuan hadn''t expected that, just as he was about to set off for Kunlun Martial University,


    Lin Lanyue sent a message.


    The content of the message wasn''t long.


    "Li Yuan, I''ve seen your messages. Last time, I just happened to hear from Teacher Xu Bo and then my elder brother was passing through Jiang City, coincidentally having the Yan Tong Spiritual Spring. You don''t have to take it too much to heart. Also, congratulations on getting into Kunlun Martial University, the best martial arts university in Xia Country.


    I believe you can become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future. Keep it up!"


    Li Yuan stared at the content on the screen, lost in thought for a while.


    Coincidence?


    Was it really a coincidence, or was it an excuse Lin Lanyue found so he wouldn''t feel too burdened?


    After pondering for a while.


    Li Yuan replied to the message, "Regardless, thank you. If there''s anything I can help with in the future, make sure you find me. I also wish you smooth sailing at Starry Sky University."


    Perhaps it was because they hadn''t seen each other for a long time.


    Or perhaps after the incident with Li Changzhou, Li Yuan realized the huge gap between them.


    The words he spoke were becoming somewhat formulaic.


    Lin Lanyue''s score on the college entrance exam for martial arts was first in Guan Mountain District, second in Jiang City, and third in Jiangbei Province.


    The martial arts top scorers of Jiangbei Province were Wu Dongdong first, Wang Yu second, and Lin Lanyue third.


    Lin Lanyue, was smoothly admitted to Starry Sky University.


    She was also the only student from Guan Mountain District who was admitted to one of the top three global prestigious schools.


    Some time passed again.


    "Alright, we may meet again if it''s meant to be." Lin Lanyue sent another message.


    Li Yuan stared at the screen, silent for a long time, and with a light sigh, he did not send another message in the end.


    He turned off his smart ring.


    Closed his eyes to rest.


    Not long after.


    "Li Yuan, we''ve arrived at the airport," a deep voice rang out. "Enter the terminal building, and you can check in and board the plane."


    Clang¡ªthe cabin door opened.


    "Instructor Xing, thank you." Li Yuan opened his eyes, and the man sitting in front of him was indeed Instructor Xing.


    "Do we still talk like this among us? Just go train well at Kunlun Martial University. I look forward to Guan Mountain District producing a Flying Heaven Warrior," Instructor Xing laughed. "Don''t worry about home; I''ll arrange for Martial Hall people to keep an eye on it."


    "If there''s any major issue, I''ll also report it to the Hall Master."


    "Alright, trouble you," Li Yuan nodded.


    During the months he lived in the Starfire South Lake Community, Li Yuan also got to know many Martial Hall warriors.


    People like Instructor Xing, Fang Longhu, who lived in the Third District and had a great relationship with Li Yuan, could be entrusted.


    Secondly, Li Changzhou''s character and ability were something Li Yuan greatly admired.


    In addition, as Li Yuan had left behind two million Blue Star Coins, he wasn''t too worried about his family.


    Half an hour later.


    A large flyer took off from Tianhe Airport and flew towards Longxi Province.


    ¡­


    In the central villa of Starry Sky South Lake Community.


    In the living room on the first floor.


    "Little sister, it''s just two kilometers away, why not see him?" the young man in blue laughed.


    "It''s not necessary," said the girl sitting on the sofa, shaking her head gently. "I understand him; he''s a person with great pride in his heart."


    "At this moment, he must feel like he owes me a big favor that he can''t repay... if we met, what else would we talk about?"


    "Awkward small talk?"


    "Or watch him clumsily say ''thank you'' to me?" Lin Lanyue looked at the young man in blue.


    The young man in blue was speechless.


    "Let''s wait."


    "I believe there will come a day when we meet again," Lin Lanyue stood up, her delicate face filled with calm, "By then, I believe he can face me with composure."


    "Aren''t you afraid it''s a wait in vain?" the young man in blue looked at his little sister. "Aren''t you afraid he might fall for someone else?"


    He felt that in the past six months, his little sister had undergone many changes.


    Gradually shedding her immaturity, she had become steadier, more resolute, and firm.


    She was truly starting to grow up.


    Beyond these changes, there was also a hint of a love that had not yet fully blossomed.


    The girl was silent for a long time before finally saying softly, "I trust my judgment."


    "If I''m wrong, then I''ll accept the consequences of the mistake," Lin Lanyue smiled. "Second brother, let''s go."


    "From Jiangbei Province to Lantis Continent, it''s over thirty thousand kilometers."


    "Today is the last day for registration, don''t be late."


    ¡­


    Catching a large flyer to Longxi Province, then a smaller flyer for a connecting flight,


    At three in the afternoon, Li Yuan finally arrived at Kunlun Martial University.


    "Kunlun Martial University." Li Yuan sat in a window seat of the flyer, able to see far into the distance,


    He already caught sight of it.


    On the endless expanse of land below, there were numerous villas, buildings, airports... The most eye-catching was a sci-fi-like, immense war fortress.


    This was Kunlun Martial University. The overall layout and structure were actually similar to Jiangbei Martial University, though even smaller in scale.


    After all, Jiangbei Martial University had forty to fifty thousand students, while Kunlun Martial University only had about ten thousand students year-round.


    But!


    That war fortress was towering, far surpassing the one at Jiangbei Martial University.


    "Kunlun Fortress." Li Yuan murmured to himself, conjuring up the name of the fortress.


    This fortress was one of the top ten ranked war fortresses on the vast land in the northwest of Xia Country.


    Its height nearly reached nine hundred meters, covering an area of nearly twenty square kilometers¡ªan absolute behemoth.


    The other nine? Mostly located around the Robe Lake Star Realm.


    The flyer approached rapidly.


    "Just as I thought!"


    "Apart from the teaching buildings, they are all villas." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "According to the enrollment introduction, every student gets a detached villa, equipped with a flying vehicle and a housekeeper... It allows every student to devote themselves entirely to cultivation."


    In Jiangbei Martial University, only the top 5% of students can enjoy such treatment.


    But in Kunlun Martial University, everyone does, or even more so.


    Li Yuan''s gaze rose, and in the distance, he could see a huge mountain range that undulated like a dragon stretching across the land.


    It was Xia Country''s first mountain range¡ªMount Kunlun.


    "The ancestor of all mountains, Kunlun," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "The name of Kunlun University does have a deeper meaning."


    ...


    "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several students on the flying vehicle got off one after another, following Li Yuan.


    Today was the last day for registration.


    Since it was already afternoon, almost all students had completed their registration.


    Therefore, under the terminal building in the distance, the banner that read ''Welcome new students'' had fallen down halfway, and no one had bothered to fix it.


    "Li Yuan, over here, hurry up!" a handsome young man called out loudly from a distance.


    Next to him stood another youth with a robust physique, and behind them gathered more people.


    Seeing the two, Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile and quickly walked over, "Gu Qiang, Hai Feng, long time no see."


    Stepping forward, he greeted them with the habitual form of salutation among boys¡ªa punch to the chest.


    Indeed!


    Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng, they had both successfully been admitted to Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    Along with Li Yuan, the three of them were the only students from the number one high school in Guan Mountain District to be admitted into any of the five famous schools.


    Having been admitted to the same university from the same high school, their relationships were naturally closer, and they had been in touch early on.


    Before departure,


    Li Yuan had sent messages to Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng, informing them about his approximate time of arrival.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan," Behind the two, stood thirty or forty people who all greeted Li Yuan one after another.


    "Are you all from Jiang City?" Li Yuan hesitated a bit, noticing many familiar faces.


    "Yes."


    "Li Yuan, we all participated in the invitation event of Jiangbei Martial University together. You might not remember us very well, but we all remember you," a tall, skinny boy said with a smile, "I''m An Nong."


    "Li Yuan, my name is Tong Zhi."


    "My name is..." dozens of people quickly introduced themselves.


    "Oh, I actually do remember a bit," Li Yuan smiled.


    Seeing a big group of fellow townspeople and old friends,


    the strangeness of being far from home was immediately dispersed by quite a lot.


    "What are you all doing here?" Li Yuan hesitated. It was one thing for Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng to come to pick him up.


    The others? They seemed familiar, but surely they were not that close yet.


    "What else? We are waiting for you, the great ''senior brother'' of the new students from the Sixth Institute," Gu Qianghan glared, "Being the senior brother of new students of the Sixth Institute, and you''re the last to come? You have no sense of responsibility."


    "Senior brother of new students?" Li Yuan was confused.


    He had just arrived.


    How had he suddenly become the senior brother of new students?


    "Stop talking, we have to finalize the ranking by eight o''clock; our institute is currently sixth," Gu Qianghan called him over, "Get on the flying vehicle. I''ll explain everything on the way."


    "Have you completed all the entrance procedures in the Kunlun Space already?"


    "Yes, room 61032," Li Yuan said.


    The sequence number meant villa number 1032 of the Sixth Institute.


    "Next to mine, I''m in 61031," Gu Qianghan smiled, "Once things are settled, you need to boost our Sixth Institute''s ranking."


    "To the Xuanwu Building."


    "Ranking?" Li Yuan became even more bewildered, unable to grasp everything as he had just landed.


    But still, he followed Gu Qianghan onto the flying vehicle.


    The flying vehicle seated four and was essentially a ''flying car,'' suitable for short trips.


    Each student was assigned one, capable of autonomous driving, commuting smartly to any place within the campus.


    When needed, it could be summoned directly.


    When not in use, it would automatically return to the villa, where it would charge, park, and wash itself.


    "The students of Jiangbei Martial University seem to use running as their means of transportation," Li Yuan couldn''t help but say.


    He remembered the scenes from the invitation event.


    "Different levels of universities have different training programs," Gu Qianghan said. "Even the weakest students at Kunlun Martial University can be compared to their strongest ones."


    Li Yuan smiled and said nothing.


    Perhaps it was so at the start of their studies,


    but by the second or third year, it might not be the case anymore.


    ...


    Traveling at ultra-low altitude along the road, Li Yuan saw many flying vehicles coming and going.


    All were filled with students from Kunlun Martial University.


    "Level 13 Martial Artist!"


    "Level 16 Martial Artist!"


    "Prime Warrior," Li Yuan glanced around casually, utilizing Divine Palace Inquiry, and found that most of the people had a body level below 15.


    Those above level 18 were very rare.


    Prime Warriors? Very rare to see, Li Yuan only noticed a few along the way.


    Aside from the freshmen,


    Martial Artists were everywhere, those above level 15 were common, and even Prime Warrior students existed¡ªthis was Kunlun Martial University,


    The top two martial arts higher education institutes in Xia Country.


    On their way, Gu Qianghan also quickly briefed Li Yuan, giving him an idea of the situation.


    "Inter-institute competition, pre-admission Points ranking? The total Points of the top two hundred students in each institute?"


    "The deadline tonight at eight o''clock?"


    "The first-ranked institute receives 20,000 Blue Star Coins per student, and the student ranked first in individual Points gets 500,000 Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan listened to Gu Qianghan''s explanation.


    "Are all of you from the Sixth Institute?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask, "Why such concentration?"


    The number of students from Jiang City admitted to Kunlun Martial University was supposedly less than a hundred.


    And Kunlun Martial University had eight institutes.


    "Because of you!"


    "You chose the Sixth Institute, and right after you told me half a month ago, I immediately contacted all these fellow townspeople. Before and after enrollment, we all strongly requested to join the Sixth Institute, to support you," Gu Qianghan said eagerly, "After all, someone has to offer support, it might as well be us."


    "Li Yuan, students from other provinces don''t know, but we do," he continued.


    "Your ranking in the college entrance examination was low because of Spiritual Nature points. Based on raw scores, you are the number one in Jiangbei Province."


    "But in university, what counts is true strength! "


    "Wu Dongdong, my sister, Tian Dazhuang, and all the other top talents who could compete with you, have gone to Starry Sky University, Starfire University."


    "In terms of strength, if you say you are second in this batch of freshmen at Kunlun Martial University, I won''t believe anyone dares claim to be the first!" Gu Qianghan''s eyes shone, "Li Yuan, I''ve said before; my sister can''t be counted on."


    "For the five years in university, I''ll be depending on you to cover for me."

 Chapter 109: 104: The Xuanwu that Surpasses Flying Heaven (20,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)

    "Cover you for five years?" Li Yuan listened to Gu Qianghan''s words and couldn''t help but want to say something.


    But when he thought about the other person''s family background and personality, he closed his mouth.


    Just like Gu Qianghan had said, he really could live off his parents.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had long discovered that Gu Qianghan, despite appearing nonchalant, actually had a very high IQ. Combined with his family background, such a person often believes they''ve ''seen through everything.''


    If he doesn''t wake up completely on his own, it would be useless no matter what others say.


    Besides.


    "Being friends with Gu Qiang, being roommates, both are quite good," Li Yuan thought silently.


    "Brothers and sisters." Gu Qianghan laughed loudly, "Aren''t you going to call Li Yuan ''Big Brother''?"


    "Big Brother!"


    "Big Brother." A dozen flying machines above, with dozens of freshmen from Jiang City, shouted out.


    Their voices echoed across the campus.


    It startled Li Yuan and also drew the attention of many passing students.


    Big Brother? Such a title was a rarity throughout the entire school.


    "Is this ''Big Brother'' title something you guys came up with?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "Wrong!"


    "Li Yuan," Gu Qianghan said with a grin, "This isn''t self-proclaimed, it''s publicly recognized. We all recognize you as the ''Big Brother'' of the freshmen in the Sixth Institute. Ask around, who would disagree?"


    "Agreed!" Dong Haifeng said with a smile.


    "Li Yuan, you should be our Sixth Institute''s ''Big Brother'' of the new students," An Nong and the other freshmen shouted.


    The students who could get into Kunlun Martial University were all exceptional, often the prominent figures in their own high schools.


    Admitting another freshman as ''Big Brother''? No one was truly convinced.


    So what if he''s a bit stronger?


    Being stronger now doesn''t mean he''ll stay that way forever.


    But Li Yuan was different!!


    This group of students from Jiang City had all witnessed Li Yuan''s capabilities firsthand during the Jiangbei Martial University''s recruitment event.


    Moreover, at that time, Li Yuan''s Physical Quality was only around Level 9, and now that he''d reached Entry Rank, he was bound to be even more formidable.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan had broadcast a show that these students had watched and roughly understood the terrifying speed of Li Yuan''s rise.


    Various factors and the huge gap had earned their immense respect for Li Yuan.


    Joining the Sixth Institute didn''t mean they really expected to ride on Li Yuan''s coattails, but they did generally want the warmth of the group.


    "Big Brother?" Li Yuan shook his head and didn''t argue further.


    In fact, speaking of strength, Li Yuan was among the top of his age globally, but due to Martial Spirit reasons, he had come to Kunlun Martial University... Li Yuan couldn''t help but feel stifled inside.


    Deep down, he too wanted to prove himself!


    Li Yuan had ambition.


    Unable to get into Starfire University, Starry Sky University? Then he would work hard at Kunlun Martial University, striving to surpass the martial arts geniuses of the three top martial schools.


    He would strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, or even stronger.


    He wanted to prove through action that one doesn''t need to attend Starfire University or Starry Sky University to become the strongest.


    "First among the new students at Kunlun Martial University?" Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    From the beginning to the end, Li Yuan''s goal was never just that.


    His sight was set further in the future.


    "Haifeng, how are the total points rankings for the competition between the eight institutes determined?" Li Yuan asked.


    "It''s based on the points from the Kunlun Nine Mountains," said Dong Haifeng. "Each institute has about 250 new students, each of whom can attempt the Kunlun Nine Mountains."


    "They will take the best scores of the top 200, and the combined points of these 200 people will be the total score for an institute''s entry competition."


    "Rankings are divided into individual rankings and total institute score rankings," Dong Haifeng explained quickly. "Right now, our Sixth Institute is ranked fourth, with over 5700 points in total." sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So you''re saying that on average, each person doesn''t even have 30 points?" Li Yuan felt a twinge of toothache.


    The score was too low.


    Before coming to school, Li Yuan had seen all kinds of study arrangements, competitive settings, and reward systems of Kunlun Martial University on the ''Kunlun Space'' of the virtual network.


    He had some understanding of the Kunlun Nine Mountains, a kind of ''virtual contest'' set up by the university specifically to test Martial Arts Skills, divided into nine levels.


    The Kunlun Nine Mountains, it was somewhat similar to the advancement matches of the Starry Skies Fighting Network, but not exactly the same.


    "Right, the score is quite low."


    Dong Haifeng touched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Because most of the new students'' Martial Arts Skills are actually less than Third Stage."


    Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Third Stage skills score 360 in the martial arts portion of the college entrance exam, which is actually very hard to achieve.


    Fourth Level skills? That''s one of the three major thresholds for a Prime Warrior.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, although a large number of Prime Warriors would emerge from Kunlun Martial University in the future,


    most people would not become Prime Warriors before graduating.


    Those who did become Prime Warriors mostly continued their cultivation after graduation, struggled through life and death in the Star Realm, and ultimately broke through their bottlenecks.


    Otherwise, there wouldn''t be so few Prime Warriors within human civilization.


    Take Li Yuan for example.


    Achieving Fourth Level skills during his high school phase? Globally, that placed him at the very pinnacle among his peers.


    Otherwise, would Li Yuan have received such attention from Starfire Martial Hall?


    "Li Yuan."


    "Oh no, Big Brother." Gu Qianghan immediately changed his address, visibly excited: "Our Sixth Institute, we''re actually only a hundred or two hundred points behind the second and third places."


    "Only the Third Institute is more than six or seven hundred points ahead of us," Gu Qianghan said seriously. "You just need to be worth thirty people, get 800 points, and we''re sure to win."


    "Eight hundred points?"


    "Gu Qiang, you didn''t say that before, didn''t you say we''d aim for second place?"


    "Eight hundred points, huh?" Others were amazed, they were full of confidence in Li Yuan, thinking that getting four or five hundred points wouldn''t be difficult.


    But eight hundred points?


    That was a bit of an exaggeration! Because they had all challenged the Kunlun Nine Mountains and knew the difficulties of the nine levels.


    "Eight hundred points, huh?" Li Yuan smiled, "Then I''ll give it a try, but let''s make it clear first, even if I don''t succeed, don''t blame me."


    ```


    "Haha, good."


    "Even Wu Luo could score over three hundred points. Big brother will definitely be stronger. Back then, Wu Luo was totally defeated by big brother''s hand."


    "Wu Luo''s Martial Arts Skills have stepped into the Fourth Level. Otherwise, many at the Third Stage would be stuck at the Third Mountain."


    "And there''s Yang Hong, who nearly scored four hundred points."


    "With big brother''s strength, surpassing those two shouldn''t be difficult," everyone said one after another, discussing.


    They were all filled with expectations for Li Yuan.


    Soon, they passed through a vast villa area.


    More than a dozen flying vehicles had already arrived in front of an extremely large building.


    In front of the building.


    Lay a colossal creature resembling a sea turtle, tens of meters tall and over two hundred meters in length, its statue looming.


    The statue was made of stone.


    Only its shell on the back appeared so real that it even gave off an inexplicable aura of horror, as if a powerful Xuanwu was genuinely lying there, closing its eyes to rest.


    "Is this the Xuanwu statue?" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart. He had seen it in school introductions.


    "Yes!"


    "Legend has it, a long time ago, there was a Star Realm creature Xuanwu that exceeded the Sky-Flying Level on Feixing," Gu Qianghan said excitedly. "It was Dongfang Ji, the first strongest human, who hunted it down alone. A world-shattering battle erupted between them on Feixing, devastating heaven and earth."


    "In the end, Dongfang Ji killed it."


    "Its remains were turned into a gift by Dongfang Ji and given to his alma mater, ''Kunlun Martial Arts University.''


    "That shell in front of us."


    "It''s the remains of a lifeform that surpassed the Sky-Flying Level."


    "After thorough research by Kunlun Martial University, the shell was made into this statue to serve as a warning, prompting all students to maintain a sense of awe," Gu Qianghan said confidently. "This building was therefore renamed Xuanwu Tower in memory."


    "You''re quite mediocre in ability but quite knowledgeable," Li Yuan joked.


    "Damn! Here we go again," Gu Qianghan complained. "It''s not that I''m too weak, it''s that you''re too abnormal."


    "Let''s get off."


    The flying vehicles slowly landed in the square, and dozens of people jumped out.


    "Eight institutes, each with its own specialized area."


    "And there are comprehensive buildings."


    "Xuanwu Tower is a comprehensive building, divided into east and west wings," Gu Qianghan explained. "The east wing is the main area for first-year freshmen. Important activities for freshmen from all eight institutes are held here."


    Li Yuan listened, knowing some things while still unaware of others.


    Clearly, Gu Qianghan had arrived several days earlier and was quite familiar with many things.


    "Let''s go into the east wing," Gu Qianghan said.


    A crowd surrounded Li Yuan as they entered the east wing of Xuanwu Tower.


    The building was only twelve stories high, but it covered an enormous area.


    Upon entering, there was a vast open-air plaza, easily capable of accommodating two to three thousand people. At the moment, there were six to seven hundred people gathered in the plaza.


    As Li Yuan and his group of dozens entered with great momentum, they immediately attracted the attention of the many first-year freshmen on the plaza.


    "They are from the Sixth Institute."


    "That one is Gu Qianghan."


    "From the Sixth Institute," someone recognized them.


    In just a few days, Gu Qianghan gained a certain level of fame among the freshmen for his excellent ''organizational abilities.''


    "Could it be that they still want to compete in the entrance competition for the institutes?"


    "The deadline is almost here; their strongest members should have participated already."


    "What are they doing here?" Many students showed puzzled looks on their faces.


    The entrance competition for the institutes was already nearing its end.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Li Yuan is here? He''s from the Sixth Institute?"


    "Damn!"


    "So why did they all from Jiang City join the Sixth Institute? Didn''t Li Yuan go to Starfire University?"


    "He actually came?" Among the several hundred people, many were from Jiangbei Province and quickly recognized the conspicuous figure with the large backpack.


    "Li Yuan?"


    "Who is Li Yuan?" Students from other provinces showed expressions of confusion. "Never heard of him. He wasn''t mentioned in the top ten admission scores this year."


    "Forget about it; go notify Wu Luo..."


    "And Yang Hong. It''s possible our Third Institute might lose the top spot," some students from Jiangbei Province started to panic.


    They had witnessed Li Yuan''s prowess.


    On this side.


    "Rankings?" Li Yuan looked up and already saw two giant light screens on each side of the plaza displaying two sets of rankings.


    Kunlun Nine Mountains Individual Ranking (First Year):


    First place: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Second place: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Third place: Han Hongjun (288 points)


    ...


    Institute Entrance Competition (Institute):


    First place: Third Institute (6563 points)


    Second place: Seventh Institute (6043 points)


    Third place: Fifth Institute (5956 points)


    Fourth place: Sixth Institute (5789 points)


    ...


    "Big brother, let''s start," An Nong whispered. "The sooner we secure it, the sooner we can relax."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded and walked directly toward the virtual network pods in the distance.


    ```

 Chapter 110: 105: Power of One (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    ```


    "Hai Feng, help me with my bag," Li Yuan called out, slipping off his backpack to pass it to Dong Haifeng.


    After all, he was most familiar with Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng.


    The others? Although they called him ''senior brother,'' Li Yuan didn''t take it seriously. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Senior brother, leave it to me, I''m the best at this," said An Nong, the tall and skinny boy standing alongside, as he caught the backpack from Li Yuan''s hand and patted his chest, "I will definitely hold on to it well."


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, giving An Nong a curious look.


    The kid sure knew how to curry favor!


    "Alright, An Nong, thanks a lot," Li Yuan said with a smile, not rejecting the offer.


    In the short time from the terminal to Xuanwu Tower, Li Yuan had already made up his mind.


    The students who were able to enroll in Kunlun Martial University might not have talents that matched his own, but they were all top choices, and at the very least, they all had the potential to become Prime Warriors in the future.


    What''s most important is that this group of people were all from Jiang City!


    In ancient times, this meant they were naturally ''fellow villagers'', thereby naturally having a foundation of trust among each other.


    Therefore, now that Gu Qianghan had already laid some groundwork for him, if he could truly rally this group of people together, unite them, and truly establish prestige and influence among them, it might be of great use in the future.


    So-called social networks and relationships are all built up step by step.


    His uncle, Li Changzhou, had taught Li Yuan from a young age not to focus only on the present.


    For instance, learning a few foreign languages, understanding an industry, acquiring additional certifications, and making more friends among classmates...might seem useless at the moment, even mostly useless, but at some critical moment in the future, you might be able to use one or two of these skills to great effect.


    In a word.


    Gathering more resources, it''s never a mistake.


    "Senior brother?"


    "Are we electing the senior brother now?"


    "Don''t we wait until the Combat Assessment in July to choose the new senior brother?"


    "Is this Li Yuan really that amazing?" Many freshmen were shocked upon hearing An Nong''s address.


    The title of senior brother is clearly recognized for each class and each institute by the school.


    It''s based on strength, and moreover, one must be willing, with competitions every half year.


    There are responsibilities, but also benefits.


    "What do you guys know?" An Nong, holding the large bag, laughed coldly and said loudly, "Everyone says Yang Hong is the senior brother for the freshmen of the Third Institute, and Wu Luo will be the senior brother for the Seventh Institute... But do all the people in those two institutes truly acknowledge them?"


    The people in the venue looked at each other.


    At this moment, there were mostly students from the Third and Seventh Institutes in the venue.


    Truly acknowledging Wu Luo and Yang Hong? Forget about it!


    Many freshmen truly had never met Wu Luo and Yang Hong, so how could they recognize them?


    "So you guys from the Sixth Institute genuinely recognize this Li Yuan?" someone finally couldn''t help but shout.


    "Of course, we do."


    "Our senior brother of the Sixth Institute is way stronger than those two, just you wait and see," An Nong, waiting for this cue, immediately shouted towards Gu Qianghan and the others, "Brothers and sisters, show them the unity of our Sixth Institute, call out to senior brother."


    "Senior brother!" Over thirty people, seemingly prepared, shouted in unison towards Li Yuan, their voices echoing throughout the entire venue.


    Li Yuan was taken aback and looked at An Nong again.


    The kid was a pro!


    Just one glance, and you could tell he was great at creating ''hype,'' ''laying the groundwork,'' and ''building anticipation,'' perfect for public relations work.


    If he learned to write cliffhangers, he could try writing serialized novels online, and he''d likely do well.


    "Are they really calling him that?"


    "Do so many people acknowledge him?"


    "This Li Yuan, is he really that incredible?" The unified shouting from tens of people instantly subdued the six to seven hundred freshmen in the venue.


    Many students who were originally skeptical started to become doubtful.


    Is this Li Yuan really that incredible?


    In fact, there were also many students from the Sixth Institute in the venue who came from other provinces and didn''t know Li Yuan, but they didn''t dare to speak out in the face of such a situation.


    People have the instinct to conform and fit in, and nobody wanted to be labeled as a ''traitor of the Sixth Institute.''


    For a moment, everyone in the venue couldn''t help but turn their eyes toward Li Yuan, waiting to see his performance.


    They wanted to see how incredible he could really be.


    Could he truly reverse a deficit of over seven hundred points with his own strength?


    "Senior brother, you can do it!"


    "Beat the Third Institute, take the top spot." An Nong, with the bag slung over one shoulder and waving his fist with the other hand, appeared extremely excited.


    The atmosphere was perfectly charged up.


    Li Yuan''s expression showed a trace of oddity as he murmured to himself, "If this act fails, it''s game over, will probably get ridiculed for years."


    To be the big brother, it''s crucial to hold your ground in big moments.


    "Well, it''s okay."


    "It''s only a seven hundred point gap, not seven thousand. Otherwise, it really would be a headache," Li Yuan muttered to himself, and sat straight down into the public virtual network pod.


    The pod door closed.


    Li Yuan''s eyes tightly shut, his consciousness connected, already entering the virtual network.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Everyone subconsciously looked up, eyes fixed on the two giant screens with the leaderboards on either side.


    In reality, every student could participate in the ''Kunlun Nine Mountains'' virtual battles from their own villa.


    They could also see the real-time updates of the rankings.


    But however realistic the network is, what could be more exciting than being there in person?


    Hence, when the enrollment competition of the Eighth Institute approached closure, so many people came to the east hall of Xuanwu Tower.


    Primarily students from the Third and Seventh Institutes, they were actually prepared to celebrate.


    ...


    All freshmen from each institute have various chat groups.


    Therefore, in a very short time, many of the freshmen in the Xuanwu Tower were able to spread the news to their respective institute groups.


    "Who is Li Yuan?"


    "Does anyone know?"


    "The Sixth Institute is boasting that Li Yuan alone can chop down eight hundred points, how arrogant."


    "Never heard of him!"


    "Eight hundred points? Aren''t those idiots from the Sixth Institute saying that Li Yuan can grab a thousand points?"


    ```

 Chapter 111: 105: Power of One (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

    ```


    "A thousand points? Bullshit! I don''t believe it!"


    "Wait till I get there, I want to see the face-slapping." An abundance of messages began spreading immediately across various institute groups.


    Many new students started hurrying over from their villas, wanting to catch the excitement.


    Others who were reluctant to go out also instinctively followed the rankings and group messages.


    ...Inside a villa belonging to a student of the Seventh Institute.


    Underground Martial Arts Room.


    A handsome youth holding a sword and shield was silently practicing in the Martial Arts Room.


    Wu Luo!


    At the Jiangbei Martial University''s invitation event, although he was defeated by Li Yuan in the cage brawl, he performed well in the Combat Assessment and broke into the top ten.


    Eventually, Kunlun Martial University used another of their S-grade special training contracts to sign him.


    Wu Luo did not disappoint, ranking eighth in martial arts scores in Jiangbei Province in the college entrance exam.


    This achievement was barely enough to qualify for the top three global premier martial schools.


    "If I went to Starry Sky University, I''d be the least noticeable one, the bottom class, with no one valuing me," Wu Luo silently practiced his Sword Technique: "But at Kunlun Martial University, I am among the top-tier talents, able to receive the most cultivation resources."


    "The odds of achieving great success are even higher!"


    "Moreover, after the college entrance exam, I managed to break through to Unity of Mind and Body, and my Sword Technique has just stepped into the Fourth Level." Wu Luo thought to himself: "Among the two thousand freshmen, aside from that Yang Hong, no one else is my match."


    Wu Luo had his own considerations.


    He was well aware that compared to geniuses like Tian Dazhuang and Wu Dongdong, he was slightly inferior and would struggle to rise rapidly at Starry Sky University.


    "Yang Hong."


    "Just you wait." Wu Luo''s eyes were resolute: "When it comes to Physical Quality, you''re not my match. By the end of July''s Combat Assessment, I will definitely be stronger than you."


    Suddenly.


    "Beep~" The assistant AI sounded an alert: "Master, an important person has sent a message, with the remark ''new student Yang Hong''."


    "Yang Hong?" Wu Luo was slightly surprised as he spoke in a low tone: "Answer."


    Whoosh~ A beam of light shot out, and a hologram formed, displaying a burly man holding a large axe, who seemed to have also been practicing just now.


    "Yang Hong, what''s up?" Wu Luo said indifferently.


    "Have you seen the ranking for the entrance competition?" the burly youth asked in a low voice.


    "No." Wu Luo frowned.


    He typically did not take calls during his practice time, and since it had only been a few days since entering school, there were only a few in the Seventh Institute who knew his communicator number.


    Thus, even after ten minutes had passed, no one could contact him.


    "Someone has surpassed both your score and mine," the burly youth said somberly.


    "What, surpassed? Are there any other Fourth Level Martial Arts Skill masters among the freshmen? Who?" A hint of shock flashed through Wu Luo''s eyes.


    "From what I''ve heard from other students, you should be quite familiar with this person," the burly youth''s face showed a trace of puzzling meaning.


    "Someone I''m familiar with?" Wu Luo grew even more confused.


    "Li Yuan!" The burly youth almost seemed to smile as he uttered the two words.


    Boom!


    Those two words, like a thunderclap, caused Wu Luo to widen his eyes in disbelief.


    That monster, Li Yuan, came to Kunlun Martial University?


    ...After ending the call with Yang Hong, Wu Luo immediately walked over to pick up his smart bracelet and swiftly tapped on the ''Kunlun Martial University'' app to check the rankings.


    Kunlun Nine Mountains Individual Rankings (Freshmen):


    First place: Li Yuan (586 points)


    Second place: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Third place: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Fourth place: Han Hongjun (288 points)


    ...


    "588, 591." Wu Luo watched as the numbers beside Li Yuan''s name on the hologram quickly jumped.


    In the blink of an eye, they had soared past 600 points.


    What did this indicate?


    Li Yuan had hardly faced any significant resistance, sweeping through all his opponents with ease.


    Wu Luo, who had also reached over three hundred points, knew all too well the strength of the opponents Li Yuan was facing.


    "Li Yuan?"


    Wu Luo muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a touch of unwillingness: "Could it be that after several months, though I finally made a breakthrough to the Fourth Level, the gap between us hasn''t narrowed, but has in fact grown even wider?"


    He stared intently at the hologram.


    "A thousand points."


    "You can''t possibly break through a thousand points and directly enter the Fifth Mountain, can you?" Wu Luo thought silently.


    ...


    In the virtual network, within a space affiliated with Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    Some extremely mysterious and special areas, enveloped in mists, vast and boundless, stood nine tall mountains.


    The Kunlun Nine Mountains, with each peak taller than the last, the highest peak reaching into the clouds.


    Fourth Mountain, on the spacious mountain path.


    ```


    At this moment, blood had already flowed like a river, and one after another the bodies of Star Realm Creatures, resembling wolves with their silvery bodies, lay in pools of blood.


    A handsome young man holding a long spear moved along the mountain path with a subdued expression, unfazed by the bloodshed.


    The spear flickered, like lightning.


    With each thrust of his weapon, another Star Realm Creature fell, symbolizing death.


    Li Yuan''s points were skyrocketing.


    "This challenge of Kunlun Nine Mountains is easier than I thought, I breezed through to the Fourth Mountain," Li Yuan even had the energy to observe his surroundings. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In Kunlun Nine Mountains, one can freely choose their Physical Quality level, and by killing off all opponents on each mountain, you can pass.


    Li Yuan had chosen the Physical Quality level of 10.0, and so far, the opponents that had appeared were at level 9.0, including all types of Star Realm Creatures.


    The further one went, the higher the skill level of the opponents encountered.


    "Roar~"


    Suddenly, a low growl resounded, and an enormous silver wolf king emerged, darting towards Li Yuan with noticeably faster speed and strength.


    "Finally, it''s here."


    "Is this the part where you clear the minions and the final boss shows up? After getting rid of the boss, should this level be considered passed?" Li Yuan grinned and advanced to meet the challenge.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The spear''s shadow shifted unpredictably as Li Yuan instantly unleashed ''Twelve Continuous Strikes'' in an attempt to kill the silver wolf king outright.


    "Clang!"


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The wolf''s claws changed as if they were made of metal, effortlessly blocking Li Yuan''s rapid spear strikes.


    "So fast!"


    "Worthy of being the boss." Li Yuan''s eyes lit up. After nearly twenty minutes storming through the Kunlun Nine Mountains, he finally found an opponent worth fighting.


    This silver wolf king, in terms of Physical Quality, was even inferior to the Moon Demon Wolf King that Li Yuan had faced in the past.


    But its skills were extraordinarily adept.


    "It must have achieved Unity, a threshold skill of the Fourth Level," Li Yuan instantly judged, "Its Physical Quality should be around level 11."


    In terms of skills, Li Yuan was stronger!


    In terms of Physical Quality, the silver wolf king was stronger.


    Who would have the last laugh?


    "Kill!" Li Yuan finally stopped holding back, his spear transformed into a blur, instantly wiping out the last three common silver wolves, and pounced on the silver wolf king like lightning.


    ...


    In the building of Xuanwu Tower, the venue was now filled with over nine hundred students.


    It wasn''t just freshmen, there were quite a few sophomores and even juniors who had come to join in the excitement.


    The venue was very quiet.


    Almost everyone''s gaze was fixed on two huge screens in the distance, displaying the rankings:


    Kunlun Nine Mountains Individual Ranking (Freshmen):


    First place: Li Yuan (700 points)


    Second place: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Third place: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Fourth place: Han Hongjun (288 points)


    ...


    Sixth Institute Admission Competition (Institute):


    First place: Third Institute (6563 points)


    Second place: Sixth Institute (6467 points)


    Third place: Seventh Institute (6043 points)


    Fourth place: Fifth Institute (5956 points)


    ...


    "Seven hundred points already."


    "Sixth Institute has already surged to second place."


    "This Li Yuan is too formidable, his Martial Arts Skills are so much stronger than Yang Hong and Wu Luo?" Freshmen from other institutes were rather shocked.


    Almost all freshmen had tried the Kunlun Nine Mountains challenge, but most couldn''t get past the first mountain. Managing to obtain 30 points and enter the second mountain was already considered good.


    Li Yuan? He alone had scored a whopping 700 points!!


    And he hadn''t stopped yet, he was still progressing.


    "Senior brother is still as fierce,"


    "Senior brother seems much stronger than when he was in the Jiangbei Invitational event,"


    "Amazing, our Sixth Institute has already reached second place," An Nong, Dong Haifeng, and other students from Jiangbei Province expressed a mix of admiration and shock.


    There were many freshmen from Jiangbei at Kunlun Martial University, over three hundred.


    Most had witnessed Li Yuan''s battles.


    They felt that Li Yuan was even more formidable than before.


    At this moment, there was only one thought in the minds of most freshmen in the venue.


    Could Li Yuan truly lead the Sixth Institute to take first place directly?

 Chapter 112: 106: New Record! The First in History! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

    In the venue, everyone was staring at the two giant screens, eager to see the final results.


    "Li Yuan, truly impressive! You should change your name to ''Li Qianghan''." Gu Qianghan stood among the crowd, eyes shining.


    "The score isn''t changing."


    "700 points, why has it stopped moving?"


    "Could it be a failure?"


    "Could he have been killed by the Mountain Guardian of the Star Realm Creatures?" Li Yuan''s score had been stuck at 700 points and hadn''t moved, which immediately sparked speculation among many first-year newcomers.


    Even Dongfang Hai and An Nong were a bit worried.


    "Don''t worry, trust the big brother to take down a thousand points as if it''s nothing." Gu Qianghan alone remained utterly confident.


    "Really?" Many students from the Sixth Institute expressed their concerns.


    "Trust my judgment." Gu Qianghan grinned, giving off an air of unfathomable depth.


    Gu Qianghan muttered to himself, "According to my sister''s words, Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Skills are among the top few dozens globally for his age, and within the first-year students of Kunlun Martial University, he is utterly dominant."


    Why did Gu Qianghan have such faith in Li Yuan? Was it blind trust?


    No! It was because of intelligence!


    He had learned from Lin Lanyue about the level of Li Yuan''s skills, which should have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level.


    However, Gu Qianghan never disclosed this information to other students because he wanted to maintain his own image.


    Similarly, dozens of second and third-year students in the venue were also well aware.


    "This junior named Li Yuan is indeed formidable."


    "Junior? In our second year, except for Senior Brother Liu and the other two who reached the Fifth Mountain, the rest can''t compare to him."


    "Don''t just talk about second year. As far as I know, even most of the older students from fifth year have been stuck on the Third Mountain for several years." These second and third-year students were quite shocked.


    It was simply too ferocious.


    ...


    Li Yuan, a first-year newcomer who hadn''t even started school.


    Based solely on the exposed Martial Arts Skills, he was already in the top tier among third-year students.


    In the second year, he was absolutely in the top five.


    How exaggerated?


    "He hasn''t finished yet, his name is still lit up, indicating he''s still challenging. He must be battling with the Mountain Guardian of the Fourth Mountain."


    "Probably." These older students were communicating, "I feel like he can totally compare with those creatures from Starry Sky and Starfire."


    "Compare with the creatures from Starfire? Indeed! He can compare with them. Our school has produced a monster this year, haha."


    "Can he win against the Mountain Guardian of the Fourth Mountain?"


    "Unlikely."


    "If he wins, wouldn''t that mean he could enter the Fifth Mountain? A first-year newbie who hasn''t officially started school, crossing the Fifth Mountain in the entrance competition? Even Senior Brother Jin didn''t achieve that."


    "Not just Senior Brother Jin, I just looked at the historical records, and in history, only one senior has ever done it."


    "It''s impossible."


    "700 points, already outrageously impressive. Compared to him, we''re practically nothing." These second and third-year students subconsciously found it inconceivable.


    Most people, when living through a significant historical event that will be remembered for millennia, are usually completely unaware of it.


    Because of this, most people tend to underestimate the present compared to the past.


    Suddenly.


    "Buzz~" The numbers on both screens jumped at the same time. Li Yuan''s score leaped from 700 points straight to 1000 points.


    First: Li Yuan (1000 points)


    Second: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Third: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Fourth: Han Hongjun (288 points)


    ...


    Eight Institutes'' Entrance Competition (Institutes):


    First: Sixth Institute (6767 points)


    Second: Third Institute (6563 points)


    Third: Seventh Institute (6043 points)


    Fourth: Fifth Institute (5956 points)


    ...


    "1000 points!!"


    "Holy shit, he really won! Big brother is amazing!" An Nong and Gu Qianghan almost jumped up at the same time, both suddenly swinging their fists.


    It was as if they themselves had cleared 1000 points.


    Subconsciously, Gu Qianghan couldn''t help stealing a glance at An Nong, sensing a familiar aura about him.


    The scent of a rival!


    "Brother Qiang." An Nong touched his head sheepishly and then quickly continued cheering and swinging his fist: "Number one! The Sixth Institute is number one."


    "Big brother is amazing."


    "1000 points! Grabbing the first place." The whole venue erupted at that moment, whether they were from Jiangbei Province or not, every student from the Sixth Institute was boiling over.


    They all felt a sense of glory.


    "1000 points?"


    "This Li Yuan, did he really score a thousand points? He''s that much stronger than Yang Hong and Wu Luo?"


    "Is the system broken or something?" Newcomers from other institutes were somewhat incredulous.


    It was just too preposterous.


    If Li Yuan had scored five hundred or six hundred points, they might have reluctantly accepted it, but 1000 points?


    This indicated that even the very top new recruits could not compare to Li Yuan.


    It was a precipitous lead.


    "What do you all know, that Wu Luo was completely defeated by our big brother as early as March."


    An Nong immediately took up the role of a commentator and began to shout, "Our big brother, in terms of strength, is one of the very best nationwide. It''s only because he hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit that he came to Kunlun Martial University."


    "Our big brother''s high school exam, the Martial Arts Score was 900 points! Full score!" Gu Qianghan also shouted.


    "900 points?"


    "He hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit? What!" Many students from other provinces in the venue were stunned.


    A full score prodigy? S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    You should know that, on average, each province across the country only sees 1-2 of such Martial Arts prodigies.


    Shouldn''t such an individual definitely go to one of the global top three martial arts schools? Yet he chose Kunlun Martial University?


    "Truly 1000 points?"


    "This is even more ferocious than Senior Brother Jin back in the day. He''s a monster."


    "Where did he pop up from?"


    "His score is still rising?"


    "His Martial Arts Skills must be at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level, just how old is he? He hasn''t even started school?"


    "Such a monster would be very highly ranked even at Starfire University, right?"


    "He actually came to our school?"


    "Full score in Martial Arts and hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit?" The dozens of older students, watching the score and listening to the tales of Li Yuan''s past glories told by new students from Jiang City''s Sixth Institute, were utterly unsettled.


    They couldn''t help but feel that way.


    1000 points, and 700 points, were completely different concepts.


    Most of these second and third-year students knew the specific point scores and the requirements of the Kunlun Nine Mountains:


    First Mountain: 1-30 points, with the full score requirement around Second Stage Perfection.


    Second Mountain: 30-100 points, with the full score requirement around Third Stage High Rank


    ```


    Third Mountain: 100-300 Points, the full score requirement is approximately at the Initial Rank of the Fourth Level.


    Fourth Mountain: 300-1000 Points, the full score requirement is approximately at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level.


    Fifth Mountain: 1000-3000 Points


    Sixth Mountain: 3000-10000 Points


    ...


    "He''s still breaking through."


    "1200 Points now."


    "He surely won''t make it to the Sixth Mountain," everyone stared intently at the two colossal light screens in the distance.


    Over the years, Kunlun Martial University had students who suddenly burst forth and rose to prominence during their time at university.


    But overall, they were far from matching the top talents at the top three martial arts universities.


    Today, Li Yuan''s dimension-reducing strike genuinely delivered a shocking blow to the hearts and minds of both new and old students of Kunlun Martial University.


    Is this a freshman?


    ...


    Virtual network, Kunlun Nine Mountains, Fifth Mountain.


    "The difficulty of the Fifth Mountain has suddenly skyrocketed so much."


    "Just now, I was forced to use the third form of the Stellar Spear Technique, ''Dawn Piercing the Clouds'', to barely kill the final Wolf King of the Fourth Mountain."


    "Now these opponents, each and every one, could be considered a weakened version of the Wolf King."


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, was in a very sorry state, his figure shifting like the wind as he dodged the attacks of human-shaped Star Realm Creatures.


    These Star Realm Creatures were physically much weaker than Li Yuan, but all possessed martial arts skills at the threshold of the Fourth Level.


    Every move was ruthless.


    Under the combined assault of more than ten opponents, Li Yuan was utterly suppressed, and it was difficult for him to kill even one.


    Suddenly.


    "Puchi~" Li Yuan seized an opportunity, his spear like lightning, its tip instantly pierced the throat of one of the Star Realm Creatures.


    Blood splattered! Dead!


    But in the next moment.


    "Whoosh~" A blurred blade light also instantly swept across Li Yuan''s back, the terrifying impact made him stumble, his body involuntarily surged forward, no longer able to maintain perfect balance.


    "Clang!" "Boom!" The other Star Realm Creatures instantly seized the chance, unleashing a barrage of ferocious combos.


    After barely dodging three strikes.


    "Puff~"


    A slash of the blade, and Li Yuan''s figure vanished from the Fifth Mountain.


    Failed!


    "Congratulations, freshman ''Li Yuan'', for reaching the Fifth Mountain on your first attempt in the Kunlun Nine Mountains, achieving 1300 Points, setting a new historical record in the admission competition, and entering the top hundred of the freshman records for the Kunlun Nine Mountains." A system voice announced.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had already returned to his ''personal exclusive space'' in the Kunlun Space.


    "Admission competition historical record?" Li Yuan paused, then clicked twice on the light screen to check.


    ...Admission Competition Historical Record (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present):


    First place: Li Yuan, 1300 Points (2043)


    Second place: Yan Jing, 1100 Points (2029)


    Third place: Jin Huguo, 700 Points (2041)


    ...


    Kunlun Nine Mountains Freshman Record (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present)


    First place: Yan Jing, 8000 Points (2030)


    Second place: Jin Huguo, 8000 Points (2042)


    Third...


    ...


    Sixty-seventh place: Li Yuan, 1300 Points (2043)


    ...


    "First in history?" Li Yuan pondered for a moment before he understood the significance of the two leaderboards.


    The first leaderboard represented that since 2009, among all students who participated in the admission competition, he was the first in points.


    First in history!!


    The second leaderboard was not limited to the admission competition, but reflected the overall scores of all freshmen who had ever challenged the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    "Jin Huguo?" Li Yuan murmured to himself, remembering the name from the leaderboard.


    Because with a simple calculation of the time.


    Li Yuan knew that Jin Huguo was the only one still in school among the top ten in the history of the admission competition records.


    Jin Huguo must be a senior who just started his third year.


    "He reached 8000 Points in the Kunlun Nine Mountains at the end of his freshman year? That score, it must be the Sixth Mountain," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled with a hint of light as he smiled, "Very good."


    "It looks like Kunlun Martial University also has some geniuses."


    "Finally, there''s a bit of a challenge."


    ...


    Clank~ The virtual network pod opened, and Li Yuan stood up, feeling the outside atmosphere boiling over.


    "Senior Brother!"


    "Senior Brother!" An Nong and Gu Qianghan stood at the front, exchanged a knowing glance and excitedly shouted out these words.


    Following that, dozens of new students from the Sixth Institute in Jiang City started shouting ''Senior Brother'' with excitement.


    Then, new students from other provinces who belonged to the Sixth Institute also joined in.


    In a short time, the entire venue resounded with shouts of ''Senior Brother''.


    This scene left the new and old students from other institutes speechless, yet unable to refute.


    With such strength, who else could be the Senior Brother?


    ...


    "1300 Points?" Wu Luo, who was in the basement, looked at the score on his smart ring.


    After a long silence.


    "Damn, is he this freakish! If I had known, I would not have chosen Kunlun Martial University."


    ...


    "1300 Points?"


    "First in history? Damn impressive!"


    A hulking young man by the name of Yang Hong, also in his villa, chuckled to himself while looking at the score above, "With such a score, will he participate in the Global University Martial Arts Competition in his freshman year?"


    The Global University Martial Arts Competition was a contest among students from martial arts universities around the globe.


    But normally, freshmen wouldn''t get the chance to participate.


    ...


    Such important news didn''t require students to inform the teachers.


    The relevant teachers had already received notifications from the auxiliary AI the moment it happened.


    Heilong Building, a building dedicated to students and teachers of the Sixth Institute.


    Ninth floor, inside an office.


    "Hmm?" President Li, who was pondering over a cultivation plan, suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate and looked down to check.


    "Hmm?"


    President Li was taken aback, "1300 Points? Goodness, that''s a big leap from last time, isn''t it?"


    "Could it be that this kid is really cheating?"


    ```

 Chapter 114: 108: The Elite Battle of Human Martial Path (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Two hours after practicing the Basic Cultivation Method.


    Li Yuan felt exhilarated, his body more invigorated than ever.


    "It''s just a basic method, but it''s one forged through thousands of refinements by my ancestors of the Human Race," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "After advancing to the Fourth Level in all martial arts skills and using auxiliary treasures like body cleansing spiritual marrow and Essence Pills."


    "With the Basic Cultivation Method, the evolution speed of my body is extremely rapid, surpassing by far most of the freshmen who cultivate high rank methods," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    High Rank Cultivation Methods indeed help one advance faster, but everyone''s talent is different, and there is often a limit to how fast one can progress.


    And without a doubt.


    Li Yuan''s physical talent was exceptionally high, augmented by an abundance of resources bought with a considerable sum of money.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan could endure the terrible pain that came with using body cleansing spiritual marrow three times a month.


    This made the speed of his physical quality improvement astonishingly fast.


    "However."


    "Considering my current rate of improvement, achieving what Uncle Wan mentioned, becoming a Prime Warrior within two years? That''s tough!" Li Yuan frowned slightly as he glanced at his Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 10.8 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 1710 kilograms


    Speed: 24.5 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 17.9 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (Current limit 20%)


    Physical Body Cultivation Method: "Solid Rock Cultivation Method"


    Mental Cultivation Method: "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture"


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 42%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 31%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 44%)


    ...


    "Since the grading exam in April, when I became an Entry Rank Martial Artist, I''ve been improving by about 0.3 levels each month," Li Yuan thought to himself: "But it will definitely get slower as I progress."


    Becoming a Prime Warrior in two years? Nearly impossible!


    "However, if Uncle Wan says so, he must have his reasons." Li Yuan pondered, "After all, he is a Prime Warrior and part of the management at Starfire Martial Hall, and he graduated from Kunlun Martial University. He must know something."


    Li Yuan could only think of two possibilities.


    First, as his martial arts skills improved, especially after reaching ''Subtlety'', the efficiency of his body conditioning would be much greater than he imagined.


    Second, Kunlun Martial University had special cultivation methods for students with S-Grade special training contracts that he was unaware of.


    "Tomorrow is the official start of the school year."


    "Then I''ll see President Li and ask for more details," Li Yuan looked forward with anticipation.


    ...


    At three in the morning, after ending his cultivation of the "Observing the Great Sun and Stars Technique," Li Yuan, as usual, entered the virtual reality pod.


    Preparing to have a few rank-matched fights on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    But as soon as he entered his personal space.


    "Master, you received three transfers and two document explanations yesterday," said the black-clad young girl respectfully, like a maid.


    "Three transfers?"


    Li Yuan was slightly surprised, and he quickly checked them. One was for 20 thousand, another for 500 thousand.


    These were for the team award and the individual award in the entrance competition.


    And there was another of 10 million Blue Star Coins!


    "Kunlun Martial University''s S-Grade contract cash reward?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "They''ve already issued it upon my confirmed arrival at the campus?"


    This was for the entire year.


    As per the contract, a signing fee of one million Blue Star Coins had already been given to Li Yuan.


    Subsequent annual rewards amounted to 10 million, totaling to 50 million Blue Star Coins over five years.


    Meanwhile.


    In the S-Grade special training contract with Kunlun Martial University, it was stipulated that as soon as Li Yuan became a Prime Warrior, all subsequent cash rewards would be issued in one lump sum.


    Becoming a Prime Warrior signified being qualified to ''graduate'', with the option to apply for early graduation.


    "Compared with Starfire Martial Hall''s A-Grade contract, the cash rewarded by Kunlun Martial University is indeed lesser," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Under the A-Grade contract Li Yuan signed with Starfire Martial Hall, a total of 43.2 million Blue Star Coins and 43.2 million Martial Hall Points would be issued over six years.


    Plus, over eighty million Cultivation Points.


    And this was just an A-Grade contract; if it were an S-Grade contract with Starfire Martial Hall, the various cultivation resource rewards would at least quadruple.


    Before becoming a Prime Warrior, such rewards were astronomical.


    However.


    Li Yuan was well aware of the difference between the two contracts: the Martial Hall''s rewards were mainly cultivation resources, and they rarely supervised how the cultivation was done.


    For those who excelled, the contract level could be elevated.


    For those not making enough progress? They would simply be one among the masses, without a decrease in the contract level.


    As for Martial Arts Universities, their training programs were much more comprehensive, offering full guidance in all aspects, with many benefits not specified in the contract.


    For example, the reduction in benefits isn''t in cash rewards but many other special resources that aren''t written in the contract, like teaching staff, practical combat training partners, heavenly materials treasures, and so on.


    ...


    At four in the morning,


    Li Yuan''s day of arduous cultivation truly began.


    At eight in the morning, after consuming an Essence Pill, he also ate three nutritious meals that were delivered.


    That''s right!


    The cafeteria of Kunlun Martial University was very small, and students hardly ever ate there.


    Because each student could order meals anytime they wanted, delivered to their villas or academic buildings, and up to 20 nutritious meals a day were completely free.


    The entire Kunlun Martial University, with its massive number of logistics staff, assistant robots, and more, just for student services,


    Their goal was to allow every student to devote themselves entirely to Martial Path cultivation.


    ...


    At nine in the morning, Li Yuan took a flying vehicle and arrived at the Heilong Building, exclusive to teachers and students of the Sixth Institute.


    "Heilong."


    As Li Yuan got off the flying vehicle, he immediately saw the gigantic skeletal remains coiling up in front of the building.


    Even though it coiled around, its height nearly matched that of the whole building.


    If stretched out, it would probably be hundreds of meters long, a sight so shocking it could stir the soul.


    It resembled the skeletal remains of a giant serpent.


    Even though it had been dead for many years, as Li Yuan approached closely, he could still feel a wisp of its aura, causing one''s heart to tremble.


    "Big brother!"


    "Brother Yuan." Two voices called out from a distance, it was Gu Qianghan and An Nong.


    "Good morning," Li Yuan turned his head and smiled at the two.


    "Looking at the skeleton of the black dragon?" Gu Qianghan asked curiously.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, looking up at the gigantic skeleton of the black dragon: "I read the academy''s brochure yesterday."


    "It is a black dragon that burst forth more than twenty years ago, from the deep South Sea not far from the Ruins Star Realm, stirring up the wind and clouds, causing a terrifying tsunami that resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties," Li Yuan said softly: "In the end, it was our university''s Dean Hai who took action, traveling thousands of miles across the South Sea, diving thousands of meters into the seabed, before finally killing it."


    "Right."


    "We know too."


    "Dean Hai''s famous battle, the flying heaven duel, the slaying of the South Sea black dragon," both Gu Qianghan and An Nong couldn''t help but say.


    Dean Hai is the only Flying Heaven Warrior among the six institutes.


    His power is terrifying, his fame illustrious.


    The battle to kill the South Sea black dragon, back then, shook the entire Xia Country.


    The children of their generation mostly heard about it, and even saw some video clips of it.


    "Big brother."


    "Elder brother." More freshmen walked over, and after yesterday''s event at Xuanwu Tower, all the first-years from the Sixth Institute recognized Li Yuan and greeted him.


    Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.


    "Big brother, rest assured." Sounding low, An Nong said, "I''ve hastily chosen six people overnight and have started informing all the freshmen in batches."


    "It''s not a problem," said An Nong.


    "Alright, thank you for your hard work," Li Yuan could not help but glance at An Nong, seeing him as a real talent.


    But he wondered how good An Nong''s martial arts skills were. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...The Sixth Institute''s freshman orientation ceremony officially began at ten, and all the students were looking forward to seeing Dean Hai, who did not show up.


    Two vice-deans came instead.


    After various speeches, at eleven o''clock, when President Li announced the selection of the ''Master Brother'' for the first semester of freshman year.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Master brother, Li Yuan!" The whole venue, within just a few seconds, erupted with a tsunami of cheering.


    Such enthusiasm.


    Not to mention President Li and the other leaders and teachers of the institutes, even Li Yuan himself was a bit flustered.


    "Could I really be this popular?" Li Yuan doubted.


    But what Li Yuan didn''t know.


    Last night.


    An Nong used only one argument to dispel any doubts among the Sixth Institute''s freshmen: "It''s not that Li Yuan wants to be master brother; do you think he, a martial arts prodigy, cares about a title like master brother?"


    "Without being the master brother, do you think the vice-deans and the dean would not cultivate him personally?"


    "Remember, we need Li Yuan!"


    "It''s not that Li Yuan needs our support, but that we need his help. Only if Li Yuan becomes master brother will he be willing to lead us to winnings for the next few years... Anyone opposing Li Yuan as master brother is not opposing him."


    "They are opposing all of us, the more than two hundred new students of the Sixth Institute. They want to cut off the financial lifeline of all the new students!"


    "They are our sworn enemies."


    "Now, I ask again, does anyone still oppose?"


    No one questioned anymore.


    Finally, today''s freshmen''s orientation ceremony saw such a frenzied scene.


    Amidst shouts calling for his unanimous election as ''Master Brother.''


    A grand, successful, and perfect orientation ceremony for the Sixth Institute''s new first-year students officially ended.


    ...


    In the afternoon, a drizzle began to fall, gently landing on the spiraling skeleton of the enormous black dragon.


    On the ninth floor, in President Li''s office.


    "You''re quite popular. Arriving on the last day, and yet everyone willingly voted for you to be master brother," President Li said to Li Yuan, with a smile that was not quite a smile.


    "You flatter me, President Li," Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    "No matter, we''re aware of your performance in the Xuanwu Tower yesterday," President Li smiled: "If not you, no one else could convince everyone."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    "This is a minor matter, your cultivation is what''s important," President Li smiled: "Are you just proud about creating a record in the entrance competition?"


    "I would not dare," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "Sit down, take your time," President Li said, his demeanor becoming like that of an ordinary elder.


    Li Yuan obediently sat down.


    "Your performance is indeed commendable, stronger than both Yan Jing and Jin Huguo," President Li laughed: "Those two, Yan Jing graduated a few years ago and is already a 29th-rank Prime Warrior, not inferior in strength to me."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Calculating it, this senior Yan Jing.


    Should only be around 30 years old now, having become a 29th-rank Prime Warrior, his cultivation speed was indeed terrifying.


    "The other, named Jin Huguo, is our school''s current top genius, and also the only student from our school who made it into the top hundred of the global university martial arts competition''s virtual battle this past February."


    "The only one?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised and couldn''t help saying: "Not a single one from the senior year students could catch up to Jin Huguo?"


    "Seniors in their fourth and fifth years of study have been cultivating for longer, and there are naturally those who are on par with, or even stronger than him," President Li explained.


    "However, the global university martial arts competition only allows students up to the third year to participate."


    "The global university martial arts competition consists of virtual battles and real combat."


    "Within virtual battles, you need at least a Fourth Level skill realm to qualify."


    "For real combat, you must at least be a Prime Warrior to participate," President Li said with some emotion: "Jin Huguo isn''t a Prime Warrior yet, so he could only partake in virtual battles last time."


    Li Yuan was speechless; it was as he suspected.


    Becoming a Prime Warrior before one''s senior year indeed seemed difficult.


    "As for seniors," President Li smiled, "the senior students can partake in the Human Race Martial Elite Battle."


    "It is a real combat competition for martial elites of all martial universities from the Seven Star Alliance, across the Seven Great Planets."


    "It is also the highest honor every martial arts university strives to achieve."

 Chapter 115: 109: The Dean becomes a Teacher (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    "Human Martial Elite Battle?" Li Yuan''s eyes shimmered slightly.


    He had heard of this competition, and it was very popular on the virtual network.


    There were many rumors,


    but mostly just text messages, as concrete videos of the battle were rarely searchable on the internet. It seemed like all videos were controlled and their distribution not allowed.


    "Only students of fourth and fifth year can participate?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "Haha, that''s not the case," President Li laughed. "In fact, both of these competitions set age restrictions based on September 1st, similar to the Blue Star Youth Ranking."


    "For example, to participate in the next Global University Martial Arts Competition, one must be born after September 1st, 2022."


    "For the next Human Martial Elite Battle, participants must be born after September 1st, 2020," President Li said with a smile. "Over the decades, a tradition has formed where freshman, sophomores, and juniors participate in the global competition."


    "And seniors and fifth-year students join the Human Martial Elite Battle."


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    This was a continuation of the current college entrance examination system, which used September 1st as a cutoff date for admission ages, not allowing either early or delayed admissions and strictly enforced.


    One could retake the exam for cultural universities,


    but to apply for Martial Arts University? You must be at least 17 years old and under 18.


    "In fact, even if you don''t get into Martial Arts University, as long as you meet the age requirement, you can still participate."


    "However, over the decades, there have been very few martial arts geniuses who rose to prominence without the cultivation of Martial Arts Universities, and gradually it has become a competition between the various Martial Arts Universities," President Li said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    A dark horse coming from the general populace? In most cases, that''s just some people''s fantasy.


    Only the strongest talents, combined with the best instructors and cultivation resources, can give rise to genuine geniuses.


    "Normally, the champion of the Human Martial Elite Battle is a fifth-year student, as having longer training naturally confers an advantage," said President Li. "However, there have been some extraordinary geniuses in history who won the championship early."


    "Really?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "Quite a few," President Li said with a smile. "In the sixty-plus-year history of the competition, we in Xia Country have had a genius who won the championship as a junior."


    "Who?"


    "Fang Hai," President Li said with a smile. "You might not have heard of him, but he is very famous among high-rank martial artists, reaching fifth-stage skills at the age of 16."


    "16 years old? Fifth-stage skills?" Li Yuan was dumbstruck.


    Was that even possible?


    "Unfortunately, his later achievements weren''t great," President Li shook his head. "He only became a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    Li Yuan was astonished, becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior was considered an underachievement?


    "You don''t understand."


    "He was taken as a direct disciple by Dongfang Ji at the age of 17 and was expected to surpass the Flying Heaven Level, even rivaling Dongfang Ji," President Li sighed. "Unfortunately, he encountered a bottleneck and remains at the Flying Heaven Level."


    Li Yuan inwardly lamented, comparison is the thief of joy.


    "So, don''t be arrogant."


    "Your talent in martial arts skills is indeed one of the best in the recent thirty-year history of Kunlun Martial University," President Li said. "But in the full two-hundred-year history, you wouldn''t even rank in the top hundred."


    "Top hundred?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    That low?


    "In the earliest days, there were no three top martial schools, and Xia Country''s most exceptional talents all stayed domestically," President Li said. "Understand?"


    Li Yuan got it.


    Just like himself, in terms of pure spear technique, he was indeed top-notch among this year''s students of Xia Country, but there were still a bunch who could compare with him.


    In the past, these top talents would enter the top five famous schools.


    But in recent decades, each year''s most powerful geniuses have almost always headed to the three top martial schools.


    Those who enter Kunlun Martial University are mostly second-tier students.


    Therefore, standing out at Kunlun Martial University was naturally easy.


    "Don''t dwell too much on the strength now. Starting early doesn''t mean you''ll reach the Flying Heaven Level. There are many who advance gradually," President Li said.


    "I still have high hopes for you to become a Flying Heaven Warrior," President Li said with a smile. "Li Yuan, you currently have two main goals."


    Li Yuan was all ears.


    This was an elder assigning a mission.


    "First, is to make it past the Fifth Mountain of the Kunlun Nine Mountains before next February," President Li said. "As long as you do, I''ll allow you to participate in next February''s Global University Martial Arts Competition virtual battle."


    "Making it past the Fifth Mountain means your skills have reached high-rank fourth stage."


    "Making it past the Sixth Mountain means your skills have reached fourth-stage perfection."


    "Making it past the Seventh Mountain means your skills have entered the fifth stage," President Li said seriously. "In theory, you could join the virtual battle with fourth-stage skills, but if your strength isn''t enough, it would just be embarrassing."


    "Normally, sophomores are allowed to compete," President Li said. "If you reach it, I''ll let you go as a freshman to broaden your horizons."


    "Making it past the Fifth Mountain? High-rank fourth stage?" Li Yuan murmured to himself, not finding it too difficult.


    After all, Li Yuan had set a goal for himself to reach the high-rank fourth-stage threshold by September.


    Only then could he claim the 20 million Blue Star Coins reward.


    "The second goal is even more important ¨C the Ten Schools'' Freshman Battle this October," President Li said. "Your goal is to come first, or at least make it into the top four."


    "The Ten Schools'' Freshman Battle?" Li Yuan was puzzled. "Which ten schools? Does it include our Xia Country''s five famous schools?"


    "Yes."


    "And five other great martial arts schools from Asia, like Sakura Country, Tianzhu Country... The united competition is set to take place in our Xia Country this year."


    "Each year, the freshmen from the ten top martial arts schools will fight, and the rewards are substantial," President Li said with a smile. "The top sixteen will receive a 20 million Blue Star Coins reward."


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    That was a lot.


    "Money is just one aspect."


    "The Seven Star Alliance has prepared a Heavenly Materials Treasure for each of the top four in our freshman battle, which is really what''s most important," President Li looked at Li Yuan. "These treasures mostly come from some mysterious Star Realms, and their value is hard to calculate with money."


    "If sold, they''d easily fetch several hundred million Blue Star Coins."


    "Each treasure is prepared specifically for your individual situation," President Li continued. "Do you understand?"


    "I understand," Li Yuan replied, holding his breath.


    Heavenly Materials Treasures? Anything entitled with these words was extraordinary indeed.


    The last time he encountered one was the ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal'' promised by Lord Yang of the Province.


    But the requirements were extremely demanding, and he couldn''t see hope of achieving it anytime soon.


    Conversely, the ''Ten Schools Freshman War'' in October is closer and more relaxed for me.


    "Don''t take it lightly."


    President Li reminded, "Just as our school has you, the other four famous schools in Xia Country also have some geniuses."


    "The other five famous schools in Asia also produce geniuses year after year... In short, it''s quite difficult to compete for the top four."


    "Alright, I''ll work hard," Li Yuan affirmed with a nod.


    A fighting spirit also kindled within him.


    This Freshman War of the Ten Schools seems to involve not just individual rewards but also the honor of the nation.


    Although the Seven Star Alliance was established over a hundred years ago, and the threat from foreign civilizations is significant, wars between the nations of Blue Star have ceased.


    But the competition during peacetime and the contest for national honor has never stopped.


    ...


    As Li Yuan communicated with President Li, he gained an increasingly thorough understanding of the various training systems of Martial Arts University.


    "You will personally teach me skills?" Li Yuan asked in surprise.


    "What''s the matter, am I not qualified?" President Li asked with a half-smile.


    "No, not at all," Li Yuan said with a laugh, "I''m just a bit overwhelmed. I thought I''d be following some other teacher."


    Li Yuan had learned this from the school''s introduction.


    The school''s curriculum is divided into four categories: general education, skill classes, cultivation classes, and practical combat classes.


    Each category has different teachers.


    The most important are the skill classes, followed by the practical combat classes.


    "Normally, a freshman would choose to follow one teacher for cultivation, for example, practicing spear techniques under a spear technique teacher."


    "Those who practice swords would follow a sword technique teacher," President Li explained.


    "Just for skills teachers, the school has more than three hundred."


    "A teacher might lead as few as twenty or thirty students but as many as nearly a hundred students."


    "Skills teachers are at least 26th level Prime Warriors, with skills perfected to ''Subtlety'' at the Fourth Stage. It''s quite easy for them to teach second and third stage students," President Li said with a smile. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    Does that mean there are at least three hundred 25th level or higher Prime Warriors at Kunlun Martial University?


    Such teaching resources are indeed formidable.


    "Once a student''s martial skills reach the Fourth Stage, ordinary teachers struggle to provide guidance," President Li continued, "They must be led by a vice president."


    "In our institute, there are nearly 1,100 students currently."


    "Including you, there are 52 students with skills at or above the Fourth Stage."


    "The weapon I practice is the spear, which is perfect to teach you," President Li said with a smile, "For the next while, you''ll be learning under me."


    "Okay," Li Yuan desired nothing more.


    Before coming here, Li Yuan had spoken with Wan Qinghe.


    High school teachers and Martial Arts University teachers are completely different concepts.


    University skills teachers are more akin to the ancient master-disciple relationship.


    So without any hesitation, Li Yuan stood up and respectfully performed a deep bow, saying, "Li Yuan greets the teacher."


    Teacher, a title much more intimate compared to president.


    "No need for such formalities, we''re not in the times of ancient master-disciple practices," President Li said as he stood up, reaching out to raise Li Yuan up.


    But Li Yuan moved more quickly, completing his deep bow.


    From beginning to end, without the slightest hesitation.


    "Why bother, we''re in modern society, don''t stick to these formalities," President Li said with a smile, yet unable to hide the joy on his face.


    Rituals might seem superficial, but they represent a kind of respect.


    In dealing with people and affairs, if one can''t even manage the superficial, how can they discuss what''s substantial?


    ...


    Two o''clock in the afternoon.


    In a huge martial arts room on the seventh floor of the Heilong Building, there were already eighteen students in martial arts uniforms waiting inside.


    Most of these students were practicing with long weapons, mainly long spears.


    "Teacher is here."


    "He''s arrived."


    "Looks like there''s someone with him too," more than ten students promptly took their seats.


    They turned to look at Li Yang entering the Martial Arts Room and Li Yuan following behind.


    "Take a seat here." Li Yang directed him to one of the empty seats.


    Li Yuan sat obediently, feeling the gazes of the group around him.


    With a thought, he activated his Divine Palace Inquiry, subsequently examining four individuals; all were Martial Artists, and there was even one Prime Warrior among them.


    "Let me introduce,"


    "The new student joining us today is freshman Li Yuan, the ''Big Brother'' of the new students in our Sixth Institute. Starting today, he''ll also be your fellow classmate," President Li said slowly, "Don''t underestimate him. In terms of physical quality, he has reached the entry rank."


    "As for his skill level, he''s at the intermediate rank of Fourth Stage, already placing him in the middle of the pack," President Li''s gaze swept over his students.


    "To reach the entry rank at seventeen? That''s impressive!"


    "His name is Li Yuan?"


    "I''ve heard about it, the entrance competition yesterday, it was Li Yuan who stood out, our Sixth Institute got first place and even broke the historical record of the competition."


    "Isn''t that more impressive than Jin Huguo?"


    "Is our Sixth Institute going to rise this year?" these senior classmates whispered among themselves, and the few who didn''t know quickly became aware of Li Yuan''s achievements from the day before.


    They cast friendly, even admiring glances at him.


    Li Yuan also promptly nodded in response, very courteously.


    He knew very well that these eighteen senior classmates, mostly fourth and fifth-year students, were almost destined to be Prime Warriors after a few more years of tempering their bodies post-graduation.


    Even in terms of martial skills alone, several were stronger than him.


    "Alright, everyone look this way and listen to the class."


    "Today, I''ll be talking about ''Stellar Spear Technique.'' Listen carefully," President Li deliberately looked at Li Yuan.

 Chapter 116: 110: The Pillar of Spirit (Extra for 22,000 monthly votes)

    "Martial Arts Skills reached the Fourth Level."


    "Whether it be the spear or the sword, many weapons are merely external; the most essential aspect is the heart," Li Yang said, "To practice any weapon, it must first resonate with the heart."


    "The spear seeks an unstoppable advance, unpredictable changes, and is best suited for attack. To unleash its maximum power, our spirit must also resonate with it."


    "The ''Stellar Spear Technique'' may seem most adept at defense, yet it''s the explosive offensive burst hidden within the defense that is the essence," Li Yang explained in great detail.


    Time ticked away, second by second.


    In reality, this wasn''t the first time Li Yang had explained the ''Stellar Spear Technique''.


    But because of Li Yuan, he deliberately chose the ''Stellar Spear Technique'' today and started from the beginning.


    From the spear technique''s concept to the breakdown of each move, and even the ultimate state of Unity of the five techniques.


    Every student listened intently.


    Not everyone practiced the spear, but as they were all training with long weapons, there were commonalities.


    "So that''s the ''Stellar Spear Technique''," Li Yuan listened, engrossed and captivated.


    Even though the secret manuals one gets access to also offer guidance from AI teachers, an AI teacher''s abilities are limited.


    Li Yang''s explanation was clearer.


    Half an hour later, it was time for each student to go up in turn and train with Li Yang in breaking down moves.


    Ultimately, a class lasting nearly two hours came to an end.


    "Reflect on this well after you return."


    "At this time next week, I will explain the Stick Technique," Li Yang said, "Class dismissed."


    "Li Yuan, interact more with your fellow students. In half an hour, come to my office," Li Yang instructed before directly leaving the Martial Arts Room.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    As soon as Li Yang stepped out of the classroom, the other dozen senior male and female students turned their attention to Li Yuan.


    "Junior Brother Li Yuan, where are you from? How did you train to be so freakishly strong?"


    "Junior Brother Li Yuan, do you have a girlfriend?"


    "Come on, junior brother, let''s connect on V-Chat," one of the senior sisters said directly, all of them showing great enthusiasm.


    Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed, replying to them one by one.


    "Li Yuan, I''m Yan He. Welcome," said the only Prime Warrior, a tall, slender young man with a smile.


    Immediately, the others quieted down, evidently regarding Yan He with high esteem.


    "Senior Brother Yan," Li Yuan nodded in response.


    "Li Yuan, Senior Brother Yan is the strongest among us, not only a Prime Warrior but also proficient in Subtle Technique for spear skills, ranking among the top ten fighters in the whole university," a senior named ''Shi Xiao'' from the third year introduced.


    "Prime Warrior? Subtle Technique level?" Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    Even Uncle Wan had not reached the Subtle Technique level.


    As Li Yuan had anticipated, within the top echelon of students at Kunlun Martial University, having undergone years of training and accumulation, there was indeed a group of formidable fighters.


    Yan He, who presented himself with an aura of scholarly grace, said with a smile, "Junior Brother Li Yuan has just arrived today and still needs to acquaint himself with the place. How about tomorrow night I host a banquet at my villa? We can all celebrate and, in doing so, welcome Junior Brother Li Yuan."


    "A banquet?" Li Yuan was surprised.


    A banquet in the school?


    "Ha-ha, Junior Brother Li Yuan, it''s a tradition," Senior Sister Shi Xiao explained with a smile. "Whenever there''s a new junior under the teacher, we hold a banquet, also as a way to build rapport."


    "Just provide some money, and the school''s logistics department will take care of everything."


    "We at Kunlun Martial University are not like ordinary martial arts universities," Senior Sister Shi Xiao added with a laugh. "Besides, Senior Brother Yan is a Prime Warrior who often ventures into the Star Realm and earns money at an incredible rate; he''s very wealthy, so don''t worry about saving these few tens of thousands for him." S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan instantly understood.


    In a sense, this group of senior brothers and sisters represented another circle, the pinnacle of Kunlun Martial University''s student body.


    They were not to be regarded as ordinary college students. Despite their current calm demeanor, once a fight broke out, each one''s martial strength would be overwhelming.


    Especially this Senior Brother Yan, with his proficiency in Subtle Technique, his power would be terrifying once unleashed.


    Upon graduation, his status would likely be much higher than Uncle Wan''s.


    After all, how old was he? He had a promising future and could even aspire to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "Alright."


    Li Yuan smiled, "Thank you for the invitation, Senior Brother Yan. I will definitely come tomorrow."


    This group of seniors would be his future network.


    "Good, we''ll wait for Junior Brother Li Yuan tomorrow," Yan He said with a smile. "If you have any questions about training in the future, feel free to ask us."


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded.


    Li Yuan wanted to make more friends.


    In the same way, none of these senior brothers and sisters were fools. A brief analysis would reveal the terrifying potential of Li Yuan.


    Fellowship among sect members was very precious.


    It was similar to the relationship between Uncle Wan and Vice President Zhao of the eighth institute; the two had a similar bond when they were younger.


    "By the way,"


    "Junior Brother Li Yuan, since you''ve just arrived today, if you have time, you might want to try the ''Pillar of Spirit''," Yan He suggested.


    "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."


    ...


    After saying goodbye to the new group of senior brothers and sisters he had just met, Li Yuan arrived at Li Yang''s office on time.


    The door was open.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan knocked on the doorframe, not entering directly.


    "You''ve arrived?" Li Yang smiled slightly, "Come in."


    Inside the office, besides Li Yang, there was also a tall, thin middle-aged man who smiled at Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan, this is your practical combat teacher, ''Jiang Lun''," Li Yang introduced, "A level 27 Prime Warrior with Subtle Technique, and also a spear technique instructor."


    "Starting from tomorrow, every three days, he will personally train with you for two hours," Li Yang said.


    "A practical combat teacher?" Li Yuan was shocked.


    Having a level 27 Prime Warrior to spar with him?


    Was this not overly lavish?


    Such a Prime Warrior was far stronger than Uncle Wan.


    "Isn''t practical training usually with sparring coaches?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    According to the induction at enrollment, ''practical combat classes'' for first-year students are usually arranged with Martial Artists ranked between level 15 and 20 as sparring partners.


    After all, there are only so many Prime Warrior instructors available, generally capable of providing broad guidance.


    "What, is that strange?" Li Yang asked with a smile. "Ordinary students, of course, would only get practical training with level ten-plus sparring partners. The very best might get a regular Prime Warrior by their fourth or fifth year."


    "But you''re different."


    "An S-level special training contract, less than fifty in the whole school, each one trained personally by a real teacher," Li Yang said. "Jiang Lun is an excellent teacher, and you will benefit much more from sparring with him than with a regular sparring partner."


    Li Yang chuckled, "Now hurry and greet Teacher Jiang Lun."


    "Teacher Jiang," Li Yuan greeted respectfully.


    "I heard from President Li," Jiang Lun said with a smile, "that you were at the Intermediate Fourth Level as soon as you enrolled. I''ve never taught such an impressive student before. I hope that my practical combat training can help you advance even further."


    Li Yuan nodded.


    He finally felt the special nature of the S-rank special training contract, to have such a powerful Prime Warrior as a sparring partner? If he were to pay for this, how much would it cost?


    A single sparring session would cost at least two hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.


    And that was only once every three days.


    Li Yuan arranged the training time with Jiang Lun.


    "Jiang Lun is a regular teacher after all, he can only train you once every three days."


    "Every day, I''ll arrange for another ordinary Prime Warrior to spar with you for practical combat training," Li Yang continued, "Practical combat training stimulates the body comprehensively."


    "Any duration is fine."


    "As long as your body can withstand it."


    "The effect will be much better than virtual battles, so from now on, try to reduce your fighting time on the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "Yes," Li Yuan said, shaking emotionally.


    Indeed, the effects of practical combat training were much better than virtual combat.


    The key question was, how many could afford it?


    Li Yang''s arrangement was equivalent to having several Prime Warriors rotating shifts to train him? It was incredibly lavish.


    "Let''s go."


    "Follow me to the Spirit Pillar," Li Yang said as he walked out of the office.


    Li Yuan hurriedly followed.


    Taking a flying vehicle, they soon arrived outside the Vermilion Bird Building.


    The Vermilion Bird Building was a public building for third, fourth, and fifth-year students, divided into three towers.


    Undoubtedly.


    Named after the large plaza outside the building, where a huge skeletal statue of a bird creature, with wings spanning more than two hundred meters, stood.


    It was simply awe-inspiring.


    "A Fire System creature beyond the Flying Heaven Level?" Li Yuan gasped as he looked at the enormous skeleton.


    "Yes," Li Yang said, "It is a Fire System avian creature beyond the Flying Heaven Level that Dongfang Ji had slain before donating its body to the university, which was eventually placed here as a memorial."


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    He had read the introduction to Kunlun Martial University; just the openly displayed skeletal remains of Star Realm Creatures beyond the Flying Heaven Level amounted to three.


    As for those of the Flying Heaven Level? There were more than ten.


    These were both a warning to the junior students and a display of Kunlun''s glorious accomplishments.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    They both landed and walked towards the Vermilion Bird Building, with many students along the way greeting President Li.


    President Li responded to each one.


    Shortly thereafter.


    President Li, leading Li Yuan, reached the eastern tower of the Vermilion Bird Building after passing several powerful guards.


    They headed straight underground.


    A flash of light passed through the stairs.


    Appearing before Li Yuan was a huge underground plaza, over ten meters in height and spanning several thousand square meters.


    The lights were bright.


    On the plaza, there were as many as a hundred students scattered in different areas, all with their eyes closed.


    Many of them had contorted faces, seemingly enduring immense pain.


    There were also quite a few with sweat dripping from their foreheads.


    "This?" Li Yuan held his breath as he watched this scene, his gaze instinctively drawn to the giant bronze pillar at the far end of the plaza.


    About five meters tall, with a diameter of roughly two meters.


    Bronze-colored!


    Not the green of ancient bronze, but a shiny gold. Its surface was engraved with countless intricate and complex secret runes, giving it a mysterious and distinguished air.


    At the same time, though a hundred meters away, Li Yuan could still feel the mysterious spiritual pressure emanating from that bronze pillar, making him slightly uncomfortable.


    "Teacher, is this the Spirit Pillar described in the school''s introduction?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "That''s right!"


    "The Spirit Pillar is Kunlun Martial University''s most prized treasure and also unique among the top five prestigious schools of Xia Country," Li Yang said with a hint of pride in his voice, "This is the most important gift Dongfang Ji gave to our Kunlun Martial University."


    "Thanks to the Spirit Pillar, for decades, Kunlun has been able to slightly overshadow Kyoto Martial University," Li Yang said smilingly.


    Li Yuan nodded in amazement.


    The top five prestigious schools of Xia Country, with Kyoto Martial University located in the capital, held a unique position because it received the most funding.


    But Kunlun Martial University was no less prestigious and it seemed even stronger!


    Why? According to many sources, it was because of the Spirit Pillar that Dongfang Ji had presented.


    "Go give it a try and see how far you can go," Li Yang said with a chuckle.


    "Yes," Li Yuan said, descending the steps and walking towards the great bronze pillar in the distance.


    For the first twenty meters, it was easy, not too uncomfortable.


    But then.


    As Li Yuan approached within fifty meters of the bronze pillar, stepping over the specially marked ''caution line'' on the ground.


    "Hum~"


    It was as if he had stepped into a special domain as an invisible spiritual pressure enveloped Li Yuan instantly.


    Bang~as if a large hammer had smashed down on Li Yuan''s consciousness.


    Fortunately!


    Li Yuan''s spiritual power was exceptionally strong.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed in shock, "Such strong spiritual pressure."


    "Bang~" "Bang~" This spiritual pressure wasn''t a one-off but washed over Li Yuan''s spirit like a tide, continuously assaulting and increasing the mental pressure he endured.


    "For your first attempt, to be so eager and still manage to endure easily, your spiritual power is indeed very strong," Li Yang appeared beside Li Yuan, smiling, "Do you understand the importance of the Spirit Pillar now?"


    "To temper and strengthen spiritual power?" Li Yuan spoke softly.


    "Exactly!"


    Li Yang nodded, "Just like physical training, after countless rigorous sessions, strength and speed naturally improve."


    "The same goes for spiritual power."


    "The Spirit Pillar is meant to exhaust martial artists'' spiritual power, making the spirit continually fatigued," Li Yang whispered, "Then when the spirit recovers, the spiritual power naturally becomes stronger."

 Chapter 117: 111: The Amazing Treatment of S-Class (Request for Monthly Pass)

    Li Yuan listened to Li Yang''s words and looked towards the Pillar of Spirit.


    This method of cultivating spiritual power was indeed unique.


    Previously, when Li Yuan was in Jiang City, he had never heard of such a thing.


    After all, spiritual power isn''t visible or tangible like physical strength, and it''s not easy to enhance.


    "Spiritual power is very important."


    "You must have a deep understanding of this," Li Yang said, "The stronger the spiritual power, the better control over the body and the easier it is to cultivate skills."


    Li Yuan nodded lightly; the speed at which his skills improved.


    Apart from his natural comprehension, the rapid increase in his spiritual power was the most important reason, without a doubt.


    With strong spiritual power, perception, calculation, and understanding capabilities would continuously improve.


    In a way, it''s like enhancing one''s comprehension.


    "But it''s difficult to improve spiritual power," Li Yang explained to Li Yuan, "The first method is the cultivation of the flesh. The body nourishes the spirit; the stronger the body, the stronger the spirit it will nourish."


    "Like 19th Rank Martial Artists, their spiritual power is at least of the 17th or 18th Rank standard."


    "The second method is using treasures to nurture the spirit, from the most common Spirit Nourishing Potions to the precious Divine-Nurturing Spring, and even some Heavenly Materials Treasures like Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass, Sweet Spirit Core Crystal, and so on," Li Yang said, "The thing is, low-level medicinal effects are mediocre and costly, while the good Heavenly Materials Treasures are not only expensive but also scarce."


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Sweet Spirit Core Crystal? It sounded somewhat similar to Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, at least they both include ''Marrow Crystal'' in their names.


    As for Spirit Nourishing Potion? Li Yuan had heard about it from his uncle Li Changzhou.


    If one uses the basic ones, it''s 30,000 Blue Star Coins a dose.


    If it''s a First Rank Spirit Nourishing Potion, it''s even more expensive ¨C 100,000 Blue Star Coins each, and at least three bottles per month, costing several million Blue Star Coins a year. Only long-term use for several years would significantly help one advance to a Prime Warrior.


    "The third method is the Mind Method," Li Yang continued, "It''s difficult to cultivate spiritual power because spirits are ethereal and it''s difficult to exert pressure on the consciousness."


    "If there is an unsurpassable strong being beyond the Flying Heaven level, or some Flying Heaven Warriors who are proficient in this method and are willing to leave a trace of their spiritual imprint in the spirit, constantly oppressing it, this can have a polishing effect," Li Yang said with a smile, "It''s just, to do this without damaging weaker warriors and still leave the spiritual imprint is very difficult, requiring at least half a day each time."


    "Over time, the imprints will gradually dissipate, at most lasting two or three months."


    "The imprints must be consistently applied over a long period."


    "Unless one is a very close relative, or an extremely favored direct disciple, who could ask those top-level strong beings to go to such trouble?" Li Yang said, shaking his head.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod.


    So there was such a method of spiritual cultivation in human civilization, the Mind Method?


    Too bad the requirements were too high; it was doomed not to be widely utilized. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Of course."


    "Legend has it, there is an even more powerful method than the Mind Method, known as the Visualization Method," Li Yang said with a smile, "It is said to have been brought over from some extremely strong Foreign Civilizations, but it has never been confirmed. I''ve only heard of it, so I don''t understand the specifics."


    Li Yuan maintained a calm exterior while his heart stirred with a tumult of surprise.


    The Visualization Method?


    The "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" that he was practicing seemed to be the Visualization Method.


    However, the practice was very demanding.


    Li Yuan had tried practicing solely with the spoken mantra but found it useless.


    He had to concentrate his spirit in the ''Jade Platform of the Great Sun'' within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace to enter the state of visualization, which killed the idea of passing it on to his family members.


    "The Pillar of Spirit at my Kunlun Martial University."


    "You can think of it as a weakened version, a wide-ranging ''Mind Method.'' Although its effects are not as strong as the specialized Mind Method, as long as one is within the influence of the Pillar of Spirit, they can be polished," Li Yang said with some pride, "Across the entire Blue Star, only Starfire University and Kunlun Martial University possess a Pillar of Spirit."


    "Even Starry Sky Martial University and Blackstone Martial University don''t have it," Li Yang said.


    "Impressive," Li Yuan remarked sincerely.


    Cultivation resources would eventually be exhausted.


    But treasures like the Pillar of Spirit, which could be passed down from generation to generation, no wonder it''s known as the number one treasure of Kunlun Martial University, a true cornerstone of the legacy.


    "Okay, you must have mostly adapted by now," Li Yang said, "Keep moving forward and try, let''s see how far you can go now."


    "There are nine layers in total. The pressure is strongest in the ninth layer, weakest in the first layer."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded his head.


    Bearing the strong spiritual pressure, he began to walk step by step towards the Pillar of Spirit.


    Despite the short distance of fifty meters, the area was divided into nine layers according to the warning lines on the ground.


    Most students remained in the first three layers, and even then, they were in pain.


    "Da~"


    "Da~" Li Yuan took steps deeper into the Pillar, walking very slowly, feeling the intangible spiritual pressure emanating from the Pillar of Spirit.


    It was as if invisible hammers were striking him, with the force growing stronger and stronger.


    "Li Yuan''s physical quality might be weak, but reaching the third layer should be about right," President Li thought to himself.


    As a 29th Rank Prime Warrior, he could vaguely sense the strength of Li Yuan''s spiritual power.


    Very soon,


    Li Yuan entered into the second layer with ease. Without waiting for Li Yang to react much, Li Yuan quickly stepped into the third layer.


    Still, his expression did not change!


    He continued to advance toward the fourth layer.


    "The fourth layer?" Li Yang''s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "Normally, one would need the spiritual power of the 19th Rank to set foot in this area."


    "Can Li Yuan handle it?"


    After just over a dozen seconds, Li Yuan, bearing the immense spiritual pressure, stepped into the fourth layer.


    Then!


    He continued towards the fifth layer. This sight shocked Li Yang, and it also drew the attention of many students cultivating their ''spiritual power'' at the Pillar of Spirit.

 Chapter 118: 111: The Amazing Treatment of S-Class (Request for Monthly Pass)_2

    "The Fifth Layer area? Who is he?"


    "The Fifth Layer, that''s already the requirement for a Prime Warrior!"


    "I sensed his blood and breath, seems very weak, is his spiritual power that monstrous?" Some returning students wondered.


    They didn''t have Li Yuan''s Mind Spirit Divine Palace, which made it hard for them to accurately judge someone''s Life Level.


    But as martial artists enhance their body and spirit, their perception sharpens, allowing them to make out quite a bit despite the vagueness.


    "Him? I saw him yesterday in the V chat group, seems like a freshman, named Li Yuan."


    "I remember now, he broke Senior Brother Jin''s admission record."


    "Li Yuan?"


    "Must be him, Dean Li Yang accompanied him here." Many students started whispering among themselves.


    Even, quite a few students took out their smartwatches to start recording.


    These students were secretly astounded.


    Great skills could be explained by good comprehension, but without physical enhancement, it''s usually hard for spiritual power to rise rapidly.


    Not far away.


    "The Fifth Layer." Li Yuan was beginning to struggle, his face betraying a trace of pain.


    Indeed!


    If it were purely the intensity of spiritual power, Li Yuan would have had difficulty even in the Fourth Layer area.


    However, like the same body, the stronger the skills, the more terrifying the strength displayed.


    Spiritual power is similar; at the same level of spiritual power, if the willpower differs in strength, the performance will be utterly different.


    It''s like one person consuming various Heavenly Materials Treasures, both body and spiritual power being of the 19th Level.


    The other is one who reached the 19th Level through arduous and painstaking cultivation.


    The data looks the same for both, but if faced with horrible torture, can the duration of their endurance be the same?


    Willpower is akin to the ''skill'' of the spiritual power.


    Li Yuan, relentlessly practicing the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" day and night, enduring repeated hellish torments, had long since tempered his will to an extremely high level.


    Naturally, he could concentrate his spiritual power to a terrifying degree.


    One step


    And another step.


    Finally, Li Yuan stood steadily at the end of the Fifth Layer area, his face and demeanor faintly twisted.


    The tremendous pain caused by the strong spiritual pressure made Li Yuan''s entire head buzz.


    "A freshman?"


    "He has rushed to the Fifth Layer area and is still standing firmly, which means he still has some strength left."


    "This monstrous? Strong skills and such terrifying spiritual power?"


    "The Fifth Layer area, doesn''t it mean his spirit can compare with a Prime Warrior?" And this scene shocked the other students.


    "Prime Warrior level?" Li Yang''s eyes also shone: "Is it the will?"


    "No wonder he could endure the thrice monthly Spirit Marrow Cleansing."


    "This willpower is truly unique." Li Yang felt slightly emotional in his heart: "Many high-level Prime Warriors probably don''t have such willpower."


    Among the Prime Warriors, those between levels 20-22 are often called junior Prime Warriors.


    Levels 23-25 are called mid-level Prime Warriors.


    Levels 26-28 are known as high-level Prime Warriors.


    A 29th Level Prime Warrior is a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    ...Five minutes later.


    Li Yuan, step by step, retreated from the Fifth Layer area back to the First Layer area.


    His breathing and expression returned to calm, as he came back to Li Yang''s side.


    "Teacher, your student is incompetent, only managed to reach the Fifth Layer area." Li Yuan said seemingly earnestly: "I couldn''t make it to the Ninth Layer area."


    Incompetent?


    The Ninth Layer area?


    Li Yang''s mouth twitched, and he couldn''t help saying: "Alright, stop flattering yourself, I only reached the Ninth Layer area after becoming a 29th Level Prime Warrior... You are quite young, already very outstanding."


    "Teacher only reached the Ninth Layer area?" Li Yuan was surprised.


    "This Pillar of Spirit, usually only warriors of the 13th Level and above dare attempt it, otherwise it''s easy to sustain severe mental damage, hurting the psyche." Li Yang said: "But it''s mainly for high-level Prime Warriors to temper their spirit."


    "For a Top Grade Prime Warrior like me, it has very little effect."


    "As for Flying Heaven Warriors, it''s completely useless." Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help nodding, so that''s how it was.


    That''s right.


    Martial Arts University, in essence, is a training base for martial artists; the Pillar of Spirit is indeed quite suitable.


    If it were greatly beneficial even to Flying Heaven Warriors, it might easily lead to trouble.


    "Let''s go out first." Li Yang said, turning around to walk outside.


    The two walked out of the Vermilion Bird Building all the way to the empty plaza outside.


    "Did you feel the flaw in the Pillar of Spirit?" Li Yang asked as they walked.


    ```


    "Exhausting the spirit too heavily?" Li Yuan pondered.


    During the session he just had, he had felt slightly tired mentally.


    "Right," Li Yang nodded, "Just like exercising the body, if you train too hard at once, your whole body will be sore for several days." Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "A First Rank martial artist, if they stay for two hours at a time, needs at least three to five days to recover; during this period, their mental exhaustion will even affect their normal cultivation," Li Yang said, "That''s why it needs to be paired with Spirit Nourishing Potions."


    "To speed up the recovery of spiritual power."


    "Even so, most students, the majority, only go to the Pillar of Spirit to cultivate once a week," Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood why there were so few students at the Pillar of Spirit earlier.


    "However."


    "As an S-tier special training contract member, every month, the school will provide you with a Divine-Nurturing Spring," Li Yang said, "Each one, if sold outside, is worth at least a million Blue Star Coins."


    "Its efficacy is much stronger than that of a First Rank Spirit Nourishing Potion, with even fewer side effects."


    "Divine-Nurturing Spring?" Li Yuan was secretly astonished; he had only heard about it online.


    Adding it up, just this one cultivation resource alone was worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins a year.


    Truly extravagant!


    Without hesitating more than three seconds, Li Yuan directly said, "Teacher, can this be exchanged for other cultivation resources? I don''t really need it."


    "Such as those that assist in cultivating the body."


    "Not needed?" It was Li Yang''s turn to be stunned.


    "Teacher, my spiritual talent is high enough, and the Pillar of Spirit helps me very little," Li Yuan said, "Right now, what''s most important for me is to enhance my physical quality."


    Divine-Nurturing Spring?


    In terms of effect, it definitely can''t compete with the Visualization Method in restoring the mental and physical state.


    Pure waste.


    "The school has already prepared for you a High Origin Spirit Spring each month for your physical cultivation,"


    "Its effects are equivalent to five or six Essence Pills of Origin Power, and its value is comparable to Divine-Nurturing Spring, but it puts less strain on the body," Li Yang frowned, "However, if you exchange it for two High Origin Spirit Springs, will you take one every half a month? I''m afraid your body won''t be able to take it."


    He knew Li Yuan was making sense.


    With Li Yuan''s demonstrated talent for spiritual power and willpower, he basically doesn''t need to rely on many external substances, unless they are Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    "High Origin Spirit Spring?" thought Li Yuan; he had seen it before in the ''mall'' of Starfire Martial Hall.


    But he couldn''t afford to buy it.


    Too expensive!


    Thinking carefully, Kunlun Martial University had indeed prepared many cultivation resources for him.


    Seeing that Li Yuan had fallen into thought.


    "There is one way you could try," Li Yang suddenly said.


    "Please tell me, teacher," Li Yuan responded without even lifting his head.


    "Use the Washing Marrow Essence more often, four times, even five times," Li Yang stared at Li Yuan, speaking slowly, "However, you''ve used the Washing Marrow Essence before and should be clear about it."


    "It is essentially scraping bone to heal poison and a thorough cleaning of various impurities from the body in various places."


    "Using it consecutively in a short period of time, the pain becomes increasingly exaggerated," Li Yang sighed, "Using it three times a month, for you to be able to persist at your age would be incredible."


    Li Yuan had listened in astonishment; Washing Marrow Essence, four times a month?


    Five times?


    After a long silence, just when Li Yang thought Li Yuan was going to give up.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan said, "Teacher, I want to try!"


    For some reason.


    After saying those words, Li Yuan felt a burning sensation in his lower body...


    ...


    After discussing with Li Yang for half the day, Li Yuan finally knew the truth about the ''Extreme Cultivation Method'' that Teacher Fan Jin had given him.


    But in the end, Li Yuan had persuaded Li Yang.


    Two portions of High Origin Spirit Spring each month.


    To be trialed for a month.


    If after one month, Li Yuan couldn''t keep up, they would switch to a cultivation plan of one Divine-Nurturing Spring and one High Origin Spirit Spring each month.


    ...


    At night, Li Yuan returned to his villa.


    Entered the virtual network, Kunlun Space.


    "Following Teacher Li''s advice."


    "Apart from the regular cultivation of the body and refinement of spiritual power, if I want to improve my skill quickly, I need to study more Second Rank Spear Techniques," Li Yuan clicked on the light screen, "And consider more opinions from my predecessors."


    Martial Path Knowledge Net.


    This is a global network shared by all Martial Arts Universities, where every university student can log in to learn, free of charge, a certain number of Martial Arts Secret Tomes.


    Soon, Li Yuan saw the privileges he had as an S-tier student.


    "Free access to study fifty Second Rank Secret Manuals, including Skill Secret Manuals, Origin Power Manuals, Spirit Usage Secret Manuals..."


    "Free access to study three Third Rank Secret Manuals."


    ```

 Chapter 119: 112 Cultivation Years, The Arrival of Actual Combat (Requesting Monthly Pass)

    Virtual network, Martial Path knowledge space.


    "Can I choose so many secret manuals?" Li Yuan looked at the massive number of secret manuals available for him to learn.


    "Indeed, as long as anyone attends Martial Arts University, they can get a large number of cultivation resources distributed for free by the nation." Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Outside, if one wanted to purchase a Second Rank secret manual, it would cost at least a million Blue Star Coins.


    Even in the Starfire Martial Hall, it would cost a million Cultivation Points.


    In the university? Free to learn.


    "Let''s have a look." Li Yuan casually clicked, and saw the massive secret manuals quickly transform into books one by one.


    Their covers sparkled with light.


    The secret manuals were mainly divided into four categories: skills, Origin Power, spiritual power, and physical quality.


    But Li Yuan had already discussed it with Teacher Li Yang and had some understanding of it.


    Origin Power Manuals and Physical Quality Manuals are for Second Stage Prime Warriors to cultivate.


    As for himself now? Choosing a few Spear Technique Manuals to learn and comprehend the skills would be enough.


    Spiritual Secret Manuals? To cultivate those, one would at least need to wait until reaching spiritual power level 20.


    "Skill secret manuals." Li Yuan clicked, and the light screens of the surrounding secret manuals flickered again.


    What was presented were Spear Technique Manuals, Saber Technique Manuals, Sword Technique Manuals... there were secret manuals for all eighteen types of weapons, all at least Second Rank secret manuals.


    "These secret manuals, were they all created by generations of human Martial Artists over hundreds of years?" Li Yuan was secretly astonished, "Many secret manuals have been contributed for free to the arsenal by powerful Martial Artists."


    Some secret manuals were free, while others required payment.


    However, for Li Yuan, there was no difference, even if he had to pay, it was within the free allowance of Grade S.


    It was as if Kunlun Martial University was paying on his behalf.


    "Although there are 50 secret manual slots, the teacher said not to bite off more than you can chew." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Right now, selecting four Spear Technique Manuals is enough."


    Li Yang had already listed the Spear Technique Manuals that Li Yuan was to learn next.


    "Cloud Commanding Spear Technique," "True Flame Spear Technique," "Meteor Spear Technique," "Golden Cleaving Spear Technique." Li Yuan quickly clicked to check the numbers and names.


    There were many accumulated secret manuals, so many of the names were the same, only the numbers were different.


    Confirm purchase!


    "First-year student ''Li Yuan,'' your Second Rank secret manual free learning quota has been reduced by 4, remaining quota 46." The system''s voice had already sounded, "The Skill Secret Manuals you just purchased have been sent to your personal space."


    "A reminder once again!"


    "Secret manuals are only permitted for your personal understanding and learning, and are strictly forbidden to be disseminated privately; severe penalties will be imposed if discovered." The system''s voice stated.


    Li Yuan smiled and didn''t take it too seriously.


    "Begin cultivation." With a thought, Li Yuan returned to his personal space to start learning the four newly acquired Spear Technique Manuals.


    First, learn the "Cloud Commanding Spear Technique."


    Li Yuan was clear about the purpose of Teacher Li Yang having him learn the Spear Technique.


    If the skill level was only Second Stage or Third Stage, pondering a Second Rank Spear Technique would be enough; at this time, specialization was most important.


    Learning too much could easily confuse the core essence of one''s Spear Technique, leading to loss outweighing gain.


    If one reached the Fourth Level, especially someone like Li Yuan who had stepped into the intermediate ranks of Fourth Level, in ancient times, that would qualify them to be called a "Spear Technique Master," enough to start a school.


    Since he was gradually becoming clear about his own path, it was time to start "integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools."


    One should learn more Spear Techniques to incorporate into oneself.


    "According to the teacher, to break through to the Fifth Stage, he studied over thirty Second Rank Spear Technique Manuals in the past." Li Yuan secretly said, "Only by absorbing the essence, was he able to achieve Unity of Heaven and Man and step into the Fifth Stage."


    Unity of Heaven and Man? Tai Xuan.


    Li Yuan still didn''t quite understand.


    But with successive generations of predecessors summarizing successful paths, Li Yuan just needed to follow in their footsteps step by step.


    Shortcuts? Many apparent shortcuts are actually cliffs at the end.


    ...


    While Li Yuan was starting to learn the new Spear Techniques, in the residential area for students of the Third Martial Hall.


    In one of the villas, the lights were bright


    The nearly thousand square meter Martial Arts Room below, where the ground and the four walls were all made of special materials strong enough to withstand the wanton burst of a Nineteenth Level Martial Artist without being damaged.


    At the moment, a lean young man in a black Martial Path uniform holding a combat saber was practicing his Saber Technique. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" Streaks of saber light flickered, as the black-clad young man moved at lightning speed, unleashing incredibly fearsome saber light that was agile and dreamlike, stirring one''s heart.


    His casual bursts of speed exceed 50 meters per second, forming terrifying afterimages in this cramped space.


    When he was seriously practicing.


    Suddenly.


    "Ding~ Master, Long Ya is calling you." The voice of the Martial Arts Room''s assistant AI sounded.


    Whoosh!


    The black-clad young man stopped, and the strands of saber light that filled the entire Martial Arts Room gradually dissipated.


    He was just pondering his own self-created Saber Technique.


    "Answer." The black-clad young man spoke in a deep voice.


    Hum~


    Light converged, forming a video projection in front of the black-clad young man, and a woman dressed in a white Martial Path uniform appeared in the video.


    "Little Ya." The black-clad young man showed a smile, "What''s the matter?"


    "Senior Brother Jin, do you know about Li Yuan''s matter this afternoon?" The white-clad woman Long Ya had a hint of urgency on her face.


    "Li Yuan?" The black-clad young man paused, "The one who surpassed me in yesterday''s enrollment competition?"


    "Yes, that''s him." Long Ya hurriedly replied.


    "What happened this afternoon?" The black-clad young man displayed a smile, appearing very composed. His appearance wasn''t considered handsome, but he had a square face which gave a sense of justice and security to others.


    He was Jin Huguo, the number one talent of Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    Also a Martial Arts prodigy with a considerable reputation within Xia Country.


    He had just started his junior year, and his expertise had already reached the level of Subtlety; even his Physical Quality had reached Level 19.


    "This afternoon, at the Vermilion Bird Building''s Pillar of Spirit." The white-clad woman stared at Jin Huguo, "Principal Li Yang took Li Yuan there, and on his first attempt, Li Yuan managed to reach the Fifth Layer region and stayed for several minutes, even withdrawing calmly afterward."

 Chapter 120: 112 Cultivation Years, The Arrival of Actual Combat (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2

    ```


    "Oh? The Fifth Layer region? His spiritual power has reached the level of a Prime Warrior?" Jin Huguo''s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "He''s just a freshman, even if his physical quality is perfect, right now he can be at most level 10 at best."


    "This junior brother is indeed impressive," Jin Huguo remarked with a sense of admiration, "Perhaps, in the future, he might be much more formidable than me."


    With his strength and insight, Jin Huguo was very clear about what Li Yuan''s skills and spiritual power signified.


    The future held infinite possibilities.


    "Senior brother, you really don''t care?" The woman in white couldn''t help but ask as she looked at Jin Huguo.


    "Care about what? Having one more genius junior brother is a good thing," Jin Huguo smiled, "Instead, I''m worried that him being so dazzling as a freshman, without any competitors, might cause him to lose his way and become degenerate."


    "This Li Yuan is so formidable, he might threaten your position in the school," the woman in white finally spoke her mind outright.


    Jin Huguo looked at the woman in white, feeling a desire to laugh inside.


    "Long Ya, how can you ask such a silly question?" Jin Huguo shook his head, "Not to mention that he''s a freshman and I''m a junior, there''s no direct competition."


    "Even if there was competition, so what?" Jin Huguo was quite indifferent, "It''s just competition within the school."


    "The number one talent at Kunlun Martial University? Does such a title sound impressive? Is it useful?"


    The woman in white was stunned.


    Useless?


    "Ever since Starfire University and Starry Sky University were established, our Kunlun Martial University has been declining for decades," Jin Huguo shook his head and said, "In last year''s global collegiate martial arts tournament, only I managed to break into the top 100 in the virtual battle."


    "Actual combat, even more so, we didn''t have a single person qualifying for participation, how embarrassing was that?" Jin Huguo said, shaking his head.


    "Senior brother, you can''t be blamed for that," the woman in white hurriedly said, "Last year, you were just a sophomore and managed to break into the virtual battle top 100, triumphing over most senior students from the three famous schools, which was already dazzling enough."


    "Actual combat? In Xia Country''s five prestigious universities, last year only two managed to qualify for the main global collegiate martial arts tournament, and they were both eliminated in the first round."


    "For the upcoming tournament, you will certainly be able to participate in actual combat, and there''s totally a possibility of reaching the top 20," the woman in white said with an air of admiration, "That would be historic."


    Jin Huguo smiled. The top 20?


    As difficult as it was, he could only say there was some hope.


    "Not to mention that our human civilization needs more and stronger martial artists."


    "Just speaking of the present," Jin Huguo smiled and said, "If this Li Yuan is strong enough to stand out in the global collegiate martial arts tournament and make a name for Kunlun Martial University, I will only have respect for him."


    "As for some school position, it''s all clouds passing by."


    "It''s not like we are competing to be the principal, we will graduate sooner or later," Jin Huguo laughed, "From another perspective, before this, the school leaders have been placing all their bets on just me, I also feel quite a bit of pressure."


    "Having one more person to share the pressure, why not be happy about it?"


    Long Ya opened her mouth but said nothing.


    She could see that Jin Huguo genuinely didn''t care.


    "In a way, I find one Li Yuan not enough," Jin Huguo said, shaking his head, "If every class could have twenty or thirty like Li Yuan, then our Kunlun Martial University might be able to regain its glory and once again become the number one martial arts university on Blue Star."


    Long Ya couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    The number one martial arts university on Blue Star? That was history from fifty years ago.


    After hanging up the video call.


    "Li Yuan?" Jin Huguo murmured to himself, smiled, and then continued pondering over his Sword Technique. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    The night of July 4th.


    Including Li Yuan, nineteen elite disciples under Li Yang gathered at ''Yan He''s villa.


    The villa was very large, more than ample for a banquet of dozens of people.


    After the welcome ceremony had ended.


    "Junior brother, truly no girlfriend?" Shi Xiao, a senior sister holding a wine glass, asked with a teasing smile.


    "Senior sister,"


    "I just want to concentrate on the Martial Path," Li Yuan smiled, having already sensed the senior sister''s intentions.


    He had also inquired into the senior sister''s Life Level¡ª15.8.


    Quite formidable.


    Li Yuan knew that powerful martial artists were full of energy and most believed in themselves rather than others.


    Therefore, their ideas on many aspects were completely different from ordinary people.


    Too bad, not only was Li Yuan uninterested.


    Even if he were interested, it was useless; he had just undergone a ''bathing'' service of Life Essence Purification during the day and needed to rest well upon returning.


    ...


    After this welcoming banquet.


    Life, since his enrollment, had completely returned to calm, and, in a way, Li Yuan''s university martial arts student career had officially begun.


    In the common knowledge class attended by students from the Sixth Institute.


    "Why, when you were taking your college entrance exams, were there requirements for your cultural courses?" the common knowledge teacher, who was a Prime Warrior, asked in a resounding voice, "Martial Artists are not just brute warriors with blind fighting power; they should be thinkers as well."


    "Life Evolution is not just about developing muscles or the explosive power of Origin Power; it should also be about the evolution of the brain," the teacher said, his gaze sharp as he swept over every student, "You must know for whom and why you fight."


    "Next, I will talk about the history of modern Martial Path."


    "In the most ancient times, our Seven Great Planets did not know of each other''s existence."


    "Two thousand years ago, Star Bridges appeared, and including our Blue Star, the Six Great Planets were able to swiftly cross the Starry Sky through the Star Bridges and reach Feixing, only then discovering one another''s existence."


    "Despite being located in different Starry Skies, the Seven Great Planets were all inhabited by humans¡ªa very eerie coincidence¡ªand the appearance of the Star Bridges was also shrouded in mystery, with many speculations that to this day remain an enigma."


    "And Feixing is the most mysterious and vast planet among the Seven Great Planets."


    "From that point on, the era of the Star Bridges was ushered in, and later, that year was designated as Year One of the Seven Stars era."


    ```

 Chapter 121: 112 Cultivation Years, The Arrival of Actual Combat (Requesting Monthly Pass)_3

    ```


    "This expanse of starry sky is also named the ''Seven Star Sea''," the general knowledge teacher explained.


    Li Yuan, An Nong, Gu Qianghan, and the others were not listening very attentively.


    Because these were all common knowledge.


    They were mostly covered in the middle school textbooks.


    "In 1420, the Star Bridge collapsed, evolving into the Six Grand Star Realms, also the original Six Grand Star Realms," the teacher continued, "But through the Star Realm, we can still reach Feixing."


    "Since then, the Cosmic Origin Power appeared, and the life on the Seven Great Planets generally became far stronger... Now the dawn of the Martial Path is just beginning."


    "But it wasn''t until 1609 that our human civilization gave birth to the first Prime Warrior," the teacher said, "From that time on, we were sure that Origin Power, aside from existing in the Heavenly Materials and Treasures, was also present in the cosmic starry sky and earth."


    "From then on, the Martial Path rose, and human civilization truly began Life Evolution."


    "By 1724, human civilization had produced the first Flying Heaven Warrior..."


    "In 1746, the first Star Realm emerged over Tianhai Star, and a multitude of Star Realm Creatures poured out, causing over thirty million deaths. It took the combined effort of many planets to finally suppress the Star Realm entrance completely."


    "That was when the nightmare began."


    "Then came the second, the third Star Realm... At that time, only the First Level Star Realm, Second Level Star Realm appeared; there were no Flying Heaven Level Star Realm creatures yet." S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "In the year 1766 of the Seven Stars, the first Third Level Star Realm appeared on Feixing," the teacher''s voice grew heavy as the corresponding information also appeared on the classroom''s holographic screen.


    "Fire Demon, the first Flying Heaven Level Alien Race creature to appear, ravaged tens of thousands of kilometers, slaughtering over eight million humans, before it was finally killed through the joint efforts of several Flying Heaven Warriors."


    "Then the second head, the third... a decade-long Star Realm war, nearly causing Feixing to fall, with more than six billion humans dead!" The teacher''s voice revealed a hint of sorrow.


    Even though it had been hundreds of years.


    Even though this great catastrophe occurred in the distant Feixing, Blue Star had not suffered such a heavy blow.


    But for Li Yuan, An Nong, and the others, it was still heart-shakingly impactful.


    Over six billion humans dead? Nearly the entire human population on Feixing was almost wiped out.


    How many humans are there on Blue Star today? Just over a hundred billion.


    "Until the year 1782."


    "Our human civilization gave birth to the first great existence to surpass the Flying Heaven Level, ''Lant''," the teacher''s voice suddenly rose with excitement, "officially launching the great counteroffensive."


    The teacher recounted many secrets, which were not mentioned in middle school textbooks.


    Li Yuan, An Nong, and the others couldn''t help but perk up their ears to listen attentively.


    "The ten-year war, under Lant''s leadership, essentially quelled the turmoil."


    "Thus ended the First Star Realm War."


    "In 1820," the teacher kept on with the narration, ""after a long four hundred years of the Martial Path''s dark age, human civilization''s first universal High Rank Cultivation Technique ''Nanming Wanshui Sutra'' was finally born."


    "Our human civilization''s warriors began to emerge like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm."


    Li Yuan was moved inwardly.


    A part of Martial Path history, half of human civilization''s history.


    History moving forward.


    Li Yuan was quite familiar with it, more and more High Rank Cultivation Techniques were born, and the whole of human civilization became increasingly prosperous.


    In 1920, the Second ''Star Realm War'' broke out on Feixing, with Alien Race creatures that surpassed the Flying Heaven Level appearing.


    But then!


    Dongfang Ji of Blue Star emerged dramatically, with absolute dominance and martial power, sweeping away all before him.


    No one knows how many Flying Heaven Level, and beyond Flying Heaven Level Star Realm Creatures fell at his hands.


    He also officially surpassed Lant, becoming the recognized number one powerhouse of human civilization.


    Afterwards.


    Dongfang Ji established the Starfire Martial Hall and turned the nominally existent Seven Star Alliance into a reality, truly towering above the nations of the Seven Great Planets, and also promoted a decade-long ''Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement''."


    In the year 1954 of the Seven Stars, the Martial Arts college entrance exam was officially rolled out, infiltrating all countries.


    For nearly a century, the entire human civilization entered a high-speed development phase, nuclear weapons and various types of technological weapons emerged... Under the unified coordination of the Alliance, no more overly severe chaos broke out again.


    In 1962, Starfire University, Starry Sky University, Black Stone University, all simultaneously established branches on the Seven Great Planets.


    They universally recruited and trained top-tier talents.


    In 2009, virtual networks came into being, sweeping across the entire human civilization, elevating the speed at which human civilization discovered Martial Arts prodigies by a significant level once again.


    While Li Yuan was recalling and contemplating.


    "Today''s class ends here, you''re dismissed," the teacher said in a low voice.


    ...


    Inside the Heilong Building''s practical Martial Arts Room.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang! Clang!" Li Yuan was engaged in an intensely fierce battle with his teacher Jiang Lun.


    "Too weak!"


    "You clearly have the Fourth Level Intermediate Rank Spear Technique, why don''t you display it?"


    "Are you not a prodigy? Calling yourself a prodigy with such trash skills?"


    "Are you angry? Upset? Then hit me if you can!" Jiang Lun berated Li Yuan, his shouts echoing through the classroom.


    He lacked the gentleness and elegance from the first time they met.


    "Mind, in harmony with every part of your body, feel every thread of force in the long spear."


    "Remember, every thread!"


    "I scold you, and your mind falters? Poor mentality, you need more training!"


    "I tell you to kneel, you kneel; I tell you to lie down, you lie down! Why? Because your Spear Technique isn''t strong enough."


    "Because you are weak."


    "Weakness is the original sin. When you fight with Star Realm Creatures, there''s no such thing as prodigies, only strength and weakness, and a dead prodigy is just a pile of flesh eaten up!"


    "Get practicing," Jiang Lun was like a tyrant, mercilessly tormenting Li Yuan.


    But Li Yuan had to admit that he made the quickest progress when engaging in practical training with his adversary.


    His inner self too was enduring the storms over and over again.


    ...


    "Spirit, from the inside out."


    "First sense your whole body."


    "What is Unity of Heaven and Man? Heaven refers to nature, Man to oneself," Li Yang was giving Li Yuan a private lesson, "When your skill reaches Subtlety, perfectly controlling every strand of your own strength."


    ```

 Chapter 122: 112 Cultivation Years, The Arrival of Actual Combat (Requesting Monthly Pass)_4

    "It''s about time to sense the natural forces of heaven and earth."


    "Human strength is limited, but the power of heaven and earth is infinite. Harnessing the power of heaven and earth can make the body unimaginably strong, running faster than the speed of sound, collapsing buildings with a single punch... a casual burst can produce hundreds of tons of Fist Strength."


    "Even... Flying Heaven and burrowing earth."


    ...


    In the Martial Arts Room, the physiotherapy room.


    The body is covered in a soul-cleansing marrow wash.


    "Ah!" Li Yuan''s entire body trembled in pain, his face flushed red, and the veins in his head seemed to burst.


    Muscles spasmed as if billions of steel needles were pricking into his fingers.


    This pain penetrated deep into the marrow.


    Even with Li Yuan''s terrifyingly formidable willpower, he already experienced pain to the extreme, with his muscle fibers twitching and distorting.


    Such pain, if inflicted on an ordinary Martial Artist, could very likely result in being tormented to death.


    Ultimately.


    Li Yuan endured it with great difficulty. A thin layer of impurities, faintly tinged with black, emerged on his skin''s surface.


    "This month, the fifth time, I finally made it through," Li Yuan murmured. He painstakingly drank the ''High Origin Spirit Spring'' placed beside him.


    Lying on the ground, he did not want to move at all and fell into a deep sleep.


    "Buzz~"


    The effects of the Spiritual Spring activated, waves of powerful Origin Power madly surged to every part of his body¡ªsinews, muscles, internal organs, even his blood... Every part of his body, like a ravenous beast, desperately consumed the Origin Power, growing stronger.


    ...


    Kunlun Martial Arts University provided Li Yuan with arguably the best, all-around cultivation environment.


    Li Yuan, in turn, was growing with unbelievable speed in every aspect¡ªtechnique, combat, physical quality, spiritual power... all-around improvement.


    This progress astounded Li Yang, Jiang Lun, and other instructors.


    In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July.


    "A rough gem!"


    "Forged through a hundred trials, he is becoming stronger and stronger." Li Yang voiced his emotion, "Jiang, your tyrannical training method, he actually managed to withstand it."


    "Haha, through my training, his probability of death in future life-and-death battles will be much lower," Jiang Lun proudly said, "How to remain calm during battle? How?"


    "Without enough experience, you can pretend to be calm with words, but your heart won''t be able to settle down..." Jiang Lun was about to launch into another lengthy talk.


    "Stop!"


    "If you continue, I''m going to hit you," Li Yang glared, and Jiang Lun immediately closed his mouth.


    "You''re the Dean, you''re impressive, can''t I just walk away if I don''t want to provoke you?"


    ...


    After seeing off Jiang Lun, in the office.


    "With Li Yuan''s current strength?" Li Yang looked at various combat scenes of Li Yuan on the holographic screen, "Still doing the Combat Assessment with the freshmen?"


    "No, that''s no challenge at all."


    "To the Fourth Base then," Li Yang decided.


    Kunlun Martial Arts University''s combat assessment bases numbered five in total.


    The weakest Star Realm Creatures were in the First Base, while the strongest were in the Fifth Base.


    Which base the students attended for assessments was not determined by grade, but by strength.


    The Fourth Base? Normally, it was reserved for third-year students.


    ...


    July 29th, villa number 61032.


    "Hmm?"


    "My Combat Assessment base is the number four base?" Li Yuan looked at the message on the smart ring with a bit of surprise.


    Clicking, he reviewed the detailed information.


    "The number four base, Star Realm Creatures level, mostly at 13th Level, with a possibility of reaching 14th Level?" Li Yuan instinctively glanced at his Divine Palace panel.

    Spiritual Power: 18.4 Level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (Current Limit 20%)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 53%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 42%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 55%)


    ...


    "Departure tomorrow."


    "The highest, asking me to fight nearly three levels up?" Li Yuan murmured to himself, "They really think highly of me."

 Chapter 125: 114 Qiu Jing! The Greatly Improved Li Yuan (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Having reached a 20% level of Spiritual Awakening, could another influx of Origin Power be possible? Li Yuan was not sure.


    "I''ve got to try, at least get to the 20% limit first," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    He couldn''t help but glance at the Star Realm Creature lying on the ground.


    It seemed small in stature, not even as big as a regular tiger, but its movements were swift and flexible. That kind of Explosive Power and speed were hard to come by in the animals on Blue Star.


    "A beast-like Alien Race? Wonder which Star Realm it comes from," Li Yuan muttered, "Did the military capture it?"


    Entering university for a month, with two general knowledge courses each week, teachers would disclose various secrets.


    These were hard to come by on the internet.


    To avoid mass panic, many details were relatively confidential.


    Li Yuan was clear that the Star Realms on the Seven Great Planets of human civilization, combined, amounted to at least several hundred, if not a thousand.


    However,


    most Star Realms are in a ''silent'' state, either due to entrance restrictions, or because the other side has yet to detect the existence of the Star Realm, or they do not wish to start a war just yet.


    Meaning the Alien Races behind the Star Realms and humankind were generally at peace, like the Moon Demon Star Realm and Moon Demon Civilization.


    The second type was the ''ordinary hostile'' state, like the Fish Spirit Star Realm, where the hostility of the Alien Civilization behind it is not small, but due to many restrictions, a large-scale war cannot be initiated.


    The third type was the ''war'' state, like the Rob Sea Star Realm and its Alien Civilization, clashing with human civilization time and again with devastating wars.


    The fourth type was the ''arch-enemy'' state, indicating the Star Realm is of very high level, and the Alien Race behind it was capable of instigating wars that could destroy human civilization and had indeed launched such wars, only to be repelled by human civilization.


    Star Realms of the ''arch-enemy'' status were mainly concentrated in Feixing.


    "Star Realms are special zones formed where different worlds touch the Seven Star Sea, many Alien Civilizations want to invade the Seven Star Sea to destroy our Human Race," Li Yuan whispered to himself, "But we are also constantly counterattacking, even capturing a large number of Star Realm Creatures."


    Like the ''Combat Assessment'' organized by Martial Arts Universities each year.


    Could the massive number of Star Realm Creatures that are killed be naturally bred? Of course not!


    Most of them are captured by the strong among the Human Race to be used as practice by the younger generation of Martial Artists.


    In ordinary Martial Arts Universities, ninety-nine percent of graduates do not reach level 15 by graduation, so the mortality rate can be kept below 10%.


    But what about Kunlun Martial University?


    After undergoing numerous combat assessments, once the Physical Quality reaches level 15, one must enter the Star Realm to directly participate in the war.


    Ultimately, only then can a powerful Martial Artist who has withstood the test of life and death be cultivated with a super low mortality rate of less than 20%.


    Strong body? High skills? These do not qualify one as a Martial Artist.


    Being fearless in the face of danger, calmly facing life and death, decisive in killing, that is the kind of Martial Artist needed by human civilization, which requires ample tempering.


    To Li Yuan''s knowledge,


    A hundred years ago, ordinary Martial Artists, without undergoing repeated and progressively more dangerous combat assessments, often went directly to Star Realm battlefields.


    A venture of life and death resulted in an ordinary Martial Artist mortality rate of over 30% or even 50% as the norm.


    "Let''s continue,"


    "The current combat assessments can only be considered as uncomfortably bright sunshine entering a greenhouse," Li Yuan gripped his Long Spear tightly and continued to venture deeper into the forest.


    Occasionally, Li Yuan would climb to the canopy of a large tree to scout the environment further away.


    However, with nothing but rolling hills and tall trees, traditional high ground was not to be found.


    The effort was of little use.


    ...


    Three hours later.


    Nearly 20 kilometers away from where Li Yuan landed, there was a light rain falling from the sky.


    On a gentle slope covered with dense woods and rugged stones,


    several large ferocious beasts resembling lynxes, with skins like leopard spots glistening and sleek, extremely agile, were roaring and besieging Li Yuan, who held a Long Spear.


    Their roars echoed in the woods.


    Nearby, several large trees had been knocked down and even some giant stones shattered.


    In a valley crevice nearby, there lay two large beast carcasses and five smaller ones.


    "So ferocious, and they live in groups," Li Yuan felt a headache coming on, "Each one''s Burst Speed is so fast; level 13 Star Realm Creatures are indeed fierce."


    Just before, Li Yuan had inadvertently entered this group of Exotic Beasts'' den and was under attack by two female beasts.


    He quickly killed them all.


    However, Li Yuan had not yet managed to withdraw when he was confronted by four more Exotic Beasts attacking him in unison.


    The lowest among them had a Life Level of 12.6.


    The biggest one, clearly the leader, had a Life Level well above 13.


    As one advances in the Martial Path, a difference of one level makes a clear gap in Physical Quality.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!" The four Exotic Beasts took turns attacking, attempting to take down Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Compared to the Exotic Beasts'' bursts, Li Yuan''s movements were not particularly fast, but they were exceptionally agile, as he time after time deftly dodged their attacks.


    To withstand their attacks head-on? With the terrifying force of the Exotic Beasts'' strikes, Li Yuan would be injured if he took a single hit.


    After two, he would be coughing up blood.


    What Li Yuan relied on was the absolute control over his body after achieving Unity of body and mind.


    The Dragon Movement Technique made him as agile as the wind, almost completely blending into the surroundings.


    "Huff!" Li Yuan, who kept dodging, swung his Long Spear time and again.


    Though his body moved slower, it did not mean his weapon was slow.


    Li Yuan''s Long Spear unleashed violent bursts in an instant.


    With each thrust, he would wound an Exotic Beast, causing blood to splatter.


    This was also the reason why all four Exotic Beasts were extremely wary of him.


    "They are extremely intelligent with strong combat instincts, it''s hard for my spear to hit a vital spot with one strike," Li Yuan thought.


    He could easily spot the flaws in the Exotic Beasts'' attacks and dodges, but their speed made it hard to seize the opportunity. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 126: 114 Qiu Jing! The Greatly Improved Li Yuan (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    Time passed.


    After attacking several times in a row, two of the exotic beasts were badly injured and their blood flowed freely as their strength greatly diminished.


    "Boom~"


    Another spear thrust out like lightning.


    This time, instead of dodging, he faced the attack head-on. With a flick of his long spear in hand, it roared out and pierced through the neck of the exotic beast like lightning.


    Whoosh~ The long spear was retracted, and blood sprayed.


    As he pulled out the spear, Li Yuan flexed his waist and bent backwards sharply, the spearhead turning one hundred and eighty degrees in a fierce thrust¡ª


    Turnabout Spear!


    "Pfft!" The long spear thrust straight in, piercing directly through the strongest exotic beast''s neck, reaching deep into its guts.


    "Roar~"


    The beast struggled with all its might, its body shivering violently in excruciating pain, sensing its life rapidly draining away as it tried to swipe at Li Yuan with its sharp claws.


    However, Li Yuan''s chosen long spear was two and a half meters long, giving him an absolute advantage in distance.


    Piercing sound~ The long spear was retracted, bringing out a large amount of blood, and the exotic beast''s body finally ceased moving.


    Even though he confirmed the beast''s death, a gentleman wouldn''t stand under a dangerous wall, so Li Yuan quickly moved out of the attack range.


    "Roar~"


    "Huff!" Seeing their leader killed by Li Yuan in a single encounter, the remaining two exotic beasts sensed danger and began to flee at an extremely fast pace.


    Li Yuan didn''t pursue.


    Although his strong skills meant that the special terrain of the forest limited him very little.


    But those exotic beasts were physically far superior and very fast. If they were determined to flee, it would be difficult for Li Yuan to stop them.


    "[You have killed an Entry Rank creature, gaining Spiritual Nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 19.2%]" Divine Palace''s panel flashed a series of reminders.


    "Hmm? Just a bit more to go?" Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    In just a few hours, he had only encountered three battles.


    But just in this last battle alone, Li Yuan had slain four adult exotic beasts and a few younger ones, bringing his Spiritual Awakening Level close to 20%.


    That''s right, even killing those weaker younglings added to his Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    In the act of slaughter, Li Yuan showed no mercy.


    Show mercy? Think of his uncle, think of his deceased parents, think of the scenes he''s seen in class and in films... Over a decade of education had made it clear to Li Yuan.


    Being merciful to enemies is cruelty to oneself.


    "Total points," Li Yuan glanced at the score ranking on the positioning ring:


    Points: 56


    Base Ranking: 174


    Grade Ranking: 1


    Note: Combat Assessment 10 points requirement fulfilled.


    ¡ª¡ª


    "Just now the grade ranking was at 16," Li Yuan revealed a touch of a smile, "and now I''ve rushed to the first place?"


    Li Yuan understood.


    In different Combat Assessment bases, the same strength alien lifeforms were worth different points.


    If it was the first base, alien lifeforms above level 12.5 would count as 200 points.


    But in the fourth base, only alien lifeforms above level 14 would account for 200 points; those below level 10 didn''t count at all.


    Unfair, isn''t it? Yes, it''s unfair.


    But this is the purpose of Kunlun Martial University''s Combat Assessment.


    If your Physical Quality is higher and your strength is stronger, then naturally, the requirements of the Combat Assessment will be higher.


    "Base Ranking 174?" Li Yuan wasn''t too concerned about this ranking, which indicated his position among the more than a thousand students at the fourth base.


    This ranking was already quite good, especially since Li Yuan''s Physical Quality was definitely the last.


    "All I need is to get first in the grade to receive the 3 million reward," Li Yuan muttered.


    After briefly discerning the direction, Li Yuan moved towards where the two exotic beasts had fled.


    Luck be with me! I might still run into them.


    "As long as I kill one more, my Spiritual Awakening Level will reach 20%," Li Yuan thought with anticipation.


    ...


    A thousand kilometers away from the fourth Combat Assessment base, a massive War Fortress stood.


    On the third floor, inside a conference room.


    "They''re performing quite well, more mature," one remarked.


    "It''s about time they matured," another replied.


    "Most of them have gone through three or four Combat Assessments. If they still can''t face life and death battles calmly, they''re simply too weak," several of Kunlun Martial University''s teachers commented while tapping their light screens, constantly switching their observation targets.


    Each Combat Assessment was a chance for students to grow.


    "How is it going?" one asked.


    "This kid can fully adapt even in the fourth base," President Li said in a low voice, laughing as he pointed at the advancing Li Yuan on the screen.


    There were numerous high-altitude drones on patrol.


    Together with the positioning bracelets worn by each person, and the many surveillance cameras spread throughout the Combat Assessment base, they ensured every student was monitored, accurately recording their scores.


    "Indeed very calm," remarked one.


    "If he can hold his ground in Jiang Lun''s combat training sessions, earning Jiang Lun''s approval, his combat skills must be incredibly strong," Dean Xu said, her usually taut face relaxing a bit, "He is calm in battle, his moves are clean and crisp, without any hesitation."


    "His ability to track movements and understand terrain is also quite impressive."


    "Doesn''t look like an eighteen-year-old student at all. Has he only been through one Combat Assessment?" Dean Xu spoke softly.


    "Yes, just once," Li Yang responded with a smile, "But I also have to remind you, he''s not even 18 yet."


    "Also," he continued.


    "Don''t treat him like a child; his Willpower is astoundingly strong," Li Yang said with a sense of admiration, "One month, five Spiritual Washings, would a normal Prime Warrior even withstand that?"


    Dean Xu was startled, seeming a bit surprised, "One month, five Spiritual Washings? Really?"


    She knew the pain of the Spiritual Washing. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In fact, many Martial Path prodigies had attempted it, but most couldn''t endure the agony and, due to the high cost and relatively low benefit, eventually gave up.


    "Of course it''s true. I also found it hard to believe when I first heard," Li Yang said with emotion, watching the young man on the screen, "But he indeed did it."


    "He hasn''t been through much, and yet he has such terrifying Willpower. It''s a bit eerie."

    "Perhaps, this what it means to be a genius,"


    ...


    At four o''clock in the afternoon, in a dense forest.


    Boom! Boom!


    Explosion-like sounds.


    "Quick! Quick! Quick!" Li Yuan dashed through the woods like lightning, cursing himself for not having an extra pair of legs as he sprinted through the chaos of rocks and trees.


    His speed had burst beyond 25 meters per second.


    If it were an ordinary person, their speed would be halved in such complex terrain, but it barely affected Li Yuan.


    That was why he had been able to escape so far.


    "Woo woo woo!"


    "Ha!"


    "Roar!" Behind Li Yuan,


    over a dozen humanoid aliens were crazily chasing after him, each of them moving at an incredible speed.


    They were all over three meters tall with skin like hardened limestone, appearing like great rock humanoids at first glance.


    Some wielded sharp stone weapons and wooden spears.


    Others constantly picked up large rocks and, with thousands of kilograms of force erupting, hurled them like cannonballs towards Li Yuan, who was fleeing at the front.


    "Rock Desert Tribe! The humanoids here are the legendary stone people," Li Yuan thought angrily, but he was helpless to do anything about it.


    In Xia Country, especially in Jiangbei Province, the Fish Spirit Clan is well-known.


    Similarly, so is the Rock Desert Tribe.


    This is an extremely brutal alien tribe with rock-like skin, tough and durable bodies, towering in height, accustomed to living in desert and Gobi environments... They had caused tremendous damage to Xia Country in the past and were nicknamed the Stone People.


    Li Yuan didn''t expect that the humanoid aliens in the combat assessment at the Fourth Base would turn out to be the Rock Desert Tribe.


    "Pom-pom-pom¡ª" Li Yuan frantically dodged the bombardment of those large stones.


    The boulders smashed into trees, creating huge gaps or even breaking them.


    Li Yuan made inquiries at the first chance he got.


    This group of Rock Desert Tribe members, most of them surpassed Level 13, the weakest being at 12.6.


    Combined with their natural intelligence and proficiency with weapons,


    if he were to fight head-on, even if he could kill a few, Li Yuan would surely die; he would at least need to call for backup.


    So, Li Yuan''s first choice was¡ªto run!


    What Li Yuan wasn''t expecting, however, was that this group of Rock Desert Tribe would pursue him so relentlessly.


    Luckily!


    The forest wasn''t their natural habitat, and the complex terrain greatly limited their speed, hindering them from utilizing their physical advantages.


    But as time passed, the distance between them was closing.


    "How much longer will they chase after running for several kilometers?" Li Yuan cursed in his heart, while also quickly scanning his surroundings, multitasking.


    He wanted to find a suitable battlefield.


    Preferably, it would limit the enemy''s long-range attacks and their numerical advantage.


    Finding such a place wasn''t easy.


    Suddenly,


    "Junior Brother, don''t panic," a crisp voice whistled, exploding from a nearby cliff.


    Boom!


    A nimble figure shot into the sky, with legs forcefully propelling her upward, charging like a cannonball towards the Rock Desert Tribe members rushing down¡ªit was a woman.


    In her hands were two short battle axes, resembling two small shields.


    "Sister Qiu? Be careful!" Li Yuan instantly recognized her.


    It was the ''sophomore sister'' from President Li''s class¡ªQiu Jing!


    She was one of only two sophomore students at the Sixth Institute who had reached the Fourth Level of skill.


    Her Physical Quality was at 12.9.


    In the sophomore ranks of the eight major institutes, Qiu Jing''s skill and combat ability were both in the top twenty.


    Because of their close age, their strengths were more comparable.


    Therefore, Li Yuan and Qiu Jing were quite familiar with each other and had a good relationship.


    "Boom!"


    With a battle axe in hand and movements as fast as lightning, Qiu Jing swiftly dodged several times before directly confronting the strongest one among them, a Rock Desert Tribe member with a Physical Quality of 13.6.


    The two sides clashed.


    "Rumble¡ª" The terrifying battle ensued with splashes of blood; several weaker members of the Rock Desert Tribe were decapitated, their severed limbs scattering.


    "Roar~"


    A few powerful members of the Rock Desert Tribe roared angrily, preparing to retreat, realizing the terrifying combat prowess of the small-framed alien before them.


    Their skills were too sophisticated; they couldn''t lay a hand on her.


    "Trying to leave?" Qiu Jing''s voice was cold, as a Fourth Level master, she unified her Vigor in an explosive manner.


    Slaughtering these Rock Desert Tribe members, who were close in Life Level, was a massacre.


    "Rumble¡ª" After more than a dozen clashes, accompanied by a dazzling axe glow, the strongest Rock Desert Tribe member''s chest was instantly sliced open by the sharp battle axe.


    Its head was then chopped off! It fell to the ground! sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Roar~"


    "Whimper! Boom!" The remaining Rock Desert Tribe members finally scattered frantically.


    Qiu Jing quickly pursued them.


    "So strong," Li Yuan couldn''t help but feel impressed as he watched the scene.


    In terms of skills alone, he was far superior to Qiu Jing.


    But the gap in Physical Quality was too great; against this group of Rock Desert Tribe members, he could only flee.


    Even with Fourth Level skills, the limitations to the moves and the bonus they offer ultimately had their limits.


    Just half a minute later,


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Jing, with her two bloodstained short axes, landed next to Li Yuan. Her body was smeared with blood, appearing like a War Goddess.


    "Junior Brother, aren''t you going to thank me?" Qiu Jing looked at Li Yuan, smiling, without a trace of the ferocity from the battle.


    "Thank Sister," Li Yuan smiled. "Sister is really incredible, killing those Rock Desert Tribe members like slicing through vegetables."


    "It''s nothing,"


    "They are just captured and placed here without even proper weapons," Qiu Jing shook her head. "If they were real Rock Desert Tribe warriors, armed with Metal weapons, they would be much harder to kill."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement; indeed.


    Many alien races of the Star Realm, especially humanoids, were as civilized as the Human Race, with a highly developed culture and a plethora of weapons for aid.


    Physical Quality may seem the same, but the strength could be completely different.


    "How did you manage to run into the heart of the Rock Desert Tribe''s activity area?" Qiu Jing asked curiously.


    ```

 Chapter 128: 114 Qiu Jing! The Greatly Improved Li Yuan (Seeking Monthly Pass)_4

    ```


    "Really?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    He had no idea.


    "From here, if you head east for about 15 kilometers, you''ll reach a large tribe of the Rock Desert Tribe within the combat assessment area," Qiu Jing said with a smile, "I estimate there are over two hundred warriors, and their leader is above Level 14."


    "Level 14?" Li Yuan felt a wave of relief.


    Level 14, with Fist Strength exceeding 8,000 kilograms, is several times stronger than Level 13.


    Luckily, he had not encountered them.


    "Haha, it''s normal that you don''t know; I only found out after some inquiry and it was not easy to shake off that leader''s pursuit," Qiu Jing said with a sigh, "You are also impressive, just into the first year, and you were able to hold on at the fourth base."


    "Without Senior Sister''s rescue, I probably would''ve been eliminated already," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Without me, another kilometer ahead there is a cliff. With your strength, you also had a chance to escape," Qiu Jing said with a smile, "Alright, take a detour on your own, stay away from the Rock Desert Tribe''s territory, and be careful afterward."


    "We''ll talk more when we get back to school."


    "OK, Sister, you also take care," Li Yuan nodded, not expecting her to accompany him anyway.


    The gap in their strengths was evident.


    Moreover, this was a combat assessment; both parties'' goals were to gain more points, so separating was the best decision.


    He watched as Qiu Jing departed into the distance.


    "Qiu Jing Senior Sister, ranked eighth at the fourth base?" Li Yuan glanced at the ranking on his locator bracelet.


    ...


    Heeding Senior Sister Qiu Jing''s advice, Li Yuan changed directions, avoiding the Rock Desert Tribe''s territory.


    An hour later, the sky gradually darkened.


    Six kilometers away, on a small desolate plain.


    "Pff!"


    An exotic beast resembling a lynx was pierced through the throat by Li Yuan, and its huge body crashed heavily onto the barren ground.


    "[You have killed an Entry Rank creature, gained Spiritual Nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 20%]


    "[You have reached the limit of Spiritual Awakening, temporarily unable to receive Spiritual Nature nourishment, once your spiritual power reaches Level 20, you can break the limit]


    "[Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 20%, second Origin Power assimilation initiated]" The Divine Palace panel flashed with three notifications in an instant.


    Li Yuan immediately noticed them.


    "Sure enough, at 10% there was one instance of Origin Power infusion, and now at 20%, there is another," thoughts flashed rapidly through Li Yuan''s mind, "So, spiritual power must reach Level 20 to break through the limit of Spiritual Awakening?"


    Before Li Yuan could contemplate further,


    he suddenly widened his eyes: "Wait! This is different from last time!"


    Because,


    Whirr~ merely three seconds after the Divine Palace''s reminder, Li Yuan felt a series of slight headaches, as if some mysterious force was infiltrating from his head into his limbs and throughout his body.


    The sensation was very strange. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan could feel a mysterious force gradually seeping into his limbs and body from the outside, and his pores seemed to feel a bit hot.


    It was Origin Power.


    "The first Origin Power infusion required my guidance, but this second infusion has started on its own?" Li Yuan quickly realized, "This is bad."


    "I am definitely under the school''s surveillance right now."


    Without any hesitation,


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan grabbed his long spear, his figure dashed away like lightning, swiftly lunging toward the distance.


    A few hundred meters away,


    there was a small cave beneath a cliff, the very place Li Yuan had chosen for his overnight stay.


    In barely twenty seconds, Li Yuan felt his body getting hotter and hotter.


    Boom! He threw the long spear, which flew out like an arrow, piercing deeply into the cave wall.


    Phew!


    He drew his combat saber, leapt into the air, and several flashes of the blade swept past. The trees next to the cave were instantly chopped into sections and fell.


    Then, Li Yuan quickly dragged these trees to the cave, erected them across each other, and barely sealed the cave entrance.


    Li Yuan, holding the combat saber, then rushed into the cave and placed a tree segment down.


    It practically sealed the already narrow entrance.


    "Even if an Alien Race comes, I still have some preparations, at least giving me two seconds more to respond," Li Yuan clenched his teeth and sat down on the ground, "Moreover, the teachers can''t directly observe me now."


    The Origin Power infusion had barely started a minute ago.


    He took a deep breath.


    "Origin Power infusion." Li Yuan calmed down completely, and his powerful spiritual power began guiding the surging Origin Power that was entering his body.


    This time, the Origin Power infusion was more abundant and purer than the last.


    "Evolve!"


    "My muscles and bones," Li Yuan could clearly feel that every part of his body was voraciously absorbing the Origin Power.


    Muscles became stronger, skin more resilient, bones more solid, and the vitality of his internal organs increased...


    [Your Life Level has increased from 11.3 to 11.4]


    As night fell completely, the surroundings were utterly quiet, and time passed.


    [...from 11.8 to 11.9] accompanied by notifications from the Divine Palace panel.


    Li Yuan''s body began yet another grand transformation.


    ```

 Chapter 129: 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Seated with legs crossed in the depths of the cave, the narrowest entrance was sealed with sections of cut wood.


    "There are no other lives in the cave, no danger." Li Yuan''s spiritual power was immensely strong, combined with his unique ''Divine Palace Inquiry.''


    If there had been any life in the cave, he would have detected it long ago.


    This was also why he could easily discover the crocodile exotic beast at the very beginning.


    "The body''s transformation is really fast." Li Yuan closed his eyes and could clearly feel the constant transformation of his physical quality.


    The evolution was so rapid that Li Yuan''s body was slightly feverish and sore.


    The drastic growth of physical quality was essentially a repeated tearing and reconstitution of the body''s muscles, bones, and flesh.


    But with Li Yuan''s strong will, enduring such pain was relatively easy.


    "In the first three hours, I improved by about 0.5 levels."


    "In this one hour, about 0.1 level? It seems much slower from the perspective of Life Level, but in terms of body strength, there''s even a faintly accelerating trend," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    The difference in Life Level Becomes more astonishing the higher one goes.


    For example, from level 10.0 to 11.0, the standard Fist Strength difference is 500 kilograms.


    But from level 18.0 to 19.0, the standard Fist Strength difference is 14,000 kilograms.


    This is the reason many martial artists improve to level 15 or 16 during the few short years in university, but struggle to reach level 19 even after twenty years of post-graduate cultivation.


    It was also the reason why Qiu Jing, despite seemingly lesser skills than Li Yuan, could slaughter a group of Rock Desert Tribe warriors because his physical quality was 1.6 levels higher.


    The Fist Strength of level 12.9 was more than double that of 11.3.


    The difference in skills wasn''t huge, and Qiu Jing''s overall strength was more than five times higher than Li Yuan''s, naturally enabling him to massacre at will.


    After entering the Entry Rank, every 1-2 level increase in Life Level doubles the body''s standard Fist Strength.


    "Spiritual."


    Li Yuan''s spiritual power was much stronger than before; he left part of his consciousness to sense external dangers while a fraction of it had already entered the spiritual world.


    He went directly inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    As Li Yuan had expected, inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the previously vanished white jade staircase reappeared.


    Wisps of golden mist were continuously falling from the upper space reached by the staircase, merging into the ground of the Divine Palace.


    "Is this golden mist, which I sense emanating from my brain, guiding Origin Power into my body, the mysterious power that I''m feeling? What exactly is it?" Li Yuan pondered.


    Suddenly.


    In the staircase, a small amount of the golden mist that was originally just merging into the ground separated and merged directly into Li Yuan''s consciousness.


    "Boom!"


    As with the almost identical experience before, Li Yuan''s consciousness felt like it was struck by thunder, becoming groggy again, and the entire spiritual world turned into an endless Dark Space.


    "The Dark Space again?" Li Yuan''s spiritual power was much stronger than before, barely maintaining his clarity, and he had a clear perception of the changes in the spiritual world.


    Hum~


    He perceived countless stars suddenly appearing out of nowhere, beginning to nourish his conscious mind.


    [Your soul has been nourished, spiritual power has increased from level 18.4 to 18.5] Unbeknownst to him, a Divine Palace prompt appeared.


    "Just as I suspected."


    "This golden mist, it can nourish and improve my spiritual power as well as lead Origin Power into my body." Li Yuan realized, silently experiencing the dual enhancement of physical quality and spiritual power.


    At the same time.


    In the Dark Space where his consciousness resided.


    "Seeking dust, finding the minuscule, merging to become one, the essence of the sun and the moon forges the Spiritual Foundation..." That grand and vast voice once again echoed in the Dark Space.


    Familiar voices, familiar text.


    "Spiritual Foundation." Li Yuan was moved.


    During the last Origin Power infusion, his consciousness fell into a deep sleep, with only faint awareness.


    But this time, he could clearly feel the mysterious fluctuations contained within this ancient and vast voice.


    It was extremely profound, seemingly representing some ultimate truth.


    "Stars!"


    Gradually, as he listened to this vast voice, Li Yuan''s consciousness faintly saw, in the endless darkness, what seemed to be dark stars beginning to emit light.


    They became brighter and more dazzling.


    The number of illuminated stars increased; from the initial dozens, they slowly became hundreds, thousands... A large number of illuminated stars formed all kinds of strange trajectories, twinkling in the Dark Space...


    "Stars like threads." Li Yuan had a realization and subconsciously tried to memorize these strange stellar trajectories as much as possible.


    This action was very draining, making Li Yuan''s consciousness even more groggy, as though he was about to sink into a deep sleep.


    ...


    While Li Yuan was hiding in the cave with his body quality and spiritual power constantly improving.


    In the War Fortress of the Star Realm he was in, within a three-layered meeting room.


    "What is Li Yuan up to? He''s been hiding in the cave for over six hours now." President Li was somewhat perplexed.


    "Isn''t that your problem?" Dean Xu shook his head


    "My problem?" President Li was taken aback.


    "Seriously, do you expect him to fight and slaughter all night?" Dean Xu shook his head and said, "His physical quality is the lowest among the students at the fourth base. Night visibility is hindered. If he were to go out and forcefully hunt and battle, it would be even more dangerous."


    "It''s better to hide, rest well, and slaughter during the day."


    "This shows he has self-awareness and isn''t reckless." Dean Xu continued, "I have high hopes for him."


    "Alright then." President Li nodded, also feeling that Dean Xu had a point.


    However.


    He clearly remembered that when Li Yuan hid in the cave, there was still over an hour before the sky completely darkened.


    "Could it be, I really made an error in judgment, forcing his growth?" For a moment, President Li doubted himself.


    ...

    The time came to ten o''clock in the morning the next day.


    The other participating students from the fourth base had all rested well and emerged from their respective encampments, beginning a new day of real combat and slaughter.

 Chapter 130: 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

    Li Yuan, hidden in the cave, remained secluded, without a bit of movement.


    The monitoring drone kept watch outside the cave but could not see inside.


    "Could it be, has something happened to Li Yuan?" President Li''s eyes revealed a hint of concern.


    "It shouldn''t be."


    "The drone has been monitoring; no alien race has appeared." Dean Xu shook his head and said, "The locator ring shows he is still in the cave, and his life signal is stable... there are no problems."


    "Then why hasn''t he come out yet?" President Li became somewhat anxious, "The class points have been thoroughly outpaced by Yang Hong and Wu Luo."


    As vice presidents, they could check the points ranking of every grade and every base in the school at any time.


    For example, the freshmen.


    Even though they were in different combat assessment areas like Base One, Base Two, and Base Four, they would have a common class points ranking.


    High class ranking meant rewards.


    High base ranking also meant rewards.


    "It''s his choice."


    "As long as he is not in life-threatening danger, we cannot intervene with the combat assessment." Dean Xu shook his head and said, "Let''s wait patiently."


    "Mm." President Li could only wait.


    Time reached noon, twelve o''clock.


    Li Yuan still had not emerged from the cave, and the combat assessment time had already passed 24 hours.


    "The combat assessment for Base One and Base Two has ended." Dean Xu suddenly spoke up.


    The combat assessment for Base One and Base Two lasted only one day.


    Base Three and Four lasted two days.


    Base Five would last three days.


    "Understood." President Li spoke in a subdued voice, his gaze fixed on the screen.


    At this moment, he felt the impulse to rush into the combat assessment base and drag Li Yuan out of the cave.


    He was keen to ask Li Yuan, what exactly did he plan on doing?


    ...


    The Star Realm of Base Two.


    "Wu Luo." Yang Hong, carrying a battle axe, stepped off the aircraft and immediately saw Wu Luo, covered in blood, walking over from a distance.


    Yang Hong approached him proactively.


    "This time, it''s still me who has won."


    Yang Hong grinned with a slight smile, "In this combat assessment, among the freshmen, I am number one in points."


    After 24 hours of fighting and slaughtering, he didn''t rest even at night, madly hunting for prey.


    In the end, scoring 196 points, he not only ranked first in the grade.


    But also broke into the top thirty among the over one thousand students of Base Two.


    Keep in mind, Base Two primarily consisted of sophomores.


    This shows how hard-fighting Yang Hong was.


    Wu Luo scored only 171 points, second among the freshmen, but the gap in points was clear.


    "First?" Wu Luo scoffed, "You''re relentless; I''m not as crazy as you, but do you really think you''ve secured the win?"


    Yang Hong was taken aback for a moment.


    "Idiot." Wu Luo scoffed coldly, "Li Yuan is in Base Four, and the Star Realm Creatures there are much tougher. Killing creatures of the same score as us in Base Two is much more difficult... but they have one more day of assessment time."


    "He still has 24 hours."


    "You''re the idiot." Yang Hong said with disdain, "I''ve been monitoring Li Yuan''s score; it surged sharply at the start yesterday."


    "But from five o''clock yesterday afternoon until now, his score hasn''t increased at all."


    "Although he has not withdrawn from the combat assessment, I guess he is injured."


    "After all, Base Four is basically full of juniors and even seniors; he is far behind in physical quality, very dangerous."


    "Besides."


    "The longer the delay, the fewer Star Realm creatures there are...even if he isn''t injured, trying to catch up by more than a hundred points in one day? It''s almost impossible." Yang Hong was quite confident.


    "Wait and see." Wu Luo laughed coldly, although he had actually acknowledged Yang Hong''s judgment in his heart.


    However!


    Wu Luo admired Li Yuan because Li Yuan was indeed too strong, far surpassing him in strength.


    But as for Yang Hong?


    Wu Luo was not convinced.


    The two had always been in covert contention, competing for the title of the ''second man'' of the freshmen.


    ...


    If Yang Hong and Wu Luo could still view Li Yuan''s score calmly,


    Then at the Star Realm of Base One, when the freshmen gathered in the square, it was filled with discussions.


    "Li Yuan, how come he only has a little over fifty points?"


    "It''s been a whole day."


    "Yang Hong is at Base Two, he''s slaughtered his way to almost 200 points, raising the collective points of the Sixth Institute by a significant margin."


    "Could it be, for this combat assessment, will the collective total score of the Sixth Institute take first place?" The freshmen of each institute discussed among themselves, all focused on the collective scores.


    Except for Li Yuan, all the freshmen''s scores had already been finalized.


    The freshmen institute rankings:


    First place: Sixth Institute (4031 points)


    Second place: Fifth Institute (3951 points)


    Third place: Sixth Institute (3931 points)


    Fourth place: Seventh Institute (3874 points)


    ...


    The gap in total scores between each institute was not large.


    Kunlun Martial University had already arranged the difficulty levels accordingly.


    Under normal circumstances, more than one-third of students would withdraw midway through the assessment.


    Even if they could complete the combat assessment, most would score only around twenty to thirty points.


    In the rest area of Base One, the gathering place of the freshmen of the Sixth Institute.


    "Our Sixth Institute''s total score is only 100 points behind the Third Institute."


    "It''s much smaller than the gap during the entrance competition."


    "Now we''re in third place, not bad."


    "Why does our senior brother only have a little over 50 points? Wasn''t it said yesterday that he could get 200 points? Yang Hong at Base Two got 196 points."


    "Idiot? That''s Base Four, the participants are all juniors and seniors, do you think scoring 200 points is so easy? If it were you, surviving for half an hour would already be quite an achievement."


    "It''s really unfair! If the senior brother was also in Base Two, he might have scored 300 or even 400 points; how could it have been Yang Hong''s turn to act so arrogantly." The freshmen of the Sixth Institute discussed among themselves.


    "That''s the rule of the school."


    "On the first day, the senior brother only got a little over 50 points; can he reach 190 points on the second day?"


    "Difficult, as the combat assessment proceeds, there are fewer and fewer Star Realm creatures; scoring points is harder." No one truly blamed Li Yuan for scoring low.


    Most people were well aware of the difficulty in Base Four. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 131: 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

    However, many people were inevitably disappointed.


    "Trust in our senior brother."


    "There''s still a whole day left, maybe he can create a miracle." There were also quite a few students firmly supporting Li Yuan, believing he could create a miracle, mainly freshmen from Jiang City.


    Before long.


    The freshmen from the first and second bases began their journey back to school.


    But many freshmen were paying attention to Li Yuan''s final combat score.


    The group total score pertained to every individual''s personal interests.


    ...


    July 31st, 1 PM.


    Inside the Combat Assessment Area of the fourth base, there were still 23 hours left until the assessment ended.


    In the dim cave, a faint light shone through the cracks.


    "Hmm? The infusion of Origin Power has ended?" Li Yuan suddenly came to full alertness.


    "Whew!"


    Li Yuan subconsciously looked down at his fists and gently clenched them, feeling an endless surge of power within his body.


    Ready to burst forth at any moment.


    This power was much stronger than before.


    Looking up again, his vision and hearing had significantly improved.


    "My Life Level..." Li Yuan glanced over the Divine Palace panel.


    ----


    [Life Level: 12.7 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 4460 kilograms


    Speed: 34.2 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 20.0


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 20% (current limit 25%)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 53%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 42%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 55%)


    [Note: The upper limit of Spiritual Awakening has increased to 25%. When the Life Level reaches 14 and the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, Spiritual Guidance will be received.]


    ----


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan was shocked, filled with excitement and joy.


    It was truly unbelievable.


    In just one night and half a day, his Physical Quality and spiritual power had increased so much?


    It was four to five times more than the first time he infused Origin Power into his body.


    It seemed like the Life Level had only increased by 1.4 levels.


    But the specifics of the Physical Quality change had to be considered; his Fist Strength skyrocketed from 2250 kilograms to 4460 kilograms, nearly doubling.


    His Burst Speed had also significantly increased.


    Such an increase was absolutely terrifying, and many students from Kunlun Martial University wouldn''t achieve such a thing in more than half a year of cultivation.


    "The improvement in Physical Quality is one aspect, but the key is spiritual power." Li Yuan''s gaze fell on one particular item.


    Spiritual Power, level 20.


    This was truly the standard of a Prime Warrior.


    Unbeknownst to many, Li Yuan had already completed two of the three major checkpoints that countless Martial Artists found insurmountable.


    Only the final one concerning Physical Quality remained.


    "Breaking through the level 20 barrier in spiritual power also brought my Spiritual Awakening limit directly up to 25%," Li Yuan''s heart quivered: "Spiritual Guidance?"


    It had been over two years.


    Since the awakening of Mind Spirit Divine Palace in his senior year of high school until he entered college, for more than two years he had been researching higher Spiritual Nature and Spiritual Guidance on the Divine Palace panel.


    All without result.


    Now, at last, Li Yuan saw hope.


    "Do I need to reach a Physical Quality of 14 to unlock Spiritual Guidance?" Li Yuan thought silently.


    His Life Level was already at 12.7, and although there was a gap to level 14, it wasn''t far off.


    "No matter,"


    "Let''s slowly improve the Physical Quality and first increase the Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%, and meet one of the requirements." Li Yuan immediately made up his mind.


    Isn''t it just slaughtering some Star Realm Creatures?


    With 23 hours left, killing four or five would be enough.


    "Whew!"


    Li Yuan stood up and stretched out all his muscles and bones.


    Then he threw a punch suddenly, with the shadow of his fist moving significantly faster than before.


    "With my current Physical Quality, combined with Spear Technique skills, I will be stronger than... Sister Qiu Jing," Li Yuan assessed.


    Li Yuan had sparred with Sister Qiu Jing on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Based on his judgment, her Axe Technique skill level was probably around Fourth Level 20%.


    Where is Li Yuan?


    His Spear Technique level is at 53% of the Fourth Level, already very close to high rank, a huge improvement.


    "The only concern,"


    "is the monitoring during the Combat Assessment."


    "Although the majority of people are unclear about my strength, both President Li and Teacher Jiang are well aware," numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan''s mind, "To double my physical quality overnight?"


    It''s too illogical.


    Too abrupt, most likely to make people think of ''Heavenly Materials Treasures'' instantly.


    "No need to unleash all my strength, let''s first get the Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%," Li Yuan reached out and gripped the Long Spear embedded in the stone wall.


    He wrenched it out!


    A top-grade First Rank Long Spear, incredibly tough, smooth as new.


    Then he took out some food and water from his backpack and consumed it all.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, dashed and broke through the trees covering the entrance to the outside.


    The sun was brilliant.


    "Let''s go."


    ...


    "Li Yuan has come out," Dean Xu was the first to notice and said with a smile, "Looks spirited, seems like he had a good rest."


    "We''ll see," President Li frowned.


    He had already decided, to give Li Yuan a good scolding after the Combat Assessment was over.


    He''s taking it too lightly.


    "Old Li, don''t take it too hard, a bit of setback doesn''t matter for a youngster like Li Yuan," a chubby old man said cheerfully beside him.


    This old man, was one of the three Vice Presidents of the Eighth Institute, ''Qin Huo''.


    "Qin, piss off," Li Yang glanced at the other, "I''m very annoyed right now, don''t provoke me, or why not go back and practice?"


    "Old Xu, aren''t you going to manage him?" the chubby old man glared.


    "Enough, you two stop bickering," Dean Xu felt a headache coming, his gaze fixed on the light screen.


    Watching Li Yuan.


    ...


    An hour later, around four kilometers away from Li Yuan''s resting cave.


    Two huge Exotic Beast corpses lay in a pool of blood.


    "12.9 level Star Realm Creatures, and it only increased my Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.1%?" Li Yuan looked at the reminder on the Divine Palace panel feeling helpless.


    Previously, killing one could still increase it by 1.2%.


    Now, after killing two, it''s only increased to 20.2%, too slow.


    "Could it be that a Spiritual Awakening Level of 20% is a bottleneck?" Li Yuan had an epiphany.


    Just like with Martial Artists, the difference in Life Level before and after Entry Rank is astonishing.


    "With only 22 hours left until the Combat Assessment ends, finding forty or fifty Exotic Beasts seems bleak," a hint of urgency flickered through Li Yuan''s mind.


    He originally thought that killing four or five would be enough.


    Now, he needs to kill forty or fifty.


    Slaughter is not difficult, the challenge is finding the targets.


    "There''s only one most reliable method," Li Yuan suddenly turned his head, staring at the distant forest.


    It was the direction where he encountered Sister Qiu Jing yesterday.


    "The Rock Desert Tribe."


    "Sister Qiu Jing mentioned that there are over 200 warriors in this tribe, killing just a part of them would be enough to push my Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%"


    "But then, I''m afraid I''ll have to unleash all my strength," a trace of coldness flitted across Li Yuan''s eyes. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So let it burst."


    "Even if it really draws the inquiry of the Flying Heaven Warriors, as long as they don''t discover the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, it will ultimately be attributed to my extremely high talent."


    "As long as I''m strong enough, there will be Great Confucians to reason for me," Li Yuan figured everything out in an instant.


    Unleashing all his strength carried certain risks, but the potential gains were also substantial.


    With Origin Power entering his body twice, the strength enhancement was already so significant.


    How miraculous would the so-called ''Spiritual Guidance'' be? Missing this Combat Assessment would mean waiting until next February.


    "Let''s go!" Li Yuan''s figure moved, he rushed towards the direction of the Rock Desert Tribe.


    ...


    An hour later.


    Deep underground, on a high-speed moving train.


    Both sides of the train were filled with freshmen from the Sixth Institute, the atmosphere was very tense.


    Suddenly,


    "Look everyone, the big senior brother, his score has surpassed 200. In just over ten seconds, it''s increased by more than a hundred points," an astonished voice rang out.


    "Our Sixth Institute is first in the total score among the freshmen groups!!"

 Chapter 132: 116: Kill One in Ten Steps (Vote for Monthly Tickets)

    "It''s true!"


    "The senior brother''s personal score has reached 242 points."


    "I told you, the senior brother will never let us down, he is the strongest freshman of our batch," a classmate couldn''t help but say excitedly, pumping his fist.


    "257 points now."


    "In just these few seconds, it rose by so much?" Gu Qianghan and An Nong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.


    It wasn''t just the freshmen from the Sixth Institute.


    At this moment, in a row of train compartments, freshmen from all eight institutes, and even some older students from Kunlun Martial University, had noticed Li Yuan''s rapidly increasing score and ranking.


    The change in score was almost calculated by the ''second'', enough to stun anyone.


    What did it represent?


    It represented that Li Yuan was encountering a large number of Star Realm creatures and was engaging in a frenzied slaughter!


    Too insane.


    ...


    The fourth combat assessment base.


    A small basin surrounded by hills, with wooden huts built into the jungle on a hillside.


    A Rock Desert Tribe village that once teemed with vitality.


    At this moment, it was already a chaotic river of blood.


    "Roar~"


    "Whoo!" "Whoo!" The densely packed Rock Desert Tribe warriors, with skin like rock, were howling as they frantically waved their primitive wooden and stone weapons in hand.


    Due to their racial traits, they were all incredibly tall.


    The slimmest among them stood over two and a half meters tall,


    Dozens of warriors surged like a tide towards a ''slender and short'' figure clad in black armor.


    He wielded a long spear, behind him more than ten bodies lay, blood splattering and staining the crimson tassel of the long spear, as if he had stepped out of hell.


    Due to the obstacles of trees, houses, and boulders, at most a dozen of the Rock Desert Tribe warriors could attack Li Yuan at any time.


    "Boom~" "Peng~" "Peng~"


    Standing at a farther distance, some of the Rock Desert Tribe warriors were swinging their arms, hurling huge stones fiercely towards Li Yuan.


    Hundreds of pounds of boulders whistled down.


    Even with a transformed physique, Li Yuan dared not take them head-on.


    But, relying on his greatly enhanced physical quality after the transformation, combined with his movement technique, Li Yuan''s figure flickered and easily avoided the barrage of boulder attacks.


    "Peng~" The boulders struck the trees, gouging out large chunks, even causing the trees to topple and fall, while the ones hitting stones caused numerous fragments to scatter.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    Li Yuan, advancing steadily, had a cold look in his eyes. His long spear danced in his hand like a dragon, instantly and easily parrying the attack of one warrior after another.


    Following the vibration of the spear''s shaft, he counter-thrusted with the momentum, the spear tracing a half-circle, its tip swift as lightning.


    "Stab! Stab! Stab!" Two of the Rock Desert Tribe warriors'' necks were slit in an instant, blood spraying out as they collapsed with a thud.


    "[You have killed... with a Spiritual Awakening Level of 21.8%]"


    "[You... with a level of 21.9%]" Two notifications from the Divine Palace panel flashed consecutively.


    "Killing one only raises it by 0.1%, and I''ve killed less than twenty," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Through combat and Divine Palace inquiry, Li Yuan quickly deduced that most of these Rock Desert Tribe warriors were actually only around levels 12-13; those exceeding level 13 were in the minority.


    Just now, sneaking over from the depths of the forest, Li Yuan had intended to launch a surprise attack.


    ```


    Alas, it was broad daylight, and the vigilance of the Rock Desert Tribe was extremely high, with not only visible sentinels but also hidden scouts.


    Li Yuan had only killed two before the entire tribe was alerted.


    Since the surprise attack failed, Li Yuan simply stopped pretending and launched a direct frontal assault.


    It quickly drew a large number of Rock Desert warriors rushing out from houses, caves, and wooden huts.


    At this moment, in close combat,


    warriors of the Rock Desert Tribe who had been throwing huge rocks from afar finally had to stop, fearing they would injure their own people.


    "Pfft!" "Pfft!" One warrior after another fell to the ground, most shot in the throat.


    Their skin was tough; if Li Yuan stabbed anywhere else, he wasn''t confident of a kill with one strike.


    Only the throat was very vulnerable.


    In terms of strength, Li Yuan was actually weaker than many Rock Desert warriors.


    But his skill was much too superior, completely overpowering the majority of Rock Desert warriors who had not even reached the Second Stage.


    "Die! Die!" Li Yuan''s eyes were icy cold, without the slightest bit of mercy.


    First, the ones coming out of the Rock Desert Tribe were all warriors, hardly any old folks, women, or children could be seen.


    Second, in a race war where life and death were at stake,


    there was no room for Li Yuan to show mercy.


    "Whoosh!" "Pffft!" Li Yuan displayed his spear technique to its fullest, as one warrior after another fell.


    Previously, when facing creatures of the Star Realm above level 12.5, the gap in strength was too big, and Li Yuan did not dare to meet them head-on, relying only on his movement technique to fight.


    As a result, he often fought for a long time, inflicting minor wounds on the opponent before he could seize the opportunity to kill one.


    Now? His Life Level had reached 12.7.


    With Li Yuan being able to tap into even deeper layers of his body''s strength, the power he could unleash was strong enough to rival a level 13 Rock Desert warrior.


    He dared to confront these Rock Desert warriors head-on!


    "Woof!"


    "Roar~" "Roar~" As one warrior after another fell, the remaining numerous Rock Desert warriors howled at each other, communicating in their own simple language, their steps slowing down.


    The Rock Desert Tribe was indeed bloodthirsty and frenzied, but when faced with a battle with no hope of victory, they, too, began to fear.


    All living beings fear death, and fear is contagious.


    Over the past two days, there had been numerous ''alien race'' attacks on their tribe, with nearly a hundred tribal warriors lost.


    Now came an even more terrifying ''alien race.''


    At this time.


    "Roar~" From the central and largest stone house of the tribe, finally, three figures emerged, each more burly than the last.


    The tallest one was probably nearly three and a half meters tall, truly deserving of the name ''rock giant.''


    Clearly, these three were the chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe.


    "13.8 level, 13.7 level, 14.1 level." Li Yuan remotely conducted a Divine Palace inquiry, and immediately knew the strength of the three tribal chieftains.


    Two were close to level 14.


    The strongest had surpassed level 14, and given their intelligent-looking eyes, they were very formidable.


    "Spiritual Awakening Level 23.2%." Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace''s panel: "Keep killing."


    The continuous slaughter also ignited the fervor in Li Yuan''s heart.


    This kind of thrill, skirting the edge of life and death, where one mistake could mean severe injury or even death, was something that countless virtual duels and combat trainings could never replace.


    "Roar~"


    The 14.1 level Rock Desert Tribe''s great chieftain, seeing the constant injury and death among the tribal warriors, could no longer hold back and erupted with an angry roar.


    ```


    "Die!!" The slightly stiff roar still made Li Yuan instantly understand the other party''s intent.


    It understood a bit of human civilization''s language.


    This roar echoed throughout the entire tribe, immediately heard by all warriors, invigorating their spirits without exception.


    Boom!


    The Rock Desert Tribe''s chieftain, like a rolling boulder, had his speed soar to the extreme, bringing up a whirlwind as he charged at Li Yuan like lightning.


    "Roar~"


    "Hmm!" The many Rock Desert Tribe warriors hastily retreated to the sides, clearing a path.


    Li Yuan''s eyes slightly narrowed, keeping watch on the opponent from the corner of his eye, his hand gripping the long spear as it swept out with terrifying power in a burst, the speed increasing by a great margin.


    Spear''s point attack!


    "Puchi~" "Puchi~" In an instant, another three Rock Desert Tribe warriors fell to the ground.


    Seeing this, the originally spectating second and third chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe could no longer hold back and, with roars, joined the fray.


    ...


    In the fourth base, within the third-floor conference room of the War Fortress, dozens of teachers were staring in shock at the immense screen before them.


    It was showing Li Yuan''s battle in the heart of the Rock Desert Tribe.


    "Li Yuan, he?"


    "President Li, is Li Yuan really a freshman? His physical quality has definitely surpassed level 12.5!"


    "How did he train?"


    "Alone, he dared to charge into the Rock Desert Tribe''s territory? Qiu Jing tried before and managed to kill a dozen or so before he was chased off in a disarrayed flight."


    "Did he hide so much strength before?"


    "His points have now exceeded 500, shooting up to 16th rank in the fourth base." The teachers were discussing fervently, all quite astonished.


    "Old Li, is Li Yuan''s physical quality really that strong?" Dean Xu was equally surprised.


    It was one thing for other teachers not to monitor Li Yuan constantly, but she had been attentive throughout.


    Previously, Li Yuan had shown to possess roughly level 11.5 in terms of physical quality.


    After one night''s sleep, it had nearly matched up to level 13.


    "Haha, I''ve said before that he has exceptional talent, just watch." President Li chuckled, "Otherwise, why would I have arranged for him to be at the fourth base? I certainly had my reasons."


    "Really?" Dean Xu expressed skepticism; Li Yang''s explanations seemed inconsistent.


    "Really." Li Yang nodded, appearing very composed.


    In reality, Li Yang was more shocked than any teacher present; he was all too aware of Li Yuan''s strength.


    "One night." S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "A rise of about 1.5 levels in physical quality? How did Li Yuan do it?" Numerous thoughts flickered through Li Yang''s mind: "Heavenly Materials Treasures? Or perhaps some Forbidden Medicine?"


    He contemplated many possibilities.


    But chose not to reveal them.


    "I''ll ask him slowly when we get back to school," Li Yang thought to himself, leaning towards the possibility that Li Yuan possessed some Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    The battle commenced.


    "The three great chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe have attacked simultaneously." Li Yang focused on the screen that had been enlarged.


    All the teachers watched intently.


    This battle was definitely the most pinnacle battle of the combat assessment at the fourth base to date.


    It''s worth noting.


    At this moment, above the Rock Desert Tribe''s territory, more than 20 silent combat drones hovered, ready to swoop down at any moment to slice through the Rock Desert Tribe''s warriors and rescue Li Yuan.


    ```


    ...In the Rock Desert Tribe.


    "Die!" bellowed the great chieftain, resembling a rock giant, as he swung a metal combat saber, his body clad in tattered metal armor.


    Metal weapons and armor could tremendously increase the combat power of a Rock Desert Tribe warrior.


    Most importantly, the chieftain''s wisdom was extraordinarily high, almost human-like. Prolonged battles had honed his formidable and impressive combat skills.


    "Whoosh!" The chieftain''s figure darted forward, attempting to close in on Li Yuan with a faster burst speed.


    "Whoosh!"


    A terrifying slash of the saber whizzed by.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan, too, erupted in an instant, sidestepping the light of the saber. His long spear, like a starburst, streaked across the daylight, instantly producing a trail of spear-tip afterimages.


    "Clang!" "Clang!"


    "Clang!" The long spear danced, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens, tumultuous and overwhelming, each blow stronger than the last, each wave higher than the one before.


    It was the ''Galaxy Waterfall'', the second technique of the Stellar Spear Technique, best known for group battles and consecutive strikes.


    Spear shadows burst forth, layer upon layer; droplets of fresh blood sprayed as the Rock Desert Tribe warriors, who tried to restrain Li Yuan, fell one after another.


    "Clang!" Even the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain widened his eyes, desperately swinging his combat saber to block the assaults.


    Too fast.


    Li Yuan''s physical strength was far inferior to his.


    However, with the Second Rank Secret Manual''s killing move, the long spear''s burst speed far exceeded his combat saber''s. The spear, like lightning, nimble as waves, surging like a mighty river, was terrifying to the extreme, forcing the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain to block purely on instinct.


    In almost the blink of an eye.


    The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain had blocked nine of Li Yuan''s thrusts and had been pushed back nine steps. His combat saber had become pockmarked under the relentless stabs of the long spear... The gap in the quality of their weapons was enormous.


    "Twelve Continuous Strikes!"


    After harnessing energy for twelve strikes, Li Yuan''s spirit, energy, and mind all reached an unprecedented peak, his fighting spirit soaring to the skies.


    "Whoosh!"


    The long spear flashed, unleashing a spear thrust with all of Li Yuan''s vigor, erupting thunderously. There was no flashy technique, no variation, just a burst of speed pushed to the utmost extreme.


    The Stellar Spear Technique''s third form¡ªDawn Piercing the Clouds!


    This was the combination of two devastating techniques, and also Li Yuan''s strongest attack!


    "Ooooh!!" The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain screamed in horror in his native tongue, instinctively trying to raise his combat saber to block.


    But after continuously blocking the long spear, his arms were already awash with soreness, precisely when he was at his weakest.


    "Pfft~"


    A flash of silver, and the spear tip had already pierced through skin, deep into the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain''s throat, and then it was violently withdrawn, blood spraying copiously.


    "Clang~" The huge combat saber fell to the ground.


    "Ah~~" The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain, nearly three and a half meters tall, instinctively covered his throat with his palm, helplessly opened his mouth, but not a sound came out as blood gushed from his mouth.


    After staggering backward a few steps.


    "Boom~" the Rock Desert Tribe chieftain finally collapsed to the ground behind him, heavily crashing down, his massive body trembling and convulsing.


    Until his eyes dulled completely.


    The Rock Desert Tribe chieftain, surpassing level 14, dead!!


    "You have killed a Star Realm creature over level 14, Points +200."


    "[You have slain an Entry Rank creature, obtaining Spiritual Nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 25%]"


    Li Yuan retracted his long spear, coldly fixing his gaze on the second and third chieftains of the Rock Desert Tribe, who had just arrived nearby, their faces filled with terror.


    ```

 Chapter 133: 117: Final Rankings (Requesting Monthly Votes)

    ```


    "Big brother? He?"


    "Dead?" The second and third leaders of the Rock Desert Tribe looked at each other, conversing in their tribal language.


    They were stunned, swallowing subconsciously.


    Their strongest, the one who led them in rebuilding the tribe, struggling for survival in this unfamiliar forest,


    Was killed by this frail-looking alien in such a short time?


    Yes, Li Yuan and the chief leader of the Rock Desert Tribe did exchange dozens of moves, but the speed at which they fought was extremely fast, lasting less than ten seconds from start to finish.


    Instead, it took the chief leader of the Rock Desert Tribe several seconds to fall to the ground after being pierced by the spear and dropping his knife.


    "Huh!"


    Li Yuan, after retracting his spear, didn''t hesitate at all and leapt toward the two leaders who were only a few dozen meters away.


    No hesitation.


    "Roar!" The second and third leaders of the Rock Desert Tribe didn''t hesitate to turn and flee; even their invincible big brother had died.


    Half of the tribal warriors were dead or injured.


    Continue fighting? They would all die here.


    "Woo~"


    "Woo!!" The other hundred-odd Rock Desert Tribe warriors, witnessing this scene, also completely lost their courage to fight against Li Yuan and began frantically scattering in all directions.


    Demon!


    In the hearts of these Rock Desert Tribe warriors, this skinny alien was a bloodthirsty demon.


    "Escape?"


    "Go to hell!" Li Yuan moved like lightning.


    He no longer deliberately pursued the two leaders but chased and killed some of the Rock Desert Tribe warriors nearby.


    After all, the two leaders had much stronger physical qualities and skills, but they could not make up for the gap in straight-line running speed.


    Li Yuan could use the special terrain of the forest to gradually close the distance, but by the time he caught up and killed them, the other Rock Desert Tribe warriors would have vanished.


    "Points."


    "Better kill as many Rock Desert Tribesmen who are above Life Level 13 to rack up more points," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After repeated Divine Palace inquiries, it was too draining, and Li Yuan could roughly distinguish their levels from their height.


    Level 12.0-12.9, killing one earns 5 points.


    Level 13.0-13.9, killing one earns 30 points.


    "I''m currently ranked ninth at the base. Now that I''ve revealed all my strength, there''s no need to hold back. Aim for a higher rank and take first place," Li Yuan fought with gusto but remained extremely calm at heart, his spear shadow rolling like stars, carrying tremendous force.


    Wherever the spear light touched, one Rock Desert Tribesman after another fell and died.


    Before they could hardly withstand Li Yuan when they surrounded him, let alone now.


    It was a completely one-sided battle.


    "Pfft~" "Pfft~" The flashing of the spear and the spattering of blood were like a beautiful painting.


    Li Yuan''s heart did not waver; he was a killing machine! Slaughter! More slaughter.


    "They all deserve to die," Li Yuan was clear.


    The Rock Desert Tribe had made several incursions out of the Star Realm early on, causing huge casualties to Xia Country.


    To this day,


    Both sides continued a fierce tug-of-war in the True Rock Star Realm; it''s just that the scale of the war was not as great as in the Rob Sea.


    These Rock Desert Tribesmen in front of him,


    in actuality, had all been captured from the Star Realm by human civilization; they were inherently warriors.


    Whoosh!


    After pursuing and continuously killing more than thirty Rock Desert Tribe warriors for quite some time, Li Yuan finally stopped.


    By then, other Rock Desert Tribe warriors were nowhere to be seen, having escaped without a trace.


    "Points ranking," Li Yuan glanced at the ranking on his locator bracelet:


    Points: 1352


    Base ranking: 2 S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Grade ranking: 1


    Note: Combat assessment requirement of 10 points completed.


    ----


    "Dispersing the whole Rock Desert Tribe and jumping straight to second in the base ranking?" Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile.


    Li Yuan could understand in his heart.


    At the fourth base, either the exceptionally excellent sophomores, such as ''Qiu Jing'',


    or some ordinary juniors and very few seniors were present.


    Excellent juniors? It''s not hard for them to reach Level 14 in physical quality after a few years of cultivation in college, so they naturally go to the fifth base for combat assessment.


    Even the top juniors, many have already surpassed Level 15 in physical quality and began their life-and-death adventures in the Star Realm.


    For example, Senior Sister Shi Xiao, who is also a junior, had reached a physical quality level of 15.8 last month.


    "Senior Sister Qiu Jing is ranked seventh, already the pinnacle of the fourth base''s strength," Li Yuan thought to himself, "and I am now stronger than Senior Sister Qiu Jing."


    Jumping to second place? Quite normal.


    "There are still 20 hours left; let''s see if I can push for first," Li Yuan also had his plans.


    He knew that the first prize for the combat assessment was 3 million Blue Star Coins.


    Additionally, there would be extra rewards for being at the top of the base ranking.


    "However," Li Yuan''s mind moved, and he glanced at another line on the Divine Palace panel:


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 25% (Current maximum is 25%, physical quality is not strong enough to withstand Spiritual Guidance)


    ...


    "Not strong enough physically? Is this why the Divine Palace panel reminded me that I need to reach Life Level 14 to receive Spiritual Guidance?" Li Yuan pondered.


    He was very eager, but he also knew that being anxious was useless.


    "At least, my Spiritual Awakening Level is already sufficient; it''s just the physical quality that''s lacking," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Level 14?"


    Based on the current physical quality level of 12.7 and previous progress rates, it would take him three to four months to reach it.


    Which means,


    "By around this November, I should get to see what this Spiritual Guidance really is," Li Yuan muttered quietly.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan, holding the long spear, moved his body and continued to pursue in the direction the Rock Desert Tribe warriors had fled.


    He had surged to second place in the base points ranking.


    It was worth trying for first!


    ...


    In the third-floor meeting room of War Fortress, the atmosphere was boiling.


    "He really won."


    "This Li Yuan is too powerful."


    ```

 Chapter 134: 117: Final Rankings (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

    ```


    "A new student just one month into school? Ever since Starfire and the others were established, have we at Kunlun Martial University ever had such an incredible freshman?" Dozens of teachers couldn''t help but discuss this, among them some at the level of vice-deans.


    The strength of Li Yuan, to them, is nothing to speak of.


    But to place it on a boy under 18, it seems too exaggerated.


    Especially his Physical Quality!


    You must know, from 18 to 20 years old, as the body grows, the normal Physical Quality of a Kunlun Martial University student sees an astonishing increase. It''s common to see a rise of 2 or even 3 levels per year before reaching the 15th level.


    But Li Yuan? His Physical Quality at under 18 is on par with level 13.


    When he reaches 19, 20 years old, how terrifying will his Physical Quality be?


    "Stronger than Jin Huguo," Dean Xu said softly, "President Li, the S-grade contract you signed... indeed, it''s worth it. Good vision."


    "With his rate of physical progress, by his junior year, he will definitely become a Prime Warrior."


    "As for skills... from his fight with that leader of the Rock Desert Tribe, it should be very close to Fourth Level High Rank." Dean Xu glanced at Li Yang, "Maybe by his junior year, our Kunlun Martial University, might really see the rise of an unrivaled genius that will shake the global college martial arts competition."


    "I am also very much looking forward to that day."


    "He, is considered my honorary disciple." President Li revealed a smile, a very radiant one.


    Regarding the uniqueness displayed by Li Yuan, Li Yang already had plans in mind.


    "The base''s ranking is now second."


    "He might even be able to rush to first."


    ...


    In a train cabin.


    "1352 points?" Yang Hong, who had been quite confident before, stared at the score on the screen, stunned


    How could this be possible?


    Li Yuan had clearly gone to the fourth base!


    That place is for the combat assessments of the third-year students.


    Supposedly every Star Realm Creature is extremely powerful, how could a freshman get over a thousand points? And directly advance to the second rank in the base?


    "Could the scoring device be broken?" Yang Hong started to doubt life itself.


    But he knew in his heart that the likelihood of that was almost nil.


    "Sigh!" After a long silence, Yang Hong sighed softly.


    The last glimmer of hope to compete with Li Yuan extinguished.


    ...


    "1352 points? Oh no, 1382 points now! Damn impressive," Wu Luo sat in the train seat, marveling at Li Yuan''s score and ranking.


    "Big brother, why do I feel like you don''t care at all?" A classmate beside him couldn''t help asking.


    "What''s there for me to care about?"


    "One must know their own limitations, don''t be an idiot like Yang Hong," Wu Luo said disdainfully, "Compete with Li Yuan? I never thought about competing with Li Yuan."


    "In practicing Martial Arts Cultivation, indeed you should have goals, but the goals you set should be grounded, and not set up an impossible goal for a lifetime, that would be too damaging to the self-confidence," he continued.


    "My freshman year goal is to defeat Yang Hong, and firmly secure my position as the second person in the grade," Wu Luo said full of fighting spirit.


    ...


    "Big brother is awesome!"


    "Strong!"


    "1411 points!!" By the time the train carrying the freshmen was about to arrive at the school, the six train cars occupied by the Sixth Institute''s freshmen had already descended into a frenzy.


    "Big brother!"


    "Team first."


    "With big brother''s strength, in the future he might become a Flying Heaven Warrior, and a top Martial Artist that will make a name for himself in Xia Country," these freshmen from the Sixth Institute all sighed admiringly and even started cheering excitedly.


    Yes, most of them, during high school, were considered the ''favorites of heaven,'' excelling in their studies.


    Therefore, at first, most of the Sixth Institute freshmen were only obedient in words when it came to Li Yuan becoming the ''big brother,'' but they did not think much of it in their hearts.


    Especially in this Combat Assessment.


    At the end of the first day, Li Yuan''s score was only just over fifty points, and many Sixth Institute freshmen felt disheartened, even disappointed in him.


    After all, during the Combat Assessment, the first-place institute''s team, each student could get a 100,000 Blue Star Coin reward.


    But then, Li Yuan burst forth with astonishing speed, completely surpassing Yang Hong and Wu Luo.


    He pulled the team''s total score from third to first.


    Then, Li Yuan''s personal points continued to hit new records ¨C 500 points! 800 points! 1200 points!


    Until now, surpassing 1400 points.


    These continuously soaring scores completely conquered the hearts of the vast majority of Sixth Institute freshmen. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    So strong!


    People always worship the strong.


    Even more, they extremely venerate those who can bring benefits to themselves time and time again.


    At this moment, Li Yuan truly managed to establish a certain prestige among the Sixth Institute freshmen.


    What is called establishing prestige and a sense of collective honor is most importantly being able to lead everyone from one victory to the next.


    ```


    It can bring benefits to everyone.


    Follow me, and you can win!


    "First!"


    "Big Brother, you will definitely be the first in the Fourth Base."


    "Seniors in their third or fourth year? Big Brother will surpass them directly." At this moment, these newcomers from the Sixth Institute no longer needed An Nong''s words to spur them on, they genuinely hoped Li Yuan could create a Kunlun Martial University combat assessment miracle.


    ...


    Time flew by.


    The sun rose and set, the end of the combat assessment drew closer.


    In the Third and Fourth Bases, many students had encountered danger and dropped out of the combat assessment.


    But those ranking at the top were still trying their best to find more Star Realm Creatures to earn more points.


    "First place, Gu Zhen, 1988 points."


    "Second place, Li Yuan, 1863 points."


    "He is more than 120 points behind, Li Yuan has been desperately catching up, but it''s hard to close the gap, as the Star Realm Creatures in the assessment area are getting scarce," discussed many teachers within the Star Realm fortress.


    "Only a bit more than one hour left."


    With their strong physical quality, the teachers felt hardly any impact from going several days and nights without sleep.


    ...


    "Those two in front are real freaks."


    "Gu Zhen, with a Physical Quality of 12.9 and Fourth Level skills, is among the top ten in strength among second-year students; he''s been far ahead in scores since the beginning."


    "Who would have thought Li Yuan would be even more monstrous, chasing after him and climbing the ranks."


    "And he''s just a freshman!"


    "The gap between their scores and the third place is several hundred points." Students ranked in the top fifty of the Fourth Base could only look up to the first and second places.


    The gap was too large to bridge.


    ...


    In the mountains and forests.


    Li Yuan, holding a long spear, was patiently searching and observing, aiming to seize the last scoring opportunity.


    "Over 120 points, with only half an hour left, it looks indeed difficult to surpass him."


    "This Gu Zhen truly deserves to be one of the top seniors in the second year, only slightly weaker than those who went to the Fifth Base like ''Liu Jun.''" Li Yuan glanced at the rankings.


    Second place?


    Li Yuan could accept that, considering he had only scored a little over fifty points on the first day and had to catch up on the second day.


    Suddenly.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan suddenly stopped, a trace of inexplicable joy appearing on his lips, "Luck?"


    He quickly turned towards a hillside strewn with large rocks.


    "Boom~"


    "Boom~ Bang~" Li Yuan swung his long spear, swiftly flipping the rocks away.


    In no time, a hole more than one meter in diameter appeared before Li Yuan.


    "Still not coming out?" Li Yuan''s eyes were icy, as he had already sensed the presence of the other party with his spiritual power.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh!" A massive snake head shot out of the hole like lightning, its huge mouth open wide as it viciously bit at Li Yuan.


    "14.2 level? Blood Winged Snake Clan, you''ve been hiding deep enough." Li Yuan swiftly dodged the deadly strike.


    "Swoosh!"


    The glint of his spear flashed as he thrust it straight at the serpentine head that was as large as a human head!


    The battle erupted!


    ...


    Over a hundred kilometers away from Li Yuan, in a different part of the mountains and forests, ten minutes later.


    "Less than twenty minutes left."


    "Being ranked first at the base should be secure." Gu Zhen, the hulking young man, showed a slight smile, "This Li Yuan is really formidable, catching up in just one day."


    "If he had started strong from the first day, I might not have been able to beat him." Gu Zhen felt a flicker of relief in his heart.


    The difference in rewards between first and second place at the base was 1 million Blue Star Coins.


    For him, that was no small amount.


    "Huh?"


    Suddenly, Gu Zhen felt his location ring vibrate and couldn''t help but look down, only to widen his eyes and stand up abruptly, almost shouting in disbelief, "How is this possible!! Is this cheating?"


    On his smart ring display, the overall ranking for the Fourth Base was clearly shown:


    First: Li Yuan (2065 points)


    Second: Gu Zhen (1989 points)

 Chapter 135: 118 Li Yang Asks Questions (24,000 Monthly Tickets Plus)

    ```


    The final ten-plus minutes.


    Gu Zhen, who had planned to rest, felt a prickling in his heart as he saw Li Yuan''s score and ranking suddenly surge.


    In his eyes, this wasn''t just about losing first place.


    It was¡ª1 million Blue Star Coins!!


    "Damn it! Do you really have to play me like this?" Gu Zhen couldn''t help but curse.


    Without hesitation.


    He got up immediately, hoping to find other Star Realm Creatures, but at this stage of the Combat Assessment, where could he find any in such a short time?


    The fact that Li Yuan could find one didn''t solely depend on luck.


    The most important thing was his strong spiritual power combined with ''Divine Palace Inquiry'', which allowed him to sense the Blood Winged Snake Clan hidden underground.


    And forced it out.


    Eventually, when the time reached noon, the participating students from the third and fourth bases received simultaneous reminders on their positioning wristbands.


    "Combat Assessment over, points locked, base rankings locked."


    ...


    In the fourth base, inside the third-floor meeting room of the War Fortress.


    "Haha, Old Qin, don''t be angry, please don''t be angry," President Li said with a triumphant smile: "Li Yuan managing to take first place at the end was all luck! Pure luck!"


    "Humph!"


    The plump elder''s face didn''t look very good because Gu Zhen was a second-year student from his Martial Hall 8.


    "I''m just curious," the plump elder frowned and said: "That Blood Winged Snake Clan was clearly hiding in the cave, seemingly not making a single noise, and even covered the entrance with a huge rock. How did Li Yuan discover it?"


    "It is quite strange."


    "Even when I was observing, at least through the monitors, it was completely unnoticeable," many teachers expressed their doubts.


    "You really have short memories," President Li shook his head and said: "Have you all forgotten?"


    "When he first enrolled."


    "Li Yuan challenged the Pillar of Spirit and directly reached the Fifth Layer. His spiritual power is strong enough to match that of a Prime Warrior," President Li stated calmly: "With such strong spiritual power, is it strange that he could sense that Blood Winged Snake Clan?"


    "Indeed, Li Yuan''s perception is much stronger than the other students."


    "Hm, that makes sense." Many teachers nodded in agreement, indicating their understanding, and gradually dispersed.


    "Sister, are you satisfied?" President Li said, smiling at the woman beside him.


    "Don''t call me sister, call me Dean Xu," Dean Xu frowned and said: "This time you''ve managed to pick up a good seedling. What do you plan to do next?"


    "Is it to continue training him normally? Or?" Dean Xu inquired.


    As deputy presidents, and being Top Grade Origin Martial Artists themselves, they had a much higher vision and understanding of the school''s internal affairs than the average teacher.


    They all knew that the so-called S-grade special training contract was aimed at the most outstanding ''ordinary students''.


    It was a standardized contract.


    It was used to train martial arts geniuses within the realm of normalcy.


    However, there are always some geniuses in this world that defy convention, and they need to be handled with special measures to fully tap their potential.


    "Sister, you know how it is, it''s not something we can decide," President Li shook his head: "But I will report to Dean Hai and explain Li Yuan''s situation."


    "Whether to continue with the structured training or do something extra, that will be for Dean Hai to decide."


    "Furthermore."


    "The reason I asked you to come this time was actually with this in mind," President Li said with a smile: "After all, to sign an SS-grade resource application, at least two deputy presidents need to agree."


    But in reality?


    Li Yuan''s explosive performance was completely beyond President Li''s expectations, and his initial reason for inviting Dean Xu wasn''t for Li Yuan.


    But, make the best of a bad situation.


    "Yes."


    Dean Xu''s face showed a bit more satisfaction: "Old Li, this time you really put in some effort."


    If the SS-grade resource application regarding ''Li Yuan'' could pass the review.


    Then, President Li, as the ''advising teacher'', would definitely be credited with the primary merit.


    As one of the two deputy presidents who signed the form, ''Dean Xu'' would also receive a certain guiding bonus.


    "Of course, our sibling relationship is well known, isn''t it?" President Li laughed.


    After a pause, President Li continued: "Sister, what do you think our chances are?"


    "Hard to say." Dean Xu shook her head, pondering for a moment: "Sixty percent, I guess."


    "Just right, it seems Dean Hai is still on campus. Draft the application now, I''ll co-sign it, let''s try to settle it today."


    "Okay."


    ...


    In the fourth base, on the plaza outside the War Fortress, several aircraft landed.


    A large number of students who held on until the final moment stepped out of the aircraft.


    The two-day Combat Assessment.


    Many had their armor torn with holes, and several were covered in blood, some of their own, and some from the Alien Race.


    "Phew!" Li Yuan also stepped off one of the aircraft and caught sight of a row of white stretchers laid out on the ground in the distance.


    "Are there deaths again? The number seems not small." Li Yuan felt a touch of sadness.


    The joy of securing first place was somewhat diminished.


    "Li Yuan." A crisp voice suddenly rang out from behind him.


    Li Yuan turned and saw a tall woman approaching with a smile on her face.


    "Senior sister," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ```


    The visitor was none other than Sister Qiu Jing, who had already formed a decent relationship with Li Yuan through attending classes together multiple times.


    This time, after going through a life and death experience in the combat assessment, their relationship had naturally grown much closer.


    "Tsk, tsk, first place, huh!" Sister Qiu Jing''s voice didn''t stop as she shook her head and laughed, "Li Yuan, come on, tell me, were you just trying to mess with me?"


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "Did you, at that time, deliberately lure that group of Rock Desert Tribe warriors?" Sister Qiu Jing stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan scratched his head and found he couldn''t explain at the moment, so he could only offer a silly smile.


    "I thought you were really in danger, and I foolishly charged in to save you," Sister Qiu Jing shook her head and sighed, "Later on, I was quite proud, thinking I had saved you."


    "But seeing you later crazily racking up points, you must have barged into that Rock Desert Tribe enclave; with your strength, how could you care about the initial dozen or so Rock Desert Tribe warriors." Qiu Jing made a pitiful expression, "Poor me working so hard to save you, and you didn''t tell me the truth, even deceiving me."


    "Sister, me?" Li Yuan was somewhat at a loss.


    "Haha, just kidding," Sister Qiu Jing suddenly laughed, "I won''t pry anymore, you definitely have your reasons. However, you have to treat me to a meal after we get back."


    "Okay, no problem," Li Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.


    Some things, he could talk about with Teacher Li Yang, but couldn''t discuss them with Qiu Jing.


    "What did you just see over there?" Qiu Jing suddenly pointed at the row of white stretchers in the distance.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his smile involuntarily fading a bit.


    "You''ll get used to it."


    "My best friend from university died in the last combat assessment," Qiu Jing''s eyes dimmed.


    Li Yuan''s heart stirred, and he looked at Qiu Jing.


    "We have no choice; the combat assessment is already the least life-threatening form of tempering we experience," Qiu Jing spoke softly, "If we can''t even survive the combat assessment... what will we do when we actually join the war?"


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily, indicating his agreement.


    "Let''s continue to become stronger," Sister Qiu Jing laughed again all of a sudden, "You''re just in your first year and already stronger than me; I''m dying of envy. With such talent, you''ll definitely become a very powerful Prime Warrior in the future."


    "Perhaps even a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "By then, you''ll really be able to kill a large number of Star Realm Creatures that threaten our Human Race," Qiu Jing said with a laugh.


    ...


    As the two were chatting, suddenly.


    "Qiu Jing, Li Yuan." A deep voice rang out from not far away; a bald middle-aged man stood there.


    "Teacher."


    "Teacher." Both of them turned solemn at the same time.


    "Good performance, Qiu Jing is sixth, Li Yuan is first," Li Yang showed a faint smile, "Qiu Jing, wait here for the train to arrive."


    "Li Yuan, come with me for a moment," Li Yang walked towards a house in the distance.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded and followed.


    Qiu Jing winked at Li Yuan.


    ...


    Following Li Yang to a three-story building next to the square, they entered a conference room on the first floor.


    It was very quiet here, just Li Yuan and Li Yang.


    Li Yang sat down in a chair without a word. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan displayed a trace of nervousness.


    "You''ve improved your strength very quickly," Li Yang finally looked up at Li Yuan, "What level is your Physical Quality now?"


    "12.6," Li Yuan mentioned a figure, it was no use hiding it anymore.


    And it couldn''t be hidden.


    "Did you use some Heavenly Materials Treasures, or Forbidden Medicine?" Li Yang got straight to the point.


    "It''s not Forbidden Medicine; the teacher can check my body," Li Yuan only answered half the question.


    Whether it was Heavenly Materials Treasures or not, he didn''t answer.


    "Did the Starfire Martial Hall give it to you?" Li Yang inquired, "Previously, no information was passed on to me, did you sign a non-disclosure agreement?"


    Li Yuan stayed silent, his mind racing about how to respond.


    "Alright,"


    "The teacher understands," Li Yang believed he had seen through Li Yuan''s thoughts, and said with a smile, "The ''Fei Qian'' of Starfire Martial Hall definitely told you not to discuss it with anyone, else it might attract covetous eyes, right?"


    Li Yuan revealed a bitter smile, apparently feeling somewhat helpless.


    "Don''t worry."


    "A Heavenly Materials Treasure that enhances Physical Quality is all it is; we at Kunlun Martial University can protect you," Li Yang said with a laugh, "As long as it''s not Forbidden Medicine that affects potential, it''s fine."


    "Everyone has secrets, especially geniuses. If you don''t want to talk about it, I won''t press you."


    "I called you here to tell you that after you return today, Dean Hai wants to see you."

    (The following was added after the main text was published and will not be included in the word count charged for.)


    ps: The third release of the day, still over ten thousand words with three updates; 24,000 monthly tickets for an additional update! First, let''s ask for monthly tickets!


    Also, to mention a few things, one is that I had to go to the hospital for checks today, so the updates were slower, sorry. I initially thought that there wouldn''t be any interruptions in the updates, so I didn''t say anything in advance because, as everyone knows, when you''re sick, no one knows what time the checkup results will come out.


    Next, regarding update times, I will try to stabilize update times in the future, but I don''t promise a specific time because it''s very easy to fall short of what''s promised.


    I''m not used to keeping a backlog of written chapters. In nearly 10 years of writing, besides new releases and the launch where I force myself to save 5-10 chapters, I don''t keep a backlog at other times. It''s not that I can''t keep a backlog, but having one significantly affects my writing state and spontaneous inspiration.


    I prefer to make slight adjustments based on daily reader feedback, so apologies for that.


    Lastly, regarding updates, I will definitely try my best to keep updating. I consider myself to be relatively quick with updates, but there''s no need to rush me to be faster. I personally hope to find a balance between quality and the stability of my writing pace.


    A big long novel, purely chasing after update speed, can easily collapse. If it collapses, it''s useless to write 100,000 words in a day.


    Tomorrow, I will strive for 3-4 updates, depending on my condition.


    Thank you all for your support!

    "Dean Hai?" Li Yuan felt a slight shock in his heart and couldn''t help but ask, "Our dean, Dean Hai?"


    He had been at the school for quite some time and was rather familiar with the history of his own academy.


    "Is there a second Dean Hai at our school?" Li Yang said with a smile, "Most of the time, Dean Hai isn''t at the school. He''s either stationed in the Star Realm, or he''s traversing life and death in bitter cultivation."


    "This time you''re in luck. His Excellency is returning to the school today."


    "Just now, I''ve submitted your performance to Dean Hai at the first opportunity." Li Yang continued, "He has replied to my message, instructing us to bring you to meet him once we''re back at the school."


    "Yes." Li Yuan nodded, a mix of anticipation and nervousness in his heart.


    Dean Hai!


    That was a Flying Heaven Warrior, truly a peerless martial force to be reckoned with, whose strength was terrifying enough to basically ignore modern firearms.


    He could be considered a main combat force guarding human civilization.


    For instance, the Provincial Hall Masters of places like Jiangbei, Starfire Martial Hall, and Starry Sky Martial Hall, the strongest warriors in the military... they were all Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Such peerless beings could shake a province with a mere stamp of their foot.


    "Don''t worry, Dean Hai is very approachable; he won''t do anything to you," Li Yang said with a smile. "If he wants to see you, it means your performance has been outstanding."


    "It has been many years since Dean Hai has summoned a student from the academy for a one-on-one meeting."


    Li Yuan thoughtfully pondered.


    For such a superior being, time was precious, and without demonstrating the potential of a Flying Heaven Warrior, he probably wouldn''t summon anyone for a one-on-one meeting.


    Li Yang didn''t reveal too much to Li Yuan because he wasn''t sure what benefits Dean Hai might offer. He didn''t want to raise Li Yuan''s expectations too much.


    "By the way."


    "For ranking first at Base Four this time, the school will reward you with five million Blue Star Coins," Li Yang said with a smile. "As the top student in the grade, the school will reward you with three million Blue Star Coins."


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    Added together, that was eight million Blue Star Coins.


    Not a small sum.


    "Additionally, having served as the head senior brother for a month, the school''s evaluation of your assessment is ''excellent''." Li Yang smiled somewhat playfully, "The reward of ''one million Blue Star Coins'' for this half-year will increase by 20%, totaling 1.2 million Blue Star Coins, which will be given to you all at once."


    "Thank you, Teacher." Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.


    He understood that the so-called ''excellent'' assessment was probably decided by Teacher Li Yang.


    Had Li Yuan truly fulfilled his duties? Not really.


    But leading the entire academy''s students to secure first place in various assessments as a group? That qualified him as an outstanding senior brother.


    Results decided everything.


    "Alright, off you go." President Li said with a smile, "After the train arrives, go change into clean clothes when we''re back at school, and then wait at Heilong Building."


    "Yes." Li Yuan turned and prepared to leave.


    Suddenly.


    Buzz~ President Li''s smart ring vibrated.


    "Hmm?" President Li looked down, his expression changing suddenly as he stood up.


    "Teacher?" Li Yuan sensed something was amiss.


    "It''s nothing, hurry on to the train." President Li said solemnly, "Dean Hai won''t have time to see you today; wait for my notification."


    "Yes." Li Yuan immediately realized that something major must have happened.


    Whoosh! Li Yang grabbed hold of Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan felt a gust of wind flash by, and in an instant, they had moved over a hundred meters from the conference room.


    In the distance, a large number of students were boarding the train in an orderly fashion.


    "Go."


    After leaving those words, Li Yang moved, transforming into a streak of light darting over two hundred meters; yet the air hardly trembled.


    In a few bounds, he had disappeared at the end of the plaza.


    From the direction he went, he was heading to the War Fortress.


    "Such speed." Li Yuan held his breath as he watched Li Yang fade into the distance, witnessing his true strength for the first time.


    This burst speed.


    "Must be close to the speed of sound," Li Yuan sighed inwardly. "Is this the power of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?"


    It wasn''t just Li Yuan; many students had witnessed Li Yang speeding away.


    "No idea what major event occurred, it seems even Dean Hai has to go there," Li Yuan thought to himself. "I hope everything is all right."


    Li Yuan didn''t ponder too deeply.


    When the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up; he wasn''t yet capable of shouldering such responsibilities.


    Concentrating on his training to become stronger was what a good student should do.


    "Let''s go."


    Li Yuan walked toward the distant train, boarding the carriage in sequence.


    ...


    Boom! Li Yang burst forth at full speed, leaping dozens of meters high in a single bound, covering hundreds of meters in a flash, and swiftly arriving outside the War Fortress.


    The several dozen teachers who had been in the meeting.


    Almost all were already waiting outside the War Fortress. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Dean Xu, Dean Qin." President Li landed and immediately asked, "What''s the situation?"


    "It''s urgent."


    "Our ''Observation Point Six'' in the Kunlun Star Realm has been exposed; the marrow crystal veins have been discovered by the Alien Race," Dean Xu said gravely. "Currently, it''s under siege by the native powers of the Star Realm, and from the traces that have been revealed so far, it appears that the Immortal Ruins Civilization''s Great Sects are behind it."


    "The Great Sects of the Immortal Ruins Civilization?" Li Yang''s expression changed.


    At their level, they were all too aware of what this implied.


    The Kunlun Star Realm was nothing compared to the vast and mighty Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    However, it was very important to the Human Race of the Seven Stars Sea, especially to Xia Country.


    Setting up Kunlun Martial University there was to guard the Kunlun Star Realm.


    It was also an important source of resources for Kunlun Martial University.


    "How could it have been discovered?" Li Yang couldn''t help but say, "Our observation points have always been very secretive."


    "It''s related to Dean Zhao and the others," Dean Qin, a plump elder, sighed. "Europa''s Koreya applied to the alliance to enter the Kunlun Star Realm not too long ago... The situation is very chaotic, and we haven''t completely figured it out yet."


    "Either way."


    "The principal has ordered us to go and provide support immediately. We''ll abandon Observation Point Six, but we must bring back the besieged Martial Artists, the mined marrow crystals, and we also have to eliminate all traces to avoid exposing more observation points," Dean Qin said.


    "Dean Hai and three other Flying Heaven Warriors are already stationed at the three major entrances of the Kunlun Star Realm."


    ```

 Chapter 137: 119: 74 Million Blue Star Coins (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

    ```


    "To prevent the situation from getting worse."


    "Enough talk, time is of the essence. We''ll discuss it on the way, let''s go first." Dean Xu interrupted the two''s conversation.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Dozens of Prime Warriors who were teachers and deans, with the lowest physical quality at level 26, quickly charged into a War Fortress entrance not far away.


    Deep inside the War Fortress, there was a channel that could quickly leave the Star Realm.


    ...


    The train sped forward at high speed.


    The same compartment as on the journey here.


    "Li Yuan, impressive."


    Wang Chan, a senior from his third year whom he had met on the way there, gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Amazing, actually managed to get first place in the fourth base''s rankings."


    "Junior Li Yuan, how did your scores rise so quickly? Did you encounter a lot of Exotic Beasts?"


    "Junior, what''s your physical quality level now?"


    Seniors from various institutes all gathered around Li Yuan.


    For a moment, Li Yuan was the center of discussion in the compartment.


    "Junior, can we spar with the Spear Technique later?"


    "Li Yuan, you''re too awesome, can I add you on V?" Even a senior sister boldly made the invitation.


    Li Yuan found it a bit much to handle, but eventually, a few seniors from the Sixth Institute spoke up and gradually everyone in the compartment quieted down.


    Li Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief.


    He felt that this was even more troublesome than fighting a level-14 Star Realm Creature.


    "This time, including the reward from the senior brother and the team reward from the institute,"


    "I could get over 9 million." Li Yuan calculated in his mind: "That''s about enough, time to start preparing the first phase of Uncle''s physical rehabilitation treatment."


    Uncle Li Changzhou had been rescued and appeared to have recovered.


    But after suffering from Flame Erosive Bone Poison for a long time, and almost dying at the end, the recovery to health was only superficial, meaning he had been brought back from the brink of death.


    The vitality in Li Changzhou''s body had been mostly destroyed by the toxin.


    Just his physical quality alone had fallen from level 11 before the injury to about a level 6 standard now.


    In May, Li Yuan had discussed with the doctors.


    If Li Changzhou continued to live an orderly life with normal health care, his life expectancy would hardly exceed 70 years.


    It might seem not too short.


    But one must know that, barring accidental deaths, the average life expectancy for humans in this era was well over a hundred years.


    For this reason, Li Yuan, after the college entrance exams, contacted a rehabilitation hospital through Wan Qinghe to start preparing a ''rehabilitation plan'' for Uncle.


    "Three stages of rehabilitation treatment."


    "The first stage will cost about 16 million, the second stage is estimated at around 18 million, and the third stage at about 40 million."


    "A total of 74 million Blue Star Coins." Li Yuan had almost memorized the rehabilitation plan: "If all goes well with the complete treatment, although it won''t make Uncle''s body return to its peak, his life expectancy should increase to around 90 years old."


    The three stages of treatment were incredibly expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary families.


    It involved life sciences, very complex.


    If he told Uncle and Aunt the truth about such a huge expense, Li Yuan figured they would not agree.


    However, Li Yuan had made up his mind.


    "The money the country rewarded me with is meant for me to enhance my strength,"


    "And besides, cash rewards are always finite and in theory should not be used on other things." Li Yuan was clear on this: "But I will always have chances to make money and repay the country in the future."


    "Uncle''s health can''t be delayed. The longer we wait, the less hope there is for recovery, and no amount of money spent later will make up for it." Li Yuan''s thoughts were crystal clear.


    "The first stage, 16 million Blue Star Coins, start the treatment as soon as possible."


    "The entire treatment will last for about half a year."


    "During this half year, I will endeavor to become a level 15 Martial Artist as soon as possible. Then I can venture into many Star Realms, risk life and death, and truly earn money on my own," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The Star Realms were full of danger but also contained countless treasures.


    Some Star Realms were so vast that they were ten times larger than Xia Country, which has a territory of over a hundred million square kilometers.


    All kinds of Heavenly Materials Treasures originated from these Star Realms.


    Otherwise, how could those Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors be so wealthy?


    ...


    Returning to school, Li Yuan was warmly welcomed by over a hundred freshmen from the Sixth Institute.


    After a round of celebrations that lasted until after seven in the evening,


    Li Yuan finally returned to his villa, washed up, and then calmed down to practice the Basic Cultivation Method for over an hour.


    After completing everything, he entered the virtual network pod, connecting his consciousness.


    Within his personal space,


    "Master." The sprite girl circled around him.


    "According to my earlier annotations, list all my assets in the bank and the Martial Hall." Li Yuan spoke softly.


    "Yes, Master, please wait a moment." The girl smiled.


    Swiftly.


    Whoosh! A huge screen appeared in Li Yuan''s field of vision, clearly marking his wealth.


    Bank Balance: 36,550,000 Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 440,000


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 9,570,000 S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    "My cash has exceeded 36 million," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile; this was all the cash he had.


    The rewards from the recent combat assessment, the award from the eldest senior brother, the prize from the entrance competition, plus the rewards from the school''s S-grade special training contract.


    These amounted to Li Yuan''s current fortune.


    "Over the past six months, most of the Martial Hall Points I spent were for purchasing various cultivation resources," Li Yuan thought silently, "Now, at the school, I get two portions of ''High Origin Spirit Spring'' for free every month, each worth 2 million Blue Star Coins, so there''s no need to buy Origin Power Essence Pills anymore."


    Every month, Li Yuan himself mainly purchased Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow and First Rank Blood Essence potions.


    Each month''s expenses are about 1.3 million points/Blue Star Coins.


    "In October, the cash and points from the Martial Hall contract will be given to me," Li Yuan pondered, "In the following months, I''ll have to spend cash to buy various cultivation resources."


    Though tens of millions might seem a lot, it might not be enough to spend.


    As Li Yuan''s physical quality continued to improve, he would need more ''High Origin Spirit Spring,'' which the school could not provide indefinitely.


    More cultivation resources had to be bought with his own money.


    "I''ll prepare the first phase of my uncle''s rehabilitation treatment first," Li Yuan was contemplating, "Before the end of this month, I will strive to reach the Bright Moon Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "In October, during the battle of the freshers from the ten schools, I''ll aim to take first place."


    If both could be completed as such, each would yield 20 million Blue Star Coins, totaling 40 million Blue Star Coins.


    That would solve Li Yuan''s current difficulties.


    ...


    After exiting the virtual network, Li Yuan connected with Wan Qinghe via V-call.


    The video projection formed.


    "Li Yuan," Wan Qinghe appeared in the projection, smiling at Li Yuan.


    From the background, he was in the Martial Hall office.


    "Uncle," Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    After exchanging pleasantries for a while.


    "Uncle Wan, I need your help with something," Li Yuan got to the point: "The rehabilitation hospital''s ''Professor Zhong,'' whom I asked you to contact last time, has devised a three-phase rehabilitation plan for my uncle. I would like to start the first phase and hope you could oversee it for me."


    "Rehabilitation plan? The one costing over 70 million Blue Star Coins?" Wan Qinghe was slightly surprised.


    "That''s the one."


    "I would like to give you the money to communicate with Professor Zhong," Li Yuan said with a smile, "No need to reveal the truth to my uncle for now, just let him receive treatment. Do you have time?"


    If it were anyone else, Li Yuan would not trust them with tens of millions of Blue Star Coins.


    But Wan Qinghe?


    Given his strength, status, and relationship, there was no need for him to embezzle the money.


    "Haha, no problem," Wan Qinghe readily agreed.


    Before long,


    16 million Blue Star Coins were transferred by Li Yuan into Wan Qinghe''s account.


    The video call ended.


    "Li Yuan is not somebody who can''t distinguish what''s important; he''s not the idiot who would throw money away without regard for his own cultivation," Wan Qinghe''s smile receded within the office, he thought silently: "Then, spending this sum of money probably won''t affect his cultivation."


    "It seems,"


    "He''s doing quite well at Kunlun Martial University," Wan Qinghe remarked with a slight smile.


    He didn''t think there was anything wrong with what Li Yuan did; on the contrary, he quite admired it.


    To be so grateful to his uncle,


    By extrapolation, his treatment of other seniors and benefactors would often not be too poor.


    ...


    After transferring the money,


    Li Yuan, far away at Kunlun Martial University, suppressed many thoughts and continued his regular cultivation of spear technique, cultivation methods, visualization method, and battles on the Starry Skies Fighting Network...


    The next day, on August 2nd,


    Past five in the early morning, Li Yuan, who was practicing with the long spear in the underground martial arts room, suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate.


    Signifying that a significant message had arrived


    "Hmm?"


    "What''s the matter?" Li Yuan stopped with his long spear and clicked on the screen of his bracelet, and a screen unfolded, quickly scanning through it.


    "It''s from the school,"


    "A notice of death?" Li Yuan looked at the grey notification document on the screen, his expression shifting slightly.


    "...Qi He, Fan Jin... and eleven other school teachers died in a Star Realm on a rescue mission on the 1st of August, 2043 Seven Stars calendar..." Li Yuan read the names of the eleven teachers on the notification, his mind reeling in shock.


    Especially one familiar name¡ªFan Jin!


    The kind-faced elder who had given him guidance on multiple occasions, was he truly gone?

 Chapter 138: 120 Li Yuan, You Made a Mistake (Request for Monthly Votes)

    ```


    Within just one second, Li Yuan unconsciously clicked on the "Teacher List" in the APP, and after checking several times,


    He finally confirmed it.


    The ''Fan Jin'' mentioned in the obituary announcement was indeed Teacher Fan Jin, who had taught him before.


    Because among the hundreds of teachers at Kunlun Martial University, there was only one Fan Jin.


    "Teacher Fan." Li Yuan fell silent.


    In an instant, an indescribable train of thought wrapped around Li Yuan''s mind.


    It wasn''t the sadness of losing a loved one, but an inexplicable sadness and melancholy.


    To be honest, Li Yuan''s impression of Teacher Fan Jin was not very deep; they had met during an invitational event at Jiangbei Martial University.


    At that time, it was Fan Jin and Li Yang who came to see Li Yuan together and signed an S-level intensive training contract.


    In the months between the invitational event and the college entrance exam, Fan Jin had made multiple video contacts to instruct and guide Li Yuan.


    For example, Li Yuan''s choice to use the "Body Cleansing Marrow Technique" for cultivation was guided by a cultivation document sent by Fan Jin.


    Beyond that, there weren''t many interactions between the two.


    Even after entering Kunlun Martial University, due to teaching reasons, Li Yuan and Fan Jin had met only once.


    Were their feelings deep? Not really.


    After all, they had little real-life interaction, and Fan Jin had never directly coached Li Yuan.


    But in Li Yuan''s heart, Fan Jin was a dedicated and respectable teacher.


    Unexpectedly.


    In the blink of an eye, the kind elder had died just like that.


    "A rescue operation in some Star Realm?" Li Yuan glanced through the reason stated in the obituary.


    He immediately thought of yesterday noon when Teacher Li Yang had received a message and left in a hurry.


    It was probably the same incident.


    "Not just Teacher Fan Jin."


    "There were ten other teachers." Li Yuan''s gaze unconsciously swept over the names of the other ten teachers.


    Just one battle, because of an unnamed rescue operation,


    had cost the lives of eleven Prime Warriors?


    And at least they were high-level Prime Warriors.


    "War." Li Yuan thought of the Rob Sea.


    He thought of his uncle, who had been injured before and had almost died. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The war with the Alien Race is a battle to the death." Li Yuan whispered to himself, "Now, all I can do is to strive to become stronger."


    Standing in place.


    Li Yuan was silent for a long time, and in the end, he gently closed his smart wristband and once again gripped the long spear standing next to him.


    He gripped it tighter than before.


    Then, he continued to practice his spear technique.


    "Whoosh~" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The shadow of the spear danced, at times like the rolling flow of stars, vast and unstoppable.


    At times the flash of the spear shimmered, like a raging river, each move and style continuous without end.


    That night.


    Li Yuan was moved, his heart was calmer, and his spear technique grew even more fierce.


    ...


    August 2nd, during the day.


    The sky started to drizzle.


    The school notification was not only sent to Li Yuan.


    All students were aware that eleven teachers had died in battle the day before.


    Apart from a few students who had died during the previous days'' combat assessments,


    the entire sky over Kunlun Martial University seemed to be shrouded in a layer of somber sadness.


    Around ten in the morning.


    All students received another notification message: "Due to a large number of teachers undertaking war missions, the teaching tasks of the following institutes and grade levels are temporarily suspended."


    The classes for freshmen at the Sixth Institute were all halted.


    Because the three vice deans and a large number of lecturing teachers were temporarily unreachable.


    Li Yuan did not seek out other students but continued to cultivate alone in the villa.


    Everything proceeded according to his own cultivation plan.


    As if nothing had happened.


    ...


    After the noon nutritional meal and blood-qi potion,


    at two o''clock in the afternoon, Li Yuan was preparing to practice the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, you have received a transfer notice of 16 million Blue Star Coins from ''Wan Qinghe''," the smart assistant suddenly sounded an alert.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan showed a hint of surprise, and with it a trace of confusion: "Why is Uncle Wan transferring the money back again?"


    Before Li Yuan could make a call to Wan Qinghe, he had already received a communication alert from him.


    "Answer." Li Yuan immediately said.


    A holographic screen formed.


    It showed the appearance of Wan Qinghe; looking at the background, he seemed to be at his own home.


    "Uncle Wan, what''s the matter?" Li Yuan was about to speak.


    "Li Yuan, don''t ask, just listen to me," Wan Qinghe said with a hint of helplessness: "Your uncle will probably call you on V-chat soon. I can''t talk him out of it or hide anything from him."


    Li Yuan was stunned¡ªhide it? What was there to hide?


    "Or let''s say, your uncle is more capable than you imagine, much more capable," Wan Qinghe sighed: "He''s only working as a middle manager in a state-owned enterprise; he is truly underutilizing his talents. In my life, I haven''t admired many people, but your uncle is one of them."


    ```


    "If you can persuade your uncle, talk to me again."


    Li Yuan grew increasingly puzzled. What on earth could have prompted Uncle Wan to say such a thing?


    "Beep~"


    The intelligent assistant''s voice rang out once more, "Master, Li Changzhou is calling you."


    "Your uncle is calling you, take the call first. We can talk more when you have time," Wan Qinghe said.


    "Alright, Uncle Wan." Li Yuan nodded.


    He understood that the issue lay with his uncle, not with Wan Qinghe.


    After hanging up the video call, Li Yuan took the call from his uncle, Li Changzhou.


    The video communication was established, and the figure of Li Changzhou appeared on the screen.


    Li Changzhou''s complexion looked healthy, full of spirit, yet he was very thin, appearing to have aged a decade or more since last year.


    "Uncle," Li Yuan began, his voice involuntarily lowering by several degrees.


    "What you have done is not right," Li Changzhou got straight to the point, his gaze gentle yet firm, as it had always been when looking directly at Li Yuan.


    Inside, Li Yuan couldn''t help feeling a twinge of panic.


    In front of his uncle, Li Changzhou, Li Yuan had always been like a child.


    "The first treatment payment of 16 million, totaling 74 million for the entire treatment? And to think you planned to hide it from me, not even consulting me?" Li Changzhou said slowly, "Li Yuan, what exactly were you thinking?"


    "Uncle, how did you find out?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "I''m only injured, not senile. I used to be a martial artist too," Li Changzhou shook his head. "This morning, Professor Zhong sent me the treatment list. I consulted a few classmates and soon realized that the items on the list far exceeded their apparent prices, even including High Origin products from the Star Realm... That''s when I knew something was off."


    "In any case, I''m aware of it now," Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan. "This was the wrong move."


    "My body is already healed. I have been discharged for quite some time."


    "The Martial Arts Hall has also arranged free post-operative care, and the national support systems are very comprehensive. There''s no need for such an expensive treatment plan," Li Changzhou shook his head. "It''s unnecessary."


    Conviction could be heard in Li Changzhou''s voice.


    "Free care isn''t good enough," Li Yuan shook his head. "Uncle, I''ve asked the doctors. With just that level of care, your body can''t possibly recover to its peak."


    "Besides, spending this money doesn''t affect me," Li Yuan spoke candidly. "Rest assured, this money isn''t borrowed from anyone; I earned it."


    "Earned it?"


    "How can you earn money when you''ve only been in university for a month?" Li Changzhou scrutinized Li Yuan, his voice full of doubt. "Isn''t it from the contracts with the Martial Hall, university, or some competitions at the university?"


    "Right," Li Yuan nodded. "But this money is mine, and using it to treat your body, why can''t I?"


    "Wrong!"


    Li Changzhou''s voice suddenly rose, tinged with a barely concealed anger. "Li Yuan! You''re mistaken!"


    "This money isn''t yours!! In essence, it belongs to the state, to all the taxpayers."


    "You''re only in control of it because of your martial talents," Li Changzhou''s voice was deep and forceful.


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    He began to faintly grasp his uncle''s point.


    "Have you considered whether everything you''ve done up to now truly deserves such a large amount of money?" Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan.


    "An ordinary person toils for a year just to earn a bit over a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins."


    "And you? In less than a year since high school, you''ve received several tens of millions of Blue Star Coins, not even including the various teacher resources and free cultivation resources."


    "You work hard at school, have a villa to yourself, people providing you everything you need, no worries about food, clothing, or housing, plus a large sum of money as long as you concentrate on cultivating and improving your strength... Do you think all this comes without a price? That it''s something others owe you?"


    "This money isn''t just numbers pulled out of thin air."


    "Every single Blue Star Coin represents the hard work of countless people behind it, with martial artists dying in the Star Realm, ordinary people toiling away, resulting in equivalent goods," Li Changzhou looked directly at Li Yuan. "You''ve studied for so many years, don''t you understand this basic economic principle?"


    Li Yuan was silent.


    How could he not understand?


    From high school until now, the state, or rather human civilization, including all kinds of teachers, must have spent nearly fifty or sixty million Blue Star Coins on him.


    "Why do we have a widespread examination system across the alliance?"


    "Why do we cultivate martial artists with all our might? Why do we allocate vast resources to your group?" Li Changzhou gazed at Li Yuan, sighing. "You should understand better than I do."


    "You know better than me."


    "Our human civilization has always been faced with the threat of extinction! If we''re not strong, we die!!"


    "Investing vast resources to cultivate you, the martial talents, is entrusting our hopes to you."


    "Hopes that you would eventually be able to stand up and shoulder the responsibility of protecting civilization," Li Changzhou asserted gravely.


    "Uncle, I can earn this money back later..." Li Yuan''s voice was hesitant.


    "That''s for the future."


    "If this money was earned through your own efforts in the Star Realm, I wouldn''t mind spending it; it wouldn''t concern others."


    "But this money isn''t truly earned by you yet," Li Changzhou fixed his gaze on Li Yuan. "True, you have the authority over these funds, and actually, no one would care how you spend them."


    "But I taught you that as a person, you can be selfish, but there should be a line in your heart."


    "Previously, when you gave money to your aunt in secret, mainly to cultivate your younger brother and sister, and the amount wasn''t too much, I didn''t stop you."


    "But now, spending so much money on a cripple like me, if those who struggled to gather vast resources to cultivate you knew, would they understand?" Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan. "They would only feel hurt!"


    "They would only think their hard work was wasted," Li Changzhou said somberly.


    "You''re not a cripple, uncle," Li Yuan couldn''t help but retort. "You''re a hero; these things are what you deserve."


    "Hero?"


    "In these past decades, the tens of thousands of soldiers and martial artists who died at Rob Sea, are they not more heroic than me?" Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan. "In these past centuries, just in Xia Country, fighting against the Star Realm Creatures, the tens of millions that have perished, isn''t each one of them a hero? Who among them is inferior to me?"


    "Of all the human civilization to this day, aren''t the millions of fallen martial artists heroes?"


    "Do they all have the same treatment as I do?"


    Li Yuan opened his mouth.


    But he couldn''t refute it.


    Because it''s impossible for all fallen and disabled warriors to have such treatment.


    The resources of entire human civilization are finite, especially precious High Origin Treasures and martial resources, which are mostly supplied to the living martial artists.

 Chapter 140: 122: Fourth Level High Rank, Bright Moon

    The prompts on the Divine Palace panel flickered, and Li Yuan took notice, but he did not stop to check as he had in the past.


    Instead, he continued practicing with his spear.


    His movements were as graceful as the wind, with his long spear dancing mightily without faltering, each thrust erupting with inconceivable might.


    Stellar Illumination, Galaxy Waterfall, Dawn Piercing the Clouds, Meteor Fall... Li Yuan executed each of his four major techniques in turn, his entire being faintly imbued with the essence of the stars.


    Ten times!


    A hundred times! A thousand times!


    The insights gained from months of solitary spear practice, the life-and-death struggles in combat assessments, the guidance from Teacher Li Yang, the combat wisdom from Teacher Jiang Lun and the other two sparring partners... it all amounted to what many others would take years or even longer to amass in spear training.


    At this moment, at the instant of perfect synergy between Li Yuan''s heart and his long spear.


    It burst forth completely.


    "[Your Spear Technique Skill Realm has risen from 62% at the Fourth Level to 63% at the Fourth Level]," an occasional prompt still flashed on the Divine Palace panel.


    Advancing, Straight Thrust, Cleaving Spear, Retreating Right, Sweeping Spear, Crushing Spear... If observed by a Spear Technique Master, one would discover that Li Yuan was gradually entering a special state of ''clear-sightedness''.


    His mind was completely empty. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And his spirit fully unified.


    ...


    This practice session lasted until past seven o''clock in the evening, before Li Yuan finally came out of his self-forgetful state.


    He exited that special mindset.


    "Phew~" Fatigue from every part of his body swept over him like a tide, making Li Yuan involuntarily put down his long spear and sit down on the ground.


    "It''s past seven?"


    "I was so engrossed that I practiced for nearly five hours?" Looking at the time, Li Yuan secretly sighed in relief: "Lucky I had some of the High Origin Spirit Spring just two days ago and ate plenty at noon, otherwise I would really not have been able to keep up from the afternoon until evening."


    As his focus shifted from the long spear, hunger pangs immediately struck Li Yuan.


    He quickly ordered five nutrition meals.


    Then, Li Yuan got up, dragging his exhausted body, and downed a bottle of First Rank Qi and Blood Potion from the rest room.


    Having reached the level that Li Yuan was at, Qi and Blood Potions had transitioned from being supplements to ''stamina restoration potions'', gradually diminishing in their role of enhancing physical quality.


    "Spear Technique." Li Yuan put down the empty bottle and glanced at the Divine Palace panel, suddenly stunned.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 12.8 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 4590 kilograms


    Speed: 34.8 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: Level 20.5


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 25% (Current limit 25%)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 65%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 48%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 67%)


    ...


    "65%?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised, his epiphany had increased his mastery by more than 10%.


    Even his Movement Technique had improved significantly.


    "Physical Quality has improved by 0.1 level, and my spiritual power by 0.5 level," Li Yuan thought in astonishment.


    Just one afternoon.


    "Teacher Li Yang once said."


    "The mind is the most powerful force. When the heart has enlightenment, all aspects will be improved," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "The progress of the mind has greatly enhanced my control over my body during my epiphany."


    "The more complete the mind, the more natural the growth of spiritual power."


    "Body." Li Yuan closed his eyes and surveyed his interior, feeling an even deeper connection to his body, barely sensing the flow of every drop of blood.


    The pulsing and operation of the five internal organs seemed to be within his control.


    "Is this what High Rank Fourth Level body awareness feels like?" Li Yuan marveled to himself.


    The higher the skill, the deeper the excavation of bodily strength, the more terrifying the progress of physical quality.


    This is also why those martial arts geniuses, even after breaking through the Life Level of 15, could still improve several levels in a year.


    The gap between geniuses and ordinary people gradually formed.


    Until it became completely insurmountable.


    "With this special epiphany."


    "For the coming period, my Spear Technique should not slow down," Li Yuan pondered, "Only the ''Subtlety'' of moving from high rank Fourth Level to perfect Fourth Level can stop me now."


    Before reaching Subtlety, all Li Yuan needed was time.


    If it were any other Martial Artist at level fifteen or so.


    After reaching High Rank Fourth Level in skill, due to the weakness of spiritual power, it would be very difficult to sense the whole body and near impossible to achieve Subtlety.


    This is the difference in foundation.


    This is also why most martial arts geniuses can only hope for Subtlety after becoming a Prime Warrior.


    But for Li Yuan, the bottleneck of spiritual power simply didn''t exist.


    Strong spiritual power was a crucial reason for Li Yuan''s rapid progress.


    ...


    After eating, Li Yuan felt refreshed and took a bath.


    After some reflection, he initiated a call to Wan Qinghe.


    Soon the video link connected.


    Wan Qinghe''s figure appeared.


    "Uncle Wan," Li Yuan greeted with a smile, "I hope I''m not disturbing you by calling so late."


    "Not at all," Wan Qinghe replied with a smile, "How did it go? Did your uncle agree?"


    "No," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "I guessed you wouldn''t persuade him," Wan Qinghe said with a touch of regret, "I contacted him during the day. I don''t fully agree with his views, but I have to admire your uncle''s resolve."


    "Actually, I offered to help him this morning... and was declined as well."


    "If his determination was aimed at someone else, that would be another matter."


    "But your uncle is applying it to himself," Wan Qinghe continued with emotion, "I personally couldn''t do it."


    Li Yuan listened in silence.


    If it were his aunt, brother or sister in trouble, and his uncle refused treatment, Li Yuan would never just stand by.


    But this rehabilitation and longevity plan was for Li Changzhou himself.


    Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan and continued, "As for the state rewards and Martial Hall appropriations for martial arts geniuses, though the purpose is to encourage your cultivation, part of it is indeed a ''Settling-In Fund'' for you to practice with peace of mind."


    "Including villas in areas like Starfire South Lake District... that''s the idea," Wan Qinghe explained, "The ''Rehabilitation and Longevity Plan'' you created for your uncle indeed exceeds the usual settling-in expenses."


    "But how should I put it? The money is given to you, and how you spend it is really up to you," Wan Qinghe said, "Martial arts ultimately seek a clear and unhindered mind."


    "This is also why I didn''t stop you last May when you asked me after I understood your intentions," he added.


    "Mmm." Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Li Yuan was aware of this; in martial arts cultivation, one amasses great power within oneself, which is why the Martial Hall and even human civilization afford such great privileges and freedom to the ''martial artist community''.


    Because it''s uncontrollable.


    The mighty martial force of a martial artist originates from within, and nobody can take it away.


    "You''re thinking right, and you''re doing right," Wan Qinghe said. "Your uncle... he''s also done nothing wrong, and is even more admirable. People like your uncle, once they decide something, others find it very difficult to shake their will."


    Li Yuan sighed in his heart.


    Why didn''t he dare to tell his uncle at the beginning? It was because he feared his uncle would refuse if he knew the truth.


    And indeed, that was the case.


    "My uncle resists internally; I can''t force him," Li Yuan shook his head and said. "I can only wait until I am strong enough to find a solution, just worried that if it drags on for too long, his body will weaken even more."


    Working hard to become stronger, and then to earn money on his own, that was Li Yuan''s goal.


    "Li Yuan."


    "You don''t need to worry too much. I had Professor Zhong re-examine him today, and your uncle is only in his forties. His body has no major issues, it''s just that his vitality is severely damaged," Wan Qinghe said. "Even if it''s a year or two later, the impact won''t be fatal."


    "Moreover."


    "With the current technology, even if we implement a rehabilitation plan, his body can''t recover to its peak. We can only say that his expected lifespan would be extended by a decade or two," Wan Qinghe said. "Rather than that, you might set your sights further in the future.


    If you come across some heavenly materials and treasures, not only could you restore his health, but his lifespan could become even longer than that of an average person."


    "Heavenly materials and treasures?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "Yes."


    "Some treasures in the depths of the Star Realm are quite special and have extremely unique healing effects on ordinary people. Regrowing flesh and reviving bones are a bit of an exaggeration, but for cases like your uncle''s, the effect is definitely ten times better than any rehabilitation plan," Wan Qinghe said with a smile.


    "However, these treasures are extremely rare, and as soon as one is found, it is immediately used up. I only know about them from conversations with my senior brothers."


    "Once you become a top-grade Origin Martial Artist, you will have more connections and know more people, then you can think of a plan," Wan Qinghe said with a smile.


    "Alright," Li Yuan felt a stir in his heart.


    Yes!


    He was being somewhat shortsighted.


    Rehabilitation plans extending his uncle''s life expectancy to ninety were only the limit of current human technology... But some treasures from the Star Realm could work even better.


    "I''ll leave it at that."


    "You concentrate on your cultivation at Kunlun Martial University," Wan Qinghe said with a smile. "I will keep an eye on your family."


    "Thank you, Uncle Wan," Li Yuan said gratefully.


    ...


    Ending the video call.


    After his exchange with Wan Qinghe, Li Yuan felt even more at peace internally.


    He went out onto the balcony.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but gaze into the distance, where the lights of each villa were on.


    In the further direction lay the school''s ''Logistics Department'' building.


    At eight o''clock at night, it was still brightly lit.


    With Li Yuan''s exceptional eyesight, aided by the flood of lights, he could still see numerous staff bustling about, navigating in their flying vehicles.


    To serve so many students, the logistics department had to work 24 hours a day.


    A gust of wind brushed gently against his face, clearing Li Yuan''s thoughts even more.


    "Going forward,"


    "I''ll strive to pour all the prize money I win into cultivation," Li Yuan silently pledged. "I''ll advance to level 14 as quickly as possible to see what Spiritual Guidance truly is."


    "Right now?"


    "With my grasp of the Stellar Four Techniques, I should have a great chance at challenging the Bright Moon Stage," Li Yuan turned and walked towards the rest room. "I''m still 300 Points short; I''ll make a push tonight."


    "Let''s see if I can break into the Bright Moon Stage in one go."


    Li Yuan needed to secure the 20 million Blue Star Coins of the Bright Moon Stage by August 29th.


    ...


    Over three hours later.


    In the virtual network, the Starry Skies Fighting Network, Li Yuan was engaged in fierce battles with one opponent after another.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!" Li Yuan''s long spear whirled, as he put his all into displaying the Stellar Spear Technique, every move swirling like the stars, its power terrifying.


    Not only could he easily parry the opponent''s war hammer attacks, but the light from his spear also forced his foe into disarray.


    "Stellar Four Techniques."


    "Truly wonderful," Li Yuan immersed himself in combat. "Stellar Illumination is for defense, making one''s self unbreakable like the stars."


    "Galaxy Waterfall is for consecutive strikes. If given enough time to build up the Twelve Continuous Strikes, its power is the strongest."


    "Dawn Piercing the Clouds is speed, using the utmost speed to burst forth and kill the enemy."


    "Meteor Fall is fierce. Though not as fast as Dawn Piercing the Clouds, it excels at direct bombardment," the more Li Yuan fought, the more exhilarating he felt.


    Such Second Rank Secret Manual moves, taken individually, each had its flaws.


    But when combined, their power grew exponentially.


    "Puff!"


    After dozens of exchanges of moves, accompanied by a streak of spear light across the neck, the opponent finally could not hold on any longer.


    Their body turned into nothingness.


    "Congratulations Defender¡¤Yuan, you''ve won the stage match. Points +9," the system''s prompt instantly sounded.


    Li Yuan noted the change in points.


    "No time to rest. Fighting nearly forty fights is indeed tiring," Li Yuan glanced at the points on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Stage Match: Fallen Star Stage.


    Points: 994 points (1000 Points required for the promotion match)


    Stage Win Rate: 76%


    ...


    In the past few months.


    As his skill level increased, even though he only entered the Combat Network occasionally to fight, Li Yuan''s win rate was on the rise.


    Especially after today''s breakthrough in spear technique, Li Yuan fought 37 battles, losing only two.


    The two he lost, one was indeed terrifying with movement techniques and swordplay in combination.


    The other was a Bright Moon Stage master.


    "Just 6 points short. If I''m lucky, I''ll be able to participate in the promotion match after the next battle," Li Yuan reached out to click match. "I hope the matching will be quick."


    All these hours, Li Yuan had spent a fair amount of time simply ''waiting to match''.


    After all, even though it''s global matchmaking, the number of high-level experts in the Bright Moon Stage is not that many.


    To Li Yuan''s surprise, after just five seconds.


    "Buzz~"


    Along with a flash of light, Li Yuan entered a brand new battle arena and immediately spotted his opponent in the distance.


    "Tian Dazhuang?"


    "Li Yuan?" Tian Dazhuang was equally astounded.

 Chapter 141: 123: Being the Matchmaker! Number One in Jiangbei!

    ```


    "To actually get matched up."


    "Long time no see." Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang were both incredibly surprised.


    You see, it was almost midnight now, and by all accounts, most students would have already gone to sleep.


    Plus, since it''s global matchmaking, the chances of being matched up were slim¡ªit was just too coincidental.


    "You''re not sleeping this late?" Li Yuan said with a smile, not making the first move.


    It''s not every day you run into a friend, so you tend to chat a little more.


    "Aren''t you up late too?" Tian Dazhuang said with a laugh, casually holding a heavy saber in his hand.


    The two of them hadn''t met many times.


    To be precise, they had only interacted once,


    But it was from that single encounter that both felt the other was a person of similar aspirations and character.


    It was quite rare.


    "Heard you went to Kunlun Martial University, how is it feeling?" Tian Dazhuang asked proactively.


    "Not bad, just that there aren''t any rivals among my peers, it''s a bit boring." Li Yuan shook his head, "Besides me, the two strongest are Wu Luo."


    "Wu Luo?" Tian Dazhuang was puzzled at first, then nodded his head, "I have a bit of an impression."


    His memory of Wu Luo was vague.


    During the Jiangbei Martial University recruitment event, he hadn''t paid much attention to students below the Fourth Level.


    Then Tian Dazhuang laughed, "Makes sense, with your strength, going to Kunlun Martial University must be a killing spree. If it weren''t for your lack of awakened Martial Spirit, you definitely would have come to Starfire University, then it would''ve been more lively."


    "What about you? Still number one?" Li Yuan teased.


    "No chance."


    "In this Combat Assessment, I didn''t even make the top fifty. There''s a big gap between my Physical Quality and those freaks up front, it''ll take at least another year to catch up." Tian Dazhuang shrugged, "However, every virtual match, I do give a lot of people a good beating."


    "Speaking of skill alone, I''m probably in the top ten of our year," Tian Dazhuang said frankly.


    This wasn''t bragging, but treating Li Yuan as a peer.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. Tian Dazhuang''s talent in skills indeed was extremely high.


    He reached the Fourth Level several months earlier than Li Yuan had.


    "To be able to match up with me, seems like you''ve improved a lot. Your Fallen Star rank points must have exceeded 800 by now," Tian Dazhuang said excitedly to Li Yuan.


    "994 points," Li Yuan smiled.


    Tian Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering that the system had reminded him his opponent had 994 points.


    He was too excited seeing Li Yuan and had simply forgotten.


    Tian Dazhuang, also an expert with over 900 points in Fallen Star rank, knew the significance of this score.


    He was only 6 points away from advancing to the Bright Moon rank.


    "Got it."


    "If you win against me, you could participate in the promotion match?" Tian Dazhuang showed a smile, "Impressive, I just reached 900 points today and haven''t been in the Bright Moon promotion match yet."


    "But in this fight, I won''t hold back." Tian Dazhuang was confident.


    Although Li Yuan had a higher score, in Starry Skies Fighting Network battles, scores do not represent strength.


    Subconsciously, Tian Dazhuang still considered himself stronger; this wasn''t blind confidence. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After all, he entered the Fourth Level earlier than Li Yuan and was studying at the better Starfire University.


    "Haha, it''s better if you don''t hold back." Li Yuan also laughed, "I''ve wanted to battle you for a while now. I regretted not meeting you during the invitation match."


    It was indeed regrettable.


    If skills were compared, Li Yuan likely would not be a match for Tian Dazhuang during the Jiangbei Martial University invitation event.


    But in his bones, Li Yuan was unafraid of battles; winning or losing wasn''t the goal.


    Enjoying the process is what truly enhances oneself.


    "Haha, alright, let''s fight it out." Tian Dazhuang said with a laugh.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang stopped talking, just silently staring at each other, both beginning to adjust their state.


    In virtual duels, both fighters'' Physical Quality is set at level 10.0.


    What''s tested is their combat skills.


    "Attack!" The moment Tian Dazhuang moved, he was like a cannonball shot out, pouncing towards Li Yuan like lightning.


    The heavy saber swung straight down in a cleaving motion.


    A heavy saber is longer and much heavier than a regular combat saber, with greater momentum and weight¡ªit can be considered a heavy weapon.


    "Haha, bring it on." Li Yuan laughed out loud, advancing instead of retreating.


    His long spear leaped forward, thrusting straight like lightning in a counter-attack.


    Can a saber be longer than a spear?


    "Clang!" Tian Dazhuang quickly retracted his heavy saber, holding it across like a small shield to block in front of him, and straightway caught the tip of the spear.


    "Clang~" As soon as it touched, there wasn''t the expected head-to-head clash, and Tian Dazhuang had already skillfully unloaded the force and retreated.


    "Running away?"


    Li Yuan smiled, surged forward like a gust of wind, noticeably faster than Tian Dazhuang; his long spear whirling high, then crashing down fiercely upon Tian Dazhuang.


    This blow, if it landed, was enough to shatter one''s brains.


    "Such fast speed." Tian Dazhuang''s expression changed slightly, sensing something was amiss.


    Li Yuan was attacking too rapidly, giving him no chance to evade.


    "Boom~" Tian Dazhuang used his saber to block, feeling a terrifying force transmit through the long spear to his makeshift shield. Even though he tried his best to apply unloading techniques, his arms still went numb from the impact.


    "Boom!" Tian Dazhuang retreated like lightning, warily watching Li Yuan.


    If Tian Dazhuang was full of confidence before the clash,


    Then after this exchange, he understood that the other''s combat skills clearly surpassed his own.


    "Improved this quickly?"


    "During the Jiangbei Martial University invitation event, he had only just reached the Fourth Level, it''s been less than five months, and he''s already stronger than me?" Tian Dazhuang was shocked.


    At the time of the Jiangbei invitation, Tian Dazhuang''s Sword Technique was nearly at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level.


    After so long, and studying at Starfire University with the finest training, his Sword Technique was nearly at the High Rank of the Fourth Level.


    In the eyes of his teachers, he was already considered a rare talent.


    ```

 Chapter 142: 123: A Favor for a Grown-up! Number One in Jiangbei!_2

    But Li Yuan''s progress was noticeably faster than his.


    "Just because my technique is a bit inferior doesn''t mean I can''t win," Tian Dazhuang said with unrivaled calmness, no longer clashing head-on with Li Yuan but instead shifting to a grappling fight.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, was fiercely aggressive, his long spear like a dragon, striking at Tian Dazhuang like lightning again and again.


    The Stellar Spear Technique was best at defense, particularly against being besieged or facing stronger opponents.


    Stellar, flawless, stable, and vast.


    Defensively impregnable, and when attacking, it was overwhelmingly powerful, fierce and aggressive. There wasn''t much variation, but its aim was to sweep and crush, to completely shatter any opponents in front.


    ...


    In the virtual network, the Starry Skies Fighting Network hosted a very special area that normal people could not access.


    Here, there were two individuals.


    One wore a white robe, the other, a black robe.


    In front of them was a holographic projection showcasing the scene of Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang''s bout.


    "Tian Dazhuang, a key talent cultivated by Starfire University this year, is actually not a match for this Li Yuan?" the person in the white robe said softly, "His spear technique is really good."


    "Yes, the Stellar Spear Technique. Li Yuan has already grasped its true essence," the person in the black robe said slowly, "Not even eighteen, and he''s at the high rank of the Fourth Level."


    "And according to his information, he reached the Fallen Star level only in March. "


    "In less than five months, he rushed from stepping into the Fourth Level all the way to high rank?" the person in the white robe said in surprise, "A student from Kunlun Martial University?"


    "Yes," the person in the black robe laughed softly, "It seems that Xia Country has seen the rise of an extraordinary genius."


    The two of them.


    Were Xia Country''s ''Observers'' at the Starry Skies Fighting Network, watching a large number of battles daily and marking certain combatants as noteworthy.


    "Look at that."


    "Oh!" exclaimed the person in the white robe suddenly, "It looks like Tian Dazhuang is about to lose. It''s quite impressive that he''s managed to hold on for so long."


    ...


    In the combat arena, Li Yuan and Tian Dazhuang had reached an intensely heated stage of the fight.


    "Clang!"


    "Bang~" "Pong~" The long spear and the broadsword collided over and over, with Li Yuan clearly in the dominant position.


    In terms of burst strength, speed, and skill, Li Yuan held the advantage.


    The spear also had a certain advantage in an open field like the arena for hand-to-hand combat.


    An inch longer, an inch stronger.


    But Tian Dazhuang''s movement technique was excellent, moving again and again with simple yet highly effective steps, constantly evading Li Yuan''s fierce attacks.


    "Delay."


    "His movement technique is not as good as mine; look for an opportunity," Tian Dazhuang thought to himself, being a combat genius, quickly realizing this during the fight.


    "Even if I can''t win, I can still hone my sword technique," he thought to himself, fully engaged in the struggle.


    "Interesting."


    "Speaking of movement technique alone, I am indeed slightly inferior to Tian Dazhuang," Li Yuan revealed with a smile, "I''ve invested too much thought into my spear technique."


    In the Dragon Movement Technique? Li Yuan hardly practiced it deliberately, only incidentally as part of his training with punches and spears.


    The less one practices, the lower the skill level naturally.


    Li Yuan''s great improvement in spear technique in such a short time was also related to the time and effort he spent.


    "Such a fight."


    "Is also great practice for my own movement technique," Li Yuan did not employ his true killing moves.


    After dozens of exchanges, Li Yuan saw that Tian Dazhuang''s sword technique had not reached the high rank of the Fourth Level.


    His grasp on actual combat seemed to fall short compared to Li Yuan''s, and in overall strength, there was indeed a gap.


    Li Yuan, first out of respect for this friend,


    And second, to properly refine his own movement technique,


    Did not fully unleash his power.


    "Boom!" "Boom!"


    The two fought fiercely, but not just for sheer victory; it was more for honing their own weaknesses.


    As their strength was depleting, both were running low on stamina, and the speed of their moves gradually declined.


    In the virtual combat network, everything was a simulation of reality.


    Whether it was bleeding from an injury or fighting for too long, it would affect the performance of one''s strength.


    "Something''s not right."


    "It''s true that my movement technique is slightly stronger, but his body control is clearly better than mine, and his burst speed is even faster. The arena is only so big; he definitely has the opportunity to crush and kill me," Tian Dazhuang realized, "And furthermore, he doesn''t seem to have ever used his spear technique''s finishing move."


    A high rank in the Fourth Level with no knowledge of spear technique finishers? Is that possible?


    "Li Yuan''s strength is a cut above mine; he hasn''t fully erupted. Does he want to sharpen his movement technique?" Tian Dazhuang sighed inwardly, "Is he already so much stronger than me?"


    "Well."


    "Regardless, I''ll give it my all in this fight," Tian Dazhuang quickly adjusted his mindset, no longer pursuing ''victory,'' but instead aiming for pure combat.


    To enjoy this battle.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s long spear suddenly quickened, unleashing the ''Galaxy Waterfall''s'' Twelve Continuous Strikes, with the speed of the spear shadow skyrocketing instantly.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang! Clang!" The collisions were like lightning strikes.


    Tian Dazhuang felt wave after wave of overwhelming force barraging him, barely able to withstand it.


    "Kill!" Instead of retreating, Tian Dazhuang became even more ferocious, launching an offensive as an answer to the offensive, fully demonstrating his accomplishments in the sword technique.


    Tian Dazhuang, a farm boy who walked out from the mountains and rose all the way to Starfire University, was propelled by his absolute talent and cool judgement.


    Earning him the high expectations of countless people.


    In this moment, facing Li Yuan''s tempest-like spear attacks, Tian Dazhuang, under immense pressure, became ever more composed inside.


    Gradually.


    Tian Dazhuang entered a unique state, where he felt his sword technique becoming smoother and each strike he delivered was much faster and more forceful.


    "High Rank of the Fourth Level."


    "The Golden Cleaving Blade Technique''s fourth form, ''Mountain-splitting Sea-cleaving,''" Tian Dazhuang had an epiphany, finally glimpsing the hope of breaking through the bottleneck that had confined him for so long.


    His blade became faster.


    "Did he break through?"

    "A sudden enlightenment?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile, as he had already felt Tian Dazhuang''s sword technique was undergoing a rapid transformation.


    Subconsciously.


    Li Yuan''s long spear moved even faster, spear shadows intertwined, completely suppressing Tian Dazhuang.


    The build-up of the Twelve Continuous Strikes had already reached its apex, but Li Yuan controlled the spear momentum to switch and did not fully release it, instead applying full pressure on Tian Dazhuang, trying to give him even greater stress.


    Finally.


    Li Yuan felt Tian Dazhuang''s sword technique gradually becoming stable; it was clear the breakthrough was nearing its end.


    Tian Dazhuang''s eyes also became brighter, fixed on Li Yuan, as if seeing the hope of victory.


    "Haha."


    "Be careful, Dazhuang," Li Yuan suddenly laughed, spear shadows bursting forth like rollicking waves.


    Like a breached dam.


    "Boom!" The terrifying long spear tore through the vast sky, like a boulder whistling down, containing an unbelievable impact force.


    As fast as lightning, as heavy as a mountain.


    "Not good." Tian Dazhuang, who had just broken through, felt his joy not yet dissipated when his face drastically changed, sensing Li Yuan''s aura completely transformed, with an unshakeable presence.


    Subconsciously he raised his sword to counter.


    After one collision, Tian Dazhuang was blasted back several steps, his internal energy roiling uncomfortably.


    "Retreat!"


    Fighting the discomfort, Tian Dazhuang tried to dodge.


    "Dawn Piercing Clouds." Li Yuan, however, was on a roll, unleashing the Galaxy Waterfall and instantly following with the "Dawn Piercing Clouds" technique.


    "Whoosh!" Another dreadful spear light tore through the vast sky, its speed reaching the extreme, faster than the previous move.


    This was Li Yuan''s burst of maximum speed.


    "This quick?" Tian Dazhuang found it difficult to believe, barely able to see the burst of this spear thrust.


    He could only swing his sword subconsciously.


    "Pfft!"


    Before the broadsword could block the attack, the spear light had already swept past his neck, blood flowing.


    Tian Dazhuang felt his body becoming ethereal, understanding that this swift spear thrust had directly taken his life.


    He lost.


    It was an unquestionable defeat.


    But Tian Dazhuang harbored no feelings of defeat; he was utterly convinced by his loss and filled with gratitude. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Tian Dazhuang understood, if Li Yuan had fully erupted from the start, he would have been defeated in just tens of moves.


    The other party had seen his sword technique breakthrough and had consciously aided him, not exploding in full force.


    ...


    Whew! Tian Dazhuang''s figure completely vanished.


    "I won." Li Yuan revealed a smile, as he had just received the system prompt.


    Points reached 1000, and he could now enter the promotion match.


    "A fight, and my movement technique improved by 2%?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised, instantly understanding that this was because of greater control over his body.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan sensed something, it was a V-message from Tian Dazhuang.


    Just two words: "Thank you."


    This was their first exchange since adding each other on V. Li Yuan smiled and replied with three words: "You''re welcome."


    He closed the communication.


    "I won."


    "Back at the Jiangbei recruiting event, I was the number one in the combat assessment," Li Yuan thought, "The then universally acknowledged strongest skill holder Tian Dazhuang, now, has also fallen to my hands."


    "Of the million senior high students in Jiangbei Province," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "I, now, should truly be considered the number one in Jiangbei, right?"


    The number one in real combat!


    The number one in skill!


    "On this long Martial Path, surpassing each opponent, becoming stronger," Li Yuan grasped a hint of accomplishment.


    Martial Path, constantly surpassing, becoming ever stronger!


    "Confirm, participate in the Bright Moon promotion match," Li Yuan said deeply, instantly transforming into a streak of light and scattering away.


    ...


    "I won."


    "This Li Yuan, is truly remarkable, seeing Tian Dazhuang''s breakthrough, he actually allowed his opponent to break through," two observers in the Observation Space expressed their surprise.


    "He''s very confident," said the observer in black robes with a smile, "Such magnanimity is also very rare."


    "Indeed, it''s rather exceptional for Kunlun Martial University to produce such a student," the observer in white robes also nodded in approval.


    Some ten minutes later.


    "Oh, he won his Bright Moon promotion match, he won quite cleanly and decisively."


    "It wasn''t a challenge for him."


    "I''ll check... including those from the three top-tier famous schools, there are only 17 Bright Moon stage students of this year''s first-year students globally, adding him, and well, Tian Dazhuang should be able to reach it in a few days too."


    "Yes, but Li Yuan is very young."


    "He''s our Xia Country''s first to reach Bright Moon stage before turning 18 this year, and the third globally."


    "Let''s issue the rewards, and also notify Starfire Martial Hall and Kunlun Martial University directly, don''t wait for the Starry Skies Fighting Network to do it."

 Chapter 144: 124 Everyone is Shocked (28,000 Monthly Ticket Additional Release)

    Dongfang Ji, as the top human warrior and founder of the Starfire Martial Hall, spent most of his time on the distant planet Feixing. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, he paid great attention to his homeland, ''Xia Country.''


    For example, the ''Blue Star headquarters'' of the Starfire Martial Hall was located in Xia Country.


    Similarly, Blue Star''s Starfire University was located in the northern part of Xia Country''s capital.


    Starfire University was much smaller than Kunlun Martial University in terms of scale, because it recruited less than 400 students each year, and that was on a global scale.


    The entire school had fewer than 2,000 students.


    Each student would rank among the top echelon at any of the five renowned schools in Xia Country.


    Even those who were slightly better would almost feel like they were crushing others from a different dimension.


    Night, inside one of the student villas.


    "Phew!"


    Tian Dazhuang left the virtual network capsule and came out to the balcony, where he was greeted by the cold wind.


    "So strong."


    "Li Yuan''s spear is terrifyingly fast; it''s simply not like someone who has just touched the cusp of Fourth Level High Rank."


    "The gap between him and me is huge," Tian Dazhuang closed his eyes, recalling the battle they just had in the virtual network.


    If he had lost to some expert who had practiced for decades, Tian Dazhuang wouldn''t care.


    But he had lost to a peer whose skills used to be inferior to his own.


    To say there wasn''t the slightest ripple in Tian Dazhuang''s heart?


    That would be a lie.


    "In our battle, he completely controlled the field and was too calm¡ªthat level of combat consciousness is simply unimaginable," Tian Dazhuang shook his head.


    He thought himself calm enough, but still felt small emotional fluctuations.


    His exchange with Li Yuan, however, was absolutely rational, absolutely calm.


    From beginning to end, Li Yuan didn''t make a single mistake.


    Seeing his own breakthrough, Li Yuan would ease up, waiting for it to finish; and once Tian''s breakthrough ended, it was like a thunderstorm striking, sweeping him away directly.


    "He, at least half a month or even a month ago, must have already stepped into the Fourth Level High Rank," Tian Dazhuang sighed inwardly: "Such speed of cultivation is really exaggerated; I really wonder how he trains."


    "Even if it''s Dantai Feng, Gong Mi, or Salvatore, their speed of cultivation wouldn''t be this fast."


    In Jiangbei Province, Tian Dazhuang was a top genius, previously unparalleled in skill.


    In the Jiangbei invitational event, the Li Yuan, Wang Yu, and even Wu Dongdong of that time had a clear gap with him.


    At Starfire University, although his skills barely ranked among the top ten of his cohort, they were not the most elite.


    Dantai Feng, Gong Mi, Salvatore¡ªwhen these three had just enrolled, they already possessed Fourth Level High Rank skills and were among the top martial arts talents in the world.


    And all of them possessed Entry Rank physical quality.


    "Interesting."


    "Just in terms of skill, Li Yuan probably can''t make it into the top ten globally for freshmen," Tian Dazhuang revealed an enigmatic smile: "But with his rate of improvement... at next year''s global university martial arts contest, he will likely give many a surprise."


    "Tsk tsk! Our Jiangbei really does produce talents."


    "Uh-huh."


    "I should also thank him; without his help, I wouldn''t have been able to step into the Fourth Level High Rank," Tian Dazhuang didn''t envy Li Yuan.


    On the contrary, he admired Li Yuan.


    In his view, although Li Yuan''s family situation was slightly better than his own, they were not wealthy or powerful.


    To rise step by step, he must have also suffered a lot.


    "If Li Yuan is so formidable."


    "I can''t fall behind."


    "Continue to train in sword techniques, to stabilize my realm," Tian Dazhuang adjusted his mindset.


    He headed to the Martial Arts Room underground to continue his sword practice.


    ...


    In the virtual network, in the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    "Won."


    Li Yuan returned to his personal space, feeling somewhat contemplative: "If I hadn''t made a breakthrough yesterday, it would have been very difficult for me to win."


    Eighteen Rock Desert Tribe warriors.


    Each programmed with a Physical Quality no less than his own, and their skills were all at Fourth Level Initial Rank.


    The difficulty was too high.


    Any single one of them when facing Li Yuan alone would be killed by him in a few moves.


    But when more than ten of them joined forces, their strength was magnified manifold, and they even coordinated rescues. Li Yuan had to rely on his movement techniques to fight a protracted battle before he found opportunities to defeat them one by one.


    "Mirror." A thought crossed Li Yuan''s mind.


    Swish!


    A mirror appeared in front of him, in which Li Yuan''s reflection was crowned with a flashing crescent moon.


    It was dazzling!


    The symbol of the Bright Moon Stage.


    "In the virtual network, many well-known big streamers are about at my level," Li Yuan muttered to himself: "If I started live streaming under the title ''Underage Bright Moon Stage,'' it would probably be quite a draw too."


    It would likely be popular.


    But Li Yuan was just musing; getting distracted by such things would greatly impact his Martial Path training.


    Those Bright Moon Stage big streamers were mostly Prime Warriors whose strength had trouble advancing.


    Of course, putting themselves out there, they also earned quite a bit of money.


    "Congratulations, master, kudos, master," the sprite girl circled around Li Yuan, quite excitedly saying, "for reaching the Bright Moon Stage."


    "In the Blue Star''s list of outstanding young talents, master, you are now ranked 17th, in Xia Country you are 5th," the sprite girl said.


    "Global 17th, 5th in Xia Country?" Li Yuan revealed a slightly enigmatic smile.


    The motherland indeed was the world''s leading power, with an outpouring of martial arts prodigies indeed being extremely numerous.


    "One step at a time."


    "Last September, when I first entered the Blue Star Youth Rankings, I was ranked over four thousand. In less than a year, I''ve surged to 17th in the world."


    Li Yuan was very satisfied with this achievement in his heart.


    "I guess the top 16 must be in the top three global prestigious schools," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Among his peers, there were still 16 worthy of being surpassed by him.


    "Master, the 20 million Blue Star Coin reward from the Starry Skies Fighting Network will be credited to your account tomorrow," the elf girl said with a smile.


    "Good."


    ...


    Having achieved the Bright Moon Stage, Li Yuan didn''t continue to battle on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, but instead, he withdrew from the virtual network.


    He ate something.


    Time had already passed 12 o''clock.


    "After 12 o''clock, it''s time to practice the Visualization Method," Li Yuan glanced at the time. "A new day of training begins."


    Normal Martial Arts University students begin their training at 6 or 7 in the morning and finish before 10 at night, generally not going past 11 o''clock.


    But Li Yuan''s training schedule was different.


    It started at midnight and ended at 12 o''clock the next night.


    The core principle was ''perseverance''.


    ...


    Deep into the night, at the Jiang City Starfire Martial Hall.


    Inside a villa.


    Deep in sleep, Fei Qian was startled awake by the ring of his smart wristband.


    An important message had come through.


    As a 29th-Level Prime Warrior, his spirit was exceedingly robust, and he was merely sleeping lightly.


    "Hmm?" Fei Qian instantly woke up, sitting straight up in bed.


    Taking the smart wristband that was placed beside him, he clicked on the screen, and a holographic projection appeared, displaying a file. The content was not very long, but the message it contained was shocking.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Fourth Level High Rank? Bright Moon Stage?" Fei Qian was utterly astonished.


    Any last traces of sleepiness were gone.


    "This!"


    Fei Qian couldn''t quite describe his own feelings at the moment. He had always paid close attention to Li Yuan and valued him greatly.


    But he never expected that just a month after entering Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan would have made such great progress.


    "Wasn''t it in April that he reached 300 points in the Fallen Star category?" Fei Qian had a very good memory.


    "A monster indeed."


    "Right, he''s not even 18 years old yet?"


    "In the entire Xia Country, is he the first case this year?" Fei Qian, looking at the file''s content, grasped the key point.


    "It''s been decades since Jiang City produced a martial arts prodigy like this," he mused.


    Thinking this over,


    Fei Qian''s gaze landed on the final line of the file: "This information is for the knowledge of only those of Hall Master level or above within the city''s jurisdiction, not to be disclosed."


    The Human Alliance tends to protect peerless geniuses, keeping secrets under wraps as much as possible.


    After a brief contemplation,


    "Beep!"


    Fei Qian quickly dialed Wan Qinghe''s V-chat, and he answered promptly.


    "Fei, what''s the matter at this late hour?" Wan Qinghe said somberly.


    "Nothing major."


    "Just a small matter," Fei Qian''s voice was calm: "Prepare to transfer Li Yuan''s brother and sister into the Martial Hall''s affiliated middle school, especially his brother. Focus on his cultivation."


    "Additionally,"


    "Raise the safety level of his family by another notch, and ensure their absolute security," Fei Qian said bluntly.


    Wan Qinghe, jolted awake from his sleep, was still somewhat groggy.


    "Did you understand?" Fei Qian''s voice carried a hint of discontent.


    "Understood." Wan Qinghe snapped alert and immediately responded, "Don''t worry, Fei, I assure you the task will be completed."


    ...


    Kunlun Martial University, inside the Heilong Building, ablaze with light.


    The ninth floor.


    "Hmm?" Li Yang, who had a gloomy expression, was checking a list when he suddenly felt his smart wristband vibrate. He glanced at it on impulse.


    Upon seeing it, a look of astonishment crossed Li Yang''s face: "How is this possible?"


    "What''s wrong?" Dean Xu, sitting not far away, turned to look at Li Yang: "Did something happen at another observation point in the Kunlun Star Realm?"


    "No."


    Li Yang shook his head: "I just received a dispatch from an observer in the Xia Country on the Starry Skies Combat Network."


    "Li Yuan has just achieved the Bright Moon Stage," Li Yang said gravely to Dean Xu.


    "Bright Moon Stage? Li Yuan?"


    Dean Xu was initially puzzled, but then she realized, showing a trace of amazement: "Fourth Level High Rank? Is it the freshman Li Yuan?"


    "Yes." Li Yang nodded emphatically: "And he''s not even 18 years old yet."


    "He''s the first case in our Xia Country this year."


    Dean Xu was even more astounded.


    She hadn''t specifically focused on Li Yuan''s age before.


    Suddenly, Dean Xu showed a rare smile: "Lately, it''s been all bad news. Now, at last, there''s some good news. I believe Dean Hai will be very pleased when he hears about it."


    "Yes, Dean Hai should be returning tomorrow and will likely meet with Li Yuan."

 Chapter 145: 125: Dean Hai Arrives (Request for Monthly Tickets)

    August 3rd.


    Before 3 A.M., Li Yuan ended his cultivation practice with the Visualization Method, his energy and spirit fully restored to their peak.


    "This ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'' truly is an incredible method," Li Yuan marveled inwardly.


    The longer the time passed, the deeper his understanding of Martial Arts Cultivation became, and he could sense the terrifying aspects of the Visualization Method.


    Other students needed sleep, supplementary medication, physiotherapy, medicinal baths, and many other methods to maintain long-term mental focus and alleviate physical fatigue.


    Li Yuan? He didn''t need any of those, the Visualization Method was enough.


    All 24 hours of the day, often minus time for eating and the occasional lapse into daydreaming, he spent cultivating.


    In a sense, Li Yuan''s daily cultivation efficiency was equivalent to many students'' two days, or even longer.


    This was also why Li Yuan''s progress was so swift.


    Kung Fu!


    It requires talent, but even more so, time to hone it.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Li Yuan resumed practicing with the spear, the spear light flickering, constantly moving and changing unpredictably within the Martial Arts Room.


    "My body," he said.


    "Stepping into the Fourth Level High Rank, my mind further penetrates my flesh and blood, my senses even sharper," Li Yuan practiced with his spear while sensing his body.


    Gradually, Li Yuan noticed that within his sinews and muscles, there flowed strands of extremely subtle Vigor.


    These strands of Vigor were like silk, each one very weak, but they spread across every corner of his body, originating from the blood, periosteum, and muscle fibers... When these tens of thousands of strands of Vigor converged, they contained an extremely terrifying force.


    "Is this what Subtle Strength is?" A surprise flashed in Li Yuan''s heart: "I never noticed it before!"


    Previously, Li Yuan knew that after achieving subtlety in the mind, the exploitation of physical power would reach an inconceivable level.


    But how strong was it, exactly? He did not know.


    Today, after stepping into the Fourth Level High Rank, a wholly dedicated cultivation session allowed him to finally sense it. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing with his own eyes, feeling with his own mind, was completely different from others'' descriptions.


    It''s like having one ton of Fist Strength; hearing others describe how powerful it is, reading textual descriptions, and actually possessing one ton of Fist Strength are worlds apart.


    "If I can control these tens of thousands of subtle Vigor strands, the power I could unleash would be at least several times stronger," Li Yuan inwardly exclaimed: "Is this the ultimate strength of the human body?"


    The human body is a treasure trove.


    It contains great secrets.


    Two individuals with the same Life Level, the one with the superior skills can unleash a power and speed that are vastly different.


    "Do skills, from Fourth Level High Rank to Fourth Level Perfection Subtly, mean gradually gaining control over these strands of subtle Vigor?" Li Yuan understood the direction of the next stage.


    From the Third Stage to the initial stage of the Fourth Level, it means controlling the major sinew, bone, and muscle power of the body, fully unleashing it with the waist, abdomen, and spine as the core without wasting a strand of Vigor, achieving ''Unity of Mind and Body.''


    From the initial stage of the Fourth Level to High Rank, it means digging deeper into the body''s strength, becoming more refined.


    The ultimate Fourth Level Perfection is about completely controlling every subtle strand of Vigor in the body.


    That is why it is called ''Subtlety of Spirit.''


    "Hoo!"


    Fully clear about the direction of the next stage of cultivation, Li Yuan cultivated with even more enthusiasm.


    Having a clear goal makes the journey more solid.


    "With such diligent cultivation and spear practice, the stimulation to my body is also immense; in terms of efficiency, it''s almost catching up to one third of the ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique,''" Li Yuan gradually realized this: "In the future, the ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique'' will probably become less and less effective for me; once my spirit is subtle, it will be useless."


    As his realm grew higher, Li Yuan also saw more clearly the purpose of Basic Cultivation Methods.


    They''re the high-level summaries compiled by the predecessors on the Martial Path, a set of methods that allow ordinary people to explore their body''s potential to the greatest extent.


    The many postures during cultivation are essentially, from the perspective of ''subtle Vigor'' or even a higher realm, designed to stimulate every part of the body as much as possible.


    Different Cultivation Methods are suitable for people with different physiques.


    "And the High Rank Cultivation Methods are ways to stimulate the body to absorb Origin Power faster," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    In his mind, the ''Stellar Trajectory Diagram'' that resembled silk threads, which he vaguely remembered from the second time he absorbed Origin Power into his body within the ''Dark Space,'' spontaneously emerged.


    Li Yuan always felt that it would be very important.


    "Perhaps, when my strength is greater, I will understand," Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "My spiritual power level 20, the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening Level has only been raised to 25%."


    "It seems that to increase the Spiritual Awakening Level to 30%, or even 50%, I must reach a higher level of spiritual power, level 25? Level 30 spiritual power?" Li Yuan could only guess for the time being.


    For now.


    What''s more important is to strive to raise his Physical Quality to level 14.


    "Now that my technique has further improved, my body evolves faster, perhaps, I could try consuming more ''High Origin Spirit Spring,''" the thought suddenly flickered through Li Yuan''s mind.


    The more consumed, as long as one can digest and train sufficiently, the faster the body''s evolution will naturally be.


    ...


    After practicing with the spear until eight in the morning, Li Yuan had breakfast and then took a bath and changed clothes.


    As for clothes, the Martial Arts Room cleaning, and villa maintenance, etc., the school logistics department would arrange for people to take care of everything thoroughly.


    Taking a flying vehicle, he arrived outside the Xuanwu Building.


    Yesterday was drizzle and mists; today, it had already turned into a sunny day, quite hot in the summer.


    The plaza outside the Xuanwu Building was already crowded with at least a thousand students gathered here.


    Li Yuan got off the vehicle from afar and walked toward the direction where the freshmen of the Sixth Institute were gathering.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan has arrived." Several freshmen from different institutes recognized Li Yuan along the way; many even greeted him actively.


    Li Yuan nodded in response as he passed.

 Chapter 146: 125: Dean Hai Arrives (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

    After the entrance competition and the combat assessment¡­ Li Yuan''s name and appearance were known to every freshman in their first year, no one was unaware of who he was.


    Even if some people didn''t like Li Yuan, they still had to admit that he was indeed strong.


    When one is powerful enough, at least on the surface, everyone must show respect.


    "The eldest apprentice-brother has arrived."


    "Eldest apprentice-brother." As soon as he arrived at the gathering place for the Sixth Institute''s freshmen, the area instantly became lively.


    In the combat assessment, Li Yuan''s final heroic effort had already established his unshakable prestige among the freshmen of the Sixth Institute.


    "Brother Yuan." Gu Qianghan walked up.


    "Everyone, line up in order." An Nong was calling out to the students before he walked up and said, "Eldest apprentice-brother."


    The freshmen of the Sixth Institute.


    Had already started getting used to Gu Qianghan and An Nong organizing some activities.


    "For the memorial service, let''s all be a bit quieter," Li Yuan said, looking at the queue of Sixth Institute freshmen, "Even though these teachers don''t teach us, we should still show some respect."


    "Understood, I''ll take care of it." An Nong nodded and immediately went to organize the students.


    Today, Kunlun Martial University would hold a grand memorial service for ''eleven teachers'' who had passed away.


    Not far away, the Xuanwu Building was already filled with various wreaths and a huge black and white banner, somber and dignified.


    Because of this.


    Students from all institutes had arrived on time at the location, ready to enter the memorial service together.


    Li Yuan stood at the very front of the Sixth Institute''s freshmen.


    "There are quite a number of reporters, and many teachers; President Li is also over there," Gu Qianghan pointed towards the distance.


    "Hmm." Li Yuan also looked over.


    As Prime Warriors, they were very important military forces, and those who died in battle were considered ''martyrs''.


    Not to mention the loss of so many powerful Prime Warriors at once; it was definitely a ''major casualty''.


    Today, it''s likely that every channel in Longxi Province will cover it extensively, and the Xia Country''s Central Television will probably also dedicate some time to report on it.


    "Sigh."


    "I don''t even know what kind of rescue operation it was; there was no news at all," Gu Qianghan sighed lightly, "Although they weren''t our teachers, the death of so many teachers truly feels distressing."


    "Logically, school teachers are all high-level Prime Warriors¡­ what kind of powerful enemies did they encounter? Could it be Flying Heaven Warriors?" Gu Qianghan said.


    Li Yuan silently nodded, not saying a word.


    One of the teachers who died in battle had once taught him.


    ...


    The memorial service proceeded in an orderly fashion. Because of the vast number of people, first the second-year students entered the memorial venue, followed by the first-year students.


    Until ten o''clock in the morning.


    Li Yuan, standing at the front of the queue of Sixth Institute freshmen, then led more than two hundred students from the institute into the venue.


    There were only photographs and wreaths.


    But the atmosphere was still extremely somber.


    "Mourn deeply..." looking at some of the wreaths labeled ''Teacher Fan Jin,'' Li Yuan''s heart grew even heavier.


    On both sides of the venue, many screens continuously displayed the meritorious deeds of the teachers who had died in battle.


    Each high-level Prime Warrior.


    In their youth, most of them had been martial path prodigies who caught the public eye.


    Some with outstanding achievements, others in the prime of their youth.


    Li Yuan watched every teacher''s screen one by one, apart from Teacher Fan Jin.


    The one who left the deepest impression on him was a 27-year-old teacher.


    27 years old, a level 27 Prime Warrior.


    From the photos and videos, he still looked young, with unlimited potential. There was even hope for him to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future.


    But now, he had died in battle.


    Dead, and so talk of genius and strength was pointless.


    Time passed.


    Behind Li Yuan, many first-year freshmen who initially didn''t pay much attention seemed to gradually be affected by the ambiance of the entire venue, becoming increasingly quiet.


    The entire memorial service had no speeches from important figures.


    Only music, words, wreaths, and the martyrs'' portraits... Such a memorial service was clearly touching for every student.


    It was akin to a baptism of the soul.


    As the procession finally exited the memorial venue, Li Yuan subconsciously glanced at the two lines of text hanging near the entrance.


    "Green hills bury loyal bones, rivers and mountains remember the heroes."


    "To not betray the grand ambitions of youth, become a heroic spirit to guard the starry frontiers."


    ...


    When Li Yuan led the freshmen of the Sixth Institute out of the memorial service,


    he didn''t notice that on the fourth floor of the venue, two figures had been silently watching him.


    "Dean Hai, what do you think?" Dean Xu asked respectfully.


    "His spiritual power is quite good, but I am not sure about his will." a gentle voice sounded, "During the event, no one supervised or observed him, but he was always very serious. Together with his past record and having achieved the title of ''Youth Hero'',"


    "I also took the time to watch his program yesterday."


    "All in all, his talent is not bad, and his moral character should also be decent," the gentle voice spoke indifferently, "The college did a competent job in attracting such a student."


    "This afternoon, have him come to see me."


    "Yes." Dean Xu felt a surge of joy inside, knowing she had passed the first hurdle.


    For Xia Country, or even for human civilization,


    having high talent does not necessarily guarantee full cultivation; character is extremely important... For some people, the stronger their power, the greater the harm to the entire civilization.


    However, the observation and judgment of character are never recorded openly.


    ...


    After the memorial service ended, Li Yuan returned to his villa to continue his training for the day.


    With each repetition of spear practice, the discomfort and oppression in his heart gradually subsided.


    Two o''clock in the afternoon.


    "Teacher." Li Yuan looked at Li Yang, who had suddenly arrived at his villa.


    "Get on my flyer, Dean Hai is waiting for you at the Heilong Building," Li Yang said with a slight smile, "You did well this morning, Dean Hai is very pleased with you."


    "This morning''s performance?" Li Yuan was immediately confused.


    What did he do this morning?


    ... On the flyer.


    "Reaching the Bright Moon Stage and not even telling me?" Li Yang glanced at Li Yuan, "I only found out after receiving a message from the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "Heh, I haven''t had the chance," Li Yuan chuckled, "I was afraid if I told you directly, Teacher, you might think I was showing off."


    "If you have strength and talent, show it off all you want, what''s there to fear?" Li Yang shook his head with a chuckle, "For things like this, tell me immediately next time."


    "Yes."


    Soon, the flyer reached the Heilong Building, and the two hurried to the twelfth floor.


    When they arrived outside an office, the door was open, and Dean Xu stood at the doorway.


    "Dean Xu." Li Yuan initiated the conversation.


    "Go in, Dean Hai is right here." Dean Xu directed, "Don''t be rude, just have a normal conversation."


    Li Yuan nodded, still feeling a bit nervous inside.


    A normal conversation? That was with a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Upon entering, this was a not-so-large Martial Arts Room, just over a hundred square meters.


    The decor was very simple; it lacked extra furniture, there wasn''t even a rack for weapons.


    In the center of the Martial Arts Room, two meditation cushions were placed.


    A lean young man, who appeared to be in his early twenties and was wearing a blue Martial Path uniform, was sitting cross-legged on one of the cushions, looking very relaxed.


    "You''re here." The young man smiled faintly, his gaze making Li Yuan''s spirit ripple slightly, and he was thoroughly intimidated.


    It wasn''t simple oppression, but a rather mysterious sensation.


    In that moment, Li Yuan felt as though he had no control over his own life and death.


    For a full three seconds, Li Yuan''s strong will and spirit freed themselves from this sensation.


    "Dean Hai." Li Yuan suppressed the shock inside and bowed slightly as a greeting.


    "Not bad." S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Under level 13 and yet able to break free from the cocoon of my spirit''s influence," the young man in blue said with a smile, "President Li praised you as our college''s first-ever ''Spiritual Genius'', and she wasn''t wrong."


    "First Spiritual Genius?" Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    "Take a seat, let''s talk slowly," the young man in blue gestured towards the cushion in front of him.


    Li Yuan stepped forward, imitating the other''s posture, and obediently sat down cross-legged.


    "Don''t be nervous, it''s just an ordinary conversation," the young man in blue said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself first, I''m ''Hai Yi'', the dean of the Sixth Institute... but I don''t really manage affairs, this is my first time back at the college this year."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    What an unconventional self-introduction from Dean Hai.


    "Seeing you because you are outstanding," Dean Hai said with a smile, "Your not yet awakened Martial Spirit is not a bad thing."


    "If I am not mistaken, there is likely a higher Spiritual Nature hidden within you."

 Chapter 147: 126: Spiritual Nature? Bloodline? Hundred Marrow Spiritual Withering

    "Higher Spiritual Nature?" Li Yuan''s face betrayed his confusion, "President, how is this different from a normal Spiritual Awakening?"


    In reality, Li Yuan''s heart was already a tumultuous sea of shock.


    Because initially, the Divine Palace panel had reminded him that he was harboring an unawakened ''Higher Spiritual Nature''.


    However, after he had killed members of the Fish Spirit Clan, the Divine Palace panel''s prompt disappeared and was replaced by a ''Spiritual Awakening Level''.


    Could Dean Hai see right through him?


    For a moment, Li Yuan felt uneasy and anxious, wondering if the other party could see through his Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Were Flying Heaven Warriors that formidable?


    "Having cultivated for so long, you should be clear about the essence of high-rank Cultivation Methods," Dean Hai said with a smile.


    From his appearance, Dean Hai seemed to be only about eighteen or nineteen years old, very young, and even handsomer than Li Yuan.


    But his eyes were much deeper than Li Yuan''s.


    "The compatibility with Origin Power," Li Yuan said, which he had known for some time.


    "Right."


    "The higher the compatibility with Origin Power, the faster you absorb it, and the quicker you grow," Dean Hai said. "Similarly, the more spiritual power and stronger the skills you possess, the more potential you can unlock from your body, and the more Origin Power you can absorb."


    Li Yuan slightly nodded.


    It was like a person naturally having a large frame and growing quickly, naturally eating more than the average person.


    If this person continued exercising to build muscle, increasing their energy consumption, they would eat even more.


    "All things have a spirit."


    "Origin Power is the most essential and pure force of the universe, which is why every life form can be close to it, though the degree of closeness varies," Dean Hai explained. "Even though you don''t resonate with any high-rank Cultivation Techniques, your ability to absorb Origin Power is extremely strong, isn''t it?"


    Li Yuan remained silent, listening.


    "President Li mentioned you possessed Heavenly Materials Treasures, which is why your physical quality surged overnight during the combat assessment," Dean Hai said with a half-smile. "But I''ve contacted Lord Yang of the Province, and the Starfire Martial Hall didn''t give you any Heavenly Materials Treasures."


    Li Yuan''s heart lurched.


    What was this, cheating?


    "Just now, when I sensed your entire body, I found traces of absorbing Origin Power but no signs of using other treasures," Dean Hai remarked with a hint of admiration. "It''s enough to prove that your compatibility with Origin Power is unimaginably high."


    "Add your comprehension and spiritual power... it''s almost certain that you have ''Higher Spiritual Nature'' within you."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Hey! Big shot, I didn''t even open my mouth, and you''ve finished the story? S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Your discernment is enlightening," Li Yuan replied vaguely.


    Since the big shot had already reasoned it out, he naturally took advantage of it without any objections.


    "The so-called ''Higher Spiritual Nature'' signifies an extremely high compatibility with a certain type of Origin Power, which will make your Martial Path naturally much smoother than normal people," Dean Hai continued. "It will even influence the growth of your skills."


    "Once your skills enter the Fifth Stage, or even in the future when they reach the Sixth Stage..."


    "Higher Spiritual Nature will provide you with great assistance," Dean Hai said.


    Li Yuan listened with astonishment; was it that powerful?


    "Higher Spiritual Nature might sound mysterious, but if I use another word, you''ll understand a lot more¡ªbloodline," Dean Hai stated with a smile. "Some creatures are naturally very strong."


    "Take the black dragon outside our building; it''s a Second Order life form at birth, and with just a little effort, it becomes a Third Order being... it''s all because its bloodline is extremely potent," Dean Hai said with a chuckle. "In alien civilizations at the edges of some Star Realms, there are numerous creatures that are Third Order lives from birth."


    "The strongest ones are even beyond the Flying Heaven Level upon reaching adulthood," Dean Hai sighed with emotion. "What is the endpoint of our human cultivators'' struggles is just the starting point for others."


    Li Yuan listened in shock.


    Born at the Flying Heaven Level? Or even surpassing it just like that?


    That''s too exaggerated! How could one possibly fight against that?


    "Of course, it''s exceedingly rare for alien races to be born at the Flying Heaven Level or higher, and they have no relation to us," Dean Hai said with a smile. "They also can''t cross over to us."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Different strengths, different perspectives. Talking with Dean Hai greatly broadened Li Yuan''s horizon.


    "President, are you suggesting that there''s an extremely powerful bloodline hidden within me?" Li Yuan pondered aloud.


    "Yes," Dean Hai nodded. "Because of this bloodline (Higher Spiritual Nature), as you grow, your spiritual power becomes increasingly strong. You have now reached the level of a Prime Warrior, and you can easily absorb a large amount of Origin Power without high-rank Cultivation Techniques, and your physical quality is also rapidly improving."


    Li Yuan appeared contemplative, but his mind was busy with thoughts.


    This analysis...


    ''Higher Spiritual Nature'' as mentioned by Dean Hai, might not be the same as the ''Higher Spiritual Nature'' on the Divine Palace panel.


    After all, his spiritual power and physical quality were achieved through painstaking cultivation.


    It''s related to his body''s innate talent, but not significantly.


    "President, are you implying there are quite a few people like me within our human civilization?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "Not many, but not few," Dean Hai replied. "Strictly speaking, there are some secrets that you are not yet qualified to know."


    "But considering that you are one of them, there''s no harm in telling you. Just remember not to disclose it," Dean Hai said indifferently. "Mainly, a few large families will continuously produce individuals with Higher Spiritual Natures."


    "Or rather, Bloodline Awakeners."


    "Large families? Bloodline Awakeners?" Li Yuan was astonished. "Can Higher Spiritual Nature be inherited?"


    He had indeed never heard of such a thing before.


    "Yes."


    "Just as genes can be inherited, so can the talent for spirituality."


    "For instance, the well-known ''Flame Family,'' which has produced many Bloodline Awakeners and is powerful with a history of accumulations, eventually created a unique Cultivation Technique called the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture,'' which is much more efficient than high-rank Cultivation Methods," Dean Hai explained casually. "To date, the family has produced several dozen Flying Heaven Warriors."


    "Several dozen?" Li Yuan was flabbergasted. That was just too exaggerated.


    "Why not keep breeding these families? Wouldn''t that mean our human civilization would see a surge in the number of Flying Heaven Warriors?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    This kind of bloodline inheritance had an overwhelming advantage.


    "It''s not that easy,"


    "First, most descendants are normal people, and only a very few can awaken, although the probability is much higher than that of ordinary people," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Second, they created special cultivation techniques suitable for this kind of high-level spiritual nature, which is why the success rate seems higher."


    "Third, the more powerful the being, the harder it is to reproduce."


    "Even for some extremely powerful beings, like those who surpass the Flying Heaven Level, do you think ordinary people can become their partners? A single charge..." Dean Hai suddenly changed his sentence. "It''s like elephants and ants, can they produce offspring?"


    Li Yuan felt like laughing but understood what Dean Hai meant.


    From the First Rank to the Second Rank, and from the Second Rank to the Third Rank, although still human, the essence of their life level undergoes a fundamental leap.


    "Of course."


    "High-level spiritual nature cannot be detected, at least I can''t do it; one can only guess from external signs that you are one as well," Dean Hai said. "The biggest difficulty you face right now is the cultivation technique."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    "Without a cultivation technique, even though you have an extremely high affinity with Origin Power, and by the time you reach level 20, your body will naturally absorb a large amount of external Origin Power, which is more than ten times that of ordinary Prime Warriors, you would need at least twenty years to become a level 29 Prime Warrior," Dean Hai said.


    A thought struck Li Yuan.


    So, does that mean ordinary Prime Warriors, without a cultivation technique, could also reach level 29 by passively absorbing for two hundred years?


    Of course, first, their techniques would have to break through.


    "What is the essence of a cultivation technique?"


    "To sense the life star within the body, forming a Zhou Tian cycle, allowing the Origin Power to flow endlessly," Dean Hai spoke slowly. "Our human body is like the vast starry sky, containing 480 million tiny stars."


    "480 million body stars?" Li Yuan was astounded.


    Is the human body like a miniature universe?


    Such a precise number?


    "This is an imaginary number; no one knows the exact number of body stars," Dean Hai said with a smile. "It''s like counting the stars in the universe''s starry sky; can you count them all?"


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    "The countless stars within the human body are imperceptible, the majority of which are dormant, dead stars where Origin Power cannot reside."


    "Only a very few awaken, known as ''Life Stars,'' much like the vast cosmos where life-sustaining stars are a minority, with the majority being unsuitable for life," Dean Hai continued.


    "But these few Life Stars are the key to life evolution; they are the nodes through which Origin Power circulates within the body."


    "Just as a few life-sustaining planets are what make this vast universe uniquely brilliant."


    A series of statements.


    It gave Li Yuan a sense of sudden enlightenment.


    Directly pointing to the essence of life evolution.


    "With countless stars in the human body, even if Life Stars make up only one part in a million, the total number is still enormous," Dean Hai said. "High-ranking cultivation techniques are about our minds gradually sensing the Life Stars located throughout the human body, imprinting spiritual marks on them, and eventually linking hundreds or thousands of Life Stars together."


    "Forming a great cycle, with Origin Power circulating through these Life Stars, nourishing every part of the body, making these Life Stars stronger and stronger."


    Li Yuan was all ears.


    The essence of high-ranking cultivation techniques was something he had not known in the past.


    "Within the same species, with a genetic similarity above 99.9%, Life Stars are the same," Dean Hai said. "The seven high-level cultivation methods are derived from the myriad body stars, finding paths based on the seven more fixed, common routes of Life Stars in our human bodies."


    "Allowing a large number of humans to sense Life Stars in a relatively safe manner, one after another."


    "Law creation,"


    "relies on oneself, continuously sensing the stars within the body to find a circulating path of life," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan. "This is very dangerous."


    "It''s like sending a spacecraft to reach an unfamiliar planet; what if it''s a dead star?"


    "Death," Li Yuan hesitated before responding.


    "Right."


    "With countless stars within the body, it''s hard to know if it''s a dead star before the mind directs the Origin Power there," Dean Hai sighed lightly. "One failure would cause the body to be injured once."


    "Two failures, three failures... until eventually the body completely collapses."


    "However,"


    "as a higher spiritual being, the number of ''Life Stars'' awakened in your body is certainly far more than that of ordinary people," Dean Hai said. "Combined with your strong spiritual power and impressive skills, your spiritual sense will be clearer, allowing you to avoid many small mistakes."


    "Moreover, this is not a few hundred years ago."


    "Nowadays, you can refer to the seven high-level cultivation methods, and find the common traits of the Life Star trajectories in our human bodies... Overall, I judge that your chances of successful law creation should be over 80%," Dean Hai made his assessment.


    "80%?"


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but say, "I remember President Li said before that I had a 40 to 50% chance of success."


    "Foolish!"


    "When you were signed, were your spiritual power and techniques as strong as they are now?" Dean Hai spoke indifferently. "Predictions can only be based on the current stage."


    "If your techniques don''t improve quickly enough afterward, then it''s normal for your chances of success to drop to 50% or even lower."


    "Likewise, if your techniques quickly reach the Sixth Stage, then your success rate would approach nearly 100%."


    Li Yuan had nothing to say.


    Techniques at the Sixth Stage? He was still far from even reaching perfect Fourth Level.


    ...


    "Law creation comes after you become a Prime Warrior,"


    "What''s most important for you right now is to improve your physical quality and techniques," Dean Hai spoke calmly.


    "As for techniques, you''ve received enough training; it''s all about your comprehension."


    "But physical quality,"


    "The earlier you become a Prime Warrior, the stronger your vitality, the more law creation failures you can withstand, and the greater your chances are," Dean Hai said.


    "I have prepared a Heavenly Materials Treasure for you, ''Hundred Marrow Spirit Dry.''" Dean Hai spoke indifferently: "There are 20 units in total, and each unit should let you withstand 10 sessions of uninterrupted absorption of the High Origin Spirit Spring."


    "Within two years, it should more than double your cultivation speed."


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up; the effects seemed to be incredibly potent.


    His growth rate was already fast, but to increase it by more than double?


    "However, the pain from using it will also be several times that of the Spirit Marrow Cleansing,"

 Chapter 148: 127: Painful to Suicide (30,000 monthly tickets plus update)

    "Even more agonizing than the Marrow Cleansing?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. That intense?


    Involuntarily.


    Some parts of Li Yuan''s body were already aching faintly, and just the Marrow Cleansing had been terrifying enough.


    "Marrow Cleansing is an external application, but this is taken internally. Although both are a form of cleansing, there will be slight differences," Dean Hai said indifferently. "I have prepared everything. Whether you use it or not is up to you."


    "Think it over and let me know," Dean Hai said calmly.


    He pondered for just three seconds.


    "Dean, I am willing," Li Yuan gritted his teeth. It was just several times more painful, right?


    He had already endured the Marrow Cleansing five times a month.


    What was there to fear?


    To enhance his strength faster, what gain comes without pain?


    "Won''t you consider it more carefully?"


    Dean Hai smiled, "I know you have strong willpower, worthy of a Prime Warrior, but this kind of pain¡­ is not that easy to withstand."


    "I''ve made my decision; I''ll do it," Li Yuan asserted through gritted teeth.


    "Fine, the items will be delivered to President Li. You will administer it under his guidance each time," Dean Hai said indifferently. "Now, you can go."


    "When your Physical Quality reaches Level 15, should you plan to seek trial by ordeal in the Star Realm, come to see me again."


    "Yes," Li Yuan felt a surge of emotion.


    To meet with Dean Hai before venturing into life-and-death trials?


    ...


    After Li Yuan left and returned to his residence, Li Yang and Dean Xu entered the Martial Arts Room.


    "Dean Hai," Li Yang and Dean Xu both greeted respectfully.


    "I have prepared a total of twenty units of Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccant for Li Yuan, enough for twenty months of cultivation," Dean Hai spoke indifferently. "Li Yang, it''s in your hands. Supervise each session to prevent accidents."


    "Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccant?" Li Yang and Dean Xu were both astonished.


    They doubted their own hearing.


    This was for Li Yuan''s use?


    "Dean, is it really Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccant?" Li Yang couldn''t help but ask. "Can Li Yuan endure it?"


    "Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccant, when paired with High Origin Spirit Spring, has an incredibly astonishing effect," Dean Hai explained indifferently. "Even a treasure like the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal can''t match its short-term effects."


    "The only downside is that it''s somewhat painful."


    "But I just tested it, and the kid does have impressive willpower; consider it a test of his resolve," Dean Hai said breezily.


    "What, you were the ones who asked me to train him, and now you have reservations?" Dean Hai''s expression was teasing.


    Li Yang and Dean Xu felt a shiver in their hearts, and they quickly shook their heads.


    To ordinary students, they were venerable vice deans with significant authority and mighty strength.


    But in front of Dean Hai, they were like students.


    "Additionally, upgrade Li Yuan''s contract level to SS for now," Dean Hai continued indifferently. "Increase his free resource quota from 2 million to 4 million Blue Star Coins a month."


    "If there is still a shortfall in cultivation resources, let him figure it out on his own."


    "Yes," Li Yang nodded.


    "Now, leave," Dean Hai instructed.


    "Let me know before Li Yuan, at Level 15, goes to the Star Realm for life-and-death trials," Dean Hai closed his eyes.


    Li Yang''s eyes shone with understanding, realizing immediately.


    Dean Hai evidently intended to give Li Yuan some life-saving items at that time.


    ...


    Li Yang and Dean Xu left the office and descended the stairs.


    "Is it necessary to be so harsh with the Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccant?"


    Dean Xu shook his head gently, "I''ve only seen it once, and that Prime Warrior almost resorted to suicide."


    "I heard before that to torture some captured members of the Alien Race, Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccant was used, driving them to seek death and spill any intelligence," Dean Xu said with a sigh. "Dean Hai is still as ruthless as before, perhaps too much."


    "Without being ruthless, how can one establish oneself?" S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I was mentally prepared when I recommended Li Yuan to him," President Li said with a smile. "Sister, haven''t you heard the rumors about Dean Hai chasing down that black dragon?"


    "What rumors?" Dean Xu asked, puzzled.


    "I heard,"


    "Back then, it was Dean Hai on the South Sea island, a carefully built villa was destroyed by a tsunami caused by the black dragon. It wasn''t an assignment for Dean Hai originally; he applied for it himself... He chased it for days and nights, made his way into the deep sea, and slaughtered that black dragon, skinning and deboning it," President Li finished gossiping in one breath.


    "That ruthless?" Dean Xu was somewhat shocked, as she had only been at the university for a few years.


    She hadn''t interacted much with Dean Hai.


    She had not heard about it before.


    "Of course, I''ve been following Dean Hai for nearly twenty years now, what don''t I know?" Li Yang said with emotion. "I will keep a close eye on Li Yuan."


    "If it becomes too much for him, we''ll pause it," Li Yang added.


    "Sure," Dean Xu nodded.


    Soon after.


    Having seen off Dean Xu, Li Yang was about to look for Li Yuan.


    "Li Yang, you tell a good story," a detached voice suddenly echoed in Li Yang''s mind. "Come here a moment, and repeat it to me."


    "Dean Hai," Li Yang was instantly startled.


    ...


    In the following days, Li Yuan continued his orderly cultivation.


    Kunlun Martial University gradually returned to calm.


    On August 8th, at ten in the morning.


    Inside Li Yuan''s villa, in the underground Martial Arts Room, all the lights were turned on.


    Li Yang and Li Yuan stood there.


    In Li Yang''s hand, there was a small black bottle, its body completely black, revealing nothing of its contents from the outside.


    "So much time has passed."


    "The effects of your Marrow Cleansing medicine should be almost gone by now." Li Yang said seriously, "Today, let''s have you try the Hundred Marrows Spiritual Elixir."


    "Teacher, why do it in the underground Martial Arts Room?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking, "And have me move all my belongings out?"


    "You''ll understand in a bit," Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    "I''ll ask you one last time, are you sure you want to use it?" Li Yang asked.


    "Teacher, let''s give it a try," Li Yuan laughed, "If I can''t endure it, I''ll naturally give up later."


    "Alright."


    Li Yang stopped persuading and handed the black bottle to Li Yuan, "There are ten tiny pills in a unit."


    "You can start by taking one to try," Li Yang suggested.


    "If you can withstand it, consume the remaining nine within ten minutes," Li Yang instructed.


    Li Yuan accepted it and opened the bottle, pouring it into his hand.


    Black, resembling calcium tablets, they emitted a strange scent.


    "Hundred Marrows Spiritual Elixir? I thought it was liquid," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Over these days, Li Yuan had already prepared himself mentally and didn''t hesitate. He took one and put it directly into his mouth.


    No particular sensation.


    He drank some water handed to him by Li Yang, and finally swallowed it down.


    For the first three seconds, Li Yuan felt nothing unusual.


    Gradually.


    As a Fourth Level high-rank expert, Li Yuan introspected his own body and could feel streams of strange power rapidly spreading from his chest and abdomen to every part of his body.


    A tingling sensation.


    It was somewhat itchy!


    It was somewhat painful!


    "Is this it?" Li Yuan''s willpower was remarkably strong, and he easily withstood it, not giving it another thought and directly swallowing the remaining nine black pills.


    Li Yang opened his mouth slightly but didn''t dissuade him.


    Swiftly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan gradually noticed something was amiss. The streams of strange power seemed endless, growing stronger and penetrating every part of his body.


    "Such agony," Li Yuan clenched his fists tight, his whole body trembling slightly.


    As if fire ants were gnawing at the flesh over his wounds.


    As if blades were repeatedly scraping across his bones.


    And then... a subtle sadness... much more intense than the pain of Marrow Cleansing.


    Moreover.


    As time passed, the pain Li Yuan endured escalated continuously.


    His complexion completely changed.


    "Ah!" Li Yuan finally began to lose his ability to cope, no longer caring about Li Yang''s presence, he suddenly curled up on the ground.


    Pain!!


    Deep into the marrow pain!! Much more severe than the agony of five Marrow Cleansing sessions.


    Li Yuan, as if he could hear the sound of marrow being extracted, his muscles twitching.


    His entire body turned red as if on fire, sweat seeping out like plasma.


    "Ahh!" Li Yuan''s face was utterly contorted, he longed to endure.


    But it was simply too painful.


    The power contained in the Hundred Marrows Spiritual Elixir had completely erupted!!


    It was thoroughly purging ''impurities'' from the body, all hindrances to the absorption of Origin Power being cleansed.


    This suffering seemed to seep into Li Yuan''s soul.


    Pain!


    "It hurts!" Li Yuan lay on the ground, wailing, his demeanour utterly collapsed, rolling madly about with veins on his neck fully exposed.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan swung his arm, striking towards his own head.


    Such unbearable agony! In that instant, Li Yuan wished only for death.


    In his consciousness, there was only pain.


    At this moment, he just wanted to end this suffering completely.


    Just then.


    "Whoosh!" A pair of hands reached out like lightning, restraining Li Yuan''s hands.


    Preventing his action.


    "Aaaah!" Li Yuan struggled fiercely, but to what avail against Li Yang''s strength? He effortlessly suppressed Li Yuan.


    Yet.


    Seeing Li Yuan''s state, Li Yang''s heart also ached.


    Even with Li Yuan''s formidable will, he was tormented to the point of wanting to take his own life.


    One could imagine just how excruciating the pain from the Hundred Marrows Spiritual Elixir was.


    ...


    For a full half-hour.


    The effects of the Hundred Marrows Spiritual Elixir gradually faded, and Li Yuan''s cries slowly subsided, with a thin layer of impurities emerging on the surface of his body.


    But Li Yuan''s spirit seemed nearly broken, as he lost consciousness completely.


    Unclear whether he had fainted or fallen asleep.


    "No wonder almost no one uses this stuff for cultivation," Li Yang finally released Li Yuan''s hands and muttered to himself, "Dean Hai is really ruthless, having me supervise. Could it be that he envisioned Li Yuan might contemplate suicide?"

 Chapter 149: 128: Astonishing Transformation (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    ```


    He had slept continuously until around two in the afternoon, when Li Yuan''s consciousness gradually started to wake.


    Eyelashes fluttering, his eyes opened slightly.


    "Huff!" Li Yuan''s consciousness quickly became clear, "Did I just endure the unbearable pain of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Withering and eventually lost consciousness?"


    The recent experience surged into his mind.


    That terrifying pain that seemed to penetrate deep into the marrow and soul was so intense that merely recalling it made Li Yuan''s frown unconsciously.


    It was truly too horrifying.


    The pain of the five-time Marrow Cleansing overlaid on one another was child''s play compared to it.


    At the moment, the pain had completely passed, but subconsciously, Li Yuan was unwilling to remember it.


    "Thump~" Li Yuan stretched out his hand, trying to get up, only to feel his whole body as if being pricked by needles, aching all over.


    Nevertheless, this level of pain merely made him frown as he sat up without being affected.


    Only then did Li Yuan notice a thin layer of gray-black dirt covering the surface of his skin.


    A gentle wipe with his hand, and it was rubbed away like a snake shedding its skin, revealing the dirt-free, jade-like smooth skin of Li Yuan beneath.


    Brimming with vitality.


    "Awake?" A cheery voice sounded from not too far away, as Li Yang walked over.


    "Teacher, you saw my disgrace," Li Yuan said as he slowly stood up.


    He had already recalled the scene where he had nearly succumbed to thoughts of suicide because he couldn''t bear the pain.


    This showed that his willpower was still not strong enough.


    "What''s there to laugh about? You think it''s shameful to feel pain so intense you want to kill yourself?" Li Yang chuckled, "You did quite well. At seventeen, to be able to endure ten minutes is frightening enough. I doubt there''s a second one like you in the entire school."


    "Though the Hundred Marrow Spirit Withering is a Heavenly Material Treasure and a marvelous Marrow Cleansing rarity, highly valuable... in reality, it''s more often used as a means of torture." Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yang laughed, "Aimed at high-value captives, a single pill can cause unbearable pain to an ordinary Prime Warrior, driving them to desire death."


    "After one pill, they would usually spill everything."


    "And you?"


    "You took a whole ten pills! That''s an entire unit''s worth. In terms of willpower, the majority of high-rank Prime Warriors wouldn''t be stronger than you," Li Yang remarked with a sigh.


    There were words Li Yang didn''t say; even if it were him, he couldn''t confidently claim he would perform better than Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan listened silently, his face showing no joy.


    He was more reflective, understanding that his inability to withstand the pain signaled his weakness, rather than it being strictly due to the overwhelming agony.


    If he was weak, he needed more training.


    "Don''t be too hard on yourself," Li Yang said as he looked at Li Yuan, unable to refrain, "Willpower and spiritual power complement each other; as your spiritual power grows stronger..."


    "For example, if you possessed a 29th-level spiritual power, with your willpower, you should be able to endure this kind of pain."


    "If you had spiritual power comparable to a Flying Heaven Warrior, you could easily suppress such pain."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Spiritual power and willpower are like physical quality and martial arts skills.


    Strong willpower can bring out the fullest extent of one''s spiritual power.


    But if spiritual power is too weak, even the strongest willpower cannot compensate for it.


    "Moreover, no one is born with strong willpower," Li Yang shook his head, "Just like a person''s comprehension. While there are innate factors, the numerous experiences and enlightenments one encounters can reshape one''s comprehension, even leading to transformation¡ªthat''s where the saying ''a late bloomer'' comes from."


    "The same goes for willpower."


    "Most people, after going through various trials, will grow increasingly strong in will... while a few, after experiencing certain life upheavals and major setbacks, might find their will weakened..." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan, "You''re so young, yet your will is so strong."


    "In the future, it will undoubtedly grow stronger, you must believe in yourself," Li Yang encouraged.


    He could see that Li Yuan had always been confident about his willpower.


    And he didn''t want the other to start doubting himself because of this.


    "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher," Li Yuan said respectfully.


    "Do we still need the Hundred Marrow Spirit Withering pills?" Li Yang asked tentatively, "Or how about using them when your spiritual power is stronger?"


    "No."


    "Teacher," Li Yuan smiled faintly, a determined look in his eyes, "I want to rise up from where I fell. I aim to try again in one month''s time."


    Scared?


    To say that Li Yuan wasn''t scared at all would naturally be untrue.


    Who would willingly subject themselves to such hellish torment?


    But Li Yuan understood better.


    To temper one''s will, the most important thing is to face one''s weaknesses, pain, and mental shadows head-on.


    If he gave up trying because of the pain from the Hundred Marrow Spirit Withering,


    then as time passed, that issue could become a psychological weak spot and might even worsen into a heart demon.


    It was something he had to overcome.


    "Are you sure?" Li Yang asked again.


    "Certain," Li Yuan affirmed assertively, "Next time, I will endeavor to avoid harboring any suicidal thoughts."


    "Alright," Li Yang nodded, no longer dissuading him.


    He recognized that for someone with such a formidable will at a young age like Li Yuan, the heart tends to be extremely resolute.


    Once they have set their minds on something, it is not easily swayed.


    "By the way,"


    "I have made a request to Dean Hai, and he has agreed," Li Yang grinned, "from now on, your monthly free resource quota will increase from 2 million to 4 million."


    "What specific resources you apply for is up to you decide."


    "And if it''s still not enough, you''ll have to find a way yourself," Li Yang added.


    "Got it," Li Yuan nodded.


    In the school, or rather, the national system, there is a cap on the ''resource quota'' for students of different levels.


    Ordinary students at Kunlun Martial University mainly rely on practicing High-Rank Cultivation Methods to enhance their physical quality, and their resource quota is mostly spent on Spirit Nourishing Potions and a few First-Rank blood essence potions, which is enough for them.


    But what about Li Yuan? If he wanted to maintain a rapid advancement, a monthly resource of 4 million Blue Star Coins would still be far from enough.

 Chapter 150: 128: Astonishing Transformation (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

    ...


    After seeing off Li Yang,


    Li Yuan immediately took out a bottle of "High Origin Spirit Spring" from the resting room.


    The crystal bottle contained about half a liter. As soon as the cap was opened, a rich fragrance wafted out.


    It was like someone who had gone hungry for three days and three nights suddenly smelled the aroma of rice,


    and an irresistible urge to gulp it down rose within them.


    "One serving costs a million Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan muttered to himself in amazement.


    It was indeed expensive!


    He quickly swallowed it down.


    Soon, streams of Origin Power madly surged through every muscle and bone in his limbs and body.


    Li Yuan clenched his teeth and gently closed his eyes.


    He was sensing with his mind throughout his entire body.


    He felt every muscle, bone, and organ as if they had been starving for a long time, madly devouring the circulating Origin Power... His physical quality was improving rapidly.


    "The transformation from Solid Rock Cultivation Technique''s draining exercise really is efficient."


    "My body feels as pure as new, there''s not the slightest obstruction to the flow of Origin Power," Li Yuan reflected inwardly.


    The transformation exercise was indeed painful,


    but its results were also outstanding.


    "Phew!"


    Li Yuan began to practice the "Solid Rock Cultivation Technique" in an attempt to maximize the effects of the High Origin Spirit Spring.


    As Li Yuan cultivated, the aching in his body quickly dissipated, gradually returning to normal.


    An hour and a half later.


    "[Your Life Level has increased from 12.8 to 12.9]," a subtle prompt flashed across the Divine Palace panel.


    After another half an hour or so, Li Yuan finally stopped.


    "12.9?" Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, a hint of joy in his eyes, "At this rate of cultivation, I could probably reach around Level 14 in about two months."


    Even without high-rank Cultivation Methods or mastery in techniques,


    Li Yuan''s rate of improvement in physical quality was nothing short of terrifying.


    "Keep pushing!"


    He decisively ordered six nutritious meals and then took a bath.


    Tonight, he still had to engage in actual combat practice with Teacher Jiang Lun.


    ...


    Just like that, Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    having met Dean Hai, Li Yuan had broadened his horizons and was further strengthened by the process of "Solid Rock Cultivation Technique."


    His state of cultivation underwent another change.


    Every day, he began cultivating Visualization Method from early morning.


    For the past year, Li Yuan had been dedicating roughly two hours a day to strengthen his spiritual power without deliberately seeking to temper his willpower.


    But starting from August 9,


    he continuously pursued another extreme of Visualization Method.


    Even while cultivating the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," whenever Li Yuan''s consciousness entered that vast starry sky scene, he would deliberately try to get closer to the scorching sun,


    to make the burning pain his consciousness endured even more horrifying.


    "Before this, my strong willpower was mostly forged passively," Li Yuan thought intensely, "But deep down, my primary purpose was to increase my spiritual power and lessen the pain."


    Before, strengthening spiritual power was the goal, and tempering the will was incidental.


    After all, who would choose to be beaten daily if not necessary?


    "But the truth proves that my willpower is not strong enough, not nearly strong enough!" Li Yuan''s eyes were resolute, "Well then, I will actively temper it."


    "Just becoming stronger in spiritual power? Not enough! My willpower must also progress faster."


    This change made Li Yuan''s process of cultivating the Visualization Method even more painful.


    "Solid Rock Cultivation Technique" was mainly for the physical body,


    whereas the "Scorching Sunburn" of Visualization Method targeted the soul and consciousness, not even allowing for unconsciousness, only successive collapses of consciousness.


    It''s through repeated tempering that steel is made!


    And Li Yuan wanted to forge his spiritual will to be unbreakable and unshakable!


    ...


    During the day, Li Yuan insisted on attending general knowledge classes.


    "Brother Yuan, I feel like your eyes have become different somehow," Gu Qianghan noticed the change in Li Yuan.


    "Is that so?" Li Yuan smiled.


    "Yes."


    "Gu Brother is right, big senior brother, it seems like your gaze has become sharper... It''s the aura... Yes, it''s like a spear, becoming more fierce," An Nong also commented.


    They all noticed the subtle changes in Li Yuan''s aura.


    "Haha, maybe I didn''t rest well," Li Yuan offered a poor excuse, laughing, "Let''s focus on the class."


    Soon, the general knowledge class teacher arrived.


    "Today, we will delve further into the weaknesses of the body structures of nine types of flying Star Realm Creatures, after which, you can switch your combat targets to these creatures in the ''Kunlun Nine Mountains'' to gain a direct experience," the teacher said slowly.


    ...


    Besides general knowledge classes,


    Li Yuan spent almost all his time practicing the Spear Technique and cultivating other methods.


    "Teacher Jiang! Faster! Even faster," Li Yuan wielded his long spear, fiercely battling with Jiang Lun.


    While fighting,


    Li Yuan also roared, "Teacher, I don''t feel the pressure is strong enough, not enough, don''t hold back with me, as long as you don''t kill me, go ahead and beat me to a pulp."


    The long spear was like lightning, its might heavy as a mountain; all sorts of killing moves from the Stellar Spear Technique were unleashed to the fullest by Li Yuan.


    Accompanied by Li Yuan''s roar, that indescribable momentum even made Jiang Lun slightly astonished.


    Having taught students for so many years,


    he had never encountered someone as crazy as Li Yuan.


    "Good, after so many years, I''ve finally come across someone crazier than me," Jiang Lun revealed a smile.


    ...


    In Li Yang''s class.


    "Teacher, with the vigor reaching subtlety and the mind sensing the entire body," Li Yuan raised a question, "then stepping into the Fifth Stage of ''Unity of Heaven and Man,''"


    "is this ''Heaven'' referring to the external environment? Does it mean that from the Fourth Level to the Fifth Stage, the movement technique will break through before the spear technique?"


    "The movement technique is a combination of the mind, body, and the external environment."


    "Smart." Li Yang revealed a smile, "Before the Fourth Level, the movement technique often lags behind the spear technique, swordsmanship, and so on."


    "But from the Fourth Level to the Fifth Stage, it''s often the movement technique that breaks through first."


    ...


    Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was a month later, September 1st.


    Li Yuan had truly come of age.


    Cultural universities all around the world had already begun their sessions one after another.


    And Li Yuan and his peers had truly become freshmen.


    The ''Blue Star Youth Ranking'' and ''Blue Star Young Heroes Ranking'' had all been updated.


    The ranking for Li Yuan''s 2042-2043 class was fixed, becoming history.


    Li Yuan''s final ranking on the Blue Star Young Heroes Ranking was 16th globally and 4th in Xia Country.


    This did not necessarily mean that the top 15 were stronger than Li Yuan, just that they had higher points in the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    The new ''Blue Star Youth Ranking'' belonged to the new class of global high school seniors, who had their own exciting stories.


    ...


    On September 8th, Li Yang once again came to Li Yuan''s villa, bringing with him a new portion of ''Hundred Marrow Spirit Drought''.


    "Have you thought it through? You still can give up," Li Yang asked finally.


    "Teacher."


    "You''re already here," Li Yuan grinned, a glint of anticipation in his eyes, "Today, I really want to try again to see if the Hundred Marrow Spirit Drought can defeat me."


    "Fine."


    Ten minutes later.


    "Ahh!" The endless, horrific pain enveloped his entire body, tormenting Li Yuan to the brink of madness.


    He was howling in agony.


    The pain climbed to its zenith.


    The terrible efficacy of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Drought erupted; its erosion and torment of the body was something a normal Martial Artist could not possibly withstand.


    But this time,


    Li Yuan, though howling in agony and his body turning crimson, his teeth clamped down almost to the point of drawing blood,


    clenched his fists tight, his bloodshot eyes looking as though they would burst, yet he still maintained a sliver of sanity.


    Hold on!


    Hold on!!


    I must hold on!! These thoughts erupted continuously from the depths of Li Yuan''s spirit.


    On the path to becoming a powerful warrior, one could fail, one could lose.


    But one''s heart must never bow! Never cower!


    In terms of sheer talent, Li Yuan was actually not particularly strong.


    But deep down, he had the madness and the resolve to challenge anything.


    Half an hour.


    In Li Yuan''s consciousness, it seemed longer than the past year.


    Finnaly,


    the effects of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Drought were rapidly waning, the hellish pain steadily diminishing, and though still painful... Li Yuan suddenly felt a sense of relief.


    A comfort that came from the soul.


    It was an absolute delight.


    "Haha! Great!" Li Yuan lay on the ground, his limbs still twitching with pain, as he couldn''t help but cough and laugh heartily, "This feels amazing!"


    In the distance, Li Yang was shocked.


    He had watched the whole process clear as day.


    He had been ready to stop Li Yuan again,


    but he had never expected that, just a month later, Li Yuan, who had suffered to the point of near-suicide and eventually lost consciousness last time,


    this time, while seeming still in agony, had actually endured it.


    This Transformation of willpower was simply beyond belief.


    After a while, Li Yuan gradually returned to normal, lying on the ground resting.


    "Amazing!" Li Yang inwardly uttered two words.


    Talents often inspire envy.


    But it''s those with great resolution and willpower that truly earn respect.


    "I, Li Yang."


    Thinking over it, Li Yang couldn''t help but reveal a slight smile, "In my lifetime, to have the chance to teach such a disciple."


    Although Li Yuan was his student,


    and although Li Yuan''s strength was still very weak,


    at this moment, Li Yang had already made up his mind that Li Yuan''s future achievements would far surpass his own.

 Chapter 151: 129: October, Finally Understanding the Stellar Five Forms (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Kunlun Martial University, deep within the vast villa district that belonged to the Sixth Institute.


    It was very quiet, with only a handful of super-sized villas, each beside its own lake.


    This area was on the outer periphery of Kunlun Martial University. It was September, and with the sun setting in the west, the not-too-large lake surface shimmered, presenting a stunningly beautiful scene, akin to a gorgeous painting.


    "You''re saying, Li Yuan took the ''Hundred Marrow Spirit Drought'' for the second time, and bore it all by himself?" Dean Hai, dressed in blue, was leisurely sitting on the grass beside the villa, wearing sunglasses and fishing.


    A parasol was erected, shielding him from the sunlight.


    Beside him, someone was continuously cutting fresh fruit and was also constantly replacing drinks on the table that were no longer chilled.


    "Yes," Li Yang replied solemnly, standing in the sunlight, "His willpower seems to have improved a lot since last month."


    "Not bad," Dean Hai said indifferently after taking a sip of his cold drink, "What''s his Physical Quality level now?"


    "Almost 13.4," Li Yang said.


    "The progression is slower than I expected, but it''s still acceptable," Dean Hai said indifferently, "At this rate of improvement, he probably won''t be able to participate in the next Combat Assessment."


    "Dean is wise," Li Yang nodded and said, "The next Combat Assessment is expected to be at the end of February next year. By then, his Physical Quality will most likely reach level 15. Participating in the Combat Assessment... would hold no value for polishing his skills."


    The intention behind the Combat Assessment is to temper the students, to let them feel the pressure of life and death.


    However, if you combine Fourth Level high-rank skills with Physical Quality above level 15, it would lead to chaos at the Fifth Combat Assessment base.


    It would then be losing the original purpose of the Combat Assessment.


    As for higher-level Combat Assessments?


    Given human civilization''s overall strength, it''s very difficult to capture that many advanced members of an Alien Race because they are hard to control, and any carelessness could cause serious trouble.


    Secondly, Martial Artists above level 15 can play a significant role in many places.


    Therefore, once Physical Quality exceeds level 15, it is often real combat, not an assessment.


    "Fine."


    "If he progresses quickly enough to reach level 15 ahead of time, let him head to ''Mingxu Star Realm'' before January next year for his first life-and-death experience," Dean Hai said indifferently, "If he is a bit slower, then let him go in March."


    "January or March next year? So soon for a life-and-death challenge?" Li Yang was startled, and couldn''t help saying: "Dean Hai, his freshman year hasn''t even ended, shouldn''t we wait for Li Yuan''s strength to be stronger?"


    "Mingxu Star Realm is rife with Exotic Beasts, and we''ve only established observation points. If he just reached level 15 and then went in, it might be a bit dangerous," Li Yang explained. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Different from the Combat Assessment, the risks of the assessment are relatively controlled.


    But venturing into a Star Realm, like Mingxu Star Realm which is a true ''pioneering Star Realm'' still in the Inquiry phase.


    Once danger is encountered, rescue is not immediate, and Li Yuan would have to rely solely on himself.


    "Mingxu Star Realm is just a First Level Star Realm."


    "The preliminary Inquiry results show that Second Rank native lifeforms are sparse in the entire Mingxu Star Realm, with a moderate level of danger." Dean Hai said indifferently, "There is indeed danger, but it''s precisely because of the danger that he can truly be tempered."


    "If he is nurtured in a greenhouse all the time, when will he grow up?"


    "Li Yuan is different from the other students," Li Yang insisted, "Other students, most of them resort to..."


    "There is no difference," Dean Hai gave a sideways glance to Li Yang, and said indifferently, "I understand what you mean. If Li Yuan continues practicing by the book, he can surely cultivate straight to level 20, or even a higher level."


    Li Yang subconsciously nodded his head.


    Why do most students go forth for life-and-death experiences after reaching level 15? They''ve hit a ceiling, and improvement is too slow.


    At that time, without the stimulus of life and death, entering Fourth Stage skills would be almost hopeless.


    "But my perspective is different from yours," Dean Hai looked at Li Yang, "I am not cultivating him to become a Prime Warrior."


    "I hope he can become a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "If he wants to create Laws, then the higher and younger his skills are, the better his chances of success."


    "Furthermore, he''s special. To become a Flying Heaven Warrior, he must have Sixth Stage Skills." Dean Hai explained patiently, "If he practices by the book, he would likely reach Subtlety next year."


    "And then what?"


    "From Fourth Stage to Fifth Stage, if there is no external stimulus, through regular cultivation, can you be sure when he''ll break through?" Dean Hai posed the question back.


    Li Yang shook his head, speechless.


    Skill cultivation becomes increasingly difficult to break through as one progresses.


    The jump from Third Stage Perfection to Fourth Stage can trap the vast majority of Martial Artists.


    Like any student from Kunlun Martial University, they could have easily been termed ''top students'' in their adolescence.


    But if you broaden the time frame to twenty or even thirty years after graduation, the number of students who actually become Prime Warriors barely exceeds 40%.


    Let alone reaching Fifth Stage Perfection ''Subtlety'' from Fourth Stage Circle Perfection; this is an even bigger bottleneck.


    If one''s skills can step into Fifth Stage, combined with high-rank Cultivation Methods, one can smoothly cultivate to level 29 as a Prime Warrior.


    A level 29 Prime Warrior, in the outside world, is already a highly influential figure in any region or state.


    At present Kunlun Martial University, there are some students who have reached Subtlety.


    But Fifth Stage Skill students? Not a single one.


    "From a level 29 Prime Warrior to a level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior, it''s like a chasm," Dean Hai said indifferently, "To become a Flying Heaven Warrior, skills must be at least at Fifth Stage Perfection."


    "The greater the potential, the stronger the body, the harder it is to break through."


    "Like Yu Jinghe, who has surpassed the ''Heavenly'' realm and has stepped into the Sixth Stage and truly begun to comprehend the Laws."


    "And what of it? He is still a level 29 Prime Warrior," Dean Hai said indifferently, "You yourself have Fifth Stage skills, don''t you understand?"


    Li Yang was at a loss for words.


    Didn''t he understand? Of course, he did!


    Li Yang himself was equally trapped at the Fifth Stage of skills.


    "Coddling along the way, having a smooth and worry-free cultivation might seem good, but Li Yuan would be able to safely cultivate to level 20 or even beyond level 25."

 Chapter 152: 129: October, Finally Understanding the Stellar Five Forms (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

    ```


    "But without the stimulus of life and death, his spirit will hardly grow genuinely, and his comprehension and nature will struggle to transform," Dean Hai said, "Just like Fang Hai, how exceptional was he back then? Because he was too exceptional, Starfire Martial Hall was reluctant to let him undergo tempering, fearing his death. And in the end?"


    "Becoming a Flying Heaven is indeed impressive, but does it do justice to the talent Fang Hai initially exhibited?"


    "A jade uncut won''t make a ware."


    "I have high hopes for Li Yuan."


    "I just hope that while his heart still retains its sharpness and energy, he advances with courage and vigor," Dean Hai looked at Li Yang, "Do you have any thoughts?"


    Li Yang shook his head repeatedly, like a bobblehead doll.


    Big brother! When you put it that way, am I even allowed to have any objections? S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However.


    Li Yang knew in his heart that Dean Hai had a point.


    "Rest assured, venturing through life and death is also a phase," Dean Hai''s voice softened again, "After he''s ventured for a while, he will return to the school to cultivate in tranquility. Combining the two approaches will yield the best results."


    "Yes," Li Yang nodded.


    Thump~


    The buoy on the nearby lake surface suddenly jerked.


    "Got a bite," Dean Hai revealed a smile and quickly lifted the fishing rod.


    A small fish was hooked and pulled up.


    ...


    As for Dean Hai and Li Yang agreeing on Li Yuan''s next stage of cultivation, Li Yuan himself was in the dark.


    He still immersed himself wholly in his cultivation, occasionally¡ª


    "Oh?"


    "Qian Qian and Muhua got transferred to a school directly under Martial Hall? Did they agree to it?" Li Yuan called his uncle Li Changzhou on V-chat, "Oh? If they are willing, then fine, it''s your call, Uncle."


    Every three to five days.


    Li Yuan would contact his family, which was one of his few ''mental relaxations''.


    And then.


    He would dive back into his cultivation.


    "With the help of the Hundred Marrow Cleansing, I''m absorbing the High Origin Spirit Spring at an incredible rate," Li Yuan sighed, "In August alone, I used up a whole nine portions."


    Nine portions, that''s 9 million Blue Star Coins!


    Apart from the four portions given by the school, Li Yuan paid for five portions himself.


    "In September, I might even need ten portions," Li Yuan thought.


    This rate of resource consumption was terrifying.


    The greater the consumption, the more astounding the results.


    As martial artists progress, their improvements usually slow down, especially in terms of Life Level.


    But for Li Yuan, it was quite the opposite; since his Entry Rank, his Life Level grade had been accelerating steadily.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, your Physical Quality is improving too quickly," Jiang Lun, the practical combat teacher, was the most astonished.


    He conducted practical combat training every three days and could distinctly perceive¡ª


    Every time he saw Li Yuan, Li Yuan''s speed and strength had visibly improved.


    Such a rate of transformation was absolutely astounding.


    "Teacher, that''s why I''m saying I''m a genius," Li Yuan said with a chuckle, "Come on, Teacher, you''re not leaving today unless you let me have a good time."


    "You rascal," Jiang Lun laughed.


    ...


    "Teacher Jiang," Li Yang approached Jiang Lun privately.


    "President Li," Jiang Lun was very honest.


    He appeared polite and studious outwardly, but he was wild at heart and knew very well who he could and couldn''t provoke.


    "Regarding the extent of Li Yuan''s Physical Quality enhancement, don''t let it leak out," Li Yang said gravely, "The highest authorities of the school have plans, and it''s an order directly from Dean Hai."


    "Understood," Jiang Lun had already begun imagining scenarios.


    Besides Jiang Lun.


    The other two regular Prime Warriors who often trained with Li Yuan were likewise entrusted by Li Yang not to disclose anything.


    ...


    Aside from Li Yuan diligently cultivating.


    All the freshmen at Kunlun Martial University had gradually adapted to the university''s cultivation pace and were fully engrossed in their practice.


    People like Gu Qiang and An Nong were also progressing very quickly as time went by.


    Before a general education class started¡ª


    "Brother Yuan, my skill has reached the Intermediate Rank of the Third Stage," Gu Qiang said excitedly, "And my body just reached Entry Rank yesterday, hitting level 10.0."


    "Congratulations," Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    Gu Qiang''s pace of progress¡­ was decent among the new students of Kunlun Martial University.


    Especially in terms of Physical Quality, he was actually in the top tier.


    However, given his family''s background, it was somewhat slow.


    "By the way."


    "Brother Yuan, my sister asked about you the other day," Gu Qiang suddenly said.


    "Your sister?" Li Yuan was taken aback, Lin Lanyue?


    The two hadn''t contacted each other for several months.


    "How is she doing in Starry Sky University?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    Starry Sky University was far away on the Lantis Continent, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.


    And far from Xia Country.


    "She''ll be fine with my big brother there as a teacher," Gu Qiang shrugged his shoulders.


    Li Yuan realized that the ''big brother'' Gu Qiang mentioned was probably Brother Lin.


    "It seems her Physical Quality is almost at level 13 now, and her skill has reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level. She''s making extraordinarily rapid progress. Honestly, even Wu Dongdong probably can''t match her in a real fight now," Gu Qiang said thoughtfully, then smiled, "But she still can''t catch up to you, Brother Yuan."


    Wu Dongdong had also enrolled at Starry Sky University.


    "Lin Lanyue is almost at level 13? Fourth Level Intermediate Rank?" Li Yuan was surprised.


    Such incredible progress.


    Physical Quality aside, when Lin Lanyue entered the Entry Rank back in April, with her talent and resources, it was understandable that she could improve by more than two levels in nearly half a year.


    But her skill?


    Li Yuan remembered very clearly, right before and after the high school exams, Lin Lanyue seemed to have just broken through to the Fourth Level of skill.


    Because her exams in skills scored full marks.


    Yet, in just a few months, to have risen to the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level?


    "Indeed, one must never underestimate anyone," Li Yuan mused, feeling genuinely happy for his friend''s progress.


    ...


    Time continued to pass day by day, and before long, September ended and October arrived.


    The weather was no longer hot.


    Cultural universities would have a four-day holiday in October, but Martial Arts University only had a two-day vacation.

 Chapter 153: 129: October, Finally Understanding the Stellar Five Forms (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

    ```


    Li Yuan had the rare pleasure of taking a flying machine to Fengjing, the capital of Longxi Province, with Gu Qianghan, and enjoyed a day of relaxation.


    "Need to heed Uncle''s advice,"


    "Having toiled for three months, taking a day off occasionally isn''t a bad thing." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Training too requires moderation."


    On October 2nd, Li Yuan returned early to Kunlun Martial University.


    Inside the villa, the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Stellar Illumination."


    Li Yuan was immersed in practicing his Spear Technique, engaging in fierce combat with a Level 21 combat coach before him.


    Mainly, it was Li Yuan attacking and the coach defending.


    Dawn Piercing Clouds, Galaxy Waterfall, Meteor Fall... The moves of the Stellar Spear Technique had been practiced millions of times and were etched into Li Yuan''s bones. Now, they were constantly being executed.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang! Clang!" The combat coach, armed with dual shields, was deflecting Li Yuan''s every move like lightning.


    His skill level hadn''t caught up with Li Yuan.


    But with his superior physical quality, he could easily block Li Yuan''s attacks.


    "Twelve Continuous Strikes." Li Yuan fully erupted, his blood and Qi boiling as though on fire.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    The spear light flowed grandly, each thrust surpassing the last, casting blurred shadows.


    Too fast.


    If he were to face the "Level 14.1 chieftain of the Rock Desert Tribe" now, he would be killed by Li Yuan in an instant.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The Twelve Continuous Strikes reached their limit and Li Yuan''s spirit and power peaked.


    In that moment, he became extremely excited.


    "Kill!" With his final thrust, Li Yuan felt an unparalleled thrill, without the slightest pause, manipulating his long spear to send out a sky full of spear shadows.


    Each thrust seemed real.


    Each thrust also seemed illusory.


    Instantly, there were definitely more than forty spear shadows, causing the combat coach, a Prime Warrior, to see a blur before his eyes.


    Stellar Spear Technique''s fifth move¡ªVast Sky Battle!


    "[Your Spear Technique Realm has increased from Fourth Level 73% to Fourth Level 78%]"


    "[Your Fist Technique Realm has increased from Fourth Level 75% to Fourth Level 79%]" Two Divine Palace alerts flashed by.


    After two months of arduous training, Li Yuan had finally managed to execute the entire fifth move of the Stellar Spear Technique today!


    "Clang!"


    The sole authentic and terrifying spear shadow cut through the vast sky, like lightning piercing the shields, striking directly at the combat coach''s chest.


    An appalling impact force of tens of thousands of kilograms erupted, causing the combat coach to retreat unconsciously, only then dissipating the force.


    Both sides stopped instinctively.


    "Impressive."


    Coach Peng sincerely exclaimed, "Li Yuan, this thrust of yours is much stronger than before, I couldn''t even stop it."


    "Peng Bro, you''re joking," Li Yuan replied with a smile, "That''s because you haven''t fully unleashed your strength and speed. Otherwise, no matter how fast my spear is, could it really exceed yours?"


    A Level 21 Prime Warrior can unleash Fist Strength of over 120,000 kilograms.


    With Origin Power in play, their bodies are harder than steel.


    A First Rank Martial Artist and a Second Rank Prime Warrior are simply not comparable.


    "Physical quality doesn''t count for much; it will inevitably improve. Skill is fundamental," Coach Peng sighed, "Li Yuan, your Spear Technique must be nearing the Subtlety of the soul."


    Li Yuan smiled slightly, glancing over his Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 13.8 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 7329 kilograms


    Speed: 40.9 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 22.9 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 25% (Current limit 25%, physical quality not strong enough to withstand Spiritual Guidance)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 78%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 69%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 79%)


    [Note: When Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, Spiritual Guidance will be obtained step by step.]


    ...


    "With all five moves of the Stellar Spear Technique comprehended, continuous practice will gradually get me to Fourth Level 90%," Li Yuan realized.


    Though his Spear Technique seemed merely at Fourth Level 78%, Li Yuan knew he was getting closer to reaching the Subtlety of the soul.


    "Physical Quality at 13.8, in at most half a month, I should reach Level 14," Li Yuan anticipated with excitement.


    ... At ten o''clock at night, Li Yuan had already sent the combat coach away and was still practicing in the Martial Arts Room.


    Suddenly. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan''s intelligent bracelet vibrated, he looked down.


    "Eh? A school notification?" Li Yuan extended his hand to click on it, a light screen emerged showing the specific content of the notification.


    "The Inter-Scholastic Rookie Fight (Virtual Combat), invitation notice." Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Me, to be selected as ''seed player'' of Kunlun Martial University?"


    "Directly entering the second round?"


    ```

 Chapter 155: 131 The Strongest Opponent

    "Garava? Li Yuan?" The three students in the meeting room all showed puzzled expressions.


    They had never heard of them.


    In fact, as freshmen who had just entered university, they were far from the global university Martial Arts competition and few paid attention to students from other schools.


    Just like Li Yuan, he would not deliberately pay attention to geniuses from other schools¡ªit wasn''t very meaningful.


    "According to the intelligence we''ve collected, both of them have reached the Bright Moon Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network," the elder in a black robe said. "Garava broke through at the beginning of July, and Li Yuan at the beginning of August."


    "Bright Moon Stage?"


    "Garava broke through at the beginning of July? Doesn''t that mean he did so earlier than me and Guan Ying?" The tallest youth among them said in a deep voice, "How could such a talent remain within Tianzhu Country?"


    "The reason is unclear."


    The elder in the black robe shook his head, "Regional Martial Arts Universities may not have students with overall qualities as great as ours, but with a large number and large base, occasionally super talents will emerge."


    "Like Kunlun Martial University, last year they produced Jin Huguo, who reached the Subtlety of the soul in his sophomore year and entered the top hundred of the virtual combat of the global Martial Arts Universities competition," the elder in the black robe said. "Many of your senior classmates were defeated by him.


    By next February when he competes again, he will be even stronger; it''s possible for him to reach the top twenty or even top ten."


    Subtlety of the soul?


    The burly youth and the young woman both showed serious expressions on their faces.


    From the high rank of Fourth Level to the Perfection of Fourth Level, even though they were the top elites of Starfire University, they couldn''t say for sure that they would breakthrough by their sophomore year.


    "Alright."


    "The documents about those two and the collected combat data, as well as information on other schools'' Fourth Level masters, have all been sent to your personal Virtual Space," the elder in the black robe said. "Go look at them privately later."


    "You may leave now."


    "Yes." The three students stood up.


    Soon, they all arrived outside the meeting room.


    Suddenly.


    The extraordinarily handsome young man in black clothes stopped, turned his head towards the burly youth and the young woman, "Yu Ming, Guan Ying, work hard, I don''t want you to fail to even make the top four. That would be too embarrassing for our university."


    "Dantai Feng, you..." The burly youth''s expression changed.


    The young woman next to him quickly shot him a warning glance.


    "What? Can''t accept it?" The young man in black clothes glanced at the burly youth, "If you''re not convinced, whether it''s actual combat or virtual battle, you pick."


    Flames seemed to spray from the burly youth''s eyes.


    "Don''t be arrogant, thinking that just because you were third in the college entrance examination in Xia Country you will always be third," Dantai Feng said indifferently. "Tian Dazhuang is progressing no slower than you, he''s also at the high rank of Fourth Level."


    "Lin Lanyue from Starry Sky University has awakened high Spiritual Nature and her strength has grown rapidly."


    "As for Li Yuan?"


    "I don''t mind telling you." Dantai Feng glanced at them both, "He might have been late in reaching the high rank of Fourth Level, but his rate of progress is the most terrifying. A year ago, he had just reached the initial rank of Third Stage."


    Yu Ming and Guan Ying''s expressions completely changed.


    A year''s time, from the initial rank of Third Stage to the high rank of Fourth Level? That was exaggeration.


    Phew!


    The young man in black clothes seemed uninterested in them and went straight away, disappearing from their view.


    "Damn it, always showing off in front of us."


    Yu Ming''s eyes seemed to spit fire, "If he''s so capable, he should show off in front of Salvatore."


    "Stop it." Guan Ying shook her head, "It''s normal for Dantai Feng to be proud with such a background and high talent."


    "His warning is correct."


    "This time, we can''t be careless," Guan Ying said seriously. "We could accept losing to Li Yuan, that would just be an internal competition within Xia Country, stew in our own juice, but losing to Garava would be a true disgrace."


    "Hmph!"


    "He''s worried about us losing?" Yu Ming scoffed, "He should be careful not to capsize in the drainage ditch and lose his first place...Guan Ying, I know what''s at stake, I''m heading back first."


    Mid-sentence.


    Yu Ming himself felt it was somewhat unrealistic. Dantai Feng lose first place?


    The odds were too small!


    After all, Dantai Feng was already at the high rank of Fourth Level in swordsmanship, the first in Xia Country, before the college entrance examination.


    A few months into Starfire University, he still was absolutely among the top three of the freshmen.


    Even Salvatore, recognized as the strongest, couldn''t confidently say he would win in a virtual battle.


    When the level of skill is close, the outcome of a battle depends a lot on the state at that moment.


    ...


    After getting explanations from the teacher in the Xuanwu Building about potential ''Fourth Level masters'' from various schools.


    By noon.


    Li Yuan returned to his villa, went to the basement Martial Arts Room, turned on the screen projection, and started looking through the ''information files'' the teacher had just sent over.


    "Dantai Feng, Yu Ming, Guan Ying, Garava." Li Yuan looked at the four names that were specially highlighted in the file.


    All four of them were at the Bright Moon Stage.


    The file included videos of their combats, but most were from before the college entrance examination and had only referential value.


    Li Yuan examined them one by one.


    "Hm?"


    "This Dantai Feng." Li Yuan watched the young man in black clothes easily defeat a series of Fallen Star stage masters on the screen and muttered to himself, "This coordination of Sword and Shield Technique, could it be that he''s at the high rank of Fourth Level?"


    Already at the high rank of Fourth Level before the college entrance examination?


    Li Yuan wasn''t sure.


    "With such talent, and another four months passed, how strong must he be now?" Li Yuan felt the pressure, "Has he reached Subtlety already?"


    If Dantai Feng had reached Subtlety, then there was a big gap between them.


    Despite Li Yuan''s rapid progress, having mastered the five forms of the Stellar Spear Technique, he was still a ways off from reaching the 90% that represents Subtlety in the Fourth Stage.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, Tian Dazhuang is calling you on V-comm, voice chat," the intelligent assistant informed.


    "Tian Dazhuang?" Li Yuan paused, then said with a smile, "Connect."


    Beep¡ªThe voice chat was established.


    "Dazhuang." Li Yuan said with a smile, taking the initiative to speak.


    The appellation was quite close.


    "Li Yuan."


    From the darkened screen, a deep voice came through, tinged with a hint of a smile, "Thank you for our last battle on the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "It''s nothing," Li Yuan said with a smile. "You were about to break through then. Even if I had interrupted you, you''d have stabilized your realm in two or three days at most."


    "Yeah." Tian Dazhuang said, "You know about the three wildcard entrants in the ten-school freshman battle, right?"


    "Yeah, Dantai Feng... they are all from your Starfire University," Li Yuan said outright, naming the three people.


    He guessed that Tian Dazhuang must have had something urgent to say to call him out of the blue.


    "These three people, Yu Ming and Guan Ying are about as strong as I am, and for you, beating them shouldn''t be too hard," Tian Dazhuang said in a deep voice. "But be careful with Dantai Feng; he was already at the high rank of Fourth Level before the college entrance exam."


    "Now, he must be close to reaching the Subtlety of the soul," Tian Dazhuang continued.


    "Subtlety of the soul?" Li Yuan''s heart stirred, and he couldn''t help asking, "Has he reached it?"


    "Not yet."


    ```


    Tian Dazhuang confirmed, "I sparred with him just two days ago, and if his psyche had achieved subtlety, I wouldn''t last ten moves against him; he practices the ''Flowing Light Sword Technique''... You can watch more videos of masters from this style battling."


    "However, I can''t share his specific combat videos with you. I hope you understand," said Tian Dazhuang.


    "I understand," Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    There are clear rules about this, and Li Yuan, too, couldn''t share other students'' combat videos at will.


    "I appreciate receiving this information. Thank you," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "You''ve helped me before, so naturally, I should help you too," Tian Dazhuang replied with a smile. "Besides, I want you to win."


    "You want me to win?" Li Yuan asked in surprise. "If they lose, wouldn''t Starfire University also lose face?"


    "What do I care, it''s not my face being lost, and I even want to fight to win rewards. It''s just a pity the school doesn''t give me the chance," Tian Dazhuang replied with a laugh. "As for Dantai Feng... I''ve always wanted to beat him up, but sadly, I''m not strong enough."


    "Push yourself and try to beat him up for me."


    ...


    After ending the communication with Tian Dazhuang. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This Dantai Feng, he really knows how to make himself hated," Li Yuan said, shaking his head with a wry smile. "Even someone with Tian Dazhuang''s temperament can''t stand him."


    However, from Tian Dazhuang''s words, Li Yuan sensed how strong the other party was.


    The realm of skill.


    Most likely above his own.


    "But as to who will win, that only becomes clear after the battle," Li Yuan said, as he turned and began walking upstairs.


    Entering the virtual network, Li Yuan started watching videos of masters using the ''Flowing Light Sword Technique'' in battle.


    ...


    After familiarizing himself with the necessary knowledge.


    Li Yuan returned to the underground Martial Arts Room and resumed spear practice without any impatience in his heart.


    "Dantai Feng?"


    "Let him be as strong as he is, as long as I do my best, there''s hope for winning," Li Yuan said calmly in his heart. "If I really lose, then it would mean I wasn''t strong enough."


    "If I''m not strong enough, then I''ll continue to train and become stronger."


    Li Yuan pursued victory, but victory is just a result. The process determines the result, and he wouldn''t be discouraged if he didn''t win in the end.


    Doing his best is above all else.


    ...


    In the afternoon, Li Yang also sought Li Yuan, sharing similar information to Tian Dazhuang''s.


    ...


    That evening, someone unexpectedly video-called Li Yuan.


    Seeing the flickering name on the screen.


    Li Yuan, who was practicing his spear in silence, hesitated.


    After three seconds of hesitation.


    He answered!


    The video call connected, and on the screen projection appeared a short-haired woman dressed in a red Xia martial attire.


    Compared to half a year ago, she seemed more mature, her face less childish and three parts more heroic.


    It felt like a real transformation.


    "Lin Lanyue." Li Yuan greeted with a smile. "Long time no see. What brings you to contact me all of a sudden?"


    "Can''t I contact you?" The Lin Lanyue in the video replied with a smile.


    The background of the video showed that she was also in a Martial Arts Room.


    "Gu Qiang told me that the ten-school freshman competition starts tomorrow. Do you have confidence in defeating Dantai Feng?" Lin Lanyue got straight to the point.


    Clearly, she was well-informed about the ten-school freshman competition.


    "Nope," Li Yuan admitted with a smile. "He should be close to achieving subtlety in spirit. I think I''m still a bit behind in the skill realm, but to say that I have no confidence at all wouldn''t be true. As for winning or losing, we''ll only know after we actually fight."


    "It seems you also have your ways to get information about him," Lin Lanyue said with a laugh.


    "These are the only pieces of information I know," Li Yuan shrugged and replied with a smile. "To understand his strength further, I''ll have to wait for the actual competition."


    "Right."


    "I''ve collected a combat video for you to take a look at," Lin Lanyue said coolly. "It might help you some."


    With a *ding*, instantly,


    Li Yuan received a notification, and a video file was added.


    "Is this Dantai Feng''s video?" Li Yuan asked without accepting it, unable to help himself. "Isn''t that against the rules?"


    "It''s not against the rules."


    "You''ll see when you watch it," Lin Lanyue replied with a smile. "Okay, when you make it to the finals, I''ll come to cheer you on."


    "My real combat teacher is here, I have to hang up now."


    "Alright."


    Li Yuan nodded, and suddenly he said, "My uncle''s situation, thank you for that."


    Lin Lanyue paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "I told you last time, it was just a coincidence, don''t worry about it."


    "Good luck!"


    ...


    After ending the call, Li Yuan stared at the ''video file'' on the screen, hesitating.


    He clicked to open it.


    It wasn''t the Dantai Feng combat video he had anticipated.


    But it was a duel between two masters.


    One wielded a long spear, employing the Stellar Spear Technique.


    The other used a sword and shield, displaying the ''Flowing Light Sword Technique'' and the ''Vajra Shield Technique''.


    Both combatants had skills at the high rank of the Fourth Level.


    "What is this?" Li Yuan muttered to himself in surprise.


    Soon, Li Yuan realized it wasn''t just a single combat video.


    There were nine in total.


    The two masters were consistent in their choice of weapons and moves, but their skill levels kept varying, starting from the initial high rank of the Fourth Level and progressing towards the peak, even reaching the subtlety of the Fourth Level.


    "These are simulated battles!"


    "They''re simulating the different combat scenarios that could occur between Dantai Feng and me," Li Yuan realized with a surge of emotion.


    This seemingly simple collection of combat videos must have taken a lot of effort to compile.


    ...


    Time passed.


    On October 4, the first round of the competition had nothing to do with Li Yuan.


    He didn''t pay much attention to it, continuing his training as usual.


    On the morning of October 5,


    Li Yuan was about to face his first cage match battle.


    ```

 Chapter 156: 132: The Center of Attention (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Virtual Network.


    The Rookie Contest of ten schools was held on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, and after entering the second round, a special combat space was opened up, allowing spectators from all schools to enter and watch.


    Eight o''clock in the morning.


    Li Yuan entered the Starry Skies Fighting Network, and since his identity had already been registered, he could directly enter the ''Rookie Contest Space of Ten Schools''.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of light, Li Yuan found himself in an extraordinarily large arena space.


    In the very center was a circular melee stage with a diameter of over 200 meters.


    Surrounding it were densely packed spectators that formed a sea of people. At a glance, there were probably more than a hundred thousand.


    Li Yuan was sitting in the spectator area very close to the stage.


    "Brother Yuan, you''ve finally arrived," Gu Qianghan, who was sitting in front, said excitedly with a smile, "The matches are about to start, and you, a seeded contestant, are not arriving earlier."


    "Big Senior Brother!"


    "Big Senior Brother." All around, sitting densely packed, were juniors from the Sixth Institute.


    Further away? With a glance, Li Yuan recognized many familiar figures, students from other academies in their first year.


    There were a lot of people.


    "Li Yuan, good luck," a shout suddenly came from behind him.


    Li Yuan turned his head and couldn''t help but show a hint of a smile¡ªit was Senior Sister Qiu Jing who was cheering for him.


    She was gathering with many second-year students.


    "Why are there so many people?" Li Yuan turned back and sat down, unable to help but ask.


    "Big Senior Brother, didn''t you come to watch the contest yesterday?" An Nong said with a smile next to him.


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    With Dantai Feng, a top-notch expert, participating, it was incredibly difficult to secure the first place; he dared not relax.


    Yesterday, he was fully devoted to practicing.


    "The contestants are only students from our ten schools, plus a few wildcard students," Gu Qianghan explained, "But as for the spectators, in addition to students from our ten schools, students from the three top-tier martial schools also have permission to watch."


    Li Yuan understood in an instant.


    No wonder, the night before last, Lin Lanyue had said, once he made it to the finals, she would come to watch.


    "Moreover, the participating countries, like Xia Country, Sakura Country, ASEAN, Tianzhu Country... will also allow students from their own ordinary martial arts universities to watch and learn," An Nong said with a chuckle, "Like our country''s twenty-nine ordinary martial arts universities, their students can come to watch."


    "Only first-year students are combating, but students from the second to fifth year can still watch."


    "So,"


    "theoretically, the number of spectators could certainly exceed three million," An Nong exclaimed with emotion, "Of course, that''s just theoretical. Students above the third year basically do not pay attention to this event."


    "The main audience consists of first-years along with a few second-years."


    "But just yesterday, the peak number of spectators exceeded two hundred thousand."


    "Today is the Cage Melee, which is even more exciting; according to past years'' data, surpassing five hundred thousand spectators should not be difficult," An Nong said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Spectator Platform in the distance, where even more ''spectator seats'' seemed to be appearing.


    Five hundred thousand spectators? That''s terrifying!


    One must know, this virtual spectating isn''t like watching on a screen, but rather a true simulation of ''arena spectating''; with every additional person, an extra spectator seat is created.


    Fortunately, this is the virtual network, where constructing a virtual fighting platform is quite easy.


    In reality, it would be impossible to find a competition venue that could accommodate a million spectators.


    "The Cage Melee has ten rounds in the morning and ten in the afternoon," Gu Qianghan couldn''t help but say, "Brother Yuan, which round are you in?"


    "3 and 17," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    After yesterday''s first round ended, all the students who had advanced to the second round had received their battle order.


    "I''m in the 6th and 12th matches," An Nong said helplessly.


    "Making it to the second round is pretty good," Li Yuan smiled. "You''re better than Gu Qiangh¨¤n."


    "Damn it, Brother Yuan, don''t be like that. I was only a little short of making it to the second round, with a ranking of over three thousand in the first round," Gu Qiangh¨¤n couldn''t help but say.


    People around them all laughed.


    Li Yuan laughed as well.


    "Our Sixth Institute had 67 people make it into the second round, ranking second in numbers amongst the eight institutes," An Nong introduced to Li Yuan. "In the entire school, a total of 453 made it to the second round, ranking first among the ten schools."


    "Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    In the global view, Kunlun Martial University is considered just below the top three premier martial arts universities.


    It''s in the top five.


    Of course, there''s quite a sizable gap between this global top five martial arts university and the top three.


    Time passed.


    As the time for the main competition drew nearer, the number of spectators also kept increasing. When the time reached eight-thirty, the number of spectators had already surpassed 400,000 and was steadily heading towards 500,000.


    400,000 people gathered at a spectator platform? What kind of concept is that?


    Heads crowded everywhere¡ªit was a packed sea of people, and the atmosphere within the entire battle space was incredibly fervent.


    Students from various universities engaged in spirited discussions.


    Finally, at 8:30 AM.


    Even though there are slight timezone differences across countries, since they aren''t too far apart in reality, the impact isn''t very large.


    Whoosh!


    A huge brilliance streaked across the sky hundreds of meters high, followed closely by giant light screens that materialized above the Spectator Platform, all aimed at every corner of the central ring.


    These allowed any spectator, no matter where they sat around the fighting ring, to clearly see everything on the platform.


    Even more, in front of each spectator, there was a ''Starry Sky Combat Screen'' they could manually adjust.


    Apart from watching through the combat screens, every spectator could also send ''live commentary'' in real time.


    "Welcome students from all the prestigious martial path academies," a deep voice erupted.


    A burly man in a black robe appeared on the platform, with the character ''Martial Path'' emblazoned across his chest.


    His voice also spread throughout the entire battle space.


    "Today marks the second round of the freshman fight for ten schools; it is the most exhilarating ''cage melee''," the burly man announced with a booming voice. "1997 elite students from the ten major universities, along with three martial arts prodigies from Starfire University, will compete for 136 elimination spots."


    "The rules are as follows:"


    ...


    "Alright, that''s enough about the rules for the contenders to know," the burly host smiled. "For our audience here, you only need to know one thing."


    "In the cage melee, only the victor survives!"


    "This is the most brutal showdown, this is the most iron-willed trial," the burly man''s voice was filled with passion. "Only the strongest can survive to the end."


    "Now, I declare the second round ''cage melee'' of the freshman fight for the ten schools officially underway."


    Boom! Music blasted through the vast sky.


    The spectator platform, now exceeding 500,000 spectators within the battle space, erupted into thunderous cheers that were deafening.


    "It''s quite enthusiastic," Li Yuan couldn''t help but remark, experiencing such a large crowd for the first time.


    "Once it''s over ten thousand, it''s a sea of people," Gu Qiangh¨¤n laughed. "Brother Yuan, you should know, most of these spectators are from common Martial Arts University students; they''re essentially here for the excitement, and they''ll be happy as long as a student from their own country wins."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    The spectators all have their own allegiances; they hope someone from their own school wins.


    But for students from institutions like Jiangbei Martial University watching the competition? As long as a person from Xia Country wins, they''ll support them.


    Gradually, the shouting died down.


    "First match," the burly man''s voice suddenly burst forth like thunder, "Begin preparations."


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The students who had been watching on the stage had vanished in an instant, entering the ''Preparation Space''.


    Of course, the disappearance of 200 students was barely noticeable on a spectator platform holding over 500,000 people.


    Just 15 seconds later.


    Whoosh! Two hundred armed and armored contestants reappeared on the stage, all standing at the edge of the platform, forming a massive circle.


    At the same time, on the giant screen above the platform, names of 200 people appeared.


    Along with the ''Total Points Ranking''.


    The top 8 and top 136 were marked in special colors.


    The top 8 would go directly to the fourth round.


    Only the top 136 could enter the third round.


    ...


    All contestants appeared in an instant.


    Suddenly, cheers and shouts rose from the platform, from various schools, like waves.


    "Yang Hong!"


    "Yang Hong! Come on!" Some students from Kunlun Martial University burst out cheering.


    In the first match, Kunlun Martial had several dozen students participating, but the strongest among them was Yang Hong.


    However, there was no separate introduction for the contestants.


    So, no single student''s cries stood out specially, as countless voices echoed over the spectator platform, rather noisy.


    "Garava." Li Yuan glanced over and spotted the unassuming figure.


    Dark skin, over 1.7 meters tall, with ordinary features, very inconspicuous.


    Wielding a long spear.


    "Trouble for Yang Hong."


    "Not good." It wasn''t just Li Yuan who spotted Garava, many elite students from Kunlun Martial University recognized him too.


    Yang Hong himself noticed as well.


    ...


    The countdown of ten seconds on the stage quickly concluded.


    "Begin." The burly man roared and then flew high into the sky, not to interfere with the contestants'' battles.


    At the same time, the 200 contestants felt the restraints on them lifted.


    "Boom!" The melee in the cage erupted in an instant.


    As if by an unspoken agreement, whoosh, whoosh, the more than ten contestants around Garava dashed away like shadows, heading further into the distance.


    Like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, no one dared to engage Garava first.


    Any student who made it to the second round was no fool.


    Most people knew who the top few experts were.


    Boom!


    The dark-skinned youth seemed to have anticipated this, his figure flashing like lightning, and he rushed towards the area with the most people.


    "Pff!" "Pff!" The spear shadow shifted, and instantly, one powerful opponent after another fell.


    "Avoiding battle?"


    "My goal is to take the first place in points for the second round," Garava thought thoroughly, his gaze calm, "The powerful fighters from Xia Country aren''t here, no one will be my match."


    "Wipe them out!"


    A group attack? Over a hundred people working together might actually get swept away by him alone.


    The intense melee ensued.


    And Garava''s points quickly soared, shooting straight to ''first place in total points,'' and far surpassing the second place.


    "Garava!"


    "Garava!" This scene made the over hundred thousand students from Tianzhu Country on the spectator platform completely erupt with unprecedented cheers, instantly drowning out all other voices on the platform.


    Garava''s performance was too dominant.


    At the same time, his acts were also being spammed by countless Tianzhu students on the spectator screen.


    "The strongest in Tianzhu!"


    "Garava is the strongest!" S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "We Tianzhu are the true number one! Beat the people of Xia Country! Take first!"


    "Garava!" Countless comments rolled on, obviously, the Tianzhu students were extremely excited at this moment.


    ...


    In the first match, Garava undoubtedly survived till the end.


    The fiercest battle took place between him and Yang Hong.


    But the so-called fiercest battle ended in less than ten moves, and Yang Hong was killed.


    In the end, Garava 52 points! Temporarily ranked first in total points!


    Yang Hong 14 points, temporarily ranked second in total points.


    The majority of the contestants scored zero.


    ...


    In the second match, there was no exceptionally powerful contestant who could completely dominate; the most dazzling was Kimura Tatsuo from Sakura Country, who also wielded a long spear.


    He ended up with 31 points, temporarily second in total points.


    The spectator platform holding tens of thousands of people instantly erupted with cheers from the tens of thousands of students from Sakura Country.


    "Kimura-kun!"


    "Kimura is amazing, I think he is not weaker than Garava in the first match, he might be the strongest."


    "The strongest Kimura."


    "Kimura-kun will surely take the final first place." A large number of comments scrolled on the spectator screen.


    ...


    In the third match, as the burly man host announced ''begin.''


    Two hundred contestants had already appeared on the platform from the preparation space.


    Instantly, the hundreds of thousands of spectators all looked over.


    "Big Brother."


    "Where is Li Yuan?"


    "Hm? Why can''t I see Big Brother!" Thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University searched for Li Yuan''s figure.


    But they couldn''t spot him instantly.


    "Damn! Big Brother is wearing a mask, trying to hide from others? Big Brother is so cunning."


    "Not just Li Yuan, others from the school have worn them too."


    "This seems to be An Nong''s idea just now, who urgently contacted other institutes'' participants for the third match."


    "Without any name reminders and with dozens of people wearing masks, students from other schools won''t recognize Big Brother in a short time."


    "An Nong 666!"


    "The battle has begun."

 Chapter 157: 133: King of the Melee (Extra added for Golden Alliances 600,000th anniversary)

    Students from various Martial Arts Universities around the world who want to watch the battle must enter the Spectator Platform within the combat space.


    However, teachers and deans from famous schools can overlook from a higher level area, which is very quiet and comfortable.


    The only catch is that their Spectator Platform cannot be seen by the students.


    "Li Yuan is up," Dean Xu said with a smile, pointing at Li Yuan on the stage. "They even put on a mask."


    "Always full of tricks," Li Yang chuckled. "It must have been a last-minute idea after seeing others avoid Garava in the first round."


    "That Li Yuan boy has always been smart," the portly elder ''Dean Qin'' chuckled as he joined in.


    The three vice-deans spoke amiably among themselves.


    "Isn''t this precisely a sign of lacking confidence? If one is truly strong, why resort to these petty tricks?" Suddenly, a grating voice came from the side.


    Three deans turned to look in anger simultaneously.


    Who was this foolhardy person?


    "And who do we have here, if not Morita Daiku," Li Yang recognized the person and sneered. "Last year you were skulking about, and now that Sakura Country has Kimura Tatsuo, you dare strut in front of me?"


    The short, fat, and muscular man who had just made the sarcastic comment glared back in response.


    "Ba Qiang''s student Garava emerged this year, yet you don''t see others bragging far and wide, let alone being as foul-mouthed as you," Li Yang continued unabashed. "If your mouth stinks, go wash it out."


    The virtual network has an automated translation system, so their words are directly translated.


    "President Li, long time no see," the black-robed elder ''Ba Qiang'' from Tianzhu smiled.


    Garava was his student.


    "Long time no see."


    "You''ve always been low-profile, Ba Qiang," Li Yang grinned. "This year''s Garava is still formidable, maybe he could take the champion title. Unlike some, whose students lack strength but not their loudmouth."


    "Garava is still a bit behind Li Yuan," said Ba Qiang, the black-robed elder, modestly.


    He and Li Yang were well acquainted.


    Stung by Li Yang''s mockery, Morita Daiku, standing to the side, was seething, only to find he was being completely ignored by Li Yang.


    "Hmph."


    "Li Yuan? In the second round of the cage battle this afternoon, Kimura and Li Yuan happen to be in the same match. We''ll see who''s not up to snuff then," Morita Daiku said icily.


    In an instant,


    Not just Li Yang, Dean Xu, and Ba Qiang, but also teachers from other schools standing not far away were momentarily taken aback.


    Dozens of teachers all fell into a brief silence.


    "Cough cough," the black-robed elder Ba Qiang quietly asked, "Morita, weren''t you at school last month? Didn''t you get a detailed update on these students?"


    "Yes."


    "I went to Star Realm in July and just got back yesterday," Morita Daiku was not truly foolish and immediately sensed something was amiss. "What''s the matter? Is this Li Yuan really that impressive?"


    "Whether he''s impressive, I don''t know," the black-robed elder Ba Qiang shook his head. "All I know is, with Li Yang''s personality, Kimura Tatsuo is in for a tough time this afternoon."


    "Indeed."


    "The third match has started, see for yourself what Li Yuan is like," Ba Qiang advised ''kindly''.


    ...


    Within the combat space, the third match of the cage battle has already begun the final three-second countdown.


    "Fang Kui!"


    "Li Yuan!" On the spectator platform with hundreds of thousands of people, these two names were the most frequently and loudly called out.


    Especially "Li Yuan," not only the students from Kunlun Martial University but even many students from ordinary Martial Arts Universities of Xia Country were shouting it out.


    A good number were students from Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    On the stage, 200 participants from different schools and countries, listening to the roaring cheers around them, all felt a sense of pride involuntarily stir within their hearts.


    Such competitions are not only for themselves but also for the glory of their schools and their countries.


    The countdown ended.


    The shackles on all participants dissipated at the same moment.


    "Boom!" "Boom!" Almost simultaneously, all 200 participants sprang into action.


    Most of them immediately dodged like lightning away from the few masked participants wielding long spears.


    No one was foolish.


    All these participants were the elite, and even if they hadn''t seen Li Yuan before, most had been briefed on some of his information by their schools.


    Knowing the terrifying strength of the opponent, he was definitely of the calibre contending for the championship.


    But now no one could pinpoint where he was.


    Thus, there was only one possibility¡ªthey must be one of the several masked ones.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" Even though many had dodged immediately, the chaos of battle was unavoidable.


    No one could stay out of it, after all, how large was the stage?


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan, masked and wielding a long spear, flashed in front of one of the participants, his long spear moving like lightning as he thrust straight forward.


    "Not good," the face of this participant changed, just as he was about to raise his hand to block.


    "Thud!"


    The long spear had already slashed across his throat, blood splattered, and his body instantly turned into nothingness.


    "Whoosh!"


    The spear swept back and arced through the air, blocking the fiercely slashing saber.


    "Bang~" With a terrible clash, Li Yuan''s spear shaft twisted like a dragon turning over, already bypassing the opponent''s long saber, accompanied by a flash of cold light.


    The spear tip pierced straight through the opponent''s throat.


    Dead!


    "2 points in the bag," Li Yuan was notified and his gaze swept over the participants nearby who were changing color.


    "Is he Li Yuan?"


    "Definitely!"


    "It shows Li Yuan with 2 points, and he just got two points."


    "Two moves to kill two people? That''s too savage," the participants were all shocked in their hearts.


    Those who made it to the second round should all be the elite of the Martial Path schools.


    But facing this terrifyingly skilled masked participant suspected to be Li Yuan, they were powerless to fight back.


    "An Nong''s method is indeed somewhat effective," Li Yuan mused inwardly.


    Although these participants would still try to dodge, initially there were four suspects, so everyone only had a one-in-four chance of avoiding him.


    It wouldn''t be like the first match where, before the brawl even started, everyone was staying away from Garava.


    That way, it would be much harder for Garava to ''score points.''


    "Run quickly."


    "This one is definitely Li Yuan," the participants near Li Yuan realized in horror and were eager to get away.


    The data showed that Li Yuan was strong, but it wasn''t until they actually saw him in action that they realized he was even stronger than his profile suggested.


    However, these participants didn''t avoid him at the start, and now the entire arena was in a melee.


    Where could they flee to?


    Besides, although all the participants had simulated physical qualities that were the same, Li Yuan''s burst speed was a whole lot stronger.


    "Thud! Thud! Thud!" One by one, participants fell beneath Li Yuan''s long spear.


    One spear, one kill!


    Li Yuan''s points were skyrocketing, quickly breaking through 30 points.


    The number of people on the stage was rapidly diminishing.


    And in reality?


    Li Yuan hadn''t even used his Stellar Spear Technique, just relying on his superior skills to constantly reap these participants.


    "Stellar Spear Technique?"


    "Not many can force me to use the Stellar Spear Technique," Li Yuan thought calmly.


    Scoring points was merely to surge into the fourth round in one go, to avoid the time-wasting elimination matches.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan''s eyes flickered, suddenly shifting towards the distance.


    Dozens of meters away, a burly young man wielding two battle axes was frantically pursuing two masked participants.


    Those wearing masks were all students from Kunlun Martial University.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure moved instantly as he charged over.


    ... "Go to hell."


    The burly ''Fang Kui,'' holding two battle axes, frenziedly chased after the two masked participants before him.


    As one of the top three martial arts talents from Lion City Martial Arts University, Fang Kui had extremely sharp skills, and with his twin battle axes, he had killed more than ten participants in a very short time.


    He was the second most powerful contestant on this platform, just after Li Yuan.


    "Thud!"


    One axe swept past, knocking the combat saber out of one Kunlun student''s grip, and the student''s body disappeared in mid-air.


    Another axe swung down, trying to eliminate another Kunlun student.


    "Clang!"


    A long spear struck like lightning, blocking the deadly swing of the axe.


    ...


    On the spectator platform.


    Upon witnessing the direct encounter between Li Yuan and Fang Kui, hundreds of thousands of excited students stood up shouting at once.


    The vast majority of the spectators didn''t know who Li Yuan and Fang Kui were or their achievements before the match. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But everyone could tell that these two were the strongest in this chaotic cage battle.


    Their confrontation was naturally the climax of this mixed fight.


    Even the big screen on the stage turned its head, focusing on them immediately.


    "Fang Kui."


    "Fang Kui, beat him."


    "Fang Kui, you''re the strongest," more than a hundred thousand students from ASEAN went mad at this moment.


    Lion City Martial Arts University is the premier martial arts university for a population of a billion in ASEAN.


    "Defeat Li Yuan."


    "I love Fang Kui," countless messages rolled on the spectator screen as well.


    ... But the ASEAN students'' cheers lasted less than two seconds.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Li Yuan!" More than 200,000 students from Xia Country on the spectator platform became excited, roaring so loud that it drowned out the ASEAN students'' voices.


    Nearly half of the spectators on the platform were from Xia Country, so naturally their momentum was stronger.


    Besides.


    In the eyes of countless students from Xia Country, that scene where Li Yuan saved his schoolmate with a single spear thrust was too cool.


    ...


    In the chaotic arena, the other participants all quickly steered clear of Li Yuan and Fang Kui.


    Them facing off early was a blessing for the rest.


    "Li Yuan? You''re stopping me?" Fang Kui, holding his battle axes, stared intently at Li Yuan, "You might be stronger than me, but if you focus on me, you''ll just waste time..."


    Fang Kui was aware of Li Yuan''s strength and didn''t want to confront him just yet; he hadn''t accumulated enough points.


    Moreover, he had just witnessed the scene of Li Yuan killing enemies and believed he could hold off for a while longer.


    "Noise."


    Li Yuan''s voice was ice-cold as vigor burst forth from his whole body.


    Li Yuan had seen Fang Kui''s profile; he had advanced to the Fourth Level of skill right after college entrance exams ended.


    The skills were decent, but not something Li Yuan took seriously.


    "Whoosh!"


    The high-rank Fourth Level skill, which had almost perfectly exploited the potential of the body, combined with the strongest burst-speed move of the five Stellar Spear Technique killer moves¡ªDawn Piercing the Clouds.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan fully erupted.


    "Hmm? Not right! He was hiding his strength just now?" Fang Kui immediately sensed something was wrong, his heart tightened instantly, feeling Li Yuan''s aura had completely changed.


    It was as if he became a mini star exploding, his long spear swept in, forcing Fang Kui to hurriedly swing his battle axes to defend.


    "Boom!"


    As Fang Kui raised his axes, the spear had already struck, clashing with his weapon momentarily; he felt a terrifying force transmitted through his axes, and was blasted backward.


    His arms went numb, and the axes almost slipped from his hands.


    The spear was too quick! Too fierce!


    "Boom!"


    Another terrifying spear light passed through the vast sky; the spear light was brilliant, like a giant star rolling through the sky, crushing everything, heavily landing on Fang Kui''s axes. His entire arm directly caved in and broke, blood splattering.


    "Bang~" The metal spear shaft, with its terrifying impact force, continued to heavily land on his body.


    "Ah!" Fang Kui''s whole body crashed to the ground, already severely injured.


    "Thud~" The spear pulled back, the tip smoothly cutting across his neck, blood spilling.


    Fang Kui''s body instantly turned into nothingness.


    Dead!


    "You''re delaying my time?" Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Three spears, including the time you blabbered, a total of eight seconds, indeed you''ve delayed me a bit."

 Chapter 158: 134: Total Point Rankings (Extra added for Golden Alliances 600,000th anniversary)

    Upon witnessing this scene,


    the several hundred thousand spectators on the spectator platform were all stunned and shocked.


    Fang Kui, who had previously performed so fiercely, was beaten down by Li Yuan with just two or three thrusts of his spear.


    But after a moment of stunned silence, the spectator platform erupted with deafening cheers.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Li Yuan!" Nearly three hundred thousand students from various Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country shouted out in a tsunami of voices that echoed in the entire combat space.


    So domineering!


    Fang Kui? The top genius from Sicheng Martial Arts University? He still got swept away easily by Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Big brother," the several thousand students gathered from Kunlun Martial University were completely boiling with excitement.


    "Li Yuan," even Sister Qiu Jing was waving her fists and shouting excitedly.


    For a moment, the voices of students from other countries and schools were completely drowned out by the cheers of Xia Country students.


    There''s no helping it!


    In this kind of Martial Path duel arena, everything speaks through strength.


    Just like during the first match, when Garava''s strong outbreak made the over one hundred thousand students from Tianzhu Country excited.


    Now, in this third match, Li Yuan''s display was even more fierce and domineering than Garava''s.


    The true king of the arena.


    ...


    In another spectator space, over a hundred elderly Prime Warriors from various schools kept their eyes glued to the clash on the platform.


    When they saw Li Yuan defeat Fang Kui with two thrusts, these teachers couldn''t help but let out exclamations of amazement.


    "Excellent spear technique!"


    "Fourth Level high-rank, executing Stellar Spear Technique moves, truly fluent."


    "He must have broken through quite a while ago."


    "Worthy of being the number one freshman from Kunlun Martial University, impressive!!" These teachers, with their exceptional eyesight, praised one after another.


    "Morita, now you know about this Li Yuan," said the robed elder Ba Qiang with a chuckle, patting Morita Daiku on the shoulder: "Better advise Kimura Tatsuo to steer clear this afternoon."


    Morita Daiku frowned, glancing subconsciously towards Li Yang and Dean Xu not far away.


    He happened to see Li Yang looking at him, a trace of ridicule and provocation on his face.


    "Damn it," Morita Daiku cursed under his breath, feeling a headache coming on.


    Of course, he understood, trouble was brewing.


    Li Yang''s character seemed gentle, but that was towards his younger peers.


    Towards many strong people of his own generation, Li Yang was famous for holding grudges.


    If this afternoon, Li Yuan really targets Kimura Tatsuo, it''s more likely to go badly.


    However,


    Backing down? Morita Daiku didn''t have this habit.


    "Hmph! With the points Kimura has accumulated, it''s not difficult for him to get into the top 136. Just consider it a kind of tempering," Morita Daiku thought to himself.


    Anyway, it isn''t he who''s getting hit! What''s there to fear!


    ...


    On the platform, after slaying Fang Kui in a single encounter,


    Boom! Li Yuan sprang into action, continuing to slay the other contestants on the platform.


    "Delayed by eight seconds, I should have been able to get two or three points. Lost two points," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Fang Kui? From the very beginning, Li Yuan had never taken him seriously.


    A cage battle royale, in Li Yuan''s eyes, posed no difficulty.


    The only difference was the overall points ranking. Li Yuan aimed for the top spot.


    Boom! Spear lights danced as all the people on the platform recognized him, Li Yuan simply took off his mask.


    He charged into the crowd like a whirlwind,


    once again stirring up a bloody storm.


    Li Yuan''s points kept rising, his overall ranking climbing rapidly, quickly closing in on Garava.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan didn''t specifically help fellow Kunlun Martial University students, but he did clean out students from other schools first.


    After a good two minutes,


    only Li Yuan and seven other students from Kunlun Martial University remained on the platform.


    They all looked at Li Yuan.


    "What''s the hesitation?" said Li Yuan seriously, "In a cage battle royale, the victor stands alone.


    "I''ll give you all a chance, come at me together."


    The seven Kunlun Martial University students exchanged glances.


    After only a second''s hesitation, they all charged at Li Yuan with howls.


    Thirty seconds later, only Li Yuan stood alone on the entire platform.


    "Not bad, the bluster worked, got the last seven points," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Finally in first place."


    Killing one nets 1 point!


    Surviving till the end gets an extra 10 points.


    If those seven Kunlun Martial University students had fought each other just now, Li Yuan would have lost at least two points.


    Thus, the third cage battle royale ended.


    Li Yuan stood at the top with ''74 points''.


    It could be said, nearly one-third of the participants on the platform were slain by Li Yuan.


    How fierce.


    ...


    As Li Yuan disappeared from the platform, the entire spectator platform once again erupted with an unprecedentedly fervent roar.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "First place! Take the championship!"


    "Li Yuan," the several hundred thousand students from Xia Country shouted excitedly.


    At that moment, students from all the Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country all remembered the name ''Li Yuan.''


    ..."This Li Yuan, so strong."


    "Indeed, fierce."


    "Kunlun Martial University, truly deserving of being Xia Country''s number one Martial Arts University," students from other countries'' Martial Arts Universities were also discussing.


    "This afternoon, it seems like Kimura will be facing Li Yuan."


    "What?"


    "Kimura and Li Yuan? Can Kimura win?"


    "It''s doubtful!"


    "Nonsense, Kimura is the strongest, he will definitely defeat this man from Xia Country," tens of thousands of students from Sakura Country were the most worried.


    According to the schedule, in this afternoon''s second round of the cage battle royale, Li Yuan would be up against Kimura Tatsuo.


    ...


    "Li Yuan? Just as teacher said, he will be one of the biggest obstacles to reaching the top four," Garava''s eyes were filled with seriousness: "His battle against Fang Kui, that couldn''t have been his full strength."


    "Hopefully."


    "This afternoon, hopefully, Kimura Tatsuo can push him to reveal his true strength," Garava thought to himself.


    ...


    "This afternoon, I''ll be facing Li Yuan?" Kimura Tatsuo thought to himself.


    At the same time, he was browsing the comments on the spectator screen, his brows slightly furrowed, "They all say I''m no match for Li Yuan?"


    "Hmph!"


    "Just by defeating a Fang Kui, all these people from Xia Country have gained so much confidence?" Kimura Tatsuo braced himself, "Believe in yourself."


    "I am the strongest."


    ...


    "Li Yuan, impressive." In a nondescript area of the Jiangbei Martial Arts University''s Spectator Space, L¨« Tianyou revealed a slight smile.


    He was pleased for Li Yuan.


    ...


    A nondescript area in the Spectator Platform.


    Two girls in casual clothes were sitting here.


    "Sis, Li Yuan is really much more formidable now." Wu Dongdong, who had her hair tied in a ponytail, exclaimed, "During the Jiangbei invitation event, I thought I could beat him, but now? Definitely not his match anymore."


    Lin Lanyue smiled slightly, "Keep it up, he''s just a step ahead."


    "What do you mean ''just a step ahead''?"


    Wu Dongdong corrected her, "He''s gone from being two steps behind me to two steps ahead! The teacher said he might reach Subtlety before his sophomore year."


    Lin Lanyue just smiled without replying.


    "Ah, Sis, take a quick look," Wu Dongdong suddenly said with a smirk, pointing at the Spectator Screen.


    Lin Lanyue looked over.


    "Li Yuan is so cool."


    "I wonder if Li Yuan has a girlfriend."


    "So handsome! Why don''t we have such handsome guys at our East Sea Martial University?"


    "Li Yuan 666." A vast number of barrage comments were rolling across the screen.


    "Dongdong, I won''t watch the remaining matches," Lin Lanyue said with a smile, "I''m going to train."


    "Yue Yue sis, stop grinding, take a break for a day," Wu Dongdong exclaimed with wide eyes, "Watching the matches is so much better."


    "I''ll come back for Li Yuan''s match in the 17th fight this afternoon," Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    Without a sound, Lin Lanyue''s figure disappeared from the spectators'' seats.


    ...


    In another inconspicuous area of the Spectator Platform.


    "This Li Yuan."


    "So fierce!"


    "I feel he''s much fiercer than Tian Dazhuang, the sense of pressure Garava gave me doesn''t seem as strong as his." Guan Ying and Yu Ming exchanged glances, their eyes filled with seriousness.


    The records only showed that Li Yuan had reached the Bright Moon Stage, but how strong exactly?


    It required real combat to analyze.


    One look, and Guan Ying and Yu Ming understood that the opponent was indeed not easy to handle.


    "And Dantai Feng?" Yu Ming wondered out loud.


    "His battle rounds are 10 and 12," Guan Ying shook his head, "He''ll come later."


    "He''s not watching Li Yuan and Garava fight?" Yu Ming widened his eyes in surprise.


    "He said it was pointless," Guan Ying spread his hands, "And he told me, only the weak seek information."


    "This pretentious sicko! Can''t he live without boasting?" Yu Ming ground his teeth.


    ...


    At Starfire University, in a villa, in the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Li Yuan''s Spear Technique is indeed sharp." The young man in black watched the battle scene on the screen intently.


    Dantai Feng was repeatedly watching the battle between Li Yuan and Fang Kui.


    "Yu Ming, those two idiots."


    "Probably don''t know I have the privilege to project and watch the battles," Dantai Feng closed his eyes and pondered silently.


    Show off? He indeed liked to show off, but he wasn''t blindly arrogant.


    ...


    After finishing the fight, Li Yuan didn''t exit the virtual network but returned to the Spectator Platform.


    "Senior Brother."


    "Li Yuan." Hundreds of students from Kunlun Martial University around him got excited at once.


    "Quiet, everyone quiet down and watch the upcoming matches," Li Yuan said with a smile, gesturing with his hand.


    The area in the Spectator Space finally fell silent.


    As time passed, one after another, the cage battles proceeded rapidly, and one after another, the Fourth Level experts erupted.


    In the fourth match, the most dazzling was a freshman girl from the Capital Martial Arts University named ''Shi Ruo,'' but like Kimura Tatsuo, she did not possess the power to dominate the entire arena.


    In the fifth match, the first wildcard entrant ''Yu Ming'' made his debut.


    Similar to Li Yuan, he demonstrated dominating strength, almost sweeping the arena and finally scoring 51 points.


    In the sixth match, the second wildcard entrant ''Guan Ying'' appeared, ultimately scoring 47 points.


    The seventh match...


    ...


    The tenth cage battle, the last one of the morning session.


    At this moment, the number of spectators had exceeded 600,000, even more than last year.


    In the limelight, the last wildcard entrant ''Dantai Feng'' finally made his appearance.


    "Dantai Feng." Li Yuan sat in the spectator seats, his gaze fixed on the figure clad in black.


    At that moment, not just Li Yuan.


    Each of the Fourth Level experts from the ten famous universities were staring at that figure.


    All the elite students who had entered the battle knew that Dantai Feng was the biggest obstacle on their road to the championship.


    Even more so.


    In several areas of the Spectator Platform, some inconspicuous figures had appeared.


    They were elite students from Starfire University, Starry Sky University, and even Black Stone University, who had not participated in the ten-school freshman battle.


    But they all wanted to see for themselves what level of skill Starfire University''s top genius ''Dantai Feng'' possessed.


    The battle erupted swiftly.


    To everyone''s surprise, Dantai Feng''s weapon was not a sword and shield, but a pair of swords.


    This!


    It was the first time Dantai Feng showed the art of dual swords.


    On the platform.


    "Sword and shield?" Dantai Feng looked casually at the other contestants surrounding him and muttered to himself with a smirk, "Who is worthy of making me use a shield? Let''s end this boring battle quickly."


    The battle began.


    "Boom!" Dantai Feng exploded into action the instant the fight started; his form shifting dozens of meters at once, with his swords whipping through the sky.


    "Not good."


    "This sword technique." The participants along his path panicked, trying to wield their own weapons in defense.


    "Whoosh!"


    The long swords chopped down, swift as lightning, unstoppable! Contestants were sent sprawling to the ground one after another.


    Some had their heads flung off, others had their throats sliced open with a giant gash.


    Some were even cleaved face-on, sent flying, their armors nearly split open by the horrifying impact, leaving them coughing up blood, powerless to resist.


    In no time, the platform turned into a river of blood, becoming a solo performance by Dantai Feng.


    No one was his match in a single exchange. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Advanced Third Stage skills? Initial Fourth Stage skills? They seemed to make no difference before him.


    All were dispatched with a single strike!


    In the end, the tenth cage battle concluded, Dantai Feng alone scored 76 points, surpassing Li Yuan''s 74 points.


    A comeback to become the total score leader.


    "76 points should be enough to make it into the top eight," said Dantai Feng with a smirk, "I can skip the second cage battle this afternoon."


    His figure disappeared from the platform directly.

 Chapter 159: 135 Round 2 Match 17 (Celebrating 50,000 Averages)

    76 points!


    When this score appeared at the top of the points ranking screen in the combat space for the first time, the entire combat space fell silent for a moment.


    It was simply too strong.


    On the spectator platform, countless viewers, through the big screen, watched the enlarged ''fight replay''.


    The fierce blade light, the splattering blood, was enough to make any student''s heart tremble.


    "Dantai Feng!"


    "Dantai Feng!" Along with Dantai Feng''s departure, thunderous cheers erupted from the vast spectator platform, resounding in all directions.


    Even the excitement and shouting surpassed that of Li Yuan''s earlier score of 74 points.


    Yes, Li Yuan''s 74 points were strong, fierce, and domineering when he defeated Fang Kui.


    But the sense of oppression it brought felt less than that of Dantai Feng.


    Li Yuan''s score was far beyond everyone else''s except for Dantai Feng.


    However, there were some tricks to achieving such a high score.


    And Dantai Feng? Single-handedly wielding dual blades, the speed and the cunning sharpness of the combat saber lights were enough to chill the spine of any contender in the ring.


    ...


    "Too terrifying."


    "A master of Fourth Level skills, all killed by one straight slash? That''s too strong, what level is he at?"


    "I suspect he''s achieved Subtlety with his spirit. Facing us, it''s a pure downgrade beatdown."


    "Simply not on the same level." Many contestants who still yearned to break into the third round whispered among themselves, filled with shock.


    However, facing the outburst of Dantai Feng, those truly filled with dread were the likes of Li Yuan, Garava, Kimura Tatsuo, and Shi Ruo¡ªthese top geniuses aspiring to the top eight or even the top four.


    They were all silently recalling Dantai Feng''s sword technique, wondering whether they could withstand it if it were them.


    "Can''t withstand it."


    "Ten slashes, dual blades slicing together, I could probably only block ten at most," Kimura Tatsuo gritted his teeth: "I''m definitely not his match."


    Despair!


    An opponent too formidable to defeat.


    ...


    "His sword is too fast, its sudden burst speed far exceeding my spear technique." Garava clenched his fists, thinking to himself: "If I defend, I definitely won''t be able to hold off."


    "I must attack."


    "With attack against attack, using the advantage of my weapon, there is still hope of winning." Garava thought to himself: "But according to the intelligence, isn''t his best skill shield technique?"


    He believed, there was hope for victory.


    ... S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Such fast swords, the dual blade style."


    Li Yuan closed his eyes in contemplation: "The Flowing Light Sword Technique, known for its speed, judging by the fight videos Lanyue gave me... The speed of the Flowing Light Sword Technique is based on the ''instantaneous continuous force,'' its disadvantage is the insufficient explosive power."


    "Dual blades, further dispersing the body''s and arms'' force, making it difficult for each blade to unleash full power, unlikely to stop my Straight Thrust."


    Having watched the fight videos that Lin Lanyue sent him dozens of times, Li Yuan felt as if he had battled ''Dantai Feng'' many times.


    Experience immensely rich.


    "Does he really want to fight like this?"


    Li Yuan kept pondering and speculating until finally, he sharply opened his eyes: "Unless he has achieved Subtlety."


    "Otherwise, he is bound to lose without a doubt!"


    ...


    "Damn it, he''s showing off again." Yu Ming complained on the spectator platform.


    Beside him, Guan Ying laughed and said, "Upset? Then strive to reach the finals and defeat him."


    "Beating him is a joke," Yu Ming shook his head and said. "His Dual Blade Technique is designed for taking down the weak, allowing for faster, more efficient slaughter."


    "It also allows him to better hide his true strength, so others can''t gauge the level of his Shield Technique."


    "But even if he uses two swords, I''m still hard-pressed to win," Yu Ming sighed. "Come the knockout rounds, he''ll definitely use the sword and shield combination."


    "I know this show-off all too well; he always seems casual and indifferent, but when it really matters, he''s incredibly cunning."


    ...


    In that special Spectator Space, many teachers watched Dantai Feng''s outburst with a sense of awe.


    "Dual blades like light, shadows that follow."


    "For a freshman to have cultivated the ''Starry Sky Sword Technique'' to such a level, he''s only a step away from grasping the essence of ''Starry Light''."


    "Truly worthy of being a top-tier talent at Starfire University," these teachers remarked with sighs of admiration.


    A Second Rank Secret Manual''s ultimate level is to grasp the essence, and once grasped, it''s an entrance into Subtlety.


    But these freshmen have only been in school for a few months, and many are not even 19 yet.


    Such talent is too exaggerated.


    However, top-level Martial Path talents like these, globally, only a few emerge each year.


    "For this cage melee where all students have participated, who do you all think will get first place?" one teacher asked with a smile.


    "Dantai Feng, I think. I have high hopes for him."


    "Dantai Feng is most likely, the others... Li Yuan has a slim chance."


    "Li Yuan? I feel Yu Ming and the others are about on par with Li Yuan."


    Many teachers spoke up, each with their own opinion.


    But without a doubt, the majority acknowledged Dantai Feng''s prowess.


    Firstly, Dantai Feng has indeed exhibited extraordinary strength.


    Secondly, the reputation of being a top genius at Starfire University makes him more convincing.


    ...


    The morning''s ten rounds of cage melees came to an end, and the ten afternoon matches wouldn''t start until two o''clock.


    Everyone''s second round of opponents.


    Would all be as different as possible.


    The reason for two rounds of cage melees is to ensure fairness.


    The combined Points from both rounds of the cage melees will be the ''total score'' for the second round.


    Li Yuan logged out of the virtual network.


    "All ten matches are over, and it''s just past ten o''clock," Li Yuan glanced at the time displayed on his smart ring.


    "There are more than three hours until the afternoon match."


    "Let''s continue training with the spear," Li Yuan said as he entered the underground Martial Arts Room and took out his Long Spear.


    He silently practiced.


    "Dual blades are easy to break!" The Long Spear in Li Yuan''s hand moved like a swimming dragon, drawing dazzling arcs of light.


    "But according to what Da Zhuang said, as well as the video materials Lanyue sent,"


    "Dantai Feng is studying both Second Rank Secret Manuals, the Starry Sky Sword Technique and the Vajra Shield Technique at the same time," Li Yuan mused. "Combining the sword and shield makes him very tough to handle."


    A single sword against a spear would undoubtedly put the sword at a disadvantage.


    But when sword and shield work together, facing a Long Spear, it boils down to who has the higher skill level.


    Whir! Whir! Whir!


    The spear rolled like a ground dragon, bursting with sharp, powerful sounds. This First Rank superior Long Spear, nearly a hundred kilograms in weight, seemed to come alive in Li Yuan''s hands.


    He repeated his practice time after time.


    Beating Dantai Feng? Li Yuan wasn''t completely confident, but what he could do was to improve himself, striving to make his own strength greater.


    He gave it his all.


    No regrets in the outcome.


    ...For over three hours, except for a ten-minute break for a meal, Li Yuan had been wholeheartedly devoted to his practice.


    It was almost two o''clock in the afternoon.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has risen from 79% of the Fourth Level to 80% of the Fourth Level] a notification suddenly flashed across the Divine Palace panel.


    "80%?" Li Yuan glanced at it.


    It happened just as he was swimming in countless epiphanies after having comprehended the five star moves.


    Therefore, Li Yuan had been making rapid progress in both spear and fist techniques over these past few days.


    Suddenly.


    "Beep~" The smart wristband vibrated, and Li Yuan looked down to see a V-message from Li Yang.


    "In this afternoon''s match, do not let Kimura Tatsuo score," the message from Li Yang was simple.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Okay!"


    Li Yuan was somewhat curious, however.


    What''s with Teacher Li, having such a bias against Kimura Tatsuo?


    "Since teacher has given the instruction," Li Yuan thought for a moment, "then I should handle it well."


    ...


    At two in the afternoon, Li Yuan entered the Starry Skies Fighting Network through the virtual network.


    He arrived in the combat space, instantly appearing in the spectator seats.


    At this moment, with only ten minutes left until the 11th cage melee, the spectator stands were already packed, definitely more than 300,000 people.


    "Brother Yuan, good luck, strive to take first place in total points," Gu Qianghan said with a smile.


    "Big Brother, we have no hope left."


    "It''s all on Big Brother now," the other students also cheered him on.


    Although only half of the cage melees had passed, most of the new students from the Sixth Institute who had made it to the second round now had zero points.


    They knew their limits.


    The nearly 95% elimination rate from the second to the third round was shockingly high, which meant that most would inevitably be stopped in the second round.


    Not long after, with the appearance of the burly host, the afternoon''s ''cage melee'' officially started.


    And the number of people on the spectator platform kept soaring, from over 300,000 to swiftly exceeding 500,000.


    "The cage melee, the eleventh fight, begins," the host roared.


    In this match, Li Mingyue from South Sea Martial University shone brightly, securing 26 points for herself.


    Her total score for the two rounds was also 26 points.


    She couldn''t help it.


    She faced Dantai Feng in the first round and before she could defeat any opponent, she was slain by a single slash from Dantai Feng.


    ...The twelfth fight met with widespread attention, and numerous spectators, including Li Yuan, were filled with anticipation.


    Because, according to the previous list, Dantai Feng was supposed to compete.


    Unfortunately, this anticipation lasted for only 30 seconds, and then the entire spectator platform exploded.


    Dantai Feng, did not appear!


    Quickly, the giant screen above the stage displayed Dantai Feng''s name, also marking ''Forfeited the second round cage melee.''


    "Forfeited?"


    "Is he that confident?" The elite geniuses from various schools all found it somewhat unbelievable.


    However, subconsciously seeing Dantai Feng''s score, they also felt somewhat relieved.


    76 points!


    That score was formidable.


    Many top experts, when adding their scores across both rounds, were unlikely to reach this level.


    "Damn! Showing off without an end, huh?" Yu Ming muttered under his breath, "To actually dare to forfeit? Just wait, sooner or later he''ll capsize in the gutter."


    "Say something positive," Guan Ying said helplessly.


    ...


    "He actually forfeited?" Li Yuan was a bit stunned, then shook his head, "What a pity."


    Even though Lin Lanyue had sent him combat videos, the effects of practicing the same secret manual differed with each individual.


    If he could watch the opponent''s battle directly, he could gain the most.


    ...


    Time passed.


    One cage melee after another took place, with He Liancheng, Li Jiao, Fang Kui... those students who had not fully erupted in the first round were now shining in the second round cage melee.


    This also led to continuous changes in the total points ranking.


    Of course.


    For top talents like Yu Ming, Guan Ying, and Garava, even though their strengths were fully exposed and other combatants were extremely wary of them,


    With their absolutely strong capabilities, as long as they exerted force, they could at least secure 30+ points.


    Before long.


    The seventeenth cage melee was about to begin.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan and the other 199 participants spread across the spectator platform.


    Suddenly vanished from the spectator seats.


    In this moment, the tens of thousands of students on the spectator platform of the whole combat space were noticeably more excited.


    The majority knew.


    The biggest highlight of the second round cage melee was about to begin.


    ...


    Whoosh! The two hundred participants, clad in armor and wielding weapons, appeared together on the stage.


    After ten seconds, the battle began.


    "Move quickly."


    "It''s Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo."


    "Don''t engage them."


    "Let''s go for it," a large group of participants, like a tide, rushed towards a far-off place, and then began to fight desperately among themselves.


    Rather than being harvested en masse by Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo, it was better to seize the time to fight fiercely.


    This was the thought of the vast majority of the participants.


    "Kill!" Holding a long spear, Kimura Tatsuo was about to charge into the crowd to battle.


    Boom!


    A figure had already dashed in front of him, also wielding a long spear, blocking his path.


    "Li Yuan?" Kimura Tatsuo was slightly startled.


    In this cage melee fight, the last person he wanted to encounter was Li Yuan.


    However, Kimura Tatsuo never imagined that the opponent would find him first thing.


    "Li Yuan, what''s the meaning of this?" Kimura Tatsuo looked at Li Yuan with considerable wariness.


    "No special meaning,"


    "Just that killing others doesn''t pose much of a challenge, and I wanted to see how strong you really are," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Before the words were finished.


    "Whoosh!" The long spear in Li Yuan''s hand, like a dragon, tore through the air, striking towards Kimura Tatsuo like lightning.

 Chapter 160: 136 Spear Technique Epiphany

    At the very onset of the battle, Li Yuan immediately intercepted Kimura Tatsuo, a scene that was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of spectators on the Spectator Platform.


    After all, the biggest highlight of the 17th cage melee was the showdown between Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo.


    "Quick."


    "Li Yuan goes straight for Kimura Tatsuo, are they going to clash head-on?"


    "Could it be a direct duel between the two?" The Spectator Platform erupted in excitement in an instant.


    Immediately, the giant broadcast screens suspended in the sky concurrently displayed the scene of Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo engaging in combat.


    ¡­"Eldest senior brother is really domineering."


    "Heading straight for the strongest."


    "With the strength of our eldest senior brother, defeating this Kimura should be a piece of cake," the students of Kunlun Martial University also erupted, their eyes wide open and fixed on the scene.


    ¡­


    "Li Yuan challenging Kimura is definitely a mistake."


    "Kimura is the strongest."


    "Kimura is the strongest Martial Path genius from our Sakura Country this time; he will surely aim for first place," a great number of students from Sakura Country were screaming like mad.


    They even kept sending barrage messages, engaging in ''friendly exchanges'' with students from Xia Country.


    They were few in number, but their fighting spirit was strong.


    "This won''t be easy."


    "Li Yuan''s Spear Technique is very fierce, it doesn''t feel much weaker than Dantai Feng''s; Kimura might not be able to win," a few of the Sakura Country students were quite rational.


    ¡­


    "Their showdown should be the peak confrontation of the second round."


    "Li Yuan is even more overbearing."


    "But Kimura Tatsuo is not weak either." The vast majority of spectating students were betting on Li Yuan.


    However, Kimura Tatsuo''s performance in the first round cage melee was also quite impressive.


    In this battle, who can win?


    ¡­


    "Li Yang." Morita Daiku, looking down at this scene from the teacher''s Spectator Space, glared at Li Yang.


    "It''s not my fault."


    "I just relayed what you said word for word to my student," Li Yang said innocently: "Then my student said he must ask Kimura Tatsuo for some advice, to learn from a master."


    "Hahaha!" Dozens of teachers from various schools couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Just wait."


    "Li Yang, don''t be so smug," Morita Daiku said through gritted teeth: "Who wins and who loses isn''t set in stone yet."


    "Mm-hmm, you''re absolutely right," Li Yang said with a smile: "Look, they''re starting to exchange blows."


    ¡­


    Li Yuan''s actions had drawn attention from all sides, but he himself lacked such awareness.


    Li Yuan only knew that since the teacher had given an order, he had to try his best to accomplish the mission.


    "Clang~"


    The two Long Spears had already collided, and following Kimura Tatsuo''s spear movement, he was attempting to redirect the power of Li Yuan''s spear to one side.


    "What a cunning use of force," Li Yuan''s eyes shined slightly, and as soon as they engaged, he felt the difference between his own Spear Technique and that of Kimura Tatsuo.


    His own spear strikes were powerful and heavy, and his defense was as steady as a mountain.


    In one word, heavy.


    But Kimura Tatsuo''s Spear Technique was all about the word ''entangle'', assaults unfurling one after the other, continuous and seemingly endless.


    "I should spar for a bit longer; it''s rare to experience such Spear Technique," Li Yuan''s thought process immediately changed.


    He originally wanted to end the battle quickly, but Kimura Tatsuo''s Spear Technique had given him many insights.


    He wanted to try it out a little longer.


    As for the total Points ranking? Dantai Feng''s forfeiture a while ago made Li Yuan calm down a lot; does first place in the second round Points matter?


    Just making it to the top eight to enter the fourth round directly would suffice.


    With the Points Li Yuan had obtained in the first round, as long as he survived till the end of the second round, it was almost certain he would step firmly into the top eight.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang! Clang!"


    Li Yuan''s Long Spear danced like a writhing serpent, numerous Spear Lights bursting forth, as he directly displayed ''Stellar Illumination'', momentarily forming a huge circle around him.


    The stars formed a sphere! The spear tip drew a circle!


    Time and time again, he fended off Kimura Tatsuo''s spear assaults, no matter how furiously he attacked Li Yuan, with flashes of Spear Light unable to shake Li Yuan''s Defense.


    "As solid as a mountain, the Long Spear is like a circle," Kimura Tatsuo finally realized the terrifying aspect of Li Yuan.


    An impenetrable Defense.


    No matter if he thrust, swept, or furiously chopped, Li Yuan would easily block and deftly dissipate the force, even countering in the process.


    "Boom~"


    Li Yuan''s occasional retaliatory spear thrust made Kimura Tatsuo feel incredibly uncomfortable, desperately blocking them.


    "His skill, his exploitation of physical strength, far exceeds mine," Kimura Tatsuo eventually understood, being a Fourth Level Intermediate Rank expert.


    Li Yuan was simply using him as a whetstone.


    "Are all the people from Xia Country this strong?"


    "That Dantai Feng was despairingly strong, and this Li Yuan also turns out to be so powerful?" Kimura Tatsuo felt a hint of powerlessness.


    But immediately, his eyes also flashed with ferocity: "I''m going all out, I just can''t believe it."


    "Using me as a whetstone?"


    "Be careful not to chip your blade, or you might end up being my whetstone," Kimura Tatsuo also went berserk, attacking Li Yuan with all his might.


    He was well aware that with his first-round score, it was enough to storm into the top 136.


    The top eight? With Li Yuan standing in the way, there was no hope.


    So he decided to fight with all his might to defeat Li Yuan.


    "Boom! Boom!!" The two engaged in a wildly frenetic offensive and defensive battle, with their Long Spears colliding fiercely over and over again, so intensely that the other combatants subconsciously avoided them.


    Their battle was too ferocious.


    Although all the participants had the same Physical Quality, both Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo, one nearing Fourth Level Perfection and the other nearing Fourth Level High Rank, unearthed far more strength from their bodies than the others.


    The power and speed of the spear''s dance hardly seemed to belong to a physical quality of 10.0 level.


    Time passed.


    The number of people on the platform kept decreasing, 180 people, 150 people, 120 people¡­ but Li Yuan was still fiercely battling it out with Kimura Tatsuo.


    Their fight


    also made the entire Spectator Platform boil over completely, with countless spectators shouting excitedly.


    "So fierce, this is what a master duel looks like."


    "Haha, of all the new student fights of the ten schools, this is the most intense one."


    "Li Yuan''s defense is impeccable, and Kimura Tatsuo is also attacking wildly," countless spectators discussed.


    "It shouldn''t be! With Li Yuan''s strength, he should be able to quickly resolve Kimura Tatsuo," many powerful individuals said, filled with doubts.


    Given the strength Li Yuan displayed in the first round, he should have easily crushed his opponent.


    ...


    "I told you, Kimura is the strongest, he even forced Li Yuan to go all out in defense."


    "Kimura is sure to win," spectators from Sakura Country constantly posted barrages of messages.


    Many viewers from Sakura Country lacked the insight and naturally assumed the attacker was stronger.


    Suddenly¡ª


    "Thump~" A muffled sound.


    Li Yuan, who had been on full defense, suddenly twisted his long spear, and in the instant, it flicked away Kimura Tatsuo''s long spear. The spearhead, like a dragon hiding in the deep sea of stars, suddenly burst forth with speed that soared to the extreme.


    It pierced Kimura Tatsuo in a flash of lightning, and that terrifying impact sent Kimura Tatsuo flying out forcefully.


    He slammed heavily to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth.


    "You!" Kimura Tatsuo struggled to hold onto his long spear, staring in disbelief at Li Yuan who had suddenly burst forth.


    "Thank you."


    "Without your spear technique, perhaps I wouldn''t have understood the key to my own so quickly." Li Yuan held the spear in his right hand and regrettably said, "It''s just a pity, your spear technique is not strong enough."


    If Kimura Tatsuo''s spear technique was fourth level high rank, Li Yuan believed his own gains would be greater.


    A pity Kimura Tatsuo wasn''t that strong.


    "If my spear technique were stronger, you might not have been able to hold out," Kimura Tatsuo gritted his teeth.


    "Is that so?"


    "I hope you can withstand my spear attack then," Li Yuan smiled and couldn''t be bothered to waste more words.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan moved again, his silver-colored long spear bursting forth like a silver streak, shooting straight towards Kimura Tatsuo with a whistling sound.


    "Ha!"


    With blood at the corner of his mouth, Kimura Tatsuo also let out a fierce shout, surging forward to try to block with his spinning long spear.


    "Thump~"


    The collision of spear shafts.


    Li Yuan''s long spear pressed down smoothly with the twist of his waist, generating even greater impact force, and directly knocked away Kimura Tatsuo''s long spear.


    "Not good," Kimura Tatsuo''s face changed drastically.


    Boom! A shadow of the spear followed close behind, rolling forward with bursting destructive power, and directly attacking him.


    Stellar Spear Technique fourth style¡ªMeteor Fall.


    Li Yuan''s set of moves changed too quickly, smoother than when he defeated Fang Kui in the first round. His spear technique''s speed was so fast Kimura Tatsuo couldn''t fully block it.


    He couldn''t even retract his long spear in time, only managing to lift his left hand instinctively to block.


    "Crack!" The sound of an arm breaking.


    The terrifying impact carried by the spear shaft sent Kimura Tatsuo flying backwards, while the spear tip followed by moving from top to bottom across his face.


    Before Kimura Tatsuo even hit the ground, he had already disappeared from the platform. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Defeated!


    With no sign of an outburst before, but once he did, he defeated Kimura Tatsuo in just a few moves.


    "Hm?"


    "Only just over seventy people left?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the entire platform, "That''s enough."


    "This fight with Kimura Tatsuo was as good as a long session of solitary contemplation for me," Li Yuan''s heart was filled with joy, "Less points is fine."


    That''s just how skill training is.


    Sometimes, diligent practice and prolonged meditation yield nothing, but occasionally, a single battle, or seeing a certain scene, can lead to an instant epiphany.


    "Better end this early so I can get back to practicing with my spear, I might just fully grasp it," he thought.


    Boom! Li Yuan moved swiftly, his spear dancing through the air and creating shadows that caused droplets of blood to fly, as one participant after another fell to the ground.


    His points skyrocketed.


    ...


    "He won!"


    "Li Yuan is awesome."


    "Li Yuan." The hundreds of thousands of students from Xia Country on the Spectator Platform all got excited, cheering and rooting for Li Yuan.


    First, he defeated Fang Kui, and then Kimura Tatsuo.


    The two battles had different opponents.


    But in either fight, once Li Yuan began his explosive attack, no one could withstand even a few moves.


    ...


    "He lost just like that?"


    "Li Yuan exploded with power, and Kimura couldn''t defend against even ten spears?"


    "The gap between Kimura and Li Yuan is that big?" The numerous students from Sakura Country who initially supported Kimura Tatsuo were dumbfounded, finding it hard to accept this scene.


    "Li Yuan''s spear technique is so powerful; he is the true spear prodigy."


    "It''s a pity such a talent like Li Yuan is not from our Sakura Country."


    "With Li Yuan''s strength, he''s definitely capable of clinching the championship."


    "It''s not that Kimura is weak, but that Li Yuan is too strong, absolutely flawless, simply a hexagonal warrior," swiftly, many students from Sakura Country began to flatter and support Li Yuan.


    They only pursue the strong.

 Chapter 161: 137: Your Goal is Second (Asking for Monthly Votes)

    On the stage, the 17th cage free-for-all battle ended just one minute later.


    Li Yuan killed the last opponent, survived until the end, and scored 31 points.


    It wasn''t that he didn''t try hard to fight in the last phase, but the time spent fighting Kimura Tatsuo was too consuming, and there weren''t enough people left... to support Li Yuan in scoring many more points.


    But even so.


    The points from the two rounds combined brought Li Yuan''s second-round total score to an impressive 105 points.


    This was already an exaggerated score.


    On the stage, only Li Yuan was left.


    "Temporarily in first place overall?" Li Yuan glanced at the total points ranking.


    The sizable point advantage from the first round, coupled with a good performance in the second, kept Li Yuan''s total score in the lead.


    Although there were still three cage free-for-all battles left.


    However, top contenders like Yu Ming, Guan Ying, and Garava had already finished competing in the previous rounds, and none of their two-round total scores had surpassed one hundred.


    So, in a sense, Li Yuan had almost secured the first place in the total score for the second round.


    "Let''s go."


    With a thought, Li Yuan disappeared from the stage; he didn''t return to the spectator platform but directly exited the virtual network.


    ...


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Li Yuan." The spectator platform once again erupted with the intense cheering of numerous onlookers.


    However, the freshmen from Kunlun Martial University were searching all over the spectator platform.


    "Where''s Li Yuan?" S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Where''s our senior brother?" They were all puzzled.


    Logically, after exiting the stage, one should return directly to their seat on the spectator platform.


    ...


    At Kunlun Martial Arts University, inside Li Yuan''s villa, in the underground martial arts room.


    Li Yuan had walked out of the resting room and took a weapon off the rack beside him.


    "Entangle, Continuous." In Li Yuan''s mind, the battle with Kimura Tatsuo was still fresh.


    Suddenly, the smart ring on his wrist vibrated continuously.


    At this time, a vibration meant an important person had sent a message; Li Yuan looked down.


    One was from Li Yang: "Well done."


    Another was from Lin Lanyue: "You''re in first place, keep it up."


    A smile unconsciously appeared on Li Yuan''s face as he replied to both messages.


    He turned off the smart ring and put it aside.


    Holding the spear, Li Yuan came to the center of the martial arts room, closed his eyes slightly, and held the long spear tightly with both arms, adopting the ''spear holding stance'' of the Stellar Spear Technique.


    "Stars like spheres, rolling powerfully." Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    During the recent battle, through the exchange with Kimura Tatsuo,


    That flash of insight enabled Li Yuan to re-examine his spear technique from a different angle.


    Kimura Tatsuo''s ''Continuous Spear'' seemed similar to Li Yuan''s ''Twelve Continuous Strikes.''


    But there was a fundamental difference.


    ''Twelve Continuous Strikes'' was about one spear surpassing another, where the momentum of the next spear would always be stronger than the previous one, focusing on ''accumulation.'' At its peak, it was like the gathering force of a great river, bound to burst out powerfully.


    If it didn''t explode and overflow, even at its peak, it wouldn''t last long.


    It was not durable.


    ''Continuous Spear,'' however, emphasized ''entanglement,'' a continuous, never-ending flow, where from the first spear to the last, the power often didn''t differ much.


    The downside was that it wasn''t domineering enough, but the upside was stability, not causing one''s spear momentum to suddenly collapse.


    "Similar techniques, like ''Cloud Commanding Spear Technique'' which Teacher Li Yang had me practice actually contains a similar concept," Li Yuan realized he had encountered such moves before.


    In the Starry Skies Fighting Network, when exchanging blows with others, he had faced it as well.


    When practicing in real combat with Teacher Jiang Lun and the two Prime Warriors, they had also used similar moves.


    But they had never deliberately developed a systematic approach.


    "Most importantly, previously, I was solely focused on comprehending the five forms of the Stellar Spear Technique. Where would I have paid attention to this?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile and shake his head.


    It was like the moral of many stories in textbooks. Learnt in the classroom as a child, you thought you understood them... only to realize a decade or two later that you never truly comprehended them.


    The same was true for spear techniques.


    Before completely comprehending the five forms of the Stellar Spear Technique.


    Even though Li Yuan knew that the core of ''Stellar Spear Technique'' lay in the first form ''Stellar Illumination,'' and that he was aware of the core concept ''Stars are like spheres.''


    Even having seen other masters use similar concept techniques.


    Without the corresponding level, it seemed like understanding the principle, but in reality, never having truly comprehended it.


    And the exchange with Kimura Tatsuo, in a way, came after Li Yuan had comprehended the five forms of the Stellar Technique, and had reached a new level of understanding of the Stellar Spear Technique.


    It was upon re-examining it that he gained a new understanding.


    It wasn''t that Kimura Tatsuo''s spear technique was particularly strong, it was just that he appeared at the right place and time.


    Timing.


    Is often very important.


    "From the second form ''Stellar Waterfall'' to the fifth form ''Stellar Battle in the Wild,'' all are offensive moves," Li Yuan contemplated: "Out of the five major moves, four are offensive, yet the ''Stellar Spear Technique'' is recognized as ''an extremely strong defensive spear technique.''"


    "Why is that?"


    "At the core, it is the first form ''Stellar Illumination.''" Li Yuan''s long spear moved slowly, as he began to practice the first form ''Stellar Illumination'' anew.


    Although it seemed the same, once he executed it again, Li Yuan held a different understanding in his heart.


    In the past.


    Whenever he used it, he pursued the ultimate burst and speed, as spectacular as an exploding star.


    But now, revisiting the technique, his moves were slower, and his power more restrained.


    It was like a blazing star that, after billions of years of evolution, transitioned from its initial ''molten lava'' period to stability.


    Not because the star no longer contained the potential for explosive power,


    But because it had condensed this surging force within, seldom unleashing it arbitrarily.

 Chapter 162: 137: Your Goal is Second (Asking for Monthly Votes)_2

    Time and again, Li Yuan practiced, seeking the special feeling he longed for in his heart, hoping to grasp it.


    The so-called epiphany was never a process from 0 to 1 directly.


    It was a qualitative change from 0.99 to 1.


    In the past, Li Yuan had practiced the Stellar Spear Technique countless times, immersing himself in spear technique for years without sleep or rest, and time and again fought against various teachers and coaches.


    This allowed him to unknowingly accumulate from 0 to 0.99.


    Kimura Tatsuo''s spear technique was the perfect catalyst, offering him a glimmer of a chance to break through to 1.


    But it was just a chance.


    To truly seize it, he still needed to put in a tremendous effort to practice, refine, and summarize.


    This was also the reason he came to practice with the spear immediately after each fight.


    "Stars seem to form a circle, without a beginning, without an end."


    "The trajectory of the stars is also a circle," Li Yuan practiced and pondered over and over.


    At this moment.


    Li Yuan no longer deliberately thought about how to use his spear technique against Dantai Feng.


    Instead, he simply wanted to make his own spear technique stronger.


    ...


    In the virtual network, within the ''Combat Space'' of the Ten Schools Freshmen Fight, the final cage match had ended.


    High above, the giant screen displaying the ''Total Points Ranking'' was now completely fixed.


    "Li Yuan, first place!"


    "105 points."


    "First place," thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University who had come to watch the matches all became excited.


    That minority of second- and third-year students, while still rather composed, also began to clap.


    "Li Yuan, Yu Ming, Guan Ying, Garava, Vikram, Dantai Feng, Ruan Wennan, He Liancheng, and other eight students are the top eight in total points for the second round," the burly man above the arena announced in a deep voice, "They will advance directly to the fourth round."


    "Kimura Tatsuo... and another 128 students have ranked within the top 136 in total points for the second round and will enter the third round to decide the eight additional spots for the fourth round tomorrow."


    With the announcer''s spirited voice, the second round of the Ten Schools Freshmen Fight officially ended.


    ...


    "Where''s the eldest senior brother?"


    "Haven''t seen him," the freshmen from the Sixth Institute of Kunlun Martial University couldn''t help but search for Li Yuan''s figure above the ring.


    "Damn."


    "Brother Yuan is also putting on airs, that Dantai Feng conceded and advanced to the top eight," Gu Qianghan couldn''t help but complain, "Brother Yuan took first in total points and isn''t even showing up here."


    "Does putting on airs make one stronger?" Gu Qianghan shook his head.


    "No."


    "It''s not putting on airs that makes one stronger, but only the swagger of a true master is considered cool," An Nong said, pretending to be profound. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Otherwise, it''s just being a clown."


    ...


    At seven o''clock in the evening, as night fell.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yang arrived at Li Yuan''s villa in a flying vehicle, a smile on his face.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan, having received the news of Li Yang''s visit, had been waiting in the living room.


    "You did well today," Li Yang said with a smile as he sat down on the sofa, "Have a seat."


    Li Yuan''s victory over Kimura Tatsuo today allowed him to bask in glory in front of teachers from all schools, naturally bringing him great joy.


    "Hmm," Li Yuan sat down.


    "Taking first in total points and giving the university a boost is not bad," Li Yang said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan with more and more satisfaction.


    "Hardly," Li Yuan shook his head, "Dantai Feng conceded in the second round, otherwise, with his strength, taking first in total points would have been a piece of cake."


    Li Yuan was self-aware.


    First place in the second round''s points? It was only a nominal title.


    "Being humble is necessary, but there''s no need to be overly modest," Li Yang said with a laugh, "Dantai Feng conceded, but Yu Ming and Guan Ying didn''t, and neither did the elite students from other schools."


    "Why didn''t they take first place?" Li Yang laughed, "Isn''t it because they''re not as strong as you?"


    ```


    "Your ability to overshadow Yu Ming and Guan Ying has proved that you are no worse than the elite students of the top three martial arts schools in the world,"


    Li Yuan nodded, not explaining any further.


    "What, still worried about Dantai Feng?" Li Yang asked curiously.


    "Yes," Li Yuan did not hide his concern. "Teacher, to be honest, if it were against anyone else, like Garava, Yu Ming... Although I''m not absolutely certain of victory, I believe I would have a chance."


    "Only with Dantai Feng, if he uses his shield and sword, upon self-reflection, I''m more likely to lose than win." Li Yuan admitted honestly, "My strength is still not enough."


    One should be realistic in their martial arts training, not falsely arrogant.


    A tough challenge is a tough challenge.


    "Ha ha ha." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan with a smile. "Actually, I never expected you to win."


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    He didn''t have hopes for me to win?


    "Do you know who Dantai Feng is? He is just a step away from reaching Subtlety in his mind and spirit," Li Yang said with a smile."Among the freshmen at Starfire University, he''s expected to compete for the top spot."


    "The top spot at Starfire University is practically contending for the top spot worldwide."


    "In other words, Dantai Feng, in your cohort, has hopes of challenging for the worldwide first place, or at least the top five," Li Yang stated solemnly.


    Li Yuan was surprised.


    Dantai Feng was so formidable? He actually had the potential to challenge for the top spot worldwide.


    "Normally, for a competition like the freshman fight of the ten schools, Starfire University shouldn''t choose their strongest students to participate; there''s no point in honing them."


    "The second tier of elites should be chosen according to custom." Li Yang shook his head, "Like Yu Ming, Guan Ying... that''s why I previously thought you had a chance to fight for first place."


    "This time, I don''t know what the higher-ups at Starfire University were thinking to actually send him."


    Li Yuan listened quietly.


    "So, with Dantai Feng here, I stopped expecting you to take first place," Li Yang said with a laugh."Not that you''re inferior to Dantai Feng, it''s just that the progress you''ve made in the past six months is even more remarkable... I believe you will definitely beat him in the future."


    "But for now, you indeed fall short of him."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; Dantai Feng''s strength was truly formidable.


    "The third and fourth rounds of match schedules are out, and you won''t be facing Dantai Feng prematurely," Li Yang said solemnly."That is to say, even if you two were to face each other, it would only be in the final match."


    "The upper and lower halves of the tournament?" Li Yuan mused.


    "Yes."


    Li Yang said with a smile, "So, my only requirement for you is to make it to the finals, ensuring a top-four finish."


    "Reaching the finals would be a victory."


    "You don''t need to bear any psychological burden."


    "If you stop at the top four, well, the rewards aren''t much different from those for the champion or runner-up, and you''ll still receive Heavenly Materials Treasures."


    ...


    Li Yuan saw Li Yang off and then returned alone to the underground Martial Arts Room.


    The lights came on, making the Martial Arts Room bright as day.


    Li Yuan stood in the center with his spear, silently pondering Li Yang''s words.


    In fact.


    Li Yang''s words could be summarized in one sentence: "It''s okay to strive for second place."


    "Second place?" Li Yuan pondered silently.


    Li Yang was not wrong.


    In fact, he had clarified the situation to Li Yuan to avoid any major psychological burden on him.


    However.


    "Victory or defeat? Second place?" Li Yuan shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and continued to quietly refine his Spear Technique.


    Pursuing that profoundly mystical state.


    ...October 6th, the third round.


    There were no top-level masters among the competitors, so Li Yuan didn''t go to watch; he just continued practicing on his own.


    That day, the other eight spots for the top 16 were decided.


    ...


    October 7th, the fourth round.


    Kunlun Martial University had clear skies.


    Today, the final champion of the freshman fight of the ten schools would be determined all the way from the top 16.


    ```

 Chapter 163: 138 The Day of the Final Battle (32,000 monthly ticket bonus)

    Inside the underground Martial Arts Room.


    At eight in the morning, Li Yuan had not yet entered the virtual network and was video calling Lin Lanyue.


    "So early?" Li Yuan smiled. "You''re not competing, so classes shouldn''t be canceled, right? No general education classes this morning?"


    In any Martial Arts University, there will be general education classes that teach various knowledge about history, humanities, the Star Realm''s alien races, science and technology weapons, and other areas.


    "Have you been practicing the Spear Technique so much that you''ve forgotten the time? It''s one in the afternoon over here," Lin Lanyue said with a smile, dressed in a white casual outfit today.


    "I forgot," Li Yuan said with a laugh, shaking his head.


    There is a time difference between Lantis Continent and Xia Country.


    "How about it? Are you confident about winning against Dantai Feng?" Lin Lanyue asked with a smile.


    "The videos you gave me were very helpful," Li Yuan nodded. "However, according to my teacher''s account of his strength... I have at most a thirty percent chance of winning."


    "Thirty percent?" Lin Lanyue''s eyes sparkled slightly. "A thirty percent chance is already quite high."


    "You should know, when we just started our senior year, you had only recently reached the Third Stage in Skill Realm, and he was already at the Fourth Level."


    "On this year''s Blue Star youth ranking, he has always been way ahead, the absolute number one."


    "In just one year''s time, your skill level has almost caught up with his, which is incredible," Lin Lanyue said.


    "Still, it''s a bit short," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Victory or defeat will ultimately be decided by the battle. No one will laugh at you if you lose, and who knows, you might win? On the other hand, Dantai Feng is the one under tremendous pressure," Lin Lanyue laughed. "Log on. The match is about to start."


    "All right."


    ...


    After ending the video call with Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan glanced subconsciously at his Divine Palace panel.


    [Life Level: 13.9 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 7629 kilograms


    Speed: 41.3 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 23.0


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 25% (Current limit 25%, physical quality not strong enough to withstand Spiritual Guidance)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Stage 83%), Movement Technique (Fourth Stage 73%), Fist Technique (Fourth Stage 83%)


    ...


    "Fourth Stage 83% for the Spear Technique."


    "In two days, my Spear Technique has improved by a full 3%," Li Yuan thought silently. "My mind control over my body has also become more refined, allowing me to stir up the slightest traces of subtle vigor."


    Such a rate of improvement in the Spear Technique was terrifying.


    "Stellar Realm, after the battle with Kimura Tatsuo, I have gained some basic understanding. If I had more time, my Spear Technique would certainly become stronger, but, unfortunately, there''s no more time," Li Yuan pondered silently.


    "According to my teacher, he is just a hair''s breadth away from grasping the Flowing Light Imagery; his skill level should be higher than mine."


    "Let''s battle."


    "As long as he hasn''t reached Subtlety with his mind, I still have a chance to hold on," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled. "Hold on, and there''s a chance to win."


    He closed his eyes and stood still for a full minute.


    To completely calm his spirit.


    Then, he directly logged into the virtual network and entered the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    ... Combat Space.


    Even though there were still twenty minutes before the start of the fourth round of the match, the Spectator Platform was already swarming with people, hundreds of thousands gathering.


    "Swoosh!" Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere, and immediately realized he didn''t appear on the Spectator Platform.


    Instead, he was in the ''waiting area'' very close to the combat ring.


    Single seats for each person.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Li Yuan has arrived."


    "Li Yuan." Seconds after Li Yuan appeared, bursts of cheers erupted from the spectator seats behind him.


    If at the start of the second round, the students of various Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country basically didn''t know who Li Yuan was, then by the start of the fourth round, Li Yuan already had a significant reputation.


    Most students acknowledged that among Xia Country''s top sixteen fighters, Dantai Feng was the strongest, followed by Li Yuan, Yu Ming, Guan Ying, and a few others.


    "Big Brother! Take the championship."


    "Li Yuan, go for it."


    "First place!" The students from Kunlun Martial University were the most excited, as their seating area was right behind Li Yuan, not too far away.


    With a glance, Li Yuan spotted many familiar faces, such as Qiu Jing, Gu Qianghan, and Dong Haifeng, already sitting among the crowd.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Finally, you''re here, Li Yuan," two voices sounded next to him.


    "Yang Hong, Wu Luo? Both of you made it into the top sixteen?" Li Yuan looked at the two acquaintances sitting not far away with some surprise.


    So, Kunlun Martial University has three people who''ve broken into the top sixteen this time? That''s a very high ratio.


    Yang Hong and Wu Luo were momentarily stunned.


    "You can''t be serious, Li Yuan," Wu Luo couldn''t help but say. "Are we really that forgettable? We''re in the top sixteen, after all."


    "My bad," Li Yuan explained with a smile. "From the end of the second round the day before yesterday until today, I''ve been practicing the Spear Technique. I really didn''t pay attention to who made it into the top sixteen in yesterday''s matches."


    Li Yuan truly didn''t know.


    The top sixteen? Is that strong?


    "Oh, I see," Wu Luo realized Li Yuan wasn''t targeting him and laughed, "Then I''ll introduce you to the other competitors."


    "That one over there is Li Jiao from the East Sea Martial University," Wu Luo said with a smile. "She specializes in..."


    ...


    While Wu Luo, Li Yuan, and Yang Hong were chatting, the other top sixteen contestants appeared one after another.


    At the same time.


    In the Spectator Space, various areas saw the arrival of some very quiet and low-profile students.


    "Gong Mi, you''re here too?" A burly white youth with a full beard and striking blue eyes laughed. He was quite handsome.


    "Salvatore, you''re here as well," a black-clad young man laughed, his features very ordinary.


    Gong Mi!


    Born in a small country within ASEAN, but endowed with supreme talent, his skills were almost on par with Dantai Feng.


    The three of them were recognized as the three top-grade talents in Starfire University''s current class.


    ...


    "Sister, look, Skarrett has arrived," Wu Dongdong pointed to an inconspicuous black youth not far away.


    "Hmm."


    Lin Lanyue nodded and smiled, "Dantai Feng is participating in the Ten Schools Tournament for newcomers, and with the addition of Li Yuan, Garava, and a few other top-grade experts, it''s almost like a preview of the global Martial Arts competition next February. Naturally, many people are interested in coming to watch."


    ...


    Higher up in the Spectator Space, here lays the gathering place for the teachers.


    "Old iron, you actually came?"


    "You didn''t come to the newcomers'' fights of the past few years, did you?"


    "This year''s competition is out of the ordinary, so I came to have a look."


    "That''s true, the competition has a much higher value this year." As the finals day, the number of teachers from various schools who came to watch had far surpassed that of the previous two days.


    The number has exceeded four hundred people.


    It must be known that each teacher is at least a high-level Martial Artist, and many are even top-grade Martial Artists.


    Although many teachers are from different schools, they have excellent private relationships, and it is rare for them to meet given the long distances in their daily lives.


    It can be said that today is a rare grand meeting that gathers so many powerful Martial Artists in one place.


    ...


    Time elapsed.


    Perhaps due to the fermentation and publicity of the past two days. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the competition time gradually approached, the number of spectators in the stands rapidly exceeded 600,000, gradually closing in on 700,000. This was already a new high for the number of people watching the Ten Schools Newcomers'' Tournament.


    After all, this was just an internal competition, not open to the general public.


    Finally, the time came to 8:30.


    "After three days of competition, our Ten Schools Newcomers'' Tournament has finally reached the day of the final battle." The burly host appeared above the dueling stage, his voice excited, "Today, the number of spectators has created a new historical high of the past ten years, reaching an astonishing 640,000 people."


    "I believe that the sixteen Martial Arts geniuses from different schools will also definitely present everyone with a series of superbly brilliant genius battles today." The voice of the burly man echoed throughout the entire dueling space.


    As music began to play, the atmosphere on the scene also rose even more fervently.


    "Good!"


    "First to start is today''s ''Round of 16 to 8'' first match." The voice of the burly man vibrated, "The first one, from the Martial Arts University of the East Sea''s country ''Ohno Satoshi.'' "


    Swish!


    A young man from Sakura Country appeared on the stage holding twin blades, 1.7 meters tall with an ordinary-looking face.


    "Ohno Satoshi!"


    "Ohno Satoshi." Nearly one hundred thousand cheering students from Sakura Country exclaimed excitedly.


    Ohno Satoshi was another top expert that emerged from Sakura Country after Kimura Tatsuo, with strong abilities, having swept through his opponents in the third round yesterday and entered the top sixteen.


    "The other one, the Martial Arts genius from Starfire University¡ªDantai! Feng!" The burly announcer''s voice grew even more stirring, almost excited.


    "Dantai Feng!"


    "Dantai Feng!"


    "Dantai Feng!" The entire Spectator Platform immediately exploded with a tsunami of shouting, the sounds deafening, reverberating around the dueling stage.


    It was not only the several hundred thousand spectators from Xia Country shouting Dantai Feng''s name but many from other countries as well.


    Can''t help it!


    Strength represented everything.


    Dantai Feng''s sweeping moves with twin blades through the cage fight in the second round and his decision to abstain showcased strength, confidence, and composure, easily attracting the worship of many students.


    Whoosh!


    Dantai Feng was also transported onto the stage, holding twin blades in his hands, he gave Ohno Satoshi a sidelong glance and then closed his eyes, as if Ohno Satoshi didn''t matter to him at all.


    "Bastard." Ohno Satoshi cursed silently in his heart, "He doesn''t even bring a shield, he''s underestimating me too much."


    Those who had made it into the top sixteen were Martial Arts geniuses highly valued by their schools, and naturally, they would know about the strengths and intelligence of their opponents.


    ...Under the stage.


    "Such a show-off," Yang Hong couldn''t help saying, "Li Yuan, Wu Luo, Dantai Feng''s way of looking at people with a slanted eye is kind of cool."


    "It is cool, but also rather annoying. I suggest not copying it," Li Yuan laughed.


    He suddenly understood why Tian Dazhuang had a problem with Dantai Feng.


    Watching someone show off and play cool every day, and not being able to beat them.


    It would annoy anyone.


    ...


    On the stage, following the end of the final ten-second countdown, Dantai Feng and Ohno Satoshi instantly erupted into battle.


    Indeed instantly.


    Because!


    The moment the fight began, Ohno Satoshi charged at Dantai Feng, both wielding twin blades.


    But just after a single exchange.


    Dantai Feng''s blades whistled, and after only a few clashes of the blades, a dazzling arc of light suddenly shone and swept past Ohno Satoshi''s head.


    Death!


    Until defeating his opponent, Dantai Feng stood on the stage, still with a slightly lifted head, a cold look on his face, looking so composed.


    "This should be cool enough," Dantai Feng thought to himself.


    ...


    Seeing the combat scene, the entire Spectator Platform fell silent for a moment. He lost just after an exchange? He was one of the top sixteen, after all.


    But the silence lasted only for a moment.


    "Dantai Feng!" The next second, the vast Spectator Platform erupted with tsunami-like excited cheers.


    Only the tens of thousands of Sakura Country spectators looked at each other, not knowing what to say.


    In fact, they knew Ohno Satoshi was likely to lose, but who would''ve thought he would lose so miserably?


    ...


    "So strong!"


    "Such a fast blade!" The layman watches the excitement; the expert sees the subtleties.


    The faces of the ten or so contestants watching closely below the stage changed.


    ...


    "The second battle." The burly announcer''s eyes seemingly sparkled, eagerly saying, "Let us welcome from Tianzhu Country, ''Garava''."


    "And."


    "From Xia Country''s Kunlun Martial Arts University, the Martial Arts genius¡ªLi! Yuan!"

 Chapter 164: 139: The Clash at the Summit

    The competitors who made it to the top sixteen were all exceptional choices, with the majority being extraordinary, and the likelihood of them becoming high-rank Prime Warriors, or even top-grade Origin Martial Artists in the future, was extremely high.


    For example, if it weren''t for Li Yuan overshadowing them with his brilliance, Yang Hong and Wu Luo would have been capable of instigating a ''Battle of the Gemini Stars'' legend among the freshmen at Kunlun Martial University.


    But there was no doubt that among the top sixteen, there were those who were exceptionally dazzling, and Dantai Feng was in a league of his own in strength. This was confirmed in the first match from the top sixteen to the top eight.


    Li Yuan, Garava, Yu Ming, and Guan Ying, on the other hand, were recognized as the most powerful contenders for the final four.


    This was evident from the fact that all four of them had total points exceeding 90 in the second round.


    However, most of the spectators had not anticipated that, as early as in the round of sixteen, Li Yuan and Garava would face each other.


    "What''s going on?"


    "With their strength, they should at least encounter each other in the top four, right? How come they meet in the first match of the fourth round? Are they targeting someone?"


    "The organizer is Xia Country."


    "Could it be they are targeting Garava?" The hundreds of thousands of spectators on the Spectator Platform were suddenly abuzz with discussion, most of them had not paid attention to the match schedule in advance.


    Or rather, among the 136 elite students who entered the third round, even if they knew their own ''schedule,'' they wouldn''t leak it.


    ..."Garava!"


    "Defeat that Xia Country person."


    "Li Yuan!!" Waves of roaring cheers suddenly erupted from the vast Spectator Platform, with both Xia Country and Tianzhu Country spectators vigorously cheering on their sides.


    "Garava is the strongest."


    "Li Yuan, beat the hell out of that loser."


    "Li Yuan!!" On the Spectator Screen, a massive amount of comments were being rapidly posted, and the support levels for both sides were nearly even for a while.


    There was no helping it; Tianzhu Country was the only one that could compete with Xia Country in terms of the number of spectators.


    One side was close to three hundred thousand spectators, the other was over two hundred thousand, and the majority of the Spectator Platform was occupied by these two countries.


    Whatever the reason, the match between the two ratcheted up the atmosphere of the combat space to its peak.


    People like Yu Ming and Guan Ying were already watching the two on the stage with their eyes wide open.


    Even Dantai Feng, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, was actually peering through a slit in his eyelids, stealthily watching the match.


    Everyone knew,


    Li Yuan vs Garava would undoubtedly be a pinnacle duel in the freshman battles of the ten schools.


    ...


    While the atmosphere outside the ring was explosive, the two on the stage were both exceptionally calm. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Li Yuan, I didn''t expect to encounter you so soon."


    "You''re strong, but I''m certain I''ll win," said Garava, his dark skin making him look quite ordinary.


    He wore a smile on his face, but his eyes conveyed a strong sense of conviction.


    "Certain to win?"


    Li Yuan smiled and said, "That''s what I think as well, I certainly don''t want to miss the Heavenly Materials Treasures."


    By making it to the top sixteen, there was already a reward of twenty million Blue Star Coins.


    And according to the schedule, as long as they could defeat one another, their next opponent in the top eight would be quite weak, almost certainly unable to stop them.


    Once they broke into the top four, they would be awarded Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    For martial path geniuses like them, this was undoubtedly an astonishing temptation.


    Both of them were filled with a desire for victory.


    They could both feel the other''s strong intent to battle, and neither said anything more.


    Then, the battle erupted completely!


    "Boom!" Garava charged fiercely, his speed instantly at its peak. In his dark combat armor, he was like a dark shadow, brutally pouncing towards Li Yuan.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan held his spear in both hands, legs apart, and his body slightly leaning forward, already in a defensive stance.


    "Hah!"


    Garava roared suddenly as he closed in, his long spear striking like a venomous snake, bursting forth like a vortex in the water, whistling as it thrust forward.


    The image of the spear changed unpredictably, mystifying and elusive, as if it had created dozens of afterimages, making it difficult to discern which one was the actual spear tip.


    Li Yuan was completely enveloped.


    Just this move alone was enough to instantly kill any Fourth Rank opponent.


    Seeing this spectacle, many spectators from the Xia Country couldn''t help but cry out in amazement.


    Garava took the aggressive first attack, displaying fierce momentum.


    "Whish! Whish, whish! Slash!" Li Yuan''s footwork shifted, he retreated like lightning while his long spear danced in his hands, its tip tracing astonishing arcs of light around him, creating a huge sphere of spears to completely envelop himself.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    The two long spears collided mid-air like lightning, countless images of the spears intertwining. The exchange was so fast that to many of the onlookers, it seemed as if five or six spears were clashing.


    "Stellar as round."


    "The spear tip draws a circle." Li Yuan was utmost calm, his spear striking repeatedly, seemingly flustered, fending off Garava''s onslaught.


    But in actuality, no matter if it was a straight thrust, parry, flick, cleave, or press, Li Yuan''s range of attack always stayed within an arc.


    Within this range, no matter how wildly Garava attacked or thrust fiercely, he could hardly advance an inch.


    "As I thought."


    "Just as I predicted, if I defend with all my might, this Garava can''t shake me in the slightest." Li Yuan was as nonchalant as a light breeze, his heart serene.


    He had already decided that he could probably win with an offensive approach against Garava.


    But that was not Li Yuan''s goal. His true target was Dantai Feng.


    Garava? In Li Yuan''s eyes, he was just another whetstone.


    If he couldn''t even defend against a Garava, how could he talk about defending against Dantai Feng''s blade?


    "Bang! Bang~" Garava thrust and hacked furiously time after time. His combat style was completely different from that of Kimura Tatsuo''s.


    He pursued a style of violent and fierce attacks, aiming to crush his opponents with absolute power and speed.


    In the past, when facing top warriors in his own school, this strategy had been invincible.


    But against Li Yuan, all his attacks were rendered ineffective and repelled.


    "They say that prolonged defense will lead to defeat."


    "How can he defend to such an extent?" Garava could hardly believe it, his heart gradually sinking.


    Attack! He had already attacked to the limit, but he still couldn''t touch Li Yuan.


    "Comfortable!" The more Li Yuan defended, the more comfortable he felt.


    At this moment, amidst the shouts of hundreds of thousands of spectators in this unique environment, Li Yuan vaguely felt he was getting closer and closer to fully grasping that distinct rhythm.


    ...On the spectator platform, hundreds of thousands of students from various Martial Arts Universities had already been shaken by the duel between the two.


    Previously, whether it was Garava or Li Yuan, both of them had swept through the second round without anyone being able to withstand their two spears; now that they had encountered each other, the battle had escalated to such an extent.


    One''s Spear Technique was wild and fierce, truly embodying the reputation of the spear as the king of the battlefield.


    The other had been defending throughout, like an immovable mountain, blocking the opponent''s relentless barrages one after another.


    "Garava!"


    "He''s forcing Li Yuan to defend, powerful!" The Tianzhu Country''s audience cheered excitedly.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Li Yuan!"


    "In every battle, as long as Li Yuan can hold his defense, once he counterattacks, he will easily crush the enemy." The Xia Country spectators believed this firmly.


    ...


    "Garava is losing," a top grade Origin Martial Artist teacher on the high Spectator Platform whispered, "Prolonged defense will lead to defeat. In a Spear Technique duel, the attacker usually has the absolute advantage, but he simply cannot shake Li Yuan''s defense."


    "Li Yuan''s skill level is clearly much higher." More teachers commented.


    "Stellar as a circle."


    "Li Yuan''s Spear Technique has truly captured some of the essence of the Stellar Spear Technique; this progress is frightening."


    "Genius!"


    "His Spear Technique defense gives me the illusion that it simply cannot be broken. According to his file, he only reached the Fourth Stage Skill realm in March? That''s outrageous." These teachers were at least in the Subtle Technique realm, and many were at Fifth Stage Skill.


    How many Spear Techniques had they seen? Their standards were exceptionally high, and they quickly realized the actual situation on the platform.


    "Li Yuan''s spear."


    "Stellar charm?" Li Yang, as Li Yuan''s teacher, found it somewhat incredible: "Has his Spear Technique improved greatly from before?"


    He had previously concluded that Li Yuan could not win because as of September 30, he had just finished teaching Li Yuan and felt that Li Yuan was far from entering Subtlety with his heart and soul.


    How much time had passed since then? Only a week!


    "He is a true fighting genius, the more he fights and feels pressure, the more it stimulates his potential," Dean Xu said in a soft voice. "Li Yang, you really found a treasure. Your student is an inconceivable genius of the Martial Path,"


    "He has grasped the true essence of the Stellar Realm, give him time, and he will surely enter the realm of Subtlety with his heart and soul."


    "If before there was no hope of him winning against Dantai Feng, now... there''s a thirty percent chance," Dean Xu affirmed.


    "Thirty percent?" Li Yang nodded slightly.


    He was well aware that Dean Xu was a High Rank Fifth Stage master, very close to becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    His judgment was more precise than his own.


    "He''s about to win," Dean Xu suddenly said.


    Not far away.


    "Garava." The black-robed elder, Ba Qiang, sighed inwardly as he watched the intense clash on the platform: "It''s a pity; he happened to come up against Li Yuan."


    As Garava''s teacher, and a top grade Origin Martial Artist, he could see the terror in Li Yuan.


    That immovable defense.


    The Long Spear like a circle, as steady as Mount Tai, was far too stable, completely suppressing Garava.


    The switch between offense and Defense often came down to who was stronger and who was weaker.


    "He''s going to lose." The black-robed elder Ba Qiang felt rather helpless within, thinking that if Garava encountered Yu Ming or Guan Ying, he would have had a chance to win.


    Only Li Yuan.


    "This Li Yuan, he even has a chance at victory against Dantai Feng," Ba Qiang lamented internally.


    ...


    "Garava is going to lose." Some of the competitors in the preparation area also realized this.


    "This Spear Technique?" Unbeknownst to himself, Dantai Feng had opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming: "The Stellar Realm?"


    "Interesting!"


    "Kunlun Martial University has actually brought forth such a master? Finally, my time isn''t wasted."


    Dantai Feng was not concerned but rather excited about Li Yuan''s emergence.


    He was anticipating the battle with a strong adversary.


    ...


    On the platform, Garava became increasingly panicked and alarmed as he fought because he realized that Li Yuan''s defense was becoming more and more composed.


    He was beginning to counterattack!


    No! To be precise, it wasn''t Li Yuan counterattacking, but an instinctive change within his Spear Momentum during the transition.


    The core of the Stellar Spear Technique wasn''t rigid Defense, but defense as a form of attack.


    Yet, it was Li Yuan''s casual counter during a defense that made Garava increasingly disheveled.


    "I must win." Garava gritted his teeth; he continued to attack fiercely, hoping to find a sliver of life.


    But as time slipped by, his stamina began to decline.


    Being the attacker, his energy consumption was inevitably greater, and his spear speed had begun to slow unknowingly.


    Suddenly.


    "Pu!" As if through a tacit understanding or a subconscious action, after blocking another attack from Garava, Li Yuan''s Long Spear swiftly transitioned and abruptly thrust out with an explosive burst.


    From defense to offense!


    Naturally as if ordained by the heavens!


    This spear thrust, propelled by more vigor than any of Li Yuan''s previous attacks, had mobilized the subtlest strengths within his body.


    The situation changed in that instant.


    The speed of this spear thrust skyrocketed to a terrifying level.


    "Pu!"


    One spear cleaved through the vast sky, and in the next second, Garava''s figure had already turned ethereal.


    "Impressive." Garava opened his mouth as his figure completely dissipated.


    One spear!


    Garava, defeated!


    "The Meaning of the Stellar." Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, stood quietly in place and murmured to himself: "In Defense, unshakable, like the vast earth."


    "In attack, like the Stellar Burst, an unstoppable force."


    Through the battle with Garava, Li Yuan''s understanding of the Meaning of the Stellar had indeed taken another step forward.


    His eyes glanced at a section of the Divine Palace panel:


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Stage 85%), movement technique (Fourth Stage 73%), Fist Technique (Fourth Stage 86%)


    ...Li Yuan had secured the second spot in the top eight.

 Chapter 165: 140: Breaking into the Finals (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    Whoosh! Li Yuan returned to the waiting area below the ring, but what about Garava?


    He had been eliminated, so naturally, he couldn''t wait in the preparation zone.


    "Li Yuan, impressive!"


    "So awesome."


    "To think he defeated Garava with just one strike." Yang Hong and Wu Luo, sitting on both sides, were genuinely moved and full of admiration.


    They had always known the gap between themselves and Li Yuan was wide, which was evident during the entrance competition.


    But it wasn''t until today, when they witnessed the fight between Li Yuan and Garava, that they realized just how colossal the gap had become.


    "Thank you." Li Yuan smiled lightly, his heart not filled with too much joy.


    It was just a victory over Garava, after all.


    Having had an epiphany from his battle with Kimura Tatsuo, and after concentrating on his training for two more days, Li Yuan hadn''t considered anyone besides Dantai Feng as his opponent.


    As Li Yuan had expected, Garava''s strength was formidable, but still unable to pose a real threat to him.


    "Li Yuan, Dantai Feng is watching you," Wu Luo suddenly said.


    "Oh?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but turn his head to look at Dantai Feng, sitting far away.


    Dantai Feng was wearing a self-perceived handsome smile.


    ...


    "Won."


    "He suddenly exploded with power, defeating Garava with a single strike; Li Yuan is too monstrous." S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "How fierce." Li Yuan was indifferent to the result of the match, but the entire Spectator Platform was thoroughly ablaze with excitement, especially the several hundred thousand spectators from Xia Country, all brimming with immense pride.


    The first match was won by Dantai Feng, and the second by Li Yuan.


    In their eyes, both were victories for Xia Country.


    "Garava actually lost."


    "Despite having a great advantage, he carelessly lost. Garava is really useless."


    "Poor mentality." Over two hundred thousand student spectators from Tianzhu Country felt extremely uncomfortable.


    "The people of Tianzhu are idiots."


    "I always said that Lord Li Yuan is the strongest."


    "The champion will definitely be between Lord Li Yuan and Dantai Feng, and my money''s on Lord Li Yuan." Many spectators from Sakura Country were ironically singing praises of Li Yuan.


    ...


    In the midst of intense discussion and cheering, the matches for the top sixteen continued one after another.


    There was a constant emergence of victors.


    However, none of the matches were as fiercely intense as the fight between Li Yuan and Garava.


    After six more battles, the top eight were decided for the freshman competition of the ten schools¡ªDantai Feng, Li Yuan, Yu Ming, Guan Ying, Wu Luo, Vikram, Li Mingyue... and Kimura Tatsuo!


    The last of the top eight was Kimura Tatsuo.


    After a fierce struggle against He Liancheng from Polestar Martial Arts University, he finally triumphed, albeit with difficulty.


    "What a pity."


    "It was so close."


    "He Liancheng also possessed intermediate level Fourth Rank skills, and his strength was extremely formidable."


    "If he had won, then Xia Country could have occupied seven spots in the top eight." The several hundred thousand Xia Country spectators all felt somewhat regretful and displeased.


    But in reality, this was already highly remarkable, because, even with Kimura Tatsuo struggling into the top eight, six spots were occupied by martial arts geniuses from Xia Country.


    "Li Yuan! Wu Luo."


    "Haha, in the top eight, our Kunlun Martial University has two spots."


    "Kyoto Martial University doesn''t have a single one." The freshmen from Kunlun Martial University were somewhat excited and crazy with joy.


    At this moment, under the atmosphere fostered by the competition space, the sense of belonging towards the school and the country for the vast majority was far higher than usual.


    All spectators hoped that the martial arts prodigies from their own schools and countries would perform even better.


    Ten minutes of rest.


    The quarterfinals will continue.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, go for it! I have to stop at the top eight," Wu Luo said casually in the preparation area, "But, making it into the top eight and Yang Hong not making it at all."


    "Feels great."


    "It proves that I''m indeed the real Number Two among the freshmen at Kunlun Martial University," Wu Luo said seriously, hoping for Li Yuan''s acknowledgment.


    "Lack some confidence?" Li Yuan smiled, "Go all out, and who knows, maybe you''ll even flip Dantai Feng."


    That''s right!


    According to the schedule, the first match of the quarterfinals was Wu Luo against Dantai Feng.


    "Bro, stop making fun of me," Wu Luo shook his head, "I know I''m not strong enough, but I have good judgment. Apart from you, none of us stands a chance against Dantai Feng. There''s only one possibility if we want to win."


    "What possibility?" Li Yuan was curious.


    "That he tries to act too cocky and lets us use both hands, both feet, plus a head," Wu Luo replied matter-of-factly.


    ...


    Ten minutes later, the four matches of the quarterfinals officially began.


    In the first match, Dantai Feng, still using his dual blades, faced Wu Luo. In terms of strength, Wu Luo was on par with ''Ohno Satoshi'', who Dantai Feng had defeated in the first round.


    But perhaps out of respect for his compatriot,


    Dantai Feng gave Wu Luo considerable face, clashing with him for dozens of moves before finally killing him.


    ...In the second match, Yu Ming faced Li Mingyue in an internal battle for Xia Country, and Yu Ming ultimately secured the victory, claiming a spot in the top four.


    ...The third match was Li Yuan against Kimura Tatsuo.


    That''s right, in the crucial match of the quarterfinals, Kimura Tatsuo was up against Li Yuan once more.


    "Lord Li Yuan."


    "Your strength is formidable and I respect it," Kimura Tatsuo was much calmer and more humble than during their previous encounter: "But please allow me to defend the dignity of a warrior, I will never surrender."


    "I also hope that you will go all out," Kimura Tatsuo said earnestly.


    He had no illusions of winning, and he was well aware that, whether facing Yu Ming or Guan Ying, his chances of victory were slim.


    "Alright," Li Yuan said succinctly.


    A minute later.


    Li Yuan, who had launched a series of six rapid and ferocious strikes, pierced Kimura Tatsuo''s throat with his spear tip.


    Kimura Tatsuo''s eyes were wide as his figure vanished in an instant, as if he wanted to say something.


    "You''re the one who asked me to go all out," Li Yuan shrugged.

 Chapter 166: 140: Breaking into the Finals (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

    This was the fastest quarter-final match.


    "Heavenly Materials Treasures, in hand," Li Yuan smiled, his basic goal for this freshman battle of the ten schools had been achieved.


    Next.


    It was time to completely relax and go all out for the final.


    ...Up to now, the first three of the top four had been decided: Dantai Feng, Yu Ming, and Li Yuan.


    The last spot in the top four would be contested between Guan Ying and Vikram.


    But!!


    To the surprise of almost everyone, Guan Ying, the top genius from Starfire University and the female swordswoman who had demonstrated amazing strength in the second and fourth rounds,


    lost the most critical quarter-final match... to Vikram from Tianzhu Country!


    "Guan Ying lost?"


    "She''s the top genius of Starfire University, how could she lose?" The Spectator Platform erupted in shock.


    Especially the viewers from Xia Country, who had been prepared for the ''best case scenario'' of all four top talents in the semi-finals being from Xia Country''s Martial Path.


    Unexpectedly, a dark horse emerged at the last moment.


    "Won!!"


    "Vikram!! Top Four!!" The Tianzhu Country viewers were completely wild with excitement.


    Who could have imagined?


    After Tianzhu Country''s most promising contender, Garava, lost to Li Yuan, the underestimated Vikram miraculously turned the tables.


    Successfully breaking into the top four.


    Making it to the top four was a completely different thing than the top eight.


    "Vikram, such strong Soft Sword Technique."


    "He uses twin swords too, but his sword technique is even more unpredictable."


    "Another high-rank Fourth Level," the three victorious contenders, Li Yuan, Yu Ming, and Dantai Feng, all focused their attention on Vikram, who had just fought hard to get into the top four.


    They could all see that Guan Ying had indeed been a bit careless, but Vikram''s strength was truly formidable, and he had been hiding his true power.


    When he finally unleashed it, he caught Guan Ying completely off guard.


    "Won."


    "Garava, this time, I''ve surpassed you," Vikram was also extremely excited, having reached high-rank Fourth Level less than half a month ago.


    But he had not ventured into the Starry Skies Fighting Network, waiting instead for the opportunity to burst onto the scene in the ten schools'' freshman battle.


    Throughout the competition, tens of thousands of viewers from Tianzhu Country had been following Garava, while Vikram, despite also making it to the top sixteen, received very little attention.


    But today, he had made it to the top four.


    This was the charm of Martial Path duels: victory and defeat. Until the very last moment, one could never know who was stronger.


    "Made it into the top four."


    "My next opponent is, Dantai Feng," Vikram harbored a slight hope in his heart: "I''m high-rank Fourth Level, and he''s the same."


    "Although my teacher said I''m absolutely no match for him."


    "But, there''s always a glimmer of hope," Vikram''s initial goal was to make it into the top four.


    But now that he had really stormed into the finals of the competition, a greater ambition began to sprout in his heart.


    ...


    "This Vikram can really hold back," the teachers from various countries in the higher level Spectator Space were all discussing.


    Without a doubt.


    The most eye-catching battle during the top eight was Vikram''s.


    "Damn it," the black-robed elder ''Ba Qiang'' felt as miserable as if he had eaten shit.


    Because, he watched his arch-enemy, ''Niru,'' also a Martial Path professor from Tianzhu, receiving many congratulations.


    "Both from Xia Country, why can''t Guan Ying be as strong as Li Yuan?" the black-robed elder Ba Qiang grumbled internally.


    ...


    The critical top four had been decided, and the competition continued without any break. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It immediately started the real semi-finals.


    "The two semi-finals will determine the two true finalists," the burly host was incredibly excited, "The first semi-final is between Li Yuan from Kunlun Martial University, known as the strongest defender of this competition''s Martial Path talents¡ª"


    "He will face Yu Ming from Starfire University, known for his ferocious attacks!"


    Cheers filled the entire Spectator Space, plunging into the revelry of the Xia Country viewers.


    The viewers from other countries were relatively quiet, and some from countries like Sakura Country and ASEAN had even begun to leave.


    Because this was an internal competition for Xia Country, as their own competitors had all been eliminated.


    On the stage.


    "Li Yuan, I reckon I''m no match for you," Yu Ming was very calm, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I only hope for one thing."


    "What is it?" Li Yuan asked, perplexed.


    "After making it to the finals, beat that show-off Dantai Feng," Yu Ming said softly.


    Immediately after, without waiting for Li Yuan to react,


    Boom! Yu Ming had already lunged at Li Yuan, who, after a moment of surprise, waited with his spear.


    This battle.


    Li Yuan and Yu Ming fought fiercely for a long time, to be exact, this battle was purely a replica of Li Yuan''s fight against Garava.


    Li Yuan focused solely on defense, continuing to hone his Spear Technique.


    As for Yu Ming.


    He claimed to be not as good as Li Yuan, but when it came to the real fight, he also went all out, not holding back in the slightest in his attacks, his offensive was even stronger than Garava''s, without falling short in any aspect.


    Ultimately, after more than ten minutes of intense combat, they provided the over 700,000 spectators with an exceptionally brilliant offensive and defensive battle.


    Li Yuan, won this battle.


    And just before the final burst of his spear.


    "Yu Ming, thank you," Li Yuan projected this voice, bringing the battle to an absolute end.


    The intense battle with Yu Ming allowed Li Yuan to gain deeper insight and brought him one step closer to a true breakthrough.


    "The finals." A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes as he vanished from the platform.


    ...


    "Senior brother won!"


    "He''s entered the finals." The students of Kunlun Martial Arts University were becoming increasingly excited.


    "That Yu Ming is Starfire University''s top genius, and he was still defeated by senior brother."


    "Take down the championship."


    "Number one." Many students from Kunlun Martial University excitedly shouted out for the championship.


    Facing one strong opponent after another.


    Still, he swept away all his opponents, advancing into the final bout with his revealed formidable power.


    This not only inspired admiration among the freshmen of the Sixth Institute of Kunlun Martial University but also pride and respect from all the new students of Kunlun Martial University.


    ...


    "First defeating Garava, then Yu Ming, Li Yuan''s strength has been proven," Li Yang said with a smile, "I hope he can fight to his heart''s content without pressure in the final battle."


    "Hmm." Dean Xu nodded.


    Li Yuan''s performance had far exceeded their expectations.


    ...


    Soon, the second match of the semi-finals unfolded between Dantai Feng and Vikram.


    When Dantai Feng appeared on the platform.


    The weapon in his hands once again surprised many, including Li Yuan.


    Because Dantai Feng''s weapon was not switched to a saber and shield but was still a pair of swords!


    "Still using dual swords?" Vikram felt insulted.


    "Tianzhu man, I''ll teach you how to use dual swords," Dantai Feng said indifferently.


    Upon hearing this, Vikram became thoroughly enraged, "You Xia Country man, are too arrogant."


    Although he also used dual swords, they were the weapons he had used since childhood, and when combined with his Soft Sword Technique, they maximized his power.


    Dantai Feng? As far as he knew, the strongest weapon configuration was always the saber and shield.


    "Arrogant?"


    "Vikram," Dantai Feng said with a slight smile, "do you know the difference between arrogance and confidence?"


    Vikram was stunned for a moment.


    "Strength," Dantai Feng murmured to himself, striking a dashing pose, "when my saber slashes across your neck, no one will call me arrogant anymore."


    Flames almost spewed from Vikram''s eyes.


    "You defeated my teammate."


    "Therefore, you still deserve my respect," Dantai Feng said lightly, "I will bring out my true strength to send you off."


    That moment.


    "Fuck!" Vikram couldn''t hold back any longer, brandishing his dual swords and charging with a whoosh.


    Swift as lightning.


    He lunged directly at Dantai Feng, his combat sabers raised high, ready to strike his opponent in the next second.


    "Soft Sword Technique?"


    "Too slow," Dantai Feng said with a gentle shake of his head, his eyes slightly narrowed, at the very instant before their weapons could clash.


    Boom!


    Dantai Feng finally moved, his burst speed surpassing Vikram by a wide margin, his dual sabers slicing through the air like terrifying streaks of flowing light.


    "Clang!" "Clang!"


    Four terrifying streams of saber light intersected like lightning! Then blood splattered!


    Thud~ Vikram crashed heavily onto the ground, with blood on his neck, his body gradually dispersing.


    "Only you left, Li Yuan," Dantai Feng said with a smile, looking down at Li Yuan, whose expression was solemn.


    ...


    "Flowing Light Imagery!"


    "Subtlety of the mind!!" In the higher-level Spectator Space, the teachers were all abuzz with amazement, staring at the scene in shock.

 Chapter 167: 141 Li Yuan VS Dantai Feng (34,000 Monthly Tickets Plus)

    On the Spectator Platform, the hundreds of thousands of spectators, limited by their vision, couldn''t clearly see the split-second burst from Dantai Feng just now.


    They could only feel that Dantai Feng was powerful, managing to slay Vikram within ten blows.


    However, in the higher-level Spectator Space, the Prime Warrior teachers from various universities were able to analyze the mystery from Dantai Feng''s sudden outbreak.


    "In the virtual duel, physical quality is the same for everyone, and Vikram is also of the Fourth Level High Rank. It should stand to reason that even if Dantai Feng held an advantage, it wouldn''t be such an overwhelming victory."


    "There''s only one possibility! A mind refined to subtlety! He has tapped into the body''s subtle vigor to a great extent."


    "It gave him a burst speed and strength comparable to a Level 12 Martial Artist."


    "Mind refined to subtlety."


    "And his sword, terrifyingly fast, that kind of extreme radiance, is definitely Flowing Light Imagery." The teachers rapidly exchanged ideas and quickly came to a consensus.


    "Incredible!"


    "It''s only his first year, October."


    "Xia Country''s number one? No! The number one in the whole world." The teachers all sighed in amazement.


    A mind refined to subtlety, if observed in someone in their mid-twenties and in their fourth or fifth year, could indeed be called a ''Martial Path prodigy'', but there''s a large crowd of such individuals globally.


    But on a freshman who had just entered university a few months ago? That was extremely rare.


    In all Martial Arts Universities across the globe, among the freshmen, there probably was only this one case.


    Keep in mind, it''s only October now.


    It''s only been three months since the new students enrolled.


    "Just a freshman, his physical quality certainly isn''t high, and his spiritual power isn''t strong either," said the Dean of East Sea Martial University, unable to help himself, "Yet he can refine his mind to subtlety? Even if he can''t have a breakthrough in a short time, by the time he is a third-year and becomes a Prime Warrior, he will definitely be able to step into Fifth Stage Skill."


    "Yes, the threshold of the Fifth Stage will definitely not stop him."


    "Truly a genius." Many teachers nodded, moved by the thought.


    To progress a skill from Fourth Level Perfection to the Fifth Stage is extremely difficult!


    Even in Starfire University, Starry Sky University, and Black Stone University, there are very few students at the Fifth Stage Skill.


    An ordinary Martial Arts University? It''s hard to find even one throughout the whole student body.


    But at this moment, nearly all the teachers believed that Dantai Feng would reach the Fifth Stage during his university years.


    Why? Foundations!


    Weak physical quality, insufficient spiritual power, insufficient experience, etc., all lead to much poorer comprehension.


    Spiritual power in particular.


    Whether it''s a mind refined to subtlety or the higher level ''Fifth Stage Heaven and Man'', the requirement for spiritual power is very high.


    Normally speaking, if the spiritual power isn''t strong enough, it''s nearly impossible to break through to the Fifth Stage.


    Therefore, for a genius like Dantai Feng who has already refined his mind to subtlety, just ensuring normal cultivation until he becomes a Prime Warrior, his foundation will be much stronger than it is now.


    With his comprehension, stepping into the Fifth Stage is almost a sure thing.


    "Li Yuan won''t win."


    "It''s not that Li Yuan isn''t strong enough, but that Dantai Feng is just too abnormal." Even the teachers who were originally somewhat optimistic about Li Yuan now almost unanimously believed that Dantai Feng would win.


    They couldn''t imagine how Dantai Feng could lose.


    "What should we do?" Dean Xu looked towards Li Yang, a trace of worry flickering in his eyes, "Should we inform Li Yuan?"


    "There''s no need."


    Li Yang gently shook his head, "Let it be a trial for him."


    "Ever since he entered the university, he has been advancing by leaps and bounds. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for him to become more vigilant."


    "Hmm."


    Dean Xu calmed down, "There''s little difference between the champion and runner-up rewards, tempering his edge isn''t a bad thing."


    ...


    "Vikram was defeated in a single encounter?"


    "Dantai Feng has become this strong?" Gong Mi and the white youth ''Salvatore'' on the Spectator Platform also changed their expressions.


    "To instantly slay Vikram, I can''t do it," Salvatore''s gaze narrowed.


    In terms of strength, he was previously the implied number one among the new freshmen at Starfire University.


    But now, it seemed that Dantai Feng was the strongest!


    "Li Yuan, he''s really in trouble," Tian Dazhuang frowned, having come to watch as well.


    It wasn''t just the three of them; many of the top talents from Starry Sky University and Black Stone University who had come to watch also had their expressions change.


    With the level and acumen of these top talents at Fourth Level High Rank,


    Even if they couldn''t immediately discern the subtleties, they could feel the terror exuding from Dantai Feng.


    ..."Sis, you''re saying he has already grasped the Flowing Light Imagery? His mind has been refined to subtlety?" Dongdong''s mouth was agape, in disbelief.


    She hadn''t seen it at all.


    "I can''t be entirely certain, but judging from the outcome, Vikram would not be careless against Dantai Feng and still was instantly killed... There''s a ninety percent chance," Lanyue gently shook her head.


    "Doesn''t that mean Li Yuan is bound to lose?" Dongdong couldn''t help saying.


    "Winning or losing isn''t important now," Lanyue said with a smile.


    Dongdong was stunned, not important to win or lose? Then what was important?


    "What''s important is to see how much Li Yuan can gain."


    "It''s just a virtual battle after all."


    ...


    Dantai Feng had already been transported off the stage.


    "A mind refined to subtlety?" But in Li Yuan''s mind, the blade that had suddenly exploded forth just now was still echoing.


    Li Yuan, who had gone over the video sent by Lanyue dozens of times, clearly remembered the scene where the master exhibited the Flowing Light Imagery.


    The sword like flowing light!


    Brilliant as a river!


    It was strikingly similar to the blade light that Dantai Feng had just displayed.


    The opponent''s strength, already terrifying to the extreme,


    Far surpassed what Li Yuan had anticipated before.


    "The likelihood of my winning¡­" Li Yuan suddenly showed a slight smile, "Good, then it will be a battle without any burden."


    Li Yuan''s mentality was excellent.


    If before he was beset with worries, now that he had recognized the reality, he became even more composed.


    ...


    "What comes next."


    "Is the final match of this ''Ten Schools Freshman Battle'', which will determine the ultimate champion and runner-up," the burly announcer said with a rousing voice, "Their strength, if placed in any of the previous ten editions of the Ten Schools Freshman Battle, stands a great chance of claiming the championship."


    "But today, only one of them is destined to stand on the stage."


    "Please welcome¡ªDantai Feng! Li Yuan!"


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Dantai Feng and Li Yuan, having already selected their weapons, immediately followed from the preparation area into the ring, standing fifty meters apart and facing each other.


    The ten-second countdown began.


    "You''re using a sword and shield? Why not continue with dual swords?" Li Yuan looked at the weapons in Dantai Feng''s hands.


    One hand held a sword, the other a shield.


    It should be noted that all previous opponents had been directly taken down by Dantai Feng with dual swords.


    This was the first conversation between Li Yuan and Dantai Feng in the current new students'' competition among the ten schools.


    The conversation could only be heard by the two of them.


    "The attack of dual swords is stronger, but the defense is much weaker," Dantai Feng said with a rare smile, "Your defense is strong, and I can see that you are very, very close to achieving subtlety."


    "Using dual swords is indeed cooler, but there''s a one percent chance I won''t break through your defense. Once I can''t break through, it becomes troublesome..." Dantai Feng said lightly, "Showing off is only scary when you end up falling flat on your face."


    "As the challenger, you lose, it''s not shameful."


    "If I lose, I lose face big time."


    "So I chose the sword and shield."


    "You don''t have the slightest chance of winning," Dantai Feng said with a laugh. "It might not be as cool, but at least I won''t lose face. When I show off, I only do so with absolute certainty."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile wryly, but he had to admit, Dantai Feng had quite a character.


    He seemed to like the spotlight, but deep down was the word ''steady''.


    Too cautious.


    Despite his skills far surpassing his own, he still chose to take up a shield in the end.


    "Alright," Li Yuan said with a nod and a smile, "then let me see just how strong Xia Country''s number one of our generation really is."


    "Wrong!"


    Dantai Feng gently shook his head, lifting it slightly, "I am not the number one in Xia Country for this generation."


    "But¡ªthe number one in the world for this generation!"


    With that said.


    Dantai Feng adjusted his stance slightly and quietly watched Li Yuan.


    One second, two seconds... The countdown to battle had already ended.


    The spectator platform was boiling over, all the spectators were staring at the two competitors on the stage, watching their ultimate showdown.


    "Why aren''t you attacking?" Dantai Feng finally couldn''t resist.


    "I''m waiting for you."


    Li Yuan also got into a defensive spear stance and shook his head, "If I actively attack you, wouldn''t that be seeking death?"


    Dantai Feng was stunned for a moment, he had met his match.


    In Dantai Feng''s view, whoever acted first would show weakness.


    But he only hesitated for a second.


    "If I keep waiting, others will think I''m scared of Li Yuan, which would do even greater damage to my image of a master." Dantai Feng finally made his move.


    Boom! His figure shot out tens of meters in an instant, like lightning, charging towards Li Yuan.


    "Kill!" Li Yuan gripped his long spear tightly, staring intently at Dantai Feng, and thrust his spear out vigorously.


    The decisive battle erupted.


    ...When they saw the fight finally break out.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Dantai Feng!!"


    "Go for it!" Nearly 800,000 spectators on the spectator platform were utterly fired up, shouting excitedly, their voices shrill.


    Especially the several hundred thousand spectators from Xia Country, to them who won didn''t make much difference, what was important was that the duel was thrilling enough.


    ...


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Dantai Feng held the sword in one hand, with sharp and relentless blade flashes, striking at Li Yuan time and time again.


    "Clang!"


    "Pong~ Pong~" Li Yuan maneuvered the shadow of his long spear with all his might, using his entire body''s vigor.


    While resisting the sword flashes, he side-stepped and retreated quickly, not allowing Dantai Feng to get close.


    Normally, in a duel between spear and sword, the long spear would take the absolute advantage with the initiative to attack.


    A longer reach equates to greater strength.


    However, once the battle truly commenced, Li Yuan found that Dantai Feng''s sword light was exceptionally fast, so fast that it sent shivers down his spine.


    Most importantly, it seemed as if Dantai Feng anticipated each of Li Yuan''s moves, effortlessly blocking all of Li Yuan''s counterattacks.


    Li Yuan was completely suppressed.


    "Subtlety, vigor as delicate as silk." Li Yuan was well aware that it wasn''t that Dantai Feng could truly predict the future.


    It was purely because his realm was higher, his speed and strength faster, that each of his strikes could preemptively counter.


    "Clang~"


    After another collision of sword and spear, Li Yuan was forced to retreat once more.


    "I can''t hold him off! Indeed, I am not his opponent." Li Yuan had completely given up attacking, feeling the dread of the sword light like flowing light.


    A single sword was forcing him to defend with all his might.


    Even to the extent that from beginning to end, Dantai Feng had not yet made use of the shield in his left hand.


    "If Dantai Feng were using dual swords in this battle, I would probably have already lost," Li Yuan thought bitterly, sharply focusing on the terrifying sword lights slicing his way.


    Li Yuan understood that the outcome of today''s battle was no longer of much significance, the opponent''s realm was far superior to his by a wide margin.


    If Dantai Feng had simply pursued victory over him, Li Yuan would already have been defeated in the exchanges of the past dozen moves.


    Then, let this be a trial by combat.


    Boom! Boom!


    Boom! The two exchanged blows like lightning, but for some reason, Dantai Feng continued to suppress Li Yuan without going all out.


    It was as if he was consciously holding back and honing Li Yuan.


    Gradually.


    Li Yuan, who had been mere steps away from a breakthrough in comprehension, suddenly found his mind filled with images of two masters fighting in a video Lin Lanyue had shown him.


    "The spear tip arcs a halo, its shaft like a straight path."


    "Vast as the stars," Li Yuan was completely immersed in the battle, enjoying the fight, and unknowingly, special changes began to appear in the spear technique he executed.


    "That''s it." Li Yuan, vaguely sensing an opportunity, finally grasped that indescribable state.


    At that moment, his mind completely attuned to every corner of his body, he felt the slightest thread of vigor hidden within.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan felt the vigor throughout his body being fully excavated, countless subtle threads of force converging into one. His speed and strength continuously increased, surpassing his past limits.


    His power erupted stronger and stronger.


    The speed of his long spear grew faster and faster.


    "Subtlety! The spear as the stars." Li Yuan had a revelation. His spear technique underwent a complete transformation, displaying the Starfire Five Forms with an entirely different charm.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang!" "Clang!" Li Yuan, who was initially struggling to defend, gradually started to truly fend off Dantai Feng''s sword technique.


    "A breakthrough during battle? He''s actually breaking through?" Dantai Feng''s eyes sparkled with interest: "How intriguing!" S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 168: 142: The Battle of Subtlety, The Curtain Falls (36,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)

    ```


    Boom!


    Boom, boom!! The two clashed like lightning.


    Li Yuan''s long spear vibrated continuously, its movements as rolling stars and dancing dragons and snakes, and had already blocked Dantai Feng''s long sword time and time again.


    Dantai Feng was still attacking with all his might.


    His speed and strength still surpassed Li Yuan''s, but he no longer had an overwhelming advantage.


    Time and time again, his sword attacks were rendered ineffective in front of Li Yuan''s flawless defense.


    "Stellar Realm."


    "The body like a star, the spear like a roaming dragon! This is the Stellar Realm." Dantai Feng felt Li Yuan''s rapid transformation.


    Even as time passed and the exchange went on, relying solely on his sword, not to mention suppressing Li Yuan, Dantai Feng started to feel a trend where he was being pushed back by Li Yuan''s relentless defense and counter-attacks.


    "I thought I was a genius."


    "Never expected there to be someone even more talented than me among my peers." Various thoughts flashed through Dantai Feng''s mind: "What a flashy thing it is, to breakthrough in the midst of battle!"


    "Why haven''t I experienced it?"


    "What if, next time after I breakthrough in technique, I don''t reveal it right away but pretend to breakthrough during a fight? To put on a big show?"


    Dantai Feng was quite composed; he still did not use the shield in his left hand.


    "Fight on!"


    "Fight on!" But Li Yuan was becoming more and more courageous in battle; he had completely transformed.


    Win or lose? Li Yuan didn''t care; he just wanted to fight with all his might.


    Just then, under Dantai Feng''s extreme pressure, Li Yuan defended with all his might, and coupled with days of practicing and comprehending the spear, he who was already on the brink of a breakthrough, finally had an epiphany.


    The most critical aspect was his spiritual power that had reached level 23, which, in terms of subtlety, gave him an enormous advantage.


    It allowed him to take the most crucial step in the midst of battle.


    "Break!"


    Li Yuan''s spear tumbled and suddenly exploded with attack after attack as swift as lightning, switching from defense to a fierce offense, forcing Dantai Feng to retreat step by step.


    Stellar Spear Technique¡ªGalaxy Waterfall!


    The same move, propelled by Li Yuan''s subtlety and full vigor, now had a vastly different power.


    ¡­


    "Stellar Realm! Subtlety!"


    "Did Li Yuan just breakthrough? In such a battle, under such tremendous pressure, he managed to breakthrough?"


    "Incredible."


    "So fast? Didn''t Li Yuan reach Bright Moon Stage just in August? And now he''s close to assaulting Fourth Stage Perfection?"


    "Dantai Feng is in danger."


    In the other Spectator Space, hundreds of watching teachers were completely shaken, staring in shock at the fierce duel on the platform.


    Dantai Feng''s sudden surge was astonishing, but ultimately within their realm of acceptance.


    After all, Dantai Feng has always been seen as a freakishly talented individual; he entered the Fourth Stage High Rank as early as May.


    It''s been some time.


    Successfully attaining Subtlety surprised them, but they could still accept it.


    But Li Yuan? He just broke through in August!


    "This?"


    "Subtlety!" Li Yang and Dean Xu were just as shocked, even a bit dumbfounded.


    That''s right!


    In the previous battle, signs that Li Yuan might grasp the Stellar Realm indeed emerged.


    But signs of understanding and true comprehension are as different as heaven and earth!


    The difference is immense.


    "Can Li Yuan win?" A glimmer of expectation suddenly arose in Li Yang''s heart.


    ¡­


    "Such intense combat."


    "Holy shit!"


    "Is Li Yuan gaining the upper hand now?"


    "The situation is about to reverse."


    "Is Dantai Feng going to lose?" The entire Spectator Platform was in an uproar, everyone''s eyes wide as they watched the scene unfold.


    They couldn''t quite grasp the specifics of the combat skills, but they could understand the general situation.


    Li Yuan, who was originally at an absolute disadvantage, was gradually starting to dominate Dantai Feng.


    At this very moment.


    Most observers couldn''t help but think: Could it be that Dantai Feng was about to follow in the footsteps of Garava and Yu Ming?


    As the past battles had already shown.


    Li Yuan was best known for his defense and counter-attacks; he was definitely the strongest Defender among the new students of the ten schools.


    ¡­


    "Subtlety?"


    "A newcomer from Kunlun Martial University has also achieved Subtlety?" Students from Starfire University and Starry Sky University, all top global talents, were shocked and conflicted.


    They could all see that Li Yuan had made a breakthrough.


    Dantai Feng''s breakthrough was one thing; he was originally one of Starfire University''s top geniuses.


    Li Yuan?


    Before this, many martial arts prodigies from the three top martial schools didn''t even know who he was.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan''s explosive breakthrough amazed everyone watching, shaking all spectators.


    But the battle on the platform, this ''battle of subtlety,'' had already reached a fever pitch.


    The intensity of their fight.


    Finally.


    "Clang!" When Li Yuan thrust his spear like lightning.


    The flash of the sword was half a beat too slow, failing to block the spear''s stab.


    "Thump~" The huge shield shifted horizontally, heavily slamming onto the spear, causing it to deviate from its path.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan was sent flying back, increasing the distance between them, staring intently at Dantai Feng.


    Dantai Feng didn''t pursue his advantage, stopping as well.


    "Why did you help me?" Li Yuan suddenly asked, filled with confusion.


    A moment ago, without Dantai Feng''s extreme pressure, even if he was just a step away from a real breakthrough, he definitely wouldn''t have succeeded.


    In a sense, Dantai Feng had helped him.


    ```


    "Weren''t you the one who helped Dazhuang?" Dantai Feng said with a grin, "I saw that you were on the verge of a breakthrough, so I thought I''d try to give you a hand. I didn''t expect you''d actually make it through."


    "Dazhuang? Tian Dazhuang?" Li Yuan looked puzzled, not immediately catching on.


    How did Dantai Feng know?


    "Dazhuang is one of my best friends at school; we often spar together," Dantai Feng said with a smile: "I know about the help you gave him."


    "You''re a good guy." Dantai Feng handed Li Yuan the metaphorical ''good guy card.''


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, understanding the reason.


    But he still gave Dantai Feng an odd look.


    Besides, Li Yuan recalled that a few days ago, Tian Dazhuang had mentioned sparring with Dantai Feng.


    "But I also said that if I brought a shield, you wouldn''t stand a chance," Dantai Feng said with a smile: "Li Yuan, forcing me to use my shield, you''re definitely the second best in the world this year."


    "Next, I won''t hold back."


    Without waiting for Li Yuan to say more.


    Boom! Dantai Feng erupted once again with a sudden surge in speed, darting towards Li Yuan like lightning, as a blurry slash of his sword fiercely cleaved through the air.


    This cut was vaguely faster than just before.


    "Pfft!"


    Li Yuan''s long spear whistled, attempting to withstand the attack of the sword.


    "Pom~"


    In Dantai Feng''s hand, the shield, like a heavy hammer, suddenly lifted, colliding with the spear tip, then swept horizontally, crossing paths with the spear tip, and forcefully knocking the spear shaft aside.


    Advancing on Li Yuan with the speed of lightning.


    "Boom!" As if anticipating this, Li Yuan fluidly retracted his spear, powering his legs to quickly retreat.


    "Bang~"


    "Pom! Pom!" The participants exchanged blows at lightning speed. Li Yuan, though doing his best to erupt in power and be cautious in defense, found himself totally overpowered by Dantai Feng''s combined sword and shield assault.


    The sword was like a stream of light, swift and fierce as electricity.


    The shield was like a heavy hammer, either smashing or defending.


    With the coordination of sword and shield, Dantai Feng''s strength more than doubled, completely suppressing Li Yuan and forcing him to repeatedly retreat in a disheveled manner, unloading force.


    ...The entire Spectator Platform had become somewhat quieter at this moment.


    A vast number of spectators held their breath watching this scene.


    Nobody had expected.


    That this final battle would reach such a state, after Li Yuan''s unprecedented display of strength.


    Dantai Feng, employing the shield, with the combination of sword and shield, had once again suppressed Li Yuan.


    "Truly formidable."


    "Sword Technique! Shield Technique! Movement Technique! Dantai Feng has reached the Perfection Level of the Fourth Stage, and perhaps he''s nearing his limit," the teachers watched, filled with shock.


    "He''s very close to the Fifth Stage." These teachers all looked on with amazement.


    ...On the stage, Li Yuan struggled to defend and retreated time and time again.


    At this moment.


    Li Yuan realized that it wasn''t Dantai Feng''s Sword Technique that was truly strong, but his Shield Technique.


    In his hands, the shield seemed to come alive, adept in both offense and defense.


    Moreover, after a full explosion of strength, Dantai Feng''s movement technique was clearly much more sophisticated.


    Even with Li Yuan''s comprehension of the Stellar Realm and Subtlety of the mind, he was completely unable to withstand it.


    Subtlety of the mind and improving Spear Technique and Movement Technique to above 90% of the Fourth Stage were two different concepts.


    They required ample time to continue practicing, and what Li Yuan lacked was time.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh!" Another fierce slash came, and Li Yuan raised his spear to defend.


    In the moment of defense. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Dantai Feng''s left hand suddenly released the shield, throwing it like a cannonball, directly flying towards Li Yuan''s chest.


    At close range, the shield was extremely fast.


    So fast that Li Yuan had no time to react.


    "Pom~" Li Yuan felt a terrible force piercing through his armor and jolting his entire body, as he was blasted backwards.


    Whew! Dantai Feng stepped forward in pursuit.


    Whew!


    The sinister gleam of his sword flashed as it followed the shaft of Li Yuan''s spear, which he had barely managed to prop up. Dantai Feng pressed down hard with his sword, slicing past Li Yuan''s face and neck.


    Blood spattered.


    Li Yuan''s figure became translucent.


    "I''ve lost." There wasn''t a trace of disappointment in Li Yuan''s heart; instead, a slight smile emerged: "Subtlety of the mind, I''ve already gained a lot from this battle, and in terms of true strength, I''m certainly not his equal."


    In the end, Li Yuan was rather thankful to Dantai Feng.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan''s figure completely vanished.


    "Truly a monster!"


    "I had to go all out and even risk losing my Flying Shield to defeat him completely," Dantai Feng muttered to himself, "The reports said he was only at the Third Stage of his skills last year?"


    "His progress is much faster than Gong Mi and the others, and faster than mine too."


    "Looks like my position as the world''s number one in our year won''t last long," Dantai Feng shook his head.


    ...


    "Dantai Feng!!"


    "Dantai Feng!" Tens of thousands of spectators on the Spectator Platform were excitedly shouting his name.


    This battle, where both sides pushed themselves to the limit in a fiercely intense fight,


    In the end, Dantai Feng''s full eruptive force won him the victory.


    "Thrilling!" Dantai Feng, hearing the cheers from all around, felt a rush of exhilaration.


    He didn''t care whether Li Yuan would surpass him in the future; at least for today''s battle, he had won.

 Chapter 169: 143: Famous Worldwide after a Single Battle

    With Li Yuan''s defeat, he left the stage.


    Dantai Feng stood alone on the arena, receiving cheers of celebration from hundreds of thousands of spectators, their excitement and shouts filling the air.


    Dantai Feng was truly ecstatic.


    Since he had decided to participate in the Ten Schools'' Freshman War, he had been looking forward to this moment.


    Under normal circumstances, a genius like him wouldn''t have joined the Ten Schools'' Freshman War.


    What was special this time? It wasn''t because the higher-ups at Starfire University had any special considerations.


    It was merely Dantai Feng''s own application, his insistent demand.


    His goal wasn''t to hone himself but simply to enjoy the sensation of being the center of attention.


    Yes, the reason was that simple.


    "Damn it!"


    "That guy''s showing off again." Sitting in the Spectator Platform, Tian Dazhuang watched the scene, grinding his teeth: "He won another 20 million and got Heavenly Materials Treasures too! No, I have to bleed him dry tonight."


    The way Tian Dazhuang thought about getting revenge.


    Was to make Dantai Feng treat him to a big meal.


    ...


    "Whoosh!" Li Yuan also returned to the Spectator Platform, appearing among the Sixth Institute''s freshmen.


    "Senior Brother."


    "Li Yuan." An Nong, Gu Qianghan, Wu Luo, and the other freshmen, even Qiu Jing, Shi Xiao, and other upperclassmen couldn''t help but look at Li Yuan, filled with regret.


    Right!


    For most of the Xia Country spectators, it didn''t matter whether Li Yuan or Dantai Feng won.


    However, naturally, the Kunlun Martial University students wished from their hearts that Li Yuan would win the championship.


    Moreover, in most people''s eyes, Li Yuan was just a little short of winning the final battle.


    "Haha, why are you all looking at me like that?" Li Yuan laughed and said, "Victory and defeat are all common in war, losing is not a disgrace."


    Li Yuan was very composed.


    Victory or defeat? As a Martial Artist who aspired to reach the pinnacle, he was undoubtedly striving for the championship, striving to be number one!


    But he must also recognize that what''s important is the pursuit of being first, not the result.


    Those who seek for the highest, achieve something in between.


    Just like moving from the senior third year to the college entrance exams, Li Yuan asked himself and felt he had given his all; although his scores weren''t the top in the province or the city, he was satisfied.


    The same applied to this Ten Schools'' Freshman War, Li Yuan believed he had gained a lot, and the process had been thoroughly fulfilling.


    Not winning the championship?


    Then he would strive for it next time.


    "Congratulations to Junior Brother Li Yuan for reaching Subtlety." Suddenly, a deep and penetrating voice came from the higher part of the Spectator Platform.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Many people instinctively looked back to see a square-faced young man in a black robe, sitting higher up on the Spectator Platform, his face full of smiles.


    "Jin Huguo."


    "Senior Brother Jin."


    "Senior Brother Jin came to watch too? What did Senior Brother Jin just say, Subtlety? Has Li Yuan''s skill advanced to achieve Fourth Level Perfection?" The thousands of Kunlun Martial University students were all astir, shocked as they stared at Li Yuan, then looked toward Senior Brother Jin.


    "Senior Brother Jin." Li Yuan also smiled.


    Jin Huguo''s name was one he had been hearing since he entered the university.


    It resonated like thunder.


    Today was the first time the two men met, even if it was just a virtual meeting.


    "This battle was really wonderful," Jin Huguo said with a smile: "Let''s work hard together for the Global University Martial Path Contest in February next year."


    "Yes! Let''s work hard together." Li Yuan also smiled.


    As far as he knew, Jin Huguo had already achieved Subtlety in the first semester of his sophomore year.


    A year had passed, how strong Jin Huguo had become was unknown.


    But for now, Li Yuan was clear that he was no match for Jin Huguo.

    "Congratulations to Dantai Feng for winning the championship."


    The muscular host''s high-spirited voice echoed in the expansive dueling space: "And congratulations to Li Yuan for winning the runner-up."


    "Thank you both for bringing us an incredibly exciting final battle in this year''s Ten Schools'' Freshman War, which is undoubtedly the most thrilling peak showdown since the Ten Schools'' Freshman War shifted to ''virtual combat'' in 2009."


    "Without a doubt."


    "I believe, for many years to come, the finals of future Ten Schools'' Freshman Wars will be compared to today''s battle."


    "I am even more convinced that both of them will shine in the upcoming Global University Martial Path Contest, and even in the Elite Martial Path Battles of humanity!"


    "I hereby announce...the 2043 Ten Schools'' Freshman War has come to an end."


    With that, the Ten Schools'' Freshman War concluded.


    Boom!


    The entire Spectator Platform erupted in fervent cheering, with students from various countries and schools spontaneously giving applause.


    Everyone had to admit that this year''s Ten Schools'' Elite Battle had indeed brought forth many martial arts prodigies.


    Especially the clash between Li Yuan and Dantai Feng, Li Yuan''s breakthrough during the fight, and Dantai Feng being pushed to reveal his full strength, could be called classic.


    Eventually, Dantai Feng won the first place, with Li Yuan taking second.


    ...


    In a higher-level Spectator Space.


    "The battle of Subtlety."


    "Unexpectedly, in a freshman fight, one could witness a battle where both participants reached Subtlety, it''s too rare."


    "In the history of the Ten Schools'' Freshman War virtual battles, this is the first time."


    "Even in the annual December ''Three Schools Freshman Clash'' of Starfire, Starry Sky, and Black Stone, it often takes years before such a battle occurs."


    "Freshmen achieving Subtlety? And suddenly, two of them appeared, it''s too rare." Many teachers discussed, all feeling astonished and emotional.


    Such talents are hard to come by on Blue Star, maybe one can emerge in a year.


    "Both of them have the talent to ascend to Flying Heaven stature."


    "Dantai Feng is stronger than we imagined, just one step away from entering the Fifth Stage, and might break through before February next year."


    "It''s hard to say."


    "From Subtlety to Unity of Heaven and Man, it''s extremely difficult to cross, but there is indeed hope."


    "In Xia Country, since Yu Jinghe, there might not be many who can compare with Dantai Feng."


    "Dantai Feng is strong, but Li Yuan is even more frightening."

 Chapter 170: 143: Famous Worldwide after a Single Battle_2

    "Looking at his data, in just over a year, he leaped from the initial stage of Third Rank all the way to the Perfection of Fourth Level, the speed of his progress is simply shocking."


    "Li Yuan''s rate of progress is exaggerating."


    "The future holds infinite possibilities. It''s hard to say how far they''ll go in the future; all we can do is wish them well."


    ...


    Less than half an hour after the duel ended,


    a special space within the virtual network called ''Starry Sky University'' was where only the students of Starry Sky University could access.


    Over 200 freshmen of Starry Sky Martial Arts University arrived in this conference room in their consciousness.


    Lin Lanyue and Wu Dongdong, they all came.


    "What did the teacher suddenly call us here for?"


    "I don''t know." Many freshmen from Starry Sky Martial University are still clueless, full of doubts.


    Although the news of the freshmen''s battle of the ten schools spread, most of the new students from the top three elite martial schools don''t pay much attention to it.


    In their view, what''s so interesting about a league of some ordinary Martial Arts Universities?


    It''s a waste of time.


    Soon, a huge light screen appeared in front of these students, showing the scene where Dantai Feng and Li Yuan were fighting.


    "What''s this?"


    Many students were puzzled at first but soon fell silent, and eventually, most of them, with their keen eyesight, could sense the terrifying strength both fighters were unleashing.


    Whoosh!


    The teacher of Starry Sky Martial Arts University finally appeared.


    "Some of you may have just watched this battle live, but most of you are probably seeing it for the first time," said the teacher with an icy voice, "One of them is named Dantai Feng, the top freshman of Starfire University."


    "The other is Li Yuan, a freshman from Xia Country Martial Arts University."


    "Both of them have reached the Subtlety of the mind!!" The teacher declared, word by word.


    Dead silence.


    Almost all the faces of the students of Starry Sky Martial University showed a look of shock.


    Subtlety of the mind?


    "Remember, do not think that by entering Starry Sky University, you can look down on others, never think that you are the chosen ones!!" The teacher''s voice was harsh, "None of you here can be confident in defeating Dantai Feng."


    "Who here is sure they can beat Li Yuan?"


    Silence.


    "Some students can only take pride in their school," said the teacher coldly, "but some students make the school proud of them."


    "If you still don''t wake up and put in the effort, your cohort of students is destined to be trampled under Dantai Feng''s feet."


    "Maybe even by Li Yuan of Kunlun Martial University."


    "That''s all I have to say, meeting adjourned!" The teacher disappeared instantly.


    In the conference room, over two hundred freshmen from Starry Sky Martial University looked at each other.


    "Subtlety of the mind?"


    "Li Yuan? A student of Kunlun Martial University is this strong?"


    "I''ve heard of him."


    "Indeed formidable, much stronger than me." The new students of Starry Sky Martial University felt challenged.


    Because this year, there are fewer than ten freshmen at Starry Sky Martial University who have reached the high ranks of Fourth Level.


    None of them have reached the Subtlety of the mind.


    ...


    A similar scene took place in Black Stone University, Starfire University, and some other Martial Arts Universities.


    "Aside from Dantai Feng!"


    "Can any of you defeat Li Yuan? Yu Ming lost, Gong Mi, can you handle it if you go up?"


    ...


    "See that?"


    "Li Yuan is a student of Kunlun Martial University, but he can still defeat the top prodigy of Starfire Martial University."


    "If you''re not strong enough, then train. Don''t blame the school. Even staying at Jiangbei Martial University, you still have the hope to become a Prime Warrior, or even a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    ...


    In an extremely short amount of time,


    Li Yuan''s name was truly remembered by a large number of freshmen in universities across the globe, as well as by older students in their second or third year.


    They all knew.


    Li Yuan, a freshman from Kunlun Martial University, had achieved the ''Subtlety of the Mind'' within months of enrollment and was now among the top three skills of freshmen globally.


    His fame spread far and wide after a single battle.


    ...


    All of this, Li Yuan was not too aware of, and he wouldn''t care even if he knew.


    "Spear Technique! Skill."


    "Stellar Realm." Li Yuan exited the virtual network, sitting in the cabin, still pondering the gains from his last battle.


    "Ultimately, my realm is not enough."


    ```


    "His sword technique, shield technique, and movement technique are all nearly at the Fourth Level limit, comprehensively suppressing me," Li Yuan summarized his experiences and lessons learned.


    "And movement technique."


    "If my movement technique were strong enough, I wouldn''t be in such a sorry state. I need to focus on training my movement technique to make up for this weakness," Li Yuan thought.


    Deciding whether one is first is meaningless.


    Summarizing experiences, reflecting, and striving to become stronger are what one should do.


    From junior high to high school, and then to the recruiting activities in Jiangbei, the college entrance exam, Li Yuan rarely took first place.


    But he had always been progressing.


    Unknowingly, he had surpassed and left behind far each of his former competitors.


    Now, he stands among the top tier of new college freshmen worldwide.


    ...


    After some thought, Li Yuan went to the underground martial arts room, took out his long spear, and quietly began to practice.


    "Stellar Illumination!"


    "Galaxy Waterfall!"


    "Daybreak Piercing the Clouds!" Each technique of the Stellar Spear Technique was executed by Li Yuan, manifesting great power and an enduring majesty, like the ceaseless motion of the stars in the heavens.


    This is the Stellar Realm!


    Time passed.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has improved from Fourth Level 85% to Fourth Level 86%]


    [Your Spear Technique realm has improved from Fourth Level 86% to Fourth Level 88%]


    ...One after another, the Divine Palace panel notifications flashed by.


    He practiced intensely for more than three hours.


    It wasn''t until after two in the afternoon that Li Yuan finally stopped, feeling that he had thoroughly thought through the insights gained from the battle.


    "Next, I''ll further practice and strive to reach 99% at the Fourth Level as soon as possible with my spear technique, movement technique, and fist technique," Li Yuan said to himself. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The insights into the realm were there.


    What remained was the time-consuming effort of repeatedly practicing and contemplating, to completely integrate these insights into his body.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, the school teacher ''Li Yang'' is waiting outside your villa," the voice of the smart home system unexpectedly resounded in the martial arts room.


    "Li Yang, why didn''t he just message me..." Li Yuan suddenly realized, "I left my smart wristband in the resting room."


    He had been so immersed in practicing spear technique, Li Yuan hadn''t thought about anything else.


    Quickly.


    Li Yuan hurried upstairs and opened the front door.


    "You''ve made a breakthrough and now you''re too proud to even reply to a teacher''s message?" Li Yang teased with a smile.


    Li Yuan looked embarrassed: "Teacher, I got so caught up with spear practice that I forgot."


    "Ha ha, I''m just teasing you. I guessed as much when you didn''t respond to my message," Li Yang laughed, "After a breakthrough in battle, you must have a lot of insights; naturally, practicing is the most important thing, which is why I only came now."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    "You did very well in today''s competition. Among this year''s freshmen, other than Dantai Feng, I suppose nobody else could beat you," Li Yang said with a smile.


    "Second in the world?" Li Yuan was somewhat taken aback.


    "What else?"


    "Do you think there are many freshmen who have reached Subtlety in their mentality?" Li Yang said with a smile.


    "No, I just thought there would be two or three," Li Yuan shrugged.


    "There might be some hiding their strength, but as far as anyone can see, it''s only you and Dantai Feng," Li Yang laughed, "Reaching Subtlety isn''t that easy."


    "I didn''t reach Subtlety until after I became a Prime Warrior," Li Yang said with a hint of emotion, looking at Li Yuan, "I don''t even know how you''ve been training."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    "In any case, it''s a good thing," Li Yang said with a smile, "Come on, follow me."


    "Teacher, what for?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "To choose a treasure," Li Yang replied, raising an eyebrow, "You can pick a Heavenly Materials Treasure for reaching the top four, don''t you want it?"


    "Of course I want it," Li Yuan said immediately.


    How could he possibly not want it?


    ...


    Inside the Heilong Building, in the twelve-story dean''s office, to be exact, in that small and empty martial arts room.


    A light screen projection appeared.


    "Yang Xian, have you watched the video? What do you think?" asked the handsome young man in blue, smiling at the young woman on the screen.


    "Pretty good."


    "Li Yuan''s progress is much faster than I had expected," came a cold voice.


    "What do you think of my suggestion?" Dean Hai asked indifferently.


    "Fine."


    "Within a day, his Martial Hall contract will be upgraded to S-grade," the young woman said flatly, "And the ten units of ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal'' I promised will also be delivered."


    ```

 Chapter 171: 144: Fist Strength 15,000 Kilograms

    After hanging up with Lord Yang of the Province, Dean Hai sat in the Martial Arts Room, eyes closed in thought.


    Gradually,


    at Dean Hai''s body surface, a faint blue light began to wriggle, the glow containing strands of strange power, shrouding his entire person in a hazy brilliance.


    It was quite dazzling, as if a divine being had descended to the world.


    Before long.


    "Dean Hai, Li Yuan has arrived," Li Yang''s slightly respectful voice came from the door.


    "Let Li Yuan come in," Dean Hai opened his eyes, and the blue radiance enveloping his body quickly retracted and dispersed, his whole presence returning to normal.


    There was a sound of light footsteps outside the door.


    Li Yuan walked into the small Martial Arts Room, greeting with due respect, "Dean Hai."


    Li Yuan had immense respect for Flying Heaven Warriors in his heart.


    "Come and sit down, don''t be restrained," Dean Hai said indifferently.


    "Yes," Li Yuan walked over and sat down as honestly as last time.


    Li Yang then closed the door.


    The room fell silent.


    "I watched your match with Dantai Feng," Dean Hai said with a gentle look and a hint of a smile, "Your performance was surprising, not only to President Li and Dean Xu, but even to me."


    "Your excellence exceeded our expectations."


    "You flatter me," Li Yuan replied in succession.


    "No flattery, I never exaggerate when I give praise," Dean Hai said with a light smile, "At just eighteen, your skills have reached Subtlety...At least in my more than ten years as head of the Sixth Institute, besides you, I haven''t seen another student from the school achieve this."


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    "The better you perform, the more attention you will receive, so don''t be afraid to show your strength," Dean Hai said with a slight smile, "This time, in the ten-school freshman battle, you ranked second and qualified for a ''Heavenly Materials Treasures'' reward."


    "Although the top four all can receive a reward, the higher the ranking, the better the reward."


    "Now, let''s proceed with the selection."


    Dean Hai tapped on his smart ring, and a light curtain projection appeared.


    Following that.


    Whoosh~ In the Martial Arts Room, a multitude of lights converged, forming a huge light curtain over three meters in length and over two meters in height right in front of Li Yuan.


    There were numerous texts and patterns on it.


    "High Origin Treasures, Transformation Treasures, Body Cultivation Treasures, Origin Power Secret Treasures, Spiritual Treasures, Poison Treasures, Creature Hatchlings, Mineral Resources, Treasures of Unknown Effects..." Li Yuan glanced over and immediately saw a multitude of treasure classifications.


    It was exceedingly complex.


    There were many terms that Li Yuan didn''t understand the meaning of.


    "The so-called Heavenly Materials Treasures are the rare wonders nurtured by the heavens and earth."


    "The nurturing of these treasures largely requires a ''High Origin Environment'', that is, an environment with a high concentration of Origin Power," Dean Hai explained, seemingly noticing Li Yuan''s confusion, "Our entire Seven Star Sea initially had no Origin Power... Hence, the Heavenly Materials Treasures originating from our Seven Star Sea are very rare."


    Li Yuan listened intently, these were secrets he had not known before.


    "Many Foreign Civilizations, the worlds they live in, have far higher concentrations of Origin Power than ours, so they give birth to many rare and precious treasures."


    "Even the continuous nurturing by Origin Power over many generations has allowed the beings of many Foreign Civilizations to naturally possess great strength, like the Black Dragon I mentioned to you before, and even stronger creatures. Essentially, it''s for this reason," Dean Hai explained patiently.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    "There are even more special regions." S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The Star Realm," Dean Hai continued, "As the special area where different civilizations'' spaces converge, it has allowed many Star Realms to nurture incredible treasures... This is also why a multitude of Foreign Civilizations want to wage wars with our human civilization in the various Star Realms."


    "Fundamentally, it is a competition for resources."


    "Like the multitude of ordinary Martial Artists, the Qi-blood potions, Origin Power Essence Pills, etc., they consume, the raw materials mostly come from some Star Realms we control," Dean Hai said indifferently.


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    Some of the information he had heard of before, but much of it was new to him.


    "Also, the raw materials for things like the ''High Origin Spirit Spring'' you''ve consumed are similar, as well as some special metals, like the ''Origin Power Battle Garment'' that Prime Warriors rely on most," Dean Hai said, "All of these, essentially, are Heavenly Materials Treasures."


    "It''s just that many treasures have become common and are not considered precious by the public. To be precise, the ones you''ve encountered, such as Origin Power Essence Pills, First Rank Qi-blood potions, Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, etc., they all fall under First Rank treasures."


    "Whereas, the High Origin Spirit Spring, Divine-Nurturing Spring belong to Second Rank treasures."


    "Third Rank treasures, which many people recognize as ''Heavenly Materials Treasures'', are very rare and mostly difficult to produce in stable quantities," Dean Hai said softly, "The Bai Marrow Nurturing Elixir that you''ve encountered is a Marrow Cleansing rarity, ranking as a Third Rank treasure."


    Li Yuan was enlightened.


    So, the Bai Marrow Nurturing Elixir was considered a Third Rank treasure, no wonder it was much more valuable than the High Origin Spirit Spring and the like.


    "Third Rank treasures are limited in quantity, and many are rarely seen even within our human civilization, possessing extremely special effects," Dean Hai said, "Among the Third Rank treasures, their value also varies greatly."


    "The most precious ones, like the Transformation Fruit, just one piece can enable an ordinary person to directly transform into a Prime Warrior," Dean Hai said, "Like the Divine Soul Nine Turns Fruit, it can make an ordinary person''s spiritual power directly transform to level 29."


    "If a Flying Heaven Warrior used them, they would also greatly benefit."


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    Transformation Fruit? What kind of insane thing is that, turning someone into a Prime Warrior just like that?


    And the Divine Soul Nine Turns Fruit is even more outrageous, spiritual power directly to level 29?


    After all his hard work and cultivation, his spiritual power had only reached level 23.


    To reach level 29, who knew how long it would take.


    "Don''t even think about it; these items are extinct, having only appeared a few times in history," Dean Hai said with a smile, "Their value is hundreds, thousands of times that of a single Bai Marrow Nurturing Elixir... They are not something you can exchange for with money."

 Chapter 172: 144: Fist Strength 15,000 Kilograms_2

    Li Yuan was at a loss for words, with nothing to say.


    Money is very important, but it serves as a measure for the value of common items.


    For some rare treasures, or those that can attract the topmost powerful individuals of human civilization... money carries little significance.


    What can be measured in terms of money, mostly pertains to treasures that can be continuously produced and have a stable supply.


    "This time, you can choose a Third Rank treasure," Dean Hai said, "but there is a cap on its value, the cheaper the selection, the larger the quantity."


    "The more expensive, the lesser the quantity," Dean Hai pointed at the myriad of options on the screen.


    "I hope for guidance from the Dean," Li Yuan said politely.


    How could he choose the most correct among these treasures, when he had only heard of one or two by chance?


    "If you were to ask me, then it would be the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal," Dean Hai said indifferently.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Wasn''t this the Heavenly Materials Treasure that Lord Yang of the Province had promised to him?


    "Heard of it?" Dean Hai smiled.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, "The contract with the Martial Hall includes a clause stating that if I reach the Fifth Level before the age of 20, the contract will be upgraded to S-rank, and such a treasure will be gifted to me."


    There was no need to hide such a secret from Dean Hai.


    "The Marrow Crystal is a rare treasure nurtured by the heavens and earth, with many wonderful uses, such as strengthening the body, nurturing the younger generation, enlarging the divine soul, recovering from injuries... Its uses are extremely broad," Dean Hai explained, "and its types are numerous as well."


    "Your practice of the ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique'' is very much in line with this method, so the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal should be the most suitable for you,"


    "For a normal Martial Path genius, they possess High Rank Cultivation Methods, and choosing a Heavenly Materials Treasure that enlarges spiritual power is the best option."


    "But you do not need that."


    "On the contrary, your body is most in need of it for transformation and growth," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Of course, this is my suggestion, the actual choice is up to you."


    "I will follow the Dean''s advice," Li Yuan immediately said.


    Advice?


    When a leader gives a suggestion, it''s best to take it as an order, or else a suggestion becomes just an opinion.


    Besides, Li Yuan also felt that what Dean Hai said made sense.


    "Alright."


    Dean Hai nodded slightly, "You''re ranked second this time, which allows you to exchange for eight units of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal."


    "This item cannot be kept at your residence for safety reasons; you should apply in advance each time you use it and utilize it in a specialized room within the Vermilion Bird Building." Dean Hai continued, "I will have it arranged."


    "Not safe?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "You could have several million or tens of millions of Blue Star Coins in your card without attracting envy," Dean Hai said calmly, "but these Heavenly Materials Treasures are physical items, easily sold for upwards of a hundred million Blue Star Coins... If given directly to you, should someone learn of it, there is no guarantee they won''t harbor ill intentions."


    "It''s bad enough if the treasure can''t be safeguarded, but your life might also be at risk."


    "Remember, never test the hearts of others."


    "Yes," Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart.


    That was true.


    If he were to lose a treasure worth over a hundred million Blue Star Coins... the key concern was his personal safety.


    "There''s one more thing,"


    "Today or tomorrow, the Starfire Martial Hall should contact you to upgrade the contract from A-rank to S-rank," Dean Hai spoke softly, "The promised Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, equivalent to ten units, will also be prepared for you."


    "As for the specifics, wait for someone from the Starfire Martial Hall to contact you."


    "S-rank contract with the Martial Hall?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    He had received no news of this, how did the Dean know?


    "Any other questions?" Dean Hai asked, "If not, you may go."


    Questions?


    After pondering for a while.


    "Dean, if someone has suffered severe bodily harm, resulting in a shortened expected lifespan, is there a Third Rank treasure that can extend one''s life?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "Your uncle?" Dean Hai asked with a faint smile.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    "I have read through all your files," Dean Hai said calmly, "Yes, there are several kinds."


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    "The value is considerable, and your uncle has been stricken with Flame Erosive Bone Poison... While it seems that the High Origin Spirit Spring has cleared the toxins, it''s just a superficial fix...


    Too fragile for supplements, many rare treasures would actually cause side effects if used, potentially backfiring," Dean Hai continued, "One that works exceptionally well and is relatively common is the ''Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit''; it is the best at countering the Flame Erosive Bone Poison."


    "With it, your uncle can completely recover, without any hidden dangers, and his expected lifespan could exceed 120 years."


    "Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit? An expected lifespan of over 120 years?" Li Yuan was thrilled.


    It was indeed true!


    Different strengths bring different perspectives.


    Uncle Wan knew nothing of these, only rumors, but as a Flying Heaven Warrior, Dean Hai could provide the perfect remedy.


    "This item."


    "If measured in terms of money, it is worth at least ten billion Blue Star Coins,"


    "And you''d still have to find the right opportunity to purchase it," Dean Hai spoke slowly, "after all, restoring vitality is not its primary purpose; many powerful Martial Artists need it."


    Ten billion Blue Star Coins? Li Yuan felt his heart sink.


    That''s really expensive!


    "Thank you, Dean, for the information," Li Yuan said; regardless, he was relieved to finally have some clues.


    "That''s right."


    "Your spiritual power has surpassed level 20, and you can choose a Spiritual Secret Manual, ''Spirit Concentration Technique,'' to start practicing," Dean Hai suddenly spoke up, "Wait until you become a Prime Warrior and your spiritual power exceeds level 25 before you practice more spiritual secret manuals."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    After Li Yuan left, the door gently closed.


    "Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit?" Dean Hai muttered to himself before closing his eyes once again.


    He silently resumed his cultivation.


    With Dean Hai''s strength and wealth, procuring such treasures wasn''t difficult.


    However, he wouldn''t do so.


    Even if a Flying Heaven Warrior took a fancy to Li Yuan, none would make such an investment.


    A treasure worth over a billion Blue Star Coins, just to save an ordinary person? And not even for saving a life, but for extending it?


    This went beyond the conventional meaning of ''cultivation'' and ''investment support.''


    ...


    Soon after returning to his villa,


    Li Yuan received a notice from the school, as well as a bank transfer notification.


    "Eight units of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal to be stored in the ''school treasury''?" Li Yuan read through the document, "If I want to use them, I have to apply one day in advance each time?"


    "They will arrange a special room?" Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Li Yuan had to admit that Kunlun Martial University''s arrangements were very reasonable and the safest.


    As for the other bank transfer notification,


    it was the ''20 million'' Blue Star Coins reward from the Ten Schools Freshmen competition.


    "It will keep me worry-free about money for the next several months," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    Immediately,


    his eyes swept over the many messages from classmates and friends on his smart bracelet.


    Most were inquiring or congratulating him on his achievements in the Ten Schools Freshmen competition.


    People like Tian Dazhuang and Li Tianyou had sent messages.


    After replying to each one,


    "I''ll continue my spear practice," Li Yuan put down the smart bracelet and silently resumed his spear technique practice.


    "Subtlety is a realm,"


    "As long as I continue to cultivate and comprehend, my Spear Technique and Fist Technique will quickly break through the 90% bottleneck of the Fourth Level," Li Yuan thought to himself, "When the Fist Technique crosses into 90% of the Fourth Level, the evolution efficiency of my body will increase significantly."


    "Level 14?"


    "I should be able to reach it within a week," Li Yuan was filled with anticipation.


    Once he reached level 14, he would be able to perform Spiritual Guidance.


    ...


    He practiced continuously until after 8 o''clock at night, having consumed a High Origin Spirit Spring in the middle of his session.


    Li Yuan finally stopped, glancing at an entry on the Divine Palace panel out of the corner of his eye:


    Skill Realms: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 91%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 84%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 91%)


    Within a day''s time.


    He had finally achieved a real breakthrough. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Subtlety! Now, my skills can truly be said to have reached the Perfection of the Fourth Level, and if I were to face Dantai Feng now, it would be even harder for him to win against me," Li Yuan slightly closed his eyes, his spirit sensing throughout his body.


    The powerful spiritual power seemed to perfectly merge and unite with every muscle, flesh, and bone.


    Several deeply hidden injuries, minor flesh wounds from previous cultivation,


    were all crystal clear at that moment.


    If one didn''t reach ''Subtlety,'' these injuries would gradually accumulate, affecting bodily progress and even expected lifespan.


    But now, with a single thought from Li Yuan, all the minor hidden injuries began to heal.


    Over the next few days, Li Yuan''s body would become more vigorous and robust.


    One could say,


    that without any treasures, every Martial Artist who had achieved Subtlety could maintain their body''s functions at their peak for a long period.


    "Vigor!" Li Yuan arrived at the Fist Strength testing area, concentrating and calming his spirit.


    Suddenly, he threw a fierce punch.


    As he erupted, the countless minute strands of vigor throughout his muscles and flesh were instantly mobilized by the power of his spirit.


    Whoosh!


    His fist smashed fiercely onto the huge testing sandbag.


    "Thump!" A muffled explosion sounded.


    Instantly.


    The screen above the Fist Strength testing area clearly displayed: "15,224 kilograms (action qualified)."

 Chapter 173: 145 Starfire S-Class Contract

    ```


    "Fist strength burst, actually directly exceeded 15,000 kilograms?" Li Yuan''s eyes shone with a glint.


    ```


    ```


    That was already equivalent to a force burst of 15 tons.


    ```


    ```


    This, has far surpassed the baseline fist strength requirement for a level 15 martial artist.


    ```


    ```


    "However, the quality of this punching bag is good; even after being struck with a force exceeding 15 tons, it''s not even slightly damaged." Li Yuan laughed.


    ```


    ```


    About this, he wasn''t surprised.


    ```


    ```


    After all, each villa''s basement was built with a special fist strength testing ground that could withstand the full-force impact of a level 19.9 martial artist.


    ```


    ```


    A level 19.9 martial artist, with a normal burst of a punch, could easily exceed 60,000 kilograms.


    ```


    ```


    One can only imagine how expensive this seemingly ordinary punching bag was.


    ```


    ```


    "Let''s try the burst speed."


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan quickly activated the numerous instruments on the speed testing track and then positioned himself at the start of the runway.


    ```


    ```


    Deep breath.


    ```


    ```


    The vigor throughout his body circulated, his mind perception reached subtlety, and countless fine streams of power were once again mobilized.


    ```


    ```


    "Boom!"


    ```


    ```


    Just like a vehicle bursting to its top speed in an instant, Li Yuan suddenly sprinted forward like a fleeting shadow, the forty-meter-long track passed in a mere flash.


    ```


    ```


    "Bang~" Li Yuan crashed heavily against the cushioned wall at the end of the track.


    ```


    ```


    "Beep~!"


    ```


    ```


    On the electronic screen beside the wall, Li Yuan''s burst speed numbers suddenly appeared¡ª "53 meters per second!"


    ```


    ```


    Another terrifying figure.


    ```


    ```


    "Is it really that fast?" Li Yuan''s pupils constricted slightly, and he couldn''t help feeling waves of joy in his heart.


    ```


    ```


    A level 15 martial artist''s standard fist strength is 12,000 kilograms, and the standard burst speed is 50 meters per second.


    ```


    ```


    A level 16 martial artist''s standard fist strength is 18,000 kilograms, and the standard burst speed is 60 meters per second.


    ```


    ```


    "Does that mean, once my mind reaches subtlety and mobilizes the numerous fine forces hidden within my muscles and bones, the speed and power I burst out with are already on par with a level 15.5 martial artist?" Li Yuan sighed to himself, "But according to the Divine Palace panel, my life level is clearly only 13.9, and my fist strength is just over 7,000 kilograms."


    ```


    ```


    The power burst had increased by roughly twice the standard state.


    ```


    ```


    It was simply too exaggerated.


    ```


    ```


    At this moment, Li Yuan truly understood the real meaning of ''mind reaching subtlety.''


    ```


    ```


    What he had heard and seen in the past was nothing compared to actually experiencing it.


    ```


    ```


    "My fourth level high rank technique, when bursting out, surpasses the standard fist strength by forty percent." Li Yuan sighed to himself, "Once it reaches fourth level perfection, it could exceed by more than one hundred percent."


    ```


    ```


    "No wonder."


    ```


    ```


    "During my battle with Dantai Feng, he suppressed me with just a knife, and once he used his shield, I was utterly at a disadvantage." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    ```


    ```


    Just in terms of the burst of power and speed, Dantai Feng was way stronger than Li Yuan.


    ```


    ```


    "If the transition from third stage perfection to fourth level is a qualitative change."


    ```


    ```


    "Then from fourth level high rank to fourth level perfection is likewise a qualitative change." Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    ```


    ```


    Techniques of the first, second, and third stages are gradually integrating the body''s vigor, unleashing the body''s strength.


    ```


    ```


    From the third stage high rank, one begins to excavate deeper levels of bodily strength, and the manifestation is a burst of speed and power that is stronger than the standard fist strength at the same life level.


    ```


    ```


    The fourth stage brings even greater improvement.


    ```


    ```


    When it reaches fourth level perfection, it pushes the excavation of the body''s potential to its limit.


    ```


    ```


    "However, a sudden burst cannot last long, and the limit burst of power and speed brought by reaching the subtlety of the mind can''t be sustained for too long." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Otherwise, it would severely damage the body."


    ```


    ```


    This point.


    ```


    ```


    On the Spear Technique Manual, there''s a special mention: Reaching subtlety is never for long, and routine practice should mainly nurture the body.


    ```


    ```


    Whew!


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan returned to the center of the Martial Arts Room, picked up his long spear again, and held it in one hand.


    ```


    ```


    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" The long spear danced like a great river, endless and uninterrupted.


    ```


    ```


    "The human body is just like a precise machine."


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan thought to himself, "When a machine operates, there must always be a redundancy design to ensure that if one part gets damaged, the whole machine can continue to function."


    ```


    ```


    "The human body is the same."


    ```


    ```


    "The countless minute forces hidden in the muscles and bones may seem unused to the average person, but they are essentially redundancy, the potential of life, there to protect the body." Li Yuan was very clear about this, "Warriors who reach subtlety can mobilize all subtle forces to battle, which indeed makes them powerful."


    ```


    ```


    "But essentially, they are bursting with life potential, putting the body into overdrive and, if sustained for too long, could have lethal effects on various bodily functions and organs."


    ```


    ```


    It was like some news reports.


    ```


    ```


    An old man, in a moment of danger, suddenly lifted an object much heavier than normal, but died shortly afterwards.


    ```


    ```


    The underlying reason is that in that moment, the old man entered a special ''mind reaching subtlety'' state, bursting with hidden life potential.


    ```


    ```


    But with no control over this burst, excessive exertion can very easily lead to bodily collapse and rapid demise.


    ```


    ```


    "Warriors who reach subtlety."


    ```


    ```


    "Firstly, they can control this power; secondly, they can continuously adjust and repair various hidden injuries." Li Yuan sighed to himself, "Thus, occasionally bursting at full power won''t have too much of an impact."


    ```


    ```


    With Li Yuan''s current strength.


    ```


    ```


    "In a ''reaching subtlety'' state, my power and speed are comparable to a level 15.5 martial artist. Coupled with the advantage of my skills, I should be able to compete with a normal level 16.5-17 martial artist." Li Yuan made a rough judgment. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ```


    ```


    ''So-called normal martial artists,'' from level 15 to 20, typically have techniques of intermediate or high rank of the third stage.


    ```


    ```


    And if not normal?


    ```


    ```


    For instance, Kunlun Martial University students who can cultivate to level 17 by their junior year generally possess fourth level techniques and are truly considered ''elite.''


    ```


    ```


    For the current Li Yuan to win against them would basically be daydreaming.


    ```


    ```


    ...


    ```


    ```


    Past nine o''clock, as the night grew deeper and Li Yuan was still pondering spear techniques, suddenly.


    ```


    ```


    "Beep~"


    ```


    ```


    "Master, Wan Qinghe requests a video communication." The assistant AI suddenly spoke up, "Would you like to answer?"


    ```


    ```


    This startled Li Yuan from his practice.


    ```


    ```


    "Uncle Wan?" Li Yuan felt a moment of confusion before he remembered what Dean Hai had said during the day.


    ```


    Could it really have come?


    "Answer," said Li Yuan immediately.


    Drip~ Countless beams of light converged, instantly forming a light screen projection in the Martial Arts Room.


    In the light screen, an office scene emerged, featuring a robed elder and a middle-aged man in Tang attire.


    "Grandfather Fei, Lord Wan," Li Yuan greeted with a slight bow.


    He hadn''t forgotten Uncle Wan''s advice¡ªto address by official titles at work.


    It was better not to make Elder Fei feel that Li Yuan was closer to Uncle Wan than to him.


    Nevertheless, Li Yuan''s heart brimmed with gratitude towards Fei Qian and Wan Qinghe.


    No matter their original intentions.


    Judging by results, not by intentions, they had truly helped him considerably, and that was undeniable.


    "Haha, Li Yuan, long time no see," Fei Qian said, pleased with Li Yuan''s way of addressing him. "It seems that you''re still training late at night. We haven''t disturbed your practice, have we?"


    "No," Li Yuan said with a smile. "I was just about to rest."


    "Haha, good, we haven''t caused any trouble then."


    Fei Qian laughed and said, "Your performance in the freshmen battle at the ten schools today was very good. Both Lord Wan and I know about it; even Lord Yang of the Province knows."


    "Grandfather Fei, my apologies," Li Yuan immediately smiled. "I should have reported to Lord Wan first."


    "Haha, what''s there to apologise for?"


    "I planned to communicate with you tomorrow, but considering the importance, I decided to inform you straight away," Fei Qian laughed and said. "Lord Yang of the Province has issued an order, in light of your excellent performance since entering university."


    "Your contract with the Martial Hall is hereby officially upgraded from A-level to S-level starting today," Fei Qian announced solemnly.


    S-level?


    Li Yuan''s eyes brightened slightly. Dean Hai indeed hadn''t deceived him; likely, he had worked things out with the upper echelons of Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Li Yuan, the contract has been sent to you," Wan Qinghe finally spoke up. "Have a look."


    Drip~


    The smart ring on Li Yuan''s wrist vibrated, and he promptly looked down to check. It was a document sent by Wan Qinghe.


    "Take a look first," said Fei Qian with a smile. "The S-level contract is slightly different from your previous A-level contract."


    "Yes." Involved in his own vital interests, Li Yuan no longer stood on ceremony.


    He tapped on his smart ring, and a small light screen popped up as he began to read carefully.


    The S-level contract was largely similar to the A-level contract, except the training resources provided annually by the Starfire Martial Hall had increased substantially.


    "Annually, 24 million in cash and 24 million Martial Hall Points?" Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    It was very generous; combined, these two amounts were equivalent to 48 million Blue Star Coins.


    You should know, a normal A-level Martial Hall contract only offers 6 million in cash and 6 million Martial Hall Points annually.


    That''s a fourfold increase!


    Besides the surge in the annual gift of training resources.


    This contract also came with many additional privileges.


    For instance, Li Yuan''s level within the Martial Hall was directly upgraded from L4 to L6.


    For example, within a certain range, he could mobilize the ''martial artist squad support'' of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    And so on, over ten additional rights and benefits, and these were just what was explicitly written.


    "An L6 member?" Li Yuan inwardly marveled. "Uncle Wan, as the Hall Master of the Starfire Guanshan Sub-Hall, is merely at L5 level, isn''t he?"


    As far as Li Yuan knew.


    In the Starfire Martial Hall, a Prime Warrior was at L4 level.


    L5 often belonged to Intermediate Prime Warriors, a very high status already.


    L6 was usually granted to High-Rank Prime Warriors who had made certain contributions.


    ...


    "Grandfather Fei."


    Li Yuan closed the light screen and looked up to ask, "I remember the last time I saw you, you mentioned that I could only be upgraded to S-level if I reached the Fifth Stage of my contract before turning 20."


    This question made both Fei Qian and Wan Qinghe unable to help but laugh.


    "Li Yuan."


    Wan Qinghe took the initiative to speak, quite moved, "The difficulty for someone your age to reach Subtlety... is even more challenging than reaching the Perfection of a skill''s Fifth Stage before turning 20."


    "Lord Yang of the Province implied reaching Fifth Stage before the age of 20 because he never thought you could achieve Mind Perception this quickly," explained Wan Qinghe.


    "It seems, just as Teacher Li and Dean Hai said, my attaining Mind Perception in the freshman battle of the ten schools is truly an incredible performance," Li Yuan reflected in his heart. "Not only has the school''s focus on me greatly increased."


    "Starfire Martial Hall''s attention to me has also surged substantially."


    The stronger one''s abilities and the greater the potential, the more they are valued.


    "Li Yuan."


    "The terms on the contract are just the standard ones," said Fei Qian. "Besides these, there are two special items that need to be specifically explained to you."


    "First is the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal that Lord Yang of the Province promised. He said it would be sent to Kunlun Martial University... to be kept by the school, available upon request."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Secondly, we from the Starfire Martial Hall have enquired with the university and anticipate that you will participate in life-or-death adventures early next year," Fei Qian stated gravely. "Therefore, to ensure your safety, our Jiangbei headquarters have made a special request to the Xia Country headquarters for ''a specially made Origin Power Battle Suit'' for you."


    "An Origin Power Battle Suit?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Li Yuan, the biggest difference between Second-Rank Martial Artists and ordinary martial artists is that First-Rank Warriors can only absorb Origin Power to strengthen their bodies, and they still consist of flesh and blood in essence."


    "While Second-Rank Martial Artists can utilize Origin Power," said Wan Qinghe. "Origin Power is incredibly miraculous."


    "The Origin Power Battle Suit can maximize the might of Origin Power."


    "Once wearing the battle suit, in combat, one can hold their ground against countless bullets and artillery, almost oblivious to thermal weaponry," Wan Qinghe explained.


    "But I don''t possess Origin Power," Li Yuan couldn''t help saying.


    "That''s why this is a specially made suit, costing ten times more than a Second-Rank Origin Power Battle Suit," Wan Qinghe said with a smile. "Its greatest advantage is that it allows First-Rank Martial Artists to use it, too."


    "With it, your defense will skyrocket, your vitality will surge, and when venturing into the Star Realm in the future, your risk of death will be significantly reduced."


    "This single Battle Garment alone is worth more than five hundred million Blue Star Coins."

 Chapter 174: 146 Level 14! Spiritual Guidance!

    Special Origin Power Battle Suit? Five hundred million Blue Star Coins? Li Yuan marveled in his heart.


    Actually, Li Yuan had some understanding of Origin Power Weapons, knowing that they were very expensive.


    While interacting with Gu Qianghan previously, the latter had mentioned it several times, and when attending general knowledge classes that touched on Second Rank Exotic Beasts, the teachers would occasionally discuss it as well.


    But this was the first time Li Yuan had heard of such a special Origin Power Battle Suit.


    "Li Yuan, there are two things you need to know," Fei Qian said, "First, a special Origin Power Battle Suit can only play a significant role after reaching Fifteen Level."


    "So, once your body reaches Level 15 and your teacher informs the Martial Hall, the Martial Hall will secretly deliver it," Fei Qian said solemnly. "You must keep the matter of the special Origin Power Battle Suit a secret; after receiving it, you must not tell anyone."


    "The purpose of gifting the special Origin Power Battle Suit is to protect you... not to harm you." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I understand," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    This was the same reasoning as Dean Hai not allowing him direct contact with the ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal.''


    The innocent has no worries, the one who holds the jade invites trouble.


    Having a treasure worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins on one''s person¡ªif word got out, it could lead to some desperate actions from others.


    That would be a clever scheme that backfires.


    "Second, when you become a Prime Warrior in the future, you will also return the special Origin Power Battle Suit to the Martial Hall," Fei Qian said with a smile. "You only have the right to use it."


    "After all, it''s a huge help to First Rank Martial Artists, but when you become a Prime Warrior, the difference between it and a normal Second Rank Origin Power Battle Suit is negligible."


    "Alright," Li Yuan smiled.


    He had been wondering why the Martial Hall was spending so much, but it turns out it was only the right to use the battle suit.


    But it was enough to demonstrate the value the Martial Hall placed on him.


    After all, if he were to die while adventuring outside, the battle suit would naturally be lost.


    When he became a Prime Warrior, spending 50 million Blue Star Coins to buy a normal Origin Power Battle Suit would be enough.


    ...


    Not long after hanging up the communication with Fei Qian, Li Yuan received another private message from Wan Qinghe.


    "Uncle Wan," Li Yuan said with a smile, having changed his form of address.


    "Congratulations on signing an S-level contract, from now on in the Martial Hall ranking, I''ll have to be one level lower than you," Wan Qinghe had previously been quite serious, all business.


    "No matter my level in the Martial Hall, you are still my Uncle Wan," Li Yuan said with a smile. "The help you have given me, I always keep in mind."


    "Haha, what I help you with is minor, it''s mainly due to your own efforts," Wan Qinghe laughed, feeling much relieved in his heart.


    Li Yuan wore a smile, understanding Wan Qinghe''s concerns.


    With his strength and talent becoming increasingly apparent, his status within the Martial Hall had quietly surpassed Wan Qinghe''s.


    Wan Qinghe laughed and said, "Come to think of it, in Jiang City now, you must be the only Martial Path prodigy who has signed an S-level cultivation contract."


    "The only one?" Li Yuan was curious, as he really did not know this data.


    "Yes."


    "An S-level cultivation contract is not just about money; it also represents comprehensive protection and many privileges¡ªthese are intangible benefits that your school contracts can''t match," Wan Qinghe said earnestly.


    Li Yuan nodded, feeling the uniqueness of the Martial Hall contract.


    The school''s contract focuses on cultivation, but it doesn''t offer any special privileges after leaving school.


    But at Level 6 in the Martial Hall, one can really mobilize a large number of Martial Hall''s intangible resources, besides money.


    "Not to mention the others."


    "Just having the privilege to directly appeal to the provincial Inspection Envoy is enough to make a Hall Master at the bottom like me apprehensive," Wan Qinghe remarked with a sigh. "You will gradually come to understand, Li Yuan."


    Li Yuan understood the implicit meaning behind his words and said with a smile, "Alright, Uncle Wan, if there''s ever anything you need from me, make sure to tell me, and I will definitely help with all my might."


    Out of the many additional privileges Li Yuan gained at Level 6, why did Uncle Wan specifically mention this seemingly inconspicuous one?


    Perhaps it was indeed unintentional.


    Or perhaps there was a deeper meaning.


    "Haha, then if there''s anything in the future, I won''t be polite," Wan Qinghe laughed. "You also concentrate on your training at school; I''ll look after things at home."


    "Although the Fish Spirit Clan has shown activity in Jiang City lately, everything is under control, with no significant impact."


    "In areas like Starfire South Lake Neighborhood, the defenses are already high, and I will pay extra attention to it," Wan Qinghe said with a laugh.


    "The Fish Spirit Clan is active again?" A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes.


    "They''ve been active all along."


    "Once your privileges are increased, you''ll know if you check the Martial Hall''s database; the Fish Spirit Star Realm has been infiltrating Jiangbei Province constantly," Wan Qinghe stated seriously. "Jiang City is the provincial capital, a key defense point, so the danger isn''t too great."


    "But in many towns below, that''s where the casualties are large."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, having grown up in Jiangbei and knowing a thing or two about these matters without looking at any data.


    Every year, within Jiangbei Province...


    Just from casualties caused by the ripple effects of the Fish Spirit Star Realm Alien Race, the number adds up to at least several thousand and often as many as tens of thousands.


    "By the way,"


    "Muhua is performing well at school," Wan Qinghe mentioned casually, "I''ll observe and guide him more, and strive to sign him for a D-level cultivation contract when he''s in his junior or senior year."


    "Uncle, don''t force this," Li Yuan shook his head. "Be strict with him; if he doesn''t meet the standard, he absolutely cannot be given a cultivation contract."


    "Haha, don''t underestimate your brother," Wan Qinghe laughed.


    After a while,


    The communication between the two ended.


    ...


    In Jiang City, inside the office of the Hall Master on the ninth floor of the Starfire Guanshan Branch Hall,


    "An S-level contract?" Wan Qinghe muttered to himself, his face growing increasingly joyful: "Li Yuan is growing up so fast."


    Unique in Jiang City?


    No, this is the only one in Jiangbei Province, and one can imagine how much Li Yuan will be valued.


    "Guqin," Wan Qinghe looked down at a document on the desk and muttered to himself, "Just wait."

 Chapter 175: 146 Level 14! Spiritual Guidance!_2

    "When Li Yuan comes back, use his complaint rights to give me a boost, that''ll be enough for you to handle."


    Gu Zheng is the Hall Master of another district''s Starfire Martial Hall in Jiang City.


    Wan Qinghe really did want Li Yuan''s help.


    However, he wouldn''t ask lightly, he had patience, and needed an excellent opportunity.


    Before that.


    What Wan Qinghe needed to do was to continually strengthen his ties with Li Yuan.


    ...


    A day after signing the contract with the Martial Hall, which was October 8th.


    In the evening, while Li Yuan was training in the underground martial arts room, he received two transfer notifications in succession.


    "Your account ending in 1486 has received 19.2 million Blue Star Coins..."


    "Your account ending in 1486 has received 13.44 million Blue Star Coins..."


    Two sums of money.


    One was the cash reward for the ''second year'' of the contract.


    The other was to make up for the shortfall in the first year of the contract.


    Of course, taxes had to be deducted, and the total amounted to 32.64 million Blue Star Coins.


    "This time, the Martial Hall''s S-grade contract paid me quickly," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    He clicked on his smart bracelet to enter the wealth section and saw his financial status:


    Bank balance: 96.51 million Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 41.18 million


    ...


    "Points, they''ve topped me up with over 40 million all at once?" Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    As for the Martial Hall Cultivation Points? They too had increased by several tens of millions.


    If one only purchased cultivation resources within the Martial Hall, Martial Hall Points were as effective as Blue Star Coins.


    "With the contract update, my privileges within the Martial Hall have also been enhanced, not only has the treasury updated its purchase catalog with plenty of ''Heavenly Materials Treasures'', it seems the database has also been enriched quite a bit," Li Yuan quickly perused within the Starfire app.


    Having been upgraded from an A-grade contract''s L4 level to L6, it was a comprehensive enhancement.


    "Tomorrow, Teacher Li Yang will supervise me using the ''Hundred Marrows Spirit Dry''." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "In October, I''ll first buy 6 portions of High Origin Spirit Spring with points."


    Thus, together with the 4 portions of High Origin Spirit Spring that the school provided for free, that would be 10 portions.


    "That should be enough for October''s cultivation."


    ...


    On October 9th, under Li Yang''s supervision, Li Yuan used the ''Hundred Marrows Spirit Dry'' once again.


    He underwent yet another nightmare-like ordeal.


    However, although he still screamed in agony, his performance was significantly stronger than when he used it in September.


    This continuous transformation of his willpower left Li Yang increasingly astonished.


    ...


    As time went on day by day.


    The newcomer competition among the ten schools had created some impact worldwide, and Li Yuan''s fame within Kunlun Martial University had topped the list, already surpassing Jin Huguo.


    However, as the competition concluded, Li Yuan''s life gradually returned to normal.


    On October 10th, Li Yuan received a notice from the school.


    A total of 18 units of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystals had arrived at the school''s ''treasury'' and were allocated under his name, ready for use at any time.


    Without hesitation.


    Li Yuan applied to use them.


    ...


    On the afternoon of October 11th.


    The main building of the Vermilion Bird Building, where underground lies Kunlun Martial University''s premier ''Pillar of Spirit''.


    On the third floor above ground.


    Guided by a teacher, Li Yuan came to a very special chamber.


    "Li Yuan, the items have already been placed in the room," the teacher reminded, "The handover process is fully monitored, so you can be at ease."


    "They can only be used within the room, do not take them out, and you have access to the cultivation room for one day."


    "Thank you, Teacher Zhu," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    He pushed the door and entered the room, noting the door was extremely thick, certainly over 30 centimeters, appearing to be made of alloy and very heavy.


    The defense must be astonishing.


    "This room is really small," Li Yuan glanced around, noting the room was only about ten square meters.


    Apart from two air vents and a door, there were no other gaps.


    In the room, there was only a meditation cushion and a table.


    The most special features were the four walls, as well as the ceiling and floor, which seemed to be cast from alloy.


    Without a doubt, extremely sturdy.


    "Everything is for safety," Li Yuan entered the room and the door gently closed behind him.


    Approaching the table, there lay a porcelain tray on which rested an object the size of a baby''s fist, earthen yellow and translucent like jelly.


    At first glance, it appeared ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one could feel the strong vitality it emitted.


    "Is this the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal?" Li Yuan mused inwardly, noting that it looked quite similar to the sample shown in the ''instructional video'' he had seen that morning.


    He pondered for a while.


    "Go ahead and eat, a Third Rank treasure, this piece might be worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins, maybe even a hundred million," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    How expensive was the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, exactly? Li Yuan did not know.


    Gulp~


    Li Yuan swiftly picked up the tray, opened his mouth, and swallowed the unit of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal whole.


    It melted upon entering his mouth.


    Swiftly, the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal had been swallowed into his stomach, and within just a few seconds, it seemed to react with his body, sending a surge of rich, strange power quickly spreading throughout his body.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan suddenly started.


    So comfortable!


    It had been a long, long time since Li Yuan had felt this comfortable.


    "Both are Third Rank treasures, so why was the Marrow Cleansing so painful, and this is so comfortable? Why such a big difference?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal transforming into streams of strange power, continuously merging into his flesh, bones, blood, skin, and deep within his marrow.


    An endless surge of vitality was fusing into countless cells, causing the deepest layers of transformation within Li Yuan.


    "Activity, vitality." As an expert with Subtlety in mind, Li Yuan could perceive these special changes.


    Something like the Marrow Cleansing was for cleansing the marrow, in addition to tormenting people.


    The High Origin Spirit Spring, on the other hand, was for pushing the body''s evolution.


    But the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, part of its function was to strengthen the body, but its core function was ''enhancing life potential,'' increasing the body''s foundation.


    In short, it was about raising the upper limit of the body''s growth talent.


    At this moment, Li Yuan felt incredibly comfortable and he reveled in the subtle transformations of his body.


    "No wonder Master Fei said that once I use the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, it would greatly increase my success rate in Law Creation," Li Yuan sat cross-legged, mentally sensing his whole body.


    The greatest difficulty in Law Creation was when guiding Origin Power incorrectly it would backlash against the body, causing injury.


    In that moment, the body''s life potential was very important.


    Just like a 20-year-old and a 50-year-old, both may seem to have similar strength, speed, and other physical data.


    But if both suffered the same injury, who would recover faster?


    Being young means greater life potential, such is natural law. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was also why Dean Hai repeatedly hoped that Li Yuan would become a Prime Warrior as soon as possible.


    And the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal could further enhance Li Yuan''s ''life potential.''


    "To be consumed once a month," Li Yuan silently pondered: "In total, it can last 18 months."


    "Together with the Marrow Cleansing and High Origin Spirit Spring, my cultivation speed will be even faster."


    ...


    After consumption, under the effect of that strange power, Li Yuan''s life potential was continuously improving.


    This enhancement was consolidating his foundation.


    In the future, as Li Yuan''s strength grew even stronger, its effects would gradually become apparent.


    But a trace of strangeness was also fortifying Li Yuan''s body, slowly advancing his physical quality.


    Finally, after over four hours,


    The effects of this unit of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal gradually faded, and Li Yuan ended this long ''enjoyment.''


    Suddenly.


    "[Your Life Level has risen from 13.9 to 14.0]"


    "[Your Fist Strength has increased from...]"


    "[Your Burst Speed has increased from...]"


    "[Your Life Level is now sufficient to accommodate Spiritual Guidance]" Four consecutive Divine Palace notifications flashed.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan''s eyes snapped open, a hint of light twinkling within.


    Finally, his Life Level had reached Level 14.


    Li Yuan could feel some special changes occurring within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ...


    Once he confirmed the full effects of the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal had taken hold,


    Li Yuan quickly left the Vermilion Bird Building, took a flying vehicle, and returned to his villa.


    He went down to the Martial Arts Room.


    "Spiritual Guidance," Li Yuan immediately sat down cross-legged, and with a thought, his consciousness entered the inner world.


    ...In the inner world, the towering four-layered Divine Palace stood imposingly, and Li Yuan''s consciousness quickly entered.


    His consciousness condensed, and as he looked around, just as he expected, the white jade staircase that had disappeared twice before


    Had appeared once again.


    "Are you asking me to go upstairs?" Li Yuan felt guided to do so in the depths of his mind.

 Chapter 176: 147: Stars Align, The Formation of Cultivation Technique (38,000 Monthly Votes Bonus)

    Inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    "Climbing upstairs?" Li Yuan hesitated, and although he received such guidance, his consciousness still didn''t dare to move.


    Li Yuan hadn''t forgotten that the first time, it was his rash desire to climb upstairs.


    As a result, he was hit so hard that his consciousness nearly collapsed.


    "Let''s first see if there''s any difference from the previous two times when Origin Power entered my body," Li Yuan thought.


    He attempted to draw upon the ''golden mist'' that might exist on the second floor.


    But this time, there was no response!


    "I can only try," Li Yuan''s consciousness stepped onto the white jade staircase.


    As expected.


    "Boom!!" It was as if a hammer of immense and terrifying power smashed down on his head, causing Li Yuan''s entire consciousness to thunder and explode.


    Even though he was prepared, Li Yuan still felt dazed; the oppressive impact was much stronger than the first time.


    It was as if the consciousness shock from the white jade staircase was tailored to Li Yuan''s spiritual power level¡ªthe stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the impact encountered.


    Fortunately.


    Li Yuan today had greatly surpassed his past self, not only in terms of much stronger spiritual power but also in significantly increased willpower, still barely maintaining his consciousness clear.


    "Continue." Li Yuan''s consciousness continued to climb toward the higher steps of the staircase.


    "Rumble~" The oppressive weight on his consciousness came like rolling stones, continuously impacting him.


    "Hold on," Li Yuan roared inside.


    He moved forward step by step with difficulty.


    The higher he went, the more difficult it became, causing his consciousness to feel intense pain, as if it were about to collapse.


    However, compared to the torment and pain of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Dryness, this was just child''s play.


    After a good ten minutes.


    Phew!


    Even Li Yuan''s strong consciousness felt as if it was about to completely dissipate under these relentless impacts, held together solely by his powerful will, desperately resisting.


    At last!


    Thump~ Li Yuan''s consciousness crossed the white jade staircase and truly arrived at a higher level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Perhaps the second level.


    Phew!


    The moment he set foot in, the unprecedented oppression instantly disappeared without a trace.


    "If I hadn''t used the Visualization Method to refine my consciousness to be this powerful, I probably would have found it very difficult to overcome the barrier of this white jade staircase," Li Yuan realized.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace was indeed an inconceivable opportunity, whether it be the Visualization Method or the Divine Palace panel, both were extremely special.


    But without enough effort.


    Just relying on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the achievements would be much smaller, one might even be blocked at the first level.


    ...


    "What''s in the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace?" Li Yuan looked around.


    This level had a similar layout and structure to the first, with a Jade Platform in the center of the great hall as well.


    Its appearance was similar to the Great Sun Jade Platform on the first floor.


    But its exterior was interwoven with gold and black.


    "Another Jade Platform?" Li Yuan pondered, "Could it be that my consciousness is also required to coalesce on top of the platform?"


    He observed the surroundings for a long while.


    Li Yuan confirmed that this level had neither the staircase leading to the higher levels of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace nor any other objects.


    There was only the black and gold interlaced Jade Platform in front of him.


    "It''s the only one," without other options, Li Yuan''s consciousness already coalesced above the platform.


    The next moment.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s consciousness surged into it like a tide, incapable of stopping the process.


    Swiftly, the scenery of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace around Li Yuan''s consciousness changed.


    He found himself in a boundless Dark Space.


    This Dark Space, he had visited twice before.


    No, to be precise.


    This mysterious space was no longer purely dark, as Li Yuan could vaguely see hundreds, even thousands, of stars shining dimly.


    A large number of stars formed a strange trajectory, illuminating the Dark Space with a faint light.


    "Upon my second entry, I recorded these Stellar Trajectories, which haven''t disappeared?" Li Yuan was puzzled, "What exactly is this Dark Space?"


    The third time he entered.


    The biggest difference from the previous two times was that Li Yuan''s consciousness remained absolutely clear.


    As time passed, Li Yuan''s consciousness was trapped in the Dark Space, unable to leave.


    Gradually.


    Hum~ In the Dark Space, at some point, streaks of purple light exuding a strange allure appeared, all emanating from the depths of the Dark Space.


    They swiftly floated toward Li Yuan''s consciousness.


    "What is this?" Li Yuan sensed from afar, feeling strange powers from these purple streams.


    Full of vitality and also full of temptation.


    Phew!


    Before Li Yuan could think further, the first stream of purple gas already darted toward his consciousness, merging into it directly.


    In an instant.


    "Huh?" Li Yuan''s consciousness observed that his vision of the entire ''Dark Space'' had changed.


    "What is that?"


    "Stars?" Li Yuan quickly ''saw'' them, this dark space seemed boundless, with no end in sight, but within this endless expanse, beneath the darkness, there seemed to exist countless stars.


    One after another, the stars were infinite, surely numbering in the billions and beyond.


    They emitted no light, which was why Li Yuan hadn''t been able to see them before.


    It was the purple mist from earlier that had granted Li Yuan a form of ''x-ray'' vision that transcended space.


    It allowed him to overlook and observe a vast portion of the dark space.


    "Dark Space."


    "Infinite stars." Li Yuan had an epiphany, and at the same time, he also noticed.


    Amongst these billions of stars, there seemed to be a very few that were not purely dark, their surfaces seemed to flicker with a bit of light.


    This light was extremely faint.


    Without the enhancement from the purple airflow, Li Yuan definitely wouldn''t have been able to ''see'' these faint lights, but now he could see them clearly.


    "Could these very few stars be exceptions?" Li Yuan pondered.


    He now recalled what Dean Hai had once said about the body being like the universe, filled with billions of dead stars.


    How similar it was to the scene before him.


    Could it be that the few luminous stars he observed were the ''Life Stars'' within his own body?


    What should he do then?


    Just at this moment.


    "Seek the subtle in the dust, unite the two into one, essence of Sun and Moon, start forging the Spiritual Foundation¡­" That vast and ancient voice he had heard many times before once again echoed within the dark space.


    Ethereal!


    The voice was so faint, but it seemed to contain a special magic power that influenced Li Yuan.


    "Seek out the subtle glow of stars, unite the Divine with the stars¡­" Li Yuan gradually came to understand.


    It seemed to be an action made subconsciously.


    Or perhaps it was an unnoticed guidance from that ancient voice.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan''s consciousness spread out instantly, as if fragmenting into countless parts.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Thousands upon thousands of thoughts, in a single moment, crossed the vast dark space, sensing the deathly stillness and the subtle light of innumerable stars¡­ Each thought reached a star that emitted a faint light.


    The next moment, countless thoughts integrated into these stars, trying to imprint their own mark.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!"


    The entire dark space suddenly shook, and the next moment, within the endless dark space, stars began to radiate light¡­ The number of illuminated stars, originally only in the thousands, began to climb rapidly.


    Three thousand, five thousand, nine thousand, twenty thousand¡­ The number surged uncontrollably.


    As many strands as Li Yuan''s consciousness had divided into, that many stars were illuminated. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Gradually.


    If someone could observe the entire dark space, they would be shocked to find.


    Among the tens of thousands of illuminated stars, a significant number of them formed various trajectories, already linked to each other.


    Conveying a sense of ''perfection''.


    "Rumbling~" When a large number of stars on a single stellar trajectory were fully illuminated, it seemed to initiate and trigger some special power.


    One could see tens of thousands of stars on the trajectory starting to move.


    Just like celestial bodies in motion!


    They truly ''came alive''.


    ...


    Inside the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Hum~"


    Li Yuan, who was seated cross-legged, had his body''s most minute layers, made of countless flesh and blood, gradually emitting fine rays of light.


    These rays of light were almost undetectable, invisible to the naked eye.


    But interconnected, they were like ''blood vessels'' from another dimension, already spanning various parts of Li Yuan''s body¡ªfrom his limbs and arms, abdomen, and even his brain


    forming a complete cycle.


    With the establishment of this cycle, akin to an ecosystem, autonomous evolution began immediately.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~


    Strange forces began flowing swiftly through those countless ''rays of light'' to the inner depths of Li Yuan''s body.


    It was Origin Power!!!


    Rustling~ These strange forces, coursing through the traces of light, gradually reached every deep part of Li Yuan''s body.


    This extremely pure Origin Power, containing not a trace of impurity, was quickly absorbed by the muscles and bones of Li Yuan''s body.


    Driving his body to begin its transformation.


    To enhance rapidly.


    Even as the Origin Power flowed, a small amount gradually blended into the path of light instead of being completely absorbed by Li Yuan.


    If a Flying Heaven Warrior were here, through their powerful spiritual sensing, they would surely make out.


    Li Yuan, seated cross-legged.


    Unwittingly, his body''s inner walls had a large number of Life Stars illuminated, forming the rudiments of a High Rank Cultivation Technique, which started to operate on its own!!


    This news, if spread, would definitely shock the entire human civilization.


    Because, only when one''s Physical Quality reached level 20, could the Life Stars be fully illuminated to form a complete ''Stellar Trajectory'' and truly run an Origin Power Method.


    This has been an ironclad rule for hundreds of years.


    But today.


    This ironclad rule, was completely shattered by Li Yuan!!

 Chapter 178: 149: The Transformation of Strength (Vote for Monthly Tickets)

    Deep into the night, in the basement of the villa, Li Yuan''s spirit was exceptionally good.


    Having read through the entire "Life Star Awakening Summary," Li Yuan continued to read the main text and numerous annotations of the seven high-rank cultivation methods.


    Many of the annotations were directly left by Dongfang Ji.


    "The human body is like the universe, with billions of stars within it, which are innately divided into Life Star Veins and Deathly Silent Star Veins."


    "Different races, beings from various space-time civilizations, have vastly different star meridian trajectories within their bodies."


    "The quantity and position of Life Stars vary greatly, which is why the ''Star Meridian Techniques'' collected from various races in foreign domains can only serve as references and cannot be used directly."


    "One must create their own method."


    "Although there are differences among individuals of the human race, the number and position of star meridians in the human body are generally the same... but the number of Life Stars and the number and location of Life Star Veins in each person''s body are different...


    Yet, there is a commonality that causes the Life Star Veins of many people to be the same from birth," Li Yuan read through many annotations.


    He had come to understand the fundamental differences between the seven high-rank cultivation methods.


    The human body''s star meridians might number in the thousands or even tens of thousands, but the vast majority are ''Deathly Silent Star Veins.''


    Deathly Silent Star Veins cannot be cultivated.


    Only Life Star Veins!!


    "Creating one''s own method means awakening one''s Life Star Veins and absorbing Origin Power," Li Yuan realized. "And the seven high-rank cultivation methods derived by human civilization to this day are actually about finding common Life Star Veins that many humans have, and then imprinting spiritual marks to fully awaken the Life Stars."


    However.


    Even if the star meridians in the human body are the same, individual differences are still huge, and to date, the seven high-rank cultivation methods can only match less than one-tenth of humans.


    ...


    "The number of Life Star Veins and the quantity of Life Stars determine the level of potential."


    "Some beings may have hundreds of Life Star Veins within their bodies, but if each Life Star Vein has fewer than 12,960 stars, they are doomed to be unable to cultivate Origin Power. Even if external forces make them Prime Warriors, they have no hope of creating their own techniques."


    "A small number of people may have only a few or even just a handful of Life Star Veins in their bodies, but each one contains more than 60,000 or even 90,000 Life Stars. According to messages from civilizations beyond our realm, the legendary talent refers to a star meridian where all 129,600 stars are Life Stars."


    "Such talent is extremely rare and is known as the Perfect Star Vein."


    "If such a Perfect Life Star Vein were to be fully awakened, it would be equivalent to multiple partially awakened Life Star Veins..." When Li Yuan came across this annotation, he was shocked and began to understand the condition of his own body.


    And he made some estimations.


    "Perfect Star Vein?"


    "My perfect awakening in one night was aided by the ''Spiritual Guidance'' from the Mind Spirit Divine Palace," Li Yuan wondered. "But the fact that I have a Perfect Star Vein and so many Life Stars... is it the help of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace? Or my own innate talent?"


    Li Yuan was more inclined to believe it was his innate talent.


    Because, Li Yuan clearly remembered.


    In the Life Star space, those threads of purple mist were what helped him perceive the vast and endless ''Life Star space,'' quickly distinguishing between Life Stars and Deathly Silent Stars.


    Thus imprinting spiritual marks, awakening!


    Moreover.


    Li Yuan also remembered that during that brief moment of sensation and observation.


    The number of ''Life Stars'' he had imprinted were just a minority, and there were still a massive number of stars emitting faint light in the Life Star space, yet to be awakened.


    No choice, Li Yuan''s spiritual power was only so strong at the moment.


    To divide his thoughts so many times and awaken 129,600 Life Stars in one go was already his limit.


    "That is to say."


    "Without Spiritual Guidance, under normal circumstances, after becoming a Prime Warrior and sensing the Life Star space, I might also be able to awaken some Life Star Veins," Li Yuan understood. "But it certainly wouldn''t be this fast, nor would it be possible to quickly awaken this star meridian to perfection."


    ...


    "Spiritual Guidance probably means fully tapping into my already high talent for Origin Power," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    This was very important.


    All things have spirit. In history, countless people with extraordinary talents never found a high-rank cultivation method that matched them, becoming indistinguishable from ordinary people... just like a genius being abandoned alone in the wilderness, where the best outcome would be becoming a feral man.


    External environment is more important than talent.


    "Next, as my spiritual power further improves, I will be able to gradually attempt to awaken my Life Stars myself," Li Yuan was quite looking forward to it.


    The strength of spiritual power is closely related to the number of Life Stars awakened.


    This is why martial artists place great emphasis on spiritual power.


    ...


    "Having fully awakened this star meridian, I have begun to create my own cultivation technique," Li Yuan revealed a smile. "What should I name it?"


    "The seven high-rank cultivation methods are all based on the properties of Origin Power."


    As the star meridians operate, they absorb a large amount of external Origin Power. Most of it will be gradually absorbed by the body, but a significant portion will remain between the star meridians.


    This Origin Power.


    Can rapidly repair injuries throughout the body, creating a big surge in vitality.


    Can trigger and enhance weapons, making them sharper and more durable, and can generate the Origin Power Battle Suit... all with many wondrous effects. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Given different talents, the Life Star Veins awakened and the resulting Origin Power will have their emphases.


    For example, a Human Race Prime Warrior compliant with the "Blazing Flame Burning Sky Sutra" would cultivate Fire Origin Power.


    As with the "Vast Ocean Infinite Water Sutra," it''s about cultivating Water Origin Power.


    And the "Hefty Earth Star Constellation Sutra" involves Earth Origin Power...


    "Now it seems that, in the video from Rob Sea, Yu Jinghe''s outbreak of power when killing enemies involved Metal Origin Power," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The outward release of Origin Power is indeed a match for Flying Heaven Warriors with the body of a Prime Warrior, an extraordinary talent."


    Over the centuries.


    The seven high-rank cultivation methods created by human civilization include two methods for cultivating Earth Origin Power, two for Water Origin Power, and one each for Fire, Metal, and Wood Origin Power.

 Chapter 179: 149: The Transformation of Strength (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_2

    ```


    "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth... these five Origin Powers are the most common,"


    "The vast majority of Prime Warriors create laws successfully, and the Origin Power they cultivate can be classified into these five types."


    Everyone''s cultivated Origin Power is not exactly the same, it can only be said they are similar in a broad sense.


    "But there are a very few Prime Warriors, Flying Heaven Warriors, whose Origin Powers after law creation, are completely different from the five basic Origin Powers," Li Yuan looked down at his fingertips.


    Hiss~


    A faint pale yellow light streaked across Li Yuan''s fingertips, icy cool.


    Li Yuan could also feel it.


    If he were to launch an attack now, under the support of Origin Power, this one finger would be much more powerful than before.


    "The Life Star Vein awakened in my body revolves, and just from appearances, it seems to be Earth Origin Power,"


    "But compared to the Earth Origin Power described in many records, there seems to be some differences," Li Yuan slightly frowned, "Just the color alone is much paler."


    Unusual.


    Normal Earth Origin Power is very dark in color, but the thread of Origin Power that Li Yuan cultivated was much lighter, almost transparent if one does not observe closely.


    "Enough."


    "Once I become a Prime Warrior and pretend to have succeeded in law creation, I''ll try asking Dean Hai and the others," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Exposing it now would lead to many questions.


    But once he became a Prime Warrior, revealing some secrets wouldn''t be an issue, the upper echelons of human civilization would just ascribe it to having ''peerless talent''.


    After all, there have been many freaks of nature throughout history, Fang Hai, Dongfang Ji...


    Like an ordinary person growing to a height of two and a half or even three meters, people would just marvel at their genetic mutation.


    But if he sprouted a pair of wings and could fly... He would definitely be invited for research.


    "As the Star Meridian revolves, I can manipulate a small amount of Origin Power, which is naturally much less compared to that of a Prime Warrior," Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, sensing the small amount of Origin Power in his body''s Star Meridian, "However, it is enough for me to fully activate an Origin Power Weapon, Origin Power Battle Suit at a critical moment."


    In a life-or-death situation, if the enemy considers Li Yuan as a ''First Rank life,'' and Li Yuan suddenly erupts with Origin Power, his strength would surge considerably.


    This is a trump card.


    It must not be exposed carelessly.


    "I shall name this newly-created Cultivation Technique ''All Heavens'' Stars''," Li Yuan thought of a name on a whim.


    Li Yuan believed that a perfectly awakened Life Star Vein could also be called ''All Heavens'' Stars''.


    What he needed to do was to awaken more Life Star Veins and Life Stars in the future.


    ...


    After creating the Origin Power Cultivation Technique ''All Heavens'' Stars,'' Li Yuan''s life of cultivation became tranquil.


    Time passed, day by day.


    He attended general knowledge classes, practiced Spear Technique, received guidance from Teacher Li Yang, underwent combat training, and consumed High Origin Spirit Spring.


    And every night.


    Aside from the routine practice of the Visualization Method, Li Yuan would hide in the basement, revolve the Star Meridian, and frantically absorb Origin Power... causing his Physical Quality to skyrocket.


    ..."Spiritual power is extremely important," Li Yuan placed great importance on the Visualization Method, "Whether it is improving skill in Spear Technique or awakening Life Star Veins, spiritual power is always the priority."


    "I still need to push my Willpower to its limits."


    ..."Spear Technique, Fist Technique, movement technique," Li Yuan trained with unrelenting rigor.


    "Right now, the most important thing is to improve all three to the threshold of Fourth Level 99%,"


    In terms of skill, Li Yuan was also steadily progressing.


    ...


    One day in mid-November.


    In a large Martial Arts Room of the Heilong Building,


    "Class dismissed," Li Yang announced, walking straight out of the classroom.


    The twenty-four students in the classroom all got up and started chatting as they headed out.


    Indeed.


    Compared to four months ago when Li Yuan started school, Li Yang''s class had gained several ''Fourth Level elites,'' mostly upperclassmen from the fourth and fifth years.


    This was normal, the longer one practiced, many students from Kunlun Martial University were stuck at Third Stage Perfection for years, and with time, they would break through.


    "Shi Xiao."


    "Are you free tonight? Our ''monthly leave'' is here; how about we go have fun in Fengjing for a day?" A tall young man chased after Shi Xiao and asked.


    Seeing this, the other students smiled and thought nothing of it.


    In this era, one could legally marry at 19, so while there were few married university students, there were many in relationships... especially these elite students, who were well-off financially and knew their future as Martial Artists could be fraught with danger and death in battle, leading to very open-minded people.


    There were quite a few who had several boyfriends or girlfriends. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Ou Xie, I have plans tonight," Shi Xiao said indifferently, "Stop bothering me."


    "With who?" Ou Xie frowned.


    ```


    ```


    "Junior Brother Li Yuan, don''t you think so?" Shi Xiao suddenly looked at Li Yuan: "Yesterday I invited you to relax in Fengjing for a day, and you agreed."


    Li Yuan, who was discussing ''Subtlety of the Mind'' with Qiu Jing, was stunned. How had the conversation turned to him?


    Qiu Jing''s face also stiffened.


    "Senior Sister Shi Xiao..." Li Yuan was about to speak.


    "You agreed?" Shi Xiao revealed a smile, stepped forward, and intimately grabbed Li Yuan''s arm, attempting to pull him outside.


    At the same time, a faint voice reached Li Yuan''s ear: "Li Yuan, help me out of this situation."


    Li Yuan frowned.


    He didn''t move his feet, and Shi Xiao slightly exerted force but couldn''t seem to pull him.


    This scene caused surprise among the surrounding students.


    Shi Xiao, whose physical quality was beyond Level 17, actually couldn''t move Li Yuan? Was she not putting in enough effort?


    "Elder Brother Ou Xie."


    Li Yuan suddenly turned back and smiled, "I indeed promised Senior Sister Shi Xiao in advance to accompany her to Fengjing for a day, but don''t misunderstand, there''s nothing between me and Senior Sister Shi Xiao. You can pursue her freely."


    Ou Xie''s face relaxed slightly, and he managed a smile: "Okay."


    He didn''t wish to offend Li Yuan.


    Who didn''t know about Li Yuan''s terrifying talent? There was a very high chance he would become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future.


    Shi Xiao''s smile turned rigid.


    Huff! Huff!


    All the students exited the Heilong Building and dispersed on various flying vehicles.


    "Senior Sister, I''ve helped you. It''s time to let go," Li Yuan whispered.


    "Okay."


    "Thank you, Junior Brother," Shi Xiao said with a smile, almost coquettishly: "But, Junior Brother Li Yuan, why can''t you see it through to the end? Why did you have to make it so clear with Ou Xie? He will start pestering me again in a few days."


    "That''s your problem, Senior Sister," Li Yuan smiled: "I am leaving now."


    Saying so, Li Yuan strode forward.


    "Senior Sister Qiu Jing, I am leaving now," Li Yuan greeted Qiu Jing.


    He leapt onto a flying vehicle and quickly departed.


    Shi Xiao''s smile faded, seemingly reluctant.


    "Senior Sister, it seems your method didn''t work. Junior Brother Li Yuan isn''t taking the bait." A mocking voice arose, Qiu Jing approached with an inexplicable smile of triumph on her face.


    "Mind your own business."


    Shi Xiao scoffed: "Little girl, do you really think your method of pretending to be cute and asking for advice on techniques is effective?"


    "At least it''s better than yours," Qiu Jing said indifferently: "The whole academy knows about Senior Sister''s reputation. Do you really expect Li Yuan to accept you?"


    Shi Xiao huffed coldly, a trace of chill flashing in her eyes.


    With Li Yuan''s rise, many believed he had the potential to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future.


    There were quite a few female students in the school who wished to pursue him.


    But most could hardly even see him.


    Shi Xiao and Qiu Jing, as ''fellow senior sisters,'' often had classes together and were the closest to Li Yuan and most motivated to pursue him.


    "Fine."


    "Let''s see what you can do," Shi Xiao sneered.


    "Goodbye, Senior Sister," Qiu Jing smiled and quickly left on a flying vehicle.


    "Little vixen, pretending to be innocent in front of me," Shi Xiao watched Qiu Jing leave with venom.


    After a while, when everyone else had left.


    Ou Xie, who had just ''pursued'' Shi Xiao, came out and couldn''t help saying: "Senior Sister, about the matter you promised me?"


    "Your acting is too poor. Li Yuan isn''t fooled at all. We''ll talk about your request next time." Shi Xiao walked away, fuming.


    ...


    In the deep villa area belonging to the Sixth Institute, at the residence of Dean Hai.


    On the grass, Dean Hai was leisurely sunbathing.


    "Dean." Li Yang, who had just finished a class, hopped off a flying vehicle and approached respectfully.


    "What is it?" Dean Hai asked, eyes closed, fanning himself.


    "Li Yuan''s physical quality has breached Level 15," Li Yang said: "His skills, movement technique, and Spear Technique have basically reached the limit of the Fourth Level."


    "The baseline to go to the Mingxu Star Realm has been met."


    "So soon?" Dean Hai opened his eyes, surprise flickering in them: "One level up in physical quality in a month?"


    "Does the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal harmonize with him that well?"


    ```

 Chapter 180: 150 Martial Path Celestial

    "Indeed, the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal is a fine Heavenly Material Treasure, but logically, the effect shouldn''t be this significant."


    Dean Hai expressed his doubts, "He''s not progressing from level 10 to level 11, but from level 14 to level 15."


    "Speaking purely in terms of physical quality, his Fist Strength has increased by over 4000 kilograms in a single month."


    "Has he left the school this month?" Dean Hai asked.


    Many thoughts flashed through his mind.


    "No, since the end of the freshmen battle of the ten schools, Li Yuan has been cultivating within the school." Li Yang said, "He undergoes combat training daily and attends general knowledge classes, which can all be verified."


    Li Yang understood Dean Hai''s doubts¡ªhe was suspecting that Li Yuan might have had other serendipitous encounters.


    But in reality, there weren''t any.


    "Additionally, I check his physical quality every week." Li Yang added, "After using the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, the rate of his progress has noticeably increased."


    "The rate of progress is very stable," Li Yang confirmed, "All documented."


    "Good." Dean Hai finally let go of the last thread of suspicion and smiled, "It seems the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal is indeed the right choice for him."


    "We, too, have underestimated his rate of progress," Dean Hai stated calmly.


    "President, you are wise," Li Yang said with a laugh, but thought to himself, we?


    It was obviously you who underestimated him.


    But then, Li Yang followed up with a question, "President, what should we do now?"


    "It''s still too dangerous to go to the Mingxu Star Realm now," Dean Hai spoke softly, "Let''s stick to the original plan, one month."


    "There''s nearly two months left; his strength should be able to improve further, and his ability to protect himself will be stronger."


    "Besides, the school has a holiday in December, right?" Dean Hai inquired.


    "Yes," nodded Li Yang.


    Normal universities have winter and summer breaks, but Martial Arts University''s holiday schedule is completely different.


    Every year in late June and late December, there will be a half-month break to allow students to go home, which is staggered with the usual university vacations.


    "Just let him go home before venturing out into the Star Realms," Dean Hai suggested.


    "Yes," Li Yang nodded, understanding what Dean Hai meant.


    Venturing into the Star Realms is completely different from a Combat Assessment.


    Though Combat Assessments are dangerous, the death rate for each can be controlled at around one percent, or even lower; it is only the cumulative casualty rate that is high.


    Especially for a genius of Li Yuan''s caliber, the death rate is even lower.


    Most importantly, all ''accidental factors'' can be eliminated.


    Venturing into the Star Realms? Although the school will also provide some protective measures, no matter the preparations, it is impossible to avoid accidents, such as an unexpected encounter with a Second Rank Alien Race or Flying Heaven creature... Such occurrences have happened in history.


    Sending Li Yuan home first, in some sense, is also a form of ''farewell.''


    Who knows, he might die out there this time.


    After all, Li Yuan is only 18 years old.


    "There are two more things," Dean Hai spoke faintly, "First, have Li Yuan come see me tomorrow."


    "Second, inform Starfire Martial Hall that Li Yuan has reached level 15 and ask them to arrange for the delivery of the Origin Power Battle Suit as soon as possible."


    "Yes," Li Yang nodded.


    ...


    That evening.


    While watching the news, Li Yuan received a communication from Li Yang.


    "Dean Hai wants to see me tomorrow; he might give me guidance on my cultivation and venturing into the Star Realms?" Li Yuan speculated upon reading the message from Li Yang, "I don''t even need to apply myself?"


    According to Kunlun Martial University''s rules, before the senior year, regardless of the level of Physical Quality, one doesn''t need to venture into the Star Realms.


    Likewise, if one''s Physical Quality reaches level 15, they can enter the Star Realms after applying personally, whether they are a freshman, sophomore, or junior.


    He put down his smart wristband.


    "The Fish Spirit Clan," Li Yuan continued to watch the ''Star Realm Channel'' projected on the screen.


    "According to statistics, the recent Star Realm attack that Jiang City encountered has resulted in at least 284 deaths..."


    "In Shi Zhou, over the past seven days, there have been attacks from the Fish Spirit Star Realm, resulting in at least 800 deaths..."


    "Following our station''s reporter''s visit, starting today, the military forces of Jiangbei Province, Starfire Martial Hall, and Starry Sky Martial Hall will conduct joint operations, using a dragnet strategy along the Xiang River..." one news story followed another in the projection.


    All were about Jiangbei Province and the Fish Spirit Clan.


    Ever since his conversation with Wan Qinghe, Li Yuan had been paying close attention to the news from Jiangbei Province, especially concerning Jiang City... Yesterday, various locations across Jiangbei Province suffered another round of large-scale attacks.


    Only today had the situation been mostly brought under control.


    "So many casualties," Li Yuan frowned slightly, "Is the Fish Spirit Clan really that hard to eradicate?"


    The Fish Spirit Star Realm, like a festering wound on Jiangbei Province''s body, not fatal but occasionally inflammatory, causes panic and harm to the citizens of the entire Jiangbei Province.


    "However."


    "Uncle and auntie live in the Starfire South Lake community; the impact there is minimal," Li Yuan mused.


    ...


    The next day, November 17.


    At two in the afternoon, Li Yuan arrived at Dean Hai''s villa residence, accompanied by Li Yang.


    This was Li Yuan''s first visit.


    The previous meetings with Dean Hai had always been held at the Heilong Building.


    However, just as he stepped off the flying vehicle, Li Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    Because, on the lush green lawn outside the villa, Dean Hai was leisurely lying on a recliner, dressed in casual clothes and wearing sunglasses.


    Fishing.


    A large parasol was raised high.


    Beside him, several attendants waited on hand and foot, with a table meticulously prepared with all kinds of exquisite food.


    In a word, exquisite!


    Combined with Dean Hai''s already young and handsome appearance, he gave off the air of a luxuriously wealthy young man.


    "Dean, Li Yuan is here," Li Yang stepped forward and said.


    "Mhm."


    "Li Yuan, Li Yang, sit down," Dean Hai said with a faint smile, gesturing to the two stools beside him.


    Li Yang and Li Yuan both sat down and turned their attention to Dean Hai.


    It was then that Dean Hai finally put down his fishing rod.


    "Li Yuan, do you like fishing?" Dean Hai asked with a smile.


    "I''ve fished before," Li Yuan replied honestly.


    Except for a bit taught by his uncle in June, Li Yuan really hadn''t learned to fish at any other time in his life.


    "Do you know what''s most important about fishing?" Dean Hai asked, looking at Li Yuan with a smile that wasn''t quite a smile.


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment, "Patience?"


    "No!"


    "It''s that the pond needs to have fish," Dean Hai laughed. "If there are no fish, all your efforts are pointless. For example, some fishing grounds appear to have many fish, but the owner intentionally digs the center deeper, then uses heavy bait to attract all the fish there... In that case, you definitely can''t catch anything at the water''s edge."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    "How do you feel about the ''Spirit Concentration Technique'' I asked you to practice last time?" Dean Hai changed the subject.


    "I''ve practiced it, and it feels so-so," Li Yuan said.


    He could be vague on other matters, but when it came to cultivation, which involved his personal interests, he had to answer seriously.


    "Hmm? It''s actually a spiritual secret manual for honing willpower, helping martial artists better withstand spiritual attacks," Dean Hai said. "The Star Realm is full of dangers, and you can hardly predict the methods of your enemies. Spiritual attacks are very common."


    "However, your spiritual power is strong, so its effect on you is indeed limited, but still, practice it more when you have time; there''s always some effect."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    "I hear from President Li that your Spear Technique has reached the Fourth Level''s limit?" Dean Hai said.


    "Almost," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    In reality, according to the Divine Palace panel, Li Yuan''s Spear Technique and Fist Technique had both reached 99% of the Fourth Level.


    Only his movement technique was slightly behind at 96% of the Fourth Level, but he expected to reach the limit within at most half a month. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Reaching the limit of the Fourth Level, the mind enters subtlety, gaining control of every minute force within the body. The next step is the Unity of Fifth Stage," Dean Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he listened intently.


    He understood that Dean Hai asked him here today to actually give him guidance in his skills.


    "The term ''Unity of Heaven and Man,'' in ancient times, was the mysterious pursuit of many martial arts masters, like the Golden Elixir path of Taoism or the Relics concept in Buddhism... It sounds very profound, but when you seek its essence, it all comes down to ''nature''," Dean Hai said with a smile.


    Nature? Li Yuan thoughtfully reflected.


    "Human strength is limited. We draw in Origin Power to temper our bodies and train our techniques, making our strength and speed increasingly powerful... But even for Flying Heaven Warriors or those beyond the Flying Heaven Level."


    "They can sprint at speeds tens of times faster than the speed of sound, or even more."


    "Their bodies can enter outer space."


    "A single punch can shatter a mountain," Dean Hai remarked, "It seems very strong, but how does it compare to the vastness of nature itself?"


    "Just our Seven Star Sea alone, and the distance between us and Feixing is over a hundred million kilometers. Without traveling via Star Bridge or Star Realm... communication between us would be extremely difficult."


    "The operation of heaven and earth, the Starry Sky, we individuals seem strong, yet we are just slightly more robust ants in this endless cosmos... Unity of Heaven and Man is about using our weak ''spirit and mind'' to perceive the countless mysteries and operations of the world."


    "To grasp just a thread of the natural laws."


    "Like technology, weak life forms can control a variety of powerful weapons... Our warriors'' life evolution too is the same, striving to discover the mysteries and laws of nature."


    "By borrowing the power of heaven and earth, we become stronger, both spiritually and physically," Dean Hai smiled. "Otherwise, just relying on cultivation methods, do you think in a short period of time, it would be possible to make a Flying Heaven Warrior''s body so formidable?"


    Li Yuan thoughtfully pondered.


    "These are to build a concept in your mind," Dean Hai said with a smile. "The best way to break through is still to follow the original path."


    "The original path?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Natural laws are elusive," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Do you think I''m too extravagant?"


    "No, Dean, your contributions to human civilization are immense. This is nothing," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "That''s true," Dean Hai laughed. "Over the years, I''ve paid hundreds of billions in taxes alone, not by engaging in domestic commerce or collecting rent... but by adventuring and battling in the Star Realm."


    "Impressive," Li Yuan sincerely expressed.


    Paying taxes alone amounted to over a hundred billion, so one could only imagine the actual gains.


    These treasures and wealth might technically belong to Dean Hai, but in a sense, they were also part of human civilization.


    "I seem to be enjoying myself."


    "Well, I am indeed enjoying," Dean Hai laid back leisurely, saying with a smile, "But this is also a form of cultivation for me, refining the heart and comprehending law."


    Li Yuan was puzzled; this state of being was too far from his own.


    "Once you truly step into the Fifth Stage, you will gradually understand what I mean," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Next."


    "Study a Third Rank Spear Technique Manual called ''Meaning of the Stellar'' from the Martial Path knowledge network," he instructed.


    "This manual is an extension of the ''Stellar Spear Technique'' and will help you break through to the Fifth Stage," Dean Hai added.

 Chapter 181: 151: Return to Jiang City (Additional Chapter for 42,000 Monthly Votes)

    "Yes." Li Yuan noted down the name of the secret manual.


    "The second thing I called you for," Dean Hai said.


    "After the December break, at the beginning of January, we will arrange for you to venture into the Mingxu Star Realm."


    "What place is that?" Li Yuan had never heard of this star realm.


    With his current access in the Starfire Martial Hall, he had the right to know some information about most star realms.


    "This is a vast, yet undeveloped First Level Star Realm," President Li added from the side. "Currently, our human civilization is gradually expanding within the Mingxu Star Realm, engaging in small-scale battles with the native creatures of the star realm... But the level of combat isn''t too high, which is most suitable for you."


    "After all, we couldn''t possibly assign you to guard a star realm," Li Yang said with a smile. "That would be pointless."


    "Okay." Li Yuan nodded.


    Having taken so many general knowledge courses and researched the data himself, he was clear on the differences between various star realms.


    Some star realms were completely occupied by the Human Race and were very safe; there might not be a single battle for years, and many martial artists hoped to be dispatched to these places.


    Because they are safe!


    The rest of the star realms, like some that were in a state of war or sworn enemies... for instance, the Rob Sea, were very dangerous. Prime Warriors entering would be cannon fodder, and if he were to venture there, it would be easy to die in a large-scale battle.


    Unless one had the strength of a Flying Heaven Warrior, in that kind of large-scale battle, an individual would be extremely powerless.


    It sounds like the Mingxu Star Realm is more suited for me.


    "Your life-and-death trial in the Mingxu Star Realm will be overseen by the person in charge of the local Martial Hall, who will evaluate you in a series of tests," Dean Hai said with a smile. "If you perform exceedingly well,"


    "when you return to school, the school will prepare another generous gift for you!"


    "It should be the most important gift the school can prepare for you before you graduate."


    "It cannot be measured in money," Dean Hai said without revealing what it was. "At least, it''s not something I can provide."


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    A gift that even a Flying Heaven Warrior like Dean Hai couldn''t provide? What could it be?


    It didn''t seem like Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    "Considering the timeline, you have a month and a half until your life-and-death trial. Train well."


    "The trial doesn''t consider talent, only strength," Dean Hai said, looking at Li Yuan, unable to help but add: "Each bit of strength increases your chance of survival in the star realm."


    "I hope you will come back alive to see me."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    After returning to the villa.


    Li Yuan immediately logged into the virtual network and entered the Martial Path knowledge space.


    Quickly.


    He found the Third Rank skill secret manual "Meaning of the Stellar."


    Second Rank secret manuals were as numerous as stars.


    But third-rank secret manuals were much rarer and seldom bore the same name.


    "It seems that ''Meaning of the Stellar'' is not simply a Spear Technique manual, but a state of mind," Li Yuan quickly read through the manual''s introduction.


    Assured it was correct.


    Purchase!


    "Freshman ''Li Yuan,'' your free learning quota for Third Rank secret manuals has decreased by 1, with a remaining balance of 2," the system voice sounded. "The skill secret manual you just purchased has been delivered to your personal space."


    ... S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In his personal space, Li Yuan listened intently to the intelligent teacher''s lecture.


    "You are learning Spear Technique."


    "Therefore, you can understand that ''Meaning of the Stellar'' is an extension of the ultimate mystery of ''Stellar Spear Technique,'' the ''Stellar Realm.''"


    "It imitates the movement of stars in the outer skies."


    "It can be divided into four realms: Body Like the Stars, Stardust Subtlety, River of Galaxies, and Stars Returning to Ruins," the intelligent teacher slowly explained. "If you have fully grasped the ''Stellar Spear Technique,'' you should be able to quickly get the hang of the first realm, ''Body Like the Stars.''"


    "The key lies in the second realm, ''Stardust Subtlety.'' Once you understand the second realm, it means you''ve reached the threshold of Unity of Heaven and Man."


    Whoosh~


    With a wave of the intelligent teacher''s hand, the area under his and Li Yuan''s feet transformed into an endless starry sky scene.


    In the depths of space, there were dimly lit stars.


    "Watch me," the intelligent teacher said softly. In his hand, a long spear appeared from nowhere.


    "Whoosh!"


    With one thrust of the spear, his demeanor instantly changed. For a fleeting moment, Li Yuan felt an immense star rolling... an enigmatic sensation.


    However, Li Yuan also felt a certain sense of incongruity and illusion.


    "The virtual network, after all, is not reality. For Fifth Stage skills, it can only simulate 50% of their real effect."


    "For this Third Rank Spear Technique, it would be best if you could seek out a real Fifth Stage master for live combat to gain insights. That''s the fastest way to progress."


    ...


    On the afternoon of November 19th, inside Li Yuan''s villa.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "These past days, you''ve been practising ''Meaning of the Stellar'' on the virtual network, how do you feel about it?" Li Yang asked with a smile.


    "It''s somewhat lacking," Li Yuan shook his head. "I haven''t truly grasped the basics yet."


    "That''s to be expected."


    "Intelligent teachers are more effective at instructing techniques below the Fourth Layer, especially for those who are good at learning," Li Yang said with a smile. "But once you reach the Fourth Layer, the effectiveness of intelligent teachers drops off."


    "Fifth Stage skills can only be simulated to 50% of their effect."


    "And Sixth Stage skills are beyond simulation."


    "This is why virtual battles on the Combat Network, whether various assessments or the Starry Skies Fighting Network, can only demonstrate up to Fifth Stage Perfection skills," Li Yang explained with a smile. "Like your current Sun Eclipse Stage."


    "And Martial Saint Stage, generally one can reach it with Fifth Stage Perfect Skill."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, this was something he hadn''t known before.


    But Li Yuan had long realized that the usefulness of the virtual network for him was rapidly diminishing.


    In the Starry Skies Fighting Network, he had reached Sun Eclipse Stage, but every time he tried to match his rank... it took a long time.


    The number of experts who could reach these stages worldwide were sharply decreasing.


    Martial Arts Cultivation, after all, the virtual network is only an auxiliary tool, the stronger one became, the more they needed to return to reality.


    "I have also pondered over ''Meaning of the Stellar,'' but my path is ultimately somewhat different," Li Yang said. "I will try to emulate it as much as possible during live combat with you."


    "During the fight, I''ll help you feel as much as possible. Ultimately, your own realization must break through that essential threshold."


    "Unity of Heaven and Man, understanding the natural world, comes down to your own spiritual breakthrough and stepping past that crucial threshold," Li Yang said solemnly. "Many advanced Prime Warriors can be stuck at such a realm for decades; it''s quite common."


    "Yes."


    ...


    So it was.


    From mid-November onwards, as Li Yuan''s skills reached the limit of Fourth Layer, his training schedule underwent another change.


    Besides daily cultivation, he no longer attended public ''Skill Classes,'' and even his live combat training was modified.


    It was adapted to now involve live combat drills in rotation with two official teachers and President Li.


    Because regular Prime Warriors'' skills were too weak, live combat training offered little help to Li Yuan.


    Only those with sufficiently powerful skills could pressurize him and provide some enlightenment.


    Occasionally, Dean Xu would also come to give guidance to Li Yuan.


    Like this, Li Yuan was completely immersed in his Martial Arts Cultivation, time flew by, and his overall strength was rapidly increasing.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-December.


    During this time.


    A team from the Starfire Martial Hall arrived, very low-key and not many people knew about it.


    This team had come to deliver the "Origin Power Battle Suit," as well as a long spear and long knife tailor-made for Li Yuan''s height and build, and other auxiliary equipment for adventuring in the Star Realm.


    ...


    On the afternoon of December 14th, inside the underground Martial Arts Room of the villa.


    "Pfft!"


    "Whoosh!" Li Yuan suddenly thrust forward, spear after spear whistling out, as quick as lightning, the "Twelve Continuous Strikes" from the "Stellar Spear Technique."


    With each rapid burst, a series of afterimages formed in mid-air.


    This was no longer Twelve Continuous Strikes, but Twenty-Four Continuous Strikes, Forty-Eight Continuous Strikes... it seemed endless.


    If there were experts who also practiced the "Stellar Spear Technique," they would be shocked to find.


    In executing this move, Li Yuan''s spear momentum seemed boundless, wave after wave, with the might accumulating to an unbelievable degree when hundreds of consecutive thrusts were executed.


    "The spear rolls like stars! Control!" Li Yuan entered into subtlety, controlling the outburst of his bodily strength.


    "Weaken."


    "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The originally wildly violent spear shadows gradually weakened and quickly stabilized.


    This was astonishing.


    It''s like a boxer, who when punching heavily, if they don''t follow through completely and instead stop abruptly mid-punch, the body would feel very uncomfortable.


    The Twelve Continuous Strikes from the Galaxy Waterfall were the same, once the spear technique reached its peak, it was best to complete the last strike to feel invigorated in body and mind.


    "Capable of hardness, capable of softness."


    "Today, I can finally say I have thoroughly comprehended the first layer of the ''Stellar Realm,'' ''Body as the Stars,''" Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    This was not a major breakthrough.


    Having thoroughly comprehended the first layer, the skill realm still counted as the perfection of the Fourth Stage.


    From subtlety of spirit to the Unity of Heaven and Man in Martial Path, it was not that easy to breakthrough.


    Even though Li Yuan''s progress was extremely fast.


    He could now only say he was continuously accumulating, laying a solid foundation for comprehending the Second Layer "Subtlety of the Stellar Dust."


    The so-called epiphany required deep enough accumulation first.


    If one never seriously pondered, never thought deeply, and had no accumulation, what could possibly be realized in a flash of insight?


    "Tomorrow, I will be able to return to Jiang City," Li Yuan thought of this and showed a slight smile.


    It had been almost half a year since he saw his uncle, aunt, and siblings, although they occasionally video-called.


    But for a moment, Li Yuan still missed home a bit.


    Home, a place that forever invokes nostalgia.


    "After a half-month holiday, I will head off to the Mingxu Star Realm," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    This had been the plan all along.


    "With my current strength, I should have enough assurance to make my way through the First Level Star Realm," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ----


    [Life Level: 15.8 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 16545 kilograms


    Speed: 57.2 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 24.6 Level


    Willpower: 29 Level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 25% (Current Limit 25%)


    Star Meridian: 10 Level


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Stage 99%), Movement Technique (Fourth Stage 99%), Fist Technique (Fourth Stage 99%)


    ...


    "After returning home, relax a bit, spend more time with my uncle and aunt," Li Yuan contemplated, "but as long as I practice ''All Heavens'' Stars'' every day and run the Star Meridian, breaking through to the 16th level in physical quality is no problem."


    With just over 16 levels of physical quality, combined with the limit of Fourth Stage skill, and the Origin Power Battle Suit... Li Yuan dared to engage in life and death battles with Martial Artists of the 18th or even the 19th level.


    "Just in terms of strength."


    "I should be catching up with Instructor Xing now," Li Yuan suddenly smiled, "But compared to Teacher Xu Bo, I should still fall short; after all, Teacher Xu Bo is at the Fifth Stage Perfect Skill."


    ...


    Late at night, Li Yuan was packing up the things for his return home.


    Such as the unit of ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal'' and a unit of ''Hundred Marrows Spirit Restoratives'' specially given by Li Yang, in preparation for his cultivation in the Mingxu Star Realm in January.


    This way, he wouldn''t have to make a special trip back to school.


    With Li Yuan''s current strength, as long as he was cautious, he could guard such treasures.


    And things like the High Origin Spirit Spring, he could wait to purchase them when he returned to Jiang City.


    "Hmm."


    "There are also special local gifts I''ve prepared for my uncle, aunt, and siblings," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    He had bought quite a few local specialties, but the gifts for family were the most thoughtfully chosen, all packed in his bag.


    People like Teacher Xu Bo, Wan Qinghe, and others had a share.


    Even for Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan had specially bought a present, although he was not sure whether she would return to Jiang City for the holiday.


    Li Yuan had already sent the gifts for these people to Jiang City the day before.


    "It''s four in the morning."


    "Practice some spear technique, continue until seven o''clock, then after breakfast, take a flying vehicle to the airport," Li Yuan said to himself.


    Cultivation had become ingrained in his bones.


    ...


    Under the night, as Li Yuan was tranquilly practicing his spear inside the villa.


    In the distant Jiangbei Province, deep underground within a hidden river, the river flowed on.


    Large-bodied Fish Spirit Clan warriors with green skin were crawling along the river in the darkness.


    Their racial talents allowed them to easily adapt to this environment.


    "Roar~"


    "Hurry up~ only three hundred kilometers left."


    "Target, Jiang City of the human race," the multitude of Fish Spirit Clan warriors communicated in their native language.


    ...


    December 15th.


    At noon, Li Yuan, who took a ''supersonic flyer,'' appeared at Tianhe Airport of Jiang City.


    "Jiang City, I''m back." Li Yuan stepped off the flying vehicle and showed a smile.


    Not far away.


    "Li Yuan, welcome home," Wan Qinghe was standing nearby to greet him.

 Chapter 182: 152 Fish Spirit Tide

    "Uncle Wan, how come you''re here?" Li Yuan was quite surprised.


    His itinerary had been communicated only to his family, and a few classmates like An Nong and G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n.


    Nobody else knew.


    "Haha, wasn''t I fishing by the lake yesterday? I happened to bump into your uncle and we talked about you," Wan Qinghe said with a smile. "Only then did I learn that you would be returning today."


    "It just so happens that I needed to report to the City Martial Hall today. I finished my duties this morning, and thought why not come pick you up," Wan Qinghe said with a smile.


    "That''s quite a coincidence," Li Yuan joined in with a laugh. "Well, it''s great. It means I can ride in Uncle Wan''s flight vehicle and get home quickly."


    Li Yuan did not call out the other person. A coincidence like this?


    Even if it truly was, Uncle Wan had no need to pick him up from the airport himself.


    It was over ten kilometers from the Martial Hall to the airport.


    "Alright, you have a short holiday, so the sooner you get home, the better. I''ll give you a lift," Wan Qinghe said with a chuckle. "Honestly, with your level, you could have reserved a flight vehicle from the Martial Hall yourself."


    "It didn''t occur to me," Li Yuan said with a chuckle.


    "Let''s go."


    The two passed through the inspection channel and headed toward the small flight vehicle parked hundreds of meters away.


    ...


    Aboard the flight vehicle.


    "The situation has deteriorated this much?" Li Yuan listened as Wan Qinghe described the situation in Jiangbei.


    This was a topic that Li Yuan had deliberately brought up.


    And it was something he wanted to understand.


    "Yes, the attacks this year are unusually frequent," Wan Qinghe said gravely, nodding his head. "Starting with that incident at the beginning of the year when you received the Young Hero award, the scale has been intensifying.


    August is the flood season¡­ According to past patterns, after entering the dry season, the Fish Spirit Star Realm should have calmed down a bit, but this year, they have intensified their attacks instead."


    "Especially in the last month, it has been a virtual smoke-covered battlefield," Wan Qinghe continued with a sigh. "The attacks Jiang City faced were on a smaller scale. Shi Zhou and Yizhou were the ones that really suffered."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, he had been following the news recently and was aware of the general situation.


    "This Fish Spirit Clan is humanoid, and presumably with high intelligence. Could they all be so fierce and fearless of death?" Li Yuan frowned.


    "From what has been hypothesized by the higher-ups, a new ''Fish Spirit Tide'' may be about to erupt," Wan Qinghe said with a light sigh.


    "Fish Spirit Tide?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    He hadn''t heard of it.


    "This is a concept that the Martial Hall has only recently proposed."


    "As far as I know, warriors of the Fish Spirit Clan, like those you initially encountered, are akin to ''worker ants'' among ants, absolutely obeying the commands of their leaders. If the leader orders them to die, they will comply," Wan Qinghe explained.


    "Worker ants?" Li Yuan''s mind raced with numerous possibilities. This kind of civilization model had been encountered by human civilization among various ''Alien Civilizations'' before.


    "It seems they reproduce at a great pace... In the past decades, the Fish Spirit Star Realm has launched three massive attacks on Jiangbei Province."


    "One was fifteen years ago."


    "Another was thirty-three years ago."


    "The earliest was forty-seven years ago," Wan Qinghe quickly said. "According to the records, before every large-scale attack, the number of small-scale attacks would consistently rise."


    "Roughly every fifteen years?" Li Yuan said, though his mind was dwelling on much more.


    Fifteen years¡­ that was the very year his parents died¡­


    "Yes."


    "So, it''s speculated that a new cycle of the Fish Spirit Tide is imminent," Wan Qinghe said. "But the Fish Spirit Clan''s main target for their attacks is not yet clear. From current indications, it''s guessed that it might be Shi Zhou, Yizhou."


    "After all, those areas are nearest to the entrance of the Fish Spirit Star Realm, and there has also been significant movement of Fish Spirit Clan warriors."


    "During the three historical large-scale attacks, they all occurred within a thousand kilometers around the entrance of the Fish Spirit Star Realm."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The speculation made sense.


    "That''s why the military and the two great Martial Halls have recently initiated extensive operations along Xiang River," Wan Qinghe said. "For example, some of Jiang City''s mechanized armies and Martial Artist defense troops have already been surreptitiously transferred to Shi Zhou and Yizhou."


    "What about the other directions in Jiangbei Province?" inquired Li Yuan hesitantly.


    "No way around it," Wan Qinghe shook his head. "No one can be sure if the Fish Spirit Clan will launch the Fish Spirit Tide, and if they do, where the main attacks will take place."


    "We can only covertly focus on the critical defense areas. If there''s indeed a large-scale attack, we''ll concentrate our forces to provide support¡­ After all, the Fish Spirit Star Realm is not a primary concern."


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Indeed, within Xia Country''s borders there were numerous star realms, and the whole human civilization had even more.


    There were many star realms that posed a greater threat than the Fish Spirit Star Realm¡­ Human civilization had limited resources and had to focus on key defensive measures.


    Moreover, some star realms like ''Rob Sea'' had armies stationed year-round, engaging in large-scale intense warfare with Alien Civilizations¡­ The resources expended annually were astronomical.


    In comparison, the Fish Spirit Star Realm indeed seemed less significant.


    "Don''t overthink it, Jiang City is still relatively safe," Wan Qinghe said with a smile. "You should go home today and spend time with your uncle and aunt. Come over to my place for lunch tomorrow."


    "I''ve also made arrangements with Teacher Xu, and he''ll join us tomorrow; he lives not far from here," Wan Qinghe offered a reason that Li Yuan couldn''t refuse.


    "OK," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Shortly thereafter.


    The flight vehicle returned to Nanhu Starfire Community, arriving at the edge of Li Yuan''s family villa.


    Li Yuan and Wan Qinghe disembarked from the flight vehicle.


    "Uncle Wan."


    "Wait a moment, I''ve brought you a gift. Take it with you," Li Yuan said with a smile. "The gift was sent here in advance. I intended to give it to you when I came to visit."


    At the villa''s entrance, Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, having received the notice, came out with smiles.


    "Uncle, Aunt." Li Yuan set his bag down.


    He then took a gift box from Li Changzhou and handed it back to Wan Qinghe. "Uncle Wan, I wasn''t sure what else to bring, so inside there''s a commemorative set from Kunlun Martial University''s 150th anniversary reunion."


    "It''s a set I had the school teachers make up again," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Although the anniversary has passed, it''s still a good memento."


    Wan Qinghe was also a graduate of Kunlun Martial University.


    "Thank you very much," Wan Qinghe replied with a smile. He had missed the 150th anniversary of Kunlun Martial University last year and regretted it.


    Wan Qinghe had only mentioned it to Li Yuan once, and he hadn''t expected Li Yuan to take it to heart.


    He brought him a souvenir.


    "Alright, then I''ll be off," Wan Qinghe said with a smile, "Remember to come to my house tomorrow."


    "Okay."


    ...


    Wan Qinghe returned to his villa in the South Lake Starfire neighborhood.


    "Tie Ta." Wan Qinghe skillfully started a call, laughing, "Li Yuan has agreed to come for dinner, so stop declining. Just join us."


    "Li Yuan was just on the aircraft, incessantly talking about visiting you. Why don''t you, mentor and student, spend more time together?"


    After hanging up on Xu Bo''s call.


    Wan Qinghe thought for a moment, then sent a message to Song Yi, "Li Yuan has returned to Jiang City today."


    He turned off the smart wristband.


    "This Mr. Song, owes me another small favor now," Wan Qinghe revealed a slight smile.


    "Mr. Fei."


    "Your status is too high, it''s not easy to be close with Li Yuan''s family," Wan Qinghe muttered to himself, "My status and strength... are just about right."


    "Hey! In some respects, you should learn from me."


    ...


    After returning home and giving the gifts to his uncle and aunt.


    The family was in high spirits as they enjoyed the lunch Auntie Chen Hui had prepared early in the morning.


    "Uncle Wan goes fishing by the lake often?" Li Yuan asked while eating, listening to his uncle talk about things at home.


    "Hmm." Li Changzhou nodded, laughing, "It''s hard to say whether Lord Wan likes fishing, but he certainly enjoys chatting."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    His uncle had no other hobbies except for fishing.


    "Uncle, it''s fine, talk about whatever you need to," Li Yuan said with a smile, "In the future, I will naturally help Uncle Wan whenever I can."


    "That''s how it should be; he has been kind to our family," Li Changzhou said.


    Gradually.


    Li Yuan started talking about some things in school, some of which he couldn''t disclose according to the rules, but most of the content was still discussable¡­ however, Li Yuan didn''t mention that he would head to the Star Realm after the holidays.


    Good news should be shared with the elders early, to let them be happy for a longer period.


    For example, when coming home, Li Yuan had told his uncle and aunt a week in advance.


    But bad or dangerous news is best shared later, to spare them the worry.


    "Qian Qian and Muhua are boarding at school?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "Yes."


    "Directly affiliated junior high of the Martial Hall does that, apart from the weekends, only Wednesday nights they can return home," Chen Hui said with a smile, "They''ll be home tomorrow."


    "Then, I''ll pick them up tomorrow," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I''ll give them a surprise."


    It has been a long time since he saw his brother and sister.


    ...


    The first day back home, Li Yuan was especially joyful, chatting with his uncle and aunt for a long while.


    After dinner, a guest arrived at their home.


    "Hall Master Song?" Li Yuan greeted with a smile, "Please have a seat."


    "Li Yuan." Song Yi was brimming with a warm smile, rather elegant, bringing several gifts.


    After a bit of conversation.


    She had no other purpose for visiting, purely a courtesy call, and left after less than fifteen minutes.


    "These who can be a Hall Master, they all have sharp noses," Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Uncle Wan was like this, and so was Song Yi.


    His insight into Song Yi''s thoughts was clear, and he did not refuse the other''s kindness.


    "All I should do is make myself stronger," Li Yuan saw through the essence of it all.


    ...


    At nine o''clock at night, his uncle and aunt went to their respective beds.


    The underground Martial Arts Room was brightly lit.


    "It''s time to start a new day of cultivation," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile, "From now until seven in the morning, that''s ten hours."


    It''s the holiday for the other students as well.


    They socialize, catch up with family, and rest at night, greatly reducing their cultivation time, but for Li Yuan... Holiday?


    It merely changed his cultivation time from all day to half a day.


    Truly all day, half a day.


    "At least I can''t neglect the Visualization Method, the absorption of Origin Power," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    In skills, Li Yuan had reached the limit of Fourth Level; it''s difficult to break through even with repeated intense cultivation in the short term.


    There is a rhythm to exertion and relaxation; a bit of easing up now might not be a bad thing.


    However, whether it''s the growth of spiritual power or Physical Quality, they both require steady, continuous effort.


    Not a single day should be wasted.


    "All Heavens'' Stars." Li Yuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes for meditation, and with a thought began running the Life Star Vein inside his body, making countless Origin Powers surge in.

    As the Origin Power circulated, surging throughout his body, passing through every part of his physique, it continuously transformed his tendons, bones, and flesh.


    ...


    December 16th, noon.


    Li Yuan went to Wan Qinghe''s home.


    In addition to Xu Bo, there was also a Vice Hall Master Left Hall Master from the Starfire Guan Mountain subdivision.


    Originally, it was she who represented Starfire Martial Hall at Li Yuan''s "Youth Hero Commendation" and became acquainted with Li Yuan.


    "Teacher, you joined the ''Patrol Squad''?" Li Yuan listened as Teacher Xu Bo recounted.

 Chapter 183: 153: Eruption! The Martial Artists Calling!

    The patrol team consists of martial artists who, in a sense, serve as militiamen and generally are not drafted for war.


    Only at critical moments, such as when armies or warrior teams from the Martial Hall cannot hold the line... would they be drafted.


    "Every martial artist is a member of the patrol reserve team," Xu Bo said with a smile. "Like you, I have heard from Lord Wan that your physical quality is probably at level 13 or even higher."


    "But since you''re still a student, you have not been listed in the reserve team," Xu Bo said with a smile.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile, his achievements and actual strength were probably known to some extent at the level of Fei Qian from the Martial Hall.


    People like Wan Qinghe, the Left Hall Master, knew very little, and Xu Bo knew even less.


    Li Yuan had no intention of ''showing off'' his physical quality in front of the elders.


    "I used to be in the patrol reserve team as well. Now that the warrior teams in Jiang City have all gone to Shi Zhou, many reserve team martial artists have been temporarily drafted into the ''official patrol team,''" Xu Bo said with a smile. "I volunteered to join."


    "Volunteered?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    "Li Yuan, don''t underestimate your teacher," the Left Hall Master said with a smile. "If your teacher hadn''t been injured, his past strength would have been much stronger than mine, probably close to Lord Wan."


    "Back in the Star Realm, your teacher was quite famous," the Left Hall Master said with feeling.


    Li Yuan looked at Xu Bo in surprise.


    He knew that Xu Bo had once ventured into the Star Realm and retired due to injuries, but this was the first time he had learned so many details.


    "Let''s eat."


    "Let''s not talk about the past," Xu Bo said with a chuckle. "Teaching at the school now is also good. When you venture into the Star Realm in the future, you would be fighting in your teacher''s stead."


    "Yes," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Take good care of yourself, teacher. Guiding more students is also making a contribution."


    The midday banquet ended.


    Li Yuan went to the City Martial Hall to visit Fei Qian.


    ...


    At four o''clock in the afternoon, Li Yuan rushed to the Martial Hall-affiliated middle school, preparing to pick up his younger brother and sister.


    On the way, he also passed by ''Guan Mountain District No. 1 High School,'' his old alma mater.


    The two schools were very close to each other.


    Looking at the familiar school gate and the unfamiliar students... there was still half an hour before Li Qianqian and Li Muhua got out of school.


    But Li Yuan only glanced at Guan Mountain District No. 1 High School from a distance without entering again.


    Li Yuan believed that the gatekeeper would recognize him and that entering for a stroll wouldn''t be difficult.


    However, there was no point any longer.


    "Returning to familiar places is nothing more than carving a notch on the boat to find a sword lost at sea," Li Yuan sighed silently.


    Having gone through several combat assessments and experiencing continuous transformation, he was about to embark on a life-and-death journey.


    Li Yuan could hardly possess the same mindset he had in high school; those days and classmates were gone forever.


    ...


    Just after five o''clock in the afternoon, the Martial Hall-affiliated junior high school burst with students flooding out like a tide.


    Many parents gathered at the school gate, with Li Yuan among them, looking very young.


    Though he hadn''t informed his younger siblings in advance, with his eyesight... he couldn''t miss any person entering or leaving the school gate.


    Suddenly.


    "Qianqian and Muhua," Li Yuan saw the young boy and girl leaving the school from afar, and with a movement quick as a gust of wind, he covered more than ten meters to appear in front of them. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It took both Li Qianqian and Li Muhua by surprise.


    Instinctively.


    In surprise, Li Muhua stepped forward and reached out to pull Li Qianqian back behind him.


    Then, the two recognized the person before them, and their eyes brightened: "Brother!!"


    "Big brother!" Both were quite excited.


    Li Qianqian even leapt directly onto Li Yuan, wrapping her arms around his neck, overwhelmed with emotion.


    "Get down, there are lots of people," Li Yuan laughed, patting Li Qianqian''s hand.


    "You''re my brother, what''s there to fear?" Li Qianqian pouted.


    "Big brother, why didn''t you at least give us a heads-up," Li Muhua laughed, looking quite different from half a year ago.


    He had grown taller and much more robust.


    "I..." Li Yuan started to explain with a smile when suddenly, his smart ring vibrated intensely.


    "Huh?" Li Yuan instinctively looked.


    A map-like image appeared on the smart ring, with numerous flashing red lights.


    "So many?" Li Yuan''s face changed.


    The alert that automatically popped up on the smart ring was from Xia Country''s intelligent defense network''s ''Star Realm Creature Early Warning System.''


    As an ''Entry Rank Martial Artist'' officially registered, any Entry Rank Star Realm Creature detected within a radius of ten kilometers would be reported to Li Yuan.


    Requesting his aid.


    "Just within a ten-kilometer radius, are there so many Entry Rank creatures?" Li Yuan''s heart trembled, scanning at least hundreds of red dots scattered across the entire map.


    "Brother? What''s wrong?" Li Qianqian and Li Muhua noticed the change in Li Yuan''s mood.


    Before Li Yuan could reply.


    "Rumble~" The ground under their feet suddenly shook slightly as if an earthquake had struck.


    "What''s going on?"


    "What''s happening?" Not just Li Yuan, Li Muhua, and others, but many students, parents, and teachers nearby all showed puzzled expressions.


    Unaware of what was happening.


    "This is bad," Li Yuan suddenly stared at the busy street not far away, and roared out: "This is bad, run, get into the school, there are Star Realm creatures."


    "What?" Li Qianqian and Li Muhua''s faces went pale.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had already picked up his siblings and rushed into the school, heading straight to the side of the teaching building.


    The school''s interior had defense systems; even the floors were reinforced, making it relatively safe.


    "Hurry, there are Star Realm creatures, it''s an alert!!"


    "Attack! A large-scale attack."


    "Hurry." Not only Li Yuan, but many parents who came to pick up their children and who were martial artists had also received the alert.


    Just then.


    "Boom!" A muffled explosion sounded suddenly, and many people saw.


    In the middle of the street, where cars used to come and go, the road suddenly collapsed, sending mud and stones flying, creating a massive crater.

 Chapter 184: 153: Eruption! The Martial Artists Calling!_2

    The next second.


    "Aaang~~"


    "Ao! Ao!" Sharp and terrifying sounds howled from within the pit.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Suddenly, humanoid creatures about two meters tall with four arms, emerald green skin, and long fish-like tails leaped out of the pit.


    They were covered in droplets of water and dirt, as if they had just clawed their way out of the mud.


    The only thing more terrifying than their appearance was the sharpness of their four arm claws, like daggers, making one''s heart tremble.


    Fish Spirit Clan!!


    A large number of Fish Spirit Clan members were surging out of the collapsed pit like a tide.


    "It''s the Fish Spirit Clan."


    "Run quickly."


    "Aah!!" The mass of students and parents gathered at the school gates panicked instantly, with a surge of screams and commotion arising.


    Numerous faces turned deathly pale.


    So many Fish Spirit Clan members? Many had never seen such a scene before.


    However, most had gone through "emergency rescue training" since childhood, so the students and their parents immediately sprinted along the streets in both directions, fleeing for their lives.


    Or violently surged back into the school.


    These students and parents reacted quickly, but the fully Entry Rank ''Fish Spirit Clan Warriors'' were even faster.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The first dozens of Fish Spirit Clan members that leaped out of the pit had their eyes glowing with crimson light. The moment they burst from the cave, they turned into streaks of light, charging directly toward the crowd.


    Their order was simple¡ªslaughter!


    Kill all the humans they saw.


    "Boom! Boom!" Not far away in the sky, several combat drones had appeared and were speeding over.


    Only.


    At this moment, similar pits had appeared all over Jiang City, and a large number of Fish Spirit Clan members were emerging from the rivers and lakes... Reinforcements were doomed to not arrive promptly at every location.


    This was a disastrous attack!!


    "Pfft~"


    "Pfft~ Pfft!" In an instant, students and parents who were close to the cave were killed.


    Most humans were too weak compared to the Entry Rank Fish Spirit Clan Warriors.


    They had no power to resist.


    "What?"


    "They..." Li Qianqian and Li Muhua''s faces also turned ghostly pale; they were just middle school students, how could they have witnessed such a scene?


    "You two stay here and don''t move," a deep voice suddenly rang out beside their ears.


    Immediately following¡ª


    The countless students and parents fleeing in terror, and even ordinary people further away, saw it.


    "Boom¡ª!"


    In their line of sight, a black figure appeared, his speed bursting to horrific levels instantly, covering fifty meters with nearly a single dash.


    In his hand appeared to be a short saber.


    "Whish! Whish! Whish!" Terrifying saber lights swooped through the sky, causing the air to roar with each pass. Several Fish Spirit Clan Warriors that had been charging toward the school gates were instantly cleaved apart.


    Some had their heads flying.


    Others were slashed in half.


    And some were cut through the waist, blood spraying and the scent of blood drifting in the air.


    "Huff!" That black figure, holding a combat saber, once again charged toward another group of Fish Spirit Clan Warriors with a roar.


    "It''s a Martial Artist."


    "There''s a High Level Warrior." Amidst their terror, many people, while watching, showed expressions of relief and excitement.


    Martial Artists! Strong Martial Artists were the backbone of resisting the creatures of the Star Realm. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Brother?"


    "Big Brother?" Li Qianqian and Li Muhua watched the scene, holding their breath with shock and excitement.


    That black figure.


    Who else could it be but their big brother, Li Yuan?


    "Quick. Kill them!"


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    School grounds, just a few seconds slower, saw over a dozen figures rush out, each holding a variety of weapons.


    They were the Martial Arts Teachers of the school.


    To be a Martial Arts Teacher, one must be at least a Level 12 Martial Artist, all possessing certain strength.


    Without any hesitation.


    These Martial Arts Teachers had already flown over the school walls, leaped over students and parents, and charged towards the Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    However.


    On the entire street, the most terrifying human warrior was naturally Li Yuan, who without hesitation exhibited "Subtlety of the Mind," instantly reaching a burst speed of nearly 80 meters per second.


    With a lightning-like burst, in just a few seconds, he had consecutively killed over 20 Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    "Always carrying a short blade with me wasn''t a mistake after all," Li Yuan''s eyes were ice cold.


    He stepped over the body of a Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    Slaughter?


    For Li Yuan, killing these Fish Spirit Clan members was like going through one virtual battle after another.


    Not the slightest bit of mercy or softness.


    After confirming the safety of his younger brother and sister, he erupted into action without delay.


    What is the purpose of practicing the Martial Path?


    To kill the enemy! To protect the country!


    This is the sacred duty of a warrior.


    However, these Fish Spirit Clan warriors were scattering in all directions, and Li Yuan could only block one.


    "Da da da da~" Tactical drones that rapidly provided support from the high sky had started accurate pinpoint shooting, doing their utmost to kill some Fish Spirit Clan warriors at the end of the street.


    At the end of the street.


    Hisss~ Hisss~ Spider-like mini robots were also speeding toward the scene at speeds surpassing 30 meters per second.


    One could say the crisis here was rapidly being resolved.


    "Roar~"


    A deep sound suddenly arose from a collapsed pit, followed by a Fish Spirit Clan warrior over three meters tall, leaping out of the cave like a small giant.


    Its four arms were holding four short blades that looked rough but suited its stature.


    Gleams of purple lines on its teal skin, distinct from the other Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    "It''s a high-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior."


    "It has purple lines."


    "At least Level 18. With so many purple lines, it''s likely Level 19," the faces of many Martial Arts Teachers fighting the Fish Spirit Clan warriors changed.


    At least Level 18!


    Such strength surpassed that of any Martial Arts Teacher present.


    Even for battle drones and combat robots, even if armed with thermal weapons, dealing with such a high-level creature from the Alien Race would be much more difficult.


    With such a level of power, their speed and reaction time were too fast, easily able to dodge a hail of bullets.


    "Boom!"


    This high-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior leaped tens of meters in a single bound, heading straight for the school''s gate... no, it was targeting Li Yuan, the strongest presence there.


    "Be careful."


    "Get back," many Martial Arts Teachers shouted in alarm, and numerous students and parents were frightened.


    "Big brother," the hearts of Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were instantly gripped with fear.


    They weren''t foolish; they knew very well: their big brother had just started college not long ago, could he withstand such a strong Fish Spirit Clan warrior?


    But, beyond everyone''s expectations.


    Li Yuan, who had just killed another Fish Spirit Clan warrior, showed no hesitation or fear.


    "Boom!" He burst forth, leaping over ten meters, and met the high-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior like lightning.


    "Boom!"


    "Clang~" "Clang~" "Thump~!!" The battle was not the one-sided affair many had anticipated.


    Li Yuan burst out surprising speed and strength, engaging in a terrifying clash with the Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    "Rumble~" The terrifying force of several tens of thousands of kilograms erupted from both parties, affecting the surrounding concrete ground, spraying stones and cracking the pavement.


    In fact, two Fish Spirit Clan warriors were directly killed by the collateral damage.


    "18.9 level, really formidable," Li Yuan stared intently at his opponent.


    Li Yuan had determined the Life Level of his opponent through Divine Palace Inquiry the moment the battle began.


    Level 18.9!


    Fist Strength close to fifty thousand kilograms! Burst Speed approaching 100 meters per second.


    If such a high-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior were left to slaughter, it alone could cause the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people.


    "You, must die," Li Yuan''s eyes were bloodshot as he erupted in full force, his saber flashing continuously.

 Chapter 185: 154: Martial Artist Li Yuan

    ```


    "Boom!""Boom!"


    Li Yuan and the high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior fiercely clashed, their speeds both extremely fast, like lightning, with terrifying airwaves striking in all directions. Nearby trees burst explosively.


    With the release of strength, the concrete ground cracked along their path, sending a large number of stones flying, the velocity of these stones astonishing. If they were to hit an ordinary person, it would result in death or serious injury.


    Luckily!


    Most ordinary people had already fled, and Li Yuan had consciously led the opponent to fight in the middle of the street, which, for the time being, had prevented a wider range of collateral damage.


    "This?"


    "Too terrifying."


    "Such a powerful Martial Artist, he''s so young." Those who escaped into the school, parents, and students alike, were shocked beyond fright, staring at the horrific battle erupting hundreds of meters away on the street.


    "Big brother he..." Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were watching intently.


    Although they were shocked by their elder brother''s strength, they were even more worried.


    "Quick."


    "Get inside, the school''s defense system has been activated, and we''ve called for help." Many teachers were continuously ushering students and staff to the deeper parts of the building.


    "Li Qianqian, Li Muhua, is that your elder brother?" A teacher ran up to them, her face anxious.


    "Yes." Li Qianqian nodded decisively.


    "Come upstairs, don''t stay here, it''s dangerous." The teacher spoke in a low voice, pulling them into the flow of people next to them, while two other teachers helped clear a path.


    ...Hum~Hum~Hum~


    More combat drones had appeared in the sky, and while they were eliminating ordinary Fish Spirit Clan warriors, several drones were also circling Li Yuan at high speed.


    Trying to assist Li Yuan.


    Unfortunately, Li Yuan and the high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior were completely locked in fierce combat. With each movement covering more than ten meters, they were too fast.


    And the Fish Spirit Clan warrior had much stronger physical quality, managing to unleash a strike with a saber that surpassed the force of Li Yuan''s refined state of "Subtlety", leaving him with no chance to escape.


    Therefore, the drones could only dare to hover around, forming a "firepower defense belt", preventing the high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior from fleeing, but they did not dare to open fire.


    These drones and combat robots all had a complete "intelligent judgment system".


    If ordinary people were being slaughtered, they would fire decisively, even if this meant affecting a few people, all to prevent more from being killed.


    But now? Under their intelligent system''s judgement, Li Yuan had a hope of winning, and as a powerful Martial Artist, he was extremely important, thus they could not open fire.


    "Huff!"


    "Huff!" Li Yuan''s figure flickered unpredictably, as he exerted his full strength to apply the Dragon Movement Technique, trying to escape, but he was immediately followed by terrifying flashes of saber light, slashing at him like lightning.


    Forcing Li Yuan to avoid taking the hits directly.


    "There''s too big a gap in physical quality." Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold, he was at level 15.9.


    His Fist Strength wasn''t even 18,000 kilograms, and his "Subtlety" state''s burst was only 35,000 kilograms.


    The opponent? Likely a High Third Stage technique, not too bad, with their Fist Strength exceeding 50,000 kilograms in a burst.


    The key was their weapons.


    If Li Yuan had been using a Long Spear, he most likely would have won already... but the short saber he carried was an emergency backup.


    As for why he did not start with a Long Spear? The ordinary weapons in the school simply couldn''t withstand such a skirmish. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Could a tens of thousands of kilograms instant force burst, clashing weapons, be ordinary?


    "Kill!""Kill!"


    "With a physical quality not considered strong, probably at 17.5 level, a single Combat Saber has withstand my four Combat Sabers." The high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior was extremely anxious.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang clang clang!!" Saber light splattered everywhere, and the four flashes of saber light from the high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared continuously, obviously, each strike was faster.


    Yet Li Yuan managed to block each one with a single saber.


    At this moment, the combat technique Li Yuan displayed was nothing short of perfect, even artistic.


    The high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior did not understand human language but was nearly as intelligent as humans, which didn''t impede him from recognizing the situation.


    "This human Martial Artist must be at least a High Fourth Level in technique."


    "Being so young, he is definitely one of the elite geniuses among humans." The Fish Spirit Clan high-rank warrior made a judgment, eyeing Li Yuan determinedly: "I must kill him."


    "Killing him is more useful than slaughtering ten thousand ordinary humans."


    The high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior understood this well.


    Flee? He had been delayed here for too long.


    According to the Mother Fish''s original command, once a warrior''s movements were exposed, they should engage in "raid warfare".


    Raid warfare, similar to guerrilla tactics, involved fleeing while slaughtering ordinary people along the way, as opposed to head-on confrontations.


    Stationary warfare? Not to mention the ferociousness of human hot weapons.


    Simply any Prime Warrior could slaughter hundreds or thousands of Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    The difference between First Rank and Second Rank was not even a contest.


    The Fish Spirit Star Realm was a First Level Star Realm; only First Rank Fish Spirit Clan warriors could pass through the Star Realm portal. Wanting to reach Second Rank? They had to break through once inside Blue Star, which had an extremely low probability.


    Hence, in the frequent raids occurring in Jiangbei Province, there were almost no Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    Fish Spirit Clan warriors at level 18 or 19 were already considered top-tier fighters.


    Suddenly.


    "An opening." The high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s eyes lit up as he changed the roar of his short blade, furiously cleaving towards Li Yuan''s arm.


    If this slash were to land, by all means, it should sever Li Yuan''s arm.


    But!!


    To the high-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s shock and anger, at the very moment his short blade was about to collide with Li Yuan''s arm,


    Li Yuan''s short-sleeved shirt instantly solidified as if it were armor, and along with his skin surface, a subtle yellowish ''light film'' appeared.


    It took his slash.


    And Li Yuan''s arm, far from being chopped off, did not even suffer a fracture or bleed.


    ```

 Chapter 186: 154 Martial Artist Li Yuan_2

    His short blade, it was as if he had struck a thick and immeasurably heavy steel plate.


    "Origin Power Battle Suit!" The senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior had come to understand, heart filled with shock and rage, "How can he, a First Rank warrior, use an Origin Power Battle Suit?"


    He realized in an instant, it was a trap!


    But it was too late.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang!" Li Yuan took two lightning-fast blows head-on.


    The terrifying impact carried by the short blade, though weakened by the Origin Power Battle Suit, still caused Li Yuan''s blood to roil within his body.


    However, it was within his capacity to endure.


    And of course, there was a reason he took such a risk.


    "Puchi!" Li Yuan''s short blade had a faint yellow glow on its surface, hardly noticeable.


    Origin Power Enhancement!


    "Puchi~" The speed of the short blade suddenly soared, ruthlessly striking the arm of the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior. The blade, with the power of Origin Energy, was incredibly sharp, directly severing the warrior''s tough arm.


    The blade light flashed!


    Puchi~


    The arm, which even ordinary bullets could hardly damage, was instantly severed and fell.


    Blood splattered.


    This seemingly unassuming short blade was actually a Second Rank Origin Power Weapon; once augmented with Origin Power, its potency was far beyond that of common firearms!


    "Ao~" S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Heart-stabbing pain surged into the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s heart, and he was both alarmed and enraged.


    Roaring with a slew of words Li Yuan couldn''t understand.


    He didn''t comprehend foreign languages.


    "It seems that I''ll have to learn these Star Realm languages later on," the thought suddenly flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    Human civilization has surely studied these languages from the Foreign Civilization.


    "Aaaa~" The senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior, enduring the intense pain in his arm, swung his remaining three arms, fighting desperately to take Li Yuan down.


    "I can block all four arms; what''s three?" Li Yuan''s eyes were cold.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan did not use any more Origin Power, instead, his Star Meridians operated within his body. His cultivation of Origin Power was already scarce to begin with.


    After all, Li Yuan was not yet a true ''Prime Warrior.''


    Moreover, with many battle drones under surveillance, Li Yuan was not willing to expose this secret.


    Severing one of the warrior''s arms was enough.


    "Clang!" "Bang!" The two were still locked in fierce combat, but the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior was doomed to fail.


    It took less than ten seconds.


    "Pur~" Li Yuan seized another weakness, another slash crossed the warrior''s arm.


    But without the Origin Power Enhancement, this cut only opened a huge gash, blood pouring profusely.


    "Aooo~~" The Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared.


    He finally recognized the reality that he could not kill Li Yuan; continuing the fight would only result in his being thoroughly slain by Li Yuan.


    Suddenly,


    "Boom!" The senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior abruptly retreated, trying to break through toward the dense crowd in the distance.


    "Dadada~"


    Already positioned high in the sky, nearly ten combat drones, forming a ''crossfire net,'' erupted instantly, raining down metal bullets.


    An all-encompassing strike, leaving no room to dodge.


    "Boom~" One of the ''heavy combat drones,'' decidedly fired an ''armor-piercing round.''


    "Pur~" "Pur~" "Pur~" Countless bullets showered onto the senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s body.


    "Bang~"


    With a violent explosion, the already injured senior Fish Spirit Clan warrior fell to the ground.


    He died with his eyes wide open!


    As a warrior near level 19, his mission had been to kill at least five hundred ordinary humans... yet he ended with zero kills.


    "Huff!"


    Li Yuan stood still, not pursuing; first, such a direct chase was unlikely to be successful.


    Secondly, he had already noticed the many combat drones, knowing the warrior had no escape.


    "Not a Second Rank Prime Warrior."


    "If it were urban warfare it would be better," Li Yuan inwardly sighed, "Otherwise, in the open, even high-ranking warriors at level 18 or 19 would succumb to the onslaught of numerous firearms."


    In the end, carbon-based organisms have their limits.


    Even if they absorb Origin Power, driving Life Evolution, toughening bones and skin... but before becoming Prime Warriors, there were still bounds.


    "If I were to face this situation and fully activate the Origin Power Battle Suit, relying on my movement technique, I should be able to withstand the impact and rush into the distant building," Li Yuan mused silently.


    With an Origin Power Battle Suit, the chances of survival were at least ten times higher.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    A combat drone flew down, its gun barrel pointing backwards.


    "Respected Martial Artist Li Yuan, thank you for your contribution to Jiang City. Your merits have been recorded. Once the crisis in Jiang City is completely resolved, we will tally your contributions," an electronic voice transmitted from the drone.


    These drones could sense everyone''s smart wristbands and quickly match identities.


    "Good," Li Yuan nodded.


    This was standard procedure.


    "Martial Artist Li Yuan, you may go home to check on your situation, or you can join the ''Patrol Team'' nearby to participate in the city''s rescue," the drone''s electronic voice said, "The people of Jiang City thank you for your dedication."


    Having said that,


    Whoosh! While three combat drones remained above the pit to maintain vigilance, the other drones quickly ascended and sped off toward other streets... Battles were erupting all over Jiang City.


    Hisss~hisss~hisss~ Several small spider robots, meanwhile, scurried and jumped into the pit, beginning data searches, inquiry... It was crucial to ascertain the movements of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    ...


    Whoosh! Li Yuan returned to the school entrance, where the Martial Artist teachers had also arrived.


    Their gazes towards Li Yuan had changed.


    As Martial Artists, they saw it clearly: one-on-one, Li Yuan had even forced a high-ranking Fish Spirit Clan warrior to flee for his life, eventually shot down by a drone.


    "Impressive!"


    "A true Martial Artist."


    "Well done." The many students and family members who had taken shelter in the school began to clap and cheer, even though many were still anxious, but more were unable to suppress their applause and cheers.


    "Brother!"


    "Big Brother." Li Qianqian and Li Muhua squeezed out from the crowd.


    "Brother, just now..." Li Qianqian said, laughing, but her eyes were still brimming with tears.


    Indeed, she had been worried sick.


    "It''s all right now, who am I, your brother," Li Yuan said, smiling as he wiped away the tears at his sister''s eyes, "Okay, let''s go home first."


    "Go home?" Li Qianqian and Li Muhua both looked puzzled.


    Boom!


    A small flying vehicle, the size of a car, descended rapidly from the sky not far away.


    "Teachers, I''m taking them first, everyone please stay safe," Li Yuan nodded toward the school teachers.


    Whoosh!


    Carrying Li Qianqian and Li Muhua, Li Yuan leaped seven or eight meters high, deftly landing on the flying vehicle.


    Immediately, the flying vehicle took off, quickly flying towards the Starfire South Lake community.


    "It''s one of our Starfire Martial Hall''s flying vehicles."


    "An autonomous flyer, his status in the Martial Hall must be very high," a parent recognized, as many of the students'' families here had connections with Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Who is he?" Many students and parents were curious.


    "It''s Li Yuan!"


    "Li Qianqian mentioned, her brother is Li Yuan, the one who was on the show this year, the one who was previously awarded the ''Youth Hero'' title," a student shouted.


    "I remember seeing his show earlier this year; they said he''s a Martial Path genius from our Jiang City, with a poor family background but has signed with our Starfire Martial Hall,"


    "Right, he''s that Martial Path genius."


    "He''s Li Yuan?"


    "It''s been less than a year, hasn''t it? And he''s already this formidable?" Many students, parents, and even teachers whispered among themselves, visibly excited.


    "Martial Artist!"


    "That''s what it means to be a Martial Artist."


    "One day, I want to be like Li Yuan," many students who had witnessed today''s events planted a seed in their minds without realizing it.


    The privileges and status of a Martial Artist.


    They were earned through such struggles, time and again.


    In the event of a war, one is destined to rush to the front line.


    ... Over sixty meters in the sky, Li Yuan kept observing the streets below.


    From time to time, he could see drones flying fast.


    Occasionally, there would be human corpses on the ground... along with a large number of Fish Spirit Clan warrior corpses.


    Clearly, the fight was ongoing, and the scale of this attack was unprecedented.


    Watching all this,


    Especially the many human bodies, Li Yuan felt quite heavy-hearted: "I need to get Qianqian and Muhua home quickly; Starfire South Lake community is the safest place."


    "After getting the weapons, I''ll immediately join the Patrol Team to see where I can be of help."

 Chapter 187: 155: Embarking on This Path

    Jiang City was engulfed in the smoke of war, and the Guan Mountain District, with its many lakes, was especially hard-hit.


    In just a few minutes, Li Yuan had brought Li Qianqian and Li Muhua to the South Lake Starfire neighbourhood.


    The entire neighbourhood, including the more distant South Lake Starry Sky neighbourhood, was exceptionally quiet.


    Because, over these two neighbourhoods, there were at least a hundred combat drones visible to the naked eye hovering in the sky, with many of them being heavy-duty drones¡­ And there were even more hidden forces.


    As Li Yuan knew, villas like his own were guarded by a drone and two combat robots all year round¡­ As one of the top residential areas in Jiang City, their defense capabilities were also top-notch.


    And that was just the protection from the Mechanical Legion, not to mention how many high-level martial artists and even prime warriors were at home in the neighbourhoods themselves.


    Therefore.


    As long as the "commanders" of the Fish Spirit Clan weren''t foolish, they wouldn''t attack these two neighbourhoods after years of probing.


    The aircraft below was automatically identified and summoned by Li Yuan through his L6-level authority in the Martial Hall.


    It descended rapidly onto the villa''s lawn.


    "Qian Qian, Muhua." Aunt Chen Hui, who had already received the news, rushed out of the room immediately.


    "Mom."


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua also jumped down from the aircraft and rushed towards Chen Hui.


    Li Changzhou, who came out of the villa later, was more composed as a father. He said, "I told you, with Xiao Yuan here, nothing will happen to Qian Qian and the others."


    "Mom, do you know? Brother was so amazing just now, he killed so many Fish Spirit Clan warriors." Li Muhua couldn''t help but say, "Especially the last one who came out, my teacher said it was at least at level 18, and it was defeated by my brother."


    "Level 18?" Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan with concern.


    "An 18-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior?" Li Changzhou was equally shocked.


    Ordinary citizens might not be very strong, but thanks to the nation''s regular education, special training, and evacuation drills¡­ they were very clear about the strength of Star Realm creatures at each level.


    Level 18, according to national propaganda, could only be harmed by a high-level warrior or a large amount of heavy weaponry in combination.


    Just like the high-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior Li Yuan had killed.


    If it hadn''t been entangled by Li Yuan and then trapped in the "firepower net" laid by numerous combat drones in an open space, it wouldn''t have been killed so easily.


    "Uncle, don''t listen to Muhua''s nonsense." Li Yuan said, "I just tied up the opponent. It was the drones that killed it in the end."


    "Still, that''s impressive, Xiao Yuan¡­ You''ve really grown up." Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan with a touch of emotion.


    Li Yuan''s abilities had undergone such a transformation in just half a year since starting university?


    Li Changzhou, coming from Jiangbei Martial University, naturally knew what this meant.


    Of course, during the past six months, Li Yuan occasionally shared his recent experiences with his uncle and aunt through communication, so they weren''t too surprised.


    Kunlun Martial University, in their minds, was a "top university."


    For a top genius from a top university to be powerful was quite normal, wasn''t it?


    "Uncle, aunt, you go into the house first. I''m going to the underground martial arts room," Li Yuan said.


    Whoosh!


    With a move, Li Yuan had already flown out dozens of meters, entering the underground martial arts room.


    Clang~ The sealed weapon wall slowly descended, revealing all kinds of weapons, helmets, armor, combat boots, etc.


    They were all practical weapons.


    "I carry the Origin Power battle suit with me, but once it''s activated, it''s too conspicuous." Li Yuan thought for a moment.


    He quickly put on a full set of ''First Rank top grade'' battle armor, helmet, and combat boots.


    There were also extremely tough pants made of special materials, which even high-level warriors couldn''t tear.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Li Yuan was fully dressed, with only half of his face exposed.


    "This way."


    "With full armor coverage, even if I activate the Origin Power battle suit, it won''t be noticeable from the outside," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The Origin Power battle suit was close-fitting, like nanomaterial, and activated by Origin Power.


    Normally, the armor would provide defense, and in critical moments, the battle suit would activate for double the defense. This meant that Li Yuan''s chances of survival had greatly increased.


    The only flaw was a slight decrease in flexibility when wearing two layers of armor.


    "If the Fish Spirit Clan warriors have Fourth Level techniques, they certainly wouldn''t waste their lives as cannon fodder. The impact won''t be significant," Li Yuan considered.


    He had specifically checked the Starfire Martial Hall''s database for information about the ''Fish Spirit Star Realm''.


    He was aware of certain patterns.


    "Finally." Li Yuan''s gaze fell on the all-black long spear.


    Made entirely of alloy.


    This was a weapon prepared for Li Yuan''s life or death struggles by Starfire Martial Hall.


    Priced at 18 million Blue Star Coins!


    The spearhead and sharp blades were near indestructible; even regular steel would be easily pierced with little force, yet the metallic shaft was extremely flexible, comparable to wooden poles.


    This was due to very special Heavenly Materials and Treasures minerals added to it, giving it a ''memory'' feature.


    Most importantly, it was a Prime Weapon, capable of being infused with Origin Power.


    Like a common long spear, it would explode with a bang as soon as Origin Power was infused.


    "Black Chen!" Li Yuan revealed a smile; this was the name he had given the long spear.


    The Black Chen Spear, weighing four hundred and twenty kilograms, was a weapon perfectly suited for Li Yuan''s current strength.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan grabbed the weapon, and the cold shaft seemed to inject a surge of passion into his heart.


    "Black Chen."


    "Today, I''ll let you taste blood," Li Yuan murmured to himself, a glint of killing intent flashing through his eyes.


    Whoosh! With a move, Li Yuan had already drifted out of the basement and arrived on the ground floor.


    In the living room.


    The whole family was shocked by the fully armed Li Yuan, who looked like a warrior about to go into battle.


    "Xiaoyuan, what are you doing?" Chen Hui couldn''t help but ask.


    "Auntie, I am preparing to report to the city patrol team," Li Yuan replied.


    "You''re just a freshman, there''s no need for you to go," Chen Hui blurted out, clearly aware of the policy.


    Li Yuan was about to explain.


    "Go ahead," Li Changzhou suddenly spoke up, a smile on his face, "Be cautious and don''t be rash. Killing aliens is important, but the first priority is to protect yourself."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    "Hurry up, don''t worry about home, the entire Nanhu Starfire neighborhood is the safest," Li Changzhou instead urged.


    Chen Hui was about to speak but was stopped by Li Changzhou''s gaze.


    "Uncle and Auntie, I''ll be going then," Li Yuan said no more.


    Every second wasted,


    meant more casualties under the chaos of the Fish Spirit Clan invasion. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan dashed out of the room, leaped onto the hovering vehicle outside, and swiftly flew towards the distance.


    Inside the villa.


    "How could you..." Chen Hui started to say four words, but her voice grew weaker.


    Because Li Changzhou had already taken her hand, with only a smile.


    Chen Hui''s heart then understood most of it.


    "Ever since Xiaoyuan got into Kunlun Martial University and fully embarked on this path, this day was bound to come," said Li Changzhou softly, "We''re clear on that, aren''t we?"


    "I understand," Chen Hui''s eyes slightly reddened: "It''s just that it came too soon."


    "He''s still just a child, he''s barely turned 18 a few months ago," Chen Hui''s voice choked up.


    In her heart, Li Yuan had not grown up for long.


    Li Changzhou fell silent for a moment, then heaved a sigh, "But he is a Martial Artist now."


    Suddenly.


    "Mom and Dad, look quickly," Li Qianqian pointed to the distant screen, which was broadcasting news on the ''Star Realm Channel''.


    "The Fish Spirit Tide has suddenly erupted in Jiangbei Province, with Jiang City being one of the hardest hit areas," the host spoke in a deep voice, his words tinged with a sob, "So far, it is estimated that over 24,000 people have died... The number of Fish Spirit Clan warriors is conservatively estimated to exceed 10,000...


    The casualties are extremely heavy, but our soldiers, our Martial Artists,"


    "are also fighting hard."


    "Next, here are some of the few battle videos we''ve just received, all of which has just occurred."


    Whoosh~


    The screen switched to show a young man in black, moving against the flow of people to attack a large number of Fish Spirit Clan warriors, holding a short knife, one Fish Spirit after another falling to the ground...


    "According to the information we received, this powerful Martial Artist is named Li Yuan, a freshman from Kunlun Martial University, and he is a genius among our Human Race," the host said excitedly, "Just by himself, he has killed at least 20 Fish Spirit Clan warriors, saving the lives of at least several hundred people..."


    "He!!"


    "Has managed to fight against 19th-rank Fish Spirit warriors and ultimately killed one with the help of the Mechanical Legion... Li Yuan! At only 18 years old, to have such strength, he truly can be called one of Xia Country''s top geniuses," said the host with fervor, "It is said that he comes from a poor background and has received a lot of support.


    In his senior year of high school, he received the ''Young Hero'' commendation."


    "Now, he is still a youth!"


    "But he is also a hero!"


    ...In front of the screen.


    "This?" Li Changzhou was shocked.


    "Xiaoyuan? Qianqian, that''s the battle your brother just experienced," Chen Hui said with a face full of fear, her heart trembling.


    "Yes," Li Qianqian nodded.


    ...Not just Li Changzhou''s family, at this moment, countless people across Xia Country were focusing on the ''Fish Spirit Tide'' crisis in Jiang City, a major disaster.


    And with the broadcast of the videos on the program, many people remembered the name Li Yuan.


    Of course.


    The program showed not only Li Yuan but also videos of many powerful warriors fighting...most were recent, some even live broadcasts of ongoing battles.


    ...


    Jiang City, Provincial Television Station.


    "The casualties are very heavy, and the fighting is still ongoing," the middle-aged man with glasses said softly, "We, now we need heroes, we need to boost the morale of all the people."


    "To inspire the passion in many hearts."


    "Keep reporting," said the middle-aged man, "Call on more Martial Artists to stand up and fight."


    "Only by doing so can we clear this disaster more swiftly."


    "Especially for Martial Path geniuses like Li Yuan, we need to bring them to the fore prominently."


    "Remember."


    "We are not on the front lines, but this is another battlefield," the middle-aged man spoke solemnly.


    "Yes," the numerous staff replied nervously, also feeling a surge of passion in their hearts.


    Wanting to make some contribution.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Unaware that he was featured in the television program, Li Yuan rode the flying vehicle and quickly arrived at a ''reporting point'' outside the Nanhu Starfire neighborhood.


    There were already many people there.


    "Someone else has arrived."


    "That makes ten, we''ve got enough people now," many people started shouting aloud.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan jumped down.


    "It''s Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan." Many people recognized Li Yuan, showing surprise; most who came here were Starfire Martial Hall warriors. Many had seen Li Yuan and heard of this ''A-grade contract'' genius.


    "Good! Li Yuan."


    "You''ll be the captain of this temporary ten-man team," the guarding warrior said with a glimmer of enthusiasm in his eyes.

 Chapter 188: 156: Rescue Mission (44,000 Monthly Votes Bonus)

    "Team leader?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    He hadn''t even spoken yet, how had he become the team leader?


    To think that on the Martial Hall''s registration information, he was only a 15th-level Martial Artist. With such strength, it wasn''t proper for him to be a team leader yet.


    "Hmm? Coach Fang?" Li Yuan''s eyes suddenly brightened as he saw a familiar face.


    The former sparring coach ''Fang Longhu,'' a gold-medal sparring partner.


    "Li Yuan."


    Fang Longhu smiled, "Don''t refuse, just accept it."


    "Li Yuan, we just saw your combat video, it was indeed fierce, very strong."


    "Stronger than all of us." The other Martial Artists spoke one after another, their voices full of admiration.


    As they spoke,


    many pointed towards the light screen projection not far away, and started explaining to Li Yuan.


    Displayed on it was the Star Realm channel, with many combat videos playing in rotation.


    "This soon?" Li Yuan realized the reason¡ªit was the battle that had erupted just now at the school gate.


    Had it already made it onto television?


    That fast?


    "Li Yuan, come be the team leader." The other Martial Artists clamored, "Once we form the team, we can set off, don''t waste time."


    "Li Yuan, you can do it." Fang Longhu smiled.


    Strength? It only represents an individual.


    But to dare to fight against a large number of the Alien Race... that is what the Martial Artists truly admire.


    If Li Yuan didn''t have the video from earlier,


    then even if he demonstrated his strength now, the other Martial Artists would only be ''surprised'', but would not truly respect him from the bottom of their hearts.


    "Fine, I''ll do it." Li Yuan said solemnly, no longer refusing.


    Team leader? It was just a temporary team.


    The sooner they set off, the better.


    "Good, ten Martial Artists."


    "Thank you for joining the patrol team, the people of Jiang City will not forget you..." the reporting point''s staff repeated, "All your information has been entered, forming one team."


    "Remember, unless it''s a free patrol mission, you must follow orders and try to complete the tasks assigned by the smart system."


    "Be very careful, and come back alive," the staff member said sternly.


    "Come back alive."


    "Alive." Many Martial Artists spoke out in agreement.


    Facing life-or-death combat, the hearts of the Martial Artists mostly harbored the simplest wish¡ªto survive.


    Perhaps these Martial Artists were not strong, but they each had a burning passion in their hearts, otherwise they would not be standing out now.


    Whoosh!


    A small flying vehicle descended, large enough to seat about ten to twenty people.


    "Li Yuan, the flying vehicle has your information recorded, you can control it with voice commands." the staff member continued, "Go and carry out the mission immediately."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded, "Everyone, get in."


    Quickly,


    under Li Yuan''s leadership, the ten Martial Artists sat down swiftly, and the flying vehicle took off.


    "Mission: Rescue."


    "Target, Tanxi Residential Area, 4.3 kilometers away¡ªhurry." Li Yuan thought quickly, tapping two keys on the light screen in succession, then immediately piloting the flying vehicle and rapidly heading towards Tanxi Residential Area.


    ...


    "Coach Fang, why have you also joined the battle?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    In Li Yuan''s memory, the other party was a gold-medal coach.


    But also very fond of money.


    "Hasn''t a super genius like you chosen to join the battle as well?" Fang Longhu smiled, "At such a time, can we still retreat?"


    "Li Yuan, you are formidable, but don''t underestimate us either," a man carrying a Combat Saber said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan replied with a smile, "How dare I underestimate my seniors."


    Li Yuan recognized two or three familiar faces among these people, but with a thought, he already knew their strengths.


    Most were around 15th-level, with the highest at 17.1 and the lowest at 14.2.


    Are they strong? Not strong!


    And looking at their faces, most of these Martial Artists were over 40 years old¡ªstill in their prime age, but the chances of becoming a Prime Warrior in the future? It was very low.


    They were the ''veterans'' among the Martial Artists, many of whom had experienced life-or-death battles multiple times.


    "Team leader, do we have a plan?" Fang Longhu asked with a smile.


    The other Martial Artists also smiled.


    "No plan," Li Yuan answered with a light smile, "Find the Fish Spirit Clan and wipe them out."


    "The strongest, leave to me."


    ...


    In less than two minutes, they had rapidly approached Tanxi Residential Area.


    The flying vehicle descended swiftly.


    To the naked eye, several combat drones were chasing the Fish Spirit Clan on the ground.


    But under the cover of trees and buildings,


    the chase wasn''t going well.


    This was a weakness of drones¡ªin complex environments, their advantages are greatly reduced... and in a city environment like this, heavy weapons cannot be used.


    Just with light weapons, it''s actually very difficult to kill Entry Rank members of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    Moreover, many from the Fish Spirit Clan had already rushed into the building''s corridors, attacking doors, walls, and windows like mad... Modern residential buildings are constructed with various strengthened steel materials and walls, which generally cannot be destroyed by ordinary Entry Rank Martial Artists.


    Even so, quite a few homes were breached, bodies of humans strewn about.


    "Get ready,"


    Li Yuan said gravely, "As matched automatically by the system, form groups of three for mutual coordination, and push forward along the left, center, and right corridors... Call for reinforcements from me immediately if you encounter danger."


    "Keep an eye on reminders from the Sky Net system."


    The 3331 tactic.


    It''s a key research topic from the general knowledge courses on how Martial Artists clear corridors of aliens.


    Advancing in three groups, their strength is often quite similar.


    In field battles, teams often move forward in an ''arrowhead'' formation, while in urban clearance battles, they mostly push forward in three lines.


    The strongest team leader stays in reserve at the center, ready to support the moment they encounter a strong enemy, to create an overwhelming advantage locally.


    "Alright."


    "Captain, rest assured." These martial artists were mostly very experienced and promptly leaped from a seven or eight-meter height, forming a formation of three and immediately charging into three units of a residential building.


    Inch by inch, annihilation! Thorough cleansing!


    "According to SkyNet''s reminder, this building should all have Fish Spirit Clan warriors," Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband while remaining vigilant of his surroundings.


    To prevent a sudden attack.


    "Contact! 0!" A voice suddenly rang out from the smart wristband.


    Contact means an enemy has been spotted.


    0 means it can be dealt with, with an expected zero casualties.


    "Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly erupted from one of the units, signaling the commencement of combat.


    Just two seconds later.


    "Contact!! 23! 23! 23!" Li Yuan''s smart wristband suddenly transmitted an urgent voice.


    "Not good."


    Li Yuan, who had been on alert, identified the direction of the sound and instantly flew out of the aircraft, zipping into the second unit like lightning.


    23!


    2 represents the second team.


    3 signifies that a trio squad has encountered an unstoppable, horrifying danger, with the likelihood of total annihilation.


    ...Boom!


    Li Yuan burst forth with full speed, his figure lightning-fast as if he were a super cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he had dashed up to the third floor.


    The thick scent of blood wafted through the air.


    "Boom!" "Bang!" The door to the room burst open, and an intense battle raged within.


    A particularly massive Fish Spirit Clan being was frantically swinging its combat saber, overpowering Fang Longhu and his team of three who were struggling to hold their own.


    "17.6 level," Li Yuan assessed in an instant.


    The strength of this Fish Spirit Clan warrior was very formidable; the distant wall was spattered with a great deal of blood.


    On the floor lay mutilated corpses.


    And from the mouth of the Fish Spirit Clan warrior, blood mixed with bits of flesh was dripping down.


    All was self-evident, no need for words.


    "Die."


    A strong intent to kill surged in Li Yuan''s heart as he glided forward, his foot stomping against the wall and with a swift motion, he was already past Fang Longhu and the others, his speed inconceivable.


    "Bang!" His long spear thrust out furiously.


    This thrust was exceedingly fast, stable, accurate, and ruthless, so fast that the Fish Spirit Clan warrior could only instinctively raise its arm in a futile attempt to block the spear.


    A faint glow flitted across the spear''s tip.


    "Pfft!"


    The spear carried an incredible twisting force, as if erupting from a vortex.


    In an instant, the spear''s tip pierced through the interception of the Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s arm and then directly through its throat, embedding itself in the wall behind.


    The Fish Spirit Clan warrior was slammed against the wall, its feet off the ground.


    "Ahh~" The Fish Spirit Clan warrior opened its mouth but could not produce a sound.


    Blood flowed, and its eyes quickly dimmed.


    One thrust, dead!


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan withdrew his spear and looked at the Fish Spirit Clan warrior, his gaze then sweeping over the messy room, his heart growing even more oppressive, a rage threatening to burst forth.


    "So strong."


    "So fast."


    "Li Yuan, oh no! Captain," Fang Longhu and the others were not too concerned with the scene.


    They had seen too much, most had witnessed even more gruesome scenes.


    What surprised them the most was the strength Li Yuan had unleashed.


    Powerfully astonishing, far more forceful than what had been shown in previous battle videos.


    "Continue the cleansing," Li Yuan ordered in a low voice and turned to leave the room.


    "Yes."


    Fang Longhu and the team were aware that although Li Yuan was strong, he was after all only 18 years old, and it might be his first time witnessing an Alien Race devouring humans... Such scenes had a significant impact on one''s psyche.


    ...


    Time marched on, and under Li Yuan''s leadership, their squad swiftly cleared the neighborhood of over 20 Fish Spirit Clan beings.


    Of course, other martial artist teams also arrived to complete the mission together.


    Click to report ''mission completed''.


    Then, the intelligent system would swiftly assign a new mission, dispatching them to carry out a rescue.


    This is the power of technology.


    First, the intelligent system would determine the ''Alien threat level'' of each danger location based on an assessment from SkyNet.


    Then, using real-time tracking through SkyNet and considering each squad member''s Physical Quality, skills, and combat record, it would calculate the squad''s ''Combat Power Score.''


    This would allow the different squads to be appropriately allocated to various missions, striving for a match where middle horses faced middle horses.


    Minimizing casualties all the while and maximizing the effectiveness of all patrolling squads to the greatest extent.

    The night gradually fell.


    The team headed by Li Yuan had already carried out four missions, gradually moving away from the central metropolitan area towards the suburbs.


    Here, the defense systems were much weaker, and although there were fewer people than in the city center, the casualties were inversely greater.


    The more they fought.


    The more Li Yuan witnessed, his initial anger and oppression in his heart gradually turned to coldness.


    "Kill!"


    "Exterminate all these Aliens," Li Yuan''s heart grew colder as he led the team to complete their fifth mission.


    Click ''mission completed''.


    After just a few minutes of rest.


    "Beep~" The new mission arrived.


    "Urgent mission, Nanhuang Elementary School has suddenly encountered an attack by Fish Spirit Clan warriors, proceed to rescue immediately, with at least three 17-level Fish Spirit Clan warriors, be careful! Exercise extreme caution!" the mission repeatedly warned.


    "Let''s go."


    Li Yuan led the team, piloting the aircraft, and soared into the sky, rushing toward the target location.


    Eight kilometers away from the mission site.


    Nearing Nanye Lake, the largest lake under the jurisdiction of Jiang City.

 Chapter 189: 157 Second Rank!! No Turning Back!

    The large-scale attack on Jiang City happened after five o''clock in the afternoon.


    At that time, it was the peak period for school dismissals and workday endings, with a convergence of people; it could be considered the best time to launch an attack.


    Therefore, when the attack erupted, ''defense plans'' were quickly activated everywhere, and many students and parents were directly taken into schools for shelter.


    Even elementary schools often had a complete defense system, with stationed battle drones, combat robots, and martial arts teachers... Three to five fighters from the Fish Spirit Clan could not wreak havoc.


    It was safer than ordinary residential areas.


    Nanhuan Elementary School was just an ordinary elementary school.


    ...The aircraft sped forward rapidly.


    This type of all-electric aircraft now had an astonishingly long endurance.


    "According to the information transmitted by the system, there are over 600 students and parents in the school who have taken refuge in various shelters," Li Yuan said quickly. "More than 30 Fish Spirit Clan fighters have invaded the school and are encountering resistance from the school''s defense system."


    Fang Longhu and the other nine ''veteran warriors'' listened intently to Li Yuan''s words.


    If at first, they had merely acknowledged Li Yuan''s strength,


    then, after several hours and five missions, they had come to realize that Li Yuan''s strength was extraordinary; even 17th or 18th-rank Fish Spirit Clan high-level fighters would be swiftly slain by him.


    The most crucial aspect was his decisiveness!


    His execution of combat and slaughter was no-nonsense; even when confronted with ''gruesome scenes'' he had evidently never experienced before, his spirit remained undisturbed.


    There was absolutely none of the panic and bewilderment typical of some novice warriors.


    Cool and steady to the point that it caused even these ''old soldiers'' to marvel.


    It was as though he was born for battle.


    "Also, another team of warriors, rated at 100 points, is already on an aircraft, a bit faster than us," Li Yuan said coolly. "They have a higher score than us, so cooperating with them should make completing the mission relatively easy."


    "100 points?"


    "A perfect rating? That high?" Fang Longhu and the others couldn''t help but be slightly astonished.


    Decades of practice had already formed a convention:


    Ordinary people below Level 10 have no obligation to fight; survival is their priority.


    Warriors below Level 14 have weaker strength, so they typically defend nearby and are not encouraged to actively participate in rescue or offensive actions.


    Prime Warriors who reach Level 20 are powerful enough to single-handedly eradicate large numbers of the Alien Race and often act alone.


    Warriors between Level 14 and Level 20 usually form small teams of ten, collaborating in battle.


    The warrior teams are evaluated by the smart system, with scores ranging from 1 to 100 points.


    The scores are dynamic.


    A score of 100 indicates a top-tier team capable of dealing with a 19.9-rank Alien Race fighter.


    The team led by Li Yuan was initially rated at 25 points, which, after five consecutive missions, had been adjusted to 84 points.


    "Our team scoring over 80 points already counts as a first-class team, mainly because we have a great master as a team leader," said the thin man nicknamed ''Fire-Skin,'' smiling. "In a real fight, the team leader alone could sweep the nine of us."


    "Yeah."


    "The team leader is formidable; even that Fish Spirit Clan high-level fighter with the purple markings was wiped out instantly."


    "Maybe by next year, the team leader could become a Prime Warrior."


    "Tsk tsk! Later on, I can also say I''ve been a soldier under the team leader," the group joked and laughed.


    In reality, having seen so much and witnessed the death of many ordinary people, the impact on Jiang City was nothing short of severe.


    Not just Li Yuan, every veteran had rage in their hearts.


    But in the midst of such life-and-death combat, the more dire the situation, the more they deliberately tried to keep the atmosphere relaxed.


    ...


    Nanyang Lake.


    This place was more than 30 kilometers away from the central downtown area, belonging to the suburbs.


    Here was also the largest lake in Jiang City, spanning over 80 square kilometers, with an extremely developed water system and an average depth of more than five meters.


    Nanhuan Elementary School was less than two kilometers from the edge of Nanyang Lake.


    In the marshland at the edge of the lake, under the cover of darkness, nothing could be seen.


    Even when scanned with an "infrared camera," no living creature could be detected.


    But if one were to approach closely, they would be shocked to discover.


    Here, more than a dozen warriors of the Fish Spirit Clan were lying prostrate in the mud, each of them tall and no smaller than the one Li Yuan had killed.


    Especially the one leading them, whose body was even bigger, it had almost completely turned purple and blended seamlessly into the night.


    Suddenly.


    "Awoooo~" In Nanhuan Elementary School nearly a kilometer away, a furious roar erupted, piercingly loud against the endless night sky.


    Without the slightest hesitation.


    "Roar~" The purple Fish Spirit Clan warrior let out a low growl and instantly transformed into a streak of light, dashing forward while the air boomed explosively around him, his burst speed definitely exceeding a hundred meters per second.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The other Fish Spirit Clan warriors, who were originally lying prostrate, also charged out with howls.


    These Fish Spirit Clan warriors knew.


    The humans had taken the bait. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Inside Nanhuan Elementary School, intense battles were breaking out everywhere, but the most eye-catching was outside one of the school buildings.


    "Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!"


    A particularly tall and burly man wielding a long spear was fighting fiercely with several Fish Spirit Clan warriors. His spear technique was continuous, bizarre, and viciously precise.


    Even though his strength and speed were clearly slower.


    But facing off against three, he still had the absolute upper hand.


    "They''re all above level 19? Didn''t they say level 17?" Xu Bo''s heart flashed with a premonition of doom, "Why are there so many high-level Fish Spirit Clan warriors gathered here?"


    Fish Spirit Clan warriors over level 18 typically led squads of Fish Spirit warriors, and it was unusual for so many to congregate in one place.


    They were easily targeted.


    Level 19? That was an absolute top leader.


    If not for their formidable strength, the three of them would have trouble holding off Xu Bo''s attacks.


    "It''s just a pity, the injuries are getting more severe." Xu Bo frowned, in the past, such level-19 alien creatures would fall to a single thrust of his spear.


    Now? Although his skills had become more refined, the power he could unleash was getting weaker without aggravating his wounds.


    Most importantly.


    Xu Bo could tell just by observing that, given the strength of the Fish Spirit Clan warriors besieging Nanhuan Elementary School, they should have been able to breach the school''s defense system by now.


    Yet they were deliberately delaying until now.


    "Is it a trap? To lure the martial artist squad here?" A thought flashed through Xu Bo''s mind, and with that thought, he immediately filed a report.


    Requesting support from Prime Warriors!!


    That''s right.


    Fish Spirit Clan warriors below level 18 usually warranted mobilizing a team of martial artists to annihilate them.


    But once they surpassed level 18? Prime Warriors would be dispatched to eliminate them.


    Always attack from a higher position to minimize casualties to the greatest extent.


    After all, compared with the nearly mass-produced warriors of the Fish Spirit Clan, there were far fewer Human Warriors, who couldn''t afford such attrition. Each one was precious.


    "Five minutes to arrive?" Xu Bo glanced at his smart ring and muttered to himself, "That''s really slow!"


    "Just drag it out."


    While he wasn''t afraid of these three 19th-level high-ranking fighters from the Fish Spirit Clan, Xu Bo wasn''t interested in fighting them to the death.


    Wouldn''t it be foolish not to call for support when it was available?


    But then suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Xu Bo''s ''25th-level'' spiritual power suddenly tremored, sensing an ominous sign.


    Whoosh!


    He saw the school wall hundreds of meters away shatter violently, followed by a streak of pale blue light flashing past, creating a thunderous explosion in the air.


    "Origin Power!! It''s Second Rank! Run!" Xu Bo''s face changed drastically, and he bellowed instantly.


    His voice carried far, and through the smart ring, the other nine warriors in the squad received the voice transmission.


    But¡ªit was too late!


    "Tear~"


    The Second Level Fish Spirit Clan fighter that suddenly burst in, empowered with Origin Power, was terrifyingly strong; with a single flash, it lunged at a Human Warrior, its massive body resembling a pale blue giant ball in the night.


    "Boom~"


    This Human Warrior, caught off guard, swung his saber in defense, only to be sent flying and crashing severely into the sturdy wall of a building.


    The solid wall instantly cracked and caved in, forming a large crater.


    And the Human Warrior fell heavily to the ground, mouth overflowing with blood, motionless.


    He was beyond saving.


    A Second Rank warrior of the Fish Spirit Clan, with at least eighty thousand kilograms of Burst Speed and armed with at least Fourth Level Spear Technique... Their might was enough to crush any Martial Artist below the 18th level.


    "Xiao Guang!" Xu Bo''s eyes immediately reddened¡ªit was one of his juniors, whom he had known for many years.


    Boom!


    The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan fighter flashed and lunged at another Human Warrior.


    With its strength, it could easily sweep all the Human Warriors present except for Xu Bo.


    A matter of life and death!


    "Boom!" Xu Bo hesitated no more; a layer of pitch-black battle garment materialized over his body, wrapping him completely in just 0.1 seconds.


    Origin Power Battle Suit!


    At the same time, if one observed closely, a faint layer of fiery red could be seen on the surface of his battle garment, as if he were clad in flames.


    "Die!"


    Xu Bo roared furiously, his long spear increasing drastically in speed, carrying an incredible force as it streaked past the bodies of the three 19th-level Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    "Boom~" "Boom~"


    Two Fish Spirit Clan warriors were instantly flung away, while the head of another flew off.


    One spear!


    One dead, two severely injured.


    "Boom!" Xu Bo turned into a blaze of fiery light, his foot stomping on the concrete floor, causing it to crack open, and his body had already rushed dozens of meters.


    He charged at the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan fighter.


    "Puff!"


    The Second Level Fish Spirit Clan warrior who had just killed another Human Warrior showed a trace of fear in its eyes: "Prime Warrior?"


    It knew well that Human Prime Warriors, with their weapons and battle garments, were far stronger than their Fish Spirit Clan counterparts of the same rank.


    It had thought that there were no Prime Warriors here.


    "Ao~"


    This tall Second Level Fish Spirit Clan fighter surged forward, swinging its Combat Saber.


    Standing nearly three and a half meters tall.


    So, even the length of its Combat Saber exceeded one and a half meters¡ªwith two sabers in hand, it was not at a significant disadvantage compared to the Human Warriors'' Long Spears.


    "Clang!" "Boom!" A fierce battle erupted between the two, with collisions along the wall; the sturdy wall, known to withstand High Level Warrior attacks, began to crumble.


    The entire building was on the verge of collapse.


    "You''re not a Prime Warrior! Your speed and strength are quite ordinary, it''s only your Origin Power that you have," the Second Level Fish Spirit Clan warrior finally realized.


    "I''ll kill you!!"


    ...


    In the sky, the team led by Li Yuan was rapidly closing in.


    Suddenly, their smart rings began to vibrate madly, followed by a voice transmission.


    "Warning! Warning!"


    "A 20th-level Alien Species has appeared at Nanhuan Elementary School!"


    "To repeat, a Second Rank Alien Species!"


    "Do not approach without sufficient strength! Do not approach," the smart ring continued to transmit the urgent voice.


    "What?"


    "Second Rank Alien Species." The faces of Fang Longhu and the others changed; the strength of a Second Rank Alien Race was completely dominant over the First Rank.


    "Martial Arts Teacher?" Li Yuan recognized the voice, but his expression changed: "It''s your squad in Nanhuan District?"


    "Where''s my teacher?"


    "Li Yuan?" The Martial Arts Teacher in the smart ring also recognized Li Yuan''s voice: "Have you arrived? Xu Bo is fighting a Second Rank Alien."


    "Don''t you come here!"


    But without any hesitation.


    Whoosh! The aircraft plummeted sharply.


    "Stay here, don''t get close," Li Yuan growled, as he leapt from the aircraft.


    "Captain."


    "Captain." Fang Longhu and the others were shocked, but they couldn''t stop Li Yuan.


    From a height of over 20 meters


    Boom! Like lightning, Li Yuan landed on the ground, rolled up to his feet, and dashed forward with the speed of lightning.


    His speed had soared to over 70 meters per second.


    "A 20th-level Alien Species?"


    "Teacher! You must hold on! You must!" Li Yuan was desperate.


    With perfect Subtlety, he released all his power.


    In just five or six seconds.


    "Rumble~" From Nanhuan Elementary School not far away, the sounds of intense combat continued to echo.

 Chapter 190: 158: Master and Disciple! Kill for Spiritual Nature Nutrient

    "We''re here." Like lightning, Li Yuan''s form suddenly slowed down, his mind becoming extremely calm as he strained to listen for any movement within the walls.


    Whoosh!


    "The sprint over here had some effect." Li Yuan took a deep breath as the vigor within him flowed, and countless subtle strands of strength relaxed slightly, readying for the next burst of energy.


    Li Yuan did not rush forward impulsively but rather strove to adjust his state.


    Fast cannot be sustained.


    Like high-level martial artists of the 19th rank, they can sprint at 100 meters per second, but it''s not sustainable... Li Yuan''s explosion of speed under a state of subtlety was even more so.


    Just like normal people, they can sprint at a full strength often reaching 10 meters per second, but can they run 1000 meters in just 100 seconds?


    The opponent is a second-rank warrior from the Fish Spirit Clan, and if Li Yuan were to face it alone, he would stand no chance of winning whatsoever.


    Whoosh!


    Without a sound, Li Yuan''s specially-made Origin Power battle suit was activated.


    Without infusing Origin Power, the battle suit''s defense would be significantly reduced.


    But likewise, without the boost of Origin Power, the battle suit under the surface armor wasn''t conspicuous, allowing Li Yuan to easily blend into the darkness.


    With a light leap, Li Yuan jumped onto the school wall, four to five meters high, and squatted on top of it.


    Looking down.


    Li Yuan had a clear view of the situation; he saw on the school playground, over three hundred meters away.


    Two figures were fighting fiercely: one enveloped in terrifying blue light and the other resembling a flame warrior, wielding a long spear.


    The two were engaged in intense combat.


    The site of the battle was, accurately speaking, near one side of a teaching building.


    At this moment, that building was half-collapsed, and distressing cries could be faintly heard.


    Clearly, they were affected by the aftereffects of the battle between the two powerhouses.


    At the same time.


    Li Yuan''s peripheral vision swept over and could discern many more figures in the midst of fierce fighting on the playground and between the buildings.


    All were human warriors and warriors from the Fish Spirit Clan.


    With just one look, Li Yuan determined that the human warriors were decidedly at a disadvantage.


    "[Target creature, Life Level 19.9]"


    "[Target creature, Life Level 20.1, second-rank being, lightly wounded, currently estimated at 19.9, killing may yield Spiritual Nature nourishment]" In the instant Li Yuan assessed the situation of the entire Nanhuang Elementary School, his thoughts shifted, and he had already obtained the basic information of the two strong opponents in battle.


    "[Target creature, Life Level 19.1]"


    "[Target creature, Life Level 18.1]"


    "[Target...]" Li Yuan''s inquiry flashed like lightning over the other Fish Spirit Clan warriors his eyes could see.


    The single result from the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior immediately caught Li Yuan''s attention.


    Could yield Spiritual Nature nourishment?


    "My Spiritual Awakening Level has already reached its limit; killing numerous warriors from the Fish Spirit Clan during combat missions has provided no enhancement." Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan''s mind: "Why would the Divine Palace panel suggest that killing that second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior could yield Spiritual Nature nourishment?"


    Even though I''ve reached the limit.


    Previously, my Spiritual Awakening limit increased from 20% to 25% because my spiritual power broke through to level 20.


    "There was no reminder for the nineteenth-rank alien warriors."


    "Could it be because this one is a second-rank alien?" A thought crossed Li Yuan''s mind.


    He had never killed a second-rank alien before.


    However.


    The situation was urgent, leaving no time for Li Yuan to ponder. In less than 0.5 seconds from the moment he leaped to the top of the school wall to when he fully assessed the situation, he was already leaping down.


    He dashed like lightning towards one of the human warriors already in a desperate situation.


    ...


    Next to the teaching building.


    "Kill! Kill!" The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared as his four arms tightly gripped two combat sabers, relentlessly plunging towards Xu Bo like lightning.


    "Boom~"


    The ground cracked again and again, rocks flying in all directions, and their casual strikes on the nearby teaching building would shatter it, kicking up countless broken stones.


    Fortunately.


    These buildings had been fortified layer by layer, and the construction technology was very advanced; they wouldn''t easily collapse. Only after such a long battle did the entire building not completely fall.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Xu Bo stimulated his Star Meridians, drawing forth an explosive burst of Origin Power. His form was graceful and unrestrained, impersonating gusts of wind as he dodged the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s attacks again and again, subtly seizing control of the fight.


    His spear in hand was overpoweringly domineering, with each thrust accurately striking the body of the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, inflicting injury after injury.


    "This second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior must have just broken through."


    "The Fish Spirit Star Realm is only a First Level Star Realm, where only first-rank powerhouses can come and go." As Xu Bo fought for his life, his mind was extraordinarily calm: "His skills are immature, he must have achieved ''Unity'' of body and mind not long ago."


    "But even if he has just broken through, he is still second-rank!!"


    "In terms of force and speed, in terms of Origin Power, I am now fully behind second-rank and weaker than him unless I can fully activate three Star Meridians; otherwise, I can''t keep up," Xu Bo thought coldly: "Only skill remains."


    "My movement technique, my Spear Technique, are both close to the High Rank of the Fourth Level, which is why I can hold my own and entangle with him."


    "However,"


    "Even without an Origin Power battle suit, his skin is naturally tough, and his defenses have skyrocketed with Origin Power enveloping his body... It''s hard for me to inflict a fatal injury." Xu Bo was well aware of the situation.


    If the battle continues like this.


    There is a chance for Xu Bo to win.


    But the key issue is, with Xu Bo''s injuries, he can''t hold on for long, and his strength will keep declining.


    Once defeated, the other human warriors will be swiftly swept away, and the students and parents in the few teaching buildings of the school will be brutally slaughtered.


    In this half-collapsed teaching building, many were already buried, crying out in distress, causing Xu Bo''s heart to bleed.


    But there was no choice!


    Xu Bo tried to lure the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior away.


    But the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior was not fooled at all, he kept ferociously attacking the teaching building, forcing Xu Bo to stay and fight, doing his best to protect the structure from further damage.


    "Old Xing and the others..."


    "Let''s hope we can hold out until support arrives," Xu Bo had already noticed that inside the Nanhuang Elementary School, there were still a large number of high-level Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    Thank goodness!


    The team he led was overall quite strong, with the lowest being a 17th Level Martial Artist, which was definitely "elite," and that''s why they had been able to hold out until now.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh!"


    Hundreds of meters away, a streak of light flashed past, followed by a Fish Spirit Clan fighter over 18th Level who fell to the ground after just two exchanges.


    "Hmm?"


    "Is that reinforcements? What quick speed, what sharp spear technique," Xu Bo saw a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, but it was too dark to make out clearly.


    He hadn''t seen the person''s face.


    Xu Bo just subconsciously felt that the fleeting figure of the human warrior seemed somewhat familiar.


    On the other hand.


    Xu Bo, in the midst of fierce battle, also didn''t have the spare energy to pay attention to other directions.


    Holding off this Second Rank Alien Race was the greatest protection he could offer to the other human warriors.


    ...


    "Bang!" "Boom!"


    Beside the collapsing broken school wall, Li Yuan, who had erupted with full strength, moved like lightning, crossing over the struggling human warrior, and his long spear suddenly burst forth with an incredibly sharp thrust.


    Ferociously attacking the 19.1 Level Fish Spirit Clan fighter in front of him.


    The spear shadows were continuous.


    The weapons of both sides clashed like lightning, sending sparks flying everywhere.


    Then, a flash of spear light suddenly erupted, piercing through the opponent''s neck, causing blood to splatter.


    The long spear quickly retracted, and the muscular neck of the Fish Spirit Clan fighter was almost severed in half.


    He fell to the ground with a thunderous crash!


    The 19th Level Fish Spirit Clan warrior was dead.


    "In terms of strength, you are not inferior to the Fish Spirit Clan fighter at the school, you are even much stronger," Li Yuan glanced and then leaped to kill the next high-ranking Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    Compared to the time at the school gate.


    Li Yuan, wielding a long spear and bursting forth with full power, was several times more powerful than when he only had a short knife, and his killing power was extremely frightening.


    A 19th Level Fish Spirit Clan warrior? Truly no match for him.


    "Instructor Xing, go help the others," Li Yuan''s calm voice drifted over.


    Instructor Xing, who had just been rescued and was still gasping for breath without even having the chance to express his gratitude, suddenly heard that familiar voice and his heart jolted: "Li Yuan?"


    He could hardly believe it.


    In his recollection, Li Yuan, who had just graduated from high school less than half a year ago and should have become a Martial Artist not long ago, was actually capable of killing a 19th Level Fish Spirit Clan warrior with a flip of his hand?


    The change was so significant that Instructor Xing took a moment to process.


    Whoosh! S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had already charged tens of meters ahead, impaling another high-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior with his spear and tossing them into the air.


    "He''s truly amazing," Instructor Xing sighed inwardly, and immediately leapt out to assist the other warriors in the team.


    Subconsciously.


    "Instructor Xu," Instructor Xing glanced at Xu Bo who was in fierce combat with a Second Rank Alien Race.


    "You must hold on."


    If he wanted to survive, Instructor Xing''s best option would be to immediately retreat from Nanhuang Elementary School and escape into the complicated streets in the distance... but he didn''t do that.


    Not just him.


    Many of the human warriors saved by Li Yuan took only one or two seconds to catch their breath before charging at the other Fish Spirit Clan fighters.


    Everyone knew deep down.


    There was no retreat; they could only fight to their utmost. Only then was there hope for everyone to survive today.


    ...


    "Spurt!" Another spear thrust pierced through the body of a high-level Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    "28 seconds."


    "I''ve killed five high-level Fish Spirit Clan warriors," Li Yuan scanned the area.


    The fierce battle was still ongoing, but the situation for a large number of human warriors had greatly improved.


    At that moment.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! A small aircraft rapidly descended, followed by several figures flying down.


    "Kill!" "Kill!"


    Roars erupted one after another; it was Fang Longhu and the others who, after some hesitation, finally decided to take the risk and join the battle.


    "There''s reinforcements."


    "Other warrior squads have arrived." The still-living human warriors grew more excited; they saw the hope of victory, and the hope of surviving.


    ...


    Meanwhile.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s body was like an arrow released from the bowstring, dashing dozens of meters in a swoop, rushing toward Xu Bo who was still in fierce battle with a Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    After several leaps and movements, he was already close.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan, gripping the spear with both hands, suddenly leapt forth with a straight thrust, as the terrifying force within him fully erupted, fully channeling into the long spear.


    At the tip of the spear, a faint yellow light flowed unnoticed.


    You should know.


    Under the subtle state of mind, Li Yuan''s fist strength had reached 35,000 kilograms, and now with Origin Power enhancing it, plus the charge... the power of this spear was definitely tremendous.


    "Whoosh!"


    A straight thrust aimed at the chest of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior!

 Chapter 191: 159: Join Forces! Kill! (46,000 monthly ticket plus update)

    As a martial artist with the Spear Technique at the fourth level peak, Li Yuan''s grasp of the battlefield situation was exquisitely precise.


    This spear thrust, full of fury, came just when the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior and Xu Bo were exhausted after intense combat.


    Hu!


    Xu Bo seemed to have sensed it coming, his body shifted, blocking the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s line of sight for a moment, and then he drifted horizontally past.


    Li Yuan''s spear tip narrowly missed Xu Bo''s body, thrusting straight at him, looking perilously close.


    Fierce! Wild!


    "Hm?" The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s face changed drastically as he swept a saber to repel Xu Bo and hacked down angrily, attempting to block Li Yuan''s thrust.


    In the end, as a second-rank powerhouse, his strength and speed were far superior to Li Yuan, his pure reaction speed was unbelievably fast.


    "Boom!"


    Saber light grazed the spear shaft, colliding in a rush, the terrifying force momentarily deflecting Li Yuan''s long spear, slicing past the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s arm, instantly leaving a visible laceration.


    "Such resilient skin," Li Yuan immediately sensed the toughness of his opponent''s body.


    Definitely more sturdy than steel.


    Similar damage had been inflicted on the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior by Xu Bo many times, only Li Yuan''s blow was the more severe.


    "Ahh~" The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared, his combat saber swooping down furiously.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan slipped away, ghost-like, evading the terrifying blow, and, seizing the opportunity, he charged past the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior with his long spear whistling around in return.


    He thrust back furiously.


    Turnabout Spear!!


    Too fast, Li Yuan''s thrust far exceeded the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s expectations, it couldn''t dodge in time.


    "Puchi~"


    The spear tip stabbed into its body like lightning, piercing nearly ten centimeters deep before it was stopped by the tough, terrifying muscles, exhausting all the spear''s momentum.


    At the same time, the terrifying impact contained within the spear also made the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior stagger.


    "Scram!" The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior bellowed.


    Spitting out a language Li Yuan couldn''t understand.


    In the next instant, the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, having sustained heavy damage, spun around and swung its saber at Li Yuan.


    Hu! Li Yuan had just mustered the strength to pull his long spear out from the opponent''s muscular body when he saw the furious swing coming. In his urgency, he had no choice but to use his spear to block.


    In terms of Spear Technique, the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior was far inferior to Li Yuan, the gap was enormous.


    But the most sophisticated techniques ultimately have a limit to enhancement, all needing strength and speed as the foundation for battle.


    Without a doubt, the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s strength and speed were enough to bridge this gap, allowing it to completely suppress Li Yuan.


    "Bang~"


    The giant saber landed on Li Yuan''s spear shaft, the terrifying force causing the spear to bend instantly, followed by the shaft striking Li Yuan''s chest directly.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan was sent flying out like a shooting star, crashing into the distant woods, the terrifying force passing through his Origin Power Battle Suit, impacting his entire body, his blood and qi uncontrollably churning.


    "Boom."


    The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior moved swiftly, locking down the injuries on its muscles, ready to pounce at Li Yuan, intending to finish him off completely.


    It realized that this newcomer human martial artist, though proficient with the Spear Technique, was much weaker in strength and speed.


    And certainly, much weaker in vitality.


    "Shoo!"


    "Shoo!" A barrage of spear shadows already came whistling over, forcing the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warriors to halt their advance.


    It was Xu Bo, who had been attacking continuously, yet his grasp of timing was far behind Li Yuan''s due to the limitations of his skills.


    "Li Yuan! It''s Li Yuan!" Xu Bo''s heart was filled with unparalleled anxiety at this moment, "How is he doing?"


    In the brief exchange just now, he recognized that the powerful human martial artist who came to the rescue was his most accomplished student over the years, ''Li Yuan''.


    And the furious strike from the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior had him particularly worried.


    A wrathful blow from a Second Rank powerhouse was enough to directly shake a martial artist below level 18 to death.


    But.


    Xu Bo had no time to inquire into Li Yuan''s wounds, he could only fight with all his might against the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, to buy Li Yuan time to recover.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom!" Like a furious gust sweeping past, the surrounding air burst noisily.


    Whoosh!


    A black figure dashed out from the darkness like lightning, a streak of light piercing the dark night sky, aiming straight for the head of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    It was Li Yuan''s spear!


    "Bang~" The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior seemed to have anticipated it, spinning around with a furious chop, and with a massive thundering bang, Li Yuan''s long spear clashed in an instant.


    The terrifying power tore through the sports field, splitting the ground, and sending numerous fragments of stone flying.


    But.


    The stones had no impact on the three individuals engaged in battle.


    "Roar~" The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior stared at Li Yuan in shock and anger, finding it inconceivable. Didn''t its enraged slash have any effect on this frail human martial artist?


    "Li Yuan?" Xu Bo was also surprised and delighted, "What just happened?"


    Xu Bo was equally astonished in his heart.


    "Teacher, I''m fine, not going to die," Li Yuan responded, with a faint trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.


    In reality, with the subtlety of his soul, Li Yuan had scrutinized every part of his body¡ªnerves, bones, flesh¡ªand had already sustained minor injuries from the direct clash just now, especially in the directly hit chest area where numerous capillaries had burst and the muscles were slightly torn.


    Luckily!


    His Origin Power Battle Suit, infused with Origin Power, significantly increased Li Yuan''s defense, allowing him to barely withstand the attack.


    Further, with his exquisite skill, Li Yuan managed to adjust his posture midair as he was sent flying, landing in such a manner as to unload the force, thereby minimizing the damage.


    Otherwise, with that one hit, Li Yuan would have been severely injured or even dead.


    "Kill."


    "Kill!" Li Yuan and Xu Bo moved together. After the exchange just now and observing each other''s strength, they instinctively made their move in perfect understanding.


    Whoosh!


    Xu Bo attacked head-on, his long spear jabbing furiously, fast as lightning.


    "Roar~" The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared and swung its dual swords furiously in a chopping motion.


    At the same time.


    Li Yuan shifted positions and charged from the other side, his long spear transforming into countless spear shadows.


    The Stellar Spear Technique''s ''Galaxy Waterfall''!


    One thrust followed by another, continuous and relentless, the spear momentum formidable.


    "This spear technique." The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior gritted its teeth, forced to divide its attention to fend off Li Yuan''s attacks while trying to repeat its previous move and send Li Yuan flying once again.


    ```


    However.


    After the first round of engagement, Li Yuan knew he couldn''t withstand a direct attack from a Second Rank warrior, so his long spear would retract immediately upon contact with that ferocious combat saber.


    He wouldn''t directly engage at all.


    "My role is to assist, to tie down a part of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior''s attention, giving Teacher an opportunity," thought Li Yuan, remarkably calm in his heart, but with a battle spirit soaring to the skies.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill! Kill! We must kill it before my Origin Power is completely drained," he thought desperately.


    "Otherwise, if I die, Li Yuan alone will definitely not be able to hold it off," Xu Bo was equally frantic, a terrifying battle spirit burning in his eyes, "This battle is probably my last one in this life."


    "We must kill it! We must!" Xu Bo had fallen into an extremely special state.


    If previously he was just trying to buy time, Li Yuan''s arrival truly gave him hope of killing the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    Moreover.


    The sight of Li Yuan being sent flying by a slash had also terrified him, followed by complete madness.


    At this moment.


    Both Xu Bo and Li Yuan were attacking with all their might, the shadow of their spears whistling as they struck from two directions.


    The pressure on the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior skyrocketed like never before, its head, eyes, neck, chest, groin, and legs were all under attack.


    At this instant, the large size of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior had become a disadvantage.


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The collision of the three fighters'' weapons sent shockwaves shooting in all directions, intensifying the battle to its peak.


    ...


    "Too strong?"


    "Are both Li Yuan and Xu Bo this strong?" Instructor Xing, watching from a distance, was dumbstruck, "I heard from the Hall Master before that Xu Bo at his peak wasn''t much weaker than him, but I didn''t expect it to be true. After being injured for so many years, he could still be so powerful?"


    "And Li Yuan, to be able to get involved in a battle of this level? He could probably defeat me in just a few exchanges," Instructor Xing thought, deeply shocked.


    ..."Captain."


    "Li Yuan?" Fang Longhu and the others were also immensely shocked; they knew Li Yuan was strong, but they didn''t expect him to be formidable to this extent.


    To be able to get involved in a Prime Warrior-level battle?


    How old was he?


    18 years old!


    "A genius," Fang Longhu felt the most shocked, "A year ago, I could suppress him with just 10% of my strength."


    "Now? He could defeat me in one move."


    ...On the school sports field, three figures were fighting fiercely, reaching a fever pitch.


    "AOAOAO!!" The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared, as within an extremely short amount of time, more than a dozen new wounds had been added to its body.


    While each wound wasn''t significant on its own.


    The accumulation of these wounds, along with the previous injuries, had already caused it a tremendous amount of damage.


    The most impactful was the stab from Li Yuan earlier into its waist, greatly affecting the warrior''s ability to exert force with its sword technique.


    The waist is the critical hub for the flow of vigor in the limbs.


    The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior realized that it had no chance of winning against these two human martial artists teaming up.


    And, since it had revealed itself and started fighting, more than two minutes had passed.


    So much time had gone by.


    "Other human Prime Warriors must be arriving soon," thought the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    ```


    It did not want to fight to the death.


    Under the command of the matriarch, after entering the human world, once they were able to break through from First to Second Rank, they were to avoid fighting to the death as much as possible, in order to play a bigger role.


    "Roar~"


    The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared, his combat saber furiously cleaving down, instantly forcing Li Yuan to retreat.


    Boom!


    It then burst forth in a sprint, rushing toward the direction of Nan Ye Lake.


    The lake would be its home ground, and once it entered the waters, shaking off the pursuit of the human martial artists would be much easier.


    "It''s trying to escape."


    "Li Yuan, keep it here, we absolutely cannot let it escape, this is a major disaster." Xu Bo shouted angrily and also dashed out like lightning, charging at the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    Boom!


    At this moment, Xu Bo could no longer hold back, activating the circulation of his Star Meridian as if burning his life potential, significantly boosting his speed.


    With continuous stabs, Xu Bo and the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior embarked on an extremely terrifying head-on confrontation, not giving an inch, directly blocking its path.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Li Yuan also remained incredibly calm, catching up like lightning, vigorously attacking the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    Straight thrust! Furious cleave! Throwing stab! Li Yuan brought his mastery of Spear Technique to the peak.


    He manifested a sky filled with spear shadows.


    "Clang! Clang clang clang!" The most critical outburst came from Xu Bo, whose spear was so fast at that moment that the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior became somewhat dazed by the hits.


    It was now completely at a disadvantage.


    "This isn''t right."


    "This one using Fire Origin Power, he is a true Prime Warrior!! But why didn''t he burst forth earlier? If he had done so earlier, I would probably have been killed by now." The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior could hardly believe it.


    It really wanted to flee, but faced with the extremely ferocious Xu Bo and Li Yuan, who was assisting attacked on the side.


    It simply couldn''t break free.


    "Bang~"


    After another lightning-fast exchange, Xu Bo suddenly closed the distance, raising his long spear high and furiously slashing down, forcing the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior to meet the attack with dual sabers. Then, under the impact of terrifying power, its massive body had to stagger backward.


    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Li Yuan''s long spear whistled through the air, his Spear Technique continuous like a rolling galaxy, growing more and more terrifying in power and leaving more wounds on its body.


    Many of those wounds were shocking, making its injuries even more severe.


    "Heavier!"


    "Faster! More fierce!" Li Yuan''s eyes were fixed on the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, exerting his utmost to perform the Stellar Spear Technique.


    This life-and-death battle made him vaguely gain more insight into the Spear Technique.


    Time and time again, they clashed.


    The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior kept retreating, it had completely panicked, feeling death drawing closer.


    Suddenly.


    "Puchi~" Xu Bo''s long spear thrust out like lightning, piercing through the gap between the dual combat sabers, sinking deeply into its chest, penetrating the muscle as copious amounts of blood splattered everywhere.


    "Whoosh!"


    Another pale yellow spear light flashed by, slashing across the neck of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, causing a gush of blood to surge forth.


    Thump!


    The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior stumbled backward, feeling its vitality rapidly fading, its life swiftly drawing to an end. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 192: 160 Breaking the Shackles of the Divine Palace

    In an all-out effort, sparing no expense, Xu Bo launched into full force.


    Together with Li Yuan, they finally inflicted a fatal injury on the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    "Boom~" "Clang."


    Two huge combat sabers fell to the ground as the Fish Spirit Clan warrior staggered backward, hands desperately clutching at its throat trying to stem the flow of blood.


    But to no avail.


    Its eyes, fixed upon the two powerful human Martial Artists before it, were filled with unwillingness.


    It was born in the Fish Spirit Star Realm, and after experiencing many tortures following its birth from its mother fish, it fought and slaughtered its brethren, eventually struggling to reach the Entry Rank.


    In the Fish Spirit Clan, only by reaching Entry Rank can one survive.


    Only by reaching Entry Rank can one be called ''warrior'', or else if one couldn''t reach it within ten years of birth, they would become fodder for their own kind.


    Yet Entry Rank was just the beginning.


    The wars within the Star Realm honed its abilities time and again, gradually improving its strength until it became a High Level Warrior, one step away from becoming a Second Rank powerhouse.


    Finally! It was chosen, sent to the human world to wage war¡ªa mission with a slim chance of survival, but they had no choice and could only hope to win the war in the end.


    After entering the human world and making its way through underground caverns, it slowly approached the ''Core City'' of the human world. Under the pressure of death, it broke through its life constraints, achieving a Unity of body and mind and directly breaking through to become a Second Rank powerhouse.


    Second Rank, for a Fish Spirit Clan warrior, is extremely difficult.


    The commander was overjoyed upon learning this and immediately decided to use it as the core of a ''Killing Formation'', prepared to ambush a team of human warriors.


    Once they succeeded.


    The second time, they ran into two elite human teams.


    "Ahh~" The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior let out the last sound of its life and then its massive body collapsed backward, falling silent forever.


    No mental control.


    Immediately, copious amounts of blood started flowing from its numerous wounds.


    Death.


    ..."[You have slain a Second Rank life form, breaking the Divine Palace''s constraints; your Spiritual Awakening limit is increased to 30%.]"


    "[You have slain a Second Rank life form, acquiring Spiritual Nature nourishment; your Spiritual Awakening Level reached 25.1%.]" Two Divine Palace notifications flashed across Li Yuan''s field of vision in quick succession.


    It startled him.


    Breaking the Divine Palace''s constraints? To break through the 25% limit of Spiritual Awakening, it turns out one must slay a Second Rank being.


    Divine Palace constraints? Is it referring to the 25% Spiritual Guidance constraints?


    In an instant, Li Yuan thought.


    Initially, the Divine Palace panel did not show Spiritual Awakening, only indicating that he harbored a high-order Spiritual Nature within him.


    It was before the January examination that, after he killed a First Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, the Spiritual Awakening appeared on the Divine Palace panel.


    "Could it be that the Spiritual Awakening limits of 0%, 25%, and even the subsequent 50%, are all ''Divine Palace constraints'', similar to the major breakthroughs of life levels like First Rank, Second Rank? Does one need to slay higher-rank Alien Race creatures to break them?" Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    "And the increase of the Spiritual Awakening limit from 10% to 20%, from 20% to 25%, is that like the transition from Level 13 to Level 14 without any fundamental difference, where you can keep raising the limit as long as your spiritual power keeps increasing?" Li Yuan mused covertly.


    Without any other precedents to follow.


    Li Yuan could only explore and summarize experiences on his own... but if he continued with this reasoning.


    "In the future, to break the 50% limit of my Spiritual Awakening, will I need to slay a Third Rank Alien Race creature?" Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    A Third Rank Alien Race, that would be comparable to a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Are they that easy to kill?


    ...The thoughts may seem slow, but in a mere few seconds, Li Yuan''s sharp mind had considered multiple possibilities.


    As he pondered, Li Yuan intended to approach the corpse of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.


    "Stop, don''t get close," Xu Bo said deeply, still standing in his original spot.


    "Teacher." Li Yuan looked at Xu Bo.


    "It looks dead, and by the Fish Spirit Clan''s anatomy, it should be dead." Xu Bo''s battle garment slowly retracted from his skin, revealing his slightly pale face: "But remember, never be careless. Be cautious that the enemy might be feigning death, waiting for you to come close before suddenly striking back."


    "Unless you cut off its head, crush its heart, and completely tear apart its limbs, you must always keep a vigilant heart," Xu Bo said: "In your future adventures in the Star Realm, always be so."


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then obediently nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher."


    He himself had the Divine Palace panel that could inquire whether this Fish Spirit Clan warrior was dead or alive.


    But what his teacher said wasn''t wrong.


    Walking the line between life and death, one cannot afford a single bit of negligence, this was the experience paid for with the blood of countless Martial Artist predecessors.


    "Go take care of the other Fish Spirit Clan warriors," Xu Bo said deeply: "I''ll keep watch over this one."


    "The Prime Warrior should be arriving shortly."


    "Yes."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan could tell that his teacher was not in great condition. With a swift movement, he darted towards the terrified, fleeing Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    ...


    "Ahh~"


    "Roar!" In fact, when that Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior was trying to flee for its life, the other Fish Spirit Clan warriors who were still alive were already panicked and attempting to escape.


    If their powerful ''Second Rank leader'' was no match, what chance did they have?


    However, Instructor Xing and Fang Longhu, with their two squads of more than a dozen warriors, have been fiercely blocking these Fish Spirit Clan warriors, delaying their steps.


    Therefore, when Li Yuan arrived, with a swoosh of his long spear, one after another, Fish Spirit Clan warriors began to fall to the ground.


    Suddenly.


    In the dark night sky, a flying craft rapidly approached.


    Bang!


    A figure ejected from the flying craft and plummeted from the sky; Li Yuan could not help but look up to see a blurry human figure, shrouded in a faint earthy yellow glow, as fast as lightning, whooshing through the tens of meters of the air.


    It crashed down directly on top of several Fish Spirit Clan warriors who were attempting to escape.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    With several consecutive lightning-fast collisions, the bodies of the four Fish Spirit Clan warriors exploded violently, sending blood and limbs flying in all directions.


    The assault was brutally aggressive.


    Li Yuan watched intently.


    The Prime Warrior who launched the surprise attack burst forth with a speed that easily surpassed a hundred meters per second in an instant.


    Moreover, the weapon he used was a pair of hammers!


    The two large hammers were covered with numerous spikes, making them look incredibly ferocious.


    "Boom~" "Bang~" "Bang~"


    One after another, the Fish Spirit Clan warriors fell to the ground, swept away in the blink of an eye.


    "Pfft~"


    Li Yuan also killed the last Fish Spirit Clan member, and with that, the crisis at Nanhuang Elementary School was resolved.


    The playground quieted down as many Martial Artists gathered, each of them gasping for breath.


    The recent intense battles had greatly drained everyone''s physical strength.


    "Phew!"


    The Prime Warrior moved and in a flash appeared in front of Li Yuan, his Origin Power Battle Suit retracting to reveal his true face.


    Only then did Li Yuan see clearly that the other party was about as tall as himself, with an equally young face, but with a particularly resolute look in his eyes.


    "Senior." Li Yuan bowed slightly.


    His own strength in terms of attack could only be said to be on par with a High Level Warrior above level 19.5, capable of posing a certain threat to Prime Warriors.


    But to compare to a real Prime Warrior? He was still falling far short.


    Any Entry Rank Prime Warrior could easily defeat him.


    "No need to call me senior," the young Prime Warrior holding the War Hammer said with a smile, "I know you, Li Yuan. Just call me by my name ''Gao Hao''."


    "Gao Hao?" A trace of confusion flickered through Li Yuan''s eyes.


    He had not heard of him before.


    "Officer Gao Hao," Instructor Xing ran over from not far away, bowing slightly, "Thank you. I am a Martial Path Instructor from the Guanshan branch hall."


    "Instructor Xing, I know you too," Gao Hao said with a smile, "Last time we had a meal together, Lord Wan brought you along."


    "Hmm." Instructor Xing nodded continuously, then introduced, "Li Yuan, Officer Gao Hao is also a member of our Starfire Martial Hall, a student of Starfire University, an A-level signee. He''s now a senior and has become a Prime Warrior."


    Li Yuan instantly understood the other''s identity.


    A Martial Path genius just like himself.


    A student of Starfire University? As long as one normally cultivates to their senior years, ninety-nine percent would be Prime Warriors.


    And according to the rules of Starfire Martial Hall, Prime Warriors, if not holding a position, are all called ''officers.''


    Flying Heaven Warriors, among the Martial Artist community, are all referred to as ''masters.''


    "Officer Gao Hao," Li Yuan immediately corrected himself.


    "Haha, I''ve seen your fighting in the freshmen battle of the ten schools. Now in terms of skill alone, you''re probably not inferior to me," Gao Hao laughed, "And in terms of strength... you''ve just started your freshman year and you''re already approaching the strength of a Prime Warrior. Tsk tsk, truly terrifying."


    "If you don''t become a Flying Heaven in the future, I would find it abnormal," Gao Hao laughed again, full of praise for Li Yuan.


    Meanwhile, Fang Longhu and over a dozen other human Martial Artists gathered around, their gazes towards Li Yuan had changed.


    During the recent chaotic battle,


    they all realized how powerful Li Yuan was, far surpassing these veteran soldiers.


    ...


    After a brief exchange, Gao Hao understood the situation.


    Instructor Xing and Fang Longhu had already taken the other human Martial Artists to rescue the injured students.


    Li Yuan and Gao Hao then approached the corpse of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan member.


    Xu Bo had been silently guarding it this whole time.


    He did not come over during the exchange of everyone else. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Officer Xu Bo, impressive," Gao Hao strode forward with a smile, "To be able to kill a Second Rank member of the Alien Race, truly a blade that hasn''t dulled..."


    Clearly, he knew of Xu Bo.


    Suddenly,


    "Teacher," a cry of alarm rang out.


    Li Yuan leaped to Xu Bo''s side in an instant, supporting him with one hand, his face full of shock and concern, "Teacher? What''s wrong with you?"


    At this moment Xu Bo''s complexion was extremely pale, devoid of any color, his face distorted with pain, large drops of sweat breaking out on his forehead, yet he was still standing erect.


    It seemed as though he was enduring immense pain.


    "Officer Xu Bo, what''s happened to you?" Gao Hao appeared quite shocked as he looked at Li Yuan.


    After a moment,


    Xu Bo''s face showed a few less traces of pain, forcing a smile, "Don''t worry."


    "I won''t die in a day or two."


    "It''s just that I forcefully ran my Star Meridian for too long, and my body can''t take it, after all, it''s been several years since I''ve truly operated Origin Power," Xu Bo explained soberly, "Poison has invaded not only my nerves in my body but has also seeped into every part of my Star Meridian.


    I didn''t feel it during my desperate outburst earlier, but now that the battle is over, I can''t bear it anymore."


    "Toxins permeating every part of your Star Meridian?" Li Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    What kind of toxin was this?


    Previously, he only knew his teacher had old injuries, never imagining it was poisoning.


    "A toxin that''s seeped into the Star Meridian? Penglai Blood Spirit Poison?" Gao Hao said in shock, "Officer Xu Bo, I''ll call for a medical flyer right away."


    Gao Hao obviously thought of the cause.


    Penglai Blood Spirit Poison? Li Yuan had never heard of it.


    "It''s a very special toxin from the Penglai Star Realm, a poison that is nearly incurable," Gao Hao quickly explained.


    Li Yuan was taken aback, nearly incurable?


    "Officer Gao Hao, there''s no need to call for a medical flyer, I''m beyond saving,"


    "Now is a crucial time, let''s not waste medical resources," Xu Bo shook his head indifferently, declining Gao Hao''s kind offer.


    "I''ve been prepared to face this day."


    "It''s just come a year or two earlier than I expected."

 Chapter 193: 161 The Best Destination for Martial Artists

    "Advance the timeline by one or two years earlier than expected?" Li Yuan''s heart shuddered. He had previously thought that Teacher Xu Bo was only injured and had suffered a decline in strength.


    He hadn''t expected it to be this serious.


    So, the teacher only had one or two years of life expectancy left? Logically, for a Prime Warrior, living past a hundred and fifty was quite easy.


    Li Yuan knew very well that given his teacher''s character, when things had reached such a state, he was highly unlikely to speak falsely.


    "Senior Xu Bo, won''t you try?" Gao Hao couldn''t help but say, "The medical flyer will arrive very quickly."


    He was a Martial Path genius from Jiang City.


    Although he had not been taught by Xu Bo, as a member of Starfire Martial Hall, he had also heard of Xu Bo''s deeds.


    "No need."


    "Steward Gao Hao, the crisis at Nanhuang Elementary School has been resolved. Go and carry out the next mission. Don''t worry about me," Xu Bo said firmly shaking his head, "The sooner the Fish Spirit Tide is cleared, the fewer casualties there will be."


    "Okay, Senior, take care." Gao Hao''s eyes dimmed slightly, and he stopped trying to persuade Xu Bo, bowing his hands in respect.


    Hum~


    A flyer landed, and with a light leap, Gao Hao propelled himself over ten meters high onto the vehicle; then it sped away, vanishing into the night sky.


    Time was pressing.


    As a Prime Warrior, he was an extremely important combat force and could play a significant role.


    "Teacher." Li Yuan looked at Xu Bo.


    "How are you feeling?" Xu Bo asked Li Yuan, taking the initiative to ask, "Is there any major problem?"


    "No." Li Yuan shook his head.


    "Then take the uninjured from yours and my teams, form a new team, and have you lead them to carry out the next mission. Don''t stay here," Xu Bo said, his face pale but composed, "A team led by you can still make a significant impact."


    "I can''t," Li Yuan shook his head, "Teacher, I have to take you back."


    "Obey the order."


    Xu Bo''s eyes suddenly became sharp: "How can you not even listen to your teacher''s words? What can you do by staying here? Can you heal me?"


    Li Yuan opened his mouth, his eyes reddening slightly, but he was unable to speak.


    In his heart, it felt as if a giant stone was weighing down ruthlessly, and a faint grief began to spread deep inside.


    "Don''t worry."


    "I won''t die right away." Xu Bo''s voice became gentle again, "You''ve become a Martial Artist, been to university for half a year, and should have gone through several combat assessments. Can''t you distinguish between what''s urgent and what''s not?"


    "Right now, the most pressing matter is to deal with the Fish Spirit Tide." S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This is the worst disaster Jiangbei Province has seen in over a decade and the worst Jiang City has seen in a hundred years," Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan, "You now have the ability, so go and play your part."


    "Go!" Xu Bo said emphatically, "Don''t make me reprimand you again."


    "Yes," Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    ...A few minutes later.


    From the two teams of surviving Martial Artists, 16 people were reorganized to form a new team of 10 members.


    Li Yuan led them, piloting a flyer, and according to the intelligent system''s assignments, they commenced their next mission.


    They quickly disappeared into the night sky.


    The remaining six, either due to weaker strength or injuries, stayed behind to continue participating in the school''s rescue.


    "He''s gone."


    As he watched Li Yuan''s team leave, Xu Bo struggled to stand and made his way towards the semi-collapsed teaching building. Listening to the cries for help coming from beneath the rubble of the teaching building, his heart ached.


    "It''s my fault."


    "If I could have lured that Fish Spirit Clan away, the battle wouldn''t have spread and caused the building to collapse," Xu Bo said through clenched teeth, enduring the pain in his body as he began to join the rescue.


    To die? From the day he knew his condition was incurable, he had been prepared.


    ...


    In the black night, within the marshland.


    The Fish Spirit Clan, which had been hiding here, was frantically fleeing.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ Numerous combat drones from all directions converged in the sky, relentlessly driving them on.


    "Dada dada!" Metallic bullets streaked across the night sky, wildly strafing down, and one after another, Fish Spirit Clan warriors fell to the ground, their cries filling the wilderness.


    "Boom!"


    In the open fields on the outskirts, the heavy drones were finally unreserved. Using radar, thermal imaging, and other technologies, they continuously dropped bombs.


    The noise was ear-splitting; the sound, thunderous!


    In the distance, there were also many human groups around the 10th level, along with combat robots, holding various thermal weapons, continually advancing from the ground and slaughtering everything in their path.


    On such a frontal confrontation battlefield, not to mention thousands of Entry Rank Fish Spirit Clan warriors.


    As long as there was no Second Rank power.


    Even if there were tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of Fish Spirit Clan, facing the encirclement of a massive Mechanical Legion, they would be completely wiped out.


    ...


    More than forty kilometers from the center of Jiang City, amidst the ruins of a street.


    "Kill!"


    "Advance on three lines! Annihilate," Li Yuan ordered coldly.


    In such street ruins, where a considerable number of civilians were still alive, heavy weapons could not be used.


    Only here could the First Rank Martial Artists play a role.


    "Ao~"


    A Fish Spirit Clan warrior hidden in the ruins suddenly burst forth, a dazzling flash of knife light cutting through the darkness.


    "Clang!"


    The Long Spear swung, blocking the terrifying knife strike.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s figure, like lightning, rushed forward with a fierce sprint, colliding directly with the body of the 18th level Fish Spirit Clan senior warrior.


    It caused its huge body to crash and fly backward.


    "Pff~"


    A shadow of a spear streaked across the Vast Sky, piercing the gigantic body in an instant; the image froze midair.


    Blood flowed.


    The Long Spear moved too fast.


    "Pcht~ Bang!" Li Yuan suddenly retracted the spear, its tip pointed downward, as blood ran down its shaft.


    The 18th level Fish Spirit Clan''s body landed heavily on the ground, its body still trembling.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" With two more thrusts of the spear, the Fish Spirit Clan''s head and four arms were sliced off, its body torn to pieces.

 Chapter 194: 161 The Best Destination for Martial Artists_2

    There was no sound.


    Li Yuan always listened to Teacher Xu''s advice.


    "[You have consecutively killed Entry Rank creatures, obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reached 25.2%]." A Divine Palace prompt flashed across Li Yuan''s vision.


    It made Li Yuan subconsciously stunned for a moment.


    "I killed six or seven First Rank Fish Spirit Clan members before without any reaction; I thought I couldn''t increase the Spiritual Awakening Level unless I killed Second Rank ones," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Turns out, a single First Rank Alien Race is not enough to increase the percentage by 0.1%."


    Li Yuan could imagine that as time went on, when his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 40%, 50%, to increase even a little bit of his Spiritual Nature, he would probably need to kill a large number of Alien Race members.


    "Then let''s kill," he said.


    "No matter how many Alien Race members there are, kill them all," Li Yuan''s eyes were cold, his heart surging with the desire to kill.


    Originally, breaking through the Divine Palace''s shackles to further increase the Spiritual Awakening Level should have been great news.


    But right now, Li Yuan''s heart couldn''t feel any joy at all.


    At this moment, all he wanted to do was to carry out more missions, kill more of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    ...


    For the entire Jiang City, it was an unbearably long night.


    It was a catastrophe that hadn''t occurred in over a hundred years.


    In the past, although the Fish Spirit Star Realm had launched several attacks, most were minor, and the only three significant ones targeted the Shi Zhou and Yizhou regions near the Star Realm entrance.


    Jiang City? It had never suffered an attack of such a massive scale before.


    Thus, at the initial outbreak of the Fish Spirit Tide, it caused incredible damage to the entire Jiang City, with heavy casualties and losses.


    However,


    the perfect city patrol defense system, Sky Net, Mechanical Legion, along with a large number of Martial Artists, made Jiang City''s war machine erupt quickly.


    Plus, the neighbouring counties, cities, and states were providing full support from the first moment.


    When the morning sun shone on the earth once again,


    this unprecedented scale of ''Fish Spirit Tide'' had mostly been wiped out.


    Apart from a few Fish Spirit Clan warriors who escaped into lakes, rivers, or fled along underground caves... the majority of the invading Fish Spirit Clan had been slaughtered.


    However, Human Warriors continued to pursue and kill them in flying vehicles.


    Countless Mechanical Warriors were also relentlessly tracking and attacking.


    ...


    "According to preliminary statistics,"


    "After a night of hard fighting, Jiang City has regained its peace, and the Star Realm Creatures attack has mostly been cleared," the host on the Star Realm channel said with a heavy voice, "Preliminary estimates show that the number of deaths in Jiang City exceeds 110,000, with more than 120,000 injured, and economic losses are huge...


    A rough count shows that more than 60,000 Entry Rank Star Realm Creatures have been killed... This has been a painful lesson."


    "This was a targeted attack exploiting the vulnerabilities in our country''s ''City Defense System''."


    "Reports have been submitted to the Seven Star Alliance, and adjustments and redeployments will be made to many city defense systems."


    ...


    At 11 AM on December 18th,


    Li Yuan''s squad no longer received tasks assigned by the smart system.


    "The war mission is basically over."


    "Martial Artist Li Yuan, your combat video will be synchronized and uploaded with the monitoring smart bracelet... once the defense of Jiang City is completely concluded, a unified commendation will take place," Li Yuan received a reminder.


    "I received it too,"


    "There''s a reminder to go home and rest first, and wait for further orders," Instructor Xing, Fang Longhu, and the others spoke one after another, all looking towards Li Yuan.


    After this night of fighting,


    their trust in Li Yuan had reached an immeasurable level.


    "Alright."


    "Return," Li Yuan, his eyes bloodshot, gave the command.


    Whoosh!


    The flying vehicle quickly flew towards the Starfire South Lake residential area.


    Ordinary rescue tasks? They were swiftly mobilized across society.


    ...


    The Starfire South Lake residential area, as tranquil as ever, seemed untouched by war''s inferno. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Back home,


    Li Yuan gave his family a few instructions,


    then reentered the underground Martial Arts Room and ate a serving of High Origin Spirit Spring.


    Next, he silently practiced the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" "All Heavens'' Stars."


    Fighting nonstop in this battle and being injured by a Second Rank Alien Race had exhausted him to the limit.


    He practiced continuously for over five hours,


    until five in the afternoon.


    Li Yuan then slowly opened his eyes, his body''s fatigue completely dissipated.


    His internal injuries were also mostly healed, and he felt even more energetic.


    "Origin Power has a healing effect," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "coupled with the Visualization Method, as long as the injury is not fatal, one would recover quickly."


    Li Yuan''s peripheral vision unconsciously glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 15.9 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 17,345 kilograms


    Speed: 59.2 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 24.8


    Willpower: 29


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 25.4% (current limit 30%)


    Star Meridian: Level 10


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 99%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 99%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 99%)


    ...


    Judging solely from the data on the Divine Palace panel, other than the Spiritual Awakening Level, the changes in other areas were minimal.


    However, in reality...


    The bloodshed experienced this night, everything that had happened, the streets like ruins, the ordinary people who died, the weak and old wailing in collapsing buildings, Teacher Xu... the impact on Li Yuan''s soul was unprecedented.


    This was something that ten Combat Assessments could not compare to.


    "The duty of a Martial Artist."


    "Kill the enemy, protect the country." Li Yuan whispered to himself, understanding these words on a deeper level than before.


    This was something that hundreds of ''General History Classes'' could never match.


    ...


    At six o''clock in the afternoon.


    Li Yuan arrived on the ninth floor of the first hospital in Guan Mountain District and headed straight for the VIP ward.


    Li Yuan had inquired many people, including Principal Tan, and confirmed that Xu Bo had been brought here.


    Being a Prime Warrior and having earned many merits... Xu Bo was reluctant, but still, he was forcibly taken here.


    "Uncle Wan," Li Yuan saw Wan Qinghe and another unfamiliar woman in black standing at the door.


    "Li Yuan? You''re here?" Wan Qinghe saw Li Yuan.


    "You are Li Yuan?" The woman in black stared at Li Yuan, her gaze quite friendly.


    "Uncle Wan," Li Yuan nodded and looked at the woman in black, "Senior, who are you?"


    Through inquiry via the Divine Palace, Li Yuan confirmed that the woman in black was a 24th-Level Prime Warrior.


    "She used to be a teammate of your Teacher Xu," Hall Master Wan said softly, "Li Yuan, we''ll talk later. You go in first; your teacher... doesn''t have much time left."


    Li Yuan''s heart trembled, and his eyes slightly reddened.


    Stepping past the two Prime Warriors, he entered the ward, where many people were also present.


    They all turned to look at Li Yuan.


    "It''s Li Yuan, Teacher Xu''s student."


    "Li Yuan has come." The majority of these people had average strength. Among them was a young man who bore some resemblance to Xu Bo.


    Li Yuan instantly understood; these people were probably Teacher Xu''s family members.


    "Li Yuan." On the hospital bed, Xu Bo''s face was extremely pale.


    Compared to the man last night who, even fighting a Second-Rank Alien Race, looked like a war god in all his tall and brawny glory.


    It was a world of difference.


    "Teacher..." Li Yuan''s nose tingled, and he leaned over the bed.


    Li Yuan could clearly sense that his teacher''s life force was indeed dwindling constantly.


    "Teacher, is there really no cure for your illness? Aren''t there any Heavenly Materials Treasures that could work?" Li Yuan''s heart trembled slightly, still holding a glimmer of hope.


    However, Gao Hao was knowledgeable and powerful, and he had said it was almost unsolvable, which likely meant it was true.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had inquired many people since last night.


    The answers were either ''unsolvable.''


    Or unachievable.


    "Stop thinking about it. I have many friends, and even Flying Heaven Warriors have come to help me," Xu Bo said weakly from his bed, "It''s a miracle I''ve been able to hold on for a few years."


    "I know what you are thinking, but how can everything in this world go as one wishes?"


    "Even Dongfang Ji couldn''t do it."


    "Last night, being able to join forces with you, my student, to kill a Second-Rank Alien Race, was satisfying enough." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, his pale face beaming with a radiant smile, "At least it proves that to the end, I, Xu Bo, have died a glorious and heroic death! That''s the best outcome for a Martial Artist."


    "You, too, have proved that I, Xu Bo, did well as a Martial Artist and passed as a teacher."


    "I had hoped I could wait to see you win the championship at the Global Collegiate Martial Path Competition, but it looks like I won''t be able to wait."


    Li Yuan''s eyes were completely red as he bit down on his teeth, trying hard to restrain tears from falling.


    "Xu Ling, come here, meet your senior brother Li." Xu Bo suddenly said in a low voice, reprimanding.

    ```


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but turn his head to look over; the youth who bore a striking resemblance to Xu Bo also knelt down.


    His eyes were slightly red as he looked at his own father, then turned to Li Yuan, preparing to bow: "Senior Brother."


    He often heard his father mention this ''Senior Brother Li Yuan'', the most outstanding disciple his father had taught over the years.


    "Hmm, get up," Li Yuan said softly, helping the youth to his feet.


    "Teacher, whatever you wish to say, just speak," Li Yuan said, holding back his tears as he looked at Xu Bo.


    "Good."


    "I''m going to die, and there''s no need for secrecy anymore. I hope you won''t hold this against me," Xu Bo said, squeezing out a slight smile: "Xu Ling is my son; his mother died at the hands of an alien race, and I''ve always felt I owed it to him."


    "In the future, if he encounters any trouble, if there''s any way you can help him, please help him out," Xu Bo pleaded with a glint of hope in his eyes.


    Perhaps, he had once been a man of unyielding integrity.


    He had been the mighty ''Tie Ta'', renowned across the Star Realm.


    But at this moment, he was just a ''father'' who hoped to pave a smoother path for his child and leave behind some goodwill in the final chapter of his own life.


    "Teacher, you have so many friends and relatives; they will all help Xu Ling," Li Yuan said, his heart aching as he spoke: "But rest assured, from now on, I''ll treat Xu Ling like a younger brother and will definitely help him whenever I can."


    "Good," Xu Bo relaxed with this assurance.


    He had asked many people, but in his heart, Li Yuan was the most significant one, the one with the most promise of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future.


    "Li Yuan."


    "In the past, I too aspired to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, to wield my spear to fame in the Xia Country and even exterminate the alien races of the Star Realm," Xu Bo said softly to Li Yuan: "Regrettably, I can no longer achieve that."


    "So, after my injury, in the last years of my life, I returned to Jiang City to teach, to exert the last of my strength."


    "You are the finest student I''ve ever had," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, with a trace of expectation in his eyes: "I hope you can carry on with my blessing."


    "Become a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "And even surpass the Flying Heaven level, to truly become the pinnacle existence of our human civilization," Xu Bo said with a smile.


    "Teacher, I will try my best," Li Yuan nodded, still trying his hardest to keep the tears from falling.


    Xu Bo became Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Teacher when he was in the eleventh grade.


    In terms of time spent together, it wasn''t long.


    But Xu Bo was the first person who genuinely sought nothing in return while wholeheartedly helping Li Yuan, whether it was guidance in cultivation or in life, or when he joined the Starfire Martial Hall... Xu Bo always supported Li Yuan with all his might.


    Today would be the last time they would see each other.


    ...


    Li Yuan didn''t stay in the hospital room too long.


    He was, after all, just Xu Bo''s ''student'', barely considered a direct disciple.


    In these final moments of life, Xu Bo surely wished for his relatives to be by his side.


    "Uncle Wan," Li Yuan walked out of the hospital room.


    The woman in black had already left.


    "I''d been meaning to tell you about Xu Bo''s situation, but your teacher didn''t want to," Wan Qinghe said: "You''re young and haven''t seen much of this."


    "I don''t want to comfort you with platitudes because anyone would find this difficult," Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan and sighed: "Your teacher is a good man, and it pains me to see him like this."


    "I just want to let you know."


    "This is the path of a martial artist. From university onward, there will be many classmates who die; more friends, acquaintances, and elders will perish in the Star Realm, and many won''t even leave behind a body or place of death to be found... We can only face it; we must face it," Wan Qinghe told Li Yuan.


    "What we can do is make ourselves stronger and more powerful," Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan.


    Today, his words were particularly direct, without much concealment.


    "I understand," Li Yuan nodded softly.


    Before long.


    Wan Qinghe left as well; as Hall Master of the Starfire Guan Mountain District, he had many duties at such a time.


    It was rare for him to find the time to visit Xu Bo.


    But Li Yuan didn''t leave; he waited silently outside the hospital room.


    Time passed, and more people came to visit.


    By eight in the evening, a figure Li Yuan didn''t expect to see appeared in the hallway.


    "Lanyue?" Li Yuan was surprised to see the arrival.


    "Are you that surprised to see me?" Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan; it had been a long time since they last saw each other in real life.


    "Didn''t you say you weren''t coming back to Jiang City for the holidays?" Li Yuan asked, as he and Lin Lanyue often communicated online.


    Until now, Lin Lanyue had been in the Lantis Continent and hadn''t returned from Starry Sky University.


    "You told me about Teacher Xu''s situation; he is also my Martial Arts Teacher. Shouldn''t I come back to see him?" Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan.


    In high school, Xu Bo was also the Martial Arts Teacher for three different classes.


    "Do you have...?" Li Yuan''s heart flickered with a glimmer of hope.


    Last night, while on a mission, Li Yuan had asked Lin Lanyue, hoping to find a solution.


    "No," Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    The last glimmer of hope in Li Yuan''s heart extinguished.


    "To save Teacher Xu, the poison must be eliminated, but the engulfing Star Meridian poison has penetrated deep into his star meridians, making it very difficult," Lin Lanyue sighed softly: "I asked my father, and perhaps a being beyond the Flying Heaven level could do it."


    ```


    "But at least, my father couldn''t do it."


    Li Yuan''s gaze darkened, this was within his expectations.


    Just like Xu Bo himself said, he had a wide network and even several Flying Heaven Warriors had tried to help.


    If it was possible to save him, it would have been done by now.


    "Alright, I''ll go see Teacher." Lin Lanyue said, and entered the ward.


    She soon came out of the ward.


    The two sat quietly on the chairs outside the ward, silently waiting.


    "I heard from my second brother that you performed very well during the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City," Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan. "You''ll probably be acknowledged as a key figure."


    "Key acknowledgement?" Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    With Lin Lanyue''s significant family background, it wasn''t hard for her to know such news in advance.


    However, Li Yuan didn''t feel much joy in his heart; he would rather not have this so-called recognition.


    Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan and said no more.


    Although she was also a student of Xu Bo, her emotions weren''t as deep, and she couldn''t feel the same as Li Yuan.


    ...


    In the early hours of around four in the morning, Xu Bo passed away peacefully in the ward, surrounded by numerous family members, friends, and students.


    He was only 48 years old.


    ...


    Two days later, Xu Bo''s memorial service was held in the auditorium of Guan Mountain District.


    As one of only two Prime Warriors who fell in the battle of the ''Fish Spirit Tide'' in Jiang City.


    Indeed, both Starfire Martial Hall and the nation officially recognized Xu Bo as ''fallen in battle'' and, in light of his significant contributions to humanity and Xia Country throughout his life, posthumously awarded him a First Rank Metal Quality Medal.


    His memorial service was undoubtedly grand.


    Lin Lanyue stayed in Jiang City for several days, accompanying Li Yuan to Xu Bo''s memorial service.


    Then she quickly left and returned to the Lantis Continent.


    ...


    After attending Teacher Xu''s memorial service and having a private conversation with Xu Ling,


    Li Yuan returned home.


    The various buildings and streets in Jiang City damaged by the Fish Spirit Tide were being rapidly repaired.


    However, the immense casualties, and the pain in the hearts of the tens of millions of people in Jiang City, couldn''t be erased in a moment''s time.


    It would take a very long time.


    As time passed, during the remaining days of his holiday, besides his daily routine of intense training, Li Yuan spent time accompanying his uncle and aunt.


    Following Teacher Xu''s incident, Li Yuan became even more aware that time often never returns once it has passed.


    So many things.


    If not done in the moment, it''s easy to be left with regret that can''t later be compensated for.


    For Li Yuan, he no longer had the chance to repay Teacher Xu''s ''teachings and kindness.''


    The departed had moved on. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Therefore, for the days he could accompany his uncle and aunt, Li Yuan treasured them all the more.


    ...On December 25th, Jiangbei Province announced that the ''Jiang City Fish Spirit Attack'' was over, but the counterattacks and reprisals against the Fish Spirit Star Realm would continue.


    ...


    On December 27th, a citywide commendation meeting was held in Jiang City, recognizing civilians and warriors who had made outstanding contributions during the Fish Spirit Tide.


    Li Yuan was set up as a ''role model for young warriors'', and at last, he was awarded the ''First Rank Silver Quality Medal.''


    Coupled with previous deeds, his fame within Jiangbei Province continued to rise.


    But.


    All of this Li Yuan never took to heart, even the ''dinner banquet'' following the award ceremony. He did not attend.


    Instead, he went straight back home.


    On the villa''s rooftop, the stars filled the sky, and the entire neighborhood was exceptionally quiet.


    "In two days, I will depart for the Mingxu Star Realm," Li Yuan sat quietly thinking.


    Downstairs.


    Since the meeting was not broadcast live, his uncle, aunt, younger brother, and sister were watching the projected video, viewing the edited broadcast of the award ceremony.


    Li Yuan just sat quietly on the rooftop, listening to his family''s discussion.


    Looking at the calm lake in the distance.


    Looking at the villas around him, Li Yuan felt an extraordinary peace in his heart; he found this moment particularly beautiful.


    It was as if the recent warfare had all been a mere illusion.


    "If every day for everyone in the country could be like this, how wonderful that would be," Li Yuan silently wished.


    He quietly observed everything.


    Gradually, Li Yuan felt an increasing calmness in his heart, experiencing a subtle change.

 Chapter 198: 164 Principal Fang Hai

    The Starry Skies Fighting Network, that mysterious ''Observation Space''.


    Two observers from Xia Country gazed at the data in their hands in shock, exchanging glances with eyes full of disbelief.


    "18 years old? Li Yuan? He''s the one we observed last time, isn''t he?" the observer in the black robe couldn''t help saying.


    "Yes," the observer in the white robe shrugged, "In the entire Xia Country, the only one who reached the Sun Eclipse Stage at 18, besides him, is Dantai Feng. But only Li Yuan uses the Spear Technique, and we have observed him several times before... A breakthrough in strength always has some traces, it''s certainly him, there can''t suddenly be a second peerless genius like this."


    The observer in the white robe had already started referring to Li Yuan as a ''peerless genius''.


    "18 years old, Unity of Heaven and Man?" the observer in the black robe said, his voice filled with astonishment, "How did he do it?"


    "Damn it, why didn''t we pay attention to his combat video just now?" said the observer in the black robe.


    "Hmm, he''s not undergoing rank matching anymore, we can''t see the scenes in his personal space," said the observer in the white robe, "Let''s check his combat replay."


    He reached out and touched the light screen.


    "Clang~" A prohibiting sound echoed in the Observation Space.


    "Respected observers, this user has been designated as an ''SSS level user'', you do not have observation privileges." the system prompt sounded: "To observe, please apply for permissions."


    "What?"


    "SSS level user?" Both observers were shocked. As special emissaries of Xia Country to the Starry Skies Fighting Network, their privileges were extremely high.


    Normally, they would be allowed to watch even Transcendent Stage battles.


    "When did he become an SSS user?" the observer in the white robe couldn''t help asking, "We were still able to watch his replays a while ago."


    "18 seconds ago, personally ordered by a Star Master of the Seven Star Alliance," the system''s voice sounded again.


    The two observers were already too shocked for words.


    Star Master?


    One who attained such an honor in the Alliance, was at least a pinnacle existence in the Flying Heaven Level, or perhaps... it was a presence that could be considered high-ranking even when considering all of human civilization.


    Suddenly.


    "Beep~" A sound abruptly rose in the Observation Space, followed by a huge light screen emerging in front of the two, with an elderly man in a black robe appearing on it.


    "Director," the two observers became solemn, bowing slightly in salute.


    "Regarding Li Yuan, you do not need to observe any further," the voice of the elderly man in the black robe was gentle, "All the data you have inquired about him before, seal it all, leaking information is strictly forbidden."


    "Yes," the two observers replied respectfully.


    ...


    Almost at the same time.


    Inside the colossal, spaceship-like floating city of the ''Blue Star Headquarters'' of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    The dawn of heaven and earth remained unchanged.


    Within an exceptionally large office.


    "Yao Man," the man shrouded in a black robe on the light screen spoke indifferently, "Seal all the data about Li Yuan, and cease any further inquiries."


    "What? No more inquiries?" Yao Man, the beautiful woman in a Tang suit, was taken aback.


    Yao Man ranked very high within the hierarchy of the Starry Sky Martial Hall. Although not a Flying Heaven Warrior herself, her power and influence were by no means less than that of an average Flying Heaven Warrior.


    She was in charge of many affairs of the Starry Sky Martial Hall in Xia Country.


    "This is a request from Xia Country," the middle-aged man in the light screen projection said indifferently, "Li Yuan has been signed by the Starfire Martial Hall. If it is confirmed that he has entered the Fifth Stage of Unity of Heaven and Man, following Yu Jinghe, he will be another peerless genius to cross into the Fifth Stage before 19...


    It''s normal for Xia Country to place great importance on him."


    "You must understand that compared to us, Xia Country puts more trust in Starfire Martial Hall."


    "But can Li Yuan''s strength really be hidden? At most, during the global university Martial Path contest, won''t he be exposed?" Yao Man''s voice betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction, "At most we''re just gathering some data, we''re not going to harm him."


    "A Star Master in the Alliance has already issued an order. This is not a discussion with you, but a command," the middle-aged man in the projection said directly.


    Yao Man fell silent immediately.


    Star Master?


    In the Seven Star Alliance, how many Star Masters does Xia Country have in total?


    "Yes, I will execute it immediately," Yao Man replied seriously, no longer defending her point.


    "Alright, no matter how the Starfire Martial Hall and Xia Country cultivate him," the middle-aged man spoke indifferently," ultimately, he is a genius of our human civilization. We will simply observe."


    Yao Man nodded in agreement.


    Starry Sky Martial Hall, Starfire Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall, the three Martial Halls subtly ruled over the Seven Star Alliance, their positions overtopping the nations of the Seven Stars... There was competition among them, but all with boundaries.


    Perhaps, individual powerhouses had life and death enmity with one another, but the three Martial Halls would never erupt in direct conflict.


    ...


    At Kunlun Martial University, nestled deep within the villa area belonging to the Sixth Institute.


    Beside the secluded lake.


    Dean Hai, with an exotically handsome appearance, was wearing a practice outfit and wordlessly practicing Fist Technique against the morning glow.


    The early winter wind was chilly, yet it didn''t affect Dean Hai in the least.


    Move by move.


    Gradually.


    Streaks of blue radiance began to gather around him, flowing like water and containing the essence of profound truths. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If Li Yuan were here, he would be shaken to the core, as he was only capable of the initial integration of spirit with heaven and earth.


    But Dean Hai, his entire being seemed to merge with heaven and earth, not just spiritually.


    But also physically.


    As he exercised the Fist Technique, he became a stunning tableau, constantly drawing upon the mysterious forces between heaven and earth, all naturally occurring.


    This state of being had truly stepped into the world of the ''Dao'', gaining a glimpse into the subtleties of the universe.


    For a long time!


    Whoosh!


    As Dean Hai finished his forms, water was generated from thin air, flowing out before transforming into countless droplets flying in all directions, showering the surrounding grass.


    "Old Hai, your Fist Technique has improved again," a gentle and unexpected voice sounded.


    Shattered the tranquility here.


    "Hmm?" Dean Hai, who had been rather relaxed, suddenly turned around with a shocked expression toward the far end of the lake.


    A figure in a black robe was standing above the lake, suspended in the air.


    But it should be noted that with Dean Hai''s consciousness fully extended, he should have perceived everything within several kilometers, including all Prime Warriors and above. None should have escaped his inquiry.


    However.


    Before the figure in the black robe spoke, he indeed was not within Dean Hai''s perception.


    Whoosh!


    The figure in the black robe took a step forward, almost teleporting, crossing hundreds of meters to stand before Dean Hai, smiling at him.


    The man, who looked to be about thirty years old, had a handsome face, sharply chiseled as if carved by knife and ax, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a vast ocean, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.


    Most importantly.


    Standing there casually, he completely merged with the surroundings, by that merit alone, he far surpassed Dean Hai.


    "Old Fang," Dean Hai revealed a hint of a smile, "why didn''t you notify me before you came to my place?"


    "Kunlun Martial University is my home. Do I need to notify you when I walk around in my own home?" the young man in the black robe said indifferently.


    The young man in the black robe''s identity was becoming apparent.


    "When an official is one level above, they crush the rest. You call the shots," Dean Hai spread his hands, completely giving up.


    Whoosh!


    Dean Hai waved his hand and two stools from a distant villa courtyard landed on the grassland: "Old Fang, have a seat."


    A fruit platter landed as well.


    The young man in the black robe smiled faintly and said no more, sitting down.


    After both were seated.


    "So, what brings you here?" Dean Hai asked, while grabbing an apple to eat.


    He and the young man in the black robe were very close, and even shared life-and-death experiences, not minding such formalities.


    The more powerful they are, the more they follow their heart''s desires.


    "It''s about Li Yuan," the young man in the black robe said calmly.


    "Li Yuan?" Dean Hai frowned. "Didn''t I already discuss with you last time, as long as his combat assessment score exceeded 80, you would help him secure a spot in Feixing?"


    "What, you agreed at the time, and now you''re saying it''s not possible?" Dean Hai was slightly dissatisfied. "He is my student, but also your student."


    "Could you let me finish?" the young man in the black robe gave him a glance.


    "Go ahead," Dean Hai shrugged and took a big bite of his apple.


    "I just got a message, he is suspected of having entered the Unity of Heaven and Man level," the young man in the black robe stated calmly.


    "What?" Dean Hai was stunned.


    He doubted he had heard correctly.


    "Do you need me to repeat it?" The young man in the black robe glanced at Dean Hai.


    "No, I just need a moment," Dean Hai hurriedly shook his head, the shock in his heart indescribable.


    Li Yuan, Fifth Stage Unity of Heaven and Man?


    "You''re talking about my student Li Yuan, right?" Dean Hai suddenly said. "He just reached Subtlety at the beginning of October, right?"


    "That''s him," the young man in the black robe was still indifferent.


    "Now, at the end of December, you''re telling me he has reached Unity of Heaven and Man?" Dean Hai looked at the young man in the black robe.


    "It hasn''t been completely confirmed yet," the young man in the black robe said calmly. "I came to see you so that you would arrange for someone to go to Jiang City to verify it personally."


    "If it is confirmed that he has indeed reached Unity of Heaven and Man, he will directly receive a Feixing quota," the young man in the black robe said softly. "If it is confirmed that he hasn''t made the breakthrough, then we''ll follow the original plan."


    "Alright," Dean Hai calmed down as well.


    He had been shocked for a moment, but in history, there had been 18-year-olds at the Fifth Stage Unity of Heaven and Man.


    "If it''s confirmed he has entered the Fifth Stage, do you still arrange for him to struggle for survival in Star Realm?" Dean Hai asked. "The rate of falling there is quite high."


    "Go," the young man in the black robe glanced at Dean Hai. "Aren''t you always telling those juniors like Li Yang that I was overprotected and hardly faced any trials and tribulations, which is why I never made a breakthrough?"


    "Damn it," Dean Hai widened his eyes. "You eavesdropped on me? Have you no shame?"


    The young man in the black robe revealed a hint of a smile as if to say, I eavesdropped on you, what can you do about it?


    Whoosh!


    The young man in the black robe stood up.


    "You won''t stay a bit longer? Have an apple, it''s clean," Dean Hai stood up and said.


    "I don''t like eating apples," the young man in the black robe took a step, vanishing at the end of the lake.


    In mid-air, only one last faint voice echoed: "If I hear you bad-mouthing me again, I''ll sit you under my butt and let out a stink for you."


    Dean Hai watched as the other left.


    For a long while.


    Until the figure in the black robe completely disappeared from sight.


    "Damn Fang Hai, threatening me, think you''re so great because you''re a dean?" Dean Hai muttered under his breath.


    "I am a dean, that''s why I am great," a familiar voice suddenly rang out.


    "Scram!"


    Dean Hai glared. "You''re eavesdropping even on my mumbling? What kind of habit is that!"


    Boom!


    Dean Hai flashed into the villa, and the doors slammed shut.


    ...


    An hour later, a large aircraft took off from Kunlun Martial University and headed directly for Jiang City.

 Chapter 199: 165: Transcendent Stage! Number One in the World!

    Aboard the aircraft.


    "Li Yang, what exactly is going on? Why does Dean Hai want us to immediately depart for Jiang City to see Li Yuan?" Dean Xu frowned.


    She originally had other important matters to attend to but was suddenly called in.


    Critical.


    Dean Hai had only discussed it with Li Yang and then instructed her to follow Li Yang''s orders.


    But what specifically it was about, she didn''t know, and naturally, she wasn''t too pleased about it.


    "Good news."


    "But we''ll have to meet Li Yuan and confirm it before we discuss further," Li Yang said with a mysterious smile. "Don''t rush; we''ll be there in a few hours."


    Li Yang, however, was already quite excited inside.


    He couldn''t forget the scene when Dean Hai talked to him about this matter not long ago.


    "Li Yuan is suspected to have achieved Unity of Heaven and Man," Dean Hai had said very calmly at the time as if everything was under control. "Go to Jiang City with Dean Xu to verify its authenticity."


    Unity of Heaven and Man.


    When Li Yang first heard this news, his shock was indescribable, and he even doubted if he had heard wrong.


    Heavens!


    Li Yang, who had cultivated for decades, had struggled to step into the Fifth Stage, was already being extolled by countless people.


    What about Li Yuan? How old was he?


    "If it''s true, to progress from just entering the Third Stage to stepping into the Fifth Stage in a year and a half?" Li Yang muttered to himself: "This rate of improvement is too exaggerated, even more so than Fang Hai back in the day."


    "However."


    "This is my student, my disciple." Li Yang''s eyes shone brightly.


    ...


    Li Yuan had no idea that his ''virtual duel'' on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, where that sudden burst from a spear caused a tremendous shock.


    After all, it wasn''t a Transcendent Stage promotion match, and he ultimately lost the battle.


    Li Yuan had already exited the virtual network and returned to the underground Martial Arts Room.


    Grasping the Black Chen Spear.


    "The long spear is like a dragon." Li Yuan held the long spear tightly, silently feeling the flow of vigor within the spear shaft, with absolute subtlety, and without a hint of concealment.


    It can be said.


    Li Yuan now truly became one with the long spear in his hand, far surpassing the so-called ''Unity of man and weapon.''


    "The virtual network can only simulate Fifth Stage Skills to 50%, and it can''t reach 100%," Li Yuan''s eyes were bright: "To truly practice the spear, it must be done in reality."


    The real world is the foundation.


    The power of the real world is vast and limitless, while the virtual network is just a simulation.


    "Whoosh!"


    Li Yuan moved his long spear, and his Spear Technique and Spear Momentum had completely changed. The spear tip shone with dazzling lights, like the shifting light of stars.


    Somewhere in between, it was as if the starlight intertwined, rolling and surging, beautiful and splendid.


    At this moment.


    Li Yuan truly felt a sliver of the True Intent of the ''Meaning of the Stellar, Second Layer: Dust of Stars.'' He immersed his whole being into the Spear Technique, displaying it to his heart''s content.


    Amidst the changing shadows of the spear.


    Li Yuan could faintly sense an odd Mystery of the universe that he had captured, which was a trace of the essence and wonder of its operation.


    The Spear Technique followed this trace of wonder, making the power contained within the long spear more formidable, making its speed even faster.


    An all-around enhancement.


    Every spear thrust! When exploding it was like stars shattering, overwhelmingly unstoppable.


    Every spear thrust! When retracting it was like the vast earth, solid and indestructible.


    This is the Second Layer of the ''Meaning of the Stellar'' ¡ª Dust of Stars.


    Both offensive and defensive, both towering and minuscule.


    "Unity of Heaven and Man! The Meaning of the Stellar!" Li Yuan understood even more the true essence of Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Before the Fifth Stage Skill, Martial Artists focus on digging out body power, making the body burst faster and fiercer.


    From the Fifth Stage onward, one maximizes the potential of the body, striving to make every move conform to the trace of essence in the operation of the universe.


    Like two people of equal Physical Quality, but the one with superior skills would naturally be much stronger.


    And the Fifth Stage Skill is about making one''s spirit and body strive to conform to the universe.


    Man in the universe.


    The Mystery of the universe is the great path.


    "Without ''The Meaning of the Stellar'', without the guidance and teaching of Teacher Li Yang, Dean Xu, I could not have taken this step so quickly," Li Yuan practiced more smoothly as he went on.


    To comprehend, one must do it oneself.


    But with the experience of predecessors and standing on the shoulders of giants, one can proceed faster and more steadily.


    "Compared to half a month ago."


    "My speed and strength have improved a lot, and my Spear Technique and movement technique have transformed." Li Yuan thought to himself, "If I run into that Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan member again, I could fend it off by myself."


    Of course.


    Li Yuan was not so arrogant to think he could now defeat a Second Rank powerhouse... That Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan member had just broken through and did not have an Origin Power Battle Suit or Origin Power Weapon, so it was considered the weakest type of Second Rank Alien Race.


    After cultivating for a long time.


    "[Your Spear Technique realm has progressed from 1% at the Fifth Stage to 2% at the Fifth Stage]" A prompt from the Divine Palace suddenly flashed by.


    Li Yuan hardly paid attention, still wholly absorbed in his cultivation.


    Another hour passed before Li Yuan stopped, feeling an incomparable sense of ease throughout his body.


    "When practicing the spear, I unintentionally entered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, nourishing the soul with the force of heaven and earth, cleansing the body with Origin Power." Li Yuan immediately understood what was happening and silently marveled, "It made me feel no fatigue at all."


    "It''s said that once Unity of Heaven and Man is achieved, there is hardly a need for sleep or rest... It seems to be true."


    For Martial Artists who have achieved Unity of Heaven and Man.


    When they enter the state during daily practice, it''s a form of rest.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan abruptly turned his head and saw the figure standing at the stairs.


    "Muhua, when did you get here?" Li Yuan laughed.


    "I''ve been here for a while," Li Muhua''s eyes shone brightly. "Bro, the spear technique you just used was so beautiful, I''ve never seen such a beautiful spear technique before."


    "Compared to your technique, our teacher''s is just trash."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh. The Martial Arts Teachers in middle school mostly had skills around the Third Stage level.


    How could they compare to him?


    "Don''t set your sights too high; there''s no set pattern to spear techniques, and mine don''t have fixed forms anymore. You can''t learn them," Li Yuan smiled. "First, work hard on mastering the Solid Rock Fist Technique, then get the basics of the Spear Technique right."


    "When your level is sufficient, I''ll arrange for a good teacher to instruct you specifically," Li Yuan said.


    "Okay, bro, I''ll definitely work hard," Li Muhua nodded earnestly, full of fighting spirit.


    "Brother."


    "This is the breakfast milk Mom asked me to bring you, I''ve put it here," Li Muhua said with a cheeky smile. "I won''t disturb your training."


    He put down the milk and quickly went upstairs.


    "Milk." Li Yuan smiled slightly, picking up the cup and drinking it in one gulp.


    It was tasteless.


    But it warmed Li Yuan''s heart.


    "Muhua''s martial path talent is indeed much higher than Qian Qian''s," Li Yuan thought to himself. "And his perseverance is extremely strong too."


    The older they got, the more differences appeared between his brother and sister.


    Perhaps because Li Qianqian hadn''t awakened her Martial Spirit, she preferred studying culture classes.


    Whereas Li Muhua had extraordinary talent and was extremely diligent in his training.


    Due to their different experiences, Li Muhua lacked the ''madness'' of Li Yuan''s training days, but he had more steadiness and composure, with strong opinions and plans of his own.


    Li Yuan was more than happy to see this.


    "People become strong inside because of hardship, but hardship shouldn''t be glorified," Li Yuan mused to himself. "My frantic training back in the day was so that Qian Qian and Muhua could have more choices during their growth, and could face everything more calmly."


    "Whatever choices they make in the future, as long as they are positive, I''ll let them be,"


    "They have me as an older brother to fall back on," Li Yuan didn''t insist on his siblings achieving great things.


    ... S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He logged back onto the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    "Master, you were so quick this time," the intelligent girl, resembling a sprite, exclaimed excitedly.


    Li Yuan ignored her and clicked on the segment match screen:


    Segment Match: Sun Eclipse Stage.


    Points: 982 (1,000 points to participate in the promotion match)


    Segment Win Rate: 75%


    ...


    "With my spear technique basically solidified, and both my movement technique and spear technique at the Fifth Stage, I should be able to try for the Transcendent Stage now," Li Yuan thought calmly, yet with a hint of anticipation.


    Among the nine ranks of the Starry Skies Fighting Network, Bronze, Silver, and Gold usually consisted of ordinary people and First Rank Martial Artists.


    Fallen Star, Bright Moon, Sun Eclipse, were mostly Second Rank warriors, all considered masters.


    And reaching the Transcendent Stage requires Fifth Stage skills; looking around the world, those who achieved this rank were very few and far between, either outstanding geniuses or top grade Origin Martial Artists renowned in their own right.


    "Two segment matches."


    "Then it''s the promotion match," Li Yuan clicked to start the segment matching.


    ...


    This time, the matching process was exceptionally long, but Li Yuan was quite patient.


    Twelve minutes later, the two segment matches were over.


    Li Yuan easily won. The comprehensive breakthrough of his spear technique and movement technique allowed him to dominate other Sun Eclipse Stage masters, practically crushing them.


    "Participate in the Transcendent promotion match," Li Yuan declared standing on the platform.


    ...


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s consciousness vibrated slightly, followed by a change in the environment around him, and he found himself in a vast wasteland.


    "20-level Physical Quality? Origin Martial Artist?" Li Yuan immediately sensed the changes in his body.


    A never-before-felt strength of the flesh and the strands of pure Origin Power he could mobilize within his body.


    His entire body was covered by an Origin Power Battle Body, and he held an Origin Power Weapon in hand.


    This was the standard gear for human Origin Martial Artists.


    "Hiss~"


    "Hiss~" "Hiss~" The opponents he was to confront finally appeared, huge snakes with a pair of blood-colored wings growing on their bodies, surfaced on the wasteland.


    All nearly twenty meters in length, with their heads held high about four or five meters into the air, flicking their tongues, every one of them was a massive creature.


    "Blood Winged Snake Clan? All Second Rank?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised to see the small amount of black scales on the bodies of these large snakes.


    In the past.


    During a combat assessment at Kunlun Martial University, he had killed a Blood Winged Snake Clan member, but that one was only at level 14.


    When compared to the Second Rank Blood Winged Snake Clan, there was naturally a world of difference.


    "Haha, then let''s battle," Li Yuan suddenly laughed out loud, stimulating the Origin Power within his body.


    Boom!


    Like lightning, he sped forth, pouring Origin Power into his Long Spear, making its edge limitless.


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"


    The giant Blood Winged Snakes also charged towards Li Yuan, hissing as they went.


    ...


    The battle was fierce between Li Yuan and the dozen or so Blood Winged Snakes.


    His spear technique was sharp, every strike causing damage to the Blood Winged Snakes.


    But these snakes were also no easy foes, and purely in terms of physical quality, they were all superior to Li Yuan, with a clear numerical advantage.


    Often, just as Li Yuan seriously wounded one, he would be forced to retreat by the attacks of other Blood Winged Snakes.


    Finally, after more than 20 minutes of grueling combat, just before his Origin Power ran out, Li Yuan managed to kill all the Blood Winged Snakes, thanks to his advantage in movement technique.


    "Congratulations, Guardian ¡¤ Prime, you have passed the Transcendent promotion match. You''ve reached the Transcendent Stage," a system notification sounded in Li Yuan''s ears.


    Before Li Yuan could contemplate further.


    Whoosh!


    The surroundings changed, and his blood-stained Origin Power Battle Garment and weapon all disappeared. Li Yuan found himself in a bright space.


    "What is this?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    In front of him stood a woman in white.


    "Congratulations, Li Yuan, for becoming the first student among this year''s Blue Star freshmen to break through to the Transcendent Stage," the woman in white smiled and said.


    "The first?" Li Yuan revealed a slight smile. "Does that mean I''m the first in the world?"


    "Yeah."


    "You could say you''re the first of this cohort," the woman in white emphasized.


    "That''s enough," Li Yuan''s smile grew even brighter. "Dantai Feng, I''ve surpassed you."


    "Next time, it''ll be my turn to fulfill the promise to Big Zhuang and show off in front of you."

 Chapter 200: 166: The Arrival of the Aircraft (52,000 monthly votes bonus )

    Back then, at the freshman battle of the ten schools, Li Yuan wasn''t anxious about his defeat to Dantai Feng; he calmly accepted his loss.


    However, accepting defeat did not mean admitting defeat.


    Li Yuan too was unwilling to concede defeat in his heart and firmly believed that he would surpass the other in the future.


    Now, he had done it.


    "But to truly decide who is superior, we still have to wait for the virtual battle of the global university Martial Path competition at the end of February," Li Yuan thought to himself, his heart filled with anticipation.


    As he was pondering,


    "Li Yuan, in light of your achievements, the Seven Star Alliance will reward you with ''50 million'' Blue Star Coins," the woman in white said with a smile: "This is the highest and final reward from the Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "50 million Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    Quite a lot.


    "Does everyone who reaches the Transcendent Stage get them?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "If you reach the Transcendent Stage before the age of 20, you are awarded 50 million Blue Star Coins," the woman in white said: "If you reach it after the age of 20, the reward is 20 million Blue Star Coins."


    "Those who can reach the Transcendent Stage are all hopeful to become top-grade Origin Martial Artists in reality and will be an important combat force for human civilization," the woman in white explained: "It''s destined that they won''t lack this money."


    "This sum of money is more of an honorific encouragement," said the woman in white with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, muttering in his heart.


    Lacking? He was really in need of money.


    "Right." Li Yuan suddenly spoke up: "I have a question to ask."


    "Go ahead," the woman in white said.


    "In the entire Seven Star Alliance, are there other freshmen from the Seven Great Planets who also possess Fifth Stage Skills?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "The entire Alliance?" The woman in white showed a mysterious smile: "That''s confidential, and in principle, I shouldn''t disclose it to you."


    "But I can tell you this."


    "Yes!"


    ...


    After ending his conversation with the woman in white, Li Yuan left the Starry Skies Fighting Network and returned to his ''personal space'' in the virtual network.


    "Blue Star''s number one?"


    "I didn''t expect that, among the Seven Star Alliance''s freshmen, aside from myself, there are others with Fifth Stage Skills," Li Yuan reflected to himself, not feeling too surprised.


    Fang Hai had Fifth Stage Skills at 16 years old, let alone at 18 or 19 years old.


    But Li Yuan would not underestimate himself.


    Out of the Seven Great Planets of the Seven Star Alliance, Blue Star was not the strongest, but it was also not the weakest.


    Even among other planets'' freshmen, those with Fifth Stage Skills would not be numerous.


    "One step at a time."


    "Now, when I look at the younger generation of the entire human civilization, I should count myself among the first tier," Li Yuan thought with anticipation: "As long as I continue to move forward and surpass myself."


    "Sooner or later, I will surpass all my rivals and become the number one talent of human civilization."


    Lost in thought.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan received a notification that his bank account had been credited with 50 million Blue Star Coins.


    "That was quick."


    "It''s no wonder it''s a direct reward from the Seven Star Alliance," Li Yuan muttered to himself: "Legend has it that the Seven Star Alliance is jointly led by the three great Martial Halls, and Feixing and many other Star Realms are directly managed by the Alliance, possessing endless wealth." S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Why the Seven Star Alliance could suppress various countries.


    It''s because in the military, economy, martial strength, and all other aspects, they far surpass any single country, and naturally, they can unite the strength of the entire human civilization.


    "My wealth." Li Yuan tapped the light screen, starting to check his wealth column:


    Bank balance: 145.61 million Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 22.18 million


    Heavenly Materials Treasures: 15 units of Hundred Marrow Spiritual Dry, 15 units of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal


    ...


    "From October until now, what I have mainly consumed are Martial Hall Points, having bought a large number of High Origin Spirit Springs," Li Yuan thought to himself: "Used for cultivation."


    In fact, after Li Yuan awakened the Star Meridian and was able to practice the "All Heavens'' Stars," using the High Origin Spirit Spring for cultivation, the effect on enhancing his Physical Quality was very weak.


    The improvement was less than ten percent.


    Now, having achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, the use of High Origin Spirit Spring combined with the Hundred Marrow Spiritual Dry will further decrease.


    However, after much deliberation, Li Yuan still decided to continue as usual, mainly because he didn''t want to expose the secret that he had awakened the ''Star Meridian'' at the First Rank.


    "No rush."


    "Now that I have achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, in combination with ''All Heavens'' Stars,'' by the end of my freshman year, I''m certain to become a Prime Warrior," Li Yuan thought to himself: "I''m about to head to the Mingxu Star Realm, to venture through life and death challenges, striving to increase my Spiritual Awakening Level to 30%."


    Once his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 30%.


    Based on previous precedents, there should be another infusion of Origin Power.


    If Origin Power infused him again, Li Yuan''s Physical Quality and spiritual power would both surge by a large margin, and becoming a Prime Warrior would really not be far off.


    "The Mingxu Star Realm, I wonder what will be in store," a light flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    ...


    Starfire University, a student villa.


    Outside on the grass, the sun rose.


    "Stream of Light."


    "According to the teacher, if I want to step into the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, I need to comprehend the Second Layer meaning of ''Instant Stream of Light,''" Dantai Feng stood on the grass, silently pondering.


    "But how should I comprehend it?"


    "Unity of Heaven and Man, merging with the heavens and earth, how easy can it be?" Dantai Feng shook his head in distress.


    He had been stuck at the Subtlety of the mind for some time but had not yet made a breakthrough.


    Starfire University certainly valued him.


    The conditions for his cultivation were no less favorable than for Li Yuan, even better in some respects.


    But just because the external environment is favorable, it only means that there''s a greater chance of a breakthrough, not that it''s guaranteed.


    Suddenly.


    Ding~ Dantai Feng''s smart ring trembled violently, indicating that there was an important message, and he instinctively looked down.


    "Star Master command, confidential message, for now, only you may know: Li Yuan, on the Starry Skies Combat Network, has just broken through to the Transcendent Stage, and it is confirmed that he has achieved Unity of Heaven and Man." Dantai Feng stared at the message, and his whole person fell into a stupor.


    Unity of Heaven and Man?


    Li Yuan?


    He remembered that powerful opponent from the battle of the ten schools'' freshmen, who had a breakthrough during the fight.


    For a long while.


    "Damn impressive." Dantai Feng was somewhat dazed, muttering to himself, "This guy, I had guessed he might break through before me, but he actually surpassed me so quickly."


    "Damn it!!"


    "I haven''t even warmed up the seat of the world''s number one, and now I can''t show off in front of him." Dantai Feng muttered, then suddenly cracked a smile, "Heh, at least I won last time."


    He directly shut off his smart wrist device.


    He continued to ponder over his sword technique.


    To say that Dantai Feng''s mind was completely undisturbed would of course be false, but he was a man with an extremely broad mind and didn''t mind being surpassed by others too much.


    He enjoyed showing off in front of others.


    But he was more focused on becoming strong himself.


    ...


    Boom!


    A massive flying vehicle slowly touched down at Jiang City''s ''Tianhe Airport''.


    Sitting on his seat, Li Yang was about to get up and disembark when suddenly his smart wrist device trembled.


    Without thinking, he looked down and was immediately stunned.


    "What''s the matter?" Dean Xu stood up, looking toward Li Yang.


    "What we came here for, I can tell you now." Li Yang raised his head, his face already full of smiles, "Li Yuan just entered the Transcendent Stage, and it''s confirmed, he''s stepped into the Unity of Heaven and Man."


    "Fifth Stage, Unity of Heaven and Man?" Dean Xu''s pupils shrank slightly, incredulous.


    She immediately understood the purpose of her and Li Yang''s visit to Jiang City.


    "Let''s go."


    "Since we''re already here, let''s take a look at the first genius of our Kunlun Martial University in the past fifty years." Li Yang said with a smile, walking out of the flying vehicle.


    ...


    Around noon.


    Just after the family of Li Yuan finished eating, Li Yuan was about to accompany his uncle to go fishing.


    Suddenly, outside the villa, a flying vehicle rapidly descended from the sky.


    Still over thirty meters off the ground.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures directly flew down from the flying vehicle, gently landing on the grass outside the villa.


    This scene.


    Made Li Changzhou and his aunt Chen Hui all startle, jumping down directly from over thirty meters?


    Unscathed, what kind of strength was this?


    "Teacher, Dean Xu, Hall Master Fei?" Li Yuan looked at the three unexpected visitors, his heart shocked.


    He instantly guessed that it probably had something to do with him reaching the Transcendent Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    However.


    It was one thing for Hall Master Fei to come, but why would President Li and Dean Xu come so quickly?


    "Hall Master Fei?" Li Changzhou and Chen Hui didn''t recognize Li Yang and the others, but they recognized Hall Master Fei.


    And judging by the order of arrival of the three visitors.


    As the Hall Master of Jiang City, ''Fei Qian''s'' status seemed to be somewhat lower?


    "Li Yuan." Li Yang strode forward.


    "Teacher, Dean Xu, Grandpa Fei." Li Yuan stepped forward and bowed slightly in greeting.


    "Haha, Li Yuan, don''t worry about me, today the main visitors are President Li and the others, I''m just accompanying them." Fei Qian said with a chuckle.


    In terms of authority, he seemed to be higher than Li Yang and the others as the Hall Master of the provincial capital.


    But at their level of strength, personal power was valued more than worldly authority.


    Both Li Yang and Dean Xu were far more powerful than Fei Qian.


    "Li Yuan, find a quiet place, and we''ll talk slowly." Li Yang said with a smile.


    "Okay." Li Yuan nodded, "This way, please, Teacher."


    "You two must be Li Yuan''s uncle and aunt." Dean Xu smiled at Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, "You''ve raised a fine child."


    "Greetings to our senior." Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were both pleasantly surprised, realizing that the visitors held extremely high status.


    In ordinary days, with their status, they would hardly have a chance to see these figures.


    Now, they were speaking with such pleasantness, no doubt because of Li Yuan.


    ...


    Li Yuan led Li Yang to the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Activate the soundproofing." Li Yang directly said.


    "Yes, Teacher." Li Yuan nodded, a chill in his heart, is this much precaution necessary?


    Immediately, Li Yuan activated the soundproofing of the Martial Arts Room to avoid outside snooping.


    "We are aware of the Fish Spirit Tide incident in Jiang City, and you performed very well this time." Li Yang said, "This time your Unity of Heaven and Man has caused shock among the entire school''s upper echelons."


    "It''s said to have alarmed the President, who specifically ordered to seal many of your records."


    "The President?" Li Yuan''s heart flashed with curiosity, "Teacher, who is the President?"


    "The President?"


    "I only know his last name is Fang, but who he really is, I''m not sure." Li Yang shook his head, "Perhaps only the deans of the eight major colleges know."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, this mysterious?


    Surely Li Yang, as a vice dean, would be considered part of the upper echelons of the school, yet he didn''t even know the President''s name?


    "The President is a legendary figure, rumored to be a ''Star Master'' from the Seven Star Alliance." Li Yang said with a smile, "Maybe in the future, you''ll have a chance to meet the President."


    "Star Master?" Li Yuan puzzled.


    "Only those who have surpassed the Flying Heaven level, or those nearly invincible among the Flying Heaven level, can serve as the Alliance Star Master." Li Yang briefly explained.


    Which let Li Yuan know how fearsome a being the President was.


    "Alright, that''s not important."


    "There''s no need to test your strength this time." Li Yang flipped his hand, presenting a box, "The main purpose of coming here is to follow Dean Hai''s orders, to bring you a life-saving treasure before you go to the Ruins Star Realm."

 Chapter 201: 167: Geniuses Gather Like Clouds (54,000 Monthly Votes Plus Update)

    "A life-saving item?" Li Yuan looked at the box in President Li''s hand.


    At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary wooden box.


    Clang~ Li Yang opened the wooden box.


    Immediately, a strange fragrance wafted from the box, and a crystal clear, purple elixir appeared in front of Li Yuan.


    It was very small, only the size of a pinky finger, but the strange fragrance alone involuntarily stirred up the desire to swallow it.


    "Teacher, what is this?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but swallow his saliva.


    "Its official name is ''Prime Purple Life-Prolonging Elixir,'' implying that with it, it''s as if you have an extra life," Li Yang said as he looked at the elixir in the box, with a hint of emotion, "However, we Prime Warriors are used to calling it ''Life-Saving Pill.''"


    "Its efficacy is very simple."


    "Once you are gravely injured, even if your organs are shattered, as long as you consume it within a very short time, you''ll quickly recover," Li Yang said softly, "Of course, the head is a fatal weakness and cannot be harmed."


    "Aside from the head, everything else can be recovered, including the heart."


    "Even heart damage can be healed?" Li Yuan listened in amazement, looking at the purple elixir.


    What kind of medicine was this?


    "It has three flaws," Li Yang said, "The first is that its medicinal power is limited, it''s not much use to a Flying Heaven Warrior, and only works on those below that level."


    Li Yuan listened on.


    This was not surprising; if it were effective for Flying Heaven Warriors, it would definitely be a true divine elixir.


    "The second is scarcity; it''s extremely rare, many Prime Warriors may have never even heard of it," Li Yang looked at Li Yuan, "I''m not very clear on the method of its production, but it''s not for sale, and you''d have a hard time finding it through normal purchasing channels."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement, indeed, his access to information in the Starfire Martial Hall was not bad.


    But he had never heard of it.


    "The third, it heals injuries but cannot detoxify," Li Yang said seriously, "So, if you encounter some of the Alien Races with deadly poisons, you must be careful."


    "The Star Realm is vast, with many common poisons, and it''s easy to fall victim if one is not careful."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded, Poison?


    Teacher Xu Bo, he died because of the poisons in the Star Realm.


    Uncle Li Changzhou, too, almost died from the poisons of the Star Realm... In fact, every year a large number of ordinary people and Martial Artists die from poisoning in the Star Realm.


    It can''t be helped, with so many realms and contact with various Foreign Civilizations, there are myriad poisons, impossible to fully guard against. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Put it away," Li Yang said, "Remember, its fragrance is very special, easily detectable by the keen Perception Ability of a Prime Warrior, so it''s best to hide it in the ''Origin Power Battle Suit'' Inner Layer, to be completely sealed off."


    "When you need to use it, just bring it out from the Battle Garment with a thought," Li Yang explained the method of use to Li Yuan.


    "Yes." Li Yuan nodded, reaching into the box to take out the Prime Purple Life-Prolonging Elixir.


    Hum~


    A streak of black light seeped from Li Yuan''s palm, rolling up the Prime Purple Life-Prolonging Elixir like liquid, as it disappeared from sight.


    The fragrance that lingered in the air around rapidly dissipated.


    "Good," Li Yang nodded, "That''s the first matter, the second is about your advancement in skill to the Fifth Stage."


    "You too."


    "Last time, when your skill reached the High Rank of the Fourth Level, you didn''t inform me, your teacher, immediately, and this time is the same," Li Yang said with a hint of helplessness, "Do you look down on me, your teacher, that much? I always have to hear it from someone else."


    "Teacher, I''m sorry," Li Yuan immediately admitted his fault.


    But Li Yuan also felt helpless in his heart; each time he had just broken through.


    "Your quick advancement is not only beyond my expectations but probably exceeds everyone else''s predictions for you," Li Yang said with a laugh, "Just the speed of your progress from the Fourth to the Fifth Stage is a bit faster than Fang Hai''s was."


    "A bit faster?" Li Yuan paused.


    The time it took from his Fourth to Fifth Stage was less than half of Fang Hai''s.


    "You think I''m wrong?" Li Yang said with a smile, "Yes, in terms of time, you''re much faster, but you have to understand one thing, your Physical Quality has surpassed level 15, and your spiritual power has long been comparable to that of a Prime Warrior."


    "When Fang Hai broke through to the Fifth Stage, he was only 16 years old, and his Physical Quality was only level 8." Li Yang said with emotion, "He was not a talent with spiritual power."


    "Level 8?" Li Yuan understood Li Yang''s point.


    Comprehension, spiritual power, and temperament all complement each other.


    Temperament is the most difficult to understand, so let''s not talk about that for now.


    Comprehension is the most mysterious, related to a person''s soul essence, postnatal experiences, and many other aspects.


    But spiritual power can be quantified.


    An increase in spiritual power speeds up a person''s thought process, calculation ability, and Perception Ability, among others.


    Simply put, in Martial Arts Cultivation, spiritual power is a ''magnifier'' for a person''s talent for comprehension; it''s fundamental.


    If a person''s Physical Quality and spiritual power are both only at level 5, then, no matter how high his talent for comprehension might be, his skill cannot possibly reach the Fifth Stage.


    It''s like a great chef who can''t cook a feast without ingredients.


    Conversely, even if a person has low comprehension, but has a spiritual power of level 29, with gradual practice, advancing to the Fourth Stage wouldn''t be too difficult.


    Fang Hai, with a Physical Quality of level 8, must have had just average spiritual power, yet his skill reached the Fifth Stage.


    The height of his comprehension can be seen.


    That''s why he caused such a sensation back then.


    "Of course, your spiritual power is also your talent," Li Yang said with a smile, "Taking everything into account, the current you is already very close to Fang Hai back in the day."


    "Xia Country has listed you as a genius of the same level as Yu Jinghe."


    "Below the ranks of the Flying Heaven Warriors, you two are the most highly regarded by the upper echelons of Xia Country," Li Yang said with emotion.

 Chapter 202: 167: Geniuses Gather Like Clouds (54,000 Monthly Votes Plus Update)_2

    Li Yuan nodded slightly, which was already a high degree of recognition.


    "Yu Jinghe already possesses the strength of a Flying Heaven Warrior, enough to defend himself, and no one is targeting him," Li Yang said, "But you, although your strength is close to that of a Prime Warrior, it is still far from sufficient... You must know that within our human civilization, there are spies from alien races."


    "Alien spies?" Li Yuan''s heart tightened.


    He had heard teachers mention it in general education classes at school, but he had never seen one. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "These alien spies, one type is from alien races that have infiltrated us, after all, some foreign civilizations look very similar to humans in appearance, and some are even human," Li Yang said, "The other type is human traitors bought by alien races... due to the full surveillance of the virtual network, they rarely expose themselves, mostly just gathering information."


    "Some alien spies have not yet declared war on our human civilization and will not target you."


    "But a minority of alien races, wishing to destroy us quickly, such as the ''Alien Civilization'' behind the Rob Sea Star Realm, if their higher-ups learn of your talent, they would likely attempt an assassination at all costs," Li Yang said solemnly, "Previously, your value was at most equivalent to a top-grade Prime Warrior."


    "Therefore, even if they became aware of your existence, they would not target you easily, and the Starfire South Lake community where you live is considered safe."


    "But now, your status is barely comparable to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior," Li Yang remarked.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior? Li Yuan was surprised.


    This evaluation was astonishingly high.


    A genius is just a genius, while a Flying Heaven Warrior is a true powerhouse.


    It looks like his skill breakthrough to the Fifth Stage did indeed shake the higher-ups of Xia Country and the Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Currently, the only ones who know about your advancement to the Fifth Stage Skill within the school are just me, Dean Xu, Dean Hai, and the principal," Li Yang said, "Then there are a few high-level individuals in Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall who are aware, but your information has been archived."


    "Hmm, Dantai Feng might be informed as a way to motivate him," Li Yang said, "After all, he is also highly regarded by the higher-ups of Xia Country."


    "But people like Fei Qian, like other teachers from different departments of the school, do not know, so keep it to yourself for now."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded.


    All this must be to prevent a surprise attack from alien spies.


    "Teacher, until when should I keep this hidden?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "Not too long, just until the end of February," Li Yang said with a smile, "During the global university Martial Path tournament, it won''t matter if the information is exposed."


    "By then, staying within the school, you''ll be absolutely safe."


    "And with the pace of your cultivation, you will soon become a Prime Warrior," Li Yang said, "Once you''ve become a Prime Warrior, combined with your skills, your strength will increase significantly, making it difficult for alien races to assassinate you."


    "After all, it''s unlikely they would actually dispatch a Flying Heaven Level to assassinate you, the cost is too great."


    "Blue Star is after all a territory of our human civilization, and it is extremely difficult for alien races to conceal a Flying Heaven Level existence here, they will not expose themselves unless it is absolutely necessary," Li Yang said confidently.


    Li Yuan listened silently.


    From the teacher''s words, there were actually hidden Flying Heaven Level spies within human civilization?


    The mere thought was chilling.


    "With your level of skill, by the time of the global university Martial Path tournament in February, with a bit of luck, you might even make it into the top ten," Li Yang said with a smile.


    "Luck is needed to reach the top ten?" Li Yuan reflected on his teacher''s words.


    "What? Don''t agree?"


    Li Yang couldn''t help laughing: "If it were just about the global freshman battles, you would undoubtedly be the undisputed first, with even Dantai Feng no longer being your match."


    "But the virtual battle of the global university Martial Path tournament is open for all students from the first, second, and third years."


    "The students from the world''s three top martial arts schools may not have skills equal to yours."


    "But those sophomores and juniors who''ve been practicing for several more years, many are already Prime Warriors...


    The substantial foundation improvement gives them a much higher probability of entering the Fifth Stage," Li Yang said seriously, "At least, I know that in the third-year students of the top three martial arts schools, there are Martial Path geniuses with Fifth Stage Skill, and there''s more than one of them."


    "There''s also the possibility of second-year students having reached the Fifth Stage Skill."


    "All in all, there are usually more than a dozen of them."


    "Besides the three top martial arts schools, those regional Martial Arts Universities, although generally less talented, compensate with their vast numbers, occasionally producing outstanding geniuses as well," Li Yang said, "Even in our Kunlun Martial University, there is another Fifth Stage genius apart from you."


    "Senior Brother Jin?" Li Yuan realized who it was.


    "Yes, he broke through after the ten-school freshman competition," Li Yang nodded, "It took him more than two years to advance from Fourth Stage Skill to Fifth Stage Skill."


    "So."


    "In the global university Martial Path tournament''s virtual combat, there are usually around twenty students with Fifth Stage Skill, sometimes more, sometimes fewer."


    Li Yuan pondered with a thoughtful look.


    Guys like Guan Ying, Yu Ming, Garava, and others from his batch... in two years, when they become juniors, might very well be able to reach the Fifth Stage Skill.


    Dantai Feng? He had an extremely high chance to break through within the next one or two years.


    Time indeed possessed an astonishing magic power.


    "This big competition should be divided by age," Li Yuan couldn''t help but lament, "otherwise, it''s too unfair for freshmen."


    "Have you ever considered that this arrangement might be deliberate?" Li Yang smiled, "The whole point is to let each batch of so-called top talents face some hardship to temper their character."


    "Secondly, it''s also because the rewards of the global Martial Arts University competition are excellent... With just so many spots available, that''s why they combine everyone to hold the event," added Li Yang.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    "No matter about other people, if Dantai Feng can break through, then he might still have some hope," Li Yang said, "What''s important for you is to focus on yourself."


    "My expectation for you is to break into the top ten of the virtual battle."


    "There are two more months, which is plenty of time for you to make substantial progress," Li Yang smiled, "If you can break into the top ten, the rewards will exceed your expectations."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    Top ten?


    His main rivals were those Martial Path talents from global universities who had managed to break through to the Fifth Stage Skill.


    "Finally, regarding the Mingxu Star Realm."


    "The day after tomorrow, you''ll set off," said Li Yang, "The school has already arranged it; you should enter through gate number three."


    "You will spend a month in the life-and-death struggle."


    "A month later, return to the school as quickly as you can," Li Yang instructed, "During the struggle for survival, the school has already forged a new identity for you, and you just need to slightly disguise your appearance... so, if it comes to a critical moment, unleashing the Fifth Stage Skill is also fine."


    "I understand," Li Yuan nodded.


    Although he had gained some fame, it was mainly within Jiang City or at most within Jiangbei Province, and very few could recognize him immediately.


    Just like Li Yuan himself, who wouldn''t particularly pay attention to the appearances of those battle heroes.


    ...


    Before long, Li Yang and Dean Xu left.


    Li Yuan''s life returned to tranquility once more, and he spent the last two days with even more patience accompanying his uncle and aunt.


    Two days later.


    January 1st, 2044, Seven Stars calendar.


    Fully armed, Li Yuan bid farewell to his family.


    "Uncle, auntie, I''m going to Feixing for special training this time, and I won''t be able to contact Blue Star for a month," Li Yuan said with a smile, "When I return from Feixing, I''ll contact you again."


    That was the excuse Li Yuan had concocted.


    He didn''t want to cause his uncle and aunt concern.


    "A month with no contact? Isn''t that a bit long? Won''t it be dangerous?" Chen Hui''s face showed a trace of worry.


    "Go ahead, going to Feixing must be a rare opportunity, it''s a holy land for the cultivation of the entire human civilization," Li Changzhou said with a smile, "Don''t worry about home."


    ...


    Using the false identity ''Xu An'', Li Yuan rode on a specialized flying vehicle via the Starfire Martial Hall''s channel.


    He headed for the Mingxu Star Realm.


    "The Mingxu Star Realm has as many as four stable entrances and exits, and occasionally some unstable ones appear," Li Yuan read the information in his hand and was secretly shocked, "It''s actually similar to the Fish Spirit Star Realm."


    The Fish Spirit Star Realm had entrances and exits spanning hundreds of miles, which were unstable and often appeared deep underground, unpredictable and hard to defend against.


    Half a day later.


    Li Yuan arrived at ''Mingxu Star Realm Gate Number Three,'' located in Jiangnan Province.


    ¡ª¡ª


    PS: Brothers, I''ve been working hard to update! Begging for a monthly pass! Hold the ranks steady!!

 Chapter 203: 168: Mingxu Star Realm

    Jiangnan Province is the wealthiest province in Xia Country, and one of the wealthiest areas on Blue Star, flourishing beyond compare.


    However, that all pertains to the big cities, which have nothing to do with the third entrance of Mingxu Star Realm.


    The third entrance was built in the suburbs, with tens of kilometers around it designated as a military restricted area.


    Under normal circumstances, civil aircraft are not allowed to enter this area, as they could be shot down by an electromagnetic tower at any moment.


    Whoosh!


    It is drizzling from the sky today, yet a small aircraft is rapidly approaching that hundred-meter-tall War Fortress.


    "Martial Artist Xu An, Martial Artist Yang Zhu, we are almost at the third Mingxu Fortress," spoke a burly accompanying Martial Artist with a full beard in a low voice.


    "Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly, looking into the distance.


    This War Fortress covered a vast area; though nowhere near as large as ''Kunlun Fortress,'' it was like an enlarged stadium, resembling a gigantic beast sprawled across the vast land.


    With Li Yuan''s current level of access, he also roughly knew that if the entrance to the Star Realm weren''t fixed, it would be another matter.


    For those stable entrances to the Star Realms, human civilization almost always built War Fortresses as a precaution.


    "By passing through the War Fortress, we can enter Mingxu Star Realm," whispered a lean middle-aged Martial Artist beside him: "Of the four major entrances to Mingxu Star Realm, two are in our Xia Country, and the other two are in Africa Continent, which have little to do with us."


    Li Yuan glanced at the lean middle-aged Martial Artist, who was also preparing to enter Mingxu Star Realm¡ªStarfire Martial Hall Martial Artist named Yang Zhu.


    Physical Quality 18.4.


    Yang Zhu''s eyes revealed years of vicissitudes, and although he looked to be in his thirties or forties, he seemed to have gone through many experiences.


    Rumble~


    The aircraft slowly descended and hovered about ten meters above the ground.


    "This is as far as we go," the female pilot said with a smile. "Inside the War Fortress, there will be military personnel to guide you."


    "Thank you," they said.


    Li Yuan smiled, grabbed the long rectangular weapon case set aside, and leaped down.


    A mere ten meters or so.


    With Li Yuan''s current skill and physical quality, even if he jumped from a height of thirty or forty meters, as long as he used the Unloading Force technique a little, he wouldn''t suffer the slightest injury.


    Yang Zhu, with his combat saber and shield on his back, also silently jumped down.


    Rumble~


    The aircraft rapidly ascended, heading toward the district shrouded in the misty rain at the edge of the horizon.


    "Chief, who are those two that we had to personally deliver?" the female pilot couldn''t help asking. "Do they have some kind of background?"


    "I''m not sure," the bearded accompanying Martial Artist shook his head. "It should be that Xu An fellow; he is an L6-level Martial Hall member."


    "L6-level? That''s usually for high-level Prime Warriors, right? So formidable? Could he be the illegitimate son of a Flying Heaven Warrior?" the female pilot was astonished.


    "Don''t ask too much, there are things you can''t handle," the bearded burly man said. "Just focus on flying your aircraft."


    ...


    Carrying their weapon cases, LI Yuan and Yang Zhu, following the path indicated by two soldiers, entered a waiting hall.


    "Martial Artists."


    "The trains to the Star Realm carry ten people per trip," said the soldier with a smile. "The last one just left, so you''ll have to wait a bit."


    "We''ll set off as soon as we gather ten people."


    "Over here, we have all kinds of free snacks and drinks prepared; please help yourselves, both of you," the soldier said with a smile.


    "Sure." Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hmm." Li Yuan and Yang Zhu, one of them had already surveyed all sorts of data and regulations, the other clearly a ''Starfield Veteran,'' didn''t ask further.


    They waited quietly.


    "Xu An, want some alcohol?" Yang Zhu looked at Xu An.


    "No need." Li Yuan replied indifferently.


    Yang Zhu nodded, took a cup of wine and a cup of water from a nearby counter, and handed the water to Li Yuan.


    "Thank you," Li Yuan accepted without refusal.


    "Are you a student at Martial Arts University?" Yang Zhu sat down and looked at Li Yuan.


    "Does it seem so?" Li Yuan smiled lightly; his facial features had been subtly adjusted.


    Modern means of doing so were plentiful.


    Besides, being not so famous, it was unlikely for many to recognize him.


    "It''s not about the resemblance, but your youth."


    Yang Zhu smiled and said, "Entering Star Realm for adventure requires at least level 15, most wouldn''t be so young... Also, today is January 1st, and as per tradition, many elite students from Martial Arts University will start heading to various Star Realms for life and death trials after their vacation ends."


    "So, I deduced that you are from Martial Arts University."


    Li Yuan was momentarily speechless, realizing his cover was blown in such a way.


    Never underestimate anyone''s power of observation.


    "But with the way you move, always ready for combat at a moment''s notice, you must have been through quite a few life-and-death battles," Yang Zhu said with a smile. "You must be an upperclassman in your fourth or fifth year."


    "Yang Big Brother is really accurate," Li Yuan chuckled.


    Always combat-ready? When skill reaches a high enough level, one can enter this state whenever willing.


    But the insight Yang Zhu possessed spoke volumes in itself.


    "Mingxu Star Realm has been unstable lately; are you here for a guard mission or combat mission?" Li Yuan took the initiative to ask.


    The best way to avoid further questions is to ask in return.


    "Probably a combat mission," Yang Zhu smiled. "Guard missions are less interesting, what about you?"


    "I''ll follow orders," Li Yuan kept it vague.


    Suddenly,


    "Hmm? A female Martial Artist arrived, young and attractive," Yang Zhu''s eyes lit up.


    "Oh?" Li Yuan also saw the newcomer, his eyes brightening.


    "Yang Big Brother."


    "Do you believe that I can add her on V-Chat right now?" Li Yuan grinned.


    "You? Don''t believe it," Yang Zhu shook his head with a smile.


    "Watch me," Li Yuan said with a smile and directly got up to approach the female Martial Artist who had just completed her identity verification.


    Upon turning her head and seeing Li Yuan, the female Martial Artist''s eyes lit up instantly.


    She recognized Li Yuan.


    "Hello, my name is Xu An; can I add you on V-Chat?" Li Yuan smiled.


    The female Martial Artist was initially startled, but upon noticing ''Yang Zhu'' in the distance, she quickly understood and chuckled, "Hello, I''m Shi Xiao."


    ...


    The sudden appearance of Senior Shi Xiao was completely beyond Li Yuan''s expectations, and to prevent her from calling out his real name,


    He took it upon himself to ''hit on'' her.


    Shi Xiao was very clever, reacting within a second to realize Li Yuan was hiding his true identity.


    "Xu Brother, impressive," Yang Zhu said with a smile, "This world really does judge by appearance."


    Li Yuan smiled without replying.


    As time passed, more and more warriors began to gather in the waiting hall.


    But suddenly.


    "Clang~" The metal entrance to the hallway opened, and two medical carts were quickly pushed out, with two men covered in blood lying on them.


    One of the men had both arms broken, the flesh a bloody blur.


    From their attire, they were most likely warriors.


    "Hurry."


    "Excuse us, make way!" Several medical personnel shouted, pushing the carts as they rushed toward the exterior of the war fortress.


    Li Yuan, Shi Xiao, and the others instinctively looked through the window to the outside.


    Outside the war fortress, a small aircraft was slowly descending.


    This scene.


    Caused the previously talkative nine warriors in the waiting hall to fall silent, a shadow falling over their hearts.


    The death rate for those venturing into the Star Realm was astonishingly high.


    "It seems that the situation in Mingxu Star Realm is not optimistic," Yang Zhu sighed softly, "There''s a high probability that direct conflicts have erupted with local forces."


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao exchanged glances.


    A conflict?


    Why had they come to the Mingxu Star Realm if not to engage in life-and-death battles?


    "They''re here."


    "We''ve gathered ten warriors, set out! Set out!" the guard soldier shouted loudly.


    ...


    "Clang~" The train slowly started, with the ten warriors dispersed and sitting in different parts of the carriage.


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao, as schoolmates from the same academy and both under Li Yang, naturally trusted each other more.


    It went without saying that they sat next to each other.


    Hum~ Screens projected light appeared simultaneously on the front, back, and two side walls of the carriage.


    In the projection, the figure of a burly officer appeared, his expression stern.


    "Respected warriors, first of all, thank you for volunteering to enter the Star Realm and contributing to human civilization," the burly officer spoke solemnly, "We are about to reach the First Level Star Realm ''Mingxu Star Realm.''


    "Mingxu Star Realm is vast. The largest known diameter of our explored range has already exceeded 60,000 kilometers... and that''s still far from the limit of the Mingxu Star Realm."


    "In the Star Realm, apart from our human civilization, there are two known foreign civilizations that can enter through the passage, namely ''Tianliang Civilization'' and ''Lin Mo Civilization.''


    "Tianliang Civilization is a humanoid civilization. They look extremely similar to humans, but their genetic sequencing is quite different. There are also fundamental differences in their aura... As they look similar, one must be vigilant against Tianliang Civilization impostors within the Star Realm."


    "Lin Mo Civilization, on the other hand, is a beast-like civilization..."


    "The most powerful force within the Mingxu Star Realm are the ''local forces'' of the Star Realm. Although the origin of a First Level Star Realm is not very strong, due to the vast territory, they still compete and fight against each other, nurturing quite a few Flying Heaven Level beings. Each one of them is a ruler of the Mingxu Star Realm and must not be provoked."


    "Throughout the Mingxu Star Realm, there are also many Second Rank creatures lurking. They occupy many territories rich in life force, spiritual soil veins, Heavenly Materials Treasures... these are the true opponents our human civilization has come to battle."


    "Remember."


    "To enter and exit a First Level Star Realm, one must be below the Life Level of 20. Practice moderation in your cultivation within the Star Realm... Once your Life Level reaches 20 and you become a Prime Warrior, you will have to stay in the Mingxu Star Realm forever."


    "Next, are the details about Base Three..." the burly officer continued to introduce many aspects of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    All the warriors listened quietly.


    Even though Li Yuan already knew much of this information, he didn''t mind listening to it again.


    Suddenly, boom~


    An invisible pressure instantly enveloped all the warriors in the carriage, almost all of them changing color, and Shi Xiao was no exception.


    "The portal between two realms," Li Yuan clearly understood this to be the collision of space between the Star Realm and the Blue Star, creating an extremely special oppressive force.


    It was this unique force that prevented Second Rank lives from crossing the barrier.


    However, this force''s oppression meant nothing to Li Yuan, who had reached the Fifth Stage in his skills.


    With his skill and spiritual power, he easily resisted it.


    ...


    The strange oppression came quickly and left just as fast, and many in the carriage gradually returned to normal.


    Li... Xu An, you didn''t feel it at all?" Shi Xiao couldn''t help but ask.


    "I can endure," replied Li Yuan with a smile.


    Shortly after, the carriage slowly came to a halt and the doors opened, allowing the sunlight to pour in directly.


    "We''ve arrived."


    "Mingxu Star Realm." The group of people walked out of the carriage onto the metal plaza outside.


    There were quite a few soldiers around the plaza, and everyone immediately saw the huge war fortress a few hundred meters tall not far away.


    And far in the distance, at the end of the horizon, there was a mountain range stretching across the edge of the world like a curtain in the sky.


    "Is that Ming Mountain?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Yes."


    Standing beside Li Yuan, Yang Zhu also saw the mountain at the end of the world and said softly, "According to the information, it should be more than 20,000 kilometers away from us... Its height must exceed 1,000 kilometers. It''s the highest mountain in the Mingxu Star Realm. Legends say more than one Flying Heaven beast inhabits it...


    The Star Realm is full of mysteries, anything can happen, anything can be born, such a mountain should not exist on the Blue Star."


    Many veteran warriors were not there for the first time and were quite indifferent, but Li Yuan and Shi Xiao were somewhat amazed.


    This was a natural wonder not seen on the Blue Star.


    "Xu An, Shi Xiao."


    A warrior officer approached them from not far away and spoke solemnly, "The two of you, please follow me."


    The other warriors looked over, curious about the situation.


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao exchanged a glance and obediently followed the officer into the war fortress nearby.


    Taking the elevator.


    Eventually, the two followed the warrior officer into a large office.


    A blue-robed elder was standing in front of a massive map projection, deep in thought.


    The map projection showed continuous mountain ranges, giant rivers, and many huge red dots marked on it...


    "Commander, the people have been brought here," the warrior officer said quietly.


    "Oh? You can leave now," the blue-robed elder seemed to have just noticed them, turning his head to look at Li Yuan and Shi Xiao. After the guiding officer left, he then revealed a smile, "Li Yuan, Shi Xiao, hello."


    "Senior, hello," Li Yuan and Shi Xiao said in unison.


    Li Yuan''s heart was filled with shock.


    Because, in his Divine Palace''s investigation, the elder''s Life Level was 24.


    A Prime Warrior!


    But since Mingxu Star Realm was a First Level Star Realm, shouldn''t becoming a Prime Warrior mean one could no longer return to the Blue Star?

 Chapter 204: 169: Thirty Years in One Town

    "You applied for the trial adventure here, so your school has sent me your information," the elder in blue smiled.


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao suddenly understood.


    This was normal.


    "My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Jing. I am the chief officer of the third base," the elder in blue said, "As elite students from Kunlun Martial University, you are different from ordinary martial artists who come here for adventure. We will place more importance on you."


    "Senior Liu," Li Yuan and Shi Xiao immediately changed their address.


    As the chief officer of a war base in the Star Realm, the authority of the elder in blue was absolutely astonishing.


    And the independence of a war base here was certain to be extremely high.


    In a place where life and death were battled out on someone else''s territory, it was natural to show respect.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had vaguely guessed the reason for the other party being a ''Prime Warrior'' and couldn''t help but feel a hint of admiration in his heart.


    "Since this is your first time here, there are some things I need to make clear to you in advance," the elder in blue said, "Firstly, our human civilization has four main outpost bases in the Mingxu Star Realm, with both the first and the second being thousands of kilometers away from us, too far to rely on."


    "Are the first and second entry point bases in the Africa Continent?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    The four entry points into the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Two in the Africa Continent and two in Xia Country.


    "Correct," Liu Jing nodded, "Our third and fourth bases are relatively close to each other, but they are still over two thousand kilometers apart... Usually, contact between them is made through the Blue Star."


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao were stunned.


    Two thousand kilometers, in the perilous and exotic-beast-filled Mingxu Star Realm, was very distant indeed.


    "So, if our third base wants to survive, we essentially have to rely on ourselves," the elder in blue, Liu Jing, said looking at them. "The base''s main tasks are, first, to constantly kill the Entry Rank alien species nearby, continually expanding our living space. This is the combat mission."


    "Second is the search for various resources, such as Heavenly Materials Treasures, veins of minerals, and suitable Earth of Spiritual Nature. This is the resource exploration task."


    "Third is the defense mission. Over decades, the region within three hundred kilometers of the base has become our territory. We have opened up many resource spots, but we still suffer occasional attacks from the alien species, so we need warriors to guard," the elder in blue continued, looking at them. "Which mission do you want to participate in?"


    Ordinary martial artists wouldn''t have a choice.


    "Combat mission," Li Yuan and Shi Xiao said in unison.


    "Alright." S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Liu Jing smiled faintly, "I''ll arrange for you two to join a squad of martial artists, to find you a team that''s strong enough."


    "With more people in a team working together, the chances of survival will be much greater."


    "Alright," Shi Xiao nodded. It wasn''t her first adventure in the Star Realm.


    She had some experience.


    "Senior Liu, can I venture alone?" Li Yuan suddenly asked. "I remember you can apply to form a team on your own."


    Before Liu Jing could reply, Shi Xiao exclaimed, "Are you crazy, Li Yuan? Is this your first time venturing into the Star Realm? How high can your Physical Quality be?"


    In her memory, Li Yuan''s true strength shouldn''t even match her own.


    And without experience.


    "Forming a team on your own? According to the rules, only Eighteenth Rank martial artists are allowed to venture alone," the elder in blue, Liu Jing, said, eyes narrowing slightly and smiling, "Your information indicates that your power is comparable to a Nineteenth Rank martial artist, so you do qualify."


    "Comparable to a Nineteenth Rank martial artist?" Shi Xiao was shocked.


    "It seems this young girl is still in the dark," Liu Jing chuckled, "Li Yuan, you performed well in the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City and even received a First Rank Silver Quality Medal. That''s really quite impressive."


    "A First Rank Silver Quality Medal?" Shi Xiao''s mouth formed an ''O'' shape.


    She wasn''t naive; she knew full well how difficult it was to receive such a medal.


    She was aware of the Fish Spirit Tide that had erupted in Jiang City.


    But she was not aware of Li Yuan''s deeds, as she wouldn''t go out of her way to pay attention to the commendation ceremonies.


    "Li Yuan, you''re quite strong, but strength and experience are two different things. Are you sure you don''t want an older person to guide you?" Liu Jing asked.


    "No need," Li Yuan shook his head.


    Considering his strength, he was almost a Prime Warrior... A normal squad of martial artists would only hold him back.


    Besides, if he wanted to quickly increase his Spiritual Awakening Level, he had to kill a large number of alien species, and it would be better to be alone.


    "Alright, the path is yours to choose, and I won''t force you. You can venture on your own," Liu Jing said. "Shi Xiao, what about you? Do you also want to venture alone?"


    "No." Shi Xiao shook her head quickly. "Please arrange a squad of martial artists for me, senior."


    With Physical Quality surpassing the Seventeenth Rank, and Fourth Level technique prowess, Shi Xiao''s frontal combat strength was also approaching that of a Nineteenth Rank martial artist.


    However, she didn''t possess Li Yuan''s confidence.


    "Very well, you''ll receive information soon," Liu Jing said. "Before you go and fight for life and death with the alien species, remember three things. First, be sure to avoid Second Rank alien species."


    "Second, do not readily use thermal weapons."


    "Third, within a thousand kilometers of the war base, if you call for help, we can know immediately. Beyond a thousand kilometers... the signal becomes very bad."


    "Understood," Li Yuan and Shi Xiao said solemnly.


    They both roughly knew the reasons for these warnings from Liu Jing. In the Mingxu Star Realm, human civilization was merely a small force... They were all about low-profile development and cautious advancement.


    Each war base operated only a few hundred kilometers around it.


    Indeed, thermal weapons can cause massive casualties among the alien species.


    Even Second Rank exotic beasts would fall victim to an onslaught of thermal weapons.


    But who are the real overlords of the entire Mingxu Star Realm? Not those Second Rank exotic beasts, but the Flying Heaven Level beings!


    If the Flying Heaven Level entities harbored hostility, it could spell disaster for the human civilization''s outpost bases.


    Similar incidents have been commonplace in the history of human exploration of the many star realms.


    "Commander," the door opened, and the officer from before walked in.


    "Arrange for Wu Qiong and their squad to take in Shi Xiao," Liu Jing instructed. "She''s been clamoring for a strong member, so I''ll give her one."


    "Yes," the officer nodded. "Martial Artist Shi Xiao, follow me."


    "Xu An, keep in touch with me, okay?" Shi Xiao winked. She guessed that Li Yuan had his own cultivation plans and did not insist on staying with him.


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded with a smile.


    ...


    The two people left, and the door was closed again.


    Only Li Yuan and Liu Jing remained inside the door.


    "Don''t worry, your detailed information is known only to me," Liu Jing said with a slight smile. "How is your teacher Li Yang?"


    "Do you know Teacher Li?" Li Yuan asked in surprise.


    "We were students of the same year at Kunlun Martial University. Back then, we had a rather good relationship," Liu Jing said with a smile. "It''s just a pity that it''s been more than thirty years since we last met."


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly. More than thirty years?


    The more he saw, the more Li Yuan could feel the influence of Kunlun Martial University on Xia Country. Everywhere he looked, many of the Prime Warriors in Xia Country had come out of Kunlun Martial University.


    "As per your teacher''s instructions."


    "I''m going to score your life-and-death adventure," Liu Jing said with a smile. "So, during your solo adventure, if you kill an Alien Race, you must take an emblematic item from their bodies as proof. Do you understand?"


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    The Mingxu Star Realm was not like the Combat Assessment, without the omnidirectional surveillance.


    Everything had to be done on one''s own.


    "Shi Xiao joined a team of Martial Artists; she has teammates to help her, so there is no need for me to say more. Since you are venturing on your own, I will give you a few more pieces of advice," Liu Jing said.


    "During your adventure, in addition to being wary of those Exotic Beasts, you need to be cautious of two situations," Liu Jing said seriously. "First are the lifeforms of the Tianliang Civilization. They look similar to us humans, and their activity areas are adjacent to our Base Three."


    "According to the Inquiry, one of their star realm''s entrances and exits is less than two thousand kilometers away from us."


    "That close?" Li Yuan expressed his surprise.


    Less than two thousand kilometers meant that it was indeed possible for the strong from both sides to encounter each other during exploration and adventure.


    "Yes, very close," Liu Jing said. "Besides that, pay attention to other human Martial Artists."


    "Other human Martial Artists?" Li Yuan''s pupils shrank.


    Internal conflict?


    "People have selfish desires. If two teams of Martial Artists discover an astonishingly valuable Heavenly Materials Treasure at the same time, how should it be divided?" Liu Jing said indifferently.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    "If one side gives in, it''s fine, but if both sides want it, there''s bound to be conflict," Liu Jing said. "On Blue Star, within the War Fortress, there are legal systems in place that forbid internal strife."


    "But faced with the temptation of treasures, do not test human nature."


    "Beyond 300 kilometers from the War Fortress... if human Martial Artists kill each other, we will not intervene."


    "So, against other human Martial Artists, you must keep your guard up," Liu Jing said.


    "Thank you for the reminder, senior," Li Yuan said.


    Liu Jing was so thoroughly transparent in his advice; it was no doubt genuine care.


    "Go."


    ...


    He watched Li Yuan leave.


    "I am slowly getting older," Liu Jing thought to himself with a sigh. "It''s been more than thirty years."


    As a Prime Warrior, he could live much longer, but his heart was already weary.


    Wishing to return to his hometown but unable to do so.


    This life would continue indefinitely.


    ...


    After leaving Liu Jing''s office.


    Another Martial Artist officer came to receive Li Yuan.


    His main role was to introduce Li Yuan to the environment within a 500-kilometer radius of the War Fortress, such as where Second Rank Alien Races were and where a large number of Alien Races congregated.


    The resource points (crops, minerals) of human civilization, the precise locations of observation points.


    Even the main activities of other Martial Artist teams were detailed.


    These were all things that wouldn''t be written in the Starfire Martial Hall''s databank.


    With Li Yuan''s current spiritual power, although he could not yet remember everything he saw, he was able to quickly jot down the gist.


    Finally.


    "How many years has Senior Liu been here?" Li Yuan asked a question that was on his mind.


    "The chief?" The Martial Artist officer was startled momentarily and then smiled. "It''s said to be more than thirty years."


    "He is the first commanding officer of Base Three, having volunteered to stay here. It''s said he used to be a 25th Level Prime Warrior, but later his strength suffered a lot due to an injury."


    "Several other Prime Warriors inside the base are also volunteers who chose to remain here."


    "Only with Prime Warriors, and with the War Fortress as the final defense, can our human civilization barely stand firm in the Mingxu Star Realm," the Martialist sighed. "It is the reason why many Alien Race forces around us default to recognizing the several hundred kilometers as our sphere of influence."


    "However."


    "Unlike us First Rank Martial Artists who still have holidays and rotations, and can eventually return to our country... the Prime Warriors will have to stay here for the rest of their lives."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling an unspoken empathy in his heart.


    Within human civilization, there were always those who made quiet sacrifices.


    ...


    There was no night in the Mingxu Star Realm, as the sky was always interwoven with two suns.


    Therefore, on the day he arrived at the Mingxu Star Realm.


    At six in the evening by Blue Star''s time, after getting everything ready, Li Yuan left Base Three on his own.


    He embarked on his first Star Realm adventure.

 Chapter 205: 170: Going Solo (56,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)

    Boom~


    Riding in a low-altitude flying vehicle, Li Yuan quickly left the war fortress 100 kilometers away, crossing over mountain ranges and rivers.


    Within a hundred kilometers of the war fortress, there were still traces of human activity.


    Beyond a hundred kilometers, the roads gradually disappeared, the trees became taller, and the mountain ranges undulated, slowly turning into a primitive forest.


    "Martial Artist Xu An, we can only take you this far," the pilot said with a smile. "If we go any further, we might encounter flying alien races."


    "Okay, thank you," Li Yuan nodded and smiled in response.


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, indigenous alien races capable of cultivating and absorbing Origin Power were mostly beastly, with a few humanoid, each race being strange and varied... Precisely for this reason, they fought fiercely with one another, so as not to deal with human civilization.


    Second Rank alien races, their wisdom was mostly on par with humans.


    In the eyes of most indigenous alien races, the several hundred kilometers surrounding the human civilization''s outpost were territories occupied by another distinctive species.


    Therefore, unless they wanted to provoke a war, other Second Rank alien races would not easily invade the ''hundred kilometer'' range of the outpost.


    As for First Rank alien races?


    They were not that intelligent, but after decades of being slaughtered and cleared out, they too knew that these areas were dominated by an extremely powerful force not to be trifled with.


    "Huh!"


    Holding a long spear in his hand, carrying a combat saber on his back, and wearing a full set of battle garment and combat armor, Li Yuan descended from the tens of meters high in the sky and landed on the ground.


    The jungle was not too dense.


    He watched as the flying vehicle quickly departed.


    "From now on, I''ll have to rely on walking," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "Based on previous experience, if I want to quickly increase my Spiritual Awakening Level..."


    "Then, the stronger the alien race I kill, the more Spiritual Nature nourishment I get."


    "I''d better leave the war base 300 kilometers behind as soon as possible."


    Within 100 kilometers of the base, alien races were almost extinct; within 300 kilometers of the base, alien races of Entry Rank were rare, having been slaughtered and cleared out repeatedly by Martial Artist squads.


    Underneath the orbit of two suns, the earth did not seem scorchingly hot.


    "200 kilometers, I should be able to reach it within 3 hours," Li Yuan moved and covered dozens of meters with each step.


    Ten-meter-high cliffs? Ten-meter-wide rivers were merely a light leap away for him.


    Maintaining a travel speed of twenty to thirty meters per second was no more than a walk in the park for Li Yuan now.


    "Unity of Heaven and Man."


    As Li Yuan traveled, he also pondered and grasped the mystery of Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Perceiving the natural way of the world.


    Practicing with a spear, standing, sitting, lying down, walking... all could be used to gain insight.


    After traveling more than ten kilometers.


    Suddenly, within a pile of dilapidated dry grass, several shadows flashed abruptly, and the air exploded with a bang, rushing towards Li Yuan, who was on the move.


    "Swoosh!"


    These shadows were fast, but Li Yuan''s spear in hand was faster, with just one thrust sweeping the vast sky.


    "Pfft!" "Plop!" "Plop!" Drops of blood spattered as the bodies of six snake-like alien creatures were torn apart and fell to the ground.


    "Blood Winged Snake Clan?" Li Yuan glanced over.


    These six alien creatures, though similar in appearance to the Blood Winged Snake Clan, had smaller and shorter wings that were only good for gliding.


    "Life Level not even reaching the Tenth Level, and they dare attack me?" Li Yuan shook his head.


    He didn''t bother to cut off any parts from their bodies, as it was pointless.


    The roads of Mingxu Star Realm were more difficult to traverse than Li Yuan had anticipated; those high mountains appeared to be just one or two kilometers away in a straight line, but crossing them was extremely time-consuming.


    Some canyons and large rivers were also difficult to cross.


    However, with Li Yuan''s strength, after nearly four hours, he still stepped out of the range of human civilization''s activities and truly entered The Wilderness.


    And this journey also made Li Yuan understand the true meaning of ''High Origin Environment.''


    On this 200-kilometer journey, more than 100 members of the Alien Race died at Li Yuan''s hands.


    Most were Unranked.


    Most had taken the initiative to ambush Li Yuan.


    "Rich in Origin Power, these Star Realm Creatures don''t need to eat much to be affected by the Origin Power, allowing them to grow and reproduce extremely rapidly," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    He had read quite a few records.


    Compared to many Star Realm beings, humans have a much slower growth and reproduction rate.


    The greatest advantage of human Martial Artists lies in their Comprehension.


    "Star Realm Creatures might reach Entry Rank as adults, but often tens or even hundreds of thousands of them struggle to produce even a single Second Rank powerhouse," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Among human Martial Artists, it usually takes only a few hundred First Rank warriors to produce a Second Rank powerhouse."


    Humans, lacking powerful bloodline support, yet possess an astonishingly strong level of Comprehension.


    At least,


    Among the many Foreign Civilizations that human civilization has come into contact with, almost none surpass humans in Comprehension.


    ...


    Walking through The Wilderness.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly stopped. His powerful spiritual power, paired with his body, had faintly sensed that hundreds of meters away, a large group of formidable Alien Race lives was gathering.


    "Finally."


    "I''ve encountered some interesting opponents," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    Boom!


    With a leap, the rocks beneath Li Yuan''s feet shattered. He stomped on a large tree next to him, using it to jump even higher, and as he did so, the tree collapsed with a roar.


    The battle erupted!


    ...


    "Roar!" "Howl!" "Howl!" A large group of beings, like jackals and wolves from the Alien Race, roared as they turned into streaks of light charging at Li Yuan.


    They were all Entry Rank creatures.


    As the dominant clan in this area, facing Li Yuan, an Alien Race life form that challenged them, they naturally would not shrink back.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan wielded his Long Spear in his hand. The spear shadows shifted, resembling a rolling star, vast and magnificent, with impressive might.


    Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Blood splattered as one Alien Race being after another fell to the ground, their bodies slamming into boulders due to inertia,


    or crashing into the ground, or colliding with large trees.


    "No good."


    "These Alien Race creatures are still too weak, mostly only levels 12 or 13, with few even at level 14," Li Yuan shook his head slightly: "I don''t even need to use Origin Power to easily crush them."


    "There''s no tempering effect."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure changed immediately, instantly suppressing his strength and speed to the standard of level 11.


    Immediately,


    Li Yuan felt the pressure, as if any one of those Alien Race beings could attack him at any moment.


    "The spear flows like stars," Li Yuan fully immersed himself in his Spear Technique, battling with these Aliens.


    For Li Yuan, venturing in the Star Realm was partly to raise his Spiritual Awakening Level.


    The most important thing,


    was to engage in life-and-death battles with numerous alien races, tempering the spirit and exercising courage in the midst of survival... comprehending the mysteries of nature in The Wilderness.


    Eventually,


    after Li Yuan killed over sixty wolf-like alien creatures, the other dozens finally couldn''t hold on any longer and fled amidst howls.


    Li Yuan didn''t pursue them deliberately.


    "So many kills."


    "The level of Spiritual Awakening hasn''t increased even 0.1%?" Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel and muttered to himself, "Or are these aliens too weak to obtain spiritual nourishment from their bodies?"


    After a quick calculation, Li Yuan understood that raising the Spiritual Awakening Level from 25.4% to 30% was going to be a long and arduous process.


    He didn''t bother to cut up the bodies of these aliens.


    Just by uploading the combat video, Li Yuan continued on his way.


    The so-called ''proof of kill materials'' was something to worry about after leaving the War Fortress by 1000 kilometers.


    Before that, as long as Li Yuan didn''t care, he could choose to upload combat videos.


    To reduce the burden.


    ...


    "Too slow! Speed it up," Li Yuan roared, battling fiercely with many feathered, humanoid life forms before him.


    These humanoids had extraordinarily strong limbs that were as sharp as weapons.


    Facing the long spear in Li Yuan''s hands,


    these humanoid life forms fell one after another, their blood spilling onto the ground.


    "[You have successively slain Entry Rank creatures and obtained spiritual nourishment, with your Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 25.8%]" a flash of prompt from the Divine Palace appeared.


    ...


    Time passed, day by day.


    Li Yuan was constantly fighting his way through The Wilderness.


    He gradually adapted to this environment.


    Hungry? He ate some beast flesh, then cultivated the ''All Heavens'' Stars'' scripture, nourishing his body with Origin Power, basically not needing to eat much.


    Thirsty? He drank directly from the mountain springs.


    Tired? Then he would cultivate the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'', which not only strengthened his spiritual power but also eliminated fatigue.


    Li Yuan didn''t need to return to a fixed observation post or camp to rest.


    The rest of his time,


    he was either battling with alien life forms or on the move seeking them.


    Or occasionally, when he gained insights from observing the world, he would stop to quietly practice his spear technique, then continue on with his journey and battle.


    Such a training efficiency was nothing short of astonishing.


    With the alien life forms he slew growing more numerous and more powerful, including creatures of the 17th and 18th levels,


    Li Yuan''s level of Spiritual Awakening, albeit hard to raise, was skyrocketing thanks to the mass slaughter of aliens.


    A quantitative change led to a qualitative change, from the initial 25.4% gradually breaking through to 26%, 26.5%...


    Li Yuan''s Spear Technique and Physical Quality were continuously improving as if there were no bottlenecks.


    ...


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, on the ninth floor of the main office at Outpost Base Number Three,


    "Commander."


    "In these past ten days, apart from that Martial Artist who died in battle, the majority of the teams that are registered at the base and went out to brave the wilderness have records of resting at the observation points," a tall and thin Martial Officer reported solemnly, "But Xu An has no such record. Over these ten days, it''s as if he vanished into thin air."


    "No record of him? He didn''t return to an observation post?" Liu Jing inquired.


    "No records," the tall and thin Martial Officer replied. "We can only rely on the positioning from the smart wristband to confirm he''s continually on the move; he should still be alive."


    "Okay, I understand. You may leave," Liu Jing said, without any further directive.


    Once the room was left to himself,


    "Beep~"


    Liu Jing clicked to project, and rapidly a series of videos appeared, all showing first-person scenes of Li Yuan in combat with numerous aliens.


    They were all uploaded here to Liu Jing.


    "Truly insane."


    "In ten days, the kill count is higher than a normal squad," Liu Jing felt deeply inside, "Looking at the comprehensive information records, is it really non-stop fighting?"


    "Hmm, enough to merit a perfect score for surviving through peril."


    As for an eighteen-year-old youth, Liu Jing felt there was no need to be overly critical.


    Too much is as bad as not enough.


    ...


    January 13, 2044.


    Atop a nondescript mountain peak about 600 kilometers from Outpost Base Number Three,


    on a huge rock, S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was standing there, gripping the long spear in his hand, its tip pointing ahead as though perceiving something.


    Gradually,


    Li Yuan no longer seemed so out of place, but rather blended vaguely with the surrounding scenery, a very mystical sight.


    "Swoosh!" The long spear thrust forward swiftly in a circle like lightning, then instantly retracted.


    Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his peripheral vision couldn''t help but glance at the Divine Palace panel:


    [Life Level: 16.8 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 24,400 kilograms


    Speed: 70.2 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: level 26.9


    Willpower: level 30


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 28.9% (Current limit 30%)


    Star Meridian: level 10


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 5%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 6%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ...


    "I feel my progress is fast enough,"


    "But advancing in Fifth Stage Spear Technique is still significantly slower than when it was at the Fourth Level," Li Yuan thought to himself, "With 1.1% to go in Spiritual Awakening Level, keep up the effort."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan leapt lightly and dashed down the mountain like a monkey, searching for other alien life forms.


    Moments later,


    His spiritual power extended outward, sensing his surroundings. Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head toward a forest not far away.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    In the distance among the trees, three figures dressed in light purple robes, each wielding weapons, were rapidly jumping towards him.


    "Human Martial Artists?" a flicker of confusion passed through Li Yuan''s mind, "Something''s off, why didn''t my smart wristband alert me to the approach of Martial Artists?"

 Chapter 206: 171: Human Race? Alien Race! Kill!

    Within a 1000 kilometer radius of the war base, the signal was quite decent.


    If the base wished, it could contact human martial artists in the area at any time, even roughly locate them using intelligent ring-tablets, though it could be difficult to contact them directly beyond 1000 kilometers.


    By using the positioning system, if human martial artists came within 3 kilometers of each other within the 1000 kilometers, they would usually receive an induction to prevent friendly fire.


    Not detecting anything?


    There were three possible explanations: one was that the martial artists didn''t want to reveal their whereabouts and had turned off their intelligent ring-tablets'' positioning.


    Another was that the intelligent ring-tablets were lost or broken.


    And the last possibility was¡ªthe others weren''t human martial artists, but aliens.


    Still, this area was only 600 kilometers from the Human Race''s war base and was rather within their sphere of influence.


    Would a strong member of the Tianliang Civilization come all the way here to kill?


    "Just judging by the attire, they resemble our human martial artists." Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his body like a gust of wind, vanishing into the slightly dim forest.


    With Li Yuan''s current skills, although he hadn''t deliberately practiced the art of assassination, after achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, his stealth ability was not at all inferior to that of some formidable assassins.


    After all, what is stealth? It is essentially merging with the environment, so that others cannot detect you.


    And a warrior of Unity of Heaven and Man seeks precisely that¡ªto become one with the universe.


    Understanding one art enlightens a hundred others.


    A warrior of Unity of Heaven and Man could rapidly master various skills and techniques that ordinary people would have to train for a long time.


    ...


    Li Yuan projected his senses outward, his perception astonishing.


    He noticed early on the three faint purple figures shuttling through the forest.


    But these three faint purple figures did not detect Li Yuan''s presence at all.


    "Number two, number three, keep a close eye on our surroundings, stay alert, we''ve entered the activity range of the Seven Star Civilization, we might encounter human martial artists at any time," said the tall, thin man with unkempt hair, while scanning the surroundings attentively.


    His face bore some resemblance to the people of Xia Country, only his skin was a bit darker, and his pronunciation was peculiar, speaking a language completely different from that of the Human Race.


    "Hmm."


    "We''re disguised so well that even if they see us from a distance, they might not recognize us."


    "We''re just in charge of the alert exploration, the capture and pursuit is for the captain and the others. Judging by the time, the captain should have caught them by now." The other two purple-cloaked figures, carrying weapons, responded in low voices.


    The three of them formed a loose combat formation, continually surveying their surroundings with sharp eyes, as if searching for something.


    Suddenly.


    "Who''s there!" The leader in purple robes shouted suddenly, sensing something, this time using the rather awkward Xia Country language.


    The other two purple robes were startled as they had not sensed anything yet.


    "Whoosh!" Without a sound.


    About fifty meters to the side of the three, a figure clad in black suddenly appeared from the dense forest, a young man holding a black long spear, with an innocent smile on his face.


    "Sirs, it''s me, so glad to have finally found some living people." The young man in black waved his long spear excitedly and shouted loudly.


    This voice echoed in the forest, very conspicuous, a perfect match for the young man''s smiling face.


    The three purple-cloaked figures exchanged glances.


    "It''s a human martial artist, quite young, probably just resting there earlier," whispered the leader in the tall purple cloak, "perception of life force suggests around level 17; we''ll observe if there''s anyone else first, and capture him for questioning as soon as he gets close."


    Level 17?


    This made the other two purple-cloaked figures relax their guard subconsciously, for they were both level 18 warriors, and their captain was approaching level 19.


    The disparity in physical quality by one level meant an astounding difference in strength.


    "Young brother, which team are you from?" The man in the tall purple cloak showed a slight smile, leading the others to greet him proactively.


    "I''m from the Suzuki squad." The young man in black responded cheerily, "It''s my first time here, and I got separated from them. Which martial artists'' team are you seniors from?"


    "Oh?"


    "Suzuki squad? I''ve heard of it," the tall man in the purple cloak answered Li Yuan while keeping up appearances.


    The distance of several dozen meters between them closed quickly, and within a few seconds, both sides approached within twenty meters of each other.


    In the next instant.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two figures beside the tall purple-cloaked figure burst forth simultaneously, their speed skyrocketing in a moment, attacking the young man in black from the left and the right.


    "With Wei Lao and Zhen Hong''s strength, they should be able to capture him with three or two moves when working together." The tall man in the purple cloak thought as much.


    However, contrary to his expectations.


    The young man in black didn''t panic or get bewildered as he had imagined; instead, he burst out almost simultaneously, faster and more ferocious.


    "Not good, he''s been hiding his strength," the face of the tall purple-cloaked figure changed, and he immediately exploded into action, drawing his combat saber in a flash, attempting to rescue his two companions.


    But it was too late.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Three figures collided like lightning in mid-air.


    "Whoosh!"


    The long spear whistled, emitting a terrifying shriek as it thrust straight at the two figures in purple robes.


    Too fast.


    The power and speed unleashed by Li Yuan in an instant left all three purple-cloaked people shocked and terrified.


    "Be careful," the tall purple-cloaked figure instinctively let out in his native tongue.


    Thud~thud! Thud!


    Figures crossed, spears crossed, and right afterward a torrent of blood sprayed out.


    A massive bloody hole appeared instantly in the necks of the two purple-cloaked figures.


    Their weapons clanged to the ground, and their bodies crashed into the grassland.


    Until death.


    The eyes of the two purple-cloaked figures bore an expression of disbelief. How could a young man supposedly at level 17 become so formidable all of a sudden?


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan, having killed two with one strike, did not pause for an instant and collided with the tall purple-cloaked figure like lightning.


    "Die!" the tall purple-cloaked figure roared, moving like a ghost, wielding a weapon resembling a huge combat saber.


    As the strongest among the three, he was also stunned by Li Yuan''s explosive attack.


    But in such a close-quarters burst, it was already too late for him to retreat. With no other choice but to fight, he prepared to confront Li Yuan. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Facing a long weapon with a short one, just need to seize a sliver of chance to get in close, and there''s a chance to win."


    "Moreover, this Seven Stars individual''s Life Level isn''t as strong as mine. If I can just block one wave, I''ll be able to escape."


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s long spear came whistling in his hand, instantly creating dozens of phantoms. The spear tip howled as if countless glimmers enveloped him.


    It was one of the five deadly moves of Stellar Spear Technique, the ''Stellar Illumination.''


    This was a defensive move, but if the realm was high enough, it could also be used as a slaughter move.


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Countless spear shadows howled. Although Li Yuan''s physical quality was much weaker, his spear was much faster than the slender figure in the purple robe, accurate and extremely ruthless.


    One spear thrust followed another.


    He completely took the initiative.


    Each thrust sent a chill down the slender figure''s spine, as if walking along the edge of death, he didn''t have time to think and could only wield his combat saber to block with all his might.


    Nine collisions in a row.


    Under the terrifying force, the surrounding mud and stones blasted and flew everywhere.


    "Rise." Li Yuan bellowed, his long spear danced in his hand, and he suddenly swung it down heavily onto the slender figure''s arms.


    After this collision, the figure in the purple robe could no longer resist. The terrifying impact sent him flying uncontrollably into the air.


    Strength starts from the root.


    As a first and second rank warrior who couldn''t yet fly, one wouldn''t let oneself be air-borne lightly in the heat of close combat.


    Spurt!


    "Thud!" Seizing the opportunity, Li Yuan followed with a straight thrust. His long spear howled, and immediately, a blood hole appeared on each of the slender figure''s shoulders.


    The arms were almost torn apart.


    "Bang~" The slender figure in purple smashed heavily against a nearby mountainside, kicking up countless fragments. The intense pain in both arms made it impossible for him to hold onto his combat saber any longer.


    "Clang~" "Clang~" The combat saber fell to the ground.


    The slender figure also landed from the mountainside and barely stood up, completely bereft of fighting ability.


    Boom! A black figure flashed in.


    "Swoosh!" Another spear shadow flashed past.


    Crack~ The sound of two knee bones shattering rang out.


    The knees of the purple-robed slender figure burst open, instantly turning bloodied and blurry, he could no longer endure and, with his face to the ground, crashed down to his knees.


    Both arms and knees were disabled, and he lost the ability to move.


    "Bang~" Another kick sent the slender figure in the purple robe flying several meters, landing heavily.


    He lay on his back, bloodied and battered, and moving became difficult after being struck repeatedly.


    However, given his strong vitality, nonsfatal injuries to the heart and head meant he wouldn''t die in a short time.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan stood five meters away and did not approach, just stared coldly at the slender figure.


    Better safe than sorry, even with an overwhelming advantage, one must remain cautious.


    Indeed.


    If it wasn''t for wanting to capture a live one for interrogation, Li Yuan could have killed him within five moves with his strength.


    "Tianliang Clan''s, you understand the human language." Li Yuan spoke indifferently, "I ask, you answer, I promise to give you a quick death. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it."


    "Regret?" The figure on the ground sneered, "Seven Stars human, don''t expect to pry anything useful from my mouth. Don''t underestimate the willpower of the Tianliang Clan, you''d better kill me quickly."


    "Otherwise, once our people arrive, you''re certainly dead," the figure in the purple robe said venomously, his life force draining, he felt himself slipping away.


    Moving toward death.


    "Your people?" Li Yuan smiled lightly, "So, you have quite a few people coming?"


    "Hmph." The figure in the purple robe snorted and spoke no more.


    "One must drink punishment for refusing a toast." Li Yuan shook his head lightly, and now he took out a tan pill.


    Buzz~


    Enveloped in a black battle garment, Li Yuan swiftly moved in front of the figure and forced the pill into his mouth, making him swallow it by force.


    "Origin Power Battle Suit?" The figure in the purple robe was shocked, then sneered, "No matter what the drug, don''t expect to... Ahh!"


    His body started to tremble violently.


    "A special interrogation drug."


    "One costs ten thousand Blue Star Coins." Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Almost as painful as one-tenth of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Decay... Let''s see if your bones are tough enough."


    Li Yuan had prepared 20 of these pills, specifically for the Alien Race.


    Being able to train to a High Level Warrior, ordinary pains, like severed hands and feet, they could withstand quite easily.


    Special methods were required.


    Just dozens of seconds later.


    "I''ll talk."


    "I''ll tell you everything." The figure in the purple robe could no longer endure it, wailing in agony.


    ...


    Soon, Li Yuan obtained the intelligence he wanted from the purple-robed figure.


    Without hesitation.


    Li Yuan dialed the base communication and quickly reported his situation.


    "Xu An, you did very well," came the voice over the comms.


    "This is information we did not know."


    "However, Observation Point 19 has already come under heavy attack from the Tianliang strong beings. According to the rescue request from the observation point, there should be no second rank fighters." The voice on the communication sounded heavy, "We''ve dispatched support squads by flyer to Observation Point 19... but flying is very risky and may not arrive in time."


    "The nearest ones."


    "Two warrior squads are already on the way to rescue, and we hope you can also go to support," the voice continued.


    "Okay, I''ll set out immediately," Li Yuan said somberly. Observation Point 19 was already under siege?


    "What about this Tianliang?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Execute him on the spot!"

 Chapter 207: 172: Demon Blood Spirit Crystal (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    After ending the call.


    Li Yuan didn''t waste any words. He stood up, waved his long spear, and struck down the purple-robed figure lying on the ground, already nearly unconscious.


    The head was split in two, dead beyond any doubt.


    "[You have consecutively killed Entry Rank creatures and obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment, bringing your Spiritual Awakening Level to 29%]", the Divine Palace panel showed a prompt.


    In fact, why was Li Yuan so certain these trio were from an Alien Race, and not Seven Stars humans?


    It wasn''t because he understood their conversation, nor did he detect too many clues.


    It was simply because the inquiry from the Divine Palace reminded him that killing them would yield ''Spiritual Nature nourishment''.


    This kind of prompt only appeared for Alien races.


    "No matter how good their disguise, they can''t escape the inquiry of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace." Li Yuan glanced over the corpses with a sharp gaze.


    In fact, had Li Yuan not killed the Tianliang individual, with their injuries, their death was all but certain if things persisted.


    Moreover, in The Wilderness'' jungle, losing the ability to move was akin to awaiting death, you never know when some beast-like Alien Race would be attracted by the scent of blood.


    "Pursuing a human? Why?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, pondering the intelligence he had just obtained.


    The content of the intelligence was not plentiful, mainly two points.


    First, those killed by Li Yuan were merely ''First Rank warriors'' among the Tianliang Clan, sent to the Mingxu Star Realm by orders, which was essentially similar to the military martial artists of the Human Race civilization.


    Second, as a large squad, they were ordered to pursue a human warrior¡ªa chase that spanned hundreds of kilometers.


    Who exactly was this human warrior? Why were they being tracked? They had no knowledge of this, at least not these three warriors.


    "A large squad of the Tianliang Civilization, with at least over 50 Tianliang warriors," Li Yuan thought to himself, "there must be more than one Level 19 warrior.">


    The Seven Stars Human Race civilization and the Tianliang Civilization had not only encountered each other in the Mingxu Star Realm but also through other Star Realms. Although they didn''t wage war as insanely as the Alien Civilizations behind Rob Sea, they had always been at odds with each other.


    Over the years, both civilizations actually had a good understanding of each other, with a certain grasp of the language, culture, technology, history, and many other aspects.


    This was why, once Li Yuan''s Divine Palace inquiry confirmed the others were ''Alien Races,'' he did not hesitate to take action and execute a slaughter.


    There was no need to question why.


    According to the ''code of conduct'' given by the base, any strong beings from the two large Alien Civilizations encountered within 1,000 kilometers of the base could be attacked directly.


    Clang~


    Li Yuan quickly searched the three bodies but found not many valuable items.


    Weapons? Combat Armor? They were only First Rank mid-grade weapons, not very valuable, and Li Yuan had no place to put them anyway.


    There was even less of other things, mostly just food.


    "Hmm, a Life Detector? First Rank." Li Yuan grinned as he found something truly valuable on the strongest Tianliang being.


    He took it off.


    This was a technological product of the Tianliang race.


    It was somewhat similar to the ''Life Vitality Detector'' of the Seven Stars Human Race Civilization but of better quality and truly miniaturized, capable of being carried around.


    Li Yuan had the Divine Palace inquiry, which was more accurate, and he didn''t need this device.


    Even though this palm-sized Life Detector appeared to be only First Rank and could only detect up to Level 20 Life.


    However, once Li Yuan handed it over to the base, he could sell it for several million Blue Star Coins.


    "Perhaps, the Life Vitality Detector used by our Seven Stars Human Race civilization was initially inspired by this device," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In some ways, war continuously promotes the development of technology.


    It forces a civilization to grow stronger, to prevent the entire civilization from extinction.


    For hundreds of years, through collisions and exchanges with a myriad of Star Realms and a multitude of Alien Civilizations, the Seven Stars Human Race civilization has made leaps in both technology and the cultivation civilization.


    "Beast-kind civilizations tend to be weak in terms of technology."


    "But many humanoid civilizations possess very powerful technologies, many of which are much stronger than those of the human race," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    This information may not be clear to ordinary people, but it was no secret to Prime Warriors.


    Li Yuan had perused a considerable amount of data from Starfire Martial Hall and was very aware of this fact.


    Because of this.


    The entire Seven Stars Human Race civilization was filled with a sense of crisis, striving to develop martial arts and technology to become even stronger.


    Though it might seem slow, Li Yuan had taken only tens of seconds to search the bodies, casually putting the Life Detector into his close-fitting backpack.


    "Observation Point 19?"


    "Let''s go." Li Yuan briefly discerned the direction, then set up ''directional guidance'' on his smart wristband.


    A straight-line distance of 40 kilometers!


    "With full-speed assault, I should be able to arrive within 20 minutes. I hope they can hold on," Li Yuan sighed inwardly. His figure moved, his speed soared to over 50 meters/second, turning into a streak of light that shot out, rushing towards Observation Point 19.


    A large squad of Tianliang warriors?


    To breach an observation point wouldn''t be difficult, even without carrying technological weapons.


    "Just 1% shy of reaching a 30% level of Spiritual Awakening," Li Yuan''s eyes flashed with a fierce light.


    I''ll use you as my experiment.


    ...


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Seven Stars Human Race civilization, aside from forward operating bases, was divided into Observation Points and Information Points.


    Information Points, for example, included regions highly suitable for the cultivation of various precious medicinal herbs or mining areas for ore veins.


    Observation Points, often located at the farthest boundaries of activity, served the purpose of surveying and monitoring tens of kilometers around to serve as early warnings.


    They also provided temporary rest areas for the many martial artists training in the outermost zones.


    Observation Point 19.


    It was one situated on the outskirts, far from the war base, a hidden Observation Point inside a mountain. The belly of the mountain was mostly hollowed out. From the outside, it looked unremarkable, not much different from a common small hill, but the interior was complex and intricate.


    For the past several decades, it had been safe.


    But today, Observation Point 19 faced a catastrophe.


    The outermost defenses of the Observation Point had been breached.


    "Dada dada!"


    Ferocious fire spat out as more than ten metal bullets sealed off a passage over ten meters wide, completely suppressing the several dozen Tianliang warriors outside.


    In such a confined space.


    Even for a Level 19 powerhouse, it would be extremely dangerous to forcefully charge against the flow of metal bullets through the passage.


    "What assholes."


    As the corridor outside echoed with their discontent, a monster-like brute towered over the rest. Standing well over two and a half meters tall, clad in black combat armor, his eyes seemed to spit fire.


    The surrounding Tianliang Clan warriors remained silent.


    "Captain Logan, what should we do?" Another squat, plump man asked in a deep voice. "We all know that these Seven Stars Human Race observers might have other passages. If we delay, they might escape."


    "Most importantly, we''re very close to the Seven Stars Human Race base. They''re definitely calling for backup. Once the Prime Warriors arrive, we''re all dead."


    "Failing to bring back the mission target will also mean big trouble for us." The squat, plump man said as he looked at the other, "Lord Xue Shu will not let us off easily."


    Clearly.


    Among the forty-plus Tianliang Clan warriors present, these two stood at the highest rank.


    "Mo Long, you don''t need to remind me," the burly Logan said with an icy voice. "I know the consequences of failing a mission better than you do."


    "Stop hesitating, let''s go all out and pave the way."


    "Mm."


    The two powerful Tianliang Clan leaders hesitated no more. They each took out a small vial from their bosoms and gently opened it to reveal a blood-red elixir inside.


    They swallowed it down without a second thought.


    The sight of the blood-red elixir sparked a flicker of envy in the eyes of the surrounding Tianliang Clan warriors.


    Boom! The skin of both the hulking Logan and the squat brute seemed to turn fiery red. Even veins of crimson energy could be seen coursing across their skin.


    It was a special Heavenly Materials Treasure of the Tianliang Clan called the ''Demon Blood Spirit Crystal.'' Once consumed, it would significantly increase their strength and speed for a short period and even bestow them with a hint of special Origin Power.


    The effect was insignificant to Prime Warriors, but to those of the First Rank of life, it was a substantial boost in strength with virtually no side effects. Instead, after the effect wore off, it would slightly improve their overall physical quality.


    Such a medicine was precious, something ordinary First Rank fighters couldn''t possibly obtain.


    This time, however, the mission was special.


    Both captains, whose Life Levels exceeded rank 19, were each given one so that they could use it at a critical moment.


    Clang! With a shattering sound, the bulging armors of the formidable Logan and Mo Long now fully encased their bodies.


    "We charge, and you follow."


    "Kill!" Logan roared lowly.


    Boom! Bang! Both warriors, one wielding a combat saber and the other a gigantic battle axe, charged into the corridor side by side in a blur.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    "Clang!" Countless metal bullets rained furiously on them, drastically reducing their speed with their formidable impact, but those numerous bullets were immediately blocked by the swirling crimson energy mingling with their armor.


    ...Inside Observation Point No.19, dozens of Human Warriors each held weapons with eyes narrowed in high tension, scrutinizing the corridor.


    The ranged weapons were directly operated by the observation point''s intelligent system.


    "Captain." Shi Xiao gripped her combat saber, her eyes ice cold, fixated on the corridor.


    "Relax." Standing beside her, Captain Wu Qiong, appearing to be in her thirties with the mature air of a woman, whispered, "Your strength is second only to mine in the squad, but your experience is still lacking."


    "This is a fight for life and death."


    "First, we need to remain calm," Wu Qiong uttered softly, as a warrior who had battled for years in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Her Life Level stood at 19.6, and her experience was very rich.


    "Understood," Shi Xiao nodded in agreement.


    "Don''t worry, Captain Wu Qiong," she reassured.


    "With our stored ammunition, holding them back for over half an hour isn''t hard," the observer post''s officer added in a low voice.


    "Just a while ago, you said our external defense systems could hold for at least twenty minutes, but what happened?" Wu Qiong glanced at him coldly. "Three of my team members are dead."


    The officer fell silent at that.


    He too hadn''t anticipated that this attacking force of Tianliang Clan warriors would be so fierce, each one surpassing level 18, undoubtedly an elite squad.


    Suddenly. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Damn, they''ve breached." Wu Qiong''s eyes flashed coldly as she roared sharply, "Prepare for battle! Kill!"


    Bang! Boom!


    As thunderous noises resonated, the two fearsome Tianliang Clan leaders, bracing against the metal barrage, darted through the corridor like lightning, swiftly destroying a multitude of the ranged weapon emitters.


    The dozens of Tianliang Clan warriors who followed surged in like a tidal wave.


    "Kill!"


    "Engage!" With no way to retreat, over twenty Human Warriors charged into battle with howls of determination.


    "Scum."


    "You can''t escape," the formidable Logan growled, spotting his target and dashing forward like lightning.


    "Your opponent is me." Wu Qiong swung her long spear, positioning herself before him.


    "Out of my way!"


    ...


    After spending about 23 minutes at full sprint, Li Yuan, guided by the map on his smart ring, finally arrived at the outskirts of the 19th observation point, located in the wooded hills.


    Just a brief survey of his surroundings caused his expression to darken.


    "Bodies?" With a glance, Li Yuan noticed a large number of corpses around the perimeter.


    Many appeared to be from the Human Race, some wearing purple robes.


    This portion was clearly that of the Tianliang Clan warriors.


    There were also many other corpses, evidently belonging to the Seven Stars Human Race side.


    "So many dead?" A hint of murderous intent crossed Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Has the observation post fallen?" Doubt flickered through Li Yuan''s thoughts, soon followed by a slight movement of his ears. "Sounds of battle?"


    "Some are still alive."


    Whoosh! Li Yuan''s figure shot like lightning, rushing straight into the broad corridor that lay revealed before him.

 Chapter 208: 173: Li Yuan! Full Force Explosion! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

    Frontline Base Three, Level Six.


    In the vast conference hall, countless beams of light converged, forming two giant screen projections.


    One was a holographic projection of the map.


    Above it, aside from the undulating mountain ranges and rivers, a multitude of red dots were in motion, with some disappearing from time to time.


    The other was a live feed projection.


    What it showed was the brutal slaughter currently unfolding at Observation Point 19.


    The ling spear-wielding Wu Qiong, with an exceptional bearing, was locked in fierce combat with the burly, unshapely ''Logan,'' and she was being completely overpowered.


    On the other side, the young Shi Xiao, also wielding twin blades, was teaming up with another 19th level Martial Artist to jointly restrain the hulking ''Mo Long.''


    The other human warriors were similarly struggling to fend off the attacks from the Tianliang Clan warriors.


    However, with the top combat strength and overall numbers both at a disadvantage, the deaths of Wu Qiong and Shi Xiao seemed only a matter of time.


    In front of the screens, three figures furrowed their brows.


    They were the chief officers of Frontline Base Three and were all Prime Warriors.


    "How far is the reinforcement squad?" The only woman in purple among the three asked sharply.


    "Based on their current speed, it should take another 20 minutes to arrive," replied the blue-clothed elder Liu Jing. "They''ve just encountered a large group of flying alien species... losing a flyer, some had to proceed to the rescue on foot."


    "Within 100 kilometers of Observation Point 19, there are only three warrior squads. Wu Qiong''s squad was the only one that could arrive swiftly... but her squad alone isn''t enough to hold on," Liu Jing continued, "The other squad will take at least another 15 minutes to arrive."


    It was he who always took charge of the overall situation, and it was he who had arranged the rescue mission for Observation Point 19 this time.


    He paused.


    Liu Jing sighed, "The crux is that the strength of this Tianliang Clan''s fighting force is too formidable; the two leaders have even used ''Demon Blood Spirit Crystals.'' Wu Qiong is among the strongest of High Level Warriors, yet in a one-on-one battle, she''s completely at a disadvantage."


    "Even if the other squad arrives, I''m afraid they''re no match," Liu Jing assessed calmly.


    The conference room fell silent.


    The overall power of the Tianliang Clan in the Mingxu Star Realm was far greater than that of human civilization, and they could mobilize a stronger force than humans.


    "I should have been allowed to go just now," the other young man in white frowned. "If I had been there, the support squad wouldn''t have been delayed and would be nearly there by now."


    "No, it''s not possible."


    "Han Chong, I know what you''re thinking," Liu Jing addressed the white-clothed young man, "but you must understand, today is just a minor conflict; we three can''t take action thoughtlessly."


    "Without a major event, we cannot leave the outpost."


    "Except in a situation of extreme crisis, we can''t leave within 300 kilometers of the base; that''s the rule."


    "Violating it once might seem to have a benefit, but in the long run, it could bring disaster," Liu Jing spoke softly. "Once it attracts a Flying Heaven level native life-form, it won''t just be these few Martial Artists dying, it could lead to the annihilation of our entire outpost."


    "Understood, Elder Liu," the white-clothed young man said, his voice subdued. He, of course, knew the rules.


    But watching as human warriors were killed, his heart couldn''t help but struggle.


    "Sometimes, some casualties are inevitable," Liu Jing sighed lightly.


    What human civilization established in the Mingxu Star Realm were only ''frontline bases.''


    What is a frontline? Essentially a watchpost, meant for observation, information gathering, and minimal resource collection.


    Not an ''advance base,'' or a ''garrison base.''


    Therefore, whether it is Xia Country or the Seven Star Alliance, the resources invested in the Mingxu Star Realm were actually quite limited.


    In reality, the main theme of the Mingxu Star Realm was the fierce battle among several horrific Flying Heaven level beings leading their respective clans; mostly, they hunkered down in ''Ming Mountain'' at the world''s center and rarely paid any attention to the peripheries.


    For the Seven Star human civilization''s outposts to survive in the long term, they must keep a low profile, avoid drawing the attention of Flying Heaven level beings native to the Mingxu Star Realm as much as possible.


    Refraining Prime Warriors from taking action is for this very reason.


    Prime Warriors taking action freely, if done too frequently, would inevitably attract the attention of powerful Second Rank alien species.


    Once a battle breaks out, should the situation become dire,


    The fearsome thermal weaponry capable of extinguishing top-ranked Second Rank alien species at the outpost would most likely draw out Flying Heaven level native life-forms.


    It would be a disaster.


    "Hm?" Liu Jing''s eyes suddenly brightened, "No, perhaps there''s a turning point."


    "Xu An has arrived," Liu Jing announced.


    "Xu An?"


    "Who is Xu An?" Both the white-clothed young man Han Chong and the woman in purple showed puzzled expressions.


    They rarely handled specific affairs and were not up-to-speed with Li Yuan''s matters.


    "You will know soon enough," There was a hint of expectation in Liu Jing''s eyes.


    ...


    Observation Point 19.


    Whoosh! The moment Li Yuan rushed into the corridor, he saw several human corpses, their attire indicating they were ''ordinary people'' stationed at the observation point.


    This scene involuntarily reminded Li Yuan of the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City.


    Back then, he had seen a large number of similar corpses.


    At this moment, Li Yuan''s killing intent grew stronger.


    At the end of the corridor were three purple-robed figures brandishing blades, who had been casually conversing, seemingly assigned to perimeter watch.


    "A Seven Stars human Martial Artist has come," The three purple-robed figures immediately noticed Li Yuan, first tense, but then revealing contempt.


    "Only 17th level."


    "The Life Detector shows he''s only 17th level," one of the purple-robed figures said indifferently, "Kill him."

    Without hesitation,


    The other two purple-robed figures flipped their hands to produce throwing darts, and with a fierce motion, they hurled the darts toward Li Yuan with a whoosh.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    The speed of these darts was astonishing, instantly reaching supersonic speeds, and they were also extremely heavy. In terms of impact force alone, they far exceeded that of some bullets.

 Chapter 209: 173: Li Yuan! Full Force Explosion! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

    ```


    Being able to practice throwing darts to such an extent is also rare.


    Had it really been an ordinary Level 17 Martial Artist facing these suddenly erupting darts, they would certainly have been thrown into confusion, or even directly killed.


    At the very least, they would have been forced to retreat.


    "Hidden weapons?" Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold, and in an instant, his body moved, not retreating but advancing, transforming into a residual shadow as he charged toward his opponent.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure seemed to blur, appearing to move in a straight line, but in reality, he was performing extremely small, lightning-fast movements... Such movement was extremely difficult at super-high speeds.


    In a single encounter.


    Li Yuan had easily dodged more than ten whistling darts, completely crossing the corridor that was over fifty meters long.


    This was the Fifth Stage Skill "Unity of Heaven and Man".


    Feeling the heaven and earth spiritually, it allowed Li Yuan''s Perception Ability to far exceed that of an ordinary First Rank strongman, easily able to anticipate each and every dart''s trajectory.


    "Bang~" "Boom!" "Boom!" Those supersonic heavy darts, missing Li Yuan, then crashed into the walls on both sides of the corridor, burying deep into the metal walls.


    "Not good."


    "Level 19? Such fast speed."


    "The Life Detector is wrong."


    "And his skill is very strong, his movement technique is powerful." The faces of the three Tianliang Clan warriors changed instantly.


    All of them were elite warriors surpassing Level 18, each with Third Stage skills.


    Although Li Yuan''s movements were fast, with their eyesight, they could still barely make out his figure.


    They could naturally sense Li Yuan''s terrifying strength.


    "Escape."


    "Quick, go."


    "Meet up with the captain." The three Tianliang Clan warriors didn''t hesitate and turned to flee, each moving extremely fast.


    Confrontation? From the speed and movement technique that Li Yuan burst forth with, they judged that they were undoubtedly bound to lose.


    Leave it to the two captains instead.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and the three Tianliang Clan warriors chased and fled, both bursting forth with extreme speed.


    In just a few seconds.


    The two sides had passed through several corridors and two large halls, each one severely damaged, and some even partially collapsed, obviously having experienced fierce fighting.


    There were also quite a few human corpses, as well as a few Tianliang Clan warrior bodies.


    Swish! Swish! The three Tianliang Clan warriors retreated quickly.


    But Li Yuan was even faster in pursuit.


    In the state of Subtlety, Li Yuan, whose Life Level was originally 16.8, burst forth with speed and strength that could completely rival a Level 19 martial artist.


    After nearly ten seconds of lightning-fast chasing and fleeing.


    The originally faint sounds of combat had become extremely shrill and loud, along with roars and bellows from the deepest part of the observation point.


    Li Yuan, at last, caught up with the three fleeing Tianliang Clan warriors.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill." Two of the Tianliang Clan warriors also decisively realized they couldn''t escape, abruptly stamped their feet on the metal wall, turned around, and charged at Li Yuan explosively.

    It was like a Turnabout Spear technique, attempting to take down Li Yuan.


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"


    Two spear shadows streaked across the Vast Sky, like two bolts of lightning.


    Thud! Thud! The two Tianliang Clan warriors only felt a flash of cold light in front of their eyes, and Li Yuan had already swept past them, their necks stung as the spear''s tip pierced through, leaving massive bloody holes, with blood splattering.


    Their bodies fell heavily to the ground.


    "This..."

    "I..." The two Tianliang Clan warriors could not believe it, unable to accept that they had died just like that.


    "What?" The remaining living Tianliang Clan warrior was already stunned.


    Just one spear! And it killed two elite warriors?


    Was the gap in strength really that large?


    But what he didn''t know was that the speed and strength that Li Yuan had burst forth with were already a large cut above, and if he couldn''t finish them off in a single encounter, that would have been abnormal.


    When the gap in strength and speed between opponents is huge, there isn''t much room for skill to play a role... However, when the foundation is close or even superior, the side with superior skill truly reveals its terrifying aspect.


    ```


    At 18 years old, Li Yuan''s skills reached the "Unity of Heaven and Man," a feat that could leave a mark in the entire history of the Seven Stars human civilization.


    One can imagine how rare it is.


    At least within the First Rank of life, those who possess Fourth Level skills are very few, let alone Fifth Stage skills.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan''s speed hardly faltered, as he chased down the last remaining Tianliang Clan warrior with a whoosh.


    ...Within the vast hall.


    Dozens of Tianliang Clan powerhouses had completely suppressed the human warriors, with one after another of the latter falling dead.


    The battle was utterly one-sided.


    "Kill! Kill them!" Wu Qiong, gripping his long spear and with a determined look in his eyes, was still desperately fighting the burly strongman Logan, looking for an opportunity to kill him.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang!" Shi Xiao, dual blades in hand, was still desperately fighting, but her heart was filled with despair.


    The old ghost is dead, Manzai is dead, Yu Hai is dead... Of the nine warriors she had recently met in her squad, six had already been killed in battle, a heavy loss.


    The key was, Shi Xiao saw not a single glimmer of hope for victory, not even a chance to run.


    Almost all of the human warriors were in despair, simply making their last struggle and resistance.


    If they were going to die, they were determined to take someone with them.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! A purple figure was suddenly blasted into the entrance passage and crashed heavily against a pillar, before falling to the ground, drenched in blood with more bleeding from the neck, evidently not going to survive.


    "Huh?"


    "What''s going on?" Many of the Tianliang Clan warriors reacted instantly, their attention drawn to the dark passage instinctively.


    Whoosh!


    And while the corpse was attracting attention, a shadowy figure merged into the hall under cover of darkness, directly pouncing to attack.


    "Ptui!"


    "Ptui!" A number of terrifying spear shadows blossomed. Several Tianliang Clan warriors had yet to detect the danger when they felt a chill in their throats, followed by painful stabs. They instinctively covered their throats but couldn''t utter a sound.


    They fell one by one.


    "Not good."


    "An assassin! It''s an enemy." Many Tianliang Clan warriors, as if waking from a dream, finally noticed Li Yuan''s presence, many glaring at him angrily.


    "Reinforcements?"


    "Just one person?" The human warriors still alive in the hall first felt a surge of spirit, followed by a flicker of disappointment in their hearts.


    Only one person came?


    "Li Yuan?" Shi Xiao, who had already given up hope, lit up when she recognized Li Yuan''s figure.


    Immediately after, Shi Xiao''s heart tightened and she quickly said, "Xu An, get out of here! Leave immediately."


    Shi Xiao truly liked Li Yuan and naturally did not want to see him die with her.


    "Senior sister." Li Yuan also saw Shi Xiao, feeling a wave of relief in his heart.


    Fortunately, he had arrived in time.


    For Senior Sister Shi Xiao, Li Yuan couldn''t say he felt any romantic affection, but since she had been good to him, he naturally did not want anything bad to happen to her.


    Boom!


    The moment Li Yuan rushed into the hall and grasped the entire situation, he burst forth with full power, charging at the short and stocky strongman Mo Long.


    "Kill."


    "Kill him!" The other Tianliang Clan warriors roared furiously, brandishing their weapons, attempting to block Li Yuan''s path.


    "Ptui! Ptui!"


    Like a swirling tornado, with spear shadows flickering continuously, Li Yuan, erupting with his full power, instantly killed three Tianliang Clan warriors, merciless to the extreme.


    "Boy, prepare to die." A muffled growl emanated through the air.


    Boom!


    The short and stocky strongman who had been suppressing Shi Xiao and trying to kill her suddenly stopped his battle axe and, with a movement, charged towards Li Yuan, fast as lightning.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The axe''s light crisscrossed through the air, with the axe head and long spear clashing. Li Yuan managed to fully withstand the attacks of the short and stocky Mo Long.


    "Haha, exhilarating."


    "You seem stronger than the Alien Race opponents I''ve killed before," a glint passed through Li Yuan''s eyes: "If I can kill him, I wonder how much my Spiritual Awakening Level will increase."

 Chapter 210: 174: Battle of Life and Death (Additional for nuanyang1314 the Gold League patron)

    The moment Li Yuan entered the depths of observation point number 19, he had already utilized his Divine Palace Perception and instantly locked onto several of the strongest Tianliang Clan warriors.


    Upon preliminary assessment, there were eight Tianliang Clan warriors exceeding level 19.


    Among them, two were as high as level 19.9!


    It''s important to note that the standard Fist Strength for level 19 is only 50,000 kilograms, but for level 19.9, it reaches 70,000 kilograms, and the difference in strength and speed is truly astonishing.


    Moreover, the higher the Life Level of the alien race being killed, the more Spiritual Nature nourishment one would receive; this was an ironclad rule.


    In the past ten days or so, although Li Yuan''s Spiritual Awakening Level had increased by 4%, it was a gradual accumulation, and the strongest alien race he had killed was less than level 19.


    The stocky dwarf brandishing two huge battle axes before him was one of the two major level 19.9 masters of the Tianliang Clan.


    Boom! Boom!


    Mo Long, the stout dwarf, instantly increased the distance from Li Yuan.


    "Despite being far weaker in physical strength, you can easily block my attacks," Mo Long, the stout dwarf, said in a strange voice, speaking in ''Xia Country language,'' eyes fixed on Li Yuan, "Life detection equipment pegged you at level 17, one device might malfunction, but it''s impossible for all devices to be wrong. Could you be a peerless genius with Subtle Spirit?"


    The words of Mo Long, the stout dwarf, echoed in the vast hall, immediately causing a stir among the many Tianliang Clan warriors and human Martial Artists.


    Their gazes couldn''t help but flicker towards Li Yuan, feeling a sense of shock in their hearts.


    Subtle Spirit? Fourth Level Perfection?


    This technique was legendary to them, most had only heard of it, and almost never seen it.


    "Subtle Spirit?"


    "Go ask King Yama in death," Li Yuan said coldly, not bothering with idle chit-chat, his body suddenly erupted with power, the air exploding with a bang, turning him into a blurred figure as he charged towards his opponent with a howl.


    The situation on the ground left no room for Li Yuan to waste words; quickly killing his opponent was the right course of action. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Ask King Yama?" Mo Long, the stout dwarf, was stunned; although he had learned some Seven Stars human language from Xia Country, he didn''t quite understand some mythological references.


    But that didn''t stop him from grasping the meaning of Li Yuan''s words.


    "Even with Subtle Spirit, you''re going to die," Mo Long, the stout dwarf, sneered fiercely and with a shift of his body, lunged forward to kill Li Yuan.


    A few tens of meters was all the distance between them, and in just a fraction of a second, they met.


    "Whoosh!" Li Yuan''s gaze was sharp as a blade, and with a flick of his Black Chen Spear, countless spear shadows appeared, their tips cold and menacing, completely enveloping Mo Long, the stout dwarf.


    The spear shadows were eerie and chilling to the bone.


    "So fast." Mo Long inwardly flinched, somewhat caught off guard, his axes in hand like two great shields, attempting to block the barrage of spear shadows.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!" A series of clashing sounds rang out, the terrifying force behind each blow traveling down to Mo Long''s legs, causing him to stagger backward, his stout, powerful thighs translating the force to the ground, cracking it and sending rubble flying.


    The flying debris had no effect on either Li Yuan or Mo Long.


    "Whoosh!"


    One of the spear thrusts grazed past Mo Long''s side, and although it missed, the terrifying force behind it punched a large hole in the metal wall pillar beside him, as if it had been blasted open by an armor-piercing shell.


    "Die!" Mo Long tried to sweep away the spear with an axe, aiming to get close to Li Yuan.


    The axe, less nimble than a sword, but more terrifying in its explosive power when struck with fury.


    If he got within range.


    Mo Long was confident he could cleave Li Yuan in half with a single blow.


    "Out of my way." Li Yuan shouted angrily, and as one thrust missed, he instantly engaged his core muscles, drawing a deep gouge in the metal pillar with the tip of his spear, then abruptly shot out with an explosive release.


    He swept it across mercilessly.


    "Bang!"


    Changing moves too quickly, this sweeping strike with the long spear forced Mo Long to once again use his axe like a shield to block, accompanied by a dull thud, Mo Long involuntarily staggered backward. Check back at m-v le-mpyr for more


    "Huff!" Following the sweeping strike and the astonishing rebounding force, Li Yuan spun around and thrust his long spear forward with rage, a flash of cold light aiming straight for his opponent''s face.


    "How is this possible, could he truly have Subtle Spirit? His spear momentum is too perfect," Mo Long thought with shock and anger, knowing he was much faster and more powerful than Li Yuan in terms of maximum burst.


    In life-and-death combat, moves and bursts don''t often allow enough time to build up power, making it difficult to reach the limit.


    The power one can unleash is the true measure of strength.


    Facing Li Yuan''s continuous bursts, Mo Long''s reflexive swing of his battle axe was still a beat too slow to block this thrust.


    "Hiss~" The long spear directly stabbed towards Mo Long''s face, but immediately red light streamed from Mo Long''s arms and chest to his face, forming a pale red mask that generated a tremendous resisting force.


    Causing Li Yuan''s long spear to feel as if it had struck a super hard alloy steel plate.


    "Origin Power?" Li Yuan''s expression shifted slightly, recognizing the force all too well.


    It was clearly Origin Power.


    But the Life Level of his opponent was clearly only 19.9, how could he also wield Origin Power?


    "Clang!" The mighty axe roared, parrying Li Yuan''s long spear and unleashing a terrifying force that made Li Yuan retreat.


    "Dammit."


    "He''s definitely Subtle Spirit! Absolutely a monstrous genius among the Seven Stars humans," Mo Long roared internally, convinced of Li Yuan''s supreme skill.


    Just now, had it not been for the protection of a little Origin Power carried by the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal, Li Yuan''s last thrust would have been enough to kill him.


    In a clash between powerhouses, life and death are separated by a fine line.


    "You really are strong, under normal circumstances, I would certainly have died by your hand, but today, you''re the one who''s going to die," Mo Long stared at Li Yuan and said, "Young Seven Stars human genius."


    "Logan, aren''t you coming?"


    Boom! Mo Long moved again, brandishing his twin axes as he charged towards Li Yuan once more.

 Chapter 211: 174 Battle of Life and Death (Extra for Nuan Yang 1314, the Golden Alliance Patron)_2

    "Here it comes." The dull voice arose as the massive Tianliang Clan Captain ''Logan'', wielding a combat saber, swiped Wu Qiong aside and leaped into the fray.


    The recent exchange of blows had been observed by Logan with a sense of awe.


    Mo Long, even with the aid of the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal, was still not a match for a Seventeen-rank Seven Stars human?


    What a Seven Stars human talent.


    On the battlefield, Wu Qiong bit down hard and furiously tried to stop Logan but was instantly thwarted by other Tianliang Clan warriors blocking the path.


    "Xu An!"


    "His name is Xu An? Such formidable strength! But can he win in a two-against-one?" Other martial artists were both shocked by Li Yuan''s terrifying power and filled with worry.


    Even if Logan and Mo Long were to deal with Li Yuan, the remaining Tianliang Clan warriors were more than enough to suppress them.


    Moreover.


    Everyone had witnessed Li Yuan''s fight with Mo Long; except for Wu Qiong, if anyone else rushed in, it might just backfire.


    "Li Yuan." Shi Xiao was worried inside, but refrained from rashly intervening, still trying her best to fight the other Tianliang Clan warriors.


    At that moment.


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan was already locked in combat with Mo Long and Logan, the two Tianliang Clan captains.


    "Pang~" "Clang! Clang!" S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Long spear, combat saber, and battle axe collided time after time, forcing Li Yuan to change tactics or even retreat with each exchange.


    "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Mo Long roared wildly, brandishing his twin axes, completely insane with the power of the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal for protection, he utterly disregarded defense, attacking full-force.


    "Huh!" Logan''s eyes were cold, and without a word, his combat saber was extremely swift and fierce.


    Both of them, in terms of technique, had achieved Perfection in the Third Stage, far from Li Yuan''s level.


    However, the outburst from the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal made their strength and speed approach that of a Prime Warrior.


    Read the latest fiction on M-VL-em|p,yr


    At the moment, it was an all-out attack with no defense.


    For a while, they actually had Li Yuan completely suppressed.


    "Stellar Illumination." Li Yuan''s eyes were battle-hardened, his long spear flowing continuously, the spear tip drawing countless stars, completely enveloping himself, followed by a total outburst.


    Each thrust was swift as lightning.


    Each thrust was naturally perfect, one faster than the last, holding off the mad onslaught from both powerful adversaries, like a beautiful painting that made people exclaim in awe.


    "What?"


    "His spear, flowing endlessly, can actually withstand a joint attack from the two of us?" Mo Long and Logan were also stunned.


    Was the subtlety of the spirit really that formidable?


    "Xu An!"


    "So terrifying."


    "Such spear technique." Both the human martial artists, like Wu Qiong, and the many Tianliang Clan warriors were astounded.


    Someone like Wu Qiong always considered herself to be among the top of the First Rank Warriors.


    But now? She saw a First Rank Warrior with much weaker physical quality but whose strength far surpassed her own.


    "If it were me against two, I''d probably have been injured or even dead by now." Wu Qiong held her breath, her heart stirring: "Maybe, I can survive today."


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan''s strength, has actually reached such a level?" Shi Xiao was most shocked, for she alone knew Li Yuan''s true details.


    Only half a year into the big leagues!


    ... "This spear technique?"


    "Subtlety of the spirit?"


    "Too perfect." In an outpost base hundreds of kilometers away, three of the base''s senior officers were astonished, for the level of such spear technique was far beyond their reach.


    "Li Yuan? No wonder he hid his real information." Liu Jing''s eyes held a faint glimmer.


    ...


    The so-called Unity of Heaven and Man is the spear technique unintentionally blending with the environment, resulting in an even faster and more ferocious burst of power.


    Therefore, unless the observer is of extremely high caliber, it is very difficult to discern from the exterior.


    If Li Yuan truly only possessed the Subtlety of the spirit in technique, under the full-force assault of two near-Prime Warriors, he might have already been killed.


    Hiss~ Hiss! It seemed defensive, but Li Yuan also sought opportunities to counterattack, only each attack was blocked by that blood-red glowing light.


    "Demon Blood Spirit Crystal."


    "It must be the special Tianliang Clan treasure ''Demon Blood Spirit Crystal'' mentioned in the documents," Li Yuan''s eyes were cold: "Once used, not only does it greatly enhance speed and strength, but that trace of Origin Power also forms a protective layer similar to an Origin Power Battle Suit."


    "However, this power is not infinite."


    "Hold on."


    "Until their power from the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal is drained." Li Yuan had already made a decision in his heart.


    "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Mo Long and Logan had gone completely mad, feeling that mysterious power inside them being rapidly consumed.


    Even more crazed.


    Colliding with each strike.


    Even if Li Yuan could defend perfectly, the terrifying impact still put a great strain on his body.


    Under the state of subtlety, the countless minute forces within his body, without any ''redundancy,'' were like a string pulled to its limit, while their power exploded to its maximum, they were also prone to snapping.


    In less than a minute of fighting, Li Yuan felt the changes in his body; this pace would definitely lead to injury.


    Whoosh!


    With another fierce slash from Logan, Li Yuan no longer took it head-on but retreated like lightning.


    He seemed extremely ragged.


    Boom! The combat saber furiously struck the ground, instantly tearing a metallic crack over three meters long.


    "He can''t hold on much longer."


    "Kill." Logan and Mo Long saw a glimmer of opportunity and chased after Li Yuan.


    "How?"


    "Can''t withstand it anymore?" Wu Qiong, Shi Xiao, and others were extremely worried and anxious.


    But the next moment.


    All those present, whether human martial artists or Tianliang Clan warriors, even Liu Jing and the young man in white Han Chong at the outpost base, witnessed a scene that stunned them.


    ...


    "Really didn''t want to burst forth under everyone''s eyes."

    "There''s no choice left," Li Yuan''s gaze was ice-cold as his mind stirred, thoroughly activating the Star Meridians inside his body. A small amount of Origin Power flowing within the Star Meridians surged into his Origin Power Battle Suit.

    Hum~ Without a sound, a seemingly thin layer of black battle garment had enveloped Li Yuan completely, arms, face, all fully covered.

    "What''s this?"

    "Origin Power Battle Suit?" Many human Martial Artists showed a look of shock and doubt in their eyes.

    Mo Long and Logan also noticed Li Yuan''s instant transformation, but they had no choice but to give it their all, hoping to kill Li Yuan.


    ```


    ```


    Boom! Li Yuan, having fully activated his Origin Power Battle Suit, did not hesitate to explode forth.


    ```


    ```


    "Whoosh!"


    ```


    ```


    His spear was like a shooting star, blocking the fierce slash from Logan''s axe, but the terrifying impact force that passed through the weapon seemed to have no effect on Li Yuan at all.


    ```


    ```


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! In the instant of colliding with sword and axe, Li Yuan had already twisted his body, swung his long spear, and burst forth at an even faster speed, furiously thrusting towards Logan.


    ```


    ```


    "So fast," Logan''s heart trembled, "How can he be so fast? Could such clashing and fighting have no effect on him?"


    ```

    In a regular life-and-death struggle, the stronger one needs to unload force, unable to continuously unleash deadly moves.


    ```


    ```


    But how could he know that with the Origin Power Battle Suit, Li Yuan could easily unload more than ninety percent of the impact force.


    ```


    ```


    The battle suit''s defense has a limit.


    ```


    ```


    But at least, attacks from a Prime Warrior are far from reaching its limits.


    ```


    ```


    "Clang!"


    ```


    ```


    A battle axe swung down fiercely, deflecting Li Yuan''s spear thrust downwards.


    ```


    ```


    "I want to see how many spears you can block," Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold, his murderous intent piercing.


    ```


    ```


    Boom!


    ```


    ```


    With the Origin Power Battle Suit protecting him, Li Yuan finally stopped worrying about defense and focused solely on attack¡ªstabbing, sweeping, slashing, lashing... one move after another in quick succession.


    ```


    ```


    One against two.


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan, exploding with his full strength, quickly gained the upper hand.


    ```


    ```


    Each of his moves didn''t seem that fast, but the relentless succession of strikes gave no pause, and the repeated clashes with the two experts seemed to have no effect on his body.


    ```


    ```


    In the blink of an eye, Logan and Mo Long were at a complete disadvantage.


    ```


    ```


    "Our attacks, they have no effect on him," Mo Long and Logan grew increasingly panicked as they fought.


    ```


    ```


    This scene also stunned everyone around, as Li Yuan''s sudden burst of strength was terrifying. Perhaps his strength and speed hadn''t changed, but his overall power definitely increased more than twofold.


    ```


    ```


    However, even if Li Yuan''s strikes occasionally landed on them, the protection of that blood-red glow made it difficult to inflict a fatal injury.


    ```


    ```


    Suddenly.


    ```


    ```


    Mo Long''s life force rapidly declined, the thin strands of blood-red light flowing over his body completely dissipated.


    ```


    ```


    His complexion changed.


    ```


    ```


    The power of the Demon Spirit Blood Crystal was completely exhausted.


    ```


    ```


    "Die!"


    ```


    ```


    How could Li Yuan miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? His long spear, like a dragon, flicked away Logan''s combat saber that tried to block him.


    ```


    ```


    Whoosh!


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan''s Spear Momentum suddenly exploded, a dazzling streak of light swept by, directly breaching the defense of the two battle axes, the spear tip carrying astonishing twisting power.


    ```


    ```


    Pfft!


    ```


    ```


    The spear tip punctured through the last layer of soft armor protection, stabbing straight into Mo Long''s throat, with the terrible power contained in the spearhead erupting, causing his neck to burst open.


    ```


    ```


    The head flew off.


    ```


    ```


    Mo Long, the captain of the Tianliang Clan, dead!


    ```


    ```


    Poom~ The headless, short and stout body fell with a thud, and the two battle axes fell from his hands, heavily hitting the ground.


    ```


    ```


    "And now for you," Li Yuan''s gaze shifted, looking towards the burly man Logan, who was now overwhelmed with shock and rage, even a hint of fear visible in his eyes.


    ```


    ```


    Boom!


    ```


    ```


    Logan''s figure retreated explosively, then turned, like a black lightning bolt heading towards the entrance of the hall.


    ```


    ```


    He actually ran away.


    ```


    ```


    "Too horrifying, he actually has an Origin Power Battle Suit that could be used at the First Rank, definitely a monstrous genius highly valued by the higher echelons of the Seven Stars human race," Logan thought, filled with terror.


    ```


    ```


    Just now, even fighting together they couldn''t defeat Li Yuan, and even Mo Long had died.


    ```


    ```


    Alone, how could he fight?


    ```


    ```


    "Whoosh!" A Flying Axe streaked across the Vast Sky, furiously chopping towards Logan as he fled desperately for his life.


    ```

 Chapter 213: 175: Clue to the Treasure (Extra 1)

    This Flying Axe was kicked into action by Li Yuan, having belonged to Mo Long who left it behind.


    "Boom~"


    Logan, after all, was a master at his craft, with an astonishing combat awareness. He swung his saber in a backhand stroke, managing to block the Flying Axe. The terrifying force of the impact instead helped him to escape even faster, using the momentum to his advantage.


    "These Tianliang Clan warriors, they really are decisive," Li Yuan remarked with a slight frown, opting not to pursue.


    The opponent fled too quickly.


    Logan had started to flee even before Mo Long was completely dead.


    As a Level 19.9 powerhouse, bolstered by the strength contained within the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal that hadn''t yet run out, if he truly wished to flee, Li Yuan would not be able to catch up.


    This was due to the difference in physical quality; after all, Li Yuan''s Life Level was only at 16.8.


    Furthermore.


    If Li Yuan were to chase after Logan, the other human martial artists inside the great hall would be in trouble, given that there were still nearly 40 Tianliang Clan warriors present.


    "Run quickly."


    "Mo Long is dead, even Captain Logan has fled."


    "That damn Logan, he fled for his life without even warning us first," other enraged and shocked Tianliang Clan powerhouses said, each seeking to save themselves.


    Even though these Tianliang Clan warriors were still suppressing the other human martial artists.


    But with the near-Prime Warrior strength that Li Yuan had displayed, he could probably sweep through all of them on his own.


    "Thinking of escaping now? Too late!" Li Yuan''s eyes were cold as ice, and with a swift movement, he pounced toward the Tianliang Clan powerhouses attempting to flee towards the hall''s passageway.


    Not having killed Logan, he had already lost a substantial amount of Spiritual Nature nourishment¡ªhow could he let the other Tianliang Clan warriors get away?


    "Hold them back."


    "Don''t let these bastards escape."


    "Kill!" Wu Qiong, Shi Xiao, and other human martial artists were heartened upon seeing this. They fought ferociously against the numerous Tianliang Clan warriors, preventing them from escaping.


    "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfftch!"


    Having already revealed his Origin Power Battle Suit, Li Yuan no longer held back and erupted with full strength.


    A Level 18 Tianliang Clan warrior? One spear thrust!


    A Level 19 needed two or three thrusts.


    These Tianliang Clan warriors were exceptionally strong, each capable of matching a High Level Warrior.


    But before a fully unleashed Li Yuan, they were no match at all.


    Like a terrifying whirlwind, Li Yuan killed over thirty Tianliang Clan warriors in an extremely short time, and one after another, the Tianliang Clan warriors fell.


    Blood was everywhere, the scene was a complete mess.


    Li Yuan was killing frenetically.


    At the same time.


    "[You have continuously killed Entry Rank creatures; Spiritual Nature nourishment obtained, Spiritual Awakening Level reached 29.2%]"


    "[You¡­ Spiritual Awakening Level reached 29.3%]" The Divine Palace panel kept flashing notifications.


    ¡­


    A few minutes later.


    The great hall gradually quieted down, save for two Tianliang Clan warriors whom Li Yuan had deliberately crippled, the rest had been wiped out.


    The hall was now completely shrouded in the stench of blood.


    However, the human martial artists who had survived didn''t care about that at this moment.


    All were sitting on the ground, strewn with rubble and blood, panting for breath.


    Such intense life-and-death battles severely drain both the spirit and physical strength.


    In their rest.


    These human martial artists couldn''t help but look towards the black-clothed figure standing in the center of the great hall, their eyes filled with unusual respect and reverence.


    "Xu An?"


    "Too powerful."


    "If we''re able to survive this time, we have to thank this warrior Xu An."


    "With such formidable skills, he''s probably going to become a Prime Warrior before long." Many human martial artists whispered among themselves.


    In this battle, Li Yuan had showcased incredibly formidable strength.


    He practically swept through the entire Tianliang Clan''s squad by himself, including two great experts.


    His combat power was almost on par with some newly advanced Prime Warriors.


    Such a terrifyingly powerful First Rank martial artist was something most of the human martial artists present had never seen before.


    Time passed.


    Most martial artists felt gratitude towards Li Yuan and, after a brief rest, they got up to clean the battlefield, taking care of the bodies of the fallen human martial artists.


    They also piled up a large number of Tianliang Clan warrior corpses, meanwhile disassembling their belongings.


    The atmosphere was still quite oppressive.


    Since Li Yuan had arrived only in the last stage, and the most devastating casualties at the Observation Point No. 19 occurred when it was ambushed by the Tianliang Clan.


    The casualties were extremely heavy.


    Hu! Hu!


    Wu Qiong, Shi Xiao, and the person in charge of the observation point all approached Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan had put away his Origin Power Battle Suit and revealed his face again.


    "Warrior Xu An, thank you for your lifesaving grace. If it weren''t for you rushing over, we would have probably all perished," said Wu Qiong with a very humble attitude and extreme politeness.


    In the past, she was very proud when facing other First Rank martial artists.


    But facing Li Yuan, she couldn''t muster that pride.


    "No need, coming to the rescue was my responsibility, it''s a pity I arrived late, otherwise the loss wouldn''t be this big," Li Yuan shook his head, feeling somewhat guilty.


    If he''d arrived ten minutes earlier, at least dozens of lives could have been saved.


    "Coming so swiftly is already very commendable," Wu Qiong shook her head, "Our squad was able to arrive immediately because we happened to be preparing to rest at Observation Point No. 19."


    "Besides our squad and you, the other squads and reinforcements from the base have yet to arrive," Wu Qiong said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    In this almost wild Star Realm, these observation points situated on the edge of the frontiers of outpost territories were extremely dangerous to begin with.


    Moreover, the precise attack of the Tianliang Clan on this place showed that the Tianliang Clan had probably scouted the area long ago.


    "Shi Xiao, are you alright?" Li Yuan looked at Shi Xiao, who had disheveled hair and sweat on her forehead, completely lacking the elegance and calm she had at the school.


    "I''m fine, just some minor injuries," Shi Xiao shook her head, "A bit of rest should be enough."


    "You know each other?" Wu Qiong said in surprise.


    "Yes, Captain, I didn''t tell you before," Shi Xiao smiled, "Xu An and I are good friends."


    "Oh? Good friends?" Wu Qiong showed a knowing smile, "No wonder Xu An first rescued you as soon as he arrived."


    "We really are just friends," Shi Xiao explained.


    "Okay, you two chat," Wu Qiong smiled, "Warrior Xu An, I and the person in charge will go interrogate those two Tianliang Clan members first. In a short while, the reinforcements from the base should arrive."


    "Hmm," Li Yuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the situation inside the hall, "I''ll first go to the observation point on alert. One managed to escape, so we still need to be cautious about whether the Tianliang Clan has any follow-up reinforcements."


    "Alright, then we''ll leave that to you," Wu Qiong naturally agreed.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan held the long spear in his hand and walked toward the outside of the hall, followed by Shi Xiao, who took the initiative to stay close behind him.


    Shi Xiao stared at Li Yuan walking in front of her.


    For no apparent reason, Shi Xiao felt a surge of excitement in her heart. Although she was actually more than two years older than Li Yuan, at this moment, she experienced an inexplicable sense of security.


    "Li Yuan," Shi Xiao silently recited in her mind.


    Not long ago, in the midst of that frenzied battle, she had nearly been killed by the Tianliang Clan warrior ''Mo Long'' wielding dual axes.


    At that time, she had felt complete despair in her heart.


    At the critical moment,


    it was Li Yuan who arrived in time to save her, and it was he who, with his own strength, turned the tide of the battle, sweeping through the entire Tianliang Clan team and bringing an impact to her heart beyond imagination.


    Moreover, she had had a favorable impression of Li Yuan even before.


    Sigh! Sigh!


    The two of them turned through several corridors and halls, walked out of the tunnel through the mountain, and arrived at the outskirts of the observation point.


    The area was very quiet; if not for the corpses left behind from the previous fights, one would never have known that a fierce battle had just unfolded.


    "Xu An, thank you," Shi Xiao said sincerely.


    "Senior Sister, there''s no one else around here, no need to be so polite," Li Yuan said. "How are you feeling? You''re sure you''re not injured, right?"


    "No," Shi Xiao shook her head, sighing, "It''s just that in our martial artist squad, the group of older brothers and sisters I just got to know¡­ in the blink of an eye, more than half of them are dead."


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    At school, Senior Sister Shi Xiao seemed brash and acted somewhat domineering.


    But after all, she was only 21 years old. A fierce battle like today, with its drastic ups and downs, was probably a rare experience for her.


    "Venturing through the Star Realm, there are always casualties," Li Yuan spoke in a low voice, his gaze drifting towards the distant forests. "What we can do is to strive to make ourselves stronger."


    "Strive to survive," Li Yuan said, looking at Senior Sister Shi Xiao.


    "Yes, survive," Shi Xiao replied, looking at Li Yuan and revealing a hint of a smile.


    ...


    In the woods.


    Whoosh! Logan, with the combat saber slung on his back, dared not pause for a second.


    He fled at an astonishing speed.


    Occasionally, he would follow along rivers, trying his best to wash away any scent that might linger on him or intentionally cross some cliffs.


    "The Seven Stars human race will definitely send flying vehicles for support, and they might come to track me down," he thought.


    "I can''t stop."


    "Once I''m caught up with, just that Seven Stars human genius alone would be enough to kill me," Logan thought anxiously, his mind racing: "I need to avoid the main routes and take a detour."


    At the same time,


    he was filled with anxiety and vexation: "Not only did I fail to complete the mission, but my whole squad has been wiped out, even Mo Long is dead... now it''s just me left to go back alive."


    Only himself left after the entire subordinate force was wiped out?


    He couldn''t even imagine how Lord Xue Shu would punish him upon his return.


    But he dared not flee.


    This was the Mingxu Star Realm. Escaping alone and evading the Tianliang Clan''s high level punishment might be easy, but then what?


    "As long as I survive, as long as I don''t die,"


    "there''s still hope," Logan gritted his teeth, a tinge of resentment flashing in his eyes: "And it''s all your fault, you Seven Stars human genius. Wouldn''t it be nice if you hadn''t come?"


    "I hope you get the information and come here in time,"


    "at which point Lord Xue Shu is sure to slay him," Logan thought secretly. |em|p,yr


    At this point, it was highly probable that the information was leaked, and he could only pray for the best outcome.


    Whoosh!


    Logan continued onwards.


    ...


    Time passed.


    Another martial artist squad arrived for support at observation post number 19.


    Then, the ''base rescue team'' consisting of three flying vehicles finally reached the area.


    After initially understanding the situation, they began to help clean up the battlefield, clear the corpses, sweep up the rubbish at the observation post, and rebuild the heavy firepower defense system, among other things...


    However, these newly arrived human martial artists, drivers, technicians, and others all looked at Li Yuan with a completely different gaze.


    They had all heard from the surviving warriors about just how appalling the strength of ''Xu An the Warrior'' in front of them was.


    When the time reached the evening of January 13th on Blue Star,


    observation post number 19 had started to resume operation.


    The sky still held the sun hanging above, for the Mingxu Star Realm did not distinguish between day and night, it was always daytime.


    "Warrior Xu An."


    "Senior Liu Jing is requesting to speak with you, regarding clues about Heavenly Materials Treasures," the person in charge of the observation point ran up to Li Yuan with great respect.


    "Clues about Heavenly Materials Treasures? Great, let''s go meet Senior Liu Jing," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled.


    Martial artists roaming the Star Realm, if they wanted to seize a huge fortune, usually had two ways to do so.


    The first was to explore and discover spirit lands or large veins with available resources.


    The second was to acquire some Heavenly Materials Treasures, many of which were highly valuable.


    During more than ten days in the Mingxu Star Realm previously, Li Yuan had been constantly dueling with strong warriors from alien races, honing himself.


    Treasure? He hadn''t found a single one.


    Heavenly Materials Treasures were not so easy to come by, but now, there was a clue.


    "If it''s enough to provoke the Tianliang Clan to send a large squad to kill, and even to lay siege to an observation point," Li Yuan thought, "then the value of this treasure must be extremely high."


    Heavenly Materials Treasures, though generally referred to as Third Rank treasures, also have their distinctions.


    High-value ones like the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal,


    and low-value ones like the Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccation.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan followed the person in charge of the observation point and walked through the interior, which had been initially cleared up and was no longer a mess, reaching a conference room inside.


    In the projected hologram, the image of the old man in blue, Liu Jing, was displayed.


    "Senior Liu," Li Yuan bowed slightly.


    "Xu An, thank you for this time. We will record your contribution, report it," Liu Jing said with a smile: "Once the Combat Assessment is over, there will be a series of corresponding rewards."


    "Hmm, okay," Li Yuan nodded slightly. The whole human civilization had a very well-established system of merit.


    "Another matter." S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "That is, through the interrogation of the Tianliang Clan captives and questioning of our martial artist who fled back here," Liu Jing said seriously: "We can almost confirm that about 300 kilometers from observation point number 19,"


    "in the area we''ve marked as Flying Serpent Valley, Heavenly Materials Treasures have likely emerged."


    "The specific type, number, value, and whether it''s mature enough to be utilized are all unclear right now."


    "Whether you''re willing to take the risk is for you to decide," Liu Jing said.

 Chapter 214: 176: Spiritual Awakening Level 30%

    ```


    "300 kilometers from Observation Point 19? That far?" Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, "Senior Liu, how far is it from Outpost Base 3?"


    Observation Point 19 was already over 650 kilometers from the Outpost Base.


    "Over 900 kilometers," Liu Jing stated directly.


    Li Yuan fell into thought; 900 kilometers was neither far nor near.


    "I must remind you that the area around Flying Serpent Valley is dominated by a very powerful group known as ''Flying Serpent,''" Liu Jing said. "Although we haven''t detected any Second Rank Alien Race members, there are a large number of powerful aliens above level 18, and the signal transmission is very bad in that area due to its special environment."


    Listening carefully, Li Yuan spoke, "Senior Liu Jing, I need more detailed information about Flying Serpent Valley and everything about the interrogations you''ve conducted."


    "No problem," Liu Jing nodded.


    Time passed.


    With Liu Jing''s narrative, supplemented with some text and video materials, Li Yuan completely understood the situation.


    The Tianliang Clan''s attack on Observation Point 19 was not a planned invasion, but was instead caused by an exploration team led by someone named ''Wang Zhou.''


    The exploration team usually surveyed hydrology and geography to find suitable locations for resource development for Martial Artists.


    The team Wang Zhou led had discovered a special area near Flying Serpent Valley. Before they could confirm what it was, they encountered warriors from the Tianliang Clan.


    After killing one Tianliang Clan warrior, the five-member team decisively retreated but were immediately pursued and attacked.


    In the end, only Wang Zhou managed to escape, and during the intense battle, his smart ring was damaged.


    Because of this, he was unable to report back immediately.


    Eventually, he reached Observation Point 19, thinking he was safe, but then the entire Observation Point came under attack... until Li Yuan arrived.


    "The smart ring was damaged?" Li Yuan nodded slightly, not finding it strange as such incidents were common.


    "Li Yuan."


    "According to the intelligence brought by Wang Zhou, there are suspected Heavenly Materials Treasures in Flying Serpent Valley," Liu Jing said solemnly projecting his image. "And from the questioning of the two captives, there were similar testimonies regarding the exploration of ''treasures,'' but they could not be completely confirmed."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Additionally, we have confirmed from the mouths of the two captives that there were over 200 Tianliang Clan warriors gathered this time," Liu Jing said. "The strongest among them, named Xue Shu, is a Core Disciple from one of the three major sacred places of the Tianliang Clan."


    "200 warriors?" Li Yuan''s heart grew cold, realizing that if they were all as powerful as the ones he had just encountered, it was indeed a very strong force.


    "Senior, what is a Core Disciple of the sacred land?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "The three major sacred lands of the Tianliang Clan are somewhat akin to our human civilization''s Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall, and Core Disciples are the elite of the younger generation in these sacred lands," Liu Jing explained earnestly. "Somewhat like the students of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, they are few in number, but highly skilled with many life-preserving tactics."


    "So they''re not up to Level 20?" Li Yuan inquired.


    "Smart," Liu Jing smiled.


    Li Yuan nodded to himself.


    It looked like these Core Disciples of the sacred lands were equivalent to the young geniuses of the Tianliang Clan, like himself.


    But their Life Level most likely would not reach Level 20.


    After all, once the Life Level reached 20, passage through the Star Realm''s gateways became impossible.


    Any civilization would hardly be willing to leave such elites confined to one Star Realm forever.


    Just how skilled they were remained to be seen.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Over 900 kilometers is too far," Liu Jing said. "We, as Prime Warriors, cannot commit to an action for a treasure so uncertain... And if we were to send ordinary Martial Artists, the entire Outpost Base 3 only has a few hundred free Martial Artists in total."


    "In terms of strength, our Seven Stars human civilization is indeed not as strong as Tianliang Civilization in the Mingxu Star Realm," Liu Jing admitted.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    It wasn''t that the Seven Stars human civilization was weaker than the Tianliang Civilization.


    It was just that each civilization had different focuses and human civilization did not place much importance on the Ruins Star Realm, coupled with various regulations and constraints.


    As the base commander, Liu Jing and his peers naturally had limited forces they could mobilize.


    "The other two main officers and I have been watching your battle all along," Liu Jing said. "Your strength is worth hundreds of ordinary Martial Artists... If you go alone, the target is smaller, and there is a chance of success."


    "But it is extremely dangerous," he added.


    "So, the decision is yours," Liu Jing said. "To go may yield great rewards, but is also fraught with danger, lots of Flying Serpents and hidden Tianliang Clan powerhouses."


    "There''s even a possibility of encountering a Second Rank Alien Race," Liu Jing did not deny.


    Li Yuan silently pondered.


    Liu Jing said no more; if the three great Prime Warriors dared not move, then the strongest combatant at Outpost Base 3 was Li Yuan.


    Given Li Yuan''s Level 6 ranking in the Starfire Martial Hall, Liu Jing couldn''t command him forcefully.


    After a while,


    "I''ll go take a look," Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of a smile. "I''ll see if there''s a chance, and if I don''t find it, I will return."


    "Good," Liu Jing nodded. "Wang Zhou''s smart ring, though unable to connect to the network due to damage, still stored some videos and navigation records... I''ll transfer them to you."


    "Good."


    ...


    Back at Outpost Base 3, Liu Jing ended his communication with Li Yuan, pondered for a moment, and then used a secure line to contact Li Yang.


    The line connected quickly.


    "Li Yang, Li Yuan has made his decision and is embarking on the exploration," Liu Jing reported directly. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Good, I understand," Li Yang''s deep voice came through the communication. "Please, the secret protection plan is to be activated only as a last resort."


    "Yes."


    ...


    Li Yuan didn''t hurry to set out; considering the back-to-back intense battles, he was vastly tired and exhausted.


    ```

 Chapter 215 : 176: Spiritual Awakening Level 30%_2

    Therefore,


    Li Yuan stayed in the initially cleared ''Observation Point 19,'' finding a quiet ''resting room.''


    Upon closing the door, there were no surveillance devices inside the resting room.


    "Let''s begin." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes and silently cultivated the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."


    "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" "All Heavens'' Stars", was something Li Yuan had to practice every day.


    Even when he was in The Wilderness for over ten days, he would find a safe cave to cultivate in.


    Of course, the most important reason was that Li Yuan''s spiritual power was now strong enough.


    It allowed him to focus on his cultivation, while also keeping a vigilant watch over his surroundings.


    Time passed by.


    Before he knew it, four hours had passed, and Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling full of spiritual power and free of fatigue, as if there was an inexhaustible strength within his body.


    "The two methods complementing each other are indeed formidable," Li Yuan thought to himself, flexing his arms slightly.


    All the minor injuries he had sustained during the fierce battle with the two experts were now fully repaired.


    He stood up. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It''s time to get ready to go," said Li Yuan as he left the resting room and found the person in charge of the observation point.


    He replenished some food and drinking water, all of which he put in his backpack, taking up only a small portion of the space.


    At this time, Shi Xiao and Wu Qiong received the news and had already rushed over.


    "You''re really going?" Shi Xiao''s eyes were full of worry as she couldn''t help but say, "I''ve checked the information, that area is very dangerous, and now there''s a Tianliang Clan team there too."


    "It''s still not beyond 1000 kilometers from the outpost base," Li Yuan said with a smile, "What we consider dangerous, maybe the Tianliang Clan are also trembling with fear, worrying that our Prime Warriors might come to kill them."


    "Don''t worry," he reassured.


    "As long as I don''t encounter a Second Rank Alien Race, there aren''t many who can injure me," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Alright," said Shi Xiao, staring at Li Yuan and then suddenly said through gritted teeth, "I''ll wait for you here at Observation Point 19."


    Li Yuan was taken aback, glanced at Sister Shi Xiao''s face, and then said with a smile, "Alright, I will definitely be back within ten days."


    Having said that,


    Li Yuan deliberately avoided looking into Sister Shi Xiao''s eyes, gripped the Black Chen Spear, and strode outwards from the observation point.


    Shi Xiao subconsciously followed him out, accompanying him all the way to the perimeter of the observation point.


    "Sister, go back," Li Yuan waved his hand, his figure moved, and he swiftly disappeared into the vast Wilderness.


    On the hilltop,


    "You must come back alive," Shi Xiao murmured to herself, and before she knew it, Wu Qiong appeared by her side.


    "Don''t worry, with Xu An''s strength, he''ll definitely come back alive," Wu Qiong said softly.


    Shi Xiao nodded slightly, and then suddenly said, "Captain, am I too weak? If my strength were stronger, I could''ve accompanied him there."


    "Weak?" Wu Qiong was initially stunned, then smiled and said, "You are so young yet so strong, and you have Fourth Level skills... you will definitely be an extremely powerful Prime Warrior in the future."


    "You are already very outstanding," she reassured.


    "It''s just that, Xu An is too exceptional," Wu Qiong sighed softly.


    Wu Qiong didn''t say some things out loud, but with her vast experience? She could already roughly guess their identities from the relationship between Shi Xiao and Li Yuan.


    They must at least be core students from one of the top five prestigious schools.


    Perhaps students from one of the top three elite martial schools.


    ...


    Stepping into The Wilderness once again,


    Li Yuan didn''t follow the map''s guidance to head directly towards ''Flying Serpent Valley.''


    "Heavenly Materials Treasures."


    "If I want to treat my uncle quickly, I will have to take some risks," Li Yuan understood very clearly in his heart: "It''s going to cost at least a billion Blue Star Coins."


    "With my strength, even considering national merit rewards and finding resource points normally, accumulating a billion Blue Star Coins would probably take several years of life and death struggles," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Money, not so easy to earn.


    Navigating the Star Realm, a slight misstep could lead to death.


    But Heavenly Materials Treasures, they are a shortcut... With good luck, a single treasure could be worth billions of Blue Star Coins.


    Such incidents are not rare within the Seven Stars human civilization; occasionally, one might hear news of Prime Warriors or even First Rank Martial Artists striking it rich overnight.


    This was the main reason Li Yuan was willing to take risks.


    Secondly, the dangers of Flying Serpent Valley were overall within Li Yuan''s tolerance range.


    "Riches are sought amidst danger, but can also be lost there, a one in ten chance of gaining, nine in ten chance of losing," Li Yuan recited silently in his heart.


    These were the words of caution from his uncle, Li Changzhou, before Li ventured to seek his fortune in the life-or-death Star Realm.


    One may take risks.


    But don''t risk for the sake of risking, and certainly don''t gamble on those one-in-ten or even lower odds benefits.


    Too dangerous means pushing oneself towards death.


    "With my current strength, as long as I don''t encounter a Second Rank Alien Race, I should basically be able to protect myself," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But according to the current signs, the likelihood of a Second Rank Alien Race appearing in the Flying Serpent Valley exceeds 20%."


    "It could be due to the Tianliang Clan''s Prime Warriors or maybe a Second Rank native life form born in the Flying Serpent Valley."


    A 20% chance was already very high.


    "Moreover, the known Tianliang Clan blood guard is stronger than those two team leaders," Li Yuan thought to himself, "He might be a match for me."


    And there were a large number of Tianliang Clan warriors.


    It could be said that with Li Yuan''s current strength, venturing in was actually dangerous.


    "What I need to do is to be able to survive in front of an Initial Rank Second Rank Alien Race," Li Yuan''s eyes shimmered with a hint of light, "Even to the point of being able to counter-kill."


    Li Yuan''s gaze fell on a display of information on the Divine Palace panel:


    Spiritual Awakening Level 29.7% (Current Limit 30%)


    ..."As long as my Spiritual Awakening Level rapidly reaches 30%, followed by another Origin Power infusion, my Physical Quality will definitely surge immensely," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    An explosive increase in Life Level would naturally result in a significant improvement in strength and speed, and Li Yuan''s capabilities would skyrocket.


    The only worry.


    Was that Life Level shouldn''t increase too much at once, exceeding Level 20, or it would be unjustified.


    "The previous two times, one resulted in an increase of about 0.7 levels, the other an increase of about 1.4 levels," Li Yuan thought to himself, "The third time should not exceed 2 levels."


    Even if his Physical Quality truly increased several-folds, resulting in a 3 level rise, Li Yuan wouldn''t reach Level 20.


    So, Li Yuan wasn''t very worried.


    Whoosh!


    With a swift movement, Li Yuan stepped into The Wilderness. His spiritual power, now back at its peak, was fully extended outward, fiercely sensing the presence of alien life forms.


    ..."Puff!" "Puff!" Spear Technique flared, one after another, the beast-like creatures resembling ''wild boars'' from the Alien Race fell continuously under Li Yuan''s spear.


    "[You have consecutively killed Entry Rank creatures, obtaining Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 29.8%]"


    ...


    And so, within the big picture, Li Yuan headed towards ''Flying Serpent Valley'' across The Wilderness.


    Meanwhile, he kept on slaughtering, continuously seizing Spiritual Nourishment.


    Finally.


    Six hours later, by a large river approximately 100 kilometers from the outer area of Flying Serpent Valley,


    After killing more than a dozen Feather Serpents with Life Levels over 15,


    "[You have consecutively killed Entry Rank creatures, obtaining Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 30%]"


    "[Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 30%, initiating the third Origin Power infusion]" Two consecutive Divine Palace prompts flashed by.


    "It''s enough," Li Yuan''s eyes brightened, and then he felt the strange changes occurring on the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    "Activate Star Meridian," With a thought, Li Yuan controlled the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, also making sure to control the Origin Power infusion.


    He dashed towards the distance.


    A kilometer away, there was a cliffside cave that Li Yuan had preliminarily inquired into as relatively safe.

 Chapter 216 : 177: Sudden Increase in Strength

    Hurrying along the river path, covering a kilometer of distance.


    Li Yuan quickly arrived at the base of a tall mountain.


    The massive cliff face looked as though it had been cleaved by a combat saber, with hardly any vegetation growing on it.


    About forty to fifty meters above the ground, a faint cave entrance could be seen.


    This was the "natural retreat sanctuary" that Li Yuan had discovered not long ago.


    Whoosh! With a light leap, Li Yuan rapidly scaled the cliff face, his feet tapping off protruding stones like a nimble monkey, and soon he sprang into the cave.


    The entrance of the cave was not large, about two to three meters high and four to five meters wide, but the interior was quite spacious, extending dozens of meters deep and, aside from some dust and debris, was relatively clean.


    "This is the place," Li Yuan scanned his surroundings, extending his spiritual power to its full capacity to confirm there were no other lifeforms.


    He moved to a deeper part of the cave and sat down cross-legged.


    "Origin Power infusion," Li Yuan''s mind quickly calmed, striving to enter the state of "Unity of Heaven and Man" while also letting go of his suppression of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    The next moment.


    Boom! The Star Meridian began to involuntarily circulate, as an endless surge of Origin Power wildly poured into Li Yuan''s body.


    Turbulent and billowing.


    The purity and ferocity of the Origin Power were at least ten times stronger than the second time, placing an astonishing pressure on the Perfected Star Meridian within Li Yuan''s body.


    "Such pure Origin Power?" Li Yuan held his breath, slightly shocked in his heart.


    Fortunately, Li Yuan''s spiritual power was also much stronger than the last time he had undergone an Origin Power infusion, or else it would have been difficult to control in such a short time.


    "Life Evolution."


    "Body," with a thought from Li Yuan, he could feel within the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, strands of golden mist forming out of thin air.


    This mist drifted down the stairs, pouring into the ground of the first layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace... in reality, it was infusing into the limbs and bones of Li Yuan''s body.


    "This golden mist must be a strange power," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Without its integration into my body, I wouldn''t be able to digest such a vast influx of Origin Power in such a short time."


    Now that Li Yuan had become a level L6 member of the Starfire Martial Hall, with increased access to the database.


    He had also looked through many records on treasures that improve the Physical Quality of one''s body and the spiritual world.


    Although he found no information about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    He had many speculations based on a trove of records.


    "Normally, guiding Origin Power throughout the body, the muscles, bones, and flesh cannot quickly ingest and absorb it," Li Yuan silently reflected.


    It''s like eating, you can''t eat more when you''re full.


    Like Li Yuan practicing "All Heavens'' Stars," or other Martial Artists practicing Cultivation Methods, there is a limit each day to how much one''s Physical Quality can be enhanced... Improving the Skill Realm and tapping into the body''s potential, in a sense, is like increasing one''s capacity to eat.


    But there are always limits.


    And some Heavenly Materials Treasures that can enhance Physical Quality in an extremely short time essentially transform the body fundamentally.


    Therefore, they are extremely precious and exorbitantly expensive.


    Without question, the core of the "Origin Power infusion" brought about by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is not the guidance of Origin Power, but that this mysterious "golden mist" can digest such an enormous amount of Origin Power. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s entire body¡ªmuscles, blood, bones, membranes, internal organs¡ªbegan an all-encompassing evolution and enhancement.


    "[Your Life Level has been raised from 16.8 to 16.9.]"


    "[Your strength has been raised from¡­]" Series of prompts swiftly flashed across the Divine Palace interface.


    This Transformation saw Origin Power merge into every part of Li Yuan''s body, inducing dramatic changes and continuous Transformation.


    This physical Evolution represented a complete reorganization of the body, bringing about pain, yet Li Yuan''s spiritual power easily withstood it.


    Moreover.


    Most of Li Yuan''s attention wasn''t focused on the bodily Transformation; his main consciousness had already entered the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with his spiritual form reaching the second layer.


    Hum~ Hum~


    Inside the vast palace, Li Yuan sensed the golden mist that kept forming in the void.


    "Initially, I thought these mists were inherent to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, always present in the second layer," Li Yuan mused, "But now, it seems that''s not entirely the case."


    "Could it be that the golden mist is some ''Life Soul Substance'' that the Mind Spirit Divine Palace mysteriously captures after I kill those of the Alien Race?" A notion suddenly flickered through Li Yuan''s mind.


    Thinking it over, he found the idea very plausible.


    This could perfectly explain why the effect of the Origin Power infusion jumped leaps and bounds with each attempt¡ªfrom the first to the third¡ªbecause the Alien Race members Li Yuan killed became increasingly stronger and more numerous.


    "But why can it only be after killing members of an Alien Race?" Li Yuan also puzzled, "And why isn''t there a prompt for nourishing Spiritual Nature when I inquire into human Martial Artists?"


    At least, Li Yuan was still unclear about the criteria the Mind Spirit Divine Palace used.


    "Let''s begin," with a thought from Li Yuan''s spiritual form, a portion of the copious mist immediately separated.


    It descended upon Li Yuan''s spiritual form.


    Boom!


    Instantly, just like the first two experiences, Li Yuan''s consciousness grew dim and fuzzy, the surrounding spiritual world turned into an endless Dark Space.


    "Life Star space," with Li Yuan''s enhanced spiritual power, his consciousness remained clear.


    Within the vast and expansive Life Star space, a trail of starlight flickered in the endless darkness.


    This was the "Star Meridian," awakened by Li Yuan, with over a hundred thousand Life Stars illuminating, providing some light to the Life Star space.


    Hum~


    Strands of starlight appeared, shining from the depths of the dark Starry Sky, subtly nourishing Li Yuan''s spiritual consciousness.


    "[Your soul has been nourished, spiritual power increased from 27.0 to 27.1.]"


    Li Yuan''s spiritual power also began to undergo a Transformation and enhancement.

 Chapter 217 : 177: Sudden Increase in Strength_2

    ...


    As Li Yuan''s Origin Power entered his body and his strength continually transformed,


    In Blue Star Xia Country, at Kunlun Martial University, the time was already the morning of January 14th.


    Deep within the villa complex that belonged to the Sixth Institute,


    "Dean Hai, as per your instructions, I have arranged for Li Yuan to face as many life-and-death trials as possible," Li Yang said with a slight bow.


    He had just reported Li Yuan''s situation in the Mingxu Star Realm to Dean Hai.


    "Hmm."


    "A treasure of extremely high value, possibly a Heavenly Materials Treasure, would be enough to attract his interest," Dean Hai said indifferently, "Li Yuan places great importance on his family. He wants to heal his uncle''s body as soon as possible and is unlikely to give up this opportunity easily."


    "Dean,"


    Unable to contain himself, Li Yang said, "Could this be too much too soon? Normal trials of life and death are already tests, there''s no need for him to take this risk."


    "What risk? Worried that he might encounter a Second Rank Alien Race?" Dean Hai asked indifferently.


    "Li Yuan is strong, but if he encounters a Second Rank Alien Race, even with covert protection, it would be extremely dangerous," Li Yang shook his head and said, "Wandering the Star Realm, death often hangs by a thread, and protection has its limits; aid might not arrive in time during critical moments."


    He had been training Li Yuan, and sometimes he was reckless, but in actuality, he was quite rational.


    He wouldn''t truly take major risks.


    "The path, is one he chooses for himself."


    "Having educated him for over a decade, teaching him all sorts of knowledge about the Star Realm, providing him with an Origin Power Battle Suit, items to save his life... and also informing him of the potential dangers, whether he goes or not, is also his own choice," Dean Hai stated calmly, "Good or bad, the outcome is his to bear.


    Making decisions and facing the consequences they bring, is also a form of spiritual tempering."


    "But what if something goes wrong?" Li Yang hesitated to say.


    "If his decisions exceed his capacity to endure, then it shows that despite a series of trainings, he hasn''t really grown," Dean Hai said indifferently, "If he can''t withstand the trials, and he dies, then he dies."


    Li Yang looked at Dean Hai in shock.


    He dies, just like that?


    That''s almost certainly a superhuman talent destined to reach the Flying Heaven Level.


    "This kind of training process is not just my decision, but the consensus of the higher echelons of human civilization," Dean Hai spoke softly, "Because his potential is enough, the tempering will be even harsher."


    "You have to understand,"


    "For a genius like him, the highest authorities don''t just hope he achieves the Flying Heaven Level, as that level doesn''t determine the survival of human civilization... But instead, they hope he can surpass the Flying Heaven Level," Dean Hai said slowly.


    "Surpass the Flying Heaven Level?" Li Yang gasped.


    Such beings, each one is a true member of the highest echelon of human civilization.


    "Just like the ancient emperors, many were very bright when young," Dean Hai stated calmly, "But born in the deep palace, raised by the hands of women... most turned out to be mediocre, even becoming muddle-headed."


    "Why? It''s because their environment was too comfortable!! Those who have achieved greatness have all suffered countless hardships, which then transformed their mindset and willpower, finally achieving success."


    "Innate talent is just for a moment."


    "Postnatal refinement is what''s crucially important."


    "With Li Yuan''s talent, following the regular process he could indeed reach the Flying Heaven Level, but what next? To try and temper him at that time?"


    "Raising a child, if you don''t temper their nature and educate them properly at the age of a few or in their teens, would you wait to do it at the age of thirty?" Dean Hai shook his head.


    "To the highest authorities, if someone has a truly ordinary talent, they are not so concerned."


    "But for an unparalleled genius like Li Yuan, during the training process, if nine out of ten die in the tempering,"


    "As long as one is tempered and becomes a being that surpasses the Flying Heaven Level, the deaths of the other nine are worthwhile, a success," Dean Hai asserted seriously, "Besides, everything is guided in secrecy, for such unparalleled geniuses, there is no forced coercion."


    "Like this time, if he chooses not to venture forth and prefers stability, nobody would force him."


    "Understood," Li Yang nodded.


    He got the message from Dean Hai.


    For unparalleled geniuses, human civilization''s resources for training are top level, and they try their best with various methods of protection... but they also guide them to face many dangerous tests.


    Only those who survive and make it through,


    Are more likely to achieve great success.


    Compared to the birth of a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors, the higher echelons of human civilization would prefer the emergence of one that surpasses the Flying Heaven Level.


    ...


    In the Mingxu Star Realm,


    About 900 kilometers from Outpost Base Number Three, lies ''Flying Serpent Valley,'' which, despite its name, is actually a huge, elongated canyon shrouded in mist all year round.


    And about ten kilometers from this canyon, in a secluded valley, a large contingent of Tianliang Clan warriors was encamped.


    At this moment, the entire camp was eerily silent, all Tianliang Clan warriors looking toward the distance with a mixture of fear.


    "Pang~"


    Accompanied by the whistling of a long whip, it struck heavily on the kneeling, burly figure.


    "Useless! Useless!"


    "How could you fail such a simple mission, and not only that, all your comrades are dead? Only you returned alive?"


    "Why didn''t you die out there?" a bizarre-looking young man dressed in a blood-colored robe said coldly, anger blazing in his eyes.


    All Tianliang Clan warriors dared not make a sound.


    Within the Tianliang Clan, the hierarchy was extremely strict. As a Sacred Land Core Disciple, Xue Shu could almost decide life and death for these ordinary warriors.


    Crack~ Another whip struck the burly man ''Logan'', who was kneeling on the ground, with vicious force.


    It left a terrifyingly visible bloody mark.


    Logan''s body was already drenched in blood. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Lord Xue Shu, I indeed have erred," Logan said, head bowed, his teeth gritted. "But I risked my life to make it back, not out of a fear of death, but to bring you a message, lest you be taken by surprise in an attack."


    "So, I should be thanking you?" the young man in the blood-red robe asked, anger turning into a mocking laugh.


    "I wouldn''t dare," Logan said, head still lowered, struggling through the pain as he continued. "There was indeed a reason for my failure this time... I was ultimately defeated by a Seven Stars human genius."


    He recounted the whole process.


    "A special Origin Power Battle Suit? Seventeen Rank Skill Realm at Fourth Level Perfection? Truly a First Rank genius of the Seven Stars human civilization," the young man in the blood-red robe said, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "You''ve at least brought back some good news."


    "Unfortunate," he said.


    "He remains within the sphere of the Seven Stars humans; I couldn''t possibly risk hunting him down," the young man in the blood-red robe said, his gaze icy. "Prepare to retreat."


    "Prepare to abandon the plan for Flying Serpent Valley."


    "Retreat?" the burly man Logan exclaimed in shock.


    "What else to do if we don''t retreat?" the young man in the blood-red robe glanced at him, his voice cold. "You lot of trash not only failed to intercept those Seven Stars human Martial Artists, but you''ve also exposed so much."


    "The Seven Stars humans are not fools; they will likely guess that there are treasures in the Flying Serpent Valley area, and perhaps Prime Warriors will come," the young man in the blood-red robe said coldly. "Do you want to go to war with Prime Warriors?"


    The burly man Logan dared not speak.


    Going to war with Prime Warriors? Once they arrive, aside from Lord Xue Shu, I fear no one could withstand three moves.


    "Logan."


    "I''m giving you a chance to redeem your failure by making merit. Take your remaining subordinates and stay in Flying Serpent Valley to keep watch," the young man in the blood-red robe said indifferently.


    "Three days'' time!"


    "If there''s still no trace of the Seven Stars humans, I will naturally lead the troops back here and continue with the plan."


    Logan was taken aback.


    If the Seven Stars humans'' main force arrives, would he not be facing certain death?


    But he dared not refuse as the current predicament was indeed due to the failure of his mission.


    Before long.


    The young man in the blood-red robe quickly left with the majority of the Tianliang Clan warriors.


    Logan and a dozen or so warriors were left behind.


    "I hope the Seven Stars human leadership is unwilling to take risks," Logan could only silently pray.


    ...


    About 100 kilometers from Flying Serpent Valley, time ticked away by the second.


    After nearly eight hours, Li Yuan''s consciousness completely recovered.


    "This time, the infusion of Origin Power seems to have ended faster than before," Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    His eyes were filled with tranquility.


    "The third infusion of Origin Power has actually increased my Physical Quality so much," Li Yuan felt the terrifying power contained within his body without moving.


    It was much stronger than before.


    "My Physical Quality," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.0 Rank (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 50,200 kilograms


    Speed: 100.8 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 28.4 Rank


    Willpower: 30 Rank


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 30% (Current Maximum 30%)


    Star Meridian: 10 Rank


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 6%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 7%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ...


    In just half a day, Li Yuan''s Life Level had leapt from 16.8 to 19 Rank!!


    His Fist Strength had approximately doubled.


    "Now," Li Yuan slowly stood up, clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him, "I should have the strength to match a novice Prime Warrior."


    The Tianliang Clan warrior he had previously escaped from?


    If he encountered him again, Li Yuan had a feeling, at full force, he could kill him with a single spear thrust.

 Chapter 218 : 178: Infiltration! The Flying Serpents Nest (Extra 2)

    Li Yuan understood that the feeling of increased power was an illusion due to his recent transformation.


    "One spear thrust? That might be difficult, two thrusts then," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "If he uses the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal again, he should be able to finish it within ten thrusts."


    The power and speed increases, as well as the defense enhancements, brought by the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal had their limits.


    "Regardless."


    "Facing an Initial Rank Prime Warrior, even a 22nd level one, I should have a fighting chance after activating my Origin Power Battle Suit," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    If it were a 20th level Prime Warrior? Li Yuan was fairly confident of being able to defeat or even kill them.


    Because Li Yuan''s Fist Strength now exceeded 50,000 kilograms and could surge beyond 90,000 kilograms under the Subtlety of the heart, which wasn''t much different from an ordinary 20th level Prime Warrior''s burst.


    If the strength was comparable and the skills were considerably superior, then even with a weaker Origin Power, there was a great chance of winning.


    However, if the opponent reached the 23rd level? Then the chance of winning was slim, for a 23rd level Mid Rank Prime Warrior''s basic Fist Strength was 240,000 kilograms!!


    If facing a Prime Warrior above the 26th level? Li Yuan would be killed in a single move.


    "Our Seven Stars Human Race Prime Warriors each possess an Origin Power Battle Suit, making our vitality ten times stronger," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But that''s not the case with the native lifeforms of the Mingxu Star Realm."


    This was the advantage of Prime Warriors.


    In reality, among the many Foreign Civilizations the Seven Stars Human Civilization had come into contact with, most were unable to mass-produce ''Origin Power Battle Suits,'' especially beast civilizations, which are generally weak in technology, almost primitive.


    Even the Tianliang Civilization''s research on Origin Power Battle Suits and Origin Power Weapons was inferior to that of the Seven Stars Human Civilization.


    This was also one of the reasons Li Yuan dared to enter the Flying Serpent Valley.


    "Flying Serpent Valley has long been under the surveillance of Outpost Station Three, with no definite traces of Second Rank Alien Race beings for so long," Li Yuan silently pondered, "Hence, the probability of a Second Rank Alien Race being born is very low, and even if one truly emerged, the chance of surpassing level 22 wouldn''t exceed 1%, otherwise the Flying Serpent population''s domain wouldn''t be confined to this area."


    According to the research of the Seven Stars Human Civilization, many of the native lives born in the Star Realms possess extremely strong bloodlines, naturally becoming First Rank Life or even Second Rank Life.


    But bloodlines are also shackles, extremely hard to break through.


    "Compared to the Flying Serpent race, what I really need to worry about is the Tianliang Civilization," Li Yuan thought to himself, "However, according to the information provided by the captives, aside from that Xue Shu, there don''t seem to be any Second Rank powerhouses accompanying them."


    "They''re probably not lying."


    The reason was simple.


    If there were Second Rank powerhouses among the Tianliang Clan that had come, they could have easily swept through the Flying Serpent Valley.


    In pursuit of Wang Zhou, they wouldn''t have let him and his group escape either.


    On the other hand.


    "It''s not out of the question that everything I know is a lie, a Killing Formation set up by the Tianliang Clan with the purpose of luring us Human Race Martial Artists away from the outpost," Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and mused, "I must be careful."


    "One must struggle for treasures, indeed, but it''s also about honing oneself. Yet one must not recklessly take risks."


    After thinking everything through.


    Li Yuan opened his backpack, drank some water, ate something, and continued to review his previously conceived plan... After confirming it was foolproof, he shouldered his pack, leaped down, and like an agile monkey, quickly stealthed into the vast forest.


    Heading towards Flying Serpent Valley.


    Before long.


    Hum!


    A figure in blue-green robes gradually materialized, almost blending in with the surrounding environment, making no sound whatsoever.


    "How has his strength increased so much in less than ten hours?"


    "Such strong Stealth ability."


    "Is this the Unity of Heaven and Man? Indeed extraordinary. If it weren''t for my special Battle Garment that conceals my presence, I''d probably be discovered by him," the mysterious figure whispered to himself, "Thankfully, the smart wristband is constantly tracking... Otherwise, I''d definitely lose him."


    Even so, he did not dare to follow too closely, lest he be detected.


    Whoosh!


    Soundlessly, the mysterious figure moved, and a beast nearby, busy nibbling the ground, did not notice a thing.


    ...


    It was only about 100 kilometers from the secluded clifftop to the perimeter of Flying Serpent Valley. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If Li Yuan sprinted at full speed, he could get there in an hour, but he was as discreet as possible, not very fast, and actually on the slower side.


    Explore uncharted tales at m-vlem|p-yr


    The closer he got, the slower he went.


    His strong spiritual power, and the art of Unity of Heaven and Man endowed him with such sensitivity that he could sense nearly everything within a hundred meters.


    After crossing another ridge.


    Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband, following the map guidance, he had entered the ''Flying Serpent Valley'' area.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan stopped, his body slightly squatting, eyes narrowing as he stared at something a hundred meters away.


    Hiss hiss~


    On the craggy rocks, festooned with a large number of vines, rested several serpentine creatures as thick as a man''s waist and over twenty meters long.


    These creatures were pitch black with only their huge, blood-red eyes standing out, resembling the snakes on Blue Star, but with a pair of long claws growing on their belly and a set of folded wings on their back.


    This was the ''Black Feathered Flying Serpent.''


    Rustle rustle~ One of the Black Feathered Flying Serpents suddenly raised its head, its massive body arching slightly as it unfurled its wings, which were so wide they blocked out the sun, spanning over twenty meters.


    "First Rank Flying Serpents can only glide, they can hardly take off directly," the details of Black Feathered Flying Serpents appeared in Li Yuan''s mind.


    Their wings were not large enough to support their massive bodies taking off directly.


    However, once transformed into a Second Rank Flying Serpent with the support of Origin Power, flying would become effortless for them.


    Flying!


    It was an ability that many clans'' Second Rank powerhouses envied.


    Even among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists of the Human Civilization, the vast majority were incapable of true flight, at most managing short-term levitation.

 Chapter 219 : 178: Infiltration! The Flying Serpents Nest (Extra 2)_2

    ```


    "From their size and appearance, these Black Feathered Flying Snakes should be around level 18," Li Yuan discerned from afar, using the Divine Palace Inquiry to confirm this fact.


    ```


    ```


    If they were Second Rank Flying Serpents, besides being over thirty meters long and significantly larger, there would also be a more prominent horn on their heads, resembling a dragon.


    ```

    "Slaying these few Flying Snakes wouldn''t be hard."


    ```


    ```


    "But it would easily alarm the others. Based on the intelligence, there are tens of thousands of Flying Snakes living in the Flying Serpent Valley, with at least a thousand above level 18," Li Yuan said as he slowly retreated, disappearing into the mountain forest.


    ```


    ```


    He changed directions and continued deeper into the Flying Serpent Valley.

    ```


    ```


    Slaying Flying Snakes? That wasn''t the goal.


    ```


    ```


    What Li Yuan sought was the precise location of the ''Heavenly Materials Treasures'' mentioned by the captives and Wang Zhou, before making his next move.


    ```


    ```


    Time passed.


    ```


    ```


    On the road, Li Yuan occasionally encountered Flying Snakes.


    ```


    ```


    Gradually, Li Yuan noticed that most were ordinary Flying Snakes around level 15, and those exceeding level 18 were rare.


    ```


    ```


    But the density of the Flying Snakes made his scalp tingle. There were simply too many.


    ```


    ```


    "If it weren''t for the special environment of the Star Realm, with these Flying Snakes'' powerful bloodlines naturally able to absorb a small amount of Origin Power, their numbers wouldn''t be so vast," Li Yuan said, shaking his head slightly.


    ```


    ```


    Just the source of food alone wouldn''t solve the issue.


    ```


    ```


    Fortunately.


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan''s Stealth skills had reached an ''abnormal'' level, such that even Second Rank Prime Warriors might not be able to detect him, allowing him rapidly to approach the very heart of the Flying Serpent Valley.


    ```


    ```


    Had it been another level 19 Martial Artist, they would have long since clashed with some of the Flying Snakes.


    ```


    ```


    "Flying Serpent Valley," Li Yuan ventured through the jungle to the edge of a vast canyon on one side.


    ```


    ```


    The towering mountains on both sides made it hard for sunlight to directly penetrate the canyon, shrouding it in dense mist, completely obscuring the bottom of the gorge.


    ```


    ```


    "According to the intelligence inquiry, Flying Serpent Valley stretches for twenty kilometers, with a maximum width of 814 meters, the narrowest point about 300 meters, and an average depth well over 1800 meters," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ```


    ```


    Such a deep gorge is extremely rare on Blue Star, truly qualifying as a rift in the earth.


    ```


    ```


    However.


    ```


    ```


    When Li Yuan looked up and saw the ''Ming Mountain'' at the horizon''s end, resembling a pillar holding up the heavens, he felt reassured.


    ```


    ```


    Just like what Yang Zhu had said before: "The Star Realm is mysterious, anything is possible. All we can do is to accept it."


    ```


    ```


    "Flying Snakes," Li Yuan caught a glimpse of dozens of Flying Snakes gliding out from the opposite mountain, swiftly disappearing into the mist. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ```


    ```


    Just with Li Yuan''s naked eye, there were already numerous traces of Flying Snakes on the canyon''s side walls.


    ```


    ```


    "Perhaps."


    ```


    ```


    "Detonating a nuclear bomb here might solve most of Flying Serpent Valley''s problems," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ```


    ```


    But Li Yuan was just musing.


    ```


    ```


    The terrifying power of a nuclear explosion would likely attract the attention of a Flying Heaven Level existence.


    ```


    ```


    Flying Heaven Level beings are extremely sensitive to large-scale energy fluctuations in the vast expanse of the world.


    ```


    ```


    "In the depths of the gorge, shrouded by mist, lies the true nest of the Flying Snakes," Li Yuan thought to himself: "No rush, I''ll first look for the Tianliang Clan."


    ```


    ```


    Without finding the Tianliang Clan, Li Yuan was not willing to risk venturing in.


    ```


    ```


    Hum~


    ```


    ```


    Soundlessly, Li Yuan moved away from the gorge, starting to search gradually along the mountain sides for traces of the Tianliang Clan.


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan believed.


    ```


    ```


    If the captives were right in saying they had over 200 Tianliang Clan warriors, then... they couldn''t possibly leave no trace.


    ```


    ```


    ...Scouring a dark canyon stretching over twenty kilometers, searching the mountain ranges on both sides for ten kilometers; such a vast range, if left to an ordinary human to explore, would likely take months to finish.


    ```


    ```


    But with Li Yuan''s strength.


    ```


    ```


    Just eight hours later.


    ```


    ```


    "The Tianliang Clan''s camp," Li Yuan lay hidden in the mountain woods, staring down at the large encampment in a secluded valley below, along with two Tianliang Clan warriors.


    ```


    ```


    This campsite, if not looked for carefully from a distance, was very hard to notice.


    ```


    ```


    And it was quite a distance from the Flying Snakes'' regular activity area, which is why it had remained safe.


    ```


    ```


    The fact that he found it in such a short time was not only due to his remarkably efficient reconnaissance but also due to a stroke of luck.


    ```


    ```


    "Such a large camp, by the number of people, should indeed exceed 200," Li Yuan pondered.


    ```


    ```


    "Only, why are there so few around? Could it be that the Tianliang Clan has already started to act?" Li Yuan wondered.


    ```


    ```


    With just the few warriors in the camp, Li Yuan could easily take them out.


    ```


    ```


    But he didn''t make a move.


    ```


    ```


    The enemy is in the light, I am in the shadow, this was Li Yuan''s biggest advantage.


    ```


    ```


    "Wait," Li Yuan had patience.


    ```


    ```


    ...This waiting lasted a full six hours, as there was no concept of ''night'' in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ```


    ```


    "Hm? Is that him?" Li Yuan''s eyes brightened as he saw a familiar figure appear in his line of sight.


    ```


    ```


    A tall and burly man with a combat saber on his back was scolding a few ordinary soldiers.


    ```


    ```


    The robust man was none other than ''Logan,'' one of the two captains of the Tianliang Clan who had slipped away from Li Yuan.


    ```


    ```


    "Yet, adding them up, there''s still only a dozen or so people in the camp," Li Yuan frowned: "It''s not possible that so many Tianliang Clan warriors are dead, right?"


    ```


    ```


    "And then there''s this."


    ```


    ```


    "None of the ''Divine Palace Disciples Blood Guards'' mentioned prominently in the intelligence reports match the profiles."


    ```


    ...After observing for a while, Li Yuan gradually realized that these Tianliang Clan warriors seemed to take turns leaving their base.


    They kept heading towards the direction of Flying Serpent Valley to explore.


    "Could it be that the main forces of the Tianliang Clan have withdrawn?" A thought emerged in Li Yuan''s mind.


    ...


    Three hours later, three Tianliang Clan warriors started out from their base, cursing under their breath.


    "Dammit, they actually left us here to die."


    "Who''s to blame?"


    "We can only blame our captain for coming back alive by himself, even Captain Mo Long is dead."


    "Be thankful. If we had joined the chase mission earlier, we''d probably all be dead at the hands of the Seven Stars Human Race by now." The three warriors discussed this among themselves in a low voice in ''Tianliang language'', all quite dissatisfied.


    "What''s the point of this exploration? We don''t dare to enter the core area of Flying Serpent Valley."


    "It''s useless, just for show."


    "Let''s just wander around the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley and head back."


    "So much time has passed and we''ve seen no trace of the Seven Stars Humans, they probably didn''t come." The three warriors continued chatting in low voices, all the while remaining alert to their surroundings.


    As elite fighters of the Tianliang Clan, though discontented, their combat readiness was still extremely high.


    Without a sound.


    "Pft~" From what appeared to be a harmless bush nearby, suddenly flashed a black saber light, and two Tianliang Clan warriors had no chance to react as their heads flew up instantly.


    Blood splattered.


    "No good." The warrior at the forefront immediately turned back, filled with shock and rage, instinctively trying to press his ''Communication Device'' for help.


    Click~ His hands were fast, but the slash of the saber light was faster.


    Thud!


    The light of the saber whizzed past, instantly severing the tall and thin Tianliang warrior''s arm, blood splattered, and the Communication Device on his wrist naturally fell as well.


    Poom~


    Then came a kick fast as lightning, directly sending the Tianliang warrior flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    The gap in strength was too great.


    The three 18-level Tianliang Clan warriors, in the presence of the Li Yuan of now, were like babies facing a strong man.


    Boom! With another swift movement.


    Li Yuan instantly rushed to their front, stepping on the arm of the warrior that wasn''t injured,


    Crack~ the sound of bones breaking.


    "Aaah~" The Tianliang Clan warrior let out a low moan of pain, his eyes almost spitting fire, glaring daggers at Li Yuan.


    "The emblem on your chest indicates you''re a ''squad leader'', I know you can speak the Seven Stars Human language." Li Yuan said with an icy voice, "I ask, you answer, I''ll give you a swift end."


    "Dream on." The Tianliang Clan warrior roared.


    A pill was directly forced into his mouth, and within mere seconds, his eyes bulged out roundly.


    It was too painful, much more than ten times the pain of the severed arm.


    ...


    Not long after, two more pills were forced into his mouth.


    ...


    Just as Li Yuan was about to stuff three pills into his mouth simultaneously, the stubborn Tianliang Clan warrior finally gave up, willing to say anything.


    After quickly ascertaining the relevant intelligence.


    Thud!


    With a slash of the saber, Li Yuan granted him a swift end, the head falling to the ground.


    The body thudded down heavily.


    "Willpower quite strong, probably on par with many Prime Warriors." Li Yuan muttered to himself, "I thought I would need to use a Marrow Spirit Desiccant pill."


    Li Yuan had gotten the information he wanted.


    Could it possibly be false intel?


    While interrogating, Li Yuan''s powerful spiritual power was constantly sensing his heart rate, pulse, spiritual fluctuations, eye expressions... The likelihood of falsity was very low.


    "Xue Shu, if there''s no trace of our Seven Stars Human Race, will you return within three days?"


    "Counting the time, today is the end of the first day."


    "That means, they won''t be back for another two days?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "First, head to the central gorge to verify whether the location of the Heavenly Materials Treasures is real."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure moved, vanishing into the jungle.


    Soon, dozens of Flying Serpents were lured over by Li Yuan on purpose, quickly devastating the scene of the earlier slaughter... Li Yuan then killed two more Flying Serpents.


    Creating the illusion that the three Tianliang Clan warriors had encountered an attack by a group of Flying Serpents.


    Having arranged everything.


    Only then did Li Yuan shake off the pursuit of the group of Flying Serpents, cleanse any scent from himself, and swiftly headed towards the center of the gorge, the core area shrouded in innumerable mists.


    "Let''s see what kind of treasure it is, to wield such an immense allure."

 Chapter 220 : 179: Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood

    ```


    The Flying Serpents, beyond living within the core area of the Flying Serpent Valley,


    also inhabited over ten kilometers on both sides of the canyon range, which are considered the peripheral zones of the valley. This is also why Li Yuan initially encountered a large number of Flying Serpents when he was more than ten kilometers away from the canyon.


    This was also the reason why the Tianliang Clan settled over ten kilometers away from the canyon.


    The key lies in the depth of the canyon!


    Just considering the Seven Stars human civilization''s exploration, the average depth reached over 1800 meters, and the canyon connected countless caves within the mountains on both sides, forming an immense three-dimensional space.


    Stay connected via m_vl_em_p_yr


    Just like some of the human supercities that cover tens of kilometers, they can accommodate millions or even tens of millions of people.


    The living space of the entire Flying Serpent clan in the valley, if spread out on the plain, would be enough to match an area of thousands of kilometers.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan did his utmost to conceal his own aura, and with powerful spiritual induction, he easily traversed over ten kilometers of the peripheral area and once again arrived at the edge of the canyon.


    "Mist." Li Yuan looked down and saw dense fog below; he couldn''t even see the bottom of the canyon, in fact his vision didn''t extend hundreds of meters.


    Unfathomable.


    "Following the instructions given by that squad leader."


    "Xue Shu, for some reason, had early on determined that there were treasures in the canyon, and even personally ventured into the canyon for inquiry," Li Yuan thought to himself. "After returning from the bottom of the canyon, he refused to leave, constantly preparing and plotting something."


    "And gathering more Tianliang Clan warriors."


    "This point, on the other hand, is similar to the information provided by Wang Zhou. They too had reached the edge of the canyon and felt something special deep within it, but did not dare to venture further," Li Yuan pondered in silence.


    "A large amount of data provided by the frontline base shows that the fog in this area during the regular exploration of Flying Serpent Valley ten years ago wasn''t as thick, and there weren''t as many Level 18 and Level 19 advanced Flying Serpents in the clan."


    After a day of exploration.


    Li Yuan had noticed the abnormalities of the Flying Serpent Valley.


    Although most of the Flying Serpents were ordinary, there were far more advanced Flying Serpents than he had expected.


    "Wang Zhou and his group are weak, only daring to risk reaching the edge of the canyon for reconnaissance," Li Yuan, lying on the cliff said, "But since Xue Shu was able to return safely... I should be able to do the same."


    After several interrogations and comprehensive information, Li Yuan was able to confirm one thing¡ªthe Tianliang Clan''s Xue Shu was not Second Rank.


    As long as it''s not a Second Rank strong being, within the First Rank, Li Yuan was confident there weren''t many who could match him.


    If Xue Shu''s strength was truly unrivaled, he would have had no need to bring a large number of Tianliang Clan fighters with him.


    Whirr~ Silently,


    a thin black battle garment appeared on Li Yuan''s body, he had fully activated the Origin Power Battle Suit, and the surface of the suit even changed color slightly to light green, blending better into the surrounding environment.


    The battle garment worth five hundred million Blue Star Coins was extremely comprehensive in function.


    In Li Yuan''s hand appeared a combat saber, which he gripped in reverse without revealing its sharp edge.


    As for the long spear and backpack? They were placed in a hidden spot not far away on the cliffside.


    It was necessary.


    This time, Li Yuan only intended to reconnoiter, so carrying a backpack and a long spear, which would make him a bigger target and more likely to be exposed, was not an option.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan moved, starting to descend deeper into the canyon along the cliff face, and with his physical quality and skill level, even the slightest protrusion on the canyon cliff allowed him to move as if on flat ground.


    Moreover, the cliff was covered in countless moss and trees, providing natural cover.


    Descending continuously.


    Gradually, Li Yuan was enveloped by the mist in the canyon, and the visibility dropped sharply... Now he could only see a few tens of meters ahead.


    "This fog, though it blocks my line of sight, can also provide me with concealment," Li Yuan observed the swirling mist around him.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped in his tracks, merging with the environment.


    Hiss~ A Flying Serpent over ten meters long, with wings spread, swiftly passed over Li Yuan''s head and disappeared into the fog.


    Less than two hundred meters deep, this was already the sixth Flying Serpent Li Yuan had encountered.


    However, none of the Flying Serpents encountered along the way had noticed him.


    Li Yuan''s perception of these Flying Serpents relied on his strong spiritual induction, rather than purely ''eyes,'' hence he could sense the presence of Flying Serpents in advance. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He continued to descend.


    "Hm? What''s that?" Li Yuan suddenly paused, his gaze sharp. He spotted on the cliff tens of meters away, among the black-green vines, a massive Flying Serpent nearly twenty meters long resting with its head down, apparently asleep.


    Without spiritual induction, Li Yuan''s naked eye would have hardly noticed its presence.


    "Level 18 Flying Serpent," Li Yuan gauged the strength of the creature through his Divine Palace.


    But that wasn''t the point.


    The key was the blood-red plant growing on the cliff beside the Flying Serpent, about half a meter tall with blood-red branches and leaves, brimming with vitality and quite conspicuous.


    "Blood Origin Spirit Ganoderma! Six-leaf! It''s actually this kind of spiritual medicine," Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    In the general knowledge classes, teachers not only talked about history, astronomy, geography, Star Realm creatures, and Alien Civilization but also taught how to identify a plethora of ''Heavenly Materials Treasures.''


    After all, one of the main objectives for Martial Artists venturing into the Star Realm was to seek treasures.


    If one couldn''t even recognize treasures right beside them,


    That would be a joke.


    And in the data library of Martial Hall, Li Yuan had also noted down a lot of information about common treasures.


    "Origin Power, it''s emitting an aura of Origin Power, no doubt about it," Li Yuan quickly confirmed.


    Blood Origin Spirit Ganoderma is a generic name, found in many Star Realms, with everything from three leaves up to nine leaves¡ªthe more leaves, the higher the quality.


    It is one of the main materials used in making a series of auxiliary cultivation medications.


    For example, the First Rank Hematopoietic Medicament, Second Rank Hematopoietic Medicament, and even the High Origin Spirit Spring all require it.


    ```


    "Six leaves are enough to make a Second Rank qi and blood potion, a single plant is worth tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan thought, "The key question is, are there only a few of these plants here, or are there many inside Flying Serpent Valley?"


    This was very important.


    If there were only a few, it wouldn''t mean much, but if there were many inside Flying Serpent Valley, it would indicate that this place was very suitable for cultivating the Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi mushrooms, and that would be completely different...


    If the Seven Stars human civilization occupied this place and could use technological methods, they could completely cultivate and plant them in large quantities.


    The conditions for the large-scale birth of Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi are harsh, requiring a high concentration of Origin Power, ley lines, and many other factors.


    "Continue." Li Yuan did not attack the Flying Serpent; he wasn''t after a few tens or hundreds of thousands of Blue Star Coins.


    He continued to dive deeper.


    As he went further in, the fog became thicker, and Li Yuan also found that the width of the canyon was increasing, seemingly becoming more expansive the further back he went... This was a vast land canyon world, where the light was getting weaker and darker.


    "Buzz!"


    "Roar~"


    "Hiss!" The number of Flying Serpents was also increasing, their massive bodies occasionally slicing through the mist, coming in and out of caves in the mountain walls... Li Yuan dared not approach those Flying Serpent Caves.


    He continued to delve deeper, and as the fog began to disperse, his vision gradually became clearer.


    At this moment, Li Yuan was truly deep inside the Flying Serpents'' lair, and if he were exposed, he would likely attract an attack from hundreds, maybe thousands of Flying Serpents.


    This was the world of the Flying Serpent clan.


    It also made Li Yuan all the more cautious.


    "Hmm? Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi?" As his vision cleared, Li Yuan glanced around and noticed several Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi not far away.


    However, a massive Flying Serpent still guarded them.


    No! There wasn''t just one plant.


    Li Yuan looked again and was shocked to find that within his line of sight alone, on the hundred-meter stretch of the mountain wall, several Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi were growing.


    Altogether, at least more than ten plants.


    This was astonishing.


    With a bit of extrapolation, Li Yuan could imagine how many Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi must be growing on the mountain walls on both sides of the entire Flying Serpent Valley.


    "Could it be that Flying Serpent Valley has become suitable for the growth of Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi?" Li Yuan was shocked, "Why was there never any mention of this in the previous reports?"


    But Li Yuan did not delve into it, the environment of Star Realm was unpredictable and hard to measure.


    "If Flying Serpent Valley really is suited for large-scale planting."


    "Just this place alone might be worth hundreds of billion or even thousands of billion Blue Star Coins, enough for human civilization to invest a large amount of resources," Li Yuan''s heart heated up.


    This place was only about 900 kilometers from Outpost Base Number Three.


    If the Seven Stars human civilization was willing to pay the price, establishing a new war base to guard and develop a resource point here would not be difficult.


    Starting wars and investing resources, the goal is always the same¡ªto acquire greater resources.


    In the past, the Seven Stars human civilization did not invest significant resources in the Mingxu Star Realm simply because the risk and the returns were not proportional.


    But!


    If Flying Serpent Valley really was suitable for cultivating Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi, then getting the Seven Stars human civilization to invest a significant amount of effort was not a dream.


    "Outpost bases have explored Flying Serpent Valley more than once, and there was no record of this information."


    "It must be a change from the last ten years."


    "No wonder the number of high-level Flying Serpents in the valley has increased, it''s probably the result of them continuously consuming Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi," Li Yuan concluded.


    Humans use ancillary cultivation treasures to grow faster.


    The beast Alien Race is no different.


    "Such a big change in Flying Serpent Valley must have a reason," Li Yuan thought to himself, becoming even more cautious as he continued to dive deeper.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had delved more than 1500 meters into the canyon.


    The bottom of the canyon was extremely dark, with light nearly unable to penetrate through the thick fog. Numerous vines intertwined on the mountain walls, where many Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi grew.


    Li Yuan dared not descend any further.


    Because the number of Flying Serpent Caves on both sides of the mountain walls was increasing. Flying Serpents were passing by from time to time, and there were too many of them. Even with Li Yuan''s stealth abilities, he could not guarantee his safety amid so many Flying Serpents.


    Moreover.


    There was no need for Li Yuan to explore further down, because with the fog dissipating for the most part, he could already see the bottom of the canyon.


    At the bottom of the canyon, among the moss and vines, dense ''Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi'' were growing. Li Yuan could see hundreds of them within his line of sight.


    And these Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi, they extended along both sides of the canyon, only becoming more sparse towards the outer edges.


    "So many Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi?" Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, but then he stood thunderstruck, frozen in place.


    In the midst of this sea of Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi at the canyon bottom, there grew a strange tree about ten meters high.


    Its trunk was thick, its branches lush and green, as if each leaf contained the force of life, emitting a rich Origin Power aroma.


    But what really drew the eye were the three fruits at the top of the tree.


    Each fruit was plump and round, its surface shimmering with mottled light, in deep blue colors with occasional flashes of silvery white, seeming to release a mysterious fluctuation, emitting a soft glow that tempted one''s soul.


    Just a fleeting glance and Li Yuan couldn''t help but feel a desire to swallow them whole.


    "What is this?"


    "Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood? And the soon-to-be ripe Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit?" Li Yuan''s eyes shimmered with a glint.


    It was the Third Rank soul-type Heavenly Materials Treasures mentioned in the database, ranked just below the Immortal Soul Nine-Revolution Fruit and alongside the Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass and the Sweet Spirit Core Crystal.


    They had astounding benefits for soul growth!!

 Chapter 221: Chapter 180: Fourth Rank Treasure? Second Rank Flying Serpent!

    From hundreds of meters away, he gazed at the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood at the bottom of the gorge.


    Li Yuan''s heart thumped with excitement, "All three fruits are already showing a silvery sheen, which clearly indicates they are entering the mature phase, and they should not be far from full maturity... And according to the data, a normal Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood only grows three to six meters tall, so why is this one ten meters tall?"


    A Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood that grows three to six meters tall bears ''fruit'' that is Third Rank treasures, invaluable.


    If it''s ten meters tall, what rank of treasure would that be? Logically, it would only be more precious.


    Could it be Fourth Rank?


    "Judging from its appearance, the fruits have begun to mature and can definitely be harvested, though their effect might be slightly inferior," Li Yuan''s eyes were fixed on those three fruits.


    According to the records, a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood might only bear fruit two to three times in its life, each time yielding only 2-4 fruits, and how it grows has always been a mystery.


    This was a Heavenly Material Treasure that could not be mass-produced.


    How much was a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit worth? Li Yuan didn''t know, because treasures of this caliber were too scarce and rare in the Seven Stars human civilization.


    Most were traded or consumed in private.


    Even if they were put on sale, they typically appeared only at high-end auctions, where the price varied each time.


    For Third Rank treasures of the same level, like the Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass, based on the information Li Yuan found, one plant exceeded 2 billion Blue Star Coins at a recent auction organized by Xia Country.


    How much were three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits worth? At least several tens of billions of Blue Star Coins.


    It was absolutely a huge fortune!!


    "I must seize them."


    "Definitely." Li Yuan''s heart pounded with various thoughts surfacing in his mind.


    "Whether it''s for what my uncle needs."


    "Or for my normal cultivation in the future, I need a huge amount of resources," Li Yuan thought to himself, "To a great extent, I can only rely on myself."


    The resources of the entire Seven Stars human civilization were limited.


    Even for the unparalleled geniuses, there was a limit to the support they could receive.


    The ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal'' provided by Kunlun Martial University, the S-grade contract offered by the Martial Hall, along with some Heavenly Materials Treasures, were essentially top-level support.


    All added up, until Li Yuan graduated from university, the total value would hardly exceed one hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    There was a vague line to this.


    In Jiang City after the Fish Spirit Tide, Li Yuan had exchanged information with Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, and others and roughly understood this point.


    Some more precious treasures?


    Aside from a few regenerable special resources.


    Most of the extraordinary treasures, the top powerhouses of the Seven Stars human civilization didn''t have enough for themselves, so how could they easily gift them to young geniuses?


    Want more? If your strength is sufficient, go out and fight for it yourself.


    What the Seven Stars human civilization desires are strong Martial Artists, geniuses who can gradually contribute to the entire civilization after becoming Prime Warriors.


    Not those who still only wish to take from within the civilization after becoming high-level Prime Warriors or even Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, if a super powerful individual is willing to spend the wealth they''ve earned through their own hardships, even if it costs hundreds of billions or trillions to provide for their children, no one can interfere.


    But the resources directly granted by the entire civilization?


    No matter how talented, what one can receive is ultimately limited.


    ... "The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is fine, but with two Second Rank Flying Serpents around, how can I snatch it?" Li Yuan''s gaze fell on the ground about a hundred meters away from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    On either side.


    Two massive flying serpents were sprawling there, both exceeding thirty meters in length.


    Their claws, wings, and scaly bodies all had obvious differences from those of ordinary flying serpents.


    From their appearances alone, it was clear that they were far more formidable than other flying serpents.


    Most importantly, there were slightly protruding horns on their foreheads.


    These were the marks of Second Rank flying serpents.


    "[Target creature, Life Level approximately 21.3, Second Rank Life, killing yields Spiritual Nature nutrients]"


    "[Target creature, Life Level approximately 21.8...]" Li Yuan, using Divine Palace Inquiry, basically confirmed the strength of the two Second Rank flying serpents.


    Both were Second Rank, and neither was the kind that had just broken through. Discover more at m-vl-em|p-yr


    "It''s possible that they have consumed Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit before, undergoing a Transformation, that allowed their minds and bodies to achieve Unity and breakthrough," Li Yuan thought quietly.


    Due to intelligence issues, beasts receive very few inheritances, and the intelligence of First Rank beasts is generally not high.


    Therefore, if the bloodline isn''t strong enough, it is tens to hundreds of times harder for a First Rank beast to break through to the Second Rank compared to humans.


    "Two 21st level Second Rank flying serpents, if I were to take on two at once, I''m fairly confident I could win if a great battle truly erupted," Li Yuan''s eyes slightly squinted: "The key issue is that once a great battle breaks out, there are thousands upon thousands of flying serpents here."


    Li Yuan didn''t care about a single First Rank flying serpent; he could kill one with a spear thrust.


    But at a certain number, combined with two terrifyingly powerful Second Rank flying serpents, it would be different.


    Li Yuan''s chances of winning were close to zero.


    Moreover, the region Li Yuan had explored so far was only a small part of Flying Serpent Valley. In the densely packed caves of Flying Serpent Valley, whether there were more and stronger Second Rank flying serpents was hard to predict.


    "If I openly snatch now, not only would I fail to grab it, but I''d also likely lose my life," Li Yuan pondered silently: "Without my long spear in hand, I can only exert less than fifty percent of my strength."


    "First, I''ll go back and think of a solution."


    Li Yuan slowly moved upward along the vines and rocks, not daring to make a sound.


    Hundreds of meters away were the two Second Rank flying serpents.


    If discovered... Second Rank flying serpents could fly, by then, escaping would be impossible.


    ... Time elapsed.


    Li Yuan did not return the way he came but continued his exploration along the cliff to both sides, wanting to confirm if there were other Second Rank members of the flying serpent tribe within the valley.


    This was crucial.


    Only after more than six hours did Li Yuan avoid many dangers and, with both relief and fear, return to the starting point above the canyon... The sun still hung high in the sky.


    "Serpents prefer the shade, whether in Blue Star or the Star Realm, this is the case, no wonder most flying serpents like to hide at the bottom of the valley," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    He returned to the concealed spot on the cliffside where his backpack and long spear were stored.


    He checked the ''alert clues'' he left nearby, confirming that no one or Alien Race had passed by during that time.


    He hid inside a small cave.


    "''All Heavens'' Stars,'' Origin Power activation," Li Yuan closed his eyes and silently channeled his Star Meridian, drawing an endless stream of Origin Power into his body.


    He was recuperating from the fatigue of his body.


    Such a prolonged exploration and the use of spiritual power for sensing, even for Li Yuan, constituted a great expenditure.


    "Firstly, I explored about 8 kilometers of the cliff on one side of the valley floor, and other than the two Second Rank flying serpents in the center of the valley floor, there were no traces of other Second Rank flying serpents," Li Yuan thought, summarizing the results of his exploration.


    "Second, the life-nourishing Spirit Mushrooms are mainly concentrated in the central part of the valley, and their numbers dwindle the closer one gets to the sides of the valley... the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood also grows in the center...


    the higher-level Flying Serpents, including the Second Rank Flying Serpents, are all concentrated in the middle of the valley." Li Yuan seemed to be thinking, "Is it all just a coincidence?"


    Based on the information he had, Li Yuan felt that there might have been some special changes occurring in the central area of the Flying Serpent Valley.


    "This kind of all-encompassing diagnosis isn''t my forte; it requires experts to calculate through various data." Li Yuan said to himself, "My goal is to seize the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit."


    That was what Li Yuan sought after.


    However, how could he snatch it from two Second Rank Flying Serpents, not to mention the thousands of First Rank Flying Serpents...?


    "At the latest, in two days, the blood guards from the Tianliang Clan will return with reinforcements." Li Yuan pondered.


    If he wanted to prevent the blood guards from coming back, he would have to kill all the Tianliang Clan warriors that remained, which could possibly scare them off from taking the risk of returning.


    Still, it did not solve the key problem¡ªhow to snatch the treasure.


    ...After a long contemplation.


    "Three paths," Li Yuan had completely made up his mind, "First, I go for it myself, recklessly charging in, with the success rate close to 0, and the death rate close to a hundred percent."


    "Second, wait for the blood guards to bring back the Tianliang Clan warriors, let them fight with the Flying Serpent tribe... There''s a chance to play the fisherman, but it''s also possible to end up with nothing and equally dangerous."


    "Third, report the situation here to the outpost base and request reinforcements, that way, my gains might be less, but it''s safer and more reliable." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Without hesitation anymore.


    Li Yuan took out his smart ring and tried to contact the outpost base, only to discover... the call wouldn''t go through.


    The signal was too poor.


    "Damn," Li Yuan cursed under his breath and got to his feet, gripping his long spear and flying out of the cave.


    As soon as he emerged, Li Yuan stopped abruptly.


    Because, about a hundred meters away, two powerful Flying Serpents, each over twenty meters in length, were raising their massive heads and looking around. One of them happened to see Li Yuan.


    "Roar~" This one, exceeding level 18, immediately let out a terrifying and piercing roar. The penetrative power of its voice was astonishing, instantly echoing throughout several kilometers around.


    In an instant.


    "Roar~"


    "Howl!" In the dense forest, the roars of the Flying Serpents rose and fell in rapid succession.


    Even the sound traveled into the fog of the valley, causing a series of roars to echo through the mist.


    "Damn," Li Yuan gritted his teeth, realizing that by sheer bad luck, the two Flying Serpents were outside his sensory range.


    And just as he emerged from the cave, they were fixated on this very spot.


    Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!


    Several Flying Serpents flapped their wings, their speed instantly soared, and they rushed toward Li Yuan with a howl, as if filled with endless fury.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan didn''t care about remaining hidden anymore. He exerted force with his legs, and his speed soared to a terrifying degree, quickly surpassing 70 meters per second, and breaking through 100 meters per second after two seconds.


    "Rumble~" Under the burst of terrifying speed, the air vibrated violently, creating a series of noises, and along the path, small trees fell to the ground with a crash.


    Countless pebbles flew chaotically.


    ...Li Yuan, at full speed, vanished in a few flashes, shaking off several Flying Serpents.


    But immediately after, his path was blocked by even more Flying Serpents in front. One by one, the Flying Serpents moved their massive bodies, lunging over to attack.


    "Die."


    Li Yuan burst forth without hesitation, his spear leaving a trail of continuous images, and spears of light suddenly erupted.


    Splat~ Splat~


    Li Yuan''s spearhead was small, but when he struck these Flying Serpents, his spear moved at several times the speed of sound... just like bullets hitting a human body.


    With one thrust, if it pierced the head of a Flying Serpent, the head would explode.


    If it stabbed into their bodies, it would leave a huge wound, or even sever them at the waist.


    Not one Flying Serpent could block Li Yuan''s path as he fled for his life.


    ...


    After killing dozens of Flying Serpents of varying strength.


    Li Yuan fled frantically, only stopping after covering over ten kilometers through the forest and feeling no more Flying Serpents continued the chase, slowing his pace.


    Only after escaping another five or six kilometers did he come to a complete halt, sitting on a huge rock and silently regulating his body''s energy.


    "Lucky there were no Second Rank Flying Serpents, otherwise it would have been really troublesome." Li Yuan muttered.


    He looked at his arm, which now had one bar of signal, and dialed the communication line on his smart ring again.


    This time, after waiting nearly twenty seconds.


    "Beep~" Li Yuan finally got through.


    It wasn''t a video call, just a voice communication.


    "Li Yuan, what''s the matter?" The voice of Liu Jing came through the communication, not loud, and somewhat deep.


    "Senior, I''ve basically figured out the situation in the Flying Serpent Valley and now I''m hoping to get support from the base." Li Yuan said earnestly.


    This was the choice Li Yuan had made.


    If he waited for Xue Shu and the Tianliang Clan warriors to fight the Flying Serpent tribe, it might work, but the chances were greater it wouldn''t, and it was extremely dangerous.


    "Fortune favors the bold, but also at the risk of losing everything," Li Yuan recited in his heart.


    Instead of taking an overly risky plan, it''s better to be prudent.


    Even if the gain is a lot less, the advantage is safety and stability¡ªalive, one has everything.


    "Oh? What''s the situation?" Liu Jing''s voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise.


    "After I arrived at Flying Serpent Valley..." Li Yuan quickly reported all the intelligence he had gathered.


    And sent some of the exploration footage.


    There was nothing to hide.


    Since he had decided to ask for reinforcements, informing them of everything he knew so as not to lead the outpost base to misjudge was the right choice to make.


    "Two Second Rank Flying Serpents? Nearly mature Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits?" Liu Jing''s voice carried a tint of surprise, seemingly quite shocked, "There are such treasures in the Flying Serpent Valley?"


    "Correct, absolutely certain," Li Yuan affirmed.


    There was a long silence on the other end of the communication.


    "Li Yuan, I will rush over as quickly as I can," Liu Jing''s voice sounded again, "Before I get there, do not startle anything or go up against the Tianliang Clan''s people, understand?"


    "Understood." S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ```


    After hanging up the communication,


    "Liu Jing is personally coming? It seems that this ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is indeed precious enough to make an exception for them," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan was aware that the outpost base had its own operating rules and convincing a First Rank Martial Artist with Fourth Level skills to willingly stay forever in a Star Realm nearly as desolate as The Wilderness was very difficult.


    Moreover, the number of Prime Warriors in the Human Race civilization of the Seven Stars was limited, and there were many directions in which to allocate resources.


    Treasures and materials are resources.


    Powerful beings like Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors are also a resource.


    Therefore, at a place like Outpost Base No. 3, the number of Prime Warriors was limited and they would not take action unless absolutely necessary.


    Otherwise, if they were to die outside, causing a loss of high-end combat power, it could easily trigger a chain reaction that could lead to the entire base''s destruction.


    "Within 1000 kilometers of the outpost base is a line drawn by the upper echelons of Xia Country for the base," Li Yuan mused, "Within this 1000 kilometer range, Prime Warriors can intervene in some special situations."


    For example, when establishing a high-value resource point.


    Or for¡ªHeavenly Materials Treasures worth over a billion.


    Or when targeting a high-value treasure.


    "It''s 900 kilometers from the base," Li Yuan pondered, "If not using a flying vehicle and going at full speed, a Prime Warrior should be able to arrive within five hours."


    900 kilometers across mountains and 900 kilometers over plain are two different concepts.


    "I wonder if Liu Jing is coming alone or if there will be multiple Prime Warriors? Or is he bringing other First Rank Martial Artists, or even some heavy weaponry?" Li Yuan wondered to himself.


    Li Yuan did not wish to think further.


    He stood up and moved even further away, finding a more concealed cave.


    He began to cultivate in peace.


    He still hadn''t practiced today''s "All Heavens'' Stars" "Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."


    Moreover, his previous cultivation was only enough to slightly alleviate physical fatigue.


    "Five or six hours."


    "Before Liu Jing arrives, I''ll try to restore my strength to its peak to avoid making mistakes in a great battle," Li Yuan closed his eyes and meditated, focusing on his cultivation.


    Of course, most of Li Yuan''s spiritual power still stayed alert to the outside, wary of a potential surprise attack.


    ...


    In the small cave where Li Yuan was cultivating, about two kilometers away, in a quiet and dense forest,


    "That was close."


    Continue the journey on m|vl-em,py-r


    "He almost detected me," the figure dressed in a blue-green Battle Garment looked at the disconnected smart ring watch and shook his head slightly, "This kid is really something."


    With a swish, the Battle Garment receded, revealing an age-worn face¡ªit was indeed Liu Jing.


    The one who had been secretly following and protecting Li Yuan was Liu Jing himself.


    Shortly after Li Yuan left Observation Point No. 19, Liu Jing started out from the war base immediately according to the plan, catching up with Li Yuan while he was in secluded cultivation on the cliff.


    Because of this,


    when Li Yuan called Liu Jing, it took nearly 20 seconds for Liu Jing to connect.


    Because he had to move away a bit to avoid detection by Li Yuan.


    Secret protection.


    But one must never let the protected feel this protection, so that they don''t develop a psychological dependence, thus achieving the greatest possible honing and protection.


    "Unexpected."


    "There are such rare and precious treasures hidden in Flying Serpent Valley?" Liu Jing murmured to himself, shaking his head slightly: "I didn''t dare to dive deeper earlier and failed to notice."


    Liu Jing had to admit that even with the enhancement of a special Battle Garment, when it came to Stealth, he was no match for Li Yuan.


    Just now, when Li Yuan explored deeper, Liu Jing only dared to descend about 800 meters into the canyon before he stopped daring to go further.


    Continue ahead? He would likely have been discovered by the Flying Serpents.


    No other way.


    Whether it was spiritual power or skills, Li Yuan far surpassed him, and Li Yuan''s Battle Garment had extremely strong support functions as well.


    "Yet, besides the treasure, there are also two Second Rank Flying Serpents?" A glint of cold light flashed in Liu Jing''s eyes.


    Compared to the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, Liu Jing was more concerned about the presence of Second Rank Alien Race beings.


    He could fully foresee.


    If he did not intervene, the Black Feather Flying Serpent Race would definitely expand wildly from Flying Serpent Valley in all directions sooner or later...inevitably leading to a fierce conflict with Outpost Base No. 3.


    This was the experience he had gained from fighting numerous wars against many Alien Races during more than thirty years stationed in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    That was also the reason for delineating a 1000-kilometer range of influence for the base.


    Only if there were no Second Rank Alien Races within this range could they continue to avoid conflict with more distant and more powerful Alien Civilizations.


    They could keep a low profile.


    If a Second Rank Alien Race arose within the range of influence? Then they would strike down the newly emerged threat as soon as possible!


    "However, facing the temptation of a treasure worth tens of billions, Li Yuan actually resisted the internal lure, taking no risks and staying cautious. That''s quite rare," Liu Jing thought to himself, "His strength is also alarmingly great."


    "The data shows that he''s only at level 16.5, but judging from his progress through battle, he''s probably close to level 19 now...truly mysterious," Liu Jing shook his head slightly.


    Regarding Li Yuan''s specialty, he would report it, but he would not proactively ask Li Yuan, nor was he inclined to delve deeper.


    No other reason!


    It was pointless.


    Having been stationed in the Mingxu Star Realm for thirty years, his cultivation had already reached a bottleneck... Liu Jing was quite indifferent to many things.


    In Liu Jing''s view,


    as long as Li Yuan did not betray the Human Race, what did it matter if he had some secrets or fortunate encounters? How was it his concern? S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After some thought,


    Humm~


    Liu Jing activated his smart ring watch and dialed another communication, connecting quickly.


    "Old Liu," a cold female voice answered.


    "I''m now in Flying Serpent Valley..." Liu Jing quickly recounted the situation, only omitting the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood: "This place is extremely valuable, perhaps worthy of establishing another outpost base."


    "Or even a ''breeding area,''" Liu Jing said.


    "A breeding area?" The woman''s voice carried a hint of surprise.


    The Human Civilization in numerous Star Realms and a vast number of Foreign Civilizations were also occupying many Star Realms... Their presence in most Star Realms was solely for warfare.

 Chapter 223: Chapter 181 Liu Jings Decision (Add more 3)_2

    But they would also choose some appropriate Star Realms to send in a large number of ordinary people for reproduction¡­ This is known as the breeding area.


    However, establishing a stable breeding area is extremely difficult.


    "This is just a hypothesis," Liu Jing said with a slight smile, "after all, don''t we in the Everlasting Mingxu Star Realm wish to see more Prime Warriors, or even Flying Heaven Warriors? Only by becoming a breeding area can our outpost become like a regular city, or even ultimately our second homeland."


    "My lifelong wish is to see our Seven Stars human civilization truly gain a foothold in the Mingxu Star Realm, instead of being ready to evacuate at any moment as we are now," Liu Jing declared.


    The woman fell silent.


    Indeed!


    The four major outposts of the Seven Stars human civilization are all ready to be evacuated at any time.


    But while others can retreat, where can the few Prime Warriors go? Nowhere.


    "What do you want me to do?" the woman asked.


    "Bring over the exploration teams, the First Warrior Squadron, the environmental data team, the First Mechanical Squad, the Second Mechanical Squad¡­ All of them," Liu Jing said in one breath, "I want to establish a vanguard camp here and produce an ''investigation report'' as quickly as possible."


    "All of them?"


    "Once lost outside, the alliance won''t replenish our forces in a short time," the woman was shocked again, "Are you so confident? Can you get Han Chong to agree?"


    "That''s why I just need your agreement, two against one," Liu Jing smiled, "Whether he opposes or not, it doesn''t matter much."


    The woman had nothing to say.


    "I''m old, and I can''t fight many battles," Liu Jing said indifferently, "This time we must contend with the Tianliang Clan, 900 kilometers from our base, and only 1400 kilometers from theirs¡­ The sooner the better, to let the higher-ups make up their minds early and start allocating resources here as soon as possible."


    "One day earlier we establish a complete base defense system here, and the Tianliang Clan will be helpless," Liu Jing said.


    He had long had this idea.


    After pondering for a while.


    "Good." Through the communication device, the woman finally agreed, "I will devise a plan as quickly as possible¡­ but with such a large team and many researchers having weaker strength, they all want to arrive without fail. Even with mechanical teams paving the way¡­ It is estimated to take three days to arrive."


    A distance of 900 kilometers.


    Many members of the alien race obstruct the way, and it''s very difficult for an outpost to remotely transport so many people.


    "Good," Liu Jing knew that three days was already extremely fast.


    A single Prime Warrior''s action and the movement of nearly a thousand people are two different concepts.


    He ended the call.


    "Li Yuan is here; with his strength, he should be safe for the time being."


    "Let''s first completely eliminate the people in that Tianliang Clan outpost," Liu Jing frowned slightly, "Li Yuan started killing and asking questions just now, and made such a big commotion that echoed through half of the Flying Serpent Valley. As long as the Tianliang Clan isn''t stupid, they must have already noticed."


    Having already startled the snake in the grass, there''s no need for restraint anymore.


    Thunderous deterrence is the best strategy.


    However, Liu Jing knew that once he cleared out the opposition, the Tianliang Clan might be too frightened to come back, or they might send their own Prime Warriors to contest.


    "We can only take a gamble."


    Whoosh!


    Liu Jing''s figure moved, his Battle Garment appeared, enveloping his entire body, and he quickly disappeared into the woods.


    He made his way stealthily towards the Tianliang Clan outpost.


    ...


    More than ten minutes later.


    "No one left?" Liu Jing looked down at the deserted Tianliang Clan outpost below and couldn''t help but shake his head, "They are smart, retreating so quickly."


    ...


    More than ten kilometers away from the outpost.


    A burly man named ''Logan'' was leading the less than ten remaining Tianliang Clan warriors in a frantic escape.


    "Captain, do we need to evacuate in such a hurry?" A Tianliang Clan warrior couldn''t help but say, "Even if the Seven Stars human race''s Prime Warriors arrive, there''s no need to rush like this."


    They had just been woken up from their sleep by Logan.


    "Captain, what about Carson and the others? They haven''t returned yet," another Tianliang Clan warrior couldn''t help asking.


    They took turns going out for inquiry.


    Therefore, when they retreated to escape with their lives, the three who went to inquire in the Flying Serpent Valley were not able to evacuate in time.


    "Idiots." Join us on m-vl-em,py-r


    "If the Seven Stars human race has arrived, they must be confident in taking the Flying Serpent Valley. Lord Xue Shu himself has already fled. If they discover us, do you think we can withstand them?" Logan said coldly.


    The group of Tianliang Clan warriors fell silent.


    """


    "I even suspect that the three previously presumed to be attacked by the Flying Serpent were killed by the experts of the Seven Stars human race," Logan shook his head and said, "As for Carson and his two companions? They''ve been messaged. It''s up to their own skill to escape death now."


    "We should withdraw ourselves."


    The many Tianliang Clan warriors dared not utter a sound.


    The direct abandonment of the three made them all feel a chill.


    "Additionally, report this news to Lord Xue Shu, telling him that we risked espionage and discovered traces of a large group of Seven Stars human race warriors, including a suspected Second Rank expert, remember it''s suspected, unconfirmed... This is the truth, have you all got it?" Logan''s icy gaze swept over his subordinates, "I hope everyone can share in this merit."


    The many Tianliang Clan warriors looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes."


    ...


    About 300 kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley, in an inconspicuous gorge, a large number of Tianliang Clan warriors were stationed.


    "Second Rank experts from the Seven Stars human race are here?"


    "The Seven Stars human civilization must have discovered the secret of Flying Serpent Valley," A bizarrely dressed young man named ''Xue Shu'' looked at the message from Logan with cold eyes, "There''s no peaceful way out."


    He had also discovered the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    But it was through analysis of some signs, rather than a direct inquiry into the bottom like Li Yuan, so he was unaware of the existence of a Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    Therefore, Xue Shu had been intending to monopolize the treasure and had been making preparations.


    He had not informed the Tianliang Clan''s higher-ups in the Mingxu Star Realm previously.


    "By myself, I''m destined not to get it," Xue Shu shook his head slightly and immediately switched on the communication device.


    1100 kilometers from the main base, communication was already possible.


    ...


    About 1400 kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley, there was a small city with a sci-fi feel to it, which, like the ''outpost base'' of the Seven Stars human civilization, was also hidden within large mountain ranges, surrounded by jungle.


    It would not be easily detected.


    Here was the main Tianliang Clan stronghold in the Mingxu Star Realm, where a large number of cultivators gathered.


    Inside the stronghold, in a small meeting room, several figures clad in white gathered, each emitting an extraordinary aura.


    They all surrounded a large holographic projection.


    "The current situation is as follows."


    A figure in casual attire slowly said, "Xue Shu is a core disciple of the Divine Palace and would not tell lies. The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is not that important in itself."


    "The key is the large quantity of live blood-source Lingzhi mushrooms. If they could mature and be mass-produced, this would definitely be a treasure trove."


    "I even suspect that there are other secrets at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley, worth our paying any price," the casually dressed figure continued, "My decision is to fight for it with all our might. Do you agree?"


    "Agree!"


    "Agree!"


    "Abstain."


    "Good, six votes in favor, one abstention," the casually dressed figure said, "Execute immediately."


    "Right now, we''ve lost the initiative."


    "The mechanical troops can only be dispatched as backup; we must first mobilize an elite team... Delgado, Mo Li, the two of you will head there at full speed, join Xue Shu and his team and do your best to obstruct the actions of the Seven Stars human race team."


    "Our subsequent forces will arrive as quickly as possible."


    ...


    Time ticked away second by second.


    On the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley, Li Yuan was quietly cultivating.


    After more than two hours of practicing the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," he continued his training with the "All Heavens'' Stars," guiding Origin Power into his body, propelling his Physical Quality to further improvement.


    "[Your Life Level has risen from 19.0 to 19.1]"


    "[Your strength, from...]" The Divine Palace panel flashed with several prompts in succession. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan noticed this: "The great battle is near, and my strength has increased slightly, which is good."


    The infusion of Origin Power into the body was not always available; most of the time, he still had to rely on step by step cultivation.


    Another hour went by.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan''s spirit perceived something, sensing a powerful presence getting within a hundred meters, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end and his mind to instantly go on high alert.


    Subconsciously.


    Li Yuan already had a firm grip on the long spear before him, with Star Meridian Origin Power flowing in his body, ready to explode at any moment.


    "Li Yuan," a deep voice sounded.

 Chapter 224: Chapter 182 The Battle Begins

    "Senior Liu Jing," Li Yuan said with a flicker of joy in his heart as he heard the familiar voice and instantly emerged from the dark cave.


    Standing dozens of meters away was the blue-clad elder, none other than Liu Jing himself.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry to confirm that there was no mistake, a 24.2 level Prime Warrior.


    He didn''t receive a Spiritual Nature warning; it was a person of the Seven Star Human Race.


    This was a point mentioned by a teacher in a general knowledge class: when adventuring in the Star Realm, always stay vigilant, never let success and joy cloud your mind.


    "You''ve hidden yourself quite well; if I hadn''t located you using my smart ring, I might have had trouble finding you," Liu Jing said with a chuckle.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile, "Senior, how did you get here so quickly?"


    From the time he had reported in to now, it hadn''t even been five hours.


    "After receiving the message, I discussed it with two other commanding officers and then set out immediately, making my way here as fast as I could," Liu Jing said gravely. "Also, I''ve already checked out the Tianliang Clan dwelling you mentioned, according to the information on your map... It''s already deserted."


    "Deserted?" Li Yuan expressed his surprise.


    "I observed the surroundings just now and found many Flying Serpent corpses around the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley; they must be from the battle you left behind," Liu Jing said. "I guess the commotion must have scared them off, causing them to retreat quickly."


    "Senior, you''re wise," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Alright, stop flattering me," Liu Jing said with a smile. "I''ve already done a preliminary survey of Flying Serpent Valley and can initially confirm the accuracy of your information. There''s a substantial growth of Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi on the canyon walls... I''ve sent a message back, commanding the main force from the base to come here; they should arrive within three days."


    "Senior, that''s impressive," Li Yuan said, genuinely amazed and increasingly respectful. "In such a short time, senior has accomplished so much; I am full of admiration."


    In less than five hours, to have come from the base and then to investigate and explore the surroundings.


    Such dedication!


    "It''s all part of my duties; as a commanding officer, I naturally cannot slack off," Liu Jing replied, unfazed.


    But in fact, Liu Jing had been resting not far away all these hours, adjusting his state of well-being.


    Feeling that his body had returned to peak condition, he immediately sought Li Yuan out.


    "Senior, what should we do next?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Based on the information you provided, if Flying Serpent Valley is indeed suitable for the large-scale growth of ''Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi,'' then it would be worth it for our Xia Country to invest significant resources," Liu Jing said. "Spending hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins, or even more, on building a war base here would be worth it."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi might not be highly valuable individually, but what if you could produce tens or even hundreds of thousands of them each year?


    In a way, its value exceeds that of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Because the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood can only help a few Martial Artists. Your source is m-vl|em|p,yr


    However, a continuous supply of Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi could enable thousands of Martial Artists to grow faster.


    "Of course, I''m no expert; we''ll have to wait for those scientists to come over for testing," Liu Jing said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; professional matters should be left to the professionals.


    "In our next moves, there are some things we need to be aware of," Liu Jing said. "First is the strength of the Tianliang Clan."


    "Didn''t they already withdraw?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Didn''t you say that Xue Shu had explored the Flying Serpent Valley?" Liu Jing said seriously. "We must consider the worst-case scenario in encounters with enemies, assuming that Xue Shu discovered the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood too... He perhaps wanted to swallow the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit alone, which is why he hasn''t reported it to the high levels of the Tianliang Clan yet."


    "Of course, there are many contradictions. Even if he is a 19-level genius, it would be difficult for him to defeat two Second Rank Flying Serpents," Liu Jing added.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod, this was indeed a puzzling point.


    However, neither Liu Jing nor Li Yuan knew that Xue Shu, lacking Li Yuan''s stealth ability, was completely unaware of the Second Rank Flying Serpents at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley.


    "Regardless."


    "He has been scared off by you for now, and assuming he reports to the high echelons of the Tianliang Clan, will they come to contend?" Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan.


    "Flying Serpent Valley is much closer to our Seven Stars Human Race''s forward outpost base." Li Yuan hesitated a bit.


    "But the Tianliang Clan has stronger strength and remote deployment capabilities," Liu Jing sighed. "Otherwise, how would they dare to strike at Observation Point 19?"


    Li Yuan''s heart grew cold.


    Indeed, the Tianliang Clan''s forces in Mingxu Star Realm were more formidable.


    "But as you''ve said, the proximity is our advantage." Liu Jing smiled. "Even if the Prime Warriors of the Tianliang Clan want to rush over, it will still take some time."


    "What we need to do is use this time to snatch the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "Although Flying Serpent Valley is highly valuable, that is in respect to an entire country, an entire civilization," Liu Jing solemnly said. "If we achieve a great feat, should we manage to establish a plantation base in the future, as the first discoverers, we will receive a share of the profits for the next 20 years...


    but in the short term, the profits are far less than those from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded.


    Flying Serpent Valley was highly valuable, but it would require Xia Country and even the Seven Star Alliance to invest significant resources for it to be effective.


    For powerful Martial Artists? The usefulness was minimal.


    Whereas the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits could directly net tens of billions of Blue Star Coins.


    "After the grab, according to Alliance rules, you, as the finder, will get 20%, and the remaining 80% will be divided according to our contribution," Liu Jing smiled. "No objections, right?"


    "No objections," Li Yuan shook his head.


    If he had gone alone, he wouldn''t have been able to get even 1%, but now he was guaranteed at least one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, so naturally, he had no objections. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You didn''t discuss this with the other two commanders?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "No need to say anything, they can''t come. There are only three Prime Warriors at the base; we can''t all leave," Liu Jing said indifferently. "We also don''t have the time to wait for other First Rank Martial Artists, who wouldn''t be much help anyway."


    "Alright, I''ll follow the senior''s arrangements," Li Yuan nodded.


    With other Prime Warriors whom he had only met a few times, Li Yuan would be very cautious, but he held a good deal of respect for Liu Jing,


    In the face of a Prime Warrior who had willingly defended a part of the country for thirty years, Li Yuan believed that the other party was not likely to betray him over a few Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    Of course, Li Yuan also remembered his teacher''s words: even with trust in others, one must keep a reserve. Li Yuan had his own measures secretly in place, for one must never be without the caution against others.


    In the Star Realm, Martial Artists killing each other was not anyone''s concern.


    "My plan is quite simple," Liu Jing said. "You will voluntarily descend into Flying Serpent Valley."


    "The deeper the better."


    "Your stealth ability is stronger than mine, you''re responsible for sneaking as close as possible to the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood," Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan. "Then I will make a move from high above the canyon, drawing the two Second Rank Flying Serpents and other serpents towards me... You are responsible for taking the opportunity to seize the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "After the grab, if you haven''t been discovered, then escape stealthily on your own."


    "Once you''ve successfully escaped, signal me, and I''ll find a way to leave."


    "If you''re discovered after the heist, in the short term, with your strength, ordinary First Rank Flying Serpents should pose little threat to you."


    "Then immediately flee my way, and I''ll lead you out," Liu Jing said.


    "What about you, senior?" Li Yuan hesitated.


    ```


    The plan sounds simple.


    But the biggest premise is that Liu Jing must be able to withstand the siege of two Second Rank Flying Serpents and tens of thousands of First Rank ones.


    "Haha, looking down on me?" Liu Jing laughed, "Although I cannot kill tens of thousands of Flying Serpents alone, it''s very easy for me to just delay them a bit before helping you escape."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling relieved.


    As a 24th Level Prime Warrior and having held a position of power for decades, Senior Liu''s considerations were surely more comprehensive than his own.


    "In fact, if we weren''t pressed for time and worried about the Second Rank Flying Serpents directly destroying the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit..."


    "We could''ve waited for the arrival of the mechanical troops and used heavy weaponry to slaughter the Flying Serpent swarm on a large scale," Liu Jing said, "The Flying Serpent swarm is weak, not worth mentioning."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    The Flying Serpent swarm is weak? That''s only relative to the war machine of Xia Country.


    Soon.


    Li Yuan and Liu Jing discussed some details, checking time, location, escape routes, and emergency plans one by one.


    They set off immediately.


    ...


    Two suns hung high in the sky, bathing the land in light and making the dense, rolling fog within the Flying Serpent Valley seem to dissipate considerably.


    Clad in their Battle Garments, Li Yuan and Liu Jing had stealthily reached the edge of the canyon.


    Looking down from here, they could already spot numerous traces of Flying Serpents in the gorge.


    "Let''s begin," Liu Jing said in a low voice.


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded slightly, with his Battle Garment cloaked in black and green to blend in with the environment as much as possible.


    He gripped his Long Spear.


    Whoosh! With a move, Li Yuan slid down along the vines towards the Flying Serpent Valley.


    This was his second infiltration, following a familiar route; it could be said he knew the road well, and his speed was much faster than last time.


    In just two minutes, Li Yuan had descended over 300 meters, completely disappearing into the mist.


    "This young fellow really is formidable, his Stealth abilities... Unity of Heaven and Man," Liu Jing looked down, secretly impressed, as even with his keen sight, he could no longer see Li Yuan''s position.


    Of course, the deeper he went, the slower he moved.


    15 minutes later, the Flying Serpent Valley remained as calm as ever, with only the occasional roars of Flying Serpents.


    "Hasn''t he reached the designated position yet?" Liu Jing was slightly worried in his heart.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ A slight vibration on the smart band on Liu Jing''s arm showed a number¡ª0!


    0, means all is safe, everything is going as planned.


    1, means encountered difficulties, please wait.


    2, means request for support.


    Liu Jing''s thoughts moved and he sent back a "0" through the flashing light screen, then the Battle Garment wrapped around the smart band, turning him completely black.


    Only his eyes faintly shone through.


    Swish! He drew his Combat Saber from his back and, holding a shield in the other hand, Liu Jing felt a surge of heated blood boiling inside him.


    "Haha, it''s been a while since I''ve experienced such a big battle," Liu Jing murmured to himself.


    Without concealing himself, Liu Jing stood up.


    Whoosh!


    Liu Jing leaped from the kilometer-high cliff, turning into a terrifying streak of light plunging downwards, with gravity and his own strength increasing his speed to nearly 200 meters per second in an instant.


    Boom! The terrifying speed caused the air to explode with a roar that spread in all directions.


    The sound made many Flying Serpents on the cliffside instinctively look up above.


    "Boom!"


    Like a meteor collision, two massive Flying Serpents about 300 meters below on the cliffside were instantly split in half by Liu Jing''s descending Combat Saber.


    Blood splattered everywhere, and with Liu Jing continuing to fall down the cliff, the horrific impact caused countless rocks to shatter and shoot out in all directions.


    "Kill!" Liu Jing''s eyes were ice-cold, with a powerful push from his legs, he flashed nearly a hundred meters across the cliffside in a blur.


    "Puchi~" Another Level 18 Flying Serpent was killed midair, its massive body ripped into pieces.


    Flesh and blood fell everywhere.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!" Finally, across the entire Flying Serpent Valley, the ear-splitting roars of hundreds, maybe thousands of Flying Serpents echoed, as if facing a mortal enemy.


    The sound spread rapidly, reaching the cliffs on both sides of the Flying Serpent Valley and even deeper within it.


    At this moment.


    Tens of thousands of Flying Serpents realized¡ªSecond Rank! A Second Rank Alien had arrived!!


    Within seconds.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Flying Serpents burst through the fog, shrieking as their wings flashed, rushing out.


    Almost at the same time.


    On the cliffs on both sides, even more Flying Serpents swiftly emerged, spreading their wings, with sharp eyes quickly targeting Liu Jing waiting on the cliffside.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! The Flying Serpents diving down from above were even faster, each one charging toward Liu Jing.


    "Haha, bring it on," Liu Jing revealed a cold smile.


    Boom! His body seemed to be engulfed in a blazing fire, as if he were a War God!!


    ...


    At the bottom of the canyon, about 1200 meters down.


    A nondescript black and green figure was lurking in the vines.


    "It''s started," Li Yuan held his breath, as Flying Serpents from the caves around him dashed out frenziedly.


    They filled the sky.


    The horrendous number of the entire Flying Serpent swarm burst forth at this moment.


    ```

 Chapter 225: Chapter 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill!

    Boom! Boom! Countless flying serpents burst out from the cave, fiercely clawing their way up the mountain wall with the aid of their wings and talons amid roaring sounds, all at astonishing speeds.


    The flying serpent swarm, despite the lower intelligence of the First Rank flying serpents compared to ordinary humans, had their own language for complex communication within the group.


    In a sense, this was a rather complete flying serpent kingdom.


    This scene made Li Yuan hold his breath.


    During his first exploration, Li Yuan had pondered what scene would unfold if they were forcefully taken... Now, it seemed the level of danger was multiple times that of his prediction.


    Keep in mind that even though these flying serpents were only at level 15, each charge could exert tens of thousands of kilograms of force.


    Those at levels 18, 19, were even capable of unleashing tens of thousands of kilograms of force. With tens of thousands of flying serpents bursting forth, and Liu Jing remaining on the cliff face, his ability to dodge was greatly reduced.


    Right! With a single move, Liu Jing could kill a flying serpent.


    But just as a tiger dealing with ordinary humans, it would certainly be one strike per person. Experience magic on m-vl-e-mpyr


    If thousands of ordinary humans were to attack a tiger without fear of death, even if unarmed, they would eventually beat the tiger to death.


    The disparity between Liu Jing and an ordinary flying serpent was even greater than that between a tiger and an ordinary human.


    But there were simply too many flying serpents.


    "Wait a moment! The Second Rank flying serpents are still below." Li Yuan remained prostrate in his original spot.


    Because he was holding a long spear, he was a bigger target and easier to reveal.


    This moment allowed no mistakes.


    According to the plan with senior Liu Jing, unless the two Second Rank flying serpents moved, he could not descend to the bottom of the canyon.


    Boom! Boom! In the narrow Flying Serpent Valley resembling a gorge, the sounds of explosions echoed continuously.


    Following that.


    Crash! Boom! Like falling objects from the sky, massive flying serpents, with their heads severed, bodies torn in half, or frames blasted open, tumbled down.


    Their bodies hit the protruding boulders with a ''thud,'' instantly becoming a bloody mess, and then continued to roll downward.


    Countless fragments of rock also began to fall, turning the air above the Flying Serpent Valley into a blood rain for a while.


    ...


    About 1500 meters above the canyon''s bottom on the mountainside.


    This was a slope, also the battlefield specifically chosen by Liu Jing, where protruding stones on the slope were better suited for him to exert force and dodge.


    "Roar!"


    "Growl~" As many flying serpents attacked frenziedly, Liu Jing activated his battle garment and, like a black lightning, easily dodged the flying serpents.


    Even when he occasionally couldn''t dodge, his robust physical quality allowed him to endure easily.


    Conversely, many of the flying serpents, although seemingly large in size, would inevitably die if struck by Liu Jing''s sword.


    Even those that collided with Liu Jing''s body were dealt heavy blows.


    This is what it means to be a Prime Warrior!


    Under normal circumstances, it''s easy for a regular Prime Warrior to sweep away hundreds or thousands of First Rank creatures.


    Numerous bodies of the flying serpents continued to tumble down.


    ...


    At the canyon''s bottom, beside the approximately ten-meter tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, two massive flying serpents slowly raised their heads.


    They had been awakened earlier but were reluctant to leave the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Two Second Rank flying serpents.


    "Huff¡ªhuff¡ª" Compared to other flying serpents, these were the true behemoths, their bodies stretching nearly forty meters from head to long tail.


    Their midsection was especially thick, with talons like metal cast, gleaming and extremely sharp.


    Most noticeable were their heads, with slightly raised horns as if proclaiming their royal status.


    Flying serpents?


    No!


    As they propped up their massive bodies on their talons, standing ten meters high with wings spread wide and eclipsing the sky, they seemed more like two fearsome dragons than mere serpents!


    "Thump~" One of the Second Rank flying serpents beat its wings fiercely, instantly stirring up a terrifying gust and deflecting a flying serpent''s corpse that was falling from the sky to one side, avoiding hitting the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    "Roar~"


    "Roar~" The two Second Rank flying serpents let out a series of low roars, and from the cascading roars of the flying serpents above, they roughly understood the situation¡ªThe enemy was too powerful, and the First Rank flying serpents suffered heavy casualties.


    "Growl~" Accompanied by a strange roar from one of the Second Rank flying serpents,


    Quickly.


    Boom! Boom!


    Dozens of large flying serpents over 20 meters in length darted out from the caves at the bottom of the canyon. They quickly began to crawl on the ground, prostrating themselves in front of the two gigantic Second Rank flying serpents, as if showing submission.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two Second Rank flying serpents'' bodies shone with blue gleams, and then they shot upward at high speed, their velocity astonishingly quick. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Flying!


    The Second Rank flying serpents, assisted by Origin Power, flew at an incredible rate, causing shock waves to spread in all directions.


    "Rumble~" The explosion of the two Second Rank flying serpents created a whirlwind that blasted in all directions, passing over where Li Yuan was hiding.


    Li Yuan clung to the cliff face, compressing his aura to its utmost, blending into the surrounding vines as if becoming one with them.


    He knew the critical moment had arrived.


    If he were to be noticed by the Second Rank flying serpents, all would be lost.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two Second Rank flying serpents did not detect Li Yuan as they swiftly swept past and disappeared into the thick fog.


    "First step, success." Li Yuan felt a surge of excitement, and with a flicker of thought, he sent a message to Liu Jing through his smart ring¡ª0!


    0, indicating safety, proceed as planned.


    "Huuff!"


    Li Yuan''s body slowly moved, continuing to feel his way towards the bottom of the canyon, where the entire flying serpent swarm was now focused on the great battle raging above.

 Chapter 226: Chapter 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill! _2

    Who could have imagined.


    A First Rank human martial artist, who seemed utterly insignificant in their eyes,


    was steadily approaching the core territory of their clan.


    Yet there were still a large number of Flying Serpents rushing out of the passage, and therefore, to avoid detection, Li Yuan''s descent speed remained very slow.


    ...


    "Huff!" "Huff!" Two enormous Second Rank Flying Serpents, their flying speed was incredibly astonishing, rapidly exceeding 200 meters per second.


    They burst through the layers of fog and soared into the sky.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar~" The two Second Rank Flying Serpents let out earth-shattering roars, their elongated pupils fixed on Liu Jing on the cliff, swiftly slaughtering one Flying Serpent after another.


    At this moment, tens of thousands of Flying Serpents had surrounded Liu Jing atop the cliff.


    All gazing at Liu Jing.


    With the serpents closing in, the heavens and earth seemed to turn into a dense mass of black.


    Ordinary people upon seeing this, would likely feel dizzy and chilled to the bone.


    "Finally here." Liu Jing revealed a smile, regarding the myriad serpents as nothing, solely focusing on the two Second Rank Flying Serpents breaking through the clouds.


    Prime Warriors cannot fly.


    And now, being on the cliff, Liu Jing would certainly not take the initiative to attack the two Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    Once airborne, without anything to push against, trouble would ensue.


    For Liu Jing, battling and slaughtering these Flying Serpents wasn''t the goal; delaying until Li Yuan safely acquired the "Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit" was.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" The two Second Rank Flying Serpents could no longer contain themselves, their wings trembling, their massive bodies abruptly sprinted forward, streaking towards Liu Jing.


    Claws whooshing.


    "Come." Liu Jing, holding his Combat Saber, stared intently.


    He didn''t have a Divine Palace control panel.


    But his combat experience was extremely rich; just from the two Flying Serpents'' body sizes and velocity, among many other aspects, he could approximately deduce that these two Second Rank Flying Serpents were around level 22.


    At least 2 levels lower than him!


    However, in a battle between Second Rank powerhouses, due to the presence of Origin Power, each one had a much stronger life force. Even with a two-level difference, it was not an impossible fight.


    Moreover, the ability of Second Rank Flying Serpents to fly was an absolute advantage.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" The hundreds and thousands of First Rank Flying Serpents, also under the command of their two leaders, once again crazily rushed towards Liu Jing, attempting to limit his ability to exert his full strength.


    ...


    At the bottom of the valley, the bodies of Flying Serpents continued to fall, raining blood.


    But it was visible to the naked eye.


    The number of Flying Serpents that originally spread across all parts of the valley floor was rapidly dwindling.


    Clearly, a large number of the higher-ranking Flying Serpents had already charged toward where Liu Jing was fighting.


    The distraction plan was incredibly successful and created an opportunity for Li Yuan.


    "Fast!"


    "I must be quick! Liu Jing''s abilities are astonishing, but the cliffside is not a space suitable for his battle. Engaging head-on like this, the consumption of physical strength and Origin Power are tremendous," Li Yuan thought anxiously, accelerating his descent while ensuring he remained concealed.


    He knew that Liu Jing was gambling with his life.


    In fact, if not for the worry that the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit would be destroyed in the battle, Liu Jing, with his abilities, could have entirely penetrated into the depths of Flying Serpent Valley alone... but it would have been even more dangerous.


    At last.


    Li Yuan descended once again until he was about 300 meters above the valley floor, where the fog had completely dissipated.


    He could now clearly see the situation at the bottom of the valley, and this sight left him utterly stunned.


    Because!!


    The two Second Rank Flying Serpents were gone.


    But around that one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, massive Flying Serpents were coiled.


    Their bodies were particularly immense, each at least 20 meters in length.


    Each massive serpent head was raised high, watching the surroundings vigilantly; their bodies encircled the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood within a hundred meters, encasing it completely.


    Without leaving the slightest gap.


    "Level 19.6! Level 19.2! Level 19.4..." Li Yuan quickly deployed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    This inquiry gave him quite the shock; the Flying Serpents guarding the valley floor all surpassed level 19, the highest even reaching level 19.9.


    They were just one step away from Second Rank.


    At a glance,


    there were more than 50 level 19 Flying Serpents, a truly terrifying guardian force, definitely second only to the two Serpent Kings within the Flying Serpent Valley.


    Facing such a large group of powerful Flying Serpents,


    without the strength of a Prime Warrior to break through, death was almost certain!!


    "What to do?" Li Yuan rapidly pondered in his mind: "With my abilities, it wouldn''t be hard to get past these Flying Serpents... but the key is how to leave?"


    These Flying Serpents were too dense; there was no more room for Li Yuan to move forward.


    He would definitely be discovered.


    After hesitating for merely a second,


    "4." Li Yuan activated his smart ring, sending four consecutive messages to Liu Jing.


    Four messages, four vibrations.


    Four vibrations meant he could no longer sneak in directly; a forceful intrusion was the only option, but there was still hope for success.


    Just two seconds later.


    "Buzz~" Li Yuan''s smart ring vibrated, displaying a message of garbled text.


    It was from Liu Jing.


    One vibration signified¡ªit was time to go all out.


    "Then let''s go for it."


    "If Senior Liu Jing is confident, then let''s take the risk." Li Yuan''s eyes turned icy cold.


    The current situation was much better than before; at least there were no Second Rank Flying Serpents blocking his path.


    Going after the treasure?


    Sometimes one had to risk everything. Nothing worthwhile ever came easy in this world.


    "Boom, boom, boom~"


    In the dark chasm above, from the area shrouded in mist, came the deafening roars of Flying Serpents, with some still plummeting to the ground.


    Among them, a few particularly sharp roars easily penetrated the thousand-meter chasm.


    Resonating within the gorge.


    Without a doubt, those were the howls of Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    "Can''t delay any longer, with two Second Rank Flying Serpents leading so many others, Senior Liu Jing will only become more strained." Li Yuan clenched his teeth.


    With a shift in posture and aided by the darkness, he continued to probe towards the bottom of the gorge.


    The deeper he went, the darker it became.


    Given Li Yuan''s height and sticking close to the mountain wall...it was nearly impossible for the Flying Serpents to spot him.


    Whoosh!


    Silent and stealthy, Li Yuan finally found his way to the base of the chasm. It was damp and muddy, much like a swamp... but Li Yuan, covered entirely in his Battle Garment, hardly cared about such nuisances.


    "200 meters," Li Yuan whispered, lying prone in the grass, gazing at the massive Flying Serpents in the distance.


    The grass, submerged in mud and water, mostly trampled and disheveled, but it provided Li Yuan ample cover.


    The stench here was unbearable, with thousands of Flying Serpents gathered and the air hardly circulating...the smell could only be imagined.


    Fortunately, the Battle Garment came with an air filter, which to some extent made it less suffocating for Li Yuan.


    "Closer."


    "The closer, the better," Li Yuan thought to himself, "It would be best to get within dozens of meters, then a sudden sprint would catch these Flying Serpents off guard."


    Li Yuan held his breath, inching closer and closer.


    In the sky above, the bodies of fallen Flying Serpents occasionally plummeted, drawing the attention of many of the guarding serpents. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Which was fortunate.


    Li Yuan and Liu Jing had roughly estimated the location of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, so the battlefield Liu Jing chose was not directly overhead, but about 200 meters away horizontally.


    Hence, the falling Flying Serpents were unlikely to hit the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    "50 meters," Li Yuan paused again, as he dared not move further.


    In such an open space, with so many Flying Serpents present, their perception was not to be underestimated.


    Moving closer would certainly alert them.


    "Huff!"


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes firmly fixed on the ''Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood'' behind the rows of Flying Serpent bodies, eyeing the three silver-lit fruits on it.


    Subtlety of the soul! Countless fine strands of Vigor moved.


    Origin Power circulated! The Battle Garment activated.


    The next instant.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s legs exploded with power, propelling him like a bullet from a gun, his speed reaching a terrifying level, soaring over 100 meters per second in just one second.


    Just one second.


    In that time, Li Yuan could charge through 50 meters, breaking through the defense ring the Flying Serpents had formed.


    But these Flying Serpents, surpassing the 19th level, also had incredibly fast reaction times.


    In just a fraction of a second, as Li Yuan shot out thirty meters, the nearby serpents were already aware of his presence.


    Instinctively.


    "Ang!"


    "Roar~" Several massive Flying Serpents leapt forward with a roar, attempting to intercept the human shadow blitzing towards them like lightning.


    "Die!" Li Yuan''s eyes were fiercely sharp as his speed burst to its limit.


    Boom! He dodged the attacking claws of two Flying Serpents with the quickness of lightning.


    His Long Spear was already thrusting forward furiously.


    "Poom~"


    With a thrust of his spear, moving several times the speed of sound and unleashing a terrifying force of nearly a hundred thousand kilograms, its might far more ferocious than a cannonball, he tore a massive wound across the waist of another Flying Serpent.


    Blood spurted everywhere.


    Rip! Fully activating his Battle Garment, Li Yuan grazed past the serpent''s ripped-open wound, barreling his huge body to one side.


    And finally, he broke through their defense.

    At this moment, the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood stood only a hundred meters away from Li Yuan.


    "Roar~"


    "Ang!" Then, the Flying Serpents guarding the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood started to howl madly.


    Wave after wave of frenzied, piercing roars echoed throughout the entire chasm.

 Chapter 227: Chapter 184: Accomplishment Complete

    Li Yuan launched a surprise attack about 50 meters away from the Flying Serpent''s alert circle, but the serpent circle surrounded the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood by about a hundred meters.


    Hence, amidst Li Yuan''s furious burst, in just one second he avoided the attacks from several Flying Serpents and even killed one directly, leaving him less than a hundred meters from the ancient tree.


    At this moment, the area that had been relatively quiet, with many craning their necks to watch the great battle above the canyon involving Level 19 Flying Serpents, erupted into complete frenzy.


    "Ao~"


    "Ao~" The dozens of Flying Serpents on alert around them let out roaring cries that crazily spread in all directions.


    Their narrow, sanguine eyes were now fixed deadly on Li Yuan, wishing they could tear him apart and devour him alive without a moment''s hesitation.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! These Level 19 Flying Serpents, while roaring, were already charging toward Li Yuan with their massive bodies, trying to stop him.


    The spirit tree!


    This was not only the guardian task given to them by their three leaders but also their own deep longing.


    These Level 19 Flying Serpents were close to becoming Second Rank; they all understood that to break through the constraints of their bloodline and become Second Rank Flying Serpents, they must get permission from the three leaders to eat the strange fruit from the spirit wood.


    This exceptional spirit tree was the ''treasure'' of the entire Flying Serpent tribe.


    It must not be lost.


    And the short-statured alien in front of them was here to steal it.


    No! Not steal!


    It was outright robbery!


    Oddly, the powerful serpents opposite the ancient tree didn''t rush in a straight line but circled around the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, maintaining at least a seventy-meter distance as if wary of something.


    "Are you panicking?" Li Yuan''s figure was like lightning.


    The instant he broke through the defense perimeter, without any pause, his speed soared to a terrifying level, charging directly toward the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Li Yuan didn''t dare to linger.


    "Thirteen seconds!!"


    "It takes at least five seconds for sound to travel from the bottom of the canyon to the top," Li Yuan''s eyes were fixed on the three fruits on the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood: "And it''s estimated to take about eight seconds for the two Second Rank Flying Serpents to return to the bottom of the valley."


    "I have about 13 seconds to snatch the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit and then make my escape," Li Yuan thought rapidly, pondering in his mind.


    Thirteen seconds were the line between life and death.


    "Swish!"


    Li Yuan''s burst of speed was astonishing, even though his velocity had greatly reduced after the collision with one of the Flying Serpents.


    But after a slight adjustment and applying Vigor with Subtlety, his speed once again soared to over a hundred meters per second.


    Faster than all the Flying Serpents present, he could even compare with a Level 20 Prime Warrior.


    Whether it was treasure stealing or a battle for life and death.


    Victory or defeat sometimes hinged on a split second.


    In half a second, Li Yuan had once again covered 40 meters, and the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was now within sight.


    Just then.


    "Bang~" As Li Yuan entered the vicinity of about 50 meters around the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, without warning or any sign, his head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.


    He was momentarily stunned, his legs went soft involuntarily, and he almost stumbled to the ground.


    His movement speed also sharply decreased. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was Spiritual Pressure!


    "Damn!" Li Yuan was shocked inside; this was something neither he nor Liu Jing had anticipated.


    This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood had been releasing a terrifying ''Spiritual Pressure'' within a certain range all along.


    Facing such Spiritual Pressure, even someone with spiritual power as strong as Li Yuan felt as if they had been struck by thunder.


    One could imagine the strength of this pressure.


    "Ao!"


    "Ao~" The dozens of surrounding Flying Serpents, circling roughly sixty meters from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, saw that Li Yuan had entered the fifty-meter zone, their eyes filled with wariness, not daring to approach any closer.


    Why did they circle a hundred meters around the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood?


    It was because they had suffered for it before.


    Even in their memory, when the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was first born, some of the weaker Flying Serpents that carelessly approached too close were literally shaken to death, their consciousness shattered.


    Their bodies showed no wounds, yet they died.


    Rare Heavenly Materials Treasures are powerful, but the rarer they are, the more dangerous they tend to be.


    "These Flying Serpents don''t dare to approach anymore?" Li Yuan noticed this.


    His spiritual power was ultimately strong, he had recovered his clarity, and endured the force of the spiritual pressure.


    He continued to walk towards the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    But most of Li Yuan''s energy had to be used to fend off the Spiritual Pressure, and his speed unconsciously slowed down.


    "Spiritual Pressure?"


    "A ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood really is no ordinary entity," Li Yuan''s eyes revealed shock and joy: "Previously, our Seven Stars human civilization had never recorded a ''Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood'' being so special."


    "Could it be a Fourth Rank treasure?"


    On his first descent into Flying Serpent Valley, Li Yuan had suspected it to be a Fourth Rank treasure, but it was more of a comforting thought than true belief.


    Now? Li Yuan felt it might indeed be a Fourth Rank treasure.


    At the very least, judging from the current signs, its effects should far exceed the ordinary Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit.


    "Strange, with my near Level 29 spiritual power and Level 30 willpower, I''m still finding it difficult; how did the Flying Serpents approach the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood before?" Li Yuan gritted his teeth as he endured and kept approaching.


    Logically, Flying Serpents that hadn''t broken through should only be at Life Level 19, their spiritual power and willpower couldn''t be too strong. Read exclusive chapters at m v l e m p y r


    There were only two possibilities.


    First, this was the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood''s first fruit-bearing.


    Second, once the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits truly matured, this terrifying Spiritual Pressure would dissipate, or at least, its power would diminish greatly.


    "These Flying Serpents can only watch me steal the treasure," Li Yuan''s mind was racing, but his body didn''t dare to relax even slightly.


    At this moment, every second was critical.


    Seconds ticked by.


    The hissing roars of the Flying Serpents echoed continuously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More Flying Serpents, sensing the disturbance, swiftly swooped down from the caves on either side of the cliff.


    The number of Flying Serpents gathered at the bottom of the canyon surged, yet none dared to approach the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Moreover, most of the Flying Serpents still in the caves were only about Level 15, with fairly ordinary strength.


    "Ao!"


    "Ao~" The dozens of Level 19 Flying Serpents at the very front were anxiously hissing, conveying their resolve but still not daring to come close.


    In their subconscious, the spiritual pressure was too tormenting, and the overpowering presence was so strong that even their three leaders would find it difficult to break through directly.


    Let alone them.


    ...


    Above the canyon, on the cliff, thousands of Flying Serpents were frantically attacking Liu Jing.


    Especially the two Second Rank Flying Serpents, fully unleashing their power, their bodies enshrouded in a hazy blue glow like azure dragons, appeared even more terrifying.


    "Roar!" The two Second Rank Flying Serpents roared as they flapped their wings time after time, swinging their claws, and occasionally opened their gaping maws wide, trying to rip Liu Jing to shreds or even swallow him whole.


    The explosive power of the Second Rank Flying Serpents was incomparable to that of the First Rank.


    Huge rocks shattered thunderously as if they were simply tofu.


    Boom! Boom! Countless pieces of rubble fell.


    "Swoosh!" "Swoosh! Swoosh!" Luminous blades rose above the cliff, flames flowing on the blades, indicating terrifying lethality.


    "Pfft!" Liu Jing''s eyes were ice-cold as he swung his saber swiftly.


    And down plunged the corpse of a First Rank Flying Serpent.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Liu Jing''s Combat Saber was as ferocious as fire, and his movements as swift as the wind. He avoided the pounce of the two Second Rank Flying Serpents time after time.


    "Second Rank Flying Serpents are truly troublesome. Although they are far weaker than me, the Origin Power protecting their bodies, combined with their massive size, means I can''t directly kill them for the moment," Liu Jing frowned.


    When it came to skills, the speed of his explosive power, or the robustness of his Origin Power, Liu Jing greatly surpassed both Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    He tormented them time and again.


    But due to their Origin Power shield and the large body size of the Flying Serpents, even after being attacked and injured by Liu Jing repeatedly, they were able to hold on.


    The most crucial point was.


    The Second Rank Flying Serpents could fly and might escape into the sky if they were not careful... and Liu Jing did not want to ascend onto their bodies.


    To do so might allow him to quickly kill them, but the risk was also great, and he could likely be severely injured himself.


    "If this goes on, my Origin Power will be completely exhausted," Liu Jing''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    Fighting in place, whether dodging or attacking, he couldn''t afford to spare his Origin Power. One misstep could cause severe injury, naturally leading to high consumption.


    "Where is Li Yuan? So much time has passed, has he not succeeded yet?" Liu Jing wondered, "Could something have gone wrong?"


    He was concerned for Li Yuan''s safety.


    Suddenly.


    "Roar~" "Roar~" A series of sharp and piercing roars erupted from the valley below, resonating through the Vast Sky.


    In an instant.


    The two Second Rank Flying Serpents immediately stopped their attacks on Liu Jing, their eyes filled with bloodlust.


    They were highly intelligent, rivaling ordinary humans, and immediately realized that they had been lured away by a feint.


    Their home had been stolen.


    "Ao~"


    "Ao~" The two Second Rank Flying Serpents roared with endless fury in their voices, their dragon-like tails swinging to adjust their massive bodies as they dove toward the depths of the clouds in Flying Serpent Valley.


    This roar was also a command.


    "Ao~"


    "Ao~" The thousands of Flying Serpents trying to attack Liu Jing from various directions along the cliffside also began hissing.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Hundreds upon hundreds of Flying Serpents spread their wings and dived toward the fog below, and for a moment, the sky looked as though it was raining dumplings.


    But what fell was not dumplings¡ªit was Flying Serpents!


    "Did he make his move?" Liu Jing instantly understood.


    Li Yuan must have acted, maybe even already seized the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit... Otherwise, these Flying Serpents would not be so frantic, completely ignoring their own safety.


    Boom!


    Liu Jing, just half a beat behind, leaned forward slightly, and as he tilted downward, his legs exploded with power, and like a meteor, he dashed towards the bottom of the canyon.


    Boom! Boom! Liu Jing''s speed was so fierce that he even seemed a bit faster than the two Flying Serpents.


    "Hold on."


    "Li Yuan, you must hold on," Liu Jing focused intently, silently urging in his heart.


    The entire plan''s first phase was for Liu Jing to withstand the attack of so many Flying Serpents.


    The second phase''s key was for Li Yuan to withstand the siege of a large number of Flying Serpents.


    ...


    At the bottom of the canyon, the spiritual pressure from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was astounding.


    But relying on his own nearly Flying Heaven Warrior-level spiritual power, Li Yuan braved this terrifying pressure and, taking about five seconds, covered sixty meters, and reached the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Without a moment''s pause.


    Puff! Puff! Puff!


    In a flash, Li Yuan''s figure shot up, his arms exerting force as he climbed the tree, and swiftly plucked the three yet-to-ripen ''Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit,'' tucking them into his Battle Garment.


    Success was in hand.


    "Time to escape for my life," Li Yuan glanced around, immediately realizing how dire his situation was.

 Chapter 228: Chapter 185 Madness! Contending Against Second Rank!

    Upon his initial inquiry, Li Yuan discovered that the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits had not yet fully matured.


    But their surfaces shimmered with silver light, which according to the Martial Hall''s database, indicated they were entering maturity and would normally be 80 to 90 percent effective.


    Waiting for a Heavenly Materials Treasure to fully mature? Too difficult.


    Many growing Heavenly Materials Treasures, once discovered, are often guarded, and once they mature, they are mostly used right away.


    Even some powerful beings, upon finding many unripe spiritual fruits of Heavenly Materials Treasures, would not hesitate to consume them directly.


    Because, during the growth of Heavenly Materials Treasures, many unusual phenomena often occur, easily attracting the covetous eyes of formidable beings.


    To consume them directly was the best choice. Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r


    Once in the stomach, all is safe.


    Like the Flying Serpent clan, for one, they found it very difficult to withstand the Spiritual Pressure of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, and secondly, they believed in their own clan''s strength to guard the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    That''s why they were in no hurry and patiently waited for it to fully mature.


    But as it turned out, they could guard it temporarily, but not forever.


    "So many Flying Serpents." Li Yuan noticed an alarmingly large number of them all around.


    Suddenly.


    "Hiss hiss hiss~"


    As soon as the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits were picked, this ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood beside Li Yuan began to "collapse" and "contract" all of a sudden, dissolving into the ground like a liquid at lightning speed.


    "Huh? This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood?" Li Yuan was astounded by this scene.


    This was an event not mentioned in the databanks of the Seven Stars human civilization; after all, available cases were limited.


    "Not good." Li Yuan''s expression changed.


    Because!


    The instant the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood began to collapse, Li Yuan felt the horrific spiritual pressure that had enveloped the area for tens of meters disappear without a trace.


    With no Spiritual Pressure, all the Flying Serpents at the bottom of the gorge would be unrestrained!


    At the same time.


    "Buzz~" Li Yuan''s smart ring was trembling madly¡ªit was a message from Liu Jing.


    Although there was no signal within Flying Serpent Valley.


    But with close proximity, as long as it was not blocked by large mountains or specially interfered with, messaging each other was possible.


    And the continuous mad vibrations of the smart ring meant one thing¡ªthe situation was urgent! Second Rank Flying Serpents were returning!


    This was the final phase of the plan.


    It seems slow to describe.


    But in actuality, the moment the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood collapsed and the pressure dissipated, Li Yuan moved, holding the long spear and whooshing into the distance.


    His speed soared.


    "I must meet up with Senior Liu quickly," flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    With his move,


    Thousands of Flying Serpents that had gathered from all directions also began to roar and surge into action.


    From the moment Li Yuan appeared to the seizing of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, a mere eight seconds passed, and already enough Flying Serpents had assembled.


    "Roar roar roar~" A sky-covering swarm of Flying Serpents roared and madly lunged toward Li Yuan.


    These Flying Serpents were at least at Life Level 15.


    Many who had stood on high cliffs also spread their wings at this moment, diving toward Li Yuan, almost obscuring the sky like layers of nets enveloping him from above.


    From all directions!


    Above and below!


    Groups of Flying Serpents, like torrents of black water, rushed crazily towards Li Yuan, wanting to tear him to shreds.


    One could say.


    Against such a sky-covering swarm of Flying Serpents, even a freshly advanced Prime Warrior would find it difficult to get through.


    "Kill!" The eyes of Li Yuan were fierce as he infused Origin Power, fully activating his Origin Power Battle Suit.


    The situation before him was one he had anticipated long ago.


    Since that was the case, and yet he dared to come,


    It meant Li Yuan had great confidence in his own strength.


    Boom! Li Yuan''s figure, like lightning, spear in hand, charged directly into the flood-like swarm of Flying Serpents.


    Whoosh!


    His figure, like a gust of wind, was ethereal and unpredictable as he narrowly dodged a Flying Serpent''s attack.


    "Thud!" His long spear swept through, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and blood sprayed.


    The heads of two Flying Serpents were pierced through, their massive bodies continuing to charge forward by inertia.


    "Bang~" The corpses of the two Flying Serpents hit several others that were falling down, creating a scene reminiscent of a car crash.


    Thump~ Li Yuan stepped ferociously onto the body of a Flying Serpent, dodged a massive bite, and like a nimble elf, stepped on the creature''s head, kicking it so explosively that it burst apart before he used the momentum to spring upwards.


    He darted past the multitude of Flying Serpents like a bolt of lightning.


    Thud! Thud! Thud! Spear Light flashed and blood mists rose!


    One after another, Flying Serpents fell.


    This scene, if seen by other First Rank Martial Artists, would be utterly astonishing and dumbfounding.


    Too formidable.


    In terms of speed, Li Yuan in a state of Subtlety could barely rival a 20th Level Martial Artist.


    But among these Flying Serpents, there were almost some on the verge of 20th Level, the pinnacle of First Rank.


    Concerning power bursts, Li Yuan''s peak was over 90,000 kilograms, comparable to a 20th Level Martial Artist.


    Li Yuan''s explosive speed and power were stronger than any Flying Serpent present,


    But there was no fundamental difference.


    In this overwhelming besiegement, another 19th Level Martial Artist, even equipped with an Origin Power Battle Garment, could only withstand a bit longer at most. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yet Li Yuan could repeatedly seize the ''moment'' in time.


    Always dancing on the edge of a knife, never getting injured.


    Around him, the sky-filled roars and lunges of the Flying Serpents seemed to be under his control.


    This was Unity of Heaven and Man.


    In a state of attuning with heaven and earth,


    Li Yuan''s perception of his own Vigor, the environment, the prediction of enemy moves, and the application of his own techniques reached an unbelievably advanced level.


    By comparison,


    The skills of these Flying Serpents are really too rough, generally only at the Second Rank level, with very few reaching the Third Rank.


    Occasionally.


    Even when faced with an insurmountable swarm of Flying Serpents blocking the way, Li Yuan would charge through decisively, seeking the weakest point and breaking through the obstacles ahead.


    "Boom boom boom~"


    Upon collision with the Flying Serpents, the terrifying impact force came crashing continuously, but Li Yuan could still easily fend it off with his Origin Power Battle Suit.


    Without the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, the Origin Power Battle Suit would be useless to Li Yuan.


    Without the Battle Suit, Li Yuan would not have the slightest margin for error.


    But with the two combined, Li Yuan''s overall strength was elevated to an incredibly terrifying level.


    Just four seconds.


    "Bang~"


    "Pfft!" "Pfft!" Like a whirlwind, the terrifying lethality of Li Yuan''s long spear killed more than forty Flying Serpents, breaking out of the most central and dangerous encirclement.


    "Broke out."


    "Kill." Li Yuan''s eyes were bright and spirited, his heart filled with a soaring battle spirit.


    Those last four seconds.


    Were terrifying and had given Li Yuan a huge shock to his spirit.


    The thrill of skirting the line between life and death made his blood surge even more fervently in his heart.


    That''s right! Extremely dangerous.


    But it is in danger that the most primal force for evolution in life is stimulated.


    It''s only through life and death tribulations that great achievements are made.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s figure was like lightning, grasping vines with one hand and leaping up the cliff face like a monkey, his speed astoundingly quick.


    A single movement and he had leaped tens of meters.


    Charge!


    "Roar~" "Aaah~" A large number of Flying Serpents were diving down from higher up, each one incredibly ferocious.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Below, a massive swarm of Flying Serpents like a torrential flood, using wings and claws, kept leaping up, trying to slay Li Yuan.


    Still a pincer attack.


    "Haha, die." Li Yuan felt an immense thrill in his heart, his mind operating at its limit, unconsciously, he had completely merged with the environment.


    He had but one thought¡ªkill! Carve out a path of blood.


    "Bang~" With a body collision, Li Yuan''s speed soared even faster.


    Pfft!


    The long spear thrust out, directly killing two Flying Serpents; their huge bodies fell, causing a group of Flying Serpents below to slow down significantly, and even following them down into the gorge.


    Whoosh!


    Like a gust of wind, he dodged the frontal assaults of Flying Serpents from both sides, leaping into the air as the two Flying Serpents collided with each other.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Li Yuan had already climbed over a hundred meters up the cliff, initially out of danger.


    "Aaah~"


    A terrifying roar echoed down from the dark mists above.


    Boom! A horrifying gale swept across the cliff sides, a humongous Flying Serpent broke through the clouds, its eyes revealing a crazed intent to kill, swooping down with a howl.


    It''s a Second Rank Flying Serpent!!


    A Flying Serpent of the 21.3rd Level of Life!


    "Here it comes." Li Yuan held his long spear and stared upwards at the massive creature diving down rapidly.


    His whole body gathered power, the tip of his spear raised high.


    "Die!" The Second Rank Flying Serpent glared at Li Yuan, aware that the treasure was on him. Its two front claws, like burning blue flames and taller than a person, reached out.


    "Give it to me! Break!" Li Yuan moved, dodging the terrifying claws, then with a powerful thrust of his legs, the long spear burst forth, a streak of light flashing along its tip.


    Spear Light erupted!


    He unleashed the fastest thrust of the Stellar Spear Technique¡ªDawn Pierces the Clouds.


    "Woosh!"


    This thrust instantly passed over an existing wound on the body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    Even as Origin Power tried desperately to fend off the penetration of the spear tip.


    Still, the strength of Li Yuan''s thrust was so powerful that it enlarged the wound even further.


    "Boom boom boom~"


    The massive body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent collided with the mountain wall; the collision was like a sky crumbling and earth shattering explosion, with countless shattered rocks flying.


    Whoosh!


    A streak of black light passed by, and Li Yuan, dressed in his Origin Power Battle Suit, had darted out from under one of its wings, shooting up towards the sky, swiftly fleeing upwards.


    "Aaaah~~" The Second Rank Flying Serpent let out an angry roar; in the brief exchange, it had not gained any advantage.


    In fact, it was at a slight disadvantage.


    Because Li Yuan had injured it, while its attacks could not even touch him.


    Whoosh!


    The Second Rank Flying Serpent flipped and vibrated its wings, smacking them against the cliff face, once again stirring up numerous shattered stones, lightning-fast pursuing Li Yuan.


    In terms of speed alone, Li Yuan of course could not keep up with it.


    "Roar~" The giant wings swept past, their edges sharp as combat sabers, while its claws also suddenly clawed out.


    Obviously.


    The Second Rank Flying Serpent had also gone mad.


    "Scram!" Li Yuan disposed of a First Rank Flying Serpent with a single spear thrust, and seeing the Second Rank Flying Serpent attacking, his eyes glared back at it.


    Whoosh whoosh~Boom! Boom!


    Man and beast, chasing and fleeing on the cliff face, engaged in an intensely fierce battle.


    This Second Rank Flying Serpent held absolute advantages in terms of strength, speed, and Origin Power among many other aspects.


    But Li Yuan''s movement technique was formidable, easily dodging the fatal moves time and again, even more effortlessly than Liu Jing.


    And his spear, too, was incredibly sharp, inflicting damage on the Second Rank Flying Serpent over and over.

    Li Yuan and the Second-Rank Flying Serpent''s fierce battle also caused a large number of First-Rank Flying Serpents to dare not approach, only daring to watch the battle from afar.


    Several seconds after Li Yuan''s battle with the Second-Rank Flying Serpent. Find more to read at m_v l|-NovelFire


    "Boom!"


    Mist churned above.


    Then, a massive Flying Serpent, over forty meters long, fell powerlessly downward, its huge body tumbling freely.


    It was covered in blood, its waist and abdomen ripped open by a ghastly, terrifying wound, and numerous organs tumbled down with it.


    It was obviously not going to survive.


    Atop its body was a nearly two-meter tall flame figure.


    Clinging to the Flying Serpent''s feathered wings with one hand and holding a Combat Saber in the other, the figure plummeted at high speed.


    It was none other than Liu Jing.


    "Senior Liu!" Li Yuan''s face showed delight, his heart even more shaken.


    The opponent was surrounded by numerous Flying Serpents, yet managed to kill a Second-Rank in such a short time?


    Such formidable strength.


    But before Li Yuan could rejoice,


    "Escape!" Liu Jing erupted in a thunderous roar, seeming utterly desperate.


    Immediately following, he forcefully kicked off the corpse beneath him, propelling himself back to the cliffside.


    Boom!


    Liu Jing slammed against the cliffside, tumbling down over ten meters with the inertia.


    Then, like a streak of light, he stamped against the cliff, using it to leap forward, dashing towards Li Yuan who was battling another Second-Rank Flying Serpent.


    "Escape?" Li Yuan first froze for a moment, then, realizing something, looked up sharply. His pupils constricted instantly.


    Whoosh!


    An even larger Flying Serpent had just broken through the mist, diving down with its wings spread wide, casting a shadow as if to block out the sun. Its eyes were filled with deadly intent.


    It was a Second-Rank Flying Serpent!


    "[Target creature, Life Level is 25.1]" Li Yuan''s complexion changed slightly.


    25.1!!


    Flying Serpent Valley was not home to just two low-level Second-Rank Serpents.


    There was also a Flying Serpent King, close to the high rank of Second-Rank, concealed within!


    This completely exceeded Li Yuan''s expectations and went beyond the original plan he had with Liu Jing.


    Boom!


    The Flying Serpent King swooped in, its terrifying Physical Quality combined with Origin Power and the dive gave it an unbelievable speed.


    As it nosedived, the passage of its wings brought forth fearsome shockwaves that caused the cliffs to explode violently.


    Too fast.


    This moment, the diving speed of the Flying Serpent King nearly reached the speed of sound.


    Whoosh~


    The other Second-Rank Flying Serpent desperately flapped its wings, trying to shake off Li Yuan, creating space for the Flying Serpent King to attack.


    "Want to leave!" Madness filled Li Yuan''s eyes as he doggedly entangled with it.


    At this moment,


    All Li Yuan could think of was his only chance of survival: to stay entangled with this Second-Rank Flying Serpent so the Flying Serpent King couldn''t fully attack him.


    If he faced it alone? It was undoubtedly a death sentence!


    A difference of six levels in Life Level, along with the huge disparity in Physical Quality, would obliterate any skill difference.


    It would be an instant kill.


    "Roar~" The Flying Serpent King made its ultimate dive, letting out an angry roar. As Li Yuan had anticipated, it was wary of harming the other Second-Rank Flying Serpent and did not dare to attack full-force.


    Thwack! A lethal claw swung down, narrowly avoided by Li Yuan in a close shave.


    "Boom!" The other Second-Rank Flying Serpent suddenly rolled in disregard of its wounds, its wing striking Li Yuan with terrible force, flinging him away instantly.


    Li Yuan slammed hard against the cliff wall.


    "Roar~"


    The Flying Serpent King let out an infuriated roar. Its treasures were stolen, its kin slain, and having been previously in slumber, it was now enraged to the extreme, vowing to exterminate these invaders.


    Swish!


    Its wings cut through fiercely, like a giant Combat Saber sweeping everything before it, slicing through numerous rocks as if they were tofu, and slashing towards Li Yuan with lightning speed.


    The angry strike was too fast.


    So fast that Li Yuan couldn''t react in time.


    "Boom!"


    A flaming figure, moving as smoothly on the cliff as if it were flat ground, burst upward in a Flying Heaven motion, brushing past Li Yuan.


    Like a supreme War God, it met the furious downward swipe of the wing head-on.


    Accompanied by the flame figure''s soaring charge,


    "Quick, escape." A roar almost simultaneously echoed in Li Yuan''s ears.


    It was Liu Jing!


    In this critical moment, Liu Jing finally rushed up from below, completely frenzied.


    "Kill!" Liu Jing fixed his gaze on the descending giant wing, swinging his Combat Saber resolutely.


    "Whoosh!"


    A blaze of saber light shone brilliantly, slashing from bottom to top, directly meeting the descending massive snake wing.


    "Boom~"


    The collision of the two Second-Rank powerhouses erupted with a terrifying noise, and the shockwaves spread wildly in all directions.


    The staggering impact, transmitted through the saber and the Battle Garment, caused Liu Jing to involuntarily fall, with rocks tumbling around him.


    He swung his saber in counter.


    "Clang~" The Combat Saber stabbed into the cliffside lightning-fast, immediately creating a visible terrifying crack.


    He slid tens of meters before finally stopping.


    Meanwhile, the massive Flying Serpent King also suffered, as it shook its wings to gain altitude. One of its wings bore a deep wound revealing bone.


    But with Origin Power circulating, it locked down its muscles, preventing much blood from spilling.


    "Whoosh!" sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The 21.3 level Second-Rank Flying Serpent that had been battling with Li Yuan watched intently from hundreds of meters away on the other side of the gorge, eyeing Li Yuan and Liu Jing with eyes full of malice.


    After the previous battle, even the more powerful Second-Rank Flying Serpent had been killed by Liu Jing.


    It knew it was no match for Liu Jing.


    Even Li Yuan seemed slightly stronger.


    However, with the strength of this Second-Rank Flying Serpent, Li Yuan and Liu Jing had to remain on guard.


    "We must leave, my Origin Power is running low," Liu Jing growled urgently: "I can''t hold out much longer."


    "If you don''t escape Flying Serpent Valley before I die, then soon no one will be able to escape."


    Li Yuan''s face changed.


    Origin Power nearly depleted?


    Second Rank warriors may have formidable physical quality.


    But the core of their powerful vitality is still Origin Power.


    Without Origin Power, it''s more than ten times easier for a First Rank to pile up and kill a Second Rank warrior.


    "Senior, I..." Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    "Stop the nonsense, get moving, don''t let me die in vain," Liu Jing''s voice was icy cold, "It was my plan that failed, now I''m giving you a chance to escape."


    Liu Jing''s face was covered by his battle garment, preventing Li Yuan from seeing his expression.


    If he could have seen it,


    Li Yuan would definitely have noticed the terrifying determination and madness in Liu Jing''s eyes at that moment.


    No more hesitation.


    "Whoosh!" With a flash, Li Yuan quickly retreated into the distance.


    "Roar~"


    The Flying Serpent King, with a body length close to 50 meters and wings that darkened the sky, let out an enraged roar upon seeing this and then, with a thunderous boom, abruptly dived towards Li Yuan.


    Liu Jing?


    No! Its target was Li Yuan; it had to take back the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit first.


    Boom! The Flying Serpent King''s speed soared, and the air burst loudly.


    "Kill Li Yuan?"


    "Not without getting past me first," a hint of resoluteness flashed in Liu Jing''s eyes.


    The past dozen seconds.


    Liu Jing was originally pursuing two Second Rank Flying Serpents when suddenly the Flying Serpent King emerged, giving him a big scare.


    Without hesitation, he desperately tried to kill the stronger of the two Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    Then the Flying Serpent King made its move.


    In the current situation, Liu Jing had already figured it out, escape together? His Origin Power wasn''t enough to sustain continued combat, certain death without a doubt!


    Escape alone? Li Yuan would be killed in one strike by the Flying Serpent King, and then it would still pursue him, leading to an inevitable battle.


    If that''s the case.


    "Then let''s fight! Fight! A Level 25 Flying Serpent King? So covert and unrevealed, it deserves to die," Liu Jing roared inwardly.


    At that moment, without any hesitation, he directly executed his most powerful Origin Power Secret Technique¡ªBurning Stars.


    Burning his Star Meridians! Burning his Life Star! Activating all the Origin Power potential contained within his body.


    Boom!


    Liu Jing''s body flames burned even hotter, his legs powered up, creating afterimages as he raced along the mountain wall towards Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The Flying Serpent King''s wings vibrated, trying to dodge.


    "Dodge your mother!!" Liu Jing roared, his legs fiercely trampling the solid rocks.


    Boom!


    He shot out like a cannonball, his speed soaring, darting through the sky like lightning, precisely aiming at the Flying Serpent King diving towards Li Yuan.


    Too fast.


    The Flying Serpent Valley was too narrow for the Flying Serpent King and Liu Jing.


    The two were only a hundred meters apart.


    "Bang~" Liu Jing''s entire body instantly collided with the massive body of the Flying Serpent King, the terrible impact causing the Flying Serpent King to involuntarily start tumbling.


    "Kill!"


    Threads of fiery saber light blossomed layer upon layer, Liu Jing completely unleashed his power, executing the "Burning Stars" secret technique, leaving him no way out.


    Only a desperate struggle could bring victory.


    "Roar~ Shout!!" The Flying Serpent King roared furiously, the repeated injuries driving it completely mad, its huge slender eyes fixated on Liu Jing.


    In an instant,


    The Flying Serpent King made up its mind¡ª to kill this human.


    Li Yuan? He had already been removed from its priority list of targets.


    "Roar~"


    The Flying Serpent King let out an enraged roar, its massive body tumbling as wings, claws, and gaping maw...all became weapons in its frenzied attack on Liu Jing.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Liu Jing, with astonishing speed, rapidly moved across its colossal body, desperately dodging its attacks, avoiding being thrown off.


    "Rumble~"


    At that moment, a stream of flame and a beam of blue light furiously clashed and battled each other, relentlessly chasing each other.


    Gradually falling deeper into the canyon, the terrifying aftermath of their confrontation caused many weaker Flying Serpents along their path to die.


    ...


    Seeing the terrifyingly strong Flying Serpent King entangled,


    Whoosh! Li Yuan bit his lip, understood it wasn''t the time for sentimentality, seized the opportunity, his figure flickered and rapidly escaped higher up the canyon.


    Thud! Thud! The long spear shot out, striking and killing several Flying Serpents blocking the way, causing them to plummet into the depths of the canyon.


    "Roar~"


    A fearsome piercing scream echoed through Flying Serpent Valley.


    Li Yuan glanced up slightly to see a huge Flying Serpent breaking through the clouds and swiftly diving towards him.


    It was that 21.3 Level Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    It had been ordered by the Flying Serpent King to pursue and kill Li Yuan.


    Roar~ Roar~


    A large number of Level 18 and above Flying Serpents, also following the commands of the Flying Serpent King, were crazily converging on Li Yuan from all directions.


    "Again?" Li Yuan''s eyes were cold as ice as he fended off the attacks from the Second Rank Flying Serpent while desperately fleeing.


    Speeding along the mountain wall toward the top of the ravine like lightning.


    Prime Warriors, with their robust Origin Power, don''t demand much from the terrain once they start fighting for their lives.


    But ultimately, Li Yuan was still not up to par; his strength was greatly limited on the mountain wall.


    Rumble~ The battle was intense.


    However,


    If it had started at the bottom of the valley, two Second Rank Flying Serpents leading a large group of First Rank could have had a chance to besiege and kill Li Yuan.


    Now there was only one left, in addition to the higher-ranked Flying Serpents scattered from being killed?


    Thinking of stopping Li Yuan was nothing short of a fool''s dream.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan had already rushed into the clouds, his ascent rate increasing ever faster, and the Second Rank Flying Serpent was completely unable to handle Li Yuan... even sustaining continuous injuries from Li Yuan''s attacks.


    The Second Rank Flying Serpent, which was already severely injured by Liu Jing, now had even more grievous wounds.


    Dozens of seconds later, Li Yuan had burst through the clouds, less than five hundred meters from the cliff top.


    Suddenly,


    "Roar~" A dismal scream tore through the vast sky, traveling up from the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley, the sound thunderous, as if it contained endless rage and reluctance.

 Chapter 230: Chapter 187 Shut Up, You Wont Die (Extra 5)

    ```


    This roar echoed through heaven and earth.


    "The Flying Serpent King''s roar?" Li Yuan''s complexion slightly changed.


    He couldn''t understand the language of the Flying Serpent Clan and was unclear about what was happening at the bottom of the valley.


    But Li Yuan faintly sensed that the Flying Serpent King seemed to have suffered a heavy injury.


    Could it be that Senior Liu Jing had won?


    As Li Yuan was filled with amazement and doubts,


    "Ao! Ang!!" A Second Rank Flying Serpent that had been leading a large group of Flying Serpents in a frenzied attack on Li Yuan.


    The moment it heard the roar, its eyes instantly turned blood-red.


    "Boom!" The Second Rank Flying Serpent suddenly turned, no longer caring about attacking Li Yuan, and with a flap of its wings and its head pointing downward, it was about to dive toward the bottom of the valley.


    And it also felt that the hope of killing Li Yuan was becoming even more distant.


    At this moment, it was as if something at the bottom of the Flying Serpent Valley was more valuable than the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits on Li Yuan''s body.


    However,


    Just as the Second Rank Flying Serpent decided to retreat not even 0.3 seconds ago and had just descended over twenty meters,


    Boom! A figure abruptly charged out from the slanting slope of a distant mountain side.


    Falling rapidly, like a meteor, it already landed fiercely on the body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    It was Li Yuan.


    In this split-second, Li Yuan immediately made a decision ¡ª to return to the bottom of the valley!


    "Senior Liu is powerful, and in battle with the Flying Serpent King, he might have won!"


    "Let''s take a gamble," a trace of madness flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes.


    If he fled now, Li Yuan would have a great chance of saving his life, and he could also obtain three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    But Li Yuan hesitated in his heart.


    "Let''s fight!" The instant Li Yuan made his decision,


    He almost replicated Senior Liu Jing''s action, only the target was now the Second Rank Flying Serpent, whose strength was far inferior to that of the Flying Serpent King.


    Boom!


    After slamming fiercely into the body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent,


    Li Yuan''s long spear in his hand erupted instantly, thrusting straight at the waist of the Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    With this sudden explosive thrust, the strength was so great it pierced right through the Second Rank Flying Serpent''s Origin Power defense.


    The spear tip struck the surface of the skin; in an instant, it tore open a huge wound.


    Blood splattered.


    ¡­


    At the bottom of the Flying Serpent Valley, a tragic battle was gradually nearing its end.


    "Pu-chi~" "Pu!"


    The previously majestic Flying Serpent King, now, had become exceedingly miserable.


    One of its gigantic wings was completely torn off by Liu Jing''s combat saber, and its enormous body was covered in countless wounds inflicted by combat sabers.


    But it was still struggling to battle with Liu Jing, constantly swinging its claws, trying to force Liu Jing back.


    "Die."


    Liu Jing''s eyes were blood-red, already utterly frenzied, his figure flickered like lightning, over and over he swung his combat saber getting closer, attacking the same wound on the body of the Flying Serpent King.


    Pu! Pu-chi! Pu! Flesh and blood flew in all directions.


    Having lost a wing, the impact on the Flying Serpent King was immense.


    The strength it could exert had suddenly dropped by a large margin.


    Most crucially, in terms of combat skills, Liu Jing was completely superior to it.


    Strength, speed? In Liu Jing''s Burning Star state, going all out, the difference between them could almost be neglected.


    The key was that Liu Jing also had the Origin Power Battle Suit, which could completely withstand its many attacks.


    "Die!" the Flying Serpent King roared, constantly bellowing out in its own racial language.


    Its formidable spiritual power allowed it to sense that Liu Jing''s life force was rapidly fading.


    He was on his last legs.


    Just to hold on a bit longer, the Flying Serpent King believed it could live to the end.


    Having lost a wing?


    As long as it was alive, there was still hope.


    "Boom!" Liu Jing suddenly surged forward, once again rushing towards the side where the wing had been torn, attempting to attack that largest wound.


    This wound was nearest to the heart of the Flying Serpent King.


    "Roar!" The Flying Serpent King growled lowly, its long tail swung fiercely, its massive body retreated explosively, and another wing swept toward Liu Jing.


    Trying to block Liu Jing.


    In that instant,


    Boom! Liu Jing''s figure moved in an instant, using an extremely tricky movement technique, he suddenly leaped towards another huge wound on the waist of the Flying Serpent King.


    "Peng~"


    Blood splattered, this time it was not the combat saber slicing through the wound, but Liu Jing himself crashing into this huge wound.


    "What?" The Flying Serpent King was startled and enraged, it immediately set in motion a thought, its massive body rolling, powerful Vigor surging wildly within, wave after wave of Origin Power also rushing, trying to grind into pieces Liu Jing, who was rampaging inside its body.


    "Looking for death!!" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Flying Serpent King gritted its teeth, Origin Power operating within its body, its might was even more terrifying.


    "Starburst."


    As Liu Jing entered the body of the Flying Serpent King, a trace of madness passed through his eyes.


    Whosh! Whosh!


    His arms turned into two balls of fire in an instant, burning wildly, their might erupting to the utmost.


    "Heart." Liu Jing charged forth.


    "Ahh ahh ahh~" The Flying Serpent King let out a frenzied roar, its massive body rolling wildly.


    It only felt waves of heart-piercing pain erupting within its body.


    ¡­


    Rumble~ The massive body of the Flying Serpent King tumbled wildly, its dreadful tail smashed against the mountain walls as if an earthquake was occurring, causing countless rocks to roll down.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Flying Serpents, each and every one of them, were retreating in utter terror, looking on from a distance at this scene.


    Although the wisdom of most First Rank Flying Serpents was not high,


    At this moment, most of them understood that their king was suffering unparalleled agony.


    Suddenly,


    "Rumble~" within the rolling mist,


    ```


    ```


    A massive Flying Serpent broke through the fog, rolling as it plummeted, colliding with the cliffside, its wings still struggling, before crashing down.


    Just as it was about to smash heavily into the ground.


    Whoosh!


    A black streak of light suddenly shot out from the body of the Flying Serpent, followed by the heavy thud of its body slamming into the muddy earth, shaking the ground violently, sending up a splash of water, grass, and dirt.


    Boom¡ªLi Yuan, holding a long spear, landed heavily on the ground.


    The Second Rank Flying Serpent behind him was still struggling, but it was futile¡­ A shocking, gaping hole was in its head.


    It was doomed.


    "The King of the Flying Serpents," Li Yuan stared intently at the King of the Flying Serpents several hundred meters away, rolling in agony.


    From the state of the creature and the wounds tearing open and bleeding at its waist.


    Li Yuan instantly deduced¡ªElder Liu Jing had penetrated the King of the Flying Serpents'' body.


    This made Li Yuan gasp in shock.


    It was utterly insane.


    All of a sudden.


    "Pop¡ª" A barely perceptible blast sounded, and the King of the Flying Serpents'' eyes bulged out round in an instant.


    It felt its heart¡ªexplode!


    If it were a Flying Heaven Warrior, it might survive a shattered heart, but for First Rank and Second Rank warriors¡­ without extremely special treasures, a shattered heart meant certain death.


    "Roar¡ª" The King of the Flying Serpents felt its life force rapidly draining away, rushing towards death.


    It was filled with unwillingness.


    As the ruler of the Flying Serpent Valley, it had been concealing itself in deep cultivation, hiding in the depths of the valley, and never showing itself for fear of being discovered by other clan''s powerhouses.


    As a Flying Serpent from Ming Mountain, it also longed to become a ''Flying Heaven Warrior,'' to return to Ming Mountain, to return home.


    But now, all that was destined to come to nothing.


    "This?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.


    His powerful spiritual power could feel the life force of the King of the Flying Serpents rapidly fading.


    "Huff!"


    The King of the Flying Serpents, which had been rolling in pain and madness, abruptly stopped.


    Its head turned, and a pair of snake eyes stared dead at Li Yuan hundreds of meters away.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan was inwardly startled and immediately sensed the terrifying intentions of the King of the Flying Serpents.


    Boom! Li Yuan immediately retreated hastily.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan retreated, but the King of the Flying Serpents charged even faster, its eyes locked on Li Yuan, letting out one last roar in its life, exerting the very last bit of its strength.


    It charged at Li Yuan like lightning.


    It was too fast, the huge difference in life levels allowed the King to catch up to Li Yuan only a hundred meters into his retreat.


    "Pop¡ª"


    A terrifying force hit Li Yuan, flinging him backward in an instant.


    He flew out for over a hundred meters.


    Li Yuan finally tumbled and crashed onto the muddy grassland, several Blood-Activating Origin Spirit Elixirs broken and scattered from the impact.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan rolled over and half-knelt on the ground, unable to help spitting out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, feeling as if his entire body was about to explode.


    The impact of the collision was terrifying.


    Li Yuan believed that the King of the Flying Serpents was indeed at the end of its tether, but even so, the power of this furious blow was astonishing.


    Even though the Origin Power Battle Suit had absorbed most of the impact force, it still caused him a heavy injury with just the shock to his body.


    Hum¡ªAs the Origin Power circulated, Li Yuan felt much better.


    "The King of the Flying Serpents," Li Yuan looked over.


    He saw the King of the Flying Serpents that had unleashed the last strike of its life, its gaze completely dimmed, finally losing its life.


    Thus.


    Within the Flying Serpent Valley, all three of the Second Rank leaders of the Flying Serpent Clan were dead.


    "Roar¡ª"


    "Growl¡ª" On both sides of the ravine and even on the mountain walls, numerous Flying Serpents were still growling and roaring at Li Yuan.


    But fear was filling their eyes.


    The First Rank Flying Serpents had been fighting so fiercely without fear of death because their leaders were overseeing the battle.


    Now that the three mighty leaders were all dead, how could they possibly win?


    However.


    Without any Second Rank Life, Li Yuan didn''t much care about these First Rank Flying Serpents.


    "[TARGET LIFE HAS EXPIRED]" Li Yuan worried that the other might be feigning death, and finally used the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Confirmed without error.


    No more hesitation.


    Whoosh! Like a bolt of lightning, Li Yuan''s figure dashed out, hurtling over a hundred meters.


    He raced toward the collision-stricken body of the King of the Flying Serpents by the mountainside, heading straight for the large wound.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s eyes were slightly red as he charged into the gaping hole filled with bloody flesh.


    "Elder Liu." Your next read is at m v|l-e-NovelFire


    "You must survive! You must!" Li Yuan roared in his heart, filled with an obsessive determination.


    Li Yuan had risked his life to return to the bottom of the Flying Serpent Valley, all to rescue the other.


    Seconds later.


    Squish¡ªPop!


    An injured Li Yuan struggled to drag out a half-destroyed, blood-stained ''corpse'' from the wound of the King of the Flying Serpents'' body.


    Huff!


    He leaned the body against a relatively clean boulder.


    "Elder Liu," Li Yuan growled, wiping the filthy blood from the other''s head.


    "Cough¡ª"


    "Cough, cough!!" Liu Jing, whose Origin Power was already drained and couldn''t even sustain his Battle Garment, retained a sliver of consciousness: "Li Yuan, why have you come back? I am dying."


    "Shut up, you''re not dying." Li Yuan''s eyes were slightly red as he roared back.


    Huff!


    Suddenly, a purple Elixir appeared in Li Yuan''s hand, emitting an odd fragrance. He pinched Liu Jing''s chin and directly placed it into his mouth.


    ```

 Chapter 231: Chapter 188: Escape to Survival

    Li Yuan pulled out what Li Yang had given him as a life-saving treasure before, the "Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill."


    Below a Flying Heaven Warrior, anyone who took it would survive as long as their head did not suffer a fatal injury, and they would recover from all their wounds.


    "This... argh..." Liu Jing was extremely weak, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to speak.


    He guessed that Li Yuan had taken out something to save lives and wanted to stop him.


    However, his Origin Power was completely exhausted. He had just fought desperately to kill the king of the Flying Serpents, used a life-risking secret technique, and lost both arms and a leg. In addition, he was at very close range to the surging Origin Power impact of the Flying Serpent King.


    It could be said that it was only good luck that he hadn''t died on the spot.


    He could only let Li Yuan do as he pleased.


    "Gulp~" Liu Jing swallowed the Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill, and Li Yuan let go of his mouth, still looking at Liu Jing with some concern.


    Although Li Yang had boasted about it, Li Yuan still had a trace of doubt in his heart, given how severely injured Liu Jing was.


    But just a few seconds later.


    "Hm?" A trace of surprise flashed through Li Yuan''s heart.


    "Ah~" Liu Jing''s body suddenly shook violently, emitting a low roar, his face showing a hint of pain.


    It seemed he was enduring great pain.


    But his low roar made Li Yuan''s eyes light up.


    His voice was much stronger than one would expect from a dying man¡ªthe Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill seemed to have pulled Liu Jing back from the brink of death.


    "Sss~" Intense pain swept through Liu Jing''s entire body.


    Even his strong willpower was nearly at its limit, and he couldn''t help but let out low roars of pain. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    That terrible pain made the veins on Liu Jing''s face bulge violently.


    It hurt too much.


    "Good, very good! Truly great!" Li Yuan''s face, however, revealed a trace of joy.


    He had won the bet; Liu Jing was saved!


    In Li Yuan''s perception, Liu Jing''s life force was rapidly recovering, climbing from previously less than level 10 in Life Level, it was now continuously rising.


    Level 13, 13.5, 14, 14.4...


    And even.


    Li Yuan watched as Liu Jing''s limbs, which had been destroyed, were crazily regrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye¡ªflesh, bones, sinews... everything extending.


    As his maimed limbs grew, the polluted blood that had been contained within Liu Jing''s body was also being forced out by the medicine''s effect.


    "Growth this fast?" Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    He finally understood why Li Yang valued the ''Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill'' so much, calling it ''priceless'' and an object of pursuit among Prime Warriors.


    The effect was indeed exaggerated.


    Raising the dead was definitely not possible, but regrowing flesh over bone was in no way an exaggeration.


    "Ahhhh~" Liu Jing''s eyes bulged.


    His face had regained a healthy complexion, and he couldn''t help but burst into a series of low roars.


    He indeed felt his life force crazily recovering.


    However, the pain of limbs regrowing in an extremely short time was truly unbearable for ordinary people.


    It was so painful that Liu Jing almost felt like dying.


    "Sss~" His bones kept growing.


    As if they were grinding against his flesh.


    "Ah!" After a sudden roar, Liu Jing could no longer bear it and completely passed out.


    Sss~ Only Liu Jing''s body kept trembling.


    "Passed out? It seems Senior Liu''s willpower isn''t as strong as I imagined. Is it that painful?" Li Yuan muttered, "It''s better that he''s passed out."


    Being unconscious, sometimes, was a form of self-protection.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan grabbed Liu Jing and slung him onto his back.


    "Hum~" The black Battle Garment that originally covered only the skin''s surface flowed like liquid, instantly securing Liu Jing''s body onto Li Yuan with rope-like strands.


    Li Yuan gave a shake; it was very stable.


    "Time to go." Li Yuan surveyed his surroundings, which still remained dangerous.


    So much time had passed, and more and more Flying Serpents had been gathering from all directions.


    Although there was no Second Rank Flying Serpent leading them, and the continuous fierce battles had inflicted heavy casualties on them, most of the Flying Serpents were now full of timidity and fear.


    But don''t forget.


    Many powerful Flying Serpents, especially those at level 19, still remembered that Li Yuan had taken away the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    In the eyes of these Flying Serpents, the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits represented their hope of breaking through to Second Rank.


    "What a pity."


    "Alone and having to carry Senior Liu." Li Yuan glanced at the huge corpse of the Flying Serpent King.


    Such a Second Rank Alien Race creature was valuable all over¡ªblood, flesh, skin, bones... could all be sold for extremely high prices.


    If the entire corpse could be safely brought back to Xia Country, Li Yuan estimated that it could sell for at least two to three hundred million Blue Star Coins.


    Unfortunately, there was no way for Li Yuan alone to move such a colossal corpse from the deep valley.


    With that thought.


    Whoosh!


    With a slight exertion of his legs, Li Yuan, carrying Liu Jing, leaped onto the head of the Flying Serpent King''s corpse.


    The short knife landed in his hand.


    "Sss~" Li Yuan followed an existing wound on the giant''s head and forcefully cut down.


    But he only left shallow blood marks.


    "Damn! It''s this hard?" Li Yuan''s eyes widened. Though he had anticipated the skin of a level 25 Flying Serpent King to be incredibly tough, he didn''t expect it to be this strong.


    A force of a hundred thousand pounds had been unleashed.


    At that moment, Li Yuan realized how fortunate he was to have survived the Flying Serpent King''s final blow.


    The gap between Level 19 and Level 25 is simply too vast.


    "Buzz~" With a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power surged into the dagger, a faint yellow streamer swept across the blade, and he slashed down fiercely once again.


    "Rip~" This time, he finally managed to make a cut. The blade, infused with Origin Power, forcefully carved around the sharp horn on the head of the Flying Serpent King and ultimately plunged deep into the flesh.


    Merely ten or so seconds.


    A sharp horn, approximately thirty centimeters high and with its flesh blurred, appeared in front of Li Yuan.


    "Second Rank Flying Serpents can barely be considered as lesser dragons or lesser flood dragons," Li Yuan mused silently. "Their snake horns are a sign of evolution and are worth at least tens of millions of Blue Star Coins."


    Extremely rare.


    It was also the most valuable part of the Flying Serpent King''s body, second only to the pair of sharp claws of the Flying Serpent King.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan placed the huge horn at his waist, and the battle suit extended several black threads again, firmly wrapping it against his body.


    The Origin Power Battle Suit was active and could freely change its shape, forming packs, extending in length, and so on.


    But there was one thing.


    The farther it extended outward, the more its most important ''defense'' capability would decline, so the user had to gauge it carefully.


    "What a pity," Li Yuan glanced at the pair of claws, each of which was taller than a person.


    Incredibly sharp!


    Just this pair of claws would be worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins, but unfortunately, they were too big, and there was no way Li Yuan could take them with him.


    "This is enough."


    "Being too greedy can choke you; it''s best to stop while you''re ahead," a teaching of his uncle surfaced in Li Yuan''s mind ¨C seek fortune amidst danger but also risk losing it all.


    If it was purely for wealth, there was no need to be overly frantic.


    "Let''s go!"


    After storing away the dagger, Li Yuan''s figure moved, gripping the long spear as he darted towards the distance with astonishing speed.


    Seeing Li Yuan truly attempting to escape,


    "Roar~"


    "Roar~" The Flying Serpents above Level 19 could no longer restrain themselves and rushed over with fierce roars.


    They also tried to command other Flying Serpents to intercept Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Not only did many Flying Serpents on the ground lunge over, but from the cliff sides, several others also swooped down with outstretched wings from high above, aiming at Li Yuan as he ascended swiftly.


    "Pfft!"


    "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Terrifying spear shadows swept across the vast sky, and the bodies of the Flying Serpents charging at Li Yuan were either torn apart or their heads were pierced. Their massive bodies fell towards the ground one after another.


    Not one was a match for him.


    Previously, even the 21.3 Level Flying Serpent leader, leading a substantial number of First Rank Flying Serpents in attack, was rapidly killed by Li Yuan in a desperate fight.


    Let alone these ordinary Flying Serpents of mere Level 16 or 17.


    In fact.


    During the initial inquiry, had it not been for the discovery of two Second Rank Flying Serpents, Li Yuan might have directly taken action.


    First Rank? Now there were hardly any that Li Yuan took seriously.


    Whoosh!


    Ascending along the cliff at high speed, the Flying Serpents daring to intercept became fewer and fewer. Soon after, Li Yuan had flipped over the cliff and swiftly disappeared into the vast forests.


    Inside Flying Serpent Valley, only a scene of devastation remained along with bodies, as the mournful wails of the Flying Serpents echoed continuously.


    ...


    With Liu Jing on his back, Li Yuan quickly escaped from the confines of Flying Serpent Valley, not daring to delay for even a moment.


    "So much time has passed."


    "If the high-level members of the Tianliang Clan really make a move and send a Prime Warrior here, they could be very close to Flying Serpent Valley by now," Li Yuan had firmly decided that it was best to quickly flee far away first.


    Li Yuan did not believe he could stand against the Tianliang Clan''s army alone.


    Escaping was the right path.


    ...


    Guided by the map.


    In less than twenty minutes, Li Yuan had escaped more than 30 kilometers, and the signal from his smart ring had completely recovered.


    "I should first report the situation to base, to prevent any misjudgments by other senior members," Li Yuan instinctively looked back at Liu Jing, who was still unconscious.


    Liu Jing''s limbs had fully regrown, and his breathing had become long and steady.


    His life force was growing stronger.


    "My encounter with Senior Liu Jing..." Li Yuan organized his words and reported the rough situation at Flying Serpent Valley, mainly about how he and Liu Jing battled three Second Rank Flying Serpents and ultimately killed them all, as well as the process of Liu Jing''s severe injury.


    He only concealed the matter of the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    If Flying Serpent Valley was suitable for establishing a war base, it should be up to the country to develop it.


    But as for the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits, from beginning to end, they were a spoil of war seized by him and Senior Liu Jing. Li Yuan did not intend to share them with anyone else.


    Li Yuan wanted to avoid unnecessary troubles and covetous eyes.


    After taking care of all this,


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, continuing his journey toward Outpost Base Number Three.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan''s heart, the farther from Flying Serpent Valley, the safer it was. Discover stories with m,v l-NovelFire


    ...


    About two hours after the fierce battle between Li Yuan and Liu Jing in Flying Serpent Valley,


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three figures moved extremely fast, each surpassing eighty meters per second, easily dodged the Flying Serpents, and arrived above the canyon of Flying Serpent Valley.


    "Xue Shu, is this the ''Flying Serpent Valley'' you spoke of? Where is the Seven Stars human Prime Warrior you mentioned in your transmission?" a burly man with black skin asked in a deep voice, peering down at the foggy canyon.


    In the valley, the roars of the Flying Serpents could still be heard sporadically.

 Chapter 232: Chapter 189 Liu Jing Awakens, Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes)

    "I just explored the surroundings, and there are quite a few Flying Serpent corpses, but I haven''t discovered any traces of the Seven Stars humans so far," another tall, thin man dressed in a battle suit said quietly.


    "Delgado, Mo Li, do you really suspect that I am lying?" A trace of anger flit through the eyes of the demonically enchanting youth ''Xue Shu'' in the blood-red robe.


    The burly man and Mo Li exchanged glances but said nothing.


    In terms of strength, as Second Rank warriors, they naturally had the upper hand over Xue Shu.


    But the other party was a core disciple of the Holy Land and held a higher sequence level within the Tianliang Clan than they did.


    "It shouldn''t be, how could there be none..." Xue Shu, the demonically enchanting youth in a blood-red robe, surveyed the canyon below and after scanning it twice, his expression suddenly changed, "This is bad, we''re too late."


    "Look over there," Xue Shu pointed to a cliff about a kilometer away, "There are many Flying Serpent corpses."


    "What?"


    "Flying Serpent corpses?" The burly man and the tall, thin young man immediately looked over.


    On that gentle slope of a cliff, Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    lay numerous Flying Serpent corpses, and there were evident signs of an intense battle on the mountain wall.


    It''s just that they were right above this particular part of the cliff.


    Plus, with the large number of Flying Serpent corpses, the blood, and the vines being similar in color, they hadn''t noticed them at first glance.


    "Not just one place, look there, there are also signs of battle," Xue Shu said.


    "And there as well." With careful observation, the three Tianliang Clan experts discovered even more traces.


    It was enough to deduce


    that a brutal battle had erupted inside Flying Serpent Valley not long before.


    "Such a fierce battle, it must have been Second Rank combatants. Are we too late?" Delgado, the burly man, frowned, "Xue Shu, did you say there are Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits at the bottom of the valley?"


    "There''s a ninety percent chance," Xue Shu nodded heavily, as he had his own method of judgment.


    "Then let''s go," Delgado said quietly, "to find out the truth."


    "All of us?" Mo Li, the tall, thin young man, frowned, "Could there be an ambush?"


    "You can choose not to go, I don''t mind. And if the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits are still there, don''t be upset if I hide one or two for myself," Delgado said indifferently.


    With that,


    whoosh! Delgado''s figure moved, and he quickly sped towards the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley along the cliff.


    "Let''s go," Mo Li shrugged and immediately rushed downward.


    "These two guys." Xue Shu gritted his teeth. His strength was the weakest, and naturally, he was reluctant to delve into the peril-filled Flying Serpent Valley... but he was also extremely eager for the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    "Let''s give it a try."


    "If I really run into danger, Delgado and the others won''t harm me," Xue Shu thought to himself, "Moreover, it seems that not all of the Flying Serpent tribe died, and there''s no sign of the Seven Stars human warriors."


    "Most likely, the Seven Stars human martial artists have left," Xue Shu still harbored some hope in his heart.


    Whoosh! Xue Shu also followed closely, continuously descending the cliff.


    Without any attempt to conceal their presence, the three great powerhouses of the Tianliang Clan charged violently along their way, easily slaughtering any Flying Serpents that dared to block their path.


    Finally, these Flying Serpents scattered one after another, mistaking these humans as being from ''the same group'' since they looked quite similar.


    A few minutes later.


    The three great warriors of the Tianliang Clan fought their way to the bottom of the valley, and when they saw the large number of Flying Serpent corpses, especially those of the three Second Rank Flying Serpents, they all fell completely silent.


    "All dead?"


    "Three Second Rank Flying Serpents, all killed?"


    "This Flying Serpent, judging from its size, was at least 24 years old, right? It has been killed too?" Delgado and Mo Li''s expressions shifted slightly, a sense of crisis beginning to rise in their hearts.


    Both of them, one at Sequence Level 24, the other just at 23.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three Tianliang Clan warriors dispersed, inquiring in all directions.


    They soon regathered.


    "There are traces of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, but no Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was found, so it is unclear whether it was recently harvested or consumed by the Second Rank Flying Serpents earlier," Mo Li said in a low voice, holding a palm-sized special instrument in his hand.


    "The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is gone?" Xue Shu''s face became extremely ugly.


    He had been planning for a long time for the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit.


    "Also, I''ve done a preliminary check, and there is likely an ''Origin Crystal vein'' beneath this gorge," continued Mo Li.


    "What?"


    "An Origin Crystal vein?" Delgado and Xue Shu''s expressions changed dramatically¡ª they were all too aware of the value of Origin Crystals.


    Origin Crystals, high-energy Origin Power crystals, had a multitude of uses, especially as the driving core in various Origin Power Weapons researched by the technological civilization.


    The core of the Origin Crystal was often referred to as ''Marrow Crystal,'' with an even more exorbitantly high value.


    "Based on my preliminary calculations, it''s just a small vein," Mo Li continued. "Of course, precise testing would require specialized instruments and personnel."


    Delgado and Xue Shu''s expressions relaxed slightly¡ªa small vein? That wasn''t as exaggerated.


    "No wonder there are so many Blood Nourishing Source Ganoderma thriving here; there''s actually an Origin Crystal vein underground," murmured Delgado, a gleam in his eyes: "We must seize this place, and once we successfully establish a base and begin excavating...


    even if it''s just a small Origin Crystal vein, we, as discoverers and initial developers, can easily share tens of billions, or even more, of ''Tianliang Currency''."


    Mo Li and Xue Shu couldn''t help nodding, a trace of longing in their eyes.


    Tens of billions of Tianliang Currency? That was a huge fortune for any Second Rank stronghold.


    "The biggest trouble is the Seven Stars Human Civilization," said Mo Li softly. "Someone capable of taking down three Second Rank Flying Serpents and leaving safely without using any kind of thermal weapons... The strength of the Seven Stars human warriors must be very formidable, I think certainly stronger than us."


    "Now, I''m also not sure if they''ve discovered the ''Origin Crystal vein''."


    "My suggestion is to retreat first," Mo Li said. "Report back to the base and call in more resources and warriors from our civilization, then decisively secure this place."


    "No," Delgado firmly rejected, shaking his head. "We can''t gamble that the Seven Stars Human Civilization are fools. If we give them time to establish a defensive system... our chances of mounting a counterattack later would be ten times harder, with casualties beyond prediction."


    "You should know, Flying Serpent Valley is closer to their forward base than to ours."


    "So what do we do?" asked Mo Li.


    "We stay here, on covert alert," Delgado solemnly said. "Indeed, the warriors of the Seven Stars Human Civilization are strong, but they should only have a limited advantage in strength over us... Otherwise, they wouldn''t have retreated immediately after killing all the Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    I even suspect that their main forces have suffered heavy losses, or even that a Prime Warrior has died, and the bodies were simply taken away."


    Mo Li and Xue Shu could not help nodding¡ªDelgado''s analysis made sense.


    "Then let''s stay on covert alert."


    "Xue Shu, you and I will team up, and Delgado will operate solo; we will each monitor a section of the mountain range," said Mo Li.


    "Then, order your people to come as quickly as possible."


    "At the same time, I will write the report as soon as possible, notify the base, and request the higher-ups of civilization to increase support," Mo Li said. "Our mission is... once the strong of the Seven Star Human Civilization return, we must hold them off."


    Delgado and Xue Shu both nodded in agreement.


    "Let''s go, let''s head up first."


    ...


    Seven Star Human Civilization, Outpost Base Number Three, inside that huge conference room.


    "Killed three Second Rank Flying Serpents?"


    "One of them a Level 25 Flying Serpent?"


    "Liu Jing severely injured and unconscious?" The woman in purple and Han Chong were both shocked staring at the intelligence transmitted by Li Yuan.


    Far beyond their expectations.


    "An Alien Race of Level 25 emerged within our territory and we had no clue whatsoever before," Han Chong said with a hint of anger in his voice. "What were the inquiry teams doing?"


    The outpost base needed to inquire about the surrounding area of 1000 kilometers all year round.


    "If the Second Rank Alien Race had their minds set on hiding, how could those First Rank Martial Artists uncover them?" The woman in purple shook her head, "This time, if it weren''t for Xu An and Liu Jing venturing deep into Flying Serpent Valley, we might have never driven out this strong Flying Serpent."


    "What do we do now?" Han Chong frowned.


    "Let''s stick to the original plan, the forward units that have already departed should continue moving," the woman in purple whispered. "I''ve already locked onto Xu An''s location, and I will now lead the forward troops with medicine to find Xu An immediately."


    "You''re going?" Han Chong was surprised. "Doesn''t that mean the base will be left with only me as a Prime Warrior?"


    "The key issue is that Liu Jing is already seriously injured, what do we fight with?" Han Chong frowned.


    He was already thinking about giving up on Flying Serpent Valley, abandoning the plan. Find more to read on m_v-l -NovelFire


    "It''s not about what we want to fight for, but what we must," the woman in purple''s eyes flashed a cold light. "Compared to Liu Jing, I''m more worried about Flying Serpent Valley right now."


    "What''s wrong with Flying Serpent Valley?" Han Chong was startled.


    "If it can cultivate the Blood-Nourishing Source Spiritual Fungi in large quantities and even give birth to so many Second Rank Flying Serpents in such a short time... I don''t believe there''s no secret in Flying Serpent Valley," the woman in purple said gravely.


    "If the Tianliang Clan occupies this place, sets up a base, and they are only 900 kilometers away from our outpost base, do you think we can still coexist peacefully?"


    "War is inevitable sooner or later, might as well fight now."


    "At the very least, we can''t let them establish a stable defense system," the woman in purple said.


    "What about me? What do I do?" Han Chong couldn''t help asking.


    "Contact our superiors, request support," the woman in purple said earnestly. "If necessary, ask Outpost Base Number Four to support us."


    "Outpost Base Number Four?" Han Chong was surprised.


    Xia Country, within the Mingxu Star Realm, has both Outpost Base Number Three and Number Four, but due to their vast distance, there is not much communication between the two bases under normal circumstances.


    Before long.


    The woman in purple took a group of martial artists and flew in the direction of Li Yuan''s smart wristband location on a flying vehicle.


    ...


    In just over an hour, Li Yuan carrying Liu Jing had already fled for hundreds of kilometers.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan moved agilely, jumping over a river and rushing through the savage forest at high speed.


    Suddenly.


    "Li Yuan, put me down," a vigorous voice came from behind Li Yuan.


    It was as if he had just woken up.


    "Senior Liu?" Li Yuan felt a surge of joy in his heart, his mind stirred.


    Hissss~ Hissss~ The Origin Power Battle Garment retracted, and Liu Jing, who was originally lying on Li Yuan''s back, immediately fell down, standing firmly on the grassland.


    "Senior, are you alright?" Li Yuan turned around, his eyes lit up, noticing that Liu Jing''s aura had fully recovered.


    Aside from his tattered clothing, the previously severely damaged arms, legs, and so on were all in perfect condition, showing no signs of the past injuries.


    He even seemed better than before the great battle.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    "[Target creature, Life Level at 25.6 Rank]" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Rank 25.6? How had he become so much stronger than before the injury?


    "Not only am I better,"


    "Your Spirit Medicine not only treated me, it even healed some of the chronic injuries I had for years, restoring my strength to its peak," Liu Jing said with a hint of a smile.


    "Restored to the peak?" Li Yuan''s pupils shrank, and he instantly remembered the first time he saw Liu Jing.


    The accompanying military officer had said that Liu Jing had declined in strength due to injuries.


    "That''s great," Li Yuan showed a smile.


    It was worth the price.


    "I''m just sorry to you," Liu Jing sighed. "Such a miraculous elixir is surely an invaluable treasure, probably a ''life-saving trump card'' your teacher prepared for you, and I guess you only have this one piece."


    Although Liu Jing always stationed in the Star Realm, with relatively limited information,


    his insights were not shallow. He could imagine the value of the medicine¡ªten billion? Fifty billion?


    Perhaps even a hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    "Senior, you covered my retreat, and that was why you fought desperately against the Flying Serpent King. Otherwise, you could have escaped with your strength," Li Yuan said solemnly.


    The Origin Purple Longevity Pill was precious, but treasures only have value when used.


    Li Yuan did not regret it.


    "As planned, you were responsible for seizing the treasure, and I was responsible for the aftermath. You admirably completed the task you were responsible for. It''s my lack of foresight that led to this outcome," Liu Jing shook his head. "Since I caused the mistake, I naturally had to make a full effort to rectify it, covering the retreat was the right thing to do."


    "How about this."


    "I can''t make up for such a rare and precious elixir," Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan. "You take all three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "In addition, when we return, I will transfer twenty billion Blue Star Coins to you. After all, I am just an intermediate-level Prime Warrior. Even though I earn more than the average Prime Warrior by stationing in the Star Realm, it is still limited... don''t think it''s too little," Liu Jing said.


    "That won''t do," Li Yuan shook his head. "Then wouldn''t Senior have labored for nothing?"


    "Not for nothing, on the contrary, there have been great gains," Liu Jing''s eyes were bright, his smile conveying his mood. "This battle in Flying Serpent Valley, through life-and-death struggle, my technique broke through, reaching subtlety."


    "For me, that is worth more than a hundred billion Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan said.

 Chapter 236: Chapter 193: Law Creation Again

    The Mingxu Star Realm is a First Level Star Realm, and once one''s life level reaches level 20, they can no longer pass through the Star Realm''s entrance and exit.


    Based on Li Yuan''s third time experiencing Origin Power entering his body,


    "Once I raise my Spiritual Awakening Level to 40% and initiate the fourth instance of Origin Power entering my body, I fear my life level will reach 21 or even higher," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Then, I can only spend my whole life in the Mingxu Star Realm."


    Other First Rank Martial Artists, once they reach 19.9, may be due to their techniques or insufficient spiritual power, find it difficult to break through to level 20.


    But Li Yuan? His spiritual power and techniques were more than sufficient a long time ago, and once his life level reaches the First Order Limit, he would rapidly break through.


    Spend a whole lifetime in the Mingxu Star Realm? That was not what Li Yuan wished for.


    This was also why Li Yuan greatly admired Liu Jing, for one must have great determination and willpower to willingly stay in such a wilderness.


    Moreover,


    Li Yuan subconsciously believed that he had greater achievements to accomplish in the future and could play a more significant role for the Seven Star Alliance.


    "In the future, if the entrance to the Mingxu Star Realm expands and it becomes a Second Level Star Realm, perhaps it could allow Senior Brother Liu Jing and the others to return home," a thought suddenly passed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    The level of a Star Realm is not static; expansion from a First Level Star Realm to a Second Level Star Realm is quite common.


    Just like the Rob Sea Star Realm within the Xia Country territory, which has been in constant warfare.


    Li Yuan knew that the entrance area of the Rob Sea Star Realm was becoming increasingly unstable, showing a tendency to become the second Third Level Star Realm on Blue Star. And this was why Xia Country had been stationing a heavy military presence there year-round.


    "Although I don''t dare to increase it to 40%, in the coming period, I should seek opportunities to kill more members of the Alien Race and strive to raise my Spiritual Awakening Level to around 37%," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Not increasing it to 39% was because he needed to leave some leeway.


    To avoid any unexpected accidents.


    "Moreover,"


    "With a thought, my mind can merge with heaven and earth, drawing in the forces of the world to nourish my body, which will greatly increase the efficiency of my cultivation of the ''All Heavens'' Stars,''. Even without Origin Power entering my body, a single month at the shortest or two at the longest, would be enough to raise my Physical Quality to 19.9," Li Yuan''s eyes shimmered brightly.


    It sounded as though the speed of improvement was similar to before.


    But one must know that the standard difference in Fist Strength from 15.0 to 16.0 is 6,000 kilograms.


    From 19.0 to 19.9, however, the standard difference in Fist Strength is 20,000 kilograms.


    As one advances in their Life Level, the difference increasingly becomes exponential.


    ..."For a genius like Senior Brother Jin, with the best external conditions for cultivation, it still took until his junior year to become a Prime Warrior. This is the reason why," Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, "For others, cultivation is like climbing uphill, the further you go, the slower you get."


    "But for me, it''s like descending downhill, getting faster and faster."


    Hum~ With a single thought,


    Li Yuan''s immensely powerful spiritual power sensed his entire body, placing itself in a vast and boundless space, where within the endless starry sky, there were a few points of light.


    That was¡ªLife Star space.


    "With Spiritual Guidance, I awakened the first Perfect Star Vein," Li Yuan''s spirit spread out, his heart completely calm, sensing the vast and infinite Life Star space, "But to become a Flying Heaven level, at least three Star Meridians must be awakened."


    "With spiritual power at level 30, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening Level can increase to 40%. To raise that limit to 50%, how high must my spiritual power be?"


    "The second Spiritual Guidance is far off, and at least for the short term, it''s not achievable." Li Yuan was clear about this point.


    "I must create my own law."


    Hum~


    Li Yuan''s spiritual power turned into countless thoughts, passing through one spiritual imprint after another, quickly sensing an already perfectly awakened Star Meridian.


    Following that,


    "Let''s continue," Li Yuan''s spiritual thoughts ventured through the vast and dark Life Star space, continuing to search for the stars hidden in darkness... not a search without pattern or method.


    Li Yuan had read over the seven High Rank Cultivation Methods and also referenced a great deal of pioneering methods from his predecessors.


    There are many tricks to finding common Life Stars, and there are subtle connections between many Life Stars.


    "Awakening the first Star Meridian is the hardest,"


    "Many predecessors who created laws in the history of our Seven Stars human civilization fell at the first step," Li Yuan silently reflected, "But once one Star Meridian is awakened, the difficulty drastically decreases."


    The previous Spiritual Guidance indeed greatly helped Li Yuan.


    Hum~ Hum~


    HIs spiritual thoughts enveloped the vast starry sky, ignoring spatial distances, gradually sensing the existence of each dark star.


    "This one is a Life Star."


    "This one should be."


    "This one is a dead star."


    "This one could be," Li Yuan''s spiritual thoughts wildly dispersed.


    With the experience of his predecessors, the guidance of the first Perfect Star Vein, and help that surpassed the past by tens of times, Li Yuan easily noticed the presence of Life Stars within the Life Star space.


    Much easier than normal Law Creators by more than a hundred times.


    As time elapsed, Li Yuan kept imprinting spiritual marks on one Life Star after another.


    This was the consequence of a strong foundation.


    Advanced techniques, strong spiritual power, and perception in the Life Star space hundreds to thousands of times stronger... the probability of successfully creating laws was almost a sure thing.


    Of course,


    Not all Life Stars are ''active'', many seeming nearly indistinguishable from the dead stars on the surface... Li Yuan cautiously chose to give up on those.


    But suddenly,


    "Hmph~" Li Yuan''s spirit violently shook, followed by the sensation of one strand of his spiritual thoughts being destroyed.


    This in turn caused his body to tremble faintly.


    A sensing mistake.


    "That star was actually a Dead Star?" Li Yuan felt helplessly more cautious.


    Occasionally sensing wrong was not a major loss for someone with Li Yuan''s immense spiritual power.


    After a short rest, he could recover.


    But continuous mistakes? That would mean a halt to the process.


    "If there was Spiritual Guidance, my clarity and range of perception would be even stronger by more than a thousand times," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Countless unawakened Life Stars would be within my perception, without a single error."


    The stronger he became, the more Li Yuan felt the immense power and terror of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Such abilities were simply unfathomable.


    ...


    A full hour later.


    "This time, I actually lit up over 7000 life stars directly," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile, "Before, after cultivating many times, I only awakened a little over a thousand life stars." S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Spiritual power reaching the Flying Heaven level indeed represents a fundamental change.


    Now, the vast and boundless space of life stars seemed brighter than not long ago, with more stars radiating light amidst the dark starry sky.


    However, these newly awakened life stars were mostly chaotic and had not yet formed new star meridians.


    "To awaken so many, yet also fail six times."


    "My spirit is slightly damaged, and I can''t continue to awaken life stars for now," Li Yuan had already stopped, "At this rate, given a bit more time, there''s hope to awaken the second star meridian."


    On one star meridian, awakening more than 12,960 life stars can begin to form the outline of a star meridian.


    In some sense, this was Li Yuan''s first step in creating laws by himself.


    Mind Spirit Divine Palace? One can rely on it, but must never become dependent on it.


    "I must, with all my might, make myself stronger, actively become stronger," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Then, at some critical moments, I''ll be able to withstand some of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace''s potential tests, and thereby receive even more benefits."


    If it weren''t for Li Yuan''s willpower having transformed to level 30 before, he absolutely wouldn''t have withstood the abnormal outburst of the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    "The Great Sun Jade Platform."


    "The Mind Spirit Divine Palace still hides many secrets," Li Yuan thought, and his spiritual consciousness left the space of the life stars.


    ...


    Inside the cave.


    Li Yuan opened his eyes and didn''t notice Liu Jing''s trace: "It seems that the earlier spiritual oppression has alarmed Senior Liu... He''s nearby."


    Projecting his divine sense, although it could only sense within a thirty meters radius, he could vaguely perceive up to several hundred meters away.


    There was someone with a life force quite strong and a soul breath quite familiar.


    It was Liu Jing.


    "Under the guidance of divine sense, in front of a Flying Heaven Warrior, an ordinary person trying to disguise themselves as someone else is difficult," Li Yuan silently marveled.


    Reaching the Flying Heaven level, one does not simply look at a person''s outer appearance and physique anymore.


    One will sense the soul''s breath as well.


    Physique and appearance are easy to disguise, change of clothes, a haircut, pretending to be disabled... all can create great changes.


    But how does one disguise a person''s soul''s breath? At least for First Rank and Second Rank lives, it''s quite difficult.


    Furthermore, regarding the exposure of ''Flying Heaven level spiritual power'' in front of Liu Jing, Li Yuan wasn''t too worried deep down.


    It would have been exposed sooner or later, besides, the other party was trustworthy.


    "Senior Liu has not summoned me, which means the support team from the outpost base has not yet arrived," Li Yuan closed his eyes, "There''s no rush."


    "I''ll try practicing the spiritual secret technique ''Soul Shock'' first."


    During his time at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan learned two major spiritual secret techniques, ''Soul Shock'' and ''Spirit Concentration Technique''."


    Both were Second Level spiritual secret techniques; the former was for carrying out spiritual attacks, and the latter was for concentrating the spirit to make it more resilient.


    However, the effects were minimal.


    "Previously my spiritual power was only at level 20 or so, even if I cultivated ''Soul Shock'' to perfection, the effects were not significant and it also took a lot of time, so I didn''t delve too deep into practicing it," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Now with Flying Heaven level spiritual power, I''ll give it another try."


    "Let''s see what level I can cultivate it to in a short period of time."


    "The first step, thoughts like a river, continuous and unending," Li Yuan followed the guidance of the ''Soul Shock'' technique, letting his spiritual thoughts gradually change.


    Very easy.


    Just a few seconds later.


    "Is that it?" Li Yuan was stunned, then chuckled, "Makes sense, the spiritual power of a Prime Warrior is not sufficient in quality, it''s very hard to be nimble like silk, difficult to control."


    "But with Flying Heaven level spiritual power, it can easily be split, like multitasking with one mind on three tasks or even ten tasks... all with ease."


    Practicing Second Level spiritual secret technique with Third Rank spiritual power?


    It''s like an impressive middle school student doing a primary schooler''s math problems, even if temporarily stumped, but with a little learning of the problem-solving methods, they rapidly break through.


    This is the difference in foundation.


    "The second step..." Li Yuan continued to practice.


    ...


    As time passed, about three hours after Li Yuan practiced the ''Soul Shock'' secret technique.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    The next second.


    Whoosh! A figure clad in blue darted into the cave.


    "Senior Liu," Li Yuan greeted with a smile.


    Stay connected through m-v l|e''-NovelFire.net


    "Do you still need to continue cultivating? Another Prime Warrior from the base is about to arrive," Liu Jing asked.


    "It''s not necessary," Li Yuan smiled, "If senior has any plans, you can implement them, I''m ready to join the battle at any time."


    Continue to cultivate?


    In the past two hours, Li Yuan had directly brought the ''Soul Shock'' spiritual secret technique to the Perfection Level.


    He had also practiced the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'' for another hour, completely eliminating any fatigue.


    One could say that Li Yuan''s overall strength had reached a new peak.


    In the short term, there could be no further improvement.


    "That''s good," Liu Jing nodded slightly, and couldn''t help but ask, "Li Yuan, has your spiritual power really reached Flying Heaven level?"


    He was indeed curious.


    "Senior should have felt it before," Li Yuan responded with a smile.


    "Impressive," Liu Jing was still shocked internally, and then said, "But I suggest you return to Xia Country."


    "There''s no need for you to participate in the upcoming war with the Tianliang Clan."

 Chapter 240: Chapter 195 Sweep Them All (Additional 8, Asking for Monthly Tickets)

    "What?"


    "A single spear thrust killed Xue Shu?"


    "Isn''t that Seven Star human martial artist only at level 19?" Both Delgado and Mo Li, who were still engaged in fierce combat hundreds of meters away, were shocked.


    They were both well aware of Xue Shu''s strength, who, in theory, should have been able to hold out for a while against level 20 or 21 opponents.


    Yet, when faced with an opponent of the same level, he was killed in a single encounter?


    No! To be precise, it was an instant kill.


    This meant that the gap in strength between the two was unimaginably wide.


    "Could it be that the level 19 Seven Star human martial artist is one of the top super geniuses in the Seven Star Civilization?"


    "Xue Shu is dead."


    "We''re in trouble." Delgado and Mo Li were extremely agitated, not because they thought Li Yuan could threaten them,


    but because Xue Shu was dead.


    At level 19, capable of subtle invocation of the mind, he wasn''t the core disciple among the three sacred places of the Tianliang Clan, but he was still considered a powerful talent, and it would have been almost effortless for him to become a top-grade Origin Martial Artist in the future.


    But now he was dead.


    And under their protection?


    It could be said that even if the two of them survived and returned, they would still be ''punished'' by the upper echelons of the Tianliang Clan.


    This was also the reason why they had Xue Shu escape at the first opportunity once the battle began.


    ... "Xu An, is he that powerful?" Miao Wei was just as shocked as Delgado and Mo Li.


    She knew about Xue Shu''s general information and guessed that the fleeing blood-robed figure must be the disciple from the Tianliang Clan''s sacred place.


    As a result, he was killed by Li Yuan in one move.


    "How did he do it?" An idea flashed through Miao Wei''s mind as she suddenly remembered what Liu Jing had said on their way to the Flying Serpent Valley, "In certain respects, Xu An is no inferior to you."


    At the time she didn''t quite believe it, but now she was completely convinced.


    "Spiritual Shock, right?" Liu Jing was the most composed of them all; he was just suppressing Delgado, not yet using his true strength.


    He was the least surprised by Li Yuan''s one-hit kill of Xue Shu.


    ...


    "His technique is not bad; although he''s only at level 19.3, the power and speed he unleashed were close to a level 20 martial artist, and he must have reached Subtlety." Li Yuan retracted his spear, glancing at the corpse.


    Following the teachings of his teacher Xu Bo, he directly dismembered it.


    "Too bad his spiritual power is quite ordinary, probably only at level 20 or 21."


    "If you had an Origin Power Battle Suit, maybe you could have taken a few more hits," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    With an Origin Power Battle Suit, vitality was increased tenfold.


    No battle suit?


    If Li Yuan did not use Spiritual Shock, in a normal fight, Xue Shu could at least withstand dozens of moves; after all, their strength and speed were comparable.


    However, when Xue Shu was immediately subdued by the "Soul Shock" secret technique from Li Yuan and without a battle suit to protect his body, life and death were decided in an instant.


    After all, even Liu Jing, whose spiritual power was comparable to a top-grade Origin Martial Artist, would be briefly stunned by Li Yuan''s Spiritual Shock.


    What more to say of Xue Shu?


    It may sound slow, but in reality, Li Yuan didn''t even have time to search the body; the very next second after tearing apart Xue Shu''s corpse.


    Boom!


    ```


    Li Yuan had suddenly turned around and surged back with force towards the four great Prime Warriors who were still engaged in fierce combat.


    According to the plan Li Yuan and Liu Jing had made early on, Liu Jing would only launch a full offensive to try to kill all the enemies when Li Yuan used the Spiritual Secret Technique "Soul Shock" at close range.


    But what happened next was beyond Li Yuan''s expectation.


    As he charged towards the main battlefield, Delgado and Mo Li also suddenly exerted their strength, attempting to shake off Liu Jing and Miao Wei to charge at him with all their might.


    "Trying to kill me?" Li Yuan instantly understood the intentions of the opponents and instead of retreating, he advanced.


    He still charged head-on towards them.


    ..."Stay put!" Liu Jing burst out shouting.


    Seeing Delgado trying to charge at Li Yuan, he was also shocked and his Subtlety of the mind fully erupted, the light of his saber flowing continuously, with both speed and strength surging in an instant.


    He blocked Delgado, who was trying to flee.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" A succession of collisions.


    "Boom~" A terrifying saber light swept across the Vast Sky, landing on Delgado''s body, directly sending him flying backward.


    Delgado crashed heavily onto a huge rock, which exploded into pieces, and shards of stone scattered in all directions.


    Flying out more than ten meters, he then struck and collapsed a large tree before finally coming to a halt.


    Spurt~ A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out from his mouth.


    "Your power? How could it be this strong? Have you reached Subtlety?" Delgado looked up, staring at Liu Jing with immense shock in his heart.


    Just moments ago, he was only slightly at a disadvantage, but now he was being completely overpowered by Liu Jing''s outburst.


    He truly felt the danger.


    "Die." Liu Jing couldn''t be bothered to answer, and the moment he sent Delgado flying with a slash, he exerted his strength once more, pouncing like a fierce tiger with an incredibly fierce Swordsmanship.


    Having erupted, he would not hold back any longer. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just now, Liu Jing also became worried that Delgado might threaten Li Yuan, which is why he burst out directly


    In fact, if Delgado had not been protected by an Origin Power Battle Suit, he probably would have been near death from that single slash.


    This was the function of the Battle Garment, enveloping the entire body and greatly reducing the impact of any attack.


    "Kill!" Delgado gritted his teeth, suddenly gripping the Combat Saber in his hand to rush out, trying his best to resist Liu Jing''s onslaught.


    ...Mo Li''s strength was not inferior to Miao Wei''s, especially when it came to Physical Quality which was even slightly stronger.


    Whoosh! With a flash, Mo Li shook off Miao Wei and charged towards Li Yuan like lightning.


    "Being able to kill Xue Shu in one move, he must be an extremely rare genius in the Seven Star Human Civilization." Mo Li fixed his gaze on Li Yuan, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent: "As long as I kill you, I will be able to atone for my sins."


    "And then I shall escape immediately."


    "I refuse to believe that you, a Level 19 Seven Stars human Martial Artist, can be that strong." Mo Li bit his teeth, knowing well that one who could instantly kill Xue Shu¡ª


    The Seven Stars human genius before him would definitely be tough to handle.


    But no matter how tough, with a 4-level difference in Life Level and several times the disparity in strength, how could he possibly resist?


    "Xu An, be careful." Miao Wei shouted furiously, extremely anxious in her heart; her speed was also extremely fast, but being thrown off just now, she was half a beat behind Mo Li.


    What worried Miao Wei even more was that Li Yuan still showed no sign of dodging as he charged straight forward.


    Suddenly.


    "Be ready." An icy voice exploded in Miao Wei''s mind, causing her to space out for an instant.


    Telepathy!


    Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, incredibly potent, had given birth to a wisp of Divine Sense that could perceive everything in all directions... at close range, it was possible to have a spiritual exchange with a strong opponent.


    ```


    However, now only Li Yuan was telepathically communicating with Miao Wei, who could not respond.


    Like some top-grade origin martial artists, they too could communicate telepathically.


    The advantage of telepathic communication, first is secrecy, and second is that it disregards spatial distance, allowing for timely exchange and reminders.


    After all, when top-grade origin martial artists burst out in extreme combat, their movement speeds are almost the speed of sound, and a very few even surpass the speed of sound... verbal communication just isn''t possible.


    Boom! Boom!


    The speed of both Li Yuan and Mo Li was terrifying, with terrifying force erupting from their legs, stirring up countless fragments of rocks and soil along their path... none of which affected them.


    At a distance of 700 meters, they were about to collide head-on in less than three seconds.


    "Kill!" Mo Li swung his long spear, the spear light flashing as he thrust it fiercely.


    This thrust was filled with rage, unleashing a terrifying force of over 300,000 kilograms.


    A 24th-level Origin Martial Artist has a standard fist strength of 300,000 kilograms.


    "Soul Shock!" Li Yuan''s eyes were intimidating, a powerful spiritual fluctuation erupted directly, rolling and crushing everything in its path.


    Mo Li was fast, but Li Yuan''s spiritual attack was even faster, striking before Mo Li could react.


    Boom! Mo Li felt as though his head was struck by a heavy hammer, his consciousness roaring and exploding, almost losing grip on his combat saber.


    Following closely.


    "Peng~" A powerful force instantly stabbed at his throat, the terrible shock passing through his fighting spirit and sending his body tumbling backwards.


    The drilling pain instantly sobered Mo Li, who tumbled through the air, his eyes filled with horror.


    He had already crossed paths with Li Yuan.


    "What kind of move is this? A spiritual shock?" Mo Li was shocked, "How did he, a first-rank martial artist, achieve this?"


    Whoosh~


    Mo Li landed heavily on the ground, feeling unbearable pain in his throat, a wave of fright washing over him.


    Had it not been for the protection of the Origin Power Battle Suit, his throat would have certainly been pierced by that strike.


    It would have been an instant kill.


    Before Mo Li could think clearly, he felt another terrifying spiritual shock wave crash down on him, his mind becoming muddled once again.


    "Kill!" Miao Wei had finally arrived, attacking like lightning.


    Just now, she watched as Li Yuan and Mo Li crossed paths.


    Immediately after, Mo Li was blown away by Li Yuan''s spear attack.


    Miao Wei was shocked by the terrifying methods Li Yuan had unleashed, but she knew that now was not the time to inquire about it.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Sword light flowed like water, pouring crazily onto Mo Li''s body, her swordsmanship far more potent than Li Yuan''s spear technique.


    "Puff!"


    "Pfft!" "Puff!" In the exchange, at least four sword lights slashed across Mo Li''s throat.


    That was also where Li Yuan had previously aimed his long spear.


    The first sword stroke was still blocked by Mo Li''s Origin Power Battle Suit, but the second stroke nearly cut through it.


    "Whoosh!" Mo Li had just regained consciousness, feeling excruciating pain in his throat, and was just about to retreat swiftly.


    The last two streaks of sword light flashed by like lightning once again.


    "Puff!"


    No matter how tough the Origin Power Battle Suit was, it couldn''t withstand four consecutive attacks on the same spot by a martial artist of the same rank in an extremely short period of time. At that moment, the suit was completely ripped open.


    The final stroke of the sword light directly grazed Mo Li''s neck, and blood gushed like a fountain.


    "This?"


    "Me?" Mo Li''s eyes widened as he instinctively covered his throat, but he couldn''t stop the bleeding and could hardly make a sound.


    Even second-rank fighters with vigorous life forces would die if their hearts shattered or their throats were slit without any other life-saving means.


    "Kill!"


    Having landed a successful blow, Miao Wei''s sword light struck like lightning, repeatedly and relentlessly attacking.


    She offered no chance for Mo Li to survive.


    "Peng~"


    With the final stroke of sword light, Mo Li''s head was sent flying, one of his arms also severed. Discover stories with m,v l-NovelFire.net


    The Tianliang Clan''s second-rank fighter, Mo Li, dead.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    After crossing paths with Mo Li and creating an opportunity for Miao Wei, Li Yuan had already fled far away.


    Seeing that his spear hadn''t truly harmed Mo Li, Li Yuan immediately realized that his own strength was too weak, greatly lacking when it came to frontal combat.


    Reliance purely on spiritual attacks would hardly defeat those ''intermediate origin warriors'' clad in Origin Power Battle Suits.


    In the clashes of Origin Warriors, he served as support.


    In just two seconds, Li Yuan had rushed close to Delgado and Liu Jing, who were fiercely fighting.


    Both powerful fighters were using combat sabers with extreme ferocity.


    At full force, Liu Jing completely overpowered Delgado. Each collision resulted in a terrifying sonic boom, causing massive rocks along their path to shatter and trees to tumble.


    The fight was brutally intense.


    However, as the Tianliang Clan''s strongest dispatched fighter, Delgado also possessed remarkable strength, enduring against the powerful Liu Jing.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom!" A terrifying wave of spiritual pressure hit, causing Delgado''s mind to reel. He had practiced some spiritual concentration secret techniques and instinctively tried to fend off the attack.


    But he had no chance, like a small dam trying to hold back a flooding river.


    "Hmm?" Confusion appeared in Delgado''s eyes, and the speed of his combat saber greatly reduced.


    "Die!" As a fighter specialized in subtlety, Liu Jing was always ready.


    Slash! A dazzling flash of the saber swiftly passed over Delgado''s neck, decapitating him.


    Delgado, dead!


    In the continuous exchanges, Liu Jing had already seriously wounded Delgado several times, and seizing the opportunity, he delivered the fatal blow.


    With this.


    The three strongest members of the Tianliang Clan''s vanguard team were all dead.


    Whoosh!


    Just as Miao Wei rushed over, she witnessed the scene unfolding before her, her eyes filled with shock.


    "They''ve all been killed." Liu Jing grinned, his saber still dripping with blood, "Let''s check their bodies first."


    "Collect anything valuable."

 Chapter 241: Chapter 196: Harvest! The Shocked Tianliang Clan! (Extra 9)

    "Alright."


    "Everyone, check carefully." Li Yuan and Miao Wei both nodded in agreement.


    They immediately split up and sprinted toward the distant bodies of Xue Shu and Mo Li.


    During the fierce battle just now, after they finished off their opponents, they all went to provide support immediately, without any time to search for war spoils.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan ran up to the torn body of a Xue Shu, quickly and meticulously inspecting it.


    He then discovered that aside from weapons, armor, and life detectors, there wasn''t much left.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan suddenly paused, opening the sealed compartment in the corpse''s inner armor.


    A strange, refreshing fragrance wafted out.


    Surprise flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Because in that compartment were several elixirs, which Li Yuan could not identify... But given how secretly they were placed, they were likely extremely precious.


    Beyond that, Li Yuan didn''t find anything else of value.


    Gathering all the items together.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan quickly returned to where Liu Jing was, who had already mostly stripped down the items from Delgado''s body.


    Miao Wei had also returned with the items left by Mo Li.


    The three of them placed the spoils of war in the center, piling up into a heap.


    "I''ll check to see." Liu Jing quickly began inspecting them, and when he checked the several elixirs scavenged by Li Yuan, he revealed a smile, "These should be life-saving elixirs, but the Tianliang Clan''s elixir formulas are slightly different from ours, its effects must be checked before we can know its value."


    "Two Origin Power Battle Suits, both with slight damage, can be used after repairs."


    "These weapons are also quite good, worth quite a bit of money, plus these miscellaneous items... total value." Liu Jing pondered briefly before saying, "Except for the elixirs."


    "If the other items are sold back to the Alliance''s procurement department, they should be worth 1.5 billion Blue Star Coins."


    Li Yuan and Miao Wei nodded slightly, 1.5 billion Blue Star Coins?


    It sounds like a lot, but it''s worth remembering that this was the result of them wiping out three powerful members of the Tianliang Clan.


    Normally, Prime Warriors do not willingly engage in battle with warriors of the same rank, as it''s extremely dangerous.


    High rewards come with high risks.


    Many Prime Warriors may never experience such a brutal battle in their lifetimes... and if one experiences it too often without sufficient strength, they are bound to die in a life-and-death fight sooner or later.


    "Regarding these spoils, once everything is sold, we''ll divide them equally among the three of us, no problem." Liu Jing smiled as he looked at the two.


    "No problem."


    "Good." Li Yuan and Miao Wei both nodded in agreement, and if anyone was at a disadvantage, it was Liu Jing.


    "Alright, let''s leave the stuff here and mark it," Liu Jing said, "then we''ll continue to scout both sides of Flying Serpent Valley."


    "Just now on our way here, we encountered quite a few Tianliang Clan First Rank warriors... but we refrained from acting against those First Rank warriors because we were focused on a surprise attack against the Tianliang Clan Prime Warriors."


    "Now, let''s exterminate them first." Liu Jing shared his thoughts.


    "Alright."


    "Let''s move."


    The three formidable fighters once again set into motion, very tacitly forming two teams¡ªone with Liu Jing alone, the other with Li Yuan and Miao Wei.


    About one kilometer apart, they spread out to sweep and inspect the area.


    ...


    "Pfft!"


    The spear light flashed by, and a frantically fleeing Tianliang Clan warrior fell without any chance to fight back.


    "Spiritual Awakening Level at 30.1%?" Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, "That''s really slow."


    Whoosh! Li Yuan continued forward.


    With his spiritual power extended outward, his perception ability had reached an unfathomable level, and some Tianliang Clan warriors who were trying to hide could not escape their inquiry.


    Even along the way, when Li Yuan occasionally encountered Flying Serpents, he slaughtered them just the same.


    As planned.


    If they were to establish a new base in the vicinity of Flying Serpent Valley, the entire Flying Serpent population would either be completely destroyed or at least all driven away.


    Alien races, with hearts inevitably different from our own.


    When it comes to the struggle for living space.


    For the future of the entire civilization, having experienced the ''Fish Spirit Tide'' in Jiang City, Li Yuan would show no mercy to alien races.


    ...


    An hour later.


    Li Yuan, Liu Jing, and Miao Wei had collectively purged the entire area around Flying Serpent Valley, with over 150 Tianliang Clan warriors killed by them, not counting the Flying Serpents.


    Perhaps a few Tianliang Clan warriors survived, but they most certainly fled in panic.


    The three regrouped at the original battlefield.


    "Xu An, you should take these spoils of war and return to the forward outpost first." Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan.


    "Senior, I should go back?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelFire.net


    "With the vicinity of Flying Serpent Valley largely cleared, and the Tianliang Clan''s advance force completely wiped out, as long as the Tianliang Clan''s high command isn''t foolish, they will suspend actions for now. A large-scale battle won''t erupt again for a considerable time." Liu Jing smiled faintly, "With our Mechanical Legion about to arrive... we already have an absolute advantage."


    "Your continued presence here is unlikely to be of much use to you, it would be better for you to return to the forward outpost first."


    "First, to bring the spoils of war back."


    "Second, to have a good rest." Liu Jing smiled, "Afterward, if we really need support here, how about you come back then?"


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."


    Li Yuan didn''t refuse any further, his spiritual power had just made a breakthrough, and he indeed needed to meditate quietly for a few days.


    "Xu An, be careful on the way back." Miao Wei smiled. After the recent battle, her opinion of Li Yuan had completely changed.


    A few minutes later.


    Li Yuan packed a large amount of spoils of war into his backpack, stuffed to the brim, and quickly disappeared into the forest.


    Not until Li Yuan had completely vanished from sight.


    "Elder Liu," Miao Wei spoke softly, "You''re worried about Xu An getting involved in the upcoming war, aren''t you?"


    "Yes." Liu Jing nodded slightly, "You just checked the device left by the Tianliang Clan''s Prime Warrior, and you must have discovered the secret at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley."


    "A small Origin Crystal vein." Miao Wei said solemnly.


    "As of now, the Tianliang Clan has suffered heavy losses, but they won''t easily give up, enticed by an Origin Crystal vein," Liu Jing said indifferently, "They will definitely reorganize their forces to come back, even summoning more powerhouses from their homeland civilization." Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Soon, a great battle will erupt in Flying Serpent Valley," Liu Jing said.


    Miao Wei nodded slightly.


    They were both aware of the value of an Origin Crystal vein; even a small one had an astonishing total worth.


    Not to mention the loss of just two Prime Warriors; even if twenty or thirty died, the Tianliang Clan would probably not give up the fight.


    "You must have sensed Xu An''s talent and strength," Liu Jing said, "Continuing to stay here during the upcoming battle would be extremely dangerous... sending him back is the best choice."


    Miao Wei listened, accustomed to following Liu Jing''s arrangements.


    "Right."


    "In the report to the base, list Xu An as the first discoverer of the ''Origin Crystal vein'', with you and me as the second discoverers," Liu Jing said.


    "To list him as the first?" Miao Wei was surprised and couldn''t help asking, "Why?"


    "Isn''t saving my life enough reason?" Liu Jing glanced at her, "If you''re unwilling, I don''t mind removing you from the list of discoverers."


    "Understood. My report will list him as the first discoverer." Miao Wei gave in.


    As the discoverer of this small Origin Crystal vein, if a war base was successfully established in the future, a substantial reward would be given at least ten billion Blue Star Coins... she certainly did not wish to be kicked out.


    Essentially, Liu Jing was transferring his own interest to Li Yuan.


    "Elder Liu, why didn''t you tell Xu An the truth just now?" Miao Wei couldn''t help asking.


    "Foolish," Liu Jing shook his head, "With his intelligence, if he knew the truth, he would certainly guess that the Tianliang Clan would not let things go... He would most likely not leave."


    Miao Wei suddenly understood.


    "Alright, quickly finish the report and send it to me," Liu Jing said, "I am going to wait for the subsequent forces to arrive."


    "Yes, Elder Liu."


    ...


    While Li Yuan rushed to Outpost Base Three, and Liu Jing and Miao Wei prepared to establish a preliminary war defense system,


    Thousands of kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley,


    Within a rather dreamy city, the upper echelon of the Tianliang Clan was holding an emergency meeting.


    In the vast conference room, several holograms were projected, displaying the battle scenes between Li Yuan, Liu Jing, and their group against Xue Shu and Mo Li''s group in Flying Serpent Valley.


    The five Second Rank powerhouses of the Tianliang Clan all watched the hologram in dead silence.


    After a long while,


    "You''ve all seen it, Delgado, Mo Li, Xue Shu¡ªall died in battle," said the figure in casual clothes, his voice slightly hoarse, "These videos are the last segment of imagery transmitted by their own devices after the three of them died."


    The technology of the Tianliang Clan was very advanced in some aspects.


    Their personal devices recorded many things; normally, the owner decided whether to upload these images.


    But once the owner died, the device would transmit the last segment of video back to the base.


    Originally, there was no signal around Flying Serpent Valley.


    However, in these last few days, while seeking Flying Serpent Valley, the Tianliang Clan had built temporary signal relay stations en route, allowing the videos to be sent back.


    "Liu Jing of the Seven Stars human civilization has greatly improved in strength since the past, his injuries have fully recovered, and he is suspected to have reached Subtlety." The figure in casual clothes said slowly, "Any one of us, in a one-on-one fight, would probably be no match for him."


    Silence ensued.


    Subtlety?


    The Tianliang Clan might have more Prime Warriors, but they were just Second Rank beginners or intermediates.


    Any one of them facing Liu Jing would be at a disadvantage, or even face death.


    "Liu Jing''s breakthrough is just one aspect."


    "The key lies in this human," the figure in casual clothes said, pointing at the young man highlighted on the hologram, which was Li Yuan.


    "According to the video, with multiple life detectors'' inquiry, he''s just level 19, which should be accurate."


    "Yet his extreme running speed has exceeded 130 meters per second."


    "And how did he manage to kill Xue Shu with one move?" the figure in casual clothes said solemnly, "I suspect he is a ''SSS-grade genius'' that the Seven Stars human civilization has kept hidden."


    "It must be reported upward."


    "Find out who he is."

 Chapter 242: Chapter 197: 1.088 Billion Blue Star Coins! Spear Technique Growth

    "What? An SSS-level genius?"


    "Isn''t that a bit exaggerated?"


    "Such geniuses, within the entire Seven Star human civilization, might not even appear once a year." The meeting room erupted with discussions, with two Prime Warriors not quite convinced.


    In their minds, an SSS-level genius from the Seven Star human civilization, and a ''Saint Heir'' from the Tianliang Clan, held almost equal status.


    "Quiet."


    The figure in casual clothes frowned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know there are many thoughts in your minds."


    "All we need to do is to report upward, the rest is out of our hands." sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Moreover, to be honest, we know very little about this Seven Star human genius--his name, experiences, specific strength and so on, are all unknown...


    We can''t even confirm his appearance accurately, the only thing certain is that he uses a Long Spear, and his Spear Technique is suspected to have reached Unity of Heaven and Man." The figure in casual clothes said, "And with such strength, he definitely won''t stay long in Mingxu Star Realm. Our outpost here is incapable of dealing with him."


    The other Prime Warriors couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    Not to mention anything else.


    Just seeing him easily dodge Mo Li in a duel had already made several Prime Warriors'' scalps tingle.


    "However, from his appearance and the fact that he came to Mingxu Star Realm... we can deduce with high probability that he comes from the ''Xia Country'' of the Seven Star human civilization," the figure in casual clothes said. "So, in the future when he becomes a Prime Warrior, or even reaches the Flying Heaven Realm, the probability that he heads to ''Wanhan Star Realm'' is very high."


    "Making the civilization''s higher-ups prepare early can''t be wrong."


    "Besides, if we can truly find out who he is, we might be able to initiate an ''assassination'' plan ahead of time within the Seven Star human civilization," the figure in casual clothes said.


    "Makes sense."


    "Hayden is right."


    "We can''t kill him, but if he could be killed in the ''Wanhan Star Realm'' in the future, then we, as the ones who first reported it, would also be credited."


    "Sign it, and let''s report it." The Prime Warriors were completely convinced by the figure in casual clothes.


    Wanhan Star Realm.


    It''s the only Third Level Star Realm of Blue Star, and it''s also the main battlefield for intense confrontations between the Seven Stars human civilization and Tianliang Civilization... gathering many strong figures from both civilizations.


    Even dispatching strong figures to infiltrate each other''s civilizations.


    Due to the numerous battles, both civilizations have a profound understanding of each other.


    Mingxu Star Realm? For both civilizations, it''s merely an insignificant place, with little resources and power invested... However, now that a source crystal vein has been discovered, naturally it incites both sides to invest more resources in the contest.


    ...


    Six hours later, Li Yuan, carrying a large amount of battle spoils, returned to the long-missed No. 3 outpost base.


    In the plaza in front of the base.


    "Xu An, my brother, welcome back." A young man in a white robe greeted with a smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for a long time, he approached proactively.


    "Han Chong, senior?" Li Yuan smiled, already guessing who it was and performed a Divine Palace Inquiry.


    "[Target organism, Life Level 22.5]"


    Han Chong, ranking third among the three military officials of the No. 3 outpost base, a junior Prime Warrior, not bad in terms of strength.


    "Stop calling me senior, I''m not that much older than you... just by a decade or so."


    "Haha, this is our first meeting. Liu Jing and Miao Wei have called me several times, they spoke very highly of you." Han Chong was extremely enthusiastic, "Come on, I''ve already set up a feast in the base to celebrate your return."


    Han Chong was somewhat calculating.


    But he was also very careful, gleaning from the little information revealed by Liu Jing and Miao Wei, he had guessed that this young man named ''Xu An'' had an enormous background.


    "Senior Han, let''s deal with formalities first." Li Yuan pointed to his large backpack and the bloodstains on his body.


    "My fault, my fault." Han Chong slapped his own head, laughing, "Alright, brother Xu An, let''s go to the appraisal room first, I''ve already asked the recovery department''s appraisal expert to come... the pricing will definitely be fair."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, how could it not be fair?


    The spoils of war included not just his share, but also that of Liu Jing, and Miao Wei.


    "This way, please." Han Chong said with a smile.


    ...


    In the appraisal room.


    Several appraisers were busy with various instruments, checking each piece of battle spoils Li Yuan had brought.


    "Two Origin Power Battle Suits, both damaged, with a total value of about 82 million Blue Star Coins."


    "This Combat Saber..."


    "This Long Spear, is a special alloy weapon, using a small amount of Third Rank metal that we don''t have on Blue Star..." the eldest appraiser continued to give Li Yuan quotes.


    "The final total price." The elderly appraiser looked up at Li Yuan, "Warrior Xu An, in total 160 million Blue Star Coins, what do you say?"


    "That''s acceptable." Li Yuan nodded his head.


    The price was much higher than Liu Jing''s estimate, and he was very satisfied.


    "What about the four elixirs?" asked Li Yuan.


    "Upon preliminary appraisal, they seem to be a kind of healing elixir from the Tianliang Clan, Second Rank, not very high in value, but they are very special, and our Union has always been researching their formula," the elderly appraiser said gravely, "So, I can offer 80 million Blue Star Coins for the four elixirs."


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    If only considering the value of the elixirs themselves, these four might not be so highly priced...but because of their research value, the significance was completely different. Discover hidden tales at m v l''-NovelFire.net


    "All right, that''s fine." Li Yuan nodded in agreement, 80 million Blue Star Coins was quite a sum.


    "For this separate Second Rank Flying Serpent horn, our appraisal is 30 million Blue Star Coins," the elderly appraiser pointed to the horn set aside on its own.


    "No problem." Li Yuan showed a smile.


    The elixirs, Origin Power Battle Suits, and other spoils of war were shared between himself, Liu Jing, and Miao Wei.


    But the Flying Serpent horn was his alone.

 Chapter 243: Chapter 197: 1.088 Billion Blue Star Coins! Spear Technique Growth_2

    Ultimately, Li Yuan''s spoils of war from the Flying Serpent Valley were all packed and taken away by these appraisers. Soon after, they would be sent back to Blue Star through the entrance and exit of the Star Realm, then reprocessed and sold... At the same time, Li Yuan also received 216 million Blue Star Coins.


    Taxes had to be paid.


    Within the Seven Star Alliance, it is stipulated that all harvests and trades from the Star Realm are subject to a 20% tax... Therefore, for this transaction worth a total of 270 million Blue Star Coins, a tax of 54 million Blue Star Coins had to be paid.


    To this, Li Yuan had no objections.


    The more he learned, the more he understood that the strength of an entire civilization depends on the contributions of each individual... The stronger the individual, the greater their contribution must be in order to make the civilization ever stronger.


    Moreover, as far as Li Yuan knew, powerful martial artists who wanted to learn powerful secret techniques from the Martial Hall or wanted certain privileges from the Alliance... all of these had a "Merit Points" check involved.


    This was an invisible standard.


    Paying taxes was one way to increase Merit Points.


    The more taxes paid, the greater the contribution to the entire civilization, which was essentially like earning merits.


    For a Flying Heaven Warrior, if the amount of taxes paid was ''0''... their Merit Points would generally not amount to much, and naturally, they wouldn''t be given much attention.


    What''s the significance to the entire civilization if a person, regardless of their strength, can''t make any contribution?


    Once the money was deposited in his account.


    Li Yuan immediately called Liu Jing, "Senior Liu Jing, the spoils have been sold, and in the end, we can each share 64 million."


    "No problem," Liu Jing replied with a smile, "transfer the money to Miao Wei. There''s no need to transfer my share to me. I mentioned last time that I wanted to compensate you with one billion Blue Star Coins... There''s still 936 million Blue Star Coins that I will transfer to you soon."


    "Okay, I''m a bit busy over here; I''m hanging up." After saying that, Liu Jing cut off the communication.


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and quickly transferred the other 64 million Blue Star Coins to Miao Wei''s account.


    Before returning to the base, the three of them had already confirmed each other''s bank accounts, and then Li Yuan turned off the light screen of his smart ring.


    Li Yuan made a quick calculation in his mind.


    "All in all,"


    "In this foray into the Flying Serpent Valley, I lost one ''Origin Purple Longevity Pill''," Li Yuan contemplated silently, "but I gained a total of 1.088 billion Blue Star Coins, and two Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "Consuming one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit helped my spiritual power break through to level 30, greatly increasing my strength, which is the biggest gain," he thought.


    "As for the remaining Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, according to the advice of Senior Liu Jing, it would be best to seek out Teacher Li Yang upon returning to school for help selling it, as he has channels that could help fetch a high price," Li Yuan mused inwardly.


    Indeed, Li Yuan had already decided to sell the last Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit upon his return to Blue Star.


    "The effect of consuming the second fruit would be much less beneficial and not worth the loss," Li Yuan thought to himself, "It would be better to exchange it for cash and then buy other suitable Heavenly Materials Treasures."


    "I am about to become a Prime Warrior, and I will need to acquire life-saving items and practice Origin Power Secret Technique and Body Secret Technique, all of which require a great deal of valuable items and a substantial amount of wealth," Li Yuan was very clear on this point.


    Upon becoming a Prime Warrior, many cultivation resources will have to be fought for by oneself.


    This is also why the major Martial Path academies allow Prime Warriors to ''apply for graduation.''


    For after becoming a Prime Warrior, the schools find it difficult to provide cultivation resources on a large scale and without charge.


    One must rely on their own efforts to struggle and venture out.


    "Struggling in the Star Realm and earning wealth by oneself feels exhilarating," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile, "and also more free."


    "After returning to the country, I still need to buy a ''Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit'' for my uncle," Li Yuan always remembered this matter.


    The Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit is a Heavenly Material Treasure that Dean Hai had mentioned.


    The value of the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit is extremely high, capable of restoring my uncle''s body back to its peak condition, with a normal price ranging between 10 to 20 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ...


    Having settled the spoils of war clearly,


    Li Yuan first went to the base''s rest room to have a thoroughly enjoyable shower.


    He then proceeded to attend the ''banquet'' prepared by Han Chong; he still had to give Han Chong this bit of face. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Shortly after the banquet concluded,


    "Your account... has received 936 million Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan read the notification of the transfer from Liu Jing.


    With this, Li Yuan''s wealth skyrocketed, exceeding 1.2 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ...


    After the banquet, Han Chong, as the only remaining Prime Warrior at the outpost base, still had various duties to attend to.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, returned to the residence arranged by Han Chong.


    A huge Martial Arts Room, a rest room, a physical therapy room... Everything was well-provided for.


    Standing inside the Martial Arts Room, Li Yuan felt a bit dazed as if he had returned to Kunlun Martial University again.


    "Comfortable and at ease," Li Yuan revealed a trace of a smile.


    Adventuring in The Wilderness, even while resting, one must always remain vigilant, with the mind constantly on edge. Only by returning to the safety of the outpost base could one relax considerably.


    "Following the orders of Teacher Li and Dean Hai."


    "The journey through the Star Realm will last a month, and there are still more than ten days left," Li Yuan pondered silently, "First, I will meditate at the base for a few days to completely calm my mind."


    "Then, I''ll go out and kill some creatures from the Alien Race to accumulate some Spiritual Awakening Level, and then I should be able to return to Xia Country."


    ...


    Days passed by, one after another.


    Li Yuan stayed at the base to meditate, and although he focused on his cultivation, he could still sense the restless atmosphere of the entire base.


    Even on the third day after he returned to the base,


    he saw a massive number of Mechanical Legions emerge from the most central ''Star Realm Passage'' of the outpost base and continuously march into The Wilderness.


    There were also a large number of transport vehicles.


    At the same time, many factories began to be constructed beside the base... Without a doubt, the Alliance was pouring a vast amount of resources into the Mingxu Star Realm.


    "It looks like there''s going to be some major action. Is Flying Serpent Valley really that valuable?" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Immediately, Li Yuan stopped pondering and returned to his room.


    Inside the Martial Arts Room.


    "Spear Technique," "Meaning of the Stellar,"


    "Second Layer, Star Dust." Li Yuan silently felt it in his heart as his Long Spear danced in his hands, almost as if it had come to life.


    "Pff!" "Boom!" The Long Spear morphed, sweeping grandly, a series of thrusts linking together.


    Each thrust seemed like stars bursting, faintly shimmering with countless twinkling starlights.


    "Flying Heaven Level spiritual power."


    "Allows me to unite with heaven and earth at any time, in any action," Li Yuan recited silently in his heart, "The more I comprehend the universe, the more I can feel the vastness of its natural power."


    "Compared to the cosmos, an individual''s power is truly insignificant. Even at the Flying Heaven Level, when compared to the starry sky measured in light years... it''s like dust."


    "This is the Mystery of Star Dust."


    "Yet life is brilliant, the most miraculous creation that evolves from the universe." A glint shone in Li Yuan''s eyes, "A single star may seem like dust in the cosmos, but what about when billions of stars come together?"


    "Then, the universe itself is a sea of stars."


    ...


    His experiences in the Mingxu Star Realm, the life-and-death struggles within the Flying Serpent Valley, had already given Li Yuan much to reflect upon.


    Now, with the essential Transformation of his spiritual power,


    his foundation had leaped up more than several-fold. In a state of calm spear practice, his heart grew more tranquil, and countless insights emerged like bamboo shoots after rain.


    When the date reached January 26th, nearly ten days after Li Yuan had returned to the outpost base,


    Inside the base''s Martial Arts Room.


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Streaks of Spear Light blossomed as Li Yuan wielded his spear effortlessly, striking with force and precision.


    Although his Physical Quality was clearly not yet Second Rank, the mystery and ferocity of his spear technique would surely make any Prime Warrior watching tremble in awe.


    "Boom!"


    When the final spear thrust exploded, the Spear Light cut across the Vast Sky like a dazzling galaxy, blinding and mesmerizing.


    "Finally, there''s a hint of ''Galactic Convergence''," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile and subconsciously looked toward the Divine Palace panel.

    "There are still a few days left, it''s time to go out and hunt some more creatures from the Alien Race."


    "Then, I can return to my country," Li Yuan''s state of mind was clear: "The virtual battles of the global college Martial Path competition are approaching, and my Spear Technique can still improve."


    "First year, second year, third year, all can participate in the battle?"


    "I want to see how far I can go this time, top twenty? Top ten?"

 Chapter 244: Chapter 198: The Grandeur of Dean Hai

    Before arriving at the Mingxu Star Realm, Li Yuan had exchanged information with Li Yang and knew the general situation of the global college Martial Path competition''s virtual battles.


    Normally, the number of students who could achieve the Fifth Stage Skill ranged from a few as ten to nearly thirty, varying each year with an uncertain headcount.


    That''s why, at the time, Li Yang said that since Li Yuan had just broken through, making it into the top twenty would be considered a success.


    Back then, Li Yuan also agreed with Li Yang''s words.


    Now?


    "Looking around the world, students from freshman to junior year might have a batch with Fifth Stage Skills," Li Yuan''s eyes shimmered with a hint of light, "but transformed to the Flying Heaven Level in spiritual power? There is probably no second one."


    Li Yuan was very clear, going from the Second Rank to the Third Rank was an essential transformation at the Life Level, and to break through with external treasures alone? There was a chance, but it was extremely difficult.


    Normally, even when the Top Grade Origin Martial Artists consumed the ''Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit,'' the chance for their spiritual power to transform to the Flying Heaven Level was very low.


    Li Yuan made it.


    First, this particular Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit took his spiritual power straight from level 28.4 to 29.9.


    Next was the anomaly in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and finally, it was Li Yuan''s strong willpower that endured the anomaly.


    Plus a bit of luck.


    Only then did the transformation and breakthrough occur.


    "Always perfectly in tune with heaven and earth, my spiritual power is now a hundred times stronger than before, which has made my Spear Technique progress very quickly. The only thing I''m lacking is time," Li Yuan thought to himself, "According to the previous schedule I found, the final battle of the virtual fights will be at the end of February."


    "About one more month left."


    "Perhaps, I can advance my Spear Technique into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage," Li Yuan''s eyes gleamed with anticipation.


    Spear Technique at the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, as compared to the Initial Rank, the overall power would be significantly greater.


    "Everything is going as planned."


    "There are four more days before leaving, before going, I might as well accumulate a bit more Spiritual Nature nutrients." Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    The level of Spiritual Awakening was 30.3%, still far from the upper limit of 40%.


    "Where to go?"


    Li Yuan clicked on his smart ring to check the positions within the Mingxu Star Realm, mainly those near Base Three.


    "Right here."


    "Demonic Insect Lair, about 700 kilometers away from the third outpost base," said Li Yuan, confirming the position, "Home to a bloodthirsty clan of demonic insects in great numbers, posing a significant threat to the third outpost base, and there''s even suspicion of a Second Rank demonic insect being hidden there." Discover hidden content at m,v l''e-NovelFire.net


    "In the past, the third outpost base had also made several attempts to eradicate them but the environment of the Demonic Insect Lair is complex, with numerous nests, and without sending a large Mechanical Legion to raid it, extermination is difficult," Li Yuan reviewed the extensive information about the Demonic Insect Lair, "Also, it''s a fair distance from the outpost base."


    "Therefore, they gave up on clearing them out and only left a Number 14 observation post on the periphery." S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan showed a slight smile.


    A complex lair environment? His powerful spiritual power and astonishing Perception Ability made him the least afraid of complex environments.


    A large number? He desired nothing more than a multitude.


    "Before leaving,"


    "I''ll try to resolve as many troubles for the outpost base as possible, killing off as many demonic insects as I can," Li Yuan pondered, "After all, who knows how long it''ll be before I can return once I leave."


    After this return, he would surely rapidly break through to become a Martial Artist, and unless the Mingxu Star Realm''s gateway expanded to the ''Second Level Star Realm,'' he would never be able to return.


    One hour later.


    Fully armed, Li Yuan left the third outpost base and headed to the Demonic Insect Lair alone.


    ...


    As Li Yuan headed to the Demonic Insect Lair for his final trial before leaving the Star Realm,


    In Xia Country, at Kunlun Martial University, it was daytime, with chilling winds and the land covered in snow.


    Within the depths of the Sixth Institute''s villa district, amidst the ice and snow,


    Whoosh!


    Braving the snow, Li Yang transformed into a streak of light, flitting between the villas, spotting Dean Hai fishing by the lake from afar.


    A windbreak, thick overcoat, a little furnace... plus a few attendants providing service.


    "That old Hai really knows how to live it up," Li Yang couldn''t help but grumble to himself.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yang landed softly on the snowy ground and walked towards Dean Hai, respect evident in his voice, "Dean Hai."


    "You''ve arrived?" Dean Hai didn''t even lift his eyes, replying indifferently, "You said you had an important report about Li Yuan? What''s it about? I remember his trial in the Star Realm is almost over, isn''t it?"


    "Yes."


    Li Yang said earnestly, "It''s almost over. According to the plan, he should be returning from the Mingxu Star Realm within five days. You must have heard about the discovery of the ''Origin Crystal Vein'' in the Mingxu Star Realm."


    "Um..." Dean Hai''s eyes flickered with confusion, but he kept a straight face, "I know."


    "Good, then I''ll make it short," Li Yang said, "Li Yuan is the first discoverer of this vein, the main official of Mingxu Star Realm is my schoolmate. He was preoccupied with the big battle against the Tianliang Clan base and didn''t have the chance to report... only today has Li Yuan''s trial score, process, and evaluation been sent back."


    "Oh? What evaluation?" Dean Hai asked.


    "150 points," Li Yang said with gravity.


    "150?" Finally, Dean Hai turned his head, a flash of surprise in his eyes.


    Normally, scoring 80 points in a life-and-death trial was considered good.


    150 points? That meant all the hidden scores were also full marks, indicating a performance beyond exemplary.


    Normally, the evaluating officer would not give such full praise.


    "Just as Li Yuan arrived..." Li Yang immediately started to relay in detail Li Yuan''s entire journey in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    When Dean Hai initially listened, he was quite nonchalant, but when he heard Li Yuan reached level 19,


    He paused, turning with doubt and asking, "Are you sure? Level 19? Wasn''t he just at 16.5? Even with a month gone by, he should be at most level 17."


    "It''s level 19, no mistake," Li Yang nodded firmly, "But that''s not the main point."


    "That''s not the main point?" Dean Hai restrained himself, listening patiently.

 Chapter 245: Chapter 198: The Grandeur of Dean Hai_2

    When Dean Hai heard that Li Yuan and Liu Jing had teamed up to battle the three Second Rank elites from Flying Serpent Valley for the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, a trace of shock had already crept into his heart.


    A freshman, achieving this much?


    He was just supposed to be on a life-or-death adventure, so how did it sound like he had also become a top combat power at the outpost base?


    And then, when Li Yang reported "Li Yuan''s spiritual power has broken through to the Flying Heaven level."


    Dean Hai was completely astonished, "This Liu Jing isn''t writing nonsense, is he? Li Yuan''s spiritual power has reached the Flying Heaven level? He ate a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit and reached the Flying Heaven level?"


    "Dean, at first I thought Liu Jing was drunk," Li Yang also said with a wry smile, "But I asked repeatedly, it''s true... Li Yuan''s Spiritual Shock, even the spiritual power of a top-grade Prime Warrior like Liu Jing couldn''t withstand it, they would be briefly stunned."


    Dean Hai was astounded in his heart, that strong?


    Later, when he heard that Li Yuan and Liu Jing had battled the three great masters from the Tianliang Clan, Dean Hai even felt a bit numb.


    If the spiritual power had reached the Flying Heaven level, this sort of performance wasn''t so surprising anymore.


    "Dean, what should we do?" Li Yang asked at the right moment.


    "There''s no need to do anything," Dean Hai had regained his composure, "It''s just Flying Heaven level spiritual power, what''s so rare about it? Every Flying Heaven Warrior has it."


    Li Yang was stunned for a moment.


    "Alright," Dean Hai shook his head, "After all, you''re the vice dean, is there any need to be so panicked?"


    Li Yang felt even more speechless inside, but still nodded obediently, "Yes."


    "You go to Jiangnan Province and bring Li Yuan back," Dean Hai suddenly said.


    "Me go to pick him up again?" Li Yang was taken aback.


    So he''s become an errand boy?


    "After you get there, first verify whether the report is true, and second, make sure you bring Li Yuan back to school safely," Dean Hai glanced at Li Yang, "If anything happens to Li Yuan, you can stop being the vice dean."


    "Understood," Li Yang said gravely, fully understanding Dean Hai''s intentions now.


    Li Yuan was too important.


    If the report is real? Such talent, in the entire history of Kunlun Martial University, could be considered top-tier.


    "Go on, don''t bother me with my fishing," Dean Hai waved his hand and continued to lie in his chair, his gaze fixed on the lake surface, looking very much the part of a high-level expert.


    "Yes."


    "I''ll go prepare right away, setting off for Jiangnan Province the day after tomorrow." Li Yang nodded respectfully and quickly left.


    Some time passed.


    Several attendants were preparing fruits by the side.


    "Is he far enough away?" Dean Hai asked lightly.


    The attendants were taken aback, but it was one of the experienced attendants who quickly replied, "Dean, Vice Dean Li has long been far away." Stay connected through m-v l|e''-NovelFire.net


    "Damn, how can it be this monstrous, spiritual power already at the Flying Heaven level?" Dean Hai suddenly jumped up, muttering to himself.


    He flung the fishing rod in his hand and his figure swiftly shot into a distant villa room.


    Leaving several attendants looking at each other bewildered.


    They were new.


    In their minds, a Flying Heaven Warrior should be detached from worldly affairs, truly having the demeanor of a high-level expert.


    "You''ll get used to it," the only old attendant said with a smile, cleaving a fruit in half with a decisive chop.


    "These Flying Heaven Warriors."


    "They are people too!"


    ...


    Inside the villa, on the large sofa.


    "So, that''s the situation with Li Yuan."


    Dean Hai spoke into the communicator, "Flying Heaven level spiritual power, eh? And to think he is so young, with a 19th level Physical Quality... Old Fang, you have to take good care of him."


    "I have been dean for decades, this is the best seedling."


    "It could also be called the best seedling for your twenty years as a headmaster," Dean Hai prattled on, "If you don''t cultivate him well, I won''t be pleased."


    "Understood," a faint voice came through the communicator, "Wait for Li Yang to fully verify it, then let me know, and I will reconsider it, I''m busy now."


    Beep¡ªthe communication was cut off.


    "You¡ª" Dean Hai, who was about to continue speaking, paused for several seconds and suddenly burst out, "Damn, acting more aloof than me."


    ...


    Two days later, Li Yang boarded a large flying transport heading towards Jiangnan Province.


    ...


    January 29.


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, the outer sky was like daylight, but within the Demonic Insect Lair, it was dim, even dark.


    Deep within the crevice that stretched for more than ten miles.


    About 800 meters from the surface, nearly no sunlight penetrated, incredibly damp.


    On both sides of the crack, there lay hundreds of demonic insect corpses, each one killed by a blow to the head.


    An utterly brutal scene.


    "You''ve finally come out."


    "I didn''t expect there to really be a Second Rank demon insect here," the figure shrouded in pitch-black battle garments, holding a long spear, said indifferently, "My trip here wasn''t in vain."


    "Tch"


    "Tch~" A hundred meters away, a giant figure resembling an enlarged mantis lay prone, its height over two meters, much taller than an ordinary person.


    Its body length exceeded five meters.


    Most striking were its four blade-like terrifying front claws, which had slaughtered countless creatures.


    "Roar~" The Second Rank demon insect''s eyes were fixed on the figure with the spear, filled with countless fires of rage ready to pour out.


    It truly did not want to come out; for the past two days, it had been secretly directing insects to besiege this outsider.


    But!


    The opponent was too powerful, seemingly able to predict every move, rendering any ambush ineffective, as one First Rank demon insect after another fell.


    The casualties were heavy.


    In just a few days, over a thousand demon insects had died at the hands of the opponent.


    Most importantly, in this impossibly complex lair, the opponent was able to easily find safe and correct passages... and now had approached the final hive.


    It had no choice; the Second Rank demon insect had to come out.


    If it allowed the slaughter to continue, the hive might well be destroyed.


    "Roar~"


    With a low growl, the Second Rank demon insect violently flapped its wings, its hind limbs powering up, its colossal body transforming into a streak of light as it pounced towards Li Yuan.


    Four claws, like four terrifying blades, swept continuously toward him.


    "That''s more like it," Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, as his vigor circulated throughout his body.


    A complete explosion of force.


    "Clang!" "Clang! Clang!" Time and again, with lightning-like collisions, Li Yuan''s long spear flowed majestically, immovable as the stars, easily blocking the Second Rank demon insect''s repeated attacks.


    In terms of strength and speed, Li Yuan was far weaker than his opponent.


    In terms of the number of weapons, he was also at a disadvantage.


    But with his strong skills and movement techniques, Li Yuan managed to block the Second Rank demon insect''s mad attacks, again and again.


    "Exhilarating!"


    "Faster! Steadier! Heavier!" Li Yuan''s eyes seemed aflame with passion, his fighting spirit soaring to the skies.


    This Second Rank demon insect had a physical quality as high as level 22.2.


    Just in terms of the degree of threat, it was even greater than the Second Rank Flying Serpent that Li Yuan had previously killed.


    But compared to half a month ago, Li Yuan''s strength had also grown much stronger.


    Rapidly, the two sides fought for hundreds of rounds, with extreme intensity.


    "Enough."


    "Four sharp claws, like four continuous combat sabers, presented an oppressive sensation. Truly born for battle," Li Yuan''s eyes shone: "If this fight dragged on, I might not necessarily win."


    "Too bad."


    Boom! Li Yuan''s eyes condensed with depth, a vast surge of energy suddenly burst forth.


    Like a river rushing, it violently struck the consciousness of the Second Rank demon insect.


    The secret spiritual technique "Soul Shock" hit it hard, stupefying it.


    "Whoosh!"


    Li Yuan''s spear suddenly erupted, executing the second form of the Stellar Spear Technique¡ªthe Twelve Continuous Strikes of the Galaxy Waterfall.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One spear following another, the tide-like assault suddenly broke through the spaces between the creature''s claws and hammered down onto the Second Rank demon insect''s head... Curved yellow strands of Origin Power circulated, displaying incredible toughness. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    By the time Li Yuan thrust his sixth spear,


    The Second Rank demon insect finally regained consciousness, a hint of terror flashing in its eyes, feeling waves of severe pain sweeping through its body, just as it tried to retreat explosively.


    "Puchi!"


    The long spear, like a meteor, plunged relentlessly in, blood splattering.


    No matter how tough the Origin Power was, it could not match the Origin Power Battle Suit, nor could it withstand six consecutive spear thrusts by Li Yuan at the same point.


    Hush! The spear pierced through and was immediately withdrawn.


    Li Yuan, holding his spear, swiftly backed away, watching the Second Rank demon insect warily to guard against a dying counterattack.


    "[You have killed a Second Rank creature, obtained spiritual nutrients, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has increased to 37.3%]" a Divine Palace reminder flashed past.


    ...


    An hour later.


    Li Yuan, who had ransacked the Demonic Insect Lair''s ''hive'' thoroughly,


    climbed out of the lair''s crack with a large backpack, his face covered in dust.


    "Time to head home," Li Yuan''s eyes were bright as he strode towards the number three outpost base.

 Chapter 246: Chapter 199: Return to Xia Country (Extra 10)

    Outpost Base Three, Sixth Floor, Appraisal Room.


    "Tsk, tsk."


    "Bloodthirsty matriarch''s larval eggs? Truly a treasure, a treasure," the elderly appraiser said excitedly as he gazed at the several basketball-sized insect eggs in front of him.


    The other younger appraisers were also quite surprised; they rarely saw their master this excited.


    "Master, we''ve collected some of these eggs before, haven''t we?" a young appraiser couldn''t help but ask.


    "What do you know?"


    "The ones we''ve collected before were from unranked matriarchs, of very average value, and the larvae they breed aren''t worth much," the elderly appraiser shook his head. "But this egg here is of the first rank, with an extraordinarily astonishing value."


    "If cultivated with care, it could continuously give birth to incredibly powerful demonic insects."


    Li Yuan watched this scene indifferently, yet he was quite astonished in his heart.


    He had indeed penetrated into the enemy''s nest.


    He had killed several matriarchs.


    And in the end, he found this yet-to-be-fully-hatched egg, though Li Yuan hadn''t harbored much hope for it.


    Now it seemed, was this thing exceptionally valuable?


    "Warrior Xu An, we have had dealings before." The elderly appraiser looked at Li Yuan. "This egg is very valuable. I am willing to offer three hundred million Blue Star Coins to purchase it, and that''s a very generous price."


    "Wait a moment," Li Yuan said indifferently, bending his head to check his intelligent wristband and began searching in the database.


    After a while, Li Yuan looked up again and showed a smile, "Alright, three hundred million Blue Star Coins it is."


    "These four claws from a second rank demonic insect and these small trinkets... let''s call it twenty million Blue Star Coins in total," the elderly appraiser continued. "That brings it to a total of three hundred and twenty million Blue Star Coins for you."


    "Good," Li Yuan nodded, already quite satisfied in his heart.


    Initially, his aim was to accumulate some spiritual nourishment and perhaps earn ten to twenty million. He hadn''t expected to strike it big all of a sudden.


    In the end,


    After deducting sixty-four million in taxes, Li Yuan''s bank account received another two hundred and fifty-six million Blue Star Coins.


    Of course, Li Yuan understood that such precious first-rank matriarch eggs were hard to come by, as was that second-rank demonic insect.


    It seemed he earned a lot this time.


    But that was because he had been adventuring within a thousand kilometers around the base. If he had gone beyond a thousand kilometers... it would be very easy to encounter various accidents, such as coming across a level 29 alien?


    Or even a Flying Heaven Level alien?


    Living on the edge, teetering on the brink of life and death, brought high risks accompanied by high rewards.


    ...


    "Xu An sold a first-rank matriarch egg and some materials from a second-rank demonic insect?" As the person in charge of the base, Han Chong soon heard the news and was somewhat shocked. "A nineteenth level first-rank martial artist actually managed to annihilate the Demonic Insect Lair by himself?"


    "How formidable?"


    The intelligence on the Demonic Insect Lair was clear. Before this, both Han Chong and Miao Wei had attempted to eliminate it but failed.


    "Truly monstrous," Han Chong mutely said, as Li Yuan''s image in his heart grew increasingly mysterious.


    ...


    In the break room, Li Yuan had just finished taking a shower, feeling refreshingly pain-free, and was in the middle of a communication.


    "Senior Liu," Li Yuan smiled as he looked at the projected image of Liu Jing in the light screen.


    Considering the background of the projection.


    So many days had passed, and it seemed that the Seven Stars human civilization had already established a small base in Flying Serpent Valley.


    "Ready to leave?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded. "I am planning to leave today, so I thought I should drop you a message before departing. It''s a shame I cannot say goodbye in person."


    Li Yuan had tremendous respect and trust for Liu Jing.


    Today they part, and they might not meet again in this life.


    "Haha, that doesn''t sound like the Li Yuan I know," Liu Jing laughed. "You were so resolute and decisive in your battle with the Flying Serpent and even when fighting the strong members of the Tianliang Clan. How come you''ve become sentimental now?"


    "That was towards alien races," Li Yuan laughed.


    "Don''t worry, I should be the one thanking you," Liu Jing said earnestly. "Without you, we probably still wouldn''t have discovered Flying Serpent Valley. Also, I just heard... you helped eliminate the Demonic Insect Lair too."


    "It was a minor matter," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "With your Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, you could resolve it so effortlessly. If it were any other Prime Warrior, even I would have trouble doing it. Don''t be modest," Liu Jing laughed. "You''ve relieved Outpost Base Three of a major headache."


    "These actions will certainly count towards your achievements. Once you return, I will make a detailed report of your contributions to the Mingxu Star Realm and submit it to the alliance," Liu Jing said solemnly. "It should help to elevate your rank of merit."


    "Thank you, senior," Li Yuan said, quite grateful.


    He already had a First Rank Silver Quality Medal of Merit. If he were to be promoted further, that would lead to a Metal Quality Merit... Moving from Silver Quality to Metal Quality is extremely difficult.


    Most ordinary Prime Warriors, if not adventuring in life and death situations for years or having made significant contributions to the alliance, wouldn''t possess a Metal Quality Medal of Merit.


    Thus, one can imagine the magnitude of Li Yuan''s accomplishments in the Mingxu Star Realm over this month.


    If he were to be upgraded to Metal Quality Merit,


    Even if it is just Third Class, that would come with many privileges.


    "It''s only right to award a medal for service to the entire civilization," Liu Jing said with a smile. "By the way, there''s one more thing, I haven''t told you yet. We just discovered a small spiritual crystal vein at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley... and I''ve listed you as the primary discoverer."


    "A small spiritual crystal vein? The primary discoverer?" Li Yuan, with his extensive knowledge, instantly realized the significance. "Senior, you''re too..."


    "Don''t refuse."


    "It''s what you deserve," Liu Jing said with a firm look in his eyes. "Besides, the report has already gone up and has been approved. You''re too late to decline."


    "Alright then," Li Yuan said, slightly helpless.


    "Yes, but this spiritual crystal vein, the Tianliang Clan probably knows about it too... The war will continue for a while, until we fully occupy it and start mining," Liu Jing said. "At that time, the alliance will conduct a thorough appraisal of the vein''s value before administering rewards."


    "As the primary discoverer, I estimate the reward won''t be small. I conservatively guess it''s around one billion Blue Star Coins, but you''ll need to be patient for a while."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded. He wasn''t in immediate need of money for the time being.


    "That''s all for now, you should start your journey early," Liu Jing said with a smile. "I hope one day in the future, I''ll hear news of your success in reaching Flying Heaven Level or even surpassing it."


    "I''ll take your good words, senior," Li Yuan laughed. "If you ever need my help in the Mingxu Star Realm in the future, please let me know, and I''ll do my best."


    This was a promise from Li Yuan.


    In the future, if Li Yuan were to grow into a high-ranking figure within Xia Country or even the entire human civilization, the value of this promise would be immeasurable.


    "Okay."


    ...


    After hanging up the communication with Liu Jing.


    Neither Li Yuan nor Liu Jing implicitly said ''goodbye.'' Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ''Goodbye'' would mean that Mingxu Star Realm had been upgraded to a ''Second Level Star Realm,'' and that might not necessarily be a good thing for the whole Xia Country or human civilization.


    "Let''s go." Li Yuan stood by the window, taking one last look at the mountains outside and the two suns in the sky.


    He turned and walked out of the room.


    ...


    "Sister." Li Yuan arrived at the underground train station deep within the base and saw the slim figure of ''Shi Xiao'' waiting in the distance.


    "It''s time to return to school," Shi Xiao said with a smile, her eyes sparkling and a faint killing intent surrounding her.


    Her walking brought a faint breeze.


    A month of life-and-death experiences might not have helped her as much as Li Yuan, but it was still considerable tempering.


    This was the normal path for Martial Path elites; passing through repeated combat assessments before level 15, then starting life-and-death adventures after... by the time they became level 20 Prime Warriors, after many trials, they would be capable of standing on their own.


    Clang~


    The train started, and Li Yuan and Shi Xiao embarked on the road home.


    ...


    As Li Yuan set out on his return journey, in a civilization area of space-time completely different from the Seven Star Sea,


    a lush and huge star shone with beauty.


    This was the heart of Tianliang Civilization¡ªTianliang Star.


    The planet was extremely beautiful, with numerous cities and highly advanced technology, inhabited by hundreds of billions.


    Today.


    Inside ''Administrative City No. 9'' on Tianliang Star, within a skyscraper soaring a kilometer high.


    On the 89th floor, in a large conference room, three powerful beings emanating an astonishing presence sat at the head of the room, listening to reports from a group below.


    "Regarding Mingxu Star Realm, we agree to the outpost base''s application to double the existing support," a woman in purple spoke indifferently.


    "Additionally, immediately dispatch 15 Martial Artists on the verge of breaking through level 19... send them into Mingxu Star Realm. We must seize this vein of prime crystal."


    "Do not fear wasting effort."


    "The Ming Mountain in Mingxu Star Realm holds great secrets. However, limited by our power, we can only wait."


    "If one of these Prime Warriors manages to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, they can venture into Ming Mountain to uncover its mysteries. If successful, it will bring great benefits to our Tianliang Civilization," the woman in purple continued.


    "Agreed."


    "Proceed with this plan," the other two powerful beings concurred.


    Sending a group of Prime Warriors was but a minor affair.


    What were a dozen Prime Warriors to an entire civilization?


    "Furthermore,"


    "For the SSS-grade talent requesting an Inquiry into Mingxu Star Realm, pass the information through Wanhan Star Realm to the organization lurking within the Seven Stars human civilization, and have them carry out the investigation," the woman in purple spoke lightly. "Once the identity is confirmed, begin organizing the assassination."


    "Also, pass this message to the ''Cloud Beast Civilization.''"


    "The Cloud Beast Civilization has always been at war with the ''Xia Country'' of the Seven Stars human civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm. If this mysterious talent truly hails from Xia Country... the Cloud Beast Civilization will be interested."


    "Let''s wait."


    "Such Martial Path talents are likely to venture into Rob Sea Star Realm, Wanhan Star Realm, in the future."


    ...


    Li Yuan was unaware of the actions Tianliang Civilization had launched against him.


    Even if he had known, he wouldn''t have cared.


    Assassination? How many geniuses in the history of the Seven Stars human civilization had grown up safely?


    Time passed.


    An hour after departing from Base Three, Li Yuan and Shi Xiao crossed the Star Realm portal and returned to the long-missed Xia Country.


    Stepping out of the war base''s gateway,


    the winter sun''s warmth fell on them, comforting Li Yuan.


    "Upon leaving, there was a light drizzle," Li Yuan commented with a smile. "But now that we''ve returned, it''s a clear and sunny day."


    "Yes," Shi Xiao replied, a smile on her face. "The feeling of coming home is wonderful."


    Li Yuan felt an earnest sense of comfort and relaxation as he stepped onto the soil of Xia Country once more¡ªIllusion or not, it was something he could never have in Mingxu Star Realm.


    ''Li Jing and the others,'' Li Yuan thought respectfully, admiring those Prime Warriors who were willing to sacrifice.


    Suddenly,


    "Li Yuan, Shi Xiao," a deep voice suddenly rose from nearby. Stay connected with m-v l|e''-NovelFire.net


    Both turned, surprise flashing in their eyes.


    "Teacher?"


    "Teacher Li Yang," both Li Yuan and Shi Xiao couldn''t help but smile as the one approaching was their shared instructor, ''Li Yang.''


    "Surprised to see me?" Li Yang said with a smile. "Shi Xiao, wait here for a moment; I need to speak privately with Li Yuan."


    "Yes," Shi Xiao nodded, guessing that Li Yang had come for Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan, come with me." Li Yang headed towards a nearby conference room.


    Li Yuan nodded, about to follow when he suddenly paused.


    Because,


    as his gaze swept over a figure descending from a flying vehicle not far away, he instinctively used his Divine Palace Inquiry.


    "[Target individual, Life Level 19.4, elimination yields Spiritual Nature nourishment]"

 Chapter 247: Chapter 200 Martial God Inheritance

    "Killing can provide spiritual nourishment?" Li Yuan was first stunned, suspecting he had read it wrong.


    Without hesitation, Li Yuan once again performed the Divine Palace Inquiry, and the display was still correct.


    Alien Race! These two words flashed through Li Yuan''s mind instantly.


    Li Yuan had thought about this issue, that only by killing members of the Alien Race could one obtain spiritual nourishment.


    Then, could he use Divine Palace Inquiry to identify members of the Alien Race lurking inside civilization?


    Li Yuan had only heard of spies from the Alien Race.


    Since his spiritual power broke through level 20, the burden of performing Divine Palace Inquiry had lessened a lot, and he had formed the habit of using it on any significant individuals he met.


    It was a pity that he had never encountered an Alien Race spy all this while.


    Once his spiritual power broke through level 30, performing Divine Palace Inquiry hundreds of times a day was not much of an issue, so he became even more accustomed to it.


    Unexpectedly,


    right after he returned from the Mingxu Star Realm and hadn''t completely left the war base, he encountered one!


    But looking at the man who jumped down from the flying vehicle, his attire, appearance, etc., there was no difference between him and the group of people around.


    "Is he really an Alien Race spy?" A hint of doubt crossed Li Yuan''s mind, as he could not tell from the appearance alone.


    The most crucial point was that Divine Palace Inquiry had always followed the rule that "killing the Alien Race could obtain spiritual nourishment"... but it was not a hundred percent confirmation.


    "What''s wrong?" Li Yang, who was walking ahead, noticed Li Yuan''s abnormality.


    "Junior Brother, whom are you looking at?" Shi Xiao also sensed something.


    "No." Li Yuan shook his head indifferently and looked into the distance, "I just feel that the man in the leather jacket has a strange spiritual aura... it makes me feel uncomfortable."


    "Strange?" Shi Xiao was puzzled.


    "Uncomfortable?" Li Yang was shocked. He knew that Li Yuan''s spiritual power was most likely at the Flying Heaven Level, and his perception ability was terrifying.


    The things that Flying Heaven Level spiritual power could perceive were not to be understood by common sense. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "How uncomfortable?" Li Yang asked.


    "Teacher, you should know that I have fought with many strong members of the Tianliang Clan in the Star Realm." Li Yuan spoke readily, "This person... just gives me a feeling of being somewhat similar."


    "Tianliang Clan?" A hint of murderous intent flitted across Li Yang''s eyes, as he had a deep understanding of this Alien Civilization.


    "Teacher, it''s just a feeling of discomfort, I can''t confirm anything," Li Yuan shook his head, "You should know, my perception is very acute."


    This was the excuse Li Yuan had thought out.


    First, he couldn''t expose the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and second, Divine Palace Inquiry alone couldn''t confirm the person''s identity as a spy, let alone serve as evidence.


    What reason then? Intuition!


    As a Martial Path genius with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, Li Yuan''s intuition was evidence in itself.


    "Okay, I understand," Li Yang nodded gravely, "I will have him closely watched right away, wait for me."


    Saying this, Li Yang had already beckoned over and promptly summoned several Martial Artist officers.


    Li Yang quickly explained the reason.


    Naturally, Li Yang used other reasons, as he didn''t want to involve Li Yuan.


    "Understood, President Li."


    This Martial Artist officer wearing the rank of ''Major'' said solemnly, "I have just reviewed the data; that person is a warriro from the Starry Sky Martial Hall, who had recently applied to enter the Mingxu Star Realm... We will closely monitor him."


    The reason given by Li Yang was far-fetched, considering Li Yang didn''t even recognize the person.


    But as a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist and a Vice President of Kunlun Martial University.


    When Li Yang suspected a First Rank Martial Artist was a spy of the Alien Race.


    That was the greatest reason and evidence.


    "What about the others? Have a look." Li Yuan was nonchalant, not interrupting the conversation, but continuously performing Divine Palace Inquiry, checking the other people he saw.


    Everyone appeared normal to his eye, only that man in the leather jacket showed an anomaly.


    Soon, the group of Martial Artist officers scattered as if nothing had happened.


    "Li Yuan, let''s go," Li Yang whispered, "The military will start close surveillance on him from today, examining his many connections, past experiences, previous network communications, etc... If he is indeed an Alien Race spy, he will sooner or later show some telltale signs, and we may even be able to root out a whole bunch of people by following the trail."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Encountering such an Alien Race spy, it was not best to apprehend them immediately.


    Instead, it was better to clarify the entire spy network behind him and then aim to catch them all at once.


    As for proactively checking more people?


    "Not to mention that I can''t expose the Mind Spirit Divine Palace."


    "Even if I did and the alliance''s high ranks believed that checking hundreds a day wouldn''t affect me, but what about thousands? Tens of thousands?" Li Yuan secretly sighed, "If I were to inspect day and night, I could perhaps check up to a few million people in a year."


    How many people are in the whole Seven Star Alliance? Almost two hundred billion!!


    Li Yuan couldn''t complete the check in ten lifetimes.


    Furthermore, as far as Li Yuan knew, the vast majority of spies were ''traitors'' who sold out their civilization for their own benefit¡ªtraitors that Divine Palace Inquiry could not detect.


    The actual members of the Alien Race who had infiltrated and were living within human civilization were still very few.


    "Better to focus on cultivation."


    "If I truly want to perform comprehensive screening, wait until my spiritual power surpasses the Flying Heaven Level, when the efficiency would be at least a hundred times higher," Li Yuan thought to himself. "From now on, whoever I meet, I''ll just take a casual look."


    The small number of Alien Race spies infiltrating the realm couldn''t affect the entire civilization.


    But if a being surpassing the Flying Heaven Level were to emerge, it would be of greater importance to the entire Seven Star human civilization.

    "To help the entire civilization, I must first protect myself," Li Yuan mused, "With my reputation growing bigger, who knows, I might even provoke assassination attempts by the Alien Race."


    "From now on, I will perform Divine Palace Inquiry on every person who gets close to me, to prevent any unforeseen incidents," Li Yuan was very cautious.

 Chapter 248: Chapter 200 Martial God Inheritance_2

    In life-and-death trials, engaging in dangerous activities is unavoidable.


    But in everyday life, it''s essential to evade any avoidable danger.


    ...Following Li Yang into the conference room, the door slowly closed behind them.


    "Li Yuan," Li Yang''s voice suddenly resonated in Li Yuan''s mind, as though whispering in his ear.


    "Telepathic Communication?" A glint flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes as he telepathically responded, "Teacher."


    With Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, Telepathic Communication is an instinct, no learning required.


    However, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists must learn corresponding Spiritual Secret Techniques to barely manage it.


    "It seems Liu Jing''s report wasn''t wrong; your spiritual power has indeed become extremely strong," Li Yang conveyed with a hint of emotion, "This is a military base, not a school. Be cautious, and let''s communicate via telepathy."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded in response.


    Quickly, Li Yang briefed Li Yuan on the gist of Liu Jing''s report.


    "150 points?" Li Yuan was surprised to hear this total score.


    He understood the significance of this score.


    It could be said, this rating was Liu Jing staking his own ''reputation.''


    "You have Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, and I need to confirm it; merely one telepathic message isn''t enough," Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said, "Liu Jing mentioned, your Spiritual Attacks are very strong... Try to use one on me."


    "Be careful, Teacher," Li Yuan said without holding back, his eyes narrowing and becoming exceptionally cold.


    Boom! A powerful Spiritual Shock surged toward Li Yang like a torrent.


    But immediately afterward, the confident Li Yuan felt as though he had encountered a solid dam; despite the frenzied battering, he couldn''t completely shake it.


    "Teacher, can you withstand it?" Li Yuan''s voice carried a trace of surprise.


    "Impressive, it is indeed Flying Heaven Level spiritual power," Li Yang was inwardly shocked but smiled, "Are you surprised that I didn''t lose my senses completely?"


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod.


    "In terms of quality and quantity, spiritual power of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists indeed pales in comparison to Flying Heaven Level," Li Yang spoke with a smile, "But if we''re willing to spend a great deal of time cultivating some Spiritual Secret Techniques, condensing our Spiritual Will, and merging with the heavens and earth over a long period...


    then, when we''re hit by a Spiritual Shock, even if our strength is affected, maintaining lucidity is not difficult."


    "Unless your Spiritual Shock is stronger."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    Spiritual Shock, after all, invades the opponent''s inner world, their home field.


    Although Liu Jing''s spiritual power had reached the level of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, his skills, willpower, and Spiritual Secret Techniques were somewhat lacking in comparison to other Top Grade Origin Martial Artists.


    Li Yuan wasn''t too concerned in his heart.


    Facing a formidable expert like Teacher Li Yang, even if the Spiritual Shock were successful, it would at best distract the opponent momentarily.


    In a fight to the death, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists could still easily kill him.


    A Spiritual Attack, after all, is supplementary.


    "At eighteen and a half, with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, 19th Rank Physical Quality, and Fifth Stage Skill, your growth rate truly exceeds my imagination," Li Yang said as he gazed at Li Yuan, his delighted eyes also carrying a hint of complexity.


    Half a year ago, when Li Yang first saw Li Yuan in Jiang City, he was just a high school senior with decent talent.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Li Yuan had surpassed him in spiritual power and was gradually closing in on him in terms of skill... Physical quality? Rapid progress, becoming a Prime Warrior is imminent, soon to catch up.


    As for Law Creation?


    In Li Yang''s view, for someone like Li Yuan, creating Laws was a trivial matter.


    "The stronger I become, doesn''t that prove the excellence of your teaching, Teacher?" Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Haha, indeed," Li Yang laughed.


    He had taught many students over the years.


    But in terms of overall performance, the most prodigious, indeed, had to be Li Yuan, with just over half a year of schooling.


    "My mission this time in coming to get you is twofold: first, by Dean Hai''s command, to examine whether your spiritual power is at the Flying Heaven Level," Li Yang began, "The second is to protect you. Given the potential you''ve now shown, which is faintly above that of Yu Jinghe...


    if the Alien Race learns of this, they will certainly organize an assassination, and your strength is still too weak."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded. Discover stories at m,v l''-NovelFire.net


    The arrangements of the Alliance''s upper echelons are quite thorough.


    "Thirdly, it''s about the ''Virtual Battle'' in the upcoming worldwide Martial Arts University competition," Li Yang said with a smile, "Previously, I had the highest expectation that you might make it into the top twenty. Now, it seems that might not be the limit. Flying Heaven Level spiritual power will cause the advancement of your Spear Technique and movement technique to skyrocket...


    I can no longer guess how far you''ll go."


    "It''s a pity that Virtual Battles don''t allow the use of spiritual power; otherwise, one Spiritual Shock from you would assure first place," Li Yang said with a hint of regret.


    Li Yuan was listening.


    "But do your best to push," Li Yang said solemnly, "and strive to break into the top five or even the top three, to compete for the best Feixing slots."


    "Historically, the top three in the virtual battle will be given Feixing slots, and then some more outstanding students will be selected from the top hundred."


    "Feixing slots?" A flicker of confusion passed through Li Yuan''s eyes.


    What is this?


    I''ve never heard of that!


    "It seems you''ve never heard of it," Li Yang said with a smile, "Feixing slot is our colloquial term, its full name is ''Seven Stars Martial God Inheritance Slot'', led by the Seven Stars Alliance. Legend has it that it''s an inheritance created collectively by Dongfang Ji, Lant, and other beings transcending the Flying Heaven level..."


    "It is the most powerful martial path inheritance within our Seven Stars human civilization."


    "Because the location is on the distant Feixing, we colloquially call it the Feixing slot."


    Li Yuan held his breath, for just the name alone conveyed the incredible strength of this martial path inheritance.


    It is definitely the civilization''s most top-grade inheritance.


    "Each year, only the most elite batch of geniuses from the Seven Great Planets are qualified to receive Feixing slots," Li Yang said with a smile, "Our Blue Star produces about ten of them every year."


    "Aside from the Global University Martial Arts Competition where people are selected, there is also the selection from the Human Martial Arts Elite Battle... For 25 to 30-year-old graduates, occasionally one or two geniuses with long preparedness and sudden success will emerge, and adding them all up, there are about over a dozen."


    "In any case, as long as you are under 30 and yet to reach the Flying Heaven level, there is hope to be selected," Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan was listening. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Perhaps, to the high echelons of the Alliance, anyone under 30 is still considered youthful, with room for cultivation.


    "All in all, less than a hundred slots are available for the entire civilization each year."


    "Ten? A hundred?" Li Yuan pondered internally, indeed quite few.


    Coming down to it, Xia Country probably only has one or two slots every year.


    "Of course, you will definitely get one, so there''s no need to worry about that," Li Yang said with a smile.


    "Definitely?" Li Yuan was startled.


    Isn''t there a selection process?


    "Originally, Dean Hai planned to recommend you in your sophomore year," Li Yang said with a smile, "but now that your spiritual power has reached the Flying Heaven level... you''re certainly in."


    "Looking at the entire civilization, a First Rank spiritual power that''s reached the Flying Heaven level; I don''t know if there''s been a second case in history," Li Yang shrugged, "At least, I haven''t heard of it."


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    "But you should understand, there are still subtle differences among Feixing slots."


    "The better you perform, the more benefits you''ll receive once you arrive on Feixing," Li Yang stated seriously, "The Global University Martial Arts Competition virtual battle is your stage; you must seize the opportunity."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded emphatically.


    Only about ten slots each year globally? And that''s after screening all the geniuses under the age of 30?


    You should know that just the three top-tier martial schools on Blue Star together enroll 1000 students each year.


    From the ages of 18 to 30, over more than a decade, that''s tens of thousands of students¡ªeach one a genius.


    And then there are the many regular Martial Arts Universities.


    "Getting into one of the top three martial schools is only considered a martial path genius in the conventional sense," Li Yang lamented, "But if one gets a Feixing slot and goes to Feixing... that''s a super genius among geniuses."


    "Anyone who qualifies to go there, in the end, more than sixty percent become Flying Heaven Warriors," Li Yang said solemnly.


    "And the other thirty percent?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "Most of them die during various life-and-death trials."


    ...


    Li Yang then shared quite a bit more about the "Feixing slot."


    "I''ve never been there myself, and a lot of it is hearsay, just listen and take it as reference," Li Yang said with a laugh, "Anyway, work hard."


    "Maybe then, you might even meet Senior Dongfang Ji."


    Li Yuan''s eyes brightened.


    Dongfang Ji? That was his idol since childhood.


    "Right," Li Yang suddenly changed the subject, "Li Yuan, you still have one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit in your possession, don''t you?"


    "Would you be willing to sell it to me, your teacher?"

 Chapter 249: Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Principal Fang and Star Lord Bai Shan

    "Teacher needs the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Li Yang knew that he had the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit. Li Yuan was not surprised, as the report transmitted by Liu Jing would definitely have detailed explanations.


    It''s just that, in Li Yuan''s imagination,


    treasures like the ''Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit'' should not be unique and irreplaceable in their effects, there were several Third Rank treasures with similar effects.


    In other words,


    any treasure that could be measured in money, no matter how expensive, was not that rare in value and scarcity.


    The real rare and precious treasures, let alone billions of Blue Star Coins, even trillions of Blue Star Coins couldn''t buy them.


    "I do," Li Yang said with a smile, "I know what you''re thinking, kid. You''re right, there are many Third Rank treasures with effects similar to those of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, such as the Sweet Spirit Core Crystal, the Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass... I''ve used many of these Third Rank treasures, with some having been used up more than once."


    "But these Heavenly Materials Treasures all share one thing in common: the first time you use them, the effect is astonishing, the second time the effect diminishes sharply... The effect of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is not unique, but it''s relatively rare, and I hadn''t managed to purchase it before," Li Yang said with a smile.


    Li Yuan looked at Li Yang in astonishment.


    Such a big spender!


    These Heavenly Materials Treasures are usually extremely valuable... Just how much wealth had Teacher Li Yang spent on them?


    "Teacher, what about your spiritual power?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "It''s at the limit of level 29," Li Yang said with some helplessness as he saw through Li Yuan''s thoughts, "Every time I take a Heavenly Material Treasure, my spiritual power slightly increases, but my Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, feels within reach yet I can never quite break through the bottleneck."


    "It''s not like you, who have such an incredible natural talent for spiritual power," Li Yang said, a trace of envy visible in his eyes.


    Li Yuan silently sighed. Without becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, it was indeed difficult to make a breakthrough to Flying Heaven Level spiritual power.


    "If there were a Soul Essence Nine Revolutions Fruit, a level 29 Origin Warrior who used it would definitely achieve Flying Heaven Level spirit," Li Yang said shaking his head slightly, "It''s a pity, such treasures are greatly beneficial even for those at Flying Heaven Level, and would never be put up for auction or made common knowledge."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Just like Wan Qinghe, who had no idea about the channels for these Third Rank treasures.


    Similarly, Li Yang also had no channels to obtain some of the rare and precious treasures.


    Ordinary Origin Warriors, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, Flying Heaven Warriors... they all had their invisible barriers.


    The Soul Essence Nine Revolutions Fruit, being a Fourth Rank treasure, might not be as rare as the public data suggests.


    It''s just that the rank of the Origin Warrior was not high enough, so many could not access them.


    "This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is not very useful to me, and it''s hard to preserve for a long period. It might as well be exchanged for some money," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I originally wanted to ask teacher to help me sell it, but since you need it, I will give it to you."


    As he said it,


    Whoosh! Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a blue-purple fruit with a silvery sheen on its surface appeared in his hand, looking quite beautiful.


    Li Yang, although he didn''t hold the same place in Li Yuan''s heart as Xu Bo, sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    had wholeheartedly taught him, and Li Yuan was indeed grateful.


    "Give it to me?" Li Yang was stunned for a moment but felt quite happy inside.


    With Li Yuan''s current talent and strength, there really was no need to please him so much anymore.


    The willingness to give must be from the heart.


    But who was Li Yang? A Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, and also a deputy dean of Kunlun Martial University, in terms of strength, he was among the very forefront of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists... how could he accept such a precious treasure from his student for nothing?


    "I appreciate your sentiment, but you obtained this treasure at the risk of your life. How could I take it for free?" Li Yang said with a smile, "It''s also because I know you''ve used one before and, with your spiritual power having transformed to Flying Heaven Level, that I know it''s no use to you, so I asked you for it."


    "If you had only one, I wouldn''t have even asked you," Li Yang continued with a smile, "How about this, tell me any Heavenly Material Treasure you want, and I''ll get it for you."


    "Also, rest assured, while in terms of wealth I might not match up to a Flying Heaven Warrior, there aren''t many among the Origin Warriors who surpass me," Li Yang said with a smile, "In terms of my network, I''m barely among the top tier."


    Li Yuan was speechless; he believed Li Yang on that point.


    "Since teacher put it that way, then I won''t be polite," Li Yuan said, "I want a ''Dragon Heart Spirit Fruit'' that can restore my uncle''s health, along with a treasure or treatment plan for my aunt to maintain her health."


    "Furthermore, I''d like to spend some money to properly cultivate my younger brother and sister," Li Yuan said.


    This had been his plan all along.


    Until his trip to the Mingxu Star Realm, his fortune wasn''t small, but just for his own cultivation, it might not have been enough... Now, for the time being, it was sufficient.


    "All for your family?" Li Yang''s look towards Li Yuan became even more approving.


    Continue reading at m|v-l''e -NovelFire.net


    He didn''t see it as wasteful at all.


    A person who has affection for their family, naturally, will also have affection for their entire nation or even civilization... It''s the bonds of emotion that sustain a civilization.


    If a person doesn''t even care about their own family, it''s quite terrifying.


    "Let me think,"


    "Dragon Heart Spirit Fruit, I''ll ask some friends first, I should be able to buy it," Li Yang said, "As for your aunt, it''s best to use some ''Exquisite Spiritual Liquid'' made from Third Rank treasures... It''s not too expensive, the whole treatment would probably cost about two billion, enough to transform your aunt''s Physical Quality to level 8 or 9, living to 120 years old is not a problem."


    Li Yuan''s eyes brightened, it sounded promising.


    "As for your younger brother and sister," Li Yang said with a smile, "If their Physical Quality is high enough to exceed level 12, it''s best to use Third Rank treasures like the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal."


    "If the Physical Quality is not enough, then start with High Origin Spirit Spring, Second Rank Spirit Nourishing Potions... Actually, it''s pretty much the same as what you went through initially," Li Yang said.


    "Understood, thank you, teacher," Li Yuan nodded.

 Chapter 250: Chapter 201 Principal Fang and Star Lord Bai Shan _2

    The difference was that I had enough talent initially, so the Martial Hall and the country cultivated me for free.


    Whereas my brother and sister showed insufficient talent and had to spend their own money.


    "For my brother and sister''s situation, I''ll handle it through the Martial Hall," Li Yuan said with a smile. "But for my uncle and aunt''s matter, I''m relying on the teacher."


    "No problem, I''ll send two teams to Jiang City to get your uncle and aunt a thorough check-up first," Li Yang said with a smile.


    Such a task was very simple for him.


    "Teacher, you should use this Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit as soon as possible," Li Yuan said as he handed over the fruit, smiling. "Why not consume it here?"


    "The longer we delay, the less effective it will be."


    "This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit has already been picked for more than ten days," Li Yuan said.


    ...


    Eventually, under Li Yuan''s earnest persuasion,


    Li Yang accepted Li Yuan''s suggestion¡ªto consume it on the spot.


    For treasures like this, once you decide to use them, it''s best to ''get it down for peace of mind.''


    Hu!


    Li Yang went to a nearby rest room in the base, while Li Yuan sat in the meeting room with closed eyes, resting and recuperating.


    "Li Yuan." Shi Xiao approached the door.


    "What''s up?" Li Yuan opened his eyes and smiled.


    "Teacher Li said he''s going into closed cultivation and asked us to wait for four or five hours," Shi Xiao said with a smile. "Why don''t we go out and stroll around the city? It''s not far from Golden Dragon City, and it will take only twenty minutes by flying vehicle."


    "It''s been a long time since I strolled around the city."


    "I''ll pass, sister. Why don''t you go and wander around by yourself?" Li Yuan said with a smile. "Later, when we take the flying vehicle, I won''t be able to cultivate."


    "I''m also getting ready to cultivate," he added.


    Soon after.


    Li Yuan, carrying his weapon case and backpack, went to a rest room, leaving behind a bewildered Shi Xiao.


    "What, is everyone a cultivation maniac?" Shi Xiao muttered, then sighed in secret, "Perhaps, this is the reason for Li Yuan''s rapid advancement in strength."


    Shi Xiao did not go out to the city.


    Strolling around alone? She wasn''t into that.


    ...


    Inside this rest room,


    "First, practice the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,''" Li Yuan said as he sat cross-legged and gently closed his eyes.


    Practicing the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" and "All Heavens'' Stars" was an essential daily lesson for Li Yuan.


    After his exchange with Li Yang just now, Li Yuan became more aware of the terrifying aspects of the Visualization Method.


    The growth of spiritual power is extremely difficult.


    "Without the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, my spiritual power would never have improved this fast, let alone shattered the shackles from Second Rank to Third Rank so soon," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Hum~


    With a thought, his consciousness descended into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and immediately, he felt the presence of the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    ...It was a vast, boundless expanse of stars and space, with a great sun illuminating the endless night sky.


    Hu! As if appearing out of thin air, Li Yuan''s consciousness felt the presence of the sun.


    "It expanded again?" Li Yuan frowned, feeling the great sun in front of him, much more terrifying than before the abnormality.


    The last time there was an abnormality, his spiritual power broke through to the Flying Heaven Level, and only then could Li Yuan suppress the rebellious Great Sun''s pride.


    But soon after, Li Yuan realized he hadn''t solved the fundamental problem.


    As long as his consciousness left the Great Sun Jade Platform, with the passage of time, the sun within the platform would gradually expand and rebel.


    He had to suppress it every once in a while.


    If he ignored it, before long, the light from the great sun would burst out of the Jade Platform and affect the entire spiritual world.


    "Suppress."


    "It''s also cultivation," Li Yuan thought, as he rotated the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" in his mind, and immediately his consciousness dispersed, sensing the vast and boundless Great Sun starry sky... Hot! Painful!


    Endless pain swept over Li Yuan''s consciousness at once.


    "Hold on."


    "To undergo three thousand calamities is to temper, to sharpen my spirit and will," Li Yuan gritted his teeth enduring, striving to calm his heart. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Continue your story on m,v|l-NovelFire.net


    This level of pain was no less than when the spirit dried up in agony. In some respects, it was even more intense.


    Because the spirit-drying agony only lasted a moment, whereas suppressing the Great Sun stars was Li Yuan''s daily necessary lesson, lasting at least an hour each day.


    Fortunately.


    Li Yuan''s spiritual power and willpower were now much stronger than before, and there wasn''t even a trace of pain on his face.


    In fact, Li Yuan only needed to suppress the Great Sun for half an hour every two or three days to prevent its upheaval from affecting the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    However, even though he suppressed the proud sun to the extreme every time, Li Yuan still continued to endure this grinding voluntarily.


    "Although painful, it can make my willpower increasingly strong."


    "If I don''t actively strive to cultivate, then, when the next crisis, hidden within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, erupts... I might not be able to withstand it," thought Li Yuan, also feeling a sense of crisis deep in his heart.


    What would happen if he couldn''t withstand it? No one could predict!


    Li Yuan knew too little about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    "All I can do is try to make myself stronger," Li Yuan silently vowed: "Strive with all my might to become stronger."


    Whoosh~


    Whoosh~ Accompanied by waves of pain sweeping through, the Visualization Method operated, and strands of starlight shone down, nourishing Li Yuan''s spiritual power.


    Half an hour later.


    "[Your spiritual power has increased from level 30.1 to level 30.2]" a Divine Palace prompt suddenly flashed by.


    Ever since his spiritual power transformed to the Flying Heaven Level, leveling up had become much slower.


    Li Yuan was still in quiet cultivation.


    ...


    While Li Yang and Li Yuan were successively in seclusion at this military base and not hurriedly returning to Kunlun Martial University.


    Kunlun Martial University, Vermilion Bird Tower.


    Right above.


    In the thousand-meter-high sky, a large flying saucer-shaped aircraft hovered, over thirty meters in height and more than a hundred meters in diameter.


    The entire aircraft was capable of complete optical invisibility.


    Throughout Kunlun Martial University, aside from the eight Flying Heaven Level deans and the two vice-chancellors, nobody else... including the ordinary teachers and associate deans, was aware of this aircraft''s existence.


    And it was precisely the personal vehicle and ''office'' of the president of Kunlun Martial University.


    As a result, the president was extremely mysterious in the eyes of many teachers and students.


    He didn''t even have an office.


    Inside the aircraft, the Quiet Cultivation Room, filled with a sci-fi vibe, was entirely built of metal.


    A black-robed youth was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed.


    He was two meters above the ground, with an intangible force spreading out from him. Streams of water were born out of nowhere, circulating around him. The surface of the water shimmered with strands of blue light, making his whole presence as vast as the ocean.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, Star Lord Bai Shan is calling for you," the voice of the assistant AI sounded.


    The black-robed youth slowly opened his eyes and said flatly, "Answer."


    Drip~


    Numerous rays of light shot out, forming a massive holographic projection in front of the black-robed youth.


    Within the projection appeared an old man dressed in white casual clothes.


    "Elder Bai," the black-robed youth said with a faint smile.


    "Fang Hai, it''s been a while since I''ve seen you. Are you cultivating again?" the old man in white casual clothes laughed: "I was playing with my great-grandson just now and didn''t see your call, sorry about that."


    "It doesn''t matter, elder. That your family is harmonious is a fortunate thing," Fang Hai replied with a faint smile.


    He was well aware of the standing of this elder in white casual clothes, the first person in Xia Country''s history to surpass the Flying Heaven Level.


    Even today, he remained one of Xia Country''s Seas Calming Divine Needles.


    Both his mentor, Dongfang Ji, and he himself had received guidance from this man.


    Among the many Star Masters of the Seven Star Alliance, Bai Shan''s status was extremely high.


    "I''ve seen the message you just sent me," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile: "This young fellow named Li Yuan is indeed worthy of cultivation... Let''s assign him the Second Class position in this year''s Xia Country''s Martial God Inheritance."


    "As for First Class... that''s going to depend on your mentor''s attitude. It''s better for you to speak to him than for me," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a chuckle.


    The Martial God Inheritance positions were also graded, from the highest Special Rank down to the most ordinary Third Class, and the difference was substantial.


    For example, the top three of the global collegiate Martial Path competition only received Third Class positions.


    Is a Second Class or First Class position sought? It doesn''t just depend on present strength, but the top brass has to judge potential as well.


    Xia Country, as Blue Star''s most powerful nation and the homeland of Dongfang Ji, has very high authority... every year, it can directly nominate a Second Class position.


    That is one of the two exclusive privilege positions only given by the Seven Star Alliance.


    "Ask my teacher?" Fang Hai shook his head: "Elder Bai, you know my teacher''s temperament. He values Xia Country, but he never favors any one person from Xia Country... He treats all people of the Seven Stars equally."


    "For now, a Second Class position is already very good."

 Chapter 251: Chapter 202 - Li Yangs Breakthrough! The True Value of the Spirit Fruit (Extra 11)

    "Teacher always values real combat performance over theoretical talent,"


    Fang Hai said slowly, "In history, there has never been a First Rank place for a First Stage."


    "Like Teacher, who rarely gifts precious artifacts directly to his disciples, instead letting us strive and fight to earn them."


    "Of his nine children, six died in various life-and-death experiences¡­ Li Yuan is still naive, and it''s hard to say what the future holds," Fang Hai shook his head and said, "Even if I go and speak with Teacher, it won''t be of much use."


    "The Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot is the limit of what we can do to help Li Yuan."


    "Where he goes from here will depend on his own performance," Fang Hai said slowly, "If he can soar to new heights in the virtual battles at the global university Martial Path conference and remains exceptional in the Prime Warrior stage, he will naturally secure a First Rank spot, or even a Special Rank spot."


    "Back then, I also started with a Third Class spot and rose step by step in the Martial God Inheritance until I received Teacher''s approval and became Teacher''s disciple," Fang Hai said.


    "Fair enough," the Star Master Bai Shan smiled and said, "You are Li Yuan''s principal, you decide."


    "However,"


    "Have you not broken through yet?" Star Master Bai Shan looked at the light circulating around Fang Hai and couldn''t help saying, "Why the insistence? The Wanhan Star Realm is unpredictable, and no one knows when that thing will appear. Delaying isn''t a solution¡­ Do you trust your Teacher''s judgment that much?"


    "If you broke through earlier, the foundation would transform, and your progress would be much faster than it is now," Star Master Bai Shan said.


    "I believe in Teacher," Fang Hai said with a smile, "Teacher''s judgment has never been wrong."


    "Your Teacher is indeed more formidable than I am," Star Master Bai Shan shook his head, knowing Fang Hai''s personality; this wasn''t the first time he had tried to persuade him, "Alright then, I will issue the official documents regarding Li Yuan shortly."


    "That''s settled then, I''m hanging up now."


    The projection screen faded, and the interior of the aircraft fell silent.


    "Flying Heaven Level soul? Li Yuan?"


    "I hope he does not waste this Second Class place."


    "Martial God Inheritance?" Fang Hai closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "If I want to enter the Third Area, if I want to catch up with Teacher, I must take this step¡­ The path of the mysterious heavens."


    "It''s really tough to walk."


    ...


    About the ''Second Class slot'' for the Martial God Inheritance he received directly,


    Li Yuan, far away in Jiangnan Province, was unaware.


    He had finished his Visualization Method practice and was instead continuing to cultivate "All Heavens'' Stars."


    A vast amount of Origin Power surged into his body, fusing into his form continuously as his Star Meridians operated.


    Making his physique increasingly powerful.


    "Flying Heaven Level soul, it has made my cultivation of ''All Heavens'' Stars'' much more efficient," Li Yuan anticipated within his heart, "When I awaken the second Star Meridian, it should be even faster."


    Every few days, Li Yuan would attempt to ignite more Life Stars within his Life Star space.


    Little by little, it adds up.


    As more Life Stars awaken, Li Yuan vaguely feels that the day to awaken his second Star Meridian... should not be far off.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! A powerful spiritual fluctuation burst forth suddenly, sweeping out in all directions.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan abruptly awoke from meditation as his powerful spiritual power always sensing in all directions immediately felt this spiritual fluctuation.


    The aura was very familiar.


    The spiritual fluctuation was strong but lacked any sort of aggression, disappearing as quickly as it appeared. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l''e-NovelFire.net


    "Is it Teacher?" A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan''s eyes, "It was Teacher Li Yang''s aura."


    "Could it be, Teacher has broken through?" Li Yuan speculated.


    ...


    An hour later, Li Yuan was still meditating quietly, patiently waiting.


    "Li Yuan." A voice rang out in Li Yuan''s mind.


    Telepathic Communication.


    "Teacher, has your spiritual power broken through?" Li Yuan immediately responded, the two were communicating from across rooms.


    "Haha, yes," Li Yang''s voice carried sheer joy, "It has broken through, finally after decades of pouring most of my wealth into this¡­ but the most important thing was your Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, it''s really not ordinary."


    "We''ll talk when we meet, I''m coming out soon."


    Shortly after, Li Yang, who had finished his cultivation, came to the Martial Arts Room where Li Yuan was.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan stood to greet him, already sensing the faint but powerful spiritual fluctuations emanating from Li Yang.


    This was because Li Yang had just broken through and could not yet perfectly control this spiritual power.


    "Congratulations, Teacher, I''m very happy for you," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Thank you," Li Yang''s smile was irrepressible as a breakthrough in spiritual power to the Flying Heaven Level was indeed a joyous occasion for him.


    For him, with the soul''s transformation, the hope of achieving Fifth Stage Perfection or even Sixth Stage would increase tenfold. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior? No longer just a wishful thinking.


    "If I become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, Li Yuan, your contribution will be the greatest," Li Yang couldn''t hold back from saying.


    "Teacher, it''s because you have accumulated enough depth," Li Yuan said, shaking his head repeatedly, "Your spiritual power was already at the Second Order Limit, just one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is all."


    "Even if you hadn''t received it from me today, you could have obtained it from somewhere else next time," Li Yuan said.


    He didn''t consider it his own merit.


    "No!"


    "This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit you gave is very special," Li Yang''s eyes held a gleam, "Even though it may not compare to a Fourth Rank treasure, it is definitely top-notch among Third Rank treasures."


    "It contains some divine aspect... together with some luck, I broke through," Li Yang was very happy.


    Listening, Li Yuan couldn''t help but recall the scene when he seized the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    The three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits I obtained are indeed very special.


    "The value of your Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is extremely high," Li Yang said, looking at Li Yuan. "Initially, I planned to compensate you with some more Blue Star Coins, but now it seems, just compensating with Blue Star Coins is not very meaningful."


    "In addition to our previous agreement for your uncle and aunt, I will give you another treasure," Li Yang said with a smile.


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his hand, Li Yang produced a purple elixir in his palm, emitting a faint and strange fragrance.


    "Origin Purple Longevity Pill?" Li Yuan instantly recognized the elixir, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.


    "That''s right."


    "Liu Jing told me that you probably used this pill for him," Li Yang said with a smile. "This one will continue to serve as a life-saving treasure for you, which is quite appropriate."


    "Teacher, didn''t you say it was very precious?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Indeed, it is precious," Li Yang nodded. "Normally, if Martial Artists could become Top Grade Origin Martial Artists... the Seven Star Alliance would sell it to us for an ultra-low price of ''one billion Blue Star Coins''."


    "But that''s only a one-time opportunity."


    "After that, if Top Grade Origin Martial Artists want to buy more, they have to pay 50 billion Blue Star Coins and can purchase up to five times in their lifetime," Li Yang said with a smile. "Do you understand what I''m saying?"


    "Can it be regenerated?" Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully.


    "Yes, the Origin Purple Longevity Pill indeed has a stable output but is also extremely precious," Li Yang said. "To buy a chance at life for 50 billion Blue Star Coins... we Top Grade Origin Martial Artists are still willing."


    "As for ordinary Martial Artists, most don''t have the money to buy it, so the majority is unaware."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Between beginning and intermediate Martial Artists, the strength disparity isn''t too great and can be somewhat compensated by numbers.


    But from advanced Martial Artists to Top Grade Origin Martial Artists... it''s complete domination, not even on the same level.


    Top Grade Origin Martial Artists absolutely dominate in terms of physical quality, Origin Power, and spiritual power.


    The key lies in their skills!


    Facing a Fifth Stage Skill with a Fourth Stage Skill results in total domination.


    "50 billion Blue Star Coins is too expensive," Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    By this calculation, adding the previously agreed sum, Teacher Li Yang has spent over 60 billion Blue Star Coins to purchase this Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit.


    Li Yuan believed in the other party''s astonishing wealth.


    But by Li Yuan''s estimate, it probably wouldn''t exceed twenty billion at most.


    "Take it, it''s not expensive," Li Yang said with a smile. "For me, achieving a breakthrough in spiritual power is something billions of Blue Star Coins can''t buy... now that I can breakthrough, my hope of ascending to Flying Heaven is within reach."


    "To become a Flying Heaven level, an Origin Purple Longevity Pill is trivial," Li Yang said. "If you don''t take it, it would weigh on my conscience, which is not conducive to my cultivation in the future."


    Since Li Yang put it this way, Li Yuan felt it would be rude to refuse any longer and accepted the Origin Purple Longevity Pill.


    In fact.


    Having experienced the effects of the Origin Purple Longevity Pill, Li Yuan also understood he indeed needed it.


    It could truly be life-saving at a critical moment.


    ...


    Soon after, Li Yang took Li Yuan and Shi Xiao onto a large flying vehicle returning to Kunlun Martial University.


    Since it was a chartered flight, and Li Yang wanted to have a private conversation with Li Yuan, he arranged for Shi Xiao to sit alone on the other side of the cabin.


    It was very quiet inside.


    "I figure at most by your junior year you''ll have to graduate," Li Yang, sitting in his seat, suddenly said with a smile. "Perhaps even by your sophomore year."


    "Ah?" Li Yuan was stunned.


    That soon?


    "What do you think the school can still help you with?" Li Yang asked with a smile.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    "You should be able to feel that this time seeing me, I''m not treating you as an ordinary student," Li Yang said with emotion. "Like a normal elite student, for example, Shi Xiao... after one life-and-death adventure, she would probably earn a few million Blue Star Coins."


    "So, the various rewards from the school are still very important to her."


    "But what about you?" Li Yang asked, looking at Li Yuan with a half-smile. "Your strength is already comparable to that of an ordinary Martial Artist."


    "Your earning capacity, thanks to your powerful spiritual power, is in some respects comparable to that of advanced Martial Artists," Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Indeed, the wealth he had obtained from this trip to the Mingxu Star Realm... made the school''s training plan and the Martial Hall''s contract lose their significance to some extent.


    A few million cash bonus? Not important anymore.


    Now, his assets under his name were nearly 15 billion Blue Star Coins; even Wan Qinghe might not have such a fortune.


    "Normally speaking."


    "The most valuable treasure that the school could give you would be Heavenly Materials Treasures like Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal," Li Yang said with a smile. "One unit of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal is worth approximately two billion Blue Star Coins."


    "That''s the limit, more precious treasures are not something the school can offer."


    "Even in Starfire Martial University, Starry Sky Martial University, and others, their top students work hard in their cultivation, mostly for the sake of securing a Feixing slot," Li Yang said with emotion. "But you are different."


    "Your growth rate in this little over a month has been faster than what Dean Hai and I anticipated for an entire year."


    "At your current rate of growth, it won''t be long before you become a Martial Artist and then head to Feixing to receive the inheritance... When you return from the inheritance at Feixing, it''s estimated you''ll go to various Star Realms for life-and-death adventures," Li Yang said, looking at Li Yuan. "Kunlun Martial University won''t be able to hold you for much longer."


    "Cherish your last school days," Li Yang advised.


    A few hours later.


    The flying vehicle slowly landed at the auxiliary airfield of Kunlun Martial University.

 Chapter 252: Chapter 203 Requirements for a First Rank Legacy

    The three of them came out of the airport, the ground covered with snow, and at the end of January, the winter in the northwest was extremely cold.


    "Shi Xiao, you go back first. Li Yuan and I are going to see the Dean," Li Yang said with a smile, "You also performed very well on this life-and-death adventure. Now that you''re back at school, take a few days to relax."


    "Yes, teacher," Shi Xiao nodded obediently.


    Meet the Dean? In her recollection, not many students at the academy had the chance to see the Dean alone.


    But she wasn''t surprised in her heart, as she had already sensed Li Yang''s special treatment of Li Yuan on the way back.


    It was nothing like how a student was usually treated.


    "Junior Brother, see you later." Shi Xiao quickly left, leaving Li Yuan and Li Yang standing there.


    "The Dean wants to see me?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "With such a big deal concerning you, I find it a bit strange that the President can hold back from seeing you," Li Yang said with a smile, "The Dean has been waiting for you since early morning, follow me."


    "Yes." Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully, realizing the impact he had caused was far greater than he had imagined.


    ...


    They rode a small flying vehicle, traveling through the campus.


    Li Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility and peace in his heart.


    "Sophomore year, or at the latest junior year, I will have to leave school?" Li Yuan mused to himself, Li Yang''s words still echoing in his mind.


    In truth, ever since his skill broke through to the Fifth Stage of Unity of Heaven and Man, Li Yuan had been preparing to graduate early.


    Most elite students, even his fellow schoolmate Yan He, who was already a Prime Warrior, could still obtain cultivation resources beyond their capabilities from the school.


    This was the reason why a few Prime Warrior students were still willing to stay at the academy.


    What about himself? Indeed, there was not much point in staying at school for a long time.


    "With the current rate of improvement of my physical quality, I estimate that by the end of my sophomore year, I could reach Level 25, or even the threshold of a high-level Prime Warrior," Li Yuan thought.


    It''s difficult for Prime Warriors to advance in rank, mainly because of the large span in physical quality at each level, but difficulty is relative. With higher skill realms and the awakening of the second Star Meridian... Li Yuan''s rate of physical quality improvement would only become more terrifying.


    "College career?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept across the campus.


    In fact, for most of his time at school, Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation, with little interaction with other students.


    But the mindset and atmosphere of campus life were incomparable to life-and-death adventures in the Star Realm.


    ... Bracing against the wind and snow.


    Soon after, Li Yang and Li Yuan arrived next to Dean Hai''s villa.


    From a distance, Dean Hai was seen fishing in the midst of the wind and snow, surrounded by a group of attendants.


    "What''s Dean Hai doing?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

    "Don''t ask. If you ask, he''ll say he''s not fishing for fish in the lake, but for the fish in his heart," Li Yang''s voice arose in Li Yuan''s mind, "Don''t give him the chance to educate you."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two approached quickly.


    "Dean, we''re back. Why are you fishing in this freezing weather?" Li Yang approached and respectfully said.


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, wasn''t it agreed not to ask?


    "You''re back?" Dean Hai''s figure shifted slightly, his gaze serene, and he said lightly, "What do you know? Fish in the lake are easy to catch, fish in the heart are hard to catch. Once you have a breakthrough in your spirit and mind, naturally... Huh!"


    Dean Hai suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Yang, his eyes showing a hint of shock, "Your spiritual power has broken through?"


    "Yes," Li Yang replied with a simple smile, "Dean, I bought a portion of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit from Li Yuan, and with some luck, I made the breakthrough."


    "It''s all thanks to the Dean''s previous suggestion," Li Yang said with a smile.


    "My suggestion?" Dean Hai was briefly startled, then quickly shifted to a natural smile, "Haha, I just mentioned it, it''s your own ability."


    "This is good news," Dean Hai said with a smile, "A premature breakthrough in spiritual power is a great thing, this increases your chances of advancing to the Flying Heaven Level."


    "It''s all thanks to the continuous guidance of the Dean," Li Yang said with a smile.


    "You''ve been eyeing my position as the official Dean for quite some time now, haven''t you?" Dean Hai suddenly said with a smile.


    Li Yang was caught off guard, shaking his head quickly, "No, Dean, I never had such thoughts. Not to mention I haven''t yet become a Flying Heaven Warrior, even if I do reach the Flying Heaven Level, I would still be under the Dean''s command."


    "Never mind, once you truly break through to the Flying Heaven Level, I''ll hand over my position to you," Dean Hai said leisurely, "I''ve sat here for decades, and I''m a bit tired of it."


    Before Li Yang could speak again.


    "Li Yuan," Dean Hai looked towards Li Yuan.


    "Dean," Li Yuan said respectfully.


    "All of you, go down," Dean Hai suddenly said to the several attendants at his side.


    "Yes," the attendants put down their work and left. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Take a seat," Dean Hai gestured, and two stools on his left flew directly to his right.


    Right next to Li Yuan and Li Yang.


    This display made both Li Yuan and Li Yang inwardly marvel; this was the power of a Sixth Stage Skill Realm.


    Able to truly harness the forces of heaven and earth.


    Materialization!


    Both of them sat down, quite respectfully.


    "Li Yuan, your performance this time was very good. Not only did you transform yourself, but you also made great contributions to the country. The chief officer of the Mingxu Star Realm outpost, Liu Jing, has praised you," Dean Hai said with a smile, "Now you''ve also helped your teacher make a breakthrough."


    "It''s what I should do," Li Yuan said respectfully.


    "Yes, the Martial God Inheritance quota. Li Yang must have told you about it," Dean Hai said.


    "He mentioned a bit," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Just now, President Fang has told me that you''ve been approved by Star Lord Bai Shan and have secured the only Second Class inheritance quota that Xia Country has this year," Dean Hai said.


    "Star Lord Bai Shan?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    Star Lord, he had heard from Li Yang, represented the highest echelon of the Seven Star Alliance, but as for who exactly they were, he didn''t know much.


    The difference in status was too great.


    But Bai Shan?


    That name was like a thunderclap; every Xia Country citizen would recognize it as the key figure who precipitated Xia Country''s rise to become the number one power in Blue Star... In the hearts of countless citizens, his status was perhaps even above Dongfang Ji.

 Chapter 253: Chapter 203 Requirements for a First Rank Legacy_2

    ```


    He was the true pillar of the sky in Xia Country.


    However, in recent decades, there had been little news of him.


    "Second Class quota? Are there ranks above this for the Martial God Inheritance quota?" Li Yang couldn''t help but ask out of curiosity, "Could there possibly be someone among our peers in the alliance whose talent exceeds that of Li Yuan?"


    "There are some things I shouldn''t say by principle, and you, Li Yang, aren''t qualified to know," Dean Hai said indifferently, "But now that your spiritual power has undergone transformation, I might as well share that the Martial God Inheritance quotas range from the highest, which is Special Rank, to the lowest, which is Third Class."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    "Under normal circumstances, the elites selected from the upcoming global collegiate Martial Path virtual and actual combat competitions who are making their first trip to Feixing, would typically only obtain a Third Class quota," Dean Hai explained.


    "Then why am I Second Class?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "Xia Country is the homeland of the Senior Dongfang Ji, and we hold certain privileges," Dean Hai explained bluntly, "Each year, we can directly select one candidate for the quota. This privilege is unique to the homelands of Senior Dongfang Ji and Senior Lant."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; so that was how it worked.


    Lant was the first in the whole Seven Stars human civilization to exceed the Flying Heaven Level and was historically critical in saving human civilization.


    Dongfang Ji is the undisputedly strongest in our current civilization.


    It was only natural for these two individuals'' home countries to have such privileges.


    "Had it not been for you, we might have chosen Dantai Feng this year," Dean Hai continued.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile. Had he taken Dantai Feng''s quota?


    "With Li Yuan''s talent, couldn''t he have directly applied for a First Class?" Li Yang asked, curious.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but glance at his own teacher.


    Is it okay to ask so directly?


    "Li Yuan, do you think your talent is high?" Dean Hai asked with a smile.


    "I wouldn''t dare to assume so," Li Yuan quickly shook his head.


    "Your talent is indeed very high, and your performance over the past year has been nothing short of perfect," Dean Hai said with a smile, "Looking across the entire history of humanity, you would be placed in the top tier at your age, comparable to Fang Hai back in his day. That''s why you were directly granted a Second Class quota."


    Li Yuan didn''t know how to respond for a moment.


    "Your talent is high, but never think that you are the only one who is unique," Dean Hai said with a smile, "In history, at the First Rank, there have been others besides you who possessed Flying Heaven level spiritual power... In fact, as far as I know, someone like Senior Dongfang Ji has the power to elevate the spiritual power of any First Rank martial artist to the Flying Heaven level."


    "That strong?" Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    It was outrageously powerful.


    "Yet having strong spiritual power alone is not very meaningful," Dean Hai explained with a smile: "Even among Flying Heaven warriors, who all have Flying Heaven level souls, many still struggle to break through to the Sixth Stage Skill."


    "An ordinary First Rank martial artist, even with a Flying Heaven level soul, would probably only be able to sustain his status as a top grade Origin Martial Artist." S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Spiritual power is an amplifier of Comprehension."


    Li Yuan listened carefully.


    "Like you, the reason your skills have improved so rapidly isn''t solely due to spiritual power, but it isn''t the decisive factor," Dean Hai clarified, "Even if your spiritual power were average, with your Comprehension, after many trials, you would also gradually shine, and I believe that reaching the Flying Heaven level wouldn''t be difficult for you, and even surpassing it is within the realm of possibility."


    "It''s just that the growth rate would be much slower than it is now," Dean Hai added with a smile.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Such high praise from the Dean.


    "You''re performing well, but you are still too weak and immature," he said.


    "A First Class quota... will depend on your performance from now on and after your arrival on Feixing," Dean Hai continued, "In fact, for you right now, the difference between Special Rank, First Class, and Second Class isn''t significant."


    "Once you truly come into contact with the Martial God Inheritance quota, you will naturally understand."


    "Although it''s not explicitly stated¡ª"


    "But as a convention, the First Class inheritance quota is granted only to the most top-notch among the countless Prime Warriors of our entire civilization, and there''s an unwritten rule," Dean Hai said with a faint smile, "which is to slay a Flying Heaven level Alien Race being as a Prime Warrior."


    "A Prime Warrior, slaying a Flying Heaven Alien Race?" Li Yuan''s pupils narrowed; was it really that formidable?


    First Class was that powerful.


    What about Special Rank?


    "In the entire Xia Country, only Yu Jinghe has managed to do this," Dean Hai revealed: "That''s why he is called the leading talent of Xia Country''s current generation."


    "Belonging to the younger generation, beneath the Flying Heaven," he added. Your adventure continues at m v|l-e''-NovelFire.net


    "Flying Heaven warriors, on the other hand, are the real backbone powerhouses of our civilization," Dean Hai asserted.


    "I understand," Li Yuan said, internally shaken.


    To slay a Flying Heaven Alien Race as a Prime Warrior.


    So, this was the standard for a First Class Martial God Inheritance quota.


    Listening to Dean Hai, did it seem like there were quite a few unmatched talents throughout our entire civilization?


    "Combat prowess is one of the criteria, but there are many other considerations, such as potential, age, temperament, and many more," Dean Hai continued, "For exceptional talents like you, there is always a lot of behind-the-scenes assessment going on."


    "Hmm," Li Yuan listened quietly; this was something he had started to realize.


    "The next test you will face is the global collegiate Martial Path virtual combat," Dean Hai said with a smile, "At your age, the difference in strength can be significant in just one year."


    ```


    "You are very young, so if you don''t get first place, no one will blame you."


    "But as a ''Second Class Martial God Inheritance'' nominee in advance, if your performance is too poor, it will disappoint many high-ups in the alliance," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan suddenly felt the pressure.


    Disappointment?


    Being named in advance represents both honor and expectation but equally means bearing a heavy burden.


    "The goal I''m setting for you is to break into the top ten worldwide, aiming for the top five," Dean Hai said with a smile. "As for higher, that would be too much to ask of you, so I won''t put too much pressure on you."


    Top ten? Top five? Li Yuan silently pondered.


    "What, you seem a little unconvinced?" Dean Hai said with a laugh.


    "No," Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Having fighting spirit is good. If you can climb even higher, I would be happy to see it," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Before the virtual battle begins, the school will give you all the data we''ve collected on Fifth Stage experts."


    "But you also know."


    "A lot of people''s information is confidential," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Just like your breakthrough to the Fifth Stage, most people are unaware."


    "There are many exceptional students who may have undergone amazing transformations after a year."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement; everyone''s experiences and encounters differ.


    He had the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but others might also have formidable methods at their disposal.


    He couldn''t underestimate anyone.


    "Go," Dean Hai said with a smile. "The global preliminaries will start on February 8th."


    "There''s still some time left. Work hard, and you can still improve a lot."


    Before long.


    Dean Hai watched Li Yuan and Li Yang walk away into the distance.


    "Second Class? I thought he could be an exception and get First Class," Dean Hai muttered to himself. "Old Fang really isn''t helping."


    "To not even have this bit of face in front of his own teacher."


    ...


    Li Yang accompanied Li Yuan back to his villa.


    On the way.


    "According to the data we''ve gathered within the school," Li Yang said with a smile, "only you and Jin Huguo have reached Fifth Stage Skill, so all hopes are pinned on you two."


    "Me and Senior Brother Jin?" Li Yuan nodded slightly. Jin Huguo had broken into the top hundred worldwide in his sophomore year last year.


    This year would be Jin Huguo''s last chance to compete in the Global College Martial Path Competition, and he was sure to make a fierce push.


    "Don''t let the pressure get to you," Li Yang said. "The ''real battle'' of the Global College Martial Path Competition isn''t until June, and it won''t be until July that everyone heads to Feixing... With your rate of improvement, even if you''re not as strong as the top few right now, once you reach Feixing, you''ll have a chance to surpass them."


    "Yes, teacher," Li Yuan said.


    Whew!


    Li Yang quickly departed, and Li Yuan stood in front of his dwelling, pondering silently.


    "Top ten? Top five?"


    "Not as strong as the top few?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a hint of light: "It seems that both Dean Hai and Teacher Li don''t believe I can push for the top three, let alone first."


    But Li Yuan harbored his own ambitions.


    Clang~


    He opened the door and entered his villa.


    ...


    When Li Yuan returned to Kunlun Martial University, at Starfire University located outside of Xia Country''s capital city.


    Within a vast complex of villas for third-year students, inside one of the unassuming villas.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Swoosh!"


    A cold female in a purple practice uniform was silently practicing her swordsmanship. The sword light was elegant, almost merging with the surrounding environment.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, Dean Yu is calling," the assistant A.I. announced.


    "Answer," the woman in the purple practice uniform sheathed her sword and said in a low voice.


    Whew~ A multitude of lights converged, forming a large screen projection that displayed a middle-aged man in a suit.


    "Dean Yu," the woman in the purple practice uniform bowed slightly.


    "Yin Man, I have something to inform you," said the middle-aged man in the suit, his eyes revealing a complex expression. "Our Xia Country''s Second Class Martial God Inheritance slot for this year has been confirmed."


    "It''s not you."

 Chapter 254: Chapter 204: The Virtual Battle of the Grand Competition Approaches

    ```


    "Not me?" The woman in the purple training suit was slightly startled, "Who? Dantai Feng?"


    "No," the man in the suit shook his head slightly.


    "Then Zhu Tong? Yu Mingwei?" The woman in the purple training suit named two more people in quick succession.


    These individuals were the ones she considered to be the biggest threat to her competing for the "Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot."


    Some were from Starfire University, and others from different universities.


    But they all shared three common characteristics: first, they were all from Xia Country.


    Second, none of them had been to Feixing yet.


    Third, they were all juniors or younger.


    "None of them," said the man in the suit, shaking his head.


    "Could it be someone in their senior or fifth year?" The woman in the purple training suit couldn''t help but say, "Principal Yu, isn''t this special privilege spot from our Xia Country normally given to students junior year or below?"


    "Yin Man, don''t rush," Principal Yu soothed, "This person is about the same age as Dantai Feng and also isn''t from one of the top three elite martial arts schools."


    "Li Yuan?" The woman in the purple training suit immediately thought of him, her eyes flashing, "Is that so?"


    Principal Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.


    "Has he broken through to the Fifth Stage Skill?" Yin Man pressed directly, her eyes filled with determination.


    Principal Yu shook his head, "His exact strength isn''t clear yet, but according to the information I''ve received, his spot was directly settled by our two Star Masters of Xia Country, and it''s unchangeable."


    "Most likely, he definitely has made some remarkable breakthrough," Principal Yu said.


    "Two Star Masters?" Yin Man''s heart skipped a beat.


    How many Star Masters were there in the entire Xia Country in total? What had this Li Yuan done to gain such favor from two Star Masters?


    To her knowledge, even the official principal of her own Starfire University wasn''t a Star Master.

    "Indeed, this matter has come upon us suddenly," sighed Principal Yu, "catching us off guard. Initially, the school had planned to recommend you to compete for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot."


    "After all, in terms of strength alone, looking at this year''s global university Martial Path competition, whether in virtual battles or real fights, you should be the strongest, and among all the talents in our Xia Country, you are far ahead," Principal Yu said, "then next year, we''ll push for Dantai Feng to compete for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot."


    Yin Man listened in silence.


    The strongest in strength?


    Last year, as a sophomore, she had successfully made it into the top ten in the global university Martial Path virtual battles.


    She was the only sophomore among the top ten at that time, just barely missing out on being selected for a Martial God Inheritance spot.


    After all, every year, there are only about ten spots chosen among all the Martial Path prodigies under 30 on Blue Star; the competition is indeed fierce.


    This year, her goal was not only to break into first place in both virtual battles and real fights but also to secure the second-class Martial God Inheritance spot from Xia Country.


    Though heading to Feixing later and gradually advancing from Third Class is possible, it''s much slower.


    One step ahead means being ahead at every step. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As someone longing to surpass Flying Heaven and stand at the pinnacle of civilization, she naturally coveted the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot.


    "Principal Yu, is there really no chance at all?" Yin Man asked through gritted teeth.


    "There''s no chance, the spot is already confirmed," said Principal Yu, "don''t be too discouraged, aim to steadily break into the top three in the virtual battles, and you''ll naturally get a Martial God Inheritance spot."


    "The difference between Third Class and Second Class isn''t that big," said Principal Yu, "As long as you''re excellent enough, once you arrive at Feixing, you''ll still have the chance to become Second Class and even First Rank."


    "Yes," Yin Man nodded slightly, "Principal, I will work hard."


    "By the way, Principal," Yin Man suddenly said, "this Li Yuan, he''ll be participating in the virtual battles too, right?"


    "Of course, virtual battles are a rare opportunity to hone skills, we''ll definitely have him participate," said Principal Yu.


    He had already guessed what Yin Man was thinking, but he didn''t ask any further.


    Soon, they ended the call.


    "Li Yuan?"


    "Decided by two Star Masters?" Yin Man stood alone in the Martial Arts Room, holding her sword, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness, "So they directly settle on a spot without even watching the competition?"


    "Perhaps this Li Yuan is outstanding, but they didn''t even give me a chance."


    "Fine."


    "Then let me see just how strong this Li Yuan is." Yin Man felt a nameless anger burning within her.


    As Starfire University''s top junior and perhaps even the top student of her year globally, she was extremely proud.


    Geniuses, by nature, don''t like to admit defeat.


    If she lost in a fair competition, she would accept it wholeheartedly.


    Even if their strengths were close, she would acknowledge it because, after all, she was two years older than Li Yuan.


    But without even competing? Naturally, she felt discontented.


    "Swish swish~" Streams of sword light blossomed, the sword''s energy surged violently, fiercely unyielding.


    In an instant, shocking cracks appeared on the four walls of the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ...


    Yin Man wasn''t the only one who received the message at the same time, hoping to vie for first place in the virtual battles.


    There were other top-tier geniuses from Xia Country as well.


    For example¡ªDantai Feng.


    "Principal Yu, are you saying that our Xia Country''s special privilege spot has already been decided?" Dantai Feng, looking at the suited man on the screen, couldn''t help but ask, "Yin Man?"


    The first person he thought of was Yin Man.


    "No," Principal Yu shook his head.


    "Then it''s Li Yuan," Dantai Feng said with a smile, "It couldn''t be wrong."


    "You guessed correctly," laughed Principal Yu.


    "It wasn''t hard to guess," Dantai Feng shrugged, "In terms of strength, Yin Man is the strongest... but in terms of potential, Li Yuan broke through half a month earlier than I did, and just looking at the speed of progress over the past year and a half, he has been much faster than me."


    "If you say that he is stronger than me in skill level now, I would acknowledge it."


    "Choosing him doesn''t surprise me."


    "Moreover, according to tradition, we would normally wait until the real battle ends to confirm, but now with the virtual battles yet to start, two Star Masters have already confirmed him, and if nothing unexpected happens, he surely must have done something astonishing," Dantai Feng said with a laugh.


    ```

 Chapter 255: Chapter 204: The Virtual Battle of the Grand Competition Approaches_2

    Principal Yu laughed.


    He could feel it, Yin Man was not content, and by comparison, Dantai Feng was much more at ease.


    "Work hard,"


    "You''re already at Fifth Stage Skill as a freshman," Principal Yu said with a smile, "As long as you perform even slightly better, you have hopes of being directly selected."


    "Understood," Dantai Feng nodded.


    If one placed in the top three in the virtual battles or actual combat, then, they would definitely receive a spot for the Martial God Inheritance.


    But what if one didn''t make it to the top three? Then it would be up to the higher-ups'' judgment.


    But no matter what, he was only a freshman this year; his hopes were much greater than those of last year''s Yin Man.


    He hung up the phone.


    "Li Yuan, getting a spot directly? Truly monstrous," Dantai Feng muttered to himself, "I thought after my breakthrough, I could catch up to you."


    "It seems the gap has widened even more."


    "I hope I don''t run into you in the virtual battles," Dantai Feng mumbled, "That way, my record against you remains at a hundred percent win rate."


    "Haha, that way, no matter how strong you are, you''ll still be defeated by me in the end."


    Dantai Feng''s heart was very calm.


    No matter how strong others were, Dantai Feng only pursued his own strength, and... showing off.


    "Hmm."


    "In the main tournament, I''ll definitely not be able to beat those freaks like Yin Man," Dantai Feng pondered, "So in the preliminaries... I''ll aim to dazzle, strive to take first place."


    "First place in the preliminaries is still first place!"


    ...


    As time passed day by day.


    Back at school, Li Yuan returned to his peaceful life, attending general knowledge classes each morning as usual.


    Occasionally, he would gather with classmates like An Nong and Gu Qianghan.


    Before they knew it, February 1 arrived, and at Kunlun Martial University, in the villa, nightfall came.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" Just after having dinner, Li Yuan silently practiced with his spear, feeling the changes in his body and the outside world as his Spear Technique flowed.


    Swish swish swish~ The spear''s tip whirled, conjuring dozens of spear shadows, their speed reaching the ultimate fastness.


    "My mind can always be in perfect harmony with heaven and earth,"


    "Even if I were to meditate in concealed cultivation, I could feel my entire body gradually merging with heaven and earth," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But as soon as I explode with power and execute the Spear Technique, I immediately disrupt this state, and even the harmony of mind and spirit with heaven and earth becomes difficult."


    This was a lack of control.


    And a deficiency in realm.


    "Slow down."


    "I need to try slowing down," Li Yuan''s Long Spear in hand began to move more slowly; "With my mind tuning into each thrust, seeking the maximum might of every spear, following the natural traces of the heavenly and earthly movements."


    "Pursuing the strongest might."


    "To merge completely with heaven and earth is the standard of Fifth Stage Perfection, which I cannot do right now."


    "I can only try to make every spear strike as integrated with heaven and earth as possible," Li Yuan said to himself.


    After practicing "Meaning of the Stellar" repeatedly, along with previous exchanges with Li Yang and Dean Xu, he had a clearer plan for his upcoming cultivation journey.


    First, slow down the spearwork, letting each move blend with heaven and earth.


    Then speed up, integrating the Spear Technique with heaven and earth.


    In the end, when the whole person bursts into action, they will be able to merge into heaven and earth, and then, whether it''s the movement technique or the Spear Technique, strength will erupt to an unimaginable degree.


    Harmony with heaven and earth is the beginning of Unity of Heaven and Man.


    And to embody heaven and earth is to reach Fifth Stage Perfection.


    Time ticked away, second by second.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan suddenly felt his smart ring vibrating and looked down to see it was a message from a stranger.


    The communication request read: "I am Dantai Feng, Big Zhuang gave me your number."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile as he accepted the friend request and answered the call.


    Whoosh!


    The light screen projection coalesced, revealing Dantai Feng''s figure, showing he was in a Martial Arts Room.


    "Li Yuan, long time no see," Dantai Feng struck what he believed to be a cool pose and laughed, "Still cultivating so late?"


    "How else can I keep up with you?" Li Yuan joked, "The global virtual battles are almost here, and I want to beat you once, to get revenge for last time."


    "How about we have a match on the Starry Skies Fighting Network first?" Li Yuan chuckled, "Just to warm up?"


    "No need, I don''t want to run into you," Dantai Feng said with a laugh, "Don''t think of setting a trap for me, I know you''ve long broken through to the Fifth Stage Skill."


    "I''m not falling for that," Dantai Feng declared confidently.


    Li Yuan shook his head, amused.


    Li Yuan wasn''t surprised that Dantai Feng knew about his breakthrough; Li Yang had mentioned it before.


    "Is there something else?" Li Yuan asked.


    "The Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot this year, you got it, right?" Dantai Feng said with a smile.


    Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    "Stop playing dumb, it''s no secret to me, our vice-chancellor notified me," Dantai Feng said with a smile, "I''m not here just to congratulate you, I just want to tell you to be careful."


    "Careful?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "There''s someone from Starfire University named Yin Man, I believe you''ve heard of her," Dantai Feng said with a chuckle, "She is..."


    "Never heard of her," Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    Dantai Feng paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Then let me educate you a bit..."


    Soon, Li Yuan knew who Yin Man was.


    "This special quota was originally hers?" Li Yuan contemplated.


    "You could say she was the most hopeful," said Dantai Feng with a smile, "The competition hasn''t even started, and you''ve snatched it away. With her personality, she''s probably not too pleased with you."


    "Not pleased then not pleased," Li Yuan said with a laugh, "Should I help her feel pleased?"


    "She probably wants to beat you," Dantai Feng said with a laugh, "I just wanted to remind you to be careful when you meet her in the competition, don''t lose too badly."


    "Lose?"


    "This girl named Yin Man, she broke into the top ten of the virtual battles in her sophomore year, is she that strong?" Li Yuan asked with a faint smile, "Which one of us isn''t stronger than her?"


    Dantai Feng was taken aback and then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, that''s Li Yuan for you. You''re right, which one of us isn''t stronger than her? We definitely don''t need to be afraid of her."


    "Right."


    "Then I''ll look forward to your duel with her," Dantai Feng said with a smile, "Remember, if you run into me in the main event, don''t go too hard, leave me some dignity."


    "If I give you dignity, I''d have to lose," Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    Shortly after.


    The communication was disconnected.


    "According to the information provided by the teacher, she entered the top ten of the virtual battles in her sophomore year, and another year has passed.


    This person named Yin Man truly has hopes of reaching the top of the virtual battles this year," Li Yuan said to himself with a slight smile, "Moreover, she''s already a junior; her physical quality must also be very strong, she likely has a chance to aim for the top spot in actual combat."


    Li Yuan had claimed not to know Yin Man, but in reality, he had seen the information sent by Li Yang a few days ago.


    It specifically highlighted Yin Man as the number one seed player.


    "She''s strong, but my spear is no less formidable," Li Yuan thought to himself calmly.


    He continued to practice his Spear Technique.

    He practiced with the spear until midnight.

    "[Your Body Method Realm has increased from Fifth Stage 24% to Fifth Stage 25%]" Two prompts from the Divine Palace flashed in succession.


    ...


    Before long, another two days had passed.


    On February 3rd, close to noon, first-year students from the Sixth Institute began to file out from the Heilong Building.


    "Big brother, help me with my Sword Technique after lunch, okay?" An Nong said with a smile.


    "Sure," Li Yuan replied with an easy smile, "Come to my villa in the afternoon."


    Li Yuan was always willing to help his close classmates and friends when they asked for guidance.


    Teaching others was also a process of teaching oneself.


    In the process of giving pointers to others, perhaps one might unknowingly gain clarity on points they had previously not understood.


    "Brother Yuan, do you have the confidence to break into the top 100 of the virtual battles in this Global Martial Arts Competition?" Gu Qianghan asked eagerly.


    "What about you?" Li Yuan replied with a smile, "Confident about making it to the main event?"


    "Man, if I could make it to the main event in my freshman year, my dad could brag for a whole year," muttered Gu Qianghan, shaking his head, "I think you winning the championship is more likely than me making it to the main event."


    Li Yuan said with a laugh, "We''ll see when the time comes."


    Suddenly.


    "Buzz~" "Buzz~" Almost at the same moment, the smart rings on the hands of Li Yuan, Gu Qianghan, An Nong, and the others vibrated simultaneously.


    Everyone instinctively checked their rings.


    Li Yuan wasn''t surprised and clicked on the light screen that appeared, projecting a document from the school¡ª "Global Collegiate Martial Arts Competition 2044 (Virtual Battle) Schedule and Rules."


    "The virtual battles are finally about to begin," Li Yuan said with a slight smile.

 Chapter 256: Chapter 205: Cruel Rules (Extra 12)

    Upon returning to the villa, Li Yuan headed to the underground Martial Arts Room, and as all the lights came on,


    a myriad of light rays converged, forming a holographic projection.


    "Global Martial Arts University Tournament 2044 (Virtual Combat) Schedule and Rules," Li Yuan read aloud while opening the document.


    Instantly, the projection displayed an abundance of text:


    "Since the inaugural Virtual Combat of the Global Martial Arts Tournament in 2009, we have upheld fairness and impartiality..." Li Yuan swiftly skipped over the first thousand words of superfluous text.


    His gaze settled on the most critical parts: the schedule and rules.


    "In Virtual Combat, all competitors have the same physical quality, and the strength of their weapons is uniform. Competitors can choose any weapon... What will be tested are their combat awareness, experience, and skill."


    "The Virtual Combat will take place on the Starry Skies Fighting Network. A special ''Global Martial Arts University Tournament Space'' will be opened, where any student from Martial Arts Universities around the world can observe."


    "Registration deadline: 8:00 AM on February 7th, Blue Star time."


    "Registration conditions: ..."


    "The whole Virtual Combat will be divided into four major stages: preliminaries, free-for-all, elimination rounds, and finals."


    "The preliminaries will commence globally at 8:00 PM on February 8th, with only individual scores made public, not the specific combat process. Competitors with a score exceeding 4,000 points will qualify for the free-for-all stage."


    "The free-for-all stage will be public. Students from all Martial Arts Universities can randomly select competitors to watch, and depending on the number of participants who pass the preliminaries, they will be evenly distributed into ten ''Stellar Battlefields.'' The competitor with the highest score in each battlefield will proceed directly to the finals."


    "In each Stellar Battlefield, those ranked 2nd to 100th, a total of 990 people, will enter the elimination round."


    "The elimination round will involve 990 people through group round-robin tournaments, resurrection matches, and life-and-death battles... Ultimately, the other ten places in the top twenty for the final stage will be decided."


    "The finals will feature the strongest twenty competitors, representing the highest level of skill among the young generation of Blue Star, engaging in peak battles, sequentially deciding the top ten! Top five! And first place!"


    "Attachment: ''Detailed Rules of the Stellar Battlefield,'' ''Detailed Rules of the Elimination Round,'' ''Detailed Rules of the Final Round.''"


    ...


    Having quickly finished reading the entire document, Li Yuan realized that the rules were quite complex, given that it was an important global martial arts event.


    However, Li Yuan felt quite calm.


    "These rules are very similar to the ten-schools freshmen competition," Li Yuan thought to himself. "No need to fuss over it too much; just battle my way through."


    "Preliminaries with 4,000 points? Just pass them."


    "But the Stellar Battlefield, as long as I can take first place there, can I directly enter the top twenty?" A thought crossed Li Yuan''s mind.


    The elimination round, having to select ten people out of 990, was bound to be extremely fierce.


    And quite prolonged.


    "It would waste too much of my time. If these people were all Fifth Stage experts, their battles would indeed be considered tempering. But most will only have Fourth Level skills, making fighting them less beneficial than dedicated cultivation," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    For the current Li Yuan, clashing with those of the Fourth Level skills was simply a waste of time.


    In an instant, Li Yuan had a goal in mind¡ªaiming to seize first place in the ''Stellar Battlefield'' during the free-for-all.


    However.


    Li Yuan glanced at the ''Stellar Battlefield Rules'' and realized it wasn''t merely a battle among participants. In addition to other contenders, a plethora of Star Realm Creatures would randomly appear, some of which could be very strong.


    Therefore, in such large-scale chaos, theoretically, it relied somewhat on luck.


    For example, avoid suddenly being besieged by a multitude of virtual Star Realm Creatures.


    For example, avoid encountering Fifth Stage experts.


    "Luck?"


    "As long as I am the strongest, I can sweep through any opponent that comes my way," Li Yuan told himself. "As long as my luck isn''t too terrible, preventing others from encountering me, that''s enough."


    Other competitors would hope for good luck to break into the top one thousand and advance to the elimination round.


    After all, being among the global top one thousand would yield a generous cash reward¡ªten million Blue Star Coins.


    But Li Yuan didn''t care about that.


    Ten million Blue Star Coins? With his current wealth, he didn''t care much about that sum. What he yearned for was to duel against true powerhouses.


    To clash with Blue Star''s top-tier talents of his generation.


    "Since the higher-ups have acknowledged me and granted me a Second Class Martial God Inheritance slot," Li Yuan mused, "I need to work hard to strive for a rank among the global top three, or even first."


    "Besides, the rewards for the top three are quite substantial," Li Yuan noted, glancing at the rewards for the final stage.


    Those who make it into the top twenty of the finals will be awarded one hundred million Blue Star Coins.


    Breaking into the top ten will yield a reward of five hundred million Blue Star Coins.


    The top three will be awarded Heavenly Materials Treasures valued at approximately two billion Blue Star Coins!


    "Two billion Blue Star Coins? My entire fortune now is barely less than 1.5 billion Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The reward was indeed substantial.


    But Li Yuan quickly realized that most of those who could make it into the top three of the finals were likely Prime Warriors aspiring to become Flying Heaven Warriors, with immense consumption of various cultivation resources... It was no surprise, then, that the rewards were so generous.


    He closed the document.


    "Continue cultivating," Li Yuan calmed his mind, continuing to silently practice his Spear Technique.


    ... Some classmates came in the afternoon; Li Yuan advised each on their practice and saw them off.


    He continued with his cultivation.


    At eight o''clock in the evening, Li Yuan entered the virtual network capsule.


    Logged into the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    "Sign up for the Global University Martial Arts Tournament (Virtual Battle)," Li Yuan applied immediately.


    The application was quickly approved.


    After waiting for two minutes, Li Yuan glanced again and found that the number of registrants had exceeded two million and was still rising.


    "So many people."


    "Makes sense, just in our Xia Country, each session of Martial Arts University students is close to 300,000," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Adding up from freshman to junior year, that''s over 800,000."


    "Looking at the whole world."


    "Hmm, there would be three to four million eligible students from Martial Arts University alone."


    "Plus, some people from society and some students from regular universities," Li Yuan thought. "All together, it''s not a small number."


    Although the competition is named ''Global University Martial Arts Tournament'', it''s not limited to students from Martial Arts University.


    Anyone under the age of 21 is eligible to register, but students not from Martial Arts University are not allowed to watch the battles.


    Therefore, this would lead to an astonishing rise in the number of participants in the preliminaries.


    ¡­


    "Virtual battles signify skill level,"


    "And in Martial Arts Cultivation, skill is the most important; only when the skill is strong enough can one become a Prime Warrior, a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "Strive hard to push through."


    "This year, we in Europa must try to ensure that there are over 30% of us among the top 1000,"


    ¡­


    "We must watch carefully."


    "Those who stand out in the virtual battles are the future powerhouses of the Blue Star within the Seven Stars human civilization."


    "Blue Star, having given birth to the unbeatable Dongfang Ji, is extremely mysterious and special."


    "Dongfang Ji alone could slaughter countless peak powerhouses; without him, the Seven Stars human civilization might have been wiped out long ago, let alone continue to this day."


    "Our people have infiltrated Martial Arts University; let them observe the rankings closely, watch the battles meticulously, identify and record these future powerhouses'' information, and analyze it,"


    "As soon as we confirm the identities of certain super-geniuses, we will try to ascertain their whereabouts and carry out assassinations!"


    "Like the geniuses who could break into the top three, eliminating one would be like eliminating a future Flying Heaven Warrior or even someone surpassing that."


    In secret, many spies from alien races lurking on Blue Star were paying close attention to this competition.


    Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.


    Especially those alien civilizations hostile to the Seven Stars human civilization, like the Tianliang Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization, were extremely interested in such competitions.

    "You are the top of the junior class at Starry Sky University. This year, the hope of our United States rests on your shoulders," the Western man continued.


    "Senior Sangbu, I understand," replied the young white man named Harmon, burly and stout, resembling a tower, wearing immensely heavy armor.


    "Last year, in the battle from the top twenty to the top ten, I lost to Xia Country''s Yin Man."


    "This year, she remains my biggest competitor."


    "I, will definitely defeat her," the burly young Westerner said slowly, "and take the first place."


    "And claim the Martial God Inheritance spot."


    The video projection was turned off.


    "Huh!"


    The burly white young man took out his combat saber and continued his training; his sword technique was incredibly swift and ferocious.

    Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was February 7th.


    The registration for the tournament had ended, with over six million people signed up.

    Li Yuan had been consistently cultivating, with his Spear Technique and movement techniques steadily improving.


    The afternoon of February 7th.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan, who was practicing spear in the underground Martial Arts Room,


    suddenly received a message.


    "Your bank account... has received a transfer of 50,000 Blue Star Coins from Li Tianyou."

 Chapter 257: Chapter 206: Achieving Benefits for All Under Heaven

    "L¨« Tianyou? Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment.


    Memories of the past flooded his mind instantaneously.


    Before the high school assessment in April of their senior year, he gave L¨« Tianyou fifty thousand Blue Star Coins under the guise of a ''loan'' so that the latter could take better care of his health, emphasizing that he could wait until after university graduation to repay it.


    At the time, Li Yuan''s wealth was far from what it was today.


    "To think he repaid it as a freshman?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins meant nothing to the current him.


    But for an ordinary freshman at Jiangbei Martial University?


    It must have been somewhat of a burden.


    It is known that most students from Jiangbei Martial University graduate around level twelve, and those who graduate at level fifteen are considered elites.


    Based on Li Yuan''s estimation, L¨« Tianyou''s Physical Quality was probably around level eight right now.


    After pondering a bit, sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Di~" Li Yuan proactively called L¨« Tianyou. After only five or six seconds,


    a holographic projection formed, displaying L¨« Tianyou''s figure. Having not seen him for over half a year, he had become much more robust than during their senior year, and his expression even more resolute.


    However, he seemed a bit at a loss.


    "Li Yuan." L¨« Tianyou showed an awkward smile.


    "You repaid the money so quickly; you could have at least sent me a message." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Do you look down on me, your old classmate?"


    "No, absolutely not." L¨« Tianyou shook his head repeatedly, "I just didn''t want to disturb your cultivation. After all, I know your time is precious. You must be a top student at Kunlun Martial University by now."


    "I watched the battle between the ten colleges'' freshmen last year," L¨« Tianyou said with an embarrassed smile.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help laughing.


    The freshmen battle of the ten colleges was something all Martial Arts University students across Xia Country could watch. It was normal for L¨« Tianyou to know a bit about his situation.


    "I''m busy, but I still have time to talk to an old classmate," Li Yuan said with a smile, "How is everything at Jiangbei Martial University? It seems you''re doing quite well."


    "Not bad." L¨« Tianyou revealed a slight smile, "You know Professor Ming, right?"


    "Professor Ming?" Li Yuan nodded, "I do."


    During senior year, Jiangbei University hosted a recruitment event where Professor Ming invited him to join Jiangbei Martial University.


    However, after the college entrance exams, they lost contact.


    "In December this year, our school organized a special test, which seemed to revolve around spiritual will," said L¨« Tianyou with a smile, "I was lucky to break into the top ten among the freshmen, and Professor Ming took notice of me. Now, I''m cultivating under him."


    "Top ten? Impressive!" Li Yuan exclaimed admiringly.


    After some thought, Li Yuan reasoned that since L¨« Tianyou''s Physical Quality wasn''t very strong and his spiritual power was likely below average among the thousands of freshmen at Jiangbei Martial University... yet he made it to the top ten.


    Just in terms of Willpower, L¨« Tianyou was probably the first among the freshmen at Jiangbei Martial University.


    Li Yuan wasn''t surprised by this. He had long known about the other''s determination and perseverance.


    "Later, when Professor Ming found out I was your high school classmate, he valued me even more. I passed the first stage of the test and got some cash rewards, so I thought I''d repay you first," L¨« Tianyou said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    "According to Professor Ming, even though I don''t have a compatible high-rank Cultivation Technique, I still have a chance to become a Prime Warrior," said L¨« Tianyou, "but it will be somewhat painful."


    "Painful?" Li Yuan''s interest was piqued, and he asked, "Cleansing Spirit Marrow?"


    L¨« Tianyou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Right, Li Yuan, you know about it?"


    "I know," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Not only did he know, but he had also been tormented by it repeatedly.


    Li Yuan thought for a moment, "What''s the monthly quota of cultivation resources for you at Jiangbei Martial University now?"


    "One Cleansing Spirit Marrow and twenty batches of First Rank blood-qi medicinal remedies," L¨« Tianyou responded with a full smile, "Plus, you receive quite a bit of cash as a reward for each target you achieve."


    It was apparent that L¨« Tianyou was very satisfied.


    "The professor says that the most important thing for me now is to strive to reach the Fourth Level of skill technique."

    "When that happens, my Physical Quality will improve a lot faster," L¨« Tianyou said somewhat helplessly, "Unfortunately, I only broke through to the Third Level at the end of last semester."


    "That''s already very fast," Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    If his memory served him right.


    Just before the college entrance exams, L¨« Tianyou had just entered the Second Stage of skill technique.


    In half a year, L¨« Tianyou advanced from the Second Stage to the Third Stage of skill technique... This rate of progress, even among the many freshmen at Kunlun Martial University, was quite remarkable.


    After all, not everyone is him.


    The two chatted some more.


    "Alright, Li Yuan, I won''t disturb your cultivation," L¨« Tianyou said with a smile.


    But before he could end the call,


    L¨« Tianyou was shocked to discover that a message flashed across the holographic projection in front of him: "Your account... has received a transfer of 10 million Blue Star Coins from Li Yuan."


    "T-ten million Blue Star Coins?" L¨« Tianyou was instantly stunned, looking at Li Yuan in the projected screen in shock.


    For him, this was an unimaginable fortune.


    "Li Yuan, how can you... so much money..." L¨« Tianyou was at a loss for words for a moment.


    It was too much.


    "Tianyou, this money is still a loan from me to you," Li Yuan said with a smile, "To assist your cultivation."


    "A loan for me? I could never repay it in this lifetime," L¨« Tianyou shook his head continuously, "Besides, this money must be important to you as well."


    He knew Li Yuan was formidable.


    But subconsciously, he still felt that Li Yuan, like him, was just a freshman. No matter how outstanding, it seemed implausible for Li Yuan to casually spare 10 million Blue Star Coins.


    "Tianyou, this money isn''t that significant to me anymore, but it''s very important for you," Li Yuan''s voice grew serious.


    L¨« Tianyou was stunned.


    Insignificant to Li Yuan? Just how powerful was Li Yuan now?


    "If you weren''t striving hard and had given up on the Martial Path, I definitely wouldn''t lend you the money," Li Yuan said earnestly, "But Professor Ming thinks highly of you... I trust his judgment. You don''t have a compatible high-rank Cultivation Technique, so to become a Prime Warrior, you''ll need a lot of resources."


    "Resources mean spending money, and this ten million isn''t even enough for your cultivation, I''m sure you''ve realized that in your half year at university."


    L¨« Tianyou didn''t say a word.


    He fully understood that.


    "Among our group of friends from our senior year, people like Zhou Qi went to cultural universities, and we don''t have much contact," Li Yuan looked at L¨« Tianyou, "The ones who have really been going crazy on the Martial Path, aside from me, are probably only you."


    "As classmates, I want to help you."


    "Money is meant to be spent, don''t worry about it too much. Just focus on your cultivation and strive to become a Prime Warrior in the future," Li Yuan said with a laugh, "When the time comes, not to mention ten million Blue Star Coins, even earning a hundred million won''t be difficult."


    "Alright, that''s it for now. I have some things to attend to, so I''ll end the call," Li Yuan said with a smile, and then he disconnected the call.


    Left standing before the screen, Li Tianyou was still filled with shock.


    "Help me?"


    "Become a Prime Warrior?" Li Tianyou clenched his arms, a hint of determination in his eyes, "Li Tianyou, oh Li Tianyou."


    "Opportunity!"


    "Others may come from better backgrounds or have higher talent... but having a classmate like Li Yuan is also an opportunity," Li Tianyou silently told himself, "I must seize it."


    "Don''t let down his expectations."


    At the same time, Li Tianyou could feel the carefree and wild tone in Li Yuan''s words.


    Ten million, a hundred million Blue Star Coins seemed like nothing.


    This was the power of strength.


    "Work hard."


    "Strive, even if it''s desperate, to become a Prime Warrior." Biting his teeth, Li Tianyou quickly started placing orders in the school''s ''Cultivation Resource Treasury,'' buying more cultivation resources.


    His cultivation was extremely arduous.


    But the school had a system, resources were limited, and for a student like him, without High Rank cultivation methods and techniques not particularly outstanding, it was already remarkable for the school to invest millions of Blue Star Coins in him every year.


    ...


    At Jiangbei Martial University, Professor Ming, who was meditating quietly in the Martial Arts Room, suddenly opened his eyes, having received a ''student anomaly alert.''


    He clicked on the screen to check.


    "Li Tianyou ordered so many qi and blood potions? And Essence Pills for Origin Power?" Professor Ming looked at the alert and wondered to himself, "Where did he get the money?"


    After a moment of thought, he directly called Li Tianyou.


    ...


    At Kunlun Martial University, inside Li Yuan''s villa.


    "Hm? Professor Ming." Li Yuan, who had just finished a short training session, received a call from Professor Ming.


    "Is it about Tianyou?" Li Yuan quickly answered.


    The call connected.


    "Li Yuan, hello," came a deep voice from the communication.


    ...


    Shortly after, Li Yuan hung up the call with Professor Ming, who had been very polite throughout.


    At the same time, it gave Li Yuan a true understanding of Li Tianyou''s situation.


    Li Tianyou, far from merely ''struggling'' as he described himself, was not just among the top ten in the test of Spiritual Will but¡ªsecond!


    The intensity of his cultivation practice could be described as madness.


    It was this terrifying willpower that caught Professor Ming''s attention and ultimately led to his exceptional promotion to the ''Warrior Class.''"


    At the same time.


    Li Tianyou, in the span of half a year at university, was rapidly accelerating in skill proficiency¡­ slowly revealing his edge.


    According to Professor Ming''s estimation, by his third or fourth year, Li Tianyou''s skills could potentially reach the Fourth Level.


    Upon hearing this from Professor Ming, Li Yuan thought of a phrase¡ªaccumulating thickly to discharge thinly!


    "Talent is not immutable."


    "Skills are honed over time."


    "Comprehension and mental temperament can transform over a long period, alongside experiences," Li Yuan''s understanding grew clearer, "Quick progress now doesn''t mean quick progress at every step."


    "Perhaps, Tianyou wasn''t dazzling during his high school days, but he has been gritting his teeth and persevering, tempering his will. The hardships and dangers did not break him; instead, they made him even stronger."


    "This will all become the foundation for his future growth."


    "Once a certain level is reached, as long as one can endure it, a rapid transformation is inevitable," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Li Yuan was quite expectant of his old classmate''s achievements.


    As for transferring 10 million Blue Star Coins to Li Tianyou? Li Yuan didn''t care at all.


    This amount of money meant little to Li Yuan.


    Now, with his powerful spiritual power, a single adventure in any Star Realm could earn Li Yuan at least several tens of millions of Blue Star Coins.


    Like a few days ago.


    He had transferred 50 million Blue Star Coins to his uncle and aunt, to be used for his younger brother''s and sister''s cultivation during this phase.


    He also hinted to his uncle that he had earned the money himself, not to worry too much.


    What is the purpose of earning money? To spend it!


    "The Martial Path is for achieving clarity of thought."


    "Now that I have the ability to seize vast wealth, parting with some of it to provide a better life for my family and helping friends within my means brings me great happiness," Li Yuan continued his training, practicing with his spear.


    After the situation with Li Tianyou.


    Li Yuan felt his Spear Technique becoming increasingly smooth in his hands.


    Li Yuan harbored the aspiration of ''reaching out to help the world,'' having been influenced by his uncle long ago, and his experiences since starting university, he aspired to one day protect civilization like the senior Dongfang Ji.


    But that would be in the future.


    "Right now, my abilities are still limited, and my strength is not yet powerful, but I should at least manage to be self-sufficient and benefit those around me who are worthy of help," Li Yuan''s thoughts were very pure, doing what he could with the abilities he had.


    He did not give away his money lightly.


    As for Li Tianyou, Li Yuan felt his extreme diligence was worth helping, and only then did Li Yuan decide to assist.


    All decisions followed his own heart.


    "Whoosh!"


    As Li Yuan manipulated his Long Spear, suddenly the Spear Light surged, as if it drew upon some invisible force, causing a dazzling starlight to burst forth in midair.


    The starlight flickered, becoming more like flowing star rivers.


    "[Your Spear Technique level has increased from Fifth Stage 27% to Fifth Stage 29%]" a Divine Palace prompt flashed by.


    "Just one more step away from the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage," Li Yuan continued his training with increased seriousness.


    With each passing day of dedicated hard practice.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel that he was getting closer to understanding the "Meaning of the Stellar," the Third Layer, ''Galactic Convergence.''


    ...


    Time passed.


    On the evening of February 8th, 2044, Xia Country Time (Blue Star Time).


    The ''Global College Martial Arts Competition (Virtual Combat),'' followed by countless people around the world, was about to begin.

 Chapter 258: Chapter 207: King of the Preliminaries

    February 8th, evening at 7:40 PM, in the underground Martial Arts Room of Li Yuan''s villa.


    The light screen projection formed.


    "Auntie, how have you been feeling these past few days after taking the rare Spirit Liquid?" Li Yuan asked with a smile as he was video calling with his family.


    "Much better, my body feels a lot more comfortable, and some of the minor ailments have all but disappeared, even my strength has increased significantly," Auntie said through the light screen projection, "This stuff must be pretty expensive, right?"


    "Indeed, it''s not cheap, but I can still afford it right now," Li Yuan laughed, "Auntie, you don''t need to worry. Didn''t you all see my strength during the Fish Spirit Tide last time?"


    Auntie, Uncle Li Changzhou, and the siblings nearby all nodded in agreement.


    Like this time, why was Li Yuan able to persuade Li Changzhou and the others so easily?


    It''s because during the Fish Spirit Tide, Li Yuan had already exhibited terrifying strength, and later even received a First Rank Silver Quality medal, letting his family know that at that time, Li Yuan already possessed nearly the strength of a Prime Warrior.


    In their minds, a Prime Warrior was already incredibly powerful.


    "Uncle, I''ve already used my teacher''s channels to try to purchase treasures to treat your health issues, and they should arrive soon," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    The treatment plan for Auntie was very mature, and as long as one was willing to spend the money to book a team, it could be carried out.


    But for Heavenly Materials Treasures like the Dragon Heart Spirit Fruit, which are multifunctional and scarce, they''re not easy to acquire.


    These days, Li Yang had been inquiring through various channels.


    Even with money, one often has to wait for Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    "Haha, there''s no rush, my health is quite good for now," Li Changzhou laughed, "You, on the other hand, take care of yourself. When venturing into the Star Realm... be sure to be careful."


    "Mm," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Brother, is the global university Martial Path competition starting today?" Li Muhua, with sparkling eyes, couldn''t help but ask, "Our school has been talking about it for the last few days. It''s a pity we can''t watch the matches; we can only watch some promotional videos at the end."


    "Yes, the preliminaries are about to begin," Li Yuan laughed.


    The competition being entirely open? That''s difficult.


    "Then you should hurry up, don''t delay the match," Auntie quickly said.


    "Auntie, don''t worry, the preliminaries are a virtual contest, and I can join the battle at any point from eight to twelve," Li Yuan laughed.


    He was not in a hurry at all in his heart; it was rare for him to video call with his family.


    "Muhua, train well, and when I come back for vacation, I will test the results of your cultivation," Li Yuan said.


    "Understood," Li Muhua nodded earnestly, "Brother, rest assured, I will definitely cultivate diligently."


    "Brother, good luck, and take the first place," Li Qianqian laughed.


    The two siblings, as they were growing up, Li Muhua became increasingly dedicated to practicing Martial Path... while it seemed that Li Qianqian''s interests lay elsewhere.


    Li Yuan did not interfere in this matter.


    ...


    Soon after, Li Yuan ended the call with his family.


    In Starfire South Lake Community, inside Li Yuan''s family villa, Li Qianqian and Li Muhua busied themselves with their own things.


    The only ones left were Chen Hui and Li Changzhou in the living room.


    "You''re not going to persuade him even a bit?" Chen Hui sighed softly, "Didn''t you find out that what I''m taking costs at least a hundred million Blue Star Coins? With such a large sum of money, how many dangers must Li Yuan face to earn it? Why should he spend it on us?"


    "There are some things you can''t just talk people out of," Li Changzhou said with a faint smile, "Haven''t you understood from the last Fish Spirit Tide?"


    "Understood what?" Chen Hui was puzzled.


    "Half a year in university and he has strength close to a Prime Warrior; he even made two university deans come to see him specifically," Li Changzhou looked at his wife, "Each of the deans has a status even higher than the Hall Master of Fei City¡­ Our nephew''s talent and future achievements are bound to far exceed our imagination."


    Chen Hui was stunned for a moment.


    Her horizon was not low, it was just that the changes Li Yuan brought were too big and too fast, and subconsciously she hadn''t caught up yet.


    "Li Yuan''s future may see him become a Flying Heaven Warrior, or even reach higher heights," Li Changzhou spoke softly, "His growth is extremely fast, and he will meet many seniors whose horizons, status, and strength far surpass us."


    "Most importantly, his vision and strength have probably already far surpassed us."


    "At this time, we shouldn''t give him any advice," Li Changzhou smiled, "You need to understand one thing, we are all just ordinary people... If we could provide correct guidance to a future super Martial Artist, would we be in our current situation?"


    Chen Hui was startled for a moment, and then looking at her husband, she couldn''t help but say, "Then what should we do?"


    "Eat well, drink well, maintain good health, follow the arrangements, and do our best to educate Muhua and the others," Li Changzhou laughed, "Don''t burden Li Yuan."


    "Also, turn away those relatives who come asking for favors."


    "I''m going fishing," Li Changzhou got up, preparing to get his fishing gear.


    "At this late hour?" Chen Hui couldn''t help but say.


    "Night fishing is more peaceful. If I go during the day, Lord Wan often comes to disturb me," Li Changzhou laughed, "Lord Wan is a good person, but there''s no need to owe Li Yuan any favors."


    "The more low-key we are, the better it is for Li Yuan."


    "So you have to go fishing?" Chen Hui also stood up, frowning, "Day after day, all you think about is fishing."


    "Fishing is a must, I''ve worked hard for so many years, and fishing is all I''ve got," Li Changzhou expressed.


    ...


    Kunlun Martial University, inside the villa.


    After chatting with his family, Li Yuan still didn''t rush to enter the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Instead, he continued to cultivate "All Heavens'' Stars", bringing today''s Origin Power cultivation to its upper limit.


    This continued until 8:40 PM.


    "[Your Life Level has been raised from 19.5 to 19.6]" a Divine Palace notification suddenly flashed.

    Another ten minutes passed before Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, murmuring to himself, "Finally reached 19.6."


    Since coming back from the Mingxu Star Realm, almost ten days had passed, allowing Li Yuan''s Life Level to increase by 0.2. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Subconsciously, Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.

    "Going to Feixing will have to wait until July this year,"


    "The practical fights of the global Martial Path university competition will also start at the beginning of June,"


    "In the meantime, staying at the university for silent cultivation won''t be of much significance to me," Li Yuan thought to himself, "After the virtual battle ends, I''ll spend some more time in concealed cultivation, and once I become a Prime Warrior, I''ll venture into the Second Level Star Realm for adventure once again."


    This was Li Yuan''s plan for himself.


    The Second Level Star Realm is generally more dangerous than the First Level Star Realm.


    Once you become a Prime Warrior, your strength will surge greatly.


    Even when facing a Second Rank mid-level opponent, you would be able to cope, and entering the Second Level Star Realm would then be much safer.


    Later on, by killing members of the Alien Race and seizing spiritual nutrients, you can accumulate your Spiritual Awakening Level to the 40% limit, and you will get another surge of Origin Power in your body, which will hugely increase your strength even further.


    Only then will you truly have the capabilities to stand your ground in the Second Rank Star Realm.


    "Venturing into the Star Realm, I can not only make contributions but also earn more wealth," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Life and death tempering will lead to faster growth.


    "Next, I just need to beautifully finish the virtual battle," Li Yuan entered the resting room.


    He sat down in the virtual network capsule.


    Logged into the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    ...


    In the virtual network, within the specially designated competition space of the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan directly entered and materialized in an immensely large battle space. Subconsciously, he looked around and saw that both sides of the spectator stands were filled with endless seas of people.


    There must be millions of them, densely packed and overwhelmingly numerous.


    The noise was deafening.


    "Senior Brother Jin,"


    "Senior Brother Jin is here,"


    "Senior Brother Jin," before Li Yuan could speak, a chorus of voices immediately rang out around him; those sitting beside him were all freshmen from the Sixth Institute.


    "Li Yuan,"


    "It''s Li Yuan,"


    "Li Yuan is here," The shouts here immediately drew the attention of the farther spectator stands, and they all turned to look, all of them students from Kunlun Martial University.


    "Senior Brother Jin, you''ve finally arrived. We''ve been waiting for you," An Nong said with a smile, "The preliminaries have been going on for an hour, and we hadn''t yet seen you. We were worried you had forgotten and were about to send you a message."


    "It''s just the preliminaries; there''s no need to make a fuss," Li Yuan replied with a smile, "How are you guys doing? Did you pass the preliminaries?"


    "I made it through,"


    "I didn''t, just missed by a bit, only over 3000 points,"


    "I passed," The freshmen from the Sixth Institute replied one after another, and from their voices, it seemed that most had made it through the preliminaries.


    To this, Li Yuan was not surprised. Although the freshmen from the Sixth Institute were not as strong as him, on a global scale among peers, they were already in the top one percent.


    Passing the preliminaries was mostly not difficult for them.


    However, according to the traditions of Kunlun Martial University, the preliminaries and the melee matches were not considered part of the main competition.


    It was not until the ''elimination rounds,'' where individual duels took place, that they would be regarded as truly meaningful matches.


    "There''s quite a crowd," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Yes, the rules are similar to the ten-schools contest for newcomers, appearing in the spectator area according to country, university, institute, grade... All the spectating students are in this spectator space," An Nong said with a smile, "Right now, we''ve got over a million viewers."


    "Most people will leave once they pass the preliminaries," An Nong obviously was quite familiar with the rules, "But there are still quite a lot of those remaining, many are also very concerned about who will be the first in the preliminaries and from which country."


    "The first place in the preliminaries?" Li Yuan chuckled.


    Is that title so important?


    He instinctively looked toward ''the leaderboard'' at the highest spot of the battle space, which listed the top 100 scores of the preliminaries:


    1, Shu Hengyu (Xia Country): 96,432 points


    2, Chuanfang Guizi (Sakura Country): 93,444 points


    3, Ovejus Vila (United States): 93,412 points


    ...


    97, Tian Dazhuang (Xia Country): 89,996 points


    ...


    Li Yuan glanced over the top 100, was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and chuckled, "What a bunch of strange names."


    Besides Tian Dazhuang, there were hardly any familiar names.


    Not even two names from the opponents he had faced in the ten-schools contest for newcomers.


    Something isn''t right!!


    "It seems to be as the teacher said, anyone with 4000 points in a single preliminary can pass," Li Yuan thought to himself, "The scores to a certain extent reflect one''s strength."


    "There''s no need to expose myself now and make other strong competitors wary, especially since being first in the melee doesn''t directly lead to a slot in the final rounds," Li Yuan thought as he made up his mind.


    He applied to compete.


    Whoosh! He disappeared onto the platform out of thin air. Experience tales at m v|l e''-NovelFire.net


    "Li Yuan is competing,"


    "He''s gone, he must have gone to compete,"


    "Do you think Li Yuan will give a stunning performance? I''ve heard others say, and Senior Brother Jin mentioned that Li Yuan is likely to make it into the top hundred of the main tournament,"


    "Not sure, I looked up many strong players from last year who didn''t show their strength,"


    "Senior Brother Jin didn''t make it onto the preliminaries'' top hundred either. Senior Brother Jin was in the top hundred during his second year last year; this year he might even break into the top twenty. Judging by his strength, it''s impossible that he can''t make it into the top hundred of the preliminaries," Students from Kunlun Martial University discussed quietly among themselves.


    They all held some expectation in their hearts, hoping that Li Yuan would show his mighty power and make it onto the preliminary ranking list.


    ...


    Within a virtual space,


    Like a vast corridor, Li Yuan appeared out of thin air, holding a long spear.


    "Kill the enemy to score points; the more you kill, the higher the points... The enemies will keep appearing until you are killed or eliminated," the system voice rang out.


    ```

 Chapter 260: Chapter 207: King of the Preliminaries_3

    "The enemy will appear shortly, countdown from 10...1, begin!"


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At the end of the vast corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly erupted; one after another, figures sprang from the darkness, their eyes filled with intent to kill, charging towards Li Yuan.


    "For the preliminary round, one can adjust their Physical Quality voluntarily, I''ve chosen level 20," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "By the looks of it, these opponents seem to be only level 18, and their skills are weak... too weak."


    "Let''s get this over with quickly and not waste time." Li Yuan''s figure flashed, and he lunged forward with great speed.


    He charged straight at those figures, the level 18 Physical Quality increasing their speed.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan suddenly exerted his strength, followed by a myriad of spear shadows blooming, exploding like stars bursting.


    "Pfft!"


    "Pfft!" "Pfft!" It was as if he were reaping wheat. Your journey continues with m v|l--NovelFire.net


    These figures, whether wielding Combat Sabers, Long Spears, or shields, all their bodies exploded, blood splashed everywhere, and none could block Li Yuan.


    Even those with shields were pierced and killed by Li Yuan with a single spear thrust through their shields.


    Utterly ruthless.


    Boom! Li Yuan, like a bolt of lightning, charged to the end of the corridor, waiting for the group of opponents to respawn.


    "Pfft!"


    "Pfft!" Figure after figure fell, and he killed each one as soon as they respawned.


    Before long,


    "Contestant ''Li Yuan'', your score has reached 4,000 Points. Congratulations on passing the virtual combat preliminary," a system prompt suddenly flashed.


    "4,000 Points?" Li Yuan glanced at his score, "That''s enough."


    Phew! With a thought, Li Yuan chose to forfeit, leaving the combat space, and returned to reality.


    He continued practicing with his spear.


    ...


    "The eldest senior brother has logged off."


    "It seems that the eldest senior brother, like Jin Huguo, is planning to burst out later."


    "Mhm, it''s right to hide their strength now." Many newcomers from the Sixth Institute murmured softly amongst themselves.


    ...


    Time ticked away, second by second.


    One contestant after another from around the globe entered the combat space, continuously making their moves.


    Occasionally, the Points leaderboard would refresh, but there was still no high-score players surpassing 100,000 Points.


    It wasn''t until nearly eleven o''clock.


    Whoosh! On the Spectator Platform of the combat space, in an inconspicuous corner, a figure in purple garments suddenly appeared.


    He caught sight of the leaderboard high in the sky at a distance.


    "Hehe."


    "Li Yuan, Yin Man, all of you really look down on the preliminaries, huh? Probably holding back fiercely, for fear that others will know your true strength," the purple-clad youth muttered to himself with a smile, "It''s so late now, these guys should all have made it through."


    "You look down upon it, so let the title of ''Preliminary King'' belong to me.


    "Being the Preliminary King is still being a king!"


    Phew!


    The youth in purple summoned the will to fight and chose to join the battle.


    ... Merely twelve minutes later, within the combat space where the number of contestants had already dwindled to over three hundred thousand, an uproar suddenly erupted.


    "Look at this!"


    "Dantai Feng!"


    "Dantai Feng''s name has shot into the top hundred and is still rapidly climbing," many people noticed the fluctuations on the leaderboard, as well as that name continuing to rise. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Into the top twenty now."


    "He''s climbing too fast, he''s already surpassed 90,000 Points."


    "95,000 Points!!"


    "Into the top ten."


    "First place! He''s first now."


    "He''s surpassed 100,000 Points."


    "200,000 Points!!" Waves of exclamations kept rising.


    Everyone watched, wide-eyed, as Dantai Feng surged to the first place at an astonishing pace, eventually halting at a terrifying score of ''310,000 Points,'' leading the second place by more than 200,000 Points in a cliffhanger.


    Students from Martial Path universities all over the world fell completely silent.


    At this moment, a vast number of students around the globe remembered that name¡ªDantai Feng.

 Chapter 261: Chapter 208: Seventh Star Realm Battlefield (Extra 13, 14)

    When they saw Dantai Feng''s score, the tens of thousands who hadn''t left the competition space''s spectator seats erupted into commotion.

    "Which university from Xia Country does this Dantai Feng belong to? I''ve never heard of him before."


    "He''s too strong."


    "He''s from Starfire University, I heard he''s the top genius in his first year at Xia Country, just a freshman! How fierce!"


    "This is just the preliminary round, and the second place only has a little more than ninety thousand points, yet he''s surged to more than three hundred thousand points, too outrageous, leaving the second place behind by over two hundred thousand points?" Many students exclaimed in admiration.


    "A freshman? The first place in the preliminaries is taken by a freshman from Xia Country? Xia Country truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest nation on Blue Star." S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "During the Ten Schools Freshmen War, Dantai Feng was the absolute first, and now at the Global College Martial Path Competition, he is still the first."


    "He''s really strong." The students from Xia Country, most of them quickly recognized Dantai Feng.


    After the previous Ten Schools Freshmen War, Dantai Feng''s name had already spread across all Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country, and many people knew that Starfire University produced a peerless genius.


    "What about Li Yuan?"


    "During the Ten Schools Freshmen War final, Li Yuan from Kunlun Martial University was only a bit weaker than Dantai Feng."


    "Haven''t seen his name, probably hiding his strength."


    "Hide what strength? Does he think he can challenge for first place? He should take a page out of Dantai Feng''s book and show his face in the preliminaries." Many students from the Martial Arts Universities of Xia Country discussed among themselves.


    The discussion was loud and varied.


    But no matter how people discussed, Dantai Feng had already become famous around the globe with just the preliminaries, and he was about to be remembered by millions of Martial Arts University students worldwide in a very short time.


    ...Swoosh! In a corner of the spectator platform, Dantai Feng appeared out of thin air.


    There were few students from Starfire University, and even fewer who stayed here to watch the excitement, so not many noticed him.


    "Awesome!" Dantai Feng listened to the discussions about him from the surrounding crowd.


    Words like powerful, awesome, and too strong kept reaching his ears.


    The corners of Dantai Feng''s mouth couldn''t help but reveal a smug smile.


    "Li Yuan, Yin Man... hmm, I scored higher in the preliminaries than both of you, which is kind of like beating you both once," Dantai Feng mumbled to himself.


    This was his true nature.


    If Li Yuan focused on empowering himself, indifferent to winning or losing and external criticism, then Dantai Feng liked to show off in front of others, enjoying the praise for being powerful.


    "To live a life where others are unaware of how awesome I am would be so sad," Dantai Feng thought to himself, extremely satisfied: "Today was truly exhilarating, time to go back and train."


    A Martial Artist''s practice is all about having a clear mind.


    Without a doubt, Dantai Feng had always worked hard to clear his mind of dust, which is why his strength had continually grown.


    Whoosh!


    Dantai Feng disappeared from the spectator platform.


    ...


    Higher up in a separate spectator space, within the magnificent circular spectator hall, millions of students were unaware of its existence.


    There were densely packed with over a hundred thousand seats, divided into three sections.


    The furthest section had the most ordinary seats, only slightly larger than those in the students'' spectator space but the most numerous. These were designated for ordinary teachers from the various Martial Arts Universities of Blue Star and peers of similar strength.


    The middle section''s seats were larger, but far fewer in number, only a little over a thousand, reserved for top grade prime warriors who qualified to watch the competition from every nation and school.


    In the area closest to the viewing screen, there were only just over a hundred seats, undoubtedly arranged for the visiting Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, today was only the preliminaries, and not many ordinary teachers were there to watch.


    Flying Heaven Warriors? Not one had come, but Dantai Feng''s performance still shocked the thousands of prime warriors who were present.


    "That kid, he''s from Starfire University, right?"


    "Yes, he''s ours from Starfire University, I even taught him one class before, I had no idea he had secretly reached the fifth stage."


    "First-stage as a freshman? That''s too impressive, he must be the first among his peers."


    "Probably is." These teachers from Martial Arts Universities all over the globe discussed among themselves.


    Perhaps the spectating students didn''t quite understand, but these teachers knew very well.


    In the preliminaries, to reach ninety thousand points meant the skill had reached subtlety.


    To reach a hundred thousand points indicated a fifth-stage skill.


    To reach a million points meant achieving intermediate rank in the fifth stage.


    Dantai Feng, a freshman, had managed to secure three hundred thousand points in the preliminaries, which definitely signified staggering strength.


    "Before, I didn''t pay special attention to the information on Dantai Feng, after all, he had only reached subtlety previously."


    "Send the message back."


    "We need to warn those youngsters to be wary of him." Scores of teachers from various schools immediately transmitted the news of ''Dantai Feng reaching the fifth-stage skill'' to their schools'' elite students for the first time.


    This was of great importance.


    Because in the upcoming battle royale ''Star Realm Battlefield,'' unless one''s strength was colossal, like Li Yuan, Yin Man, or Harmon, nearly invincible in one''s own right, caution was necessary.


    Otherwise, suppose you possess subtlety level skill, originally hopeful of making it into the top hundred.


    But on the Star Realm Battlefield, if you encounter a master of Unity of Heaven and Man whom you don''t recognize and you initiate a fight, leading to be killed.


    Lacking points and getting eliminated directly would be quite the miscarriage of justice.


    When one''s strength is insufficient, intelligence becomes extremely important.


    This is also why so many teachers gathered here, to grasp information first-hand.


    ...


    As the night enveloped the earth, in a villa in Starfire University, within an underground martial arts room.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! A determined-looking young man, wielding a huge cleaver, was constantly battling a training partner, a martial artist, with relentless assaults, his sword techniques forceful and his movements extraordinarily elusive.

 Chapter 262: Chapter 208: Seventh Star Realm Battlefield (Extra 13, 14) _2

    And the Prime Warrior he was fighting, suppressing his own burst of power and speed, continuously defended against the attacks.


    Suddenly.


    "Puff!" The stocky young man suddenly erupted, the might of his combat saber soared immensely, brutally striking the Prime Warrior''s long sword.


    The terrifying force contained in the combat saber burst forth, sweeping across and making the Prime Warrior stagger back in shock, his face reflecting astonishment as he looked at the stocky young man.


    "Little Tian, have you broken through?" The sparring Prime Warrior''s face was filled with joy.


    "Haha, thanks to the teacher," Tian Dazhuang said excitedly, laughing, "Without the teacher''s continuous pressure on me these past days, I would have never broken through so quickly."


    "I''ve finally touched subtlety in spirit," Tian Dazhuang''s eyes gleamed.


    "It has nothing to do with my sparring."


    "I''ve sparred with many students, but how many of them can catch up with you?"


    "It''s your heart," the Prime Warrior teacher clad in black said with a smile, "Your heart is strong enough, undisturbed by external factors, that''s why you are progressing faster and faster."


    "Everyone says Dantai Feng is very strong, but in my view, your talent is not inferior to his; you just didn''t receive the same early training he did," the teacher in black said with a smile.


    "I''m still far from his strength," Tian Dazhuang shook his head.


    "Don''t be in a hurry," the teacher in black said with a smile, "When you entered the school, your skill just barely ranked in the top twenty of your grade, but later you gradually became one of the top ten."


    "As of now, apart from Dantai Feng, you should be the second freshman in our school to have achieved subtlety in spirit. People like Yu Ming, Guan Ying, they are still stuck at the high rank of the Fourth Level."


    "Your progress is getting faster and faster."


    "Given time, you could surpass Dantai Feng," the elder teacher said with a chuckle.

    "Mmm," Tian Dazhuang nodded firmly.


    He, rising all the way from a mountain area, experiencing so much, and if we only talk about the mental tempering of his youth, it''s not inferior to Li Yuan.


    And his comprehension is also extremely astonishing. After entering Starfire University, he finally received the best nurturing, showing sharpness all the way, surpassing one rival after another.


    To have touched subtlety in spirit in just a bit over half a year after entering the university is extremely rare.


    Looking globally, among his peers, he is likely to compete for a place in the top ten or even top five.


    The key is that Tian Dazhuang''s rate of progress is still accelerating.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Tian Dazhuang suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate with astonishment, and couldn''t help but look down at it.


    Immediately, he couldn''t hold back a curse: "Damn! Dantai Feng, that show-off, is showing off again!"


    ...


    "Dantai Feng, truly at the Fifth Stage," The purple-clothed woman, Yin Man, glanced at the message, "Three hundred and ten thousand points?"


    "If that''s his full strength, then it''s not a concern."


    ...


    Starry Sky University, inside a villa.


    "Fifth Stage skill?"


    A white-clothed young man wielding dual swords, looked at the newly received message, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Just a freshman?"


    "I thought that by breaking through to the Fifth Stage skill in my sophomore year, I would be impressive." sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Is it possible that Sakura Country can never defeat Xia Country?" the young man in white said coldly, "No, this time I must break into the top ten or even the top three."


    Bai Chuanming, recognized as the number one talent of his generation in Sakura Country, also carried his nation''s greatest expectations.


    ...


    Ross Country, amidst ice and snow.


    "A freshman at the Fifth Stage, really fierce," A bear-like brawny young man, naked to the waist, was practicing Shield Technique, "Xia Country is truly the number one power in the world, a place where talents emerge in an endless stream."


    "Out of the recent ten virtual battles, Xia Countrymen have taken first place in eight, right?"


    Nevsky, recognized as the top warrior among third-year students in Ross Country.


    Also, in the virtual combat, the only confirmed Fifth Stage expert from Ross Country.


    ...


    Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan''s villa.


    Underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Interesting, very interesting," Li Yuan set down his long spear, looking at the three messages on his hand, and couldn''t help but smile.


    One of the messages was from Li Yang, with information about Dantai Feng, warning Li Yuan to be extra vigilant.


    Another message was from Dantai Feng, "Call me the king of preliminaries... Come to Starfire next time, and Dazhuang and I will treat you to a meal."


    The last one was from Tian Dazhuang, "Li Yuan, keep it up, you must beat that show-off."


    Closing the light screen.


    "I do need to work hard," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile, "I''m improving, but countless geniuses around the globe are also improving."


    Li Yuan never got anxious because his opponents were strong.


    The stronger the opponents, the more geniuses human civilization has given birth to, which is a good thing.


    Besides.


    "Great masters are lonely, as are geniuses," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Having more super geniuses to collide and duel with can also bring out the fullest potential in us."


    Li Yuan calmed his mind and continued patiently training.


    ...


    Dantai Feng''s sudden breakthrough indeed shocked the top talents from around the globe.


    Especially within the three top-tier martial schools, those third-year geniuses still trapped in ''subtlety in spirit'' felt even more embarrassed and began training more madly, hoping to progress further before the real contest.


    To be subtle in spirit and at the Fifth Stage of heaven and man, the gap is astonishing.


    In fact.


    On some level, the Seven Stars human civilization keeps holding contests like these to constantly motivate the geniuses of the entire civilization, telling them not to be complacent.


    You are the top talent of a school?


    You are the top talent of your cohort? Then open your eyes and take a good look, there are always people better than you out there.


    If you don''t strive, you''ll be surpassed.


    ...


    On the morning of February 9, Li Yuan and countless other contestants who passed the preliminaries, all received an official communique.


    Final confirmation.


    About 420,000 contestants passed the preliminaries, meaning that each Star Realm battlefield will have about 42,000 people.

 Chapter 263: Chapter 208: Seventh Star Realm Battlefield (Extra 13, 14) _3

    ```


    "I''m in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the second round of information, which was the Star Realm battlefield he had been assigned.


    "42,000 people."


    "Over six million people registered, and only 420,000 made it through the preliminaries. The elimination rate is really high," Li Yuan thought to himself. "And with more than forty thousand people in each Star Realm battlefield, only the top hundred can advance to the ''Elimination Round.'' That''s crazy enough."


    In the battlefield, a large number of Star Realm Creatures would also appear. Li Yuan could imagine the fighting would be insane when the time came.


    However.


    "Whoosh!" Li Yuan grabbed his long spear, swiftly turning around. "I want to see who can stop me from taking first place in the battlefield."


    ...


    February 10th, 7 p.m. Xia Country time, the highly anticipated virtual battle ''Melee Competition'' was about to begin.


    At 6:40 p.m., Li Yuan did not intentionally delay today but instead entered the combat space early.


    Whoosh! A sea of people.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Big Brother."


    Many people turned to look at Li Yuan, brimming with enthusiasm.


    "It''s quite crowded today," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Looking around, this vast Spectator Space seemed much bigger than it did yesterday.


    "Indeed, there are more." Gu Qianghan said with a laugh. "The number of spectators has already surpassed four million... More than half of the students from Martial Arts Universities all over the world have come to watch."


    "Brother Yuan, which battlefield are you in?" Gu Qianghan asked curiously.


    Many students nearby couldn''t help but turn their attention to Li Yuan.


    "The seventh," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "I''m in the sixth."


    "I''m in the third."


    "Haha, I''m in the same Seventh Star Realm battlefield as Senior Brother," someone said with a broad grin.


    But in reality, everyone present understood that being in the same Star Realm battlefield didn''t matter much.


    With over forty thousand people in each battlefield, the chance of running into each other was very, very low.


    It mainly depended on oneself.


    "Li Yuan." A voice suddenly rang out, followed by a figure flashing over, arriving next to Li Yuan.


    "Senior Brother Jin." Li Yuan said with a smile, looking at the newcomer.


    Suddenly, the others made room for them.


    Almost every student from Kunlun Martial University knew that in this iteration of the virtual battle, the two people before them were the most hopeful candidates from the whole university. Enjoy new adventures from mvl


    One was the former number one talent of Kunlun Martial University, with longer training.


    The other had a shorter training period but rose at an astonishing speed.


    "Do you have the confidence to surpass me?" Jin Huguo said with a smile.


    "I won''t disappoint Senior Brother," Li Yuan replied with a smile. His interactions with Jin Huguo were not many.


    But real kindred spirits don''t need much interaction; they just feel very comfortable when together.


    "Haha, good, I''ll look forward to it," Jin Huguo laughed. "Let''s fight hard together to take first place in our battlefields and make it directly into the finals to bring glory to our university."


    "To bring glory to our university." Li Yuan nodded emphatically.


    The surrounding students from the Sixth Institute were somewhat shocked to hear this. Aiming for first place in the battlefield? Were both of them that formidable?


    ...


    Seconds ticked away, and when the time reached 7:55 p.m...


    Boom!


    A towering figure in black appeared in the center of the combat space, standing aloft.


    "My dear Spectator friends... with over four million people watching, this iteration of the Global Inter-College Martial Arts Championship virtual battle has once again set a new record for the number of spectators," the black-clad host exclaimed. "What we are about to begin is the ''Melee Competition.''"


    "In some ways, it''s a super-sized version of the ''Cage Melee.''"


    "In each battlefield, more than forty thousand competitors will fight one another, with a time limit of four hours or until only one person is left after the elimination."


    "Only the strong will survive until the end."


    "Only the top hundred Martial Path talents who accumulate enough Points will advance to the next ''Elimination Round.''"


    "Now I declare, the Melee Competition¡ªStar Realm battlefield, is about to begin." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "More than 420,000 competitors will soon be transported."


    "Above the combat space, the top hundred Points rankings of each battlefield will appear, along with a total of one hundred broadcast screens, providing live coverage of the exciting contests from each major battlefield... Each spectator will also be able to select any competitor to follow live on their personal screens in front of them, with a maximum of ten concurrent followings."


    "Countdown 10, 9, 8... The Star Realm battlefield, the life-and-death contest, officially begins!!" The host''s voice was filled with vigor.


    Boom!


    The entire combat space erupted with earth-shaking, uplifting music, and the entire space instantly echoed with the excited cheers of millions of spectators, boiling with excitement.


    Almost simultaneously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Over four million spectator platforms began to fade out, with about ten percent disappearing.


    All the competitors who passed the preliminaries had been collectively transported.


    The Melee Competition officially began.


    "Quick, let''s follow the competition."


    "I want to watch Dantai Feng."


    "I want to watch Yin Man."


    "Let''s quickly follow and watch Senior Brother." Instantly, the millions of spectators on the platform began to select their competitors to follow on their personal screens.


    Without a doubt, ''Dantai Feng'' would be one of the observed competitors among spectators from nearly every country.


    In terms of fame, Dantai Feng was currently the biggest name.


    Next were Yin Man and Harmon, both of whom performed exceptionally well last year and were among the favorites to win this year''s championship.


    As for Li Yuan? Many spectators from Xia Country would choose to follow him, followed by those from Sakura Country, Tianzhu Country, the South Asian Alliance, and other regions... In the Martial Arts Universities of these regions, Li Yuan was quite well-known.


    ...


    "It''s started."


    "I wonder how many Fifth Stage masters will emerge this time..."


    In the higher-level Spectator Space, tens of thousands of Prime Warriors from around the world had gathered here.


    This kind of competition was a test of the teaching level of the major Martial Arts Universities.


    Every school took it very seriously.


    "Dean Hai is here too?" Dean Xu looked at the figure seated in the front row, feeling slightly surprised.


    ```

 Chapter 264: Chapter 208: Seventh Star Realm Battlefield (Extra 13, 14) _4

    She and Li Yang were both top grade origin martial artists, seated in the middle area.


    "Definitely," Li Yang chuckled softly, "this year, our Kunlun Martial University has two fifth stage masters, both hoping to break into the global top twenty, naturally, we must take it seriously."


    "Mm-hmm," Dean Xu nodded involuntarily.


    In fact, three flying heaven warriors had come from Kunlun Martial University.


    You should know that so far, the total number of flying heaven warriors from all over the world who had come to watch the battles was just over twenty.


    Flying heaven warriors, in a single province of Xia Country, were like the Seas Calming Divine Needle, very rare.


    But on a global scale, there was still a handful of them.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Without sound or warning, a figure in a black robe appeared in a seat in the front row.


    Immediately.


    Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!


    Martial artists like Dean Hai, who had been in discussion, stood up one after another and respectfully said, "Star Master."


    The voices of the dozens of flying heaven warriors were not loud, but they resounded through the Battle Observation Hall, rendering the entire hall silent as a grave.


    In the middle area, tens of thousands of prime warriors in the back area were immensely shocked as they watched this scene.


    Star Master?


    What Star Master could make dozens of flying heaven warriors salute in unison?


    Many top grade origin martial artists saw it clearly, including the chancellors of Starfire University, Starry Sky University, Black Stone University... All three universities'' chancellors had stood up and respectfully saluted.


    Unfortunately!


    No one could see the face of the figure in the black robe; his entire being seemed shrouded in a layer of fog, only the flying heaven warriors in the front row could see his face clearly.


    "Sit down, everyone, I''m just here to watch the battles," the black-robed Star Master said in a hoarse voice, "no need to be so formal."


    This voice, as if imbued with invisible magic power, immediately dispelled the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the Battle Observation Hall.


    The more than twenty flying heaven warriors all sat back down.


    "Wu Lin," the black-robed Star Master said in a low voice.


    "Hall Master," the middle-aged man in a blue robe sitting beside him immediately leaned forward slightly and responded.


    Many of the top grade origin warriors sitting in the middle felt a wave of shock upon hearing this address.


    Wu Lin, a powerful flying heaven warrior, was also the ''principal'' of Starfire University.


    In all of Blue Star, he was undeniably a high-ranking figure.


    To be addressed as Hall Master by him,


    The identity of the figure in the black robe was now clear ¡ª he was the ''Hall Master'' of the Starfire Martial Hall''s Blue Star headquarters.


    "Switch the viewing target to Xia Country''s Kunlun Martial University student Li Yuan, from the Seventh Star Realm battle zone," the black-robed figure instructed indifferently.


    "Yes," Principal Wu Lin nodded, possessing control over the Battle Observation Hall.


    Instantly.


    Swoosh! The giant ''light screen projection'' in the distance changed from the previous ten random viewing targets to one large light screen projection accompanied by nine smaller ones.


    In the largest projection,

    Over the vast wilderness, with mountains stretching on, a young man holding a long spear appeared.


    The light screen displayed his name and origin: ''Xia Country''s Li Yuan.''


    "Li Yuan."


    "Who is Li Yuan?"


    "Why switch to watching him?"


    "Not sure." Suddenly, a wave of murmuring arose throughout the Battle Observation Hall.


    Tens of thousands of prime warriors from around the world, most of them didn''t recognize Li Yuan.


    In fact, many of the dozens of flying heaven warriors in the front row also didn''t know Li Yuan.


    But now they did, and all turned their attention earnestly to the light screen. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Someone that the Star Master paid such close attention to must have something special about him, the flying heaven warriors believed.


    ...


    Within the Seventh Star Realm battle zone,


    "The Wilderness Star Realm?" Li Yuan observed the desolate plains before him, with what seemed like forests in the extreme distance, several mountain ranges obstructing the view, but he could still see a number of figures flickering.

 Chapter 265: Chapter 209 Sweep Along the Way

    "No, it''s just that this area around me is a wasteland, but overall, the whole battlefield is still a jungle," Li Yuan held the long spear.Standing on this small patch of wasteland.


    The Star Realm battlefield essentially simulates Star Realm terrains, which are divided into many kinds of terrains, such as snowfields, deserts, jungles, wastelands, oceans, and so on.


    Of course, in the real Star Realm, some environments are extremely harsh, making it very difficult for Prime Warriors to survive... The simulation battlefield naturally can''t be that extreme.


    "Limited to four hours."


    "The actual environmental data is actually similar to that of Blue Star," Li Yuan slightly clenched his fist, quickly adapting to his current physical strength. With a thought, he achieved Subtlety: "Strength, speed... indeed, it''s the Fifteenth Level of Physical Quality."


    All contestants have the standard Fifteenth Level of Physical Quality, that is, standard Fist Strength of 12,000 kilograms, Burst Speed of 50 meters per second.


    "Continuous ranges of mountains, this tall, must be to restrict the field of vision," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    In a pure wasteland battlefield, with a Fifteenth Level of Physical Quality, one could easily see more than ten kilometers away. A lot of contestants would discover each other before even getting close and would flee by leaping away.


    Jungle battlefield? Plus so many mountains, there are no such worries.


    "It''s a pity, with the virtual network, the Spiritual Power each person can use is simulated and limited," Li Yuan frowned slightly: "Otherwise, relying on my strong Spiritual Power, the Perception Ability would be much stronger."


    Li Yuan''s peripheral vision caught sight of the smart ring on his hand.


    He touched the light screen, where personal Points and rankings were displayed, as well as a detailed set of rules.


    ¡ª¡ª


    Contestant: Li Yuan (Xia Country)


    Base Points: 200


    Starfield points: 0


    Total Points: 200


    Battlefield Ranking: None


    ¡ª¡ª


    Rules for obtaining base points: Defeat other contestants to obtain 50% of their base points; Starfield points are not obtainable.


    Rules for obtaining Starfield points: Kill Star Realm Creatures of level 15.0-15.9 to obtain 1 Starfield point; kill creatures level 16.0-17.9 to obtain 10 points; kill creatures level 18.0 and above to obtain 100 Starfield points, which remain completely intact even in the event of death.


    Total Points Rule: Base Points + Starfield Points equals Total Points.


    Death Rule: Everyone has only one life. If killed by a Star Realm Creature, both base points and Starfield points remain unchanged, and rankings are preserved; if killed by another contestant, base points are halved while Starfield points remain unchanged, and rankings are preserved.


    Advancement Rules: After the melee round ends, the first in total score advances to the final, ranks 2-100 advance to the third elimination round, anyone ranked after 100 is eliminated.


    Note: The entire battlefield is a circular battlefield with a diameter of about 100 kilometers; as time passes, the battlefield''s range will continually shrink, with minimum battlefield diameter reducing to 10 kilometers.


    ...


    "Interesting."


    "These rules will probably make it hard for many contestants to weigh the pros and cons," Li Yuan revealed a cryptic smile: "Killing Star Realm Creatures earns very low points. One needs to kill a level 18 creature to get 100 points, but for one with Fifteenth Level Physical Quality to challenge a level 18? That''s not something ordinary contestants can do."


    A level 18 Star Realm Creature is three times stronger than a level 15.


    Unless Unity is achieved, making the power and speed surge, even with High Rank Fourth Level techniques, it would be difficult for a Fifteenth Level Physical Quality to win against an 18th Level Star Realm Creature.


    "The advantage is that once Starfield points are obtained, they can never be stripped away. Even if killed by a Star Realm Creature, all points are preserved," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Ultimately, it''s the Points that determine the ranking, not survival.


    If one accumulates enough points early on, there''s a chance of advancing to the elimination round even if one dies early. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Killing other contestants, killing just one contestant brings at least 100 points. And as the contest progresses, the living contestants'' accumulated base points can become even more exaggerated, where killing one could yield tens of thousands of points," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "But the downside is, contestants can''t gauge each other''s strengths, and a slightest mistake could lead to being counter-killed, thus losing half their base points."


    The rules may sound complex.


    But at its core, it''s just two phrases¡ªlow risk low reward; high risk high reward.


    It all depends on the contestants'' personal choices.


    Choice is also a form of mental tempering.


    "Choice?" Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile: "Whether they are contestants or Star Realm Creatures, anything that crosses my path shall be slain."


    "Hmm?" Suddenly, Li Yuan sensed an odd disturbance in the distance.


    Even without great Spiritual Power, his Perception Ability, enhanced by the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, was much stronger than that of an average contestant.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s figure suddenly moved, turning into a streak of shadow, and rushed directly towards the distant wasteland.


    After only seven or eight seconds, he went around a ridge.


    "Hunting Star Realm Creatures?" At a glance, Li Yuan saw a burly man wielding a Combat Saber, fighting a large group of Star Realm Creatures that resembled wild yaks.


    The flash of the saber flickered, one yak after another fell to the ground.


    "A Fourth Level expert?" Li Yuan smirked, his speed unabated, he directly charged towards the burly man.


    "Seeking death!" The burly man was also powerful, he roared.


    He had sensed Li Yuan''s approach early on; with a fierce stomp of his combat boots, he kicked a wild yak to the side and immediately used the momentum to charge at Li Yuan like lightning.


    Whoosh!


    The burly man leaped up, his Combat Saber ferociously chopping down towards Li Yuan, with a saber light so sharp it made the air tremble violently.


    "Pfft!"


    The two figures, one high and one low, crossed each other, a streak of Spear Light flashed by, a head soared high, and a copious amount of blood spurted from the chest cavity.


    Thump~ Thump~


    The headless body fell heavily, followed by the head hitting the ground and rolling, eyes filled with shock and disbelief until death.

 Chapter 266: Chapter 209 Sweep Along the Way_2

    ```He, a fourth-level expert, should have had a chance to break into the top 1000 in the entire battlefield.


    He might even have gone further.


    Yet, he died less than a minute after entering the Star Realm battlefield?


    "Very weak."


    "This kind of battlefield environment does have a certain tempering effect on third or even fourth-level experts, but it''s indeed not very significant for me." Li Yuan killed the opponent with one move, his heart unfazed.


    "Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~" the ground trembled.


    These Star Realm creatures, stepping over the headless corpse, immediately rushed towards Li Yuan in a frenzy.


    Splurt! Swoosh~! Swoosh! Li Yuan waved his long spear in his hand, with spear light dancing, the multitude of Star Realm creatures, that looked like wild yaks, kept on dying as they charged at him.


    They couldn''t even touch Li Yuan.


    "These Star Realm creatures are generally at the initial stage of second-level skills, about the same as the true Alien Race of the Star Realm." Li Yuan assessed the strength of these Star Realm creatures.


    Most of the Star Realm creatures, with low intelligence, largely fight on instinct, and their combat skills are naturally weak.


    In just tens of seconds, the remaining nearly hundred Star Realm creatures were all killed by Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan checked the smart ring on his wrist.


    ----


    Contestant: Li Yuan (Xia Country)


    Base points: 300


    Starfield points: 89


    Total points: 389


    Battlefield ranking: 1834


    ..."To have killed so many in such a short time and only rank a little over a thousand? It seems that right at the start of the competition, there''s already quite a bit of fighting among each other." Li yuan muttered to himself, "However, my goal is to be the first in the battlefield and directly enter the finals."


    "Let''s keep killing."


    ...


    The smart ring provided a rough directional guide.


    Li Yuan casually chose a direction to move forward, quickly leaving the wilderness behind and entering a forested area.


    In the forested terrain, the rocky mountains and tall trees provided excellent cover for concealing one''s tracks.


    Over forty thousand people, scattered across a circular battlefield with a diameter of about 100 kilometers, was actually very sparse; logically, unless a battle erupted, it would be quite difficult to detect each other''s traces.


    Unfortunately, Li Yuan was one of the very few exceptions.


    "Come out." Li Yuan, like a shooting star, suddenly plunged, his long spear hissing as it thrust straight toward a large tree.


    Whoosh! A figure darted from behind the tree, franticly fleeing to one side, his face showing a mix of shock and anger.


    He didn''t recognize Li Yuan, but that didn''t prevent him from judging from Li Yuan''s burst speed¡ªthat this was a super expert.


    Whosh!


    The spear thrust that seemed direct suddenly shifted, lightning-fast circling around the tree, and violently piercing through the fleeing figure''s neck, blood spraying.


    Dead!


    Splurt~! The long spear retracted, and the body heavily fell onto the grass.


    "You must be curious how I discovered you." Li Yuan murmured to himself, "I couldn''t see you, but your breathing gave you away."


    The perception of Unity of Heaven and Man was too keen.


    ...


    In the higher levels of the Spectator Space, with over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors and dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors from around the globe watching,


    Aside from tracking some they ''fancied'', they were also paying attention to the figure of the young man in black on the distant, gigantic screen.


    Li Yuan? S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a Star Master personally descending to watch, what was so special about this Li Yuan?


    And when they saw Li Yuan consecutively find and effortlessly kill one contestant after another, easily wiping out a large number of Star Realm creatures,


    "Fifth level."


    "He must have fifth-level skills."


    "This Li Yuan must have reached the unity of man and heaven at the fifth level, otherwise his perception wouldn''t be so strong, nor his spear technique so formidable."


    "It seems he is a freshman."


    ```


    "Right, a freshman, in the same batch as Dantai Feng," many Prime Warriors¡ªeven Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¡ªwere already discussing in low voices, filled with wonder and shock.


    Martial Artists from the age of 18 often saw their physical quality skyrocket, their foundations constantly improve, and their skill breakthroughs becoming increasingly easier.


    Therefore, reaching the Fifth Stage as a freshman and stepping into the Fifth Stage as a sophomore were completely different concepts.


    The latter is strong too, with the potential to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, a top-tier genius among their peers across Blue Star.


    But the former is absolutely the top-tier genius among their peers, looking across the entire Seven Star Alliance and the Seven Great Planets.


    The emergence of a Dantai Feng among the freshman class had already shaken all Martial Arts Universities around the world, and now another one had popped up?


    "Fifth Stage?"


    "To be on the same level as Dantai Feng? Indeed, a once-in-an-age genius, extremely formidable."


    "However, just based on this, it shouldn''t be worth the Star Master personally coming to watch the melee battle, right? The finals would be more like it." Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors were surprised by Li Yuan''s strength, but they also harbored doubts.


    Whether it was Dantai Feng or Li Yuan, while they had the potential to become top-tier Flying Heaven Warriors, they were ultimately just that¡ªpotentials, still only geniuses.


    But the Star Master was already at the pinnacle of human civilization.


    ...


    The combat space where students from millions of Martial Arts Universities around the world were located was buzzing with voices.


    Everyone was watching tensely, all while keeping an eye on the rankings above.


    "So many talents."


    "I thought our institute''s Senior Brother was awesome, but as soon as he took to the field, he got taken out by a single spear thrust from someone named Li Yuan," complained a student from Europa.


    As spectators, they could see the identity information of the combatants.


    "Strong!"


    "Dantai Feng is truly fierce, taking down any opponent with a single strike, truly deserving of being Xia Country''s strongest genius."


    "Yin Man is also impressive."


    "In the leaderboard of the top hundred from each Star Realm battlefield, our Xia Country''s experts account for more than 30%, and nearly one-third of the broadcast top hundred are from our Xia Country." Students from Xia Country were incredibly excited and exceedingly proud.


    This kind of competition was a time when the sense of honor was extremely strong.


    The hundred screens broadcasting in the entire combat space showed the top ten from each battlefield, and adding up ten battlefields made up the hundred.


    "Haha, our Silla Country''s Han Haochang is really formidable; he''s already made it to ninth in the seventh battlefield," some students from Silla Country were overwhelmingly excited.


    "We believe in Han Haochang, he will surely become the number one on the battlefield! He''ll advance directly to the finals."


    ...


    "Senior Brother is very strong."


    "No one can stop Senior Brother."


    "From what I''ve seen so far, not a single one can withstand a spear from Li Yuan," said the tens of thousands of watching students from Kunlun Martial University, most concerned about Li Yuan, Jin Huguo.


    "Senior Brother Jin has charged to sixth place on the first Star Realm battlefield, Senior Brother Jin is even more fierce."


    "Li Yuan is powerful, but his battlefield ranking is only eighty-sixth, not too high up in front, which is somewhat inferior to Senior Brother Jin."


    "The melee battles have just begun, Li Yuan''s random location was rather far out, encountering fewer opponents, which is why his score isn''t too high."


    "We believe in Senior Brother; he will surely rush into the top twenty or even the top ten later on," discussed the students from Kunlun Martial University.


    The students of Kunlun Martial University basically still thought that Jin Huguo was stronger.


    Even the freshmen from the Sixth Institute subconsciously believed that Li Yuan was slightly inferior.


    It wasn''t without reason!


    The reputation that Jin Huguo had built up before was simply too great, and Li Yuan''s rise to fame was just too short.

    (The following is added after publication, not included in the word count for charging.)


    ps: Regarding merging chapters, I will explain once.


    My daily updates are based on a standard of 3,000 words per chapter.


    For example, if I update three chapters today, I will ensure a total word count of over nine thousand words; if it''s four chapters today, I will make sure that the total is more than twelve thousand words, but the specific word count might be four thousand for one chapter, or less than three thousand for another.


    Like yesterday, including the merged chapters, it was a total of 1.4 ten thousand words.


    Also, why merge chapters? I don''t shy away from admitting that it''s to push for a hundred thousand subscribers. Right now, the average subscription is nearing seventy thousand, and if I update too many chapters in a short time, the average won''t climb.


    In the future, I might merge three into one, or even four into one, or five into one, it''s not impossible.

 Chapter 267: Chapter 210: Breaking into the Top Ten

    The ninth Star Realm battlefield.A handsome young man was frantically fleeing across the continuous mountain tops, his face filled with panic.


    Whoosh! Behind him, a woman in purple with an imposing aura brandished her long sword, relentlessly pursuing him.


    "Damn it."


    "How could I be so unlucky to run into Yin Man, the Great Demon King, so soon?" Gu Qianghan felt like crying; his combat skills were only close to a high-rank Third Stage.


    Passing the preliminary round was very tough for him, so he never dreamt of making it into the elimination round.


    Because of this, he had been ''lying low'' earlier, simply hoping to survive a bit longer and brag about it later to others.


    Unexpectedly, while he was clearly hiding behind a giant rock, Yin Man seemed to have sensed him from afar and charged straight over to kill him.


    "Stop running."


    "Fleeing is futile." Yin Man''s form flashed like lightning, rapidly closing in on Gu Qianghan.


    "Kill!" Gu Qianghan suddenly rolled over, his long spear bursting forth explosively from above his head, furiously thrusting toward the purple figure behind him.


    This spear thrust was as swift as lightning!


    Turnabout Spear!


    "Puchi~" The purple figure slightly shifted and easily dodged the spear, her sword flashed, and a head flew into the air.


    Gu Qianghan, dead!


    The corpse fell heavily to the ground.


    "Only 100 points? Such a newbie, never killed even one opponent."


    "Next." Yin Man moved, continuing to fly swiftly toward the distance, never taking this inconspicuous fellow seriously from start to finish.


    ...


    Above the spectator platform of the great tournament space.


    Swish! Gu Qianghan appeared out of thin air, his face still showing a trace of fright.


    That sword strike was too fast and too fierce, absolutely the most stunning he had ever seen.


    "Gu Qiang, you failed too?" A voice that took delight in his misfortune reached Gu Qianghan''s ear.


    "Hmph!" Gu Qianghan snorted coldly: "An Nong, I was eliminated after you."


    "So what?" An Nong said with a grin: "Don''t think I don''t know; I''ve been following and watching your fight all this time. Just like me, you didn''t kill anyone before getting instantly killed."


    "Damn." Gu Qianghan cursed with a laugh.


    "How''s Brother Yuan doing?" Gu Qianghan asked straightaway.


    "He hasn''t broken into the top hundred of the battlefield yet, but he''s close," replied An Nong, pointing to his own subjective combat screen. "Our eldest apprentice brother''s ranking is steadily climbing."


    "Well, I hope Brother Yuan can make it into the top ten of the battlefield," said Gu Qianghan.


    Time passed, and more and more contestants were eliminated.


    After being eliminated, most would return to their spectator seats to continue watching the competition.


    ...


    Inside the battlefield of the Seventh Star Realm, in an area to the east.


    Boom! Boom!


    In the valley between two mountain ranges.


    More than ten contestants were joining forces to attack a large number of Star Realm Creatures resembling Moon Demon wolves at levels 15 and 16.


    They cooperated with each other, causing one giant wolf after another to fall, leaving carcasses scattered everywhere. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Contestants who passed the preliminary round had skills at least at the Intermediate Rank Third Stage, and it was fairly easy for them to fight against level 16 Star Realm Creatures alone, not to mention now that over ten people were working together, making their combined strength even more formidable.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh! A figure in black clothing suddenly swooped down from high in the valley.


    His speed was astonishing, easily soaring over 50 meters per second.


    To know, a martial artist''s maximum burst speed on flat ground compared to their traveling speed in mountainous and valley terrain is absolutely a different story.


    "Someone''s coming?"


    "They''re coming for us." The more than ten contestants collaborating to hunt the creatures immediately noticed the figure in black clothing.


    "Friend, we just want to join forces for self-preservation, killing Star Realm Creatures for points, and we don''t wish to engage with you," shouted the leader, clad in purple Combat Armor, after he sliced a giant wolf dead, his voice booming with a hint of threat as he watched the black figure diving down.


    However.


    "Boom!" The plunging black figure said nothing, speeding up even more instead.


    "Seeking death!"


    "Kill! We don''t believe we can''t kill him with so many of us." The figure in purple Combat Armor became furious.


    Whoosh! He sprang into the air, Combat Saber in hand, and charged to meet the attack.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill him!" The more than ten contestants originally fighting the Star Realm Creatures immediately let go of the giant wolves and rushed over to join the fight.


    Teaming up was a normal strategy.


    This was tacitly permitted by the higher-ups of the Seven Star Alliance.


    In such chaotic Star Realm battlefields, if you had strong organizational abilities to rally hundreds or even thousands to join forces, that was also considered skill.


    However, since only one hundred could advance to the elimination round, contestants usually formed small groups of a few or perhaps a dozen at most.


    It was rare to have hundreds joining forces; it was meaningless.


    In the blink of an eye, the two sides drew near.


    "Boom!"


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!" Figures intermingled, the black figure''s form flickering as he easily dodged an onslaught of weapon strikes, following which his long spear erupted violently, creating a myriad of spear shadows.


    Plop! Plop! Plop! Blood sprayed, and figures dropped one by one.


    In a single encounter, six contestants, all struck in the neck by the spear, were killed.


    Their bodies tumbled onto the ground.


    Cutting down enemies like mowing grass.


    "Thinking you could fight me instead of running at first sight." Li Yuan''s expression was indifferent; his speed not diminished at all.


    He set his gaze on the remaining eight figures and suddenly flashed a brilliant smile: "Aren''t you running yet?"


    "Run."


    "He''s a master of Subtlety."


    "Run." The remaining eight contestants had completely lost their minds, each of them turning to flee.


    The extraordinarily capable young man clad in purple Combat Armor, whom they regarded as powerful, was instantly killed by a single spear thrust?


    They instantly considered Li Yuan to be a master of Subtlety.


    Such masters were very rare in any Star Realm battlefield and definitely counted as great experts.


    "Haha, running now, isn''t it a bit late?"


    Whoosh! Li Yuan''s form flashed like lightning, chasing and killing some of the contestants. In his Unity of Heaven and Man state, his speed was much faster than theirs.

 Chapter 268: Chapter 210: Breaking into the Top Ten_2

    One figure after another fell.Li Yuan''s points were soaring.


    His ranking on the battlefield was skyrocketing.


    ...


    On the spectator platform of the tournament space,


    "Senior brother is now ranked 62nd," An Nong said excitedly, suddenly slapping Gu Qianghan on the shoulder, "Old Gu, see, I told you senior brother would burst forth."


    "It''s 48th now!!" Gu Qianghan''s eyes also shone brightly, "Brother Yuan is amazing."


    "Damn, in one encounter, six combatants all died, up to 37th now!!" Many students from Kunlun Martial University who hadn''t been able to participate in the battle and had been continuously following Li Yuan''s progress were now ecstatic.


    It was too brutal.


    From their spectator view, Li Yuan was killing everyone he met.


    No matter whether they were teamed up or not, no matter the number of people, or whether they were experts or not.


    One word, kill! Kill them all! An insane frenzy! His ranking was exploding.


    "Li Yuan."


    "He''s so badass, already breaking into the top forty, and he''s only a freshman,"


    "Though he''s not as fierce as Dantai Feng, he''s still impressive."


    "He''s just a freshman, and already so powerful, maybe next year as a sophomore he could even rush into the top ten in the finals," many students from Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country, especially the freshmen, were also paying attention to Li Yuan.


    In the previous top ten freshman battle, Li Yuan''s performance was already fierce.


    "Li Yuan."


    Situated in the Jiangbei Martial University''s viewing area, Li Tianyou was also staring at the screen, inwardly shocked, "No wonder Professor Ming said, looking globally, Li Yuan has the prospect of breaking into the top hundred."


    "It looks like, Li Yuan has grown much stronger since the top ten freshman battle,"


    ...


    In the battlefield of the Seventh Star Realm,


    midway up a high mountain, the booming waterfall constantly fell into a deep pool downwind, churning up countless waves.


    On the cliff, a fierce fight was erupting.


    A blond young man wielding a battle axe and a dark-skinned young man with a combat saber were teaming up to attack a spirited young woman wielding twin swords.


    The intense fight between the three figures, with terrifying power bursting forth, caused huge boulders to fly up. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Guan Ying, just give up."


    "You already lost to me in the last top ten freshman battle, this time you''re still going to lose," the dark-skinned young man said firmly, his twin sabers flowing endlessly like water, displaying incredible toughness,


    keeping Guan Ying from breaking free.


    "Face me one-on-one if you dare," Guan Ying gritted her teeth, she was nearly going crazy with rage.


    During the top ten freshman battle, she lost to Vikram, which was embarrassing enough.


    Unexpectedly, in the global college Martial Arts tournament virtual battle, she once again faced Vikram.


    Worse, he even brought along an axe technique expert.


    "Starfire University''s junior sister, admit defeat," the blond young man shouted angrily, his battle axe suddenly exploded with speed, becoming significantly faster, with its power growing increasingly terrifying.


    "Suppress!" Vikram''s saber technique also grew increasingly swift.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" The three exchanged blows like lightning, and Guan Ying managed to withstand dozens more moves.


    "Boom~" Suddenly an axe swept by, carrying formidable force and heavily slashing down, Guan Ying could no longer resist, and the long swords in her hands were thrown up in the air.


    "Thud!"


    A sudden strike of the saber streaked past, directly across her neck, and she fell heavily to the ground.


    Starfire University''s martial arts prodigy, Guan Ying, was defeated.


    Quiet returned to the cliff.


    "Malfoy, thank you," Vikram sheathed his sabers and smiled, "I''ve obtained over six thousand points, which lets me quickly approach the top twenty."


    "It doesn''t make much difference," the blond young man Malfoy replied indifferently, "We''ve already rushed into the top thirty, just surviving till the end will let us enter the knockout round."


    "Yeah, with our strength, when together, as long as we don''t encounter some of the freakishly top-tier competitors, sweeping through the entire Star Realm battlefield shouldn''t be an issue," Vikram grinned.


    "Yeah," Malfoy nodded, "Let''s go."


    The two turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the forest.


    ...


    "Guan Ying actually lost."


    "Last time she lost to Vikram, and now she''s lost again." Your journey continues at mvl


    "This is so disappointing," because of the top ten freshman battle, Guan Ying''s reputation was much higher than that of the average Starfire University student.


    Additionally, with Guan Ying''s high ranking, many Xia Country students on the spectator platform of the tournament space were paying attention to this fight.


    "One-on-one, Guan Ying might not necessarily lose."


    "But that Malfoy is a top-notch expert from Europa and a student from Black Stone University... It''s pretty normal for them to team up and defeat Guan Ying," most Xia Country students were still quite rational.


    ..."Haha, we won!"


    "Vikram won, he''s killed that Xia Country girl twice now, truly an elite among Tianzhu Country''s young generation."


    "I''ve always felt Vikram could rival Kunale and Raja in the future; after all, he''s only a freshman," the students from Tianzhu Country watching the battle were extremely excited.


    Suddenly.


    "Look quickly."


    "Vikram and Malfoy are about to encounter Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan? Is that the same Li Yuan from Xia Country who defeated Garava in the last top ten freshman battle?" Many students from Tianzhu immediately took notice of this scene.


    ...


    "Li Yuan! Li Yuan has run into Malfoy and Vikram."


    "Both Malfoy and Vikram are top thirty ranked powerhouses on the battlefield, and according to ranking, Li Yuan seems to be significantly lower." Many students from Xia Country also paid attention to this battle.


    ...


    "Senior brother."


    "Two against one, just now Guan Ying lost, can senior brother win?"


    "With Li Yuan''s strength, he should be able to win, right?" Many students from Kunlun Martial University were also watching this battle intently, their eyes glued to their screens.


    Actually, most spectators, limited by their vision, couldn''t really tell whether a competitor had achieved Subtlety or Unity of Heaven and Man.


    They mostly judged strength based on the point ranking.


    For many students, both Malfoy and Vikram had a higher point ranking than Li Yuan, and they were teaming up... so naturally, Li Yuan was in danger.

    But mere seconds later,"The eldest senior brother has taken the initiative to kill." Find your next read on mvl


    "Li Yuan is so fierce."


    "Vikram has fled! He and Malfoy have directly escaped." A series of astonished and shocked cries erupted from the Spectator Platform.


    ...


    Inside the battlefield of the Seventh Star Realm,


    within the mountain woods,


    "Vikram, why run?" Li Yuan laughed heartily.


    His figure flickered like lightning, his speed astonishing as he chased after the fleeing Malfoy and Vikram.


    "You are at the Subtlety Stage; if I don''t run, am I waiting to die?" Vikram gritted his teeth.


    He had witnessed Li Yuan''s duel with Dantai Feng at the tournament for new students from ten schools.


    Malfoy, at his side, was equally shocked; he had previously known little about Li Yuan.


    But just from the speed Li Yuan had demonstrated, Malfoy could tell that Li Yuan was terrifyingly strong,


    absolutely towering over both of them.


    "Li Yuan, how about sparing us? I am willing to give you the information on Fifth Stage experts I know so that you can avoid them," Vikram said anxiously, not wanting to die at that moment.


    Although he was among the top twenty or so now,


    once dead, he would lose half his base points.


    Ultimately, it was very probable that he would drop out of the top one hundred in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield and be directly eliminated.


    "Avoid?"


    Li Yuan laughed, "Why would I need to avoid? On the contrary, I hope the Fifth Stage experts will come to me."


    "It saves time."


    The expressions on Vikram and Malfoy''s faces changed, they had seen arrogance, but never to this extent.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan finally closed in, his terrifying aura making Malfoy''s heart tremble with fear.


    "Vikram, we have to fight with everything we''ve got." Malfoy suddenly bellowed: "If we don''t fight, we''re all going to die."


    "Kill!" Vikram clenched his teeth, continuing to be pursued with such overpowering momentum,


    left them no hope of surviving,


    A desperate struggle might just save them.


    "So you''ve reached the Subtlety Stage? I don''t believe you can be that strong." A hint of madness flashed in Vikram''s eyes.


    He suddenly turned around, S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    followed by layers of blade light that erupted suddenly, pouring toward Li Yuan who was in hot pursuit.


    "Hah!" Malfoy also let out an angry shout, swinging his great axe with the force of thunder, turning around and striking directly at Li Yuan.


    Both mighty warriors burst forth simultaneously.


    "That''s more like it," Li Yuan grinned.


    "Swish! Swish!" In the instant Vikram erupted, Li Yuan had already approached at great speed, followed by an explosive launch of his spear.


    Li Yuan''s spear, shooting out after yet arriving first!


    Even faster!


    Two streams of Spear Light glided across the Vast Sky, so fast it was unbelievable, instilling an involuntary fear in the eyes of Malfoy and Vikram.


    Danger!


    Extreme danger!


    "Pfft!" "Puff!" The two flashes of Spear Light disappeared as quickly as they had appeared, penetrating straight through the necks of Malfoy and Vikram.


    Thump~ Thump~


    Two bodies fell to the ground.


    Malfoy and Vikram, dead!


    "Impressive."


    "Two working together forced me to use two spears," Li Yuan muttered to himself, walking forward with large strides: "Hmm, the two of you have contributed over thirty thousand points to me."


    "I''ve finally broken into the top ten of the battlefield points."


    ...


    "What?"


    "Vikram and Malfoy were killed in a single encounter?"


    "Is this Li Yuan really that strong?" A vast number of students watching the battle from Tianzhu Country and Europa were dumbfounded.


    ...


    "Awesome!"


    "Li Yuan, impressive!!" In the Xia Country''s viewing area, there was a wave of excitement.


    ...


    In the grand tournament space, the number of spectators had already exceeded 5 million.


    At the highest point, one of the hundred projected screens suddenly flickered and changed to Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan from Xia Country! He''s now seventh in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, surpassing Han Haochang."


    "He''s even more formidable than our Silla Country''s Han Haochang?"


    "Seventh place, Li Yuan." Immediately, a multitude of viewers from around the world noticed the ranking change on the grand tournament space above.


    Being in the top ten in the Star Realm battlefield versus the top hundred was an entirely different concept.

 Chapter 274: Chapter 212: The Edge of that Axe

    ```Watching the frenzied slaughter between Harmon, wielding his combat saber, on the projection screen, hundreds of spectators in the competition space held their breath.


    The saber is known as the "guts of all weapons."


    In a sense, it''s because close combat with a saber is the most insane and brutal, far from the gentlemanly elegance of long spears and swords.


    Especially at this moment, when both fighters are Fifth Stage experts, resembling War Gods, their clash is a true combination of violence and art that makes one''s blood boil with excitement.


    "Jin Huguo is at a disadvantage,"


    "Senior Brother Jin is in trouble," the students from Kunlun Martial University watched with extreme nervousness, silently praying.


    Even though Li Yuan had shown Fifth Stage strength, reigning almost invincible on the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, subconsciously, most students from Kunlun Martial University still believed Jin Huguo was a notch stronger and the biggest hope of Kunlun Martial University in this virtual fight.


    "That Harmon is so strong; the number one talent from the United States?"


    "Hang in there, Jin Huguo," millions of Xia Country''s spectators also stared intently, hoping for a miracle to happen.


    In a sense, this is a battle for glory.


    In this global competition, each participant represents not only themselves but also their school and their country.


    Everyone hopes that the Martial Path geniuses from their country can be invincible on the battlefield.


    "How can Harmon be so strong and not yet have killed this Xia Country man?"


    "Is this Jin Huguo really that strong?" A great number of spectators from the United States and Europa were paying close attention.


    Harmon''s fame in the United States and Europa is very great, and many students admire him a lot.


    The fact that Jin Huguo has been able to fight Harmon for this long has already exceeded many people''s expectations.


    Suddenly.


    "Harmon is going to win," a spectator from the United States brightened up and shouted loudly.


    "Senior Brother Jin is in danger,"


    "Be careful, Jin Huguo!" millions of Xia Country''s spectators cried out in alarm, reaching the peak of nervousness.


    ...


    On the First Star Realm battlefield, atop the continuous and vast mountain ranges.


    "Whoosh!""Whoosh!""Whoosh!" A series of terrifying saber techniques erupted from Harmon, who had completely entered the Unity of Heaven and Man state. Each strike seemed divinely assisted, incredibly powerful, and completely overwhelmed Jin Huguo.


    When Jin Huguo''s arms went numb and blood began to ooze from his tiger''s mouth, just as he seemed unable to hold on any longer,


    "Let''s die together!" Jin Huguo suddenly roared angrily. His figure rushed forward to meet the incoming overhead strike, his combat saber ready for a straight thrust.


    As if vowing to fight to the death.


    "You die," Harmon''s face twisted ferociously. He was taller, his combat saber was bigger and heavier, and he didn''t dodge at all. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The saber was as quick as lightning.


    "Thrust~" Jin Huguo narrowly dodged the direct attack, but then a slash of saber light mercilessly chopped down on his shoulder, his arm flew off, and blood spurted.


    However, just as his arm was brutally severed,


    Whoosh~ Jin Huguo''s combat saber flew from his hand like a lightning bolt, soaring out like a thrown weapon.


    At such a close distance!! Harmon had no means of evasion.


    "Thud~" The formidable saber plunged directly into Harmon''s abdomen following the gaps in his armor, instantly causing blood to splatter everywhere.


    "Boom~"


    Another flash of saber light streaked like lightning; Jin Huguo''s body was torn, and he died.


    "Huff!"


    Harmon took a deep breath, looked down at his wound where the big saber was deeply embedded in his organs, blood gushing profusely, feeling his life rapidly slipping away.


    Looking at Jin Huguo''s body, now torn apart,


    "Metal," Harmon said solemnly, muttering to himself, " I underestimated you."


    "Your strength has indeed become terrifying."


    "If we fight again, I definitely won''t take you lightly," Harmon thought to himself.


    The Star Realm battlefield is a complete simulation of reality.


    Therefore, once injured, one can''t recover quickly.


    Especially with an injury like Harmon''s, continuing on would lead to certain death.


    Even if he only had the physical quality of a level 15, even a Prime Warrior would die without treatment.


    Just seconds later,


    A huge level 16 Star Realm Creature swooped by and charged at Harmon with a roar.


    Even with severe injuries, Harmon should have no problem avoiding it with the strength he had left.


    But Harmon allowed the massive Star Realm Creature to charge at him, and he died instantly.


    Being killed by a Star Realm Creature, all his base points and Starfield points were preserved, keeping his total points unchanged.


    After all.


    On the First Star Realm battlefield, Harmon''s total points were still in first place, far ahead of the second place.


    Meanwhile, Jin Huguo had dropped to sixth place, but with less than an hour left in the melee, securing a position in the top hundred with his remaining points was not difficult. Experience more on §Þ??


    ...


    This battle deeply shook millions of spectators; no one expected the fight to be so fierce.


    Jin Huguo was killed first.


    Harmon was also seriously injured by Jin Huguo''s last counterattack and ended up allowing himself to be killed by a Star Realm Creature.


    In a sense, both sides could be considered to have died together.


    "Harmon almost lost to that Xia Country man,"


    "That Xia Country man wasn''t noticeable before, but he has such terrifying strength. With Yin Man, Dantai Feng, Li Yuan, Zhu Tong... My goodness! Can Harmon emerge victorious against their siege and take first place?" Spectators from the United States and Europa felt a bit panicked.


    Just one Jin Huguo was so formidable, what about Xia Country''s other top masters?


    "It''s a pity for Jin Huguo; he was so close to having a chance to kill Harmon,"


    "It''s quite a pity," the majority of Xia Country''s spectators felt regret, but most of them were still quite rational.


    Before the duel, most people felt Harmon was likely a bit stronger.

 Chapter 275: Chapter 212: The Edge of that Axe_2

    Jin Huguo being able to fight to this extent with his opponent had already exceeded the expectations of most people....


    In the higher-level Spectator Space.


    "Jin Huguo lost," Li Yang sighed.


    "There''s nothing to be done. In previous predictions, Harmon was expected to challenge for the top spot," Dean Xu said calmly, "For Jin Huguo to severely injure Harmon, forcing him to withdraw from the competition, is already quite an achievement."


    "Hmm." S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yang nodded and continued to watch the screen, "It''s up to Li Yuan now. There''s a high probability that he and Hoffman will have a battle."


    "I expect they will, the system will guide them subtly," said Dean Xu, "These Fifth Stage elites, by the last phase of the melee, will mostly seek each other out for duels."


    Having been deans for decades, they were very aware of some of the underlying rules of virtual combat.


    What''s the purpose of the great tournament? Firstly, it is to select the top elite fighters fairly and justly, which is why those at the Fifth Stage are not directly sent to the finals.


    This is a rule set by Dongfang Ji.


    Whenever huge rewards are involved, if protection is possible, there''s a possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation.


    An open tournament aims to avoid unfairness as much as possible.


    Just like the college entrance exam, unless granted a special exemption by the Star Master, everyone must pass the exam to enter various levels of Martial Arts Universities. Read exclusive content at §Þ??


    Secondly, it is to temper and make many top talents compete against each other.


    The confrontation of talents is not only a stimulus for them but also for countless ordinary spectators.


    Therefore, often during the melee phase.


    Once a Star Realm battlefield has several Fifth Stage elites, it mostly leads to battles among those at the Fifth Stage.


    This kind of highly-watched showdown and private sparring provides a completely different form of mental tempering for the contestants.


    ...


    Time passed, and the battlefield area began to shrink further.


    From a diameter of 50 kilometers, it gradually reduced to 30 kilometers.


    The surviving contestants, many of them, began another round of large-scale fighting as they collided with each other in motion.


    ...


    When the time reached 11:25 PM, at the Spectator Platform belonging to Starry Sky University.


    Whoosh! A figure in a fiery red robe appeared out of nowhere.


    "Yue Yue sister."


    A crisp voice sounded next to her, it was Wu Dongdong, who couldn''t help but say, "You''re really unlucky; you just ran into Yin Man. Otherwise, you would have had a good chance of making it into the top hundred."


    The fiery red-robed figure was none other than Lin Lanyue, who also participated in the tournament along with Wu Dongdong.


    Before the tournament, Lin Lanyue had even communicated with Li Yuan a couple of times.


    "It doesn''t make much difference," Lin Lanyue said with a light smile, "With my current skills barely into the Fourth Level high rank, even with good luck, I would have just barely broken into the top hundred... In the elimination matches, I was destined to be eliminated."


    "Hmm," Wu Dongdong nodded slightly.


    In a melee, some luck is involved... but in the elimination round, with 990 people fighting for only ten final spots, each person must go through at least eight rounds of battle, leaving almost no factor of luck.


    "How about the others?" Lin Lanyue smiled.


    "I know who you want to see," Wu Dongdong said with a smile, "Your brother was eliminated much faster than I, and as for Li Yuan... his strength is even more terrifying than during the newcomer battle of the ten schools, and he''s now a Fifth Stage elite, probably no weaker than Dantai Feng."


    "Has he reached Unity of Heaven and Man at the Fifth Stage?" Lin Lanyue''s eyes lit up.


    She could only see Li Yuan''s score soaring on the leaderboard while on the battlefield, unable to see the specific details of the battles.


    Before this, despite her multiple communications with Li Yuan, she was not aware that he had reached Unity of Heaven and Man.


    "Wow, sister, look quickly," Wu Dongdong suddenly pointed at a huge screen rapidly enlarging above the tournament space, "Dantai Feng, he''s run into Nevsky from Ross Country."


    "The two are going to fight," Wu Dongdong said excitedly, "I wonder if Dantai Feng can win."


    "Dantai Feng? Nevsky?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help but raise her head to look.


    ...


    At that moment, it wasn''t just Wu Dongdong and Lin Lanyue.


    In the entire tournament space, almost all the spectators couldn''t help but turn their attention to the rapidly enlarging screen.


    And the two elites who were already engaged in fierce battle.


    Dantai Feng, the king of the preliminaries, an unparalleled genius of Xia Country in his freshman year, even with Li Yuan''s rise had still not completely shaken his position, most people still considered Dantai Feng stronger.


    After all, the title of the king of the preliminaries was significant.


    And Dantai Feng had once defeated Li Yuan.


    His opponent, Nevsky, as the ''strongest elite'' emerging from Ross Country in this tournament, was also extremely formidable, recognized as the number one talent of Ross Country, also a Fifth Stage elite.


    This battle, a clash at the Fifth Stage.


    Them being respectively the first and second in points in the battlefields of the Tenth Star Realm.


    Such a duel, in terms of attention and anticipation, was even beyond the battle between Harmon and Jin Huguo.


    ...On an ice field in the Tenth Star Realm battlefield.


    "Dantai Feng," Nevsky held a Battle Axe, his swings causing Dantai Feng to retreat repeatedly.


    His hair was messy, and he stood over two meters and twenty centimeters tall, burly and robust, and though he was just a young man in his early twenties, he gave off the impression of a man in his thirties or forties.


    "Nevsky, leave me some face," Dantai Feng growled in a low voice, "There must be millions of people watching us fight."


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The two exchanged blows like lightning, with Dantai Feng''s sword and shield working in tandem, time and again blocking Nevsky''s battle axe chops.


    The axe was too heavy.


    Chop, more ferocious than the sword!


    Blocking, as solid as a shield.


    The weakness of the axe was its slowness, but at this moment, the axe in Nevsky''s hands was even faster than Dantai Feng''s sword, completely suppressing him.


    "Whether a million people are watching or ten million," Nevsky said with a chuckle, "if you can defeat me, you will shine brilliantly."


    "Bring out all your strength, beat me."


    "Otherwise, you are about to lose," Nevsky said, his composure unmatched.


    "Damn it!"


    "I''m going all out." A trace of madness flashed in Dantai Feng''s eyes; he liked to show off in front of others, but deep down, he was also a bit mad.


    Boom!


    All of a sudden, Dantai Feng burst forth, casting aside his shield. His body almost appeared distorted as his speed surged eerily and he lunged at Nevsky with murderous intent.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Sword light surged like a tide, swift as lightning.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang!" "Clang!" A hint of seriousness swept over Nevsky''s face as he hurriedly swung his battle axe like a colossal shield to block.


    But Dantai Feng, now going all out, focused entirely on his sword, was utterly insane.


    "Faster! Faster! Even faster!" Dantai Feng murmured, pushing his vigor to the extreme.


    His combat saber viciously chopped down.


    Each strike was quicker than the last.


    The terrifying sword lights nearly engulfed Nevsky, almost reversing the tide of the battle.


    In that moment, Dantai Feng felt his spirit reaching a new pinnacle.


    "Kill!" Nevsky bellowed, finally catching a slight flaw in the transition of Dantai Feng''s sword technique. Blocking one strike with his battle axe, he suddenly reversed the weapon.


    And chopped fiercely!


    Swoosh!


    This sudden strike caused Nevsky''s presence and aura to skyrocket, resembling a War God splitting mountains and rivers, his howl sending Dantai Feng flying backwards.


    Boom! Nevsky pressed the attack, his figure flickering to keep up, and struck down with another vicious axe blow.


    "Clang!"


    Dantai Feng met the axe with his sword, barely blocking it, but was sent flying once more.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" Nine consecutive strikes, each a horrid collision.


    Having thrown away his shield, Dantai Feng could no longer hold out.


    Accompanying the final terrifying axe light, he was chopped down.


    "Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank, it''s Intermediate Rank!" Dantai Feng stared at the axe descending furiously, roaring in his heart.


    Spurt~


    The axe passed through!


    Dantai Feng died in battle, his blood staining the icy plains red, bringing silence back to the expanse.


    "He''s quite formidable," thought the burly man, Nevsky to himself. "I wanted to save my burst for the final round, against Yin Man or Harmon. I didn''t expect a freshman to push me so hard that I had to unleash ''Thousand Axe Combo,'' which I had only recently mastered. One must never underestimate anyone."


    After calming his inner turmoil, Nevsky continued across the ice plain.


    ...


    When Nevsky unleashed his power, he displayed terrifying strength that made countless spectators tremble.


    "Dantai Feng lost?"


    "Nevsky is too powerful."


    "Why do I feel like Nevsky is stronger than Yin Man, Li Yuan, Harmon, and all of them?" a chorus of discussions filled the competition space.


    In contrast to the brutal battle between Harmon and Jin Huguo,


    Dantai Feng, despite displaying amazing strength, lost decisively in a head-on onslaught from Nevsky.


    ...


    The battleground of the Seventh Star Realm.


    "Senior Brother Jin lost before, and now Dantai Feng has lost too?" Li Yuan glanced at his smart ring; although he couldn''t see the details of the duel,


    nor communicate with the outside world,


    he could tell who won based on the dramatic changes in points between Dantai Feng and Nevsky.


    "Hoffman, where are you?" Li Yuan walked through mountain gorges, searching for traces of the other.


    Along the way, any Star Realm Creatures or participants he encountered, he pursued and killed, sweeping all before him.


    Li Yuan''s points kept climbing.

    Time passed, and it came to 11:30 PM.In each Star Realm''s battle zone, the area had gradually shrunken to the smallest range, that is, a maximum diameter of 10 kilometers, with the combat range only one percent of the original.


    The entire melee had entered its final climax, with repeated bursts of intense fighting.


    In fact, on each battlefield now, there were mostly fewer than a thousand people alive, either being extremely powerful masters, such as those with Subtlety in their minds.


    Or even¡ªFifth Stage masters.


    Or, it was some of the low-key participants with weak abilities and low rankings, who managed to survive to the last phase through cautious tactics.


    In such a real battle, playing it safe wasn''t necessarily wrong.


    One might be able to catch others off-guard, kill some injured masters by luck, and even make it into the top hundred of the battlefield.


    Similarly, it was also up to the top geniuses themselves to choose whether to risk fighting life-and-death battles with other super masters for a shot at first place in the battlefield.


    Or to play it safe until the end and compete for one of the ten additional spots in the elimination rounds.


    In the eyes of the higher-ups of the civilizations, such a competition schedule seemed not entirely fair, but the different outcomes resulting from each participant''s autonomous choices were also a challenge for their spirits.


    Without a doubt, some of the most top-tier geniuses remained overwhelmingly strong.


    Quickly, another Fifth Stage masters'' duel erupted.


    "Zhu Tong is fighting Kunale, Kunale is the number one genius of Tianzhu Country, and Zhu Tong is also renowned, both of them being juniors at Starfire University."


    "They are classmates, but also competitors."


    "The fight is so fierce."


    "Not good!"


    "He lost; Zhu Tong actually lost, Kunale''s hammer technique is really sophisticated."


    "Haha, Kunale is really impressive, managing to defeat Xia Country''s Fifth Stage master." Cheers erupted from the nearly one million spectators of Tianzhu Country on the Spectator Platform, filled with excitement.


    Correspondingly, the atmosphere among the millions of Xia Country''s spectators was much more subdued.


    Many spectators were displeased.


    In an extremely short period, five duels between Fifth Stage masters had broken out across the top ten Star Realms'' battlefields, with three involving Xia Country''s geniuses, all of whom lost.


    Jin Huguo, Dantai Feng, Zhu Tong, all successively lost their Fifth Stage duels.


    "Three consecutive top-level confrontations, and we haven''t won a single one?" Many Xia Country spectators felt frustrated.


    "Are we going to lose the championship this time?"


    "Think about it from another angle; Dantai Feng is just a freshman and being able to compete with the top third-year students from other countries is already quite an achievement."


    "Xia Country has the most Fifth Stage masters."


    "Look at United States, Ross Country, Tianzhu Country, so far, they have only revealed two Fifth Stage masters." sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What about us? Plus Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Yu Mingwei, who still haven''t shown their full potential, there are a total of six Fifth Stage masters, which is one-third of the total." Many Xia Country spectators were whispering to each other, harboring some discontent in their hearts.


    "We are, after all, Blue Star''s strongest nation, isn''t one-third our due share?"


    "There haven''t been any new Fifth Stage masters popping up in Yin Man''s Star Realm, so a Fifth Stage battle probably won''t break out."


    "Li Yuan and Yu Mingwei, both, might engage in fierce battles with other Fifth Stage masters." As time went on, the spectators'' expectations began to shift, becoming more stable.


    They wished to witness the clashes of top masters even more.


    Just like the spectators from Xia Country, almost all of them were closely following Li Yuan and Yu Mingwei.


    Other countries'' spectators did the same, and without realizing it, the number following Li Yuan had already surpassed three million.


    ...


    "Senior Brother Teng Qing lost and died directly in battle."


    "Senior Sister Guan Shuyun didn''t die, but she was also injured in this melee. Her Points are gradually falling out of the top ten, but stabilizing within the top hundred shouldn''t be a problem." In Kunlun Martial University''s student spectating area, everyone was discussing.


    Following the elimination of one genius after another from Kunlun Martial University.


    Li Yuan, without anyone noticing, became the brightest surviving genius from Kunlun Martial University in the melee, and the only one still in the top ten of the battlefield.


    Suddenly.


    "They''ve encountered each other! Li Yuan and Hoffman have met; the big battle is about to start."


    "Both parties have already spotted each other." A large number of Kunlun Martial University students noticed this scene, their hearts racing.


    Another battle between Fifth Stage fighters was about to erupt.


    One of them, was Kunlun Martial University''s brightest talent in decades, ''Li Yuan''.


    "Senior Brother Jin, who do you think will win?" someone asked impatiently.


    "Win?" Jin Huguo had returned to the Spectator Platform, and he gazed at the two figures on the huge screen in the sky: "Hoffman has a renowned reputation, second only to Harmon in United States, and having broken through early, should be stronger than Li Yuan, given that Li Yuan''s breakthrough didn''t exceed three months...


    but Li Yuan is best known for creating miracles, perhaps, he can create another one this time."


    ...


    "Dazhuang, who do you think will win?" Dantai Feng also sat in the spectators'' seats, watching the two about to clash. Your journey continues at §Þ??


    "I hope Li Yuan wins," Tian Dazhuang said logically, "but by common sense, Hoffman should be stronger."


    "Hoffman is as good as dead," Dantai Feng said with a laugh.


    "Why?" Tian Dazhuang was puzzled; he was unaware that Li Yuan had been confirmed for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance quota.


    "Because Li Yuan previously lost to me," Dantai Feng stated matter-of-factly, "So, as long as Li Yuan beats Hoffman, it''s as if I defeated Hoffman."


    "That''s why Hoffman is as good as dead," Dantai Feng concluded with an air of certainty.


    "Come on, what kind of logic is that."


    ...


    "They''ve encountered each other, both parties are getting closer; this will be Xia Country''s fourth Fifth Stage duel in the melee."

 Chapter 277: Chapter 213: Clash of the Titans! The Strongest on the Battlefield! (Extra 17)_2

    ```"Can he win?"


    "Li Yuan has been showing strong strength; he swept through other experts with ease before."


    "Last time, Li Yuan lost to Dantai Feng in the ten schools'' new student battles, and since Dantai Feng has already died in battle... I always feel it''s a bit uncertain, Yin Man is still the most reliable." Spectators from Xia Country all looked up at the huge screen, their confidence somewhat lacking.


    No way around it, Li Yuan''s fame wasn''t big enough before, and he was so young.


    ...


    "Hoffman should be able to win."


    "Hoffman has broken through a long time ago, Li Yuan only reached subtlety of the mind three months ago, he probably just stepped into the Fifth Stage, he''s already quite monstrous."


    "Li Yuan has a very small chance of winning." This is the common thought among the vast majority of global participants. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Li Yuan against other Fourth Level participants, naturally, he wins easily, but facing the powerful Hoffman, he will definitely lose." Stay connected through M V L


    "Hoffman can match Harmon, and since Harmon defeated Jin Huguo, Hoffman can defeat Li Yuan," audiences from the United States and Europa were fervent.


    Previously, Harmon defeated Jin Huguo.


    Now, naturally, they hope Hoffman can continue this victor!


    ...


    In a higher Spectator Space.


    "Li Yuan is about to face Hoffman."


    "This is Li Yuan''s first battle against a Fifth Stage." Over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors are fixated on this battle.


    Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors are also paying close attention, wanting to understand why the Star Master pays so much attention to Li Yuan.


    Perhaps the answer can be found in this Fifth Stage battle.


    ...


    The outside world was watching with bated breath.


    But in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, Li Yuan and Hoffman were obviously not so conscious of it.


    Although they encountered each other early, they still stood a hundred meters apart, observing each other, trying to catch a glimpse of the other''s weaknesses.


    A Fifth Stage duel is naturally cautious.


    "Li Yuan, I didn''t expect my first Fifth Stage opponent would be you," Hoffman said with a smile, "It seems you haven''t been a Fifth Stage for long, you won''t be my match."


    "Is being older something to be proud of? If I were your age, I would''ve gone to Feixing already, I wouldn''t even participate in the Blue Star Competition." Li Yuan shrugged, nonchalantly.


    Hoffman''s face changed slightly.


    The global college martial arts competition, colloquially known as the ''Blue Star Competition,'' is limited to within Blue Star.


    In fact, once selected for the Martial God Inheritance, they would no longer participate in the Blue Star Competition, mostly only joining the human martial path elite battles, which are contests between top talents from multiple editions across the Seven Great Planets.


    "Hmph, then let me see just how strong you, the Xia Country genius, are," Hoffman said with a cold look, "Hope you don''t disappoint me."


    "That''s what I should be saying to you," Li Yuan smiled, "After all, I am the first on the battlefield, you are only the second."


    "Hope you''re not too weak," Li Yuan said calmly.


    Hoffman was about to continue talking.


    "Stop the nonsense." Li Yuan suddenly shouted, turning into a streak of light as he charged over.


    Li Yuan''s speed instantly accelerated to nearly 80 meters per second.


    A full-force burst.


    "So fast." Hoffman''s face turned serious, they both had comparable Physical Quality, and the differences in power and speed they could unleash was entirely due to their stages.


    The higher the stage, the stronger the extraction of body strength.


    After the Fifth Stage Skill, the body gradually merges with the heaven and earth, the strength seems no stronger, but the air resistance encountered sharply reduces, hence the demonstrated speed also becomes more exaggerated.


    "Shoo~"


    The Long Spear became like a dragon, Li Yuan charged explosively, a Straight Thrust shot out like lightning.


    A Central Thrust! The simplest Spear Technique, yet it contained the most terrifying power.


    Simplicity is the ultimate strength.


    "Whish!" Hoffman instantly brought out his knife, its light incredibly fast, suddenly touching the tip of the Long Spear, a terrifying power burst from the blade, making the spear tip deviate instantly.


    "Huff!"


    As if anticipating, Li Yuan''s Long Spear trembled at the moment it moved, creating a sky full of spear shadows and stabbing downward as he followed through, while Hoffman immediately retreated backward with a ghost-like speed.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan pressed forward, his Long Spear howling, chasing and thrusting rapidly.


    A terrifying force erupted, causing rocks along the path to shatter and even the ground cracked open.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    "Boom! Boom, boom!" Successive terrifying confrontations, Li Yuan completely dominated, his Long Spear swirling like rolling stars crushing down, whether thrusting straight, furiously slashing, or sweeping, completely overwhelming Hoffman.


    For a time, their fierce battle was incredibly intense.


    "So fierce,"


    "His spear is completely different from other Spear Technique experts I have seen, rolling in overwhelming layers, truly dominating, not at all like someone who just entered the Fifth Stage." Hoffman struggled to defend.


    He had to admit, just after a few dozen exchanges, in head-on clashes, he was already being pressed down by Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan''s Spear was very dominating.


    ...


    "Wow! Li Yuan is so dominant."


    "I need to change my attitude, this year''s freshman, the most dazzling isn''t Dantai Feng, it''s Li Yuan!!"


    "Hoffman has a reputation, yet he''s being pressed down to fight by Li Yuan? Truly frightening."


    "Li Yuan''s Spear Technique is fierce, is this his true strength? I like it!" Over a million Xia Country spectators were incredibly excited, many couldn''t help but stand up.


    "What a dominating Spear Technique, the Meaning of the Stellar! Truly, the spear as stars." Jin Huguo''s eyes shone: "Junior Brother Li Yuan''s strength, indeed, is stronger than mine."


    ... "Haha, I said Hoffman was no match for Li Yuan," Dantai Feng said indifferently, "It''s just a bit of a pity."


    "A pity what?" Tian Dazhuang was taken by surprise.


    "It''s such a momentous occasion, and yet it wasn''t me making it happen," Dantai Feng expressed his regret.


    ...


    "Why is Hoffman so weak?"


    "Or is it that Li Yuan is too strong?" Spectators from the United States felt uncomfortable and more worried.


    ```

 Chapter 278: Chapter 213: Clash of the Titans! The Strongest on the Battlefield! (Extra 17)_3

    Hoffman talked a big game, so why is he not delivering?...


    "Relying only on a saber, I can''t defeat him; my momentum is dwindling," Hoffman said, his gaze ice-cold.


    In a clash between experts, momentum is incredibly important, and sometimes it''s all about pressing the advantage.


    That''s what they mean by overpowering an opponent with momentum.


    "The way this is going, I will undoubtedly lose."


    "I have no choice but to burst out," Hoffman''s eyes flashed with ferocity," I had planned to save this for the finals, but I''ll use you for practice."


    He hadn''t taken Li Yuan very seriously before, thinking that Li Yuan had just broken through to the Fifth Stage not long ago and could be easily defeated.


    After all, for martial path geniuses like them, even with astounding comprehension, being able to break through from the Initial Rank to the Intermediate Rank within a year of reaching the Fifth Stage was already impressive.


    And what of someone who had just broken through to the Fifth Stage?


    But with Li Yuan going all out, his strength surpassed Hoffman''s expectations, feeling no weaker than Harmon, and perhaps even more ferocious and violent. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh!


    Hoffman leaped high into the air once again, and then the combat saber in his hand suddenly flew out, shooting towards Li Yuan like a massive concealed weapon at a speed close to the speed of sound.


    "Clang!" Li Yuan''s long spear vibrated and deflected the flying saber to one side.


    A hint of confusion flickered through Li Yuan''s mind.


    What was Hoffman doing? He threw away his weapon?


    "Haha, Li Yuan, very good." As Hoffman stepped back, he drew two curved sabers from behind his back, smaller and more agile than before.


    He landed on a huge boulder.


    "I had planned to save this for the finals, but your strength is worth my full effort," Hoffman''s eyes shone brightly, "I will use my greatest strength to defeat you."


    Boom!


    Hoffman shot forward like lightning, approaching Li Yuan in a gust of wind, with two silver lights whistling towards him.


    "Clang!" "Clang!"


    "Clang!" Li Yuan countered attack with attack, his long spear shifting agilely, blocking each curved saber strike in a flash of lightning.


    The sword technique was continuous and astonishingly fast.


    If Hoffman''s single saber had simply been fierce before, then his current pair of curved sabers...each individually was not as intimidating as the single saber, but in combination, their power multiplied exponentially.


    And his movement technique had significantly changed, becoming more agile and unpredictable, completely surpassing Li Yuan''s.


    "Such a ghostly movement technique."


    "Such fast twin curved sabers, this is definitely his preferred way of fighting," Li Yuan felt incredibly pressured, as he was completely dominated for the moment. Your journey continues at M V L


    A Fifth Stage expert could quickly adapt to any weapon and reach the Fifth Stage standard, hence they didn''t have any clear weaknesses.


    But that''s just it¡ªthey had no weaknesses.


    Each Fifth Stage expert had their strongest points and weapons of choice... When using these weapons, they could unleash their full potential, increasing the synergy of their moves with the world and making their power even more terrifying.


    And Hoffman was doing just that.


    In this head-to-head battle, Li Yuan was completely overwhelmed; his spear was longer, but his speed was much slower compared to Hoffman.


    "Clang!"


    One curved saber hooked the long spear as his ghostly figure closed in, the other curved saber whooshing, trying to sweep past Li Yuan''s neck.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan retreated rapidly like lightning, pulling back with his spear, but the curved saber still grazed his shoulder.


    "Rip~" It left a shocking gash, blood spattering.


    With a thought, Li Yuan''s muscles tightened, immediately stopping the flow of blood.


    "Li Yuan, just give up," Hoffman''s eyes were filled with excitement," You can''t withstand my attacks."


    "Really?" Despite his injury, Li Yuan showed no panic, his fighting spirit sky-high, his eyes brimming with excitement," Before the tournament, I had always wondered if anyone could force me to reveal my strongest state. Hoffman, you''re the first."


    "It''s really great."


    "The purpose of the tournament is to converse with the powerful and refine oneself," Li Yuan said with a grin, his long spear at an angle," Come on, attack again, let me test your attacks once more."


    "Playing tricks." Hoffman snorted coldly, obviously unfazed by Li Yuan''s words.


    Boom!


    Separated by only a few dozen meters, Hoffman shot forward in less than a second, bearing down on Li Yuan with a roar.


    Two dazzling arcs of saber light sliced through the vast sky.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" The spear light blossomed, whooshing forward, easily blocking the two saber lights'' assault.


    "Ha!" Hoffman roared, his form twisting as the saber light became blurred, his whole being seeming to meld into the world itself, his curved sabers slashing at Li Yuan with full force.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom! Clang!" With each collision, the situation completely changed, but regardless of how furiously Hoffman attacked, Li Yuan''s body erupted with dazzling spear light.


    The spear light shone like stars, blocking Hoffman''s strikes time after time, unmovable as a mountain.


    Impregnable.


    "How can his defense suddenly become this strong?" Hoffman could hardly believe it; he had attacked with all his might, yet he couldn''t shake Li Yuan.


    Of course, with Li Yuan focusing entirely on defense and changing his spear technique radically, he also couldn''t pose a threat to Hoffman.


    ...


    "It''s so exciting."


    "This battle is far fiercer than any of the previous Fifth Stage battles," remarked millions of spectators in the tournament space, holding their breath.


    At first, when both sides exchanged blows, Li Yuan had the upper hand; then, as Hoffman burst forth, Li Yuan was pushed into a disadvantage.


    Eventually, Li Yuan finally revealed his strongest defensive stance, effortlessly parrying Hoffman''s offense.


    However, it seemed that Li Yuan could only defend and had difficulty in landing a killing strike on Hoffman.


    ...


    "Li Yuan''s realm seems to be higher."


    "Yes, to comprehend the Meaning of the Stellar to such a degree and be just a step away from the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, Li Yuan is stronger than Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, and Harmon. Impressive."

 Chapter 279: Chapter 213: Clash of the Titans! The Strongest on the Battlefield! (Extra 17)_4

    "Li Yuan is good at defense.""If it were a tournament with a need to determine a winner, then Hoffman would undoubtedly lose... But this is a melee battle, while Li Yuan can easily defend, he can''t force Hoffman into a fight to the death," observed those Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher-level Spectator Space easily identifying this fact.


    Their realms were too high, at least at the Fifth Stage Perfection skill level.


    They could tell that Li Yuan''s realm was somewhat superior, but his strength lay in defense, without a fundamental difference from Hoffman.


    "This battle looks like it''s going to end in a draw," Dean Xu murmured quietly.


    "That''s enough," Li Yang was extremely satisfied, smiling and saying, "How long has Li Yuan just stepped into the Fifth Stage? In less than two months, he''s already reached the limit of the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage."


    "With such strong defense, he can already aim for the top ten, or even top five," Li Yang''s eyes shone brightly.


    The power Li Yuan revealed was stronger than he had expected.


    "Hmm, strong defense gives a significant advantage during the final tournament battles," Dean Xu couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    ...


    In the continuous mountain forests of the Seventh Star Realm battlefield.


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and Hoffman were still fighting fiercely.


    The terrifying aftershocks of their battle resonated for several kilometers around, even attracting other still-alive contestants on the battlefield, but upon seeing the combatants, no one dared to approach.


    They all stayed at least seven or eight hundred meters away to watch the battle.


    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Hoffman''s Sword Technique flowed like water, tilting onto Li Yuan''s Spear Technique defense circle time after time, but each time it was in vain.


    Yet, he continued his fierce attacks.


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan was fully defending, interpreting the core mystery of the Stellar Spear Technique, ''Stellar Illumination,'' to its utmost extent.


    As if he were a star himself!


    He stood unshakable on the earth.


    Gradually, Li Yuan felt a strange fluctuation.


    "Stellar Illumination, Illumination!"


    "The Meaning of the Stellar, like faint rays of light that blossom, when the glow congregates, it''s like the stars." Li Yuan executed his Spear Technique time after time, clashing madly with Hoffman,


    and such a fierce battle with a high-level opponent of the same rank was something Li Yuan hadn''t experienced in a long time.


    Hoffman''s Sword Technique provoked thought after thought about past practices of Li Yuan''s Spear Technique.


    "Starlight!"


    "Brightness!" Li Yuan finally caught the fleeting inspiration in his heart, fully understanding the key to the third layer of the ''Meaning of the Stellar'': ''Galactic Convergence.''


    Suddenly,


    "Boom!" The Long Spear in Li Yuan''s hand suddenly transformed, the Spear Light flickered, becoming even more dazzling, like streaks of galaxies crossing the sky, from one wisp of starlight to the next.


    The Meaning of the Stellar¡ªGalaxy!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The terrible Spear Technique burst forth, one thrust after another, like a reversing galaxy, with boundless might, instantly switching from defense to offense, fiercely assaulting Hoffman.


    "Clang!"


    The first clash changed Hoffman''s expression; he could clearly feel that Li Yuan''s Spear Technique had changed, become faster, and contained greater might... This was a clear Transformation. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Followed by the second thrust, the third, the fourth... The terrifying might within the Spear Technique completely crushed him.


    The two were no longer on the same level.


    "Retreat!"


    "Escape!" The thought flashed through Hoffman''s mind as he tried to flee far away.


    He had already abandoned the idea of killing Li Yuan.

    Boom!


    But as he retreated, Li Yuan''s Burst Speed was even faster, his figure darting forward, speed soaring past 80 meters per second, as the Long Spear whooshed in for another Straight Thrust.


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! After several lightning-fast collisions,


    "Rip!" A thrust passed by, Hoffman''s arm was blown off, blood splattered.


    Whoosh~


    Another thrust came like lightning.


    "Pfft!"


    The spear tip directly passed through Hoffman''s neck, gone in a flash before blood even had time to flow.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan had already darted dozens of meters away, stopping briefly before directly heading into the distance.


    The outcome was decided!


    Meanwhile, Hoffman tried to grasp his own neck, but blood spilled, his mouth opened, but no sound came out.


    Clang~ Clang~ The last knife fell to the ground.


    Thump~


    Hoffman''s body fell heavily to the ground!


    This battle ended with Li Yuan''s victory, and also announced the birth of the strongest in the Seventh Star Realm.


    ...


    "A spear as grand as the galaxy!"


    "This! This is unbelievable!"


    "He''s just a freshman, right? And probably only eighteen and a half years old? His Spear Technique has already reached this level?"


    "Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage!! A freshman has achieved this level?" Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors and thousands of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists from around the globe in that higher-level Spectator Space were astonished.

 Chapter 280: Chapter 214: The Schools Expectations (Extra 18)

    If the initial clash between Li Yuan and Hoffman only made these Flying Heaven Warriors and Top Grade Origin Martial Artists raise their eyebrows without too much surprise,then when they saw Li Yuan unleash the ''Milky Way Convergence'' True Intent of Spear Technique and easily defeat Hoffman,


    including dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors, everyone in this higher-tier Spectator Space was amazed and even shocked.


    Technique advancement becomes increasingly difficult the further one progresses.


    Yin Man, Harmon, Hoffman, Jin Huguo, Kunale, and others who could be considered top geniuses of Blue Star¡ªordinarily, Blue Star would produce only ten to twenty such geniuses a year.


    Most of them only need a little over a year to advance from intial entry into the Fourth Level to achieving Subtlety in the spirit. Read exclusive adventures at M V L


    And from spiritual Subtlety to the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage?


    With their higher Physical Quality and average spiritual power reaching above level 20, most of them also require over a year.


    How about progressing from the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage to breaking through to the Intermediate Rank? The pace would be even slower.


    After all, Initial Rank Fifth Stage techniques are already sufficient to establish one as a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    Then moving on to the Fifth Stage High Rank, Fifth Stage Perfection... each step forward, the difficulty increases exponentially.


    Under normal circumstances, for these top geniuses of Blue Star, being able to reach Fifth Stage Perfect Skill within the next ten years (before the age of 30), the baseline for becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior... would be considered a great success.


    Even many will be stuck at the Fifth Stage High Rank.


    Progressing in skill is not something that can be achieved just by spending time on it.


    Many so-called Martial Path geniuses hit a limit at some point and often find themselves unable to break through the bottleneck, because those bottlenecks are usually their talent bottlenecks as well.


    From the Fifth Stage to the Sixth Stage? It''s as difficult as reaching for the heavens.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors, as dazzling in their youth as Harmon and the others, achieving Fifth Stage Perfection as Prime Warriors, still could not break through the Sixth Stage techniques even after their transformation into the Flying Heaven Level souls upon entering the Flying Heaven Realm.

    Many Flying Heaven Warriors in human civilization haven''t even reached Sixth Stage technique standards.


    What about Li Yuan? How old is he really?


    "It''s rare enough for Yin Man and Harmon to have reached the Fifth Stage in their sophomore year, with maybe one or two appearing in the Blue Star competition each year, and some years not even one."


    "Someone like Dantai Feng, we might see emerge from Blue Star only every few years, and that''s quite remarkable."


    "Li Yuan is even more monstrous. He''s younger than Dantai Feng and progressing even faster. It''s been what, just three months since he achieved spiritual Subtlety? That''s too fast."


    "Could he be at the same genius level as Fang Hai?"


    "I feel he''s stronger than Yu Jinghe!"


    "Yu Jinghe''s performance in the Blue Star competition years ago was only slightly better than Dantai Feng''s, but not by this much."


    "Xia Country, is it about to produce another Star Master?"


    "Become a Star Master? I doubt it!" Many Flying Heaven Warriors could not help but discuss and even argue among themselves.


    In the face of Dantai Feng, they could still maintain a somewhat condescending attitude, quite composed.


    But Li Yuan? Too monstrous.


    Achieving the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage in his freshman year, since the establishment of the Martial Path entrance exam on Blue Star, there have been very few with such accomplishments.


    "No wonder the Star Master came to watch Li Yuan."


    "The Star Master indeed has foresight." Many Flying Heaven Warriors couldn''t help but look towards the figure in black.


    Suddenly.


    Buzz~ The mysterious figure in black sitting in the seat vanished into thin air.


    Clearly, he had seen what he wanted to in this melee.


    "Heh heh."


    "Gentlemen." Dean Hai smiled faintly: "He is a student I have taught."


    "Old Hai, you''ve hit the jackpot!"


    "What dumb luck."


    "I have to go back and check why we at Starry Sky University didn''t recruit him." the other Flying Heaven Warriors couldn''t help but tease.


    They were the backbone of humanity''s defense, and although they nominally belonged to different countries and powers, most had good relations with each other, many even being close as life-and-death comrades.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors were well aware that, when facing Alien Civilizations, they had only one label on them¡ªhumans of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    ...


    "Real dog luck."


    Li Yang, listening to Dean Hai boast, couldn''t help but mutter under his breath, "His teaching? What did he teach? Wasn''t it us who toiled in sparring?"


    "He just spends his days fishing by the lake." Li Yang kept on complaining.


    "If you have such a big complaint, should I go and report it to Dean Hai?" Dean Xu said with a smile.


    "There''s no need for that, sis." Li Yang laughed: "Complaints aside, all in jest, I won''t joke about my future."


    Dean Xu shook her head with a smile, understanding Li Yang''s character.


    "Li Yuan''s Spear Technique is indeed terrifying." Dean Xu looked at the screen showing Li Yuan and couldn''t help but remark, "At the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, even for someone with a Flying Heaven Level soul, this progress is too fast."


    "Indeed, it''s ridiculously fast." Li Yang couldn''t help but add.


    A Flying Heaven Level soul? That''s just an aid.


    The key lies in Li Yuan''s own astonishing Comprehension Transformation.


    "With such speed in progression, I''d believe it if he surpasses us next year." Li Yang said.


    Dean Xu slightly nodded.


    The two of them were both at the Fifth Stage High Rank skill.


    Merely in terms of skill level, compared to the current Li Yuan, they already had no overwhelming advantage.


    "Can he challenge for first place?" Dean Xu''s eyes held a flicker of light.


    "Hard to say." Li Yang shook his head slightly: "So far, Nevsky of Ross Country has revealed Fifth Stage Intermediate strength...Harmon, Yin Man, a few others, might have broken through, or perhaps not."


    "We can only say, Li Yuan has a good chance," Li Yang said: "After all, there are still ten days until the finals."


    "With Li Yuan''s rate of progress, ten days might be worth several months to the others."


    Both harbored a trace of anticipation.


    The champion of virtual combat?

 Chapter 281: Chapter 214: The Schools Expectations (Additional 18)_2

    Since 2009, the champion of the Global University Martial Path Competition Virtual Battle has always cycled among the top martial arts schools like Starry Sky University, Starfire University, and Black Stone University.If Kunlun Martial University could win this year, it would be the first time in the history of the school.


    ...


    In the competition space, those millions of spectators had completely erupted.


    "We won!"


    "Not only did Li Yuan block Hoffman''s attack, but he also counter-killed on the back foot? His spear technique at the end was so powerful."


    "When they were exchanging blows earlier, Hoffman was able to suppress him, and Li Yuan was only defending, but then he suddenly burst through and killed Hoffman."


    "With Hoffman''s strength, even if he couldn''t win, it shouldn''t have been difficult for him to flee, but Li Yuan''s burst speed at the end, the data shows it surpassed 80 meters per second, which is almost close to a regular 18th Stage Martial Artist."


    "Fierce."


    "Hoffman, that''s a Fifth Stage High Rank expert on par with Harmon." Numerous spectators discussed fervently.


    The previous several Fifth Stage battles, although they had determined winners and losers,


    were mostly hard-fought victories.


    The only one that could be mentioned in the same breath as Li Yuan''s fight was Nevsky''s victory over Dantai Feng, where Nevsky also claimed a very easy win.


    But after all, Dantai Feng was still a freshman, his reputation might seem big, but in the hearts of most competitors, he was not as intimidating as Hoffman.


    Before this, many had pegged ''Hoffman'' as a shoo-in for the top ten, with hopes for the top three or even first place.


    Yet now, he was easily slain by Li Yuan.


    How strong must Li Yuan be?


    ...


    "Junior Brother Li Yuan, there''s hope for you to vie for the first place," Jin Huguo''s eyes sparkled: "Impressive! Being able to do this as a freshman!"


    Jin Huguo had great admiration for Li Yuan in his heart.


    ...


    "Vie for first place? Is Li Yuan that strong?" Tian Dazhuang, shocked by Dantai Feng''s words, asked, "Is he even stronger than Senior Sister Yin Man?"


    Yin Man had a very big reputation within Starfire University.


    "Hard to say."


    "Yin Man is quite strong, but she may not have reached the Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage," Dantai Feng said: "And even if she is at the Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage, so what?"


    Dantai Feng shrugged: "To go from Intermediate Rank to High Rank of the Fifth Stage normally takes several years, what difference does a few months earlier make?"


    "There are still ten days until the finals, who knows how much Li Yuan will improve by then?" Dantai Feng said.


    Tian Dazhuang nodded in agreement.


    What made Li Yuan most thrilling was his astonishing rate of progress.


    Other people slowed down as they progressed, often hitting a plateau.


    But Li Yuan? The further he went, the more exaggerated his progress, the faster his pace and the more dazzling his performance.


    Suddenly.


    "I suddenly hope I don''t get sent to Feixing this year," Dantai Feng sighed.


    "What''s wrong now?" Tian Dazhuang was puzzled.


    "If I don''t go to Feixing this year and Li Yuan does, he won''t be able to participate in the Blue Star competition next year," Dantai Feng''s eyes gleamed: "While I continue to compete."


    "When I win the championship as a sophomore, I''ll probably shine just as brightly."


    Tian Dazhuang was stunned.


    ...


    "Is that Li Yuan?"


    "No wonder he was directly awarded the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot." The tall Zhu Tong stared at the figure on the screen: "Indeed very strong."


    "Stronger than me!"


    ...


    "You''re leaving now? Isn''t there still ten minutes left?" Wu Dongdong asked, perplexed.


    "It''s pointless."


    "No one in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield can shake Li Yuan''s position now," Lin Lanyue said with a smile: "I should go and see Brother Yuan, prepare for the trip to the Fierce Feather Star Realm." sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Are you preparing to go now? Isn''t it a bit early?" Wu Dongdong couldn''t help but say.


    "My physical quality has already reached the 15th Stage, meeting the standard," Lin Lanyue said: "The earlier I go, the better."


    "Then, be safe," Wu Dongdong sighed.


    She knew that Lin Lanyue carried great expectations and had a very tough journey ahead.


    ...


    Inside the Seventh Star Realm battlefield.


    Whoosh!


    Having killed Hoffman, Li Yuan did not linger long and swiftly left the wooded area.


    He then found a high mountain, sat down cross-legged on a giant boulder, and placed his long spear beside him.


    This made Li Yuan very conspicuous, after all the battlefield was only so big now.


    But in the past three hours, Li Yuan had been killing frantically; hundreds of competitors died by his hands.


    It could be said that the competing survivors on the battlefield basically all recognized him.


    "The last ten minutes."


    "There''s no need to continue killing," Li Yuan''s heart gradually calmed down as he silently pondered, "I just didn''t expect that in such a great battle, I would gradually step into the intermediate rank of the Fifth Stage."


    Breaking through during a great battle was very common.


    In a state of extreme mental excitement, walking on the edge of life and death, a person''s potential could be maximally stimulated... Although the effects of virtual combat weren''t as good as real combat, the tension and excitement exceeded that of normal real combat training because it involved spots in the competition.


    If Li Yuan had trained normally, it might have taken him one or two months to break the bottleneck.


    "Hoffman has a huge reputation and is identified in the intelligence reports as someone who can rush into the top ten," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Judging from our exchange of blows, his skill level should be around 20% of the Fifth Stage."


    "What about me now?" Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    One of the lines read:


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 30%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 30%)


    "Is that enough to rush for first place?" Li Yuan pondered to himself: "In the next ten days, keep practicing the spear, and strive to leave no regrets in the finals."


    On the leaderboard of the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, Li Yuan was already far ahead with the highest points.


    ...Time passed by minute by minute.


    The remaining survivors on the battlefield became increasingly frantic.


    "Stop running and fight me with all your strength, only by winning is there hope of rushing into the top hundred," one competitor shouted as they chased another, cursing at each other.


    The experts ranked in the top hundred were hunting other competitors to secure their positions, while being extremely cautious to avoid being targeted by a surprise attack.


    Those close to the top hundred were desperate, trying to make the most of the last moments.


    However.


    In the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, no one dared to provoke the figure in black clothes with closed eyes sitting on the huge rock.


    Finally, the time reached midnight.


    Hum~


    An invisible wave swept across, and the consciousnesses of all the surviving competitors in the ten Star Realms simultaneously left their bodies.


    The melee competition had ended, and Li Yuan was no different.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan was back in the competition space, looking out over a sea of people, all of them shouting excitedly.


    The melee had concluded, and tomorrow would bring an even more brutal ''elimination round.''


    But none of this mattered to Li Yuan anymore.


    "Congratulations Li Yuan, you ranked first in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield and will directly pass the elimination round to enter the finals," the system prompt sounded in Li Yuan''s ear, "The final twenty to ten will take place on February 18th at 8:00 PM."


    ...


    "First place!"


    "Brother Yuan, you''re amazing, first place in the battlefield!"


    "Senior Brother, making it to the finals as a freshman, this is history for Kunlun Martial University."


    "The finals! Senior Brother, we all look forward to you winning the championship!!" Tens of thousands of Kunlun Martial University students cheered around Li Yuan at that moment.


    Li Yuan watched all this, feeling the excitement of his classmates and friends, and showed a faint smile. Stay connected with M V L


    With a thought,


    Drip~ Li Yuan directly exited the virtual network.


    ...Hum~ The virtual network chamber opened.


    Li Yuan opened his eyes, feeling an immense tranquility around him, the noise from the competition space seemed like a distant dream.


    But this tranquility was what was real.


    "Claiming first place in the battlefield, I''ve completed the first goal of the competition," Li Yuan''s heart was completely calm: "It''s time to continue training."


    Li Yuan got up and walked out of the virtual network chamber.


    "I''ll start with the Visualization Method," Li Yuan went to the center of the Martial Arts Room and gently closed his eyes.


    The work of cultivation required accumulations over days and months without a single day of slack.


    ...


    When the melee competition ended, many students left the virtual network chamber one after another.


    In a remote and inconspicuous small country in the Africa Continent,


    A regular student was writing a string of seemingly unrelated symbols on a piece of white paper.


    But these symbols, if accurately translated into Xia language,


    "Li Yuan, eighteen years and six months old, intermediate rank Fifth Stage skills."


    "A year and a half ago, he was only at the Third Stage. As for the threat level, it has surpassed that of SSS-class."


    "Recommendation: initiate all tactics excluding the Flying Heaven Realm Infiltrators to exterminate him!"

 Chapter 282: Chapter 215: Awakening! The Second Star Meridian

    After practicing the Visualization Method for two hours as was his habit, Li Yuan continued to cultivate "All Heavens'' Stars".By the time all this ended, it had already reached deep into the night.


    He opened his eyes.


    Li Yuan only felt his mind clear and refreshed, and all the previous fatigue had dissipated, his body brimming with seemingly endless strength.


    "It''s four in the morning again?" Li Yuan glanced at his smart ring watch without thinking.


    Four in the morning was the time when Li Yuan finished his daily routine practices.


    In the ten days since he had returned to school, Experience new tales on M V L


    Apart from attending general knowledge classes, Li Yuan had almost entirely devoted his time to cultivation.


    Practicing his Spear Technique, combat training, cultivating the Visualization Method and "All Heavens'' Stars", etc.


    Outsiders could only see Li Yuan breaking through and surpassing limits repeatedly.


    But they could scarcely see the effort he put in behind the scenes.


    Indeed, a key reason for Li Yuan''s rapid growth was the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but if he hadn''t been so insanely diligent ... the Mind Spirit Divine Palace might have done more harm than good, as it was a double-edged sword.


    "Hmm."


    "In just these few hours, quite a number of people have sent me messages," Li Yuan saw on his smart ring watch, having received well over two hundred messages.


    Most were from various classmates and friends.


    Like Shi Xiao and others, as well as people such as Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, etc.


    And also many messages of congratulations from high school classmates like Wu Dongdong, Lin Lanyue, Li Tianyou, and others.


    "Hmm, Lanyue?" Li Yuan''s expression became slightly somber as he read the message from Lin Lanyue, "Is she about to head to the Star Realm?"


    The Star Realm was not so easy to traverse, and it seemed she was headed for the Second Level Star Realm.


    Without rushing to reply to Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan continued to quickly browse through the messages.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan paused.


    Because among these congratulatory messages, he unexpectedly found ones from Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, Liu Jing, Fang Longhu, Wan Qinghe, and many others.


    "Something''s not right."


    "Other people congratulating me is one thing," Li Yuan privately pondered, "but Senior Liu is stationed at the Mingxu Star Realm base, and then there''s Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou, they attend Cultural University... how did they get the news so quickly? And from the tone of their messages... it seems as though they''ve already decided that I''ll become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future?"


    Only four hours had passed since the end of the melee competition.


    Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Open the projection."


    Having a vague realization of something, Li Yuan directly commanded, "Xiao Yu, immediately conduct a full net intelligent search for ''Global Martial Arts Competition virtual match Li Yuan'', searching for official news."


    "Yes, Master," the assistant AI promptly responded.


    With a hum, a huge screen projection condensed, and the assistant AI swiftly searched, arranging the results in order according to Li Yuan''s previous search habits.


    Top of the list was a short video titled¡ª"Blue Star''s peerless genius ''Li Yuan'', the future surpassing Flying Heaven existence."


    Video producer: Starfire Martial Hall.


    "What?" Li Yuan''s expression shifted slightly.


    What was this video? Li Yuan immediately clicked to watch it.


    ... "He was born into an ordinary family in Jiangbei Province, and his adolescence was quite challenging."


    "His elder accomplished great contributions to the nation, receiving the Silver Quality Medal."


    "He, even more so, was a peerless genius selected by Starfire Martial Hall!"


    "Since junior high, he has been continually making progress in Martial Path. In his first year of high school, he quickly rose to be among the top ten in grade for martial arts skills, became number one in his second year, ranked first in the province in the college entrance examination on raw scores, and acquired the title of ''Youth Hero''", a voice-over narrated.


    The video displayed various snippets of Li Yuan''s junior and senior high school cultivation, his honors... many details were blurred out, and the people featured were ambiguous.


    "Now, just half a year into university, he has already made significant contributions, becoming a recipient of the Metal Quality Medal."


    "In the Global University Martial Arts Competition, teeming with geniuses, he revealed his peerless edge! Sweeping through many strong opponents! Advancing to the finals!" the narration grew more spirited.


    The scene switched to show clips of Li Yuan defeating numerous competitors, overpowering martial arts geniuses like Han Haochang and Hoffman... domineering! Assertive!


    "He is our Blue Star''s contemporary peerless genius ''Li Yuan'', his future knows no bounds, and we hope that he lives up to expectations... to soon become a Flying Heaven Warrior, nay, a surpassing Flying Heaven Warrior, becoming another towering pillar of our human civilization..." The video finally ended.


    Li Yuan was stupefied for a long while, almost embarrassed out of his skin, his face uncontrollably turning red.


    It was simply too exaggerated.


    Who would flatter in such a way? Peerless genius?


    "View count... damn, 110 million?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe his own eyes.


    This short promotional video went online at one in the morning, and it had only been online for three hours.


    Could the view count surpass a hundred million so quickly?


    Wasn''t this exaggeration a bit much?


    Li Yuan now understood why he had received so many messages, it was because of this short video? And he could foresee that by tomorrow or the day after, the number of people messaging him would likely be even greater.


    "Strange."


    "Why would the official Starfire Martial Hall produce such a video?" Wondering this, Li Yuan immediately began to look into it.


    He soon discovered.


    Besides his, there was a short video about Dantai Feng as well... no others, like Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, and other similarly dazzling geniuses, had no propaganda videos.


    Only he and Dantai Feng had them.


    "Logically, even if they made such a promotional video..." Li Yuan frowned, "it shouldn''t spread and ferment this quickly."


    The Global University Martial Arts Competition indeed had some clout, but since it was a completely closed event, it wouldn''t normally be deliberately publicized. Hence, its notoriety among the general public wasn''t very high... most people only knew that such a competition existed.


    "Very strange," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    He faintly sensed the scent of conspiracy, as if there was an invisible hand pushing him and Dantai Feng from behind the scenes to the forefront.


    "Forget it."


    "I can''t change it, so I can only accept it." Li Yuan shook his head, not wanting to think any further, then chuckled suddenly, "But Dantai Feng, seeing the video''s view count... will probably jump with joy."


    The two had fundamentally different personalities.


    Li Yuan didn''t mind showing his glory in public, while Dantai Feng sought to do so.


    "I believe the senior executives of Starfire Martial Hall have deep intentions for doing this," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Too late to inquire further and not wanting to think too much about it, he decided to ask during the day instead.


    After quickly browsing through all the messages, Li Yuan continued to cultivate his Spear Technique.


    He executed the move "Stellar Illumination" again and again.


    In the underground martial arts room, it was unusually quiet.


    The only sound was Li Yuan''s long spear swinging continuously, the terrifying spear light evolving as if it became material. But what was strange was that this terrifying display of spear technique erupted without the slightest sound.


    "Merge with heaven and earth."


    "My spear merges with heaven and earth," Li Yuan practiced over and over, the simplest moves containing the strongest power.


    His skill in spear technique had just reached the fifth stage Intermediate rank, exactly when his comprehension of heaven and earth had reached a new realm.


    After a long practice session.


    "Something''s not right! No." Li Yuan felt some discontent in his heart, feeling that the underground martial arts room was too confining.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan moved swiftly, soon arriving in the villa''s garden outside.


    It was past four in the morning, the sky full of stars, but very cold, with the north wind howling, altogether extremely quiet.


    A bright moon hung in the sky.


    "Cool, the chilly wind," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile on his face: "This is exactly the sensation I''m seeking."


    He continued to practice with his spear, following that most instinctive feeling he had during the fierce battle with Hoffman.


    Unknowingly.


    As Li Yuan''s heart gradually quieted, his spear momentum became more and more powerful, and he seemed to merge into the world around him.


    Divine union with heaven and earth!


    The spear united with heaven and earth, using the spear as a guide, the body entering heaven and earth, Li Yuan was attempting to do so step by step following the guidance of "Meaning of the Stellar."


    "Stellar, the essence lies in stability."


    "The idea of the galaxy is also vast; if the spear shadows are like the galaxy, they will be unshakable within the vastness of the starry rivers, unaffected by any storm," Li Yuan was completely immersed.


    Stellar Spear Technique, Meaning of the Stellar, named after the stars, the core of both is defense.


    Practicing over and over again, the terrifying display of spear technique also caused the surrounding grass to be rapidly torn apart, but the sound it made was very low.


    "[Your realm in spear technique has increased from 30% of the fifth stage to 31% of the fifth stage]," a prompt from the Divine Palace suddenly flashed by.


    But Li Yuan seemed not to notice and continued to cultivate in quietude.


    Only when the sky began to brighten, with a hint of dawn light faintly shining on the earth, did Li Yuan finally stop.


    "Unexpectedly."


    "Once I stepped into the intermediate rank of the fifth stage, a wealth of insights converged, and I thought I had deepened my understanding of the Meaning of the Stellar quite a bit, yet I only improved by 1%," Li Yuan said with a hint of a smile on his face: "Let it be, one should not be greedy, cultivation is inherently difficult after entering the intermediate rank of the fifth stage."


    "As long as one continues to steadily progress, that''s enough," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "Dawn is breaking."


    "It''s already past six, time to try the Life Star space, then breakfast," Li Yuan turned and walked towards the underground martial arts room.


    ...


    "Life Star space."


    "Awaken the Life Star." Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, his strong spiritual power quickly transported his consciousness into that peculiar space.


    The entire space was much brighter than before, no longer purely dark.


    Aside from the one Perfect Star Vein''s 129,600 Life Stars shining brightly, creating a beautiful ''light line'' in the dim space.


    Looking further, within the endless dim Life Star space, there were faintly many twinkling stars, densely packed.


    "Over this period of time, aside from the first star meridian, I have awakened more than thirteen thousand Life Stars," Li Yuan thought to himself: "It''s just a pity, many Life Stars do not belong to a single Life Star Vein."


    Life Star Veins, consisting of 12,960 to 129,600 Life Stars.


    Only when 12,960 Life Stars belong to a single vein can they gather and form a new Life Star Vein.


    "Branding!" Li Yuan''s heart was tranquil, his mighty spiritual power spread out, sensing the vast and dark starry sky.


    "Sense the natural order of heaven and earth from above."


    "The human body is also a microcosm." Li Yuan felt that his technique, having reached the intermediate rank of the fifth stage, made his spiritual power''s perception of the Life Star space clearer... The higher the technique and the stronger the spiritual power, the more it would help in branding Life Stars.


    Hum~


    Hum~ One by one, the Life Stars were locked by Li Yuan, and then gradually branded with his life''s breath. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    While Li Yuan continued to quietly cultivate in the martial arts room.


    About ''a thousand meters'' above his villa.


    A flying saucer-shaped aircraft was silently hovering, making no sound.


    In the cabin''s Quiet Cultivation Room, a man in black was quietly cultivating, surrounded by faint blue light.


    Countless blue lights swirled around him, making him seem like a Divine being.


    Whoosh~ Numerous beams of light converged, forming a giant screen, which displayed a young man in a suit.


    "Star Master, the task has been completed," the young man in a suit slightly bowed and said: "Now, over seventy percent of the Flying Heaven Warriors around the world have received the message about Li Yuan and Dantai Feng."


    "Furthermore, under our covert guidance, the names Li Yuan and Dantai Feng have transcended national boundaries, and their short videos are wildly spreading," said the young man in a suit.


    "Hmm."


    "Is Star Lord Bai Shan ready?" the figure in black asked indifferently: "The plan is so meticulous, let there be no accidents."


    "Star Lord Bai Shan has already arrived at Starfire University and is covertly observing," the young man in a suit replied earnestly.


    "Good."


    "Let''s see if, under such ongoing stimulation, those Alien Races are willing to take such a big risk," said the figure in black casually.


    With a wave of his hand, he shut off the screen.


    ...


    Li Yuan, who had been quietly cultivating in the martial arts room, was awakening more and more Life Stars.


    The number of awakened Life Stars continued to rise.


    Suddenly.


    "Hum~" An invisible fluctuation burst forth from Li Yuan''s body instantly, impacting in all directions.


    This aura wasn''t particularly strong, but it was highly condensed, causing the surrounding Origin Power to increase significantly.


    "The second Star Meridian, by my own efforts, has finally begun to awaken," Li Yuan showed a smile.


    His gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    "[You have awakened the second Star Meridian, your Star Meridian Level has improved from level 10 to level 11]"

 Chapter 283: Chapter 216: He Must Be Killed

    ```"I''ve worked so hard for so long," Read latest chapters at M V L


    "Finally, I have awakened more than 12,960 stars on the second Life Star Vein." A glimmer of light flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes, and a smile he couldn''t suppress appeared at the corners of his mouth.


    In fact, Li Yuan had awakened over 15,000 life stars through his own sensation of countless stars.


    Even with strong spiritual power and high-level skills, Li Yuan still failed many times and had to stop midway to rest for a while before he could continue.


    That was with the benefit of the experiences of many human civilization predecessors.


    Thus, Li Yuan could imagine how difficult it must have been for the original Prime Warriors to create their laws centuries ago.


    "On the foundation laid by our predecessors, I can easily find many common life stars," Li Yuan thought to himself, "but they had to grope in the dark... The number of times they failed must have been much higher than mine."


    The original creators had a 99% failure rate in creating laws, no exaggeration.


    "Now, as long as I spend enough time, lighting up the life stars one by one, I will undoubtedly grow step by step," Li Yuan felt confident.


    After the last "Spiritual Guidance," Li Yuan was quite eager to see how many more unawakened ''life stars'' there were in the star space.


    Now, with strong spiritual power and superior skills, time and effort would surely lead to success.


    "The second Star Meridian has been preliminarily awakened, and its level has been raised by one?" Li Yuan mused, observing the data displayed on the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.6 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 62,500 kilograms


    Speed: 109.6 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 30.3


    Willpower: Level 31


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 37.9% (current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: Level 11 (cultivation efficiency 10 + 0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 31%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 31%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ...


    The first Star Meridian was perfectly awakened, with all 129,600 life stars without flaws, hence a level 10 Star Meridian.


    The second Star Meridian''s initial awakening raised it by one level.


    "Does that mean, for every additional 12,960 life stars awakened on a Star Meridian, it can be raised by one level?" Li Yuan speculated.


    This was Li Yuan''s conjecture, and accurate conclusions still required more examples.


    "But what does the cultivation efficiency of 10 + 0.5 displayed after the Star Meridian mean?" Li Yuan thought, "A total cultivation efficiency of 10.5?"


    How was that calculated?


    After a little thought, Li Yuan came up with a possibility, but it too needed to be verified.


    "Let''s try."


    Li Yuan gently closed his eyes and activated the two Star Meridians with a thought. Instantaneously, countless tiny sparkles of light bloomed inside his body, converging to form filaments... in the past, only one filament formed, but now two were forming.


    One was dazzling, with dense points of light.


    The other was rather dim.


    Origin Power surged tumultuously from the outside world along the two filaments into Li Yuan''s body, following the circulation of the Star Meridians, attempting to further strengthen his flesh and bones... But it was to no avail, as Li Yuan had only recently finished cultivating "All Heavens'' Stars."


    It was as if he had already eaten his fill.


    However, with his strong spiritual power, Li Yuan quickly came to a preliminary conclusion.


    "This additional Star Meridian doesn''t have as great an effect as I imagined; it''s pretty close to what''s shown on the Divine Palace panel. It has increased the efficiency of my Origin Power absorption by about 5%, which is consistent with the displayed ratio of 10 to 0.5," Li Yuan thought.


    Through the Divine Palace panel, Li Yuan had more speculations.


    If the highest-level Star Meridian was level 100, representing ten perfect Star Meridians with a cultivation efficiency of 100¡ªan extreme limit¡ª


    then each perfect Star Meridian would have an efficiency of 10.


    And for each Star Meridian that was initially awakened, each increase in level would raise the cultivation efficiency by about 0.5, with progressively larger increases as it approached a Perfect Star Meridian.


    "Perhaps, this is the difference between perfection and imperfection," Li Yuan mused, "Perhaps a level 9 Star Meridian could increase the efficiency by 6 or 7, but once it undergoes a transformation to a level 10 Perfect Star Meridian, it would skyrocket to 10."


    All these were Li Yuan''s guesses.


    "Once I further improve the second-awakened Star Meridian, or even awaken the third and fourth ones, many secrets will naturally reveal themselves," Li Yuan pondered.


    Li Yuan did not delve deeper.


    Many things, without precedent in the Seven Stars civilization or explanation from the Divine Palace panel, had to be explored and summed up on one''s own.


    "Strength,"


    "Only by striving to make myself stronger will everything eventually become clear," Li Yuan thought, "Higher cultivation efficiency is never a bad thing."


    ...


    Starting at seven in the morning, as Li Yuan expected, he began to receive more and more messages.


    Many old classmates who hadn''t been in touch much for the past six months... all sent him messages.


    Even his younger brothers and sisters messaged him, asking if he had won the championship in the competition.


    He had become a sensation!


    Li Yuan was thoroughly sensationalized, and he checked the views on that short video again, which had exceeded 400 million, surpassing Dantai Feng''s 220 million by a long shot.


    He glanced at the time.


    "I should ask Lord Yang of the Province," Li Yuan decided, and dialed the V-communication number of the other party.


    Among the high-ranking officials of the Starfire Martial Hall at the Flying Heaven level, he only knew Lord Yang, and they had barely interacted before. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was also why Li Yuan hadn''t rashly inquired the night before, as he didn''t know who to ask.


    Just over ten seconds later, the communication connected.


    "Li Yuan?" A gentle female voice came through the communication.


    "Yes, I''m Li Yuan," Li Yuan responded, "Lord Yang, I''m sorry to disturb you so early, but I wanted to ask... why did the Martial Hall quickly produce a short video of my competition? Logically, shouldn''t the news have been suppressed?"


    "That matter?" The gentle voice carried a hint of confusion, "I''ve only just learned about it myself... I don''t fully understand the details; it was an order from a higher authority,"


    ```

 Chapter 284: Chapter 216: He Must Be Killed_2

    "I was just about to notify you.""Just one thing, don''t leave Kunlun Martial University recently, and in the next few days, occasionally go out during the day to take a stroll around the school, like visiting the Heilong Building, the Vermilion Bird Building, and the like," said the gentle female voice. "You don''t need to worry about anything else."


    "Not leave Kunlun Martial University? Go out for a stroll?" Li Yuan thought, a possibility flashing through his mind.


    Sometime later.


    Both parties hung up the communication.


    Li Yuan fell into deep thought. Logically, a genius of his level, like Dantai Feng, should be doing their utmost to conceal their information.


    After all, although few, there definitely are alien race spies hidden within human civilization.


    Why then, make such a public announcement?


    Continue your journey on M V L


    It was as if they were worried others wouldn''t know.


    "The higher-ups aren''t fools," Li Yuan mused to himself. "By doing this, they most likely want to use Dantai Feng and me as bait to lure out the big fish in hiding."


    Still, Li Yuan couldn''t completely make sense of it.


    This crazy publicity, it seemed too deliberate... An alien race powerhouse that could go unnoticed, would definitely not be a fool.


    Baiting with a direct hook!


    Would the alien race fall for it?


    "The higher-ups must have their reasons for doing this," Li Yuan murmured, shaking his head slightly. "It''s not up to me to decide now."


    If what he guessed was true, using himself as ''bait'' did not bother Li Yuan in the slightest.


    "In a sense, it only shows that I''ve become extremely important." Li Yuan saw the situation very clearly, like how senior Liu Jing and others defended the Mingxu Star Realm, as a sacrifice.


    Many times, to win a major victory, there always needs to be those who are willing to take risks and to sacrifice.


    ...


    Time passed by, day by day.


    The third round of the ''elimination'' virtual battles continued, with 990 martial path geniuses from all over the globe.


    Geniuses of the martial path like Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, Tian Dazhuang, Zhu Tong, all had to fight desperately round after round, striving to defeat opponent after opponent to secure one of the ten remaining spots in the finals.


    Among the many martial path geniuses from Xia Country, the ones who directly advanced to the finals were only Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Yu Mingwei.


    From February 11th to February 18th, there were no matches for him during this week.


    Li Yuan was at leisure.


    He continued to train methodically, and according to Lord Yang of the Province''s orders, he visited the Heilong Building daily... but it was apparent, his fame was skyrocketing.


    Wherever he went, he was the focus of attention.


    In just two days, the global views of that short video had already surpassed 2 billion views.


    The number of followers on Li Yuan''s V-blog surged from just over a hundred thousand to over 20 million.


    In the truest sense, he became a sensation overnight across the entire virtual network.


    It''s a pity, though, that Li Yuan did not engage in commercial promotions or live broadcasting... For activities that affected his training and inner peace, he always disregarded them.


    Meanwhile.


    Every time Li Yuan went out, he was extremely vigilant, his powerful spiritual power continuously diffusing around him. Any life that entered his line of sight or perception could not escape his ''Divine Palace Inquiry.''


    After all, although Li Yuan believed that the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall had laid traps secretly, he couldn''t afford to be careless himself.


    Unfortunately... there were no anomalies.


    ...


    Blue Star, with its vast expanses, was home to over a hundred billion humans, and over the centuries, numerous star realm portals had emerged.


    Most star realms were either very small or didn''t require much resource investment in surveillance, like the Moon Demon Star Realm, the Mingxu Star Realm, and others.


    But there were a few star realms, broad and vast, nurturing countless treasures, and connected to some powerful foreign civilizations, that had thus... erupted into war.


    For example, the Rob Sea Star Realm within the boundaries of Xia Country.


    And another example ¡ª the Wanhan Star Realm!


    As the only "Third Level Star Realm" on Blue Star, with a vast expanse that has fostered many precious rarities and is connected to many different foreign temporal spaces,


    the Wanhan Star Realm has always been a battleground for many civilizations such as the Seven Stars human civilization, Tianliang human civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and others, attracting a large convergence of Flying Heaven powerhouses.


    The entire star realm, with its largest diameter exceeding one million kilometers... the native life force it has nurtured is also extremely powerful.


    All of this has made Wanhan Star Realm incredibly chaotic, with constant warfare.


    Today.


    Wanhan Star Realm, in one mysterious location beneath the continuous glaciers, deep underground,


    within a majestic hall,


    a figure in a purple robe sat cross-legged, silently tapping the projection light screen in front of him, browsing through a large amount of information, with both text and video... If one looked closely, they would see that Li Yuan was appearing in the video.


    After perusing all the information,


    he pondered for a long while.


    "Huh!" With a wave of his hand, the figure in the purple robe tapped the light screen, entering a special communication channel.


    Dial!


    Drip~ Drip~ As time passed, the figure in the purple robe waited patiently.


    A full ten minutes later,


    "Zi Xin, what''s the matter? You need to call me directly?" a deep voice sounded.


    "Number Three."


    "This time, it''s your turn to take action," the figure in the purple robe said with a raspy voice, "I need you to kill someone."


    "Who?" the deep voice referred to as ''Number Three'' asked.


    "The newly emerging genius from Xia Country, Li Yuan," the figure in the purple robe named the target, "He is currently at Kunlun Martial University."


    "Impossible," the deep voice resolutely refused, "I''m aware of his file as well, but such large-scale publicity is definitely the high echelons of Starfire Martial Hall using him as bait... Even if I go, the failure rate is extremely high."


    "I even suspect that he''s not at Kunlun Martial University and has already been secretly moved," said the deep voice.


    "There''s no need to worry about that," the figure in the purple robe said, "He is indeed at Kunlun Martial University, without a doubt, this has been verified by us through multiple covert checks in the past few days... we all know Starfire Martial Hall is luring us in, but the bait is real."


    "And we must take this bait,"


    "Even if it means the fish dies, we must take the bait."


    "Li Yuan poses too great a threat, no matter how the other side is enticing us, there''s one truth in the promotional video... he indeed has the potential to reach the Semi-Divine Level," the figure in the purple robe said, "No one wants the Seven Stars human civilization to gain an additional Demigod."


    The one called Number Three fell silent.


    Indeed.


    This is clearly a trap, but the bait is real; this is an obvious stratagem.


    "Precisely because we know it''s a trap, we''re not dispatching Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¨Cit would mean certain death," the figure in the purple robe said, "Only you, who practice the ''Blood Shadow'' Star Technique, once you send out a Blood Shadow Incarnation... even if the Seven Stars human civilization sends a Demigod lying in wait here, at most they can kill your clone."


    "Even at the cost of losing a Blood Shadow Incarnation, he must be killed."


    "Besides, we''ve verified that Bai Shan Semi-Divine is in the capital guarding Dantai Feng."


    Number Three kept silent. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In Xia Country, or rather, on Blue Star, there are only a few Demigod-level existences.


    If Bai Shan is not at Kunlun Martial University, then if he makes a move, the chances of success are indeed high.


    At least the chance of perishing is very small.


    "Can''t we wait a little longer? There will always be an opportunity," Number Three said in a low voice.


    "Do you think, after missing this chance, the Seven Stars human civilization will give us another opportunity?" the figure in the purple robe sighed, "After this battle, Li Yuan will definitely go to Feixing... are you thinking of assassinating him under Dongfang Ji''s watchful eye?"


    Number Three fell silent again.


    "Three Blood Demon Heart Fruits," the figure in the purple robe finally threw out the offer, "Sufficient to compensate for the loss of your Blood Shadow Incarnation in battle."


    "Fine," Number Three finally agreed.


    He knew that this time, the clan was indeed sparing no expense.

 Chapter 285: Chapter 217: Returning Alive (Extra 19)

    ```Time elapsed, and in the blink of an eye, it was February 16, leaving only two days until the finals of the virtual battle.


    After four in the afternoon.


    Li Yuan, who had been going out for several days in a row, unusually stayed at home today.


    Because the sky poured with torrential rain, clouds heavy and the atmosphere gloomy.


    In such weather, it was naturally more comfortable to stay at home.


    "Stellar Spear Technique, the Third Layer¡ªGalaxy Convergence." Li Yuan was in the underground Martial Arts Room, seriously practicing his spear technique.


    The shadows of the spear shifted, the air itself seemed to twist, and even the solid walls of the Martial Arts Room were scored with numerous scratches while the floor had become uneven.


    The Martial Arts Room, which was strong enough to withstand the full-on combat of a Level 19 Martial Artist, was showing signs of wear under the daily intensive training from Li Yuan.


    After practicing for a long while, Li Yuan finally stopped.


    "It looks like I''ll need to apply for a new place from the school after this competition," he mumbled to himself, scanning the walls and floor.


    The school had many specially made houses with larger Martial Arts Rooms and better materials that could easily withstand the bursts of a normal Prime Warrior''s training.


    However, their construction was much more expensive and required a personal application.


    Li Yuan guessed that the school teachers had probably never seen a freshman requesting to change villas before.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan slowly retracted his spear, his breath gradually stabilizing as he glanced at the Divine Palace panel: "After stepping into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, my spear technique''s progression has indeed slowed down."


    ---


    [Life Level: 19.7 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 63,900 kilograms


    Speed: 110.9 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 30.3


    Willpower: Level 32


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 37.9% (Current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: Level 11 (Training Efficiency 10+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 32%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 32%), Fist Technique (Perfection)

    "My physical quality has been steadily improving," Li Yuan thought. "Even willpower has improved by one level after such a long period of honing with the Visualization Method."


    But the progress of the spirit, as well as spear and movement techniques, was sharply declining.


    Or rather, it''s not that Li Yuan''s progress was slow, but that his techniques and spiritual power were quickly under transformation, and the disparity between each level afterward was becoming increasingly vast.


    Especially the techniques.


    It should be noted that Li Yuan, relying on a Flying Heaven-level soul, managed to extrapolate his spear technique from 20% of the Fifth Stage to 29% in just about half a month.


    "I''ve just broken through to the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, and it should be the time of rapid advancement. Practicing my spear technique every day, I feel the progress myself," Li Yuan thought. "But after a week, it only improved by 2%."


    The progress would only get slower in the future.


    At this rate, Li Yuan felt it would take at least half a year to reach the limit of the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, let alone when he could step into the High Rank of the Fifth Stage... that''s an unknown.


    "No wonder they say that for Blue Star''s top geniuses, managing to reach the Perfection Level of the Fifth Stage before the age of 30 means they''re extremely successful," Li Yuan reflected.


    Now, he had a personal understanding of this.


    This was still under the circumstances of having a ''Flying Heaven-level soul''¡ªwithout it, his progress would have slowed even more.


    Suddenly.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan vaguely sensed something and subconsciously looked up, whispering to himself, "Teacher?"


    Even though he was practicing in the underground Martial Arts Room, Li Yuan''s spiritual power was always radiating outward.


    The entire villa, and even the movements in the vicinity, could hardly escape Li Yuan''s Divine Sense perception.


    In terms of perception ability, although Li Yuan was not on par with a real Flying Heaven Warrior, he outclassed many Prime Warriors.


    "Time to greet the teacher," Li Yuan moved, placing the Black Chen Spear back on the weapon rack.


    Your next chapter is on M V L


    He had already left the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ..."Teacher, what brings you here all of a sudden today?" Li Yuan said with a smile as he welcomed Li Yang through the door.


    After brewing some tea.


    Li Yuan sat down with Li Yang in the living room on the first floor, making themselves comfortable on the sofa.


    "Just dropping by to see how you''re doing," Li Yang said with a smile. "The school suspended classes this week to allow students to watch the battles, but I''ve noticed you''ve never gone to the competition space."


    "Busy with training," Li Yuan responded with a smile, without much explanation.


    To watch the battles? In fact, Li Yuan had gone a few times; he''d watched one or two matches involving high-level fighters like Jin Huguo and Dantai Feng, but as for the other matchups... they were a pure waste of time.


    Li Yuan naturally did not go, so it seemed as if he hardly ever appeared in the competition space.


    "How is your spear technique coming along?" Li Yang asked with a smile.


    "Difficult," Li Yuan replied with a nod.


    "Haha, to hear a peerless genius like you say it''s difficult means that it must indeed be challenging," Li Yang laughed. "The cultivation of Fifth Stage skills is a step-by-step process of comprehending the cosmos, making the body gradually blend with the world. It''s really tough, but your speed of progress is already quite strong."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile; indeed, he was fast enough.


    "Don''t worry too much. Even though Nevsky''s breakthrough is confirmed, and there are several like Yin Man and Kunale who are suspected to have made breakthroughs, even if they have, it won''t have been for long," Li Yang said cheerfully. "The gap is very small, and in a fight to the death... it depends even more on your performance in the moment."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    From his own experience, in a fight between Fifth Stage experts, if the gap in skills exceeded 10%, it was usually difficult to win.


    But if the difference was only 5% or even less? The disparity in strength was minimal.


    "The elimination rounds will end today, and tonight the final ten slots for the finals will be decided," Li Yang said. "If you''re interested, you might want to take a look."


    "It''s not that meaningful," Li Yuan replied, shaking his head with a smile. "Mostly it''s Fifth Stages against Fourths, and there''s only one battle between Fifth Stages. I''ll see if I have the time."


    "Alright, it''s up to you," said Li Yang with a laugh.


    In this virtual battle, the emergence of high-level Fifth Stage fighters wasn''t particularly plentiful, with only 21 talents including the two who had broken through in the knockout stages.


    Not too few, but not too many either.


    However, with Li Yuan and Dantai Feng, two freshman participants in this finals, this virtual battle was destined to be remembered by posterity.


    Li Yang did not talk about the idea of ''seizing the championship.''


    Although the higher echelons of Kunlun Martial University harbored this desire, none of them actually mentioned it, as they all did not want to impose too much pressure on Li Yuan.


    "There are a few more things," Li Yang said cheerfully. "First is the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, which I''ve managed to purchase through other channels... it''s already arranged to be sent to Jiang City."


    "Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, unable to hide the excitement in his gaze.


    "Yes, there will be no mistake," Li Yang said. "I''ll arrange for a medical team as well... to ensure that your uncle is safe and sound and fully recovered."


    Li Yang understood Li Yuan''s worries and knew what Li Yuan cared for the most.


    "Thank you, teacher," Li Yuan said earnestly.


    ```


    ```


    "Ha ha, I should be the one thanking you," Li Yang laughed. "Just a Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, it''s nothing compared to what I''ve gained."


    Some things Li Yang didn''t mention.


    His spiritual power had transformed to the Flying Heaven Level, and after just half a month of cultivation, he had already vaguely seen the hope of a breakthrough.


    The bottleneck was loosening.


    "Another matter is about that suspect from an Alien Race you discovered last time in Jiangnan Province," Li Yang said. "You remember, right? After the investigation these days, we have preliminarily confirmed... it indeed is a spy from the Tianliang Clan, although we haven''t completely netted them yet."


    "Really an Alien Race?" A mysterious light flickered in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    So, the Divine Palace''s inquiry could actually lock onto alien spies?


    Alas, the Divine Palace inquiry can only identify those within 10 levels above one''s own, and can''t probe beyond that threshold.


    "Yes, your eyes are indeed sharp," Li Yang laughed. "Although we haven''t completely closed the net, the merit you''re due has already been preliminarily counted towards you."


    "Plus the great merit you earned in the Fierce Feather Star Realm''s Flying Serpent Valley."


    "Mm, just like in that very popular promotional video you made recently, you''ve already qualified for a Third Class Gold Medal," Li Yang said. "There should be an official award ceremony for you soon."


    "A Gold Medal?" Li Yuan''s heart stirred.


    This was an honor that most Prime Warriors didn''t possess, which also entailed many privileges.


    "How is the situation in the Mingxu Star Realm now?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "When you and Liu Jing first helped us establish that rudimentary base, ahead of the Tianliang Clan... now we''ve almost locked in the victory. It''s just that the battle with the Tianliang Clan is very fierce, and we have suffered many casualties," Li Yang said with emotion.


    "As the first discoverer of the mine, I estimate in another ten days or half a month, once the battle situation is completely over..."


    "Then, the rewards will be distributed."


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    According to Senior Liu Jing, should we finally seize control, at least there should be a reward of ten billion Blue Star Coins for myself... which is astounding.


    Money, Li Yuan had always taken very seriously.


    For instance, there were over ten billion Blue Star Coins to Li Yuan''s name now, which might seem plentiful. But once one becomes a Prime Warrior, just buying some treasures for cultivating Origin Power Secret Techniques, Body Secret Techniques... each is a veritable gold pit.


    This amount of money was simply not enough.


    This was also why Li Yuan was so eager to aim for the top three or even first place in the virtual battle.


    It was not only to prove to the higher-ups in Xia Country that they chose the right person.


    On the other hand, just the Heavenly Materials Treasures worth 20 billion Blue Star Coins alone were incredibly attractive.


    ...


    After sending off Teacher Li Yang, who had informed Li Yuan of many things, it also gave him plenty to think about and reflect on regarding his own cultivation.


    He had just returned to the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Master, Lin Lanyue is calling," the voice of the assistant AI sounded: "Video communication."


    "Lanyue?" Li Yuan paused, then said, "Answer!"


    Beep~


    Countless beams of light shot out, quickly converging to form a holographic projection screen. In the projection appeared a figure in a red robe.


    "Lanyue," Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile. "Why are you suddenly looking for me?"


    Throughout this long period, through countless interactions and encounters, their relationship had become very good, already subtly surpassing that of mere classmates.


    "It''s nothing urgent."


    "I''m just about to head to Feixing, so I wanted to tell you before I leave," Lin Lanyue said with a gentle smile. "After all, once I enter the Star Realm, it will be difficult to keep in touch."


    "The Fierce Feather Star Realm?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    He had learned the name of the Star Realm from their last conversation two days prior and had looked up some information.


    It was a Second-Level Star Realm, highly dangerous.


    The overall situation bore some resemblance to the Mingxu Star Realm... It seemed that a grand battle had not erupted, yet it was filled with secrets and perils.


    The native existence of Flying Heaven Level in the Fierce Feather Star Realm was not few.


    "Mm." Lin Lanyue nodded and smiled. "The itinerary is already arranged. I can''t watch you win the championship in the virtual battle, so I''ll just have to congratulate you when I come back alive."


    "Okay, for your congratulations, I will do my best to win the championship too," Li Yuan laughed.


    Then Li Yuan changed the topic and couldn''t help asking, "Will there be any danger to life?"


    As he finished asking, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. "What a foolish question."


    How could there be no danger to life when adventuring in the Star Realm?


    "There is danger."


    "But for me, some things must be done. If not now, I''ll still have to do them later," Lin Lanyue said calmly. "I have no choice."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Though Lin Lanyue didn''t say much, Li Yuan could guess some of it... The children of great families did not have it as carefree as ordinary people imagined, and aside from a few profligates, most of them fought very hard.


    And in fact, Lin Lanyue''s rate of improvement in strength had somewhat exceeded Li Yuan''s expectations.


    Over the span of half a year.


    Lin Lanyue''s Martial Arts Skills had progressed from the early Fourth Level to High-Ranked Fourth Level. Although not as advanced as Tian Dazhuang''s level, the progress was still striking.


    As time passed, the two of them continued to chat slowly.


    "Make sure to come back alive," Li Yuan finally couldn''t help saying, a hint of inexplicable worry in his heart.


    "I will."


    ...


    After hanging up the video call with Lin Lanyue.


    Li Yuan felt an unexplained sense of anxiety and worry within.


    "Hopefully, everything will be fine," Li Yuan shook his head, pushing down various thoughts and trying to calm his heart.


    He continued to practice in silence.


    ...


    Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away from where Li Yuan was unaware, in a small town, within an inconspicuous house.


    "Blood Shadow!"


    A black-robed figure stood in the room.


    In front of him was another figure.


    The figure looked exactly like him but was dressed in a blood-colored robe, emanating a strange aura.


    "Rainy night!"


    "Perhaps it truly is a heaven-sent opportunity," the black-robed figure mused as he sat there, deep in thought.


    Whoosh!


    That blood-robed figure moved slightly, blending in with the darkness as if merging with the shadows.


    He was heading toward Kunlun Martial University.


    ```

 Chapter 286: Chapter 218: A Drop of Rain Across the Sky and Earth (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    ```Spanning hundreds of kilometers, a Flying Heaven Warrior, if flying at full speed, could arrive in just a few minutes.


    However, that would make too much noise.


    For ''Number Three'', he knew for certain that there would be Flying Heaven Peakers guarding Kunlun Martial University, protecting Li Yuan. If he were to fully unleash his power, he might be intercepted before he could even get close.


    Fight with a Flying Heaven Warrior? Number Three was not interested.


    As one of the most terrifying assassins of the Tianliang Civilization infiltrating the Seven Stars human civilization, he was an ace, rarely making a move... But once he did, it would be earth-shattering, and the target''s value astonishingly high.


    Across the Blue Star, targets of Li Yuan''s caliber had not appeared for a long time.


    It should be noted that even for Yu Jinghe, Number Three, after some analysis, had chosen to refrain from acting, unwilling to take the risk.


    But Li Yuan? No choice!


    "Geniuses of the Seven Stars human civilization, if only having the potential to reach the peak of Flying Heaven, are not worth my effort." Number Three was clear on this: "Only those with the potential to become Demigods."


    The Flying Heaven Realm, it was only the beginning of transcending the mundane, still carrying the word ''mundane''. They still fell within the understanding of ordinary people and could theoretically still be killed using conventional technological weapons.


    A Demigod, however, already had a touch of the divine.


    A civilization can only stabilize itself by giving birth to Demigods, like a tree with a main trunk that can flourish and become lush.


    If a civilization can produce a group of Demigods, then it can truly be considered powerful, standing tall between heaven and earth, fearless of most storms.


    "According to the records, Xia Country gave birth to a total of three Demigods," Number Three''s true body sat cross-legged in the inconspicuous house in the small town.


    His consciousness was entirely focused on the ''Blood Shadow Incarnation'', which blended into the rainy night and continued to move forward.


    The Stealth speed of the Blood Shadow Incarnation was very slow.


    It only moved a few hundred meters per second.


    However, whether it was rivers and mountains along the way or the streets and houses of the towns they passed... mere terrain offered no obstacle to his progress.


    "One, Dongfang Ji, stationed at Feixing."


    "One, Dantai Lie, guarding the entrance to the Wanhan Star Realm."


    "Only the oldest Star Lord Bai Shan remains, far away in the Central Capital of Xia Country. After I kill him and turn into a shadow to flee, Bai Shan will take at least ten minutes to arrive, and he won''t be able to track me," Number Three thought to himself: "The other Flying Heavens secretly guarding? They can at most kill my Blood Shadow Incarnation."


    He had absolute confidence in the Star Techniques he practiced.


    Star Techniques!


    They were mighty powers developed based on the Star Meridians in the body, requiring immense Origin Power to drive... Any Star Technique, once mastered, held unbelievable power.


    The stronger and more numerous the Star Meridians, the more potent and numerous the Star Techniques that can be cultivated.


    The Life Star is the source, the Star Meridians are the foundation.


    For instance, the two major Star Techniques that Number Three practiced, ''Blood Shadow Star Technique'' and ''Shadow Star Technique,'' allowed him to create ''Blood Shadow Incarnations'' and to move unseen in darkness, respectively, both unique even among the Tianliang Clan.


    Those two major Star Techniques, working together, had allowed him to breach the defenses guarded by Demigods of the Seven Stars human civilization and infiltrate Blue Star.


    Direct combat? Number Three was rather average at the Flying Heaven level.


    But under the combined effect of the two Star Techniques, he became an extremely terrifying Flying Heaven assassin.


    This was also why the Tianliang Clan chose him for the task.


    Choose any other Infiltrator? Spy? They would undoubtedly die facing the traps set by the Seven Stars human civilization.


    Only Number Three, he was sufficiently confident.


    About fifteen minutes later.


    Number Three''s Blood Shadow Incarnation was gradually getting close to the location of Kunlun Martial University, becoming increasingly cautious in his movements.


    "Many powerful beings." Number Three''s consciousness, hidden in the Incarnation, carefully perceived his surroundings while concealing his aura.


    He dared not release his spiritual power at all.


    Kunlun Martial University, as one of the Seven Stars human civilization''s vital places, was constantly staffed by more than four Flying Heaven Warriors, each of whom... felt as scorching as the sun to Number Three''s senses.


    Fortunately, the Blood Shadow Incarnation was not Number Three''s true form, carrying little of his Soul Power, difficult for other Flying Heaven levels to detect.


    At the same time.


    Number Three could also sense that there were some extremely terrifying things hidden within Kunlun Martial University.


    "It''s the Origin Power Array, as expected, containing lethal attacks," Number Three became even more vigilant.


    Suddenly, his Blood Shadow Incarnation stopped, frowning: "The rainy night is conducive to my advance, the weather can interfere with one''s perception."


    "But today''s rain is far too heavy."


    Abnormally heavy.


    Downpours like this in the northwest of Xia Country during winter?


    But Number Three didn''t think much of it, as so far, he hadn''t noticed anything particularly out of the ordinary.


    Time passed.


    Finally, Number Three infiltrated outside the villa area belonging to the Sixth Institute, but he dared not be the slightest bit careless.


    "As expected, there is a Flying Heaven level existence closely guarding, such obvious spiritual fluctuation." Number Three continued as the map directed.


    At this moment.


    He was only about 500 meters away from Li Yuan''s villa, and he didn''t dare to get any closer because he sensed a Flying Heaven level presence within that villa.


    The aura didn''t seem very strong, but it undoubtedly belonged to the Flying Heaven level.


    "Wait!" Number Three was very patient, completely concealing his own aura, blending perfectly into the darkness.


    Instead, he felt reassured.


    If there were indeed an enormous trap laid, the Seven Stars human civilization would not leave such a glaring loophole.


    "Perhaps, the Seven Stars human civilization''s lethal trap is intended to lure top-grade Origin Martial Artists into attacking," Number Three thought.


    Time continued to flow.


    The rain gradually lessened, and the clouds covering Kunlun Martial University began to disperse, revealing the first light of dawn.


    A new day, which seemed to promise good weather.


    This Blood Shadow Incarnation was now completely concealed, with both blood circulation and heartbeats nearly nonexistent.


    He silently stared at the beautiful villa.


    Waiting for the villa owner to come out, or for the Flying Heaven level bodyguard to leave.


    He waited until daylight grew brighter.


    Around eight o''clock in the morning, the clouds had completely cleared, the villa''s surroundings were tranquil, with only the sounds of birds and insects.


    Occasionally, some students would leave the other villas.


    Finally.


    At Villa No. 61032, the Logistics Department''s delivery staff brought meals to the front door.


    Soon the door moved, and a young man dressed in a black practice outfit walked out.


    ```


    ```


    "It''s Li Yuan, he is¡­ a Flying Heaven level soul?" Number Three was shocked to his core as he watched intently.


    He was able to sense other Flying Heaven level beings by feeling their spiritual fluctuations, a secret technique he had cultivated.


    Number Three then realized what had happened from last night until now.


    The ''Flying Heaven level Guardian'' he believed in was actually Li Yuan himself!!


    This was absolutely staggering news.


    A First Rank Martial Artist, possessing a Flying Heaven level soul? Perhaps some Demigods could pay a great price to accomplish this, but what would be the point?


    Normally no one would do such a thing.


    Many thoughts flashed through Number Three''s mind as he considered all the possibilities.


    The next instant.


    "Kill!" Number Three''s Blood Shadow Incarnation acted in a flash, without a hint of murderous intent, the sword was already thrust out abruptly.


    "Swoosh!" There was not the slightest disturbance in the air.


    Five hundred meters?


    For a Flying Heaven level being, they could easily fly at the speed of sound, and even several times faster when going all out.


    In just one second, Number Three''s Blood Shadow Incarnation would be able to kill Li Yuan.


    Resist? No matter how skilled you are as a First Rank Warrior, there is no chance of survival.

    In an instant, Number Three''s Blood Shadow figure had already covered three hundred meters, leaving less than two hundred meters remaining.


    At that moment, Li Yuan had just received his breakfast from the delivery person.


    "You''re as good as dead." The eyes of the Blood Shadow Incarnation turned icy, and a thread of killing intent finally revealed itself. Explore new worlds at M V L


    ...


    "Thank you," Li Yuan said politely, taking the breakfast.


    Suddenly, his pupils contracted, as his overwhelmingly powerful spiritual power instantly sensed something.


    Danger!


    Extreme danger!


    Li Yuan instinctively looked up.


    He saw a nearly transparent figure crossing the vast sky in a flash, a sword whistling as it thrust straight at him.


    With one glance, the assailant had closed in by dozens of meters again.


    "Not good," Li Yuan thought, greatly alarmed.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan instinctively cast the Spiritual Secret Technique, "Soul Shock."


    Escape? Li Yuan''s mind reacted quickly, but his body was too slow to support any attempt at escape.


    "Boom!" An overwhelming wave of spiritual fluctuation swept out like a river in flood, crashing into the Blood Shadow Incarnation''s consciousness.


    It could only slightly affect it.


    As an incarnation of a Flying Heaven level being, Number Three''s cultivated Blood Shadow Incarnation, despite containing little soul power, was still of the Flying Heaven level¡­ Blocking Li Yuan''s spiritual shock wasn''t difficult.


    At that moment.


    "Die." Number Three could no longer hide his murderous intent.


    Just as Number Three thought his success was inevitable and Li Yuan believed his death was certain,


    suddenly


    Boom!


    The vast sky seemed to darken, as if dense clouds and rain were enveloping it; both Li Yuan and Number Three''s Blood Shadow Incarnation instinctively sent out a thread of their consciousness.


    They both sensed it.


    "Whoosh!"


    It was a drop of rain!


    From a kilometer high in the sky, a drop of rain hurtled towards them. This drop was moving so quickly, far surpassing Number Three''s Blood Shadow Incarnation''s burst¡­ Ten times the speed of sound? Twenty times?


    "What?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, as he vaguely saw many mysteries within that fleeting raindrop, containing the utmost beauty and truth of the universe, inspiring longing and reverence.


    It was like the ancient saying, ''Hear the Way in the morning, and you can die content in the evening.''


    At that moment, from that single raindrop, Li Yuan had a vague glimpse of ''the Way'', an origin of everything he sought after.


    A single raindrop!


    Insignificant at a glance, but when it embodies profound and supreme mystery, it holds an incomparable might.


    "Puchi!"


    The raindrop had crossed the heavens and earth, landing on the forehead of Number Three''s Blood Shadow Incarnation, where a flicker of terror flashed through his eyes.


    "The Law? It''s the legendary Law''s Profound Meaning!" Number Three''s consciousness dissipated instantly.


    Hum~


    In silence, the body, nearly transparent and with a robe faintly tinged with blood-red, burst apart like a bubble.


    Only weapons and Combat Armor fell to the ground.


    A single raindrop!


    A Flying Heaven level force had fallen.


    "This?" Li Yuan was stunned, swallowing reflexively.


    The delivery person beside him was even more baffled, far weaker and not even fully realizing what had just occurred.


    "That was?"


    Li Yuan looked up towards the sky, not having noticed before, but now finally seeing clearly.


    At a kilometer''s height, a young figure in black clothes was standing in mid-air.


    Eye contact!


    As Li Yuan looked up at him, the black-clothed figure also looked down, peering at Li Yuan.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan felt as if his very soul were thundering, his entire spiritual view dominated by the presence of the figure in black.


    A Divine Being!


    At that moment, to Li Yuan, the figure in black clothes seemed an omnipotent deity.


    ```

 Chapter 287: Chapter 219: Shadow, Ive Been Waiting for You for a Long Time

    It was truly terrifying; at that moment, Li Yuan even had an illusion.It seemed that with just a thought from the other party, he could be killed.


    Boom~ Li Yuan''s consciousness returned to clarity.


    "Stay here and be good," a gentle voice came into Li Yuan''s ear.


    The next instant.


    In Li Yuan''s vision, the black-clothed figure a kilometer up in the sky took one step, and the light around him seemed to twist.


    Then he disappeared without a trace.


    Boom!


    The sense of overcast clouds enveloping the world also vanished in an instant, and Li Yuan was completely back to normal. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Who was that?" Li Yuan was indescribably shocked in his heart.


    He believed that the black-clothed figure he had just seen was definitely the most terrifying existence he had ever witnessed in his life.


    Without a doubt!


    He was definitely one of the peak existences of human civilization, far surpassing the average Flying Heaven level.


    After all, Li Yuan had seen Dean Hai, a Flying Heaven warrior, and the sense of oppression he brought couldn''t even begin to be compared to the other party.


    They were not in the same league at all.


    "A single raindrop, to kill a Flying Heaven-level warrior?" Li Yuan recalled the scene just now, a shiver going through his heart.


    It was utterly unimaginable.


    It had surpassed Li Yuan''s understanding.


    "Is it the power of heaven and earth? Sixth Stage techniques?" Many guesses emerged in Li Yuan''s mind: "Or even more sophisticated levels of skill?"


    Enjoy exclusive content from M V L


    It was too fantastical.


    If the other party had used a weapon, a sword or spear to kill the opponent, Li Yuan, while still shocked, would somewhat understand the realm of that power.


    But just a raindrop flicked from a fingertip? How was that possible!


    "Is that mysterious and terrifying existence someone beyond the level of Flying Heaven? Has he been protecting me all along?" Li Yuan already thought of many possibilities in his heart.


    The assassination plot with himself as bait was most likely controlled by that black silhouette in the background.


    Just as Li Yuan was lost in his wild thoughts.


    Less than ten seconds passed.


    Boom! Boom! Two streaks of light swept across the vast sky, and two shadows flashed across the earth at high speed before rapidly converging into solid figures.


    One of them was Dean Hai.


    Their speed was fast, but in their Unity of Heaven and Man state, the disturbances they caused as they advanced were not too great.


    "You two?" The delivery person was slack-jawed with amazement.


    Even with a slow reaction, he had a vague realization that he might have just experienced something significant.


    "You can leave now," Dean Hai said in a deep voice.


    "Yes," the delivery person nodded repeatedly, leaping onto the flying vessel and quickly drove it away.


    He did not want to get involved at all.


    ...Silence fell over the grassland.


    "Li Yuan, are you alright?" Dean Hai had landed on the ground and approached Li Yuan, his voice urgent: "Are you hurt?"


    Dean Hai stared at Li Yuan.


    He was worried about Li Yuan''s safety.


    Just now, both of them had suddenly sensed a terrifying fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth erupting.


    Especially Dean Hai, his first thought was of Li Yuan.


    "Dean,"


    Li Yuan shook his head: "I''m fine. I was just saved by a mysterious black-clothed predecessor."


    The two great Flying Heaven warriors looked at each other, already having a rough understanding of what had transpired.


    "It must be the Chancellor," Dean Hai muttered.


    "Definitely," the other person, a lady in white, nodded firmly: "According to the plan, we were just a cover, responsible for secret surveillance and protection, while the Chancellor took the lead."


    "The Chancellor?" Li Yuan was stunned.


    Was that mysterious black-clothed man the chancellor of Kunlun Martial University?


    Whew!


    Dean Hai waved his hand, and the weapons and combat armor lying at a distance flew before the two of them.


    Then a strand of Origin Power filament shot out from Dean Hai''s hand, directly infusing the weapons.


    He seemed to be conducting an inquiry.


    After just a few seconds.


    "Indeed, they are Third Rank weapons; only Flying Heaven warriors with an Origin Pill as their core or Prime Warriors who have mastered True Intent can activate them," Dean Hai slowly said: "The assassin, with a ninety-nine percent probability, is of the Flying Heaven level."


    "A Flying Heaven-level spy!"


    "But there''s no fluctuation of an Origin Pill vanishing; it must be the Doppelganger Technique."


    "This is a very high-end Star Technique; among our warriors, very few in our civilization have successfully cultivated it," Dean Hai said with a serious face: "If nothing unexpected has happened, the assassin must be ''Shadow,'' the most fearsome Flying Heaven assassin of the Tianliang Clan infiltrated within our Blue Star."


    Clearly, Dean Hai knew a lot and was privy to many secrets.


    "Shadow?"


    Upon hearing this, the white-clothed woman''s face changed slightly, and she couldn''t help but look towards Li Yuan: "To think that Shadow personally made a move to assassinate you, you really live up to being recognized by the higher-ups as Blue Star''s number one talent of the future,"


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    The number one talent of the future of Blue Star? Did the higher-ups have such high expectations for him?


    "Li Yuan, don''t worry too much," Dean Hai said: "Surely you must have noticed, from the release of the short video to the Chancellor personally guarding, in reality, it was a killing formation deliberately set up... orchestrated by the Chancellor himself."


    "Not telling you was just to make everything appear more real, to force the most terrifying of the infiltrators to show themselves."


    "The Chancellor dared to do so because he was absolutely confident," Dean Hai said earnestly.


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded.


    Sometimes, the higher-ups not telling him in advance naturally have their considerations.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but say: "Dean Hai, who exactly is the Chancellor?"


    One move to kill a Flying Heaven level?


    With such strength, not only terrifying, was he merely the Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University?


    Could it be that all over Blue Star there were a large group of such terrifying beings?


    Dean Hai and the woman in white looked at each other.


    "In fact, you''ve heard his name before," Dean Hai said with a smile.


    "Heard it before?" Li Yuan became even more confused.


    "Previously, you were not qualified to know, but now you are nearly qualified." Dean Hai smiled, "The headmaster of Kunlun Martial University is just the least noticeable amongst his many identities. He has two other identities."


    "One identity is as the Star Master of the Seven Star Alliance."


    "The other identity is the ''Hall Master'' of the Starfire Blue Star headquarters," Dean Hai said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan listened, dumbstruck.


    The Star Master of the Seven Star Alliance? He had heard about that from Li Yang. But the Hall Master of the Starfire Blue Star headquarters? This, this!


    Among the three great Martial Halls, the Starfire Martial Hall is subtly ranked first. To be the Hall Master of Blue Star is absolutely one of the pinnacle existences of Blue Star.


    "Then why would he be at our school..." Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    Why would such a supreme existence come to be a headmaster?


    "He did not come to be the headmaster," Dean Hai said with a faint smile. "The location of our Kunlun Martial University happens to include a Star Realm, named the ''Kunlun Star Realm,'' which is also a Second Level Star Realm. Over the past few decades, it has been showing a trend of upgrading to a Third Level Star Realm."


    "Kunlun Star Realm?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    Every additional Third Level Star Realm is a disaster to the entire human civilization.


    "It is from that time that the headmaster came to assume the role," Dean Hai said with a laugh. "Being the headmaster is incidental; in fact, he is responsible for guarding the entry and exit of the Star Realm."


    "To prevent any unexpected incidents."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    "The headmaster''s name is Fang Hai," Dean Hai said with an enigmatic smile. "Yes, the very Fang Hai I used to mention to you so often."


    Fang Hai?


    The headmaster is Fang Hai? Li Yuan''s eyes bulged out in shock.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan was chatting with Dean Hai,


    Three hundred kilometers away from Kunlun Martial University, in a small town, inside a house.


    "The Mystery of the Law!"


    "A Demigod! Has Xia Country birthed another Demigod?" Number Three, clad in a black robe and having failed in his assassination, felt extremely shaken.


    He could have never imagined that a Demigod was secretly protecting this place.


    Demigods on Blue Star could be counted on one''s fingers.


    Without any hesitation,


    Whoosh! Number Three immediately fled for his life.


    He was indeed scared.


    If it was a Flying Heaven Warrior, he was confident that he could escape without the opposition tracking him, but a Demigod? Especially one who grasped the Mystery of the Law? It was truly terrifying.


    Whatever dreadful methods the other party possessed were beyond Number Three''s estimation.


    Without a sound,


    Without alerting anyone, Number Three had already escaped the town''s vicinity and sprinted into the vast barren mountains and ranges.


    At this moment, he didn''t even dare to burst forth at full speed, fearing he might cause too much disturbance in the natural world.


    Phew!


    As he kept fleeing, just a few minutes later, Number Three had already escaped by over a hundred kilometers, letting out a sigh of relief internally.


    Having escaped this far, and considering the previous three hundred kilometers, he should be beyond reach now, right?


    He had arrived at a vast and undulating mountain range.


    The sky to the northwest was boundless.


    Out of the blue,


    "Whoosh!" The color of the world changed. What was once a sunny sky instantly became overcast with clouds, followed by countless raindrops being spawned out of nowhere, pouring down.


    The whole world seemed transformed.


    "Not good," Number Three, who had just relaxed, turned pale, and no longer caring for caution, burst out with full force, his body burning with endless golden light, and his speed skyrocketing to more than five times the speed of sound.


    He soared into the sky!


    Attempting to break out of the scope of the gloomy rainy weather.


    "Whoosh!"


    Yet again, a single raindrop, containing boundless terrifying power, shot towards the golden figure in a flash.


    Too fast.


    The speed of the raindrop far exceeded that of the golden figure, giving him a sensation of unavoidable doom.


    "Again?" Number Three''s expression changed, but his true strength as a primary entity was not comparable to that of a doppelganger. He suddenly roared, "Get lost!"


    Whoosh! A dazzling golden light flashed by, ferociously striking at the raindrop.


    "Sss~"


    In a silent collision, Number Three''s charged attack instantly dissipated, and his entire body was violently thrown back, coughing up blood, his arms exploding into pieces.


    The entire figure plummeted towards the ground on all sides.


    He was severely wounded.


    "Boom~" Number Three crashed into the ground full of rubble, the terrifying force causing the earth to tremble, smashing a large crater and kicking up countless clods of earth.


    Number Three struggled to get up and thought to continue fleeing.


    Whoosh!


    But an invisible force was already surging in from all directions, pinning him down so hard that even flying became difficult.


    Whoosh! A rope suddenly descended from the void, instantly binding both his arms and legs.


    In the distance high in the sky,


    The light warped and then returned to normal as a figure in a black robe seemed to step out from the void.


    He walked right up to Number Three.


    Number Three stared fiercely at the other party, trying to struggle, but could not break free.


    "Shadow, I have been waiting for this day for a long time," said a young man in black with a faint smile. "The last time we met was over thirty years ago, wasn''t it?"


    "Over thirty years ago?" Number Three was stunned, then his pupils constricted as if he realized something and almost cried out, "You''re Fang Hai?"


    "To be commended, Shadow, you have a good memory," the young man in black replied with a faint smile. "Back then, you attempted to assassinate me three times; today, I set a trap once. Quite fair, I''d say."


    "It''s just a pity that your strength has improved too slowly. You were at the Thirty-First Level back then, and now you are still only at the Thirty-Third Level."

 Chapter 288: Chapter 220: Two Great Star Masters (Extra 20)

    "Cultivation is slow?" Upon hearing Fang Hai''s words, Number Three felt like vomiting blood.It had risen two levels in several decades.


    That was a very normal standard within the Flying Heaven Realm.


    After all, in most cases, when Flying Heaven Warriors mentioned peak Flying Heaven experts, they were usually referring to Level 35 martial artists.


    At the Flying Heaven level, the gap in strength between each level was very large.


    As for those above Level 36? They were not normally achievable within the Flying Heaven Realm and required extremely harsh foundational requirements.


    "Haha, it''s such a pity that I didn''t kill you back then," Number Three suddenly laughed ferociously. "Especially the third assassination attempt, just a little bit more, and if Bai Shan hadn''t arrived in time, you would have been dead for sure."


    "Just a little bit," Number Three thought with unwillingness.


    Decades ago, the most dazzling talent in the entire Blue Star and the Seven Star human civilization was Fang Hai.


    As the most terrifying assassin of the Tianliang Clan infiltrated within Blue Star, he had struck multiple times.


    Even risking assassination under the protection of a demigod, he failed.


    The third assassination attempt cost him his Blood Shadow Incarnation, but he still managed to retreat safely, just never getting another chance to assassinate Fang Hai.


    Because, after the third attempt, by the time he had cultivated another Blood Shadow Incarnation, Fang Hai had already entered the Flying Heaven Level.


    Fang Hai looked at his opponent calmly, not the least bit angry.


    "I can sense that you are still at the Flying Heaven Level," Number Three stared intently at Fang Hai. "At the Flying Heaven Level, yet you have grasped a trace of the Law''s mystery... Your talent is truly unbelievable."


    "The Seven Star human civilization has always propagated that you were trapped at the Flying Heaven Peak, but somehow, you have already reached this stage."


    He felt some hatred in his heart.


    If he was already so formidable at the Flying Heaven Level, what if he broke through to become a Demigod? With a stronger foundation and further comprehension of the Mystery of Heaven and Earth... How strong would he become? Number Three dared not even imagine.


    He could vaguely see that another terrifying existence, comparable to Dongfang Ji, was rising.


    And Fang Hai, so powerful yet deliberately not breaking through, what was he waiting for?


    Number Three couldn''t figure it out.


    "When I was a Prime Warrior, you couldn''t kill me," Fang Hai said faintly. "Now? My strength is not something you can fathom."


    "You indeed are formidable," Number Three stared at Fang Hai, his voice hoarse. "Tell me, how did you track me down?"


    This was his biggest confusion.


    His Blood Shadow Incarnation had died, and he thought he fled at the first opportunity. How did Fang Hai, a Flying Heaven martial artist, manage it?


    "No need to ask more," Fang Hai said faintly.


    Although he had captured his opponent, Fang Hai had no intention of revealing his secrets; there might still be ways for his opponent to send messages.


    A strange smile appeared on Number Three''s face: "Back then, even Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn''t track me, but you could... You must have cultivated some kind of tracking Star Technique with an extremely terrifying perception."


    "Haha, I''m certainly going to die," he said.


    "But Blue Star, as well as the entire Seven Star human civilization, will definitely be annihilated by us," Number Three suddenly laughed out loud.


    Laughing.


    "Boom~" A terrifying fluctuation suddenly exploded from within him, fierce and surging Origin Power roared, and then blasted out in all directions.


    The ropes that were originally binding Number Three couldn''t withstand such a terrible shock at all.


    Whoosh!


    "Origin Pill self-destruction?" Fang Hai frowned slightly and instantly retreated backwards, following the terrifying Origin Power shockwave that swept out like a storm in all directions.


    A tremendous shockwave also headed straight for Fang Hai.


    "Suppress!" Fang Hai pointed from afar.


    Rustle, rustle~ Countless raindrops appeared out of nowhere. In an instant, they condensed into an invisible giant hand that protected Fang Hai.


    "Rumble!"


    It was like the explosion of a small nuclear bomb; the whole world thunderously exploded, and the terrible impact covered several kilometers, the shockwave sweeping even further.


    Fang Hai was also engulfed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sky clouded over with threatening rain, which then poured down like a deluge.


    Not long after.


    On the desolate plain, everything quieted down.


    Except for a big crater at the original spot, and the shockwave traveling in all directions... It seemed as though nothing had happened.


    Who could have thought.


    A powerful Flying Heaven Warrior had just perished here.


    "Indeed a decisive move,"


    "I intended to be patient and talk until Bai Shan arrived," Fang Hai still stood in the same spot, frowning slightly.


    The Flying Heaven Level self-destruction couldn''t hurt him, it didn''t even dirty his clothes.


    Though his realm was profound, he was only in the Flying Heaven Realm after all; he couldn''t seal the Origin Pill of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    In short, if a Flying Heaven Warrior wanted to self-destruct in front of him, he couldn''t stop it.


    Of course.


    If Fang Hai had been decisive enough just now and immediately decapitated his opponent, Number Three wouldn''t have been able to self-destruct either.


    Fang Hai waited quietly in place, waving his hand. Many weapons lying on the ground fell into his hand.


    "There are some treasures," Fang Hai glanced over them briefly and paid no further attention.


    More than ten minutes later.


    Whoosh!


    A flash of white light appeared, and as the light solidified, an old man in white stood nearby; it was the Star Lord Bai Shan, who had interacted with Fang Hai before.


    "Is he dead?" Star Lord Bai Shan looked around.


    "He''s dead. He wanted to self-destruct his Origin Pill, and I couldn''t stop it," Fang Hai said faintly. "You''re too slow."


    "I rushed as fast as I could, arriving at the earliest moment," Bai Shan glared.


    Fang Hai smiled.


    He knew that the other party had been speeding over.


    "Did you gain anything?" Star Lord Bai Shan asked.


    "Isn''t killing the Infiltrator the biggest gain? As for the rest, as a top-notch Infiltrator, he wouldn''t leave too many clues," Fang Hai said softly.


    "Killing him is worth the many years I''ve lain hidden."


    "Yes, this was the only opportunity," Star Lord Bai Shan nodded. "Although I don''t know if the Infiltrator sent the message back, even if he didn''t... it''s enough for the Tianliang Clan to deduce many secrets." Read the latest on M V L


    "Let them guess," Fang Hai said indifferently.


    Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan had nothing to regret.


    Killing the Infiltrator and removing such a deeply embedded thorn from Xia Country and Blue Star was success enough.


    Whether it was the Tianliang Clan.


    Or for other Foreign Civilizations to produce a similar Flying Heaven Level assassin, it would also be extremely difficult.


    Now that the Shadow is dead, not only Xia Country, but also the upper echelons of various countries across Blue Star can breathe a sigh of relief.


    In the past decades, Fang Hai had been concealing his strength and even whereabouts, just to prepare a Killing Formation at the right moment.


    Even before that.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors didn''t even know that the Dean of Kunlun Martial University was the Starfire Blue Star Hall Master.


    "Go see Li Yuan,"


    said Star Lord Bai Shan. "Using him as bait for the setup without informing him in detail, you should still comfort him a bit to prevent any untoward thoughts from arising in his mind."


    "As a member of the Seven Star Civilization, one should have such awareness," Fang Hai shook his head gently. "How many things can be fully explained?"


    "When it comes to geniuses, after all, they are treated differently," laughed Star Lord Bai Shan.


    "There''s nothing different," said Fang Hai indifferently. "When he takes your place, he will do the same."


    Star Lord Bai Shan smiled and said no more.


    This time, the Killing Formation would definitely involve Li Yuan taking risks, including promotion and making public appearances.


    This was an open secret.


    It was to tell Alien Civilizations that indeed, here was a top-grade talent, and you have a great chance to assassinate him, and moreover, this is a trap.


    So.


    These Alien Civilizations either do nothing, and as soon as they consider taking action, they can only deploy their most top-grade infiltrating combatants to have any hope of a successful assassination.


    Therefore, Number Three came.


    Having escaped from a Demi-God''s hands on several successful occasions, Number Three had sufficient confidence.


    In fact, had Fang Hai not been there, Number Three would still have been able to escape unscathed¡­ what a pity!


    Fang Hai, this once targeted assassin, after decades had passed, now stood at an exceedingly high level, capable of supporting a sky for the entire human civilization of the Seven Stars.


    "Let''s go."


    "Li Yuan has entered the intermediate rank of the Fifth Stage and is also comprehending ''Meaning of the Stellar,''" said Fang Hai indifferently. "As the founder of this Secret Manual, you should meet him. You''re more suitable to guide his cultivation than I am."


    "Alright," Star Lord Bai Shan nodded.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two Star Lords quickly headed toward Kunlun Martial University.


    ...


    Kunlun Martial University.


    Dean Hai and a woman in white were still inside Li Yuan''s villa.


    Li Yang had also arrived.


    The previous celestial phenomenon at the school flashed by and went unnoticed by anyone other than a few Flying Heaven Warriors, and a select number of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists like Li Yang¡­ other teachers and students didn''t detect anything.


    When top-tier fighters clash, unless it''s intentionally done so, or their strengths are so close that the battle becomes uncontrollable,


    usually, the power is extremely focused, and the resulting disturbances are smaller.


    Li Yang cautiously waited at the side.


    Li Yuan was chatting with Dean Hai, mainly listening while the Dean spoke.


    Through the conversation, Li Yuan learned many secrets he had never known before.


    These were things never revealed on the virtual networks.


    Not even found in the database of the Starfire Martial Hall¡­ of course, it might also be that Li Yuan''s clearance wasn''t high enough.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan sensed something; Dean Hai and the woman in white both looked up.


    Whirr~


    A figure in black quietly appeared in the void above them.


    His features were rugged, and at first glance, he looked like a young man in his late twenties, but his eyes were very profound.


    "Dean," said Dean Hai in a situation where it was inappropriate to call him Old Fang.


    "Dean," the woman in white, Li Yuan, and Li Yang all bowed slightly, very respectfully.


    "You all stay here."


    "Li Yuan, come with me," said the young man in black indifferently, looking down at everyone.


    As he spoke, he turned and flew toward the high sky.


    Li Yuan was stunned at this scene.


    How can I follow? I can''t fly!


    The next second.


    Whirr~


    An invisible force suddenly enveloped Li Yuan and swiftly carried him towards the high sky.


    This force seemed gentle, yet it was overwhelmingly powerful, something Li Yuan couldn''t possibly resist.


    Whiz! Whiz! Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The man in black took Li Yuan soaring into the sky, and as they reached high altitude, the light around both of them faintly warped and they vanished from the sight of Li Yang, Dean Hai, and the others.


    "Dean, where did the Dean take Li Yuan?" Li Yang couldn''t help but ask.


    "He should be going to the Dean''s office," Dean Hai said.


    "The Dean''s office?" Li Yang was startled, suddenly recalling that there was no such office in the entire school.


    Could it be that the Dean''s office is in the sky?


    "Don''t ask too many questions," Dean Hai glanced at Li Yang. "Focus on your cultivation, and once you become a Flying Heaven Warrior and take my place, you''ll naturally find out where the Dean''s office is."


    Li Yang fell silent.


    ...


    "This place? Such a huge flying saucer craft?" Li Yuan looked around in astonishment.


    No matter what, Li Yuan had never imagined that such a massive flying vessel existed above the school.


    Standing in the campus, one simply couldn''t see this vessel.


    He and the man in black were now standing on top of the craft, which had an extended platform.


    Without thinking much, Li Yuan''s gaze involuntarily fell on the elder in white not far away.


    The elder wore a smile, appearing quite amiable.


    But!!


    Li Yuan''s heart trembled, for the elder''s appearance... was all too familiar.


    Li Yuan had seen him countless times, even having the elder''s commemorative statue in his home.


    "Are you... Senior Bai Shan?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.

 Chapter 289: Chapter 221 The Legend of the Seven Star Veins (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    "Haha, your gaze is certainly sharp," the elder in white laughed. "To recognize me in a single glance.""Who in Xia Country doesn''t know, doesn''t recognize the venerable appearance of you, senior?" Li Yuan said with a respectful smile.


    This respect was from the bottom of his heart.


    In terms of strength, naturally, Dongfang Ji was the more powerful, indisputably the first person of civilization.


    But within the bounds of Xia Country, if speaking solely of prestige, perhaps this elder held a higher place.


    This was the accumulation of years, not something merely suppressible by strength alone.


    "Li Yuan, using you as bait to set up a killing formation, you shouldn''t have any objections, right?" the man in black spoke indifferently, looking at Li Yuan.


    His gaze was very calm.


    "None at all, it''s what should be done," Li Yuan responded firmly. "I trust the principal''s decision."


    The education from an early age had long ingrained in Li Yuan this awareness... In a broader sense, the students of Martial Arts University were essentially pre-service soldiers.


    "Even with trust, this matter poses some risk to you. After all, that is a formidable Flying Heaven assassin," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile. "Of course, your principal is indeed powerful, far surpassing the Flying Heaven Level in some aspects."


    "Ultimately, the result was good," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly and couldn''t help but say, "Principal, Dean Bai Shan, I heard from Dean Hai just now... the one who died was that ''Shadow''s'' clone, right?"


    "I have found his true body and killed him," said Principal Fang Hai indifferently. Experience new stories with M-V-L


    Li Yuan''s heart jolted with surprise, growing even more curious about the principal.


    So powerful?


    "Li Yuan, don''t be too surprised," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile. "Your principal can do it, and in a few more years, once you reach the peak of Flying Heaven, maybe you''ll be able to do it too... perhaps even stronger than your principal."


    Li Yuan laughed and said, "The principal''s past deeds have always been a goal that encourages me to move forward."


    Just kidding, with Principal Fang Hai standing right there, how could one casually agree with such a statement?


    Perhaps Star Lord Bai Shan holds a higher status.


    But the current official is not as relevant as the current authority, so it''s still important to follow the principal''s lead.


    "Li Yuan," Principal Fang Hai finally spoke, "it was Dean Bai Shan himself who recently confirmed your selection for this year''s second-class Martial God Inheritance quota in our Xia Country."


    Li Yuan instantly understood the principal''s intent and immediately responded respectfully, "Thank you, Dean Bai Shan."


    "A small thing."


    "This quota, which we in Xia Country must select annually, historically, most geniuses chosen were not as excellent as you," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan with increasing favor. "Among the young generation in Xia Country today, you are the best, it is only fitting we chose you."


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    Fitting? Xia Country has a population of over two billion, with countless martial arts prodigies under 30 years old.


    It was only an existence like Star Lord Bai Shan who could regard this selection as trivial.


    "Li Yuan, killing the Flying Heaven assassin infiltrator from the Tianliang Clan, you''ve indeed earned great merit," Principal Fang Hai continued. "Additionally, in the Blue Star Grand Competition virtual battle, your Spear Technique advanced to the intermediate rank of Fifth Stage, truly exceptional."


    "Therefore, Dean Bai Shan''s visit today is not only to verify the identity of that infiltrator but primarily was to meet you," Principal Fang Hai said.


    "To meet me specially?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    He suddenly recalled what Dean Hai had said before, that the higher-ups in Xia Country placed great importance on him.


    Now, it seemed, this so-called higher-up...


    Was likely referring to Principal Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan.


    "Every year, I meet with the top geniuses that have emerged in our Xia Country," Dean Bai Shan said cheerfully and kindly. "Don''t be too constrained; Yu Jinghe was much more relaxed when he came to see me last year."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Relaxed?


    Yes! In theory, his potential talent might be higher than Yu Jinghe''s, but that was all theoretical.


    Yu Jinghe, he was someone whose combat power was on par with the Flying Heaven Level, with strength at hand, naturally he had more confidence.


    "Your core practice is the ''Stellar Spear Technique'' and the ''Meaning of the Stellar,'' right?" Star Lord Bai Shan continued.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded. This was no secret.


    "Dean Bai Shan is the founder of the ''Meaning of the Stellar,''" Principal Fang Hai said. "Many of the third-rank secret manuals openly available for free study in the alliance today were created by Dean Bai Shan."


    "Created by Dean Bai Shan?" Li Yuan was surprised.


    Long ago, he had wondered who could have created those third-rank secret manuals used for the mass study of Prime Warriors... Second-rank secret manuals were not difficult to create, even Li Yuan, if he spent the time, could hope to create one now, since they were just summations of methods in the use of Vigor.


    At most, they weren''t as refined as those thoroughly honed secret manuals.


    But third-rank secret manuals?


    This represented an artistic conception, one must achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, sensing nature itself... Like Li Yuan, currently, he could only cultivate on his own.


    As for summarizing a secret manual? Passing it on to successors? Li Yuan wasn''t capable of that.


    It was indescribable, indefinable.


    Just like how Li Yang and Dean Xu had taught Li Yuan before, they did so through repeated real combat... Letting Li Yuan himself experience the moves of Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Even the powerful virtual network could perfectly imitate techniques below the Fourth Level.


    But Fifth Stage Skills? It could only imitate up to 50%.


    "Haha, no need to be amazed, it''s just a manual that guides towards the true intent of heaven and earth," Dean Bai Shan said with a laugh. "When you reach the realms of your principal and me in the future, you''ll likely be able to create many similar manuals, guiding the younger generations."


    Li Yuan smiled.


    If only it were really that easy.


    By the looks of it, the whole of Xia Country might not even have a handful of people who reached the level of Principal Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan.


    "The Martial God Inheritance is the highest level of cultivation prepared for geniuses by the entire civilization; my Xia Country cannot provide that," Dean Bai Shan said with a smile. "But given your excellent performance, as your senior, I naturally should express some acknowledgement."


    Li Yuan''s heart caught in his throat; he knew the crucial moment had arrived.


    The two Star Masters coming to see me definitely wouldn''t just exchange pleasantries.


    Just like when elders meet juniors for the first time, they usually prepare a gift.


    "The two hardest paths in your upcoming cultivation, the first is Law Creation, which is essentially awakening Star Veins, and this point, you should be clear about," said Star Lord Bai Shan.


    Li Yuan nodded, "The junior understands, having perused many texts within the Martial Hall."


    Dean Fang Hai stood silently to the side, quite indifferently.


    "You have strong spiritual power and a high level of skill... And with many methods to guide you, awakening three Star Veins will not be difficult," stated Star Lord Bai Shan. "But I believe, Xiao Hai... that is, Dean Hai has probably told you that your body likely contains a higher Spiritual Nature." S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "He has mentioned it," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Your physical quality is improving very quickly, which is probably related to this," said Star Lord Bai Shan. "So, my advice is that in the Prime Warrior stage, you don''t need to rush into the Flying Heaven Realm."


    "Don''t need to rush?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "So-called physical talent is actually Star Vein talent."


    "Star Veins are the foundation of Origin Power, the basis of life," Dean Fang Hai suddenly said. "Your real ''Star Vein talent'' is extremely high, so try to awaken as many Star Veins as possible during the Prime Warrior stage... the more, the better, ideally four, five, or even six!!"


    "The more Star Veins you awaken, and the stronger each Star Vein is, the stronger your foundation will be, and the stronger you''ll become as a Flying Heaven Warrior," said Fang Hai.


    Li Yuan listened carefully.


    These were things he did not know before.


    "Star Vein talent involves, firstly, the number of Star Veins and, secondly, the number of Life Stars," stated Star Lord Bai Shan. "To become a Third Rank Flying Heaven Warrior, you must at least awaken three Star Veins. Otherwise, no matter how adept your skills are, it will be hard to break through...


    Becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior requires at least a 29.9 level physical quality, Fifth Stage Perfect Skill, 29 levels of spiritual power, and the awakening of three Star Veins."


    Li Yuan was all ears.


    These four requirements form the foundation of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "That''s just for achieving Flying Heaven. If you want to surpass Flying Heaven in the future, you must awaken even more Star Veins," Star Lord Bai Shan said earnestly. "Similarly, after advancing to the Flying Heaven Level, the more powerful your Star Veins are, the more you will continue to break through your limits and even have the chance to rival Demigods in terms of physical Origin Power."


    "Demigods?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "To surpass Flying Heaven is to achieve the Fourth Rank of Demigod," stated Dean Fang Hai blandly.


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    It turns out that transcending the Flying Heaven Level is to reach the Semi Divine Realm, which is also known as a Fourth Rank existence.


    "Flying Heaven Level can rival a Demigod at the basic level?" Li Yuan listened breathlessly.


    This was undoubtedly a great secret of the Martial Arts Cultivation path.


    "Li Yuan, what do you think is the level of physical Origin Power of a peak Flying Heaven Warrior?" Star Lord Bai Shan suddenly asked with a smile.


    "Flying Heaven Peak? Level 39, I guess," said Li Yuan as a matter of course.


    Star Lord Bai Shan and Dean Fang Hai exchanged a look and both smiled.


    "Wrong."


    "What we commonly refer to as peak Flying Heaven Warriors are at level 35," said Star Lord Bai Shan. "Whereas, Demigod Warriors are at least at level 40."


    Level 35?


    Demigods at level 40?


    "What about levels 36 to 39 then?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking, surely they couldn''t be vacant.


    "When Origin Power cultivation reaches level 35, that is the Flying Heaven Peak, and if the Skill Realm is sufficient, one can step into the Semi Divine Realm, which takes them directly to level 40," Dean Fang Hai explained. "However, to cultivate to level 36, one must awaken six Star Veins."


    "To cultivate to level 37 in the Flying Heaven Realm, you must awaken seven Star Veins."


    "And so on... In theory, if one could awaken ten Star Veins, they could cultivate to level 40 within the Flying Heaven Realm."


    "However."


    "Six Star Pulse, already signifies a dazzling genius."


    "Being able to cultivate to level 37 with Seven Star Veins is an inconceivable achievement, and it''s nearly legendary in the many Foreign Civilizations known to our human civilization, worthy of being called invincible in the same realm," said Fang Hai impassively. "As for more than eight Star Veins, it exists only in theory."


    Six Star Pulse?


    Seven Star Veins?


    Li Yuan listened, breath taken away with awe, as Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan seemed to be opening a great door for him!


    A door he had never known existed before.


    It turns out that the peak of a Flying Heaven Warrior is only level 35, not the 39 that he had imagined.


    It turns out that the more Star Veins one awakens, the more one can continuously break through the limits of life.


    "Likewise, the more Star Veins you awaken, and the stronger they are, the more fearsome the Star Techniques you''ll be able to cultivate will be."


    "The usual peak Flying Heaven Warriors are only at level 35, and they have no ability to withstand Demigods who are over level 40," said Fang Hai calmly. "But if one has a Six Star Pulse or Seven Star Veins, cultivating to the upper limits of level 36 or 37 within the Flying Heaven Realm, the fundamental gap with Demigods will greatly narrow...


    Coupled with the multiple Star Techniques cultivated from many Star Veins, it may be possible to parallel Demigods."


    "If the Skill Realm is even more sophisticated."


    "For instance ¡ª stepping into the threshold of Laws."


    "One may be able to truly rival Demigods with the body of Flying Heaven," Fang Hai spoke slowly, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes: "Or even, slay a Demigod!"


    "To slay a Demigod with the body of Flying Heaven?" Li Yuan was shaken to the core, filled with longing.


    He was well aware that the further one progressed in cultivation, the harder it was to fight across ranks.


    It''s not uncommon in human civilization for a First Rank Martial Artist to fight a Prime Warrior.


    But for a Prime Warrior to battle against one in the Flying Heaven Realm? That''s very rare, and each one is a top-tier genius.


    After all, which young Flying Heaven Warrior was not a genius of the Martial Path?


    Not to mention overcoming a Demigod?


    "In our Seven Stars human civilization, has anyone achieved this?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    Fang Hai fell silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Not yet!"

 Chapter 290: Chapter 222: Nine Layers Star Vein! Star Masters Teaching! (Requesting monthly votes)

    ```"No?" Li Yuan was surprised in his heart, he had thought Fang Hai could do it.


    After all, considering Fang Hai had killed the Flying Heaven level infiltrator ''Shadow'' before.


    Fang Hai''s strength must have reached a terrifying extent.


    "Li Yuan, even a 37th-level Flying Heaven is only approaching the foundation of a level 40 demigod," Star Lord Bai Shan seemed to perceive Li Yuan''s confusion and smiled, "But to truly compare to a demigod is extremely difficult."


    "Moreover, having strength comparable to a demigod and being able to kill a demigod are two different concepts."


    "Our Seven Star human civilization has encountered many foreign civilizations, and for a Flying Heaven level to kill a demigod... the difficulty is frighteningly high."


    "Not only must the foundation have Six Star Pulse or Seven Star Veins, but also several of these veins must achieve an extremely high rank, even Perfect Star Veins," said Star Lord Bai Shan, "Only then can one cultivate some extremely powerful Star Techniques."


    "Perfect Star Veins? Dean, Predecessor Bai Shan, what is a Star Technique?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    Discover hidden tales at M-V-L


    The Perfect Star Veins were described in the Starfire databank, such as in the summary left by Predecessor Dongfang Ji.


    But Star Techniques?


    It was only now, from Dean Hai''s words, that Li Yuan first learned of them.


    "The human body is like the universe, with the Life Star being its essence and treasure, and the Star Veins its core," said Fang Hai indifferently, "Origin Warriors absorb Origin Power, but only a small amount remains in the Star Veins, and they mainly fight using their physical strength."


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    Indeed, even a top-grade Origin Warrior mainly relies on physical combat.


    The power of the body is limited, whereas the power of heaven and earth is boundless.


    "Once one steps into the Flying Heaven Realm... Origin Power becomes robust, circulating within the body''s Zhou Tian, as if everything has a source, and the Life Star also transforms to an astonishing level and the Star Veins become capable of special deductions like the true universe, unleashing real might...


    This is what Star Techniques are," Fang Hai said, "Because each person is different, with different comprehensions and Laws, the Star Techniques they can cultivate naturally vary."


    "For example, ''Shadow'' cultivated ''Clone'' and ''Stealth'' Star Techniques, making him an extremely fearsome assassin," Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan had an epiphany, gradually forming a vague concept of his future.


    It seems.


    Star Techniques can only be cultivated by Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Star Techniques are cultivated based on the Star Veins and the practice is extremely stringent," the Star Lord Bai Shan at the side said with a smile, "You''re at level 19; you understand the difference in Law Creation. Can a Star Vein awakening 12,960 Life Stars be the same as one awakening 129,600 Life Stars?"


    "Not the same," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "The stronger the Star Veins, the more terrifying the power they can unleash," said Star Lord Bai Shan gravely, "We usually call the just-awakened Star Veins as First Layer Star Veins."


    "Each Star Vein, with every additional 12,960 Life Stars awakened, undergoes a fundamental transformation, gradually advancing to Second Layer Star Veins, Third Layer Star Veins... until the legendary Perfect Star Veins, also known as Tenth Layer Star Veins."


    "Some terrifying Star Techniques, like the ''Myriad Gold Divine Body'' cultivated by Dongfang Ji from our Seven Star human civilization, requires a Seven Layer Star Vein as the core and is famed throughout," said Star Lord Bai Shan with emotion, "Not many among the demigods can achieve it."


    "Legendarily."


    "There are some Supreme Star Techniques that can only be cultivated with a Nine Layers Star Vein," sighed Star Lord Bai Shan, "Our civilization has obtained several incomplete ones... but no one has been able to cultivate them."


    "In our Seven Star human civilization, over the centuries, some demigods and a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors have been born... among them were peerless geniuses with awakened Six Star Pulses."


    "But to deduce a Star Vein to Nine Layers? It hasn''t happened yet," said Star Lord Bai Shan shaking his head, "Seven Star Veins are legendary."


    "Similarly, awakening a Star Vein to the Nine Layers level is legendary."


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan appeared ''astonished,'' as if he was full of yearning.


    Yet, his heart was thumping wildly.


    Li Yuan really wanted to say, no one in human civilization can cultivate, but I can!!


    Nine Layer Star Vein? That''s nothing, I''ve awakened a Perfect Star Vein!!


    Unfortunately.


    Limited to his level 19, Li Yuan couldn''t speak up... Moreover, with the information revealed by Star Lord Bai Shan and Dean Fang Hai, Li Yuan could infer how miraculous the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was.


    A single Spiritual Guidance could let me awaken a Perfect Star Vein?


    Although the vast unawakened Life Stars were my own innate potential, without the help of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace''s guidance... Relying solely on myself, who knows when I could fully awaken them.


    Potential is potential.


    Turning potential into actual strength is what truly matters.


    The more he thought about it, the more Li Yuan felt that not exposing the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was a good thing.


    Of course, Li Yuan was not in a hurry about the few incomplete Supreme Star Techniques that the high echelons of civilization possessed.


    He was only at level 19.


    It wouldn''t be too late to find a way to get them once he became a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "Senior, can I understand it as, to raise the limit of the Origin Power in the body, one must awaken more Star Meridians?" Li Yuan summarized,"But to cultivate powerful Star Techniques, one must make a certain Star Meridian extremely strong."


    "Correct," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile,"The quantity and quality of Star Meridians are both very important."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The number of Star Meridians is to increase the lower limit of strength, like cultivating to level 36, level 37, even without cultivating powerful Star Techniques, one can still easily defeat a level 35 Flying Heaven Peak warrior with a strong foundation.


    The quality of Star Meridians, on the other hand, is to raise the upper limit of strength.


    Only with a strong foundation, combined with terrifying Star Techniques, can one hope to fight beyond one''s level and battle with Demigods.


    "The quantity of Star Meridians and Life Stars complement each other," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile. "Generally speaking, a Six Star Pulse talent can hope to awaken one or even two main Star Meridians to the Seventh Layer or above."


    "Seven Star Veins?" Li Yuan thought to himself,"Are they strong?"


    But he agreed with Star Lord Bai Shan''s theory, only with a sufficient number of awakened Life Stars can one awaken more Star Meridians... Like himself, many of the Life Stars he had awakened were isolated.


    But in the future.


    As he awakens more Star Meridians, many of the currently inactive Life Stars may belong to a new Life Star Vein, making the awakening of a new Star Meridian easier in the future.


    ...


    Li Yuan had many discussions with Star Lord Bai Shan and Dean Fang Hai.


    He gained a profound understanding of Star Techniques, Star Meridians, and more.


    He finally understood the most important thing at the Origin Martial Artist stage¡ªawaken more Life Stars! The more, the better. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The earlier you awaken Star Meridians, the better," Dean Hai said indifferently."The Origin Martial Artist stage is the fastest for awakening... Even after becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, one can continue to awaken Star Meridians, but the difficulty will skyrocket... Once one becomes a Demigod, the foundation is set, and it''s almost impossible to make any changes."


    Li Yuan suddenly realized, so that''s how it is.


    ```


    No wonder Star Lord Bai Shan said there was no need for me to rush into becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "It''s not too difficult to gradually advance the Star Meridian from the first layer to the second, to the third layer; this can wait until you''ve stepped into the Flying Heaven Realm to continue," Star Lord Bai Shan said, "But the number of Star Meridians will essentially be fixed by the time one reaches the Flying Heaven Warrior stage...


    This is a matter concerning a lifetime of cultivation and must be taken seriously."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded emphatically.


    One sentence.


    At the Prime Warrior stage, the quality of the Star Meridians can be overlooked, but the quantity cannot.


    "Our goal for you is to at least awaken five Star Meridians before stepping into the Flying Heaven Level," Star Lord Bai Shan said seriously, "You should have that potential."


    "Understood," Li Yuan committed it to memory and contemplated in silence.


    To awaken five Star Meridians? I''ve already awakened two Star Meridians now.


    It shouldn''t be too difficult, should it?


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan seemed to think of something and couldn''t help asking, "Is Senior Yu Jinghe trying to awaken more Star Meridians?"


    As far as I know.


    Yu Jinghe seems to be at the Sixth Stage of skill, yet he has never made a breakthrough; there must be a reason.


    Both Star Lords smiled.


    "You''re quite astute," Star Lord Bai Shan smiled, "Indeed, Yu Jinghe is continuously trying to awaken more Star Meridians; he now has five Star Meridians and is hopeful for the sixth."


    Li Yuan suddenly realized; so that''s how it is.


    "Your starting point is lower than his because he was naturally compatible with high-rank cultivation methods, and as soon as he became a Prime Warrior, he quickly awakened three Star Meridians," Star Lord Bai Shan said, "But this is only temporary."


    "In the future, you will definitely need to spend more time, but don''t be impatient, don''t be swayed by the noise of the outside world," Star Lord Bai Shan looked at Li Yuan, "You need to be able to endure the loneliness."


    What they were most worried about.


    Was that Li Yuan wouldn''t be able to endure this loneliness and would desire to step into the Flying Heaven Level sooner.


    ...


    "Ordinary Origin Warriors, struggling to reach Fifth Stage Perfection in their arts, already find it challenging."


    "They become Flying Heaven Warriors sooner, venturing into the Star Realm in search of opportunities, possibly with a better chance to reach Demigod, so the alliance''s higher-ups won''t force them to stay at the Prime Warrior level," Star Lord Bai Shan said, "But for someone like you, like Yu Jinghe, including your Dean when he was younger...


    You are all rare outstanding geniuses, and our expectations for you are extremely high."


    "Because you have high comprehension, profound skills, and the ability to maximize your potential."


    Li Yuan was listening intently.


    He had already sensed this point earlier.


    "The stronger the skill, the more it will nurture your soul to become stronger, making your perception of the Life Star more acute...


    In short, the more profound your skills, the more you can maximize your potential of the Star Meridian," Star Lord Bai Shan said earnestly, "As for awakening Star Meridians, we can''t help you, even though there are many experiences with cultivation techniques to learn from; in the end, it''s all up to you."


    "However, we can help you improve the level of your skills," Star Lord Bai Shan said.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    Help? How?


    Logically, understanding the mystery of the heavens and earth should also be a very personal matter.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh! Star Lord Bai Shan gently raised his hand, his fingertip touching Li Yuan''s forehead.


    Too fast, Li Yuan had no time to react.


    In an instant!


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s whole mind went blank, and even his Flying Heaven Level soul couldn''t help but shake.


    Hum~ Streams of information flowed directly into Li Yuan''s mind and, incredibly, imprinted themselves in his memory.


    It was magical.


    As if ''knowledge'' was being poured into his brain.


    Brain nourished.


    But before Li Yuan could think further, he was completely immersed in this wondrous change, absorbing the flood of information that came pouring in.


    This was a cultivation technique.


    To be precise, it was a Star Technique.


    Named "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein," according to the description in the information, it was incredibly magical... If one could cultivate it to the pinnacle of perfection, theoretically, it could greatly increase one''s compatibility with the Law of Earth, and drastically increase the chances of stepping into the threshold of the Law of Earth.


    But cultivating it was extremely difficult, with many challenges; not only did it require certain talents in the Star Meridian, but also numerous precious materials to assist in cultivation... very difficult.


    After a while.


    Li Yuan finally came back to his senses.


    He had noticed that the Star Technique he received wasn''t complete... It was just a small part, seemingly the introductory chapter.


    But it was already astounding.


    "How do you find this method?" Star Lord Bai Shan asked with a smile from the side.


    "It''s a miraculous technique," Li Yuan couldn''t help but marvel, "Theoretically, it enhances a person''s talent from the foundation up."


    "It''s just that the cultivation is extremely difficult; even just starting out requires an Earth Origin Crystal, which I can''t afford to cultivate."


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh!


    Star Lord Bai Shan flipped his hand, revealing a yellowish-brown crystal in his palm, emitting a hazy glow.


    The brilliance circulated, and the surface of the crystal seemed to stream with a divine aura, instinctively drawing one''s desire.


    "This is?" Li Yuan held his breath.


    "What kind of person is Star Lord Bai Shan? Having taught you the introductory chapter of ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,'' he naturally has prepared everything for you," Dean Hai said with a smile from the side, "This is a fourth-rank treasure, the ''Earth Origin Crystal,'' essential for cultivating this Star Technique and also a reward for you."


    "Take it."


    "With it, once you become an Origin Warrior, if you can resonate with the technique, you should be able to successfully start within a year."

 Chapter 291: Chapter 223: Introduction to Star Technique (Extra 21)

    "Within a year?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.That quickly?


    "Within a year, given your cultivation speed and skill level, you will certainly become a Prime Warrior, and there''s a high probability you''ll successfully awaken one or two Star Meridians," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile, "By then, with the assistance of the Earth Origin Crystal, you''d be able to attempt cultivating the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein''.


    Just mastering the introductory part isn''t difficult."


    "A Prime Warrior can cultivate Star Techniques?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    According to what was said before, Star Techniques should only be cultivated by a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    The two Star Lords exchanged smiles.


    "Star Techniques are divided into many categories, such as clone, stealth, protective, scouting, escaping technique, attack, and cultivation assistance..." Fang Hai said in a calm manner.


    "The more combat-oriented and powerful Star Techniques require the full burst of Star Meridian Origin Power... Their might is too strong for Prime Warriors to withstand, so it''s not recommended for them to cultivate these techniques."


    "However, Prime Warriors can still choose one or two supportive techniques to cultivate. ''The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' is one such supportive type of technique for enlightenment... Prime Warriors can start to cultivate it at their stage," Fang Hai continued, "Such methods, if there''s a chance, even Flying Heaven Warriors would choose to cultivate one."


    Li Yuan understood.


    Star Techniques like ''The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' seem not to directly enhance combat strength... but they can accelerate the comprehension of skills.


    Skills and Star Meridians are the foundation of cultivation.


    Only when these two aspects are strong can one continuously break through limits and strive for even higher realms in the future.


    What about combat-oriented Star Techniques?


    In a sense, they are not as important.


    "The ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' is indeed a rather magical Star Technique," Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile, "I also chanced upon the introductory part... With the Earth Origin Crystal, as long as you have a certain level of resonance with the Law of Earth, and with some time, cultivating it successfully isn''t difficult."


    "But if the level of resonance isn''t high, then it becomes very difficult to refine successfully," said Star Lord Bai Shan.


    "How can you determine the level of resonance?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    About Laws.


    Li Yuan had only read about vague concepts in some documents when browsing through the archives at the Starfire Martial Hall.


    They were too far-fetched.


    It was about the most fundamental mysteries of heaven and earth.


    "There''s no way to directly test it."


    "Heaven and earth nurture countless spirits, and each being is a completely independent individual, but there''s a general similarity in the bigger picture," Fang Hai at the side said, "Your previous cultivation of the ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique'' indicates you resonate with the invisible Earth Source Power."


    "Your cultivation of ''Meaning of the Stellar'' is incredibly smooth, showing you have the potential to comprehend the Stellar True Intent."


    "Stellar True Intent is just a very small part of the Law of Earth... from your previous signs, your resonance with the Earth Vein is very high."


    Li Yuan suddenly realized. So that''s how it is.


    Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan, their strength far exceeded his own, and they had much higher perspectives. They could infer many things from his past experiences.


    "Dean, I know the Sixth Stage skills are the ''True Intent of Heaven and Earth'', but at which skill level are the Laws?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    He was indeed curious.


    "Fourth Stage skills are about achieving extreme control over one''s body," Fang Hai patiently explained, "Fifth Stage skills gradually reach Unity of Heaven and Man, and upon reaching Fifth Stage Perfection, one''s movements become unified with the heavens and earth, each action drawing upon the power of nature."


    "Sixth Stage, the True Intent of Heaven and Earth, is truly comprehending the profound mysteries of nature to an extremely deep level... having grasped a hint of the true essence of the operation of heaven and earth."


    "Above True Intent is the Law."


    "Crossing into the threshold of the Law represents Seventh Stage skills."


    "The Law is the ultimate mystery of the operation of all things in heaven and earth, representing the essence," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said softly, "Star Lord Bai Shan teaching you ''The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' and giving you the Earth Origin Crystal also signifies his hope that someday you will cross that threshold of the Law."


    "You must understand that a single piece of Earth Origin Crystal is enough to make many Flying Heaven Warriors pursue it," Fang Hai said solemnly.


    "I will certainly not forget the kindness of Star Lord Bai Shan and will do my utmost," Li Yuan said earnestly.


    The Fourth Rank treasure ''Earth Origin Crystal''... To a Flying Heaven Warrior, it is an absolute treasure.


    To give it to a youngster like him.


    It''s very rare.


    "Haha, your Dean is making it sound too serious," Star Lord Bai Shan laughed, "Don''t bear too much pressure. You come from Xia Country, and I should certainly cultivate you with all my strength... ''The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' is not as magical as you imagine."


    "Its effectiveness depends greatly on the strength of the Star Meridian," Star Lord Bai Shan continued with a smile, "The stronger the Star Meridian you base your cultivation on, the better the results."


    "So, when you first start, the effect will definitely be mediocre, just a slight improvement, but the effects will get better and better as you progress."


    "The junior understands," Li Yuan said respectfully, yet a thought couldn''t help but stir within him.


    The stronger the Star Meridian, the better the cultivation effect.


    What if one were to cultivate with a Perfect Star Vein?


    "Mm, whether Star Techniques or spiritual power, they are merely aids, just ''amplifiers'' for your comprehension," Fang Hai spoke slowly: "Understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth, what''s important is your inner self."


    "These things can be relied upon, but not depended on."


    "Yes."


    ...


    Soon after.


    Dean Fang Hai sent Li Yuan back to the school, then quickly returned.


    "Not going to admonish him a few more words?" Star Lord Bai Shan joked.


    "Admonish what?" Fang Hai shook his head, "We''ve given him the best resources for cultivation, and in five months, he''ll head to Feixing where the Martial Hall''s ''Martial God Inheritance'' is one of the top resources of the alliance... The rest of the journey is his to walk."


    "How far he can go also depends on his own efforts and fortune."


    "Interfering too much might not be a good thing," Fang Hai said lightly, "No matter how much we help, we can only assist him in becoming a Flying Heaven level at most, can we really help him become a Demigod?"


    "Even I am not a Demigod," Fang Hai shook his head.


    "Haha, you really share the same temperament as your master." Star Lord Bai Shan laughed, "All right, since you''re the Dean, what you say goes."


    "I''ll be taking my leave, call me if there''s anything."


    "Sure." Fang Hai watched as Star Lord Bai Shan departed, then looked down thoughtfully at the continuous stretch of villas below.


    He pondered for a moment.


    "Seven Star Meridians? Law?" Fang Hai murmured to himself, and then the hatch of the flying saucer beneath his feet opened.


    Fang Hai walked straight in.


    ...


    Back inside his own villa.


    Dean Hai, Li Yang, and the white-clad woman had already received orders to leave.


    At this moment, the sun had just risen outside.


    But inside, Li Yuan''s heart was filled with excitement.


    The events of today had surpassed Li Yuan''s imagination.


    Before getting breakfast, what Li Yuan had in mind was how to work hard to win the championship of the Blue Star virtual combat competition.


    But this morning, he first encountered an assassination attempt by a stealthy Flying Heaven Warrior from an Alien Race.


    Then, two more Star Masters made their appearance in succession, that snap of a finger slicing through the heavens with a drop of rain¡­ In the end, the tales of the Ten-Star Meridian and the Nine Layers Star Vein further opened the door for Li Yuan to gaze upon a new world.


    One could say,


    the pointers from Fang Hai and Bai Shan reshaped Li Yuan''s understanding of the ''Transcendent Martial Way''.


    Perhaps, Li Yuan was still outside the door,


    but he could already see the world within.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan suddenly came to a realization, "Not good, I haven''t eaten breakfast yet, don''t let it get cold."


    ...


    After eating the still-warm breakfast, Li Yuan went back to the underground Martial Arts Room.


    The lights turned on, as if it were daylight.


    Li Yuan activated all the protections in the Martial Arts Room, took out a cushion, and then sat cross-legged on it.


    "Whew!"


    Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a clay-yellow crystal appeared in the center, radiating a hazy glow.


    It was the Earth Origin Crystal that Bai Shan had just gifted him.


    "A fourth-rank treasure, huh."


    "According to the data archives, treasures of this level simply cannot be valued with Blue Star Coins," thought Li Yuan to himself.


    This was quite normal.


    Currency, by nature, was issued by the human alliance, backed by the formidable martial force of Star Masters and Demigods, thus gaining recognition from Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors, and ordinary people alike.


    Therefore, for Star Masters, currency carried little significance.


    The treasures that could capture their attention certainly weren''t something Blue Star Coins could measure in value... No amount of money could buy them.


    Li Yuan gazed at the Earth Origin Crystal, understanding its worth by the mere fact that it was called a divine crystal.


    "If I hadn''t shown talent, I probably wouldn''t have been qualified to receive such a treasure," Li Yuan thought privately. "But should I use the Perfect Star Vein to cultivate it?"


    Whether it was Fang Hai or Bai Shan,


    they both believed that Li Yuan would need at least several months before he could start cultivating ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein''.


    However, Li Yuan himself knew that he could start at any time.


    To cultivate ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' required three major conditions: first, a certain compatibility with the Earth Vein.


    Second, the awakening of a star meridian.


    Third, skills must reach the Unity of Heaven and Man level, or spiritual power must be above level 29.


    Li Yuan met all the criteria perfectly.


    The only thing that made Li Yuan hesitant was which star meridian to use for the cultivation.


    "Using the Perfect Star Vein to cultivate would naturally yield the best results," Li Yuan thought. "But as the Dean just mentioned,"


    "Once a star technique reaches a certain level of proficiency, it leaves a deep imprint on the star meridian, making it very troublesome to reconstruct later on... Is it appropriate to reserve a Perfect Star Vein for merely an auxiliary star technique?" Li Yuan was somewhat hesitant.


    Star meridians are like a plot of land, and star techniques are like constructing on that plot.


    If the land is empty, anything can be done quite conveniently.


    But if a residential building has already been constructed, trying to change it into a pig farm? Naturally, that would be extremely troublesome.


    After much thought.


    "Let''s do this!"


    Li Yuan made up his mind: "Based on past experience, once my Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 50%, I should get another chance for Spiritual Guidance... And I will also keep awakening star meridians on my own."


    "Martial techniques just make me stronger during certain stages."


    "By cultivating ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' with the Perfect Star Vein, I can maximize the potential of this star technique," Li Yuan contemplated. "It will also allow my skills to progress faster."


    It was like the soul undergoing a transformation to reach the Flying Heaven level.


    Before and after the transformation, the efficiency with which Li Yuan practiced his Spear Technique and movement technique was completely different.


    "With sufficient mastery over the skill, I could hope to tap into the potential of my star meridians as much as possible during the Prime Warrior stage," Li Yuan was filled with anticipation.


    A Five-Star Meridian?


    No!


    Li Yuan''s goal was the Seven-Star Meridian! And even the Eight-Star Vein, which was already legendary among many Alien Races.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace gave Li Yuan enough confidence.


    ...


    Having thought everything through, Li Yuan no longer hesitated, calmed his heart, and with a thought,


    Sss~


    The Origin Power Battle Suit surged, completely placing the palm-sized Earth Origin Crystal on his abdomen.


    And it was completely wrapped by the battle suit, invisible from the outside.


    "Absorb," with a thought from Li Yuan, he immediately began to follow the cultivation directions of ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein''.


    The Flying Heaven level soul activated, sensing the Earth Origin Crystal.


    Star Meridian activate!


    Gradually, Li Yuan faintly felt the fiery-hot cluster within his waist and abdomen, as if it contained an unfathomable essence¡­ beyond imagination.


    "Sss~" "Sss~"


    Following the star technique''s guidance, that one Perfect Star Meridian within Li Yuan''s body moved, and countless light dots flickered on his body''s surface, beginning to absorb the essence from within the Earth Origin Crystal.

    "Boom!"


    A strand after strand of peculiar power penetrated through his skin, quickly spreading into Li Yuan''s body, and was swiftly absorbed by the only Perfect Star Meridian... This power was much purer than Origin Power.


    The most important aspect was that it seemed to contain a mysterious substance that quickly integrated into Li Yuan''s Perfect Star Meridian.


    In an instant!


    "The sensation, so vivid," Li Yuan was astonished within his heart, the strange power bestowed upon him made the feeling of countless light spots on that perfect star meridian exceptionally clear.


    129,600 Life Stars, all sensationally vivid.


    Far surpassing what he had ever experienced before.


    Moreover, every Life Star''s aura became immensely powerful¡­ as if they truly came to life.


    "Begin the attempt," thought Li Yuan.


    With a strong spiritual power enveloping each Life Star, he tried to mobilize the Origin Power within them.


    Attempting to form mysterious and profound Star Marks¡­ incredibly easily.

    Success!


    "Just like that, I''ve succeeded with one?" Li Yuan was stunned. "Didn''t Elder Bai Shan say that I should expect to fail hundreds of times at first?"

 Chapter 296: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)

    After a melee and eight rounds of knockout, one martial path genius after another emerged.In addition, the promotional videos of Li Yuan and Dantai Feng spread during the journey.


    It can be said that the fervor for the virtual battles of this Global Martial Arts Tournament for colleges had reached an apex.


    Whew!


    When Li Yuan leisurely practiced his Spear Technique, adjusted his mindset, and logged on punctually at 7:40 PM.


    As soon as he entered the competition space, he appeared in the Spectator Platform area belonging to ''Kunlun Martial University students.''


    Immediately.


    Whoosh! The ''broadcast screen'' high up in the battle space instantly focused on him, and Li Yuan''s face appeared on the big screen.


    Boom!


    "Li Yuan!"


    "It''s Li Yuan!!"


    "Li Yuan!" The competition space, with over six million spectators, erupted with a sound like a mountain roar and a tidal wave.


    Not just spectators from Xia Country, but those from most other countries were shouting his name as well.


    The cheers from millions of people all at once - what kind of concept was that?


    With a thunderous momentum that reverberated throughout the vast competition space, even Li Yuan, who had just come online, was given quite a shock.


    "This many people?" Li Yuan, hearing the earth-shaking cheers, was somewhat stunned.


    Spectators from Xia Country were understandable, but why were spectators from other countries so excited?


    "Haha, Brother Yuan didn''t expect it, did you? Your popularity is frightfully high," Gu Qianghan excitedly laughed, "You are practically famous around the world."


    "I didn''t expect it," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "Senior Brother, you and Dantai Feng are now worldwide sensations. Haven''t you seen your V-blog followers? It''s already over 40 million, that''s a global following," An Nong said excitedly.


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    Forty million followers? Was that an exaggeration?


    Li Yuan had been focused on training these past two days, not logging onto the virtual network, so he really wasn''t aware of these things.


    You should know that the virtual network operates a strict real-name system; under full network monitoring, ''zombie fans'' basically don''t exist ¨C this is genuine popularity... He could be compared to top-tier global celebrities.


    "Can''t be helped,"


    "Previous short videos were certified by Starfire Martial Hall, and the praises were boundless," An Nong said with a sigh of admiration, "Blue Star''s number one talent of the contemporary era! The pillar of human civilization who may surpass the Flying Heaven Level in the future!"


    Li Yuan couldn''t help shaking his head.


    The principal and Star Lord Bai Shan overexaggerated to attract the hidden Flying Heaven Level members of the Alien Race.


    But the result was good.


    More than ten seconds later, the broadcast video switched to other finalists, and the shouts about Li Yuan subsided quite a bit.


    Only in the Kunlun Martial University area, a large number of spectators were still excitedly waving their hands towards where Li Yuan was.


    "It''s a bit too crazy."


    Li Yuan sat down and shook his head, "Shouldn''t everyone cheer for Senior Brother Jin? Senior Brother Jin also made it to the top twenty in the finals."


    "How can that be the same?" A magnetic and robust voice came from behind Li Yuan, "You are absolutely dominant, defeating Hoffman and directly entering the finals, while I barely made it into the top twenty. How could it be the same?"


    "Senior Brother Jin?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up as he turned to look.


    When he was unaware,


    Jin Huguo had already taken a seat behind him. He had a square face, not particularly handsome but with a rugged hard man''s presence.


    With their exchange, Gu Qianghan and An Nong beside him dared not to speak.


    Among the nearly ten thousand students at Kunlun Martial University, the status of Li Yuan and Jin Huguo was transcendent.


    After all, even ordinary teachers were not as skilled as they were.


    "Senior Brother jests," Li Yuan laughed, "With your strength, you might even make it into the top three."


    Li Yuan had researched his main competitors.


    For example, he had watched Harmon''s real fight, which was the battle against Jin Huguo, several times.


    In Li Yuan''s view, Jin Huguo''s skill level was not far off Hoffman''s, and if he was weaker, it was by not much.


    "Don''t flatter me," Jin Huguo chuckled and shook his head, "Whether I can get into the top ten is a matter of luck... As for the top three, there''s not a sliver of hope."


    "As for you, Junior Brother,"


    "Fight hard! Aim to take first." Jin Huguo smiled, "Our school has never won first place in the virtual battles of the Blue Star Championship. "


    "Or rather, ever since the inception of virtual battles, looking globally, the champion of every edition has always been taken by one of the three top-tier martial schools, without exception," Jin Huguo said seriously. "Never an exception." S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "No exception?" Li Yuan paused.


    He knew Kunlun Martial University had never won the virtual battle championship, but from Jin Huguo''s meaning... if he could claim the championship, it would not only be creating history for Kunlun Martial University.


    In a sense, it would also be creating a new history for the tournament, breaking the monopoly of the three top-tier martial schools over the virtual battle championship.


    "Li Yuan," Jin Huguo said emotionally, "haven''t you noticed that among the top twenty finalists, aside from you and me, and a martial path genius ''Alicia'' from Europa, the other seventeen are all from the three top-tier martial schools?"


    Li Yuan nodded slightly ¨C indeed, that was quite striking.


    But on second thought, it made sense.


    Even among the five famous schools of Xia Country, perhaps only a senior would occasionally emerge as a Fifth Stage student.


    But a Fifth Stage student before their junior year? That''s too difficult.


    Jin Huguo, for instance, was a rarity for Kunlun Martial University in recent decades.


    "That Alicia is actually a bit like you," Jin Huguo laughed, "She also hasn''t awakened her Martial Spirit, and thus didn''t get into Black Stone University... Her Comprehension can''t match yours, but it is also extremely astonishing."


    "To break through to the Fifth Stage by her junior year is already very impressive," Jin Huguo said earnestly.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Around the world, even if one hasn''t awakened their Martial Spirit, as long as they have high Comprehension, there are many ways to gradually rise.

 Chapter 297: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)_2

    As Li Yuan and Jin Huguo chatted, time slipped away until it was finally 7:58.The competition''s start time was drawing closer and closer.


    Suddenly, buzz~ buzz~ two fluctuations materialized from nowhere, sweeping past Li Yuan and Jin Huguo simultaneously.


    Both of them vanished at the same moment.


    When they reappeared, they found themselves in the center of the grand competition space, surrounded by the massive battle platform.


    It wasn''t just the two of them; other unparalleled geniuses like Yin Man, Zhu Tong, Dantai Feng, Hoffman, Kunale, Nevsky, and the like also materialized around the platform.


    "Alicia," Li Yuan couldn''t help but glance at the blond, blue-eyed woman.


    She, like him, had not awakened her Martial Spirit.


    ... As the twenty ultimate talents who made it into the finals appeared, the entire competition space immediately erupted, with countless spectators from all over the world madly roaring the names of contestants.


    "Raja!"


    "Kunale, we from Tianzhu are the strongest."


    "Nevsky, kill Harmon!"


    "Li Yuan! Yin Man! Take the first place." Numerous voices rose, everyone cheering for their country''s finalists.


    Without a doubt, Li Yuan''s name was called out the loudest, which was a testament to his popularity.


    ...


    "Ladies and gentlemen, after ten days of brutal competition, this edition of the global..." the burly host in black appeared once again, his voice thundering across heaven and earth: "More than six million contestants fiercely vied for the top, and at last, we have selected twenty Martial Path geniuses."


    "They are Blue Star''s strongest twenty talents in skills this year!!"


    "And today''s finals will decide the top ten, top five, and eventually the very first place in one go!!"


    "First place means Blue Star''s number one!!


    "The top three talents identified today will soon represent Blue Star on the distant Feixing to compete against the most prodigious geniuses from the Six Great Planets!!" the host spoke with impassioned voice.


    Stirring the voices of all the spectators.


    Timely music also started playing.


    "Wow! The number of spectators has already exceeded six million!! Haha, this is absolutely unprecedented."


    "Alright."


    "Next, I will introduce the top twenty contestants one by one. They are Yin Man, Li Yuan, Bai Chuanming..." Each time the host announced a name,


    the entire competition space rang out with earth-shaking roars, Explore stories on M-V-L


    echoing the names of each contestant.


    At last.


    After announcing the last contestant''s name.


    "It''s already past eight o''clock," the host''s voice turned somber: "First off, we will begin with the ''Twenty to Ten'' first round of the finals, and the matches will follow ranking by total points earned in the melee battles, with the first-ranked fighting the twentieth, second against nineteenth, and so on..."


    "Therefore, the first match of the first round will be Yin Man versus Hades!" the hosts'' voice rose once again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The twenty contestants who were originally surrounding the battle platform were instantaneously teleported into it.


    "Yin Man," Li Yuan immediately turned to look, considering her one of his most important competitors.


    As for Hades? Li Yuan had no deep impression of him.


    The other contestants were also watching intently, seizing the opportunity to understand the abilities of their potential next-round opponents.


    ...


    Since both parties'' Physical Quality was set at level 18, the diameter of the battle platform was 300 meters.


    Over six million people were watching.


    Upon the battle platform, Yin Man and Hades wasted no words and immediately burst into combat.


    This battle ended very quickly, but it left the spectators and contestants alike in shock.


    Because!


    Yin Man was terrifying, as with just a single sword, she defeated the brilliant ''Hades'' from the knockout stages.


    From start to finish, Hades barely stood a chance to resist, completely overwhelmed by Yin Man.


    In the end,


    Yin Man secured the first spot in the top ten.


    "Yin Man!"


    "Invincible!"


    "The most beautiful Yin Man!" Millions of spectators from Xia Country cheered excitedly.


    ...


    "What a terrifying Yin Man!" Harmon, Nevsky, and other peerless talents all marveled at Yin Man''s swordsmanship and felt the pressure.


    After all, according to the data, Yin Man was best with dual swords.


    If she could easily defeat ''Hades'', also of the Fifth Stage, with just one sword, how terrifying would she be once she unleashed both swords?


    ...


    "Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage,"


    "Indeed, Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage. Another one, including Li Yuan and Nevsky, that makes the third one," many Flying Heaven Warriors discussed among themselves in the higher Spectator Space.


    More than a hundred thousand Prime Warriors came to watch today, but there were even more than a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Today is the finals, and the Star Master didn''t come?"


    "Not sure."


    "Let''s wait and see, maybe he will come for the final showdown," many Flying Heaven Warriors who came to watch were actually hoping to meet the Star Master.


    Unfortunately, the Star Master didn''t show up today.


    While these Flying Heaven Warriors were having their discussion, the second match had already ignited.


    ...


    The second battle, between Nevsky and Hoffman, erupted between two super geniuses from their respective nations.


    But in a brief moment, the battle was over.


    Once Nevsky''s Axe Technique fully unleashed, a succession of axe lights cascaded continuously, crushing Hoffman outright.


    In the end, Nevsky captured the second spot in the top ten.


    ...


    The third match, Dantai Feng against ''Yu Mingwei'' from Xia Country, another talent,


    was a civil war within Xia Country.


    Unavoidably, due to the rules, with Xia Country occupying six spots of the top twenty, an internal battle was bound to happen.


    This fight was bitterly contested by both sides.


    And against most spectators'' expectations, Dantai Feng emerged slightly superior, enduring his severe injuries to win over Yu Mingwei. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Haha, won! Won!" Dantai Feng''s eyes shone with light, one of his arms completely broken, blood flowing.

 Chapter 298: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)_3

    But Dantai Feng didn''t care at all."Broke into the top ten!"


    "As a freshman breaking into the top ten, that''s a historical moment for Xia Country. Back in the day, Yu Jinghe, as a freshman, only made it to the top twenty." Dantai Feng laughed out loud.


    He even couldn''t help but look towards Li Yuan, grinning: "Li Yuan, I made it to the top ten before you did."


    Dantai Feng knew that his chances of breaking into the top five were very slim. Making it to the top ten was already a miracle.


    "Bai Shan, you truly go beyond our ancestor in both strength and age." Dantai Feng mused to himself: "One session of guidance, and I''ve improved this much."


    Li Yuan, had received help from the higher-ups of Xia Country.


    Similarly, Dantai Feng had also received gifts from the elders of Xia Country.


    Every genius, in their growth, will have their own opportunities.


    ...


    "Dantai Feng''s sword and shield coordination has gotten even stronger."


    "Yu Mingwei actually lost?" The other contenders all secretly marveled; most had thought that Dantai Feng would lose.


    ...


    The fourth match, the fifth match... one peak duel after another, the ones eliminated were all at the Fifth Stage.


    And those Fifth Stage experts who remained were only going to be more fearsome.


    It quickly came to the seventh match¡ªLi Yuan against Kunale!!


    As the two were teleported into the duel arena, the sky erupted with earth-shattering roars; this was a battle that everyone was watching.


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Li Yuan!!" Millions of Xia Country''s spectators were all shouting.


    "Kunale!" sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Kunale." Nearly a million spectators from Tianzhu Country were equally unabated.


    Spectators from other countries felt a bit emotional... The cheer from these two populous countries far surpassed those from other nations.


    ...


    On the duel platform.


    "Li Yuan, everyone says you''re the top genius of Blue Star''s current generation, with high hopes of winning the championship, but I don''t buy it." Kunale, with his high nose bridge and pale skin, stared intently at Li Yuan: "I will prove to everyone that I am the strongest."


    "Bring out all your strength, so you won''t have excuses after you lose."


    "After I defeat you, I will advance to the top five, and from there, claim the championship." Kunale had full confidence.


    As Tianzhu''s ''Number One Genius,'' his fame was indeed considerable.


    "Alright." Li Yuan smiled faintly: "Out of respect for you, I will bring out all my strength."


    Boom! Boom!


    Both sides exploded with power, rushing toward each other, clashing like lightning.


    Kunale was an expert of the sword and shield art, with extremely exquisite Sword Technique and unparalleled Shield Technique.


    This was also the reason why many people, despite not favoring him to win, believed he could hold his ground against Li Yuan for a long time.


    But...


    When they truly crossed swords, Kunale suffered a crushing defeat... in just over ten lightning-fast exchanges.


    "Pfft!"


    With a spear that cut across the vast sky, Li Yuan''s Long Spear had already pierced directly through Kunale''s neck.


    Slain!


    Kunale, defeated!


    "I thought he was stronger than this." Li Yuan quickly retracted his spear, slightly shaking his head: "Such a big name... But to me, he seems probably even worse than Hoffman."


    Thump~ Kunale''s body heavily fell to the ground.


    "Asking me to go all out? Too weak."


    However, Li Yuan also knew in his heart that it wasn''t that Kunale was truly weak, but rather that his own strength had increased.


    ...


    "What?"


    "How is this possible!"


    "Kunale lost so quickly?"


    "Li Yuan!!" Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, and other victorious contenders all changed their expressions, with shock filling their eyes.


    So strong!!


    Before the finals, most of them had analyzed Li Yuan, especially his duel with Hoffman; these Martial Path prodigies had concluded¡ªLi Yuan was good at defense, not offense.


    But now?


    With Kunale going all out on defense, he couldn''t even withstand more than ten thrusts under Li Yuan''s fierce attacks?


    This level of Spear Technique was significantly stronger than what Li Yuan had displayed when he defeated Hoffman.


    ...


    "That''s just sick." Dantai Feng muttered to himself.


    He was quite shocked in his heart: "He just broke through to the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage during the melee... Has he become so much stronger in less than ten days?"


    Dantai Feng thought that his own progress was fast enough.


    But compared to Li Yuan? The gap seemed even bigger.


    "Could it be, Li Yuan has got one of those Spear Technique leveling systems from novels?" Dantai Feng couldn''t help but think: "Why don''t I have such a show-off system? Then my progress would surely be just as fast."


    Aside from practicing, Dantai Feng occasionally read web novels.


    ...


    "Such impressive Spear Technique."


    "Truly beautiful."


    "Meaning of the Stellar, can attack power really be so strong? His spear skills must have seen substantial improvements." Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher Spectator Space were also quite astonished.


    Most of them had anticipated Li Yuan would win.


    But for him to win this easily? It went beyond their expectations!


    "Haha, I previously thought Yin Man was stronger than Li Yuan, but now I''m not sure anymore."


    "Me, too."


    ...


    "Li Yuan won!"


    "Li Yuan rocks." Xia Country''s millions of spectators were exhilarated, screaming frenetically.


    Because, with Li Yuan''s victory, Xia Country''s six great prodigies now had three who advanced to the top ten.


    Zhu Tong and Jin Huguo hadn''t competed yet.


    The only one eliminated, Yu Mingwei, had actually lost to an internal fight... this success rate was astonishing indeed.


    ...


    Quickly, the last three matches of the first round of the finals came to an end one by one.


    Zhu Tong lost, defeated by Sakura Country''s number one prodigy, ''Bai Chuanming.''


    "Bai Chuanming''s Swordsmanship."


    "So fast."


    "Such a formidable Sword Technique." Many spectators exhaled in admiration, even the already qualified top ten contestants like Dantai Feng and Raja showed grave expressions.


    Only in terms of Sword Technique power, it seemed that Yin Man''s swordplay was faster and more ferocious.


    Your next journey awaits at M-V-L


    But in terms of speed, Bai Chuanming''s Sword Technique was faster... Definitely the fastest among all the Weapon Techniques of the Martial Path prodigies in the finals so far.


    In the world of martial arts, speed is unexcelled.

 Chapter 299: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)_4

    Absolute speed itself signifies tremendous might....


    The first round of the finals, the tenth match.


    Jin Huguo won!


    He and another martial arts prodigy "Alvis" fought a fierce battle, lasting over ten minutes.


    It was the longest fight among the ten matches.


    Keep in mind, most of the previous fights ended within three minutes, as all participants didn''t have Origin Power Battle Suits for protection, and the fights were close combat. A slight lapse was all it took for a fatal consequence.


    The fact that the fight reached a staggering ten minutes shows that the strengths of both sides were exceedingly close.


    Eventually, Jin Huguo won by a hair''s breadth... The calmness tinged with madness in the final stage of the battle shocked countless spectators.


    "Senior Brother Jin is really impressive."


    "In terms of strength, he and Alvis are neck and neck," Li Yuan marveled silently, "Perhaps Senior Brother Jin''s actual strength is slightly weaker, but his decisiveness in life-and-death situations far surpasses his opponent."


    Li Yuan questioned if he could have done any better himself in such decisive moments.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but think of the battle between Jin Huguo and Harmon.


    Though clearly inferior in strength, Jin managed to nearly reach mutual destruction against Harmon with his terrifying battle awareness.

    the top ten of the virtual battle were all selected!


    ...


    In front of over six million spectators,


    the time had arrived at nine o''clock in the evening.


    "Yin Man, Dantai Feng, Li Yuan, Jin Huguo, Bai Chuanming, Harmon, Raja, Nevsky, Alicia, Amos," the host announced excitedly, "let us congratulate these ten geniuses, they are the top ten of this session''s virtual battle."


    "Li Yuan!"


    "Yin Man!"


    "Harmon." Millions of spectators were extremely excited, many even waving their arms.


    Especially the over one million Xia Country spectators, they were ecstatic!!


    "Haha, four out of the top ten geniuses are from our Xia Country."


    "It''s a pity that if Dantai Feng and Yu Mingwei hadn''t faced each other, maybe we could have had five spots."


    Occupying four out of the ten spots indeed stood out.


    However, those who were most excited and frenzied were the students and teachers of Kunlun Martial University.


    Because among the ten spots, Kunlun Martial University accounted for two ¨C Li Yuan, Jin Huguo.


    ...


    In a higher-tier spectator space,


    "Haha, two of the top ten geniuses are from our Kunlun Martial University," Li Yang boasted proudly to the surrounding Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, "Old Liu, look at your school, it hasn''t had a top ten for so many years."


    "Look at you, so smug."


    "Over such a small matter."


    "This Li Yang always loves to show off," vice-principals from Xia Country''s other four famous schools couldn''t help but mock.


    "What do you mean ''show off''?" Li Yang glared, "This is called confidence! If you had students this amazing, you''d be more confident than me."


    "Don''t think I don''t know what you guys are like."


    ...


    The top ten geniuses of the virtual battle were selected.


    After only ten minutes of rest, the second round of the finals was about to begin ¨C the top five.


    The matches would be randomly paired by the virtual network system.


    "Good!"


    "The pairing is complete," the host stated solemnly as he looked at the freshly printed list of match orders, "In the top five, the victor of each fight will break into the top five, and then the final round will determine the champion."


    "I announce, the first fight of the second round."


    "Li Yuan versus Bai Chuanming!!" the host''s voice was full of vigor.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan and Bai Chuanming were instantly transported to the ring, immediately drawing the attention of countless viewers.


    These two,


    one hailed as the number one talent of the current era from Blue Star.


    The other had just shown formidable strength and was considered by many to have a chance to break into the top five.


    And now they were clashing together.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Bai Chuanming, you are the strongest."


    "Bai Chuan will definitely take the championship," cheers thundered from the Spectator Platform from countless Xia Country and Sakura Country spectators.


    ...On the ring. Enjoy more content from M-V-L


    "Li Yuan, your strength is indeed formidable, but I will not give up," Bai Chuanming, gripping his sword tightly, stared fixedly at Li Yuan.


    "Your sword is very fast," Li Yuan said calmly, holding his long spear with a slight smile, "Come on, let''s see how fast your sword can be."

 Chapter 304: Chapter 227 The Number One of Blue Star (Extra 24)

    "How could the power contained in this spear be so much stronger than mine?" Nevsky could hardly believe it.It should be noted that he is an intermediate-rank, fifth-stage martial artist too.


    In theory, even if Li Yuan''s skill realm was somewhat higher than his, the pure strength gap shouldn''t be this substantial.


    When one''s skills reach the fourth level, the difference in weapons becomes minimal, and after stepping into the fifth stage, the difference is even smaller, because every high-rank fifth-stage martial artist''s skill level is so high it is nearly a path.


    They place more emphasis on the harmony of mind, body, and the universe, seeking to harness more of the power of heaven and earth.


    Weapons? They are more about fitting with one''s own heart and intentions.


    Take, for example, the third-rank secret manual "Meaning of the Stellar"; why isn''t it called "Stellar Spear"? To achieve this level, whether it''s a spear or an axe, it all follows the heart.


    Just like Li Yuan.


    Ordinary people use spears, naturally excelling at attacking.


    But with the skill realm of "Meaning of the Stellar", when using this mindset to control weapons, Li Yuan''s spear technique for defense becomes far more powerful than his attacks.


    Facing Nevsky, Li Yuan was clear in his mind that winning with ordinary killing moves was very unlikely.


    Nevsky''s chosen path suited the battle axe extremely well, and he was very adept at attacking.


    Therefore, without a moment''s hesitation, Li Yuan launched his strongest move¡ªGalaxy Spiral.


    "I refuse to believe this." Nevsky roared angrily, his body springing into motion once more. He stepped fiercely across the platform, each step making the platform tremble faintly as if mountains were crumbling and the earth was splitting apart.


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, looked at his opponent impassively, motionless.


    Boom! At the moment Nevsky was about to get close, he finally struck down at Li Yuan like a fierce tiger.


    Whoosh!


    He leaped up, raising the battle axe high, unleashing all his vigor, and with everything he had, he chopped down fiercely with his axe.


    This blow, fueled by Nevsky''s anger, was unquestionably the most powerful he had ever unleashed in virtual combat.


    Nevsky believed that even Yin Man wouldn''t dare take on this blow head-on.


    Finally.


    Li Yuan moved, and indeed, he no longer took the blow head-on; he launched a counter-attack. His speed exploded to its peak within 0.3 seconds, surpassing 110 meters per second.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan leaped up too.


    Facing a full-force sprint from Nevsky, Li Yuan did not retreat an inch; on the contrary, he chose to clash head-on. At that moment, the two were like two terrifying meteors colliding.


    "Swish!" Li Yuan suddenly thrust out his spear, and the spear light bloomed, spreading layer upon layer like a starry river erupting, like a dazzling galaxy with countless stars revolving around its center.


    Threads of starlight converged at the center.


    At that moment, Li Yuan, with his long spear in hand, seemed to transform into a huge vortex, drawing upon the mysterious powers of heaven and earth, creating a most astonishing twisting and absorbing force.


    And his spear met Nevsky''s roaring incoming battle axe with a thunderous collision!!


    "Rumble~"


    The terrifying collision, the dreadful aftermath, the shockwave spread visibly in all directions.


    "Bang~"


    The horrifying impact force sent Nevsky flying backward, his body tumbling heavily onto the ground.


    Then, he rolled over, getting up on one knee.


    "Pfft~" A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out of Nevsky''s mouth, the boiling sensation in his blood finally easing somewhat.


    "I''m injured." Nevsky moved his thoughts and could clearly sense the pulled muscles in his arm.


    Throughout his body, countless minute injuries had appeared.


    What about Li Yuan then?


    In such a head-on clash, Li Yuan merely flew back several meters before stopping in his tracks.


    As if unaffected by any impact at all.


    The victor had been decided.


    "Li Yuan''s strength," Nevsky slowly rose to his feet, fixating his gaze on Li Yuan.


    Never understanding why Li Yuan''s strength was so terrifying, but Nevsky knew that strong was strong.


    Li Yuan''s strength indeed far surpassed his own.


    "What''s the name of that move?" Nevsky''s voice was hoarse.


    "Galactic Stream Vortex," Li Yuan replied calmly, aware of how formidable this self-created killing move was.


    This move was best at defense.


    Yet, when used for a head-on collision, its might was still terrifyingly great, surpassing any of the moves in the Stellar Five Styles.


    "Good."


    "I concede wholly to you, convinced both in heart and word," Nevsky took a deep breath, "Come, defeat me completely."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded. If he hadn''t created this move, he might not have been able to defeat Nevsky.


    Boom! Li Yuan moved once more, his figure darting forward at a terrifying speed.


    "Whoosh!"


    The long spear thrust out, with a terrifying screeching sound that echoed through the vast sky, striking at Nevsky.


    ...


    In the higher-level Spectator Space, over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors were stunned by this spectacle.


    After their initial shock, over a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors began to express their admiration and amazement.


    "A True Intent Killing Move."


    "Indeed, it''s a True Intent Killing Move."


    "If the first move wasn''t quite clear, now there''s no doubt about it."


    "It''s certainly a True Intent Killing Move."


    "The most difficult hurdle to overcome to reach Fifth Stage Perfection has just been breached by him."


    "Truly an exceptional prodigy," the Flying Heaven Warriors chatted among themselves, feeling somewhat emotional.


    Just as with the Fourth Level in skills, one gradually penetrates deeper in controlling the body, until at Fourth Level Perfection the spirit reaches subtlety, and one''s strength will surge, utterly overwhelming any at the High Rank of the Fourth Level.


    The Fifth Stage follows the same principle.


    Unity of Heaven and Man at the Fifth Stage, from the Initial Rank, Intermediate Rank, to High Rank, is all about deepening the comprehension of nature, a continual accumulation of quantity without any real qualitative change.


    The force of heaven and earth that one draws upon isn''t really considerable.


    Only by stepping from the High Rank of the Fifth Stage to Perfection, does one achieve a fundamental difference.


    Why can one ascend to the Flying Heaven Realm upon reaching Fifth Stage Perfection?


    The heart of the matter lies in the two words: ''True Intent.''


    The extreme limit of the Fifth Stage High Rank signifies that one''s accumulation of quantity has reached its zenith, and one must endeavor to integrate the manifold comprehensions of heaven and earth, truly seeking the essence of the workings of the cosmos¡ª the Mysteries of True Intent.


    Upon comprehending even a hint of the Mysteries of True Intent, and being able to manifest that hint through a certain specific killing move, one can significantly enhance the might of the technique.


    This is what constitutes a True Intent Killing Move.


    Also known as a True Intent Killing Technique.


    Once a True Intent Killing Move has been comprehended, as long as one''s comprehension of the cosmos reaches an exceedingly high level, one can naturally transition from the High Rank of the Fifth Stage to the Perfection Level.


    To put it simply.


    Even among Flying Heaven Warriors, many have only comprehended a few True Intent Killing Moves.


    And as Flying Heaven Warriors comprehend more True Intent Killing Moves, say five or six similar techniques, their comprehension of True Intent grows deeper.


    Until one day, when every move can contain the Mysteries of True Intent, transcending the need for True Intent Killing Moves, that is when one truly ascends to the Sixth Stage of skills¡ªTrue Intent.


    And Li Yuan.


    He is still far from that level, and the might of this newly-created True Intent Killing Move is not very strong, but it''s enough to astonish the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Because it signifies that, as long as Li Yuan progresses step by step in his cultivation from the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, to High Rank, and then to Perfection... virtually nothing will stand in his way.


    ...


    "True Intent Killing Move?"


    "Li Yuan!" Li Yang and Dean Xu, sitting in the back rows, were both greatly shocked, with speculations arising in their hearts.


    "It must be," Dean Xu couldn''t help saying, "Otherwise, his spear technique wouldn''t possess such power, completely overwhelming Nevsky."


    "To grasp a True Intent Killing Move at only Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?" Li Yang shook his head, "This! This!"


    They were indeed shocked.


    Normally, one would need to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, reach the limit of Fifth Stage High Rank, and accumulate quantity.


    Then, seek a breakthrough in quality.


    "His move is still immature, but it has already surpassed us in essence," Dean Xu couldn''t help but sigh, "Perhaps, this is what a true genius is."


    "A genius that we never dared to imagine."


    ...


    On the stage, the showdown between Li Yuan and Nevsky had reached its final phase.


    Clash after clash, lightning-fast.


    Even though Li Yuan did not deliberately pursue ending the fight, his spear technique burst forth time and again, its power far surpassing that of Nevsky.


    Each clash inflicted considerable damage on Nevsky''s body.


    After hundreds of consecutive collisions, Nevsky could no longer withstand them, and was grazed across the throat by Li Yuan''s long spear.


    Defeat!


    To this point, Li Yuan had consecutively defeated three of the previous top five experts, Harmon, Alicia, and Nevsky, also achieving a three-win streak.


    He was just one battle away from his last fight with Yin Man.


    ...


    "He won just like that?"


    "Wasn''t Nevsky supposed to be strong?" the countless spectators from all over the world murmured in disbelief.


    "It''s not that Nevsky is weak, it''s that Li Yuan is too strong. I even feel Li Yuan might be stronger than Yin Man."


    "Terrifying Li Yuan." The numerous voices of discussions filled the air, and perhaps the vast majority of the spectators couldn''t recognize the mysteries of a ''True Intent Killing Move,'' but they could see that Li Yuan''s strength far exceeded that of Nevsky.


    "He''s won."


    "Li Yuan has defeated Nevsky."


    "The final battle is coming up next," the innumerable spectators from Xia Country were exceedingly excited.


    Because, both Yin Man and Li Yuan, who completed a three-win streak, were from Xia Country.


    One could say that even before the final showdown had started, it was already destined that the champion would be from Xia Country.


    For the millions of Xia Country spectators, this meant they didn''t need to worry about who would win, allowing them to fully enjoy watching the final match.


    "Senior brother."


    "Li Yuan, you must win." However, tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University were growing even more nervous.


    Champion!


    Just one last fight remained.


    ...


    Without making all the spectators wait too long, the tenth match quickly erupted.


    Li Yuan versus Yin Man.


    Both competitors, since the beginning of the free-for-all bouts, had swept through their respective Star Realm battlefields with absolute dominance, brutally making their way into the finals.


    Before the finals, there hadn''t been a single opponent who could cause them any obstruction.


    Both were overwhelmingly strong, cutting their way to the end.


    However.


    This highly anticipated mightiest showdown was nearly predetermined before it had even started.


    Atop the stage.


    "I cannot win against you," Yin Man sighed lightly, her eyes filled with complexity.


    "Won''t you try?" Li Yuan smiled. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Since your last battle, I''ve understood that I cannot win." Yin Man spoke slowly, "However, for the sake of honor, I''ll still fight with all my might."


    Yin Man had an extremely high perspective.


    In terms of skill, her level might be even higher, but she had yet to create her own True Intent Killing Move.


    Thus, the outcome of this battle was nearly certain.


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded and moved first, taking the initiative to strike.


    This was the first time Li Yuan took the initiative to engage in combat in the finals.


    This battle.


    The fight between them was incredibly fierce, with Yin Man''s swordsmanship dazzling¡ªher twin swords in hand truly revealed her terrifying strength¡ªsword light like flowing water, madly pouring onto Li Yuan''s long spear.


    But.


    When Li Yuan executed the move "Galactic Flowing Rotation," all those countless sword lights fell, only to be ceaselessly neutralized by the mysterious power of heaven and earth, and easily blocked by Li Yuan.


    Almost standing on invincible ground.


    With every clash, Li Yuan could easily deflect the impact, but the horrible force left Yin Man wounded time and again.


    Finally, after a thousand exchanges, Yin Man''s body could no longer withstand the repeated impacts, injuries reaching their limit, her body completely broke down, and her power and speed sharply declined.


    She was struck in the neck by a thrust from Li Yuan''s spear.


    Victory.


    "If I hadn''t created ''Galactic Flowing Rotation,'' based purely on skill level, I wouldn''t be your match," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He had immense respect for Yin Man, whose level of skill was definitely above 40% of the Fifth Stage.


    But, the advantage in skill couldn''t make up for the disparity in the power of a True Intent Killing Move.


    To exhibit a higher realm, one needed sufficiently powerful techniques.


    "I''ve won."


    "Virtual battle, first place." Immediately, Li Yuan''s mouth also revealed a slight smile.


    ...


    "He''s won!"


    "First place! Blue Star''s first place! Li Yuan!"


    "He''s made history, the first virtual battle champion not from the top three martial arts schools." The millions of spectators in the Spectator Platform were completely boiling with excitement.


    Especially the tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University, who were utterly ecstatic.


    They had won!


    Virtual battle champion, Li Yuan!!


    ...


    "Thank you, Li Yuan and Yin Man, for bringing us an exciting pinnacle showdown," the host''s voice trembled with excitement: "Congratulations to Li Yuan for capturing the championship!"


    "This is the first time in history the champion is a first-year student!"


    "This is the first time in history the champion is a student from outside the top three martial arts schools."


    "I announce."


    "This year''s Global University Martial Path Tournament, has come to a perfect close!"

 Chapter 305: Chapter 228: Fame Shakes the World! Treasure Harvest! (Extra 25, 26)

    ```The global university martial arts competition virtual battle has ended, and students from all over the world have left the competition space.


    "Li Yuan is too fierce."


    "It seems that Nevsky and Yin Man were almost on par with him in the fight, but on closer thought, they weren''t able to shake Li Yuan at all."


    "Indeed brutal."


    "A freshman winning the championship! This is the first time in history."


    "Awesome."


    "Coming to watch the battle and witnessing history with my own eyes." Millions of students were discussing with each other, all quite excited, and the topic of discussion was almost always about Li Yuan.


    There was no way around it.


    It was occasional for a sophomore to break into the top ten of a virtual battle, but to win the championship? In the history of the Blue Star competition virtual battles, there were only two instances of a sophomore champion.


    One of those instances was Yu Jinghe.


    A freshman taking the championship? That was a first in over thirty years, and what''s more, the champion wasn''t even from one of the three top martial arts institutions... which made it even rarer.


    In the subsequent decades or even longer, it would probably be very difficult to have such an achievement again.


    ...


    "Awesome!" Gu Qianghan''s eyes shone as he almost hugged Li Yuan tight, "Brother Yuan, you really are awesome! Champion, haha."


    Li Yuan had returned to the Spectator Platform and smiled.


    At this moment, Li Yuan felt tens of thousands of gazes upon him, burning hot.


    Too enthusiastic.


    "The big brother is really strong."


    "It''s the first time in history a freshman has won the championship, and it''s someone from our school." The tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University had converged into a sea of joy: "Haha, the students from the three top martial schools are so powerful, but in the end, they all lost to big brother."


    "Truly gratifying."


    "What genius is better than Li Yuan the genius." At this moment, the students of Kunlun Martial University felt proud by association.


    ...


    In a higher-level Spectator Space.


    "Haha, yes, he''s my student." Dean Hai was conversing with other Flying Heaven Warriors, smiling: "I didn''t teach him much, just casually taught... But still, Li Yuan respects me a lot, he often comes to ask me about cultivation issues." S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What? I don''t cultivate the Earth Vein?"


    "Is that important?"


    ...


    "Who had the most influence in cultivating Li Yuan? It must be Dean Hai''s primary guidance," Li Yang was boasting to other Top Grade Origin Martial Artists from different schools: "But Dean Hai is very busy."


    "On regular days, it''s definitely me who teaches him the most. I''m his direct teacher, after all."


    ...


    Li Yuan winning the championship surpassed the imagination of most people, even those who were the most optimistic about him had never imagined Li Yuan would sweep a group of top-tier geniuses from their second and third years and forcefully take the championship.


    As predictable.


    As time passed, the news of the championship victory would quickly ferment and spread across the globe... further solidifying his title as "the number one prodigy of the contemporary Blue Star."


    ...


    Under the night sky filled with stars, inside the saucer-shaped aircraft above Kunlun Martial University.


    Inside the Quiet Cultivation Room.


    Whoosh!


    A young man in black, Fang Hai, was meditating with his eyes closed; around him, countless blue glimmers were flickering, making his presence seem all the more ethereal and unpredictable.


    Suddenly.


    "Master! Hai Yi requests communication." The voice of the assistant AI rang out.


    The young man in black gently opened his eyes and said softly, "Answer."


    Beep! The communication was established!


    "Old Fang." Dean Hai''s voice came from the communication, sounding a bit excited: "The virtual battle has ended. Why didn''t you come to watch the final today?"


    "No point," the young man in black said dismissively.


    For Fang Hai, the first time he watched the battle was to fully assess Li Yuan''s strength and potential.


    Having seen it once, to keep repeating it was meaningless.


    In his heart, Fang Hai valued his own strength more and was more confident in himself.


    "Damn, you think it''s pointless? You are the principal!" Dean Hai complained, "Li Yuan has made history for the school. Guess which place Li Yuan took?"


    "Which place? Second or third, I guess," Fang Hai said softly. "In terms of strength, he shouldn''t be a match for Yin Man."


    As one of the top figures in Xia Country.


    Having decided to give the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot to Li Yuan, Fang Hai naturally had a good understanding of Yin Man''s strength.


    "Hehe."


    "You can be wrong too." Dean Hai laughed aloud: "Let me tell you, Li Yuan crushed Yin Man and won first place!! Li Yuan is the virtual battle champion."


    Fang Hai was suddenly taken aback.


    Champion? Impossible!


    He was very confident in his own judgment.


    "Shall I tell you about it in detail?" Dean Hai asked with a smirk: "I''ll tell you..."


    "No need," Fang Hai said coolly: "It''s just a virtual battle championship, fine, I got it."


    Beep~


    Fang Hai abruptly hung up the call.


    ...


    "Damn!"


    In a villa, Dean Hai looked at the ended call and couldn''t help but complain: "This guy always acts all aloof in front of me, definitely going to secretly watch the video again."


    When Fang Hai was still a Prime Warrior, he and Dean Hai had ventured together through life and death situations, forming a deep friendship.


    Almost like brothers.


    For that reason, Dean Hai could be so uninhibited in front of Fang Hai.


    ...


    Inside the saucer-shaped aircraft.


    "True Intent technique?" Fang Hai was looking at the light screen projection in front of him, which was displaying the final battles between Li Yuan, Nevsky, and Yin Man.


    As a Star Master of the alliance, he had high-level access, allowing him to view various videos at will.


    "He reached Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage in such a short time, and he has already realized a True Intent technique?"


    "Is his comprehension so high?" Fang Hai murmured to himself.


    Giving the caliber of Fang Hai''s position and strength, for him to use the word "high" was enough to prove his inner surprise.


    After a moment of silence.


    "Well, that''s fine," Fang Hai revealed a slight smile. "When he goes to Feixing, perhaps he will give the Master a big surprise."


    Then.


    Fang Hai passed the message on to the other two Demigods of Xia Country before turning off the light screen projection.

    Li Yuan performed very well, exceeding his expectations.But in the end, he only possessed Fifth Stage skills and his physical quality was only at level 19... there was still a long road to go before he truly grew up.


    ...


    In the midst of excitement and noise.


    Li Yuan didn''t delay for too long and soon left the virtual network, exiting the virtual network pod.


    All was quiet.


    "Everything is indeed just as I expected," Li Yuan reflected silently.


    "The killing move I created inadvertently is unbeatably powerful, now no one will be able to stop me," Li Yuan contemplated.


    When he created the move "Star River Whirl" during the day, Li Yuan had already felt confident enough to claim the championship.


    Actually, Li Yuan still didn''t know that this move was a "True Intent Killing Move"; he just felt that this move could perfectly channel the power of heaven and earth and could fully exhibit his own understanding.


    "Yet, it''s still not strong enough."


    "Continue cultivating."


    "Fighting against these Fifth Stage masters has indeed revealed many of my own deficiencies," Li Yuan reflected after many battles that evening, naturally leading to numerous new insights.


    But turning these insights into thorough understanding required more cultivation.


    Cultivation in the Martial Path and advancement in Spear Technique didn''t come from empty thoughts, they were achieved through practicing one spear move after another.


    Li Yuan left the resting room, took a weapon from the weapon rack beside him, and went to the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    "Hmm? That''s not right?"


    "It''s past midnight?" Li Yuan glanced at the smart ring on his wrist, which displayed a time reminder.


    Every night after midnight marked the beginning of a new round of cultivation.


    "Let''s start with the Visualization Method."


    Having just won the championship, Li Yuan naturally felt excited and even a bit overwhelmed.


    After all, winning the championship as a freshman was indeed making history.


    But when he returned to the underground Martial Arts Room of his villa at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan quickly calmed down, recalling the teachings of his uncle.


    "Today''s achievements are because of yesterday''s efforts!"


    "And tomorrow''s achievements?" Li Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes shining: "Are because of today''s efforts."


    "Therefore."


    "To have great achievements tomorrow as well, I must not slack off today! I cannot relax."


    "Li Yuan, continue working hard," Li Yuan set aside the joy of winning the championship and returned to a state of peacefulness within.


    He placed the Black Chen Spear aside.


    Li Yuan sat down cross-legged and began a new round of Visualization Method cultivation.


    His consciousness flowed into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, entering the grand Jade Platform... and began suppressing the proud sun that was rising again.


    It was very painful! Arguably torture!


    Yet Li Yuan enjoyed it, enduring wave after wave of the scorching light of All Heavens'' Stars and feeling his consciousness growing stronger.


    ...


    While Li Yuan was immersed in cultivation, the news of his championship had spread across the globe with astonishing speed.


    "First place! Li Yuan has won first place."


    "Virtual combat champion, the peerless genius Li Yuan, truly deserving of the name ''genius.''"


    "If you marry, marry someone like Li Yuan."


    "Sweeping away all geniuses, the future pride of the Human Race," countless posts and short videos spread wildly, attracting a huge number of people.


    Although under the surveillance of the virtual network, there was no transmission of the final battle video.


    However, the related news was not controlled.


    Whereas the previously spread promotional videos were debated over whether or not he truly was Blue Star''s number one genius of his generation... the moment he overpowered everyone to clinch the virtual combat championship as a freshman.


    All debates vanished into thin air.


    Every advantage has its disadvantage.


    As the results of the tournament spread wildly across the virtual network, the information was naturally also relayed by many spies hidden on Blue Star through special channels into some parts of the Star Realm.


    Foreign Civilizations were also highly concerned about a peerless genius like Li Yuan. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    The outside world was buzzing with activity.


    But within the underground Martial Arts Room in Li Yuan''s villa at Kunlun Martial University, it was exceptionally quiet.


    Two hours of the Visualization Method, two hours of "All Heavens'' Stars"... At four in the morning, Li Yuan came to his senses, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.


    He began a new day''s Spear Technique cultivation.


    "The light of the Star River gathers into a swirl, its defensive power is terrifying, it easily blocked Nevsky and Yin Man''s attacks," Li Yuan held the Black Chen Spear, contemplating his technique: "But it''s not enough, the power of my Star Whirl is still not strong enough."


    "Especially when facing Yin Man."


    "Her sword is extremely fast, with continuous attacks... If it were just a bit faster, it might have been able to rip through my Spear Whirl defense," Li Yuan was acutely aware of this.


    There was no such thing as an absolutely invincible defense.


    If it couldn''t be breached? Then it only means that the attacking power is not strong enough yet.


    "I must continue to cultivate and try to further enhance the power of this move," Li Yuan thought: "Relying solely on this move makes me very passive in a real battle."


    In arena duels where there must be a victor, having a strong defense is very advantageous.


    But in the real world, other masters could simply flee... A defensive killing move could only save one''s life but made it hard to kill the enemy.


    "To kill the enemy."


    "Then, I''d better craft an attack killing move," Li Yuan contemplated: "Meaning of the Stellar... transitioning from defense to offense."


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! While Li Yuan was pondering, his Black Chen Spear followed his thoughts and danced, generating dazzling and fearsome Spear Light.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had completely immersed himself in the cultivation of Spear Technique, earnestly trying to validate his thoughts and ideas... in order to achieve a breakthrough in his technique.


    Hum~


    Silently, light flickered within Li Yuan''s body from his Perfect Star Vein, increasing his resonance with the "Law of Earth" that mysteriously operated throughout heaven and earth.


    The Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein," being part of the Ninefold Star Technique, was not to be underestimated even though Li Yuan had only cultivated it to the 6th level...


    Perhaps.


    Other martial arts prodigies who made it into the top hundred or top ten were still reveling in joy... but Li Yuan had already dedicated his entire being to the next phase of cultivation.

 Chapter 307: Chapter 228: Fame Shakes the World! Treasure Harvest! (Additional Chapters 25, 26)_3

    ```...


    Starfire Martial University.


    In the early hours of the morning, just after six o''clock, Dantai Feng woke from his sleep and went down to the Martial Arts Room to begin a new day of training.


    "There probably aren''t many who are as hardworking as I am," Dantai Feng thought, and then he began to seriously practice his Sword Technique.


    "Li Yuan is so strong,"


    "If we were to fight all out, I fear I couldn''t hold him off for long," Dantai Feng recalled the battle scene from yesterday involving Li Yuan.


    He was too strong.


    "Dazhuang has also made rapid progress, reaching Subtlety so quickly," Dantai Feng mused to himself, "I need to keep pushing myself."


    In his bones, Dantai Feng was not one to admit defeat.


    Barely half an hour later.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, your great ancestor is calling you," the assistant AI''s voice rang out.


    "Great ancestor?" Dantai Feng was first startled, then he quickly realized and immediately said, "Answer it."


    Hum~


    Countless rays of light converged to form a light screen projection, in which appeared a middle-aged man with white hair. His skin was smooth, but his eyes were filled with a sense of age and wisdom.


    "Great-great-grandfather!" Dantai Feng said respectfully.


    The grandfather of one''s grandfather is indeed the great-great-grandfather.


    The Dantai family is one of the top great families in Xia Country, powerful... Dantai Feng might seem carefree, but he was well aware that the high position of his family hinged on the white-haired middle-aged man before him.


    One of the three Demigods of Xia Country¡ªDantai Lie!


    He is also one of the highest echelons of the entire Seven Stars human civilization.


    "Xiaofeng," the white-haired middle-aged man smiled slightly, a hint of indulgence in his eyes, "The Blue Star competition virtual battle has ended. How do you rate yourself? How many points out of ten would you give?" S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Nine points," Dantai Feng said with a smile.


    "Oh? And the one point?" the white-haired middle-aged man asked curiously.


    "I''m afraid of being arrogant, so I deducted one point," Dantai Feng shrugged his shoulders, as he was always very open in front of his great-great-grandfather.


    "Haha, so you''re saying you''ve given yourself full marks?" the white-haired middle-aged man laughed, not blaming Dantai Feng for his pride.


    Dantai Feng was his most outstanding descendant, and he was very satisfied with Dantai Feng''s performance.


    "Are you planning to go to Feixing this year, or wait until next year?" the white-haired middle-aged man asked


    "Can I go?" Dantai Feng was taken aback.


    To his knowledge, although a few exceptional talents are selected in theory, this happens very rarely.


    "You broke into the top ten of the virtual battles in your freshman year, why can''t you go?" the white-haired middle-aged man said with a smile, "These Martial God Inheritance spots are not set in stone."


    "Understood, I leave the decision to great-great-grandfather," Dantai Feng nodded.


    "Alright, let it be decided then," the white-haired middle-aged man said indifferently, "By the way, how is your relationship with Li Yuan?"


    "Not bad," Dantai Feng nodded.


    He wasn''t surprised at all that his great-great-grandfather mentioned Li Yuan... Such an exceptional talent would soon become known to the most pinnacle beings of human civilization.


    "Good, I''ll prepare a gift for him," the white-haired middle-aged man nodded slightly, "Try to get along well with him when you go to Feixing."


    "In the future, you both might become Star Masters or even Demigods in the alliance... It''s very important for you to stay united,"


    "Yes, great-great-grandfather,"


    ...


    In the distant Wanhan Star Realm, at its depths,


    Within a secret location belonging to the Tianliang Clan beneath the continuous glaciers, inside a majestic palace.


    "Another improvement?"


    "He truly is the newest rising superstar of the Seven Stars human civilization," a figure in a purple robe reviewed the data on the light screen in front of him, which was full of text messages.


    The texts described some of the scenes from the virtual battle finals... but there were only words.


    No video of the finals!


    Hum~


    The light screen before the figure in the purple robe suddenly trembled violently. Following that, the screen flickered, and it now displayed a figure in white clothes, her face as cold as frost and quite beautiful.


    But it didn''t evoke the slightest desire, only awe.


    "Demigod," the figure in the purple robe immediately said respectfully.


    "Zi Xin," the voice of the figure in white clothes was icy cold. She stood in the light screen projection, yet her voice echoed in the vast palace.


    The figure in the purple robe bowed even lower.


    "Number Three is dead," the figure in white clothes said emotionlessly, "I''ve verified it through a secret technique... no mistake, it was you who arranged for him to assassinate Li Yuan, wasn''t it?"


    "Number Three is dead?" The figure in the purple robe was shocked.


    He was not yet aware of this.


    New information traveled very difficultly between Blue Star and Wanhan Star Realm, and to avoid detection by the Seven Stars human civilization, unless it was a special circumstance, they rarely made contact with each other.


    "Demigod, how could Number Three die?" the figure in the purple robe couldn''t help but say, "He had mastered both the Blood Shadow Incarnation and Shadow Stealth secret techniques... even a Demigod would have a hard time tracking him down, right?"


    If it came to a direct confrontation, a Demigod could easily crush him, of course.


    But why was Number Three renowned as a fearsome assassin? It was his fearless Incarnation and the difficult-to-track Stealth technique.


    "The reason is not yet clear,"


    "The chances are high that the Seven Stars human civilization has developed the ability to counter moves like Number Three''s," the figure in white clothes said coldly, "Order all Infiltrators to enter a dormant state temporarily, until the time comes for them to be activated again."


    "Yes," the figure in the purple robe said in succession, unable to restrain himself from adding, "What about Li Yuan? What should we do?"


    "Give up," the figure in white clothes said coldly, "Number Three was the strongest force we could deploy, and the assassination attempt failed... While there are Flying Heaven Warriors in the Seven Stars human civilization who are willing to trade with us, mostly it is limited to passing on information."


    "To kill Li Yuan? That''s almost certain death, and they will certainly not take such a risk."


    "We can only wait, wait for Li Yuan to enter the Wanhan Star Realm... I believe he will come, and at that point, we''ll find a way to deal with him," the figure in white clothes said, "To take care of these alien geniuses, patience is required."


    "Yes," the figure in the purple robe nodded.


    In his mind, he thought, after all, you''re the boss, you call the shots.


    ```

 Chapter 308: Chapter 228: Fame Shakes the World! Treasure Harvest! (Additional Chapters 25, 26)_4

    "Additionally,""transmit Li Yuan''s information to the Cloud Beast Civilization, those fools... might make a move." the figure in white said.


    "Understood, I will do it immediately."


    ...


    The virtual battle ended.


    Li Yuan won the championship, Jin Huguo broke into the top ten... These were historical moments for Kunlun Martial University, and the school naturally promoted them heavily, even holding a special commendation ceremony.


    But as time passed, Li Yuan''s heart no longer surged with much emotion; he was more focused on his subsequent cultivation.


    He devoted himself to cultivating.


    Time swiftly moved to February 21, and the aftermath and heat of the virtual battle gradually faded.


    Two o''clock in the afternoon.


    Li Yuan''s villa welcomed two special guests.


    "Dean Hai, Lord Yang of the Province," Li Yuan said in surprise as he looked at the two who had suddenly visited.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors had come together.


    "Li Yuan, this is our first meeting, isn''t it?" Lord Yang of the Province said with a hearty look, her voice gentle.


    She wasn''t incredibly beautiful, but she had an extraordinary aura and appeared to be in her thirties. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Indeed, this is the first time meeting the Hall Master in reality," Li Yuan replied with a slight bow.


    Although it was his first time meeting Lord Yang of the Province, Li Yuan has long been grateful in his heart.


    At least, she had always valued him.


    "Li Yuan, Lord Yang of the Province is here on orders to see you specifically," Dean Hai said with a smile from the side.


    "On orders?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Lord Yang of the Province, already in charge of a province, wielding vast power... whose orders could she be following?


    "Yang Xian, you tell him," Dean Hai said with a smile, "I won''t interrupt you."


    "Alright."


    Dean Hai took a step, and with a flash, he had already flown out of Li Yuan''s villa.


    ...


    Li Yuan and Yang Xian sat on the couch.


    "Lord Yang of the Province, what is this about?" Li Yuan asked, unable to hold back his confusion.


    "I''m here, first, to confirm your championship reward from the virtual battle," Yang Xian said with a smile, "the cash reward of 20 billion has been transferred to your account."


    Just seconds later.


    Li Yuan''s smart ring vibrated, and looking down, he saw that his account had indeed received a message about the 20 billion Blue Star Coins.


    "Isn''t it said that I could choose equivalent Heavenly Materials Treasures?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Wait until I finish, and you will understand," Yang Xian said, "Don''t rush."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Secondly, on the command of the Star Master ''Dantai Lie''," Yang Xian continued with a serious expression, "I am here to give you a congratulatory gift for winning the virtual battle championship."


    "Star Master Dantai Lie?" Li Yuan was stunned.


    In a moment, Li Yuan thought of Dantai Feng... it was inevitable, the surname was too rare.


    However.


    Why would this Star Master give him a gift?


    "Hall Master, does Star Master Dantai Lie have anything to do with Dantai Feng?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Dantai Feng is his descendant," Yang Xian said with a smile, "After so many years... this is the first time Star Master Dantai Lie has directly presented a gift to the virtual battle champion."


    "Star Master Dantai Lie must hold you in high esteem," Yang Xian said.


    "Hmm," Li Yuan listened.


    A person who could become a Star Master was at least close to invincible within the Flying Heaven Realm, doubtlessly powerful.


    "Here, this is the gift." Yang Xian turned over her hand, and a silver sliver the size of a thumb appeared in her palm.


    It was very small!


    However, the surface of the sliver flickered with a mysterious light, and it seemed to have countless fine lines etched onto it.


    "What is this?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled. He had no idea what it could be.


    "Use your Spiritual Induction, you''re a Flying Heaven Level soul, use your powerful perception..." Yang Xian said with a smile.


    When Yang Xian had approached Li Yuan earlier, she had already detected that he was a Flying Heaven Level soul.


    "Spiritual Induction." Li Yuan contemplated, and with a thought, an invisible fluctuation enveloped the silver sliver.


    Li Yuan quickly sensed that something was amiss.


    There were no anomalies from the appearance, but the deeper his spiritual perception went, it was as though a Spiritual Imprint was progressively forming on the silver sliver... When Li Yuan''s perception reached a certain level, nearly at a critical point,


    Suddenly.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan suddenly realized that his vision changed, as from the silver sliver burst forth a dimension that seemed illusory yet incredibly real.


    "A space artifact?"


    "The legendary Storage Treasure?" Li Yuan''s heart was shocked, "Star Master Dantai Lie, would actually send me such a precious gift?"

 Chapter 309: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)

    Storage Magical Treasure, space bauble, Li Yuan had once seen some descriptions about them in the Starfire Martial Hall''s database.But there wasn''t much mentioned, only one sentence ¡ª extremely precious! Very rare!


    This already involved the manipulation of space, far surpassing the current concept of technology.


    Naturally, exceedingly precious.


    At least, among the Martial Artists.


    Even among the top-grade Prime Warriors, Li Yuan had not heard of anyone possessing a space bauble, let alone seeing one himself.


    However, Li Yuan hadn''t expected.


    That the mysterious Star Master "Dantai Lie" would actually gift him a space bauble directly.


    "Lord Yang of the Province, isn''t this too valuable?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but say.


    "Indeed, it is valuable, and not every Flying Heaven Warrior has one," said Yang Xian with a smile, "But in truth, giving it to Prime Martial Artists, most of them won''t be able to use it."


    "Unable to use it?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "This Storage Treasure, whether for recognizing a master, or for moving items in and out after doing so, the primary foundation is Divine Sense," said Yang Xian with a smile, "Previously, I was somewhat puzzled why Star Master Dantai Lie would send you this treasure... Now I know, you already have a soul at the Flying Heaven Level."


    "Then it is not strange for the Star Master to send you this treasure," Yang Xian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    It turned out that this kind of treasure could only be used by someone with a soul at the Flying Heaven Level.


    If there was no Divine Sense? Even with a treasure it wouldn''t work.


    "Lord Yang of the Province, how much is this Storage Treasure worth?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    He was somewhat curious!


    After all, according to Lord Yang of the Province... even some Flying Heaven Warriors didn''t have such a treasure.


    "In your perception, how big is the inner space of this space bauble?" Lord Yang of the Province asked with a smile, not directly answering Li Yuan''s question.


    "How big?" Li Yuan sensed the silver sliver the size of a thumb in Yang Xian''s hand.


    But he couldn''t figure it out.


    "You being able to sense it means you have recognized it as master, and you can manipulate it," Yang Xian patiently explained, "Just hold the Storage Treasure, bring it close to any item, and you can attempt to put it inside."


    "Remember, you can''t put in life forms, only inanimate objects," Yang Xian raised her hand, "Here you go, the Star Master has given it to you, simply because he has taken a liking to you, not because he wants you to do something."


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded, no longer hesitating.


    Just like Bai Shan Semi-Divine had given him the "Earth Origin Crystal," this Star Master Dantai Lie... perhaps had a similar thought and intention.


    As soon as he reached out to receive it.


    Hum~


    The silver sliver flowed like water, instantly merging into Li Yuan''s skin and disappearing from sight.


    "This?" Li Yuan''s pupils shrank.


    "Haha, I was the same as you when I first got a Storage Treasure," Yang Xian revealed a smile, "Don''t worry, you''ll get used to it. Concentrate and be calm, you can sense its presence... It will move to any part of your body at your will."


    "So that''s how it is," Li Yuan, with his powerful spiritual power,


    quickly sensed the existence of the Storage Treasure. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It seemed to be completely integrated into the body, able to move to any part of it.


    "Why is this Storage Treasure made this way?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but say.


    "How do you think it should be?" Yang Xian said with a smile.


    "A ring? A belt? A bracelet?" Li Yuan shared his thoughts.


    "Silly," Yang Xian shook her head, "No one is a fool. If you expose a Storage Treasure on the outside, and some super being sees it... with their strong spiritual power, they can completely break through the impediment of your Spiritual Imprint and directly probe the contents of your Storage Treasure."


    "Hidden within the body, it''s much more difficult for other powerful beings to probe. It increases the challenge at least tenfold," Yang Xian explained with a smile, "Even common people know not to carelessly take out their wallets; wouldn''t super beings know this as well?"


    "Storage Treasures are like the wallets of Martial Path experts; therefore, they are made to be very inconspicuous, at least not easily identified at a glance," Yang Xian said.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    It made a lot of sense.


    "The inner space." Li Yuan thought, and his palm unconsciously touched the sofa below him.


    Whoosh!


    The sofa vanished into thin air, leaving Li Yuan and Yang Xian with nothing but air beneath them.


    The atmosphere in the living room instantly turned solemn.


    Luckily!


    Both were Martial Path experts, and they remained hovering in place.


    "A mistake, definitely a mistake," Li Yuan said with an awkward smile, and with a thought, the sofa returned beneath them.


    "No harm done, it''s normal to be somewhat unfamiliar with it the first time," Yang Xian said with a smile, with not a trace of displeasure on her face. "But, the internal space of your Storage Treasure is that large? It can accommodate a sofa?"


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, "The internal space... is roughly 3 meters in length, approximately 2 meters in width, and about 1 meter in height."


    It was a rectangular prism.


    About six cubic meters of space!


    "Not bad, quite large," Yang Xian remarked with a smile, "It''s already twice as large as the ''standard Storage Treasure'' space of the warriors from the Martial Hall."


    "Standard Storage Treasure?" Li Yuan was curious.


    "Yes," Yang Xian laughed, "Like in our Starfire Martial Hall, once a warrior achieves the Flying Heaven level, they can purchase a Storage Treasure measuring 3 meters long, about 1 meter in width and height, with uniform internal space, for a price of 10 billion Blue Star Coins in the Martial Hall."


    "10 billion?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked; the price was much lower than he had imagined.


    "You think the price is low?" Yang Xian seemed to smile with a knowing look.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    "This is a privilege only for Flying Heaven Warriors at our Starfire Martial Hall," Yang Xian explained with a smile, "If you want to buy a second one of the same size from the Martial Hall, it costs 300 billion Blue Star Coins, and you can only purchase one more... similar to the one you have."


    "Mmm, if you were to sell it, its value would absolutely exceed your expectations," Yang Xian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan listened in surprise.


    A three-cubic-meter Storage Treasure, to buy one would really cost 300 billion Blue Star Coins? Even for the current Li Yuan, that was an incredibly astonishing fortune.

 Chapter 310: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_2

    A storage treasure with double the space? Its value is definitely more than double.But Li Yuan surely wouldn''t sell it.


    He also understood what Yang Xian meant; such a storage treasure with vast space is extremely rare... easy to sell, but hard to buy back later.


    Some treasures can''t be measured in Blue Star Coins.


    Moreover,


    Holding such a storage treasure, at critical moments, it can play an incredibly astonishing role.


    For example¡ªthe Black Chen Spear.


    When not in combat, Li Yuan could completely hide the long spear within the storage treasure, then the enemy may think Li Yuan is unarmed... pull it out at a crucial moment.


    It would definitely give the enemy a huge surprise.


    ...


    "Storage treasure secured," Yang Xian said with a smile, "The third matter is about the reward for your significant contribution in the Mingxu Star Realm... The war in the Mingxu Star Realm is drawing to an end."


    "Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan immediately thought of Senior Liu Jing.


    He also understood the rewards Yang Xian mentioned¡ªas the first discoverer of the small source crystal mine.


    "After comprehensive exploration and tallying, your merits have been finally calculated," Yang Xian said, "You have two options, the first is to receive 500 million Blue Star Coins annually for a total of 20 years, amounting to 10 billion Blue Star Coins."


    "The second option is a one-time reward of 5 billion Blue Star Coins," Yang Xian said.


    "10 billion? 5 billion?" Li Yuan was surprised, was the value that high?


    He remembered that Liu Jing had mentioned that the base reward should be 1 billion Blue Star Coins.


    The difference was too great.


    "Senior Liu Jing isn''t reliable," Li Yuan muttered to himself, but he was also quite pleased.


    This reward was indeed generous.


    After all, even if Li Yuan won the virtual combat championship, the reward was only 2 billion Blue Star Coins.


    "Choose the 5 billion Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan said directly.


    "Not the first option?" Yang Xian''s face showed a hint of an inexplicable smile.


    "20 years is too long," Li Yuan shook his head.


    Too much can happen in one night, let alone 20 years.


    Moreover, if he were still alive in 20 years, he would probably have already become a Flying Heaven Warrior, and wouldn''t care about the 500 million Blue Star Coins annually... on the other hand, the immediate 5 billion Blue Star Coins would be more helpful to his cultivation.


    "Good," Yang Xian didn''t persuade him otherwise, as long as Li Yuan had thought it through, they would never try to persuade him.


    Individuals make their choices and bear the consequences themselves.


    Swiftly,


    Li Yuan received a reward of 5 billion Blue Star Coins, and since it was a national (Alliance) reward, like the 2 billion grand contest reward, it was tax-free.


    Thus,


    Li Yuan''s bank account balance had soared to about 8.4 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ...


    "Alright, the money has been transferred to you, and the storage treasure given," Yang Xian continued, "Next, is to deliver the third command, which also comes from the Feixing Headquarters."


    "Feixing Headquarters?" Li Yuan grew even more surprised.


    Starfire Martial Hall has headquarters on the Seven Great Planets, but the headquarters on planets like Earth and the other Six Great Planets are essentially ''Second Level Martial Halls'', serving only as headquarters for their respective planets.


    Only the Feixing Headquarters is the highest headquarters of Starfire Martial Hall, and its founder ''Dongfang Ji'' is the ''Hall Master'' of Feixing Headquarters.


    "In view of your excellent performance in the global college Martial Path contest, your ranking within the Martial Hall has been elevated to L9 level," Yang Xian said with a smile, "L9 level is already the authority of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, and I am also at L9 authority level."


    "L9 level? Flying Heaven Level authority!" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, this was good stuff.


    Apart from anything else,


    Just the ''database'' that had greatly expanded in content due to the upgrade in authority was a significant aid.


    "Wait a moment, confirm the contract agreement in the ''Starfire Space,'' and you will be directly upgraded."


    "Your Starfire Space will also be directly upgraded," Yang Xian said with a smile, "Now I will introduce to you the two most important things at Flying Heaven Level authority¡ªthe Starfire Treasury! The Starfire Auction!"


    "Good," Li Yuan listened attentively.


    Time passed.


    After Yang Xian''s detailed introduction for about 30 minutes,


    Li Yuan finally had a more complete understanding of the Flying Heaven Level authority he now possessed. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Standing up,


    Li Yuan saw Yang Xian out of the villa, to the lawn outside.


    "Alright, no need to see me out,"


    Yang Xian said with a smile, "Li Yuan, after the Blue Star competition virtual battle, your name is known across Blue Star, and countless Flying Heaven Warriors are watching you... both the high-level officials of Xia Country and the Martial Hall expect a lot from your growth."


    "Don''t disappoint these expectations."


    "Although you now report directly to Hall Master Fang Hai, if there''s anything in the Jiangbei region, just send a message to me," Yang Xian said with a laugh, "I may not be able to help you much with cultivation, but I can easily handle some minor matters."


    As an L9 member, Li Yuan''s authority had significantly increased, and he had also left the Starfire Jiangbei division''s ranking... directly under the jurisdiction of Blue Star''s Hall Master Fang Hai.


    For whatever matter, he could directly reach out to Fang Hai.


    "Sure, if I need to, I will definitely tell you," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan understood Yang Xian''s meaning.


    Now, although his own strength had not yet reached the Flying Heaven level... within Starfire Martial Hall, the Seven Star Alliance, his status was already comparable to many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    In the face of someone like Yang Xian, a Hall Master of a provincial division, he couldn''t assert dominance over Li Yuan.


    In some sense,


    Li Yuan could already treat many Flying Heaven Warriors as equals.


    Of course, while his nominal status was comparable, Li Yuan would still involuntarily adopt a lower profile... strength is the real confidence.


    Watching Yang Xian depart,


    "When I have the strength of Yu Jinghe, I''ll truly be able to talk and laugh freely with these Flying Heaven Warriors," Li Yuan thought to himself, "For now, better keep a low profile."


    ...


    In the high sky,


    "You''re going to see the Principal?" Dean Hai paused.


    "Yes," Yang Xian revealed a smile, "It''s not easy to come to Kunlun Martial University, so naturally, I should go see the Hall Master."

 Chapter 311: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_3

    Yang Xian had something she didn''t say.This time, she wasn''t the one originally supposed to deliver the treasure; Dantai Lie, the Demigod, had other arrangements... It was she who fought for the opportunity.


    On the one hand, she wanted to deepen her relationship with Li Yuan.


    On the other hand, it was also an excuse to see Fang Hai... In Blue Star''s Third Level Martial Halls, there were over a hundred Hall Masters, and the number of Flying Heaven Warriors without the rank of Third Rank Hall Master was more than ten times that... There were many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, even though their number might seem not small, scattered across the globe and various Star Realms, each Flying Heaven Warrior still held tremendous authority.


    But!


    There was only one Hall Master for Blue Star''s main hall, and all Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star had to obey the commands of the Hall Master.


    Therefore, the chance to show one''s face in front of Fang Hai was very important.


    "Alright, go ahead," Dean Hai said with a laugh, clearly understanding Yang Xian''s thoughts.


    ...


    After seeing off Yang Xian,


    Li Yuan didn''t hesitate and quickly returned to the underground Martial Arts Room, entering the resting area.


    He logged into the virtual network, within Starfire Space.


    "Master." the fairy-like girl said excitedly, "Master, there''s a new agreement that has arrived. Once signed, you will be able to upgrade to Martial Hall L9 level."


    "Hmm, bring me the agreement," Li Yuan said.


    Whoosh~


    The holographic projection condensed and appeared in front of Li Yuan, who immediately began to review it rapidly.


    Most of the content was similar to previous agreements.


    The most core parts were three!


    The first, as an L9 member, the Martial Hall would grant an annual subsidy of 100 million Blue Star Coins.


    The second, the right to access the ''Starfire Treasury'' and the right to participate in the ''Starfire Blue Star Auction.''


    The third, once summoned by the Martial Hall or Alliance, unconditional obedience to the orders is mandatory!


    "Three clauses, two benefits, one obligation?" Li Yuan mused silently.


    The greater the privilege one enjoys, the greater the responsibility one bears.


    Flying Heaven Warriors were the backbone of human civilization, vital in the stationed forces in Second Level Star Realms and the battles waged in Third Level Star Realms... they were the absolute main forces.


    The Seven Stars human civilization''s ability to proliferate to this day, safely and continuously growing, aside from those at the very top, the Demigods... the vast number of Flying Heaven Warriors could not be underestimated.


    After all, no matter how strong the Demigods were, they couldn''t protect every entrance to the Star Realms, nor could they cover every corner of Blue Star.


    Nor could they retrieve a large number of treasures from various Star Realms.


    "An annual subsidy of 100 million Blue Star Coins isn''t much," Li Yuan thought to himself. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was very little for a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "The key is the second clause, the Starfire Treasury, the Starfire Blue Star Auction," Li Yuan said to himself.


    Without much hesitation,


    Li Yuan completed the electronic signing, and quickly, the Starfire Space he was in began to change.


    The entire space became more luxurious, and many new features appeared, such as contacting the Hall Master, connecting with Flying Heaven Warriors globally, a brand-new database, Starfire Treasury, and so on.


    With the upgraded privileges, there was an earth-shattering change.


    "Xiao Yu, I want to view the Starfire Treasury," Li Yuan said directly.


    "Yes, Master," Xiao Yu replied.


    Hum~ The light converged, forming a large, flowing-light-emitting holographic screen, on which dense text descriptions and videos appeared,


    As well as specific categories.


    "So many treasures," Li Yuan gasped.


    There were many categories, such as Origin Power Weapons, Star Techniques, Secret Manuals, spirit strengthening, body strengthening, Comprehension enhancement, recovery categories,...


    Each major category was further divided into many subcategories.


    For example, Star Techniques were divided into First Layer Star Technique, Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique... Ninefold Star Technique.


    For example, Origin Power Weapons were divided into Fourth Rank, Third Rank Fine, Third Rank Medium, Third Rank Inferior, Second Rank Fine, and so on.


    The divisions were very detailed.


    "Indeed, it''s the treasury that Senior Yang Xian mentioned," Li Yuan inwardly sighed, also feeling slightly shocked.


    Li Yuan began to check each one.


    Soon, Li Yuan found several treasures he wanted.


    "Origin Purple Longevity Pill, Second Level, 50 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 999 (contribution balance 100 billion)"


    "Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, Third Rank, 20 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 2 (contribution balance 100 billion)"


    "Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, Third Rank, 30 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 0 (contribution balance 100 billion)"


    "Storage Treasure, Third Rank (3 cubic meters), 10 billion Blue Star Coins, limited to purchasing one piece (contribution balance 100 billion)"


    "Storage Treasure, Third Rank (3 cubic meters), 300 billion Blue Star Coins, limited to purchasing one piece (contribution balance 100 billion)"


    ...


    Li Yuan continued to check other treasures.


    He gradually understood that the Starfire Treasury listed a large number of treasures, like Second Rank treasures, which were basically in unlimited supply.


    Third Rank treasures? Most had very limited quantities, or were out of stock.


    Following that,


    Li Yuan once again opened the ''Star Techniques'' category and discovered that learning those below Third Layer Star Technique was basically free... Starting from Fourth Layer Star Technique, there was a fee, and the prices were extremely high.


    ""Blood Shadow Incarnation", Fourth Layer Star Technique (up to Third Layer), learning requires 100 billion Blue Star Coins (no contribution required, note: please try the free introductory part first, if you cannot master the introduction, do not purchase the full content.)"


    ""True Solution of the Earth Star Vein", Unknown Star Technique (first two layers), learning requires 200 billion Blue Star Coins (no need...)"


    ""Myriad Gold Divine Body", Seventh Layer Star Technique, insufficient authority, please apply."


    ...


    A vast array of Star Techniques.


    Looking around, the holographic screen was densely packed with thousands of Star Techniques.


    The majority were First to Third Layer Star Techniques, and those above Fourth Layer accounted for only one-tenth.


    "With my authority, I can learn up to Sixth Layer Star Technique," Li Yuan thought, "Seventh Layer Star Technique? I must apply to higher levels to have a chance to learn it."

 Chapter 312: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_4

    As for the Eighth Layer Star Technique, Ninefold Star Technique?According to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Dean Hai, there are indeed a few incomplete ones within the Seven Stars human civilization.


    But Li Yuan couldn''t access them.


    "It must be that my authority is insufficient; these high-level Star Techniques are all secret," Li Yuan pondered.


    It made sense, after all.


    Even if the Ninefold Star Technique couldn''t be cultivated, even if it was incomplete, it was still a ''Supreme Star Technique'', the foundation of a civilization... it couldn''t be easily disseminated.


    "The channel through which a Flying Heaven Warrior purchases treasures indeed far surpasses that of a Prime Warrior," Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    Take Li Yang, for example, he was doing pretty well among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists, but purchasing a Third Rank treasure was not easy for him either... he had to rely on all kinds of connections.


    But for Flying Heaven Warriors, as long as they wait in the Starfire Treasury, as soon as a treasure is available, they can immediately take it... it''s much easier.


    The difference in strength leads to a difference in status, and naturally a difference in perspective.


    "To learn Star Techniques, Secret Manuals, and other non-physical items, one simply needs enough money to study them directly," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "But purchasing Heavenly Materials Treasures? That requires contribution balance."


    What is contribution balance?


    A Flying Heaven Level authority, in the Martial Hall''s ''Starfire Treasury'', can buy a large number of treasures, but obviously not in unlimited quantities.


    There''s a limit to everything.


    Every person will receive ''10 billion Blue Star Coin contribution balance'' granted for free by the Martial Hall.


    This represents the ability to purchase treasures worth a total of 10 billion; once the contribution balance is spent, then no matter how rich one is, they cannot buy anything.


    Of course, there''s another way ¡ª contribution!


    For example, contributing a 10 billion worth of treasures to the Martial Hall, apart from receiving 9.5 billion Blue Star Coins, one would also receive a contribution quota of 9.5 billion.


    "For a treasure worth 10 billion, the Martial Hall takes a cut of 500 million," Li Yuan thought to himself, "The Starfire Treasury is essentially a huge intermediary platform, where the Martial Hall''s many Flying Heaven Warriors traverse the Star Realm, sell their acquired treasures to the treasury, and then buy what they need from the treasury...


    creating a positive cycle, allowing the treasury to keep operating in a cycle."


    This requires tremendous control, as well as having all the Martial Artists believe in the system.


    And the 5% taken is one of the sources of operational funds for the entire Martial Hall.


    Such as the cultivation of talents, which requires a large amount of money.


    Of course.


    Even so, there are still many rare treasures that are in high demand but low supply, and there are many powerful individuals with plenty of money but no contribution balance.


    Hence, there are auctions.


    Every year.


    The Starfire Martial Hall will hold an auction on Blue Star, auctioning a large number of rare treasures... those with Flying Heaven Level authority can participate.


    "The next auction, in December every year?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Ten months from now?"


    Li Yuan wasn''t too concerned.


    He was well aware that although he had obtained Flying Heaven Level authority and had more than eighty billion Blue Star Coins... which seemed like a lot, it was nothing compared to the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Moreover. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I''m only at Level 19 right now, most treasures are not of much significance to me," Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    It''s not that they are useless.


    It''s that the cost-effectiveness is too low.


    "What''s truly effective for me here are these Star Techniques," Li Yuan revealed a slight smile, "Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique, all free to learn?"


    Of course, there''s also a limit, up to 20 techniques.


    After all, even among Flying Heaven Warriors, it''s common to only cultivate two or three Star Techniques.


    ...


    After perusing the Starfire Treasury and looking at the ''cultivation suggestions'' sent by the Starfire Martial Hall,


    and checking the large amount of new data in the database,


    Li Yuan had a vague idea of his own cultivation path going forward.


    At that time.


    Dean Hai arrived.


    "Dean," Li Yuan immediately invited the visitor into the living room, and they sat down.


    Pouring tea for his guest.


    "You should have looked through the Starfire Treasury and also seen the cultivation suggestion letter the Starfire Martial Hall sent you," Dean Hai said with a smile.


    "I''ve seen both," Li Yuan nodded.


    "There are six months until you go to Feixing," Dean Hai said with a smile, "You don''t need to participate in the Blue Star combat competition in June anymore, so what are you thinking now?"


    "First, become a Prime Warrior," Li Yuan said after a moment''s thought, "Then go to the Second Level Star Realm to explore."


    "It''s just, I haven''t decided exactly which Star Realm to go to yet."


    Going to the Star Realm is a must.


    Simply being short of reaching a 40% Spiritual Awakening Level is already a reason enough for Li Yuan to make the trip.

 Chapter 313: Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Extra 27)

    "After becoming a Prime Warrior, to venture into the Second Level Star Realm?" Dean Hai nodded slightly, "There is something I need to remind you of.""Please speak, Dean," Li Yuan listened attentively.


    "This time, to lure out the lurking alien Flying Heaven level, the principal and others have put you at the forefront of the storm," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, "Although in the end you killed the alien Flying Heaven level... you must understand, the alien forces watching you are not only from one faction."


    "The strongest two alien forces that are enemies of our Blue Star are the Tianliang Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization."


    "Like the black dragon I killed before, it actually belonged to the Cloud Beast Civilization," said Dean Hai.


    "Oh?" Li Yuan was surprised; this was the first time he had heard this.


    He knew quite a bit about the Tianliang Clan.


    But the Cloud Beast Civilization? He had never come into contact with it before.


    "When you cultivate within the school, with the Principal''s deterrence and many Flying Heaven Warriors around, the probability of alien assassination attempts on you is very small, as everyone cherishes their lives," said Dean Hai, "But there will definitely be people always monitoring you."


    "Always tracking your movements."


    "Once you leave the school, various alien forces will certainly crazily track you," Dean Hai said, "In our civilization, there are many traitors and scoundrels who dare not attack you directly... but many would dare to leak your whereabouts."


    Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart.


    Indeed, if they were real aliens, under his Divine Palace''s inquiry, they would mostly reveal themselves.


    What he should be most vigilant about are the traitors.


    Because you never know who the internal spy is, perhaps some inconspicuous First Rank Warriors or Prime Warriors.


    Even some high-ranking Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, or Flying Heaven Warriors, may trade with aliens in secret for personal gain or for some treasures.


    This is unavoidable.


    "What do you mean, Dean?" asked Li Yuan.


    "My personal suggestion is that from now until July, you engage in concealed cultivation within the school, then head directly to Feixing," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, "With your comprehension, your strength will also progress swiftly."


    "With the rate of your progress, perhaps by July, your Spear Technique could even step into the Fifth Stage High Rank."


    "After you receive the complete Martial God Inheritance, your strength will transform even further."


    "The Martial God Inheritance is one of the greatest secrets of our civilization."


    "You are still young; there''s no need to hurry. Wait until you return from Feixing with the Martial God Inheritance, and your Physical Quality reaches High Rank Prime Warrior level... Then it will not be too late to go risk life and death in the Second Level Star Realm," said Dean Hai solemnly.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    To cultivate step by step until he became a high-level Prime Warrior? How long would that take?


    But Li Yuan could sense the change in Dean Hai''s attitude.


    Before, Dean Hai was very encouraging of him going to face life and death challenges, but now he was advising against it... which was enough to show the hidden risks.


    "Dean, I will carefully consider it," Li Yuan said, "Even if I decide to venture out, it won''t be until I''ve become a Prime Warrior, at least a good half-month later."


    "Alright."


    "I''m just giving you a suggestion; what you decide to do is still up to you," Dean Hai said, "If you really decide to venture into the Star Realm, remember to contact me in advance after choosing a Star Realm, and I will help you analyze the pros and cons."


    "At the same time, I will arrange to hide your tracks in advance."


    "Understood," said Li Yuan, feeling Dean Hai''s deep concern.


    ...


    After seeing off Dean Hai.


    Li Yuan returned to the underground Martial Arts Room and fell into deep thought.


    "There''s really no need for me to participate in the practical combat competition in June," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The purpose of the global martial arts competition held by the alliance''s higher-ups.


    Is to select the very top geniuses of each session.


    Like in the Blue Star competition''s virtual battle and practical combat, the top three directly get the Martial God Inheritance slots.


    Therefore, as usual, those who break into the top three in the virtual battles typically won''t participate in the practical combat afterward.


    The same goes.


    Once someone breaks into the top three in either the virtual battle or practical combat in one of the Blue Star competitions, they usually won''t participate in the following session.


    "Dean Hai''s suggestion for me to keep cultivating in seclusion isn''t wrong; in some sense, it is very correct," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Right now, indeed, there is no need for me to take great risks or venture out too recklessly."


    Life-and-death adventuring is to temper oneself.


    But there is a bottom line in this; venturing into the Star Realm is for tempering, not simply courting death.


    If the risk of falling is too great, and the benefits not sufficient, then it is best to give up.


    "But with a 40% Spiritual Awakening Level, should I wait until after returning from Feixing?" Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    That would be waiting too long.


    Once the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 40%, to carry out the fourth Origin Power infusion.


    By Li Yuan''s estimation, that would save him several months or even longer on his Origin Power cultivation time.


    The cultivation of Physical Quality and Life Level for Prime Warriors takes much longer compared to First Rank Warriors.


    "A significant increase in Physical Quality would further nurture the soul," Li Yuan thought to himself, "It would also make the vitality within my Life Star stronger... whether in cultivating Star Techniques or awakening more Star Meridians, it''s very beneficial."


    "With a strengthened foundation, it''s an all-around improvement, so when I go to Feixing, my advantages will be even greater," Li Yuan also harbored ambitions within his heart.


    One step ahead, all steps ahead.


    Li Yuan had a simple thought; he had spoken to Star Lord Bai Shan and others before... after reaching Feixing, the Martial God Inheritance slots also varied in rank.


    Upon arriving at Feixing, he would not only be facing the geniuses of Blue Star but also those from the other Six Great Planets.


    Geniuses gather. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He must become stronger, to quickly strive for a First Rank Martial God Inheritance slot.


    And perhaps even a Special Rank Martial God Inheritance slot.


    "Secondly, once the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches the 40% limit, there may be a chance to push the limit to 50%," Li Yuan silently pondered.

 Chapter 314 Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional Chapter 27)_2

    If the level of Spiritual Awakening reaches 50%, it''s not just about Origin Power entering the body, but also unlocking the second Spiritual Guidance.This is crucial.


    "Still, I must go,"


    Li Yuan made a decision, "But there''s no need to make a spectacle of it, nor is there a need to stay too long in the Star Realm."


    ...


    Having made up his mind, Li Yuan didn''t hesitate any further and restarted his cultivation for the day.


    "For the next period of time."


    "First, I''ll focus on cultivating ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'' and ''All Heavens'' Stars'' to fully enhance my Physical Quality," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Next, is to continue honing my skills."


    "Third, I must not slack off for a moment. As long as my spiritual power recovers and my body can bear it, I shall continue to strive for awakening the Life Star."


    "Strive to awaken more Star Meridians as soon as possible."


    The Star Meridians are critical, arguably the most important foundation on the path of Martial Arts Cultivation.


    They are the key to how far one can go in the future.


    "Once I become a Prime Warrior, I''ll immediately apply for life and death challenges," Li Yuan planned his next steps, "I''ll set off quietly, elevate my level of Spiritual Awakening to 40% by defeating enemies in the Star Realm to accomplish Origin Power entering my body, then return to school immediately."


    By Li Yuan''s estimate, this whole process might take just a few days to a fortnight.


    If he concealed it well, perhaps even the Alien Race wouldn''t know he had left Kunlun Martial University.


    Planning is important.


    Only by thinking through and following a plan can one move faster and more steadily.


    "In fact, the most important treasure for me right now should be the Earth Origin Crystal,"


    "If I can completely cultivate the first two stages of the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'', perhaps, my compatibility with the Earth Vein will reach an astonishing level," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "However, at the very least, after... becoming a Prime Warrior and spending three to five months, I can then report this matter back to the principal."


    The secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace must not be revealed.


    ...


    Time flew by, and day by day, the storm of the virtual competition aftermath of the Blue Star competition completely dissipated.


    With each round of promotions, Li Yuan''s V-blog fans reached an astonishing eighty million. However... since Li Yuan never posted any updates,


    coupled with the gradual dispersal of the various promotions by the Starfire Martial Hall, this number of fans has essentially reached its limit for the short term.


    Nevertheless,


    these disturbances didn''t affect Li Yuan, as he was wholeheartedly immersed in his cultivation.


    Every day, he began with Visualization Method and basic Origin Power Technique training from the early morning.


    Every two or three days, he would attempt ''Law Creation'' to try and awaken more Life Stars.


    The rest of his nearly all time was spent on Spear Technique cultivation.


    ...


    In a huge Martial Arts Room, over a hundred meters long and wide, a specially designed room by Kunlun Martial University.


    Li Yuan, dressed in a specially made Origin Power Battle Suit and wielding a Long Spear.


    Not far from him, was Li Yang holding a Combat Saber, looking at him with a chuckling smile.


    "Teacher, let''s start today''s actual combat training," Li Yuan said seriously.


    "Alright."


    "Just like yesterday, I will suppress my strength and speed to Level 19. You try to feel the changes in my Sword Technique," Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    Stay updated via empire


    Boom!


    Li Yang moved in an instant; with one step forward, his aura became terrifyingly powerful, like a mountain barreling towards Li Yuan.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan''s form moved, and like a stream of light or lightning, he charged towards Li Yang. His Long Spear, like a dragon, accompanied by a piercing whoosh, instantly unleashed a sky-covering barrage of Spear Light.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    Layers of dazzling saber brilliance bloomed, easily blocking the spear shadows thrown by Li Yuan. The weapons collided fiercely, and the terrifying impact made it impossible for Li Yuan to completely deflect it even when executing the True Intent Killing Move ''Star River Spiral''.


    He had to keep retreating.


    In contrast, Li Yang''s Sword Technique, although each strike seemed not strong, was continuous and explosively powerful, relentlessly pressuring Li Yuan.


    Every strike subtly channeled the power of heaven and earth, with incredible might!


    Suddenly,


    "Annihilation," Li Yang''s Combat Saber suddenly changed its course, the blade''s light striking atop the Spear Light, as if targeting the vital points of Li Yuan''s spear technique, causing his Spear Momentum to falter in an instant.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More blades of light cleaved down, making it impossible for Li Yuan to withstand the assault any longer. His Spear Momentum completely collapsed, and his body was hurled backward, retreating dozens of meters before stopping.


    With the protection of the Origin Power Battle Suit, he wasn''t injured.


    Li Yang also came to a stop with the flow of his movements.


    "Very good."


    "Your progress is indeed fast. When the great competition ended, and during our first actual combat training, you could barely withstand more than ten strikes from me even with your True Intent Killing Move," Li Yang said with a smile, "But now you can withstand more than thirty strikes."


    "That''s because my physical quality has improved," Li Yuan shook his head, "And since you suppressed your strength and speed, if we had the same physical quality, I would only lose faster."


    "Isn''t that obvious? I am a Fifth Stage High Rank in skills, and how long have you just stepped into the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?" Li Yang said with a smile, "Improvement in skill is still improvement, no need to be modest."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    Indeed,


    it had been over ten days since the Blue Star competition ended, and his dedicated cultivation had indeed brought about rapid progress.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.

    Li Yuan''s physical quality and skill level had improved greatly, especially since his skills had already crossed 5 stages at 40%.


    At this rate of progress, in a few months, Li Yuan would be able to reach Fifth Stage 59%.

    "Li Yuan, your physical quality should have reached 19.9," Li Yang asked, "You''re getting closer and closer to becoming a Prime Warrior.""It is indeed very close," Li Yuan nodded, "Now, even in a Unity of Heaven and Man state, I can faintly feel a trickle of Origin Power entering my body... My body is very active."


    This was an explanation that Li Yuan had prepared earlier.


    He needed to gradually reveal his talent in regards to Star Meridians.


    "Oh? You can sense it now? Good! Good! Good!" Li Yang indeed showed happiness, "Then try sensing the ''Life Star space''; perhaps you can awaken your Life Star a bit earlier." Find your next adventure on empire


    "Haha, being able to start autonomously absorbing traces of Origin Power at level 19.9, your Star Meridian talent must be very high," Li Yang said excitedly.


    "Yes, I''ll try as much as possible," Li Yuan said.


    ...


    Back in his own villa.


    "Although I''ve reached Life Level 19.9, my Fist Strength and speed still fall short of the true First Order Limit," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having the Divine Palace panel allowed Li Yuan to be very clear about what stage he was at.


    "Another week or so."


    "Once my Fist Strength exceeds 70,000 kilograms, I will try to activate the Star Meridian and achieve the status of Prime Warrior in one go," Li Yuan pondered.


    There were two paths to becoming a Prime Warrior.


    One, if you have a High Rank Cultivation Method that fits you, then after meeting all the requirements, you could follow the guidance of the Cultivation Method... Try to operate the three sensed Star Meridians that fit, prompting the body to rapidly complete the Transformation and become a Prime Warrior.


    The other path was for Martial Artists without a High Rank Cultivation Method.


    In that case, as long as their physical quality reached 19.9, they could continue to improve their physique... until they fully activated Origin Power even if they initially failed to do so.


    Typically, the minimum Fist Strength required for one''s physique is 70,000 kilograms, and it could go up to about 80,000 kilograms. Even those Martial Artists without a Cultivation Method could sense the traces of wandering Origin Power in the world and begin to absorb it for themselves.


    ...


    One day later, late at night, Li Yuan tried to awaken his Life Star as usual.


    Quite abruptly.


    "Hum~" An invisible fluctuation swept by, followed by a faint tremble of Li Yuan''s body, and then countless points of light converged into a thread-like stream that passed over Li Yuan''s body, circulating all around him.


    "Finally."


    "Another Star Meridian has awakened," Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile.


    At that moment, the three Star Meridians, reflecting each other, made Li Yuan''s aura quite exceptional.


    "First Layer Star Vein, the cultivation efficiency increase is indeed just 0.5," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel and muttered to himself.


    But his heart was filled with immense joy.


    Awakening three Star Meridians, although two of them were still just First Layer Star Veins. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But an important barrier on the road to becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior had been unknowingly breached by Li Yuan.


    ...


    In the distant Feixing.


    Inside an enormously grand city that itself seemed like a piece of crimson flame.


    Above the city, an immense flying craft hovered, marked with a striking ''flame'' emblem.


    If some of Feixing''s powerhouses saw this emblem, they would recognize it at a glance¡ªBlazing Flame Family.


    This was a great family with an illustrious reputation within Feixing''s upper echelons, and this city was almost their fiefdom.


    In a twelve-story building, in the top-floor office.


    "Many people died?"


    "How is that possible! The sixteen people from the Blazing Flame Family are among the best in the First Rank," the young man in a blue Martial Path outfit said in shock, immediately becoming anxious, "How is my little sister?"


    "Second brother, stay calm."


    "According to the messages sent back, a large Origin Crystal vein was born in the World within Worlds, the source of a major battle," the man in the black robe spoke somberly, "At the core of the vein, there is likely to contain ''Earth Origin Crystal'' and ''Fire Divine Crystal''."


    "Based on the token''s sensing, little sister is still alive, but we''ve temporarily lost contact with her," he continued.

 Chapter 316 Chapter 231 The Secret of World within Worlds! Invitation (Request for Monthly Ticket)

    "Lost contact?"The young man in the blue Martial Path uniform''s face changed, "Little sister is the most important of their group, definitely equipped with the best communication device, how could she lose contact?"


    "No, this won''t do."


    "I must find mother," the young man in the blue Martial Path uniform turned and was about to leave.


    "Second brother, calm down," the young man in the black robe shouted angrily, "The affairs of World within Worlds contain the Blazing Flame Family''s biggest secrets, can they be inquired by you and me? Even Dad shouldn''t interfere, don''t forget, our surname is Lin, not Flame."


    "By all rights, we should know nothing about World within Worlds."


    The young man in the blue Martial Path uniform fell silent.


    That''s right!


    Although the blood of the Blazing Flame Family flowed in their veins, they were only peripheral members; they didn''t even qualify to enter World within Worlds... Only their sister, who could cultivate the "Nirvana Divine Scripture," could become the core member of the Blazing Flame Family despite her foreign surname.


    Lin Lanyue''s journey to World within Worlds was a secret and not disclosed to them.


    They had learned of it through their own secret channels... The inheritance of the Blazing Flame Family had been decaying for over a hundred years, and with generations attempting to break through to World within Worlds, that naturally led to many leaks.


    "Big brother, what should we do?" the young man in the blue Martial Path uniform clenched his teeth, "Just wait around?"


    "Inform Dad of the details. He is a Flying Heaven Warrior and also a Six-Star Councilor of the alliance; naturally, he will figure out a way," murmured the young man in the black robe.


    "Alright, I''ll send the message right away."


    ...


    As Lin Lanyue''s two older brothers were discussing, in that super-large aircraft hovering above the city,


    In one of its meeting rooms, a group of powerful beings was arguing non-stop.


    "World within Worlds has always been located in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, extremely hidden, with only one entrance and exit controlled by us."


    "How could the Immortal Ruins Civilization''s ''Gu Yue Divine Kingdom'' have discovered it? And how did they open an entrance and exit that we were unaware of, without us noticing?"


    "Too strange!"


    "I suspect someone has leaked the true secret of World within Worlds; we must investigate, thoroughly," one existence after another spoke up.


    As one of the strongest ''high-order Spiritual Nature families'' within the Seven Stars human civilization, they were the highest echelon of the Blazing Flame Family.


    Everyone participating in this meeting was at the Flying Heaven Level.


    "Silence."


    A cold voice rang out, "We naturally need to investigate the leak, but right now, the most urgent matter is rescue."


    The speaker was a middle-aged man in a black robe adorned with a pattern of a flame divine bird.


    "Right now, sixteen young ones have entered World within Worlds, fourteen of them are already dead, with only two still alive, but they too have lost contact," said the middle-aged man in the black robe, "Among them, Lanyue had already lost contact before the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s attack."


    "What? Lost contact before the attack?"


    "Could it be?"


    "Really?"


    "How were we not aware?" The Flying Heaven Warriors present were shocked, setting aside their dispute.


    Most of them had entered World within Worlds before and naturally understood what this implied.


    "Must be rescued."


    "We must rescue Lin Lanyue."


    "To rescue someone, we must delve deep into World within Worlds," another old man in casual clothing spoke up gravely, "but the Fierce Feather Star Realm is a Second Level Star Realm... World within Worlds has even sturdier barriers... Leaving is no concern, but entry requires one to be a First Rank lifeform."


    "And preferably, the top-tier ones who can almost reach Second Rank."


    "After all, according to the messages those young ones sent before their deaths, they encountered Prime Warriors of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who seemed to have broken through immediately after sneaking into World within Worlds," said the old man in casual clothing.


    All the Flying Heaven Warriors listened intently, their expressions changing.


    Prime Warriors?


    The meeting was called abruptly; most of them were still not fully briefed on the details.


    "The situation is dangerous," the middle-aged man in the black robe said slowly, "Reliant on just our family, we simply cannot dispatch so many First Rank Martial Artists on the verge of breaking through... let alone truly formidable geniuses."


    "I propose we report the matter to the alliance and request their assistance," the middle-aged man in the black robe offered his opinion.


    "No way." S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Patriarch, absolutely not, wouldn''t this publicize the secrets of World within Worlds?"


    "Not acceptable." Immediately, several Flying Heaven Warriors voiced their objections, but many more remained silent, contemplating the Patriarch''s suggestion.


    "You several, shut up," the old man in casual clothing frowned, "If this was the past and something major happened inside World within Worlds, we would rather lose a bunch of lives than reveal the secret."


    "But what about now?"


    "People from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have already infiltrated."


    "The Immortal Ruins Civilization is the most terrifying civilization we know of... The overall strengths displayed by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom are at least on par with our entire Seven Stars human civilization, if not stronger... How can we resist with just our family?" the old man in casual clothing said coldly.


    "Time is not on our side."


    "Even if we reveal the secrets of World within Worlds to the alliance, as long as we can retake World within Worlds, at most other geniuses will be arranged by the alliance to enter, but we will still hold the majority," he continued.


    "However, if we give the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom some time, once they ascertain the true secret of World within Worlds, they will definitely invest massive resources and fortify it beyond penetration. By then, even if the alliance contributes resources, both manpower and materials, it will be difficult to retake it, and we will get nothing.


    Our family will also fall into complete decline," the old man in casual clothing shouted angrily.


    The meeting room fell silent.


    "Alright, let''s vote," the young man in the black robe said slowly, "Whether to agree with the Great Elder''s proposal."


    "Agree!"


    "Abstain."


    "Abstain."


    "Agree."


    "Agree"


    ...


    "Nineteen votes agree, six abstain, with nine elders not attending the meeting; the total number of agree votes is more than half, and the number opposing is less than one-third," the middle-aged man in the black robe declared, "The resolution passes."

 Chapter 317 Chapter 231 The Secret of World within Worlds! Invitation (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

    ```"I''ll be responsible for contacting Starfire Martial Hall."


    "Elder Yan Chan, your husband ''Lin Yue'' is a Six-Star Councilor and a part of the higher echelons of the Starry Sky Martial Hall. Since Lin Lanyue is your daughter... it falls to you to make contact with the Starry Sky side," said the man in the black robe.


    "Alright." In a corner of the meeting room, a woman in purple who had been silent gave a light nod.


    "Great Elder, you''ll be responsible for making contact with the Black Stone Martial Hall."


    "Hmm." The elder in casual wear nodded.


    "The rest of the elders, please also immediately use your networks at full capacity and see if you can gather a group of First Order Limit Martial Artists who are close to a breakthrough."


    "Whether the century-old foundation of my Blazing Flame Clan can be preserved all depends on this move."


    "Yes," more than twenty Flying Heaven Warriors said in unison, knowing the importance of the matter at hand.


    Perhaps some elders had different opinions or thoughts.


    But once the family meeting made a decision, they would naturally work together wholeheartedly.


    ...


    March 2nd.


    At Blue Star''s Kunlun Martial University, a little after one in the afternoon.


    On the grass outside Li Yuan''s villa, the essence of spring was vibrant and beautiful, and the sun in the sky didn''t feel too scorching.


    "Teacher, take a look," Li Yuan said as he held the Black Chen Spear, "The ''Galaxy Spiral'' True Intent Ultimate Move I previously created actually wasn''t deliberately pursuing the power to stir the heavens and earth."


    Whoosh!


    With a thrust of Li Yuan''s long spear, the tip sliced through the vast sky, causing the surrounding air to tremble and even faint glimmers of starlight to burst forth, spectacularly radiant. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He was drawing upon the power of the heavens and the earth!


    "Following the heart''s intent, following the sensation, rather than pursuing deliberately," Li Yuan laughed, "Unknowingly, I broke through."


    "Follow the sensation?" Li Yang stood to the side, deep in thought.


    In recent days,


    Li Yang had been accompanying Li Yuan in combat training. Naturally, in terms of skill level, Li Yang was higher... but as Li Yuan made swift progress, his skillset was quickly catching up to Li Yang''s.


    Intermediate Fifth Stage skills, High Rank Fifth Stage skills... the fundamental difference wasn''t that big.


    Especially in terms of creating ''True Intent Ultimate Moves,'' Li Yuan definitely had the final say.


    So, it was less about Li Yang teaching Li Yuan and more about mutual exchange and learning from each other.


    Some of Li Yuan''s words had given Li Yang much inspiration.


    "I''ve been somewhat anxious," Li Yang laughed, "I''ve practiced more Third Rank Secret Manuals than you, my skill level is higher than yours, and I also have a Flying Heaven Level soul... Yet, I''m somewhat impatient, all the while thinking about creating a True Intent Killing Move."


    With Li Yang''s level of skill,


    once he created one or two True Intent Killing Moves, he could step into Fifth Stage Perfection and hope to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "Haha, with such profound skills, Teacher, you''re sure to achieve the Flying Heaven status," Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    In these recent days talking with Li Yang, Li Yuan learned that the ''Galaxy Spiral'' he had created was a True Intent Ultimate Move, touching upon the threshold of breaking into Fifth Stage Perfection.


    Of course,


    Li Yuan was aware that there were differences between True Intent Ultimate Moves... like the one he had created, the power invoked from the heavens and earth couldn''t compare to those of the Ultimate Moves of the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    After all, the insights and accumulations of the Flying Heaven Warriors far surpassed his own.


    But at least, among the Intermediate Fifth Stage Martial Artists, when it came to skill alone, he had already found few rivals, and with his skill improvement and enhanced insights, the power of his True Intent Ultimate Move would naturally grow stronger and stronger.


    Suddenly,


    "Hm?" Li Yuan sensed something.


    "Dean Hai?" Li Yang also perceived it, both of them aware that a Flying Heaven Level presence was approaching.


    ```


    Huh!


    Several hundred meters in the high sky, a genially attractive young man in blue clothes had suddenly appeared and was descending rapidly¡ªit was none other than Dean Hai.


    "Li Yang, Li Yuan, you two seem quite leisurely, discussing skills with each other," Dean Hai nodded slightly.


    "It''s more like Li Yuan enlightening me," Li Yang said with a smile.


    "Dean Hai, is there something you need?" Li Yuan realized that the other party must have something to discuss, otherwise, he wouldn''t have come to find him unexpectedly.


    After all, it was only the day before yesterday that he had sought Li Yuan out¡ªit would be unlikely for him to come again so soon without good reason.


    Moreover, if it was not a significant matter, a simple message would have sufficed.


    "Li Yang, I have something to discuss with Li Yuan; you may return first," Dean Hai instructed.


    "Yes," Li Yang nodded his head, acknowledging.


    He had a clear understanding of his own position; since the Blue Star competition ended, he had quickly realized... his student, Li Yuan, had completely exceeded his expectations.


    In some sense, within Xia Country and the Seven Star Alliance, Li Yuan''s status had already surpassed that of his own teacher.


    Li Yang promptly left.


    On the grass.


    Only Li Yuan and Dean Hai remained.


    "Dean, why don''t we go inside the villa and sit down for a cup of tea?" Li Yuan suggested.


    "No need," Dean Hai shook his head and said, "After notifying you, I still have to inform several other students... This matter comes from the higher-ups in the Alliance."


    "Oh?" Li Yuan voiced his puzzlement.


    A First Rank Martial Artist like himself, what could be so important that the upper echelons of the Alliance had to send down a message?


    Furthermore, based on what Dean Hai implied, it seemed as though the matter involved more people than just him.


    "It''s about a hidden treasure within the civilization," Dean Hai waved his hand.


    Weng~


    An invisible force enveloped the two of them, like an invisible barrier separating the inside from the outside, preventing eavesdropping from the outside world.


    "Using the power of heaven and earth?" Li Yuan perceived the action and was secretly stunned.


    At present, he himself could also use a small amount of the power of heaven and earth, but his control was far inferior to Dean Hai''s... This was a true master of the True Intent of heaven and earth.


    "This treasure is located within a Second Rank Star Realm and had always been controlled by a high Spiritual Nature family within the Alliance, the ''Flame Clan''," Dean Hai said, "I believe I have mentioned this family to you before."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    The first time he met Dean Hai, the latter had mentioned the ''Flame Clan'', a family of formidable reputation. Due to their special bloodline, they also possessed a very special Cultivation Technique, the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture'', which had given rise to dozens of Flying Heaven Martial Artists within their family.


    "This family''s treasure is of great importance," said Dean Hai, "but they have now come into conflict with the ''Gu Yue Divine Kingdom'' from the Immortal Ruins Civilization... and the Alliance has decided to organize a rescue."


    Immortal Ruins Civilization? Li Yuan''s pupils constricted slightly.


    Since gaining access to the Flying Heaven Level, Li Yuan had been perusing a substantial amount of confidential information in his spare time from cultivating... and there was significant emphasis on the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Other foreign domains such as the Tianliang Civilization and Cloud Beast Civilization, when compared to the Seven Stars human civilization, are strong and weak in different aspects, but generally, they all are on the same level.


    But the Immortal Ruins Civilization alone, even just the tip of the iceberg they reveal, far exceeds the Seven Stars human civilization.


    It is the most terrifying civilization known to the Seven Star Alliance, without equal.


    This time, the Seven Star Alliance was actually in conflict with the Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    "This treasure land is a World within Worlds in the Second Level Star Realm, accessible only to First Order life forms," Dean Hai explained, "The matter is of great importance, and the Alliance has already mobilized a large number of Martial Artists close to the First Order Limit to enter."


    "Looking at our entire civilization, in terms of strength, you should be among the very top of First Order life forms, and you might even be the strongest."


    "Therefore, the higher-ups specifically asked me to come and inquire whether you would be willing to go?"

 Chapter 232 Relic of the Gods (Request for Monthly Votes)

    Swiftly, Dean Hai revealed more intelligence about the World within Worlds to Li Yuan."World within Worlds? Only First Rank lives can enter?" Li Yuan listened to the shocking news.


    It sounded as though it involved the civilization struggle between the Seven Stars human civilization and the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    "Is the World within Worlds part of the First Level Star Realm? How big is it?" Li Yuan asked the key question.


    In the First Level Star Realm, only First Order life is allowed in and out.


    In the Second Level Star Realm, only Second Rank life is allowed in and out.


    In the Third Level Star Realm, only Third Rank life is allowed in and out.


    Normally, the higher the level of the Star Realm, the more dangerous and vast it is compared to the lower levels¡­ but there are always exceptions, such as the Mingxu Star Realm, which is merely a First Level Star Realm yet wider and more dangerous than most Second Level Star Realms, and it harbors a large number of native Sky-Flying Level Life.

    "No, the World within Worlds is different from the First Level Star Realm."


    "I understand your concerns," Dean Hai said earnestly, "Only First Order life can enter the World within Worlds, but that gateway allows Second Rank life to come out."


    "That''s not right," Li Yuan shook his head, "According to what you said earlier, this Star Realm has always been under the control of the Blazing Flame Clan..."


    "With their family''s strength, they could easily station Prime Warriors there long-term, similar to a forward base like the one in the Mingxu Star Realm."


    "The seniors at the forward base in Mingxu Star Realm, they can''t come out."


    "But the Prime Warriors stationed in the World within Worlds can still come out," Li Yuan analyzed, "There must be those willing, and it''s entirely feasible to rotate them."


    "No matter how powerful the Immortal Ruins Civilization''s Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is, they are only First Order life when they first break through... Even if they are geniuses with Fifth Stage Skills, once they enter and immediately break through, if they face High Rank Origin Martial Artists or Top Grade Origin Martial Artists directly, they will still die," Li Yuan said gravely.


    Having seen Principal Fang Hai, Li Yuan understood that if one''s skills were profound enough, one could indeed fight beyond one''s rank.


    For instance, if a First Order life stepped into the threshold of the Law, it could probably directly invoke the power of the Law and wipe out a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    But that was just hypothetical.


    First Order, Seventh Stage Skills, is that possible? Unrealistic!


    "You are indeed smart to think of the crucial point," Dean Hai said, "That''s right! Normally, the Blazing Flame Clan would have easily seized the initiative and occupied this World within Worlds¡­ effortlessly."


    "But the key point is, Second Rank life can''t stay long in the World within Worlds," Dean Hai said.


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    Was it really that special?


    "The specifics have not been fully clarified by the alliance''s upper echelon, but if you agree to go, with your capabilities, you should be able to obtain all the information provided by the Blazing Flame Clan."


    "After all, the Blazing Flame Clan certainly does not want the matter to be public knowledge," said Dean Hai, "They only mentioned one thing¡­ this World within Worlds, the largest diameter exceeds 500 kilometers, it''s an artificial relic, or rather an artificial world."


    "An artificial world?" Li Yuan was so astonished he almost jumped up.


    An artificial world, simply understood as human-made space¡­ it''s known that Star Realms are born from collisions of different civilizations in space-time, something beyond the control of the Seven Star Alliance.


    Even the stabilization of the entrances and exits of the Star Realm is beyond the control of the Seven Star Alliance.


    And considering that a few cubic meters of Storage Magical Treasure can be worth hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins¡­ even with limited vision, Li Yuan could deduce a point¡ªthe Seven Star Alliance''s use of space is quite crude.


    The Mysteries of Space have far transcended the current human understanding of technology.


    So then.


    To open, or rather to create a world with a diameter over 500 kilometers? What kind of ability is that? Simply unimaginable.


    "You should realize the special nature of this World within Worlds."


    Dean Hai said, "This vast universe is actually filled with many unknowns. For instance, our civilization''s Seven Great Planets, why did the Seven Star Bridges appear, and why did they later evolve into the initial Star Realm... Even within our Seven Star human civilization, there are numerous unsolved mysteries."


    "Not to mention us."


    "Even those demigods standing at the pinnacle are still filled with confusion and hold a reverence for the universe," Dean Hai said.


    Li Yuan was listening.


    He had already discovered many unsolved mysteries while searching through the archives.


    Human cognition is like a circle, with the unknown lying beyond its edge... the more powerful one becomes, the larger the circle grows, and the greater the unknowns one encounters.


    "Relics of Worlds within Worlds like this one have been discovered by our human civilization quite a number of times," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    "If it''s a world naturally born, all its internal laws would be traceable," said Dean Hai. "But for such Worlds within Worlds, most internal rules are set by their creators... anything could happen."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Like a chicken in a poultry farm, in its understanding, perhaps when the feeder throws in the feed every day... is some kind of natural law of the universe.


    "To open up such an artificial world, demigods are incapable of doing so, they can''t even create a stable small space," said Dean Hai softly. "Either, it is some extremely powerful foreign civilization that has utilized a very special method."


    "Or it is... a god!" Dean Hai said slowly.


    Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.


    Gods?


    In fact, since becoming aware of beings surpassing the Sky-Flying level and even demigods, Li Yuan had subconsciously pondered this question¡ªif there are demigods... then are there gods?


    But today was the first time he heard confirmation from Dean Hai.


    "Are there really gods?" Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    "Yes," Dean Hai nodded firmly, his eyes twinkling with light as if recalling something. "We clearly know that within the Immortal Ruins Civilization... there exist gods."


    "A god, by nature, is just a powerful lifeform, but their essence of life has truly transcended our understanding and imagination... A single god could effortlessly destroy our entire civilization," Dean Hai said solemnly.


    There are gods in the Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    Li Yuan was startled. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Should we still contend with the Immortal Ruins Civilization?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Of course, we must contend," Dean Hai said slowly. "Precisely because we know how vast the universe is, and how cruel the struggles between countless civilizations can be... our entire civilization continuously strives to expand, to wage wars in various star realms, and does everything possible to strengthen itself."


    "If we are not strong enough, our entire civilization will eventually face extinction... In the information we have, there are not a few foreign civilizations that have been annihilated."


    "Not to mention the distant ones, Feixing has almost been wiped out."


    "All the efforts of the Seven Star Alliance are to prevent the calamity of civilization extinction," Dean Hai stated gravely.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    He thought of the Fish Spirit Tide he had once experienced.


    "The Immortal Ruins Civilization is indeed powerful, but this time the contention is only within one of its internal realms... Our Seven Star Alliance naturally dares to go for the challenge," Dean Hai said.


    "After all, this is most likely a relic of a god, and in my estimation, the reason the Blazing Flame Family has become so powerful, giving birth to many Sky-Flying beings, is definitely related to this relic world."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, like a Flying Heaven Warrior who casually takes out a treasure that could transform an ordinary martial artist.


    Gods!


    Capable of effortlessly destroying civilizations, the relics of a world they left behind, perhaps a mere trickle from between their fingertips... would be enough to drive demigods crazy.


    Of course, it''s also possible that this relic world isn''t as precious as the Seven Star Alliance imagines.


    Everything was hard to predict.


    "Many ordinary martial artists may be directly conscripted," Dean Hai said, looking at Li Yuan, "but for a peerless genius like you, things are naturally different."


    "The Alliance has its commitments."


    "First, any treasure you find in the ruins is yours to keep. If the Alliance finds something useful, we are willing to make an equivalent exchange," Dean Hai explained. "Second, if you ultimately drive away the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ we will reward you according to your contribution."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. The Alliance''s promises were still credible.


    "In fact."


    "In my eyes, your safety is naturally more important. After all, whether you succeed or fail does not have much to do with me," Dean Hai said. "I''m telling you all this in detail simply because I believe you could make a significant discovery."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh; Dean Hai was quite confident in him.


    "Don''t find it strange."


    "The Blazing Flame Family might sound powerful, but most of their Sky-Flying Level warriors rely on their bloodline," Dean Hai said with a trace of disdain. "They''ve been exploring for over a hundred years, which might sound like a long time, but what kind of geniuses can they really dispatch? Their entire clan is only ten thousand strong."


    "But what about you?"


    "You''re a once-in-decades peerless genius from Blue Star," Dean Hai said, looking at Li Yuan. "You''re the peerless genius chosen from hundreds of billions."


    "Your venture might yield unexpected gains," Dean Hai added.


    Li Yuan nodded again. It seemed that many people had tried their luck in this world of ruins before.


    Whether one could make a significant discovery also depended on the individual.


    "There are benefits, but there are also risks," Dean Hai said solemnly. "The first is the danger of the ruins world itself; according to the Blazing Flame Family... a Second Rank Life staying there long-term is surely doomed. One cannot exceed a year."


    "One year?" Li Yuan murmured internally.


    With that timeframe.


    Even with a plethora of treasures, it seemed at most, there could be Prime Warriors of the 23rd or 24th Stage.


    "Second, there''s the Immortal Ruins Civilization," Dean Hai said. "This civilization is indeed formidable. In our Seven Star Alliance, you are a top existence among First Rank Lives... but in the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there might be First Rank Lives stronger than you."


    Li Yuan listened but wasn''t surprised.


    With different environments come different sorts of geniuses. Two people of the same caliber ¨C one raised in the countryside and the other in the city ¨C can end up worlds apart... As a terrifying civilization with gods, it''s normal for them to cultivate any kind of genius.


    "I''ve told you both the benefits and risks. Whether you go or not is for you to decide," Dean Hai said. "Don''t rush to give me an answer. Just let me know your decision before six o''clock this afternoon."


    "If you have any questions, you can also ask the president directly," Dean Hai said.


    Dean Hai turned to leave.


    "Dean."


    Li Yuan suddenly thought of something, "May I ask, in which Second Level Star Realm is this world of ruins located?"


    "Feixing, Fierce Feather Star Realm."


    ...


    As he watched Dean Hai walk away.


    Li Yuan''s thoughts were still unsettled, echoing with the last words left by Dean Hai.


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm!


    Wasn''t it the very star realm Lin Lanyue had ventured to? Was it a coincidence? He then suddenly recalled the High Rank Cultivation Methods Lanyue had been practicing... It also seemed to fall under the category of Fire.


    After pondering for a while.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure moved, and in an instant, he had flown dozens of meters to the villa next to his own.


    ...


    "Brother Yuan," Gu Qianghan said, looking bewildered at Li Yuan.


    He had just been napping, dreaming about a climax when Li Yuan had grabbed him out of bed.


    What had happened?


    Could it not have waited just one more minute?


    "Gu Qiang, I want to ask you a question. Answer me honestly," Li Yuan''s expression was solemn. "Is your sister from the Blazing Flame Family above Feixing?"


    "Brother Yuan, why are you asking this? Are you checking my sister''s household registration?" Gu Qianghan was even more confused.


    Smack¡ªa slap on Gu Qianghan''s head made him much more alert.


    "It''s important, just tell me," Li Yuan said with a low voice. "There''s trouble with the Blazing Flame Family. Your sister told me she went to a star realm for an adventure, and I must clear this up."


    "Trouble with the Yan Family?" Gu Qianghan''s face showed a trace of shock. "How is that possible?"


    "Yan Family?" Li Yuan frowned.


    Wasn''t it the Lin Family? After all, both of Lin Lanyue''s brothers and her father were surnamed Lin.


    "Brother Yuan, my sister is not from the Blazing Flame Family," Gu Qianghan realized something significant must have happened. "But her mother is; her mother is a Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist from the Yan Family."


    "A Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist from the Yan Family?" Li Yuan finally understood Lin Lanyue''s background.


    Both her parents were Sky-Flying Level Martial Artists.


    "Give me your brothers'' communication numbers."


    ...


    Before long, Li Yuan was back in the underground martial arts room, attempting to call the two V-chat numbers.


    All attempts failed.


    "The system indicates that the target is not on Blue Star," the assistance AI reminded.


    Without hesitation, Li Yuan logged onto the virtual network.


    He arrived at Starfire Space.


    "Xiao Yu, activate ''Sky-Flying Level Access'' and open Alliance communications," Li Yuan said, very composed. "I need to contact ''Lin Quan'' from Starry Sky Martial Hall. His V-chat number is..."


    Between the Seven Great Planets, direct communication was actually possible, but ordinary people did not have the privilege.


    But Li Yuan did.


    Time ticked away, and Li Yuan waited patiently. After a full six minutes.


    Connection made!


    "Senior, good day. I''m Lin Quan," a voice that was both strange yet familiar and deep sounded. The system only indicated that the caller had ''Starfire Martial Hall Sky-Flying Level Access'' and did not reveal who it was, so he naturally assumed the other party was a Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist.


    "Lin Big Brother," Li Yuan spoke right away. "It''s Li Yuan."

 Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)

    "Li Yuan?" Lin Quan was stunned for a second.Immediately after, he figured out who it was from the way the other party addressed him.


    Although he had been far away in Feixing and hadn''t followed the global college Martial Path competition''s virtual battles,


    Li Yuan had become extremely popular in the past month, even on the virtual networks of Feixing, gaining a certain fame.


    Naturally, Lin Quan was also aware of this.


    "Hello, Li Yuan," Lin Quan immediately changed the way he addressed him, remaining extremely polite.


    As a 29th level Prime Warrior, and with both parents being Flying Heaven Warriors, his perspective was not like that of an ordinary Prime Warrior.


    Just from Li Yuan''s performance in the virtual battles and the ''Flying Heaven Warrior privileges'' displayed on the phone, he had already deduced... Li Yuan, his younger sister''s high school classmate, had suddenly obtained an astonishing influence.


    At least, his status in the Starfire Martial Hall was now extremely high.


    "Big brother Lin," Li Yuan got straight to the point, "My mentor just spoke to me about the ''Blazing Flame Family'' matter, inviting me to join the battle in the World within Worlds. Are you aware of the outbreak in the World within Worlds?"


    Li Yuan was extremely grateful in his heart towards Lin Quan.


    At that time, had it not been for him daring to bring Heavenly Materials Treasures just in time, his uncle would have certainly died.


    "The Blazing Flame Family?"


    Lin Quan hesitated, then said, "I''m not a member of the Blazing Flame Family, but I do know about this matter. Li Yuan, what is it that you want to know?"


    "About Lanyue," Li Yuan said directly, "After being eliminated from the Blue Star competition, she told me she was going to Feixing''s Fierce Feather Star Realm to seek her fortune. But I''ve just learned that your mother is a Flying Heaven Warrior from the Blazing Flame Family... I want to confirm if Lanyue has gone to the World within Worlds."


    Lin Quan was shocked inside.


    Firstly, from Li Yuan''s way of referring to Lin Lanyue, he could tell that their relationship was at least that of very close friends.


    Secondly, how had Li Yuan come to know so much information in such a short time?


    Li Yuan waited quietly for the other party''s response.


    After a silence of three seconds, Lin Quan stated in a low voice, "Yes, my little sister is trapped in the World within Worlds, and we''ve lost contact with her. But according to my parents... she is, with a high probability, still alive."


    "One of the demands the Blazing Flame Family has made in revealing the World within Worlds to the alliance is that they must rescue my sister... She is extremely important to the entire Blazing Flame Family," Lin Quan explained in detail.


    Logically, there were some things he shouldn''t say.


    But after a moment of reflection in his mind, he chose to reveal them to Li Yuan.


    "Alright, I understand," Li Yuan said.


    "Li Yuan," Lin Quan finally couldn''t help saying, "are you thinking about going to the World within Worlds? You''re just a freshman, and your Physical Quality might not be high enough, so don''t be impulsive."


    "This World within Worlds, where the Blazing Flame Family has long arranged for several junior Prime Warriors to rotate guarding duties, was still overwhelmed by raiders from the Immortal Ruins Civilization, it''s extremely dangerous," Lin Quan solemnly said.


    Lin Quan knew that Li Yuan was skilled, able to match even himself.


    But under normal circumstances, while skills could be comprehended instantly, Physical Quality needed time to accumulate.


    In Lin Quan''s view, like Lin Lanyue whose Physical Quality as a freshman had already grown to level 15, it was thanks to her bloodline gifts plus a large amount of resources.


    What about Li Yuan? How strong could his Physical Quality be if his skills were high but he lacked High Rank Cultivation Methods to assist him?


    "I won''t be impulsive," Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    "That''s good," Lin Quan let out a sigh of relief.


    "I''ll make thorough preparations before entering," Li Yuan stated seriously.


    Lin Quan was taken aback.


    "Alright, big brother Lin, I''m going to start preparing now," Li Yuan said, then promptly hung up the communication.


    Leaving a bewildered Lin Quan behind.


    He wondered if he hadn''t made himself clear just now.


    ...


    In the Martial Arts Room of the villa at Kunlun Martial University.


    "Lanyue, really went to the World within Worlds? And lost contact?" Li Yuan''s heart tightened; he was far from as composed as he had appeared.


    Until confirmation from Lin Quan, Li Yuan had always hoped she would not be there.


    Contrary to his wishes.


    The only saving grace was that Lin Quan''s words still gave Li Yuan a last glimmer of hope¡ªshe was alive.


    "From what Lin Quan said, does Lanyue hold an extremely high position in the Blazing Flame Family? Seems to be much higher than her two older brothers, and one of the conditions that the Blazing Flame Family has asked of the alliance is to save her?


    Could it be that she''s able to cultivate the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture''?" Li Yuan pondered silently, "Even so, her importance to the Blazing Flame Family shouldn''t be this high, right?"


    According to what Dean Hai had implied, if one could cultivate the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture'', the hopes of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior were greatly increased.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior is indeed very important. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But is it that important to a high-grade Spiritual Nature family that already has dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors?


    "It doesn''t matter now."


    "The more the alliance''s upper echelons value her, the greater the hope of rescuing Lanyue," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    The moment he knew Lin Lanyue was trapped in the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had made his decision¡ªto take on the challenge!


    Scenes with Lin Lanyue began to drift through Li Yuan''s mind.


    Their every encounter in the elite building of high school, exchanging martial skills; the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University; Lin Lanyue rushing back from the Lantis Continent especially when Xu Bo, their teacher, passed away... and her many times of assistance.


    Especially the time when she saved his uncle, an act Li Yuan would forever remember.


    The two of them, at this moment, could only be said to be friends with a very good relationship.


    But in a nebulous way, they both had some fond feelings for each other, only both consciously avoided many things... both were dedicated to Martial Path and didn''t wish to be distracted in their prime cultivation years.


    "However, when she saved my uncle and helped me many times... I have never been able to repay her," Li Yuan''s eyes carried a hint of killing intent: "This time, if I have the ability to do something, I cannot shrink back."


    "The Immortal Ruins Civilization? The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom? No matter how many Prime Warriors there are, I''ll kill all those who dare to block my way." Stay tuned to empire


    Li Yuan was always a person of passion.


    Just like before, when senior Liu Jing sacrificed himself to save him, seeing a sliver of hope for victory, Li Yuan risked his life to turn back and save him.

 Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)_2

    ```Now, it''s the same.


    Think everything through.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan directly sent a message to Dean Hai¡ª"Dean, I''m willing to go, and it''s best to depart as soon as possible."


    Only ten seconds later.


    Dean Hai made a call, which Li Yuan immediately answered, and the communication was established.


    "You''ve decided so quickly?" Dean Hai''s voice carried a note of surprise.


    "Once it''s clear, there''s no room for hesitation," Li Yuan said with a smile, not wishing to explain further.


    "Good," Dean Hai nodded and didn''t ask further, "I will report your name right away. In three hours, I''ll take you on a flyer to the ''Third Star Realm'', towards Feixing."


    "This mission is urgent and extremely dangerous... If there''s anything you haven''t taken care of, arrange it quickly."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded. Experience more on empire


    "Additionally,"


    "In ten minutes, an ''unrestricted loan'' of 20 billion Blue Star Coins will appear in the Starfire Treasure Vault of the Starfire Martial Hall for you," Dean Hai said, "You can purchase any item you want without the restriction of your contribution balance."


    "Once you''ve made your selection and submitted, the purchased treasures will be directly arranged for delivery outside the Fierce Feather Star Realm."


    "Take these 20 billion and buy more life-saving items," Dean Hai said, "I will also quickly draft a ''suggested list'' for you, which you can follow to make your purchases."


    "A 20 billion loan?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "This is the alliance''s benefit to you. If you fall in the World within Worlds... the loan will be written off," Dean Hai said, "But if you come back alive, you''ll need to repay the money."


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    20 billion Blue Star Coins, for a Level 19 Martial Artist, would be enough to buy a multitude of life-saving items, even if he were to become a Prime Warrior right away.


    "Alright, that''s all for now," Dean Hai said.


    "Okay."


    ...


    After ending the communication with Dean Hai, ten minutes later, Li Yuan received a notification.


    He received an ''unrestricted Starfire Vault loan'' of 20 billion from the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Li Yuan immediately logged into the virtual network.


    He entered the Starfire Space.


    "Master, you''ve come back so soon?" The sprite-like young girl was quite excited.


    "Don''t talk too much, open the Starfire Vault." Li Yuan said quietly.


    "Yes!"


    A giant screen appeared, revealing a vast category of treasures. Li Yuan saw the display of the 20 billion loan balance.


    There was no cash given, these loans had to be used to purchase treasures, and could only be for personal use.


    "Not bad."


    "Even if I have to repay it later, at least these 20 billion loans won''t consume my contribution limit; it''s a great benefit," Li Yuan thought quietly.


    One must make contributions, offering treasures to the Martial Hall, to receive contribution limits.


    "20 billion, how should I spend it?" Li Yuan pondered, his thoughts stirring. Quickly, a new screen appeared next to him.


    Displayed on it was the ''suggested shopping list'' just sent by Dean Hai.


    "Two ''Origin Purple Life-Extending Pills''."


    "Five Origin Power Battle Suits?"


    "Standard Storage Magical Treasure."


    "Five preferred Long Spears."


    "A large quantity of food and water."


    ...


    Li Yuan glanced over it, and Dean Hai''s suggested list of treasures boiled down to two points.


    First, buy several pieces of frequently used items, such as Origin Power Battle Suits, weapons, etc., to prevent damage in frequent battles.


    Second, life-saving items.


    "I''ll go with Dean Hai''s suggestions," Li Yuan decided, "But preparing a large amount of food and water doesn''t have to wait until reaching Feixing; I''ll get it ready at the school."


    Although Prime Warriors can absorb Origin Power, they haven''t reached the point of complete abstention from food.


    Especially water, which is very important.


    Li Yuan already had a Storage Magical Treasure, six cubic meters.


    Even if he allocated half of the space for storing food and water, it was already substantial.


    Three minutes later, Li Yuan had selected all the treasures he needed¡ªspending a total of 16.4 billion.


    Just two Origin Purple Life-Extending Pills alone cost 10 billion Blue Star Coins.


    For the Origin Power Battle Suits, and the like, Li Yuan chose second-rank top-quality, each valued at 2 billion Blue Star Coins, totaling 10 billion for five pieces.


    Weapons? One second-rank top-quality Long Spear cost 1 billion Blue Star Coins, and Li Yuan bought ten in one go.


    Li Yuan wasn''t worried about squandering.


    "If they don''t get used in the future, they can still be sold back to the Martial Hall," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    That is the advantage of having a Storage Treasure.


    Without a Storage Magical Treasure, he wouldn''t be able to carry so many weapons, Battle Garments, and other auxiliary treasures.


    Place the order!


    All purchased items will be rushed in from Feixing, and Li Yuan can collect them at the entrance of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ... S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After acquiring the treasures, standing in the Starfire Space,


    Li Yuan pondered for a while.


    He quickly drafted a will and took out 5 billion Blue Star Coins from his name as an inheritance for his uncle and aunt.


    As for the other 3 billion-plus? Li Yuan decided to donate to the Seven Star Alliance in the event of his death.


    "If luck doesn''t favor me and I really die in the World within Worlds, these funds will be more than enough for my uncle and aunt to live comfortably for the rest of their lives," thought Li Yuan, quite at peace with the idea.


    "The country and the Martial Hall spent so much money and resources to cultivate me... If I die, consider it some kind of feedback and contribution."


    ...


    Leaving the virtual network capsule,


    He returned to the Martial Arts Room.


    "Continue practicing the spear," Li Yuan took out the Black Chen Spear and resumed his training.


    The Black Chen Spear, just a second-rate lower-quality weapon, was getting a bit weak for Li Yuan, who was on the verge of breaking through.


    Mainly, its weight was no longer sufficient.


    However, just practicing the spear was not a big issue; with it, Li Yuan tried to calm his mind.


    The closer to life-and-death battles, the more one must face tests of life and death,


    The more one must stay calm.


    Anger? Impatience? They could all cost your life!


    ...


    In Feixing, within the city belonging to the Blazing Flame Family,


    At the top floor of that towering building,


    "Dad." Lin Quan looked at the muscular figure in silver armor projected on the screen¡ªa man in his early thirties with a decidedly heroic air.


    ```

 Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)_3

    He is Lin Lanyue''s father, also a councilor of the Six Stars in the Seven Star Alliance, and one of the high-ranking members of the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡ªLin Yue."You just messaged me, saying that Li Yuan came asking about your younger sister?" the towering figure in silver armor spoke with a deep voice.


    "Yes."


    Lin Quan nodded, clearly anxious, "From what Li Yuan said, he will soon set off for the World within Worlds. With his strength... going there..."


    "I know," the silver-armored figure interrupted his eldest son: "Li Yuan is stronger than you imagine. Did it not occur to you that if his strength were inadequate, would his teacher have discussed this matter with him?"


    Lin Quan was stunned, quickly coming to a realization.


    Indeed! If Li Yuan were not strong enough, where else could he have received such news?


    "Dad, I was wrong," Lin Quan said with a wry smile.


    "Concern leads to chaos, which is quite normal," the silver-armored figure sighed softly: "Looking at it now, whether your sister can come back alive... we may truly have to rely on Li Yuan."


    "Ah?" Lin Quan gasped in surprise.


    "After all, the World within Worlds ultimately relies on these First Order Limit martial artists to struggle," the towering figure in silver armor regained his composure: "Since technological weapons can''t be used in the World within Worlds... then, a top genius becomes very important."


    "Perhaps, looking at the entire Human Alliance, there are a few martial artists at Level 19 whose strength could be compared to Li Yuan''s, but not everyone may be willing to go... Geniuses possessing Fifth Stage Skill at First Order are few in our entire civilization. They are almost as important as your sister; the Alliance won''t force these geniuses," he continued.


    Lin Quan listened attentively and couldn''t help himself: "Dad, could it be that my little sister really... "


    "Don''t ask anymore; this is not something you should concern yourself with," said the towering figure in silver armor: "Right now, your worrying is useless."


    "Your mother and I will keep an eye on this matter and make every effort to rescue your sister."


    "What you should do is calm down and concentrate on your cultivation."


    "Strive to achieve Fifth Stage Perfection as soon as possible," the silver-armored towering figure said, and then he disconnected the communication.


    ...


    Time went by.


    After practicing with his spear for over two hours, Li Yuan took a shower and packed some clean clothes into his Storage Treasure.


    Then, he stored the vast quantities of compressed food and water delivered by the logistics department into his Storage Treasure.


    Another half an hour passed.


    "Li Yuan, come out, it''s time to go," Dean Hai''s voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan''s mind.


    Whoosh!


    With a single motion, Li Yuan stepped out of his villa.


    Dean Hai was waiting outside on the lawn.


    "You didn''t tell the other students, did you?" Dean Hai asked.


    "I didn''t," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "That''s good," Dean Hai nodded: "This time, the school is sending a total of 16 people to Feixing with you, all of them at Level 19 martial artists... but they are unaware of your existence. They are all waiting inside the flyer now."


    "Remember, I will do my best to keep you separated from them, but no matter whom you encounter, unless there''s a clear introduction, try not to reveal your identity," Dean Hai cautioned.


    "Understood."


    "Let''s go."


    Dean Hai gripped Li Yuan''s shoulder, and an invisible force enveloped them, instantly blurring the light around them, making them invisible to the naked eye of others.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With Li Yuan in tow, Dean Hai surged towards the sky, quickly heading for the Kunlun Martial University''s airport. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A short while later.


    A large flyer took off from the airport.


    ...


    The Seven Star Alliance possesses seven great Life Planets.


    Although all within the same stellar system, even the shortest distance between any two of the Seven Great Planets is tens of millions of kilometers...the farthest is nearly a billion kilometers.


    Impossibly distant.


    Interstellar travel between these planets, not to mention the difficulty of the journey itself, would take years, even longer, if one were to voyage between the two most distant planets... Communication among the Seven Great Planets is maintained through the Star Realm.


    Inside the flyer.


    In a separate cabin, only Li Yuan and Dean Hai.


    "Of the Seven Great Planets, Blue Star, Firefly Star, Lan Tie Star, Cang Lei Star, Sea Heaven Star, Black Moon Star, Feixing... in terms of population and resources, Feixing has the most, with a population exceeding 50 billion," Dean Hai spoke softly: "Next is Sea Heaven Star, with a population over 30 billion."


    "Then comes our Blue Star, with a population of over 10 billion."


    "The least populous is Lan Tie Star, with a population of about 4 billion," Dean Hai continued: "The other three each have a population of about 10 billion."


    Li Yuan listened, aware of the basic information about the Seven Great Planets; he knew it already.


    With Flying Heaven level authority, one could learn the details.


    The combined population of the Seven Great Planets of the Seven Star Alliance exceeds 1.2 trillion.


    Over the past century, the Seven Star Alliance has also gradually developed ''proliferation areas'' in many Star Realms, so the total population of the entire civilization is close to two trillion.


    However, humans from the Star Realm proliferation areas generally do not come to the Seven Great Planets.


    "Among the Seven Great Planets, Feixing is the core and the most important planet in our entire civilization," Dean Hai continued softly: "Each of our Six Great Planets has a Star Realm connected to Feixing."


    Find adventures on empire


    "These six Star Realms are also known as the Primitive Star Realms, the original six Star Realms of our civilization... All of them evolved from Star Bridges," he explained.


    "These six Star Realms are all Third Level Star Realms, essentially corridors," Dean Hai said: "None of them is large in size, all are completely controlled by our Seven Star Alliance."


    Third Level Star Realm?


    Li Yuan instantly understood why Feixing suffered several catastrophes over the years, yet the other Six Great Planets remained relatively safe... Fourth Rank demigods couldn''t travel through these Star Realms to other planets.


    "So the demigods of the major planets can''t enter these Star Realms and can only remain on their own planets?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Of course not," Dean Hai chuckled: "Demigods, if they want to travel to other planets, are aware of the precise spacetime coordinates of each planet... They can cross the starry sky with their fleshly bodies."


    "The numerous rays, storms, and so on in the universe are major threats to Flying Heaven Warriors, so they can only enter space for a short time," he said.

 Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)_4

    ```"But these things pose no threat to the demigods," they can even directly absorb the cosmic energy that drifts freely through the universe...


    "Although the speed of the demigods is not bad compared to the vast and boundless starry sky, it''s still too slow."


    Li Yuan was dumbfounded. Physical travel across billions of kilometers of remote star space?


    This is what being a demigod entails!


    "Exactly because traversing the starry sky is tough, people like Senior Dongfang Ji wouldn''t easily leave Feixing," Dean Hai said, "The other Six Great Planets also have demigods guarding them to prevent any mishaps."


    "For example, Bai Shan Semi-Divine has always been stationed on Blue Star."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Time passed.


    Through his exchanges with Dean Hai, along with what he saw in the data library, Li Yuan''s understanding of the Seven Star Alliance and the Seven Great Planets had reached a new level. Discover exclusive tales on empire


    ...


    Several hours later.


    The spacecraft landed outside the entrance to the "Third Star Realm" on the Lantis Continent.


    There was an enormous airport here, bustling with a significant flow of people.


    A group disembarked from the spacecraft.


    "What a huge entrance," Li Yuan''s eyelids twitched.


    Gazing into the distance, he saw the massive entrance that seemed to tear open the sky, tens of kilometers wide and over five kilometers tall... On the other side of the sky curtain was another world, with mountains, rivers, and cities, too.


    But the world on the other end was filled with starlight, contrasting starkly with the daylight on this side.


    It was a very eerie sight.


    Even having seen it several times on the virtual network, Li Yuan had to admit that the enormous and stable portal to the Star Realm was indeed awe-inspiring.


    ...


    Travelling on a high-speed train directly through the Third Star Realm, the land was vast, with continual mountain ranges.


    Passing through numerous towns.


    Aside from the starlight above, Li Yuan felt no difference from Blue Star.


    "The entire Third Star Realm has a maximum diameter of over 4000 kilometers and is home to nearly two hundred million people," Dean Hai said.


    "That''s quite significant," Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    Half a day later, they passed through the Third Star Realm to Feixing.


    Then they boarded another aircraft.


    Dean Hai, along with Li Yuan and the other sixteen students from Kunlun Martial University, finally arrived at "Fierce Feather City" on Feixing.


    A city named after the Fierce Feather Star Realm, bustling with a population of over ten million.


    It was extremely prosperous.


    All along the way, Li Yuan had noticed that apart from being vast, Feixing didn''t seem much different from Blue Star in other respects.


    "The War Fortress," Li Yuan sat in the two-seater cabin of the aircraft.


    Through the window, Li Yuan saw the immense War Fortress at the edge of the sky, towering over a thousand meters.


    The fortress covered an area as vast as Kunlun Martial University, if not larger.


    "Did you remember what I said just now?" Dean Hai spoke, "The other six have already arrived; you make the seventh. But there''s only one Fourth Rank artifact, the ''Myriad Life Extension Fruit'', up for grabs this time. To secure it, you''ll have to rely on your own strength and not hold back." sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I understand," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    On the way here.


    Dean Hai had been in contact with the Alliance''s higher-ups, so Li Yuan was already aware of the general situation.


    With the current emergency draft,


    The Seven Star Alliance had already recruited over 5000 Martial Artists with Fifth Stage skills and above from the Seven Great Planets; more than 200 of them could break through to Prime Warrior at any moment.


    There were seven talents with Fifth Stage Skills like Li Yuan!


    In addition to "credit limits" given to each person to purchase artifacts to enhance their survival capabilities,


    The Seven Star Alliance had also prepared some "generous gifts" to quickly increase the strength of Prime Warriors.


    For instance¡ªthe Fourth Rank artifact, the "Myriad Life Extension Fruit."


    With just one, a recently advanced Prime Warrior could rapidly reach a Physical Quality of around level 22.


    However, such Fourth Rank artifacts were immensely valuable and rare even within the Seven Star Alliance.


    There was only one available this time.


    So, who would get it?


    Naturally, it would go to the strongest in real combat.


    Only then could the army quickly produce a tremendously powerful force upon entering the World within Worlds and achieve a decisive impact.


    "We''re almost there," Dean Hai said.


    Swoosh!


    Soon, the aircraft slowly landed on the runway next to the War Fortress.


    Clang~


    The doors of the aircraft opened, and everyone began to exit one by one, Li Yuan following suit. He immediately saw, not far away on another recently landed aircraft, a group of First Rank Martial Artists disembarking.


    "Hm?"


    Li Yuan''s eyes flickered as he recognized a familiar face: "Alicia?"


    ```

 Chapter 234 Alicias Trump Card! Competing for the Treasure! (Two-in-One for Monthly Tickets)

    During the virtual battle, aside from Dantai Feng, the person who attracted Li Yuan''s attention the most was Alicia.Because the Martial Arts University she attended was only slightly better than Jiangbei Martial University and far from the likes of Kunlun Martial University and Kyoto Martial University, which are well-known local institutions.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had checked, her college entrance exam scores weren''t very good, and she hadn''t even made it into the virtual battle knockout round (top thousand) by her sophomore year, but then she had undergone an astonishing transformation within just one year.


    Within that year, her skills had leaped from the high ranks of Fourth Level all the way to Fifth Stage, and she even stood at the pinnacle of the Blue Star competition.


    She even entered the top five in the end.


    Deep down, Li Yuan really admired her, just as he always admired Tian Dazhuang.


    Those who emerge from hardships and sharpen their will and determination often progress faster the further they go.


    A person''s talent is never fixed and unchangeable from birth.


    "Oh? That little girl has come too?" Dean Hai, standing beside Li Yuan, had also noticed the blond-haired, blue-eyed Alicia not far away.


    Stay tuned for updates on empire


    Dean Hai had watched the virtual battles and was deeply impressed by Alicia.


    "Her skills are so advanced, yet she hasn''t become a Prime Warrior by her junior year?" Dean Hai''s eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.


    "Dean, like me, she hasn''t awakened her Martial Spirit," Li Yuan explained in a low voice.


    "Heh, you seem to know a lot about her, got your eye on the young lady?" Dean Hai chuckled, "And you, you don''t even have a matching high-rank Cultivation Method, so how did you almost become a Prime Warrior as a freshman?"


    Li Yuan could only give a wry smile, unable to answer.


    The higher the skill, the more one could unearth one''s physical potential, and the faster the improvement in physical quality... but ultimately, it requires time to accumulate.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, people like Dantai Feng had extremely favorable external conditions, yet their physical quality had only reached level 15.


    Naturally, they wouldn''t attempt to break into World within Worlds.


    While high-rank Fifth Stage Martial Artists who had been cultivating for several years, like Jin Huguo and Yin Man, were mostly already Prime Warriors and didn''t even get the chance to enter the Middle Realm.


    Therefore, looking across the Seven Star Alliance, there is a large batch of talented Martial Path practitioners at the university level (freshman to fifth year) who have reached Fifth Stage Skill, totaling over a thousand... But to enter World in Worlds, one must be First Order life or below, so the number of people who meet the criteria naturally plummeted.


    Furthermore, not everyone is willing to go to battle.


    In the end, throughout the entire Seven Star Alliance, only seven Fifth Stage prodigies came.


    Among those affiliated with Blue Star, Li Yuan estimated that only he and Alicia were present.


    In fact, based on the conversations Li Yuan had with Dean Hai along their way, their civilization has quite a few opportunities similar to World within Worlds, including many relic sites... but whether one can enter often depends on luck.


    "Teacher, where are we going now?" Li Yuan asked softly.


    "Other students from the school are mostly regular conscripts; they will join the main force and stand by," Dean Hai said, "The seven of you, who are the strongest, will have a separate meeting with you."


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    This entry into the World within Worlds was divided into three levels of conscription by the Seven Star Alliance.


    The first level was for those like him and Alicia, who were the main fighting force.


    The second level consisted of more than 200 elite fighters who had reached the First Order Limit and were on the verge of becoming Prime Warriors.


    The third level included more than 5,000 level 19 Martial Artists.


    "Let''s go." Dean Hai, having led Li Yuan through the identity check at the entrance, quickly entered the inner wall of the War Fortress. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As for the other 17 students from Kunlun Martial University, naturally, someone from the military would come to meet them.


    A few hundred meters away at the airport runway.


    "Li Yuan?"


    Alicia, who had also caught sight of Li Yuan, showed a flicker of surprise in her eyes, "He''s only a freshman, right? Rumor has it that, like me, he also hasn''t matched a high-rank Cultivation Method. Could it be that his Physical Quality is already close to that of a Prime Warrior? How did he do that?"


    Just like Li Yuan was rather familiar with Alicia.


    Li Yuan, as the most dazzling presence in the Blue Star competition, was highly noticed and Alicia had privately looked up information about him.


    Suddenly.


    "Alicia, don''t underestimate this young man, his spiritual power should have already reached Flying Heaven Level," a childlike voice echoed in her mind.


    "Flying Heaven Level?" Alicia was even more startled internally, fully aware of what that signified.


    "Little Star, why don''t you come out?" Alicia responded with curiosity.


    "Dare not," the childlike voice said, "A Flying Heaven Level being will be able to produce Divine Sense... Ordinary Divine Sense can''t detect my presence, but that Li Yuan, the handsome man beside him, his spiritual power is probably at level 35. If I come out, he''ll be able to perceive my presence."


    "Level 35 spiritual power?" Alicia''s heart grew even more shocked, "A Flying Heaven Warrior?"


    She did not recognize Dean Hai, but she could sense his extraordinariness.


    "Could it be that a Flying Heaven Warrior personally escorted Li Yuan here?" Alicia thought.


    "Alicia, let''s go," a rough voice sounded, and immediately a burly figure walked down from the aircraft, "I will take you to the base. After that, you will follow the arrangements."


    "Yes, Teacher," Alicia nodded. The person escorting her was a top-grade Origin Martial Artist teacher.


    Her and Li Yuan''s standings within the alliance differed.


    Whoosh!


    Alicia followed the burly figure toward the nearby massive war base.


    "Alicia, don''t worry too much," the childlike voice resounded in her mind again, "Your civilization is just a small Fourth Level Civilization. Li Yuan is merely stronger than you at the current stage... With me by your side, you will definitely surpass him gradually."


    "Follow my plan, and at the very least, you climbing step by step to the peak of your civilization is absolutely no problem," the childlike voice asserted.


    "Okay, got it," Alicia responded perfunctorily in her mind.

 Chapter 234 Alicias Trump Card! Competing for the Treasure! (Two-in-One for Monthly Tickets)_2

    ```"Don''t believe me?" That childish voice couldn''t help but say, "This World within Worlds must have been left by a Divine, as long as we... we will succeed."


    Alicia listened to the babbling childish voice, no longer responding, and stepped into the War Fortress.


    She knew that Little Star was very powerful, but she was also used to its pie-in-the-sky ideas.


    She had become somewhat immune to them.


    No matter how great Little Star''s vision and knowledge were, now only a wisp of a remnant soul remained... without even a physical body, in the end, it was still up to her to fight.


    ...


    War Fortress, the twenty-seventh floor.


    The entire fortress was all-metal, incredibly sturdy, with not even a Prime Warrior able to leave any trace, and inside there were more than one hundred levels.


    "Li Yuan, I will escort you this far," Dean Hai said with a smile, "Your identity information and so on have already been recorded in the entire base... just wait for the order."


    "When you come out of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, I will be the first to come and pick you up," Dean Hai said. Experience tales at empire


    "Okay, thank you, Dean," Li Yuan nodded, clear in his mind as well.


    This time, the Dean was worried about a leak of his whereabouts and the possibility of an assassination en route, hence the special escort.


    Otherwise, dispatching a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist would have been sufficient.


    "You are my student, I may not have taught you much, but I won''t be negligent when it''s my turn to do something," Dean Hai patted Li Yuan, speaking solemnly, "Go."


    "I have only one request for you," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    "Come back alive."


    ...


    Watching Dean Hai leave, Li Yuan turned and entered his own rest room.


    The room was not much different from an ordinary university dormitory, except that there were no windows, completely enclosed.


    After verifying his identity, he gained access to the room.


    He closed the door.


    "Simulate, Starry Sky scene," Li Yuan called out loudly.


    Whoosh! Whether it was the floor or the ceiling, the four walls all changed, making Li Yuan feel as if he were in the vast starry sky.


    "Much more comfortable to look at," Li Yuan walked straight to the center of the rest room and sat down cross-legged.


    He began his basic cultivation for the day.


    As usual, he first practiced the Visualization Method, then practiced "All Heavens'' Stars"... It was inconvenient to cultivate on the road, and he could not afford to delay even one day.


    ...


    In the blink of an eye, more than four hours passed.


    Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, "Basic Fist Strength, has finally reached 70,000 kilograms."


    A standard Physical Quality of 19.9 is Fist Strength of 70,000 kilograms, and a speed of 115 meters per second. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At 20.0, it is Fist Strength of 80,000 kilograms and a speed of 120 meters per second.


    "If I were like those predecessors of the past, without High Rank Cultivation Methods, then I would have to continue to improve my Physical Quality until my Basic Fist Strength reached 80,000 kilograms, and my body''s Sea of Source Energy would open up on its own, naturally able to accumulate Origin Power," Li Yuan thought to himself, "then I would truly be an Origin Warrior."


    Life Level reaching 20, the Sea of Source Energy being created, the body would gradually absorb external Origin Power, that was an ironclad rule.


    However, without awakening Star Meridians and relying purely on the body''s instinct to absorb Origin Power, the efficiency would be frighteningly low.


    Thus, Law Creation is a must!


    What is the essence of a Cultivation Technique? It''s to awaken Life Star Veins.


    "However, I have now awakened three Star Meridians, no different from a 19.9 Level Martial Artist normally practicing a High Rank Cultivation Method," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Now, as long as I am willing, a single thought can operate the three Star Meridians, form the Zhou Tian, create the Sea of Source Energy...


    a large amount of Origin Power will accumulate, and my Physical Quality will transform to 80,000 kilograms in an extremely short time."


    There isn''t an essential difference between Unranked Life and First Rank Life.


    But the biggest difference between First Rank Life and Second Rank Life is the ''Sea of Source Energy.''


    Once created, it''s an essential leap in Life Level.


    The Sea of Source Energy can store a large amount of Origin Power.


    Like Li Yuan, though it seems he has awakened several Star Meridians and can use a small amount of Origin Power, the reason he''s still First Rank Life... is that his Sea of Source Energy hasn''t been created yet.


    In simple terms.


    In all aspects such as technique, spiritual power, and physical quality, Li Yuan could become an Origin Warrior at any time.


    "Patience is key."


    "When I enter the World within Worlds, I will be able to become an Origin Warrior," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Another half hour went by.


    Ding~ The doorbell suddenly rang.


    Li Yuan, who was silently practicing his Spear Technique, immediately gestured, and the Origin Power Longspear was stored inside a Storage Treasure.


    He opened the door.


    "Martial Artist Li Yuan."


    Standing at the door were three Martial Artist officers, the leading officer said with a smile, "The items you purchased from the Starfire Treasure Vault have arrived, please check them."


    Then, he lifted a metallic box.


    "Alright," Li Yuan didn''t hesitate, and entered 12-digit ''receipt code'' directly on the metallic box.


    Clang~


    The metal box opened, revealing a nail-sized silver sliver within the many layers of protection.


    The three Martial Artist officers nearby showed a flicker of curiosity in their eyes.


    A silver sliver? What is this?


    "A Storage Treasure?" Li Yuan''s eyes brightened subtly, his powerful spiritual power emanated outward without a sound, swiftly imprinting a Spiritual Imprint.


    Ownership established!


    Immediately, Li Yuan ''saw'' clearly within the three-cubic-meter Storage Treasure, all the items he had purchased were in place.


    The Origin Power Longspear, Origin Power Battle Suit, Source Purple Life-Extending Pills, and so on.


    He confirmed everything was correct.


    "Okay, thank you," Li Yuan finally spoke, took the silver sliver, returned the metal box to the officers.


    "Fine, Martial Artist Li Yuan."


    "The vanguard team has already departed, in thirty minutes, please gather in meeting room 47902," the leading officer said solemnly, "There, the ownership of treasures will be directly decided, don''t be late."


    "Alright, thanks for the heads-up."


    ...


    Half an hour later, having integrated the newly acquired Storage Treasure into his body, Li Yuan reached the designated meeting room.


    This meeting room was nearly a thousand square meters in size.


    Calling it a meeting room, it was actually a huge Martial Arts Room.


    ```

 Chapter 234 Alicias Trump Card! Competing for the Treasure! (Two-in-One for Monthly Tickets)_3

    By the time he arrived, there were already six figures in the conference room, each with a distinct appearance, but all very young.Almost instinctively, Li Yuan had already deployed Divine Palace Inquiry; the weakest was level 19.7, the strongest was 19.9.


    However, there was no reminder of ''Earning Spiritual Nature upon Killing''.


    "Another one has arrived."


    "Who''s this? Seems to be Li Yuan from Blue Star, isn''t he just a freshman?"


    "To be here, it means his Physical Quality has reached at least level 19, truly a freak."


    "No wonder my teacher said he''s the strongest prodigy to emerge in the Alliance in recent years."


    "I''ve heard he''s very powerful." Seeing Li Yuan walking into the conference room, the other six had already looked over, with several of them showing curiosity in their eyes.


    Clearly, most of the people present knew of Li Yuan.


    These individuals were the top talents of their respective planets, but in terms of fame, they were far less known than Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan." A blonde, blue-eyed woman stood up, walked over, and took the initiative to greet him.


    "Alicia, I didn''t expect our first real-life meeting to be here," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    The two hadn''t interacted much in virtual combat, but they had sparred once.


    And since they were both from Blue Star, subconsciously, they naturally felt closer to one another.


    "Li Yuan, hello, I''ve heard my teacher mention you." A towering young man over two meters tall approached. His eyes were bright as he stared at Li Yuan, "First in Blue Star''s virtual combat contest, the first freshman to win the championship."


    Enjoy exclusive content from empire


    "Hello." Li Yuan smiled as he looked at the other.


    He had no idea who the other was.


    "Li Yuan, his name is Si Feng, he''s from Feixing Starry Sky University." Alicia introduced from the side.


    Obviously, the six of them had just gotten to know one another.


    "However, virtual combat is different from actual combat; your skill level may be very high," Si Feng grinned at Li Yuan, "but the Myriad Life Extension Fruit will definitely be mine."


    "Oh? Is that so?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh, "Then let''s try sparring in a while."


    "Good." Si Feng smiled, "If you can defeat me, when we enter World within Worlds, I''ll listen to you."


    Li Yuan laughed; he found Si Feng''s straightforward personality quite appealing.


    "Li Yuan, don''t mind Si Feng," Alicia smiled from the side, "haven''t you noticed, it''s not just Si Feng, the way the others look at you is also different?"


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; he had noticed the moment he walked through the door.


    "Since you won the virtual combat championship, speaking of fame alone, it has spread across the Seven Great Planets, and many say you are the number one prodigy of the Alliance''s current era," Alicia said with a smile, "There''s only one Myriad Life Extension Fruit, aside from me, everyone else probably wants to compete for it, naturally seeing you as their biggest competition."


    "Oh?" Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    It sounded like he had become the Great Demon King?


    ... As time passed, Li Yuan interacted with the rest one by one.


    They all got to know each other as well.


    Beyond Alicia, among the other five, Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Kross were all from Feixing.


    Another woman named Bai Ya came from Tianhai Star.


    And a quiet young man with red skin was from Heilong Star; his name was Bai Xing.


    Just by the distribution of the planets they belonged to, sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    it was clear that Feixing was indeed the most powerful of the Seven Stars of the Seven Star Alliance, brimming with geniuses, far surpassing the other Six Great Planets.


    Suddenly.


    "Now that everyone''s here, there''s no need for me to go urging one by one." A low voice came from the doorway, as if there was an invisible magic power that tightened everyone''s heart, followed by a red-clothed young man with short hair who walked into the conference room, appearing to be around thirty years old.


    He immediately caught the attention of Li Yuan and the others.


    "[Target organism, life level 29.9]" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    He was a Prime Warrior.


    It wasn''t just Li Yuan, Alicia, Si Feng, and everyone with Fifth Stage Skill also sensed the fearsomeness of the red-clothed youth, who appeared unshakeable in their perception.


    "My name is Wu Manong, you can call me by my name," the red-clothed youth scanned over the seven of them.


    "Wu Manong?"


    "Is it him?" Among the seven, talents from Feixing like Si Feng showed a hint of shock on their faces.


    Meanwhile, Alicia and the others looked clueless.


    "So it''s him." Li Yuan instantly knew who the other party was, with relevant information about him surfacing in his mind.


    Wu Manong, a talent from Feixing!


    Like Yu Jinghe, he was an extraordinary talent who had comprehended Sixth Stage Skill and could have achieved Flying Heaven Level but, similar to Yu Jinghe, had always held back from breaking through.


    "Staying at level 29 for so long, he must be awakening more Star Meridians," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Yu Jinghe was an exceptionally top-grade talent rarely seen in Xia Country, but in the context of the entire Seven Star Alliance, there were still a few top-grade Origin Martial Artists who could match him.


    Wu Manong was one of them.


    Wu Manong spoke in an icy tone, "I''m in charge of your operation this time, and will be escorting you into the World within Worlds. All of you are Martial Path talents highly regarded by the Alliance, some even with Flying Heaven Level access, so, I don''t want to make things difficult for you; I hope we can cooperate enjoyably."


    Including Li Yuan, everyone sensed that Wu Manong might be difficult to handle.


    "The first matter."


    "The ownership of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit." Wu Manong flipped his palm, and a jade tray appeared in his hand; on the tray sat a crystal-clear fruit, with divine light seemingly sweeping across its surface.


    An extraordinary aura spread out, causing the pupils of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others to light up noticeably.


    A fourth-rank treasure, the Myriad Life Extension Fruit!


    "Unlike the enhancement of spiritual power, the Transformation of Physical Quality involves many aspects and is quite complicated.


    Therefore, treasures that can cause rapid and significant Transformation of Physical Quality without leaving any aftermath are very rare," Wu Manong''s voice was icy, "and your Physical Quality is too weak, some of the more powerful effects from the treasures could completely burst you."

 Chapter 234 Alicias Trump Card! Competing for the Treasure! (Two-in-One for Monthly Tickets)_4

    Li Yuan and Alicia were all listening."The Myriad Life Extension Fruit is the most suitable item for you all, after careful consideration by the alliance''s higher-ups,"


    "The enhancement of Physical Quality is actually just a secondary aspect; its core function is for injury healing," Wu Manong said calmly, "Even for a Flying Heaven Warrior, even if they are near death, consumption of the fruit can save their life."


    Everyone was astonished. Something that could save a Flying Heaven Warrior''s life?


    To give to them, First Rank Warriors?


    "After you take it, not only will your Physical Quality improve significantly, but your body''s cell vitality will also far surpass that of other Prime Warriors, and your injuries will heal quicker," Wu Manong said, "In short... it''s extremely precious, exceeding your imaginations."


    "It is specifically for this mission that the alliance has taken it out."


    "Whoever has the strongest ability will get it," Wu Manong said calmly, "Who would like to be the overlord and accept challenges from the others?"


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The other six people all turned to look at Li Yuan.


    Clearly, in their subconscious, the others all believed that Li Yuan was the strongest.


    Li Yuan, feeling somewhat helpless, had no choice but to stand up: "Elder Wu, I''ll do it."


    "I''ve said it, call me Wu Manong, not Elder. I am not that old," Wu Manong said coldly.


    Li Yuan paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes."


    "Good, Li Yuan will be our overlord," Wu Manong''s gaze swept across the other six individuals, "Who wishes to challenge him?"


    "Me!"


    A voice rang out immediately. It wasn''t Si Feng, but another Feixing talent, ''Kross.''


    "Good."


    "Full armor combat, take the blunted weapons from the rack over there, remember, you are just sparring, no lethal blows allowed," Wu Manong deliberately glanced at Li Yuan.


    ... sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan and Kross stood in the Martial Arts Room,


    facing each other from tens of meters apart.


    Meanwhile, Wu Manong, Alicia, and the others all stood far away, at the edge of the Martial Arts Room.


    "Li Yuan," Kross, with his silver hair and handsome features full of exotic charm, held a long stick in his hand.


    Boom!


    He instantly moved.


    "They''ve engaged," Si Feng, Xiong Ze, Bai Ya, and the rest stared intently.


    Only Alicia seemed calm, well aware of the terror that was Li Yuan.


    Tens of meters apart, for combatants near the Prime Warrior''s level, it was far too close, akin to a distance of one or two meters between ordinary people.


    Whoosh!


    Kross instantly closed the gap with Li Yuan, his metal long stick whirling and coming down fiercely on Li Yuan''s head.


    But.


    Li Yuan had remained standing in place quietly from start to finish.


    "Not fighting back yet?" Kross had a flicker of doubt in his heart. Could it be that Li Yuan planned to take his strike with his body?


    The next instant.


    "Boom!" A terrifying Spiritual Shock swept through, causing Kross''s mind to reel... instantly losing control of his body.


    Thump~


    With a single step, Li Yuan swung his Long Spear, the shaft whipping out and striking Kross directly on his body, sending him flying backwards and crashing heavily to the ground.


    A full second passed.


    "I?" Kross slowly managed to sit up, his mind only now fully clearing, his eyes filled with shock: "What just happened?"


    "You were lenient," Li Yuan said indifferently.


    ...Si Feng, Xiong Ze, Bai Xing, and the others nearby were silent as sparrows.


    In their eyes, the clash between Li Yuan and Kross had been like lightning, but Kross had been sent flying with a single strike, without any chance to fight back.


    Had Li Yuan not just sent the other flying,


    but instead had run the spear tip across Kross''s neck, Kross might already be a corpse.


    "Li Yuan has won," Wu Manong''s eyes flashed with surprise, then he looked over at Si Feng and the rest: "Si Feng, do you still want to continue challenging Li Yuan?"


    "Not at all?" Si Feng shook his head swiftly, shaking like a tambourine.


    The others also shook their heads in unison.


    Who were they kidding? In terms of strength, Kross was at the First Order Limit and possessed Fifth Stage Skills, yet he had been defeated in one move. They would undoubtedly lose if they stepped up.


    "Good."


    "The Myriad Life Extension Fruit goes to Li Yuan," Wu Manong stated calmly, "In ten minutes we go downstairs."


    "Get ready to enter the Star Realm."

 Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)

    ```Across the vast land, three red moons hung in the sky, their fiery, hazy light enveloping the earth.


    This place was the ''Fierce Feather Star Realm'', a Second Level Star Realm.


    The largest diameter of the Star Realm exceeds thirty thousand kilometers, containing the ''Reproduction Zone'' of a Seven Star Civilization.


    The core area of the Reproduction Zone spans over two thousand kilometers, with a warning zone extending out to three thousand kilometers.


    At this moment, deep underground in the warning zone, nearly a kilometer down, a high-speed train was speeding forward.


    Within one of the train''s carriages.


    Were Wu Manong, Li Yuan, Alicia and seven other First Rank Martial Path geniuses.


    "I''ll keep it short,"


    "Over 200 of the first battalion of 500 Level 19 Martial Artists sent into the World within Worlds have died," Wu Manong said indifferently.


    "What?"


    "So many are dead?"


    "More than forty percent," Li Yuan and Alicia''s expressions changed. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They were aware that the first group of conscripted Martial Artists had already gone in, but the death rate was truly frightening.


    "The second batch of 1500 people is currently being arranged to enter," Wu Manong continued, "The goal of these first two thousand people is actually just one: to attract firepower for you and buy time for a breakthrough."


    "After they enter in sequence, through the various predetermined channels, they will storm into all regions of the World within Worlds as squads... Based on our current intelligence, the forces of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom are strong, but it seems they have not yet realized the importance of the World within Worlds.


    They have limited numbers, less than two hundred people, of which there are only a few dozen Prime Warriors."


    "Thousands of Level 19 Martial Artists will go into battle; they won''t be able to finish them off in a short time."


    "Once the 2000 of them enter, it will be your turn," Wu Manong said slowly.


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and Si Feng felt their hearts tighten, already sensing the brutality of what lay ahead.


    The previous two thousand were just to draw fire for them?


    "Your top priority after entering is to break through and become Prime Warriors," Wu Manong stated, before waving his hand.


    Whoosh! Seven silver boxes flew simultaneously and landed in front of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others.


    "Within these silver boxes are ''Myriad Star Fruits'', a top-tier Three Rank treasure. Each is worth more than ten billion Blue Star Coins, specially prepared by the Alliance for you," Wu Manong said indifferently, "The one with the weakest physical quality among you is at 19.7 Level. After taking it, you will quickly reach the 19.9 Level limit."


    "Li Yuan, Alicia, both of you are already at 19.9 Level. After taking it, your Physical Quality should also reach the threshold of 20 Level, enough to open the Sea of Origin Power," Wu Manong said.


    Instantly, all seven geniuses understood the Alliance''s arrangement and plan.


    The Myriad Life Extension Fruit? There was only one.


    But to let these seven talents, already on the verge of breaking through to become Prime Warriors at the Fifth Stage,


    Breach the Prime Warrior''s threshold with one hundred percent certainty in a very short time, the Seven Star Alliance could still make it happen.


    The group promptly stored their Myriad Star Fruits away.


    "This Myriad Star Fruit isn''t of much use to me," Li Yuan silently mused, also sweeping it away with a wave of his hand.


    ...


    The train was still on its way.


    "Regarding the information about the World within Worlds, I won''t go into detail: you can check that on your own. I just want to emphasize one thing: technology weapons are not allowed in the World within Worlds, a taboo discovered by the Blazing Flame Family,"


    "Anyone who uses technological weapons will unquestionably be doomed," Wu Manong spoke gravely, "The only thing you can use is the communicator. It''s specially customized to let you contact us directly."


    "However, if you enter the ''Inner Sanctum of the Divine Palace'', contact will also be lost."


    Li Yuan, Alicia and the others nodded slightly, clearing up some doubts in their minds.


    Prime Warriors are indeed formidable, but logically, they should be killable with some powerful technological weapons.


    "A total of four tasks, with the importance of each task diminishing in order," Wu Manong continued, "First, cooperate with other Prime Warriors and First Rank Martial Artists to search for and eliminate all personnel from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom."


    "Second, explore the secrets of ''Divine Relics'' within the World within Worlds, which the Blazing Flame Family has only partially explored."


    "Third, rescue the Martial Path genius ''Lin Lanyue'' of the Blazing Flame Family. Her whereabouts are currently unclear, suspected to be inside the ''Divine Palace''."


    "Fourth, inspect the large Divine Crystal mines, look for and excavate possible Earth Origin Crystals and Fire Divine Crystals."


    "Do you all understand?" Wu Manong asked in a deep voice.


    "Understood," all seven geniuses said in unison, then immediately looked down to read the detailed information about the ''World within Worlds'' that had just been transferred to their smart wristband devices.


    Only Li Yuan was most shocked in his heart.


    Large Divine Crystal mines? Possible Earth Origin Crystals?


    "Opportunity,"


    "It''s not appropriate for me to keep asking the headmaster and Bai Shan Semi-Divine for Earth Origin Crystals," Li Yuan thought to himself, "I never expected that there would be Earth Origin Crystals inside the World within Worlds."


    This was a situation that Li Yuan had not been aware of before.


    ...


    In another carriage of the train.


    Another Prime Warrior was lecturing dozens of First Rank Martial Artists.


    "You have all achieved the First Order Limit and possess Fourth Level skill: you''re ready to step into the realm of Prime Warrior at any moment," the towering Prime Warrior spoke in a deep voice, "Your first task upon entry is to break through immediately."


    "After that, work with other First Rank Martial Artists to locate and kill personnel from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom."


    "But remember,"


    "If you encounter a Prime Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, do not engage rashly, immediately send a message to the seven powerful individuals numbered 0001-0007, let them handle it," the towering Prime Warrior said in a deep tone, "Any questions?"


    "How powerful exactly are these seven?" a Martial Artist asked.


    "Yes,"


    "By all accounts, they too will step into Prime Warriors after entering, how strong can they be?" doubts were raised by several people in the carriage.


    These First Order Limit Martial Artists with Fourth Level skill, mostly not from the military but from various forces and of greatly differing ages, naturally wouldn''t easily be persuaded.

    ```"Once the seven powerful warriors have made their breakthroughs, any one of the warriors numbered 0002 to 0007 could kill a hundred of you new Prime Warriors," the burly Prime Warrior said in a deep voice.


    "What?"


    "One against a hundred?" The martial artists at the First Order Limit were all shocked.


    "What about the strongest one? Number 0001?" someone couldn''t help but ask.


    The others were also curious.


    If the six behind are so strong, just how powerful must the one with the highest rank be?


    "Number 0001?" The burly Prime Warrior pondered for a moment, "His strongest power cannot be revealed to you." sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "But according to the superiors,"


    "Even if all of you become Prime Warriors, his slaughtering you would not be a matter of how many you are, but rather when his spiritual power and strength become exhausted..."


    Inside the carriage, there was dead silence.


    ...


    After traveling for several hours deep beneath the Fierce Feather Star Realm,


    Li Yuan and the others finally arrived at a large war fortress on the edge of the alert zone.


    Following Wu Manong, the group of seven stepped off the train, with Li Yuan walking first.


    No one objected.


    Martial Artists always let their strength do the talking.


    After a brief confrontation before entering the Star Realm, the strength Li Yuan displayed had already made the others like Si Feng and Xiong Ze realize that even if the six of them joined forces, they might not be a match for Li Yuan.


    Passing through layers of corridors and checkpoints,


    Finally,


    Li Yuan and his six companions followed Wu Manong into a massive underground structure surrounded by open-air corridors.


    Below them appeared an immense tunnel more than 100 meters in diameter, like a path leading to an endless abyss. Hundreds of meters below the tunnel, one could see a hazy glow shrouding the view, making it impossible to glimpse farther down.


    "What is this?" Li Yuan and Alicia were both shocked as they looked down.


    This was a scene they had never encountered before.


    "This is the only passage we control that leads into the World within Worlds," Wu Manong said in a deep voice, "Only First Rank Life can enter; Second Rank Life will surely die."


    "Go ahead."


    Just as Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Bai Ya had a moment of hesitation,


    Whoosh!


    Alicia had already leaped from high above, quickly falling until she disappeared into the layers of radiance below.


    "Let''s go, don''t delay," Li Yuan said in a low voice and leaped down as well.


    Seeing this, Si Feng, Xiong Ze, Bai Xing, and the others hesitated no more and followed, jumping into the tunnel.


    Wu Manong looked down at the huge tunnel below, deep in thought.


    After a while,


    he suddenly spoke: "Prepare to send the first batch of 50 reserve Prime Warriors to the World within Worlds."


    "Yes!" A Prime Warrior officer next to him responded deeply: "I will arrange for their entry immediately."


    Explore hidden tales at empire


    Just one minute later.


    Whoosh!


    A flash of golden light suddenly zipped across the top of the massive ring-shaped corridor, followed by the golden light coalescing into a figure in a golden robe. With handsome features, he walked step by step to Wu Manong''s side.


    If Li Yuan were here, he would surely recognize the identity of this figure in a golden robe¡ªYu Jinghe!!


    "They''ve all gone down?" Yu Jinghe asked in a low voice.


    "They''ve all entered," Wu Manong replied blandly, "This operation looks like it''s going to rely on your little fellow townsman, who possesses Flying Heaven Level spiritual power while only at First Order. It''s quite curious how he cultivated it."


    "Li Yuan?" Yu Jinghe nodded slightly, "Bai Shan had mentioned him to me before. He indeed has tremendous potential."


    "Hmm."


    Wu Manong shifted the subject, "When will Tavares and Abbott arrive?"


    "They''ve already entered the Fierce Feather Star Realm and should arrive within six hours," Yu Jinghe spoke softly, "Why, are you worried that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom will actually make it to our base here?"


    "Among the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, those who can contend with Li Yuan as they first enter Second Rank are few and far between," Wu Manong said indifferently, "If they encounter disadvantage in the World within Worlds,


    "Perhaps they will try to attack at the source, directly assaulting our war fortress."


    This war fortress was established by the Blazing Flame Family.


    The purpose was to guard the passage to and from the ''World within Worlds'', even at the cost of building a ''subterranean passage'' that connects to the core of the breeding area.


    However, only Second Level Life is allowed to enter and exit the Second Level Star Realm.


    Hence, for this operation, the Seven Star Alliance mobilized not only Li Yuan, Alicia and the other six top talents among First Rank Life,


    but also four Top Grade Origin Martial Artists who have reached the Sixth Stage of their skills, to collectively guard this war fortress.


    "Why worry?"


    Yu Jinghe appeared quite indifferent, "At worst, we''ll break through to the Flying Heaven Realm right here in the Fierce Feather Star Realm."


    "Besides, doesn''t the Blazing Flame Family still have two Flying Heaven Martial Artists? Comparatively speaking, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom would find it hard to take us down with six Flying HeavenWarriors on our side," Yu Jinghe said with a smile.


    "Those two useless ones?" Wu Manong shook his head, "The two of them together would be defeated by us individually; they are unreliable."


    Yu Jinghe fell silent.


    The Blazing Flame Family had two Flying Heaven Martial Artists who chose to stay forever in the Fierce Feather Star Realm... regrettably, their strength among Flying Heaven Martial Artists belonged to the most ordinary of all.


    Otherwise, they wouldn''t have been left here.


    "We''ll take it step by step," Yu Jinghe said with a smile, "First let''s see if Li Yuan and the others can retake the World within Worlds."


    ...


    Whoosh~


    The whole person fell from high above, crashing into that massive, radiant tunnel.


    As soon as he touched that hazy radiance, Li Yuan felt an invisible fluctuation enveloping him, followed by a slight tremor in his brain.


    Rustling~


    Invisible forces surged, pressing down so hard that Li Yuan couldn''t open his eyes, feeling like a small fish caught in a terrifying undercurrent, left to drift with the flow.


    After what seemed like dozens of seconds.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan felt emptiness beneath his feet, the surroundings became relaxed, and he immediately adjusted his bodily power.


    He landed steadily on the ground.


    ```

 Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)_3

    "This is?" Li Yuan didn''t feel any discomfort.With a quick glance, he discovered that he was in a vast corridor, unsure if it was inside a building or a cave.


    The corridor was dozens of meters high and just as wide, with metallic walls on all sides. The passageway twisted and turned, extending into the distance, faintly illuminated... Explore more adventures at empire


    Behind Li Yuan was a passage over ten meters in diameter, shrouded in a misty glow.


    It was the entrance he had come through.


    "Which passage is this? Why is there no one else?" Li Yuan frowned slightly, "Am I the only one here?"


    According to the intelligence provided by the Blazing Flame Family, the entrance from the Star Realm to the World within Worlds was unique.


    However, there were hundreds of exits within the World within Worlds, scattered throughout, and one would randomly descend at any of these exits.


    "Let''s go."


    With a thought, Li Yuan''s Origin Power Battle Suit covered his entire body.


    At the same time, with a flip of his hand, a black long spear about two and a half meters long appeared in his hand.


    Inside him, a silver sliver as thin as a cicada''s wing flowed to his mouth.


    Thus prepared,


    Should he encounter mortal danger, he would be able to take out the ''Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill'' and pop it into his mouth instantly.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had just turned two corners along the corridor when suddenly his pupils shrank, for several corpses had appeared not far ahead in the passageway... Judging by their clothes and decorations, they were all First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Alliance.


    By the looks of the wounds, all had clearly been sliced across the neck by a blade.


    Killed with a single strike!


    "Are there experts from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom stationed in this passage?" Li Yuan''s vigilance heightened.


    Why send thousands of First Rank Martial Artists in first? To draw fire,


    Creating opportunities for those who follow.


    Otherwise, if these top talents burst in before they had a chance to break through to become Prime Warriors and ran headfirst into the experts from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it would be troublesome.


    Boom~ The air vibrated slightly.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan''s figure exploded forward, darting out dozens of meters, while his long spear flipped in his hand to block.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" The sound of lightning-fast weapon clashes rang out as Li Yuan easily blocked two deadly strikes.


    Only then,


    Did Li Yuan''s eyes fully see.


    The spot where he had just stood, from within that shadowy darkness, two slender figures slowly emerged, both emaciated and wearing Origin Power Battle Suits.


    "Life Level shows 19.9, and you could block the fatal strikes of us brothers just with your battle instincts," one emaciated figure spoke in a raspy voice, uttering in the common language of the Seven Stars, "It seems, you must be one of the top talents dispatched by the Seven Star Alliance."


    "Too bad, your luck isn''t good, running into us as soon as you got in," the other emaciated figure said in a deep voice.


    The common language of the Seven Stars is the language of Xia Country.


    "Battle instincts?" Li Yuan''s eyes were cold.


    As soon as the opponent got close, his powerful spiritual power was released, alerting him that something was amiss.


    "[Target creature, Life Level 20.2, slaying it will yield Spiritual Nourishment]"


    "[Target creature, Life Level 20.1, slaying it will yield Spiritual Nourishment]." Li Yuan''s thoughts moved, and he employed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Strength and identity confirmed.


    "Alien Race?" Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold: "It must be killed!"


    Boom! Before his words fell, Li Yuan, holding the spear, had already exploded into action, attacking fiercely.


    "Kill!"


    Swish! Swish! Two black figures moved in the blink of an eye, their bodies seemingly sheathed in a layer of flame-like light.


    Origin Power burst forth!


    These two Prime Warriors, wielding swords, darted toward Li Yuan like phantoms, one on the left and one on the right.


    The two sides closed the distance like lightning.


    In that instant of imminent collision,


    "Die!" Li Yuan''s gaze hardened as he directly used the spiritual secret technique "Soul Shock."


    Rumbling~ The overwhelming Spiritual Shock surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing into the two Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    "What?"


    "Not good! Be careful!"


    The terrifying Spiritual Shock caused their consciousness to shake violently, completely disorienting them.


    "Pfft!"


    "Pffch!"


    Two streams of spear light, flickering with starry radiance, slashed through the Vast Sky, thrusting straight at the two black figures.


    "Boom!" The tremendous Penetrative Power instantly permeated through the Battle Garments into every corner of their bodies.


    The Penetrative Power was too terrifying.


    "Not good, it''s a Spiritual Shock," one of the black figures regained consciousness, not even having the time to call for help.


    In an instant of mid-air intersection,


    Pffch~ their two bodies were torn apart by the Black Chen Spear, like lightning ripping through them.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, two Level 20 Prime Warriors, dead!


    Wham~ Large chunks of limbs fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere.


    Clang~ Clang~


    Their weapons also dropped to the ground.


    "[You have slain a Second Rank creature, obtained Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level is now 38.1%]"


    "[Your... Spiritual Awakening Level is now 38.3%]" Two Divine Palace notifications flashed past.


    Obviously, slaying Second Rank lives yielded much more Spiritual Nourishment than First Rank lives.


    If it were First Rank lives, even levels 18 or 19, Li Yuan would mostly need to kill dozens to improve his Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.1%.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan also landed on the ground.


    The spear tip dangled to the floor, and the blood on the spear, flowing along the groove, fell to the ground, leaving it as sleek as new.


    An Origin Power Weapon of Second Rank high grade, would basically remain undamaged in clashes at this level.


    This long spear was actually not the same one Li Yuan had used previously, but a newly purchased one.


    However, Li Yuan was accustomed to calling it the ''Black Chen Spear.''


    "Two Level 20 Prime Warriors dare to boast about sending me to death?" Li Yuan frowned.


    Li Yuan''s Divine Sense enveloped the bodies of the two, swiftly collecting their damaged Origin Power Battle Suits and weapons.

 Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)_4

    These things, all together, Li Yuan estimated were worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins.At the same time, Li Yuan found technological items like communication devices on them and crushed them all.


    "Killing them instantly, they probably didn''t send a message back," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Still, I can''t be careless."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and quickly left the corridor.


    From the beginning to the end.


    Li Yuan never took these two Prime Warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, who had just entered the Second Rank, seriously.


    In terms of physical quality, Li Yuan had reached level 19.9.


    Under the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, the power and speed that Li Yuan could burst forth with was close to that of a Second Rank Prime Warrior of level 22.


    Coupled with his terrifying techniques, especially after using the "True Intent" moves, Li Yuan was confident that he could swiftly kill a Prime Warrior of level 23 in a head-on fight.


    Therefore, with just a single spear thrust, Li Yuan tore through the defense of the Origin Power Battle Suit and killed the two Prime Warriors.


    The defense of a Second Rank Origin Power Battle Suit was strong, but it also depended on who was using it.


    Its defensive capabilities were, to a large extent, dependent on the "strength of the user''s Origin Power."


    If it were a level 23 or 24 Prime Warrior relying on their powerful Origin Power for defense, even if they stood still, Li Yuan would find it hard to kill them with a single thrust.


    The most critical part was Li Yuan''s Spiritual Secret Technique.


    It could be considered his ultimate killing move.


    Without the protection of an Origin Power Battle Suit, even a level 24 expert could potentially be killed by Li Yuan in one move.


    The current Li Yuan, after undergoing transformation after transformation, had indeed become very powerful.


    He could be called the strongest First Rank lifeform in the entire Seven Star Alliance.


    Even among the many Foreign Civilizations, there were very few First Rank lifeforms that could compare to him... This was also why the upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance placed great importance on him and had high hopes for him.


    Because the current Li Yuan was indeed very strong.


    "No rush,"


    "First, I''ll leave the passageway, find a hidden spot to break through to become a Prime Warrior, then consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit," Li Yuan had a clear plan in his mind, "By then, I will be a level 22 Prime Warrior... my basic strength will be twice as strong as it is now."


    "And the infusing of Origin Power into my body is approaching as well."


    Li Yuan believed that with the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit and the Infusion of Origin Power, in an extremely short time, his physical quality would transform again and again, and he had a good chance of soaring to level 23 or even higher... By then, would the Second Rank lifeforms of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom be able to stop him?


    "According to the Blazing Flame Family''s intentions, Lanyue should have already entered the ''Relic Divine Palace''."


    "She should be temporarily safe."


    "Rushing to find her now is useless, I must first raise my strength to its peak to be confident of dealing with any danger," Li Yuan thought to himself as he quickly disappeared at the winding corridor''s end.


    ...


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, within the War Fortress, at the entrance of the passageway.


    "They all successfully got inside,"


    Wu Manong suddenly whispered, "The other six had good luck and didn''t encounter any enemies, only Li Yuan ran into two Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Palace."


    As per the orders, Li Yuan and Alicia, if they encountered any situation, had to report immediately through the Communication Device.


    Only then,


    Could the commanders outside give orders and make adjustments.


    "Two Prime Warriors?" Yu Jinghe by his side was slightly startled, "What''s the situation? Li Yuan is alright, isn''t he?"


    "Li Yuan has killed them both."


    ...


    World within Worlds, high above there was a radiant red sun, whose light enveloped the land. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    About 200 kilometers away from Li Yuan, there stood a vast palace complex with rolling hills that exuded an ancient aura.


    The entire outer wall of the palace complex was red, and the deeper you looked into it, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.


    Making it impossible for people to see into the deeper areas of the complex.


    At this moment, five figures with strong presences were gathering outside the palace complex, not daring to rashly enter.


    The leader was a tall, burly figure nearly three meters tall with fiery red hair, exuding an overbearing presence, staring at the distant palace complex with slightly furrowed brows, "We have sent in twelve First Rank Martial Artists and six Prime Warriors in succession, yet they have all disappeared without a trace, and not a single message has been sent back."


    "What kind of danger is in there?" The tall, thin figure in a purple robe also furrowed his brows, "Mintian Hou sent us here, suspecting that this is a divine relic, but could not provide additional information."


    "How do we verify it?"


    "Are we supposed to charge in regardless of life and death?" The tall, thin figure in the purple robe shook his head in irritation.


    The other three figures looked at each other silently.


    Although all five of them were elites appointed by Mintian Hou, there was a difference in their strengths and status.


    Suddenly.


    "Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu," another figure in black, short and portly, spoke in a low and deep voice, "This is bad, number 10 and number 12 are dead."


    "What?"


    "Both Prime Warriors are dead?" The other four looked over in surprise.


    For this operation, numbers 1-35, all were Prime Warriors.


    "Who killed them? Did any information get sent back?" The leading red-haired, domineering man asked in a deep voice.


    "None,"


    "According to the location, they died at what we marked as corridor number 38," the black-clothed, portly figure said somberly, "Most likely, they were instantly killed by a powerful being from the Seven Star Civilization."


    Suddenly, everyone went quiet.


    Killed instantly at the entrance of the corridor?


    Those who just came through the corridor would definitely be First Rank lifeforms from the Seven Star Civilization, and would absolutely not have had the time to break through to the Second Rank.


    Yet two Prime Warriors, skilled in stealth, had been instantly killed by a First Rank lifeform? Without even having the chance to send a distress signal back?


    "Trouble has come."


    "The Seven Star Civilization sent in so many ordinary First Rank beings earlier just to divert our attention, now the ones arriving must be their top geniuses," the domineering red-haired man stood up, his eyes flashing with light.

 Chapter 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)

    "The Seven Star Civilization may be weak,""but after all, it''s a civilization that has given birth to many demigods and is extremely powerful among the Fourth Level Civilizations," the brawny red-haired man said in a deep voice, "At least, it won''t be weaker than our Gu Yue Divine Kingdom."


    "Lei Wu, will you go or shall I?" the brawny red-haired man looked at the slender figure in the purple robe.


    This time, the mission handed down by Mintian Hou from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was led by the two of them.


    "I''ll go."


    The slender figure in the purple robe stood up, his voice deep as he said, "My presence here makes little difference, you continue the research on the relics here, I''ll go hunt the geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization."


    "These days, a large number of First Rank Martial Artists have stormed in, judging by the time, it''s about to get serious," said the slender figure in the purple robe.


    "Mai Ka, Dong Ming, you both come with me," ordered the slender figure ''Lei Wu''.


    "Yes," the two men who had been silent stood up.


    "By the way, Tie Mu''er," the slender figure Lei Wu turned to the brawny red-haired man, "request reinforcements from Mintian Hou as soon as possible. With less than three hundred of us, we cannot defend so many entry channels."


    "We''re probably not going to figure out this relic anytime soon either,"


    "If Mintian Hou wants to completely occupy this place, he must send at least a few thousand First Rank Martial Artists and a handful of Prime Warriors," Lei Wu said in a deep voice.


    "Hmm, I will pass on the message to Mintian Hou," the brawny red-haired man nodded seriously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The slender figure in the purple robe, quickly leading two Prime Warriors, followed their map recorded over the past few days.


    They hurried toward Portal 38.


    The entire World within Worlds was vast and desolate, with nothing but continuous deserts and hardly any vegetation.


    Everything was shrouded in a blazing red sun that covered the earth, and there was no concept of night, as if it was a rough world that had just been created.


    As such, there was no native life, and the view stretched to the horizon.


    With the speed of a Prime Warrior of Initial Rank, they could easily reach 120 meters per second.


    200 kilometers? It would take at most half an hour to reach there.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three Prime Warriors advanced like lightning.


    "Dong Ming, Mai Ka, keep in touch with everyone," the slender figure instructed while on the move, "Use the ''Life Signature Detector'' to constantly check who has died."


    "Also, order everyone to abandon their posts at the entry channels and converge on the three of us, then concentrate on searching and slaughtering," said the slender figure.


    "Understood."


    These talented powerhouses of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had realized that, after being attacked suddenly nearly two days ago, the Seven Star Civilization had begun a full-scale counterattack... In terms of individual strength, Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka were all very confident.


    But during this half-day, the First Rank powerhouses from the Seven Star Civilization had been flooding in through the channels like a tide, which still put a lot of pressure on the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s team.


    Even though the team from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was generally more powerful and had killed over 600 First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization, their own casualties were steadily increasing.


    Therefore, Lei Wu realized that it was necessary to consolidate their forces and strike hard again.


    "These First Rank Martial Artists are not a concern,"


    "What we need to do is to find those top geniuses of the Seven Star Alliance," Lei Wu''s goal was very clear, "The Seven Star Civilization is no match for us; the number of their geniuses suitable for battle... won''t be too many, and each time we kill one, it will hurt them for a long time."


    ...


    Time passed.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was forced to start consolidating its forces, and began a concentrated sweep.


    The armies of the Seven Star Civilization, with their absolute numerical superiority, gradually began to take the initiative... A vast amount of information was being gathered.


    In the Martial Arts Cultivation that focuses on personal great strength, the vast number of First Rank Martial Artists has never been about frontal combat... but about gathering intelligence.


    Li Yuan and Alicia, no matter how strong they are, could not penetrate every area of the World within Worlds.


    But 5000 First Rank Martial Artists could!


    Thousands of First Rank Martial Artists stretched out like a huge net, conducting a grid-style search, and quickly located the personnel of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, then reported the intelligence to a hundred Prime Warriors.


    And even to the Seven Great Talents.


    ... After killing two Prime Warriors, Li Yuan charged out of the underground cavern that stretched for about two kilometers and quickly distanced himself.


    The Origin Power Battle Suit on his body had changed to a ''soil yellow'' color, blending almost seamlessly with the surrounding land.


    He fled for a full twenty kilometers.


    "This will do," Li Yuan found an inconspicuous crack in the earth amid a stretch of desert.


    He scanned the area for several kilometers to be sure there were no problems.


    Whoosh! S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan dove into the two-meter-wide crack and quickly excavated a small cave on the side of the fissure''s wall.


    Just large enough to conceal Li Yuan.


    He sat down cross-legged.


    His spiritual power was fully released, his Divine Sense perceiving everything within a hundred meters while faintly sensing violent fluctuations within a kilometer.


    "Unless there''s a Flying Heaven Level soul,"


    "or someone cultivates a very special secret technique, it''s impossible for them to approach within a hundred meters of me without making a sound," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Furthermore, the place I''ve chosen is more than 20 kilometers from where I came out, so the chances of being discovered should be very small."


    Having thought everything through,


    cultivation is a serious matter, especially progressing from First Rank to Second Rank which is a leap in the essence of life, so Li Yuan had to be cautious.


    Better to break through slowly and make sure everything is foolproof.


    "Just like Teacher Xu Bo said, when killing an enemy, you must tear apart every limb and the head," Li Yuan silently recalled his teacher''s teachings, "It''s never wrong to estimate the enemy generously."


    Li Yuan closed his eyes.


    "It''s time to break through to Prime Warrior," Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, his spiritual power already sensing the three Star Meridians in his body.


    With a single thought,


    Hum~ all three Star Meridians began to operate.

 Chapter 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Extra 30, 31)_2

    One Star Meridian was immensely powerful, its countless points of light linked into a dazzling line.The other two Star Meridians had awakened not long ago, with sparse light points, but they were indispensable.


    "Star Meridians, circulate."


    "Establish the Sea of Source Energy." Li Yuan fully activated the three Star Meridians, and following the experiences of many predecessors in the Martial Hall data archives and numerous Cultivation Techniques, the Meridians began frantically absorbing the Source Energy from the outside.


    Boom--


    The Source Energy that remained in Li Yuan''s Star Meridians began to accumulate, becoming more abundant... This Source Energy stayed within the Star Meridians, circulating throughout his body with the movement of the Star Meridians.


    If it had been earlier, as the Source Energy circulated, Li Yuan''s flesh and blood would have devoured it voraciously like a gluttonous feast, but now they were satiated and simply couldn''t absorb any more in the short term.


    Star Meridians couldn''t store large amounts of Source Energy; they could only maintain a small amount.


    "Pressure."


    "Every part of the body feels the compression from the circulation of the three Star Meridians." Li Yuan sensed the discomfort in his body.


    It was as if a person needs to eat every day; not eating makes one hungry, but overeating after being full can lead to bloating... even rupturing the stomach!


    Li Yuan was in a similar situation now.


    "Continue!" Li Yuan continued to run his Star Meridians, frantically absorbing the Source Energy from the outside.


    Over an hour later.


    Boom-- The Source Energy in Li Yuan''s three Star Meridians surged like roaring rivers, churning and flowing, with massive amounts of Source Energy still compressing and accumulating.


    It was as if a dam, after repeated water storage reaching its highest level, was now at the risk of bursting.


    Li Yuan was in that situation now, his body filled with such potent Source Energy that the slightest misstep could cause his body to collapse completely.


    "So much Source Energy?"


    Li Yuan was rather shocked, "Hmm, over ninety percent of the Source Energy was accumulated by the Perfect Star Vein."


    After reviewing vast amounts of data,


    Li Yuan knew the approximate limit of Source Energy a normal First Rank Martial Artist could absorb during a breakthrough... far less than his own.


    "Perfect Star Vein!"


    "Other First Order Limit Martial Artists, when they break through to become Prime Warriors, awakening the Second Layer and Third Layer Star Veins in their first attempt, that''s impressive. But where can they compare to my Perfect Star Vein?" Li Yuan mused.


    One could tell just by looking at the display on the Divine Palace panel.


    The cultivation efficiency of a single Perfect Star Vein was worth more than 20 newly awakened First Layer Star Veins... The breakthrough scene was naturally terrifying.


    "With such an abundance of Source Energy, maybe I''ll greatly increase in strength as soon as I break through," thought Li Yuan.


    Finally.


    The accumulated Source Energy in the three Star Meridians had reached a kind of limit... Li Yuan felt it keenly, feeling as though he was bearing the weight of a mountain.


    Moving his body slightly might risk it falling apart. Find adventures on empire


    At this time, should a powerful warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom launch an assault... it would be extremely dangerous.


    Fortunately, the outside world was very tranquil.


    "Breakthrough." With a thought, Li Yuan activated the tumultuous Source Energy in the three Star Meridians, directing it to a specific point in the dantian in his lower abdomen.


    This point was essential in the circulation of the three Star Meridians.


    Boom!


    Instantly! As if heaven and earth were collapsing, like the creation of the world, the originally chaotic dantian exploded into existence... This special space rapidly expanded, and at the very core, a special microspace between illusion and reality formed.


    "Within one point in the body, it harbors vast Source Energy like an ocean." Li Yuan realized, "This is the Sea of Source Energy."


    "From this moment on,"


    "Source Energy will accumulate endlessly, rooted within... and life can look forward to leaping towards a higher level."


    The inflow of Source Energy signifies the Prime Warrior!


    In a sense, before reaching the Second Rank, all are just ordinary life.


    Only by establishing the Sea of Source Energy is one taking the first step on the ''path beyond the ordinary.''


    "Continue!" Moved by a thought, Li Yuan carried on with his cultivation.


    Boom--


    The Source Energy stored in the three Star Meridians began to pour crazily into the Sea of Source Energy... causing the sea to expand continuously, and the Source Energy to accumulate wildly.


    Hiss-- The Source Energy in the Sea of Source Energy surged, increasing voluminously, slowly turning into a massive vortex.


    Massive amounts of Source Energy were drawn into the vortex, being compressed and refined continuously.


    Gradually, the Source Energy born at the center of the vortex was purer and stronger than before.


    "This is the true Second Rank Source Energy," Li Yuan thought.


    Meanwhile, S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Swish-- The newly transformed Second Rank Source Energy followed the special connection between the Star Meridians and the Sea of Source Energy, flowing back into the Star Meridians and, with the movement of the Star Meridians, spreading to every corner of the body.


    "Nourishing the body."


    The moment Second Rank Source Energy flooded into every part of the body, it sparked a drastic transformation in Li Yuan.


    His bones, bone marrow, muscles, blood, fascia, skin, hair, and so on, all underwent astonishing Transformation under this nurturing by the potent Source Energy.


    A change in the very essence of life.


    Why is it that a normal First Order Limit life form has a standard Fist Strength of 70,000 kilograms while a Level 20.0 has 80,000 kilograms?


    It is because, upon breakthrough, the Second Rank Source Energy causes the body to undergo a tremendous Transformation.


    This is a leap in Life Level.


    "Level 20, the first step beyond the ordinary," Li Yuan reveled in this process, feeling quite delighted.


    In his youth, Li Yuan saw Prime Warriors as incredibly powerful.


    Back then, a Hall Master of a Regional Martial Hall, the captain of a Martial Artist squad, and many others, were all Prime Warriors.


    "Now, I have also reached this step."


    "Just like at the major Martial Arts Universities, once you become a Prime Warrior, you can choose to graduate." Li Yuan felt a surge of pride, "In a sense, Prime Warriors are the ''backbone'' within the entire civilization, truly qualified to venture into various dangerous realms and to be the vanguard battling against many warriors from Foreign Civilizations."

 Chapter 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)_3

    ```After a while, Li Yuan finally settled his emotions and continued to circulate his Origin Power, nourishing his body.


    This kind of leap in the essence of life.


    The effect was so strong, it was comparable to some Heavenly Materials Treasures, and it was completely harmless.


    Even more, as his physical quality soared unstoppably.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel his soul being nourished, becoming stronger continuously.


    Just over ten minutes.


    Li Yuan could perceive that his bodily strength had increased significantly, already reaching the threshold of Level 20.


    "Hmm? The Divine Palace panel?" Li Yuan noticed a special change in the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 20.1 (22.2) Rank (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 83,000 kilograms


    Speed: 122.4 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 30.7 (31.4) Rank


    Willpower: 33 Rank


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 38.3% (current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: 13 Rank (training efficiency 10+0.5+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 42%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 42%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" (First Rank 6 Level: 6 Level)


    ...


    "A leap to Life Level 20, I can understand the changes in the Divine Palace panel data," Li Yuan was both shocked and puzzled in his heart, "But what about those parentheses after the Life Level and Spiritual Power? What do they mean?"


    "Could it be that this is the limit of Life Level I can reach in an extremely short time?" Li Yuan guessed.


    It was only natural for Li Yuan to think this way.


    Because!


    Normally, for a Martial Artist to transition from First Rank to Second Rank, once the Sea of Source Energy is established and the physical quality transforms to Level 20, it would gradually come to a halt... Afterwards, one would have to train slowly.


    But at this moment, Li Yuan''s Life Level had reached 20.1 Rank, and as the Star Meridian operated, that pure Origin Power... was still pushing his physical quality to continuously soar.


    "Most likely."


    "It''s due to the Perfect Star Vein," Li Yuan''s heart surged with excitement, this kind of soaring in physical quality was just too exhilarating.


    It was as if going from an infant in the past to a stout man in a very short time.


    "87,600 kilograms!"


    "91,200 kilograms."


    "96,600 kilograms." Li Yuan felt his body transforming, and could also see the detailed changes in standard Fist Strength and Spiritual Power on the Divine Palace panel.


    This was an unprecedented transformation.


    ...


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, War Fortress.


    In a super-sized conference room.


    At this moment, gathered here were not only Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe, but also four more figures.


    Among them, two were very young, naturally they were Tavares and Abbott, as mentioned by Wu Manong.


    The other two, with much stronger life auras and visibly older faces.


    Were the two Flying Heaven Warriors of the Blazing Flame Family left behind in the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡ªYanjun Ling and Yanjun Fox.


    "Old Wu, how''s the situation?" the burly Tavares, resembling a War God, asked in a deep voice.


    He and Abbott had just arrived and were not fully aware of the details yet.


    "The vanguard troops have been inside for seven hours, Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others for five hours," Wu Manong was extremely calm, "Now, all the armies mobilized by the alliance have already entered the World within Worlds."


    "The number of dead First Rank Martial Artists exceeds 1,200."


    "Dead reserve Prime Warriors total 16."


    "The seven prodigies are all safe for the time being," Wu Manong said calmly, "At the same time, we have inflicted over 100 casualties on them. Although we have suffered heavy losses, the situation has basically reversed."


    "Now, we have forced the troops of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to retreat," Wu Manong stated.


    "How many Prime Warriors do we have on our side?" Abbott asked the critical question.


    "Regular Prime Warriors already exceed 70 in number, six of the seven prodigies have already broken through," Wu Manong said solemnly, "But they alone will have a hard time winning... Si Feng broke through to become a Prime Warrior, at Level 20.3, and encountered a powerful Prime Warrior of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    If it weren''t for Xiong Ze arriving just in time to rescue him, he would probably have died."


    "The enemy also has Fifth Stage Skill, but their Physical Quality is much stronger, definitely having used some precious treasures after entering the World within Worlds," Wu Manong stated.


    "And, we still do not know if this is the strongest member of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team."


    All those present felt the pressure.


    In terms of accumulated treasures, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom could only be stronger.


    "What about Li Yuan?" The middle-aged man in fiery red robes, ''Yanjun Fox'', asked with confusion, "Wasn''t he said to be the strongest? Let him take action."


    Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others were momentarily taken aback before looking at Yanjun Fox with puzzled eyes.


    "What''s the matter?" Yanjun Fox felt the gazes of Wu Manong and the others and couldn''t help asking, "Did I say something wrong?"


    "Yun Fox." Yanjun Ling next to him frowned, "Li Yuan still needs to take the ''Myriad Life Extension Fruit,'' a Fourth Rank treasure. Fully digesting it also takes a considerable amount of time... be patient."


    Stay tuned to empire


    "I can wait."


    "But the longer the delay, when Gu Yue Divine Kingdom truly uncovers the secrets of the World within Worlds, they may send even more people to kill their way in," Yanjun Fox couldn''t help saying, "At that time, if the situation collapses, can they bear the responsibility?" sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Shut up." Wu Manong''s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, "Not satisfied? Then send your Blazing Flame Family''s First Rank Martial Artists to see if they can win?"


    He had long been dissatisfied with the Blazing Flame Family.


    "What''s with your attitude?" Yanjun Fox immediately got angry, considering himself a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Always staying in the reproduction area of Fierce Feather Star Realm, he was used to giving orders without question.


    "This is my attitude."


    "Not convinced? Believe it or not, I can beat you into submission?" Wu Manong''s eyes were icy, "Remember, I am the supreme commander."


    "Moreover, isn''t your Blazing Flame Family responsible for this current situation?"


    "You had such a treasure spot yet kept it secret and did not report it. If it had been reported earlier, would the situation be as dire? Would Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have had the chance to interfere?" Wu Manong sneered, "If you really had the ability, you wouldn''t need the alliance to wipe your ass."


    ```

 Chapter 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)_4

    "Do you see those thousands of martial artists who died in battle?""They didn''t have to die." Wu Manong stared intensely at the Flame Cloud Fox, an invisible aura already spreading around him as if he was about to explode at any moment.


    That look, it made Flame Cloud Fox''s heart tremble slightly.


    If it were a normal 29th rank Prime Warrior, he could kill them with one move, but Wu Manong? He was a genius Prime Warrior ranked among the top twenty in the entire civilization.


    "Old Wu, say less," Yu Jinghe said softly.


    "Hmph." Wu Manong snorted coldly and turned to continue looking at the map projection screen not far away.


    And the vast number of combatants, constantly sending back messages.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm? Not good! Kross and Alicia are calling for help," Abbott''s face suddenly changed.


    He pointed at two messages that flashed past on the projection screens.


    "Help! Encountered three fifth stage skill Prime Warriors, at least one is level 22! Help!"


    "Help!"


    ...


    Within World within Worlds, in the underground cavern by the huge crevice where Li Yuan was in seclusion.


    It was utterly tranquil.


    "Finally, I''ve broken through as a Prime Warrior, the transformation is completely finished," Li Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the terrifying power surging within him: "To think that a single breakthrough could elevate me to level 22.2! It''s truly unbelievable!"


    Li Yuan''s gaze once again swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 22.2 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 194,000 kilograms


    Speed: 184 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 31.4 level


    Willpower: 33 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 38.3% (Current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: 13 level (Training efficiency 10+0.5+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 42%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 42%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" (First Rank level 6:6 level)


    ...


    In the outside world, Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, and others thought that Li Yuan''s prolonged breakthrough was due to consuming the ''Myriad Life Extension Fruit,'' which required a lot of time to digest the fruit''s effects.


    Only Li Yuan himself understood.


    No!


    It was simply because the ''Origin Power'' born from the Sea of Source Energy was too pure, causing his physical quality to transform at high speed.


    Only after reaching level 22.2 did his Life Level finally stabilize completely.


    From level 19.9, leaping directly to 22.2, it took Li Yuan over four hours.


    But the time spent was worth it.


    "My Fist Strength is about 2.5 times what it was before the breakthrough, and my Burst Speed is 1.5 times faster," Li Yuan was both overjoyed and amazed: "Perfect Star Vein!!"


    By now, Li Yuan was absolutely certain, this was all thanks to the Perfect Star Vein.


    Other martial artists, upon breaking through, were usually at level 20.0, 20.1, and the impressive ones were around level 20.3 right after their breakthrough.


    And himself?


    He directly soared to level 22.2!


    "With such a strong foundation," Li Yuan clenched his fists, his body seeming to possess boundless strength: "Next, I can still consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit."


    "And what about when Origin Power enters the body?"


    By then, how far his physical quality would soar, Li Yuan couldn''t even imagine.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan looked down at his smart bracelet, his expression changing: "Kross and Alicia are in danger?"


    "Three powerful Prime Warriors? All with fifth stage skills? One of them suspected to be level 22?"


    Such a team''s strength was already extremely formidable.


    Even if Kross and Alicia became Prime Warriors, they might not be able to withstand it.


    "Check the location coordinates." Li Yuan immediately checked each other''s coordinates. Read new adventures at empire


    As user 0001, Li Yuan had very high-level access, able to check the location of others'' communicators relative to his own at any time.


    "23 kilometers?"


    "Not far from me! There''s hope for rescue." Li Yuan''s figure moved and he instantly shot out of the cave.


    With a thought.


    Boom!


    An Origin Power Battle Suit covered his entire body, and instantly the three major Star Meridians within him operated, with surging Origin Power rushing out from the Sea of Source Energy.


    In an instant, a layer of dim earthy yellow light completely enveloped Li Yuan.


    Origin Power burst forth! This was the full-strength state of a Prime Warrior!


    "Swoosh!"


    In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his whole body''s Vigor was in motion.


    In just one second, Li Yuan''s Burst Speed had already soared to an astonishing level, surpassing 220 meters/second.


    The entire person transformed into a terrifying streak of light rushing towards the distance, as if flying low to the ground, every step he took, the terrifying forces bursting forth caused the ground itself to tremble slightly.

 Chapter 237 Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Votes)

    The crimson sun hung in the sky, its light engulfing the land, vast and endless like blood.Amidst a mountain range, a great battle erupted.


    Five Prime Warriors, all clad in Origin Power Battle Suits, engaged fiercely in combat.


    The five powerhouses were faintly divided into two camps.


    One side consisted of three people, led by a thin, tall figure shrouded in faint lightning, wielding a combat saber, his presence formidable and terrifying, fiercely attacking the petite figure of the opposing side.


    The other two members of this side were both radiating fiery red light, one holding a long spear, the other gripping a war hammer, both with an extremely frightening aura.


    The ones besieged by their trio were none other than Kross and Alicia.


    "Kill!"


    Alicia channeled Origin Power, fully activating her Origin Power Battle Suit, her long sword radiating streaks of blue light, continuous like flowing water, fending off the attacks from the thin, tall, purple-robed figure. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With every clash, Alicia was forced to retreat by the force of the impact.


    However, she seemed to possess an invisible magic power, as her gaze swept over, causing the tall purple figure to stagger and be continuously affected, unable to exert his full combat strength.


    Occasionally, Alicia''s sword would even leave faint marks on his body.


    Alas.


    In terms of overall strength, Alicia and Kross, even when joining forces, fell far short of their opponents, and despite fleeing while fighting, they were still tightly ensnared.


    They had already fled over ten kilometers, yet they had not shaken off the pursuit.


    And with each collision, Kross''s injuries worsened, making it increasingly difficult to even keep fleeing.


    The key.


    It was that tall figure shrouded in purple light. His strength was too terrifying; if it came to a normal fight, he was entirely capable of sweeping both of them aside.


    "Just a few hours in,"


    "and we''re in dire straits. How can this lightning lineage Prime Warrior have such strong willpower?" Alicia gritted her teeth, iciness in her eyes.


    Boom!


    Time and again, terrifying Spiritual Shocks exploded from her spiritual world, continually sweeping towards the tall purple figure, repeatedly affecting him.


    Spiritual Secret Technique!


    Alicia was also extremely skilled in Spiritual Secret Techniques, and in some respects, she was even more adept than Li Yuan, which was why she had been able to withstand the three-on-one assault for so long with Kross.


    Her swordsmanship was also very defensive.


    "Lei Wu, you still haven''t been able to take them down after so long?" The fiery red figures holding the long spear and war hammer were both growing impatient.


    The battle had been going on for quite some time.


    They were worried that other powerful individuals from the Seven Star Civilization might come to the rescue.


    Experience tales at empire


    "What''s the rush," the tall purple figure retorted coldly, "The one before me must be one of the top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization... Not only is her swordsmanship excellent, but most importantly, her spiritual power is extremely strong, probably at the Second Order Limit."


    "She''s not so easy to kill."


    "However, as time goes on, her Spiritual Secret Technique will have less effect on me, and she won''t be able to hold on."


    The three communicated in a special ''Secret Language,'' not even in the common tongue of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Therefore, Alicia and Kross could not understand a word.


    "Alicia, the one you''re fighting is called Lei Wu; he''s likely the strongest among them," a youthful voice arose in Alicia''s mind: "He must have cultivated some sort of defensive Spiritual Secret Technique. Continuing to fight this way, someone''s going to die."


    "Little Star, can you understand what they''re saying?" Alicia responded mentally.


    "I understand. It''s just a Secret Language," the youthful voice replied: "But understanding it is useless. You''ve only reached level 29 in spiritual power after consuming the Heavenly Materials Treasures, far from exhibiting the true power of the Spiritual Secret Techniques I''ve taught you... If you had Flying Heaven level spiritual power, you''d have a chance to win."


    "If it''s not working, just run,"


    "Ditch that deadweight Kross and hand control of your body to me," the youthful voice urged: "I guarantee we can escape with our lives."


    "If we keep delaying and you get injured, we won''t be able to escape later," the youthful voice said.


    "No way!"


    Alicia firmly refused: "It was Kross who came to save me at the start, how could I abandon him?"


    "What do we do then? It wasn''t easy for me to train you up," the youthful voice sounded anxious as well.


    "Don''t panic."


    "Little Star, if we hold them off, there''s a chance," Alicia responded fiercely: "Reinforcements are almost here."


    She was waiting!


    Why had she taken Kross and fled in this direction? She had received orders from an external base''s command.


    Just then, suddenly!


    Boom!


    From the distant horizon, a faint rumble of the earth''s trembling reached them, very slight, imperceptible to the common person.


    But the five brawling Prime Warriors, each capable of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, had perception abilities far beyond ordinary people.


    Almost at the same moment,


    Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom couldn''t help but glance over, seeing a figure speeding toward them from several kilometers away on the mountain ridge above, at an astonishing velocity of nearly 180 meters per second.


    The figure swept across the Vast Sky, momentum breathtaking.


    Alicia and Kross, too, glanced over with their peripheral vision, seeing the figure rushing towards them, his body faintly radiating an earth-yellow glow.


    His face wasn''t clear.


    But the two of them, through the prompt on their smart rings, instantly understood¡ªNumber 0001 had arrived.


    Li Yuan had come!!


    And from Li Yuan''s running speed, they could both infer that he had completed his breakthrough.


    "We''re saved."


    "We''re saved," the youthful voice echoed instantly in Alicia''s mind: "That little freak has come; no need to run anymore."


    "Shut up."


    Alicia coldly responded, her long sword whistling through the air, more determined than ever in fending off Lei Wu''s violent assaults.

 Chapter 237 Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Pass) _2

    She knew full well that this was the most dangerous moment."Kill!" Kross too had gone mad, his eyes faintly tinged red as he desperately fended off the attacks from Dong Ming and Mai Ka.


    The two fought on while moving closer to the rapidly approaching Li Yuan.


    In their desperate resistance, Lei Wu and his two companions were, for the moment, unable to take down Alicia and Kross.


    "Enemy reinforcements are coming."


    "Such speed, must be a Fifth Stage 20th-level Prime Warrior."


    From Li Yuan''s burst of speed alone, Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka could tell that the newcomer was trouble.


    "Dong Ming, go intercept him," Lei Wu issued the command.


    "Understood."


    The fiery red, burly figure holding a long spear instantly shook off Kross and turned into a streak of fiery red light, charging toward Li Yuan who was now within a kilometer of the battlefield.


    "A genius from the Seven Star Civilization, that''s all there is to it."


    "My physical quality is close to 21st level, and I also possess Fifth Stage skills! Intercept? I''ll have to kill you," said the fiery red, burly figure confidently, a core prodigy from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Faced with a genius from the Seven Star Civilization, he couldn''t help but adopt a ''condescending attitude.''


    And the three of them had been on a killing spree all the way here.


    They had swept through large areas for hours without any obstruction, continuously slaughtering as they went, and even when encountering Alicia and Kross, they were still dominating the fight.


    How could they not feel confident?


    Boom! The fiery red, burly figure''s speed soared to 180 meters per second, his limit in the Unity of Heaven and Man state.


    Rumbling~


    The two figures raced across the earth, one entirely khaki like a small boulder, the other like a flaming meteor... The ground trembled; within seconds, they had crossed over a kilometer and finally collided head-on.


    "Die." The fiery red, burly figure bellowed angrily, his spear thrusting out like a dragon emerging from the sea, viciously aimed at the plummeting Li Yuan.


    The ferocity of this thrust caused the air itself to boom with a resonating blast.


    Dong Ming believed that even Lei Wu would have to slightly dodge the sharpness of this spear thrust.


    Boom! Li Yuan, who had just neared the battlefield and saw that Alicia and her companions seemed to still be holding on, had deliberately concealed his speed, but now he finally summoned all his Vigor in that instant.


    His speed leapt from 180 meters per second, suddenly increasing by a significant margin.


    "Not good," Dong Ming''s face changed slightly, sensing Li Yuan''s aura suddenly become as fierce as a primitive beast.


    But it was too late for him to respond.


    "Damn you, it''s you!" An enraged shout exploded like thunder.


    Boom! A terrifying spiritual shock, like a surging river, instantly swept over everything.


    "Pong~" Dong Ming, a core prodigy of the Divine Kingdom with naturally extraordinary talent and very respectable spiritual power, having reached 25th level¡­ However, Li Yuan''s spiritual power had also greatly increased.


    Jumping from 30.5 to 31.4 level, such an increase in foundation after surpassing 30th level... was tremendously exaggerated.


    Like a heavy hammer smashing down, it momentarily stunned Dong Ming''s mind.


    And in the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, Li Yuan was unleashing a Spiritual Secret Technique in that instant.


    Whoosh!


    His Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust out, with the explosive force of over 300,000 kilograms; a thrust like a myriad of stars filling the vast sky, the force swirling like a vortex, each spear tip imbued with unstoppable terror.


    True Intent Killing Move¡ªGalactic Spiral.


    This defensive move, used for the offense, was equally terrifying, capable of vastly enhancing the Spear Technique''s power.


    "Tear!"


    With the tremendous force, the thrust instantly shook open Dong Ming''s instinctively thrust spear, and the spear tip then struck his body, piercing straight through the surface Origin Power defense and thoroughly penetrating the Origin Power Battle Suit.


    A thrust pierced through.


    The impact burst forth!


    "No!!" Dong Ming''s excruciating pain snapped him back to clarity, followed by endless fear flashing in his eyes.


    "Tear~"


    Dong Ming''s burly body, along with his Origin Power Battle Garment, was already torn into two halves.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan did not hesitate and immediately dashed forward, thrusting his spear out swiftly once more!


    He struck directly at Dong Ming''s half-body''s head that was thrown into the air.


    "Pong~" The head instantly exploded!


    The core prodigy of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, ''Dong Ming,'' died!


    The most fatal weak point of a Prime Warrior was the ''head''; otherwise, even if the body was half-destroyed, the heart shattered¡­ if there were precious life-saving items, there was still a chance of survival.


    The life that has stepped onto the extraordinary path cannot be equated with the life that has not.


    Thus, in combat with Prime Warriors, the best way to confirm the enemy''s death.


    Was to destroy the head.


    "[You have slain a Second-Rank being, obtained spiritual nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 38.7%]" A prompt from the Divine Palace flashed across Li Yuan''s vision.


    The reason for such a large increase.


    It was because on his way here, Li Yuan had casually killed an ordinary Prime Warrior of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom... plus several First Rank Martial Artists.


    Actually.


    The current team of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was centered around Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka, with over a hundred people concentrated within a radius of dozens of kilometers to search... Once someone encountered trouble, they would transmit a message to let Lei Wu and the others rush over.


    These hundred-plus people were like a giant grinding mill, crushing all the strong warriors of the Seven Star Civilization they encountered along the way.


    That''s why Alicia and the others were discovered so quickly.


    Similarly.


    Once Li Yuan broke in, it also meant there was a complete hope of inflicting a devastating blow on the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s team in a very short time.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan, who killed Dong Ming with two shots.


    Did not bother to pick up the spoils of war.


    Instead, like a bolt of lightning, his movement speed did not diminish in the slightest, continuing to kill towards the distant Lei Wu and Mai Ka.


    ...


    "What?"


    "Killed Dong Ming in a single encounter?" Both Lei Wu and Mai Ka were shocked at the sight.


    They had thought that even if Dong Ming couldn''t stop this newly supported Seven Star Civilization Prime Warrior, delaying him should be no problem.


    Who could have imagined, with just one encounter, Dong Ming was dead.


    "Where did this monster come from?" Mai Ka''s heart trembled.


    "Even for me, going all out to kill Dong Ming would take dozens of moves, a single encounter?" Lei Wu was even more shocked in his heart, "If my combat power is 600, this person''s combat strength is definitely over 1000!"


    "This guy, at least, is a Semi Divine Level genius, absolutely the primary force of the Seven Star Civilization that has killed their way in, I am no match for him."


    "Escape!"


    Boom! Boom! Lei Wu and Mai Ka transmitted messages like lightning while they didn''t hesitate to flee.


    No choice!


    Li Yuan''s display of overwhelming dominance completely intimidated the two of them.


    Your journey continues on empire


    "Pursue and kill." S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t run." Alicia, Kross wanted to pursue but felt somewhat helpless.


    The previous battle had caused significant damage to their bodies.


    ... "This?"


    "Li Yuan?" Both Kross and Alicia were shocked and excited in their hearts.


    They knew Li Yuan was powerful, that once he broke through to become a Prime Warrior, he''d definitely be more terrifying, but they hadn''t expected him to be terrifying to this extent.


    "Escaping for their lives?"


    "That purple figure''s speed is not inferior to mine! First kill the easier one." Li Yuan quickly judged in his heart and rushed straight towards Mai Ka.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The earth trembled, Lei Wu and Mai Ka fled in separate directions, especially Lei Wu, whose Physical Quality was slightly stronger than Li Yuan''s, even if his Skill Realm was slightly weaker, but altogether, his speed was not inferior to Li Yuan''s.


    As for Mai Ka? His speed was fast, but Li Yuan''s full-force burst was even more terrifying.


    In just over ten seconds.


    Li Yuan had caught up to Mai Ka.


    "Fall." Li Yuan''s gaze was icy cold.


    In a battle for life and death, a clash of civilizations, he couldn''t allow himself any mercy.


    Boom! A Spiritual Shock surged, dazzling Spear Light cut through the Vast Sky, directly piercing through Mai Ka''s chest.


    The body tore apart, turning into a sky of blood rain, quickly splattering in all directions on the earth.


    A one-shot kill!


    "Sure runs fast, speed is even slightly faster than mine." Li Yuan frowned as he looked into the distance, the purple figure had already sprinted nearly two kilometers away.


    Escaping rapidly.


    Li Yuan''s ''Spiritual Attack'' depended on the range of his Divine Sense, it could only affect within a hundred meters, and the closer the distance, the better the effect...


    When an opponent with such outrageous physical prowess was bent on escaping, it was nearly impossible for Li Yuan to pursue and kill him.


    "Wait another day."


    "After I consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, it won''t be difficult to kill him the next time we meet." Li Yuan also didn''t rashly pursue.


    Now, it wasn''t confirmed that this person was the strongest in the ''Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s'' team.


    Improving his strength was most important.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan stood on the spot and quickly collected the many spoils of war left behind by ''Mai Ka.''


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan." Alicia and Kross were a few seconds slower, but finally caught up.

    ```"Li Yuan, thank you so much. If you hadn''t come, both of us would definitely have been dead," Kross said with emotion.


    "Li Yuan," Alicia''s battle garment hood fell, revealing her golden hair and blue eyes, which were strikingly beautiful and full of exotic charm, "thank you."


    "Kross, Alicia, how are both of you?" It was only then that Li Yuan turned to look at the two.


    "I''m fine," Alicia said with a smile.


    "I''m a bit injured, but it''s not serious. With some life-preserving items that I prepared, I should recover in a few hours," Kross also said with a smile.


    "That''s good," Li Yuan nodded.


    This trip into the World within Worlds was fraught with great risk.


    Therefore, whether it was the seven great prodigies or the ordinary Prime Warriors, all carried a considerable number of treasures.


    "Li Yuan, your strength is too formidable," Kross couldn''t help but say, "the few we fought against, whose strength was clearly on par with ours, were casually dealt with by you in a single encounter."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    The two he had just killed were far inferior in physical quality, and to be precise, only half as strong as him. Their skills were also weaker, probably at the Fifth Stage Initial Rank... indeed talented, but not much in front of him.


    Geniuses? One should know that within the higher-ups of the Seven Star Alliance, he was acknowledged as a top-tier genius in the entire history of the civilization, and absolutely the first among his peers.


    Even without the Spiritual Secret Technique, Li Yuan was confident he could kill them within twenty moves.


    With the Spiritual Secret Technique, it was decisive.


    "It''s a pity, I''m not strong enough, letting the last one escape," Li Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Kross and Alicia were both taken aback.


    Not strong enough?


    "Li Yuan, your Physical Quality should have reached level 22, right?" Alicia asked curiously.


    "Uh-huh," Li Yuan nodded slightly, as there was nothing to hide about this.


    Both of their skill realms were extremely high, and they could roughly estimate from the speed, strength, and power of the moves he deployed.


    "The Myriad Life Extension Fruit''s effect is really good," Kross said with emotion, "but only in your hands can it produce such a great effect; it would be somewhat wasted on us."


    "I haven''t used the Myriad Life Extension Fruit yet," Li Yuan shook his head.


    Read new adventures at empire


    "What?"


    "You haven''t used the Myriad Life Extension Fruit?" Kross and Alicia were shocked.


    This was completely beyond their expectations.


    "Li Yuan, without using the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, how can your Physical Quality be so strong?" Alicia couldn''t help but ask.


    She had used the Hundred Star Fruit to break through and establish her Sea of Source Energy, becoming a Martial Artist, but her Physical Quality only just reached level 20.1.


    She couldn''t fathom how, without using the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, Li Yuan''s strength could become so formidable. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I don''t know," Li Yuan shook his head, "After I made a breakthrough, following the high-ranked Cultivation Methods and the Law Creation experiences of the predecessors... I awakened three Star Meridians at once, one of which has already awakened to the level of the Fifth Layer Star Veins."


    "What?"


    "Awakened three Star Meridians all at once?" Kross and Alicia were completely flabbergasted upon hearing this.


    Their horizons were very high and they naturally understood the difference between the number of Star Meridians and the layers of Star Meridians.


    If Li Yuan had cultivated high-rank Cultivation Methods from the beginning and awakened to the Fifth Layer, they would understand.


    But the key point was, based on what they knew about Li Yuan, he hadn''t awakened martial spirit at all.


    How could he be such a monster?


    "Alicia!!"


    "A genius! A true genius!"


    "He hadn''t even cultivated any cultivation methods and became a Prime Warrior in one step?" A juvenile voice screeched in Alicia''s mind, "If what he said is true, then it means his Star Meridian potential is extremely high, exaggeratedly so."


    "That''s why he could immediately elevate his Life Level to level 22 upon his breakthrough."


    "Then, he may very well have the potential to awaken Seven Star Veins, Nine Layer Star Veins. It''s just too monstrous."


    "How could your Fourth Level Civilization give birth to such a monstrous genius."


    "Little Star, are Seven Star Veins, Nine Layer Star Veins that strong?" Alicia asked with confusion.


    She was aware of the basic concepts of Star Meridians and Star Techniques, but her vision wasn''t as broad as Li Yuan''s.


    "Strong? It''s monstrous!!"


    "Even among the vast dimensions of the cosmos, in those extremely powerful nations and sects, Seven Star Veins qualify as top-notch geniuses," the juvenile voice vibrated with a hint of excitement, "To develop and awaken one Star Meridian to Nine Layers is the foundation of cultivating the Supreme Star Technique."


    "If one can wield an offensive Supreme Star Technique proficiently, it would be very easy to slay a Demigod of the Flying Heaven."


    "It''s just a pity."


    "He was born in your weak Fourth Level Civilization, making his rise to prominence much more difficult... If you want to surpass this Li Yuan, it''s really a bit difficult. He''s not just a little monster, he''s a great one," the juvenile voice lamented.


    "Weren''t you saying that you''re definitely able to make me surpass Li Yuan?" Alicia replied with a smile.


    "It''s different! Different!" the juvenile voice exclaimed, "You need to understand, if what Li Yuan just said is true, and not bragging... coupled with his Comprehension talent, if he were in a high-level civilization, even Divine beings would scramble to take him as a disciple."


    "Being sought after by Divine beings as a disciple?" Alicia was shaken inwardly.


    She knew Little Star was powerful; in Little Star''s words, even a Demigod seemed not much... But towards Divine beings, Little Star still maintained great reverence.


    "Being sought after by Divine beings as a disciple, what does that say about Li Yuan''s potential?" Little Star replied.


    ...


    Alicia''s communication with the resident wraith.


    Li Yuan, of course, had no idea about all this, and he didn''t really have a clear concept of the true significance of the information he had revealed.


    ```

 Chapter 238 Divine Beings Vying to Take Disciples? (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

    ```In Li Yuan''s opinion, revealing that he had awakened three Star Meridians at once, though it was an exaggeration, still fell within a reasonable range and could be attributed to his exceptional talent.


    And the reason Li Yuan wanted to reveal this to Kross and Alicia was a simple one.


    He intended to use the two of them to convey the message to the higher-ups of the alliance.


    This was to lay the groundwork for directly taking the possible "Earth Origin Crystals" that might exist within the Worlds within Worlds later on.


    At the same time, it was also to lay the groundwork for revealing his extraordinary talent potential to the alliance''s top brass after leaving the World within Worlds... after all, according to Li Yuan''s plan, he would have to gradually reveal his "Nine Layers Star Vein" potential in order to receive the best cultivation from the entire civilization.


    "Conceal my talent?"


    "No! I concealed the talent of my Star Meridians when I was at the First Rank because it was beyond reasonable limits," Li Yuan thought. "But now I have stepped into the Second Rank, so even if I gradually awaken the Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins... it would all still be within a reasonable range."


    There is a difference between someone growing to three meters tall and someone sprouting a pair of wings.


    "I have talent, and the support of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace."


    "But I also need to strive for the best external cultivation conditions," Li Yuan thought. "Only then can I advance faster and more stably."


    How far a person can go depends on personal talent, but it''s also inseparable from external conditions.


    ...


    The three of them communicated at an extremely fast pace.


    Swiftly, Li Yuan, Kross, and Alicia pooled together their recovered items.

    "I''ll take half of all the treasures, and you two each take a quarter, how about that?" Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "No need."


    "Li Yuan, they''re all yours. If it weren''t for you, we both would be dead," Kross and Alicia both shook their heads.


    Divide half? The two of them still had some self-awareness.


    Moreover, as geniuses, they also had their pride.


    "I''ll take eighty percent of the treasures," Li Yuan did not insist. "Each of you will take roughly ten percent."


    "You also contributed, had you not held them back, I wouldn''t have been able to kill them," Li Yuan said earnestly.


    Ultimately.


    Convinced by Li Yuan, Kross and Alicia each accepted a portion of the treasures.


    "Li Yuan, what''s the next move? Continue hunting down the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors?" Kross inquired. "According to the information gathered by us martial artists, there should now be quite a number of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors gathered around us."


    The quick convergence of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s warriors and the relentless inquiry by the Seven Star Civilization''s powerhouses naturally garnered attention.


    "Let''s not,"


    "There''s no hurry at this moment. I would rather first consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit," Li Yuan said softly. "When my strength reaches its peak, I can then go directly to the outskirts of the Divine Palace ruins and annihilate the core experts of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom."


    Li Yuan was very cautious.


    Although his Spiritual Awakening Level was close to 39%, theoretically, by killing five or six Second Rank Alien Race members... Li Yuan was more worried that there might be existences stronger than Lei Wu among the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s forces.


    If encountered, could he be certain of winning?


    Better to lie low and grow first, and hunt with greater strength later.


    Martial Arts Cultivation and staking life on adventures despise reckless and meaningless bravery.


    Sooner or later, the Spiritual Awakening Level will reach 40%; what difference does it make a little sooner or a little later?


    In fact.


    If it wasn''t for the need to rescue Alicia and the others, Li Yuan would definitely continue his Concealed Cultivation and completely assimilate the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit before coming out of seclusion.


    "That might be best,"


    "The vicinity of the Divine Palace ruins indeed holds the top battle strength of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom," Alicia asserted.


    In the few hours while Li Yuan was in seclusion, the thousands of martial artists from the Seven Star Civilization explored the whole World within Worlds. Naturally, some ventured too near the Divine Palace ruins... all died in battle.


    Even two Prime Warriors had died.


    However, the news they sent back before dying clearly indicated there was a formidable enemy.


    "Do not approach the Divine Palace ruins for now," Li Yuan said softly. "After this battle, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom will surely be wary of me."


    "You two join the other martial artists first and explore the other areas of the World within Worlds."


    "Don''t stray too far from me; if you encounter danger, immediately seek my help."


    "Alright."


    "Understood," Kross and Alicia nodded without hesitation.


    Unknowingly, they had completely positioned themselves as subordinates.


    ...


    Soon after, the three of them separated.


    Li Yuan left alone, this time choosing a direction away from the Divine Palace ruins, and escaped over twenty kilometers.


    ```


    Just now, on an inconspicuous Gobi desert, he searched for an inconspicuous pit.


    He hid inside it.


    "Here, it''s over 20 kilometers from where the battle just took place, and over 180 kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Within a short time, even the top warriors from Gu Yue Divine Palace would find it difficult to locate me."


    He completely released his spiritual power.


    Concentrating his spirit, he calmed his mind, and after dozens of seconds, Li Yuan''s heart became completely tranquil.


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his palm, a translucent white fruit appeared in his hand. The surface of the fruit faintly shimmered with divine light and emitted a strange and intoxicating fragrance.


    "A Fourth Rank treasure."


    "How will it enhance my physical quality with a single use?" Li Yuan''s eyes gleamed with anticipation.


    He had no plans to save the treasure for trading later.


    Swallowed to secure, enhancing strength to cope with the imminent great battle.


    He opened his mouth.


    "Pfft~" Li Yuan, who already knew the effect of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, ate and swallowed it in a few bites. It melted instantly upon entering his mouth.


    Just after swallowing it.


    Hiss~ A refreshing sensation immediately rose from his abdomen and shot straight to the crown of his head, sending him into an invigorating shudder.


    Too exhilarating.


    "The Myriad Life Extension Fruit, containing immense energy, is generally painless to use as long as the body can bear it," Li Yuan thought with great joy.


    Rapidly.


    Hum~ Hum~ Invisible forces began to surge from his abdomen into the tendons and bones of his limbs and skeletal structure,


    Instantly, his body parts, which had ceased evolving, commenced a new round of transformation.


    Li Yuan felt his whole body subtly trembling, his bones becoming stronger, and his muscles, flesh, hair... every part of his body relentlessly grew stronger!!


    "[Your life level has increased from 22.2 to 22.3]"


    "[Your life level has increased from 22.3 to 22.4]" As time went by, a series of Divine Palace notifications flickered past Li Yuan''s line of sight.


    Astonishing transformation. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Leap-like growth.


    With Li Yuan''s realm of skill, he didn''t feel the slightest discomfort from the rapid transformation of his body.


    ...


    As Li Yuan consumed the Myriad Life Extension Fruit and a new round of transformation began.


    About eighty kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins, on the vast barren land.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The towering redhead with a black-robed, chubby man finally spotted a purple-robed figure rushing towards them.


    "Lei Wu," the burly redhead said in a deep voice, looking at the disheveled Lei Wu, "What exactly happened? You only sent a message saying that you encountered a great enemy and asked us to retreat immediately. What kind of great enemy is it?"


    "Are Dong Ming and Mai Ka really dead?" The black-robed chubby man couldn''t help but speak up, his eyes slightly red, as he had a good relationship with the two.


    Whoosh!


    Lei Wu flopped down on a rock, finally breathing a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing a trace of fear as he looked at the two and said, "Would I lie to you?"


    "You haven''t faced him in reality, you simply don''t understand."


    "The genius sent by the Seven Star Civilization is terrifyingly strong, his physical quality is close to mine, and his skill level is even higher than mine," Lei Wu continued with lingering fear in his eyes, "If I hadn''t escaped quickly, I would have been killed by him too."


    The burly redhead and the black-robed chubby man exchanged glances, a shock visible in their eyes.


    They knew well how powerful Lei Wu was.


    And how arrogant Lei Wu could be.


    To be driven to such a state? To flee in a panic, was that Seven Star Civilization genius that strong?


    "Tie Mu''er, how''s the situation with the message you sent to Mintian Hou asking for reinforcements?" Lei Wu turned to the burly redhead, "If there are no reinforcements, I plan to leave the relics'' world. I don''t want to die here."


    "The reinforcements are almost here."


    "They''ve already reached the Star Realm base and should be entering the remains world at any moment," Tie Mu''er quickly said, "Just ten minutes ago, General Shan Yun sent me a message."


    "The reinforcements, who are they?" Lei Wu asked.


    "Mo Hu! And he has brought a large number of First Rank warriors with him," Tie Mu''er said solemnly.


    "Mo Hu, he''s willing to risk coming here?" Lei Wu''s eyes flashed with surprise, "He''s a Semi Divine Level genius, probably the only one under Mintian Hou''s command, right?"


    The five of them, though elite under Mintian Hou''s command with the potential to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But such elites, and a Semi Divine Level genius, have an essential difference.

 Chapter 239 Shocking! The Effect of Rare Treasures (Additional 32)

    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, as a powerful civilization that gave birth to divine beings... is fundamentally different from the Seven Star Civilization.The Seven Star Civilization, due to the imperfection of the Martial Path, has to date only seven High Rank Cultivation Methods; thus, many martial arts talents have not been truly selected for various reasons. Your next read awaits at empire


    But the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with years of accumulation, has a better cultivation environment and a wider variety of cultivation techniques, resulting in an astonishing number of emerging elites among the younger generation.


    Given the same population, the number of Martial Artists born is more than ten times that of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Therefore, within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, there are many elite talents like Tie Mu''er and Lei Wu who have the potential to achieve ''Flying Heaven''.


    But!!


    Moving up, real talents who have the hope of becoming Demigods? In some ways, they are even rarer than a talent like Dantai Feng.


    The numbers are very small.


    Mintian Hou, as a powerful duke of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, is a true Semi-Divine being... and cannot directly command the Semi-Divine Level talents within the kingdom.


    Semi-Divine Level talents.


    Each one is a talent highly valued by the upper echelons of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    "Mo Hu is merely born from a territory owned by Mintian Hou, and cannot be said to be his subordinate," the short and plump man in black said solemnly, "It must be that Mintian Hou lured him with treasures."

    "Still, I remember Mo Hu is only at the 19th Level, right? To push him rapidly to Prime Warrior, Mintian Hou must have paid a heavy price," the man in black murmur regretfully.


    "Mmm."


    Both Tie Mu''er and Lei Wu nodded, harboring great respect for Mintian Hou and willing to follow his commands.


    But up to this point, they find this mission exceptionally challenging.


    The backlash from the Seven Star Civilization is beyond their expectations.


    "Since Mo Hu has come, he must have brought a Fourth Rank treasure with him. Once he breaks through his Physical Quality, he''ll definitely grow stronger rapidly, and killing the Seven Star Civilization talent mentioned by Lei Wu shouldn''t be difficult," the light flickered in the eyes of the man in black.


    He deeply desired to avenge the deaths of his two close friends, Dong Ming and Mai Ka.


    "In theory, that is true," the slender man in purple robes, ''Lei Wu'', said softly, "However, before Mo Hu completes his breakthrough, I suggest we retreat first."


    "And instruct everyone to pull back."


    "There''s no need to clash head-on with the people from the Seven Star Civilization," Lei Wu shook his head, "After all, we''re no longer in a position to gain the greatest benefits, preserving life is more important."


    "Right."


    "Lei Wu is correct," the bulky, red-haired man spoke in a deep voice, "Given the situation''s ambiguity, Mo Hu... may not necessarily win, and even if he does, he will be the primary contributor. What great merit would we have then?"


    "Our priority is to survive."


    The three quickly reached a consensus.


    If it were when they had first invaded the World within Worlds, relying on surprise attacks to sweep away the First Rank and Second Rank Martial Artists of the Blazing Flame Family, they were full of ambition, aiming to establish grand merits and even more so to uncover the true secrets of this relic world.


    But now?


    Having witnessed Li Yuan''s terrifying strength, along with the arrival of the Semi-Divine Level talent Mo Hu... they had all calmed down.


    The battle for the World within Worlds has become extremely hazardous for them.


    A mere misstep could lead to their demise.


    ...


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm''s war base, within that oversized conference room.


    "What?"


    "Li Yuan managed to kill talents on the same level as Alicia and the others in just one encounter?"


    "Killed two and one fled?" Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe anticipated this and remained composed.


    But Tavares, Abbott, and the Blazing Cloud Fox were somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing the news.


    That''s excessively valiant.


    "Blazing Cloud Fox, are you satisfied now?" Wu Manong said coldly, "Still have any objections about Li Yuan? If not for him, I doubt your family''s century-old foundation would have been preserved."


    "I was wrong, Li Yuan is indeed formidable," Blazing Cloud Fox admitted, "After the war is over and the World within Worlds is under our control, I will be sure to thank Li Yuan in person."


    This scene somewhat surprised Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others.


    A respectable Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Resilient and adaptable!


    "Old Yu, come out for a moment," Wu Manong whispered suddenly.


    "Okay," Yu Jinghe nodded, aware of what Wu Manong wanted to discuss with him.


    It was about the secret message passed by Alicia and Kross.


    "Tavares, you take command for now," Wu Manong instructed before leaving the conference room with Yu Jinghe.


    ...


    The two arrived in another conference room.


    "Did you see the message too?" Yu Jinghe asked softly.


    "Hmm, the authority to receive secret messages is limited to just you and me," Wu Manong replied gravely, "It just feels... somewhat incredible to me."


    "To not use Myriad Life Extension Fruit, yet directly surge to the 22nd Level in Physical Quality, it truly is unbelievable," Yu Jinghe''s voice carried a hint of amazement, "But if what Alicia and the others said is true... and if Li Yuan indeed awakened three Star Meridians in one go, with one reaching the Fifth Layer, then his rapid increase in Physical Quality is also not impossible."


    "I always considered myself a genius, and I find it difficult to concede to anyone," Wu Manong shook his head slightly, "But compared to Li Yuan... I indeed fall short by a lot."


    "Do not be too hard on yourself," Yu Jinghe smiled, "On the path of the Martial Path, focus on oneself, why bother about others?"


    "For us,"


    "The stronger Li Yuan is, the better, right?" Yu Jinghe laughed, "It''s a good thing for our entire Seven Star Civilization."


    "I know it''s a good thing,"


    "It''s just, such monstrous talents have only been heard of emerging from godly civilizations before," Wu Manong said with a sense of sentiment, "The era of the Hall Master... is too far removed from us."


    "He''s just under 19, and with his Comprehension coupled with such meridian talents... perhaps our Seven Star Civilization will soon produce another supreme being to rival the Hall Master," Wu Manong reflected.


    "Mmm," Yu Jinghe nodded slightly.


    As top talents of the entire civilization, their combat power on par with Flying Heaven Warriors, they had access to many secret messages... but in their hearts, Dongfang Ji had always remained at the pinnacle.


    He was the Seas Calming Divine Needle of the entire civilization.


    "Report to the top," Yu Jinghe said with a smile, "Submit it to the highest echelon of the Martial Hall, and let them decide."


    "Right."


    "As for how he should be cultivated, await the command from the highest echelon."


    In this operation, Wu Manong was directly in command... and Yu Jinghe, in a sense, was there to supervise.


    As a genius from Xia Country and a member of the Starfire Martial Hall... Yu Jinghe might not be the strongest Prime Warrior in the Seven Star Civilization, but he is definitely one of the most trusted.


    ...


    Though sending messages from the Star Realm is not easy, and across planets even less so,


    for matters of such importance, the highest level of communication resources are activated.


    Just ten minutes later,


    a few of the top brass from the Seven Star Alliance and Starfire Martial Hall were already aware of some details regarding Li Yuan and the World within Worlds.


    Above Kunlun Martial University on Blue Star,


    inside a giant saucer-shaped flying craft, within the Quiet Cultivation Room, a large screen was projecting an image.


    "Haha, Fang Hai, it looks like we made the right call," Bai Shan Semi-Divine, dressed in a white casual outfit, said with a cheerful laugh: "Li Yuan indeed has immense potential."


    "His Star Meridian talent is even stronger than we imagined," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said excitedly.


    As the first Semi-Divine and the actual leader of Xia Country,


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine pays close attention to any new talent born in Xia Country and places great importance on the younger generation.


    Yu Jinghe has done very well, and he is very satisfied.


    But compared to Yu Jinghe, it is Li Yuan''s Transformation level that really caught his attention.


    "When do you plan to tell your teacher?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Fang Hai: "With Li Yuan''s Comprehension paired with such a Star Meridian talent, he should qualify, shouldn''t he?"


    "At least, our Seven Star Civilization probably hasn''t had such a monstrous talent before," Bai Shan Semi-Divine remarked.


    In fact, Li Yuan himself could not have imagined the shock that his slight revelations had caused among the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization.


    "Indeed not."


    "Even Xue Bu Semi-Divine doesn''t seem to have a Star Meridian talent like Li Yuan," Fang Hai whispered: "But there is no need to hurry, for now it''s only the word of a few combatant geniuses."


    "Moreover, Li Yuan is still inside that divine ruin and hasn''t returned."


    "Once he comes back, if I personally verify that it''s as reported today," Fang Hai said slowly, "I will naturally report to my master."


    "By then, my master will surely be very pleased as well."


    "That works too," Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded.


    "By the way, have you verified what the Blazing Flame Family said?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked: "Did that little girl, Lin Lanyue, really enter?"


    "It''s not certain."


    "We are helpless since it''s a divine relic located in the Second Level Star Realm," Fang Hai shook his head: "All we can do is let Li Yuan and the others fight it out."


    "As for Mintian Hou...even though Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is powerful, he is just a common marquis and should only have limited resources at his disposal; his subordinates are unlikely to possess a First Rank Life Level genius capable of defeating Li Yuan," Fang Hai added.


    Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is well-versed in the Seven Star Civilization.


    Similarly, for the Seven Star Civilization to stand tall, grow stronger over the centuries, and gradually infiltrate numerous star realms... it naturally has its own sources of intelligence.


    In just a few days,


    the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization had already confirmed that the one vying for the ''World within Worlds'' against them was none other than Mintian Hou from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    ...


    As the outside world was in turmoil, Li Yuan, who was in the World within Worlds, was naturally unaware, for he had been fully digesting the miraculous effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit.


    Time passed, and the torrential, endless vitality almost completely submerged him.


    His Physical Quality soared incessantly.


    The continuous Transformation of muscles and bones made his strength and speed increasingly terrifying; his life aura became stronger and stronger.


    Most importantly, it was the vitality of his body''s flesh and cell tissues... Li Yuan could clearly feel that the vast majority of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit''s energy was spent on enhancing cellular vitality.


    After a full six hours,


    the effectiveness of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit finally depleted, and Li Yuan''s Transformation came to a halt.


    "Finally, the Transformation is complete."


    "A precious treasure of the Fourth Rank, invaluable, is just gone like that," Li Yuan murmured to himself, opening his eyes, a glint flashing through them.


    Li Yuan''s gaze also swept over his Divine Palace panel.


    ----


    [Life Level: 23.7 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 281,000 kilograms


    Speed: 215 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 31.8


    Willpower: 33


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 38.9% (Current upper limit 40%)


    ...


    "Life Level 23.7,"


    Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling the terrifying, surging power within him: "Fist Strength has increased by about 90,000 kilograms in one go."


    "Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?"


    "What do you have to stop me?" Li Yuan stood up and walked to the cave entrance.


    ----


    ps: I made a mistake in the setting in the last chapter regarding storage magical treasures, which has been corrected, apologies!

 Chapter 240 Five Elements Divine Crystal

    A few days ago, when Wu Manong introduced it.He had mentioned the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, stating that its primary effect was increasing the vitality of the body''s flesh and bones, with improving physical quality being secondary... Among fourth rank treasures, very few can directly enhance physical quality without any side effects.


    Body vitality, such as limb regeneration, refers to greatly enhanced healing and life-preserving abilities.


    Now that Li Yuan has personally used it, he can confirm that Wu Manong''s words were no fabrication.


    "From level 20 to level 22, Basic Fist Strength increased from 80,000 kilograms to 180,000 kilograms," Li Yuan thought to himself: "And I went from level 22.2 to level 23.7... Similarly, that''s an increase of nearly 90,000 kilograms in Fist Strength."


    The higher the Life Level, the more astonishing the gap in strength becomes.


    "In just a few days."


    "My physical quality has multiplied several times over," Li Yuan''s eyes shone with light: "Has my strength not increased by more than tenfold?"


    The same physical quality can lead to different levels of combat power in the hands of different people.


    This time entering the World within Worlds has resulted in a drastic transformation for Li Yuan.


    "Now if I run into Uncle Wan in a fight to the death, I estimate it would take about thirty moves to defeat him... Hmm, Uncle Wan is my elder, I shouldn''t think like this," Li Yuan shook his head slightly, then immediately smiled again: "In any case, Uncle Wan is no longer my match."


    Wan Qinghe, the ''Starfire GuanShan Sub-Hall Master'', who over a year ago seemed incredibly powerful in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Unknowingly, Li Yuan had truly surpassed him.


    "It''s time to go."


    "First, I need to find Alicia and Si Feng and the others," Li Yuan''s eyes quickly glanced at the Divine Palace panel: "But the most important thing is to push my Spiritual Awakening Level up to 40%."


    I''m only 1.1% away from the 40% Awakening Level.


    In theory, just five or six more kills of Second Rank members of the Alien Race should suffice.


    Once attained, opening the fourth infusion of Origin Power, Li Yuan expects his Physical Quality will surge once again.


    "What a pity."


    "In this World within Worlds, Second Rank members of the Alien Race don''t seem to be as common as cabbages," Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    ...


    The World within Worlds has a maximum diameter of 500 kilometers.


    Among the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, there are two particularly special places.


    The first are the exits scattered throughout the World within Worlds, so numerous they make the scalp tingle, almost impossible to guard completely. This is also why the Blazing Flame Family fell victim to stealth attacks.


    The second is the central Relic Divine Palace, which has been raided multiple times by the younger members of the Blazing Flame Family throughout history.


    The Relic Divine Palace contains the greatest secrets of the entire World within Worlds.


    "According to the Blazing Flame Family, Lanyue vanished without a trace, most likely having entered the interior of the Relic Divine Palace," Li Yuan naturally hadn''t forgotten his initial purpose for entering the World within Worlds.


    While on the move.


    Li Yuan also had communicated with Kross, Alicia, and others, getting a clear picture of the current situation.


    "Li Yuan, we can''t find anyone," Alicia''s voice came through the communicator, tinged with confusion: "In the first few hours when you began your closed-door cultivation, we could still find quite a few members from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom."


    "We have eliminated quite a few enemies!"


    "But in the past two hours, even though the 3,000 plus First Rank Martial Artists are scattered across the World within Worlds, we can''t find any trace at all, not a single person."


    "In fact, Kross, Si Feng, Bai Ya, and I have come together. Even after entering the ruins of the Divine Palace, we couldn''t find any trace of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s team," said Alicia.


    "No one? What about that Divine Kingdom master who escaped from me earlier?" Li Yuan asked.


    "We haven''t encountered him again," said Alicia.


    Li Yuan fell into thought; according to previous reports, within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team, there were at least two top masters.


    One was the one who had escaped from him.


    The other was previously stationed at the relics of the Divine Palace, consistently killing many Prime Warriors from his own side.


    In terms of strength, these two masters should be stronger than Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Kross.


    Probably, only Alicia could manage to hold off one of them... Li Yuan could infer a thing or two about Alicia''s true strength through her battle with Lei Wu.


    But now, not one could be found?


    "Could it be that these Gu Yue Divine Kingdom masters, knowing they can''t beat me, have directly withdrawn from the World within Worlds?" Li Yuan wondered.


    Li Yuan wasn''t too worried though; if the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team left, that would be the best outcome, as it would avoid further casualties on his side... As for the Spiritual Awakening Level?


    After leaving the World within Worlds, searching for some Second Rank members of the Alien Race in the Second Level Star Realm could certainly achieve the same result.


    Origin Power infusion was just to improve Physical Quality, and not Spiritual Guidance, so Li Yuan wasn''t in a rush.


    "Search!"


    "Alicia, order all First Rank Martial Artists to continue searching with all their might. I suspect they are hiding, waiting for reinforcements," Li Yuan issued the order: "Search repeatedly to ensure no members of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom remain in the World within Worlds."


    "Even if they hide, it''s impossible for them to keep hiding. Once any trace is found, report it immediately."


    "Also, keep an eye on all known entry and exit points," Li Yuan said.


    "Understood," Alicia responded solemnly.


    In fact, Li Yuan''s orders were very similar to the ones given by Wu Manong.


    Only repeated inquiries can confirm without doubt.


    "Oh, and Li Yuan," Alicia suddenly said, her voice containing a hint of surprise: "We''ve just got word from the team exploring large Origin Crystal mines¡ªthey''ve just reported that they have nearly locked down the core location... Here, there might actually be a fourth rank treasure ''Five Elements Divine Crystal''."


    "Five Elements Divine Crystal?" Li Yuan''s eyes brightened.


    Read new chapters at empire


    Like the Fire Divine Crystal, Earth Origin Crystal, and so on, all can be collectively referred to as ''Five Elements Divine Crystal''.


    "Where is it?" Li Yuan immediately asked. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It''s about 30 kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins," said Alicia. "However, to truly seize the treasure, I''m afraid there will be some trouble."


    "Trouble?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "You''ll understand once you get here," Alicia communicated. "One Prime Warrior has already... died."


    "Not killed by a powerful fighter of the Gu Yue Divine Palace, but died from the dangers of the ore vein itself."


    "I''m currently on my way there with Si Feng," Alicia said.


    "Alright, I''ll be right there," Li Yuan''s sense of caution intensified.


    The ones dispatched to the Middle Realm this time included a hundred Prime Warriors capable of direct breakthrough... although for him, the strength of a Level 20 Prime Warrior was hardly worth mentioning.


    In reality, Prime Warriors possess Origin Power and can unleash a punch with the force of a hundred thousand kilograms, or move a hundred meters in a flash. In the eyes of ordinary people, they''re already close to superhuman, and it is very difficult to kill them with common natural dangers.


    Boom!


    Transforming into a streak of light, Li Yuan slightly adjusted his direction and hurried towards the ''Ore Vein Core Location'' sent by Alicia.


    ...


    As Li Yuan rushed to the core of the ore vein.


    About 300 kilometers away from him, there was a continuous range of rocky gobi mountains.


    At the base of the mountain, lay an immense cavern illuminated by a few lights.


    At this moment, Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu, and the black-clothed, portly man, all intent on surviving, were waiting here.


    With them were nearly twenty ordinary Prime Warriors and dozens of First Rank Martial Artists.


    Conserve strength!


    Avoid further casualties.


    Suddenly¡ª


    The faint sound of footsteps arose from a tunnel deep within the cavern, as if an invisible pressure enveloped the whole cave.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu, and the others instantly turned their heads to look.


    "He''s here," Lei Wu whispered.


    Seconds later, they saw a figure in a fiery red robe enter the main chamber of the cavern. His cheeks were rosy and slightly gaunt.


    Most striking were his eyes, sharp to the extreme.


    As his piercing gaze swept over them, Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu, and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.


    "Prince Mo Hu," Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu, and several dozen others greeted him in unison, their voices echoing through the cavern.


    In the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, the status of demigod geniuses was extremely high, on par with the peak of the Flying Heaven Level.


    To anyone below the Flying Heaven Level, one must address them as "Your Highness" as a sign of respect.


    "I have completed my breakthrough," declared Prince Mo Hu nonchalantly. "Now, I need you to tell me everything you know about the latest intelligence on the enemy."


    "Yes."


    "Among the Seven Star Civilizations, according to the data we have collected so far, there are at least five Flying Heaven Level geniuses," Tie Mu''er said respectfully. "There may be others we haven''t discovered yet, after all, we are few in number and can''t possibly encounter all of the Seven Star Civilization''s strong fighters."


    "Hmm," Prince Mo Hu nodded slightly.


    Flying Heaven Level geniuses? Typically, those who can reach the Fifth Stage in their artistry while at the First Rank or early Second Rank Life Level, in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, are qualified to be called ''Flying Heaven Level geniuses.''


    "Of course, with Your Highness'' strength, these people aren''t worth worrying about. After all, they have just broken through and their Physical Quality seems to not even reach Level 21," Tie Mu''er said. "What we truly need to be cautious of is that suspected Demigod Level genius."


    "Lei Wu, you have actually fought against him. You tell the story," Tie Mu''er looked towards Lei Wu.


    "Fought and lived?" Prince Mo Hu looked at Lei Wu with interest.


    "Your Highness is joking," Lei Wu laughed bitterly. "I fled at the first opportunity, that''s how I survived."


    "That suspected Demigod Level genius, his Physical Quality should be on par with mine, between Level 22.0 and 22.5," Lei Wu said.


    "Quite average," Prince Mo Hu commented indifferently. "The Seven Star Civilization, after all, is just a Fourth Level Civilization. Even their top geniuses coming to compete for the divine inheritance can''t provide much in the way of treasures."


    Tie Mu''er and Lei Wu were speechless. Like the two of them, their Physical Quality had soared to Level 22 right after their breakthrough, thanks to precious treasures they had consumed.


    In their view, Mintian Hou had paid a great price for it.


    Yet it''s still ''quite average''?


    Such words could only come from ''Prince Mo Hu,'' a Demigod Level genius.


    After all, he was someone who could converse directly with demigods.


    Even among the many geniuses of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Prince Mo Hu was truly top-notch.


    "His artistry is near the Fifth Stage High Rank," Lei Wu said earnestly.


    "Near the Fifth Stage High Rank?" Surprise flashed in Prince Mo Hu''s eyes. "That high?"


    "Yes."


    "The key point is, I suspect he possesses a Flying Heaven Level soul, with extremely powerful Spiritual Secret Techniques," Lei Wu said seriously. "It''s the combination that allowed him to annihilate Dong Ming and Mai Ka in one encounter."


    "A Flying Heaven Level soul?" Prince Mo Hu''s gaze finally became serious.


    Then, Prince Mo Hu''s lips curled into a slight smile: "This trip indeed seems interesting."


    "Such a small Seven Star Civilization was actually able to produce a Demigod Level genius. It''s a pity that his Physical Quality is just average. He can''t fully utilize his artistry to compete, not worth worrying about."


    "Let''s go," Prince Mo Hu proceeded to walk out of the cave.


    "Your Highness, what are we doing now?" Tie Mu''er quickly followed and inquired.


    "To the site of the relics."


    "If we encounter that Demigod Level genius from the Seven Star Civilization, we''ll just dispose of him on the way."

 Chapter 241 The Hand that Enshrouds World within Worlds? The Divine Crystal Appears!

    Li Yuan was unaware of the arrival of the Semi Divine Level genius ''Mo Hu''.Because there was only one passage controlled by the Seven Star Civilization to enter the World within Worlds through the Luminous Passage.


    Once they entered the World within Worlds through the passage, the number of exits within it was vast. Each entrant would be randomly sent to any one of the exits¡­ So far, combined with the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, the total number of discovered exits had exceeded three hundred.


    Moreover, after many trials by the Blazing Flame Family, return through any exit¡­ would lead back to the original passage.


    Guarding these exits made it easier to judge whether more reinforcements from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were coming.


    But as for how many exits remained unchecked and uncontrolled, that was unclear.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization speculated that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom surely controlled a new passage as well as many exits unknown to their side.


    Otherwise, it would have been impossible to secretly send a large number of people into the World within Worlds.


    But as for how the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had gained control of the new passage? The Seven Star Civilization did not yet know.


    The Blazing Flame Family''s previous claim to ''control the World within Worlds'' was just guarding one passage.


    Although the Blazing Flame Family had always been exploring the World within Worlds, the true secrets of the World within Worlds? The Blazing Flame Family was also vague in their descriptions.


    In fact, when Mo Hu, along with Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu, and their group set out.


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the core area of the mine vein mentioned by Alicia.


    Under the continuous, vast mountain ranges.


    A rift valley approximately a hundred meters wide and several kilometers long appeared in Li Yuan''s sight.


    "The Five Elements Divine Crystal is in this valley?" Li Yuan frowned and said.


    Next to him, besides Alicia and Si Feng, there were nearly a hundred Martial Artists equipped with various instruments, most of whom were First Rank Martial Artists, but there were also five who had just broken through as Prime Warriors.


    "Tong Guan, you speak." Alicia whispered, "This is our captain, also the strongest among us in the World within Worlds operation, number 0001."


    "Number 0001?"


    "He is number 0001?" The five newly emerged Prime Warriors looked at Li Yuan with both curiosity and awe.


    Before entering the World within Worlds, they had already heard about the terrifying strength of this number 0001¡­ killing early Prime Warriors like themselves depended solely upon the amount of Origin Power.


    The Prime Warrior named Tong Guan, with a burly build, stepped forward respectfully and said, "Senior."


    Senior?


    Hearing this title, a movement stirred in Li Yuan''s heart but he did not refute.


    In Martial Arts Cultivation, unless there is a clear master-disciple relationship, age is never used as a measure of seniority; strength comes first.


    Being addressed as ''senior'' by an early Prime Warrior, Li Yuan felt that he could indeed bear such a title.


    "Speak of the situation," Li Yuan said softly.


    "Yes," Tong Guan nodded, "The 200 First Rank Martial Artists that our group of eight is responsible for are tasked with surveying this large Divine Crystal vein. We brought many instruments. Of course, many have died now¡­ According to the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, as we explored along the way, we finally located this place based on the fluctuations of Origin Power."


    Tong Guan pointed towards the depths of the valley.


    "Deep in the valley should be the core of many nodes within the entire vein," Tong Guan said, his eyes revealing a hint of fear, "Three of us Prime Warriors joined forces to descend, but upon reaching the bottom of the valley¡­ we encountered an attack."


    "An attack?" Li Yuan said softly, "Strong individuals from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?"


    "No! Not them!"


    "They weren''t humanoid creatures," Tong Guan shook his head, "We aren''t sure if they are indigenous lifeforms of the World within Worlds or not.


    Their individual strength isn''t too strong, probably at most level 18 or 19, but their numbers are astonishingly vast, almost like a tide¡­ The three of us had to flee in haste, Belo was the slowest, and in the act of covering us, was outright overwhelmed by the massive numbers of Alien Race lifeforms, ultimately dying at the bottom of the valley."


    "The two of us, in a frantic escape, finally made it out."


    "Fortunately, these Alien Race lifeforms seem to reside habitually at the bottom of the valley, and when we rushed out, they didn''t follow and surge out after us."


    Toward the end,


    Tong Guan and the Martial Artists behind him all had a darkened look in their eyes.


    So far, the World within Worlds operation had already brought significant casualties to the Seven Star Civilization''s side.


    "Sigh." Li Yuan inwardly sighed, turning his head to look at Alicia and the two others, "Si Feng, Alicia, have you two entered to investigate?"


    "We haven''t had the chance yet," Alicia said somberly, "We arrived just a little before you did."


    "Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly, "What do you think?"


    "It''s very strange," Alicia frowned, "Logically, with such a large Divine Crystal vein, the Blazing Flame Family should have been able to detect it in their exploration of the World within Worlds for over a hundred years, but they never did¡­ A 500-kilometer area in the World within Worlds isn''t that vast."


    "If it was obstructed from mining by a large number of indigenous life¡­ yet the intelligence provided by the Blazing Flame Family never mentioned this aspect." Continue your adventure with empire


    "It''s as if,"


    "This Divine Crystal vein had only come into existence not long ago," Alicia reached her own conclusion.


    Li Yuan appeared thoughtful. Under normal circumstances, for a Divine Crystal vein to form, it required long ages of gestation.


    "Exactly."


    Si Feng, equally burly, spoke seriously, "Li Yuan, I suspect that the entire World within Worlds has always been shrouded in an invisible will, as if we are all under surveillance."


    "This is a divine relic site. If there is an invisible rule looming, it''s quite normal," Li Yuan mused aloud.


    The interconnected palatial complexes and other man-made traces near the entrance and exit of the passage had already said it all.


    Li Yuan was aware of this. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He believed that any Prime Warrior who spent enough time here would also have such a feeling.


    "I will go down alone to take a look, you all stay here," Li Yuan instructed.


    "Should we go down with you?" Alicia couldn''t help but ask.


    "No need," Li Yuan shook his head, "Even if I encounter some danger, escaping by myself will be much easier."


    Li Yuan asked himself.


    If the ''Alien Race lifeforms'' at the bottom of the valley couldn''t kill even an early Prime Warrior... the likelihood of them posing a threat to his life should be low.


    "Should we report upwards?" Si Feng could not help but ask.


    "You can report, but the decision is ours to make," Li Yuan said indifferently, "I''m going down."


    ```


    Phew!


    With a single movement, Li Yuan was fully enveloped in his Origin Power Battle Suit, with a layer of earthy yellow energy flowing faintly around his body.


    Boom! He followed the mountain wall, rapidly descending into the depths of the canyon.


    "Such impressive speed."


    "Is this Number 0001?" The several ordinary Prime Warriors were astounded and felt much more at ease.


    Having such a strong Prime Warrior leader, it would be much easier to take over the entire World within Worlds.


    "Level 22, can strength and speed be this powerful?" Si Feng was somewhat surprised, as he was unaware of Li Yuan''s one-time transformation to level 22 as a Prime Warrior.


    "Has he reached level 24?" Only Alicia understood everything.


    "His improvement is so rapid."


    "Alicia, I estimate his physical quality has probably reached 23.5," a childlike voice echoed in Alicia''s mind: "You need to think of a way... If you can get a Divine Crystal, it would be greatly beneficial to you."


    "No rush, just wait," Alicia responded, a hint of worry surfacing in her heart.


    She felt both admiration and gratitude toward Li Yuan.


    ...


    Whoosh! Descending swiftly along the dry canyon, Li Yuan rapidly plummeted, and the already dim light quickly turned darker.


    "It feels like I''m back in Flying Serpent Valley," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    The experience in Flying Serpent Valley was something he couldn''t easily forget.


    The deeper he went, the broader the canyon walls became and the dimmer the light grew.


    It was as if he had entered another layer of the underground world.


    "Could it be that the Blazing Flame Family truly never discovered this place?" A trace of doubt emerged in Li Yuan''s mind.


    Was there really an invisible hand constantly changing the structure of the entire World within Worlds? Or did the Blazing Flame Family have some reason to conceal certain key information?


    With Divine Sense sweeping through, Li Yuan remained vigilant, fearing an ambush.


    After descending more than three kilometers, Li Yuan finally reached the bottom of the canyon. When his feet touched the rocky ground again, he had still not encountered an attack.


    The bottom of the canyon was almost in complete darkness, ordinary people here would be as blind as bats... but with Li Yuan''s extraordinary physical quality, he could barely make out his surroundings.


    Critically, it was his powerful spiritual power that made his perception sharp to the extreme.


    "The aura of energy stones," Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and activated the three Star Meridians within his body.


    Energy stones, a type of high-energy density power stone, did not have a high value individually... but their vast number and extensive applications made them very valuable.


    Standing at the ''mining site node convergence'' Tong Guan mentioned, Li Yuan could clearly sense the air filled with the scent of Origin Power.


    "The concentration is thicker over here," Li Yuan vaguely sensed that the left side seemed denser.


    He moved forward.


    Step by step, the closer he got, the more intensely he could feel the concentration of Origin Power through his strong spiritual power.


    He was going in the right direction.


    In a blink, he had advanced nearly a kilometer, going deeper into the slanted base of the canyon, and Li Yuan also noticed another anomaly¡ªthe bottom of the canyon was very smooth.


    As if it had been polished by human hands.


    Suddenly.


    "Sss! Sss! Sss!" A series of dense and rapid sounds came from the quiet and dark canyon, followed by a faint tremor of the ground, prompting Li Yuan to stop.


    Phew! The Black Chen Spear was already in his hand.


    Rapidly.


    "Roar~" "Roar~" "Rumble~" The sounds grew louder and more pronounced from all directions.


    Finally, Li Yuan''s eyes observed in the darkness, combined with Divine Sense sweeping through... creatures resembling black rats surged from every direction, swarming over him.


    A torrential wave, an absolutely hair-raising scene.


    They, without any hesitation, charged crazily towards Li Yuan.


    "Hmm?" A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan''s eyes: "How is this possible?"


    At the moment these black creatures approached, he had already employed Divine Palace Inquiry.


    "[Target is level 15.1, no life signs, cannot be killed for Spiritual Nature nutrients]"


    "[Target is level 15.3...]" A series of prompts flashed past, with results beyond his expectations.


    No life signs?


    "So many."


    Li Yuan''s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he immediately activated the Sea of Source Energy within his body, with earthy yellow Origin Power illuminating, channeling into both the Origin Power Battle Suit and the Black Chen Spear.


    "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"


    The Long Spear swung, and with the enhancement of Origin Power, it instantly burst forth like lengths of dazzling starlight, converging like a river of stars, striking at the tide-like surge of the black creatures.


    Pshht! "Pop!" "Boom!"


    The screeching black creatures either exploded upon impact, as if striking a steel plate, or were instantly swept away like cannonballs, crashing into more of their kind.


    In the blink of an eye, at least a hundred black creatures had been slain by Li Yuan''s Long Spear.


    "Hmm?"


    "No mistake! It''s the aura of Earth Origin Crystals!" Li Yuan''s eyes tensed, keenly catching a wave of Divine Crystal aura coming from afar.


    It seemed, not too far away.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan was enveloped in endless Spear Light, himself like an indestructible miniature star, sweeping away all the black creatures as he moved towards the source of the sensation.


    ```

 Chapter 242 Hope for the Perfection of the Supreme Star Technique! Battle! (Extra 33, 34)

    These black exotic beasts had no signs of life, but they were no different from real creatures.Their appearance was similar to rats, with bodies the size of cats, and their strength generally ranged around level 15 or 16.


    The stronger ones could reach around level 18, but there were very few of such elites.


    Individually, their strength was far inferior to that of a Prime Warrior, but they had the advantage of terrifying numbers, swarming like a torrent, possibly in the thousands.


    If an ordinary Prime Warrior didn''t break out immediately, once they were encircled, they would be devoured in the blink of an eye.


    What a pity!


    They had encountered Li Yuan, and the present Li Yuan was indeed terrifyingly powerful.


    With a physical quality of 23.7 levels, combined with the True Intent Killing Move, "Star River Whirlwind," the strength he exploded with was simply horrifying.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Countless black exotic beasts collided and subsequently died in groups, blood flowing like rivers... yet they couldn''t stop Li Yuan''s advance, who moved hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.


    No one knew how many black exotic beasts died under the Black Chen Spear.


    "What a pity, these fellows have no life signs," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Otherwise, my Spiritual Awakening Level could definitely have risen to 40%."


    But it wasn''t completely fruitless.


    "Just up ahead." Li Yuan had already truly sensed it with his powerful spiritual power.


    Right up ahead!


    It was the energy fluctuation of an Earth Origin Crystal¡ªthe strange and mysterious aura, something Li Yuan would never forget in his lifetime.


    Suddenly.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan''s eyes focused, and his Long Spear danced like lightning, the spear tip bursting with cold gleam, resembling starlight bursting forth, containing terrifying might.


    He thrust straight toward what was in front of him.


    The next moment.


    "Howl~~" A piercing howl followed as a huge, nearly one meter tall black exotic beast burst forth from the multitude of beasts like lightning, brandishing its sharp claws, trying to withstand the blow from the black Long Spear.


    The two forces collided in an instant.


    At the moment of collision!


    "Roar~~" A flicker of panic crossed the eyes of the exotic beast leader, who felt a terrifying force instantly charging through its tough skin, comparable to an Origin Power Battle Suit. Although the force couldn''t tear its skin,


    more than half of that terrifying force penetrated its skin, impacting every part of its bones and flesh.


    It was as if a person was hit by a stick right in the chest. It seemed like the skin wasn''t broken, but in reality, the internal organs were all shattered... The exotic beast leader was the same, blood oozing from the corner of its mouth.


    Too terrifying.


    "Sizzle! Sizz~" The exotic beast leader, like a streak of black light, was sent flying backward, trying to flee.


    "Flee?" Li Yuan''s eyes turned cold.


    With his Divine Sense, he had already completely locked onto the exotic beast leader. His figure burst forth with no reservation, as the Vigor throughout his body fully unleashed.


    Nearly 500,000 kilograms of Explosive Power!


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s legs forcefully propelled him forward, his terrifying power causing the ground to fracture layer by layer. In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, he moved with a speed surpassing 260 meters per second.


    Find adventures on empire


    Whoosh! His Long Spear swept across, and a swath of black exotic beasts exploded into pieces.


    Turning into a sky of blood mist.


    The final spear thrust pierced the Vast Sky, like lightning stabbing through, instantly going through the body of the beast leader that was fleeing in mid-air, entering from the rear.


    Piercing the heart and exiting out the throat!


    The exotic beast leader was dead!


    In an instant.


    The vast number of black exotic beasts that were still howling and charging at Li Yuan like a tide suddenly stopped.


    "Splurt~" With a twist of the spear, Li Yuan completely crushed the internal organs of the beast leader, then withdrew his Long Spear with lightning speed. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Thump~"


    The massive body of the beast leader fell to the ground with a heavy thud, and after a brief two seconds of silence,


    in the face of their leader''s death, the thousands of black exotic beasts fled in all directions like a receding tide.


    Li Yuan did not stop them.


    Killing these black exotic beasts conferred no benefits as they weren''t even living beings... who knew what they were.


    Unable to obtain Spiritual Nutrients, why bother fighting to the death?


    You should know that despite Li Yuan''s seemingly unstoppable and violent combat, the consumption of Origin Power was also incredibly high.


    "If I can save some strength, I will. Who knows if there will be more dangers ahead," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Though very confident in his own strength, Li Yuan adhered to the idea that "caution is the parent of safety," never daring to be careless in the slightest.


    "Let''s go!"


    With the retreat of the numerous black exotic beasts, nothing could stop Li Yuan anymore... He proceeded on his way, marching several kilometers in the darkness, the path narrowing on both sides as if entering a cave.


    Complete darkness!


    Li Yuan could no longer rely on his eyes to see and had to depend on his "Divine Sense" for detection.


    The ground was still flat; by now, Li Yuan was almost certain that this gorge''s bottom was man-made.


    Finally.


    In the midst of the darkness, Li Yuan suddenly stopped. He had reached the end... Through his Divine Sense, he detected a huge stone wall in front of him.


    No! To be more precise, it was a stone gate about ten meters high.


    "Is this?" Li Yuan was shocked: "Could this so-called large vein of Divine Crystals actually be an artificial relic?"


    It was puzzling.


    Despite having reviewed many records in the Starfire Martial Hall''s database, Li Yuan, being new to the role of a Prime Warrior, still had a limited world view.


    "The aura of the Earth Origin Crystal is coming through the cracks in the stone gate," Li Yuan was astonished, "and yet, my Divine Sense cannot penetrate this stone gate?"


    Apparently impenetrable to Divine Sense despite the presence of cracks?


    This was beyond Li Yuan''s comprehension.


    "Let''s give it a try," Li Yuan said to himself. Having come this far, there was no turning back.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone gate, positioned his legs slightly bent, and then the muscles and bones throughout his body burst forth with power, muscles bulging and Origin Power erupting!

 Chapter 243 A Demigod-Level Genius? Thats All? (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

    Both sides had very little communication.Whether it was Mo Hu or Li Yuan, they had already ascertained each other''s general strength through mutual intelligence clues and knew they were the strongest members of their opposing factions.


    This battle was destined to decide the victor!


    It would also determine life or death!


    Because, whether it was Li Yuan or Mo Hu, what they represented was not just themselves but also the civilizations behind them competing for the relics of the gods.


    Boom! Boom!


    The speed of both Prime Warriors erupted to an extremely horrifying degree within a very short time.


    Mo Hu''s speed exceeded 250 meters per second, and Li Yuan''s speed also surpassed 230 meters per second.


    The terrifying speeds turned them into streaks of lightning, shaking the earth beneath them, as countless small stones were blasted into the air.


    In just a few seconds.


    The two had already closed the distance completely.


    Heading straight for a collision.


    At this moment, the many Prime Warriors following behind them couldn''t help but cast their eyes upon the two arrow-like figures.


    These Prime Warriors, even the stronger ones like Alicia, Si Feng, and Lei Wu, were very clear in their minds.


    The outcome between Li Yuan and Mo Hu was the key to this battle.


    Your journey continues with empire


    "Die, Semi Divine Level of the Seven Stars Civilization!" Mo Hu''s gaze was ice-cold as he locked onto Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    A chilling flash of saber light, accompanied by a streak of flame, instantly spanned a hundred meters of the vast sky, aiming a strike straight at Li Yuan.


    Just witnessing this scene alone was enough to send chills down the spines of Kross, Alicia, and Si Feng.


    "Too fast."


    "How can the saber be this fast without much disturbance in the air? How high must the skill level be, and how powerful the burst of strength?" Alicia''s heart tightened, "Can Li Yuan block it?"


    Boom!


    The saber light swept across the sky in an angry chop.


    "Scram!" Li Yuan''s eyes were just as cold. Without dodging, the Black Chen Spear in his hand suddenly thrust out, the shaft subtly spiraling, carrying a shocking force of distortion to collide head-on with the combat saber.


    "Peng~"


    The terrifying collision, the frightening blast of air, caused the surrounding area to burst with dust and small stones flying in all directions, with both parties hurtling backward.


    However, Li Yuan only retreated a little more than ten meters, with each step cracking the ground, leaving large pits with every footfall.


    Mo Hu, on the other hand, was blown back by twenty meters before finally dissipating the full impact of the blow, looking somewhat disheveled.


    "What?"


    "How is that possible!" Tie Mu''er and over ten other Prime Warriors felt their hearts skip a beat, somewhat in disbelief.


    In their minds, with Mo Hu''s intervention, he was supposed to overwhelmingly defeat Li Yuan.


    In such a direct clash, it wasn''t skill that was compared, but rather a pure eruption of power, yet Mo Hu was actually at a disadvantage?


    This could only mean that Li Yuan''s true strength was significantly greater than Mo Hu''s.


    "Lei Wu! What''s going on?"


    "Didn''t you say the guy you fought had Physical Quality just over level 22?" Tie Mu''er and the others couldn''t help but turn to Lei Wu, "How did you escape from him if he can put Mo Hu at a disadvantage?"


    "How would I know!"


    Lei Wu was completely baffled, "It was only half a day; how could his Physical Quality have soared this much?"


    "Could it be that he hid his strength when he first fought me?" Lei Wu thought frantically.


    ..."Your Physical Quality is this impressive?" Mo Hu was also a bit shocked and blurted out in ''Seven Stars Language''.


    He had thought that with his physical advantage, he could easily crush Li Yuan.


    "You''re not bad either," replied Li Yuan coldly, speaking in ''Immortal Ruins Civilization Common Language''.


    On their way here, Li Yuan and his group had taken the time to learn the Immortal Ruins Civilization''s common language.


    As beings at the Flying Heaven Level with souls, their learning capacity was incredibly strong, mastering at least some simple conversations wasn''t difficult.


    And through the initial ''Divine Palace Inquiry'', Li Yuan was very clear about Mo Hu''s Physical Quality¡ª23.1 level.


    It was significantly weaker than his own.


    Therefore, out of caution, Li Yuan didn''t go all out from the start, only revealing a Physical Quality of around level 23.3.


    Going all out wouldn''t guarantee a one-hit kill anyway.


    Hence, killing the adversary by revealing only part of his strength, thereby preventing the backers of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom from knowing his full power, was the optimal solution.


    "Good! Tell me your name. You''re about to die by my saber, and you deserve to know my name," Mo Hu said gravely, "I''ll tell you, my name is Mo Hu, the Semi Divine Level genius of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom."


    "The dead don''t need to know my name," Li Yuan''s voice was icy as his long spear thrust forward with a roar, swift as lightning.


    Telling the enemy his name?


    Li Yuan held no such interest; there was no need for chivalry and righteousness when dealing with an Alien Race.


    "Bastard!"


    "Just a Semi Divine Level talent from a weak civilization," grumbled Mo Hu, fully unleashing his power.


    Li Yuan''s spear was fast, but Mo Hu''s Sword Technique was even sharper and fiercer, and the two collided yet again, nearly as fast as lightning.


    Step by step, pressing hard!


    Feeling at a disadvantage in terms of Physical Quality, Mo Hu''s swordplay immediately shifted from the fierce head-on approach to become soft and continuous, entwining Li Yuan''s long spear, gaining ground inch by inch.


    Attempting to close the gap between himself and Li Yuan.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang! Clang!" The clash of their weapons rang out in rapid succession like lightning. Li Yuan kept retreating, maintaining the distance.


    Yet Mo Hu kept pressing forward.


    Despite Li Yuan possessing superior Physical Quality, Mo Hu relied on his powerful and crafty Sword Technique, seemingly still having the upper hand.


    ...Boom! Boom!


    Boom! In another area of the wilderness, Alicia, Si Feng, and the other four were already clashing with a large group of Prime Warriors led by Tie Mu''er and Lei Wu.


    "Stay with me," Alicia sought out her old adversary, with sword light flowing like water, pouring onto Lei Wu.


    She also kept unleashing Spiritual Shocks, forcing him to fight with all his might.

    The full-scale confrontation between the two camps was almost evenly matched.Although the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s team had more members, most of them were just ordinary Prime Warriors... They would find it difficult to be fully involved in such a battle of talents, where a slight misstep could mean death.


    The Seven Star Civilization''s side, on the other hand, had fewer people, but each one of them was an elite.


    "Li Yuan is being delayed, and it seems he has no advantage,"


    "Why do I feel at a disadvantage?"


    "This alien race genius is truly powerful," Kross, Bai Ya, and Xiong Ze felt a chill down their spines upon realizing this.


    If Li Yuan could win decisively, that would be for the best.


    At that point, with Li Yuan''s strength, he could easily sweep through the rest of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s team, and they all would benefit.


    "Li Yuan is not using his full strength; he hasn''t used his Spiritual Shock," Alicia thought to himself calmly, knowing just how terrifying Li Yuan''s spiritual power was.


    ...


    Boom! Boom!


    The fierce battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu indeed showed no short-term hope of victory.


    "This Mo Hu''s mastery of techniques is indeed a lot better than mine, probably around 55% of the Fifth Stage," Li Yuan realized.


    This was very close to the technique level of a Fifth Stage High Rank, which was an exaggerated level of skill for a Prime Warrior who was a First Rank life form not long ago.


    Li Yuan? He was only at 42% of the Fifth Stage technique level now.


    In terms of physical quality, Li Yuan had an absolute advantage, but he was at a disadvantage in technique, so overall Li Yuan only had a slight upper hand.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh!" Another terrifying slash of combat saber light streaked across the Vast Sky, sending Li Yuan flying backward, traveling several tens of meters before stomping heavily into the ground to stop his momentum.


    Clash after clash ensued.


    If the battle continued like this, sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan would not be able to kill the opponent.


    "I was thinking that with the advantage of my Burst Speed of the 23rd level, I could kill the opponent, but I didn''t expect a monstrous genius to appear," a thought crossed Li Yuan''s mind, followed immediately by the execution of the Spiritual Secret Technique "Soul Shock."


    The situation was critical; Bai Xing had already died in battle, and Li Yuan did not want anyone else to die.


    Besides, the Spiritual Secret Technique was something he had revealed many times before, so there was no harm in using it again now.


    Boom!


    The rolling and surging Spiritual Shock instantly assailed Mo Hu''s inner world.


    However, such a fierce spiritual attack only made Mo Hu''s body waver slightly before he instantly recovered to normal.


    Hahaha... Your Spiritual Shock is indeed formidable, definitely of the Flying Heaven Level soul," Mo Hu revealed a ferocious smile, "But I have long known you possess a Flying Heaven Level soul, and I dared to come because I am confident that your move is useless against me."


    In terms of spiritual power, Mo Hu was at the 29th level!


    He had also taken a Secret Treasure in advance, which could greatly condense his spiritual power in a short time... all to guard against Li Yuan''s Spiritual Shock.


    A Spiritual Shock, unless there is a vast gap between the two, is unlikely to have a significant impact.


    "However, your strength is indeed formidable, worthy for me to use my full strength," Mo Hu''s eyes dead set on Li Yuan.


    Boom!!


    Mo Hu''s vital aura suddenly changed, his body seemingly burning with visible flame light, and his aura became even more terrifying.


    Even Alicia, Bai Ya, and others in the distance felt the terrifying aura emanating from Mo Hu at this moment.


    He was like a primordial fierce beast.


    "Star Technique!"


    "It is a Star Technique!" Li Yuan confirmed instantly, frowning slightly, "He has only recently become a Prime Warrior, how could he have cultivated a Star Technique so quickly?"


    Star Technique cultivation is generally a slow and arduous process.


    And Prime Warriors, mostly being frail, would only cultivate one or two Star Techniques... otherwise, the outburst of a Star Technique would place an immense burden on the body, even causing it to collapse.


    But what Li Yuan did not know was that within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there were methods to rapidly cultivate a Star Technique to Minor Success.


    Many secretive methods and approaches on the path of cultivation,


    Remained unknown to Li Yuan, who was from a Fourth Level Civilization.


    Boom! With the Star Technique, Mo Hu''s strength and speed increased dramatically, even slightly surpassing Li Yuan.


    And combined with a more exquisite technique than Li Yuan?


    Booming sounds spread as the ground tore apart, chunks of earth and boulders crumbled, and Li Yuan was beaten back step by step for a while.


    Every move was perilous.


    In a very short time, Li Yuan and Mo Hu have switched between offense and defense several times, and now Li Yuan has fallen into an absolute disadvantage.


    "We''re going to win!"


    "Worthy of our Prince Mo Hu," Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu, and the others brightened up, their fighting spirit soaring as they fought desperately against Alicia, Si Feng, and the others, trying to kill them as well.


    Seeing this, Alicia, Si Feng, and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.


    The strength displayed by Mo Hu exceeded their expectations... once Li Yuan lost, they would all be left with only one way out: death.


    ```


    "Die!" Mo Hu bellowed.


    "No choice then,"


    "I had hoped to conceal some of my strength, to keep the power behind the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom guessing about my true combat power." Although Li Yuan seemed in disarray, he was acutely aware: "Well, since I can''t hide it, I might as well unleash my full power! Sweep him aside with a decisive blow."


    At that moment, the physical quality of level 23.7, enhanced by taking the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, erupted completely.


    "Whoosh!!"


    He thrust with his spear.


    Tiny streams of vigor coursed through Li Yuan''s body, his strength and speed suddenly surged, reaching a terrifying level, far surpassing what it had been before.


    "What? So fast?" Mo Hu''s face changed slightly, but he still swung his combat saber instinctively.


    "Boom~"


    Another terrifying clash ensued, a horrendous roar echoing across the vast sky. Li Yuan didn''t budge an inch, withstanding the impact completely. But from the terrifying collision, Mo Hu was sent flying backward dozens of meters.


    "How is this possible? How can your physical quality be so strong?" Mo Hu found it hard to believe.


    He thought reaching level 23 so quickly was already incredibly exaggerated.


    What about Li Yuan?


    From that last head-on strike, the impression it gave him was no less than that of a level 24 Prime Warrior.


    "You''re dead!" Li Yuan''s figure darted forward. Having chosen to erupt with full force, he showed no mercy. Combining his full burst strength, he unleashed his most powerful move¡ªStar River Whirl!


    He drew upon a vast amount of the power of heaven and earth!


    Going all out! His strongest strike!


    Why did Lei Wu think Li Yuan''s skills were so high? Because what he saw was Li Yuan using a True Intent special move!


    Yes, Li Yuan''s skill level was only at 42% of the Fifth Stage, but under the state of a True Intent special move, the terrifying force of heaven and earth he could draw upon was on par with 60% or even 70% of the Fifth Stage.


    "Whoosh!"


    A dazzling spear light swept across.


    With Li Yuan''s charge, the spear light streaked across a hundred meters of sky, fiercely hitting Mo Hu''s combat saber.


    Whoosh! It sent Mo Hu flying completely.


    He tried his best but failed to block it.


    At that moment, Mo Hu''s blood boiled, and after falling heavily to the ground, he was already injured.


    "How can this be? He! He!"


    "How can his Spear Technique suddenly become so powerful? The skill level he showed just now should have been weaker than mine." Such a terrifying move completely dazed Mo Hu: "Could it be? Could it be a True Intent special move? Impossible!"


    Several hundred meters away.


    "What?" Engaged in fierce battle with Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu and the others were also stunned.


    Mo Hu had been overwhelmingly strong just a moment ago, yet now he was on the back foot, followed by being swept away by Li Yuan''s move?


    "Good!"


    "Li Yuan! Li Yuan!" Alicia, Kross, Si Feng¡ªthey were shocked and delighted.


    Li Yuan, who was at a disadvantage just now, had suddenly burst forth to this extent.


    "Demigod-level genius? It''s nothing!"


    "Die!" Li Yuan said coldly, his figure like lightning, his Spear Technique continuous, sweeping through the sky and enveloping Mo Hu.


    He intended to kill him completely.


    "Not good!"


    "If this continues, relying on the strength of this Seven Star Civilization genius, he will definitely be able to kill me." Mo Hu realized this instantly, and like lightning, started to flee backward.


    He was running for his life.


    "You think you can escape?" Li Yuan''s eyes were cold, and he pursued like lightning.


    In terms of Burst Speed, Li Yuan''s physical quality was on a whole other level, naturally more terrifying.


    "Pff!"


    The Long Spear whooshed as it stabbed, causing Mo Hu to grit his teeth, suddenly turn around, and furiously slash with his combat saber to defend.


    "Clang!" As soon as they collided, the force contained in Li Yuan''s Long Spear transformed into a bursting energy, almost wrenching Mo Hu''s combat saber from his grasp, shaking his grip, and sending him reeling back once again.


    Clang

 Chapter 244 I Said It Was Taboo but You Wouldnt Listen! The Death of Mo Hu (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    ```Mo Hu had no choice; fleeing in any other direction would only lead to a quicker death, given the physical qualities that Li Yuan had displayed.


    "Trying to break into the Relic Divine Palace?" Li Yuan unleashed his full combat power, his legs suddenly exploding with force, and in one leap, he charged toward Mo Hu, pursuing him fiercely.


    Boom! An invisible fluctuation swept through, a spiritual shock spread out, causing Mo Hu''s form to be slightly affected once again.


    "Hmm, my spiritual shock, although it can''t completely incapacitate him, it can still slightly affect his strength each time." Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold.


    Able to affect even a little of his strength was very important at critical moments.


    That his opponent could withstand his spiritual shock did not surprise Li Yuan too much. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After all, Li Yuan had already revealed his Flying Heaven level soul techniques earlier; if Mo Hu did not have a certain confidence to withstand it, why would he dare to come?


    Moreover, Li Yuan clearly remembered that his teacher Li Yang back then, when he was at level 29 of spiritual power, had withstood his spiritual shock... From that moment, Li Yuan understood that spiritual power was never the key in a life-or-death battle between the strong.


    The main use of spiritual power was always auxiliary cultivation, sensory inquiry, and the like.


    Not frontal combat.


    The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the willpower, the faster the cultivation speed would be.


    But the world is real, and to commandeer great physical strength, one must have an extremely strong soul and tough will... Pure soul and willpower are not that useful.


    Can the spirit interfere with reality? Extremely difficult!


    That is why, like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Dean Hai, they paid close attention to Li Yuan''s skill level, spiritual power, willpower, and the like, and cared even more about his innate Star Meridian, but they almost never asked Li Yuan to train in spiritual secret techniques.


    Dean Hai only asked Li Yuan to practice ''defensive mental mystic techniques,'' simply being able to defend was enough.


    Because, these powerful beings all understood, in the true clashes of the same realm, the role of the spiritual secret technique was very small.


    For Li Yuan to be able to use spiritual shock to slightly affect his opponent''s strength was already very rare.


    As for helping the others like Alicia, Kres with spiritual secret techniques?


    The positions where they were fiercely battling were at least several hundred meters away from Li Yuan''s nearest point, and Li Yuan''s divine sense range was only just over a hundred meters, so he couldn''t sense that far. (Divine sense range = spiritual attack range, as previously established in the text)


    "Clang!"" Clang!"


    The repeated clashing of weapons.


    The two exchanged blows like flashes of lightning; Li Yuan''s Spear Technique had completely changed, no longer seeking the absolute power of grand swings but instead, like a whirlpool, frantically entangled Mo Hu''s combat saber, significantly slowing his attempt to flee.


    "How could his Spear Technique be so difficult to contend with?" Mo Hu grew increasingly alarmed as they fought.


    Whenever their weapons collided, Mo Hu could feel a mysterious pull within Li Yuan''s Spear Technique.


    It was as if he was being completely devoured, extremely difficult to deal with.


    To this point.


    With Mo Hu''s perspective, he could now fully confirm that what Li Yuan was using was a ''True Intent move''.


    "It''s merely a Fifth Stage intermediate rank skill, his actual proficiency should be much lower than mine, so how could he comprehend a True Intent move?" Panic took hold of Mo Hu.


    Even among the peers of his level from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom that he knew, none could achieve this.


    How could a Fourth Level Civilization give rise to such a terrifying genius?


    Boom!


    After successive chases, with only a dozen exchanges, Li Yuan had already seized the opportunity. Using his greater Burst Speed, he abruptly moved ahead of Mo Hu.


    Effectively blocking his path.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Rushing water sounds~" Li Yuan''s Long Spear in hand roared, instantly blossoming like a tide, resembling the explosion of countless stars, blocking Mo Hu''s path head-on.


    "Rumbling~" A series of collisions ensued, and Mo Hu was like an insect caught in a spider''s web, his speed directly reduced by over ninety percent, completely hindered by Li Yuan.


    "Kill!" Mo Hu gnashed his teeth and roared, desperately stimulating the rotation of the Star Meridian within his body.


    "Whoosh!"


    Li Yuan did not bother to exchange words with him any further; his Spear Light surged like a flood, entangling him tightly, preventing him from breaking into the Relic Divine Palace.


    The True Intent move ''Galaxy River Whirl'' was not particularly adept at killing opponents, but whether for defense or frontal interception and binding of the enemy, its might was extremely terrifying.


    Coupled with Li Yuan''s already superior physical quality and repeated spiritual shocks,


    Mo Hu''s body was continually injured.


    As for Li Yuan? In reality, such an intense clash would also inflict certain injuries on him, but he had long since taken medicine from his Storage Treasure with a mere thought.


    His injuries were rapidly healing.


    In an instant.


    The two battled and rushed over a thousand meters, exchanging over a hundred blows, drawing ever closer to the entrance of the Relic Divine Palace.


    But Mo Hu was feeling death approaching; his body was frequently damaged, his injuries deepening, and defending against Li Yuan''s attacks was increasingly difficult.


    Mo Hu''s heart was filled with unwillingness.


    He regarded himself as a Semi-Divine level genius, and having brought valuable treasures, he came with the thought of ''easily winning to get the reward''... but the opponent was strength was far more than reported in the intelligence.


    Erroneous intelligence leads to death.


    "Seven Stars people, let me go! Let me go!" Mo Hu roared and howled as he struggled to resist, "Otherwise, we''ll both die together."


    Awaiting him.


    Boom!


    Was yet another fierce spear shadow; Li Yuan had no intention of wasting any more words with him but remained vigilant in his heart.


    A mutual destruction?


    Did this Immortal Ruins Civilization''s Semi-Divine level genius have some hidden trick up his sleeve?


    Thwack~


    One spear thrust passed, thoroughly piercing Mo Hu''s Sword Technique defense, cutting through his Origin Power Battle Suit, with copious amounts of blood spraying... his left arm was thrown flying into the air.


    With at most two more strikes, Li Yuan believed he could finish him off.


    Just at that moment.


    "Hmm? What is that?" Li Yuan''s pupils dilated, for in the instant that Mo Hu''s left arm broke off and was thrown away, he let go of the combat saber in his right hand, and immediately after, his Origin Power Battle Suit surged, delivering a piece of technology directly into the palm of his hand.


    ```

 Chapter 244 I Said It Was Taboo but You Wouldnt Listen! The Death of Mo Hu (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    This technological product was entirely black, and at first glance, somewhat resembled a handgun, but it was much larger overall with a longer barrel!A gunpowder weapon?


    No! With his strong spiritual power, Li Yuan instantly sensed the ''Origin Power fluctuation'' emanating from this pistol-like weapon, and the fluctuation was extremely intense.


    An Origin Power Weapon!!


    Moreover, it was a highly rare single-unit Origin Power Weapon within the Seven Star human civilization, a domain that Seven Star technology had yet to touch.


    In an instant.


    Seeing the dark muzzle pointed his way, Li Yuan felt his hairs stand on end!


    It was as if, in the next moment, he would be dead.


    The fact that Mo Hu would forsake his combat saber to use this indicated that it was an Origin Power Weapon with terrifying might.


    Li Yuan knew little about Origin Power technological weapons... He couldn''t judge its level.


    If it was ordinary firearm bullets, hitting Li Yuan who was protected by an Origin Power Battle Suit, it would merely be scratching an itch.


    But an Origin Power Weapon? Its might was entirely different.


    "Retreat?"


    "No! Kill him!" In the split second of life and death, Li Yuan didn''t falter, but instead lunged forward with a Straight Thrust targeting the opponent''s head.


    If he retreated, he couldn''t avoid the shot anyway.


    To fight desperately, even if it meant death, was the instinctual choice Li Yuan made in that life-and-death situation.


    "Whoosh!" The Black Chen Spear cut through the Vast Sky, its power boundless.


    "Boom~"


    Mo Hu had already pulled the trigger like lightning, his eyes equally crazed, staring intently at Li Yuan... In death, he would take the other down with him.


    In that instant, both of the top talents harbored the same thought!!


    Li Yuan''s Long Spear was fast.


    But the Origin Power Weapon fired even faster.


    "Bang!" A dazzling purple beam of light burst from the barrel in an instant, its speed so fast it far surpassed the Electromagnetic Cannons within Seven Star Civilization... so fast that Li Yuan had no time to react.


    That beam of light, about to strike Li Yuan''s arm, allowed him to sense the terrifying might contained within this beam of Origin Power.


    Death was closing in.


    "Am I going to die here?" The thought couldn''t help but emerge in Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Die! Die!" Mo Hu stared intently at Li Yuan.


    But then!


    Just when that beam was about to touch Li Yuan''s body, suddenly, everything around the two of them fell silent.


    The wind stopped!


    The countless grains of sand, stirred up by the fierce battle, froze mid-air.


    The beam, about to touch Li Yuan''s arm, halted.


    Li Yuan''s Long Spear stopped.


    The smile on Mo Hu''s face also stopped.


    The air itself stopped vibrating... Everything within a hundred meters of their battle lay in complete silence.


    At this moment, it was as if spacetime stood still.


    But Li Yuan and Mo Hu''s consciousnesses were crystal clear; they could still think, which made them realize time had not stopped... space had been immobilized.


    "This?" Li Yuan was shocked, his Flying Heaven Level spiritual power allowing him to perceive clearly.


    Just now, in that instant, an invisible force had enveloped them, an incomparable force.


    It didn''t just simply overshadow him; it was¡ªcontrol! Absolute control!


    It controlled this space, rendering both him and Mo Hu immobile.


    Even the flow of Origin Power in their bodies nearly came to a standstill in that instant.


    "What is this power? Is it the force behind the World within Worlds?" The only thing Li Yuan could still move, his thoughts, rapidly flashed through many possibilities.


    Next instant.


    "Hm?" A scene that made Li Yuan''s heart tremble with shock appeared.


    Whoosh~


    Silently, the previously smiling ''Mo Hu'' suddenly began to disintegrate from head to toe, his body crumbling, turning to ash layer by layer.


    Dead!


    At the same time, Li Yuan saw that the ''Origin Power Beam'' fired by the Origin Power Weapon, like Mo Hu''s body, also disintegrated layer by layer into ashes.


    "I said no technology weapons, why won''t you listen." A faint thread of thought swept through the space.


    It was as if talking to oneself.


    Yet it was instantly captured by Li Yuan''s strong spiritual power, and he had a faint feeling... that he had been observed by a mysterious existence.


    It was the other party who had taken action, directly killing Mo Hu, and resolving his own crisis.


    Connecting this statement,


    Li Yuan immediately thought of the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, which repeatedly mentioned: Never use technology weapons, it is taboo.


    Therefore, like Li Yuan, Alicia and the others, they didn''t have any technology weapons.


    All were using cold weapons to fight.


    But it wasn''t until this moment that Li Yuan truly understood the meaning of that sentence, feeling both relieved and somewhat frightened.


    "There are indeed great secrets behind this World within Worlds, definitely unseen rules in operation," Li Yuan thought.


    Evidence confirmed!


    Although describing it seems slow, from the moment Mo Hu pulled the trigger to that invisible force arriving sweeping everything away... only less than 0.3 seconds had passed!


    Hum~ The mysterious force had silently dissipated.


    Whoosh!


    The long spear in Li Yuan''s hand whistled through the air but only met emptiness, catching only the Origin Power Battle Suit left behind by Mo Hu. Experience more tales on empire


    Clang~ Rocks agitated by the remnants of the battle shockwave continued to shoot towards the distance along their original path.


    Hu! A pistol-like Origin Power Weapon directly fell to the ground.


    ...


    "Prince Mo Hu is dead?"


    "This!" Tie Mu''er, Lei Wu, and the others had actually started to flee for their lives long ago, some even managing to cover a good distance, but they kept watching the battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu.


    When they saw Mo Hu take out an Origin Power Weapon, hope kindled in the hearts of people like Lei Wu and Tie Mu''er.


    But the next moment,


    they watched with their own eyes as Mo Hu''s body disintegrated into ashes, all of them were stupefied, and although most sensed something was off, it didn''t affect the outcome of the battle.


    The result was¡ªLi Yuan had won! Mo Hu was dead!


    "Dead?"


    "Li Yuan won! He didn''t let him escape? Good!"


    "Li Yuan has killed Mo Hu," Kross, Alicia, and the others also witnessed the scene, their hearts instantly surging with excitement.


    They had won!


    This fearsome enemy from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had died in the confrontation with Li Yuan!


    Although Mo Hu''s death seemed somewhat strange, it didn''t change their conclusion¡ªLi Yuan had killed Mo Hu.


    ...


    "Phew!"


    In the instant Li Yuan''s spear hit nothing, he flipped his palm and swiftly gathered all the remaining belongings of Mo Hu that had not fully fallen to the ground. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "That was close."


    "Didn''t get the Spiritual Nature nourishment," Li Yuan moved swiftly, lightning-fast as he pounced on the group of fleeing Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom: "Time to start with you."


    "There are about ten or so, should be enough to reach 40%."


    ...


    Time passed.


    Under Li Yuan''s full power, Lei Wu, Tie Mu''er, and the other dozen Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom... none could withstand a single blow!


    And with the all-out entanglement of Kross, Si Feng, and Alicia,


    In just a few minutes, Li Yuan had exterminated them all.


    And Lei Wu, who had the misfortune of fleeing the fastest and farthest, was the first to shake off Alicia, but this time Li Yuan did not give up, pursuing for over ten kilometers.


    He caught up and killed him.


    By that time, Alicia and the others hadn''t even caught up.


    "You guys clean up the battlefield, don''t mind me, don''t come close," Li Yuan quickly packed up the foe''s leftover spoils of war, and sent a message to Alicia.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan darted away into the distance like a bolt of lightning.


    Because, after this frantic slaughter of a group of Prime Warriors, Li Yuan''s Spiritual Awakening Level finally reached 40%!!


    He had received the prompt from the Divine Palace, his fourth Origin Power infusion was imminent.

 Chapter 245 Strength Transformation! The Fourth Star Meridian! (Extra 35)

    "Where is Li Yuan going?""Didn''t we kill all the enemies?"


    "Not sure." Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Bai Ya all gathered around, watching Li Yuan flying off into the distance with curiosity and puzzlement.


    "Stop asking."


    Alicia said in a low voice, "You all saw Li Yuan''s strength just now, far above us... even a Semi Divine Level genius of the Immortal Ruins Civilization died by his hand."


    "And the defeat was decisive."


    "Since he suddenly left, there must be a reason, why ask more." Alicia''s gaze swept over the others, "The situation is initially settled, we just need to do our own business."


    "Understood."


    "Yeah, let''s clean up the battlefield quickly." Si Feng and Kross all nodded without hesitation.


    After a series of great battles, except for the deceased Bai Xing, the rest were vaguely divided into the strong and the weak.


    Strength determines status.


    Li Yuan, of course, was the undisputed top, so when he issued an order, everyone would follow.


    The victories brought about by strong power naturally convinced people.


    The one second only to Li Yuan was Alicia.


    "After cleaning up the battlefield, take charge of different groups of people and continue to clean up and explore the entire World within Worlds." Alicia said, "No objections, right?"


    "No objections."


    "Let''s start cleaning." Xiong Ze and Kross declared.


    "What about the Relic Divine Palace?" Si Feng raised a question.


    He pointed to the continuous palace complex shrouded in a mysterious glow in the distance, and the others couldn''t help but look at Alicia.


    "No need to rush."


    "We are tasked with protecting Lin Lanyue, but since she is in the Relic Divine Palace... we can''t save her even if we wanted to, rashly entering would only put ourselves in danger." Alicia mused, "Now we have basically cleared the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s team, since even their Semi Divine Level genius is dead, they should find it difficult to fight again."


    "Thus, as long as Lin Lanyue can come out alive, she won''t encounter the ambush from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom like before."


    All nodded in agreement.


    Save Lin Lanyue? In fact, once it was confirmed that Lin Lanyue was truly in the Relic Divine Palace, others, including Li Yuan, would find it hard to help her.


    This fact was clear to the higher-ups of the alliance and the Blazing Flame Family.


    The so-called saving was actually, if she could come out alive from the Relic Divine Palace, to protect her from being killed by the powerhouses of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    But whether she could come back alive depended on her.


    "Furthermore."


    "This Relic Divine Palace contains major secrets, I know you all have your plans." Alicia''s gaze swept over everyone, "The opportunities contained within the Divine relics are indeed unpredictable... everyone wants it."


    "But we''ve been in the World within Worlds for less than two days, the situation is not yet stable, and the Relic Divine Palace is fraught with dangers... My personal suggestion is to wait for Li Yuan to return, and make sure there are no strong warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom within the World within Worlds, then we can discuss how to tackle it." Alicia said.


    "Yeah, that sounds reasonable."


    "No need to rush, according to information from the Blazing Flame Family, we should be able to stay in the World within Worlds for a year... it''s only been two days." The rest nodded in agreement.


    Soon, several Prime Warrior geniuses dispersed.


    They began to get busy.


    "Alicia, should we really wait for Li Yuan to come back? We could totally try to break into the ruins first." A childish voice echoed in Alicia''s mind, "The Five Elements Divine Crystals from the veins, you get none, and Li Yuan hasn''t revealed any bit of information till now."


    "If Li Yuan takes away all the inheritance from these ruins, our efforts will have been for nothing."


    "Are you confident?" Alicia responded.


    "I am confident!!" The childlike voice raised its pitch by three notches, a hint of excitement in the tone, "I sensed it just now, clearly... the force that annihilated that Semi Divine Level genius ''Mo Hu'' was the power of the world, indicating that the essence of the World within Worlds is still operational."

    "It means that the rules set by that deity are still in existence."


    "And looking at the various rules in the World within Worlds... this place was probably a training ground for the deity''s descendants in the past, and there should be an inheritance left behind." The childlike voice stated assertively, "I am ninety-nine percent sure."


    "I''m not asking if there''s an inheritance. Anyone could guess the Relic Divine Palace holds treasures, not to mention, the rise of the Blazing Flame Family''s original ancestor ''Demigod of Flame City'' was certainly related to this World within Worlds." Alicia frowned, responding, "I''m asking if you are absolutely confident that you can obtain the inheritance?"


    The childlike voice instantly lost its spark.


    Absolute confidence in obtaining the inheritance? He had none.


    But in his view, since they had to compete, they should strive to be a step ahead, to seize the initiative.


    "Then what''s your plan?" the childlike voice asked.


    "No hurry." Alicia shook her head, "Since generation after generation of the Blazing Flame Family have been able to break through and benefit... it probably wouldn''t hurt for us to enter later."


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Bursting forth with all his might, Li Yuan sprinted away, covering over thirty kilometers in just a few minutes.


    He made sure to leave Alicia, Si Feng, and the others far behind, with no one following.


    Li Yuan then returned directly to the edge of the canyon at the core of the vein.


    But he did not disturb Tong Guan and the others.


    Instead, he found a secluded spot at the end of the canyon and directly entered.


    He stopped at an inconspicuous indent in the mountain wall, hardly noticeable, and then settled down cross-legged.


    "Let''s begin." Li Yuan focused and calmed his mind, his thoughts moved, and he completely released the suppression over the Sea of Source Energy and the three Star Meridians.


    Hum~


    At that moment, Li Yuan''s powerful spiritual power allowed him to clearly sense that from the second floor of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, a continuous flow of golden mist was cascading down, this golden mist settling upon the first floor''s ground inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Once merged into the ground. Explore hidden tales at empire


    Hiss~ Hiss~ Li Yuan could clearly sense that a stream of bizarre power was penetrating every part of his body from his head, this bizarre power being the key to transforming his Physical Quality and spiritual power every time.

 Chapter 245 Strength Transformation! The Fourth Star Meridian! (Extra 35)_2

    ```plaintext"Most likely, every time I kill a member of an alien race, the spiritual nourishment I accumulate is these strange powers," Li Yuan thought.


    Treasures that can rapidly and gently enhance both the body and spiritual power simultaneously are extremely rare and seldom seen.


    They involve the evolution of life.


    Origin Power infusion... to Li Yuan, it felt like the improvement to his physical quality was on par with many wondrous treasures.


    Moreover, most wondrous treasures could only be consumed once, and their effectiveness decreased with subsequent uses.


    But the effect of Origin Power infusion seemed to become more exaggerated with each use.


    "After the fourth infusion of Origin Power, I wonder how effective it will be," Li Yuan thought expectantly, "I don''t know if I''ll be able to break through to level 25."


    If he could advance from level 23.7 to 25, his basic fist strength would increase by over 60,000 kilograms.


    "Booming sound~" Li Yuan''s three star meridians operated simultaneously, and the surging, pure Origin Power coursed into a part of his body''s muscles and blood.


    The next moment.


    After merging with the golden mist that transformed into strange energy, the numerous cells in Li Yuan''s body, which had already been ''satiated,'' seemed to break free from some invisible shackles, suddenly becoming extremely ''hungry,'' and began to crazily absorb Origin Power.


    Booming sound~


    Li Yuan felt his whole body beginning to tremble wildly, flesh, skin, and hair, bones, periosteum, internal organs... all started to undergo continuous transformation.


    This was a comprehensive evolution and upgrade.


    "However, it''s not as comfortable as the Myriad Life Extension Fruit," Li Yuan mused, "The transformation brought by the Myriad Life Extension Fruit is quite pleasant."


    In contrast, Origin Power infusion was extremely domineering, causing the muscles and bones to reorganize, which was actually quite painful, but Li Yuan''s spiritual power and willpower were strong enough to easily endure it.


    "[Your life level has increased from 23.7 to 23.8]"


    "[Your strength, from...]" Time passed, as Li Yuan''s life level continued to rise, alerts flashed across the Divine Palace panel.


    "...spiritual power." Most of Li Yuan''s consciousness focused on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and his consciousness came to the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Rustling~


    In the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan''s conscious body ''watched'' the golden mist continually being generated in the palace''s void.


    "Last time during the Origin Power infusion, I guessed that some essence of them turned into spiritual nourishment; otherwise, I can''t explain why the effects of Origin Power infusion are growing stronger each time," Li Yuan pondered privately, "It''s a pity that it is still just speculation, not yet verified."


    But Li Yuan believed that as he grew stronger, he would eventually unlock all the secrets.


    "Continue to enhance spiritual power." As soon as Li Yuan''s conscious body willed it, a portion of the vast amount of golden mist born in the void of the palace separated.


    It directly merged into Li Yuan''s conscious body.


    Booming sound~ The strands of golden mist seemed to have an invisible magic power, making Li Yuan''s consciousness feel groggy. In an instant, his conscious body wobbled and found itself in the Starry Sky Life Level space, already glowing dimly.


    Three indistinct star belts, one quite bright, the other two immensely faint, interspersed against the endless night sky... were the three star meridians that Li Yuan had awakened.


    Their existence added much vitality to the originally dark Life Star space.


    Rustling~


    Strands of strange starlight, transformed from the golden mist, ''shined'' from the depths of the Life Star space, starting to nourish Li Yuan''s mental consciousness.


    After a long time.


    "[Your soul has been nourished, your spiritual power has increased from 31.8 to 31.9]" Clearly, after reaching the Flying Heaven level, each increase in spiritual power was extremely difficult.

    Overall, though,


    Li Yuan''s physical quality and spiritual power were growing at a terrifying pace, absolutely top-notch among the many geniuses of various civilizations.


    "Life Star space."


    "Awaken the Life Star." As Li Yuan felt his spiritual power and physical quality continuously transform, and considering it had been several days since he last awakened a Life Star, his mind moved, and he immediately concentrated, attempting to imprint more ''Life Stars.''


    The path of Law Creation must continue.


    ```


    You can''t just rely on spiritual guidance.


    After all, my current level of spiritual awakening has only reached 40%, still far from the required 50% for the next guidance... I have no idea when I''ll be able to unlock the limit.


    "Hmm?"


    Li Yuan''s consciousness slightly expanded and immediately noticed the changes in the countless ''life stars'' within the starry space of life.


    "In these past few days, the transformation of my physical quality seems to have nourished the life stars, making numerous life stars grow stronger," Li Yuan rejoiced internally, "As the life stars strengthen, my spiritual power perception will become easier too."


    At this moment, Li Yuan had come to understand why many classics mention that a large number of top-grade prime warriors were able to awaken four or five star meridians.


    It''s about the foundation!


    "With stronger spiritual power, the perception of the body and the fluctuations of the heavens and the earth will be clearer, ensuring that a flying heaven level soul could definitely reach fifth stage skills," Li Yuan mused, "Similarly, the increase in physical quality is also the foundation for the awakening of life stars."


    "The stronger the body, the stronger the life stars, the clearer the perception... the higher the hopes of awakening a life star."


    Hum~ Hum~


    While receiving origin power into his body, Li Yuan used his spiritual awareness to sense the life stars, searching for traces of the life star.


    For a moment, his efficiency in awakening life stars was more than ten times that of the past.


    ...


    Before he realized it, nearly two hours passed, and Li Yuan''s fourth session of absorbing origin power was not yet over.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Hum~ Almost simultaneously, two invisible fluctuations erupted from Li Yuan as the core, his body subtly trembling.


    Whoosh~ Visible to the naked eye, tens of thousands of light points appeared on Li Yuan''s body surface, converging into threads, channeling into the sea of source energy in his abdomen... another star meridian was awakened.


    "The fourth star meridian has awakened?" Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling quite delighted, "Moreover, the second star meridian has successfully transformed from the first layer to the second layer."


    This was a breakthrough achieved in an extremely short amount of time.


    While the quantity of star meridians is important, their quality is equally crucial.


    "Foundation!"


    "Hmm, my physical quality is now at level 24.3," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, "The stronger the foundation, the faster I will awaken life stars."


    Li Yuan was very patient.


    This step-by-step process of feeling one''s body and soul transform and strengthen, despite being somewhat painful, could also bring heartfelt joy.


    ...


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, known as the most powerful among human Seven Star Civilizations, is vast and mighty... Yet the whole civilization isn''t monolithic but divided into many divine kingdoms and sects.


    In the multitude of divine kingdoms and sects within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is an inconspicuous one.


    While Li Yuan was in seclusion, strengthening and transforming his abilities.


    The deaths of Mo Hu, Lei Wu, and others eventually reached Mintian City in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    This place is the core territory of Lord Mintian Hou.


    Above the city, numerous flying vehicles come and go, along with floating super-large starry sky warships... The city is bustling with prosperity.


    And on the east side of the city, within a complex of special high-rise buildings.


    In an ultra-large conference room.


    Your next chapter awaits on empire


    "A bunch of useless trash!!"


    "Useless," an enraged voice echoed throughout the conference room, "So many people dead, nearly a complete massacre, and even Mo Hu is dead."


    "And what, you tell me you don''t even know who killed Mo Hu."


    "Seven Stars human? Of course I know the killer is a Seven Stars human! As if it could be an Eight Stars being!"

 Chapter 246 Mintian Hous Rage! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)

    The oversized conference room was silent.Dozens of people stood respectfully there, each with their heads bowed, silent as cicadas in winter, listening to the roar of the tall figure at the end of the room, not daring to make any sound.


    At the end of the conference room.


    There sat a burly figure clad in purple armor, like a War God, who, even while sitting, was close to two meters tall, especially those eyes, which glowed blood-red, making people tremble.


    However, what was most unique was the dark red horn on top of his head, sharp as if to pierce the heavens, making his aura even more domineering.


    That was Mintian Hou.


    The ruler of over a hundred million citizens of Mintian City, whose single command could result in the beheadings of thousands.


    He was also truly at the top of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s ruling hierarchy, his power overwhelming.


    The system of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was completely different from that of the Seven Star human civilization.


    The latter, even for commoners, had certain rights... by law, even the powerful Demigods could not massacre commoners at will, the entire civilization was relatively tranquil overall.


    But in Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it was a mishmash of many races, fairly chaotic.


    Demigods towered above, with astonishing power, possessing the real authority of life and death over most of their subordinate territories, wanton slaughter was a minor matter.


    Unless!


    You revealed extremely high value¡ªlike certain research personnel of amazing worth, or those with astonishing Martial Path talents.


    Like ''Mo Hu''!


    "With my domain being only so large, is it easy to give birth to a Semi-Divine Level Genius?" Mintian Hou was extremely angry when he first received the news of Mo Hu''s death.


    Once deemed a Semi-Divine Level Genius, they were to be beyond his control.


    To persuade Mo Hu to come, he had used a mix of coercion and inducement.


    All for the sake of contending for the treasures of World within Worlds.


    Now that Mo Hu was dead, it would not have much impact on him, but it would certainly incite other Demigod elders of the Divine Kingdom to challenge and question him.


    "Investigate!"


    "Based on the last messages sent back by Mo Hu, Tie Mu''er, and Lei Wu before their deaths, find a way for me to investigate," Mintian Hou''s voice was icy, "Find out exactly who that genius from Seven Star Civilization is."


    "If necessary, contact Tianliang Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, they have the deepest infiltration into Seven Star Civilization, and they must have many detailed reports."


    Discover exclusive tales at empire


    "I do not wish to summon you next time and still be met with an ''I don''t know,''" Mintian Hou''s cold gaze swept over several figures.


    "Understood," several heads of the External Surveillance Department bowed their heads.


    They understood that if they managed to investigate clearly, there would still be room for recovery... but if they failed to investigate, dismissal was the lightest consequence.


    Quickly, several heads of the External Surveillance Department left.


    "What do you think, do you have any better ideas regarding this World within Worlds?" Mintian Hou said indifferently.


    The bowed heads looked at each other.


    Several seconds later.


    "My lord, since Prince Mo Hu died, it was because his strength wasn''t strong enough. Why don''t we invite a ''Divine Child Level Genius'' from the Divine Kingdom..." a man in red robes cautiously began. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Pong~"


    With a sweep of Mintian Hou''s hand, an invisible force cut through the air, harshly slapping the man in the red robes and sending him flying before he crashed onto the ground.


    "A Divine Child Level Genius?"


    "How many Divine Child Level Geniuses are there in the entire Divine Kingdom?" Mintian Hou snorted coldly, "Those who are still First Rank... not a single one. If we were to invite one, would I have to go to other Divine Kingdoms to ask?"


    "What price would we have to pay?"


    Everyone kept silent.


    A Semi-Divine Level Genius merely meant that they had the potential for demigodhood. The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom often produced several such individuals each year... the actual total number was not small.


    But a Divine Child Level Genius? That was recognized as a top-tier talent who, if allowed to grow, was certain to become a Demigod. It might take many years for the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to give rise to just one.


    What could they do?


    All these department heads were contemplating.


    Suddenly.


    "My lord, from the current situation, it seems that the Seven Star Civilization must have sent a terrifying genius. Direct contention in World within Worlds is extremely difficult," a black-robed figure said in a low voice, "but we can totally take a different approach."


    "Speak," Mintian Hou looked toward the black-robed figure.


    "According to the rules we have ascertained, Second Rank Life Forms probably cannot stay in World within Worlds for long," the black-robed figure said, "We don''t need to fight over temporary control, we just need to delay for some time, wait for that terrifying genius to leave... "


    "Foolish!"


    Mintian Hou shook his head, "In the past, the ones in control of this divine relic were just a Demigod family from Seven Star Civilization, they had limited resources, and the talents they dispatched had their limits... but now in charge is the sovereign of Seven Star Civilization, the resources they can mobilize are beyond your imagination."


    "If we give them time, they might completely discover and guard every exit."


    "At that time, even if we do invite a Semi-Divine Level Genius... just having stepped into 19th level, they might directly encounter a swarm of Prime Warriors."


    "The most important point."


    "Seven Star Civilization, next, will certainly continue to send their civilization''s top geniuses into the Divine Palace ruins, maybe they will gain all the treasures at any time," Mintian Hou said coldly, "We must compete, we cannot delay."


    Mintian Hou saw things very clearly.


    But those under him were now plagued with a headache, unable to invite a Divine Child Level Genius, yet still needing to compete? Wasn''t that simply sending themselves to death?


    "My lord, then let''s compete from the outside," another voice suggested, "Rather than fighting internally, it''s better to directly break the Seven Star Civilization''s War Fortress in the Fierce Feather Star Realm."

 Chapter 246 Mintian Hous Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_2

    "Take over their channel directly.""By then, once we control both channels, everything will be in our hands," the speaker was a woman dressed in purple robes. "But this plan isn''t just about a contest of geniuses... it''s about waging a full-scale war with the entire Seven Star Civilization."


    "I''m afraid that our fiefdom''s power alone might find it difficult to prevail," the woman in purple robes said respectfully.


    "A full-scale war?" Mintian Hou fell deep into thought, a hint of hesitation flashing through his mind.


    If only his forces were involved in the struggle, then should they win, they would reap all the benefits.


    Once other demigods from the Divine Kingdom were brought into the fold, even the entire upper echelons, the forces that could be mobilized would certainly be much stronger, but the benefits he could obtain... would also be substantially reduced.


    After a long period of contemplation.


    "Go, call for Jin Heng," Mintian Hou suddenly spoke.


    With those words, everyone present understood Mintian Hou''s thoughts¡ªfull-scale warfare.


    Because Jin Heng was the most powerful Prime Warrior under Mintian Hou''s command, with a grand reputation.


    Shortly after. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    All left the conference room, leaving Mintian Hou sitting there alone.


    He had already contacted several demigod friends.


    "Four demigods mobilizing their forces, giving their all."


    "Gathering a group of powerful Prime Warriors, even directly advancing to the Flying Heaven Level in the Fierce Feather Star Realm to unleash the strongest combat power," Mintian Hou tapped on the armrest, the crisp sound of his fingertips hitting the armrest echoing in the conference room as he silently pondered, "That should be enough."


    "The Seven Star Civilization?"


    "A treasure so vast within the dimensional plane, located above so many converging dimensional nodes, which civilization wouldn''t desire to invade it?"


    "Dongfang Ji is indeed formidable, but he has been in a standoff with the Myriad Demons Civilization for a long time... It''s impossible for him to deploy his civilization''s entire strength to compete with me," Mintian Hou was convinced of one thing.


    He knew how terrifying Dongfang Ji was, and the true foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But because he understood, he dared to compete.


    "If we go to full-scale war and fail."


    "At worst, I''ll report up to the clan," a hint of coldness flashed in Mintian Hou''s eyes.


    He hailed from a terrifyingly powerful clan within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with profound backing. That was why he could act so unbridled within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Boom!


    Mintian Hou stood up, his body clad in purple combat armor. Thin strands of purple flames flickered and burned, emitting an aura of extreme terror.


    "The Path of Law."


    "The legacy of a Fire System Divine, containing treasures that might allow me to truly take that step toward becoming a god," Mintian Hou''s eyes filled with endless longing.


    The relics left by a Fire System Divine were worth all his gambles.


    If he could obtain them, then he wouldn''t hesitate to sacrifice the hundreds of millions of subjects in his fiefdom.


    ...


    When Mintian Hou of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom made his choice.


    The news about the battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu had also reached the warbase in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    "The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom actually sent a Semi Divine Level genius?" When Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others received this news, they were all startled.


    Then came the news that both shocked and thrilled them.


    "Won?"


    "The Semi Divine Level genius Mo Hu? Killed outright by Li Yuan, and didn''t even have a chance to flee to the Relic Divine Palace?" Abbott and Wu Manong were somewhat stunned. Read new adventures at empire


    The four of them, who were dispatched here, were capable of fighting beyond their level against Flying Heaven Warriors. They had high status and a broad view; facing the Immortal Ruins Civilization, they naturally had a grasp of the many systems within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    They understood the significance of a Semi Divine Level genius.


    "At First Rank, we might have had no chance of winning."


    "Yes, in terms of talent, we may not be weaker than the ''Semi Divine Level genius'' sent by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, but they can mobilize more resources... If we were in Li Yuan''s place, we wouldn''t compare," Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe expressed their admiration with sighs.


    Even Yu Jinghe and Wu Manong, who had long known the details about Li Yuan, grew even more admiring of him.


    It''s one thing to be highly talented; it''s another to play it to the fullest.


    How long had Li Yuan been practicing? Yet he had managed to face and kill a Semi Divine Level genius from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom directly.


    "The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s choice of a Semi Divine Level genius was unexpected, showing their determination to win," Yu Jinghe said softly. "Now, having failed again, they are unlikely to compete with Li Yuan."


    "We need to get ready."


    Suddenly, Wu Manong, Tavares, Flame Cloud Fox, Yanjun Ling all felt a chill, understanding what Yu Jinghe meant.


    The internal conflicts within World within Worlds were likely to come to a pause.


    With Li Yuan holding the fort, in the short term, it''s nearly impossible for the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to send another First Stage Martial Artist to compete.


    Therefore, the warbase they were guarding was much more likely to erupt into a major battle.


    "If they dare to come, then let''s fight," Tavares said with a chuckle. "A civilization where divines have emerged?"


    "We''ve fought against Second Level powerhouses of the Myriad Demons Civilization; what''s there to fear!"


    "All at the Second Level, who is inferior to whom?" Abbott also revealed a trace of bloodlust.


    All four geniuses had grown through numerous life-and-death battles.


    How could they possibly be afraid?


    Being the ''elite existence'' among the Prime Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, they were the sharpest blades used by the entire civilization to fight in each Second Level Star Realm.


    "War isn''t something we fear."


    "Still, let''s first report Li Yuan''s performance and the latest situation within the World within Worlds," Wu Manong said quietly. "Let''s see if the alliance''s top level will invest more resources in us."


    ...


    While the higher echelons of the two great civilizations were in turmoil, each with their strategies, World within Worlds instead fell silent.

 Chapter 246 Mintian Hous Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_3

    At this moment, Li Yuan functioned as the Seas Calming Divine Needle within the Middle Realm.Even the demigods of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom temporarily extinguished the idea of directly competing for control over the Middle Realm.


    Beneath the continuous and towering mountain range.


    On one side of a dark gorge''s cliff, eight hours later, Li Yuan''s complete transformation finally concluded.


    He simply sat there quietly.


    "Four infusions of Origin Power have finally ended," Li Yuan thought with an unparalleled sense of tranquility.


    With a single thought, his spiritual consciousness permeated his entire body, sensing every strand of subtle Vigor.


    At the same time.


    "Whoosh~" In the Sea of Source Energy, tumultuous Origin Power surged, instantly raising towering waves, then swiftly flowing into each Star Meridian.


    The four Star Meridians interlaced with each other, making Li Yuan''s overall aura exceptionally different.


    Powerful!


    Unprecedentedly powerful!


    At this moment, while mobilizing the myriad subtle strengths within his body along with his Origin Power, Li Yuan felt an outburst of strength far surpassing anything before.


    If he were to encounter Mo Hu again?


    Li Yuan estimated that it would only take two to three moves to slay him, a truly one-sided curb-stomping.


    "25.9 level?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ----


    [Life Level: 25.9 level (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 413,000 kilograms


    Speed: 258 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 32.8 level


    Willpower: 33 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 40% (Current upper limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: 16 level (Training efficiency 10+1.5+1+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 43%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 43%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" (First Rank 7 level: 7 level)


    ...


    "Physical Quality increased by 2.2 levels, Basic Fist Strength went up by about 130,000 kilograms?" Li Yuan silently pondered.


    The effect of Origin Power infusion was much better than the Fourth Rank treasure, the "Myriad Life Extension Fruit."


    The Spiritual Power had also increased by a full level.


    If Li Yuan were to solely practice the Visualization Method, it would take him a long time to reach such an increase.


    At the level of 32.8 Spiritual Power, among the many Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan reckoned he was already quite good.


    "Now, if I were to use the Spiritual Secret Technique again, it would be extremely difficult for Mo Hu to easily withstand it," Li Yuan mused. "Even without losing his senses, his strength would be reduced by more than twenty percent."


    "If it were a typical 29 level Prime Warrior, they would likely lose their senses," said Li Yuan, a smile appearing on his lips.


    Li Yuan was extremely satisfied.


    That the Spiritual Secret Technique could play such a big role in a head-on fight... was already quite remarkable.


    However.


    This infusion of Origin Power was not as exciting to Li Yuan due to the physical and Spiritual Power breakthroughs.


    Rather, it was¡ªSpiritual Awakening Level and the Star Meridian.


    "I never expected that reaching 32 level Spiritual Power would meet the requirements to raise my Spiritual Awakening upper limit to 45%," Li Yuan glanced at one of the many unremarkable Divine Palace prompts.


    "[Your Spiritual Power has reached 32 level, Spiritual Awakening upper limit has increased from 40% to 45%]"


    Of course.


    Having the Spiritual Awakening upper limit increased to 45% doesn''t affect much for the time being, as even if Li Yuan continues to accumulate to the upper limit, he can''t infuse Origin Power.


    But what''s most important is that it signifies Li Yuan is just one step away from reaching a 50% Spiritual Awakening upper limit.


    "Spiritual Power reaching 32 level has made the upper limit 45%."


    "So, what would the requirement for reaching a 50% upper limit be? Would it need a Spiritual Power of 34 level? Or 35 level?" Li Yuan silently speculated and guessed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, like reaching a Life Level of 35 level, it was the normal peak for Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Spiritual Power progressing from 35 to 36 level would also be a big hurdle, and breaking through would be very difficult too.


    "I hope,"


    "that the requirements for a 50% Spiritual Awakening upper limit aren''t too high," Li Yuan thought to himself with some anticipation.


    Because once the Spiritual Awakening upper limit reaches 50%, it would trigger a second Spiritual Guidance.


    The first Spiritual Guidance allowed Li Yuan to awaken a Perfect Star Vein.


    What about the second? S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Keep practicing diligently, as long as I persist, and with the continual increase in Spiritual Power, I will naturally reach it," Li Yuan reasoned to himself. "Now with four Star Meridians awakened, and a vast amount of isolated Life Stars... I should not be far from awakening the fifth Star Meridian."


    Li Yuan silently sensed the four Star Meridians inside his body which had undergone immense changes compared to when he had just awakened the fourth one.


    All this was the result of his hours of persistent awakening of Life Stars.


    A Perfect Star Vein.


    One each of a Third Layer, Second Layer, and First Layer Star Vein.


    It is precisely because of this that Li Yuan''s Star Meridian Level has reached level 16 all at once.


    "With a Third Layer Star Vein, I can now practice Third Layer Star Techniques." Before entering the Star Realm, Li Yuan had already learned many Third Layer Star Technique Secret Manuals in the Starfire Treasure Repository.


    However, Li Yuan wasn''t planning on practicing them for the time being.


    "My Perfect Star Vein has already chosen to practice a supportive Star Technique," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Therefore, the second star technique must be one that excels in attack."


    "The second Star Vein has awakened to the Third Layer in such a short time. If I keep practicing, maybe I can awaken it to the Fifth Layer, Sixth Layers," Li Yuan pondered.


    In the Prime Warrior stage, the body''s ability to endure is limited, and even if one awakens Five-Star Meridians or Six Star Pulses, they often can practice at most two Star Techniques, with the limit being three.


    Therefore.


    The choice of Star Technique is of great importance.


    "If I want to surpass Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe at level 29, I had better practice a powerful Star Technique next," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Third Layer Star Technique? That would be too weak.


    ...


    After clearing his thoughts, Li Yuan began checking his smart ring, which had many messages awaiting his review.


    There were messages from Alicia, Si Feng, among others.


    And also from Wu Manong. Your next chapter awaits on empire


    After reading through them.


    "It seems everything is normal. In these eight hours, Alicia and the others killed a batch of fleeing members of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, but they didn''t encounter any more obstacles, nor were there any experts left," Li Yuan mused to himself.

 Chapter 246 Mintian Hous Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_4

    Following the great battle at the Relic Divine Palace not long ago, the entire World within Worlds seemed to finally calm down."Wu Manong''s meaning..."


    "Let me start venturing into the Relic Divine Palace? Explore its secrets, see if I can find any treasures?" Li Yuan pondered.


    Why do the two great civilizations vie for the World within Worlds?


    Because indeed, the treasures contained within the Relic Divine Palace... part of it forged a demigod of the Seven Star Civilization, the ''Flame City Demigod'', and even built a powerful demi-god family, from which Flying Heaven Warriors have emerged in great numbers over the past hundred years.


    So, if one could obtain all the treasures of the entire World within Worlds.


    How valuable would they be?


    "According to the Blazing Flame Family, Lanyue must have taken a path similar to her ancestor, the ''Flame City Demigod'', entering deep into the relics?" Li Yuan silently speculated.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan slowly stood up.


    "My physical quality and spiritual power, I can no longer enhance them in a short period of time." Li Yuan had made up his mind, "But Star Techniques, they can still be improved."


    "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein," this Star Technique could still be cultivated.


    "With the Divine Crystal Energy Concentration in the mysterious chamber, it will take at most another day or two, and I should be able to cultivate it to its limit," Li Yuan leaped towards the bottom of the canyon here.


    His quiet place of cultivation was not far from the ''mysterious chamber'' at the bottom of the canyon, just a few kilometers away.


    "Just right."


    "If I now venture into the Relic Divine Palace and accidentally get trapped inside, and if high-level masters from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom come to kill... Alicia and the others might not be able to hold them off," Li Yuan thought.


    "Hmm, if they send people again, I''ll just slap them all to death." Li Yuan was very confident in his own strength.


    Talents like Mo Hu were extremely rare.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom sending even stronger envoys? The probability is very low. Perhaps such talents exist, but the chance that they are currently at the First Order is too slim.


    "Wait two more days, confirm that Gu Yue Divine Kingdom dares not send more masters into the World within Worlds, then it would not be too late to venture into the Relic Divine Palace."


    Li Yuan did not think there would be any problem with going two days later.


    To be precise, if he could cultivate a Supreme Star Technique to perfection, his chances would be even greater.


    Soon.


    In utter darkness, Li Yuan followed his senses and approached the mysterious chamber.


    "Exotic Beasts?" Li Yuan''s powerful spiritual power could sense countless exotic beasts lurking in the darkness around him.


    But perhaps after witnessing Li Yuan''s formidable strength, not a single one of those countless beasts dared to approach him, let alone attack.


    Unhindered.


    "The stone door, it''s closed again?" Li Yuan arrived at the chamber''s large door and paused.


    He remembered not closing the stone door when he left... because he didn''t know how to close it from the outside.


    After pondering.


    Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone door and applied a slight force throughout his body, slowly pushing open the immensely heavy stone door.


    Boom!


    A surge of powerful Origin Power fluctuations and Divine Crystal Energy gushed out along the stone door.


    Li Yuan still cautiously used his Divine Sense to confirm no one was inside the chamber.


    "Enter!"


    Stepping into the chamber, Li Yuan once again sat cross-legged, sensing the rich Earth Origin Crystal Energy inside, with the cultivation mysteries of the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" emerging in his mind.


    "Let''s begin."


    ...


    "We need to wait another two days?" Alicia received the message from Li Yuan just before he entered the chamber.


    "Let us continue to patrol, guarding the Relic Divine Palace?"


    "Once we encounter unbeatable masters, we should immediately call for help?" Alicia looked at Li Yuan''s orders.


    After brief contemplation.


    She passed the order to Si Feng, Kross, and the others.


    "Alicia, that Li Yuan must have a big secret. I suspect he discovered something in the core of that mining vein..." A young voice rang out in Alicia''s mind: "Why not, we descend to the bottom of the canyon and see for ourselves?"


    "No."


    "Let''s be cautious. As for Li Yuan?" Alicia shook her head, her mind involuntarily envisioning the handsome young man''s face: "Since he said two days, let''s wait for him two more days."


    "It''s not too late to ask him after two days."


    ...


    Time passed, and about five hours after Li Yuan entered the chamber.


    The once dark chamber was now slightly illuminated... Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the center, was surrounded by a faint earthy yellow glow.


    "116,620 Life Stars."


    "116,630 Life Stars." Li Yuan focused intently, his powerful spiritual consciousness continuously branding Star Marks on each Life Star. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Finally.


    "116,640 Life Stars." Li Yuan sensed precisely as the last Life Star was branded with the Star Mark.


    This also signified that the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" Star Technique had truly reached the First Order Limit.


    In that instant!


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s Perfect Star Vein burst forth with dazzling light.


    The brilliance was so intense that the whole chamber seemed like daylight.

 Chapter 248 Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)

    Huh!Li Yuan had just stepped into the plaza.


    He hadn''t even approached the steps of the towering main hall when he felt an invisible fluctuation forming out of thin air about thirty meters away from himself.


    "Hmm? Not good," Li Yuan, whose spiritual power was incredibly strong, immediately sensed the anomaly.


    He was just about to retreat when it was already too late.


    Buzz~ The invisible fluctuation instantly invaded Li Yuan''s body, seemingly containing a destructive force that made Li Yuan''s heart shudder, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.


    In an instant, Li Yuan was suppressed by this force, frozen in place.


    Unable to move!


    "What? What''s going on?" Li Yuan was shocked, this was not mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family''s intelligence.


    Could it be that the information was false?


    However, the destructive restraining power was too overwhelming, and even as Li Yuan burst out with all his might in an instant... he still couldn''t budge an inch.


    This scene made Li Yuan think of Mo Hu''s death, but the restraining power last time was even more terrifying, as it had outright immobilized space itself.


    This time, it was only restraining Li Yuan.


    Just a few seconds later, without giving Li Yuan time to think¡­


    Whoosh~


    Several meters away, several strands of purple light appeared out of nowhere.


    No sooner had the light concentrated than it shot towards Li Yuan, and immediately, strands of a strange force infiltrated Li Yuan''s body.


    Cold! That was Li Yuan''s only sensation.


    "Is this to check my body? To probe my details?" Li Yuan wondered in astonishment, guessing.


    With his level of skill, he could only detect the presence of this strange force... which in the blink of an eye swept over Li Yuan''s entire body and even attempted to penetrate into the sea of his consciousness within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace...


    No sooner had it tried to infiltrate...


    Buzz~ Li Yuan felt the Mind Spirit Divine Palace suddenly emit waves of invisible fluctuations, as if concealing its existence... The strange force quickly swept past the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    And then it completely dissipated.


    The strands of light shining on him also vanished abruptly, and the destructive restraining force that had assailed him dispersed just as suddenly.


    Within the plaza, everything returned to normal.


    As though...


    Nothing had happened to Li Yuan at all.


    "What exactly is going on?" Li Yuan puzzled in his heart, "What is this situation? The Divine Heritage... No wonder the Blazing Flame Family said they only uncovered a bit of the mystery; there''s still so much unknown... Based on the many clues before, the World within Worlds indeed contains great secrets."


    "However, they likely didn''t mean to kill me," Li Yuan reflected, recalling how Mo Hu died.


    He understood that the forces behind the World within Worlds could easily kill him if they wished.


    Just a few seconds later.


    "Buzz~" A wave of elemental fluctuation emerged once more, transmitting directly into Li Yuan''s mind. This fluctuation contained two pieces of information.


    "Congratulations, your talent matches the ''Earth Divine Inheritance Candidate'' criteria, and you are qualified to start the ''Divine Heritage Assessment.'' If you pass the threefold trials, you will be eligible for the ''Earth Divine Inheritance.'' You have one minute to decide whether to participate in the assessment. Participating in the assessment will carry a risk of death."


    "If you wish to participate, stand still, and the assessment will begin after one minute; if you choose to leave, then you will exit the ''Divine Palace.''"


    These two pieces of information were not in the form of text or images, but rather a type of spiritual fluctuation Li Yuan found difficult to comprehend.


    Yet Li Yuan could clearly understand the meaning they conveyed.


    "Earth Divine Inheritance? An inheritance test?" Li Yuan was astonished, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "Wasn''t it said in the intelligence that the World within Worlds was left behind by a Fire System Divine?"


    This information had never been mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family''s intelligence.


    However! S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had long anticipated the existence of treasures within the World within Worlds and his thoughts raced as he analyzed the information.


    "According to the Blazing Flame Family''s intelligence, which is information given by the ''Demigod of Flame City,'' it is highly likely that this World within Worlds is a remnant of a ''Fire System Divine,'' but there are also many other benefits... just now, my talent was likely tested by those behind the scenes."


    "But why would there be an Earth System Divine inheritance as well?"


    "Could it be that this World within Worlds is the legacy of multiple Divines?"


    "I originally thought that as someone not from the lineage of fire, I wouldn''t be able to access any divine treasures or inheritances, but to my surprise, there''s still hope to acquire a Divine Inheritance." Li Yuan made a vague judgment in his heart: "Should I take the plunge?"


    To take the plunge would have both advantages and disadvantages.


    One might gain enormously, but there was also the risk of death... crucially, the Blazing Flame Family''s intelligence had never mentioned an ''Earth System Divine Inheritance.''


    That meant there were no experiences to draw on, leaving Li Yuan unable to assess the level of danger.


    "Let''s take the plunge," Li Yuan decided after just a few seconds.


    Having come this far.


    "A Divine Inheritance, how rare is that? The entire Seven Star Civilization hasn''t yet produced a Divine Being. " A trace of longing appeared in Li Yuan''s eyes: "While receiving a Divine Being Inheritance doesn''t guarantee becoming a Divine Being, it undoubtedly greatly increases the hope."


    Even if he were to go to Feixing in the future and accept the so-called ''Martial God Inheritance,'' it would still be an inheritance formed by the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, not necessarily comparable to a true ''Divine Being Inheritance.''


    Such an opportunity was too rare.


    He had to seize it!


    One shouldn''t take risks lightly, as life-and-death challenges could easily lead to death... but upon encountering a great opportunity, one must also take the risk.


    Moreover, Li Yuan believed that even if a Divine Being was selecting a successor, his talent surely gave him a chance to be chosen.


    Time passed.


    After a minute.


    Buzz~ Another invisible fluctuation reached Li Yuan''s mind, the message straightforward¡ª"The test is about to begin, survive the first two trials to live; fail to meet the criteria in the first two trials, and die!"

 Chapter 248 Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_2

    ```Li Yuan immediately understood that he had to pass at least the first two layers of the triple trial.


    Only two seconds later.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a violent wind arose in the plaza over 200 meters in diameter, sweeping along countless grains of sand. Following closely, Li Yuan watched with his own eyes as the sand began to coalesce... eventually forming a figure clad in earthy yellow combat armor, holding a long spear. He was quite dazzling, resembling a war god.


    His eyes were the only feature of blood-red color, staring intently at Li Yuan.


    "[Target Life Level is 25, no life features detected, killing will not yield Spiritual Nature nutrients]" Li Yuan employed Divine Palace Inquiry straight away.


    The results of the inquiry instantly reminded Li Yuan of the numerous black exotic beasts he had encountered at the bottom of the canyon.


    Linked in sequence!


    "What kind of technique is this?" Li Yuan marveled internally, the methods of the World within Worlds surpassed his imagination.


    What was the assessment? To kill the opponent?


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Even more ferocious winds lifted, stirring the sand on the ground, following which an even greater number of earthy yellow figures emerged densely packed around Li Yuan. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Turning sand into humans?" Li Yuan felt increasingly shocked as he immediately employed Divine Palace Inquiry once more.


    All of them were Level 25.


    "Thirty-six?" With a sweep of his gaze, Li Yuan confirmed all the earthy yellow warlike figures.


    "Kill!" The first earthy yellow figure that appeared let out a low roar.


    The language he roared was not the "Seven Stars Language" but Li Yuan could sense the meaning he wished to convey.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!" The thirty-six earthy yellow figures roared in anger, erupting simultaneously, converging from all sides towards Li Yuan at the center.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s hand flashed with the Black Chen Spear, followed by a covering of the Origin Power Battle Suit over his entire body, a faint earthy yellow glow emerging from the garment, turning him into the spitting image of a war god.


    By now, how could Li Yuan not understand? This part of the trial probably required him to defeat all thirty-six gatekeepers, or perhaps even to kill them.


    Thirty-six Level 25 warriors?


    "I really want to see how tough this Earth System Divine Being Inheritance''s trial can be," Li Yuan said, darting forward, his figure passing through several gatekeepers like a gust of wind.


    He burst out of the encirclement.


    "Whoosh!" The instant he broke free from the encirclement, his long spear in hand thrust forward with a howling sound, the terrifying force stabbing out, hammering into the head of one of the gatekeepers.


    Boom~


    It was as if he had struck a giant sandbag, the gatekeeper''s head exploding under the force of Li Yuan''s thrust.


    But he did not fall.


    Rustling~ Countless scattering grains of sand quickly flowed back and reformed the gatekeeper''s head!


    "Ha!"


    "Boom!" The other gatekeepers were already rushing towards him, their long spears howling with fierce might.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!" Li Yuan wielded his spear, fending off the blows one after the other with ease given his strength.


    But Li Yuan was feeling a sense of urgency.


    "Why can''t they be killed? The black exotic beasts I encountered in the canyon, though also lacking life features, could die if hit in the vitals. Why are these gatekeepers different?" Li Yuan struggled to keep calm.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    The spear light was dazzling; Li Yuan easily pierced through the bodies of the gatekeepers, causing their heads to shatter, chests to rip open, or arms to break... but no matter what he did, even if their bodies completely exploded, they would recover quickly.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!" The number of gatekeepers was formidable, as many as 36. Even though a few of them were temporarily incapacitated by Li Yuan''s attacks, their places were quickly taken by others.


    Despite the limited space, there were always at least ten gatekeepers able to attack Li Yuan at any one time.


    "Dodge?" Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    The plaza was only so big, a mere two hundred meters in diameter. With the Burst Speed of a Level 25 Prime Warrior, one can dash from one end to the other in a single bound.


    "All or nothing." Li Yuan''s eyes grew cold; he had no path of retreat.


    According to the message he received earlier, should the trial end in failure, death was certain.


    "Puff!"


    "Pfft!" The Black Chen Spear in Li Yuan''s hands erupted with terrifying power, the spear light shining like stars, dazzling and flowing, converging like a river, easily blocking the assaults of the gatekeepers.


    True Intent special move¡ªGalaxy Spiral!


    In terms of skills and strength, Li Yuan far surpassed these gatekeepers.


    Especially with the operation of his Perfect Star Veins within and the vague connection with the Earth Vein, the might of Li Yuan''s Spear Technique surged greatly.


    "Thump~" As the spear light collided with the weapon of one of the gatekeepers, the terrifying force transmitted instantly caused cracks to appear on both of the gatekeeper''s arms.


    The disparity in strength was astonishing.


    The skills displayed by these gatekeepers were only at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level... it was only their astonishing number and their Undying Bodies that forced Li Yuan to be on the defensive just to protect himself.


    Time passed.


    One after another, gatekeepers were knocked down only to rise again, as Li Yuan fought with all his might, his Origin Power also being furiously consumed... With the Sea of Source Energy newly formed, the direct amplification of Origin Power on strength for a Prime Warrior was not significant.


    However, Origin Power can continuously eliminate the weariness of muscles and bones and merge with flesh to immensely boost defense... A Prime Warrior who exhausted his Origin Power would see their combat prowess decline by at least half.


    "What should I do?"


    "Even after being killed over and over, their strength doesn''t diminish." Li Yuan tried numerous methods, growing more anxious by the moment.


    Originally, Li Yuan believed that with each attack, the strength of these gatekeepers would wane until they were completely dead.


    But that was not the case.


    A weak spot? They were made of sand, without any weaknesses.


    "Kill!"


    The thirty-six gatekeepers, overwhelming like a deluge, besieged Li Yuan. They were like puppets... with only the instinct to fight and kill.


    ```

 Chapter 248 Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_3

    And what about Li Yuan? He could only endure!Endure until death!


    "There must be a chance."


    "There must be! The inheritance test couldn''t possibly be designed to be unpassable."


    "It might be a time-limited test. As long as I hold on for a while, I should be able to pass." Another possibility flashed through Li Yuan''s mind, giving him even more motivation to persist.


    But!!


    One minute, two minutes... ten minutes... thirty minutes... This was an excruciatingly long battle.


    So long that it made Li Yuan''s heart tremble.


    He could easily fend off the attacks of the Gatekeepers, but he couldn''t completely ignore them... His physical strength and Origin Power were constantly being depleted. Again and again, the battles and close combat were a torment to Li Yuan''s spirit.


    In the blink of an eye, forty minutes had passed.


    "Kill!" The thirty-six Gatekeepers were still roaring, continuously besieging Li Yuan.


    "Haven''t I met the requirements yet?" Li Yuan was nearly driven mad.


    This was definitely the longest battle of his life, even longer than the one in Flying Serpent Valley... At least in that battle, he could see hope.


    "Hold on."


    "Hang in there until the end." Li Yuan''s Origin Power inside him had long been greatly depleted, yet he was still hanging on.


    Fortunately, the operation of his four Star Meridians, especially the Perfect Star Vein... allowed the Origin Power within Li Yuan to recover at an astonishing rate.


    According to the Divine Palace panel display, the training efficiency was 13, a level many peers with Six Star Pulse couldn''t reach.


    In an instant.


    Another ten minutes passed... Li Yuan''s Origin Power inside him was finally exhausted.


    Even if the Star Meridians were operating and regenerating, it was still far from enough to compensate for the battle consumption... He could only rely purely on his flesh and blood to forge ahead.


    "Pfft!"


    "Pffft~" Li Yuan''s Spear Technique was extraordinarily sharp, still hitting one Gatekeeper after another.


    This was a protracted battle.


    A full forty more minutes passed... Li Yuan fought with all his might, his body was to the point of extreme fatigue, and his Spear Technique was a lot slower than at the beginning, purely relying on his high skill to hold on until now.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh~" A Gatekeeper''s Long Spear whistled, thrusting straight toward Li Yuan''s head!


    If it had been before, Li Yuan could have easily dodged.


    But now? Li Yuan was simply too exhausted. He could only watch helplessly as the Long Spear thrust toward him.


    Without the enhancement of Origin Power in the Battle Garment, this thrust would be enough to severely wound or even kill Li Yuan.


    "Is it ending for me?"


    "This Earth System Divine Being Inheritance, it''s so difficult... I can''t believe I''m going to die in the very first test of the inheritance." Li Yuan''s heart filled with unwillingness, yet he was completely out of options.


    Human strength has limits.


    But just when that Guardian roared, and his spear tip touched Li Yuan¡ªan instant.


    Whoosh~


    A breeze blew through and in an instant, the thirty-six Gatekeepers'' bodies crumbled inch by inch into yellow sand and dissipated.


    The whole square quieted down all at once.


    "I... passed?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    Hum~


    An invisible fluctuation instantly transmitted into Li Yuan''s mind: "Congratulations, you have passed the first layer of the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance test with a ''Perfect Level'' evaluation. Please proceed to the main hall for the second layer test."


    "Perfect Level?" Li Yuan vaguely understood that he probably met the test criteria long ago.


    But this so-called test was designed to push him to his limits.


    In fact, under the pressure of life and death, the nearly two hours of frantic battling greatly honed Li Yuan''s spear-fighting skills without him realizing it, improving it to Fifth Stage 45%.


    "Phew!"


    Li Yuan let out a breath of relief, and his entire body directly collapsed to the ground, closing his eyes.


    He was too tired.


    His prolonged endurance had been entirely driven by the instinct to survive. Now that the assessment was passed, he let himself relax completely. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Phew!"


    "Phew!" With his eyes closed, Li Yuan''s consciousness instantly descended into the ''Mind Spirit Divine Palace.''


    He lay on the ground and began to practice the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."


    ...


    This session of practice lasted two hours, and Li Yuan lay on the square the entire time.


    He slowly opened his eyes, which had regained their clarity.


    Standing up, all traces of fatigue had vanished.


    "The Visualization Method is really miraculous," Li Yuan thought to himself, then turned his gaze towards the distant main hall: "Is the second layer test inside the main hall? My body might have shaken off the fatigue, but having exhausted my Origin Power earlier, only a third has recovered so far."


    He sat down cross-legged.


    Phew! Li Yuan began running the four Star Meridians, frantically absorbing the Origin Power from the surroundings... After the first layer test, Li Yuan dared not be the slightest bit careless.


    He must face the second layer test in his peak condition.


    ...


    Three hours later, Li Yuan had fully recovered and cautiously stepped onto the stairs leading to the main hall.


    Fifty-five steps.


    From the outside, one couldn''t glimpse into the interior of the main hall, but as soon as Li Yuan stepped inside.


    Hum~ His vision flashed, and he immediately saw the inside of the hall.


    This was an ancient hall, far less towering than it appeared from the outside. At the end of the hall stood a Golden Divine Pillar about ten meters high with a diameter of at least three meters... The surface of the Divine Pillar seemed to be carved with countless mysterious runes, emitting an invisible Spiritual Fluctuation.


    "A Pillar of Spirit?" Li Yuan''s pupils shrunk slightly, instantly thinking of the copper pillar located at the base of the Vermilion Bird Building in Kunlun Martial University.


    The two looked incredibly similar.


    The Pillar of Spirit was the treasure of Kunlun Martial University... It just seemed less important because Li Yuan had the Visualization Method.


    "Could it be that the second layer test is a test of Willpower and Spiritual Power?" The thought crossed Li Yuan''s mind.


    The next moment.


    Boom! The Golden Divine Pillar at the end of the hall suddenly burst into radiant light, covering the entire hall and enveloping Li Yuan as well.


    Waves of intense spiritual pressure enveloped him.


    "Is it really a test of Spiritual Power and Willpower?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

 Chapter 248 Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_4

    This radiance held an intangible impact, its might extremely astonishing. For an ordinary Prime Warrior, they would probably faint in an instant... but given Li Yuan''s spiritual will, he naturally withstood it with ease.Hum~


    Without a sound, as if sensing that Li Yuan had easily withstood it, the golden Divine Pillar''s glow became even more resplendent, the spiritual oppression it contained growing increasingly terrifying.


    "Hold on!" Li Yuan knew he had no choice.


    Withdraw?


    To retreat from the hall would likely mean a failed trial, certain death... but to what extent must one endure the spiritual pressure to pass the trial? There was no hint whatsoever.


    So, Li Yuan still had only one path¡ªendure at all costs!!


    The longer, the better.


    Hum~


    In just a short minute, the light released by the golden Divine Pillar had almost materialized, and the dreadful spiritual oppression had altered Li Yuan''s complexion, forcing him to grit his teeth and hold on for dear life.


    It was truly too terrifying.


    "I fear that an ordinary Prime Warrior would suffer mental collapse in an extremely short span of time," said Li Yuan, expressionless.


    With spiritual power reaching 32.8 and willpower at 33... speaking purely of spiritual will, Li Yuan was already outstanding among those at the Flying Heaven Level.


    Time passed!


    Oppression!


    The ever more horrifying oppression had now reached the peak of the Flying Heaven Level and was still increasing, causing Li Yuan to feel a stunning level of pressure.


    Under such terrifying oppression, an ordinary Prime Warrior would likely faint and lose consciousness instantly.


    What about an ordinary First Rank Martial Artist? They would directly suffer a mental breakdown, becoming insane or even meet death.


    "Hold on!" Li Yuan clenched his teeth, still going all out, feeling even his thought process slowing down.


    As time went on, Li Yuan''s face was subtly turning pale. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hum~ That golden Divine Pillar, its nature unknown, continued to escalate the spiritual oppression, quickly surpassing the domain of the Flying Heaven Peak and climbing toward the Semi Divine Level.


    Finally, when a certain limit was reached.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan felt a tremor in his spirit, the world went dark before his eyes, and he fainted outright.


    Completely unconscious.


    ... After an unknown duration, Li Yuan slowly came to, his head feeling as if it was about to explode.


    Pain!


    This sort of brute endurance against spiritual oppression to the limit was inherently a form of torture to one''s spiritual will.


    At the end of the hall, the previously radiant golden Divine Pillar had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.


    "I''m not dead; I must have passed the trial," Li Yuan''s consciousness was still clear.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Two intangible fluctuations came through: "Congratulations, you have passed the Second Layer trial of the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance, graded as ''Perfect Level'', and will be heading to the final trial site to face the Third Layer trial."


    "If not passed, a gift will be bestowed upon you, and you may leave the place of inheritance."


    "Of course, if you pass the Third Layer trial and ultimately do not wish to accept the inheritance, you will still be presented with a gift and may depart."


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    His trial at the Second Layer was graded as Perfect Level, he understood, after all, only First Rank life forms could enter the World within Worlds, and even if one broke through to Second Rank in a short time, how strong could their spiritual consciousness be?


    But.


    "To pass the Third Layer trial and still not wish to accept the inheritance? To be allowed to leave on one''s own accord?" Li Yuan''s mind was filled with various thoughts.


    "Could it be, does this Earth System Divine Being Inheritance contain dangers that I''m unaware of?"


    ...


    In the deepest reaches of the World within Worlds, a mysterious place.


    A vast and grand hall stood.


    On a meditation cushion, a girl clad in a flame-red robe sat cross-legged, silently cultivating.


    Around her, wisps of flames seemed to flicker faintly.


    Suddenly.


    "Lanyue, an Inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being has appeared, exceptional in every way," a gentle voice spoke: "He... even without the inheritance, likely possesses the potential of a Divine Being, far surpassing you."

 Chapter 249 Origin (Extra 40)

    "Far surpass me?""Could possess the potential to become a divine being without receiving a Divine Being Inheritance?" Lin Lanyue, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of surprise flashing across them.


    Half a month into the inheritance site.


    She was fully aware of how proud the Boundary Spirit was; even though she had surpassed her ancestors in the purity of her bloodline after her Bloodline Awakening, perfectly matching the requirements to inherit the Divine Artifact and thus becoming a ''Fire System Divine''s named disciple.''


    Like the Nirvana Divine Scripture of the Blazing Flame Family, it was actually obtained from a Fire System Divine by a demigod of Flame City.


    Yet, according to the Boundary Spirit, her true Comprehension and talent were still far from sufficient.


    As for becoming a true inheritor of the Divine Being? She herself still had a long way to go, and might never succeed.


    The inheritance left behind by a divine being on the brink of death always had exceedingly high requirements, even for named disciples.


    In the words of the Boundary Spirit, if she practiced step by step within the Seven Star Civilization, she might have a slim hope of becoming a Demigod.


    But now, the Boundary Spirit was saying that this person had the potential to become a ''Divine Being'' on their own?


    It seemed that this person had a chance to become an Earth System Divine Inheritor.


    When did her family have someone with such high talent?


    How was she not aware of it?


    "Who is it?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help but ask.


    "According to my observation of the World within Worlds during this period, he should be someone you know," said the gentle voice. "Moreover, he should be here to save you."


    "Save me? Someone I know?" Lin Lanyue was momentarily stunned.


    She had been trapped in the World within Worlds for half a month, constantly facing many trials from the ''Fire System Divine.''


    Based on the ''Bloodline Token'' given to her by her ancestor, the outside world should be aware she hadn''t died.


    Why would someone be sent to save her?


    She was nearly unreachable inside the Relic Divine Palace, which her ancestor should have known.


    Had something happened?


    "See for yourself." The gentle voice sounded again, and following that, countless rays of light converged, and a massive light screen appeared out of nowhere.


    Appearing on the screen was the figure of someone standing silently in the palace, waiting.


    Lin Lanyue''s pupils constricted slightly because she was all too familiar with this figure.


    Li Yuan?


    "Why is Li Yuan here?" Lin Lanyue''s heart surged with shock and joy.


    The World within Worlds was controlled by the Blazing Flame Family, and theoretically, outsiders shouldn''t be allowed in.


    Moreover, considering the time.


    Less than a month had passed since the virtual combat of the Blue Star Grand Competition had ended.


    "Li Yuan has the potential to become a divine being?" Lin Lanyue recalled what the Boundary Spirit had just said, feeling somewhat shocked.


    She trusted the Boundary Spirit''s judgement.


    She knew Li Yuan was extremely talented, but she never imagined it would be to this extent.


    A Divine Being?


    The entire Seven Star Civilization had yet to give birth to a Divine Being.


    "It seems you do know him," the gentle voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing.


    "An Earth System Divine seems much stronger than your master, right? Their inheritance requirements must be much higher," Lin Lanyue couldn''t help saying. "Does Li Yuan have a chance to receive the inheritance directly?"


    As a candidate for the Divine Being Inheritance.


    Although she was limited in strength, merely a named disciple of the Fire System Divine, she was already privy to many secrets of the World within Worlds.


    "Correct!"


    "You should understand that master, that is, your mentor, was but a follower of that Earth System Divine," continued the gentle voice. "It was just during that great battle long ago that the Earth System Divine was mortally wounded, undoubtedly dying, and, with their last effort, managed to send the master away...


    but the master also couldn''t escape the fate of death, and only then was this World within Worlds created before they perished."


    "She left behind two Divine Being Inheritances, one of her own and the other of that Earth System Divine."


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    This World within Worlds was left by her cheap master, so the outside world''s Inquiry naturally concerned the Fire lineage... but in reality, it contained another even more powerful legacy... left by her master''s own master.


    Originally, Lin Lanyue had planned to return to the Seven Star Civilization when she was strong enough.


    To then have some talents of the civilization attempt to pass the trials of the World within Worlds, to see if they could acquire the Earth System Divine''s inheritance.


    Unexpectedly.


    Li Yuan had come so soon, and quickly earned the recognition of the Boundary Spirit.


    "Boundary Spirit, how is Li Yuan?" Lin Lanyue asked.


    "In terms of potential, he should be enough. His talent far exceeds yours, not to mention that you are not yet the direct disciple of the master; even if you eventually became one, your chances of achieving Divine status in the future are probably not as high as his," the gentle voice spoke plainly.


    "However, the ultimate trial of the Earth System Divine Inheritance was personally left by the Divine long ago... what exactly it is, I am not clear."


    Lin Lanyue listened carefully.


    She could infer from the few words left by her master the terrifying extent of that Earth System Divine, far surpassing her master.


    "However, there seems to be a powerful Divine behind your fellow villager," the gentle voice said.


    "Another powerful Divine?" Lin Lanyue was astonished. "Are you sure?"


    In the Seven Star human civilization thus far, no Divine had ever appeared.


    "Not sure."


    "It''s just that he really is mysterious, containing great secrets," said the gentle voice. "The slight threat he poses to me, apart from a powerful Divinity, I can think of nothing else."


    "So, I haven''t delved deeper."


    "In this endless timespace, there are many secrets, and they need not always be probed," the gentle voice said. "Sometimes, it can bring disaster instead."


    "Remember the reason for the demise of your mentor and their master... always be in awe of the endless timespace," the gentle voice advised.


    "Understood," Lin Lanyue responded solemnly. She was clear on the reasons for the fall of the two Divinities.


    They died very unfairly.


    But it was not unjust.


    "It seems he has awakened a Nine Layers Star Vein and cultivated a Supreme Star Technique as well," the gentle voice said.


    "Nine Layer Star Vein?" Lin Lanyue''s heart was increasingly shocked, "Has he already become a Prime Warrior?"


    "So soon?"


    As a named disciple of a Divine Being, her vision had become far superior to the past.


    Time passed.


    With the Boundary Spirit''s narrative, Lin Lanyue approximately understood some events inside the World within Worlds and also learned of many things Li Yuan had done, which increasingly astonished her.


    Li Yuan''s strength had grown to this extent?


    "The inheritance left by the Earth System Divine Being is not for you to decide; you only have the right to know," the gentle voice spoke, "Let''s see if he can pass the trial. If he can surpass the ultimate test of inheritance, he will also come here and initially control the World within Worlds."


    "Mhm," Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    "Furthermore,"


    "The ''Divine Artifact'' left by the master, even the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being is eligible to contend for it, as it was indeed left by the Earth System Divine Being," the gentle voice continued, "That Divine Artifact is extremely precious and involves major implications. The owner of the master perished because of it."


    "Once Li Yuan obtains the Earth System Divine Being''s inheritance, given his talents, he is highly likely to acquire the Divine Artifact before you," said the gentle voice.


    "I don''t mind."


    "That Divine Artifact... my master mentioned in his Divine Sense''s shadow image that his greatest regret in life was obtaining it," Lin Lanyue shook her head slightly, "Not to mention that I''m just a named disciple, even if I were to become a Direct Disciple, according to the master''s wishes, he advised me not to covet it."


    Lin Lanyue was self-aware; becoming a named disciple was already due to her Bloodline Awakening.


    If she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, that would be a stroke of luck.


    The ultimate legacy''s Divine Artifact, at least, was not something she currently dared to entertain.


    According to the master''s wishes, if she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, all she needed to do was return the Divine Artifact... and she would fulfill the last will.


    As for that Divine Artifact?


    Essentially, it was meant for the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being.


    ...


    Deep within the Divine Palace ruins, within that Divine Hall.


    "Where is the Third Layer trial? Isn''t it starting yet?" Li Yuan wondered inwardly.


    Suddenly~


    "Li Yuan," a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the Divine Hall, "You may call me the Boundary Spirit, and I am also the controller of the entire world."


    "Boundary Spirit?" Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    He instantly realized that the whisper he had captured with his spiritual power when Mo Hu died must have been from this entity.


    "The ultimate legacy site will take some time to open," the voice of Boundary Spirit resounded, "Now, it''s time for you to choose."


    "If you wish," she continued, "I will send you to the ultimate legacy site."


    "If you do not wish, then I will send you away," said Boundary Spirit.


    "I have to choose?" Li Yuan reflected on his previous speculation.


    "I have no control over what happens at the ultimate legacy site. Furthermore, the Earth System Divine Being fell because an enemy killed him. That Divine enemy will surely aim to kill you with all they have once they learn you''re the inheritor," the Boundary Spirit spoke indifferently, "Consider the gains and losses for yourself."


    "You have one minute to decide."


    "Whether to go to the Earth System Divine Being''s ultimate legacy site," the Boundary Spirit said gently.


    Without further thought, Li Yuan smiled and said, "I accept."


    An enemy Divine Being? Hunting me?


    What a joke, first they have to find me.


    Just like my senior Dongfang Ji, how many strong beings from different civilizations wish to kill him? Surely, there must be Divine Beings among them, but has anyone succeeded?


    On the contrary, it seems there are quite a few Demigods slaughtered by Dongfang Ji, with his name known among many Foreign Civilizations.


    If one is strong, why fear an enemy?


    The more Li Yuan learned and the higher his horizons rose... the stronger his desire to become a Divine Being became.


    "Good."


    "Prepare for transmission," the Boundary Spirit''s voice remained gentle, "Three, two, one."


    A hum~ An invisible wave enveloped Li Yuan, and in the next moment, he vanished from the Divine Hall.


    ...


    A mysterious place deep within the World within Worlds. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept by.


    Li Yuan felt darkness before his eyes, and after several seconds, when everything cleared, he was already in a vast, completely sealed hall.


    "The air is filled with such a rich scent of Origin Power fluctuations," Li Yuan marveled silently, observing this hall.


    Imposingly magnificent.


    On both sides, more than a dozen Divine Pillars supported it, each hundreds of meters tall. The throne in the temple was also exceptionally massive... but in the Seven Star Civilization, there were almost no such structures.


    After all, what size must the inhabitant be?


    "Could it be that this Earth System Divine Being was a giant?" Li Yuan pondered to himself.


    He couldn''t help but walk towards the center of the great hall.


    The entire hall''s decoration was very simple, with no carvings or reliefs on the pillars.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan looked towards the right side wall of the imposing hall, a thousand meters away, where countless patterns were engraved.


    They seemed to depict the scenes of stars and starry skies.


    "A starry sky map?" Li Yuan was initially startled.


    Then he was captivated by the humongous starry mural, feeling as if it contained a certain mystery.


    "It''s the Stellar True Intent," Li Yuan quickly caught on to a trace of mystery.

 Chapter 250 Map of Myriad Stars

    "Stellar True Intent?" Li Yuan''s heart was shaken, "I''ve never sensed the fluctuation of Stellar True Intent so clearly."For such a long time,


    ever since he began cultivating "Meaning of the Stellar" at the Subtlety level, Li Yuan had been practicing the Secret Manual that contained Bai Shan Semi-Divine''s various insights and guidance on ''Stellar True Intent''.


    It was precisely because of this Secret Manual that Li Yuan was able to cultivate faster on the path towards Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Borrowing insights from the manual to comprehend the nature''s intricate Mystery, he made his Spear Technique advance even more rapidly.


    But the various guidances of "Meaning of the Stellar" were essentially still very vague... many intricacies were indefinable and inexpressible.


    When Li Yuan stepped into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, and especially after creating the True Intent Killing Move ''Star River Whirl'', this feeling became even more intense.


    Like now, Li Yuan''s cultivation of Spear Technique relied more on his own comprehension and speculation... The operation of heaven and earth contained countless intricate fluctuations, and it was extremely difficult to find the True Intent fluctuations that best suited him.


    Fortunately, Li Yuan''s Comprehension was extremely high to begin with, and he had obtained a Flying Heaven Level soul, so cultivating "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" made him highly compatible with the Earth Vein.


    Therefore, Li Yuan''s Spear Technique was advancing faster and faster, but he was still far from truly mastering Stellar True Intent.


    "Now, this Stellar True Intent fluctuation," Li Yuan held his breath, looking up at the gigantic stone wall engraved with countless starry scenes.


    The entire stone wall was over a hundred meters wide and more than fifty meters high... incredibly vast.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan''s heart, the Stellar Stone Wall in front of him had already exceeded the value of all the treasures he had ever obtained.


    Ultimate treasure!


    This was definitely an ultimate treasure!


    Because by sensing the Stellar fluctuations emanating from the stone wall, and then incorporating them with his own, Li Yuan could probably speed up the cultivation of his Spear Technique by a large margin.


    "Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Principal Fang Hai both said,"


    "Comprehending heaven and earth, they can hardly provide guidance, it depends more on oneself," Li Yuan looked up and said, "Wrong! They were wrong!"


    "It''s not that they can''t provide guidance,"


    "It''s that their realms are not high enough... Observing and comprehending this massive stone wall is like having a real ''True Intent instructor'' for guidance," Li Yuan''s eyes shone brightly.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan''s heart, he had immense respect for that unseen ''Earth System Divine,'' to the utmost extent.


    Truly divine!


    "Only, how am I supposed to move this gigantic stone wall?" Li Yuan hesitated inwardly, "Moreover, what will be the ultimate test that the Boundary Spirit spoke of?"


    Suddenly.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan had a premonition and involuntarily turned to look.


    In the space about ten meters high,


    a girl appeared as if out of nowhere, resembling a sprite. She had an exquisitely beautiful face, with long hair fluttering down, dressed in white gauze, barefooted, standing in mid-air, opening her spirited eyes to look at Li Yuan, seemingly observing him.


    So beautiful, that was Li Yuan''s first thought.


    This was definitely the most beautiful girl Li Yuan had ever seen, like Alicia, Lin Lanyue, they all had outstanding temperaments and appearances... but none could compare to the girl before him.


    Especially that transcendent and ethereal quality made one feel it was sacrilegious to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.


    The only thing that made Li Yuan a bit puzzled was the girl''s figure, which looked somewhat illusory... somewhat unreal.


    Fortunately,


    Li Yuan''s willpower was strong enough, and within a second, he pressed down many thoughts and said respectfully, "Junior Li Yuan, I have seen my senior."


    The Boundary Spirit said that it could not control the Earth System Divine''s Hall of Inheritance,


    which was enough to explain the uniqueness of this place.


    The appearance of such a woman was enough to make Li Yuan revere her.


    "Li Yuan?" The white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan curiously, her voice melodious like music from heaven, "Are you the inheritor referred to by Little Fire, one who has the hope of inheriting my father''s mantle?"


    "Little Fire? Father?" Li Yuan was astonished and somewhat confused.


    "It''s the Boundary Spirit from the Cave Heaven World that sent you here," the white-clothed girl said with a smile, "The Cave Heaven World is a treasure of the Fire System Divine, so I call the Boundary Spirit Little Fire."


    The Boundary Spirit was Little Fire? Li Yuan was astonished.


    Suddenly,


    Li Yuan had an epiphany and couldn''t help but look at the white-clothed girl, "Senior, are you the daughter of the Earth System Divine?"


    The daughter of a divine? Could this be true?


    "Indeed, Ancient Torch Divine is my father," the white-clothed girl said with a faint smile.


    Ancient Torch Divine?


    Was that the true name of the Earth System Divine?


    The white-clothed girl continued, "But my father belongs to the mountain giant lineage, while I am not human."


    "You''re not human?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "Right, I am not human," the white-clothed girl nodded as if it were perfectly natural, "You don''t need to dwell on these details. Before my father''s passing, he entrusted me with overseeing the Hall of Inheritance. If you want to become my father''s disciple, then you will have to pass the initial trial he has left."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Even though he was still unclear whether the white-clothed girl was human or not, at least he understood that his fate was in her hands.


    "I have seen your first two trials," the white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan, "Not yet twenty years old, and not one who relies on powerful bloodlines for growth... To have achieved Fifth Stage Skill, a Flying Heaven Level soul, you are indeed very outstanding."


    "And according to Little Fire, it seems you have awoken several Star Meridians, among which there is a Nine Layers Star Vein?" The white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    Li Yuan''s pupils constricted; how did she know all this?


    "Don''t mind it, this world is controlled by Little Fire, there''s almost nothing that can be hidden from it," the white-clothed girl said with a smile, "There must be some secrets within you, but then, which extraordinary genius doesn''t have fate on their side... We can''t cultivate, so we are not interested in your secrets."


    Little Fire''s controlled world? Li Yuan thought to himself. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 250 Map of Myriad Stars_2

    However,it seemed that the girl in white did not know about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    "This Star Realm is only connected to a few dimensional planes, and it has been hiding and not truly emerged until recently, a little more than a hundred years... To have a genius like you come here, is indeed very rare," said the girl in white.


    Li Yuan''s mind stirred.


    Taking refuge? Refuge from what? Was it from the pursuit of other divines?


    But this was the Second Level Star Realm; even if as powerful as a divine, they shouldn''t be able to enter.


    "Logically, with the talent you''ve shown, if my father were still alive, he would probably have been willing to take you on as a direct disciple," the girl in white looked at Li Yuan, "But now that my father has long passed away, we must follow the many rules he left before his death."


    "Therefore, you can only become my father''s disciple by passing the trial," the girl in white said earnestly.


    Li Yuan pondered. Both the Boundary Spirit and the girl in white before him seemed a bit rigid.


    A bit like an artificial intelligence, strictly following whatever commands their master had left.


    Incapable of flexibility.


    "May I ask, senior, what is the trial?" Li Yuan inquired.


    "No need to call me senior," said the girl in white, shaking her head, "My name is Gu You; you can simply call me by my name."


    "Yes, Senior Gu You," Li Yuan replied seriously.


    The girl in white was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, "Senior it is, then. Well, the trial is right there."


    Whoosh!


    With a sweep of her hand, three blobs of golden metallic liquid suddenly emerged from the empty ground, rising and swirling until finally, they congealed into three figures clad in golden armor.


    The three of them, each with an extraordinary aura, stood there with weapons in hand, and suddenly they all opened their eyes, which were full of life and radiated with the light of wisdom.


    "War God Gu You."


    "War God!" The three Golden Armored Warriors reveled fervently and saluted respectfully.


    "War God?" Li Yuan was taken aback, looking at the girl who seemed as harmless as a sprite.


    "I''m not the War God; it sounds bad," the girl''s head bobbed back and forth like a rattle.


    Li Yuan was at a loss. He felt that the girl in white... really was like a young girl.


    "All right."


    "Li Yuan, your trial is very simple," the girl in white looked at Li Yuan, "Everyone who comes here faces different levels of difficulty for their trial. I have observed your age, skill level, spiritual power, and Star Meridian talent, and will make a comprehensive judgment on the difficulty of the trial you must face... The final layer of the trial is actually a test of your comprehension."


    "Comprehension?" Li Yuan mulled over this.


    "You have three months," the girl in white said, "If you can defeat the third Golden Armored Warrior within three months, you can become a Disciple in Name."


    "If you can defeat the second Golden Armored Warrior, you can become an Inner Sect Disciple."


    "If you can defeat the first Golden Armored Warrior, you can become a Direct Disciple," declared Gu You.


    "Three months? Defeat three Golden Armored Warriors?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but turn to look at the three Golden Armored Warriors.


    They also smiled back at Li Yuan: "I am number three."


    "I am number two."


    The last Golden Armored Warrior shrugged his shoulders; naturally, he was the most powerful, number one.


    ...


    "This stone wall, you observed it for quite a while earlier. With your realm, you should be able to see its mystery," Gu You pointed at the huge wall in the distance and said, "It''s called the Map of Myriad Stars."


    The Map of Myriad Stars? Li Yuan looked up; the name fit perfectly.


    "This is a treasure for aiding in enlightenment that my father obtained unintentionally. It''s not very useful to divines, but for those below a demigod... it has great benefits, allowing mortals to more quickly touch upon the mysteries of laws," said Gu You.


    Li Yuan nodded, as he had already sensed the marvel of the Map of Myriad Stars.


    "Within three months,"


    "You may observe the Map of Myriad Stars for cultivation and to enhance your strength. Whether you can defeat any of the Golden Armored Warriors depends on you," Gu You stated, looking at Li Yuan.


    "I shall leave now."


    "Oh, and if you feel you can''t pass the trial and want to give up early, you can just call out my name," the girl said with a giggle, "I''ll send you on your way."


    Hum~


    Without a sound, she vanished from the hall.


    ...


    The Hall of Inheritance suddenly quieted down, leaving only Li Yuan and the three Golden Armored Warriors staring blankly at each other.


    Compared to the girl in white, the three Golden Armored Warriors were even more dim-witted, not even taking the initiative to speak.


    "Within three months, I''ll defeat the three Golden Armored Warriors? And become a Direct Disciple?" Li Yuan looked at the three stout Golden Armored Warriors and mused, "It looks tough to get through."


    "But, I''ve got to give it a try."


    He had already shown his full strength in the first layer of the trial, so Gu You must be aware of it.


    But the fact that she left these three here suggests that she had a certain confidence in him.


    Thinking this,


    Li Yuan stepped forward, "Number three, number two, number one, I''d like to test your strength."


    The three Golden Armored Warriors looked at each other and smiled.


    "We''re just liquid metal automatons left by our master; we don''t deserve the title ''senior''. Just call us by our numbers," the third Golden Armored Warrior said with a wide grin, "Let me be the first to test your prowess. Defeat me, and you can challenge number two."


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    Quickly, Li Yuan and the third Golden Armored Warrior took their positions, standing on opposite sides of the great hall, a hundred meters apart, watching each other.


    The first and second warriors stood to the side, watching with great interest. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Big brother, do you think number three can win?" The second Golden Armored Warrior asked.


    "This youngster managed to get this far, which means he has notable strength. If Gu You set him a trial, she surely believes he has a chance to pass," said the first Golden Armored Warrior, "Let''s just watch."


    The second Golden Armored Warrior nodded.


    At that moment,


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and number three both transformed into afterimages, instantly launching themselves at each other.

 Chapter 250 Map of Myriad Stars_3

    Hum~Li Yuan''s body was instantly covered with an Origin Power Battle Suit, faintly glowing with an earthy yellow light, his aura astonishing.


    But No.3, he appeared more like a War God.


    "Ha!" No.3 bellowed angrily, suddenly swinging his Battle Axe.


    Devoid of Origin Power, it was a sheer explosion of strength.


    "Whoosh!" The axe swept across like lightning, the air violently shaking, as if space itself was cleaved in two.


    The speed was terrifying, the might shocking.


    "Huh!"


    Li Yuan also swung his Black Chen Spear, the long spear imbued with Origin Power suddenly bursting forth, the spear horizontally raised, attempting to block the furious chop of the axe.


    Boom!


    The terrifying collision, both sides'' forces of hundreds of thousands of kilograms bursting forth at the same time, a visible shockwave sweeping in all directions... dreadful power impacting both fighters, sending them flying backwards.


    Li Yuan was flung more than ten meters away, while No.3 flew only a few meters, clearly superior in strength.


    "What terrifying power."


    "His strength outbursts far exceed mine, at least a level 27." Li Yuan immediately judged, "However, his Axe Technique is quite rough, apparently not yet reaching the level of Unity of Heaven and Man."


    In terms of strength, the Golden Armored Warrior had an absolute advantage.


    But in terms of skill, Li Yuan had the upper hand.


    "Young lad, your strength is just so-so." No.3 laughed heartily, charging like lightning, followed by another fierce chop with his axe.


    Swish!


    Yet Li Yuan moved in an instant, his movements incredibly agile, instantly dodging that terrifying chop.


    His speed was not fast, yet he always managed to avoid.


    "Such strong movement technique?" No.3''s expression changed slightly, but he didn''t hesitate, the axe flipping swiftly, howling as he brought it down towards Li Yuan once more.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!


    One could only see arcs of axe light sweeping across the Vast Sky, their might terrifying... but Li Yuan, apart from occasionally thrusting his spear to block an axe strike, would not forcefully withstand hits. Upon contact, he would move away, most of the time easily shifting his steps to dodge the attacks.


    It was as if he were toying with his opponent, leaving No.3 bellowing in rage, yet utterly helpless.


    After dodging several dozens of times in succession.


    "Kill!" when No.3 once again bellowed and struck with his axe.


    "Now is the time." Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed, suddenly shifting his position, moving at a strange angle to the side of No.3, his Black Chen Spear exploding out with a potent thrust. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Fast!


    Precise!


    After dozens of dodges to observe, he became familiar with all of No.3''s combat habits... then seized the opponent''s weakest moment.


    "Splash~"


    The spear thrust like a fierce dragon, twisted with astonishing power, and as No.3 looked on furiously and helplessly, the spear tip had already pierced his underarm and abdomen... the dreadful force exploding instantly, completely penetrating No.3''s body.


    For an ordinary Martial Artist, such a wound would no doubt be fatal.


    But No.3 remained as lively as ever, as if the wound on his body had no effect whatsoever.


    "I lost!" No.3 said helplessly, "Li Yuan, your spear is really fast."


    As liquid metal golems, they were almost indestructible, their entire bodies essentially lacking any vital points.


    "You''re too gracious." Li Yuan smiled faintly.


    There was a big gap in Physical Quality between them, but it wasn''t outrageously so... and with his superior skills, he naturally could capture the best opportunity for victory.


    "Defeated No.3."


    "At least, I have the qualification to become a nominal disciple." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    His baseline was secured.


    ...


    Before long, the battle between Li Yuan and No.2 Golden Armored Warrior erupted.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!" No.2 used a pair of curved swords.


    His strength and speed were on par with No.3, around level 27.


    But his Sword Technique was far superior, his movements flickering, one cut followed by another, causing Li Yuan to retreat step by step.


    Too fast!


    The sword light reached a peak of speed.


    Splash~ A slash of sword light suddenly crossed over, furiously chopping at Li Yuan''s chest. Even as Li Yuan flew back with the flow, the sharp sword light still faintly opened up the Origin Power Battle Suit, the terrifying force shaking his entire body, his blood and Qi nearly boiling.


    A trickle of blood sprayed out.


    Li Yuan was injured.


    "Give up." No.2 smiled, "Kid, I suggest you practice more, try to defeat No.1 within three months and..."


    Suddenly No.2''s expression changed.


    Because Li Yuan''s Spear Technique suddenly transformed, from the previous wide open and swift motions to a rolling and vast surge, it was like a huge vortex, seemingly sucking in No.2.


    Easily blocking all of No.2''s moves.


    "Impressive, such quick Sword Technique, I thought I could last until No.1 before using my True Intent move." Li Yuan silently thought.


    With the conventional Stellar Spear Technique, although the moves were slightly more profound than No.2''s,


    The difference in strength was too great.


    He must use the True Intent move!!


    "Splash~" Li Yuan''s long spear moved like a star streaking across the sky, once it rolled out massively, the force became unimaginably great, whether sweeping or thrusting ferociously... pressing layer by layer towards No.2.


    Li Yuan gave it his all.


    And so, after hundreds of strikes.


    Li Yuan showed no signs of waning, whereas No.2 finally couldn''t hold on, his swords slowing dramatically.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Spear Technique flowed continuously, each move unceasing, and finally Li Yuan''s sudden thrust crossed No.2''s throat, also slicing through his golden skin, shedding plenty of fluid.


    The outcome was decided.


    "I lost?" No.2, his throat rapidly healing, spoke somewhat helplessly, "Big brother, this little guy, it seems only you can take care of him."


    "Haha, my turn." The No.1 Golden Armored Warrior who had been sitting on the side as a spectator finally revealed a smile.

 Chapter 250 Map of Myriad Stars_4

    "Another victory.""Now an Inner Sect disciple, a divine disciple of the Inner Sect," Li Yuan felt quite anticipative, unable to help but glance toward the number one warrior standing at the edge of the great hall.


    As long as he defeated the opponent, he could become a Direct Disciple.


    ...


    Two minutes later, Li Yuan''s exchange with the number one Golden Armored Warrior concluded.


    Li Yuan¡ªdefeated miserably!


    The speed and strength of the number one warrior weren''t much different from those of the second and third warriors, what truly made him formidable was his skill, his Sword Technique.


    Even though Li Yuan was mentally prepared, and both sides went all out from the moment they crossed spears... the number one Golden Armored Warrior was just too formidable, his skill level far exceeded Li Yuan''s expectations.


    Fifth Stage High Rank!


    Not only was his strength and speed a great deal stronger than Li Yuan''s, but his skills were also so much more formidable.


    Even when Li Yuan deployed his True Intent Killing Move, it still didn''t give him an advantage over the number one warrior; he remained at a disadvantage.


    Ultimately, after exchanging hundreds of moves,


    Li Yuan was still sent flying by a slash, crashing heavily against the Divine Pillar at the side of the temple, towering hundreds of meters.


    The material of the Divine Pillar was unknown, its surface incredibly smooth, and even a collision from Li Yuan left not the slightest mark.


    "You''ve lost, do you still want to continue fighting?" the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile, "If we keep fighting, I''m afraid I might not control my strength and accidentally kill you."


    "I''m still lacking," Li Yuan said with a resigned smile, "When I have trained, I will definitely defeat you."


    "Haha, good!"


    ...


    After crossing spears with the three great Golden Armored Warriors and attaining the ''Inner Sect Disciple'' status, Li Yuan returned to the Map of Myriad Stars.


    "It seems, becoming a Direct Disciple directly and receiving the legacy is not possible for now."


    "Defeat the number one warrior?" Li Yuan recalled the battle scene just now.


    The gap in strength was too big.


    "On the one hand, I must improve my Physical Quality, striving to close the gap between our physical qualities," Li Yuan thought to himself, "On the other hand, I must also continue to hone my skills."


    "Three months?"


    "Now that I''m practicing with the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' and have this Map of Myriad Stars, let''s see how far I can go." Li Yuan was filled with anticipation.


    Ever since attaining the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,'' he had not had the chance to practice it properly.


    "Stellar True Intent."


    Looking up toward the Map of Myriad Stars, Li Yuan''s formidable spiritual power perceived the subtle and profound fluctuations emanating from it.


    Hum~


    With a thought, Li Yuan''s Perfect Star Vein began to circulate within his body, and the first Rank 9 level of the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' also fully erupted, making his comprehension of the Map of Myriad Stars all the clearer.


    Time passed.


    "All talk and no practice, just looking doesn''t seem to bring deep comprehension," Li Yuan realized.


    He stood up, and a Black Chen Spear appeared in his hand, beginning to execute the Spear Technique in line with the many thoughts in his mind.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Long Spear moved like a dragon, drawing mysterious forces from heaven and earth, vaguely interweaving countless resplendent lights at the tip of the spear.


    "Not quite right."


    "It should be fiercer, my Spear Technique should be more ferocious," Li Yuan followed his own intuition, practicing his Spear Technique wholeheartedly, tirelessly integrating his many insights into the technique.


    Everything was for the sake of increasing the power of his Spear Technique.


    "The lad has started practicing the spear."


    "Wanting to defeat the elder brother isn''t easy. Three months? Can he make it?" the third and second warrior watched from a distance, as Li Yuan practiced the spear alone.


    As metal puppets, they lacked the ability to learn; their physical strength could change, but their skills could not.


    "Difficult!"


    "Becoming a Direct Disciple is inherently arduous." The third and second warrior both felt that Li Yuan had a very slim hope of becoming a Direct Disciple.


    Days passed by, one after another.


    Li Yuan kept training incessantly, and after just ten days,


    "What?"


    "This kid, he can fight to this extent with the elder brother? His growth is too fast." The third and second warrior were both somewhat astonished watching Li Yuan''s exchange with the number one warrior inside the hall.


    "Three months?"


    "With such a rate of progress, maybe in just one month, he might have the hope of defeating the elder brother."

 Chapter 251 Why Not Change the Shield? Li Yuans Path of Spear Technique (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    In the center of the Divine Palace, a space wide enough for hundreds of meters, large enough for two Prime Warriors at high levels to engage in a grand battle.And the entire Divine Palace was so solid that, no matter how they unleashed their explosive power, it wouldn''t cause the slightest damage to the Divine Pillars or the floor.


    "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"


    Li Yuan''s long spear in hand danced about, like several agile serpents soaring, fast and fierce, yet it didn''t cause much disturbance in the air, repeatedly slamming against the Golden Armored Warrior number one.


    Warrior number one held a huge combat saber in hand, its light fluttering and continuous, time and time again blocking the assaults of Li Yuan''s long spear.


    "His Spear Technique, amidst its unrelenting persistence, has gained an additional ferocity compared to two days ago, becoming even more unpredictable and fierce in attack," Warrior number one''s eyes were focused, fully committed to defending against the attacks from Li Yuan''s Spear Technique.


    On the first day of sparring with Li Yuan, he, relying on his own advantage in Sword Technique and by drawing upon a more formidable power from the heaven and earth, combined with superior Physical Quality, was able to suppress Li Yuan easily with absolute strength and speed!


    But as time passed...


    The second day, the third day... especially after the fifth day, Warrior number one felt the drastic changes in Li Yuan''s Spear Technique; it was no longer straightforward, becoming gradually more agile.


    The attacks became increasingly bizarre.


    "Previously, he was only focused on defense, trying to purely withstand and block my attacks," Warrior number one could sense clearly, "Now it seems, he is embarking on a new path with his Spear Technique."


    "Hmm, the pointers I gave on the fourth day seem to have been quite helpful to him," Warrior number one thought to himself.


    Although the change in Li Yuan''s Spear Technique wasn''t fully complete, a trend was already showing.


    "I still need to push him harder," Warrior number one pondered in secret.


    The three of them, as Golden Armored Warriors, were the final test''s Gatekeepers, but not merely that.


    They also undertook the task of ''actual combat sparring''.


    Guarding the gate was not the goal; how to make the challenger stronger, how to help them break through the obstacles more quickly... that was their true purpose.


    ...


    "Huff! Huff!"


    Inside Li Yuan, the Perfect Star Vein operated, with over eleven thousand Life Stars suddenly shining brightly... their vigorous rotation also made Li Yuan''s Spear Technique resonate more with the natural fluctuation of the world, and its might had greatly increased once again.


    The spear like rolling stars, one move seamlessly connected to another, amid the continuous flow of his Spear Technique now erupted with furious energy, making its might even more astonishing.


    Following another collision.


    Boom! Li Yuan was suddenly forced to retreat, but Warrior number one did not pursue.


    "Haha, thank you, Senior number one, for showing mercy," Li Yuan laughed heartily.


    "Li Yuan, lad, your Spear Technique has changed since yesterday, the attack is stronger, and I almost have to go full force to suppress you," Golden Armored Warrior number one also sheathed his combat saber, expressing his sentiment.


    "Hmm," Li Yuan smiled and nodded, feeling the other''s restraint in power.


    Except for the first day of their encounter when Golden Armored Warrior number one unleashed his full strength, allowing Li Yuan to experience his limit... every day thereafter, he only revealed strength that was just a bit stronger than Li Yuan''s.


    He was purely there to spar with him.


    "Impressive."


    "Haha, we can all see, Li Yuan, that even our big brother is having a tougher time defending against your Spear Technique."


    "Such rapid progress, truly envious."


    "Unlike us, having lived so long, there''s scarcely been any change in our skills," the other two Golden Armored Warriors couldn''t help but speak out.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh.


    At their first meeting, he thought the three Golden Armored Warriors were dull, but after more contact, he felt differently; their wisdom seemed quite high, and they were very talkative.


    They were like people who had been holding back for a long time, finally encountering someone and needing to vent thoroughly.


    In addition to practicing his Spear Technique,


    Li Yuan was also happy to interact with them.


    "Li Yuan, I don''t know if you''re on the right path with your Spear Technique," Golden Armored Warrior number one said, "After all, I''m just a puppet, I can only give you some advice; the cultivation of your skills ultimately depends on your own comprehension."


    "Even the great master only left the Map of Myriad Stars to provide you with some guidance, rather than telling you exactly how to walk each step," Warrior number one continued.


    "Understood."


    "But Senior was right that day, practicing the Spear Technique should follow my own heart," Li Yuan smiled and said.


    Li Yuan''s thoughts drifted back to the fourth day.


    Since the first day, he spars with Golden Armored Warrior number one for a long time each day to test what he has learned... but the progress and gains on the first three days were not too significant.


    Until the fourth day, after another round of sparring.


    At that time, Warrior number one finally voiced his uncertainty: "Li Yuan, you have high Comprehension and fast skill advancement, but your Spear Technique seems too rigidly fixed on one path, too focused on defense, and too intent on making the Spear Technique conform to the so-called core mysteries of ''Defense'' and ''Thickness'' of the Earth Vein."


    "But I wonder if your elders ever told you, the Earth Vein is not purely about defense."


    "Any Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything, the Earth Vein contains many True Intents... when furious, it can burst like the stars, when continuous, it rolls like magma, as thick as the boundless earth, with endless dead silence, and also the vitality that breeds everything."


    "And the Spear Technique should be more flexible and versatile, although you follow the Earth Vein towards the ''Law of Earth,'' you shouldn''t be so rigid."


    "The spear is not a shield."


    "If you truly love the path of defense so much, I think you could change weapons, like to a shield."


    "Why not change to a shield?"


    "Reaching the Fifth Stage Skill level, any weapon can fully display its power, but why do different experts choose different weapons? It''s because of what they love in their hearts."


    "The spear should lean towards offense," Warrior number one said quite seriously, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion, it might not be entirely correct, you can take it as a reference."


    At that moment, Boom!


    The words of Warrior number one.


    Especially that phrase ''Why not change to a shield?'', like a thunderclap in clear skies, instantly awakened Li Yuan, and also vaguely opened up countless thoughts in his heart.


    Indeed, his Spear Technique.


    It indeed had become a bit too rigid!


    From the very beginning, learning the "Solid Rock Spear Technique," to the "Stellar Spear Technique," and then to the "Meaning of the Stellar," those Spear Techniques, more or less, emphasized a defensive core.


    From the Spear Technique moves like "Solid Rock Pillar" and "Stellar Illumination," it could be seen, unknowingly, those Secret Manuals were also influencing Li Yuan''s inner choices.


    The secret manual guided him, and combined with Li Yuan''s own comprehension, it led to extremely rapid progress, so much so that the first True Intent Killing Move he created, ''Stellar Whirlpool,'' was biased towards defense.


    All along, this path Li Yuan walked felt very normal.


    But, was it correct?


    "Why did I choose Spear Technique at the beginning, instead of the sword and shield that most powerful warriors would opt for?" At that time, Li Yuan suddenly recalled the original purpose of practicing the spear as a youth, "Wasn''t it because I loved the spear''s fluidity and carefreeness?"


    "Even back in high school when I transitioned from boxing to spear, even before I encountered the ''Solid Rock Spear Technique,'' the first time I creatied a similar move on my own, it was more biased towards offense with the ''Dragon Hidden in the Rock Chasm.''


    The Earth Vein''s Laws and the Great Dao have no fixed shapes; defense is not the absolute core.


    But the core of Spear Technique must be offense.


    "Why didn''t I switch to a shield? Because my initial love was for the Spear Technique," Li Yuan realized at that moment.


    Pursuing the path of defense is not wrong.


    However, to blindly chase after an absolute defense in Spear Technique is to lose sight of the essence.


    "When did I start thinking this way?" S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "That''s it!"


    "From the time I entered the Fifth Stage Skill and began learning ''Solid Rock Spear Technique,'' and later ''Stellar Spear Technique,'' even up to ''Meaning of the Stellar,'' each step reinforced this mindset," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Yet whether it was Teacher Li Yang, or Dean Hai, or even the principal, none of them ever persuaded me against it."


    Li Yuan understood the reason.


    These teachers and seniors might not be oblivious.


    Especially Principal Fang Hai, who was on the threshold of the Law, could he be completely unaware?


    But why did they not try to advise him?


    Because his progress in skill was too rapid, to the point where not even top-tier geniuses like Dantai Feng could keep up... This made the elders hesitant to definitively say he was on the wrong path.


    If it were the wrong path, how could Spear Technique have advanced so terrifyingly if it was not in accord with his inner self?


    But in fact, it wasn''t that this path completely suited Li Yuan; it was because his talent in Spear Technique and Earth Vein was too high, and this terrifying talent only manifested more and more as he progressed.


    The Visualization Method of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace only strengthened his spiritual and willpower... but it couldn''t change his comprehension.


    "The Seven Star Civilization ultimately hasn''t been engaged in Martial Arts Cultivation and Life Evolution for long; many things are still in their infancy. Just like with cultivation above the Fifth Stage Skill... many seniors dare not give a broad direction for fear of misguiding, and the rest is up to one''s own discernment," Li Yuan pondered.


    "Therefore, since I''m still improving rapidly, that''s why the Principal, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others naturally let me practice on my own."


    "Number One Fighter may not have the same level of skill realm as Principal Fang Hai, but he follows a Divine Being and has a much higher perspective. He carries no burden regarding me in his heart. Even though he saw my rapid progress, he felt something was off about my path and spoke out directly."


    ...


    Therefore, from the fourth day after arriving at the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance Hall, Li Yuan completely awakened.


    "The spear has no fixed form, nor does the Law have a constant shape," Li Yuan murmured. "Spear Technique should be more adept in offense, not just pure defense."


    "The Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything and doesn''t dictate one must follow the path of defense."


    From that day on, Li Yuan truly changed.


    He picked up the long spear once again.


    He deliberately began to forget ''Stellar Spear Technique,'' forget ''Meaning of the Stellar,'' forget the many Second Rank and Third Rank secret manuals he learned in the ''Seven Star Civilization.''


    Everything started with practicing the spear according to his own heart.


    Just like in high school, after learning and mastering the basic spear moves, he trained entirely based on his own preferences... and then he fumbled upon the move ''Dragon Hidden in the Rock Chasm,'' which propelled him into the Third Stage Skill.


    The present Li Yuan.


    His spiritual power grew stronger, he had higher compatibility with the Earth Vein, his mind underwent multiple transformations... but the earnest love for Spear Technique that began in his youth never changed.


    "Observing the Myriad Stars Chart."


    "Practice the spear!"


    ...


    Today, after another sparring session with Number One Fighter.


    Li Yuan then ate and drank his fill.


    He had prepared these high-energy foods and water in his storage treasure well in advance before entering the Divine Palace ruins; he had an ample supply of them.


    In reality, the majority of a Prime Warrior''s energy comes from refining the Origin Power in nature; food and water are merely supplementary.


    Moreover, the Hall of Inheritance provided ''nutritional food'' so that the challenger wouldn''t starve.


    It''s just that the provided nutritional food tasted very bad.


    Then, Li Yuan returned to the enormous stone wall and began another observation and Spear Technique cultivation session


    Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh~


    The stars rolled like waves crashing against everything, bringing a sense of heaviness along with a hint of wildness and unrestrainedness, which dramatically increased the offensive might.


    "This is the Spear Technique my heart yearns for," Li Yuan revealed a faint smile, growing increasingly joyous.


    "In the past, I pursued the Mysteries of True Intent and stronger defense even more, but I somewhat lost sight of the true essence."


    "The Mysteries of True Intent are fine, or the profound mysteries of the universe''s motion for that matter, they should serve me, not the other way around."


    ...


    While Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue were in deep cultivation at the core of the Relic Divine Palace.


    Time passed day by day.


    The outside world, however, was already in turmoil.


    Within a war fortress of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, in a vast conference room, no less than ten figures gathered.


    "Gentlemen, I have just arrived here," a deep voice spoke up. "How long has Li Yuan been in the Divine Palace ruins?"


    He was a towering figure resembling a brown bear, donned in heavy metal armor, his hair unkempt, slightly disheveled, yet his overpowering aura made those nearby, like Yu Jinghai and others, feel somewhat suppressed.


    He was none other than the Seven Star Civilization''s greatest Prime Warrior of the present age, Lude Nef, from Feixing, who had more than one Flying Heaven Level Alien Race death on his hands.


    Everyone turned to look at him, then exchanged glances with each other.


    "Lude Nef," Wu Manong spoke slowly. "He''s been inside for fourteen days... still no news, and we can''t confirm whether he''s alive or dead."

 Chapter 252 Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)

    ```"Fourteen days? Not a whisper of news?"


    Lude Nef slightly furrowed his brows, "Why has the Blazing Flame Family been so adamant that ''Lin Lanyue'' is still alive?"


    He glanced towards Yanjun Ling and Flame Cloud Fox, who were beside him.


    It was the Blazing Flame Family who insisted that Lin Lanyue was definitely still alive.


    "Lude Nef," Flame Cloud Fox said in a low voice, "you should be aware that the bloodline of our Blazing Flame Family is not like that of ordinary people. It contains a trace of the ''Blazing Flame Bloodline''; those who can awaken it have a great chance of attaining the Flying Heaven Level by cultivating the ''Nirvana Divine Scripture''."


    Lude Nef nodded slightly, with Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe also listening.

    A common Prime Warrior might struggle greatly to awaken four Star Meridians, but these Bloodline Awakeners could very easily awaken to possess Five-Star Meridians ... becoming Flying Heaven Warriors is naturally effortless for them.


    "As for Lin Lanyue, her bloodline is even more special. After many tests by the family, the Demigod of Flame City affirmed that she held great promise within the Relic Divine Palace," said Flame Cloud Fox. "For this purpose, the Demigod even took out a special Secret Treasure ''Bloodline Token'' to ascertain her life or death."


    "Bloodline Tokens are rare in our family as well," Flame Cloud Fox added.


    His explanation was not very clear, such as what was special about Lin Lanyue.


    But it did explain the situation.


    "Before Li Yuan entered the Divine Palace ruins, did he not make any contingency plans?" Lude Nef frowned and looked at Wu Manong.


    "Some plans were made," Wu Manong said softly. "He even specially fortified for two extra days... But we could not restrict him; he is the actual strongest in the Worlds within Worlds."


    "If he wanted to venture into the Relic Divine Palace, could we have possibly stopped him?" Wu Manong asked.


    Lude Nef nodded slightly. A supreme genius himself, he naturally understood Li Yuan''s mindset.


    With such an opportunity ahead, how could one not take the risk?


    "Flame Cloud Fox, how long have members of your family stayed inside before emerging alive?" Lude Nef asked Flame Cloud Fox.


    "Those who awoke their bloodline, the longest was 22 days before they came out alive. Those without bloodline awakening, the longest was 7 days... As for someone like Li Yuan, a non-Fire System warrior, the longest was 5 days," Flame Cloud Fox said gravely.


    A hush fell over the room.


    They looked at each other in the meeting room, all picking up on Flame Cloud Fox''s subtext ¨C Li Yuan was very likely dead inside the Relic Divine Palace.


    After all, it was a world left behind by a Fire System Divine.


    "Gentlemen, don''t overthink it," Wu Manong spoke.


    "It''s only been 14 days, not 24 or 34," Wu Manong continued softly. "I have already reported to the upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance, and they have instructed us to continue waiting patiently...


    Currently, our Seven Star Alliance has over ten thousand First Rank warriors in the Worlds within Worlds and over two hundred Prime Warriors, having thoroughly scoured and seized control over the situation."


    "Moreover, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is still unaware of our specific arrangements. They do not know that Li Yuan has fallen into the Relic Divine Palace... so they should not dare to rashly send more people in," Wu Manong said.


    "We need not concern ourselves with Li Yuan''s life or death for now," Wu Manong stated somberly.


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Although they marveled at Li Yuan''s peerless talent, if he really died within the Relic Divine Palace, they would merely regret it for a moment.


    Throughout the history of the Seven Star Civilization, many geniuses have perished while adventuring through the myriad Star Realms.


    "What''s crucial now is our position in the Star Realm," Wu Manong said. "According to intelligence, the passage occupied by the Gu Yue Divine Palace is right at their newly established ''Outpost Number Four''."


    "The batch of Prime Warriors preparing to break through to become Flying Heaven Warriors have also reached the Outpost Number Four," he continued.


    "We," Wu Manong paused slightly, then said slowly, "are confirming if we should strike."


    Light flickered in everyone''s eyes.


    Indeed!


    Upon learning of the planned attack from Mintian Hou of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, along with several other Demigods, after deliberation, the high command of the Seven Star Civilization had issued an order - to attack!


    Not to defend passively, but to strike actively.


    To make a proactive assault!!


    Just as other Foreign Civilizations would attempt to infiltrate the Seven Star Civilization... The Seven Star Civilization would naturally strive to establish their own agents and spy networks within other civilizations.


    Even for a vast civilization like the Immortal Ruins Civilization, which faced no existential threats, internal strife was immensely intense... There were far too many Demigods willing to sell intelligence about Mintian Hou.


    Most of these intelligence-selling Demigods would have many ''Alien Race friends''.


    It was quite normal for friends to exchange intelligence resources.


    Now, the Seven Star Civilization had precise intelligence that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had dispatched eight Prime Warriors whose skills had achieved Fifth Stage Perfection and Sixth Stage, about to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    All had arrived at Outpost Number Four.


    "Jian Shi, Dorothy, have both of you consolidated your realms completely?" Lude Nef suddenly asked, looking towards two figures standing at the end of the meeting room.


    "We have consolidated them," they replied.


    "We are ready to join the battle at any time," Jian Shi and Dorothy said in turn.


    The two of them were recently dispatched by the Seven Star Alliance and had volunteered to break through to become Flying Heaven Warriors in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    "For the sacrifices you''ve made," Lude Nef sighed lightly.


    "Haha, what''s there to mind about permanently residing in the Fierce Feather Star Realm? It''s no trouble," Jian Shi laughed. "I''ve long been prepared for this."


    "In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, we''ll be the bosses from now on. That''s pretty good, living freely and unrestrainedly," Dorothy also said with a smile. "Besides, there''s a breeding area here, and the whole Star Realm is vast... Not boring to live out an entire lifetime here."

 Chapter 252 Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)_2

    Both of them were very calm.Now, among the ten people in this meeting room, besides the original six, two Prime Warrior prodigies, Lude Nef and An Yongya, had arrived.


    As well as two newly promoted Flying Heaven Warriors, Jian Shi and Dorothy.


    In total, ten Flying Heaven level combat strengths.


    "Good,"


    "To avoid any unexpected complications, let''s set off tonight. Over ten thousand kilometers, we can reach our destination within a day,"


    "Given the speed of a Prime Warrior''s breakthrough, it''s unlikely to be completed in just a day or two, let alone to cultivate Star Techniques to a higher rank, our combat strength is at its lowest ebb,"


    "And this base is just a forward outpost of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom; their technology weapons are pretty average," Lude Nef said solemnly, "An Yongya, Fierce Cloud Fox, the two of you stay behind, everyone else follows me."


    "Make all the preparations," Lude Nef''s gaze swept over them as he continued solemnly, "In a word, the first battle is the decisive battle, a single fight will determine the fate."


    "Yes!"


    "Understood," everyone responded solemnly; they all knew how crazy this plan was.


    Eight Flying Heaven level combat forces, of which five were Prime Warrior prodigies and three were Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Thousands of miles for a strike!!


    "As long as we kill off their batch of reserve Flying Heaven Warriors, it will take Gu Yue Divine Kingdom a long time to muster up so many people again," Yu Jinghe''s eyes flickered with killing intent.


    Reserve Prime Warriors? Any civilization can present many, like this time fighting for the World within Worlds, both civilizations easily mobilized hundreds, and that was just a fraction of their forces.


    But reserve Flying Heaven Warriors? Their numbers are much fewer.


    As for Lude Nef, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, who are Prime Warriors at the Sixth Stage? They are even considered top prodigies, with each fall causing their respective powers great distress.


    It can be said.


    This surprise attack plan orchestrated by the Seven Star Civilization, sending six top prodigies at once, is very risky.


    But that is an indispensable step on the road for every weak civilization to rise... whether it be the exalted Demigods or the lower Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors.


    Prodigies? When it comes to critical moments, they must also step forward to fight.


    That night.


    Eight powerful beings with Flying Heaven level strength had already left the war base quietly, heading for a region thousands of miles away that was occupied by Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Flying Heaven Warriors can fly through the skies and travel underground on their own.


    Prime Warriors, if they control the True Intent of heaven and earth, can also travel through the sky with the help of the power of heaven and earth.


    ...


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm is quite desolate, with not many precious resources.


    Therefore, although there have been invasions by several Foreign Civilizations, the only one that has amassed a significant force and established a reproductive area is the Seven Star human civilization, and this reproductive area is actually promoted by the ''Demigod of Flame City''... whereas countries like Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have only established a few outposts.


    After all, with no valuable resources to gain, why keep Flying Heaven level powerhouses stationed here permanently?


    Nineteen hours later, three proud suns hung above the earth, and their crimson light enveloped the land.


    The ''Outpost Number Four'' of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    This outpost base, which is directly controlled by ''Mintian Hou'', used to be unremarkable... but recently, the whole base is under continuous expansion and construction, with more aircraft arriving.


    A busy scene of construction.


    Suddenly¡ª


    In the sky above the base, numerous twisted light rays returned to normal, and immediately afterward, seven formidable figures appeared, standing in the air with radiant light shining all over their bodies, as dazzling as Heavenly Divines.


    In an instant.


    "Beep~" At this moment, the war fortress, towering a hundred meters, suddenly sounded an alarm, with frantic blaring, and at the same time, everyone from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom inside the base received a warning¡ªFlying Heaven assault.


    "It''s Flying Heaven Warriors."


    "Human-shaped! They are Flying Heaven Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization, seven of them, be careful."


    "Whoosh!"


    "Boom!" "Boom!" Almost instantly, Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s entire outpost base erupted, with numerous weapon ports emerging, and countless kinetic energy weapons began to automatically attack.


    They rained down towards the sky.


    "Dada dada~" "Da!!" Around the war base, similarly, hidden ''fortresses'' emerged, attacking from all directions.


    The war erupted in an instant.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!" "Kill!" In the high sky, Wu Manong, Tavares, Abbott, Jian Shi and other powerful beings exploded with energy, instantly drawing Origin Power, the power of heaven and earth, their speed far exceeding the speed of sound in a flash.


    They dove towards the ground below.


    "Rumble~" The earth roared, the ground cracked, and one after another, the peripheral weapons towers were uprooted and collapsed... The explosion of Flying Heaven level combat strength was not something ordinary technology weapons could withstand.


    Most automatic weapons couldn''t even aim properly.


    Even if some technological weapons could attack the Flying Heaven Warriors atop... with the protection of strong Origin Power and the Origin Power Battle Suit, it was hard to inflict fatal damage on them.


    "Rumble~" Above the war fortress, the towering main weapon tower, tens of meters tall, was violently torn apart, countless pieces of steel fell, and smoke filled the air... Terrifying figures were wreaking havoc at will.


    "Kill!"


    "Destroy all the weapon towers first!"


    "Kill all the personnel that can be killed, all of them," Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and Wu Manong were utterly ruthless, slaughtering wildly. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It wasn''t that they were bloodthirsty.


    But in the struggle between civilizations, life and death, no one could spare any efforts.


    Just like before, Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s surprise attack caused heavy casualties on the Seven Star Alliance''s side.


    Now, under a surprise attack as well, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s side had virtually no power to resist, and the casualties were bound to reach an astonishing level.


    Suddenly¡ª

 Chapter 252 Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)_3

    ```Boom! Numerous figures burst forth from the earth, shooting up into the sky; they were ablaze with dazzling light, their momentum as unstoppable as a rainbow. Witnessing the scene at the war base, they were filled with rage: "Seven Star Civilization, you''re courting death!"


    "How dare you?"


    "A weak Fourth Level Civilization dares to provoke us? They must be exterminated!"


    "Slaughter them all." The five great Flying Heaven Level powerhouses from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were furious, most of them having just recently broken through.


    They immediately took action, attempting to stop Yu Jinghe and Wu Manong from their bloody slaughter.


    Silently.


    "Swoosh!" Suddenly, a brilliant blade light appeared from the darkness, splitting the heavens and earth in two in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon a Flying Heaven Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Eerie!


    Unpredictable!


    Irresistible!


    "Not good." A Flying Heaven Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was shocked and angry, immediately swinging his weapon, a war hammer emanating dazzling light, trying to block this abrupt and eerie blade light.


    "Boom~"


    The horrific collision of the two great warriors'' weapons generated an astonishing shock wave that exploded in all directions, sending the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s Flying Heaven Warrior flying backward.


    His blood churned within him, and he couldn''t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    "I survived?" The thought had just flashed through his mind, accompanied by a sense of relief.


    "Be careful!" A cry of alarm rang out.


    Splurt~


    Another stroke of blade light burst out unexpectedly from behind him, instantly sweeping over his head. The terrifying power contained within the blade light erupted, creating countless splinters of light, instantly tearing the body of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom''s Flying Heaven Warrior to pieces.


    Dead!


    "Ah!"


    "Dorudos."


    "Damn Seven Star people." The other Flying Heaven Warriors'' eyes turned bloodshot.


    Only then did they get a clear look.


    In the void, there was an illusionary, robust figure with messy hair; his eyes were cold. The man stood there, his hands gripping a giant combat saber, looking every bit the War God.


    Hum~


    Silently, the robust figure vanished in an instant, the air trembling faintly¡ªa stealth in the void.


    "It''s the Sixth Layer Star Technique ''Wind Shadow''!"


    "It''s Lude Nef from the Seven Star Civilization."


    "Run." The remaining four Flying Heaven Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom turned pale, immediately realizing who the newcomer was.


    ...


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan, residing in the deepest part of the World within Worlds, was unaware of the all-out war that had erupted within the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    He was still patiently practicing, on the sixteenth day since he had entered.


    Inside the Hall of Inheritance.


    "Rumble!"


    Li Yuan, with the Black Chen Spear in hand, displayed fierce and powerful spear techniques, erupting like a volcano, extremely formidable, as he fought with the first Golden Armored Warrior.


    "The Meaning of the Stellar, seamless and perfect, is capable of encompassing and withstanding everything at the right time." The spear techniques Li Yuan used had lost much of their heaviness and continuity.


    Instead, it was wild!


    "But the Stellar Spear also has an explosively aggressive side, to shatter all enemies before it." Li Yuan was completely following his own heart to use the "Meaning of the Stellar" as taught by the Bai Shan Semi-Divine, which wasn''t entirely suitable for him.


    The comprehension of True Intent was right there.


    It was contained in the mysterious movements of heaven and earth, accessible to anyone''s understanding and deductions... But how far one can take the Mysteries of True Intent depends entirely on the individual.


    Some who are skilled with shields will comprehend Defense Techniques.


    Those adept in swordsmanship or with a long spear tend to have moves more inclined toward offense.


    Those who use both sword and shield, or spear shield, often find their techniques more balanced.


    Among the Seven Star Civilization, several Semi-Divine beings cultivate the Earth Vein, but only Bai Shan Semi-Divine was able to describe the Stellar True Intent fairly completely in the form of a Secret Manual.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine excelled in defense, so the Secret Manual he compiled naturally showed this inclination.


    "Stellar."


    "Its attacks, though not as scorching as blazing fire, that massive and expansive nature, once rolling forth in all its majesty, is also most terrifying." Li Yuan was inspired by the first warrior.


    Over this half month, he contemplated the Map of Myriad Stars again.


    Staying in this Hall of Inheritance, he had no distractions... For Li Yuan, this was the best environment he had ever had to practice his spear techniques.


    The most pure training environment.


    The more he practiced, the more exhilarated Li Yuan felt, driven purely by the pursuit of the limits of spear technique, aiming for an even more carefree heart.


    "This Li Yuan''s spear technique is getting more and more ferocious and fierce."


    "He''s progressing so fast." The first Golden Armored Warrior was increasingly astonished as they sparred today: "At this rate, could it be that even this body of mine is barely able to restrain him now?"


    This golden armor was not his true body, but merely a projection of his consciousness.


    In the past, he had encountered many Martial Path geniuses. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even the disciples of the divine had crossed his path... But the first warrior had to admit, such a terrifying rate of skill advancement was something he had never heard of before.


    Suddenly.


    In another collision during their exchange, Li Yuan''s long spear thrust forward abruptly, activating the power of heaven and earth to form hundreds of illusory spear shadows, like a star exploding, an overwhelmingly terrifying power that enveloped the first Golden Armored Warrior.


    "What?"


    "To invoke the power of heaven and earth to such an extent?" The first Golden Armored Warrior''s eyes lit up: "Has he broken through?"


    From the Fifth Stage Initial Rank, one''s moves gradually carry the power of heaven and earth, becoming more and more forceful.


    But to directly use the power of heaven and earth to form spear shadows and such phenomena? That is an extremely high realm.


    Therefore, with the eyesight of the first Golden Armored Warrior, he instantly deduced¡ªLi Yuan had made a breakthrough.


    After half a month of practicing in the Hall of Inheritance, Li Yuan''s spear technique had finally undergone a qualitative change from quantitative change.


    "Boom!"


    The techniques of the first warrior also changed instantly, from fierce to flowing and expansive, even causing faint sounds of trickling water to appear in the void.


    ```

 Chapter 252 Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)_4

    His sword technique, likewise, invoked an astonishing strength of heaven and earth and had truly reached the state of ''technique approaching the Way, summoning heaven and earth, displaying worldly phenomena''."Clang!" "Clang!"


    "Clang clang clang clang!" Sword light and spear shadows collided time and again, and despite the long spear''s fierce ferocity, it was completely countered by the flowing water-like sword light.


    However, the number one warrior did not pursue defeating Li Yuan, purely on the defensive.


    "He''s actually forced big brother to break limits."


    "He''s passed the test."


    "Just half a month, eh." Both the third and second Golden Armored Warriors were quite astonished and sighed.


    Their true bodies were extremely terrifying in strength, and their skill realms were also very high... The bodies they had split off were only a minimal part of their true selves, with limited contained power.


    As gatekeepers, the level of skills they could display was similarly restricted.


    Forcing the number one Golden Armored Warrior to use power and sword technique beyond his limits... had already signified that Li Yuan met the requirements for becoming a ''direct disciple'' of the Earth System Divine.


    "Li Yuan must have had an enlightenment."


    "Big brother probably wants to let him not waste the effect of the sudden enlightenment, sparring with him in training." The two Golden Armored Warriors discerned their elder brother''s thoughts.


    ...


    "Yes!"


    "This is the feeling, truly comfortable."


    "This is the ''Stellar Spear Technique'' that truly suits me, crushing all, endlessly violent. In the past, my spear technique lacked this kind of directness, this utter strength that crushes everything." Li Yuan''s heart was extremely pleased.


    With a sudden enlightenment, countless insights surged into his mind, making his spear technique faster and more terrifying by the moment.


    Everything progressed according to his will.


    And in the place unbeknownst to Li Yuan, hints flickered across the Divine Palace panel.


    "[Your Spear Technique skill has advanced from 59% at the Fifth Stage to 60% at the Fifth Stage]" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    "[Your Spear Technique skill has advanced from 63% at the Fifth Stage to 64% at the Fifth Stage]"


    "[Your Spear Techni...]"


    ...


    The battle between Li Yuan and the number one Golden Armored Warrior.


    After over two hours of fighting, Li Yuan had almost fully integrated his past understanding of the nature''s mystery into his spear technique.


    More than two hours later, Li Yuan finally came back to his senses and stopped.


    "Haha, elder number one, thank you." Li Yuan felt freely elated, smiling at the number one Golden Armored Warrior.


    The moment he fully regained his senses, he understood that without the patient sparring of the number one Golden Armored Warrior, his progress from the enlightenment would not have been so significant.


    Nor would it have been possible to create the second True Intent Killing Move.


    Subconsciously,


    Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: Level 26 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 441,000 kilograms


    Speed: 262 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: Level 32.9


    Willpower: Level 33


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 40% (Current upper limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: Level 18 (Training efficiency 10+2+1+1)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 72%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 72%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" (First Rank Level 9: Level 9)


    ...


    "A sudden enlightenment breakthrough has brought my Spear Technique to 72% at the Fifth Stage." Li Yuan marveled inwardly.


    Among those of the Fifth Stage High Rank, that was not considered weak.


    In half a month, he had progressed from 40% to 72% at the Fifth Stage, a speed that was simply unimaginable... If some of the geniuses from the top ten of virtual battles were here, it would probably take them several years to reach such a level.


    Of course, Li Yuan also understood that the training conditions he had during this time were incomparable to others.


    Today''s enlightenment was even something many people may never encounter.


    "Mastering the second True Intent Killing Move," Li Yuan''s eyes shone: "Even if I were to encounter some Top Grade Origin Martial Artists with 85% Fifth Stage Technique, based solely on skill, I might not be weaker than them."


    The level of skill represents the level of one''s understanding of nature.


    True Intent Killing Moves, on the other hand, are about techniques that cannot be quantified.


    "It was your own enlightenment, I only did what I had to do," the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile from not far away.


    His smile was radiant.


    Immediately, the number one Golden Armored Warrior looked towards numbers two and three.


    The two Golden Armored Warriors understood their big brother''s intention.


    The next second,


    All three Golden Armored Warriors simultaneously bowed in respect: "Congratulations, young master, we celebrate young master for passing on the legacy test and becoming a Divine Disciple."


    "I''ve passed the test?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    He had not realized that the number one Golden Armored Warrior had just ''broken limits''.


    "Young master, I have already notified Gu You, the War God," the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile: "Hoping that the young master will soon achieve Demigod status and lead us to emerge in the world once again."


    Whoosh¡ª The three Golden Armored Warriors had already turned into countless streams of golden liquid, merging into the ground.


    Silently,


    The seemingly real and illusory young girl in white, barefooted, had already appeared in mid-air, curiously looking at Li Yuan.


    "It seems, I underestimated you, giving you three months, yet in just half a month your Spear Technique has undergone such transformation." The girl showed her small fangs and had a trace of a smile: "Your comprehension is much higher than I imagined."


    "Really nice."


    "Gu You, senior," Li Yuan remained respectful.


    "What senior? Call me sister," the girl frowned.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "What, you don''t wish to take me as your master?" The girl fixed her large eyes on Li Yuan.


    "Of course, I am willing."


    "Then that settles it, call me sister!"

 Chapter 253 Divine Legacy (Additional Release 42, Monthly Ticket Please!!)

    "Sister!" Li Yuan was always aware of what was appropriate."That''s more like it." The girl''s smile became even more radiant. "Say it a few more times."


    "Sister! Sister!" Li Yuan said without hesitation, for once people break their limits, they continue to break them.


    Until they have none left.


    "Good." The girl''s eyes narrowed into slits, and she found Li Yuan growing more pleasing to the eye.


    All of a sudden,


    The girl sighed, "Since the death of father''s disciples, it has been nearly ten thousand years since I heard the title ''sister''."


    "Ten thousand years?" Li Yuan held his breath. That was an exceptionally long time.


    Discounting some of the unverifiable historical legends, the entire history of the Seven Star Civilization is only about five thousand years.


    "Come, let''s complete the apprenticeship ceremony first." The girl revealed her small canine teeth and looked at Li Yuan. "Father''s direct disciple... Hehe! Father finally has a disciple again."


    She then walked toward the enormous and majestic throne at the end of the temple.


    Li Yuan immediately followed.


    During the more than ten days prior, when he sparred with the three Golden Armored Warriors, he was not allowed to approach the area near the throne.


    This time, as he followed Gu You to the base of the throne.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan''s pupils shrank.


    Whoosh~ The once silent majestic throne suddenly burst into a brilliant golden light that filled the entire Hall of Inheritance as if it was enveloped in endless golden radiance.


    Right after that, the girl pointed from afar.


    Without sound or sign, countless golden lights converged, forming an enormous phantom atop the majestic throne.


    It was a humanoid creature, sitting at a height of dozens of meters, clothed in earthy yellow Combat Armor, its skin almost stone-like without a single hair, and at first glance, resembled a rock giant. It too had arms and legs... and it exuded an aura of utmost supremacy.


    This powerful presence made Li Yuan catch his breath.


    It was too strong, undoubtedly the most powerful being Li Yuan had ever seen... Even though it was just a phantom left by Divine Sense, the oppression it radiated was probably even beyond the Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    This was a Divine Being.


    "My daughter." The colossal phantom as if coming to life, its gaze fell upon the girl in white, eyes filled with tenderness.


    "Father." The girl who was just giggling, looked at the figure with tears barely visible in her eyes.


    It had been too long.


    She almost couldn''t remember how long it had been since she last saw her father''s figure.


    "Father, your daughter has fulfilled her duty and chosen the first direct disciple." The girl pointed at Li Yuan beside her, her voice more serious than ever. "Li Yuan, step forward to pay your respects as my disciple."


    "Yes."


    Li Yuan was unable to tell if the colossal phantom was a remnant left by the Divine Being or if it truly contained a part of the Divine Being''s consciousness... The methods of Divine Beings are unfathomable.


    Experience more tales on empire


    He respectfully knelt on the ground and bowed deeply. "Disciple Li Yuan, greets Master."


    Although the other had passed away,


    Since he had chosen to accept the inheritance, he naturally had to engrave the grace of being taught in his heart, bowing to his master, Li Yuan also did so with genuine acceptance.


    Thump~ Thump~ Thump~ Li Yuan bowed respectfully three times.


    As he bowed for the third time,


    "A disciple of Ancient Torch?" The giant figure upon the golden throne smiled, looking down at Li Yuan as if it could truly see him. "My student, I''ve been gone for who knows how long, and I don''t expect you to do anything specific, I have no particular demands."


    "Just one thing, take good care of your sister."


    Immediately after, the giant figure pointed toward Li Yuan, and a stream of golden light flew from his fingertip, directly descending upon Li Yuan''s forehead.


    Boom!


    His soul thundered, and even with Li Yuan''s strong spiritual power, he felt dazed at this moment. The golden light that rushed toward him contained an ocean of information, quickly transmitting into his soul.


    It swiftly integrated into his memory, intermingling with countless other memories.


    The Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" for the first six ranks... The Ninefold Star Technique "All Things Divine Body" for the first six ranks... The Seventh Layers Star Technique "Great Earth Divine Body"... The Fifth Layers Star Technique "Stellar Mysterious Body"... The Seventh Layers Star Technique "Ninefold Astral Void"...


    One after another, powerful and complete Star Techniques.


    Were directly transmitted to Li Yuan.


    Each of these Star Techniques were paths leading to the Divine Level, incredibly precious. Many a Star Technique could drive countless Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods mad... This was the Divine Being Inheritance.


    If the Divine Being were alive, he might not trust to pass on so many powerful Star Techniques to his disciples.


    But since he had died, then naturally, all such Star Techniques and treasures would be left to his Successor.


    Every powerful Star Technique, especially those from the later stages, were exceedingly fearsome, and the information pertaining to their cultivation was vast and complex, particularly with respect to the Semi Divine Level and Divine Level... The knowledge was vast and profound.


    Luckily, Li Yuan was already at the Flying Heaven Level of spiritual power. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If he were merely a Prime Warrior, he would not be able to directly bear so much inheritance information. Even so, it would take Li Yuan at least an entire day to fully absorb all the information.


    Li Yuan closed his eyes, silently receiving it.


    At this moment, he couldn''t afford to be distracted by anything else.


    On the side.


    "The Light of Inheritance."


    "Father''s life''s work... before his passing, he left only three such remnants." The girl''s eyes still showed a trace of tears, her feelings complicated, with a hint of resolve. "Father, I will surely train Li Yuan well."


    "If he doesn''t suffice, I''ll screen for a second, and then a third direct disciple."


    "When the time comes, when Li Yuan has become a Divine Being... I will surely make him reclaim everything." The girl pledged silently in her heart. "With that token, there''s great hope."


    She was referred to as the War God by the Golden Armored Warriors, an indeed terrifying presence.


    And in her heart, the Ancient Torch Divine was the true heaven.

 Chapter 253 Divine Legacy (Additional Release 42, Monthly Ticket Please!!)_2

    She was the custodian of her spiritual refuge.The death of the Ancient Torch Divine was for her no different than the sky collapsing.


    That war was incredibly brutal.


    Ultimately, as the Ancient Torch Divine lay dying, he entrusted the Hall of Inheritance, which he had prepared in advance, to the Fire System Divine trusted most under his command, desperately sending him away.


    In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years passed, the girl knew nothing of the outside world, unaware of the final outcome of that great battle of gods... She simply followed her father''s last wishes, hiding in this part of the Star Realm.


    Until a hundred years ago.


    Only when she felt that the Star Realm had completely stabilized, and that Divines could no longer descend, did she dare to truly emerge and begin choosing a successor, until today.


    "Just Second Rank, huh." The girl looked at Li Yuan.


    Still weak, but with unlimited potential.


    She patiently waited beside Li Yuan until his memory fully fused with the light of inheritance.


    ...


    As Li Yuan received the inheritance, the Fierce Feather Star Realm was in constant battle, war raging everywhere.


    The Seven Star Civilization and the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom fought fiercely.


    About two thousand miles from the fourth outpost base of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Atop a vast mountain range.


    A towering figure over ten meters tall, with a body shining like gold as if a giant, wielding two massive shields.


    He stood in the void, his presence overwhelming, his gigantic eyes scanning the four corners of the void, faintly burning with flames.


    Suddenly¡ª


    Boom!


    A strange knife light appeared silently behind him, unpredictable and mysterious, with strands of greenish air currents flowing within the blade light, stealthily assaulting the towering golden figure.


    "Rumble~"


    As if the golden giant had eyes on his back, he swiftly turned around. Instead of trying to block the knife light, he swung the two enormous shields in his hands like giant palms, violently clapping them together at the figure behind the blade light.


    "Puchi~" The knife light swept across the chest of the golden giant, its shocking penetrative power instantly slicing through the Origin Power Battle Suit, then leaving behind a startling torn wound on the golden giant''s chest.


    Yet, that wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    "Pong~" The two massive shields also fiercely hit the disheveled-haired figure. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At first glance, it seemed like swatting a mosquito, attempting to crush Lude Nef outright.


    Boom! Lude Nef took the ferocious hit head-on, then with all his strength erupting, he broke free from the restraints of the two shields and burst backward fiercely.


    "Pretty tough, huh." The golden figure spoke in a deep voice, "Lude Nef, you are indeed very strong, I can''t do anything to you, but I have cultivated the ''Myriad Gold Divine Body'' to the Second Order Limit, earning the title of an ''Undying Body''... You can''t kill me."


    "Hmph!" Lude Nef''s gaze was icy, staring fixedly at the golden figure.


    In terms of skill level, he was much better than his opponent.


    But Martial Artists can often only cultivate two Star Techniques, even those top-tier geniuses.


    Thus, top-tier geniuses were also destined to have their own strengths.


    Like Lude Nef, what he cultivated were the "Wind Shadow," a Sixth Layer Star Technique, and the "Blood Eroding Wind Blade," a Fifth Layer Star Technique; when combined, alongside the ''True Meaning of Shadowlessness'' he had comprehended from the Wind Vein.


    It made him an extremely terrifying assassin in both Stealth and attack, causing countless opponents to dread him.


    Many Flying Heaven level of the Alien Race had been one-shot killed by him.


    The Flying Heaven level assassin ''Dark Shadow'' from the Tianliang Clan, who was targeted by Fang Hai''s schemes¡ªif faced head-on, might not even be a match for Lude Nef.


    However.


    Even a master like Lude Nef had his nemesis, and the golden giant before him was just that... Ao Jia!


    He, too, was a Sixth Stage skill master and a Prime Warrior prodigy with immense fame within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Ao Jia cultivated the Seven Stars Technique "Myriad Gold Divine Body," a famous technique of Dongfang Ji that effectively combined body protection, defense, and explosive power and speed in one formidable Star Technique.


    Now, the two sides clashed.


    No matter how desperately Lude Nef kept attacking, he could not inflict a fatal wound.


    Ao Jia''s ability to protect himself was considered inconceivable among the Second Rank.


    "Lude Nef, let''s end the battle here," Ao Jia''s voice boomed, "Although you''ve lost two men, you''ve also slaughtered many... you''ve already taken great advantage."


    "The demigods of our Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have already said they wish to settle the dispute and share control of the World within Worlds equally, how about it?" Ao Jia tempted. Continue your saga on empire


    "Dream on!" Lude Nef''s voice was filled with rage, "If we were all Flying Heaven Warriors, you would definitely die by my blade."


    "Pity we are but Prime Warriors," Ao Jia laughed, "Or do you plan to break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the Fierce Feather Star Realm?"


    Lude Nef''s gaze was ice-cold.


    In the entire Fierce Feather Star Realm, except for the great opportunity offered by the World within Worlds, there were hardly any other treasures, and Prime Warriors couldn''t enter the World within Worlds... such top-level geniuses naturally wouldn''t break through in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    That would be self-destructive to their future prospects.


    Two days ago, Lude Nef and the other eight Flying Heaven-level forces ambushed and dealt a devastating blow to the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom... but the forces of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom counterattacked swiftly.


    Up to this point, both sides had suffered considerable casualties.


    "When it comes to treasures left by the divine, you can''t defend them," Ao Jia spoke gravely, "Our passage is over ten thousand kilometers away from your breeding areas."


    "Yet it is only a few hundred kilometers from our main base... You may have won the surprise attack this time, but you can''t hold it, you will have to retreat sooner or later."


    Lude Nef watched silently.


    Indeed, the distance was a severe disadvantage... it was almost impossible for the Seven Star Civilization to occupy the second passage.


    After a long while.


    Lude Nef finally chose to retreat, and only then did the golden giant in the void breathe a sigh of relief.


    "Truly terrifying."


    "This Lude Nef, if we talk about strength, could almost be regarded as a Divine Child Level Genius within the Divine Kingdom," Ao Jia muttered secretly.


    Prime Warriors recognized as Divine Child Level in the entire Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were only two or three.


    Ao Jia, whether in terms of strength or potential, was inferior to the other.


    "And that Yu Jinghe, his strength is so much more formidable than the intelligence reports," Ao Jia recalled the recent major battle.


    If it weren''t for Yu Jinghe suddenly unleashing a power nearly equal to Lude Nef''s direct combat strength.


    The Seven Star Civilization would have lost more than just two men.


    "Let''s head back, rebuild the base first, and then prepare for the next attack," Ao Jia''s body rapidly shrank, turning into a streak of light shooting up into the sky.


    ...


    In the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.


    "Damn it!"


    "The mixed scum of the Seven Star Civilization actually dared to launch a surprise attack," Mintian Hou roared furiously as he looked at the casualty report in his hands, nearly driven mad with anger.


    This time around, of the 10 prepared Flying Heaven Warriors they gathered, eight perished.


    Only two remained.


    If it weren''t for him receiving the message and immediately contacting a large number of demigods from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to urgently dispatch a number of super-genius warriors into the Fierce Feather Star Realm to block Lude Nef, the situation could have become irrevocably dire.


    Even so, the power in the hands of their four demigods had temporarily lost the possibility of mounting a frontal assault.


    "We must report to the clan," Mintian Hou''s gaze narrowed as his heart bled.

 Chapter 254 The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    ```If there had been other choices, Mintian Hou would definitely not have reported to his clan. If he had led the operation himself, he could have kept the lion''s share of the profits once successful.


    For what was at stake was a relic left by a Fire System Divine, imbued with the hope of attaining divinity.


    Once he reported to his clan? As the clan mobilized its powerful forces, his final gains would be pitiably small.


    You get as much as you give, an unchanged truth since ancient times.


    Most crucial of all, Mintian Hou''s relationship with his clan was not good; otherwise, he would not have come to the distant Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to set roots and establish his own fief.


    In the Immortal Ruins Civilization, among numerous countries and sects, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was quite ordinary.


    In the entire Immortal Ruins Civilization, those truly at the summit were the few great Immortal Sect Divine Races.


    Mintian Hou was from one such powerful Divine Race.


    But now, Mintian Hou had no choice; the forces he could mobilize had been greatly diminished... The remaining forces were not capable of contending with the Seven Star Civilization anymore.


    With that thought,


    Read new chapters at empire


    Whoosh!


    Mintian Hou waved his hand, and a strange instrument the size of a table appeared in front of him. A wisp of Demigod Origin Power flew out and entered the instrument. Quickly, the instrument began to glow faintly.


    Whoosh~ The instrument emitted a vast amount of light that formed a huge projection screen above.


    The projection was pitch-black.


    As time ticked away, Mintian Hou waited patiently. After more than ten minutes,


    Buzz~ With a flicker in the projection, the figure of an elder appeared.


    His stature was tall as well, clothed in heavy armor. The most eye-catching feature was the dark red horn on top of his head, which was similar to Mintian Hou''s.


    Based on appearance alone, they were of the same race.


    "Mintian Hou, it''s been a long time." The elder with the horn spoke indifferently, his voice carrying a sense of estrangement.


    "Great-Uncle." Mintian Hou suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed slightly.


    "You flatter me." The elder responded coolly.


    "Great-Uncle, I was wrong before." Mintian Hou lowered his head, his voice gloomy, "This time I''m contacting the clan because there''s a great opportunity for which I''d like the clan''s support."


    "Great opportunity?" The elder''s eyes narrowed slightly, "Speak."


    "A force under my command, while exploring a part of the Star Realm, accidentally discovered a Fire System Divine relic, but it coincides with another Fourth Level Civilization - the ''Seven Star Civilization''...


    My initial plan was to secure a preliminary occupation before reporting to the clan." Mintian Hou whispered, "But now the Seven Star Civilization is arrogant, I hope the clan can provide some resources."


    The elder revealed a smile of unfathomable depth without showing any emotion.


    He had lived for hundreds of years. How could he not understand Mintian Hou''s true intentions?


    Report to the clan after securing a preliminary occupation? Nonsense. If Mintian Hou could occupy it on his own strength, the clan would probably never receive the news.


    Mintian Hou was merely seeking assistance.


    But the horned elder wouldn''t expose his thoughts. After all, there was such a great benefit at stake... oh no, after all, they were kin.


    A Fire System Divine treasure!


    "Chi Jisa." The horned elder spoke warmly, "When you were promoted to Demigod, I believe I was the one who presided over your initiation ceremony. More than a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye."


    Chi Jisa was Mintian Hou''s real name. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Great-Uncle has always treated me well since I was young." Mintian Hou seized the opportunity to agree.


    Since he was young? They had met for the first time when Mintian Hou reached the Flying Heaven Level.


    "I''ve always believed in your character, your previous issue must have been sabotaged by others." The elder showed a gentle smile, "I will order an investigation to clarify. Now that you have found a Fire System Divine relic but still wish to report to the clan, it shows that you care about the clan''s interests; really commendable."


    "Great-Uncle overpraises." Mintian Hou said earnestly.


    "Hmm."


    "Wait a moment, I will send you a ''Civilization Contract''. After you sign it, send back all the intelligence you have gathered. The clan will provide the greatest support according to the situation." The horned elder stated, "Once successful, 10% of the treasures from the Divine relics will belong to you."


    "Of course, if the forces at your disposal can still play a significant role, your share can appropriately be increased. How about that?" the horned elder said.


    "I have no objections. Contributing to the clan is my duty." Mintian Hou''s face was filled with smiles, yet his heart was bleeding.


    10%?


    Originally, he should have received more than 50%.


    Of course, Mintian Hou wasn''t worried that the horned elder would even encroach on the 10%... A Civilization Contract was set by the most supreme beings of the Immortal Ruins Civilization. Once publicly signed, it had to be followed.


    If it came to that,


    To the entire clan, a relic left by a Fire System Divine was precious, but not worth compromising the whole clan''s reputation.


    Before an agreement between the two parties, the clan elders might squeeze him, but once the agreement was set... they would definitely honor it.


    A person stands by their word,


    A clan is built on its rules.


    The Chi Divine Race had stood tall in the Immortal Ruins Civilization for tens of thousands of years, allowing members like Mintian Hou to trust the clan even after leaving it and to contact them in the first instance, confident the clan would not cheat him... Of course, it had its own set of operational rules.


    Time passed.


    Mintian Hou quickly transmitted all the information he knew to the horned elder.


    "Chi Jisa, you need to be patient for a while." The horned elder spoke softly and then his figure disappeared.


    Mintian Hou stood still.


    He knew that the horned elder was going to contact other Demigods of the Divine Race, and he might even contact the supreme Divines.


    That''s right, those who dare to call themselves a Divine Race, the Chi Divine Race indeed had Divines backing them.


    As for places like Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, they had produced Divines in their history, but Divines can die... In this era, there are no longer any Divines in Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Time ticked by.


    Half an hour later.


    "Chi Jisa." The horned elder''s figure reappeared.


    ```

 Chapter 254 The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

    ```"Great-Uncle," Mintian Hou remained very respectful.


    "Five days," the unicorn elder spoke softly, "it will take time to depart from the Divine Race territory to your Gu Yue Divine Kingdom... Plus the time for the clan to mobilize the elites, they will arrive within five days."


    "Good," Mintian Hou hastily nodded.


    Five days? He could wait.


    "Great-Uncle, who are you planning to send?" Mintian Hou couldn''t help but ask.


    "Three Semi Divine Level geniuses, all from the Fire System lineage, will enter the Divine Palace ruins," the unicorn elder whispered, "They are all the Semi Divine Level geniuses of the First Rank in our clan."


    "All of them?" Mintian Hou was startled and couldn''t help but ask, "Are there no Divine Child Level geniuses?"


    "Do you think Divine Child Level geniuses are cabbages?" The unicorn elder glanced at him, "Being Divine Child Level geniuses, they naturally won''t stay long at the First Rank... It''s incredibly rare to find one with the right Life Level.


    Currently, even our whole Immortal Ruins Civilization would have trouble finding a First Rank Divine Child Level genius, we''d probably only find them in the three great Xian sects."


    "Besides, even if they have them, they might not necessarily be from the Fire System lineage. The probability of seizing the treasure might not even be higher," the unicorn elder added.


    Mintian Hou fell silent, but upon reflection, it seemed normal, and it was he who had assumed too much.


    Divine Child Level geniuses, even within the Divine Race Xian sects, hold a very high status.


    "I understand your worries, afraid they wouldn''t be a match for that Li Yuan?"


    "Just a Fourth Level Civilization genius," the unicorn elder said, "We will naturally make thorough preparations. By then, the strength of all three of them will far surpass Mo Hu."


    "You need to understand, there is a great difference even among Semi Divine Level geniuses."


    "Understood," Mintian Hou nodded slightly.


    Just as the strength gap between Flying Heaven Martial Artists or Demigods can be quite significant.


    "Furthermore, we''ve also prepared 300 reserve Prime Warriors," he continued.


    "You gather another batch of First Rank Martial Artists, and we''ll attack together when the time comes."


    "Of course, we must make dual preparations for seizing the treasure," the unicorn elder spoke slowly, "Our clan is also preparing several Prime Warrior geniuses. They will enter the Fierce Feather Star Realm... to deal with the Prime Warrior geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization. "


    "However, their role is to protect the three Semi Divine Level geniuses, not to engage in life-and-death battles with the Prime Warrior geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization," the unicorn elder said, "Our goal is the treasure, and if we end up fighting to the death within the Star Realm, we are not assured of defeating a powerful Fourth Level Civilization that has produced many Demigods...


    It''s not meaningful."


    "Yes," Mintian Hou said.


    He also felt that the unicorn elder''s words were reasonable.


    Mintian Hou''s forces had suffered heavy losses, which infuriated him, but he was not angry about the deaths of his subordinates; he was angry about the loss of his own hopes for acquiring the treasure.


    Mintian Hou had never felt it incumbent upon himself to avenge the deaths of his subordinates.


    For him, obtaining the Divine treasure was of paramount importance.


    The rest? Not important.


    Fighting for the territory of the desolate Fierce Feather Star Realm? He would have to be kicked in the head by a donkey to fight over the territory of a desolate star realm.


    Before long.


    The communication between Mintian Hou and the unicorn elder ceased.


    "Three Semi Divine Level geniuses? Can it succeed?" Mintian Hou muttered to himself, "That Li Yuan, is truly a monstrous talent."


    After so much time, he had also found out that the one from the Seven Star Civilization who had entered the star realm was ''Li Yuan''.


    "Well, there''s nothing left but to trust the clan''s judgment now."


    "Hmph!"


    "Many within the Divine Kingdom must be looking forward to seeing me fail," Mintian Hou thought to himself, "The precise timing of the Seven Star Civilization''s assassination a few days ago... It''s very likely that a Demigod sold me out."


    When the four Demigods acted, the commotion was huge, and naturally, there were many Demigods within the Divine Kingdom who took notice.


    "This time the reinforcements sent by the clan are coming, I will tell no one."


    ...


    Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    In a desolate mountain range about 7000 kilometers away from the Seven Star Civilization''s cultivation area.


    Six figures converged in a canyon between two mountains.


    "The mission is essentially complete," Lude Nef, with disheveled hair and a domineering presence, his eyes faintly red, spoke deeply, "We have slain six Flying Heaven Martial Artists and four reserve Flying Heaven Warriors, dealing a heavy blow to the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom."


    Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others listened silently.


    "However,"


    "We have also suffered casualties, Abbott, and Yanjun Ling have fallen in battle," Lude Nef spoke gravely, "Most of the many life-saving items we carried were also used up."


    "It''s time to prepare to retreat."


    Everyone nodded quietly, their moods slightly subdued... Even though they had anticipated casualties, when a comrade actually died, their hearts still felt some sorrow.


    Abbott, a Prime Warrior genius, was ordered to come and fight.


    Yanjun Ling, one of the two great Flying Heaven Warriors left behind in the Fierce Feather Star Realm by the Blazing Flame Family... regardless of his original intentions for staying.


    But in all matters, actions speak louder than intentions, and he had proved himself with his deeds.


    "Jing He," Lude Nef suddenly turned to Yu Jinghe, and with a feeling of exclamation said, "Once I break through, you will be our Seven Star Civilization''s number one Prime Warrior."


    "This time, if it weren''t for your critical outbreak, holding off Wu Siman, we would have lost at least two more."


    Swish! Swish! Everyone turned their gaze to Yu Jinghe, admiration in their eyes.


    Abbott and Yanjun Ling both died in the final battle.


    In that battle, two formidable Prime Warrior geniuses sprang forth from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡ªAo Jia and Wu Siman.


    Both men, in terms of skill level, were slightly inferior to Lude Nef.


    But Lude Nef''s forte was assassination, not the kind of fighting where one faces ten head-on... Yet Ao Jia and Wu Siman practiced powerful Divine Bodies and had fierce, overwhelming attacks.

    At the crucial moment,


    It was Yu Jinghe who erupted, turning the tide by holding off the ferocious Wu Siman, allowing Tavares, Wu Manong, and the others to leave first.

 Chapter 254 The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

    "Li Yuan," said Yu Jinghe, looking at her, "are you sure you want to make the breakthrough?""Yes."


    "I''ve been stuck at the Prime Warrior realm for a long time," Lude Nef spoke in a low voice, "and I don''t mind telling you, I''ve already awakened the sixth Star Pulse... it''s time for a breakthrough."


    Six Star Pulse? Everyone showed a look of surprise; they clearly understood what that meant.


    This practically signified that, given Lude Nef''s comprehension and talent, once he made the breakthrough, his future would undoubtedly be terrifying within the ranks of the Flying Heaven Level.


    "Let''s go; let''s head back," Lude Nef said.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Six streaks of light shot into the sky, speeding toward the war base thousands of kilometers away.


    ...


    The outside world was embroiled in an ongoing war.


    Yet, within the tranquility of the World within Worlds, deep within the ''Hall of Inheritance''.


    Li Yuan had been merging with that vast information, and after a whole day, he finally regained consciousness.


    He opened his eyes.


    "This! This!" With a thought, Li Yuan felt a multitude of thoughts, numerous methods surfacing in his mind, as if they were inheritances born within him.


    Incredibly magical.


    "I can clearly perceive many powerful Star Techniques, but it seems I can''t speak of them," Li Yuan noticed this fact, and it seemed as if an invisible restriction existed.


    For the time being, he could only study by himself and could not pass them on to others.


    But it was still marvelous.


    "Truly worthy of a Divine Being Inheritance," Li Yuan marveled in awe: no wonder the two great civilizations were frantically fighting to the death.


    Li Yuan was not sure if immensely powerful beings within his civilization, like Dongfang Ji, Lant, Bai Shan Semi-Divine and others, had received a similar inheritance... but at least, the Star Techniques available from the Starfire treasure trove were far inferior to what his master ''Ancient Torch Divine'' had left behind.


    "You''re awake? How do you feel?" The girl stood on the side with her bare feet, her skirt fluttering.


    "Very strong," Li Yuan said.


    "My father left behind many Star Techniques, but the true core lies in only two Supreme Ninefold Star Techniques, ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' and ''All Things Divine Body,'' which I hope you can truly learn." The girl''s bright eyes looked at Li Yuan.


    "These two Star Techniques...


    "The ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' is considered one of the ''Supreme Enlightenment Star Techniques'' with great fame even in dimensional spaces and can greatly enhance the connection with the Law of Earth.


    If you can truly cultivate it to a very high level, your chances of Becoming a Divine Being will greatly increase," the girl said, "Even Divine Beings place great importance on this technique; it is a shortcut on the path to ultimate power."


    "Divine Beings place great importance on it?" Li Yuan marveled. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan nodded gravely: "Alright, I will continue to cultivate diligently and strive to step into the Second Rank as soon as possible."


    "Yes."


    "Right now, you''ve only just completed the First Order Limit, the effect is not so apparent yet, but when it reaches the Second Order Limit, Third Order Limit, Fourth Order Limit... the effects will become increasingly exaggerated." The girl looked at Li Yuan: "You will understand in the future."


    Gou Yu already knew that Li Yuan had awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein and was also cultivating the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein."


    "The ''All Things Divine Body'' is an ancient Star Technique that is both protective and allows for explosive strength; its might is endless," Gou Yu''s eyes showed a touch of reminiscence: "Back then, after father had cultivated it to a very high level, his strength soared, and with this, he traversed various realms, slaying quite a few Divine Beings."


    Slaying quite a few Divine Beings? Li Yuan was internally shocked.


    It sounded like the strength of his own mentor was not to be underestimated even among Divine Beings.


    "Sis, does our master only know two Ninefold Star Techniques?" Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    "Only?"


    Gou Yu paused, looking at Li Yuan with a strange gaze: "Li Yuan, do you think Ninefold Star Techniques are as common as cabbages? Do you realize how rare it is to be able to practice two Supreme Star Techniques?"


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    "Your Star Meridian talent is extremely high, and the fact that you could awaken a Nine Layer Star Vein so quickly is one of the reasons I chose you... but in the future, if you can awaken one more Nine Layer Star Vein, I will be extremely satisfied," Gou Yu said, shaking her head, "You will understand in the future."


    "Mhm, mhm," Li Yuan nodded obediently.


    Yet in his heart, he was wondering¡ªin case there were no accidents, once his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, he would awaken another Perfect Star Vein.


    But for now, he should keep it low-key!


    One must stay low-key.


    "The Ninefold Star Technique ''All Things Divine Body,'' you can''t cultivate it yet," Gou Yu said, "Therefore, the master specifically left behind the Seventh Layer Star Technique ''Great Earth Divine Body,'' and the Fifth Layer Star Technique ''Stellar Mysterious Body,'' which are in succession with the ''All Things Divine Body''."


    "The ''Great Earth Divine Body'' is considered a simplified version."


    "And the ''Stellar Mysterious Body'' is a super-simplified version...


    At the Prime Warrior stage, you can first cultivate the ''Stellar Mysterious Body,'' then as your Star Meridian grows stronger you can gradually practice ''Great Earth Divine Body,'' until you eventually practice the ''All Things Divine Body.'' The cultivation of the three Divine Bodies accommodate each other and are not mutually exclusive," Gou Yu said earnestly.


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, most Prime Warriors with limited Star Pulse awakenings cultivated Star Techniques that were Third Layer.


    Some top-tier geniuses could manage to cultivate one or two Fifth Layer Star Techniques or even Sixth Layer Star Techniques.


    If he could cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique ''Great Earth Divine Body,'' he would at least be able to dominate at the Prime Warrior stage.


    However, cultivating a Divine Body was the most difficult; aside from needing a high realm and strong Star Meridians, often many external treasures were also needed to aid in cultivation.


    "As for the other Star Techniques...


    "Like the Domain Star Technique ''Nine Glorious Void,'' the Escaping Technique ''Light Transformation,'' the Slaughter Star Technique ''Severing Star Extinction'' and others, there is a total of nine, ranging from Six Layers to Eight Layers¡ªyou don''t need to rush to practice them.


    Wait until your strength has grown in the future, then choose the ones that fit you," Gou Yu said: "Cultivation of the Divine Body is of the utmost importance."


    "With a strong Divine Body, your direct combat ability will reach astonishing levels, and you will also be able to survive in many dangerous places."

 Chapter 254 The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4

    Li Yuan listened intently.He had to take his sister''s advice seriously.


    "Apart from the Star Technique inheritance,"


    "there''s something else." The girl turned over her palm, and a glazed antique lamp emitting a strange light appeared in her hand: "Come, condense your Divine Sense onto the wick of the lamp."


    "Yes." Li Yuan immediately did as he was told, his thoughts flitting past the glazed antique lamp.


    Hisss~ As if a mere mortal''s arm had been scalded, Li Yuan felt a tremor in his soul... He then noticed a faint, almost imperceptible connection with the glazed antique lamp in front of him.


    "This thing is called a ''Spiritual Lamp'', and it can sense the location of your soul," the girl said as she looked at Li Yuan, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "As long as you are in this domain, then, through the Spiritual Lamp, I can confirm whether you are alive or dead."


    "That amazing?" Li Yuan was secretly astonished, truly what a method.


    "Sister, this domain, what is a domain?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "You come from the Seven Star Civilization; the ''Seven Star Sea'' where your civilization is located is a Dimensional Plane. Planes vary in strength and size... many planes intersect and are collectively known as the Dimensional Domain," the girl explained: "Your domain has also given birth to quite a few formidable deities... but that''s of no concern to you for now."


    "For deities, crossing planes to reach other Dimensional Planes is extremely difficult."


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    So the entire Seven Star Sea is a Dimensional Plane.


    Does that mean, other civilizations of the Foreign Domain are located on different Dimensional Planes?


    Whoosh!


    With another wave of the girl''s hand, the enormous stone mural, the ''Map of Myriad Stars'', flew up from the side of the divine temple, and then it began to shrink rapidly... It merged into a thin silver sliver that appeared in the void, until it completely disappeared.


    Swish! The thin silver sliver fell and floated in front of Li Yuan.


    "This?" Li Yuan stared at the sliver. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It seemed similar to his own Storage Treasure.


    "The Map of Myriad Stars is a Treasure for Assisting Cultivation in Enlightenment, incredibly mystical," the girl said as she looked at Li Yuan: "I have sealed it within this Storage Treasure. Once you recognize it as the master, you will be able to perceive and observe with your Divine Sense... It can help you quickly master True Intent, and even ultimately step over the threshold of the Law."


    "But you cannot take it out, it involves great risks, and you must not disclose any information about it, do you understand?" the girl advised.


    "Yes." Li Yuan nodded solemnly.


    Having personally experienced the marvel of the Map of Myriad Stars, he clearly understood what a miraculous treasure it was.


    "Finally, a few more items."


    Whoosh!


    The girl waved her hand again, and a black long spear appeared in midair; it looked familiar, very much like the Black Chen Spear.


    There was also a fist-sized black Crystal Stone, its material unknown.


    Last was a purple jade token.


    "This is a weapon I selected for you from the Armory after observing your weapon''s style, it''s a Fourth Rank weapon, also known as a Semi Divine Artifact," she explained.


    "In terms of power, it is average among Semi Divine Artifacts," the girl said softly: "The key is that its power is very concealed, and it can perfectly adapt to a master of any strength... It''ll be sufficient for you to use up through the Flying Heaven level."


    A Semi Divine Artifact? Li Yuan was surprised as he looked at the black long spear, which didn''t appear to have any characteristics of a Semi Divine Artifact at all.


    Indeed, it was sufficiently concealed.


    An ideal choice for ambushing, it would surely be underestimated by other powerful beings, and Li Yuan liked it very much.


    "This Crystal Stone is a life-saving treasure I chose for you; when used, unless it''s against some extremely strong Flying Heaven Warriors, nearly all below the Demigod level can be slain," the girl pointed at the black Crystal Stone, speaking quite seriously: "But remember, before you become a Demigod and gain perfect control over the Hall of Inheritance, I will only give you this one life-saving treasure."


    "So you must use it wisely."


    "Nearly all below the level of Demigod can be slain?" Li Yuan stared at the black Crystal Stone, holding his breath.


    A lethal weapon!


    In the whole Seven Star Civilization, it seemed that no technological weapons dared claim they could definitely kill a being below the level of Demigod.


    Not to mention a single combat weapon.


    "Lastly, this is a token; even if you leave the World within Worlds, as long as you can return to the Fierce Feather Star Realm, you can return smoothly with this token," the girl said to Li Yuan.


    "Star Techniques, treasures for assisting in cultivation, weapons, life-saving items, token... I have given you all that I should. Now it''s all up to you," the girl''s eyes showed a hint of worry, but her voice was somewhat cold: "The path to divinity, the Law of the Great Dao, both are extremely arduous; you can''t become a deity by secluded cultivation alone.


    It''s time for you to embark on your journey, to experience the wonders between heaven and earth. Only then can you reach the very end."


    "If you ultimately die on the path to becoming a deity,"


    "Then, I will select another Direct Disciple for father," the girl said slowly.


    Li Yuan looked down, mumbling in his heart.


    Another one? One of him was enough.


    "Sister, when I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, how should I return?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "That''s the other matter I wanted to talk about," she replied.


    "Once you believe you have reached the peak of a Prime Warrior, don''t rush to break through; first, return to the World within Worlds," the girl said, looking at Li Yuan: "At that time, if you can pass the second challenge left by father."


    "It will be the time when you have begun to gain control over the Hall of Inheritance."


    "The second challenge?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "Did you think you received everything father left behind?" the girl shook her head: "Your strength must be strong enough to gradually receive many treasures."


    "As your sister, I''m here to keep them for you."


    "I will always be here waiting for you," the girl said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan.


    "What are the requirements for the second challenge?" Li Yuan was curious.


    "It''s not hard," she replied.


    "When you are able to kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior with a single move, you should be about there."

 Chapter 255 Though Divine Be Long-lived, They Too Have an End (Additional Chapters 43, 44, 45)

    "A single move to annihilate an ordinary Flying Heaven level?" Li Yuan mused, finding such a statement quite shocking.After all, just a year ago, he had been a ''high school student'' preparing for college entrance exams.


    Back then, Flying Heaven Warriors existed only in legends to him. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It''s not as difficult as you think,"


    "As long as you cultivate your physical foundation to level 29, enter the Sixth Stage of skill, and push the Ninefold Star Technique ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' and the Seventh Layers Star Technique ''Great Earth Divine Body'' to the Second Order Limit, you should be able to do it," the girl said with a smile.


    "After all, with so much external help, do you still lack the confidence to vie with a Flying Heaven level as a Prime Warrior?"


    "I do," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    What a joke.


    The heritage of the Seven Star Civilization was mediocre at best, yet each era could still produce quite a number of Prime Warriors who could match Flying Heaven ones.


    And what about Li Yuan? His ambitions were even greater now.


    Presently, Li Yuan''s primary goal was to become ''the number one Prime Warrior'' in the Seven Star Civilization and, in the future, to achieve the level of slaying a Demigod as a Flying Heaven... At the very least, he needed to reach this level to barely qualify for the ''Divine Legacy'' and to have a chance of embarking on the path to divinity.


    Which young Divine Being wasn''t an unparalleled genius in their youth?


    "It''s good that you''re confident."


    The girl nodded in satisfaction, then added, "By the way, you should have learned a Visualization Method, right?"


    Li Yuan was initially startled, then he replied, "Yes."


    "Don''t worry, it was Little Fire who told me. It secretly spied on you while you were practicing the Visualization Method and sensed something, but couldn''t fully confirm it," the girl said with a smile. "I was just testing you just now."


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    "It seems you indeed have some other opportunity," the girl revealed a cryptic smile. "But you probably don''t understand how precious the Visualization Method is, for it is a method of the Divine."


    "A method of the Divine?" Li Yuan inhaled sharply.


    This was the first time he learned of the origins of the Visualization Method.


    "Demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors, when passing on their knowledge to disciples and progeny, often spend considerable time infusing their Spiritual Imprint into the disciples'' minds, tempering their Spiritual Will," said the girl. "That''s the Mind Method, but as time goes by, the imprint gradually fades... which is very inconvenient."


    "The higher-level technique is the Visualization Method."


    "What is the Visualization Method? The highest form is observing the fundamental nature of heaven and earth; next is observing the essence of nature; and the least is observing the aspect of the Divine," the girl explained. "The Divine, by expending a great deal of mental effort, can condense their will into ''the aspect of the Divine,'' which can help a cultivator to learn the Visualization Method."


    "Once learned, one can day and night visualize the true form of the Divine, strengthen the spirit, and temper the will," the girl said with a smile. "The hope of becoming a god will greatly increase."


    "What''s the name of the Visualization Method you learned, brother?" the girl asked curiously, looking at Li Yuan. "And what is the aspect you observe?"


    Li Yuan hesitated, then said, "It''s called the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.''"


    When it concerned the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan was actually reluctant to reveal anything.


    But considering his earlier interactions with Gu You, Li Yuan trusted her quite deeply in his heart.


    Moreover, Li Yuan''s own desire to unravel the secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was not entirely absent.


    "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture?" The girl''s eyes showed confusion, clearly having never heard of it.


    "My aspect of observation is that of a great sun, with my spirit body being scorched on one side, and nurtured by the boundless Starry Sky on the other," Li Yuan explained earnestly.


    "What?"


    The girl was genuinely surprised this time, her mouth agape as she looked at Li Yuan. "Facing the great sun, backed by the starry sky... this is the fundamental aspect of heaven and earth from the legends, one of the top Visualization Methods, that even my father had only heard about and never seen."


    "Where did you get it?" the girl couldn''t help asking.


    Li Yuan, too, was shocked.


    The Visualization Method he had learned from the Mind Empty Divine Palace, even an Ancient Torch Divine had only heard of it... Was the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture" that powerful?


    But Li Yuan finally began to understand the marvel of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace... If the Visualization Method passed down initially was considered top-tier even by the Divine, what about the other techniques?


    It was unimaginable.


    "Sis, I can''t really speak of its origin," Li Yuan said with a wry smile.


    "Then let''s not talk about it," the girl said, as if she understood everything, and suddenly giggled, "I was wondering how such a weak civilization could produce an unparalleled prodigy like you... Sure enough, there''s a reason for everything."


    "Don''t worry."


    "The variations of heaven and earth, the movement of the universe, how many secrets does this boundless dimensional river hold? How many great opportunities emerge?" the girl said with a smile. "Brother, the stronger you are, the more robust your background, the happier I will be for you."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Not prying into matters was indeed a good quality of this sister.


    "I had prepared a Visualization Method for you," the girl said softly. "Now it seems to be unnecessary... However, according to the rules left by my father, it still has to be gifted to you."


    "Whoever you want to give it to, it''s up to you," the girl said with a smile.


    With a flip of her palm, a jade stone emanating a radiant aura appeared in her hand.


    "To learn the Visualization Method, you need at least Flying Heaven level spiritual power," the girl advised. "Simply crush the jade stone, sense it with your soul, and you can quickly condense the aspect of visualization in your world of mind."


    "The aspect of visualization of the Divine is not eternally existent; it probably lasts for 1000 years, which should be enough for a Demigod''s lifetime of cultivation," the girl said.


    "A thousand years?" Li Yuan asked curiously. "Sister, can Demigods only live for a thousand years?"


    "Isn''t a thousand years long enough?" the girl asked with a smile. "Don''t you know the lifespan associated with the stages of the Martial Path?"


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but shake his head.


    He truly had no idea.


    "Below the Second Rank, the typical limit is about 150 years," she stated matter-of-factly.


    "Second Rank Life, a lifespan of 300 years."


    "Third Rank Flying Heaven, 500 years."


    "Fourth Rank Demigod, a thousand years."


    "Fifth Order Divine Being, five thousand years," the girl finally said.

 Chapter 255 Though the Divine Are Long-lived, They Too Have an End (Additional Parts 43, 44, 45)_2

    "Even divine beings can''t live forever?" Li Yuan was taken aback, having imagined that beings bold enough to call themselves divine should have lifespans, if not equal to the heavens, then at least tens of thousands of years.Five thousand years is indeed very long, comparable to the entire lifespan of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But that seemed to fall short of his expectations for divinity.


    "So-called divine beings are merely powerful life forms, who in this world is immortal? Nothing is eternal," the girl smiled and said, "The passage of years, the cycle of life and death, these are the ultimate truths of the universe."


    "The pursuit of Martial Arts Cultivation is essentially a struggle with the heavens for longevity."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He kept the ''Visualization Method'' given by Gu You, as for whom to give it to, Li Yuan hadn''t decided yet.


    "With your strong spiritual power and superior skills, you should strive to reach the Seven Star Pulse level during your Prime Warrior phase," the girl said with a hint of expectancy in her eyes, "And then, you may try to breakthrough to the Eight Star Pulse in the Flying Heaven Stage."


    "Seven Star Pulse?" Li Yuan was curious.


    Although he had set goals for himself.


    But like Principal Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine, their highest hopes were only that he could reach the Six Star Pulse.


    "Every creature is spirited, and within each entity lies a vast expanse of Life Stars; theoretically, everyone has the potential to breakthrough the Six Star Pulse, but awakening so many Life Stars requires extremely high skills and immensely strong spiritual power," the girl said earnestly, "And since the lifespan of a Prime Warrior is limited, their golden cultivation period is even shorter...


    That''s why most can''t reach their limit and have to breakthrough prematurely."


    "Hesitate once, and you will be slowing down at every step afterward."


    "A Prime Warrior who hesitates will lag doubly as a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "In the end, the vast majority of semidivines find it difficult to breakthrough to the Seven Star Pulse," the girl smiled, "The Seven Star Pulse has also become a legend among many civilizations, with very few reaching it."


    Li Yuan listened with bated breath, knowing that everything has a spirit was something he was already aware of.


    But the other secrets were new to him.


    "Your Star Meridian talent belongs to the very top tier, and now both your skills and spiritual power are not lacking," the girl said with expectation, "Once you become a Eight Star Pulse in the future... even if you eventually become divine, you will be among the strongest in your foundation among the divines." S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Sister, what is Master''s Star Meridian foundation?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Father is only a Seven Star Pulse, but he has two Nine Layer Star Veins," the girl said seriously, "Overall, father''s foundation is quite good among the divine."


    "After all, theoretically, the Five-Star Meridian could be enough to ignite the Divine Fire," she said.


    Li Yuan was puzzled.


    Five Star Meridian? The requirement is that low?


    "It''s just theoretical, normally, those who become divine on their own are at least of the Six Star Pulse," she said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded, this was more in line with his impressions.


    "Sister."


    "Isn''t it said that Flying Heaven Warriors find it difficult to further awaken their Star Meridians?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Who said that? Your elders?"


    "A bunch of fools," the girl frowned and said, "Flying Heaven Warriors only find it more difficult to awaken Star Meridians, not that they can''t. Theoretically, even as a semidivine... they can continue to awaken Star Meridians, it''s just that very few among semidivines can do so."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Many of the ''basic'' knowledge, for the Seven Star Civilization, might be a ''knowledge desert.''


    This was all experience summed up by generations of divine beings.


    "Theoretically, at the Prime Warrior stage, with your skills, spiritual power... it''s impossible to sustain until awakening the Eight Star Veins," the girl said seriously, "Thus, awakening the Seven Star Pulse is a kind of limit for Prime Warriors."


    "Step into the Flying Heaven, and work hard to awaken the Eight Star Pulse... this is my highest expectation for you," she added.


    Li Yuan listened intently and finally asked, "What about the Nine Star Pulse?"


    "Don''t aim too high," she said.


    "The Nine Star Pulse, forget your civilization... it''s probably legendary even in the entire Dimensional Domain," the girl seemed to recall something.


    After pondering for a moment,


    she added, "Of course, I''m not saying you have no hope at all, but remember, eat your food one bite at a time, the Nine Star Pulse... at least wait until you reach the Seven Star Pulse as a Second Order Prime Warrior before you contemplate the Nine Star Pulse."


    "Understood."


    ...


    The two talked for a while longer.


    Li Yuan stored all the treasures gifted by Gu You into the Storage Magical Treasure, and took possession of the token that allowed entry and exit from the World within Worlds,


    "I''ve said so much," she said.


    "Remember, once you go out, don''t reveal the secret of receiving a Divine Being Inheritance; a precautionary heart is necessary," the girl instructed, "Wait until you reach the Second Order Limit in strength, then come back and see me."


    "I''ll send you to little fire."


    With that,


    she didn''t wait for Li Yuan to say goodbye.


    With a wave of her hand, an invisible ripple swept by, and Li Yuan had disappeared from the spot.


    "I didn''t expect this,


    "After so long without speaking, as soon as I saw someone, I talked so much," the girl murmured to herself, "Father, it appears that your disciple is quite extraordinary, to have received such a top-notch Visualization Method... Our chances of success have perhaps increased a bit more."


    "Little brother,"


    "I hope you don''t let down my expectations," the girl gently closed her eyes, standing motionless in the void like a porcelain doll,


    as if slipped into slumber.


    ...


    With a buzzing sound, Li Yuan''s world spun.


    He still had many questions he hadn''t finished asking, like who had killed the Ancient Torch Divine, or how this World within Worlds came into being if divine beings couldn''t descend upon the Star Realm, and the whereabouts of Lin Lanyue.


    But Gu You seemed unwilling to say more.


    And simply sent him away.


    With a silent buzz,


    as everything settled down, Li Yuan found himself in a grand hall when his vision cleared, noticing himself in a vast space.


    All four walls of the hall were of a fiery red hue.


    Even more so, the Divine Pillars were engraved with a great number of fire bird reliefs... as if he had entered a world of flames.

 Chapter 255 Though Divine Be Long-lived, They Too Have an End (Additional Chapters 43, 44, 45)_3

    "The Hall of Inheritance of the Fire System Divine?" Li Yuan thought to himself, not feeling too alarmed.Based on his recent communication with Gu You, having become the direct disciple of the Ancient Torch Divine, the Boundary Spirit would surely treat him with great courtesy.


    He might even be granted a certain level of authority.


    Suddenly.


    "Li Yuan, have you succeeded?" An excited voice came from not far away, followed by a figure clad in red, a striking silhouette who walked over from the corridors of the hall.


    Li Yuan''s eyes brightened at the sight.


    It was Lin Lanyue.


    But she had changed.


    From high school to now, hardly a year had passed, and although they frequently met in the virtual network, especially around the time of Xu Bo''s death, when they spent several days together.


    Li Yuan had already noticed the change in Lin Lanyue''s temperament, becoming more heroic, but that was still a subtle change.


    Until today.


    As they met again.


    Lin Lanyue was not the kind of stunning beauty, but she had completely shed her high school immaturity, undergoing a profound transformation.


    Her temperament was very special.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan thought of Gu You.


    This was a completely different kind of aura. Gu You had the pure feel of a young girl with an additional touch of coldness that made people not want to profane... Lin Lanyue, on the other hand, was the opposite, standing there as if radiating endless fervor.


    Of course.


    Li Yuan had to admit that if he were to compare the two, Lin Lanyue still fell much short.


    But she was far superior to many other women Li Yuan had seen.


    Their gazes collided.


    "Lanyue, you''re actually here?" Li Yuan also smiled - his trip to the World within Worlds, where he received the Divine Being Inheritance, was an unexpected joy.


    He had originally only planned to rescue Lin Lanyue.


    But looking at the current situation, Li Yuan vaguely understood that she might no longer need his rescue.


    ...


    It was a reunion after a long separation, and in such a scene, both of them felt something unusual.


    "Lanyue, did you know I was coming?" Li Yuan thought of what Lin Lanyue had said earlier.


    "Yes."


    "The Boundary Spirit told me about you, said that you went to accept the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance... It seems that you have succeeded." Lin Lanyue revealed a smile, seemingly happy for Li Yuan.


    "That Earth System Divine Being is even more powerful than my mentor." Lin Lanyue said.


    "Mentor? You have taken a Fire System Divine Being as your master?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    "Mm, but just as a name-registered disciple." Lin Lanyue smiled, "In this regard, I am far inferior to you. I was able to become a disciple not because of talent or comprehension, but because of bloodline compatibility."


    "Bloodline?" Li Yuan became even more puzzled.


    Until now, he had guessed that Lin Lanyue might have received or was in the process of receiving the Fire System Divine Being Inheritance.


    But only because of the bloodline? This was something Li Yuan had not anticipated.


    "Come over and take a seat, I''ll explain it to you slowly." Lin Lanyue said with a smile. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Alright." Although Li Yuan had intentions of sending the news of his survival back to the Seven Star Alliance, he wasn''t in a hurry to do so.


    Lin Lanyue led the way.


    Li Yuan followed, and the two quickly arrived at an auxiliary hall.


    There was a cushion here ¨C clearly a Quiet Chamber.


    "You take a seat, I''ll just sit on the ground." Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    ...


    They both sat down.


    Then, Lin Lanyue began to narrate her story.


    "This Fire System Divine Being, is it a True Phoenix?" Li Yuan listened to Lin Lanyue''s story, feeling an unknown shock in his heart: "Born a divine being?"


    "Yes."


    "She once followed that powerful Earth System Divine Being." Lin Lanyue spoke thoughtfully: "The True Phoenix is part of an extremely terrifying Divine Beast clan in the dimensional rivers."


    "Each True Phoenix, after a thousand years, can rely on its bloodline to gradually grow into a divine being. They are innately Divine Beasts, destined to achieve godhood."


    "Impressive, indeed." Li Yuan said earnestly.


    Born destined for godhood?


    Divine Beasts are truly something else.


    "Don''t worry too much about one''s origin. Having a superior birth means innate potential." A gentle voice sounded around them: "But even those of humble beginnings can aspire to godhood, or even become one of the most powerful beings among the divine, like your mentor, Li Yuan."


    "And like you, Li Yuan. If you become a god in the future, you will likely be much more powerful than my master."


    "Boundary Spirit?" Li Yuan looked around instinctively.


    The voice was familiar, indeed the voice of the Boundary Spirit he had encountered before.


    "Boundary Spirit will not appear." Lin Lanyue said helplessly: "It only occasionally hears our conversation and drops a few hints."


    Li Yuan nodded, understanding.


    "In the beginning, when this Star Realm was newly created and unstable, my mentor was severely injured and unable to escape further, fearing pursuit from enemies... so she took the opportunity to control the World within Worlds, descending into this Star Realm." Lin Lanyue said: "She merged the World within Worlds into the core of the Star Realm... and thus concealed it."


    "Before dying, my mentor stripped away her bloodline from her own body, splitting it in two, and preserved it."


    "This is the Fierce Feather Star Realm."


    "In an unstable Star Realm, Divine Beings could descend." Lin Lanyue continued: "Until a hundred years ago, when the Fierce Feather Star Realm finally stabilized, no Divine Beings could descend any longer... that''s when the World within Worlds came into being."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    A newly formed Star Realm, with its incomplete operating rules, cannot fend off Divine Beings.


    "Ultimately."


    "Among the first group of Prime Warriors who explored the Star Realm, the Boundary Spirit chose my ancestor ''Flame City'', who naturally had a very high compatibility with the True Phoenix bloodline." Lin Lanyue said: "He inherited that incomplete ''True Phoenix Bloodline'' and quickly rose to become a Demigod."


    Li Yuan sighed.


    So it turned out, the rise of the Demigod Flame City was due to inheriting an incomplete True Phoenix bloodline.


    "And then."


    "Feixing held the Blazing Flame Family, and what''s known as the ''Blazing Flame Bloodline'' actually contains a trace of the True Phoenix Bloodline." Lin Lanyue continued: "Even with just a trace of the bloodline, once awakened, it''s enough to gradually turn us into Flying Heaven Level beings."

 Chapter 255 Though Divine Be Long-lived, They Too Have an End (Additional Chapters 43, 44, 45)_4

    ```"The Nirvana Divine Scripture is also a specialized cultivation method for the True Phoenix Clan."


    "I had a strand of the True Phoenix Bloodline awakened in me during high school," Lin Lanyue said, "which allowed me to enter the Blazing Flame Family and receive their extensive training, vastly increasing my strength."


    Li Yuan immediately remembered that Lin Lanyue had not participated in the April skills assessment.


    Lin Lanyue glossed over her training experiences in the Blazing Flame Family.


    But!


    This time, coming to Lin Lanyue''s rescue, Li Yuan, after becoming an absolute key player in World within Worlds... had already obtained a detailed dossier on Lin Lanyue from the Blazing Flame Family.


    She wasn''t as relentlessly diligent in her cultivation as he was, but she was indeed fanatically dedicated.


    In the Blazing Flame Family''s ''Fire Bath'' training to unearth the potential of their bloodlines, her performance ranked in the top three in the family''s entire history (Chapter 99).


    That''s why, step by step, she shone within the Blazing Flame Family.


    In fact, in less than a year, her skills had reached the High Rank of the Fourth Stage. Just in terms of skill level, among her peers at Starry Sky University, she went from the middle-lower ranks to the top thirty in one year, and there was an increasing trend (Chapter 217).


    Finally, the Demigod of Flame City met with her. After testing, it was confirmed that the concentration of True Phoenix Bloodline in her body was second only to that of this progenitor... He decided to send Lin Lanyue to World within Worlds.


    "Once in World within Worlds."


    "I passed several tests and eventually merged with another incomplete ''True Phoenix Bloodline,'' making my bloodline strong enough to meet the requirements of the inheritance divine artifact," Lin Lanyue said smilingly, "and became a nominal disciple of my master."


    "A nominal disciple?" Li Yuan was taken aback, "Not a direct disciple?"


    "Of course not.


    "Li Yuan, you too are a disciple of a divine being, so you naturally understand how high the requirements are for a direct disciple of a divine being," the gentle voice spoke up again, "Lanyue becoming a nominal disciple is mainly due to her bloodline."


    "I need her to operate the inheritance divine artifact left by the master, and then push the entire World within Worlds to break away from the Fierce Feather Star Realm."


    "That will enable us to better select direct disciples, and we too can gain freedom."


    Li Yuan listened, somewhat bewildered.


    "Li Yuan, World within Worlds and the essence of the Star Realm are fused as one. Normally, at least a Martial Artist at the Flying Heaven Peak would be needed to claim ownership of World within Worlds and fully stimulate it, to make World within Worlds break away," Lin Lanyue explained. "But this is the Second Level Star Realm... where at most Prime Warriors come in."


    "Otherwise, the Demigod of Flame City could easily stimulate World within Worlds."


    "It''s a contradiction with no solution."


    "We can only rely on the inheritance divine artifact of the True Phoenix Clan left by the master, find a match in bloodline, and use the bloodline advantage to reach the Martial Arts at the Sixth Stage in the Prime Warrior phase, barely stimulating the divine artifact to push the outburst of World within Worlds," Lin Lanyue said.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    Turns out, Lin Lanyue is a tool? Is she a stepping stone for the Boundary Spirit to leave the Star Realm and find a direct disciple?


    But it couldn''t be said that Lin Lanyue hadn''t gained anything; on the contrary, her gains were immense. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just a piece of the incomplete True Phoenix Bloodline...


    As long as Lin Lanyue didn''t slacken in her own cultivation in the future, with her True Phoenix Bloodline and the super high compatibility with the ''Fire System,'' she was almost destined to become a Demigod.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, Lanyue needs to practice in the Hall of Inheritance for a while longer," the Boundary Spirit''s voice rang out again, "Once she fully adapts to the post-transformation bloodline and becomes a Prime Warrior, advancing her Martial Arts into the Fifth Stage... I will naturally let her leave, to venture and temper herself in the outside world, only returning when she reaches the Second Order Limit."


    "Would you stay here with her for a while longer," the Boundary Spirit said.


    "Or leave first?"


    "I''ll leave first," Lin Lanyue took the initiative, her bright eyes on Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, you have now received the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance... Staying here is useless, and I am not in danger."


    "After you go back, just inform the Demigod of Flame City about my situation."


    Lin Lanyue was already moved in her heart that Li Yuan had come to rescue her despite the dangers, and their meeting was enough for her.


    Li Yuan looked at Lin Lanyue''s face.


    He thought for a while.


    "Alright, I''ve been in the Divine Palace ruins for more than half a month. If I don''t return, they would probably start worrying that I''m dead," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I''ll take my leave first then, and we''ll see each other once you come out."


    "Alright."


    "I will come out as quickly as possible, and then we will meet on Feixing," Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    "See you on Feixing."


    During their recent conversation, Li Yuan had also mentioned some of his own experiences.


    For instance, his triumph in the virtual battles of the Blue Star competition.


    Only then did Lin Lanyue learn that Li Yuan would be going to Feixing to inherit the Martial God Inheritance in a few months.


    Soon after.


    Accompanied by an invisible fluctuation, Li Yuan was taken away by the Boundary Spirit and disappeared within the Fire System Divine inheritance hall.


    Lin Lanyue''s smile faded from her face, revealing a trace of loneliness.


    "I can sense that he has a favorable impression of you. If you had asked him to stay with you for a few days, he probably would have stayed," the Boundary Spirit''s voice spoke up.


    "There''s no need."


    "Seeing him once is satisfying enough for me."


    "His cultivation time is precious. Staying here doesn''t benefit him," Lin Lanyue shook her head, "Besides... why should I give him a reason to stay?"


    The Boundary Spirit did not try to persuade any further.


    "Boundary Spirit."


    "Based on the time, it should be time for a new round of ''Fire Refining Nirvana,'' isn''t it?" Lin Lanyue suddenly said.


    "It''s still one day away. Are you sure you''ve rested enough?" the Boundary Spirit asked.


    "Yes, I''ve rested well."


    As a being with a mighty bloodline, relying on her bloodline alone could enable her to grow stronger... but if she could diligently cultivate, doing her utmost to unearth the power of her bloodline, she could become even more formidable.


    Fire Refining Nirvana was a trial site left by the Fire System Divine for his disciples.


    It was a hundred times more painful than the Fire Bath that Lin Lanyue had endured before, but she was much stronger than before.

 Chapter 255 Though Divine Be Long-lived, They Too Have an End (Additional Chapters 43, 44, 45)_5

    "Remember,""When undergoing Fire Refining Nirvana, use the Visualization Method," a gentle voice arose, "Doing so will accelerate the growth of your soul."


    "Mhm."


    ...


    Within the World within Worlds, outside the massive, continuous ruins of the Divine Palace, a large number of First Rank Martial Artists and Prime Warriors stood guard, numbering in the hundreds.


    They were vigilant in every direction.


    The ones in charge of leading them were Si Feng, Kross, and Bai Ya.


    "How long has Li Yuan been inside?"


    "Almost twenty days now," Si Feng and Kross chatted. For talents like them, the simple task of standing guard was extremely boring.


    "Li Yuan isn''t even from the Fire System lineage; according to the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, he''s been in there for so long..." Si Feng couldn''t help but say.


    "Don''t be a jinx," Kross said in a low voice, "I believe in Li Yuan. He can definitely make it out alive."


    Kross was extremely grateful to Li Yuan, who had once saved his life.


    He didn''t want to believe that someone as strong and talented as Li Yuan would die in the ruins of the Divine Palace.


    After all, so many from the Blazing Flame Family had made it out alive before.


    "Don''t blame Si Feng," Bai Ya sighed lightly, "It''s just logical reasoning to assume that the longer it takes, the less likely Li Yuan is to survive..."


    Suddenly.


    "There''s someone!"


    "Someone is coming out of the Divine Palace ruins!" Excited shouts came from not far away.


    Si Feng, Kross, and Bai Ya were immediately startled, and they looked up towards the door of the distant ruins.


    Whoosh!


    A figure clad in earthy yellow robes was striding out of the palace at great speed.


    "It''s Li Yuan!" Kross recognized him at a glance, almost jumping up in excitement.


    "Li Yuan?" Si Feng was equally shocked, and even more delighted, "Haha, awesome! He''s come back alive!!"


    "Alive?"


    "He survived seventeen days?" Bai Ya also showed a smile, yet she found it somewhat unbelievable.


    After all, according to previous records from the Blazing Flame Family, if one was not from the Fire System lineage, most would have come out alive within a few days.


    So many days had passed.


    In fact, not just them, but many people outside also felt that Li Yuan was very likely dead within the ruins of the Divine Palace.


    But now, after so long, Li Yuan had come out alive?


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan was very fast, and in just tens of seconds, he arrived at the ''base camp'' of the Seven Star Civilization''s stationed troops.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan," Kross, Bai Ya, and others went up to greet him, their voices tinged with a hint of excitement.


    "Long time no see," Li Yuan said with a smile upon seeing this group of old friends.


    ...


    The return of Li Yuan made the group of stationed Martial Artists extremely excited, and they immediately transmitted the news to other warriors in the World within Worlds.


    It was also sent to the War Fortress in the Star Realm.


    ...


    Deep beneath that large ore vein, inside a mysterious stone chamber, it was rather dim.


    Rustle rustle


    Alicia''s body was emanating strands of blue light, swirling and faintly inducing the forces of heaven and earth.


    She suddenly opened her eyes.


    "Hm?" Alicia felt the vibration in her smart ring and looked down at it, her eyes flashing with surprise, "Li Yuan has returned alive?"


    "That freak came out alive?"


    "Quick!"


    "Go see him fast," the voice of Little Star instantly resounded in her mind, "Being trapped in the Divine Palace ruins for so many days, he must have gained something quite special. Hurry up and ask, see if we can get any useful information... maybe we can also take a chance."

    "Don''t waste the opportunity."


    "Shut up," Alicia frowned, and immediately, she tapped the light screen, first sending Li Yuan a message.


    "Are you okay? Not hurt, right?"


    ...


    The news of Li Yuan coming out alive, in a very short time, made Lude Nef, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and others aware.


    This was followed by.


    Wu Manong and others, also passed the news to the alliance''s senior officials at the first opportunity.


    ...


    Above Kunlun Martial University in Xia Country, Fang Hai received the news in the quiet chamber of his own flyer.


    "Li Yuan has come out alive?"


    "Good that he''s alive."


    "I wonder, being trapped so long inside, if he has gained any special discoveries."


    ...Fang Hai, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and other senior officials of the alliance, after receiving the news and having their concerns eased, also grew curious.


    Li Yuan is clearly from the Earth System lineage, so why did he stay so long in the core of a Fire System Divine''s ruins?


    Did he have any special acquisitions?


    ...


    Time passed.


    In the encampment outside the ruins of the Divine Palace in the World within Worlds.


    Li Yuan looked at the multitude of messages sent from the outside world through his smart ring: some were comforting, some were congratulatory...most were from his elders.


    Of course, besides these messages, there were many more that were curious and inquiring.


    "It seems there are quite a few people curious about my experiences," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Without much hesitation, he quickly turned the ''draft'' he had prepared in his mind into a detailed experience report and uploaded it directly to the War Base.


    The content was intricate and detailed, but the gist of it was¡ªhe had received inheritance from a demigod, obtained two star techniques, a visualization method, and a semi-divine long spear.


    That was all!


    As for whether the alliance''s upper echelons would believe it?


    Believe it or not, Li Yuan didn''t care too much.


    The reason he revealed the star techniques and the semi-divine long spear was that he would soon be using these items, and sooner or later he couldn''t keep them secret.


    So it was better not to hide them.


    At the same time.


    Through communications with Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe from the outside world, Li Yuan also learned of the many situations that had occurred in the outside world during the past half a month he spent in the Divine Palace ruins.


    The fighting was fierce.


    "So many Flying Heaven Warriors have died?"


    "Even Abbott is dead?" Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    People like Tavares and Wu Manong, Li Yuan had never heard of before coming to Feixing.


    But Abbott? He had heard of him; he was a genius Prime Warrior with a great reputation in the alliance.


    The rumors always said he would definitely become a strong Flying Heaven Warrior in the future.


    Unexpectedly, he had died in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    "Li Yuan, we have already reported your account to the high-level officials of the alliance," Wu Manong transmitted a message: "In the coming time, the Gu Yue Divine Palace might still instigate a new war, so we hope you can continue to stay on for some time, and always be ready for war."


    Continue to stay on?


    Li Yuan had no objections.


    "Even if I go back to Blue Star, I would just be training in school," Li Yuan thought to himself: "It''s the same anywhere."


    For Li Yuan now, he had the Map of Myriad Stars with him at all times to study and comprehend.


    Training anywhere, there was not much difference.


    "Coming up."


    "Besides the usual training in Origin Power, visualization method, and spear practice," Li Yuan thought: "Another important thing is to continue making efforts to awaken the Life Star."


    "Strive to elevate the second Star Meridian from the Fourth Layer awakening to the Fifth Layer Life Level as soon as possible."


    "That way, I can cultivate the Fifth Layer Star Technique ''Stellar Mysterious Body''."


    Such a Fifth Layer Star Technique, if cultivated to a certain extent, would significantly boost Li Yuan''s strength.


    And it would lay a good foundation for Li Yuan''s future cultivation of the Seventh Layer Star Technique ''Great Earth Divine Body''."


    ...


    Li Yuan''s report did not cause much of a stir.


    The higher-ups might not fully believe what Li Yuan said... but for now, Li Yuan was still in the World within Worlds.


    Even if some Star Masters and demigods in the alliance''s upper echelons had opinions and thoughts, they could only hold back for the time being.


    It was not possible to come and inquire about Li Yuan right now.


    As time passed, there was no outbreak of a major war between the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom and the Seven Star Civilization, as if the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had completely given up.


    Until the sixth day after Li Yuan''s return.


    The sun hung high in the sky.


    In a temporarily erected tent in the encampment outside the Divine Palace ruins, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, silently cultivating "All Heavens'' Stars" and fervently absorbing Origin Power from the outside world.


    Continuously driving his Life Level evolution.


    At the same time, he also split his thoughts, continuously attempting to awaken his Life Star.


    Suddenly.


    "Buzz~" Li Yuan''s body vibrated violently, emitting wisps of earthy yellow light.


    "Haha, very good."


    "To think that the second Star Meridian has actually reached the Fifth Layer Star Veins level," Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised in his heart.


    Just a few days!


    Luck was on his side.


    "Carry on," Li Yuan calmed his heart and did not rush to cultivate the star technique but continued to try to awaken the Life Star.


    More than an hour later.


    Suddenly.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan suddenly felt a vibration from his smart ring and looked down, his pupils immediately constricting.


    "Warning!!"


    "War warning!"


    "A full-scale invasion, at 136 exits, First Rank warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have simultaneously emerged, requesting assistance!!"


    "Requesting support!!"

 Chapter 256 The Power of the Mysterious Body! Overwhelmingly Destructive! (Request for Monthly Pass)

    Returning from the Divine Palace ruins, Li Yuan was already aware of the recent situation: nearly ten thousand First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization were stationed in the World within Worlds.Carrying out inquiries almost everywhere.


    At the several hundred explored exits, warriors were left on guard, positioned there as a precaution.


    However, in the days since Li Yuan emerged from the ruins, the Seven Star Civilization hadn''t suffered any attacks.


    So subconsciously, Li Yuan had assumed that Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had given up.


    At least for the upcoming year, during the time he''d still be staying in the World within Worlds, he didn''t expect any further assaults.


    "I didn''t expect them to be waiting for us here."


    "The number of exit points issuing alarms has surpassed 164?" Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband, where various data was continuously updating.


    A hint of murderous intent crossed his eyes.


    All of this could only mean one thing¡ªthe Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had launched a full-scale attack.


    All of a sudden.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Several figures flashed by and had already arrived outside Li Yuan''s tent. It was Alicia, Si Feng, and Kross.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan." The three looked at the tent without barging in.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stood up, and with a move, he was already outside the tent.


    "There''s nothing much to say, you all must have received the message," Li Yuan said gravely, "The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom has been silent for so long. By daring to attack again, it shows they are confident in fighting us."


    "They even believe they can annihilate us," Li Yuan stated gravely.


    Alicia, Si Feng, and Kross couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    "Each of you lead a team, according to the intelligence pointers, to engage in battle and try to clear them out," Li Yuan said indifferently.


    "Li Yuan, what about you?" Alicia couldn''t help asking.


    "I will stay outside the Relic Divine Palace."


    Li Yuan revealed a faint smile, "No matter what tactics the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom has... their ultimate goal must be to send top-notch talents into the Relic Divine Palace."


    "After all, the ultimate treasure of the Fire System Divine resides within the ruins of the Divine Palace," Li Yuan said. "Their top talents, after completing their breakthrough, will certainly come here."


    "If I were to join you all in clearing out those First Rank warriors... we might give them the chance to slip into the Relic Divine Palace," Li Yuan said, "The loss would outweigh the gain."


    Exchanging glances, the three found Li Yuan''s rationale sound.


    "Of course, if you encounter an unbeatable supermaster, send me a message, and I will come as quickly as possible," Li Yuan said.


    Any master that could defeat Si Feng and Alicia was certainly no ordinary opponent.


    "Alright."


    "With Li Yuan guarding here, we need not worry," they said.


    "Let''s go. If we can''t win against Li Yuan, can''t we still slaughter a bunch of First Rank Martial Artists?" Si Feng said cheerfully, as this journey in the World within Worlds was also a trial for them.


    Just then.


    Quite abruptly.


    The smart wristbands of the four vibrated again, and they all couldn''t help but look down; Si Feng and the others'' expressions changed instantly.


    "A Prime Warrior has died?"


    "How is that possible! A Prime Warrior killed in such a short time?" Alicia and Kross were somewhat shocked.


    It was understood that the strong individuals from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who entered were only at the First Order Limit.


    In terms of power and speed, they were absolutely at a disadvantage compared to the Prime Warriors.


    "To kill a Prime Warrior so swiftly, with not a single message sent back, it''s likely a Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank technique, or even more sophisticated," Li Yuan whispered.


    "Let''s go."


    "Take advantage of the fact that they haven''t broken through yet, and try to track and kill them," Si Feng, Kross, and Alicia quickly departed.


    Only a group of First Rank warriors remained, continuing their patrol in the area, on alert.


    Li Yuan stayed where he was.


    "What a pity."


    "The Boundary Spirit can''t grant me the inquiry privilege over the entire World within Worlds," Li Yuan murmured to himself, seemingly speaking to the air.


    There was no response.


    But Li Yuan believed the Boundary Spirit could hear him... it just wasn''t willing to give him the inquiry privilege.


    After all, whether it was the Seven Star Civilization or the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it truly didn''t care about their conflicts and killings.


    Even if billions died.


    To it, those would just be numbers.


    Its purpose was to select a Direct Disciple of a Divine, strong enough, with high enough talent... Does it matter which dimensional civilization this disciple comes from?


    "After all, I am only a disciple accepted after the master''s death," Li Yuan thought to himself. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This True Phoenix Divine was a follower of the Ancient Torch Divine, and it didn''t necessarily have to listen to him.


    "Continue cultivating."


    "As long as I am strong enough, I can easily suppress the entire World within Worlds," Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, quickly calming his mind.


    "Since the enemy has attacked."


    "It''s time to enhance my strength," In Li Yuan''s mind emerged the many cultivation tips of the Fifth Layer Star Technique, "Stellar Mysterious Body," along with the most important ''Star Mark.''


    ...


    About 270 kilometers away from the Relic Divine Palace, in an ancient pathway filled with sand and stones.


    On the ground, there were bodies scattered haphazardly.


    A sultry woman in a fiery red Battle Garment, with a strong and curvaceous figure, gently wiped the fresh blood off her long sword.


    "A Prime Warrior? The strength was decent, but too bad they encountered me," The woman''s eyes were cold.


    Suddenly.


    The device on her shoulder trembled slightly, transmitting a voice: "Freya, how''s it going?"


    "Ran into a bit of trouble," The sultry woman replied softly, "No big issue, it''s already been dealt with, but they carried ''life locators''; the Prime Warrior''s death would''ve surely alerted the enemy, they''re probably coming to capture me now."


    As she was speaking.


    Whoosh!


    The woman had turned into a streak of light, rushing toward the exit of the passage, her voice steady and relaxed, "Roman, what about you?"


    "I''ve escaped and am now in Stealth mode," The voice came through the device, "But Muba is being besieged, facing a super master of the Seven Star Civilization, likely to be doomed."

 Chapter 257 The Fury of the Boundary Spirit! The Final Return (Additional Chapters 46 and 47)

    "A fiery red token?" Li Yuan, hearing the voice of the Boundary Spirit, couldn''t help but pause for a moment.Was this thing observing him all along?


    It never showed up during the life-and-death battle with the enemy, but now that it had found something good, it suddenly emerged?


    With murmurs in his heart, Li Yuan still followed the Boundary Spirit''s command and fished out a fiery red token from the pile of relic items belonging to the two of them.


    Li Yuan remembered that this was something left by the enchanting woman he had smashed into a mist of blood with a stab of his spear.


    "This token?" Li Yuan was somewhat puzzled. The token was the size of a palm, entirely red like fresh blood, with a special symbol engraved on the front.


    On the back, there was the engraving of a Divine Palace.


    The entire token emitted a very special aura, similar to what Li Yuan had sensed in the Fire System Divine Being Inheritance Hall.


    It was the aura of the Fire lineage.


    "You can try using Origin Power to probe into the token and see if you can fully activate it," the Boundary Spirit''s voice rose again, sounding more anxious than before, no longer as gentle.


    "Hmm." Li Yuan nodded slightly, focused his mind, and quickly, Origin Power began to permeate into the token.


    Hiss~


    At that moment, Li Yuan felt a bit of resistance, but it was not particularly strong. The very next instant¡ª


    Boom!


    The fiery red token suddenly burst into a blaze of light, like a hot flame burning fiercely, extremely dazzling.


    "This?" Li Yuan''s eyes flickered; with his strength, and protected by an Origin Power Battle Suit, he could easily bear the heat of these flames. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This flame was the transformation of his Origin Power running through the pathways inside the token.


    "What is that?"


    "Not sure." Unlike the hundreds of First Rank Martial Artists nearby, who still hadn''t recovered from the shock of the scene before.


    Then, they saw a group of scorching flames suddenly appear in Li Yuan''s hand.


    "Damn it! Ah!"


    "It''s indeed his token, his token! I knew I wasn''t wrong, it''s him!" The Boundary Spirit''s voice suddenly became extremely angry, echoing in Li Yuan''s mind: "He''s the one who killed the master."


    Listening to the Boundary Spirit''s angry roars, Li Yuan was stunned.


    According to the Boundary Spirit,


    this flaming token was a memento passed down by some powerful entity... and this powerful entity was the murderer who killed the True Phoenix Divine?


    Such a coincidence?


    "Li Yuan, you should return to the tent first," the Boundary Spirit seemed to be suppressing the rage in its heart, its voice becoming much calmer: "I''ll explain it to you slowly."


    "Hmm." Li Yuan outwardly remained calm and walked back towards his tent.


    At this moment.


    "Senior Li Yuan." Two figures hurried over, both emitting the aura of Martial Artists, showing considerable respect.


    They were the main officers in charge of managing the area of the Relic Divine Palace, and the hundreds of First Rank Martial Artists nearby were under their jurisdiction.


    "What''s up?" Li Yuan replied courteously.


    Li Yuan knew that despite his great strength, he alone couldn''t guard the entire Relic Divine Palace... He needed these ordinary Martial Artists to patrol in all directions and report to him about enemy attacks.


    "Were the two people who just died genius Origin Martial Artists from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?" they couldn''t help asking: "Should we report this to the base?"


    "Report it," Li Yuan said indifferently: "Write in the report that these two were a bit stronger than the previous Semi Divine Level genius."


    From the instant clash just now, Li Yuan had already perceived the two''s formidability.


    Their Physical Quality assessment from the Divine Palace Inquiry was level 24.


    Skills? Li Yuan guessed the muscular man with the knife was slightly less skilled than Mo Hu, but the enchanting woman probably had already stepped into the Fifth Stage High Rank... If they were allowed to slaughter at will, even Alicia would be defeated and dead.


    They were incredibly talented geniuses.


    It could be said that within the entire Seven Star Civilization, apart from Li Yuan, it was impossible to find such formidable ''geniuses'' among First Rank Martial Artists.


    Therefore, Li Yuan concluded they were Semi Divine Level geniuses.


    Just in terms of skills, Li Yuan thought it was impossible to kill the enchanting woman in one move... unfortunately, after cultivating the "Stellar Mysterious Body," once he fully exerted his power, Li Yuan''s instantaneous Explosive Power was close to a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    Naturally, he accomplished an easy crushing victory.


    "Semi Divine Level geniuses?"


    "Both of them were Semi Divine Level geniuses?" The two level 20 Origin Martial Artists were shocked.


    Before entering the World within Worlds, they were unaware, but upon arriving in the Middle Realm, being the core fighting force, they naturally got to understand these briefings.


    Li Yuan had killed all Semi Divine Level geniuses in one encounter? To what extent had Li Yuan''s strength reached?


    Just the thought made the two level 20 Origin Martial Artists shudder.


    "Alright, after you report, continue with the patrols, and report to me if there''s any situation," Li Yuan said lightly, walking straight into the tent.


    "Yes."


    The two level 20 Origin Martial Artists became even more respectful.


    ...


    Almost at the instant Freya and Roman perished,


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, the number four base of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, inside that temporarily constructed base,


    in a super-large conference room, over a hundred people awaited, busy.


    On the giant projected map in the center, the map was blurry, but there were numerous lights twinkling on the ground; occasionally, a light would extinguish.


    Each light represented a Martial Artist from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who had entered the World within Worlds.


    And the extinguishing of a light signified the fall of a Martial Artist.


    The dozens of observers had become somewhat numb; over the last two days, too many lights had gone out.


    The Martial Artists they had sent in had suffered over 80% casualties, and according to their big data analysis... at most, within three days, the remaining First Rank Martial Artists would be exterminated by the Seven Star Civilization.


    There was no way around it.


    On the Seven Star Civilization''s side, geniuses like Alicia and over 200 Origin Martial Artists who had made the breakthrough... slaughtering First Rank Martial Artists was too easy.

 Chapter 257 The Fury of the Boundary Spirit! The Final Return (Additional Chapters 46 and 47)_2

    Even a semi-divine level genius like Muba, in terms of skill and the treasures he carried, far surpassed Alicia and the others.But what of it? If he couldn''t escape immediately, he was still caught and killed by Alicia.


    Suddenly.


    In the midst of over a thousand points of light, the two most dazzling ones suddenly flashed and then went out completely. This scene left many observers stunned, and quite a few people in the meeting room also took notice.


    There was silence for a whole second.


    "Freya is dead?"


    "Roman is dead? This!" The two Flying Heaven Warriors responsible for staying behind to observe were utterly confounded, looking at the scene in disbelief.


    Indeed, they were confounded.


    Not long before, they had communicated with Freya and Roman, knowing that the two had just made breakthroughs and had rapidly grown to level 24 using many peculiar treasures.


    Far stronger than Mo Hu before them, they had each mastered an introductory Third Layer Star Technique. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They were full of confidence.


    But how much time had passed since then? That they had fallen so quickly? And at the same time?


    "Check quickly."


    "Check! Is there a problem with their signals?" A Flying Heaven Warrior panicked; he knew how important Freya and Roman were.


    Within the entire Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, and even among the Chi Divine Race, it was almost impossible to find more suitable, stronger Martial Path geniuses.


    Soon.


    "The instrument is functioning properly."


    "The communication is fine."


    "Death!"


    "99% probability, death confirmed." A series of checking voices resounded; the Immortal Ruins Civilization''s device for confirming the status of a warrior''s life was far superior to that of the Seven Star Civilization.


    "They''re really dead?" The two Flying Heaven Warriors looked at each other, a chill in their hearts.


    The death of Freya and Roman was one thing, but what was key was that they both died instantaneously, without sending back any message before death... this was too terrifying.


    How did they die? If they were killed by the enemy, how terrifying would the strength of that enemy have to be?


    Or were they killed by the inherent dangers of World within Worlds?


    "Send the message." One of the black-robed Flying Heaven Warriors said in a hoarse voice, "I''ll send the message to Ao Jia, Wu Siman, Kui Jiu, and the others."


    "You send the message to Mintian Hou and the two demigods of the Chi Divine Race."


    As he spoke, the black-robed Flying Heaven Warrior had already begun to send messages to Wu Siman and the others.


    "Me?" The other Flying Heaven Warrior was startled. "Damn! I have to send the message to Lord Hou?"


    He could imagine the fury that the message would provoke once sent.


    But there was nothing he could do.


    ...


    World within Worlds, outside the ruins of the Divine Palace.


    Inside one tent.


    "The one who killed the True Phoenix Divine was a powerful being named Ancient Torch Divine?" Li Yuan listened to the Boundary Spirit''s story.


    He finally understood why the Boundary Spirit was so furious.


    "It wasn''t so much killed as poisoned." The anger in the Boundary Spirit''s voice was palpable. "Back then, my master followed the Ancient Torch Divine into that catastrophic battle, which was extremely brutal, with divine being after divine being falling... The Ancient Torch Divine was among the most dazzling of them."


    "As a True Phoenix, my master''s bloodline talent was extremely powerful, and she dominated in her own right."


    "Taking advantage of an opportunity within the enemy camp, that Chi Swallow Divine used a divine poison, the toxin eroded my master''s whole body, and in the end, my master only escaped by using ''Nirvana''... Later in the great war, she was sent away by the Ancient Torch Divine."


    "In her frenzied escape, that Chi Swallow Divine also pursued with the intent to kill, and my master''s injuries grew ever more severe."


    "My master could only find a newly born, unstable Star Realm, integrated the Cave Heaven Treasure with it, hid her aura, and finally managed to evade capture." The Boundary Spirit''s voice was filled with rage: "In the end, my master died from her grave injuries, leaving us behind."


    "A newly born, unstable Star Realm, where divine beings have the power to forcibly descend... I have always been waiting, waiting for the day I could truly emerge."


    "But I can''t forget my master''s horrible state before her death, nor can I forget the aura of Chi Swallow Divine."


    "This token, it''s his!!"


    "The deceased, also from the Fire System, must be intrinsically linked to Chi Swallow Divine." The Boundary Spirit''s voice contained fury.


    Li Yuan finally learned some partial truths about that war from the past.


    "But aren''t divine beings supposed to only live for five thousand years?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking: "Almost ten thousand years have passed, could that Chi Swallow Divine still be alive?"


    "He might be dead."


    "But he may have left behind an inheritance within his civilization, which was obtained by that young girl just now." The Boundary Spirit spoke somberly.


    "So, Chi Swallow Divine was a divine being born from the Immortal Ruins Civilization?" Li Yuan asked in slight confusion: "From the reports I know, in the entire history of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, only one ''Gu Yue Divine'' was ever born."


    In the past few days, Li Yuan obtained new information about the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom through communication with the outside world.


    In the many Divine Kingdoms within the Immortal Ruins Civilization... each had once given birth to divine beings, but most of those divine beings have disappeared, most likely due to the end of their lifespan.


    However, a nation that has given birth to a divine being naturally has a deep foundation.


    The strength of the Seven Star Civilization, to be comparable with that of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, was sufficient proof of the power of the Seven Star Civilization.


    "Perhaps it is another Divine Kingdom in the Immortal Ruins Civilization." The Boundary Spirit suggested: "You can communicate with the outside world, use the information systems in your civilization to investigate."


    "He was a divine being, and even if dead, he should have been recorded in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization." The voice of the Boundary Spirit had become gentle again.


    "Why should I check? It''s of no benefit to me." Li Yuan shook his head: "You won''t even grant me some authority within the World within Worlds."


    In fact.


    Even without the Boundary Spirit mentioning it, Li Yuan would still investigate, as he suspected that, apart from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, other forces from the Immortal Ruins Civilization were now involved.


    However, he needed to find a way to gain some benefits from the Boundary Spirit.


    "My master has left rules which I cannot break," the Boundary Spirit said firmly. "However, if you can verify it, I will definitely give you a tremendous benefit."

 Chapter 257 The Fury of the Boundary Spirit! The Final Return (Additional Chapters 46 and 47)_3

    "Really? Don''t lie to me," Li Yuan said."I naturally wouldn''t lie to you," the Boundary Spirit said, "I''m not a human after all."


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words, "Wait for me."


    Swiftly,


    Li Yuan used the communication device to report the situation he controlled to the external war base.


    At the same time, he requested an investigation into everything about the ''Fire Divine Being.''


    Of course, Li Yuan did not mention the Boundary Spirit, only saying that he had found traces of the ''Fire Divine Being'' in the relics of several Semi Divine Level prodigies, suspecting the involvement of other forces.


    ...


    "Fire Divine Being?"


    "Tied to divine-level forces?"


    "Could it be that other forces capable of birthing divines are getting involved?" In the war base, Yan Yunhu and Tavares, responsible for staying behind, were shocked when they received Li Yuan''s message.


    At the same time, they vaguely came to a realization.


    "No wonder so many strong Prime Warriors have emerged, the new ones can even compete with Wu Manong and the others."


    "They''re all ones that never appeared in the intelligence from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom before."


    "Turns out, they came over from other major forces in the Immortal Ruins Civilization," Yan Yunhu and Tavares both speculated in their hearts.


    They didn''t dare to delay, sending a message to Lude Nef, Wu Manong, and others who were fighting in the defense of the reproduction zones.


    At the same time, they urgently reported up the information about the ''Fire Divine Being.''


    ...


    Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.


    Inside a large conference room.


    Several beings emitting powerful auras were chatting leisurely; among them, two had dark red single horns growing on their foreheads.


    "Chi Jisa, I''ve heard that quite a few of your First Rank warriors have died," the single-horned elder said with a smile.


    "Haha, Great-Uncle, only a few thousand have died," Mintian Hou laughed, "Our people below can easily call up tens of thousands more without any trouble."


    "Even if they all died, in a few decades, there would be a new batch," another red-clothed demigod laughed.


    "Yes, just some cannon fodder," another demigod also laughed.


    Within Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, as demi-gods with lifespans of a thousand years, they would be heartbroken if some super prodigies like Mo Hu died...


    But First Rank warriors? Second Rank warriors? These demigods didn''t care at all.


    "It''s really a shame about Muba dying, that youngster was promising," Mintian Hou said with sincere regret.


    "To die for the Divine Race is their honor," the single-horned elder said indifferently, "Struggling for Divine Being Inheritance, and competing with another powerful civilization ¨C wouldn''t that involve death?"


    "Even though he died, he drew a lot of fire. The others, Freya, Roman, will complete the mission," the single-horned elder said with a smile, "Believe in them."


    "Hmm, Freya is indeed formidable. To reach Fifth Stage High Rank skills at twenty years old, impressive indeed,"


    "Roman isn''t bad either," the other demigods flattered, half-sincerely and half-ingratiatingly.


    The single-horned elder had come representing the Chi Divine Race.


    The Chi Divine Race, one of the nine top-tier powers within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, always had divine beings guarding within... incredibly powerful.


    Suddenly,


    "Hm," Mintian Hou and the single-horned elder both felt a surge in their hearts as they received a message simultaneously.


    In an instant, their faces became extremely somber.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "What''s happened?" The other demigods immediately sensed something was very wrong.


    "Freya, Roman are dead," Mintian Hou said in a deep voice, almost grinding his teeth with each word, "Right before their deaths, they didn''t send back any information."


    "What? Freya and the others are dead?"


    "Three Semi Divine Level prodigies have died!" The other demigods immediately realized the gravity.


    This was catastrophic.


    No matter how fiercely Ao Jia, Wu Siman, and those powerful Prime Warriors fought, or how many First Rank warriors entered the Middle Realm, it was all secondary... The truly important ones were the three Semi Divine Level prodigies.


    Only they had the hope to pass the numerous tests left by the Fire System Divine and acquire the divine treasure.


    But now, they had all died?


    The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became extremely oppressive, and the few demigods dared not speak.


    After a while,


    "Chi Jisa, give up," the single-horned elder suddenly said with a light sigh, "Order Kui Jiu and the others to withdraw. Give up the struggle."


    In this brief amount of time, faced with shocking casualties, the single-horned elder made his decision.


    "Give up?" Mintian Hou hadn''t even come to terms with it yet, reflexively saying, "We''ve suffered such great losses, and we''re just going to give up?"


    "The cost of sunken losses isn''t a loss."


    "Don''t always care about the chips you''re bound to lose," the single-horned elder''s gaze was icy cold, yet thoroughly calm, "The only possibilities that could kill Freya and Roman so swiftly after their breakthrough are two... Either, Li Yuan is inconceivably powerful. " Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Or, they were targeted by the forces behind the scenes in the World within Worlds."


    "Regardless of which it is, we are no longer suitable for contention in the short term," the single-horned elder said slowly, "If you still wish to strive for it, I won''t dissuade you."


    "But the Divine Race, we give up," the single-horned elder declared solemnly.


    He too was angry and in pain Interiorly, it was hoped that one of the three Semi Divine Level prodigies would become a demigod in the future.


    To lose them like this,


    Yet the means displayed by the Seven Star Civilization had completely exceeded his expectations.


    Having lived so long, the single-horned elder knew one thing ¨C sometimes, cutting losses is another form of gain.


    The Chi Divine Race had stood tall for tens of thousands of years, with a key reason being that they never obsessed over one thing to the bitter end.


    "Chi Jisa, I must go,"


    "Let Kui Jiu and the others return on their own. I will sign the contract and give up... Additionally, I will continue to investigate that matter I discussed with you last time and will get justice for you," the single-horned elder stood up, speaking lowly, "Inside the Divine Race, we never let down any clan member. When you have time, go back to see your grandfather; his lifespan isn''t much longer."

 Chapter 257 The Fury of the Boundary Spirit! The Final Return (Additional Chapters 46 and 47)_4

    Saying this,the elderly unicorn no longer lingered and directly led his subordinates out of the conference room.


    He left behind Mintian Hou with an ashen face.


    The other three demigods looked at each other, all waiting for Mintian Hou''s decision... Among the four of them, Mintian Hou was the strongest.


    Stay connected with empire


    After a long silence,


    "Give up! Withdraw the troops!" Mintian Hou squeezed out four words between clenched teeth.


    ...


    Within the Fierce Feather Star Realm, amid the continuous mountain ranges of the Seven Star Civilization''s "Reproduction District,"


    an unprecedented fierce battle was erupting in the void.


    "Kill! Kill!"


    "Go to hell," snarled Kui Jiu with a hawk-like nose and a sinister look in his eyes, holding a long spear. His figure flickered mysteriously, attacking Wu Manong in the distance with frenzy.


    "So strong,"


    "He''s so much stronger than me." Wu Manong''s forehead was dripping with cold sweat as he wielded two shields, doing his best to fend off Kui Jiu''s attacks with his spear technique.


    Suddenly,


    "Swoosh!" A dazzling streak of golden light cut through the vast sky, instantly blocking Kui Jiu''s long spear. The blade''s light was unending, exuding a domineering and violent aura.


    It was Yu Jinghe, who had hurried over to provide support.


    "Your people have started pulling back, aren''t you leaving?" Yu Jinghe''s sword technique was imperious, his robust voice ringing through heaven and earth, "If you don''t leave now, once all our people come over and encircle you, you won''t be able to escape."


    "Hmph!"


    With a look of resentment in his eyes, Kui Jiu saw there was no hope of killing Wu Manong, and so his figure transformed into a streak of light and sped away.


    Yu Jinghe did not pursue him further.


    Having gone through several large battles over two days, they had all come to understand Kui Jiu''s terror... His strength was in no way inferior to Lude Nef.


    "Old Yu, thanks a lot," Wu Manong said gravely.


    "Haha, with our relationship, do we still need to say such things?" Yu Jinghe laughed, "The great battle has ended, and the struggle for World within Worlds should be able to come to a close."


    "It''s over? They''ve really withdrawn?" Wu Manong was slightly startled, "Did you kill Wu Siman and the others?"


    "No."


    "It was World within Worlds," Yu Jinghe said with emotion, "Li Yuan, in just a single encounter, killed two demigod-level geniuses."


    "These must be the last demigod-level talents that Gu Yue Divine Kingdom could find."


    "Now all of them are dead, their struggle for World within Worlds is hopeless, so naturally, they withdrew," Yu Jinghe said with a laugh, "there likely won''t be any major battles in the near future."


    "Killing two demigod-level talents in one move?" Wu Manong was shocked and somewhat incredulous.


    "Haha, can''t believe it?"


    "It''s true, Li Yuan''s strength is beyond imagination," Yu Jinghe laughed, "According to the reports from several Prime Warriors who journeyed with him, Li Yuan... should have mastered a Divine Body Star Technique."


    "Divine Body Star Technique?" Wu Manong became even more shocked, "Hasn''t Li Yuan only been in World within Worlds for less than a month?" sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "To be precise, it''s been twenty-four days," Yu Jinghe said with a smile.


    "Twenty-four days ago, he was still a martial artist of the nineteenth rank," Yu Jinghe said with a touch of emotion, "Now, he is a powerful Prime Warrior who wields a Divine Body Star Technique."


    "In terms of strength, I fear he can match up to an ordinary twenty-eighth rank Prime Warrior."


    "Considering his rate of growth..." Yu Jinghe patted his good friend''s shoulder with a laugh, "It seems that, before long, we will have a new companion at Seven Star Mountain."


    ...


    The news of the end of the great battle in the Fierce Feather Star Realm quickly reached Li Yuan in World within Worlds.


    However,


    what he was truly concerned about was the detailed information about the "Immortal Ruins Civilization''s Chi Divine Race" that he had just received.


    He quickly flipped through it.


    "Boundary Spirit, you must have seen it too," Li Yuan said softly, "The Divine of Chi Yan is the sixth recorded divine being born into the Chi Divine Race; it seems he died thousands of years ago."


    "The genius who broke into World within Worlds this time is very likely from the Chi Divine Race''s demigod-level talents," Li Yuan said.


    "It really is him!!"


    "Good that he''s dead! So good!" The Boundary Spirit''s voice carried a hint of rage.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed; as the years passed, even divines had to succumb to death after the passage of countless ages.


    After a while,


    "Li Yuan, thank you," the Boundary Spirit''s voice turned gentle again.


    "No need to thank me," Li Yuan shook his head, "I want benefits, and you said you wouldn''t deceive me."


    Li Yuan also saw that this Boundary Spirit, whom he had never met, would not easily confer benefits upon him.


    "Before long, you will probably begin to cultivate the ''Great Earth Divine Body,''" the Boundary Spirit said, "I will give you one of each of the Five Elements Divine Crystals, which should be enough for you to cultivate it to the First Rank of Perfection."


    Li Yuan''s heart stirred.


    To cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique "Great Earth Divine Body," in addition to having sufficient star meridian and a high enough Skill Realm, one also needed external materials¡ªthe Five Elements Divine Crystals, mainly the Earth Origin Crystal.


    However, the other four types of Divine Crystals were also indispensable.


    "Not enough," Li Yuan shook his head.


    "Don''t be hasty,"


    "The second benefit, I will close the passage that leads to the Immortal Ruins Civilization," the Boundary Spirit''s voice rang again, "And the third benefit, haven''t you always wanted the inquiry rights over the entire World within Worlds?"


    "I give you the rights."


    "Deal," Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    ...


    Two days later,


    at an entrance and exit of World within Worlds, not far from where a faint haze of rosy light shimmered,


    Li Yuan, looking at the Divine Palace panel that read ''Spiritual Awakening Level: 45% (Current Limit 45%),'' felt quite satisfied with the fruits of the chase and kills across the map from the past two days.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped into the passage, and as an invisible fluctuation took hold, his entire being swiftly vanished in the glow, already embarking on the journey home.

 Chapter 258 Principals Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)

    Hum~ Li Yuan only felt a flash before his eyes, followed by countless colorful lights zipping past him, and he felt as though he was being swept away by a current, his body even experiencing a sensation of weightlessness.His divine sense couldn''t be extended outward.


    <<This probably isn''t the legendary space teleportation, but rather moving along a passage,>> Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After barely more than ten seconds, Li Yuan felt the flowing lights disappear before his eyes, and an invisible force lifted him up from beneath his feet as he rose quickly through the passage, as if buoyed by an unseen force.


    He gently landed on the metallic induction platform.


    He had returned to the entrance of the passage, located within the War Fortress of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    Above his head was a giant dome constructed of metal.


    <<Li Yuan.>>


    <<Li Yuan, you''re finally back.>>


    <<Li Yuan, I''m Tavares.>> A group of figures exuding powerful auras had been waiting for some time and came up to greet him, all sporting smiles and greeting Li Yuan in turn.


    <<Mentor Wu.>>


    <<Yu... Mentor Yu.>> Li Yuan was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the group before him.


    He only recognized Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe.


    In fact, this was his first encounter with Yu Jinghe, and as for the others? He knew their names but couldn''t match them to faces.


    But that didn''t prevent Li Yuan from using Divine Palace Inquiry to instantly verify the strength of the group.


    29.9 level!


    29.9 level!


    30.2 level!


    ...Two Flying Heaven Martial Artists, and the rest were Top Grade Origin Martial Artists... and from their self-introductions, Li Yuan understood that these Top Grade Origin Martial Artists were definitely the most fearsome among the Seven Star Civilization.


    Each had the strength to fight against a Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    Quickly, through introductions, Li Yuan got to know each of these powerful beings... Lude Nef, An Yongya, Tavares, Dorothy... each one a legendary supreme fighter in the eyes of common folk, their destructive power akin to human-shaped nuclear weapons, exerting tremendous deterrence.


    At this moment, they were all exceedingly polite to Li Yuan.


    <<Honored seniors,>> Li Yuan couldn''t help saying, <<Why have you all come here?>>


    <<Li Yuan, didn''t you send a message saying the passage was closing and you were preparing to return?>> Wu Manong chuckled, <<You are the number one contributor to this World within Worlds battle, so naturally we came to welcome you.>>


    The first time they met, Wu Manong was quite indifferent to Li Yuan, treating him like a junior.


    Now, though, he was quite enthusiastic.


    <<It''s thanks to the seniors fighting on the outside that the War Base could stand unshaken, allowing us to easily win within the World within Worlds,>> Li Yuan continued, having always been aware of the situation outside.


    <<Haha, alright.>> Lude Nef with his hair in disorder and a smile on his face said, <<Li Yuan, there''s no need for modesty, we''ve seen your contributions. Not to mention other things, just for taking down three demigod-level geniuses, you''re credited with exceptional meritorious service.>>


    <<Moreover, in the last two days, you led a team to kill nearly a thousand warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, which is also a great achievement.>>


    <<When it comes to merits, you are the first.>> Lude Nef laughed, <<It''s already detailed in our alliance''s report, and there''s no need for further dispute over this.>>


    Li Yuan was speechless; his leadership in the last two days had involved using ''World within Worlds Inquiry Authorization'' from the Boundary Spirit, akin to having full-map cheats.


    He exposed all those Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors who couldn''t return due to the passage closing, one by one.


    In actuality, these warriors were innocent... but in a battle for the existence of a civilization, there was no room for pity.


    It also allowed Li Yuan to gather a vast amount of spiritual nurishment, boosting his Spiritual Awakening Level to 45%, reaching the current limit.


    <<Let''s go.>>


    <<Li Yuan, we have already arranged a feast to honor your return,>> Tavares said with a smile, <<and no need to call us seniors anymore; you are now a Prime Warrior yourself, just call us by our names.>>


    ...


    After the feast, Lude Nef, Wu Manong, and other top-tier geniuses took their leave one after another.


    The closure of the portal used by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was known to the Seven Stars side, and with that, the Great Battle of the World within Worlds had come to a definitive end.


    Naturally, they didn''t linger in the Fierce Feather Star Realm. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Flying Heaven Martial Artists like Flame Cloud Fox, Dorothy, and others had tasks to attend to, their presence in the Fierce Feather Star Realm destined to be a long-term affair... just the cleanup after this battle would keep them busy for a long time.


    Only Yu Jinghe stayed with Li Yuan.


    <<Li Yuan, today is our first meeting, isn''t it?>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile.


    Experience more content on empire


    <<I''ve heard so much about Big Brother Yu.>> Li Yuan replied with a smile, <<In fact, you''re my uncle''s lifesaver, and I''ve always kept that in my heart. I just didn''t find it appropriate to mention it earlier with so many people around.>>


    Big Brother Yu, that was the name Li Yuan had adapted during the feast.


    <<Oh?>> Yu Jinghe expressed surprise.


    Li Yuan immediately recounted the incident of his uncle Li Changzhou trapped in the Rob Sea.


    <<If it hadn''t been for you guarding the War Fortress back then, my uncle would surely have perished,>> Li Yuan said.


    <<That battle...>> Yu Jinghe immediately remembered and with a smile said, <<I believe that in the future, you will do the same, making contributions to our entire civilization.>>


    For a top-tier Prime Warrior like Yu Jinghe.


    They enjoyed a wealth of resources from civilization and were highly valued by the upper echelons.


    But many crises involving the Second Level Star Realms required them to fight at the forefront.


    <<Also, congratulations are in order for receiving the inheritance of a demigod-level powerhouse.>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile, <<The legendary Visualization Method is said to be very mystical.>>


    He was also somewhat aware of Li Yuan''s gains.


    <<It was just good luck on my part,>> Li Yuan said with a smile.


    <<It''s because your strength is formidable,>> Yu Jinghe looked at Li Yuan, <<The demigod-level geniuses from the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all formidable... yet they all fell to your hands, which says it all.>>

 Chapter 258 Principals Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)_2

    Li Yuan did not retort but immediately showed curiosity, "Big Brother Yu, is the Visualization Method very rare?""Very rare," Yu Jinghe said, "The Visualization Method can only be used by martial artists after divine beings expend their mental energy to condense their ''True Form Will'' into some special treasures... It''s not easy even for a divine being to create one, and they wouldn''t bestow it unless they deemed it valuable"


    "Moreover, our Seven Star Civilization hasn''t even given birth to a divine being," Yu Jinghe said with a sigh, "As far as I know, aside from a few demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors who obtained it by chance, even some demigods and Star Masters probably haven''t received the Visualization Method."


    "Many demigods and Star Masters don''t have the Visualization Method?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked.


    In an instant, Li Yuan realized the value of the ''Visualization Method'' he had in his hands.


    Of course, no one knew that he still had the Visualization Method.


    "I''ll accompany you back."


    "Star Master Fang Hai and the Flame City demigods are on their way to the Fierce Feather Star Realm entrance," Yu Jinghe said with a smile, "They are coming specially to welcome you."


    "The principal is coming?" Li Yuan''s eyes brightened; he was not surprised that the Flame City demigods would come.


    This was because Li Yuan had specifically sent a message before leaving, which concerned the life and death of Lin Lanyue.


    But the principal?


    "Don''t be surprised. If the title of the number one talent of your civilization from the Blue Star virtual battle was debatable, then, after the battle in the World within Worlds, it has basically been confirmed." Yu Jinghe said with a smile, "Lude Nef and Wu Manong, such proud individuals, were very courteous to you. What do you think that''s for?"


    "Because they believe you will definitely catch up with, or even surpass them, in the future," Yu Jinghe said seriously.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, so that was it.


    Strength!


    It''s always formidable strength that convinces people.


    "Therefore, it''s normal for the higher-ups to value you," Yu Jinghe said smilingly, "I too am looking forward to the day you make a name for yourself on Seven Star Mountain."


    Discover exclusive tales on empire


    "Seven Star Mountain?" Li Yuan was puzzled; he had never heard of it.


    "You''ll understand once you enter the Martial Divine Hall in July," Yu Jinghe said with a smile, "That''s where all the top talents of our entire civilization gather."


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    So-called Seven Star Mountain was presumably a place that only those awarded a quota for the Martial God Inheritance could reach.


    "July, huh?" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Today was already March 29th.


    July was not far off.


    "Big Brother Yu, before we go back, may I sell all the war trophies I''ve collected in the World within Worlds?" Li Yuan asked.


    His two storage magical treasures were already more than half full; they needed to be emptied.


    "Okay."


    "Star Master Fang Hai and the others are still on their way, selling a few things won''t take too long," Yu Jinghe didn''t mind.


    ...


    Inside this war base, a huge appraisal room was already built, and with Li Yuan''s arrival, the group of appraisers began to bustle.


    Rustle~Clang! Clang!


    Li Yuan waved his hand, and a large number of collected treasures quickly fell to the ground, mainly consisting of weapons... apart from the slain demigod-level genius with the enchanting face, suspected to have Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, who had a storage magical treasure.


    People like Mo Hu did not have storage magical treasures and naturally carried very few treasures.


    But little by little adds up.


    After nearly half an hour of detailed testing.


    "Sirs," the middle-aged chief appraiser respectfully said, "For all the treasures, we are willing to offer about 59.3 billion Blue Star Coins."


    "Oh? That much?" Yu Jinghe was slightly surprised.


    After all, from his perspective, most of them were just ordinary weapons used by Prime Warriors.


    "Mainly those life-saving items left by a few killed demigod-level geniuses, which drove up the price," Li Yuan said with a smile; he had already checked beforehand and was not surprised by the price.


    "Hmm," Yu Jinghe nodded slightly.


    With his strength and status, he wouldn''t care too much about a few hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    In fact, Li Yuan didn''t care either; 600 billion Blue Star Coins was definitely a huge sum unimaginable to the common person.


    But mere money? It didn''t mean much to Li Yuan anymore, as most of the treasures he needed for his next phase of cultivation could not be measured in money.


    The most important point.


    "This time, apart from the treasures obtained from the Hall of Inheritance and Boundary Spirit," Li Yuan thought to himself, "the biggest gain was the storage treasure left by that demigod-level genius, astonishingly as large as 6 cubic meters, roughly the size of my storage treasure."


    "Moreover, it contained a Fourth-Rank treasure."


    A 6 cubic meter storage magical treasure in the Seven Star Alliance could easily sell for more than 600 billion Blue Star Coins, a sum Li Yuan had no intention of selling. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As for Fourth-Rank treasures? These were even more priceless.


    All in all, Li Yuan''s journey to the World within Worlds had garnered him enormous gains; if one were to also count the Semi Divine Artifact, the Five Elements Divine Crystal given by the Boundary Spirit, and the like... Li Yuan''s wealth was now comparable to that of many peak Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ...


    After handing over all the sellable treasures.


    Li Yuan and Yu Jinghe boarded the return journey on the underground train, which shuttled beneath the sprawling district.


    "Over a million people died outright? And the total casualties exceeded six million?" Along the way, Li Yuan listened to Yu Jinghe recount the casualties caused in the sprawling district by the Star Realm war, and even he shuddered slightly.


    Those were over a million living people.


    "It was unavoidable."


    "The clashes between Flying Heaven Warriors are too widespread, and that pack of scoundrels from the Immortal Ruins Civilization deliberately slaughtered, even though we did our best, we only managed to barely hold them off," Yu Jinghe said in a low voice tinged with anger.


    "Had you not killed those few demigod-level geniuses in the World within Worlds, making them feel hopeless to compete and now retreat, the actual casualties would have been even greater," Yu Jinghe said coldly, "We have already found out the leader was named Kui Jiu, a genius Prime Warrior from the Chi Divine Race."

 Chapter 258 Principals Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)_3

    ```"Kui Jiu?"


    "Chi Divine Race?" Li Yuan silently repeated these two names in his heart, engraving them in his memory.


    When he became powerful, if the opportunity arose, Li Yuan wouldn''t mind seeking revenge.


    ...


    Six hours later.


    The train had covered thousands of kilometers, and Li Yuan finally arrived at the entrance and exit of the Fierce Feather Star Realm and Feixing with Yu Jinghe.


    "It''s time to leave."


    "The next time I return, it will be when I am cultivating the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' to the Second Rank," Li Yuan said, taking one last look at the vast lands of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    In the last few days within the World within Worlds, aside from annihilating a large number of Martial Artists from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Li Yuan had also visited that mysterious stone chamber, attempting to continue his cultivation of this Supreme Star Technique.


    He failed again.


    It also made Li Yuan understand, that in the short term, there was no way to cultivate this Supreme Star Technique to the pinnacle of the Second Rank.


    He had to wait until his Physical Quality, spiritual power, and Skill Realm were higher before there was hope.


    Sigh!


    The two stepped through the passage between worlds, early martial law was in place along the road, accompanied by a series of uncomfortable invisible fluctuations sweeping through, and they had arrived at the grand hall on the other side.


    Back on Feixing.


    Truly back to the civilization of his hometown... Passing through the breeding area in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, which was also a highly developed human society, but Li Yuan still felt a sense of estrangement in his heart.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan immediately noticed several figures approaching from a distance.


    One of them was Fang Hai, and the auras of the other two were even more elusive and unpredictable.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Find your next read on empire


    All beyond¡ª the limit of Inquiry.


    "It looks like, the Principal''s Life Level should have reached 36.9, or even the legendary 37," Li Yuan mused.


    Only those who practiced the Seven Star Veins could reach Level 37.


    As for Fang Hai''s strength and foundation, Li Yuan still couldn''t figure it out.


    "Principal." Li Yuan stepped forward to greet them, and said respectfully, "And the two seniors."


    "Star Master, two seniors," Yu Jinghe also bowed slightly, but was much more casual.


    "This time, both of you did well," Fang Hai, dressed in black, came up to them and with a sharp gaze on Li Yuan, smiled and said, "Li Yuan, for such great meritorious deeds, and obtaining the Demigod inheritance, I really don''t know what would be appropriate to reward you."


    "Principal will decide," Li Yuan said with a grin.


    "Ha ha." The middle-aged man in red revealed a smile, "You sure are a slick kid."


    "You''re not shy, that''s for sure," Fang Hai said with a hint of a smile, much more amiable than before.


    Li Yuan also noticed that the man in the green robe had an expressionless face.


    "Let me introduce you, this is the Demigod of Flame City, and this is the Demigod of Qing He," Fang Hai introduced the two men beside him.


    Li Yuan bowed again, but he was secretly astonished in his heart.


    So they were all Demigods, indeed.


    "Let''s go, let''s talk in the meeting room first," Fang Hai said with a smile, "Both Demigods have indeed come with questions for you."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    He had been prepared in his heart; involved with the Divine Being Inheritance, and even the channel to the Immortal Ruins Civilization had been closed... If the Alliance''s senior leaders let it go so easily, that would be abnormal.


    "Jing He, you go back to Seven Star Mountain first," Fang Hai said to Yu Jinghe, "We''re already calculating your merits. Once it''s all done, we will notify you, and it will be added to your ''Seven Stars Points''."


    "Alright." Yu Jinghe nodded slightly; their participation in such a major battle also meant their merits would be calculated.


    ...


    In the meeting room.


    Only Li Yuan, Fang Hai, the Demigod of Flame City, and the Demigod of Qing He were present.


    "Li Yuan, I am here to question you on behalf of the Alliance," the Demigod of Qing He, wearing a green robe and still showing no smile, said bluntly, "This is not an inquisition, but the Alliance hopes to understand more and expects you to answer truthfully."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded.


    "The reports say you killed two Semi Divine Level geniuses with a single move, how did you do it? As far as we know, the most powerful among these Semi Divine Level geniuses have already reached the Fifth Stage High Rank in their skills," the Demigod of Qing He asked directly, "Did you gain any special permissions while in the World within Worlds?"


    "No permissions," Li Yuan shook his head, "I killed them because my Physical Quality has increased very rapidly... My Physical Quality has reached Level 26."


    "Level 26?" Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "That quickly?" Both the Demigod of Flame City and the Demigod of Qing He were somewhat surprised.


    They both carried Life Detectors... but with Li Yuan''s current strength, he could easily conceal some of his own aura, making it not difficult.


    Therefore, the Inquiry was not accurate.


    "How did you do it?" the Demigod of Qing He asked, frowning, "According to the information, you only obtained one Myriad Life Extension Fruit... It shouldn''t have raised you to Level 26 no matter what."


    His eyes were sharp, trying to see through Li Yuan, and putting subtle pressure on him.


    "Luck," Li Yuan said easily, with his spiritual power, although far from matching his Demigod opponents.


    But resisting a little spiritual pressure was effortless.


    "You need to explain your..." the Demigod of Qing He was about to press Li Yuan further.


    "Demigod of Qing He," Fang Hai, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "There is no need to press Li Yuan on things he doesn''t wish to say; he has that right."


    "Right? From where? Why don''t I know about it?" the Demigod of Qing He frowned.


    The Demigod of Flame City also showed a hint of surprise.


    "This right, I applied for it from my master before coming here," Fang Hai said slowly, "Li Yuan is a core member of the Starfire Martial Hall, and moreover, a person from Xia Country."


    Instantly, the meeting room fell silent.


    "Alliance Hierarch?" the Demigod of Qing He was taken aback.


    Fang Hai''s master, that was Dongfang Ji... his issuing of this command was a kind of special protection for Li Yuan.


    Both being Demigods.


    But the Demigod of Qing He knew the difference between himself and Dongfang Ji... Dongfang Ji was a terrifying existence that made many powerful civilizations wary and could do nothing about.


    How many Demigods died at the hands of Dongfang Ji during the battle when the Myriad Demons Civilization invaded Feixing?


    ```

 Chapter 258 Principals Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)_4

    Sure!In the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji is equivalent to a god. When he issues an order, even all demigods of the supreme alliance council must obey.


    Since he has given the order, Li Yuan has the authority not to answer.


    Then, Li Yuan has.


    "Principal, in fact, it could be said," Li Yuan smiled and said, "in the Divine Palace ruins, I received the inheritance of a demigod under that Fire System Divine, and among the Inheritance Treasures, there was a special treasure that could rapidly enhance Physical Quality."


    This was an excuse Li Yuan had thought of in advance.


    He had also inquired with the Boundary Spirit... apart from himself and Lin Lanyue, no one knew about the Earth System Divine, not even the demigods from Flame City.


    In the past, although the demigod from Flame City had merged with the fragmentary True Phoenix Bloodline, he still fell slightly short of the mark... therefore, he did not become a named disciple.


    And Li Yuan believed that Lanyue would not reveal the secret.


    "Obtained from the demigod inheritance?" The Qinghe Demigod frowned, he did not really believe it in his heart.


    "Li Yuan, the demigod inheritance you received, can you talk about the experiences?" the Qinghe Demigod asked.


    "Sure, it required passing through multiple tests..." Li Yuan slightly modified his own Third Layer of tests, telling half-truths and half-lies.


    "But my tests differ slightly from the intelligence reports of the Blazing Flame Family. The ones who come after can only refer to them..." Li Yuan said, "I don''t know much about the secrets of the World within Worlds."


    This was a disclaimer, not ensuring the veracity of the information.


    Time passed.


    The Qinghe Demigod posed question after question, to which Li Yuan mostly answered that he did not know.


    Some were genuinely unknown to him, and some he had to feign ignorance.


    "Okay."


    "One final question, do you know why the other passageway in the World within Worlds is closed?" The Qinghe Demigod looked at Li Yuan; this was the issue the higher-ups were very concerned about.


    "I know." S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I once had the alliance check information about ''Chi Divine Race,''" Li Yuan said, "It''s because the Fire System Divine in the World within Worlds and this Chi Divine being were enemies, his inheritance naturally wouldn''t allow the descendants of an enemy to receive it."


    "To be enemies with the Chi Divine being?" Not just the Qinghe Demigod, even Fang Hai and the demigod from Flame City showed surprise.


    Li Yuan remained calm.


    This was also the real reason... otherwise, in the eyes of the Boundary Spirit, all who entered the World within Worlds were potential ''successors;'' how could it show such favoritism?


    It was precisely because the ''Chi Divine Race'' was the enemy.


    The Boundary Spirit chose to close that one passageway.


    Li Yuan even suspected that the sudden appearance of a second channel in the World within Worlds was the Boundary Spirit''s desire for more Fire System warriors and Earth System warriors to take part in the inheritance tests.


    "Li Yuan, did you summon me because of Lanyue?" the demigod from Flame City suddenly asked.


    "Yes."


    "As far as I know, Lanyue, due to her bloodline, has become a named disciple of a Fire System Divine," Li Yuan said, "Deep within the ruins, Lanyue mentioned it to me... You know the specific reason."


    "A named disciple? She has become one?" The demigod from Flame City''s eyes lit up, revealing a smile involuntarily.


    Of course, he knew the reason.


    More than a hundred years ago, he had luckily merged with the fragmentary True Phoenix Bloodline... although he did not become a disciple of a Divine, the Boundary Spirit also revealed his mission to him.


    It was to produce offspring, to see if among his descendants some would emerge with a higher concentration of the True Phoenix Bloodline.


    Then, by returning to the World within Worlds and merging with another fragment of the True Phoenix Bloodline, there was hope of meeting the minimum requirements to become the master and inherit the Divine Artifact.


    For this reason, the Blazing Flame Family was established.


    The demigod from Flame City had not held such high expectations for Lin Lanyue... yet, to his surprise, it actually happened.


    "The named disciple of a Divine?" Fang Hai laughed and said, "Demigod of Flame City, congratulations."


    "Good news." Even the Qinghe Demigod rarely showed a trace of a smile.


    Continue your adventure with empire


    Their status and vision were extremely high, and they clearly understood the concept of a Divine disciple.


    Even if she were only a named disciple, even if the Divine had passed away... the probability of her becoming a Demigod in the future was extremely high.


    It was like with Flying Heaven Warriors, it''s very difficult to train another Flying Heaven Warrior, but to train a Prime Warrior, it''s quite easy.


    And in fact.


    The gap between a Demigod and a Divine... is far greater than the gap between a Prime Warrior and a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "Li Yuan, thank you for bringing this news," the demigod from Flame City said with a smile on his face, "this is my V-communication number... If there is anything you need help with in the future, just reach out to me."


    The demigod from Flame City offered his goodwill proactively.


    "Thanks, Demigod." Naturally, Li Yuan accepted this gesture of goodwill; a Demigod was among the highest tiers of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ...


    The demigod from Flame City and the Qinghe Demigod left.


    "Don''t take the questioning from the Qinghe Demigod too much to heart," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, "He''s not deliberately targeting you, but just following procedure... Many demigods actually don''t like to do such offensive work."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded, "Thanks to you, Principal, and the command from Elder Dongfang Ji."


    "My master didn''t give a command; I just said it on the spot," Fang Hai said with a faint smile, "Anyway, he dares not ask my master for confirmation."


    Li Yuan was astonished; could one really play it like that?

 Chapter 259 Fang Hais Joy and Shock (Extra 48)

    Faking an order from the senior Dongfang Ji? But then thinking about Fang Hai''s strength and identity, Li Yuan let it go.Regardless, the interrogation had been passed.


    As for the questions from the Blue River Demigod, Li Yuan didn''t really have any thoughts on it; it was just standard procedure.


    After all, his performance had been too monstrous, too illogical; it was completely normal that the higher-ups of the alliance would have questions and conduct some inquiries.


    This was something any power would do.


    "In the World within Worlds, you must have had some extra big gains." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said, "But you don''t need to worry too much, even if, as some Demigods suspect, you have received a Divine Being Inheritance, the alliance''s upper echelons won''t take it from you."


    Li Yuan listened.


    Wow! So there really were Demigods in the alliance who speculated that he had obtained a Divine Being Inheritance.


    "First of all, your talent is extremely high; from the perspective of the entire civilization, it''s impossible to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. You should still trust the alliance''s higher-ups," Fang Hai said.


    "I understand," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    "Secondly, about divine inheritances... Our Seven Star Civilization has obtained inheritances from not just one Divine Being," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    "Our civilization has Divine Being Inheritances?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Of course, when you soon reach Seven Star Mountain, you will naturally understand," Fang Hai said with a smile. "If we hadn''t received Divine Being Inheritances, how could our civilization, as a newly promoted Fourth Level Civilization, have risen so quickly in just a few hundred years?"


    "And produce so many Demigods? Right now, our civilization has dozens of Demigods, quite a few more than Tianliang Civilization," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his heart rather surprised.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization actually had dozens of Demigods? But thinking about it, it wasn''t so strange... Xia Country alone had three Demigods.


    Demigods have a lifespan of a thousand years... at least the Demigods born of the Seven Star Civilization are all still far from reaching the end of their lifespans.


    "Additionally, you have made great contributions this time, and the higher-ups are tallying them up," Fang Hai said. "There will definitely be a great reward, just that it requires some time to wait."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    The great battle in the World within Worlds had just ended; tallying merits and counting losses indeed required time.


    "I estimate, at the minimum, you will be rewarded with 5000 Seven Stars Points," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    "Seven Stars Points?" Li Yuan''s eyes flickered with confusion.


    Just now, the headmaster and Yu Jinghe mentioned the Seven Stars Points.


    "These are resources needed for purchasing some restricted treasures," Fang Hai said with a smile. "You should understand that Blue Star Coins... can''t buy Fourth Rank treasures."


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    Exactly! Like in the Starfire Treasure Repository, many rare treasures are astonishingly valuable, worth hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins, or even more.


    But the limit is the Third Rank''s finest treasures.


    Fourth Rank treasures? You can''t even see them in the Starfire Treasure Repository.


    "But with Seven Stars Points, you can exchange for Fourth Rank treasures," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. "Seven Stars Points correspond to the Seven Stars Treasury... which is the entire civilization''s treasury. The ''Starfire Treasure Repository'' that the warriors of the Martial Hall use is just a part of the Seven Stars Treasury."


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, the entire civilization''s treasury?


    There must be a large number of rare treasures.


    Before, Li Yuan was pondering where to procure some treasures for practicing some Star Techniques.


    "Previously, you were too weak, so you weren''t granted access," Fang Hai said with a smile. "But now, your strength has improved rapidly. Once the rewards come through, they will certainly allow you access."


    "Headmaster," Li Yuan couldn''t help saying, "how much are 5000 Seven Stars Points actually worth?"


    "If you were to trade them for Blue Star Coins," Fang Hai said with a smile, "one Seven Stars Point can easily be exchanged for a hundred million Blue Star Coins. Many powerful individuals would be willing to trade with you."


    "Normally, like the Myriad Life Extension Fruit you took last time, it''s worth about 1000 points."


    Li Yuan was surprised to hear that.


    So, 5000 Seven Stars Points were worth at least five hundred billion Blue Star Coins?


    The reward wasn''t small.


    "In reality, the value you''ve created far exceeds 5000 Seven Stars Points. Just that one mysterious stone chamber alone, rewarding you with twenty or thirty thousand Seven Stars Points would be justified," Fang Hai spoke frankly. "But you also understand... the treasures of the entire civilization are limited."


    "There''re big expenses everywhere, so the rewards can only be limited."


    "Headmaster, now that my strength is growing stronger, naturally, I should make some contributions," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Not to mention, like the ''Myriad Life Extension Fruit'' last time, it was directly awarded as a reward.


    The sheer amount of treasures being almost freely given to cultivate young talents... where does it all come from?


    Naturally, it''s the contributions of the high-ranking powerful beings.


    "Headmaster, I won''t conceal it from you, what I got was indeed a Demigod Inheritance. After all, this is the inheritance site of a Fire System Divine, and his strongest Earth System lineage warriors are only Demigods," Li Yuan said with a slight bow. "However, the Boundary Spirit that controls the entire World within Worlds gave me a lot of help."


    "I''ve gained quite a few treasures, some of which I don''t need right now," Li Yuan said half-true, half-false. "The most precious of them is a divine Visualization Method."


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his palm, Li Yuan revealed a translucent jade in his hand, emanating a strange fluctuation.


    "Visualization Method?" Fang Hai, who had not been too concerned at first, moved his gaze, showing a hint of surprise.


    "You don''t need it for yourself?" Fang Hai couldn''t help but ask.


    "I already have one; this is an extra, all left by that Demigod," Li Yuan said. "I know the Visualization Method is precious, but I don''t have a better channel, so I was thinking, maybe I could exchange it for some other treasures through you, Headmaster."


    This was the result of Li Yuan''s recent consideration.


    Selling it directly to the Starfire Martial Hall? He didn''t know how much it would be worth... Better find a trustworthy senior.


    Among those Li Yuan knew,


    the strongest and most trustworthy were Fang Hai and Bai Shan, the Semi-Divine. Stay connected via empire


    "Sell it? Exchange for other treasures?" Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, silence for a few seconds before sighing lightly, "You lad, it seems you really don''t understand its value."


    "It''s considered priceless at the highest level of civilization, even extremely important to Demigods."


    "In our civilization, there is none to spare; it''s all been used up long ago," Fang Hai said. "It''s simply not possible to put it up for sale."


    "All used up?" Li Yuan''s heart stirred slightly, recalling what Yu Jinghe had said not long ago.


    In actuality, Li Yuan might not be ignorant, but he had his own considerations and thoughts.


    He pondered for a moment.


    "Li Yuan, how about this," Fang Hai looked toward Li Yuan, and said slowly, "Sell me the Visualization Method."


    "30,000 Seven Stars Points!"


    "Of course, that''s not the true value of the Visualization Method, but that''s all the Seven Stars Points I have on hand right now," Fang Hai said directly, "When I have enough Seven Stars Points later on, I''ll make it up to you. If there''s any treasure you want, you can also tell me."


    30,000 Seven Stars Points? Li Yuan''s heart trembled slightly.


    That was definitely enough for his upcoming cultivation needs.


    "Principal, don''t you have a Visualization Method?" Li Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.


    Fang Hai was a top-level genius from the Seven Star Civilization, after all.


    "No," Fang Hai shook his head, somewhat wistfully, "Visualization Methods aren''t that easy to come by."


    "Principal."


    "Then 30,000 Seven Stars Points, it is enough," Li Yuan said with a smile, "This Visualization Method is useless to me, and as for trading with others... I''m afraid other demi-gods might not be willing to give me 30,000 points."


    "With your talent, Principal, having an additional Visualization Method will only make you more fearsome. I think you have hope of reaching the level of a predecessor like Dongfang Ji," Li Yuan said, half-flattering, half sincere.


    Time passed.


    Eventually, on Li Yuan''s strong insistence, Fang Hai obtained the Visualization Method from Li Yuan for 30,000 Seven Stars Points.


    After such a transaction.


    Fang Hai''s view of Li Yuan became increasingly favorable; in the past, he had only regarded Li Yuan as a junior and student worth cultivating... Even though Li Yuan had performed exceptionally well this time, Fang Hai had just appreciated him more.


    But having ''cheaply purchased'' the Visualization Method from Li Yuan, Fang Hai suddenly felt... lucky!


    Li Yuan was his great fortune.


    It should be known that Fang Hai had also made efforts to obtain a Visualization Method; Dongfang Ji had helped him... but he had never waited for the right opportunity.


    Now, he had unexpectedly obtained one from Li Yuan.


    "With the Visualization Method, the hope of my breakthrough to the demi-god level spiritual power will be much greater, and the certainty of achieving my goal will naturally be much higher," Fang Hai silently thought.


    The transformation of spiritual power became more difficult as one progressed.


    Prime Warriors with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power? Top-level geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef, whether relying on treasures or through the natural nurture of heaven and earth, could all achieve it.


    But for Flying Heaven Level to have demi-god level spiritual power? Even Fang Hai couldn''t manage that.


    Even true demigods, after their breakthrough, often take decades to nurture their souls with their powerful bodies before their souls truly enter the demi-god realm.


    In short, extremely difficult!


    But having the Visualization Method would increase the hope by more than tenfold.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, in the report you submitted, you said you obtained two Star Techniques, what are they?" Fang Hai asked with a smile, "Can you tell me?"


    "Actually, there were three."


    "Two of them are Earth System Divine Body Star Techniques, one Seventh Layers, one Fifth Layer," Li Yuan said with a smile, "But actually, the biggest gain I had in the Divine Palace ruins was the initial mastery of a Supreme Star Technique."


    "What?"


    "Supreme Star Technique?" Fang Hai''s expression changed, disbelieving as he stared at Li Yuan, even more shocked than when he saw the Visualization Method.


    Because this was a Supreme Star Technique!


    Although Visualization Methods are rare, there are still quite a few... but Fang Hai had never seen anyone learn a Supreme Star Technique.


    "This Star Technique, actually Principal, you know it," Li Yuan said with a smile, "It is ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' gifted to me by Bai Shan Semi-Divine."


    Quickly.


    Li Yuan changed his story slightly and recounted the true situation with the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.''


    "''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' turns out to be a support-type Supreme Star Technique?" Although Fang Hai kept a calm demeanor, his heart was filled with shock.


    "After I awakened my star veins earlier, I cultivated this Star Technique as instructed by Bai Shan Semi-Divine," Li Yuan said wistfully, "After obtaining the inheritance, I then knew it was a Supreme Star Technique."

    This was what Li Yuan had planned before returning from the World within Worlds.


    To gradually reveal his own talent.


    "No,"


    "You just said, you had initially mastered it," Fang Hai seemed to realize something late, staring at Li Yuan as if seeing a monster, "Have you awakened the Nine Layer Star Vein?"


    "Yes."


    "Within the depths of the Divine Palace ruins, I transformed and awakened the first Star Meridian to ''Nine Layers'', and successfully cultivated this Star Technique to the pinnacle of First Rank," Li Yuan said earnestly, "Principal, please look."


    While saying this, Li Yuan''s thoughts shifted, and he activated his star meridians.


    Boom!


    Under Li Yuan''s deliberate eruption, a hazy earth-yellow glow appeared on the surface of his body, with over a hundred thousand luminous points coming together to form star meridians... revealing them entirely in front of Fang Hai.


    "Nine Layer Star Vein?" Fang Hai, observing this scene, was thoroughly convinced.


    And in his heart, a storm was already brewing.


    "My Seven Star Civilization has finally given birth to its first owner of the Nine Layer Star Vein!"

    ps: Last 4 hours!! Seeking monthly tickets!


    Brothers! Around eleven o''clock, I will strive to write another large chapter!!


    Let''s take the first place!!

 Chapter 260 Dongfang Jis Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)

    Fang Hai had long known that Li Yuan''s Star Meridian talent was extremely high.As a member of the highest echelon of the alliance, during numerous meetings, he had discussed Li Yuan with other Star Masters and even Semi-Divine beings... all agreed that Li Yuan would definitely be able to awaken Six Star Veins in the future.


    Seven Star Veins? There was a glimmer of hope.


    Similarly, Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine had also discussed the matter, believing that Li Yuan had the potential to awaken several Seventh Layer Star Veins or even Eighth Layer Star Veins in the future... but Nine Layer Star Veins? Indeed, that was unthinkable!


    Whether it was Seven Star Veins or Nine Layer Star Veins, both were legends in many dimensional planes.


    Had anyone cultivated to that level? Yes! But it was extremely rare, and many Divine beings found it difficult to find disciples with such Star Vein talent.


    Between the two, if one was to say which was more difficult, then the Seven Star Veins were even more challenging.


    But!!


    Even though Fang Hai was confident in Li Yuan and believed in his potential, he could never have imagined... that just less than a month after becoming a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan had already awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein.


    He had even mastered the basics of a Ninefold Star Technique, truly cultivating it to the First Order Limit.


    This! It was beyond the limits of his imagination... like an elder who had high hopes for a younger relative, thinking that with decades of hard work in cultivation, the relative might have the chance to become a millionaire, whereas the young one directly reveals a wealth surpassing hundreds of millions.


    "Inconceivable! A monster!" Fang Hai could no longer hide the shock on his face.


    In the past, he had always considered himself highly talented and gifted, barely giving way even to his master, ''Dongfang Ji''. He had always aimed to emulate his own master.


    But now?


    After a long moment.


    "Li Yuan, conceal your Star Veins and Star Technique," Fang Hai finally regained his composure, his face now showing a trace of solemnity: "You haven''t leaked the news of your awakening of the Nine Layer Star Vein to anyone else, have you?"


    "No," Li Yuan replied, shaking his head.


    "That''s good," Fang Hai said, staring intently at Li Yuan, his voice low: "Remember, this is a major secret, you can''t tell anyone, even Dean Hai or Bai Shan Semi-Divine."


    "You must never reveal it." Fang Hai''s expression was more serious than ever before, even more than when he first saw the ''Visualization Method'' S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Not even Bai Shan Semi-Divine?" Li Yuan asked hesitantly.


    "No!"


    Fang Hai spoke earnestly: "The more people who know, the greater the risk of it being leaked... You simply do not understand that once the news of your awakening of the Nine Layer Star Vein is leaked, it could cause an immense storm."


    "How many Star Veins have you awakened now?" Fang Hai inquired.


    "Four," Li Yuan replied: "Additionally, three of them are at the Fifth Layer, Second Layer, and Second Layer, respectively. That''s why I was able to achieve the First Order Limit by mastering another Body Refining Star Technique of the Fifth Layer."


    "No wonder you were able to easily solve two Semi Divine Level geniuses," Fang Hai nodded slightly: "If you cultivated for another ten years, awakening Six Star Veins and then awakening another Nine Layer Star Vein... it would still be shocking, but it would be within the realm of comprehension."


    "But what about now?"


    "Less than a month after becoming a Prime Warrior, at only Level 26, your spiritual power merely at Flying Heaven, your skill probably hasn''t reached the Sixth Stage... and yet you''ve awakened your Star Veins to this extent."


    "Such talent, to say you won''t awaken Seven Star Veins in the future... I suppose no one would believe it." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: "Even what''s called Divine-Grade ''Eight Star Veins'' might not be completely out of the question."


    Li Yuan was listening.


    Divine? Based on what he knew, the Ancient Torch Divine was one of the stronger ones among the Divine beings, with only Seven Star Veins.


    Even Gu You''s highest expectation for him was only to awaken Eight Star Veins.


    All this was enough to prove just how rare and hard to come by seven or Eight Star Veins were. Enjoy new chapters from empire


    "A tall tree catches the wind."


    "My Seven Star Civilization is at war with many powerful civilizations for some special reasons," Fang Hai said solemnly: "Especially the Myriad Demons Civilization... that is a powerful civilization that has produced more than one Divine being, always coveting our Seven Star Civilization, trying to completely conquer us."


    "The two wars that almost destroyed Feixing in history were both started by the Myriad Demons Civilization."


    "Your current performance is already enough of a genius." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: "Once the news of the great war in the World within Worlds gradually spreads... The Myriad Demons Civilization will target you and secretly attempt to assassinate you."


    "Assassinate?" The memory of the Tianliang Civilization''s attempt to assassinate him crossed Li Yuan''s mind.


    "If they learn of your terrifying Star Vein talent, they would likely go to any length, even bewitch the Flying Heaven Level and Semi-Divine of our civilization to come to kill you," Fang Hai said gravely.


    Li Yuan was shocked to hear this, bewitch the Semi-Divine of a civilization?


    Was that not madness?


    "Don''t be surprised, the vast majority of the Flying Heaven Martial Artists and Semi-Divine in a civilization are naturally good," Fang Hai''s eyes were firm: "But human desires are infinite, never test human hearts... In history, there have been cases of Semi-Divine betraying our Seven Star Civilization."


    "Semi-Divine betrayal?" Li Yuan''s heart trembled; this was definitely top-secret information.


    Semi-Divine, that was the pinnacle of a civilization''s martial power.


    "In short."


    "Not to be disclosed." Fang Hai said earnestly: "I will report to my master, but from now on, aside from myself and my master, you cannot tell anyone else, understood?"


    "Yes," Li Yuan realized the seriousness of the situation.


    It seemed the conflict and hostility between the Seven Star Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization had reached such a critical point.


    It sounded like.


    Other civilizations, like the Tianliang and Cloud Beast Civilizations, were not the true threats... It was the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    "Once you gradually grow stronger."


    "Once you are at the Flying Heaven Level, even a Semi-Divine, you will have no fear of storms." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: "At the moment, you can barely protect yourself... but you are still far from truly dominating a sector."


    "The student will surely work hard," Li Yuan said solemnly.


    "Good."


    "You must be tired from your journey, rest here for a while; I have some matters to attend to. When I return, we''ll head back to Blue Star together," Fang Hai said.


    "Yes."


    ... Watching Fang Hai leave the conference room, Li Yuan sat in the chair, silently circulating his Star Veins and regulating his breath.

 Chapter 260 Dongfang Jis Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)_2

    ```"It should be enough to show," thought Li Yuan to himself.


    During his time in the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had been pondering a question.


    The strength he had revealed in this battle was defying the heavens.


    What if someone from the Seven Star Civilization, a Demigod, was determined to pry into his secrets?


    On his own, he couldn''t withstand the scrutiny of a Demigod.


    The inquiry from the Demigod Qinghe seemed routine, but it also added to Li Yuan''s worries... If Fang Hai hadn''t been there to interfere, would Qinghe have pursued his questioning to the end?


    From past experiences, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization don''t tend to be shortsighted, generally speaking, they are quite just.


    However, it''s never wrong to be cautious.


    Therefore, in a very short period of time,


    Li Yuan thought of three strategies to respond.


    Firstly, if a Demigod were spying on him, it would be because they suspected he possessed a valuable treasure. So, he would offer a treasure, which led to Li Yuan producing the "Visualization Method".


    Secondly, he needed to find a real powerful backer within the alliance.


    Bai Shan Demigod? He could ask, but wasn''t persuasive enough! He might not deter the other Demigods, so if he were to seek the strongest, but could not find Dongfang Ji... Li Yuan chose Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai was a direct disciple of Dongfang Ji, a man from Xia Country, and the Hall Master of Starfire Martial Hall in Blue Star... in every respect, he was definitely from the direct line of Dongfang Ji''s own faction.


    His character also inspired quite a bit of trust in Li Yuan.


    "I am also a member of Starfire Martial Hall, a person from Xia Country," Li Yuan thought to himself, "and even more so, the Principal''s student, sharing a bond of mentorship... should I present the Principal with a ''Visualization Method''?"


    Seniors investing in juniors don''t necessarily expect repayment... but if the juniors remember and appreciate the kindness, the seniors are certainly very pleased.


    "The Principal''s status is already comparable to that of a Demigod, and I''ll become the Principal''s direct line," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Essentially, this means entering the most core circle of the Starfire Martial Hall."


    "Then, Senior Dongfang Ji... would become my strongest support!" Li Yuan thought thoroughly.


    The third step, and most crucial first step¡ªreveal one''s talents.


    Allies can falter, so the strongest backup must be oneself... thus Li Yuan demonstrated his extraordinary talent to Fang Hai to prove his own value.


    "Step by step."


    "In a situation where the Principal already had a very good impression of me, to further highlight my own value," Li Yuan mused. "Barring any accidents, the Principal would quickly get in touch with Senior Dongfang Ji."


    "And grant me... the best cultivation conditions in the entire civilization."


    "My only problem is that I''ve revealed my talents a bit too quickly," Li Yuan muttered. "But, desperate times call for desperate measures. If I do not thoroughly impress the Principal in one go, with his talent and strength, he might not regard me so highly."


    In Li Yuan''s view, at a minimum, Fang Hai possessed Six Star Pulse, and might even have awakened Seven Star Veins.


    ...


    As Li Yuan reviewed his thoughts and deliberated,


    in the top-most confidential room of this base, a highly secret chamber,


    Countless rays of light converged, forming a large projection.


    Fang Hai waited patiently, for several minutes, when suddenly, the screen trembled slightly.


    A blurred figure appeared on the projection.


    Fang Hai''s eyes brightened and he bowed slightly, saying, "Master."


    "Xiao Hai, what''s the matter that you activated encrypted communication?" The soft voice of the blurred figure echoed in the room.


    "It''s important."


    "I feared being spied upon, so I initiated the highest level of encryption on the virtual network," Fang Hai said gravely.


    "Speak," said the blurred figure, knowing his disciple well.


    "Li Yuan."


    "It''s the same Li Yuan I''ve mentioned to you before," Fang Hai said. "He has just returned from the Fierce Feather Star Realm. In the World within Worlds, he..."


    Fang Hai quickly relayed Li Yuan''s general situation.


    The blurred figure listened silently, being the strongest in the entire civilization, the absolute number one.


    In his eyes, his enemies and competitors were unimaginably strong, even including deities from other civilizations.


    Li Yuan? His performance, though outstanding, was considered by the figure to be¡ªquite good.


    Even when hearing about the "Visualization Method," the blurred figure showed no reaction. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But then!


    When Fang Hai said, "Li Yuan has awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein and cultivated a Supreme Star Technique to its First Order Limit..."


    "Nine Layer Star Vein?" the blurred figure finally spoke, "Are you certain?"


    "I''ve personally verified it, no doubt about it," Fang Hai stated solemnly.


    Silence followed; Fang Hai knew his master was contemplating.


    After a while,


    "Order him not to leak any information," the softened voice of the blurred figure instructed. "Additionally, when he arrives at Seven Star Mountain, on the surface, provide him with a series of cultivation treasures following the normal process... but secretly, start providing him with the highest level of cultivation on Seven Star Mountain starting next month."


    "In the months before he reaches Seven Star Mountain, let him stay within your watch, protect him well."


    "Everything as usual."


    "I will handle it well, and you make sure he cooperates. Before he truly grows strong, he must not reveal his true Star Meridian talent... no Demigod, no Star Master, must know," the blurred figure spoke. "Understand?"


    "Yes," replied Fang Hai earnestly.


    "Perhaps, my Seven Star Civilization might give rise to another invincible Semi-Divine being, or even... a Divine being," the blurred voice said.


    A trace of anticipation also filled Fang Hai''s heart.


    The talent that Li Yuan had revealed was indeed unbelievably strong.


    "How is your cultivation progressing? Have you been able to advance?" the blurred figure inquired again.


    "The Law of the Great Dao is difficult, progress is slow," Fang Hai said quietly. "I have disappointed you, Teacher."


    "That''s normal."


    "The Law of the Great Dao, the essential mystery of the universe, is extremely hard for anyone with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power to comprehend... You''ve achieved entrance and are already considered a rare genius throughout the civilization," the blurred figure spoke slowly. "When I was at the Flying Heaven Level, I was not as advanced as you."


    "But Teacher, you stood at the very pinnacle among the Demigods at that time," Fang Hai couldn''t help saying. Stay updated through empire

    "So, don''t slack off, you have the potential to surpass your teacher," the blurry figure said, "Just be patient, the Wanhan Star Realm... judging by the time, it should soon emerge.""If you can succeed, you will truly have a chance to break through the ''Seventh Leaf World''."


    "The disciple dares not compare with the teacher, but I will give it my all," Fang Hai said.


    In the eyes of outsiders, he was a supreme powerhouse commanding respect, who could swiftly gather dozens or hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors with a single command... but in front of his teacher, he was always very respectful.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai once again stepped into the conference room, his expression appearing quite indifferent, as if nothing had happened.


    "Principal," Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai.


    "Let''s go, back to Blue Star," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    "Yes."


    The two quickly descended the stairs, and not far from the war base was the airport.


    "Which aircraft shall we take?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "No need for an aircraft," Fang Hai revealed a slight smile, "True powerhouses rely on their own power to fly."


    "Let''s go."


    Hum~


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, so strong that he couldn''t resist at all.


    Boom! Fang Hai, carrying Li Yuan, shot into the sky, and their speed quickly soared to several times the speed of sound.


    Much faster than a regular aircraft.


    "Flying Heaven Warrior!"


    "It''s a Flying Heaven Warrior, the instrument indicates a speed of 2642 meters/second!!" In the war base, a warrior responsible for high-altitude Inquiry immediately detected them.


    "Approaching seven times the speed of sound?"


    "Definitely a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior!!"


    "Too bad we can''t see who it is."


    ...


    As Fang Hai carried Li Yuan and flew directly toward Feixing, the transportation hub of the Third Star Realm on Blue Star,


    In another grand city of Feixing, the Qinghe Semi Divine had already returned to their own garrison.


    "Not right!"


    "Something is off." The Qinghe Semi Divine suddenly realized the problem, "If the Alliance Hierarch had really issued a command ''to allow Li Yuan not to answer,'' San Ye would definitely have told me."


    "Even if it was issued later, San Ye would have definitely communicated with me."


    San Ye Semi Divine was another highly respected Semi Divine of the Starfire Martial Hall and was the one Dongfang Ji trusted the most.


    They were in charge of the routine affairs of the Starfire Martial Hall all year round.


    Thinking of this.


    "Beep~" Qinghe Semi Divine had naturally ascertained the truth without hesitation, and immediately dialed San Ye Semi Divine''s communication.


    Soon.


    "Qinghe? What''s the matter?" A gentle voice rang out.


    "San Ye, I want to report Fang Hai," Qinghe Semi Divine said with a hint of anger in the voice, "He dared to misuse the Alliance Hierarch''s order, interfering with my normal Inquiry into Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan?" The gentle voice seized on the key point, "Is it that Li Yuan from Xia Country who just made great contributions in the Fierce Feather Star Realm?"


    "Yes, it''s him," Qinghe Semi Divine was about to continue, "He did make great contributions, but he..."

    "Qinghe Semi Divine."


    "The Alliance Hierarch did indeed issue a command, from now on, all affairs concerning Li Yuan will no longer be the responsibility of your internal oversight department," said the gentle voice, "You are not allowed to investigate further, everything is to be directly managed by Star Master Fang Hai."


    "What?" the Qinghe Demigod exclaimed in shock, "When was the order issued?"


    "Classified, I cannot divulge."


    ...


    Almost at the exact same time, S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.


    "Have you gathered all the information on Li Yuan?" Mintian Hou''s eyes faintly reddened.


    "We have, it''s confirmed that Freya and Roman were indeed killed by the Seven Star Civilization''s genius Li Yuan, but the specific means he used are still unknown," several officials replied with heads bowed, fearing to enrage Mintian Hou.


    These past few days,


    Mintian Hou had been like a furious lion, even injuring a close Flying Heaven Warrior to the point of severe injury in his anger, making everyone in the office fear for their safety.


    "Spread the word! Go and broadcast it far and wide!"


    "Go!"


    "Exaggerate his performance even more, send it to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization... send it to all the hostile forces against the Seven Star Civilization." Mintian Hou''s eyes were filled with endless hatred, "Hurry, I want to hear of his death as soon as possible."


    "Yes," the several officials replied as if pardoned from death, quickly leaving.


    Leaving only Mintian Hou standing in the empty conference room.


    "Genius?"


    "Unprecedentedly monstrous talent?" Hatred seethed in Mintian Hou''s eyes, "Dare to spoil my plans, he must die! Must die!"


    His personality had always been one of retaliation for every grievance.


    As for whether Li Yuan would retaliate, Mintian Hou was never concerned.


    However formidable, could he possibly kill his way into the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?


    ...


    Not long after,


    the Myriad Demons Civilization, located in another dimensional plane, had already received the message from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    A few of the Myriad Demons Civilization''s Flying Heaven Warriors, looking at the intelligence in their hands.


    "Li Yuan?"


    "What? A genius completely surpassing Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai? The Seven Star Civilization''s first genius in history?"


    "One move to annihilate two Semi Divine Level talents? Fake, surely! Impossible!"


    "Is the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom suffering too great a loss, deliberately exaggerating to use us to eliminate Li Yuan?" These Flying Heaven Warriors were very astute, quickly sensing something was off with the intelligence.


    It was too detailed.


    Only a few days had passed, could the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom really have gathered intelligence to this extent? It was illogical.


    The probability of exaggeration was high.


    "But no matter what, this Li Yuan''s talent must certainly be extremely high, we should make a thorough inquiry into him."


    "Collect his information."


    "The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom certainly wants to use us to kill with a borrowed knife, but my Myriad Demons Civilization... we''ve always wanted to kill the Seven Star Civilization''s top talents anyway."


    "If the opportunity arises, we must assassinate him," these Flying Heaven Warriors quickly reported upwards.


    Eventually, the order came through¡ªassassinate!


    The vast Myriad Demons Civilization had deep infiltration into the Seven Star Civilization... but for the powerful Myriad Demons Civilization, ordinary Prime Warrior talents simply weren''t worth the effort of elimination.


    Only those with Semi Divine Level gifts warranted vigilance.


    Of course,


    every assassination against a super talent often took a long time to prepare, requiring detailed intelligence gathering first.

    ...Just half a day.


    Li Yuan had already followed Fang Hai, traversing the Star Realm and planets, returning to the long-missed Blue Star.


    Above Kunlun Martial University.


    "Back again," Li Yuan looked down at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar campus below.


    In the past month, he had changed too much and experienced too much.


    "From now until July, don''t go out and venture," Fang Hai said, "just stay in the school and cultivate in peace until you go to the Martial Divine Hall in July."


    "Your permissions have been elevated to the peak of the Flying Heaven Level, and the Seven Stars Treasure Vault has been opened... If you miss your family, arrange for someone from the Martial Hall to bring them to the school," Fang Hai instructed.


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded.


    He knew what the principal meant.


    Safety! Everything for safety! Too many people were watching him now.


    And his current strength, though seeming much stronger than before... was actually more dangerous.


    "Go on," Fang Hai waved his hand, "if there''s anything, contact me directly."


    On the way back, Li Yuan had already added the principal''s V-Message.


    Hum~


    An invisible force rapidly carried Li Yuan down several hundred meters, gently landing him on the grassy lawn.


    "Incredible."


    "Is this the threshold of the Law? Directly using the force of heaven and earth to fly others?" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In the high skies, Fang Hai''s figure had already disappeared.


    Suddenly.


    "Damn, Brother Yuan, you''re back?" A surprised shout rang out, followed by the nearby villa''s gate swinging open.


    Whoosh! A graceful figure instantly rushed out, excitedly hugging Li Yuan.


    It was Gu Qianghan.


    "Brother Yuan, you came to see me as soon as you got back? Missed me?" Gu Qianghan said with excitement.


    "Isn''t this my villa?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "No! This is my villa; look at the villa number," Gu Qianghan also seemed puzzled.


    Li Yuan glanced at the villa number and immediately understood¡ªFang Hai had sent him to the wrong place.


    ...Li Yuan returned to Kunlun Martial University, which only caused a little stir in the Sixth Institute and did not create too much of a disturbance.


    Most people.


    would only think that Li Yuan disappeared during this time to venture into the Star Realm or underwent special training by Starfire Martial Hall/the school. Discover hidden stories at empire


    After all, having won the virtual battle championship, there was no doubt about Li Yuan''s talent, and he no longer had to care about the school''s curriculum.


    The war in the Fierce Feather Star Realm? Maybe it would spread in the future, but it wouldn''t reach the Blue Star for the time being.


    ...Inside the villa.


    "Aunt, I was just out for some special training for a period, which is why I couldn''t be contacted," Li Yuan spoke to his family on the phone.


    In the projection, his uncle Li Changzhou''s complexion was much better than before.


    Li Changzhou had already taken the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit; with so much time having passed, his body had recovered, and his Physical Quality had even reached Level 10 again.


    "Muhua signed a contract with the Martial Hall? A D-level contract?" Li Yuan also heard about his brother''s news and couldn''t help smiling, "Not bad."


    Talking with his family, looking at the smiles on his aunt and uncle''s faces, Li Yuan smiled subconsciously as well.


    His heart grew even more peaceful.


    Wandering and fighting in the Star Realm, clashing with powerful beings from Foreign Domains... wasn''t it for this very moment?


    ...


    Upon returning to Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan''s life once again resumed its tranquility.


    Inside the villa.


    "From now until the assembly in July going to Feixing."


    "There are three more months," Li Yuan sat in the underground Martial Arts Room, silently pondering, "Cultivation can''t be delayed. I need to set a new training plan."


    "First of all, I must strive to raise my Physical Quality to Level 29 as soon as possible!"


    Suddenly.


    "Li Yuan, I will come to see you in ten minutes," a gentle voice sounded.


    It was Fang Hai''s voice.


    "Only three days back and the principal wants to see me again?" Li Yuan was startled. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ```"If we''re talking about real strength, I''m afraid I''m still not a match for my teacher."


    Li Yuan responded with a smile, "The teacher''s physical quality has long reached 29.9 degrees, much stronger than me. If he were to use his Star Technique, it would only be more terrifying."


    "Moreover, the teacher''s newly-understood True Intent Killing Move has not yet been truly unleashed," Li Yuan added.


    In the past two months, Li Yuan had often sparred with Li Yang in practical combat, aware of Li Yang''s real strength.


    With a Second Order Limit in physical quality and practicing two Star Techniques, his strength would be extremely formidable once unleashed.

    Among the dozens of top-grade Prime Warriors at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yang was ranked in the top five.


    Especially since his spiritual power reached the Flying Heaven Level, his skills had continuously improved, and in less than half a year, he had completely surpassed Dean Xu.


    "It''s just a physical quality advantage, nothing more," Li Yang shook his head and said, "Your physical quality is now close to 28 degrees. In the earlier fight, you were at an absolute disadvantage, yet you managed to defeat me. Even if I used my newly created True Intent..."


    "That''s enough." S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Enough already, let''s not have you students and teachers praising each other anymore," Dean Xu finally could not stand listening any longer and interrupted, "One is about to head to the Martial Divine Hall as Blue Star''s top talent of his generation, the other soon to become a Flying Heaven Warrior... both of you are just showing off in front of me, aren''t you?"


    Li Yuan and Li Yang were stunned at first, then both burst into laughter.


    After a moment,


    The two of them put away their weapons.


    "Li Yuan, the graduation ceremony is next week, join us for it," Li Yang said with a smile, "Otherwise, I''m heading to Feixing right away. If I hold a separate ceremony for you later, I won''t be able to attend."


    "Teacher, you''re going to Feixing immediately?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "Every top-grade Prime Warrior, if their skills reach the Fifth Stage High Rank and they invent a True Intent Killing Move, can apply to go to Feixing for a special training session provided by the alliance once," Dean Xu explained from the side. "Your teacher is qualified now."


    "When he returns, he is likely to have become a Flying Heaven Warrior," Dean Xu''s eyes showed a hint of envy.


    "Congratulations Teacher, good luck Teacher," Li Yuan''s eyes brightened as he said with a laugh, "I wish Teacher an early success in becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "Stop making fun of me," Li Yang said with a shake of his head, "It is true I just created the True Intent Killing Move, much quicker than I had anticipated.


    "But Li Yuan, your Skill Realm is even higher than mine... you should know how difficult it is to truly perfect a True Intent Killing Move," Li Yang sighed, "If I can truly break through to reach Fifth Stage Perfection and become a Flying Heaven Warrior in three years, that would be excellent."


    "Perfecting a True Intent Killing Move certainly is tough," Li Yuan said earnestly.


    In these two months, besides perfecting the second True Intent Killing Move, he had only come up with the third True Intent Killing Move, and even the third one was not yet fully accomplished... his comprehension of skills had not yet reached the Fifth Stage Limit, and the cultivation of skills indeed became harder as one advanced.


    "Teacher, I will apply for the graduation ceremony," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I just didn''t expect to have only spent a year at university."


    Li Yang and Dean Xu, hearing this, couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Haha, you must be the fastest graduating student in the history of Kunlun Martial University," Dean Xu said with a laugh, "Not even 18 when you enrolled, and not even 19 when you graduate."


    "Who knows, in the future, you might even become the most outstanding graduate of Kunlun Martial University," Li Yang said with a smile.


    Dean Xu and Li Yuan were both taken aback at this remark.


    After all, the most outstanding graduate in the history of Kunlun Martial University was Dongfang Ji.


    "I..." Li Yuan started to say.


    "Don''t be modest," Li Yang said with a smile, "Martial Arts Cultivation is full of hardships, but young men should always have dreams. Although senior Dongfang Ji is strong, there''s always hope for those who come after to surpass him."


    "There''s never a strongest, only stronger."


    "Why can''t my student be that person?" Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile, "Work hard, and when your biography spreads across the Seven Stars, you can also include me in it."


    "So that''s what you''re aiming for," Dean Xu quickly picked up the conversation.


    They all laughed again.


    But in Li Yuan''s heart, he was also silently thinking, "Indeed, why can''t it be me?"


    ...


    Night fell, and in the Martial Arts Room of the underground villa,


    "Who would have thought,"


    "In the blink of an eye, I almost have the strength comparable to Teacher Li Yang," Li Yuan reflected with some emotion.


    Li Yuan still remembered.


    The impression Teacher Li Yang made on him at last year''s Jiangbei Martial University event, so strong and terrifying, like a War God.


    With that thought, Li Yuan couldn''t help but glance at the Divine Palace panel.


    ----


    [Life Level: 27.7 degrees (Second Order)]


    Fist Strength: 618,000 kilograms


    Speed: 327 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 33.8 degrees


    Willpower: 34 degrees


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 45% (current limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: 23 degrees (training efficiency 10+2.5+1.5+1.5+1)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 93%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 93%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" (First Order 9 degrees: 9 degrees)


    Fifth Layer Star Technique "Stellar Mysterious Body" (Second Order 2 degrees: 7 degrees)


    ...


    "Nine Leaves Purple Spirit, Bone Flame Divine Spring, the effects are indeed extremely good," Li Yuan mused to himself. "In just two months, along with normal Origin Power cultivation, my physical quality soared from 26 degrees to 27.7 degrees."


    This was an exaggerated improvement, and Li Yuan''s Basic Fist Strength had grown significantly.


    With normal physical exertion, his running speed was nearly close to the speed of sound.


    "With the rapid improvement of my physical quality and combined with the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'', my spiritual power has also grown very quickly," Li Yuan felt that his decision to purchase treasures was incredibly correct.


    Boost your physical quality at full speed.


    The stronger the foundation, the more vigorous the life force will become. This was why Li Yuan''s Star Meridian Level had grown rapidly to 23 degrees, even awakening the fifth Star Meridian.


    Like the second Star Meridian, it was approaching the awakening of the Sixth Layers, but it seemed it would take a long time to cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique "Great Earth Divine Body."


    ```

 Chapter 262 The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_2

    The awakening of a single Star Meridian becomes increasingly difficult as one proceeds.And the leap in spiritual power has made Li Yuan''s skill level improve all the more rapidly.


    Especially after creating the third True Intent Killing Move, it allowed him to easily break through the minor bottleneck at 90% of the Fifth Stage.


    It could be said that Li Yuan''s skill level had truly reached the Flying Heaven Level.


    However, even with a talent as great as Li Yuan''s and with the aid of various external factors, after reaching the Fifth Stage Perfection, his cultivation and comprehension speed inevitably slowed down quite a bit.


    "One step at a time," Li Yuan said silently to himself, "Now, there''s no need to deliberately pursue rapid progress in True Intent Comprehension... Let it come naturally, and with the creation of more True Intent Killing Moves, it''s only a matter of time before stepping into the Sixth Stage Skills."


    Li Yuan was quite at ease now, given that his skills had improved at a terrifying pace.


    If one were to only consider skill level among peers, even the principal at 19 might not have been able to keep up with him.


    "I''m about to graduate."


    "And in just over half a month, I''ll set off for the Martial Divine Hall in Feixing," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Unfortunately, per the principal''s order, I can''t return to Jiang City right now... At the end of the month, when Muhua and the others are on vacation, I''ll arrange for someone from the Martial Hall to bring my aunt and uncle over to the school for a few days'' holiday."


    Once he went to the Martial Divine Hall in Feixing, returning to Jiang City would become even more difficult.


    "Just that..."


    "Two months have passed, and Lanyue still hasn''t come out?" a thought flitted through Li Yuan''s mind.


    Even though he had left the Fierce Feather Star Realm, Li Yuan still kept a close watch on the World within Worlds.


    But there had been no news at all.


    "Continue to cultivate Star Techniques," Li Yuan calmed himself and started cultivating the "Stellar Mysterious Body" again.


    With each improvement in physical quality, Li Yuan would try to practice two Star Techniques each time.


    He never reached the requirements for cultivating the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" at the Second Level.


    But a week ago, as his physical quality improved, Li Yuan found he could finally attempt to imprint the Second Level Star Mark of the "Stellar Mysterious Body" on his Star Meridians.


    Now, he had successfully cultivated the "Stellar Mysterious Body" to the Second Level 2.


    "The ''Stellar Mysterious Body'' at Second Level 2, overall level is 7; the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' is at First Order 9 levels, overall level is 9," Li Yuan thought vaguely, "If I calculate it this way, does that mean if I cultivate the ''All Things Divine Body'' to the First Order Limit, its power would be nearly as strong as the ''Stellar Mysterious Body'' at the Second Order Limit?"


    If his guess was true.


    A Nine Layers Star Technique, when cultivated to the Third Rank Limit by a Flying Heaven Warrior, the overall level should be 27.


    And a Demigod using a Sixth Layer Star Technique, when cultivated to the Fourth Rank Limit, the overall level would only be 24?


    "It seems my conjecture is probably true."


    "A Demigod''s Fifth Layer Star Technique, compared with a Flying Heaven''s use of a Supreme Star Technique, the difference in power would naturally be immense," Li Yuan realized, which explained why those Level 37 Flying Heaven Warriors could fight and even slay many Demigods out of their league.


    The foundation is close! The skill level is close!


    If the Star Technique power of a Flying Heaven Warrior is terrifying enough, they can indeed manage to fight beyond their rank.


    "Then, what if I could cultivate the ''All Things Divine Body'' during the Prime Warrior stage?" Li Yuan''s heart grew more expectant.


    He calmed his mind.


    "Take it slowly," Li Yuan continued to painstakingly cultivate the Star Technique "Stellar Mysterious Body," imprinting Star Marks on one Life Star after another.


    ...


    As days went by, Li Yuan continued to practice diligently.


    During this time, he also submitted his graduation application.


    Within just one hour, it was approved ¡ª he was allowed to graduate.


    "Why do I feel like the school can''t wait for me to graduate?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, not placing too much importance on it.


    ...June 8th.


    Like usual, Li Yuan practiced spear technique, but today he was doing so on the lawn outside the villa.


    "The spear must be fierce, swift and as fast as lightning."


    "Unlike the sword, the variability of spear movements should be swifter than those of Sword Technique and Swordsmanship," Li Yuan reflected silently on the Spear Technique.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan noticed his smart ring vibrating; a thought told him who it was: "Senior Liu?"


    He stopped practicing and tapped the light screen.


    Whoosh~ A small projection of the light screen appeared, showing the figure of Liu Jing.


    "Senior Liu," Li Yuan greeted with a smile, "what can I do for you? You''re suddenly getting in touch."


    "Haha."


    "I should arrive at Kunlun Martial University tomorrow," the elder in the light screen said with a laugh, "It''s been decades, and I don''t know too many people anymore, so I thought maybe you were still at school and decided to call and ask."


    "Senior coming to the school¡­" Li Yuan was about to continue when a flash of shock crossed his eyes, "Senior, you''ve returned to Blue Star? What about the Mingxu Star Realm?"


    "Yes, you''re right; the major pathways in the Mingxu Star Realm have just undergone some changes and are continuously expanding," Liu Jing''s voice became serious, "It has been upgraded to the Second Level Star Realm... It now allows beings below Level 27 to pass through, and I estimate that it will soon stabilize completely, allowing all Second Rank beings to pass through."


    "Therefore, I took the opportunity to come back to Xia Country," Liu Jing said with a smile.


    "It really got upgraded?" Li Yuan was shocked.


    Before, he often heard about sudden upgrades to star realms and had similar descriptions in textbooks and general knowledge classes... But this was his first real contact with one.


    "The upgrading of the Mingxu Star Realm to a Second Level Star Realm is within our expectations," Liu Jing said sentimentally, "After all, this star realm is too vast and has given birth to countless lives, as well as many Flying Heaven level beings... In fact, its essence should be much stronger than most Second Level Star Realms."


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

    Indeed.


    Compared to the ''Fierce Feather Star Realm,'' a Second Level Star Realm he had visited, the Mingxu Star Realm was much larger and more fascinating.


    It''s just that he was too weak during his last visit and did not dare to explore deeply or adventurously beyond the frontier bases.

 Chapter 262 The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_3

    "Now that the Star Realm has upgraded, what''s the plan from above?" Li Yuan asked with considerable curiosity."Haha, I''ve heard about some of your accomplishments, Blue Star''s virtual combat champion, you must have very high clearance, so it''s no problem to share some details." Liu Jing said with a smile, "The state is likely preparing to fully develop the Mingxu Star Realm... planning to set it up as a breeding area."


    "A breeding area?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he nodded, "The environment in the Mingxu Star Realm is extremely good. If it''s developed as a breeding zone, it won''t be difficult to sustain a population of several billion in the future."


    According to the intelligence Li Yuan was aware of, the Mingxu Star Realm should be among the most habitable realms that Blue Star has come into contact with.


    Like the Fierce Feather Star Realm, the environment is actually quite harsh, yet it still supports a population of over a hundred million.


    Similarly, the Rob Sea Star Realm also has very adverse living conditions.


    And the only Third Level Star Realm on Blue Star, the ''Wanhan Star Realm'', is even more terrifying. Ordinary Prime Warriors find it difficult to survive there, let alone ordinary people... who would probably die within a day of arrival.


    "In the past, due to the restrictions at the entrance, the alliance couldn''t invest a large amount of resources." Liu Jing said, "Now, though, we essentially have enough."


    "However, carving out a large-scale breeding zone is likely to lead to a conflict with the indigenous life of the Mingxu Star Realm, I suppose." Li Yuan thought of this issue.


    The native life forces in the Mingxu Star Realm are extremely formidable.


    "Yeah." Liu Jing couldn''t help but nod, "Not just the Mingxu Star Realm, such habitable realms with vast territory and numerous mineral resources... the Tianliang Civilization will certainly also go all out to compete with us, and a major war is inevitable."


    "A major war?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    If things go wrong, it could turn into another meat grinder battleground like Rob Sea, it''s hard to say.


    But this is also inevitable.


    Every civilization that wants to advance must seize every opportunity and try to compete for precious resources.


    A step behind is to fall behind at every turn... if the Seven Star Civilization doesn''t work hard to strengthen itself, it could easily be swallowed up by other civilizations.


    ...


    After chatting with Liu Jing for a while longer, they ended the communication.


    Stay updated through empire


    "Mingxu Star Realm." Li Yuan immediately started searching for relevant information on the virtual network using his privileges.


    His clearance level was much higher than Liu Jing''s.


    Before long, Li Yuan finally found something in a ''meeting record'' of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Ming Mountain?"


    "The Flying Heaven Warriors believe that this major change comes from the Ming Mountain within the Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan''s heart stirred, remembering the scenery of the Mingxu Star Realm back in the day.


    That mountain that towered thousands of kilometers high, indeed, was unimaginable.


    And it wasn''t an extraterrestrial star.


    "But it has nothing to do with me," Li Yuan mused silently, "If they wanted to explore the secrets of Ming Mountain, the alliance leadership would either dispatch people to break through to Flying Heaven Warriors within the realm."


    "Or, they would send top geniuses like Lude Nef and Wu Manong."


    "Otherwise, what could be used to fight against the indigenous Flying Heaven life of the Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He could imagine that, in the future, whether the Seven Star Civilization wanted to open up a new breeding zone,


    Or to compete with the Tianliang Civilization,


    The struggle was bound to be very brutal.


    ...


    The matter of the Mingxu Star Realm was only a minor episode for Li Yuan; he wasn''t yet in a position to worry about this affair.


    The next day.


    Liu Jing arrived at Kunlun Martial University, and both Li Yuan and Li Yang went to greet him, and they accompanied Liu Jing on a tour of the school.


    "Li Yuan, you already possess the strength of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?" When Liu Jing learned of this news, he was similarly surprised and astonished.


    He knew of Li Yuan''s exceptional talent, but barely half a year had passed.


    Could he have grown to such an extent already?


    ...


    Liu Jing''s visit to Kunlun Martial University was just to see his alma mater... After seeing him off,


    A few more days passed.


    "Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony," Li Yuan stood on the balcony on the second floor of his villa, overlooking the tranquil campus, feeling somewhat sentimental, "How fast time flies."


    Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Haha, with graduation coming up, I should leave something for the juniors behind." Li Yuan''s mouth curled into a slightly mischievous smile.


    He turned around,


    And headed straight for the rest area, quickly logging into the virtual network, the Kunlun Martial University space.


    "Kunlun Nine Mountains." Li Yuan directly applied to challenge the ''Kunlun Nine Mountains''.


    Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    This was a ''challenge space'' set up within the virtual network by Kunlun Martial University specifically for its students.


    At the start of his studies, during the freshman competition, Li Yuan had represented the Sixth Institute to blaze through the Fourth Mountain, stopping at the Fifth Mountain.


    Since then, Li Yuan hadn''t attempted the challenge again.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash, Li Yuan arrived at the foothills of the first mountain of the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    With just one glance, Li Yuan saw the Kunlun Nine Mountains record in the view next to him:


    Freshman record of Kunlun Nine Mountains (from Seven Stars Year 2009 to present)


    First place: Yan Jing, 8000 points (2030)


    Second place: Jin Huguo, 8000 points (2042)


    Third...


    ...


    "Now that I''m about to graduate, let''s give the juniors behind me a bit of a shock," Li Yuan revealed a smile, "Let them know there''s a Li Yuan among them."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, holding a Long Spear and setting his Physical Quality to level 20, strode towards the first mountain.


    Just half an hour later.


    Li Yuan finished the challenge, looking at the rankings that had been thoroughly refreshed, he felt quite satisfied.


    "If Dantai Feng sees this, he''s bound to be envious and resentful," Li Yuan grinned, "After all, he has no way of refreshing the various school records of Starfire University like I did."


    The records of the two schools were of entirely different difficulty levels.


    Whoosh! S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a thought, Li Yuan left the virtual network.


    ...


    Just one minute after Li Yuan completed the Kunlun Nine Mountains challenge.


    Swoosh!


    A graceful figure appeared at the foot of the first mountain, notably, it was ''Shi Xiao'', a senior sister with whom Li Yuan was quite familiar.

 Chapter 262 The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_4

    "Hmph.""That girl Qiu Jing, her cultivation is progressing incredibly fast," Shi Xiao thought to herself, "She began cultivating a year later than me, and yet her scores on the Kunlun Nine Mountains are almost equal to mine, and she has even made it to the Fifth Mountain."


    Generally, one needs an Intermediate Rank Fourth Level technique to make it to the Fifth Mountain.


    As Shi Xiao was preparing to challenge the mountain herself, she subconsciously glanced to her left, where there usually was a screen. The screen would display various records of the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    The next moment, she was stunned.


    "Hmm?"


    "Am I seeing things?" Shi Xiao couldn''t believe her eyes, her mouth forming an involuntary ''O'' shape.


    "This! This! It can''t be right," Shi Xiao stared at the highest screen.


    Because the record on the screen clearly showed:


    Kunlun Nine Mountains School History Records (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present)


    First Place: Li Yuan, 1,000,000 points, has cleared (Year 2044)


    Second Place: Yan Jing, 780,000 points (Year 2034)


    Third place...


    ...


    "The year 2044 is this year, Li Yuan, could it really be the Li Yuan I know? But he''s clearly just a freshman! How is this possible?" Shi Xiao''s mind was already in turmoil.


    She was fond of Li Yuan and knew that his talent and power were truly terrifying.


    As a freshman, securing first place in the Blue Star virtual combat competition was already an unprecedented historical achievement.


    But to fully clear the Kunlun Nine Mountains was something exceedingly difficult.


    For instance, Yan Jing, before Li Yuan and Jin Huguo, was considered the top prodigy in the past several decades of Kunlun Martial University, and it was only with difficulty that he managed to enter the Ninth Mountain as a fifth-year student.


    There was still a long way to go before completely clearing the Ninth Mountain. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan though?


    He actually cleared the whole Kunlun Nine Mountains as a freshman... What an incredible feat this was.


    Suddenly.


    A thought surfaced in Shi Xiao''s mind: "Perhaps, for the next several decades, or even a century, no one will be able to break the record left by Li Yuan."


    "Only..."


    "With such a high level of skill, Li Yuan is probably going to graduate soon," Shi Xiao''s thought process was somewhat complex for a moment. Discover exclusive content at empire


    ...


    It wasn''t just Shi Xiao who had seen it; many students from Kunlun Martial University would attempt to challenge the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    Therefore, in an exceedingly short amount of time,


    this piece of news spread through Kunlun Martial University like a hurricane.


    "Can''t challenge it anymore."


    "Li Yuan, he''s just a freshman, right?"


    "A freshman, clearing the Kunlun Nine Mountains? How advanced is the skill of our big brother?"


    "This! This! How are we supposed to challenge it now?"


    "An unbreakable record." The entire Kunlun Martial University, with tens of thousands of students, was completely boiling with excitement.


    This new record,


    combined with the miracle Li Yuan had created in the Blue Star virtual combat competition... ensured that he would become a new legend in the history of Kunlun Martial University.


    A legend that far surpassed Yan Jing and Jin Huguo.


    ...


    "He cleared the Kunlun Nine Mountains?" When Jin Huguo received the news, he too was quite shocked, "I have just managed to enter the Eighth Mountain."


    Entering the Eighth Mountain and clearing the Ninth Mountain might seem like there''s not much of a gap.


    But Jin Huguo admitted to himself that even with five more years, he might still not be able to clear the Ninth Mountain.


    The Ninth Mountain was originally established not for students to clear, but as a benchmark!!


    "Now, this benchmark has become my junior brother Li Yuan," Jin Huguo couldn''t help shaking his head, "I''m afraid that with Li Yuan brother''s strength, he will rise rapidly in the Martial Divine Hall, becoming the most dazzling presence there."


    For a moment, Jin Huguo''s expectations for the upcoming trip to the Feixing Martial Divine Hall grew.


    ...


    Time passed slowly.


    Before you knew it, half a month had gone by, and the graduation ceremony quickly came to an end. Li Yuan''s family had come to the school for several days, reunited for a few days, and then he had sent them back to Jiang City.


    Finally.


    June 29th.


    "Li Yuan, assemble, prepare to head to Feixing," Li Yuan received the command from the principal.

 Chapter 263 Gathering of Geniuses! First Arrival at the Martial Divine Hall (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Inside the basement of the villa, where Li Yuan was practicing spear technique, the voice of Fang Hai suddenly echoed in his mind.In an instant, the myriad spear shadows dissipated.


    "It''s finally time to leave," Li Yuan glanced at the battered martial arts room.


    Even though it had been reinforced repeatedly,


    it should have been able to withstand sparring and fighting by top grade origin martial artists by all reason. However, under the day-after-day spear technique practice, it was still severely damaged by Li Yuan.


    Yet thinking of leaving this place, Li Yuan still felt a tinge of reluctance in his heart.


    "This martial arts room is where I spent the most time practicing and stayed the longest," Li Yuan sighed softly, waving his hand to put away the weapon: "Let''s go."


    People must always look forward and move on.


    Whoosh!


    With a movement, Li Yuan drifted out of the villa like a gust of wind.


    It was quietly outside, the early summer morning was not too hot.


    There was no one around... An Nong, Gu Qianghan, and the others were about to enter their second year and were on vacation at home, a few days away from returning to school.


    For regular Martial Arts University students, half a month of holidays each semester, naturally one must cherish it, and very few return to school early.


    Of course, at the recent graduation ceremony, most students from Kunlun Martial University came to the event... many were there to see Li Yuan, like the freshmen from the Sixth Institute.


    A grand farewell ceremony was already held for Li Yuan.


    Such a grand graduation ceremony was also rare in the history of Kunlun Martial University for decades, naturally all because of Li Yuan.


    In his one year at school, from the entrance competition, to ranking first in virtual battle, and finally creating an unsurpassable record in the Kunlun Nine Mountains... He had created too many miracles, so when it was time for his graduation, a large number of students spontaneously came to watch. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But after the feast comes desolation, by the time Li Yuan truly left, there was no one to see him off.


    "Flying vehicle." Li Yuan spotted it right away in the sky.


    A large flying vehicle was hovering about a hundred meters above the ground, clearly the flying saucer-shaped aircraft that had been concealed in the high sky above Kunlun Martial University.


    The cabin door opened, and a figure in a black robe stood suspended in the air, it was Fang Hai.


    The next second, Find more adventures on empire


    Hum~ An invisible force swiftly enveloped Li Yuan and flew him up, straight in front of Fang Hai.


    "President," Li Yuan greeted with great respect.


    "Enter the flying vehicle, we still have to pick up others from different places on Blue Star," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    "You are personally escorting us, President?" Li Yuan asked in surprise.


    "Under normal circumstances, only one Flying Heaven Peak warrior would be dispatched to escort," Fang Hai''s gaze fell on Li Yuan, his face with an inexplicable smile: "But this time is special."


    Li Yuan immediately understood, it was because of him!


    The alliance''s higher-ups were afraid of accidents, naturally, arranging Fang Hai... If not for the fact that travel between the Seven Great Planets was allowed up to third order life in their interlinked Star Realms, they might have directly arranged for a demigod to escort.


    "Thank you, President," Li Yuan said.


    "Head to the main hall," Fang Hai directed.


    "Yes."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped onto the hatchway, darted into the interior of the flying vehicle, and proceeded to the main hall, only then he found that the interior was quite spacious, and the main hall looked like a meeting room.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also saw a familiar face.


    "Senior Brother Jin," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Li Yuan, you''re here, I just arrived a bit earlier than you," Jin Huguo also said with a smile: "Come, sit down over here."


    Li Yuan sat beside Jin Huguo.


    Hum~


    The distant cabin door closed, followed by a slight tremble of the entire flying vehicle, indicating it had already started.


    "How prepared are you?" Jin Huguo asked with a smile: "Once we get to Martial Divine Hall, every new student needs to prepare for ''The Battle of Seven Stars,'' and you have a great chance."


    "The Battle of Seven Stars?" Li Yuan''s mind instantly recalled the relevant information.


    Martial Divine Hall, with its numerous members, selects many formidable talents from the Seven Great Planets every year.


    Even if the selection is small each year, year after year, the cumulative number of geniuses in the Martial Divine Hall reaches a considerable level... It''s natural that not all geniuses receive uniform training efforts.


    How to differentiate? Based on strength!


    The stronger the strength, the more resources one gets, and this so-called strength is assessed by performance... hence every new cohort, upon their first arrival at the Martial Divine Hall,


    Must participate in The Battle of Seven Stars.


    "Like me, no need to compete, definitely at the bottom," Jin Huguo said with a smile: "But I heard from my teacher about some of your deeds in the Fierce Feather Star Realm."


    "That was a few months ago, with your talent, your growth speed is astonishing,"


    "Your strength now... definitely far surpasses me, maybe even close to Bores," Jin Huguo continued: "Perhaps you can break through the fifth round."


    "The fifth round?" Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly: "Who is Bores?"


    "You don''t know?" Jin Huguo was startled, then laughed: "This year, we from Blue Star have selected 12 martial arts geniuses to go to the Martial Divine Hall."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod, selecting 12? The number was already very substantial.


    "Seven among them are from virtual battle," Jin Huguo said with a laugh, evidently already well-informed.


    "Seven?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised: "Wasn''t it six?"


    "It''s seven,"


    "You, Nevsky, Yin Man are the top three in virtual battle, directly chosen. Aliciada, me, Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang were specially selected, considered the most to be selected from virtual battle in recent years," Jin Huguo said with a smile.


    "Tian Dazhuang?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up: "He got selected too?"


    "Yes, it seems it was confirmed just a few days ago," Jin Huguo said with a smile: "He seems to have advanced to the fifth stage standard just before the final list was confirmed."


    "Tsk tsk,"


    "Reaching the fifth stage in just the first year, he seems much weaker compared to Dantai Feng, but in terms of improvement speed, this past year, he''s been even more formidable than Dantai Feng," Jin Huguo remarked.

 Chapter 264 Duanmu Mountain Master! Martial God Inheritance (Extra 3 & 4)

    ```Rumble~ Accompanied by a slight tremble in the flying vehicle, the cabin door immediately opens.


    "We''ve arrived, come on down." Fang Hai''s voice rang in the minds of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With Li Yuan taking the lead, the twelve geniuses streamed out like fish swimming through water, landing on the ground with a leap.


    "It''s huge!"


    "The legendary Seven Star Mountain, it truly is a levitating divine mountain."


    "And there''s Martial Divine Hall, one of the highest divine halls of our Seven Star Civilization." Everyone could not help but exclaim in awe.


    Before their arrival, most of them had inquired about the Martial Divine Hall and Seven Star Mountain, but due to access limitations, they could only find some simple descriptions.


    Not even images could be found on the virtual network, the secrecy level was extremely high.


    Very mysterious.


    Now, they finally saw the true Martial Divine Hall.


    "This?" Li Yuan was also quite shocked as he looked at everything within his view.


    In the sky, there was a fiery red sun, its light illuminating the land, but when it fell on the people, it felt warm and comfortable.


    Very comfortable.


    Where they stood was a vast plain, incredibly spacious, with many large flying vehicles coming and going... allowing them to clearly see a mountain range suspended a thousand meters in the air not far away.


    A mountain range with exactly seven peaks hovered between heaven and earth, its surface layer shrouded in a hazy glow, radiating endless might, making it unique in the whole world.


    With the naked eye, Li Yuan and the others could see that this mountain range seemed enveloped in mist, with many palaces and floating flying vehicles faintly visible.


    "Seven Star Mountain." Li Yuan held his breath.


    "Right!"


    "Li Yuan, my father and I have mentioned that Seven Star Mountain is the residence of the top geniuses of our Seven Star Civilization, protected by the highest security level." Dantai Feng''s eyes shone: "Only by being able to reside on Seven Star Mountain can one truly be called a top genius of the civilization."


    Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Harmon, Yin Man, and the others listened earnestly.


    Among this group, no one could rival Dantai Feng in terms of background and world experience, except for Li Yuan.


    After all, he comes from a Demigod family. Stay tuned with empire


    "Reside on Seven Star Mountain?" Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As far as he knew, people like Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe were members of Seven Star Mountain.


    "Martial Divine Hall." Dantai Feng then pointed to the distant, standing on the vast land below Seven Star Mountain, a towering ancient and massive palace that radiated a profound aura.


    Even though it was more than ten kilometers away, the strong aura contained within the ancient palace still made Li Yuan, Dantai Feng, and the others hold it in solemn regard.


    Only by seeing with their own eyes.


    Could they truly sense the vast mystery of Seven Star Mountain, Martial Divine Hall... like that colossal floating mountain range, had already surpassed Li Yuan and the others'' understanding of ''technology.''


    Subconsciously, they felt that such a sight probably couldn''t be achieved through technological means.


    "Tsk tsk, it''s said that Martial Divine Hall contains great secrets." Dantai Feng said solemnly to the others: "The so-called First Rank inheritance, Second Class inheritance, and Third Class inheritance, the differences all lie in this Martial Divine Hall."


    "Alright."


    Li Yuan patted his shoulder, pointed at a distant spot, and said with a smile, "It''s time to gather."


    "Cough cough, Li Yuan, it''s not easy for me to show off, can I finish?" Dantai Feng''s eyes flashed with a trace of melancholy: "After all, in the upcoming Battle of Seven Stars in half a month, I don''t even have the qualifications to participate, I can only watch you guys show off."


    "How old are you? Next year or the year after, once your Physical Quality improves, just participate again." Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was quite clear.


    For the entire Seven Star Civilization, it''s not difficult to elevate a person''s Physical Quality to level 29, it''s just a matter of time... The difficult part is the skill level, the Star Meridian.


    Therefore, although Tian Dazhuang''s Physical Quality was only level 14.


    But because he achieved the Fifth Stage Skill in his first year, coupled with his astonishing pace of skill progress over the past year, he was specially recruited.


    In at most four years, within the Martial Divine Star Realm, Tian Dazhuang''s Physical Quality would soar to the Top Grade Origin Martial Artist level.


    This was a point mentioned in many documents.


    "Let''s go." Li Yuan said with a smile, and the crowd followed him toward the gathering point under the giant sign in the distance.


    Dozens of talented people had already converged there, their physical features slightly different, obviously coming from different planets within the Seven Star Civilization.


    "It seems there''s not a single member of the Alien Race." Li Yuan''s Divine Palace Inquiry swept over.


    There wasn''t a single alert of ''kill to obtain Spiritual Nature.''


    Going anywhere and seeing any stranger, making a Divine Palace Inquiry had become Li Yuan''s habit.


    "But most of them are Martial Artists, and even a few are Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, it''s just that I don''t know about the skill levels." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The nearly one hundred gathered talents from various major planets were clearly of varying ages, and naturally, their true strengths differed.


    However, in the eyes of the alliance''s higher-ups, anyone below 30 made no difference, all considered ''young people.''


    "More people are coming."


    "12 people, that''s a lot."


    "Only fewer than Feixing and Tianhai Star, probably from Blue Star."


    "Definitely from Blue Star; haven''t you seen the one in the lead? That''s Li Yuan, he''s actually quite handsome, better-looking than he is in video images."


    "Li Yuan?"


    "That''s Li Yuan? Doesn''t look too special; before I came here, my teacher kept saying he was most likely going to become the numero uno of our Martial Divine Hall''s generation." The talented individuals from planets like Yinghuo Star, Feixing, and Tianhai Star all watched as Li Yuan and his team approached, discussing among themselves.


    Clearly, Li Yuan was the most well-known.


    "Tsk, Li Yuan, you really are famous." Dantai Feng whispered, his eyes full of envy: "You''ve taken all the glory."


    ```

 Chapter 264 Duanmu Mountain Master! Martial God Inheritance (Extra 3 & 4)_2

    ```"Dantai, if you can make it through the seventh level of The Battle of Seven Stars, you will become famous too," Tian Dazhuang teased.


    "Get lost, you''re mocking me for not being qualified to participate, aren''t you?" Dantai Feng glared.


    The two of them were good friends and used to teasing each other.


    "Li Yuan''s fame is indeed much greater than ours," Jin Huguo said with a smile.


    "That''s normal; he is simply not on the same level as us," Nevsky said calmly, the towering young man from Ross Country.


    Among this group, the one who was really annoyed was Bores. He originally thought that he would be the strongest member of the team, and if not adored, at least he should be taken seriously... however, he found that no one paid him any attention at all.


    Everyone''s gaze was focused on Li Yuan.


    Alicia''s gaze towards Li Yuan was unabashed.


    "Wait and see."


    "In the end, it''s all about strength," Bores thought to himself. "With my strength, I have every hope of making it through Sixth Mountain... A long time in practice is my advantage."


    "Next, I''ll spend another twenty years in the Martial Divine Hall to solidify my foundation."


    "In the future, I totally have the hope of becoming a Flying Heaven Peak warrior."


    Being selected at the age of 28, Bores was still quite exceptional in terms of strength and talent.


    "Ladies and gentlemen."


    Several Prime Warriors responsible for guiding were quite polite, "Please wait here patiently. Once the talents from the Seven Great Planets gather, the Mountain Lord of Seven Star Mountain will come over."


    Everyone from Blue Star stood here, waiting patiently.


    "Captain!"


    "Li Yuan, captain, Alicia." Suddenly, three people emerged from the crowd, greeting Li Yuan excitedly.


    "Si Feng, Kross, Xiong Ze." Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile; they were comrades from World within Worlds.


    They hadn''t seen each other for several months, and each of them had improved to a certain degree in Life Level.


    "Captain, we finally see you again," Si Feng, Kross, and Xiong Ze were all very excited.


    It''s human nature to instinctively band together with others from the same region in unfamiliar environments.


    But, quite obviously,


    In the eyes of Si Feng and the others, compared to other Martial Path talents from the same planet, Li Yuan was more worthy of their trust and respect.


    This scene also caused nearly a hundred of the other planet''s talents to mutter to themselves.


    As the top talents of their respective planets, most were proud.


    Being so publicly subservient as ''subordinates'' was rare and enough to attest to the terrifying aspect of Li Yuan.


    In a very short time, the talents from the Seven Stars had all thoroughly committed Li Yuan to memory.


    ...


    The Seven Star Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.


    After bringing Li Yuan and the others here, Fang Hai thought and twisted the surrounding light, quietly arriving at Seven Star Mountain... His eyes were casual, familiar with everything around him.


    Decades ago, he had also practiced here for many years.


    There were many halls on Seven Star Mountain, with flying saucer-shaped vessels parked in front of many halls... These halls were the residences of the members of Seven Star Mountain.


    Only the hall at the highest point was off-limits to Mountain members... It was the abode of the Mountain Lord.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai leisurely arrived in front of the vast hall. At this moment, six figures were already gathered on the small plaza.


    "Fang Hai Star Master."


    "Blue Star''s escort this time is actually Star Master Fang." The six figures, each with a strong and vigorous presence, were all formidable Flying Heaven warriors.


    Standing there casually, they seemed to blend into the world, clearly with a high level of skill and understanding.


    But they were all quite respectful in front of Fang Hai.


    "Where''s Duanmu?" Fang Hai asked directly.


    "Mountain Lord Duanmu hasn''t come out yet," a white-clad Flying Heaven Warrior replied respectfully, "We are still waiting for him."


    "Stop putting on airs," Fang Hai shook his head and then said in a deep voice, "Duanmu!"


    "Duanmu! Duanmu! Duanmu!" His voice contained astonishing Penetrative Power, echoing within hundreds of meters of the void and subtly penetrating the distant palaces.


    But it did not spread any further.


    This terrifying control shocked the six powerful Flying Heaven warriors standing beside him.


    No wonder he was ranked among the top three super-existences among the many Flying Heaven Star Lords.


    A few seconds later.


    "Boom~" The sealed hall doors opened suddenly, and a white-clad figure flashed out. He appeared to be in his thirties, his white clothes quite dashing.


    He arrived in front of Fang Hai, and the white-clad young man said with a hint of helplessness, "Old Fang, can you be a bit quieter? You woke me up."


    "You certainly have a leisurely time as a Mountain Lord, letting us all accompany you in sleeping?" Fang Hai said with a smirk.


    The two chatted quite casually, but the six surrounding Flying Heaven Warriors became even more respectful.


    Clearly, the white-clad young man and Fang Hai were on the same level of stature.


    "Alright."


    "Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. I have confirmed receipt through the virtual network, you may go back," the white-clad young man said sternly, his gaze sweeping across the six individuals.


    "Thank you, Duanmu Star Master," the six Flying Heaven warriors turned into streaks of light and quickly retreated.


    In a very short time,


    Only Fang Hai and the white-clad young man were left.


    "Old Fang, why did you personally come for this escort mission? Are you that idle?" the white-clad young man smiled again. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I am here by the command of the Alliance Hierarch," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    "The Alliance Hierarch?" The white-clad young man was surprised and faintly realized, "Li Yuan?"


    He, Duanmu Hong.


    As one of the few Flying Heaven Star Masters of the Alliance and serving as the Star Mountain Master, in charge of overseeing the cultivation of talents in the Martial Divine Hall... Naturally, he was aware of all the information about the newly arrived talents.


    And among the hundreds of talents who had arrived this year, the most dazzling and special was Li Yuan.


    "Yes," Fang Hai nodded slightly. "There are some things that are classified, and I can''t talk to you about them... You just need to know he is very important, and you must protect him well."


    "Classified?" Duanmu Hong was shocked inside.


    ```

 Chapter 264 Duanmu Mountain Master! Martial God Inheritance (Extra 3 & 4)_3

    Given his high status within the alliance, which borders on that of a demigod, and the kind he is¡ªextremely trusted... it''s all still a secret, you can imagine how important it is.He realized that this Li Yuan must be quite special and have big secrets.


    "Divine Child Level genius?" Duanmu Hong couldn''t help but say.


    In many civilizations, any Divine Child Level genius is destined to become a demigod.


    The Seven Star Civilization has very few geniuses of the Divine Child Level.


    "Don''t ask too much, nor should you pry into his secrets. This is the master''s command. In the future, you will naturally understand," said Fang Hai with a smile. "I''m just reminding you to protect him well."


    "Some things will naturally be handled by others," Fang Hai continued. "But also, don''t be too deliberate in taking care of Li Yuan; it''s not good for his growth."


    "Understood." Duanmu Hong became serious, now clear about Fang Hai''s intentions.


    "Alright, I''ll be going now. I''ll catch up with you again on my next visit to Blue Star," Fang Hai said and drifted away.


    Fang Hai was now quite relaxed. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Because the hottest potato had finally been tossed out, he no longer needed to shoulder the responsibility.


    ...


    "Big trouble, even the Alliance Hierarch is treating it so seriously." Duanmu Hong muttered to himself, "But the Martial Divine Star Realm is just an ultra-small Third-Level Star Realm... Demigods can''t kill their way in, and the likelihood of assassination by Alien Races is extremely small."


    The entire Martial Divine Hall and the Seven Star Mountain are built within a completely closed small Third-Level Star Realm.


    Ensuring Alien Demigods cannot assassinate anyone.


    The only main entrance is guarded by a demigod, and there are numerous defense measures within the Star Realm; even demigods would feel a chill at the prospect.


    Additionally, there are 36 levels of Flying Heaven Warriors stationed in the realm, making it as secure as a fortress of metal.


    Everything is to ensure that the younger generation of the entire civilization can grow up safely.


    "As long as he can be safely protected and grow up, that will be a meritorious deed," Duanmu Hong showed a smile: "If he truly grows into a demigod in the future and sees me, he''ll have to regard me as half his master."


    As the Star Mountain Master of the Seven Star Mountain, as long as one could serve for decades, the potential network of connections in the future would be quite formidable.


    ...


    Li Yuan, Si Feng, Alicia, and over a hundred other geniuses from various planets have been patiently waiting.


    Occasionally.


    They would see flying vessels launching from the super-large villas on the ground, shuttling through the clouds... The vessels carried members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Suddenly.


    A terrifying aura swept over from the clouds, making even Li Yuan''s heart tremble, not to mention the others.


    The weakest in strength, such as Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, turned pale in an instant.


    Then, everyone saw clearly that a young man in white had appeared in the sky in front of them at some unknown time.


    He stood on the void, his gaze sharp, and his invisible aura alone oppressed everyone present.


    Flying Heaven Warrior!


    And definitely a very terrifying Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "Mountain Lord," more than ten Prime Warriors on duty respectfully saluted.


    Mountain Lord?


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and the rest instantly understood the man''s identity¡ªthe overseer of the entire Martial Divine Star Realm.


    And also their direct superior for the coming years of cultivation.


    "First of all, welcome to Martial Divine Mountain. I am the current Star Mountain Master of the Seven Star Mountain, Duanmu Hong." Duanmu Hong''s voice was ethereal yet clearly heard by everyone, "You may address me as Mountain Lord, Duanmu Mountain Master."


    "For the next ten, twenty years, or even longer, you will all be members of the Martial Divine Hall."


    "So, listen carefully to what I''m about to say," Duanmu Hong looked over each person.


    All was quiet.


    "First, training in the Martial Divine Hall is divided into two parts, Martial God Inheritance and Points rewards," Duanmu Hong said, "Martial God Inheritance is determined by your level of inheritance. In your batch, for now, only Li Yuan, Chu Chen, and Bertman are Second Class Inheritors."


    "The rest of you are Third Class Inheritors."


    SCH! SCH! SCH! The others couldn''t help but turn their gaze towards the three, most looking at Li Yuan.


    People like Chu Chen and Bertman, many did not even know who they were, but Li Yuan was recognizable to anyone.


    "Seven Star Mountain members can also be Third Class Inheritors."


    "But the weakest amongst them might also be Second Class Inheritors."


    "As for the specific differences, enter the virtual network ''Seven Star Mountain Space'' to find out for yourselves," Duanmu Hong said indifferently. "As for Points rewards, that is, Seven Stars Points, it''s determined by real strength."


    "All Martial Divine Hall members are divided into three ranks based on strength: Seven Star Mountain members, elite members, and ordinary members."


    "Those who overcome the seven major checkpoints will become Seven Star Mountain members, receiving an annual reward of 400 Seven Stars Points afterwards."


    "Those who overcome five checkpoints will be elite members, receiving an annual reward of 200 Seven Stars Points."


    "The rest are ordinary members, with an annual reward of 100 Seven Stars Points."


    "Of course, the above are just the basic rewards. The alliance will also issue many war missions. If you participate in battles and earn merits, you can obtain Points rewards as well." Duanmu Hong spoke softly: "For example, among you, Li Yuan, Alicia, Si Feng and others have recently made great contributions in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, and have all received quite a few Seven Stars Points."


    People looked again towards Li Yuan, Alicia and the others.


    "Specific cultivation guidance on Seven Star Mountain will be detailed on the virtual network."


    "In half a month''s time, you will face your first Battle of Seven Stars, which will also decide the amount of Seven Stars Points rewards for the next year," Duanmu Hong stated calmly: "Prepare well."


    "Lastly."


    "I hope you understand, for the Flying Heaven Warriors in the civilization, earning even a single Seven Stars Point involves staking their lives, while you are all given a generous amount. This is because the entire civilization has high hopes for you," Duanmu Hong said softly: "With your talents, becoming Flying Heaven Warriors is not difficult... But the civilization''s expectation for you is to become peak Flying Heaven powerhouses, and even demigods."

 Chapter 264 Duanmu Mountain Master! Martial God Inheritance (Extra 3 & 4)_4

    ```"Even... divine beings."


    "Foreign Civilizations are constantly spying on us, and the war between civilizations has never ceased, only by giving birth to divine beings can our Seven Star Civilization truly be stable."


    ...


    After a brief explanation, Duanmu Hong left.


    Soon after, more than ten Prime Warrior supervisors led many First Rank Martial Artists, taking Li Yuan and the others to villas and mansions that had been prepared in advance.


    There were thousands of members in the Martial Divine Hall, but only a few could reside in Seven Star Mountain.


    Elite members and ordinary members all lived in villas on the surface.


    All the villas were constructed around the majestic Martial Divine Hall. If viewed from the sky, the dense cluster of buildings and streets resembled a giant Bagua Diagram.


    "Everyone''s just arrived at the Martial Divine Hall, so get familiar with the place first," Li Yuan said with a smile, "Once everyone''s settled down, we''ll have time to gather."


    "Okay." S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The Battle of Seven Stars is in half a month. Even if we can''t get through the five stages, we should at least pass the First Layer and not embarrass ourselves too much," Jin Huguo, Si Feng, and others all laughed.


    Everyone dispersed.


    ...


    "Look, the entire villa isn''t very large on the surface; it''s just for daily rest," said the accompanying Prime Warrior, personally introducing it to Li Yuan. "But outside the surface villa, there''s a martial arts field with a radius of five hundred meters."


    "Beneath the villa, there''s an underground Martial Arts Room measuring six hundred meters in length and width, with a height of over fifty meters," the Prime Warrior explained.


    "Such a large underground Martial Arts Room?" Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    That''s huge.


    "It''s not considered large," the Prime Warrior supervisor laughed. "It was specifically built by Flying Heaven Warriors. After all, talents like you, when researching True Intent Techniques or sparring with other strong opponents, have terrifying power."


    "If the Martial Arts Room isn''t large enough or sturdy enough, it would be quickly destroyed."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    Indeed, back at Kunlun Martial University, when he and Li Yang sparred in the Martial Arts Room, they dared not unleash Star Techniques and Origin Power... If unleashed, the Martial Arts Room would likely collapse.


    "Also, your food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation will all be assisted by high-end intelligent robots," the Prime Warrior said with a smile. "Under normal circumstances, we assistant warriors won''t enter your mansion."


    "Oh?" Li Yuan was taken aback. "Why is that?"


    "To prevent assassination."


    "You never know who might have been secretly influenced," the Prime Warrior said with a laugh. "Therefore, many tasks are handled by robots. When inviting companions over to your mansion in the future, you should also be cautious... Like your entire villa, it''s protected by a high-level Defense system. If it detects an enemy invasion, the intelligent system will instantly activate the defense mechanism, making it impossible for even ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors to break through in a short time."


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization really went to great lengths to protect this group of elite talents within the civilization.


    ...


    After becoming acquainted with many aspects of the Martial Divine Hall, Li Yuan entered his villa.


    He glanced at the villa number¡ª2044001.


    "2044, number 1?" Li Yuan smiled, quickly binding his various biometric indicators and spiritual imprint to the villa''s intelligent defense system.


    "Xiao Yu."


    "Activate closed-door training mode," Li Yuan said loudly, straight into the villa.


    "Yes, Master."


    In the vast and spacious living room.


    "Martial God Inheritance." There was a glint of anticipation in Li Yuan''s eyes. "Whether or not I become a member of Seven Star Mountain doesn''t make much difference to me, as I am not lacking Seven Stars Points in the short term."


    "But what exactly is this Martial God Inheritance?"


    "Could it really be a Divine Legacy?" Li Yuan logged into the virtual network and entered the Martial Divine Hall space.


    He began browsing the ''Martial Divine Hall Member Handbook.''


    ```

 Chapter 265 Mark of the God (Extra 5! Votes for the month!!)

    Duanmu Mountain Master was very brief, only giving the many new members of the Martial Divine Hall a concept.The actual cultivation details of the Martial Divine Hall were all in the manual.


    "So, each member of the Martial Divine Hall can only cultivate here until they are 50 years old?" Li Yuan thought: "Must they leave the Martial Divine Hall if they have not broken through to the Flying Heaven Level by the age of 50?"


    If any of the following conditions are met, they must leave the Martial Divine Hall.


    First, break through to become a Flying Heaven Level.


    Second, exceed the age of 50.


    It was also regulated to prevent certain members of Seven Star Mountain from deliberately staying at the Origin Martial Artist stage to receive Seven Stars Points.


    Each member of the Martial Divine Hall can receive up to 6000 Seven Stars Points for free in their lifetime.


    More Seven Stars Points? No more!


    After all, the resources of the entire Seven Star Civilization are limited; it is impossible to pour unlimited resources into one genius.


    Want more? Then rely on your own efforts to complete various war missions, or venture into the Star Realm to obtain them.


    "No wonder the higher-ups don''t care about the age of the Martial Divine Hall members, but let everyone compete together." Li Yuan thought: "For the younger ones, like Tian Dazhuang, a few more years of tempering, and with improved Physical Quality, they can still grow."


    "For the older ones, like Bores, who came in at an older age, will leave sooner."


    "In any case, one can only receive up to 6000 Seven Stars Points in their lifetime." Li Yuan thought.


    Perhaps, in the eyes of the higher-ups, a Flying Heaven Martial Artist has a lifespan of 500 years, and a Demigod has an even longer lifespan of 1000 years.


    What''s the difference between a year earlier or later?


    The so-called prime age for cultivation is more for First Rank Martial Artists and ordinary Origin Martial Artists, because their chances of reaching the Flying Heaven Warrior are very slim, so naturally they have to cultivate with all their might while young.


    Secondly, the reward limit of 6000 points is not small either, enough to buy a Semi Divine Artifact in the Seven Stars Treasure Vault.


    The reward targets, after all, are just the Origin Martial Artist youngsters.


    "Looking at it this way, the Visualization Method bestowed to me by the dean is indeed incredibly valuable, directly rewarding me with 30,000 points, and according to the dean, it''s only equivalent to a down payment? The true value is far beyond that?" Li Yuan murmured: "The Seven Stars Points rewards from the Martial Divine Hall indeed don''t mean much to me."


    Even as a member of Seven Star Mountain, one could only get 400 Seven Stars Points per year.


    How about Li Yuan? He still has more than 30,000 points now.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan thought of how he had recently spent a few thousand Seven Stars Points to purchase two Fourth Rank treasures, shaking his head: "Aside from me, probably very few Origin Martial Artists would do such a thing."


    Using Fourth Rank treasures to enhance Physical Quality and the liveliness of one''s body and bones? That''s too extravagant.


    Even the geniuses of the Martial Divine Hall mostly purchase Third Rank treasures that enhance Physical Quality, combined with Cultivation Methods, striving to reach the level of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist within a few years.


    They wouldn''t be so extravagant as Li Yuan.


    It can''t be helped, Li Yuan has a lot of Seven Stars Points.


    "Seven Stars Points are distributed annually according to strength." Li Yuan read through the manual, thinking: "But the levels of Martial God Inheritance are promoted based on a comprehensive assessment of potential."


    Third Class, Second Class, First Rank, Special Rank, there are no very clear promotion rules.


    The manual only states that it will take into account many aspects, such as the current demonstrated strength, age, Star Meridian talent, and skill level of each member of the Martial Divine Hall.


    "And Dean Hai has said."


    "A normal First Rank Martial God Inheritor must achieve the feat of killing an Alien Race of Flying Heaven Level across ranks to be promoted." Li Yuan silently recited: "I have already revealed astonishing Star Meridian talent... If during The Battle of Seven Stars, I can demonstrate overwhelming strength again."


    "Perhaps, I could be promoted to a First Rank Martial God Inheritor ahead of time." Li Yuan thought.


    The stronger the demonstrated strength, the more attention one naturally receives, and the more benefits one gets.


    The manual''s content about Martial God Inheritors also made some clarifications about the benefits for Third Class, Second Class, and First Rank:


    Third Class Martial God Inheritors can accept ''Martial God Inheritance'' once every five years.


    Second Class, once every two years.


    First Rank, once a year.


    As for Special Rank? There is no clear explanation of what the benefits are, only that they will be far greater than those of a First Rank Martial God Inheritor.


    Moreover, the manual does not clearly state what ''Martial God Inheritance'' actually is.


    "When I enter the Martial Divine Hall, and receive the inheritance, I will naturally understand." Li Yuan thought.


    Suddenly.


    Drip~ The intelligent bracelet vibrated, and Li Yuan immediately looked down and clicked to agree.


    Whirr~ A light screen projection condensed, and the projection showed a figure.


    "Big Brother Yu." Li Yuan showed a smile.


    The one who made the V-call was none other than Yu Jinghe.


    "Li Yuan, I know you arrived at the Martial Divine Star Realm today." Yu Jinghe smiled: "Tavares even asked me if we should go welcome you, but I rejected him."


    "I figured you must be under enough pressure already, so I didn''t want to add to your troubles." Yu Jinghe smiled: "After half a month, when your Battle of Seven Stars is over, Wu Manong, Tavares, and I will come to your residence to gather."


    "Alright." Li Yuan readily agreed, as all of these individuals were members of Seven Star Mountain.


    They are all top geniuses of human civilization; making friends with them is a good thing.


    "Big Brother Yu, are all of you currently in the Martial Divine Star Realm?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "A few of us are in concealed cultivation on Seven Star Mountain, but An Yongya is not here; he has gone to the Mingxu Star Realm on Blue Star." Yu Jinghe said: "A terrible war has broken out there... Maybe in a while, we will have to go support."


    "Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan''s heart stirred.


    It wasn''t long before Liu Jing sent him a message, and now a war had already erupted? Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, Li Yuan didn''t ask Yu Jinghe further.


    "I contacted you to remind you of two things." Yu Jinghe said: "First, give it your all in the Battle of Seven Stars, at least strive to break through the fifth barrier."


    "Becoming an elite member isn''t just about getting more Seven Stars Points every year, there are many invisible benefits that also increase significantly," Yu Jinghe said. "Perhaps it''s not much to you, but a mosquito''s meat is still meat."


    "Understood," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "The second matter is about the Martial God Inheritance," Yu Jinghe said with a smile. "You haven''t received it before, and the first contact has the best effect... I suggest you take it as soon as possible."


    "Okay, thank you for the reminder, Big Brother Yu."


    ...


    Before long, Li Yuan ended the communication with Yu Jinghe.


    "Big Brother Yu is quite concerned about me, even going out of his way to contact me," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Well, Big Brother Yu has spent over a decade in the Martial Divine Star Realm; he has much more experience than I do. I''ll follow his advice."


    "Apply for the Martial God Inheritance tomorrow."


    Just as Li Yuan tapped on the light screen and was about to apply, he realized... he needed to queue.


    "The earliest I can apply is in three days?" Li Yuan shook his head in resignation and clicked to agree.


    Three days it is. I can wait.


    "There''s still half a month left."


    "Let''s make an effort to cultivate the ''Stellar Mysterious Body'' to the limit of the Second Order Level 5," Li Yuan said with a grin.


    Explore new worlds at empire


    ...


    The underground Martial Arts Room was immensely vast, like daylight, and this super-large underground space left Li Yuan quite impressed.


    "It''s enough for top-grade Prime Warriors to fight at full strength," Li Yuan marveled to himself.


    Though a top-grade Prime Warrior could traverse two to three hundred meters in a flash.


    But merely for actual combat training, or for sparring among Martial Artists, such vast space isn''t necessary.


    Just as an ordinary person can reach a speed of 10 meters per second at full power, when two people are sparring, the arena is usually just ten meters in length.


    Sitting cross-legged on the cool ground.


    "Star Marks!" With a thought from Li Yuan, surging Origin Power circulated as he continued trying to imprint more Star Marks on the numerous Life Stars of his second Star Meridian.


    Second Order Star Marks are much more complex than First Order, naturally making them more difficult to imprint.


    In this past half-month, Li Yuan had been diligently cultivating the ''Stellar Mysterious Body,'' but he had only managed to reach the Fourth Level of the Second Order; he was still far from the final limit of the Second Order Level 5.


    This rate of cultivation, if it were to be known, could surely cause a sensation.


    After all, many Second Order Prime Warriors take years to barely step into the Second Order level while cultivating a Third Layer or Fourth Layer Star Technique, let alone reach the Second Order Limit.


    ...


    Time passed by.


    As Li Yuan was still cultivating Star Techniques, preparing wholeheartedly for the upcoming Battle of Seven Stars.


    On the second day after their arrival in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    "Martial God Inheritance."


    "What great secret does it contain? There are no explanations even in the manual," Alicia had already reached the entrance to the Martial Divine Hall.


    After greeting the two guards and inquiring about some precautions regarding the Martial Divine Hall,


    Alicia then entered the majestic hall.


    She was the first among hundreds of new members of this batch to apply for the Martial God Inheritance.


    Alicia always wanted to know what the Martial God Inheritance truly was.


    Boom¡ª The great hall''s doors shut closed.


    ...Half an hour later.


    Boom¡ª The grand hall doors opened, and Alicia flew out with a shocked and satisfied expression on her face.


    "Incredible," Alicia thought back to her recent experience, feeling astonished. "Such a short time, yet it gave me a glimpse of the path ahead?"


    "So precious, and they let me come into contact with it directly?"


    The Martial God Inheritance completely exceeded her understanding.


    "Alicia, that''s insane! Absolutely insane!" a childish voice resonated in her mind, quite agitated, "Those are divine Marks, containing the cultivation insights of a divine soul, to think it has appeared in the world like this... With so many divine Marks, I now really doubt that someone named Dongfang Ji hasn''t stumbled upon a burial ground of numerous divine souls."


    "Otherwise, how could he, a mere Demigod, even an unbeatable one, get hold of so many divine Marks? I don''t believe it," the childish voice said excitedly.


    "You must strive to enter again, and naturally, your gains will be even greater next time," urged the childish voice, quite eager.


    "Don''t rush."


    "I only have a Third Class Martial God Inheritance opportunity, once every five years," Alicia responded. "For now, I''ll head back, fully digest the insights from these divine Marks, and strive to improve my strength as soon as possible, aiming to upgrade to a Second Class Inheritors of the Martial Divine Hall."


    "Okay."


    ...


    Feixing, hundreds of kilometers from the entry and exit point of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    A mysterious location.


    In the vast expanse of Dark Space, a vague figure sat cross-legged, motionless, as if eternal.


    Suddenly.


    "Master," a deep voice spoke up. "An unexpected situation arose at the Martial Divine Hall."


    "Tell me," the vague figure''s eyes slowly opened, revealing depths profound and vast.


    "I''ve detected a divine soul''s thoughts attaching to a member of the Martial Divine Hall; just now, it attempted to infiltrate all parts of the temple, seeking to uncover the secrets of the divine hall," the deep voice reported.

 Chapter 266 Am I First Rank? Yan Jings Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    In a mysterious place."A god-level remnant soul''s thought?" the blurred figure whispered, "What''s the name of that member of the Martial Divine Hall?"


    "Alicia," the deep voice answered, "from Blue Star."


    "Can you sense what race the god-level remnant soul belongs to?" the blurred figure slowly said, "Is it from beyond this domain, or from within? In what form has it survived?"


    "It should be from beyond this domain; it lacks the aura of its original essence," the deep voice said, "I can''t sense anything else clearly, as it''s extremely careful, always lurking deep within Alicia''s spiritual world, only revealing a hint of secret technique in response to Alicia''s spiritual fluctuations... If the Martial Divine Hall were just an ordinary divine artifact, it would definitely not detect it."


    "Then let''s not worry about it for now."


    "Add Alicia to the observation list, and if that remnant soul shows any inclination to possess her, eliminate her immediately," the blurred figure ordered, "Additionally, secretly initiate a mental communication with Alicia to observe her reactions, to see if the remnant soul''s intention is reincarnation, possession, or restoration of its physical body."


    "Yes, Master." Your next read is at empire


    "How is the secret observation of Li Yuan going?" the blurred figure queried, its voice ethereal.


    "His past deeds are confirmed," the deep voice said, "Since he moved into the villa, I have been subtly sensing through the defensive Origin Power Array... I''ve confirmed he hasn''t been possessed, and the aura of his soul''s plane of origin is correct."


    "His spiritual will is strong... There are no signs of alien race control for now."


    "However, the Visualization Method he cultivates seems quite special; it could well be a second-class Visualization Method," the deep voice said, "I speculate that there are still secrets hidden in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, but he seems unwilling to disclose them."


    "There''s no need to delve deeper."


    "Everyone has their own selfish desires and secrets."


    "Just confirm that his allegiance is to our Seven Star Civilization," the blurred figure said, "As for his training, follow my previous instructions."


    "Yes."


    "Also, Master, the ''North Moon Deity'' from the Myriad Demons Star Realm wants to complete the transaction we abandoned last time and has asked me about it," the deep voice said, "What should we do?"


    "Tell him,"


    "the transaction is possible, but the price compared to last time is increased by thirty percent, and if they don''t agree this time, it will be increased by fifty percent next time," the blurred figure said indifferently, "You may leave now."


    Whoosh!


    Strands of golden light bloomed, faintly warping the space, making the figure even more elusive and vague, as if existing in another spatial plane.


    ...


    Alicia''s gains were unclear to Li Yuan.


    He continued his cultivation methodically.


    Upon arriving in the Martial Divine Star Realm, unlike Dantai Feng and Yin Man, who might have been excited for a while, Li Yuan was used to the days of cultivation; it was simply practicing with his spear in a different place.


    Just like in his younger years, even when his family was celebrating the New Year, Li Yuan could still be found practicing alone in his room, finding joy in it.


    Martial Arts Cultivation is destined to be lonely.


    Many strong individuals may cultivate diligently to achieve a certain goal in their hearts, for revenge, for wealth, and so on, and they believe in their bones that cultivation is incredibly arduous.


    But Li Yuan was different.


    At the beginning of wielding the spear, he longed to change the fate of his family, to ensure his uncle and aunt''s efforts were not in vain... However, by today, many of the goals he had were already achieved.


    The lives of his family and their destiny had already been completely changed.


    Yet Li Yuan could still immerse himself in cultivation wholeheartedly because¡ªhe enjoyed this solitude.


    Is practicing with the spear arduous? Is cultivation arduous? Li Yuan thought these ideas were fallacies¡ªhe felt nothing but absolute comfort."


    "Xiao Yu, has the combat robot been delivered?" Li Yuan suddenly spoke.


    "It was delivered two hours ago; I''ve already arranged for it to stay in the ''charging room''," the auxiliary intelligence''s voice responded, "Do you wish to activate it, Master?"


    "Activate it!"


    ...


    In the vast Martial Arts Room, two figures were engaged in intense combat.


    "Fierce! Stellar Burst, this move should be extremely rapid," Li Yuan wielded the Black Chen Spear, infusing it with Origin Power, endowing the Semi Divine Artifact with terrifying might.


    With every thrust, it burst with the force of exploding stars.


    The power of each thrust was stronger than the last, violently challenging the other figure clad in black armor, wielding dual shields.


    The figure in black armor maneuvered the shields fluidly, with incredible resilience, continuously warding off Li Yuan''s Spear Technique.


    "Still not fast enough."


    "If only considering the might of the Spear Technique, my second True Intent Killing Move ''Stellar Burst'' is immensely powerful, almost the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But no matter how strong the attack''s might is, if the speed is not fast enough, it cannot be fully effective."


    The first True Intent Killing Move ''Galaxy Flow Spin'' is a defensive technique, emphasizing an unending continuity.


    The second True Intent Killing Move ''Stellar Burst'' is a pure offensive technique, like a tiger pouncing down the mountain, overwhelming the opponent with absolute force.


    But shortly after perfecting this killing move,


    through continuous insight and deduction, Li Yuan realized the issue at hand¡ªthe Spear Technique was indeed fierce but not fast enough... so as long as the enemy could block it head-on, it would be hard to overcome them.


    "Speed."


    "I need to make my Spear Technique faster and more unpredictable, not only with enough frightful power, but it must leave the enemy unable to trace it at all," Li Yuan thought as he fought the figure in black armor, sensing the mysterious fluctuations of the universe through the Long Spear.


    He strived to make his Spear Technique faster and more intricate.


    The strongest, the fastest¡ªthat''s what could be called unbeatable Spear Technique. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was also what Li Yuan had always pursued with his third True Intent Killing Move, but he had not yet perfected it.


    "Boom! Boom!" The black-armored figure fighting Li Yuan was like an indestructible cockroach.


    Even if it occasionally couldn''t withstand the Long Spear''s fierce strikes and was forced to retreat, it would come back unharmed after Unloading Force, ready to fight again.

    "Number Four, that''s enough for today," Li Yuan suddenly spoke up.Following that, Li Yuan''s figure abruptly retreated.


    The figure in black armor appeared startled for a moment, then bowed slightly and quickly disappeared into the corridor.


    "These combat robots are really impressive," Li Yuan watched as the other party left, and reflected to himself, "They can perfectly unleash the strength of a top grade Origin Martial Artist, and in terms of vitality alone, I''m afraid even top grade Origin Martial Artists might not keep up." S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And they can execute many profound techniques on command.


    While the efficiency of combat is not as high as with real top grade Origin Martial Artists in actual combat training... the advantage is that they are available anytime and anywhere.


    After all, not even the members of the Martial Divine Hall could afford the luxury of being individually paired with a top grade Origin Martial Artist for sparring in actual combat.


    "Compared to it, the three golden-armored figures in the Hall of Inheritance are even more powerful and agile," Li Yuan thought to himself, "I wonder how such high-grade robots are made, and why aren''t they more widespread?"


    If robots with strength comparable to level 28 Origin Martial Artists could be mass produced, then the Seven Star Civilization would likely be able to quickly turn the tide in the many battlefields of the Star Realms.


    Unfortunately,


    except for in the Martial Divine Star Realm, Li Yuan had never seen such powerful robots anywhere else.


    ...


    "Master, this is the free cultivation resources provided by the Martial Divine Hall for the following month," a support robot named ''Number Five'' by Li Yuan, came down the corridor to the Martial Arts Room, delivering a huge box to Li Yuan.


    At a glance, the box seemed to be half a cubic meter in size.


    All these support robots were humanoid, and their level of intelligence was extremely high, but they did not use biometric technology for their exteriors.


    "Free cultivation resources?" Li Yuan reached out to take it, swiftly confirming the triple password, and the box opened.


    Inside were various crystal clear jade bottles, filled with many kinds of liquids.


    "These are all primarily Second Rank treasures, with a few Third Rank treasures forming the Spiritual Liquid," Li Yuan, whose standard had also reached quite a height and had read the introductions in the manual, quickly recognized, "They assist in enhancing Physical Quality and are Spirit Nurturing Elixirs."


    These resources were provided to every Martial Divine Hall member on a monthly basis.


    If the monthly expense were converted into Blue Star Coins, it would be about 100 million Blue Star Coins, all provided directly.


    "Using these auxiliary cultivation resources, although far from Third Rank treasures, let alone Fourth Rank... they are sufficient to continually escalate the Physical Quality and spiritual power of any Martial Divine Hall member," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The free supply of these resources alone amounted to a staggering number when multiplied by the number of members each year.


    "Number Five, you may go back," Li Yuan said softly, "Have the staff of the Martial Divine Hall convert it all into Blue Star Coins for me."


    "Yes."


    To Li Yuan, these auxiliary cultivation resources were of no significance. With normal cultivation, he would reach level 29 in a few months... To progress further and become level 30 was not something that external treasures alone could achieve.


    Moreover, Li Yuan wasn''t planning on trying to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the short term; he was still determined to awaken the Seven Star Veins and possibly even the Eight Star Veins during his time as an Origin Martial Artist.


    For Li Yuan, the stage of Origin Martial Artist was the most crucial phase for establishing a foundation.


    ...


    "I didn''t expect that the Pillar of Spirit here would still have some effect in honing me," Li Yuan, in addition to his cultivation, also took time to visit a separate temple not far from the Martial Divine Hall.


    Inside the temple, a massive Pillar of Spirit was placed.


    It was similar to the one at Kunlun Martial University.


    It constantly emitted spiritual pressure to hone the spirits and wills of Martial Artists.


    Even someone as mentally strong as Li Yuan could feel the pressure, clearly indicating that the Pillar of Spirit in the Martial Divine Star Realm was much more advanced.


    Similarly, there were many Martial Divine Hall members practicing here, with dozens present at the moment, many of whom were new members.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan is here," many people noted Li Yuan''s presence. Figures like Nevsky and Dantai Feng were also there practicing, and they just thought of getting up to greet him.


    "No need," Li Yuan directly communicated via telepathy, urging them to continue their cultivation in peace.


    "Is that Li Yuan?"


    "They say he''s only 19, but when I sense his life force, why does it seem so strong? Doesn''t seem much weaker than us."


    "With The Battle of Seven Stars twelve days away, how far can he make it?"


    "Hard to say."


    "I reckon he''ll get through the fourth challenge, at most. After all, he''s still so young. Even if his Physical Quality is impressive, his skills are probably not yet at the Fifth Stage High Rank," some of the more veteran members also noticed Li Yuan.


    Judging just by Physical Quality, most of these veteran members were level 29.


    Though part of Martial Divine Mountain, most had heard of Li Yuan.


    Just as Li Yuan was about to leave.


    Suddenly,


    "Li Yuan?" A voice with a hint of mirth came from behind Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but turn around and saw two figures standing there, the leader wearing a black Battle Garment and a smiling face, looking to be in his thirties.


    Something about him felt familiar to Li Yuan.


    "You are?" Li Yuan hesitated slightly, then a spark of recognition flashed in his mind as he recalled a photograph he had seen, saying with some surprise, "Senior Yan Jing?"


    "Haha, I didn''t expect you to recognize me, Li Yuan," the young man in the black Battle Garment laughed, clearly pleased.


    He was indeed the senior from Kunlun Martial University who was as famous as Jin Huguo in the past few decades.


    Before coming, Li Yuan had been told by Dean Hai that in his fifth year at the university, Yan Jing had been specially selected for the Martial Divine Hall, and had been practicing in the Martial Divine Star Realm for the past ten years.


    He just hadn''t expected to meet him so soon.


    "Haha, your reputation, senior, is quite legendary at our Kunlun Martial University," Li Yuan replied with a smile, "Your name is on all the major lists at the school." Your next read is at empire

 Chapter 266 Am I First Rank? Yan Jings Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

    "all that''s history," yan jing said with a head shake and a chuckle, "besides, i''ve had an exchange with brother jin... he told me you''ve even made it through the complete kunlun nine mountains."li yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    before him, the many records of the kunlun nine mountains had always been held by yan jing.


    "senior brother, how have the past few years in the martial divine hall been for you?" li yuan asked curiously.


    "your senior brother yan jing is a member of the seven star mountain," the gentle woman beside him teased.


    "impressive," li yuan smiled and said. "senior brother''s strength is almost on par with that of a flying heaven warrior."


    according to the handbook, to become a member of the seven star mountain, one''s strength must at least reach the threshold of the flying heaven level.


    "i barely became a member of the seven star mountain last year, leveraging on the strength of my star techniques to just meet the attack power standards," yan jing said with a shake of his head. "in terms of skills alone, i haven''t even reached the sixth stage... compared to a true flying heaven warrior, there''s still a huge gap."


    li yuan nodded in agreement.


    for a prime warrior, without truly grasping the true intent, it''s difficult to compare with a flying heaven warrior.


    because¡ªflying heaven warriors can fly!


    flying through the skies is the hallmark of a flying heaven warrior... no matter how strong a prime warrior''s star techniques or weapons might be, if they can''t control the true intent to fly, they can''t contend with a flying heaven warrior.


    "senior brother yan jing, is your skill level at 99% of the fifth stage?" li yuan thought to himself.


    as per school records, yan jing''s talent should be on par with jin huguo''s. entering the martial divine hall for ten years, progressing from the fifth stage high rank to the brink of fifth stage perfection... a very normal cultivation speed.


    over the past few days,


    li yuan had essentially grasped that although there were still over a thousand people in the martial divine hall, there were just over a hundred members of the seven star mountain.


    this means, the majority of members of the martial divine hall, even after more than ten years of cultivation, still couldn''t pass the seven trials of the battle of seven stars.


    even the elite talents selected from various planets who have spent decades cultivating in the martial divine hall, only dare to guarantee their step into the flying heaven level... ultimately, very few at the stage of a prime warrior truly rival a flying heaven warrior.


    "li yuan, keep it up. aim to break through the first five trials in the battle of seven stars, or even the sixth," yan jing whispered with a laugh. "others may not know, but i am well aware of your skill level."


    with a smile, li yuan responded, "i''ll do my best."


    ...


    watching li yuan depart,


    "yan jing, do you think this junior brother can break through the five trials?" the gentle woman beside him couldn''t resist asking. "i''ve heard he''s exceptionally gifted, but isn''t he a bit too young?"


    "this time i''m betting not just on him breaking through the five trials, but also on him taking first place among the newcomers," yan jing replied with a smile.


    "first among the newcomers?" the gentle woman was surprised. "do you think he''s stronger than bertman from this batch of newcomers?"


    "bertman is level 29, has trained for much longer, is a second class inheritor of the martial god, and has absolutely terrifying strength," the gentle woman questioned doubtfully. "li yuan will definitely be incredibly strong later, perhaps the next lude nef."


    "but right now? how can he compete with bertman?" the gentle woman shook her head, clearly skeptical about li yuan''s current strength earning him the first place.


    "you don''t understand," yan jing said with a smile. "i was actually planning to pay a visit to this junior brother, just happened to bump into him." s§×arch* the n?vel?ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "firstly, to build a relationship."


    "and secondly, to assess his physical quality... i sensed it carefully just now, and he''s at least level 28, from the intelligence i''ve gathered, it seems he also has the soul of flying heaven level."


    "let''s wait and see, i believe in him."


    yan jing, who once ventured into the ninth mountain among kunlun nine mountains, knew very well the skill requirements for passing the kunlun nine mountains... he also calculated li yuan''s skill improvement rate over the past year.


    he reached an astonishing conclusion¡ªli yuan''s current skill level might have already reached the brink of the fifth stage.


    in the end, he decided to take a gamble.


    with many members in the martial divine hall, many senior members would privately place bets.


    be it with blue star coins or with seven stars points.


    events like the annual battle of seven stars were the pinnacle, where the most popular bets were on who would take first place and who could pass the five trials.


    "this time, how much are you planning to wager?" the gentle woman asked.


    "not much, just 1000 seven stars points," yan jing said.


    "that''s not much?" the gentle woman was shocked. "are you insane?"


    1000 seven stars points is something not even a flying heaven warrior could ignore.


    "no one has faith in li yuan, so those bookmakers have set very high odds. i will be spreading my bets," he said.


    "i have confidence in li yuan," yan jing said with a smile. "rest assured, this time i might be able to make back everything i''ve lost before."


    "you''re totally mad, a lunatic," the gentle woman retorted, shaking her head. "how many seven stars points have you saved up in all your years, apart from what you need for your own cultivation?"


    "what i''m betting on is what others don''t know about li yuan''s true strength," yan jing said.


    li yuan, having traversed the kunlun nine mountains, had caused an immense stir within kunlun martial university, regarded as a legend by many students. your journey continues on empire


    but inside the martial divine hall, except for yan jing and jin huguo, hardly anyone knew about this.


    this is the difference in information.


    ...


    li yuan had no idea that yan jing was placing bets on him.


    after taking a tour around the martial divine hall and gaining a preliminary understanding,


    "lecture hall?"


    "according to the handbook, every once in a while there will be flying heaven peak warriors who come to teach the mysteries of true intent," li yuan glanced over at the several massive halls in the distance.


    each of the halls was large enough to accommodate over a thousand people.


    today, only one of the halls was filled with many martial divine hall members attending a class.


    flying heaven peak warriors, with at least sixth stage skills and a direct understanding of the mysteries of true intent, can easily attract members of the martial divine hall to their lectures.


    occasionally, even star masters of level 36 would come to teach a class.


    the schedule would be distributed to every student.


    but whether or not they choose to attend, and which flying heaven warrior''s class they wish to listen to, is up to each member to decide.

 Chapter 266 Am I First Rank? Yan Jings Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4

    ```"the lecturer today seems to be a flying heaven peak martial artist from the metal vein, not interested," li yuan shook his head to himself.


    he headed straight for the martial divine hall.


    today was july 5th, the very day when, following the ranking, he could receive the martial god inheritance.


    ...


    the martial divine hall towered majestically, emanating an ancient and vast aura. its doors were bronze-colored and usually kept closed.


    apart from li yuan, no one else arrived at the ''waiting area'' outside the door.


    suddenly.


    "boom~" the gate opened, and a figure in purple clothes flew straight out of the palace. li yuan did not recognize the unfamiliar face.


    their eyes met only briefly.


    the figure in purple soared into the sky, heading toward seven star mountain in the high sky.


    "a member of seven star mountain? the ability to fly without relying on a flying device suggests a super genius who must control true intent," li yuan looked up at the suspended mountain range in the sky, its peaks rising and falling continuously.


    living atop seven star mountain, overlooking the entire star realm, must be very uplifting.


    "li yuan."


    "please enter," a cold voice echoed from behind the waiting area, "if you do not enter within one minute, you will be considered to have forfeited this martial god inheritance."


    whoosh!


    li yuan stepped directly into the martial divine hall, and the metallic gate slowly closed behind him.


    ...


    the interior of the martial divine hall was spacious with a metal floor, but towering divine pillars stood throughout.


    mysterious patterns were carved on the pillars, too obscure for li yuan to decipher.


    overall, the entire hall''s style was very antiquarian.


    as his gaze swept across the room, li yuan couldn''t help but think of the hall of inheritance where gu you resided; both structures were quite similar.


    "could it be..."


    "that this martial divine hall, like the hall of inheritance, was left behind by powerful beings from the past? is it an ancient relic?" li yuan thought to himself.


    the next moment.


    hum~ an invisible fluctuation swept over li yuan, attempting to plunge his consciousness into oblivion.


    "wake up!" li yuan''s strong mental presence subconsciously resisted this enveloping wave.


    explore more at empire


    "first rank martial god inheritor li yuan," a gentle voice suddenly sounded in li yuan''s mind, "do not resist, or else the inheritance cannot commence."


    "first rank?" li yuan paused upon hearing this, wasn''t it supposed to be second class?


    even the duanmu mountain master had said he was a second class martial god inheritor.


    when had it changed to first rank?


    but this was not the time for li yuan to delve into such questions.


    after just a moment''s hesitation, li yuan ceased resisting and willingly surrendered to the invisible pull.


    li yuan''s eyes closed.


    a few seconds later.


    "swoosh~"


    whether deliberate or not, in the hands of the now closed-eyed li yuan, a long spear suddenly appeared.


    it was the black chen spear.


    then, boom! li yuan''s body was instantly covered in countless earthy yellow lights, his long spear drawing dazzling radiance... terrifying spear techniques were executed one after another.


    this was an instinct, compelling li yuan to deploy his most formidable strength subconsciously.


    whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!


    endless spear light bloomed as li yuan, guided by the invisible force, achieved a perfect blend of mind and body.


    after a long while.


    "strength assessment successful."


    "skilled in spear technique, exhibits a high level of affinity with the earth vein... also has a certain level of compatibility with the wind vein..." a cold voice began to resonate within li yuan''s mind, "inheritance initiated."


    "marking target induction, unknown fifth order divine being, skilled in spear technique, versed in both earth and wind laws."


    "inheritance begins."


    even though li yuan''s consciousness was being guided, he remained lucid.


    this moment, that cold voice set off tempestuous waves in his heart.


    he had a certain degree of compatibility with the wind vein? since when was he aware of this?


    at the same time.


    li yuan also realized that the seven star civilization''s martial divine hall inheritance... seemed indeed to be related to divine beings.


    before li yuan could contemplate further. sea??h th§× novel(f~)ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    hum~


    a point of light emerged within the hall, appearing out of nowhere, and descended directly onto li yuan''s forehead.


    "boom!"


    li yuan''s consciousness sank entirely, but in that instant, he became utterly transfixed.


    ```

 Chapter 6)

    this was a rather vast world.an endless wilderness stretched before him, the land vast and broad, with a figure about three meters high standing there.


    he was clad in black combat armor intricately patterned, as if containing unnamed fluctuations that made the figure''s presence even more terrifying.


    in his palm was a nearly five-meter-long silver spear, the shaft of which was carved with countless complex and secret runes, particularly at the spearhead.


    whoosh!


    the black figure''s long spear suddenly moved, practicing spear technique on the spot.


    it was in the instant of the spear''s dance.


    hum~ soundlessly, a consciousness completely merged into the figure in the black combat armor.


    "me?" li yuan was bewildered, sensing that he seemed to have entered a new body, his perception sharp to the extreme, with the vast world seemingly within his control.


    his immensely powerful body, every gesture, seemed capable of annihilating heaven and earth.


    however, li yuan''s conscious will was very vague, as if suppressed by an invisible force, unable to control the body, only sensing instinctively.


    "the mark!"


    "right, this seems to be a spiritual imprint left by a divine being," the thought vaguely flashed through li yuan''s mind: "what i should do is to sense the mystery of this imprint."


    spear technique!


    li yuan could sense that the man in the black combat armor was practicing spear techniques, each movement slow, not even harnessing much power within his body, yet the spear was drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth.


    "it is the force of the earth vein from heaven and earth." li yuan''s perception was extremely clear; this was the force of heaven and earth he often harnessed in his training.


    utterly familiar!


    beyond the force of the earth vein of heaven and earth, li yuan also sensed another force, just as refined, but not as powerful.


    "this force of heaven and earth, it somehow also feels familiar." li yuan''s subconscious had already forgotten what he was supposed to do, only focusing all his effort on sensing it, trying to understand, to remember.


    whoosh! whoosh!


    the man in the black combat armor continued practicing with the spear, its might rapidly transforming, not containing a trace of origin power, but the force of heaven and earth it summoned was increasingly terrifying and refined.


    "whoosh!"


    with the movement of the spear, it seemed like stars in tumult, making the man in the black combat armor appear as a celestial body, embodying an unshakable, terrifying dignity capable of crushing everything.


    "stellar true intent!"


    "his level of spear technique has entered the sixth stage, the force of heaven and earth so refined, it can be called true intent," li yuan continued to sense clearly.


    he had an illusion, as if he himself had also comprehended the stellar true intent.


    this feeling was very mysterious and strange.


    suddenly.


    "whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!" the originally mighty and majestic spear technique abruptly changed, seeming to incorporate another profound mystery, becoming unpredictable.


    a burst of spear light, occasionally erupting, was enough to stir the void for over a hundred meters, as if to tear the void apart.


    the speed of the silver spear dance grew faster.


    the might of the spear technique grew more terrifying.


    continue your journey on empire


    "this... seems to be the integration of another true intent, the combination of two mighty true intents," li yuan''s sensing became more arduous: "this should be wind... the mystery of the wind vein''s true intent."


    it was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.


    regarding the stellar true intent, li yuan had cultivated to the fifth stage perfection, and he was only one step away from the initial condensation of true intent.


    therefore, he found sensing the divine being''s imprint and comprehending the mysteries of stellar true intent extremely comforting.


    all the many confusions of the past seemed to unravel in an instant.


    but as for the mystery of the earth vein''s true intent? although, in the training over the past few months, li yuan had followed his heart in pursuit of maximizing the speed of his spear technique, and had already begun to unwittingly draw on a bit of the power of heaven and earth from the earth vein... he was still far from condensing the earth vein''s true intent.


    so, even though he had a very clear sense of it, li yuan still struggled to truly understand.


    "follow this feeling."


    "experience these profound fluctuations." although li yuan''s conscious mind was suppressed, his subconscious, instinctual nature had given up on directly deciphering and was instead striving to remember this rhythm of the spear technique.


    to grasp the profoundness! to seize the essence!


    from this moment, li yuan''s consciousness seemed to completely merge with the man in black combat armor, indistinguishable from each other, clearly sensing the copious mysterious fluctuations of heaven and earth in his spear technique.


    time passed.


    the spear technique displayed by the man in black combat armor became increasingly powerful. he still had not drawn upon his physical strength, but his spiritual will had completely merged into the spear technique.


    the spear technique became ever more sharp.


    the power of heaven and earth it drew upon grew increasingly vast and unfathomable.


    a radius of several hundred meters around him, following the rhythm of the spear technique, had been thoroughly turned into ruins.


    countless fragments of stone and dirt shook and tumbled through the vast sky along with the spear light.


    suddenly, it seemed as if the power of heaven and earth being drawn upon had reached a certain limit.


    "whoosh!"


    with a sudden thrust of his long spear, the man in black combat armor unleashed a strike that was immensely powerful and also incredibly fast.


    with a single thrust!


    boom! boom! the previously vast and imposing power of heaven and earth was completely compressed into a single point, all condensed at the tip of the spear, instantly making the power of the spear tip reach an inconceivable level.


    whoosh~


    the spear light tore through the vast sky, instantly piercing through a thousand kilometers of the void, leaving behind a long-lasting trace between heaven and earth.


    "law!"


    "it''s the law of earth, the wind law." li yuan realized, and vaguely thought of a move he had seen principal fang hai perform before.


    a single drop of rain, tearing through heaven and earth.


    how similar it was to the move he was witnessing now, both directly drawing upon the mystery of heaven and earth, and their power reaching terrifying levels.


    human strength is limited.


    but the power of heaven and earth is infinite.


    "this divine being''s move seems even stronger, his spear technique containing two great laws, almost perfectly integrating the law of earth with that of wind." li yuan felt enlightened.


    the man in black combat armor continued to practice his spear, his spear technique becoming ever more esoteric.


    let alone the wind law, even the fluctuations of the law of earth were completely beyond li yuan''s understanding.


    after all, he had only just touched the threshold of true intent, to say nothing of condensing the essential mysteries of the laws representing the nature of heaven and earth.


    but still.


    even if he did not understand, this resonance and comprehension of the spiritual imprint was indeed a special kind of baptism, laying the firmest foundation for li yuan''s future cultivation.


    after a long time had passed and this resonance of consciousness became extremely exhausting, li yuan''s consciousness gradually became weary.


    finally.


    "boom!" the man in black combat armor''s eyes snapped into focus.


    he abruptly mobilized the vast and endless origin power within his body and fully activated the six star meridians... he burst out with all his might.


    a spear thrust forward.


    the terrifying power instantly tore through the land ahead.


    it was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split apart; one by one, mountains were crushed and torn apart, eventually leaving behind a ravine hundreds of kilometers long... such was the terrifying power of a single spear.


    whoosh!


    the man in black combat armor finally retracted his spear and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.


    his burst speed had reached over 100 kilometers per second in just a few seconds, arriving at the very edge of the void.


    hum~


    the thread of consciousness that belonged to li yuan, which had descended here, was rapidly disintegrating, and in the final scene before complete disintegration, he vaguely saw a massive warship at the edge of the void.


    on the warship, there seemed to be many figures wearing the same black combat armor...


    ...


    inside the martial divine hall.


    "hm?" li yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat puzzled, feeling a sense of unreality.


    a very mystical experience


    to resonate with the spiritual imprint of a divine being? the impact on li yuan''s spiritual will was too great.


    even with a soul as strong as his, he was somewhat dazed for a time.


    in the countless spear techniques he sensed through the consciousness resonance.


    now, combined with li yuan''s lucid consciousness, his mind was flooded with countless insights.


    yet, if he wanted to truly master them, he had to personally practice and experience the spear technique.


    after a while, li yuan finally calmed down completely.


    "li yuan," a gentle voice suddenly said, "remember, only a first-rank martial god inheritor is eligible for ''consciousness resonance'' and can understand the true essence of the inheritance."


    "second-class martial god inheritors and third-class martial god inheritors, except for very few, mostly just assimilate the marks and learn through intuition. the effects of their inheritance differ much more. even if they have guesses, they do not understand the specific details."


    "therefore, remember not to reveal any secrets," the gentle voice said.


    "understood," li yuan nodded.


    he had a hunch that this gentle voice was probably the true ruler of the martial divine hall.


    as for the so-called truth? li yuan''s heart trembled even more.


    this divine imprint left by the divine being... was just too miraculous, and from the screening situation just now, the number of divine being inheritances contained within the martial divine hall was probably astonishing.


    indeed, it was very surprising.


    so many divine inheritances, where did they come from? this was surely one of the greatest secrets of the seven star civilization. s§×arch* the novel(f~)ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    at this moment, li yuan also somewhat understood.


    why, in just a short period of time, the seven star civilization rose swiftly, giving birth to so many demigods and flying heaven warriors.


    with the martial divine hall''s inheritance, the probability of a genius growing into a strong warrior was much higher.


    what constitutes the foundation of a civilization? this was it!


    "as a first-rank martial god inheritor, you can receive an inheritance of marks once a year," the gentle voice said. "you may return next july."


    "but externally, you are still considered a second-rank martial god inheritor, do not expose yourself."


    li yuan nodded slightly, his mind already on the divine spirit liquid, which was also provided privately.


    the martial god inheritance was probably the same.


    "furthermore, i must remind you, the inheritance of marks and the consciousness resonance are merely to let you experience the pinnacle of spear technique and the mystery of the law''s fluctuation; they are still just auxiliary to your own efforts."


    "your own spear technique, your perception of the heavens and earth... you must still cultivate step by step," the gentle voice advised. "do not be negligent, as every instance of consciousness resonance comes at a great cost to our seven star civilization."


    "yes," li yuan said solemnly.


    indeed, the consciousness resonance was not real, he had not yet condensed the stellar true intent, and he was still far from understanding the mystery of wind... yet this experience was enough to give him a more complete recognition of the path ahead.


    in a sense, it was as if he had received the cultivation experience of a divine being.


    "any other questions?" the gentle voice asked. "if there are no questions, you may leave."


    "may i ask senior, what are the requirements to advance from a first-rank martial god inheritor to a special-rank martial god inheritor?" li yuan asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.


    if there were such benefits to being first-rank, what about special-rank?


    the hall fell silent for a few seconds.


    "when you achieve flying heaven, think about it then," the gentle voice answered. "special-rank martial god inheritors are unrelated to the martial divine hall... when your strength is sufficiently powerful, you will naturally come to understand."


    ...


    li yuan walked out of the hall.


    rumbling~ the doors of the hall closed.


    "fifth-rank unidentified divine being inheritance imprint, depleted of power, now temporarily sealed for restoration."


    "reactivate in twenty years." an invisible fluctuation transmitted throughout the martial divine hall.


    ...


    soon after, li yuan returned to his palace residence.


    "xiaoyu! activate seclusion mode!"


    "for the next twelve days, no one must disturb me for anything other than matters of extreme importance," li yuan ordered directly.


    right now, having just received the inheritance, all sorts of feelings and insights were at their clearest. he had to seize the time to cultivate.


    "yes, master," xiaoyu responded.


    quickly, the entire villa was transformed, isolating all external influences.


    in the underground martial arts room.


    "spear!" the black chen spear appeared in li yuan''s right hand, and he gripped it firmly, his mind filled with the scenes of consciousness resonance with the unknown divine being he had just experienced.


    he did not rashly begin practicing with the spear but instead strived to quiet his heart and search for that special sensation.


    for a long time.


    "law integration!"


    "the strongest, the fastest! that is the peak of spear technique," li yuan pondered silently. "that unknown divine being managed to integrate two laws, increasing the might of the spear technique to an incomprehensible level... i am far behind."


    "one step at a time."


    "follow the sensation and practice!"

 Chapter 268 Breakthrough! Embryo of True Intent (Request for Monthly Votes)

    time flowed by, day by day.beyond his daily foundational cultivation, li yuan devoted almost all his remaining time to practicing his spear technique.


    without sleep or rest.


    besides li yuan, the newcomers who had just joined the martial divine hall, after their initial excitement, also began to practice relentlessly.


    with the inheritance of the martial god, teachers who were flying heaven peak warriors, various free third-rank secret manuals, optimal combat training, and numerous auxiliary cultivation treasures... any martial arts genius would understand that these are undoubtedly the best cultivation conditions offered by the seven star civilization.


    if not now, when would they strive hard?


    especially those geniuses who had received the "martial god inheritance."


    for instance, li yuan had conveyed yu jinghe''s advice to dantai feng, tian dazhuang, jin huguo, and others...


    read new chapters at empire


    feeling the preciousness of the martial god inheritance, these geniuses naturally desired even more to ascend from third-class inheritors to second-class, or even first-class.


    after all, third-class inheritors of the martial god could only receive the inheritance once every five years.


    compared to the first-class and second-class, the difference in treatment was far too great.


    and the battle of seven stars would be their first debut in the martial divine star realm, an event that both the mountain lords and demigods would pay attention to.


    ...


    july 17th.


    in the vast underground martial arts room, bright lights illuminated the area like daylight.


    whoosh~ whoosh~


    li yuan was holding a long spear and constantly practicing his spear technique in the martial arts room.


    every swing of his long spear drew upon astonishing heavenly and earthly forces, sometimes creating starlight phantoms and sometimes forming spear light illusions.


    "boom~"


    however, compared to the past, li yuan''s spear technique had clearly changed; it was neither the purely continuous and absolute defense of the "whirling galaxy" nor the wild, sweeping, overwhelming offense of the "stellar burst," which served as offense in place of defense.


    instead, it combined the advantages of both true intent killing moves.


    "spear techniques that are too soft won''t do, and long defenses are hard to maintain," li yuan reflected with clarity in his mind. "but spear techniques that are too rigid and strong also won''t do, for excessive rigidity leads to breakage, and unrelenting fierce attacks will eventually exhaust their momentum."


    "the so-called stellar true intent should inherently be complete and flawless, inclusive and comprehensive."


    "the truly superior stellar spear technique should be a harmonious blend of strength and softness, yin-yang conversion, continuous and never-ending." since accepting the martial god inheritance, for more than ten days, li yuan had been practicing the spear following his own insights.


    the miraculous experience of consciousness resonance allowed li yuan to unconsciously gravitate towards the spear technique of the divine, absorbing the essence of the divine spear technique.


    while pondering alone, li yuan would occasionally observe the "map of myriad stars," combining it with his own insights for deduction and summarization.


    his many advantages led to rapid progress.


    in just over ten days, li yuan''s spear technique became smoother and more fluid, and he felt that many of the perplexities of the past were gradually being resolved.


    suddenly, as if a stroke of luck had touched his heart.


    "swoosh~" suddenly, his previously wildly unremitting spear technique transformed in an instant. li yuan''s whole body''s vigor, in combination with his origin power, burst forth through the black chen spear. the numerous spear light phantoms that had exploded before converged, as if a star were suddenly collapsing, with countless energies and materials all gathering at the center, completely concentrating.


    the next instant!


    boom! the terrifying heavenly and earthly forces, compressed to the extreme, were almost entirely focused on the tip of the spear and burst forth from the long spear, twisting as they erupted skywards, and shockingly shot out a spear light dozens of meters long through the void.


    piercing the void!


    enduring endlessly!


    clearly, this spear light had been condensed to the extreme.


    "haha!"


    "i did it, i''ve finally mastered it," li yuan''s eyes sparkled with an inexplicable light, "the condensation of this spear has increased my attack power by several times over."


    "the might of one spear is nearly at the limit of the fifth stage," li yuan mused internally, "it can already be considered the embryonic form of true intent."


    "to think that the chasm between the fifth and sixth stages has been crossed by me so unwittingly."


    what is called the condensation of true intent,


    is to continuously comprehend and lead the forces of heaven and earth until they fuse into one point, much like curling five fingers into a fist and punching out fiercely, its power astonishing... previously, li yuan''s two major true intent killing moves, whether utmost yin or utmost yang, couldn''t achieve perfect condensation, thus they could only be considered fifth stage perfection.


    but now, this move, with yin-yang conversion and perpetual life, is truly close to the spear technique of the sixth stage.


    it can be said.


    in the time to come, as long as li yuan keeps comprehending and sensing more of the forces of heaven and earth, and strives to integrate these comprehensions into this spear technique killing move... and keeps refining it.


    he will inevitably truly step into the sixth stage.


    just by creating the third true intent killing move, his skill has reached the threshold of the sixth stage; should this news spread, it would surely shock the many geniuses of the martial divine hall and a great number of flying heaven warriors.


    it''s well known that many flying heaven warriors, relying on years of accumulation, have created five or even six true intent killing moves, yet still struggle to break through.


    "true intent killing moves value quality, not quantity,"


    li yuan thought to himself, "these three true intent killing moves of mine have already encapsulated the mysteries of the stellar true intent, sufficient for my use."


    "many flying heaven warriors, despite creating numerous true intent killing moves, essentially have an insufficiently high comprehension of the mystery of heaven and earth, and the core mysteries of many moves are similar, unable to merge with each other... being numerous and mixed actually hinders breakthrough," li yuan, now of a higher realm and having inherited the divine spear-fighting experience, had an elevated perspective as well.


    in the current eyes of li yuan, many of the skills and moves of the flying heaven warriors had flaws and weaknesses.


    such rapid progress was also because li yuan had sufficient accumulation, having practiced the supreme star technique for so long, the martial god inheritance, and the map of myriad stars... all added up with li yuan''s inherently high comprehension.


    he had made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.


    "this move, i will name based on the final layer''s conception in ''meaning of the stellar''," li yuan thought casually, "let''s call it ''stellar reversion to ruins''."


    in an instant, all power is withdrawn and then in the next moment, it completely bursts forth towards one point, indeed worthy of the phrase ''reversion to ruins''."


    "what a pity."


    "up to now, i still can''t integrate the mysteries of the wind into the stellar spear technique," li yuan shook his head slightly.


    li yuan''s spear technique, while always pursuing the strongest, the fastest,


    during the resonance of consciousness with the divine spear technique, he personally experienced the integration of the two laws.


    however, when he truly consciously mimicked the divine spear technique to practice, li yuan realized... it was too difficult.


    first of all, to truly comprehend the mystery of the wind was very difficult.


    "i may have some talent in the wind vein, but compared to the talent of the earth vein, it''s far too lacking," li yuan secretly said, "over these ten-plus days, i have only comprehended a bit of the mysteries of the wind."


    "computed, it''s barely at the standard of 10% of the fifth stage."


    the boost to his strength was negligible.


    li yuan also attempted to combine the two forces of heaven and earth.


    but the core of the two forces was entirely different, like two armies abruptly mixed together¡ªbattle power may not increase, but might even decrease.


    at least, li yuan still didn''t have much of a clue now.


    spear technique moves, invoking the power of heaven and earth, were never about quantity but about suitability.


    "no rush!"


    "i''ll contemplate it step by step. that divine being was even able to combine two major laws to erupt with power," li yuan thought to himself. "i just want to make a preliminary integration of the earth and wind mysteries, and i refuse to believe i can''t do it."


    he calmed his mind.


    li yuan continued to ponder over the spear technique, not stopping until deep into the night.


    then he began to practice the visualization method.


    ...


    july 18th, a little past four in the morning.


    "once dawn arrives, it will be the time for the battle of seven stars," li yuan''s eyes carried a hint of anticipation. "i also don''t know how far i can go."


    his gaze involuntarily swept over the divine palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [life level: 28.4 (second rank)]


    fist strength: 704,000 kilograms


    speed: 353 meters/second

    nine layers star technique "true solution of the earth star vein": first rank level 9 (level 9)


    five layers star technique "stellar mysterious body": second rank level 5 (level 10)


    ...


    "whether it''s physical quality, spear technique skills, or star technique, all have been cultivated to the current limit," li yuan murmured to himself. "i''ll do my best."


    he gently closed his eyes, silently regulating his breath.


    at eight o''clock in the morning, he drank some third rank spiritual liquid again and ate some food.


    feeling quite comfortable throughout his body, li yuan finally received a message alert: "li yuan, come out quickly."


    ...


    in the martial divine star realm, with a maximum diameter of over a thousand kilometers, only lived a little over a thousand martial divine hall members, and a handful of logistical support staff.


    therefore, aside from the most central area which served as the daily living and cultivation space for geniuses like li yuan and dantai feng,


    in the outer areas, many ultra-large buildings with special uses were constructed.


    for example¡ªthe seven stars battlefield.


    this actually is a large-scale combat space built specially for the yearly battle of seven stars.


    inside a small flying vehicle that was carrying li yuan, dantai feng, alicia, tian dazhuang, jin huguo, yin man, and yin he, they flew towards the vast expanse of the seven stars battlefield.


    the twelve talents from blue star seemed to be from the same hometown, but most were not acquainted with one another.


    they formed small cliques.


    or to say, the several hundred geniuses of the entire martial divine hall were all divided into many cliques.


    and this group, naturally centered around li yuan, with people like yin man, yin he... was purely because they were all from xia country and wished to socialize a bit, thus they had taken the initiative to gather.


    "you all didn''t come yesterday," dantai feng said with a smile. "yesterday''s seven stars advancement battle for the older generation was actually quite amazing."


    "over a dozen made a successful assault on the seven star mountain, even revealing mysteries of true intent," dantai feng said with a sigh. "so impressive, those two, i heard, are veterans who have been practicing for over ten years, still prime warriors but definitely a match for a real flying heaven warrior."


    the battle of seven stars held in the martial divine star realm, aside from the yearly battle for newcomers, also holds ''advancement battles''.


    any old members who feel they have sufficient strength can apply to fight.


    it''s generally held two days before the newcomers'' battle, with the option for others to go watch.


    "you missed out big time by not seeing it," dantai feng said with a look of regret.


    "as if everyone''s like you, not capable enough to participate in the battle, yet not focusing on cultivation," tian dazhuang shook his head. "wandering around all day."


    "this is called familiarizing oneself with the environment and broadening one''s knowledge," dantai feng retorted, glaring at him. "besides, didn''t you also go to watch the fight yesterday?"


    "haha!" a burst of laughter came from the group.


    everyone was used to the banter between dantai feng and tian dazhuang.


    in fact, if li yuan was not participating in the battle himself, he probably would have gone to watch.


    ...


    the flying vehicle arrived at the outer area of the seven stars battlefield, a gigantic metallic structure over a hundred meters tall. as they got closer, it was still quite shocking to behold.


    li yuan, alicia, and the others got off the flying vehicle.


    "such a huge building, and it''s only used a couple of times a year, that''s pretty extravagant," tian dazhuang remarked.


    "not just that," alicia said with a smile. "i''ve heard that occasionally, when martial divine hall members challenge each other, they will also hold it here."


    "oh? is that so?" tian dazhuang realized.


    "there are quite a few people who''ve come." li yuan looked around.


    many people were also getting off flying vehicles, heading into the interior of the battlefield through the gate.


    how many people were in the entire martial divine hall?


    li yuan was quite surprised to see so many people coming to watch.


    "normally, each year only about one or two hundred old members come to watch, with most people still focusing on their cultivation," dantai feng said with a smile. "but this time it''s different. anyone who stayed in the martial divine star realm will probably come to watch."


    "oh?"


    "why?" not just alicia, but even yin man and yin he were curious.


    dantai feng revealed a mysterious smile: "because this year there are two people who are receiving a lot of attention. one is bertman. he is quite old but has received a second class martial god inheritance spot. many say he has the potential to win six battles."


    "the other is you, li yuan," dantai feng said, looking at li yuan with a spark in his eyes. "i''ve heard that.


    "in the last few months, lude nef, yu jinghe, wu manong, when they meet at martial divine hall gatherings, they mention that they consider li yuan to be the number one talent of the alliance, destined to surpass lude nef."


    "your fame has already spread wide."


    "how could your first battle of seven stars not attract attention?" dantai feng expressed with feeling. "what a pity, when will i receive such remarks like lude nef and the others."

 Chapter 269 The Battle of Seven Stars (Extra 7)

    ```"lude nef? wu manong? they actually commented on li yuan like that?"


    "no wonder li yuan''s fame is so great."


    "these past few days, while training at the pillar of spirit, i often heard many of the older members mention li yuan, and some were perplexed by the high level of attention li yuan has garnered."


    "it turns out that''s the case." jin huguo, tian dazhuang, and yin man listened with considerable emotion.


    the members of martial divine hall have a ''seven stars ranking'' which only includes the top twenty brilliant talents from the seven star mountain, with lude nef ranked first.


    wu manong, yu jinghe, and the others are also listed among them, so people like jin huguo were well aware of the formidable strength of the few mentioned by dantai feng.


    those are the most top-notch talents in the contemporary seven star civilization.


    "li yuan, do you know them?" yin he, who rarely spoke, couldn''t help but ask.


    both from xia country and in terms of training years, yin he is the oldest among them, and among the senior students at blue star starfire martial university, his strength is also the strongest.


    however, compared to bores, he is much more low-key. s§×arch* the n?vel(f)ire.n§×t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "we met in the fierce feather star realm," alicia said with a smile: "the captain''s strength has earned him considerable respect from wu manong and lude nef."


    everyone suddenly understood.


    experience new tales on empire


    "bertman has arrived," alicia suddenly said in a low voice, prompting everyone to look over.


    li yuan also looked over.


    several figures disembarked from another flying vehicle not far away. the man leading them wore a blue robe and had short purple hair. he looked to be just over twenty years old, with a stern expression.


    a group of people were crowding around him, heading inside.


    bertman glanced at li yuan and the others, especially taking a longer look at li yuan, but his face showed no sign of emotion.


    "level 29.6? it seems to have increased by 0.1 since last time," li yuan muttered to himself.


    he had activated the divine palace inquiry to confirm the other''s life level.


    in fact, on the very first day li yuan arrived at martial divine star realm, he had encountered bertman, who had the highest life level among the newcomers.


    but at the time, li yuan did not know that person was bertman.


    "pretty arrogant," dantai feng grumbled: "and he''s got so many people following him like underlings."


    "if you were as strong as him, you''d probably be even more arrogant," tian dazhuang said with a chuckle: "i''ve looked up bertman''s information; he comes from tianhai star, and those around him are most likely newcomers who came from tianhai star this year."


    everyone nodded in agreement.


    the seven star civilization consists of the seven great planets.


    just in terms of population, feixing comes first with 50 billion, followed by tianhai star with over 30 billion, and then comes the blue star with over 10 billion people.


    the larger the population, the greater the number of martial arts talents that will be selected.


    population is the foundation of birthing top-notch talents.


    "almost all the older students say he is hopeful to win first place in the newcomer battle. i know that in the betting pools organized by the older students, they all bet on him to be number one in the newcomer battle and to get the highest performance evaluation," tian dazhuang said with a laugh.


    it was clear that, like tian dazhuang and dantai feng who didn''t have the pressure of participating in the battle of seven stars, they had the most interactions with other older members over half a month and knew the most about various sorts of information.


    "first place? him? if he were really that powerful, he would have been chosen for the martial arts hall long ago," alicia frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.


    deep down, she was very much looking forward to li yuan winning first place in the newcomer battle.


    "alicia, don''t underestimate anyone," li yuan said with a smile: "being a top grade origin martial artist, his greater age actually gives him an advantage in the newcomer''s battle of seven stars."


    "besides, being so aged yet directly confirmed as a second-class martial god inheritor also indirectly proves his exceptional qualities," li yuan said smilingly.


    "hmm," alicia nodded, not objecting.


    just as everyone was about to enter,


    "li yuan, alicia, you guys got here before me," a voice of surprise suddenly came from behind them. following closely, a figure with a full head of blond hair strode forward, revealing a self-perceived handsome smile.


    alicia frowned.


    the smiles also faded from everyone else''s faces.


    "bores," li yuan, however, revealed a polite smile: "long time no see."


    "indeed, it''s been a long time," bores said with a big grin: "shall we go in together?"


    "sure."


    ...


    the entire battle of seven stars arena is quite vast.


    everyone proceeded along the corridor, stepped onto the stairs, and quickly came upon quite a spacious battlefield, with a maximum diameter that definitely exceeded 3 kilometers.


    "it''s quite large," li yuan observed with a sweep of his gaze.


    the terrain of the entire battlefield was not completely flat, but rather quite complex; it was not fully forged from metal either, at first glance it almost seemed like soil, clearly of a very special material.


    "i''ve heard that the building materials for the entire seven stars surface are very unique, acquired in a trade with an alien civilization by a demigod," dantai feng said excitedly: "similar to memory metal, even if the fighting intensifies and changes the terrain, after a major battle, the entire battlefield will quickly return to its original state."


    "that''s pretty special," li yuan said with a smile.


    the group headed towards the spectator platform area.


    compared to the vast combat area, the spectator area was built much smaller, limited to one side of the combat space.


    there were only three thousand spectator seats.


    after all, how many members are there in martial divine hall? the number has never exceeded two thousand in decades.


    thus, three thousand spectator seats were sufficient.


    "bertman has arrived."


    "li yuan is here, too."


    "it seems lude nef and the others think highly of li yuan, but from what i see in those betting pools, they seem to favor bertman even more."


    "isn''t that obvious? how long has bertman been training? how long has li yuan been? lude nef and the others are optimistic about li yuan''s future strength, that doesn''t mean li yuan is strong now," someone retorted.


    ```

 Chapter 269 The Battle of Seven Stars (Extra 7)_2

    "he''s too young.""in my opinion, it would be good if li yuan could win four matches this time," many veteran members in the spectator area were discussing with each other.


    by now, li yuan, alicia, tian dazhuang, and the rest of their group had already taken seats in the third row of the spectator seats.


    each seat was very spacious.


    all the newcomers sat in the lowest rows, so they could quickly join the battle.


    "it sounds like all the veteran members are rooting for bertman," yin he commented softly.


    enjoy exclusive chapters from empire


    "wait until our captain makes a move, then they''ll naturally come to their senses," alicia whispered.


    she had her reasons for being optimistic about li yuan, beyond just trusting him.


    "li yuan, yu jinghe and the others are up there; should we go to meet them?" jin huguo said in a low voice.


    "no need, we''ll talk after the battle," li yuan shook his head, "senior brother, calm your mind and prepare for battle."


    ...


    "li yuan has arrived."


    in the highest seats of the spectator platform, more than ten figures sat, their presence exceptionally strong. people like yu jinghe, tavares, and an yongya were among them.


    the ordinary veteran members below didn''t dare to approach them.


    because these ten-odd people were the most elite of the veteran students from seven star mountain.


    "yu jinghe, do you think your little fellow townsman can make it through the sixth round? however, from the betting pool that an yongya opened, it seems bertman is listed as the favorite," an astonishingly beautiful black-haired woman said curiously.


    she wore purple attire and radiated a heroic spirit.


    "pei jun, just watch," yu jinghe said with a smile, "if you don''t believe me, do you also not trust a demigod''s judgment?"


    pei jun was an incredible talent from feixing, with xia country bloodlines.


    after feixing''s first major extinction caused by an invasion from a foreign civilization, many planets resettled a large number of their population on feixing to replenish various regions.


    the majority of those who immigrated were from xia country.


    now, the people of feixing, descended from many planets and nations, were numerous; those with xia country lineages ranked among the top three.


    "oh?"


    "the mountain lord has arrived," tavares commented as he looked toward the sky, where eight figures descended directly from high above to another side on the podium.


    all of them were flying heaven warriors responsible for guarding the martial divine star realm¡ªeach at least at the peak of flying heaven.


    the one leading was duanmu hong, dressed in a white robe.


    ...


    time passed.


    members of the martial divine hall arrived one by one and took their places on the spectator seats, and they also noticed the arrival of the duanmu mountain lord. no one dared to speak out loudly.


    succeeding that, newcomers like chu chen and nevsky arrived one after the other, and the number of people in the spectator seats had exceeded seven hundred.


    compared to the total number of martial divine hall members, this number was remarkable.


    "there are so many people! at last year''s battle of seven stars, less than a hundred veteran members came to watch," the gentle and beautiful woman sitting next to yan jing surveyed the area and couldn''t help but comment.


    "the situation is different this year," yan jing said with a smile.


    "looking at all the betting pools and discussions, everyone''s listing bertman as the favorite," the gentle and beautiful woman whispered, "are you confident?"


    "just wait and see," yan jing smiled, although he felt quite nervous inside.


    1,000 seven stars points!


    if converted to blue star coins, it would easily amount to over a hundred billion... for yan jing, this was a massive fortune.


    "little brother, give it your all," yan jing muttered to himself, "i''m counting on your victory to turn things around."


    "the mountain lord has flown out," the gentle and beautiful woman suddenly said, "the battle should be starting soon."


    ...


    hum~


    duanmu mountain lord, dressed in a white robe, stepped off the podium, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.


    he stood in the void, overlooking the more than seven hundred people on the spectator seats, and suddenly, an invisible pressure spread out, enveloping the whole seven stars battlefield.


    the previously noisy spectator platform quickly fell silent.


    "i won''t reiterate the specific rules in detail," duanmu mountain lord said indifferently, his voice echoing throughout the battlefield, "i only remind all participants of one thing: today, there are many demigods watching the battle through the virtual network."


    "give it your all!"


    "if you perform well, you might catch the attention of a demigod and then be taken as a direct disciple," duanmu mountain lord announced.


    this caused the eyes of the hundred or so newcomers to light up, including those of chu chen and bertman, both second class inheritors of the martial god.


    demigod direct disciple?


    having arrived at the martial divine star realm, they were naturally aware of what demigods represented¡ªthey were dominating figures of the seven star civilization, with terrifying strength.


    being accepted as a disciple of a demigod would greatly increase their chances of becoming peak flying heaven warriors in the future.


    and there was even a chance to achieve demigod status.


    after all, the majority of disciples from the martial divine hall would end their journey as ordinary flying heaven warriors, with only a few reaching the peak of flying heaven.


    to become a peak flying heaven warrior, one must refine true intent of heaven and earth.


    "demigod''s disciple?" li yuan thought to himself, not too expectant inside.


    even if a demigod wanted to take disciples, it still depended on whether he was willing.


    for li yuan, diligently cultivating and gaining control of the hall of inheritance of the ancient torch divine was the brightest path.


    "three minutes later,"


    "following the pre-arranged order of battle, come onto the field in succession to participate," duanmu mountain lord overseeing everyone with a detached voice, "remember, the battle of seven stars is also a life-or-death battle, so be very careful."


    "otherwise, even with numerous safety measures in place, there is still a chance of death."


    everyone''s heart chilled.


    the death rate was repeatedly mentioned in the handbook. even as the gathering place for the top talents of the seven star civilization, with layers of protection, the rate of death was still alarmingly high. sea??h th§× n?vel?ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ```but why does the martial divine hall only have a thousand people all year round?


    they''re all dead!


    going out to fight and kill in wars claims lives, carrying out certain tasks claims lives, and even the seemingly safe "the battle of seven stars" can be lethal... in the battle of the fierce feather star realm like this one, a super genius named "abbott", at par with wu manong and others, fell.


    ...


    in the seven star civilization, the virtual networks between the seven great planets are not interconnected for ordinary people.


    because once fully linked, the number of people accessing it would be too great, the cost too immense.


    in fact, the virtual network is capable of interconnecting different planets.


    but one would need flying heaven level authorization to enter.


    at this moment, within a "spectator space" on the seven stars virtual network that demands extremely high authorization levels.


    there are powerful existences, one by one, descending their consciousness.


    they are all here to observe the battle.


    the giant screen in the distance is displaying the scene from the "seven stars battlefield" of the martial divine star realm.


    whoosh!


    a black-clad figure appeared out of thin air.


    "fang hai has arrived."


    "old fang."


    "fang hai, come sit with me." those powerful existences who were sitting at the front and chatting with one another called out to fang hai one after another upon seeing him.


    those who qualify to observe here are the highest echelons within the seven star civilization, either demigods or 36th-level star masters.


    they are the ones who decide the direction of the entire seven star civilization.


    everyone sitting at this particular part of the spectator space is a demigod.


    from their address, it was obvious that fang hai''s status was not any less noble than that of a demigod.


    "flame city demigod."


    "qinghe demigod."


    "elder bai shan." fang hai greeted each demigod in turn, directly addressing some demigods by name, while respectfully calling others as elders.


    eventually, he sat down next to a purple-dressed woman wearing a black mask.


    the seats on either side of the purple-dressed woman were empty. read new chapters at empire


    "san ye." fang hai rarely showed a trace of a smile.


    "hmm." the black-masked woman''s voice was gentle but she did not pay much attention to fang hai.


    san ye demigod.


    strength-wise, she might not be one of the top amongst the many demigods within the seven star civilization, perhaps even considered somewhat average, but her identity was extremely special¡ªshe was a close follower of dongfang ji and the first vice hall master of the starfire martial hall.


    most trusted by dongfang ji.


    this also made many demigods in the seven star civilization very respectful of her, not wanting to offend her.


    "why are you also here to watch the battle?" fang hai initiated the conversation.


    his gaze ostensibly fell on the screen ahead, but in reality, it never left san ye.


    "aren''t you here as well?" san ye demigod''s voice was soft, carrying a hint of aloofness.


    "i have two students participating this time, so naturally, i have to come watch." fang hai said with a smile.


    "there are more than thirty members from the starfire hall participating." san ye demigod spoke indifferently, "as the chief responsible officer of the martial hall, shouldn''t i pay attention to it?"


    "but you..."


    "the alliance hierarch has appointed you as the hall master for blue star; you should take some responsibility, not leave it all to the flying heaven warriors under you." san ye demigod glanced at fang hai, then turned her eyes back to the distant screen.


    "alright, alright, i''ll listen to you." fang hai nodded with a laugh.


    "i heard you obtained the visualization method from a divine being?" san ye demigod suddenly spoke again, "the hierarch mentioned it to me yesterday."


    "yes, i acquired it by chance." fang hai nodded and added, "if i have the opportunity, i will certainly help you get a visualization method."


    "there''s no need."


    "my chances of becoming a divine being in this life are slim." san ye demigod spoke lightly, "you should focus more on yourself. the hierarch has said that in the entire civilization, you are likely the person with the highest hope of becoming divine. don''t let down the hierarch''s expectations."


    "becoming a divine being?" a flash of light passed through fang hai''s eyes.


    with his strength, becoming a demigod would be a breeze; he could break through at any moment.


    but why was he still dragging his feet? naturally, he had higher aspirations.


    "fang hai star master."


    a chubby old man sat down beside fang hai: "i heard a formidable student has emerged from your sect."


    "hun, you really have outdated news." fang hai shook his head, "have you been in seclusion again recently?"


    "yes!"


    "i''ve just come out of seclusion." the chubby old man said with a beaming smile, "i heard that a formidable young chap has appeared in our tianhai star, so i specially came to see just how good he is."


    "that must be bertman."


    another red-robed demigod sitting not far away said with a smile, "hun demigod, according to the reports, this bertman should have a chance to ascend directly to seven star mountain."


    "difficult, don''t overestimate him." the chubby old man laughed, but his face could not hide his smile. sea??h th§× nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "old fat man, so you came to show off to me." fang hai grumbled internally.


    he had no doubt about hun demigod''s true purpose.


    for star master demigods, facing ordinary prime warriors and flying heaven warriors, they generally maintain their dignity and composure.


    but they are human too.


    in front of their peers, they tend to be much more unrestrained, with laughter, anger, and banter all being the norm.


    "the first fight has begun."


    san ye demigod suddenly pointed at the screen, "let''s pay attention to the battle of seven stars for now."


    "alright."


    "it''s started; it''s a young guy who''s just 20 years old." fang hai and hun demigod stopped talking and focused on the screen.


    just as duanmu mountain lord had said.


    these demigods have come to watch the battle; some are here for favored juniors, while others are indeed looking to choose outstanding disciples.


    however.


    even if they are members of the martial divine hall, if they are not outstanding enough, it would be extremely hard to catch a demigod''s eye.


    ...


    in the martial divine star realm, inside the seven stars battlefield.


    according to the battle sequence, the new recruit ''quiliya'' had already leaped into the battlefield.


    whether it was duanmu mountain lord and his group of flying heaven warriors or li yuan, yu jinghe, and others, all of them were earnestly watching the battle.


    quiliya''s first opponent was a figure encased in black armor, his face was indistinct, wielding a sword and shield, and the aura he emitted was rough and fearsome.


    the two figures stood nearly a kilometer apart, face to face, and then erupted into action simultaneously.

    he charged at the black figure.


    with each step, tens of thousands of pounds of force burst forth, causing the ground to tremble faintly.


    "boom! boom!" the two figures had already engaged in battle, fighting fiercely.


    ...


    "so weak, much weaker than i had anticipated."


    bores voiced his confusion, "this quiliya, his physical quality should only be around the 23rd level, right? how can he fight evenly matched?"


    "bores, you don''t understand." dantai feng glanced at him, "in the battle of seven stars, the difficulty of the first three rounds isn''t fixed; it''s determined according to the contenders'' physical quality. those with higher physical quality face stronger gatekeepers, and the converse for those with lower... it''s also to give the newcomers some confidence."


    "therefore, most newcomers, at the very least, can pass the first round. it''s the third round that''s much harder."


    "from the fourth round onwards, the gatekeepers'' strength becomes completely fixed... only absolute power can break through... from the fourth to the seventh round, the strength of the gatekeepers consistently soars," dantai feng stated seriously.


    continue your adventure at empire


    bores instantly fell silent.


    alicia shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on her face.


    "quiliya is going to win," li yuan suddenly spoke out, and everyone watched intently.


    boom!


    quiliya suddenly struck with his axe, and the black figure, caught off guard, was violently knocked back and sent flying.


    "quiliya, win!" a deep voice echoed over the battlefield.


    "won," quiliya said excitedly, swinging his arm forcefully.


    quickly,


    the second round erupted, and this time the opponent was not humanoid, but a huge lizard-like "black earth dragon."


    it, too, was not a living thing, but its power was much stronger than the black combat armor figure of the first round.


    the first battle, quiliya had won, but with great difficulty.


    in the second round, he lost decisively.


    ...


    time passed.


    one by one, the newcomers entered the battle, with most only winning the first round before losing the second.


    even jin huguo and nevsky fell in the second round.


    only about one-third could win the second round, such as yin man and kross.


    however,


    what truly surprised everyone was alicia. she was the twenty-ninth contender, and initially, the people of blue star didn''t rate her highly.


    after all, she hadn''t made it into the top three of blue star''s virtual battle a few months before, and in terms of age, she was about the same as yin man and nevsky.


    with nevsky losing the second round, how could she fare any better?


    yet in reality, alicia won! and she won the second round relatively easily!


    in the end, she lost to the third round''s gatekeeper.


    "fifth stage intermediate rank?"


    "alicia''s swordsmanship is definitely of the fifth stage intermediate rank level."


    "she has improved so quickly." jin huguo, yin man, and nevsky were all shocked.


    they felt the terror of alicia''s swordsmanship.


    in the virtual battles, alicia had barely made it into the top five and eventually ranked fifth.


    but now, if there was another round, with the level of swordsmanship alicia has now shown, probably even harmon and nevsky couldn''t beat her, and she would definitely be able to challenge the top three.


    "captain, how did i do? i didn''t embarrass you, did i?" alicia said with a smile as she returned to the spectator space.


    "impressive," li yuan responded with a smile, having already noticed her extraordinary talent.


    ...


    "this young lady, not bad."


    "only 21 years old, i''ve looked at her profile, she''s improved rapidly in the last year," many demigods and star masters discussed in the spectator space.


    with their strength, they could easily remember the profiles of hundreds of martial divine hall newcomers.


    from the perspective of a demigod, when they evaluate someone, it''s never just about current strength, but an overall assessment.


    "this alicia, not bad," san ye semi divine suddenly said, "her swordsmanship has likely stepped onto the path of ''ice true intent,'' which fits well with my method."


    "oh? interested in her, are you?" fang hai teased with a chuckle.


    "let''s observe a bit longer," replied san ye semi divine in a gentle voice.


    but fang hai clearly understood the disposition of san ye semi divine; saying so meant that he liked her very much.


    without hesitation, fang hai immediately sent a message to duanmu hong, "duanmu, san ye semi divine is thinking of taking alicia as a disciple. after the battle of seven stars is over, you should talk to alicia."

 Chapter 271 Level 10 Star Technique! The Strongest Burst! (Extra 10)

    in fact, more than one demigod harbored such suspicions, and the others were also confused."it shouldn''t be."


    "it doesn''t resemble a true congealment of true intent. if it were sixth stage true intent, he could fly directly into seven star mountain without even fighting."


    "but the might of this spear technique, even without the outbreak of star technique, even if it''s just an embryo of true intent, shouldn''t be this powerful," many demigods discussed among themselves.


    members of the martial divine hall entering seven star mountain normally do so by winning the battle of seven stars.


    another way is by congealing the true intent of heaven and earth.


    once a technique reaches the sixth stage, one can directly enter seven star mountain.


    the insight of these demigods was exceptionally profound.


    even though they were only watching the battle through a virtual network, unable to sense the fluctuations of the force of heaven and earth, they could see that li yuan''s strength, his speed, were not on par with the gatekeeper''s. yet, he had managed to defeat his opponent by relying on the suddenly surged might of his spear technique.


    it was simply inconceivable.


    you have to understand, the gatekeeper of the sixth barrier was set with a physical quality of level 29.9, and a technique skill level of fifth stage perfection... normally, a top grade origin martial artist with fifth stage high rank technique, employing a star technique, would have a fair chance of winning.


    take bertman, for example, slightly at a physical disadvantage, then overwhelming his opponent by fully unleashing his technique and star technique.


    what about li yuan?


    he clearly didn''t employ any star technique.


    "three possibilities," san ye demigod suddenly said with a smile, "first, li yuan might have employed an extremely inconspicuous star technique, erupting from within, not evident on the surface." sear?h the n??efire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "yes, that''s possible."


    "many star techniques are indeed very covert when they erupt." numerous demigods nodded in agreement.


    "secondly, his weapon might be very strong," san ye demigod said with a smile, "a weapon can indeed greatly increase the might of his attack."


    "a weapon?"


    "it looks very ordinary."


    "prime warriors can at most use third rank weapons; could it possibly be a semi divine artifact?" the many present demigods shook their heads, in their understanding, at least a flying heaven warrior is required to use a semi divine artifact.


    "the last possibility."


    "li yuan has indeed condensed true intent!" san ye demigod said with a smile, "it''s just that he hasn''t fully erupted yet, just like from the very first match, he''s been holding back, and then suddenly unleashed spear technique of fifth stage perfection or even the pinnacle of the fifth stage."


    "i''m more inclined towards this possibility," san ye demigod said, "his spear technique has at least begun to form the embryo of true intent."


    "true intent?"


    "has li yuan really condensed the true intent of heaven and earth?"


    "he''s only 19 years old, right?"


    "no, to be precise, he''s still a month shy of 19."


    "i don''t believe he could condense true intent so quickly." these demigods found it hard to believe san ye demigod''s deduction.


    it was truly unbelievable.


    condensing true intent of heaven and earth at 50, or 60, didn''t make much difference in the eyes of these demigods... as one''s cultivation progressed further, the difference age makes becomes smaller.


    but between 19 and 29, that difference is massive.


    at 19, it indicates insufficient experience, signifies that various aspects have not yet reached their peak, yet condensing true intent of heaven and earth... how terrifying could the future be? it was simply unimaginable.


    "my fellow demigods need not ponder any longer," san ye demigod said with a laugh, "as none of us can take him as an apprentice anyway, let''s just wait for the final battle, and see if li yuan can also ascend the mountain after one battle."


    "that''s true."


    "if he truly has condensed true intent of heaven and earth, it is a great boon for our seven star civilization."


    "it''s a pity, we cannot take apprentices." many demigod star masters spoke, some demigods expressing considerable regret.


    "take an apprentice? his path follows the earth vein, what apprentice can you take!"


    "with such an extraordinary talent, taking him as an apprentice would only do him harm."


    "a little guidance is sufficient; the path of the divine ultimately relies on oneself."


    in the midst of the demigods'' discussions and exchanges, they awaited the explosion of excitement for the seventh match with considerable anticipation.


    can li yuan win?


    ...


    it wasn''t just the demigod star masters who were shocked.


    in the battle of seven stars arena, duanmu mountain master and a group of flying heaven warriors were equally astonished to see li yuan''s explosive moment.


    "how did he do it?" duanmu mountain master asked, somewhat unable to understand.


    that group of star master demigods, because they were watching through the virtual network, could not sense the outburst of the forces of heaven and earth... but duanmu mountain master, being there in person, naturally sensed it very clearly.


    when li yuan executed "stars return to ruin," that thrust bursting forth, indeed the might increased significantly... but it didn''t seem like the eruption of the true intent of heaven and earth.


    moreover.


    in his heart, duanmu mountain master also did not believe that li yuan could have condensed the true intent of heaven and earth so quickly.


    "is it the weapon? or an extremely inconspicuous star technique?" duanmu mountain master secretly speculated, "however, based on the refinement of this single thrust, it is at least the embryo of true intent."


    to reach the embryo of true intent before even 19 years old?


    just the thought alone made duanmu mountain master''s heart tremble, for this was an unprecedented event in the entire history of the seven star civilization.


    even fang hai, reached the top grade origin martial artist status and the limit of the fifth stage of technique only at the age of 20.


    that was the previous historical first.


    li yuan, at least in terms of the speed of technique advancement, has thoroughly surpassed fang hai of the past.


    "the seventh match."


    "i wonder, does li yuan still have hidden strength?" duanmu mountain master felt a bit of anticipation, "if he really can win a battle and ascend... that would truly be a miracle."


    ...


    watching li yuan''s sudden burst of victory in the sixth match, the entire spectator stands were absolutely boiling over.


    "he won."


    "he won the sixth match without using a star technique?"


    "that''s unbelievable."


    "how did he do it?" those hundreds of veteran members were shaken to their core, gazing at li yuan, who stood waiting alone in the arena of the battle of seven stars.


    "this!"


    "he won so easily?" explore more at empire


    "has he condensed true intent?" tavares, an yongya, and a group of top geniuses were equally dumbfounded.


    "haha, i told you, li yuan could definitely win the sixth match," yu jinghe laughed heartily, "pei jun, isn''t what i said correct?"

    yan jing, who had been quite frustrated before, suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly, "what did i tell you, li yuan was sure to win? he won the sixth match so easily, and he hasn''t even unleashed his star technique."


    "once he unleashes his star technique, he''s definitely going to win the seventh match," yan jing''s mood lifted from the previous frustration, and his gaze became firm again.


    "hmph!"


    "the seventh match hasn''t even started, don''t pop the champagne at halftime," the gentle and beautiful girl scoffed, "even if he ultimately wins, is it because your judgment is good? it''s just your luck!"


    "even if he wins, you''re absolutely not allowed to bet again next time," the beautiful girl said sternly.


    "okay, okay, okay," yan jing promptly agreed.


    ...


    "li yuan?" bertman, who had already returned to the spectator''s stand, murmured to himself, never taking his eyes off of li yuan.


    just now, he had been the center of attention.


    now? although li yuan had just won the sixth match, the shock he brought to all the spectators was even greater than bertman winning the seventh match.


    after all, li yuan was much younger than him.


    ...


    "li yuan''s spear technique, really impressive!" dantai feng, alicia, and tian dazhuang were both excited and astonished.


    even alicia had not expected li yuan to burst forth to such an extent.


    "freak!"


    "huge freak! he must have cultivated a very subdued star technique; i even suspect he has cultivated a supreme auxiliary star technique." xiao xing''s voice echoed in alicia''s mind, "in just a few months'' time, he went from fifth stage intermediate rank skills directly to the fifth stage limit, really, i have no idea how he cultivated."


    ...


    soon, the whispers in the spectator''s stand quieted down.


    the entire star realm battlefield fell silent, hushed, as all eyes of the spectators fixated on li yuan in the center of the battlefield.


    because from the other end of the battlefield, a figure in black was emerging, exuding a robust aura, a flying heaven warrior.


    the seventh match was about to erupt.


    at this moment, from the loftiest demigods to the newest members of the martial divine hall, everyone wanted to know.


    could li yuan win the seventh match?


    if accomplished, it would mean that li yuan, not yet 19 years old, would complete the feat of ''conquering the mountain in one battle,'' an unprecedented feat in the history of the seven star civilization.


    "he''s coming?" li yuan watched the man in black slowly approaching from a distance, feeling quite expectant in his heart.


    flying heaven warrior?


    the ordinary boy who had once practiced spearmanship diligently in the martial path classroom,


    could one day truly cross spears with a flying heaven warrior?


    finally, the man in black stopped walking; he held a combat saber and stared gravely at li yuan.


    "li yuan."


    "you should know the rules," the man in black said in a deep voice, "have you condensed the true intent of heaven and earth? if you have, there''s no need to fight this battle."


    "i''ll concede."


    the man in black had watched from a great distance as li yuan won the sixth match.


    whether or not one has condensed true intent signifies a fundamental transformation.


    "i have not," li yuan shook his head.


    if it were just a matter of skill level, his spear technique ''stellar oblivion'' from just before, as opposed to bertman''s final sword technique outburst... wasn''t much stronger, in reality.


    but the black chen spear in his hand was a semi divine artifact.


    once in motion, the "true solution of the earth star vein," as a supportive supreme star technique, it''s enough to cause the power of the heaven and earth i channel to surge... creating that terrifying thrust just before."


    "good, then i won''t hold back, and you be careful," the man in black said softly.


    aside from not unleashing the star technique and not flying, the man in black had decided to go all out.


    because li yuan had indeed made him feel a great threat.


    boom!


    the man in black acted immediately. his speed surpassed the sound barrier in an instant as he lunged towards li yuan.


    the distance between them was about one kilometer.


    "so fast," li yuan''s eyes narrowed, "in no more than two seconds, he will be upon me."


    "if i had only the strength from before, i would be undoubtedly defeated."


    purely in terms of physical quality, li yuan was still far from the prime warrior''s limit, not to mention compared with a flying heaven warrior.


    if he could refine the true intent of heaven and earth, he could compensate for this gap, but with only the rudimentary form of true intent?


    it wasn''t enough!


    many thoughts flashed through li yuan''s mind as he directly activated the fifth layer star veins within his body.


    rushing origin power flooded in.


    buzz~buzz~buzz~countless life stars suddenly lit up layer by layer, triggering a marvelous transformation in li yuan''s muscles and flesh.


    "boom!" li yuan''s figure swelled in an instant, growing from over one meter eighty to around three meters tall, his skin faintly radiating a layer of earthy yellow divine light that dazzled onlookers.


    a terrifying aura of life spread in all directions.


    "this?" before getting close, the man in black, flying mid-air, narrowed his eyes, "body refining star technique? such a strong aura?"


    he sensed that li yuan''s aura had suddenly exploded, as if he had become a gigantic beast.


    "could he have cultivated this star technique to the second order limit? level 6? level 8 star technique?" many thoughts flickered through the man in black''s mind, "isn''t he just 19 years old? how could he have had the time to cultivate such a powerful star technique?"


    the more powerful the star technique, the higher the demands on the star meridians.


    awakening star meridians takes a lot of time... therefore, subconsciously, the man in black believed that li yuan''s star technique was probably only at third layer or fourth layer star vein.


    "what robust power!"


    "the second order limit of the ''stellar mysterious body'' is level 10 star technique; the boost to my strength is too significant." even though it wasn''t the first time li yuan had tested this, he was still somewhat excited when he erupted with full strength.


    the powerful body refining divine technique granted him a frightening amount of strength and speed!


    while it seems slow to describe, both the man in black''s attack and li yuan''s explosive unleashing of his star technique happened in the blink of an eye.


    "whosh!"


    though shocked, the man in black didn''t retreat an inch. origin power converged on the blade''s edge, and a dazzling saber light had already torn through the vast sky, slashing at li yuan.


    "kill!" li yuan''s muscular hand gripped the long spear tightly. the black chen spear had already reached five meters in length, moved by intent, and the combined force of vigor and origin power erupted with terrifying power.


    level 10 star technique, a body refining divine technique, provided a monstrous increase to physical strength, catapulting li yuan''s power beyond the level of a prime warrior and up to the threshold of a flying heaven warrior.


    he thrust out with his spear!


    the tip of the spear harnessed the vast power of heaven and earth, executing the move "stars return to ruin."


    this was li yuan''s most potent outburst.


    boom!


    it was as if a fallen star had collided massively, a visible shockwave of energy rushing outwards.


    the ground trembled fiercely where li yuan stood. within a radius of more than ten meters, it collapsed layer upon layer. li yuan himself fell half a meter deep, yet from beginning to end, he hadn''t retreated a single step.


    pop!


    the man in black was sent flying backward, tumbling over a hundred meters before landing and taking a dozen more steps to finally come to a halt.


    "ah~ poof!" the flying heaven warrior could no longer withstand it, and a mouthful of fresh blood was violently spewed out.


    in that moment, from demigod to the many members of the martial divine hall, all were shocked at this scene.


    a direct confrontation, with just one exchange, and the gatekeeper was injured?


    this indicated a staggering difference in strength in their head-on fight.


    "i concede."


    the flying heaven warrior smiled wryly, "if i don''t use a star technique, even with my ability to fly, i likely can''t prevail over you."


    "thank you, senior," li yuan bowed in respect, his body quickly shrinking back to normal, deactivating the star technique.


    the consumption of origin power was exceptional when executing a second order limit body refining star technique.


    "the seventh battle, li yuan wins."


    a resounding voice echoed throughout the seven star battlefield, "congratulations to li yuan for ascending in a single battle, becoming a member of the seven star mountain."


    "at the same time breaking the record of seven star mountain, becoming its youngest ever member."

 Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher

    "the youngest record?" li yuan mused to himself, having not paid much attention to this particular record before.within the vast seven stars battlefield.


    "this year''s ''the battle of seven stars'' newcomers'' performances were outstanding," the sonorous voice continued, "especially bertman and li yuan, who both accomplished the feat of climbing in one step, a first in the history of the newcomers'' battles. li yuan has even broken the record... i hope that all members of the martial divine hall will learn from them."


    "alright, this year''s battle of seven stars is now over!"


    "i hope everyone will cultivate diligently in the coming year and live up to expectations."


    rumble~


    not far from the spectator seats, a grand door slowly opened. many members of the martial divine hall, quite excitedly discussing among themselves, began making their way out of the seven stars battlefield.


    however, li yuan was the main subject of their discussions, with hardly anyone talking about bertman.


    after all, although bertman''s ''one-step climb'' was also dazzling, compared to his age of 26, there were many in the history of the seven star civilization who could match him.


    to say nothing of the fact that lude nef was even younger when he became a member of the seven star mountain.


    and for unparalleled geniuses like yu jinghe and tavares, while amazed, they didn''t think themselves any less capable than bertman.


    li yuan was really different, the first in the true history of the entire civilization.


    19 years old!!


    and everyone could see that li yuan''s victory in the seventh battle was overwhelmingly dominant; his strength was far above bertman''s. how could the two even compare?


    whoosh!


    li yuan waved his hand, drawing the black chen spear into his storage treasure, ready to return to the spectator seats.


    "li yuan, don''t go back just yet, stay outside the seven stars battlefield for a while," a gentle voice suddenly sounded in li yuan''s mind.


    li yuan couldn''t help but look towards the chairman''s stand, recognizing the voice of duanmu mountain master.


    duanmu hong, dressed in white, slightly nodded to signal him.


    li yuan contemplated, "it must be about joining the members of seven star mountain."


    immediately, li yuan leaped out hundreds of meters, clearing the ten-meter-high spectator wall, and returned to the spectator seats.


    dantai feng, alicia, and the others were all waiting there.


    "li yuan, that last spear throw was so cool," dantai feng''s eyes shone, "winning seven battles in a row! at first, we were worried you couldn''t win six, but you hid your strength so deeply... and in the end, you even deployed a star technique, blowing away a flying heaven warrior with one spear thrust."


    dantai feng''s expression was quite exaggerated, eliciting laughter from everyone around.


    "li yuan, i''m afraid you''ll soon truly rival a flying heaven warrior," bores, with his head of golden hair, shook his head with a wry smile, "it was reckless of me."


    suddenly, he looked towards alicia, "alicia, i apologize for disturbing you before, i shouldn''t have sent you so many messages."


    "no worries, i blocked messages a long time ago," alicia said indifferently.


    at this, the bystanders could no longer hold back their laughter, and li yuan also shook his head with a chuckle.


    but bores didn''t mind, as he''s always been one to take things in stride. continue reading on empire


    he knew that li yuan, so young and already scaling seven star mountain, had a great chance of becoming a demigod. competing with him for alicia? there was no hope at all.


    moreover,


    bores wasn''t single-mindedly fond of alicia; he simply felt she was suitable for him... in the half-month since entering the martial divine star realm, he had already set his sights on many female members of the martial divine hall.


    he wasn''t necessarily fixated on winning over alicia.


    ..."li yuan, congratulations."


    "li yuan, welcome to join us," several voices rang out in succession. a group of people was walking down from their high seats in the spectator stands, approaching li yuan, each wearing a smile.


    "big brother yu, tavares, an yongya," li yuan greeted with a smile as he recognized the three.


    though he only recognized these three.


    but the others who were able to stand alongside them must surely be the top-tier geniuses of seven star mountain.


    "li yuan, let me introduce you to everyone, this is..." yu jinghe began to introduce his companions.


    the top-tier geniuses greeted li yuan with a smile, all very polite.


    li yuan responded in kind, carefully noting each person''s appearance and name.


    this scene made jin huguo, yin man, nevsky, and the others sigh inwardly.


    back on blue star, they were the proud children of heaven, the center of attention.


    after entering the martial divine hall, every person here was a genius. even dantai feng, with his high talent, was hardly remarkable... perhaps they would become strong in the future, but li yuan was already the center of attention. s~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lfire .net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    all were geniuses, indeed, but what if the top geniuses of an entire civilization were to gather?


    ...this scene made many of the older martial divine hall members feel deeply moved: "they are the top super-geniuses of seven star mountain, all ranking within the top thirty, each one having comprehended true intent. they are usually very proud, yet they are so polite to li yuan."


    "it''s different, most members of seven star mountain, even if they have condensed true intent, find it hard to catch up with them in strength, li yuan''s strength is weaker than theirs for now, but how old is he? to catch up and even surpass them in the future is practically a certainty."


    "look at bertman, although he also climbed in one battle, yu jinghe and the others wouldn''t go and greet him actively."


    many seasoned members of the martial divine hall were well aware that even among the members of seven star mountain, there were different levels.


    those who haven''t comprehended true intent and those who have truly condensed true intent are worlds apart.


    only with condensed true intent does one earn the credentials to enter the topmost circle of seven star mountain.


    and now, the top-tier geniuses of this circle were already extending an early invitation to li yuan.


    "li yuan?" standing some distance away, bertman frowned slightly as he watched the scene unfold.


    ...minutes later, outside the seven stars battlefield.


    "alright."

 Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_2

    ```"li yuan, it''s a deal. the day after tomorrow, once all your matters concerning joining seven star mountain are settled, come to my palace residence," yu jinghe said to li yuan with a smile. "i''ll host the feast and invite everyone to participate, as a celebration for you joining seven star mountain."


    "then i thank you, big brother yu," li yuan replied with a nod and a smile.


    perhaps in the future, i might become a demigod or even a divine!


    however, a stout man needs three helpers; at the very least, for the current stage, making these good friends is beneficial.


    whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!


    yu jinghe, tavares, an yongya, and more than ten others no longer lingered, transforming into streaks of light as they flew away into the sky.


    they had come to watch the battle at yu jinghe''s invitation, specifically to observe li yuan.


    li yuan''s astonishing performance did not disappoint them; in fact, it could even be said to have amazed them.


    "flying!" discover exclusive content at empire


    "free as the wind and fleeting as the earth, truly exhilarating. it''s just a pity that we have to become flying heaven warriors to fly." this scene evoked envious glances from many members of the martial divine hall who had not yet boarded the flying machine.


    only the very top-tier genius prime warriors were marked by their ability to move through the sky and earth.


    ...


    turning around, li yuan made arrangements to send dantai feng, alicia, and the others off on the flying machine and arranged to meet the next day.


    at this time.


    outside the massive metal construction, all had quieted down; the hundreds of martial divine hall members who had come to watch the battle had all departed... with the observation ended, they needed to resume their own cultivation.


    especially li yuan''s performance, which greatly inspired many of them.


    "li yuan." a somewhat stiff voice spoke up as bertman, dressed in a blue robe, approached.


    "bertman, congratulations," li yuan said, revealing a slight smile. it was clear that bertman had also been left behind via a voice transmission. s§×ar?h the novel(f~)ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "don''t congratulate me." a strained smile appeared on bertman''s face. "i barely managed to defeat that flying heaven warrior. compared to you, i''m far behind, and i''m already 26."


    "i watched your battle; your sword technique must be close to gathering true intent," li yuan said with a smile. "being able to gather true intent before turning 30 is already very impressive. you might even gather the true intent of heaven and earth before me."


    purely in terms of skill, the two were quite similar at the moment.


    "i should just need another one or two years of concealed cultivation," bertman said with a hint of a smile.


    bertman was quite confident in his sword technique.


    the two chatted.


    gradually, li yuan realized that, while bertman seemed aloof, he was actually not very articulate and seemed a bit introverted.


    however, since it was their first meeting, li yuan did not dare to determine whether the other party was pretending.


    you can know a person''s face but not their heart.


    to truly understand a person''s heart, it wasn''t words that counted, but repeated direct cooperation.


    a few minutes later.


    whoosh! a white streak of light flew out from the seven stars battlefield and landed directly in front of the two men.


    "mountain lord."


    "mountain lord," li yuan and bertman greeted with respect as duanmu hong arrived.


    "you both performed very well," duanmu hong said with a smile. "once you''ve climbed the mountain, the logistics department will immediately prepare your palace halls on seven star mountain. within half a day at most, you''ll receive authorization... and then you''ll be able to move in."


    "yes," li yuan and bertman nodded in agreement.


    having been in the martial divine star realm for half a month, they both understood very well that, apart from members of seven star mountain... other members of the martial divine hall were not allowed to climb the mountain except under special circumstances.


    some unauthorized flying machines, if they approached, risked being directly destroyed by some of the terrifying weapons hidden within seven star mountain.


    "members of seven star mountain, compared to elite and regular members, actually have four other benefits," said duanmu mountain master, looking at the two. "first is the annual increase in seven stars points."


    "second is the increase in privileges; you''ll have the qualifications to browse and learn for free from most of the star techniques and secret manuals of the entire civilization."


    "third, you''re eligible to take on flying heaven level missions," said duanmu mountain master.


    flying heaven level missions? li yuan and bertman both pondered this.


    "whether it''s for the resources required to cultivate powerful star techniques or for the exchange of formidable weapons and treasures, you''ll need a large amount of seven stars points," said duanmu mountain master. "but the seven stars points distributed for free are limited... the alliance has vast interests in various second level star realms and third level star realms and often needs powerful prime warriors to join in battle."


    "flying heaven level missions offer extremely high rewards, but also come with a high risk... and only seven star mountain members can accept them," continued the mountain lord.


    the two immediately understood.


    if they were not members of seven star mountain, it meant they didn''t have the required strength... thus, they would be ineligible to accept some of the alliance''s highly rewarding missions.


    "the last benefit is guidance from a demigod," said duanmu mountain master. "the alliance will dispatch a demigod or some extremely powerful flying heaven star lord... to provide guidance on your cultivation for two years."


    both li yuan and bertman''s eyes brightened.


    so, members of seven star mountain still had such a privilege.


    "this does not constitute an apprenticeship but is mere guidance. do either of you have any requests? if not, the alliance will arrange a demigod based on your weapon and true intent law tendencies," said the mountain lord.


    the two fell into thought, and duanmu mountain master did not urge them.


    after a long while.


    "mountain lord, i have no objections," bertman shook his head. "i just need a water system demigod to guide me."


    "and you, li yuan?" the mountain lord turned to li yuan. "shall the alliance randomly arrange an earth system demigod for you?"


    "no."


    li yuan hesitated slightly, saying, "i hope the alliance can arrange for a wind system demigod to guide my cultivation."


    "a wind system demigod?" duanmu mountain master frowned.


    having a demigod personally guide someone was an incredibly rare opportunity. yet, rather than focusing on a single path...


    he actually wanted a wind system demigod for guidance?


    even bertman looked towards li yuan in surprise; he had just witnessed li yuan''s battle... the man was clearly of the earth vein.

 Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_3

    "do you not realize..." duanmu mountain master was just about to rebuke when he suddenly recalled fang hai''s parting words and forcefully stopped himself."are you certain?" duanmu mountain master''s tone shifted abruptly.


    he looked at li yuan, "although your talent is high, you have yet to truly condense your true intent... are you considering diverting your attention to the wind vein at this point? and you haven''t truly entered the threshold of the wind vein yet, have you?"


    "not yet."


    "but the junior wants to try." li yuan responded earnestly, of course, he could deduce the intention behind duanmu mountain master''s words.


    the law of the great dao is extremely challenging.


    even for flying heaven warriors, condensing true intent is difficult; let alone truly stepping into the threshold of the law... focusing solely on one path might still not guarantee becoming a demigod.


    the hope of becoming a demigod becomes even more distant once distracted.


    however, li yuan had his own considerations; he had once resonated with divine consciousness and was very clear about how terrifyingly powerful the combination of different laws'' mysteries could be... and these past few days, he had also been practicing with his spear, attempting to trigger the wind fluctuations.


    the wind fluctuations of heaven and earth! although li yuan''s comprehension was slow, it still brought him considerable joy.


    li yuan liked this path very much.


    the most important point, in li yuan''s view, was that with the "true solution of the earth star vein" and the "map of myriad stars" as a guide¡ª even if another earth system semi divine were to provide guidance, his cultivation efficiency might not improve by much.


    however.


    if a wind system semi divine were to provide targeted guidance for his cultivation of the wind vein, the significance would be completely different.


    although duanmu mountain master was displeased inwardly, seeing li yuan''s firm stance, he refrained from further persuasion, "fine, i will submit your request... but there are not many wind system semi divines in the alliance, and there may not be anyone willing to mentor you. you should prepare yourself mentally."


    "after all, the alliance can''t force a semi divine to provide guidance."


    "the semi divines themselves also choose whom they want to guide among the seven star mountain members," duanmu mountain master added.


    "the junior understands." li yuan nodded.


    good teachers prefer intelligent students... and since he had yet to reveal his talent in the wind vein, those wind system semi divines might not be willing to waste time on him.


    "alright, you can go back now and wait for the notification," duanmu mountain master instructed.


    ...


    he watched as li yuan and bertman left on their respective flying machines.


    "the wind vein?" duanmu mountain master frowned. "this li yuan is truly acting recklessly. no matter how exceptional he may be, he should not waste his talent like this."


    "let those above worry about it."


    duanmu mountain master immediately began to send a transmission.


    ...


    in the special spectator space of the virtual network, many of the watching semi divines were gradually leaving.


    li yuan''s performance had indeed caused them to marvel, but nothing more than that.


    as the pinnacle existences within their civilization, semi divines are also extremely proud beings.


    from prime warrior to flying heaven warrior, to semi divine... li yuan has a long way to go to reach their level.


    yet fang hai, the san ye semi divine, was still waiting here, seemingly awaiting news.


    suddenly.


    "there''s news," the san ye semi divine spoke up, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes, "li yuan is seeking guidance from a wind system semi divine."


    "a wind system semi divine?" fang hai was equally astonished.


    "this young fellow is somewhat capricious." san ye semi divine shook her head, "although some flying heaven warriors and semi divines venture to explore a second path, most only choose to do so when they cannot progress any further on their primary path due to reaching a bottleneck... he''s already started to condense the embryo of his stellar true intent on the earth vein, so how high is his talent there? and yet he wishes to be distracted by comprehending the wind vein?"


    "as his principal, shouldn''t you persuade him?" san ye semi divine looked towards fang hai.


    fang hai also furrowed his brows; he didn''t understand li yuan''s decision either.


    however.


    fang hai and san ye semi divine, as well as duanmu hong, had different understandings... he was well aware of how terrifying li yuan''s star meridian talent was.


    knowing different pieces of information naturally led to seeing things differently.


    "no need," fang hai shook his head, "but don''t rush to invite those wind system semi divines... those few will certainly not be willing to guide him."


    fang hai knew very well. s§×arch* the novel?ire(.)ne*t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    semi divines are proud.


    they might recognize li yuan''s talent in the earth vein, but that doesn''t mean they acknowledge his talent in the wind vein.


    "first, report to the master," fang hai said gravely, "and see what the master thinks."


    "report such a trivial matter to the alliance hierarch?" san ye semi divine was surprised. stay tuned to empire


    "as long as it concerns li yuan, you report it," fang hai shook his head, "the master will definitely not blame you."


    "alright." san ye semi divine frowned, suddenly recalling the command issued by dongfang ji last time.


    combining that with what fang hai just said.


    san ye semi divine realized... there might be significant secrets about li yuan that she was unaware of.


    "i''ll be going now." san ye semi divine stood up, and her figure thunderously vanished.


    the immense battle observation hall.


    only fang hai remained seated alone.


    "san ye teacher," fang hai sighed inwardly.


    once upon a time, he too had climbed the seven star mountain and received guidance from a semi divine.


    and the semi divine who guided him was none other than san ye semi divine.


    "just wait,"


    "san ye teacher," fang hai showed a hint of a smile, "you reject me now, feeling that we differ in generations and there is still a gap in strength... but once i become a demigod, surely no one will question it anymore."


    a demigod boasts a lifespan of a thousand years, with everlasting youth.


    as fang hai knew, among the many foreign civilizations, semi divines not only pair up despite an age gap of less than a hundred years but even couples with two hundred, three hundred years difference... are not uncommon.


    ...


    within the highest headquarters of starfire martial hall, in a conference room.


    a woman in white, wearing a black mask, stepped out of the highest-level virtual pod.


    through the mask, only her eyes could be seen, cold as ice.


    "hmm?" san ye semi divine suddenly looked down at her smart ring, a flash of shock passing through her eyes, which displayed a single message: "i''ll take care of it."

 Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_4

    "alliance hierarch, have you already responded to me so quickly, and you agreed?" san ye semi divine''s heart stirred with towering waves.just now, she reported to dongfang ji at the first opportunity, her heart still quite uneasy.


    according to san ye semi divine''s understanding,


    this kind of thing, dongfang ji would almost certainly not agree... but she could have never imagined!


    "li yuan, does he really hold such weight in the heart of the alliance hierarch?" san ye semi divine secretly marveled, "what exactly makes him so special?"


    is it simply because of his high martial arts talent?


    it doesn''t seem like it!


    martial arts talent alone, if high now, doesn''t ensure one can smoothly become a semi divine or reach even higher levels... the path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties, and countless peerless talents are trapped at bottlenecks.


    "but the alliance hierarch actually supports li yuan''s decision?" san ye semi divine mused to herself.


    she was very clear about the alliance hierarch''s terrifying strength, which was absolutely beyond all semi divines.


    even the second-strongest of the seven star civilization, ''lant semi divine'', was far behind the alliance hierarch, and the gap was growing larger and larger.


    san ye semi divine could not forget.


    decades ago, that large group of semi divines from myriad demons civilization trying to invade feixing... after that battle, myriad demons civilization fell completely silent, never stirring up a large-scale war again.


    it was not that myriad demons civilization had given up.


    it was that they were cowed by the killing, creating more and more semi divines, as if they weren''t enough for dongfang ji''s slaughter.


    thus was forged the name of an invincible semi divine.


    "it seems,"


    "from now on, i must be more cautious in dealing with li yuan," san ye semi divine sighed silently.


    ...


    on the afternoon of the day that the battle of seven stars ended, li yuan had already received a notice to move into seven star mountain.


    he relocated directly.


    the villas on seven star mountain, while not fundamentally different from those on the ground, were more immense... and they came with more advanced sparring robots, as well as a richer array of free resources.


    the next day,


    li yuan hosted a banquet for dantai feng, alicia, and a number of other friends, as a celebration of his ascent to seven star mountain... there were dedicated dining venues within the martial divine star realm, offering exquisite dishes, all of the highest quality.


    however, the prices were also staggeringly high, a single meal costing tens of millions of blue star coins being quite normal, but it was not much for members of the martial divine hall.


    on the third day, li yuan attended a larger banquet hosted by yu jinghe.


    it also let li yuan meet many more top talents of seven star mountain, truly integrating him into this circle.


    ...


    time passed, and after two banquets, li yuan truly began his cultivation journey on seven star mountain.


    in reality, it was no different from his concealed cultivation on the ground.


    no matter how good the external environment, the process of cultivation is the same... one must strive step by step.


    and the advancement of skills, that required endless self-reflection and effort.


    however,


    duanmu mountain master had not yet notified him of the ''semi divine master'', and li yuan was not in a rush.

    ...


    july 25th.


    feixing, prajna sea.


    this was an extremely mysterious region of feixing, vast and expansive, but with perpetual gale-force winds of up to category twelve, the natural environment was tremendously harsh, thus almost no one set foot there.


    in the deep sea, where the gales howled, there lay an island just a few kilometers in circumference, craggy with rocks, bereft of virtually any vegetation.


    at the peak of this small island,


    a figure dressed in simple hemp clothes sat cross-legged on a giant stone, facing the howling wind and crashing waves, eyes shut. his facial features were cut sharp and clear, as if he were a special kind of sculpture, perfectly merging with the natural world.


    suddenly.


    "lie feng," a deep voice seemed to come from the void, imbued with a powerful will.


    "hmm?" the middle-aged man in hemp clothes slowly opened his eyes, first in confusion, "dongfang?"


    "you, have you already condensed the will of the law?" the man in hemp clothes showed a flash of shock in his eyes.

 Chapter 273 The Oldest Demigod

    "law will? is achieving this step very difficult?" a deep voice echoed amid the howling winds and raging waves.the burlap-clad middle-aged man was at a loss for words.


    but when he thought of the other party''s terrifying battle record, he came to terms with it.


    for other demigods, reaching this step is indeed difficult, almost impossible in some sense.


    but the other party is dongfang ji, then anything is possible. s§×arch* the n?velfire.n§×t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "given your personality, to reveal a bit and hide three, if you dare to openly converge law will in front of me, i can no longer gauge your true strength," the burlap-clad middle-aged man said with a slight shake of his head, "if one day you suddenly appear in front of me, already having formed a divine shadow, i wouldn''t be surprised."


    "to become a divine being has no meaning for me," the deep voice said indifferently.


    "indeed," the burlap-clad middle-aged man nodded lightly, "with your peerless talent, your ultimate goal must be to break through the ninth mountain world. among the many demigods i know of in various civilizations, if anyone has hope, it''s probably only you."


    "speak, dongfang, you haven''t sought me out in decades, what brings you here?" the burlap-clad middle-aged man said slowly.


    "help me guide a junior," the deep voice said, "a prime warrior."


    "prime warrior?" the burlap-clad middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then nodded, "no problem. how far has he comprehended the wind vein? has he formed any semblance of true intent?"


    "no!"


    "he hasn''t truly started yet," the deep voice said indifferently.


    the burlap-clad middle-aged man was taken aback.


    soon, the deep voice had outlined the general situation of li yuan to the burlap-clad middle-aged man.


    "19 years old, and already has a semblance of true intent?" the burlap-clad middle-aged man''s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "this young lad''s talent in the earth vein is absolutely extremely high. with your help, perhaps in a few decades, the seven star civilization will once again give birth to a powerful demigod... why would you think of letting him comprehend the wind vein?"


    "he has the talent for it," the deep voice said slowly, "and with enough time, naturally, he should be allowed to attempt it."


    the burlap-clad middle-aged man shook his head; he couldn''t comprehend the other''s reasoning.


    suddenly.


    "earth, wind." an idea flashed across the burlap-clad middle-aged man''s mind as if realizing something, he couldn''t help but say, "you want him to take that path?"


    "what path?" the deep voice was very calm.


    "dongfang, there''s no need to play dumb with me, i''ve also entered that domain," the burlap-clad middle-aged man said, shaking his head, "your ambition is too great, even now you wish for this junior... if he takes a wrong step, his future could be completely destroyed."


    "success comes with failure, hope comes with destruction," the deep voice said indifferently, "without sacrifice, how can there be great achievement?"


    the burlap-clad middle-aged man said no more.


    "i owe you my life, which i cling to this day, so teaching him is not a problem," the burlap-clad middle-aged man said softly, "but i only promise to teach for half a year. if his talent in the wind vein is too poor... it''s not worth my time to waste."


    "if his talent is decent, i will do my best to teach him," the burlap-clad middle-aged man said.


    "good."


    "i still trust the character of lie feng," the deep voice said, "will you go to see him, or shall i have him come to you?"


    "i shall go see him," the burlap-clad middle-aged man said.


    "fine."


    hum~


    the terrifying will that had enveloped the sea area had suddenly dissipated, leaving only the burlap-clad middle-aged man sitting alone.


    "law will?"


    "to become a demigod in just over a hundred years and to have reached this step," the burlap-clad middle-aged man sighed internally, recalling when they first met.


    at that time, the strength of both parties was not much different, or it could be said that the burlap-clad middle-aged man was slightly stronger.


    but to this day, their realms are worlds apart.


    "li yuan?"


    "i hope his talent isn''t too weak, teaching him for a while would be enough to fulfill a promise to dongfang."


    "if his talent is too weak, just make do for half a year," the burlap-clad middle-aged man didn''t really care about li yuan.


    people''s talents tend to be limited, in his view, li yuan''s talent in the earth vein is already extremely high. the talent for the wind vein? inevitably, it won''t be as high.


    if it were any other wind system semi divine, out of friendliness and investment in the future, perhaps someone would be willing to teach.


    but the burlap-clad middle-aged man did not care about these things because he was close to death.


    what would a dying man, with no younger generations to care for, bother about these things for?


    ...


    martial divine star realm.


    the clouds and mist around seven star mountain were swirling.


    on the mountainside of one of the peaks, in the open square in front of a villa mansion, a flying machine hovered.


    dressed in black, li yuan was sitting quietly at the very front of the square, with thousands of meters of void not far from him.


    li yuan, facing the breeze, overlooked the vast expanse beneath him.


    "the earth vein seems to be lively," li yuan''s powerful spiritual power could vaguely sense that in every palace on the peaks, there were inhabitants.


    the entire seven star mountain is divided into seven peaks.


    not by the ownership of the seven great planets... but rather by attribute.


    metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder... distributed according to the cultivation of the seven veins, these are the seven main types of origin power most commonly seen in the world.


    this arrangement is mainly to facilitate the exchange among members of the seven star mountain who cultivate the same vein and also makes teaching easier.


    but since entering seven star mountain, li yuan quickly found that the members of the seven star mountain on the seven peaks who contemplate the wind and thunder veins are very few.


    single digits.


    "the rumors from before are indeed true; most of the strong in my seven star civilization contemplate the five elements," he thought.


    "so far, the seven star civilization has created seven high-rank cultivation methods; two for cultivating earth origin power, two for water origin power, and one each for fire, metal, and wood origin power," li yuan mused, "there aren''t specific cultivation techniques for the wind and thunder veins."


    which is to say.


    in the seven star civilization, those warriors belonging to these two veins... almost all rely on their own law creation to become flying heaven warriors, demigods, hence their number is naturally much fewer.


    li yuan believed that many people''s talents within the civilization were buried.


    of course, there''s a very small number of powerful warriors who, although initially cultivated origin power of the five elements... gradually feel during long-term cultivation that they are more suited to contemplate the mysteries of wind and thunder, and would then shift their direction of cultivation.


    but such strong men are rare; most warriors would still try to comprehend the true intent mysteries corresponding to the attribute of the origin power they''ve cultivated.


    after all, if the origin power cultivated falls within a certain vein, the compatibility with that vein tends to also be higher.


    "according to duanmu mountain master''s implication,"


    "in the entire civilization, there seem to be only two or three wind system demigods," li yuan thought, "they might not necessarily be willing to guide me... i''ll leave it to fate."


    "i made a connection through consciousness resonance with the divine, and by following the divine spear technique''s guidance, i was able to cultivate the wind vein as well."


    "try it out for a while first."


    "if there''s still not much of a clue, then put it aside for the time being." li yuan was not in a hurry.


    since inheriting from the ancient torch divine in the hall of inheritance, his cultivation pursued the path of following his heart''s desires.


    the vast and profound weight of the earth, its inclusiveness of all things, brought him joy.


    the unpredictable agility of the wind brought him joy as well.


    "what brings joy to my heart and strengthens the prowess of my spear technique is the path i should follow." li yuan adhered to this principle in his heart.


    just like these past days, he was not keen on spending much time in the martial arts room but preferred the outdoors instead.


    sitting at the edge of the square, he faced the roaring wind.


    often, he would sit there for most of the day.


    "no wonder dean hai enjoys fishing." a smile appeared on li yuan''s face as he recalled his conversation with dean hai.


    dean hai had said that fishing was a form of cultivation and that one would naturally understand and realize its essence once they reached that level.


    back then, li yuan did not understand.


    but now? li yuan understood.


    "all the mysteries of heaven and earth are hidden in life, hidden between heaven and earth," li yuan thought silently. "comprehending the mysteries of nature from its operations... far surpasses pondering in seclusion."


    ordinary martial artists, they immerse themselves in arduous practice, because their realm is still at the level of ''technique''."


    but once they stepped into the fifth stage, body and mind, from the inside out, are close to the way of ''path''."


    the embryonic form of true intent is the threshold to entering the path.


    suddenly.


    "hmm? group message?" li yuan felt his smart wristband vibrate and couldn''t help but look down.


    it was a ''v group'' message from the members of the seven star mountain.


    "flying heaven level task: mingxu star realm''s recruitment, the specifics are..."


    li yuan quickly glanced at it. it was a war task from the mingxu star realm, where the seven star civilization was at war with the tianliang civilization, needing flying heaven-level warriors to provide support, divided into defense tasks and attack tasks.


    requirements: members of the seven star mountain can accept defense tasks, but only the top thirty members of the seven star mountain may accept attack tasks.


    "top 30? does this mean that only those who have comprehended the true intent are qualified to take up the task?" li yuan thought to himself.


    on the entire seven star mountain, there were about thirty top geniuses who had condensed true intent.


    subconsciously, li yuan glanced at his own ranking on the seven star mountain: 118th.


    second to last. enjoy exclusive adventures from empire


    only one spot higher than bertman.


    the seven star mountain ranking was sorted based on true strength and points earned from completed tasks.


    "hmm?"


    li yuan''s eyes flickered slightly as he saw a private message sent to him by yu jinghe. he thought to himself, "big brother yu has taken up this attack task and is preparing to return to xia country?"


    "stay safe," li yuan replied.


    li yuan had his own conjectures.


    the war between the mingxu star realm and the tianliang clan was mainly driven by blue star, or to be more precise, by xia country.


    now, the posting of this war task on the seven star mountain hopes to bring participation from the top geniuses of the entire civilization for assistance.


    most likely, they were encountering significant difficulties.


    many war tasks, unless like in the case of the fierce feather star realm''s world within worlds that involves a divine being inheritance... the alliance''s highest echelons would not mandate top geniuses under their command to participate in war.


    these life-and-death tasks are mostly left to the geniuses to choose for themselves.


    but the fact that yu jinghe decided so quickly to go must mean that xia country had made a request... just like in the many great battles of the rob sea, yu jinghe''s figure was present.


    "my xia country has many geniuses in the martial divine star realm," li yuan thought to himself. "but there are only two who have comprehended true intent."


    one was yu jinghe!


    the other was named ''luo chan'', whom li yuan had never met.


    as for top geniuses like pei jun who had xia country bloodlines, there were also some on the seven star mountain, but they were born on feixing and had very little sense of belonging to xia country.


    "once i comprehend true intent and elevate my physical quality to the limit of a prime warrior, if there is a suitable opportunity, i can also take part in the battle," li yuan thought to himself.


    straight away, li yuan stopped dwelling on it.


    with his current strength, he wasn''t yet qualified to take part in such large-scale wars.


    to rush into it carelessly would make it easy to die in battle.


    ...


    time passed.


    as night slowly set in, li yuan was still sitting in the square, letting the wind blow over him, silently sensing the fluctuations of the wind between heaven and earth.


    suddenly¡ª


    a figure in white approached silently, and when it was within a hundred meters, li yuan immediately sensed the presence and opened his eyes.


    an invisible pressure enveloped heaven and earth.


    "mountain lord." li yuan bowed respectfully as the visitor was none other than the duanmu mountain master.


    whoosh!


    duanmu mountain master approached, smiling. "you have such a keen perception. your spiritual power must be approaching the peak of flying heaven level."


    "there is still much lacking, i''m nowhere near the mountain lord," li yuan replied with great respect.


    these past days, li yuan had come to understand duanmu mountain master''s strength. perhaps he was not like dean fang hai, but within the whole seven star civilization, he was also amongst the most elite right below the demigods.


    otherwise, he would not have been assigned to guard the martial divine star realm.


    "don''t be modest," duanmu mountain master said with a smile. "i have come to notify you that your wind system semi divine teacher has arrived. he is currently waiting for you outside the martial divine star realm."


    "oh?" li yuan''s eyes brightened, and he couldn''t help asking, "mountain lord, which semi divine is it? the snow dragon semi divine? or the wind fox semi divine?"


    these were the two wind system semi divines li yuan knew of.


    "neither."


    "it is an alien race semi divine," duanmu mountain master shook his head. "to be precise, he''s one of the ''honorary semi divines'' of our seven star civilization."


    "he is also one of the oldest semi divines living within our seven star civilization, not far from his end."

 Chapter 274 Lie Feng Preaches (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    "a guest demigod? an alien race demigod?" li yuan was stunned.there''s such a thing within the seven star civilization?


    "mountain lord, why didn''t i find any information about this in the database?" li yuan couldn''t help asking, "there''s not a single piece of news."


    "don''t be surprised."


    "when it involves demigods, much of the information is secret. once you become a star master, you''ll naturally come to know the many secrets of our entire civilization," duanmu mountain master said with a smile. "there''s more than one alien race guest demigod in our seven star civilization, but this lie feng semi divine is the oldest... in fact, i had only heard about him from other demigods before and have never seen him. it''s all very mysterious."


    "more than one guest demigod? do they all live on feixing?" li yuan was shocked in his heart.


    "yes," duanmu mountain master nodded.


    "aren''t you afraid something will go wrong?" li yuan was confused, for in his understanding, demigods were already at the pinnacle of force in the entire civilization.


    keeping these aliens within the clan, how dangerous is that?


    "don''t worry, with the alliance hierarch around, they can''t turn the heavens upside down," duanmu mountain master said with a laugh. "moreover, these guest demigods... either are demigods born in the star realm or are those who fled here after their entire civilization was destroyed. they generally don''t have conflicts of interest with our civilization."


    li yuan pondered.


    without the entanglement of a race or civilization, potential conflicts would indeed be much smaller.


    "let''s talk while we walk," duanmu mountain master waved his hand, and an invisible force enveloped li yuan.


    whoosh! whoosh!


    the two soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards the higher atmosphere of the martial divine star realm.


    ...


    "mountain lord, there won''t be any danger, will there?" li yuan was still quite wary of the alien race demigods.


    "rest assured."


    duanmu mountain master glanced at li yuan, noticing his concern: "normally, this lie feng semi divine wouldn''t come to instruct you. his strength is terrifying... it was the alliance hierarch who invited him."


    "the alliance hierarch?" li yuan was secretly alarmed, the senior dongfang ji?


    his worries dissipated somewhat, as he still had quite a bit of trust in dongfang ji.


    even though the two had not yet met.


    ...


    after flying for a long time, duanmu mountain master carried li yuan across more than two hundred kilometers in the high sky, having passed many peripheral structures like the battle of seven stars.


    finally, they arrived at a high mountain that rose from the wilderness, reaching over a kilometer in height.


    the mountainside was lush and verdant with trees undulating in waves.


    at the peak of the mountain was a giant plateau, as if cleaved by a combat saber, unobstructed, with many aircraft parked on it.


    large buildings were constructed on either side of the plateau.


    and at the center, there was even a lake.


    but what really captured li yuan''s attention was the enormous star portal at the top of the mountain, hundreds of meters long, as if leading to another world, its surface subtly rippling.


    one could faintly glimpse the scene on the other side.


    such a large star realm entrance.


    no wonder the principal directly flew the aircraft into the martial divine star realm last time.


    "this is the entrance and exit to the martial divine star realm. you will be following lie feng semi divine for training, and it''s estimated you''ll often go out for training," duanmu mountain master instructed. "i''ve given you access, you can use the flying vehicles for daily travel."


    li yuan listened carefully.


    "but remember, when traveling on feixing, try not to reveal your identity," duanmu mountain master instructed.


    "yes," li yuan nodded.


    in the martial divine hall members'' manual, it is clearly stated that unless one condenses true intent, it is not allowed to go out during the first year... even for older members, at least they have to get through the fourth match of the battle of seven stars before they can go out.


    those who can win the fourth match often have strength that is considered powerful even among the top-grade origin martial artists.


    with such strength, one is deemed to have the ability to protect oneself.


    otherwise, once one''s whereabouts or news leaked, any member of the martial divine hall would be a worthy target for assassination by a foreign civilization.


    whoo! whoo!


    duanmu mountain master flew into the giant star portal with li yuan... hiss~ accompanied by a slight feeling of discomfort, it felt like water sliding over the body.


    they traveled in a stream of light for quite a while.


    this feeling was very strange. in the past, when li yuan traversed the star realms, he mostly sat on trains... and when traversing star portals between planets, the pressure was much less.


    whoosh~


    the two finally arrived at the other end.


    this was an immensely large warbase. they were now at a broad internal airfield with numerous flying vehicles hovering... with a huge ring-shaped passage overhead that could be sealed at any time.


    "let''s go, lie feng semi divine is waiting outside the base," duanmu mountain master took li yuan.


    under the watchful eyes of many officers and martial artists, they soared into the sky and passed through the passageway to the outside of the vast warbase.


    looking out, the vast land stretched to the horizon.


    shortly thereafter, the two arrived at a small hill about ten kilometers from the base.


    there was a cool pavilion on the hilltop, and the two slowly descended. s§×arch* the n??efire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "li yuan, go ahead, lie feng semi divine is over there," duanmu mountain master pointed to the distance and said.


    li yuan couldn''t help but look towards the pavilion a hundred meters away where a middle-aged man in hemp clothing was sitting.


    subconsciously, li yuan deployed the divine palace inquiry.


    "[target creature, life level exceeds the limit of inquiry, killing may obtain spiritual nature nourishment]," li yuan looked at the inquiry result and felt a jolt in his heart.


    indeed, an alien race demigod!


    but li yuan also understood in his heart.


    the fact that dongfang ji, the senior, specially invited this person over instead of seeking one of the other wind system semi divines within the alliance... clearly demonstrated the individual''s strength.


    most likely, in the eyes of dongfang ji, this person was the most suitable to be his wind system teacher.


    just like that.


    under the watchful eye of duanmu mountain master, li yuan walked to the outside of the pavilion, bowed, and said, "junior li yuan, greets the teacher."


    hu!


    the middle-aged man in hemp clothes, who had been staring into the distance, seemed to have only just noticed and turned his head to look at li yuan. his eyes were full of vicissitudes and seemed to tell a story.


    an invisible oppression spread in all directions, enveloping li yuan entirely.


    demigod!


    this was the terrifying aura belonging to a demigod, unabashedly displayed, yet the middle-aged man in hemp did not utter a word.


    gradually, li yuan began to sweat profusely from his forehead.


    but he was still enduring, resisting this pressure.


    had the other party deployed a spiritual shock, li yuan might not have been able to withstand the assault of a demigod at the peak of his power... but merely the oppressive atmosphere was still bearable.


    after a long moment.


    "not bad, at such a young age, your spiritual will is indeed extraordinary," the middle-aged man in hemp finally spoke.


    the terrible oppression that had disseminated just now vanished in an instant, and li yuan immediately felt at ease.


    the middle-aged man in hemp said in a cool voice, "under 19 years of age, with such accomplishments, no wonder your alliance hierarch speaks so highly of you."


    "teacher," li yuan said with even more respect, realizing that what had just occurred was a small test for him.


    "no need to call me teacher; i didn''t say i would take you as a disciple."


    "i have only agreed to teach you for six months at the request of your alliance hierarch," said lie feng semi divine in an indifferent voice. "you can call me lie feng semi divine, or senior lie feng."


    "whatever the reason the teacher has for instructing me, since you are teaching me, i naturally should address you as teacher," li yuan insisted.


    "as you wish," lie feng semi divine was indifferent, "step forward."


    li yuan approached respectfully.


    "i am aware of many of your deeds; your talent in the earth vein is extremely high. if you focused on this, you could probably step into the threshold of law and become a demigod in no more than twenty years," lie feng semi divine said with a smile. "so why do you want to learn the wind vein? to my knowledge, you don''t seem to have achieved much in the wind vein."


    li yuan hesitated.


    he wasn''t foolish. if lie feng semi divine asked such a question, there must be a reason.


    "one reason is the pursuit of the ultimate in spear technique," li yuan spoke softly. "i practice spear techniques, and i feel that the mere stellar true intent is not enough for the mightiness of spear techniques."


    "secondly, i personally like the wind vein," li yuan spoke frankly. "of course, the most important point is that i do have a certain talent in the wind vein."


    he was mostly speaking the plain truth.


    "like?" lie feng semi divine shook his head with a smile. "regardless of which path you take, the ultimate goal is to step through the door of law, to become a demigod or even a divine being."


    "do you know what the difference is between comprehending one law alone and comprehending multiple laws?"


    li yuan shook his head involuntarily.


    "whether it''s the earth vein or the wind vein... each is a part of the world''s mystery," lie feng semi divine said softly. "the world is vast, the law of the great dao is like an ocean, and condensing true intent is merely grasping a drop of water from the ocean."


    "the so-called metal, wood, water, fire, and so on are just our artificial divisions," lie feng semi divine said with a smile. "but in fact, the operation of laws in the world is an entirety."


    "similar to a civilization, which is a whole, but for better social division of labor, we artificially categorize it into various professions."


    li yuan fell into contemplation.


    "comprehending one law allows for faster and more stable progress, but this path has its limits and bottlenecks," lie feng semi divine spoke slowly. "the further you go, the harder it becomes to proceed." enjoy new tales from empire


    "of course, it''s enough to support you in becoming a divine being," lie feng semi divine said. "even divine beings have only comprehended a very small part of the mysteries of law."


    li yuan listened closely.


    "when you comprehend multiple laws, their induced various fluctuations in the world are interrelated," lie feng semi divine said. "although they influence each other, occasionally they may trigger each other, making it easier to break through certain bottlenecks at times."


    "therefore, many demigods, even divine beings, after practicing for hundreds or thousands of years and getting stuck in a bottleneck on one path of the great dao, will often try to comprehend other laws."


    li yuan nodded silently; duanmu mountain master had mentioned this to him before.


    "one more point, comprehending multiple laws and combining their mysteries can compensate for the weaknesses of different laws, and the resulting strength is indeed extremely terrifying," lie feng semi divine said with a smile.


    "aren''t all these good things?" li yuan couldn''t help interjecting.


    "with good comes bad."


    "every matter in the world has a dual nature," lie feng semi divine shook his head and said. "first and foremost, to exert the power of law''s mystery, you must cultivate powerful star techniques. for example, for the wind vein, you typically need to cultivate various star techniques like clone and escaping techniques, and use them in combination to maximize your strength, becoming as elusive as the wind when escaping and as swift as lightning when killing."


    "whereas the earth vein typically involves cultivating direct combat star techniques, such as body refining star techniques, domain star techniques, and so on," said lie feng semi divine. "however, everyone''s awakening of star meridians is limited, and the star techniques one can cultivate are also limited... to multi-cultivate actually makes it very difficult to bring a particular aspect to the utmost."

 Chapter 275 Cultivating between Heaven and Earth! Condensing True Intent (Extra 11)

    ```star meridians limited?


    the number of star techniques one can cultivate is limited? li yuan''s heart stirred slightly.


    he had actually considered this point before.


    but he was not as pessimistic as lie feng semi divine.


    ordinary flying heaven warriors and demigods worry because most of them have five-star meridians.


    even those with six star pulse are in the minority, and the truly powerful star meridians are usually just two or three.


    therefore, the really powerful star techniques of flying heaven warriors and demigods are often only two or three kinds.


    what about li yuan?


    his minimum goal is the seven star veins, and with the "spiritual guidance" of the mind spirit divine palace, he even has hopes of awakening the eight star veins or even the nine star pulse in the future.


    as for star techniques? with spiritual guidance, it is entirely hopeful to bring multiple star meridians to the level of "perfect star vein."


    cultivating several supreme star techniques, all have hope.


    two veins concurrently? li yuan has confidence in bringing out the might of both... of course, the premise is that he can achieve high enough success in the wind vein.


    "the second is lifespan."


    lie feng semi divine didn''t know li yuan''s thoughts, and he continued, "demigods live for a thousand years, fifth order divine beings only live for five thousand years... the deeper one delves into the law of the great dao, the more difficult it becomes."


    "divines, alone in their contemplation of a single law of the great dao, find even that time insufficient, let alone contemplating multiple laws?"


    "you are making quick progress now, because you haven''t even reached the threshold of the law... but can you ensure that once you become a demigod, you will still have enough time to spare to contemplate other laws?" lie feng semi divine looked at li yuan.


    li yuan fell into deep thought.


    star techniques, he had some confidence, but time?


    lifespan, that is an issue no one can avoid.


    with the mind spirit divine palace, he had hopes of obtaining the inheritance from the hall of inheritance of the ancient torch divine and achieving demigod or even divine status... all very hopeful prospects.


    but that''s all in the future, and right now he''s still just a prime warrior.


    who can be certain about the future?


    "third, comprehending different laws of the great dao might sometimes help you break through faster, but more often it leads to interference with each other, causing you to stray off course. as a result, when you hit a bottleneck, you might end up being unable to break through any of them," said lie feng semi divine.


    mutual interference?


    li yuan could understand this, much like many people writing novels, theoretically writing multiple novels at the same time increases the chances of making more money.


    but often multitasking affects each project, preventing any single one from achieving significant success.


    explore hidden tales at empire


    "i''ve told you both the advantages and disadvantages," lie feng semi divine said, smiling at li yuan: "do you still insist on cultivating the wind vein?"


    without much hesitation.


    "disciple li yuan, greets the teacher," li yuan bowed respectfully again, having made his decision.


    difficult?


    cultivating two veins concurrently is indeed tough, li yuan wasn''t sure he would achieve great success, but he had desire and ambition.


    he had to try.


    if he didn''t even try, li yuan would not be satisfied.


    "good," lie feng semi divine was not surprised.


    a transcendent genius like li yuan would hardly give up so easily.


    the more talented ones are, the more they believe in their own judgment. the downside is that when they fall, they often fall hard.


    "follow me."


    lie feng semi divine waved his hand, and suddenly an invisible force enveloped li yuan, whisking both away from the pavilion and shooting into the sky.


    heading straight for the distance.


    "lie feng senior, please wait," duanmu mountain master, witnessing the scene from afar, was shocked and instantly transformed into a streak of light rushing forward.


    li yuan did not trust alien race demigods very much.


    in fact, neither did duanmu mountain master.


    hum~


    an invisible ripple swept past, and immediately an immense pressure from all directions pressed down crazily, causing duanmu mountain master to feel unprecedented pressure.


    it was as if layers upon layers of the heavens and earth were crushing down, and even someone as powerful as duanmu mountain master felt his blood boiling, his speed drastically slowing.


    "duanmu lad, stop chasing," a detached voice rang in duanmu mountain master''s mind: "i''ve promised your alliance hierarch to instruct li yuan for half a year. after half a year, i will naturally let li yuan return."


    whoosh!


    duanmu mountain master could only watch helplessly as at the edge of the sky, just a few seconds later, lie feng semi divine and li yuan had vanished without a trace.


    "such incredible speed,"


    "not even a hint of air turbulence can be felt, is this the legendary demigod peak powerhouse of the wind vein?" duanmu mountain master sighed inwardly.


    his own strength was also nearly at the demigod threshold.


    but compared to demigod peak powerhouses, the gap was indeed large.


    "i''ll report to san ye semi divine," duanmu mountain master shook his head.


    just three minutes later.


    san ye semi divine had already responded, the message was simple: "don''t worry, the alliance hierarch has arrangements."


    ...


    high in the sky at ten thousand meters.


    whoosh!


    a hazy stream of light crossed the sky at unimaginable speed.


    "this flying speed is absolutely beyond thirty times the speed of sound," li yuan was shocked in his heart, quickly deducing: "am i still being carried by the power of heaven and earth? considering how lie feng semi divine appears, it seems he hasn''t even used his full strength?"


    li yuan''s perspective was incredibly high at this point.


    as far as he knew, top grade origin martial artists, when exploding with their full power, could often break the sound barrier.


    flying heaven peak powers usually fly at speeds around five times the speed of sound under normal conditions.


    some immensely strong flying heaven warriors, when using certain powerful star techniques, might approach ten times the speed of sound, but it is very hard to reach.


    what about lie feng semi divine?


    almost as soon as he moved, his flying speed reached thirty times the speed of sound? if he were to explode with full power, what level might he reach?


    at such a terrifying speed,


    li yuan believed that if a demigod did not conceal his presence, not melding with heaven and earth... once deliberately releasing his power, simply flying across the land would bring destruction to everything in its path.


    demigods, capable of devastation and destruction, was no exaggeration.


    but.


    "teacher, what is this?" li yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "i said i would guide you for half a year, for the next half year you will follow me," lie feng semi divine was quite relaxed. s§×ar?h the novel?ire(.)ne*t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    obviously, flying at this speed posed no burden to him.li yuan was stunned; this differed greatly from what he knew.


    you see, the so-called guidance from a demigod every member of seven star mountain receives for two years isn''t about following by their side... it''s often just once or twice per month.


    personal cultivation? that''s the treatment of a direct disciple.


    after all, there are a dozen members of the seven star mountain each year, and how many demigods are there in the whole alliance?


    for ordinary members of seven star mountain, receiving guidance a few times is already quite rare.


    lucky.


    "as for daily cultivation essentials, i tend to keep them in three storage treasures; i also brought the six bottles of divine spirit liquid that were delivered last time," li yuan thought to himself.


    following the other in cultivation for half a year? that also seemed fine.


    "teacher, where are we going?" li yuan asked in confusion.


    "to a place with wind."

    after just ten minutes.


    your next chapter awaits on empire


    li yuan saw an endless expanse of land, and then a vast sea appeared.


    "new sea?" li yuan''s eyes lit up.


    according to the map, they had flown over five thousand kilometers, crossing a small continent... new sea is a famous ocean on feixing, the widest part exceeds thirty thousand kilometers... it''s the largest ocean in the entire feixing.


    whoosh!


    lie feng semi divine took li yuan and swiftly entered the sea, going hundreds of kilometers deep, and finally slowed down and landed on a small island.


    this was an uninhabited island.


    under the bright sunshine, with sea breezes blowing.


    standing on the island made one''s heart feel very comfortable, with the sky and sea both a shade of azure, creating a pleasant scenery.


    "for the next month, you will cultivate here," lie feng semi divine said softly.


    "here?" li yuan was taken aback.


    looking around, although the scenery was beautiful, there was nothing particularly special.


    "come, take out your long spear," lie feng semi divine said to li yuan, "attack me, let me see the extent of your spear technique."


    "remember, don''t use origin power; this island can''t withstand such destruction."


    whoosh!


    lie feng semi divine flipped his palm and there appeared a black stick in his hand, carved with intricate patterns, and made of an unknown material.


    "yes," li yuan nodded, and with a flip of his palm took out a second-rank superior long spear.


    this was the weapon he used previously in the world within worlds.


    as for the black chen spear? after all, it was a semi divine artifact, li yuan hesitated and did not take it out.


    "to spar with a demigod?"


    "lie feng semi divine must want to instruct me," li yuan gripped the long spear with both hands, and prompted by a thought, he activated the vigor throughout his body. without invoking origin power, he charged at lie feng semi divine with a roaring sound.


    the island was rugged, but to a high-level expert like li yuan, it was almost no different from flat ground.


    "swish! swish! swish!"


    a sky-full of spear shadows roared forth, layers of spear light bloomed, engulfing lie feng semi divine.


    "whoosh!"


    lie feng semi divine stepped forward, and his long stick thrust out with a bang. at first glance, the thrust didn''t seem fast, but it instantly swept away countless spear shadows and struck precisely at the tip of the spear.


    he blocked that thrust.


    "this?" li yuan''s pupils shrank slightly; he hadn''t even felt the other party harness the power of the heavens and the earth.


    "continue, don''t stop," lie feng semi divine frowned.


    "yes, teacher," li yuan set aside all his concerns and attacked with all his might, freely displaying each move of his spear technique.


    no matter how li yuan changed his moves, lie feng semi divine always had the upper hand, each stick strike smashing through all of li yuan''s moves and counters.


    "he''s clearly not harnessing the power of the heavens and the earth."


    "he''s clearly using much less strength than me," li yuan fought with great difficulty.


    it was as if every move he made was seen through by the opponent.


    after dozens of exchanges, li yuan''s momentum was astonishing, with sand and stones whirling around him, but lie feng semi divine just stood there, not even moving half a step.


    "intercept,"


    "every time i thrust with my spear, it would be seen through by lie feng semi divine; at the weakest point of my spear technique''s burst, i''d be struck and my offensive would be dissolved," li yuan composed himself, no longer seeking to compete with lie feng semi divine but instead focused on identifying the flaws in his own spear technique.


    though the strength of their bursts was comparable, he was completely suppressed, indicating the gap in their realms was too great.


    "my spear technique is too predictable; i need to be more subtle," he thought.


    "stellar true intent should be seamless and flawless, it can be beaten head-on, but it shouldn''t be defeated before it''s even fully unleashed; this means there are many flaws in my spear technique... there''s much room for improvement," li yuan noticed many deficiencies in his spear technique.


    he attempted to make amends!


    "more crucially, it''s about speed,"


    "lie feng semi divine''s stick technique doesn''t draw upon the powers of heaven and earth, but it can suddenly burst with speed much faster than me... only then can it achieve striking after launching later," li yuan also felt the changes in the opponent''s stick technique: "better integration with the heavens and the earth."


    "although my spear technique is close to merging with the heavens and the earth, there is still air resistance,"


    "his stick technique burst doesn''t encounter air resistance along the way; in fact, it aids him,"


    "is this the mystery of wind?" li yuan was filled with vague ideas.


    this scene reminded li yuan of when he resonated with the consciousness of the divine... the mystery of wind invoked by that divine''s spear technique.


    they were very similar.


    ...


    after over a thousand exchanges, lie feng semi divine finally allowed li yuan to stop.


    "do you feel it?" lie feng semi divine asked softly.


    "i have some sense of it," li yuan nodded first, then shook his head, "but there''s still much i don''t understand."


    "it''s right not to understand,"


    lie feng semi divine said, "alright, my guidance is now over. go to the cliff there, facing the sea, and figure it out."


    li yuan was startled.


    is that the end of the guidance? not a single word.


    "starting from today, i will fight with you once every day, letting you sense the mystery of wind," lie feng semi divine spoke softly, "but how exactly to perceive it, how to incorporate it into your spear technique... that''s your own affair, i won''t say more."


    "at the same time, we will change locations every month,"


    "skills are rooted in the law; what''s called the mystery of the law, the natural mystery of the heavens and the earth, is precisely the dao," lie feng semi divine spoke slowly, "i won''t teach you spear technique, nor pass on a secret manual, nor give specific guidance."


    "because you have no foundation, guiding you now will only bind your mind, cloud your spirit, and prevent you from finding the path most suitable for yourself,"


    "your spiritual power is strong enough to resonate with the heavens and the earth,"


    "since the dao originates from the heavens and the earth, then seek it from the heavens and the earth," lie feng semi divine looked at li yuan, "when you''ve found your own path, at least congealed true intent, i will then give you specific guidance."


    "go on,"


    immediately, lie feng semi divine sat down on the spot, closed his eyes to rest, and paid no more attention to li yuan.


    "thank you, teacher,"


    ...


    and so, li yuan began a completely different journey of martial arts cultivation.


    "seeking the dao from within the heavens and earth?" li yuan sat alone on the sea-facing cliff, silently feeling the mystery of the wind''s fluctuations between heaven and earth.


    at the same time, he began to combine the pointers from lie feng semi divine, trying to express it through his spear technique.


    ...


    half a month later, one day.


    suddenly.


    "boom~" li yuan, who had been sitting in meditation on the sea cliff, suddenly had bursts of aura erupting from him, and the mighty power of heaven and earth lashed out in all directions.


    "hmm?"


    lie feng semi divine, who was in quiet cultivation, sensed something, opened his eyes, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes: "true intent?"


    "without realizing it, he''s actually congealed stellar true intent?"


    "what a freak!"

 Chapter 276 Flying Heaven, Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)

    ```in recent days, lie feng semi divine has sparred with li yuan daily, guiding and instructing him through the art of weaponry.


    the rest of the time, he mostly engaged in quiet meditation alone.


    although lie feng semi divine was nearing the end of his lifespan and had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, with slim hopes of breakthrough,


    perhaps a breakthrough was still possible? until the last moment, lie feng semi divine refused to give up.


    beyond his quiet meditation, lie feng semi divine would occasionally observe li yuan.


    he had long noticed that besides his daily set cultivation of origin power and the visualization method,


    li yuan spent almost all his remaining time pondering over spear technique, tirelessly and without rest.


    and he was truly fully committed, without a hint of laziness.


    furthermore, from the mysteries of the spear technique that lie feng semi divine perceived in li yuan''s practice, li yuan spent most of his time pondering the mystery of wind, making quick progress.


    added to that, li yuan''s respectful calling of ''teacher, teacher'' every day


    had naturally led to a growing affection over time.


    after half a month, lie feng semi divine had indeed grown fonder of li yuan from the bottom of his heart.


    it was normal for anyone to favor sensible juniors with high talent who practiced diligently.


    but!!


    lie feng semi divine could have never imagined that although li yuan spent most of his time pondering the mysteries of the wind,


    in just half a month, li yuan had unconsciously achieved a qualitative transformation in the mystery of earth.


    for a moment, lie feng semi divine didn''t know what to say.


    "whoosh~"


    a kilometer away on a cliff, li yuan had already stood up, eyes still closed, but with a long spear materializing in his hand, which he gripped lightly.


    he slowly began to practice with the spear.


    as the long spear danced, streaks of earthy yellow currents quickly surfaced around li yuan and the spear... the power of heaven and earth had fully materialized.


    whoosh whoosh whoosh~


    with each movement, the spear light streaked across the vast sky, and the earthy yellow streams, formed by the condensed power of heaven and earth, completely enveloped li yuan, as if he were encased in a spherical shell.


    these earthy yellow streams also made li yuan''s aura increasingly formidable.


    even under their wrap, li yuan was unknowingly levitating above the ground.


    flying!


    hovering in midair!


    "a sixth stage master, truly stepping into the realm of the dao," lie feng semi divine heaved a sigh as he watched, thinking to himself, "this lad, truly has an incredible talent for the earth vein."


    over this half-month of teaching, he had initially thought that li yuan had talent in the wind vein.


    but now, compared to his talent in the earth vein? it was far inferior.


    ...


    "the universe is vast, and the earth is boundless." li yuan''s entire being was completely immersed in the fluctuations of the earth, his soul merging entirely with heaven and earth.


    indeed.


    over these half-months, he truly dedicated himself to practicing the spear and pondering the mysteries of heaven and earth pertaining to wind... but the mystery of all things in heaven and earth are one, and his talent for the earth vein was just too high.


    with many external aids as well,


    as he sensed the mysterious and unpredictable wind fluctuations between heaven and earth, he unconsciously also began to sense the mystery of earth''s fluctuations... without him intentionally cultivating or comprehending them.


    just now, as he sat cross-legged on the cliff,


    a sudden thought crossed li yuan''s mind, and he vaguely sensed a series of marvelous vibrations coming from the earth beneath, touching a chord deep within his soul.


    "the earth!"


    "heaven and earth!"


    in the past, li yuan could sense the various fluctuations of origin power in the vast universe, the forces of heaven and earth, but he felt the earth''s fluctuations most clearly.


    but in that instant,


    li yuan''s consciousness and spirit became one with the endless earth, sensing nothing but the vast and profound vibrations of the earth.


    all else fell away from his perceptions.


    the earth, vast and expansive. stay updated via empire


    all the previous insights and accumulations suddenly flooded li yuan''s mind like a tide.


    "is this the full picture of the earth''s fluctuations?" li yuan''s perfect star vein throbbed within him, the "true solution of the earth star vein" transforming into a brilliant streak of starlight, faintly radiating an earthy yellow glow.


    li yuan''s understanding of the true meaning of earth was deep, surpassing many flying heaven warriors.


    from the rudimentary form of true intent to the condensation of true intent,


    that step was as vast as a chasm!


    for the seven star civilization, or the many other civilizations'' flying heaven warriors, this barrier was nearly insurmountable.


    "in the past, although i contemplated the true meaning of earth,"


    "i never felt such a connection with the earth in my soul." li yuan was completely engrossed, slowly executing his spear technique, with all his past insights converging into a unified whole, each movement as majestic as the rolling stars, unshakeable and imposing, imbued with a power capable of crushing all that lay before him.


    true intent!


    li yuan realized then that what was referred to as stellar true intent, true intent of longevity, and so on... were merely aspects of the law of the great dao that later generations forcibly associated.


    strictly speaking, only the true intent of earth, water, fire, wind... though different experts perceive them differently, they all converge to the same endpoint.


    "the true intent that i''ve condensed is markedly different from the so-called ''stellar true intent'' that many flying heaven warriors perceive," li yuan thoughtfully stated, "there''s no need to deliberately call it ''stellar true intent.''


    "just the true meaning of earth will do."


    ...


    in the skies above,


    "whoosh~" with each burst of spear light, not even a trace of origin power fluctuation was involved, yet time and again, the spear pierced through dozens of meters of empty space, leaving behind lasting spear light marks. s§×arch* the novel?ire(.)ne*t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    on the offensive, it was forthright, as if to overwhelm with sheer strength.


    on defense, the currents flowed like a long river, unending.


    "the mysteries of true intent he has grasped seem to differ from simple stellar true intent," lie feng semi divine observed from below, secretly musing, "normal stellar true intent excels in defense, but li yuan''s spear technique is well-rounded in both offense and defense, flowing continuously."


    ```

 Chapter 276 Flying Heaven Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)_2

    after quite some time,li yuan finally stopped completely, controlling the invisible forces of heaven and earth, and descended to the ground.


    "controlling the path and proceeding." li yuan silently recited in his heart, only when one''s skill reaches the sixth stage can they borrow the true intent to fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth.


    "li yuan."


    "congratulations, you''ve finally reached the sixth stage of true intent." lie feng semi divine appeared beside li yuan at some point, his face wearing an inscrutable smile, "you''ve perfectly achieved unity with heaven and earth, truly entering the path."


    li yuan could not help but nod.


    at the fifth stage of unity of heaven and man, the initial step is unity of the spirit with heaven and earth, where the soul merges with heaven and earth to be nourished, followed by gradually drawing upon the powers of heaven and earth.


    gradually merging one''s body with heaven and earth.


    why can an extreme expert at the pinnacle of the fifth stage run so terrifyingly fast?


    it is because their body nearly merges with heaven and earth, with air almost not forming any resistance.


    only when one''s comprehension of the mysteries of heaven and earth is profound enough and the realm high enough to undergo a complete transformation to reach the state of true intent,


    that is entering the path!


    in a single thought, one''s body can fully merge with heaven and earth, becoming a part of the forces of heaven and earth, which allows one to borrow the power of heaven and earth for high-speed flight without any impediment.


    once one reaches this realm, walking in the sky, on the land, or in the ocean almost feels like being on flat ground, hardly any different. read latest chapters at empire


    this is an essential transformation.


    "with your current strength, many just-broken-through flying heaven warriors probably aren''t as powerful as you," said lie feng semi divine.


    li yuan nodded again.


    flying heaven warriors, within their sea of source energy, condense an ''origin pill,'' which grants them an explosive increase in the might of the origin power that transforms from the origin pill, simultaneously endowing the martial artist with the ability to fly... flying is the greatest advantage that flying heaven warriors have over prime warriors.


    but those who have condensed true intent can also fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth, and in some ways are even better at flying than many flying heaven warriors who have not condensed true intent... for condensing true intent is essentially about being recognized by heaven and earth and blessed by them.


    like lude nef, yu jinghe, they were able to defeat or even kill flying members of the alien race with the bodies of prime warriors.


    their biggest reliance was true intent comprehension.


    "condensing true intent is but the first step on the path, it is only heaven and earth''s true intent, and you have yet to clearly comprehend the essence of heaven and earth."


    "next, what you need to do is to continue sensing the vibrations of the earth vein on this path and keep contemplating and deducing," lie feng semi divine said, "until one day, a quantitative change causes a qualitative transformation, allowing you to integrate your many comprehensions. that will be the mystery of law."


    "the mystery of law, just by understanding a trace of it, you won''t need any external force, and just with a thought, you could kill an ordinary flying heaven warrior," lie feng semi divine looked at li yuan, "but stepping into the threshold of law is extremely difficult, many demigods cannot achieve it."


    "disciple understands," said li yuan.


    he had seen this mentioned in many records in the database... typically, when one''s skill reaches the perfection level of true intent and they have refined their body and origin pill to the utmost, they can hope to step into the demigod level.


    and if one''s skill reaches the seventh stage of law? becoming a demigod is as easy as lifting your hand.


    like li yuan now.


    he felt that with his exceedingly high skill level, just by thinking about it, even if his physical quality had yet to reach the pinnacle of a prime warrior... he could still draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and with five star meridians converging to form an origin pill, directly become a flying heaven warrior. s~ea??h the novelfire.net* website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    such is the power of high expertise.


    of course, what li yuan was pursuing was to awaken the seven star veins or even the eight star veins as a prime warrior... striving to condense the most potent origin pill swiftly upon breakthrough, to lay the best foundation.


    in the short term, li yuan would not choose to break through.


    "your natural talent in the earth vein is unbelievably high," lie feng semi divine said, "but it is much inferior in the wind vein, are you sure you want to continue cultivating it?"


    "yes," li yuan nodded emphatically, having come this far, how could he give up.


    "good," lie feng semi divine wasn''t really trying to dissuade him.


    it was just that he simply felt that li yuan''s attention to the wind vein... seemed somewhat a waste of time.


    ...


    having successfully condensed the true meaning of earth, his strength once again surged, and li yuan felt exceptionally at ease.


    once again sitting cross-legged on the cliff.


    listening to the tide rise and fall, letting the strong wind blow... the weather on the island was unpredictable.


    "is the weather changing again?" li yuan pondered in his heart.


    over the past half-month, li yuan had become accustomed to the sudden weather changes on the island in the deep sea.


    "sensing heaven and earth," li yuan gently closed his eyes.


    now that he had successfully condensed true intent, he felt an even clearer sense of the vast heaven and earth.


    those strands of vibrations of heaven and earth also appeared ever more ''beautiful'' in his eyes.


    only when one has reached that level, can they appreciate the wonderful beauty of nature.


    to pursue the path in the morning and be ready to die in the evening.


    the prerequisite is to enter the path.


    "spiritual power grows even faster."


    "the more effortlessly i draw upon the source power between heaven and earth, the faster my physical quality grows, and my origin power recovery speed will also increase accordingly," li yuan realized.


    the transformation of skill represents a higher degree of harmony with heaven and earth.


    "the vibrations of the earth, boundless and expansive."


    "wind, on the other hand, roams freely within the vast heaven and earth." li yuan vaguely felt some commonalities between the mysteries of earth and the mysteries of wind.


    at the level of cultivation that li yuan had reached,


    he increasingly understood that the mysteries of earth were not simply about defense; they also have an unrestrained side... but its core is about encompassing everything, about supporting everything, about extending to the stable vastness of the endless earth.


    it is the cornerstone of the endless operation of heaven and earth, and in some sense, it is indeed very rigid, even in attack it is forthright, seeking to crush with absolute power.


    but the mystery of wind, it too has many aspects, it can be used for attack or defense, but its core is fluid and elegant.


    earth, wind.


    these two great laws seem to be completely opposite.


    but in li yuan''s perception, they appeared to have thousands of intertwining connections.

 Chapter 276 Flying Heaven, Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)_3

    "in the divine spear technique, the mysteries of the two great laws are perfectly combined," li yuan silently recalled his initial impressions."time to practice the spear!"


    "focusing solely on the mystery of wind indeed wasn''t fast enough," li yuan thought to himself, "now that i have condensed the true meaning of earth and entered the path... i shall try learning the divine spear technique again and see if i can integrate the mystery of wind into it."


    meanwhile.


    li yuan''s peripheral vision swept over a column in the divine palace panel:


    [skill realm: true meaning of earth (sixth stage initial rank), mystery of wind (fifth stage 19%)]


    "after entering the sixth stage, there''s no longer a distinction between spear technique and movement technique?" li yuan mused, "and it''s no longer giving me feedback in terms of percentages?"


    to this, li yuan could understand.


    grasping the mysteries of heaven and earth is inherently immeasurable, and the fact that the divine palace panel could still vaguely classify them into initial rank, intermediate rank, and high rank was already extraordinary.


    like many martial artists who had reached the realm of true intent, even they often couldn''t clearly define their own level of achievement.


    the dao is elusive.


    "the progress in the mystery of wind isn''t slow either," li yuan revealed a slight smile.


    at first glance, the rapid approach to intermediate rank in the fifth stage of the mystery of wind seemed much faster than before when contemplating the mysteries of earth... but that was because li yuan had already completed the foundational body and spirit from the first to the fourth level.


    and now, li yuan''s spiritual power had grown tremendously.


    even if he were to try contemplating the mysteries of water or the mysteries of fire now, he would also start directly from the fifth stage.


    "drip-drop~ drip-drop~


    huff! huff!


    the sky had started to drizzle, and li yuan, facing the wind and rain, began to practice his spear technique once again.


    ...


    several hundred kilometers away from the entrance and exit of the martial divine star realm.


    stay tuned to empire


    in that mysterious dark space, a vague figure sat upon the void.


    surrounding him were subtle ripples intertwined with streaks of golden light, adding to his enigma.


    "master."


    a deep voice suddenly sounded, "lie feng semi-divine has sent a message about li yuan." sear?h the nov§×lf~ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "speak," the vague figure commanded without opening his eyes.


    "lie feng semi-divine says that li yuan has made quick progress on the wind vein but... it seems his progress on the earth vein is far more terrifying," the deep voice reported.


    "could it be that he''s not focusing on the wind vein while practicing with lie feng?" the vague figure frowned slightly.


    "that''s not it."


    "according to lie feng semi-divine, li yuan''s consciousness is extremely strong, and he is very diligent in his practice, always focusing on the wind vein," the deep voice explained, "but somehow, he has also condensed the true meaning of earth unknowingly."


    "he''s condensed the true intent so quickly?" there was a hint of surprise in the vague figure''s voice.


    "yes," the deep voice replied, "there''s still half a month before he turns 19, already much faster than fang hai was back then, he''s now the number one of our seven star civilization, and fang hai had obtained... "


    "each person has their own destiny."


    "fang hai obtained an opportunity that even i envied, and perhaps li yuan also had his fortune in secret," the vague figure said calmly, "but what peerless genius doesn''t have a great opportunity?"


    "sometimes, if the opportunity is too strong and one''s own strength can''t bear it, it can be harmful instead."


    "tell lie feng, just instruct him as usual."


    "yes."


    ...


    about ten days after condensing the true meaning of earth, on a certain island, two figures were sparring.


    "whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!"


    li yuan''s long spear thrust forward or slashed down aggressively in his hands, overwhelming in attack, but within the direct and honest assault hid countless variable moves, all very agile.


    "boom!"


    "boom!" each collision of their weapons, even though lie feng semi-divine still held an absolute advantage,


    had become increasingly difficult for him to intercept li yuan''s weapon. he even had to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to withstand li yuan''s attacks.


    after a long while, they ceased their sparring.


    "how has your spear technique improved so rapidly?" lie feng semi-divine''s eyes flashed with surprise, "judging just by the mystery of wind, you could already be considered at the intermediate rank of the fifth stage."


    in one month''s time, going from just starting to contemplate the mystery of wind to stepping into the intermediate rank of the fifth stage?


    what kind of cultivation speed was that?


    lie feng semi-divine clearly felt that since condensing the true meaning of earth, li yuan''s pace of cultivation in the mystery of wind had sped up considerably.


    "firstly, it''s thanks to the teacher''s excellent guidance,"


    li yuan said with a smile, "secondly, after condensing the true meaning of earth, during cultivation, i gradually attempted to integrate the mysteries of earth and wind into one, which promoted each other, making my cultivation much faster."


    "mysteries of earth and wind promoting each other?" lie feng semi-divine looked at li yuan without revealing his inner shock.


    lie feng semi-divine couldn''t help but ask, "how did you manage that?"


    combining two mysteries is extraordinarily difficult; if not done correctly, it''s easy to negatively affect each other and slow down both cultivations.


    "it just happened naturally," li yuan ''honestly'' replied.


    lie feng semi-divine was silent for a moment.


    "alright."


    "if the path you''re on is the right one, then follow your own path," lie feng semi-divine said softly, "contemplating the law of the great dao, following your own heart''s desire is the most correct."


    "i will surely work hard and live up to teacher''s expectations," li yuan said softly.


    yet, inside, he was inwardly sighing.


    naturally? no! it was because of the martial god inheritance and the guidance of the spear technique with divine consciousness resonance... that allowed him to be on a relatively correct path from the start to end.


    li yuan was indeed talented in the wind vein.


    but the external environment was indispensable.


    "let''s go, change location for cultivation," lie feng semi-divine said, taking to the skies.


    whoosh!


    with a thought, li yuan manipulated the power of heaven and earth and also soared up.


    experiencing true intent for so long, this was the first time li yuan had fully unleashed his flying ability.


    boom!


    "while controlling the dao for flight, my fastest velocity is roughly thrice the speed of sound," li yuan quickly deduced.

 Chapter 276 Flying Heaven, Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)_4

    ```fortunately, lie feng semi divine did not fly fast, li yuan quickly caught up.


    "teacher, where are we going?" li yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "wherever the wind blows, that''s where we go."


    ...


    not long after, the two arrived at a tall mountain on feixing, where ice and snow were perennial, and fierce winds howled.


    "for the next month, you will cultivate here," lie feng semi divine said.


    "yes," li yuan replied.


    li yuan had vaguely understood lie feng semi divine''s intention, to feel the heaven and earth, to observe all the scenes in the world.


    it was an excellent method for cultivation towards enlightenment.


    time was immaterial in cultivation.


    just like that.


    every month, li yuan would follow lie feng semi divine to a different place to cultivate.


    island, snowy mountain, deep valley, desert, gobi... they appeared in all kinds of dangerous places on feixing.


    from beginning to end, lie feng semi divine never told li yuan how to comprehend, only using the daily battles to guide him.


    reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.


    traveling thousands of miles is not as good as having a knowledgeable teacher guide you.


    now, li yuan was traveling thousands of miles while being guided by a knowledgeable teacher, and the continuous help from divine spirit liquid made his cultivation speed even faster.


    in such daily cultivation.


    li yuan''s physical quality and his understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth were constantly improving.


    in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.


    ...


    in a mysterious dark space not far from the entrance and exit of the martial divine star realm.


    "master."


    a deep voice suddenly rang out in the dark space: "li yuan has completed his half-year tenure with lie feng semi divine."


    "just now, lie feng semi divine has sent a message."


    "what did he say?" the blurred figure still did not open its eyes: "is he planning to send li yuan back?"


    "lie feng semi divine says, give him another half year," the deep voice said: "and, he hopes to take li yuan as his direct disciple."


    the dark space became quiet once again.


    after a while.


    "it seems, li yuan has satisfied him greatly," the blurred figure slowly said: "agree... but whether he wishes to become a disciple, we must also consult li yuan''s opinion."


    "yes,"


    ...


    time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, it''s june 2045.


    fierce feather star realm, world within worlds.


    hall of inheritance of the fire system divine being.


    "boom~" streams of flame light appeared out of nowhere, followed by the appearance of a figure in a fiery red robe in the hall.


    on her forehead, a flame emblem was faintly visible, and her eyes also showed a hint of joy.


    she had finally succeeded.


    "lanyue, i didn''t expect that with the help of the myriad flame divine diagram, in just over a year, you would grow this much," the voice of the boundary spirit said: "in the mysteries of fire, you have reached the intermediate rank of the fifth stage, and your physical quality has also transformed to level 22, qualifying you to go out."


    "thank you, boundary spirit," lin lanyue said respectfully.


    "there''s no need to thank me, this is all your own doing," the voice of the boundary spirit said: "your willpower was already not bad, and after acquiring the visualization method, it transformed even more... to endure six rounds of fire refining nirvana, you have truly brought out your bloodline potential."


    lin lanyue nodded slightly, a trace of solemnity in her eyes.


    six rounds of fire refining nirvana were indeed a nightmare.


    "soon, when your physical quality reaches level 29, your spiritual power should be able to reach the flying heaven level, and your comprehension of the natural mysteries of heaven and earth will also be much faster," the voice of the boundary spirit said again: "however, the road ahead is still fraught with hardships."


    "you wish to become the direct disciple of your master, but you are not yet qualified."


    "go out and experience,"


    "come back when you''ve reached the pinnacle of a prime warrior," the voice of the boundary spirit said: "once the cave heaven world is liberated... you will receive the most important gift left for you by your master."


    "yes," lin lanyue nodded, her eyes brimming with joy.


    she was finally able to go out.


    in her heart, several figures emerged, parents, elder brother, second brother.


    lastly, the image of another person, whom she hadn''t seen in over a year, suddenly appeared in her mind.


    "are you doing well?" lin lanyue thought to herself.


    hum~


    an invisible fluctuation swept over, and lin lanyue disappeared within the hall.


    ...


    xia country, northern border province, the entrance and exit of rob sea star realm spanned hundreds of kilometers, with extremely unstable space.


    on one side of the entrance was a sky full of yellow sand.


    several large war fortresses stood erect, beyond counting weapon towers.


    on the other end, beyond the faintly illusory space ripples, a blood moon illuminated the dark and vast land.


    rugged mountain ranges stretched endlessly.


    this place was the most dangerous in xia country''s territory and the most likely to upgrade to a ''third level star realm'' from a second level star realm.


    the key point was, this was the frontline of the war between the seven star civilization and the cloud beast civilization.


    great battles erupted year-round.


    "hum~" "hum~"


    "hum~" inside several large war fortresses, along the corridors, alert systems flashed red lights nearly at the same time.

    "war alert!" s§×arch* the n?vel?ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "war alert!"


    "full-scale war alert." the entire stationed army of a million in the rob sea war zone, tens of thousands of martial artists, were simultaneously jolted in their hearts and entered a state of readiness.


    everyone knew that since the great battle two years ago.


    the cloud beast civilization had once again initiated full-scale war.

 Chapter 277 The Fourth Brood Nest! The Expedition (Extra 12)

    the rob sea star realm is not particularly vast.during the inquiry of the seven star civilization, the largest explored range exceeded thirty thousand kilometers.


    however, decades of relentless effort and massive resource investment have only led to the establishment of an outpost base within about three thousand kilometers of the star realm''s entrance.


    further in? the seven star civilization has only been able to dispatch small squads for exploration, struggling to establish a solid base.


    the most significant reason for this is the obstruction of the cloud beast civilization.


    this foreign civilization, as one of the earliest to enter the rob sea star realm and the first to invest massive resources, built numerous mother nest lairs, enabling it to maintain a strong offensive against the seven star civilization.


    about eight thousand kilometers away from the seven star civilization''s nearest outpost base, there is a continuous mountain range.


    deep beneath the mountains, many large secret chambers are constructed, interconnected like a vast labyrinth.


    each chamber is endlessly bright, as if it were daylight, with occasionally massive exotic beasts patrolling.


    in one of the super-large chambers, three massive exotic beasts each occupied one end: a colossal red flying serpent, a furry giant resembling a simian clad in thick armor, and a beast with tiger-like paws and a body covered in black scales.


    the aura they exuded was exceptionally vigorous,


    at the moment, in front of them, there was a massive holographic projection, displaying a shadowy figure shrouded in darkness.


    its true face was unclear, with even its background nearly nonexistent.


    explore more stories at empire


    "you three, long time no see," the shadowy figure cackled with an eerie laugh.


    "black mist, long time no see," the colossal blood-colored flying serpent spoke. as sky-flying level life, they were highly intelligent, and learning an alien race''s language was effortless for them.


    the three exotic beasts present are the cloud beast civilization''s three great leaders in the rob sea star realm, each possessing formidable combat strength.


    as for the shadowy figure before them?


    its identity is even more special... it is the most highly positioned undercover agent that the cloud beast civilization can secretly contact within the seven star civilization.


    all along, it has been relaying intelligence to them.


    "black mist, you should have received the items we sent," the blood-colored flying serpent said softly, "based on our previous agreement, you should now provide us with information."


    neither side could truly trust the other, making transactions difficult.


    each transaction took a long time.


    "of course, i always keep my promises," the shadowy figure said, "this is xia country''s current ''troop deployment distribution map''; it''s already quite detailed... more details, i can''t obtain since i''m not a commander."


    swiftly,


    the shadowy figure passed the intelligence quickly to the cloud beast civilization''s three great leaders.


    "the second piece of news, lude nef has been confirmed to have broken through," the shadowy figure said, "he has achieved the sky-flying level... though this news hasn''t spread."


    "the third message, yu jinghe has been deeply trapped in ming mountain of the mingxu star realm and should not be able to get out any time soon."


    "the remaining group of prime warriors at seven star mountain, who have grasped true intent, are not that strong, posing little threat to you."


    the three great beasts exchanged glances, a hint of relief flashing in their eyes.


    this war they had instigated, their greatest concern were the powerful prime warriors of the seven star civilization, whose strength was even greater than ordinary flying heaven warriors... especially lude nef, who was practically a nightmare for the cloud beast civilization.


    similarly,


    in this past year, the seven star civilization and the tianliang civilization have been contesting over the mingxu star realm... yu jinghe has also emerged spectacularly, displaying increasingly terrifying power.


    the two of them, both capable of confronting large groups of ordinary flying heaven warriors.


    but now, these two biggest threats, one has achieved a breakthrough and the other is trapped in the mingxu star realm.


    "fine, that''s all the intelligence," the shadowy figure said, "if you still can''t win, don''t blame me."


    "black mist,"


    the blood-red flying serpent, wu sihai, spoke deeply, "our demigod has tasked me with delivering a message to you. if you are willing to take out yu jinghe or li yuan, we are prepared to offer treasures worth thirty thousand seven stars points."


    "thirty thousand seven stars points?" the shadowy figure laughed bizarrely, "wu sihai, are you looking down on me? or are you underestimating yu jinghe and li yuan of my seven star civilization?"


    "yu jinghe is powerful; killing him would be difficult."


    "as for li yuan? he''s more mysterious; i can''t even find where he is."


    "moreover, i only trade in intelligence; i never strike. but that''s not to say i won''t consider it... it''s just a matter of price." s~ea??h the n?velfire.n§×t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "how much do you want?" wu sihai with the blood-colored flying serpent''s eyes lit up slightly.


    "treasures worth one million seven stars points!"


    the chamber suddenly fell silent.


    "hehe, don''t blame me for not taking action; blame your poverty," the shadowy figure snickered, "i''m off, we''ll contact again next time."


    boom~


    the projection with the shadowy figure instantly vanished.


    "bastard! one million? how can he even ask for that!" the purple-furred simian burst into an angry roar, "a decent semi divine artifact is often valued at about ten thousand seven stars points."


    "one million could almost exchange for a divine artifact," the purple simian growled.


    "zipa," wu sihai, the flying serpent, frowned and said, "he wasn''t willing to take action in the first place, just throwing out absurd prices. these humans are all exceedingly cunning... they will only trade intelligence, they''ll never truly risk their lives."


    "wu sihai, what''s your plan?" the black beast who had not spoken yet suddenly said.


    "three mother nest lairs, over the past two years, have bred a large number of exotic beasts, devouring and slaughtering each other; we have accumulated enough second rank exotic beasts," said wu sihai, the flying serpent, in a deep voice, "i have already ordered the three great mothers to initiate the first wave of attacks from the front lines."

 Chapter 12)_2

    "once we destroy the many outposts of the seven star civilization and they lose their monitoring capacity over us,""it will be time for us to establish our fourth nest beast lair," the flying serpent wu sihai said, "yu jinghe, lude nef is restrained... even if the seven star civilization reacts, it will be difficult for them to dispatch stronger forces to kill their way in here in a short time."


    the other two leaders couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    the nest beast lair is extremely vulnerable when it is first established.


    but as time passes, it becomes stronger and stronger... once the first three nest beast lairs became completely stable, the seven star civilization attacked several times but could not shake them.


    "once we establish the fourth nest beast lair, our offensive will be even stronger," the purple monkey zipa said in a deep voice, "at that time, we will be able to completely suppress the seven star civilization."


    "and then wait to establish the fifth nest beast lair... the entire star realm will belong to us."


    the other two leaders couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    the ultimate goal of the cloud beast civilization is to invade the entire star realm, continuously spawning more exotic beasts, both to strengthen the civilization''s foundation and to use it as a springboard to constantly invade the seven star civilization.


    ...


    the rob sea erupted into a great war again.


    indeed, it put tremendous pressure on the seven star civilization, especially on xia country.


    after all, in the mingxu star realm, the great war with the tianliang civilization had not yet ended, and a large number of elite forces had already been committed. how could they withdraw?


    the main forces in these two great wars were from xia country.


    however, given xia country''s foundation and strong national power, it could still hold out for a short time.


    moreover, as per tradition, in such continuous large-scale wars, the alliance would make adjustments, ordering other nations to dispatch forces to assist.


    this is a full-scale war with an alien civilization, and no power can refuse the summoning.


    ...


    feixing, on that island deep within the prajna sea.


    overcast clouds filled the sky, and gusts of wind blew violently on that rugged, stony island.


    "teacher," li yuan greeted the middle-aged man in hemp clothing with respect.


    eleven months had passed.


    the lie feng semi divine seemed to take a step closer to the end of his lifespan, with a hint of white hair emerging on his head and his face showing increased signs of age.


    "li yuan, it''s been about five months since you officially joined my discipleship," said the lie feng semi divine in a gentle voice.


    "yes, teacher," li yuan nodded.


    half a year ago, when the lie feng semi divine proposed to formally take him as a disciple, li yuan did not hesitate to agree.


    after such a long time together, li yuan could feel that the other party treated him well and taught him with great dedication.


    accepting a teacher?


    on the path of cultivation, there are often many teachers.


    this matter, gu you once told li yuan, if one can strengthen oneself and is willing to do so, as long as it doesn''t involve betraying one''s original teacher, it''s fine to accept other powerful individuals as one''s teachers.


    after accepting his teacher, li yuan had returned to the martial divine star realm once to retrieve the divine spirit liquid and many other cultivation resources.


    to this day, he had been following the lie feng semi divine in cultivation for nearly five months, with great progress.


    "come,"


    "let your teacher see what progress you have made in these three days," the lie feng semi divine stood up.


    two months ago, li yuan had already stopped fighting daily, switching to fighting every three days instead.


    the lie feng semi divine looked at li yuan with a smile.


    after nearly a year, li yuan was consistent in showing respectful disciple etiquette, without a trace of slackness, cultivating industriously, with faster and faster progress in the mystery of wind... all utterly without fault.


    the lie feng semi divine grew from initially disliking to increasingly liking li yuan.


    and yet!


    the closer to the end of his lifespan, the more the lie feng semi divine felt the approaching death... the hope of breaking through growing dimmer by the day.


    a powerful individual when young might not wish to sincerely instruct a disciple, often having more faith in themselves, and even when dealing with their own offspring or disciples, they hold numerous selfish motives.


    but as they age and face the end of life, they often hope to pass on their knowledge to an outstanding disciple.


    this was fully demonstrated in the lie feng semi divine.


    he believed that li yuan had the potential to surpass him in the wind vein.


    "be careful, teacher,"


    li yuan said softly, and suddenly a black long spear appeared in his hand. it instantly transformed into a hazy stream of light, rushing towards the lie feng semi divine.


    "sssh~"


    "sssh~" the long spear whistled, and like a phantom, it flicked out countless phantoms to assassinate the lie feng semi divine.


    fast! too fast!


    the speed of li yuan''s spear strikes, compared to a year before, was much faster, and with a hazy agility, it was nearly impossible to trace when it thrust out.


    "good."


    lie feng semi divine''s eyes lit up, and he suddenly thrust his long staff forward, instantly harnessing the power of heaven and earth.


    in an instant, weapons collided in the void, and a series of staff shadows blocked the spear light that enveloped the sky.


    "quick!"


    "faster!" li yuan''s fighting spirit soared as he fully invoked the mysteries of wind, unleashing his spear technique attacks.


    a year had passed.


    li yuan had achieved astonishing accomplishments in the mysteries of wind.


    now, although he had not yet condensed the true meaning of wind, his confidence in ascending seven star mountain with just the fluctuations of the wind''s mystery alone was a testament to his tremendous progress.


    still, he could not shake lie feng semi divine.


    "use your ultimate move, or you will be defeated," lie feng semi divine said softly.


    "kill!" li yuan''s eyes changed.


    boom!


    streams of pale earthen-yellow qi appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant, they enveloped an area of several dozen meters, each strand of qi containing astonishing binding force.


    the true meaning of earth! heaven-earth domain!


    continue reading at empire


    "wind!" in a flash, li yuan''s form split in two as the invisible fluctuations of the mysteries of wind dispersed, and he darted through the earthen-yellow qi streams.


    both li yuan figures, clad in combat armor and wielding long spears, were indistinguishable from each other, real or fake.


    "whoosh!" "whoosh!" both li yuan figures simultaneously thrust their long spears, with spear light resembling two terrifying beams, which under the enhancement of the earthen-yellow qi streams, made his already elusive spear technique even more terrifying.


    boom! boom! boom!


    his long spear collided with lie feng semi divine''s over and over again.


    however, with one figure being real and the other a phantom, and constantly swapping places, his spear technique became even more unpredictable.


    for a short time, he even seemed to be overpowering lie feng semi divine.


    "destroy!"


    with a sudden shout from lie feng semi divine, a terrifying fluctuation spread out instantly, causing the strands of earthen-yellow qi to blast away and leaving only one li yuan amidst the streams.


    "boom!"


    a staff strike thundered out, as swift as lightning, slamming into li yuan''s spear and sending him flying dozens of meters before he steadied himself again.


    "teacher, i lost," li yuan shook his head and said.


    "what did you lose?" lie feng semi divine shook his head slightly and said, "this fusion of your two mysteries... its power is already unfathomable, forcing me to use high rank sixth stage skills to hardly break through your defense... and in the end, i had to use even greater strength to directly crush your domain to win."


    "this is just the initial combination."


    "when your mysteries of wind transform into true intent... the combined power of both true intents will be even more terrifying," lie feng semi divine said, "what do you call this move?"


    "shadow domain," li yuan replied.


    this killing move.


    was precisely the strongest move that li yuan had developed over the past year, combining the true meaning of earth with the mysteries of wind.


    if he used the true meaning of earth alone, the resulting domain would be quite rigid, possessing only simple binding power, which wasn''t very effective in actual combat. other flying heaven warriors could easily break out of it.


    if he relied purely on the mysteries of wind in battle, with his current abilities, li yuan couldn''t create a perfectly untraceable ''phantom''. at most, it made him faster and his spear technique more ghostly and unpredictable.


    but once the two mysteries combined. sea??h th§× nov§×lf~ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    the true meaning of earth at its core, with the mysteries of wind as an auxiliary, made the domain that li yuan created more resilient and capable of generating a phantom that could sow real confusion amidst the false.


    in battle, it was incredibly unpredictable.


    the focus of the shadow domain, was not on the domain but on the "shadow."


    li yuan believed.


    that if other flying heaven warriors engaged in close combat with him, and they made a mistake in discerning his true form.


    they would likely be struck down by him in an instant.


    "shadow domain? the name is quite fitting," lie feng semi divine nodded slightly, "with the true meaning of earth as the foundation, your domain will not be easily destroyed; it''s much stronger than a mere domain of wind."


    li yuan listened intently.


    among the seven great laws, each has its strengths, and if we''re talking about forming a domain, those created by the mysteries of earth and water are the most powerful. the former exerts greater pressure and the latter has more resilience in its binding.


    "with the mysteries of wind integrated into your domain, making your phantom even more difficult to detect, indeed it is a lethal move. if you continue to refine it, it will surely allow you to dominate among flying heaven warriors," lie feng semi divine looked at li yuan.


    "you, are ready to leave your teacher."


    "leave my teacher?" li yuan was stunned.


    "what''s wrong?"


    "your mysteries of wind have reached the perfection level of fifth stage, do you still need to follow me?" lie feng semi divine shook his head and said, "there''s no need anymore."


    "a teacher takes you through the door, but the practice is personal."


    "i have taught you everything i can," lie feng semi divine said, "the path ahead is yours to walk on your own."


    "before you go, i have something more to give you."

 Chapter 278 A Teachers Gift! Farewell, Dean Hai (Extra 13)

    "you should know that to you, a teacher is of an alien race," lie feng semi divine said indifferently, "i do not belong to your civilization, and logically, it would be very difficult to fully trust me.""disciple has never thought this way," li yuan replied quickly.


    if at the beginning, li yuan still had some guard up,


    then after spending days and nights together for nearly a year, he had come to respect and acknowledge lie feng semi divine from the bottom of his heart.


    perhaps compared to another nominal teacher, ''ancient torch divine'', lie feng semi divine''s strength might be much weaker and the help he could offer much less, but their emotional bond was clearly much deeper.


    emotions take time to build.


    "hear me out," lie feng semi divine said with a smile, gesturing with his hand for li yuan to be quiet.


    "it''s normal not to trust." lie feng semi divine said with a smile: "when i initially came to teach you, it was at the request of dongfang ji... i owe him a great debt of gratitude."


    "i am from another plane and met him in the ''burial immortal ancient domain''," lie feng semi divine continued, "at that time, he had just become a demigod. we adventured together for several years, forming a deep friendship before returning to our respective civilizations."


    "teacher, what is this burial immortal ancient domain?" li yuan asked, unable to help his curiosity.


    he had never heard of such a place!


    "with your talent and strength, once you reach the flying heaven level, you will naturally understand. dongfang ji knows more about it than i do," lie feng semi divine said with a faint smile, "decades after parting with dongfang ji, about eighty years ago... my home civilization was invaded by the myriad demons civilization."


    "the myriad demons civilization?" li yuan held his breath.


    experience tales at empire


    this civilization was also the greatest enemy of the seven star civilization, having tried many times to invade but were always repelled.


    "your seven star civilization is strong enough to have withstood several invasions from the myriad demons civilization," lie feng semi divine said slowly, a trace of sorrow on his face that he quickly concealed, "but our civilization was not strong enough... our entire civilization was completely destroyed, dozens of demigods were slaughtered, most of the surviving tribespeople were killed, and the rest became servants."


    li yuan''s heart trembled.


    although he had known some of these facts about his teacher lie feng, hearing them from him... was a different feeling altogether.


    feixing had also suffered a similar catastrophe, with billions perishing.


    "i was certain to die... but it was dongfang ji who saved me," lie feng semi divine explained, "after that, i stayed on feixing, taking the role of what is called a ''guest demigod''. however, over these decades, in truth, they haven''t asked me to do much."


    "teaching you was the first thing dongfang ji asked me to do, and i shall do it diligently," lie feng semi divine said, looking at li yuan, "of course, you are exceptionally outstanding."


    li yuan completely understood the reasons now.


    "i still have many things to do, so i don''t have too many treasures to give you," lie feng semi divine said softly, waving his hand.


    whirrr~


    several green crystal stones emitting a strange light suddenly floated in front of li yuan, all the size of a fist and looking very mysterious.


    "what are these?" li yuan asked, holding his breath.


    "these are inheritance stones, which contain a vast amount of information. i have prepared nine of them," lie feng semi divine explained, "one of them contains the insights from my lifetime of cultivation, which you can refer to and learn from, but as always... personal cultivation is unique, and others'' experiences and insights can only serve as a reference."


    "disciple understands," li yuan nodded.


    "the other eight contain one star technique each, either cultivated by me or collected by me," lie feng semi divine continued, "among them, the three most core ones are the seventh layers star technique ''nine shadows clone'', the fifth layers star technique ''shadow division technique'', and the fifth layers star technique ''wind feather''."


    li yuan listened attentively.


    "ultimately, you are centered on the earth vein, and you certainly won''t cultivate many wind vein star techniques," lie feng semi divine said, "considering the way you fight... i would advise that for the wind vein, you should only cultivate up to two types of star techniques."


    "one type is the shadow clone, which once sufficiently cultivated, will allow your deployed phantom bodies to truly contain combat power, making it easier to execute... the other is an escaping technique," lie feng semi divine explained.


    "thank you, teacher, for your guidance," li yuan said respectfully.


    it aligned perfectly with his own thoughts.


    no matter whether adventuring or engaging in battle and slaughter, preserving one''s life is always of the utmost importance; therefore, learning escaping techniques is essential.


    the many star techniques left behind by the ancient torch divine included the escaping technique "light transformation," which is an extremely strong seventh layer star technique.


    "as for the other treasures,"


    "i once traded with dongfang ji... the remaining seven stars points left in the seven star treasury, i have transferred them all to you," smiled lie feng semi divine. "it''s not much, just about twenty thousand seven stars points."


    li yuan was stunned.


    this is not much?


    twenty thousand seven stars points! that would drive many flying heaven warriors mad with desperation.


    but upon considering the strength of his teacher, lie feng... li yuan came to terms with it.


    this is a demi-god peak powerhouse after all.


    yet, a flicker of unease crossed li yuan''s mind. all transferred to himself? does the teacher need nothing at all? what is he about to do?


    "li yuan, this is all i can help you with. go back to seven star mountain," lie feng semi divine slowly said. "the strong are refined through countless battles."


    "according to my observations, you must be very close to awakening the six star pulse, and with your talent, you have a solid chance of challenging the seven star veins. in any case, try to reach the limit of a prime warrior before breaking through... in all your future life-and-death struggles, you must be careful," lie feng semi divine couldn''t help but add a few more words.


    "disciple understands," li yuan bowed respectfully and said, "if i wish to see you in the future, teacher, where should i look for you?"


    "if it''s fated, we will meet again."


    ...


    he watched as li yuan turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the thick fog and fierce winds above the sea.


    lie feng semi divine sighed softly in his heart.


    he was very aware that it would probably be difficult for them to meet again in this lifetime.


    before long.


    buzz~ an invisible fluctuation enveloped the world as a powerful will descended upon this region of the sea.


    lie feng semi divine''s eyebrows lifted.


    he has arrived.


    he was well aware that it was not his true body that had come, but his consciousness descending from tens of thousands of miles away through the high realm.


    "dongfang," lie feng semi divine took the initiative to speak.


    "you''re really determined to venture into the burial immortal ancient domain again? the time has not yet come, and if you venture deeply into it, even i am not confident of coming out alive," a robust voice echoed in the void.


    "i am nearing the end of my lifespan, and there has been no sign of any breakthrough. waiting any longer would spell certain death," lie feng semi divine spoke calmly. "by venturing, there is at least a sliver of a chance for life."


    "fine, since you''ve made up your mind, i won''t persuade you further," the robust voice said.


    "the few tens of thousands of seven stars points that i have left, just transfer them to li yuan," lie feng semi divine said with a laugh. "i was delighted to take him as my disciple... yet i couldn''t give him much, nor could i fulfill the responsibilities of a master fully, let it be some compensation then."


    "you''ve done more than enough," the robust voice said. "the grace of leading one onto the path exceeds heaven... the path of the strong is one they must strive for themselves. giving too much can, in fact, take away their drive and do more harm than good."


    it was clear that the two held different philosophies on how to nurture their disciples and successors.


    "let''s not argue over such matters," lie feng semi divine shook his head. "can i come to you in three days?"


    "you can."


    "as friends, i will see you off one last time, but i can only wish you good luck," the robust voice responded.


    ...


    hu!


    li yuan was enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow glow.


    he transformed into a beam of light traveling through the heavens and the earth.


    when he was on the island, the sky was incredibly gloomy, with dense clouds, but as he soared above ten thousand meters in altitude, he was instead surrounded by a radiant splendor.


    "to fly in the sky and burrow in the earth, indeed it''s comfortable," he remarked.


    he had just parted ways with his teacher, and there was a hint of sorrow in li yuan''s heart... but he was able to pick up and let go easily, quickly suppressing that thought.


    "although teacher lie feng is nearing the end of his lifespan, after all, he is a semi divine, and he should still have some years left to live," li yuan mused to himself. "once my strength is even greater, i will surely see him again."


    not long after.


    "east pole continent," said li yuan as he crossed the vast ocean and already gazed down at the vast land below, densely packed with numerous towns.


    occasionally, he could see flying vehicles shuttling in the high sky. s§×arch* the ¦Çovelfire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    the east pole continent was the main continent on feixing, with a population of nearly twenty billion, incredibly thriving.


    "hm?" li yuan''s smart ring vibrated slightly, signaling that he had received a message.


    "twenty-seven thousand seven stars points have been transferred to my name?" li yuan thought to himself.


    the efficiency is indeed high!


    with his high level of access, li yuan''s smart ring was also specially made, allowing him to stay in contact anywhere on the seven great planets, whether high in the sky or deep in mountain valleys¡ªunimpeded communication was always possible.


    guided by the map,


    after nearly four hours, li yuan flew tens of thousands of kilometers in one go and finally saw the towering and colossal war fortress at the edge of the land from afar.


    it was the entrance to the martial divine star realm.


    hu!


    li yuan descended rapidly, passing through several open-air checkpoints... his identity information had been automatically verified, enabling him to pass through smoothly.


    he arrived at the base of the war fortress,


    and landed lightly on the plaza outside the star realm corridor. several flying vehicles were docked, but there weren''t many people coming and going.


    however, li yuan had already noticed that many were looking at him.


    "flying, that''s a flying heaven warrior!"


    "but the feeling he gives me isn''t quite right; the pressure of his life force doesn''t seem to be that strong."


    "could it be a top prodigy from the seven star mountain?" many officers and warriors in the distance were discussing in whispers.


    they might have been ordinary in terms of strength, but they were accustomed to super-powerful warriors passing through the entrance to the martial divine star realm year-round.


    it was only because li yuan was somewhat unfamiliar that he sparked discussions.


    suddenly.


    "li yuan?" a slightly surprised voice came from the entrance of a meeting room in the distance.


    li yuan instantly turned to look, a flash of surprise in his eyes, "dean hai?"


    that''s right.


    the figure standing at the doorway of the distant meeting room, dressed in a blue robe, was none other than dean hai of kunlun martial university.


    at this moment, he was staring at li yuan with a face full of surprise.


    and behind dean hai, through the glass of the meeting room, one could see eight or nine young figures, all looking at him with curiosity and awe.


    "it really is li yuan!"


    "i remember him, i saw him in person at last year''s virtual battle," someone remarked.


    "just now, li yuan descended from the sky, flying? has he become a flying heaven warrior?" the young people were discussing quietly amongst themselves, excited expressions on their faces.


    their exchanges, with li yuan''s powerful perception ability, were easily overheard by him.


    hu!


    dean hai moved swiftly and was already in front of li yuan, looking him up and down and couldn''t help saying, "did you just fly in from outside?"


    "dean, you should be able to sense that i am not yet a flying heaven warrior," li yuan said with a smile. "it''s just that i had the good fortune to gather the true meaning of earth, allowing me to use it to fly."


    he would naturally not divulit the fact that he had gathered the true intent of his own accord, but since dean hai had seen him, there was no need to hide it, because it would be quickly revealed either way.


    "you''ve gathered the true intent?" dean hai''s eyes flickered with shock. "you''re not yet 20 years old, right?"


    li yuan nodded; he was still two months away from being 20.


    "a prime warrior with true intent and under 20 years of age?" dean hai felt even more shocked inside.


    he knew what this meant.


    li yuan smiled, aware of what dean hai was thinking.


    if he knew that li yuan had gathered the true intent at under 19 years of age, he probably would have been dumbfounded.


    "dean, are you here at the martial divine star realm for business?" li yuan asked, puzzled.


    "oh, this year''s global martial arts competition for colleges has just concluded," dean hai pointed to the nine figures in the distance, "them, they''re the young prodigies chosen this year by the blue star to enter the martial divine hall... i''m following the principal''s arrangement, responsible for escorting them here."


    "the new crop of prodigies for the martial divine hall?"


    "martial divine hall newcomers?" li yuan couldn''t help but look toward the nine figures in the distance. under the inquiry of the divine palace, their physical quality was at most level 25.


    li yuan felt somewhat nostalgic for a moment.


    time really does pass quickly.


    by age, li yuan was probably younger than them, but in his eyes... they all seemed like youngsters.


    "besides that,"


    "it''s also hosting duties," continued dean hai. "after the war mission for the xia country is announced, we''ll try to recruit more members from the seven star mountain to return with us."

    ```"xia country''s war mission?" li yuan''s eyes revealed a look of surprise, "the mingxu star realm?"


    studying under teacher lie feng for a year, li yuan hadn''t been oblivious to the outside world.


    he occasionally paid attention to major events within the seven star civilization.


    he frequently communicated with many friends through v-chat, and chatted in various v-groups such as ''seven star mountain top layer exchange group,'' ''xia country palace friends group,'' ''2044 blue star group,'' among about a dozen others.


    some groups were large, some small.


    li yuan didn''t like to speak up, but he enjoyed lurking. dantai feng, for example, loved to post and often forwarded a message to many groups at once.


    thus, li yuan was aware of many things.


    to his knowledge, over the past year, the most intense warfare that the seven star civilization had engaged in externally was in the mingxu star realm.


    read exclusive adventures at empire


    the mingxu star realm had several entry and exit points.


    but so far, the main focus had been on expanding through two entry points along xia country, which were the number three outpost base that li yuan had once visited, and another, the number four outpost base.


    top-tier geniuses from seven star mountain like yu jinghe, wu manong, tavares, had already joined the battle.


    it''s important to note that there are only about thirty true intent prime warriors in the entirety of seven star mountain, and over ten have already joined the war... the activity is even greater than during the fierce feather star realm period.


    after all, among the true intent prime warriors, some need to practice in peace, and some are not too fond of life-and-death battles... having over ten participate in the war was the result of xia country paying a significant price and the push from the alliance''s higher-ups. sea??h th§× n??efire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    all forces within the seven star civilization hope to carve out a new region for expansion.


    the rich resources of the mingxu star realm are indeed tantalizing.


    "not the mingxu star realm, it''s the rob sea star realm," dean hai sighed lightly, "a large-scale war has erupted again, even more fierce and brutal than the one more than two years ago."


    "the rob sea star realm?" li yuan''s pupils contracted slightly.


    this was a realm too familiar to him, having heard about it from childhood... and the war from two years ago mentioned by dean hai was precisely the one that had injured his uncle.


    "how did i not know?" li yuan wondered.


    "alerts were only initiated yesterday, and while the attacks from the cloud beast civilization are massive, the decisive battle hasn''t yet arrived, so the news has only spread within a small area of xia country," dean hai explained.


    li yuan nodded understandingly; indeed, information spread much slower between different planets.


    "is the pressure that high now?" li yuan asked.


    ordinary star realm wars can be resolved by the stationed forces, but if a war mission is issued from seven star mountain... it means local forces are insufficient, and full alliance support is necessary.


    especially wars in a second level star realm, when true intent prime warriors join the battle, it often signifies the most brutal and bloody phase.


    "quite high."


    "the main issue is that too many forces were previously pulled from the rob sea due to the outbreak of war in the mingxu star realm," dean hai lamented, "i''m not a military commander, after all, and i don''t have the details... once the war mission is dispatched, there will be a detailed explanation, and you should be informed."


    "i understand," li yuan responded with a slight nod.


    then, li yuan looked again at the figures in the distance heading to the conference room, "dean, why haven''t you entered the martial divine star realm yet?"


    "we''re still waiting for the flying heaven warriors within the martial divine star realm to come and verify identities," dean hai shook his head, "the martial divine star realm isn''t so easy to enter."


    li yuan was taken aback, recalling last year.


    it seemed like the president had just gone straight in... semi-divine level authority is indeed different.


    having been in the martial divine star realm for so long, li yuan had roughly understood that fang hai''s status was likely half a rank higher than most flying heaven warriors... essentially equivalent to a demigod.


    flying heaven warriors were generally divided into four strength levels.


    flying heaven at level 30 and 31 were considered ordinary. most who remain at this stage were only at perfection in fifth stage skill... with too weak skills and slow progress in polishing the origin pill, advancing further was difficult.


    level 32, 33, and 34 were often deemed mid-stage flying heaven. those who stayed at this stage for a long time were usually consolidating true intent.


    above level 35 was the peak of flying heaven... to refine an origin pill to such a level, skill comprehension was already very profound, reaching at least intermediate rank or high rank sixth stage skill.


    level 36? also the peak of flying heaven, but comes with the position of a star master, and one must have at least six star pulses awakened to achieve level 36.


    the difference between level 35 and 36 is more in the foundation than in strength.


    without doubt.


    fang hai was among the most elite of all flying heaven star masters... because his skill comprehension was already quite good even among demigods.


    like most true intent prime warriors on seven star mountain, the majority of them would ultimately plateau at the peak of flying heaven stage, with only a few breaking through to the level 40 demigod.


    "li yuan, you really shouldn''t take up this rob sea war mission," dean hai suddenly said.


    "oh? why is that?" li yuan asked.


    "although you''ve already condensed true intent, i''m afraid it hasn''t been long since your breakthrough." dean hai looked at li yuan, saying, "many star techniques are likely not perfected... your strength has not yet grown to its peak, there''s no need to rashly join the battle."


    li yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    obviously, in dean hai''s eyes, his strength was still far from sufficient. and being a thorn in the side to many hostile alien races, he would risk perishing if he joined the battle.


    "dean, i will carefully consider it when the war mission comes. i''m going back now, contact me if there''s anything," li yuan said with a smile.


    "alright, go on."


    ...watching as li yuan disappeared into the star realm portal.


    for a moment, dean hai was lost in thought, then he sighed softly after a long while, "li yuan has already condensed true intent?"


    dean hai felt it was almost dreamlike.


    it had only been a year since they last met.


    considering his age, li yuan had only just entered his junior year... on blue star, reaching fifth stage skill at this age would be considered top-tier genius.

 Chapter 279 Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)_2

    Had Li Yuan already condensed the True Intent?The difference was too great.


    This time, among the nine new Martial Divine Hall members selected from Blue Star, only one was younger than Li Yuan.


    "His speed in condensing True Intent is even faster than Old Fang," thought Dean Hai with a tinge of expectation, "Could it be that my Kunlun Martial University will, after another decade or two, give birth to another Demigod?"


    In the history of Kunlun Martial University, numerous geniuses had emerged, especially before Starfire University, Starry Sky University, and Black Stone University were founded...giving rise to a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But since the establishment of the university up to now, only one Demigod has been born¡ªDongfang Ji.


    After all, up to this day, only three Demigods have been born throughout Xia Country.


    "Is that Senior Li Yuan who just left, Dean Hai?"


    "Yes, it is!" sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Is he the Li Yuan who entered the Martial Divine Star Realm last year? Has he already condensed Heavenly Earth True Intent?" The nine Blue Star talents had just walked out of the meeting room and stood behind Dean Hai, unable to help themselves but to ask.


    Just now, they had watched Li Yuan flying down. Find adventures on empire


    "When you enter the Martial Divine Star Realm, you will naturally understand," said Dean Hai with a smile, not intentionally concealing the truth.


    Many so-called secret reports are relative.


    Many pieces of information that are secrets to ordinary Prime Warriors may be common knowledge to Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ...


    The day after returning to Seven Star Mountain.


    Li Yuan held a banquet in the only tavern in the Martial Divine Star Realm, celebrating the end of his ''Concealed Cultivation.''


    He invited many close friends.


    People like Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Alicia, Kross, Yan Jing, and others received invitations; the number of people wasn''t large, only a dozen or so.


    Some were members of Seven Star Mountain, like Yan Jing.


    But most were still just ordinary members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Before the banquet began, everyone was already chatting with each other.


    "Alicia, it''s rare for you to come," Dantai Feng said with a smile, "I''ve held many banquets before and you were always too lazy to attend... Only when Li Yuan returns to the Martial Divine Star Realm are you willing to come."


    "I don''t like socializing, I can''t always be eating your food," Alicia responded with bright eyes and a smile.


    A year had passed, and her demeanor became more and more extraordinary.


    Her blonde hair cascaded down, and her bright eyes were like tranquil autumn waters, attracting everyone''s gaze.


    If the past Alicia was already outstanding in appearance, now she had stepped up a level, the entirety of her being faintly exuded an inexplicable charm that made you feel she was more entrancing with every look.


    "Don''t believe Dantai Feng."


    Next to her, Tian Dazhuang grinned and said, "Every time he holds a banquet, it''s because he has made a breakthrough in strength, hosts a banquet when he becomes a Prime Warrior, hosts a banquet when his skills reach the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank... he only wants to show off."


    "Wait until he becomes an elite member, he''ll probably invite several hundred people from the Martial Divine Hall to boast properly," laughed Tian Dazhuang.


    "Dazhuang," Dantai Feng glared at him.


    "Haha," all the people in the hall laughed out loud, after being together for so long, everyone understood each other''s temperament very well.


    Li Yuan watched all this with a smile.


    In the past few years, as his realm and strength had soared rapidly, becoming stronger and stronger, his communication with many good friends from high school and university, like Li Tianyou and Gu Qianghan, had become less and less.


    It was hard to even contact them once every six months, and they had fewer topics in common.


    Even with family members like his uncles and aunts, communications were occasional, just to ask if they were well... but they also had fewer and fewer common topics.


    This was the price of growth.


    It was an inevitable eventuality.


    Even now, people like Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and Jin Huguo, although their strengths were far behind Li Yuan, if there was a chance, Li Yuan still very much enjoyed the times spent joyfully with his friends.


    This group of friends.


    In the year they entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, although their growth rate couldn''t compare to Li Yuan''s...their actual progress was not small, their skills had at least stepped into the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank, and their Physical Quality had also improved greatly.


    It was foreseeable that in a few more years, they would all become extremely powerful Top Grade Origin Martial Artists.


    And among this group of people... the one who truly grew the fastest was not Dantai Feng, but Alicia.


    Her skills, unbeknownst to others, had already reached the Fifth Stage High Rank and even surpassed Yin Man.


    Her Physical Quality had also reached level 26.


    This rate of progression was astonishing even among the members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Without Li Yuan, Alicia would undoubtedly become a rising new star within the Martial Divine Hall.


    "Could it be, I was wrong in my previous assumptions?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "Is the one with the greatest potential in this group not Dazhuang, but Alicia?"


    As for Tian Dazhuang, his skill level was quickly catching up to that of Dantai Feng... but compared to Alicia, it was still much slower.


    "Brother Yan Jing,"


    Li Yuan looked at Yan Jing, who was sitting aside, and smiled, "I''ve heard from quite a few people that Brother has successfully condensed True Intent? Congratulations."


    This was a piece of news Li Yuan had seen in a V-group.


    "Ah," Yan Jing was startled at first, then smiled and said, "It was just a fluke, a fluke to have condensed True Intent."


    "What?"


    "Yan Jing brother has actually condensed True Intent?"


    "Awesome! He must be the second True Intent Origin Martial Artist to emerge from Seven Star Mountain this year."


    "Yes, Bertman recently made a breakthrough," someone added.


    "To achieve Heavenly Earth True Intent, how difficult it is, Brother Yan is only in his thirties," the group who were originally chatting exploded with conversation, their eyes revealing envy.


    They were not very familiar with Yan Jing to begin with; only Jin Huguo and Yan Jing communicated more.


    After all, there was an age difference, and they weren''t familiar in the past.


    But condensing True Intent was completely different... it meant standing among the strongest cohort in Seven Star Mountain.


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, only a few True Intent Origin Martial Artists were born each year, and each one was extraordinary.


    As everyone was congratulating Yan Jing,


    Suddenly,


    Whoosh!


    A figure clad in a fiery red robe appeared at the entrance of the hall: "Li Yuan, sorry for the delay, I am late."

 Chapter 279 Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Unity)_3

    Instantly, many eyes were drawn to the figure.Dressed in a fiery red robe, with long hair fluttering, the entire person seemed like life in full bloom, not in an alluring way, but an unabashed display of vitality and energy.


    "So beautiful."


    "This!"


    "I haven''t seen her before." Almost everyone fell silent, holding their breath as they gazed at the newcomer.


    Subconsciously, many couldn''t help but compare her to Alicia.


    You should know.


    In the previous year, Alicia had almost become recognized as the number one beauty in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    As martial artists improve their Life Level, their skin, hair, muscles, and bones constantly transform, becoming exceptionally lovely... but that intrinsic aura and temperament are hard to change.


    Upon comparison, people realized.


    The two were simply at opposite extremes, one as fiery as flames, the other as gentle as water.


    "Lanyue, you''ve arrived." Li Yuan stood up, revealing a hint of a smile, "Come, have a seat."


    "Lanyue? Is it Lin Lanyue?"


    "Her?" Those like Kross, Si Feng, and Alicia who had participated in the Fierce Feather Star Realm immediately understood who she was.


    "Lin Lanyue, you''ve also joined the Martial Divine Star Realm?" Tian Dazhuang, who was sitting to the side, laughed, "If I remember correctly, you and Li Yuan were high school classmates, right? Back then, your relationship seemed quite special."


    "Yes, high school classmates." Lin Lanyue replied with a slight smile, her voice clear and full of vitality.


    At that time, the three of them had all attended the special invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University.


    Therefore, Tian Dazhuang also had some impression of Lin Lanyue.


    "High school classmates?"


    "Did Li Yuan just call her Lanyue?"


    "These two?" Many immediately sensed something was amiss.


    For top talents like them, for a single high school to have produced two, it was almost impossible.


    Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue''s relationship, their way of addressing each other... it was hard not to let one''s thoughts run wild.


    People like Kross, Si Feng, and Dantai Feng couldn''t help but glance towards Alicia; they knew her better privately and could vaguely guess Alicia''s feelings for Li Yuan.


    "Everyone, listen to me."


    "I would like to introduce Lin Lanyue, from Blue Star Xia Country; she was specially invited to join the Martial Divine Hall a few days ago." Li Yuan said with a smile, "I hope everyone will have more interaction in the future."


    Lin Lanyue also nodded with a smile towards everyone.


    "What?"


    "Specially invited?" Everyone was somewhat surprised, especially talents like Dantai Feng with deep backgrounds and high awareness of the difficulty of being specially invited.


    Alicia also looked on with a smile.


    "Alicia, your rival has come, and I''m certain she has her sights set on Li Yuan." A youthful voice echoed in Alicia''s mind, "Moreover, I sense a very unpleasant aura on her... the aura of a True Phoenix. She must have awakened the True Phoenix Bloodline, and I''m afraid it''s close to pureblood."


    "True Phoenix?" Alicia responded in confusion.


    "A kind of Divine Beast." The youthful voice said, "An adult can become a Divine Being."


    "Although she''s not pureblood, having such a rich bloodline will give her an astonishing affinity with the Fire element, making her a potential Demigod."


    "I suspect that the World within Worlds we encountered before was left by a Divine Level True Phoenix, and this little one called Lin Lanyue has received the Divine Being Inheritance." The youthful voice continued, "That''s why she has been specially invited to join."


    A potential Demigod? Divine Being Inheritance? Alicia was inwardly shocked, knowing what this implied.


    "Li Yuan is so outstanding, isn''t it normal for her to like him?" Alicia said calmly, "It just proves my own good judgment."


    "Aren''t you worried you won''t be able to compete?" The youthful voice teased.


    "Love isn''t something you can fight over." Alicia replied calmly, "Besides, cultivation is the foundation."


    "I do like Li Yuan, but becoming a Divine Being is my ultimate goal."


    "Haha, that''s more like it." The youthful voice laughed, "Once you''re a Demigod, becoming a Divine Being... you''ll naturally understand that love and affection are just embellishments in your long life."


    However, what the youthful voice couldn''t see was the resolute gleam that flashed deep within Alicia''s eyes.


    ...

    Two hours later, the banquet ended.


    People bid their farewells to Li Yuan and left one after another. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lin Lanyue stayed till the end.


    Numerous service robots cleaned up the entire banquet hall... Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue also stepped out of the restaurant and came to the plaza outside, where a gentle breeze was blowing, quite comfortably.


    "Lanyue, congratulations on your apprenticeship." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Having gained the approval of the Boundary Spirit, your progress must be substantial."


    Li Yuan had long employed Divine Palace Inquiry, confirming that Lin Lanyue''s Physical Quality had reached level 23.


    "It was also luck that I managed to endure six Fire Refining Nirvana trials, which fully awakened my bloodline, leading to this progress." Lin Lanyue laughed, not concealing anything and recounted her experiences in the Hall of Inheritance.


    First, because Li Yuan himself is the successor to an Earth System Divine Being Inheritance.


    Secondly, Lin Lanyue trusted Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    When he heard Lin Lanyue speak calmly about the torturous pain of ''Fire Refining Nirvana,''


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but glance at Lin Lanyue, unable to detect any emotional fluctuations on her face... Lin Lanyue talked as if she was recounting someone else''s pain.


    For the first time, Li Yuan felt a strong conviction in Lin Lanyue''s heart.


    No one could go through such an ordeal without a powerful belief to sustain them.


    "Li Yuan, to you and many others, I must seem like one of those exceedingly lucky people." Lin Lanyue suddenly smiled.


    "What do you mean?" asked Li Yuan.


    "My mother is an elder of the Blazing Flame Family in the Flying Heaven Realm." Lin Lanyue said with a smile, "My father is also a Flying Heaven Warrior... As a youngster, my talent wasn''t considered high, but with my parents'' support, my cultivation speed was decent... later, in my senior year of high school, I was lucky to awaken a trace of the True Phoenix Bloodline, eventually relying on my bloodline to become a named disciple of a Divine Being."

 Chapter 279 Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Unity)_4

    "It seems like it''s all due to good luck," Lin Lanyue said with a smile.Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh, "Be it bloodline or fate, so-called luck is indeed a part of cultivation."


    Lucky?


    Would you say that awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was a stroke of good luck?


    Would someone like Principal Fang Hai, with his exceptional talent, be considered lucky?


    "My mother was the youngest Flying Heaven Warrior and the one with the purest bloodline in the Blazing Flame Family," Lin Lanyue''s eyes flashed with a tinge of reminiscence, "She was originally arranged by the family to marry another elder... to produce an offspring with an even purer bloodline."


    "But my mother fell in love with my father, who was just a Prime Warrior at the time."


    "They married in secret and had my older brother, which infuriated the Blazing Flame Family, but they couldn''t stop it... Later, shortly after I was born, my mother was gravely injured in a major battle and returned to Blazing Flame City to recuperate," Lin Lanyue said, "But my older brother, my second brother, and I, none of us awakened the True Phoenix Bloodline... which left the Blazing Flame Family thoroughly disappointed, and they used her recovery as an excuse to imprison my mother and prevent our family from reuniting."


    "Even after my father later became a Flying Heaven Warrior, it didn''t change the Blazing Flame Family''s decision," Lin Lanyue said somberly.


    Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully.


    He understood why the Blazing Flame Family made such a decision.


    For a family like that, the interests of the clan outweighed the individual''s.


    If two Flying Heaven Warriors with pure bloodlines were to marry, it could potentially give rise to several more Flying Heaven Warriors for the family... and even produce an offspring who meets the requirements for a Divine Being Inheritance.


    You see, the original intention of the Demigod who founded the Blazing Flame Family in Flame City was to produce an offspring with a bloodline that meets the Boundary Spirit''s requirements.


    If a Flying Heaven Elder breaks the clan rules without facing any punishment, how could they command the respect of their fellow clanspeople?


    "My father was off at war all year round, and my older brothers commenced their own lives once they grew up," Lin Lanyue said calmly, "Originally, my father wanted to send me to the city to study, but I didn''t want to go and stayed in the Guan Mountain District."


    "After all, that''s where all my childhood memories are."


    Li Yuan immediately recalled Gu Qianghan mentioning that Lin Lanyue had been living on her own since elementary school. (Chapter 61)


    Perhaps her living conditions were also quite comfortable.


    But Lin Lanyue''s heart must have been very lonely.


    "So from a young age, you''ve worked hard and endured the Blazing Flame Family''s rigorous training, the numerous trials and torments in World within Worlds, all to reunite your family?" Li Yuan said softly.


    He knew that Lin Lanyue had always trained hard, although not quite keeping up with his ''24-hour'' training. (Chapter 98)


    "Right."


    "But this goal was achieved the moment my father became a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, and I awakened my bloodline," Lin Lanyue said, "My mother was then released and reinstated as an elder."


    Li Yuan nodded in realization.


    Indeed, he was unaware of these secrets.


    "When I first entered World within Worlds, I quietly vowed that once I became a disciple of a Divine Being, and later a Demigod who would take control of the Blazing Flame Family, I would sweep away all the archaic and bad customs of the family," Lin Lanyue''s eyes were resolute, and her voice filled with conviction.


    Li Yuan now understood.


    This, most likely, was Lin Lanyue''s inner obsession, supporting her every step of the way up to today.


    Awakening her bloodline was her luck.


    But without this conviction, she could never have overcome so many obstacles to reach a complete Transformation.


    "The hardest times are already behind you; I believe you''ll definitely become a Demigod," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Li Yuan, thank you," Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan with a grateful smile, "for being willing to listen to me ramble for so long."


    "It''s been bottled up for so long; now that I''ve said it, I feel much better."


    ...


    Li Yuan watched Lin Lanyue depart on a flying vehicle.

    "Everyone has their own pursuit."


    "Having an obsession, a pursuit, and persevering in it makes one more likely to achieve great success," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Immediately after, a hint of determination appeared in his eyes, "I need to perfect my Star Technique as soon as possible, so I can set off for the Rob Sea Star Realm." S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just then.


    Li Yuan had received detailed instructions and requirements regarding the ''Rob Sea Star Realm guard mission.''


    After briefly reviewing the details,


    Li Yuan made his decision¡ªto accept the mission.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan shot into the sky, soaring toward the undulating mountain range above.


    This scene was immediately witnessed by many members of the Martial Divine Hall who had just come out of the lecture buildings.


    "Flying?"


    "It''s a True Intent Prime Warrior!"


    "How do I see it, it appears to be Li Yuan?" These Martial Divine Hall members were somewhat shocked.


    Li Yuan had a significant reputation in the Martial Divine Star Realm, completely on par with Lude Nef, and perhaps even more renowned.


    Rapidly,


    ''Li Yuan has condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth'' spread like a hurricane among the thousands of Martial Divine Hall members.

 Chapter 280 The Power of Li Yuan! Star Technique Cultivation (Request for Monthly Pass)

    News of Li Yuan''s condensation of the true intent of heaven and earth spread wildly in the Martial Divine Star Realm."Li Yuan has broken through?"


    "Condensing true intent? How old is he? He''s only a little behind Bertman, right?"


    "Hard to say. When he climbed Seven Star Mountain, his strength was much stronger than Bertman. Maybe he broke through even earlier and just never leaked the news." The discussions were rife.


    Especially for Dantai Feng, Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Yan Jing, and the others, they were even more astonished because they had just been at a gathering, congratulating Yan Jing on condensing the true intent of heaven and earth.


    They never expected that in just a short while, news of Li Yuan''s breakthrough would come, making them feel a bit strange.


    During the banquet, Li Yuan hadn''t revealed a thing.


    However, regardless, over a thousand members of the Martial Divine Hall already knew.


    Li Yuan, this peerless genius who set the youngest record on Seven Star Mountain, had, after one year, once again made the record of ''the youngest true intent Origin Warrior in the Seven Star Civilization'', firmly standing at the peak ranks of Seven Star Mountain.


    The members of the Martial Divine Hall vaguely divided into four levels: ordinary disciples, elite disciples, ordinary Seven Star Mountain members, and true intent Origin Warriors.


    Elite disciples usually compare favorably with the top-grade Origin Martial Artists of the outside world, and are even stronger.


    Ordinary Seven Star Mountain members at least, reach the threshold of Fifth Stage Perfection in skill realm, and possess the strength of a Flying Heaven Warrior, just without the ability to fly.


    There were about thirty true intent Origin Warriors in total. Each of them could fly and escape through the earth, with every one being able to suppress an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior. The more powerful among them could even kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, and now Li Yuan belonged to this level.


    At the pinnacle stood, first Lude Nef and now Yu Jinghe.


    Both of them had proven through action that they had the power to contend against a group of ordinary Flying Heavens single-handedly.


    ...


    In the villa mansion on Seven Star Mountain.


    "These guys." Li Yuan looked at the messages being passed around by more than a dozen people in the group, all talking about him becoming a true intent Origin Warrior.


    He closed the V chat.


    He calmed down for a while.


    "The Rob Sea war has caused heavy casualties, and many from Xia Country are heading there to reinforce." Li Yuan suddenly recalled seeing the detailed introduction to the battle situation a moment ago, and a surge of nameless anger arose in his heart.


    Defending the homeland had been his ideal since childhood.


    Due to his uncle''s incident, his hatred for the Alien Race deep in the Rob Sea Star Realm intensified, and he had once sworn that one day he would enter deep into the Rob Sea Star Realm for revenge.


    Now, with the outbreak of a new round of war, Li Yuan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.


    He decided to take action.


    This was also a form of real combat training.


    "Big Brother Yu, Wu Manong, and the others are trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm." Li Yuan thought silently: "If I don''t act, probably only one or two true intent Origin Warriors from Seven Star Mountain will accept the mission to go. It might not be enough to win this battle."


    The Rob Sea war might seem fierce, but as it didn''t touch upon the foundation of the Seven Star Alliance, the higher-ups of the alliance wouldn''t make demands, leaving it entirely up to the geniuses of Seven Star Mountain to volunteer for the war.


    "If I join the battle, once the news leaks, I fear it will prompt the top talents of the Tianliang Clan to make a move, seeking to kill me." Li Yuan contemplated, a glint in his eyes: "Then, I must reach my current limit of strength as much as possible."


    Hum~


    The smart ring vibrated, and Li Yuan couldn''t help but look down.


    "Oh? The Martial Divine Hall has changed my Seven Star Mountain ranking to 32nd?" Li Yuan mused, receiving a notice from the highest level of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Over the past year, he had been following Lie Feng Semi Divine in his cultivation and hadn''t participated in any missions. Without anyone knowing his true strength, naturally, his ranking wouldn''t rise.


    "32nd?" Li Yuan thought to himself, scanning the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 29.9 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 1,002,200 kilograms


    Speed: 420 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 36.9


    Willpower: 36


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 45% (current upper limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: Five-Star Meridian (10 Layers+6 Layers+5 Layers+5 Layers+4 Layers)


    Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Wind (Fifth Stage 98%), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 3%), Mysteries of Wood (Fifth Stage 2%)


    Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein": First Order Level 9 (9)


    Fifth Layers Star Technique "Stellar Mysterious Body": Second Order Level 5 (10)


    ...


    "My Life Level has long reached the Second Order Limit." Li Yuan thought to himself: "To make my foundational strength stronger, I either have to cultivate a stronger Body Refining Star Technique or break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    But with just five-star meridians and still a bit away from the six-star pulse, Li Yuan naturally would not break through.


    "Reaching the six-star meridian is already so difficult, let alone getting to seven star veins and eight star veins ¨C how much more difficult could that be?" Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    In the past year, apart from deducing and contemplating the mysteries of heaven and earth, Li Yuan had also never relaxed in his visualization method and awakening of star meridians.


    However, awakening star meridians became increasingly difficult as he progressed. Over the year, the five awakened star meridians had indeed grown stronger, with even the weakest reaching the Fourth Layer... yet he had still not formed a new star meridian.


    Of course, Li Yuan wasn''t too anxious.


    Regarding cultivation, whether it was star meridian awakening or growth in spiritual power and many other aspects, it all became more and more difficult as one progressed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, like Lude Nef, it took several years just to reach five-star meridians... then more than a decade to awaken to the level of a six-star pulse.


    In comparison, Li Yuan''s speed of star meridian awakening was already astounding.


    Star meridian awakening is related to one''s inherent star meridian talent, spiritual power, skill prowess, and other factors.


    "If my spiritual power reaches the Semi Divine level, that would significantly enhance my actual combat power." Li Yuan shook his head internally: "It would also speed up the awakening of star meridians, and maybe even bring the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening to 50%, allowing for a second Spiritual Guidance."


    Alas, that was even harder to reach.


    Even with practicing Visualization Method, spiritual power had entered a sort of major bottleneck after the breakthrough at level 36... progress becoming slower and slower.


    The same was true.


    To date, Li Yuan had no clear idea of how much spiritual power was needed to raise the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening... it all remained unknown.


    "Enhancing strength essentially comes down to four aspects: foundation, weapons, skill realm, and star techniques." Li Yuan pondered.


    Skill Realm? In the past year, Li Yuan made astounding progress in the Wind Vein.


    In the aspect of the True Meaning of Earth, it seemed to remain at the Initial Rank of the Sixth Stage, but in reality, he had made tremendous progress, or else he wouldn''t have been able to combine the two Mysteries with each other.


    Even during his perception of the world''s Mysteries, without realizing it, he had already made preliminary entries into the Mysteries of Water and the Mysteries of Wood¡­ but that was merely an entry-level understanding.


    This was all quite normal, as the operation of all things and the Mysteries of the world are inherently a whole.


    According to what Li Yuan knew, for example, a Fire System Semi Divine who had cultivated for hundreds of years, often unknowingly reached Perfection Level of the Fifth Stage in many aspects like the Mystery of Wind, the Mystery of Metal, and so on.


    This is one law leading to the birth of thousands of others.


    However, after Li Yuan had briefly attempted, he confirmed that his talent in the Mysteries of Water and the Mysteries of Wood was quite ordinary and had not deliberately distracted himself with further contemplation... Even with all his confidence, he didn''t believe he could succeed in mastering the four Great Laws concurrently.


    "In terms of skills." S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Unless the True Meaning of Earth steps into the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage, or the Mystery of Wind condenses true intent, a significant change in the short term will be difficult." Li Yuan mused, "Understanding the Mysteries of the world cannot be forced."


    "Only weapons and Star Techniques are left."


    ...


    After pondering for a while.


    "Other Level 29 Origin Warriors can often only cultivate one or two Star Techniques." Li Yuan mused, "But I first cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique making my body''s foundation extremely strong, and the Star Meridians also incredibly powerful, perhaps allowing me to cultivate an additional Star Technique."


    Li Yuan was not entirely sure, he could only try.


    Among the many Star Techniques he had been taught, the one Li Yuan chose was the Fifth Layers Star Technique "Shadow Division Technique."


    There were three reasons.


    First, once he achieved some success in cultivation, it would make his ultimate move ''Shadow Domain'' more terrifying and unpredictable.


    This was Li Yuan''s strongest move; naturally, he wanted to make the strong point even stronger.


    Second, in times of danger, using "Shadow Division Technique" could also serve as a cover, and although not as directly enhancing speed and movement technique like the Fifth Layers Star Technique "Wind Feather", it could play a significant role in saving his life.


    Third, the Fifth Layers Star Technique "Shadow Division Technique" and the Seven Stars Technique "Ninefold Shadow Clone" stem from the same lineage. In the future, as his Star Meridians grow stronger, he would be able to cultivate "Ninefold Shadow Clone" without any obstacles.


    "Even though Star Techniques can be re-cultivated, the deeper one''s practice, the more profound the price to pay for each re-cultivation, and it can also have an impact on the body." Li Yuan thought, "In choosing a Star Technique, one must be extremely careful."


    Other Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors might not care as much.


    After all, for most Flying Heaven Warriors, being able to cultivate a Seventh Layers Star Technique is already very precious.


    But the goal Li Yuan set for himself was to cultivate at least a Seventh Layers Star Technique for each Star Meridian, or to practice ordinary Star Techniques that wouldn''t affect his future.


    Better to have none than to have something flawed.


    ...


    "To cultivate ''Shadow Division Technique'', one method is to rely on oneself, using Origin Power within the body¡­ To cultivate to the First Order Limit it would take a minimum of three months, or as long as six months." Li Yuan was reading the various requirements of this Star Technique, "To cultivate to the Second Order Limit would take between one and three years."


    Three months? Three years?


    "I can''t wait that long." Li Yuan frowned, "I must think of a way to use external objects to assist in cultivation."


    Generally, low-level Star Techniques and common Star Techniques can be cultivated without external objects, but it would require a lot of time.


    However, for high-level Star Techniques, such as "Great Earth Divine Body" and "Ninefold Shadow Clone" and so on, they need a large number of precious and rare treasures... without such treasures, even with Li Yuan''s awakening of the Seventh Layers Star Vein, he could at most slowly cultivate them to the First Order Limit, making them almost impossible to cultivate to the current limit.


    ...


    Virtual network, Starfire Space.


    "53,500 Seven Stars Points?" Li Yuan opened the Seven Star Treasure Vault and looked at his points page, unwittingly revealing a smile.


    There were the 30,000 Seven Stars Points given by the Dean.


    And the 20,000 points gifted by the Semi Divine Lie Feng¡­ for the time being, he was indeed not lacking in points.


    After a quick browse through many vaults.


    "Purchase 30 units of ''Wind Source Marrow'', costing 1,200 Seven Stars Points."


    "Purchase in a short time, enough external treasures to cultivate ''Great Earth Divine Body'' to the Second Order Limit, costing 8,600 Seven Stars Points."


    "Also purchase a set of Third Rank high-quality Battle Garment, among other life-saving items¡­ totaling 2,100 Seven Stars Points." Li Yuan quickly placed his orders.


    Tens of thousands of Seven Stars Points were spent just like that.


    The second Star Meridian was close to awakening to the Seventh Layers, so Li Yuan had to prepare in advance for cultivating "Great Earth Divine Body."


    ...


    Just six hours later, the many treasures Li Yuan needed were urgently sent over, escorted by two Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Also delivered were.


    Six bottles of Divine Spirit Liquid, enough for Li Yuan''s cultivation needs for the next half year.


    ...


    "Let''s begin cultivation." Li Yuan received the many treasures and, without much hesitation, began trying to cultivate the "Shadow Division Technique."


    After a brief try.


    "Haha, as expected, I can enter the threshold." A light flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes; his strong physical foundation indeed allowed him to cultivate more Star Techniques.


    He continued to cultivate patiently.


    ...


    As time passed, three days later.


    In the war base outside of the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside a conference room.


    "Alas."


    "Just as I expected, not many are willing to join the battle." Dean Hai sighed internally, "Only three members from Seven Star Mountain have accepted the mission, and all are ranked after the 50th position."


    Those ranked after 50 were not True Intent Origin Martial Artists, hence not much help in the battle.


    What Dean Hai hoped for was to have True Intent Origin Warriors participate in the battle.


    Suddenly.


    "Hm, two more Seven Star Mountain members have accepted the mission?" Dean Hai suddenly received the notification, "Rank 31? Rank 32?"


    A glimmer of hope crossed his mind, "Are these two, True Intent Origin Warriors?"

 Chapter 281 Arriving at the Rob Sea

    ```Seven Star Mountain, in the Martial Arts Room of the villa residence.


    The Martial Arts Room belonging to Seven Star Mountain members was even more massive compared to those of ordinary and elite members.


    Both the length and width reached one kilometer, and the height was an astonishing 200 meters... Such a vast Martial Arts Room was enough for a Prime Warrior practicing True Intent to cultivate moves.


    Li Yuan was standing in the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    Whoosh!~ Accompanied by an invisible fluctuation, Li Yuan''s figure moved, and instantly he split into two shadows, wearing clothes of identical design, completely indistinguishable to the naked eye.


    Two Li Yuans


    Boom! Boom!


    Both shadows moved at the same time, instantly bursting out with terrifying speed. In a mere blink, they had both dashed hundreds of meters across the ground.


    Immediately after, one of the Li Yuan''s shadows moved again.


    The two shadows instantly became three.


    "This ''Shadow Division Technique'' cultivated to the Second Order Limit is truly astonishing in its effectiveness. It actually allows me to invoke the Mystery of Wind and form two Phantom Bodies in an instant," Li Yuan thought in amazement: "Before I started cultivating, I could hardly form even one Phantom Body."


    The Mystery of Wind has many aspects that one could explore, some of which are inclined towards speed, pursuing extreme Burst Speed.


    Some tend towards ''Shadow Stealth,'' like Lude Nef, who specializes in this path, extremely adept at assassinating his opponents.


    However, from the beginning, Li Yuan was aiming at integrating with the Mysteries of Earth, emphasizing the ''Phantom Body'' aspect of the Mysteries of Wind, sharing similarities with Lude Nef''s path, yet not entirely the same.


    "A normal Fifth Stage Perfection''s comprehension, forming even one Phantom Body is difficult." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile: "Yet with the help of Star Technique, I managed to form two Phantom Bodies."


    "And each Phantom Body possesses a certain degree of attacking power, with even more deceiving qualities," he continued.


    Star Technique, in essence, is about maximizing the potential of one''s body and the comprehension of the mysteries of heaven and earth to make oneself perform at two hundred, or even three hundred percent strength.


    "Combining the Mysteries of Earth and Wind," Li Yuan''s thoughts moved again, invoking the True Meaning of Earth.


    Boom!


    Within a few tens of meters, fine yellow streams of earthy energy formed, as the three Li Yuans in the Domain employed their movement technique, moving unpredictably and with shocking speed.


    "In the Domain, the Phantom Body is like a fish in water," he remarked.


    "On their own, my True Meaning of Earth and Mystery of Wind would not be considered strong among Flying Heaven Warriors," Li Yuan''s eyes flickered with anticipation: "But combined, in terms of pure skill, I should be approaching many Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses."


    "I chose the right path," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The deeper one goes in skill comprehension, the harder it becomes.


    Talented individuals like Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe, young leaders of a generation in the Seven Star Civilization, took over 10 years just to advance the Mysteries of True Intent from Initial Rank of Sixth Stage to the Intermediate Rank.


    During his year following Lie Feng Semi Divine, Li Yuan dedicated most of his effort to the comprehension of the Mystery of Wind. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If he had focused on the comprehension of the Mystery of Earth, with Li Yuan''s training pace, one could say that there was a certain hope to advance the True Meaning of Earth to the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage... but that wasn''t a sure thing either.


    Even if he did break through with the True Meaning of Earth, his overall strength would still be far less than it is now.


    "Combination of Mysteries, has its pros and cons," Li Yuan mused: "But at least for now, combining the two Mysteries of heaven and earth seem to promote each other, the advantages outweighing the disadvantages."


    Whew!


    With a thought, the two Phantom Bodies Li Yuan had manifested dissipated.


    "Hm?"


    "The mission application has been approved?" Li Yuan glanced down at the smart ring on his hand.


    Applying for a mission also needed upper-level approval to qualify to participate in battle.


    "Time to go." Li Yuan quickly packed up his belongings and then headed to the palace exterior.


    Swoosh!


    Turning into a streak of light, he flew toward the entrance to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Not long after.


    After passing through the identity check at the entrance, Li Yuan smoothly entered the passage... Ordinary members of Martial Divine Hall were not allowed to leave at will without permission.


    ...In the wartime base outside.


    Inside a conference room.


    "Haha, Yan Jing, it turns out to be you." Dean Hai laughed: "I was guessing who had taken the mission, never would have thought it was you."


    "I must also congratulate you on successfully condensing True Intent," Dean Hai laughingly continued: "To become a True Intent Prime Warrior, you''re among the elite in the Martial Divine Star Realm, no doubt stronger than me in the future, and the school will be proud of you."


    "The student dares not," Yan Jing laughed: "I can only say I haven''t disgraced the school."


    "The student also didn''t expect, Dean Hai, that it would be you coming to pick us up," he added.


    Apart from Li Yuan, Yan Jing and Jin Huguo have been the most outstanding students at Kunlun Martial University in recent decades.


    Yan Jing was from the Second Academy and was not one of Dean Hai''s students.


    But now seeing each other again, they felt a sense of closeness.


    "You''ve just condensed True Intent, are you sure you''re up for it?" Dean Hai inquired, still somewhat worried.


    "Rest assured, Dean Hai."


    "I''ve been cultivating my Star Technique to the utmost for many years," Yan Jing said with a smile: "Now that True Intent has broken through, with just a little adaptation, I''ll be able to exert my strength to the fullest."


    "That''s good," nodded Dean Hai: "You''re Seven Star Mountain 31, do you know who 32 is? Is it a True Intent Prime Warrior?"


    "32? Number 32 also applied for combat?" Yan Jing was taken aback at first.


    He hadn''t seen the latest rankings of Seven Star Mountain yet.


    Suddenly, Yan Jing thought of news from a few days ago and a figure he was considering mentioning...


    "Dean Hai, Brother Yan Jing," a voice came from the door.


    Then, a figure appeared, dressed in a black Battle Garment.


    "Li Yuan? It''s really you!" Yan Jing brightened up.


    "Li Yuan?" Dean Hai was astounded.


    ...


    The arrival of Li Yuan took both Yan Jing and Dean Hai by surprise.


    Soon Dean Hai realized.


    ```

 Chapter 281 Arriving at the Rob Sea_2

    Yan Jing broke through not long ago and was promoted to number 31... Li Yuan seemed to have just broken through, so naturally, he should be promoted to number 32."Li Yuan, you''re taking this a bit lightly."


    Dean Hai said solemnly, "The pressure of war in the Rob Sea is indeed great, but after all, it hasn''t reached the brink of life or death... It''s not time for you to take risks recklessly."


    Some very important missions can lead to the higher-ups of the alliance to order the talents of Seven Star Mountain to participate in the war compulsorily.


    Places like Fierce Feather Star Realm, Mingxu Star Realm... barely qualify as such tasks.


    The war in Rob Sea Star Realm? It is also important, but even if we lose once, it will at most affect the local area... it won''t have a huge impact on the entire Seven Star Civilization, so the alliance will not issue compulsory orders.


    After all, there are only so many talents from Seven Star Mountain; they need a lot of time to train. If they are to fight in every small and big war in the Second Level Star Realms, the death rate will soar... which is not beneficial for the long-term development of the entire civilization.


    Good steel must be used on the blade''s edge.


    "You''ve just broken through recently, what you should do is concentrate on cultivation and solidify your foundation." Dean Hai said gravely.


    He knew about Li Yuan''s grudge with the Alien Race in Rob Sea Star Realm... which was why, during their meeting two days ago, he urged Li Yuan not to apply for any missions.


    "Dean, I am confident." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Didn''t you just say that we have to wait for another Seven Star Mountain member to arrive before we set off?"


    "If you don''t believe me, how about we have a sparring match in this brief time?"


    "Spar with me?" A glint flashed in Dean Hai''s eyes, as if he was sizing up Li Yuan all over again.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Jing''s eyes as well.


    You should know, Dean Hai is not some newly advanced Flying Heaven Warrior... his strength is extraordinary.


    "Fine."


    "Li Yuan, I won''t use any Star Technique, and I will also hold back some power, as long as you can withstand my attack." Dean Hai said in a deep voice, "Then I will agree for you to join the battle, otherwise... I will definitely report to the principal and revoke your mission qualification."


    "No problem."


    ...


    The bottom of this battle station base.


    There''s a vast space for combat and practice.


    Just in terms of space size, it''s even bigger than the Martial Arts Room in Li Yuan''s Seven Star Mountain, and the material of the combat space is special, fully able to withstand the sparring of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Inside the combat space, Li Yuan and Dean Hai stand hundreds of meters apart, with only Yan Jing as a spectator.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan instantly used the Body Refining Star Technique, transforming his body to three meters tall, his entire being emitting a robust and powerful aura.


    Third Rank top quality Battle Garment flowed like water over his entire body, covering even his head completely, with scales all black, only the surface faintly streaked with a tinge of earthy yellow glow.


    "Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong aura." Dean Hai''s eyes brightened; as a formidable individual, he naturally sensed the change in Li Yuan''s life force.


    With this Body Refining Star Technique, it pushed Li Yuan''s physical foundation soaring to the threshold of the Flying Heaven Level.


    Boom!


    Dean Hai no longer held back, a flicker of his form and he had already moved in front of Li Yuan.


    Swish~ A streak of blue saber light tore through the vast sky, attacking Li Yuan like lightning. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Clang!" Li Yuan''s form moved like a gust of wind, and as he thrust forward with his long spear, he struck the saber light, blocking this terrifying strike.


    The two immediately engaged in a fierce fight.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Nine consecutive slashes of saber light exploded like endless waves, and as they struck, Li Yuan felt as if he were enveloped by an endless flow of water... this was the Mystery of Water''s True Meaning.


    Immediately, he was forced back, step by step. Li Yuan''s form flickered nine times and had already retreated hundreds of meters.


    Nine collisions made it clear to Li Yuan that he couldn''t withstand it by force.


    Dean Hai, after all, was at level 34, and even without deploying Star Techniques and holding back his power... his strength was still terrifying.


    "Shadow Domain." Li Yuan directly executed his trump card.


    Rumble~


    Streams of earthy yellow energy burst forth in an instant, enveloping an area of dozens of meters, followed by Li Yuan splitting into three, with three phantom bodies simultaneously wielding long spears and attacking Dean Hai with shouts.


    "Phantom Body?"


    "To form so many phantoms within a domain?" Dean Hai was caught off guard, and his Divine Sense swept over them, unable to differentiate... If phantoms formed by the Fifth Layers Star Technique could be so easily identified, that would be too weak.


    Boom!


    Dean Hai also erupted in an instant, with water currents arising from nowhere, surging and colliding towards all directions, while another combat saber appeared in his left hand.


    "Clang, clang, clang, clang!"


    The shadow of the spears and saber light, like flowing water, collided; the thrusts of the three long spears were too fast.


    For a time, even Dean Hai found it somewhat difficult to counter, completely entangled by Li Yuan.


    Yan Jing, standing afar and watching the battle, was utterly shocked by the scene: "Li Yuan, he can actually fight Dean Hai to this extent?"


    Even though Dean Hai had put away many of his techniques.


    But the skill and mystery unleashed were real!


    "Too amazing," Yan Jing marveled silently, "If Li Yuan were to go all out in a fight against me... I''m afraid I would lose my life in just a few exchanges."


    The two mysteries combined.


    With three star techniques enhancing his body... Li Yuan''s combat power had reached a terrifying level.


    Finally.


    "Domain!" Dean Hai erupted, having been suppressed by Li Yuan all along, this also caused him some loss of face; the water around him turned incredibly violent in an instant, with its power increasing by more than tenfold.


    Boom¡ª


    The violent water flow swept across the vast sky, like numerous water dragons slaughtering their way through, tearing apart the domain''s air currents formed by Li Yuan''s thoughts, annihilating them layer by layer.


    Following that, the savage water flow struck towards Li Yuan''s three phantom bodies.


    ...


    After more than ten seconds, Li Yuan gave up resistance.


    "Dean Hai, I''ve lost," Li Yuan spread his hands, but he couldn''t hide the smile on his face.


    "What have you lost?"


    "I had to use my domain star technique to defeat you," Dean Hai shook his head and said with a sigh, "I''m getting old."


    "Your move just now, that should be a combination of two mysteries, right?" Dean Hai couldn''t help asking.


    "Mhm," Li Yuan nodded.


    There was no need to hide this; any normal Flying Heaven Warrior who fought against him would be able to tell, unless they were a fool.


    "Dean, do I qualify to join the battle now?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    "You do," Dean Hai said with emotion, "I really don''t know how you practice, you''ve been in the Martial Divine Star Realm for just one year, right? How could your strength have increased so much?"


    "Brother Li Yuan," Yan Jing flew over as well, his face full of shock, "With your strength, even Yu Jinghe might not be your match."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    In terms of physical quality, techniques, star techniques, weaponry... he was no less than Yu Jinghe in every aspect; naturally, his overall strength could rival, or even overcome, his opponent.


    "Big Brother Yu and I have our strengths, I suppose," Li Yuan said with a smile, "In terms of absolute offensive power, he should be stronger than me."


    The True Meaning of Metal, is exceptionally good at attacking.


    A while later.


    "Alright."


    "Another Seven Star Mountain member has arrived, let''s get ready to go," Dean Hai said, "Li Yuan, keep your true strength hidden for now... Yan Jing, you too."


    "Okay."


    "Understood."


    ...


    Ten hours later.


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and three other Seven Star Mountain members, followed Dean Hai and arrived at the entrance to the Rob Sea Star Realm channel of Xia Country.


    The land was vast and desolate, with sand filling the skies.


    The setting sun, bloody red, dyed the horizon into a magnificent sea of crimson... Numerous gigantic war fortresses stood tall, along with many towers of weaponry, and countless shapes of the mechanical legions, creating a spectacular sight.


    High in the sky.


    "To see so many war bases gathered in one place, this is my first time," Yan Jing couldn''t help but say.


    "Me too, I''ve only seen it in videos before," Li Yuan nodded slightly, a mysterious light flickering in his eyes, his heart filled with a surge of pride.


    His childhood dreams, without realizing it, were already coming true.


    "Those three ordinary members of Seven Star Mountain have already been sent off," Dean Hai said in a low voice, "You two... as strategic-level members, come with me to meet the highest commander here."


    "The highest commander?" Yan Jing showed a trace of confusion, "Who is it?"


    "General Lin."


    ...


    In the super-sized conference room of a war fortress.


    Several figures clad in combat armor were present, a few of them exuding a notably strong life force.


    They were waiting here.


    "Senior Lin."


    A young woman dressed in a black battle garment frowned and asked, "How much longer until they arrive?"


    "Don''t rush," a burly figure roughly thirty years old, wearing silver combat armor, said in a deep voice.


    Suddenly, the burly figure in silver combat armor smiled, "They''ve arrived."

 Chapter 282 The Beginning of War (Extra 14)

    "\\"Arrived?\\" The woman in black was taken aback.The other few figures in the conference room couldn''t help but look up towards the entrance of the room.


    In less than half a minute, three figures walked into the conference room from the corridor.


    \\"Dean Hai, long time no see.\\" The towering figure in silver combat armor greeted him with a smile.


    \\"General Lin.\\" Dean Hai also grinned.


    \\"Haha, you can just call me Old Lin, or Lin Yue.\\" The towering figure in silver combat armor laughed, \\"Don''t call me General; it sounds a bit off-putting.\\"


    \\"Alright, Old Lin it is then.\\" Dean Hai laughed, \\"We haven''t seen each other for quite some years. Your strength, though, has gotten stronger and stronger. I heard you''ve also had a wonderful daughter.\\"


    \\"That''s not important.\\" Lin Yue laughed, \\"Today, the most important thing is that you all have come to support us. The pressure facing the frontlines is tremendous.\\"


    Li Yuan followed behind Dean Hai, observing the few people inside the conference room.


    Under the inquiry of the Divine Palace,


    there were no prompts ''Killing can obtain spiritual nourishment'', which left Li Yuan with a hint of disappointment.


    \\"Lin Yue, these two are the True Intent Prime Warriors I invited from the Martial Divine Star Realm, both students who left our Kunlun Martial University.\\" Dean Hai smiled, \\"This one is Yan Jing, who, although only recently condensed True Intent, has many years of formidable strength.\\"


    \\"Young brother Yan Jing, hello.\\" Lin Yue greeted with a smile, reaching out his hand first.


    \\"Elder Lin.\\" Yan Jing also stretched out his hand in response.


    On the way in just now, he had heard from Dean Hai about this General Lin Yue, a high-ranking figure of the Starry Sky Martial Hall and also a powerhouse of Xia Country''s military, a Flying Heaven Warrior at the peak.


    More than two years ago, Lin Yue had been stationed at the Rob Sea Star Realm, and later gradually became one of the three Commanders, the ''Warrior Commanding General.'' (Chapter 61)


    \\"This one, you should have heard of.\\" Dean Hai pointed at Li Yuan with a smile, \\"Li Yuan.\\"


    In an instant, the others in the hall all turned their eyes towards Li Yuan.


    \\"Li Yuan?\\"


    \\"Is it him?\\"


    \\"He has already condensed True Intent? So soon? Didn''t he just go to the Martial Divine Star Realm last year?\\"


    \\"His cultivation is progressing too fast.\\" A trace of shock appeared on the faces of the several Flying Heaven Warriors wearing general''s uniforms.


    This name was well-known among the current high-rank warriors of Xia Country.


    In terms of fame, Li Yuan was completely on par with Yu Jinghe.


    And the several Flying Heaven Warriors present knew that, barring any accidents, Li Yuan''s future achievements were likely to surpass those of Yu Jinghe.


    However, what the several Flying Heaven Warriors did not expect was that, just over a year after last year''s Blue Star virtual combat, Li Yuan had come to the Rob Sea Star Realm in this manner.


    It was totally unexpected.


    Their hearts calculated slightly and they understood the terrifying speed of Li Yuan''s cultivation, which seemed almost beyond belief.


    \\"How could I not have heard of him.\\" Lin Yue was quite composed, smiling at Li Yuan, \\"This is our Xia Country''s number one prodigy... Besides, I should be the one thanking Li Yuan.\\"


    Thank?


    The crowd was somewhat surprised.


    Only Dean Hai was not surprised; after all, it was he who had sent Li Yuan to the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    \\"Elder Lin flatters me, I''ve only done what needed doing.\\" Li Yuan replied with neither servility nor haughtiness.


    General Lin Yue before him was none other than the father of Lin Lanyue.


    Through communication with Lin Lanyue, as well as the narratives from Dean Hai and his own collected data, Li Yuan came to see... Lin Yue had made tremendous contributions to the entire civilization.


    He hadn''t been particularly conspicuous in his Prime Warrior phase, never having entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, but he steadily practised until he became a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength increasing faster and faster post-ascension.


    Looking about thirty years old, he was actually nearly seventy, already a peak Flying Heaven Warrior.


    At 70, for a Flying Heaven Warrior, it''s still very young, and there is hope for becoming a Demigod in the future.


    In fact, Flying Heaven Warriors nurtured by the Martial Divine Star Realm are just a small part of the Seven Star Civilization.


    The vast number of Prime Warriors, many of whom may not have performed well in their youth, also undergo transformations and stand out as they gradually cultivate.


    Lin Yue was such a person.


    He also fought constantly in many places, and his presence had been seen in many star realms of the Blue Star. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    \\"Li Yuan, Yan Jing.\\" Lin Yue turned to the black-clothed woman beside him, \\"Let me introduce you, this is also a member of the Seven Star Mountain, Luo Chan, who has comprehended the True Meaning of Fire.\\"


    \\"Luo Chan?\\" Li Yuan and Yan Jing exchanged glances.


    They knew of this person.


    Before them, Xia Country had a total of two True Intent Prime Warriors. (Chapter 273)


    Besides Yu Jinghe, it was Luo Chan, who, according to the information they knew... had spent many years cultivating at the Seven Star Mountain and now seldom returned, usually staying in Xia Country.


    Thus, they had never met her before.


    \\"Li Yuan, Yan Jing.\\" The black-clothed woman, Luo Chan, looked at them, her face without much fluctuation, \\"What are each of you good at? We will need to fight together when we enter the Rob Sea, so at least we need to know each other''s strengths. I''ll go first, I''m better at frontal attacks, and my Star Techniques are all for enhancing attack.\\"


    \\"I have comprehended the True Meaning of Wind and specialize in speed,\\" Yan Jing said with a smile, \\"My top speed, combined with Star Techniques, should be able to exceed five times the speed of sound.\\"


    \\"Five times the speed of sound?\\" Surprise flashed in the eyes of those present.


    Normal True Intent Prime Warriors, with the aid of True Intent to fly and escape, usually have a flying speed of about three times the speed of sound.


    Five times the speed of sound? That was indeed astonishing.


    \\"Li Yuan, what about you?\\" Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, \\"With such a short training time, how well have you developed your Star Techniques?\\"


    \\"I''ve grasped the True Meaning of Earth, and what I''m best at... would probably be entangling the enemy. My defense is also quite good.\\" Li Yuan smiled, \\"As for Star Techniques, they are passable, I suppose.\\"


    He did not specify, because there were other Flying Heaven Warriors present.

 Chapter 282 The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_2

    Luo Chan''s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she was about to continue speaking."That''s enough, Luo Chan," Lin Yue suddenly said with a smile, "Li Yuan''s strength should be greater than yours."


    Perhaps the other Flying Heaven Warriors were unaware.


    But as the Commander of the Martial Artists, Dean Hai would naturally share some relevant intelligence with Lin Yue.


    Therefore, he had some understanding of Li Yuan''s strength.


    Once Li Yuan and his team took action, he would share detailed intelligence with Luo Chan.


    "Stronger than me?" A trace of doubt flashed through Luo Chan''s eyes.


    She had trained on Seven Star Mountain for many more years than Yu Jinghe and believed she had built up an incredibly deep foundation... though she did not object.


    ...


    Hum~ A massive screen projection appeared in the center of the meeting room.


    Everyone turned to look at it.


    "Li Yuan, Yan Jing, Luo Chan," Lin Yue looked at the three, "You three, unlike other Prime Warriors, can all fly... You are equivalent to Flying Heaven Warriors and are the sharp edge in this war, so naturally your mission is different."


    All three listened intently.


    "Right now, our decisive battle with the Cloud Beast Civilization has not yet erupted, but we can''t delay for too much longer," said Lin Yue, "Based on our previous inquiry, the number of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts they have accumulated in their three brood nests is truly astounding... A large-scale attack is definitely impending."


    Brood nests? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    On the way back from the Martial Divine Star Realm, they had broadly understood that the Cloud Beast Civilization was a formidable Exotic Beast Civilization.


    The most miraculous aspect of this civilization was its brood nests.


    Its function was to continuously spawn a large quantity of First Rank Exotic Beasts, which fought and competed with each other.


    These struggles would consistently produce Second Rank Exotic Beasts, and even Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Cloud Beast Civilization had three brood nests, breeding a large number of Exotic Beasts. The elite amongst them, after multiple screenings for those with high talent, would mostly be sent back to the Cloud Beast Civilization for further nurturing... But the vast remnants of ordinary Exotic Beasts still needed to consume resources for prolonged survival... Therefore, they let these Exotic Beasts serve as cannon fodder to attack the Seven Star Civilization.


    For decades, every 2-3 years, the Cloud Beast Civilization would ignite a horrific war. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The Rob Sea Star Realm."


    "At present, the most dangerous are the five major front-line War Fortresses and numerous ''Inquiry Bases''," Lin Yue said, "Those Inquiry Bases have mostly been subject to small-scale attacks, and many have been breached."


    "Senior Lin," Yan Jing suddenly asked in confusion, "Based on what you just said, if we are generally on the defensive, why don''t we just retreat and fortify the Star Realm''s entrance and exit points?"


    "If we completely retreat, that means giving up on the Star Realm, leaving only the entrance and exit as our last line of defense," Lin Yue glanced at Yan Jing, "And what if this last line also falls?"


    Yan Jing appeared thoughtful.


    "We are doing our utmost to extend our sphere of influence deep into the Star Realm, firstly to provide an early warning, and secondly to compress the living space of the Cloud Beast Civilization," Lin Yue said, "to prevent them from expanding recklessly."


    "Otherwise, once we completely abandon the Star Realm, they could quickly establish the fifth or even the sixth brood nest at their leisure. Then, when a large-scale attack comes, the defense pressure will be even greater."


    "In history, during the time the Rob Sea Star Realm''s defenses were breached, it happened just like that, ultimately resulting in tens of millions of deaths," Lin Yue said solemnly, "After all, the entrance and exit are becoming increasingly unstable, and at any moment could expand to thousands of kilometers. If there''s a sudden expansion to thousands of kilometers without prior warning, and millions of Exotic Beasts invade Blue Star... even a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors would be unable to fully defend."


    "Furthermore, the Rob Sea Star Realm itself is rich in resources."


    Li Yuan and the others now understood.


    Xia Country''s defense strategy for the Rob Sea was to adopt an offensive stance and at the same time try to capture various cultivation resources of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    "Your current mission."


    "Is to press into the Rob Sea Star Realm according to our previous inquiries," Lin Yue said, "destroy each advance base established by the Cloud Beast Civilization... and to strive to exterminate any Second Rank Exotic Beasts you encounter."


    "Especially the powerful Second Rank Exotic Beasts, if you can kill the majority... when the Cloud Beast Civilization launches their attack, without powerful Second Rank Exotic Beasts to draw fire, they will suffer greatly against our War Fortresses."


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and others were listening carefully.


    Potent War Fortresses were quite dangerous for even a Flying Heaven Warrior to invade alone.


    But sufficient numbers of Second Rank Exotic Beasts could also be tremendously terrifying.


    "Senior Lin, are there any Flying Heaven Level beings within the Cloud Beast Civilization?" Li Yuan asked the crucial question.


    "There are."


    "These are the two leaders of the Cloud Beast Civilization within the Rob Sea Star Realm that we know of," Lin Yue waved his hand.


    Whoosh!


    A vast map projection appeared in the sky, showing two huge three-dimensional projections: one, a massively fearsome blood-colored Flying Serpent; the other, a titan-like armored purple-haired ape.


    "These two, One is named Wu Sihai, and the other is called Ziba," Lin Yue said gravely, "From our long-term engagement, we know that they are very likely to have Intermediate Flying Heaven Level combat power, though the possibility of them being at the Flying Heaven Peak is very slim."


    "The Cloud Beast Civilization is different from us. Their breakthrough probability is much lower," Lin Yue said.


    "Most of their Flying Heaven Level beings have very common skills, and they even struggle to comprehend True Intent, not to mention reaching the Intermediate Rank of The Sixth Stage," said Lin Yue.


    Intermediate Flying Heaven Level combat power?


    Li Yuan''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, while Yan Jing and Luo Chan exchanged looks, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.


    Such strength posed a significant threat to them.


    "These two have only been recorded as taking action once," Lin Yue explained gravely, "and that was... eight years ago when Lude Nef attacked one of their brood nests."

 Chapter 282 The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_3

    ```"That battle, Lude Nef led Yu Jinghe and a large group of True Intent Prime Warriors... The fighting was extremely fierce, and in the end, they could only retreat," Lin Yue sighed lightly. "The brood nest was incredibly fortified, with numerous defensive forces erupting, and with these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, they easily held their ground."


    "What?"


    "A battle like that?" Li Yuan and Yan Jing were both surprised; they had not known of this news before.


    Luo Chan, however, was quite calm.


    Because she had personally taken part in that battle eight years ago.


    "These two old foxes are very cunning. As leaders of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm, they are unwilling to fight to the death, and the demigods of the Cloud Beast Civilization have no way to force them," Luo Chan said in a low voice. "As long as we don''t touch the brood nest, they probably won''t show themselves."


    "They are very fearful of Lude Nef''s ambushes."


    "In that battle, there were originally four Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts on the Cloud Beast Civilization''s side, but Lude Nef managed to kill two of them."


    "So, as long as we are careful and do not approach the brood nest, it should be safer," Luo Chan said. "Even if we do encounter them, the three of us together stand a good chance of getting away safely."


    ...


    Time passed, and after a detailed discussion.


    Li Yuan and Yan Jing were now extremely familiar with the entire Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Luo Chan had long been aware of this information.


    Li Yuan had very high authority and knew many secrets... yet he dared not be careless and listened attentively.


    Each Star Realm is mysterious and unpredictable, especially when facing a powerful civilization of the other side, one must be even more cautious.


    "The map indicates 28 advance bases and nine inquiry points, it''s up to you now," Lin Yue looked at the three True Intent Prime Warriors. "We will continue to scout continuously... and strive to send you the latest information."


    "Remember, do not stray beyond 5000 kilometers from the Star Realm entrance. Once you exceed this range, the signal will be interrupted," Lin Yue said. "Is that clear?"


    "Understood."


    ...


    Ten minutes later.


    The three of them, ready for action, had boarded a large transport flyer with Dean Hai and Lin Yue, arriving at one side of the vast Star Realm passage.


    In the sky, there seemed to be a curtain, rippling with waves.


    "Remember."


    "Although the Cloud Beast Civilization isn''t highly advanced in technology, they also have corresponding means of communication," Lin Yue said softly. "Therefore, once you take action, they will definitely receive the message, and then order other advance bases to retreat."


    "So, at the start of the operation, spread out and attack separately. After clearing two advance bases each, regroup and start clearing together."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Starting out with separate attacks was to catch the enemy by surprise. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Once the Cloud Beast Civilization reacted, they were likely to set up a killing formation, so it was necessary for the three to join forces. This way, even though the gains may be smaller, the danger would be much less.


    Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan, aboard a small flyer, swiftly passed through the curtain of light and ripples in the sky, entering the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Not relying on their flight, was to avoid revealing their whereabouts as much as possible, to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.


    Dean Hai and Lin Yue watched them disappear from view.


    "Dean Hai, is Li Yuan''s strength really as strong as you say?" Lin Yue asked softly.


    "You doubt me?" Dean Hai glared.


    "It''s not that I don''t believe, but it''s hard to believe that he has so quickly condensed True Intent, and to say his strength is nearing Lude Nef''s?" Lin Yue shook his head. "It''s indeed surprising."


    "I was also surprised when I first confirmed his strength," Dean Hai said with a sigh.


    "What a pity that Lude Nef is in seclusion. Otherwise, if he joined us, this war would be much easier."


    The news of Lude Nef''s breakthrough was still under wraps.


    Even Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, for the most part, were unaware of this.


    "Let''s head back."


    "We''ll wait for news from Li Yuan and the others." Dean Hai turned and flew towards the distant command ship.


    ```

 Chapter 283 Sweeping Everything (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

    ```Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan boarded single-person flyers and entered the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Shortly after, the three flyers separated by dozens of kilometers, each heading toward adjacent targets.


    The vast land stretched before them; a blood moon hung high, and ranges of majestic mountains extended deep into the land, rocky and barren with sparse vegetation, carrying an awe-inspiring, rugged beauty.


    However, the wreckage visible to the naked eye scattered amongst the mountains, and the remnants of technological weapons... were sufficient to understand the cruelty and bloodiness of this Star Realm.


    Inside one of the flyers.


    Luo Chan sat quietly, waiting for the auto-piloted flyer to reach the preset destination.


    Suddenly.


    "Luo Chan." A deep voice sounded within the flyer. Experience tales at empire


    "Senior Lin?" Luo Chan immediately opened her eyes. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I have something to tell you about your comrade Li Yuan''s strength, which I couldn''t fully disclose in the briefing room just now due to the presence of other Flying Heaven Warriors," Lin Yue''s voice was low: "His strength is now on par with Yu Jinghe."


    "What?" Luo Chan was shocked.


    In the briefing room earlier, she was surprised to hear Lin Yue say that Li Yuan was stronger than her.


    And now, Lin Yue was implying that Li Yuan''s strength was comparable to Yu Jinghe?


    To understand, remember that in the past year''s numerous battles on Ming Mountain, Yu Jinghe had proven through action that his power was not weaker than Lude Nef''s.


    Li Yuan? Has he grown so quickly?


    "Is the information reliable?" Luo Chan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Absolutely accurate." Lin Yue''s voice remained low: "What his specific combat skills are, I can''t tell you for now... but if you find yourself in danger, trust him as you would Yu Jinghe."


    "Understood." Luo Chan nodded.


    She could understand if Lin Yue was telling the truth, then Li Yuan''s rate of growth was terrifying, and he would definitely be a thorn in the side of Alien Civilizations.


    If it wasn''t for Li Yuan joining the fight this time, becoming comrades-in-arms,


    Then, with her status and power, she wouldn''t even be qualified to know this information.


    "Be careful during life-or-death battles, killing enemies is secondary, preserving yourself is the priority." Lin Yue added before cutting off the communication.


    Luo Chan sat within the flyer, her heart unable to settle for a long while.


    ...


    Meanwhile, inside another flyer, Li Yuan observed the scene outside.


    He had only seen the Rob Sea Star Realm in documentaries before, but now he was personally inside.


    "According to the intelligence."


    "Within a radius of three thousand kilometers from the Star Realm''s entrance, is our domain." Li Yuan thought to himself: "The nearest of the Cloud Beast Civilization''s three Nest-Beast Dens is about nine thousand kilometers from the entrance."


    "Their twenty-eight forward outposts are all within five thousand kilometers of the Star Realm''s entrance."


    "My first target is about four thousand kilometers from the entrance." Li Yuan glanced at the information displayed on the smart cruise: "In about four hours, I should be able to reach the edge of our domain."


    Whoosh! The flyer skimmed the mountain gorges at ultra-low altitude, though even if discovered by a Stealth Exotic Beast infiltrated within our domain from the Cloud Beast Civilization, it was highly unlikely to be identified as a Flying Heaven level... but caution never hurt.


    ...


    Four hours later.


    Outside the Star Realm, at the central command.


    "All three of them have left the flyers and begun the final stage of Stealth." Lin Yue suddenly spoke in a soft voice.


    "Hopefully, they all come back safely." Dean Hai spoke gravely beside him.


    The eyes of the other military Flying Heaven Warriors were filled with anticipation.


    ...


    On the blood-engulfed mountain ranges, fierce winds howled.


    Li Yuan landed lightly on the ground and instinctively looked up at the flyer ascending into the distance.


    The flyer only provided transport for 3000 kilometers; the last 1000 kilometers to the target had to be covered by Li Yuan and the others on their own.


    "This place is desolate." Li Yuan frowned slightly.


    According to intelligence, the Nest-Beast Dens of the Cloud Beast Civilization siphon the power of the earth for nourishment... wherever they go, the once-thriving land full of life would turn to desolation.


    "This battle, I''m the main force, I have to really rely on myself now." Li Yuan muttered in his heart.


    This was his third venture into a Star Realm.


    The first time in the Mingxu Star Realm, all he did was Inquiry, while Senior Liu Jing was the main force, he wasn''t even qualified to participate in the final clash of two great civilizations.


    Second time, in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, he was just part of the World within Worlds battle... The intense Star Realm war was carried by Lude Nef and the others.


    Now, it was his third time.


    "After all this time, it''s finally up to me to take on the responsibility." Li Yuan''s eyes gleamed mysteriously: "Rob Sea Star Realm is a tumour on Xia Country, I will do everything in my power... to excise it."


    Since childhood, Li Yuan had repeatedly heard stories of wars in the Rob Sea, with countless humans dying, even his uncle nearly perishing here, and much of Xia Country''s national strength had been depleted here.


    Not just resources but also millions of lives.


    After reading through many intelligence reports on the Rob Sea, Li Yuan was determined to thoroughly cleanse the entire Rob Sea.


    "Big Brother Yu, Lude Nef and the others couldn''t breach the Nest-Beast Dens, but my strength can now rival theirs, and I will get even stronger... I have a complete chance of achieving this," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Perhaps, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization had no expectations for Li Yuan, but he had expectations for himself.


    If capable, then one should do their utmost.


    You can''t always depend on the next generation for everything.


    "This time, I''ll start by collecting some interest." Li Yuan moved, his body''s light subtly distorting to cloak his form, and like a gust of wind, he flew towards his target.


    In such a state, unless sensed by the Divine Sense of another strong being, if one is just a bit further away, it would be nearly impossible to detect Li Yuan''s presence.


    ```

 Chapter 283 Sweeping Everything (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_2

    Time passed, and Li Yuan was under the illumination of the blood moon.He crossed desolate mountain ranges, gorges, and rivers, moving forward non-stop.


    "So many exotic beasts." Along the way, Li Yuan observed many exotic beasts, none of which could detect his passing.


    Li Yuan''s range of Divine Sense inquiry was limited.


    But he had condensed the True Meaning of Earth, and through the fluctuations of the earth, his perception ability was astonishing; even separated by tens of kilometers, he could sense certain life fluctuations.


    Two hours later.


    "It''s here," Li Yuan stood on the mountaintop, his breath as if concealed, gazing at a distant mountain a few kilometers away.


    He did not continue to approach.


    At first glance, this mountain did not seem remarkable compared to the neighboring peaks.


    But it was one of the Cloud Beast Civilization''s forward outposts mentioned in the intelligence, a result of continuous in-depth inquiry by numerous First and Second Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization.


    At the same time, as Li Yuan truly neared the mountain, he could sense through the earth''s vibrations the extensive life fluctuations within, clearly inhabited by many powerful exotic beasts.


    "I am ready and can act at any moment," Li Yuan sent a message to Yan Jing and Luo Chan.


    Li Yuan waited patiently.


    More than ten minutes later, Luo Chan sent a message: "I am ready as well."


    Another five minutes passed before Yan Jing finally sent a message: "I am in position."


    All had arrived.


    "Attack simultaneously after thirty seconds. Eliminate all Second Rank exotic beasts, then immediately head to the next target," Commander Lin Yue issued the order.


    ...


    Thirty seconds later.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan burst out like a gust of wind, blending completely with the surroundings, almost skimming the ground as he went... in an instant, his speed shot up to sonic levels, reaching the base of the huge mountain and a seemingly inconspicuous cave in just ten seconds.


    This cave, concealed by layers, would be entirely missed from a distance... but not by Li Yuan''s earth vibration senses.


    "Two." With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Yuan detected two Second Rank exotic beasts lurking at the entrance of the cave.


    They had not noticed Li Yuan yet.


    "Kill!" A glint of killing intent flashed across Li Yuan''s eyes as he directly triggered two mysteries.


    Scch~


    Scchwt! Two streams of earthy yellow energy, sharp as spikes, penetrated the ground like needles strengthened countless times over and burst through the skulls of the two Second Rank exotic beasts.


    Instantly, the eyes of the two exotic beasts bulged roundly, their heads began to bleed profusely, and they lost consciousness.


    Dead!


    As a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    The combination of two mysteries made it easy to kill level 22 Second Rank exotic beasts within his domain.


    This was the terrifying aspect of superb martial skills.


    Just like the might of a law, once fully unleashed, it could easily kill ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors... With the combined might of Li Yuan''s two mysteries, he could also effortlessly sweep through large numbers of Second Rank from the Alien Race.


    "There''s no need to delay once the action starts," Li Yuan''s gaze was cold.


    Boom! Inducing the True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan''s speed fully erupted, unfolding completely as he transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light along the cave, rushing into the heart of the base.


    At the same time.


    Above and below, even within the mud and stones, nearly every inch within a fifty-meter radius centered on Li Yuan spontaneously generated fine streams of earthy yellow energy, as if a gargantuan sphere had been born out of thin air.


    This was the True Intent Domain, formed by the core of the True Meaning of Earth, infused with the Mystery of Wind.


    ...


    The forward outpost of the Cloud Beast Civilization naturally had many defensive measures in place.


    If an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior approached, there was a significant chance of being detected... but Li Yuan''s stealth techniques were extremely sophisticated.


    Although not as adept as Lude Nef, at least he was not something this outpost could detect in advance.


    Only when Li Yuan truly erupted, charging straight in, did the top-tier powerful exotic beasts of the outpost notice.


    Deep within the earth, there lay a vast chamber. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The chamber was filled with numerous devices.


    Inside the chamber, several massive beasts with eyes flashing intelligence, shaped like serpents or akin to apes, resided.


    They had been leisurely before, but at that moment they felt continuous vibrations and the sounds of explosions from above, which completely changed their expressions.


    "No good, an enemy has invaded."


    "It''s a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "Alert!"


    "Quick, retreat." These leaders of the outpost, some resembling flying serpents, others like primates,


    were the chiefs of the outpost.


    Not long ago, they were planning attacks on certain bases of the Seven Star Civilization, but now they were all panicked.


    Boom! The heavy chamber door thundered down, the giant stone door closing the upward passage.


    Click!


    On the other side of the chamber, what was a securely sealed wall suddenly opened like a door to both sides, revealing a dark passage¡ªindeed, an escape route.


    "Move quickly."


    "Flee." The five fully matured Second Rank exotic beasts had just thought to flee, but they hadn''t even managed to move their bodies when fear flashed through their eyes.


    "Boom!!!"


    Like the earth shattering, the thick layer of rock above them exploded violently, with countless rocks spraying and scattering wildly.


    Following that, streams of earthy yellow energy appeared out of thin air, sweeping toward all directions like blades, slicing the bodies of the Second Rank mature exotic beasts, trying to kill them on the spot. Experience more tales on empire


    "Scchwt~" Blood splattered everywhere, their indestructible fur being cut open.


    "Ah!"


    "It''s a True Intent Domain."


    "How can this domain be so strong? It''s far stronger than the domains of Master Wu Sihai and the others."


    "Hold on." These mature Second Rank exotic beasts, which had their own language, roared at each other.


    Soon after, mighty Origin Power surfaced on their bodies, merging with flesh and bone, resisting the frenzied, slaughtering attacks of the True Intent Domain.

    "Puchi~""Rumble~" These Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts, augmented with powerful Origin Power and even directly using Star Technique, actually managed to withstand Li Yuan''s True Intent Domain. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh!


    Amidst strands of earth-yellow streams, the currents suddenly dispersed, and a figure completely shrouded in a black robe stepped out, their specific features utterly obscured.


    However, the terrifying aura they exuded made these few Second-Rank Exotic Beasts tremble in their hearts, realizing that this was the assailant.


    "Die!"


    Li Yuan''s eyes turned cold as the Black Chen Spear suddenly materialized in his hand, infused with Origin Power, and a flash of Spear Light suddenly thrust forth.


    Origin Power, Mysteries of True Intent, and the weapon''s might combined perfectly.


    A terrifying Spear Light suddenly burst forth.


    The dazzling Spear Light slashed across the sky, striking at the few Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts with such horrific might that it pierced directly through their defenses formed by Origin Power and their tough flesh and blood, their heads instantly exploding.


    Die!


    In a single encounter, he completely crushed and killed them.


    "So weak, clearly at level 29, but no Origin Power Battle Suit, and Star Techniques hardly cultivated, simply relying on a strong physique to bear the brunt." Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    A normal Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, at full defense, would take at least two strikes from Li Yuan to be killed.


    But Li Yuan didn''t know, from the myriad Exotic Beasts generated by the brood nest, those with true potential had already been sent away, leaving only the flawed ones... Nevertheless, under normal circumstances, these few Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts wouldn''t directly engage in combat but serve as commanders.


    "Next one."


    Li Yuan soared to the sky, quickly ascending from the underground chamber, swiftly passing through one cavern layer after another... Each cavern layer was strewn with numerous Exotic Beast corpses, blood flowing like rivers.


    Each cavern had a huge hole that had just been forcibly breached by Li Yuan.


    He had carved a path of slaughter all the way through.


    Li Yuan took approximately 12 seconds, continuously breaking through 6 layers of caverns, and swept through all the Exotic Beasts detected by his Divine Sense at this Cloud Beast Civilization outpost.


    "Target number 1 completed, 834 Second-Rank killed." Li Yuan sent the message to the command center.


    Boom!


    The mountain body outside, which appeared calm, suddenly erupted with a terrifying explosion sound, boulders tumbling, trees collapsing, and a huge cavern appeared at the top of the mountain, from which a stream of earth-yellow light burst forth into the sky.


    The initial assault was a surprise attack, so movement had to be concealed.


    But once action was taken, it had to be fast! The faster, the better!


    "Next target, about 200 kilometers away, strive to arrive within three minutes," Li Yuan''s eyes were cold as ice, "Kill!"


    Boom!


    Li Yuan turned into a ray of light, merging fully with the heavens and earth, streaking across the dim world at a speed that had now soared to approximately four times the speed of sound.


    ...


    Outside the Star Realm, in the command center.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and others were all waiting quietly; they knew that the first round of assassination by the three Prime Warriors with True Intent had begun.


    Whether they could dismantle this round of attack by the Cloud Beast Civilization almost entirely depended on this endeavor.


    Suddenly.


    "Good!" Lin Yue suddenly let out a low shout, with a glint of joy in his eyes, "Success in one location, Li Yuan has completed the first target, killing 834 Second-Rank with none escaping, he''s now proceeding towards target number 4."


    "Good."


    "Impressive." Everyone was somewhat excited, having at least accomplished part of the objective.


    "What about targets number 2 and 3?" Dean Hai asked in quick succession.


    "No news yet." Lin Yue shook his head.


    Another nearly twenty seconds passed.


    "Luo Chan has sent a message, target number 2 is completed, some Second-Rank Exotic Beasts escaped, but the kill count exceeded 600," Lin Yue said in a low voice, "Yan Jing has also sent a message, killing over 500 Second-Rank Exotic Beasts, but the task was not fully completed."


    The conference room fell silent.


    At first, when they received the news, they didn''t realize... but after comparison, they felt the impressive strength of Li Yuan.


    "This is fortunate."


    Experience more content on empire


    "Having a genius like Li Yuan is a blessing for Xia Country, as well as for the Seven Star Civilization," Lin Yue said softly.


    ...


    The first round of assassination results by Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan was indeed staggering.


    But with such a large-scale attack.


    Cloud Beast Civilization, though slow to react, would quickly respond, especially since the Cloud Beast Civilization had long been prepared.


    About two thousand kilometers away from the base attacked by Li Yuan.


    In the intermountain range where two mountain ridges spanned a vast canyon, at this moment, it was engulfed in countless black mists.


    If one could see through the mist, they would notice between the canyons, countless black organic structures were rapidly expanding and growing... If Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and others were here, they would recognize that this was a brood nest of the Cloud Beast Civilization growing rapidly.


    Inside a mountainside beside the canyon, it had long been completely hollowed out.


    "What''s going on?"


    "An outpost has been attacked?"


    "The Seven Star Civilization''s counterattack has finally arrived?"


    "Indeed, they''ve taken the initiative. They want to dismantle our momentum in advance." Inside the mountain, five tremendously powerful existences gathered here.


    They watched the three light screen projections formed in the middle, seeing the battle scenes clearly.


    The projections from a few outposts had been automatically sent back before being destroyed.


    In one projection, a blurry black figure flashed by, followed by a terrifying flurry of Spear Light, swiftly sweeping away everything in its path.


    The other two scenes of battle were much more intense, allowing them to watch more closely.


    "Such impressive Spear Technique."


    "A True Intent Domain, its might is so powerful? It''s probably close to Intermediate Rank True Intent," the five Cloud Beast Civilization powerhouses immediately judged.


    The mysterious powerhouse who had mastered the True Meaning of Earth was the most formidable.


    "One of them is Luo Chan, an old adversary." Wu Sihai''s eyes were cold, his voice carrying a chilling intent to kill.


    Wu Sihai had clashed with Luo Chan twice and recognized the opponent.

 Chapter 283 Sweeping Everything (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_4

    "The fish has taken the bait.""So arrogant, these three must all be True Intent Prime Warriors... However, that True Meaning of Earth master might be a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "His Domain hasn''t reached the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank, otherwise he could have killed those several Second Rank Perfections directly with the power of his Domain."


    "Even if he is a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength is only comparable to Wu Sihai and Zippa, and he must have broken through recently, so his strength is probably weaker." The five powerful figures communicated with each other.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior, even with a high Skill Realm, would still need a lot of time to refine Origin Pills.


    "Jin Mu, Yan Xuan."


    The blood-colored Flying Serpent turned to the two newly arrived powerhouses: "Over the years, Elden, Zippa, and I have been wary of Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe, enduring in silence, not daring to make a move."


    "But the Seven Star Civilization probably doesn''t know their secret has leaked... They likely can''t imagine that we''d dare to take action."


    "This time, the high echelons of our civilization have even dispatched you two, significantly augmenting our top battle power."


    "This time, we will deliver a surprise to the Seven Star Civilization and strive to kill all their Flying Heaven level combatants." Wu Sihai spoke in a deep voice.


    "Rest assured."


    "The Demigod has sent us here to cooperate with you in an effort to take the Rob Sea in one fell swoop." The Exotic Beast known as ''Jin Mu'' spoke in a deep voice.


    His body wasn''t too massive, pitch black in color, with eight legs, looking like a giant murderous spider.


    "Jin Mu excels at binding, and I at poison fog." The black Flying Serpent named Yan Xuan spoke in a deep voice, its scales shimmering with a beautiful luster that made the other Exotic Beasts reluctant to come too close. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Poison is something to be greatly feared.


    Jin Mu and Yan Xuan were supreme talents dispatched by the Cloud Beast Civilization, having already condensed their True Intent... Together with their innate physical gifts, they could unleash astonishing strength.


    "We must act without delay."


    "Elden, you stay here to protect the nest burrows."


    "The targets of these humans are definitely those outpost stations." Wu Sihai said in a deep voice, "We will slaughter our way over now."


    "I will have the large army in those outpost stations slowly pull back, neither alerting the human warriors... nor preventing them from continuing their attacks."


    "Slaughter our way over."


    "Kill!"


    Soon, four massive Exotic Beasts left the belly of the mountain, transforming into four streaks of light as they departed from this nest burrow, headed in the direction of Li Yuan.


    With their flight speed, even if they deliberately slowed down to reduce the disturbance in heaven and earth,


    2,000 kilometers could also be covered in less than an hour.


    ...


    An hour later.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Intense sounds of explosions suddenly erupted from what seemed like an ordinary mountain amidst the continuous mountain range, as if a major explosion was occurring.


    "Rumble~" Accompanied by dazzling earthen-yellow light breaking through, a huge mountain body collapsed halfway, as numerous rocks and soil crumbled and fell.


    That gradually exposed the inside of the mountain... A large number of Exotic Beast corpses tumbled down.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Three streaks of light broke through the layers of dirt, soaring into the sky hundreds of meters high, revealing themselves to be Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.


    "So powerful."


    "Such terrifying Spear Technique." Luo Chan was thoroughly convinced by Li Yuan, her eyes filled only with admiration.


    That spear thrust just now.


    At the bottom of the cave, it swept across dozens of Second Rank Exotic Beasts in a wide range, utterly quelling any thought of escape in those beasts.


    She had no more doubts about Li Yuan''s strength.


    "Target number 11, completed."


    Yan Jing''s face showed a hint of excitement, "We have slain more than five thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts."


    The three of them, after individually taking down two Cloud Beast Civilization outpost bases, had, as planned, converged in one place and continued their slaughter.


    Not a single Cloud Beast Civilization base could withstand their onslaught.


    "I always feel something is strange, that the Cloud Beast Civilization seems to be retreating, but somehow it''s slow." Luo Chan said gravely, "Their response is too slow."


    "It does seem a bit slow." Li Yuan furrowed his brow.


    Suddenly.


    "I understand now, it''s not that their response is slow." Li Yuan suddenly turned his head, his gaze calm as he looked into the distant void, "They''re using these Second Rank Exotic Beasts as bait, deliberately luring us."


    "The real enemies are coming." Li Yuan''s hand already clenched the Black Chen Spear with a swish.


    Quickly.


    "Not good!"


    "Flying Heaven Realm?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan also quickly sensed that in the void more than ten kilometers away, four powerful presences were rapidly closing in.


    "It''s Wu Sihai." Luo Chan even recognized a familiar aura.

 Chapter 284 Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)

    With the vision and perception ability of a Prime Warrior proficient in True Intent, a distance of over ten kilometers was already incredibly clear.Moreover, the four powerhouses of the Cloud Beast Civilization were blatantly charging over without any attempt to hide their approach.


    "Four Flying Heavens?" Yan Jing''s face changed drastically, "Weren''t there supposed to be only two Flying Heaven leaders from the Cloud Beast Civilization?"


    Luo Chan remained silent, but her facial expression said it all.


    "Two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts." Li Yuan''s eyes were also grave, and his voice echoed in both of their minds, "Those two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts must be Wu Sihai and Zi Pa as mentioned by senior Lin before."


    "And those two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts are likely reinforcements from the Cloud Beast Civilization."


    Separated by more than ten kilometers, Li Yuan was unable to deploy the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    But with the congealed True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan''s perception was astonishing, and he could vaguely distinguish the differences between those four powerful figures... There was an essential difference between flying with the True Intent of the heavens and earth and flying by propelling Origin Power.


    "The unparalleled geniuses of the Cloud Beast Civilization?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan''s complexions changed again, they were not fools, immediately thinking of many possibilities.


    Why after nearly a decade of major battles, had Wu Sihai and Zi Pa never shown themselves in battle, yet suddenly made a move this time?


    Why hadn''t the Cloud Beast Civilization provided reinforcements before, and yet they had sent two powerhouses ahead of time this time?


    Why...


    The multitude of coincidences could only explain one thing¡ªthis was no coincidence, it was a premeditated attack set up by the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    It seemed slow, but in reality, it took less than two seconds for Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan to exchange thoughts.


    "Retreat!"


    The three transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the area controlled by the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even for someone as confident in their own strength as Li Yuan, he would never rashly charge forward.


    Observations were due at the very least.


    At the very least, they could not let an engagement unfold within the battlefield area prearranged by the opponent.


    After all, knowing full well that the enemy had three Prime Warriors who had already demonstrated formidable power... the Cloud Beast Civilization still dared to attack, they must have some level of confidence.


    ...


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four strong figures from the Cloud Beast Civilization tore through the Vast Sky, hurtling towards their target.


    "They''ve discovered us, they''re starting to flee." The large purple ape''s eyes flickered with a chilly light.


    "Escape?" Wu Sihai spoke coldly, "Yan Xuan, Zi Pa, follow me. Let''s move in for the kill first."


    "Jin Mu, you''re the slowest, so come afterward." The blood-red Flying Serpent, Wu Sihai said. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "All right." Jin Mu nodded in agreement.


    The four mighty beings of the Cloud Beast Civilization, Wu Sihai and Zi Pa were mid-stage Flying Heaven powerhouses... When burst at full speed, their velocity was incredibly ferocious.


    As for Yan Xuan? Being from the Flying Serpent Clan, naturally adept at flight, and having comprehended the True Meaning of Wind, it further enhanced its prowess, making its flying speed faster than the average practitioner in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The speed of Wu Sihai, Zi Pa, and Yan Xuan skyrocketed in that instant, rapidly approaching five times the speed of sound.


    Drawing ever closer to Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.


    Every second, the distance between them shrank by several hundred meters... in at most a minute, they would be completely overtaken.


    ...


    Outside the Star Realm, inside a giant conference room serving as the command center.


    "We''ve already killed over five thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts, the results are astonishing." A Flying Heaven Warrior said with a jovial smile, "At this rate, they could end up killing over ten thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts."


    "Indeed frightening."


    "Thousands of Second Rank Exotic Beasts, if we let an ordinary troop handle it, who knows how many would die or get injured." Several Flying Heaven Warriors in the conference room sighed with deep emotion.


    Dean Hai looked relaxed as well.


    Only Lin Yue''s expression was solemn; as time had passed, Li Yuan, Luo Chan, and their unimpeded sweeping and killing seemed too smooth to be true.


    His years of experience combating various Alien Races gave him a subconscious feeling that something was amiss.


    But he couldn''t put his finger on exactly what it was.


    Suddenly.


    "Not good." Lin Yue''s expression changed slightly, "The Cloud Beast Civilization''s counterattack has arrived."


    Whoosh~


    A huge projection screen appeared, immediately displaying scenes from within the Star Realm... The image was shaking wildly, appearing very chaotic, as if being recorded on the move.


    But in reality, this was Luo Chan activating the ''real-time shoot'' feature on her smart ring, which was somewhat akin to ''live broadcasting.''


    Even though the image was constantly shaking.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and the others still saw clearly.


    Four massive Exotic Beasts were chasing with terrifying velocity.


    "Two Flying Heaven Level, two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts, this is Li Yuan''s assessment." Lin Yue''s expression turned very serious, and he said gravely, "The Cloud Beast Civilization had planned this in advance."


    In the conference room, everyone''s smiles faded as they realized the seriousness of the situation.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization, having never erupted for so many years, was making a fierce move all at once.


    "Li Yuan and the others are fleeing." Lin Yue said gravely.


    "But they are only Prime Warriors, and Luo Chan is not adept at flying." Dean Hai spoke gravely, "Over thousands of kilometers... they definitely can''t escape easily."


    Escape?


    They could only escape while fighting.


    "What about the contingency plan?" Lin Yue turned to look at another Flying Heaven Warrior.


    "The drone swarm has been launched, but it will take a while to arrive."


    "The Flying Heaven War Machines have set off with nuclear weapons." The Flying Heaven Warrior said with a bitter smile, "The war machines are also equipped with Origin Power Weapons, powerful enough to easily kill Second Rank lives."


    "But you''re all aware... at the Flying Heaven Warrior level, it''s nearly impossible for technological weapons to cause fatalities, they can at best provide interference."


    Everyone fell silent.


    Flying Heaven Warriors, especially those who have comprehended True Intent, have incredibly resilient vitality, and their speed at escaping in critical moments is astonishing... Even for nuclear weapons, as long as they are not foolish, nearly none pose a threat to them.

 Chapter 284 Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_2

    For example, they could instantly burrow into the ground.In a second, they could burrow hundreds of meters deep.


    How to bomb them?


    As for other conventional technological weapons? Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors of True Intent could instantly form a Domain of True Intent with a thought, harnessing the power of heaven and earth, rendering most technological weapons completely ineffective.


    The so-called saturation firepower strike would be a joke.


    Suddenly.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Li Yuan stepped forward to meet the challenge," one of the Flying Heaven Warriors exclaimed, pointing at the projection screen.


    "What?"


    "Not good," Lin Yue and Dean Hai hurriedly looked over, their faces changing slightly.


    In the flickering projection, the three powerhouses from the Cloud Beast Civilization were closing in rapidly, probably leaving only two kilometers between them... and Li Yuan who had just been fleeing with them.


    His figure suddenly staggered, and his speed sharply decreased.


    He didn''t turn around.


    But the decrease in his flying speed was, in effect, akin to turning around to face the battle.


    At this moment, through the projections, observers like Lin Yue and Dean Hai felt their hearts rise to their throats.


    They knew of Li Yuan''s strength, suspected to be comparable to that of Yu Jinghe, but the power of the Cloud Beast Civilization was also extremely terrifying.


    That was at least the combat power of two mid-phase Flying Heaven warriors.


    ...


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm, under the blood moon, atop the vast and endless mountains.


    "Li Yuan, no matter how strong you are, it''s impossible for you to take on three by yourself," Luo Chan''s face changed dramatically.


    "Li Yuan, if we are to fight, let''s fight together," Yan Jing said in an instant panic.


    Seeing Li Yuan stop abruptly, their flying speeds also slowed down accordingly.


    But the very next moment.


    "Run! Both of you run," Li Yuan''s voice was ice cold, "These aliens pose no threat to me, but I''m only sure I can hold them off, not that I can protect you both." sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "As your team leader, I order you to flee immediately. I won''t joke with my life," he commanded.


    The telepathic communication was just a momentary flash.


    Yan Jing, and Luo Chan were both momentarily stunned; they were decisive individuals and immediately made their choice, speeding up again to continue flying into the distance.


    Because both Yan Jing and Luo Chan had immense faith in Li Yuan''s abilities.


    It seemed slow to say.


    From the moment Li Yuan and Yan Jing spotted the forces from the Cloud Beast Civilization, to their flight from the scene, and to Li Yuan''s decision to face the enemy alone... the entire process lasted less than a minute.


    "This human fool! He dares to stay behind and block us alone," one of them said.


    "He''s not a Flying Heaven Warrior, just a Prime Warrior with True Intent," the three alien beast powerhouses were first shocked, then immediately showed bloodthirsty and fierce expressions.


    A single person?


    In previous inquiries, their main focus was on this strong warrior with the True Meaning of Earth.


    But after the initial encounter, upon closer sensing, they found that this strong warrior of Earth''s True Intent was not a Flying Heaven Warrior, and they completely let down their guard.


    Not being a Flying Heaven Warrior, with only Initial Rank. Sixth Stage True Intent Comprehension... naturally, he was not considered a major threat to them.


    After all, creatures like the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and the Purple-Haired Gorilla Zippa were True Intent Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "If the three of them joined forces to defend, it would take us quite some effort to win, but this fool dares to stand alone; quickly eliminate him, then go and kill the other two," Wu Sihai communicated telepathically.


    "Mm."


    "Understood," Zippa and Yan Xuan both responded in agreement.


    To this point, they had yet to realize their opponent was Li Yuan.


    After all, from beginning to end, Li Yuan was completely cloaked by his battle garment, with his face not visible.


    Wu Sihai, Zippa, and others who spent years in the Rob Sea Star Realm, often received information slowly.


    Although they had heard the name of Li Yuan, they subconsciously thought that this unparalleled genius mentioned in intelligence reports would need at least a decade to grow.


    Therefore, it never crossed their minds that the person in front of them could be Li Yuan.


    The two sides approached like lightning.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan holding a long spear, suddenly grew to a height of three meters, like a small giant, his life force surging dramatically.


    Facing the three powerhouses, Li Yuan naturally didn''t dare hold back and unleashed "Stellar Mysterious Body" without hesitation.


    "Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong life force."


    "So what if it is a Body Refining Star Technique? He still has to die!" the three alien beasts roared, swiftly converging from different directions to attack.


    Boom!


    Around Wu Sihai''s massive serpent body, cold air diffused instantaneously, mixed with a flow of water, spreading across hundreds of meters, as if to freeze everything.


    Boom! The cold air invasion swept over everything, causing the Domain of Earth formed by Li Yuan to begin collapsing immediately.


    And his body began to subtly suffer the effects of the invasion as well.


    "Domain Star Technique?" Li Yuan instantly made a judgment, the opponent was at the 32nd level of Flying Heaven, with powerful and robust Origin Power, also using a Domain Star Technique... even if his realm was higher, his Domain of True Intent was no match.


    If not a match, then abandon control of the Domain.


    "Roar~" The purple-haired gorilla was already towering, nearly five meters tall, and directly used a Body Refining Star Technique, his massive body thunderously growing to ten meters in height.


    He wielded a weapon resembling a mace, with an overwhelming presence.


    "Boom!" The mace, over six meters in length and faintly enveloped in a golden aura, smashed fiercely towards Li Yuan, causing the air to violently quake.


    "Whoosh!"


    The black serpent, only ten meters long and appearing quite slender, had wings that gleamed with a silver light, like two immense combat sabers, swooping down towards Li Yuan.


    Where the Wing Blades passed, the very space seemed like it would be cleaved apart.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan gripped his long spear and burst forth, infusing it with Origin Power combining the Mysteries of Earth and Wind, enhancing his Black Chen Spear, a Semi Divine Artifact.


    At the same time, Li Yuan had activated the Supreme Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein," and vaguely, the spear seemed to trigger even stronger fluctuations of heaven and earth, making this thrust terrifyingly potent.

 Chapter 284 Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_3

    "Li Yuan!""Be careful." Yan Jing and Luo Chan hadn''t fled far, still within two kilometers. As they ran, they kept looking back at the battle between Li Yuan and the three mighty exotic beasts.


    "Whoosh!"


    A spear light, endlessly sharp and containing an incomparable terrifying might!


    Tearing through the vast sky!


    "Boom~" The layers of chill enveloping Li Yuan had completely dissipated.


    The huge wing blade of the black Flying Serpent, Yan Xuan, had just collided with the spear when his expression drastically changed, and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.


    But it was already too late.


    Rip~ The spear pierced directly through Yan Xuan''s extremely tough wings, and the terrifying might instantly tore downwards from the wound.


    "Ahhh!" Yan Xuan let out a painful scream, closely followed by his wings being torn apart significantly.


    A succession of blood scattered across the sky.


    With just one spear strike, the black Flying Serpent, Yan Xuan, was gravely injured, his body flipping over as he plummeted downward.


    "Break!"


    As Li Yuan thrust his spear, the long spear suddenly revolved, spinning with alarming might, striking fiercely like a catapult against the descending ferocious mace with wolf teeth.


    "Bang!!!"


    An immensely terrifying collision, as if two fallen stars had struck each other, creating a gust of shockwave visible to the naked eye that impacted an area tens of kilometers around.


    "Boom~" The mountains below immediately started to collapse, falling apart, with countless boulders flying through the air.


    Boom!


    The massive purple-haired ape was flung backwards with great force.


    Li Yuan himself was also falling downward, plummeting for a hundred meters before finally steadying himself.


    "Body Refining Star Technique! And it''s the condensation of the True Meaning of Metal, making the attacks wildly ferocious," Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brows.


    From the frontal collision just now, Li Yuan realized he was slightly at a disadvantage.


    In techniques, weaponry, and many other aspects, he held an absolute advantage.


    In terms of Star Techniques, they were evenly matched.


    Explore more adventures at empire


    But the opponent was Level 32!! Far stronger than him at the base level, and the True Intent he comprehended was adept at attacking, naturally giving him an edge in head-on combat.


    Yet, it was just a slight advantage. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The most critical point.


    "Every frontal collision, the terrifying impact would cause great damage to my body," Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold, "If I were to keep clashing head-on with him, I would certainly be defeated."


    "But there''s no need for me to fight head-on."


    The purpose of Li Yuan''s spear thrust in the previous frontal collision was merely to test the strongest burst of his Spear Technique and see how powerful his attack could be.


    Now that he knew the outcome, it was time to end the fight in a way he was best at.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan moved, a faint cyan airflow emerged around his body, pouncing like lightning toward the black Flying Serpent, which had been heavily injured and was trying to flee in panic.


    It is better to break one finger than to injure ten.


    In some sense, killing such a second-rank exotic beast with True Intent is more valuable than an ordinary Flying Heaven exotic beast.


    "Not good." The black Flying Serpent fleeing in panic revealed a hint of fear in its eyes.


    Having suffered a spear attack, it was very clear of how terrifying the strength of this human martial artist was.


    "Stop!!"


    The other blood-red Flying Serpent, Wu Sihai, roared furiously, its wings trembling violently as its huge body suddenly leaped forward, followed by opening its bloody mouth wide and spewing out a terrifying stream of icy light.


    Like a river of cold air, it struck directly at Li Yuan, with the air along the path seeming to freeze and bind layer by layer, frightfully extreme.


    At the same time.


    "Sss~" An invisible spiritual attack, accompanying the cold air, instantaneously penetrated Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Die!" Wu Sihai''s eyes emitted madness, eager to see Li Yuan frozen to death alive.


    This was another attack Star Technique he cultivated¡ªRiver of Cold Air!


    The cold air contained an amazing power of erosion, even a top grade Prime Warrior touching a trace would be seriously injured.


    And his spiritual power was quite strong, which was why he specifically cultivated a Spiritual Secret Technique, hoping to slightly influence that final moment, and then the river of ice reaching and striking would be able to severely injure his opponent.


    "Buzz~"


    Li Yuan, who was attacked by the spiritual assault, showed only a hint of mocking on his face.


    Spiritual attack? A mid-stage Flying Heaven exotic beast, only a demigod using a spiritual attack against me would be more fitting.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Facing the roaring river of ice coming toward him, Li Yuan''s figure moved, instantly splitting into three, each spreading out hundreds of meters, effortlessly avoiding this terrifying killing move.


    "Not affected at all? How strong must his spiritual power be?" Wu Sihai was shocked, "And he can even create so many Phantom Bodies? How did he do that?"


    "Isn''t his cultivation based on the True Meaning of Earth? Could he be a warrior of dual True Intent?"


    "Damned hidden human pawn, so powerful a human genius, and yet you didn''t inform us." Wu Sihai was both anxious and furious, utterly unable to comprehend.


    Since when did the Seven Star Civilization produce such a terrifying Prime Warrior?


    There had been no news before this!


    "Kill!" Li Yuan, unleashing his full strength, the three figures simultaneously flickered and moved, like three beams of light whistling to attack the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    Swish! His wings rotating, Wu Sihai roared, his body releasing terrifying cold as he lunged in close combat to attack one of the figures, trying to block Li Yuan.


    "Ha!"


    Luo Chan also bellowed angrily, his huge Wing Blade sweeping through the heavens and earth, fiercely smashing towards one of the Li Yuans.


    "Boom~"


    "Puchi~" Those two figures of Li Yuan, like illusory bubbles, instantly vanished and dissipated.


    "False?"


    "Dammit!" Wu Sihai and Luo Chan were both shocked and furious, immediately roaring as they attacked Li Yuan.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan''s real body, however, had already bypassed the obstacle of the two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts like lightning, finally approaching the fleeing black serpent Yan Xuan, who was somewhat panicked and flustered.

 Chapter 284 Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_4

    Yan Xuan was well aware that relying on his own strength to block Li Yuan was impossible; the only chance of survival was to delay until Wu Sihai and the others arrived."Swoosh!"


    The long spear was like a flying serpent, just a shadow of the spear, yet it seemed to contain countless ever-changing techniques, striking unpredictably toward the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    "I must survive! Survive!" The eyes of the black serpent Yan Xuan were fixed on that thrust.


    His wing injuries were rapidly healing; suddenly he burst forward, followed by the massive wings that swept across the vast sky, his large body passing like a gust of wind.


    "Shush~" The wing blade grazed the spear shaft, not colliding head-on, but withdrawing immediately upon contact.


    He had avoided the spear.


    "I evaded! If I can dodge one spear, then there''s hope I can dodge a second," Yan Xuan thought ecstatically, pressing himself to the limit, focusing intently on the long spear in Li Yuan''s hands.


    "Puff!"


    "Whoosh~" "Boom!" Two more lightning-fast spears tore through the vast sky, and although one grazed the black serpent Yan Xuan, causing his vitality to surge chaotically,


    he ultimately evaded them once more.


    At this moment, desperate to live, the black serpent Yan Xuan was fully exploiting his own limits to display the utmost extent of his movement technique.


    This made Li Yuan momentarily unable to do anything to him. Discover more stories at empire


    "Hmm?" A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan''s eyes as he vaguely caught a glimpse of a mystery within the wildly tumbling form of the black serpent.


    The fluctuation of wind.


    The rhythm of wind.


    Having followed Lie Feng Semi Divine in training for an entire year, Li Yuan was already nearing the fifth stage''s limit, just a step away from the initial formation of the True Meaning of Wind.


    But he had been unable to break through.


    Until this moment.


    From the body of the black serpent Yan Xuan, Li Yuan vaguely sensed something.


    It wasn''t that Yan Xuan''s realm was higher than that of Lie Feng Semi Divine, capable of giving better guidance to Li Yuan.


    But rather, it was a mysteriously indescribable opportunity that precisely at this moment resonated with Li Yuan, causing his past accumulations to start a further transformation.


    "Pur-cht!"


    "Boom~"


    Continuous spears flew by, and Li Yuan still hadn''t managed to hit the black serpent Yan Xuan... Clearly, in the brink of life and death, Yan Xuan had also entered an extremely mysterious state.


    "Human, die."


    "Kill!" Blood serpent Wu Sihai and purple monkey Zi Pa had already arrived, unleashing their attacks on Li Yuan.


    The attacks were wild and fierce.


    "They''ve come?"


    Li Yuan sensed the incoming attack from behind, his thoughts shifted, and he once again used the Star Technique to instantly split into four phantom bodies.


    The rhythm of wind!


    The four phantom bodies weaved through the air, evading the attacks of the two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts, while lunging with the long spear in his hands, stabbing at the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    "Swoosh!"


    This thrust, swirling with the True Meaning of Earth, fierce and vast, encompassed by the Mysteries of Wind from all around.


    It kept condensing, solidifying, integrating with the True Meaning of Earth.


    The merging of the two true intents, intricately exquisite, caused a wondrous change, allowing Li Yuan to vaguely perceive a profound and unpredictable fluctuation between heaven and earth.


    This fluctuation was fleeting.


    But that mysterious rhythm also made this thrust more powerful than any before; its speed was terrifyingly fast.


    Four long spears exploded simultaneously again!


    Whoosh~ leaving four barely discernible trails of spear light in the void


    Subsequently, three trails of light dissipated, leaving only the last, dazzling and heart-trembling one.


    Only the real long spear remained.


    "No!!" The black serpent Yan Xuan was horrified, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.


    What kind of spear technique was this?


    How could it be so much stronger than before? That shouldn''t be possible!!


    If this human martial artist had such strength, he should have killed me with one spear from the start.


    In an instant, many doubts flashed through the mind of the black serpent Yan Xuan, filled with fear of death.


    "Pur-cht!" sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Too fast!


    Too fierce!


    The spear, following the gap in the black serpent Yan Xuan''s wing blade, spun and thrust viciously into its gaping maw, piercing straight through the head!


    Yan Xuan, dead!


    At this moment, it seemed as if the world itself grew silent.


    The blood serpent Wu Sihai and the purple monkey Zi Pa were extremely shocked as they watched this scene, feeling the terrible might of that thrust.


    "What?"


    "This thrust?" Even those fleeing far away, like Yan Jing, Luo Chan and even Lin Yue, Dean Hai watching through a screen projection in the Star Realm, were equally astonished at this development.


    Li Yuan, facing three on his own, among them including two Flying Heaven Warrior powerhouses, had managed to counter-kill a True Intent Second Rank exotic beast in a very short time?


    ...huh!


    The four Li Yuans in the void simultaneously turned their heads, looking at the still-shocked blood serpent Wu Sihai and purple monkey Zi Pa, revealing a set of white teeth: "It''s time to send you on your way!"


    The two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts looked at each other.


    "Run!" Their massive bodies instantly retreated, fleeing towards the distance.


    "Run?"


    "Can you escape?" Li Yuan took a step forward, combining the mysteries of the two true intents, sensing the vastness of the earth as well as the fluctuations of the wind''s true intent...His speed soared immediately.

 Chapter 285 The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement of 50% Spiritual Awakening Level

    In the command center outside the Star Realm, Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and a group of Flying Heaven Warriors were unbelievably shocked as they watched a scene in the projection.The fierce battle that just took place had them extremely worried.


    They wished they could personally rush into the Star Realm to fight with the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa... but this was only a Second Level Star Realm, and the Flying Heaven Warriors from the outside couldn''t enter.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors could only guard outside the Star Realm''s channel, preventing the Cloud Beast Civilization''s armies from marching straight in to attack Blue Star.


    Flying Heaven Warriors from the outside couldn''t get in.


    Exotic beasts of the Cloud Beast Civilization like Wu Sihai and Purple Pa, who broke through within the Star Realm, were trapped inside forever, unable to leave. Experience exclusive tales on empire


    Yet today''s battle had reversed the situation in an instant.


    "That spear technique that just exploded?"


    "How did Li Yuan manage to do that?"


    "Such spear technique?" It wasn''t strange that these Flying Heaven Warriors were startled, for Li Yuan''s performance was truly terrifying.


    Through the light screen, they couldn''t sense the specific fluctuations of heaven and earth, not grasping the mysteries.


    They only felt that the spear was both fast and eerie.


    Facing the spear technique exhibited by Li Yuan, the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa chose to flee for their lives, which suggested how astonishing the might of that spear must have been.


    Subconsciously, Lin Yue and Dean Hai exchanged a glance.


    The two of them knew the specifics of Li Yuan''s situation well.


    Especially Dean Hai, who had personally sparred with Li Yuan, was the most familiar with Li Yuan''s combat methods.


    Just discussing the True Meaning of Earth, even if Li Yuan had broken through from the initial stage to the intermediate rank of True Intent, he probably couldn''t have achieved such an effect. Like Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, who once fought against Lude Nef, he was only slightly at a disadvantage, but his life was not in danger.


    The Mystery of Wind? Even less likely!


    After all, before this, Li Yuan hadn''t even formed the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind.


    The two powerful Flying Heaven experts had extremely high standards and, based on Li Yuan''s situation, had both thought of a possibility¡ªthe combination of the Mysteries of True Intent.


    "Could it be that Li Yuan has just condensed the True Meaning of Wind? And combined the mysteries of the two True Intents?" Dean Hai held his breath, his heart trembling at the thought.


    A year ago, when Li Yuan left Kunlun Martial University, it seemed he had not even begun to grasp the Mystery of Wind.


    Just one year to condense True Intent?


    "The combination of the Mysteries of True Intent." Lin Yue thought of more: "In the history of our Seven Star Civilization, there are hardly a few who could combine True Intents."


    "What a monster!"


    "No wonder Lanyue was certain that Li Yuan would become a being comparable to the predecessor Dongfang Ji, or even surpass him to become Divine." Lin Yue thought back to not long ago.


    At that time, Lin Lanyue had returned from the World within Worlds, and before going to the Martial Divine Star Realm, she had come to see him. Father and daughter had had an in-depth conversation, which included discussing Li Yuan. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The combination of different True Intent Mysteries, complementing each other''s weaknesses, indeed held terrifying power.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization actually all understood this point.


    But why did they almost discourage the strong from doing so? Or rather, why did no strong being attempt it?


    Because just comprehending multiple True Intents of heaven and earth was already incredibly difficult; most people only had the talent for one Law of the Great Dao.


    That was only the first step, which had already stumped countless people.


    The truly difficult part was the second step, the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent... The difficulty was much higher than simply comprehending True Intent, so much so that throughout the history of the entire Seven Star Civilization, not even a few demigods managed to combine the Mysteries of True Intent.


    Li Yuan could do it because he had, one, what could be called a top-notch external cultivation condition, which made him progress swiftly on the paths of two Mysteries of heaven and earth.


    Two, it was his innate talent.


    He seemed to be naturally skilled at combining the Laws of the Great Dao of Earth and Wind... This was also what amazed Lie Feng Semi Divine, who before Li Yuan''s departure as apprentice, affirmed that Li Yuan was on the right path, encouraging him to persevere in following his own heart.


    "If it''s really the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent."


    "With such a short time to grasp two great True Intents, in the future he has a complete chance to step into the Laws of the Great Dao... Once the Mysteries are combined?" Lin Yue hardly dared to think.


    It was as if he could see an extremely terrifying being, rising rapidly with astonishing speed.


    ...


    Inside the Rob Sea Star Realm, above the void of the contiguous mountain range, Yan Jing and Luo Chan were also flabbergasted.


    "Is Li Yuan this strong? Why did he have us escape first?" Luo Chan couldn''t help asking.


    "He must have just made a breakthrough," said Yan Jing, with a hint of a smile, "Or maybe... he doesn''t even know how strong he has become."


    "Let''s go, follow them."


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Luo Chan and Yan Jing had abruptly stopped in their tracks, following closely behind, they turned into two streaks of light, dashing towards where Li Yuan and the others had gone.


    ...


    Whoosh! Li Yuan moved erratically like a gust of wind, his speed had surged, rapidly closing in on Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa.


    "Unexpected!"


    "When I was observing the movement technique of that black Flying Serpent, I had a realization, and just began to form the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind¡­ which led to such a transformation." Although Li Yuan was pursuing the two Flying Heaven beings, his mind involuntarily recalled the scene from just earlier.


    As soon as the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind formed,


    Unconsciously, the True Meanings of Earth and Wind combined, making Li Yuan aware that his Perception Ability was soaring. In that instant, he felt the vast and unfathomable heavens and earth, touched upon even deeper mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, space... endless space...


    There was no end!


    What is called the vast earth is first and foremost because space is vast and boundless.


    What is called fluctuating with the wind, the wind as well roams freely in endless space.


    The vast heavens and earth, the limitless starry sky, all exist within space.


    Countless mysteries of the Laws operate within space.


    "[Combination of the True Meaning of Earth and the initial form of the True Meaning of Wind, comprehension of a trace of the Mysteries of Space]." Li Yuan glimpsed this prompt on the Divine Palace panel out of the corner of his eye.


    But there was no change on the Divine Palace panel. It didn''t show a reminder like ''Mysteries of Space 1%'' or anything like that.

 Chapter 285 The Mystery of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_2

    But Li Yuan was still both astonished and shocked."Mysteries of Space?"


    "Could it be the legendary, supreme Space Law?" Li Yuan found it somewhat unbelievable in his heart, "The combination of Earth and Wind Mysteries actually allowed me to touch upon the Mysteries of Space?"


    The Mysteries of Space were not recorded in any of the Seven Star Civilization data archives that Li Yuan had access to.


    Perhaps the related information had not been made available to Li Yuan yet.


    The reason Li Yuan knew about it was because of Ancient Torch Divine''s inheritance, which clearly alerted and explained in the "All Things Divine Body" cultivation information.


    To cultivate the Supreme Star Technique "All Things Divine Body" to the Sixth Rank, one must have a certain comprehension of space.


    Meanwhile, in the inheritance information of the "All Things Divine Body," there was a description of the ''Space Law.''


    Space, Time.


    They are the origins of all Laws, the cornerstone of all things in motion.


    Like the Wind Law, the Law of Earth, and others, they are the manifestations of the operation of heaven and earth. Demigods and many Sky-Flying powerhouses all have the hope of comprehending and stepping into the threshold. However, the Mystery of Space is too profound, usually only Divine beings could gradually come into contact with the Mysteries of Space...


    "There is no display."


    "That means, my comprehension is too shallow, not even approaching 1% of the Mysteries of Space," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan dared not even dream of comprehending the Space Law now.


    Too unrealistic!


    His Life Level was insufficient, his spiritual power not strong enough, he couldn''t even perceive the fluctuations of the vast space.


    "Just now, I only used the combination of Earth and Wind True Intents vaguely to sense a trace," Li Yuan harbored a bit of anticipation in his heart, "This means, the combined Mysteries of Earth and Wind Laws might gradually lead to comprehending the Mysteries of Space?"


    This was undoubtedly a tremendous surprise.


    "I''ve only just touched upon a trace of the Mystery and am far from even the threshold," Li Yuan thought to himself, "What I can do is continue to comprehend the True Intents of Earth and Wind and strive to combine the two."


    "Let nature take its course in comprehension, and perhaps one day, I''ll truly step into the threshold of the Mysteries of Space."


    In the past, when Li Yuan comprehended the two Great Laws'' Mysteries, he only desired to follow the path of the Divine being in the Martial God inheritance and maximize his strength.


    But now, he had a higher pursuit and aspiration¡ªThe Mysteries of Space!


    This is the true path of light.


    ...


    It seemed slow to speak of.


    In reality, it took less than a second for Li Yuan to think everything through, and he didn''t delay the pursuit to kill.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan, after his breakthrough, exploded with astonishing speed and quickly caught up with Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Ape Zipa.


    Neither of them had condensed the True Meaning of Wind, and their flying speed was far inferior to Li Yuan''s post-breakthrough.


    "Whoosh!"


    A long spear suddenly thrust out, following the invisible fluctuations between heaven and earth, emitting an eerie and dazzling spear light. The unpredictable spear light pierced through the sky, directly assaulting Blood Serpent Wu Sihai. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blood Serpent Wu Sihai!


    In the related intelligence, he was the strongest leader of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea, naturally making him Li Yuan''s primary target.


    "Kill!" Blood Serpent Wu Sihai suddenly roared, swinging his claws, while also spewing out endless cold air from his mouth. Layers of cold air condensed in front of him in the void, like a huge barrier.


    "Boom!"


    The spear''s might was swift and fierce, striking directly on the rapidly condensing ice, the tip of the spear erupting with power and instantly shattering layers of ice.


    Then, without any reduction in force, the spear''s power swept across the Vast Sky, like a dragon emerging from the sea, directly thrusting into the center of Blood Serpent Wu Sihai''s howling claw.


    The surface of the claw glimmered with a metallic sheen, clearly wearing a combat device.


    "Sizzle~Bang!"


    The Black Chen Spear was exceptionally sharp. With one thrust, it almost penetrated the claw''s surface Battle Garment, piercing into the flesh of the claw, and the terrifying impact also sent Blood Serpent Wu Sihai flying backward.


    As for Li Yuan, he only took two steps back.


    In such a direct confrontation, Li Yuan had already completely suppressed Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    "This mysterious True Intent Prime Warrior has indeed broken through; his attack power is definitely comparable to Level 33," Blood Serpent Wu Sihai thought with great alarm.


    With every level increase in Sky-Flying Level Life, there''s a significant increase in base strength, coupled with the difference in Mysteries of True Intent, weapons, Star Techniques, and many other aspects... this makes every level difference among Sky-Flying Warriors quite pronounced.


    For example, a Level 35 Sky-Flying Peak Warrior, under normal circumstances, if in close combat, could kill a Level 30 Sky-Flying Warrior with just one or two moves.


    Before the breakthrough, when Li Yuan and the monkey Zipa fought, they exerted all their strength, and the attack power was close to Level 32.


    And now, as a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan''s attacks were comparable to Level 33, which was already astonishing.


    "If it wasn''t for the Black Chen Spear,"


    "Even with the breakthrough,"


    "My Spear Technique''s attack power would probably just slightly overtake Blood Serpent Wu Sihai," Li Yuan silently reflected.


    He had broken through the Mystery of Wind ''Phantom Body,'' which did not greatly enhance his direct attack power.


    However, his improvement in other aspects was quite substantial.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure moved, instantly dividing into four Phantom Bodies, transforming into four swift lights, hurtling towards Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Countless spear shadows enveloped Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, each spear shadow elusively difficult to track, all containing terrifying might.


    "Not good!" The color drained from Blood Serpent Wu Sihai''s face, as his worst fear had finally arrived.


    Even with his Divine Sense, he could not distinguish which Phantom Body was Li Yuan''s true form.


    "Rumble~"


    Waves of cold air surged crazily from Wu Sihai, enveloping an area of a hundred meters around him, trying to freeze Li Yuan''s Phantom Bodies... Meanwhile, wisps of pale yellow currents also emerged in the void, clashing crazily with the cold air.


    The combined Mysteries of the Earth and Wind True Intents, with their strong might, were already on par with the high rank of True Intents.

 Chapter 285 The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_3

    The Domain of True Intent formed in an instant, though still inferior to Wu Sihai''s Domain Star Technique, was barely able to contend.Boom boom boom~ The collision of the two great Domains had little effect on Li Yuan''s Phantom Body.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Wu Sihai completely lost it, his claws whistled, his wings slashed like knives, his massive tail swooshed and lashed... Every part of his body became a weapon, frantically blocking Li Yuan''s unpredictably enigmatic Spear Technique, where the real and the fake were indiscernible.


    "Puchi!"


    "Bang!" Scales flew everywhere, copious amounts of blood splattered, and even flesh was directly torn apart by the spear blade. Wu Sihai was completely suppressed by Li Yuan.


    Perhaps the last attack of this phantom form was false,


    but the next spear thrust turned real.


    The essence of the Phantom Body is in the illusion; as the flowing light continuously crisscrossed, Li Yuan kept changing the position of his true body.


    "Zippa, save me!" Blood Serpent Wu Sihai transmitted a furious and panicked plea.


    "Run!" S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Run!"


    Boom! The monkey Zippa went crazy, turning into a streak of light as he rapidly fled. Seeing Wu Sihai''s miserable state, there was only one thought in his mind¡ªescape!


    Survival was of utmost importance!


    "Damn bastard!" Wu Sihai roared in anger, but still couldn''t change his fate.


    Even though he tried to flee, Li Yuan was too fast, tangling with him time and again, causing Wu Sihai''s speed to sharply decrease, and then forcing him to face battle... Wu Sihai''s injuries grew increasingly severe.


    Boom boom boom~


    Wu Sihai''s massive tail violently lashed out, striking the mountainside and causing the entire mountain to collapse thunderously.


    The battle between the two powerhouses caused mountain after mountain to fall.


    Li Yuan had to admit that the life force of a Flying Heaven expert was indeed shocking. Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, equipped with full Combat Armor and invoking his powerful Origin Power... Even if Li Yuan''s Black Chen Spear hit his body repeatedly, it could only pierce slightly.


    But the steady increase of injuries weakened the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai''s resistance even further.


    "Whoosh!"


    As another domineering spear thrust attacked, Blood Serpent Wu Sihai barely attempted to dodge, but he was a beat slow. His huge eyes narrowed with a hint of terror, and he could only watch helplessly as the long spear pierced through.


    "Puchi~" The long spear penetrated the eye of the snake, and the Spear Light exploded in an instant, turning the inside of Blood Serpent Wu Sihai''s head into mush.


    His consciousness was completely lost.


    The surging Origin Power within him instantly lost its response along with his armor, and then the huge snakehead burst violently.


    Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, dead!


    "[You have killed a Third Rank creature, breaking the shackles of the Divine Palace, and obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment]"


    "[After your spiritual power reaches Level 37, the limit of Spiritual Awakening will increase from 45% to 50%. As the shackles of the Divine Palace have been broken, once the Spiritual Awakening Limit reaches 50%, it will continue to increase to 60%]" Two consecutive Divine Palace prompts flashed by.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan immediately noticed, a glint of surprise and some emotion in his eyes, "Spiritual power requirement is actually Level 37."


    Long time ago,


    from past experience, Li Yuan had surmised that to elevate the Spiritual Awakening Level limit from 50% to 60%, one had to kill a Third Rank Alien Race.


    But!!


    Merely killing a Third Rank Alien Race was not enough; one had to first elevate it to 50%.


    Doing so requires an extremely high level of spiritual power. Initially, Li Yuan guessed it was Level 35, but even after his spiritual power surpassed Level 36, the limit of Spiritual Awakening did not increase.


    Today, it was finally confirmed.


    It must be spiritual power reaching Level 37.


    "To awaken the Six Star Pulse, the upper limit of Life Level is 36.9, unless one awakens the Seven Star Veins, otherwise it is impossible to break through," Li Yuan muttered, "To reach Level 37 in spiritual power is not that hard, but it will also take some time."


    ...


    Swoosh!


    After killing the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, Li Yuan''s figure shot across the Vast Sky, swiftly closing in on the three fighting figures several kilometers away.


    That giant golden spider was furiously entangled by Yan Jing and Luo Chan, unable to break free.


    As for the monkey Zippa? He was a mid-stage Flying Heaven powerhouse and had taken the opportunity to flee tens of kilometers away during Li Yuan and Wu Sihai''s skirmish, faintly disappearing at the edge of the world.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan arrived like lightning, glanced at the golden spider¡ªa Second Rank Exotic Beast with consolidated True Intent and also mighty in strength, on par with Yan Jing.


    And those spider webs it spat out, suspended in the void, further handicapped Yan Jing and Luo Chan.


    "Whoosh!"


    A Spear Light dashed across Vast Sky, heading directly for the spider Jin Mu.


    "Roar~" The golden spider made a strange cry, its eight legs retracting rapidly in an attempt to avoid the spear.


    "Puchi~" What seemed like a miss suddenly multiplied, the Spear Light appearing to twist the void, piercing through the head of the golden spider before it could react.


    Dead!


    ... "What?"


    "It died with just one spear thrust?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan were on the side, their eyes wide and feeling a chill in their hearts.


    It was terrifying indeed.


    They didn''t know that in terms of attack potency, Li Yuan was not considered too strong. Compared to Lude Nef before his breakthrough, he was only slightly superior... but the combination of Li Yuan''s Earth and Wind True Intent Mysteries infused his Spear Technique with both attributes.


    The threat was astonishing!


    That was why Blood Serpent Wu Sihai could survive against Lude Nef but perished against Li Yuan.


    "Yan Jing, Luo Chan, you continue to sweep the other target areas," Li Yuan''s voice echoed in their minds, "I''ll go after that Flying Heaven Exotic Beast."


    Boom!


    Li Yuan''s speed did not slow in the slightest as he shot up, howling in pursuit of the monkey Zippa, who had already escaped fifty to sixty kilometers away.

 Chapter 286 Attack the Hive! Who is he?

    "Li Yuan has gone to kill.""What about us?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan hesitated for a moment when they heard Li Yuan''s command.


    Suddenly.


    "Follow Li Yuan''s orders," Lin Yue''s voice sounded in both of their ears at the same time.


    "Yes!" Yan Jing and Luo Chan immediately responded, and then transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly heading towards the other targeted areas they had planned.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s body flowed with the mysteries of two major True Intents, his spirit closely aligned with the earth and sensing the invisible fluctuations of wind as he rapidly closed in on the fleeing monkey-like Zippa.


    "He''s really fast at escaping! I can only shorten the distance by a little over a hundred meters every second?" Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    This meant that their flying speeds were very close.


    Flying speed is determined by many factors such as the mysteries of the heavens and the earth, Origin Power, Star Techniques, Treasure Instruments, and so on.


    As a Prime Warrior who solely relied on the mysteries of the heavens and earth to maintain flight, reaching roughly five times the speed of sound, Li Yuan was already considered quite fast among flying martial artists.


    "If I achieve Flying Heaven status, with my super strong Origin Power, it would also significantly increase my flying speed," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Boom! Li Yuan was in no hurry as he pursued his quarry.


    After all, as long as the distance between them was closing and as long as he could lock onto the life essence of his quarry... he would definitely be able to catch up.


    Boom!


    The incredibly thick thighs stomped hard on the void, immediately fleeing like a streak of light.


    Zippa the monkey was fleeing desperately, his heart trembling non-stop and even feeling some fury: "Yan Xuan''s dead, Jin Mu''s dead, even Wu Sihai is dead... and yet, I''m still being pursued? How overbearing!"


    All were dead, leaving only him.


    "His flying speed is faster than mine."


    "He''ll catch up sooner or later." Zippa''s mind worked rapidly: "I can''t escape the Star Realm... Only by fleeing to the nests of the several great Mother Beasts can I live."


    "I have to escape to Elden''s place! The fourth Mother Beast''s nest has developed more than half, capable of exerting enough strength." Zippa decided in an instant.


    Of the four major Mother Beast nests, three are mature, known by the Seven Star Civilization, yet have remained unshakable.


    The last one is a nest recently laid out by the Cloud Beast Civilization and still growing.


    "As long as I can get there alive, I will surely survive," Zippa felt a strong desire within him.


    According to regulations, he shouldn''t lead Li Yuan to the nest.


    But survival is crucial!


    The other three mature Mother Beast nests, the closest one to him, are more than 3000 kilometers away. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Only the fourth Mother Beast nest is about 1200 kilometers away.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two powerful beings, one in pursuit and the other fleeing, continually broke through the vast sky, their bodies merging with the heavens and the earth... perfectly controlling their power while flying.


    If it were a life-or-death fight, it would be much harder to control power so perfectly.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, be careful," Lin Yue''s voice suddenly rang in Li Yuan''s ear: "The direction he''s fleeing in, from a straight line, does not head towards any of the three Mother Beast nests."


    "What?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, the shift to pursuit had happened so quickly, just ten seconds after killing Wu Sihai, and he hadn''t realized this yet.


    "There are three possibilities," Lin Yue''s voice sounded: "First, there might be Sky-Flying level combatants from the Cloud Beast Civilization heading this way."


    "Second, the straight line he''s rushing along could lead him to a place where he can save his life."


    "Third, he either ran in the wrong direction, or he deliberately led you toward something¡­ But that makes almost no sense, since the locations of the three major brood nests have long been exposed, and he should be aware of that."


    "Understood," Li Yuan had grasped Lin Yue''s meaning. As a Flying Heaven level powerhouse capable of flight, there''s no need to take a detour.


    Flying straight is the shortest distance.


    And now that the purple ape Zippa has forsaken even Wu Sihai''s life in its desire to escape, it must be incredibly desperate to survive.


    "Could it be that there''s something on the road ahead that could block me, or threaten my life?" A sense of vigilance rose in Li Yuan''s heart.


    Although his own strength had greatly increased, at best he could hope to escape from the hands of a Flying Heaven peak powerhouse, but he was far from invincible.


    There were far too many things that could threaten his life.


    But Li Yuan would not give up the chase... As long as he could kill this Zippa, the threat of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm would drastically decrease.


    After all, it would be extremely difficult for the Cloud Beast Civilization to cultivate another mid-Flying Heaven level warrior in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    If he did not kill it today and let it escape, Zippa might completely hide away, only to reemerge after decades... How could he possibly stay at the Prime Warrior realm for that long?


    "I can''t expect a stronger Prime Warrior to emerge from the younger generation than myself," Li Yuan''s eyes were filled with killing intent, "As long as I kill him."


    "Next, I can attempt to eradicate the three major brood nests, thoroughly cleansing the Rob Sea Star Realm, returning peace to Xia Country." Li Yuan had never forgotten his initial purpose throughout his journey of cultivation.


    The three major brood nests are right there, they will not leave.


    ...


    Thousands of kilometers away.


    In the mountainside next to the fourth brood nest, the only remaining black Exotic Beast among the three Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, ''Elden,'' was shocked as he watched the scenes revealed in the projections.


    The scenes in the three projections were rather chaotic and even blurry at times.


    They were the last images sent by Jin Mu and Wu Sihai before their deaths, as well as the messages transmitted back by Zippa... A figure in black, with an obscured face, but overwhelmingly domineering, his long spear piercing the vast sky with chilling sharpness, a strength and imperiousness that made one''s heart tremble.


    "A master of Spear Technique?"


    "A suspected combination of the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind?"


    "When did a Seven Star Civilization give birth to such a terrifyingly talented Prime Warrior?" Elden felt a chill in his heart; this power was too frightening.


    Far beyond him.


    For a Prime Warrior to reach such heights, how profound must his skill and comprehension be?


    Sixth Stage initial rank comprehension is a common standard for a mid-Flying Heaven level warrior.


    Sixth Stage intermediate and high rank comprehension marks the level of a Flying Heaven peak.


    Like Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef, and Li Yuan before and after his breakthrough, their skill comprehension levels could all be considered at the Flying Heaven peak level, but the gaps between them were also significant.


    Sixth Stage Perfection comprehension belongs to the Demigod level.


    "The ability to form four Phantom Bodies with a single thought, and his True Intent Domain being able to withstand Wu Sihai''s Domain." Elden mused, "This human Prime Warrior must be of high rank True Intent."


    Moreover, after searching through many past records, he found no trace of this mysterious talent.


    Suddenly~


    Woosh~ A large number of lights converged, quickly forming a light screen projection, in which a giant Flying Serpent was vaguely visible. The serpent''s surface seemed to be undulating with a blood-colored flow, at first glance, resembling an enlarged version of the blood serpent Wu Sihai.


    In the projection, the serpent''s eyes were filled with icy intent, seemingly looking down upon Elden.


    "Elden." A deep voice echoed in the mountainside.


    "Saint Lord Wudong Xue." Elden bowed slightly, at first glance appearing quite respectful.


    Within the Cloud Beast Civilization, only a Demigod could be addressed as Saint Lord.


    "The intelligence you reported is very timely; the mysterious genius of the Seven Star Civilization is indeed unknown to us," a deep voice rose. "You have accrued great merit."


    "Soon, your reward will be sent to the Star Realm!"


    "But as of now, Wu Sihai is dead, and Zippa... may not make it back alive." The deep voice continued, "I need you to hold this mother nest beast lair."


    "As long as you can hold it, it''s as if you''ve gained another great achievement."


    Elden fell silent.


    Hold this place? What a joke!


    "Demigod, I can''t do it," Elden said, shaking his head repeatedly. "That human Prime Warrior is too terrifying... I think we should avoid the sharp edge for now and retreat immediately."


    "Are you planning to abandon the mother nest beast lair? This is an order." A trace of fury seeped through the deep voice.


    He was just about to go on.


    "Demigod, the signal isn''t great," suddenly said Elden, and then his mind stirred.


    Boom!


    The entire projection instantly dissipated.


    "Hmph! You want me to stay here and defend to the death?" Elden muttered, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness: "You can''t command Zippa, can''t make him not flee this way... As long as the people of the Seven Stars aren''t stupid, they will definitely suspect this direction."


    "It will be exposed soon."


    "They want me to defend to the death? A mother nest beast lair that hasn''t fully developed? Even with me added, the probability of holding it doesn''t exceed seventy percent."


    Seventy percent hope sounds high.


    But Elden doesn''t want to risk a thirty percent chance of death.


    If his people were willing to provide benefits, he wouldn''t mind following orders, but not at the expense of his own life.


    Previously, Wu Sihai was the great chief, and everything was basically up to Wu Sihai.


    Or rather, the three great Flying Heaven exotic beasts kept each other in check.


    "Hmph! Wu Sihai is dead; Zippa is doomed. From now on, I call the shots in this part of the Star Realm," Elden swiped with his massive hoof claw.


    He quickly packed up all the items inside the mountain and especially covered up any traces of his presence.


    Boom!


    With a great movement, Elden swiftly fled along another passage in the mountain belly.


    ...


    In the core of the Cloud Beast Civilization, a vast planet teemed with countless exotic beasts.


    The entire planet was governed by many temples, each established by the civilization''s demigods.


    Today.


    In one imposing temple that resembled a great serpent, towering nearly a kilometer high, the whole temple looked like a giant serpent''s lair¡ªquite different from the usual human temples.


    "He must die!"


    "This Elden dared to disobey orders; he must die," roared the Flying Serpent demigod, emitting a powerful and fierce aura.


    The raging sound echoed through the temple.


    It terrified the many second-rank and even third-rank exotic beasts in the vicinity of the temple, causing them to kneel and cower on the ground.


    "Damn it!" Wudong Xue, the demigod, felt his heart bleeding.


    He had paid a tremendous price to trade for a ''juvenile mother nest'', and was it to be lost just like this?


    After all, why did he value the Rob Sea Star Realm so much? Because its resources and territory size vastly surpassed the fiefdom he held within his civilization.


    Of course, he was not the only demigod to invest resources in the Rob Sea... it was a collective decision by many demigods, with him directly in charge.


    "Now, we can only hope that the mysterious Prime Warrior is not strong enough," Wudong Xue, the demigod, thought to himself.


    What can he do if Elden doesn''t follow orders?


    Cool as a cucumber!


    Separated by Star Realms, he couldn''t do anything to the other party... and as long as Elden hasn''t betrayed the civilization, when he contacts him again, he can''t even get mad.


    Just like Elden, Wudong Xue, the demigod, looked up at the blurred projection of the figure in black, equally filled with wonder: "Who is he?"


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm? Zippa is dead?" Wudong Xue, the demigod, received the message and shook his head irritably: "Fool!"


    "They''re all fools!"


    ...


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    "Woosh!"


    That final, domineering spear thrust pierced right through the head of the simian Zippa, instantly obliterating all of his consciousness.


    Zippa''s massive body crashed down, falling heavily onto the mountain below, motionless.


    Flying Heaven-level life forms wouldn''t die immediately even if their hearts burst.


    Only the head was absolutely vital.


    "Finally killed him. Practicing that Body Refining Star Technique really made him difficult to kill, much harder than that Blood Serpent," muttered Li Yuan, shaking his head slightly, gripping the long spear in his hand.


    Just now, he had chased for 600 kilometers before finally catching up to his foe.


    The two had battled fiercely along the way, or rather, Zippa frantically fled while Li Yuan circled around him, attacking time and again... After another hundred kilometers of prolonged fighting, the towering simian finally fell unwillingly.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan waved his hand and gathered up the storage magical treasure, the huge wolf-tooth club, combat armor, and many other treasures left by the other party.


    In the end, only a corpse remained.


    "Target ''Simian Zippa'' is confirmed dead, coordinates..." Li Yuan quickly sent the location coordinates to the base.


    A corpse of a Flying Heaven-level life form was of little use to him personally.


    But for the entire Seven Star Civilization, it held a certain research and commemorative value and would be counted for Seven Stars Points.


    "Fighting all the way here."


    "This simian Zippa fled in this direction; there must be secrets ahead," Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, following the same direction to rapidly inquire.


    While flying, Li Yuan was fully sensing the fluctuations of the world around him, wary of missing anything.


    ...


    Just ten minutes later.


    "Hmm?" After flying for hundreds of kilometers and inquiring all along the way, Li Yuan suddenly stopped, turning his head towards another direction; he had a vague sensation.


    Tens of kilometers away, the earth was sending out strange vibrations.


    Boom!


    He immediately corrected his direction slightly and sped over; tens of seconds later, he finally saw it clearly.


    "Another mother nest beast lair?" Li Yuan stared at the canyon filled with countless dark mists, his eyes erupting with an astonishing murderous intent.

 Chapter 287 Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood why the Cloud Beast Civilization had suddenly launched such a massive offensive, even deploying two Second Rank Exotic Beasts with condensed True Intent.It turned out there was a queen''s nest hidden in the dark?


    The previous three queen''s nests had been drawing the essence of the earth from the Rob Sea Star Realm, continuously giving birth to a massive number of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, and every one to two years, they would initiate a great war.


    Thus, they already posed a great threat to Xia Country, compelling it to keep a million-strong army on standby near the passage to Star Realm year-round.


    If one more were to be added? The pressure would only be greater.


    "This queen''s nest seems not yet to have grown to its peak," Li Yuan compared it with the intelligence he knew and quickly came to a conclusion.


    And Li Yuan''s perception ability was astonishing; he could generally sense the surging black fog within that gorge was faintly continuing to expand. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It must be destroyed," was the thought that immediately followed in Li Yuan''s mind.


    Even if, for the time being, he couldn''t destroy the three mature queen''s nests, this fourth one must not be allowed to grow any further.


    "Here, it''s not possible to contact the base to send a message," Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brow.


    Once past five thousand kilometers from the entrance and exit of the Star Realm, the signal would be cut off. (Chapter 282)


    And the location where Li Yuan was at the moment was nearly six thousand kilometers from the Star Realm entrance and exit... well outside the range for signal reception.


    Now, Li Yuan stood alone.


    "Kill!" Li Yuan thought for only a few seconds before he grasped his Long Spear, transforming into a streak of light, bursting into the gorge.


    Swish!


    Other areas of the Star Realm might also be desolate, but there were still some plants around, and from time to time, you could see quite a few low-lying trees, but the sides of this enormous gorge, stretching several kilometers across, were completely silent, showing not even a hint of life.


    Even the rocks and soil were faintly tainted black.


    It was as if everything had been polluted, instinctively arousing disgust in Li Yuan''s heart.


    Closing in quickly.


    Discover stories at empire


    Danger! Danger!


    As Li Yuan drew within about two kilometers, his formidable spiritual power intuited a significant threat... as if the enveloping fog contained a grave danger, one that could threaten his life.


    "Indeed, this is a queen''s nest still in the midst of growth and transformation," Li Yuan''s eyes shifted slightly, "Judging by the aura it gives off and its size, it should already have grown past halfway."


    About the queen''s nest.


    The Seven Star Civilization had once breached one, hence there was detailed intelligence, especially since Li Yuan entered the Rob Sea Star Realm... he had obtained all the data on the queen''s nests.


    It was a very special symbiotic life form.


    Not a single entity, but rather composed of a large number of nurturing creatures that merged together, with the strongest core creature at its center.


    They also leveraged a rare treasure, "Myriad Beasts Blood Source" to form a powerful and special Origin Power Array, which allowed them to continuously draw energy from all directions of the land to supply the nurturing creatures for breeding Exotic Beasts.


    To breach a queen''s nest, it sounds simple: break the Origin Power Array, seize the Myriad Beasts Blood Source, and the whole nest would naturally collapse on its own.


    But!!


    Aside from the time in a Third Level Star Realm when the Seven Star Civilization happened to break through a powerful nest and got a glimpse of its secrets... they never breached another one since.


    As for the three major queen''s nests in the Rob Sea Star Realm, years ago, Lude Nef had led a large number of Flying Heaven Level Prime Warriors into battle there, facing off in a bloody war, even killing several of the Cloud Beast Civilization''s top combatants.


    Yet in the end, they could only retreat helplessly.


    "In terms of strength, I should be slightly stronger than Lude Nef in aspects such as attacking, fleeing, and Divine Body Defense, except possibly in stealth," Li Yuan thought to himself, not yet aware that Lude Nef had made a breakthrough.


    "If even I can''t manage it, then I fear no Prime Warrior of my Seven Star Civilization could," a cold light flickered in Li Yuan''s eyes, "And as time goes by, the might of this queen''s nest will only grow, making it even harder to conquer."


    With that thought,


    "Hum!"


    A thought crossed Li Yuan''s mind, and within a radius of about fifty meters centered on him, strands of earthy yellow and green auras instantly appeared.


    A domain combining two great True Intents!


    Overall, its power had greatly increased compared to before he had condensed the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Wind.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan, transformed into a stream of light, maintained a hundred-meter diameter domain akin to a vast sphere, thundering forward and rushing towards the queen''s nest shrouded in numerous black mist.


    These mists were the strange powers exhaled by many creatures, meant to protect and conceal themselves.


    "Rumble~"


    As the domain of True Intent descended overwhelmingly, it rolled forward like a terrifying steamroller, dispersing the black mist right in front of it.


    But farther away, more and more black mist surged crazily.


    "Roar!!"


    "Roar!" From within the endless black mist, angry howls and roars could be faintly heard, as if countless Exotic Beasts were roaring in fury.


    In a blink of an eye,


    Li Yuan, with his domain, plunged hundreds of meters into the black mist, and even the domain of True Intent was nearly submerged by the black mist... but as the domain dispersed a great deal of the mist, it became much thinner.


    Thus, from the outside, Li Yuan''s domain of True Intent could still be seen.


    And within that thick black fog,


    Li Yuan already began directly clashing with the massive queen''s nest.


    It was only now that he could vaguely glimpse the true appearance of the queen''s nest.


    There were countless black biological tissues pulsating, like a sea of flesh... seen from a great height, it was clearly an unbelievably large flesh ball.

 Chapter 287 Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    "If it were a fully mature body, a tough protective layer would form on the surface, able to easily withstand attacks from the Flying Heaven Level, even nuclear weapons would have trouble destroying it..." Li Yuan''s mind was flooded with related information.The Seven Star Civilization had conducted numerous experiments long ago.


    If it were a complete entity, Li Yuan would have no confidence in destroying it, but now it didn''t even have an outer protective layer?


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Li Yuan burst forth, his long spear stabbing out fiercely, Origin Power stimulating the Black Chen Spear, invoking the Mysteries of True Intent, and instantly creating terrifying spear lights.


    They struck upon the massive black flesh ball.


    "Rip!"


    The first spear light tore a huge wound on the flesh ball, exposing countless blood-red threads inside, resembling blood vessels, constantly breaking and dissolving.


    More spear lights fell, causing even more damage to the massive flesh ball.


    The next moment.


    "Boom!" The growing hive beast lair was in complete uproar, and a massive amount of black substance emerged from the giant flesh ball, forming terrifying black glows that surged from all directions like a flood.


    These black glows contained astonishing power.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan was also going all out, invoking the Body Refining Star Technique with a thought, his body instantly turning three meters tall, bursting forth with an infinitely robust aura, the shockwaves impacting in every direction.


    "Kill!" With a furious shout from Li Yuan, he fiercely descended upon the giant flesh ball, his legs stomping down hard, causing the flesh and blood to explode.


    A stab from the spear! Explore more at empire


    Whoosh!


    The fearsome spear light that cut through the Vast Sky pierced through large amounts of the black glows, completely tearing apart the flesh ball''s surface.


    "Rumble~"


    Li Yuan was utterly frenzied, in that instant, choosing to directly enter the depths of the hive beast lair.


    "My Origin Power is limited! In such a war of attrition, I will certainly lose. To win, there''s only one way to go."


    "Kill!"


    "With absolute strength, break directly into the heart of the hive beast lair and seize the Myriad Beasts Blood Source," Li Yuan was clear in his heart.


    Beyond this path.


    There were no other options in the short term.


    Risky? Of course, Li Yuan couldn''t guarantee coming out unscathed, but some risks are worth taking.


    If one doesn''t dare to risk attacking an immature hive beast lair, how can one claim to destroy three mature ones in the future?


    The path of cultivation.


    You must be cautious when it''s time to be cautious, but when it''s time to fight for your life, you must also be willing to go mad with effort!


    "Rumble~"


    Li Yuan fully unleashed his power, with terrifying spear lights rampaging inside the hive beast lair, dealing devastating blows to the numerous mother beasts time after time.


    Similarly.


    "Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh! Boom!" Endless black materials like a deluge, chased after Li Yuan through the vast channels within the hive beast lair... It was a pure battle of attrition.


    The countless mother beasts attempted to drain the life out of the formidable enemy using massive amounts of energy.


    ...


    While Li Yuan and the hive beast lair were locked in battle, about three hundred kilometers away from the battlefield.


    Deep underground.


    The black Exotic Beast Elden had been fleeing madly deep into the earth, more than ten kilometers down.


    He dared not stop for even a moment.


    "Hmm?" Fleeing Elden suddenly received a message, a transmission from the hive beast lair.


    "SOS!"


    "SOS!" The numerous mother beasts in the hive beast lair, which also had their own consciousness, could communicate and connect with the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    "Save them?"


    "Looks like the battle has begun," Elden thought to himself, sending back a message with a thought: "I''m on my way, just hold on a bit longer. Once I arrive, we can join forces to defeat the enemy at once. Hold on."


    "Hang in there."


    Boom!


    Having sent the message, Elden continued his frantic escape without looking back.


    ...


    Seconds and minutes ticked by.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two Flying Heaven War Machines sliced through the sky, tracing the direction where Li Yuan had disappeared, tracking him all the way.


    Inside the war machines, several Martial Artist pilots were observing the various map projections and Inquiry data.


    They were also constantly relaying this data back to an outpost base thousands of miles away.


    The outpost base would then swiftly feed the information back to the central command outside the Star Realm.


    "How are things? Can you sense number one''s signal?" Lin Yue''s voice was tinged with a hint of anxiety.


    He was very worried.


    Previously, Li Yuan had been hot on the heels of the purple monkey Zippa, and after sending the last message ''Zippa killed'', he vanished from the signal range of the outpost base.


    At that moment, both Dean Hai and Lin Yue''s hearts were in their throats. What was Li Yuan up to?


    Now, it had been so long, and their concern only grew.


    Fortunately!


    The Flying Heaven War Machines took off from the outpost base and arrived on the scene. Both war machines were equipped with ''signal relay'' capabilities, like temporary satellites, able to detect signals from even more distant areas and then relay them back.


    "Still no signal," the Flying Heaven War Machine responded. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lin Yue and Dean Hai grew more worried¡ªthe time was long enough... He should have come back by now.


    Suddenly.


    "Signal detected! The signal is weak, as if blocked by an invisible force," came the message from the silver war machine: "The signal''s location... Two hundred kilometers away, we''re calling him and heading there now."


    "No response to the call for the moment."


    Boom! Boom!


    The two war machines, capable of reaching three times the speed of sound, roared through the sky, swiftly flying towards the location of Li Yuan''s signal.


    Such multi-sonic speed war machines were very difficult for Second Rank flying Exotic Beasts to intercept. Normally, those beasts would not exceed twice the speed of sound under normal conditions.


    ...


    Outside the Star Realm, at the command center.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and several other Flying Heaven Warriors watched anxiously as images relayed back from the war machines unfolded on the screen.

 Chapter 287 Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3

    Not long after.In the projected image, a huge canyon scene appeared, with only thin black fog remaining within the canyon.


    At the same time, an unimaginably immense lump of flesh, revealing only its top part which stood over a hundred meters tall and extended beyond a kilometer in length, like a mountain of meat, appeared within the line of sight of a group of Flying Heaven Warriors... It was simply too colossal.


    It was as if a gigantic sphere was deeply buried underground, with only a small portion of its top exposed amidst layers of rock and earth.


    "A nest behemoth?" S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This!!"


    "This is a new nest behemoth." The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was shocked.


    They were very clear about the location of the two war machines, which were very far away from the three mature nest behemoths, and those three were even larger... This was definitely a new nest behemoth.


    At that moment, even without Li Yuan''s report, these Flying Heaven Warriors had already understood the intentions of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization wanted to establish a new nest behemoth to accumulate more powerful forces and launch a stronger attack against Xia Country.


    "Report."


    "According to the signal location, number one... is right inside this newly emerged nest behemoth." Messages from the war machine came in: "The whole nest behemoth is shaking, with huge energy fluctuations being transmitted back."


    "It''s battle!"


    "They are fighting! There''s a strong presence battling inside the nest behemoth." The war machine continued to send back messages.


    In the external command center, the group of Flying Heaven Warriors were stunned, as they clearly understood the situation.


    Li Yuan!!


    Discover stories with empire


    He, all by himself, had actually gone straight into the nest behemoth? It was too crazy.


    Even if this nest behemoth had not yet fully matured, its overall combat power was definitely at the Flying Heaven Level, and far stronger than the ape-like Zippa or the bloody serpent Wusihai.


    "Can he win?"


    "At least he must come out alive." The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was extremely nervous.


    Having witnessed Li Yuan''s terrifying strength, and considering his age, in the eyes of these Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan''s importance definitely far outweighed that of a nest behemoth... He was a future Semi-Divine strong presence.


    In the entire Xia Country, there had only been three Semi-Divines born.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom!!" In the light screen projection.


    The surface of the grandiose nest behemoth suddenly shook, followed by a thunderous explosion, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, revealing a terrifying bloody hole over a hundred meters in diameter.


    Whoosh!


    A gigantic earthy-yellow energy sphere shot up into the sky.


    Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it wasn''t a sphere... it was a Domain of True Intent formed by countless earthy-yellow air currents.


    Within that surging Domain of True Intent, a shadowy figure holding a long spear could be indistinctly seen.


    He was covered in blood, mixed with large amounts of black substance, looking like a War God who had just emerged from hell.


    Rustle!


    The nest behemoth, which had still been shaking violently, suddenly started to collapse and contract, as if an inflated balloon was rapidly deflating... until it finally returned to calm.


    "Check!"


    "Cannot detect the nest behemoth''s main body''s aura, no obstacle in inquiry, Origin Power Array has been breached... 90% probability, the nest behemoth has been breached, its core mother beast has been slain! Repeat, this nest behemoth has been breached!!" Messages from the war machine transmitted in astonishment.


    The pilots, as well as the workers, Martial Artists, at the forward base, were all staring at this scene dumbfounded.


    Looking at the silhouette in the void.


    Even many had tears shimmering in their eyes at this moment.


    Meanwhile.


    This voice and the projected image had also been transmitted to the external command center.


    Including Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and the group of Flying Heaven Warriors, were all utterly dumbstruck.


    A single person.


    A Prime Warrior?


    To actually break through a nest behemoth? Even if it was an immature nest behemoth, it was still too exaggerated, too frightening.


    "Mission accomplished, nest behemoth destroyed, core mother beast slain, and Myriad Beasts Blood Source seized."


    "All three confirmed correct." Li Yuan''s voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of weakness: "Requesting return! Please continue inquiry and search with the Flying Heaven War Machines."


    Li Yuan stood in the void, he had already sensed the presence of the Flying Heaven War Machines and discovered that communication had been restored.


    Naturally, he transmitted the message directly.


    This battle, he had given it his all, it was a desperate fight that he had won... but he had also sustained significant injuries.


    He had to return.


    "Agreed!"


    "Number one, return immediately." Lin Yue immediately ordered, "Do you want to ride the Flying Heaven War Machine?"


    "No need, I will fly back on my own." Li Yuan responded.


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan dissipated the vast Domain of True Intent surrounding him, and immediately following, he shot up into the sky, quickly reaching about three times the speed of sound, flying towards the Star Realm entrance.


    ...


    In the Star Realm command center.


    "This!"


    "Li Yuan?" Lin Yue and Dean Hai looked at each other, still with deep shock in their eyes, momentarily at a loss for words.


    Normally, facing an immature nest behemoth, they would use a large amount of technological weapons to bombard it... to inflict as much damage as possible, and then send multiple True Intent Prime Warriors to continuously attack from the outside.


    Finally.


    After destroying the power of the nest behemoth by a large margin, they would send the strongest True Intent Prime Warrior in... hoping for a decisive victory.


    But who does it like Li Yuan?


    He went in alone and violently destroyed it in an extremely short amount of time.


    "We won!"


    "A nest behemoth, this was most likely the Cloud Beast Civilization''s grand plan in Rob Sea Star Realm." Lin Yue said softly, "Destroying it, Li Yuan has accomplished a great feat! A great merit!"


    "Dean Hai, I will immediately report this to Bai Shan Semi-Divine... to prepare for the commendation! And make a national announcement, this is definitely an unprecedented victory for our Xia Country." Lin Yue stated solemnly.

 Chapter 287 Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_4

    "I understand," Dean Hai nodded, his eyes sparkled with light.He knew the significance of this battle.


    Just killing several Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts was already a great achievement.


    But now, a single battle had destroyed a Mother Nest Lair, which was akin to saving the lives of a million soldiers!


    Most importantly,


    It was achieved by a Prime Warrior.


    "To have reached this step, Li Yuan''s strength must have surpassed Lude Nef," Dean Hai murmured softly, "He is now the first Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization."


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yue first froze, then nodded in agreement, "Right! The first Prime Warrior of the entire civilization."


    With that thought,


    Discover exclusive tales on empire


    Lin Yue suddenly turned to the several Flying Heaven Warriors, "Gentlemen, I suggest we initiate the SSS lockdown order. We must keep the information about Li Yuan''s identity in this battle confidential."


    "At least, it cannot be leaked in the short term."


    "Understood."


    "Good." The Flying Heaven Warriors instantly agreed, also filled with shock.


    Under 20 years old, and he has become the first Prime Warrior of the civilization.


    This!


    It was absolutely unprecedented in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even with the vision of these Flying Heaven Warriors, they could imagine... even in a powerful divine civilization like the Immortal Ruins, it would be extremely difficult to produce such an exceptional genius.


    A Demigod?


    No! In the hearts of these Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan surely had the potential to rival Dongfang Ji.


    If this news were to leak... no one could predict how much commotion it would cause. Perhaps many enemy Foreign Civilizations would stop at nothing to assassinate Li Yuan.


    "I need to step out."


    Dean Hai suddenly spoke and then stepped out of the conference room, entering an adjacent secret chamber.


    He quickly activated his smart ring to initiate the encryption communication setting.


    He conveyed the cause and effect of the battle directly to Fang Hai, asking him to make a decision.


    ...


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Whoosh! Elden, who had already escaped over six hundred kilometers underground, abruptly came to a halt. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Dead?"


    "So quickly, the Mother Nest Lair has been destroyed?" Elden trembled inwardly, having received the message.


    The Mother Nest Lair had completely collapsed.


    He was unspeakably shocked; in such a short time, the Seven Star Civilization absolutely couldn''t muster enough forces for an assault. There was only one possibility... that mysterious True Intent Prime Warrior.


    By his power alone, he had directly destroyed the Mother Nest Lair.


    "This!"


    "His True Intent Comprehension must be among the strongest within the Flying Heaven Peak levels," Elden sighed silently.


    In addition to being shocked, he felt a touch of relief.


    He had bet correctly!


    If he had remained, it would have been certain death. But now... he was still alive.


    "No rush."


    "To have breached the Mother Nest Lair, he must have reached the limits of a Prime Warrior''s strength," Elden murmured, "The remaining three mature Mother Nest Lairs, he should not be able to breach."


    "With his terrifying strength, he cannot remain at the Prime Warrior level forever. He will inevitably break through... Ten years! No, twenty years!"


    "I will stay hidden for the next twenty years."


    "With thousands of kilometers within the Rob Sea Star Realm and the ground extending over a thousand kilometers deep... if I focus on hiding underground, who could find me?" Elden thought to himself.


    Whew!


    He continued to flee deeper into the ground, heading for a den he had prepared earlier.


    Meanwhile,


    He directly sent a message to the Demigod Wudong Xue, "Saint Lord, I joined forces with the Mother Nest Lair and fought a great battle against that True Intent Prime Warrior but was still defeated... the Mother Nest Lair is destroyed, and I have escaped with serious injuries. I beg the Saint Lord to provide some healing and life-preserving items."


    ...


    The battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm had a colossal impact.


    Many related soldiers and warriors, not knowing Li Yuan''s real identity, were still ordered to keep quiet.


    At the same time, information about the battle was rapidly transmitted to a few Demigods who were qualified to receive the news, shocking them.


    ...


    Feixing, a mysterious place hundreds of kilometers away from the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Within a void,


    "Master, Fang Hai is requesting to speak," a deep voice suddenly sounded, "It''s about Li Yuan."


    "Connect," the vague figure commanded.


    Drip~ The communication was established.


    "What''s the matter, speak," the indistinct figure said straightforwardly.


    "Reporting to Master," Fang Hai''s voice was low, "I have just received news that Li Yuan, in the Rob Sea Star Realm, is suspected to have achieved a burst of power combining Earth and Wind True Intents... reaching strength level 33."


    "He can be called the first Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization," Fang Hai said emphatically, word by word.


    Silence hung in the air!


    After a long while,


    "Command him to return to the Martial Divine Star Realm," the nebulous figure finally spoke, "Rest and heal your injuries, then come to see me directly."

 Chapter 288 The Value of Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero Spirit Gun

    The core planet of the Cloud Beast Civilization, belonging to the Serpentine Holy Temple of the Demigod Wudong Xue."Bastard!"


    "Damn Elden! How dared he play me!! Do I look like a fool who understands nothing?" The enormous figure of Wudong Xue, covered in crimson scales, roared with rage.


    The roar was so undisguised that it formed terrifying shock waves in the palace corridors, capable of instantly tearing apart any beings below the Entry Rank.


    Thump~


    Thump~ A great number of Second Rank Exotic Beasts inside the palace were already crawling on the ground in extreme terror.


    Today, in his rage, the Demigod Wudong Xue had already killed several Second Rank Exotic Beasts.


    Extremely ruthless.


    Those palace Exotic Beasts were all aware of the reason, the defeat in the Rob Sea Star Realm was too devastating, even a maternal nest seemed to have been breached... That was a precious treasure exclusive to the entire Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Inside the main hall.


    "Bastard!"


    Wudong Xue, with his huge eyes slightly reddening, stared fixedly at a distant light screen projection that showed a mysterious Prime Warrior fighting fiercely against a multitude of maternal beasts. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With every thrust of his spear, a large number of beasts fell, countless killed or wounded, unable to stop his murderous advance.


    Until the end.


    The mysterious Prime Warrior fought his way to the core maternal beast, which only possessed the power at the Second Order Limit. But by relying on the Origin Power Array and the Myriad Beasts Blood Source for enhancement, it unleashed terrifying strength, and with the aid of the common maternal beasts... it suffered the most brutal death.


    However, it also successfully injured Li Yuan.


    With the core maternal beast''s death, the scene came abruptly to an end.


    Wudong Xue could entirely imagine the succeeding ''plot''; nothing more than the mysterious Prime Warrior seizing the Myriad Beasts Blood Source and then leaving smoothly... This matched the partial information transmitted by Elden.


    But!!


    "Damn Elden, who cowardly fled without joining the battle, allowing the maternal nest to be breached," Wudong Xue''s eyes darkened with endless murderous intent, "even has the audacity to claim he was gravely injured and needed precious healing items?"


    "The fool, the core maternal beast within the nest could bypass him and contact me directly."


    "He truly deserves to die." Wudong Xue now harbored a killing intent towards Elden.


    Time passed.


    He repeatedly watched the scenes on the light screen projection, especially the terrifying bursts of spear light by that black-clothed human whose cloak fluttered imposingly.


    Indeed powerful!


    Such strength, in a sense, was nearing the limit of a Second Rank Life.


    "At least."


    "In my more than three hundred years of life, within our Cloud Beast Civilization, probably only the Demigod Yun Qing had strength at the Second Rank that could compete with him," Wudong Xue kept his gaze fixed on the black-clothed man.


    The rest? Not one could keep up!


    Like the present Cloud Beast Civilization, amongst the massive number of Second Rank lives... in Wudong Xue''s view, not one held the hope to catch up with this mysterious human Prime Warrior.


    "Who is he, really? Lude Nef? Yu Jinghe? None of them!" Wudong Xue shook his head, reflecting silently, "According to the dying core beast''s message, this person uses Spear Technique, seemingly a combination eruption of the Earth and Wind True Intents."


    "A combination of the Mysteries of True Intent?"


    "A terrifying genius has emerged within the Seven Star Civilization," Wudong Xue sighed internally, "Still, we''ll wait for the Saint Lord Council... to mobilize the power of the entire civilization for a collective investigation."


    The entire Cloud Beast Civilization was divided and ruled by a number of demigods, with the highest authority being the ''Saint Lord Council''. Since no demigod possessed overwhelmingly superior strength, there was no ''supreme leader'' in an absolute sense.


    Wudong Xue had already reported the Rob Sea situation to the Saint Lord Council, but calling for a meeting would also take some time.


    He had to wait!


    After a long contemplation.


    "Koens." Wudong Xue spoke in a low voice, resonating through the many palaces.


    Only two seconds passed.


    Your next chapter is on empire


    Whoosh! An Exotic Beast darted into the main hall, respectfully saluted, and was extremely apprehensive within.


    "Tell Elden," Wudong Xue''s voice contained not a trace of anger, "that the great contribution he''s made to the Star Civilization will not be forgotten. Healing treasures will be sent to him soon to help his recovery."


    "At the same time, tell him."


    "Once his injuries have healed, he must make sure to hold onto the remaining three maternal nests," Wudong Xue looked at the Exotic Beast.


    "Yes!"


    "Your subordinate understands and will relay the message immediately," the Second Rank Exotic Beast named Koens said respectfully, and then departed.


    A flicker of murderous intent passed in Wudong Xue''s eyes.


    Even though it was Elden who lied, falsifying military intelligence... he had no choice but to use him, to fulfill his not-too-excessive demands.


    This made Wudong Xue very displeased.


    Having been a Demigod for so long, it was rare for him to feel this way because of some Second or Third Order Life.


    Half an hour later.


    "Saint Lord."


    "Saint Lord." Two huge Flying Serpents, over 30 meters long, slid into the main hall through the corridor, respectfully saluted.


    "Yan Shun, Yan Li," Wudong Xue''s gaze fell on the two Flying Serpents, "I do not deceive you, the situation in Rob Sea is perilous, I need you to enter Rob Sea, then... advance to the Flying Heaven Level."


    Both Flying Serpents flinched inwardly.


    Ascend to the Flying Heaven Level within the Star Realm? Wouldn''t that mean being trapped in the Rob Sea Star Realm forever?


    "You, as the talents of our Flying Serpent Clan, and I being one of the three ancestors, would I harm you?" Wudong Xue stared at them, "Your ascension in the Star Realm might seem to trap you, but you can still make great contributions to the clan... Most importantly, I will certainly train you with all my might."


    Both Flying Serpents remained silent, heads bowed.

 Chapter 288 The Value of the Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero Spirit Gun _2

    "I understand your concerns, afraid that you will never come out?" Wudong Xue said in a deep voice, "But the entrance to the Rob Sea Star Realm has been shaking... Clearly, there is a trend to expand into a Third Level Star Realm.""Once it breaks through to a Third Level Star Realm, and you complete your mission, you will naturally be able to return."


    The two Flying Serpents remained unmoved in their hearts.


    Changes in the entrance of the Star Realm?


    Stay connected via empire


    What Wudong Xue said was correct, judging from the existing signs, the Rob Sea Star Realm would sooner or later become a Third Level Star Realm, but it could be next year or it could be in a hundred years, three hundred years... This had many precedents in the history of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Time passed.


    Eventually, under the various threats and temptations of Wudong Xue, the Demigod, and after he made significant promises,


    the two Second Rank Flying Serpents, who mastered skills at the ''Fifth Stage Perfection,'' finally agreed.


    "Cultivate Yan Shun, Yan Li, until their strength is strong enough," Wudong Xue''s eyes were filled with coldness, "then directly kill that Elden."


    In his heart, Elden was already doomed to die.


    "Hope."


    "To find out who this mysterious human genius is," Wudong Xue thought to himself.


    This was the real thorn in his side.


    In his view, with such unmatched talent, if allowed to grow unchecked, they might eventually reach the peak level of a Demigod.


    ...


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    After flying for several hours, Li Yuan finally saw two other figures outside the entrance to the Star Realm.


    "Brother Yan, Luo Chan," Li Yuan flew over like a streak of light.


    In those hours, Li Yuan had already taken several kinds of medicines, and with the amazing recovery ability granted by the powerful Star Meridian... Li Yuan''s condition had greatly improved.


    "Li Yuan."


    "You broke into the beast nest alone? How did you do it?" Yan Jing and Luo Chan also came up to meet him, looking at Li Yuan as if he were a monster.


    It should be known that Li Yuan''s burst of power in killing Wusihai and Zippa had already made them gasp in shock.


    This rate of growth was truly frightening.


    Later, when the two of them were cleaning out other target areas of Second Rank Exotic Beasts and heard this news... both of them were silent for a long time.


    Especially Luo Chan, who went from initial skepticism and slight reluctance to now being completely convinced by Li Yuan''s strength.


    "It was just a battle with all my strength."


    "I was worried about potential long nights full of dreams," Li Yuan said with a smile, "so I directly entered deep into the beast nest. Indeed, I took some risks, but I was confident I could get out unscathed... Fortunately, I succeeded in the end."


    Yan Jing and Luo Chan both nodded involuntarily.


    Li Yuan made it sound easy, but the two of them could imagine the dangers it entailed.


    "Let''s go, let''s head back," Li Yuan said, "The remaining three mature beast nests are out of our reach for now, but with the Flying Heaven level forces of the Cloud Beast Civilization wiped clean... the rest should be left to the ordinary Martial Artists and the military."


    "Hmm, the two of us have also killed over two thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts," Yan Jing nodded in agreement.


    A massive war of great scale.


    As a top-level powerhouse, Li Yuan was the decisive factor in determining victory... but to sustain progress and even for the Seven Star Civilization to eventually occupy the Rob Sea Star Realm,


    relying solely on Li Yuan was far from enough.


    ...


    Li Yuan and the two others then boarded an inconspicuous flying machine and quietly left the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    They arrived at the command center located outside the Star Realm.


    Inside the grand hall,


    "Let us welcome, the victorious hero," Lin Yue said with a smile as he clapped, looking at the Li Yuan trio who entered the conference room.


    "Triumphant!! Amazing!"


    "Li Yuan, thank you," the other Flying Heaven Warriors all clapped seriously, with great excitement.


    Even one of the burly men''s eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried not long before.


    This scene left Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan feeling inwardly shocked.


    These people, after all, were Flying Heaven Warriors; their emotional expression seemed somewhat unusual, was it necessary to be so excited?


    "Senior Lin, fellow seniors," Li Yuan said in a low voice, "I''ve only done what I should."


    "Li Yuan, you don''t understand the significance of this battle," Lin Yue said somberly, "If you had just killed a few Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, although we would be happy, we would not have this exaggerated reaction."


    "But!! You breached a beast nest."


    "This is completely different," Lin Yue shook his head with emotion, "I have been here for just over two years, but some of the Flying Heaven Warriors present... have been guarding the entrance to the Rob Sea for over ten years." S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Ten years?


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but look at those few Flying Heaven Warriors.


    He hadn''t paid them any attention during his previous visit.


    "Li Yuan, I''ve been guarding this place for eighteen years," a burly man with a somber voice said, his eyes were red.


    Li Yuan looked at him, remembering that his surname was Zhao.


    "I am from the Northern Border Province," General Zhao looked at Li Yuan and said, "At that time, I experienced the great turmoil in the Rob Sea, my grandparents, my parents, my uncle... all my relatives were slaughtered by the Exotic Beasts that breached our defenses."


    "Only I was lucky enough to be away at the Martial Arts University in the Central Capital and avoided disaster."


    Li Yuan felt a touch of emotion, and he immediately thought of the Fish Spirit Tide he had once experienced.


    What General Zhao went through was even more cruel.


    Such a heavy blow would be unprecedented for anyone.


    "Later, when the disaster ended, the nation re-established a solid defense line."


    "Since then, I have practiced with insane fervor, not daring to slack for a moment. As a Prime Warrior, I joined the military and specifically requested to enter the most dangerous Rob Sea Star Realm, fighting a large number of Exotic Beasts at the frontline... but we could do nothing about the beast nests."


    "We could only resist passively, time after time."


    "After becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, I applied to guard the entrance," General Zhao said with a low voice, "I swore!"


    "Before I die in battle, I absolutely will not allow the Northern Border to suffer a calamity similar to that year''s again."

 Chapter 288 The Value of the Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero Spirit Gun _3

    "I won''t allow the alien race from the Rob Sea Star Realm to set foot on Xia Country''s territory ever again... In the past eighteen years, eight major battles.""Twice, exotic beasts reached the edge of the star realm''s entrance."


    "But in these eighteen years, aside from the ten days I once went to Feixing for special training," General Zhao solemnly said, "I, have not taken a single step away from the military camp."


    "I must stay here!!"


    "To guard this land." General Zhao said lowly, while Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and a few other Flying Heaven Warriors listened calmly.


    Because they had long known of General Zhao''s deeds.


    Yet Li Yuan, Yan Jing, Luo Chan, and a few others were all greatly shocked.


    "The Cloud Beast Civilization has already seized the initiative." General Zhao revealed a wry smile, "We can only defend, we''re helpless against the three mature brood nests."


    "Every year, a large number of warriors and ordinary soldiers die in the defense battles in the Rob Sea Star Realm."


    "Year after year."


    "There''s no end, those three brood nests continuously spawn a large number of exotic beasts... We can only fight with our lives, wasting abundant resources here."


    "Fang Hai, Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, they''ve all tried... all of them failed."


    "Eight years ago, after Lude Nef''s operation failed, I was in despair, I didn''t know how long such a war would continue."


    "Ten years? A hundred years?" General Zhao shook his head, his eyes reddened, "I''m not afraid to spend my entire life here."


    "But if this consumption continues, countless warriors, soldiers will die here, it''s like a festering sore on the body of Xia Country, constantly bleeding." He said, looking at Li Yuan with fervent eyes.


    "Until, you appeared."


    Li Yuan''s heart trembled.


    "If you hadn''t turned up this time, then the fourth brood nest would have surely matured, and our casualties would have been enormous, numbering in the tens of thousands." General Zhao said solemnly, "But you, you breached it."


    At that moment.


    Li Yuan, including Yan Jing and Luo Chan, finally understood why General Zhao and the other Flying Heaven Warriors were so emotional.


    Lin Yue, he was just the Warrior Commanding General, stationed here for only a short time.


    But the other Flying Heaven Warriors, also military commanders, had more contact with a large number of ordinary soldiers... naturally feeling it more deeply.


    "Most importantly."


    "You are still young, not even 20 years old." General Zhao looked at Li Yuan, "With your age, you probably won''t become a Flying Heaven Warrior so quickly."


    "No." Li Yuan shook his head, he still had to pursue the limits of a Prime Warrior.


    "Right!" S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Currently, you may not be able to breach a mature brood nest, but when you are stronger, there is definitely hope for the future." General Zhao said earnestly, hope glowing in his eyes, "If you can breach the other three brood nests in the future... that would mean saving millions of lives."


    "Of course, I know that''s extremely difficult, and I don''t expect you to accomplish it."


    "Just your act of destroying that immature brood nest without regard for your safety...deserves my thanks." General Zhao said deeply.


    ...


    Soon after, Lin Yue, along with Dean Hai, brought the three men to another meeting room.


    "Yan Jing, Luo Chan, the Rob Sea operation has temporarily concluded." Lin Yue said, "The contributions you''ve made will be fully tallied by the Alliance and Xia Country, and they''ll calculate your Seven Stars Points for you."


    Both men nodded in agreement.


    "Additionally, regarding Li Yuan''s matter, you must not disclose it." Lin Yue said seriously.


    "Understood."


    "We won''t reveal a single bit, we understand the importance." Yan Jing and Luo Chan both hastily spoke up.


    "No!"


    "You can''t disclose about Li Yuan, because in this operation there was no Li Yuan. The one who joined you was a genius from Feixing known by the nickname ''Spirit Gun''." Lin Yue looked at them, "You only know his nickname ''Spirit Gun'', adept in using Spear Technique, coming from Feixing, his age should be over 40 years old... but beyond that, you don''t know anything else."


    "Is that clear?" Lin Yue asked.


    "Understood."


    "Got it!" They were not dull and instantly grasped Lin Yue''s intention.


    After the two men left.


    "Li Yuan, the power you have revealed in this battle can''t be completely concealed, with the methods of the Cloud Beast Civilization, surely they will know quite a bit... they will definitely investigate who you are." Lin Yue said earnestly.


    "Yes." Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Pretending to be completely ignorant, that would assume the Cloud Beast Civilization is foolish.


    "So."


    "I''ve already reported to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the Alliance Hierarch has personally ordered, the final plan is to create a reclusive genius ''Spirit Gun'', to cover up some of your deeds and brilliance." Lin Yue said, "This will eliminate some suspicions targeting you."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Sometimes, covering up a matter does not mean suppressing the truth, but creating a bigger event. Stay updated through empire


    To hide a person, it''s the same.


    If the Seven Star Civilization attempted to cover everything, then Li Yuan might be suspected... after all, how many such talented Prime Warriors who use Spear Technique and have mastered the True Meaning of Earth are there?


    In the entire Seven Star Civilization, how many?


    The only difference is, up to now, aside from this battle, Li Yuan has never exposed his talent in the Wind Vein.


    "Of course, such a cover won''t last very long." Dean Hai interjected, "But even if we can hide it for three to five years, or even just half a year, it will be helpful. By then, you''ll have undergone another transformation and grown stronger... At that time, your rise will be unstoppable, and if you''re exposed, those alien civilizations targeting you won''t be able to do anything."


    "It means that for the next while, you''ll have to endure some inconvenience, with many achievements attributed to ''Spirit Gun''." Dean Hai said with a smile, "And we can''t directly award or commend you."

 Chapter 288 The Value of the Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero Spirit Gun _4

    ```"I understand, it''s no problem," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Rewards?


    News report? But there''s no actual benefit.


    "Li Yuan," Lin Yue suddenly spoke, "Bai Shan Semi-Divine will be here soon."


    Li Yuan felt a slight shock in his heart.


    Not even ten seconds passed.


    Whirr~


    An invisible fluctuation swept across, and an elder figure in white already appeared in the conference room.


    "Semi-Divine," Lin Yue and Dean Hai both respectfully saluted.


    "Semi-Divine," Li Yuan did the same.


    To countless people of Xia Country, Bai Shan Semi-Divine was akin to a deity.


    His status in the hearts of the people of Xia Country was so special that not even Dongfang Ji could shake it.


    "There''s no need for such formalities, relax," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, his gaze falling on Li Yuan, "How are your injuries?"


    "They''re alright."


    "It''s just that the root of the Star Meridian is injured, requiring a long period of quiet recuperation," Li Yuan said.


    During the great battle in the nest of the hive creatures, the expenditure was too great.


    "Hmm, Lin Yue, Hai Yi, step out for a moment, I have something to discuss with Li Yuan," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    "Yes," the two left, leaving only Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine in the conference room.


    "Semi-Divine?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "I''ve come to you mainly for four matters," Bai Shan Semi-Divine revealed with a smile, "The first is to see how you are. You actually possess the talent of the Wind Vein; even Lie Feng Semi-Divine values you highly, and is willing to take you as a disciple... This is indeed beyond my expectations."


    "It seems that initially, both Fang Hai and I misjudged you," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said reflectively.


    "I didn''t expect it myself back then," Li Yuan admitted honestly.


    If it weren''t for the sensation during the Martial God Inheritance... he would have found it challenging to so quickly embark on the combined path of the Mysteries of Earth and Wind.


    "Now, your strength is so formidable that you should be called the number one Prime Warrior in civilization," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    This was within his expectations.


    "The second matter is about the rewards for this mission. The calculation has been done, and it is ten thousand Seven Stars Points," Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, "Are you satisfied with this?"


    "It''s enough," Li Yuan nodded.


    This was, after all, a war in a Second Level Star Realm.


    Like the many Flying Heaven Warriors who desperately complete a mission, they would only reap a few hundred Seven Stars Points.


    To be awarded ten thousand Seven Stars Points at once by the Alliance, that was already quite astonishing.


    It was enough to exchange for a decent Semi Divine Artifact from the Seven Stars Treasure Vault.


    "The third matter," Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, apparently with some anticipation, "you should have obtained the Myriad Beasts Blood Source."


    "The Alliance is willing to purchase the Myriad Beasts Blood Source in your hands for twenty thousand Seven Stars Points."


    "And I personally am willing to offer twenty-five thousand Seven Stars Points," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, "Would you agree?"


    "This item is of use to you?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "Yes, its greatest use is to enhance vitality," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said frankly, "The stronger the body, the harder it is to further enhance life vitality, especially."


    "Something like a Fourth Rank treasure, for you Second Rank Prime Warriors, is priceless... but for Semi-Divine beings, the effect is not significant," Bai Shan Semi-Divine continued, "One Myriad Beasts Blood Source is more valuable than several dozen Fourth Rank treasures combined." S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was astonished inside, was it really that rare?


    "Senior Bai Shan, if you really need it, I can just give it to you," Li Yuan said with a smile, immediately flipping his palm.


    Rustle~


    A red, head-sized, odd spherical crystal suspended in space, emitting strange fluctuations appeared.


    It was almost a perfect sphere.


    At least to Li Yuan''s perception, he couldn''t detect any imperfections, which was quite an amazing creation.


    Whoosh!


    The Myriad Beasts Blood Source directly floated towards Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    Li Yuan wasn''t worried about Bai Shan Semi-Divine deceiving him because the information on the Myriad Beasts Blood Source was public... its value may fluctuate, but will not exceed a certain upper limit.


    "I cannot simply accept this for free," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, shaking his head, "You being willing to give it to me is already a great favor."


    Continue reading at empire


    "Then still, as I just said, twenty-five thousand Points, you must accept this," Bai Shan continued, "And that includes the reward of ten thousand Seven Stars Points, which I will transfer to you now."


    Swiftly,


    Li Yuan received a notification that his account in the Seven Stars Treasure Vault had an additional thirty-five thousand Points.


    The transaction was complete.


    The mission reward was complete.


    "You don''t need to worry about hiding your identity for the time being," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, "The Alliance Hierarch and I will arrange everything for you. For now, return to the Martial Divine Star Realm to recuperate."


    "After you recover,"


    "you can proceed with the application. The Alliance Hierarch wants to see you," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was startled, "Senior Dongfang wants to meet me?"


    ...


    An hour later, escorted by Dean Hai, Li Yuan quietly began his journey home.


    At the same time,


    In Xia Country, the Star Realm channel,


    "We interrupt with a special news bulletin."


    "Our forces have recently engaged in an unprecedented large-scale battle with an Alien Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm and achieved a decisive victory!" the presenter announced solemnly, "In this great battle, the peerless genius ''Spirit Gun'' from Feixing, who is a supreme talent whose real name cannot be disclosed... won the final battle."


    "He is a talent on par with Xia Country''s Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan!"


    "We thank him for his immense contribution to Xia Country and the Seven Star Alliance!"


    ```

 Chapter 289 The Nameless Hero Meets Dongfang Ji

    After the urgent broadcast about the "Spirit Gun."In the capital of Xia Country, inside an extremely special building.


    "Commander, are you sure you want to broadcast it like this?" the person in charge of propaganda couldn''t help but ask.


    "Just like that."


    "The original intention of Bai Shan Semi-Divine was to keep a low profile," the elder with a hint of gray in his hair said softly, "but I think since the entire battle process is already known to the Cloud Beast Civilization, trying to completely conceal it is impossible."


    "Moreover, although we are temporarily hiding the true identity of the Spirit Gun, his deeds, his contributions to Xia Country... should not be completely concealed, it should be made known to the countless citizens of Xia Country."


    "The identity of the Spirit Gun is being hidden now."


    "But one day, his identity will be revealed, and by then, the world will know what he has done."


    "Heroes can be unnamed."


    "But we should not forget."


    ...


    The great battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm was indeed an unprecedented victory.


    Therefore, the massive propaganda effort was not just about using the "Spirit Gun," the genius created to cover up the existence of Li Yuan.


    On the other hand.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance, more precisely the leadership of Xia Country, hoped to use the great victory as propaganda to further inspire the fighting spirit of countless people and Martial Artists, bolstering morale.


    After all, the casualties from the ongoing war were indeed substantial.


    Especially the war in the Rob Sea Star Realm, which had caused a severe calamity to Xia Country over decades, with countless deaths, but without being able to truly counterattack.


    Swiftly.


    On all television stations in Xia Country, as well as the virtual network community channels of Blue Star, propaganda about the "Spirit Gun" appeared.


    "Heroes unnamed."


    "The Rob Sea Star Realm''s war with the Alien Civilization has lasted for over fifty years, with a recorded loss of one million one hundred sixty thousand soldiers... and the recorded civilian death toll reaching..." the voice in the video was somber.


    "The total economic property loss..." These figures flashed across the screen as the voiceover continued.


    With such overwhelming propaganda, it quickly garnered the attention of billions of people from Xia Country and across Blue Star.


    "Our Seven Star Alliance has always wanted to thoroughly exterminate the Rob Sea..." Various battle scenes appeared in the propaganda video.


    Countless Exotic Beasts surged like a tide towards each War Fortress.


    Many Martial Artists, wielding weapons, fought the Exotic Beasts in close combat.


    Even a large number of nuclear weapons were used on the battlefield...


    Scenes of Flying Heaven Warriors and Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts fighting fiercely... this was from eight years ago when Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, and others infiltrated the Vast Sky of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    The battles were incredibly brutal and manic.


    The most chilling were the massive, seemingly indestructible and invincible Nest Beasts.


    No matter how fiercely the strong Martial Artists among humans attacked, it was difficult to cause even the slightest damage.


    Nearly invincible.


    "Nest Beasts, these are the lairs of the Alien Race''s Exotic Beasts in the Star Realm, giving birth to a continuous stream of Exotic Beasts, enabling them to instigate one war after another," the video explained: "For fifty years, we''ve attacked time and again, but have never succeeded."


    "As long as the three major Nest Beasts aren''t eliminated, the Rob Sea Star Realm will never find peace."


    "If the Rob Sea Star Realm is not at peace, Xia Country..."


    ...


    The numerous battle scenes from the past decades shocked many viewers.


    Many people initially watched the video out of curiosity, but at this moment, all of them were completely silent, deeply aware of the terror of the Alien Race of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    "Why hasn''t there been any propaganda before?"


    "We''ve been failing all along! How could there be propaganda?"


    "No wonder the casualties are so high; the Alien Race is too strong, those dense Exotic Beasts, there must be millions of them!"


    "How can one break through a Nest Beast?" Millions of comments and barrages flickered across the numerous propaganda videos.


    Flying Heaven Level battles were rarely directly publicized on the virtual network.


    Even knowing the outcome, the propaganda videos still attracted countless people to continue watching.


    ...


    In the propaganda video, the scene suddenly shifted, revealing a highly blurred battle scene, the camera shaking.


    It looked very real!


    A figure holding a Long Spear, wrapped in a black Battle Garment, was standing alone, facing three terrifying figures: a Flying Serpent, a huge spider, a monkey...


    Many viewers were both excited and shaken.


    Many guessed the identity of the spear-wielding powerhouse.


    "These are all Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts." The voiceover in the video said, "The human Martial Artist confronting them is none other than Spirit Gun." Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "He is merely a Prime Warrior, yet he can move through the Flying Heavens."


    In the video, an intensely fierce battle took place, with the mysterious genius "Spirit Gun" powerfully slaying two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts in succession, and then pursuing another.


    Unstoppably powerful.


    ..."Spirit Gun!"


    "He''s a Prime Warrior, yet he can slay Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts? So strong."


    "He is a peerless genius hailing from Feixing!"


    "Spirit Gun is definitely just a nickname; his true identity remains unknown." A large number of comments and barrages flashed by, as countless viewers became completely enthralled.


    If it had been a Flying Heaven Warrior who achieved this, the video would have certainly been exciting but wouldn''t have had such a massive impact.


    In the propaganda, Spirit Gun is merely a Prime Warrior, which gives it a completely different significance.


    After all, in the eyes of countless ordinary people, Flying Heaven Warriors are almost the pinnacle of the entire civilization''s military strength, far surpassing the level of Prime Warriors.


    Accomplishing such a feat against a higher class is indeed unthinkable!


    ...


    At the end of the propaganda video.


    "In this great battle."


    "Spirit Gun eventually led other formidable Martial Artists to jointly break through a newly opened Nest Beast... He is not just the current preeminent Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization." Stay updated via empire

    "Even in the history of our Seven Star Civilization, he can be called the strongest Prime Warrior," Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire"A hero without a name."


    "Spirit Gun is just his title! But a hero''s deeds should not be forgotten!" the voiceover suddenly became impassioned.


    ...Countless people in every country on Blue Star were stirred up, and the propaganda video quickly spread across various planets.


    The name ''Spirit Gun'' was remembered by billions of people in a very short time.


    There was a heated debate everywhere.


    "Spirit Gun is too strong,"


    "In the past, they said Li Yuan was the first genius of the Seven Stars, but now it seems Spirit Gun is."


    "How old is Li Yuan? It looks like Spirit Gun is already over forty."


    "At least, what Spirit Gun did, that''s what a true strong person should do."


    "The first Prime Warrior of civilization." Countless people admired him immensely, spreading the word voluntarily, and many young people even regarded him as an idol.


    To fly to the heavens and evade the earth, to slay the powerful of the Alien Race.


    It was incredibly domineering.


    ...


    "This Spirit Gun is truly formidable," muttered Wan Qinghe, the ''Deputy City Lord'' of Jiang City as he watched the promotional video and privately marveled: "I wonder if Li Yuan can ever reach his level in the future."


    "It probably won''t be easy,"


    Years had passed, and Wan Qinghe had broken through to become a ''Senior Prime Warrior'' and because of many merits during his three-year tenure, he had just been promoted to Deputy City Lord.


    This rate of advancement was beyond the reach of most district lords.


    His greatest merit was ''discovering Li Yuan''.


    "Li Yuan..."


    "Logically, when he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, he should return to Xia Country to take a post," Wan Qinghe thought privately: "Last time I heard from Elder Fei, Li Yuan had become a Prime Warrior?"


    Wan Qinghe had not seen Li Yuan for a long time, only occasionally receiving blessing messages during festivals.


    Yet invisibly, both Wan Qinghe and Fei Qian, the City Lord of Jiang City, had received great help because of Li Yuan.


    ...


    "So impressive."


    "The strongest Prime Warrior?" Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, the siblings, were filled with shock in their respective Martial Path classes as they listened to the teacher''s narration and watched the holographic images.


    Li Muhua, in particular, was boiling with excitement.


    Years had passed, and they both had become high school students.


    With Li Yuan''s help, they had access to cultivation conditions that could be called top-notch, and they were growing along a defined path.


    Like Li Muhua, who now had the best Physical Quality in his grade''s ranking. Just finishing freshman year of high school, his cultivation reached the Second Stage... With the college entrance examination two years later, he had every chance of getting into one of the top three global Martial Arts schools.


    ...


    The popularity of the ''Spirit Gun'' promotional video also aroused the curiosity of countless people wishing to uncover his real identity.


    But with the order from the higher-ups, it was easily suppressed in the virtual network.


    And those who really knew or guessed Spirit Gun''s true identity, such as the Flying Heaven Warriors and the three ordinary members of the Seven Star Mountain at that time, for instance.


    They all received strict secrecy orders.


    Moreover, most people''s guess was focused on ''born in Feixing, older than 40 years''... No one suspected Li Yuan.


    After all, claiming that someone under 20 years old became the number one Prime Warrior in the history of Seven Star Civilization would sound unbelievable to anyone.


    ...


    "How did Li Yuan do it?" Duanmu Hong, a Mountain Lord in the Martial Divine Star Realm, felt a touch of amazement and sigh: "Not even 20 years old, and so strong?"


    Others did not know, and could only speculate.


    But as the Mountain Lord of Seven Star Mountain, he had access to the war mission acceptance records... and regarding the Rob Sea war mission, the only match was Li Yuan.


    And judging from the weapon, the integration of the True Meaning of Earth, it was also very fitting.


    Furthermore, having received the ''confidentiality'' order, Duanmu Mountain Lord already had his judgment.


    "Li Yuan must have been injured."


    "He came back three days ago and bought a lot of healing treasures." Duanmu Mountain Lord could look up the list of treasure purchases Li Yuan made in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    This was his privilege as a Mountain Lord.


    ...


    Returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm after three days, Li Yuan naturally knew a bit about the commotion in the outside world.


    But he did not pay it much mind.


    It was ''Spirit Gun'' who became famous throughout the world, what did it have to do with me, Li Yuan?


    "The battle of life and death,"


    "Only a blood-spattered trial is the sole standard to gauge skills," Li Yuan silently thought.


    This great battle in the Rob Sea had given him a big shake-up, especially the actual combination of the two great Mysteries of True Intent, which let him truly feel the strength of the combined mysteries of laws.


    To heal his injuries, Li Yuan had bought several Third Rank treasures, spending about 300 Seven Stars Points.


    While healing, Li Yuan was also deducing and refining his Spear Technique.


    "Once I''ve completely digested this battle,"


    "I''ll meet with Senior Dongfang Ji again," Li Yuan thought silently: "then go to accept the next Martial God Inheritance."


    The members of Martial Divine Mountain have a cultivation cycle that runs from July of one year to June of the next.


    First Rank Martial God inheritors, within this cultivation period, need only to accept the Martial God Inheritance once, and are not required to go in any specific month.


    "Next,"


    "In terms of skills, what I need to do is to take the Mysteries of Wind a step further, transform the True Intent from its embryonic form into the true True Meaning of Wind, and step into the Sixth Stage," Li Yuan silently thought: "Then strive to bring the True Meaning of Earth into the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage."


    ...


    As time passed, the Cloud Beast Civilization, which had taken a great loss in Rob Sea, finally convened the ''Saint Lord Meeting''.


    A mysterious virtual world. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    One imposing consciousness after another descended, one of which belonged to Wudong Xue, a Demigod.


    As time went on, finally, when the number of descending consciousnesses exceeded a certain threshold,


    "Gentlemen,"


    a resonant voice echoed in this mysterious world: "I believe you all know the ''subject'' of the meeting, regarding the Seven Star Civilization''s ''Spirit Gun'' and related combat footage, you should have already seen it, do you have any thoughts?"

 Chapter 289 The Unsung Hero Meets Dongfang Ji_3

    ```"Wudong Xue! How precious is the ''Myriad Beasts Blood Source''... Our entire civilization can only produce one every five years," a shrill voice rose, "You placed it within a Second Level Star Realm and still couldn''t defend it, you''re simply useless."


    "Councilor, I propose that Wudong Xue be stripped of his qualification for the ''Myriad Beasts Blood Source,''" the shrill voice said.


    "Hadi!" Wudong Xue roared in fury.


    The other demigods watched as though it was a show they had seen many times before; these two demigods had significant conflicts.


    "Silence," came the cold voice imbued with authority, "Do I need to expel both of you?"


    Wudong Xue and the owner of the shrill voice both quieted down.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization''s councilor ''Black Plow Demigod'', though not invincible like Dongfang Ji, could stand out among the nearly one hundred demigods of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡­ His strength was undoubtedly powerful, stronger than most Demi-God Peak Powerhouses.


    If dozens of demigods were to unite against him, Black Plow Demigod would still have to concede.


    But a single or a couple of demigods? Usually, they wouldn''t dare to take a hard stance against him.


    "Does anyone else have thoughts?" Black Plow Demigod''s voice was deep, neither happy nor sad.


    "According to the information from the Seven Star Civilization, this ''Spirit Gun'' is over forty and comes from Feixing," a demigod spoke, "But I''ve looked through many reports from the Seven Star Civilization... and no genius fits the description."


    "With such strength, he shouldn''t have been without a trace in the past."


    "I suspect that this so-called ''Spirit Gun'' is a fabrication by the Seven Star Civilization to cover up the true identity of this mysterious Prime Warrior," said the demigod.


    "If the identity is a fabrication, who could it be?" another demigod spoke up.


    "Could it be the rumored extremely abnormal Li Yuan?" a demigod suggested with doubt.


    "Impossible!"


    "How long has Li Yuan been cultivating? If he could realize the True Meaning of Earth, it would already be incredible, let alone mastering the True Meaning of Wind."


    "Right, there are no records of Li Yuan having a talent in the Wind Vein." Many silent demigods spoke up one after another, directly denying the possibility.


    Time passed, and many demigods suggested various possibilities.


    "Alright."


    "I have heard all your thoughts," Black Plow Demigod finally said, "Firstly, about the Rob Sea Star Realm, we must try our best to hold it, as it is an excellent springboard." S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Wudong Xue, the territory you oversee will be taken over by the civilization council personally. Do you have any objections?" Black Plow Demigod looked at Wudong Xue, "The entire council will invest more resources to develop the whole Rob Sea Star Realm."


    The other demigods also looked over, seeing it as an excellent opportunity to intervene.


    "No objections," said Wudong Xue, looking somewhat unwilling, but inside he was very composed.


    He had expected this.


    The civilization council taking control? Ultimately, it would still be managed by one or two demigods.


    "Alright, it will be managed jointly by you, Hadi, and Yan Tuoluo," Black Plow Demigod suggested his idea.


    Which was unanimously approved by all demigods.


    "For the time being, we don''t have any effective methods to deal with this ''Spirit Gun,''" Black Plow Demigod spoke softly, "For now, we''ve just activated our intelligence networks to search for his identity and whereabouts... However, the Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization definitely have a chance to kill him."


    "The Tianliang Civilization?"


    "The Myriad Demons Civilization?" Many demigods wore puzzled expressions.


    They all knew that these two civilizations were also hostile to the Seven Star Civilization, but to actually kill Spirit Gun seemed difficult.


    "The Mingxu Star Realm has just undergone a transformation," Black Plow Demigod slowly said, "I have news... The batch of talented Prime Warriors from the Tianliang Civilization has been almost completely slaughtered by Seven Star Civilization''s Yu Jinghe."


    "Treasure has emerged."


    "And it has angered the native Flying Heaven forces of the Ruins Star Realm¡­ Tianliang Civilization will likely invite the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization to come," Black Plow Demigod continued, "Then, the Seven Star Civilization will likely send ''Spirit Gun'' there as well."


    "After all, according to the intelligence we know, this Spirit Gun''s strength could be even stronger than Yu Jinghe''s."


    Many demigods nodded in agreement.


    Tianliang Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization had a vassal relationship... More accurately, the Tianliang Civilization was essentially a derivative civilization from one of the divine domains of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    The two civilizations had a very close relationship.


    This was also one of the main reasons Tianliang Civilization was hostile to the Seven Star Civilization.


    "Wudong Xue." Black Plow Demigod looked over.


    "Councilor."


    "I believe that the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization would be very interested in more detailed information about ''Spirit Gun,''" Black Plow Demigod said, "How much loss you can recover from them will depend on your own methods, the negotiations with them will be handled by you."


    "Thank you, Councilor," Wudong Xue replied gravely, feeling slightly better in his heart.


    ...


    Time elapsed, the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, as well as several other strong Foreign Civilizations.


    Through various clandestine intelligence networks, they endeavored to uncover the true identity of Spirit Gun, but all without success.


    This was precisely the goal of the Seven Star Civilization''s upper echelons.


    To forever conceal it? Impossible! But with Li Yuan''s talent, every six months to a year, his strength was likely to undergo astonishing transformations.


    July 10th.


    Within the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan soared through the sky, following the Duanmu Mountain Master''s guidance, he arrived at the majestic palace at the peak of Seven Star Mountain.


    Continue your adventure with empire


    "Mountain Lord." From afar, Li Yuan already saw the figure in white clothes waiting outside the palace.


    He flew forward and respectfully saluted.


    "Li Yuan," Duanmu Mountain Master waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted up Li Yuan, he smiled and said, "Being summoned by the Alliance Hierarch is no small matter."


    "It''s the Alliance Hierarch''s grace," Li Yuan pretended not to notice the implication in the other''s words.


    Right!


    Li Yuan guessed Duanmu Mountain Master would suspect whether he was Spirit Gun... but Li Yuan would definitely not admit it.


    ```

 Chapter 289 The Unsung Hero Meets Dongfang Ji_4

    ```Guess as you will, I won''t admit to anything anyway.


    "Ha ha, let''s go and meet the Alliance Hierarch," Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile as he turned to walk towards his own palace.


    "This?" Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    "Through my palace, you can go directly to where the Alliance Hierarch is in seclusion. This is a secret," Duanmu Mountain Master chuckled. "Apart from me, only a few exceptional Prime Warriors throughout the generations have known about this."


    Li Yuan understood that only those who were qualified to meet with Dongfang Ji would be privy to this secret.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Following Duanmu Mountain Master, Li Yuan entered the palace. From the outside, the palace looked ancient and majestic, reminiscent of a historical palace, but inside, the decor was quite modern.


    They proceeded to a corridor on one side of a side hall.


    Li Yuan then saw, not far away, a passage shimmering with flowing light, faintly leading to another world.


    This immediately reminded Li Yuan of the pathways to the World within Worlds, the two being very similar.


    "Enter," Duanmu Mountain Master beckoned.


    "The Alliance Hierarch is already waiting for you," Duanmu Mountain Master said solemnly. "Remember, there''s no need to be overly humble in front of the Alliance Hierarch, but you must not be disrespectful either. Treat him as you would a normal elder."


    "Yes, thank you for the reminder, Mountain Lord."


    ...


    With one step, Li Yuan walked into the light-screen passage, surrounded by flowing luminescence, still feeling as though he was being washed over by flowing water.


    Enveloped by an invisible force, after a long while,


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan gently landed on the ground, looking around.


    It was a rather dim space, and it felt as though he was standing on glass, with a void deeper in and a mist enshrouding the surroundings.


    There was no end in sight.


    And it made Li Yuan cautious about making any rash moves.


    "Where is this? Even my smart ring has lost its signal," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Could this be another space similar to the World within Worlds?"


    Suddenly. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hum~


    An invisible force enveloped him, carrying Li Yuan forward. The force was so strong and powerful that Li Yuan couldn''t resist it at all.


    Whoosh! After flying only a few hundred meters, Li Yuan gently landed.


    "Li Yuan." A deep voice rang out.


    The voice, like thunder on a clear day, made Li Yuan''s spirit tremble. Experience tales at empire


    Only then did he realize that in the midst of the fog not far away sat a tall, sturdy man with short hair, dressed in black robes. His figure was indistinct, seated cross-legged in the void.


    His face was blurred and indistinguishable, but the invisible presence that he emitted enveloped the area, making Li Yuan hold his breath and his head buzz.


    Rumbling~ Li Yuan''s ''vision'' seemed to change, as if all that remained was the silhouette of the man in black robes.


    He was like the very essence of heaven and earth itself.


    In an instant,


    It gave Li Yuan an illusion, like the time he saw the Phantom of the Ancient Torch Divine... but whereas the Ancient Torch Divine was a phantom, the man in black robes before him was real.


    Moreover, Li Yuan also had the strange feeling that even though there were only a few tens of meters between him and the man in black robes, it was as if a layer of space separated them.


    It was all very strange.


    Li Yuan also deeply felt the terror of Dongfang Ji, the sensation he gave far surpassed any demigod Li Yuan had seen.


    Even Lie Feng, as a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse, seemed far inferior to Dongfang Ji in Li Yuan''s senses.


    ```


    After a long while,


    Li Yuan, relying on his strong spiritual power, just barely managed to come back to his senses, then he respectfully performed a salute, "Li Yuan, greets the Alliance Hierarch."


    "Not bad!"


    "Fang Hai is right, both your spiritual power and willpower are extremely strong." Dongfang Ji finally spoke, his voice low and devoid of any emotion, "Your Visualization Method probably surpasses the ordinary Divine Visualizations."


    Li Yuan''s heart stirred, unsure how to respond.


    "Everyone has their own encounters."


    "Having your own set of encounters is a good thing." The ethereal voice of Dongfang Ji sounded: "Li Yuan, do you know why I did not oppose your decision to comprehend The Mystery of Wind again?"


    "Law Integration?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "Correct! And also not correct." Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan calmly, "Law Integration is the goal, but it is not the ultimate goal."


    Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    "The Law of the Great Dao is vast and boundless," Dongfang Ji slowly said, "like your teacher ''Lie Feng Semi-Divine,'' like Fang Hai, like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, they have all stepped into the threshold of Laws."


    "Even for Lie Feng Semi-Divine, what he has comprehended is but a drop in the ocean of the Wind Law."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    The more he cultivated, the more he perceived the profound mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, and the more he agreed with Dongfang Ji''s words.


    The heavens and earth are vast, and the operation of Laws indeed difficult to fully comprehend.


    "Attempting to comprehend a single Law of the Great Dao alone is tough," Dongfang Ji explained, "thus, many Demigods and even Divine beings also try to comprehend other Laws of the Great Dao in the hope of gaining insight by analogy... The mysteries of heaven and earth are one whole."


    "The Mystery of different Laws, when come into contact, might provoke new enlightenment within oneself."


    "And even¡ªfusion with each other!"


    "The integration of different Laws is very difficult," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "for you, currently, it''s just the Mysteries of True Intent combining, which is relatively easier."


    "However, relative to your age, it''s already quite astonishing," Dongfang Ji continued.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod.


    His own achievements, if not considering age, indeed were not too exaggerated; probably many Demigods could hope to achieve the same.


    "When you began following Lie Feng Semi-Divine in cultivation, I originally just had the thought of ''letting you try,''" Dongfang Ji indifferently said, "the results proved that you are very suited for this path, achieving considerable success in just one year."


    "The combination of Earth and Wind is also extremely beneficial for sensing the existence of space."


    "My expectation for your future progress," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "is separate advancement of Earth and Wind into the threshold of Laws, and then their integration... you will have the chance to perceive the Mysteries of Space."


    "Then, your path as a Demigod, and even as a Divine, will be exceedingly smooth."


    "You will truly have the hope to surpass me," Dongfang Ji''s voice was soft, yet it contained expectation.


    Li Yuan, however, was astounded.


    Both Earth and Wind stepping into the threshold of Laws, their integration? The chance to sense the Mysteries of Space?


    But in reality, it seemed as if he had already perceived a hint of Mysteries of Space when he initially combined True Intent.


    "It seems you do not understand," Dongfang Ji said as he sat cross-legged in the void.


    "The operation of heaven and earth contains the ultimate Mystery, the most elusive to contemplate is the Mystery of Time," Dongfang Ji spoke calmly, "Time is taboo, difficult to touch, even Divine beings cannot step into that domain."


    "Just after Time, comes the Space Law."


    "Space is the origin of all laws, the foundation for the birth of all life and everything in heaven and earth."


    "Without space, everything would be meaningless."


    "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder... the Seven Great Laws all originate from the Space Law, yet are distinct from the Space Law," Dongfang Ji continued slowly, "Comprehending a single Law of the Great Dao independently, the further you progress, the harder it becomes."


    "But if one could touch the Mysteries of Space early on, even stepping into the threshold of the Space Law,"


    "Using the overall sense of the Space Law to re-deduce the Seven Great Laws, one''s efficiency could increase tenfold, a hundredfold, and one might even break through many bottlenecks with greater ease."


    "This is the greatest significance of Law Integration," Dongfang Ji said.

 Chapter 290 The Alliance Hierarchs Gifts and Promises (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Time passed, with a detailed explanation from Dongfang Ji.Li Yuan had come to understand that the Seven Great Laws, namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, could also be called the Seven Fundamental Laws.


    They were the cornerstone of the natural order and the workings of the universe.


    The Seven Fundamental Laws all originated from the vast, endless space, and their relationship with the Space Law was one of mutual dependence.


    "The Seven Fundamental Laws, the Space Law, and even the most mysterious Time Law... The universe is vast; all these laws are inherently unified." Li Yuan thought to himself, "To comprehend each fundamental law is just to understand one aspect of the universe''s mystery."


    "By grasping just one aspect, trying to deduce the whole from a part, sensing the existence of space is naturally difficult; one must comprehend to a very advanced level."


    "But if one comprehends two laws... Their combination allows one to sense the existence of space from different aspects, making it easier to comprehend the Space Law in the future."


    "Once the Space Law is deeply understood, it''s like having a foundation for a skyscraper... Starting from space to comprehend the Seven Fundamental Laws will naturally become much easier." Li Yuan marveled inwardly, "These two are mutually cyclical, continuously providing positive feedback to each other."


    This was a broad and noble path.


    Only, it was extremely difficult to walk this path.


    Firstly, one needed to have extremely high talent in several laws, and secondly, the process of combining the mysteries of the laws must be flawless.


    Extremely tough!


    Many demigods struggle even to reach the threshold of the mysteries of the universe, let alone simultaneously ponder multiple laws.


    Even for Li Yuan, when combining the two Truth Intent powers, he could sense a trace of space fluctuations... but it was just a trace.


    "Alliance Hierarch."


    Li Yuan suddenly spoke, "If we go by that, if a person comprehends three laws, or even four laws... Wouldn''t it be even easier to sense the mysteries of space?"


    "Correct!"


    "Theoretically, that is the case," Dongfang Ji said indifferently, "However, you should be able to feel the difficulty of combining the mysteries of the laws by practicing two of them."


    "The more laws you combine, the easier it is to make mistakes... Once the combination of laws goes wrong, it signifies a fundamental misunderstanding of the universe''s mysteries, which is very hard to correct. It might hinder your progress in the laws you''ve studied." Dongfang Ji continued, "It could even affect your perception of space."


    Li Yuan nodded.


    What the Alliance Hierarch said was somewhat similar to what Teacher Lie Feng had mentioned.


    "About your recent battle experience in the Rob Sea Star Realm, I have some understanding. What do you think about it?" Dongfang Ji said, his face still indistinct.


    But his voice clearly entered Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Thoughts?"


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke gravely, "If possible, once I become stronger, I want to completely eradicate the Alien Race from the entire Rob Sea Star Realm, and even from the many Second Level Star Realms."


    Dongfang Ji couldn''t help but look at Li Yuan.


    That wasn''t his original intention for asking.


    "Why?" Dongfang Ji asked without any change in tone, "I''ve read the reports, when you discovered that immature nest creature den, you did not hesitate to kill your way in. Weren''t you worried about dying there?"


    "Worried about death?" Li Yuan fell silent for a moment, thinking of many people.


    He thought of his uncle, of his late teacher Fan Jin, of Teacher Xu Bo... and also of what General Zhao had said at the headquarters the other day, his eyes nearly brimming with tears.


    All of this had deeply moved Li Yuan''s heart time and again.


    And it had strengthened his resolve time and again.


    "Alliance Hierarch, I too am afraid of dying here."


    "But, I do not wish to see more people die because of this. I feel we shouldn''t continue to delay and wait for future generations to solve these problems," Li Yuan said solemnly, without offering further explanation.


    Dongfang Ji''s eyes flickered slightly.


    Li Yuan''s statement "we shouldn''t wait for future generations to solve these problems" struck a chord in his heart.


    Dongfang Ji had thoroughly studied Li Yuan''s past.


    In Dongfang Ji''s view, when Li Yuan was young, he struggled hard mostly for his family and his personal goals.


    But as he grew, the experiences of his uncle, teachers... and the events he lived through were invisibly influencing the formation of Li Yuan''s character.


    Until today.


    Through personal contact and conversations, Dongfang Ji could truly feel something in Li Yuan that was different from the ordinary Martial Path prodigy.


    To have such a will and belief at the age of under 20 was very rare for Li Yuan.


    As Li Yuan thought, so he acted.


    Dongfang Ji was very pleased with Li Yuan and many thoughts flashed through his mind.


    As the supreme leader of the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji had many principles when it came to nurturing the younger generation.


    For example, compared to some prodigies with pure and astonishing talent, he would repeatedly test their character.


    He preferred to cultivate those with slightly less talent but astounding perseverance, strong beliefs, and a genuine desire to protect their civilization.


    Dongfang Ji was quite clear.


    If there were problems with character, focusing too much on cultivating such individuals might end up bringing greater disaster instead.


    To Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan represented someone with both excellent talent and character.


    Even better than Fang Hai had been in his early years.


    "You show extraordinary talent in the Mysteries of Earth, and you have the support of a Supreme Star Technique, but you are somewhat lacking in the Mysteries of Wind," said Dongfang Ji, "Take a look at this item." S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With that, Dongfang Ji flipped his palm.


    In the palm of his hand appeared a token the size of a palm, the token looking blue all over, with what seemed like countless fine patterns etched upon it.


    Hu!


    This strange token flew towards Li Yuan, who immediately reached out to catch it, his thoughts moving to resonate with it as soon as he did.


    Upon this resonance,


    "This token?" A trace of surprise flashed across Li Yuan''s eyes as he became instantly captivated. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire


    The countless mysterious patterns on the token could actually convey layers upon layers of the wind''s mysteries.


    Crucially, when Li Yuan''s consciousness fully converged upon the token,


    "Boom!" All of a sudden, Li Yuan felt his consciousness plunging downward without end.


    It was as if this token contained a miniature world within it, capable of accommodating his consciousness.


    Once consciousness merged, the countless patterns on the token he had observed before clearly became towering walls, with fluctuations of the Wind Law coming from them... mysterious, magical!


    To sense these mysterious fluctuations was too clear.


    These numerous wind fluctuations, although seemingly chaotic at first glance, actually had great regularity and were all part of a whole... Wind is inherently shapeless.


    For a moment, this even caused Li Yuan to become somewhat infatuated, and he unconsciously began to comprehend and cultivate.


    After a while, Li Yuan came back to his senses.


    Concentrating his consciousness, he quickly pulled away from the pull of the token.


    "Alliance Hierarch?" Holding the token, Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask, "What kind of treasure is this token?"


    "How do you feel about it?" Dongfang Ji asked.


    "A treasure." Li Yuan replied without hesitation, "Definitely a treasure that aids in the comprehension of the wind''s mysteries."


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan even compared this token to the ''Map of Myriad Stars'' he possessed.


    Each had its own strengths.


    The Map of Myriad Stars, containing everything, carried the many mysteries of True Intent related to the Earth Vein, which seemed largely unrelated to each other... Li Yuan believed that once he reached the threshold of the Law of Earth, the Map of Myriad Stars would still be of great use.


    And this blue token? It seemed to be of a lower tier, but the countless wind fluctuations were one whole.


    The former was vast and complex, while the latter was small and refined.


    "It is called the ''Thousand Illusion Matrix Map''," Dongfang Ji slowly said. "I''ve observed your battles. You tend to focus on the ''Phantom Body'' approach in the Wind Vein... It should suit you well."


    Li Yuan''s heart stirred.


    Suitable for him? Was the Alliance Hierarch intending to give a gift?


    "I have many treasures."


    "But rarely do I give them directly to the younger generation." Dongfang Ji said, "Whether it''s for you, for Fang Hai, these disciples, or for my own offspring, it''s the same... This Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, if you''re willing to take it, I can lend it to you for one hundred years of comprehension, but you will need to pay 10,000 points."


    "Are you willing?" Dongfang Ji asked, a smile on his face.


    "Willing!" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    10,000 points? 100 years? It sounded like a lot, but on average, it was only 100 Seven Stars Points per year.


    How many did Li Yuan have now? 81,000 Seven Stars Points!!


    As for financial wealth, before leaving Rob Sea, he had sold many various items, and his bank balance had long since exceeded a hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    Whether it was Seven Stars Points or Blue Star Coins, for Li Yuan, if it could directly enhance his strength, that was best.


    After all, for Li Yuan at this stage, ordinary weapons and treasures were of very limited use... Powerful weapons and treasures, such as Semi Divine Artifacts, even if he could get them, he couldn''t use them.


    As for those Star Technique Secret Manuals? The one thing Li Yuan didn''t lack was Star Techniques; he had more than he could cultivate even from his two teachers.


    Thus, this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map was highly suitable.


    "Okay, take the item. You can return it to me after a hundred years." Dongfang Ji said. "I will deduct the 10,000 points directly."


    Deduct directly? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Clearly, the one behind the Seven Stars Treasury with the right to issue and the ultimate authority over ''Seven Stars Points'' was none other than Dongfang Ji.


    It was his presence that gave meaning to the Seven Stars Points.


    "By the way."


    "If during your time as Prime Warrior, or in the Flying Heaven Realm, you can fully comprehend this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, then come find me." Dongfang Ji continued, "You will have gains beyond your expectations."


    "Remember, the sooner you comprehend it, the greater the reward."


    Li Yuan''s heart stirred, sensing that the chance of fully comprehending it during the Prime Warrior stage wasn''t high.


    After all, he had just tried it; those countless wind fluctuations... they probably already far exceeded the threshold of the laws.


    "Your strength has likely not yet reached the limit of Prime Warrior." Dongfang Ji remarked, "If you continue to cultivate... There is hope to complete the great deed you spoke of. If you can clear the many Second Level Star Realms... and contribute to the entire civilization, appropriate rewards will naturally be given to you."


    "There''s no need to worry about having too many Seven Stars Points and not being able to exchange them at the Seven Stars Treasury."


    "Once you become Flying Heaven Level, Demigod, or even possess a Divine Artifact! For instance, a Divine Artifact Long Spear, if you want it, I can get it for you." Dongfang Ji said, "The condition is that you have enough Seven Stars Points."


    Li Yuan''s pupils constricted slightly. A Divine Artifact?


    Indeed, he was the Alliance Hierarch, unchallenged as a Demigod!


    "Hmm."


    "Apart from this, the final matter for which I called you here today is about Mingxu Star Realm." Dongfang Ji''s voice became a bit serious, "Perhaps, after some time, you will need to go to Mingxu Star Realm as the ''Spirit Gun'' to participate in battle."

 Chapter 291 An Opportunity for Wind Vein (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

    "Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled, "Has there been some great war?""I''ve sent you the related intelligence reports," Dongfang Ji said. "Take a look at them first."


    The next second.


    Buzz~


    Li Yuan''s smart ring trembled, and he glanced down to see a file message from an unfamiliar account that contained text and images.


    Is this Senior Dongfang Ji''s account? Li Yuan wondered.


    "Add me as a friend and agree to receive the file," Dongfang Ji seemed to see Li Yuan''s hesitation. "You can finish reading it here, and then I''ll explain."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    He quickly opened the light screen and began examining the details of the file, which contained very detailed intelligence about the Mingxu Star Realm and images of the great war... Many of these details were definitely classified, and even other demi-gods might not be privy to them.


    But clearly, Dongfang Ji now considered Li Yuan absolutely central, and since the upcoming war would involve him, it was natural to inform him about the secrets.


    "Ming Mountain actually contains such secrets? I was previously wondering why Ming Mountain was so majestic; it simply didn''t look like a normal mountain." Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Big Brother Yu is really impressive."


    Li Yuan quickly finished reading.


    "When the Mingxu Star Realm first appeared, I had my suspicions," Dongfang Ji spoke slowly. "I think the Tianliang Civilization and even the Myriad Demons Civilization behind them must have guessed as well since it is, after all, a divine-level civilization. But at that time, it was only a First Level Star Realm... Even if we wanted to take control of it, it was beyond our reach."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help nodding; judging from the information, the strength of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior was far from enough to explore the secrets within Ming Mountain.


    "Alliance Hierarch."


    "Big Brother Yu alone slaughtered six of the Tianliang Civilization''s so-called ''Eighteen Saint Heirs,''" Li Yuan couldn''t help saying. "I probably don''t need to rush over there."


    The video information in the file was simple: it showed the scenes of Yu Jinghe leading Wu Manong and others battling against many top geniuses and Flying Heaven Warriors of the Tianliang Civilization.


    The battlefield had extended for hundreds of kilometers!


    In the end, Yu Jinghe unleashed his divine might and brutally slaughtered the Saint Heirs of the Tianliang Civilization.


    The ''Second Rank Saint Heirs'' of the Tianliang Civilization, who are at the level of True Intent Prime Warriors, are already comparable to the top geniuses of the Seven Star Mountain.


    Yet these nine Saint Heirs from the Tianliang Civilization teamed up and were utterly defeated by Yu Jinghe alone.


    Li Yuan reckoned that Yu Jinghe''s strength was already no less than Lude Nef''s, and perhaps even stronger.


    "The Tianliang Clan really can''t trouble Yu Jinghe anymore," Dongfang Ji nodded. "But there are two difficulties."


    "First is the local Flying Heaven forces in Ming Mountain; there are many Flying Heaven mid-stage powerhouses, and we can''t shake them in the short run. Even just Yu Jinghe isn''t enough," Dongfang Ji said. "Among them, there might even be Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses."


    "That''s why Bai Shan Semi-Divine hasn''t dared let them delve deep into the exploration, only looking for some entrance traces around the periphery."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help nodding.


    From the various pieces of information, the local forces of the Mingxu Star Realm were indeed alarmingly strong, with Flying Heaven Level beings in abundance, unlike other Second Rank Star Realms or Third Level Star Realms.


    If there were Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it wouldn''t be surprising.


    Whether it was the Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization, although they have both sent many top grade Origin Martial Artists of the Fifth Stage to breakthrough to the 30th level in the Mingxu Star Realm, planning to stay there permanently... but with only one year''s time, at most they could only break through to the 31st level... in terms of strength, they were not as good as Yu Jinghe.


    Yu Jinghe''s strength should be close to or on par with the 33rd level.


    Therefore, to this point, both sides are still exploring around the outskirts of Ming Mountain, not daring to go deeper.


    Once they stir up the local Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it would be a nightmare for any side''s forces.


    "If your strength advances further, with the Domain Illusory Body, you can entangle with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse for a while," Dongfang Ji said. "This is the advantage of cultivating two Laws."


    "Mm," Li Yuan nodded.


    A Second Rank Life contending with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse? Nearly impossible, even he wasn''t confident about it.


    But to just cope, there was hope.


    Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire


    "Secondly, be careful of the genius Prime Warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization," Dongfang Ji said.


    "Lu Lei, Rolbis?" Li Yuan said softly.


    These were two exceptional geniuses affiliated with the Myriad Demons Civilization mentioned in the recent intelligence report.


    "Mm."


    "The Myriad Demons Civilization is the divine-level civilization that is second only to the Immortal Ruins Civilization out of those our civilization has directly encountered; it also has many Divine Kingdoms within it... Looking across the entire Dimensional Domain, it is an extremely powerful civilization," Dongfang Ji said. "The ''Heaven Wind Divine Kingdom'' established by the Heaven Wind Divine is the mother country of the Tianliang Civilization."


    "The two civilizations are closely linked."


    "If the Tianliang Civilization itself had hope, they might not request help from the Myriad Demons Civilization... but now they are hopeless, and they are likely to invite the Myriad Demons Civilization to come," Dongfang Ji said. "Among the younger generation of the Myriad Demons Civilization, there are many whose strength is comparable to Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe."


    "The strongest we know of from the intelligence we''ve gathered are Lu Lei and Rolbis."


    "When the time comes, if you join hands with Yu Jinghe, there is hope of winning," Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan reflexively nodded. Perhaps, Alliance Hierarch Dongfang is an invincible demi-god, making many civilizations dare not invade further.


    But overall, the strength of the Seven Star Civilization is not comparable to the many divine-level civilizations.


    Geniuses like Lude Nef take many years for the Seven Star Civilization to produce one.


    But in those divine-level civilizations, each period sees the birth of a large group.


    It''s due to the overall cultivation environment, as well as the population base... with more people, naturally, more geniuses are born.


    "Alliance Hierarch, what about Lude Nef? Is he not going to the Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "He has already broken through to the Flying Heaven Realm," Dongfang Ji said. "It''s just that this news has been kept secret and hasn''t been announced."


    Li Yuan suddenly realized, no wonder there had been no news of Lude Nef for over a year¡ªhe had actually made a breakthrough.


    "Alliance Hierarch, I would like to inquire about the situation of my teacher, ''Lie Feng Semi-Divine''," Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask, "Bai Shan Semi-Divine purchased the ''Myriad Beasts Blood Source'' from me... Is that thing useful to my teacher?"


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine also owed a great debt of gratitude to Li Yuan.


    If the other party wanted it, it was naturally hard for Li Yuan to refuse.


    "Useless!"


    "Longevity is an iron rule of the heavens and earth''s law, nearly impossible to break," Dongfang Ji slightly shook his head, "For a demigod, a thousand years of life is the limit... All external objects simply prevent the body from aging further, but when it''s time to die, one must die, all the same."


    "Your teacher¡­" Dongfang Ji pondered for a moment before saying, "He''s no longer in the Seven Star Civilization, he has left."


    Left? So soon? Li Yuan was startled.


    By his reckoning, it hadn''t been long since he and his teacher had parted ways.


    "Your teacher is a demi-god peak powerhouse, nearing the end of his lifespan, it''s natural for him to take a gamble," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "There are matters that are of no benefit for you to know now. When someday you possess strength at the Flying Heaven Level comparable to that of a demigod, then you will be qualified to know the core secrets of our Seven Star Civilization."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, subconsciously thinking of the ''Burial Immortal Ancient Domain'' that Master Lie Feng had mentioned.


    Could it be, had his teacher gone there again?


    "Don''t overthink it."


    "What you need to do now is to continue strengthening your power."


    "You continue your concealed cultivation in the Martial Divine Star Realm for now, and if you''re required to travel to the Mingxu Star Realm, I will send word to you," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "If there''s anything in your cultivation that the Seven Stars Points cannot solve... send word to Duanmu Hong."


    "If it still can''t be resolved, then come find me," Dongfang Ji said.


    "Thank you, Alliance Hierarch," Li Yuan said respectfully.


    Li Yuan understood, he had gained another special privilege¡ªdirect access to Dongfang Ji.


    Across the Seven Star Civilization, most likely, the majority of Flying Heaven Warriors didn''t have this kind of permission.


    Before long,


    Li Yuan returned to the Martial Divine Star Realm through the same passage he had come by.


    "Master, that ''Thousand Illusion Token'' is one of the three great tokens of the Wind Vein," a deep voice sounded in the void space, "In the past, when Snow Dragon Semi-Divine was at the Flying Heaven Level, you didn''t even bestow it upon him."


    "Even with the aid of Divine Spirit Liquid and Lie Feng''s guidance, to be able to condense the embryo of True Intent from the Wind''s Mystery in such a short time," Dongfang Ji said calmly, "is enough to prove his talent in the Wind Vein."


    "Let''s try!"


    "There''s only one token for the Earth Vein, which has been given to the predecessor Bai Shan... Li Yuan, only by making great achievements in the Wind Vein, does he have a chance."


    ¡­


    Upon returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm, Duanmu Mountain Master did not probe further but allowed Li Yuan to depart, and Li Yuan returned to his own villa estate.


    The underground martial arts room.


    "Drip~"


    As soon as Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, he felt his smart ring vibrate; he glanced at the caller and immediately answered.


    A holographic projection formed.


    "Dean," Li Yuan said respectfully.


    The caller was none other than Fang Hai, clad in black, sitting within the quiet chamber of a flying vessel.


    "Duanmu Mountain Master mentioned you''ve just met with the Alliance Hierarch?" Fang Hai got straight to the point.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    "Makes sense. You''ve become the number one Prime Warrior of our civilization; it''s normal for the Alliance Hierarch to summon you," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was not surprised that Dean Hai knew this, and the dean was Dean Hai''s immediate superior... Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Did the Alliance Hierarch give you a token? One that can be exchanged for a hundred years of usage rights with ten thousand points?" Fang Hai''s mouth suddenly showed a hint of a mysterious smile.


    Li Yuan was startled and couldn''t help but ask, "Dean, how do you know?"


    Fang Hai laughed.


    "You don''t need to worry about how I know," Fang Hai''s expression turned serious, "I am just reminding you that this is a rare opportunity for you. In the eyes of the Alliance Hierarch... you are already a vital member of the core circle of our Seven Star Civilization."


    Li Yuan was shaken.


    If someone else had said this, perhaps they would have been buttering him up, but coming from Fang Hai, the meaning was entirely different.


    Fang Hai had no need to deceive him.


    "Whatever the Alliance Hierarch has tasked you with, do your best," Fang Hai said in a low voice, "I can''t say more, but all I can tell you is... the things that the Alliance Hierarch has kept hidden are ten times, a hundred times more powerful than you can possibly imagine!"


    "Since the Alliance Hierarch values you and has expectations for you, then go all out in your efforts, you won''t be wrong," he added.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    The Alliance Hierarch, that powerful?


    Soon after, Fang Hai ended the communication, but Li Yuan''s heart remained unsettled for a long time.


    "Thousand Illusion Formation?" Li Yuan flipped his palm to look at the token, "The Alliance Hierarch said, to come find him once I''ve comprehended all the Mystery contained in the token?"


    "Strive on!"


    "First, I''ll meditate on it for a while, then I''ll go to receive this year''s Martial God Inheritance," Li Yuan concentrated with a calm spirit, integrating his consciousness into the token.

 Chapter 17, 18)

    Consciousness descends."This Thousand Illusion Array is really profound," Li Yuan''s consciousness descended into the token, sensing it carefully.


    This time, the sensing and comprehension.


    was even more meticulous than not long ago in front of Dongfang Ji, deepening Li Yuan''s understanding.


    "Waves of wind fluctuations, seemingly invisible and scattered, are in fact from the same origin," Li Yuan realized.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s consciousness roamed through the array like a labyrinth.


    Endless fierce winds howled, buffeting Li Yuan''s consciousness and fully revealing the Mysteries of Wind before him.


    "There are many paths to follow within the Wind Law," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Those who are good at extreme speed, when cultivated to profound levels, can almost merge into space, finding those wind fluctuations that best fit themselves, becoming unmatched in speed...almost impossible for anyone to catch up."


    "Good at Stealth..." S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Good at Phantom Body, when cultivated to profound levels, can be reflected everywhere, almost omnipresent," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "The path I am comprehending is indeed the Phantom Body lineage."


    Every Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything, containing infinite possibilities.


    Most powerhouses try to follow one direction, and upon comprehending profound levels, gradually attempt to understand other paths... until one day, they completely penetrate an entire Law of the Great Dao.


    "The cultivation of the Great Dao is extremely arduous."


    "Stepping into the threshold of the Law gives hope of becoming a Divine Being," Li Yuan shook his head slightly, "I haven''t even truly condensed the True Meaning of Wind... Penetrating the entire Law of the Great Dao? It''s too far off."


    He calmed his mind.


    With undivided attention, Li Yuan earnestly contemplated, while combining memories from the first Martial God Inheritance, cross-referencing each other.


    ...After two full days.


    "Illusion!"


    Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    "This Thousand Illusion Array contains a whole one thousand streams of wind fluctuations," Li Yuan had initially unraveled the token''s mystery, "These one thousand mysterious streams, interconnected and combined, are like a huge battle array formed by one thousand phantom bodies."


    When he realized this, Li Yuan was extremely shocked.


    He immediately understood.


    If he could completely comprehend the Thousand Illusion Array, he could form a thousand phantom bodies in a thought.


    Just the thought of it left Li Yuan in awe.


    You should know that these phantom bodies are not mere virtual projections but real manifestations of the Wind Fluctuations, reflecting in all directions of the void, each containing a certain strength.


    Inundating the sky with attacks.


    Just the thought of it is frightening.


    "According to Senior Dongfang Ji''s meaning, reaching this level at my Flying Heaven Level is considered a success?" Li Yuan pondered to himself, "Right, now I can only condense four phantom bodies, the gap is too big."


    Li Yuan was not discouraged.


    Sky-scrapers rise from the ground, step by step.


    "These Mysteries of Wind, they combine in such a way."


    "Oh! They can still be utilized like this..."


    "So that''s how it is." Li Yuan immersed himself, doing his utmost to comprehend.


    Continuously deducing the Mysteries of Wind can also be exhausting.


    Therefore, Li Yuan would spend half his time comprehending the Mysteries of Earth as well.


    Additionally, he would practice his Spear Technique for two hours a day, striving to further integrate the Mysteries of the True Intent of Earth and Wind.


    The practice was very structured.


    As for Origin Power cultivation? Li Yuan''s Physical Quality had long reached 29.9 rank, already being at its peak... Without trying to condense an Origin Pill in the Sea of Source Energy, it was almost impossible to further improve his Physical Quality.


    Of course, Li Yuan would still practice the Visualization Method every day, and though the level of spiritual power improved slowly, it steadily approached level 37.


    Every two to three days, he would also continue to try awakening more Life Stars.


    "The second Star Meridian, the number of awakened Life Stars has exceeded 76,000," Li Yuan thought with great anticipation, "The awakening of the Seventh Layer Star Vein is not far off."


    A Star Meridian, when the number of awakened Life Stars reaches 77,760, is known as the Seventh Layer Star Vein.


    Then he could attempt to cultivate the Great Earth Divine Body.


    By then, Li Yuan''s strength could surely surge dramatically.


    ...


    In the blink of an eye, July 18th arrived, and Li Yuan leapt down from the Martial Divine Mountain and came to the Martial Divine Hall that stood tall on the central great land.


    In fact, Li Yuan had applied for the ''Martial God Inheritance'' a few days earlier, but with limited quotas available each day and July being the peak month for members of the Martial Divine Hall to receive inheritances,


    he had no choice but to queue up and wait until today.


    The majestic and simple palace.


    The hall opened, and Li Yuan saw at a glance the Divine Pillar in the palace, making his way to the end of the hall with ease.


    "First Rank Martial God Inheritor Li Yuan," a gentle voice resonated in Li Yuan''s mind, "Do not resist, follow the sensation, and display your Spear Technique to the fullest..."


    Whoosh!


    Invisible fluctuations swept past, and just like last year, Li Yuan, holding the Black Chen Spear, began to display his Spear Technique, with radiant Spear Light flickering.


    At the same time.


    As the power of the Spear Technique erupted, hum~ hum~ silently, strands of invisible Earth energy emerged, followed by phantoms appearing one after another.


    At first glance, it was as if within a powerful Domain, many Li Yuans were displaying their Spear Technique simultaneously in the hall.


    It was quite eerie.


    After a long while.


    "Skilled in Spear Technique, combined with the True Meaning of Earth and Wind... skilled in Domains, Phantom Body... extremely high talent," a cold voice resounded in Li Yuan''s mind, "Expanding the search for the Divine Being Inheritance."


    "Inheritance locked."


    "Mark sensation target, an unknown Fifth Order Divine Being, skilled in Sword Technique, proficient in the Domain of Earth, Phantom Body of Wind, cultivating dual laws..."


    "Inheritance begins."


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a speck of light fell from the sky above the temple, flying directly onto Li Yuan''s forehead.


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan''s consciousness was led, immediately becoming engrossed, and then completely captivated.


    ...


    Two hours later, Li Yuan returned to his villa mansion.

 Chapter 17, 18)_2

    Underground Martial Arts Room."It''s truly magical."


    "Earth and Wind, two great Mysteries, can actually combine like this and form such a Domain Illusory Body. It''s incredibly profound," Li Yuan excitedly thought.


    Even though the inheritance had ended, he was still filled with shock.


    The second Martial God Inheritance was so much more effective than the first...


    Although the Divine Being in the Consciousness Resonance did not use Spear Technique, for Li Yuan at this level, the weapon was not the main concern. What he primarily sensed was the profundity within.


    Apart from the mismatch in weapons, every other aspect was much better compared to the first time.


    "During the first Martial God Inheritance, I had not yet condensed the True Meaning of Earth, and the Mystery of Wind was even less mastered. No matter how clear the resonance, understanding was very difficult," Li Yuan secretly thought. "But this time?"


    Consciousness Resonance, Divine Being Inheritance, cannot directly enhance the skill level of the Inheritor.


    One must have enough deep comprehension and enough doubts to achieve the greatest effect.


    Over the past year of cultivation, Li Yuan made great progress in both the Earth Vein and the Wind Vein.


    Great progress often means more doubts.


    Especially for the Wind Vein, since condensing the embryonic form of the True Intent, Li Yuan had been trying to truly condense the True Intent and step into the threshold of Sixth Stage... but was unable to break through.


    "My talent in the Wind Vein is not bad, but it''s far from comparable to the Earth Vein," Li Yuan was very clear on this: "For the Earth Vein, it took just a few months to go from the initial Fifth Stage to condensing the True Intent, and that was without the aid of Divine Spirit Liquid, and my spiritual power wasn''t that strong initially."


    "In normal circumstances, for someone like Bertman, it''s already extremely fast to go from the embryonic form to condensing the True Intent in a little over a year," Li Yuan secretly thought. "Under normal circumstances, it would take me at least half a year to have a chance at condensing the True Intent."


    In the cultivation of skills, there is something known as an epiphany.


    But the so-called epiphany requires day after day of accumulation. Only with sufficient accumulation can there be a breakthrough.


    "And now."


    "With the Thousand Illusion Array Chart."


    "Combined with this Martial God Inheritance''s guidance," Li Yuan was immensely overjoyed, "my comprehension of the fluctuations in the Mystery of Wind will increase much faster."


    For the cultivation of his skills moving forward, Li Yuan became even clearer on what he had to do.


    "Seclusion!"


    "For the next period, unless the Mingxu Star Realm breaks out into a huge battle and the Mountain Lord summons me, I will see no one," Li Yuan suddenly declared loudly.


    "Yes, Master," the support AI respectfully responded.


    Li Yuan began a new round of secluded cultivation, trying to condense the True Meaning of Wind in one effort.


    At the very least, he had to maximize his cultivation efficiency while the effects of the Martial God Inheritance were still fresh.


    ...


    Martial Divine Star Realm.


    In the only tavern.


    A large group of geniuses from the Martial Divine Hall were gathered here.


    "Damn! Li Yuan is unreachable again?" Dantai Feng looked at the reminder on his AI bracelet: "This year''s newcomers from Blue Star can''t even spare a single day?"


    Many geniuses from the Martial Divine Hall had accepted Dantai Feng''s invitation today¡ªTian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, Yin He, and others had come... Perhaps when they first entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, they were somewhat strangers to each other.


    But as time passed,


    the many geniuses also began to band together. All coming from Blue Star and sharing the bond of ''fellow year'', their relationships generally grew better and better.


    "This guy doesn''t come, and neither do Lin Lanyue and Alicia," Dantai Feng felt a headache coming on: "Sigh, each one is a cultivation maniac."


    "As if you don''t work hard in cultivation," Tian Dazhuang glanced at him: "In the past few months when I tried contacting you, wasn''t it impossible to reach you too?" Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Dazhuang, don''t always bring me down," Dantai Feng glared.


    Suddenly,


    "Yan Jing Senior Brother has arrived."


    "Yan Jing." The group of geniuses in the room all stood up, welcoming the newly arrived Yan Jing.


    Perhaps many of them had talents no less than Yan Jing''s. For instance, Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang were outstanding choices. Although they were young, their skills were already approaching Fifth Stage High Rank.


    But!


    Untapped talent is just talent... while Yan Jing was truly powerful.


    A top genius from Seven Star Mountain, a True Intent Prime Warrior, was enough to command respect from anyone.


    "Please, have a seat," Yan Jing said with a smile, knowing Dantai Feng''s strength and background.


    He naturally came because he was invited.


    In Yan Jing''s plan for cultivation, he intended to return to Xia Country for an official position in the future, so it was natural to build a good relationship with this group of ''Hall friends.''


    As time passed, the banquet gradually came to an end.


    "Big Brother Yan," someone casually said: "I heard about the big battle in the Rob Sea a while ago, the one where the Spirit Gun broke into the matriarchal nest. Were you part of the battle?"


    Yan Jing, who had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly tensed up inside but maintained a calm exterior and smiled: "Trick, you just joined the Martial Divine Hall this year, right? Where did you hear about it?"


    This banquet was initially meant to welcome the nine young geniuses from Blue Star who had arrived this year.


    "I heard about it," the blonde-haired Trick said with a smile.


    "I indeed participated," Yan Jing chuckled.


    "Oh?" Trick''s eyes brightened, seemingly curious: "Big Brother Yan, then do you know who Spirit Gun is? Who is he?"


    "Spirit Gun?"


    "Big Brother Yan, you also participated in the Rob Sea battle?"


    "That''s amazing!"


    "Yeah, who exactly is Spirit Gun?" The group, who had been casually chatting, started to look curiously at Yan Jing.


    "I don''t know,"


    "The battlefield I was responsible for was completely different, I never saw Spirit Gun the whole time," Yan Jing shook his head: "But I heard from other Flying Heaven Warriors that Spirit Gun seemed to be quite old, always striving to awaken more Star Meridians, which is why he hasn''t broken through."


    One part truth, nine parts fiction.


    This was the response Yan Jing had planned ever since he received the order to keep things secret. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Yan Jing deliberately lingered behind.

 Chapter 17, 18)_3

    ```He watched Trick leave.


    "Did that guy just casually ask, or was he deliberately testing me?" Yan Jing frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.


    Orders had been given long ago.


    Their operations in Rob Sea were confidential and generally unknown to the public.


    Even someone with a massive background like Dantai Feng was unaware.


    Trick, a newcomer who had just joined the Martial Divine Star Realm, how did he know?


    "Report it."


    "If he learned of it inadvertently, it won''t affect him," Yan Jing''s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "But if he''s a spy?"


    Yan Jing was very concerned about Li Yuan''s safety.


    Firstly, in the battle at Rob Sea Star Realm, Li Yuan had turned back to face the enemy alone, which deeply moved Yan Jing. In a sense, it was like saving his life.


    Secondly, from the moment he fully recognized Li Yuan''s talents and strength, he was clear on one thing: if he wanted to establish a foothold in the higher echelons of Starfire Martial Hall or Xia Country, then Li Yuan could very well become his biggest support.


    Unlike other Demigods? Not so closely related.


    ...


    Not long after.


    "Re-investigate Trick." An order came from the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall, "Check his entire network of relationships, family member information, and review all traces of him in the virtual network over the past ten years."


    "All day long, within the Martial Divine Star Realm, monitor him secretly for 24 hours."


    Such scrutiny required mobilizing a large amount of resources and collaborative efforts from many departments.


    Normally, Starfire Martial Hall members would undergo various checks before they entered the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    But it was very rare to monitor them 24/7 after they had entered.


    After all, if such actions were to leak, it would cause great dissatisfaction and resentment among all the genius members of the Martial Hall.


    People have secrets.


    People have a need for privacy.


    Nobody wants to be monitored 24 hours a day.


    That''s how criminals are treated.


    But when it involves ''Spirit Gun'' and even more so the foremost genius in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, everyone from top to bottom dares not be careless.


    Just three days later.


    "Trick is not the problem."


    "It''s his university professor, a top-grade Prime Warrior who is the spy! Secretly dealing with Tianliang Civilization... Proceed with immediate arrest."


    "He used Trick''s identity as a member of Martial Hall to attempt uncovering the true identity and whereabouts of ''Spirit Gun''." With expansive resources deployed and comprehensive surveillance, they finally found a trace.


    And this!


    Was just the tip of the iceberg regarding the Alien Race''s efforts to probe the true identity and whereabouts of ''Spirit Gun'', and only a minority were caught.


    Many more probing actions were hidden, never revealed. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    At Seven Star Mountain.


    Days passed by.


    Unaware of the turmoil outside, Li Yuan was engrossed in his concealed cultivation, wholeheartedly contemplating the Mysteries of Wind and Earth.


    Whether it was the Wind Vein or the Earth Vein, Li Yuan was steadily improving, and he was getting closer to breaking through his bottleneck.


    The Visualization Method, the awakening of the Life Star... all were progressing in an orderly fashion.


    This is the magic of time.


    Li Yuan had no more sudden insights.


    But with time grinding on, his overall strength was steadily increasing, slowly but very stable.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already August 2nd.


    On this day.


    After two hours of practicing Spear Technique, Li Yuan once again began to awaken his Life Star.


    Inside Li Yuan.


    That vast and somewhat gloomy star space of destiny.


    "Tzz~" Li Yuan''s spiritual power split into threads of thought, following the invisible fluctuations along the star meridians, sensing each star, and constantly trying to awaken them.


    It was exceedingly slow, and occasionally he would fail!


    The unawakened Life Stars were after all in the minority, with most being dormant Dead Stars. Each failure took a toll on his body and spirit, so Li Yuan was very cautious.


    Suddenly¡ª¡ª


    Another Life Star awakened, and the moment it did, it made a subtle connection with another Life Star not far away.


    Hum~ Hum~ The Life Stars connected to each other, and in an instant, this invisible fluctuation had traversed across most of the star space of destiny.


    Causing that particularly brilliant star meridian to suddenly tremble, followed by a transformation of the meridian, making it even more dazzling.


    "Hmm?"


    Li Yuan was at first stunned, then a surge of joy welled up: "Seventh Layer Star Vein!!"


    "I''ve achieved it." A sense of accomplishment arose in Li Yuan''s heart.


    The first star meridian was the Perfect Star Vein, which was activated with the first Spiritual Guidance of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with Li Yuan playing a minimal part, being mostly passive.


    But the following four star meridians were awakened by Li Yuan himself.


    Reaching the ''Seventh Layer Star Vein'' level with the second star meridian was an especially joyous occasion.


    The Fifth Layer Star Veins and Seventh Layer Star Veins are both crucial.


    When he initially awakened the Fifth Layer Star Veins, practicing the Star Technique greatly increased Li Yuan''s strength, allowing him to easily handle the so-called demigod-level genius when the Immortals Ruins Civilization descended in the World within Worlds.


    "With the Seventh Layer Star Vein, I can begin cultivating ''Great Earth Divine Body''." Li Yuan looked forward expectantly.


    "Stellar Mysterious Body" was just a Fifth Layer Star Technique, and it allowed Li Yuan to dominate among Prime Warriors and contend with ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Great Earth Divine Body" is a Seven Stars Technique.


    "The ''Myriad Gold Divine Body'', the most famous star technique cultivated by the invincible Dongfang Ji among the Demigods," Li Yuan thought, "''Myriad Gold Divine Body'' is equivalent to ''Great Earth Divine Body''."


    From this, one can imagine the power of this star technique ¨C even among demigods, it''s extremely powerful.

    For Origin Martial Artists and Flying Heaven Warriors, it is certainly a diminisher, one of the absolute top-tier techniques.


    ```

 Chapter 17, 18)_4

    "The battle at Mingxu Star Realm is imminent," Li Yuan had perused the information on the Mingxu Star Realm and was well aware of what it entailed.Even if the top talents from the Myriad Demons Civilization did not come, he would have to go sooner or later.


    If it was merely a breakthrough in skill, even if he could achieve the True Meaning of Wind and True Meaning of Earth to the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage, Li Yuan didn''t have much confidence to spar with the native Flying Heaven Peak experts of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    The basic difference was too great.


    "By cultivating the ''Great Earth Divine Body'', once deployed, it will boost my foundational strength tremendously, enough to truly match a Level 30 or even 31 warrior in the Flying Heaven Realm under the state of Star Technique," Li Yuan contemplated. "Only then, do I have a chance at contending with Flying Heaven Peak warriors."


    Skill is important.


    But foundational strength is also important.


    ...


    He temporarily set aside other facets of cultivation.


    "Let''s start!"


    With a wave of his hand, a series of items radiating strange fluctuations levitated around him, including the Five Elements Divine Crystals and many Third Rank treasures as well as Fourth Rank ones.


    All manner of treasures were present.


    "Initially, when I assisted the Boundary Spirit, it prepared the Five Elements Divine Crystals for me to cultivate the ''Great Earth Divine Body'' to the Second Order Limit, which are the primary treasures," Li Yuan mused. "I also spent 8,600 Points at the Seven Stars Treasure Vault to purchase the rest... no need to buy and collect them again."


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate.


    Especially Body Refining Star Techniques, which aim for an all-around evolution of the body, have always been among the hardest to practice, with the most stringent requirements.


    "Whoosh~"


    Upon a thought, the might of True Intent combined with spiritual power swiftly began absorbing the essence of the rare and precious treasures surrounding him per the cultivation methods of the ''Great Earth Divine Body''. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    For those with less skillful techniques, cultivating such a powerful Star Technique at the Prime Warrior stage might require assistance from a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    But Li Yuan needed no such help. His realm was lofty enough.


    Before long.


    Whoosh~ Surrounded by a massive array of treasures, streams of essence gradually began to merge into Li Yuan''s body, inducing myriad miraculous changes.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~


    The Seventh Layer Star Vein within Li Yuan suddenly shone brilliantly, its presence felt more clearly than ever, and due to the absorption of various odd energies, countless Life Stars were invigorated.


    "No time to waste!" S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan calmed his heart and began inscribing the First Rank Star Marks of the ''Great Earth Divine Body'' upon the Star Vein.


    He rebranded the Star Marks on each Life Star with relative ease.


    It would be more accurate to say he was ''adding'' rather than rebranding.


    Normally, to practice a new Star Technique, one must erase all the Star Marks on a Star Meridian and return to the origin... a process excruciatingly painful.


    However, Star Techniques like the ''Stellar Mysterious Body'', ''Great Earth Divine Body'', and ''All Things Divine Body'', which are part of the same lineage, only become more complex based on the original marks, enhancing their power.


    Hence, in a way, cultivating the ''Stellar Mysterious Body'' first was lessening the difficulty of cultivating the ''Great Earth Divine Body''.


    "Whoosh~"


    As time passed, with each Life Star''s Star Marks undergoing changes.


    Tiny but profound transformations happened in Li Yuan''s body, a fundamental enhancement of life... continually absorbing the essence of many extraordinary treasures.


    "Normally, once one reaches 29.9 in Physical Quality, there can be no further improvement. But through the cultivation of Star Technique, it can leapfrog, drawing ever closer to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The difference between 29.9 and 30 was like heaven and earth, vastly different at the base physical level.


    ...


    Even with the foundation of the ''Stellar Mysterious Body'' and a wealth of treasured items at the ready.


    And though both skill and spiritual power were sufficiently high.


    Li Yuan still took a full nine days to finally cultivate the ''Great Earth Divine Body'' to the Second Order Limit.


    "''Great Earth Divine Body'', Second Order Limit, is a 14th Rank Star Technique," Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, feeling the surging power within his body.


    Boom! Boom!


    Without using a Star Technique, a random punch carried millions of pounds of force, making the air explode violently.


    Once a Star Technique was deployed, revealing the full might of the Divine Body... that''s when it becomes a true weapon that can prevail across different ranks.


    "My Physical Quality has improved even further."


    "I wonder if I can now cultivate the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein''," Li Yuan suddenly pondered.

 Chapter 293 Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Although he had gained many inheritances and cultivated a multitude of Star Techniques, deep in Li Yuan''s heart, what he always regarded as the most important was the Ninefold Star Technique "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein".This was a Supreme Star Technique.


    It enhanced one''s affinity with the Law of Earth, greatly increasing the efficiency of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.


    Skill is the foundation. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In a short period of time, Li Yuan had advanced his understanding of the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth to near the Intermediate Rank... The contribution of this Supreme Star Technique was indispensable.


    And yet, Li Yuan had only cultivated it to the First Order Limit.


    In fact, over the past year, Li Yuan would use the Earth Origin Crystal every now and then in an attempt to imprint the Second Order Star Mark on his Perfect Star Vein... but failed time and time again.


    "My attainment in the Earth Vein is high enough, and my understanding of the Second Order Star Marks is sufficiently profound. With just a thought, I can condense the Star Marks in the void," Li Yuan mused, "When it comes to auxiliary cultivation materials, the Earth Origin Crystal is certainly enough."


    "Spiritual power? Among Flying Heaven Warriors, mine is extremely strong."


    Therefore, there was only one possibility¡ªthe body was not strong enough!


    The body is the foundation of all cultivation. The stronger the body, the stronger its ability to nurture the soul and the origin of the Life Star.


    "When I cultivated the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' to the First Stage, I was already a Prime Warrior, naturally able to easily bear the First Order Star Mark," Li Yuan thought. "I''ve now cultivated to level 29.9... but to perfectly support the Second Order Star Mark of a Supreme Star Technique, the requirements for the Life Star''s origin probably are extremely high." Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the more stringent the requirements for cultivation.


    ...


    He took out a small piece of Earth Origin Crystal.


    Surrounding himself with it, Li Yuan initiated a thought to start absorbing the essence contained within the Divine Crystal.


    Hum~ A massive influx of strange energy.


    Under Li Yuan''s deliberate guidance, it gradually poured into that Perfect Star Vein.


    Instantly, each Life Star''s brilliance surged, making Li Yuan''s sensation of the Life Stars far clearer than ever before by countless times.


    "Let''s begin."


    "Branding the Star Mark." Most of Li Yuan''s consciousness was entirely focused on the Perfect Star Vein.


    Rumble~


    The first Life Star trembled violently as strands of Origin Power merged into it, attempting to construct the Second Order Star Mark.


    A new Star Mark bearing invisible might was born, immediately increasing the pressure on the entire Life Star, causing even Li Yuan to feel a slight discomfort in his body...


    "Although I''ve cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique, my body is still slightly weak," Li Yuan immediately deduced. "This makes the Life Star''s origin not strong enough, but it can barely withstand it."


    Just like a planet with limited resources can normally only support a billion people... if it were inhabited by a hundred billion, there would be various problems due to resource scarcity, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire planet.


    It''s the same with cultivating Star Techniques.


    If the body is not strong enough, if the origin of the Life Star is not strong enough, then it cannot bear too powerful Star Marks...


    "If I became a Flying Heaven Warrior and experienced a leap in Life Level, cultivating with a Third Rank body would probably be quite easy," Li Yuan mused. "But if you want to cultivate it as a Prime Warrior, you need a very strong Body Refining Star Technique as a foundation."


    Body Refining Star Technique comprehensively promotes the leap in Life Level.


    "Still need to use a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals to aid my cultivation," Li Yuan''s body strength was already close to the Prime Warrior''s limit, just barely able to endure.


    However, even with a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals, the speed of imprinting the Second Order Star Marks was very slow.


    After a long time.


    "Hum~" The Second Order Star Mark of the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" was finally successfully imprinted with the first one.


    "To have one means there could be a second," Li Yuan thought. "But just to successfully imprint one, so much essence of Earth Origin Crystal was consumed... to fully cultivate it successfully?"


    With a thought, Li Yuan made a quick calculation and swiftly came to a conclusion.


    To use Earth Origin Crystals for the entire cultivation process, at least Divine Crystals worth over a hundred thousand points would have to be exchanged from the Seven Star Treasury.


    Otherwise, there wouldn''t be enough to cultivate this Star Technique to the Second Order Limit.


    "How many points do I have? How could I spend them all on this?" Li Yuan shook his head inwardly and waved, putting away the Earth Origin Crystal that was suspended around him.


    After cultivating the "Great Earth Divine Body" to the Second Order Limit, the number of Five Elements Divine Crystals in Li Yuan''s hands was also running low.


    "It seems."


    "I need to return to World within Worlds and use that stone chamber for cultivation. Only then will there be hope of cultivating the Star Technique to the Second Order Limit," Li Yuan thought.


    After a short contemplation, he sent a message to Duanmu Mountain Master, stating his request.


    "This news, once passed back, will probably surprise the upper echelons. I estimate they''ll also guess that I have secrets in the World within Worlds," Li Yuan mused.


    But Li Yuan wasn''t too concerned about it.


    The present was different from the past. When he had first received the Ancient Torch Divine inheritance, his vision and strength were nowhere near what they are now. Out of caution and not daring to expose himself... he had no clear understanding of the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But now, looking back, individuals like Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji possessed very impressive resources, and there seem to be no shortage of Divine Being Inheritances.


    Besides.


    Although Li Yuan had shown promise back then, he hadn''t joined the Martial Divine Hall nor truly caught Dongfang Ji''s attention.


    Facing the potential coveting of a Demigod, one naturally has reservations.


    Now? With an increase in strength and status, as long as Demigods do not act directly, Li Yuan fears no one.


    ...


    Within the palace at the very top of Seven Star Mountain.


    Duanmu Hong awakened from his meditation, looking at the request posed by Li Yuan, he was somewhat astonished: "Isn''t the World within Worlds of the Fierce Feather Star Realm only accessible to First Order beings?"


    "Could it be that Li Yuan has an additional right to enter?"


    Duanmu Hong didn''t dare to be careless. After some thought, he made another transmission.


    Soon, communication was established.


    "Mountain Lord, what''s the matter?" a deep and cold voice sounded.

 Chapter 293 Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    "San Ye Semi Divine," Duanmu Hong said, "it is Li Yuan. He has just applied to me to go to the Fierce Feather Star Realm''s World within Worlds and use that stone room deep within the vein.""What?" San Ye Semi Divine was also slightly startled, "Isn''t the World within Worlds only accessible to First Rank lifeforms?"


    Duanmu Hong fell silent.


    After a while.


    "Tell him, he can," San Ye Semi Divine slowly replied, "I will arrange for the stationed Martial Artists to leave that area... Let him use it, all free of charge. Once his cultivation is complete... he can simply leave, and try not to expose his movements."


    "Mm," the Duanmu Mountain Master nodded, but couldn''t help asking, "What about the personnel arrangements that were set before?"


    Since winning the World within Worlds war, the Seven Star Civilization had been arranging for First Rank warriors who needed it to enter, breakthrough to become Second Rank Prime Warriors inside, and then cultivate some secret techniques and Star Techniques with the help of the stone rooms.


    It had saved the civilization a great deal of Five Elements Divine Crystal.


    Naturally, there was a prioritized list, and the order from San Ye Semi Divine was equivalent to letting Li Yuan jump the queue. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Postpone all of them."


    "If anyone is dissatisfied, tell them, this is the order of the Alliance Hierarch," San Ye Semi Divine declared.


    Suddenly, San Ye Semi Divine''s tone softened, "Li Yuan is currently the most important cultivation genius of our civilization, and we must fully satisfy anything that can be satisfied... Besides, the World within Worlds was conquered by him; he should have the freedom to come and go, which means he holds special privilege access. Deep within the World within Worlds, there likely still lies a secret."


    "Understood," the Duanmu Mountain Master nodded.


    The implication from San Ye Semi Divine was simple, other resources for cultivation might be held up and it wouldn''t matter much... But the cultivation resources of the World within Worlds were connected to Li Yuan.


    If Li Yuan''s needs were not met, eventually, no one else might be able to use the stone rooms.


    ...


    "Is the application approved so quickly? And I can use it indefinitely starting one day later?" Li Yuan was quite surprised.


    He had thought there would be some complications.


    After all, Li Yuan knew that many First Rank geniuses within the Seven Star Civilization were preparing to queue up for its use... He had been ready to wait in line for a while.


    "Probably, my freedom to enter and exit the World within Worlds has intimidated the Demigods above," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    This kind of access was very special; any Demigod could guess that something was amiss.


    "Let''s go!"


    Not wishing to delay, Li Yuan quietly left Seven Star Mountain, and aside from the Duanmu Mountain Master... no one knew of his whereabouts.


    After leaving the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Li Yuan didn''t choose to fly directly, instead, he took a flying machine and disguised himself as another person.


    This was arranged by the Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Although the alien civilizations were currently focusing their inquiry efforts on the "Spirit Gun," they had never loosened their vigilance against "Li Yuan," the super genius.


    Staying in the Martial Divine Star Realm was harmless.


    Once out in the world, exposing his whereabouts could very well lead to an assassination attempt... The Feixing was vast, far surpassing Blue Star, and no one knew if the Alien Civilization could mobilize Flying Heaven Peak experts.


    ...


    Martial Divine Star Realm, among the densely packed estates and villas situated on the land.


    Inside one unremarkable estate.


    Whoosh! A young woman dressed in tight-fitting clothes, holding a long sword, was silently practicing swordsmanship in the Martial Arts Room.


    Swoo! Swoo! Swoo!


    The sword light danced; with every thread of light that emerged, it subtly invoked the Mystery of Fire from the surroundings... creating wisps of flames out of the void.


    This scene, if witnessed by Flying Heaven Warriors, would shock and astonish them.


    It was normal for a sword to draw on the power of heaven and earth.


    But to make the power of heaven and earth materialize? To truly bring it into a material manifestation... The requirements were extremely high, and even those with Fifth Stage Perfection found it difficult to achieve.


    "True Phoenix Bloodline."


    "It allows me to have an extremely high affinity with the Fire System," Lin Lanyue murmured to herself, "In combat, with the same level of skill, I can exert stronger power when it comes to the Fire System."


    After leaving the World within Worlds, she had come to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Lin Lanyue still dared not relax in her cultivation.


    The many experiences since her youth had also caused changes within her heart.


    Like the last gathering, when Lin Lanyue found out that Li Yuan was not going, she directly refused to attend.


    "Master, San Ye Semi Divine wishes to establish communication," the voice of the auxiliary AI suddenly rang out in the Martial Arts Room.


    "San Ye Semi Divine?" Lin Lanyue was mildly shocked.


    When she was deeply immersed in cultivation, ordinary communications would not have been able to disturb her.


    "Answer it," Lin Lanyue said directly, immediately sheathing her long sword.


    The voice communication was established.


    "Lanyue, I hope I''m not disturbing your cultivation," a clear, gentle voice emerged from the empty light screen projection.


    "Is there something you need, Semi Divine?" Lin Lanyue asked.


    "There is a matter I would like to inquire about with you," San Ye Semi Divine said, "It concerns Li Yuan..."


    Swiftly, San Ye Semi Divine recounted the detailed situation to Lin Lanyue.


    "You are a registered disciple of a Fire System Divine, and we understand you have the freedom to enter and exit the World within Worlds," San Ye Semi Divine said, "But Li Yuan, according to what he originally claimed, he only received a Demigod inheritance... How does he have this privilege?"


    Lin Lanyue was speechless, her mind racing.


    Just one second.


    "Semi Divine, I am not a Direct Disciple, and only the Boundary Spirit knows the many secrets of the World within Worlds," Lin Lanyue explained, "In fact, if not for Li Yuan''s comprehension of the Earth Vein, with his peerless talent, he might have already become the Teacher''s Direct Disciple... And he also discovered traces of the Divine of the Blazing Flame."


    "Perhaps, this is a special privilege given to him by the Boundary Spirit," Lin Lanyue continued, "After all, he is also considered a part of the Fire System Divine lineage."


    Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    Lin Lanyue''s response was watertight.


    Of course, she knew the real reason, but compared to the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization... she trusted Li Yuan more.


    Since Li Yuan himself had not revealed it, Lin Lanyue naturally would not disclose it either.


    "Good."


    "I understand now, go back to your cultivation," the voice of San Ye Semi Divine was gentle, "With your talent, you are expected to achieve Semi Divine status in the future, and I look forward to the day you stand alongside me."


    "Yes, Semi Divine."


    The communication was terminated by both parties.


    "Li Yuan has gone to the World within Worlds again?" Lin Lanyue pondered silently, "Is it really just to cultivate using the stone chamber?"


    ...


    Merely ten or so hours later,


    Li Yuan had already traversed nearly half of Feixing, and half of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, arriving outside the War Fortress established by the Blazing Flame Family.


    Other First Rank life forms entering the World within Worlds must pass through a ''gateway''.


    But Li Yuan, who possessed the token, did not need to.


    Just as Gu You and the Boundary Spirit had said, with the token in hand, as long as he was near the World within Worlds, he could directly enter.


    "Go ahead," Li Yuan thought, activating the token.


    The next moment.


    Hum~ With Li Yuan''s current strength, he could faintly sense an invisible fluctuation forming in the void.


    "Li Yuan, welcome back, don''t resist," the gentle voice of the Boundary Spirit rang out.


    Whoosh~


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, and in an instant, he disappeared from his original location, having been taken into the World within Worlds.


    ...


    Whoosh~


    Li Yuan felt a flickering around him, followed by countless streaming lights, blurring his surroundings.


    After a dozen seconds or so, he found himself in an ancient palace.


    It was the Hall of Inheritance for the Earth System Divine.


    "Little brother, returning so soon, are you prepared to take on the challenge of the Hall of Inheritance?"

 Chapter 294 The Second Test! Is this difficult?

    "Sister!" Li Yuan was startled and immediately saw the figure that seemed both real and surreal appearing in the void of the palace.Clad in white, with an exceptionally beautiful face, her long hair flowed down and her bare feet emitted a sense of sanctity that prevented any blasphemous thoughts.


    It was the controller of the Hall of Inheritance, ''Gu You''. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire


    "What, seeing me seems to have surprised you?" The girl in white smiled at Li Yuan, stepping down from the void and approaching him.


    "Sis, I didn''t expect the Boundary Spirit to transport me here," Li Yuan said with a wry smile.


    Indeed, he had not expected it.


    Although Li Yuan had planned to attempt the second trial of the Hall of Inheritance this time, he had also prepared to cultivate the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' to the Second Order Limit before attempting it.


    After all, even though ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' was an auxiliary cultivation technique for Star Techniques, as a Supreme Star Technique, it could significantly enhance Li Yuan''s strength when he invoked the Mysteries of Earth.


    "It was I who had Xiao Huo transport you here," Gu You said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan: "It sensed in a preliminary test that your vital energy is extremely strong, seeming to approach the Flying Heaven Level... You must have cultivated the ''Great Earth Divine Body'' to the pinnacle of the second order."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.


    Li Yuan was not surprised, he had long experienced the inquiry methods of the Boundary Spirit, and he saw no need to hide anything from Gu You.


    "In just over a year, you have cultivated the ''Great Earth Divine Body'', proving that your second Star Meridian has awakened to the Seventh Layers, and indeed, your Star Meridian talent is astonishing," the girl sighed lightly, her eyes shining with a spiritual light.


    She felt that she had chosen the right person.


    "How many Star Meridians have you awakened?" the girl asked again.


    "Five, and I should be close to awakening the sixth," Li Yuan added: "I have not encountered any bottlenecks so far."


    Indeed, he had not encountered any bottlenecks.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, among that group of top geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef, it was incredibly difficult to awaken six Star Meridians even after decades of cultivation... Most Flying Heaven Warriors would generally awaken four Star Meridians during their Prime Warrior stage.


    In civilizations like the Seven Star Civilization, where there are thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, just awakening six Star Meridians and reaching the intermediate rank of Sixth Stage... By slowly cultivating and refining Origin Pills, they were destined to reach level 36.


    This is the standard of a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    And Li Yuan? Although his spiritual power had not reached level 37 and he had not initiated the second Spiritual Guidance... he had already caught up with most Flying Heaven Warriors in terms of Star Meridians through his own efforts.


    "Then that''s correct."


    Gu You said with a smile, "You''ve come to the secret realm this time, probably wanting to cultivate ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' to the Second Order Limit."


    "Sister sees clearly," Li Yuan smiled.


    Obviously, Gu You had a thorough understanding of the cultivation requirements for these powerful Star Techniques.


    "There''s no rush in cultivating Star Techniques."


    "You''ve been growing at a surprising rate, and it just so happens you''re here today," Gu You smiled: "So why not try the second trial first?"


    "Alright," Li Yuan had no objections and indeed, he felt a bit of anticipation.


    According to what Gu You had said before,


    As long as he passed the second trial, he would be able to initially take control of the Hall of Inheritance.


    "Brother, follow me." Gu You suddenly waved her hand, and a wall nearby burst into a rumble.


    Boom... A passageway suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


    "This?" Li Yuan was flabbergasted, considering he had spent so much time in the Hall of Inheritance without the slightest inkling.


    Whoosh!


    The girl''s bare feet stepped across the void, proceeding down the newly formed passageway to the depths, and Li Yuan hurried to keep up.


    ...


    The corridor was dark but extremely spacious, with a world of its own inside. As one entered, it felt as though they had arrived in a different space altogether.


    "Brother,"


    "Our father left behind five trials," the girl said while walking: "The first trial you passed previously made you a Direct Disciple, granting you weapons, tokens, and treasures to assist in Enlightenment... This is what you deserved."


    "The second trial is the test for Prime Warriors," the girl continued: "Passing it proves you are sufficiently excellent at this stage and will grant you a second reward."


    "It also allows you to initially recognize the Hall of Inheritance as your own, enabling you to take it out of this secret realm and Star Realm," the girl glanced at Li Yuan, smiling: "Otherwise, once you become a Flying Heaven Warrior, it would be difficult to take the Hall of Inheritance with you."


    Li Yuan was speechless for a moment, then felt it made sense upon reflection.


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm is but a Second Level Star Realm, which only allows entry to Prime Warriors.


    However, Li Yuan also harbored some doubts: did the Ancient Torch Divine know when establishing the Hall of Inheritance that it would end up trapped in a Second Level Star Realm?... What Li Yuan didn''t realize was that many of these rules were actually set by Gu You.


    In this Hall of Inheritance, Gu You had immense authority.


    "The third trial is for you to challenge at the Flying Heaven Level, and once you succeed, the reward will be far more substantial, with some treasures that would drive many demigods mad..."


    "The fourth trial is for you to attempt at the Semi Divine Realm..."


    "The fifth trial is for when you become a Fifth Rank Divine Being to challenge, and it''s the final test. Once successful, you''ll receive all the heirlooms left behind by our father," Gu You looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    Li Yuan listened in amazement.


    The Ancient Torch Divine had set five trials for his future Successor? Especially the last one, which required a Divine Being? It was almost incredible.


    From this alone, Li Yuan could infer that his surrogate teacher, the ''Ancient Torch Divine'', was no ordinary Divine.


    Most likely, he was a being that transcended the fifth order.


    ...The corridor was very long, and the girl walked leisurely ahead, with Li Yuan naturally not daring to overtake.


    They passed by many ancient doors along the way, doors shrouded in dust, behind which what seemed to be secrets were hidden.


    But since Gu You did not offer explanations, Li Yuan dared not inquire further.


    Finally.


    After passing through a total of six doors, they stopped in front of the seventh door.


    "The trial for Prime Warriors is right here." Gu You smiled, followed by a lifting of her hand.


    Her slender fingers pointed gently at the door, a surge of invisible force sweeping past.


    Boom... The metal doors, sealed for eons, slowly began to open, revealing the scene inside to Li Yuan''s eyes.


    It was another hall.


    "Let''s go, inside." The girl said, an invisible force enveloping Li Yuan, and in an instant, they flew into the metallic gate.


    The expansive hall.


    A white sphere floated high in the sky, casting a hazy glow that illuminated the entire hall.


    In the hall, there were sequentially four areas.


    There was a giant Divine Pillar, entirely golden, engraved with countless mysterious runes that emitted invisible Spiritual Shock waves.


    There was a massive stone wall.


    There was also a huge tournament platform.


    And the last area was empty, except for a yellowish-brown Jade Platform placed at the end.


    "This?" Li Yuan pointed at the four major areas of the hall.


    "Just like when you passed the first trial, you have to go through three stages." The girl smiled at Li Yuan, "The Prime Warrior trial is similarly three stages... As for the last area, it''s the ''recognition of master'' area."


    "As long as you get through the first three stages, the fourth should not be difficult."


    "Remember."


    "You are not allowed to use external forces, such as Origin Power Weapons and the like." The girl spoke very seriously, "You can only use your own strength."


    "Go." The girl said, "Don''t worry about failing... Every Direct Disciple has five chances to attempt; if you fail this time, you can come back next time. The rules left by Master are very humane."


    Five times?


    Li Yuan certainly did not want to repeat the trial. A failure would mean one less opportunity.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped forward and flew straight toward the Spiritual Pillar, approaching within about two hundred meters.


    Boom!


    An invisible force of suppression struck Li Yuan as if struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground with a thud.


    "Can''t fly?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    "Little brother, you just need to withstand the oppression of the Spiritual Pillar and touch it to pass the first stage." The girl watched leisurely from the sky, "Remember, you have ten minutes."


    "Understood."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan took a step and headed straight for the Spiritual Pillar, immediately feeling an astonishing pressure bearing down on him.


    Spiritual oppression.


    "Such strong oppression." Li Yuan''s eyes sharpened. This kind of pressure was much stronger compared to the Spiritual Pillar in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Thump~thump~thump~


    Li Yuan took steps toward the Spiritual Pillar, each step increasing the intensity of the spiritual oppression.


    But Li Yuan was also quickly adapting to the rhythm of this spiritual oppression.


    "Given the increasing rate of spiritual oppression, I fear that even warriors at the Peak of Flying Heaven might not be able to make it to the end," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He believed that if other Prime Warriors were to try, even talents like Lude Nef or Yu Jinghe would find it hard to pass the first stage.


    ...in the void. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Li Yuan''s spiritual power is very strong. Once he gets a little accustomed, passing the first stage within five minutes should not be difficult," Gu You thought to herself.


    The trials left by the immensely powerful Ancient Torch Divine were naturally extremely difficult.


    But soon.


    "Huh?" Gu You suddenly froze because after adapting for about ten seconds, Li Yuan''s figure burst forth, running wildly and reaching the Spiritual Pillar in just four or five seconds.


    He placed a single palm on the Spiritual Pillar.


    "Sis, I''ve touched it," Li Yuan''s voice echoed in the vast hall.


    Silence fell.


    Several seconds later.


    "Not bad." Finally, the voice sounded like music from the void, "Little brother, continue to the second stage... The second stage is very simple. On the stone wall, the right side is blank, while the left has a diagram of the Mysteries of True Intent."


    "You have three hours. As long as you replicate the diagram of the Mysteries of True Intent on the right side completely, you''ll have passed the test," Gu You said.


    "All right."


    Li Yuan left the range of the Spiritual Pillar and quickly flew towards the massive stone wall.


    In the void.


    "This?" Gu You was still somewhat stunned, "Li Yuan''s spiritual power is strong, it seems to be at the level 36, but it shouldn''t be this easy, could it be that his willpower is even stronger than his spiritual power... or is the Spiritual Pillar broken due to age?"


    The girl pondered, just about to go down and test whether the Spiritual Pillar was damaged.


    Suddenly.


    From the second area.


    "Sis, I''ve finished replicating it," Li Yuan''s voice rang out, echoing in the hall again.


    Whoosh!


    The girl could no longer hold back and stepped forward, teleporting across hundreds of meters.


    She arrived beneath the massive stone wall.


    On the previously empty right side of the wall were now surges of Origin Power, forming a complex ''Origin Power Diagram'' that emitted waves of the True Meaning of Earth''s Mystery.


    Although the pattern on the left was slightly different, the emitted True Intent vibrations were almost exactly the same.


    "Little brother, how did you do it?" Gu You couldn''t help herself and asked.


    "Is it that difficult?"

 Chapter 295 Success Achieved! Throwing in Extra Hope (Add More 19)

    Li Yuan truly didn''t find it difficult.The patterns carved on the left side of this stone wall, containing the Earth''s Mysteries, were indeed very profound.


    If it had been right after he first condensed the True Meaning of Earth, he might have taken one or two hours to successfully replicate it.


    But over the past year, although Li Yuan had devoted most of his energy to comprehending the Mystery of Wind, his progress on the True Meaning of Earth had actually been even greater¡­ There was no helping it; his talent in the Earth Vein far surpassed that of the Wind Vein.


    Li Yuan didn''t find it difficult, but his words had somewhat silenced Gu You.


    Not difficult?


    These tests, after all, were designed specifically for Li Yuan by Gu You; according to her calculations, passing the first two stages should be somewhat challenging for Li Yuan, but not so effortless.


    The third stage? It was supposed to be insurmountable.


    But judging by Li Yuan''s current condition, the first two stages posed no difficulty at all, so how could the third stage be challenging?


    "Little brother, how long have you been condensing the True Meaning of Earth? Three months? Half a year?" Gu You suddenly spoke up.


    "One year." Li Yuan answered.


    Gu You was stunned again, questioning her own memory. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    One year? That meant not long after leaving the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had rapidly condensed the True Meaning of Earth from the Fifth Stage High Rank skills?


    What kind of cultivation speed was that?


    "Sister?" Li Yuan also noticed a slight change in Gu You''s emotions.


    His own cultivation speed in the Earth''s Mysteries seemed to be far beyond her expectations.


    After a while.


    "You really are a little monster." Gu You suddenly sighed, her gaze complicated as she looked at Li Yuan: "Little brother, you¡­ indeed exceed the imagination, a true prodigy."


    "In your civilization, you must be considered a top-tier talent."


    "Hmm." Li Yuan nodded.


    If just considering his current age, across the history of the entire Seven Star Civilization, nobody could compare with him.


    Even Principal Fang Hai at the age of 20 wasn''t close to him.


    "This Fierce Feather Star Realm is only in contact with a few planes, the entire domain has only opened up for a hundred years, granting few First Rank beings the opportunity to venture through."


    Gu You spoke with some emotion: "In the past, when Father sought Direct Disciples, countless creatures from many planets would flock, vying for the chance to become disciples¡­ But with so few people, to be able to recruit a prodigy like you."


    "Luck!"


    "It really is luck." Gu You shook her head: "Even compared to those few disciples that Father once cultivated meticulously, you are still somewhat superior."


    Li Yuan smiled unconcernedly.


    Perhaps among the many civilizations in the vast dimensional domains, there might be Prime Warriors stronger than himself because the world is so vast and bound to have some peerless geniuses.


    But speaking solely of cultivation speed, few could probably catch up with him. This was due to both his Comprehension and the aid of many fortuitous encounters provided by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Like this time, although Gu You believed his talent to be extraordinary, she probably didn''t anticipate that within the Seven Star Civilization, there existed an incredible treasure like the ''Martial God Inheritance'' that could greatly enhance his growth over the past year.


    To resonate with a Divine Consciousness? That was a method not even left behind by the Ancient Torch Divine.


    "Fine."


    "Since your talent is so monstrous, then I will increase the difficulty for you." The maiden suddenly smiled sweetly: "The third stage is a combat assessment, I have set your opponent to be even more formidable¡­ You don''t have to win, if you last a hundred seconds against them, you will be deemed victorious."


    "One hundred seconds? Alright!" Li Yuan nodded: "Sister, does that mean I''ve passed the Second Stage?"


    "Of course you have, proceed." There was a hint of expectation in Gu You''s eyes.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan leapt towards the arena of the third area; at first glance, the arena seemed very small, with a maximum diameter not exceeding one hundred meters¡­ But before Li Yuan could raise any questions.


    As soon as he flew into range of the arena.


    He felt an invisible fluctuation envelop him, and immediately his field of vision drastically expanded.


    The arena that was only a hundred meters in length and width quickly enlarged into a massive one with a diameter of over three kilometers¡­ Similarly, in the distant view, the stone walls and Divine Pillars within the hall also seemed much larger than before.


    "It''s not the arena that''s gotten larger, it''s me who''s become smaller." Li Yuan realized this instantly, his heart quite shaken.


    So strange!


    This kind of ability, truly profound.


    "Little brother, don''t be surprised, this is just a rudimentary application of the Space Law, the art of shrinking space!" Gu You''s pleasant voice resonated in Li Yuan''s mind: "Prepare for battle."


    "Remember, if you feel that you can''t win, just concede, and the opponent will immediately stop."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded.


    Hum~


    Their eyes saw dozens of lights converging in the void of the arena, forming several huge numbers out of thin air - 100


    Li Yuan understood immediately; this was probably the countdown.


    Whoosh~


    On the vast arena floor, a tuft of golden mist spontaneously rose, followed by more mist condensing into a human shape, ultimately forming the figure of a Golden Armored Warrior wielding a Long Spear.


    At first glance, he appeared human.


    Even the flesh and skin seemed incredibly real.


    But an Inquiry from Li Yuan''s Divine Palace subconsciously made it clear to him that this Golden Armored Warrior was not a real life form.


    "Young master, long time no see." The Golden Armored Warrior cracked a smile, speaking human language.


    "Are you number one? Or number two?" Li Yuan''s pupils contracted, long time no see?


    He had only seen so few figures in the Hall of Inheritance.


    "I am number one." The Golden Armored Warrior spoke, yet its aura began to subtly change; its smile disappeared, as it solemnly said: "Young master, I am commanded to guard the Third Stage, and I will not hold back. Within the rules set, if young master is not strong enough, death is a possibility, so please gauge your own strength."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had a vague guess that the one fighting him might not be the true body of number one; they resembled ''intelligent puppets,'' possibly having emotions similar to those of real life forms.


    But compared to emotions, they would adhere more to their orders, without showing personal feelings.


    "Kill!"


    The Golden Armored Warrior suddenly let out a roar and instantly turned into a shadow, its speed swiftly soaring past three times the speed of sound, lightning-fast as it lunged towards Li Yuan.


    ```


    Boom! A burst of terrifying, earthy yellow energy streams exploded instantly from the core of the Golden Armored Warrior, directly forming a True Intent Domain.


    The two were less than three kilometers apart.


    In just two seconds, the Golden Armored Warrior had already closed the distance completely.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan sprang into action in a flash, invoking the "Great Earth Divine Body" with a mere thought. His body transformed instantly into a height of five meters, with his combat armor and long spear enlarging swiftly, his entire being exuding a ferocious and robust aura.


    "14th level body refining Star Technique, indeed much stronger than the 10th level," Li Yuan felt the surging powerful strength within him, his fighting spirit soaring!


    The immense strength made Li Yuan''s power burst forth, truly comparable to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Body Refining Star Technique is the foundation of everything.


    Many 30th or 31st level Flying Heaven Warriors, even if they mastered the Fifth Layer Body Refining Star Technique to the Third Rank limit, were only at the 15th level Star Technique, which could continue to suppress Li Yuan in basic strength... But what if they had not cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique? Many Flying Heaven Warriors in pure strength, were not even a match for Li Yuan now.


    By cultivating the Seventh Layer Star Technique to the current maximum, the gap in the foundation had been greatly closed, making it easier for Li Yuan to fight across ranks.


    Swish! Li Yuan''s True Intent Domain was a thought domain.


    "Rumble~"


    As the two gigantic domains collided, Li Yuan''s True Intent Domain instantly showed signs of crumbling. Immediately after, the two long spears clashed in the void, each release a burst of the True Meaning of Earth.


    A head-on collision.


    Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"... More than a dozen lightning-fast clashes.


    The terrifying power contained within the Golden Armored Warrior''s Spear Technique, transmitted through the long spear, overwhelmed Li Yuan, forcing him to retreat step by step, with the last strike sending him flying backwards.


    He crashed heavily to the ground.


    "Such exquisite control of power! The force drawn from nature is so refined, definitely a middle Sixth Stage standard," Li Yuan could already sense the gap between them.


    In terms of power alone, Li Yuan augmented with Source Technique was more terrifying, especially surpassing the Golden Armored Warrior.


    But in terms of skill.


    Li Yuan, utilizing only the Mystery of Earth with his Spear Technique, revealed a significant gap in the level of their spear skills.


    "Only six seconds have passed," Li Yuan glanced at the countdown digits in the void above.


    "If I persist in just using the True Meaning of Earth Spear Technique, focusing on defense, it wouldn''t be difficult to endure a hundred seconds," Li Yuan thought, "Let''s try a little more, experience it further, then quickly end the battle."


    A middle Sixth Stage skill is already a very high standard, and the majority of Flying Heaven Peak warriors are around this level.


    Li Yuan still wanted to spar a bit more.


    "Boom!"


    A terrifying spear shadow mercilessly slashed, like a meteor falling from the sky, Li Yuan''s form shifted, fluttering like a breeze, easily dodging the blow.


    The Mysteries of the True Meaning of Wind! Li Yuan had unleashed it.


    ...


    In the void.


    "Hmm?" Gu You, who had been leisurely watching the battle, flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes, "The Mystery of Wind? To execute a movement technique instantly to such an extent, it must be at least Fifth Stage Perfection."


    "This?"


    "Li Yuan has actually cultivated both veins?" Gu You found it somewhat incredible.


    Initially, she hadn''t even noticed any talent from Li Yuan in the Wind Vein.


    And such a drastic change in just over a year?


    It was beyond her expectations.


    "The movement technique, greatly strengthened in an instant." The young girl sighed inwardly, "With this, it will be almost too easy for Li Yuan to hold out for a hundred seconds."


    She had to admit she had underestimated Li Yuan.


    Just over ten seconds later.


    "What?" The young girl was utterly shocked, her pupils contracted, fixated on the stage below.


    Li Yuan, who had fiercely battled with the Golden Armored Warrior for hundreds of moves, suddenly changed his tactics.


    Boom!


    Centered on Li Yuan, bursts of earthy yellow energy surged again, this time with an abundance of greenish flows intermixed. The previously collapsing True Intent Domain reformed with even greater might... It quickly dominated the battlefield.


    Most importantly.


    Within this powerful True Intent Domain, the one Li Yuan suddenly multiplied into five.


    "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"... All five Li Yuans moved simultaneously, their shapes flickering, making it impossible to discern which was real and which was a phantom.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Overwhelming spear lights completely erupted, at least five spear shadows bearing down, unpredictable and much more powerful than before - by more than tenfold?


    If Li Yuan''s combat power was 100 before.


    Then, with the full eruption now, combining two True Intents, his combat power unquestionably exceeded 1000.


    The combination of two Mysteries of True Intent is a qualitative change.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" Under the onslaught of sweeping long spears, the Golden Armored Warrior remained eerily calm, struggling to wield his long spear, attempting to block Li Yuan''s attacks.


    Suddenly.


    "Spurt~" A long spear unexpectedly thrust from the current, striking strangely. The Golden Armored Warrior couldn''t evade in time, his throat was pierced, creating a bloody hole.


    He staggered backwards immediately.


    The Golden Armored Warrior, being a simulation of real life, naturally suffered a fatal wound.


    Whoosh!


    Another spear swept by, decapitating the Golden Armored Warrior, who couldn''t stand any longer and fell with a thud.


    Dead!


    "Sister, it took 21 seconds," Li Yuan''s voice rang out, and right after, he transformed into a beam of light and flew up to the high sky, next to the girl in white.


    Gu You, watching Li Yuan intently.


    Suddenly, the girl laughed.


    "Sister, did I pass?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "You passed, the gatekeeper is defeated, you naturally passed," Gu You''s eyes flickered with a hint of tears, and then she could barely hold back her laughter, "Haha, father, I finally see hope."


    ```

 Chapter 296 Refinement! The Situation in Mingxu (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Looking at Gu You who was somewhat discomposed, crying and laughing before him,Li Yuan didn''t know what to do for a moment.


    In his memory, Gu You had always been calm and in control of everything.


    This had never happened before.


    "Hope?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "Gu You, has he come to regard me as hope?"


    Li Yuan didn''t speak, just stood quietly to the side.


    He knew well that since the Ancient Torch Divine had left an inheritance, it likely had some request, only it had not been disclosed to him before.


    Moreover, since he was named a Direct Disciple and had received many favors, then if possible in the future, fulfilling the other party''s last wish was also proper.


    After a long time.


    "Brother, I apologize, I was a bit out of sorts just now." The girl suddenly shook her head, her demeanor and poise quickly returning to normal.


    No signs of her previous discomposure could be discerned anymore.


    Gu You didn''t explain, and Li Yuan didn''t inquire about what that ''hope'' was.


    "I really can''t figure out how you''ve cultivated," Gu You looked at Li Yuan.


    "In just over a year, you''ve gone from the Fifth Stage High Rank Skill Realm of The Mystery of Earth to the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind."


    "For so-called geniuses, it would be remarkable to grasp a single True Intent in such a short time, but not only have you comprehended two True Intents, but they are also nearly perfectly combined¡­ In the thousands of years my father ruled over a vast number of planets, there has never been a freak like you." The girl''s eyes were filled with excitement, joy, and confusion, "Could it be that you''ve had another great fortune in this past year?"


    Li Yuan was stunned and didn''t know where to start.


    Guidance from Teacher Lie Feng for a whole year was important but not unique.


    Over the past year, if he had to speak of fortunes, it was the Divine Spirit Liquid, along with two Martial God Inheritances.


    For the average genius of typical civilizations,


    it indeed wouldn''t be possible to obtain these.


    The persistent cultivation of the Visualization Method made his spiritual power increase rapidly, which was also a significant aid.


    "Sister, I''ve passed the trial, haven''t I?" Li Yuan changed the subject directly.


    "This Gatekeeper was augmented by me; as long as you held your ground, it would have sufficed, but you went as far as directly defeating it." The girl didn''t continue to question him, instead she took up the conversation, "Naturally, you have passed, and extraordinarily well beyond common reasoning."


    "You now qualify to initially claim ownership of the Hall of Inheritance." The girl said, "Come with me."


    Whoosh!


    Gu You soared toward the far end of the hall.


    Li Yuan quickly followed, anticipation stirring in his heart.


    Initial claim of the Hall of Inheritance? According to Gu You, once he made the initial claim, he would be able to carry the entire Hall of Inheritance with him.


    Not to mention anything else, just his ability to protect himself would greatly increase.


    The two rapidly arrived in front of the unremarkable, earthy-yellow Jade Platform.


    "Brother, as long as you refine it, it''s akin to controlling the foundational key of the Hall of Inheritance," Gu You pointed at the earthy-yellow Jade Platform, "You would be able to barely manipulate it to enlarge or shrink the entire Hall of Inheritance, and you could carry it away from the Star Realm."


    "At that time, the treasure from passing the second challenge will also be directly bestowed upon you."


    "Some of the secret locations within the Hall of Inheritance will also be within your right to know a bit about, and you can enter at any time." The girl looked at Li Yuan.


    A bit of knowledge?


    Li Yuan muttered inwardly, it seemed that even with an initial claim, he wouldn''t be able to control the entire Hall of Inheritance, which was only natural... according to the commands left by the Ancient Torch Divine, he probably had to become a Divine to fully control the Hall of Inheritance.


    "Sit on it," she said.


    "Refining the core of the Hall of Inheritance is not easy, usually only a powerful Flying Heaven Warrior can do it." The girl cautioned, "Your Skill Realm is only relatively high among Prime Warriors, but refining it... will likely take a very long time."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded.


    Whoosh!

    In one step, Li Yuan crossed dozens of meters of void and gently sat cross-legged on the earthy-yellow Jade Platform.


    Just as he sat down.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept over him, akin to climbing halfway up a mountain feeling extremely hot and irritable, then suddenly drinking a sip of ice-cold cola, his whole soul trembled with refreshing delight indescribable in words.


    Instantly, Li Yuan''s heart became extremely calm and clear, all previous distracting thoughts dissipating.


    "This Jade Platform is definitely a rare and precious object," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Hum~ Hum~


    As Li Yuan sat down, large quantities of strange Secret Runes faintly emerged around the earthy-yellow Jade Platform, with a stream of radiance flowing along their surfaces. The radiance passed from layer to layer, as if waves from all directions crashing towards a central island.


    "Boom!" Sitting on the Jade Platform, Li Yuan instantly felt a tremor in his spirit, followed by a guiding invisible force... Numerous fluctuating images came to him.


    Palaces, corridors... the entirety of the Hall of Inheritance seemed to be reflected in his heart, accompanied by an unprecedented pressure that made his heart tremble.


    Enduring this for a long time, his heart might completely shatter under the assault.


    "Hold true to your heart."


    "Now, you just need to follow the sensation, focus on understanding one of the fluctuations, ignore the rest, then imprint your Spiritual Mark on the main hall, and you can complete the initial claim," Gu You''s timely voice echoed, "Don''t always think about achieving everything all at once, your strength isn''t strong enough yet."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan immediately concentrated his spirit, only focusing on refining one of the fluctuation''s Mysteries, which was incredibly complex.


    With his current realm and Soul Power, grasping and refining it was extremely slow.


    Time passed. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the void.


    "Finally, the true beginning of the claim," the girl in white watched the young man sitting quietly on the Jade Platform.


    She could feel that she was losing a little control over the Hall of Inheritance.


    But her heart felt not a trace of loss, instead, there was joy and excitement, and a tear glistened in her eye: "Father, he will surely make it! Hope has finally appeared!"

 Chapter 296 Refinement! The Situation in Mingxu (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    ```"Back then, you came from beyond our realm, yet you failed to achieve success,"


    "Li Yuan is different. He is a native life form, and his talent is so exceptional and terrifying. With my help, he is definitely going to succeed," the girl in white murmured in her heart.


    In those days,


    Ancient Torch Divine led many powerful followers to descend, waging war across numerous planes to achieve the goals in his heart, battling with many divines... He had anticipated the difficulties of this journey early on and left behind many precautions.


    Like the Hall of Inheritance, for instance.


    True Phoenix Divine, being one of the most trusted followers of Ancient Torch Divine and possessing extremely strong survival capabilities, was also one of these precautions.


    Everything went as Ancient Torch Divine had anticipated...


    After eons had passed, all that had happened had long since dissipated into dust; this vast and boundless Dimensional Domain had settled into tranquility.


    "I had thought that hope was exceedingly slim."


    "But who could have anticipated!"


    "Father, I could actually find here a genius whose talent far surpasses yours," the girl silently said, "Perhaps even the heavens are aiding us in this endeavor."


    She patiently awaited Li Yuan''s recognition of lordship.


    ...


    As days went by, while Li Yuan was in the World within Worlds'' Hall of Inheritance, continuously attempting refinement and to leave behind a Spiritual Imprint,


    Feixing, headquarters of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    "There are records of Li Yuan entering the Fierce Feather Star Realm, but no records of him entering the World within Worlds?" the San Ye Semi Divine, wearing a cold mask, received the news from the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    "Now, we have lost track of Li Yuan, with his communicator completely out of contact?"


    "The chambers of the World within Worlds, the stationed martial artists withdrew three days ago, and up until now, no one has entered again?" San Ye Semi Divine was alarmed.


    Something seemed rather eerie.


    Without further hesitation, San Ye Semi Divine immediately activated various secret means, trying to contact Li Yuan... but all to no avail.


    "Fierce Feather Star Realm, being just a Second Level Star Realm, where the permanently residing Flying Heaven Warriors are simply common ones. With Li Yuan''s strength, he should not have been threatened by anyone," San Ye Semi Divine thought, "Moreover, even if a battle of Flying Heaven Level were to erupt, Li Yuan should at least have some capacity to fight back."


    "But there''s no trace of him at all."


    "Could it be that Li Yuan has another method of entering the World within Worlds? Then he might have gone into some secret place within and has temporarily avoided the chambers?" San Ye Semi Divine speculated reasonably.


    In fact, her speculations were very close to the truth.


    After a long contemplation,


    "In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, within the World within Worlds, attempt to contact Li Yuan continuously for 24 hours." San Ye Semi Divine gave the order, "Also, keep the chamber vacant; no one is allowed to enter."


    "Understood."


    ...


    August 16, 2045.


    Mingxu Star Realm.


    After over a year of construction, the previously visited outpost base number three by Li Yuan had expanded nearly a hundredfold and had come to resemble a mid-sized city. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    There weren''t many residential areas, but a multitude of factories were operational, countless unmanned aerial vehicles patrolled.


    Many towering weapon towers stood erect, highly vigilant.


    Scores of high-speed railways stretched deep into the earth, trains crossed, bringing in vast amounts of mineral resources, while simultaneously, numerous martial artists and Mechanical Legions rode the trains deeper into the star realm.


    Today,


    Over base number three, within a hovering super-large warship with a diameter stretching over two hundred meters,


    Within a large conference room in its interior, many gathered here, each emanating formidable auras.


    ```


    If Li Yuan had been here, he would have recognized several figures at a glance, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, An Yongya.


    Many of the top-tier talents from Seven Star Mountain had already gathered in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    "All preparations for the general offensive have been completed, all Mechanical Legions and Martial Artists are in position, the aerial troops can also be dispatched at any moment..." a red-robed Flying Heaven Warrior whispered, "Old Yu, should we move out?"


    "Let''s start the preparations, we can reach there within two hours," Yu Jinghe whispered back, "This battle is bound to be brutal, but leave the enemy''s Flying Heaven-level forces for us to handle."


    After multiple major battles over the past year,


    In field warfare, the Seven Star Civilization had gained an absolute advantage, and now they were about to launch a general offensive against the ''Tianliang Civilization Base'' two thousand kilometers away, aiming to completely destroy it.


    Once the base is destroyed and the entrance to the Star Realm is blocked, it will be difficult for the Tianliang Civilization to launch a counterattack and regain a foothold.


    Although like the Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Clan controls four major bases in the Mingxu Star Realm and two portals, with two major bases built around them,


    the destruction of one means the loss of a strategic support point, and the situation will quickly deteriorate.


    "According to our intelligence, there are still quite a number of talented warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors hidden within the Tianliang Civilization Base," said the red-robed Flying Heaven Warrior, unable to help himself, "Even the Myriad Demons Civilization might send talents. Should we request support from above and ask the Spirit Gun to come before the general offensive?"


    For a moment, the meeting room went quiet.


    The Spirit Gun? Although they were all fighting in the Mingxu Star Realm, they were also aware of the grand battle taking place in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    The name "Spirit Gun" resonated like thunder.


    "Rest assured, gentlemen, I am not one of those pedantic people who worry about the Spirit Gun taking our so-called credit,"


    "In fact, I have already requested the higher-ups and Semi-Divines, hoping that the Spirit Gun would come to the battle," Yu Jinghe shook his head, "But the Semi-Divines replied... The Spirit Gun is currently undergoing important cultivation, and unless absolutely necessary, he will not come."


    "Lude Nef is the same, he too is at a critical junction in his cultivation."


    Everyone nodded slightly.


    Over time, they had all come to greatly admire Yu Jinghe, who was a genuinely selfless leader.


    "Drip~" Suddenly, a figure flickered on a distant projection screen,


    The figure seemed to be flying at high speed, frantically roaring, "Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"


    "Tavares, what happened?" Yu Jinghe asked urgently.


    "I''ve discovered important clues to a relic, possibly one of the entrances, on the eastern side of area ''67'' on the outskirts of Ming Mountain," Tavares said hastily, "But there, a large group of local Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts are guarding it!!"


    "As soon as we approached, they detected us and immediately pursued us."


    "Rao Dao is dead."


    "I am trying to escape, requesting support! Support!" Tavares''s face showed a hint of madness.


    The color drained from everyone''s faces.


    Rao Dao, a Flying Heaven Warrior from Xia Country, had been in the Mingxu Star Realm for less than half a year, and he had died?


    "Postpone the general offensive plan, delay it indefinitely."


    "Leave the Flying Heaven-level forces to guard, the rest will follow me," Yu Jinghe said gravely.


    Yu Jinghe turned and left.


    Soon after, a large group of Flying Heaven-level forces transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, rushing towards the direction of area 67.

    World within Worlds, Hall of Inheritance, within that mysterious hall,


    "Boom~" The entire hall trembled faintly, as Gu You waited with a smile on her face.


    She knew, Li Yuan had begun to make headway in the Refinement process.


    "The Hall of Inheritance? So that''s it!" Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform, slowly opened his eyes.

 Chapter 297 The Gift of Treasures! Wondrous Uses of the Divine Artifact (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    After the initial refinement of the Hall of Inheritance, Li Yuan truly felt its magical essence and could vaguely sense each area within the divine hall.Of course, many places were very blurry to him, and he couldn''t perceive them at all. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was clear that what he controlled now was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Hall of Inheritance.


    "Having refined the central hub of the main hall, I can barely sense the entirety of the Hall of Inheritance," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But if I want to activate it?"


    When Li Yuan induced the origin of the Hall of Inheritance, trying to activate it even slightly, it felt as though he was trying to lift a massive mountain, an incredibly daunting task!


    He couldn''t activate it at all.


    "Stop trying to activate it."


    A voice like that of the heavens came from Gu You next to him, "You''ve just begun to refine the core and haven''t grasped its mysteries yet. The entire Hall of Inheritance is an extremely powerful divine artifact... To truly manipulate the whole Hall of Inheritance, you may have a glimmer of hope when you become a demigod."


    "A divine artifact? And an extremely powerful one at that?" Li Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of shock in his gaze.


    Divine artifacts!


    Li Yuan naturally knew that by definition, these were the weapons used by the divine.


    Just like when Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji said he could get his hands on a divine artifact long spear, it shocked Li Yuan considerably.


    Every divine artifact holds immense power, but they also come with great difficulty in their use.


    According to Gu You, this Hall of Inheritance was among the strongest of divine artifacts.


    "Sister," Li Yuan stood up.


    With a single step, he came to Gu You''s side.


    "If it''s a divine artifact, how could I refine it?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    Many semi divine artifacts were beyond his ability to refine now.


    "It was deliberately set up by our father when he first made the Hall of Inheritance. You''ve only just begun to refine it, and most of it is controlled by me," Gu You said with a smile, "As time goes by, and as you pass the next three challenges, your control over the Hall of Inheritance will naturally strengthen until you perfectly master it."


    "Like right now, you''re the nominal owner of the Hall of Inheritance, but you can''t even sense my presence."


    Li Yuan nodded, not only unable to sense Gu You.


    Just like No.1, No.2, and No.3, who he had sparred with before, he couldn''t sense where they were at all.


    "Alright."


    "Now that you have initially refined the Hall of Inheritance, it''s time to grant you the second treasure," the girl said, "and, while we''re at it, I''ll introduce you to the many wonderful uses of the Hall of Inheritance."


    "First of all, this hall where we are now is called the ''Hundred Battles Chamber.'' Its main feature is the arena below," the girl pointed below and continued, "It is known as the ''Hundred Battles Arena.''


    Li Yuan looked down below.


    "You''ve tried it during your trials in the last few days," Gu You said with a smile, "Now if you try it again, you can choose your opponents at will, set their strength, choose group battles, or even simulated sieges."


    Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire


    "You can set up to a hundred opponents."


    "The strongest opponent you can set is at level 36, and their skill set to True Intent Perfection," Gu You explained, "It''s essentially a live combat training ground."


    "Those opponents are all controlled just like No.1."


    Li Yuan''s eyes lit up; he immediately felt the impressiveness of the Hundred Battles Arena.


    Compared with the Seven Star Mountain, the strength of the combat training robots there was limited, and there was only one; they were not much use to him anymore. He had rarely used combat training robots during his cultivation on Seven Star Mountain.


    In contrast, this Hundred Battles Arena was much stronger.


    It would allow him to fully exert himself and try out numerous techniques.


    "That jade platform is not only the control center but is also known as the Meditation Platform. It can quickly still your mind when you are restless," Gu You said, "In a sense, it can assist in enlightenment."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had experienced the power of the jade platform in the past few days.


    "Follow me."


    Gu You turned and flew out of the Hundred Battles Chamber, and Li Yuan hurriedly followed. The two walked along the vast corridor.


    They arrived outside another dusty hall. As the doors slowly opened, the inside was bathed in light.


    Whoosh!


    The intense flow of divine crystal energy that hit him made Li Yuan feel refreshingly invigorated.


    Such rich divine crystal energy.


    "What is this?" Li Yuan asked, holding his breath.


    "This is the ''Divine Crystal Chamber,''" Gu You spoke softly, "Essentially, it''s an upgraded version of the ''stone chamber'' found deep within the vein of the grotto-heaven."


    Li Yuan listened thoughtfully.


    "The so-called divine crystal energy is a higher-level and more powerful form of Origin Power," Gu You said, "So, when a large number of divine crystals gather and gradually diffuse, they can form a large Origin Stone vein... Like the divine beings refining Cosmic Origin Power, the Divine Origin Power formed in their bodies can be directly transformed into divine crystals."


    "In the vast world where our father resided, divine crystals are a common currency."


    "They have many uses, whether for the cultivation of Star Techniques, Origin Power cultivation, recovery from injuries, and so on ¨C all can make use of it."


    "To activate some powerful Origin Power Weapons, advanced Cosmic Warships, formidable puppets, and so on, divine crystals are used, making them a hard currency in the River of Dimensions."


    Li Yuan''s understanding of divine crystals became clearer.


    "The Hall of Inheritance is engraved with a powerful Origin Power Array, which slowly absorbs external Origin Power and stores it in the energy storage room. Having remained in the Fierce Feather Star Realm for a long period, the energy storage room has already reached its limit over the long years," Gu You explained, "And the Divine Crystal Chamber is connected to the storage room."


    "In the future, once you reach the Flying Heaven Level,"


    "To accelerate the improvement of your physical quality and the cultivation of Star Techniques, among other things, you can come to the ''Divine Crystal Chamber,'' which is equivalent to being supplied with Five Elements Divine Crystals for free," Gu You said with a smile, "However, the efficiency of cultivation is much lower than using divine crystals directly."


    Li Yuan was in awe.


    Such luxury!


    Five Elements Divine Crystals are incredibly precious. Within the Seven Star Civilization, they must be exchanged for a large number of Seven Stars Points.

 Chapter 297 The Gift of Treasures! Wondrous Uses of the Divine Artifact (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    But in this Hall of Inheritance, it was completely free of charge."Sis, using it like this, the energy in the storage chamber will be used up, right?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but say.


    "Of course, it will," Gu You nodded, "In the past, it was always our father who used a tremendous amount of divine power to fill it up until the storage chamber reached its limit. The Hall of Inheritance itself absorbs Origin Power, but actually, it does so very slowly... but you''re too weak."


    Too weak? He was taken aback.


    "The little bit you consumed doesn''t count for much," Gu You shook her head, "It should be enough for you to use slowly, until you reach the Semi Divine Level."


    "Understood," Li Yuan was relieved.


    Semi Divine Level? That was still a long way off.


    He was only at level 29.9. Realistically, it would probably take many years for him to step into the Semi Divine Level.


    "For you, for now, the Hall of Inheritance mainly has these few uses," Gu You said, "Like assisting with the training of treasures... which I''ve already given you last time."


    "Of course, the greatest use of the entire Hall of Inheritance is to save one''s life."


    "Carry it with you, and with just a little time, you can enter the Hall of Inheritance in the blink of an eye," Gu You slowly said, "The Hall of Inheritance is indestructible, not even a Semigod can forcefully destroy it."


    "However, entering the Hall of Inheritance, even at its fastest, still requires a bit of time... In case of a surprise attack, you won''t be able to react in time," Gu You said.


    "Secondly, once your true body returns to the Hall of Inheritance, it will be exposed to the outside world. Although the Hall of Inheritance can turn into a grain of dust, a Semigod, upon close examination... can sense the presence of the Hall of Inheritance."


    "Therefore, even if you have the Hall of Inheritance, don''t feel invincible; you still need to be careful. It''s best not to expose the Hall of Inheritance if possible."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    Carrying the Hall of Inheritance was merely to increase his chances of survival, not to make him invincible.


    "Additionally, little brother, if you enter those Exterior Dimensional Star Realms, the Hall of Inheritance won''t follow you in," the girl looked seriously at Li Yuan, "This is an order left by our father."


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Exterior Dimensional Star Realms?


    "Star Realms are divided into two types."


    "One type is the Interior Dimensional Star Realm, which is born within a certain dimensional plane. There''s no harm in entering it," the girl said.


    "Exterior Dimensional Star Realms, however, are born from the collision of different dimensional planes, protected by the rules of the universe... If you enter with it, once you die, the Hall of Inheritance will be directly suppressed by the origin forces of the Star Realm, and once again become trapped," the girl said.


    Li Yuan had understood. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Like the Fierce Feather Star Realm, it belongs to an ''Exterior Dimensional Star Realm'', and the Hall of Inheritance was trapped here... until he became the successor, which gave hope of freedom.


    Having escaped with great difficulty, Gu You naturally did not want to be trapped again.


    If it wasn''t trapped in the Star Realm, once he died.


    Without any bindings, Gu You could fully control the Hall of Inheritance and select a suitable successor from countless lives.


    ...


    Before long, the two passed through the corridor and returned to the main hall.


    "Little brother, I''ve told you the uses of the Hall of Inheritance," Gu You said, "Now I will also gift you some treasures."


    Whoosh!


    With a light wave of her hand, numerous items hovered in mid-air, radiating countless auras of spirituality that made Li Yuan''s eyes instantly light up.


    "So many Divine Crystals?" Li Yuan gasped.


    The most eye-catching was the small pile of Earth Origin Crystals.


    "First of all, is the Storage Treasure." Gu You flicked her finger and a tiny silver light flew to Li Yuan''s front.


    With a thought from Li Yuan, his Divine Sense enveloped the Storage Treasure, which was ownerless and had no Spiritual Imprints.


    A deeper sensation soon left Li Yuan astonished: "It''s huge!"


    "This Storage Magical Treasure is ten meters in length, width, and height, and counts as a Semi Divine Level Storage Magical Treasure," Gu You said softly, "In your Seven Star Civilization, it should be considered top-tier, convenient for your daily needs."


    Semi Divine Level?


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Such a level of Storage Treasure simply wasn''t sold within the Seven Star Civilization.


    At least, he had never seen one.


    "Next are these Earth Origin Crystals, a total of two cubic meters," Gu You pointed at the pile of Divine Crystals that stacked like a small mountain, "They''ll help you trade with other forces or powerhouses for other necessary treasures."


    "These Divine Crystals added up, actually give hope of exchanging for a Pseudo Divine Artifact," the girl said indifferently, as if she didn''t care at all.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, held his breath completely.


    Divine Crystals, measured by ''square''?


    You must know that he usually counted them by ''chunk''.


    In the Seven-Star Treasure Vault, if you wish to exchange for a square of Divine Crystal, it would cost about 100,000 Seven Stars Points.


    These two squares of Earth Origin Crystals would be equivalent to 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    Moreover, as far as Li Yuan knew, in the Seven-Star Treasure Vault, whether it was Flying Heaven Level or Demigod, there was a limit to the Divine Crystals one could exchange for... they wouldn''t exchange if you had too many.


    You should know, a normal Semi Divine Artifact would only be valued at 10,000 Seven Stars Points. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Lastly, it is a set of Semi Divine Level Battle Garment," Gu You said as she waved her hand again.


    In the void, instantly appeared an exquisitely lifelike set of black Battle Garment, complete with a helmet, Combat Armor, arm guards, battle boots, and so on, with the whole set emanating an invisible majestic pressure.


    Li Yuan could faintly feel the pressure himself.


    He felt that this set of Battle Garment was different from the normal Semi Divine Level Battle Garment.


    "This set of Semi Divine Level Battle Garment, along with the Long Spear I gave you last time, are actually part of the same set, both specifically forged by Father," the girl whispered, "A normal Semi Divine Level weapon cannot even be used by a Prime Warrior, you need to be at the peak of the Flying Heaven Level at least."


    "It must be specially made so that you can exert some of its power... the protective effect is also far superior to those Third Rank armors."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement, recalling how, when he previously fought with other Flying Heaven Level martial artists, they mostly used Third Rank weapons.


    Weapons and treasures are also a part of one''s strength.


    "Prime Warriors struggle even to fly and tunnel through the earth, many natural perilous places could easily claim your life," the girl looked at Li Yuan, "With this set of Semi Divine Level Battle Garment, along with your training in Body Refining Star Technique... plus your Shadow Clone technique."


    "At least, when facing Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, you have a fair chance of protecting yourself."


    Li Yuan nodded earnestly, this set of Battle Garment might not be as valuable as a Divine Artifact.


    But for him at present, it was even better than a Divine Artifact, since, after all, he couldn''t use the Divine Artifact yet.


    "That''s all the treasures," the girl looked at Li Yuan, "Still, the path to cultivation is one you must walk on your own, I hope you''ll not slack off, I won''t inquire too much into your daily training."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    Whether it was Gu You, Dongfang Ji, or the headmaster Fang Hai, they actually seldom inquired into the details of his cultivation.


    If one doesn''t have the motivation to practice diligently, no one can help.


    Cultivation is a matter for oneself.


    "Sister, what are the requirements for the third trial of the Flying Heaven Level?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "It''s not difficult," the girl glanced at Li Yuan and smiled, "When your strength is comparable to a Demigod, it should be enough."


    Hum~


    The white-robed girl had already vanished, leaving Li Yuan alone in the main hall, in a daze.


    "Comparable to a Demigod?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ...


    Li Yuan did not rush to leave the Hall of Inheritance, but went straight into the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    "The Divine Crystal Energy is indeed more concentrated than that in the ore vein chamber," Li Yuan silently practiced the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein," striving to push it to the Second Order Limit.


    ...


    Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and it was August 29th.


    In Seven Star Mountain, within Lin Lanyue''s villa estate.


    Suddenly.


    Lin Lanyue, who was in quiet cultivation, received a communication.


    "San Ye Semi Divine," Lin Lanyue said with great respect.


    "There is an urgent matter that I need your help with," San Ye Semi Divine said solemnly.


    "What is it?"


    "Go to Fierce Feather Star Realm, and get in touch with Li Yuan!"

 Chapter 298 Strength Transformation! Return (Extra 20)

    "Contact Li Yuan?" Lin Lanyue''s face showed a hint of anxiety, her heart filled with concern, "Can''t get in touch with him? What''s happened to him?""Don''t worry."


    "It''s not that he''s in danger," San Ye Semi Divine said, "Half a month ago, Li Yuan sent a message, applying to use..."


    San Ye Semi Divine quickly detailed the sequence of events and the full situation to Lin Lanyue.


    "In fact, ten days ago he sent a message saying that he was in seclusion within ''World within Worlds'', and that there was no longer any need for the stone chamber, allowing us to arrange for others to enter as we saw fit." San Ye Semi Divine continued, "But since then, we still haven''t been able to contact him..."


    Hearing this, Lin Lanyue''s hanging heart was put at ease, already understanding the reason.


    Li Yuan was in ''World within Worlds'', but out of contact.


    Then, the likelihood was that he had returned to the Hall of Inheritance.


    "San Ye Semi Divine, is there something important that requires contacting him urgently?" Lin Lanyue asked directly.


    In Lin Lanyue''s view, since Li Yuan had returned to the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance Hall, it must be for an important matter.


    Why the rush to find him?


    "It''s not that we are in a hurry, it''s just that the war in Mingxu Star Realm has reached a critical juncture, and his participation is needed," San Ye Semi Divine said to Lin Lanyue, not exerting the pressure of a Semi Divine, but rather treating her almost as an equal.


    San Ye Semi Divine was aware of Lin Lanyue''s circumstances.


    Her strength and talent didn''t seem too dazzling, even less so than same-age peers like Tian Dazhuang and Dantai Feng, but the powerful bloodline she carried within her meant her future potential was almost that of a Semi Divine.


    Furthermore, Lin Lanyue was a disciple of a Divine Being.


    For various reasons, Lin Lanyue''s actual status was extremely high, just like Li Yuan... Her real situation was kept secret, known only to a few Semi Divines, and almost no one else.


    "Mingxu Star Realm wants Li Yuan to participate in the war?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help but say, "Even Yu Jinghe can only struggle to hold on in the battle, can Li Yuan really turn the tide if he goes?"


    The direness of the war in Mingxu Star Realm had long spread throughout Martial Divine Star Realm, and naturally, Lin Lanyue was aware of it.


    "Lanyue."


    "You just need to return to ''World within Worlds'' and tell Li Yuan the situation... he will naturally understand," San Ye Semi Divine was not willing to reveal too much: "The sooner, the better." S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Okay," Lin Lanyue answered, though with some hesitation in her heart, she ultimately agreed.


    She was also worried about Xia Country in her heart.


    In the war of Mingxu Star Realm, Xia Country was the one facing the brunt and paying the greatest price.


    After cutting the communication.


    "The war in Mingxu Star Realm is so perilous, I''ve heard that a whole batch of Flying Heaven Warriors have died, and several top talents from Seven Star Mountain have fallen," Lin Lanyue thought to herself, "But according to San Ye Semi Divine, once Li Yuan arrives, he would be able to lift the siege?"


    "Has Li Yuan become that strong?"


    Suddenly, Lin Lanyue thought of a possibility, and a flash of shock crossed her bright eyes: "Could it be?"


    "Li Yuan is the Spirit Gun?"


    Within the entire Seven Star Civilization, if there was someone who still had hopes of reversing the situation in the battle of Mingxu Star Realm, Lin Lanyue could only think of Spirit Gun.


    ...


    In ''World within Worlds,'' within the Hall of Inheritance''s Hundred Battles Arena.


    Hundred Battles Arena.


    From the outside, the entire Hundred Battles Arena was not more than a hundred meters in length and width.


    But being inside, it was quite vast, with a minimum diameter of three kilometers, and the maximum range could reach up to ten kilometers, which involved the use of Space Law in a very profound way.


    Today.


    Li Yuan, like the past few days, was once again in the Hundred Battles Arena, sparring and fighting against many Golden Armored Warriors.


    He set all his opponents to level 30, with skills and enlightenment set to the Sixth Stage.


    A total of twenty Golden Armored Warriors.


    Boom! The battle was fierce beyond compare.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A total of six Li Yuans, each being five meters tall, turned into streaks of light weaving and flickering within the multiple layers of Earth''s aura.


    Each one moved at extreme speed.


    "Kill!"


    "Stop him." Those Golden Armored Warriors, too, were extremely fierce in their speed and ferocious in their attacks, repeatedly trying to team up and land a hit on Li Yuan, but were easily dodged by his shimmering Phantom Body.


    The domains activated by these Golden Armored Warriors did not belong to one another and instead, were completely suppressed by Li Yuan''s domain.

    At the same time.


    "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" Streaks of enigmatic and ruthlessly fierce Spear Light swept across the Vast Sky, possessing both speed and attacking power, easily piercing through the vital spots of the Golden Armored Warriors'' bodies.


    One by one they fell.


    Like a leisurely walk in the park, in just a few minutes, all twenty ''ordinary Flying Heaven'' Golden Armored Warriors had been slain by Li Yuan.


    It was a completely one-sided battle.


    The entire arena returned to calm, hiss~ countless golden mists rose, again forming the shape of a Golden Armored Warrior without any weapons.


    "Congratulations, young master, your strength has progressed compared to yesterday," the Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile, "You probably have broken through to the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage in the True Meaning of Earth."


    "Number One, your perceptive abilities are indeed extraordinary," Li Yuan replied with a smile, as he stowed his Long Spear.


    During his time in the Hall of Inheritance.


    At first, Li Yuan had been in Concealed Cultivation within the Divine Crystal Chamber, and after ten-plus days with a massive influx of Earth Origin Crystal Energy, he had finally succeeded in advancing the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' to the Second Order Limit.


    The Earth Origin Crystals consumed had also exceeded Li Yuan''s initial expectations.


    If one were to cultivate using Earth Origin Crystals, probably two whole pieces would be necessary, which meant using Earth Origin Crystals worth 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    Luckily!


    The Divine Crystal Chamber was free to use, although the efficiency of cultivation was much lower, but Li Yuan didn''t mind spending a little extra time.


    After cultivating the ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' to the pinnacle of the Second Order, and when running his Star Meridian, Li Yuan noticed the potency of having trained the Supreme Star Technique to the Second Order Limit... it improved his sensitivity to the fluctuations of earth''s Mystery within the world by a significant margin.


    Many of the previous confusions in Spear Technique were almost effortlessly resolved when Li Yuan re-contemplated and reflected on them.

 Chapter 298 Strength Transformation! Return (Extra 20)_2

    ```Constant breakthroughs.


    It''s worth noting that at the beginning of July, when bidding farewell to Lie Feng Semi Divine and returning to Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan felt he was not far from making a breakthrough with the True Meaning of Earth.


    In the past two months, he had been working hard on his cultivation.


    The transformation of his Star Technique today! It finally caused Li Yuan to burst forth completely, and in just a few short days, he pushed the True Meaning of Earth, which was on the edge of breakthrough, to Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage.


    His overall strength naturally increased.


    "The breakthrough of the True Meaning of Earth is just the beginning, the combination of the mysteries of earth and wind only increased the power by thirty percent," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After such long cultivation practice, Li Yuan had discovered that once the True Intent was condensed for both earth and wind mysteries, their combined power transformed... but beyond that, no matter which type of True Intent continued to break through, the combined power of the mysteries would hardly change qualitatively.


    According to Li Yuan''s judgment.


    "Once both True Intents reach the level of laws, and combine again, the power of my Spear Technique will surge once more," Li Yuan thought to himself, "For now, however, I can only progress slowly."


    Of course, he was extremely satisfied with the speed of his skills'' improvement.


    "The skill level of Flying Heaven Peak warriors is generally at the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage, with a few at the High Rank. Perfection of the Sixth Stage is at the level of a Demigod," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    "And me?"


    Li Yuan''s thoughts stirred, and at his fingertips, two streams of air flow seemed to chase each other, faintly merging into one.


    "After the mysteries are combined, although it''s still not on par with Perfection of the Sixth Stage, it should be considered the pinnacle among the High Rank techniques of the Sixth Stage," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The gap from High Rank techniques of the Sixth Stage to Perfection of the Sixth Stage was still very large and extremely difficult to bridge.


    A vast number of Flying Heaven Peak Martial Artists are trapped at this step.


    "The Star Garment has also been initially nurtured successfully, with a Spiritual Imprint branded, allowing it to exert part of its power," Li Yuan''s thoughts moved.


    In an instant, his body was enveloped in a layer of black battle garment, and his life''s aura underwent a noticeable change.


    The Star Garment was the Semi Divine Level Battle Garment that Gu You had given to him.


    Because the core of the battle garment contained the fluctuations of the mysteries of the Earth Vein, it was named ''Star'' by Li Yuan. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Now."


    "If I encounter Dean Hai again, and put forth my full effort, I should be able to protect myself," a slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuan''s mouth.


    Dean Hai is a 34-Level Flying Heaven Martial Artist, extremely powerful, and before the great battle in Rob Sea Star Realm, Dean Hai effortlessly defeated Li Yuan using his Domain Star Technique.


    But today''s Li Yuan, compared to himself during the Rob Sea Battle, had greatly enhanced his overall strength.


    Suddenly.


    Buzz~ Countless rays of light converged, and a white-clothed figure appeared out of thin air in the void.


    "War God Gu You," Number One greeted with respect.


    "Sister," Li Yuan''s eyes lit up as well, having been in secluded cultivation by himself for over ten days, Gu You had not shown herself.


    The young girl had a smile on her face.


    Though she seldom appeared, she had been quietly observing Li Yuan, and his rate of progress had indeed astonished her.


    Especially after cultivating the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" to the Second Order Limit, he quickly broke through to the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage... This speed of cultivation was enough to make countless geniuses feel out of their depth.


    "Little brother,"


    "The named disciple ''Lin Lanyue'' chosen by Xiao Huo has arrived," the girl spoke softly, "She''s looking for you."


    "Lanyue? Looking for me?" Li Yuan was slightly startled, instantly realizing, "The great battle of the Mingxu Star Realm has come?"


    Li Yuan originally planned to cultivate for a month before returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    After all, once back in the Martial Divine Star Realm, it would not be appropriate to make casual use of the Hall of Inheritance.


    He didn''t expect Lin Lanyue to arrive so quickly.


    ...


    The True Phoenix Divine, Hall of Inheritance.


    Whew!


    In the vast hall teeming with fiery red, a black-clothed figure appeared out of nowhere.


    ```


    "Lanyue," the young man in black looked toward the distant woman in a fiery red robe, revealing a smile.


    "Li Yuan," Lin Lanyue''s eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward, "Are you alright?"


    "I''m fine," Li Yuan shook his head, "What''s up? Is it about the Mingxu Star Realm?"


    "Yes."


    Swiftly, Lin Lanyue recounted the situation of the Mingxu Star Realm to Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan, the battle is now fierce, and according to what I learned from the elders of Flame City before I left, it seems that the native Flying Heaven warriors of the Mingxu Star Realm are already counterattacking," Lin Lanyue said. "In the Tianliang Civilization, a good number of Flying Heaven-level warriors have emerged, and several are Flying Heaven Warriors who have broken through from Prime Warriors... It seems there''s the shadow of the Myriad Demons Civilization behind this." Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    "True Intent Flying Heaven powerhouses?" A trace of solemnity flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Normally, among the many Second Level Star Realms, those who are permanent residents at the Flying Heaven Level are generally warriors at Fifth Stage Perfection who have broken through... Their potential is limited, and they almost certainly cannot become a Demigod in the future.


    But Prime Warriors of True Intent? Each of them can be considered geniuses, all with the potential of a Demigod.


    Therefore, such talents are not easily allowed to break through to the Flying Heaven Realm and stay permanently in the Second Level Star Realms.


    However, evidently, either the Tianliang Civilization or the Myriad Demons Civilization behind it is continuously raising the stakes, investing more resources.


    "In that case, it''s time for me to join the battle," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Li Yuan, are you really a Spirit Gun?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help but ask.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    Lin Lanyue had already understood the answer, her heart jolting.


    "Fine, Lanyue, since you''ve come back, you might as well cultivate for a few more days in the Hall of Inheritance," Li Yuan said. "When I return from the Mingxu Star Realm, we shall meet again in the Martial Divine Star Realm."


    "I''ll be off then."


    "Be careful," Lin Lanyue couldn''t help saying, her eyes full of concern.


    "Don''t worry!"


    Whoosh!


    Waves of ripples emanated from Li Yuan''s figure, and he had already vanished from the temple.


    ...


    In the dim void, this is the heart of World within Worlds.


    "Retract!" With a thought, Li Yuan fully engaged the Hall of Inheritance, and the colossal sphere in the void, covered with thick earthen yellow streams, began to shrink.


    From a towering thousand meters, it swiftly shrank to a hundred meters, ten meters, one meter.


    Until it finally became a speck in the palm of Li Yuan''s hand, virtually undetectable by the naked eye.


    This was the Hall of Inheritance, its true name being ''Ancient Divine Palace.''


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh¡ªa streak of light flickered, forming the figure of a girl in white next to Li Yuan.


    It''s Gu You.


    "Sister," Li Yuan was startled, "Why have you come out?"


    "To say goodbye to an old friend," the girl said with a smile, her gaze falling into the distance, where countless fires converged in the void.


    Eventually, they formed the figure of a child in a fiery red robe.


    "Sister Gu You, you''re finally able to leave. You''ve waited so long for this day. Both the master and the Ancient Torch Divine, if they knew, would surely be happy," the child looked at Gu You, with a flicker of excitement in his eyes, and then a hint of loneliness, "It''s just regrettable that I can''t go with you."


    Clearly, this child in the fiery red robe is the ''Boundary Spirit'' of World within Worlds.


    "Xiao Huo!"


    "Lin Lanyue''s talent and determination are good, there''s hope for you to break free," the girl said with a smile. "Your sister will be waiting for you in the outside world."


    The relationship between Gu You and the Boundary Spirit is evidently quite close; for tens of thousands of years, they have been like kin to each other.


    ...


    Taking the Hall of Inheritance, he left the heart of World within Worlds.


    A day later, Li Yuan had already arrived from Feixing to ''Jiangnan Province'' in Blue Star Xia Country.

 Chapter 299 Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    The height of summer was drawing to a close.Jiangnan Province, one of the most prosperous provinces of Xia Country, had a dreamlike charm in the misty rain of summer, yet it also bore a hint of sweltering heat.


    In the void, Li Yuan stood quietly, looking down at the lotus flowers in the pond below.


    Droplets of rain fell, striking the surface of the pond and rippling outward.


    This was an ancient town.


    "Buzz~ Buzz~" Countless droplets of rain falling nearby, even before they could approach Li Yuan, instantly evaporated, creating an area around him that spanned three meters and seemed like a forbidden zone.


    However, the invisible distortion of light made many pedestrians in the ancient town below completely oblivious to this eerie scene playing out overhead.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan slightly turned his head, his gaze drawn to the distance.


    Through the hazy, thin rain, a distortion of light occurred and then returned to normal.


    A man in black clothing, appearing to be about thirty years old, emerged; his aura was restrained, but a sharpness could still be felt.


    "[Target individual, Life Level 36.9]" Li Yuan, having deployed Divine Palace Inquiry, thought to himself: "As expected, the principal is just a Six Star Pulse."


    The last time he met Fang Hai, Li Yuan''s Life Level had not been high enough, and Divine Palace Inquiry could only determine that Fang Hai was at least a Six Star Pulse.


    Now it was confirmed.


    The Seven Star Veins were nearly mythical in many civilizations; even someone with the talents of Fang Hai had not reached it.


    Huh! S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Fang Hai had already approached Li Yuan.


    "Principal." Li Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.


    "It''s only been a little over a year, but your realm has indeed become remarkably high. I hadn''t even come close, and you detected me." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, revealing a slight smile, "You truly deserve the title of ''Spirit Gun,'' the first Prime Warrior of the civilization; it probably won''t be too long before you surpass me."


    "The principal jests." Li Yuan smiled.


    To catch up with Fang Hai, Li Yuan estimated that it would take him at least five years or even more.


    After all, he himself was making progress.


    But with the principal, Fang Hai''s talent, his strength was also advancing rapidly.


    "The great war in the Mingxu Star Realm, I originally didn''t want to involve you, considering your prominence. Once you join the battle, the Myriad Demons Civilization will surely target you," Fang Hai sighed, "Moreover, your talent and potential have probably not yet reached the limit of a Prime Warrior. You still have room to grow."


    "The casualties are just too great," he continued.


    "If you do not participate, we might have to consider retreating, and by then, all four major bases might be destroyed. If we rebuild them in the future, the cost will be greater."


    "I understand, Principal." Li Yuan said calmly.


    On the way from Fierce Feather Star Realm, Li Yuan had already gotten a rough understanding of the battle situation. Two of the original four major bases had been breached, and many new war bases, forward bases... had also been mostly destroyed.


    In fact, the only ones still maintaining stability were the original Base 3 and Base 4.


    Even the Flying Serpent Valley Base, which had been established because of Li Yuan, had been mostly destroyed.


    The total number of casualties had reached hundreds of thousands!


    Just the number of Martial Artists who died was staggering... of course, both Tianliang Civilization and the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm suffered heavy losses too.


    "The enemy will not wait for my strength to reach its limit before waging war. We can only work hard to cultivate," Li Yuan said, "and be ready to join the fight at any time."


    "Actually, we of the high command have discussed it; many demigods believe that inciting the great war in the Mingxu Star Realm was a mistake. We should have expanded progressively, avoiding conflict with Tianliang Civilization," Fang Hai shook his head, "We should have waited for the best opportunity."


    "If Tianliang Civilization made the same choice as us, that would have been fine, preventing any provocation of the native life," Li Yuan said, "but we could not do that."


    "This is a struggle for civilization''s living space. We cannot trust each other, both wanting to expand as quickly as possible to establish an advantage and then lock down each other''s Star Realm entrances."


    "The treasures that might be contained within Ming Mountain are worth fighting for," Li Yuan continued, "The only mistake is that we all underestimated the native forces."


    According to the intelligence Li Yuan had received, the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm had already identified hundreds of Flying Heaven Level beings... a seemingly small number given the vast territory of Mingxu Star Realm.


    But one must know, within Mingxu Star Realm, there was no unified civilization with a heritage.


    Instead, there were many Exotic Beast Tribes each fighting their own battles.


    Most of their cultivation relied on bloodlines and instincts, so having so many Flying Heaven Level beings was quite remarkable.


    "Hmm." Fang Hai sighed softly, "Back when Mingxu Star Realm was a First Level Star Realm, we couldn''t delve too deep to investigate, leading to an underestimation of the native forces."


    "Now, it all depends on you," he concluded.


    "Without you, the higher-ups might have already considered giving up on Mingxu Star Realm," Fang Hai said shaking his head, "However, you and others will face a drastically increased risk of falling in such a fierce battle."


    "Haha."


    "Principal." Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh, "Each generation has its own responsibilities."


    "If our native civilization were invaded, we would have to rely on you, the principal, and the Alliance Hierarch and other demigods," Li Yuan stated.


    "But as for interstellar wars, it''s up to us to see them through." Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    "When you were a Prime Warrior, Principal, you too, as the civilization''s first Prime Warrior, dominated many Star Realms. Didn''t the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization regard you as a thorn in their side? Did they not try to assassinate you multiple times?" Li Yuan said with a smile.


    With his current level of access, Li Yuan was entitled to know many of the deeds from Fang Hai''s rise.


    "Lude Nef fought in the Rob Sea Star Realm and wreaked havoc in the Fierce Feather Star Realm; without him and Yu Jinghe battling desperately, I wouldn''t have been able to wrest control of the World within Worlds from the Immortal Ruins Civilization so easily," Li Yuan explained, "Big Brother Yu has supported the conflict in Mingxu Star Realm for over a year as well."

 Chapter 299 Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    "Now, it''s my turn to shoulder the load,""As the first Prime Warrior of the civilization, deciding the fate of the entire Star Realm''s war is my responsibility, as well as an honor," Li Yuan said with a smile, "It''s also the ideal I had when I was younger."


    The ideal he had when he was younger? Fang Hai was taken aback upon hearing this.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan pointed towards the ancient town below, "Principal, I remember this old town used to be quite bustling, but now it seems there are hardly any tourists."


    Fang Hai looked down.


    Within the haze of the misty rain,


    the town that was always lively and prosperous throughout the year was indeed scarcely populated now.


    In the past year, during the all-out war in the Mingxu Star Realm, the entire Xia Country had entered a state of total mobilization... Even the home front was far from peace.


    Huge amounts of supplies and manpower had been poured into the Star Realm.


    At this moment, Fang Hai understood that Li Yuan truly wished to take part in this battle from the bottom of his heart.


    "Li Yuan, take this." Fang Hai flipped his palm open.


    Within his palm emerged a silver Battle Garment, radiating faint, mysterious fluctuations.


    In Li Yuan''s Divine Sense perception, the silver Battle Garment didn''t even seem to exist.


    "Is this the ''Phantom Spirit Garment'' that the Alliance Hierarch recently mentioned to me?" Curiosity flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Why was he here waiting for Fang Hai?


    It was to wait for Fang Hai to retrieve this treasure from Dongfang Ji.


    "Try to bind it to yourself first," Fang Hai waved his hand.


    The silver Battle Garment in his palm immediately flew toward Li Yuan.


    With a thought, Li Yuan manipulated the forces of heaven and earth, causing the silver Battle Garment to descend in front of him.


    He reached out to touch it!


    "Sizzle~" Li Yuan quickly imprinted his Spiritual Mark on the Battle Garment, and immediately, Origin Power followed his fingertips, surging into the garment and completing the bonding process.


    Whoosh~


    With a thought, the thin-as-cicada-wing Battle Garment, like flowing water, merged into Li Yuan''s arm, becoming one with his flesh.


    Instantly, in Li Yuan''s perception, the silver Battle Garment had transformed into streams of silver power that penetrated every part of his body.


    The next moment,


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s entire body was faintly enveloped by the silver Battle Garment, and he suddenly grew taller by a bit, with his facial features undergoing noticeable changes.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan''s life essence and soul aura both underwent a subtle transformation.


    If the aura Li Yuan exuded before was balanced and harmonious,


    then now, his whole body emitted a cold air, as if pushing people thousands of miles away.


    Coldness!


    A complete change of persona.


    "Haha, the Phantom Spirit Garment is indeed powerful," Fang Hai revealed a smile, "If I hadn''t watched you change with my own eyes, I could hardly imagine that you are actually Li Yuan."


    Li Yuan was also quite amazed in his heart, "Principal, this ''Phantom Spirit Garment'' is so miraculous, perfectly merging into my flesh, making the aura of my life and soul completely turn into another person."


    "Moreover, it doesn''t affect my use of a real protective Battle Garment." Li Yuan thought again, activating the Star Garment.


    A layer of black Battle Garment emerged, completely enveloping Li Yuan and emitting an even more majestic aura.


    Normally, only one protective Battle Garment could be used, but Li Yuan was now using the Star Garment and the Phantom Spirit Garment together without any issue.


    "The Phantom Spirit Garment looks like a Battle Garment, but at its core, it''s actually an auxiliary treasure," Fang Hai said with a smile, "This was specially obtained for you by the Alliance Hierarch not long ago. It can conceal your soul aura while emitting a different soul aura."


    "After all, there are quite a few Flying Heaven Level who have seen you, and if it were merely a disguise in appearance, it wouldn''t mean much and could easily be distinguished," Fang Hai said, "Moreover, people like Yan Jing and Lin Yue who know the true identity of the Spirit Gun, have been repeatedly warned... They won''t leak your secret."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Actually, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists could quite easily change their appearance... but for top-level powerhouses to conceal themselves was almost impossible.


    Why?


    Because of the soul aura!


    Flying Heaven powerhouses, sensed with Divine Sense, would naturally remember each other''s soul aura.


    No matter how much the appearance changes, it is very difficult to conceal the soul.


    "Li Yuan, with the Phantom Spirit Garment, you now have another identity¡ª"Spirit Gun,"" said Fang Hai.


    "So, there''s no need to worry about being exposed."


    "But remember, the Phantom Spirit Garment only conceals you up to the Semi Divine Level," Fang Hai said, "If the enemy''s spiritual power reaches the Semi Divine Level... they may be able to discern your disguise."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded.


    No treasure is invincible, and such auxiliary treasures naturally have a limit to their power.

    However, within the Mingxu Star Realm, there likely were no Semi Divine Level powerhouses, and even within the Seven Star Civilization, the chances of a Flying Heaven Level breaking through to the Semi Divine Level were low.


    As for a Flying Heaven Level having a Semi Divine Level soul? Almost impossible! S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Go ahead," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said with a light sigh, "You have an extremely strong ability to survive, but in this battle... I don''t expect you to win, just to cover the retreat of the various teams to the third and fourth bases, and ultimately hold these two strategic points. That would be a victory."


    "As for competing for the final treasure... we must see what opportunities arise."


    "Remember, survival is the number one priority. If things are truly beyond salvage, then just retreat straight through the passage back to Xia Country."


    "Hmm," Li Yuan nodded, feeling Fang Hai''s expectation and a touch of worry for him.


    This was a side of Fang Hai that he rarely showed in the past.


    "Compared to the Alliance Hierarch, the principal seems to have more of a human touch," Li Yuan silently thought to himself.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan turned around and swiftly transformed into a beam of light, disappearing in the misty fine rain.


    Fang Hai, standing in the void, watched the direction in which Li Yuan had vanished, appearing somewhat lost in thought.

 Chapter 299 Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3

    ```"Back then,"


    "when I delved into the ''Nine Leaves Star Realm''," Fang Hai sighed silently, "my teacher came to send me off, probably with the same feelings."


    Fang Hai had not given Li Yuan specific guidance on cultivation.


    But he had indeed watched Li Yuan grow up every step of the way, and he was full of expectations for Li Yuan.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan merged with heaven and earth, his presence perfectly concealed by the Phantom Spirit Garment, speeding towards that War Fortress.


    "Little brother, the leader of your civilization is indeed impressive, even managing to obtain ''Phantom Divine Garments'' for many subordinates in the Dimensional River¡ªa thing many great powers struggle to do," a voice like heavenly music rose in Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Phantom Divine Garment?" Li Yuan was startled.


    It was Gu You''s voice.


    She was in the Ancient Divine Palace, yet she could sense the nearby area.


    "In the Dimensional River, there are many treasures like this. Many strong individuals use similar items to conceal their identities when traveling outside," Gu You''s voice transmitted, "The Phantom Spirit Garment you''re using is the lowest grade in the Phantom Divine Garment series, meant for Demigods and those of lower status in the mortal world."


    "But being of low grade doesn''t mean it''s cheap, because a higher grade one wouldn''t be usable by you anyway."


    "What I find strange is,"


    "The Phantom Spirit Garment on you is exactly the same as one I''ve seen before, very much like those mass-produced treasures... I wonder how Dongfang Ji got hold of it," Gu You''s voice transmitted.


    Li Yuan''s heart was quite shocked.


    The same?


    If its function is similar, it''s easy to understand... but mass-produced, that significance is completely different, too coincidental.


    Was it something Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji got by accident, or could there be other possibilities?


    And thinking of the Martial God Inheritance.


    In any case, Gu You''s casual remark sparked many conjectures in Li Yuan''s heart.


    Not long after. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had already rushed to the War Fortress he had arrived at one and a half years ago... but the entire base had completely changed in appearance.


    "Sister, I''m about to enter the Exterior Dimensional Star Realm, you should wait for me here," Li Yuan transmitted.


    In the Exterior Dimensional Star Realm, the Ancient Divine Palace could come and go freely if carried by Li Yuan.


    Once it became ownerless, the Ancient Divine Palace would be suppressed again.


    This was one of the invisible rules of the Star Realm.


    "Mhm."


    "Little brother, I know you''re your civilization''s top genius, with your responsibilities..." Gu You''s voice sounded, "but I hope you also remember, you''re all I have, little brother."


    "Sister has waited for you for ten thousand years, you must come back alive."


    "Alright," Li Yuan''s heart warmed, and he smiled in response, "Sister, don''t worry, I will definitely come back alive. I will truly take control of the Ancient Divine Palace in the future."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, heading towards the War Fortress below that had gone through crazy expansion.


    Humm~ A nondescript speck of dust flew out, hovering in the kilometer-high sky.


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    "Dongfang Ji?"


    "This Seven Star Civilization might contain great secrets."


    "Previously trapped within the Fierce Feather Star Realm, unable to learn more, now I am finally free." The girl with bare feet stood in the hall.


    Beneath her, stood hundreds of figures.


    "Go!"


    "Delve into the entire Blue Star; I want to gather plenty of information on the Seven Star Civilization," the girl spoke softly, "At least, pave the way for Li Yuan''s growth."


    "Understand his parent civilization."


    "If the top echelons of this civilization threaten Li Yuan in the future, we will be better prepared to respond." Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Remember, don''t reveal yourselves, just gather information for now,"


    "Yes! War God!" the hundreds of figures responded in unison below.


    Li Yuan never knew that by taking the Ancient Divine Palace out, he had unleashed a monster... There was a reason Gu You was revered by many as the War God.


    Back then, Gu You followed the Ancient Torch Divine''s side, commanding many planets.


    Countless beings trembled under her iron fist and brutality.


    The true depth of the Ancient Divine Palace was beyond Li Yuan''s imagination.


    ...


    Below, deep within the huge War Fortress.


    Several Flying Heaven Warriors had already received orders, waiting at the entry point of the Star Realm.


    When Li Yuan arrived, clad in a black Battle Garment exuding an extremely cold aura,


    "Spirit Gun."


    "Spirit Gun!"


    "Spirit Gun, welcome," the Flying Heaven Warriors greeted warmly.


    They were curious about this legendary ''Prime Warrior'' of civilization.


    "Yun senior," Li Yuan''s voice was icy, "don''t waste time, the battle situation is urgent, better to open the passage and let me through at once."


    "Yes, it''s our fault," the leading Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun gave a bitter smile, turning his head and shouting immediately, "Open the passage right now!"


    Rumble~


    The majestic metal door nearby creaked open, revealing the Star Realm entry point filled with ripples of light.


    This Star Realm entry point had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to when Li Yuan last saw it.


    Wider, and taller.


    At a glance, Li Yuan could see that both the width and the height must have exceeded 500 meters.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a ray of light, entering the ripple of light unobstructed.


    Quickly vanishing from the senses of the group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Such arrogance."


    "We are also Flying Heaven Warriors, greeted with a smile, and yet he reprimands us."


    "He really didn''t give us any face," the few Flying Heaven Warriors murmured quietly.


    "Shut up,"


    the Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun frowned and reprimanded in a low voice, "Spirit Gun is here to fight. Others have rushed here from Feixing, we stay in the rear without having to face the risk of death in battle, should we still speak ill of them?"


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors immediately fell silent.


    In terms of status, Flying Heaven Warrior Yun was the highest among them.


    "Spirit Gun has arrived."


    "This is our civilization''s last trump card," Yun, the Flying Heaven Warrior, sighed lightly, "Let''s hope he can win, otherwise..."

 Chapter 299 Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_4

    ...Not long after passing through the channel,


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the other end, at the "Mingxu Star Realm''s Number Three Outpost Base".


    Of course, the name here had already changed to "Bright Moon Base".


    This was the Seven Star Civilization''s main base in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Swoosh!


    As Li Yuan flew out from the entrance and into the high sky,


    he quickly found that, compared to just over a year ago, the whole base had undergone earth-shattering changes.


    The base had become extremely expansive, akin to a medium-sized city, and looked more like a super-large munitions factory, with numerous aircraft floating in the sky, their surfaces mostly streaming with light, signifying they could depart at any moment.


    The most eye-catching feature was the 200-meter diameter flying saucer fighter jet, floating in the sky above the center of the base.


    As Li Yuan arrived, S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Nearly ten figures flew out of a huge flying saucer fighter jet in the center of the base,


    flying directly towards him to meet him.


    That they could fly left no doubt that they were either Flying Heaven Warriors or True Intent Prime Warriors.


    "Spirit Gun."


    "You''ve finally arrived." There was a hint of joy on their faces, but among them, one person looked somewhat puzzled.


    Li Yuan was entirely clad in a black battle garment, his face completely obscured.


    "Luo Chan," Li Yuan''s voice was icy as he called out to the black-clothed woman who was leading the group.


    It was Luo Chan!


    She was one of the three "commanders" of the Bright Moon Base in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    However, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Luo Chan''s face as a voice rang directly in her mind: "Luo Chan, it''s Li Yuan. I''m just disguising my identity, don''t be alarmed."


    "Understood," Luo Chan immediately communicated back, her Flying Heaven Level soul sensing the difference in Li Yuan''s soul aura.


    In fact, she had already received the directive regarding "Spirit Gun," aware that the other party would be in disguise.


    Yet, Luo Chan never imagined the disguise would be so convincingly real.


    "Spirit Gun, this is Tavares."


    Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire


    "This is Luan Mu."


    "This is..."


    ...


    Luo Chan introduced each one to Li Yuan in turn.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors and True Intent Prime Warriors also curiously observed Li Yuan.


    "This is Li Yang, who has just recently broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior," Luo Chan introduced the last large and sturdy man.


    "Hello, Spirit Gun," the robust man said with a smile, displaying considerable humility.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, maintaining a calm exterior.


    But in reality, Li Yuan''s heart was filled with indescribable emotions.


    This robust man was none other than his college professor, ''Li Yang,'' the former ''Deputy Dean'' of the Sixth Institute at Kunlun Martial University.


    Just over a year ago, with Li Yuan''s assistance, Li Yang had advanced his skills into Fifth Stage Perfection. Shortly after, he proceeded to Feixing for special training... But Li Yuan had never imagined that Li Yang would end up choosing to break through in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    This choice,


    implied that Li Yang was likely to be trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm forever.


    Making such a choice required courage.


    But Li Yuan couldn''t say much. To his knowledge, over twenty Prime Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization had broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Li Yang was merely one among these many people.


    Compared to the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Mingxu Star Realm was indeed far more valuable and significant.


    "What about Yu Jinghe? Any news?" Li Yuan asked with a cold voice, raising the key question.


    Coldness was the persona he had established for Spirit Gun¡ªto keep interactions minimal and maintain his disguise more effectively.


    "Still no news."


    "Since the 24th of August, when Yu Jinghe ventured alone into the ''Area 67'' on the outskirts of Ming Mountain, there has been no message back. We can only confirm that he''s still alive but impossible to contact," Luo Chan said with a wry smile: "Soon after, starting from the 27th of August, one of the Three Great Beast Emperors from Ming Mountain, the ''Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor'', and its myriad Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts began a frenzied assault on us and the Tianliang Civilization."


    "Our losses are heavy."


    "Many of the peripheral bases have been destroyed by Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    If not for Yu Jinghe going missing, with only a secret treasure confirming his survival, suspected to be trapped deep within Ming Mountain,


    perhaps the high echelons of the Seven Star Alliance would not have hurried to summon him.


    "What about the other Flying Heaven Level forces?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept over.


    Based on previous data, the entire Bright Moon Base should have had over twenty Flying Heaven Level forces.


    "Wu Manong and the others are patrolling the periphery, covering for the many teams withdrawing back to the base."

 Chapter 300 First Move (Additional 21)

    ```"Patrolling?" Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Over the past year, the Seven Star Civilization had been delving deeper into the inquiry of the Mingxu Star Realm, gaining a deeper understanding of the Star Realm and even communicating with many Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    After all, the wisdom of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts is extremely high, and once they have developed Divine Sense, they can easily communicate using Divine Sense, even if they don''t share a common language... Divine Sense is a method of communication more advanced than language.


    By now, the Seven Star Civilization had a rough understanding.


    There were three incredibly powerful Exotic Beast forces in the Mingxu Star Realm or around Ming Mountain.


    Each force was led by a mighty Beast Emperor: the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    So far, no strong member of the Seven Star Civilization had seen any of the Three Great Beast Emperors, and could only roughly guess that they were at least ''Flying Heaven Peak warriors''. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors had never left Ming Mountain up to now.


    In fact, before Yu Jinghe and the others had ventured into Area 67 on the outskirts of Ming Mountain, although the Seven Star Civilization had progressively expanded and started conflicts with the local forces.


    There hadn''t been a large-scale war yet.


    For the past year or so, the Seven Star and Tianliang Civilizations had been killing each other, with the Seven Star Civilization constantly avoiding a great war with the local forces...their expansion direction had also been away from Ming Mountain.


    Their goal had been to accumulate strength until they were strong enough, at least after driving out the Tianliang Civilization, to wage war against the many Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts of the local forces.


    Unexpectedly, a devastating strike came.


    Until now, the high-level officials of the Seven Star Civilization were not clear whether the local forces'' sudden large-scale attack was related to the disappearance of Yu Jinghe.


    The recent great war also divided into two stages.


    The first stage was when hundreds of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts under the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor crazily attacked various forward outposts and small war bases established by the two civilizations, resulting in heavy casualties... Many warriors and ordinary people in these bases fled.


    The second stage was many Flying Heaven Level forces from the two civilizations fighting against these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, preventing them from pursuing the many escaping warriors and ordinary people.


    The second stage of the war has continued up to the present.


    "More than a dozen Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts also tried to attack Bright Moon Base before," Luo Chan said, "Only, they were deterred by our Fourth-order Battleship."


    "We used the main cannons of the warship to kill two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts and severely injure the most powerful 33rd level Flying Heaven Exotic Beast," Luo Chan pointed to a flying saucer-shaped warship in the distance.


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    A Fourth-order Battleship is the most powerful warship developed by the Seven Star Civilization to this date, usually the mount of a Demigod... for instance, Fang Hai''s ship was actually a Fourth-order Battleship.


    The main cannon of a Fourth-order Battleship is an extremely powerful Origin Power Weapon with astonishing might.


    In theory, a single shot could annihilate a Flying Heaven Peak fighter... but that''s just theory, and in reality, it''s not easy to kill even an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior.


    First of all, there''s the need to charge up!


    A long charge time is necessary, and any Flying Heaven Warrior who isn''t a fool would flee early upon sensing the threat.


    Secondly, once a Flying Heaven Warrior gets close, it''s easy for them to destroy many of the weapons on the outer layer of the warship.


    The key point is, there aren''t many such warships throughout the whole Seven Star Civilization.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, a Fourth-order Battleship had been stationed in each of the four main war bases... yet the first two bases were still overrun, and those two Fourth-order Battleships had to retreat, with one suffering tremendous damage.


    Bright Moon Base could hold its ground only by relying on a large number of Flying Heaven level forces, coupled with a Fourth-order Battleship.


    That''s how they managed to fend off a large number of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts.


    A single Fourth-order Battleship on its own couldn''t stop the onslaught of numerous Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, let alone take the offensive.


    "How many people are out patrolling now?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Fourteen," Luo Chan replied, "We have a total of twenty-two Flying Heaven Level powers, and we rotate."


    "When others are not on patrol, they are responsible for defending Bright Moon Base."


    "Because of a large number of Second Rank Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, there are too many targets in the sky, so we dare not deploy too many flyers."


    Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire


    "Many people can only form small teams to flee along the ground."


    "Currently, there are tens of thousands of people on the road," Luo Chan said, "Our main objective is to hold back the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts and try to kill some flying beasts."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod.


    The sheer number of flying Exotic Beasts in the Mingxu Star Realm was the most terrifying thing and a nightmare for a large number of ordinary warriors and civilians.


    Before the local forces counterattacked.


    No one had imagined that Ming Mountain hid so many Second Rank Exotic Beasts and Flying Heaven warriors.


    Many of the peripheral bases, originally intended to be developed into breeding areas and serve as strongholds... under the present all-out war, could only be evacuated.


    "Set my authority to the highest," Li Yuan declared.


    His gaze swept over the people: "At the same time, notify me of any distress signals... and synchronize the positions of the fourteen Flying Heaven Level warriors to me."


    "The main bases have been destroyed, but the message transmission devices there shouldn''t be completely malfunctioning, right?"


    "They haven''t malfunctioned yet, but beyond ten thousand kilometers from Bright Moon Base, the signal is intermittent," Luo Chan nodded.


    She quickly began to adjust the authorizations.


    Li Yuan also received the notice.


    "Continue to stay here and follow your previous rotation plan," Li Yuan''s voice was ice cold, "I will act alone and issue orders to you depending on the situation."


    "Yes," Luo Chan said.


    No one had any objections, and as the strongest among them, Spirit Gun naturally had the highest authority.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan shot into the sky, his speed continually soaring, quickly turning into a black streak of light heading towards the distant void.


    ```

 Chapter 300 First Move (Additional 21)_2

    ```"Such incredible speed."


    "His final speed must have exceeded five times the speed of sound."


    "So fast."


    "The Spirit Gun, really just a Prime Warrior?" Tavares, Li Yang, and this group of Flying Heaven-level warriors were all somewhat shocked.


    Even the few Flying Heaven Martial Artists present couldn''t match Li Yuan''s speed, just in terms of velocity.


    Before this, they had heard of the Spirit Gun, but in the videos promoted by Xia Country, real combat footage was very scarce.


    The people present had no direct understanding of Li Yuan''s abilities.


    Only Luo Chan was relatively calm; she had personally witnessed Li Yuan in action and knew well how fearsome he was.


    However, she had a vague feeling that Li Yuan''s strength had become even greater than it was during the great battle at Rob Sea.


    ...


    In the sky, two suns hung high; at the edge of the land, stood the towering Ming Mountain.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan was flying at an extremely low altitude at high speed.


    Occasionally, with his astonishing vision, he could spot some large battle scenes on the ground.


    Many exotic beast corpses, as well as... human bodies, and occasionally many fallen wrecks of robots and warships could be seen.


    It was extremely brutal.


    "Flying Serpent Valley."


    Li Yuan was flying at an incredibly fast speed and soon arrived at the once-visited Flying Serpent Valley.


    It was now a ruin, no longer held by anyone.


    The many wreckages and bodies made Li Yuan''s heart twinge with compassion, and his rage and killing intent grew stronger.


    "According to the message, in the first round of frenzied attacks, they destroyed a large number of bases of ours and the Tianliang Civilization, and most of the local Flying Heaven-level exotic beasts then retreated," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Now, it''s mainly Second Rank exotic beasts cutting down the humans attempting to escape."


    "Kill!"


    "First, escort all the humans who have scattered and escaped from the various bases back to the two major bases," Li Yuan''s eyes flashed with killing intent. "Then, try to destroy the Tianliang Civilization''s bases... Lastly, once everything is secure, head to Ming Mountain."


    With Yu Jinghe disappearing, Li Yuan was quite anxious in his heart.


    But Li Yuan knew that now was not the time to be rash.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors of Ming Mountain were likely Flying Heaven Peak warriors... Without absolute certainty, rashly entering the core area of Ming Mountain could easily lead to death.


    Ming Mountain was too mysterious.


    Before long, Li Yuan crossed the region of Flying Serpent Valley, about a thousand kilometers away from Bright Moon Base.


    "Hmm? In that direction, 200 kilometers away, there''s a distress signal." Li Yuan was constantly sensing the messages on his smart ring, quickly determining the exact location.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan changed direction, his speed imperceptibly increasing even further and, not bothering to perfectly conceal his aura, he turned into a streak of light and dashed off.


    ...


    In the sprawling and undulating vast mountain ranges.


    There were densely packed figures, thousands in number, engaged in fierce combat.


    Among them were figures of human martial artists, as well as a considerable number of mechanical warrior figures.


    Of course, the most numerous were the exotic beasts; hordes of large First Rank exotic beasts, coming from all sides, were wildly attacking these human martial artists.


    These First Rank exotic beasts, each with four sturdy hooves and covered in scales and armor, were incredibly tough. Each one was as fast as lightning, furiously biting and tearing.


    Nearly a hundred human martial artists were desperately holding on.


    In terms of individual strength, these human martial artists far surpassed these exotic beasts, with plenty of fearless mechanical warriors assisting, but nevertheless... there were just too many exotic beasts.


    They were innumerable, seemingly never-ending.


    However, the most ferocious fighters in the whole war were those four Second Rank powerhouses.


    "Roar~~"


    "Boom!" Three Second Rank exotic beasts, each over ten meters in length and swift and immensely strong, were fiercely attacking the central human Prime Warrior.


    ```


    ```


    "Ah~" The burly human Prime Warrior ''Nuo Fan'' clad in silver combat armor roared as he swung his combat saber again and again, attempting to kill the three Second Rank exotic beasts.


    ```


    ```


    But these three Second Rank exotic beasts were incredibly cunning and would not engage him in a direct confrontation, instead they kept entangling him in battle.


    ```


    ```


    Puchi~


    ```


    ```


    Not far away, a human martial artist made a mistake and his body was torn apart by a multitude of exotic beasts.


    ```


    ```


    "Zang Chong!" Nuo Fan''s eyes blazed with fury, his heart bleeding as he fought desperately.


    ```


    ```


    He was a 25th Level Prime Warrior; if it were one-on-one, he could take the time to kill any Second Rank exotic beast.


    ```


    ```


    But against three Second Rank exotic beasts working together, he was completely out of options.


    ```


    ```


    "If this keeps up, our entire team will be wiped out."


    ```


    ```


    "We finally escaped from the outpost base, evaded the pursuit of flying heaven exotic beasts, and we''re almost at Bright Moon Base. Are we going to die here?" Nuo Fan gritted his teeth.


    ```


    ```


    As the battle waged on, not just Nuo Fan, many human martial artists were on the brink of despair.


    ```


    ```


    Suddenly!


    ```


    ```


    Boom! A terrifying aura descended from the high sky, and the next scene would be forever etched in the hearts of these human martial artists.


    ```


    ```


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"


    ```


    ```


    Streams of earthy yellow currents materialized out of thin air, and immediately after, they condensed into what resembled a barrage of spikes, swiftly sweeping over everything.


    ```


    ```


    The change came too quickly.


    ```


    ```


    So quickly that most human martial artists and First Rank exotic beasts couldn''t react.


    ```


    ```


    "Puchi~"


    ```


    ```


    "Puchi!" "Puchi!" Each of the ferocious First Rank exotic beasts were instantaneously pierced through the skull by the spike-like earthy yellow currents, blood splattering...


    ```


    ```


    In the blink of an eye, the rolling earthy yellow currents had passed, and thousands of First Rank exotic beasts were wiped out.


    ```


    ```


    "Roar~"


    ```


    ```


    "Mroo~" The three Second Rank exotic beasts that had been surrounding Nuo Fan looked on in horror at this scene and turned into streaks of light, trying to flee to the distance.


    ```


    ```


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"


    ```


    ```


    Several dazzling streams of spear light streaked across the heavens and earth.


    ```


    ```


    One streak of spear light passed right in front of Nuo Fan, and the terrifying power contained within that light made his heart tremble.


    ```


    ```


    "Roar~" The three Second Rank exotic beasts instinctively concentrated their Origin Power on their exteriors, attempting to withstand the terrifying spear light bearing down on them.


    ```


    ```


    "Puh!" "Puh~" "Puh!"


    ```


    ```


    The three Second Rank exotic beasts, whether blocking with their claws or twisting their bodies to dodge, were torn apart by the spear light the next moment... Countless fragments of limbs raining down explosively.


    ```


    ```


    From that moment on, the mountains that had just been the scene of a fierce slaughter became utterly quiet.


    ```


    ```


    "What''s that?"


    ```


    ```


    "A Flying Heaven Warrior?" It was only then.


    ```


    ```


    Nuo Fan and the others looked up and saw a figure wearing a black battle garment standing in the air, one hundred meters above the ground.


    ```


    ```


    The figure emitted an involuntary robust aura that seemed to suppress the souls of all the human martial artists present.


    ```


    ```


    At that moment.


    ```


    ```


    In the hearts of Nuo Fan and the others, this black-clothed figure resembled a god.


    ```


    ```


    "All exotic beasts have been killed; continue on to Bright Moon Base." The indifferent voice echoed through the mountains.


    ```


    ```


    With that, the figure in black prepared to leave.


    ```


    ```


    "Elder, may I ask your name?" Nuo Fan couldn''t help but shout.


    ```


    ```


    Boom!


    ```


    ```


    The figure in black had already transformed into a streak of light and was far gone, and at the same time, a voice from high above spread down: "Spirit Gun!"

    "The number one Prime Warrior of Tianliang Civilization!"

    "He is Spirit Gun?" The group of human martial artists were simultaneously shocked and excited, plus there was the joy of a narrow escape from death.

 Chapter 301 Kill! Kill! Famous Throughout Blue Star (Extra 22)

    Over the past year and more.The Seven Star Civilization underestimated the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm and was occupying the upper hand in the great war with Tianliang Civilization.


    As a result, the Seven Star Civilization established dozens of common bases and hundreds of outposts in the peripheral regions.


    A scene of prosperity.


    However, when numerous Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts that had been hidden in Ming Mountain descended, it spelled disaster.


    Even with many of the Seven Star Civilization''s Flying Heaven warriors mobilized immediately to fully contain the native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, they couldn''t withstand the onslaught.


    Both sides suffered casualties, with Prime Warriors wielding True Intent falling, and human Flying Heaven Martial Artists perishing in battle.


    But a large number of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts also fell.


    However, the sheer number of native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, combined with masses of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts,


    from August 29th, under the orders of the highest command, the Seven Star Civilization''s Martial Artists and civilians in various peripheral bases completely abandoned the expansion achievements of the past year and began a full-scale retreat.


    In actuality, it was a grand escape!


    ...


    Fortunately, perhaps the native forces of the Star Realm didn''t wish to fight to the death, or perhaps the Seven Star Civilization''s counterattack, especially the main cannon power of the Fourth-order Battleships, frightened those Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts.


    Together with the strong counterattack from Tianliang Civilization, which also suffered attacks.


    After the Seven Star Civilization began a full retreat, many native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts no longer pursued with relentless attacks.


    Except for a few Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, most have returned to Ming Mountain.


    But just this ''few'' Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, plus a massive number of First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, still amount to a nightmare for the tens of thousands of retreating Seven Star human warriors.


    Many human Martial Artists were ambushed and killed, and numerous fleeing groups were decimated.


    People like Wu Manong, Luo Chan, An Yongya, Li Yang, and other stationed Flying Heaven powerhouses.


    While holding onto the last two war bases, they were also constantly patrolling day and night!


    They protected the retreating troops, trying their best to ensure they could safely withdraw to Bright Moon Base, or to another ''Ming Heart Base''.


    They were fighting with all their might, yet the situation remained quite dire.


    Facing First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, they could easily kill them.


    But when encountering Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, these human Flying Heaven warriors would find themselves in grave danger¡­ not just one had fallen.


    Therefore, these Seven Star Civilization''s Flying Heaven warriors mostly patrolled in groups of three or even four.


    To rescue others, one must first ensure their own safety.


    ...


    Until August 30th.


    The second day the grand retreat plan commenced¡ªSpirit Gun finally arrived.


    This first Prime Warrior of the Seven Star Civilization, less than two months after the great war in Rob Sea Star Realm, once again revealed his terrifying battle power.


    Slay!


    Slay!


    His flying speed far surpassed other flying warriors, reaching an astonishing 1768 meters per second.


    He had no assistants, he was an army of one.


    His power was formidable, he charged unbridled, unconcerned with any possible ambushes.


    In just one day.


    Spirit Gun acted twenty-six times, directly aiding over ten thousand people¡­ the number of First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts he swept through and killed surpassed a hundred thousand.


    A powerful Domain.


    Once he arrived, he could swiftly annihilate hundreds or even thousands of Exotic Beasts with a single thought.


    Whether they were ordinary First Rank Exotic Beasts or powerful Second Rank top-tier Exotic Beasts, all were swept away.


    No one could stop him!


    ...


    When news of this battle made its way back to Xia Country, the entire country was shaken, and once again a large-scale publicity campaign was initiated.


    "Spirit Gun!"


    "Incredibly powerful."


    "The first Prime Warrior of the civilization!!" The whole Xia Country, and even the entire Blue Star, were trembling, countless people were beyond excited.


    Especially those whose family and friends were trapped in Mingxu Star Realm, they were so moved they wept.


    For in these past few days,


    continuous catastrophic news came from Mingxu Star Realm, one defeat after another, almost bewildering the military and Martial Artists of Xia Country and all nations of Blue Star.


    The horrific casualty numbers could make anyone''s heart tremble.


    Now, with Spirit Gun''s striking emergence, slaying in all directions, it offered countless people hope.


    At least, it offered hope that more people would survive and return.


    ...


    Inside Mingxu Star Realm.


    Perhaps it was Li Yuan''s rampant slaughter, or perhaps the native Flying Heaven forces had long premeditated.


    Just as the clock struck August 31st, when Li Yuan once again saved a human team.


    He had not even had the chance to fly far away.


    Two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts suddenly appeared, and the battle of Flying Heaven powers erupted in an instant.


    On the ground.


    "Spirit Gun."


    "It''s Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, definitely core members of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s clan."


    "The one that broke our base was that black snake, it''s definitely him." The human Martial Artist team, who had just been rescued, were frantically fleeing across the wilderness, but they couldn''t help but look towards the sky where the great battle was unfolding.


    They were a mix of excitement, nervousness, and concern.


    Yes! Spirit Gun was indeed powerful, but those were two extremely terrifying Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Could he win?


    "Spirit Gun, you must win," the human Martial Artists all silently prayed.


    ...


    Because it was less than 500 kilometers from Bright Moon Base.


    This battle, erupting in view, was precisely captured by a rescue air-space fighter that had come speeding in. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The live footage was directly transmitted back to the command center at Bright Moon Base.


    Wu Manong, An Yongya, and others, who had returned to rotate off duty to the base, were watching this scene intently.


    "That black snake is at least level 32, but its Star Techniques are too ordinary, it probably can''t be considered mid-Flying Heaven level."


    "But it''s at least extremely adept at speed, and also at poison."


    "It was part of the group that besieged Bright Moon Base before, I have fought against it." These powerhouses watched the flickering, somewhat unstable screen projection with heavy tension.


    In the vacuum of space, Li Yuan, looking like a small black dot, was confronting the two massive Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents from a distance.


    Even though they were aware of the power of the Spirit Gun, such a battle still made these mighty martial artists'' blood boil.


    Present at the scene.


    Even the strongest among them, Jiang Zai and Wu Manong, had no confidence in winning against any of the Flying Serpents in a one-on-one fight.


    "The great battle has erupted."


    "It''s started!"


    "The Spirit Gun is using the Body Refining Star Technique, his speed has surged." Everyone watched, holding their breath.


    ...


    In the void.


    "Unwilling to retreat? Then die," Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold.


    He didn''t really want to kill these two Flying Serpents.


    If he were alone, Li Yuan would not fear, but now he was rescuing others.


    From the action of many Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts retreating after destroying a great number of war bases and outposts, Li Yuan, or the high levels of the Seven Star Civilization, could infer that the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had no intention of waging a great war for the time being.


    Therefore, it would be best not to provoke the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor. If they enraged it now and the other side ordered a comprehensive counterattack, Li Yuan would be fine, but the tens of thousands of human martial artists who were still retreating would be in trouble.


    Li Yuan estimated that these two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents before him were likely to have a close relationship with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    Hence, Li Yuan only wanted to drive them away, to make them promise not to intercept human martial artists anymore.


    However, these two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents wouldn''t listen at all and kept eyeing Li Yuan with hostile intent.


    Fully intent on killing Li Yuan.


    "Then go to your death," Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold; in these past two days, he had seen too many tragic states of humans, and his desire to kill was heavy.


    The opponents didn''t know what was good for them.


    Therefore, Li Yuan didn''t hold back anymore and directly unleashed his strongest combat power.


    In an instant, his entire being transformed into a five-meter tall figure, his body radiating a hazy divine light. Compared to the nearly hundred-meter-long Flying Serpents, he was no longer a mere speck, and the aura he emitted was even more majestic.


    Boom!


    After using the "Great Earth Divine Body," Li Yuan shot toward the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents like lightning.


    "Roar~" The black Flying Serpent roared, opening its bloody maw wide and spewing out a terrifying black fog that spread rapidly in all directions, madly enveloping Li Yuan.


    "Hiss~


    The other green Flying Serpent quickly manifested a great amount of water from its massive body, controlling the currents.


    Its enormous wings twisted and swept through the air, like two huge Wing Blades slashing frantically at Li Yuan.


    The two great Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents, although shocked by the terrifying aura the ''human Prime Warrior'' had unleashed,


    being accustomed to living as overlords on Ming Mountain and as one of the Three Great Beast Emperor clans,


    were not daunted by their low insight. In their hearts, Second Rank life was absolutely inferior to Third Order life, so naturally, they were not afraid of Li Yuan.


    "Give me."


    "Disperse!" Li Yuan''s eyes were ice-cold, and he was roaring in his heart.


    In an instant, the vast earthy yellow and green streams combined and swept through, blocking the majority of the black fog outside of the domain. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire


    As for the remaining bit of poison fog? It couldn''t affect Li Yuan at all, who was wearing the star garment.


    The protective battle garment shielded not just against direct physical attacks but also against toxins, spiritual attacks, and many other aspects.


    All-around protection.


    The protective battle garment forged by the Ancient Torch Divine specifically for his anticipated ''successor'' at the Second Rank was naturally extraordinary.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan''s killing intent soared to the skies as he tightly gripped the Black Chen Spear in his hand, already having pierced through the terrible black fog and engaged in battle with the roaring green Flying Serpent.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The dazzling and terrifying spear light fully erupted, its might so unrivaled that it easily blocked the attack of the green Flying Serpent.


    Following closely, the fearsome spear light swept across the vast sky, directly tearing through the layers of water currents stirred by the green Flying Serpent, and then it directly ripped apart the giant wings of its adversary.


    Countless droplets of blood splattered!!


    "Aaah~~"


    The green Flying Serpent raised its head to the sky, letting out a pained roar as it struggled frantically, trying to escape.


    But Li Yuan had it firmly entwined.


    "Boom!"


    The long spear thrust down, its dreadful power bursting forth, instantly leaving terrifying wounds on the body of the green Flying Serpent.


    "In terms of strength, you two combined are not even a match for Wu Sihai who I have defeated," Li Yuan had already realized this.


    In terms of life level, these two Flying Serpents were both at the 32nd level, comparable to Wu Sihai whom he had already slain.


    Their skills'' comprehension was not weak either.


    But!!


    These two Flying Serpents hadn''t deployed any Star Techniques, or maybe the Star Techniques they used were too weak, all subdued, preventing Li Yuan from perceiving them at all.


    "It makes sense."


    "Being trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm for years without much inheritance, and considering that even Third Layer Star Techniques would at least require a powerful Demigod to have a chance of creating," Li Yuan understood this point.


    Star Technique, in essence, was an explosive utilization of the mysteries of heaven and earth, integrated with the body''s Star Meridian and Origin Power.


    It would be necessary to step into the threshold of the laws before having the hope of researching and creating Star Marks, thereby inventing Star Techniques.


    "Annihilate!"


    With the Black Chen Spear in hand, aside from not unleashing his Phantom Body, Li Yuan was absolutely putting his all into the attack, striking at his opponent with full force.


    ...


    This was undeniably a heart-stirring great battle, making Wu Manong, An Yongya, and the others considerably nervous.


    Especially when the two great Flying Serpents suddenly twisted and cooperated to envelop Li Yuan completely in the center and tried to constrict him, they were even more on edge.


    They worried that Li Yuan would be completely strangled to death.


    The constricting ability of snakes is indeed terrifying!


    But in the next moment.


    "Bang~" Suddenly, with a terrible explosive sound, the head of the black Flying Serpent burst open, and a black figure soared into the sky, with snake brain tissue, fresh blood, bone fragments, and flesh scattering everywhere.


    Whew~


    The large body of the black Flying Serpent fell lifelessly towards the earth.


    "Whoosh!"


    Another spear light tore through the vast sky like lightning, piercing into the already grievously injured eye socket of the green Flying Serpent, instantly breaking through the skull, which was shredded into pulp in an instant.


    The large body of the green Snake followed suit, falling powerlessly as well.


    "Rumble~"


    "Boom!" The two giant Flying Heaven-level Flying Serpents fell one after another onto the ground, instantly causing the earth to shake and crack, with countless terrifying airwaves surging in all directions.


    The two great Flying Heaven-level Flying Serpents, dead!!

    ```"[You have slain a Third Rank creature, obtaining Spiritual Nutrient]." A Divine Palace notification flashed by.


    Seeing this scene, the group of human warriors fleeing across the wilderness, as well as people like Wu Manong who were watching the battle through the war machine''s projection, were all quite excited and thrilled.


    We''ve won!


    The Spirit Spear, once again, proved its strength through action.


    A level 32 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast? They had all condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth; even without practicing any formidable Star Techniques, their strength far exceeded that of a normal True Intent Prime Warrior.


    However, facing the Spirit Spear, two against one, they were all quickly slain in an extremely short time.


    In the void, Li Yuan remained calm.


    Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire


    If he wasn''t worried about provoking a full-scale war and triggering the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to go on a frenzied killing spree against the fleeing human warriors, Li Yuan would have taken action long ago.


    After all, once a full-scale war erupted, with hundreds of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attacking, Li Yuan''s strength, no matter how formidable, wouldn''t be enough to protect all the fleeing humans.


    "No choice."


    "If they seek death and refuse to retreat, then I can''t hold back, I just hope it doesn''t trigger a war for the time being"


    "Wait until all fleeing warriors return to Bright Moon Base, Ming Heart Base." Li Yuan mused in his mind, his eyes flickering with a murderous intent: "Also wait until the ordinary warriors from the two bases have mostly retreated back to Xia Country, then I can take action without any reservations."


    When killing those two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents, Li Yuan didn''t even use his Phantom Body.


    Li Yuan, with the ''Shadow Domain'' deployed, was in his strongest state, which was also why he had the confidence to battle the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    "Huff!"


    With a thought, Li Yuan''s Divine Sense swept over the corpses of the two large Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents below, thoroughly investigating them.


    "Hmm? They actually have Storage Treasures? And their flesh and blood fused with body armor? No wonder they were so hard to kill." Li Yuan thought to himself, a trace of caution rising in his heart.


    From the Seven Star Civilization records, Li Yuan knew that creating Storage Treasures was extremely difficult; most Demigods couldn''t do it... Typically, Storage Treasures were mass-produced by divine beings.


    How could the native powerhouses of the Mingxu Star Realm possess Storage Magical Treasures?


    Li Yuan, with his powerful spiritual power, rapidly broke through the spiritual imprint on the surface of the Storage Treasure.


    He directly delved inside for a meticulous inquiry.


    All the items inside were left by the black Flying Serpents, not appearing to be remnants from fallen warriors of either the Seven Star or Tianliang Civilizations.


    "These aren''t standardized."


    "They also don''t seem to be Storage Magical Treasures left by fallen warriors of our Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization." Li Yuan frowned.


    Having this Storage Treasure and combining it with the information about the treasure in the depths of Ming Mountain that Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji had conveyed,


    Li Yuan suddenly had many speculations in his mind.


    "First, continue the patrol." Li Yuan''s figure flickered, and he vanished into the distance as a streak of light.


    ...


    When the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents perished,


    Thousands of kilometers away, at the towering Ming Mountain that reached thousands of kilometers high, the mountain range stretched skyward, many valleys between the mountains spanning tens of kilometers wide... If one looked up close, they would feel as if Ming Mountain was an endlessly extending Pillar of Heaven.


    Midway up Ming Mountain, there lie a broad lake, spanning tens of kilometers. On the small island in the center of the lake, a simple and ancient palace was built.


    Many gigantic Flying Serpents lived around the lake, with many exceeding eighty meters in length.


    In the Flying Serpent Clan, a length of over eighty meters typically signified reaching the Flying Heaven Level.


    Here was the dwelling place of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain, and the stronghold of the Flying Serpent royal clan. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The palace interior was dark and damp, with each corridor exceptionally vast to allow free passage for the Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.


    Within a super-large hall deep in the palace, a huge crystal sphere hovered in the void.


    Within the crystal sphere, many purple dots flickered, densely packed and numbering in the hundreds.


    A massive black serpent, its body coiled, lay there with spread wings, silently resting.


    Suddenly!!


    "Buzz~" The crystal sphere above burst out with dazzling red light, followed by waves of light surging outward in all directions.


    "What''s happening?" The black serpent quickly lifted its head, its cold, snake-like eyes flashing with shock.


    The next moment!


    Whoosh~


    The crystal sphere released countless rays of light, instantly forming a massive screen of light projection on the outside, which displayed the head of a green serpent.


    Atop the green serpent''s head, there was a strikingly noticeable horn, as if piercing the skies.


    "Your Majesty!" The black serpent lowered its head, bowing respectfully.


    The green serpent in the projection was none other than one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain¡ªthe Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    "Hei Guang, the Soul Crystal Ball just alerted me that Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu have died." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke with a deep voice: "And it transmitted their final battle scenes before death."


    Hum~


    The crystal sphere once again emitted light, forming another light screen projection, which revealed Li Yuan in battle against the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.


    The battle proceeded at an extremely fast pace.


    Soon, the projection ended.


    "Such a formidable human." The black serpent was quite shocked: "Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu had both condensed the True Intent of Earth and Water and stepped into the mid-stage of Flying Heaven, yet they were killed so quickly by him?"


    "His strength is likely comparable to a level 33, making him one of the strongest human warriors we have encountered so far." The black serpent declared solemnly: "Only that human warrior trapped in the ''Divine Land'' can be compared to him."


    "In this war against human forces, how many Beast Kings have fallen?" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke slowly.


    "Reporting to Your Majesty, including Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu, a total of eight Flying Heaven Beast Kings have fallen." The black serpent reported respectfully.


    Through the Soul Crystal Ball, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had a clear understanding of the casualties among his Flying Heaven Level subordinates.


    The Soul Crystal Ball is a very special treasure.


    It''s somewhat similar to Gu You''s ''Spiritual Lamp'', although its sensing and inquiry range is far less than that of the Spiritual Lamp, it possesses other marvelous uses, allowing the departed to send back images of their last moments before death to the Soul Crystal Ball.

    ```Thus, it was possible to understand the enemy''s methods.


    "The human who killed Hei Qing, Qing Yanyu, seems to be just a Prime Warrior, yet his potential is terrifying... Pass on his information to other Beast Kings and try to avoid this human Martial Artist as much as possible," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor said.


    "I am currently in the Divine Land with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, hunting down that human Martial Artist. I can''t return for now, so don''t provoke this newly emerged human Martial Artist," the phantom formed by the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke softly, "Now that many of the human civilization''s frontier bases have been destroyed... Humans should not dare to approach Ming Mountain again."


    "Order all the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts to stand guard on the periphery, and don''t continue the ambushes," he commanded.


    "Wait for my return before we launch the decisive battle, and completely destroy their last base," he added.


    "Yes," the Black Snake said respectfully.


    As the Beast King most trusted by the Beast Emperor, his position in Ming Mountain was extremely high.


    Likewise, he would unconditionally obey the commands of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    "Emperor!"


    "The other Beast Kings are fine," Black Snake continued with his head bowed, his voice deep, "But Hei Jing is the blood brother of Prince Qing Sheng. I''m afraid that in a fit of rage, Prince Qing Sheng might not listen to advice and attack recklessly for revenge."


    "Qing Sheng?" the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor frowned slightly. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    By nature, serpents were lustful, and as a Beast Emperor, he had countless offspring.


    However, the bloodline of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was not very strong. After many trials and opportunities, he finally broke through in the Divine Land and became a Beast Emperor.


    Most of his offspring remained at the First Rank, very few could break through to the Second Rank... and in the end, only Qing Sheng stepped into the Third Rank, thus he was also deeply favored by him.


    His favoritism also cultivated the arrogant and domineering mentality of the ''Qing Sheng Beast King.''


    In the past, the Mingxu Star Realm was just so big that no major disaster could be caused, and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor rarely managed his children.


    But now, the situation was clearly different.


    "The Chi Yen Beast King is with him for his personal protection, right?" the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor asked in a low voice.


    "Correct," Black Snake could not help but nod.


    Under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, there were Three Great Beast King leaders¡ªHei Guang, Chi Yen, Lei Hui.


    Each one of them was far stronger than the deceased Hei Jing Beast King and others. These Three Great Beast King leaders could even withstand the Beast Emperor for quite a while.


    "Command Chi Yen to protect him carefully."


    "Without trials, how can one grow."


    "For Qing Sheng to reach your level, he must undergo more trials," said the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor slowly, "Just make sure to caution him and Chi Yen not to strike at the human''s main city... that Origin Power Weapon is likely the ''Fourth Rank Origin Power Weapon'' mentioned in the Divine Land. Even I, facing it head-on, would only have a dead end."


    A shock went through Hei Guang Beast King''s heart¡ªwas its power really that great?


    But he did not doubt the words of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors, having explored the Divine Land for many years... the many secrets they knew far surpassed those of the Beast Kings.


    ...


    About ten thousand kilometers away from Bright Moon Base, there was an even larger and quiet expansive lake.


    Boom!


    The once tranquil lake suddenly churned, followed by a green Flying Serpent, resembling a dragon, roaring out of the water.


    "Roar~~"


    The Green Snake howled to the heavens, filled with unprecedented fury, and in his eyes flickered a trace of pain: "Hei Jing! My brother!"


    He was the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s only Flying Heaven Level offspring¡ªthe Qing Sheng Beast King.


    Though he was extremely spoiled by the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Qing Sheng Beast King preferred not to stay at Ming Mountain. Instead, he moved to live freely in this large lake, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Ming Mountain.


    During the past hundred years or so, Hei Jing Beast King was his only brother and close friend.


    Now.


    His only brother was dead!!


    "Kill!"


    "Kill! I will slaughter all these humans!" the Qing Sheng Beast King erupted in a series of low growls, and in his mind''s eye, an image of a black silhouette holding a Long Spear flashed.


    According to Hei Guang Beast King''s transmission, this human Martial Artist was the perpetrator.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom~" In a distant mountain peak, suddenly flames erupted violently, and a colossal figure, more than forty meters tall, entirely red, without a single hair on its body, and resembling a rock giant, stepped over the void and approached.


    Flames enveloped its body, and wherever it went, the lake water boiled tumultuously.


    "Qing Sheng," the rock giant''s voice was majestic, "Calm down. Your father has given orders, the forces behind these humans are beyond our imagination, their superhuman enemies far surpass your father, and the only reason they can''t enter our world is due to the limitations of heaven and earth. Don''t provoke them thoroughly."


    "Uncle Chi Yen, I can''t bear it. I must kill him!!" The Qing Sheng Beast King, with his huge serpentine eyes blood-red, said, "They''re the invaders, they''re the ones encroaching on our territory¡ªwhy should we endure?"


    "Silly boy."


    "There''s no such thing as right or wrong in this world¡ªthere is only the strong and the weak," Chi Yen Beast King shook his head, "Be patient. Once your father becomes a Demigod, he will naturally sweep them away."


    In fact.


    Decades ago, the forces native to the Mingxu Star Realm had already noticed the existence of the Tianliang Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization... but the native forces had been enduring all this time.


    Only when the entrance to the Star Realm was upgraded and human Martial Artists sneaked into the Divine Land did the Seven Star Civilization and Tianliang Civilization begin their mad expansion and war, which finally made the native forces unable to remain idle.


    "How many more years will it be until my father becomes the legendary Demigod? By then, this human will likely have returned to their world long ago," the Qing Sheng Beast King growled, "If I don''t kill him, I will not be content."


    Suddenly, the Qing Sheng Beast King looked at Chi Yen Beast King, "Uncle Chi Yen, help me."


    "Just kill this human, and I will stop," the Qing Sheng Beast King fixed his gaze on Chi Yen Beast King.


    Chi Yen Beast King sighed internally.


    ```

 Chapter 302 The Beast Emperors Command! Level 37 Spiritual Power (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3

    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor often cultivated in the Divine Land and has always been mentoring the Qing Sheng Beast King... Their relationship was extremely close.As for the Hei Jing Beast King? He too was considered his junior.


    "Agreed,"


    "The Beast Emperor only ordered us not to invade the human main city," said Chi Yen Beast King, "I will gather another group of Beast Kings... specifically to ambush him."


    "Good," the Qing Sheng Beast King''s eyes lit up.


    He was well aware that even Hei Jing had died at the hands of that human Martial Artist; if he relied solely on himself, winning was impossible.


    But with Chi Yen Beast King''s help, there was hope.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King remembered what his father had said before, that Chi Yen Beast King was the most likely in the entire world to become the fourth Beast Emperor.


    "However, once this human is slain, you must return with me to Ming Mountain," Chi Yen Beast King intoned deeply.


    "No problem."


    Very soon.


    Chi Yen Beast King left the lake and quickly went to summon other Flying Heaven Level Beast Kings.


    ...


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had always been at the Bright Moon Base, the central axis of the Bright Heart Base, patrolling an area of thousands of kilometers without a moment''s rest.


    And top talents like Wu Manong, Tavares, and Luo Chan, because they needed to protect the base, were constantly taking turns to sortie.


    Their individual strengths might be far inferior to Li Yuan''s.


    But they were highly efficient at killing ordinary first and second rank Exotic Beasts; and in terms of protecting the number of fleeing people, the total was far greater than that of Li Yuan. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even when facing Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, warriors like Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Luo Chan, when grouped in teams of three, could also easily handle many dangers.


    Li Yuan was indeed the strongest and saved the most people.


    But if it were only him alone, he wouldn''t be able to save everyone.


    ...


    "This war in the Mingxu Star Realm is a rare great battle for our Seven Star Alliance,"


    "Powerful Flying Heaven Warriors cannot enter the Second Level Star Realm,"


    "We rely on those who are willing to stay forever in the Star Realm, those who break through in the Star Realm. They disregard their own safety, risking their lives to contend with powerful Alien Races, with Li Yang, Mai Yi, Lei Meng..."


    "Also stepping up are the peerless geniuses of our Seven Star Alliance. They are merely Prime Warriors, but their strength is capable of contending with Flying Heaven, including the number one Prime Warrior with a ''Spirit Gun'', from the Martial Divine Star Realm Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, Luo Chan, Jiang Zai..."


    "They are the heroes of our entire civilization,"


    The promotional video about the Mingxu Star Realm made by the Seven Star Alliance also caused the popularity and renown of this great group of powerful individuals to soar continuously across Blue Star and the Seven Great Planets.


    The large-scale war in the Mingxu Star Realm spread quickly not only across Blue Star but through the Seven Great Planets as well.


    Countless civilians were following this war.


    The Seven Star Alliance, a population of over a hundred billion.


    They might inhabit different planets, different countries, and might have some competition on normal days... But the history of hundreds of years had taught everyone in the civilization.


    When facing foreign enemies, we must unite!


    ...


    September 3rd.


    After many days of continuous battles, most of the warriors who had escaped from war bases and frontier outposts had successively arrived at the Bright Moon Base, the Bright Heart Base.


    The ''Retreat Operation'' of the Seven Star Civilization was nearing its end.


    At the same time, the Tianliang Civilization, having been at a disadvantage in the early stages of the war, with an expansion range far smaller than the Seven Star Civilization... thus, their great retreat had been basically completed.


    Tianliang Star.


    The sole main star of the Tianliang Civilization, much larger than Feixing, housed a population of hundreds of billions.


    In the highest conference room of a towering skyscraper, a multitude of people were bustling around.


    And at the end of the conference room, nearly ten presences exuding strong divine auras gathered.


    "Most people inside the Mingxu Star Realm have already completely withdrawn and have begun to consolidate," a blonde woman said coldly, "The plan to leave only the necessary main combat force as the final defense has reached the point of decision on whether to continue fighting or to give up."


    "We have in fact already lost the battle with the Seven Star Civilization,"


    "Even the Saint Heir Shefu, who broke through to Flying Heaven Realm, couldn''t stop Yu Jinghe, how could we win?"


    "Now, the indigenous forces within the Mingxu Star Realm are more powerful than we could have imagined," the Demigods spoke in succession.


    Shefu was one of the Eighteen Saint Heirs of the Tianliang Civilization.


    He was originally a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    Later, with Yu Jinghe being too dominant, Shefu chose to break through to ''Flying Heaven Realm'' in the Mingxu Star Realm, but he still lost to Yu Jinghe in combat and barely escaped with his life.


    "Yu Jinghe is a major threat, but it will be very difficult for him to directly break through our main base," said the blonde woman coldly, "The greater threat comes from a new genius called Spirit Gun who has recently emerged in the Seven Star Civilization."


    "Just now, you all saw the promotions from the Seven Star Alliance; Spirit Gun is clearly stronger than Yu Jinghe,"


    This group of Tianliang Civilization Demigods all felt the pressure.


    One Yu Jinghe already suppressed a host of Prime Warrior Saint Heirs, and now there emerged an even more powerful Spirit Gun.


    "Since everyone feels we can''t win," the blonde woman said coldly, "let''s accept the invitation from the Myriad Demons Civilization."


    "Summon Lu Lei and Rolbis,"


    "The Myriad Demons Civilization is after all our mother civilization, letting them seize the treasures of Ming Mountain would be better than letting the Seven Star Civilization take them," the blonde woman said.


    The group of Demigods pondered.


    The blood of the Myriad Demons Civilization flowed in all of them, and the Tianliang Civilization had always been subservient to the Myriad Demons Civilization... but over the long years, they too had yearned for a Divine of their own civilization, who could sit on an equal footing with the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But reality had dealt them a hard blow.


    Soon after.


    The Tianliang Civilization officially extended an invitation to the Myriad Demons Civilization and detailed everything about the ''Ruins Star Civilization.''

 Chapter 302 The Beast Emperors Command! Level 37 Spiritual Power (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_4

    Tianliang Civilization didn''t have to wait too long.Soon after, the upper echelons of the Myriad Demons Civilization sent back a message, "We are gathering Prime Warriors with talent and will arrive as quickly as possible."


    Between Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization, there is an intercommunication through the Fourth Level Star Realm.


    ...


    The Seven Star Civilization naturally was not aware of the changes to the Star Realm''s native forces, but some actions of the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization... The Seven Star Civilization''s intelligence system, however, had sensed something was amiss.


    It even directly obtained a lot of intelligence.


    Inside the Mingxu Star Realm.


    About three thousand kilometers away from the Bright Moon Base was a mountain peak, under layers of dense forests, atop a huge rock.


    Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the giant stone.


    As more and more fugitive Martial Artists returned to the two major bases, the frequency of Li Yuan''s rescues also decreased, often taking several hours to receive a single distress message.


    Therefore, in his spare time, Li Yuan would continue his training.


    One battle after another.


    The more he saw, the more he experienced, the more he slaughtered, the greater the impact on Li Yuan.


    It was also constantly honing his mental willpower.


    "Strong!"


    "I must become stronger," Li Yuan had a desire in his heart, "If my strength were powerful enough, I could in one go ascend Ming Mountain and make those Three Great Beast Emperors beg for mercy."


    "I could also directly quell all conflicts within the Second Rank Star Realm."


    "Allowing countless commoners and Martial Artists within the civilization to no longer suffer the horrors of war," Li Yuan silently recited in his heart. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At this moment, he was practicing the "Visualization Method" like he had in the past.


    His consciousness gathered and entered the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, condensing into a conscious entity, which, through the Great Sun Jade Platform, endured the scorching of the solar blaze.


    Over the years, with the continuous strengthening of his spiritual power and willpower, each time Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method, his conscious entity got a bit closer to the sun, always striving to reach his own limit.


    Striving to temper himself with all his might.


    "Pursuing the limit, never slacking in cultivation, so that if one day in the future I should fall in battle on this path, I will not regret it in my dying moments," Li Yuan''s mental will became stronger and stronger through tempering.


    My heart has no regrets! This was one of Li Yuan''s creeds.


    Suddenly.


    Whir~ As Li Yuan, who had repeatedly endured the intense blaze, suddenly experienced a fierce shaking of his spiritual fluctuations, sweeping in every direction... his spiritual power had changed.


    "[Your spiritual power has increased from level 36.9 to level 37.0]" A Divine Palace prompt flashed by.


    Li Yuan''s spiritual power had been at level 36.9 for quite a while, repeatedly honing himself until the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Finally, he broke through this crucial bottleneck.


    He had reached level 37!


    "[Your spiritual power has reached level 37, raising the limit of your Spiritual Awakening Level from 45% to 50%]"


    "[You have slain a Third Rank creature, breaking the Divine Palace''s shackles, raising your Spiritual Awakening limit to 60%]"


    "[You have slain Third Rank creatures multiple times, accumulating a large amount of Spiritual Nature nourishment, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 50.1%]"


    "[Your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 50%, you can receive the second Spiritual Guidance]" Four consecutive Divine Palace prompts directly flashed across Li Yuan''s vision.


    They left Li Yuan completely dazed.


    The breakthrough in spiritual power, the Spiritual Awakening limit reaching 60%, he had anticipated this since the battle at the Rob Sea when he first killed a Flying Heaven Level Alien Race and was reminded.


    But!


    After the limit increased, his Spiritual Awakening Level soared directly from 45% to 50.1%?


    Directly initiating the second Spiritual Guidance? This!!


    Suddenly, Li Yuan remembered that every time he had killed a Third Rank creature before, there was a prompt about obtaining Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    "Could it be..."


    "Every time I kill a Third Rank creature, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace acquires Spiritual Nature nourishment, but it was restricted by my Spiritual Awakening limit, unable to immediately nourish me? Now that my spiritual power has broken through, all this accumulated Spiritual Nature nourishment has been released at once?" Li Yuan speculated in his heart.


    This guess was likely very close to the truth.


    "Spiritual Guidance?" Li Yuan harbored a hint of anticipation in his heart, "The first Spiritual Guidance allowed me to awaken the first Perfect Star Vein, what about the second Spiritual Guidance?"


    Li Yuan was already vaguely sensing a change within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with a peculiar force hidden on the second floor of the Divine Palace, ready to erupt at any moment.


    However.


    Li Yuan was not in a hurry, as he was suppressing this force.


    Because the process of Spiritual Guidance would take a long time, and the current situation was not very appropriate.


    "Wait!"


    "In another day or two, all evacuations should be over," Li Yuan thought, "Then I''ll return to the Bright Moon Base for quiet cultivation and complete the Spiritual Guidance."


    Li Yuan strove to calm his inner heart.


    After more than ten minutes.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan suddenly noticed a vibration on his smart ring and glanced down, "A distress call?"


    "This direction, 1300 kilometers? Let''s go!" Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.


    Meanwhile, on the map display, another dazzling green dot was also rapidly approaching.


    This dot was not moving as fast as Li Yuan, but it was closer to the destination than Li Yuan.

    Experience tales at My Virtual Library EmpireWhoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and dashed across the sky and earth, while simultaneously monitoring the information changing on the smart bracelet.


    "Hmm?"


    "It''s Wu Manong, and Teacher Li Yang, Lei Meng," Li Yuan thought to himself, "One True Intent Prime Warrior, two Flying Heaven Warriors."


    The ones rushing over included not only him but also a Flying Heaven Level team.


    According to regulations, aside from Li Yuan alone, other rescue teams should consist of three Flying Heaven Level warriors to provide mutual assistance.


    "My flight speed is faster than Teacher Li Yang''s, but they''re less than 700 kilometers away. By the time I get there, the battle will likely be over," Li Yuan thought.


    Although he thought as much, Li Yuan''s speed did not slow down in the slightest.


    Despite no encounters with Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts in the past few days, Li Yuan remained ever vigilant.


    War brooks no jokes!


    Only the bravest, who are also the most cautious and treat every seemingly ordinary battle as the most crucial one, have the hope of surviving to the end.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan approached at extreme speed.


    ...


    Hundreds of kilometers away from Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three streaks of light were also flying at high speed¡ªWu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng were in motion.


    Among the three, Wu Manong was a Prime Warrior, but he was actually the strongest.


    "The Spirit Gun is making his way here at full speed," Wu Manong spoke in a deep tone, "We have to do our best too. We can''t let the Spirit Gun handle everything alone."


    "Right," Lei Meng nodded.


    "After all, we are Flying Heaven Warriors too," Li Yang said with a smile.


    After several days of battle, they had all come to deeply admire the Spirit Gun.


    Combat rescue 24 hours a day without a hint of slack, how could they not be admired?


    Similarly, with such a strong fighter at the forefront, it also motivated them to invest themselves wholeheartedly into battle.


    Full-force rescue.


    ...


    On a vast and desolate plain, a large group of fleeing human warriors were being violently besieged by numerous flying exotic beasts.


    Each and every flying exotic beast was at least of Level 18, and many were Second Rank Exotic Beasts.


    Each one spread its wings, shading the sky and covering the sun.


    The two sides were engaged in fierce combat, trees were knocked down one after another, the earth trembled, and giant rocks flew chaotically.


    "Hold on!"


    "We''ve called for help."


    "Everyone hold on, we''re already very close to Bright Moon Base, Flying Heaven Warriors are rushing to our aid at full speed," the lead warrior clad in silver battle garment shouted urgently, "As long as we can hold out for ten minutes, help will arrive."


    Whoosh!


    A slash of the knife, and the burly man severed a claw of a flying exotic beast.


    As the strongest among the group of fleeing warriors, a Level 28 Prime Warrior, he was incredibly powerful.


    But no matter how strong, he still couldn''t fly and couldn''t protect everyone.


    "Puchi~"


    A flying exotic beast plunged violently from the sky, its terrifying claws crushing a Level 19 warrior''s head like a watermelon... Many human warriors were killed.


    In such a brutal fight for survival, even a single minute seemed like an eternity, let alone ten.


    ... Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The human warriors engaged in the fierce battle on the plain were unaware that beneath them, deep within the ground.


    A terrifying force was lurking. Many powerful Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts were hidden there.


    "The human warriors have called for help."


    "Yu Wu, instruct your subordinates to slow down the slaughter," one communicated through Divine Sense.


    "Yes! If they''re killed too quickly, the human Flying Heaven Warriors might not come," the Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts exchanged thoughts through Divine Sense.


    And among this large group of Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts, the leader was the enormous green Flying Serpent¡ªQing Sheng Beast King.


    He was lying flat in a dark river hundreds of meters below ground, letting the river water wash over his body.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King''s eyes gleamed red, filled with a murderous intent.


    These past few days, his only desire was to kill the enemy and avenge his brother Hei Jing Beast King; he had been waiting for the opportunity.


    Finally, he received communication from the Chi Yen Beast King, who had summoned a large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    He immediately took action.


    "I wonder which Flying Heaven Warrior is coming."


    "I hope it''s the Long Spear Warrior, it must be!" the Qing Sheng Beast King chanted in his heart.


    Their chosen ambush location was an area frequently visited by the Long Spear human warrior, as gathered from intelligence.


    Time ticked by, second by second.


    The battle on the plain gradually neared its end. The human warriors fought resiliently, suffering heavy casualties, but also inflicted astonishing damage on the group of flying exotic beasts.


    Especially that Level 28 Prime Warrior, who in the heat of combat successively killed two Second Rank flying exotic beasts.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three terrifying streaks of light soared through the high sky, especially one fiery streak, which was the most fearsome. As it approached, countless flames spontaneously erupted in the void.


    The True Meaning of Fire! Domain!


    It swept away everything.


    Puchi~! Putch~! The flying exotic beasts, in utter terror, tried to flee, but facing an enraged Wu Manong, where could they run to? In an instant confrontation, Wu Manong slaughtered most of them.


    The few Second Rank flying exotic beasts, possessing great Origin Power, could not be suppressed by the Domain alone... but facing three Flying Heaven Level warriors, they had no chance to resist.


    In the blink of an eye, the initially frighteningly numerous and fearsome hundreds of flying exotic beasts were completely swept away.


    This is the power of the Flying Heaven Level!


    Especially after mastering the Domain of True Intent, slaughtering First Rank and Second Rank lives was an absolute rout.


    "Flying Heaven Warriors."


    "So powerful."


    "We''re saved." The silver-armored burly man and the dozen or so surviving human warriors had looks of excitement and felt a wave of relief wash over them.

 Chapter 303 Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_2

    I survived."You guys continue..." A curly-haired, skinny Lei Meng was looking down, about to speak when suddenly he seemed to sense something, his face dramatically changing, "Run!"


    It wasn''t just him!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Wu Manong and Li Yang were both extraordinary in strength. At that moment, the terrifying bursts of Origin Power from deep underground caused their faces to dramatically change.


    The next second, the three powerhouses soared into the sky, lightning-fast, away from the ground.


    The anomaly happened too quickly, and those terrifying bursts of Origin Power even frightened all three of them.


    "Boom!"


    Like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, a terrifyingly huge stone hand burning with flame suddenly tore through the earth, and immediately after, an imposing and boundless figure burst forth from the ground.


    Boom!


    Splutter! Splutter! Endless flames swept in all directions, instantly enveloping hundreds of meters around, and those human Martial Artists who had just thought they were saved, including a powerful Prime Warrior, were consumed by the roaring flames, their bodies instantly burnt to nothing.


    In a single thought, all were dead!


    The powerful Origin Power triggered the Domain Star Technique, combined with the comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire, making this move terrifyingly effective.


    Even an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, if struck by this move, would suffer severe injuries.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Apart from the appearance of the Chi Yen Beast King, almost in an instant, various Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts emitting terrifying auras burst forth from the earth within a radius of more than ten kilometers.


    Some were Flying Serpents, some were covered in feathers and scales like golden eagles, and others took the form of walking beasts, each suspended in the void.


    A total of thirteen Flying Heaven level Exotic Beasts vaguely formed a huge encirclement.


    They trapped Li Yang, Lei Meng, and Wu Manong, who had just flown into the void, within it.


    "This?"


    "It''s an ambush! They''re here to specifically target us?" Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng were somewhat stupefied, feeling the surging aura emitted by the large group of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts around them, involuntarily experiencing a hint of fear in their hearts.


    Especially that flame giant, whose imposing aura was truly terrifying.


    The three of them understood instantly.


    They were not on the same level of strength at all.


    "It''s the ''Chi Yen Beast King'' under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, suspected to be a level 34 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast, as mentioned in the intelligence," Wu Manong had already made a judgment.


    "We can''t hold them off."


    "Run!"


    Though it sounds slow, it all happened in an instant.


    Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng leaped away to escape, not bothering to mourn for the dead human warriors, fleeing without pause, transforming into three beams of light, each darting off in different directions.


    The enemy was too strong, beyond their match.


    If they stayed together, they would only be wiped out in one fell swoop.


    While fleeing for their lives, the three powerhouses also sent out calls for help. In their hearts, there was still a ray of hope¡ªthe Spirit Gun!


    According to the location indicator, the Spirit Gun was very close to them, at most twenty seconds away.


    "Human Martial Artists!"


    "Take action, kill." The Chi Yen Beast King''s voice was profound, issuing the order while his massive body moved with incredible agility, like a huge meteor of flame, directly charging at Wu Manong.


    He had been observing just now.


    A Prime Warrior with True Intent Comprehension? Naturally, he was his first target, of far greater value than the other two ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill! Kill them all." The other Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, having burst from the ground, also rushed towards Li Yang and Lei Meng with lightning speed.


    "Roar~"


    The gigantic blue Flying Serpent was the most murderous, its eyes fixed on Li Yang who was cutting through the Vast Sky, his body shimmering with light, "Haven''t waited for the Long Spear Warrior, then I''ll kill you first, to collect some interest."


    ...The Chi Yen Beast King was too fast. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He effortlessly broke five times the speed of sound, taking only three seconds to reach Wu Manong, his fiery giant palm ferociously striking down: "I didn''t want to start a war with your human civilization, but you''re too greedy. This is our home turf."


    "Hold on!"


    Wu Manong, this unparalleled genius from the Seven Star Civilization.


    In a life or death moment, he unleashed astonishing potential. His body grew in an instant, deploying the Body Refining Star Technique he had recently mastered, transforming into a height of three meters, followed by holding a giant shield in each hand.


    With all his might, he channeled the Mysteries of True Intent! Origin Power!


    All of it concentrated on the shields that had been his main weapon for a long time.


    The fiery giant palm, blotting out the sky like a huge mountain, ferociously struck down.


    The two giant shields, however, aimed to block every attack.


    The two collided in an instant.


    "Bang~"


    The explosion was like the sky and earth splitting, the surrounding air vibrating and bursting. Crimson blood was seen floating in the air, staining the sky!


    The Chi Yen giant felt as if he had smacked his palm against two hard pebbles, aching intensely.


    And Wu Manong had been sent flying backward, the terrible force passing through his Combat Armor and hitting his entire body, almost tearing his Divine Body apart, which started to crack all over.


    He had almost turned into a blood man!


    Just one exchange and Wu Manong was gravely injured. He had already taken the Origin Purple Longevity Pill, but the effects needed time to take effect, and the pace of this level of battle was far too swift.


    "Second Rank Life."


    "To withstand my strike without dying, worthy of being from a powerful civilization beyond this world. You must be one of the topmost Second Rank Lives among your people," Chi Yen Beast King spoke deeply, and as he did so, his other giant palm also thunderously came crashing down.


    Boom!


    With the burst of speed, a river of fire rushed forward, sharply compressing the air, causing a series of terrifying sonic booms, bearing down on Wu Manong.


    There was no escape. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire


    In terms of Skill Realm, Chi Yen Beast King was not inferior to Wu Manong, both coming exceedingly close to the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank.

 Chapter 303 Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_3

    In terms of Star Techniques, Wu Manong actually had a slight advantage.The key lay in the foundation, with 29.9 and 34 levels, the gap was simply too large, something that Sixth Layer Star Techniques couldn''t make up for.


    "I can''t die!!"


    "Can''t die!"


    "I haven''t become a Flying Heaven Warrior yet, let alone a Demigod, how can I die here!!" Wu Manong roared in his heart. At this moment, his survival instinct was fully triggered.


    In the throes of life and death, countless insights into the Mystery of Fire that he had collected over time rushed to the forefront of his mind.


    They burst forth completely.


    Wu Manong knew that if he couldn''t withstand it, he would die.


    "Boom!!!"


    Wu Manong''s skin suddenly erupted with dazzling flames and glows of light, and around him, the void manifested threads of flames so powerful that even the Chi Yen Beast King''s Flame Domain momentarily receded.


    At that moment, Wu Manong''s aura leaped forward dramatically, surging to an astonishing level.


    Wu Manong moved his shields like lightning and shifted them in front of him.


    "Peng~"


    Another terrifying collision, Wu Manong was once again sent flying backward, fresh blood spurting from his mouth.


    "He''s not dead!"


    "Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank technique? Did he make a breakthrough?" The Chi Yen Beast King instantly noticed the change in Wu Manong''s aura, as well as that terror-inspiring, burning flame power.


    A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.


    Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank meant Intermediate Rank True Intent. It represented a new level of comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire... Such a level of comprehension was already at the peak level of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Once a technique reached such a stage, given enough time, one could cultivate to Level 35 unimpeded.


    For someone like the Chi Yen Beast King, who had cultivated for over two hundred years and still hadn''t fully taken this step,


    Once he did, he would become the fourth Beast Emperor of Ming Mountain.


    And now, a Second Rank Life had made the breakthrough? How could he not be envious?


    "Breakthrough?"


    "Even if you''ve broken through, you will still die!" The Chi Yen Beast King''s killing intent became even stronger. Stepping across the vast sky, he charged toward Wu Manong again, and with his palms coming together, he attempted to crush Wu Manong completely like swatting a mosquito.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    The terrible roaring explosions and the surging flames... In the deadly confrontation, Wu Manong, who had just made a breakthrough, exerted all his strength to withstand the Chi Yen Beast King''s six strikes.


    Each strike made his injuries worse, and the Origin Violet Longevity Pill couldn''t heal him that quickly.


    His breakthrough in the Mysteries of True Intent had raised his overall strength from the original Level 31 to Level 32... If he had made this breakthrough before the battle, he would have had a chance to withstand more than a hundred moves against the Level 34 Chi Yen Beast King.


    He definitely could have lasted until Li Yuan arrived.


    After all, the Chi Yen Beast King specialized in only one Domain Star Technique and compared to a true Level 34 Flying Heaven Warrior, his overall strength was significantly inferior.


    Only,


    In the confrontation before the breakthrough, Wu Manong was already gravely injured, which doomed him to have no further chance.


    "Drag it out!"


    "I''ve delayed this long, Li Yang and Lei Meng''s chances of survival are higher, and the Spirit Gun should be arriving soon." Wu Manong was still struggling to hold back, once again blocking the Chi Yen Beast King''s attack. One of his shields was knocked away, and his arm was shattered, blood spurting uncontrollably, his consciousness growing dim.


    Boom!


    Another palm strike came.


    Inside, Wu Manong had already found peace: "I thought I would become a Demigod in the future, renowned across the Seven Stars. It''s a pity."


    "Even after a breakthrough, I''m going to die."


    In the midst of battle, he fought with all his might for that slim chance of survival.


    When death was imminent, Wu Manong was completely calm.


    Having battled the Alien Race many times, and in this great war of the Mingxu Star Realm, not just one companion had died in battle, Wu Manong was long prepared for death, a smile even appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Old Yu, you were at Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank comprehension before, even scoffing at me... Haha, just before dying, I seem to have caught up to you, didn''t fall too far behind, right?"


    Boom!


    The fiery giant palm fiercely smashed down, and the terrifying surge of flames instantly tore Wu Manong''s body apart.


    Wu Manong, dead in combat.


    "Truly tenacious."


    "A Prime Warrior, with a technique comprehension that could reach the level of a Beast Emperor."


    "If he had advanced to Flying Heaven Level earlier, I would not have been able to kill him," the Chi Yen Beast King shook his head, thinking: "It''s a pity, these super geniuses from the Foreign Domains, fearing being trapped forever in our realm, are not willing to let their Life Levels break through. When it comes to life and death, a breakthrough is then impossible."


    To break through from a Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven Level took at least two to three days.


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King waved his hand, collecting the many items Wu Manong left behind.


    "Wu Manong is dead?"


    "Ah!" Li Yang and Lei Meng were not facing enemies that were extremely powerful.


    And as Flying Heaven Warriors, they were more robust, still desperately struggling.


    When they sensed Wu Manong''s breakthrough, both were slightly exhilarated.


    But when they saw Wu Manong killed in battle, both of their hearts trembled... A genius Prime Warrior who had broken through to Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank technique, just like that, dead in battle.

    If you choose to slaughter the Alien Race, then you must also be prepared to be killed by the Alien Race.


    ...The Chi Yen Beast King strode through the void, with overwhelming flames engulfing it, ready to kill the still desperately fleeing Li Yang, Lei Meng.


    Suddenly.


    The Chi Yen Beast King''s enormous eyes narrowed: "A man in black with a long spear? He''s arrived so quickly."


    Boom!


    In the void nearly ten kilometers away, a figure in black battle garment, holding a long spear and radiating yellow light, appeared.


    He was rushing at full speed.


    "Damn it!" Li Yuan''s eyes reddened slightly, killing intent soaring.


    He was already rushing at full speed. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    When he learned that Wu Manong and Li Yang had been attacked, he spared no effort to unleash the Great Earth Divine Body... Using the Divine Body increased his flying speed slightly, disproportionate to the Origin Power consumed.

 Chapter 303 Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_4

    At that moment, Li Yuan could not care less about the massive consumption of Origin Power.However, Li Yuan had not yet reached the battlefield when he saw Wu Manong being torn apart by that palm strike from afar.


    Subconsciously,


    Li Yuan clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on the long spear in his hand, his heart filled with even more rage.


    Wu Manong, Li Yuan did not have much interaction with him, but he vividly remembered the scene of their first meeting in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    This was a somewhat proud guy.


    His personality was not exactly likable.


    But, in every interdimensional war of the Second Level Star Realm, from the many battles in the Rob Sea that Li Yuan knew of, to the Fierce Feather Star Realm, then to the Mingxu Star Realm... Wu Manong always charged into the front lines.


    Today, he died.


    "Another one is dead," Li Yuan gritted his teeth.

    In the great war of the Mingxu Star Realm, Wu Manong was not the first top-tier powerhouse to fall.


    And he likely wasn''t the last.


    "Whoosh!"


    Li Yuan had no time for sorrow, his speed soaring to the extreme, already surpassing five times the speed of sound, and he howled as he charged at the group of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts surrounding Li Yang.


    Wu Manong had already fallen in battle, and Li Yuan would not allow Teacher Li Yang to die before his eyes.


    "Kill!" Li Yang held a long spear, fleeing while desperately defending against the attacks of as many as six Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    In just a short time, he had already sustained serious injuries.


    "Qing Sheng!"


    "It''s that extremely strong human Martial Artist, the Beast Emperor gave an order," the group of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attacking Li Yang also saw Li Yuan charging in.


    At that time, the Chi Yen Beast King had not arrived yet.


    "You three, go kill him," Qing Sheng Beast King sent a telepathic message, "Don''t engage him head-on, just entangle him for a moment, and the Chi Yen Beast King will arrive. He''s only a Second Rank Life."


    "Yes!"


    Three Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts immediately abandoned Li Yang, soaring as they lunged toward Li Yuan.


    They all knew of Li Yuan''s combat achievements; in fact, Hei Jing Beast King and Qing Yanyu Beast King were among the strongest within their Beast Emperor''s forces.


    However, in the eyes of these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, since Li Yuan took quite some time to kill Hei Jing Beast King, it suggested that he wasn''t much more powerful.


    They thought that working together, just to hold him off for a moment, would be somewhat manageable.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan''s rage was sky-high, murderous intent swirling in his eyes as he looked at the three Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attempting to block his way, and without any hesitation, he unleashed his strongest power.


    Boom!!


    Earth and Wind Domain combined! Streams of air containing terrifying power were born, enveloping a hundred-meter radius, sweeping in all directions.


    Flying Heaven Martial Artists'' Origin Power can leave the body and, combined with their Domain, can extend hundreds of meters, with some Domain Star Techniques even over a kilometer... Li Yuan was not capable of that.


    His Domain was purely drawing on the power of heaven and earth.


    But with the combination of two True Intents, and insights close to the level of a Demigod... the power he drew forth in his Domain was immensely terrifying!


    "Boom!"


    The four-legged Exotic Beast, facing Li Yuan, barely touched the range of his Domain when it felt the overwhelming power of those streams of air, which shattered its Origin Power Domain on contact.


    With astonishing binding force, it dramatically slowed its speed.


    The power of both Domains was not even on the same level.


    "This is bad." The four-legged Exotic Beast had just moved, attempting to pounce on Li Yuan.


    Swish!


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Within this domain of over a hundred meters in diameter, the real Li Yuan instantly reflected the creation of six Li Yuans¡ªSix Paths Illusionary Body!


    Sparing no time or effort, a murderous Li Yuan burst forth with all his might right from the start.


    "Kill!" All six Li Yuans shouted in unison, as six dazzling Spear Lights cut through the vast sky.


    "Pfft!"


    This four-legged Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beast barely managed to block four Spear Lights when it felt another eerie Long Spear piercing right through its solid layer of Origin Power, skin, and directly through its skull.


    Dead!


    A mere level 31 Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beast, with hardly any Star Techniques, stood no chance against Li Yuan''s all-out assault with the Black Chen Spear.


    "What?"


    "What kind of technique is this?" The other two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts that were just about to join the fray panicked at the sight.


    It was too frightening.


    This human Martial Artist was more than ten times more terrifying than described in the Beast Emperor''s orders.


    "Die!"


    Li Yuan was incredibly fast, his Domain crushing layer by layer, his six Phantom Bodies flickering and switching places, already upon these two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Fast! Too fast!


    "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Spear Light slashed through the sky, and in just one confrontation, the bodies of the other two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts were violently torn apart, their blood sprayed across the sky.

 Chapter 304 Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum

    In the blink of an eye, three Sky-Flying Level Exotic Beasts died in battle.Such a scene had completely terrified the group of their Beast Kings, Li Yuan''s strength surpassed their imagination, far exceeding what the Beast Emperor''s intelligence had indicated.


    "How can he be so strong?" Qing Sheng Beast King couldn''t believe it, "Can a Second Rank Life be this powerful?"


    These Beast Kings dared to fight Li Yuan.


    One of the most important reasons was that they believed a Second Rank Life ultimately had a limit to its strength.


    After all, the fundamentals were there.


    Not just these Beast Kings, Li Yang and Lei Meng, who had been devoting a fraction of their attention to Li Yuan, were equally shocked and exhilarated.


    "This Spirit Gun, Phantom Body techniques are truly heaven-defying; the Six Paths Illusionary Body is intertwined, making it impossible to discern the true body." Li Yang was shocked in his heart, "And his Spear Technique is also strong, one spear thrust and the sturdiest skull of a Sky-Flying Level Exotic Beast can''t even withstand it? It''s directly killed?"


    Normally, a Sky-Flying Level Life has an Origin Pill and a strong vitality, and if protected by a Third Rank Battle Garment, even a Peak Sky-Flying strong warrior may not be able to kill a Level 30 Sky-Flying in one move.


    "Watching the battle images from Rob Sea before, I felt that the might of the Spirit Gun''s Spear Technique wasn''t so terrifying." Lei Meng, who was frantically struggling to escape, was also surprised in his heart, "Can a Prime Warrior be this strong as well?" Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire


    This shattered Lei Meng''s understanding, even Yu Jinghe was far from this level of strength.


    Did the Spirit Gun hide his strength during the great battle in Rob Sea?


    Or is it that in less than two months, the Spirit Gun''s strength has advanced by leaps and bounds?


    They did not know.


    If Li Yuan were an ordinary Prime Warrior, even if his Skill Realm was so exquisite and his Spear Technique so powerful, it would not be this terrifying.


    But Li Yuan combined three Star Techniques, especially after cultivating the Great Earth Divine Body, his fundamentals truly rivaled those of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    And he has the Black Chen Spear!


    In many aspects such as weapons, techniques and others, Li Yuan was stronger than most of the Peak Sky-Flying strong warriors... It was only with the addition of Star Techniques to his fundamentals that he could unleash such formidable power.


    "Kill!" Li Yuan''s intent to kill soared to the heavens.


    After sweeping through the three major Sky-Flying Exotic Beasts, he turned into a streak of lightning and pounced towards Qing Sheng Beast King and the others.


    "Retreat!"


    "Escape~" Filled with terror, Qing Sheng Beast King and the other two desperately fled backward.


    No one wanted to test Li Yuan''s Spear Light.


    Especially Qing Sheng Beast King, he had so fervently desired to kill Li Yuan just moments ago, and now, he was fleeing even faster; a hazy layer of green light suddenly appeared around him, making his speed skyrocket, far surpassing the other two Beast Kings.


    Flying Escape Star Technique!


    With the retreat of these three major Beast Kings, Li Yang''s danger was naturally resolved.


    "Phew!"


    Li Yuan, like a gust of wind, flew past Li Yang and directly transmitted a message to him, "Li Yang, retreat quickly."


    "Alright."


    Whoosh! Already heavily injured, Li Yang knew this was not the time for pretense and, like a bolt of lightning, he crossed paths with Li Yuan and completely flew out of the attack range of this group of Beast Kings.


    Hisss~ Li Yang''s injuries were slowly healing. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Did Teacher take a life-saving Spirit Pill?" Li Yuan, sensing with his Divine Sense, had this thought flash through his mind, "He should be alright."


    "Wu Manong used one during the fierce battle, but unfortunately, it was in vain."


    In the Seven Star Civilization, there are many life-saving Spirit Pills, like the ''Origin Purple Longevity Pill'' that is most effective for Prime Warriors. As long as the head isn''t instantly crushed, it can bring someone back to life.


    Sky-Flying Warriors have similar spirit pills, but their effects are not that exaggerated.


    But!


    Even the strongest life-saving spirit pills require some time to take effect.


    Like back in Mingxu Star Realm, when Li Yuan used an Origin Purple Longevity Pill to save Liu Jing, it took several minutes for Liu Jing''s severed limbs to fully recover... It took several more hours for him to fully awaken and completely recover. (Chapter 188)


    And for someone like Wu Manong who had cultivated a powerful Divine Body, the recovery would be even slower when in a state of using the Divine Body.


    And his battle with Chi Yen Beast King, how long did it last? It wasn''t enough for the pill''s full effects to develop.


    A few seconds to bring a body on the verge of collapse back to its prime, return to peak condition, a life-saving treasure?


    Perhaps such divine treasures exist in the universe, but at least the Seven Star Civilization does not possess them, and Li Yuan has never heard of them.


    All the Semi Divine Level geniuses that Li Yuan had killed in World within Worlds, who came from Divine Body civilizations, had not possessed such rare and precious treasures either.


    As for Wu Manong breaking through to Flying Heaven?


    Skills, spiritual power, and willpower can transform in a very short time, as they are intangible.


    But the transformation of the body is very complicated, it cannot be done overnight. Like the battle in World within Worlds, when Li Yuan and Alicia advanced from Level 19 to Level 20, they both sought a quiet place and took at least several hours. (Chapter 237)


    To advance from a Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven, the Sea of Source Energy must coalesce into an Origin Pill, a process that is even more complex and somewhat dangerous. At the least, it takes two to three days, or even up to half a month. If the breakthrough process is disturbed, it results in death or cripplement, and rushing such a breakthrough on the battlefield leads to a quicker demise.


    ... "Boom!" Under Li Yuan''s full pursuit, his speed was much faster than the fleeing Beast Kings.


    Even Qing Sheng Beast King was far slower than Li Yuan.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan had already closed in on the two slower Beast Kings.


    "Die!"


    Boom boom boom~ Six Li Yuans simultaneously wielded their Long Spears, and powerful Origin Power surged within their palms onto the Black Chen Spear, unleashing dazzling Spear Lights. Although the two Beast Kings tried to withstand, one of them was directly pierced through the skull by the Spear Light.


    The other Beast King was giant turtle, Li Yuan''s first spear did not pierce his shell, but directly blasted numerous cracks in it... The third spear followed the break in the fractured shell and directly killed him.


    They simply couldn''t stop Li Yuan''s relentless slaughter.


    "These Star Realm Sky-Flying Exotic Beasts are much easier to kill than those of the Cloud Beast Civilization." Li Yuan mused internally, "Star Techniques, protective Battle Garments, and so on, are all much weaker."

 Chapter 304 Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_2

    Without the legacy of civilization, their foundation in realm might not be weak, but overall strength is much inferior."One left." Li Yuan stared at the fleeing green Flying Serpent.


    The water mysteries invoked by the opponent allowed for such rapid flight, which clearly indicated mastery of the Flying Escape Star Technique.


    But before Li Yuan could chase after the Qing Sheng Beast King.


    "Boom!"


    A terrifying presence descended with a roar, layers of flames spread out like a sea of fire, crushing everything in their path.


    "Rumble~" The void trembled as Li Yuan''s True Intent Domain made contact with the enemy''s Domain, showing signs of crumbling immediately.


    Clearly, in the clash of Domains, Li Yuan was far inferior to his opponent.


    Chi Yen Beast King, seeing the Qing Sheng Beast King in danger, did not care about killing Lei Meng and finally arrived in time.


    There was no exchange between them.


    Accompanied by the clash of Domains, a terrifying giant palm enveloped Li Yuan from the sky, working in tandem with the flame Domain, as if to stagnate space itself.


    "Thirty-four Level? He must be the ''Chi Yen Beast King'' under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor," deduced Li Yuan from the opponent''s silhouette, strength, and techniques.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors ruled this world, which was not united as one.


    Not all Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts wished to wage war with the Seven Star Civilization; over time... the Seven Star Civilization had exchanged information with more than one local power of the Flying Heaven Level Beast Kings in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    That''s how they learned many secrets of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Now facing the full-force attack of the Chi Yen Beast King, Li Yuan did not rely on his Phantom Body to dodge. Instead, his eyes burned with a fearsome war intent, and five of his six Phantom Bodies suddenly dissipated.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan did not retreat but advanced. Activating his "Great Earth Divine Body," his aura was equally shocking, and his speed also soared to its peak in an instant, not much slower than that of the Chi Yen Beast King.


    "Annihilate!" S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom! With the Black Chen Spear in hand, Li Yuan suddenly drew on the mysteries of Earth and Wind True Intent, infusing it with Origin Power and stabbing fiercely. The spear light shone like a terrifying beam of light, dazzlingly bright.


    He directly collided with the giant palm that came crashing down like a flaming meteor.


    "Bang!"


    A tremendous boom resounded, and invisible shockwaves expanded, blasting in all directions.


    The Chi Yen Beast King felt waves of excruciating pain and saw many tiny cracks appear on his palm. His towering body shook violently as he was forced to retreat.


    Li Yuan was also sent flying by the palm strike, feeling his blood boil within his body.


    But Li Yuan''s eyes were extremely bright.


    "His attacking power is merely a notch stronger than mine," Li Yuan realized this fact.


    If it were a Second Rank Martial Artist of the human race, like Dean Hai, he would hardly have the advantage in a frontal confrontation, and self-preservation would be considered good.


    Although the Chi Yen Beast King was also at Level 34, his Star Technique and weaponry were too ordinary, giving Li Yuan an opportunity to exploit.


    Li Yuan''s decision to confront Chi Yen Beast King head-on was to initially gauge the strength of the Three Great Beast Emperors through their confrontation.


    "This?"


    "To fight the Chi Yen Beast King head-on and not be at a disadvantage? Is that possible for a Second Rank Life?"


    "It seems he''s not injured." The other Flying Heaven Beast Kings watching the scene felt a shudder in their hearts. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Spirit Gun."


    "This! He''s facing this head-on, isn''t he worried about his body? Can he withstand it?" Lei Meng and Li Yang were completely holding their breath.


    Even those with superficial experiences among the native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, let alone them, found it hard to understand the strength showcased by the Spirit Gun in rapid succession.


    ..."Kill!" As Li Yuan''s figure dashed forward, he split into six.


    Fifth Layers Star Technique¡ªShadow Division Technique!


    The previous head-on collision was to judge the enemy''s strongest strength; in a real battle, he naturally couldn''t afford to do the same.


    The Six Paths Illusionary Bodies weaved through each other, moving swiftly towards the Chi Yen Beast King like phantoms.


    "Phantom Body?"


    "Suppress!" The Chi Yen Beast King felt a heavy pressure in his heart and immediately invoked his Domain. The surging flames in the void completely enveloped Li Yuan''s six Phantom Bodies.


    The flames roared like dragons, attempting to shatter the Phantom Bodies and pinpoint Li Yuan''s real position.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    But Li Yuan''s six Phantom Bodies seemed to exist in a separate void, dodging the fiery light attacks with ease... extremely agile.


    The Domain could not extinguish his Phantom Bodies.


    With the Fifth Layers Star Technique invoking dual mysteries of True Intent... if it were so easily defeated, then this move wouldn''t be so fearsome.


    Finally.


    Amidst the crossing Phantom Bodies, Li Yuan once again approached the Chi Yen Beast King.


    "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" Multiple spear lights whistled out, with six spear lights sweeping from all directions.


    "Roll away!" The Chi Yen Beast King roared angrily, swiping his palms swiftly through the void, his palms moving incredibly fast and with terrifying power.


    Like an illusory dream, five of the spear lights burst at the same time.


    Then the Chi Yen Beast King''s giant palm struck Li Yuan''s real body, blocking the fearsome spear.


    "You can block once, but not twice," Li Yuan''s eyes were filled with cold intent to kill.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan''s six Phantom Bodies moved again.


    The terror of the Shadow Domain lies in its ability to hide the true position during battle. Every attack was as if six real bodies were striking simultaneously, concealing the true intent of the attack and making it impossible for the enemy to discern.


    "Contract!" The Chi Yen Beast King roared.


    He evidently realized this as well, as his towering body tens of meters tall suddenly began to shrink, almost in the blink of an eye, to about ten meters tall.


    Shrinking his body would weaken his strength somewhat, but it would greatly increase his body density and defensive power... this was the Chi Yen Beast King''s innate ability.


    At the same time.


    "Rumble~" The previously expansive Domain that covered kilometers contracted rapidly, now only enveloping an area tens of meters in radius... With the Domain shrinking, its power naturally increased greatly.


    "Sss~"


    "Sss~" As Li Yuan''s Black Chen Spear penetrated the Flame Domain, it immediately faced resistance from the layers of flames, the speed and power of the Black Chen Spear both being suppressed.

 Chapter 304 Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_3

    "Kill!" roared the Chi Yen Beast King. After he shrank in size, his palms became more agile and managed to more easily block the long spear attacks. The illusory spears shattered and the real Black Chen Spear was thwarted. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality."This human martial artist is too terrifying."


    "He is the strongest Second Rank life form I''ve ever encountered. His skill level is definitely at the Beast Emperor tier."


    "No! Even if we only consider skill level, the Three Great Beast Emperors might not even match him," conceded the Chi Yen Beast King, now focusing solely on defense.


    Attack? He couldn''t distinguish Li Yuan''s real body and couldn''t possibly trouble Li Yuan. Instead, he was more likely to expose flaws.


    If he chose to flee, with his flying speed, escaping wouldn''t be difficult.


    But if he fled, Qing Sheng Beast King and the others would likely be caught and killed by Li Yuan, so he had to choose to stall Li Yuan.


    "Hold on."


    "After all, he is only a Second Rank life form. With each clash, sooner or later, he will not be able to withstand it," the Chi Yen Beast King was patient.


    In a clash between powerhouses, the side with the weaker physical quality would easily get injured just from the impact of the weapons colliding.


    But as time passed.


    With each collision, the Chi Yen Beast King grew more astonished because he felt that the aura of the human martial artist clad in black hadn''t diminished or changed at all.


    "Is this human martial artist''s defense so strong?" the Chi Yen Beast King found it unimaginable.


    Logically, no matter how strong he was, his body was still of Second Rank level!


    "Trying to use the shock of battle to overwhelm my body?" Li Yuan''s gaze turned icy as he figured out the Chi Yen Beast King''s tactics.


    However, Li Yuan was protected by his half-divine-level armor, the "Stellar Garment," which could greatly weaken external shock forces.


    Plus, with the activation of his Great Earth Divine Body, Li Yuan''s ability to endure was not inferior to that of a formidable Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    If one were to point out Li Yuan''s weakness, it would be Origin Power! Read latest chapters on My Virtual Library Empire


    Simultaneously executing several powerful Star Techniques consumed an astonishing amount of Origin Power.


    ...All this seemed slow, but in just over ten seconds, beings like the Qing Sheng Beast King and Li Yang had already retreated more than ten kilometers.


    Under Li Yuan''s frenzied assault, the Chi Yen Beast King''s defense grew increasingly strained.


    A prolonged defense is bound to fail.


    "Pssht~" Suddenly, a spear stabbed out, drawing a dazzling arc in midair, piercing through layers of flames and fiercely aiming at the Chi Yen Beast King''s chest.


    "Hiss~"


    It was too fast. The Chi Yen Beast King couldn''t block in time and saw the spear light flare up and penetrate his chest, whereupon Li Yuan immediately felt a terrible resistance.


    It was too hard.


    "This is bad," Li Yuan''s expression shifted slightly, "Such strong defense?"


    After shrinking in size, the Chi Yen Beast King''s body was inherently hard, plus he was also protected by a layer of battle garment close to his skin, with his Domain weakening the attacks... making Li Yuan''s spear light strike his body but unable to penetrate deep.


    Many special bloodline creatures would awaken terrifying talents at different stages.


    Like the True Phoenix, which possesses the power of Nirvana.


    The Seven Star Civilization was but a corner in the vast expanse of the endless dimensional river, rarely witnessing such special creatures with extraordinary gifts.


    But immense strength and a sturdy body were the talents of the Chi Yen Beast King.


    His body, nearly as solid as rock, could awaken Spiritual Nature and give birth to Spiritual Wisdom was an incredible feat... Just in terms of innate talent, across the entire Mingxu Star Realm, he was actuallyhigher than the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    However, as a rock life form, his Comprehension was quite mediocre, which is why he never became a Beast Emperor.


    "Human, you can''t kill me," the voice of the Chi Yen Beast King resounded in Li Yuan''s mind, "I can''t do anything about you either. You are the strongest Second Rank life form I have ever seen."


    "How about we stop here and both withdraw?" the Chi Yen Beast King proposed through a mental message.


    Li Yuan couldn''t speak.


    To watch the other side kill Wu Manong and simply withdraw? How could Li Yuan be content with that?


    "If we continue fighting, you might have a chance to kill my clan''s Beast Kings, but it will not be difficult for me to go all out and kill your two companions," the Chi Yen Beast King communicated.


    Li Yuan''s pupils constricted slightly; this was the concern he had harbored, that he wouldn''t be able to stop the other party from attacking Li Yang.


    Whoosh!


    Unconsciously, Li Yuan had already begun to retreat; continuing the fight seemed pointless.


    Both powerhouses could not overcome each other.


    "Human martial artist."


    "I can feel your rage. Was the one I just killed your friend?" The Chi Yen Beast King looked at Li Yuan and said gravely, "But you should understand that you are the invaders."


    "This is a racial struggle for survival space; does talking about invasion even matter? If your kind were powerful and had the chance to invade our world, would you stop?" Li Yuan''s eyes were cold as he finally responded to the other party.


    "You have a point," agreed the Chi Yen Beast King.


    "Just like when I followed the Beast Emperor into battle, through countless years I have killed many unyielding Beast Kings. Every rise of a Beast Emperor is accompanied with bloodshed and slaughter," the Chi Yen Beast King said, shaking his head, "Discussing justice is indeed laughable."


    "But I believe you are aware of the situation. If my kind really went all out, the casualties among your humans would not be limited to what they are now," the Chi Yen Beast King remarked, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    This indeed was a point the high echelons of the Seven Star Civilization couldn''t understand.


    The strength displayed by the native forces of Mingxu was too powerful... Beings like the Three Great Beast Emperors, and even the Chi Yen Beast King at this level, had never taken action before.


    Why hadn''t they acted? It was a mystery.


    If the Mingxu native forces were determined to attack at all costs, they could have possibly destroyed many bases of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, or even wiped them all out long ago.


    However.


    The might of the Mingxu native forces was exactly why the Seven Star Civilization high command chose to give up the many outlying bases and withdraw completely.


    If the Seven Star Civilization were to call all Prime Warriors from the Seven Star Mountain to Mingxu Star Realm and even allow a batch to break through, and if they used a wealth of rare treasures to rapidly enhance their strength and mobilize more Fourth-order Battleships... they might have a chance to win.

 Chapter 304 Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_4

    Defeating the Three Great Beast Emperors is not impossible.But the cost is too great.


    The Seven Star Civilization must be on guard, for the Second Rank Star Realms they vie for are not limited to just the Mingxu Star Realm.


    If we focus all our efforts on conquering the Mingxu Star Realm, what about the other Star Realms?


    "With your strength, your status within the forces of your Human Race should also be extremely high," said the Chi Yen Beast King, staring at Li Yuan. "I speak on behalf of the highest echelons of our world, hoping you will convey this to your superiors."


    "We do not wish to ignite a great war."


    Li Yuan stood in the void, already understanding somewhat why the native forces of Mingxu only destroyed a large number of bases and did not exterminate all the human Martial Artists everywhere.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings were not afraid of his peers, the True Intent Prime Warriors, nor the few who had just broken through to the Flying Heaven level.


    They feared the entire Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization.


    Compared to the two great civilizations, the native forces of Mingxu were very weak. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Ten days, just withdraw from our world, and we will not attack," the Chi Yen Beast King said slowly. "But if your bases are still here after ten days."


    "Then, it will truly be an unending war until death."


    "I think, you would not want to witness the spectacle of the Three Great Beast Emperors taking action," the Chi Yen Beast King, staring at Li Yuan, declared. "This is your final warning."


    "Your civilization is very powerful."


    "But if you want to occupy our world, believe me, the price you will pay... will be more than you can bear," said the Chi Yen Beast King somberly. "This is our world." Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire


    "We will not retreat, we have no retreat!"


    With that said!


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King suddenly waved his hand, and two shields flew out. "These are the weapons of those who died in battle; take them back with you."


    Li Yuan stepped forward, manipulating the power of heaven and earth to catch the weapons of Wu Manong.


    "Remember."


    "You only have ten days!" The Chi Yen Beast King did not transmit his voice anymore; his voice echoed through heaven and earth.


    Boom!


    The Chi Yen Beast King soared into the sky, transforming into a flame that streaked toward the distance.


    ...


    "Ten days?"


    Li Yuan, looking at the shields floating in front of him left by Wu Manong, pondered, and then with a wave of his hand, he stored them into his Storage Treasure.


    Swish! Swish!


    Li Yang and Lei Meng flew up, with Lei Meng saying, "Spirit Gun, thank you."


    "Thank you for the rescue," Li Yang also said.


    "I arrived too late," Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    If he had come a little earlier, Wu Manong would not have perished.


    "We were careless," said Li Yang solemnly. "In the past few days, we have not encountered any ambushes by Flying Heaven level... Who could have expected so many Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts to suddenly appear, even including that Chi Yen Beast King."


    "Spirit Gun, you have already done enough," said Lei Meng similarly. "In war, casualties are inevitable; once we have entered the battle, we were already prepared to die."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Wars involving a Second Rank Star Realm as intense as the Mingxu Star Realm have been quite rare for the Seven Star Civilization.


    "What did that Chi Yen Beast King mean by ten days?" Li Yang suddenly asked.


    "After ten days, if we have not retreated, then the local forces of the Mingxu Star Realm will no longer show mercy; all Three Great Beast Emperors will take action," Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    Li Yang and Lei Meng were both startled.


    "Let''s head back first."


    "This matter must be reported to the Alliance," Li Yuan said, shaking his head. "Let the demigods decide."


    "Hmm."


    The three of them left quickly.


    ...


    Far away in the void.


    Eight Flying Heaven Beast Kings were flying at high speeds toward Ming Mountain, the atmosphere extremely tense.


    "Uncle Chi Yen, you can''t kill him alone," said the Qing Sheng Beast King, his eyes flashing red, as he growled. "If the Hei Guang Beast King and the Thunder Radiance Beast King were also called over, and you three joined forces, you could definitely kill that human Martial Artist."


    "Qing Sheng!"


    The Chi Yen Beast King glanced back, his voice frigid. "Do you truly wish for our world to be destroyed?"

 Chapter 305 Chi Yens Scheme! Li Yuans Promise

    ```"Hmm? Uncle Chi Yen, I didn''t." The Qing Sheng Beast King quickly explained, sensing the fury in the Chi Yen Beast King''s voice.


    "Didn''t?"


    "But your desired actions are exactly what is sending our entire world to its doom," the Chi Yen Beast King said in a deep voice. "Could it be that only your good brother ''Hei Jing Beast King'' has a life worth living, and the lives of other Beast Kings aren''t, that they should obey your commands and march to their deaths?"


    "Thirteen Beast Kings emerged together for this battle, and only eight survived. Don''t you feel a thing in your heart?" the Chi Yen Beast King stared at the Qing Sheng Beast King.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King was taken aback, a feeling?


    Indeed, there wasn''t much of an impact on his heart.


    In his eyes, if these ordinary Beast Kings died, then they died; there were plenty more under his father''s command.


    Let alone five, even if fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings died, the Qing Sheng Beast King wouldn''t care.


    As long as he and the Beast Kings close to him survived, that was enough.


    He sensed the unusual gazes of the Beast Kings around him.


    "Uncle Chi Yen, I was wrong," the Qing Sheng Beast King quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.


    "Hmph!" the Chi Yen Beast King snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "Not just you, Qing Sheng, the rest of you Beast Kings must be wondering why I, Thunder Beast King, and Hei Guang Beast King didn''t take action earlier."


    "And probably wondering why, despite our alliance, the other two Great Beast Emperor forces are biding their time," said the Chi Yen Beast King. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Many of the flying Beast Kings nodded.


    From the top down, many Beast Kings of the entire Ming Xu native forces were puzzled by this, when they could have easily swept those Foreign Civilizations'' forces.


    This was also the reason why many Flying Heaven Beast Kings, after destroying a large number of human civilization''s war bases, refused to obey the Beast Emperor''s command and still sought to flee and hunt down the human Martial Artists.


    Because they wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.


    "War is not child''s play."


    "Our enemies are not just the forces we see before us," the Chi Yen Beast King slowly said: "Decades ago, these two civilization forces had already dispatched small forces to infiltrate... but they did not expand, and after consultation among the Three Great Beast Emperors, we just observed in secret."


    "Over a year ago, a channel from outside the domain appeared, as the Beast Emperor stated, it was the expansion of the Star Realm passage that allowed Second Rank Life to enter and exit freely... Their Second Rank powerhouses entered, and the influence within our world rapidly increased."


    "But before we took action, these two forces started fighting among themselves," said the Chi Yen Beast King solemnly. "Naturally, we preferred to let them fight among themselves, we were just bystanders."


    Many Beast Kings nodded, since there had been no war until now.


    "Eventually."


    "This civilization known as ''Seven Stars'' gained the upper hand," the Chi Yen Beast King said solemnly: "They began to establish a large number of small bases... They were preparing to take root in our world, destroying our foundation."


    Coldness flickered in the eyes of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    Their races, mostly scattered around the world, all command vast territories... For new Beast Kings to be born within their tribes, they need living space and territories.


    The actions of the Seven Star Civilization, expanding thousands of kilometers at a time, surpassed the bottom line of these Flying Heaven Beast Kings and even the Beast Emperors; this was the root of the war outbreak.


    After all, how big is the entire Ming Xu world altogether?


    The Chi Yen Beast King did not mention the changes in the ''Divine Land''... These secrets were unnecessary to share with these ordinary Beast Kings.


    "Our first wave of attacks was very successful, a great victory," the Chi Yen Beast King said slowly: "Then what? The Seven Star Civilization quickly dispatched more Flying Heaven Martial Artists, sent more powerful Second Rank Life, Flying Heaven Martial Artists, to protect their fleeing First and Second Rank warriors."


    "And their technological weapons, most of the fallen Beast Kings were killed by technological weapons..."


    A chill went through the hearts of the Beast Kings.


    Especially the two Beast Kings who had taken part in the attack on the main base of the Seven Star Civilization, their expressions became even more grave.


    The main cannons of the Fourth-Order Battleships made a profound impression on them.


    Even a Level 33 Flying Heaven Beast King fell after just one hit.


    "There were casualties, but the Seven Star Civilization had four main bases, and we successfully destroyed two of them."


    "And then, that human Martial Artist appeared," the Chi Yen Beast King said in a low voice: "A mere Second Rank Life, I couldn''t even deal with him... Would the Beast Emperor definitely be able to slay him if he came?"


    Silence fell!


    The Beast Emperor, exalted above all, was an invincible existence in the minds of these Beast Kings; if in the past someone said the Beast Emperor could not kill a Second Rank Life, they would have taken it as a joke... but the recent encounter, they had seen with their own eyes.


    And saying this was the ''Chi Yen Beast King,'' the strongest below the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    "Do you dare say that human Martial Artist is the strongest Second Rank being of the Seven Star Civilization?" the Chi Yen Beast King said solemnly: "The Seven Star Civilization is unfathomable."


    "Without mentioning anything else, if that human Martial Artist breaks through to the Flying Heaven Realm within our world, by himself he could sweep across the entire world, and even the Three Great Beast Emperors wouldn''t be a match for him," said the Chi Yen Beast King solemnly: "Even if we use all our strength to eradicate this human Martial Artist, can we ensure the Seven Star Civilization won''t send even stronger forces to kill us?"


    Not a sound could be heard, no one could refute.


    The face of the Qing Sheng Beast King turned extremely unsightly... He too had thought of this.


    With the war escalating time after time, the Seven Star Civilization was indeed revealing ever stronger forces.


    "Of course." Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Such a peerless prodigy would not lightly consent to be trapped in our world."


    "The Seven Star Civilization also has its limits," the Chi Yen Beast King said: "But all these premises are based on us not pushing them into a corner."


    "We did not eradicate them completely before because we did not want to create a vendetta," the Chi Yen Beast King said: "Otherwise, if the Seven Star Civilization attacked desperately, we most likely would not be able to withstand it."

 Chapter 305 Chi Yens Plot! Li Yuans Promise_2

    "Chi Yen Senior.""Since we don''t wish to make deadly enemies," another Beast King, a giant turtle, couldn''t help but say, "why initiate this assassination? Doesn''t this just further provoke them?"


    "Because Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu are dead!" The Chi Yen Beast King''s eyes were ice-cold: "Not wanting to start a war doesn''t mean we should always back down."


    "I brought you all here, not just to take revenge."


    "If two powerful Beast Kings die and we show no response... then these civilizations from beyond our domain will think us weak and easy to bully. Even if they withdraw now, they''ll strike back later."


    "Only by making the Seven Star Civilization realize... that we, the Mingxu Beast Clan, are strong and willing to fight to the death, so destroying us would come at an unimaginable cost," the Chi Yen Beast King slowly said, "will they truly be willing to negotiate with us."


    Peace through war?


    All the present Flying Heaven Beast Kings thought of this phrase.


    "Chi Yen Senior, are we really going to launch a full-scale assault in ten days?" a Beast King couldn''t help but ask.


    "Fool!"


    "Do we have to follow through on everything we say?" Chi Yen Beast King scoffed and said, "If they withdraw from our world in ten days, naturally, that would be for the best."


    "Monitor them secretly, if they don''t withdraw, we''ll inform the Seven Star Civilization two days later that my previous ultimatum doesn''t count... the Three Great Beast Emperors have new orders."


    "In short, if both civilizations want to test our bottom line, we must delay, delay until the Three Great Beast Emperors leave the Divine Land," Chi Yen Beast King said.


    All the Beast Kings nodded in agreement.


    ...


    Deep within Ming Mountain, the abode of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    Inside the palace in the middle of the lake.


    "So you''re saying you actually lost this battle?" Hei Guang Beast King looked at the Chi Yen Beast King in the projection.


    "That human Martial Artist is terrifyingly strong," Chi Yen Beast King said in a low voice.


    "Hmm." Hei Guang Beast King nodded and said, "A Flying Heaven Beast King, following our orders, has made contact with the ''Tianliang Civilization.'' According to the information they provided... this gun-wielding human Martial Artist should be the top genius ''Spirit Gun'' of the Seven Star Civilization."


    "Spirit Gun?" Chi Yen Beast King muttered to himself.


    He noted down this name.


    "How many Second Rank Lives like this are there in the Seven Star Civilization?" Chi Yen Beast King pressed.


    "The Tianliang Civilization refuses to disclose that information," Hei Guang Beast King shook his head and said, "They only say that the Seven Star Civilization is far stronger than them, and if we want to protect the Mingxu Star Realm, there''s only one option... to unite with them. If we don''t drive out the Seven Star Civilization, our Mingxu Star Realm will sooner or later get annihilated by them."


    "Unite?"


    Chi Yen Beast King snorted, "If I''m not mistaken, they want us to send in the Beast Kings to attack, and then they''ll just give us some treasures and weapons, at most they might provide some Star Techniques."


    "Right." Hei Guang Beast King nodded.


    "From the current signs, the Seven Star Civilization is stronger and poses a greater threat," Chi Yen Beast King said. "But if we engage in an all-out brawl with the Seven Star Civilization, the losses would be too great, and the Tianliang Civilization, seizing the opportunity, would turn around and wipe us out."


    "Neither civilization is trustworthy."


    "What do the Beast Emperors say?" Chi Yen Beast King then asked.


    "The Three Great Beast Emperors have been tracking that human Martial Artist known as ''Yu Jinghe'' in the Divine Land," Hei Guang Beast King said. "But the Divine Land is vast, and they have not caught up... It will still take a long time before the Three Great Beast Emperors come out."


    "After all, compared to occupying some territories from the two human civilizations, the Divine Land is more important."


    Chi Yen Beast King nodded slightly.


    "Chi Yen, what are your thoughts?" Hei Guang Beast King looked at him.


    "In my opinion, it would be for the best if both human forces withdrew in accordance with the final ultimatum," Chi Yen Beast King said. "But most likely, they won''t pull back."


    "Thus, it''s better to tempt them to keep fighting each other than to fight to the death and possibly force them to join hands against us."


    "Their main bases, I remember, are only about two thousand kilometers apart... Let''s inform them both at the same time that we will grant them the territory within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius of that region," Chi Yen Beast King said earnestly. "I, the Mingxu Star Realm, will cede that territory, allowing them to proliferate greatly and to mine the resources within that domain."


    "Granting territory?" Hei Guang Beast King was stunned; this was unexpected to him.


    A ten-thousand-kilometer territory is less than one-tenth of the Mingxu Star Realm and isn''t very significant.


    "With such a plan, as long as they''re not fools, they''ll certainly notice something amiss," Hei Guang Beast King couldn''t help but say. "Won''t they join forces to attack us?"


    "So what if they do notice? This is an overt scheme," Chi Yen Beast King shook his head and said. "Do you think, the Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, can trust each other? They are the real sworn enemies."


    "Normally,"


    "Neither civilization would prefer to occupy our world than to let the other gain an advantage."


    Chi Yen Beast King slowly said, "The key is, although our Mingxu Beast Clan is weak... within our world, we have the advantage."


    Hei Guang Beast King nodded unconsciously.


    The Mingxu Beast Clan was like a hedgehog with treasures, facing two fierce tigers...


    Both tigers wanted to devour the hedgehog and take its treasures, but feared getting injured by the hedgehog''s spines, thereby giving the other tiger an advantage. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Not wanting to be attacked by both tigers, the hedgehog only wanted to throw out part of its treasures, prompting the tigers to fight each other first.


    "If we really give up such a large territory, wouldn''t that be inviting the wolf into the house?" Hei Guang Beast King was still worried. "They will establish even more large bases." Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire


    "That will depend on the Three Great Beast Emperors," Chi Yen Beast King shook his head and said. "If one of the Beast Emperors can break through to become a Demigod... there''s no need to be concerned about these threats. No matter how strong the two civilizations are, they won''t be able to do anything about it."


    "If our Mingxu Beast Clan can''t give birth to a Demigod¡­" Chi Yen Beast King fell silent for a long while before saying, "sooner or later, we will be completely devoured."


    "Furthermore,"


    "Currently, the world passage only allows Second Rank Life to enter and leave. If it gets upgraded again to allow Third Order Life to pass through... and if we still haven''t birthed a Demigod by then, aside from submission, we''ll have no second path to survival."

    ...


    Before long, Li Yuan, Li Yang, and Lei Meng had returned to the Bright Moon Base.


    Outside the Fourth-order Battleship.


    Luo Chan, Tavares, and the over ten other people stationed at the base, having received the news, came forward to greet them with notably grave expressions on their faces.


    "Tavares, eyes reddening, asked, "Spirit Gun, is it true that Wu Manong has fallen in battle?"


    The burly man struggled to contain his emotions.


    "Ah," Li Yuan sighed softly, flipping his palm to retrieve two shields and spoke somberly, "Tavares... keep these weapons, and give them to his wife and child."


    Wu Manong had a family; his wife was a Prime Warrior, and they had a son.


    With red-rimmed eyes and shaky hands, Tavares took the two shields.


    Everyone else felt a heavy sigh in their hearts.


    Wu Manong''s death saddened everyone... but in these times, scenes like this had become all too common.


    Yet, no one felt the grief as acutely as Tavares... everyone knew that Wu Manong had two close friends who shared life and death.


    One was Yu Jinghe; for over a decade, they had sparred against each other as rivals but remained friends throughout.


    The other was Tavares.


    He and Wu Manong had the closest relationship, having fought side by side through countless life-and-death battles.


    "The Chi Yen Beast King," Tavares suddenly let out a series of low growls, knowing the killer was the Chi Yen Beast King.


    "Spirit Gun."


    Luo Chan, in a low voice, said, "According to the message you sent back, the demigods have just finished meeting, and several of them want to see you."


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded and followed Luo Chan toward the distant Fourth-order Battleship.


    No one else objected.


    They all knew the outcome of the battle between Spirit Gun and the Chi Yen Beast King... and the strength displayed by Spirit Gun was both shocking and exciting to them.


    This increased their awe of the enigmatic ''Number One Prime Warrior of the Civilization.''


    ...


    Huff! Huff!


    Li Yuan and Luo Chan flew into a small conference room deep within the battleship.


    Boom¡ªThe conference room door closed.


    Inside the conference room, three massive holographic screens projected three figures.


    They were all familiar to Li Yuan.


    Huff~


    The Battle Garment that had covered Li Yuan''s face receded, revealing his visage.


    Next, Li Yuan''s soul underwent a transformation, as he removed the covering of the Phantom Spirit Garment.


    Luo Chan, despite having known this, still felt a sense of amazement.


    "Senior Bai Shan, Senior San Ye, Headmaster," Li Yuan greeted respectfully.


    Everyone present was aware of their identities; there was no need for concealment.


    "Li Yuan, you''ve performed admirably in the Star Realm retreat operation; don''t be too hard on yourself," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. "War always brings casualties, and everyone who has fallen is a hero of our Seven Star Civilization."


    "Their names will be inscribed in the history of our civilization."


    "The rise of a civilization is always accompanied by countless sacrifices," San Ye Semi-Divine added. "Whether it''s your battles in the Second Level Star Realm, or our stand in the Third Level Star Realm, protecting the Fourth Level Star Realm... generations in the distant future will remember our contributions."


    "The dead are gone, the living must continue to move forward."


    Li Yuan listened in silence.


    Whether it was fending off foreign enemies or attacking other Star Realms... whether it was Li Yuan or the powerful demigods before him, or the countless human Martial Artists who had sacrificed themselves throughout history.


    Their goal had always been one¡ªto ensure the survival of the Seven Star Civilization.


    To ensure its better survival!


    ...


    The discussion in the conference room continued.


    "Li Yuan, your strength is so immense that, placed in the history of our civilization, you are the strongest Prime Warrior," Fang Hai observed with a hint of admiration. "No one else can catch up to you."


    "Even true intend Prime Warriors like Luo Chan, even if they break through to the Flying Heaven Level, won''t be a match for you in the short term," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    Luo Chan, listening on the side, inwardly sighed, acknowledging the truth in this.


    The power displayed by Li Yuan in battle indeed put them, the true intend Prime Warriors, in a position of looking up to him.


    "Li Yuan, what are your thoughts on the ''ten-day ultimatum'' from the Chi Yen Beast King?" San Ye Semi-Divine asked.


    Whether it was to fight or to fully retreat.


    As the strongest frontline warrior, Li Yuan''s opinion was very important.


    ```


    "My strength is still not enough," Li Yuan shook his head, "I can''t even kill the Chi Yen Beast King... To think of killing the Three Great Beast Emperors, there is no hope at all."


    The Chi Yen Beast King is Fourth Rank.


    So it can be basically confirmed that the Three Great Beast Emperors should be Fifth Rank, thus their mastery of abilities must be at least at the intermediate rank of True Intent, and their strength far surpasses that of Fourth Rank in all aspects... Even if in terms of weapons and Star Techniques, the Beast Emperors are weaker than the peak Flying Heaven warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan currently can''t shake them.


    If encountered, it would be good enough just to save his life.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all briefly stunned.


    Wasn''t it obvious that Li Yuan was no match for the Three Great Beast Emperors? Why suddenly say this?


    "I need one month''s time."


    Li Yuan spoke again, his eyes calm, "In one month, my strength will significantly improve, and I will have the confidence to fight a Beast Emperor, even to the point of killing one." Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire


    "What?"


    "To fight a Beast Emperor?"


    "One month''s time?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all shocked.


    Luo Chan, who was beside them, was even more dumbfounded.


    Li Yuan''s strength was already formidable, and it could get even stronger?


    "Li Yuan, do you intend to break through to the Flying Heaven Level in the Mingxu Star Realm?" San Ye Semi-Divine seemed to think of something.


    The others all looked at Li Yuan.


    If Li Yuan broke through to the Flying Heaven Level, underwent a foundational transformation, and his strength surged greatly, then killing a Beast Emperor would naturally not be difficult.


    "Li Yuan, don''t be impulsive," Fang Hai also spoke gravely, "Even if the Mingxu Star Realm is important... it''s not worth staying here forever, the loss outweighs the gain."


    "Principal, rest assured, I will not be impulsive," Li Yuan said, knowing what these alliance senior executives were worried about.


    "How can you achieve this?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn''t help asking, "Those Three Great Beast Emperors, at least Fifth Rank... the foundational gap is too great."


    It''s no wonder these demigods were losing their composure.


    Normally speaking, for a 29th Level genius Prime Warrior to be comparable to a 31st Level Flying Heaven Warrior was impressive enough.


    Exceptionally strong ones could be on par with 32nd Level human warriors, like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef.


    To be 29th Level and comparable to a 33rd Level? Before Li Yuan, the entire Seven Star Civilization only had one example!


    Fang Hai!


    Li Yuan, calculating his age, had just turned 20, and it was already incredible for him to be a match for the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Now, he was claiming that in another month he could be on par with a 35th Level Beast Emperor?


    How could they easily believe that?


    "I can''t explain the specific reasons, but I can only tell you seniors, I am capable," Li Yuan said gravely, "I will not joke with my own life."


    All was silent.


    Luo Chan held his breath.


    After a long while,


    "Alright, Li Yuan, we believe you," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said solemnly, "In the coming month, we will fully retreat, giving up the Bright Moon Base... We will only keep the Bright Moon Base as a strategic support point, allowing the Myriad Demons Civilization to draw the Mingxu Beast Clan''s firepower."


    "The Myriad Demons Civilization?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "Yes."


    "The underground network has sent news that the Tianliang Civilization has already sought help from the Myriad Demons Civilization, judging by the time, the genius Prime Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization should be arriving soon," Fang Hai said, "Of course, the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn''t care about territorial ownership, their goal is only the treasures of Ming Mountain... they will probably head straight to Ming Mountain."


    "Genius of the Myriad Demons Civilization?" Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, amazed by the intelligence network of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Such confidential information could actually be inquired about in advance.


    "Could the Myriad Demons Civilization attack us in advance?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "It''s possible," Fang Hai said with a smile, "Therefore, considering the one month''s time you requested, we have decided to retreat... Once they catch a glimpse of a group of Fourth-order Battleships inside our base, they should give up attacking."


    "After all, the power of the Myriad Demons Civilization has its limits, as long as we temporarily show weakness, presenting a willingness to abandon the contest for the treasures of Ming Mountain... They won''t waste their energy fighting us."


    "Besides, we are also planning to let two True Intent Prime Warriors break through."


    Li Yuan''s pupils contracted slightly, such a bold decision.


    Each True Intent Prime Warrior had the potential to become a demigod in the future... To convince such geniuses to willingly stay in the Mingxu Star Realm was very difficult.


    "All these plans are based on your ability to do what you promised," San Ye Semi-Divine said, "Within a month, to possess the strength to rival a Beast Emperor."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    On the flight back, he had already begun to sense preliminarily within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace... There was more than a 90% certainty.


    "Li Yuan, what help do you need?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    "I need some treasures," Li Yuan pondered for a moment then said, "I can use Seven Stars Points to buy them, but some treasures are so precious, I don''t have the authority, and I need the demigods'' help."


    Quickly,


    Li Yuan took out a list of treasures, specifically for practicing the Ninefold Star Technique "All Things Divine Body," the Seventh Layers Star Technique "Shadow Clone," and the Fifth Layer Star Technique "Wind Feather," which listed all the materials he needed.


    These were the preparations he had made on the way back.


    If they could be gathered, it would be enough for Li Yuan to bring these Star Techniques to the limit of Second Order.


    ```

 Chapter 306 Dongfang Jis Conjecture! Spiritual Guidance (Extra 25)

    "Treasure list?" San Ye Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and Fang Hai all looked at the list given by Li Yuan.Half a square of Fire Divine Crystal, Wood God Crystal, Water Divine Crystal, and Metal Divine Crystal...


    Emerald Spirit Bamboo, Sky Silk Stone, Ring Green Fruit, Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, Soul-devouring Ghost Wood...


    A dense array of all kinds of treasures, amounting to nearly a hundred items; even the two semi-divines and Fang Hai, as experienced as they were, found themselves somewhat astonished.


    Not to mention anything else, just the combined value of the two squares of Five Elements Divine Crystal alone reached 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    Enough to make a semi-divine take notice.


    As for the other numerous treasures, none required in a large quantity and most were not considered precious, but the variety was overwhelming.


    Moreover, a few of the treasures were extremely rare, only heard of but never seen before by the semi-divines and impossible to evaluate in terms of specific value.


    The conference room was silent as a tomb.


    "Are these treasures very precious?" Luo Chan was curious in her heart; she dared not release her divine sense to inquire and couldn''t see the list provided by Li Yuan clearly.


    But from the expressions of the several high-ranking alliance members, she guessed as much and was secretly startled.


    What exactly did Li Yuan ask for?


    Li Yuan too waited silently; he had no choice. To cultivate star techniques like "Wind Feather" and "Nine Shadow Clones" wasn''t too demanding in terms of required treasures.


    But!


    "All Things Divine Body" was different. It was a Supreme Star Technique... and body refining star techniques were unanimously recognized as the premier slaughter star techniques!


    In short, once one made progress in cultivating the "All Things Divine Body," even among peers in the endless river of dimensions, it would be known for its invincible might.


    Such a fearsome star technique, with extreme difficulty in cultivation, demanded high proficiency in both Star Meridian Mystery and skill realm... and to cultivate it fully required the aid of a vast amount of external substances.


    In fact, the list of treasures above wasn''t complete, and "an Earth Origin Crystal" was also needed, but as Li Yuan already had one, it wasn''t listed.

    After a while.


    "Li Yuan, must you have these treasures?" Fang Hai said slowly, "The other treasures are one thing, but for items like the Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, I''m afraid our civilization''s treasure vaults may not have them... We must ask the Alliance Hierarch if he has them."


    "I must." Li Yuan nodded solemnly, "Otherwise, I won''t be able to match the Beast Emperor."


    Without successfully cultivating the "All Things Divine Body," Li Yuan estimated that even if his skill realm perception reached the standard of a semi-divine, it wouldn''t necessarily rival the Beast Emperor... the difference in fundamental strength was too great.


    Foundations are extremely important.


    The several high-ranking officials looked at each other, and Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, "Li Yuan, excluding the three most precious and rare treasures, the total value of all the other treasures combined... exceeds 400,000 Seven Stars Points."


    "For such a large sum of treasures, even a semi-divine would almost find it impossible to produce," Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head.


    "Predecessor Bai Shan, I''m not trying to take advantage..." Li Yuan said, remembering how the previous principal had only offered "30,000 Seven Stars Points."


    Most semi-divines probably wouldn''t keep that many Seven Stars Points on hand; they would usually convert them into strength.


    "Li Yuan, you misunderstand."


    San Ye Semi-Divine spoke softly, "What we mean is, the alliance can advance these treasures to you... after you clean sweep the entire Mingxu Star Realm, the alliance will then acknowledge your merits and offset it then."


    "Even if we don''t ultimately take the Mingxu Star Realm, as long as you have sufficient strength and points in the future, you can repay the alliance." San Ye Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, "How does that sound to you?"


    "Acceptable," Li Yuan smiled.


    This was essentially an interest-free loan.


    "Li Yuan, for the other three treasures, I need to inquire with the Alliance Hierarch," Fang Hai said, "You''ll have to wait a moment."


    "All right," Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    Feixing, a place shrouded in mystery and connected to the Martial Divine Star Realm, was where Dongfang Ji was quietly cultivating.


    That blurry silhouette sat cross-legged amidst the void, as if he was in another space entirely.


    "Master, Fang Hai is requesting communication, an urgent contact," a deep voice resonated.


    "Answer it," the blurry silhouette said.


    Swiftly.


    Hum~


    A projection appeared, the dim light coalesced to form the phantom of Fang Hai.


    "Master," Fang Hai greeted with respect.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "It''s concerning Li Yuan and the Mingxu Star Realm..." Fang Hai quickly recounted the situation, "The other treasures can all be retrieved from the Seven Stars Treasury, but the Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, Soul-devouring Ghost Wood, and Black Rhino Iron... the treasury lacks them. After much thought, I realized only you could possibly have a way."


    Having said that, Fang Hai stood respectfully waiting for Dongfang Ji''s decision.


    "This treasure list?" Surprise flickered in the blurry silhouette''s eyes.


    With his vast experience, listening to Fang Hai''s description of the list, he had his suspicions.


    "Tell Li Yuan, I can procure these three items for him, but it will take three days," the blurry silhouette said directly, "These treasures, with a total value of 100,000 Seven Stars Points... can be initially charged to the treasury''s account, but in the future, he will need to repay it."


    "Let the debt for this list of treasures be recorded under me," Fang Hai suddenly said.


    "Charge it all to you?" The blurry silhouette expressed surprise, "Fang Hai, this is 500,000 Seven Stars Points."


    "Master."


    "Last time, I acquired the Divine Visualization Method from Li Yuan, and only paid out 30,000 Seven Stars Points," Fang Hai said, "I''ve always felt indebted, and since Li Yuan was weaker before, he didn''t need that many Seven Stars Points, so I was not in a hurry."


    "Now that Li Yuan just happens to need them, let it be charged to my account, and I will repay it in the future."


    "500,000 Seven Stars Points is still not comparable to one high-level Divine Visualization Method, but at least it''ll ease my conscience," Fang Hai stated earnestly.


    "Alright," Dongfang Ji nodded slightly. He knew his disciple had a different temperament and disliked being indebted to others.


    Magnanimous and forthright.


    "Fang Hai, have you made a breakthrough in your spiritual power?" Dongfang Ji suddenly inquired.


    "As you''ve discerned, Master," Fang Hai revealed a slight smile.


    Indeed, his spiritual power had broken through restraints and bottlenecks over the past year with the aid of the Divine Visualization Method... and had stepped into the Semi-Divine Level.


    "Good," Dongfang Ji''s eyes brightened.


    One moet remember, Fang Hai had already approached the threshold of Laws with his Flying Heaven Level spiritual power. Now possessing Semi-Divine Level spiritual power, his efficiency in comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth would skyrocket, and the speed of his strength improvement would rise dramatically.


    Bottlenecks? In Fang Hai''s cultivation life, at present, there were no such restraints.


    Before Li Yuan came along, within the Seven Star Civilization, the person Dongfang Ji valued most was Fang Hai. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Seven Star Veins, are you confident?" Dongfang Ji asked the key question.


    "There''s hope," Fang Hai nodded. "I will strive to break through to Seven Star Veins before entering the Wanhan Star Realm... If all goes well, once the breakthrough to semi-divine is complete, with a bit of time accumulating Origin Power, I should be able to surpass Senior Lant."


    "Mm," Dongfang Ji nodded slightly, very satisfied with Fang Hai''s progress.


    "Alright."


    "Go tell Li Yuan, within three days, I will have gathered the items," Dongfang Ji said slowly. "Tell him not to be hasty, occupying Mingxu Star Realm is secondary... If there''s no absolute certainty, do not take the risk."


    "Your disciple understands," Fang Hai said.


    His figure thunderously vanished.


    This Void Land was left once again with Dongfang Ji sitting cross-legged in meditation, his form ethereal.


    "Master, judging from the treasure list, Li Yuan is aiming to practice the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique." The deep voice echoed. "Has his Star Vein progressed this quickly?"


    "Indeed, it''s inconceivable."


    "The Ninefold Star Technique requires Nine Layer Star Veins."


    "To practice two Ninefold Star Techniques, even in the Divine Court branch, is extremely rare, and only a group of top talents located in the Divine Realm dare to say they can definitely practice them," the deep voice went on, chatting away as if it couldn''t stop.


    Clearly, the list of treasures had greatly shocked him.


    "He has indeed awoken new Nine Layer Star Veins quite quickly, but it''s not beyond my expectations," Dongfang Ji said indifferently. "However... that he actually has the corresponding Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique, it seems the secrets of Fierce Feather Star Realm are even greater than we imagined."


    "Yes, the semi-divine inheritance is most likely false; it was probably a more powerful Divine," the deep voice said. "Normally, a false god who''s just ignited the Divine Fire, even if they learned the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique... wouldn''t likely be qualified to leave behind an inheritance. I suspect he''s received the legacy of a true Divine, it''s just unclear which one from the war ten thousand years ago."


    "No rush."


    "All secrets will eventually be revealed."


    "As long as Li Yuan is loyal to our Seven Star Civilization, that''s enough for now," Dongfang Ji said, closing his eyes gently. "The ''Battle of Divine of the Nine Mountains World'' that happened ten thousand years ago, there were only so many powerful divines participating, and those of the Earth System were even rarer... Mm, those three treasures Li Yuan needs, you go find ''Fang Yao Divine'' from the Multiverse Commerce Guild to gather them for me within a day."


    "Rest assured, master."


    ...


    Mingxu Star Realm, Bright Moon Base, in the meeting room.


    Everyone was waiting patiently.


    "Li Yuan."


    One of the projections, Fang Hai who had been closing his eyes all along, suddenly opened them, revealing a slight smile: "It''s all set. In two days, most of the treasures on the list will be delivered."


    "In four days, those three most precious treasures will also be gathered and sent to you, alright?"


    "However, those three most precious types of treasure have a total value of 100,000 Seven Stars Points and together with the other treasures you''ve requested... it''ll come to a total of 500,000 Seven Stars Points."


    Fang Hai changed ''three days'' to ''four days.''


    "Alright." Li Yuan nodded, 500,000 Seven Stars Points? Indeed, it was an extravagant fortune.


    But as long as he could practice them, it would be worth it.


    Not to mention within the Seven Star Civilization, even looking at the entire Dimensional Domain... how many can practice two Supreme Star Techniques at the same time?


    Even the powerful Ancient Torch Divine only cultivated the ''All Things Divine Body'' and ''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' to Perfection of the same rank.


    "If that''s the case."


    "Li Yuan, then you go ahead and practice first, if you need anything, just communicate with any one of us three," Fang Hai said.


    "Yes, Principal."


    ...


    After finalizing the many details.


    Li Yuan did not return to Xia Country to perform Spiritual Guidance, but chose to retreat within Bright Moon Base.


    "The Hall of Inheritance is absolutely safe, but Gu You''s Perception Ability is too strong."


    "Moreover, I''ve requested many rare and precious treasures; perhaps the semi-divines might not notice, but what about Alliance Hierarch Dongfang?" Li Yuan pondered. "Will he guess that I am practicing a Supreme Star Technique?"


    "Once I return, will he secretly observe me?"


    Li Yuan greatly admired the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang; he had been his idol since he was young.


    But because of his admiration and gradual contact with him, he grew more in awe of Dongfang.


    And the same went for Gu You.


    "Spiritual Guidance involves the Mind Spirit Divine Palace," Li Yuan mused silently. "This is my biggest secret... I can''t reveal it unless I''m absolutely capable of protecting myself."


    If the Nine Layer Star Vein is exposed? It doesn''t matter; it can be attributed to his innate talent for Star Veins.


    If the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is revealed, everything becomes unpredictable.


    ...


    Inside a Fourth-order Battleship, in a Quiet Chamber.


    Li Yuan''s Divine Sense enveloped all directions, ensuring there was no power spying.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, it was highly unlikely for anyone to have a higher Skill Realm or spiritual power than Li Yuan.


    "Even if the Three Great Beast Emperors join forces to attack, they couldn''t break through a Fourth-order Battleship instantly," Li Yuan''s heart grew even calmer. "I hope everything goes smoothly."


    Wu Manong''s death, Li Yuan couldn''t say he was too heartbroken, he was just somewhat sentimental; after all, their emotional bond was not that deep.


    But Li Yuan became more keenly aware of one thing¡ªbecoming stronger! He must become even stronger!


    "To become the strongest Second Rank Life in history."


    "The first Prime Warrior of civilization? Not enough! I must become the strongest Second Rank Life in the history of many civilizations in the entire Dimensional Domain," Li Yuan''s heart vowed silently. "Only then can I completely pacify the many Second Level Star Realms, making our Seven Star Civilization stronger."


    The strength of a civilization must be upheld by generation after generation of strong individuals stepping forward, contributing.


    The first generation of Martial Artists stepped forward, shaped the Law with their bodies, sacrificed their lives, and initiated the beginning of life evolution for the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Semi-Divine Lant stepped forward, saving the Seven Star Civilization from its first crisis of extinction.


    The rise of Alliance Hierarch Dongfang made the Seven Star Civilization truly powerful, causing many Foreign Civilizations to fear, daring not to invade again.


    "And I."


    "I have the chance to surpass all predecessors in the history of Seven Star Civilization, even surpassing Senior Dongfang, to become a Divine." Li Yuan''s travels through more Star Realms, the more he saw, the stronger this obsession became in his heart.


    "Let''s begin." Li Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness entering the second level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    He began the second Spiritual Guidance.


    ```

 Chapter 307 The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)

    Rustle~ Li Yuan''s consciousness condensed, easily passing from the first to the second layer of white jade staircase under the oppression of spiritual power.He arrived at the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    The second layer hadn''t changed much compared to before, save for that one Jade Platform.


    But in the hall, golden mist wafted about.


    "The first Spiritual Guidance came when my Spiritual Awakening Level reached 25%, so no Origin Power entered my body, and thus, no golden mist," Li Yuan mused. "But the second Spiritual Guidance, activated when the Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, does that overlap with the entry of Origin Power?"


    So much time had passed.


    The more Li Yuan explored the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the more he understood, and many of his previous conjectures had been confirmed.


    With every 10% increase in Spiritual Awakening Level, golden mist would emerge as the source of the power from the Origin Power entering his body.


    Spiritual Guidance, on the other hand, occurred every 25% increase, guiding him within the space of the Life Star.


    "Unfortunately, I can''t use this golden mist to enhance my Physical Quality for now," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having broken through to level 37 of spiritual power and feeling a change in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan had tried... The Origin Power could no longer merge into his flesh, nor could it merge into the Sea of Source Energy.


    Because Li Yuan hadn''t yet condensed an Origin Pill.


    "Even if I don''t actively advance to level 30, my Physical Quality has reached a limit; no amount of golden mist can further improve it," Li Yuan thought. "This time, the entrance of Origin Power can only be set aside for now."


    "It''s a pity that this golden mist can''t promote the growth of spiritual power alone."


    The previous four times when Origin Power entered his body.


    The golden mist could assist both with physical transformation and the growth of spiritual power... But this time, Li Yuan also attempted to integrate the golden mist into his consciousness body, trying to help his spiritual power transform.


    He found that it was unsuccessful.


    "The entry of Origin Power, enhancing Physical Quality is the core; the fusion of golden mist into consciousness... only comes with the growth of spiritual power as an added benefit," Li Yuan affirmed this understanding.


    Advance to the Flying Heaven level? Li Yuan wouldn''t do it...


    Less than two years since he became a Prime Warrior, nowhere near awakening his Star Meridians to their limits, Li Yuan naturally wouldn''t break through.


    "My goal is to reach the Eight Star Veins while I''m still a Prime Warrior," Li Yuan contemplated.


    The longer he cultivated, the more Li Yuan realized the difficulty of awakening the Star Meridians; the difficulty increased exponentially the further he progressed.


    Yet Li Yuan never abandoned his goal of achieving the Eight Star Veins.


    "Hum~"


    As he pondered, Li Yuan''s consciousness condensed on the second layer''s Jade Platform in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    This Jade Platform had only been successfully used once during the first Spiritual Guidance.


    After that, no matter how Li Yuan tried, there was no response.


    But today.


    "Boom!" When Li Yuan''s consciousness focused on the Jade Platform, he felt as if it had an invisible suction force, quickly absorbing his consciousness into it.


    Li Yuan couldn''t stop the process, or rather, he simply went with the flow.


    Seconds later.


    Li Yuan''s surroundings transformed, and he found himself in the endless dark starry sky, with countless twinkling stars in the distant void... He was once again in the familiar space of his Life Star.


    And today was obviously different from usual days. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Five Star Veins." Li Yuan could easily sense, in this vast space, the five Star Veins formed by countless Life Stars... as well as a multitude of scattered, unconnected Life Stars.


    This was the result of Li Yuan''s years of solitary cultivation and Law Creation.


    "Hopefully, with the help of the second Spiritual Awakening, I can ascend to a higher level," Li Yuan anticipated in his heart.


    His inner tranquility stirred a wisp of peculiar change in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Time elapsed.


    Gradually.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In the vast space of the Life Star, streaks of purple mist emitting a strange glow appeared out of nowhere.


    These streams emerged from the very depths of the Life Star space, crossed the vast space in the blink of an eye, and drifted toward Li Yuan''s consciousness body.


    "Here they come." Li Yuan, whose spiritual power now greatly surpassed that of his first Spiritual Guidance, detected these purple streams.


    At the same time, he also felt the vitality and liveliness contained in these streams.


    It was very mysterious.


    Clearer than during the first Spiritual Guidance, Li Yuan waited patiently.


    Seconds later.


    "Hum~" The first strand of purple mist merged silently into Li Yuan''s consciousness body, combining perfectly.


    In an instant!


    "Hm?" Li Yuan felt his field of vision in his consciousness body expand rapidly: "Have I changed?"


    It was as if the lens had zoomed out sharply, yet it was clearer than before.


    This state was bizarre, yet incredibly real.


    "Five Star Veins!"


    "Life Stars!"


    "Countless stars." Li Yuan''s ''vision'' finally stabilized.


    At that moment, empowered by the purple mist, his perspective was elevated to its peak; he felt as if he could overlook the entire Life Star space and had a sense of control over everything.


    One star after another, endless!


    All these countless stars were asleep, whether Dead Stars, or unawakened Life Stars... all under Li Yuan''s perception and observation.


    "My Perception Ability seems to be stronger than during the first Spiritual Guidance," Li Yuan realized.


    Last time, he could only observe most of the Dark Space.


    This time, he could faintly glimpse the whole picture.


    "Those are the unawakened Life Stars." In this strange state, Li Yuan could feel the very few exceptions among billions of silent stars.


    Life Stars are the rare few.


    With a body like the universe, billions of Dead Stars... finding the awakened Life Stars is like panning for gold in a desert, normally very difficult, and a slight misstep can backfire.


    Therefore, even for those extraordinary geniuses, awakening Star Veins is incredibly challenging and slow.


    At this moment.


    "Seeking the minuscule in the dust, combining two into one..." That vast and profound voice suddenly echoed, and Li Yuan had been patiently waiting for this moment.

 Chapter 307 The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_2

    His realm had far surpassed the past, and only by listening once more could Li Yuan appreciate the profundity of this sound, which could be called the "Sound of the Great Dao".It contained a strange power, guiding Li Yuan.


    "Follow the sensation."


    "Divine merges with stars! Divine merges with body! Divine merges with intent!" Li Yuan followed the invisible guidance of the Sound of the Great Dao.


    Whoosh~ His consciousness instantly scattered completely, diversifying into myriad parts.


    Huh!


    Tens of thousands of spiritual thoughts crossed the vast space of the Life Star in an instant, easily perceiving those few unawakened Life Stars that twinkled faintly among the billions of stars... The entire process was astonishingly fast.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The numerous spiritual thoughts that Li Yuan had divided into had already fused directly into the sensed stars, swiftly imprinting his own Mark.


    "Boom!" "Boom!"


    It was as if a city, in a sudden, had been lit up, the space of the Life Star that already had some brightness... was becoming visibly brighter at a speed perceptible to the naked eye!!


    Ten thousand! Twenty thousand! Thirty thousand... A vast number of Life Stars were being lit up simultaneously at this moment.


    As a Second Rank Life, the difficulty of Li Yuan''s Life Star awakening was a whole level higher than when he was at the First Rank.


    Similarly, his spiritual power was also much stronger than before.


    "Invisible guidance."


    "Perfect Star Vein." Li Yuan''s strong soul barely maintained consciousness.


    He himself knew.


    Among those tens of thousands of Life Stars that were almost awakened simultaneously, many belonged to already awakened Star Meridians... and a large number of Life Stars belonged to unawakened Star Meridians.


    On two of the Star Meridians, when the last Life Star awakened, a total of 129,600 Life Stars came together, forming a sense of perfection.


    One less Life Star was flawed, one more was superfluous.


    Flawlessly perfect! S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This, was the new Perfect Star Vein.


    "Rumble~" The previously scattered, unstructured Life Stars, also reached the critical point of Star Vein awakening... and began to circulate.


    This, was the awakening of new Star Meridians!


    ...


    In the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his body constantly radiating a hazy divine glow, occasionally enveloped by a strand of light circling around him.


    After a long while.


    The light converged all over his body, returning to normal, and Li Yuan opened his eyes.


    "Eight hours?" Li Yuan''s consciousness had always been clear, fully aware of his own changes.


    Li Yuan''s gaze swept directly over a line on the Divine Palace panel:


    [Star Meridian: 6 Star Meridians (10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+6 Layers+6 Layers+4 Layers)]


    "The second Spiritual Guidance has completed the second and third Star Meridians into Perfect Star Veins," Li Yuan marveled silently, "and also greatly advanced the other Star Meridians."


    The first Spiritual Guidance went from nothing to something, causing Li Yuan to awaken his first Perfect Star Vein.


    The second time, it was about completion! And it also awakened the sixth Star Meridian.


    "It also awakened a large number of chaotic and unstructured Life Stars," Li Yuan noted silently, "bringing me much closer to awakening the seventh Star Meridian."


    It could be said.


    The second Spiritual Guidance had effects that far exceeded Li Yuan''s expectations.


    "At the very least, I now have the foundation to cultivate three Supreme Star Techniques," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled, "In this regard, I''ve already surpassed the Ancient Torch Divine."


    The number of Star Meridians determines the upper limit of one''s physical realm.


    The quality of the Star Meridians determines the upper limit of the Star Techniques.


    Among the civilizations in the Dimensional Domain, Nine Layers Star Veins are nearly mythical... Now that Li Yuan has awakened three Perfect Star Veins, it would definitely cause a huge disturbance if word got out.


    Luckily!


    Star Meridians are inconspicuous and hard to detect, and as Li Yuan''s own strength increases, it will become even harder for Demigods to spy on them.


    After pondering for a moment.


    "Principal, I now have enough confidence that, once the treasure is in place, I will be able to match the Beast Emperor in a month," Li Yuan chose to send a message to Fang Hai.


    Shortly thereafter.


    Fang Hai had already replied: "Within three days, all the treasures will be delivered."


    "Three days?" Li Yuan pondered silently, and then resumed his focused cultivation, with the many intricacies of condensing the Star Mark of the "All Things Divine Body" emerging in his mind.


    "All Things Divine Body" is an extension of the "Great Earth Divine Body," with the two being closely related.


    There are many similarities between their Star Marks.


    As a powerful individual who has grasped the Second Rank Star Marks of the "Great Earth Divine Body," Li Yuan found even the comprehension of the Mysteries of the Star Marks of the "All Things Divine Body" challenging, deep, and profound.


    "So complex."


    "If it weren''t for my insight into the True Meaning of Earth, it would be almost impossible to succeed," Li Yuan thought to himself, patiently contemplating.


    He must fully grasp the Mysteries of the Star Marks before attempting to imprint them on the Life Star.


    Luckily, as long as he could replicate and imprint, there was no need for complete understanding.


    ...


    While Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation in the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    The outside world, the Seven Star Civilization, had begun a large-scale mobilization.


    "Abandon Bright Moon Base."


    "Evacuate! Dismantle everything useful, and evacuate."


    "We can''t defend two bases at once, we will lose them both," orders were issued one after another.


    Many Martial Artists of the Bright Moon Base were filled with reluctance, especially those who had been stationed at Bright Moon Base for decades, felt an even deeper unwillingness to leave.


    In their hearts, this place was their hometown.


    But the current situation left them no choice.


    "Let''s withdraw, concentrate our forces on Bright Moon Base, as long as we''re alive, as long as we haven''t given up, there''s still hope of winning in the future."


    "Once we win the war completely, we''ll return to Bright Moon Base," many Martial Artists comforted each other.


    But in their hearts, most felt pessimistic.


    This past year, the Seven Star Civilization''s expansion in the Mingxu Star Realm went from victory to defeat... especially the recent major rout, which greatly oppressed the spirits of countless Martial Artists, all shrouded in a sense of impending failure.


    Even the appearance of the "Spirit Gun," slaughtering all directions, only stemmed this downward trend.

    Just one sentence!No matter how strong the Spirit Gun is, can it kill the Beast Emperor? Without the strength to defeat the Beast Emperor, victory in this Star Realm war is doomed. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire


    ...


    Day by day, a large number of First and Second Rank Martial Artists were withdrawn back to Xia Country.


    To preserve the fighting force.


    And the True Intent Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors, who were originally stationed at the Bright Moon Base, all arrived at the Bright Moon Base.


    This also caused the "Flying Heaven Level combat power" of the Bright Moon Base to quickly reach 40.


    Inside the conference room of a Fourth-order Battleship.


    "Tavares, Jiang Zai," said the San Ye Semi Divine through the projection, "you two need to think carefully... Once you break through, you won''t be able to retreat and will be trapped here forever."


    "The passage to the Mingxu Star Realm has just expanded, and it''s nearly impossible to expand to a Third Level Star Realm in a short amount of time."


    "Semi Divine, I''ve thought it through," Tavares said in a low voice. "To fully conquer this world, we need extremely strong Flying Heaven Warriors... Li Yang, Lei Meng, they are average in realm and comprehension, even if given a hundred years, they might not reach the Flying Heaven Peak level."


    "Only we, once we break through, have a hope of reaching the Flying Heaven Peak within ten years, at least reaching Second Rank. By then, whether it''s internal war or future defense, there will be no more challengers," Tavares said.


    "Someone has to take charge."


    "Moreover," said Jiang Zai, "the Mingxu Star Realm is vast enough to not be boring... perhaps, one might even become a Semi Divine in the Mingxu Star Realm, and after many years, if our Seven Star Civilization has spread, perhaps we will be regarded as the ancestors of a realm."


    San Ye Semi Divine and Tavares couldn''t help but laugh at Jiang Zai''s words.


    But upon careful thought, it was indeed possible.


    "Alright."


    "We aim to conquer the Mingxu Star Realm, and indeed we need strong people to make contributions," San Ye Semi Divine said slowly. "Rest assured... the alliance will treat you fairly. After your breakthrough, there will be no shortage of cultivation resources for you."


    "Thank you, Semi Divine," Tavares and Jiang Zai both said in unison.


    That same day.


    Tavares and Jiang Zai began to condense Origin Pills within the warship... Once this step is taken, there''s no turning back.


    ...


    September 6th.


    Li Yuan, who had been in secluded cultivation at the Bright Moon Base, finally received the news.


    He took the Star Realm passage back to Jiangnan Province in Xia Country.


    The world was still shrouded in misty rain, in the sky outside a war base.


    "Principal," Li Yuan greeted with respect.


    "I always feel you have changed a lot in just a few days," Fang Hai said with a light sigh, "You always give us surprises."


    "Thanks to the principal''s guidance and help," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "I won''t take credit from Li Yang and Lie Feng Semi Divine. I haven''t meddled in your path of cultivation," Fang Hai said with a smile as he flipped his hand and handed over a Storage Treasure.


    "Everything you need is in here, check it yourself," Fang Hai said.


    "Yes," Li Yuan didn''t dare to be careless and let his Divine Sense seep into the silver sliver.


    He checked each treasure one by one.


    All were correct.


    "Thank you, Principal," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I will certainly pay back these 500,000 Seven Stars Points to the alliance as soon as possible."


    Li Yuan had no intention of taking advantage.


    "No need."


    "These treasures are considered a gift I purchased and delivered to you," Fang Hai said with a smile, "Also as a compensation for the Visualization Method you gave me last time."


    "Visualization Method?" Li Yuan was a bit bewildered and asked, "Principal, didn''t you give me 30,000 points at that time?"


    "Ha ha!"


    "Do you really think 30,000 points can buy a Divine Visualization Method?" Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was startled.


    "Alright, let''s conclude this matter. These 500,000 Seven Stars Points are my compensation," Fang Hai said with a smile. "You use these treasures to cultivate in peace... Don''t take unnecessary risks, and if you feel you can''t defeat the Beast Emperor after completing your cultivation, don''t force yourself."


    "Yes."


    Not long afterward.


    Watching Fang Hai leave, Li Yuan pondered for a long time, making sure there was no one around to sense him.


    Hum~


    Li Yuan disappeared into the mist and rain along the invisible fluctuations.


    Ancient Divine Palace, waiting in this area, Li Yuan had already sensed the presence of the Ancient Divine Palace upon his return to Xia Country.


    ...


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, in the spacious hall.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere, and a girl in white slowly walked down from the void in the hall, puzzled, "Brother, you''re back so soon? Is the war in the Mingxu Star Realm over?"


    "Not yet."


    "I''ve encountered some trouble," Li Yuan said with a smile. "I''m preparing to go into seclusion for a month, striving to cultivate the ''All Things Divine Body'' to the Second Order Limit, and then go back to the fight."


    "Hmm, cultiva...," the girl began to respond but suddenly realized the implication, "All Things Divine Body?"


    "Brother, have you awakened the second of the Nine Layer Star Veins?" the girl asked in shock, staring at Li Yuan, "So soon?"


    "I''ve just been cultivating methodically," Li Yuan shook his head, "Before I knew it, the second Star Vein reached the Nine Layers."


    Before I knew it?


    The girl fell silent.


    "Fine, it''s a good thing," the girl showed a smile, "Then go on and cultivate."


    "Yes," Li Yuan turned and walked down a distant corridor, entering the ''Divine Crystal Chamber.''


    The girl stood there.


    "Really, he''s cultivating the ''All Things Divine Body''," the girl inwardly sighed.


    She controlled the entire Ancient Divine Palace and could monitor every corner of it if she wished.


    "Methodical cultivation?" The girl shook her head slightly, "My brother must be hiding a big secret."


    It was a common practice for beings to have hidden secrets, so the girl was not surprised.


    "I just hope that such surprises come more and more," the girl''s lips curved in a slight smile, "With such a high Star Vein talent, perhaps, once he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, he really has a hope to awaken the Eight Star Veins and cultivate the three Supreme Star Techniques."

    Li Yuan''s talent indeed exceeded Gu You''s understanding.


    ...


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.

 Chapter 307 The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_4

    Li Yuan sat silently, sensing the rich Divine Crystal Energy around him."Normally, a Prime Warrior has limited physical quality and can cultivate up to two Star Techniques at most," Li Yuan pondered silently, "If I want to battle against Flying Heaven Peak elites, I must cultivate the fourth Star Technique to stand a better chance."


    Therefore, the only option was to elevate the upper limit of his physical quality.


    "I''ve cultivated the ''Great Earth Divine Body,'' which significantly enhances my physical quality beyond that of other Prime Warriors, allowing me to successfully cultivate the third Star Technique, ''Shadow Division Technique,''" Li Yuan thought to himself, "Now, the only way is to cultivate the ''All Things Divine Body'' to the limit of a Prime Warrior, to have a chance of cultivating four Star Techniques."


    This was also why the Body Refining Star Technique was known as the ''Origin of All Techniques.''


    It could enhance the strength, and even the potential, of a warrior in all aspects.


    Boom! With a wave of his hand, Li Yuan instantly made countless precious treasures appear.


    "All Things Divine Body." Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    Li Yuan began to channel the corresponding Star Technique''s mystery within him, an intangible force acting upon the multitude of precious treasures.


    He started to absorb the essence contained within them.


    Even though Li Yuan had made thorough preparations,


    transforming the Great Earth Divine Body into the All Things Divine Body was destined to take a very long time.


    Transformation of the body couldn''t be rushed.


    Being too hasty could easily lead to mistakes in cultivation, causing damage to the body or even leading to its collapse.


    Ten minutes later.


    Assisted by many rare items.


    "The first, First Order All Things Star Mark!" Li Yuan successfully imprinted a Star Mark on his Life Star. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even if it was a Supreme Star Technique, since it was still a First Order Star Mark, it was relatively easy for Li Yuan to cultivate.


    In just one day, Li Yuan cultivated the "All Things Divine Body" to the First Order Limit.


    But there wasn''t much change to his body.


    "Second Order All Things Star Mark," Li Yuan thought to himself, "This is the real challenge."


    The difficulty of imprinting a Second Order Star Mark skyrocketed by more than dozens of times.


    ...


    As days passed, Li Yuan was deeply immersed in cultivation inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    The situation in the outside world was also changing.


    September 10th.


    At Tianliang Star, outside a Star Realm entrance.


    A group of powerful beings stood in the void, all emanating strong auras.


    The leader was a blonde man dressed in purple robes, with a high nose and sunken eye sockets, his eyes deep. He exuded a supremely domineering aura.


    A young man in black, with the weakest aura, stood by the side of the blonde man.


    "Teacher."


    The young man in black couldn''t help but send a voice transmission, "There''s no need for someone of your stature to personally welcome the highly talented Lu Lei and Rolbis."


    His teacher was one of the pinnacle existences of the Tianliang Civilization¡ªJin Liang Semi Divine.


    Now, he was one of the three great councilors of the Tianliang Civilization, his strength extremely frightening, absolutely at the peak of demigod existence.


    "Fu Yuan, be patient," Jin Liang Semi Divine said slowly, "Your talent far exceeds that of Yu Fu and others. Now you have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage as a Prime Warrior... But your temperament is far from adequate, still needing much polishing."


    Fu Yuan was known as the number one Prime Warrior of the current Tianliang Civilization!


    In terms of strength, he was probably close to Jing He... however, he hadn''t participated in the great battle of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    "Disciple will remember well," replied Fu Yuan verbally, though not truly taking it to heart.


    Suddenly!


    Ripples spread across the distant curtain of light.


    "Here it comes," Jin Liang Semi Divine''s eyes focused slightly. Not just him, but the other demigods and Flying Heaven Peak elites around him also lit up with expectation in their eyes.


    Only Fu Yuan was clueless.


    Boom!


    A young man wearing black Combat Armor stepped out and emerged from the Star Realm gateway.


    As he appeared, it was as if the whole world changed for a moment, a brutal and bloody aura spreading rapidly, causing the complexions of the many Flying Heaven Warriors present to change dramatically.


    Fu Yuan, being the weakest, felt almost suffocated.


    The aura was too terrifying.


    Everyone had to admit, in the presence of the young man in black Combat Armor, even the formidable Jin Liang Semi Divine seemed markedly inferior.


    "Jin Liang, long time no see," said the young man in black Combat Armor, his voice hoarse.


    "Ye An, over the years, your strength has grown stronger," Jin Liang Semi Divine sincerely admitted.


    Boom!


    Fu Yuan''s eyes widened in realization of who the person was!


    Ye An Semi Divine, the first demigod of the Myriad Demons Civilization, touted as the closest being to a god in their ranks.


    He had actually come?


    ¡ª¡ª


    PS: Asking for a monthly ticket! Brothers!

 Chapter 308 The Ultimate Prime Warrior

    To Ye An Semi-Divine,Fu Yuan had heard of his legendary tales.


    The Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization were originally from the same lineage, just as many Star Realms are completely interconnected.


    In a sense, the Tianliang Civilization is a sub-civilization of the Myriad Demons Civilization, and related rumors and messages are even more prevalent.


    The most famous battle of Ye An Semi-Divine''s legendary deeds was the one a hundred years ago, where the Myriad Demons Civilization invaded the Seven Star Civilization... Ye An Semi-Divine also participated in that battle.


    In the end, he was the only one who survived an encounter with Dongfang Ji and managed to escape.


    Back then, Ye An Semi-Divine was mocked many times.


    But later, as Dongfang Ji grew ever stronger and his fame soared... the battle with Dongfang Ji from those years, on the contrary, contributed to the fame of Ye An Semi-Divine.


    Now, Ye An Semi-Divine is universally acknowledged as the unparalleled existence amongst the demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Even Jin Liang Semi-Divine, held in high esteem within the Tianliang Civilization, far from compared to the other.


    "I pay my respects to Ye An Semi-Divine," said the group of Flying Heaven Peak Martial Artists, along with Fu Yuan, with a respectful salute.


    "Ye An Semi-Divine," the other demi-gods slightly bowed their heads, as a sign of respect.


    Among the demigods, the gaps in strength and status are also astoundingly large.


    Among the many strong ones present, only Jin Liang Semi-Divine had the qualifications to speak with him.


    "Ye An, you''ve actually come this time," Jin Liang Semi-Divine said with a smile, "It''s just a contest over a Second Level Star Realm."


    "If it were an ordinary Second Level Star Realm contest, indeed it wouldn''t matter," Ye An Semi-Divine said indifferently, "But since Ming Mountain''s treasures are involved, even the Eastern Demon Deity is quite concerned... Thus, he has commanded me to come here and ensure the treasures are seized."


    The Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses were slightly puzzled, but the demi-gods felt a chill in their hearts.


    Eastern Demon Deity!


    You must know that, similar to the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Myriad Demons Civilization internally has many divine kingdoms, each founded by a ''divine,'' serving as an extremely ancient and powerful civilization with a long inheritance, with numerous divine kingdoms within the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But, divines do die!


    Many ancient civilizations, occasionally produce a divine, swiftly rising to power, but once the divine falls... that civilization naturally declines.


    As for the Myriad Demons Civilization, divines are born generation after generation, always having a divine in power, hence its heritage is naturally unfathomably deep.


    The Eastern Demon Deity is currently the ''first divine'' of the Myriad Demons Civilization, with an overwhelming might.


    Only such an existence, with a single command, could bring Ye An Semi-Divine here.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Within the Star Realm passage, three more figures emerged consecutively, following behind Ye An Semi-Divine.


    Their life force was very weak, yet they drew the attention of Jin Liang Semi-Divine and others.


    Second Rank Life?


    The numerous powerhouses of the Tianliang Civilization understood that if things were as usual, the super geniuses participating in the battle from the Myriad Demons Civilization this time should be these three.


    "You three, meet Jin Liang Semi-Divine," said Ye An Semi-Divine slowly.


    "Lu Lei, I''ve seen the Semi-Divine," said the burly man in purple Combat Armor solemnly, his humanoid form boasted a torso covered in golden fur, giving him the appearance of a lion at first glance.


    "Rolbis, I''ve seen the Semi-Divine," the handsome young man, oozing nobility, bowed.


    "Xue Yan," the last black-clad youth''s demeanor was cold as he spat out two words and nodded slightly.


    He seemed quite arrogant.


    This scene made everyone present unconsciously look at him, causing a few demi-gods to frown.


    Too disrespectful.


    Even if a True Intent Prime Warrior seemed like a genius... whether or not they can become a demigod is still up in the air.


    Jin Liang Semi-Divine is a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse.


    "Xue Yan is an ''Inner Sect Disciple'' of North Moon Deity, he has been in seclusion for a long time, so he is not familiar with etiquette, I hope everyone can forgive him," Ye An Semi-Divine explained.


    The many demi-gods then understood.


    A divine''s disciple? Not to mention already being an Inner Sect Disciple, even if only a nominal disciple, the status is also extremely high.


    Being impolite to demi-gods is somewhat normal.


    "For this contest for Ming Mountain''s treasures, Myriad Demons Civilization''s team will be led by Xue Yan, with Lu Lei and Rolbis as aids," Ye An Semi-Divine said to Jin Liang Semi-Divine, "What about you all?"


    To seize the treasures, elites are ultimately necessary.


    One top-tier fighter is worth more than a hundred mediocrities.


    "One is my Direct Disciple, Fu Yuan, who has reached the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank in the True Meaning of Metal," Jin Liang Semi-Divine introduced Fu Yuan, who stood beside him, "He''s considered the best of this generation in our Tianliang Civilization."

    Fu Yuan wore an obedient expression.


    "Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank? Not bad, his skills are comparable to Lu Lei and Rolbis," Ye An Semi-Divine nodded in acknowledgment.


    This caused a trace of excitement to appear on Fu Yuan''s face ¨C it was an accolade from Ye An Semi-Divine.


    "Within the Star Realm, our Tianliang Civilization has eight True Intent Prime Warriors, and an additional twenty Flying Heaven Martial Artists," Jin Liang Semi-Divine said, "Out of these twenty, four have condensed True Intent."


    "Four True Intent Flying Heavens?" Ye An Semi-Divine''s eyes showed a rare surprise.


    Flying Heaven Martial Artists within the Mingxu Star Realm had all just made their breakthroughs.


    This meant the four True Intent Flying Heaven Martial Artists were previously ''True Intent Prime Warriors.''


    To keep so many top-tier geniuses within a single Star Realm?


    "Jin Liang, you indeed have the courage. Aren''t you afraid of losing everything?" Ye An Semi-Divine shook his head. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Ming Mountain''s treasures are worth it," Jin Liang Semi-Divine replied.


    "Besides, if you''re sending divine disciples, why should we be afraid? You should be aware of our other request," Jin Liang Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    "Hmm."


    "To help you destroy the Seven Star Civilization''s base in the Mingxu Star Realm," Ye An Semi-Divine nodded, "You don''t need to say it. If there''s a chance to weaken the Seven Star Civilization, we naturally won''t miss it... I''ve heard the ''Spirit Gun'' of the Seven Star Civilization has appeared, how powerful is he?"


    "Based on the information we control, his power should be close to Second Level," Jin Liang Semi-Divine stated gravely.

 Chapter 308 The Ultimate Prime Warrior_2

    He who was spoken of as level 34 wasn''t lacking in star techniques, weapons, or anything else like the Chi Yen Beast King; instead, he was a level 34 powerhouse without any weaknesses."Close to level 34? That powerful?"


    "Does that mean he''s stronger than Fang Hai, who emerged from the Seven Star Civilization decades ago?" The Ye An Semi Divine''s eyes flashed with surprise, "Is his strength due to his skill, or his star techniques? Are there any specific combat videos?"


    "There''s no combat video." Jin Liang, the Semi Divine, said, "Our assessment of his power is also based on hearsay... Several days ago, he fought with the ''Chi Yen Beast King'' of the Mingxu Beast Clan, and the battle ended in a draw, with several Flying Heaven Beast Kings slain by his hand."

    "We can only judge from his fighting videos in the Rob Sea Star Realm that he seems quite adept at the ''Phantom Body'' technique, and has cultivated a body refining star technique," intoned Jin Liang, the Semi Divine.


    The news of Li Yuan''s battle with the Chi Yen Beast King had already spread, and many were aware of it.


    Combat video? There were some, but the Tianliang Civilization hadn''t gotten their hands on it.


    "Xue Yan, are you confident?" Ye An Semi Divine turned to the proud youth in black.


    That single statement made it clear to the many demigods of Tianliang Civilization... Xue Yan''s strength was at least comparable to level 33.


    "I''ve seen his combat video in the Rob Sea Star Realm," Xue Yan said gravely, "If it were at that time, I would be 70% confident in defeating him, but it would be difficult to kill him... As for his battle with the Chi Yen Beast King, if he used the Phantom Body, it wouldn''t be hard to force the Beast King to retreat."


    "Unless he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength won''t have greatly increased since his time in the Rob Sea Star Realm," he added.


    "Prime Warriors, unless they cultivate the Supreme Body Refinement Realm, always have their limits," Xue Yan asserted seriously.


    "If we meet," Xue Yan continued, "I''m not sure I could kill him, but defeating him shouldn''t be difficult."


    Xue Yan, as a disciple of a divine being, had absolute confidence in himself.


    "That''s enough," nodded Ye An Semi Divine. He held Xue Yan in high regard.


    Known to live for five thousand years, how vast were the lifespans of divine beings. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Direct disciples were usually only taken a few in a lifetime.


    Although the status of Inner Sect Disciples was slightly lower than that of direct disciples, divine beings would still teach them earnestly.


    It was considered good to take an Inner Sect Disciple every hundred years.


    Considering Ye An Semi Divine wasn''t able to become an Inner Sect Disciple of a divine being, it spoke volumes of Xue Yan''s talents.


    He was heralded as a rare genius in the Myriad Demons Civilization over the past century.


    Using the Immortal Ruins Civilization''s evaluation standards, Xue Yan was definitely a ''Divine Child Level Genius''; as long as he had time, reaching the peak of half-god status wouldn''t be difficult, and he even had a slight chance of becoming a god.


    "Lu Lei, Rolbis." Ye An Semi Divine suddenly looked at the two of them and said softly, "In line with the divine being''s command, you should know what to do if the situation truly becomes dire, right?"


    "Understood."


    "We know," Lu Lei and Rolbis both nodded without hesitation, both rising stars of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    However, compared to Xue Yan, they fell short, and they too were entrusted with a special mission.


    "Jin Liang."


    "There''s no time to lose, command them to move out," said Ye An Semi Divine, "The Seven Star Civilization will surely perceive the secrets of Ming Mountain''s treasure and will make their move sooner or later."


    "Mhm." Jin Liang, the Semi Divine, nodded and immediately turned to the youth in black beside him, "Fu Yuan, remember, when you''re in the Mingxu Star Realm, listen to Yu Fu''s advice."


    "And above all, obey Xue Yan''s orders."


    "Yes." The youth in black, Fu Yuan, felt stifled inside, but he could only agree verbally.


    ...


    Blue Star, Jiangnan Province.


    In the Ancient Divine Palace, within the Divine Crystal Chamber, radiant light filled the space.


    "Whirrrr~"


    Surrounded by a vast array of treasures, under the influence of Li Yuan''s powerful spiritual power and the operation of his methods, he continuously drew the essence out of these treasures, streaming non-stop into his body.


    Cultivating the "All Things Divine Body" involved two aspects.


    First, one must imprint a sufficient number of ''All Things Star Marks'' on the star meridian so that once activated, the star meridian could greatly increase the body''s strength, speed, and toughness in a very short time.


    Second, as the essence of the star meridian itself changes, even without activation of star techniques, the body''s base strength would increase.


    A level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior, even without using any star techniques, would already surpass most top-grade Origin Martial Artists who burst forth with star techniques in basic strength.


    This is the essence of basic strength!


    The numerous rare and valuable treasures Li Yuan needed, which were worth hundreds of thousands of points, were primarily to propel his body''s evolution.


    "Rumble~" Accompanied by the continuous imprinting of Second Order All Things Star Marks, Li Yuan''s body began transforming.


    This transformation wasn''t about becoming stronger, but about reinforcing the foundation.


    After all, the originally cultivated "Great Earth Divine Body" had already made his base very strong.


    Finally!


    As if he had reached a certain limit, Li Yuan''s muscles, bones, and skin... truly began to grow stronger, and his life level began an all-round leap.


    "Cultivating the ''All Things Divine Body'' has reached the Second Order, level 6," Li Yuan thought to himself, "I''ve now completely surpassed the ''Great Earth Divine Body''s'' Second Order Limit."


    The Great Earth Divine Body, as a Seventh Layer Star Technique, could only reach level 14 at its Second Order Limit.


    But the "All Things Divine Body," if cultivated to the Second Order Limit, could reach level 18.


    The gap widens with advanced star techniques.


    For instance, Third Layer Star Techniques could reach level 15 if cultivated by a Fifth Order Divine Being.


    Whereas the Ninefold Star Technique, if cultivated by a Fifth Order Divine Being, could reach up to level 45.


    It''s a clear domination.


    This is also a major reason why matchless prodigies can fight across different levels.


    "Ninefold Star Technique, known as the Supreme Star Technique, grants a special transformation upon reaching the limit of each order," Li Yuan murmured internally, "''True Solution of the Earth Star Vein'' significantly boosts harmony with the Earth Vein."

 Chapter 308 The Ultimate Prime Warrior_3

    ```"The ''All Things Divine Body'' is about transforming the body," Li Yuan thought with anticipation of the scene where he would cultivate this Supreme Star Technique to the Second Order Limit.


    "Chi Yen Beast King?"


    "Just give me some more time," Li Yuan''s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, "I''ll see if your hide is still thick enough."


    Additionally,


    "The principal mentioned that the top geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization can also come to kill at any moment? The top geniuses of a Divine Civilization?" Li Yuan thought to himself. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire


    Although he had fought against the geniuses of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, as his horizon of knowledge expanded, Li Yuan also knew that the few Semi-Divine level geniuses he had killed were definitely not the top geniuses of the Immortal Ruins Civilization... Just like Alicia and Kris from before, could they be considered top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization?


    But it is different at the Prime Warrior stage.


    The top geniuses will often remain at this realm for a long time, pursuing the awakening of more Star Meridians.


    "I really want to see how strong they can be," Li Yuan thought, harboring a killing intent.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization? That is, historically, the one that has inflicted the most severe disasters upon the Seven Star Civilization.


    And also the one with the deepest enmity against each other.


    "Continue," Li Yuan only flashed these thoughts through his mind.


    ...


    In the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Several large warships were flying out from the main base of the Tianliang Civilization, streaking across the Vast Sky, and rapidly approaching the Bright Moon Base.


    Inside one of the warships,


    stood nearly thirty silhouettes, all exuding powerful auras, with more than half of them being Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Leading them were none other than Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, Lu Lei, and Rolbis.


    "Yu Fu, my brother," Rolbis was elegant, smiling as he said, "You''ve always been in charge of the war against the Seven Star Civilization... Do you think we can win?"


    "It''s hard to say," the middle-aged man named Yu Fu shook his head, "I know that everyone here is extremely powerful... but we must not underestimate the Seven Star Civilization, they have given up the Mingxin Base, and all their forces are concentrated on the Bright Moon Base."


    "If we really want to attack forcefully... unless we have several Flying Heaven Peak warriors, otherwise, I estimate it will be difficult to win."


    Furthermore!


    "Besides the Spirit Gun, there is one more person from the Seven Star Civilization we must be wary of," Yu Fu said solemnly.


    "Are you going to mention Yu Jinghe again?" Fu Yuan snorted coldly, "Yu Fu, I think you''ve just been scared by that Yu Jinghe, despite breaking through to the Flying Heaven Realm, you don''t seem to have the slightest bit of courage."


    Yu Fu glanced at him and couldn''t be bothered to respond.


    Yu Fu is one of the ''Saint Heirs'' of the Tianliang Civilization and is also the strongest among the True Intent Flying Heaven warriors who had broken through... but after his breakthrough, when he went to fight Yu Jinghe, he still lost.


    "Stop arguing," a cold voice rang out.


    The war room fell silent.


    The speaker was Xue Yan... In less than a day since their arrival, everyone had already been subdued by his formidable strength.


    Even Yu Fu was defeated by him in three strikes.


    This is a very terrifying Prime Warrior.


    "We''ve arrived," Yu Fu suddenly spoke in a deep tone, and with a wave of his hand, a huge projection immediately appeared in the center of the warship''s conference room.


    It was an image of the Bright Moon Base.


    Everyone looked over.


    This one look stunned them all... so many huge flying saucer warships.


    "This many Fourth-order Battleships? Impossible!" Fu Yuan said in disbelief, "Twelve of them? No way."


    "The recent reconnaissance showed only six Fourth-order Battleships," Yu Fu was equally astonished.


    Fourth-order Battleships are terrifyingly powerful, and if they pursued Flying Heaven Warriors, naturally, they would fall short.


    But if they were to hold a defensive position, especially with so many... even the peak warriors of the Flying Heaven realm would feel their scalps tingle upon seeing them.


    "Retreat!" Xue Yan said softly.


    "Retreat just like that?" Fu Yuan couldn''t help but say, "Lord Xue Yan, maybe those battleships are fakes."


    "Why don''t you take the lead and try out their authenticity?" Xue Yan glanced coldly at Fu Yuan.


    Fu Yuan fell silent.


    "With so many Fourth-order Battleships, if they are all real... even if we can forcibly take it down, how many will die or be injured?" Rolbis shook his head, "It''s not worth the loss. The first target is the treasure of Ming Mountain."


    "If we can seize the treasure, then turning back to wipe out this base won''t be a difficult task," Lu Lei said in agreement.


    The three great geniuses from the Myriad Demons Civilization reached a consensus.


    "Depart!"


    "Heading to Ming Mountain."


    ...


    Within the Seven Star Civilization.


    "They''ve retreated."


    "As expected, they''ve retreated." Inside the conference room of a warship, while watching the projection on the huge screen, the large group of warships was seen withdrawing.


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors and True Intent Prime Warriors present all breathed a sigh of relief.


    They had been under tremendous pressure when they sensed the Tianliang Civilization''s mighty forces bearing down on them.


    "Tavares, your advice was really timely," Luo Chan couldn''t help but say, "How did you know that the Tianliang Civilization would launch an attack today, and even requested the alliance to urgently dispatch so many Fourth-order Battleships here?"


    "I cannot say," Tavares smiled mysteriously.


    Now, the highest commander within the Seven Star Civilization in the Star Realm was Tavares, who had broken through.


    In reality, Tavares was secretly sighing in his heart: "The intelligence of the alliance is indeed accurate."


    How did he know? Because Bai Shan Semi-Divine had directly told him yesterday: "It''s expected that this afternoon, the joint forces of the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization will come to attack. We must make them fearful and deter them from starting a major war."


    ```


    This intelligence capability,


    made Tavares suspect that a certain demigod within the Tianliang Civilization might very well be a mole for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ...


    Time flowed like water.


    The meddling of the Myriad Demons Civilization caused constant turmoil within the Mingxu Star Realm, and Li Yuan also learned much through messages.


    He was very anxious.


    But anxiety was of no use!


    Without sufficient strength, even if he emerged from seclusion, what could he do?


    Until September 18th.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber of the Ancient Divine Palace.


    "Boom boom boom~" Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his body bursting forth with booming sounds, hazy halos of light emanating from his body and striking out in all directions, making him look like a divine being at first glance,


    Even.


    As the halos of light converged, a formless power spread, lifting Li Yuan into the air.


    He slowly opened his eyes.


    "''All Things Divine Body,'' I''ve finally attained complete perfection."


    "Flight?" Li Yuan clenched his fists lightly, feeling the surging, vast power within him: "The Supreme Body Refining Star Technique, once it reaches the Second Order Limit, can actually break the shackles of my body... and reach Level 30."


    Level 30 Prime Warriors do not need to borrow the power of heaven and earth; their bodies undergo a transformation and can naturally soar and burrow.


    That''s right!


    As the source of all techniques, the Body Refining Star Technique enables practitioners to further break through their limits... and the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique is even more miraculous.


    Prime Warriors at Level 29.9, once they have cultivated it successfully, will undergo a fundamental transformation in the flesh, reaching Level 30.


    Even the Origin Power within them will undergo transformation under the nourishment of their powerful bodies.


    In short.


    The current Li Yuan, except for not having condensed an Origin Pill in the Sea of Source Energy, is almost no different from a true Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh~ Numerous beams of light converged, and a girl in white appeared out of thin air: "Congratulations, little brother, you have achieved the ultimate state of a Prime Warrior."


    It was Gu You.


    She had been silently observing Li Yuan, and when she saw that Li Yuan had succeeded, she could no longer sit still.


    "The ultimate state of a Prime Warrior?" Li Yuan was stunned.


    "Level 29.9 and Level 30, this step is like a chasm in the sky. So many so-called geniuses rely on their high perception, weapons, and treasures, etc., to dare to fight with Flying Heaven Warriors." The girl smiled and said, "Only one type of person is an exception."


    "That is the practitioner of the Supreme Body Refining Star Technique."


    "Once achieved, they remain at the Second Rank Life, but their foundation is on par with a Flying Heaven Warrior."


    "This is the ultimate state of a Prime Warrior," the girl said solemnly, "With a strong foundation, you can completely cultivate more and stronger Star Techniques."


    "If your perception of skills is high enough... you can completely be on par with the peak strength of Flying Heaven Warriors," the girl said with a smile.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod.


    He truly felt the terrifying aspect of the Supreme Star Technique, no wonder countless divine beings longed to cultivate it.


    Before long.


    Li Yuan continued to cultivate two other Star Techniques, "Nine Shadow Clones" and "Wind Feather."


    In fact, if there were better options, Li Yuan wouldn''t want to waste the talent of the third Perfect Star Vein.


    But, this was the best solution he could find for now.


    "After ending the great war in the Mingxu Star Realm, I''ll consider it," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Worst case, I''ll pay some price later to recultivate the Star Technique."


    Boom boom boom~


    A large number of precious treasures were taken out, and Li Yuan was amazed to find... cultivating Second Rank Star Technique with the foundation of a Flying Heaven Warrior was much easier than he had imagined.


    ...


    September 21st.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    All his cultivation was complete, and Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.

    "It''s time to go," Li Yuan bid farewell to Gu You, hurriedly leaving the Ancient Divine Palace and heading to the Mingxu Star Realm.

 Chapter 309 Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)

    The void outside the Ancient Divine Palace.Today, Jiangnan Province was treated to rare clear skies, the warm sunshine of late summer and early fall spilling over everyone.


    "What a pity, if only I had a few more months or even half a year to advance my fourth Star Meridian from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh, I could''ve directly cultivated the Seventh Layer Star Technique ''Light Transformation.''" Li Yuan flew through the void, cloaked in his Phantom Spirit Garment.


    ''Wind Feather'' and ''Light Transformation'' are both Escaping Method Star Techniques that can greatly increase a powerhouse''s movement technique speed.


    Movement technique speed is very important in combat.


    It''s also a crucial part of Li Yuan''s plans to learn.


    After all, despite Li Yuan''s unprecedented strength now, he wouldn''t dare claim certain victory against the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    In life and death battles, one must exert all possible effort.


    Therefore, before a battle, it''s natural to strive for the greatest improvement in strength.


    "This battle is urgent, thus I must appear in my strongest form," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    As for choosing to cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique ''Ninefold Shadow Clone,'' there was no issue.


    After all, he had already cultivated the Fifth Layer Star Technique ''Shadow Division Technique'' on the completed third Perfect Star Vein; advancing to that logically correlated Seventh Layer Star Technique was only natural.


    And the future?


    "Either find a way to discover a Nine Layers Star Technique that follows in line," Li Yuan thought, "or wait until I acquire another ''shadow class Nine Layers Star Technique'' and pay the price to shift my cultivation."


    For the moment, this Seventh Layer Star Technique was the most appropriate and fastest for Li Yuan to translate into combat strength.


    In fact, the Seventh Layer Star Technique was already incredibly powerful.


    Especially when combined with two Supreme Star Techniques, its potency was absolutely terrifying.


    "Geniuses of Myriad Demons Civilization?" A cold glint swept through Li Yuan''s eyes as he cultivated in seclusion.


    Occasionally, he would receive news and learn about many developments in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ...


    Whoosh! Li Yuan had already flown to the war base just outside the Star Realm passageway, surrounded by an expanse of weapon towers.


    This war base was a part of Xia Country''s strategic plan to hold the line against an ''invasion from the Mingxu Star Realm.''


    It was built on a grand scale, all according to the Rob Sea War Fortress standards.


    Before Li Yuan could get very close.


    "Li Yuan."


    Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Li Yuan." Two figures called out in succession. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Following closely.


    A slight distortion in the light nearby, and both a young man in black and an older man in white casual clothes appeared simultaneously.


    "Principal, Elder Bai Shan?" Li Yuan''s face revealed a trace of surprise, "Have you been waiting here this whole time?"


    How long had it been since he rushed here from the Ancient Divine Palace?


    "You messaged us yesterday, saying you expected to enter the Star Realm today, so we''ve been waiting here," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    He suddenly remembered Gu You mentioning before he left the Ancient Divine Palace that ''he sensed a Demigod-level Divine Sense making large-scale inquiries.''


    A Demigod, if they were to meticulously search through every speck of dust in the void, in theory, could find the Ancient Divine Palace.


    But doing so would be exhaustingly tedious, and without knowing a rough location, no Demigod would undertake such a task.


    Now, it seemed likely that it was Bai Shan Semi-Divine who conducted a rough inquiry.


    With this in mind, a hint of wariness arose in Li Yuan''s heart... while he trusted these elders, he also wanted to keep his secrets hidden.


    "Confident?" Fang Hai directly asked.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded firmly, "against Flying Heaven Peak warriors... I have the power to fight."


    Before leaving the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan had already sparred with a puppet operated by Number One in the Hundred Battles Arena and had a good grasp of his own strength.


    Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine exchanged glances.


    "Li Yuan, it''s not that we don''t trust you,"


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine said seriously, "but this matter is too important, and we need to ensure your safety."


    "I understand," Li Yuan smiled, "Elder and Principal, do you want to test my strength?"


    Li Yuan felt warmth in his heart.


    These elders were indeed very considerate, concerned that he might act impulsively. They had specifically waited here to verify that he truly had the strength to sweep through the Mingxu Star Realm before letting him enter.


    "Li Yuan, words alone are no proof."


    "Attack me and see," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan with a slight smile, "Let us see what level the strongest Prime Warrior in the history of the Seven Star Civilization can reach."


    Whoosh!


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine took a step forward and positioned himself at a distance to watch the fight.


    In the void, Li Yuan and Fang Hai stood facing each other from afar.


    "Alright."


    "Principal, then I shall launch an attack, be careful," Li Yuan nodded heavily, anticipation in his eyes.


    Fang Hai!


    Ever since high school, he had been hearing this name, only to later learn that this person was, in fact, his principal... That assassination attempt by the Flying Heaven Alien Race, that drop of water that streaked across heaven and earth, had left an unforgettable impression on him.


    Though he had seen many Demigods by now,


    Li Yuan always had the feeling that if Fang Hai were willing, he could easily surpass many Demigods... Just stepping into the threshold of the Law of Water was already astonishingly remarkable.


    "Unknowingly,"


    "I''ve grown to the point where the Principal himself needs to test my strength," Li Yuan thought proudly to himself.


    Step by step!


    In just over two years, Li Yuan had developed from a high school senior into a formidable presence.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan flipped his hand to grab the Black Chen Spear, and then his entire being burst into motion like a streak of light shooting across the vast sky, charging directly at Fang Hai.


    "Not a bad speed," Bai Shan Semi-Divine''s eyes lit up; Li Yuan''s instantaneous Burst Speed approached nearly six times the speed of sound.


    Such velocity, even among Flying Heaven Warriors, was considered exceptionally fast.


    Yet simply possessing this sort of speed was clearly not enough to convince Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai meanwhile stood still in the void, composed as ever.


    But in the next moment!


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan, who was in mid-flight, suddenly grew larger, instantly reaching a height of five meters. He was evidently using a Body Refining Star Technique... but the powerful and domineering aura released made Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine reveal a hint of shock in their eyes.

 Chapter 309 Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_2

    Too strong!At this moment, in their perception, Li Yuan seemed like a true Flying Heaven Warrior executing an extremely terrifying Star Technique, his might reaching the heavens.


    Whoosh! After the burst of the Body Refining Star Technique, Li Yuan immediately employed "Wind Feather", his already rapid speed soaring once again, surpassing eight times the speed of sound.


    In almost an instant, he had crossed a thousand meters of Vast Sky and arrived in front of Fang Hai.


    He drew upon the Mysteries of True Intent of both earth and wind.


    "Whoosh!"


    A spear cut across heaven and earth!


    What a dazzling thrust it was, leaving behind a visible mark in the void, as if it were splitting the world in half.


    "Hmm?" Previously calm and collected, Fang Hai''s face also showed a hint of seriousness in the face of Li Yuan''s explosive thrust.


    He struck out with his palm.


    Whoosh~ With a flick of his fingertips, streams of water materialized out of thin air in the void, each stream subtly connecting to the mystical Laws between heaven and earth, converging together to form a massive water vortex in an instant right in front of him!


    "Sizzle~"


    The Black Chen Spear pierced into the layers of water, feeling each layer containing astonishing resistance yet the entire vortex bearing a force of amazing suction... The Long Spear only penetrated three inches before being completely bound.


    "Suppress!" Fang Hai lightly withdrew his palm.


    That invisible water vortex surged along with his palm, rushing in from all directions, as if to completely bind Li Yuan.


    Had it been an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, they would have likely been directly suppressed.


    "Nine Shadows! Break!" Li Yuan suddenly roared, directly invoking the Seven Stars Technique "Shadow Clone".


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Li Yuan, who was tightly bound by the water with the Black Chen Spear, exploded like his body was split apart, instantly creating eight shadowy figures.


    The moment they split, each of the eight Phantom Bodies possessed a certain amount of power and burst forth at the same time.


    "Rumble~" The water vortex shattered, and Li Yuan seized this instant of opportunity to withdraw his spear and fly out, with the eight original Phantom Bodies dissipating into the void.

    A hint of surprise flashed through Fang Hai''s eyes.


    "Principal." Li Yuan showed a smile.


    Li Yuan didn''t attack again. With the last spear strike and splitting clones, he had completely revealed his strength.


    Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire


    And this was not a real battle practice. For a spar between experts, one or two moves were enough.


    "Haha, Fang Hai, you''ve lost face this time," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a laugh as he flew over: "You even invoked a hint of Origin Power, yet you still couldn''t bind Li Yuan, who is still only a Prime Warrior."


    "Li Yuan, well done," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan listened obediently.


    During the spar just now, Fang Hai had only revealed a very small part of his strength, which was already beyond Li Yuan''s reach.


    "Is this kid really still a Prime Warrior?"


    Fang Hai smiled helplessly: "Have you ever seen such an impressive Prime Warrior? Not to mention anything else, just his Spear Technique alone can rival a true Flying Heaven Peak Warrior."


    "If you count his Phantom Body and other methods... I''m afraid many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors might not be his match," Fang Hai said with admiration, his gaze resting upon Li Yuan: "Indeed impressive."


    "Truly on par with a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior?" Surprise flickered in Bai Shan Semi-Divine''s eyes.


    Although he could sense that Li Yuan''s last spear was extraordinary, he wasn''t quite sure about the extent.


    "Principal, I still have a long way to go. I''ve only just reached the baseline of the Flying Heaven Peak," Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    Li Yuan, having read through a lot of intelligence data and having discussed with Gu You, was very clear about the levels of the Flying Heaven rank, understanding that from Level 30 to 34, the evaluation of strength was relatively fixed.


    Only at the Flying Heaven Peak was there a vague concept.


    Normally, cultivating the body''s Origin Power to Level 35, reaching the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage in comprehension, possessing a Third Rank high-quality weapon, mastering two to three Fifth Layer Star Techniques... These were the baselines of a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior.


    But!!


    Some geniuses, with body''s Origin Power reaching Level 36 or even 37, whose technique comprehension was almost divine, and who cultivated Sixth Layer Star Techniques and even Seventh Layer Star Techniques... they also belonged to the Flying Heaven Peak level. Were they the same as the former?


    Among Flying Heaven Warriors, the truly terrifying ones, like Fang Hai, had strength close to divinity, able to annihilate many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors with a single move.


    The legendary strongest Flying Heaven could even slay a Semi-Divine...


    Once, Li Yuan believed that Flying Heaven Peak Warriors were only a step away from Semi-Divine... after all, at that time in his eyes, Flying Heaven Warriors were extremely powerful.


    But now, having truly stepped into this level, Li Yuan knew the differences of this level.


    Like Li Yuan, who now had his Life Level reach Level 30, relying on extremely strong Star Techniques, and armed with a spear technique close to divine level and a Semi-Divine weapon... he barely reached the baseline standard of Level 35.


    Compared with the very top warriors among the Flying Heaven, he still had a long way to go.


    "Li Yuan, don''t be too modest," Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn''t help but say: "If you keep being modest, where do we old fellows put our faces?"


    Li Yuan smiled and stopped replying.


    "Li Yuan, you can go to war," Fang Hai said slowly: "Remember, unless it''s absolutely necessary, don''t expose your strength... Being too dazzling isn''t always a good thing."


    "Understood," Li Yuan''s heart tightened.


    "Principal, senior, then I''ll be on my way." Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, taking on the identity of a Spirit Gun, he quickly flew into the War Fortress.


    In the void.


    Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at each other, their eyes conveying joy and a hint of shock.


    "Did you guess it?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    "The strongest Body Refining Star Technique!" Fang Hai said slowly: "Apart from this scenario, I can''t think of any other possibility... unless he''s stepped into the threshold of the Laws, but obviously not yet."


    "Hmm?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded.


    Both of their horizons were extremely broad and just through the brief exchange, they could swiftly deduce many details about Li Yuan.


    "Do you think, does Li Yuan have a chance? Can he make it through the Ninth Leaf World?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine suddenly asked.

 Chapter 309 Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_3

    "The Ninth Leaf World?" Fang Hai''s eyes flashed with a hint of light; he had only just passed through the Sixth Leaf World."Perhaps."


    "As a Flying Heaven Warrior, to slay a Demigod... that''s the legend of the favored son of heaven circulated by countless civilizations."


    ...


    Passing through the Star Realm gateway.


    Half a month later, Li Yuan returned to Bright Moon Base, half a month sooner than he had anticipated for his training.


    Above the base, high in the sky.


    Ten Fourth-order Battleships had been waiting for a long time.


    Inside one of the battleships, there were ten figures, either Flying Heaven Warriors or True Intent Prime Warriors, all waiting quietly.


    Besides them, there were nine light screens projecting in different parts of the conference room, revealing several figures.


    Whoosh!


    A figure shrouded in black Battle Garment entered.


    In an instant, over thirty figures in the conference room shifted their gaze simultaneously. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Spirit Gun."


    "Spirit Gun is here." Everyone''s eyes lit up; they had all received the orders and knew that Spirit Gun was coming back.


    Especially those who had seen Spirit Gun before, at this moment, they felt that he had undergone some mysterious changes.


    "Luo Chan, Tavares." Li Yuan looked toward the two.


    In this battle, Li Yuan was the main force.


    Luo Chan and Tavares were in charge of commanding the many warships.


    "Spirit Gun, ten battleships have already converged." Luo Chan said, "Besides, on the other nine battleships, each has two Flying Heaven-level combatants for support... On our main battle vessel, there are ten Flying Heaven combatants."


    "Of course, that doesn''t include you," Luo Chan added.


    "So that''s ten battleships, with twenty-eight Flying Heaven-level combatants?" Li Yuan said, "Is the base''s reserve force sufficient?"


    With so many forces moving out, the guard force at Bright Moon Base would be unprecedentedly weakened.


    "It''s enough," Tavares said. "If we leave too many behind, our attack force won''t be sufficient... We hope to strike at Ming Mountain and force the Mingxu Beast Clan to give up the passageway, otherwise there''s no hope."


    The other powerhouses all nodded, clearly sharing a similar sentiment.


    "No need," Li Yuan pondered, "leave two battleships behind, eight will be enough."


    "Eight?"


    "Is that too few?" The powerhouses were somewhat hesitant.


    Li Yuan didn''t explain further, according to Fang Hai''s orders, if he could avoid exposing his strength for the time being, he would.


    "Alright, as per the Demigod''s command, we''ll listen to you," Luo Chan agreed. "Then we''ll leave two battleships at the base."


    "Depart!"


    Soon, eight battleships tore through the Vast Sky, rapidly heading towards Ming Mountain.


    Not far from the Bright Moon Base, on the great land.


    Many hidden Second Rank Exotic Beasts were looking up at the eight battleships streaking across the void.


    ...


    "The Seven Star Civilization has made a move."


    "Eight battleships have already come killing this way, they''ll reach Ming Mountain in at most four hours." The high-ranking members of the Mingxu Beast Clan swiftly received the news from tens of thousands of miles away.


    The Mingxu Beast Clan was far inferior to the Seven Star Civilization and Tianliang Civilization in terms of technology.


    But the Exotic Beast Tribes that spread throughout the Star Realm were the best Inquiry means.


    They also had some special communication methods.

    ...


    "The Seven Star Civilization is moving."


    "The target isn''t us; it should be the Mingxu Beast Clan. They''ve delayed so many days; they''re finally acting."


    "Our top genius has already killed his way into the treasure land," the intelligence department of the Tianliang Civilization received the message an hour later.


    ...


    Inside the fast-moving battleship.


    "That is to say, the Mingxu Beast Clan has actually chosen to back down, wanting to cede tens of thousands of kilometers of territory to our two civilizations in exchange for peace?" Li Yuan listened with interest to Luo Chan''s story.


    "Yes."


    "From many signs, the Mingxu Beast Clan is actually very fearful of our two civilizations, and they don''t want to completely fall out with us," Luo Chan said. "It''s just that they have no way out, so once we touch their bottom line... they will act extremely crazily."


    "Ten days ago, the Tianliang Civilization''s assault on Ming Mountain gave them a huge shock."


    "According to intelligence reports," Luo Chan said, "it seems that the Flying Heaven Beast Kings under the command of the Three Great Beast Emperors have all converged near the lair of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If the roles were reversed, if he belonged to the Mingxu Beast Clan, he probably would also act this crazily.


    But Li Yuan had little pity in his heart; racial conflicts left no room to sympathize with others.


    "What was the outcome of that battle?" Li Yuan asked.


    "According to the information we''ve gathered from our Inquiry, they had a very fierce skirmish... Ultimately, the Tianliang Civilization withdrew from Ming Mountain," Tavares said. "However, it appears that the Three Great Beast Emperors did not take action."


    "We suspect that the Three Great Beast Emperors are not at Ming Mountain, but in what they call the Divine Land."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly,


    Having been attacked by the Tianliang Civilization right up to their lair on Ming Mountain, if the Three Great Beast Emperors were still there... the chances of them not engaging would be very slim.


    "There has been no news from Yu Jinghe; it''s very likely that he has broken into the Divine Land," Tavares said. "The so-called ''Divine Land'' of the Mingxu Beast Clan is probably where the treasure on Ming Mountain is located."


    Li Yuan listened as Tavares explained the latest situation.


    Yu Jinghe? No news for a month. If not for the Seven Star Civilization having a special way to confirm life and death... they probably would have declared him dead long ago.


    The Mingxu Star Realm is only so big, no news from Yu Jinghe means he most likely fell into some mysterious place.


    "Spirit Gun," Luo Chan spoke softly, "shall we first go to Zone 67 on the periphery of Ming Mountain, or...?"


    "No!"


    "Directly strike at Ming Mountain," Li Yuan said quietly. "Let''s take the opportunity while the Three Great Beast Emperors are away, to seize all intelligence from the Mingxu Beast Clan."


    If the Three Great Beast Emperors were at Ming Mountain, then Li Yuan would change his plan.


    Since it''s highly likely they''re not there, naturally, he wouldn''t be courteous.


    "Although the Three Great Beast Emperors are not there, there''s still a large group of remaining Flying Heaven Beast Kings. There are dozens in the mid-stage of Flying Heaven," Tavares couldn''t help saying.

 Chapter 309 Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_4

    ```"I''ll hold them off," said Li Yuan with a faint smile.


    This confidence startled the surrounding powerhouses.


    They only knew that the Spirit Gun had been in retreat for cultivation, but how strong was it, exactly?


    It was a mystery.


    "Moreover," Li Yuan paused, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes, "it''s time to avenge Manong."


    Tavares''s eyes burst forth with a ray of light.


    ...


    Over three hours later, the eight swiftly advancing warships were gradually closing in on Ming Mountain.


    From tens of thousands of miles away, Ming Mountain didn''t seem too massive.


    But now, it looked like a mountain that could hold up the sky, blocking out the sun, its countless green-covered mountains and rivers resembling another strange world.

    Suddenly.


    "Not good."


    Luo Chan''s face changed abruptly. "The warship has detected an extremely powerful life force approaching... It''s the Flying Heaven Beast Kings! Many Flying Heaven Beast Kings are converging."


    Boom, boom, boom~


    The eight warships simultaneously halted in the high sky, followed by the appearance of a huge projection screen. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was a scene from hundreds of miles away.


    As Fourth-order Battleships, sensing within several hundred miles was effortless.


    The projection showed a dense mass of enormous figures.


    All were Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    "60... 80... 150... 300... Preliminary inquiry by the warship has detected 326 figures," Luo Chan said, staring intently, her voice changing slightly, "All are Flying Heaven Beast Kings."


    "Chi Yen Beast King."


    "Hei Guang Beast King."


    "Southern Bear Beast King."


    "Tian He Beast King."


    "According to the information we have, there are eight top-tier Beast Kings, suspected to be of the 34th level! All have come!" Luo Chan almost cried out.


    Inside the conference room, there was utter silence, and everyone felt a wave of chills down their spine.


    There were too many!


    Even with eight Fourth-order Battleships gathered, they did not feel safe.


    The number was astonishing.


    According to the intelligence they had, when the Tianliang Civilization''s army had previously attacked Ming Mountain, they had not encountered such a terrifying array.


    "It seems that the Mingxu Beast Clan has suffered from dispersing their strength against the Tianliang Civilization," Li Yuan said, smiling, "That''s why they''ve deliberately focused their aerial combat forces."


    Everyone couldn''t help but look at Li Yuan.


    At a time like this, could the Spirit Gun still manage to smile?


    "It''s better that they''ve concentrated," said Li Yuan with a smile, "It saves us the trouble of having to go find them."


    Luo Chan, Tavares, Jiang Zai, and the others were increasingly astonished.


    To the Spirit Gun, the approach of a few hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings was a good thing?


    "Exit the warships," Li Yuan said, "Right here... with the green hills and clear waters, it''s a feng shui treasure spot to bury them."


    Boom~ The hatch opened.


    Li Yuan flew out first, the other powerhouses exchanged glances. Despite a touch of fear in their hearts, they all followed suit and flew out.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The eight Fourth-order Battleships formed a defensive system in the void of space, and twenty-five figures stood in the void, quietly waiting for the army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings to arrive.


    Li Yuan stood at the forefront of the entire army.


    With their vision, a hundred miles was completely clear to see.


    ...


    "Human warships."


    "Spirit Gun!"


    "They''re not retreating?" Chi Yen Beast King, Tian He Beast King, and the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings had also long seen the scene within nearly a hundred miles... The eight Fourth-order Battleships were quite conspicuous.


    Only tens of seconds later.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The mighty army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings had spread out, stopping about ten kilometers away from the warships in the void.


    ```


    They spaced themselves far apart, ensuring that the main cannon of the warship wouldn''t hit two of them.


    The main cannon of a Fourth-order Battleship was extremely powerful, and a direct hit would mean certain death for any Beast King, though the cannon took a very long time to charge.


    Facing such a large army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most human Martial Artists felt the pressure.


    "Seven Stars humans."


    "Spirit Gun, do you really want to start a war?" a robust voice echoed through the Vast Sky.


    A massive black Flying Serpent emerged from the beast horde, its narrow and cold eyes fixed on Li Yuan.


    For a moment, both the hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings and the numerous human Martial Artists turned their attention to Li Yuan.


    "Hei Guang Beast King."


    Li Yuan spoke with an indifferent voice, "If you do not wish to start a war, that is also fine."


    "Then, hand over all the information about Divine Land and clear the entrance, allowing us free access in and out," Li Yuan spoke slowly.


    "Impossible!"


    "Greedy humans."


    "They deserve to die." The Chi Yen Beast King, the Southern Bear Beast King, the Tian He Beast King, and other top Beast Kings all roared angrily.


    They were both shocked that the secrets of the ''Divine Land'' had been completely revealed, and filled with anger and a trace of fear.


    "Spirit Gun, if you retreat now..." Hei Guang Beast King said somberly, making one last effort.


    He did not want to start a war.


    "You do not agree?" Li Yuan looked down and shook his head, then suddenly raised it again, his eyes bursting with a cold murderous intent, "Then go to hell!"


    "Kill!"


    Boom! In an instant, Li Yuan transformed into a terrifying streak of light and lunged directly at Hei Guang Beast King.


    Almost at the same time, a cold voice resounded in the minds of all human Martial Artists: "Stay in place, protect the Warship."


    "Whir!"


    "Whir!"


    "Whir!" Accompanying Li Yuan''s command, the eight warships'' main cannons that had been ready to fire, unleashed their power simultaneously.


    Eight dazzling beams of light instantly streaked across the sky, each targeting a different Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Too fast!


    Silent and sudden.


    Even though the Flying Heaven Beast Kings had been on alert and continuously moving, three of them weren''t quick enough to dodge and got their heads pierced, dead!


    The void fell silent for an instant.


    The next second.


    "Kill!"


    "Annihilate these humans."


    "Kill!" Watching this scene unfold, the remaining hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings first froze, then a surge of uncontrollable anger and killing intent welled up inside them.


    Booming noises echoed as nearly all of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings instantly transformed into dazzling streaks of light, some howling as they charged toward the human Warships, others frantically attacking Li Yuan.


    Their hearts were filled with endless fury.


    "It''s you who''s seeking death."


    Hei Guang Beast King led the charge at the forefront, his heart also full of killing intent, lunging directly towards Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King followed closely behind, his body ablaze with flames, like a War God incarnate.


    "Hei Guang Beast King?"


    Li Yuan was the fastest, bursting forth in an instant, utilizing the All Things Divine Body to transform into a five-meter-tall figure holding a Long Spear, approaching Hei Guang Beast King like a bolt of lightning.


    Ten kilometers?


    They drew close within seconds.


    "Roar~" The Hei Guang Beast King roared, huge wings obscuring the sunlight, opened its gaping maw, and viciously lunged.


    Whiz!


    In the brief moment of near contact, Li Yuan used "Wind Feather", his speed skyrocketing once again, becoming a streak of yellow light charging toward the gaping maw; immediately afterward, he swung the Long Spear... A dazzling thread emerged between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.


    The Spear Light soared across a kilometer of the Vast Sky, seemingly slicing through heaven and earth.


    "Boom~"


    The Hei Guang Beast King''s head exploded in an instant, blood raining down from the sky, as Li Yuan''s spear had pierced straight through its head.


    Hei Guang Beast King, Level 34! Dead!!

 Chapter 310 Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!

    A spear thrust, the top Beast King of the Mingxu Beast Clan renowned for over a hundred years, Hei Guang, fell!!"What!!"


    "Am I seeing things?"


    "Is that Hei Guang Beast King, killed in an instant?"


    "Even if the Three Great Beast Emperors came, they might not be able to do that." The several hundred Beast Kings who hadn''t yet joined the attack were completely stunned at this sight.


    You should know, after fermenting for half a month, the name of the Spirit Gun had already spread throughout the high levels of the Mingxu Beast Clan, and nearly all Flying Heaven Beast Kings knew that within the Seven Star Human Civilization, there was an extremely terrifying Second Rank Life ''Spirit Gun'' who could contend with the Chi Yen Beast King.


    The Chi Yen Beast King was the unanimously recognized strongest below the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    But!!


    The several hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings never imagined that even though they had highly estimated ''Spirit Gun,'' they still underestimated him, a spear thrust, and the ''Hei Guang Beast King,'' on par with the Chi Yen Beast King, was dead.


    "Hei Guang!!" The Chi Yen Beast King was also somewhat dumbfounded, "It''s only been a little over a month, how could his strength have surged so much? In my perception, he was clearly a Second Rank Life."


    "Was he toying with me on purpose last time?"


    "Or has he broken through to Flying Heaven?" The Chi Yen Beast King''s mind raced with numerous thoughts, but more than that, there was a tinge of fear.


    Because, other Flying Heaven Beast Kings might think ''Spirit Gun has reached the level of Beast Emperor,'' but only a top-tier Beast King like Chi Yen understood.


    Beast Emperor?


    A Beast Emperor couldn''t kill Hei Guang Beast King with one move! Spirit Gun, this is an existence that transcends Beast Emperors.


    ... "This?"


    "Spirit Gun?"


    "My heavens!!" Luo Chan, Tavares, Jiang Zai, and other human Martial Artists on the eight distant Battleships, standing by in strict formation, already prepared for a desperate fight, were also somewhat dumbfounded.


    Almost in an instant.


    They all remembered the casual voice of Spirit Gun just now on the Battleship, "Here with the green mountains and clear waters, it is a feng shui treasure land to bury them in."


    At the time, none of them believed Spirit Gun, after all, no matter how amazing Spirit Gun''s performance had been before, he was always just a Prime Warrior.


    When Li Yuan told them ''stay in place to protect the Battleship,'' many even felt that Spirit Gun was being too arrogant and conceited, although they didn''t dare to say it out loud.


    But now?


    "Is he really a Prime Warrior?" Li Yang was inwardly shocked, "Can a Prime Warrior be this strong? Even if it''s Li Yuan, after ten more years of training, he probably won''t catch up to Spirit Gun."


    Li Yang had always thought that Li Yuan would surpass Spirit Gun in achievements, but now he was no longer sure.


    "This Spirit Gun is really Li Yuan?" The only one who knew the truth, Luo Chan, was the most shocked, "He''s only 20 years old!"


    Luo Chan knew that after today''s battle, the name, Spirit Gun, would likely be known to many Foreign Civilizations.


    But if the news that ''Spirit Gun is only 20 years old'' gets out, that would truly be earth-shattering.


    ...


    This spear thrust had baffled all the powerful individuals in both camps, with only Li Yuan the calmest.


    "A contender with only a third-grade inferior Battle Garment, who hasn''t cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique, a level 34 powerhouse, dares to open its huge mouth to bite me?" Li Yuan''s speed did not slow down at all as he pounced towards another Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Hei Guang Beast King had a great reputation, but as a kinsman of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, he was known for his speed among the various factions of the Mingxu Beast Clan... When it came to frontal fighting, he was weaker among the eight top-tier Beast Kings.


    In Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Hei Guang Beast King was about equivalent to a typical level 33 human Martial Artist.


    If Hei Guang Beast King had focused on entangling combat and guarding his vital points, Li Yuan would''ve probably needed a few more moves to take him down, but he delivered his head right to the Black Chen Spear... one should know, Li Yuan considered himself to have reached the baseline of the Flying Heaven Peak, on par with level 35 Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    "Several hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings?"


    "Most of them are just at level 30, level 31." Li Yuan had Divine Palace Inquiry, with one glance he knew whether these Flying Heaven Beast Kings were a threat to him or not.


    "Whoosh!"


    Before the Long Spear arrived, a dazzling Spear Light spanned a hundred meters of the Vast Sky, piercing through the head of another Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Fallen!


    "Without mastery of True Intent, at Flying Heaven Level, killing is too easy. Origin Power at Flying Heaven Level draws upon the power of Heaven and Earth, it simply cannot block my Long Spear..." Li Yuan thought to himself, "No wonder, back then the principal from a kilometer away, invoked the Law with a single thought, killing that Flying Heaven Level Alien Race assassin."


    To kill Hei Guang Beast King, he still had to get close.


    But to kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Beast King... whether you concentrate True Intent or not, the strength will have an earth-shattering change.


    The ordinary Flying Heaven Beast Kings, let alone withstand the Black Chen Spear, couldn''t even block a single Spear Light from Li Yuan.


    "Annihilate!" sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan swept with another spear, a terrifying Spear Light slashed across the Vast Sky, first piercing through the head of a Flying Heaven Beast King and immediately striking another Flying Heaven Beast King''s body, critically injuring it.


    With one spear, one died and another was injured.


    "For killing a Flying Heaven Level powerhouse, Spiritual Awakening Level goes up by only 0.1%, truly tough." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    During his previous clash with the Chi Yen Beast King, he noticed the two changes after the Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%... First, killing First Rank and Second Rank Alien Races no longer provided Spiritual Nourishment.


    Second, it seemed that killing a Flying Heaven Level being only increased by 0.1%."


    "At this rate, I need to kill at least a hundred of them to advance to 60%." Li Yuan thought to himself, "What about in the future, when the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening breaks through 75%? This is forcing me to kill Demigods in the future."


    Slaughter!


    "Continue." Li Yuan''s speed was astonishing as he went on a rampage against these Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    ...


    The great battle continued.


    Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire


    The eight Fourth-order Battleships, after charging their main cannons, were also continuously firing, killing Flying Heaven Beast Kings one after another.


    At the same time, many Flying Heaven Beast Kings also attacked the Battleships, immediately engaging in combat with Tavares, Luo Chan, and others.


    However.


    The brightest and most ferocious battle on the entire battlefield was still in the region where Li Yuan was.


    After the Hei Guang Beast King and several other Beast Kings fell in succession.

 Chapter 310 Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_2

    Other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, though shaken with fury and horror, immediately fell into despair...they all knew, there was no way out.If they retreated today, then the Mingxu Beast Clan would never recover, their only path lay in one word¡ªKill!


    Kill their way out! For their clan, for freedom, they strove to carve a path to survival.


    "Kill!"


    "We must kill Spirit Gun."


    "If we don''t kill him, our Mingxu Beast Clan will surely perish."


    "Perhaps he has used some secret treasure, which is why his strength is so formidable. He''s only a Second Rank Life, no matter how strong his attack, his bodily defense must definitely be weak. As long as we can hit him... he will certainly get injured, even to the point of death."


    "Let''s go for it! Fight with all we''ve got!! Kill!" Hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, like moths to a flame, furiously launched their most frenzied attack on Li Yuan in the void.


    This was, undoubtedly, the most tragic scene in the thousands of years of the Mingxu Beast Clan!!


    And Li Yuan, too, erupted completely!


    Boom, boom, boom~ Whether it was the howling cold ice, the overwhelming flames, the gigantic wings whistling, or the claws striking violently.


    Or the collaboration of several Flying Heaven Beast Kings trying to block all space and completely trap Li Yuan at the center.


    For the fate of their clan, these Flying Heaven Beast Kings gambled with their own lives.


    But reality told these Flying Heaven Beast Kings, it was all in vain.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s domain exploded first. Having trained in the "All Things Divine Body," his Origin Power also underwent a transformation. Even without practicing Domain Star Techniques, by invoking the mysteries of the Wind and Earth True Intent, the domain he formed was terrifying in its might.


    "Boom, boom, boom~" Li Yuan''s domain, bearing countless attacks, contended with the Flame Domain of the Chi Yen Beast King, without falling behind in the slightest.


    The enormous scope of the domain limited the attacks from other Flying Heaven Beast Kings on Li Yuan.


    "Swoosh!""Swoosh!""Swoosh!" Li Yuan didn''t use Phantom Body, but relying on ''Wind Feather,'' he could burst forth with a speed nearly eight times the speed of sound, surpassing any Flying Heaven Beast King. His figure was like a ghost, dodging the continuous combined attacks from a large number of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    No Flying Heaven Beast King could keep up with his flight trajectory; all attempts to surround him seemed futile.


    Then, it was a slaughter!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Spear Light after Spear Light streaked across the Vast Sky, breathtakingly beautiful. Every flash of Spear Light meant the fall of a Flying Heaven Beast King.


    "Boom, boom, boom~" The massive bodies of Flying Heaven Beast Kings fell, shaking the earth, collapsing mountains and rivers.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most of whom were leaders of their respective clans, were no more than fodder before Li Yuan, merely one more spear thrust, or one less.


    "The Southern Bear Beast King is dead!!"


    "Tian He Beast King is dead!"


    "Shadowless Beast King is dead." One by one, the well-known top Beast Kings of the Mingxu world fell. These powerful Beast Kings'' frenzied attacks did indeed pose a minor threat to Li Yuan.


    But it was just a minor threat and simply caused Li Yuan to thrust a few more times with his spear.


    Suddenly.


    "Die!" A roar thundered across heaven and earth.


    "Boom!" A terrifying fiery giant palm, filled with endless rage, fiercely struck Li Yuan.


    It was the Chi Yen Beast King!!


    This Beast King, acknowledged as the most powerful beneath the Beast Emperors, in desperation and on the verge of death against Li Yuan''s pressure, actually took that critical step¡ªreaching the Intermediate Rank of True Intent.


    The Chi Yen Beast King broke through.


    The breakthrough in technique instantly boosted the power of his attack, especially the speed, catching the previously at-ease Li Yuan off-guard and landing him a slap.


    "Peng~"


    Li Yuan was sent flying backward, the force behind that slap was incredibly terrifying.


    "Hahaha! Impressive!" Li Yuan flew backward for over a hundred meters, his laughter echoing through the heavens and the earth: "Chi Yen, you actually managed to injure me, impressive."


    Despair!


    Not just the Chi Yen Beast King, but also the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings who witnessed this scene completely despaired.


    Struck by the Chi Yen Beast King post-breakthrough, Spirit Gun was only injured? And looking at Spirit Gun''s condition, where did he seem wounded?


    They didn''t know that after Li Yuan activated the ''Starry Coat'' with Flying Heaven Level Origin Power, his defense was so strong that even standing still and taking a direct hit from a Fourth-Order Battleship''s main cannon might not bring him down... Just considering the ability to survive, Li Yuan was quite formidable even among the Flying Heaven Peak.


    "Chi Yen."


    "It''s my turn." Li Yuan streaked across as a beam of light, howling towards the Chi Yen Beast King.


    To Li Yuan''s eyes, none of the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings posed as great a threat as the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Given the Chi Yen Beast King''s talent, once he lets his Origin Power break through to level 35, he might surpass even the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    "Kill!" The Chi Yen Beast King also roared, his body rapidly shrinking to only ten meters tall, his Flame Domain quickly diminishing as well.


    Boom, boom, boom~


    Domains collided, and this time Li Yuan''s domain was at an absolute disadvantage, constantly being pressured and dispersed.


    "Not having practiced Domain Star Techniques, the gap in skills has not narrowed, there''s also a gap in Origin Power." It came as no surprise to Li Yuan that his domain fell to the disadvantage.


    Actually, when selecting the fourth Star Technique, Li Yuan hesitated.


    If he chose a Domain Star Technique, it would be more beneficial for straightforward battles, and also for binding enemies in group fights.


    But the Escaping Method Star Technique was more beneficial for survival.


    In the end, Li Yuan chose the latter.

    "Shick!"


    The Black Chen Spear struck, effortlessly piercing through the Flame Domain, its power formidable. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Die!" The downsized Chi Yen Beast King roared, making a fist with five fingers, invoking the Fire True Intent to cover his fist, and striking head-on at the fearsome spear thrust.


    The two terrifying forces collided.


    "Peng!"


    The collision of the True Intent Origin Power was so extreme that the air seemed to be rapidly compressed, like a nuclear explosion, as the horrible shockwave surged in all directions. The mountains and rivers below for kilometers around collapsed, nearly turning into a flat wasteland of ruins.

 Chapter 310 Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_3

    ```"Chi~" The Black Chen Spear had viciously stabbed into that hard fist, piercing through the surface of the battle garment and entering the stony bone fingers.


    "So hard!" Li Yuan frowned as he executed his second spear thrust.


    "I''ve shrunk my body and have a battle garment protecting me, yet even my strongest fist can barely withstand it?" The Chi Yen Beast King felt a chill in his heart, truly sensing the sharpness of the seemingly unimpressive black long spear.


    Its penetrative power was too terrifying.


    "Peng~ Peng! Peng!" In a series of terrifying clashes, Li Yuan''s Spear Technique was all blocked by the Chi Yen Beast King.


    This battle was like a replica of their last one.


    Just as the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings thought they saw hope,


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan moved and instantly revealed six phantom bodies within the layered domains.


    Shadow Domain!


    Li Yuan finally executed this ultimate move, but he still didn''t use the "Six Paths Illusionary Body" from the Seventh Layer Star Technique, which was his last trump card. It was not necessary to expose it against a single Chi Yen Beast King.


    "Hu! Hu!" Six Li Yuans erupted simultaneously, stunning the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings who couldn''t distinguish which was the real one, and at the same time, Li Yuan cornered the Chi Yen Beast King into a desperate situation.


    Divine Fist unleashed! Shaking the heavens!


    The Chi Yen Beast King could block one attack from Li Yuan''s phantom, but couldn''t keep it up forever¡­ Pu! The Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust straight, piercing the Chi Yen Beast King''s chest.


    "Puchi~" The battle garment was penetrated.


    "Boom~"


    The terrifying might contained within the long spear erupted, instantly causing the layers of rock to burst open.


    One spear thrust had seriously injured the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Hu!

    With a mix of shock and rage, the Chi Yen Beast King finally retreated, trying to escape. But in front of Li Yuan, who had executed the Shadow Domain and the Star Technique "Wind Feather," where could he flee? He was injured time and again by the Black Chen Spear.


    The Chi Yen Beast King felt death drawing near. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Escape!"


    "Escape now!! Until the Spirit Gun leaves the Mingxu world, don''t you dare show yourselves. Get as far away as possible." The voice of the Chi Yen Beast King echoed in the minds of the more than two hundred surviving Beast Kings, the voice filled with despair and rage: "As long as we live, there''s hope for our Mingxu Beast Clan."


    "There''s hope!"


    Slit~


    Again, six long spears struck, and the one true Black Chen Spear avoided the Divine Fist, piercing the back of the Chi Yen Beast King, causing his injuries to worsen.


    "Kill!"


    "Spirit Gun, come fight!" the Chi Yen Beast King roared out, void of despair in his eyes, now filled with a madness that accepted death.


    He understood he couldn''t escape; the Spirit Gun would never let him, this great threat, go. But he would use his life to buy time for the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, to gain a chance at survival.


    To strive for some hope for the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    "Escape!"


    "Go!"


    "Ahh~~" Many of the surviving Flying Heaven Beast Kings gave out grief-stricken roars, unable to bear witnessing the Chi Yen Beast King''s fall, but they also understood that continuing to fight was pointless, and they began to flee in all directions.


    "Hu!" Li Yuan''s eyes were cold, disregarding the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings and focusing solely on attacking the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ```


    In Li Yuan''s eyes,


    the threat posed by all the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings combined did not match that of the Chi Yen Beast King alone.


    Once the Chi Yen Beast King had time to practice the Body Refining Star Technique and accumulate power for a period¡­ Li Yuan admitted to himself that he would probably have to flee in panic.


    Whoosh!


    With the thirty-sixth strike of his spear, the body of the Chi Yen Beast King finally couldn''t withstand the continuous assault and exploded with a bang, its Origin Pill shattered, leaving him powerless to fight again.


    But his head was still intact.


    "Suppress!" With a command of his Domain, Li Yuan thrust his spear into the head of the Chi Yen Beast King following the wound.


    Splurch!


    The Chi Yen Beast King''s head completely disintegrated from the inside and died!!


    "Chi Yen is dead!"


    "Escape."


    "As long as we survive, as long as we''re alive!!"


    "That Spirit Gun will sooner or later leave our world, and as long as we live, we can take revenge on the Seven Stars human civilization," the Flying Heaven Beast Kings fleeing dozens of kilometers away thought, filled with grief and anger.


    They could only watch helplessly as the newly-advanced Chi Yen Beast King died.


    "They''re all fleeing?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept through the void, all the Flying Heaven Beast Kings were frantically escaping, and not a single Beast King dared to stay and attack the warship anymore.


    Everyone began to retreat.


    For a moment, the entire void seemed to quiet down, and Tavares, Luo Chan, and others who had just finished their battles in the distant cosmos held their breath as they watched this scene.


    In the void, stood the figure in black, holding a long spear like a War God.


    The ground had turned into a wasteland from the successive clashes, with only the carcasses of numerous Flying Heaven Beast Kings left behind.


    The shock in the hearts of these human Martial Artists was beyond words.


    Nearly three hundred Flying Heaven powerhouses besieged one Prime Warrior, and in the end, over a hundred Flying Heaven powerhouses perished.


    Over a hundred!!


    Though these Flying Heaven Beast Kings may be weak and possess neither good weapons nor Star Techniques, they were still genuine Sky-Flying Level lives, and some were as powerful as the ''Chi Yen Beast King''.


    And even though the Spirit Gun was extremely powerful, it was, after all, only a Prime Warrior!


    This battle was definitely a miracle.


    Not just a miracle of the Seven Star Civilization, but even if placed amongst the many Foreign Civilizations, Tavares and Li Yang believed it would surely be considered a ''legendary feat.''


    Worthy of being passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!


    ..."Escape?"


    "Pursue them!" Li Yuan did not immerse himself in the joy of victory; after assessing the situation on the battlefield, he gave orders to Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others.


    Although in the fierce battle just now, Li Yuan had killed six of the top eight Beast Kings and slaughtered more than a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    But there were more who had fled.


    Li Yuan was clear that, after this battle, these Flying Heaven Beast Kings would definitely not dare to gather again, but they would probably continue to hide, and their hatred for the Seven Star Civilization was profound.

 Chapter 310 Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_4

    Every day I stay in the Mingxu Star Realm, these Beast Kings will hide away, not daring to show themselves.But how long can I remain in the Mingxu Star Realm? Three years? Ten years? Sooner or later, I will have to leave.


    Therefore,


    killing one more now will reduce the future threat to the Seven Star Civilization!


    Exterminating them all is the correct approach.


    "Kill!"


    "Four warships form a group; ensure your own safety and strive to pursue and annihilate the enemy." Tavares and Luo Chan immediately followed Li Yuan''s orders and split off with the warships to hunt down their prey.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan was the fastest, directly charging towards the large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings fleeing towards Ming Mountain.


    In just tens of seconds, he caught up with them.


    "Whoosh!""Whoosh!" Spear Light slashed in all directions, and one after another, the Flying Heaven Beast Kings fell.


    Seeing this, the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings fled even more frantically, with many diving into lakes and burrowing into the earth, trying to throw off Li Yuan and the other human Martial Artists completely.


    ...A quarter of an hour later.


    After a mad pursuit and slaughter of over fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings, Li Yuan completely lost track of the others.


    On the vast land, scenes of the aftermath of the great battle were everywhere.


    "Let''s go!"


    Li Yuan stepped on the head of a giant four-hoofed Exotic Beast covered in purple scales and flew back to where the battle had initially erupted.


    In the void.


    "Rumble~" Eight fourth-order warships reconvened, Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others, having chased their targets to no avail, returned one by one.


    "Spirit Gun!"


    "Spirit Gun." Respect filled the eyes of Tavares, Luo Chan, and Li Yang as they looked on.


    They too saw the massive four-hoofed Exotic Beast beneath Li Yuan''s feet, its limbs severed and half of its head sliced off.


    "Thunder Ray Beast King?"


    "One of the top three Beast Kings under the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Thunder Ray Beast King?" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Is this... a surrender?" Li Yang, An Yongya, and the others showed shock in their eyes.


    Only Luo Chan and Tavares were somewhat calmer, as if they had anticipated this scene.


    "Spirit Gun, esteemed human sirs." The heavily injured Thunder Ray Beast King spoke with a hint of terror: "I have always been providing you with information; I truly wish to cooperate with the great Seven Star Civilization and would willingly serve it forever."


    "Thunder Ray!"


    "Stop your pretense." Tavares sneered: "You traded with us in secret simply to gain some cultivation resources, and we haven''t given you few."


    "If you truly wished to submit, why didn''t you surrender just now? During the battle, you didn''t hold back at all." Luo Chan said with a cold laugh.


    The other human Martial Artists suddenly understood.


    The Thunder Ray Beast King, it seems, was one of the Seven Star Civilization''s sources of intelligence from the ''Mingxu Beast Clan.''


    In a sense, the Thunder Ray Beast King was a ''beast traitor.''


    However, it survived to the end, while the other top Beast Kings all perished in battle.


    "Thunder Ray."


    "I know you wish to cooperate with us." Li Yuan said coldly: "As long as you tell me everything you know, I will not kill you... Otherwise, you should understand, I could have killed you just now."

    Out of the eight top Beast Kings, only the Thunder Ray Beast King was spared by Li Yuan.


    "The beast understands, understands." The Thunder Ray Beast King nodded continuously.


    Having chosen to submit in order to stay alive, it naturally had no more bottom lines.


    "I ask you."


    "Where are the Three Great Beast Emperors now? Where is the entrance to your Divine Land?" Li Yuan asked directly: "Also, a human Martial Artist from my Seven Star Civilization went missing in Ming Mountain; do you know where?"


    "Furthermore."


    "The last time the Tianliang Civilization invaded Ming Mountain, what agreement did you reach with them?" Li Yuan asked all in one breath.

 Chapter 311 Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain

    "The Three Great Beast Emperors should all be in the Divine Land," the Thunder Luminance Beast King quickly said, sensing the killing intent from Li Yuan.Now that he had been seriously injured, he had no bargaining chips.


    "Should?" Li Yuan frowned.


    "The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor will not inform me of his whereabouts," the Thunder Luminance Beast King continued to explain, "Under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I am far less trusted than Chi Yen and Hei Guang. Many secrets of the Divine Land are known to them, but the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor does not tell me anything."


    "As for the other two Beast Emperors... I know even less."


    Luo Chan and Tavares both nodded at Li Yuan.


    Gesturing that what the Thunder Luminance Beast King said was true.


    If he were trusted, the Thunder Luminance Beast King wouldn''t have allied with the Seven Star Civilization so quickly.


    "As for the entrance to the Divine Land."


    "I only know of one place, which is what you call ''the 67th area on the outskirts of Ming Mountain''."


    "There are always a large number of Flying Heaven Beast Kings guarding there," the Thunder Luminance Beast King said somberly, "Our Mingxu Beast Clan''s Flying Heaven Beast Kings... once they reach the Flying Heaven Level, they can enter through that entrance, pass certain rank assessments, and after completing the contract ceremony to become so-called ''ordinary soldiers,'' they can obtain a Star Technique and one to two Third Order weapons."


    "If they can become higher-ranked soldiers, it seems there are many special weapons and treasures... but most Beast Kings can''t achieve this."


    "Star Technique? Weapons?" Luo Chan and Tavares flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes.


    Only Li Yuan remained calm, for he had received many pieces of information successively gifted by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.


    In terms of understanding Ming Mountain, no human Martial Artist present could surpass him.


    Ming Mountain was most likely a fallen ''Divine Class Mothership''.


    "You should be able to see that most of our Flying Heaven Beast Kings have cultivated a Star Technique," the Thunder Luminance Beast King said with a wry smile, "We can''t create Star Techniques... we obtain them from the Divine Land, and the same goes for the weapons."


    "Our Mingxu Beast Clan''s knowledge of cultivation is all derived from the Divine Land," the Thunder Luminance Beast King spoke freely, no longer keeping anything back.


    He was well aware that even if he remained silent, it wouldn''t take long for the Seven Star Civilization to figure everything out.


    "That human Martial Artist you''re referring to is the one who passed the assessments along that entrance and truly entered the Divine Land," the Thunder Luminance Beast King said.


    "What assessment?" Li Yuan asked.


    "The military rank assessment," the Thunder Luminance Beast King answered, "Most of us Flying Heaven Beast Kings can only become the so-called ''ordinary soldiers''... According to the Beast King, if one has sufficient strength and potential, there is hope of becoming an elite soldier and entering the Divine Land... but the Chi Yen Beast King has always failed to do so."


    "Not to mention the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings."


    "However, that human Martial Artist managed it, and it is said he broke into the Divine Land," the Thunder Luminance Beast King shook his head, "His strength is probably not even a match for mine; I really don''t know why."


    Li Yuan understood in his heart; indeed!


    Integrating the information about the Mothership provided by the Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Ji.


    The channel the Thunder Luminance Beast King mentioned was likely a trial area of the ''Mothership''. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The trials for Second and Third Order Lives are different; these Flying Heaven Beast Kings are among the weaker at the Flying Heaven Level and cannot pass the trials... but Yu Jinghe was among the most powerful in the Second Rank Life.


    The potential is starkly different!


    "It''s not just that human Martial Artist."


    "Not long ago, Tianliang Civilization made a surprise attack, reaching the outskirts of the Heavenly Serpent Lake," said the Thunder Luminance Beast King solemnly, "Because it was a surprise attack, we didn''t manage to gather so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings... there were only thirty to forty at that time."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; this gathering of the Mingxu Beast Clan was likely due to the setback with Tianliang Civilization.


    "Continue," Li Yuan said.


    "Within Tianliang Civilization, there is also a very fearsome Second Rank Life," the Thunder Luminance Beast King recalled, then added, "Of course, that person''s strength is far from matching Lord Spirit Gun."


    "Cut the nonsense," Li Yuan frowned.


    "Yes," the Thunder Luminance Beast King nodded rapidly, "He, too, was in black and his weapon was a blade. He seems to have comprehended the True Meaning of Fire... In a fight with the Chi Yen Beast King, he held his ground, preventing the Chi Yen Beast King from getting the better of him."


    "The Chi Yen Beast King couldn''t win?" A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan''s eyes.


    So powerful?


    You should know, by Li Yuan''s estimates, even if Yu Jinghe before his breakthrough, or Lude Nef had fought the Chi Yen Beast King, there was absolutely no chance of winning... The mysterious powerful individual the Thunder Luminance Beast King mentioned must be the super-talented individual from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    "Originally, if we were to fight to the death, Tianliang Civilization might not have beaten us," the Thunder Luminance Beast King said gravely, "but somehow... the Hei Guang Beast King suddenly revealed the location of the entrance to them."


    "I suspect that the Hei Guang Beast King acted upon the Beast Emperor''s command," the Thunder Luminance Beast King said, "For letting them in." Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    "How could the Beast Emperor issue commands after entering the Divine Land?" Luo Chan snapped, "Don''t lie to us."


    "It''s the Spirit Orb!!"


    "Each of the Three Great Beast Emperors controls a Spirit Orb, and all of us Flying Heaven Beast Kings have left a trace of a mark within the orbs... with the Spirit Orbs, even if the Beast Emperors are in the Divine Land, as long as we Flying Heaven Beast Kings are near the orbs, we can still communicate with the Beast Kings," the Thunder Luminance Beast King hurriedly explained, "Likewise, if we die in battle... the images from just before our deaths can seemingly be transmitted back to the Spirit Orb."


    This statement changed the expressions of the group of human Martial Artists present.


    Such a strange treasure?


    If that''s the case, then the Three Great Beast Emperors must already know of Spirit Gun''s strength.


    However, Li Yuan was quite calm; in the vast universe and the extensive river of dimensions, there are many bizarre treasures.


    Like the ''Spiritual Lamp'' that Gu You let him Refine, which is even more magical, able to confirm his life or death even across many planes.

 Chapter 311 Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_2

    If Ming Mountain truly was a fallen Divine Class Mothership with similar treasures, it wouldn''t be strange."Therefore, in the end, the Tianliang Civilization retreated."


    "According to the Flying Heaven Beast King guarding the entrance to the Divine Land, those top powerhouses of the Tianliang Civilization should have also entered the Divine Land through that entrance," the Raylight Beast King continued, "Afterward, to avoid being defeated one by one, hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings under the command of the Three Great Beast Emperors gathered in one place."


    "Until you all arrived."


    Time passed.


    Through the account of the Raylight Beast King, Li Yuan and the human martial artists present gained a deeper understanding of the Mingxu Star Realm and the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    "Spirit Gun Sir."


    "Honorable Sirs, I have said all I needed to say," the Raylight Beast King said with trepidation, in a low and humble voice, "I hope to be spared my life."


    Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others all looked to Li Yuan.


    Whether to spare the Raylight Beast King''s life was up to Li Yuan''s attitude.


    "Raylight."


    "If I hadn''t been aware of many details beforehand, I might have been deceived by you," Li Yuan said softly, "Your words, nine truths and one falsehood, are indeed formidable."


    The faces of the human martial artists present changed drastically. Deception?


    "Spirit Gun Sir, I would never dare to deceive you," the Raylight Beast King said, his face flushed with excitement.


    "That Spirit Orb, it''s not only capable of communication over short distances but should also be able to communicate over extremely long distances, right?" Li Yuan said with a slight smile, looking at the Raylight Beast King, "Right now, you must have been continuously communicating with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, trying every means to lure me to that Divine Land entrance."


    Finally, the Raylight Beast King''s complexion changed. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He didn''t wait to refute.


    "Even more so," Li Yuan continued, "I guess you found the Seven Star Civilization so quickly, ostensibly providing information about the Mingxu Beast Clan... probably also on the orders of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, right? To be of use at the critical moment."


    "Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I''m not wrong, am I?" Li Yuan stared at the Raylight Beast King as if staring at the Beast Emperor lurking behind the scenes.


    Boom!


    The Raylight Beast King suddenly erupted, his body instantly radiating numerous violent thunderous lights. These bolts of lightning seemed to submerge all the human martial artists present.


    However, the Raylight Beast King suddenly lashed out, but Li Yuan was prepared, and his speed was even faster.


    Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire


    "Whoosh!"


    A terrifying Spear Light struck, piercing through layers of electricity in an instant, penetrating the Raylight Beast Emperor''s already battered head... His head exploded, and his body immediately fell powerlessly.


    The thunderous assault that had just been launched some few dozen meters suddenly diminished in power and was easily blocked by Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others.


    The Raylight Beast King, dead!


    Thus, the eight top Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan were all slaughtered by Li Yuan alone.


    The many human martial artists were all shocked as they looked at Li Yuan.


    "Spirit Gun, how did you figure it out?" Tavares couldn''t help but ask.


    "He was too eager."


    "Logically speaking, to save his life, he should have been as reticent as possible about the secrets he knew."


    "To blurt everything out in one breath leaves him with no value; what is there to ensure his survival? Does he really believe in our promises that much?" Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    The crowd suddenly understood.


    "Moreover, his lure was too obvious, repeatedly emphasizing that Divine Land entrance, as if he was hurrying us to venture there... and he deliberately stressed that the Tianliang Civilization ventured there as well."


    "The key point is the Spirit Orb he mentioned."


    "If they can even transmit their dying images back... it''s impossible not to be able to communicate within the Mingxu Star Realm," Li Yuan said softly, "So, I had my suspicions and bluffed him. The result was that he couldn''t hold back and exposed himself." Li Yuan said.


    In fact, that so-called Spirit Orb.


    After pondering for a long time, it reminded Li Yuan of a treasure called ''Soul Crystal Ball'' mentioned in the information provided by Dongfang Ji, which was a type of wondrous object convenient for a squad''s soldiers to contact each other, barely considered a piece of technology.


    "So, the Raylight Beast King was deliberately contacting us earlier?" Luo Chan couldn''t help but say.


    "Perhaps, but they are all dead now, and there''s no need to delve further into it," Li Yuan said, shaking his head, "No matter what plans the Mingxu Beast Clan had... they have been thoroughly defeated in this battle."


    "The most threatening group of top Beast Kings is all dead."


    As he spoke.


    Li Yuan looked down at the ruins below after the great battle, where many Beast King corpses lay, his gaze somewhat complicated: "When the battle is completely over, when we have time, we should collect these Beast King corpses again and give them a proper burial."


    "To fight to the death without heed for one''s own life, they, too, deserve respect," Li Yuan said slowly.


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    According to the intelligence understood, the Mingxu Beast Clan actually came from different clans, who also fought and warred with each other in the past... But facing the onslaught of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization.


    The Beast Kings from these various races united unprecedentedly in one place, fighting bloodily.


    But this is a civilization war!


    Li Yuan, Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others, for the power of the Seven Star Civilization, would not show mercy.


    On the contrary, they would eradicate all potential threats.


    Just as on Blue Star, during the era of the evolution of all beings, humans exterminated countless species and grew to become the most intelligent.


    Now, in the Dimensional Domain, many civilizations contend for supremacy, and over the past centuries, the numerous invasions faced by the Seven Star Civilization, even the great extinction once suffered by Feixing.


    It made Li Yuan, Tavares, and the others realize that if the Seven Star Civilization didn''t seize every opportunity to grow stronger, they would die!!


    ...


    "Spirit Gun, what should we do now?" Luo Chan inquired, "Shall we go to area 67 on the outskirts of Ming Mountain?"


    The others also looked to Li Yuan.


    "No!"


    "Let''s go to the dwellings of the Three Great Beast Emperors. Especially the dwelling of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor," Li Yuan said solemnly.

 Chapter 311 Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_3

    ```"If there is only one entrance to the divine land in Area 67, wouldn''t it be better for the Beast Emperor to build his lair there and be on constant guard?"


    "Besides, if the Beast Kings under the Three Great Beast Emperors are to gather in one place, why must they congregate at the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s residence?" Li Yuan said.


    His words enlightened everyone.


    In reality, Li Yuan was able to think of so much, not because he was smarter than the rest... it was simply because he had access to the most intelligence.


    "Li Yuan, do you suspect that the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor is another entrance to the divine land?" Tavares couldn''t help but ask.


    "We''ll know once we get there," Li Yuan said. "In any case, we shouldn''t head to the divine land entrance in Area 67 for now... It''s highly likely there''s a Beast Emperor guarding the entrance on the other side."


    Although he was not very afraid of the Three Great Beast Emperors, Li Yuan still preferred to play it safe.


    Since they were already behind the Tianliang Civilization by so much, there was no rush. Seeking haste sometimes isn''t a good thing.


    "Why do the Three Great Beast Emperors continue to hide within the divine land without coming out?" Li Yang pondered aloud, "Like in the recent battle, if the Three Great Beast Emperors had been there, we probably would have been defeated miserably."


    "Either they have more important matters to attend to," Luo Chan said, "or... they can''t come out momentarily. There must be a reason."


    The group nodded in agreement.


    "Let''s go," Li Yuan said as he turned into a beam of light, taking flight toward the distant Ming Mountain.


    Boom! Boom!


    Many human Martial Artists then flew into the warship, quickly setting off toward the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    The residences of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor were not completely confirmed by the Seven Star Civilization; only their general locations were known.


    However, the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, ''Heavenly Serpent Lake,'' was clearly marked.


    ...


    As Li Yuan and the others were in motion, deep within Ming Mountain at Heavenly Serpent Lake, the lake roiled massively.


    Splash~ Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire


    A nearly ninety-meter-long Qing colored Flying Serpent pierced through the clouds, its claws skimming the surface of the water, rapidly diving into the ancient palace at the center of the lake.


    "Qing Sheng!"


    "Qing Sheng, have you returned?" Two Flying Serpents, one black and one white, flew out from either side of the palace. These two Flying Heaven Level serpents were responsible for guarding the Beast Emperor''s palace on a daily basis.


    "You should already be aware of the battle results," Qing Sheng Beast King said with a pale face: "They''re all dead, Uncle Chi Yen is dead, Hei Guang is dead, Tian He, Nan Xiong... they''re all dead..."


    Among the group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, Qing Sheng Beast King''s strength in direct combat was on the weaker side; he was, however, exceptionally skilled in flight... added to the fact that Li Yuan did not know his identity.


    Thus, Qing Sheng Beast King had managed to escape with his life and rushed over immediately.


    "We''re aware."


    "The Thunder Shine Beast King also perished in battle just now," the dark serpent somberly said: "Qing Sheng, hurry inside; the Beast Emperor''s projection is waiting for you in the main hall."


    Qing Sheng Beast King nodded and flew into the main hall, where he saw a massive, sparkling sphere floating in the void of the hall.


    Below the sphere was a giant projection, distinctly that of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Father," Qing Sheng Beast King spoke somberly.


    "Do you remember the orders I gave you before?" the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor stared at his offspring.


    "I remember," Qing Sheng Beast King nodded hurriedly: "Take the Soul Crystal Ball and stay far away from the warriors of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization... and also inform the Tianliang Civilization about the power of the Spirit Gun."


    On his way back.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had already communicated with him, revealing many secrets and instructing him on what to do.


    The most critical task was to take away the Soul Crystal Ball.


    However, once it was removed from the palace, the effectiveness of the Soul Crystal Ball would drastically diminish... at least the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor would no longer be able to contact those Flying Heaven Beast Kings directly.


    This palace, paired with the Soul Crystal Ball, had been incredibly challenging to build.


    If he didn''t take it away?


    It wouldn''t be long before the Seven Star Civilization''s army arrived.


    "Father, when can you and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor come out?" Qing Sheng Beast King asked reluctantly.


    "Several exits have been sealed by those human warriors; now, the divine land is only accessible from the outside, not from within," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, his serpent eyes filled with coldness: "We are trying to find a way to kill that human warrior Yu Jinghe and seize control of the divine land."


    "The several geniuses who entered from the Tianliang Civilization are also exceptionally strong. Although we lured and killed a few, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was also severely injured..."


    "Anyway, you must flee quickly."


    "Also, activate the Origin Power Array beneath the palace... If we can''t ambush the Spirit Gun in that military passage, then lure him into this passage," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor said coldly: "The divine land is a great temptation. As long as the top talents from these two civilizations enter, we can gradually kill them... everything will not be an issue."


    "Yes, Father," Qing Sheng Beast King responded.


    But his heart was somewhat uneasy; even his father, together with the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, couldn''t kill all the Tianliang Civilization''s geniuses... What if an even stronger Spirit Gun entered?


    What would be the outcome?


    Hard to say! But at this point, there was no better plan.


    Shortly after.


    Qing Sheng Beast King took down the Soul Crystal Ball and swiftly left with the other two Flying Serpent Beast Kings.


    Soon after their departure.


    "Rumble~" At the edge of the vast Heavenly Serpent Lake, spanning tens of kilometers, the land suddenly collapsed, creating a huge gap, and then a massive amount of water from the lake poured wildly through the gap, crashing down the cliff below.


    At first glance, it formed a colossal waterfall!!


    And the water level of Heavenly Serpent Lake began to drop rapidly, visible to the naked eye.


    ...


    Deep within Ming Mountain, in a vast hall supported by countless metal pillars.


    Two Exotic Beasts of enormous size were coiled there, their bodies exuding powerful auras.


    One of them, a Qing colored Flying Serpent surpassing a hundred meters in length and covered in scales like a Battle Garment, had a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

 Chapter 311 Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_4

    "Damn it!!""Is he really a Second Rank Life? Can Second Rank Life be this strong?" the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor growled angrily, "According to the training officer, the strongest Second Rank Life on the mothership back then wasn''t this freakishly powerful."


    "Only the most exceptional prodigies from the prime civilizations, cultivating the strongest Body Refining Star Techniques and coupled with extremely high skill comprehension, could theoretically explode with the power of Flying Heaven Peak." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, "Could he have become a Flying Heaven Level? Does he have a special secret treasure that can conceal his aura?"


    "Heavenly Serpent."


    A somewhat weak voice sounded, speaking somberly, "Now is not the time to fret over this."


    "In fact, you''d better be thankful he isn''t at the Flying Heaven Level, because otherwise, his power would rise swiftly, and he''d need to stay in the Mingxu World for a longer time, in which case, we would definitely be doomed." The feeble voice came from a peculiar monster that at first glance resembled an octopus, but its body was covered in a dense array of eyes.


    It was enough to make one''s heart shudder upon seeing it.


    He was one of the Three Great Beast Emperors of the Mingxu Beast Clan¡ªThousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor fell silent upon hearing these words, "Thousand Eyes, what should we do?"


    "Wang Ling should take on the Elite Passage; he has a Six Star Pulse... Among the three of us, he has the most hope," said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor gravely. "As long as he can make it through, he would be able to enter the Inner Layer, not only to catch Yu Jinghe... but there''s also a chance to gain control of the entire mothership."


    "If we could get control of the mothership, the Mingxu World would still be ours," There was a slight excitement in the voice of the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    "Our task is to block the newcomers as much as possible, preventing them from entering the ''Alien God Area'', and to buy as much time for Wang Ling as possible."


    "They are outsiders, without the bloodline of the prime civilization, and cannot go through the elite assessment; at most, they can only become ''auxiliary soldiers''," said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    "Easier said than done."

    "Those geniuses from the Tianliang Civilization before still made it through, didn''t they? And they even wounded you," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, "Although this mothership is our turf, those methods left by the Alien Gods before their deaths... also guide these outsiders."


    For thousands of years, generation after generation of Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan attempted to break into the interior of Ming Mountain.


    Most of them failed.


    It wasn''t until the rise of the Three Great Beast Emperors that they truly broke into the mothership, learned the ultimate secrets of the Mingxu World, and realized how vast the outside world was... However, their power was still too weak to even touch the core area of the mothership. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Within the mothership, there were also those Alien God Areas... The Three Great Beast Emperors thought they had enough time to slowly explore and strengthen themselves.


    Unexpectedly, the Star Realm passageway expanded.


    Seven Stars Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, all came killing their way over.


    "Do our best, that''s all." The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor shook its head, "When the mothership was defeated in the great battle and fell into this Star Realm... we were the remaining bloodline of the wreckage, not the true original life of the Mingxu Star Realm."


    "Let''s go."


    "If your plan succeeds, that Spirit Gun should be coming in through passage number three." The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor spoke deeply.


    "Hmm."


    At this point, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had no better plan, and the two Beast Emperors turned into streaks of light, moving through the vast metallic passages seemingly made for passage by exotic beasts.


    ...


    In the Seven Star Civilization''s main base within the Mingxu Star Realm, inside an extra-large conference room.


    "What is this?"


    "This has been transmitted by the Mingxu Beast Clan."


    "Spirit Gun, he? This!!" The group of True Intent Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors were shocked as they looked at the scene in the projection.


    Dressed in black, wielding a Long Spear! Slaughtering one Flying Heaven Beast King after another.


    "Reporting!!"


    "Prime Warrior? Flying Heaven Peak strength? Even in the Myriad Demons Civilization, with a history spanning tens of thousands of years, such an unparalleled genius has never emerged!!"

 Chapter 312 Fame Spreads to Foreign Domain

    ```Such a major event occurring within the Star Realm meant that the commanders of the Tianliang Civilization''s main base dared not take anything lightly.


    Immediately, the commander sent the news and the relevant battle footage to the demigods in the civilization''s upper echelons.


    ...Above a sea near the "Mingxu Star Realm Passage" on Tianliang Star, a super-large warship was hovering.


    Inside the warship''s meeting room.


    When the images of battle appeared on the giant screen projection, all the Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room showed looks of shock, and even the faces of those few demigods changed.


    A Prime Warrior, facing hundreds of enemies alone, eventually killed more than a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings, and even that rather powerful ''Chi Yen Beast King'' fell under his long spear... Such strength was truly terrifying.


    "A Prime Warrior can be this strong?"


    "It shouldn''t be!"


    "With Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power, his strength is definitely comparable to the peak of Flying Heaven. How did he do it?"


    "Two months ago, during his battle with the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea, he was far from this terrifying." Those Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room were whispering cautiously to each other, their voices unable to hide their shock.


    Such a powerful Prime Warrior was unheard of; they had neither seen nor heard of one before, and there was no record of one in the ancient texts.


    The few demigods exchanged glances with equally shocked expressions in their eyes.


    "Jin Liang, is this your intelligence? Didn''t you say that the Spirit Gun''s strength was not beyond level 34?" Ye An Semi Divine''s voice carried a hint of anger: "To be able to kill the Chi Yen Beast King, he must be at level 35."


    Jin Liang, a demigod with a full head of blond hair and dressed in purple finery, was also somewhat at a loss, shaking his head with a wry smile: "Ye An Semi Divine, if I knew the Spirit Gun had such strength, would I dare compete with him?"


    Jin Liang the demigod also felt helpless; who could have foreseen the Spirit Gun''s terrifying power?


    "Compete?"


    "Damn!" Ye An Semi Divine''s eyes were ice-cold: "Lu Lei is dead, leaving only Rolbis, Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, and a few others. Up to now, we still do not know how Lu Lei died."


    "Now, the Spirit Gun has revealed such terrifying strength. He will surely enter the Divine Land very soon, which is even more dangerous."


    Thinking of this, Ye An Semi Divine felt waves of anger.


    Ten days ago, the Tianliang Clan''s army attacked Ming Mountain. Before long, they extorted the coordinates of the entrance to the Divine Land located in the outer area of Ming Mountain, sector 67... Soon after, Xue Yan led Lu Lei, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and a group of top geniuses into it, plunging into the interior of the Divine Land.


    But after entering the Divine Land, the Tianliang Clan also lost contact with these top geniuses.


    Fortunately,


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had a special method to confirm whether someone was alive or dead... but soon after, it was shown that Lu Lei had died.


    "Ye An, there''s no need to worry too much." Jin Liang the demigod spoke solemnly: "There are only two possibilities for Lu Lei''s death. The first is that there is great danger within the Divine Land, and the second is that they were attacked by the Three Great Beast Emperors... All of the Three Great Beast Emperors should be at the Sky-soaring Pinnacle level."


    When Lu Lei died, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine suspected that the Mingxu Beast Clan was playing dirty, but there was no way to confirm it.


    "We already have the Three Great Beast Emperors."


    "And the Spirit Gun, his threat is indeed significant, but speaking of true strength, aside from faster speed, his attack capability should be similar to that of the Beast Kings... Even if he enters the Divine Land, at most it will only make it more dangerous for Xue Yan, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the others." Jin Liang the demigod said: "Furthermore, the Spirit Gun killing so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings, the Three Great Beast Emperors are sure to know... He and the Three Great Beast Emperors are likely to battle each other."


    "There are advantages and disadvantages!" Jin Liang the demigod analyzed.


    Ye An Semi Divine''s eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice: "At this point, all we can do is wait."


    "What I''m worried about now is not just the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm." Ye An Semi Divine spoke slowly: "But the future."


    "The future?" Jin Liang the demigod''s pupils constricted slightly.


    "The Spirit Gun, such an exceptional freak, is even more monstrous than Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai!!" Ye An Semi Divine said softly: "In the future, could he become a god?"


    "Once he becomes a god, then the destruction of the Seven Star Civilization will truly be nearly an unreachable dream."


    Silence ensued.


    The demigods all fell into thought.


    But the Flying Heaven Warriors present didn''t have such deep feelings, first because their vision was not wide enough, and second because although the Tianliang Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization had been in continuous rivalry, there had never been a war at the demigod level... It was always the Myriad Demons Civilization that truly wanted to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The Seven Star Civilization is indeed getting stronger." Jin Liang the demigod sighed lightly: "In these decades, more and more Flying Heaven Warriors and demigods are being born, and there are many dazzling ones. First came Dongfang Ji, then Fang Hai rose in the middle, soon there was Li Yuan... and now there comes an even more monstrous Spirit Gun."


    "All of these have the hope of becoming gods."


    "Just in a span of one or two hundred years, who knows where so many geniuses have come from." Jin Liang the demigod shook his head.


    Thinking of this.


    "Dolongke, go issue the order, to increase support for the Mingxu Star Realm''s main base, and dispatch all of the Saint Heirs in the civilization... Also send five more warships." Jin Liang the demigod ordered.


    "What about the other Second Level Star Realms, Third Level Star Realms..." That Flying Heaven Warrior hesitated.


    "Priority goes to supporting the direction of the Mingxu Star Realm." Jin Liang the demigod said solemnly.


    "Understood."


    ...


    As for the news about the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine did not order a ban on its spread.


    Therefore,


    Among the higher-ups of the Tianliang Civilization above the Flying Heaven Level, the news spread quickly: ''Seven Star Civilization''s ''Spirit Gun'', as a Prime Warrior, erupted with the strength of the peak of Flying Heaven, slaughtering over a hundred Flying Heaven strong fighters''.


    Similarly, many other Foreign Civilizations had secret channels within the high echelons of Tianliang, at least with information exchange pathways... Faced with this explosive news, intelligence agents from various civilizations were shocked.


    "A Prime Warrior? With the strength of Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power?"


    "This Spirit Gun, he''s too powerful, who exactly is he?"


    "We have no clues about him!"


    If it had been a Flying Heaven Warrior who had cultivated for many years suddenly bursting forth with such combat power, it would be just ordinary intelligence.


    ```


    ```


    But if this was accomplished by a Prime Warrior, then it''s defying the heavens.


    In terms of shock value, it''s hardly less than a devastating battle between demigods.


    This also led to intelligence agents swiftly relaying the news of the "Spirit Gun" back to their respective civilizations, especially those bordering the Seven Star Civilization... With the power of the Spirit Gun, it could significantly alter the course of most Second Level Star Realms.


    ...


    Cloud Beast Civilization.


    The highest echelon of demigods convened the "Saint Lord Meeting" immediately.


    The consciousness of each demigod descended upon that mysterious virtual domain.


    "I believe you''ve all seen the intelligence regarding the Spirit Gun,"


    "Today''s meeting has just two items on the agenda,"


    "First, is the discussion about whether or not to abandon the Rob Sea and two other Second Level Star Realms." The voice of the Black Plow Demigod was somber, "You should all be clear that facing the attack of the Spirit Gun, places like the three mother nests of beasts in the Rob Sea will have a hard time holding on."


    Many demigods began to ponder.


    "Speaker, these three Star Realms have been under our management for a long time, and we''ve invested massive resources. How could we just give them up?" A demigod spoke gravely, "The battle in the Mingxu Star Realm has not yet concluded, whether the Spirit Gun can return alive is still an unknown."


    "Exactly!"


    "We''re anxious, but the ones who are truly desperate are the Myriad Demons Civilization; they will certainly try to kill the Spirit Gun. Maybe the Spirit Gun won''t even have a chance to attack us before being eliminated by the Myriad Demons Civilization," another demigod chimed in.


    Clearly, most demigods were not willing to give up just yet.


    As time passed, and after deliberation, the highest level of the Cloud Beast Civilization reached a consensus¡ªif any of the Second Level Star Realms were to be attacked by the Spirit Gun, the other two would immediately begin full retreat.


    "The Spirit Gun, has he really become so powerful?" Wudong Xue Demigod sighed inwardly.


    When he first received the intel on the "Spirit Gun", he was profoundly shocked as well.


    And at today''s Saint Lord Meeting, he rarely kept silent.


    "The second item on the agenda is concerning eradicating the Spirit Gun," Black Plow Demigod spoke slowly, "The Myriad Demons Civilization, has just sent us a message¡­ hoping we can join forces to eliminate the Spirit Gun."


    "Together? To collaborate?"


    "The Seven Star Civilization poses a threat to us, but an even graver threat comes from the Myriad Demons Civilization."


    "Cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization is akin to asking a tiger for its skin," the many demigods conferred amongst themselves.


    Engaging in war with the Seven Star Civilization didn''t necessarily mean that they were allies with the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Apart from relations like those between the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, it''s rare for different civilizations to have absolute trust.


    The relationships between different civilizations are extremely complex.


    Finally, with the strong advocacy of the Speaker Black Plow Demigod, the higher-ups of the Cloud Beast Civilization agreed with reluctance to utilize their intelligence network to the fullest, searching for any trace of the Spirit Gun, and if necessary, passing the information on to the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Although they were not keen on cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization''s higher-ups were more eager to kill the "Spirit Gun."


    ...


    Time went on.


    Not only the Cloud Beast Civilization, but even the distant Immortal Ruins Civilization began to hear of a supreme genius "Spirit Gun" born within the Seven Star Civilization, with a formidable record of battle.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, they no longer kept it a secret either; the news spread rapidly and they even took active measures to promote the dissemination of the information.


    "Mingxu Star Realm, a grand victory!!"


    "Spirit Gun, in one battle, slew over a hundred Flying Heaven Level beings from an Alien Race." Just these two pieces of news were enough to send the popularity of the "Spirit Gun" skyrocketing, quickly reaching the ''top headlines'' on the virtual network of the Seven Great Planets.

    ...Martial Divine Star Realm, at the palace atop Seven Star Mountain.


    "This ferocious?"


    "Spirit Gun, with Flying Heaven Peak strength?" When Duanmu Mountain Master received this news, he was somewhat befuddled.


    With many members of Seven Star Mountain convened in the Mingxu Star Realm, Duanmu Hong naturally paid close attention to the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    With his privileges, he even obtained the battle footage.


    "How did he do it?"


    "Even with the foundation of a Prime Warrior, no secret treasure should enable him to exert such monstrous power, to annihilate a Beast King of level 34 in one move?" Duanmu Mountain Master looked at the intelligence, slightly bewildered, "Is that really Li Yuan? Could I have guessed wrong?"


    It was too monstrous.


    Suddenly.


    "Duanmu!" A calm voice suddenly resounded in his mind, "You should have guessed long ago that the Spirit Gun is Li Yuan."


    "Alliance Hierarch." Duanmu Mountain Master''s heart jolted.


    Only the Alliance Hierarch could bypass the palace''s defenses and speak directly into his mind.


    His heart was filled with even greater shock; previously, he had only conjectured based on various clues.


    Now, it was confirmed.


    "Warn again each Seven Star Mountain member who knows of this message, they are absolutely not allowed to leak it!" Dongfang Ji''s voice carried a trace of chill, "Anyone who leaks the information will be deemed a traitor to the clan!"


    "Yes!" Duanmu Mountain Master''s heart chilled.


    He understood the gravity of the situation; a Prime Warrior displaying Flying Heaven Peak strength was enough to astonish many Foreign Civilizations... Now, if they were to also learn that the Spirit Gun is only 20 years old, they would likely go mad, and it would be normal for them to take any kind of action.


    A 50-year-old Prime Warrior achieving this is one thing, but a 20-year-old Prime Warrior doing so... the difference is tremendous.


    ```

 Chapter 313 The Alliance Hierarchs Observation! Two Pathways

    Not far from the Martial Divine Star Realm lay the mysterious Void Land, where Dongfang Ji spent his years in constant, solitary cultivation."He truly managed to do it."


    "It wasn''t in vain that I took the trouble to help him get the materials for the Body Refining Star Technique." Sitting cross-legged in the void, Dongfang Ji let out a smile, "It seems he truly has the hope of getting through the Ninth Mountain world."


    "Perhaps, in the future, he might even catch up to me," said Dongfang Ji softly.


    It was as if he was talking to himself, yet also as if he was speaking to someone else.


    "Master, I can''t agree with that," a deep voice suddenly said: "It''s true he might have the hope of getting through the Ninth Mountain world, but to catch up to you, Master? He''s still far from it."


    "If it weren''t for the fact that you, Master, want to..." the deep voice rambled.


    "Ha-ha, you also shouldn''t underestimate him," Dongfang Ji shook his head: "Anyway, when it came to the Prime Warrior and Flying Heaven Warrior stages, I was definitely not as good as Li Yuan."


    "But, Master, when you reached the Semi-Divine stage, you took the path of the unbeaten; cultivation isn''t just about the present," said the deep voice with certainty: "The last time you took action here in this Dimensional Domain was almost a hundred years ago. In that battle, you killed dozens of demigods, easily slaying even those at the peak of demi-divinity."


    "How long had you been a demigod at that time? Less than ten years. Nearly a hundred years have passed. Who in the outside world knows your true strength now?"


    "If not for the pursuit of getting through the Ninth Mountain world, as well as to protect the Seven Star Civilization, you could have broken through long ago," said the deep voice with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Now, some fools within our civilization actually believe this Li Yuan might catch up to you in the future?"


    Clearly, this deep voice held Dongfang Ji in the utmost reverence.


    "Ha-ha," Dongfang Ji laughed: "You know, on the path of cultivation, one must never underestimate anyone."


    "Besides."


    "The birth of a genius like him within the Seven Star Civilization is a good thing for the entire civilization and for me," Dongfang Ji said with a calm smile: "Once Fang Hai breaks through, and after Li Yuan has grown a bit more, I''ll finally be able to truly lay down the responsibilities I carry."


    A hundred years ago, for the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji made many preparations, such as establishing the Martial Divine Hall, the reward and punishment system from top to bottom, and the Seven Stars Treasury, the Star Technique Treasury, and so on.


    After that, Dongfang Ji rarely paid attention to the internal affairs of the civilization.


    Even the many civilizations around him were no longer seen as a fatal threat. Continue your story on My Virtual Library Empire


    The Myriad Demons Civilization? They didn''t dare to invade again.


    Even the ''North Moon Deity'' of the Myriad Demons Civilization was conducting covert trades with him.


    However, Dongfang Ji was well aware that the might of a civilization cannot rest on one person alone.


    The strength of a civilization needed to be tempered, to grow through blood and fire.


    Therefore, for many matters, as long as they didn''t threaten the foundation of the civilization, he just watched with detached interest.


    Let those Prime Warriors, Flying Heaven Warriors, and demigods fight desperately.


    Even with his own descendants, he did the same.


    If they wanted a life of peace, he would provide it, but if they wished to progress on the path of the Martial Path, then they should fight their way through.


    If they died? Then they would die!


    Even some of the crises facing the Seven Star Civilization, which he clearly could have resolved in advance, were left unaddressed.


    As long as the overall situation wasn''t out of control, he would not intervene.


    Without crises, how could the entire civilization advance?


    The seeds had been sown; Dongfang Ji was just waiting for them to sprout... Only when one has worked hard enough, displaying sufficient value, would he lend a helping hand.


    Like with Fang Hai, like with Li Yuan.


    "That''s true, the stronger they are, the better it is for you, Master."


    "I also look forward to the day they fully grow," said the deep voice with anticipation: "Then, I could accompany the Master to battle through the rivers of dimensions."


    "Right."


    "Master."


    "There are two matters I need to report to you," said the deep voice seriously: "The first is that the planetary monitoring system I arranged on Blue Star has detected... a force that has been repeatedly trying to infiltrate the virtual network mainframe recently."


    "They have launched multiple attacks, all of which I have blocked."


    "What force? From the Myriad Demons Civilization?" Dongfang Ji frowned slightly.


    The virtual network mainframe controlled the core secrets of a star, with a mass of secret messages, all within the mainframe.


    In terms of importance, it was comparable to that of a demigod.


    "No!"


    "The techniques of the Myriad Demons Civilization aren''t that sophisticated," said the deep voice: "These adversaries are unfamiliar, seeming to appear for the first time... I keep trying to trace back to the source, but to no avail."


    "They seem to just be gathering information, without taking any dangerous actions."


    "Heh heh."


    "They certainly wouldn''t expect that our planet''s virtual network mainframe is of Sixth Rank standard," said the deep voice: "How could it be so easily breached?"


    "Hmm."


    "Investigate in secret, strive to track down their physical entity," Dongfang Ji said in a low voice: "If the Guardian Legion isn''t strong enough, notify Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the others."


    "Yes," said the deep voice.


    "The second matter," the deep voice continued: "According to intelligence from a covert line within the Myriad Demons Civilization, there should be an assassination against Spirit Gun planned, with the initiation of a ''top-level undercover agent''. "


    "Their strength should be comparable to a normal Flying Heaven Star Lord," the deep voice said.


    "Flying Heaven Star Lord? Is it an Alien Race assassin lurking in the Myriad Demons Civilization, or a traitor within our civilization?" Dongfang Ji frowned.


    "The likelihood of a traitor is higher," said the deep voice: "But this aspect of intelligence hasn''t been uncovered; it''s being personally controlled by the Eastern Demon Deity."


    "Eastern Demon?" A cold light flashed in Dongfang Ji''s eyes.


    If there were any civilizations around the Seven Star Civilization that he still regarded as major threats, the Eastern Demon Deity would be at the forefront.


    ```


    Unfortunately, Dongfang Ji could never find the right opportunity.


    "Inform Bai Shan Semi-Divine of this message," Dongfang Ji said, "Also tell Fang Hai to be discreet and careful in their protection... As soon as Li Yuan emerges, see to his safe passage to the Martial Divine Star Realm."


    "Yes!"


    ...


    In the Blue Star, on the Europa Continent, there was an inconspicuous small city with a vast estate on its outskirts.


    Today, there was a grand celebration being held within the estate, a monthly banquet hosted by a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    The guests were all distinguished nobles from the Europa Continent or some powerful martial artists.


    "Today, let us raise our glasses to the Star Lord, wishing him an early breakthrough to demi-godhood, becoming the towering pillar of our Seven Star Civilization," said a middle-aged Caucasian man in a suit, lifting his glass with a smile.


    "To the Star Lord''s honor."


    "To the Star Lord''s honor." On the grass, the hundreds of attendees all toasted in unison.


    "I thank you all," the young Caucasian man seated at the head of the table said with a smile. As a Flying Heaven Star Lord, his actual age was nearly a hundred, but he could remain youthful if he so chose.


    Suddenly, the young Caucasian man felt something and said with a smile, "Everybody continue, I have to leave for a bit."


    He set down his wine glass!


    Whoosh!


    With one step, the young Caucasian man drifted away like a breeze for hundreds of meters, entering the distant castle.


    "Indeed, it''s the speed."


    "That speed just now, it definitely reached the speed of sound, and yet there wasn''t even the slightest sound," many of the participating martial artists whispered amongst themselves.


    At the bottom of the castle, there was a secret room, empty except for a bed.


    "Whoosh!"


    The young Caucasian man who had just stepped out no longer had any smile on his face. He flipped his palm and took out a completely black sphere. The sphere emitted strange fluctuations and a slight purple light shone through, which was rather sinister.


    "Crack~" The black sphere suddenly burst and turned into a cloud of black fog.


    Rapidly,


    The black fog formed a shadowy figure that was partly visible and partly invisible, and an invisible will enveloped the entire secret room.


    "Oh Great God!"


    "Oh Great Master," the young Caucasian man knelt down on the ground, the high and mighty Flying Heaven Star Lord now looked like a servant, his eyes filled with fervor.


    "It has been long since I last awakened you," said the shadowy figure in the black fog slowly, "But this time, I need to activate you."


    "Master, please command me," said the young Caucasian man respectfully.


    "By any means you can think of," the shadowy figure in the black fog said slowly, "kill the Spirit Gun!"


    "Master, once I make a move, I''m afraid I will be hunted down by demi-gods," the young Caucasian man hesitated.


    "Correct!" the shadowy figure in the black fog looked at the young Caucasian man and said, "That''s why you only have one chance. After killing, flee immediately to the Wanhan Star Realm... I will also try to create as many opportunities for escape as possible."


    "Yes, Master."


    "I will do my utmost to complete the task," said the young Caucasian man respectfully, clearly not the kind that simply sold out the interests of his race as a sleeper agent.


    It was more like his mind was completely controlled!


    ...


    Outside, the world was bustling with action.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Seven Star Civilization''s army led by Li Yuan had not stopped for a moment.


    In less than two days,


    The Seven Star Civilization''s army, based on the intelligence from the Thunder Light Beast King and past accumulated data, had preliminarily swept through the entire Ming Mountain.


    Every secret place belonging to the Mingxu Beast Clan, even the residences of the Three Great Beast Emperors... all had been swept through.


    In this sweep, Li Yuan and his forces killed more than ten Flying Heaven Beast Kings they encountered.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings were simply unlucky; they never expected the Seven Star Civilization''s army to conduct such a fast and thorough sweep.


    Of course, most of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings were already deep in hiding, most burrowing deep into the ground.


    Even with Li Yuan''s great strength, he wouldn''t be able to find them in such a short time. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Heavenly Serpent Lake was shrouded in mist,


    However, compared to its past beauty, today''s Heavenly Serpent Lake was in ruins, with much of its water having already flowed away.


    "Rumble~" One after another, huge warships tore through the layers of mist, descending for the second time over the surface of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    More than ten powerful figures descended rapidly from the warships, standing above the surface of the lake, led by a black-clad man with a gun.


    "Spirit Gun, are you really prepared to enter through the passage in Heavenly Serpent Lake?" Tavares couldn''t help but ask, "Could it be a trap?"


    The others couldn''t help but look at Li Yuan.


    "In the past two days, we have basically scanned the entirety of Ming Mountain, and we found only these two passages," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    One passage was located in the outer perimeter area 67 of Ming Mountain.


    The other passage was through Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    A little more than a day ago, when Li Yuan led the army here, they found nothing but emptiness, save for some first and second-rank Flying Serpents and an island in the heart of the lake.


    However, after thorough inquiry, Li Yuan and Luo Chan discovered a passage at the bottom of the lake.


    ```

 Chapter 314 Entering the Divine Land! You Are from an Alien Race (Extra 30)

    "Spirit Gun.""According to what the Thunderglow Beast King said, each of the Three Great Beast Emperors possesses a Spirit Orb, which corroborates with some of the information we''ve gathered... But we''ve raided the residencies of the Three Great Beast Emperors and found none of the Spirit Orbs." Luo Chan couldn''t help but say, "The remaining Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan must have reorganized."


    "What the Thunderglow Beast King said can''t be fully trusted."


    "The most crucial point is that the passage at the bottom of this lake was originally closed, but by the time we arrived, a large quantity of lake water had drained away... The sealed array at the bottom collapsed on its own."


    "This is clearly a deliberate ploy left by the Mingxu Beast Clan, much like a trap." Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, "If you enter, you might be in danger."


    Everyone present fell into deep thought.


    What Luo Chan said made sense.


    "Luo Chan," Li Yuan said, "But there are two issues. First, aren''t you implying that if those Flying Heaven Beast Kings hadn''t intentionally revealed the passage, we wouldn''t be able to detect it?"


    Luo Chan was rendered speechless.


    Indeed!


    Regardless of whether Qing Sheng Beast King and the others destroyed the peripheral Origin Power Array, the Seven Star Civilization would certainly conduct a thorough inquiry of Heavenly Serpent Lake, merely delaying things at most.


    "Second, I don''t have a choice," Li Yuan shook his head, "There are now only two passages, and compared to the passage at the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake, the other is far more dangerous."


    "If this passage is truly dangerous, and one would die upon entering it, why would the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor bother personally guarding this place?" Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan didn''t spell it out.


    Recently, he had received a message from Fang Hai: "According to covert intelligence, the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization who entered the Divine Land via the ''Military Passage'' around the periphery of Ming Mountain, some had perished not long after entering."


    How did they perish? It was unclear!


    This was enough to indicate that both passages could be dangerous.


    Without more intelligence, Li Yuan had no choice but to gamble.


    "Spirit Gun, should we wait a bit longer?" Li Yang suddenly said, "Do we need to rush in like this?"


    "Yeah!"


    "We can completely continue pursuing those Flying Heaven Beast Kings outside." Others also couldn''t help but speak up.


    "If the Three Great Beast Emperors keep hiding inside, shall I never enter?" Li Yuan shook his head, "Without slaying them, can we be at ease claiming the Mingxu Star Realm?"


    "Give me and Jiang Zai enough time, and we are confident we can beat them," Tavares said in a low voice.


    As a Prime Warrior who had made a breakthrough with True Intent, he believed that reaching the Flying Heaven Peak was not difficult.


    "I believe that you might match the Three Great Beast Emperors in the future, even slay them, but how long would that take?" Li Yuan said, "Ten years?"


    "I can''t wait that long," Li Yuan sighed.


    Tavares opened his mouth but said nothing.


    Reaching the Flying Heaven Peak within ten years, he wasn''t very confident about it.


    Naturally, he dared not make any bold claims.


    "Moreover, I can wait, but can Yu Jinghe? Whether he can force his way out on his own... that''s a complete unknown," Li Yuan said.


    "The geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization have already stormed in... Do we let them run amok inside? If they seize some critical treasure, the outcome of this war is unpredictable," Li Yuan slowly said.


    The other human Martial Artists present didn''t know.


    But Li Yuan was very clear that anything could happen with a Divine Class Mothership.


    If the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization or the Three Great Beast Emperors took control of it and activated it... then even a Demigod might not be able to withstand it.


    "Entering this so-called Divine Land is indeed dangerous."


    "But if there was no danger, why rely on me?" Li Yuan said with a frank smile, voicing his true feelings.


    In the void, silence prevailed like a mute sparrow.


    Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others were lost in thought. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In actuality, everyone knew, if ''Spirit Gun'' had not shown his heaven-defying combat strength, prompting the Seven Star Civilization leadership to resolve to fight... facing the oppression of the Three Great Beast Emperors, the Seven Star Civilization might have already chosen to withdraw from the Mingxu Star Realm.


    In war, there are victories and defeats.


    Among the various Foreign Civilizations, the Seven Star Civilization is not considered one of the strongest.


    In the past, the Seven Star Civilization failed more than once in vying for star realms.


    For instance, in struggling over the Rob Sea Star Realm, they were constantly suppressed in battle, merely managing to maintain the defensive line.


    "After I enter the Divine Land, you eight warships will return to the Bright Moon Base," Li Yuan instructed, "With the foremost Beast Kings slaughtered by my hand, even if the other Beast Kings band together... breaking into the base won''t be easy."


    "Understood," Tavares nodded.


    They all understood that the focus of this star realm warfare was no longer the vast territories of the Mingxu Star Realm, but the ''Divine Land.''


    If Spirit Gun could succeed in killing the Three Great Beast Emperors within the Divine Land, that would be the true completion of a great achievement.


    "Alright."


    "I''m going in." With a thought from Li Yuan, layers of yellow and blue streams interwove around him, forming a domain with a diameter of about a hundred meters. The domain was the best for large-scale inquiry and could effectively provide early warnings.


    "Boom~"


    The domain, laden with astonishing power, broke through the layers of water currents, protecting Li Yuan as he swiftly charged toward the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    Before long.


    "The Origin Power Array that once concealed the lake bottom has been directly breached." Li Yuan''s realm and spiritual power were excellent, allowing him to sense the various fluctuations that were diffusing around him.


    "This Origin Power Array must have been obtained by the Three Great Beast Emperors from the Mothership," Li Yuan mused.


    An Origin Power Array, centered on the mysteries of heaven and earth, using Origin Power as its core and stabilized with various extraordinary items, could unleash tremendous power at critical moments.


    However, Origin Power Arrays are exceedingly rare; even demigods mostly don''t utilize the mysteries of the universe with high efficiency.


    Just like storage treasures, which are easy for divine beings to create.


    But for demigods? It is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    What is difficult for others is not difficult for the accomplished.


    In fact, most of the Origin Power Arrays and storage treasures of the Seven Star Civilization were discovered in various ruins.


    "The Alliance Hierarch is indeed formidable, deducing that Ming Mountain might be a fallen Divine Class Mothership based only on its appearance and the scant information from the Mingxu Star Realm," Li Yuan mused silently.


    The stronger he became, the more he could feel the unfathomable depths of Dongfang Ji... Like before, the speed with which the latter collected the numerous materials needed to cultivate the ''All Things Divine Body'' had surprised Li Yuan considerably.


    "Passage."


    Li Yuan finally reached the bottom of the lake, where it was extremely dark, but his powerful Divine Sense allowed him to scan hundreds of meters in all directions. What was key, however, was the bundle of light.


    This was a passage with a diameter of about a hundred meters, akin to a deep abyss.


    The passage emitted a hazy glow, preventing Li Yuan from seeing the space inside clearly.


    A tremendous flow of water was kept outside the passage by an invisible force.


    "It does have some resemblance to the portals leading to Worlds within Worlds," Li Yuan thought to himself, recalling the scene when he first entered the World within Worlds in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    "However, the surroundings of this passage seem to be made of metal," Li Yuan sensed. "It should all be the outer shell of a Mothership. According to the information provided by the Alliance Hierarch... the entire Divine Class Mothership is forged into a single entity by the Origin Power Array, and even a demigod would have to attack thousands of times to breach the shell."


    These Mothership shells may not be on par with Semi Divine Artifact materials, but through the combination via the Origin Power Array, they become incredibly sturdy... Li Yuan had already tried and couldn''t shake them in the least.


    He observed for a while longer.


    "Enter!"


    With a thought, Li Yuan passed through his Domain and fell into the strange passage below.


    Above the lake.


    "We''ve lost the trace of the Spirit Gun," Tavares spoke solemnly. "He has entered the Divine Land."


    "He went in?"


    "What about his life signs?" the others hastily asked, very apprehensive.


    "According to the ''Life Crystal'', there is no immediate danger to his life," Tavares spoke solemnly. "However, he just entered, and it''s still too early to say for sure."


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, there''s a special Secret Treasure called ''Life Crystal'' that can confirm the life or death of living beings within close proximity.


    If one dies, then the Life Crystal will shatter.


    Yu Jinghe had refined a Life Crystal before entering, to determine his life or death status.


    Li Yuan, not long ago, also refined a Life Crystal, then left it aboard the Fourth-order Battleship.


    "Let''s go."


    "Without the Spirit Gun, we are very vulnerable now," Luo Chan said softly. "Better to quickly return to the Bright Moon Base, stand firm, and wait for news from Yu Jinghe and the Spirit Gun."


    Soon after, eight Warships swiftly departed from Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    ...


    After falling into the glowing strange passage.


    Li Yuan felt a flash before his eyes and found himself in an immensely vast hall, the height of the hall was probably more than ten kilometers, and the diameter was even dozens of kilometers.


    This could no longer be called a hall, it was more like a small-sized space.


    "Completely cast from metal?" Li Yuan held his breath, the huge space had an exceedingly smooth floor.


    Fully forged from metal, without even a speck of dust, everything seemed brand new.


    At the same time, there was a faint light shining from all sides of the space, making the whole area as bright as day, with nothing obscured.


    "Passage?" After the initial shock had passed, Li Yuan immediately saw that there were more than a dozen passages not far away.


    At the depths of each passage, there was a shimmering light curtain, making it impossible to see what lay beyond.


    "This should be the assembly square,"


    Li Yuan had information and quickly deduced: "In the past, the powerhouses of this Mothership must have gathered here before advancing through the passage I just traversed."


    "If that passage were fully opened, it should stretch not just one hundred meters, but thousands or even tens of thousands of meters."


    You see.


    According to the information provided by Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, a Divine Class Mothership could reach thousands of kilometers in length, fully capable of serving as a foundation for a civilization... sailing the endless starry seas for eons.


    Ming Mountain is possibly just the half of that Mothership that crashed into the ground.


    "Which passage should I choose?" Li Yuan wondered silently.


    Hum~ An invisible force suddenly swept across the void, its power was so strong, and its approach so swift, that Li Yuan had no chance to dodge.


    Layer by layer of inquiry! Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire


    It was akin to scanning.


    In the next moment, without giving Li Yuan time to react further, boom! An abundance of light abruptly congealed high in the space.


    Countless beams of light converged to form a giant black Flying Serpent Phantom, covered with heavy scales.


    Even as a phantom, it emitted an immensely powerful aura.


    "Flying Serpent?" Li Yuan''s eyebrows raised slightly and a sense of vigilance surged in his heart.


    "Alien Race!"


    "You dare to trespass our clan Mothership; do you wish to die?" The massive black Flying Serpent Phantom loomed over Li Yuan.

 Chapter 315 A Mirror? Guidance of the Alien God

    Looking at the giant Flying Serpent in the void.Li Yuan''s heart startled at first, but he quickly calmed down, thoughts racing in his mind, "Since Big Brother Yu and prodigies from the Myriad Demons Civilization could enter the Mothership alive, there''s no reason I would be an exception."


    One significant reason Li Yuan dared to burst in directly was the precedence set by others.


    If those who entered before had all died, Li Yuan would not have taken the risk.


    "This Phantom, it must be a type of auxiliary detection intelligence of the Mothership, just like the ''Fourth-order Battleships'' of my Seven Star Civilization, which also carry out preliminary checks when personnel come and go."


    "Besides, did he say ''want to die''?"


    "If it wanted to thoroughly kill me, there would be no need for such trouble, it could simply kill me directly," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In an instant, Li Yuan realized¡ªthere was a chance for life.


    Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Elder," Li Yuan immediately called out loudly, "I just entered unintentionally and did not mean any offense."


    "Hmph!"


    "In the past, any soldier not of our Alien Race who breached the Mothership would be killed," the Flying Serpent Phantom''s voice was ice-cold, "However, since the Mothership has crashed, according to the commands left by our clan elders and the Alien Gods... any life that enters the Mothership, as long as they are not enemies of our race, can be given an opportunity."


    "Clan elders? Alien Gods?" Li Yuan''s heart stirred, could it be that there were two forces within this Mothership?


    "Elder, what opportunity?" Li Yuan respectfully asked.


    "If you are willing to become a soldier of our race and undertake the corresponding responsibilities, you may live," the Flying Serpent Phantom looked down at Li Yuan.


    "What responsibilities?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Simply become a soldier, the responsibilities will not be too great," the Flying Serpent Phantom spoke gravely, "Choose now, either die or become a soldier."


    "Become a soldier," Li Yuan said helplessly. Was there really a choice?


    "Good."


    "If you were a Third Order Life, it would be very easy to qualify as a soldier," the Flying Serpent Phantom slowly said, "But you are just a Second Rank Life, for now, you can only serve as a reserve soldier... Most Second Rank Lives are hard-pressed to become Third Order, therefore, a necessary assessment is required."


    "If you are not strong enough, and fail the assessment, you cannot even become a reserve soldier," the Flying Serpent Phantom glanced at Li Yuan, revealing a hint of sharp teeth, "If you fail, then you must die!"


    Li Yuan, for his part, was not panicked; this was within his expectations.


    Previously, the Thunderlight Beast King had mentioned that even if one took another path as a soldier, one would still need to undergo necessary assessments to receive teachings in Star Techniques and weapons


    "Elder, what is the assessment?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Look over there," the Flying Serpent Phantom pointed not far off in this space.


    Hum~ Hum~ The originally smooth ground started to coalesce out of thin air with a large amount of silver liquid, which gathered and rose, forming an almost transparent silver mirror in mid-air.


    At the top of the mirror, there was a row of quite noticeable black Crystal Stones that at first glance looked like a row of display lights.


    "A mirror?" Li Yuan thought to himself. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Your trial is very simple, exhibit your full strength and attack this silver mirror," the Flying Serpent Phantom said softly, "Do you see the ''test lights'' at the top of the mirror? If your attack can light up three lamps, then you have passed the test."


    "If you can light up six, you can skip the status of reserve soldier and be directly granted the status of an ordinary soldier," the Flying Serpent Phantom continued.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    If six lamps lit up, it would signify possessing the strength of the Flying Heaven level, naturally granting him the status of an ordinary soldier.


    "Begin."


    "You may use any combat weapons, Star Techniques, and the like, but the use of Origin Power Weapons is not allowed," the Flying Serpent Phantom spoke deeply. "You may also attack multiple times, within one minute, as long as your strongest attack can light up three lamps."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded, unwilling to waste further time.


    Just one minute.


    Boom!


    With a mere thought, Li Yuan had transformed into a five-meter-tall figure with a robust aura spreading around him, already having employed the "All Things Divine Body." He then took hold of his long spear, and with a thunderous leap, he turned into a streak of light, dashing towards the giant silver mirror.


    In an instant, Li Yuan''s speed erupted beyond six times the speed of sound, clearly having used "Wind Feather"; the faster the speed, the more terrifying the power of his Spear Technique.


    "Earth! Wind!" Li Yuan invoked the Mysteries of True Intent with all his might.


    "Whoosh!"


    A dazzling Spear Light swept across hundreds of meters, surrounded by an elusive aura of True Intent Domain, further intensifying its terror as it struck the silver mirror like lightning.


    "Bang~"


    A horrific burst echoed. Contrary to Li Yuan''s expectations of lighting up eight or nine lamps... the giant silver mirror exploded on impact.


    Li Yuan himself, due to the powerful recoil, was sent flying back, feeling soreness throughout his body.


    Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh! Countless fragments of the silver mirror shot in all directions, filling the space with numerous sharp collisions.


    Immediately after, as these fragments touched the smooth ground, they melted back into the surface, vanishing without a trace.


    The testing lights simply dissipated as well.


    The space fell silent.


    "Elder?"


    Li Yuan turned his head toward the dumbstruck Flying Serpent Phantom and couldn''t help but ask, "Does this mean I''ve passed the test?"


    The Flying Serpent Phantom was silent for a long time, complexity flickering in its eyes, before it finally sighed, "Yes, being able to shatter a Second Rank Silver Mirror directly indicates that your attack power has reached level 35... Naturally, you''ve passed."


    "It''s just a pity you''re from an alien race. If you were of our bloodline, with such formidable strength at Second Rank, following the elders'' instruction, you might have had the chance to inherit the ''Chief''s'' position and take charge of the entire Mothership." The Flying Serpent Phantom sighed, "What a pity indeed."


    The Chief''s position? A thought stirred in Li Yuan''s heart.


    Before Li Yuan could ask more,


    "Qiu Zunbing, why aren''t you coming over?" the Flying Serpent Phantom looked toward the distant void.


    Li Yuan was slightly shocked. There was someone else here?


    Whish~ A multitude of light converged, forming another phantom in the void: a towering figure over three meters tall, clad in heavy armor resembling the people of Blue Star, except his head sported a single black horn. His gaze toward Li Yuan... made Li Yuan feel an inexplicable pressure.


    Li Yuan faintly felt that this horned figure seemed even more terrifying than the Flying Serpent Phantom.


    "Qiu Zunbing, you''ve seen this kid''s strength yourself," the Flying Serpent Phantom said, looking at the other, and began, "We''ve also conducted a preliminary check and it seems he''s only 20 years old."


    "As for the talent of his Star Meridian, capable of cultivating a Body Refinement Realm to such power at Second Rank... I need not say more."


    "In summary, he''s a good seedling. It''s up to you to seize the opportunity." The Flying Serpent Phantom nodded and continued, "If he weren''t lacking our racial bloodline, I would never have let him go to you."


    "Mhm, I understand," the horned towering figure nodded.


    "Kid, what''s your name?" the Flying Serpent Phantom looked at Li Yuan.


    "Li Yuan," Li Yuan said.


    "Li Yuan, this fellow with the rough-looking face is Qiu Zunbing, also an ''Alien God Envoy.'' How much fortune you can gain will depend on him," the Flying Serpent Phantom said, "I will take my leave now... If there is a chance for you to reach the core cabin in the inner layer of the Mothership, we might meet again."


    "Oh yes!"


    "I have recorded your information and granted you ''Ordinary Soldier'' privileges. Later, you can head to the ''Star Technique Armory'' and ''Weapon Armory'' to claim Star Techniques and weapons yourself."


    Whish~ The Flying Serpent Phantom disappeared instantly.


    In this space, only the horned towering figure and Li Yuan remained.


    "Elder Qiu Bingzun," Li Yuan respectfully saluted.


    "Just call me Elder Qiu," the horned towering figure loomed over Li Yuan, "Your potential is very high. Since the Mothership fell ten thousand years ago, many lives have entered the Mothership... but speaking solely of potential, you are likely the highest."


    A thought stirred in Li Yuan''s heart.


    Ten thousand years! Again, ten thousand years, the Ancient Divine Palace had also fallen into the Fierce Feather Star Realm ten thousand years ago... Could it be related to that great war between the divines a million years ago?


    "The Flying Serpent you met just now is a training officer from the exterior of the Mothership, and ordinary soldiers like you all follow his orders. He is responsible for many things on the exterior of the Mothership," Qiu Bingzun said, "As for me, I am left by the Six Great Alien Gods to take charge of the Alien God area... hence, I am known as an Alien God Envoy."


    "Alien God?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask, "Is there a difference?"


    "That starts with the origin of the Mothership," Qiu Bingzun said solemnly, "The entire Mothership is one of the civilization bases of the ''Heaven Snake clan''... The Heaven Snake is a being on par with the True Phoenix, the Divine Dragon, and other powerful entities, potentially even more so. A pure-blooded Heaven Snake, upon reaching maturity, can become divine."


    "Many pure-blooded Heaven Snakes are even among the most powerful among the divines."


    "The Heaven Snake clan?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked. So that''s how it was.


    Suddenly,


    Li Yuan thought of the Beast Emperor''s title; no wonder it was called ''Heaven Snake,'' it probably knew part of the truth.


    "Of course, pure-blooded Heaven Snakes are exceedingly rare."


    "This Mothership was left by a Heaven Snake Divine as it went to meet a grievous battle, for its bloodline descendants to take and leave." Qiu Bingzun continued slowly, "Being lascivious by nature, that Heaven Snake Divine mingled with many half-divine beings from different clans, leaving behind countless bloodlines... many clans in the Mingxu Star Realm contain a trace of the Heaven Snake bloodline."


    "Otherwise, how could they ascend to the Flying Heaven Level so easily?"


    Astonishment crossed Li Yuan''s face.


    The opponent actually knew about the Mingxu Star Realm?


    "Don''t be surprised," Qiu Bingzun continued, "With the power chamber of the Mothership damaged and suppressed by the origin of the star realm, it can no longer move, but monitoring millions of miles of the starry sky with a Mothership is effortless, let alone a small star realm? We occasionally make inquiries, and we know of all your wars with the Mingxu Beast Clan and everything that has happened in the Mingxu Star Realm for thousands of years."


    A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Yuan''s face.


    "Don''t worry,"


    "The Mingxu Beast Clan, though only containing a trace of the bloodline, is not considered a Heaven Snake descendant. However, due to that trace of the Heaven Snake bloodline, they are given some preferential treatment within the Mothership and have the hope to directly enter the inner layer," Qiu Bingzun said slowly, "As for outsiders like you, only by trying to advance through the Alien God area can you get in, which will be extremely difficult."

 Chapter 316 Target! Encounter with the Beast Emperor

    "Alien God area?"Li Yuan listened with increasing confusion, "Elder Qiu Bingzun, what exactly is the relationship between this Alien God and the Heavenly Serpent Divine?"


    "The Heavenly Serpent Divine is incomparably powerful. After all, ordinary divines cannot create such a vast Civilization Mothership. Many divines ruling over numerous planets don''t possess such a mothership¡­ Therefore, there are quite a few divines who follow under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Divine," the hulking figure with a single horn said to Li Yuan, "Since these divines are not of the same race as the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent, they are referred to by those descendants as ''Alien Gods''."


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    These so-called Alien Gods bear a relationship to the Heavenly Serpent Divine reminiscent of that between the True Phoenix Divine and the Ancient Torch Divine.


    "Back then, when the Heavenly Serpent Divine joined the battle, many Alien Gods naturally followed into war," Elder Qiu continued, "But that battle was fated to be disastrous. Both the Heavenly Serpent Divine and the other Alien Gods knew that their chances of survival were slim... hence the Mothership."


    "The Alien Gods, too, left their legacies in the ''Alien God area'' on the Mothership''s outer layer."


    "The treasures left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine are in the most central area of the inner layer," Elder Qiu said.


    Listening, Li Yuan felt the situation was quite similar to that of the Ancient Torch Divine.


    However, the Ancient Torch Divine, in the midst of the great battle, realizing defeat was imminent, hastily ordered the True Phoenix Divine to flee.


    Whereas the Heavenly Serpent Divine seemed to have prepared more adequately, even leaving behind the Civilization Mothership.


    Of course, Li Yuan knew clearly that it was difficult to determine whether the Civilization Mothership or the Ancient Divine Palace held more value.


    "What happened afterward?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking, "Why did the Civilization Mothership crash into the Mingxu Star Realm?"


    "Not sure," Elder Qiu shook his head, "Not sure?" Li Yuan was astonished.


    "It might have been attacked, or it might have encountered a cosmic storm while roaming the starry sea. Both are possible," Elder Qiu said slowly, "I was always in the Alien God area and did not know what befell the Civilization Mothership."


    "In any case, the Heavenly Serpent Divine and those Alien Gods never returned."


    "Ultimately, the Civilization Mothership crashed... Its engine room was destroyed, and most of the lifeforms inside perished, including all the powerful demigods and those at Flying Heaven Level¡­ by the time I met the training officer," Elder Qiu stated, "it had already been five thousand years."


    "Five thousand years?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    "Later on, I found out that after the crash, many compartments of the Mothership were destroyed, unable to maintain a complete cycle of life, so almost all the remaining lifeforms were exiled to the Mingxu Star Realm," Elder Qiu said, "At the time, the few lifeforms that had just been born in the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ were nearly wiped out."


    "This is the origin of the Mingxu Beast Clan, lasting till today."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, so to speak, many of the powerful clans within the Mingxu Beast Clan have the same source¡­ they aren''t exactly natives.


    At the same time, it also explained why the Mingxu Beast Clan had become so powerful despite being so isolated and fiercely internally competitive.


    "Over thousands of years."


    "The Mingxu Beast Clan slowly proliferated. Under our guidance, each generation of Flying Heaven Level would enter the Mothership," Elder Qiu said, "It''s just that, most of them are very weak."


    "Until the past thousand years."


    "We sensed that within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Origin Power grew denser and life proliferated greatly... We saw hope for beings to enter the inner layer," Elder Qiu stated.


    A thousand years?


    Li Yuan''s mind stirred; the Seven Star Civilization also rose in the last thousand years, especially in the last few centuries, with the emergence of Star Realms and the concentration of Origin Power between heaven and earth increasing continuously¡­ only then did Martial Path prosper.


    Could it be just coincidence?


    "Elder Qiu, do you really hope someone enters the inner layer?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "The training officer really hopes so. There should be secrets in the things left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine in the inner layer, but I don''t know and am not interested," Elder Qiu spoke slowly, "My responsibility is simple: to select sufficiently strong successors for the Six Great Alien Gods."


    Successors of Divine Beings? Li Yuan''s eyes lit up slightly.


    So, does that mean the ''Alien God area'' holds the legacies of six divines?


    "With such strength, and even practicing a Supreme Star Technique, your ''Seven Star Civilization'' must be strong," Elder Qiu said with a smile that wasn''t quite a smile as if seeing through Li Yuan''s thoughts, "Perhaps you are aware of the power of divines¡­ but don''t hold too high expectations."


    "The Six Great Alien Gods were not about to die when they went to war. They carried most of their treasures and weapons with them, so the legacies they left behind... are not as great as you imagine," Elder Qiu stated.


    "Any civilization would welcome more Divine Being Inheritance," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Hmm," Elder Qiu said no more, raising his hand and slightly pointing to the void.


    Whoooosh~ A vast array of light converged, instantly forming a complex holographic projection over twenty meters in height and more than eighty meters in length, resembling a warship.


    "Is this... a map?" Li Yuan immediately recognized it.


    On this complex and enormous holographic map, aside from the normal multitude of passages, there was a purple area, a vastly extensive black area¡­ and a red dot.


    Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    "This is the map of the entire Mothership."


    "The black area is the inner layer, which you currently don''t have the authority to know about," Elder Qiu stated slowly, "The purple area is the Alien God area¡­ and the red dot is your current location."


    "Memorize this map for now."


    "After committing it all to memory, let me know."


    Li Yuan immediately focused on the map, with his spiritual power surpassing level 37¡­ Even trying to memorize such a complex map of passages in a short time was quite a challenge.


    It should be noted that, according to this map, the entire Mothership was over three thousand kilometers in length.


    How massive was this warship?


    The myriad of internal passages, chambers, and so on, were extremely intricate... the entire Mothership was designed to support the basic operation of a civilization.


    Fortunately!


    Because the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent were huge in size, all the passages of the Mothership were especially large, making the actual space inside not as complicated as one might think.


    A quarter of an hour later.


    Li Yuan first closed his eyes and went through the map once in his mind to ensure there were no errors before opening his eyes again, "Elder, I''ve memorized it all."


    "Good," Elder Qiu nodded, his face revealing a mysterious smile, "Actually, there are map guides within each passage... If you forget, you can check them again yourself."


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ```


    Playing with me? So, the map was for nothing?


    "Just remember it for now, there will be benefits."


    "If you follow the map, you will be able to rush to the Alien God''s area to receive the heritage of the Six Great Alien Gods," said Qiu Bingzun. "I will wait for you in the Alien God''s area. When the time comes, how far you can go will be up to you."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded continuously.


    Seeing Qiu Bingzun ready to leave, Li Yuan hurriedly asked, "May I ask Elder, previously a member of my race came here, I wonder if you have seen him? How is he?"


    "Your authority is not sufficient; I can''t tell you," Qiu Bingzun shook his head. "If not for your great potential, I wouldn''t even provide these directions... Reach the Alien God''s area first."


    "Once your authority is high enough, you may, perhaps, control the entire mothership," said Qiu Bingzun.


    "Oh, and one more thing."


    "There are no ''enforcement teams'' within the mothership now, so none of you ordinary soldiers will be punished for killing each other... Take care of yourself."


    Whoosh~


    This towering solitary figure also vanished explosively, leaving only Li Yuan alone in this small space.


    "Killing each other? Take care of myself?" Li Yuan immediately realized, "Elder Qiu knows about our war with the Mingxu Beast Clan... Is he warning me? Could it be that a Beast Emperor is planning to ambush me?"


    Li Yuan couldn''t be completely sure and first suppressed this thought.


    "If it were a normal soldier."


    "I guess they would head to the Star Technique Treasury or the Weapon Room first," Li Yuan pondered. "But I don''t need to at all."


    Having crossed hands with other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most star techniques were mediocre... right, how could ordinary soldiers obtain powerful star techniques? Probably at most Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer Star Techniques.


    As for weapons? Top-quality Third Rank weapons at best.


    "Regardless, none of that matters much to me," Li Yuan mused. "Better to hurry and reach the Alien God''s area as soon as possible."


    Li Yuan''s goals were firstly to strive for the Heritage of the Alien God and secondly to gain access to the Inner Layer.


    According to the training officer and Elder Qiu, the benefits of the Inner Layer far surpassed those of the outer layer.


    Li Yuan had already roughly guessed this.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors, if they wanted to enter the Inner Layer, should have another place of trial... but that''s a privilege of those with the Heavenly Serpent Bloodline.


    Alien races like himself can only go to the Alien God''s area and accept the heritage of the Alien God.


    "So, Big Brother Yu and the many talents of the Myriad Demons Civilization must be heading for the Alien God''s area," Li Yuan followed the map and chose one from the dozen passages in the distance, his designated path.


    The other passages? They all led to different areas.


    Zoom!


    With a movement, Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and passed through a light screen, entering a passage.


    The passage around, still a metallic corridor.


    Li Yuan sped along on his way.


    "These passages are really wide, each one''s diameter exceeds a kilometer," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He could understand this; if there were too many passageways, it wouldn''t be convenient for descendants of the Heavenly Serpent.


    "Cultivation Room?"


    "Rest Room!"


    "Lecture Room."


    "Hundred Battles Arena."


    "Star Technique Room."


    "Energy Room." Li Yuan passed many super-large spaces along the way, trying them out... He could enter some spaces, while others required higher authority.


    And each passage was well-lit.


    Clearly, even after tens of thousands of years, this Divine Class Mothership, though fallen, still retained most of its functions... It wasn''t something a single Prime Warrior like Li Yuan could handle.


    What Li Yuan could do was only to abide by its established rules.


    Zoom!


    Li Yuan, using the Star Technique ''Wind Feather'' to move at high speed, swiftly approached the Alien God''s area.


    ... sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In a hall space with a diameter of more than five kilometers, all four sides were cast from metal.


    Two colossal beings were waiting there.


    "Thousand Eyes, do you think we might have bet on the wrong horse?" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor seemed a little impatient, speaking in a deep voice, "It''s been several days, and that Spirit Gun hasn''t shown up. Could he have taken another passage?"


    "Don''t rush."


    "There are only two passages to the Alien God''s area. As long as he came in through Heavenly Serpent Lake''s passage, no matter how he detours, this space where we are is mandatory for him to pass through," said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor calmly.


    Suddenly, in a far-off passage, the air vibrated faintly, and with the keen senses of the two great Beast Emperors, they both turned to look.


    "Boom!" A stream of earth-yellow light burst out from a distance through one of the passages, and upon sensing the presence of the two great Beast Emperors, it abruptly halted.


    "Hmm?" The two great Beast Emperors also suddenly looked up, their eyes turning cold.


    "It''s the Spirit Gun!"


    "It''s him! No doubt!" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s immense body burst out with a powerful aura, and a heaven-shaking roar echoed: "Meet your demise!"


    Boom! The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor howled as he soared upwards, charging towards Li Yuan.


    ```

 Chapter 317 Battle with the Beast Emperor! Full Force Explosion (Extra 31)

    "[Target life, life level at 35.9, killing it will provide spiritual nourishment.]""[Target life, life level at 35.9, killing it will provide spiritual nourishment.]" As soon as Li Yuan charged into this hall space, he detected two powerful auras dispersing and immediately employed his Divine Palace Inquiry.


    From life level, to their shapes, to their appearances.


    "Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor! Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor! Both Beast Emperors, damn!" Li Yuan cursed inwardly.


    There were three Beast Emperors in total, and he met two right off the bat?


    Suddenly, Li Yuan completely understood why Elder Qiu had specifically warned him earlier ''there''s no enforcement team''.


    Probably because Elder Qiu knew there were two Beast Emperors waiting here.


    In an instant, various thoughts raced through Li Yuan''s mind.


    Escape? To enter the Alien God area, one must pass through this hall passage, it''s an obligatory route.


    To enter the Alien God area, there are two passages in total.


    If he took a detour, he would have to navigate thousands of kilometers of passageway, and both Beast Emperors could easily get through this hall and block him off from another direction after flying just a few hundred kilometers.


    So, from the bottom of his heart, Li Yuan didn''t want to detour.


    Secondly!!


    "One of the reasons I entered the mothership was to slay these three Great Beast Emperors." There was a glint of battle intent in Li Yuan''s eyes: "Having finally encountered them, I must at least give it a try."


    Other Prime Warriors might fear the Beast Emperors.


    But Li Yuan asked himself, even if the three Great Beast Emperors really had overwhelming strength, killing him wouldn''t be easy... and moreover, he still held a trump card in his hands.


    Fight!


    Fight!


    "Kill!" Li Yuan watched the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roar into flight, charging at him. With but a thought, he had seen it all, and instantly his slowed speed began to rise again.


    Boom! Without hesitation, Li Yuan executed ''All Things Divine Body,'' instantly transforming into a five-meter tall figure, covered in black battle garments, his aura exploding in an instant.


    The Black Chen Spear in his hand suddenly enlarged and was grasped firmly.


    "Such a strong aura."


    "What?" Both the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor felt Li Yuan''s sudden burst of powerful aura, and their hearts were shaken.


    A Second Rank life emitting such strong aura?


    At this moment, both Beast Emperors faintly understood why so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings couldn''t stop Li Yuan by themselves.


    This was no mere Second Rank life, the aura he emitted seemed on par with many Level 33 Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    Indeed!


    After cultivating the Supreme Star Technique, Li Yuan''s physical base became comparable to level 30, and once he fully spurred the All Things Divine Body, his strength could completely match that of an untrained Level 33 powerhouse.


    The only flaw was that his Origin Power consumption was immense, and he had to finish the fight quickly.


    "Boom!"


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared, his already enormous body dispersing a layer of misty blue divine light, causing the aura he emitted to surge... which changed Li Yuan''s expression slightly.


    "Body Refining Star Technique?" Li Yuan quickly understood.


    The Star Technique that the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor cultivated turned out to be the Body Refining Star Technique, even the Chi Yen Beast King hadn''t cultivated it.


    Body Refining Star Technique demanded stringent outside resources, logically, it should be difficult to collect many treasures in the resource-scarce Mingxu Star Realm.


    But Li Yuan didn''t know.


    That the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, as the richest bearer of the ''Heavenly Serpent Bloodline'' in the Mingxu Beast Clan for thousands of years... received immense assistance from his trainers.


    "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" The pair of wings on the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor gleamed even brighter, boosting his speed to a terrifying level.


    Originally five kilometers apart, they met head-on in a sprint... colliding wildly in less than two seconds.


    Because Li Yuan''s instant flight speed increased to over seven times faster, but the flight speed of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor skyrocketed to nearly ten times faster, even quicker than Li Yuan.

    "Boom boom boom~"


    Before the clash, the domains of these two strong contenders collided first, and for a time, they were evenly matched.


    Li Yuan''s True Intention Realm was higher, drawing on more of the power of heaven and earth.


    But after the Heavenly Serpent Beast King activated the Body Refining Star Technique, his Divine Power became frighteningly strong, which when combined with his True Intention Domain, made his domain''s power even greater.


    "Boom boom boom~" The terrifying domain clash sent shocking waves in all directions.


    "Such a strong domain, indeed, his realm is much higher than mine." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor also realized this and a hint of envy emerged in his heart, "How could a Second Rank life have such a high Skill Realm."


    Rip~


    Sharp claws tore through the vast sky, their light causing the space itself to crack, screaming as it slashed towards Li Yuan.


    The so-called Flying Serpent Clan is entirely different from the ''snakes'' on Blue Star; they have wings, sharp claws, and are more akin to the legendary ''flying dragons''.


    "Kill!" Li Yuan, with soaring battle intent, did not evade. Swinging the Black Chen Spear in his hand, he struck against the howling sharp claw.


    "Clang!"


    Claw against spear collided.


    A terrible shockwave occurred, centered on the collision, instantly forming circles of dreadful shockwaves hurtling in all directions, booming against the walls of the hall, making the world seem dim for a moment.


    If they had fought in the outside world, their single collision would be enough to make the land within several kilometers collapse, and ordinary Prime Warriors caught in the radius would likely be killed by the impacts.


    However.


    This was inside a Divine Class Mothership, where the metal flooring could easily withstand attacks of a Demigod level, and it showed no signs of the aftermath of Li Yuan and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s engagement... not even a trace.


    Not even the ground trembled.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was massive, with five sharp claws on his belly; for him, claws, tail, wings could all become weapons, and he also had an absolute advantage in speed.


    "Bang!"


    "Clang!" "Clang!" "Bang!" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor attacked frantically, using various parts of his body, attacking Li Yuan repeatedly, attempting to defeat him


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan''s only weapon was a long spear, yet extremely agile, activating the mysteries of two Supreme Star Techniques, unleashing his strongest combat prowess, and easily fending off attack after attack from the Heavenly Serpent Beast King.


    "In terms of strength, he''s far stronger than I am."


    "However, the gap in skill realm is quite significant." Li Yuan and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had exchanged dozens of moves in a short time, with neither gaining a clear upper hand.


    "This Spirit Gun, how can he be so strong? How can his spear technique possess such great power?" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was equally astonished.


    He finally understood why the Chi Yen Beast King had been killed so effortlessly.


    It is known that before the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor advanced in realm, even at level 36 among the Three Great Beast Emperors, in terms of head-on combat strength, he was always the strongest. After all, he cultivated two Star Techniques, one of which was a Body Refining Star Technique.


    Naturally, after the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor advanced in realm, his power became even stronger, but he had ventured into the ''Elite Passage'' and wasn''t present here.


    However, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor did not expect that he would be unable to prevail over Li Yuan.


    He didn''t realize that Li Yuan''s strength relied on Star Technique, Skill Realm, in addition to the weapon... allowing him such formidable power.


    "Thousand Eyes, why haven''t you made a move?" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent an angry telepathic message. Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A pair of massive wings whistled through the air, attempting desperately to block Li Yuan''s path.


    Boom!


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, who had been blocking the entrance, suddenly soared into flight, its eight limbs whistling through the air.


    But what truly caught the eye were the dense ''eyes'' scattered across its body.


    In the past, these eyes were all closed.


    Now, they suddenly snapped open.


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, its existence purely by coincidence, possessed a very special innate ability¡ªThousand Eyes Assault.


    Eyes are the windows to the soul... With a thousand eyes opening simultaneously, its spiritual attack power would be greatly enhanced.


    "Suppress!" The gaze of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor landed on Li Yuan.


    "No matter how advanced his skill realm is, after all, he''s only a Second Rank Life. Having a spiritual level at Flying Heaven Level is already not bad, the likelihood of being at Flying Heaven Peak is very small... Even with a level 35 spiritual power, he should be affected." The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was confident.


    For a Sky-Flying Level Life, their usage of the soul is mostly rather crude. Concepts like soul extermination are difficult to achieve, therefore, during most confrontations between powerhouses, even if their spiritual power is strong, they can only rely on Spiritual Shock to impose some impact on their enemies.


    And the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, inherently gifted in the domain of the soul, possessed spiritual power as high as level 36. Later on, from the secret technique treasury of the Divine Class Mothership, he cultivated a secret technique focusing on concentration... combined with his innate ability, making his Spiritual Shock very terrifying.


    At least, among those at Sky-Flying Level, it would be hard to find an adversary.


    In the entire Mingxu Star Realm, over thousands of years, two of the most unique creatures born were the Chi Yen Beast King and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    "Rumble~"


    Engaged in fierce battle with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Li Yuan had just noticed the approach of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor when he was hit by a powerful Spiritual Shock sweeping toward him¡­


    "Spiritual Shock? Solidify!" Li Yuan had been cultivating for too short a time to ponder too many Spiritual Secret Techniques, after all, he didn''t have the innate gift of the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    However, he had occasionally contemplated some methods for condensing spiritual power.


    What was key, though, were Li Yuan''s immensely strong spiritual power and willpower.


    "Rumble~" The intense Spiritual Shock was like an axe ferociously chopping onto a steel plate, reverberating ceaselessly but unable to truly have an impact.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Spear light crisscrossed, slicing through the vast sky, its power undiminished in the slightest, once again blocking the attack of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    "Thousand Eyes, there''s no effect!" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent an angry telepathic message.


    "No effect?" Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor couldn''t believe it, "How is that possible! Could his spiritual will be stronger than you and Myriad Scales? How can there be such a heaven-defying Second Rank Life?"


    It was one thing for his combat strength to be strong.


    But for his spiritual will to be so strong, too?


    "Then abandon the spiritual attack," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent a hurried telepathic message. "Bind him. Don''t let him escape. His Body Refining Star Technique is so terrifying, it must consume a great deal of Origin Power... As long as we persist in this war of attrition, we can exhaust him to death."


    "Alright."


    The body of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor whirled, speeding towards the two battling powerhouses.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The eight tentacles of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, already over a hundred meters long, swelled further, lashing at Li Yuan like gigantic ropes, attempting to bind him.


    "Kill!" The murderous intent of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor surged, he attacked frenziedly, desperately entangling Li Yuan.


    "They''re all here."


    "Time to make a move! The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor is hard to kill, let''s take down Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor first!" Li Yuan''s gaze was icy cold.


    Just as the tentacles were about to touch Li Yuan, boom! boom! boom!


    A mysterious aura spread out.


    Then, Li Yuan split into nine, and in the void, nine Li Yuans appeared, each tens of meters apart, all emanating a very strong aura.


    They easily evaded the attack from Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    Seventh Layer Star Technique¡ª"Nine Shadow Clones."


    Capable of creating each shadow clone and endowing each one with a certain level of strength, like Li Yuan who cultivated to the Second Order Limit, could give each clone ''twenty percent of his main body''s strength.''


    Of course, this twenty percent did not include the weapon''s power.


    Nine Shadow Clones! All Things Divine Body! These two supreme Star Techniques worked in concert, representing Li Yuan''s most explosive display of combat might.


    "What?"


    "So many phantom bodies? How come there are so many more than when he fought Chi Yen Beast King?" Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was stunned, feeling a bit panicked.


    "Don''t panic! They''re just phantoms." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent a telepathic message, "Chi Yen mentioned that his phantoms have no attack power, they are all illusions."


    The words of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor were also somewhat self-assuring.


    He had also comprehended the True Meaning of Wind and was very aware of the difference between six phantoms and nine.


    "Kill!" Li Yuan roared furiously.


    Nine figures dashed across the sky, casting radiant streaks as they intersected and swooped down on Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor like specters.

 Chapter 318 Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)

    "Annihilate." the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared angrily.He couldn''t distinguish Li Yuan''s shadow clones from the real one, so he could only draw on his True Intent Domain in an attempt to destroy those countless clones.


    But he soon found that he couldn''t annihilate them at all.


    For one thing, Li Yuan''s shadow clones already possessed twenty percent of his real strength, which was considered very strong among those at the Flying Heaven Level; they were not something that an ordinary True Intent Domain could easily shake.


    Secondly, Li Yuan himself could also draw on his domain to protect the shadow clones.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared, his massive tail whistling through the vast sky, sweeping towards several of Li Yuan''s shadow clones.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Nine Li Yuans flickered simultaneously, like phantoms, or as if following a mysterious vibration within their own True Intent Domain, the majority of the clones easily avoided the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s furious attacks.


    "Pfft!" At the moment when one of the shadow clones was about to be hit by the enormous wings.


    Boom~ the entire clone dissipated with a bang, then quickly recondensed in another part of the void.


    "Damn it!" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was both shocked and angry. He too had comprehended the True Meaning of Wind, albeit inclined towards the ''speed'' aspect, but he had some understanding of phantom bodies.


    However, he had never thought that phantom bodies could be so agile and variable.


    In fact, if Li Yuan had merely drawn on the Shadow Domain, it would have been easily broken through since he had only just begun to form the True Meaning of Wind... he hadn''t truly condensed the True Meaning of Wind yet.


    But now, he was using the Seventh Layer Star Technique!


    The stronger the Star Technique, the more it represented a special combat method.


    "Shadow Division Technique," when used to create four phantom bodies, could display maximum efficiency, but that was just a Fifth Layers Star Technique.


    However, "Nine Great Phantom Bodies" could affect nine phantom bodies simultaneously, coupled with Li Yuan''s own two True Intents combined to form the Shadow Domain, it was enough to bring his combat power to a terrifying level.


    This was a Seventh Layers Star Technique! Many Demigods hadn''t cultivated such a powerful Star Technique.


    It wasn''t that easy to break through.


    To break through such a Star Technique, there were usually two methods: one was to use brute force, for example, a sheer overwhelming power that could sweep across the entire void in an instant, or a powerful domain suppression that could naturally discern the real body.


    The other was to break it through mastery, for instance, if one''s realm was high enough, the shadow clones and the real body activating the power of heaven and earth would have subtle differences... If one could sense this difference, one could naturally locate Li Yuan''s real body.


    Unfortunately, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was not capable of either method.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Having failed to stop Li Yuan, the Nine Great Phantom Bodies were already approaching the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor like lightning.


    "Scram!" The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor also activated his True Intent Domain, let out a furious roar, and eight tentacles whisked through the air, each striking at a different Li Yuan.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!" the nine Li Yuans shouted in unison.


    Nine long spears crossed the sky, causing nine dazzling spear lights to blaze in the void, thrusting towards the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor from different directions, attempting to inflict maximum damage on him.


    "Bang!"


    "Boom~ Bang!" In a lightning-fast exchange, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor''s huge tentacles, infused with astonishing might, batted away the long spears.


    "Something''s amiss! How are they all real?" The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor sensed something was wrong the moment they touched.


    Didn''t the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor say that phantom bodies have no attack power? Clearly, the situation was not right.


    "That one! Over there!" The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, sensing something was wrong, managed to discern where Li Yuan''s real body was, but it was already too late.


    "Pfft~" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The real Black Chen Spear, with a fierce stab, pierced a giant hole in one of the huge tentacles; dark green blood splattered, a shocking sight to see.


    If all eight tentacles were used, even in a direct fight the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was much weaker than Li Yuan, and facing Li Yuan''s real body attack, he would at most be at a disadvantage.


    But now, with only one or two tentacles to defend? He was no match for Li Yuan at all!


    "Bastard!"


    "Heaven Snake, you lied to me; his phantom bodies do have attack power!" The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor let out a mournful roar, "And these phantom bodies have very strong attack power at that, I''d estimate they''re almost as good as Lei Guang and the others."


    The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor truly panicked.


    "What? The phantom bodies are that strong? Doesn''t that mean there are the equivalent of eight top Beast Kings, plus Li Yuan''s real body attack?" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was stunned, naturally not believing that the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was lying: "The path of phantom bodies, to be so terrifying? Could he have Semi Divine Level comprehension?"


    Boom!


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared and rushed over, joining with the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, the two Monster Emperors together attacking the nine Li Yuans flickering and weaving through the void.


    "Kill!"


    Li Yuan, using "Nine Shadow Clones", had several clones flickering, restraining the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, while his real body was fully engaged in attacking the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    After the confrontation just now, Li Yuan had confirmed that among the two Beast Emperors, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had terrifying direct combat strength and even faster flight speed, making him difficult to kill.


    In contrast, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, without the Body Refining Star Technique and with much weaker defenses, seemed like a level 35 but was in fact much easier to kill.


    "Whir! Whir! Whir! Whir!" A blanket of spear lights burst forth, fast and fierce, enveloping the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    So ferocious.


    "Faster than before." The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor''s expression grew colder: "Even Wang Ling''s offensive isn''t this ferocious."


    If it had just been plain phantom bodies, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor might have occasionally taken a gamble, but with each shadow clone''s attack being very strong, he dared not disregard any spear light.


    Crucially, hidden among them was the most ferocious Li Yuan''s real body.


    "Boom~ Boom! Boom!" The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor struggled to defend himself, his eight tentacles also shining with light, significantly increasing their defense, like having eight arms, very strong in defense.


    But still!!


    He couldn''t withstand it!


    "Pfft~ Pfft!" Occasionally, his tentacles were penetrated by Li Yuan''s Black Chen Spear, and even though his Flying Heaven Peak level Origin Power could quickly regenerate... it still took time.

 Chapter 318 Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)_2

    But Li Yuan wouldn''t give him that time; the injury was naturally getting worse."How should I fight this?" Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor became increasingly panicked. Had it truly been Li Yuan with a group of Level 34 Beast Kings besieging him, he would have been less anxious because he could pinpoint Li Yuan''s real position.


    Key point!


    It was that Li Yuan''s real body was hidden among the many phantom bodies, making it impossible for him to discern... Plus, the attack power of Li Yuan''s real body was so terrifying that it was tough for the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor to defend against.


    Even occasionally, Li Yuan''s real body would attack the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, forcing the latter into a flustered state, daring not to overlook any phantom body.


    "This isn''t right."


    "Such fearsome phantom bodies must be a powerful Star Technique, at least a Sixth Layer Star Technique, possibly even a Seventh Layer Star Technique." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor found it somewhat unbelievable: "But his Divine Body is so strong, it must also be a superior Body Refining Star Technique, and then there''s his flying speed..."


    "How did he do it as a Second Rank Life?"


    "According to the trainer, isn''t a Second Rank Life supposed to cultivate a maximum of two Star Techniques?"


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor wasn''t wrong in his thinking.


    Ordinary powerhouses, or even so-called geniuses, limited by their Star Meridian talents, usually had only one or two particularly strong Star Meridians, so they would choose to strengthen certain aspects. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    For example, Lude Nef chose the "Assassination" direction, not cultivating Body Refining Star Technique, meaning he was destined to be not strong enough in head-on fights.


    While someone like Yu Jinghe, who chose head-on combat, would usually be average in aspects like the Escaping Method Star Technique and Domain.


    This was also something that Lie Feng Semi Divine had mentioned to Li Yuan before, that even if one had enough talent in the two great Laws of the universe, according to common sense, the cultivation of Star Techniques was limited, and it was difficult to fully utilize them.


    As powerful as the Ancient Torch Divine was, he definitely had the hope of acquiring three or even four Supreme Star Techniques... but it was meaningless because the capacity of his Star Meridians determined he could only cultivate two.


    All these were common sense.


    Yet, there was this aberrant individual, Li Yuan!


    Normally speaking, if Li Yuan only cultivated "Nine Shadows", without the support of Body Refining Star Technique, each Shadow Clone would be very weak and negligible... If he focused on body refining, at most he would cultivate the Shadow Division Technique.


    But he cultivated both.


    Plus the assistance of the other two Star Techniques, working in coordination, their effect was far greater than simply one plus one, truly turning every shadow clone of Li Yuan into an extremely terrifying force.


    No weaknesses!


    A single person.


    At full strength, he was actually suppressing the two Great Beast Emperors.


    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" At full burst, Li Yuan''s movement technique and spear light became unpredictably ghostly to the extreme.


    Although Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor tried his best to defend, his frontline battle strength was inherently the weakest among the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    Tentacles blocked attack after attack, sustaining injuries.


    A prolonged defense would surely fail!


    "Spurt~"


    Another spear thrust suddenly penetrated a tentacle, and following closely, two other shadow clones approached violently and thrust their spears at the same time... the terrifying joint attack completely tore apart that tentacle.


    Tentacle!


    Severed!


    "Die!" Li Yuan''s gaze turned icy, increasingly frenzied, as many phantom bodies suddenly broke free from the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor and all besieged the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    "Heaven Snake! Help me block him." Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor shouted in shock and anger, struggling to escape into the distance.


    Having lost a tentacle, if the battle continued, a second, then a third would be severed... his strength would drastically weaken.


    The strength that Li Yuan burst forth with was too terrifying.


    "Boom!"


    However, what Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor didn''t expect was that as he was fleeing, another massive blue figure was escaping even faster than him.


    "Heaven Snake!" Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor roared, unable to believe the scene unfolding before him.


    "I can''t hold him off."


    "Thousand Eyes, if I try to block him, I''ll easily be bypassed, and you''re a whole notch slower in flying speed, you''ll be chased down sooner or later..." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor whizzed by, transmitting his message: "You''re as good as dead, I''m not accompanying you to the grave, I''m taking my leave first."


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor grew frightened.


    The desperate fight between the two sides, with him trying his hardest, was barely enough to assist the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    He was worried that if the fight continued like this and once the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor perished, Li Yuan might employ some special technique that would kill him as well.


    Whoosh!


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s speed soared, rapidly leaving Li Yuan and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor far behind.


    "Thousand Eyes, die." Li Yuan, however, didn''t bother with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, but continued his attack on the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    It seemed the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had also cultivated an Escaping Method Star Technique; his speed was simply too fast, and he was intent on fleeing, Li Yuan couldn''t possibly catch up.


    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"


    Without the interference of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Li Yuan had even more strength to attack the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, whose one tentacle had not yet recovered... Their strengths increased and decreased inversely.


    "Swish~"


    The Long Spear cut through the Vast Sky, pierced through the void, directly stabbing into another tentacle, and the terrifying power exploded... that entire tentacle violently burst, severing again.


    "Aaargh!" The terrible pain drove him completely mad, but his madness couldn''t cover up the significant weakening of his strength after the tentacle was severed.


    "How is this possible!"


    "It shouldn''t be like this!"


    "I am a Beast Emperor, and I''m going to be killed by a Second Rank Life?" Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor continued to struggle crazily; he felt death closing in.


    Boom!


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor finally rushed into a corridor, and Li Yuan without hesitation followed, the Long Spear whistling, continuing the attacks.


    Tear~ Another tentacle was torn apart.


    "Hahaha!"


    "I had imagined that I would die of old age or be killed by an invading Flying Heaven powerhouse."


    "But I never expected that I, Thousand Eyes, would die here in the mothership, killed by a Second Rank Life." Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor roared, staring intently at Li Yuan: "Why are you, a Second Rank Life, so strong? Why?"

 Chapter 318 Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)_3

    ```"Die!"


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan''s eyes were icy cold, completely ignoring the telepathic message from the Thousand Eyes Beast King; nine streaks of Spear Light once again slashed across the Vast Sky, and the Thousand Eyes Beast King was powerless to block most of them... One of the streaks suddenly smashed into the head of the Thousand Eyes Beast King.


    ```


    ```


    His head had already been attacked by Li Yuan three or four times in the fierce combat that had just occurred.


    ```


    ```


    This time, it finally couldn''t withstand the assault.


    ```


    ```


    Puchi! The Spear Light penetrated the head, a terrifying force erupted, instantly extinguishing the consciousness of the Thousand Eyes Beast King... The five tentacles that had been struggling violently now rapidly fell, limp and without strength!


    ```


    ```


    Boom, boom, boom~


    ```


    ```


    The colossal body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King thunderously crashed onto the metallic ground, emitting a shaking sound.


    ```


    ```


    Soon after, the corridor became completely silent.


    ```


    ```


    "[You have killed a Third Rank being, obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment.]" A Divine Palace prompt flashed across Li Yuan''s vision.


    ```


    ```


    But Li Yuan glanced at one line on the Divine Palace panel: [Spiritual Awakening Level: 60% (Current Limit 60%)]. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    ```


    ```


    "It seems that, as before, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is temporarily collecting Spiritual Nature nourishment, waiting until my Spiritual Awakening Limit increases before it gives it all to me at once," Li Yuan thought to himself, "This is also a kind of accumulation, I suppose."


    ```


    ```


    Having killed so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings before, his Spiritual Awakening Level had long since reached 60%.


    ```


    ```


    By rights, it was already possible for the Origin Power to enter his body for the sixth time.


    ```


    ```


    Only,


    ```


    ```


    Just as when his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, more golden mist converged on the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and since Li Yuan did not choose to condense an Origin Pill, this golden mist had no use.


    ```


    ```


    "It matters not."


    ```


    ```


    "The more golden mist that accumulates, the moment I condense my Origin Pill, perhaps I''ll be able to cultivate my Origin Power to level 35 and even higher in an extremely short time," Li Yuan pondered in his mind.


    ```


    ```


    His gaze fell upon the body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King lying below.


    ```


    ```


    "He''s been killed!"


    ```


    ```


    "A Beast King! A Level 35 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast." Li Yuan also felt a surge of joy and pride.


    ```


    ```


    The strength of the Thousand Eyes Beast King seemed to be slightly inferior compared to a true Flying Heaven Peak powerhouse, but the difference was not significant... Yet, it had fallen to Li Yuan.


    ```


    ```


    "I anticipated correctly."


    ```


    ```


    "When it comes to pure attack strength, I am quite ordinary amongst those at the Flying Heaven Peak," Li Yuan inwardly said, "But once I use the ''Shadow Clone'', then even among those at the Flying Heaven Peak, I am not considered weak."


    ```


    ```


    This was the confidence that allowed Li Yuan to dare to battle the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ```


    ```


    And this was only the Second Order Limit.


    ```


    ```


    If he were to cultivate to the Third Order Limit, not only would the Shadow Clones become more stable and harder to distinguish... but the strength of each Shadow Clone would also increase by thirty percent.


    ```


    ```


    Any powerful Star Technique becomes more terrifying the further it is advanced.


    ```


    ```


    "Of the Three Great Beast Emperors, one has been killed, leaving only two," Li Yuan''s Divine Sense spread out, quickly sweeping over the body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King and collecting all the treasures.


    ```


    ```


    "To kill the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor? I need to figure out a way to increase my speed."


    ```


    ```


    "The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor? Even more mysterious, I haven''t encountered him yet," Li Yuan calculated in his mind, transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the Alien God area.


    ```


    ```


    ...


    ```


    ```


    "He''s utterly dead."


    ```


    ```


    "Thousand Eyes." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, who was fleeing at high speed through a passage, sighed inwardly: "Don''t blame me for not rescuing you, it''s that I simply couldn''t save you."


    ```


    ```


    The Three Great Beast Emperors had tokens that could sense each other''s life or death.


    ```


    ```


    "Myriad Scales, you must have sensed it too," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor thought anxiously, "Now everything depends on you. Given the strength of that Spirit Gun, he is very likely to pass the trial of the Alien God area and enter the Inner Layer... If you also fail, then my Mingxu Beast Clan is finished."


    ```


    ```


    "All will die."


    ```


    ```


    "But!"


    ```


    ```


    "I can''t put all my hope on Myriad Scales," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor thought to himself, "I need to find a place to hide first... At least make it so that the Spirit Gun can''t find me for the time being."


    ```


    ```


    Whoosh!


    ```


    ```


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor quickly departed, completely leaving the Alien God area.


    ```


    ```


    ...


    ```


    ```


    Inside the Mothership, a mysterious area of the Inner Layer.


    ```


    ```


    "Hm?"


    ```


    ```


    A twenty-five-meter exotic beast that had been lying still suddenly opened its eyes; it was covered in fiery red scales, and at first glance, it somewhat resembled the legendary Fire Kirin.


    ```

    Only, its hooves and claws were exceptionally sharp, and its eyes fierce.


    ```


    ```


    It was the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor! And the true ''number one powerhouse'' of the Mingxu Beast Clan, the only Six Star Pulse strong being.


    ```


    ```


    "Thousand Eyes is dead?"


    ```


    ```


    "Weren''t Thousand Eyes and Heavenly Serpent together? The two of them, united, and waiting in the safe Outer Layer area, how could they die?" The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was in disbelief: "Could it be, that Spirit Gun has broken through to become a Third Rank, and entered the Mothership?"


    ```


    ```


    The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was puzzled.


    ```


    ```


    "No matter,


    ```


    ```


    "I must quickly comprehend this secret technique, for there is hope to make it to the core cabin." The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor thought to himself, "If I can control even a fraction of the Mothership''s might... Unless it''s a Demigod, all can be killed."


    ```


    ```


    The deeper the understanding, the more clearly he realized the terror of the Mothership.


    ```


    ```


    At its peak, the explosive might of the Mothership was so terrifying that even Divine beings dare not withstand it directly; they must avoid its edge.


    ```


    ```


    ...


    ```


    ```


    After traveling through the metal corridor for a short while, Li Yuan finally arrived at the Alien God area, following the map''s guidance.


    ```


    ```


    Passing through the last portal of light.


    ```


    ```


    "Hum~"


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan felt an invisible force sweep over him, seemingly another scan, and the scene before his eyes changed, placing him in an incredibly vast hall.


    ```


    ```


    "What a grand hall," Li Yuan held his breath.


    ```


    ```


    At first glance, this hall, with its height possibly exceeding ten kilometers and length perhaps more than fifty kilometers, was like a miniature world on its own... compared to this hall, those he had passed previously were nothing.


    ```


    ```


    Also, an invisible force shrouded the entire hall, causing even Li Yuan to feel a series of oppressions.


    ```


    ```


    Quickly,


    ```


    ```


    Li Yuan''s attention was soon drawn to the six towering statues on either side of the vast hall.


    ```

 Chapter 318 Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)_4

    Every statue towered over a thousand feet, standing tall and broadcasting a vast presence.A ferocious flame aura.


    A nimble melody of the wind.


    A profound vibration of the earth. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire


    A sharp aura of metal.


    ...


    Six humanoid statues, all with their eyes closed tight, emitting completely distinct auras, allowing one to broadly distinguish the differences between the Six Great Alien Gods.


    "Hum~" Invisible fluctuations swept by, and a large amount of light converged, forming a formidable and bulky figure with a horn.


    "Elder Qiu," Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    "Your strength is much more formidable than I had imagined," lamented Qiu Bingzun. "A battle against two 35th level beings of the Flying Heaven level, and it ended with one dead and one fleeing."


    "Luck," Li Yuan said with a smile, though he inwardly sighed.


    His earlier analysis was indeed correct, Qiu Bingzun and that training officer probably had intimate knowledge of every part of the Mothership... but they would not intervene, instead allowing the various factions to fight amongst themselves.


    "Having come to the region of Alien Gods signifies that you are qualified to come into contact with the inheritance left by the Six Great Alien Gods," said Qiu Bingzun. "Follow me, let me introduce you to a thing or two."


    "Yes," Li Yuan promptly followed.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun landed in front of the first statue, which was radiating a powerful flame aura.


    "These six statues are left by the Six Great Alien Gods," Qiu Bingzun spoke softly.


    "Are these Alien Gods all from the Human Race?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    All around were humanoid statues.


    "Of course not, among the Six Great Alien Gods, only one is a true member of the Human Race," Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. "But in the endless river of dimensions, the Human Race''s body is the most imbued with Spiritual Nature, and they possess the highest Comprehension... Thus, deities of various races, upon becoming Divine, will often transform into humanoid forms, which are more conducive to cultivation. Usually, only when engaging in battle will they transform into their true forms."


    "Only after becoming Divine can one perfectly transform their body," Qiu Bingzun added. "These statues here all resemble the humanoid forms of these Alien Gods."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; the Human Race body indeed contained such profound mysteries.


    "Look."


    "Beneath each Divine statue, there are nine stone steles," Qiu Bingzun pointed to the steles and continued slowly: "These steles constitute the First Layer of the trial. Within the steles, the cultivation insights of these Divine beings are contained... What you must do is to comprehend the steles."


    "The more you comprehend, the more aid you will have in obtaining the Divine Being Inheritance."


    "There is no time limit on your comprehension."


    "When you feel that your comprehension is profound enough... you may proceed along the passage behind the stele to accept the final test... The passage will lead to the site of Divine Being Inheritance," Qiu Bingzun said. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but look towards the passage beneath the towering statue. It wasn''t very big, but it seemed extremely mysterious.


    He had no idea what lay in the depths, nor where it led.


    "You may freely comprehend any of the steles left by the Six Great Alien Gods, but in the end, you can only choose one Alien God''s heritage site to undertake. Remember, you only have one chance. Whether you can gain great advantages depends on yourself," Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan and said.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, but then couldn''t resist asking, "Elder, to gain the benefits of the inheritance, must one fully understand all nine steles?"


    "Naturally, that is not the case."


    "Third Order Life beings must fully grasp every stele to have a chance at the inheritance," Qiu Bingzun said. "For Second Rank Life, comprehending just the first six steles can offer a good chance."


    "The first six steles?" Li Yuan''s interest was piqued, that shouldn''t be too difficult.


    "Alright," he replied.


    "That which I needed to tell you, I have said," Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. "From now on, it''s up to you."


    "Go and choose the Alien God steles that best suit your understanding."

 Chapter 319 The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization

    "Oh right, I have to remind you first," Elder Qiu chuckled, "If you want to enter the inner layer of the mothership, you must at least become the Direct Disciple of a certain Alien God.""Inner Sect Disciple?" Li Yuan pondered.


    "Each Alien God has left behind three different levels of inheritance: Direct Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, and Disciple by name... Among them, becoming a Direct Disciple or an Inner Sect Disciple isn''t solely about strength but about your choice," Elder Qiu explained.


    "Choice?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "With gains come losses. The many Alien Gods left behind their heritage with the thought of passing on their teachings as well as the commands of the Heavenly Serpent Divine... but they all have their own demands," Elder Qiu said with a smile, "With your talent, if you choose the right path, there is hope for you to become a Direct Disciple, but you have to make a choice."


    "If you can''t do it, it''s best not to agree, otherwise it can easily affect your future."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; he could comprehend the reasoning.


    One must act for their own gain or be obliterated by heaven and earth. Even the Ancient Torch Divine had something to request when leaving behind an inheritance, it''s just that his own strength was still weak, and Gu You hadn''t told him till now.


    "Also," Elder Qiu continued with a smile, "I remind you once more, according to the rules, fighting is forbidden anywhere within the mothership, especially within the Alien Gods'' domains and the inner layer areas. If the enforcement squad were still present, any outbreak of battle would likely result in the combatants being killed on the spot by the enforcement squad."


    "It''s just a pity, the enforcement squad left long ago..." Elder Qiu shook his head, and his figure thunderously dissipated.


    Li Yuan stood there, a trace of astonishment on his face.


    "What does Elder Qiu mean?" Li Yuan felt a bit puzzled, "Last time he warned me, and then I immediately encountered two Great Beast Emperors and a fight broke out."


    "He warned me again."


    "Could it be that other potentates are converging here?" A sliver of murderous intent flickered across Li Yuan''s eyes, "Is it the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor from the Three Great Beast Emperors? Or those geniuses from the Myriad Demons Civilization?"


    Only these individuals had entered the mothership.


    "No matter."


    "At present, it''s unclear whether others have entered the inner layer or not," Li Yuan thought to himself, "The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor has never appeared; it''s very possible that he entered the inner layer through the ''Heavenly Serpent Bloodline'' trial."


    "And the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization, I''ve never encountered them. Have they all entered the inner layer?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    "No matter."


    "In any case, according to Elder Qiu, you can actually fight anywhere within the entire mothership," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had truly stepped beneath the first Alien God statue. The statue was incredibly lifelike, its eyes cold, seemingly filled with anger, and it radiated an endless ferocious aura.


    The Vein of Fire!


    This Alien God clearly became divine through the Law of Fire!


    "Stone wall," Li Yuan''s gaze fell upon the nine stone walls, on which were engraved marks resembling flames.


    The nine stone walls, each with a different flame carved into it, emitted unique mysterious vibrations...


    Li Yuan contemplated; through the process of comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind, as one principle leads to all methods, he had inadvertently also come to understand other mysteries of heaven and earth, such as the Mysteries of Water and Metal, both of which he had already crossed the Fifth Stage threshold... yet for the Mystery of Fire and Thunder, he hadn''t even reached 1% of the Fifth Stage.


    "The Mystery of Fire is too profound," Li Yuan shook his head, able to sense the mystery of the nine great walls with his realm.


    But he just didn''t understand it.


    ...Time passed, and Li Yuan had preliminarily observed all six Alien God statues!


    During the observation process, Li Yuan discovered that each of the Six Great Alien Gods had become divine through one of the six Laws of Fire, Wind, Earth, Metal, Thunder, and Water, and the stone walls they left behind naturally contained the respective mysteries of these laws.


    "If I go on to forcefully comprehend the Law of Fire or Metal, I''m afraid I won''t even be able to become the Disciple by name of an Alien God," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Everyone has their strengths.


    His strongest was still the Earth Vein, followed by the Wind Vein... in other areas, after all, he wasn''t skilled and expending ten times the effort, he feared he would only gain a fraction of the results.


    "I''ll just choose from among the Earth and Wind Alien Gods," Li Yuan approached the statue of the Earth System Alien God.


    This was an old man with a profound and simple demeanor, kind-eyed and benevolent, with a compassionate appearance.


    Standing under this statue made Li Yuan feel very warm.


    "Stone wall," Li Yuan silently resonated with the first wall, which was engraved with a vast and heavy land.


    "The great land is heavy." Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan, who had already gained keen insights into the True Meaning of Earth, and solely relying on the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth, could already rival Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses... one could imagine how fast his progress had been.


    In just a quarter of an hour, Li Yuan had completely understood the mystery held within the first stone wall.


    "Coalesce!" With a thought from Li Yuan, the power of heaven and earth gathered, forming a corresponding pattern in front of the first stone wall, emanating identical mysterious vibrations.


    "The second stone wall," Li Yuan looked towards the next stone wall, which, like the first, was engraved with a vast expanse of land, only this time there was a seed within it.


    On the third stone wall, the seed had sprouted.


    On the fourth stone wall, the sprouted seed broke through the ground amidst the vast lands.


    The fifth stone wall...


    ...


    In three days'' time, Li Yuan was constantly immersed in contemplating the nine stone walls left by the Earth System Alien God, and he had understood up to the sixth stone wall in one go... then he was halted by the seventh stone wall.


    According to Elder Qiu''s guidance, only by understanding six stone walls, one could hope to obtain the Heritage of the Alien God.


    Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire


    But Li Yuan himself hesitated.


    "The path is not right."


    "The path pursued by this Earth System Alien God is different from mine," Li Yuan gradually realized this point from the nine stone walls: "This Alien God''s contemplation was on the aspect of ''nurturing''; the vast land is indeed expansive and nurtures all things, providing sustenance to them."

 Chapter 319 The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_2

    ```"But what I pursue, my True Meaning of Earth Mastery, is merely to bear all things, to embrace all things," Li Yuan reflected thoughtfully.


    There is no right path.


    Every Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything. Starting from the Law of Earth, one can nurture all things, and the same goes for the Laws of Water and Wood... there is only the path that best suits oneself.


    "What I pursue."


    "Is to bear, with the vastness of Earth, to carry the Rhythm of Wind, to form a space of absolute control, and even ultimately touch upon the Mysteries of Space," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    This was the cultivation path Li Yuan had long since conceived.


    The boundlessness of heaven and earth, the carefree and unrestrained nature of the wind, is also what he genuinely liked.


    And nurturing all things, the evolution of life? That too is an ultimate path, but at least for now, it is not Li Yuan''s pursuit.


    "The path is decided by the heart."


    "As of now, I haven''t even entered the threshold of the vast Law of the Great Dao, biting off more than I can chew," Li Yuan mused, "This path of the Earth System Divine does not agree with me; there''s no need to force it."


    If Li Yuan had already delved deep and far into the Law of Earth, he might be able to take some reference from it.


    But where is Li Yuan now in terms of his realm?


    ...


    "Wind System Alien God," Li Yuan arrived at another Alien God statue.


    The same nine stone walls.


    In the first stone wall, what was engraved was a figure, with eyes tightly closed, standing alone in the void, exuding a trace of ethereal and invisible charm.


    "The fluctuation of wind?" Li Yuan whispered to himself, sensing carefully.


    Gradually, a smile appeared on Li Yuan''s face, "As expected, just like the insights I had before, this Wind System Alien God also pursues the direction of Phantom Body."


    During his prior cursory contemplation of the paths of the Six Great Alien Gods, Li Yuan had a rough understanding of each, but his heart was more inclined towards the Earth System Alien God, as that was where he was most confident.


    But now it seemed that the path of this Wind System Alien God was more suitable for Li Yuan.


    "The profundity contained in this stone wall seems to bear some resemblance to the Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram," Li Yuan''s eyes slightly lit up.


    The Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram, bestowed by Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, contained over a thousand strands of Mystery, seemingly chaotic, yet unified. Over the past few months, Li Yuan had been pondering its Mysteries.


    But those mysterious fluctuations were still too complex for Li Yuan at his current realm.


    Yet looking at these stone walls, Li Yuan quickly found commonalities between them.


    "This first stone wall might correspond to five or six strands of Mystery in the Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram... but it has been perfectly combined," Li Yuan''s eyes brightened.


    As if one offered an outline.


    The other provided practical cases for insight... they could be combined for contemplation.


    "Hahaha."


    "This is indeed my opportunity," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile and delved into contemplation.


    The first stone wall depicted one figure.


    The second stone wall had two figures. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The third stone wall displayed four figures.


    ...Gradually, Li Yuan also discovered that the nine stone walls left by the Wind System Alien God had a connection with the "Nine Shadow Clones," which was actually a set of extremely powerful battle Methods.


    "Star Technique is a way to utilize the Star Meridian to brand Starmarks, greatly enhancing the ability to wield the Mystery of the heaven and earth," Li Yuan thought to himself, "If one advances to a profound level, even without practicing Star Technique, one can exert the power of Low-Level Star Technique."


    Like the Demigods.


    Using Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique, their strength is hardly improved, and that''s why.


    ...In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days had passed.


    Time had already entered the month of October.


    The various forces that entered the Mingxu Star Realm were already doubtful about the so-called ''Divine Land.''


    But whether it was the Seven Star Civilization, Myriad Demons Civilization, or Tianliang Civilization, they could only verify the life and death of the entrants, without the ability to communicate... unclear of the specifics. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire


    So much time had passed.


    People like Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe, Xue Yan, and Fu Yuan, who were the top talents dispatched by their respective civilizations, entered and had no news for so long.


    These civilizations dared not casually send any more successors.


    Inside the Mothership, in the Alien God area.


    Below one of the Wind System Alien God statues, a black-clad figure was seated cross-legged.


    Suddenly.


    "That''s it," Li Yuan, who had been meditating and contemplating, following the mysterious fluctuations of the wind, finally caught that fleeting inspiration.


    An invisible fluctuation spread out.


    Hum~hum~hum~ silently, around Li Yuan, figures appeared out of thin air, some standing, others seated, and some standing in the distance with a silly grin.


    A total of nine figures, each with a different posture.


    "The Mystery of Wind has finally completed its Transformation into the True Meaning of Wind," Li Yuan''s lips curled into a subtle smile.


    In early July, when he bid farewell to his teacher, he only managed to condense the embryonic form of True Intent, at the level of 99% of the Fifth Stage.


    And now, just three months later, he successfully stepped into the Sixth Stage, truly condensing True Intent.


    This was an astoundingly rapid pace.


    People like Bertman, Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef, it took at least a year or more for them to make this step.


    "My talent in the Wind Law, after all, isn''t as high as in the Law of Earth," Li Yuan reflected inwardly.


    The breakthrough came so quickly.


    It was partly due to various fortuitous enhancements, but more importantly, in these past few months, Li Yuan had gone through life-and-death battles time and time again... Each battle was a priceless trial.


    Until he arrived at the Alien God area and saw the nine stone walls of the Wind System Alien God. Borrowing inspiration from them, he made the leap forward in one fell swoop.


    "Nine Great Phantom Bodies," with a thought from Li Yuan, the nine phantom bodies simultaneously sprang into action.


    Bear in mind, Li Yuan hadn''t used any Star Technique; these were formed from the Mystery of True Intent.


    It represented a new height Li Yuan had reached in the "Phantom Body" direction.


    ```

 Chapter 319 The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_3

    "Simply triggering the Nine Great Phantom Bodies doesn''t greatly amplify strength," Li Yuan pondered silently. "The Mysteries of True Intent is too weak, and the attacking power of the Phantom Body is far from the Flying Heaven Level... If I were to fight the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I''m afraid the Phantom Body would be destroyed by his attacks."But!!


    With the current grasp of the Mysteries of True Intent, when Li Yuan applied "Nine Shadow Clones," their power would soar dramatically... Previously, the Nine Shadow Clones were forced, occasionally being hit by the enemy; that was because Li Yuan''s understanding of The Mystery of Wind wasn''t deep enough.


    But now, as Li Yuan''s Skill Realm advanced further, the emergence of the Nine Shadow Clones became even more eerily unpredictable.


    "The power of Star Technique is stronger."

    "My Spear Technique is also significantly stronger than before," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    Whoosh!


    A Black Chen Spear appeared in his hand; taking a step forward, the nine phantom bodies moved simultaneously, and as the long spear silently thrust forward, it had already crossed a kilometer of void.


    Not a sound was heard.


    Only an obscure trail of a spear mark remained in the void, which took a long time to fully dissipate.


    "The speed has increased."


    "The attacking power, increased by about twenty percent."


    "This is still because the integration of my two great Mysteries of True Intent isn''t thorough enough," Li Yuan thought silently. "Once they are perfectly combined, the power of my Spear Technique should increase even more."


    Thinking this.


    Li Yuan''s eyes landed on the Divine Palace panel before him:


    [Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank), True Meaning of Wind (Sixth Stage Initial Rank)...]


    Now, Li Yuan could truly be considered to have congealed two great Mysteries of True Intent.


    "Continue to work hard."


    "If I follow this path, once each of the two great Mysteries of True Intent breaks through another step and then combine, my Spear Technique should be comparable to the Demigod Level," Li Yuan anticipated eagerly.


    If he were to comprehend a single True Intent to reach the Sixth Stage Perfection Level, how difficult that would be.


    But once different True Intents combine, once on the right path, progress comes much quicker.


    ...


    Li Yuan didn''t waste too much time after initially combining the breakthroughs of the two great Mysteries of True Intent.


    He continued to contemplate under the Alien God statue.


    Fully congealing the True Meaning of Wind, Li Yuan''s speed of understanding and deducing the nine stone pillars considerably accelerated.


    Just two days later.


    "I''ve finally understood the sixth stone pillar," Li Yuan said, observing the nine figures on the sixth stone pillar.


    If the Mysteries of True Intent hadn''t broken through, he likely wouldn''t have understood it so quickly.


    "Three more stone pillars," Li Yuan''s eyes moved to the last three stone pillars.


    The seventh stone pillar featured sixty-four figures.


    The eighth stone pillar featured one hundred figures.


    And the ninth stone pillar was densely packed with six hundred figures... The further one went with the stone pillars, the more staggeringly the difficulty increased.


    "To fully comprehend the nine stone pillars, Sixth Stage Perfection might not be enough," Li Yuan secretly sighed. "To understand the six stone pillars, Sixth Stage Initial Rank might be hopeful."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but recall Qiu Bingzun''s words.


    Second Rank to arrive, hopeful to understand the six stone pillars; if at Third Order Life, should aim to comprehend the nine stone pillars... Clearly, the requirements seemed higher for Third Order Life.


    "Continue and try to comprehend the seventh stone pillar," Li Yuan said patiently. "I''ve only just reached the baseline; I''ll do my best to improve my skill level."


    Li Yuan continued to ponder over the seventh stone pillar.


    In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.


    Suddenly.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, felt something and abruptly turned his head toward a nearby place.


    Boom~


    The initially flat metallic ground at the center of the Alien God area suddenly began to tremble violently; immediately afterward, the metallic ground split open, revealing a huge hole.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Four figures sprang out from the hole.


    "What a pity."


    "Rolbis, you were just a bit short of winning."


    "Ah!"


    "It''s still Xue Yan''s power that''s formidable, breaking through directly and entering the Inner Layer. We''ve been trapped in this trial area for so long, yet still failed to succeed."


    "Stop it, I waited for you guys for more than ten days at the first layer, and you all ended up failing," the four chattered among themselves.


    But abruptly, their voices dwindled; they were shocked to see a figure in black not far off.


    A figure dressed in black, even the facial features completely obscured, was standing under that great Wind System Alien God statue looking at them.


    Rolbis, a handsome and elegant young man, had a trace of wariness in his eyes, "Who are you?"


    To their senses, the man in black seemed to be only of Second Rank, but his life force felt exceptionally strong.


    "Fellows, you must all be talents from the Myriad Demons Civilization, right?" Li Yuan''s voice was calm. "This one should be Rolbis."


    "This one, should be Yu Fu."


    "This one should be Jin Liang''s Direct Disciple ''Fu Yuan,'' right?"


    "And you? I don''t recognize you, but to be here, you must have been a Prime Warrior Saint Heir from the Tianliang Civilization previously," Li Yuan''s gaze swept over them, pointing out their identities one by one.


    The moment these four appeared.


    Li Yuan had already executed Divine Palace Inquiry, confirming their life levels¡ª29.9 Level, 29.9 Level, 30.8 Level, 30.7 Level.

    It should be noted that Li Yuan had long obtained extensive data on the talents of the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization, especially the very top ones, quickly identifying them by their appearance.


    Rolbis and Lu Lei, hailing from the Myriad Demons Civilization, were the super geniuses Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai had warned about before.


    Both of their strengths were no lesser than Yu Jinghe or Lude Nef.


    Fu Yuan was regarded as the most formidable talent of this era in the Tianliang Civilization.


    As for Yu Fu and the last bald young man, Li Yuan didn''t pay them much attention.

 Chapter 319 The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_4

    These two people have already broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors, so it''s almost certain that they cannot be the most top-tier geniuses.Just like the Seven Star Civilization, they would absolutely regret letting a genius like Yu Jinghe break through within Mingxu Star Realm.


    "Xue Yan and Lu Lei?" Li Yuan said, "I haven''t seen them along the way. Have they both entered the Inner Layer?"


    Xue Yan was the genius from Myriad Demons Civilization Li Yuan was warned about as having the strongest strength before he entered the Mothership''s Inner Layer. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Rumble~ The split cavern had been slowly closing, but Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the other two, hearing Li Yuan single out their identities one by one, were already shaking with shock.


    "Spirit Gun?" Yu Fu stared at Li Yuan, whose outfit was somewhat different from before.


    "Smart." Li Yuan nodded.


    "You are the Spirit Gun?" A glint of curiosity shone in Rolbis''s eyes as he stared at Li Yuan, "You''re facing the four of us alone, and you''re not the least bit afraid?"


    "Spirit Gun?"


    The youth in black, Fu Yuan, also stared at Li Yuan: "I''ve heard from the teacher that your strength is extremely strong, seemingly already close to level 34."


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four genius powerhouses realized Li Yuan''s identity and immediately scattered, surrounding him in a semi-encirclement and trapping Li Yuan in the center as if they were afraid he would escape.


    "Spirit Gun."


    "Haha, Xue Yan said before that he wanted to deal with you after leaving the Mothership," Rolbis laughed, "I didn''t expect we''d run into you so soon. Perhaps one-on-one you might be stronger than any of us, but there are four of us."


    "Should kill." Yu Fu glared at Li Yuan.


    "Surrounding me?" Li Yuan was first stunned, then a smile emerged, "Good, then come and kill me."


    Li Yuan had realized that the four geniuses from Tianliang Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization knew nothing about his battle where he killed hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    "Take action!"


    "No more talking to him."


    "Kill!"


    "Only a fight." Rolbis, Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and the bald youth all moved at once, turning into four terrifying streaks of light, attacking Li Yuan from all four directions simultaneously.


    Their speed was incredibly fast, reaching over triple the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.


    Rolbis was the fastest, his speed surging to nearly quintuple the speed of sound.


    The four of them knew Li Yuan was exceedingly strong, but meeting on a narrow path, they had no reason to retreat.


    And all four were quite confident, especially Rolbis.


    "Boom!" Rolbis''s body instantly transformed into five meters tall, his body shrouded in a cyan glow, holding a terrifying Battle Axe in his hand... The formerly elegant youth now resembled a War God.


    "Seventh Layers Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong life aura?" A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes.


    He was starting to understand why Rolbis and the others were so confident.


    "Spirit Gun." With an angry shout from Rolbis, before he arrived, the wild life force had already begun to spread out.


    Whoosh!


    A massive axe glow tore through hundreds of meters of the Vast Sky, howling as it split towards Li Yuan.


    "Powerful!"


    "Rolbis, worthy of being someone who is only a step away from the Inner Layer."


    "His strength is definitely comparable to level 33." Expectation gleamed in the eyes of Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and the bald youth.


    But then.


    "Not good!" Fu Yuan, also flying at high speed, changed his expression slightly, "Not good! Rolbis, run!!"


    Just as Rolbis swung down his massive Battle Axe ferociously.


    Li Yuan, who had been waiting in place, finally moved; his body also inflated to five meters tall in an instant.


    A violent and powerful aura surged to the heavens.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan took a step forward, and with full force using "Wind Feather," his speed instantly surged to over eight times the speed of sound, like a terrifying meteor streaking across the sky.


    He charged straight into Rolbis''s True Intent Domain, which barely affected him at all.


    "What? This speed?" Rolbis''s face also greatly changed, as he realized something was off.


    But by then it was already too late to retreat.


    Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire


    "Whoosh!" A black Long Spear swept across the sky.


    "Peng~"


    The Long Spear and Battle Axe collided, a terrifying force transmitted through the weapons, instantly knocking Rolbis senseless, as his whole body was blasted away, and the Battle Axe in his hands flew out of his grasp.


    "Whoosh!"


    A sweep of the spear across the sky, and Rolbis, still mid-flight, instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.


    Rolbis, dead!


    "Now there''s only the three of you left." Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the other three, who were shocked beyond belief, and he murmured softly, "Falling behind in intelligence can be deadly!"

 Chapter 321 Laws Oath!

    The hall''s arena was vast.


    But with these hundreds of Silver Armored Warriors surpassing the speed of sound as they ran, they had ferociously reached Li Yuan''s front in an extremely short amount of time.


    Separated by several hundred meters, with Li Yuan''s eyesight, he could even clearly see the minute pores on the faces of these Silver Armored Warriors... aside from the faint trembling of the earth.


    He couldn''t hear any breathing.


    "Suppress!"


    Upon a thought from Li Yuan, his body instantly transformed into five meters tall, followed by subtle air currents that appeared out of nowhere within a hundred meters radius, combining the Mysteries of True Intent of both, after infusing them with Flying Heaven Level Origin Power, the air currents were like a myriad of blades. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Puchi~" "Pu!" Countless air currents, containing astonishing killing intent, crazily sliced through each Silver Armored Warrior, resulting in some having their arms cut off, bodies torn apart, or heads severed.


    They fell one after another!


    Then, these Silver Armored Warriors'' bodies turned into numerous silver liquids, re-merging into the ground.


    However.


    At the edge of the arena, more silver liquid rose up, recondensing into Silver Armored Warriors and then once again, with howling intensity, charged towards Li Yuan.


    They were like wave after wave, endlessly assaulting Li Yuan.


    "These Silver Armored Warriors, all have the strength of high-level Origin Martial Artists," Li Yuan thought to himself, "They probably can''t even break through my True Intent Domain."


    In the blink of an eye, over five hundred Silver Armored Warriors had been swept away by Li Yuan.


    Suddenly.


    "Second Stratum!" A cold voice rang in Li Yuan''s mind, belonging to Qiu Bingzun.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The number of Silver Armored Warriors appearing at the edge of the arena had increased, and their running speed was noticeably faster.


    "Has their strength been generally raised, approaching that of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?" Li Yuan frowned.


    However, the increase in strength didn''t make much difference; Li Yuan, relying on his True Intent Domain, was still able to sweep through them, not a single Silver Armored Warrior could get within fifty meters of him.


    "Third Stratum Trial," the cold voice rang out once more.


    "Puchi!" "His~" The might of the True Intent Domain remained astonishing, able to slaughter each newly formed Silver Armored Warrior, but it was obviously much more strenuous than before.


    "If it were a regular Flying Heaven Martial Artist facing the attack of so many Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, they would either die or get skinned alive," Li Yuan silently said to himself.


    But still, none could approach Li Yuan.


    The last Silver Armored Warrior charged to about twenty meters from Li Yuan, and was still shredded by the True Intent Domain.


    By this time, Li Yuan hadn''t even moved his body, let alone used his weapon.


    "Fourth Stratum Trial!"


    With the Fourth Stratum''s Silver Armored Warriors, their strength suddenly surged greatly, the numerous blade-like air currents creating only small wounds on them.


    "Flying Heaven Level bodies?" A hint of coldness flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes, as a weapon emerged in his hand.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan finally made his move, wielding the Black Chen Spear and sweeping it towards the Silver Armored Warriors with a howling attack.


    "Pu!" "Peng!" "Peng!" These Silver Armored Warriors, their killing intent sky-high, surged towards Li Yuan like a tide and were immediately torn to shreds as streaks of Spear Light flashed by.


    One sweep of the spear, and a swath of Silver Armored Warriors fell.


    "Too weak," Li Yuan couldn''t help but shake his head, his two strongest Star Techniques had not even been used, since he had to conserve Origin Power; right now, it was purely the Black Chen Spear and skill that erupted.


    Without deploying the Star Techniques, the might of Li Yuan''s Spear Technique was comparable to that of the 33rd Rank.


    The Fifth Stratum Trial!


    The Sixth Stratum Trial... Li Yuan was slaughtering at an astonishing speed, not giving these Silver Armored Warriors any chance to pile up.


    ...


    Deep within the Mothership, in the far inner regions.


    Here was a huge light screen projection, displaying the scene of Li Yuan undergoing the Ten Layers Trial.


    "Master, what do you think of him?" the colossal black Flying Serpent Phantom inquired respectfully: "His speed of slaughter is quite astonishing, having killed up to the Sixth Stratum without even using the Body Refining Star Technique... he certainly has a chance of breaking through all ten trials."


    "The odds are slim," a gentle voice responded: "If he had sufficient Origin Power, he would definitely make it through."


    "But after all, he is an Origin Martial Artist, and there is a limit to his storage of Origin Power. The stronger the Star Technique, the more Origin Power is consumed in battle... Everything has its trade-offs."


    "However, getting past the Ninth Layer should not be difficult," the gentle voice continued: "Then, in the Inner Layer, spending some more time, he will be able to come and see me."


    "At just 20 years old, this Seven Star Civilization shouldn''t be particularly strong, but the way he''s combined the Earth and Wind Mysteries of True Intent to this extent... is very monstrous." Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire


    "It''s amazing that despite being only Second Rank, he can cultivate so many powerful Star Techniques; it must be an extraordinary Body Refinement Realm, indicating that his Star Meridian talent is also extremely high, with astonishing potential... Overall, his talent is so great that not a single person from my youth or among my six Divine followers could catch up with him," the gentle voice added.


    "Congratulations, Master, you''ve finally waited for the right candidate," the black Flying Serpent Phantom quickly said with respect.


    "No congratulations yet," came the reply.


    "No matter how monstrous he is, it all depends on his final choice," the gentle voice slowly said: "If he is unwilling, the more monstrous he is, the greater the threat to me."


    "Your subordinate understands," came the affirmation.


    "If he makes the wrong choice, then, it would be best to eliminate him sooner rather than later," the black Flying Serpent Phantom said consecutively.


    "Oh, the Eighth Stratum Trial has begun," it remarked.


    ...


    In the Alien God area, the domain of trials.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" "Boom!" Those Silver Warriors howled as they emanated a very strong aura, even beginning to invoke the powers of heaven and earth.


    Powerful!


    Each Silver Warrior possessed the fighting power of the Flying Heaven Level, and while Li Yuan''s True Intent Domain surged, it was hardly inflicting much damage on them, serving only to bind and slow their movements, making it difficult for them to encircle him.

 Chapter 322 Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)

    To obtain what he desired, a price had to be paid? Li Yuan pondered deeply.


    The Heavenly Serpent Divine had paid such a great price, especially by bringing this mothership, there must be some scheming involved.


    There''s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, especially from those who are neither family nor friends.


    "To go or not to go?" A flicker of hesitation crossed Li Yuan''s mind.


    He quickly weighed his options.


    Having barely made it through the ten trials of the Heavenly Serpent Divine, when push came to shove, how could he just give up?


    If the Heavenly Serpent Divine truly wanted to force him to do something, he was already inside the mothership, and just by the means the other party had shown, he was completely powerless to resist, there was no need to offer him a choice.


    This meant that whatever the Heavenly Serpent Divine had left behind wasn''t that malicious, at least it wasn''t purely malicious.


    The most critical point was that Xue Yan and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor... both had already entered the inner layer, and might enter the core area at any moment.


    Especially Xue Yan. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    According to Elder Qiu''s words just now, his level of skill should have already reached ''Sixth Stage High Rank'', which was a terrifying level of skill for a Prime Warrior, so it was no wonder he could become a disciple of the Divine.


    Such a genius, letting him attempt the challenge... Li Yuan had a feeling that the Heavenly Serpent Divine might be no weaker than the Ancient Torch Divine, and could even be stronger.


    Such a treasure left by a powerful Divine Being.


    It could completely change the power dynamics between different civilizations.


    If it fell into the hands of the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Seven Star Civilization would face even greater pressure in the future.


    "There''s danger, but it''s also an opportunity."


    "I received the inheritance of the Ancient Torch Divine, which allowed me to make rapid progress and grow quickly," Li Yuan thought to himself, "If I can get a share of the Heavenly Serpent Divine''s treasure, it will help me grow even faster."


    The path of cultivation should be steady above all.


    Therefore, before venturing out into the Star Realms, Li Yuan always strove to reach the peak of his strength.


    But when it''s time to fight, you have to fight.


    "Thank you for the reminder, Elder Xie Qiu." Having made up his mind, Li Yuan said respectfully, "If there''s no difference between going sooner or later, then I might as well go now."


    "Fine."


    "You chose this path yourself," Elder Qiu revealed a slight smile, "I have warned you several times... in the future, don''t come blaming me." S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before Li Yuan could speak again.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Elder Qiu''s hand, an invisible force emerged out of thin air, directly enveloping Li Yuan.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan felt a thunderous roar in his head, swept by a terrifying force he couldn''t resist; even with his Spiritual Will, he couldn''t block this force''s invasion... In an instant, he fell into unconsciousness.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan''s body vanished into thin air.


    Only the towering Phantom with a single horn remained in the hall.


    "The first plan has failed."


    "Originally, the plan was to temporarily choose Xue Yan, who was barely acceptable as a replacement." Elder Qiu murmured to himself, "I didn''t expect to be directly presented with such an extraordinary genius, even in the vast Divine Realm, geniuses like this are very rare."


    "We can start on the second plan."


    "It seems as if the heavens themselves are blessing our Heavenly Serpent clan," Elder Qiu thought to himself, "Spirit Gun? Li Yuan? I hope, with my help, you won''t disappoint me."


    "Go and grasp that slim hope."


    ...


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, Bright Moon Base.


    While Li Yuan was venturing inside the mothership.


    Tavares, Jiang Zai, Luo Chan, and the others had already retreated back to Bright Moon Base.


    As time passed day by day, with no news coming from the mothership, many True Intent Martial Artists were leaving... After all, these Martial Artists each had their own cultivation plans and couldn''t wait forever in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Of course, under the higher-ups'' coordination, Bright Moon Base still maintained formidable combat strength.


    Inside one of the Fourth-order Battleships, within a super-large conference room, on one side, two special instruments were placed, exuding an invisible force, and two blood-red Crystal Stones floated in the middle, supported by the instruments.


    These were Life Crystals, representing the Marks of life for Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan respectively.


    The state of the Life Crystals could be used to judge their life and death.


    In this conference room, Martial Artists would take turns guarding the Life Crystals, watching over them at all times.


    Suddenly.


    One of the blood-red Crystal Stones suddenly erupted in a burst of light, the brilliance was so intense that it almost covered the entire super-large conference room, and then as the light receded, it quickly dimmed, turning the Crystal Stone completely ''white''.


    "What?"


    "This!" The two Martial Artists guarding that day, seeing this scene, were utterly shocked.


    They looked at each other with horror in their eyes, "It''s Spirit Gun''s Life Crystal."


    "The Life Crystal has dimmed!"


    Without any hesitation, the two Martial Artists immediately initiated emergency communication, and soon Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan rushed over.


    The three of them were the current leaders at Bright Moon Base.


    When they saw the dimmed Life Crystal, their hearts trembled, fully aware of what it meant.


    A dimmed Life Crystal indicated the death of its host.


    "Spirit Gun, dead? Fallen in the Divine Land?" Tavares''s heart shook, "How is that possible, how could the powerful Spirit Gun die?"


    "Wasn''t the Demigod just recently messaging that Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was likely killed by Spirit Gun?" Tavares couldn''t believe his eyes.


    In his heart, even the Three Great Beast Emperors together might not be able to kill Li Yuan.


    Jiang Zai was equally breathless, he knew full well the significance of Spirit Gun... If Spirit Gun had fallen and the other two Beast Emperors were still alive, it likely meant that Bright Moon Base couldn''t be held in the future.


    Of the three.


    Luo Chan was the most shocked, "Li Yuan is dead?"


    She alone knew that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ...


    Moments later, this explosive news had already been transmitted back to the highest echelons of the Seven Star Civilization by Tavares and the others.

 Chapter 322 Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)_2

    "The Life Crystal is dimming?"


    "How is that possible!"


    "Li Yuan is dead?" San Ye Semi Divine, Bai Shan Semi Divine, and Fang Hai, the three high-ranking officials in charge of the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm, were almost dumbfounded when they received this news.


    The three immediately convened a meeting in the virtual network. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What happened? How could Li Yuan''s Life Crystal suddenly dim?" Bai Shan Semi Divine couldn''t help but say, "Could it be that the Life Crystal is damaged?"


    "That is a treasure bestowed by the Alliance Hierarch." San Ye Semi Divine shook his head, "Even separated by hundreds of millions of miles, located on different planets, it can accurately judge life and death... unless one is in a different spatial world, but Li Yuan and the Life Crystal are currently both within the Mingxu Star Realm."


    "As for the Life Crystal being damaged? In the past few decades, the Life Crystal has never broken."


    As the chief steward of the Starfire Martial Hall, San Ye Semi Divine was quite familiar with the properties of these treasures.


    "I''ll ask my teacher." Fang Hai couldn''t sit still any longer; he couldn''t believe that Li Yuan would die within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai''s virtual figure disappeared instantly, obviously having gone to inquire from Dongfang Ji... Soon after, his consciousness descended into the virtual world again, his expression looking very grim.


    San Ye Semi Divine and Fang Hai exchanged glances, their hearts sinking, both understanding the outcome.


    "The teacher said."


    "Unless Li Yuan suddenly left the Mingxu Star Realm, the Life Crystal would not show his fall." Fang Hai said in a low voice, "There is one exception, in that Divine Land, there are some extremely special and secretive places that can block the Life Crystal''s sensing abilities."


    "Once the Life Crystal cannot sense the existence of its host, it will decide the host has fallen, and naturally, it will become dim."


    Both Semi-Divines'' hearts rose with a thread of hope once again.


    "It''s just."


    "According to the teacher''s meaning, such secretive places, even the usual Divine beings cannot open them up, like our Seven Star Civilization''s Seven Great Planets, none have places that can block the sensing of the Life Crystal." Fang Hai shook his head, "Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the probability of having such a place is very, very small."


    Both Semi-Divines fell into the abyss of despair once again.


    This statement was almost a death sentence for Li Yuan!


    "Did the Alliance Hierarch say what we should do now?" San Ye Semi Divine couldn''t help but ask.


    "Wait!" Fang Hai said solemnly, "For now, Yu Jinghe is not dead, Xue Yan is still alive, the two Beast Emperors should still be alive as well... All this is enough to prove that the so-called Divine Land is not a death ground for outsiders."


    "We can only assume that Li Yuan has fallen into some extremely dangerous and mysterious place."


    "But as long as he is alive, he will eventually come out." Fang Hai said in a low voice.


    San Ye Semi Divine and Bai Shan Semi Divine fell silent.


    Wait? What an excruciating process.


    ...


    At the Bright Moon Base, inside a Fourth-order Battleship.


    A light screen projection emerged, showing a figure in white robes.


    "Bai Shan Semi Divine." Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan greeted him with great respect.


    "The news of the Spirit Gun''s death cannot be fully confirmed yet, our high-level executives also do not believe that the Spirit Gun would just die like that." Bai Shan Semi Divine said in a grave voice, "The three of you must also strictly keep this a secret, and must not let it leak out."


    "Yes." The three said in unison, all aware of the seriousness of the matter.


    Once it spread, it would most likely cause panic.


    "You all must be prepared to retreat at any moment." Bai Shan Semi Divine said seriously, then his gaze rested on Tavares and Jiang Zai, "Tavares, Jiang Zai, treasures are being assembled at the fastest speed from the Alliance treasury to elevate your training to a higher level..."


    "Once we make a significant retreat."


    "You will need to lead the other Flying Heaven Warriors to flee within the Mingxu Star Realm, trying to hold out within the Mingxu Star Realm until you have the strength to resist the Beast Emperors." Bai Shan Semi Divine said with a light sigh.


    "Understood." Tavares and Jiang Zai responded solemnly.


    Having chosen to break through to Flying Heaven Warrior within the Mingxu Star Realm, they had naturally prepared for the worst-case scenario.


    In the event of a major retreat, individuals like Luo Chan and An Yongya, True Intent Prime Warriors, could evacuate along the Star Realm''s pathways.


    But for those like them, who had already broken through to Flying Heaven Warrior, they would have to remain within the Star Realm.


    If it came to that, they would have to choose between a desperate fight or fleeing like the current Flying Heaven Beast King, hiding and struggling within the Star Realm, waiting to accumulate enough power before counterattacking.

    In Blue Star Xia Country''s Jiangnan Province.


    Within the nearly imperceptible Ancient Divine Palace, a young girl in white clothes who had been leisurely waiting for Li Yuan''s return.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Gu Youyin sensed something, suddenly looked up, a trace of surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.


    Whoosh! Her figure disappeared from the main hall in an instant.


    Following that, she appeared in another hall.


    The hall was empty, except for a Glazed Antique Lamp suspended in the void, emitting a strange light.


    At this moment, the light from the lamp flickered dimly.


    "The Spiritual Lamp''s flame is flickering?" The girl''s eyes filled with worry, "Li Yuan, what happened to you in that Star Realm? You''d better not die in there."


    The Spiritual Lamp was a treasure far more superior than the Life Crystal.


    Through the condition of the Spiritual Lamp, the girl could infer that Li Yuan probably faced significant trouble.


    Previously, she had said she did not care about Li Yuan''s life or death, but now at this moment, she was also extremely anxious.


    However, if it were in a normal Dimensional Plane, she could go for Inquiry and even rescue, but in an Exterior Dimensional Star Realm? She did not dare enter.


    ...


    One day, two days, ten days, a month... time quietly passed.


    Li Yuan''s Life Crystal still did not light up again.


    Yu Jinghe''s Life Crystal, however, continued as normal, and this contrast slowly extinguished the flame of hope in the hearts of the Seven Star Civilization''s high-ranking officials.


    After forty days had passed, even those like Bai Shan Semi Divine and Fang Hai, who held great hope for Li Yuan, began to waver in their convictions.


    The only thing that still gave them a glimmer of hope was that Yu Jinghe and individuals from the Myriad Demons Civilization like Xue Yan also had not left the ''Divine Land''.

 Chapter 322 Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)_3

    The two Beast Emperors that seemed to still be alive also didn''t emerge.


    These situations made the already mysterious Mingxu Star Realm''s ''Divine Land'' seem even more elusive and puzzling.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    The Tianliang Civilization, Seven Star Civilization, and the Mingxu Beast Clan, these three forces, all dared not make any rash moves.


    Both civilizations were entrenched in their only base.


    The Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan didn''t dare to show themselves either, all hiding away, which actually led to a delicate balance within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ...


    In Xia Country''s Jiangbei City, at the Starfire Martial Hall''s South Lake District, late into the night.


    Inside the villa.


    "Changzhou, Li Yuan won''t encounter any trouble, will he?" Chen Hui lay in bed, growing more and more uneasy: "Even when he was busy cultivating in Feixing, he would occasionally send us messages, to reassure us."


    "How come there''s not been a single message for more than a month?" Chen Hui''s voice was full of worry.


    Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    Previously.


    Even when following Lie Feng Semi Divine for a year of cultivation, Li Yuan, aside from his diligent training, would usually send some messages home every half a month using his Flying Heaven Level privileges from Feixing.


    To put his uncle and aunt''s minds at ease.


    Over a month without a single message? Not even replying to the numerous messages from Li Changzhou and Chen Hui... It was the first time.


    "It is a bit strange."


    The usually composed Li Changzhou was also getting restless, touching his wife''s hand and saying, "But don''t worry too much, you know Li Yuan''s situation well. Isn''t he Xia Country''s top martial path talent of all time? Didn''t he tell us last time that he is already a top-grade Prime Warrior?"


    "For a powerful martial artist like him to practice and travel for several months at a time is quite normal," said Li Changzhou.


    "But he should at least send back some messages," expressed Chen Hui anxiously.


    "Alright, don''t worry, I''ll contact Lord Yang of the Province tomorrow," Li Changzhou consoled his wife.


    Since Li Yuan entered the Martial Divine Star Realm his privileges had increased.


    As Li Yuan''s family, Li Changzhou and the others had the right to directly contact the ''Lord Yang of the Province'' of the Starfire Jiangbei branch.


    ...


    Feixing, a mysterious place not far from the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    "Master."


    "Li Yuan''s Life Crystal has dimmed, it''s been over 40 days," a deep voice said: "I''m worried, has he really fallen... On the other hand, as a member of the Martial Divine Star Realm, and including the time he spent in quiet cultivation before, he has now completely disappeared for over two months."


    "Now, many people are speculating about where Li Yuan has gone," the deep voice said: "Although Duanmu Hong has issued an order, it has temporarily suppressed many guesses."


    "But if this continues, three months, six months... this news will sooner or later become impossible to conceal."


    "Such a young talent cannot be absent forever," stated the deep voice.


    Now, the name ''Spirit Gun'' had spread across many Foreign Civilizations, attracting great attention from the younger generation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But civilizations like the Myriad Demons Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, and Immortal Ruins Civilization, were all still very concerned about Li Yuan.


    After all, compared to ''Spirit Gun,'' Li Yuan is much younger and his potential is incredibly astonishing.


    "Keep a close watch on Xue Yan, Yu Jinghe, and others. As soon as they emerge, be sure to find out as quickly as possible what''s happening within the Divine Land," Dongfang Ji slowly said: "I want to know, which divine entity orchestrated the placement of this mothership."


    "Yes," the deep voice responded.


    The mysterious space once again settled into silence.


    But Dongfang Ji''s heart could not be completely at ease.


    "So much time has passed without any message, could it be, Li Yuan is truly dead?" Dongfang Ji pondered with a heavy heart.


    Before Li Yuan appeared, he had great expectations for Fang Hai, believing Fang Hai could surpass Lant in the future to become the top-grade Demigod of the Seven Star Civilization.


    And even become a Divine entity to take over his own burden.


    Then, Li Yuan appeared.


    After initially grasping Li Yuan''s talent, Dongfang Ji was quite interested, and only after a little more than a year, Li Yuan''s growth rate was beyond imagination... Li Yuan''s strength was not yet equivalent to Fang Hai''s.


    But in his heart, the significance of Li Yuan had long surpassed Fang Hai''s, even believing Li Yuan might one day surpass himself.


    But now?


    "I hope he can survive," Dongfang Ji sighed internally, having seen many talented individuals fall before.


    Dongfang Ji understood, once Li Yuan died, for the Seven Star Civilization to birth another monstrous talent would perhaps take thousands of years.


    What a pity.


    Even someone as strong as Dongfang Ji, faced with the Mingxu Star Realm, could only wait.


    ...


    While the outside world was noisy and turbulent with undercurrents swirling,


    The inside of the mothership was comparatively peaceful, with no further major conflicts erupting.


    In the Inner Layer, Yu Jinghe, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, the three were each in a special passage, desperately cultivating in hopes of entering the Inner Core Realm.


    Only Li Yuan.


    In the trial grounds of the Alien God region, he had been struck by that invisible force and subsequently lost consciousness.


    Li Yuan felt as though he had had a very long dream, the longest dream he had ever had in his life... as if he had been asleep for a very, very long time.


    Finally!


    "Huh!" Li Yuan''s consciousness suddenly cleared, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and shortly after, he opened his eyes.


    Bolting upright, he instinctively looked around. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was an incredibly vast hall, with ten majestic pillars supporting the hall, each shining with a metallic glow, each pillar''s height probably exceeding ten kilometers.


    On the pillars were carved spiraling flying serpents, akin to coiling dragons.


    At the four corners of the hall was emptiness, and vaguely, invisible forces obstructed Li Yuan''s line of sight.


    This expansive hall seemed as though it was suspended above the void.


    "Me?" Li Yuan''s gaze withdrew, belatedly realizing that he was sitting on a massive Jade Platform in the center of the hall.

 Chapter 322 Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)_4

    That is to say, he had been lying down all this time.


    "What happened to me?" Li Yuan was initially somewhat perplexed.


    With his powerful spiritual consciousness, he was very sensitive to the passage of time; he hadn''t noticed it while he was asleep, but now he quickly distinguished it.


    This made Li Yuan realize, "I''ve been asleep for forty-six days?"


    He had never slept that long in one go before.


    "Is this the Inner Core Realm?" Li Yuan''s heart was wary, "Why did I sleep for so long? What''s the situation outside?"


    Suddenly, a look of shock crossed Li Yuan''s eyes.


    "The Wind Fluctuations in the world around me..." Li Yuan noticed changes in himself, with the clarity of his sensitivity to the Mystery of the Wind likely being several times stronger than before.


    Even the mysterious fluctuations of other Laws of the Great Dao now seemed much clearer to him.


    It was as if, during the time he had been asleep, Li Yuan''s talents had undergone another Transformation.


    "You finally woke up." A familiar voice suddenly echoed in the hall.


    Whoosh~Whoosh!


    Streams of light converged to form two Phantoms, both of which were figures Li Yuan had seen before.


    One Phantom was the Black Snake Phantom, the training officer, who now seemed to be just like a follower.


    The other was a burly humanoid figure, with a single horn and clad in thick Combat Armor¡ªit was the ''Alien God Envoy'' Qiu Bingzun. Only now, the aura he emitted was vigorous and fierce, and he seemed almost real, much stronger than before.


    Just standing there, Qiu Bingzun made Li Yuan''s heart tremble.


    "Elder Qiu?" Li Yuan got up from the Jade Platform, unable to help asking, "What''s going on?"


    "Little fellow." The Black Snake Phantom laughed, "Why call him Elder anymore? You should address him as the respected, the great ''Respected One''."


    "Respected One?" A shock went through Li Yuan''s heart.


    "In my Heavenly Serpent race, only the most exalted beings are worthy of being called Respected Ones." The Black Snake Phantom solemnly said, "Even in the Divine Realm''s Heavenly Serpent Temple, the Respected Ones have the privilege of leaving their names behind."


    Listening, Li Yuan was bewildered and couldn''t help but look toward the burly figure with the horn. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan realized.


    No wonder some things had felt odd before. As an Alien God Envoy, why did he repeatedly remind me to be wary of the Heritage? Shouldn''t he logically be tempting me into accepting the Alien God''s Heritage, the treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine?


    Qiu Bingzun, the Respected One.


    So that was how it was. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire


    "Spirit Gun, you are not mistaken." Qiu Bingzun stepped forward, smiled, and came in front of Li Yuan, "I am indeed the master of this Mothership, and also the Heavenly Serpent Divine ''Qiu Bingzun'' you speak of."


    "You don''t need to call me Respected One, just continue to refer to me as Elder Qiu." Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan.


    "Elder Qiu." Li Yuan gave a wry smile.


    "You must have many questions in your heart, don''t be anxious, I will explain them to you gradually." Qiu Bingzun smiled, "Since I chose you, naturally I will not hide anything from you."


    "How do you feel now that you''ve integrated the Sacred Artifact ''Spirit of the Heavenly Wind''?" Qiu Bingzun smiled.


    Startled by these words, Li Yuan couldn''t help but say, "The changes in my body, are they because I''ve integrated this artifact?"


    "Sacred Artifacts, even to Respected Ones, are precious treasures." The Black Snake Phantom said, "You''ve been asleep for so many days because you were Refining and integrating the artifact."


    "Indeed, your body is formidable; you succeeded in Refinement in just over forty days. The Respected One and I thought it would take at least half a year." The Black Snake Phantom said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    "The Spirit of the Heavenly Wind is of great use even to Divine beings," Qiu Bingzun laughed, "And for those below the level of Divine beings, its greatest effect is akin to modifying your body and bloodline, greatly increasing your affinity with the Wind Law... it works best with Second Rank and Third Rank life forms."


    "For Demigods, their bodies are too strong, so the effect would be much less." Qiu Bingzun smiled, "This is also why I only select Second Rank and Third Order Life."

 Chapter 323 Mortal Domain, Divine Realm, Heavenly Divine (Extra 36)

    Li Yuan''s heart was shocked as he listened.


    He had never heard of such a treasure before.


    Until now, the only things he knew that could enhance Law Compatibility were auxiliary Star Techniques for cultivation, such as "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" and "Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation", and these required extremely high demands on the Star Meridian, which were very stringent.


    "Kid, it''s your luck to have obtained the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind in this barren Mortal Domain," the Black Snake Phantom said with a smile. "Only a Hierarch could bring it out. Ordinary True Gods wouldn''t even hope to have it."


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished. A True God?


    According to what Gu You had said before, a Fifth Order Divine Being could only be considered a Pseudo-God.


    Looking at it now, the Heavenly Serpent Divine ''Qiu Bingzun'' must be a very strong existence even among True Gods.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also remembered the term ''Mortal Domain''. Was this referring to the Dimensional Domain he was in?


    "Don''t listen to his exaggeration," Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. "Such origin treasures like Spirit of the Heavenly Wind are indeed good, but some super beings in the vast Divine Realm can still take them out. Yet when they cultivate their disciples, not every one of them can become a True God. Even igniting the Divine Fire is difficult for some."


    "External things are only an aid."


    "Just like the Heaven Snake, True Phoenix, and Divine Dragon clans, they are destined to become gods by nature. But so what? Most can only ignite the Divine Fire."


    "Whereas the Human Race, spread across all domains and being mostly frail at birth, has continuously given birth to super beings that shakes the Divine Realm over the long years." The Heavenly Serpent Divine shook his head. "Now, Humans have the most dominant presences in the Divine Realm."


    The Divine Realm? Li Yuan held his breath.


    This was not the first time he had heard this term.


    "Ultimately, it depends on the individual," Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. "The Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, or your future cultivation of the ''Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation'', can greatly speed up your cultivation rate, but the many bottlenecks on the path to becoming a god... it still depends on your spirit."


    "Law Compatibility is a part of the talent for Enlightenment, but it''s not everything," Qiu Bingzun said.


    "It can only be said that it increases the probability of you becoming a strong being, allowing you to walk the path of the strong faster and more steadily."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    These were the experience summaries of an extremely powerful being.


    But Li Yuan also understood that their perspectives were different.


    To Qiu Bingzun, perhaps achieving Demigod or Fifth Order Divine Being was nothing.


    But for himself, for the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    If they could give birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being, that would be a tremendous event, enough to change the fate of the entire civilization.


    "In any case."


    "Thank you, Elder, for this treasure," Li Yuan said respectfully. "May I know what you want me to do?"


    From his previous interactions with Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan was clear that the other party was likely not choosing a Successor.


    Otherwise, it would not have been so much trouble.


    "No rush."


    "Let me tell you slowly," Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. "Have you heard of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains?"


    A hint of confusion appeared in Li Yuan''s eyes. What was that?


    "How about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?" Qiu Bingzun asked again.


    A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes, and after hesitating, he nodded. "I''ve heard an elder in my clan mention it once. It seems to be a mysterious place within the Dimensional Domain that only Demigods are qualified to explore."


    His teacher Lie Feng had mentioned it once.


    Back then, Lie Feng and the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji met in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.


    "Hmm, it seems your civilization is quite powerful indeed. That makes sense, you managed to cultivate powerful Body Refinement Techniques, and your civilization has quite a few Fourth-order Battleships... It should have given birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being," Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan did not speak. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Divine Beings? His civilization did not have any... but the Alliance Hierarch could bring out treasures that were probably stronger than many Fifth Order Divine Beings.


    Qiu Bingzun said, "You must have guessed that I am not a creature from your Mortal Domain, but rather from the Divine Realm."


    "Elder," Li Yuan couldn''t help saying, "What exactly are the ''Mortal Domain'' and ''Divine Realm''?"


    "The universe is vast, and the heaven and earth revolve, filled with countless unknowns. The Divine Realm and the Mortal Domain are both part of the Dimensional River, belonging to a Starry Sky," Qiu Bingzun said with enigmatic colors in his eyes. "The so-called Divine Realm is essentially an extremely vast and expansive ''super Dimensional Domain'' where Origin Power is rich, filled with countless Life Planets... Over billions of years, it has developed dazzling Origin Power technology and given birth to many powerful Divine beings."


    "Gods compete for supremacy, numerous clans strive for dominance, and many powerful sects, kingdoms, and civilizations rise, while others are destroyed, among them some that had given birth to Heavenly Divines, great realms and civilizations have been annihilated," a touch of melancholy flashed in Qiu Bingzun''s eyes.


    Li Yuan was also shocked, taking a deep breath.


    Goodness! The outside world was so vast and expansive, just hearing about it made one''s blood boil with excitement.


    "The Divine Realm is the core of this vast Starry Sky, the essence, the prime region," Qiu Bingzun continued. "While the Dimensional Domain you are in is an ''ordinary Dimensional Domain'' that is part of the operation of the Divine Realm, it also has a vast Source operating inside it, maintaining the stability of the entire Dimensional Domain."


    "However, ordinary Dimensional Domains are too weak compared to the Divine Realm, usually having far fewer resources and treasures, and produce fewer Divine Beings. The places where Mortal lives reside, hence they are also called ''Mortal Domains''," Qiu Bingzun explained.


    Li Yuan finally understood.


    The so-called Mortal Domain and Divine Realm, in essence, don''t differ fundamentally, it''s just a matter of strength.


    "Of course, under the operation of a common Dimensional Domain''s origin, to maintain stability, over the course of evolution, there is often a gradual formation of barriers between planes. Different planes are protected by the laws of heaven and earth, making it difficult for the divines within the domain to traverse the starry sky and reach different dimensional planes."


    "Ultimately, the majority of divines will follow the guidance of the origin of the Dimensional Domain and head towards the Divine Realm." Qiu Bingzun laughed, "A vast number of Mortal Domains revolve around the Divine Realm."


    "With a large congregation of divines, plus those born within the Divine Realm itself... naturally, the Divine Realm is filled with wonders."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, this did remind him of a term¡ªascension.


    But it seemed not quite the same.


    "Elder, are there many divines within the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Many! If there weren''t many divines, could it be called the Divine Realm?" Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, "But in some sense, not many either."


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    "Kid." The Black Snake Phantom beside them laughed, "There indeed is a large number of divines, but that''s the total number... The Divine Realm is vast and boundless, with countless stars and lives incalculable. Just like in your lesser civilizations, divines often serve as the leaders of a civilization."


    "In the Divine Realm, even a Fifth Order Divine Being could easily rule a Life Planet, mastering the life and death of billions."


    Li Yuan understood.


    Even in the Divine Realm, a Fifth Rank Divine Being was a very strong existence.


    It was just that the Divine Realm was so vast that it made ordinary divines seem insignificant.


    "If that''s the case, why would those divines want to go to the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan couldn''t resist asking, "Could it be that the operation of the laws of heaven and earth forces divines to go to the Divine Realm?"


    Staying in the Mortal Domain, as a leader of a civilization, one could live freely and at ease.


    "That won''t be forced."


    "However, under the operation of the Dimensional Domain''s origin, it is not keen on the emergence of extremely powerful divines. The stronger one''s essence, the more they will face the invisible suppression of the origin," Qiu Bingzun explained, "Just like you now, you can venture through numerous Second Level and Third Level Star Realms."


    "But what about the divines? Fifth Level Star Domains are quite rare," Qiu Bingzun shook his head, "Being a leader of a civilization might be exciting at first, especially when friends and loved ones are possibly still around."


    "But what about after five hundred years? A thousand years? Two thousand years?" Qiu Bingzun said with some emotion, "A life without purpose is very boring, being trapped in a single Dimensional Plane is like being in a cage, and former friends and loved ones pass away one after another, scarcely leaving behind any attachment... When you look around, all you see are your juniors and descendants."


    "Can you imagine what that kind of life is like?" Qiu Bingzun looked towards Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was silent.


    "The most crucial thing is lifespan," Qiu Bingzun said, "Demigods live for a thousand years."


    "At Fifth Rank, igniting Divine Fire, they become Pseudo-Gods, living for five thousand years."


    "At Sixth Rank, they begin to solidify their Divine Heart, becoming True Gods, with a lifespan of thirty thousand years."


    "And at Seventh Rank, refining their Divine Nature, they become Heavenly Divines, living for three hundred thousand years!" Qiu Bingzun spoke softly.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    "Pseudo-Gods, True Gods, Heavenly Divines?" Li Yuan finally understood the divisions among the divines.


    Li Yuan was also shocked by the lifespans of True Gods and Heavenly Divines.


    Three hundred thousand years? What an unfathomably long time!


    "Pseudo-Gods and True Gods, not fast enough to fly, still need to use technological means to roam the cosmos, making use of Star Gates for passage; but Heavenly Divines, on their own, can traverse the cosmic space, shattering planets without effort."


    "In the eyes of the Divine Realm, they are all peak powerhouses."


    "With the long lifespans and formidable powers, Heavenly Divines fear almost no natural dangers and have the capability to explore various civilizations, in pursuit of the ultimate mysteries between heaven and earth." Qiu Bingzun smiled at Li Yuan, "If you were in their shoes, having lived for over a thousand years, would you be willing to die of old age within a Dimensional Plane, or would you prefer to head towards the splendid and boundless Divine Realm?" Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire


    Li Yuan held his breath again.


    Indeed! For many divines who have lived for over a thousand years, what pleasures have they not experienced?


    To seek eternal life, to obtain more powerful treasures and cultivation methods, it is unlikely anyone would choose to stay in their native civilization.


    "Elder Qiu."


    "Then why did you come from the Divine Realm to our Dimensional Domain? As far as I know, it seems that more than one divine descended a ten thousand years ago," Li Yuan couldn''t help but say, "Is there something in our Dimensional Domain worth competing for, a priceless treasure perhaps?"


    Through communicating with Qiu Bingzun.


    Li Yuan had basically confirmed that the Ancient Torch Divine likely also came from the Divine Realm.


    "You seem to know a lot, and you''re not wrong in your guess," Qiu Bingzun spoke slowly, "Normally, Mortal Domains are very poor in resources and treasures, but your Dimensional Domain is an exception."


    "Ten thousand years ago."


    "I led my many divines, at great cost, with this Divine Class Mothership, to descend painfully into this Dimensional Domain... I wasn''t the only one, many divines from the Divine Realm descended at that time."


    "And many native divines of your Dimensional Domain also joined the battle."


    "It was a earth-shattering skirmish."


    "All for the treasure within the ''Burial Immortal Ancient Domain''."

 Chapter 325 Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Request for Monthly Tickets)

    "This is indeed the case," Qiu Bingzun nodded. "You should have something with you that can confirm whether you are alive or dead, but from the moment you entered the inner layer of the core, all external sensing was cut off."


    "Unless it''s that kind of ''Soul Sensing Artifact'' that can transcend different dimensional planes."


    "Otherwise, by now, your homeland''s civilization would probably think you have perished," Qiu Bingzun said. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire


    "What?" Li Yuan''s face changed, he had two soul sensing artifacts on him.


    One was the Spiritual Lamp, which could achieve clear sensing as long as he was in this Mortal Domain, and it was controlled by Gu You.


    The other was the Life Crystal, controlled by the Seven Star Civilization, but it could only confirm within a singular world.


    Furthermore, refining the ''Spirit of the Heavenly Wind'' had taken him over forty days.


    In other words, more than forty days ago, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization were guessing whether he had perished?


    "Venerable One, why didn''t you tell me?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but say, worry in his heart.


    "I said before, when you make a choice, there will be consequences," Qiu Bingzun shook his head. "Without fully confirming your attitude, I would not allow the slightest possibility of the news leaking."


    "I also established this Core Palace inside the Mothership to isolate the essence of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg. Even a Seventh Rank Heavenly Divine wouldn''t even dream of sensing it directly unless they broke into the palace," Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    Qiu Bingzun was right; before this, there seemed to be no need for him to regard Li Yuan''s attitude.


    "But rest assured, I know what you are worried about."


    "Xue Yan, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and your clan''s ''Yu Jinghe,'' who are currently trapped inside the Mothership, I haven''t let them out," Qiu Bingzun laughed. "The external forces have also not broken out in major wars."


    "Your homeland civilization, the Seven Star Civilization, has not suffered any loss."


    Hearing this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    What he was most worried about was that so many days had passed and Xue Yan, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the others had already left the Mothership ¡­ in that case, there would be too many uncontrollable factors.


    "As long as you form a blood pact with the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, allowing it to hatch successfully, all these people are at your disposal," Qiu Bingzun smiled. "If you are unwilling to kill them, I even have a way to let you control them by soul."


    "Soul Control?" Li Yuan was stunned.


    "It involves planting a prohibition at the source, in their souls, making them willingly submissive to you from the depths of their hearts," Qiu Bingzun explained. "Thus it is called Soul Control."


    "Soul Control Technique, across the Divine Realm, is exceedingly precious, and many divines cannot acquire it," Qiu Bingzun said. "This peculiar secret technique, in terms of its rarity, is comparable to many complete Supreme Star Techniques."


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily, such methods he had only heard of but had never seen before.


    "Can I cultivate this method?" Li Yuan furrowed his brow.


    "Normally, no, even a Demigod''s soul utilization is quite rudimentary," Qiu Bingzun laughed. "But among the gifts I''ve prepared for you, there''s one that can help you initially cultivate it¡­ controlling a few at the Flying Heaven Level isn''t hard."


    Li Yuan inwardly exclaimed and also felt a bit wary.


    This Heavenly Serpent Divine, truly a supreme existence among true gods, still very fearsome even if already deceased, leaving just a residual thought behind.


    "Of course, this type of Soul Technique Method also has many drawbacks," Qiu Bingzun said. "For one, it places a certain burden on the user''s soul. The stronger the servant, the greater the impact on the master, so there''s a limit to the number of servants you can control... and once a servant surpasses a certain level of strength, they can break free of this soul restriction."


    "Secondly, it cannot be executed on those too strong. For example, if your own soul is only at the Flying Heaven Level and it''s used on a Demigod¡­ you might instead suffer backlash, causing severe damage to yourself."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    "Thirdly, is that the controlled beings often see a significant drop in potential," Qiu Bingzun said. "Some exceptional talents, after being controlled by soul, will often see their strength progress much slower, rarely reaching their original potential."


    "Why is that?" Li Yuan puzzled.


    "Their hearts change," Qiu Bingzun shook his head. "Why can the strong become strong? Because they have the heart of the strong, the courage and determination to surpass everything... If they become servants, blindly obeying the master, can they still become strong over time?"


    Li Yuan had a realization, true exceptional talents and strong beings always firmly believe in themselves, even if their progress is slow for a while, they usually do not get discouraged... Even if they revere a senior, they won''t contemplate becoming a ''servant.''


    "If I can control their souls, that''s naturally best; I don''t care if their future potential lowers," Li Yuan shook his head. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If he could control the two Beast Emperors, then he could keep control over the Ming Xu Beast Clan.


    If he could control Xue Yan? That would be like driving a deep wedge into the Demon Civilization, potentially infiltrating the high ranks of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the future.


    ...


    Inside a massive secret chamber within the inner layer of the Mothership.


    A Combat Saber floated in the void, pitch-black and emitting strange fluctuations.


    Inside the chamber, Yu Jinghe, clad in a black robe, was continually staring at the Combat Saber in the void, sensing the mysterious fluctuations.


    "Metal!"


    "Incredible, this Combat Saber contains a Sword Technique that''s utterly unimaginable," as Yu Jinghe delved deeper, the more he marveled.


    Still, Yu Jinghe was quite troubled, "According to the Alien God''s messenger, I must comprehend a powerful enough Sword Technique within six months to hope to advance to the next test."


    "This inner layer of the Mothership contains many treasures and opportunities, a rare chance for me."


    "I''ve become a direct disciple of an Alien God, with the inheritance of an Alien God aiding me, there''s a great hope for me to become a Semi-Divine."

 Chapter 325 Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

    Xue Yan became a Direct Disciple of an Alien God with relative ease.


    Yet, Yu Jinghe had only managed to barely scrape through the "Sixth Layer Trial" of the Heavenly Serpent Divine after a breakthrough in the Star Meridian within the Divine Land and after cultivating a stronger Star Technique.


    Faced with the harsh demands of the Direct Disciple of a Metal-series Alien God, Yu Jinghe ultimately chose to agree.


    After all, he wasn''t like Li Yuan, now faced with the legacy left by a Divine, it was natural to go all out.


    "There is the transmission of an Alien God, but becoming a Divine is not easy either, I must seize the opportunity within the Inner Layer," Yu Jinghe''s heart was filled with desire, "If I could enter the very core of the Inner Layer, perhaps ascending to godhood would be easy."


    The deeper he delved, the more miraculous he found the Mothership.


    A great treasure indeed.


    Still, Yu Jinghe''s heart was full of concerns, "Having entered the Mothership for so long, I''m unaware of the situation outside. How goes the war with the Mingxu Beast Clan?"


    Suddenly.


    Countless beams of light converged, consolidating in the secret chamber into a towering, horned silhouette. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Yu Jinghe," Qiu Bingzun looked down at Yu Jinghe.


    "Alien God''s emissary," Yu Jinghe got up and respectfully bowed.


    "Your trial has ended," Qiu Bingzun said.


    "What?" Yu Jinghe was suddenly shocked, "Senior, you gave me six months for the trial, and it hasn''t even been two months. I definitely have the hope of passing this trial."


    "I didn''t say you failed the trial, but that your trial has ended," Qiu Bingzun spoke indifferently, "Just now, someone has already passed the trial, entered the core of the Inner Layer, and obtained the treasure left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine."


    "Someone has completed the trial? Who?" Yu Jinghe was shocked in his heart, having gone through many trials before, he was well aware of their difficulty.


    And within the Inner Layer''s Sixth Trials, he had only struggled through to the Third Layer, who could have passed all six so quickly?


    Could it be one of the Three Great Beast Emperors?


    "You know this person," Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, "It''s the ''Spirit Gun'' from your Seven Star Civilization."


    "Spirit Gun?" Yu Jinghe inhaled sharply, familiar with the name.


    Before entering the Civilization Mothership, he had heard about the birth of a super genius ''Spirit Gun'' in his civilization, who had swept through the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm.

    Back then, his heart was exhilarated.


    But he had not expected that this person would also enter the Divine Land and so quickly overcome all obstacles to obtain the ultimate treasure.


    "You should be thankful."


    "If it had been a bit later, ''Xue Yan'' from the Myriad Demons Civilization might have had a chance to break into the core of the Inner Layer," Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, "Although he entered later than you, he has already reached the Fourth Layer Trial..."


    "Xue Yan?" A flicker of confusion passed through Yu Jinghe''s eyes, unfamiliar with the name.


    The situation over the past few months had exceeded his imagination.


    But from Qiu Bingzun''s words, Yu Jinghe could also judge... if not for Spirit Gun, he most likely would not have been able to compete with this ''Xue Yan.''


    "That''s fine," Yu Jinghe thought, "The treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine, falling into Spirit Gun''s hands, is a thousand, a million times better than it falling into Xue Yan''s."


    After all, it would belong to the Seven Star Civilization.


    "Sigh!"


    With a wave of his hand, Qiu Bingzun sent a Storage Treasure floating towards Yu Jinghe. The Combat Saber, which had been hovering in the chamber, with its mysterious fluctuations, began to subside and gently fell: "As per Spirit Gun''s wishes, these treasures are gifted to you, as a reward for passing the Fifth Layer Trial."


    "This?" Yu Jinghe was startled. He himself possessed Flying Heaven Level spiritual power and, with a mere thought, he could tell the Storage Magical Treasure contained astonishingly valuable treasures.


    "Thank you, senior," Yu Jinghe said respectfully.


    "To give thanks, thank Spirit Gun," Qiu Bingzun looked at him, "Had he not spoken, you would have had no right to these treasures... The treasure left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine is only one level higher than the gift you have received."


    "Yes," Yu Jinghe''s heart was already filled with goodwill towards this ''Spirit Gun,'' whom he had never met.


    "Before sending you away."


    "You have no demands for this gift, but don''t forget your promise to the ''Metal-series Alien God,''" Qiu Bingzun confirmed, "You have set a Law oath, and no one can help you with that."


    "I understand," Yu Jinghe nodded, the inheritance left by the Alien God''s Direct Disciple was very demanding, but it also asked him to become a Divine before taking action, so there was no rush.


    "Additionally."


    "You must set a Law oath, not to reveal the secrets about the Inner Layer," Qiu Bingzun said, "This is not Spirit Gun''s request, but a demand of the Heavenly Serpent Divine."


    "Yes," Yu Jinghe nodded.


    Before long.


    Yu Jinghe, having established another Law oath, was directly sent out of the Civilization Mothership by Qiu Bingzun.


    "This Li Yuan is indeed a man of great loyalty," Qiu Bingzun murmured, as his avatar dissipated.


    ...


    In the core of the Mothership, within the vast expanse of the Heavenly Snake Temple.


    "I have already sent Yu Jinghe away."


    "And told him you are still alive, so you don''t have to worry anymore," the towering, horned silhouette suddenly said, "Additionally, I have given him an extra little gift, it should be helpful to him."


    "Thank you, Venerable One," Li Yuan nodded.


    Li Yuan had wanted to contact Bright Moon Base directly, but Qiu Bingzun was unwilling, agreeing only to let Yu Jinghe pass on the message.


    "Rest assured, I am not deceiving you," Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, "Now, it''s time to start hatching the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded, with everything at this stage, there were no other choices left.


    ...


    "Rumble~" The entire temple suddenly began to shake, as the once towering Divine Pillars burst into light, countless glows converging towards the center of the great hall.


    "This?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "It''s finally starting," Qiu Bingzun''s eyes showed a complex expression, "Who knows if this is the last Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg of our clan."

 Chapter 325 Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_3

    "When the Heavenly Serpent Clan was attacked by a powerful enemy years ago, they began a great escape, and he led just one of the fleeing groups."


    "As for whether the other fleeing groups are still alive, whether there are still any Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Eggs? Qiu Bingzun doesn''t know."


    "They didn''t know or contact each other, each escaping on their own, to ensure the maximum continuation of their clan."


    "Boom~" Suddenly, the ground of the temple split open, revealing a huge Divine Pool filled with purple liquid that ebbed and flowed, emitting a hazy radiance, resembling divine brilliance.


    "What a rich life essence." Li Yuan held his breath; he could feel that these purple liquids were probably exceedingly precious.


    Then, Li Yuan''s gaze fell upon a green serpent egg within the vast Divine Pool.


    So big!


    From just sizing it up, Li Yuan confirmed that the diameter of this serpent egg must exceed ten meters. It was completely immersed in the purple liquid, its surface flickering with layers of flowing light, emitting a powerful aura.


    "Thousands of years have passed, and the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg has maintained its vitality all thanks to these special Spiritual Liquids," Qiu Bingzun whispered, "from the birth to the hatching of a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, it can be preserved for up to thirty thousand years... and now, it''s nearly twenty thousand years."


    "These Spiritual Liquids not only ensure its vitality but also seal its life essence."


    "Twenty thousand years?" Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    Truly exaggerated, fitting for a great clan of the Divine Realm, their methods are many!


    "Go."


    Whoosh~ Qiu Bingzun suddenly raised his hand, his fingertip traced a streak of light, which instantly shot into Li Yuan''s mind.


    Immediately, a massive amount of information emerged, all about the various methods to hatch the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.


    With Li Yuan''s current spiritual power, he quickly understood it all.


    "The rest is up to you now," Qiu Bingzun said.


    "Understood." Li Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the Divine Pool, and directly plunged into it.


    Splash~


    Li Yuan was completely soaked in the purple Spiritual Liquid.


    "I must succeed."


    Li Yuan thought to himself, "Once successful, I will receive many treasures left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine, as well as a Spirit Beast that is destined to grow to the True God Peak."


    Such a powerful Spirit Beast, easily attracting disasters, not to mention the Heavenly Serpent Clan still has formidable enemies.


    But if used well, it is also a great asset.


    Following the methods in Qiu Bingzun''s information, a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, in as short as a hundred years, and at most a thousand years, would grow all the way to the True God Peak, then shine radiantly for thirty thousand years.


    Many formidable True Gods, reaching the True God Peak is close to the end of their lifespan, making it naturally difficult to Ascend to Heavenly God.


    But for a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, it has thirty thousand years to strive and pursue... the hope of becoming a Heavenly God is naturally immense.


    "Refinement." Li Yuan followed the information, his Divine Sense quickly penetrated the entire Divine Pool.


    Gradually sensing the many Secret Runes in the Divine Pool, all were fluctuations of the mystery of the Wind Vein.


    "Without the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, I''m afraid it wouldn''t be this easy," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan had understood why Qiu Bingzun had asked him to first try using the ''Spirit of the Heavenly Wind,'' to transform his body''s bloodline to be closer to the Wind Law and also to better fit the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Bloodline, making the hatching of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent easier.


    A while later.


    "Rumble~" Li Yuan had initially refined the Divine Pool and through the Divine Pool sensed every bit of Spiritual Liquid.


    This was the first step.


    "Second step, merge with the life essence." Li Yuan thought, and immediately as if his body was boiling, large amounts of blood seeped from many pores, directly permeating into the Spiritual Liquid.


    They began to merge.


    As time passed, a large amount of blood seeped into the Divine Pool, and at the same time, Li Yuan''s Origin Power also crazily transformed into blood... gradually, the entire Divine Pool started to show hints of blood color.


    ...


    Following the information, Li Yuan spent a long time, and when his body felt waves of weakness... he finally, using the Divine Pool, merged his own blood with the Spiritual Liquid into one.


    "Third step, release the suppression, merge into the serpent egg." Li Yuan thought, and the Magical Treasure-like Divine Pool completely released its suppression on that giant Heaven Snake Egg.


    Immediately.


    "Rumble~" The once silent Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg immediately burst into dazzling brilliance, followed by what seemed like a giant vortex forming.


    Madly absorbing the Spiritual Liquid in the Divine Pool, which was mixed with a large amount of Li Yuan''s blood.


    Absorbing the external energy, the aura of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg rapidly exploded; it had begun its nurturing birth.


    "Merge the Soul Force." Li Yuan thought, his Divine Sense Power already permeated the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.


    "Sssss~" S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, at this moment, seemed like a giant Taotie, even devouring Li Yuan''s Divine Sense Power without hesitation. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire


    Pain!


    Damage to the Divine Sense felt like the soul tearing, waves of pain sweeping through Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Hold on!"


    "By feeding the snake with the body, nurturing with the soul, only then can we make our bloodlines fit each other," Li Yuan thought to himself, striving to hold on.


    Li Yuan also finally understood why Qiu Bingzun had previously said to ''hold on.''


    The entire process would last three months, indeed very painful.


    Fortunately.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg only devoured bits of Li Yuan''s Divine Sense Power, causing pain but, in a short time, not causing fatal damage.


    ...


    "Back then, the elders said,"


    "Only by our clan rebirthing a Heavenly Divine can we rebuild and stand tall in the Divine Realm once more," Qiu Bingzun silently watched everything in the Divine Pool, "who knows if it can succeed in the future."


    "My lord,"


    A black snake phantom couldn''t help but transmit its voice, "Do you really plan to let the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent become the ''Spirit Beast'' of the Spirit Gun? According to your original intention, if Xue Yan comes, wasn''t the plan to make Xue Yan the ''Servant'' of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent?"

 Chapter 325 Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_4

    "Um," Qiu Bingzun glanced at the black phantom, "Xue Yan? His potential is too poor, the hope for him to become a True God is very slim... He is of little help to the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, so he is just a ''substitute'' in my plan."


    "But the Spirit Gun is different," Qiu Bingzun looked at the figure in black garment in the Divine Pool, "his potential is extremely high."


    "He is likely to be admitted under the Heavenly Divine Gate in the future, or even become a Heavenly Divine himself."


    "This is a Heavenly Divine of the Human Race!"


    "The Human Race is the leading clan in the Divine Realm," Qiu Bingzun said softly, "I never expected to rely on the Spirit Gun to fend off the great enemy of my Heavenly Serpent Clan, but in the future, he might join some superpower forces in the Divine Realm, such as¡ªChaos Divine Court."


    "Chaos Divine Court?" the black snake phantom was shocked.


    That was indeed one of the top forces in the Divine Realm.


    "I genuinely help him; the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent will regard him as a brother, as a father."


    "Due to the bloodline contract, he will also feel extremely close to the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent... so that he will naturally help the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent in the future," Qiu Bingzun slowly explained.


    "He is from the Human Race, highly talented, and also from the Mortal Domain, born so pure... his chances of joining a superpower force in the Divine Realm are substantial."


    "With that," continued Qiu Bingzun, "the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, being his Spirit Beast, would naturally also have a chance to become the core of a superpower, greatly increasing its chances of ascending to Heavenly God."


    The black snake phantom understood.


    If it was the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent alone, joining a superpower would be easy, but becoming the core of a superpower? As difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    It would be hard to gain trust.


    "If it gets to that point."


    "If the two of them, both Heavenly Divine, join forces and are part of a superpower, even if it meant rebuilding the Heavenly Serpent Clan, even our enemies would not dare to act rashly again," Qiu Bingzun spoke gravely, "otherwise, even if they both become Heavenly Divine, they would still struggle to fend off a great enemy."


    "Wise words, Venerable One," the black snake phantom said.


    ...


    As time passed, while Li Yuan was fully engaged in hatching the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent in the core of the Mothership.


    Back in the Ming Xu Star Realm, Yu Jinghe had safely returned to the Bright Moon Base.


    "What?"


    "Spirit Gun, alone, killed over a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings? Has the power of Flying Heaven Peak?" Yu Jinghe was flabbergasted, finally learning about the events of the recent months.


    At the same time.


    The news he brought also caused Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan to be shocked and excited.


    "Spirit Gun is still alive?"


    "He''s still alive! Good!"


    ...


    "Li Yuan is still alive?"


    "Yu Jinghe has returned alive?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, San Ye Semi-Divine also quickly received the news and were extremely excited. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai immediately headed to Jiangnan Province to meet Yu Jinghe, who had come from the Ming Xu Star Realm, wanting to know what exactly happened.


    "Three Great Beast Emperors, only two left?"


    "Ming Mountain, it''s a God Level Warship, and inside the warship are the inheritances of six Divine Beings?"


    "Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, are they all still within the warship?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai listened to Yu Jinghe''s detailed narration.


    The six Divine Being Inheritances alone astonished them.


    Qiu Bingzun only told Yu Jinghe not to reveal inner layer secrets, but regarding the outer layer? He did not make any demands.


    "Two seniors."


    "Regarding many things about the warship, I can''t speak... I can only tell you, seniors, that Spirit Gun has obtained greater benefits than I, and he is safe," Yu Jinghe said, "However, I do not know when he will be able to come out." Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai exchanged glances, unable to speak?


    "Is it a law oath?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked quietly.


    "Yes," Yu Jinghe nodded.


    ...Yu Jinghe''s return temporarily alleviated the high echelons of the Seven Star Civilization''s concerns about Li Yuan, filling them with anticipation.


    Day by day, the situation in Ming Xu Star Realm remained stable, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

 Chapter 326 Born! Liu Bing (Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

    Tianliang Civilization, aboard the warship suspended over the ocean, inside the conference room.


    "Nearly five months since he went in."


    "Such a long time and still no news?" Ye An Semi Divine''s brows were deeply furrowed.


    Considering his status within the Myriad Demons Civilization, he was more esteemed than most ''Kings'' of divine nations, how precious was his time?


    Originally sent by the Eastern Demon Deity, the purpose was to intimidate the Tianliang Civilization, to prevent the situation where the Myriad Demons Civilization''s genius obtains treasures and then gets preyed upon by the Tianliang Civilization.


    Unexpectedly, this delay had now lasted almost half a year.


    "Ye An Semi Divine," Jin Liang entered the conference room, where there were few people present today, and spoke in a deep voice, "I just received a message, Yu Jinghe has returned."


    "Yu Jinghe from the Seven Stars Civilization? Wasn''t he trapped in the Divine Land?" Ye An Semi Divine was visibly surprised.


    "I just found out as well," said Jin Liang Semi Divine solemnly, "According to reliable information... he has been back for at least a month." S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "That long? Why wasn''t it revealed?" Ye An Semi Divine spoke in a low voice.


    "Upon his return, he continued to conceal his movements, we had no knowledge of it," Jin Liang Semi Divine shook his head and sighed, "This time it was purely coincidental that we found out."


    "Still, what he experienced in the Divine Land and what he obtained remains a total mystery," said Jin Liang Semi Divine.


    "A coincidence?" Ye An Semi Divine did not press further.


    The Tianliang Civilization was a vassal of the Myriad Demons Civilization, but he was not a vassal himself, so naturally, he would not divulge the secrets of his own civilization''s intelligence network.


    "Alright, I understand."


    "I will report to the Divine Being and find a way to clarify this," Ye An Semi Divine said softly.


    In terms of intelligence networks, the Myriad Demons Civilization was naturally stronger... now knowing the specific target, the tracking would be much easier.


    ...


    Not long after.


    Feixing, a mysterious place of long-term quiet cultivation by Dongfang Ji, within a void.


    "Master."


    A deep voice sounded, "I just received news, the Tianliang Civilization has identified the leak of Yu Jinghe''s whereabouts, it seems to have been leaked recently."


    "Leaked recently?" Dongfang Ji opened his eyes and frowned, "Did you investigate Yu Jinghe''s recent actions?"


    "I did."


    "Yu Jinghe, following orders, had been in seclusion all this time without showing himself, only recently did he contact his family," the deep voice said, "I have already tracked down six targets based on clues, and am further pursuing them."


    "Hmm, clarify it first, but don''t act rashly for now, find another reason later and then expose it," Dongfang Ji instructed.


    "I understand."


    "There''s another matter I wish to report," the deep voice said, "Recently, the forces that secretly tried to break into the Blue Star virtual network mainframe have been traced... the source seems to be in Xia Country''s Jiangnan Province."


    "Jiangnan Province?" Dongfang Ji was taken aback, being from Xia Country, he was naturally familiar.


    "The target location is uncertain," the deep voice continued, "However, the temporarily locked region coincides significantly with the area where Li Yuan last secluded himself to cultivate the Supreme Star Technique."


    A flicker of light passed through Dongfang Ji''s eyes.


    Last September.


    Li Yuan obtained a treasure worth 500,000 Seven Stars Points, practiced Star Technique in the Ancient Divine Palace, secluded for more than ten days... effectively disappearing from the Seven Stars Civilization''s supervision.


    Although high-level officials of the Seven Stars Civilization never inquired, the surveillance system still performed ''regional standards''.


    "State your speculation," Dongfang Ji said softly.


    "From previous signs, it appears that the ''World within Worlds'' of the Fierce Feather Star Realm likely contains a powerful Earth System Divine Being heritage, at least a Fifth Rank Pseudo-God Peak, perhaps even a True God Heritage," said the deep voice.


    Dongfang Ji listened, "Continue."


    "In this heritage he acquired, there likely exists a formidable power," the deep voice continued, "Now it''s uncertain whether this power is under Li Yuan''s control."


    "I speculate that hidden there is either a Cave Heaven Treasure or a God Level Warship," the deep voice said, "If you, Master, wish to know the truth, I can order the guardian legion to activate the Planet Origin Force Array... to conduct a thorough search, which will definitely reveal it."


    "No need."


    "First, continue surveillance," Dongfang Ji said softly, "Didn''t Yu Jinghe say that Li Yuan survived and even gained great benefits?"


    "Let''s wait for Li Yuan to return."


    "Then question him and probe," Dongfang Ji slowly said, "Everyone has secrets. He has exceptional talent, and his opportunities far surpass Fang Hai''s... If used well, perhaps a remarkable being will emerge in our Seven Stars Civilization."


    "But if not well-controlled... I don''t want to bring harm to the Seven Stars Civilization," Dongfang Ji shook his head, "You speak of thorough investigation, but what if there are God Level powers among this hidden force? Could the guardian legion withstand it?"


    "My journey by warship to there will also take several days."


    The area of void became quiet.


    After a while, the deep voice finally said, "Master, I was wrong, my consideration was insufficient."


    "I understand your concerns, wanting to control the situation, eliminate all uncontrollable factors," Dongfang Ji said softly, "But the more talented, the less controllable."


    "Those you can easily monitor, like Duanmu Hong, like San Ye, do you expect them to ascend to god? Can you confidently entrust the Seven Stars Civilization to them?" Dongfang Ji shook his head, "And like Fang Hai, can you monitor him?"


    Silence fell on the source of that voice.


    "Go then, keep a close watch on Li Yuan''s movements," Dongfang Ji instructed, "Also keep an eye on the Wanhan Star Realm... you used the ''Mothership Mainframe'' to deduce that the time of appearance should be within the next year or two, right?"


    "Yes."


    "I will keep watch, and once there is any situation, I will notify Fang Hai at once, and have him go there."


    ...


    Ming Xu Star Realm, at the core of the mothership.


    Inside the Temple.


    "It''s almost ready." The lone, robust Phantom loomed over the nearly dried-up Divine Pool, observing Li Yuan, whose spiritual essence had grown significantly weak.


    Clearly, the drain of the last three months had greatly affected both Li Yuan''s body and soul.


    In stark contrast to Li Yuan''s feeble aura was the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, over ten meters in diameter, releasing an aura much stronger than before.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun waved his hand.


    An array of bizarre, fluctuating blood-red Secret Runes appeared above Li Yuan and the giant egg, congregating into a vast, unique pattern.


    "Li Yuan!" Qiu Bingzun spoke in a low voice, "Bloodline compatibility, get ready."


    Li Yuan opened his eyes and looked up at the vast blood-red pattern, which emitted an ancient, profound aura.


    Li Yuan could sense a ripple of intent emanating from it¡ª a Covenant!


    This was a contract.


    Summoned by the Great Dao!


    Boom~ The massive blood-red pattern slowly descended, with one end landing on Li Yuan and the other on the giant egg, followed by countless blood-red Phantoms flying out and merging into both.


    "Merge." Li Yuan did not resist as these strange forces flowed into his body.


    They subtly merged with both his body and soul.


    As time passed, the massive blood-red pattern gradually faded, and Li Yuan faintly sensed life fluctuations coming from the egg¡­ an invisible connection had been established between them.


    A natural closeness.


    "Master... master?" A slightly immature voice resonated in Li Yuan''s mind.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The powerful, vibrant green giant egg suddenly cracked open, revealing a huge body harbored within¡ª a large Green Snake, coiled inside.


    At first glance, it seemed indistinguishable from ordinary Flying Serpents.


    However, upon closer inspection, its scales were crystal clear, its wings and claws as if masterfully crafted¡­ all radiating a vigorous life essence.


    The more one observed, the more extraordinary the Flying Serpent appeared.


    Beautiful!


    It was the most beautiful Flying Serpent Li Yuan had ever seen; even the Flying Heaven Level Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperors couldn''t match the aura of this green snake.


    "[Target life, Life Level 29.9]" Li Yuan promptly conducted a Divine Palace Exploration, feeling inwardly surprised.


    Born at the Second Rank Limit of life?


    Whoosh!


    The Green Snake''s spiritual eyes shifted, and it swiftly came to face Li Yuan. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire


    It wrapped its massive wings around Li Yuan, seemingly embracing him, yet its head was lowered as if lying in front of him.


    "Master."


    The Green Snake looked at Li Yuan, its youthful voice echoing in Li Yuan''s mind again: "I have finally met you. Before, I could only sense your presence."


    This was a soul communication.


    "A female?" Li Yuan sensed something was off.


    But at the same time, when the Green Snake drew near, Li Yuan felt an unprecedented closeness, as if facing his own child.


    This was due to the blood covenant.


    And more so because Li Yuan had nurtured it with his own blood and Divine Consciousness Power.


    "Li Yuan."


    Qiu Bingzun landed slowly, smiling at the scene: "Congratulations, it was successful."


    "Xiao Bing, I finally witnessed the day you were born." Qiu Bingzun, too, was quite moved as he watched the Green Snake, sighing, "It''s just unfortunate that I shall never see this myself."


    "I will not forget Elder Qiu''s deeds," said the Green Snake softly, her voice clear and melodious, yet tinged with sadness.


    Li Yuan watched the scene, stunned.


    "Li Yuan, don''t be surprised."


    "How powerful is the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent? Even before they are born, they have a faint consciousness, capable of sensing the outside world," Qiu Bingzun explained with a smile. "Over the past twenty thousand years, Xiao Bing has been aware of many events outside. I often tried to communicate with her¡­ of course, her consciousness was very vague until she was born and truly developed spiritual wisdom."


    "But the many past experiences will also be vague memories."


    "You should not treat her as a child."


    "She possesses many inherited memories. Her horizon and insight in many respects might far surpass yours," declared Qiu Bingzun.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, his heart filled with wonder.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, undoubtedly one of the strongest Divine Beasts in the Divine Realm, truly incredible.


    "You are called Xiao Bing?" Li Yuan looked at the Green Snake.


    "Master, my real name is Liu Bing, a name I chose for myself."


    "Liu is the most prestigious surname within our Heaven Snake lineage."


    "Bing is to honor ''Elder Qiu''; without him, there would be no me." The Green Snake''s spiritual eyes looked at Li Yuan earnestly. "Given time, if I grow to the Peak of True God, then as per the customs of my Heaven Snake lineage, I may add the title ''Zun'' to my name."


    "Liu Bingzun?" Li Yuan murmured softly.


    He immediately realized that Qiu Bingzun''s real name must have been "Qiu Bing."

 Chapter 327 The Gift of the Venerable (Seeking Basic Monthly Votes at the Beginning of the Month)

    "Alright, from now on, I will call you Little Ice," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan knew that, although Liu Bing addressed him as ''master'', the ''bloodline contract'' they had formed was one of equality, and he couldn''t force her to do anything.


    Had it been a true ''servant contract,'' it would have involved planting prohibitions and the ability to torment the other party.


    If it were soul control, that would be even more overbearing, with the servant worshipping the master from the heart.


    Now, Liu Bing''s behavior was not out of subservience but a sense of dependency due to their bloodline affinity and the fact that she had just been born.


    Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    But she was not a true subordinate.


    Furthermore, Li Yuan genuinely liked Liu Bing and instinctively refused to treat her as a servant.


    He saw Liu Bing more like a younger sister.


    "Okay," the Green Snake nodded vigorously, apparently quite pleased.


    "Little Ice, shrink your body," said Qiu Bingzun with a smile. "If you maintain your original size, it won''t be easy for Li Yuan to carry you when going to the human world."


    "Okay," Liu Bing nodded rapidly, and her body quickly shrank, her wings and claws retracting, making her look like a real little green snake.


    She then quickly coiled around Li Yuan''s arm.


    Only a small, delicate snakehead peeked out from his sleeve, appearing quite exquisite and lovely.


    "Such a versatile transformation, how impressive," Li Yuan exclaimed in admiration. Like his own use of the ''All Things Divine Body'' that could enlarge his form.


    But to shrink like this? He couldn''t do it.


    "This is the innate talent of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, and because Little Ice has cultivated the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique ''Heavenly Wind Divine Body'' to perfection, she can change her body like this," Qiu Bingzun explained. "She can shrink as well as enlarge, but the larger her form, the more Origin Power it consumes."


    "Nine Layer Star Technique?" Li Yuan was astonished.


    "Master, I have only just cultivated this body refining star technique to the First Rank Limit," Liu Bing added quickly. "The other two Nine Layer Star Techniques ''Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Solution'' and ''Sky-Cleaving Wings,'' I have also only cultivated to the First Rank Limit."


    Li Yuan was even more amazed.


    Three Nine Layer Star Techniques?


    "Don''t be surprised," said Qiu Bingzun with a sense of awe. "As one of the strongest Divine Beasts within the Divine Realm from the Wind Vein... Little Ice''s talent is beyond your imagination. She was born at the Second Rank Limit and possesses Sixth Stage Perfection in technique comprehension."


    "And she awoke with Seven Star Veins."


    "Moreover, she has awakened three Perfect Star Veins... Combined with her inherited techniques, she often cultivates the three Nine Layer Star Techniques to a primary stage before she is born."


    "She is naturally in harmony with the Wind Law. Normally, it would take her a thousand years to reach the True God Peak in comprehension, which is the slowest growth rate, but with ''Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Solution,'' her chances of becoming a Heavenly God increase, and her progress will be even faster, often reaching True God Peak within a few hundred years," Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan understood. This essentially meant that Liu Bing''s already extraordinary aptitude for Enlightenment had been further enhanced.


    "''Heavenly Wind Divine Body'' is the Supreme Body Refining Star Technique that suits her best."


    "''Sky-Cleaving Wings'' is the Supreme Escaping Method Star Technique she has cultivated to complement her wings, making her speed almost instantaneous... She will likely be able to Travel the Void and touch upon the Space Law in the future."


    Qiu Bingzun introduced them one by one, finally smiling, "When Little Ice has cultivated all three star techniques to the Second Rank Limit, Spirit Gun, in a life or death battle, you might not necessarily be her match." S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was deeply shocked.


    It was too exaggerated.


    Truly worthy of being one of the strongest Divine Beasts of the Divine Realm, it''s no wonder she was destined to grow to the True God Peak, and even have a certain chance to ascend to Heavenly God.


    This was simply the most perfect talent and star technique pairing of the Wind Vein.


    "Master,"


    "Qiu Elder has told me that your talent is only higher, not lower compared to mine; it simply needs further exploration," Liu Bing said. "Moreover, Seven Star Veins and three Nine Layer Star Veins are the limits of my bloodline... If I want to become a Heavenly God and rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan, these alone are not enough."


    Listening to this, Li Yuan thought his own talent was higher?


    He had awakened three Perfect Star Veins, which did seem stronger... but he had also cultivated diligently from a young age, using the abilities of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and only now had he awakened Six Star Veins.


    But Little Ice, she was truly innately talented!


    She was born at a Semi Divine Level of comprehension and could probably reach the Threshold of the Law with just a little bit of Cultivation.


    "Li Yuan, Little Ice, both of you have extremely high talents and the potential to become Heavenly Gods," Qiu Bingzun said softly. "But talent is just the foundation; you also need to work hard and grind yourself."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, but if a smart bird works just as hard, flying faster and more determinedly, then the early bird could never keep up.


    On the path of Cultivation, to become a superior power!


    Talent, opportunity, luck, effort... none of these four can be neglected.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, Qiu Bingzun waved his hand, and the Divine Palace around them trembled. The scenes around them rapidly collapsed, as if space itself was compressing... until all merged into a blue sphere, which continued to shrink to the size of a thumb, like a marble.


    "This?" Li Yuan looked at the blue sphere, then glanced around, seeing only emptiness around the three of them.


    It was as if the center of the Mothership had been hollowed out.


    "Little Ice, you first enter the ''Heavenly Snake Hall'' and continue cultivating your three star techniques," Qiu Bingzun spoke softly. "I have something to tell Li Yuan."


    "Okay," Liu Bing nodded and with a flicker of movement, flew from Li Yuan''s arm into the blue sphere.


    She vanished from sight.


    "A Cave Heaven Treasure?" Li Yuan''s eyes flickered with astonishment. The Ancient Divine Palace was a Cave Heaven Treasure.


    Capable of containing vast spaces within a tiny area.


    "Yes, this object is known as the Heavenly Snake Hall, and I will let Little Ice refine it and take it with her for convenience in her Cultivation," Qiu Bingzun said. "Until she becomes a True God, the normal requirements for her Cultivation, including the Exotic Treasures required for practicing many star techniques, are all contained within, so you need not worry too much... I will arrange everything."


    Li Yuan nodded, feeling relieved in his heart.


    If all the needs for Xiaobing''s cultivation were to be arranged by oneself... the cost would indeed be great.


    Qiu Bingzun had thought everything through very thoroughly.


    "Of course, not all treasures are relinquished. If she is fortunate enough to awaken the Eight Star Vein, or even the fourth Nine Layer Star Vein, allowing her to cultivate more Supreme Star Techniques... if there is hope, I''d also wish you to help her as much as possible," Qiu Bingzun said.


    "Senior, rest assured."


    "If there is an opportunity, I will do my utmost to help Xiaobing," Li Yuan solemnly said, it was a thought from the depths of his heart.


    Qiu Bingzun smiled.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, nearly a hundred lustrous jade stones materialized in front of him.


    "I said I would give you a generous gift." Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. "These are the Inheritance Crystal Stones I have prepared for you. You may take a look at some of them now."


    "Okay." Li Yuan nodded and with a thought, his Divine Sense released, sensing these crystal stones.


    Boom! A flood of information surged into Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Divine Realm Basics," "All-Encompassing Knowledge," "Treasure Appraisal Knowledge," "Brief of Origin Power Weapons"... Nine Layer Star Techniques "Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Explanation," "Heavenly Wind Divine Body," "Heavenly God Feather," "Myriad Shadows Void"...


    Li Yuan silently sensed them, feeling astounded in his heart.


    Among these crystal stones, there was a vast amount of fundamental information about making one''s way in the Divine Realm. Although they seemed unimpressive, they were extremely important, and with these stones, one could fully understand the Divine Realm... ensuring that one would not be completely in the dark upon entering the Divine Realm in the future.


    So-called vision is insight.


    To enhance one''s insight is through one''s experiences or by learning from the experiences of predecessors.


    However, just to read through these Inheritance Crystal Stones would be quick for Li Yuan.


    To memorize them all would be even more difficult.


    Aside from these fundamental information stones, the rest were mostly Star Techniques, a total of four Nine Layer Star Techniques, with more than fifty Seventh Layer and Sixth Layer Star Techniques, all of which could be cultivated up to the Sixth Rank True Divine level... the quantity was overwhelming.


    It could be said that from now on, in the aspect of Wind Vein Star Techniques, Li Yuan could freely choose the ones suitable for himself.


    "These are the basics."


    "The most precious is this ''Inheritance Imprint,''" Qiu Bingzun once again handed over a crystal-clear stone, which was quite different from the other Inheritance Crystal Stones.


    It seemed more mysterious.


    A complex look flashed in Qiu Bingzun''s eyes, "I have infused all the insights from my lifetime of cultivation into this Inheritance Imprint... it should last for a very long time."


    "Remember, if you sense it superficially, although the cultivation effect will be much less, it will consume much less of the imprint''s power."


    "But if you resonate with ''Consciousness Resonance,'' it will greatly consume the spiritual imprint contained within, and I estimate it will last at most ten times," Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. "How you want to use it is up to you."


    Inheritance Imprint?


    Li Yuan gently took the crystal stone, he couldn''t help but think of the ''Martial God Inheritance'' from the Martial Divine Star Realm; it seemed similar.


    However, the ''Divine Being Inheritances'' in the Martial Divine Star Realm were from Fifth Rank Divine Beings.


    Whereas Qiu Bingzun''s Inheritance Imprint belonged to the True God Peak level, incomparable to the former.


    ...


    "In addition to the inheritance."


    "I have prepared three treasures for you," Qiu Bingzun said, gently pushing with his hand, a Storage Treasure flew towards Li Yuan, "This first one is for now."


    "The second one, when Xiaobing becomes a Demigod, you will receive it upon breaking the seal in the Heavenly Snake Hall."


    "The third one, however, you will have to wait until Xiaobing ascends to Divine Being," said Qiu Bingzun. "I hope you can understand."


    "The Exalted One has considered everything," Li Yuan said.


    This was probably because he worried that if Li Yuan received all the treasures now, he might neglect Liu Bing.


    Li Yuan also received the Storage Treasure and put away both the Inheritance Crystal Stones and the Inheritance Imprint he had just received.


    ."..Additionally."


    "I will grant you ''Mothership'' second-level authority," Qiu Bingzun said. "You can freely enter and leave the mothership and use its ''Scouting Function'' to sense the entire Mingxu Star Realm... you can also activate the mothership''s attack mode, and as long as the target is within the Mingxu Star Realm, you can strike to kill."


    Li Yuan''s heart was joyous. Quite powerful indeed.


    It was unfortunate that the entire mothership had crashed and was somewhat suppressed by the core power of the Star Realm... Were it able to fly, the entire Seven Star Civilization would possess a great weapon.


    But even if the mothership could not move,


    such authority allowed him to easily sweep through the entire Mingxu Star Realm.


    For entities like the Tianliang Civilization, the Mingxu Beast Clan, and others within teh Mingxu Star Realm, if he desired to carry out slaughter... it would be effortless.


    ...


    After some more conversation, Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, I have told you everything that needed to be told. From now on, it''s up to you and Liu Bing... I am already dead and ultimately, I am but a Spiritual Imprint, unable to help you."


    "Hope."


    "Both of you may ultimately ascend to Heavenly God," Qiu Bingzun said. "And rebuild our Heavenly Serpent Clan."


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun''s Phantom dissipated, leaving only the thumb-sized ''Heavenly Snake Hall.''


    Li Yuan reached out, took the Heavenly Snake Hall into his possession, and communicated with Xiaobing to make it shrink further, like a speck of dust, hiding it within his battle suit.


    "Mothership authority."


    "Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor... you are all here." Li Yuan could sense their locations.


    "First to complete the ''Soul Nine Refinements,'' then I will go to control them one by one."

 Chapter 328 Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid

    With Li Yuan''s current Second Level authority within the mothership, only subordinate to Qiu Bingzun and the training officers, he could easily confirm the location of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and his group using Inquiry methods.


    Furthermore, with the mobilization of "Mothership Energy," killing the most powerful Myriad Scales Beast Emperor would be a breeze.


    "Sweeping through the Mingxu Beast Clan would also be easy."


    "However, I can''t possibly stay in the Mingxu Star Realm forever, once I advance to Flying Heaven Level and Liu Bing also breaks through to Third Rank, we won''t be able to return to Mingxu Star Realm, and thus we won''t be able to utilize the power of the mothership," Li Yuan thought to himself. "By then, if we want to defend Mingxu Star Realm, we can still only rely on the Seven Star Civilization itself."


    The venerable ones would be willing to help him, help Liu Bing.


    But they may not necessarily be willing to concern themselves with the other powerhouses of the Seven Star Civilization who will be stationed in the Star Realm in the future.


    Therefore, he had to strive for a permanent solution to the problem.


    "Enslavement!"


    "Enslave the Beast Emperor, making them lead a large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings to fend off the future invasions of the Tianliang Civilization," Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly. "With the strength of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, along with some of my assistance, there is hope for him to break through to Semi-Divine in the future."


    Once they became servants, it wouldn''t matter if Li Yuan couldn''t return; they would loyally carry out the orders Li Yuan left behind.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s figure moved, swiftly leaving the empty area... With the Heavenly Snake Hall taken up, the space became hollow, but it also revealed many passageways.


    Following one of the passageways, Li Yuan directly entered one of the Quiet Cultivation Rooms.


    The Quiet Chamber was as bright as daylight and contained many Jade Platforms.


    Exhaling, Li Yuan casually chose a Jade Platform to sit on and with a thought, he activated his authority and closed the cabin.


    "Condense!" Li Yuan pointed to the void, and instantly two light screens appeared, each displaying a figure.


    One was the massive figure of the ''Myriad Scales Beast Emperor,'' resembling the legendary Fire Kirin.


    The other was ''Xue Yan,'' dressed in a black robe, seriously holding a Combat Saber, deeply engrossed in cultivation.


    "These two guys are still foolishly cultivating? Trying to pass the Fifth Layer challenges to reach the Inner Core?" Li Yuan shook his head inwardly. "Even for Xue Yan, it would probably take several years to get through the Fifth Layer challenges."


    The challenges left behind by Qiu Bingzun were not so easily overcome.


    Snap~


    He closed the two light screens.


    "First, I''ll use the treasure gifted by Qiu Bingzun to try to gain entry to the ''Soul Nine Refinements'' Method," Li Yuan thought to himself, taking out an Inheritance Crystal Stone from his palm.


    Among the nearly a hundred Inheritance Crystal Stones gifted by Qiu Bingzun, aside from the various cultivation knowledge and Star Techniques, many were various secret techniques... Although these secret techniques did not directly enhance combat power like Star Techniques, many secret techniques were valued even higher than Supreme Star Techniques.


    For example ¡ª "Soul Nine Refinements."


    "Hum~" Li Yuan''s consciousness penetrated it, and a flood of information surged into his mind, all concerning the cultivation methods of "Soul Nine Refinements."


    Incredibly profound, making Li Yuan marvel.


    After a long time, even with Li Yuan''s strong spiritual power, he barely managed to memorize "Soul Nine Refinements" completely.


    But that was just memorization; cultivating it was still as difficult as ascending to heaven.


    "The creator of this Method was truly formidable, probably one of the powerful Heavenly Divine," Li Yuan thought to himself. "No wonder Qiu Bingzun placed such importance on this Method."


    "Soul Nine Refinements" consists of four parts: Semi-Divine Chapter, Pseudo-God Chapter, True God Chapter, Heavenly God Chapter... Normally, only a Semi-Divine Peak Expert would have a chance to gain entry.


    Because, usually only Semi-Divine Peak Experts would have sufficiently high research on the soul... Like a Flying Heaven Level life, most only crudely utilize Divine Sense. To cultivate this kind of Soul Secret Technique? If not careful, it could even lead to a collapse of their own spirit.


    Once "Soul Nine Refinements" was perfected, it would allow control of up to nine strong beings of the same rank with minimal impact on oneself!!


    Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire


    For instance, cultivating the ''Pseudo-God Chapter'' would enable one to control and enslave nine Pseudo-Gods.


    At the same time, it wouldn''t put an additional burden on one''s own soul, which is very important.


    After all, the soul is the foundation of life, and enslaving other powerhouses is aimed at strengthening one''s own forces, but if it affects the soul and cultivation, the gains do not outweigh the losses.


    Of course, like cultivating into the ''Pseudo-God Chapter'' and then controlling Semi-Divine beings would have an even smaller impact, controlling dozens of them wouldn''t stack up to the impact of controlling a single Pseudo-God.


    "Fifth Rank treasure, Divine Soul Liquid," Li Yuan flipped his palm again, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.


    Gently opening it, Li Yuan felt as if his spiritual power was leaping with joy.


    Like a starving person encountering a substantial nourishment. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A normal Flying Heaven Level soul can''t cultivate the "Soul Nine Refinements," so what to do? Use external aids!!


    The first treasure gifted to Li Yuan by Qiu Bingzun was two things¡ªa unit of Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid and 50 Fangshen Crystals of the Five Elements Divine Crystal.


    "50 Fangshen Five Elements Divine Crystals are worth 5 million Seven Stars Points," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Plus the 10 Fangshen Five Elements Divine Crystals gifted by the Wind System Alien God, I''ve now acquired a total of 60 Fangshen Divine Crystals."


    Divine Crystals, even within the Divine Realm, were a hard currency; Divine beings conducted transactions using Divine Crystals.


    A Semi Divine Artifact would typically cost between 0.1 and 1 Fangshen.


    And a Fifth Layer Divine Artifact, depending on its use, typically costs between 10 and 500 Fangshen.


    In short, the Divine Crystals that Li Yuan had acquired could be exchanged for a decent Divine Artifact.


    However!!


    In terms of value alone, these 60 Fangshen Divine Crystals did not compare to this one unit of Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid.


    "According to some introductions in common knowledge, the so-called Divine Soul Liquid is refined by some Soul Masters in the Divine Realm after hunting down divine powerhouses, extracting the essence of their souls," Li Yuan inwardly sighed. "It can nourish the cultivator''s soul, aiding in its growth."


    "The most crucial point is, once used, it allows some weaker beings'' souls to temporarily possess the characteristics of this level of Divine Soul Liquid... enabling them to cultivate many Soul Secret Techniques that are normally difficult to practice."


    "Or in combat, by using Divine Soul Liquid, one can also temporarily boost the power of the soul, greatly increasing the power of Soul Secret Techniques in action... In short, its uses are manifold," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having received the legacy bestowed by Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan''s perspective and knowledge had become far beyond what they once were.


    In the vast Divine Realm, full of mystery and splendor, there were innumerable exotic treasures.


    But Li Yuan could also glimpse the dangers contained within the Divine Realm.


    "Pseudo-God Soul Liquid," Li Yuan stared at the jade bottle, behind which lay the fall of a Fifth Rank Deity.


    The ''soul'' of a Fifth Rank Deity could produce many portions of ''Pseudo-God Soul Liquid''... its value was also extraordinarily astonishing.


    "Whew!"


    With a thought, Li Yuan fully opened his soul and began to absorb the strange power of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid in the bottle with all his might.


    The Divine Soul Liquid was not a real liquid, but a formless power... only by reaching the Flying Heaven Level could one sense and absorb it with Divine Sense.


    "Fortunately, it''s Pseudo-God Soul Liquid," Li Yuan thought to himself. "If it were True God Soul Liquid, even with my spiritual power, I couldn''t withstand it at all. Even absorbing a trace could result in my soul shattering."


    The True God Soul Liquid was worth more than a thousand times that of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid, and its efficacy was heaven-defying.


    Time passed by.


    Hiss hiss~ Li Yuan continued to absorb the power of the ''Pseudo-God Soul Liquid.''


    "[Your spiritual power has broken through from level 37.3 to 37.4]" A prompt from the Divine Palace flashed by.


    The Pseudo-God Soul Liquid could nurture the soul.


    But the key was that Li Yuan felt his spirit become empty and ethereal. At this moment, he seemed to control every ounce of his soul''s power with meticulous subtlety, surpassing the past by tens or hundreds of times.


    "Is this what it feels like for a Pseudo-God powerhouse to control their soul?" Li Yuan marveled.


    With the help of such a supreme treasure, one could catch a glimpse of the power of a Deity.


    "Cherish the time."


    "The first step, soul splitting." Li Yuan didn''t dare waste the power of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid and immediately began cultivating "Soul Nine Refinements."


    Qiu Bingzun had left him this legacy.


    Once wasted, before heading to the Divine Realm, it would be nearly impossible to get such precious items again.


    ...


    As Li Yuan began cultivating "Soul Nine Refinements," in another control cabin of the Civilization Mothership.


    The layout here was quite similar to that of the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    "My lord."


    The Phantom of the Black Snake couldn''t help but say, "Are you truly planning to enter the Heavenly Snake Hall and guide the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent all the way there? But that way, you will be leaving the source of the mothership and probably won''t survive for long."


    Even the spiritual imprints left by a True God are not immortal; they require constant external support.


    "The power of the Heavenly Snake Hall can also support me," Qiu Bingzun said with a faint smile. "Besides."


    "I have already fallen. I am not truly alive. What point is there in continuing to barely exist on the mothership?"


    The Phantom of the Black Snake fell silent.


    "Liu Bing has pinned her hopes on me."


    "Transferring to the Heavenly Snake Hall, I might be able to survive for a few hundred years, but it can spare her from taking many detours," Qiu Bingzun said with a hint of resolve in his eyes. "It may also increase her chances of ascending to Heavenly God status by a considerable margin."


    "These years have been hard on you."


    "From now on, you shall have complete control over the mothership," Qiu Bingzun said to the Phantom of the Black Snake.


    "Yes, my lord," responded the Phantom of the Black Snake, sensing Qiu Bingzun''s resolve and no longer trying to persuade him.


    Whoosh~


    The towering figure with a single horn dissipated with a smile, followed by the Phantom of the Black Snake feeling a powerful spiritual imprint in the essence of the mothership fading away rapidly.


    "The lord''s obsession is to train Liu Bing to ascend to Heavenly God and rebuild our Heavenly Serpent Clan, even if it means erasing his last trace from the world, he faces it calmly," the Phantom of the Black Snake thought sadly. "What about me?"


    "What is the value of my existence? To guard this mothership forever?"


    ...


    In the Quiet Chamber where Li Yuan was cultivating, he didn''t notice at all... Hiss~ A strange power had silently permeated the ''Heavenly Snake Hall'' hidden within his battle suit.


    ...


    The Heavenly Snake Hall, vast and boundless, was in no way inferior to the Ancient Divine Palace, and perhaps even more advanced.


    Whoosh~


    The towering figure with a single horn materialized. Not far away, a slender Green Snake rested coiled up.


    "Senior Qiu," Liu Bing was quite excited. "You''ve come."


    Because of bloodline and pacts, she liked Li Yuan from the bottom of her heart and was willing to listen to him.


    But her bond with Qiu Bingzun was built on profound emotions accumulated over long years.


    "Ha-ha."


    "Little Bing, I''ve come to the Heavenly Snake Hall not to continue chatting and talking idly with you as in the past, but to supervise your cultivation," Qiu Bingzun said earnestly.


    "I understand," Liu Bing nodded repeatedly.


    "You have extraordinary talent, destined to reach the peak of a True God, but you must realize one thing: bloodline is an advantage, but it is also a restraint," Qiu Bingzun said seriously.

 Chapter 2)

    "Bloodline, is it a chain?" a hint of confusion flashed in Green Snake''s eyes.


    She had inherited memories and information left by Qiu Bingzun, coupled with her past twenty thousand years of vague memories¡­ but after all, she had just been born, many pieces of knowledge had not yet fully transformed into cognition.


    "You look at your elder brother," Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, "He is a rare talent among the billions of Human Race beings. He reached Second Rank Limit by the age of twenty with ease... but he certainly also experienced many difficulties."


    "For example, for your birth, he endured three months of Divine Sense tearing pain. If it were you, could you endure it?"


    Green Snake couldn''t help shaking her head.


    She knew of Li Yuan''s sacrifices and was even more aware of the tormenting pain¡­ She asked herself and doubted she could persevere.


    "The soul can grow easily; some treasures can make it grow quickly."


    "But the growth of the heart and mind can only rely on time, relying on events to polish it one by one," Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. "Your soul has also reached Flying Heaven Peak... but your willpower is only at Second Rank Limit." Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire


    "Your elder brother? His willpower is probably almost near the Semi-Divine level," Qiu Bingzun said with emotion. "This is incredible."


    Green Snake listened attentively.


    "Think about it, he is only 20 years old now and has grown from weak to strong."


    "If a Human Race powerhouse, without the enhancement of a bloodline, goes through ten thousand years of trials and tribulations and cultivates to the True God Peak, how strong is his mental and willpower?" Qiu Bingzun said. "If you just rely on your bloodline and idly become True God Peak, can you compare with those powerhouses?"


    "No comparison," Green Snake shook her head.


    "Those born in lowly circumstances who can grow up are one in a million," Qiu Bingzun reflected. "But those who manage to grow up are often the most terrifying."


    "Like those at the pinnacle within the Divine Realm, many have grown step by step from the Unranked."


    "And like you, Little Ice, if you just drift along without effort, your cultivation will become weaker as you proceed," Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. "Because your strength has come too easily, too effortlessly."


    "So, once the power of your bloodline is exhausted and you need to rely completely on yourself... it will be difficult," Qiu Bingzun said gravely.


    Green Snake nodded, "Elder Qiu, what should I do?"


    "Strive!"


    "Bloodline gives you a starting point that surpasses countless lives, so you should strive even harder," Qiu Bingzun said earnestly. "You were born with Seven Star Veins; hence, you should strive to attack Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven phase."


    "Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall."


    "I have prepared many training grounds for you, some of which are even life-threatening¡­ If you can persevere, I believe you will surpass most of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpents," Qiu Bingzun said. "It is just unknown whether you can achieve it."


    "I can!"


    "And I want to rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan with my elder brother," Green Snake said softly, her spirited eyes shining. "I also seek revenge¡­" to avenge the deceased clansmen."


    The more than twenty thousand years of vague memories made Green Snake roughly aware of past events.


    She also understood the responsibilities she carried.


    "Good," Qiu Bingzun nodded with satisfaction. "Then for now, go and cultivate the Star Technique. Once you have cultivated three Star Techniques to the Second Rank Limit, I will start your special training."


    "Train movement technique."


    "Comprehend the True Meaning of Wind."


    "Temper willpower."


    "Engage in actual combat."


    "None of these are dispensable," Qiu Bingzun was well aware that in the upcoming brutal training, Liu Bing would likely face moments of being tortured to breakdown, after all, she was just a newly born little one...


    But as long as she kept persevering, just persevere!


    Looking back after hundreds of years, Liu Bing would likely have undergone a startling transformation.


    ¡­


    Even with the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid.


    But Li Yuan''s research on the soul was ultimately superficial.


    Therefore, it took him almost half a month before he finally began to grasp the "Soul Nine Refinements" ''Semi-Divine Chapter''.


    In the blink of an eye, time had come to the beginning of March 2046.


    Inside that quiet chamber of the mothership.


    "Cultivating this secret technique is much more troublesome than cultivating a Star Technique," Li Yuan shook his head inwardly: "I have only just achieved minor success."


    Li Yuan estimated that if a Semi-Divine Peak expert were to practice it, with an almost divine soul and the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid, they could probably fully master the ''Semi-Divine Chapter'' in one go.


    "However, just to enslave some Flying Heaven level beings, the ''Soul Nine Refinements'' that''s just getting started is sufficient," Li Yuan sensed his mental consciousness.


    Compared to the past, it had become much more agile, and its power concentration was also much stronger¡­ Practicing the "Soul Nine Refinements" also significantly boosted his soul attack and soul defense from before.


    "The growth of spiritual power is an unexpected joy," Li Yuan sensed the unprecedented strength of his spiritual power, as his gaze also swept over the Divine Palace panel¡­ spiritual power at level 38.8.


    It is known that before using the Divine Soul Liquid, Li Yuan''s Divine Sense had been weakened after three months of depletion, becoming very feeble¡­ But in just this short half a month, not only had Li Yuan''s past injuries fully recovered, but he had also progressed further.


    "I previously thought that even with the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,'' during the Prime Warrior phase, it would probably only grow to around level 39, and it would be extremely difficult to transform into the Semi-Divine level," Li Yuan mused inwardly. "Now it seems that in another year or two, I should be able to reach 39.9 level."


    "Perhaps."


    "I could try to strike for Semi-Divine level spiritual power during the Prime Warrior phase," Li Yuan''s eyes held a glimmer of light.


    Semi-Divine level spiritual power would accelerate Li Yuan''s comprehension of the mysteries of the heaven and earth.


    At the same time, it would also further raise the maximum limit of his Spiritual Awakening; perhaps he could advance to 70% or even 75%.


    "The growth of the mental body, the comprehension of True Intent, will make my awakening of the Star Meridian even faster."


    "At the same time, there is hope to initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times," Li Yuan pondered inwardly. "If I can initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times, there is a great chance that I will awaken to the Eight Star Veins during the Prime Warrior stage."


    Purely relying on myself? Li Yuan was fairly confident in breaking through to the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior, but the Eight Star Veins were difficult¡ªprobably not until reaching the Flying Heaven Level or even the Semi-Divine Level would there be hope.


    In the past, Li Yuan had simply set his goal on ''Eight Star Veins.''


    However, after encountering Qiu Bingzun and understanding the vast expanse of heaven and earth, the significance of the Eight Star Veins became clearer, and Li Yuan''s yearning grew even stronger.


    "Perhaps I should first achieve the Seven Star Veins, and then at the Flying Heaven or Semi-Divine Levels, I could further awaken the Eight Star Veins," Li Yuan pondered inwardly. "The earlier the breakthrough, the better."


    If the Eight Star Veins could be achieved early on,


    then at the Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine Levels, every single Star Vein could be strengthened.


    The Eight Star Veins, among the countless powerful beings of the Divine Realm, were already considered an unparalleled genius. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    What kind of genius would one be with Eight Star Veins, plus four or even five Perfect Star Veins?


    "Let''s go!"


    "It''s time to act." With a thought, Li Yuan used his authority to directly open the Quiet Chamber.


    Swoosh!


    He transformed into a streak of light, soaring along the metallic corridors, heading straight for the testing grounds where Xue Yan was.


    "It''s not far, I can arrive in six minutes," Li Yuan knew precisely where Xue Yan was.


    ...


    Inside an enormous secret chamber within the mothership''s inner layer,


    "This damn trial is really difficult!" The Black Garment Youth ''Xue Yan'' stared at the distant massive stone wall which was covered in a multitude of Secret Runes that came together to form various patterns.


    In front of Xue Yan, similar Mark patterns were being condensed with Origin Power.


    "With my True Intent at the High Rank, condensing this divine seal is still so tough. What could possibly be hidden in the core of this inner layer to make it so difficult?" Xue Yan frowned.


    After more than five months in the mothership, he was quite anxious inside.


    But anxiety was pointless.


    He could either give up or continue striving.


    "Focus and strive."


    "The core of this inner layer may very well contain treasures left behind by a True God," Xue Yan pondered inwardly. "In the history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, we only managed to birth a single True God, yet the foundation left by these gods allowed for the continuous emergence of Pseudo-Gods in our civilization, making it one of the strong civilizations within the Dimensional Domain... A treasure left by a True God is unimaginable."


    As an Inner Sect Disciple of a Divine, even at Second Rank, his vision was extraordinarily high.


    "Boom!" The massive door to the secret chamber suddenly opened.


    "Huh?"


    Xue Yan was puzzled and turned to look, only to see a figure clad in black battle suit standing behind the door, with an indistinct face.


    Only a pair of eyes stared coldly at him.


    "Second Rank? How can there be such a strong aura?" Xue Yan was shocked and stood up on guard, eyeing Li Yuan.


    Although Li Yuan''s body had reached level 30, his Sea of Origin Power did not possess an Origin Pill¡­ This pill, when condensed, would create a special force field and aura around the body, which are the signs of a Third Rank Life.


    "Who are you?" Xue Yan asked warily, not daring to make any rash moves.


    The incident happened too abruptly; just moments ago, he was receiving an inheritance. According to the Alien God Envoy, he should not be disturbed before the time was up... Xue Yan was completely bewildered.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan made his move directly; in the instant he acted, his body transformed into a height of five meters.


    He directly deployed his Body Refining Star Technique! Bursting out with full power!


    "Not good." Xue Yan''s face turned pale, realizing that the visitor meant harm. With incredibly fast reflexes, he immediately erupted into action.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan couldn''t be bothered to use his Black Chen Spear. He struck Xue Yan directly and then harshly slapped out a palm so fast that even Xue Yan¡ªa ''Divine Child Level genius''¡ªcould not dodge in time and had to instinctively swing his Combat Saber in defense.


    "Bang~"


    The palm struck the Combat Saber, and the terrifying force swept through it... The Combat Saber was flung away, and Xue Yan himself was smacked flying.


    "Bang!!" Xue Yan crashed against the nearby metal wall hard, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood with force.


    With one palm, Xue Yan was severely injured.


    A flicker of terror flashed across his eyes as he stared at the cold and Godlike figure standing not far away.


    "Who... who on earth are you?" Xue Yan asked, his voice low and teeth gritted.


    He felt that the other party was not intent on killing him; otherwise, he would have already been dead following that first palm strike.


    Suddenly,


    Xue Yan seemed to realize something and almost lost his voice, "Are you the Spirit Gun from the Seven Star Civilization? Have you already gained the treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine?"


    In the brief moment, this was the only possibility Xue Yan could think of.


    "No need for many questions."


    "I only ask you one thing," Li Yuan''s voice was ice cold. "Are you willing to submit to me?"


    "If you don''t submit, then die!"

 Chapter 330 Return of the Spirit Gun

    Xue Yan''s pupils constricted slightly.


    Subjugation? Or death? The mysterious figure resembling a Spirit Gun actually wanted him to submit?


    For a moment, Xue Yan didn''t know whether to call the other party confident or foolish, but he did feel the killing intent emanating from the mysterious man.


    If he refused to submit, he was probably going to die.


    "Xue Yan, I''m giving you five seconds to decide. If you don''t agree, then die," Li Yuan''s voice was ice-cold, "Five, four, three..."


    Huff!


    "I am willing to submit." Xue Yan suddenly knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "I, ''Xue Yan'' from the Myriad Demons Civilization, am willing to submit to my master."


    However, in reality, Xue Yan''s mind was cold, filled with murderous intent.


    Master? Once he escaped from the Mingxu Star Realm, in the future, he must find a way to kill this idiot.


    Of course, Xue Yan also understood that the mysterious man in front of him had probably obtained the ultimate treasure of the Civilization Mothership, allowing him such authority.


    But!


    So what if he obtained the treasure? As long as he was free, returning to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the other party couldn''t do anything to him.


    A true man can bend and stretch; as long as he could survive, Xue Yan didn''t mind temporarily bowing his head.


    "It''s really maddening! If not for the encounter with those fools, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, using up the life-saving Secret Treasure, I could have escaped," Xue Yan cursed inwardly.


    Earlier, just after entering the Divine Land, he had used the life-saving treasure bestowed by his master, the Bei Yue Deity.


    "Good."


    "This is the mark of a wise man, Xue Yan. You are a talent, and talent is precious," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    How could he not understand Xue Yan''s thoughts?


    Superficial submission probably meant thinking about how to bite back at him.


    "Words alone are not proof," Li Yuan looked down at him, "Swear an oath under the Law of the Great Dao."


    Upon hearing this, Xue Yan inwardly scoffed, "Really an idiot. Oaths under the Law? The oath only takes effect once I Ascend to God, and violating it wouldn''t take my life."


    Oaths under the Law indeed have binding power.


    But they cannot control one''s innermost thoughts, nor will they directly kill the oath-maker.


    What if one violates the Law''s oath? The most serious backlash is continuous retribution by the Great Dao, and the speed of understanding the Mysteries of the Law would slow down.


    Compared to becoming a servant, one''s life is naturally more important.


    But for Xue Yan, his lifelong goal had been to become a Fifth Rank Divine... An oath under the Law? He didn''t fear it at all at the moment.


    Those worried about the Law''s oaths were often the ones who ardently wished for power.


    "An oath under the Law?"


    Xue Yan''s face seemed to show a struggle, and after a long hesitation, he asked, "May I know the name of my master?"


    "Spirit Gun," Li Yuan''s voice was cold, "What, is swearing an oath under the Law such a dilemma for you?"


    Up to this point, Li Yuan had not revealed his ''Li Yuan'' identity.


    He was worried Xue Yan might possess some secret treasure for communication, and before he had absolute control of the situation, he had to be cautious in his actions.


    Xue Yan''s expression showed struggle, but as if making a resolution, he slowly said, "I, swear by the Law of the Great Dao..."


    He quickly established a Law oath.


    "Good."


    "Xue Yan, now let go of your soul''s defenses. I need to place a restriction in your soul to prevent your betrayal," Li Yuan said coldly.


    "Soul Restriction?" The color drained from Xue Yan''s face, and this time, he was truly shocked.


    He knew very well that among the Divine, there were many secret treasures capable of controlling servants, and if one were to betray...


    Once the restriction was activated, the servant''s end would be very miserable.


    "What, unwilling?" Li Yuan stared coldly, "Were you just pretending earlier? Do you truly not wish to submit to me within your heart?"


    "Rest assured, this restriction won''t take your life, nor will it affect you. After placing this restriction, I will send you back to the Myriad Demons Civilization to keep sending me information," Li Yuan said coldly, offering a big incentive.


    Xue Yan was moved by the thought of being sent back.


    He had assumed that Spirit Gun would take him back to the Seven Star Civilization, but if he was allowed to return... Soul Restriction?


    Within the Myriad Demons Civilization, there were several Divine beings. Surely they could undo a Second Rank Life''s Soul Restriction?


    Regardless, a glimmer of hope arose in Xue Yan''s heart.


    "I am naturally willing to submit to my master," Xue Yan''s voice was low, "Fine, I will release the restriction, but I hope my master will be cautious... Placing a Soul Restriction, if not careful, I fear it might cause injury."


    Physical injury could be healed with Origin Power.


    But if the soul were injured, at best, it would lead to severe vitality loss, at worst, one could become an imbecile or even face soul collapse.


    "Rest assured." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Relax, don''t resist," Li Yuan looked down at him, already silently using ''Soul Nine Refinements.''


    Whoosh~


    An invisible Spiritual Fluctuation swept forth, piercing directly into Xue Yan''s soul like a sharp spike.


    "Ah~" Xue Yan felt an intense pain in his soul.


    "Don''t struggle, it''s normal to feel pain. It''s just one restriction, and it will be over quickly. If you resist, then don''t blame me if your soul collapses," Li Yuan''s voice was cold as he continued to bluff.


    In fact, if Xue Yan resisted with all his might, it would be difficult for Li Yuan to fully control him; at the very least, Xue Yan could destroy his own soul.


    After all, Li Yuan''s soul was only at the Flying Heaven Level, and although much stronger than his opponent, there was no intrinsic difference between them. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    Beings like Demigods and Pseudo-Gods, when controlling enemies with Soul Control, often first severely damaged the opponent''s soul with Soul Attacks, rendering the target unable to struggle... Li Yuan could not do such a thing.


    But Li Yuan could bluff.


    And sure enough!


    Under Li Yuan''s coercion, Xue Yan dared not resist, enduring the intense soul pain as Li Yuan continually worked within his soul... The entire process lasted about ten minutes.


    Suddenly, Xue Yan felt something was not right; he sensed many thoughts rising within his heart. A flash of light in his eyes and a trace of fear emerged, "No! This isn''t a Soul Restriction! It''s a method of Soul Control."

 Chapter 330 Return of the Spirit Gun_2

    "No!"


    "I refuse to be controlled by Soul Control!" Xue Yan suddenly erupted in a roar, his eyes flashing with resolute determination.


    On the surface, submit? Imposed Soul Restriction? Xue Yan still felt there was hope to break free.


    But to be controlled by the soul? That would be the end of everything!


    Bam~


    A heavy palm slammed down on Xue Yan''s body, smacking his recently healed body back to the ground, as fresh blood spurted out again, leaving him powerless to resist.


    "Finally realized it?"


    "Too late!" Li Yuan''s voice was ice-cold as he suddenly sent nine thoughts crashing like a torrent into Xue Yan''s soul.


    The final step of Soul Control began¡ªHeart Control.


    "Ah!" Xue Yan tried to struggle, to destroy his own soul, but to his horror, he found that he could no longer manipulate it.


    In the past ten minutes, Li Yuan had had free rein... and now Xue Yan had lost the right to control his own soul.


    "It''s over!!" Despair filled Xue Yan''s heart along with a surge of resentment: "I shouldn''t have, I shouldn''t have."


    "Damn Spirit Gun, to actually be able to use Soul Control? To deceive me?"


    He would rather die than be controlled by the soul.


    ...


    One minute later.


    "Master!" A bloodied Xue Yan knelt on the ground, his eyes full of reverence: "Xue Yan greets his master."


    This time, it came from the heart.


    "Haha, good." Li Yuan revealed a smile, his eyes also showing a hint of fatigue.


    Practicing Soul Control in a real fight was very exhausting.


    But the cost was worth it; through the Soul Imprint, Li Yuan could clearly feel Xue Yan''s thoughts were absolutely submissive.


    This was true enslavement.


    Methods like Soul Restriction, Oaths of Law, Servant Contracts, and so on could not control the inner thoughts of servants... only Soul Control could change a person''s heart.


    "The current top genius of the Myriad Demons Civilization, just like that under my control." Li Yuan thought silently.


    Li Yuan also felt a sense of caution: "In the future, I must be wary of enemies, never to fall under Soul Control... once controlled, it''s almost as good as death."


    "No, it''s worse than death."


    At a master''s command, a servant would not hesitate to kill his own spouse and children and would believe from his heart that it was the right thing to do.


    How terrifying was that?


    Of course.


    Soul Control was not an absolute measure; there were as many as four ways to remove it, the first being the master lifting the control.


    The second was to kill the master; once the master died, the Soul Imprint would naturally dissipate.


    The third was the servant''s strength growing over time and breaking through the Soul Imprint''s seal with their increasingly strong soul power, slowly regaining freedom without realizing it.


    The fourth was to find a super-strong being proficient in souls to help break the Soul Imprint.


    "The ''Soul Nine Refinements'', even among the Heavenly Divine, is a Method created by powerful beings," Li Yuan thought silently: "Even though the Soul Imprint I set up is weak, it would still require someone at the True God Peak to break it without damaging Xue Yan''s soul."


    Of course, if Xue Yan wanted to regain freedom on his own, then reaching the Pseudo-God Peak was probably enough... after all, the Soul Imprint Li Yuan had set was only at the ''Semi Divine Level''.


    "There''s no rush."


    "It will take Xue Yan a very, very long time to reach the Semi-Divine Peak."


    "Wait until I am stronger and have practiced the ''Pseudo-God Level Soul Imprint'', then I can rebrand it onto his soul," Li Yuan thought silently.


    Soul Control was not a once-and-for-all thing, but the benefits were immense, yielding an absolutely loyal servant.


    "Xue Yan."


    "I will soon let you go."


    "After you return to the Myriad Demons Civilization, focus on cultivating yourself," Li Yuan said: "I will have the intelligence network contact you secretly, and you can pass back some intelligence regularly, the specifics... remember, before you Ascend to God, remember to transmit a message to me."


    With Xue Yan''s talent, even though his potential was greatly reduced by the Soul Imprint, there was still hope of Ascending to God.


    And Li Yuan would also attempt to help him continuously.


    "Yes, Master," Xue Yan said respectfully: "Master, do you need the inheritance and treasures I obtained earlier?"


    "No need."


    "When you go back this time, you''re not a failure, but a success," Li Yuan shook his head: "After returning, do not reveal the secrets of the Mothership''s Inner Layer... Tell the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, just say there are six Divine Being Inheritances hidden inside the Mothership..." S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sooner or later, the Seven Star Civilization would definitely have geniuses coming to accept the Alien God inheritance from the Mothership, and the news would spread eventually.


    Therefore, protecting Xue Yan''s identity was very important.


    "You also should not stay in the Ming Xu Star Realm," Li Yuan enjoined: "Go directly back to the Myriad Demons Civilization."


    "Yes," Xue Yan nodded.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan arranged all the details for Xue Yan¡­ using his authority on the Mothership, he allowed Xue Yan to leave the Mothership.


    "The game is afoot."


    "Should Xue Yan one day become the leader of the Myriad Demons Civilization, that would be quite fun," Li Yuan''s eyes held a hint of expectation.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization posed a great threat to the Seven Star Civilization... and with centuries of hatred, especially Feixing''s destruction, the Seven Star Civilization was desperate for revenge.


    Myriad Demons Civilization yearned to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.


    The Seven Star Civilization wished to extinguish the Myriad Demons Civilization just as much. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire


    ...


    Not long after, almost repeating his previous tactics, Li Yuan once again subdued Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Naturally, the process was much harder.


    Because the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was too strong, with a Life Level as high as 36 levels and the inheritance he had recently received, Li Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.


    The gap at the base level was too obvious.


    Compelled, Li Yuan had to use his Mothership authority to completely subdue Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    But after being completely subdued, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was rather straightforward, and Li Yuan easily employed the ''Soul Imprint'' to fully control him.


    "Master," the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, resembling a Fire Kirin, said respectfully.

 Chapter 330 The Return of the Spirit Gun_3

    ```


    "Can you, alone, be certain of controlling the Mingxu Beast Clan?" Li Yuan inquired.


    "I can." Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied with full confidence.


    "There''s no need for you to hand over the inheritance you received to me; keep it for yourself, and cultivate diligently. Strive to become a demigod in the future." Li Yuan waved his hand. "Additionally, you may choose some of these Fifth Layer Star Masters and Sixth Layer Star Techniques to study."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan bestowed some Star Techniques upon Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Bound by the oath of the Law, Li Yuan dared not divulge anything above the Seventh Layer Star Techniques, as per the demands of Qiu Bingzun.


    But the Seven Stars Technique and below? Qiu Bingzun allowed Li Yuan to teach it to anyone he wished.


    "Thank you, Master." Myriad Scales Beast Emperor felt that Li Yuan treated him, his servant, extremely well.


    "Let''s go, first take care of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "That fool." A glint of murderous intent shone in Myriad Scales Beast Emperor''s eyes. "He actually thought of killing my master before; there''s no need for Master to act, I''ll kill him myself later."


    In the past, the Three Great Beast Emperors were like brothers... But now, an enemy of Li Yuan was an enemy of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    "Mm." Li Yuan smiled. "Then I''ll leave it to you, go meet him."


    The two quickly left the Inner Layer and flew towards the exterior of the Mothership.


    ...


    Outside, within a Quiet Chamber.


    The enormous Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor lay quietly here.


    "Damn it! The portal has been closed all this time, I''ve been unable to leave the Mothership," muttered the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to himself. "Could it be that Myriad Scales never entered the control room?"


    If the exit portal were open, he would have long run away.


    "However, hiding here all this time, probably even the Spirit Gun can''t find me," the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor mused quietly.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom~" The doors of the Quiet Chamber were flung open, startling the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to the extreme, his heart pounding as he turned to look.


    Upon seeing the figure by the door, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. "Myriad Scales, you''ve come out? How did it go?"


    "I''ve already dealt with the Spirit Gun."


    "And I''ve obtained the inheritance from the Inner Layer. Come on out," Myriad Scales Beast Emperor warmly beckoned.


    "Okay." The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, without any suspicion, swiftly flew towards Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Utterly unguarded.


    Years of camaraderie had made him trust Myriad Scales Beast Emperor considerably.


    Just as they drew close to each other.


    "Roar~" Myriad Scales Beast Emperor suddenly opened his maw wide, fiercely biting towards the neck of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    "Whoosh!"


    "Whoosh!" His hooves also ferociously clawed at the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor''s chest and heart.


    Splurt~Boom! Blood splattered in an instant.


    "Myriad Scales!!" The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was severely wounded in a blink, his mind clouded, barely able to comprehend what happened.


    "Dare to pursue and kill my master, you deserve to die!" Myriad Scales Beast Emperor''s eyes were ice-cold, filled with killing intent.


    Boom~


    The doors of the chamber slammed shut again, leaving the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor no chance to escape.


    ...


    Two minutes later.


    "Boom~" The doors burst open, and Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, covered in blood, flew out of the chamber and respectfully approached Li Yuan. "Master, these are the treasures left by Heaven Snake."


    "Good job." Li Yuan collected the treasures, even more pleased with Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was very powerful.


    With such a servant under him, the Mingxu Star Realm was as stable as Mount Tai; even if he were to leave, there would be no upheaval.


    However, the downside was that Myriad Scales Beast Emperor could only stay in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    As for the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor? Li Yuan had never intended to enslave him; it would have been a waste of a quota.


    "Let''s wait for Xue Yan to return first to eliminate any suspicion of himself."


    "We shall continue to cultivate quietly within the Mothership for another two days," Li Yuan said softly.


    "Yes," Myriad Scales Beast Emperor naturally complied.


    ...


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    "Continue cultivating," Li Yuan was not one to waste time and continued to press on with his cultivation.


    The Visualization Method, though painful and torturous, could not be neglected.


    Understanding the Mystery of heaven and earth, observing the myriad Treasures for Assisting Cultivation, was also the fruit of accumulated effort over the days and months.


    Two days later.

    "Let''s go," said Li Yuan, transforming into a beam of light that flew towards the portal, with Myriad Scales Beast Emperor quickly following.


    ...


    Atop the towering Ming Mountain, spanning thousands of kilometers.


    The once beautiful Heavenly Serpent Lake had become battered and dilapidated, no longer possessing its former splendor.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two figures burst forth from the bottom, shooting out of the water''s surface.


    "Myriad Scales, have you remembered all my instructions?" Li Yuan looked at Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    "I have remembered," Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied respectfully. "Master, I will swiftly gather the Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan, then lead them to attack the Tianliang Civilization base."


    "In doing so, we will not only destroy the Tianliang Civilization but also quietly deplete the strength of the Mingxu Beast Clan." Myriad Scales Beast Emperor stated earnestly, "Everything is for the Seven Star Civilization."


    Now, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor also considered himself a member of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Destroying the base of the Tianliang Civilization was not difficult, as long as they used the power of the Mothership. Artillery firing from tens of thousands of miles away could probably kill most of the Initial Rank Flying Heaven warriors.


    But!!!


    That would expose the fact that the Seven Star Civilization had completely taken control of the Civilization Mothership... Naturally, it would increase the risk of exposing Xue Yan.


    Furthermore, the remaining strength of the Mingxu Beast Clan was still too strong.


    It was uncontrollable.


    Thus, Li Yuan''s plan was to hide his own identity, pretending that ''Spirit Gun'' had acquired only one of the Six Great Alien Gods'' inheritances.


    Then, he would have Myriad Scales Beast Emperor lead the Mingxu Beast Clan to clash with the Tianliang Civilization... Unknowingly and utterly disintegrating the Mingxu Beast Clan''s power.


    Until the entire territory and resources of the Mingxu Star Realm were completely under the control of the Seven Star Civilization.


    "Go ahead," Li Yuan instructed. "I''ll continue to stay in the Mingxu Star Realm for a while longer. If anything comes up, you can contact me through the soul branding."


    Master and Soul Servant could communicate through the soul; the stronger their souls, the farther apart they could be and still make contact.


    In fact, if both parties'' souls were powerful enough, they could even contact each other across different Dimensional Planes.


    ```

 Chapter 330 Return of the Spirit Gun_4

    "Yes, Master," the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor nodded.


    Immediately, he transformed into a stream of light and left.


    Having obtained the ''Mothership Map Access'' granted by Li Yuan, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor could easily locate each Beast King... and with the cumulative authority of his years as the Beast Emperor, coupled with the demise of the other two great Beast Emperors... it was clear he would have little trouble taking control of the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    "It''s time to prepare to return," Li Yuan watched as the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor departed.


    "This trip to Ming Mountain has brought tremendous gains. In terms of wealth and treasures, I surpass many demigods of the Seven Star Civilization," Li Yuan pondered silently, "In terms of heritage... considering the magnitude, probably the entire civilization''s accumulation isn''t comparable to mine."


    All things considered, Li Yuan had already received two True God Heritages, one from an Earth System True God and another from a Wind System True God.


    "I''ve also received help from little Bing, a future True God Peak powerhouse," Li Yuan felt full of purpose, "All these accumulations."


    "Next."


    "It''s to cultivate step by step. Now, I have become the Prime Warrior of the civilization."


    "In the future, it is to strive to become the strongest Flying Heaven Warrior, the strongest demigod," Li Yuan thought to himself, "I''m not looking to compete with the geniuses in Seven Star Civilization''s history."

    "It''s with the Third Rank and Fourth Rank geniuses in the Divine Realm," Li Yuan mused silently.


    The talents from the vast Divine Realm were the benchmarks for Li Yuan.


    "Until one day, utterly eradicate all threats from the Star Realms and make my Seven Star Civilization truly powerful," Li Yuan held this aspiration in his heart, "To become as strong as the Immortal Ruins Civilization, or even stronger."


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization is the epitome of absolute power.


    Over the long years, the Immortal Ruins Civilization never worried about invasions from other civilizations within the Dimensional Domain.


    "Back to Bright Moon Base."


    "Settle everything, then I''ll return to Xia Country to see my uncle and aunt," Li Yuan knew.


    It had been half a year without news, and even though Yu Jinghe had sent a message back, the higher-ups of the civilization probably wouldn''t reveal much to his uncle and aunt.


    The family must be very anxious.


    Swoosh! Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, soaring into the sky.


    ...


    As Li Yuan had just flown out of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    At the Bright Moon Base, inside a Fourth Rank Battleship in the conference room, only one Life Crystal remained.


    "Yu Jinghe said Spirit Gun is still alive."


    "But it''s been so long without any news," Tavares sighed softly.


    "He might have been alive then, but what about now?" Jiang Zai also shook his head.


    Both were filled with concern.


    As Flying Heaven Warriors, they could not leave the Mingxu Star Realm, naturally fearing the eventual need for a mass exodus.


    It''s not that they feared death, but they didn''t wish for it.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom!" The previously white Life Crystal suddenly burst into a dazzling red light.


    "Huh?"


    "What?" Tavares and Jiang Zai were first stunned, then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.


    Whirr~


    In the center of the conference room, a huge light screen suddenly emerged, displaying a figure in black battle suit, who appeared to be flying at high speed.


    "Spirit Gun?"


    "He really came out?" Tavares and Jiang Zai were thrilled.


    "That excited, huh?" Li Yuan''s voice carried a hint of a smile, "Send the message to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the others, just say that I have received Divine Being Inheritance and have come out alive."


    "Before long."


    "You will also be able to enter Divine Land, to attempt to receive Divine Being Inheritance."


    There are many benefits within the Civilization Mothership, which Li Yuan might disregard, but they would be useful for most Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Good! Good." S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Divine Being Inheritance?" Tavares and Jiang Zai were both astounded and overjoyed.


    ...


    "Spirit Gun has returned." This news spread at an astonishing speed, swiftly reaching Fang Hai, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, and the others.


    Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, also quickly became aware.

 Chapter 331 News

    In the Bright Moon Base, Li Yuan had already returned from Ming Mountain.


    Within a Fourth Rank Battleship, Li Yuan had finished his exchange with Tavares, Jiang Zai, and others. Dozens of warriors wielding Flying Heaven Level combat power, who had been informed by the base, had just departed.


    Within the Quiet Chamber.


    Li Yuan settled down and logged directly into V-Chat through the battleship''s virtual network.


    Separated by different worlds, smart wristbands couldn''t connect to the virtual networks on Blue Star or Feixing. One must rely on the battleship or the base''s network.


    Upon logging in, he found an overwhelming number of unread messages.


    "Uncle sent 8 messages, aunt over 20, Qian Qian sent me 10 messages, Muhua... 2 messages." Li Yuan first noticed the messages from family members pinned at the top of the chat.


    Li Yuan clicked to open the chat with his uncle.


    "Xiao Yuan, why haven''t you been in touch? Have you been busy with your training lately..."


    "Xiao Yuan, send a message home when you have the time..."


    "Xiao Yuan, Provincial Hall Master Yang has informed us. You''re undergoing closed-off training to surpass the Flying Heaven Level..."


    "Xiao Yuan, everything at home is fine, with me here, you can train with peace of mind..." In recent months, Uncle Li Changzhou had been sending a message every month, all with the same content.


    And Aunt''s messages were clearly filled with worry, but she didn''t dare to say outright, "Xiao Yuan, even if you must endure tough training, remember to take good care of yourself..."


    ...He read through each of the family messages one by one.


    For some reason, Li Yuan''s eyes started to moisten, and he suddenly felt the urge to go home immediately.


    It had been a long time since he had spent proper time with his family.


    "Other people who attend Martial Arts University get a month''s vacation each year." A touch of guilt arose in Li Yuan''s heart: "But I only attended university for one year before heading to the Martial Divine Star Realm... Apart from making my uncle and aunt worry..."


    At this moment, Li Yuan fully understood that infamous saying: ''The moment you become an adult, you''ve already spent most of the time you''ll ever have with your parents.''


    Although Li Yuan was now astonishingly wealthy and highly esteemed, with his family living without worry and even in comfort.


    But affection is not something that can be purely measured by money.


    Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan quickly began replying to his uncle and aunt: "Uncle, I''ve come out of the intensive training, and in at most half a month, I should be able to come home..."


    ...


    Besides family, there were many friends and relatives, such as his good brother from high school, Zhou Qi, Li Tianyou, and others, as well as good friends like Gu Qianghan and Shi Xiao.


    There were also peers like Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Dantai Feng, Alicia, and others who had entered the Martial Divine Star Realm together.


    And many elder friends as well.


    ... Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Li Yuan, I''ve become a 15th Rank Martial Artist and am about to venture into a Star Realm for the first time." This was a message from Li Tianyou, sent a month ago. He was already in his third year.


    Apparently, as years passed, Li Tianyou had been doing very well at Jiangbei Martial University.


    As for people like Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang, their skills had reached Fifth Stage High Rank...


    Alicia''s growth was even more terrifying; she was at Fifth Stage Perfection, and she was expected to become a member of Seven Star Mountain by July this year, the brightest rising star in the Martial Divine Star Realm this year.


    Alicia had sent a lot of messages, more than ten, a rather large number among his friends. Her words also reflected worry.


    "It seems!"


    "In the Martial Divine Star Realm, Duanmu Mountain Master must have announced that I was participating in closed-off intensive training," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, how are your training sessions going in Martial Divine Star Realm?" This was a message from Li Yang a few months ago.


    Upon seeing this message, Li Yuan couldn''t help but sigh inwardly.


    In fact, he had just seen Teacher Li Yang.


    But for the sake of secrecy, Li Yuan had never acknowledged him, so Li Yang had no idea that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, I''ve become a 28th Rank Origin Martial Artist. It looks like there''s hope for me to become a Top Level Origin Martial Artist in this lifetime. Haha, remember to tell me when you get back to Jiang City." This was a message from Wan Qinghe.


    It was sent five months ago.


    Li Yuan could sense ''Uncle Wan'' must be brimming with high spirits.


    ...


    This world, clearly, did not stop just because Li Yuan had disappeared, but continued to move forward uninterrupted, and his family and friends were all living their lives.


    But they had all been continuously worried about Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan replied to each message one by one. It took a long time before he finished replying to all of them, and then his gaze fell on one particular chat box.


    Because, among everyone, the one who sent the most messages wasn''t his aunt, but¡ªLin Lanyue.


    Unread messages 99+


    There were over a hundred messages.


    "Lanyue." Li Yuan was dazed for a long time.


    He gently clicked, and the earliest message was from last November.


    "Li Yuan, I heard Mingxu Star Realm won a big victory in the war; take extra care."


    "I haven''t heard from you for a long time. I pressed San Ye Semi Divine for answers, and she told me that your Life Crystal had dimmed, possibly fallen in Mingxu Star Realm..."


    "I don''t want to believe it. I went to Fierce Feather Star Realm and asked the Boundary Spirit, but he couldn''t confirm if you were dead or alive either..."


    "I believe in you, you definitely wouldn''t just die like that..."


    "I''m sure you''re alive. I''m still looking forward to the day you become Divine."


    "I''ve reached Fifth Stage Perfection in my skills. According to tradition, I should celebrate and invite Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and others... I''ll wait for you to return before celebrating"


    ...


    "It''s snowing in Martial Divine Star Realm; this is my first time seeing it, and you''re in Mingxu Star Realm¡ªI believe you''re just temporarily stranded somewhere..." S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "During the Spring Festival, I visited Jiang City once to wish uncle and aunt a Happy New Year. They seem to be in good health, and they apparently don''t know you''re Spirit Gun; don''t worry..."


    "You must live."


    "I''m waiting for you to come back..."


    ...


    One message after another struck Li Yuan''s heart indescribably; he felt something inside being stirred.


    In Li Yuan''s heart, Lin Lanyue held a very special place.


    And this time, adopting the name ''Spirit Gun'' to enter the Martial Divine Star Realm, those who knew his true identity, like Luo Chan, Yan Jing, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine... either were not that close, or they were all elders.


    Simply put, purely in terms of emotions, their connections were not that deep.


    Whereas for close relatives and friends who were extremely affectionate, most were unaware of the ''Spirit Gun''s fall.


    Only Lin Lanyue, by virtue of her status, was sufficiently high-ranking, and as a disciple of the Divine, she was able to converse with San Ye Semi-Divine and knew Li Yuan was Spirit Gun.


    In terms of emotions, hers were much deeper than those of Luo Chan and Dantai Feng.


    "Yu Jinghe has been out for quite some time."


    "But it seems the higher-ups of civilization have been keeping it a secret," Li Yuan thought silently. "Even Tavares and Jiang Zai only know Yu Jinghe is alive and out; none of these high-ranking individuals from the Star Realms knew I was alive before."


    "To keep it secret, of course, the higher-ups wouldn''t inform Lin Lanyue voluntarily."


    After a long contemplation,


    Li Yuan activated his special privilege and, through the warship, directly called Lin Lanyue''s communicator.


    ...


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside an ultra-large mansion,


    This was Lin Lanyue''s residence.


    "Uncle, what is it this time?" Lin Lanyue frowned and said, looking at the figure on the screen.


    "Lanyue, the family still hopes you can attend this latest meeting," the middle-aged man in the screen said with a wry smile. "Consider it doing a favor for your uncle."


    "Uncle, you''ve always been good to me, and I can agree to anything else... but I won''t participate in the Blazing Flame Family''s meetings right now," Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    "The patriarch said when you reach the Flying Heaven Level, it will be your time to take over as clan leader," the middle-aged man sighed. "Those elders, they all want to meet you now."


    "Meet me for what now?"


    Lin Lanyue shook her head, "I won''t meddle in the clan''s affairs right now. I just want to quietly cultivate. If they have any issues, they should organize their materials and bring them to the Alliance''s Disciplinary Committee."


    "Are you really going to turn the family upside down?" the uncle said with a wry smile. "About what happened to your mother..."


    "Uncle!"


    Lin Lanyue cut him off directly, speaking in a low voice, "You don''t need to lecture me. If those elders are afraid I''ll trouble them in the future, let them go to the patriarch and ask the patriarch to rescind the decision."


    The middle-aged man was at a loss for words.


    Rescind the decision? The Flame City Semi-Divine had long stated that Lin Lanyue was the most promising in the Blazing Flame Family to become Semi-Divine... how could it be rescinded?


    "Alright, if you truly don''t want to return, so be it."


    "I will try my best to placate the elders," the middle-aged man sighed. "Take care while cultivating in the Martial Divine Hall."


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly and hung up the phone.


    She was very grateful to her uncle as, back when Li Changzhou was injured, it was she who sought him out to ask for a treasure to be sent overnight from Feixing to Blue Star...


    But towards the Blazing Flame Family... Lin Lanyue had extremely complex feelings.


    Not long after hanging up.


    "Master, ''Li Yuan,'' whom you specially follow, is requesting communication," the assistant AI''s voice rang out.


    Lin Lanyue''s body trembled slightly, her eyes gaining a glint of disbelief.


    "Master, would you like to take the call?" the AI''s voice sounded again.


    "Take it!" Lin Lanyue said immediately.


    *Drip* The communication connected.


    "Lanyue, it''s me," a deep voice sounded.


    Lin Lanyue abruptly covered her mouth, tears faintly visible in her eyes, yet she made no sound.


    "I saw the messages you sent," the deep voice continued, pausing for quite a while before adding, "The conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm shouldn''t last too long. I''ll return to the Martial Divine Star Realm soon."


    "Wait for me."


    "Okay, be careful," Lin Lanyue''s eyes glistened with tears, but her voice remained calm.


    She didn''t ask for reasons from Li Yuan, knowing his importance to the entire civilization.


    Silently,


    The barrier between them seemed to be slowly dissolving.


    ...


    In the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Having hung up, Li Yuan felt much calmer inside; after a while, he quietly resumed his cultivation.


    Not long after,


    Another communication arrived, and with a raised eyebrow, Li Yuan clicked to answer the call: "Principal, it''s me."


    "Your news vanished for half a year, scaring us all to death. Both Bai Shan Semi-Divine and I were really worried you died in the Divine Land," Fang Hai''s voice came through.


    "Didn''t Brother Yu come out first?" Li Yuan immediately said.


    "We knew you weren''t dead, but since Yu Jinghe didn''t reveal too much, how could we not worry?" Fang Hai sighed. "After all, according to what Yu Jinghe said, that Divine Land involves more than one Divine."


    "Mhm, it''s a big involvement," Li Yuan nodded.


    While he couldn''t reveal the Heavenly Serpent Divine, the exterior of the Mothership was impossible to hide.


    "How about it? Are you confident of taking Ming Xu Star Realm now?" Fang Hai asked.


    "I am one hundred percent certain," Li Yuan said.


    "Good," Fang Hai laughed. "Now, enter the virtual network, Starfire Space."


    "The Alliance Hierarch wants to see you."

 Chapter 332 Meeting the Alliance Hierarch

    "The Alliance Hierarch wants to see me?" Li Yuan was stunned; he had not been back for long.


    "When Yu Jinghe came out, the Alliance Hierarch did not summon him," Fang Hai said with a smile. "But your situation is different. Firstly, you are much more important, and secondly, according to Yu Jinghe, you should now control the core secrets of the Divine Land."


    "The secrets of Ming Mountain."


    "The entire upper echelon of the civilization is very concerned," Fang Hai stated gravely. "It''s quite normal for the Alliance Hierarch to want to see you immediately."


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded.


    He then disconnected the communication with Fang Hai.


    In this Quiet Chamber, there was a Virtual Network Cabin. Li Yuan directly entered and logged into the virtual network.

    Wanting to directly contact the Feixing Virtual Network from the Star Realm? It required extremely high permissions.


    ...


    In the virtual network, Starfire Space.


    "Hmm? I have an extra permission?" Li Yuan noticed an abnormality in his permissions as soon as he entered.


    He was already qualified to enter the "Starfire Realm," and there was also a message from Fang Hai.


    Following the message, Li Yuan''s consciousness entered the Starfire Realm.


    This was a vast void, with only a floating palace in it, completely red, with gold and red lights mixed together, dazzling endlessly.


    "Li Yuan, come here," said Fang Hai, dressed in black, already waiting outside the palace, smiling.


    "The principal is also here?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flew over. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Let''s enter together; the Alliance Hierarch is right here," Fang Hai whispered. "In the past, only over twenty demigods from the Martial Hall could come to this Starfire Realm."


    "I was previously granted access, and you are the second," Fang Hai explained as they walked.


    Li Yuan immediately understood that this virtual space, "Starfire Realm," must be the gathering place for the highest echelons of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Over twenty demigods?


    "In the entire Seven Stars Civilization, are there over twenty demigods belonging to the Starfire Martial Hall?" Li Yuan wondered silently.


    Before this, with his permissions, he had been able to find that there were over fifty demigods in the Seven Stars Civilization.


    Now, it seemed there were even more.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Fang Hai led Li Yuan into the palace. The interior was quite spacious and empty, and at the far end of the hall, a figure in a golden robe was sitting cross-legged, radiating an extremely sharp aura.


    It was Dongfang Ji.


    "Teacher," Fang Hai bowed respectfully.


    "Alliance Hierarch," Li Yuan also bowed. He felt it strange that the aura of the Alliance Hierarch in the virtual network seemed even more sharp and commanding than in reality.


    The last time he saw Dongfang Ji, he only felt that the other''s aura was strong and vast but not so overwhelming as now.


    The Law of Metal.


    "Sit," Dongfang Ji said indifferently, waving his hand, and two chairs appeared in front of Li Yuan.


    Fang Hai sat down without hesitation, and Li Yuan did the same.


    "I have generally reviewed your report," Dongfang Ji''s gaze fell on Li Yuan. "But there are some doubts I want to ask you about, so I specifically asked Fang Hai to bring you here."


    "Alliance Hierarch, please ask me; whatever I can say, I will definitely tell," Li Yuan spoke honestly.


    After coming out from the Mothership, Li Yuan had quickly prepared a document briefly describing his experiences and explaining the situation inside the Civilization Mothership... although the content was very rough.


    "You mentioned in your report about the Divine Land in the Ruins Star Realm, that it is indeed a God-Level Mothership, but based on your report and combined with Yu Jinghe''s report, the ''Six Great Alien God Heritage'' you talked about only involves the outer layer, right?" Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan with a smile. "What about the inner layer? Does it involve True God Heritage?"


    "Did you all make a Law Oath? Is it hard to say?"


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "Haha," Fang Hai showed a smile. "Li Yuan, don''t be surprised; the teacher''s vision exceeds your imagination."


    "True God Heritage, it''s very terrifying."


    "But you don''t have to worry about it being taken away," Fang Hai said with a smile. "Having seen the Martial Divine Hall and with your experiences, you should be able to guess that what the teacher controls... also far exceeds your imagination."


    "Even I have a share of True God Heritage," Fang Hai said.


    "The principal also has True God Heritage?" Li Yuan was shocked internally, creating a huge stir.


    This was definitely explosive news.


    "Fang Hai also became a Seven Star Vein not long ago, only then fully obtaining that True God Heritage recognition," Dongfang Ji said with a smile. "The core heritage of a True God usually requires the Seven Star Veins."


    Li Yuan was increasingly shocked and couldn''t help but look at Fang Hai.


    Seven Star Veins?


    According to Qiu Bingzun, even in the Divine Realm, the Seven Star Veins were already considered very powerful.


    If the principal is so powerful, what about the even more mysterious and powerful Alliance Hierarch? For a moment, a rush of thoughts flashed through Li Yuan''s mind.


    At that moment, Li Yuan vaguely realized that he might have touched upon some of the core aspects of civilization.


    "Alliance Hierarch."


    "Indeed, that Mothership involves the heritage of a Wind-System True God," Li Yuan stated earnestly. "It left behind many treasures and Star Techniques."


    "Wind System? Is it that True God from the Heavenly Serpent Clan?" Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was increasingly astonished.


    The Alliance Hierarch was incredible¡ªhad he guessed all this? In his and Yu Jinghe''s reports, they had not yet mentioned this.


    "You have received the True God Heritage, so you should know many things," said Dongfang Ji slowly. "Are you aware of the Divine Realm?"


    "I am," Li Yuan nodded.


    Beside him, Fang Hai remained calm, seemingly already aware and unsurprised.


    "And the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?" Dongfang Ji asked.


    "I''ve learned some about it," Li Yuan hesitated and then added, "And also about Nine Leaves Nine Mountains. I know quite a bit about that too."


    From the Alliance Hierarch''s demeanor, Li Yuan understood that his strength and the hidden forces behind him likely surpassed his own imagination.


    "The war of the gods ten thousand years ago saw many divine beings from the Divine Realm descend, among them, a deity from the Heavenly Serpent Clan, who was one of the strongest," Dongfang Ji spoke softly. "He brought a Civilization Mothership. These are no secrets... After his fall, the Civilization Mothership disappeared without a trace."


    "I have always speculated that his Civilization Mothership must have crashed into one of the Star Realms near our Seven Stars Civilization... It was not until I observed Ming Mountain and the Flying Heaven Beast Kings in the Mingxu Star Realm that I became sixty percent confident that Ming Mountain is the Civilization Mothership of that Heavenly Serpent Clan deity," Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    "I have been waiting."


    "Waiting for the entrance of the Mingxu Star Realm to upgrade to a Second Level Star Realm, I knew that the opportunity had arrived," Dongfang Ji smiled at Li Yuan. "Luckily, your talent and strength were high enough that you directly seized the heritage."


    "Otherwise, it really would have been troublesome."


    Li Yuan listened with increasing shock.


    From the Alliance Hierarch''s words, had he identified the secret of Ming Mountain long ago?


    Li Yuan also immediately understood why the last time the Alliance Hierarch had given him information, he specifically mentioned the Civilization Mothership.


    "Alliance Hierarch,"


    "With so many civilizations within the Dimensional Domain and even more Dimensional Planes, why did you believe that the Heavenly Serpent Clan True God''s Civilization Mothership crashed near our Seven Stars Civilization?" Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    Dongfang Ji could not help but smile.


    Beside him, Fang Hai also showed a smile. "Li Yuan, have you ever thought about why our Seven Stars Civilization has so many Star Realms? Why do numerous Foreign Civilizations constantly desire to invade our Seven Stars Civilization?"


    Li Yuan was momentarily stumped.


    In fact, this was also what perplexed Li Yuan; he had previously received extensive intelligence about the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization from Xue Yan and Liang Qi¡­ Upon comparison, Li Yuan had discovered a critical point.


    Compared to these Foreign Civilizations, the Star Realms of the Seven Stars Civilization¡­ were too numerous!!


    The Star Realms connected to the Seven Great Planets totaled, perhaps, over a thousand.


    All these belonged to Exterior Dimensional Star Realms.


    This was quite inconceivable.


    As mighty as the Myriad Demons Civilization, with several dozen Life Planets, other than the ''Interior Dimensional Star Realms'' between planets, over tens of thousands of years, they had only discovered a little over a hundred Exterior Dimensional Star Realms.


    Only a tenth of the Seven Stars Civilization!


    You must know, these Star Realm entrances of the Seven Stars Civilization had all appeared just in the last few hundred years.


    Very strange.


    All this indicated the uniqueness of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    "In our entire Dimensional Domain, there are over ten thousand Dimensional Planes," Dongfang Ji whispered. "Most of these Dimensional Planes have spawned life, but only a few have developed a relatively advanced civilization... And even fewer have given birth to Divine beings."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    "Many Dimensional Planes collide and intersect... forming many junction points," Dongfang Ji said. "These junctions are spatially unstable, which causes Star Realms to be frequently born and destroyed."


    "Is our Seven Stars Civilization one such junction point?" Li Yuan asked curiously.


    "Yes, and no," Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan grew even more puzzled.


    "Once, the previous era of the Seven Stars Civilization was very prosperous," Dongfang Ji''s eyes held a reminiscing look. "It had more than ten Life Planets and also gave birth to Divine beings."


    "The previous era?" many thoughts surfaced in Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Everything changed over ten thousand years ago, with the emergence of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain... Just the repercussions alone had a massive impact on many nearby Dimensional Planes."


    "The most affected was the Dimensional Plane of our Seven Stars Civilization," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan. "The entire plane''s civilization was directly obliterated, along with the Plane''s Origin suffering damage, which resulted in the Plane''s Origin Power being absorbed to repair itself... It was only thousands of years ago that our civilization''s ancestors began to redevelop from a wilderness state, up till today."


    "Only two thousand years ago did the Origin of the Plane begin to recover initially, the Star Gates opened, and Origin Power gradually pervaded the entire Dimensional Plane."


    Li Yuan listened in shock.


    No wonder, while civilizations like the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization had been passed down for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, the Seven Stars Civilization was much weaker.


    All this was due to the obliteration of the previous civilization.


    Was the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain the chief culprit?


    "That upheaval turned our Seven Stars Plane into a new junction point; the instability of space has resulted in numerous Star Realms being born in these few hundred years, gradually recovering the Origin Power within the Plane, thus establishing connections with many Star Realms," Dongfang Ji explained. "This also allowed us to come into contact with other Foreign Civilizations."


    Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully.


    Throughout history, the civilization had undergone increasingly significant changes over the past few centuries.


    "All this is secondary."


    "The key point," Dongfang Ji said slowly, "is that it has led to the birth of two crucial Star Realms within our Seven Stars Civilization¡ªNine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm."


    Nine Leaves Nine Mountains? Li Yuan was increasingly astonished.


    "Other civilizations find it difficult to enter the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain''s Nine Leaves Nine Mountains," Dongfang Ji stated. "But we can enter directly through the Star Realms."


    "This is both a disaster and an opportunity!"

 Chapter 333 Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled

    Nine Leaves Star Realm? Nine Mountains Star Realm?


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask, "Alliance Hierarch, are these two Star Realms exclusive to our Seven Star Civilization?"


    "Exclusive," Dongfang Ji nodded. "The Nine Leaves Star Realm is a Third Level Star Realm, and the Nine Mountains Star Realm is a Fourth Level Star Realm. In fact, there isn''t much treasure within these two Star Realms, just that each has a separate passage leading deep into the Nine Leaves and the Nine Mountains."


    Li Yuan marveled in secret. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire


    This was indeed a great opportunity for the Seven Star Civilization.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also vaguely understood. So, does that mean the Nine Leaves Star Realm only allows those at the Flying Heaven Level to enter?


    "The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is mysterious and incomprehensible, with invisible rules in operation. We call its core ''Ancient Domain,'' a Starry Sky Space Rift situated between planes," Dongfang Ji slowly said. "Therefore, the Divine from many Dimensional Domains can enter along this Starry Sky Space Rift, and even the Divine from the Divine Realm can descend in this way... Over the long years, the treasures that were easy to obtain in the periphery of the Ancient Domain have already been taken."


    "Today, for those Divine to dare enter the Ancient Domain, it''s tantamount to a survival rate of one in ten," Dongfang Ji solemnly said.


    Li Yuan listened quietly, he was beginning to understand.


    "So the Myriad Demons Civilization wants to invade our Seven Star Civilization for these two Star Realms?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled. "But I remember, Alliance Hierarch, you met Teacher Lie Feng in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain."


    "Does this mean that powerful beings from other dimensions can still enter the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains?" Li Yuan was curious. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Enter, they can certainly enter," Fang Hai said with a smile next to him. "Li Yuan, anyone can enter the Ancient Domain at the core, but it''s difficult for everyone to do so."


    "But the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains are part of the outer regions."


    "The Nine Leaves World only allows those at the Flying Heaven Level to enter; the Nine Mountains World only allows Demigods," Fang Hai explained. "Other civilizations'' Flying Heaven beings and Demigods, if aided by Divine... can also reach the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, and then attempt to enter the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains, but just the dangers of the outermost layer alone are enough to kill ninety percent of those Flying Heaven Level and Demigods before they can truly enter the Nine Leaves World, the Nine Mountains World."


    "The Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains are likewise fraught with peril, which is why, for every hundred Flying Heaven and Demigods from those Foreign Civilizations, hardly one survives," Fang Hai remarked.


    Li Yuan was more and more alarmed upon hearing this¡ªa one percent survival rate?


    "The Immortal Ruins Civilization is one of the most powerful civilizations in the Dimensional Domain. The largest campaign they had ever organized involved rallying over two hundred Demigods to attempt the challenge," Dongfang Ji spoke softly. "In the end, only one made it out alive."


    "And the one who survived wasn''t even the strongest among them," Dongfang Ji shook his head.


    "This¡ª" Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    How brutal.


    That was a Demigod! Out of hundreds, only one survives? And survival doesn''t even depend on strength.


    Such knowledge must surely dishearten any Demigod who heard it.


    Dongfang Ji spoke slowly, "The powerful from our Seven Star Civilization, by going through these two Star Realms into the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains, have a very low death rate and have obtained a great deal of treasure."


    "Lant thus became the first Demigod of our civilization."


    "My own strength, too, is inseparably linked to the Nine Mountains World."


    "Fang Hai''s True God Heritage also originates from the Nine Leaves World," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan. "Our entire civilization has thus thrived, and many of our treasures are even coveted by Divine beings."


    Li Yuan was shocked to hear this.


    So, it seemed the Seven Star Civilization, in just a few hundred years, caught up with the Tianliang Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and others... all of which was inseparable from the Nine Mountains and Nine Leaves.


    "Therefore,"


    "Any Foreign Civilizations capable of passing through Star Realms and bordering our Seven Star Civilization, as long as they have a bit of strength, naturally harbor covetous thoughts," Dongfang Ji said. "The greatest threats are the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Myriad Demon Civilization."


    "Immortal Ruins Civilization?" Li Yuan was astonished. "Have we also been involved in a major war with them?"


    "Li Yuan, you''ve clashed with the Immortal Ruins Civilization; you should be aware of their strength," Fang Hai said with a smile. "They haven''t made a move only because there hasn''t been a chance."


    "We border the Myriad Demon Civilization at a Fourth Level Star Realm ''Demon Mountain Star Realm'' situated in Feixing," Fang Hai continued. "That has been the root cause of several major wars."


    "And the great extinction in Feixing''s history originated from there."


    Demon Mountain Star Realm?


    Li Yuan sighed to himself, having previously read about it in the database.


    This was the only Fourth Level Star Realm within the Seven Star Civilization, located in Feixing, and it allowed Demigods to pass through.


    "With Teacher guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the Myriad Demons Civilization has temporarily given up on invading," Fang Hai said. "As for the Immortal Ruins Civilization, we are connected by two Star Realms."


    "One is the Fierce Feather Star Realm in Feixing, a Second Level Star Realm."


    "The other is the Kunlun Star Realm," Fang Hai paused. "That''s the one beneath Kunlun Martial University... which may break through to become a Third Level Star Realm at any time."


    Li Yuan held his breath; he was naturally no stranger to the Kunlun Star Realm.


    Over the past few decades, Principal Fang Hai stayed at Kunlun Martial University, with the purpose of guarding the entrance to the Kunlun Star Realm... being the principal was just incidental.


    "The Kunlun Star Realm is vast and stable; in the Teacher''s predictions, it''s not far from becoming a Third Level Star Realm and might eventually even become a Fourth Level Star Realm," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. "Tell me, will the Immortal Ruins Civilization remain amiable by then?"


    "They maintain peace with us because they''ve never had the chance."


    "As far as we know, the number of civilizations annihilated by the Immortal Ruins Civilization is not small," Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly, a sense of intense crisis welling up in his heart.


    The Demon Mountain Star Realm was far off in Feixing... but the Kunlun Star Realm was right here on Blue Star, within Xia Country!


    One Rob Sea Star Realm had already made Xia Country lose sleep.


    Should the Kunlun Star Realm advance to a Fourth Level Star Realm? The Immortal Ruins Civilization was much more powerful than the Myriad Demons Civilization, and if a major war erupted, the clash of numerous Demigods could potentially destroy most of Xia Country.

 Chapter 333 Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_2

    Never!


    He would never allow such a thing to happen! The thought rose uncontrollably in Li Yuan''s mind.


    The more Li Yuan saw and understood, the less naive he was compared to his youthful student days.


    Everything in his heart was for himself, for the might of the Seven Star Civilization! It was a natural order where the strong preyed on the weak.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Today I brought you here just to let you understand the core secrets of our civilization," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "You have high talent, higher than mine, higher than Fang Hai''s, it''s just that you are still young and haven''t fully realized your potential yet."


    "Maestro, I..." Li Yuan was about to speak.


    "No need to be modest," Dongfang Ji shook his head, "As a Prime Warrior, you''ve burst forth with Flying Heaven Peak strength at just Second Rank and received two True God heritages, which proves everything."


    "Even if placed in the Divine Realm, you would probably be considered a rare genius," Dongfang Ji said.


    Two True God heritages? Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    "Don''t be surprised," Fang Hai joked, "Li Yuan, the affairs in the Fierce Feather Star Realm might deceive others, but not your teacher. There should also be an Earth System True God heritage in the World within Worlds."


    Li Yuan fell silent, ceasing to argue.


    The more he interacted, the more unfathomable the Alliance Hierarch seemed... now feeling the other party more mysterious than ever.


    "With talent comes responsibility," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is an opportunity for our Seven Star Civilization, which might allow our civilization to become the strongest in the Dimensional Domain."


    "But, if we ourselves are not strong enough."


    "Then, whether it is the possible turmoil in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the future or invasions from other civilizations, all could destroy our Seven Star Civilization," Dongfang Ji slowly said, "By then, the Seven Great Planets would be entirely destroyed, billions would die, and all traces erased... it''s not impossible."


    Li Yuan''s heart tightened upon hearing this.


    Then, it would be a repetition of the downfall of a past civilization.


    "Countless precedents have proven that even True Gods cannot fully control the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, it''s too remote for us..." Dongfang Ji spoke softly, "But at least, we need to make efforts to fend off invasions from other civilizations."


    "The height of a civilization depends on the stature of its top warriors."


    "If our civilization could give birth to a Pseudo-God, it would be much safer."


    "If it could produce a True God! Then we could say that our Seven Star Civilization truly stands tall among the Dimensional Domain civilizations, unafraid of most storms," a hint of inexplicable light flashed in Dongfang Ji''s eyes.


    "Becoming a Pseudo-God, for those Semi-Divines in our civilization as well as many young talents, there is some hope, for Semi-Divines live a thousand years, anything is possible," Dongfang Ji spoke softly, "But becoming a True God?"


    "At least, in my view, besides me, only you two have the potential," Dongfang Ji looked at the two. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Now with my presence, our civilization is temporarily safe," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "but relying solely on me is not enough, for I can''t guard it forever."


    "Lant Semi-Divine once protected our civilization for a long time."


    "Later, he assisted me, and I was able to grow rapidly."


    "Now, it''s time for your generation of leaders," Dongfang Ji said, "Starfire! Passing on the torch, from generation to generation, never extinguishing!"


    "This, is the original intention of me and Lant Semi-Divine when we unified the Seven Stars, established the Starfire Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, and the Seven Star Alliance."


    Fang Hai and Li Yuan, both felt their blood boiling.


    True God? Even the Myriad Demons Civilization currently lacked a True God.


    Even though Li Yuan, favored by Qiu Bingzun and Gu You, that was all in the future.


    Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    Now, his True Intent Comprehension was not even at the Semi-Divine level, let alone the distant True God.


    But both Li Yuan and Fang Hai felt the responsibility they bore.


    Passing on the torch, from the first generation Prime Warriors, to the first generation Flying Heaven Warriors, then to Lant Semi-Divine, Dongfang Ji.


    Now, it was needed for their generation to stand up.


    The strength of a civilization was never dependent on one person but required generations of strong warriors to step forward.


    Until one day, the Seven Star Civilization stands at the very peak of the Dimensional Domain!


    ... As time passed, Li Yuan continued to interact with Fang Hai and Dongfang Ji.


    "Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, the blood flame of the Wan Mo Civilization, have all been controlled by your soul?" Fang Hai listened, shocked.


    A trace of astonishment flashed in Dongfang Ji''s eyes.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, this was something he had decided to reveal after much thought.


    Some matters, kept hidden, served no purpose.


    Like Blood Flame, requiring the intelligence network of the Seven Star Civilization to contact to fully leverage its effects.


    "No wonder you said you were absolutely certain about ending the war in Ming Xu Star Realm," Dongfang Ji smiled, "You have done well, your war plans are excellent, too."


    "As for Blood Flame, I will arrange for undercover contacts to establish a stable connection," Dongfang Ji said, "After the war ends, I will have San Ye Semi-Divine comprehensively tally your contributions."


    "Hm," Li Yuan nodded, not particularly concerned now.


    His gains in the Ming Xu Star Realm were significant enough, the wealth of most Semi-Divines in his civilization couldn''t compare to his own.


    Unless he broke through to Flying Heaven Level, his need for external things was minimal now.


    "When are you planning your breakthrough?" Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    Fang Hai also looked towards Li Yuan, smiling, "Li Yuan, I will likely become a Semi-Divine soon. When you break through to Flying Heaven Level, I''m prepared to appoint you as the Grand Hall Master of the Starfire Blue Star Main Hall."


    "Grand Hall Master of Blue Star?" Li Yuan was momentarily taken aback.


    That was one of the most powerful figures in the entire Blue Star.


    "If your principal can do it at Flying Heaven Level, why can''t you?" Dongfang Ji offered a light smile.


    "Maestro, principal," Li Yuan said, "I currently am at Six Star Pulse. I plan to reach Seven Star Veins before my breakthrough."


    Li Yuan dared not mention Eight Star Veins.


    It was too exaggerated and hard to explain; Seven Star Veins was sufficient.

 Chapter 333 Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_3

    "Seven Star Veins?" Dongfang Ji nodded, "That''s acceptable. You are still young. You can continue to accumulate and lay a good foundation. There''s no rush to reach the Flying Heaven Level."


    "Seven Star Veins?" Fang Hai sighed.


    He had reached the Flying Heaven Level a long time ago, and it had cost him a great deal of energy to achieve the Seven Star Veins.


    Compared to him, Li Yuan had progressed much faster.


    "Furthermore, once I increase my strength further, I want to sweep through the Second Level Star Realms." Li Yuan said solemnly.


    "Sweep through the Second Level Star Realms?" Fang Hai''s eyes flashed with a strange color.


    "Good ambition," Dongfang Ji smiled, "but it''s not as easy as you think. Some Second Level Star Realms are home to Demigods."


    "Demigods?" Li Yuan widened his eyes.


    That''s insane?


    Even with his confidence, Li Yuan didn''t believe that he, as a Prime Warrior, could contend with a Demigod.


    Not even if his True Intent Comprehension stepped into the Threshold of the Law would it suffice.


    The fundamental gap was too large.


    "The so-called levels of Star Realms are just the grade of their entry points, and have nothing to do with the inherent strength of the Star Realms themselves," Dongfang Ji explained patiently. "A few Second Level Star Realms have strong indigenous lifeforms, or Flying Heaven Warriors stationed there who have broken through... Of course, if your strength advances further, you indeed have the potential to sweep through most Second Level Star Realms."


    "But it''s not necessary," Dongfang Ji shook his head.


    "Why not?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "In doing so, you won''t foster allies within, nor invincible challengers from outside, leading ultimately to decay," Dongfang Ji stated. "There are a few Second Level Star Realms with substantial threats that indeed need to be eradicated, like the Rob Sea Star Realm."


    "But for the most part, these realms serve as a proving ground for many civilizations and ordinary Martial Artists, where although there are some casualties, it is the price paid for the emergence of powerful warriors."


    "If there''s no danger at all..."


    "How can the next generation of warriors grow?" Dongfang Ji smiled.


    Li Yuan understood.


    "Before you break through to the Flying Heaven Warrior, tell me, and I will give you a list of Second Level Star Realms that need cleaning up," Dongfang Ji said.


    "Alright, I''ll follow the Hierarch''s arrangement," Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    Soon, Fang Hai left first.


    Only Li Yuan and Dongfang Ji were left in the palace.


    "Li Yuan, three last things," Dongfang Ji said, looking at him.


    "First, your authority in the Martial Hall is elevated to that of a Flying Heaven Star Lord, which will give you access to more data and resources of the Martial Hall," Dongfang Ji continued. "Second, have you studied the ''Thousand Illusions Formation Map'' I gave you last time?"


    "I have," Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.


    "When you comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map and reach the Flying Heaven Level, that is when you should set out for the Nine Leaves World," Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan immediately understood why, when it had been given to him, he was told to report back upon comprehension. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Now, the Thousand Illusions Formation Map seemed to be related to the Nine Leaves World.


    "The third matter," Dongfang Ji stated, "the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance you received should contain a latent power, right?"


    "Latent power?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "It seems you''re not very aware, but this power originates from Jiangnan Province in Blue Star. Once you return to Blue Star, go and tell them not to try to infiltrate the mainframe of Blue Star anymore," Dongfang Ji said with a smile. "I should be correct, right?"


    Boom!


    Jiangnan Province? Li Yuan''s mind reeled as he pieced together Dongfang Ji''s words and guessed who it might be.


    Gu You?


    "Yes, Hierarch, I understand," Li Yuan replied. "When I return, I will keep them restrained." Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Good, the inheritance you''ve received is yours to command," Dongfang Ji said. "I''m just warning you that these Alien God inheritances are sometimes a double-edged sword... manage it well."


    "If you feel you can''t control it... come to me, and I''ll take care of it," Dongfang Ji''s confident voice reassured.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    ...


    In the crimson palace, Dongfang Ji watched Li Yuan leave.


    "Master, aren''t we going to tell them the truth?" a deep voice asked.


    "It''s not yet time," Dongfang Ji slowly said. "When they make it through the Seventh Mountain on their own strength, they will naturally understand... the path of cultivation must be trodden by themselves."


    "Mm-hmm," the deep voice replied. "Master, when will we venture to the Ninth Mountain?"


    "There''s no rush."


    "Let''s wait for Fang Hai to break through. Once I enter the Ninth Mountain, it''s hard to say when I could return."


    ...


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, in the chamber of the warship.


    Clang~


    Li Yuan emerged from the Virtual Network Cabin, his eyes filled with astonishment.


    "Hierarch!"


    "How powerful must one be to even track Gu You''s movements?" Li Yuan marveled silently. "And what exactly did Gu You do while I wasn''t here?"


    Li Yuan found Qiu Bingzun''s words, "To gain what you want, you must be prepared to give," deeply resonant.


    Everyone thinks differently and isn''t entirely under one''s control.


    True God Heritage? It seemed not all benefits were straightforward.


    With that thought,


    "Myriad Scales," Li Yuan directly transmitted to the soul: "How are the preparations?"


    "Master."


    "In three more days, we should be able to launch the attack," the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied through soul transmission.


    With their spiritual power, soul transmission across tens of thousands of miles was effortless.


    ...


    "Continue cultivating," Li Yuan calmed his heart and resumed his cultivation in the chamber.


    "After this battle ends,"


    "I must find a way to erase the ''Nine Shadows Clone'' Star Technique Star Mark," Li Yuan thought silently. "Then, I can re-cultivate the ''True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein'' with a Perfect Star Vein."


    Once he erased the "Nine Shadows Clone," his strength would naturally diminish.


    But the "True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein" was the foundation of cultivation and would boost Li Yuan''s compatibility with the Wind Vein significantly.


    ...


    While Li Yuan was in meditation,


    in the vast world of the Myriad Demons Civilization, on a massive planet, a figure in black garment, Xue Yan, slowly descended from the warship.


    "Xue Yan," the black-robed elder Demigod smiled, "the East Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity have both arrived, waiting for you inside the palace. Go ahead."

 Chapter 333 Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_4

    "Yes," Xue Yan nodded, a trace of unease in his heart.


    "The master has planned everything."


    "Soul Control is usually something only divine beings can perform," Xue Yan thought to himself. "East Demon and Bei Yue probably won''t guess... and the master''s Soul Imprint has perfectly merged with my soul, they shouldn''t be able to sense it either."


    Whoosh!


    Xue Yan flew into the distant majestic temple.


    ...


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Ming Mountain.


    Numerous massive Flying Heaven Beast Kings hung in the void, nearly three hundred in number, incredibly silent, all gazing towards the distant vacuum where a figure resembled a Fire Kirin.


    Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was emitting a majestic and vast aura, his cold eyes scanning each Flying Heaven Beast King.


    "If we win this battle, the Myriad Scales Beast Clan can continue to thrive securely," the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor said coldly. "Therefore, I do not want any Beast King to slack off."


    "Myriad Scales Beast Emperor," a discordant voice arose as a Green Snake solemnly spoke. "How could we ally with the Seven Star Civilization? Can we trust them? It was the Spirit Gun that carried out massive slaughters against us; if we must ally, it should be with the Tianliang Civilization."


    "Qing Sheng?"


    "This is the third time you have opposed me," the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor''s eyes turned frosty. "For the sake of your father, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I didn''t pursue the matter the last two times... but today, you dare to waver in solidarity?"


    "There''s a limit to everything!" the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor shook his head.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor moved, streaking across like a blazing red comet, his speed terrifying.


    "I, Beast Emperor, I was wrong..." Qing Sheng Beast King''s face changed, and he quickly tried to plead for mercy.


    But it was too late.


    "Slash!" Blood splattered as the massive body of the Green Snake was torn into two by Myriad Scales Beast Emperor''s sharp claws.


    Qing Sheng Beast King, dead!


    Facing a Level 36 Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, a common Beast King like him had absolutely no power to resist.


    "Anyone else have objections?" the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, bathed in blood, imposing, his icy gaze sweeping across.


    All the Flying Heaven Beast Kings lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact.


    "Depart."


    "Target, Tianliang Civilization Base," commanded the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Hundreds of Beast Kings set off mightily.


    ...


    One day later.


    Inside a Fourth Rank Battleship at Bright Moon Base, numerous Martial Artists with Flying Heaven Level strength were shocked as they looked at the scene on the screen.


    "This?"


    "The Tianliang Civilization Base, destroyed?"


    "Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, such formidable strength! Even the main cannon of the Fourth Rank Battleship couldn''t fully lock on him."


    "It''s because there were too many Flying Heaven Beast Kings," Tavares, Jiang Zai, Li Yang, Luo Chan, and others were quietly discussing, their voices filled with awe.


    They had not anticipated.


    Unexpectedly, the Mingxu Beast Clan would be attacked by the Tianliang Civilization Base... until it was completely breached.


    The strength of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was too powerful.


    Eventually, at the cost of losing over fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings, the Mingxu Beast Clan completely breached the base, and after suffering heavy casualties, the remnants of Tianliang Civilization retreated from the Mingxu Star Realm.


    At this point, the last strategic stronghold of Tianliang Civilization in the Mingxu Star Realm was declared annihilated.


    Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Tianliang Civilization has been attacked."


    "Who will be next?"


    "It''s hard to say." These Martial Artists were somewhat panicked.


    Suddenly.


    "Ladies and gentlemen," said Li Yuan, standing at the front of the team, "there''s no need to worry about the Mingxu Beast Clan launching an attack on us."


    "I had a confrontation with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor in the Ming Mountain, and it was difficult to determine a winner; ultimately, we came to an agreement."


    "The boundary line will be set at Ming Mountain and the Earth Dragon Gorge, with one side belonging to the Mingxu Beast Clan," Li Yuan spoke softly, "The other side, spanning 20,000 kilometers, will belong to our Seven Star Civilization."


    "From now on, there will be peace," Li Yuan declared.


    "What? A 20,000-kilometer territory? An agreement with the Spirit Gun and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor?"


    "Is this agreement reliable?"


    "The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor couldn''t handle the Spirit Gun?" The martial artists were both shocked and incredulous.


    They knew the Spirit Gun was powerful, having apparently reached the Flying Heaven Peak, but the strength revealed by the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor during the attack on the Tianliang Civilization Base was even more terrifying... With a slight calculation, these martial artists understood that if the Spirit Gun could force the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor into making an agreement, he must have become even more fearsome than six months ago.


    How could they not be shocked?


    After all, the Spirit Gun was still a Prime Warrior, yet his strength could progress so rapidly time after time? What kind of monster was this!


    ...


    In the beginning, many Flying Heaven Warriors were skeptical of the Spirit Gun''s statements.


    However, not long after, a Flying Heaven Beast King came as an emissary, which again caused a stir.


    This agreement! Could it be true?


    But still, was it reliable? Many questioned in their hearts. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Inside a secret chamber of a warship, there were only three people.


    "Tavares, Jiang Zai," Li Yuan, completely enveloped in a black garment, looked at the two men.


    "Spirit Gun." The two of them were quite respectful.


    Over time, they had grown to admire this mysterious Prime Warrior from their civilization; he was truly terrifying.


    He was much stronger than Yu Jinghe.


    "You two will be the highest commanders here, so I''m telling you the truth," Li Yuan spoke softly: "The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor is actually under my control."


    "What?"


    "The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor is your servant?" Both Tavares and Jiang Zai were shocked.


    They weren''t fools and immediately thought of many possibilities.


    "This so-called agreement."


    "It''s just to cover up the truth," Li Yuan looked at them and said: "The 20,000-kilometer territory is temporarily sufficient for our Seven Star Civilization to propagate and extract resources... Once your strength progresses further, reaching the Flying Heaven Peak and eventually becoming Semi-Divine, then we can completely eliminate the Mingxu Beast Clan."


    "The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor will secretly suppress the proliferation of the Mingxu Beast Clan and step by step cooperate with you," Li Yuan continued: "Also, regarding the information about the Divine Land, once it''s collated, with your access level, you will be able to view it."


    "Eventually, you''ll also be able to enter it and see if you receive the Divine Being Inheritance," Li Yuan smiled.


    "Yes," Tavares and Jiang Zai now completely believed the Spirit Gun''s words.


    "By the way," Li Yuan finally said: "Although you reside permanently in the Star Realm, it''s not impossible to leave; actually, besides upgrading the Star Realm, there is another way."


    This was something Li Yuan had found in the data gifted by Qiu Bingzun.


    "What way?" Both Tavares and Jiang Zai felt a glimmer of hope rise in their hearts.


    "Ascend to God!"


    "Once you become divine, you can break the bonds of the Star Realm and enter the Starry Sky Space Rift," Li Yuan said: "and regain your freedom."


    ...


    After sending off Tavares and Jiang Zai, who were full of thoughts, the Quiet Chamber welcomed its last visitor.


    "Spirit Gun, what is it that you need?" Li Yang asked.


    However, Li Yang was very perplexed; as an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, why had he been summoned?


    Boom! The door of the Quiet Chamber closed.


    "Teacher," Li Yuan''s mind moved, and he put away his Phantom Spirit Garment, revealing his face, and bowed respectfully: "I was disrespectful before, I hope you can forgive me, teacher."


    "Li Yuan? You''re the Spirit Gun?" Li Yang widened his eyes, his mind buzzing.


    "My student, the Spirit Gun?"

 Chapter 334 Where My Heart Finds Peace! Huge Reward

    Li Yang was indeed shocked.


    It should be noted that since the virtual battle on Blue Star ended two years ago, his contact with Li Yuan had become infrequent.


    After hosting Li Yuan''s graduation ceremony at Kunlun Martial University, although both headed to Feixing, they went to different places.


    To put it bluntly, the two hadn''t met for nearly two years, and there hadn''t been much contact in between.


    Li Yang knew that Li Yuan was growing rapidly and was reportedly a member of the Seven Stars Mountain.


    But!! Until just moments ago, he couldn''t believe that the "Spirit Gun," famed throughout the Foreign Civilization as the strongest Prime Warrior in history, was Li Yuan.


    It was absurd.


    How long had Li Yuan been cultivating? How could he possibly achieve the peak battle power of a Flying Heaven-level warrior?


    Yet the truth was right before his eyes.


    "I understand now," Li Yang quickly figured it out, his face still filled with disbelief, "I''ve always wondered why I had never heard of the Spirit Gun before the great battle in the Rob Sea."


    "Why the Spirit Gun never showed his true face... So that''s it." Li Yang shook his head, sighing, "It''s you! No wonder you needed to conceal your identity."


    It didn''t take long for Li Yang to understand.


    Public records stated that the Spirit Gun was over 50 years old and had already shocked various Foreign Civilizations.


    If people knew the Spirit Gun was not yet 21? It would cause an upheaval!


    After figuring everything out, Li Yang shook his head and said, "Li Yuan, what you did was wrong. You being the Spirit Gun must be the highest secret within our civilization, and not many people must know... You really didn''t need to tell me."


    "Given my power and status, I shouldn''t know about this." Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said, "Now that I know, there''s a risk of a leak."


    Li Yang had always taken pride in mentoring a disciple like ''Li Yuan'', but at this moment, his heart was filled with worry... One step beyond the ordinary makes a genius.


    And Li Yuan? He''s gone far beyond the ordinary, and the turmoil he might face in the future is beyond what Li Yang could imagine.


    Subconsciously, Li Yang thought of Wu Manong.


    When Wu Manong died, Li Yang watched helplessly as a peerless genius fell.


    And Li Yuan, he was ten times, a hundred times more monstrous than Wu Manong!


    "I didn''t tell you the truth earlier because there were other considerations," Li Yuan said, "But now, the conflict in Ming Xu has concluded, and I am about to leave, not knowing when I might advance to the Flying Heaven level... If I don''t tell you now, there might be even fewer opportunities later."


    After leaving the Ming Xu Star Realm, for safety, Li Yuan would soon head to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Before reaching the Flying Heaven level, Li Yuan wouldn''t easily return to the Ming Xu Star Realm; for safety''s sake, there would hardly be a direct reason to meet Li Yang. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And since Li Yang had reached the Flying Heaven level, he couldn''t leave the Ming Xu Star Realm either.


    "We can always meet in the virtual network," Li Yang shook his head.


    "Virtual is still virtual," Li Yuan looked at Li Yang, "Master has been very kind to his students. If I don''t see you one last time... I won''t be at peace."


    Over the years of cultivation, the only ones in Li Yuan''s heart who were teachers were Xu Bo, Li Yang, and Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    And Xu Bo had passed away, Lie Feng Semi Divine was missing.


    Only Li Yang was left, and he would also be confined in the Ming Xu Star Realm for a long time.


    As for Ancient Torch Divine? Western Goodman Divine? They weren''t truly part of his life, so naturally, there was no emotional connection.


    "You!" Li Yang looked helplessly, yet there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.


    "Master." Li Yuan suddenly waved his hand, and two storage treasures flew out of his palm towards Li Yang, "I''m in a hurry coming and going, didn''t prepare any special gifts, and direct transfer could draw unnecessary attention... Consider these items as farewell gifts from your disciple."


    "These?" Li Yang was startled, and his divine sense unwittingly swept over them, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes, "So many weapons and treasures? That''s too much!!"


    After a brief inquiry, he knew how many treasures these two storage items contained.


    With Li Yang''s vision, a quick estimate made it clear, these were probably worth tens of thousands of points.


    This was an astounding fortune for him, who was just at level 31.


    "Master, you know, these treasures mean little to me," Li Yuan smiled, "Please accept them." Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire


    Except for the treasures of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and Xue Yan, to avoid detection, Li Yuan hadn''t touched them.


    The other, numerous powerful beings he had slain, the treasures they yielded weren''t particularly precious but were abundant in quantity.


    Those left behind by the likes of Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, Rolbis, Fu Yuan... The number of treasures was substantial.


    What he gifted to Li Yang was just a small portion.


    "Of course."


    "These treasures, most of which don''t suit you, just sell them slowly, sell them occasionally, enough to meet your own cultivation needs," Li Yuan said, "If you encounter any problems or needs in your future cultivation, you can message me."


    "As a student, I''ll definitely do my best to help you." Li Yuan earnestly said.


    Eventually, Li Yang accepted them, persuaded by Li Yuan.


    "They say you are my student," Li Yang shook his head and sighed, "But truthfully, you''ve helped me more. The previous Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit... And now, you''re giving me so many treasures, most at the peak of Flying Heaven, probably don''t have this much wealth."


    "In my heart, I''ve always felt guilty," Li Yuan shook his head, "If I hadn''t had that Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit back then, Master might not have broken through... And probably wouldn''t have been trapped in the Ming Xu Star Realm."


    Li Yuan had indeed thought about this.


    "You are wrong."


    "Li Yuan, what''s there to feel guilty about?" Li Yang couldn''t help but laugh, "If I hadn''t come, wouldn''t someone else have? I volunteered for the war in the Ming Xu Star Realm."


    "Do you remember Fan Jin?" Li Yang said sentimentally.


    "Teacher Fan Jin?" Li Yuan nodded.


    How could he possibly forget?


    "He died in battle in the Kunlun Star Realm, and I also participated in that urgent operation," a hint of reminiscence flashed in Li Yang''s eyes as he sighed, "Yet I was powerless..."

 Chapter 334 - Where My Heart Is At Peace! Huge Reward_2

    "War always requires someone to step forward, and although I can''t be like you, contributing to Xia Country and the Seven Star Civilization is a fulfillment enough for me," Li Yang said with a laugh as he looked at Li Yuan, "Besides, I''ve already received the order, I should be the first principal of the future ''Mingxu Martial Arts University.''"


    "Principal?" Li Yuan was startled.


    "Old Hai always says that it''s time for me to take over."


    "Now, he''s still the dean, yet I''m about to become a principal," Li Yang smiled. "Teaching and nurturing, isn''t it the same everywhere?"


    "Right," Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile; he could tell that Li Yang meant his words sincerely.


    "You should be leaving soon."


    "There''s nothing else left to teach," Li Yang looked at Li Yuan, "just one piece of advice." S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t take too many risks, stay alive, being alive is more important than anything!"


    ...


    After parting with Li Yang, Li Yang also had a soul communication with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and gave a final instruction.


    Then,


    he had already arrived at the entrance to the Mingxu Star Realm, which was under martial law, temporarily preventing anyone from passing through.


    "Liu Bing, prepare to leave the Mingxu Star Realm," Li Yuan transmitted his soul, "Once we enter the Seven Star Civilization, without my command, try to stay in the Heavenly Snake Hall, and do not appear unless I allow it."


    "Okay, big brother," Liu Bing''s crisp voice rang out, "But big brother, my absence is predicated on the fact that it does not threaten your life... If you encounter a life-threatening situation, I''ll definitely intervene."


    "Mm," Li Yuan did not retort.


    By the time Liu Bing has trained multiple Supreme Star Techniques to the Second Rank Limit... her strength might even surpass his.


    After all, Liu Bing''s True Intent Comprehension was already at the semi-divine level.


    And judging by the growth rate of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, it might not be many years before she can step into the threshold of the Wind Law.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, flying directly through the ripple-covered expanse of the Star Realm Passage.


    Crossing the ripples,


    Li Yuan found himself in another world, also a war base, though the atmosphere was notably different.


    "Xia Country!"


    "Home feels really different; the soul itself seems much more at ease," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Not far away awaited a group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    "Spirit Gun."


    "Greetings, Spirit Gun, welcome back," several Flying Heaven Warriors came forward with smiles, even showing some deference.

    So much time had passed.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors were well aware of the terrifying record of achievements Spirit Gun had created in the Ming Xu Star Realm.


    "Senior Yun," Li Yuan nodded.


    Half a year ago, when he had passed through this war base to go to the Ming Xu Star Realm, it was also these Flying Heaven Warriors who had welcomed him.


    "There''s no need to call me senior."


    "In terms of strength, Spirit Gun, you are much stronger than me," said the warrior surnamed Yun with a smile, "Welcome back victorious. Would you like to sit down for a meal together?"


    "No thanks, I have things to do," Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Senior Yun, if there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving now."


    "Alright," the Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun didn''t stop him.


    Whizz!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the open-air passage above the hall.


    "Spirit Gun is really unrestrained."


    "Same as last time, not giving us any face," a Flying Heaven Warrior couldn''t help saying.


    "What status do we have in front of him to give us face? Don''t think too highly of yourself," another countered, "We all owe him."


    "If he hadn''t subdued the Ming Xu Star Realm, I fear our place here would now be the front line of preparations for war."


    "Let''s just hope he can continue to grow," the warrior surnamed Yun sighed, "The stronger he is, the better it is for the entire civilization, and it benefits all of us."


    "Senior Yun," said Li Yuan coldly, "Don''t waste time. The battle situation is urgent; better open the passage quickly so I can get through."


    ...


    Outside it was night.


    Flying away from the war base and into the nearby void, Li Yuan paused, sensing something.


    A speck of ''Dust'' floated leisurely through the void, landing on his shoulder.


    It was the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Since Li Yuan had returned to Blue Star, he had been able to sense the presence of the Ancient Divine Palace, and even communicate with Gu You inside it.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking towards the not-so-distant spot.


    In the void invisible to ordinary people, Li Yuan could clearly feel two figures, one black and one white, rapidly approaching.


    After condensing his True Intent, he could distort light during flight, concealing his tracks, making it difficult for ordinary people at a distance to detect him.


    But opponents at the same level can feel the changes in the Power of Heaven and Earth, mere distortion of light is not enough to hide from them.


    Soon,


    "Principal, Senior Bai Shan," Li Yuan bowed as a greeting.


    "Well done, you haven''t let us down," Bai Shan Semi-Divine smiled, "I have already heard the general situation from your principal, I must thank you on behalf of Xia Country."


    "If the Ming Xu Star Realm were occupied by the Seven Star Civilization, I fear that our Xia Country would never have peace," Bai Shan Semi-Divine reflected.


    "Senior, I too am a person of Xia Country," Li Yuan said.


    Li Yuan had some guesses in his heart; probably many core secrets of the Seven Star Civilization were unknown to Bai Shan Semi-Divine... Now, it seems the Alliance Hierarch, Lant Semi-Divine, and Principal Fang Hai are likely the core layer.


    Myself? Can only say just touched on some secrets, prepared to be in the core layer.


    ...


    "The Ming Xu conflict is resolved, and your meritorious deeds have been approximately estimated," Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, "Your contribution is the greatest, especially regarding the Divine Being Inheritance in the Civilization Mothership, plus the vast resources of the entire Ming Xu Star Realm."


    "It could be said that, if calculated in Seven Stars Points, it might be an astronomical number," Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head, "But the treasures of the entire civilization are ultimately finite, and the early contest over the Star Realm drained a lot of resources."


    "Next, in exploring the Ming Xu Star Realm, it will require a massive investment of resources..."

 Chapter 334 - Where My Heart Is At Peace! Huge Reward_3

    "So, after various assessments by multiple demigods,"


    "In the end, you were assigned 3 million Seven Stars Points," Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile to Li Yuan, "Don''t think it''s too little."


    "3 million? That''s a lot," Li Yuan repeatedly said.


    3 million Seven Stars Points, equivalent to 30 Fangshen Crystals... For most demigods, that was absolutely a huge sum.


    Li Yuan truly hadn''t expected the reward to be so high.


    Yes!


    The Alien God inheritances within the Civilization Mothership, the resources of the Mingxu Star Realm... Once unearthed, their value would be incredibly astounding.


    But the key point was, they hadn''t been unearthed yet.


    Over the past few years, the Seven Star Civilization had been continuously pouring investments into the wars involving the Mingxu Star Realm.


    And they hadn''t seen much return yet.


    "Not much," Fang Hai said with a laugh beside him, "As long as you don''t think it''s too little, it''s fine since taking out so many Seven Stars Points must have been after careful evaluation. Just be at ease when accepting it."


    "Those who contribute to the civilization deserve to be rewarded."


    Fang Hai said, "Thus, the whole civilization can operate smoothly; don''t break this rule."


    "Otherwise, if you have other gains and don''t care about these Seven Star Points and don''t take them, but what about other Flying Heaven Warriors and demigods? Will they also not take them?" Fang Hai said, "Over time, it would cause the motivation of many powerful beings to decrease."


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded and no longer refused.


    Quickly, Li Yuan received a notification that 3 million Seven Stars Points had already been credited to his account in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    Once he entered the Flying Heaven Level,


    At that time, to cultivate multiple secret techniques, these points would be useful.


    "Okay, Li Yuan, I''ll be leaving first," Bai Shan Semi-Divine smiled.


    Li Yuan saluted, watching as the other left.


    "Li Yuan, are you going straight back to the Martial Divine Star Realm, or what?" Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    "Principal, I want to return to Jiang City for a few days," Li Yuan said in a low voice, "I haven''t been back in a long time, either."


    "To see your family?" Fang Hai nodded, "Alright, then I will secretly follow and protect you these next few days, and I won''t interfere with whatever you want to do."


    "Can I reveal my whereabouts?" Li Yuan asked in return.


    If he couldn''t reveal them, then he would meet his family privately.


    People like Wan Qinghe would be inconvenient to meet.


    "Just keep a low profile," Fang Hai said, "As long as no demigods personally come, you''re safe on Blue Star."


    "As Li Yuan, the Alien Race probably won''t send a demigod," Fang Hai said. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Understood."


    ... Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai transformed into two streaks of flowing light flying in the void.


    Along the way, they looked down at the land below.


    At the moment, it was 5 in the morning, and there was a slight glow at the edge of the sky.


    And along the way, passing through bustling towns of Xia Country, Jiangnan Province, and other provinces, most lights were bright, with the vast majority of people still sleeping.


    But on many streets, numerous vendors had already begun their work for the new day.


    Time passed, and after six o''clock,


    With Li Yuan''s vision, he could see that, in some towns'' schools, many students had already started their morning exercises... full of vigor.


    These scenes made Li Yuan think back to himself several years ago.


    "Numerous demigods defending locations in the Seven Stars."


    "Countless Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors venturing into the star realms, seizing resources... Everything, isn''t it just for this scene?" Li Yuan silently pondered.


    At this moment, his resolve grew even stronger.


    He would forever guard this land, protect this planet, and continue in peace.


    ...


    Several hours later, as daylight broke, Li Yuan and Fang Hai had entered Jiangbei Province.


    "Jiangbei Province is known for its many lakes," Fang Hai remarked.


    "The Province of Thousand Lakes," Li Yuan shook his head, "That''s why every summer, the floods are also severe."


    "Every advantage has its disadvantage," Fang Hai laughed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    "Jiang City, we''re almost there," Fang Hai pointed towards the distant city, now vaguely visible, and said, "Go on, I''ll be always guarding in the void."


    "My battleship has arrived."


    Whoosh~


    A massive battleship from the distant void approached, the hatch opened, and Fang Hai directly entered the battleship.


    Subsequently, the surface of the battleship burst into light and almost completely vanished.


    A truly invisible battleship.


    "Fourth Rank Battleship?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Later, I might also swap one to play with?"


    A Fourth Rank Battleship, one requires 100,000 Seven Stars Points to exchange, and it also requires at least the authority of the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Of course,


    Such a high price, most Flying Heaven Warriors simply couldn''t afford it; it was mostly demigods who went to exchange.


    And Li Yuan, both authority and points were sufficient.


    "Exchanging as Li Yuan might raise suspicions," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Let''s talk about it later."


    Whoosh! Li Yuan flew across several lakes, and not long after, Starfire South Lake Community was already visible in the distance.


    ...


    Inside Li Yuan''s family villa, today was destined to be exceptionally lively.


    "Brother!"


    "Big brother," two excited voices rang out, both rushing towards Li Yuan, filled with excitement.


    "Qianqian, Muhua," Li Yuan also showed a smile, having not seen his younger siblings for several years, they had both grown up.


    They say a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and adulthood, Li Qianqian turned out graceful and elegant, quite similar to his youthful aunt.


    Li Muhua, however, resembled Li Yuan somewhat, just a bit broader and more robust.


    Both of them were about to enter their final year of high school.


    "Xiao Yuan," Chen Hui called out.


    "Aunt, Uncle," Li Yuan also walked forward swiftly.


    Chen Hui couldn''t help but pat Li Yuan, examining him, seemingly worried that Li Yuan had lost weight.


    "It''s good you''re back safely," Li Changzhou smiled and said, "Come on, your aunt started early this morning and made a table full of delicious food, just waiting for you to return."


    "Good, I haven''t eaten Aunt''s cooking in a long time," Li Yuan smiled.


    After more than a year, the family was reunited.

    Jiang City City Martial Hall, twelfth floor.


    "The ''Flying Heaven Level'' from the Starfire Martial Hall?"


    "Passed through the city''s air defense system?"


    "Already entered Guan Mountain District?" Fei Qian looked at the report in his hand, filled with surprise.


    Someone like Li Yuan, flying in, would be detected by the city''s air defense system.


    But once identified, they would be granted direct passage.


    At the same time, the relevant information would also be reported to the likes of Jiang City military, Starfire Martial Hall, government, and so on¡ªall would receive the notification.


    "Who is it? How come I''m not aware?" Fei Qian pondered, attempting to query.


    The result actually showed ''the other party''s confidentiality level is too high to inquire''.


    This took Fei Qian by even greater surprise.


    Normally speaking, given his strength and status, he was at least entitled to know about ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors coming in.


    "Could it be, a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior from one of those days?" Fei Qian thought to himself, "Jiang City, after all, hasn''t produced many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors."


    "Could it be Lin Yue has come back? But he''s stationed at Rob Sea, he shouldn''t come back all of a sudden." Fei Qian pondered.


    He knew all the distinguished people who had emerged from Jiang City like the back of his hand.


    Suddenly.


    "Knock knock knock~" Someone knocked on the door.


    "Master, Vice Hall Master Wan Qinghe is here to visit." The voice of the auxiliary intelligence sounded.


    "Qinghe?" Fei Qian muttered to himself, then said, "Please, come in."


    The door opened.


    Wan Qinghe, dressed in green, walked in, directly closed the door, stepped forward, and greeted, "Elder Fei."


    "What''s the matter? Why so cautious?" Fei Qian straightened himself.


    "Li Yuan just came back and would like to invite you and me to dine." Wan Qinghe said softly.


    "Li Yuan?" Fei Qian was initially startled, then as if realizing something, he looked at the report in his hands.


    Guan Mountain District!!


    Just came back?


    It matches!!


    "Unable to inquire? If it really is him, does it mean Li Yuan''s status now rivals that of a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior?" Fei Qian was shocked.


    "What''s wrong?" Wan Qinghe asked, puzzled, "Elder Fei, won''t you go?"


    "Go! Of course, I must go." Fei Qian smiled, "Who else did he invite?"


    "No one else."


    "Just the two of us," Wan Qinghe laughed, "Next year, we go to his home."


    "Alright." Fei Qian''s smile grew even wider.


    ...


    Time passed.


    After returning to Jiang City, Li Yuan spent time with his family and also met with some old acquaintances in secret.


    People like Fei Qian, Wan Qinghe from the Martial Hall, and his high school teachers such as Teacher Chen, and Principal Tan Zhenlong, were all visited individually by Li Yuan, who showed his courtesy.


    Three days later, inside a villa at South Lake Starfire Martial Hall.


    "Uncle."


    "Starting this month, I will instruct Starfire Martial Hall to deliver Spiritual Liquid on time every month." Li Yuan said, "You and auntie must take it regularly and try to cultivate as much as possible."


    "For auntie, occasionally urge her to train her body as well to maximize the effects of the Spiritual Liquid." Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire


    "After a long time."


    "It should be enough to bring your Physical Quality up to Level 19." Li Yuan looked at Li Changzhou.


    "Fine." Li Changzhou could not refuse anymore.


    Through their recent interactions, he had vaguely sensed that his nephew had undergone earth-shattering changes.


    Those exotic treasures worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins were acquired with a wave of his hand.


    "It just so happens that I dreamed of becoming a Foundation Establishing Warrior when I was younger." Li Changzhou laughed, "I thought I was too old to have a chance, but with your treasures, perhaps I could give it a try."


    "Just right." Li Yuan smiled.


    To reach Level 20, one''s skills must reach the Fourth Level.


    This cannot be achieved simply by external means.


    Thus, the Spiritual Liquid for which Li Yuan spent dozens of points could only ensure that his uncle and auntie''s Physical Quality would eventually reach Level 19.


    The well-being of his family was Li Yuan''s greatest wish.


    "Uncle, I''ve already spoken with Hall Master Fei."


    "The Martial Hall will take Li Muhua''s training even more seriously and will continuously arrange for Prime Warriors to teach him, striving for him to get into Starfire University. If not, he should still be able to enter Kunlun Martial University." Li Yuan said.


    Li Muhua had quite decent talent and had been focusing on the Martial Path all along.


    Li Qianqian was far behind; she had chosen to pursue a cultural path, which Li Yuan did not interfere with.


    His sister''s talents and temperament meant she was not suited for the Martial Path; rather than forcing her... it was better to go along with her wishes.


    "Uncle, about Xu Ling, I''m afraid I''ll have to trouble you to check on him occasionally, as I have arranged a cultivation plan at Starfire Martial Hall for him, but I really don''t have the time to interact with him much more." Li Yuan said.


    Xu Ling, as Xu Bo''s direct descendant, Li Yuan always remembered his teacher''s last wishes.


    He treated Xu Ling and Li Muhua the same.


    "Yes, I will." Li Changzhou nodded, "He and Muhua also get along well."


    Li Yuan smiled, with his uncle around, there was no need for him to worry too much about home.


    ...


    After saying goodbye to his family.


    Li Yuan did not rush to leave Jiang City, instead, he concealed his aura, traveled through the void, and arrived at the southernmost tip of Guan Mountain District ¨C a special cemetery ¨C the Heroes'' Mausoleum.


    Those buried here were all the heroes who had made great sacrifices to protect their home and country in the history of Jiang City.


    Huh!


    Li Yuan twisted the surrounding light so as not to disturb others, gently landing in front of a gravestone. There were fresh flowers in front of the tombstone, indicating it was frequently visited.


    "Teacher." Li Yuan waved, and several bottles of liquor appeared out of thin air, gently falling down.


    Only later did Li Yuan find out from Tan Zhenlong that Xu Bo had a great love for fine liquor.


    But since returning injured back in the day, he seldom drank to suppress his condition.


    "If there''s a chance in the future."


    "I will definitely bring all the fine liquor I can find in this world as a tribute to my teacher." Li Yuan murmured to himself, pouring out the liquor bottle by bottle.


    Finally, he bowed respectfully.


    And took off into the sky.


    ...


    High in the sky, Fang Hai had been waiting for a long time, a warship floating next to him.


    "Principal, thank you for your help." Li Yuan said.


    In the past few days, Fang Hai had been keeping watch around him.


    "It''s fine, I''ve been cultivating there anyway." Fang Hai shook his head, "The one you just paid tribute to, is that the high school teacher mentioned in the records?"


    "Yes." Li Yuan nodded.


    Fang Hai patted Li Yuan on the shoulder, not asking further, he sighed, "Let''s go, I''ll take you to the Martial Divine Star Realm."


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two of them entered the warship.


    ...


    The journey was uneventful.


    Half a day later, Fang Hai delivered Li Yuan to the War Base just outside the Martial Divine Star Realm before turning back.


    In recent years, Fang Hai had mostly been stationed in the Kunlun Star Realm, seldom leaving for long.


    Huh!


    As soon as Li Yuan crossed the Star Realm Passage, arriving inside the Star Realm, he sensed many life forces on a huge platform.


    Among them, one aura was very familiar.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but look over.


    A figure in a pale red robe was waiting not far away, smiling, "Li Yuan."


    Li Yuan also showed a smile.

 Chapter 335 Three Years Later in the Blink of an Eye

    "Lanyue."


    Li Yuan took the initiative to meet her, smiling as he said, "What brings you here?"


    "Weren''t you supposed to arrive in the Martial Divine Star Realm around ten o''clock?" Clad in red, Lin Lanyue revealed a smile, "So I thought I''d come here to wait for you."


    "There was no need to do that ¡ª as soon as I returned, I naturally would have..." Li Yuan said.


    "It''s not the same," Lin Lanyue interrupted Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan paused, his spiritual power was now so formidable that he could naturally sense the slight emotional change in Lin Lanyue.


    "Li Yuan, let''s head back first," Lin Lanyue spoke softly: "There are too many people here."


    "Mhm." Li Yuan nodded, his gaze briefly sweeping over the distance. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Many Prime Warriors stationed at the Star Realm Passage couldn''t help but look over.


    Although the Prime Warriors here were certainly trusted immensely, it was best to be cautious in all matters.


    "Take my vehicle," Lin Lanyue said.


    "I will take you back," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    He didn''t wait for Lin Lanyue to refuse.


    With just a thought from Li Yuan, an invisible force already enveloped Lin Lanyue, and together they flew towards the end of the earth ¡ª towards the Martial Divine Hall and Seven Star Mountain.


    ...High above, the wind howled ferociously.


    "You didn''t even wait for my agreement," Lin Lanyue said helplessly, feeling the invisible force around her.


    "It''s faster this way," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two of them flew at high speed.


    "The conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm has ended, I''ve heard," Lin Lanyue asked: "What''s next? Are you going out again?"


    Earlier at the Star Realm entrance, with so many people and eyes around, she had refrained from asking.


    "I won''t be going out for a while," Li Yuan said: "In the next few years, before I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, I should mostly be staying in the Martial Divine Star Realm."


    The Martial Divine Star Realm was safe enough to ensure that no Semi Divine Level beings of the Alien Race would invade.


    "Mhm mhm." Lin Lanyue grinned.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan spoke with a hint of apology in his voice: "Lanyue, I''ve made you worry these past few months."


    If not for San Ye Semi Divine urging Lin Lanyue to call him and hinting to her that he was the Spirit Gun,


    she wouldn''t have been worried all this time.


    Hearing this, Lin Lanyue was momentarily stunned, her eyes brimming with a touch of radiance: "It''s fine, as long as you have returned safely."


    Lin Lanyue''s feelings for Li Yuan were quite complex.


    In high school, they were in different classes and always maintained a healthy competition; later, as Li Yuan''s advancement quickened and considering her unique upbringing, Lin Lanyue found much resonance with him, and she could feel the effort behind Li Yuan''s growth.


    At that time, she greatly admired Li Yuan.


    Therefore, she had helped Li Yuan many times, and even pleaded with her uncle and brother to assist when Li Changzhou was injured.


    At that time, she harbored a hint of affection for him.


    Later, as they entered different universities and their interactions dwindled, Lin Lanyue kept her feelings to herself, unexpressed, because her primary pursuit was to prove to the Blazing Flame Family that her mother''s choice was correct and to rescue her mother.


    It wasn''t until her ordeal within the World within Worlds when, after many hardships, she managed to gain recognition from the Fire System Divine¡­ Li Yuan came to her rescue.


    At the time, Lin Lanyue was overwhelmed with joy and excitement because she felt... Li Yuan cared for her.


    In the World within Worlds, she faced the test of the Fire System Divine so quickly, partly because she wanted to head to the Martial Divine Star Realm sooner.

    Then, later on.


    Li Yuan''s growth became increasingly rapid and brilliant, and when Lin Lanyue learned he was the Spirit Gun, she was shocked and happy for Li Yuan... Until the recent conflict within the Mingxu Star Realm, where the news of Li Yuan''s death had left her heartbroken.


    Even with some self-blame, Lin Lanyue thought that if she had not gone to the Fierce Feather Star Realm to send a message to Li Yuan, maybe he would not have died.


    Until a few days ago.


    When she received Li Yuan''s communication and learned he was still alive, her excitement was unimaginable.


    "I saw your message," Li Yuan said with a smile: "You''ve achieved Fifth Stage Perfection in your skills so quickly, you must be the fastest cultivator in the Martial Divine Star Realm outside of myself these past two years."


    "Alicia''s breakthrough was a bit faster than mine," Lin Lanyue said.


    "She''s two years older than us," Li Yuan said with a smile: "Moreover, when she was at Fifth Stage Skill, you were only at Fourth Stage High Rank."


    "Li Yuan," Lin Lanyue smiled helplessly: "You know better than anyone that my progress is so fast because my bloodline power plays a big part."


    "There are many in the Blazing Flame Family who have awakened their bloodlines, yet why are you the only one to achieve success?" Li Yuan said with a smile: "Don''t sell yourself short."


    "By the way."


    "In a few years, once you''ve condensed the True Meaning of Fire, you could try going to the Mingxu Star Realm," Li Yuan suggested: "You could see if you can attain the inheritance of the Fire System Alien God."


    "Fire System Alien God?" Lin Lanyue was puzzled.


    "I''ll tell you about the Mingxu Star Realm," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Alright." Lin Lanyue nodded vigorously.


    She was curious about Li Yuan''s experiences and added, "I hope it doesn''t involve any secrets."


    "You''re at the Flying Heaven Peak level now, what I''m telling you is within your rights to know," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Time passed.


    The two soared across the Vast Sky, one speaking, the other listening.


    Listening to Li Yuan recount his struggles with the Beast King and Beast Emperor, his adventures on the Civilization Mothership,


    Lin Lanyue came to know what Li Yuan had been through and understood the immense contributions he had made for their entire civilization.


    After a long while.


    "We''re at my residence," Lin Lanyue looked down at the continuous palatial estates below, "Li Yuan, I''ll go down first, see you later."


    "Mhm." Li Yuan nodded.


    Whoosh!


    Lin Lanyue leaped and gracefully descended dozens of meters, landing lightly in front of the mansion, turned back to nod at Li Yuan, and then Li Yuan soared into the sky, flying towards Seven Star Mountain.


    "Seven Star Mountain?"


    "I will also ascend Seven Star Mountain come July this year," Lin Lanyue pledged silently in her heart.

 Chapter 335 Three Years Later_2

    ...


    He returned to his long-missed dwelling in Seven Star Mountain.


    It was deathly silent, not a soul in sight.


    Apart from Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan had not yet told any other friends from Seven Star Mountain of his return.


    He went straight to the Quiet Chamber.


    "All matters at home are settled."


    "I am at peace," Li Yuan silently recited, "it''s time to continue working hard on my cultivation."


    Li Yuan knew that his talents and strength meant he would never be an ordinary person who could enjoy happy times with his family.


    When the sky falls, the tall ones must hold it up.


    To the Seven Star Civilization, he was the future tall one.


    "Work hard!"


    "Stay focused! Do not slack off!" Li Yuan thought to himself, "The first thing to do is to sell all the useless items obtained from slaying other strong beings and exchange them for Seven Stars Points."


    "The second is to buy treasures and remove the ''Star Technique Star Marks'' from ''Nine Shadows Clone'' and then re-cultivate ''True Solution of Heaven Wind Star Meridian.''"


    "Then."


    "I will work hard to pursue the Eight Star Veins," Li Yuan muttered to himself, "The day I reach the Eight Star Veins will be the time I sweep through many Second Level Star Realms and achieve Flying Heaven."


    Buzz~


    With a thought, Li Yuan disappeared from the chamber, entering the Cave Heaven Treasure, ''Ancient Divine Palace.'' Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire


    Only two grains of dust hung in the void.


    "Huh? Where is Big Brother?" Liu Bing, who controlled the Heavenly Snake Hall, immediately felt her connection with Li Yuan weaken drastically, as if he had reached another space.


    She was shocked and tried to sense the outside world with her Divine Sense, but could find no trace of him.


    Shocked, she immediately thought of rushing out of the Heavenly Snake Hall to the outside world.


    "Little Bing, don''t panic," a gentle voice spoke, it was Qiu Bingzun.


    "Li Yuan entered another Cave Heaven Treasure, which seems to be a treasure he owns... Your big brother''s background is deeper than you think," Qiu Bingzun laughed.


    "Another Cave Heaven Treasure?" Liu Bing was even more surprised but felt slightly relieved, "The deeper Big Brother''s background, the happier I am."


    "Yes."


    "Continue your cultivation, and try not to let your big brother outdo you."


    ...


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, the vast, ancient main hall.


    Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere and immediately saw a girl in a white dress with bare little feet not far away: "Sister."


    "You finally decided to come in." Gu You said with a smiling face, "The harvest from your journey to the Star Realm seems substantial, even bringing out another Cave Heaven Treasure, which just now extended a force, trying to probe me."


    "But, the Ancient Divine Palace is not so easily disturbed," Gu You said, "That power was not very strong."


    "Heavenly Snake Hall?" A glint passed through Li Yuan''s eyes; this was within his expectations.


    He couldn''t fully control the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    In fact, Li Yuan guessed that Qiu Bingzun might have hidden some forces within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    Just like Ancient Torch Divine might leave some forces within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    "That''s another Spirit Beast I collected," Li Yuan shook his head, "related to the secrets of Ming Xu Star Realm..."


    As time passed, Li Yuan roughly narrated his experiences in the Ming Xu Star Realm to Gu You. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan still trusted Gu You considerably.


    At least, compared to Qiu Bingzun, Gu You was more trustworthy.


    Of course, things Li Yuan talked about, like Qiu Bingzun, Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, involving oaths of Law, couldn''t be directly mentioned.


    "Law oath? I understand,"


    "True God Heritage is not easy to obtain, each True God is a top-tier powerhouse in your Dimensional Domain," Gu You nodded, "But no matter, since that Cave Heaven Treasure belongs to your Spirit Beast and you have established a blood pact, she should be trustworthy and will eventually make a move... I will naturally observe secretly and analyze."


    "Whether you speak or not, it doesn''t make much difference."


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded.


    Instantly, Li Yuan changed the subject, "Sis, did you secretly deploy forces to infiltrate the virtual network of Blue Star?"


    "You knew?" Surprise flickered in Gu You''s eyes.


    "It was the Alliance Hierarch who told me," Li Yuan quickly told her everything.


    He also mentioned a little about the Seven Star Civilization.


    "What a Dongfang Ji."


    "Truly formidable! No wonder I felt hidden powers while inquiring into Blue Star, considering your words, it must be a planetary defense system," Gu You spoke somberly.


    "Civilization defense system?" Li Yuan was puzzled.


    "It''s a technological method that can protect the entire planet; looking at it now, Blue Star''s defense system is at least Fourth Rank, capable of resisting ninety-nine percent of demigods, and in terms of resource inquiry and anti-spying among many other aspects, it''s quite astonishing," the girl said, "Blue Star''s virtual network host... must be Sixth Rank, otherwise, it couldn''t block my inquiry."


    "Impressive!"


    "Your civilization''s depth is stronger than I thought."


    "Back in the day, only a few important planets in father''s territory could reach this level of defense system," the girl marvelled.


    Li Yuan listened in astonishment.


    Does Blue Star really have such a defense system?


    But previously, why had he never heard of it? When Blue Star faced minor invasions, why didn''t the defense system come into play?


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan recalled what the Alliance Hierarch had said, "A sense of crisis is necessary for the advancement of the entire civilization."


    "Perhaps, without demigod-level invasions causing massive casualties, even if there truly is a planetary defense system, it may not act," Li Yuan sighed internally, "Alliance Hierarch, how many secrets are you still hiding?"


    "Okay."


    "Since your Alliance Hierarch is so competent, I will withdraw many of the forces I dispatched," Gu You smiled.


    "Sis."


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but say, "In the future, if you have similar actions, could you let me know first?"

 Chapter 335 Three Years Later_3

    Li Yuan''s voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.


    "Alright." Gu You revealed a smile, "Actually, I just wanted to find out the details of your civilization to prepare for the future, since one can never be too cautious."


    "But now it seems that your civilization is very strong and values you highly... It is I who have been too cautious." Gu You said, "Your strength is also growing ever stronger. From now on, I will seek your opinion." Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire


    "Alright." Li Yuan responded. He wouldn''t demand too much from Gu You.


    "Brother."


    "You just said that your civilization is very close to the ''Nine Leaves Nine Mountains'' on the outskirts of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?" Gu You said.


    "Yes."


    "This is your opportunity, you must seize it." Gu You looked at Li Yuan, "Since you already know many secrets, I will not hide from you that my father descended to this Dimensional Domain from the Divine Realm indeed for the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain... but ultimately he failed."


    "The Battle of the Gods, my father was defeated by other deities and thus died." Gu You shook his head, "Last time, Xiao Huo sensed that the ''Chi Yan Deity'' from the Immortal Ruins Civilization had severely wounded the True Phoenix."


    "I will not hide from you now, among those who besieged my father, there were two native True Gods, but I don''t know if they belong to the True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization." Gu You looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was secretly shocked.


    Two native True Gods?


    "Our Dimensional Domain has native True Gods?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "There should be."


    "In a Dimensional Domain, vast and expansive, even if there are only a few hundred God Level Civilizations... it''s quite normal for True Gods to be born over the long years." Gu You said, "Like the enemies of your Seven Star Civilization¡ª the Myriad Demons Civilization, haven''t they produced True Gods in their history?"


    "Right." Li Yuan nodded, also feeling the pressure.


    Although the entire Dimensional Domain is far less than the Divine Realm, he has also received the heritage of two True Gods... but just the enemies within the Dimensional Domain are already quite formidable.


    A Demigod only dominates within a civilization.


    A Pseudo-God is a local overlord.


    A True God is the dominating existence in the Dimensional Domain.


    "However, your talent is extremely high, and if you awaken the Eight Star Veins as you said, it may be unprecedented in the Dimensional Domain for millions of years."


    Gu You looked at Li Yuan, "You are also a native being, favored by the origin of this Dimensional Domain, the hope of unlocking the secrets of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the future is much greater than my father''s."


    Li Yuan nodded, his heart still full of ambition.


    Time passed, and after a long conversation with Gu You, Li Yuan received much guidance and left the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ...


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside a very special building.


    "Mountain Lord."


    "These many weapons and treasures, our Seven Stars Treasury can offer the highest price after tax of approximately 126,000 Seven Stars Points." The leading Flying Heaven Level Appraiser said respectfully.


    "Good, it will be 126,000 Seven Stars Points." Duanmu Hong said.


    Immediately, he allowed the other party to take away a large number of ordinary treasures, including over a hundred Storage Treasures.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan walked out from behind the scenes.


    "Li Yuan, you heard as well." Duanmu Hong looked at Li Yuan, "126,000 Seven Stars Points after tax, don''t think it''s too little."


    "It''s enough, I appreciate your trouble, Mountain Lord," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    These points treasures were left over from the killing of those ordinary Flying Heavens, alien race geniuses, some of which were given to Teacher Li Yang... Normally, there wouldn''t be so many treasures, but people like Fu Yuan carried treasures almost equal to those at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Plus, they got quite a few treasures from the Six Great Alien Gods.


    In the end, all were to Li Yuan''s benefit.


    If he sold them directly under the identity of ''Li Yuan,'' it would attract too much attention, so Li Yuan turned to Duanmu Hong.


    "You got quite a haul in the Mingxu Star Realm." Duanmu Hong mused.


    "It''s decent, thank you Mountain Lord." Li Yuan said with a smile. The most valuable treasure he acquired this time was the Deity Visualization Method.


    However, Li Yuan did not plan to sell it just yet.


    Sell it to the Seven Star Civilization? No! It would be most worthwhile to trade it with a Demigod within the civilization when he was strong enough.


    ...


    Before long, Li Yuan''s account received 126,000 Seven Stars Points. He then spent over ten thousand points to buy a large number of treasures.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    "First, wash away the ''Nine Shadows Clone'' from the Perfect Star Vein." Li Yuan sensed the large number of Exotic Treasures floating around him.


    La la la~


    With his spiritual power in harmony with Origin Power, he operated the "Star Technique Melting Method," starting to absorb the essence contained in the large number of Exotic Treasures, and, following the Method, gradually excavated traces on the Star Vein.


    The process was very painful.


    "Fortunately, I have only cultivated this star technique to the Second Rank Limit." Li Yuan thought to himself, "If I had cultivated to the Fourth Rank Limit, Fifth Rank Limit, and the Star Marks had penetrated the Life Star... the price to dissolve the Star Technique Star Mark would be even greater."


    The stronger the Star Technique, the more troublesome it is to re-cultivate.


    Not only does it need many Exotic Treasures for assistance, but it''s also full of danger... If one''s True Intent Comprehension and spiritual power are not strong enough, it might lead to the collapse of the Star Meridian.


    It''s like a building. If you want to demolish it to rebuild, the higher the building, the more difficult the demolition.


    After five whole days.


    "Finally, completely dissolved." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Washing away a Star Technique is more troublesome than cultivating it."


    "But."


    "Now I can cultivate the ''True Solution of the Wind Star Vein''." Li Yuan felt a surge of anticipation.


    What kind of might will the top support Star Technique have?


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan directly entered the Ancient Divine Palace and went to the ''Divine Crystal Chamber'' to begin cultivation.


    The "True Solution of the Wind Star Vein" and the "True Solution of the Earth Star Vein" were both top support Star Techniques. The first two ranks of cultivation were similar, both requiring a large amount of Divine Crystal Energy.


    The Divine Crystal Chamber could save a lot of resources. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Half a month later.


    In the Ancient Divine Palace, Hundred Battles Arena.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s eyes were dark, and with a thought, wisps of Wind Fluctuations appeared around him, allowing him to easily sense the subtle and special mysteries between heaven and earth.

 Chapter 335 Three Years Later_4

    ```


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Swoosh! In an instant, Li Yuan split into nine, creating nine phantom bodies that interweaved with each other, agile and ghostly, easily evading the siege of several Flying Heaven Level Golden Armored Warriors nearby.


    "Indeed!"


    "Although I''m without the ''Nine Shadows Clone,''" Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled, "after cultivating the ''Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Resolution,'' I''m like Xiaobing, innately compatible with the Wind Law. I can reach the same level of True Intent Comprehension, yet display even stronger combat power."


    The strongest auxiliary Star Technique was not only helpful for Enlightenment but was also a significant advantage in combat.


    "I!"


    "First, I must obtain the ''Origin of Heavenly Wind'' to transform my body," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Now, after cultivating the strongest auxiliary Star Technique... my compatibility with the Wind Law has almost caught up with the Law of Earth."


    By now,


    Li Yuan''s talent in both the Earth and Wind Laws could be considered on par.


    It was destined that his comprehension of the Wind Law would progress at an astonishing speed.


    "However!"


    "True Intent cultivation is indeed slow," Li Yuan thought to himself. "If I remain stuck at the Prime Warrior realm, I don''t know if I could deduce both True Intents to the threshold of the Law within ten years."


    The further in cultivation one went, the more difficult it became.


    Especially for Li Yuan, who cultivated two different True Intents. Even if they stimulated each other, it would definitely be slower than if he only focused on one.


    "Unless."


    "My spiritual power reaches the Semi-Divine Level," Li Yuan thought.


    Once spiritual power underwent a transformation, one''s sensitivity to the operation of the heavens and the earth became clearer, and the compatibility with the Laws would naturally surge.


    Many Demigods, who had barely achieved True Intent Perfection after a hundred years of Flying Heaven Level cultivation, could, upon being established as Demigods, often have a chance to touch upon the Threshold of the Law in just decades. This was the reason.


    Body, soul; these were the foundation.


    Improving the foundation would bring all-around progress.


    ...


    After successfully cultivating the "Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Resolution,"


    Li Yuan finally emerged from seclusion and sent out invitations to many friends, including Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and Alicia, for a gathering at a restaurant.


    "Li Yuan has come out of seclusion."


    "To the banquet." Upon receiving the invitation, nearly all who were not out of the Martial Divine Star Realm attended.


    Li Yuan''s appearance also indirectly dispelled some rumors within the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ...


    After the banquet, Li Yuan''s life returned to tranquility, as he continued his days of concealed cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.


    May 2046, Blue Star.


    At Kunlun Martial University, in the Quiet Cultivation Room of the Fourth Rank Battleship hovering high above, Fang Hai in black clothes was meditating cross-legged.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh~" Beams of light shot out from all around, illuminating the entire Quiet Chamber.


    "Hm?" Fang Hai opened his eyes with a glint of surprise in them.


    Why would the battleship suddenly lose control without any alert from the auxiliary AI?


    Whoosh~ The light converged, forming a figure shrouded in a white robe, with an indiscernible face.


    "Young Hai." The voice from the white-robed figure was deep.


    "Master Yun." Fang Hai immediately recognized who it was, an assistant to Dongfang Ji.


    This was a secret within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Many Demigods were unaware of the existence of this white-robed figure, but as a direct disciple of Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai knew well.


    Outwardly, San Ye Semi Divine was the grand steward of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    However, Fang Hai knew that this white-robed figure in front of him could be regarded as the grand steward of the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    "The ''Dragon Spring Tide'' from the Wanhan Star Realm will appear in three days," the white-robed figure spoke deeply. "Are you ready?" S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Dragon Spring Tide?" Fang Hai''s eyes brightened, he couldn''t help but say, "Master Yun, are you certain?"


    ```


    For this day, he had waited a long time.


    He had remained at the Flying Heaven Level for a lengthy period, firstly for the Nine Leaves World in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain and secondly for this great opportunity in the Wanhan Star Realm... but the unexpected breakthrough in spiritual power led him to awaken his Seven Star Veins ahead of time.


    Now, this opportunity in the Wanhan Star Realm could potentially take him even further.


    Eight Star Veins? Fang Hai did not dare to dream.


    But it was hopeful to strengthen the already-awakened seven Star Meridians or even awaken an additional Nine Layers Star Vein.


    "The Mothership Mainframe Deduction." said the figure in the white robe, "And I have collected a massive amount of data... There can be no mistake." Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire


    "The only issue is whether your strength is sufficient or not?" the white-robed figure continued, "Within the Wanhan Star Realm, both the Cloud Beast Civilization and Tianliang Civilization have Demigods stationed."


    "San Ye Semi Divine can help you restrain one at most."


    The Wanhan Star Realm was crucial... the Seven Star Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and Tianliang Civilization had all left behind numerous Flying Heaven Warriors over the decades, and there had been several ascent to Demigod.


    San Ye Semi Divine was from the Seven Star Civilization.


    While on Blue Star, it was Dantai Lie Demigod who guarded the entry point, ensuring that the Star Realm''s entry point would not be easily breached, from the inside out.


    Defense is easy, attack is hard!


    "Those two Demigods are also merely ordinary Demigods," whispered Fang Hai, "I have about a fifty percent chance of success."


    Had it been before his Star Meridian breakthrough, Fang Hai would have had to take a risk.


    But after awakening his Seven Star Meridians, he had practiced even more powerful Star Techniques, and his overall strength had greatly increased... He now possessed the possibility of defeating a Demigod from a lower tier.


    "Alright."


    "Master has prepared an item for your protection," said the figure in the white robe, "It''s worth 1 million Seven Stars Points. Do you want it? If you do, you''ll have to come get it, but it''s not without cost, it will be put on your account."


    "I have to remind you."


    "You already owe a total of 860,000 Seven Stars Points, and if you add another million Seven Stars Points... the interest is quite high," said the white-robed figure.


    "I''ll take it!" said Fang Hai without hesitation.


    He also sighed inwardly; his teacher Dongfang Ji was excellent in every respect, the only thing was that he seldom gave treasures directly, nearly all treasures had to be accounted for in Seven Stars Points.


    Fortunately, Dongfang Ji allowed him to incur debt... but with interest!


    And the things Dongfang Ji provided were often exactly what he urgently needed.


    This led to Fang Hai always being quite poor.


    "The more debt, the less worry, teacher just wants to motivate me with this method," Fang Hai saw through it clearly, "As long as I can succeed this time and become a Demigod... these Seven Stars Points won''t amount to much."


    He had many treasures on him, all of immense value, but they were essential to him and couldn''t be exchanged for Seven Stars Points.


    Merely an hour later, Fang Hai left Kunlun Martial University.


    At the same time.


    Two pieces of news quickly spread: "The President of Kunlun Martial University has stepped down."


    "The Grand Hall Master of Starfire Blue Star has stepped down."


    The former news did not attract much attention, but the latter was absolutely explosive, rapidly spreading through the entire upper echelons of Blue Star and even many powerful beings on other planets were quickly made aware.


    ...


    Upon learning of Fang Hai''s resignation, Li Yuan, who was far away in the Martial Divine Star Realm, also quickly got the news, but he did not pay much attention.


    After all, Fang Hai had already said he was close to becoming a Demigod.


    In July 2046, during the new Battle of Seven Stars, Alicia and Lin Lanyue both won seven battles and ascended Seven Star Mountain.


    In August 2046, the news that Lude Nef had broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior finally spread.


    Time passed, day by day.


    In May 2047, the breakthrough of Yu Jinghe into a Flying Heaven Warrior was announced, which also made many parties within the Seven Star Civilization sentimental.


    However, many Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods within the Seven Star Civilization were curious, when would that peerless prodigy ''Spirit Gun'' break through to the Flying Heaven Level?


    Not only within the Seven Star Civilization, but many Foreign Civilizations were also extremely interested.


    After all, a Prime Warrior comparable to the peak of Flying Heaven was too extraordinary.


    Yet, there was no news, and since the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, Spirit Gun had disappeared once again.


    No matter how the various powers conducted inquiries, they could not track down any trace of him.


    In the blink of an eye, time had advanced to the autumn of 2049.

 Chapter 336 Killing a Demigod (Add 3 More)

    Seven Star Mountain, seven peaks stretched continuously, standing tall in the kilometer-high void.


    The entire Martial Divine Star Realm had entered autumn, but on Seven Star Mountain, it was spring all year round, with no snow ever falling.


    In front of palace residences, a huge flying vehicle was parked in the square.


    "Wind, inherently formless."


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged at the forefront of the square, gazing at the horizon, feeling the fierce wind blowing between heaven and earth, and felt a sincere comfort in his heart.


    A kilometer away, Lin Lanyue in a red robe, was holding a long sword, silently practicing her swordsmanship. With the changes in her sword movements, streaks of sword light, which even generated strands of flames, swept through the void.


    This was the power of flames.


    She was cultivating with all her heart.


    Suddenly!


    "Boom!" The sword light swept across, like a blessing to the heart, a dazzling sword light suddenly sliced through a hundred meters of space, creating a fiery sword trail that directly chopped several trees in half at their midsections.


    They collapsed one after another. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Lanyue''s eyes, feeling as if she had touched the mysterious and profound mysteries between heaven and earth.


    When this sword stroke passed, many past confusions seemed to be resolved effortlessly.


    Whoosh!


    A figure flashed by, it was Li Yuan, who sensed the intense fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth during his meditation.


    "This sword." Li Yuan looked amazed at the scene.


    A sword stroke over a hundred meters of void?


    There was no fluctuation of Origin Power, merely the transformation of the power of heaven and earth.


    "Lanyue, have you comprehended the True Meaning of Fire?" Li Yuan asked with delight.


    "It seems so," Lin Lanyue hesitated slightly.


    She raised her finger, and flames emerged at her fingertips, swirling around as if forming a fireball.


    Immediately following, an invisible force lifted Lin Lanyue, causing her to slowly rise and hover in the void.


    Flying in the air.


    A hallmark of a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    "Good." Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, he laughed, "Haha, Lanyue, congratulations. It''s not even a year since you started to condense the embryonic form of True Intent, and you''ve already successfully comprehended the True Meaning of Fire."


    Whoosh! With a thought from Lin Lanyue, she controlled the initially grasped power of heaven and earth to slowly descend, smiling at Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, others saying I cultivate fast is one thing, but you... I always feel like you''re mocking me."


    Lin Lanyue was well aware that Li Yuan had progressed from the embryonic form of True Intent to condensing True Intent in less than a month.


    "I''m not mocking you," Li Yuan said with a smile. "On Seven Star Mountain, how many True Intent Prime Warriors are there under the age of thirty? You''re only 24."


    "Okay." Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, no longer objecting.


    Over the past three years, her progress had indeed been rapid, advancing from Fifth Stage Perfection to now stepping into the Sixth Stage... Her speed was extraordinarily exaggerated, significantly faster than Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef were in their time.


    After all, not everyone could compare with Li Yuan.


    Such rapid progress was partly due to her True Phoenix Bloodline, but her cultivation was also extremely arduous.


    "Li Yuan, have you felt any breakthroughs in these past few months?" Lin Lanyue couldn''t help asking.


    "It''s not that easy."


    "Since half a year ago, when I felt that the True Meaning of Wind had reached its limit, it''s become difficult to progress further," Li Yuan said with a smile. "From Intermediate Rank True Intent to High Rank... this is a chasm."


    Li Yuan suddenly extended a finger.


    Phew~


    The power of heaven and earth surged, and an invisible fluctuation shot out from his fingertip, like a flicker of Spear Light, instantly spanning hundreds of meters of void... An invisible force, but Lin Lanyue sensed it incredibly clearly, a lasting finger mark appeared in the void.


    Only a True Intent powerhouse could sense this mark.


    "Is this the power of nearly Sixth Stage High Rank from heaven and earth?" Lin Lanyue exclaimed in admiration. "Li Yuan, this is just your True Meaning of Wind... How much stronger would it be if you combined it with the even stronger True Meaning of Earth, with the mysteries of the True Meaning of Wind?"


    Over recent years.


    Both had resided on Seven Star Mountain, frequently encountering each other. Lin Lanyue was well aware of how greatly Li Yuan had progressed.


    His comprehension of True Intent had increased immeasurably compared to three years ago.


    In Lin Lanyue''s view, even Duanmu Mountain Master, the ''Star Master'', once Li Yuan combined two major True Intents to burst forth... might not match Li Yuan in terms of True Intent comprehension.


    "Combining True Intents?" Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    For these three years, his Level of Life hadn''t improved and was still at the Prime Warrior limit.


    But in other aspects, his progress had been tremendous.


    Like the True Meaning of Earth, which had stepped into the Sixth Stage High Rank half a year ago... The True Meaning of Wind also improved rapidly, reaching the limit of Sixth Stage Middle Rank, and was just one step away from stepping into Sixth Stage High Rank.


    Both True Intents separately were at the Flying Heaven Peak level.


    Once combined to burst forth?


    "I feel like I might be able to compare with a Demigod," Lin Lanyue said with a hint of admiration in her eyes.


    "Perhaps," Li Yuan said with a smile. "But that''s just the most ordinary class of Demigod."


    "That''s already very powerful," Lin Lanyue remarked. "Demigod level... is already the peak force of our Seven Star Civilization."


    Clearly, she wasn''t deeply aware of the innermost secrets of the Seven Star Civilization.


    "Li Yuan, I believe in you. You will surely become the strongest in the history of our civilization," Lin Lanyue said with a smile. "Even stronger than the Alliance Leader."


    "You''re the only one who would say that," Li Yuan chuckled, but his mood was increasingly buoyant.


    These three years, most of the time, was spent on Seven Star Mountain.


    Cultivation was tedious.


    Initially, Li Yuan felt a lot of gratitude towards Lin Lanyue.


    For Lin Lanyue, it started with admiration for Li Yuan, then gradually turned into affection... over these three years, the two of them, accompanying each other through arduous cultivation, unknowingly developed deeper feelings, both aware of each other''s sentiment, yet without fully breaking the ice.


    Companionship is the longest confession of love.


    "Lanyue, let''s head back," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Now that you''ve just begun to condense True Intent, further meditation in seclusion will yield greater gains."


    "If you can take it a step further, you could attempt to go to Fierce Feather Star Realm, Ming Xu Star Realm," Li Yuan added.


    "Okay," Lin Lanyue nodded.


    Over the years, as Ming Xu Star Realm gradually developed, the secrets of Ming Mountain... were no longer a major secret for members of Seven Star Mountain.


    All True Intent Prime Warriors had nearly all attempted to enter the Civilization Mothership, but unfortunately, no one else could gain recognition from the Alien God.


    Divine Being Inheritance wasn''t something easy to come by.


    ...


    Watching Lin Lanyue walk away,


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile, "Uncle and aunt really approve of Lanyue."


    During the New Year in February this year, Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue had visited Jiang City.


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were very satisfied with Lin Lanyue, particularly impressed... especially the aunt, who had privately advised Li Yuan.


    "Let nature take its course."


    "When the right time comes, it will happen naturally." Li Yuan wasn''t actively pursuing this matter.


    Sigh!


    As he returned to the plaza, Li Yuan casually sat down and felt the Mysteries of Wind between heaven and earth.


    "I possess the Thousand Illusions Formation Map."


    "With the aid of ''True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein,'' how is it that I still haven''t broken through after so long?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, "If I could break through the True Meaning of Wind... the might of my Spear Technique would likely approach the Threshold of the Law."


    Nowadays, compared to three years ago, Li Yuan''s Spear Technique had already undergone a transformation.


    If he could advance further, undoubtedly, it would alarm countless Flying Heaven Warriors.


    From Sixth Stage Perfection to the Seventh Stage Law, that again would be a transformation.


    Yet, to take this step, even though Li Yuan combined two True Intents, it was extremely difficult.


    "True Intent Comprehension has improved greatly, but as for spiritual power and Star Meridian¡­" Li Yuan''s gaze flicked toward the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 30.0 (Second Rank)]


    Spiritual Power: 39.9


    Willpower: 40

    Seven Layer Star Technique ''Nine Shadows Clone'': Second Rank 7 (Level 14)


    ...


    "With under the harsh grinding of the sun, my willpower had stepped into the Semi-Divine Level two years ago," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But it''s tough for spiritual power to break through to the Semi-Divine Level!"


    A year ago, his spiritual power had already reached level 39.9, but it had been stagnant ever since.


    Indeed, Li Yuan had spent tens of thousands of points to purchase various Fourth Rank Treasures from the Seven Stars Treasury, all aimed at enhancing spiritual power... but to no avail.


    The breakthrough of such a major bottleneck is seldom aided by ordinary external means.


    "If I could reach the Flying Heaven Level and undergo a transformation of the flesh, perhaps my spiritual power might break through," Li Yuan secretly sighed.


    Soul and body are inseparably linked.


    It is indeed extremely difficult for a Prime Warrior''s body to nurture a Semi-Divine Level Soul.


    As for the cultivation of the Star Meridian, although it gets harder later on, Li Yuan was becoming increasingly composed.


    "Still continually awakening Life Stars."


    "The first six Star Meridians are already so powerful, and now, there are numerous Unowned Life Stars in my Life Starry Sky... awakening the seventh Star Meridian should be very close," Li Yuan reflected.


    "Time."


    "Ample time will make me incredibly powerful."


    "I''ve just turned 24 years old, so there is no rush," Li Yuan calmly thought to himself.


    Long-term cultivation is also a refinement of the spirit. Three years? Even ten years, Li Yuan could wait.


    ...


    As autumn gave way to winter, in the blink of an eye, the entire Martial Divine Star Realm except for the Seven Star Mountain was blanketed in vast snowfall.


    It was during this winter.


    A sensational piece of news broke out from Blue Star, and in an extremely short time, it shook the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    "A Demigod has fallen!!"


    "Just one battle, and a Demigod from the Cloud Beast Civilization alongside Tassi, a Demigod from the Tianliang Civilization, have fallen!"


    "Fang Hai."


    "A Flying Heaven Warrior, he successfully slew two Demigods in the Wanhan Star Realm!"


    "Weren''t people saying Fang Hai was stuck at his bottleneck and couldn''t advance?"


    "Heaven!" This news, like a hurricane, not only swept through the entire Seven Star Civilization but also reached the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and many other powerful civilizations, shocking everyone.


    Even the legendary Divine Beings were inquiring about this matter.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior, slaying a Demigod.


    Not only was this the first instance in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, but even considering the whole Dimensional Domain, it''s a rare occurrence, signifying the true rise of a peerless genius.


    "Dongfang Alliance Leader, an invincible Demigod, once fought and killed dozens of Demigods, deterring the Myriad Demons Civilization from invading. Perhaps he has already become a Divine Being by now."


    "Fang Hai, hidden for decades, erupted in one day! He is even more terrifying than his teacher was back in the day."


    "The mysterious Spirit Gun, equally monstrous."


    "Li Yuan, reportedly his strength is not inferior to Yu Jinghe back in the days."


    "Our Seven Star Civilization is truly on the rise." The high-ranking Flying Heaven Warriors and above of the entire Seven Star Civilization were excited and exhilarated.


    The birth of a Divine Being is beneficial to the entire civilization.


    And these few individuals, perhaps they might all become Divine Beings in the future.


    ...


    Seven Star Mountain, inside the palace.


    "Principal, cultivating two Supreme Star Techniques is about to turn into a Demigod?" Li Yuan, looking at the information sent by the Alliance Leader, asked. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

 Chapter 337 Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope

    The intelligence report from Dongfang Ji was much more detailed than what was spread through the virtual network.


    "Dragon Spring Tide of the Wanhan Star Realm?"


    "Containing a Supreme Treasure of the Water Lineage?" Li Yuan perused the report, secretly marveling.


    It roughly described Fang Hai''s experiences over the years, spending most of his time within the Wanhan Star Realm.


    What exactly was the Dragon Spring Tide? The report did not say.


    "It must be a treasure like the source of the Heaven Wind that the Alliance Hierarch values so highly, and even caused the principal to transform," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Although he had awakened his Mind Spirit Divine Palace and even received the heritage from two True Gods, Li Yuan did not dare to underestimate the Alliance Hierarch and the principal.


    "In the vast world, countless encounters."


    "Every person is the protagonist of their own life. Who can reason out the ordinary?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "Just like me, who would have thought that in just six years, as a mere Prime Warrior, without even becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, my True Intent Comprehension would reach the threshold of a demigod?"


    Li Yuan was extremely satisfied with the progress of his True Intent over the past three years, which was much greater than that of the previous three years.


    He believed that when the time for an explosion of power came, he would surely surprise many Foreign Civilizations.


    "However."


    "Now is not yet the time to make a move." Li Yuan sent the message files and, after thinking for a bit, sent a congratulatory message to Principal Fang Hai.


    "Continue cultivating."


    Li Yuan calmed his mind, once again immersing his consciousness in the Life Starry Sky. Years passed, and the once dim Life Starry Sky had become ever more dazzling.

    "Awaken."


    Li Yuan''s Mental Consciousness divided and roamed within the Life Starry Sky, following the dazzling Star Meridians, capturing their mystical movements, and trying to discover more Life Stars.


    Time passed.


    "Bang~" Li Yuan suddenly grunted, feeling a sudden trembling in the Star Meridians, his body suffering injuries... the awakening failed.


    Another thread of Mental Consciousness was extinguished.


    "It''s getting tougher. Even with my level 39.9 spiritual power, attempting to continue exploring and awakening on such a strong Star Meridian foundation is increasingly difficult." Li Yuan frowned, "The speed of awakening Life Stars is slowing down."


    Each Life Star that awakens needs to be integrated with Mental Consciousness.


    It requires the soul to bear it.


    Although Li Yuan was of Six Star Pulse, each Star Meridian was exceptionally strong, and the pressure on his soul far exceeded that of ordinary strong individuals with Six Star Pulse.


    Eventually.


    After spending over an hour and failing four times, Li Yuan finally successfully awakened more than ten Life Stars.


    And continuous injuries to his body forced Li Yuan to stop.


    "Need to rest for at least three days."


    "Law Creation."


    "The closer to the limit, the tougher it is."


    "I thought too simply of the Seven Star Veins," Li Yuan said with a slight frown, "No wonder they are called legendary."


    "Now, with so many Unowned Life Stars in my Life Starry Sky, theoretically awakening two or three more Star Meridians would be more than enough." Li Yuan sensed the vast number of Unowned Life Stars within him.


    A large number of Life Stars, far more than three years ago, but since they had not formed a Star Meridian, they could not be utilized.


    Four years ago, after the second Spiritual Guidance, Li Yuan once thought the awakening of the Seven Stars was imminent. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But these four years of Law Creation told him.


    He had been wrong.


    "There are quite a few with Six Star Pulse within the Seven Star Civilization."


    "But looking at the entire Dimensional Domain, across tens of thousands of Dimensional Planes, today there might only be Principal Fang Hai able to slay a demigod with Flying Heaven," Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    He pondered for a moment.


    Whoosh! With a thought, Li Yuan entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ...


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    "Three years, such great progress with the Star Meridian, even the weakest one has awakened to Sixth Layers, and you still think it''s slow?" Upon hearing Li Yuan''s account, Gu You''s eyes widened in surprise.


    "Is it not slow?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.


    "Wrong!"


    "You are terribly wrong!!" The girl shook her head and said, "Brother, do you really think that it took you one year to go from a One Star Pulse to a Six Star Pulse, so after a few more years, you will definitely awaken to the Seven Star Pulse?"


    "By that logic, should ten years be enough to awaken the legendary Nine Star Pulse?"


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "It''s not that easy!"


    "If it were so simple, someone who is a Prime Warrior would have awakened Seven Star Pulse," Gu You shook her head, "In that case, the Divine Realm would be filled with Seven Star Pulse, and there wouldn''t be so many divines stuck at Six Star Pulse."


    "Many true gods are also at Six Star Pulse."


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    "If the difficulty from Three Star Pulse to Five-Star Meridian is 1, then from Five-Star Meridian to Six Star Pulse the difficulty is 100, and from Six Star Pulse to Seven Star Pulse, the difficulty is at least 10,000," said Gu You, looking at Li Yuan.


    "For this reason, even when you initially showed such a high Star Vein Talent, I only expected you to become a Seven Star Pulse in the Second Rank."


    "You''ve been creating laws for so long," Gu You said, "You should understand, the further you awaken the Star Pulse, the more you reach the limits of your current soul strength and skill level."


    "Like many Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors with high True Intent Comprehension who choose to breakthrough, do you think they don''t want to strengthen their foundation? No! It''s because they spend five, ten, fifty years, and still can''t awaken even one Life Star."


    "At their limit, unable to improve, naturally, they can only breakthrough."


    "In fact."


    "Your progress is extremely fast, and the fact that you can still awaken Life shows you still have a lot of room for improvement," said Gu You, looking at Li Yuan, "With your current rate of progress, you could awaken Seven Star Pulse in as little as one or two years, or at most ten."


    Ten years? Li Yuan sighed inwardly; he had enough patience.


    It just felt a bit slow.


    "Don''t mind the slowness."


    "According to what father said back then, aside from some top bloodlines and supreme Divine Beasts, even in the Divine Realm, reaching Seven Star Pulse before age 50 in the Second Rank is already extremely exceptional," Gu You seemed to understand Li Yuan''s thoughts, smiling and saying, "If you spend another ten years, you''ll only be in your thirties."

 Chapter 337 Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope_2

    ```


    "In his thirties, still in the most vigorous stage of a Second Rank life, stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm wouldn''t affect anything."


    "Eight Star Veins?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Eight Star Veins?"


    Gu You said, "As long as you are a Seven Star Veins at Second Rank, and upon reaching Flying Heaven Realm or Demigod status you achieve Eight Star Veins, there is a great hope."


    "That was also the goal I had set for you back in the day."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; Gu You had indeed said something similar early on.


    But his own goal had always been for a Prime Warrior to achieve Eight Star Veins.


    "Can''t one achieve Eight Star Veins at Second Rank?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    "Second Rank achievement?"


    "Theoretically it''s possible, but practically it''s almost non-existent," Gu You shook her head: "You must understand that Second Rank is indeed the best period for awakening Star Veins. During this stage, all lives start the same... But once you enter Flying Heaven Realm, due to different Star Veins, the Origin Pills that condense are fundamentally different."


    "Even during the Flying Heaven Stage, some powerhouses further awaken from Six Star Pulse to Seven Star Pulse, making their Origin Pills undergo transformation, yet there is an essential difference from the Innate Seven Stars Origin Pill."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He knew this point; it was precisely for this reason that he was so eager to reach Eight Star Veins.


    "Prime Warrior stage."


    "Even for someone like you, who cultivated the strongest Body Refining Star Technique and whose body was at the limit of a Prime Warrior, only 30 levels... The Life Star you nurtured is not strong enough, the soul your body can sustain is not strong enough... The huge disparity at the foundation makes Seven Star Pulse almost the limit," Gu You said earnestly.


    "In the Divine Realm, many top Divine Beasts of powerful forces are born as Seven Star Veins and then utilize Origin Treasures to assist in cultivation, external cultivation conditions are considered the top; it''s something you can''t imagine... In the end, most still only manage to break through into Flying Heaven with Seven Star Veins."


    "Condensing the Origin Pill with Seven Star Pulse, stepping into Flying Heaven, after becoming a Demigod, the Life Star strengthens, the soul becomes further powerful, enabling the further awakening of more Life Stars, holding great hope for another leap."


    "Of course, there are also extremely few geniuses that bloom late," Gu You said: "Six Star Pulse as a Prime Warrior, transformed to Seven Star Pulse in the Flying Heaven Realm, transformed to Eight Star Pulse upon reaching Demigod... but it''s extremely rare."


    "Heavenly Divines!"


    "Every one of them, when young, was an exceptional genius that shook many Star Domains," a girl softly said: "But upon ascending to godhood, most were still just Eight Star Pulse."


    "Once Ascended to God, the Star Veins are fixed, almost impossible to change."


    Li Yuan fully understood.


    Awakening a Seven Star Pulse at Second Rank; Third and Fourth Ranks further awaken an Eight Star Pulse.


    This was the path for top geniuses in the Divine Realm.


    And to ultimately achieve Eight Star Pulse, being Six Star Pulse at Second Rank was the baseline.


    "Is there really no hope of reaching Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank?" Li Yuan still harbored a sliver of hope in his heart.


    "There is."


    "But the number of such exceptional talents is much fewer than Heavenly Divines," Gu You shook her head: "Father has roamed the Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years and seen several Heavenly Divines... but never heard of a Second Rank life awakening Eight Star Pulse."


    "Perhaps, such exceptional geniuses were born in secret, but their powerful affiliations would definitely not want to expose them, to avoid assassination by hostile forces," Gu You looked at Li Yuan: "After all, if one awakens Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank."


    "Then, there is hope of awakening to Nine Star Pulse before becoming a god."


    "The Nine Star Pulse, even in the Divine Realm, is a legend, rare to see one born in an era," Gu You sighed wistfully.


    "An era?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "In the Divine Realm, an era typically refers to around 300,000 years, roughly equivalent to the lifespan of a Heavenly Divine," Gu You explained.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    "You said before that you wanted to try for Eight Star Veins, I didn''t stop you, because I really didn''t know your limit," Gu You looked at Li Yuan: "Having aspirations is good."


    "But you must also stay grounded."


    "A Prime Warrior achieving Eight Star Veins... If a Heavenly Divine dedicated all their energy to nurture you, with your talent, there might be a glimmer of hope," Gu You shook her head: "Unfortunately, neither I nor your Seven Star Civilization has such conditions."


    "So."


    "After a few more years, once you become a Seven Star Pulse, then make your breakthrough."


    "Being able to awaken to Seven Star Pulse as a Prime Warrior within the Mortal Domain, you should be proud," Gu You said: "Wait until you''re in Flying Heaven, a Demigod, and then work hard to transform into Eight Star Pulse later."


    Li Yuan listened with a wry smile.


    A sliver of hope? Wasn''t that essentially no hope?


    "Okay."


    "Sis, I''ll think it over carefully, I''m leaving now," Li Yuan said, and with a thought, he had already left the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the palace.


    "Not willing to give up?" A girl with bare feet muttered: "Makes sense, such a monstrous talent, never truly met a rival genius since the start of cultivation... why would he easily give up?"


    "Just wait!"


    "When he takes a big fall, he''ll naturally come to his senses," Gu You thought to herself.


    She didn''t mind Li Yuan wasting ten or twenty years.


    ```


    As long as he broke through before the age of fifty, the impact wouldn''t be significant.


    Moreover, Gu You had always been observing in secret and knew that Li Yuan''s True Intent Comprehension was still rapidly progressing.


    That was enough.


    In Gu You''s view, if Li Yuan''s growth was too smooth, it might not be a good thing.


    "In the path of cultivation, can everything be as desired?" Gu You shook his head inwardly, "Stumbling a little now is far better than taking a big fall later."


    ...


    In the Quiet Chamber


    "The materials Qiu Bingzun gave me only mentioned that it''s difficult for a Prime Warrior to awaken the Eight Star Veins," Li Yuan thought to himself, "But I didn''t expect it to be this difficult."


    "Just as Gu You said."


    "Only the top Star Vein Talent, coupled with the best cultivation by a Heavenly Divine... might offer a sliver of hope for success." A glint flickered in Li Yuan''s eyes, "I don''t have the help of a Heavenly Divine."


    "My greatest aid¡­"


    "First is the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture''; such a Visualization Method, even in the Divine Realm, is top-tier, something even the Ancient Torch Divine can''t provide."


    "Second, is Spiritual Guidance."


    "But to activate Spiritual Guidance again, spiritual power must further transform to reach an awakening limit of 75%," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Then, I must further cultivate my spiritual power."


    Li Yuan understood.


    Even if the soul reached the Semi-Divine Level, it might not necessarily result in the awakening limit reaching 75%.


    But this was the first step.


    "Fight on!" S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "My body is too weak, trying to bear a Semi-Divine Level Soul, if it is just as before, engaging in normal cultivation of visualization methods, even spending another ten or twenty years, the soul might not break through," Li Yuan decided resolutely in his heart.


    When cultivation reaches a bottleneck, sometimes time accumulation is needed, but beyond a certain level, more time alone is useless.


    "Only by fighting desperately is there a glimmer of hope."


    "A Semi-Divine Level Soul is my only hope!"


    Thinking of this.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan tapped on his smart ring, opened the Seven Stars Treasury and went straight to ''Soul Treasures.''


    "Not enough," Li Yuan frowned.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Li Yuan directly made another call.


    Ten seconds later.


    "Li Yuan." A deep voice sounded.


    "Isn''t it the Alliance Hierarch?" Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "You can call me ''Yun Lao''," the deep voice spoke, "The Alliance Hierarch is in secluded cultivation. If you have anything, you can ask me directly. With your permission... you are qualified to know about me." Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    This deep voice should be a secretive existence within the Seven Star Civilization.


    "Yun Lao."


    "I want to purchase a large quantity of Fourth Rank ''Soul Recovery Treasures,'' even Fifth Rank ones," Li Yuan said, "A lot."


    "How much? How many?" the deep voice puzzled, "Five? Ten?"


    Fourth Rank Soul Recovery Treasures typically cost between 1000 to 5000 Seven Stars Points, depending on their effectiveness and rarity.


    "Start with one hundred," Li Yuan hesitated and then said, "If that''s not enough, I might need more."


    The other end of the communication fell silent.


    After a long while.


    "Are you sure you misspoke?" the deep voice said, "What are you trying to do? The entire Seven Stars Treasury doesn''t have that many right now. I must report to the Alliance Hierarch."


    "I''m aiming to impact the Semi-Divine Level Soul and awaken the Seven Star Pulse," Li Yuan stated directly.


    Some things need not be concealed.


    "Alright, just wait," the deep voice did not ask further.


    Time passed.


    "Okay!"


    "The Alliance Hierarch just agreed. The first batch of fifty Fourth Rank Soul Nurturing Treasures will be sent to Martial Divine Star Realm within a day, and the Seven Stars Points will be deducted directly from your account," the deep voice said, "As for more... it will take some time."


    "Good," Li Yuan nodded, for the short term, fifty was enough.

    Feixing, a mysterious place where the sky was dim, and below was a vast ocean. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yet, the ocean water was completely black, unfathomable.


    Two figures stood in the void.


    "Teacher, what''s the matter?" Fang Hai in black robe asked Dongfang Ji, who was not far away.


    If Li Yuan were here,


    he would have sensed the changes in Fang Hai''s aura, which had greatly changed from the past.


    If the past Fang Hai was reserved and substantial, occasionally revealing a hint of sharpness,


    then now, he was like an abyss, becoming unfathomable.


    "Li Yuan just sent a message asking if he could exchange for a large batch of Fourth Rank Soul Treasures," Dongfang Ji said with a smile, "He wants to exchange for 100 pieces."


    "100 pieces? That many? Even the entire Seven Stars Treasury doesn''t have that many," Fang Hai expressed doubtfully.


    "Should I try to persuade him?" Fang Hai shook his head, "By doing this, other Semi-Divine and Flying Heaven levels will probably lack such treasures for cultivation."


    To Fang Hai, even if Li Yuan had enough Seven Stars Points, he shouldn''t be so capricious.


    One must always consider the bigger picture.


    "No need."


    "He communicated directly with me and didn''t trouble San Ye, probably because he wanted to ask if I could make the exchange," Dongfang Ji said with a smile. "He previously risked his life and made significant contributions to civilization... A fair exchange, naturally, we cannot let him be disheartened."


    "I''ve already instructed Yun Pu to prepare."


    "A few hundred Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, I can still afford to exchange," Dongfang Ji stated calmly.


    Fang Hai''s pupils contracted, slightly shocked.


    A single Fourth Rank Soul Treasure was normally worth a thousand or two thousand points... one hundred pieces would be about 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    But treasures are not calculated like that.


    Logically, like Fourth Rank Treasures, the production of the entire civilization was finite within a certain time frame; they couldn''t be exchanged unlimitedly by any powerful entity.


    Unless... there was a stable supply channel.


    But in the entire Dimensional Domain, which force could stably supply Fourth Rank Soul Treasures? Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization couldn''t do it!


    In an instant, Fang Hai thought of many possibilities.


    "No need to ask more," Dongfang Ji shook his head with a smile, "Once you conquer the Seventh Mountain, many things will naturally become clear... and by then, the Seven Star Civilization will also be handed over to you."


    "Yes, teacher," Fang Hai nodded, no longer inquiring about the source of the treasures, yet he couldn''t help but ask, "What does Li Yuan need so many Fourth Rank treasures for?"


    "He said he wants to impact the Semi-Divine Soul and awaken the Seven Star Veins," Dongfang Ji replied.


    Fang Hai''s pupils contracted.


    "According to the Martial Divine Hall''s perception, just half a year ago, his Spear Technique was comparable to a Demigod," Dongfang Ji said with a smile. "Much faster than you back in the day."


    "Only over three years have passed since the conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm, and his Spear Technique has transformed? Indeed, much faster than me," Fang Hai sincerely said. "I was nearly forty when my True Intent Comprehension reached the Demigod level."


    "And it took another decade and the opportunity in the Nine Leaves World for me to step into the Threshold of the Law."


    "Li Yuan is indeed much stronger than me," Fang Hai stated.


    "No need to compare yourself with him, as everyone''s talent and opportunities differ," Dongfang Ji said with a smile. "Before him, you were already a rare genius of our Seven Star Civilization."


    "It''s all thanks to your excellent guidance, teacher," Fang Hai solemnly said.


    He was very grateful to Dongfang Ji in his heart, knowing well that without his teacher''s guidance all the way... he wouldn''t have made it to where he was today.


    "Teacher, does Li Yuan have a chance of awakening the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior?" Fang Hai asked doubtfully, "Are Fourth Rank treasures alone enough?"


    "They are not enough," Dongfang Ji shook his head. "The Seven Star Veins... are not that easy."


    "His body is too weak to achieve a Semi-Divine level soul... Relying solely on external objects, even Fifth Rank treasures are not enough."


    "Sixth Rank treasures? I have difficulty offering them, and even if I could, his soul and body wouldn''t withstand it," Dongfang Ji said.


    Fang Hai nodded in agreement.


    Treasures also required a strong enough constitution to be effective.


    Otherwise, sometimes they could even be harmful.


    "With two True God Heritages guiding him, he won''t stray from his path... but how far he can go depends on him," Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai. "Don''t worry about him; you need to focus on yourself next."


    "I look forward to the day you conquer the Nine Leaves, achieve Semi-Divinity, and finally return from conquering the Seventh Mountain," Dongfang Ji''s eyes filled with anticipation.


    "Teacher."


    "Disciple, I will give it my all," Fang Hai bowed deeply and then hesitated no longer.


    Whoosh!


    He transformed into a streak of light and dived into the pitch-black ocean water... deep in this sea area was the entrance to the Nine Leaves World.


    In the void, Dongfang Ji watched the pitch-black waters.


    For a moment, he was somewhat lost in thought.


    "Hopefully, he can succeed," Dongfang Ji murmured softly.


    He had great expectations for Li Yuan but allowed him to develop freely without intervention.


    However, with Fang Hai, he had profound insights, as he was a Direct Disciple nurtured for decades.


    The effort spent on Fang Hai was the most extensive.


    "Master, I have already contacted the divine being from the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber," a deep voice suddenly resonated beside Dongfang Ji. "We expect the relevant treasures to arrive at the ''Canglan Star'' in three days."


    "Yes, go arrange for their reception," Dongfang Ji spoke softly. "For the next period, no matter what Li Yuan wants, as long as his Seven Stars Points are enough to exchange... exchange them for him."


    "I can''t nurture him like a Heavenly Divine, but he should still have the basic cultivation."


    "Yes," the deep voice responded.


    ...


    Three days later.


    "Li Yuan, your items have arrived, could you confirm them on the virtual network?" Duanmu Hong in white robe smiled, "What did you buy this time? The delivery was made by a San Ye Semi-Divine, must be quite valuable, right?"


    "Some small items," Li Yuan said with a smile, taking the Storage Treasure handed over by Duanmu Hong.


    He returned alone to the Quiet Chamber in the palace.


    "Altogether with what was delivered the day before yesterday, there are a total of 100 portions of Fourth Rank treasures for restoring the soul," Li Yuan sensed while checking the Exotic Treasures stored within the Storage Treasure.


    Each bore different appearances,Some were Spirit Fruits, some Medicinal Liquids, some resembled Jade Stones, and even some looked like Withered Wood.


    All bizarre.


    "Alliance Hierarch, truly impressive," Li Yuan marveled inwardly, "He deliberately acquired so many types of Fourth Rank treasures... Many of these treasures never even appeared in the Seven Stars Treasury."


    Li Yuan initially didn''t expect the Alliance Hierarch could really get them... only to find, he had underestimated the Alliance Hierarch.


    "There''s a secret!" Li Yuan thought about the last time he cultivated the "All Things Divine Body."


    Dongfang Ji, too, managed to get a large amount of treasures within a few days.


    "One time is a coincidence."


    "Twice?"


    "All these exotic treasures gathered at once couldn''t possibly be produced within our civilization," Li Yuan thought. "Most likely, the Alliance Hierarch has a way to exchange a large number of treasures."


    Such a channel was definitely of great significance to the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    "That''s good."


    "To exchange these 100 Fourth Rank treasures, it cost 1.8 million Seven Stars Points," Li Yuan thought. "I hope it helps."


    "As long as it succeeds."


    "Spending millions of Seven Stars Points is worth it."


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan released a fruit that was entirely red, emitting a bizarre glow.


    He immediately popped it into his mouth.


    He closed his eyes.


    Boom! Most of Li Yuan''s mental consciousness rushed into the first layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    He found himself in a vast starry sky.


    At the end of the starry sky was a dazzling, endless Great Sun, whose rays enveloped the void and shone upon Li Yuan.


    Years ago, when his spiritual power was only above ten, Li Yuan would feel pain.


    But now?


    Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire


    "Each time I come here, it feels comfortable," Li Yuan''s mental consciousness felt warm.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s consciousness body swiftly approached the Great Sun. The originally warm light quickly turned blistering hot, followed by a scorching pain.


    The closer he got, the more terrifying the light of the Great Sun, and the more daunting the pressure it emitted.


    After a long time.


    In Li Yuan''s vision, the entire Great Sun had already obscured half of the sky... clearly, he was very close.


    "My soul is being scorched," Li Yuan''s face showed faint signs of pain.


    Over the past several years, Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method mostly here.


    It was extremely painful, and even with a Semi-Divine level willpower like Li Yuan''s, it was painful... but it wasn''t a real threat to his life.


    "Not enough!"


    "If I were just practicing normally, staying here for visualization would be enough, but if I want to break through the limit."


    "Then I must get even closer," determination flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan continued to approach, that soul-scorching pain intensifying.


    Li Yuan clenched his teeth and pressed on.


    "Hiss~" The dreadful light of the Great Sun even penetrated the surface, starting to harm Li Yuan''s soul directly; it was like tearing the soul apart.


    Pain!


    Agonizing pain!


    "I''ve reached my limit." Not only was Li Yuan''s soul trembling, but his body was also subtly affected, shaking.


    With a thought, Li Yuan operated the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."


    Swoosh~From the other end of the void, in the starry sky, slender strands of peculiar energy traveled through the void, infiltrating Li Yuan''s consciousness body, easing the soul''s pain, and healing the soul''s injuries.


    But it was far from enough.


    "Crack~" Li Yuan immediately swallowed that Fourth Rank fruit.


    Quickly, the fruit''s effectiveness unfolded, streams of peculiar energy infiltrated Li Yuan''s spiritual world¡­ beginning to heal his soul''s wounds.


    "Continue!"


    "Temper the spirit, temper the consciousness!" Li Yuan tenaciously endured the pain: "My body is too weak, so I cannot directly nurture a Semi-Divine level soul or rely on external items."


    "Thus, the only option is to find a way for the soul to undergo a metamorphosis from within."


    "Visualization Method!"


    "The pressure of the Great Sun."


    "Having practiced the Visualization Method for seven years, although I''ve been very diligent, every time I reached the limit of what my spiritual power could endure, I would rest... To break my body''s confines, I need to break the soul''s limit!" This was the method Li Yuan thought of to completely transform the soul.


    Visualization Method!!


    "Time after time, squeezing the soul, tearing the soul." Li Yuan silently endured: "Just like training the body to the verge of death... Normally, if practiced this way, the soul would not endure and collapse."


    "I''ve been continuously ingesting Fourth Rank Soul Treasures... which can combine with the Visualization Method to quickly restore soul injuries."


    "Strive!"


    "Give it my all! Persist!"


    "Until the day the soul undergoes a complete metamorphosis from within," Li Yuan resolved inwardly.


    ...


    For a Flying Heaven Level, transforming the soul to a Semi-Divine level is extremely difficult.


    What about a Prime Warrior attempting it? The difficulty is unimaginable.


    Li Yuan''s method, easy to speak of when Heavenly Divine beings in the Divine Realm each know it, but hard to execute... to endure the extreme pain of tearing the soul, not everyone can manage.


    Especially those who grew up sheltered, inherently strong, who have never experienced hardship, how could they endure?


    Even Li Yuan.


    During many years of cultivation, through day after day of visualization cultivation, he honed his willpower to a semi-divine level, and still, it was somewhat unbearable.


    But, he continued to persevere!


    Just like when he was young, before awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, also not fitting the high rank cultivation methods¡­ he practiced day in and day out, never considering giving up.


    While training at Kunlun Martial University, he could endure the extreme pain of "Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow."


    tenacity! Insanity! This was Li Yuan''s true nature.


    Time passed.


    One day, two days, five days¡­ apart from regular spear technique practice, comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent, and occasionally seeing Lin Lanyue¡­ Li Yuan spent most of his time on the Visualization Method.


    Gradually.


    One month, two months¡­ after consuming 100 Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, Li Yuan exchanged for another batch.


    Continuing to cultivate.


    And gradually adapting, his willpower improved under such intense tempering, and his soul, under such day after day of squeezing, finally began to transform.

 Chapter 339 Limit! Soul Collapse

    "Soul is undergoing transformation."


    "Willpower is being enhanced," Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    In just three months, his willpower had risen from level 40 to 41.


    Though his spiritual power did not rise in rank, Li Yuan clearly felt the subtle changes within his soul.


    But this was not enough, far from enough.


    "My body does not provide much assistance in nurturing the soul; instead, it''s subtly becoming a hindrance," Li Yuan realized. "I must press myself even harder."


    Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire


    Thus, while cultivating the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," Li Yuan''s consciousness body drew even closer to the Great Sun.


    Indeed, the effects of his cultivation were better, but the agony tearing through his soul also soared once again!!


    The damage to his soul was even greater.


    Consequently, the number of Fourth Rank Soul Treasures he consumed increased... With a huge amount of Seven Stars Points being invested, even Yun Lao, who was in charge of procurement, was shocked by the quantity.


    It was too much.


    Even for the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber, as the asking price gradually increased, he had no choice but to report back to Dongfang Ji.


    "Let him go," was the response.


    "The birth of an exceptional genius requires talent, perseverance, and a massive amount of resources¡ªthese three elements are indispensable," Dongfang Ji said indifferently. "In the end, a bit of luck is still needed."


    "It''s just that the consumption of resources is too vast," a deep voice couldn''t help but comment. "If we continue to use the original points pricing, we might suffer a loss."


    "Li Yuan has enough talent and strong enough perseverance," Dongfang Ji shook his head. "What do those resources count for? They don''t even catch up to a single Sixth Rank treasure... Don''t be stingy; haven''t the resources from Mingxu Star Realm already begun to be excavated? We will recover the costs."


    "Master, I''m just worried it will all be in vain," the deep voice said.


    "Can every effort always yield a return?" Dongfang Ji laughed. "Those Heavenly Divine who take disciples, each one of them an exceptional genius, will also invest a tremendous amount of resources to nurture them... In the end, it''s hard for even one in ten to ascend to Heavenly God."


    "One must be willing."


    "Without willingness, what can be gained?"


    ...


    As time passed by, Li Yuan''s frenetic cultivation inevitably caused Liu Bing within the Heavenly Snake Hall to sense the fluctuations in his soul.


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    "Big brother, he..."


    "Why are his spiritual fluctuations so intense? Why is he in such agony?" Sensing the outside world, as well as Li Yuan''s condition, Green Snake Liu Bing was worried.


    In the first few months when Li Yuan began his cultivation, the fluctuations of his soul were quite normal.


    Since most of the time was spent resting, Liu Bing didn''t pay much attention.


    She remained focused on her own cultivation.


    But by now, things had changed from the beginning. Inside the outer Quiet Chamber, a faint trace of blood seeped through Li Yuan''s body, his form trembling subtly.


    His soul was in so much agony that his body was beginning to break down, a frightful state indeed, and yet, as Origin Power circulated, it would gradually heal his physical injuries.


    However, quickly, under the severe soul pain, his body would again ooze blood.


    The cycle repeated!


    Physical injuries could be healed, but the torment of the soul couldn''t be alleviated.


    How could Liu Bing not notice such fluctuations in the soul?


    Whooosh~


    Within the hall, a majestic, one-horned Phantom congealed. It was Qiu Bingzun.


    "He must be trying to escalate to a Semi-Divine Level Soul," Qiu Bingzun said quietly. "His ambition really is grand, a Prime Warrior... actually aiming for a Semi-Divine Level Soul."


    "Semi-Divine Level Soul?" Liu Bing was taken aback. "Can it be achieved?"


    "He must be cultivating a Visualization Method of an extremely high grade, perhaps no less than your inherited Visualization Method, capable of sharpening the soul to its limits and restoring it," Qiu Bingzun stated. "Moreover, the Seven Star Civilization is truly special, being able to procure so many Fourth Rank Treasures to aid his cultivation."


    "Yet even so, the chances of success are very slim," Qiu Bingzun expressed. "The external environment is still too poor."


    "The chances are slim?" Liu Bing felt a pang in her heart.


    "Liu Bing, think about it. In the inherited memories of the past Holy Blood Heavenly Serpents, how many at Second Rank managed to reach a Semi-Divine Level Soul?" Qiu Bingzun shook his head. "Isn''t it said that just stepping into the Threshold of the Law, and pushing one''s spirit and willpower to the limit of Flying Heaven, is sufficient for ascension? That''s the standard."


    "Yes," Liu Bing nodded, recalling the comprehensive standards in her ancestral memory.


    These past few years,


    She had been concentrating on her cultivation, making astonishing progress... Her innate bloodline privilege had allowed her to step into the Threshold of the Wind Law, it was just that her advance in spiritual will was not very fast.


    There was no helping it; she was only a few years old. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "A Second Rank individual, even if cultivating the most powerful Body Refining Star Technique, the body is still too weak. Forcibly striving for a Semi-Divine Level Soul isn''t very meaningful."


    "In fact, based on Li Yuan''s powerful will, once he breaks through to the Flying Heaven Level, his soul will rapidly transform to Semi-Divine Level... Pursuing the limit for the sake of it could more easily lead to life-threatening dangers," Qiu Bingzun advised. "Unless, he wants to thus attempt to reach higher Star Meridians... but given his rate of progress, steadily cultivating according to plan, he could still reach the Seven Star Veins in several years."


    "There''s no need to be so hard on himself at this moment."


    "I can''t comprehend it," Qiu Bingzun truly did not understand Li Yuan''s actions.


    "The Seven Star Veins would be no challenge for big brother," Liu Bing said. "Could big brother be aiming for the Second Rank Eight Star Veins?"


    "Impossible!" Qiu Bingzun shook his head. "His talent is high, but residing in the Dimensional Domain, even with the Seven Star Civilization''s nurturing conditions being relatively good compared to the Mortal Domain, they''re incomparable to the Divine Realm."


    "Now that he hasn''t entered Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, unless a Heavenly God brings an Origin Supreme Treasure... Even if he awakens a Semi-Divine Level Soul, there''s not a sliver of hope."


    "In the history of our Heavenly Serpent Clan, those few who were born with Second Rank Eight Star Veins were all very special," Qiu Bingzun continued. "The strongest talents, coupled with the best external conditions... and in the end, a bit of luck."


    "Only then could a Second Rank Eight Star Vein be conceived."


    "It signifies a foundation that is stronger than that of the most powerful Divine Beasts," Qiu Bingzun stated. "Those from our clan history who managed to grow up alive, each eventually dominated an era."

 Chapter 339 Limit! Soul Collapse_2

    Liu Bing couldn''t help but nod.


    Her legacy memories contained relevant descriptions.


    "Could there be miracles?" Liu Bing couldn''t help but ask, as she really hoped that Li Yuan would become powerful.


    "Xiao Bing, so-called miracles are always traceable," Qiu Bingzun said, "Like your elder brother, if he could have a semi-divine level soul, that would be a miracle... But the foundation for creating such a miracle is that his willpower has already reached the semi-divine level."


    "Eight Star Veins?"


    "How can he form the Eight Star Veins if he hasn''t even achieved the Seven Star Veins?" Qiu Bingzun shook his head, "For second rank, it''s always better to break through earlier, and definitely no later than fifty years old."


    Liu Bing gently tapped her snakehead.


    "Should I persuade elder brother then?" Liu Bing whispered.


    "You can persuade, but not too much."


    Qiu Bingzun said, "The path of cultivation is one''s own to walk... Since he has chosen this path, he naturally has the determination."


    "The more determined the will, the more unshakeable it is!"


    ...


    Liu Bing''s persuasion.


    Failed without surprise.


    "Xiao Bing, I understand, I have it in mind," Li Yuan said with a smile in response to Liu Bing.


    Was it unnecessary to have a semi-divine soul as a Prime Warrior?


    Were Second Rank Eight Star Veins numbered only a few in the history of millions of years of the Heavenly Serpent Clan?


    "What I pursue," Li Yuan said with a determination that was nearly terrifying, "is to turn the impossible into possible."


    How could he give up when he had seen the possibility of soul metamorphosis?


    Time flowed like water.


    Every day, Li Yuan would practice the Visualization Method for more than three hours, but overextending the limit meant that restoring the soul took over ten hours... With the remaining time, he would continue to attempt to awaken the Life Star, but the speed of awakening was still slow.


    At the same time, he would continue to comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map, the Star of Myriad Manifestations Map, constantly advancing in his comprehension of True Intent.


    In the blink of an eye, it was May of 2050.


    Unnoticed, Li Yuan''s True Meaning of Wind finally made a breakthrough, advancing from Sixth Stage Middle Rank to Sixth Stage High Rank... Having reached the same height with the two laws, their integration now caused the might of Li Yuan''s spear technique to surge once again.


    In the past, in terms of the mystery of techniques, Li Yuan had just reached the threshold of semi-divinity.


    But now, he truly matched many semi-divine beings.


    Unfortunately, the mysteries of Law Integration only increased combat power... It did not greatly help Li Yuan''s breakthrough in soul transformation. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire


    The only benefit was that influenced by the Mysteries of True Intent, the speed of soul recovery was faster, and the growth of willpower was quicker.


    ...


    Li Yuan still had not given up; he had already spent 1.5 million Seven Stars Points to purchase a Fourth Rank Soul Treasure.


    The expenditure was comparable to that of a Divine Artifact.


    The most critical issue was the fatigue of the soul... Constantly being pushed to the limit, always nearing the edge, no matter how much external items were used to recover from injuries, the intrinsic exhaustion of the soul could not be eliminated.


    Eliminate it? Only time! A long period of rest was needed.


    Just like a person working, a company can use bonuses to improve work efficiency, can rely on coffee or nutritional supplements to temporarily boost energy... but it also significantly increases the risk of sudden death.


    Li Yuan''s situation was just like that.


    No matter how strong his willpower, no matter how much he could endure, a Flying Heaven level soul has its limits... Once it surpasses those limits, the soul would collapse.


    Once it reached that point, no treasure would be of any use.


    ...


    Dongfang Ji finally summoned Li Yuan again.


    "How can your soul be so weary?" Dongfang Ji was surprised, realizing something was amiss.


    With his realm, he could feel the weariness seeping through Li Yuan''s resolute gaze.


    Just like an old man at the end of his days.


    "There''s no need to push yourself so hard, being destined for Seven Star Veins, a bit earlier or a bit later, doesn''t make much difference," Dongfang Ji shook his head and said, "Your principal, when he was a Prime Warrior, upon seeing no hope to strike the Seven Star Veins, gave it up."


    "Now, he is the same, with Seven Star Veins," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "You are already the most outstanding person in the history of the Seven Star Civilization."


    "Everything in moderation," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, genuinely concerned that something might happen to him.


    "Alliance Hierarch," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I only hope that the principal can support me to the best of his ability."


    Dongfang Ji looked into Li Yuan''s eyes, sighed softly, and was reminded of many things for a moment.


    "Alright," in the end, Dongfang Ji did not stop Li Yuan.


    If he had wanted to stop him, he could have cut off the supply of treasures to Li Yuan.


    ...


    "Li Yuan, it''s too dangerous."


    "This method of cultivation, even before your soul metamorphoses, you will collapse first," Gu You said, full of concern.


    She had thought that Li Yuan would not be able to endure for too long and would give up on this path.


    Or that he would slowly awaken the Seven Star Veins and then feel the Eight Star Veins, naturally accepting reality.


    But what she didn''t expect was that Li Yuan would choose to assault the Semi-Divine Level Soul, an extremely difficult task.


    And the more she observed, the more shocked she became.


    How terrifying was his tenacity to grit his teeth and hold on? Li Yuan was still desperately pushing forward, but Gu You instead began to fear.


    ...


    "Big brother!"


    "You must give up."


    "At most three months, if you continue to cultivate and squeeze yourself like this, your soul will definitely collapse," Liu Bing''s attitude completely changed because her soul was linked with Li Yuan''s.


    She knew best the state of Li Yuan''s soul, which was on the verge of collapse at any moment.


    "Three months, huh?"


    "Xiao Bing, thank you for the reminder."


    "Then let''s fight for another three months," Li Yuan said. Having cultivated to this extent, he was unexpectedly much calmer.


    There was only this one chance.


    If he gave up, if he rested,


    Then the soul that was nearing transformation through repeated pressure, limited by the body, would gradually become frail again... and he would have to start over from the beginning.


    Just like that.


    In the midst of many worries and doubts, Li Yuan''s heart remained unshakable, he continued to persist!!


    The path of the strong is destined to be full of hardships.


    Opportunity? Talent?


    Without absolute strong willpower, without unprecedented determination, having just these is not enough to reach the pinnacle... Just like when Li Yuan first obtained the Visualization Method as a young man, even if he relaxed a bit in his cultivation, he was destined to achieve notable success, but he chose to exert his full strength, giving up all rest time, reaching his own limit.


    At present.


    If he were to cultivate step by step, spend several more years, break through with the Seven Star Veins, and then reach the Eight Star Veins at the Flying Heaven Level... he would have boundless prospects without the risk of soul collapse.


    But to Li Yuan, that wasn''t enough.


    "Just like when I took the college entrance exam and failed to get into Starfire Martial University, I have no regrets because I gave it my all."


    "Now, it is the same."


    "The opportunity is right before my eyes."


    "As long as I achieve a Semi-Divine Level Soul, I will have a hope of awakening the Eight Star Veins with a 75% increase in the upper limit of Spiritual Guidance!!"


    For a Prime Warrior undergoing the third Spiritual Guidance, it is fundamentally different from a Flying Heaven Level undergoing the third Spiritual Guidance.


    "Give up?"


    "If I wager everything and still fail in the end, then there will be no regret," Li Yuan''s heart was serene.


    He had done everything he could to the extreme.


    The rest was left to fate!


    ...


    In a blink of an eye, nearly four more months passed.


    In the Quiet Chamber.


    "Crack~"p


    Li Yuan was lying directly on the ground, his body faintly curling up, trembling, the terrifying pain from his soul made him completely unable to control his body... most of his Mental Consciousness was still gathered at the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    He was persisting with all his might.


    Because, before the last Visualization Method practice, Li Yuan perceived a subtle change in his soul


    "Transformation!"


    "The Soul origin has been squeezed to the limit, and it''s about to undergo a complete transformation."


    Therefore, Li Yuan did not hesitate any longer and chose to make a final stand.


    So, this time practicing the Visualization Method, he had surpassed three days, which was the longest session in half a year.


    He did not stop for a single moment.


    Just that Li Yuan''s soul, which was already on the brink of its limit,


    Had come to the eve of its transformation, under the blazing heat of the Great Sun, and began to collapse completely.


    Too tired!


    Too weary!


    As if a marathon runner, having exhausted everything, about to reach the finish line through sheer willpower, but the body just couldn''t bear it anymore. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Rumbling~" Li Yuan''s consciousness shattered thunderously, his soul entered a collapsing process.

 Chapter 340 Semi-Divine Level Soul

    "Hmm? Li Yuan''s Life Crystal?" Within the Divine Palace atop Seven Star Mountain, Duanmu Hong, who was cultivating in seclusion, instantly sensed that something was amiss.


    Li Yuan''s Life Crystal was flickering.


    Startled, he tried to transmit a message to Li Yuan... but there was no response.


    "Not good!"


    "There must have been an accident."


    "But how could Li Yuan be in mortal danger while cultivating in the Martial Divine Star Realm?" Duanmu Hong immediately transmitted a message to the Alliance Hierarch.


    Immediately after, his figure moved and he flew out of the palace like a bolt of lightning towards Li Yuan''s residence.


    ...


    "Hmm? Li Yuan''s Soul Lamp! Is his soul collapsing?" Gu You, who had been staying in the Ancient Divine Palace, was similarly startled and instantly aware of Li Yuan''s anomaly.


    "He''s really pushed to the point of soul collapse? How could this be?" Gu You immediately became anxious.


    She had always been worried about Li Yuan.


    She hadn''t expected that Li Yuan would actually fall into dire straits.


    "Li Yuan''s will has long reached the Semi-Divine Level."


    "His True Intent Comprehension is also extremely strong... and he has been cultivating to the limit with a high-grade Visualization Method, and yet he still hasn''t achieved a Semi-Divine Level Soul?"


    "Is it so difficult for a Prime Warrior to become a Semi-Divine Level Soul?" Gu You was extremely anxious in her heart: "A soul collapse... is nearly irreversible."


    "I can''t care about adhering to the command my father left me anymore." Gu You clenched her teeth and a gleaming jade stone already appeared in her hand.


    She understood that even if she intervened, there was a high probability that she couldn''t save Li Yuan.


    But to do nothing? Gu You was unwilling in her heart.


    Whoosh!


    With a single step, Gu You disappeared within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ...


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Big brother! No!!" Liu Bing''s face changed dramatically, and tears seemed to swirl in her spiritual eyes.


    She felt Li Yuan''s soul aura was rapidly weakening.


    "Qiu elder."


    "Please help my big brother, help him." In that moment, Liu Bing was utterly panicked.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun''s phantom appeared, and he sighed softly: "Li Yuan... if there were hope for the Eight Star Veins, it might be worth a try."


    "But even if he attained a Semi-Divine Level Soul, he is destined not to achieve the Prime Warrior''s Eight Star Veins, so why make such a futile effort? I really don''t know how such a manic disposition was developed, completely unpredictable." Qiu Bingzun shook his head: "No wonder his will is so formidable, his temperament is almost unshakable."


    "Qiu elder, stop talking nonsense," Liu Bing urged hurriedly: "Is there any way you can help my big brother?"


    "Little Bing!"


    "Among the treasures preserved for you by the elders of our clan, there are two very special Origin Soul Treasures, more precious than the Origin of Wind..." Qiu Bingzun looked at the anxious Liu Bing.


    He very clearly understood that Liu Bing was extremely attached to Li Yuan; it was from the soul.


    "If you use them for Li Yuan now."


    "Then there''s a slight chance to save Li Yuan, but most likely... it won''t work." Qiu Bingzun said: "Whether to use them or not, you decide for yourself."


    "Save him!"


    "Elder, if the treasures are lost, I can venture out and search again in the future," Liu Bing immediately said: "But if my big brother dies... he is the only family I have left in this world."


    "Alright."


    "I will do my best to help him." Qiu Bingzun nodded, not surprised by Liu Bing''s decision.


    Whoosh! Qiu Bingzun also disappeared from the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ...


    Though the conversation seemed slow, Liu Bing picked up on changes in Li Yuan''s soul even faster, and her exchange with Qiu Bingzun was very swift.


    Therefore, Qiu Bingzun was not much slower than Gu You.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    Right beside where Li Yuan was lying on the ground.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One after another, two phantoms appeared, one a petite figure in white clothes with a holy aura, the other tall and burly.


    "A God Level?" A trace of surprise flashed in Qiu Bingzun''s eyes.


    "So it''s you, Heavenly Serpent Divine! Are you the remnant thought left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine?" Gu You recognized Qiu Bingzun''s identity at first glance.


    In the moment they identified each other, neither wasted words.


    Both reached out and each produced a treasure.


    A hazy red light emanated from the object in Gu You''s hand, while Qiu Bingzun held a purple crystal that emitted strange fluctuations.


    On the ground, Li Yuan''s soul aura continued to wane, yet there seemed to be a formidable will being forcefully condensed.


    It was Li Yuan''s own willpower, still struggling.


    "Let''s do this," Gu You said somberly: "Don''t hesitate any longer, let''s seize this sliver of hope."


    Whoosh!


    Gu You waved her hand, and the object emanating a red glow flew down, slowly merging into Li Yuan''s body.


    "An exercise in futility, what a waste of treasures, pity," Qiu Bingzun sighed inwardly, convinced that Li Yuan was as good as dead.


    How could there be any chance of life with a soul collapse?


    If not for Liu Bing insisting on saving him, for fear that Liu Bing would hold a grudge against him, or even have ideas about the entire Heavenly Serpent Clan in the future,


    he would have simply let Li Yuan die.


    Qiu Bingzun was far less truly anxious than Gu You; after all, his real concern was Liu Bing, not Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The purple crystal touched Li Yuan''s forehead and instantly transformed into streams of strange energy that merged within.


    As if in Li Yuan''s mind, there was a Taotie that devoured soul power.


    "How quickly it''s absorbed," Qiu Bingzun was inwardly shocked.


    Gu You, too, felt a little puzzled by the side.


    In just a few seconds.


    "Something''s not right! He''s not suffering a soul collapse!! It was an illusion!" Qiu Bingzun''s eyes widened: "It''s soul reassembly."


    Gu You''s eyes brightened.


    She too noticed changes in Li Yuan''s soul aura; at first, it was indeed a soul collapse, which happened very quickly... but Li Yuan''s strong will seemed to be supporting it the whole time, exerting all his strength, unwilling to give up.


    It seemed to last only a few seconds.


    But for a soul collapse, that was qualitatively significant... and then, the last bit of Li Yuan''s soul''s spiritual light, like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, quietly elevated to a higher level.

 Chapter 340 Semi-Divine Level Soul_2

    And then,


    Gu You felt the terrifying soul power contained within the two wonders provided by Qiu Bingzun pour into him.


    "I lost out! There was no need to bring out a treasure," Qiu Bingzun shook his head.


    "Okay," Gu You revealed a smile. Although she had been deceived by the false appearance of Li Yuan''s soul being shattered and prematurely handed over a treasure,


    she was incredibly excited and joyful in her heart.


    Because Li Yuan had survived, and as a Prime Warrior just awakening to a Semi-Divine Level Soul... he was destined to become even more frightful.


    "Without destruction, there can be no establishment."


    "The Prime Warrior, with a frail body, desires his soul to transform into the Semi-Divine Level. He can''t break through by normal means, the body cannot endure the soul''s transformation... The soul must continuously be honed to the Flying Heaven Limit. Once a breakthrough occurs and the body cannot withstand, the soul will collapse. In that collapse, to transform a spark of spiritual light with a strong willpower?" Qiu Bingzun pondered thoughtfully.


    He said he ''lost out'', but the treasure had already been used, and regret was useless now.


    He then began to contemplate Li Yuan''s situation.


    "So it seems, the soul appears extremely fragile due to the collapse, but in essence, has already transformed?"


    "The essence has broken through, to once again make the soul stronger?"


    "Is this the true essence of the Prime Warrior reaching a Semi-Divine Level Soul?" Qiu Bingzun, after all, was a being at the True God Peak.


    Even if it was just a remaining Spiritual Imprint, his vision and knowledge were still there, giving rise to much speculation.


    There was no other way.


    The Prime Warrior, desiring to possess a Semi-Divine Level Soul, is even rarer than awakening the Seven Star Veins... too few examples.


    Even Qiu Bingzun, in his life of over ten thousand years, had not truly encountered it, only heard of it. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was the first he had personally witnessed.


    "Maybe, should I let Liu Bing try it?" The thought emerged in Qiu Bingzun''s mind.


    "Forget it!"


    "She doesn''t have the terrifying willpower like Li Yuan... Besides, even if Liu Bing''s soul were to advance to Semi-Divine Level prematurely, she wouldn''t reach Eight Star Veins, so it''s not significant," Qiu Bingzun dismissed the thought.


    Until now,


    Qiu Bingzun still felt that Li Yuan was engaging in futile efforts. Such desperate attempts to become Semi-Divine Level Soul... held little significance.


    The risk did not proportionally match the gain.


    "Hmm? Someone is coming?" Qiu Bingzun sensed the activity outside the Quiet Chamber, and in an instant, he dissipated, already back inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    "Heavenly Serpent Divine."


    "Could it be that Li Yuan''s Spirit Beast is a Heaven Snake? It couldn''t possibly be the legendary Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent," Gu You thought to herself.


    Whoosh! She also returned to the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Both of them harboring their own thoughts, did not communicate further.


    ...


    Boom! The door of the Quiet Chamber burst open.


    Duanmu Hong finally rushed in... The Quiet Chambers for Seven Star Mountain members'' cultivation were set with multiple obstacles, ensuring that even if they encountered an attack from a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, they could resist for a considerable time.


    But as the Mountain Lord, Duanmu Hong had the highest authority of the Martial Divine Star Realm and naturally could open the Quiet Chamber.


    Swoosh!


    The moment Duanmu Hong rushed in, he saw Li Yuan lying on the ground, startling him before he froze in place.


    "Such a powerful soul pressure," Duanmu Hong caught his breath.


    In his perception, Li Yuan''s soul aura was very weak, probably just reaching the Flying Heaven Level, as if he had been seriously injured... but the emitted pressure was terrifying.


    "A Semi-Divine Level Soul?" Duanmu Hong shocked himself internally: "The Prime Warrior, possessing a Semi-Divine Level Soul? Within the history of my Seven Star Civilization, he should be the first case."


    "Just that,"


    "Wasn''t his Life Crystal about to extinguish a moment ago? How in the blink of an eye, instead, his soul has transformed?" Duanmu Hong couldn''t make sense of it.


    Thinking of this,


    he flipped his hand over and took out Li Yuan''s Life Crystal, completely red, with no sign of it going out.


    "Hmm?" A flash of shock crossed Duanmu Hong''s eyes.


    Because, in his sense, Li Yuan''s soul aura was breaking through at an unimaginable speed.


    Level 31, Level 32... as if he had taken some grand tonic.


    "Growing so quickly?"


    "What has Li Yuan been through?" Duanmu Hong was increasingly amazed, he thought it over.


    Whew!


    He slowly exited the Quiet Chamber, then promptly closed the door, as if he had never come to Li Yuan''s palace.


    For Duanmu Hong, confirming that Li Yuan was not dead was enough.


    ...


    "Not soul collapse?"


    "Instead, a breakthrough? A Semi-Divine Level Soul?" Dongfang Ji, who was in the Mysterious Flying Star Land, saw a glint of light flash in his eyes.


    Just now, he had been worried.


    In the blink of an eye, yet another piece of good news had been received... The ups and downs couldn''t be more dramatic.


    "Master, was it a success?" a low voice asked.


    "Prime Warrior, the soul''s transformation into Semi-Divine Level, it''s truly unthinkable," Dongfang Ji shook his head, "The Seven Star Veins should be close to completion."


    "Ha ha!"


    "Second Rank Seven Star Veins, it''s almost certain they''ll evolve into Eight Star Veins in the future," Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    If it was Fang Hai that satisfied him,


    Then Li Yuan was a huge surprise.


    "Tell Duanmu Hong, once Li Yuan recovers, have him come see me," Dongfang Ji instructed.


    "Yes," the low voice replied.


    "What about the new Cultivation Technique inferred by the Mothership Mainframe, how is it?" Dongfang Ji changed the subject.


    "Based on the large amount of data from newly emerged Flying Heaven Warriors'' Star Meridians over the years... the embryonic forms of the eighth and ninth high-rank techniques have been essentially perfected and can start to be gradually propagated," the low voice said, "Additionally, Master, I wish to obtain the data of Li Yuan''s self-created techniques... it might prepare us for the civilization''s future premier general top-level technique."


    "Top-level technique? There''s no rush!"


    "Li Yuan''s situation is probably quite peculiar too, you should mainly continue gathering Flying Heaven Warrior data and use that as a blueprint for your inferences," Dongfang Ji commanded.


    "Yes."

    "Not a soul collapse but a breakthrough?" Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall, Liu Bing was overjoyed.


    "I can sense it; my brother''s soul is moving away from weakness, constantly getting stronger," Liu Bing said.


    "How could it not be strong?" Qiu Bingzun shook his head, "With two special Soul Treasures... his soul will recover very quickly."


    "Liu Bing!"


    "Next time, I can''t just listen to you so easily; we only have this much of a fortune... we can''t afford to squander it," Qiu Bingzun said.


    "Why hasn''t big brother regained consciousness yet?" Liu Bing''s focus was still on Li Yuan and still somewhat worried.


    "He was too exhausted before."


    "He''ll likely have to sleep for a while," Qiu Bingzun said.


    ...


    Li Yuan was indeed fatigued.


    When he sensed the sudden collapse of his soul, he was completely stupefied; his soul''s essence was in the midst of transformation... how could it suddenly collapse?


    In the moment of life or death, he couldn''t care too much and could only do his utmost to maintain the completeness of his soul.


    With his soul constantly dissipating, Li Yuan''s consciousness became increasingly blurred.


    Until the moment of achievement, Li Yuan vaguely understood... soul collapse was indeed a part of the breakthrough.


    Simultaneously, he also faintly sensed the external aura.


    "Qiu Bingzun? He really is inside the Heavenly Snake Hall."


    "Gu You also came out." Only when Li Yuan''s heart completely relaxed did the fatigue stemming from his soul surge forward, along with the extreme weakness of his soul,


    He actually fell directly into a deep sleep.


    While within his body, two Soul Wonders were continuously exerting their effects, constantly strengthening his soul.


    Time passed.


    One day, two days, three days... This sleep lasted more than ten days before Li Yuan finally awoke.


    Ten days felt like the blink of an eye.


    Because he was so exhausted, there was no dreaming... For a Semi-Divine Level soul, fatigue was almost nonexistent, and there was usually no need for sleep anymore.


    "My spiritual power." Li Yuan immediately noticed the change, his powerful Divine Sense easily penetrated the Quiet Chamber, and then swept over the palace''s surrounding area.


    Then extended even farther.


    Until it reached the dwellings of other Seven Star Mountain members... Those Origin Power Arrays capable of resisting the Inquiry of Flying Heaven Level Divine Sense seemed non-existent in front of Li Yuan''s Divine Sense.


    "Lanyue is practicing spear techniques."


    "Dantai Feng... is on a call with his high school classmate."


    "Hmm, this one is daydreaming."


    ... Centered on Li Yuan, everything within a five-kilometer radius seemed to be under his Divine Sense Inquiry.


    No one detected they were being observed by Li Yuan.


    "Is this what it''s like to have a Semi-Divine Level soul?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel and suddenly froze.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 30.0 Level (Second Rank)]


    Spiritual Power: Level 45

    ...

 Chapter 341 Seven Star Veins (Add more 4)

    "45 in spiritual power?"


    "But didn''t I just break through? And my soul had dispersed once before, it should be weak now, so how has it become so strong?" Li Yuan''s gaze swept over the two prompts on the Divine Palace panel.


    [Your spiritual power has reached level 40, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening has been raised to 70%]


    Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    [Your spiritual power has reached level 44, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening has been raised to 75%]


    Reaching level 40 in spiritual power, Li Yuan could understand.


    But level 45? How did this happen? Li Yuan immediately thought of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun just before he fell asleep.


    "However,"


    "Having reached a 75% limit for Spiritual Awakening is worth the great price I paid." Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled with light.


    With the limit reached, the next step was to accumulate enough Spirituality Nourishment... then he could initiate the third Spiritual Guidance.


    The Eight Star Veins were hopeful.


    Li Yuan had risked advancing to the Semi-Divine level for this very reason.


    "However, after the Six Star Pulse, awakening the Life Star becomes increasingly difficult." Li Yuan thought to himself, "The third guidance, can I successfully awaken the Eight Star Veins?"


    Li Yuan was not absolutely certain.


    But regardless of success or failure, he had already given his all, and had no regrets nor anything left undone.


    ...Just as Li Yuan was pondering.


    "Big brother! Have you finally awakened?" a crisp voice sounded in Li Yuan''s mind.


    It was Liu Bing''s Soul Transmission Sound, her voice laced with excitement.


    "Yes, just woke up." Li Yuan responded, sensing the fluctuations in Liu Bing''s emotions, which appeared to be extremely joyful.


    "Liu Bing,"


    "Did I see Qiu Bingzun? Is he at the Heavenly Snake Hall? Did you all save me?" Li Yuan asked continuously.


    "Big brother, send a strand of your thoughts into the Heavenly Snake Hall." Liu Bing said consecutively, "Elder Qiu... is indeed here with me."


    "Okay."


    ...


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall, the vast main hall.


    Whoosh! An invisible force entered, already forming Li Yuan''s phantom... With a Semi-Divine Level Soul, effortlessly forming Divine Sense Phantoms, and even splitting into many thoughts.


    Just like leaving a Spiritual Imprint, Divine Sense Phantoms... many techniques had become usable.


    A Semi-Divine Level Soul was far superior to the Flying Heaven Level.


    "Liu Bing." Li Yuan immediately saw the massive green Flying Serpent in the hall, its life aura much more robust than it was years ago, its body scales much more exquisite. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As if it were a delicate piece of art.


    Over the years, Li Yuan and Liu Bing often communicated through the soul, but had not truly met.


    "Big brother." Liu Bing was incredibly excited, flapping her wings, her large body rapidly shrinking, trying to coil around Li Yuan''s arm.


    Unfortunately,


    this was just a projection of Li Yuan''s Divine Sense, it was illusory... hence, Liu Bing''s affectionate gesture was doomed to fail.


    "It will be fine once you get out," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Whirl! Numerous beams of light converged, forming a muscular, uni-horned silhouette on one side.


    "Elder Qiu," Li Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.


    "I have come out with the Heavenly Snake Hall, and kept it from you all this while," Qiu Bingzun smiled and said, "I hope you don''t mind."


    "You did it for Liu Bing''s sake." Li Yuan smiled, "With Elder pointing the way for Liu Bing, her growth will surely be smoother."


    "As long as you don''t mind," Qiu Bingzun smiled.


    "I must also thank Elder this time," Li Yuan said, "If not for the treasure you gave, my soul wouldn''t have recovered so quickly."


    "Don''t thank me,"


    "Thank Liu Bing," Qiu Bingzun waved his hand, "If not for her insistence on saving you, I wouldn''t have been willing to use that Soul Treasure... that treasure was left for Liu Bing by a Heavenly Divine of our tribe, originally meant to help her break through to the Eight Star Veins when reaching the Semi-Divine level."


    "That valuable?" Li Yuan was astonished; he had assumed it was at most a Fifth Rank Soul Treasure.


    Left by a Heavenly Divine?


    It might well be a Sixth or even Seventh Rank Soul Treasure, and being able to allow a merely Prime Warrior like himself use it... must be a very particular type.


    At least, the Seven Star Civilization would not be able to produce it.


    "At the time, your condition was soul collapse, ordinary treasures were useless, and you were too weak, some overly powerful treasures would be more harmful than beneficial to you... in short, just thank Liu Bing," Qiu Bingzun said.


    For Liu Bing''s sake, Qiu Bingzun was willing to be the "bad guy".


    "Liu Bing, I''m sorry," Li Yuan said with a wry smile, "Had I known, such a treasure should not have been used on me."


    "Big brother, it''s just a treasure, when we team up to venture into the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains in the future, are you worried we won''t be able to get treasures?" Liu Bing said carelessly, "As long as you are alright, big brother."


    Li Yuan''s heart warmed.


    "Just next time, big brother, try not to take such risks," Liu Bing wagged her head, "It''s too scary, I was nearly frightened to death."


    "Okay, I''ll be more careful in the future," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Big brother, how do you feel now?" Liu Bing asked eagerly, "For a Prime Warrior becoming a Semi-Divine Level Soul, awakening the Life Star should be incredibly easy."


    "I should soon achieve the Seven Star Veins," Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    A soul reaching level 45 was far more powerful than when at level 39.9... absolutely a Transformation.


    In fact, Li Yuan had already divided most of his Mental Consciousness, attempting to sense within the Life Starry Sky.


    "Li Yuan,"


    "You really didn''t have to push yourself so hard," Qiu Bingzun suddenly spoke, looking at Li Yuan, "Now having a Semi-Divine Level Soul, even at the Prime Warrior stage, awakening more Life Stars... becoming a Seven Star Vein is only a matter of time."


    "Just for a few more years, it''s unnecessary."


    "You are risking too much."


    "This time, if your Willpower hadn''t been strong enough, allowing your Soul to transform in extreme circumstances, you might have truly perished," Qiu Bingzun shook his head, "On the path of cultivation, sometimes you need to strive! But at least the rewards and risks should be proportional."


    "In your current stage, you can securely cultivate to the Flying Heaven Peak, then pursue the Eight Star Veins."

 Chapter 341 Seven Star Veins (Add more 4)_2

    Li Yuan smiled and didn''t explain much further.


    Indeed!


    In the eyes of Qiu Bingzun, Gu You, and even the Alliance Hierarch, his actions must have seemed somewhat rash.


    Because, normally speaking, whether his soul underwent metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level or not, it would most likely still result in the Seven Star Veins.


    And that involved immense risk.


    However, this was mainly because they didn''t know that he could perform Spiritual Guidance.


    Only by undergoing Soul Metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level could he accomplish the third Spiritual Guidance.


    "According to the Divine Palace''s hint, a 44th rank spiritual power is needed for the Spiritual Awakening limit to reach 75%," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Without nearly half a year of pushing his soul to the limit in pursuit of the extreme,


    how long would it take for his soul to undergo metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level and gradually grow to the 44th rank?


    Li Yuan felt that, with normal cultivation, even another 20 years might not suffice.


    There is a fundamental difference between a Prime Warrior achieving the Eight Star Veins and a Flying Heaven level achieving the Eight Star Veins.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace can indeed help oneself.


    Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    But the extent to which it can be utilized is related to one''s own self.


    Just like before, if Li Yuan hadn''t cultivated with such mad fervor, he might have faced the risk of death during the first anomaly of the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    "Senior Qiu," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I''ll be more careful in the future."


    "Hmm." Qiu Bingzun also noticed that Li Yuan seemed to have other plans,


    and naturally, didn''t say much more.


    "Big Brother, aside from the treasure Senior Qiu used," Liu Bing said, "there was another person who also used a treasure to help you." Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Almost simultaneously,


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    "Don''t be so reckless next time," Gu You admonished as she looked at Li Yuan''s Divine Sense avatar, shaking her head, "Cultivation requires effort, but it should be moderate."


    "Sister,"


    "I want to attempt to break through to the Eight Star Veins," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Is it possible without madness?"


    "You still haven''t thought of giving up?" Gu You couldn''t help but say: "It was so difficult for you to become a Semi-Divine level soul... Do you understand how challenging the Eight Star Veins are?"


    "Only by giving it my all will I have no regrets," Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    To Gu You, compared to when facing Qiu Bingzun, he could reveal more secrets and thoughts,


    But regarding the Mind Spirit Divine Palace... he couldn''t speak openly.


    "Sister, thank you for this time," Li Yuan said. "That treasure must be quite precious, right?"


    "It''s no bother."


    "That treasure was originally intended as a gift for you upon your ascension to Semi-Divine and passing the fourth trial," the young girl looked at Li Yuan. "Given your rate of strength improvement, passing the fourth trial wouldn''t be difficult... so it is much like giving the treasure to you in advance."


    "I''ve said before, I am merely keeping the Ancient Divine Palace on your behalf."


    "When it''s time to give my father''s treasure to you, I will naturally do so," the girl said. "If that treasure can be of some use, it is worth it."


    Li Yuan nodded without hesitation.


    He could clearly sense the differences in attitude among Gu You, Qiu Bingzun, and Liu Bing.


    "I''ve been thinking carefully just now,"


    "If you want to attempt for the Eight Star Veins, there is indeed a glimmer of hope," the young girl regarded Li Yuan. "After all, you are only 25 years old, with another 20 years... and your soul metamorphosis makes awakening your Life Star easier."


    "In any case,"


    "Whatever you do, I support you... just be sure to be careful," Gu You advised.


    "Understood," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    This near-collapse of his soul, it seems, really frightened both Liu Bing and Gu You.


    ...


    After concluding his exchanges in the Heavenly Snake Hall and the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan devoted himself entirely to adapting to the Semi-Divine level soul.


    "The range of my Divine Sense inquiry is dozens of times that of the past, reaching five kilometers in all directions."


    "And under my Divine Sense detection, ordinary things can''t escape at all, not even the Origin Power Array," Li Yuan marveled: "When I perform an inquiry, it seems that even the Divine Sense of Flying Heaven level can''t detect it."


    Li Yuan had already understood the difference between Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine.


    When encountering head-on, a Flying Heaven expert wouldn''t notice a thing, while everything would already be exposed before a Semi-Divine.


    "No wonder it''s always said in the archives,"


    "That the Semi-Divine guardians of various planets often patrol globally," Li Yuan mused. "To probe a ten-kilometer area with a single thought... While flying at high speeds, it would be extremely difficult for the Flying Heaven Alien Race to avoid detection."


    In one word,


    A Semi-Divine level soul alone, with merely its Divine Sense, could already have many marvelous uses.


    "A powerful soul is also much clearer in sensing the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth than before," Li Yuan''s consciousness extended, sensing the waves of mysteries contained within all things.


    Clear!


    Not just the Mysteries of Earth, the Mysteries of Wind... the fluctuations of many other mysteries were clearer, too.


    Even Li Yuan had the illusion that if he were to comprehend the Mysteries of Fire, the Mysteries of Water, etc., and spent a few more years, he might be able to condense True Intent.


    "This is the advantage of having a strong foundation," Li Yuan mused.


    A Demigod comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth was much more efficient than a Flying Heaven level... This was also why the strong, once they sensed their foundation was nearly at its limit, would strive to break through rapidly.


    Lifespan is limited!


    Even a True God has only thirty thousand years of life... The earlier one breaks through with a strong foundation, the greater the hope of reaching higher levels.


    Like a Demigod whose lifespan is a thousand years... if one remained at the Flying Heaven level for two to three hundred years, the hope of Ascending to God would be too slim.


    "Combat."


    "With a Semi-Divine Level soul, cultivate spiritual secret techniques," Li Yuan thought, "In Flying Heaven level battles, it''s extremely effective."


    Previously, Li Yuan rarely spent time cultivating spiritual secret techniques because his soul was only at the limit of Flying Heaven, while his opponents were all Flying Heaven Peak experts... The use of spiritual secret techniques was minimal, only causing slight disturbances.


    Naturally not worth wasting time on.


    But now, Li Yuan''s spiritual power had reached level 45, and the situation was entirely different.


    "If I cultivate some extremely domineering spiritual secret techniques, I have the hope of sweeping through the ordinary Flying Heaven," Li Yuan thought, "Even a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, with a will of great tenacity and strength, would be greatly affected, even distracted for a long time."


    When the soul levels of each other are close, the use of spiritual secret techniques is minimal.


    However, when one''s soul level completely surpasses that of the opponent, the effect is still great.


    "Perhaps, I should truly choose a spiritual secret technique now," Li Yuan thought to himself, "In the short term, my opponents will mainly be at the Flying Heaven level."


    Demigod?


    A casual attack from a Demigod would be enough to annihilate me.


    ...


    "Hm?"


    Li Yuan suddenly discovered a message transmission from Duanmu Hong.


    The content was simple, asking Li Yuan to meet with Dongfang Ji when he was awake and had time.


    "There''s no rush to meet the Alliance Hierarch..."


    "Things like cultivating spiritual secret techniques can also be delayed," Li Yuan''s eyes sparkled, "Let''s try, first, to awaken more Life Stars."


    Hadn''t he strived for so long to become a Semi-Divine Level soul just for the purpose of awakening the Star Meridians?


    Boom!


    With a thought, Li Yuan''s mind became singular, and his mental consciousness completely merged into the Life Starry Sky''s space.


    "Perception, much clearer than before," Li Yuan exerted his full effort in sensing, "Although nowhere near Spiritual Guidance... it''s definitely dozens of times stronger than before."


    Swoosh~


    Li Yuan''s strong mental consciousness instantly divided into a multitude of thoughts, following the pulsations of the Star Meridians and past experiences of awakening Life Stars in an attempt to awaken even more...


    One!


    Two!


    Ten!


    ... as time passed, half a month flew by in the blink of an eye, and the efficiency of awakening Life Stars with a Semi-Divine Level Soul far surpassed the past.


    In such a short period, although the Seven Star Veins had not yet awakened, Li Yuan had once again awakened more than a thousand Life Stars.


    Fewer failures,


    Clearly, a Semi-Divine Level Soul had significantly increased the efficiency of Li Yuan awakening the Star Meridians.


    The upper limit was greatly raised.


    ... Another two days later, after once more awakening a Life Star.


    "Hm?"


    Li Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes with a realization, a hint of surprise in his gaze, "Seven Star Veins!!"


    "It''s finally happening!" Li Yuan could feel the rapid changes in his body.


    Within the Life Starry Sky''s space.


    Among the countless, chaotically scattered Life Stars, a portion of the Life Stars.


    "Rumble~" Exactly 12,960 Life Stars, as if attracted by a strange force, had connected with one another, and then immediately set into motion.


    Like a cosmic orbit.


    Truly alive.


    ... Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Li Yuan''s body surface radiated layers of dazzling light.


    Seven Star Meridians interwove like beams of light.


    Some Star Meridians were incredibly bright, while others were relatively dim, and one was extremely faint, almost drowned out by the brilliance of the other lights.


    But regardless of their strength, they were ultimately Seven Star Veins, shining together.


    In the history of the Seven Star Civilization, the first Second Rank Seven Star Veins came into existence quietly.

 Chapter 342 The Strength of Li Yuan

    Seven Star Mountain, within the quiet chamber of the palace.


    "Seven Star Veins have been established."


    "Indeed, the entire Life Starry Sky has become much more brilliant, but the pressure on my soul has also greatly increased, and the speed of awakening the Life Star has clearly slowed down significantly," Li Yuan reflected silently.


    Awakening the Seven Star Veins, in a short time, does not greatly improve one''s strength, it''s all in preparation for reaching the Flying Heaven Level and even the Demigod level.


    Star Technique? With Li Yuan''s current body, even after cultivating the "All Things Divine Body," carrying four Star Techniques was already pushing the limit.


    Like other Prime Warriors, most could only cultivate two Star Techniques, and usually, they did not surpass the Fifth Layers Star Technique.


    "However, awakening an additional Star Vein at least significantly increases the speed of my Origin Power recovery," Li Yuan sensed the changes in the Sea of Origin Power.


    Now, with seven Star Veins in operation, among which three were Perfect Star Veins and the other three were also of high grade, even without condensing an Origin Pill, the recovery speed was no less than that of a Flying Heaven Middle Stage.


    With this in mind, when deploying the "All Things Divine Body," the Supreme Star Technique, he would be able to endure in battle even longer.


    "I''ll first tell Lanyue and Gu You," Li Yuan thought. "Then, it''s time to meet with the Alliance Hierarch."


    It had been almost half a month since he last received a message from Duanmu Hong.


    Just as he opened his smart wristband, Li Yuan found quite a few unread messages.


    "Hmm?"


    "Muhua and Qian Qian even sent me birthday wishes a few days ago?" Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile; between his cultivations, he would occasionally still communicate with his family.


    "It''s September already." Li Yuan felt quite emotional, as he had now turned 25 years old.


    Time really flies.


    "Qian Qian graduated from college and is preparing to start a fashion design company?" Li Yuan thought. "Muhua is also about to begin the life-and-death adventures in the Star Realm."


    Years had passed, and Li Yuan''s strength had transformed, causing great changes among his friends and relatives.


    Like his younger brother Li Muhua, who was admitted to Kunlun Martial University years ago, with Li Yuan''s help and his own talent and hard work, became an elite in Kunlun, and has now become a Prime Warrior.


    Although far from meeting the standards of the Martial Divine Hall, in Li Yuan''s view, it shouldn''t be difficult for him to become a Top-Level Origin Martial Artist in the future, and there was even hope to become a Flying Heaven Warrior... Li Yuan would naturally do his utmost to help his brother.


    As for other friends.


    Like Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, and other peers were now each Top-Level Origin Martial Artists.


    Alicia had already comprehended True Intent and was known alongside Lin Lanyue as the two most dazzling new stars of Seven Star Mountain.


    Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang both became members of Seven Star Mountain this year; given their age, it was also quite impressive... As for geniuses like Luo Chan and An Yongya, many had successively broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    A generation of newcomers replaces the old.


    In the current Martial God Realm, the deeds of people like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef are fading away, rarely mentioned anymore... such is the magic of time.


    "I wonder how the principal is doing," Li Yuan sighed internally.


    Since the battle years ago when Fang Hai slew a Demigod, which shook many Foreign Civilizations, there had been no news of him.


    In the meantime, Li Yuan had sent several messages through V-communication... all without any reply.


    Not long after.


    "Does the Alliance Hierarch have time?" Li Yuan received a reply from the Mountain Lord, Dongfang Ji is waiting for you in the usual place.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan stepped out of the quiet chamber and flew towards the palace on the mountaintop, where Duanmu Hong''s residence contained a passage to that mysterious place.


    And whether it was the Ancient Divine Palace or the Heavenly Snake Hall, Li Yuan did not bring them along.


    ...


    "Seven Star Veins? Finally achieved!" Gu You showed a smile, having just noticed the change in Li Yuan''s Star Veins.


    "With a Semi-Divine Level Soul, awakening the Life Star is indeed faster," Gu You thought to herself. "But to become Eight Star Veins?"


    She shook her head, still feeling that the hope was slim.


    ...


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    "Haha, big brother really did it." Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    Liu Bing swayed her body, her voice excited: "At 25, from the weakest life in the Mortal Domain, he has risen step by step to become a Second Rank Seven Star Veins warrior, truly unimaginable."


    "Indeed unimaginable," agreed Qiu Bingzun softly.


    "However, this should be his limit," Qiu Bingzun said quietly.


    "Senior Qiu, I think, big brother has the potential to go further and create a legend," Liu Bing spoke. "He''s only 25 years old."


    "Whether he''s 25 or even 30, that''s not the point," Qiu Bingzun said. "The important thing is, he lacks resources, he lacks a good enough external environment..."


    Qiu Bingzun remained steadfast in his views.


    "Think about yourself," Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Liu Bing. "Born with Seven Star Veins, do you think you have a chance to reach Eight Star Veins at the Second Rank?"


    Liu Bing was left speechless, feeling the hope was faint. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Big brother is different," Liu Bing shook her head. "If you don''t believe it, Senior Qiu, let''s make a bet."


    "What''s the bet?" Qiu Bingzun became interested.


    "If big brother can achieve Second Rank Eight Star Veins, from now on, you must keep a closer eye on big brother and give him as much guidance as possible," Liu Bing proposed with a sly smile. "If big brother faces danger, you must do your best to help him."


    "And if he doesn''t reach it?" Qiu Bingzun asked with a smile.


    "Then from now on, I will definitely practice harder," Liu Bing said earnestly. "Not to let your old man down."


    ...


    Sigh!


    Passing through the mysterious pathway in Duanmu Mountain Master''s palace, Li Yuan soon arrived at that mysterious place.


    "Is this a Cave Heaven World?" Li Yuan sensed the nothingness around him.


    When he had visited before, Li Yuan only felt everything was mysterious.


    But now, having undergone a transformation, in both True Intent Comprehension and Soul Realm, he had reached the Semi-Divine level... In short, in terms of observing and sensing the world, he was now of Semi-Divine caliber.


    Coming here again, he naturally could perceive the difference.


    "Alliance Hierarch," Li Yuan crossed through the void, arriving in front of the vague figure, and respectfully saluted.

 Chapter 342 Li Yuans Strength_2

    "You transformed into a semi-divine level soul quite some time ago, why did you only come to see me now?" Dongfang Ji asked with a hint of a smile in his voice.


    "I had some insights, so I continued cultivating after my soul metamorphosis." Li Yuan responded, "Now that I have awakened the Seven Star Veins in one breath... I immediately came to see the Alliance Hierarch."


    "Oh?"


    Dongfang Ji''s eyes brightened, "You''ve already become Seven Star Veins? So quickly? Show it to me."


    Even though he had anticipated Li Yuan would achieve Seven Star Veins,


    Dongfang Ji was still delighted when it was confirmed.


    "Yes." Li Yuan did not hide it and with a thought, immediately emitted a hazy earthy yellow glow around his body.


    The light was dazzling, with faintly visible seven threads, six brilliant and one somewhat dim¡­ undoubtedly Seven Star Veins.


    Perfect Star Vein and Nine Layer Star Vein, Eight Layer Star Vein when manifested outwardly, are very hard to distinguish from the divine radiance that shines, making it very difficult to determine.


    "Ha ha!"


    "Seven Star Veins, indeed it is Seven Star Veins." Dongfang Ji revealed a smile, his eyes twinkling with a glint of light, "A Second Rank Seven Star Vein, not only a first in our Seven Star Civilization but perhaps the first in the entire Dimensional Domain in a million years."


    "A million years?" Li Yuan asked curiously, "Were there ever Second Rank Seven Star Veins born in the Dimensional Domain before that?"


    Only by truly cultivating did Li Yuan understand the immense difficulty in giving birth to Second Rank Seven Star Veins.


    "I don''t know." Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    "Time is infinite, but life span is limited." Dongfang Ji laughed, "The Dimensional Domain is vast, many civilizations rise and fall, even True Gods can only live for thirty thousand years, the legendary Heavenly Divine can only live for three hundred thousand years... Even a powerful civilization like the Immortal Ruins Civilization only has a history of a million years."


    "Being able to trace back the history of the Dimensional Domain to a million years ago is already quite impressive."


    "I can almost confirm that you are the strongest Prime Warrior in the entire Dimensional Domain for the past million years," Dongfang Ji said with a smile, "but the entire Dimensional Domain is definitely in the order of billions of years."


    "What about an even older era?"


    "Perhaps the Dimensional Domain once gave birth to Heavenly Divine, gave birth to Second Rank Seven Star Veins and even Second Rank Eight Star Veins... but they have all perished in the sands of time," Dongfang Ji stated.


    Li Yuan nodded silently, recognizing that even the most powerful beings feel helpless in the face of the nearly infinite expanse of the starry sky.


    Heavenly Divine? Even Heavenly Divine could only live for three hundred thousand years.


    Like the Heavenly Serpent Clan, how powerful they were, yet according to Li Yuan and Liu Bing''s understanding, they only endured tens of millions of years despite many trials and tribulations.


    "Don''t dwell on the past, it only adds to one''s worries," Dongfang Ji said with a smile. "At least, you are currently the strongest."


    "Hmm." Li Yuan smiled.


    "What are your plans next?" Dongfang Ji asked, "When are you planning to become a Flying Heaven Warrior?"


    "Alliance Hierarch, I plan to first clear the Second Level Star Realm," Li Yuan said, "Then, I will continue concealed cultivation and try to break through to Eight Star Veins."


    "After becoming Eight Star Veins, then I will become a Flying Heaven Warrior," Li Yuan stated solemnly.


    "Eight Star Veins?" Dongfang Ji was slightly surprised: "Are you confident?"


    This was the first time Li Yuan revealed his ambition to Dongfang Ji.


    "Thirty percent," Li Yuan estimated after a thought.


    Though he had the help of the third Spiritual Guidance, achieving Second Rank Eight Star Veins was still legendary even in the Divine Realm... Li Yuan was eighty percent confident.


    But not wanting to exaggerate, he said only thirty percent.


    Letting the Alliance Hierarch have some psychological preparation was enough.


    "Thirty percent?" Dongfang Ji was already quite surprised.


    His vision was not ordinary and he knew very well what Second Rank Eight Star Veins meant.


    "You have two True God Heritages, you should be clear about the difficulty of Second Rank Eight Star Veins, still dare to say fifty percent¡­ I understand," Dongfang Ji acknowledged as he looked at Li Yuan: "No wonder you previously desperately spent over 2,000,000 Points to exchange for treasures, and strived for a soul metamorphosis, nearly perishing, the risk was extreme."


    "At that time I was somewhat puzzled."


    "So, you wanted to attempt for Eight Star Veins," Dongfang Ji understood Li Yuan''s thoughts.


    "Eight Star Veins." Dongfang Ji shook his head slightly, "If you truly pursue the limit, I''m afraid it might take ten, twenty years, can you endure such agony?"


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If the third Spiritual Guidance failed, Li Yuan would still try his best to reach it.


    "Li Yuan, you can try to pursue it."


    "But I think, if the gap is too large, there''s no need to force it. Our Seven Star Civilization''s cultivation conditions are ultimately too poor," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan: "Second Rank Seven Star Veins... are already quite good."


    Dongfang Ji had a very high perspective.


    He and Qiu Bingzun alike, after a bit of thought and analysis, felt that Li Yuan''s hopes of achieving Eight Star Veins were bleak.


    Spending another ten or twenty years might also be futile.


    "Alliance Hierarch."


    "If there''s a chance to pursue the limit, not to try would easily lead to regret later on," Li Yuan said frankly, smiling: "My nature is such."


    Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, suddenly recalling many of Li Yuan''s past deeds.


    In his first year, despite already progressing rapidly, Li Yuan still took great risks to use the ''Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow'', and his persistent attempt to reach the semi-divine level soul... how similar.


    "Moreover." Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire


    "Alliance Hierarch," Li Yuan smiled: "Haven''t you said before? Not even True Gods have hope of controlling the secrets of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?"


    Dongfang Ji somewhat understood.


    "I have True God Heritage, with some understanding. The direct disciples of Heavenly Divine are mostly Eight Star Veins geniuses," Li Yuan elaborated solemnly: "That is, achieving Second Rank Seven Star Veins, competing in the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine to metamorphose into Eight Star Veins."


    "They, all can be called unparalleled geniuses."


    Dongfang Ji nodded involuntarily.


    "But among them, hardly one in ten becomes Heavenly Divine," Li Yuan shook his head: "If I am like them, achieving Second Rank Eight Star Veins, would I be able to Ascend to Heavenly God in the future?"

 Chapter 342 Li Yuans Strength_3

    "My cultivation environment isn''t even as good as theirs, if I don''t fight for it, the hope to ascend to Heavenly God might be even smaller than that of those peerless geniuses."


    Dongfang Ji was speechless and felt shocked in his heart.


    Heavenly God? S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was something he could never have imagined.


    Li Yuan dared to set his sights on becoming a Heavenly God.


    "Our plane," Li Yuan''s eyes blazed, "was destroyed by the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the last civilization. As you said, Alliance Hierarch, if we don''t work hard enough... the entire future of our civilization is at risk of annihilation."


    "So, because the True Gods can''t control the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, you want to become a Heavenly God?" Dongfang Ji stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was only Second Rank.


    And he dared to think about becoming a Heavenly God?


    For a moment, Dongfang Ji didn''t know whether to say that Li Yuan was ambitiously far-sighted or arrogantly overconfident.


    A Heavenly God!


    Even in the Divine Realm, that was an existence standing at the peak.


    "The path to becoming a Heavenly God is very distant for me, and the road to ascension is even more illusory," Li Yuan said. "Therefore, I can only seize the opportunity and strive to do my best."


    "There will be danger," Dongfang Ji shook his head. "This soul transformation of yours almost led to your downfall."


    "Wanting great achievements without willing to take any risks, does such a good thing exist in this world?" Li Yuan shook his head. "Alliance Hierarch, have you not experienced life-and-death dangers on your cultivation journey?"


    "The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle," Li Yuan said emphatically.

    Li Yuan said no more.


    The enemies of the Heavenly Serpent Clan could kill even a Heavenly God.


    The enemies of the Ancient Torch Divine, were suspected to be the True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, a civilization also coveting the Seven Star Civilization.


    Currently, the Seven Star Civilization seemed to be in no crisis, Li Yuan''s family and loved ones were also at peace.


    Indeed, for a very long time, Li Yuan''s normal growth was also very dazzling... but the lurking dangers of the future forced Li Yuan to consider more.


    If there was no chance to achieve Second Rank Eight Star Veins, so be it.


    But with a great opportunity to forge a foundation that surpassed the disciples of the Heavenly Gods, Li Yuan naturally chose to take a gamble.


    "Ha ha," Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    "In your bones, you only believe in yourself," Dongfang Ji sighed lightly.


    In that moment, Dongfang Ji understood the difference between Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai was the type with a very steady personality and was also willing to believe in others.


    In his heart, Fang Hai actually thought he would find it difficult to surpass Dongfang Ji and admired him greatly.


    But Li Yuan was different.


    In his bones, he had a kind of obsession; once he accepted a responsibility, he wanted to carry it forward completely instead of relying on others.


    Sometimes, this is stubbornness!


    Even, it could be said to be madness.


    But geniuses are indeed obstinate.


    Without a heart determined to be the strongest and not inferior to anyone, it is very hard to reach the ultimate peak.


    A strong person can be defeated by an enemy, but their spirit must not be defeated.


    ...


    "You have already created miracles," Dongfang Ji said. "I will give you advice and the utmost help; it''s up to you to make the choice."


    "Thank you, Alliance Hierarch," Li Yuan said respectfully.


    The full support of the Alliance Hierarch was excellent.


    "You just mentioned that you want to sweep the Second Level Star Realm?" Dongfang Ji said. "Now, do you have the confidence to battle Duanmu Hong?"


    "Among the level 36 Flying Heaven Star Lords, he is of average strength, and his comprehension of True Intent is not far from the Semi-Divine."


    "Duanmu Mountain Lord?" Li Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Given a bit more time, I should be able to match or even defeat Duanmu Mountain Lord."


    "Defeat?" A light seemed to flash in Dongfang Ji''s eyes. "Are you really confident?"


    "I am," Li Yuan truly was.


    Several years ago, during a battle with the level 36 Myriad Scales Beast Emperor in the Ming Xu Star Realm, Li Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage and only managed to win using the authority of the Mothership.


    In terms of power, Duanmu Hong was far superior to the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor; though their True Intent comprehension was similar, Duanmu Hong held absolute advantages in weapons, treasures, Star Technique, and many other aspects.


    Especially Star Techniques!


    Li Yuan estimated that Duanmu Hong had cultivated at least four Star Techniques, with no shortage of Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor? Back then, he had only cultivated one Star Technique.


    But today''s Li Yuan was different from before.


    "Fundamentally, I am at an absolute disadvantage, with a full six-level gap."


    "In terms of Star Technique, I am also at a slight disadvantage," Li Yuan mused. "But in the Mysteries of True Intent, I should far surpass Duanmu Mountain Lord, which should compensate for most of the disadvantage."


    The most critical point was that of the Semi-Divine Level Soul.


    Once he had cultivated the Spiritual Secret Technique, he could inflict severe impact, which gave Li Yuan enough confidence.


    "It seems."


    "This period, you''ve made progress again in the comprehension of True Intent," Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    The breakthrough in the True Meaning of Wind had indeed strengthened his Spear Technique quite a bit.


    "Indeed," Dongfang Ji nodded, "your awakening of the Seven Star Veins, and the stronger star veins, indicate a stronger spiritual power, higher skill mysteries... I believe in your strength."


    "But."


    "When venturing into the Second Level Star Realm, you must still be cautious, especially those with demigods, you must avoid them," Dongfang Ji said, "And for those Star Realms that may harbor Flying Heaven Limit Experts, you should also stay clear."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded.


    Duanmu Mountain Master could be considered to possess the normal 36th level combat power, ranking among the extremely strong within the Flying Heaven Peak.


    But there are even stronger ones among the 36th level Flying Heaven, those whose True Intent Comprehension has reached the Sixth Stage Perfection (Demigod Level), these experts are usually called Flying Heaven Limit Experts.


    They are on the verge of making a breakthrough to demigodhood at any moment.


    If Li Yuan were to encounter a Flying Heaven Limit Expert, he was not confident he could win, but he did have hope of protecting himself.


    Stronger than that? There were those like Fang Hai before he achieved the Seven Star Veins, also at the 36th level, but had already stepped into the Threshold of the Law... his combat power was nearly that of a demigod.


    If he encountered a Flying Heaven Warrior who was nearly a demigod, Li Yuan admitted to himself, he would definitely not be the match.


    A demigod?


    A gap of two whole major realms, not a sliver of hope of winning! It was a matter of dying in one move or two.


    "You go back first."


    "I will provide you with the list of Star Realms as soon as possible," Dongfang Ji said, "Those that pose a huge threat, are rich in resources, yet don''t have too powerful enemies in the Second Level Star Realms... all need to be swept clean."


    "Also, the attacks must be swift."


    "Once you make a move in one Star Realm, the other Star Realms will definitely receive the news very quickly," Dongfang Ji earnestly said, "They will likely retreat rapidly and go into hiding."


    "Once they hide."


    "It will be difficult for you to search each Star Realm one by one," Dongfang Ji said.


    "I understand." Li Yuan nodded.


    For example, in the Rob Sea Star Realm, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, with the ground even deeper by thousands of kilometers, if a Flying Heaven Warrior hid deep in the ground, even with a Semi-Divine Level Soul, how long would it take to search?


    How long would it take to scour numerous Star Realms?


    It was like trying to catch fish in a lake.


    "Let me know when you are about to depart," Dongfang Ji said.


    "Yes."


    ...


    Not long after,


    Li Yuan returned to the Seven Star Mountain, quickly placed orders in the Seven Stars Treasury, and purchased some treasures.


    "This time, I can only act under the identity of the Spirit Gun," Li Yuan murmured to himself, "Not yet achieving Flying Heaven, I still cannot reveal my true identity."


    To sweep through numerous Second Level Star Realms, one aim was to clear many obstacles of civilization.


    Secondly, it was to acquire Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    "I must first master the Spiritual Secret Techniques," Li Yuan quickly selected two suitable ones from the many Inherited Secret Techniques left by Qiu Bingzun and Ancient Torch Divine.


    "Burning Heart Blade!"


    "Mind Soul!"


    These two Secret Techniques had very ordinary names, but their might was terrifying; the former was a Spiritual Secret Technique left by Qiu Bingzun, extremely domineering in effect, specializing in directly exterminating the enemy''s soul.


    The latter, left by the Ancient Torch Divine, was somewhat similar to an Illusion Technique, used for disrupting the enemy.


    Both these Spiritual Secret Techniques were only accessible for cultivation to those with a Semi-Divine Level Soul, and at most, they could be cultivated all the way to the True God Level, incredibly profound.


    "Truly formidable." After a bit of comprehension, Li Yuan marveled at them, none of the Spiritual Secret Techniques he knew within the Seven Star Civilization could match these two.


    "However,"


    "With great power comes great difficulty in cultivation," Li Yuan thought to himself, "If my spiritual power were just at the 40th level, I''m afraid I would still struggle to cultivate them."


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan bought many more exotic treasures to aid in the cultivation of these two Secret Techniques.


    In the blink of an eye,


    over a month went by, and Li Yuan finally gained initial mastery over these two Secret Techniques.


    "To continue cultivating now would yield no significant improvement in the short term," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Spear Technique, Spiritual Secret Technique, and many other aspects had all reached a limit, impossible to breakthrough in a short time.


    "It''s time to take action."


    "Aim to push the Spiritual Awakening Level to 75%," Li Yuan thought.


    ...


    "Little Bing, are you ready?" A trace of thought from Li Yuan entered the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    "I''m ready." Liu Bing''s eyes lit up.


    "Good, you probably know about this operation," Li Yuan said with a smile, "If we encounter a powerful enemy, when the time comes, it might be Little Bing who needs to take action."


    "Big Brother, rest assured," Liu Bing said with a smile, "I''ve never fought a life and death battle before."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; in terms of raw combat strength, Little Bing was even more fearsome than himself.


    But she hadn''t cultivated any Spiritual Secret Techniques.


    ...


    "Sister, are you really going to accompany me? This time we are heading to an outer-dimensional Star Realm," Li Yuan entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    "Let''s go!"


    "I now, officially recognize you," Gu You said, shaking her head.


    "Alright," Li Yuan smiled.

 Chapter 343 For Civilization! Sweeping Through the Ten Directions

    Inside the massive Fourth Rank Battleship, the "Invisibility" system was activated. Coupled with the warship''s extremely high permissions within the Seven Star Alliance, it was undetectable.


    "Ha ha, finally meeting the number one prodigy of the Seven Star Civilization, not bad, not bad at all," said the suit-wearing, burly blond middle-aged man with a laugh: "Even younger than I had imagined."


    "Lant Semi-Divine," Li Yuan saluted respectfully, also feeling quite moved in his heart.


    Li Yuan never expected that the Alliance Hierarch would directly arrange for ''Lant Semi-Divine'' to come and protect him personally.


    Lant Semi-Divine hailed from one of the Seven Great Planets, ''Heavenly Sea Star''.


    He was the first Semi-Divine in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, the most ancient being in the civilization, and had once commanded the civilization for over a century... Before Dongfang Ji''s rise, he was the undisputed second most powerful figure in the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even to this day, Lant Semi-Divine remained the recognized second strongest in the civilization, second only to Dongfang Ji.


    Moreover, Li Yuan''s current actual permissions in the Virtual Network were ''Semi-Divine Level'', granting him access to an abundance of information.


    He was well aware that within the civilization, there were differences among Semi-Divines, some Semi-Divines were highly trusted, like the San Ye Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others.


    Some Semi-Divines were not trusted.


    After all, history had seen Semi-Divines betray the civilization, causing immense destruction.


    Yet, Lant Semi-Divine could be considered the core of the entire civilization.


    Just like Li Yuan, who had grown with the help of Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, Dongfang Ji, and others.


    When Dongfang Ji rose to power years ago, he too had received guidance from Lant Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others.


    "When the Alliance Hierarch spoke to me not long ago, I was quite shocked," lamented Lant Semi-Divine, "Never would I have imagined that Spirit Gun was actually Li Yuan. No wonder you''ve kept yourself so well hidden." Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile.


    His Phantom Spirit Garment could only deceive a Semi-Divine briefly.


    And the Semi-Divines, each possessing a Semi-Divine Level Soul, were not so easily obstructed from prying.


    Semi-Divines, with minimal effort, could naturally discern the truth.


    And Lant Semi-Divine was trustworthy.


    "I didn''t expect the Alliance Hierarch to have you, sir, to protect me," Li Yuan said with a smile: "It''s an honor I scarcely deserve."


    "You are such a prodigy, and now you are on Feixing. Naturally, you need to be cautious and aware of potential assassination by Semi-Divines. Since the Alliance Hierarch couldn''t come, me coming to protect you is the best option," Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile: "Besides, don''t call me an old man, I''m not old."


    "Ha ha, my mistake," Li Yuan laughed: "You are very young, senior."


    Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were among the older Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But in fact, they were only a little over three hundred years old. Relative to their life spans lasting a thousand years, they were still young, and there was still hope for them to Ascend to God.


    "I''ve looked at the list," said Lant Semi-Divine: "Most are Star Realms located on Feixing."


    "Correct," nodded Li Yuan.


    The entire civilization was connected to over a thousand Star Realms, but most were First Level Star Realms... There were nearly two hundred Second Level Star Realms in total.


    And the list of Star Realms given by the Alliance Hierarch totaled 47 Second Level Star Realms, which was not a large number.


    More than half of the Semi-Divines were located on Feixing.


    According to Li Yuan''s inquiry in the database, Feixing should be the core of the entire Dimensional Plane, with realms like Nine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm all located on Feixing.


    Even the legendary ''Plane Passage'' was on Feixing, though its exact location was unknown.


    The only Fourth Level Star Realm ''Demon Mountain Star Realm'' was also in Feixing.


    For many reasons, Feixing gathered the cream of the Seven Star Civilization, with the highest population and the most experts... Over half the Semi-Divines stayed on Feixing to guard it.


    "Why choose Dragon Bone Star Realm first? The enemy is weakest there," Lant Semi-Divine questioned with curiosity: "Shouldn''t you start with ''Mystic Demons Star Realm''?"


    "After all, once you begin your attack, you will expose yourself, and the enemies of other Star Realms will certainly retreat quickly," Lant Semi-Divine said: "Then, concentrating the slaughter will be very difficult." S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    Mystic Demons Star Realm was the strongest among the enemy forces on the list of Star Realms, it also had the largest territory, connecting to the Myriad Demons Civilization... There were dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization, among which were several Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Were there any Flying Heaven Limit Experts? It was uncertain!


    While Dragon Bone Star Realm was very weak, with only a few Flying Heaven Alien Races.


    "Senior Lant," Li Yuan smiled, "I have my considerations; you''ll understand when the time comes."


    "Alright."


    "Anyway, the Alliance Hierarch only asked me to protect you; the specifics of the plan are up to you, the executor," Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    He held an extremely high status within the civilization; even Bai Shan Semi-Divine had to address him as ''senior''.


    But since the Seven Star Alliance''s establishment more than a hundred years ago, he had been keeping a low profile and even refused the title of ''Second Alliance Leader''.


    He held a favorable view of Li Yuan.


    After learning of Li Yuan''s deeds through Dongfang Ji, he held him in high regard.


    In Lant Semi-Divine''s eyes, Li Yuan was like Dongfang Ji of yesteryears, possibly bringing another wave of innovation and change to the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Not long after,


    The massive Fourth Rank Battleship arrived above the not-so-large War Fortress¡ªDragon Bone Fortress.


    This was the direct passage to Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    And the only conduit between the Seven Star Civilization and Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    The entire fortress had already been put under martial law, and even the several Flying Heaven Warriors originally stationed here had been ordered to stay away.


    The goal was to conceal Li Yuan''s movements.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors knew only that the high echelons of the civilization were in motion. As for what exactly was being undertaken? By whom? It all remained a mystery.


    "Senior Lant, I''m going now," Li Yuan whispered.


    Whoosh!


    His form distorted with light, Li Yuan silently entered the War Fortress; the Prime Warriors, First Rank Warriors... inside the fortress couldn''t detect him after he had concealed his aura.

 Chapter 343 For Civilization! Sweeping Across All Directions_2

    ```


    Soon,


    Li Yuan had already passed through the "Star Realm Passage" at the bottom of the War Fortress and entered the Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    ...


    "This Star Realm really is small," Li Yuan remarked as he quickly flew out from the "Outpost" located more than ten kilometers underground.


    He reached the surface and even soared into the high skies.


    In the sky was a dark sun, its light dim.


    "Dragon Bone Mountain Range," Li Yuan observed the vast mountain range on the ground, stretching thousands of kilometers. From its formation, it resembled the fallen skeletal remains of a divine dragon.


    Hence its name, "Dragon Bone Mountain Range," and the entire Star Realm was named after it, Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    "According to the intelligence gathered over many years,"


    "The conditions in the Dragon Bone Star Realm are very suitable for cultivating the Second Rank Spiritual Medicine ''Ling Le Fruit'', as well as many First Rank Spiritual Medicines," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In terms of value, they were much higher than the ''Vital Blood Source Ganoderma'' he had discovered in the Flying Serpent Valley years ago.


    Simply put, this Star Realm was very suitable to become a medicinal garden for the Seven Star Civilization.


    However!!


    Compared to the expected yields, the enemy''s forces were too strong... The Dragon Bone Star Realm had two major forces.


    One force was indigenous, with several Flying Heaven beings.


    The other force was from the Foreign Civilization ''Fire Winter Civilization,'' a name given by the Seven Star Civilization. They also had several Flying Heaven Alien Race members stationed here.


    The two forces were fiercely battling each other.


    The Seven Star Civilization?


    First, it was only in the past dozen years that an entrance to the Star Realm was discovered, and secondly, they were unwilling to invest too great a force for a small Star Realm to directly erupt into conflict with the Fire Winter Civilization, hence they had not taken action.


    After all, like Yu Jinghe and the others before, they were not able to break through the War Fortresses of the Fire Winter Civilization.


    Even so.


    "To this day, the Fire Winter Civilization probably doesn''t even know that a Star Realm Passage has appeared between us and the Dragon Bone Star Realm," Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    The Seven Star Civilization had many Star Realms, and they had come into contact with many Foreign Civilizations, most of which would not result in direct and tragic conflict.


    "What a pity," Li Yuan mused, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.


    Whoosh!


    He landed back on the ground and quickly flew towards the ''tail end'' of the Dragon Bone Mountain Range.


    Over the past dozen years, although the Seven Star Civilization had only established an Outpost, they had been continuously gathering intelligence on the entire Star Realm... Now that the intelligence had reached Li Yuan''s hands, it was proving useful. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Red Moon Base was the main base of the Fire Winter Civilization in the Dragon Bone Star Realm, with many strong beings stationed inside.


    Among them, there were several Flying Heaven warriors.


    In the deepest part of the base was a beautifully magnificent hall; the entire hall was empty except for a soft grand bed at the center.


    At the moment, two figures were hysterically entangled on the bed, venting their desires.


    After a while,


    The two finally relaxed.


    "Big brother, you were much more fierce than last time," the enchanting woman lay on the bed like a puddle of mud, her body covered with scales resembling snake scales, quite beautiful to behold: "I almost couldn''t handle it."


    "I just made a breakthrough to Level 33, naturally, I''m more impressive," the burly man teased with a laugh: "Besides, if you can''t handle it below, there''s still above."


    "Stop it," the enchanting woman snorted.


    The burly man burst out laughing, with a wave of his hand, a wine cup from a distant table floated over, and he drank heartily. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Big brother, when do you plan to make a move on those Alien Races from Dragon Head Mountain?" the enchanting woman changed the subject.


    "No rush!"


    "These indigenous Alien Races, none of them have any Star Techniques, and their foundations are pitifully weak. They only rely on that old dragon''s strength," the burly man''s eyes turned icy: "I''m now Level 33, and my Star Meridian is stronger. Once I''ve cultivated a more powerful Star Technique, I can start plotting to make a move."


    "Hmph!"


    "Once this group of Alien Races is wiped out, the entire Star Realm will be our domain," the burly man said: "By then, we''ll also have a bargaining chip to negotiate with our tribe, free and easy."


    "Mhm," the enchanting woman''s eyes were full of admiration.


    Being trapped in a Star Realm, never able to return, many strong beings were discontented, yet many Flying Heaven Warriors without high aspirations found joy in it too.


    Suddenly.


    "Buzz~" An invisible force silently infiltrated the chamber, and immediately swept over the two Flying Heaven warriors.


    The secret technique "Mind Soul"!


    "Hm?" The enchanting woman, still revealing a large expanse of fair skin, was suddenly overtaken by a trace of confusion.


    With her Origin Power Cultivation only at Level 31, her Soul was quite ordinary.


    "Hm?" The burly man, however, struggled in his eyes as he was Level 33 with a much stronger Soul, naturally better at resisting this Soul Secret Technique.


    But it was only a struggle.


    After a moment, he too succumbed.


    Having stayed in the Dragon Bone Star Realm for a long time, without any significant enemies, and routinely cultivating, on top of indulging in pleasures, his Willpower had actually fallen a lot... Soul Cultivation Level usually wouldn''t decline, but Willpower would gradually change over time.


    Some people, strong-willed in youth, might weaken as they approach old age.


    "I''ve become a Semi-Divine? Became the overlord of the entire World? With so many beauties," the burly man was now completely immersed in the "Mind Soul" secret technique''s constructed Illusionary Realm.


    He was lost in it.


    Suddenly.


    "Buzz~" Another surge of destructive Soul Power crept silently into the hearts of the two Flying Heaven warriors. This power was much more domineering than the previous Soul Force.


    The secret technique "Heart Scorcher Blade"!


    Just seconds later, the two powerful Flying Heaven warriors suddenly stiffened, then collapsed limply, their Soul presence quickly dissipating.


    Their bodies showed no damage, but they were dead.


    Because their Souls had been annihilated.


    Spiritual Attack, that is, Soul Attack, is so domineering, different from Material Attack... Material Attack can cause damage over and over, and it is difficult to annihilate directly.


    ```

 Chapter 343 For Civilization! Sweeping Across All Directions_3

    And soul attacks either fail or, once successful, can silently claim a life... with the soul and body of the powerful so firmly fused, soul eradications become incredibly difficult.


    Souls, in the end, are but an illusory force.


    ...


    In the void of Red Moon Base,


    Li Yuan was fully concentrated on concealing his presence, his Divine Sense enveloped the entire base, making everything within subject to his Inquiry.


    No one in the entire Red Moon Base could detect his existence.


    "Two bases,"


    "Five Flying Heaven Warriors, one at the Flying Heaven Middle Stage, four at the initial stage, all obliterated by soul attacks," Li Yuan felt a trace of fatigue: "Mission perfectly accomplished."


    Just like physical attacks tire the body and require the consumption of Origin Power, preventing prolonged combat... soul attacks also consume Soul Power and similarly require time to recover.


    "No exposure."


    "Perhaps, no one would even notice that I was here," Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Why start with the weaker Star Realms? That was why!


    With his powerful soul attacks, Li Yuan could silently eliminate a large number of ordinary Flying Heaven Alien Race members.


    If he started by attacking the strongest, like those at the Flying Heaven Peak, Li Yuan was not confident he could eradicate their souls directly, which would mean a direct assault and certain exposure.


    "[You have slain a Third Rank Life, obtained Spirituality Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 64.5%]" Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    Killing five members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race only increased his Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.5%.


    To raise it to 75%,


    he must slay hundreds more of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    "Big brother, your soul attacks are truly formidable, capable of directly killing a Flying Heaven," a green snake head emerged from Li Yuan''s sleeve, Liu Bing spoke with eyes full of admiration: "My soul attacks have difficulty even eradicating a Second Rank Life."


    Since entering the Star Realm, Liu Bing had been coiling around Li Yuan''s arm, making it convenient to strike at a moment''s notice.


    "It''s just ordinary Flying Heaven," Li Yuan shook his head: "Against you, it wouldn''t be very effective."


    "There''s still some impact, and that''s with me practicing the Soul Defense Secret Technique and having a Soul-guarding Treasure," Liu Bing continued: "Other Third Rank Lives, even those Flying Heaven Peak Experts, would probably be greatly affected."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    After mastering two Soul Secret Techniques, he had tested their power at the Ancient Divine Palace''s Hundred Battles Arena and also on Liu Bing... Liu Bing''s Willpower was somewhat lacking, now only at the ordinary Flying Heaven Level, but her soul had grown to the 39th level.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent''s Bloodline Talent had a staggeringly rapid growth before ascension to godhood, even after, the rate of progress was terrifying.


    A strong soul, coupled with secret techniques and treasures, created a formidable resistance to soul attacks; Li Yuan could only manage to slightly unsettle her.


    Of course!


    Treasures like those that directly shield the soul are hard to come by; as far as Li Yuan knew, most Divine beings didn''t have them... at least Gu You didn''t seem to possess one.


    Liu Bing? Many of her treasures were not left by Qiu Bingzun, but by the Heavenly Divine of the Snake Clan.


    "Let''s go."


    "Head to Dragon Head Mountain," Li Yuan said quietly, he did not go on to kill the First and Second Rank Lives at Red Moon Base.


    Killing them wouldn''t yield Spirituality Nourishment.


    Moreover, even if these First and Second Rank lives were exterminated, the Fire Winter Civilization could quickly send more... most importantly, if they were all slain, the Fire Winter Civilization would surely find out swiftly.


    As it was now, with the five Flying Heaven leaders from both bases falling silently, it would likely take some time before the Fire Winter Civilization became aware.


    Many weaker civilizations do not possess ''Life Crystals'' and such treasures.


    "Let''s go, Little Bing," Li Yuan spoke somberly: "We need to make haste." S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Okay!"


    The green snake, which was originally coiled around Li Yuan''s arm, rapidly enlarged, spread its wings, and lifted Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    "Big brother, hold tight, we''re about to fly." The green snake emitted a hazy green light, which also faintly enveloped Li Yuan, her speed suddenly surged to a terrifying level, surpassing 20 times the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.


    She was faster than most Flying Heaven Limit Experts.


    "Ha, exhilarating, whoo! Big brother, I''ve been holding back for years," Liu Bing''s voice was cheerful.


    Li Yuan laughed.


    "This speed is indeed terrifying; the ''Sky-Cleaving Wings'' truly deserve to be a Nine Layer Star Technique," Li Yuan marveled inwardly.


    This was the first time Liu Bing revealed her full strength.


    In terms of pure speed, Li Yuan had to admit that after losing the ''Wind Feather'' Star Technique, his speed was probably only a third of Liu Bing''s. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire


    Not even close to the same level.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, one of the strongest Divine Beasts of the Wind Vein across the Divine Realm, had a terrifying talent, especially for speed.


    Liu Bing, who had practiced the most fitting and powerful Escaping Method Star Technique, "Sky-Cleaving Wings," along with a Law Comprehension comparable to a Demigod in the middle stage (Threshold of the Law).


    It could be said,


    In terms of pure speed, Liu Bing was unrivaled, nearing the level of a Demigod.


    ...


    Dragon Head Mountain, the stronghold of the native powers of Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    Within a vast cavern,


    "Keep practicing hard."


    "With the powers of those extraterrestrial beings growing stronger, if we do not practice diligently, we will eventually be utterly eradicated," two enormous Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts spoke solemnly.


    In the hall below, many Second Rank Exotic Beasts listened respectfully.


    As a native force, they were too weak, with little heritage... and the low intelligence of the lower rank members prevented a stable heritage from forming.


    However, in the conflict with the Fire Winter Civilization, they had always been struggling, even as their tribal power weakened, they had never thought of giving up.


    Suddenly,


    An invisible disturbance swept through, and right before the eyes of the many Second Rank Exotic Beasts, the bodies of the two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts stiffened and they fell thunderously, dying instantly.

    "Roar~~"


    Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    The entire Dragon Head Mountain was in chaos, as many Second Rank Exotic Beasts attempted to seek out the other Flying Heaven Ancestors, but soon discovered... the other Flying Heaven Ancestors had already perished.


    Likewise, there were no wounds, but their Soul presence dissipated.


    This was definitely the sky collapsing!


    "It''s over!"


    "We''re thoroughly doomed, it must be Fire Winter Civilization acting in the dark, our entire World will be occupied," declared the most prominent Second Rank Exotic Beasts in utter panic.


    With all the Third Rank Ancestors gone, leaving only them, the Second Rank Lives, how could they possibly fight?


    Up till now, they still didn''t know exactly how their own Third Rank Ancestors had perished.


    ...


    In less than a quarter of an hour.


    With Liu Bing''s assistance, Li Yuan had already returned to Feixing, back on the Fourth Rank Battleship.


    "Why are you back so soon? Did you encounter trouble?" Lant Semi-Divine asked, slightly surprised.


    From the time Li Yuan left for the Dragon Bone Star Realm to his return, less than an hour had passed.


    Such a short span of time.


    In Lant Semi-Divine''s estimation, Li Yuan had at most slaughtered a certain faction.


    Therefore, it could only indicate that he encountered trouble and had to return midway.


    What an unfavorable start!


    "Don''t be disheartened," Lant Semi-Divine consoled.


    "Fire Winter Civilization, local forces, a total of nine Flying Heaven experts, all slain."


    "No disturbance to Fire Winter Civilization," Li Yuan whispered, "Elder, let''s head to the next Star Realm."


    "What?" Lant Semi-Divine widened his eyes, "All slain?"


    What kind of slaughtering speed was this?


    "Alright."


    "Onto the next Star Realm." Lant Semi-Divine didn''t doubt Li Yuan''s words, and with a thought, the battleship swiftly took off.


    The slaughter plan had already commenced, so naturally, the quicker the pace, the better.


    The longer the delay, the higher the exposure risk.


    ...Time passed.


    Jade Sea Star Realm, within a massive city belonging to the ''Fire Hell Civilization''.


    "Continue to consolidate."


    "Continue to proliferate; the wars within the Star Realm have been peaceful for so long, our Breeding Area can continue to expand," discussed six Flying Heaven experts belonging to the same tribe.


    This was their routine meeting.


    Suddenly.


    A rustle¡ªa wave of invisible fluctuations passed by; swiftly, the six Flying Heaven experts silently perished.


    Due to it being a high-level meeting, other experts of the base remained unaware for a short duration. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Mountain Demon Star Realm.


    Beneath an imposing and endless mountain.


    "Rumble~" the mountain trembled.


    A powerful creature as massive as a mountain, its body pitch-black, stomped upon the Earth, looking up at the figure in the void above.


    "Who exactly are you?" the Mountain Demon leader asked, both terrified and furious.


    He had just been asleep moments ago and was suddenly attacked, initially via a Soul Attack... he nearly died.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan didn''t bother with idle talk and immediately moved, transforming into a streak of light and lunging forward.


    If the Soul Slaughter did not succeed, then face the battle head-on.


    "Hum~" Silent Soul waves enveloped the area once more.


    The Mountain Demon leader, the strongest of the Alien Race in the Mountain Demon Star Realm, had a body level of 35.


    "Whir!"


    As the Mountain Demon leader struggled vacantly, a seemingly slow yet terrifyingly beautiful spear light shone.


    The Spear Light tore through heaven and earth!


    "Splat~" The Mountain Demon leader''s seemingly formidable body was instantly ripped open with a huge gash, followed by another streak of Spear Light, piercing directly through his skull.


    The Mountain Demon leader, dead!


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, stood in the void.


    Unmoved if not provoked, once he struck, Li Yuan naturally unleashed his strongest attack, combining the Two True Meanings of Wind and Earth, the Black Chen Spear exploded! The Supreme Star Technique of the God Body of All Things burst forth.


    With the Soul Attack as a distraction, it was naturally a one-hit kill.


    "In terms of power, this Mountain Demon leader was slightly stronger than the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor back then."


    "He was the strongest among the hundreds of Flying Heaven Alien Race I''ve slaughtered these past few days," Li Yuan mentally noted.


    In less than two days.


    Li Yuan had already obliterated over thirty Star Realms, from the weakest to the strongest, but all were Soul Slaughters.


    This Mountain Demon leader was the first Flying Heaven Peak Expert Li Yuan had encountered, forcing him to act.


    "Big brother, another win!"


    "Haha," Liu Bing''s excited voice rang out, then suddenly he seemed puzzled, "Big brother, why do I feel you''re not quite happy?"


    "You''ve killed another batch of enemies, nearly twenty Flying Heaven Alien Race in this Star Realm have been slaughtered, and the Seven Star Civilization should be able to swiftly occupy this Star Realm. Big brother, you should be happy," Liu Bing wondered.


    Li Yuan sighed softly and did not speak.


    The more he killed, the less joy Li Yuan felt in his heart, but his resolve only deepened.


    Looking down at the body of the Mountain Demon leader below.


    "Sorry!" Li Yuan thought silently, his expression ice cold, "But for my civilization, I must do this!"


    Whoo!


    Liu Bing carried Li Yuan swiftly away from this Star Realm.


    Li Yuan glanced at the panel in the Divine Palace:


    [Spiritual Awakening Level: 75% (Current limit 75%, third Spiritual Guidance can be initiated.)]


    In the past two frantic days of slaughter, Li Yuan''s Spiritual Awakening Level had already reached the 75% limit.


    Yet.


    Without completely concluding this operation, Li Yuan wouldn''t stop.


    "The easily cleared Star Realm targets are all completed," Li Yuan''s eyes icy cold. "The next targets are all Flying Heaven Peak experts."


    "Thus, let''s start slaughtering from the strongest."


    "Next target."


    "Mystic Demons Star Realm!"

 Chapter 344 Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?

    Dragon Bone Star Realm, Red Moon Base.


    "Two lords, didn''t you say you would summon me today? Why haven''t you come out after so long?" A burly man clad in crimson battle armor, his face covered with scales, stood in front of the Quiet Chamber, hesitant.


    He had already been waiting outside for several hours.


    No response to his messages.


    Despite this, he dared not knock on the door, aware of the temper of the two lords... even a slight disobedience would be severely punished.


    In the Dragon Bone Star Realm, it was almost dictated by their words.


    Suddenly.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Several streaks of light darted over, each with a formidable presence, but all had faces filled with terror.


    "Meng Huoyan, why are you here? Where''s Lord Tao?" The leader, a large man in black armor, landed with a face full of panic, looking at the man in crimson armor.


    "What''s going on?" The man in crimson armor felt alarmed, "How did you come from Dark Heart Base, did something happen?"


    A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.


    Dark Heart Base, another base, was not very far away, but still several hundred kilometers.


    Normally, these Second Rank Lives, being commanders, wouldn''t all come to Red Moon Base without reason.


    "They are dead!"


    "All dead." The man in black armor''s eyes turned blood-red, his voice tinged with fear, "Lord Blood Axe and the others, both are dead!"


    "What?" The man in crimson armor was greatly shocked, repeatedly asking, "What exactly happened?"


    "Today we went to report, but we found the door to the Quiet Chamber open, so we went in and discovered both lords dead inside." The man in black armor continued, "And their bodies were intact, no injuries, but their life force had completely disappeared."


    Meng Huoyan felt his heart tremble.


    Dead without a sound!


    "We then sent messages to Lord Tao, Lord Qing, but when we got no responses from either, we immediately decided to come here." The man in black armor went on, "That''s when we ran into you, Meng Huoyan."


    Hearing this, Meng Huoyan couldn''t stay still any longer.


    "Even if the two lords blame us, it can''t be helped anymore." Meng Huoyan thought quickly, took out a token, and placed it on the door of the Quiet Chamber.


    Subsequently, he input the verification password!


    Finally.


    "Boom~" The door to the Quiet Chamber slowly opened, revealing the passage leading further inside.


    Yet even then, there was no response from inside the Quiet Chamber, and Meng Huoyan''s heart was full of concern.


    Swoosh!


    Meng Huoyan rushed in first, followed closely by the other Second Rank Lives. After quickly passing through two corridors, they witnessed a horrifying scene.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors, lying disheveled on a large bed, already devoid of life.


    "They''re dead too?"


    "This!!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Everyone''s dead."


    "All the Flying Heaven experts within the Dragon Bone Star Realm are gone." This scene sent chills down the spines of the few Second Rank Lives.


    What kind of bizarre spectacle was this?


    What danger had they encountered that all the Flying Heaven experts were dead? Could those of them who remained alive manage to survive?


    Without hesitation.


    These Second Rank Lives immediately activated an emergency route, reporting to the higher-ups of the Fire Winter Civilization.


    ...


    "Everyone''s dead?"


    "Died silently within the base?" Fire Winter Civilization also had more than ten Demigods, who upon receiving this shocking news, quickly gathered together.


    Bizarre!


    "The War Base should withstand a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, how could Tao Zhen and the others have died without cause?"


    "The bodies are intact!"


    "Not a single injury, and from the current situation, there were no signs of resistance?" These Demigods, having vast insight, quickly surmised a possibility.


    Soul Annihilation!


    The Flying Heaven Warriors of Dragon Bone Star Realm had been killed by soul annihilation.


    "Tao Hai, who''s Level 32 and has cultivated for many years¡ªsilently annihilating his soul is not something ordinary Demigods could achieve?"


    "At least it must be a Semi-Divine Peak."


    "Demigod? A small Dragon Bone Star Realm, could it have birthed a Demigod adept at soul attacks?" These Demigods from Fire Winter Civilization found it a bit absurd.


    Could it be a native?


    But logically, the natives only had a few at Flying Heaven Level... and if it were the natives, with the terrifying power of a Demigod, they could have directly overwhelmed the War Base, so why bother with such complications?


    Too many things made no sense!


    "How could such a terrifying enemy suddenly emerge?" A Demigod was puzzled.


    "Let''s retreat first."


    "Whatever the case, it shows that a terrifying force is hidden in the shadows of Dragon Bone Star Realm. They only targeted Flying Heaven, not killing First and Second Rank Lives, definitely not because they couldn''t... it''s likely because Flying Heaven can''t retreat and are inherently a threat." A Demigod analyzed, "But if we don''t retreat now, probably all First and Second Rank Lives will be wiped out."


    "Let''s retreat." Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire


    "We''ll slowly investigate, but for now, we need to avoid a huge loss." Quickly, the highest echelons of Fire Winter Civilization reached a consensus.


    Retreat!


    The enemy was too strong; continuing to contest with them on Dragon Bone Star Realm was akin to hurling eggs against rocks.


    ...


    Not only the Fire Winter Civilization, but many Foreign Civilizations that experienced attacks also didn''t realize at first but gradually came to understand the truth over time.


    Naturally, it terrified them.


    The most terrifying was the Dream Sea Civilization, within one of their star realms nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors, excluding four not inside the Main Base, the remaining sixteen had fallen silently.


    A nightmare!


    "Who did this?"


    "Demigod! This must be the work of a Demigod!!"


    "Ordinary Demigods couldn''t achieve this, it must be one extremely proficient in soul attacks." These Foreign Civilizations were both shocked and puzzled.


    However, such incidents are always kept secret.

 Chapter 344 Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_2

    Given the short time span and the fact that most civilizations had only made contact with the Seven Star Civilization, with few bordering each other... therefore, most powers had not yet thought of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But there were exceptions.


    ...


    Fire Hell Civilization.


    "What?"


    Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire


    "There''s another Star Realm where a similar situation has occurred? Most of the Flying Heaven warriors have fallen."


    "The same situation, where they died silently and suddenly? Possible soul annihilation?" These semi-divines at the highest echelons of Fire Hell Civilization were all shaken.


    Their civilization bordered two Star Realms with the Seven Star Civilization.


    Quickly...


    The Fire Hell Civilization found a commonality.


    "The attacks on both realms occurred within a very short interval."


    "Both of these Star Realms are Second Level Star Realms!"


    "Both border the Seven Star Civilization, and previously we have been constantly at war with each other." The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization rapidly grew suspicious of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Could it have been the Seven Star Civilization?


    Otherwise, there''s no explaining why so many Star Realms were unharmed, yet these two faced trouble.


    "If it is the Seven Star Civilization''s doing, how did they do it?"


    "Could it be a demigod? But demigods cannot enter the Second Level Star Realms!"


    "Secret treasures? But then why not slaughter the Flying Heaven warriors?" The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization found the doubts overwhelming.


    "What do you think!"


    "Could it be that the Seven Star Civilization has an incredibly powerful Prime Warrior who can annihilate the souls of Flying Heaven warriors?" One of the semi-divines questioned: "Didn''t we hear that the Seven Star Civilization has a Prime Warrior known as Spirit Gun? It''s said that his strength is formidable, at the level of the Flying Heaven Peak."


    "Spirit Gun indeed has this strength."


    "If it''s a brute force assault, I would believe it."


    "But one of Second Rank, could his soul really have undergone a transformation to the Semi-Divine Level? Impossible! That''s too far-fetched." These semi-divines argued among themselves.


    It wasn''t that they looked down on Spirit Gun.


    But a Prime Warrior with a Semi-Divine Level soul? To the semi-divines, that was utterly fantastical.


    However, as time passed...


    The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization, upon eliminating all other possibilities, realized that this theoretically impossible scenario had the highest probability of being true.


    "Retreat!"


    "First, pull back the First and Second Rank lives." The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization issued the command: "Without Third Rank lives, we can no longer fight against the Seven Star Civilization. If we continue to commit forces... it would simply be a death sentence."


    After ordering the retreat...


    "Begin contacting other civilizations."


    The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization began to mobilize: "Our war with the Seven Star Civilization is on a small scale, after all, it only involves two Second Level Star Realms. If the Seven Star Civilization indeed has such a heaven-defying Prime Warrior, it''s not possible they''d only take action against us."


    "The other civilizations will not escape either."


    "Go ask the Myriad Demons Civilization."


    "The Myriad Demons Civilization has faced the most brutal warfare with the Seven Star Civilization." The higher-ups of Fire Hell Civilization began attempting to make contact with other civilizations.


    ...


    Some Foreign Civilizations had yet to detect the situation, while others, situated in isolation, could only speculate wildly.


    Some Foreign Civilizations were powerful and suffered heavy casualties like Fire Hell Civilization and began to carry out deductive analysis.


    Just as Fire Hell Civilization was about to contact the Myriad Demons Civilization...


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the frontline of Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    ...Mystic Demons Star Realm featured ranges of undulating mountains and unfathomably deep gulfs and oceans.


    This Star Realm was one of the largest Second Level Star Realms between the Seven Star Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    In terms of resource richness, it was no less than the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Over decades, both sides had poured in massive resources... and with the War Fortresses becoming increasingly fortified, the rise of each side''s Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Within the Star Realm, the two civilizations had maintained a standoff, each finding it difficult to overpower the other.


    Today.


    Above the Main Base of the Seven Star Civilization hung several massive Fourth Rank Battleships; within one of the ships gathered dozens of Flying Heaven warriors.


    "Why are so many Flying Heaven warriors suddenly called over today?"


    "Don''t know!"


    "Could a major battle be about to start?"


    "What''s going on?" Many Flying Heaven warriors, including two of the strongest Flying Heaven Peak Experts, were all somewhat perplexed. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They had become permanent residents within the Mystic Demon Civilization and could not return.


    But faced with orders from the highest level of their civilization, these Flying Heaven warriors were resolute in obedience.


    Whoosh!


    Numerous rays of light shot out, converging to form a Phantom.


    "Lant Semi-Divine."


    "Greetings, Semi-Divine." Over fifty Flying Heaven warriors bowed respectfully, many with eyes full of admiration.


    "To gather you here today!"


    "Is to inform you," Lant Semi-Divine spoke gravely, "that today is the day we will completely uproot the Myriad Demon Civilization''s forces within the Mystic Demons Star Realm."


    "What?"


    "Completely uproot the Myriad Demon Civilization''s forces?"


    "This!" The dozens of Flying Heaven warriors present were startled and instinctively incredulous.


    It couldn''t be helped!


    They had been fighting against the Myriad Demons Civilization''s warriors for decades and, even if sometimes gaining the upper hand, had never managed to breach the enemy''s War Bases... those had been reinforced over decades.


    Could Lant Semi-Divine have some method?


    "No need to ask further."


    "Depart immediately, attack! As soon as you reach the Myriad Demons Civilization''s Base, you will understand," Lant Semi-Divine spoke sonorously.


    Until now, he had not revealed anything.


    It couldn''t be helped.


    Just as the Seven Star Civilization could have infiltrated other civilizations, within their own ranks, there could be enemy spies... If word spread widely, the other civilizations would have long since retreated.


    "Yes." Despite the confusion in their hearts, the dozens of Flying Heaven warriors executed the order without hesitation.


    Thunderous rumble~


    Six Fourth Rank Battleships quickly cut through the sky toward the Myriad Demons Civilization''s Main Base.


    The Main Bases of the two major civilizations were less than three thousand kilometers apart.

 Chapter 344 Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_3

    Traveling at the speed of a Fourth Rank Battleship, the assault was incredibly swift... but the huge commotion they caused was also swiftly detected by the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization naturally closely monitored the area around their Main Base.


    But suddenly!


    The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization were horrified to discover... that many of the dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors within the vast base had silently perished.


    "How is this possible?"


    "What''s happening?" These four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were all bewildered. What was going on?


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had treasures similar to Life Crystals, but such treasures were extremely precious.


    It was impossible for every Flying Heaven Warrior to possess one.


    Only some extremely important First Rank and Second Rank prodigies, in addition to the Flying Heaven Peak Experts, were allowed to refine such a prodigy''s Life Crystal.


    And under the cover of Li Yuan''s Divine Sense, coupled with the "Divine Palace Exploration," the killings were selective.


    Only targeting those at level 30, level 31, and those who were in seclusion within a Quiet Chamber.


    So, after slaughtering more than a dozen Flying Heaven Experts, the Myriad Demons Civilization side didn''t even notice.


    However, there were no longer such opportunities.


    "Fast!"


    "Inaudibly and imperceptibly, it''s definitely a soul slaughter! It''s a Demigod secretly carrying out a Soul Slaughter."


    "Definitely a Demigod." The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts quickly concluded and immediately panicked.


    A Demigod could have a Semi-Divine Level Soul, which was almost an iron law.


    "It must be Bo De''an from the Seven Star Civilization. Someone among them has become a Demigod."


    "So ruthless."


    "Silent, and suddenly a Demigod has emerged, even covertly attacking us."


    "Demigod! Indefensible."


    "It''s over!"


    "Run, we can only run, fleeing deep into the earth, there might still be hope to avoid the chase." The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts decided to flee in an instant while reporting the news.


    Run!


    They were all scared stiff. There was no helping it, the deterrence of a Demigod was too great.


    War Fortress? A joke in front of a Demigod.


    A Demigod was absolutely supreme over Flying Heaven Level. Even the most ordinary Demigod could kill a Flying Heaven Peak Expert with one move.


    That was the gap.


    Therefore, facing the suspected existence of a Demigod Expert, these four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were completely chilled to the bone.


    "Run!"


    "Run quickly."


    "While the Demigod hasn''t begun a mass slaughter, if we all run together, perhaps a few can escape." The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts turned into streaks of light, fleeing wildly through the passages within the War Fortress.


    "What?"


    "Demigod?" The remaining dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors also panicked completely and immediately fled.


    ...


    "What?"


    "A Demigod has emerged in the Mystic Demons Star Realm from the Seven Star Civilization?" The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization received the news promptly and were greatly shocked.


    In a Second Level Star Realm, once a Demigod emerged, they would be absolutely invincible.


    "What''s going on?"


    "How could a Demigod emerge? Is the situation false? Bo De''an and the others have cultivated for nearly a hundred years, only to become Flying Heaven Peak. How could they become a Demigod so quickly?" The upper echelons of the Myriad Demons Civilization were suspicious.


    It was simply too strange.


    Quickly!


    "It''s the Spirit Gun!"


    "It''s the Spirit Gun!! The one slaughtering us is the Spirit Gun."


    "They''re all dead!"


    "All of them are dead."


    "He''s still a Prime Warrior, hasn''t broken through yet."


    "The Spirit Gun has a Semi-Divine Level Soul!!" The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization quickly received this shocking news.


    What is this?


    Spirit Gun?


    Wasn''t that freak Prime Warrior from the Seven Star Civilization already over fifty years old? How could he have not broken through yet?


    Keep in mind, in these years, the Spirit Gun had never made a move, leading many from the Myriad Demons Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, Immortal Ruins Civilization, and many other Foreign Civilizations to speculate that the Spirit Gun had already broken through.


    But now!


    Not only had the Spirit Gun not broken through, he had even come to the Mystic Demons Star Realm and possessed a Semi-Divine Level Soul?


    A Prime Warrior with a Semi-Divine Level Soul? These Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization felt a tremor in their hearts.


    How is that possible!


    "Report to the Divine at once."


    "Quickly report to the Eastern Demon Deity." These Demigods didn''t dare delay, this matter was not for them to decide.


    ...


    Within the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    "They''ve started to run directly?"


    "They''ve noticed?"


    "Was it me who frightened them?" Li Yuan, who was cloaked in his aura and remained at the edge of the War Fortress, executing soul slaughter attacks, suddenly noticed that the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization had started fleeing.


    Especially those four Flying Heaven Peak Experts, who had begun to flee separately.


    Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    You must know, Li Yuan''s Divine Sense covered a radius of ten kilometers, an absolute range of perception.


    Unless it was a Divine, none could hide from Li Yuan''s Inquiry.


    Ten kilometers might sound small, but most War Fortresses could hardly exceed ten kilometers in diameter.


    In short, most of the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization had always been under the cover of Li Yuan''s Divine Sense.


    And the range of the Divine Sense was where Li Yuan''s Soul Attack could reach.


    That was just the direct Inquiry range of the Divine Sense; the soul perception range was much broader... If there was an intense fluctuation of the Power of Heaven and Earth, even thousands of kilometers away, Li Yuan could faintly sense it.


    "The other Flying Heaven Warriors don''t matter."


    "Letting them run will let the other Flying Heaven Warriors pursue at their leisure."


    "These four big fish, they cannot be allowed to escape."


    "If they escape, how can my Seven Star Civilization peacefully conquer the Mystic Demons Star Realm?" No longer concealing his aura, Li Yuan soared into the sky, roaring towards one of the fleeing Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    It was precisely this outburst of aura that made the Myriad Demons Civilization''s War Fortress Inquiry system instantaneously lock on to Li Yuan.


    Exposing his whereabouts and identity.

 Chapter 344 Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_4

    Among the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization, shock was quickly followed by an immediate reporting up the chain.


    However, in a moment of exposure,


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!" Li Yuan lost control, his previously concealed Semi-Divine Level Soul fully erupted.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ In an instant, dozens of soul fluctuations radiated out from Li Yuan, slicing through the Vast Sky, directly attacking the minds of those dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    In an instant, he attacked over thirty Flying Heaven Warriors at the same time.


    Soul Attack, formless and invisible.


    It couldn''t be obstructed by ordinary things like metal or soil, and even Pseudo-God Level Combat Armor was mostly ineffective.


    This was also why Soul-guarding Treasures were so precious.


    "Ah!!"


    "No!"


    "I¡­" The dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors fleeing through the fortress passages each looked as if struck by lightning, their eyes filled with terror.


    Silently.


    Thump~ Thump! Thump!! One after another, the Flying Heaven Warriors slammed into the walls while flying at high speeds.


    A few who had flown out of the War Fortress plummeted down. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire


    "What?"


    "This?"


    "The inquiry system, vital signs, dissipated." Inside the War Fortress, the many Prime Warriors engaged in monitoring were completely baffled.


    The battle had come too swiftly, and the Prime Warriors had no time to react.


    They saw many Flying Heaven Warriors taking actions, only to immediately see these warriors fall to the ground.


    Vital signs dissipated.


    Die! Die! Die! In almost a blink, more than twenty Flying Heaven Warriors had fallen to Li Yuan''s soul attack.


    "Are they all dead?"


    "So many dead?"


    "It''s the Spirit Gun! That soul attack came from his direction, carrying his aura." Those four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were both shocked and horrified.


    They were shocked by Li Yuan''s formidable power and filled with dread.


    Could a Prime Warrior be this strong?


    "Are there eleven who survived?" Li Yuan felt waves of fatigue in his mind; such a widespread soul attack required a significant drain of soul power.


    He also felt somewhat unsatisfied: "It seems that in a widespread soul attack, the might is greatly weakened."


    To withstand a Soul Attack?


    One depends on soul strength, another on willpower, and the third is whether one has cultivated a Soul Defense Secret Technique.


    Willpower equates to the ''skill'' of the soul.


    With the same Soul Cultivation Level, the stronger the will, the greater the might that can be exerted.


    Those whose souls Li Yuan instantly annihilated were almost all level 30, 31.


    But those slightly stronger could survive such a widespread soul attack. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    That was why Li Yuan preferred to stealthily attack each one individually.


    A widespread attack was too imprecise.


    Only in isolated attacks could a soul attack unleash its greatest might, like against ''Tao Hai'' from the Dragon Bone Star Realm, who, even at level 33, would die facing Li Yuan''s multiple soul attacks.


    "Annihilate!"


    Li Yuan, not minding his exhaustion, shifted his thoughts, and another widespread soul attack descended.


    This time the targets were dozens of other Flying Heaven Warriors, almost all of them Initial Rank strong.


    Kill the ones that could be killed.


    "Spurt~"


    "Boom~"


    "Huff!" Nearly thirty Initial Rank Flying Heaven Warriors, each showing a face of terror, followed by their soul essences suddenly dispersing.


    In an instant!


    Another nearly thirty Flying Heaven Warriors were annihilated, a scene that made all remaining powerhouses of the Myriad Demons Civilization tremble.


    So terrifying?


    But at the same time, the four Flying Heaven Peak Experts nearly all had a thought emerge in their minds¡ª should they kill Li Yuan?

 Chapter 345 Slaughtered to near extinction

    The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts thinking this way was normal.


    Previously, they believed it was a Demigod attacking, so the material attack must also be at the Demigod level; they couldn''t block it no matter what.


    But the four of them sensed the source of the soul attack fluctuations and could confirm it was the Spirit Gun emitting the soul attack.


    And the aura of the Spirit Gun was indeed that of a Prime Warrior.


    Even if a Prime Warrior defied the heavens, even if their soul attack was terrifying, their material attack absolutely couldn''t reach the Semi-Divine Level.


    Not even if they stepped into the Threshold of the Law with their Law Comprehension.


    Even if it were a Prime Warrior at the limit of the strongest Body Refining Art, fundamentally, they were still a thousand times weaker than a Demigod.


    "He''s attacking us covertly, which proves he''s not confident about facing us head-on."


    "His soul attack can''t eradicate us either."


    "Comprehension of True Intent, the further you cultivate it, the slower it goes. Even after several years, he might not have reached the Semi-Divine Level... might not be comparable to level 36."


    "The four of us joining hands should stand a chance to defeat him."


    "We''re not like those native Beast Kings from the Mingxu Star Realm." The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts communicated extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, they made the decision¡ªkill!


    In fact, they all understood that since Spirit Gun dared to come, he must have had some confidence.


    But!


    If the Seven Star Civilization''s grand army was about to attack, and if they fled the War Fortress, then the War Fortress would undoubtedly fall... Even if they escaped, they couldn''t return to the Myriad Demons Civilization and could only hide everywhere within the Mystic Demon Civilization.


    If they held the War Fortress?


    Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors and Prime Warriors would be swiftly killed by Li Yuan using soul attacks, and in the end, only a few of them, the bare commanders, would be left, unable to hold on just the same.


    But if they could quickly kill Spirit Gun, then even if most Flying Heaven Warriors had already fallen... relying on the sturdiness of the War Fortress, they might still hope to withstand the impact of the Seven Star Civilization''s grand army.


    Spirit Gun was the biggest threat!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts, who were still fleeing, abruptly stopped and transformed into four streaks of light, attacking Li Yuan like lightning.


    Buzz~ One of the figures, clad in blood armor, became blurry as soon as it moved, as if it had vanished into space.


    "Turn back and engage proactively."


    "Are they coming to kill me?" Li Yuan''s eyes were icy cold; having just slaughtered dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors, he was in a surge of murderous intent. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Killing many Star Realm natives, even though he obtained a large amount of Spirituality Nourishment, didn''t bring much joy to Li Yuan''s heart.


    Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    But killing the strong from the Myriad Demons Civilization? Li Yuan only felt exhilarated, eager to kill even more.


    To extinguish them all would be best!!


    Now, as they turned back to him, nothing could please Li Yuan more.


    Boom! Li Yuan''s body instantly became five meters tall, already employing the ''All Things Divine Body''.


    He emanated a hazy divine light, and his speed surged even faster, covering two kilometers in a second, closing in on the nearest silver-armored figure.


    "Pity, I scrubbed off the Escaping Method Star Technique, otherwise, with my comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind, my flying speed could also reach ten times the speed of sound, which would be considered fast even among Flying Heaven Peak Experts." Li Yuan''s gaze was fixed on his adversary, clutching tightly the Black Chen Spear.


    It had been several years since he''d experienced a life-and-death struggle.


    Level 35 powerhouses from the Myriad Demons Civilization were not those simple Star Realm natives...


    "Spirit Gun."


    The burly man in silver armor suddenly roared, his body likewise growing to a height of five meters, his aura skyrocketing as he wielded an absurdly large Battle Axe: "Die!!"


    Whoosh~


    The Battle Axe was lifted high as if to split a mountain, furiously chopping down.


    "Take my spear!" Li Yuan''s cold voice echoed through the Vast Sky, subverting the void, and around him, the heavens and the earth mobilized numerous azure and earth-yellow flows. His Vigor completely erupted as well, reaching peak might, with the Long Spear thrusting straight forward!


    Whoosh~


    This thrust pierced through the void, invoking both Wind and Earth True Intents, combining speed and force.


    "Huh? What''s happening? Wasn''t I fighting?" An invisible soul fluctuation infiltrated the silver-armored man''s mind, causing his consciousness to falter, and the assaulting Spear Light before his eyes to blur, as if plunging into the Abyss.


    It was as if he''d fallen into layers upon layers of dreams.


    Soul Secret Technique "Mind Soul"!


    "No, it''s another Soul Secret Technique, wake up! Wake up!" The silver-armored man roared in his mind, his consciousness desperately struggling, but inevitably, his control over his body was rapidly declining.


    To wield great power required the soul!


    But now, most of the silver-armored man''s Mental Consciousness was resisting Li Yuan''s soul attack, the soul power for executing the Axe Technique naturally weakened substantially...


    "Boom!" The Long Spear and Battle Axe collided fiercely.


    The silver-armored man had cultivated the Fifth Layer Body Refining Art, and his True Intent Comprehension was also at Sixth Stage High Rank. Even if his soul was greatly affected, the might of this axe was incredibly formidable.


    But Li Yuan''s strike, although not using the Nine Shadows Clone, didn''t hold back at all in this frontal attack.


    "Peng~"


    The silver-armored man felt an overwhelming force sweeping over him, his body trembling as he spat out blood, his palm split open and drenched in blood, nearly unable to hold onto the Battle Axe, his entire figure flying backwards like a shooting star.


    "Is he really that strong? He''s definitely comparable to a level 36 Star Master."


    "A Prime Warrior, can he truly unleash such power? Impossible!!" The silver-armored man finally woke up from the Soul Secret Technique, his heart filled with terror.


    Terrifying!


    Just one exchange had driven him to complete despair.


    What he didn''t know was that Li Yuan, melding the Mysteries of Earth and Wind True Intents, had refined his Spear Technique to an intricacy nearly at the Seventh Stage.


    It could be said that the intricacies of many Demigods'' maneuvers were not as profound as Li Yuan''s.

 Chapter 345 Slaughtered to near extinction_2

    "Run!" the Silver Armored Strongman had given up resisting, but just as he thought of escaping,


    he felt an invisible soul power attack him, once again blurring his consciousness.


    "Again?" The Silver Armored Strongman roared in his heart. Despite being prepared, he couldn''t fend off this kind of soul invasion


    ¡ªit was even worse than before; his eyes started to look vacant.


    "Whoosh!"


    Yet another terrifying spear light swept across the vast sky, this time, without any battle axes to block it, it brutally swept across the body of the Silver Armored Strongman, the tremendous impact immensely worsened his injuries.


    Just as Li Yuan was about to kill him with one strike,


    "Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!" the quiet void suddenly pierced out six rays of sword light, revealing six identical figures in Blood Robes.


    "Shadow Clones? Suoduohe, I''ve been waiting for you!" Li Yuan glanced at him, his gaze icy cold


    Suoduohe, one of the most terrifying among the four Flying Heaven Peak Experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization. His practiced Star Techniques were similar to those of ''Lude Nef,'' also focusing on stealth and assassination.


    Unfortunately!


    His stealth techniques, in front of Li Yuan, seemed rather amateurish.


    On one hand, Li Yuan had a high level of comprehension of True Intent, and on the other, his Divine Sense was extremely strong, enabling him to easily pinpoint the real body of Suoduohe.


    This was the disadvantage of the Shadow Clones, once the real body was identified, more than 80% of the might of this Star Technique would disappear.


    Boom boom boom boom!


    Li Yuan instantly split into nine, each clone holding a long spear, emitting a terrifying aura, making it impossible for the present Flying Heaven Warriors to distinguish the real from the fakes.


    The Seventh Layers Star Technique "Nine Shadows Clone."


    "Whir! Whir! Whir!" All nine Li Yuans burst forth simultaneously, Li Yuan''s real body emitted a might that touched the sky, and though the other eight clones had only 20% of his original strength, their weapons were also formidable.


    Although the Star Technique was still at the Second Rank Limit.


    But Li Yuan''s comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind, far exceeded the time during the great battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, with nine spear lights subtly forming a very special combat formation, it was as if a first layer of heaven and earth pressed down.


    Puff~ Puff~ Puff~


    A series of spear lights swept across, penetrating those Blood Robe figures, Suoduohe''s six illusionary bodies instantly were destroyed five times... Eventually, the nine spear lights bizarrely charged towards a point in the void.


    That point, was precisely where Suoduohe''s real body was!


    "No!!" Suoduohe''s eyes widened.


    "Boom~" The convergence of nine spear lights was Li Yuan''s strongest strike now, making Suoduohe''s body explosively burst open, blood flying everywhere.


    "Not cultivating in Body Refining Star Technique, life force indeed weak," Li Yuan''s gaze was icy cold.


    The most fearful aspect of Suoduohe was his stealth and shadow clones... once these were ineffective, his threat in Li Yuan''s eyes was actually the weakest among the four.


    Boom!


    After obliterating Suoduohe in one encounter, Li Yuan rapidly swooped towards the still-fleeing Silver Armored Strongman.


    "It''s over." The Silver Armored Strongman''s body, under the action of Origin Power, had significantly recovered.


    But his heart grew even more desperate.


    "Run!"


    "Hurry." The other two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, witnessing the death scene of Suoduohe, were completely terrified and turned to flee madly like crazy.


    "Clang!"


    "Whir whir whir!" Accompanied by nine dazzling spear lights consecutively sweeping past, one of the spear lights completely pierced through the chest of the Silver Armored Strongman, his front combat armor shattered.


    His heart shattered too.


    Previously, Li Yuan worried about scaring away Suoduohe and hadn''t unleashed his full strength, now he naturally showed no mercy.


    "Ahhh!" The Silver Armored Strongman gritted his teeth, trying to trigger his Origin Pill to self-destruct.


    The Origin Pill, as the source of Origin Power, could be detonated by the martial artist if they wished... only, it usually required time.


    "Puff!"


    Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    Another spear light swept across, the Black Chen Spear directly penetrated the Silver Armored Strongman''s body, closely followed by long spear movements that instantly shattered the Origin Pill in his stomach.


    Dead!


    "So long just to kill, the vitality was quite strong, in terms of strength much stronger than Wang Ling in those years." Li Yuan''s gaze was icy cold; these two were the strongest experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    He flicked his hand, gathering all the treasures of the Silver Armored Strongman, his gaze sweeping through the two still dispersing and fleeing in the distance.


    Rumble rumble~ one of them had even escaped out of Li Yuan''s Divine Sense range, diving directly into the earth.


    "Must kill them all."


    Li Yuan''s thought moved, and another vast range of soul attack spread out, targeting the War Fortress, where those utterly terrified ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors... Puff! Puff! Puff! Another dozen or so Flying Heaven Warriors silently fell.


    Boom! Li Yuan pursued one of them.


    Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, under full speed burst, reaching speeds over eight times the speed of sound, was not difficult.


    Simultaneously, a streak of green light shot from Li Yuan''s arm, directly drilling into the depths of the earth.


    ...


    Several Fourth Rank Battleships of the Seven Star Civilization had not fully approached yet, but using their technological instruments, they could already see the scene above the War Fortress.


    "This?"


    "He killed them all in the blink of an eye!"


    "Suoduohe is dead! Ji Qi is dead! Is this the power of the Spirit Gun?"


    "Compared to a few years ago, his strength has increased immensely." Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors were all shocked, completely stunned.


    Then, they felt overwhelming joy in their hearts.


    With such a powerful ally, the Seven Star Civilization conquering the Mystic Demons Civilization was entirely foreseeable.


    "Quick!"


    "Charge through and break the War Fortress," the leader in the black robe urged.


    "Shefei is also dead!"


    "Three of the four major threats are gone." Through the projection, they saw the scene where Li Yuan killed the third Flying Heaven Peak Warrior.


    "It''s a pity that one escaped."


    "The Spirit Gun is fast, but it doesn''t overwhelmingly outpace other Flying Heaven Peak Warriors."


    "To have killed three is already insane."


    ...


    In the void, Li Yuan hovered in place.


    Underneath him, there were many dismembered limbs and flesh, belonging to another Flying Heaven Peak Expert he had just killed.


    "Indeed, the Myriad Demons Civilization has quite a few treasures." Li Yuan casually picked up the opponent''s Storage Treasure and began to inquire into it.


    It held much more than those native to Flying Heaven.


    "Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, I should be able to kill all of them, and I''ve also killed most of the other Flying Heaven Warriors." Li Yuan''s cold gaze swept over the distant area and the massive War Fortress: "The remaining forces... the army should be able to clean them up."


    Li Yuan did not intend to finish all the tasks himself.


    It was too time-consuming.


    And to erase so many First Rank and Second Rank lives with soul attacks... Li Yuan feared he wouldn''t be able to perform soul attacks for a while.


    "Let''s go!"


    Li Yuan soared into the sky, his figure surrounded by twisting light, already disappeared into the void.


    ...


    The Myriad Demons Civilization possessed several dozen Life Planets.


    A Life Planet often represented a ''Divine State.''


    Night Peak Divine State, located at the Night Peak Planet, served as the entry and exit point of the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    Additionally, most of the Myriad Demons Civilization''s strength in the Mystic Demons Star Realm came from the Night Peak Divine State.


    Night Peak Divine State, with its history, once birthed a divine being... The Divine had long passed away, but the legacy left behind enabled the entire Divine State to have nearly twenty Demigods.


    Today, in the highest holy site of the Divine State, ''Night Peak Divine Temple'', three guarding Demigods were all shocked while watching the scene revealed through the projection in the center of the temple.


    "Semi-Divine Level Soul!"


    "To be able to kill a Flying Heaven Peak so easily in direct combat, how strong must his Spear Technique be?" a long-haired man said somberly, "I fear that his profundity in Spear Technique is comparable to ours, it''s terrifying."


    "This has only been a few years?"


    "Such little time, the East Demon Demigod has yet to respond."


    "The progression of Spirit Gun''s strength is simply beyond comprehension, especially since his base remains at the Second Rank." The three Demigods were slightly dazed, as Spirit Gun''s strength surpassed their imagination and understanding.


    Not to mention the present, even throughout the lengthy years of the Myriad Demons Civilization, there had been no precedent.


    "Tennessee, you must flee quickly."


    "The Spirit Gun can''t possibly stay here forever." The golden-haired female Demigod spoke somberly: "As long as you hide... once Spirit Gun leaves, there is still a chance, the Mystic Demons Star Realm is immense."


    "Yes, Demigod," the central phantom said solemnly. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Tennessee, the only remaining Flying Heaven Peak Expert, fled into the depths of the Earth in the first instance.


    The depths of the Earth could obstruct vision.


    "I have temporarily evaded the pursuit of Spirit Gun, it seems he did not follow." Tennessee continued as his true body was fleeing rapidly.


    This slightly eased the minds of the three Demigods, relieved that not everyone was killed and one Flying Heaven Peak Warrior was left, which was significant.


    Suddenly.


    "No!!" Tennessee''s phantom suddenly burst forth with a low roar, filled with terror: "It''s..."


    A splat¡ª


    The phantom instantly dissipated! Fallen!


    The three Demigods were astonished.


    Snake? What snake?

 Chapter 1 - 1 Li Yuan

    Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Li Yuan


    Seven Stars Calendar, September 2042, Xia Country, Jiangbei Province, Jiang City.


    A city known as the furnace, where most of the year is winter or summer, and early September is the hot season.


    Guan Mountain District¡¯s Number One High School.


    In each classroom of the senior high building, similar banners hung behind the blackboard: ¡°No fight, no survival in third year,¡± ¡°Struggle for one year, have no regrets for life,¡± ¡°No toughness in third year, how can you stand firm?¡±¡­


    And one classroom on the first floor to the east was exceptionally large, nearly a thousand square meters. Unlike ordinary classrooms, there were no desks or chairs; one side was lined with swords, spears, sabers, staffs, and many other cold weapons, while the other side was fitted with various special instruments, as well as a track paved with dark red metal.


    This is the Martial Arts classroom.


    ...


    At this moment, over a hundred students are practicing standing postures, each performing different movements.


    Some resemble monkeys, others are like flying birds, some appear tiger-like¡­ their vitality and spirit are exceptionally strong.


    ¡°It originates from the feet, activated through the legs, governed by the waist, uniting the force of the hundred skeletons into the fingertips¡­¡± a burly middle-aged man in a black Martial Path uniform walked among the students.


    His face was stern, nearly two meters tall, with a voice like a bell and eyes like a fierce tiger, scrutinizing every student.


    What drew the most attention was his right arm, which was actually a silver metallic limb that could move as naturally as a real arm, perfectly integrated with the severed limb.


    ¡°In theory, these are the key points of the Basic Cultivation Method that you should¡¯ve mastered in your second year, but what do I see? Your postures are still sloppy in the third year,¡± the burly man scolded angrily as he walked, and a casual slap from his metal arm would knock a sweat-drenched student to the ground: ¡°If the stance is stable, the center of gravity will be difficult to shift, and the Basic Cultivation Method is the foundation of Martial Path!¡±


    ¡°One day¡¯s practice for one day¡¯s worth of skill, miss a day of practice and you¡¯re a hundred days behind; I bet you all completely relaxed during the half-month summer vacation and didn¡¯t practice at home.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re in third year and still thinking about relaxing? You¡¯re ordinary class students without awakened Spiritual Nature; if you don¡¯t work hard, how will you be admitted to Martial Arts University?¡±


    ¡°Even if you¡¯re not aiming for the Martial Arts University, taking the cultural route, martial arts scores still account for 30%¡­¡± the burly man kept berating.


    Yet the group of students didn¡¯t dare to breathe heavily, practicing with even more dedication.


    ¡°Report.¡±


    ¡°Report.¡± A series of similar voices suddenly echoed at the classroom door as a group of students in Martial Path uniforms appeared at the entrance.


    ¡°Group Two back from the Spiritual Aptitude Test?¡± the burly man glanced toward the doorway.


    Immediately, the burly man¡¯s sharp gaze fell on one of the students.


    This student was nearly one meter eighty tall with a buzz cut. At first glance, he didn¡¯t seem too extraordinary, but upon closer inspection, one could see he stood straight, with a spine that was almost perfectly aligned, exuding an unshakable presence with a casual stance.


    Clearly, this student had integrated the ¡®carry the head suspended from above, sink the tailbone¡¯ principle of the Basic Cultivation Method into his everyday movements.


    He truly achieved the state where intention leads and spirit conveys.


    This level of understanding of the Martial Arts Realm surpassed all other students practicing postures in the classroom.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how did it go?¡± the burly man looked at him.


    The nearly hundred students practicing posture couldn¡¯t help but sneak glances at the student named Li Yuan. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Teacher Xu, I didn¡¯t awaken,¡± Li Yuan replied calmly, shaking his head without showing disappointment.


    The burly man frowned upon hearing this.


    Li Yuan was the most promising student in his class to awaken Martial Spirit.


    ¡°Li Yuan couldn¡¯t succeed?¡±


    ¡°At the end of the second year¡¯s exams, his martial arts score was in the top thirty of his grade. His Physical Quality had already reached level 6 at that time, and now must be even stronger, yet he still hasn¡¯t awakened Martial Spirit?¡±


    ¡°Awakening Martial Spirit, it¡¯s really difficult!¡± The nearly hundred practicing students couldn¡¯t help feeling privately shocked.


    Nowadays, across the whole Xia Country and even the entire Blue Star, talent is selected in two ways¡ªacademic courses and Martial Arts Cultivation.


    And all students have been taught Basic Cultivation Methods by the state and practice martial arts from middle school onwards.


    At Guan Mountain District Number One High School, there are over two thousand students in the third-year grade, spread out across twenty classes.


    But there¡¯s only one Martial Arts Elite Class; all the others are ordinary classes.


    The Martial Arts Elite Class has more than sixty students, all of whom have awakened Martial Spirit, and often the top fifty martial arts scores in the grade are held by them.


    For Li Yuan to make it into the top thirty in martial arts in an ordinary class was indeed surprising.


    ¡°What about the others? Did anyone awaken their Spiritual Nature?¡± the burly man swept his gaze over the rest.


    Silence ensued.


    ¡°Come on in,¡± the burly man said, unfazed.


    In truth, most who would awaken their Martial Spirit often did so in their first year of high school, if not earlier, in middle school.


    Awakening in the third year? The chances were very slim!


    The burly man had only held hopes for Li Yuan, and with a wave of his hand he instructed: ¡°Group Three, go to the Martial Arts Building for the Spiritual Aptitude Test.¡±


    Boom~


    One row of students practicing posture, their legs already sore and feet in pain, quickly got up at these words and rushed out of the classroom.


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan and his group had returned to their spots to continue their practice.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, Teacher Xu seems a bit disappointed,¡± muttered Li Yuan¡¯s classmate with a short goatee, looking quite mature: ¡°But you, Brother Yuan, you don¡¯t seem saddened at all by the results of the Spiritual Aptitude Test.¡±


    ¡°Stop it.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue training; practicing the basic method for four hours a day is a fundamental requirement.¡± Li Yuan said indifferently, foreseeing the outcome and feeling no disappointment.


    ¡°Four hours?¡± The mature-looking classmate mumbled, ¡°No wonder you¡¯re the second-record-holder in our class.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and no longer engaged with his classmate, closed his eyes gently, stood in his place, knees slightly bent, and his presence changed immediately, resembling a boulder, and the unshakable air about him grew stronger.

 Chapter 2 - 1 Li Yuan_2

    Chapter 2: Chapter 1 Li Yuan_2


    ¡°Solid Rock Cultivation Technique.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind conjured up the many actions of this cultivation method.


    He had practiced these actions tens of thousands of times, mastering them by heart.


    In this era, the Martial Path was prevalently practiced.


    The Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods, publicly disclosed by the Seven Star Alliance to all citizens of the Seven Great Planets, had no hierarchy of quality, only suitability.


    Whether they be rich and powerful or commoners, anyone who practiced martial arts started with the Basic Cultivation Method.


    The ¡°Solid Rock Cultivation Technique¡± was precisely the method Li Yuan had chosen.


    ...


    He had been cultivating it for over five years.


    Each Basic Cultivation Method could greatly stimulate the potential of the human body, continuously enhance physical quality, and even fully awaken Spiritual Nature.


    Not to mention Li Yuan¡¯s Physical Quality had not yet reached the 7th level.


    Even Martial Artists whose Physical Quality had surpassed the 9th level and reached the Entry Rank would continuously practice the Basic Cultivation Methods.


    ¡°Huf!¡±


    ¡°Huf!¡±


    Each Basic Cultivation Method consisted of thirty-six training movements, accompanied by an exclusive Breathing Technique.


    Li Yuan¡¯s breathing was sometimes rapid, sometimes prolonged, coordinating with his limbs¡¯ movements, causing a faint sound to emerge from within his body.


    Muscles and bones resonating in unison!


    ¡°That feels great.¡± Li Yuan immersed himself in this training.


    He could feel every muscle and bone in his body being stimulated and becoming stronger.


    This was the evolution of life.


    In this era, ordinary youths all had the potential to break the century-old sprint world records.


    And they did it with Cultivation Methods.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, the last semester-end assessment didn¡¯t get me into the top twenty of my grade. Otherwise, besides the five thousand in scholarship money, I would have gained some Qi and Blood Elixirs this term.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts drifted, ¡°With more Qi and Blood Elixirs, my Physical Quality would progress faster, and it would alleviate some of the financial pressure on my uncle and auntie.¡±


    Li Yuan was an orphan; it was his uncle and auntie who raised him.


    His uncle was a state enterprise employee, while his auntie was a middle school teacher.


    In theory, such a family would not be rich, but it should be more than comfortable. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But Li Yuan had been frail and sickly since childhood, and to treat his illnesses, his uncle and auntie had spent a lot of money.


    Likewise, on the recommendation of a doctor, from junior high onwards, they invested heavily in Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Cultivation, even more than they spent on their own children.


    Fortunately.


    Li Yuan had a good talent, and his cultivation was diligent. He passed the middle school entrance exam and got into Guan Mountain District¡¯s top high school, improving his academic performance even further after entering high school, and by his second year, he had entered the top hundred of his grade and closed the semester-end assessment within the top thirty.


    This brought great joy to his uncle and auntie.


    However, Martial Arts Cultivation requieres talent and even more so, money.


    Especially since his Physical Quality had reached the 6th level, the food from the Star Realm needed to increase Physical Quality, the medicinal elixirs to supplement Qi and Blood, medicated diets, special equipment, and so on, all were like money pits.


    When compared with other students in the top thirty of his grade, Li Yuan¡¯s external conditions were quite ordinary, or even it could be said they were poor.


    Yet in his heart, Li Yuan understood that his uncle and auntie were already doing their best to support him.


    He still had younger brothers and sisters at home, and he couldn¡¯t ask for more.


    ¡°But, six times now,¡±


    ¡°Since the first year of junior high, every annual Spiritual Nature test, I¡¯ve failed.¡± Li Yuan contemplated, ¡°If the Spiritual Nature within me could awaken, I¡¯d get a 10% bonus on my exam scores, and I could easily break into the top ten of my grade.¡±


    ¡°With an awakened Martial Spirit, I¡¯d also receive a national subsidy.¡±


    Whether one has awakened their Martial Spirit.


    Across the entirety of Blue Star and even among the Seven Great Planets, it was the most important indicator for assessing one¡¯s Martial Path talent, without exception.


    Yet, Li Yuan had never managed to awaken his Martial Spirit.


    ¡°Over the years, the number of students from our school who got into the top five prestigious institutions has never exceeded five.¡± Li Yuan silently reflected, ¡°With my current performance, getting into a normal Martial Arts University wouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡±


    ¡°But to get into one of the top five institutions, without awakening my Spiritual Nature, the chances are extremely slim.¡±


    The population of Xia Country was nearly two billion, with twenty-four provinces, each having a Martial Arts University that only enrolled students from within the province¡ªthese were the targets for most students aspiring to the Martial Path.


    However, the top five institutions, established by Xia Country, are the prestigious Martial Arts Universities that enroll students on a national scale.


    In normal Martial Arts Universities, although the students receive considerable cultivation resources, much still depends on themselves.


    But students at one of the top five Martial Arts Universities, each one, would receive extensive resources from the country.


    ¡°With national resources for cultivation, my Martial Path can go much further, and someday I¡¯ll become an Entry Rank Martial Artist like Teacher Xu, or even stronger than him,¡± Li Yuan silently vowed.


    His goal for the college entrance exam was one of the top five prestigious institutions.


    However, the top five Martial Arts Universities also had extremely high score requirements.


    ¡°One step at a time, there are still nine months until the college entrance exam.¡± Li Yuan quietly practiced, with fewer and fewer extraneous thoughts in his mind.


    ¡­


    Soon after, waves of noise came from outside the classroom; over a dozen students from the third group returned to the classroom door, their faces all bearing a trace of excitement.


    ¡°Teacher Xu, Wan Xiao has awakened his Spiritual Nature.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Xu¡­¡± Before the husky man could inquire, many students couldn¡¯t help but blurt out.


    The classroom immediately erupted into commotion.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, he¡¯s awakened his Martial Spirit?¡±


    ¡°Is he going to the Elite Class now?¡±


    ¡°Students in the Elite Class, I heard they can start practicing High Rank Cultivation Methods earlier.¡± Most classmates couldn¡¯t help but show envious looks.


    Only with an awakened Martial Spirit can one enter the Elite Class.


    Otherwise, even if someone like Li Yuan made it into the top thirty of his grade, he would still have to stay in a regular class.


    ¡°Wan Xiao?¡± Li Yuan opened his eyes, involuntarily looking toward the tall and husky figure at the classroom door with a slightly flushed face.


    He was nearly one meter ninety tall, with an extremely burly figure, resembling a bear, with astonishingly thick arms, but his face still bore traces of youthfulness.

 Chapter 3 - 1 Li Yuan_3

    Chapter 3: Chapter 1 Li Yuan_3


    He was the only student in the class, aside from Li Yuan, whose martial arts scores were in the top hundred of the grade¡ªWan Xiao.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± called out an excited Wan Xiao, seemingly catching Li Yuan¡¯s gaze, he looked over at Li Yuan and smiled.


    Li Yuan smiled back.


    In terms of martial arts scores, Li Yuan was better than Wan Xiao.


    In terms of family background, Wan Xiao was much better off.


    As the top two performing students in class, Li Yuan and Wan Xiao seemed to often compete for scholarships, but their relationship was actually quite good.


    ...


    The friendship between classmates is often very pure.


    ¡°Damn! Brother Yuan, you didn¡¯t awaken, but that Wan Dumb Bear did¡ªit¡¯s just dumb luck,¡± muttered the mature-looking boy standing next to Li Yuan, ¡°With that, his martial arts scores, with the spiritual nature bonus, are almost catching up to yours, Brother Yuan.¡±


    Wan Xiao¡¯s nickname was Dumb Bear.


    Li Yuan whispered with a laugh, ¡°Old Zhou, are you jealous?¡±


    The boy speaking was named Zhou Qi, nicknamed ¡®Old Zhou¡¯ because of his abundant body hair and mature appearance.


    He had been Li Yuan¡¯s classmate since junior high, and they had both tested into Guan Mountain First High School, ending up in the same class.


    After five or six years, they were akin to good brothers.


    ¡°Jealous my ass,¡± Zhou Qi muttered, ¡°My cultural course grades are good enough for a key university. As for martial arts classes, they¡¯re mainly for building physical strength, can¡¯t be a wimp forever, can¡¯t fall behind even Lingling¡­ I¡¯m speaking out for you, that¡¯s all.¡±


    Li Yuan just smiled.


    Zhou Qi¡¯s physical quality was average, still falling short of level 4, but his academic scores were pretty good, ranking within the top fifty of the grade.


    National resources are limited, and Martial Arts Universities only recruit a minority of students.


    Ultimately, the majority of students still get into different universities based on their academic scores.


    ¡°Wan Xiao has good physical quality; it¡¯s very normal for him to awaken his Martial Spirit,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Besides, college entrance exams are a competition among all senior high school students in the province, or even the nation, not just against Wan Xiao.¡±


    Li Yuan was happy for Wan Xiao¡¯s awakening of the Martial Spirit.


    Already over sixty seniors in their school had awakened their Martial Spirit. Looking at the whole province, the whole country¡­ there were too many.


    Rather than worrying about others, it¡¯s better to improve oneself. This was something Li Yuan had understood from a young age.


    ¡­


    Wan Xiao¡¯s successful awakening provided a great stimulus to the other students, and those who hadn¡¯t been tested yet began to feel a slight sense of expectation.


    The fourth group, the fifth group¡­ failed, failed.


    In the end, after all the students in Class 3-2 had been tested, only Wan Xiao had awakened his Martial Spirit.


    Once all the students returned to the classroom.


    Teacher Xu, a burly figure, swept his gaze across the room and spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Good, that¡¯s enough basic training for today, stop there.¡±


    Rustle~


    Rustle~ Immediately, all the students stopped, many with their legs aching and weakening.


    But out of respect for Teacher Xu¡¯s strictness, no one dared to lie down on the floor.


    The Basic Cultivation Method was very draining on one¡¯s physical strength.


    Even though the seniors¡¯ physical quality generally reached level 4, after two hours of practice, most were still finding it challenging.


    ¡°Having students awaken their Martial Spirit is a good thing, but don¡¯t be disappointed if you didn¡¯t succeed,¡± said Teacher Xu.


    ¡°There will be another Spiritual Aptitude Test organized by the school during the mid-term exams in January, and the standard exams in April.¡±


    ¡°Before the college entrance exams, there will also be a national Spiritual Aptitude Test.¡±


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re awakened before the entrance exam, you¡¯ll get bonus points on your martial arts scores,¡± Teacher Xu said in a deep voice. ¡°But remember, your exam scores are the foundation. Only with a high base score do bonus points matter.¡±


    ¡°Even in the Elite Class, not everyone will get into a Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°How do you get good scores? Hard work!¡±


    ¡°Take Li Yuan for example, without the spiritual nature bonus, his martial arts scores still surpass 800, beating the majority of the Elite Class students,¡± Teacher Xu declared. ¡°And his diligence, well, that goes without saying.¡±


    Many students couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan, most of them showing admiration in their eyes.


    Li Yuan¡¯s dedication to training was somewhat renowned throughout the senior year.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, Teacher Xu is drawing hatred for you again,¡± whispered Zhou Qi from the side.


    Li Yuan could only offer a wry smile.


    Ever since his martial arts scores entered the top hundred of the grade, he had become accustomed to being ¡®that kid from someone else¡¯s family.¡¯


    Teacher Xu¡¯s full name was Xu Bo. He was the homeroom teacher for their martial arts class at Guan Mountain High School and was one of only two top-tier Martial Arts Teachers at the school.


    As Li Yuan knew, Teacher Xu¡¯s physical quality had surpassed level 15, which was quite a respectable existence even among entry-rank martial artists; he had been a military martial artist before retiring due to injuries to teach at Guan Mountain High School.


    It is worth noting that surpassing level 9 in physical quality brings one into the category of entry-rank martial artists, whose status in society is extremely high.


    The average adult¡¯s physical quality generally hovers around levels 5-6.


    ¡°You are currently in a critical phase where your physical quality is rapidly improving. Senior year is also the year that will decide your destiny,¡± Teacher Xu continued to speak. ¡°You must not slack off.¡±


    ¡°Now, rest for half an hour, and then I will conduct the skills assessment in turn,¡± Teacher Xu finished speaking and turned to leave.


    ¡°Ah?¡±


    ¡°Skills assessment?¡±


    ¡°About to be utterly defeated by Teacher Xu¡¯s class again, I bet you won¡¯t last three moves.¡±


    ¡°Do you think you can last more than three moves?¡± Many students whispered amongst themselves, all quite excited.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, a trace of inexplicable light also flashed.


    Blue Star, and even the Seven Great Planets, have always faced the threat of war, where powerful martial artists play an important role.


    Therefore, it¡¯s a general consensus for everyone to train in the Martial Path.


    In human society, the status of top martial arts masters is extremely high.


    For students like Li Yuan, there is immense admiration for martial arts masters.


    Xu Bo is one of the top martial arts masters these students can come into contact with in reality.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, skills assessment is your forte,¡± Zhou Qi said excitedly.


    ¡°Worry about yourself first. I watched you doing standing stakes just now, and you haven¡¯t progressed since last semester,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t get knocked down by Teacher Xu with a single stick later; that would be embarrassing in front of Peng Lingling.¡±


    Peng Lingling is the object of Zhou Qi¡¯s unrequited love.


    Zhou Qi¡¯s face stiffened, and he said sheepishly, ¡°I¡¯m not planning on applying to Martial Arts University, Lingling won¡¯t care.¡±


    ¡­


    In the classroom, every student took out their own weapon from the weapons cabinet behind the classroom¡¯s weapons rack.


    After that, they all put on their protective gear.


    In this era, each high school student is provided by the nation with one or two unsharpened cold weapons for training purposes, mainly swords, spears, and shields, with a few opting for axes, halberds, and swords.


    As for weapons such as hammers, battle-axes, hooks, forks, whips, and maces? Almost no students would choose them.


    In the practice of cold weapons, sword and spear are mainstream.


    The martial arts exam consists of a basic score of one thousand points, which comes from physical quality, martial arts skills, and academic performance, accounting for 50%, 40%, and 10% respectively.


    If one awakens their Spiritual Nature, there will be additional bonuses.


    Therefore, skills assessment is incredibly important and is the focus of the students¡¯ daily training.


    If one only has good physical quality but lacks skills, they won¡¯t be able to get into Martial Arts University.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan also took out his weapon from his personal weapon cabinet, a black spear nearly three meters long, weighing about five kilograms.


    Though called a spear, the tip was just for decoration, closer to a long stick, as they were issued by the state for practice, not for actual combat.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan held the spear shaft and made what seemed to be a casual thrust.


    Swoosh! The spearhead punctured the air, creating a sensation of tearing through the void, causing the expressions of his classmates nearby to change slightly.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s strength, even a casual thrust, though not sharpened, was quite powerful.


    ¡°No one else in our class can handle such a large spear like Li Yuan can.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan wielding a spear gives me the feeling he¡¯s going to face Teacher Xu,¡± many classmates whispered among themselves, showing eyes full of envy and admiration.


    There were many in the class who practiced spear technique, but most were reluctant to train with such a long spear.


    ¡°A longer reach means greater strength.¡±


    But the longer the shaft, the harder it is to control.


    A weapon is something to train and nurture for a lifetime; what suits one best is the best. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Number one in skills! Brother Yuan¡¯s martial arts skills assessment score at the end of his sophomore year was 356 points, the only one in the grade to exceed 350 points,¡± Zhou Qi said with a grin. ¡°Even Teacher Xu said Brother Yuan¡¯s spearmanship is very solid.¡±


    Many classmates couldn¡¯t help nodding their heads.


    Without the bonus points from Spiritual Nature and with physical quality that isn¡¯t the best of the best, how could Li Yuan¡¯s martial arts scores break into the top thirty of his grade?


    It was because his spear technique was far superior to his peers.


    On the single subject of martial arts skills, Li Yuan was widely acknowledged as first in his grade.


    Shortly after.


    Teacher Xu, broad-shouldered and stout, casually carrying a long stick, re-entered the classroom.


    His gaze lingered a bit longer on Li Yuan.


    ¡°For the test, I will adhere to the standards of the college entrance exam,¡± Xu Bo said in a deep voice, holding the long stick and speaking very seriously.


    ¡°Take each test seriously, treat every test as if it¡¯s the college entrance exam, and when the real exam comes, it will just be another test,¡± he instructed.


    ¡°Based on student numbers, go in reverse order. One at a time.¡±


    ¡°Number 112, Zhou Qi.¡±

 Chapter 4 - 2 Physical Quality Level 6.5

    Chapter 4: Chapter 2 Physical Quality Level 6.5


    ¡°Why are we going in reverse order based on student numbers this time? Is Teacher Xu targeting me?¡± Zhou Qi shrank his neck.


    He had thought he would be the last to be tested, by which time, he guessed, the other students would probably not pay much attention and he would not lose face as a result.


    But to do it in reverse? Zhou Qi felt an urge to die.


    ¡°Go on.¡± Li Yuan patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder with a smile, ¡°A cut comes whether you stretch out your neck or retract it.¡±


    Zhou Qi made a face, ¡°Even if you¡¯re going to decapitate me, at least give me a moment to wash my neck.¡±


    Muttering under his breath, Zhou Qi was very honest with his actions, fearing a reprimand from Teacher Xu Bo, he quickly took his long spear and walked to the center of the classroom.


    ...


    In the center of the classroom was a huge silver metallic circle, distinctly different from the rest of the floor material.


    The silver circular ground had a diameter of about 12 meters, giving the impression at first glance of an arena.


    Li Yuan, Wan Xiao, and the hundred other students tacitly stepped out of the limits of the silver round.


    ¡°Management authorization.¡± Teacher Xu suddenly spoke in a deep voice, a device similar to a smartwatch on his left wrist emitted a faint red light, ¡°Class 3 (2), Martial Arts Skills testing, Physical Quality detection, record simultaneously!¡±


    Immediately.


    Whoosh~ The many devices above the classroom, previously inactive, instantly flickered with white light.


    The white light came down, covering the silver circular area perfectly.


    ¡°Tss~¡± One of the devices suddenly shot out two beams of red light, which spread to envelop both Zhou Qi and Xu Bo.


    Everyone was accustomed to this scene.


    Merely three seconds.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± The electronic screen at the back of the classroom suddenly lit up, displaying two very conspicuous lines of white text¡ª


    ¡°Zhou Qi (student), Physical Quality: 3.9 level (previous test 3.7 level)¡±


    ¡°Xu Bo (teacher), Physical Quality: 12.0 level (beyond the detection limit)¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Huh, it¡¯s been so long since the last test, and I¡¯ve actually improved by 0.2 level?¡± Zhou Qi¡¯s face showed a hint of smugness, ¡°It seems that the effort of the past few months has paid off a bit.¡±


    ¡°Physical Quality still not at level 4?¡± Xu Bo frowned slightly.


    A Physical Quality of 3.9 level, looking at the millions of third-year high school students in the whole province, was actually not bad, even average.


    But you see, in Guan Mountain District¡¯s top high school in the capital, such physical quality was at the bottom.


    ¡°It seems Zhou Qi says he¡¯s laying low, but his body is very honest.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Their age was the stage where physical quality could skyrocket, and an increase of 0.2 level in three months meant Zhou Qi was indeed working hard behind the scenes.


    With this rate of progress, by the time of the college entrance examination, Zhou Qi¡¯s Physical Quality reaching 4.5 levels was hopeful.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the school¡¯s Life Vitality Detector is a bit low-grade and can¡¯t measure Teacher Xu¡¯s real Physical Quality,¡± Li Yuan thought quietly.


    The Life Vitality Blood Testing Instrument was an extremely common device in this era, frequently found in schools and various Martial Halls.


    Many people also had it in their homes, with complex sensing principles, specifically designed to detect the strength of life¡¯s vitality and then convert it into the corresponding Physical Quality level.


    5.0 level was the standard for a normal adult.


    10.0 level was the minimum threshold for an Entry Rank Martial Artist. Only Entry Rank Martial Artists were truly considered Martial Artists, who could receive benefits like government subsidies and many other rights.


    The school¡¯s Life Vitality Blood Testing Instrument, mainly serving students, typically had an upper limit of 12.0 levels. It might seem basic, but it was very reliable and not easily damaged.


    For an instrument with such high usage, durability was most important.


    Of course, the Physical Quality assessment for the college entrance examination wasn¡¯t solely based on instrument measurements but also included specialized tests of speed, Fist Strength, and many other aspects, with a final comprehensive score being given.


    ¡°For the test, I will assess your scores against the college entrance examination standards, using about 5.0 level of strength and speed. I hope you can demonstrate a level of 300 points under the rating system,¡± Xu Bo spoke.


    Martial Arts Skills total 400 points. Scoring 300 points in just the Martial Arts Skills category was the threshold for admission to a Martial Arts University.


    Zhou Qi, standing ten meters away, was already sweating in his palms.


    Level 5?


    In other words, Xu Bo would employ speed and strength much stronger than his own.


    ¡°What are you waiting for? Attack!¡± Xu Bo scolded.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Zhou Qi held the spear in the central position and suddenly lunged forward with impressive speed, covering the ten meters in the blink of an eye; his two-meter-long spear danced swiftly, aiming directly at Xu Bo.


    Spear Technique relies on a single thrust.


    Zhou Qi¡¯s Physical Quality may seem not high, but his Fist Strength had exploded beyond one hundred fifty kilograms.


    And having practiced Spear Technique for two years, even if his Comprehension was average and he wasn¡¯t especially diligent, he still had a solid foundation.


    At least his thrust looked competent.


    That¡¯s why students were required to wear full-body armor during tests.


    In cold weapon combat, even if the weapon was not sharpened, without any protection, you could be seriously injured or maimed.


    Whoosh!


    Xu Bo, who was tall and burly and not wearing any armor, seemed to casually step to the left. His movement wasn¡¯t fast, but he easily dodged Zhou Qi¡¯s fierce spear thrust.


    The spear¡¯s tip missed his body by a hair¡¯s breadth.


    At first glance, it looked extremely dangerous.


    ¡°That movement technique?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened as he noticed the sophistication in Xu Bo¡¯s step.


    Not an inch too much or too little.


    A perfect conservation of energy.


    It was an absolute control over one¡¯s body coupled with precise prediction of the opponent¡¯s attack, admitting no margin for error.


    ¡°Dodged again?¡± Zhou Qi didn¡¯t hesitate, withdrawing his spear and following with a turn of the spearhead, flicking out a series of spear flowers before stabbing towards Xu Bo once more.


    Yet Xu Bo simply retreated one step, seemingly narrowly avoiding the attack once again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhou Qi wielded his long spear with all his might, either stabbing, slashing, or sweeping, but before Xu Bo¡¯s exquisite movement technique, all his attacks fell short.


    ¡°So close, just a bit more.¡± Zhou Qi gritted his teeth.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just a bit, it¡¯s far off,¡± Li Yuan lamented quietly from the sidelines.


    He could see clearly, it wasn¡¯t that Zhou Qi¡¯s spear technique was poor, but that Xu Bo¡¯s movement technique was too exquisite.


    His steps, appearing unhurried, were alarmingly precise, calculating all of Zhou Qi¡¯s long spear movements in advance.


    And after more than ten consecutive spear thrusts, Zhou Qi was also under a great burden, feeling weakness in his arms, causing his spear momentum to slow.


    It was in that moment.


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    The sound of air tearing apart, the constantly evading Xu Bo suddenly stepped forward, his left hand thrusting out the long stick with a bang, the head of the stick moving like a venomous snake, instantaneously deflecting Zhou Qi¡¯s spear parry, and sending the long spear flying.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The head of the stick chopped down, lightly tapping the back of Zhou Qi¡¯s hand, causing a surge of pain that made him release the long spear instinctively.


    Clang~ The long spear hit the ground.


    The stick was already withdrawn.


    Inside the classroom, it was dead silent, all the students looking at the scene.


    Xu Bo, who had only taken over their class¡¯s Martial Arts teaching since the last semester.


    And in the skill test at the end of the previous semester, Xu Bo had not revealed such amazing body movement and control.


    ¡°Is this Teacher Xu¡¯s true strength?¡±


    ¡°Clearly, Teacher Xu¡¯s speed is very slow, probably even slower than mine, but his footwork¡­¡± More than a hundred students in the class were shocked; many had Physical Quality over 5.0.


    In past teachings, these students knew that Xu Bo¡¯s Physical Quality was extremely strong, knew that Xu Bo¡¯s Martial Arts Skills were profound.


    But when instructing them, Xu Bo had never fought against them with the speed and strength of a level 5 Physical Quality.


    Teaching drills and actual combat are two different things.


    Perhaps many students had seen far more amazing battle videos on the internet.


    But watching videos and the impact brought by witnessing a fight at close range are different.


    Tick-tock!


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, a number had appeared¡ª¡±245 points¡±.


    The score was determined by a program that evaluated data, the process of combat, and the results, all calculated together.


    For the college entrance exam, each student¡¯s skills assessment would also include manual evaluation.


    ¡°The score, actually lower than last semester?¡± Zhou Qi muttered to himself but didn¡¯t feel too embarrassed.


    At least, he had launched so many thrusts.


    ¡­ In order of student numbers.


    One after another, students underwent the test, with most having Physical Quality between 4.5 and 5.5.


    As for the Martial Arts Skills assessment?


    The process of the tests, much like Zhou Qi¡¯s, followed a similar pattern.


    It began with the students attacking, while Xu Bo easily dodged each assault with his movement technique, and finally, a stick thrust out. Even though many students demonstrated superior speed and strength, they still couldn¡¯t block it.


    The scores, mostly struggling to surpass 300 points.


    Even for Wan Xiao, student number 2, with a Physical Quality test score as high as 6.0, his burst of speed and strength was a significant cut above level 5.0.


    Yet he held out against only three of Xu Bo¡¯s strikes.


    In the end, Wan Xiao¡¯s skills score was 322 points.


    He was also the only one in the class to exceed 320 points so far.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, last semester¡¯s final was 329, right? Why have you regressed?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that he has regressed; it¡¯s that the assessment standards have increased significantly. Haven¡¯t you noticed that most of our scores have dropped?¡±


    ¡°Last semester¡¯s final exam was according to the high school junior year standards, this test is according to college entrance exam standards.¡±


    ¡°Only Li Yuan is left.¡±


    ¡°I wonder how many strikes he can withstand from Teacher Xu.¡± All the classmates¡¯ gazes were focused on Li Yuan, and even many of the girls showed anticipation.


    In Martial Path achievements, Li Yuan was within the top thirty of the whole grade, but in senior class (2), he was undisputedly number one.


    Good performance and a likable personality naturally made him more popular.


    During student life, most are not as opportunistic as in society.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Xu Bo¡¯s eyes flashed with a barely perceptible expectation.


    ¡°Teacher Xu,¡± Li Yuan, holding his long spear, stepped into the circular area paved with silver metal.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of red light shot over, enveloping Li Yuan completely. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Three seconds later.


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, data appeared¡ª¡±Li Yuan (Student), Physical Quality: 6.5 (Last check 6.0)¡±

 Chapter 5 - 3 Unawakened Higher Spiritual Nature

    Chapter 5: Chapter 3 Unawakened Higher Spiritual Nature


    ¡°I¡¯m not seeing things, am I? Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality has reached level 6.5? It¡¯s improved by 0.5 since the end of June?¡±


    ¡°Improved by 0.5 level in less than three months?¡±


    ¡°Even Lin Lanyue, the current top student in martial arts and a hopeful for Starry Sky University admission, couldn¡¯t have improved so quickly, could she?¡±


    ¡°Is the machine broken?¡±


    ¡°The school uses it but never seems to fix it; it would be normal if it¡¯s broken.¡± More than a hundred students were surprised, their gazes shifting between Li Yuan and the screen.


    Most people actually understood that the likelihood of the equipment being damaged was almost zero.


    ...


    The key was that the speed of Li Yuan¡¯s improvement in physical quality was indeed frightening.


    In the elite class, even students who had awakened their Martial Spirit and came from wealthy families couldn¡¯t improve at such a monstrous rate.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been working so hard lately, spending the vacation soaking in the cultivation room and consuming all sorts of supplements every day, and my physical quality has just barely reached level 6.0. I thought I could close the gap with Li Yuan.¡± Wan Xiao, big as a bear, couldn¡¯t help but think: ¡°And now, the gap is even wider?¡±


    The relationship between the two was good; Wan Xiao had always set Li Yuan as his target, hoping to catch up to him.


    ¡°Level 6.5! Brother Yuan is awesome!¡± Zhou Qi couldn¡¯t help shouting, instinctively feeling happy for Li Yuan.


    Ten meters away.


    ¡°Level 6.5? How could Li Yuan progress so quickly?¡± Teacher Xu Bo also became a bit unsettled.


    Having not sensed an awakening of the Martial Spirit in Li Yuan during today¡¯s test, he felt somewhat disappointed.


    An awakening in Wan Xiao was a pleasant surprise.


    Now, the level of Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality was a shock.


    ¡°If he had awakened his Martial Spirit and was practicing a high-rank cultivation method, then improving by 0.5 level in less than three months wouldn¡¯t be too rare¡­ But he underwent testing at noon and clearly hadn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit,¡± Teacher Xu thought with many ideas racing through his mind. ¡°Besides, he hasn¡¯t had the time to cultivate.¡±


    As an entry-rank martial artist and one who had crawled through the ranks in the military, Teacher Xu saw things the students could not.


    In a matter of seconds, he thought of numerous possibilities.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Teacher Xu spoke in a deep voice: ¡°Don¡¯t rush to test your skill level. First, go to the track to test your burst speed, and then test your fist strength again.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, understanding Teacher Xu¡¯s intentions.


    The Life Vitality Detector hardly ever malfunctioned, but there were ways to trick its sensory system, resulting in false data.


    There was a possibility of cheating.


    However, the speed and strength one could explosively unleash were impossible to fake.


    ¡°It seems to be a comprehensive test.¡±


    ¡°Looks like Teacher Xu isn¡¯t absolutely sure either.¡±


    ¡°What will Li Yuan¡¯s burst speed be?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say, the Life Vitality Detector provides composite data, and everyone¡¯s situation is different. Even if two people have the same physical quality level, some may be faster, others might have higher fist strength, and some stronger endurance.¡± All the students were whispering to each other, and most were attentive.


    They were all curious.


    If Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality was indeed level 6.5, how high would he rank in the martial arts performance of the entire grade?


    ¡°Activate permissions for the sprint speed test and fist strength test, and record,¡± Teacher Xu ordered coldly, a flicker of red light glowing from his wrist.


    ¡°Hum~¡± White light projected down from above the classroom, illuminating the roughly 40-meter-long dark red metal track to the left side of the classroom.


    Above the track, faint lights twinkled.


    This was why martial arts classrooms needed to be so spacious.


    The large amount of technological equipment used to test physical data required space.


    For instance, the martial arts classroom for the elite class covered an even larger area, like a small sports arena.


    ¡°Testing burst speed?¡± Li Yuan placed his long spear on the silver metallic floor and came to the start of the track. He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.


    The speed test wasn¡¯t just running.


    During the martial arts college entrance exam, sequential tests for forty meters, one hundred meters, one kilometer, and ten kilometers would be conducted.


    The forty-meter speed test had the highest score weight, followed by the ten-kilometer long-distance run.


    One tested instantaneous burst speed, and the other endurance.


    ¡°In martial combat, life and death are often determined within two or three moves, or even a single exchange. Since life and death hang by a thread, instantaneous burst speed is the most crucial,¡± Li Yuan quickly adjusted his condition: ¡°But in war, one often faces more than one enemy, and battles can last a long time, making endurance equally important.¡±


    Li Yuan was clear that the establishment of the martial arts college entrance exams was closely related to war.


    In this era, human civilization on Blue Star and the Seven Great Planets all faced enormous survival threats.


    War, was the main theme of society.


    Whoosh!


    Using the Breathing Technique to regulate himself, Li Yuan quickly relaxed with each inhale and exhale. His spiritual power was strong enough to faintly sense the beating of his internal organs, the steady flow of the heart¡¯s blood supply, and the strands of vigor throughout his limbs.


    The next instant!


    ¡°Boom!¡± With the spine as his core, Li Yuan¡¯s overall strength suddenly tensed in unison, as if drawing a bowstring fully back, his vigor was transmitted through the hips directly to his legs. Like an arrow released from the bow, he instantly sprinted forth.


    The source of vigor is in the feet, activated by the legs.


    The explosive power of the thighs is far stronger than other body parts.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan sprinted across the forty-meter track in seconds, slamming into the buffer wall at the end of the track.


    The buffer wall, akin to a sponge but with more specialized material, was custom-made by the school to protect the students.


    Tick-tock!


    Data appeared on the screen on the wall at the end of the track ¡ª ¡°14.2 meters per second.¡±


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s finish line speed, not the average speed.


    ¡°That¡¯s fast.¡±


    ¡°It seems Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality has indeed reached level 6.5,¡± the spectating students spoke to each other, now thoroughly convinced.


    They all knew that the Basic Cultivation Method Li Yuan practiced was the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique, which specialized in strength.


    If Li Yuan was that fast, what about his strength?


    ¡°14.2 meters per second? Not bad,¡± Teacher Xu nodded slightly and directly instructed: ¡°Now, test your fist strength.¡±


    The fist strength testing area is much smaller, located in the corner of the classroom, rather inconspicuous.


    Li Yuan stood on the testing ground.


    Whoosh~ Several white beams of light were projected downwards from the equipment overhead, enveloping Li Yuan to check if his movements were standard and qualified. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The fist strength test was not about pursuing extreme explosive power, but rather the strongest force that could be unleashed by one arm when steadying oneself in place.


    If one¡¯s posture couldn¡¯t even be maintained while throwing a punch, then no matter how strong the power released, it would be meaningless. In a life-or-death fight, it would only give the enemy an opportunity to kill with one strike.


    ¡°Relax first.¡± Li Yuan adjusted his breathing, his tense body gradually relaxed, his feet spread apart, knees slightly bent to generate more propelling power the moment he punched.


    Following that, at the sigh of his exhale, Li Yuan¡¯s spine was like a great dragon, his left foot stepping slightly to the side, the right foot pushing off the ground, through the twisting of his waist and abdomen, instantly drawing the power of his waist and back, transmitting all the strength in his body from the bottom up to his right arm.


    Five fingers came together to form a fist!


    His right fist, like a cannonball fired from a chamber, fiercely struck the giant sandbag hanging in front.


    ¡°Bang!¡± A dull booming sound.


    In an instant.


    The screen above the fist strength testing area clearly displayed: ¡°424 kilograms (movement qualified).¡±


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°424 kilograms! Awesome!¡±


    ¡°With that kind of fist strength, he¡¯s not far from the 7th level physical quality standard. I remember for the 7th level physical quality, the fist strength requirement is 450 kilograms.¡± There was a stir, and Li Yuan¡¯s classmates were thoroughly shocked.


    Martial Path isn¡¯t just about nurturing the body; the data from the Life Vitality Detector can only ever be a reference.


    What¡¯s shown in actual combat is what truly convinces people.


    Across the entire Blue Star, and even within the Seven Star Alliance, there are strict divisions regarding physical quality levels corresponding to burst speed and fist strength:


    Level 5: 10 meters per second, fist strength 200 kilograms


    Level 6: 13 meters per second; fist strength 300 kilograms


    Level 7: 15 meters per second, fist strength 450 kilograms


    Level 8: 18 meters per second; fist strength 800 kilograms


    Level 9: 20 meters per second, fist strength 1000 kilograms


    ¡­


    Despite individual talent differences and different Cultivation Methods leading to various tendencies, the discrepancies from the standard for each level aren¡¯t too large.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Life Vitality Detector displayed 6.5 level, with burst speed within the normal range.


    But his fist strength was very close to the 7th level standard.


    ¡°My fist strength peak is still short of 300 kilograms.¡± Wan Xiao subconsciously clenched the Combat Saber in his hand: ¡°Is the gap between Li Yuan and myself already this big?¡±


    ¡°Training involves being tight within relaxation, and employing strength within flexibility, only using true tightness can one deliver powerful and explosive strikes. It seems my student has really grasped the essence of the Basic Cultivation Methods,¡± said Teacher Xu Bo, his eyesight was sharp enough to see the crux of it.


    Normal people find it difficult to channel all of their body¡¯s strength; managing to exploit ninety percent of it is already very admirable.


    One must fully understand the vigor in their body and condense this vigor to exert one hundred percent of their strength.


    Li Yuan, evidently, had almost achieved this.


    ¡°Not bad,¡± said Teacher Xu Bo, revealing a rare smile.


    This scene caused many students to marvel silently.


    You should know that when Wan Xiao awakened his Martial Spirit, Teacher Xu Bo didn¡¯t smile.


    Li Yuan, hearing the sounds around him, maintained a calm exterior, but inwardly, he felt somewhat unsatisfied.


    ¡°According to the Divine Palace panel, my instantaneous burst speed should reach 14.4 meters per second, and my fist strength peak should be 426 kilograms,¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly: ¡°It seems like I still haven¡¯t perfectly executed my physical quality.¡±


    At that moment.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s field of vision, there was an almost transparent screen that others couldn¡¯t perceive but he could see.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 6.6 (unranked)]


    Physical Quality Index: 72 (Indicates Explosive Power, Endurance, Speed, Physique, Spiritual Power, etc. Comprehensive Assessment.)


    Fist Strength: 426 kilograms


    Speed: 14.4 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 12.4 level


    Physical Body Cultivation Method:


    Mind Cultivation Method:


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Third Stage 36%), Movement Technique (Third Stage 21%), Fist Technique (Third Stage 88%)


    [Note: A certain high-rank Spiritual Nature lies dormant within the body, yet to awaken.]


    ¡ª¡ª


    Li Yuan could make the entire screen appear before his eyes with just a thought in his mind, clearly displaying his Martial Arts Cultivation.


    This was something that had awakened suddenly when Li Yuan¡¯s Physical Quality reached level 5.0 in his second year of High School.


    At first, Li Yuan thought it was similar to ¡®systems¡¯ or ¡®data panels¡¯ that he had seen in some novels.


    Later, after repeated experiments and confirmation, he discovered that the screen itself only had a detection function, akin to an extraordinarily precise ¡®Cultivation Detector¡¯.


    It wasn¡¯t capable of directly enhancing Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Cultivation.


    ¡°However, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡¯s has already given me ample help,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    As he pondered.


    Li Yuan returned to the silver metallic floor and picked up his black Long Spear.


    His gaze fell upon Teacher Xu Bo, who stood ten meters away. The panel before his eyes shifted, displaying a string of text messages:


    [Target individual, Life Level exceeds detection limit (current Life Level detection limit is 16.6)]


    ¡°Teacher Xu, please enlighten me.¡± Li Yuan first saluted, then his figure suddenly darted forward, crossing several meters in an instant, and with an explosion of strength, the Long Spear, like a dragon with the screeching of tearing air, headed straight for Xu Bo.


    ¡°Hm? This Spear Technique!¡± Xu Bo¡¯s eyes lit up completely.

 Chapter 6 - 4 Spear Technique, Scores

    Chapter 6: Chapter 4 Spear Technique, Scores


    The spear tip tore through the air, bringing a sharp whistle.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spear.¡± Most of the students held their breath as they watched, all feeling that Li Yuan¡¯s long spear was too fast, covering several meters in the blink of an eye.


    To know, Li Yuan and Teacher Xu Bo were less than ten meters apart, and Li Yuan¡¯s long spear was nearly three meters in length, plus Li Yuan¡¯s burst speed¡­ the spear tip, aimed directly at Teacher Xu Bo¡¯s chest.


    ¡°A mid-level thrust?¡± Zhou Qi clenched the long spear in his hand, recognizing the move from Li Yuan.


    Spear technique can vary infinitely, but the fundamental styles are no more than blocking, seizing, stabbing, thrusting, cleaving, collapsing, poking, entangling, and twisting, with all spear skills being derived from these basic moves.


    ...


    A mid-level thrust can be considered the most ordinary of spear techniques, and yet it is also the most crucial.


    So-called mid-level thrusting means thrusting straight and level, taking the shortest distance between two points, the assault swift as an arrow.


    What it contests is precision, speed, and power.


    ¡°It¡¯s the same move, but Brother Yuan¡¯s thrust could probably pierce me dead,¡± Zhou Qi thought in awe.


    In the arena.


    ¡°Straight thrust? Using the weapon and strength advantage?¡± Xu Bo discerned Li Yuan¡¯s intent.


    As the saying goes, ¡®the knife is like a fierce tiger, the sword like a roaming dragon, the stick sweeps across widely, and the spear picks a single line.¡¯


    The stick is shorter than the long spear.


    In such a straight confrontation, the long spear will undoubtedly strike first, and the speed and strength Li Yuan possessed are far greater than Xu Bo¡¯s explosive 5.0-level power.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Facing Li Yuan¡¯s attack, Xu Bo no longer started with an evasion like before but instead took the initiative to strike. With one step forward, he swung his long stick in the air, drawing a smooth arc, whip-fast as it struck the tip of the spear, borrowing the force to alter its direction sharply.


    He dodged Li Yuan¡¯s ferocious strike.


    ¡°Hiss~!¡± As if he had expected it, Li Yuan instantly utilized the forceful rebound of his spear shaft and, with his waist as the core, violently twisted his body and powered through, turning the spear shaft a full one hundred and eighty degrees, chopping down towards Xu Bo with the force of an ax blade.


    This time they were closer, and the burst speed was even faster.


    ¡°Haha!¡± Teacher Xu Bo suddenly laughed, as if he possessed foresight, dodging backward and avoiding Li Yuan¡¯s fierce chop.


    ¡°He can dodge that too?¡± Li Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart, the teacher¡¯s reaction speed was just too fast.


    Without giving him time to think.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± A blurred stick shadow had already taken advantage of the spear¡¯s missed swipe to slam down fiercely.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Li Yuan immediately changed his footwork to retreat explosively while he simultaneously tried to block the incoming stick with his long spear horizontally.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Weapons collided.


    Yet Li Yuan didn¡¯t feel the impact from the opponent¡¯s long stick, as if his long spear was stuck to it.


    Very uncomfortable.


    Whoosh!


    Xu Bo suddenly advanced a step, closing the distance with Li Yuan yet again, wielding his long stick in a deceptive thrust, fast and fierce.


    ¡°Swish!¡± Li Yuan was forced to retreat and dodge; the long spear, being a long weapon, required space to unleash its full power.


    But what shocked Li Yuan was that even though there was nothing wrong with his movement technique, he simply couldn¡¯t back away. Teacher Xu Bo¡¯s long stick always managed to land just right, forcing Li Yuan¡¯s long spear into defensive parries again and again, disrupting his full force.


    The long stick sometimes turned wild, sometimes gentle, unpredictable.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Their weapons collided lightning-fast over a dozen times, and Li Yuan was already forced back to the edge of the silver floor.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Another stick shadow swept through, and Li Yuan only felt a slight pain in his chest, his body retreating uncontrollably backward.


    Taking several steps back, he finally stopped.


    With full body armor and Teacher Xu Bo not exerting strong force, a single training stick strike wouldn¡¯t cause any real harm to Li Yuan.


    ¡°I lost.¡± Li Yuan held his long spear upright and said helplessly, ¡°Teacher Xu, even with my advantage in speed and strength, I couldn¡¯t withstand even twenty of your moves.¡±


    This only indicated that the gap in their cold weapon skills was large.


    Around them, it was as silent as death.


    All the students stared dumbfounded at the match between Li Yuan and Teacher Xu Bo.


    The exchange was short but extremely intense, almost like a real combat, far above the level of the skills test they had just undergone.


    ¡°You have already blocked more than ten of my moves,¡± Teacher Xu Bo said, a rare smile emerging on his usually cool face. ¡°Your spear technique has improved greatly since the end of last semester¡¯s exams. I also had to go all out to win against you.¡±


    All out?


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly; this was merely Teacher Xu demonstrating full effort at a Fifth Level Physical Quality.


    If both sides unleashed their power and speed to the fullest, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand three moves.


    This was the difference in skill level.


    ¡°At the end of last semester¡¯s exam, my Spear Technique and movement technique were both at Second Stage 99%, breaking through only after the test,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°By that estimate, Teacher Xu¡¯s Skill Realm must be at least at a Fourth Level standard.¡±


    Without other points of reference, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too clear on the specific differences between First Stage, Second Stage, and Third Stage as indicated on his dashboard.


    But he could vaguely discern that among his classmates, only a very few like Wan Xiao had achieved the Second Stage standard in cold weapon skills.


    At the same time, Li Yuan was certain of one thing.


    If his Spear Technique and movement technique improved, it would definitely be reflected in the data on his panel.


    Drip-drop!


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Skills score had appeared¡ª¡±365 points.¡±


    ¡°So high?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s over 360 points,¡± Zhou Qi¡¯s eyes shone brightly.


    ¡°This is the difficulty level of the high school entrance exams, and Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Skills score has risen so much just entering senior year?¡±


    ¡°With such a single subject score, he¡¯s probably among the best in the city.¡±


    ¡°By the time of the college entrance exams, maybe Li Yuan could vie for the city¡¯s top scorer in Martial Arts Skills.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan will definitely get into Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°If only my Spear Technique was as formidable as Li Yuan¡¯s¡­¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s peeing yellow, give him a wake-up splash.¡±


    These classmates were both shocked and envious, whispering among themselves.


    If Li Yuan¡¯s score had been only 320 or 330 points, these classmates might have been jealous of him, as the gap wouldn¡¯t have been so outrageous.


    But with such a large difference, most people could only admire.


    Most people are aware of their own limits, why be envious of someone clearly not on the same level?


    Moreover, Martial Arts Skills and Physical Quality are different.


    If one comes from an extremely well-off family that can afford to hire a dedicated Dietician and Physiotherapist, and set up a specialized training plan, and moreover if one awakens the Martial Spirit¡­ it¡¯s possible to elevate one¡¯s Physical Quality to Level 7 or even higher during senior year.


    But improvements in Martial Arts Skills can¡¯t simply be bought with money.


    ¡­


    With Li Yuan¡¯s assessment concluding, the time had come to 5:30 in the afternoon.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Looking at today¡¯s test, most of you have been working hard after entering senior year,¡± Teacher Xu Bo spoke again, his voice regaining its coolness. ¡°But there are also some students who have regressed instead of progressing.¡±


    ¡°You are senior year students now. The college entrance exam does not, I say, decide your life¡¯s destiny, but it is certainly a significant opportunity in your life¡­ The day after tomorrow afternoon, I will come again to supervise your Martial Path practice, class dismissed,¡± Teacher Xu Bo turned and left.


    Behind him, another voice drifted over: ¡°Li Yuan, Wan Xiao, both of you, come to my office.¡±


    The many students, already with sore feet from practice and drenched in sweat, immediately scattered.


    Many boys, while gulping down water, called out to each other to rush for a spot in the cafeteria.


    Some girls discussed going to the restroom first.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, I¡¯ll head to the cafeteria with Yan Zhou and the others first, and save seats for you! We¡¯ll also grab a nutritional meal for you,¡± Zhou Qi shouted.


    ¡°Old Zhou, Brother Yuan¡¯s meal needs to be double the portion,¡± the robust male student named Yan Zhou laughed, then called out to Li Yuan, ¡°Brother Yuan, leave the meal to us; you better hurry to the office.¡±


    ¡°Thanks, I¡¯ll transfer the money to you guys later,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°No, no, you¡¯ve bought me breakfast a few times, and I haven¡¯t paid you back yet. Let¡¯s call it even with tonight¡¯s dinner,¡± Yan Zhou laughed.


    Li Yuan chuckled.


    Apart from Zhou Qi, he had several good friends in the class.


    ¡°Li Yuan, let¡¯s go,¡± the burly Wan Xiao called out to Li Yuan: ¡°What does Mr. Xu want with us?¡±


    ¡°If he¡¯s looking for you, it¡¯s probably to transfer you into the Elite Class,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    As for why Mr. Xu was looking for him? Li Yuan had his guesses, but wasn¡¯t yet certain.

 Chapter 7 - 5 I Believe in You (Thanks to the Wandering Silver League for their All-In Support!)

    Chapter 7: Chapter 5 I Believe in You (Thanks to the Wandering Silver League for their All-In Support!)


    ¡°`


    The setting sun cast a slanting glow, enveloping the campus in golden twilight.


    The students, having just finished class, moved in groups, dressed in the uniform martial attire, as they made their way out of the classrooms towards the cafeteria, their voices filled with laughter and chatter.


    Li Yuan and Wan Xiao exited the senior high school building, circumvented a large flower bed, and entered the office building.


    At the end of the corridor to the left on the first floor was Teacher Xu¡¯s office.


    Though called an office, it was in fact a martial arts room of astonishingly vast proportions.


    ...


    ¡°Reporting.¡±


    ¡°Reporting.¡± Upon arriving at the door, Li Yuan glanced around and estimated that this martial arts room exceeded five hundred square meters.


    This was his second visit.


    Equipment such as life vitality detectors and fist strength testing areas were placed around, and noticeably more advanced.


    On one side of the wall, cold weapons like spears, sticks, and axes were displayed, most of them unsharpened.


    But there were also sharpened cold weapons.


    Even more, Li Yuan caught sight of an independent restroom and physiotherapy room at the far end of the office.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is what a true warrior cultivation room looks like. Entry rank warriors can practice here in peace,¡± whispered Wan Xiao from beside him, a hint of envy in his eyes, ¡°My family¡¯s cultivation room is less than a hundred square meters, not even one-fifth the size of Teacher Xu¡¯s place here, and we don¡¯t have a dedicated physiotherapy room.¡±


    ¡°Normally, if I need to treat my body, my dad has to drive me to the Martial Hall. It¡¯s quite troublesome.¡±


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    Physiotherapy room? His own home didn¡¯t even have a separate cultivation room.


    As for going to the Martial Hall? That was even more out of the question financially.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, a warrior cultivation room of several hundred square meters, like the one before him, would cost tens of millions of Blue Star coins just for the interior decoration. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In Jiang City¡¯s housing market, even a moderately good location would cost over twenty thousand Blue Star coins per square meter.


    By Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, the total price of this martial arts room was at least twenty million Blue Star coins.


    What was the average monthly salary in Jiang City? Li Yuan remembered seeing a figure not long ago on the news; it should be about 11,342 Blue Star coins.


    The median income was even lower.


    ¡°You two, come in.¡± Teacher Xu Bo stood at the center of the martial arts room, his presence like that of an iron tower, especially that metallic right arm which was tremendously intimidating.


    Teacher Xu¡¯s aura seemed more restrained than it had been in the classroom earlier.


    Yet it exuded a more dangerous feel.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± greeted Li Yuan and Wan Xiao obediently.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, I¡¯ve submitted your class transfer application. It should be approved before six this evening. After approval, report directly to the elite class tomorrow,¡± Teacher Xu said to Wan Xiao.


    Known as Bear, Wan Xiao was burly in stature, yet appeared somewhat diminutive in front of Teacher Xu.


    ¡°That fast?¡± Wan Xiao was caught off guard.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not rushing you out,¡± said Teacher Xu with a cool voice but patiently, ¡°After your spiritual awakening, you can practice high-rank cultivation methods, which are far more efficient than basic ones.¡±


    ¡°The college entrance exam is drawing near, and your awakening to the Martial Spirit came quite late. It¡¯s better for you to join the elite class sooner; maybe it will give you an extra point in the exams.¡±


    Teacher Xu continued, ¡°Later, when the application is approved, the entry-level texts that you tried during the test and which suit you will be sent to your school account. I remember your family has a cultivation room, so don¡¯t bother with the self-study session tonight. Go home and try practicing them one by one.¡±


    ¡°After you report tomorrow, the teachers in the elite class will give you one-on-one guidance until you¡¯ve mastered them completely,¡± Teacher Xu concluded.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher,¡± Wan Xiao said gratefully.


    He now understood that Teacher Xu was not trying to get rid of him, but was actually considering his situation seriously.


    ¡°You may go,¡± Teacher Xu waved his hand.


    Wan Xiao saluted and left.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Teacher Xu looked at Li Yuan again, curiosity in his eyes, ¡°your spear technique and movement technique should have reached the Third Stage.¡±


    The Third Stage? Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.


    In the standard high school curriculum, there were no such terms as First Stage, Second Stage, or Third Stage.


    Only scores for skills.


    ¡°Oh, I forgot,¡± Teacher Xu remarked upon seeing Li Yuan¡¯s expression, coming to a realization, ¡°That is the terminology for entry rank martial artists. Then let me phrase it differently. Have you reached the Gold Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°I arrived just half a month ago,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Blue Star, as well as the Seven Great Planets, all have virtual networks that span their respective planets, with a simulation realism exceeding 70%, and the most popular game within these virtual networks is the ¡®Starry Skies Fighting Network¡¯.


    ¡°The Starry Skies Fighting Network is quite special, and it¡¯s not just a simple game,¡± Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°It primarily tests a person¡¯s martial arts skills, and it¡¯s very training-intensive.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    The prevalence of the Starry Skies Fighting Network, heavily promoted by the entire Seven Star Alliance on each planet, is inseparably linked to its significant promotional impact on reality.


    ¡°Being able to stand firm in the Gold Stage indicates that your spear technique and movement technique must have reached the Third Stage,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°For your age, reaching this level in martial arts skills is quite impressive.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s because of the good teaching I have received.¡±


    A rare smile squeezed its way onto Xu Bo¡¯s usually stern face.


    ¡°Your physical quality is also improving quickly,¡± Xu Bo said, his eyes reflecting a hint of curiosity. ¡°Can you tell your teacher the reason?¡±


    He was indeed curious.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just been practicing normally,¡± Li Yuan shook his head and said. ¡°Teacher should know my family¡¯s situation; I can¡¯t afford those special medicines.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your teacher isn¡¯t suspecting you of using forbidden medicine that stimulates life¡¯s potential,¡± Xu Bo said.


    In this era, there are some special treasures that can rapidly enhance physical quality, but most of them overdraw life¡¯s potential and are counterproductive.


    After use, they would have serious side effects; at best, one¡¯s strength would be hard to improve further, and at worst, it could lead to a shortened lifespan.


    Decades ago, when martial arts college entrance exams first began, many students would use these in secret, hoping to get into a good university.


    Latterly, as the rules of the martial arts college entrance exams were refined, these types of medicines and fluids have been listed as forbidden and cannot be produced and used at will.


    Before the college entrance exam, various devices would be used to perform comprehensive checks on the students.


    ¡°Normal practice leading to such progress? Very good!¡± Xu Bo revealed a rare smile. ¡°I have high hopes for you becoming a martial artist.¡±


    ¡°High hopes for me?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Since the other party took over as the homeroom teacher, he did indeed receive a lot of attention.


    But it was limited to the attention a teacher gives to a good student.


    Having high hopes for him becoming a martial artist? This was the first time Teacher Xu had said so.


    Becoming a martial artist was very challenging!


    ¡°Teacher, I still haven¡¯t awakened my Martial Spirit,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°Is Spiritual Awakening that important?¡± Xu Bo asked in return.


    Li Yuan was puzzled. Was it not important?


    ¡°It is very important,¡± Xu Bo said on his own. ¡°But in a certain sense, it¡¯s also not important.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s confusion intensified.


    ¡°What is Martial Spirit? Essentially, it is the compatibility with the Seven High-Rank Cultivation Methods,¡± Xu Bo explained.


    ¡°Only with a compatibility over ninety percent can one start practicing high-rank cultivation methods in advance, which can significantly increase the efficiency of enhancing physical quality,¡± Xu Bo continued. ¡°This would greatly increase the chances of becoming a powerful martial artist.¡±


    ¡°This is why the Seven Star Alliance puts such great importance on Martial Spirit.¡±


    ¡°Including the five prestigious national schools, they all prefer students who have awakened their Martial Spirit for the same reason.¡±


    ¡°After all, practicing high-rank cultivation methods earlier increases the likelihood of reaching Entry Rank as a martial artist, and the younger one becomes a martial artist, the greater the hope of achieving great success.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded without a word.


    When young, vitality is robust, making martial arts cultivation breakthroughs easier.


    ¡°Martial arts cultivation is the miraculous evolution of life,¡± Xu Bo said, his eyes gleaming. ¡°In reality, we humans still know very little about life cultivation, whether it¡¯s the Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods or the Seven High-Rank Cultivation Methods¡­ all of them have been gradually summed up by the numerous high-rank martial artists of the Seven Star Alliance over hundreds of years.¡±


    ¡°More than eighty years ago, during the first martial arts college entrance exam, the Seven Star Alliance only published three high-rank cultivation methods.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    He was not very clear about much of the information that Teacher Xu spoke of before.


    ¡°All cultivation methods aim to drive life evolution, to continuously improve our physical quality,¡± Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°And you, merely practicing the basic cultivation methods without any precious resources, are progressing faster in improving your physical quality than most students in the elite class.¡±


    ¡°What does this imply?¡±


    ¡°Your true talent may be very high,¡± Xu Bo sighed lightly. ¡°It¡¯s just that you don¡¯t fit any of the Seven High-Rank Cultivation Methods.¡±

 Chapter 8 - 6: The Den of Swallowing Metal

    Chapter 8: Chapter 6: The Den of Swallowing Metal


    ¡°Could it be that my talent is very high?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly.


    He couldn¡¯t help but think of the note on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace data panel: ¡°Contains some kind of high-rank Spiritual Nature yet to awaken.¡±


    Li Yuan trusted the Divine Palace panel¡¯s detection; it had never been wrong over the past year.


    It should be more reliable than Teacher Xu¡¯s estimate.


    The information Teacher Xu revealed today also gave Li Yuan more to ponder.


    Previously, although Li Yuan had searched multiple times on the virtual network, he couldn¡¯t find much information due to insufficient permissions.


    ...


    ¡°My talent is high? Having the Mind Spirit Divine Palace may also be a kind of talent,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Over the past hundred years, as many Cultivation Methods have gradually become available, and with the development of technology, a large number of Martial Artists have been born into human civilization.


    And those exceptional Martial Artists who could soar into the sky and survive nuclear explosions, which one of them didn¡¯t have a growth journey filled with legends?


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t believe that his Mind Spirit Divine Palace would be an exception.


    ¡°Teacher, what should I do?¡± Li Yuan asked proactively.


    He was smart; given that Teacher Xu had called him over, he surely intended to do more than encourage him.


    ¡°Persevere,¡± Xu Bo advised, looking at Li Yuan. He originally wanted to say ¡°proceed step by step,¡± but he changed it at the last moment.


    Seeing Li Yuan¡¯s surprised expression, Xu Bo continued, ¡°Your progress is already very fast, and there¡¯s no need to be too anxious about the Martial Spirit not awakening yet. With your results, it¡¯s easy to get into Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°If you practice normally, in at most two to three years your Physical Quality should be able to reach level 10.0.¡±


    ¡°Once you become an Entry Rank Martial Artist, High Rank Cultivation Methods will no longer be your restraint.¡±


    ¡°Who knows, in the future you might even create a set of High Rank Cultivation Methods unique to yourself,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile.


    ¡°Create Cultivation Methods?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Can I?¡±


    ¡°Haha, what¡¯s this about being able or not?¡± Teacher Xu laughed. ¡°How old are you? When you¡¯re young, you have endless possibilities.¡±


    ¡°Even the founders of the three great Martial Halls, who could have known about their achievements when they were young?¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with a smile. ¡°The founders of the three great Martial Halls are far-fetched, but do you not even have the ambition to surpass me?¡±


    ¡°My Physical Quality is only level 19,¡± he added.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    Ever since Xu Bo became his Martial Arts class¡¯s homeroom teacher, Li Yuan had always seen him as a target to strive for.


    Now, knowing his strength, a Physical Quality that reached as high as level 19, it was no wonder he was a First Class Martial Arts Teacher.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about something more practical,¡± Xu Bo said to Li Yuan, ¡°Although you haven¡¯t awakened your Martial Spirit, your Physical Quality and Martial Arts Skills are quite good. Combining that with your family situation¡­ I will apply to the school for a Third Class scholarship for you.¡±


    ¡°A Third Class scholarship?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Martial Arts Cultivation consumes a lot of resources.


    Therefore, for students with excellent Martial Arts results, the country provides various awards and subsidies starting from the first year of high school.


    As a provincial key high school, Guan Mountain District Number One High School receives more state funding than ordinary high schools.


    For each large-scale standardized test, students who rank within the top hundred in Martial Arts receive additional rewards. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The top fifty get a reward of two thousand Blue Star Coins.


    The top thirty get a reward of five thousand Blue Star Coins.


    The top twenty receive on top of the previous reward two Basic Lifeblood Elixir portions.


    The top ten in the grade will, on top of the top twenty¡¯s basis, also be allocated a separate Martial Arts Cultivation Room.


    These are examination rewards.


    Scholarships are even more special; they are allocated based on academic results in combination with family circumstances and also require a teacher¡¯s recommendation to have a chance of being granted.


    Those who receive a scholarship are few.


    ¡°You have made considerable progress, but after all your Martial Arts results are only within the top thirty of the grade. If you want to apply for a Second Class scholarship or higher, it¡¯s quite difficult,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°But there is still hope for a Third Class scholarship. Of course, even if the application is successful, the money isn¡¯t much, just twenty thousand; don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re too kind,¡± Li Yuan felt immensely grateful in his heart.


    Twenty thousand? That¡¯s equal to two months of his aunt¡¯s salary.


    All the scholarships he had received since starting high school, when added up, didn¡¯t even amount to twenty thousand.


    ¡°Is there anything I can do for you, Teacher?¡± Li Yuan followed up with another question.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing you need to do, just earnestly cultivate and get good grades,¡± Xu Bo waved his hand, ¡°Go have your meal. When the application goes through, I will let you know.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan replied as he left, closing the door behind him as he exited.


    He watched Li Yuan leave.


    ¡°This kid, does he still think I want some kind of reward?¡± Xu Bo shook his head with a laugh.


    Suddenly his brows furrowed slightly.


    This man, who was as tough as an iron tower, now showed a fleeting expression of pain.


    ¡°Time for medicine again?¡± Xu Bo suppressed the pain and walked towards the therapy room.


    ¡­


    Upon leaving the office building.


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but clench his fist, struggling to contain his joy.


    Before entering the office, he had guessed it was something good.


    But he hadn¡¯t expected it to be this significant.


    ¡°Did Teacher Xu not tell me these things before because, although my past grades were not bad, he didn¡¯t think they were outstanding enough?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Was my performance today sufficient?¡±


    Li Yuan had read many books.


    In those stories, many seniors liked to promote their juniors.


    But the precondition was also that the juniors were worth promoting.


    ¡°If one doesn¡¯t try hard enough, or isn¡¯t talented enough, then even if opportunities come by, they will be missed,¡± Li Yuan reminded himself.


    ¡°Should I send a message in the family group?¡± Just as the thought appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, he immediately suppressed it.


    Phew!


    A gust of wind blew by, helping Li Yuan to calm down further.


    ¡°No rush,¡± he told himself.


    ¡°Teacher Xu is a First Class teacher, but he¡¯s not part of the school management. Even if it goes through, it probably will take some time,¡± Li Yuan reasoned in his mind. ¡°And if it doesn¡¯t happen, it would just be a false hope.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait until the scholarship is really granted before I tell my uncle and aunt,¡± he decided.


    ¡°Yes, I shouldn¡¯t tell the other students either,¡± Li Yuan had thought it through. ¡°Teacher Xu called for me alone and had Wan Xiao leave first; he probably doesn¡¯t want others to know.¡±


    ¡°If the school wants to publicize it, I¡¯ll wait for the school to announce it in the future.¡±


    All his experiences up to this point, combined with the books he had read, made Li Yuan understand the saying, ¡°Success is achieved in secrecy, while failure is caused by loose talk.¡±


    Don¡¯t boast about things that haven¡¯t happened yet.


    ¡°First, let¡¯s get something to eat,¡± Li Yuan regained his composure and ran towards the cafeteria.


    ¡­


    The Guan Mountain District¡¯s First High School has over six thousand students, so the cafeteria is quite large.


    Li Yuan had just entered the cafeteria.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, over here.¡± Zhou Qi, who was squatting in the distance, called out, sitting with Wan Xiao, Yan Zhou, and over a dozen other boys, occupying two large tables and eating.


    Seeing this, Li Yuan walked over with a smile.


    The boys in his class really liked to gather and eat together.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, here are your two nutrition meals,¡± Zhou Qi said while eating, pushing two specially prepared meal boxes in front of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Who swiped their card? Was it Yan Zhou?¡± Li Yuan asked with a smile as he sat down to eat.


    ¡°I told you I was paying you back,¡± Yan Zhou said with a smile.


    ¡°The breakfasts I brought you a few times were just hot dry noodles, eggs, and soy milk, all together less than fifty coins,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°These two nutrition meals alone cost one hundred and fifty.¡±


    There was a big difference in the price of meals among all the boys present.


    For ordinary meals with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, or three meat and two vegetables, a meal costs less than twenty coins.


    Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou were eating this kind of meal.


    Because they were going to attend cultural classes in the evening, they wouldn¡¯t have any intense physical activity, and their energy consumption would be low¡­


    But for someone like Li Yuan, who still needed to undergo high-intensity martial arts cultivation in the evening, ordinary meals wouldn¡¯t suffice. Over time, this would lead to a deficiency in his body¡¯s vitality.


    He must eat the specially prepared nutrition meals from the cafeteria, which were much more expensive.


    One meal cost seventy-five Blue Star coins, and Li Yuan needed two of them.


    To be precise, Li Yuan¡¯s normal three meals a day would end up costing nearly three hundred coins per day.


    At least eight thousand Blue Star coins a month.


    And that was still not enough to support Li Yuan¡¯s normal cultivation; he occasionally had to consume various expensive vitality potions and supplements.


    If you include physiotherapy, his monthly expenses were a startling number.


    This was also because Li Yuan was a student and could always cultivate in the school¡¯s martial arts classroom, where various training equipment like cold weapons, sandbags, and areas for practicing spear technique were well-equipped.


    The effects couldn¡¯t compare to a private martial arts cultivation room, but the advantage of the school¡¯s martial arts classroom was that it was free.


    If one were to go to a formal martial hall in society? The rent was charged by the hour, and ordinary families simply couldn¡¯t afford it.


    The martial path is a gold-swallowing beast; it¡¯s not just a saying.


    This was also the reason Li Yuan longed to be admitted to one of the top five prestigious schools.


    Because supporting his martial arts cultivation had already become very difficult for his uncle and aunt to continue.


    ¡­


    Leaving the cafeteria.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, we¡¯re heading off to the academic building, see you tomorrow,¡± Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou said to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    In this era, starting from freshman year, students would study academic courses in the morning and engage in martial arts cultivation in the afternoon.


    In the evening? It was up to the students to choose, depending on the path they wanted to take.


    There are only twenty-nine Martial Arts Universities across Xia Country.


    While there are more than a thousand cultural universities nationwide.


    If one applies for Martial Arts University, their academic scores are converted and account for 10% of the total.


    If one chooses the academic course route, martial arts scores are converted and account for 30% of the total score.


    Though the decision to pursue the martial path or the academic path is made at the time of choosing preferences, the vast majority of students start leaning towards one since their freshman year.


    Li Yuan returned to the martial arts classroom.


    Glancing around, he saw that there were less than ten people left in the classroom, which was empty.


    Most of the students from Class 3 (2) were focused on academic courses, which was the choice of the vast majority of students.


    ¡°Getting into Martial Arts University is indeed difficult,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Every year, there were millions of students taking the college entrance exam in Jiangbei Province.


    The only Martial Arts University in Jiangbei, ¡®Jiangbei Martial Arts University¡¯, admits no more than ten thousand students each year, making up less than 1% of all applicants.


    As a key school in the province, the Guan Mountain District¡¯s First High School also rarely sees its students exceed a hundred admissions to Martial Arts Universities each year.


    The sky was not yet dark.


    Most of the ten or so people in the classroom were idly chatting with each other.


    The evening martial arts practice was unsupervised by teachers; it relied entirely on self-discipline.


    ¡°Li Tianyou.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze flicked towards a figure in the corner of the classroom.


    The boy was about 1.8 meters tall, with a somewhat thin face, wearing a martial outfit, silent, and seriously practicing the Basic Cultivation Method.


    He wasn¡¯t disturbed at all by the chatter of others.


    Seeing the sweat dripping from his forehead, it was evident that he had been cultivating for a while.


    ¡°He¡¯s such a studious one!¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, ¡°Deserving of being the top studious person in the class.¡±


    Without disturbing the others,


    Li Yuan took out his spear from his weapon locker, chose an open spot in the classroom, and began practicing his spear technique.


    Why not practice the Basic Cultivation Method?


    Because Li Yuan would get up at around 3 am every day to come to the school and practice the Basic Cultivation Method alone in the empty martial arts classroom for more than two hours.


    Then, shortly before 6 am, he¡¯d go to the cafeteria for breakfast, then to the academic classroom for self-study.


    In the afternoon, he¡¯d practice the Cultivation Methods for two hours with everyone else.


    Every day¡¯s cultivation should be divided into two to three sessions, lasting four hours for optimal results; this has been verified by numerous martial arts experts through repeated experiments.


    Life evolution and the tempering, recovery, and growth of the body and bones take time.


    Too much can be as bad as not enough.


    With the remaining time, Li Yuan was able to delve into his spear technique and movement technique.


    Two hours later,


    The school bell echoed through the campus, and the students in the classroom had already left one by one. Aside from Li Yuan, who was still practicing his spear technique, the only other person left was Li Tianyou, still cultivating his sword technique.


    Suddenly,


    In Li Yuan¡¯s field of vision, a message popped up that only he could see.


    [Your spear technique realm has increased from Third Stage 36% to Third Stage 37%.]

 Chapter 9 - 7 The Home at Midnight (Seeking Monthly Tickets for Binge Reading)

    Chapter 9: Chapter 7 The Home at Midnight (Seeking Monthly Tickets for Binge Reading)


    ¡°Improved to 37%?¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t even noticeably felt it myself, yet the Divine Palace panel has already sensed it with precision,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed faintly. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Divine Palace panel couldn¡¯t directly enhance Li Yuan¡¯s martial arts cultivation.


    But its greatest benefit was to reflect Li Yuan¡¯s effort and progress in a numerical form, like a progress bar.


    Absolutely positive feedback.


    No one doesn¡¯t want to succeed, it¡¯s just that many people worry that their efforts won¡¯t yield results.


    ...


    With the Divine Palace panel, being able to clearly see one¡¯s own progress made Li Yuan¡¯s motivation to cultivate even greater.


    Cultivating was very exhausting.


    ¡°But the rewards of cultivation are great,¡± Li Yuan suddenly exerted himself, and the spear in his hand became a blur as he thrust it forward fiercely.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Faint, ear-piercing shrieks exploded, forming streaks of blurred spear shadows in the air.


    ¡°The practice of martial arts, trying over and over to break the limits of life, is indeed thrilling,¡± Li Yuan suddenly retracted his spear, revealing a trace of a smile.


    Over a hundred years ago, before the cultivation methods were popularized and traditional martial arts prevailed, even ordinary people would get addicted to fitness.


    What more for high-level martial cultivation?


    Li Yuan, in particular, relished the process of his body growing stronger.


    It was exhausting, but very cool.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your spear technique is really amazing,¡± an earnest voice of admiration suddenly sounded.


    Li Yuan turned his head and smiled, ¡°Tianyou, your sword technique isn¡¯t bad either. I remember you had a martial arts skills score of 312 today.¡±


    Li Tianyou, standing to the side, had a thin face, but bright eyes.


    ¡°I can¡¯t catch up to you,¡± Li Tianyou said with a smile, standing tall.


    ¡°It¡¯s nine o¡¯clock, everyone else has left.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept around: ¡°Aren¡¯t you going home?¡±


    The Ministry of Education had stipulated that early self-study began at seven in the morning, and evening self-study ended at nine.


    Six days of classes a week.


    Lower-level cities and counties might be more competitive, but, as a key high school in the provincial capital, it was natural to strictly enforce the schedule.


    ¡°I¡¯ll practice a bit more,¡± said Li Tianyou.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll head back first.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm,¡± Li Tianyou nodded.


    Li Yuan placed the spear back in the weapons cabinet and walked out of the classroom.


    Watching Li Yuan leave,


    the smile on Li Tianyou¡¯s face vanished as he muttered to himself, ¡°Why isn¡¯t my sword technique as formidable as Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique?¡±


    ¡°If only I could awaken the Martial Spirit, that would be great.¡±


    In Senior 3 (2) Class, Li Tianyou¡¯s martial arts grades were consistently in the top five, occasionally even third, but there was a definite gap between him and Wan Xiao, let alone compared to Li Yuan.


    Shaking his head to dispel the multitude of distracting thoughts, Li Tianyou picked up his long sword and continued to earnestly practice his sword technique.


    Outside, the night lingered long.


    Most classrooms had already turned off their lights.


    Only this martial arts classroom remained lit, with Li Tianyou¡¯s slim figure looking somewhat lonely in this moment.


    ¡­


    Under the night sky, on Luoyu Street,


    Li Yuan, having practiced all day and his clothes soaked with sweat, finally boarded the driverless ¡®517¡¯ trolley.


    There were very few people on the bus.


    In an era of a highly developed virtual network and abundant material resources, most people¡¯s work is completed online.


    Even those with offline jobs, most laborers had finished their day and were home.


    ¡°¡­In late August, national authorities and the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s Xia Country branch conducted a joint operation, successfully eliminating a group of Star Realm aquatic races in the Jiangbei Province Xiang River basin, but some did escape, please residents along the river stay alert¡­¡±

    Li Yuan sat on a single seat, pushed open the window, and the wind blew in through the window, looking at the streetscapes passing by outside.


    Very comfortable!


    ¡°Starry sky and love should always advance tirelessly, Star Sea World reminds you that Spring Eye Station is upon us,¡± suddenly, the stop-arrival announcement sounded, pulling Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts back to reality.


    ¡°Star Sea World sure advertises a lot,¡± Li Yuan shook his head secretly.


    He stepped off the bus.


    A few meters away was the entrance to Li Yuan¡¯s residential community¡ªthe Wanhua Platinum Mansion.


    The community¡¯s name sounded grand, but the buildings were quite ordinary, even somewhat run-down compared with the neighboring new community ¡®Xiongchu World.¡¯


    ¡°Welcome home, owner,¡± a gentle female voice sounded.


    Li Yuan entered the community after facial recognition.


    There wasn¡¯t even a security guard at the entrance to the community, just two intelligent robots standing off in the distance.


    Within the community, all buildings were modest 11-story high-rises.


    Due to the constant threat of war over the past decades, the construction of super-tall buildings has been disallowed for years, with most structures around ten stories high and no taller than eighteen stories.


    Although over twenty years old, the Wanhua Platinum Mansion was still relatively well-maintained.


    Li Yuan¡¯s home was in building two, unit two.


    ¡°Little Yuan, classes are over?¡± An elderly couple was jogging slowly along the green belt of the community.


    ¡°Yes, Granny Sun, you¡¯re exercising again huh?¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    Although this was a commercial district, most people who bought homes here years ago were employees of the same state-owned enterprise, enjoying a discounted price.


    So, in some sense, this neighborhood could be considered a welfare housing community provided by the company.


    With so many years passed,


    many residents in the community knew each other well.


    ¡°Granny Sun and her husband are almost ninety years old, but they¡¯re still strong and even haven¡¯t purchased a home robot,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°According to the books, over a hundred years ago, the average lifespan was only seventy or eighty years.¡±


    Thanks to the widespread practice of cultivation methods, except for accidental deaths, the average lifespan of people on Blue Star had surpassed one hundred years, with the average lifespan in Xia Country being even closer to one hundred and ten years.


    For those who became Entry Rank Martial Artists, their lifespan was even more astounding.


    Li Yuan had just reached the foot of his building.


    ¡°Brother?¡± A surprised young girl¡¯s voice rang out from not far off.


    ¡°Bro~¡± Another young boy¡¯s voice sounded.


    Thump~thump~thump~ Two youngsters around the age of twelve or thirteen, both dressed in loose martial arts uniforms, jogged over from a shadowy area not far away.


    ¡°Qian Qian, Muhua,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you gone home yet?¡±


    The girl was pretty and lively, with fair skin and bright eyes.


    The boy had a youthful face, but he was almost as tall as Li Yuan and half a head taller than the girl.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua.


    They were indeed the fourteen-year-old twin son and daughter of Li Yuan¡¯s uncle and aunt, both in their second year of junior high.


    ¡°Brother, we just came back from the Martial Arts Room,¡± Li Qianqian said cheerfully, clinging to Li Yuan¡¯s arm and swinging it.


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, ¡°How was it?¡±


    Each neighborhood has a public sports hall, as mandated by the government. Funded by the state, managed and operated by property management companies, it is free for residents to use.


    ¡°Not so good, there were too many people, not much space to practice,¡± Li Muhua shook his head.


    ¡°At your age, you should still focus on building a foundation, practice more standing poles, and contemplate the cultivation methods,¡± Li Yuan advised. ¡°Especially you, Muhua. You¡¯ve already awakened your Martial Spirit; you should be even less hasty in your practice.¡±


    Li Muhua had a high martial arts talent.


    Li Qianqian¡¯s talent was much less, but her academic performance was very good.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Muhua nodded, then as if he recalled something, he said, ¡°Brother, I remember today was the day your school tested for Martial Spirit, right?¡±


    Li Qianqian also looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°No success,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently, not seeming to care too much.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua exchanged glances.


    ¡°Brother, don¡¯t be discouraged. Even without a Martial Spirit, you can still get into Martial Arts University,¡± Li Qianqian giggled. ¡°Let¡¯s go home first, Mom was just messaging me, asking when we would be back.¡±


    ¡°Brother, go get the package from the property management,¡±


    Li Qianqian tugged at Li Yuan¡¯s sleeve, heading towards the elevator.


    ¡°Sis, I got the package last time, it¡¯s your turn this time,¡± Li Muhua said helplessly.


    ¡°Good little brother¡ª.¡±


    ¡°Qian Qian, go with Muhua,¡± Li Yuan patted Li Qianqian¡¯s head.


    ¡°Brother!!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Click~¡± The door opened.


    ¡°Mom, brother came back with us,¡± Li Qianqian called out even before entering the door.


    ¡°Is everyone back?¡±


    A voice also came from inside the house.


    Li Yuan followed his younger siblings into the house, entering last after scanning the room, which was not small.


    Four bedrooms and a living room, spanning a hundred and thirty square meters.


    It was clearly visible that various decorations were somewhat outdated.


    ¡°Uncle, Auntie,¡± Li Yuan saw his uncle and aunt coming out of the bedroom. The auntie was wearing a long-sleeved nightgown, her face without makeup.


    The uncle was somewhat overweight, his skin was dark, but his clothes were very neat, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, long pants, and sports shoes meant for going out.


    ¡°Ah Yuan,¡± the auntie smiled when she saw Li Yuan.


    ¡°Qian Qian, go back to your room and wash up. Your dad and I need to speak with your brother,¡± the auntie instructed.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Brother, don¡¯t open my package, I want to open it myself later,¡± Li Qianqian dragged Li Muhua, dropping off the package and heading into her room.


    In the living room,


    only Li Yuan and his uncle and auntie remained.


    ¡°Uncle, another business trip?¡± Li Yuan asked quietly, having noticed the big suitcase in the living room.


    The uncle worked for a state-owned enterprise in civil engineering construction and was constantly traveling across the country, so business trips were a normal part of life.


    ¡°Yes, I just got the notice this afternoon,¡± the uncle nodded.


    ¡°Where to? Why the rush?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    A flicker of hesitation crossed the auntie¡¯s face.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to hide? Yuan is all grown up now,¡± the uncle laughed, then looked at Li Yuan. ¡°I¡¯m going to the Northern Border.¡±


    ¡°Such a rush to go, and to the Northern Border again,¡± Li Yuan was initially surprised, then seemed to realize something, his expression growing tense. ¡°To the Second Level Star Realm ¡®Rob Sea¡¯?¡±

 Chapter 10 - 8 Some things, someone always has to do

    Chapter 10: Chapter 8 Some things, someone always has to do


    ¡°`


    ¡°You saw the news too?¡± Uncle said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The Seven Great Planets are far apart from each other, with numerous Star Realms appearing on each planet.


    The number of Star Realms on Blue Star is considered low compared to the other Seven Great Planets.


    A Star Realm can lead to the deep reaches of the starry sea and foreign civilizations; it is the frontline of the war between human civilization and foreign domains.


    ...


    Wars are common there.


    The highest level Star Realm within the borders of Xia Country is the ¡®Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯ in the Northern Border Province, a Second Level Star Realm that is garrisoned by a large military force all year round.


    In the past few days at school, Li Yuan heard that war had broken out in the Rob Sea Star Realm, but he was not clear about the severity.


    Now it seems it¡¯s quite dire.


    ¡°The Rob Sea war broke out quite suddenly, and headquarters has ordered us to go and support the construction,¡± Uncle said with a smile, appearing very relaxed.


    ¡°We are leaving tonight, on the high-speed train at three in the morning,¡± Auntie said from the side, her eyes filled with worry.


    Li Yuan looked at his uncle with similar concern.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s memory, the impression of his parents is now very vague, since they passed away when he was only two or three years old.


    Li Yuan was raised by his uncle and aunt, who treated him as their own child,


    In Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, his uncle and aunt are equivalent to his parents.


    Uncle, named Li Changzhou, had a decent talent for the Martial Path. He graduated from Jiangbei Martial Arts University and also earned a degree in ¡®Civil Engineering in Hydraulics & Ocean Engineering.¡¯ After graduation, he worked his way up to middle management in a state-owned enterprise, with quite an impressive salary.


    Auntie, named Chen Hui, is a high school math teacher.


    The couple should have accumulated a considerable estate over the decades. Why then do they still live in an old neighborhood?


    Li Yuan knew it was because of him!


    The expenses of his illness and surgery as a child accumulated to over a million Blue Star Coins; later on, the cost of recuperation, various tonics, health care expenses, and biological medicines were substantial.


    Since middle school, cultivating the Martial Path has also been like a gold-eating cave.


    Take his cousin ¡®Li Muhua,¡¯ for example; he revealed a Martial Spirit talent surpassing that of Li Yuan in middle school, even awakening it in the first year of junior high.


    But even now, the variety of cultivation resources Li Muhua receives isn¡¯t as much as Li Yuan had back then.


    His uncle and aunt never said anything about it.


    His younger brother and sister also never felt that Li Yuan was taking their resources.


    But Li Yuan himself felt some guilt towards his uncle and aunt and even his siblings.


    This was also an important reason why Li Yuan began to consciously practice the Martial Path fervently starting in middle school.


    He did not want his uncle and aunt¡¯s hopes to turn into nothing; he was determined to achieve something significant.


    Especially after entering high school, he became even more clear about his goals, hoping to repay his uncle and aunt with his own efforts in the future, and to make up for his brother and sister.


    Just after entering his second year of high school, Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality reached the 5.0 level, and he then awakened the miraculous Mind Spirit Divine Palace, which accelerated his Martial Arts Cultivation tremendously.


    ¡°The Mind Spirit Divine Palace is indeed miraculous, but without personal effort, it¡¯s all in vain,¡± Li Yuan realized this after awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Therefore, he dared not slack off even more.


    ¡°Getting into a Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°And even to be admitted into one of the top five prestigious schools, ultimately becoming a High Rank Martial Artist.¡± This has always been Li Yuan¡¯s aspiration.


    Not just for himself, but for his family as well.


    When he just learned that his uncle was going to the Rob Sea, Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    Uncle Li Changzhou spoke lightly of it.


    But Li Yuan, who frequently followed the news, knew that soldiers and Martial Artists defending against the invasion from foreign civilizations across the Star Realms, were the most dangerous.


    Next were the workers engaged in various military defense constructions.


    This trip for Uncle Li Changzhou was essentially as an engineer.


    You should know, powerful Star Realm Creatures are not stopped by ordinary heavy weapons; only some cutting-edge technological weapons or High Rank Martial Artists can handle them.


    It¡¯s very dangerous.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t fallen ill back then, or if the expenses for Martial Arts Cultivation weren¡¯t so high, Uncle could have stayed comfortably in the city, maintaining municipal works, instead of opting for an external assignment just for that extra subsidy to his salary,¡± Li Yuan thought, his heart feeling even more unpleasant.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xiaoyuan, come into the bedroom, I¡¯ll talk with you slowly,¡± Uncle Li Changzhou called Li Yuan into the master bedroom.


    There were two small stools in the master bedroom, and Li Yuan sat down.


    Uncle sat on the edge of the bed.


    ¡°Clang~¡± Auntie gently closed the door.


    Li Changzhou¡¯s hair was already somewhat sparse, and though he was a bit overweight, he still exuded an air of scholarly grace.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Originally, your aunt advised me not to tell you, worrying that it might affect your senior year studies,¡± Li Changzhou smiled as he looked at Li Yuan, ¡°but I believe that the sons of the Li family should be able to withstand any pressure.¡±


    Aunt Chen Hui remained silent, sitting beside them.


    ¡°Uncle, go on,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    ¡°According to the information I received, several entry and exit points of the Rob Sea defense system have been severely damaged. The casualties of the military and the Starry Sky Martial Hall are significant,¡± Li Changzhou said indifferently, ¡°This attack was held back, but if attacked again, there¡¯s a risk of a complete breach.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath¡ªA complete breach?


    The entrances and exits to the Star Realm are critical gates for human civilization to resist invasions.


    If breached, it would be an absolute disaster.


    Years ago, his parents died in a Star Realm disaster.


    ¡°There¡¯s a risk of death for me this time,¡± Li Changzhou looked calmly at Li Yuan, ¡°In war, where is there no death?¡±


    ¡°Uncle, is there no way for you to avoid going?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Headquarters has requested our presence, but if one truly wishes not to go, there are ways, after all, the country has only issued a level three alert,¡± Li Changzhou laughed.


    Li Yuan listened closely.


    Xia Country had divided its wartime danger response into three alert levels, with level three being the lowest and level one the highest.


    Once a level one alert is activated, it means the entire country will enter a state of war, with a comprehensive mobilization: all citizens and all resources must be ready to obey conscription orders.


    In the past hundred years, Xia Country has only activated level one alert once, in the year 2028.


    Above level one alert is the ¡°Civilization Alert,¡± which can only be issued by the joint decision of the highest council of the Seven Star Alliance and the three major Martial Halls.


    Once issued, it signifies that at least one human planet has fallen into a life or death situation, needing full support from other planets.


    In the centuries since the Alliance was formed, a Civilization Alert has been activated only once.


    However, even the lowest ¡°level three alert,¡± once issued, signifies a significant consumption of resources and a high number of casualties.


    ¡°Little Yuan, I can choose not to go,¡± Uncle Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°But if I don¡¯t, someone else will have to take my place.¡±


    ¡°Someone has to be a part of this war, don¡¯t they?¡±


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    ¡°Am I the only one capable? Such a large company, and it can¡¯t do without me?¡± Aunt Chen Hui suddenly shouted, her eyes faintly red with emotion.


    Li Changzhou had already discussed this with her earlier.


    And in the living room, fearing that Li Qianqian and Li Muhua would notice something amiss, she had held back, showing nothing.


    But now, hearing Li Changzhou¡¯s words, she finally couldn¡¯t hold back and vented out.


    Li Changzhou was taken aback for a moment, then silently reached out to gently hold his wife Chen Hui¡¯s waist, comforting her.


    Chen Hui bowed her head, her eyes red-rimmed, and said no more.


    After a moment.


    ¡°Little Yuan, don¡¯t worry too much,¡± Li Changzhou said after comforting his wife, then turned to Li Yuan, ¡°After all, I¡¯m not going to be fighting hand-to-hand like other martial artists; it¡¯s not that dangerous.¡±


    ¡°Besides, I am at least an Entry Rank martial artist and have some self-protective strength,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile.


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    His uncle had graduated from Martial Arts University, and at his peak, his physical quality surpassed level 12, but after years of working, he was probably at level 10 or 11 now, and many of his combat skills were likely rusty.


    Martial Path is not about immortality; it requires daily diligent practice.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Beep!¡± Li Yuan instantly felt a vibration at his wrist and subconsciously looked at it.


    ¡°Your account ending in 1486 has received 56,000.00 Blue Star Coins¡­ Transferred to the account ending with¡­ Balance of 58,324.12 Blue Star Coins,¡± The display clearly showed a line of text.


    ¡°Uncle?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    He recognized at a glance that the transferring account ended with his uncle Li Changzhou¡¯s number.


    ¡°That¡¯s your living expenses for September and October.¡±


    ¡°With me gone to the Northern Border Province, the network may not be smooth. I¡¯ve sent it all to you today, manage it well,¡± Li Changzhou laughed, ¡°Before, I took you to buy basic Blood Qi Medicinal Liquid from Uncle Zhong; you should have some experience.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve made arrangements with your Uncle Zhong.¡±


    ¡°When you have time over the weekend, go to the Martial Hall and see him,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°Your aunt will transfer the living expenses to you in the future.¡±


    ¡°Aunt,¡± Li Yuan looked towards his aunt.


    ¡°Listen to your uncle,¡± Chen Hui¡¯s mood had somewhat stabilized, her voice cooling down again, ¡°Take the money, and don¡¯t worry about the family.¡±


    Li Yuan was silent, asking no further.


    Right now, his cultivation indeed required money.


    ¡°By the way.¡±


    ¡°Have you thought about the direction of your college entrance exam?¡± Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan.

    Logically, with the pressure of being a senior in high school already immense, it wouldn¡¯t be appropriate to ask such a sensitive question now. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Besides, there were still nine months left until the college entrance exams.


    It was only because Li Changzhou was about to travel far away, and he believed Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t be affected, that he inquired.


    Auntie Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan, as she¡¯d always taken care of his daily life and was naturally concerned.


    ¡°College entrance preferences?¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Uncle and auntie, I still plan to become a full-time martial artist. My first goal is the nation¡¯s five major Martial Path colleges.¡±


    ...


    ¡°If I don¡¯t get admitted, then I¡¯ll strive to enter the ¡®Warrior Class¡¯ at Jiangbei Martial Arts University.¡±


    A full-time martial artist?


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui exchanged a glance, a hint of worry passing between them.


    Not all graduates from Martial Arts University necessarily end up as full-time martial artists.


    Like Li Changzhou, who attended Martial Arts University with decent results, but eventually also majored in other subjects.


    The advantages of a martial artist over ordinary people are comprehensive; even in everyday work, a martial artist¡¯s energy and speed of thought are far superior, increasing the likelihood of making greater achievements.


    However, full-time martial artists, as the name implies, devote themselves entirely to the Martial Path, seeking to go further in it, but it is far more dangerous.


    Because as martial artists train further, advancement often requires enduring various life and death struggles¡­


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, can¡¯t you take up another major simultaneously? After graduating, becoming a civil servant or a martial arts teacher isn¡¯t that good,¡± Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help saying.


    In her eyes, there was no difference between Li Yuan and Li Muhua.


    She saw herself like a mother, most worried about Li Yuan¡¯s safety.


    To her mind, becoming a civil servant or a martial arts teacher was among the best jobs.


    ¡°A full-time martial artist?¡± Li Changzhou didn¡¯t argue, but instead he pondered and asked, ¡°Can you get admitted to one of the five prestigious Martial Path colleges? Doesn¡¯t your school only manage a few admissions a year, and have you awakened to Martial Spirit today?¡±


    Li Changzhou was very aware of the difficulty in being admitted to any of the five prestigious Martial Path colleges.


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University admits ten thousand students a year in Jiangbei Province.


    Yet the five major Martial Path colleges combined only admit about ten thousand students nationwide each year.


    In Jiangbei Province, historically they¡¯ve only admitted a few hundred students per year.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t awakened.¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t awakened, then you¡­¡± Li Changzhou frowned.


    ¡°But in today¡¯s school test, my physical quality was grade 6.5.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°And my Martial Arts Skills score was over 360 points.¡±


    Li Changzhou¡¯s eyes brightened, and he couldn¡¯t hide the excitement on his face.


    He understood the significance of what Li Yuan was saying.


    ¡°Really?¡± Chen Hui was also quite surprised.


    She remembered that although Li Yuan¡¯s scores were also excellent at the end of the previous semester, they seemed not nearly as high as now.


    Especially the physical quality, which had improved by 0.5 grades so suddenly? It was quite astonishing.


    ¡°Xu Bo teacher personally conducted the assessment, and the Martial Arts Skills score is based on college entrance examination standards,¡± Li Yuan added.


    Xu Bo¡¯s assessment?


    Li Changzhou nodded slightly.


    He knew Xu Bo, who even in the entire Guan Mountain District, had some fame.


    Previously, Li Changzhou had heard that Xu Bo became Li Yuan¡¯s teacher in charge of the martial artist class and was very pleased, believing Li Yuan had found a good teacher.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, if you continue like this, not to mention getting into one of the top five colleges, there¡¯s a great chance to get into the ¡®Warrior Class¡¯ at Jiangbei University,¡± Li Changzhou smiled and said, it was the best news he¡¯d heard all day.


    Li Yuan looked at his uncle and aunt, sighing slightly in his heart.


    He had originally planned to surprise them during the January mock tests.


    But now, with his uncle about to travel, Li Yuan thought it over and still wanted his uncle to have some peace of mind.


    For parents, the greatest concern is the safety of their children, followed by their children¡¯s futures.


    ¡°We¡¯re not in a rush to decide on college entrance preferences or whether to become a full-time martial artist; we¡¯ll wait until you get into Martial Arts University and decide in college,¡± Li Changzhou advised, ¡°For now, just focus on working hard.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded vigorously.


    ¡°My trip to the Northern Border, for now, just you be aware of it,¡± Li Changzhou added, ¡°After I¡¯m gone, when you have time, help your aunt take good care of your younger siblings¡­ Alright, you¡¯ve had a long day, go back to your room and rest.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment but in the end didn¡¯t mention the matters of the Third Class scholarship.


    He got up and left the master bedroom.


    The door closed.


    ¡°Old Li,¡± Chen Hui turned to Li Changzhou, with a hint of anger in her tone, ¡°just now, were you supporting Xiao Yuan in becoming a full-time martial artist?¡±


    She was indeed angry.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear his scores?¡± Li Changzhou shook his head, ¡°A Martial Arts Skills score exceeding 360 points, with such a rate of progress¡­ I remember our eldest brother¡¯s Martial Arts Skills score during his college entrance exams was not even this high.¡±


    ¡°You still remember your elder brother.¡± Chen Hui gritted her teeth, ¡°Our elder brother and his wife, back then to save us¡­¡±


    ¡°Enough,¡± Li Changzhou frowned.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want me to talk, but I have to,¡± Chen Hui suddenly stood up, staring at her husband, her eyes slightly red, ¡°Our elder brother and sister-in-law helped us so much, and left only Xiao Yuan behind. Don¡¯t you know how dangerous it is to be a full-time martial artist?¡±


    ¡°How many of your former classmates who chose the path of a full-time martial artist are still alive?¡±


    ¡°I know what you mean,¡± Li Changzhou looked at his wife and sighed softly, pulling her down to sit.


    ¡°But the child is grown up and has his own will.¡±


    ¡°We can only advise, not force,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°After I leave, you can try to persuade him slowly.¡±


    ¡°Besides, the path of a full-time martial artist is not easy to walk.¡±


    ¡°How many students admitted to Martial Arts University don¡¯t aspire to become full-time martial artists? But in the end, very few choose that path.¡±


    ¡°Once he enters university and understands there are always greater talents out there, without us needing to urge him, he will come to his senses,¡± Li Changzhou said.


    Chen Hui finally nodded reluctantly.


    ¡°Wife, keep me company for a bit longer,¡± Li Changzhou pulled his wife into his embrace.


    Chen Hui calmed down, resting against her husband¡¯s chest.


    Time passed.


    Approaching midnight.


    ¡°The kids must all be asleep by now,¡± Li Changzhou finally stood up, whispered, ¡°Wife, I have to go now, or I¡¯ll miss the high-speed rail.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°By the time I get to the Northern Border, the government-promised subsidy of five hundred thousand will come through, and then I¡¯ll transfer it to you.¡±


    ¡°The family¡­ I¡¯ll leave it in your hands.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside Li Yuan¡¯s room.


    The lights were out, with only the faint streetlamp light and moonlight streaming in through the window.


    In the room of less than twenty square meters, besides two wardrobes, there was a miniature home virtual network capsule occupying about two square meters.


    The rest of the area was empty.


    One side of Li Yuan¡¯s wardrobe concealed a Murphy bed designed to be foldable.


    The purpose was to save space, making it convenient for him to practice simple exercises at home.


    However, ever since awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace in his sophomore year, Li Yuan seldom used the Murphy bed, mostly sitting directly on the wooden floor.


    Today was no exception.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan, seated on the floor, perked his ears slightly.


    His strong physical quality gave him hearing beyond that of ordinary people, coupled with the profound silence at night, he was sensitive to the slightest sounds.


    ¡°Uncle is leaving?¡±


    Li Yuan heard the faint sound of the door closing, and like a cat, he got up without making a sound.


    He approached the window.


    Half a minute later, Li Yuan saw his uncle, Li Changzhou, carrying his suitcase, hurriedly walking out the apartment door.


    After taking a few steps, Li Changzhou paused, looked back at the building upstairs, and then without lingering any further, disappeared around the corner of the street.


    Li Yuan stood by the window for a long time.


    ¡°Uncle, are you truly willing to go to the Northern Border?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    That one phrase ¡°Someone has to go¡± from his uncle had greatly moved him.


    From a young age, his uncle had been full of patriotism and had always been guiding Li Yuan.


    Yet, in Li Yuan¡¯s view, the situation in the Northern Border didn¡¯t seem to warrant such a step yet.


    ¡°Uncle is going, not just because of the nation¡¯s call, but perhaps also for that very high subsidy.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly, ¡°Muhua and I are both practicing Martial Path, and the financial pressure on our family is huge.¡±


    He raised his hand.


    Whirr~ Silently, a glimmer of light shot out from Li Yuan¡¯s wrist, forming a transparent holographic projection in front of his chest.


    Displayed was a wealth of war report news regarding the ¡®Rob Sea Star Realm,¡¯ including news about ¡®combat subsidies¡¯ and ¡®support subsidies.¡¯


    ¡°I must get admitted into one of the top five Martial Arts Universities.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, his resolve growing stronger.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan went to the wardrobe near the window and gently pressed it; the door, spring-loaded, popped open.


    In front of Li Yuan, besides clothes, was only a specially crafted metal box with the pattern of an endless starry sky shining brightly on it.


    This was the symbol of the ¡®Starry Sky Martial Hall,¡¯ one of the three great Martial Halls.


    He opened the box.


    ¡°Basic Qi and Blood Elixir.¡± Li Yuan gazed at the two rows of ten bottles of elixir in the box, nine of which were empty, with only one full bottle remaining.


    He took out the last bottle of elixir and held it in his hand.


    ¡°Two thousand per bottle.¡± Li Yuan looked at the exquisite bottle in his hand; its nearly transparent and smooth surface felt slightly cold to the touch.


    This was a specially designed bottle, capable of preserving the effects of the medicine for a long time.


    Through the bottle, one could see the flowing red liquid inside, faintly reddish under the weak moonlight, giving off a sense of vitality and vigor.


    This was the universally used Basic Qi and Blood Elixir.


    Even ordinary meals, including nutritional meals, could only ensure that one¡¯s qi and blood would not be depleted during high-intensity physical training.


    But to improve the speed of physical evolution? That required the use of various precious elixirs and treasures.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, many precious medicines were more effective than the Basic Qi and Blood Elixir, but their prices were far more exorbitant.


    In terms of cost-effectiveness, the Basic Qi and Blood Elixir was among the highest in auxiliary cultivation medicines.


    Yet even so, it cost two thousand Blue Star Coins a bottle.


    Li Yuan needed a bottle every three days for his cultivation.


    Every month, he spent nearly two thousand Blue Star Coins just on Basic Qi and Blood Elixir.


    Plus the cost of daily meals.


    Each month, Li Yuan nearly spent close to thirty thousand Blue Star Coins on cultivation supplies.


    Not to mention clothing expenses, tuition fees, and other costs.


    And with Li Qianqian, Li Muhua¡­ One could imagine the financial pressure his uncle and aunt bore.


    ¡°According to the schedule, I have to drink a bottle today.¡± Li Yuan pulled the stopper off with ease.


    A strange scent wafted through the air.


    ¡°Glug~.¡± Li Yuan skillfully tipped his head back and drank the entire bottle of Basic Qi and Blood Elixir.


    Ensuring not a drop was left.


    He then placed the empty bottle back in the box.


    Soon, Li Yuan felt streams of warmth emanating from within his body, gradually spreading to all parts, eagerly absorbed by his muscles and bones.


    It was very comfortable.


    ¡°After three days of intense cultivation, the effect of the last bottle of Qi and Blood Elixir has mostly worn off, and my muscles and bones are craving for more.¡± Li Yuan was very satisfied with the medicinal effect.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s past midnight, time to practice the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.''¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes.


    Gradually, his mind emptied and his spirit receded inward.


    His consciousness focused on his mind.


    Boom!


    Silently, his consciousness arrived at a mysterious place.


    There, a strange palace floated.

 Chapter 12 - 10

    Chapter 12: Chapter 10 ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture


    This mysterious place, boundless and endless, had no terminus.


    ¡°Mind consciousness.¡±


    ¡°Every time my consciousness comes to my mind world, I am still somewhat shocked,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    The mysterious place was what he had awakened when his physical quality reached Level 5.0.


    After many attempts.


    Li Yuan finally confirmed that this should be the source of his own mind consciousness, that is, the mind world.


    ...


    The so-called mind world, as described in the vast number of Martial Path books bestowed upon Li Yuan, was referred to by powerful martial artists with various names such as the Upper Dantian Palace, the Brain Sea, the Sea of Consciousness, and many others.


    In simple terms¡ªbrain!


    It is the core of life and soul consciousness.


    If Li Yuan wanted to leave, a thought was all it would take.


    ¡°Divine Palace,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness focused on the strange Divine Palace within the mind world.


    This Divine Palace seemingly had four layers from the outside.


    This was the biggest aid to Li Yuan¡¯s rapid increase in strength over the past year.


    Humm~ In the mind world where distance is irrelevant, with a thought from Li Yuan, he had already entered the strange Divine Palace.


    The inside of the Divine Palace was vast and boundless.


    ¡°Divine Palace panel.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the data panel immediately appeared within his field of consciousness.


    The Divine Palace panel appeared when Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness first perceived the mind world and then entered the Divine Palace.


    It was the first benefit he received from this Divine Palace.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness did not enter the Mind Spirit Divine Palace just to wander around aimlessly.


    His consciousness had already taken notice of the only piece of furnishing in the vast palace¡ªthe Jade Platform.


    All red in hue, crystal clear, and upon close observation, engraved with many mysterious patterns that seemed to follow certain special rules, it subtly contained a kind of indescribable magical power.


    ¡°Great Sun Jade Platform,¡± Li Yuan said to himself, the name he had given to the Jade Platform.


    The next moment, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness converged directly upon the Jade Platform, as if he were seated on the peculiar Jade Platform.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s originally active consciousness immediately began to quiet down, and soon the environment around his consciousness changed.


    Beneath him was no longer the Jade Platform, and around him was no longer the first layer of the Divine Palace.


    It had transformed into an infinite starry sky, within which was a resplendent Great Sun, illuminating the endless expanse of stars.


    ¡°Visualize within the heart mansion!¡±


    ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡± the contents of this Visualization Method involuntarily surfaced in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Recorded in the Mysterious Chronicles, ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡¯ is profound and its imagery boundless¡­ The Great Sun hangs high, its flames fierce like a raging fire forging steel, enough to hone one¡¯s will, making it as firm as a rock, fearless in the face of tribulations, an observation of the Great Sun implying shining virtue, dazzling, and invincibly powerful.¡±


    ¡°Ideas extend to stars, filling the heart¡¯s universe, with focused examination bringing all celestial maps within grasp, connecting the threads of latitude and longitude, simulating the laws of heaven and earth, a conception of the Starry Sky containing infinite changes and vibrant life.¡±


    ¡°The Great Sun and Starry Sky merge as one, nurturing the spirit and mental state within the Divine Palace¡­¡± Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness had unwittingly learned the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯ the first time he perceived the Jade Platform.


    It was a magical Visualization Method that could temper the mind consciousness.


    At that moment.


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was faced directly with the blazing Great Sun, as if subjected to the scorching fire, and intense pain instantly swept across his whole body, causing his physique to tremble involuntarily¡­ the agony was immense.


    ¡°This is the torment of the soul, not actual pain, my body will not suffer any injuries,¡± Li Yuan was already familiar with this and tried his best to endure.


    To know, since starting his Martial Arts Cultivation in junior high school, the practice of Martial Path was very strenuous, involving both sweat and blood, especially so with Spear Technique.


    Tired or sleepy? Continue training!


    Hot weather? Train!


    Cold weather? Train!


    After a continuous month of cultivation, and then wanting to lazily rest for a day? No way!


    It could be said that since Li Yuan began Cultivation Methods in Martial Arts with the intention to become a powerful martial artist.


    His determination and willpower far exceeded that of ordinary people, even more so after several years of cultivation.


    Even so, a year ago, when he first trained with the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡¯ Li Yuan only lasted less than ten seconds.


    The pain was truly unfathomable.


    Over the past year, doing so almost every day, not only did it strengthen his spiritual power but also tempered his will.


    ¡°Ideas extend to stars, filling the heart¡¯s universe¡­¡± While enduring the pain, Li Yuan began to exercise the Visualization Method.


    Humm~ Silently, a gentle force emanated from the endless Starry Sky, nourishing Li Yuan¡¯s mind consciousness, gradually restoring his fatigue.


    Enabling him to withstand the scorching of the Great Sun.


    ¡°`


    Time ticked away, second by second¡­ Li Yuan finally managed to hold on for about three minutes.


    Boom! His consciousness shattered.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan opened his eyes, as his consciousness had just returned to clarity. He briefly calmed his mind, then closed his eyes again, concentrating to enter the Mind Spirit Divine Palace once more and began to repeat the process¡­ it was almost like self-torture.


    A quarter of an hour!


    Half an hour.


    An hour.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan received a prompt from the Divine Palace panel:


    [Your spiritual power level has been raised from 12.4 to 12.5]


    ¡­


    ¡°Finally raised another 0.1 level,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, and then without further ado, he continued his persistent cultivation.


    Another hour later.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan tried again, only to find that his consciousness could no longer converge on the Jade Platform.


    He opened his eyes and looked down at his smart ring.


    ¡°It¡¯s 2:11 in the morning.¡±


    ¡°Another two hours of cultivation?¡± This was also something Li Yuan had figured out.


    Cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, he could only continue for a maximum of two hours each day, after which he would no longer be able to carry on.


    Li Yuan hypothesized that cultivating this Method was so painful, with repeated forced exits from the spiritual world, it probably wasn¡¯t completely without cost, it was just that he hadn¡¯t noticed it yet.


    Cultivating for a maximum of two hours per day was very likely a form of self-protection by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°Enough.¡±


    ¡°Just one year of cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture and my spiritual power level has grown from 5.9 when I first entered my second year of high school to now 12.5,¡± Li Yuan noticed another change in his body.


    Compared to the extreme fatigue he felt two hours ago, his body had now completely recovered.


    Symptoms like muscle soreness had disappeared entirely.


    It was as if he had slept deeply for ten hours and then received the most professional physical therapy.


    This was another benefit of cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture ¡ª deep restoration.


    ¡°Comfortable.¡±


    Li Yuan stood up, a smile appearing on his face.


    In addition to his physical state returning to its peak, he could sense that his awareness of his body and his sensitivity to his surroundings had become much clearer.


    ¡°The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the control over the body.¡±


    ¡°In that case, whether I am practicing Spear Technique, movement technique, or the Basic Cultivation Methods, the efficiency will be much higher,¡± there was a glint in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Why had he progressed so rapidly this past year?


    First, it was because of the Divine Palace panel, which let him always know his progress, filling him with motivation to cultivate.


    Second, it was the acquisition of the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture ¡ª this Visualization Method.


    Spiritual power surpassing ordinary people!


    Higher efficiency in cultivation!


    Also allowing his body to recover to its healthiest state in a short time every day, at an extremely fast pace, saving a large amount of physical therapy expenses.


    ¡°People like Wan Xiao and some elite students would go for electric therapy, massage, medicinal baths, and other means of physical therapy to maintain and recover their bodies after arduous training,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°But I reckon none of that can match the additional effects of my cultivating the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    This was a very magical Visualization Method.


    ¡°But no matter how magical the Method, one still has to put in the effort to cultivate it step by step,¡± Li Yuan was clear about this truth.


    Many people have opportunities and encounters.


    For example, being born into the Blue Star¡¯s richest family, isn¡¯t that an opportunity?


    For example, if born into the family of the mightiest warrior of the Seven Star Alliance, isn¡¯t that an opportunity?


    But.


    No matter what kind of opportunities one may have, if one becomes complacent and neglects their cultivation because of them.


    Then in the future, it would be difficult to reach the pinnacle.


    ¡°In this world.¡±


    ¡°Many people are born into wealthy and powerful families, have resources, possess high talent, and also work hard,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself: ¡°If I don¡¯t work hard as well, how can I compare to them?¡±


    Thinking this, Li Yuan stood up.


    ¡°Time to study for the academic subjects,¡± Li Yuan entered the virtual network capsule within his room.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 13 - 11 Martial Path is Me (Four more updates for monthly passes)

    Chapter 13: Chapter 11 Martial Path is Me (Four more updates for monthly passes)


    Li Yuan wore a ¡®smart ring,¡¯ which was similar to early mobile phones but had more powerful functions, such as holographic projection and body condition monitoring. However, it couldn¡¯t connect consciousness to the virtual network.


    And the virtual network pod, as an electronic device essential in every household of this era.


    Only by using it could one connect their consciousness to the virtual network.


    Its appearance resembled those early space capsule gaming consoles.


    ¡°Iris verification!¡±


    ¡°Consciousness connection.¡± Li Yuan laid back in the pod¡¯s chair and put on the neural connection device, feeling the cool metal against his scalp.


    ...


    In an instant, consciousness connected to the virtual network.


    The Blue Star virtual net!


    The Seven Great Planets, separated by the vast expanses of starry sky, hence each planet¡¯s virtual network is relatively independent¡­ at least Li Yuan had no access to the virtual networks of other planets.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness had arrived in a special space.


    He could leave at will, should he choose to.


    ¡°Although the virtual network allows for consciousness connection, it always feels somewhat surreal, unable to achieve a hundred percent realism,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Not to mention achieving a one-to-one replication of body data scanning as depicted in some novels.¡±


    ¡°After all, the virtual can never replace the real.¡±


    However, a virtual network with a realism of up to 70% was already incredibly magical.


    In the few decades since its inception, human civilization underwent an earth-shaking transformation.


    Hu! Hu!


    In Li Yuan¡¯s view, numerous options appeared:


    Study Space (Virtual School/Classroom/Laboratory/Library/Martial Arts Room¡­)


    Virtual City (Jiang City/Capital City/Hacheng/Sucheng¡­)


    Social Space (Music/Friends/Dating/Games¡­)


    Commerce (Virtual Mall/Real Estate/Hotel Reservations)¡­ a myriad of options.


    The vast majority of the options were in color, indicating they were accessible.


    But there were also a few grayed-out options.


    For example: Adult Series (Prohibited for Minors)


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had just turned seventeen not long ago and was not yet an adult.


    ¡°Enter personal study room.¡± Familiar with the process, Li Yuan directly entered his personal study room.


    He began to review academic knowledge.


    Theoretically, students could complete all cultural course learning online, but the virtual network ultimately couldn¡¯t achieve 100% realism.


    Moreover, tangible materials are the hardware, the basis of all virtuality.


    Therefore, places like schools, office buildings, and service halls still existed in reality, and students still needed to attend school.


    Of course, most office work, cultural examinations, company interviews, etc., were completed online.


    For students¡¯ self-study, if they had high self-discipline, they could be more efficient online.


    Li Yuan was one of those highly disciplined individuals.


    After an hour of efficient self-study.


    ¡°The total score for the cultural courses is 1000 points. I scored 658 points in the second-year finals. I aim to reach 700 points this year in my senior year,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself. ¡°I just don¡¯t want to fall too far behind.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s energy is limited.


    Li Yuan had considerable talent in the Martial Path, especially in Spear Technique, where he exhibited great comprehension.


    Even before encountering the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, his Spear Technique was already of Second Stage quality, clearly indicating his aptitude.


    But in academic learning, his talent was admittedly average, definitely not on par with Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou, especially since he devoted little energy to it.


    It wasn¡¯t a surprise that he hadn¡¯t yet managed to score 700 points.


    Even if he did score 700 points, it would still be below average at Guan Mountain District¡¯s top high school.


    This was despite the fact that Li Yuan¡¯s academic performance had improved over the past year as his spiritual power level rose, boosting his study efficiency.


    Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t even be confident of scoring 700 points on the college entrance exam.


    ¡°A polymath?¡±


    ¡°How many polymaths can there be? What I need to do is to fully unleash my strongest point, to be the master of one,¡± Li Yuan had a clear understanding of himself.


    Why did he want to pursue a full-time career as a Martial Artist?


    The first reason was his deep love for it.


    The second reason was that after awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan believed he had much greater hope for major achievements on the Martial Path than on the academic route.


    ¡­


    It was past three in the early morning.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go to school,¡± Li Yuan stepped out of the virtual network pod.


    He slung his bag over his shoulder.


    Without disturbing his aunt, brother, or sisters, he quietly left the house.


    ¡­


    Driverless trams and subways operate 24 hours a day, but after midnight, the intervals between trips become much longer.


    So, Li Yuan often chose¡ªto run to school.


    He considered it a warm-up exercise.


    In the streets at just past three in the morning, aside from street lamps and the occasional passing vehicle, everything was deserted.


    Passing by the corner ¡®Fook Wei Noodle Shop¡¯, he could see the owner had already woken up and started preparing for the day.


    ¡°Boss, good morning,¡± Li Yuan greeted with a smile. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Running at night again, eh? Be careful out there,¡± the apron-clad owner stood up and greeted Li Yuan with a smile.


    They often bumped into each other.


    Not knowing each other¡¯s identities or names, but over time, they had become familiar ¡®strangers¡¯.


    ¡­


    Twenty minutes later, Li Yuan arrived at school.


    Face recognition to enter.


    He went into the classroom, and the lights were on.


    ¡°I¡¯ll start with two hours of Basic Cultivation Method,¡± Li Yuan said as he stood in the corner of the classroom, calming his mind and quickly entering a stance practiced in martial arts.


    His posture was as solid as a rock, coordinating 36 forms of movements with breathing techniques.


    He began a new day of cultivation.


    Solid Rock Foundation Initiation, Rock-breaking Slide, Stance as Steady as a Pillar, Sky-shattering Stone, Hard Smash like Diamond, Mountain Firm as Abyss¡­ These 36 forms were essentially derived from the Solid Rock Fist Technique.


    It was divided into practice method and combat application.


    In reality, Li Yuan even devoted more effort to the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique than to the Spear Technique.


    ¡°Spear Technique can be pondered slowly.¡±


    ¡°But my Martial Spirit is destined not to awaken in a short time, and none of the seven high-rank cultivation methods suit me,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°In that case, I must continue to cultivate using the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique.¡±


    ¡°Even after becoming a Martial Artist, I may still need to rely on this very cultivation technique, so I must diligently study the Solid Rock Fist Technique.¡± Li Yuan was clear in his thoughts: ¡°The higher my Fist Technique Realm, the more efficient my physical cultivation will be.¡±


    Physical quality is the foundation; Spear Technique and movement technique are the weapons that unleash physical quality.


    ¡°Moreover, Spear Technique, movement technique, Fist Technique are essentially the combination of body and mind. Progress in one aspect of martial arts skills can lead to faster improvement in other skills.¡±


    Time passed by.


    Li Yuan practiced tirelessly, and gradually, a faint warm current flowed from his dantian in the waist area, spreading throughout his body to be devoured and absorbed by muscles and bones.


    The basic qi and blood medicinal solution he had taken a few hours earlier was gradually taking effect.


    Muscles became firmer, bone density further increased, and the internal organs were growing more robust¡­ Only with crazy cultivation could the medicinal solution¡¯s effectiveness not be wasted.


    Li Yuan cultivated without showing any signs of fatigue.


    In his mind involuntarily surfaced the famous words of the first martial arts powerhouse of human civilization, ¡®Dongfang Ji¡¯:


    ¡°What is the Martial Path?¡±


    ¡°The Martial Path is not about surpassing others; it¡¯s about pouring every ounce of your blood and passion into daily training, day and night, practicing sixteen hours a day, consistently over a hundred years, and when you look back after another hundred years, you will find that you are the Martial Path!¡±


    ¡°The Martial Path is me.¡±


    ¡­


    Just after four in the morning, the sky still dark.


    ¡°Boom!¡± An intelligent off-road vehicle drove in through the school gate.


    It parked automatically.


    A figure towering like an iron tower and a black-clad woman with a robust figure stepped out of the car.


    Both headed towards the office building.


    ¡°Tie Ta, is this the school you work at?¡± The woman with a firm face and sharp eagle-like eyes gazed across the campus. ¡°This is my first visit to see you since your retirement.¡±


    Xu Bo smiled rarely: ¡°You¡¯re really in a hurry this time, passing through Jiang City and can only stay for four hours.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m here particularly to check on your medication,¡± the black-clad woman glanced at him. ¡°Otherwise, with such urgent tasks, I wouldn¡¯t have stopped in Jiang City at all. Come on, take me to your therapy room for a preliminary examination.¡±


    ¡°If your nerve injury has worsened, the supervisors will have to come up with a new solution for you.¡±


    Suddenly, the black-clad woman halted her steps.


    ¡°A student is already here to practice so early? And he seems to be doing pretty well, his Basic Cultivation Method is nearly perfected, with a high level of control over his body,¡± the black-clad woman said with slight surprise.


    Her gaze drifted toward a nearby building.


    In the entire high school building, only one classroom on the first floor was lit.


    Through the window, one could see a student inside focused on cultivating Fist Technique.


    Each movement was as unmoving as a rock towering on the land, exuding an unshakable aura.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Xu Bo frowned slightly to one side: ¡°He¡¯s already practicing at school this early?¡±


    ¡°Can his body handle that?¡±


    Cultivation should be in moderation.


    In Xu Bo¡¯s view, it was necessary to ensure sufficient sleep, rest, diet, and treatment for efficient cultivation.


    ¡°Considering his vibrant spirit, blood filled with energy, and seemly well-rested state, it appears he¡¯s been resting very well.¡± The black-clad woman commented with a smile: ¡°Tie Ta, do you know him, is he your student?¡±


    ¡°He is my student,¡± Xu Bo said, looking thoughtfully at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we will first visit my Martial Arts Room.¡±

 Chapter 14 - 12: The Ultimate Move

    Chapter 14: Chapter 12: The Ultimate Move ¡°Hidden Dragon in the Gorge


    Xu Bo and the woman in black passed by the classroom. Their breaths were so well concealed, and because they did not observe for long, Li Yuan did not notice them at all.


    He was completely immersed in his own cultivation.


    Although Li Yuan was serious when studying his academic courses, he essentially did it with the mindset of ¡®completing a task¡¯, so it was difficult for his efficiency to reach the highest level.


    But when cultivating his fist technique or spear technique, feeling his physical quality and martial skills gradually improving filled Li Yuan with heartfelt joy.


    Utterly focused.


    Doing one thing well only happens when one is fully immersed and loves it from the bottom of their heart, which is the only way to make the greatest progress.


    ...


    Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.


    Suddenly.


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has increased from 88% at the Third Stage to 89% at the Third Stage.]


    [Your Fist Strength has increased from 426 kg to 427 kg.]


    [Your Speed has increased from 14.4 m/s to 14.5 m/s.]


    Three prompts appeared out of nowhere in Li Yuan¡¯s vision, and his Divine Palace panel data changed accordingly.


    But so engrossed was he in his cultivation that he didn¡¯t even notice the slight improvements to his physical quality.


    It wasn¡¯t until his intelligent wristband suddenly vibrated.


    ¡°Is it already 5:30 am? How time flies,¡± Li Yuan was startled awake.


    He was already sweating profusely.


    ¡°Hm? My physical quality has improved again?¡± It was only then that Li Yuan noticed the reminders on the Divine Palace panel.


    He felt even more satisfied in his heart.


    ¡°A little progress every day, as long as it¡¯s consistently maintained,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Ever since awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace a year ago and learning the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, Li Yuan only needed to meditate for two hours each day. If he could endure the hellish torture of his psyche, his physical exhaustion would vanish completely, rendering better recovery than sleep or deep therapy.


    Since then, he had cultivated the habit of arriving at the school for cultivation at around 3:30 am.


    Even during holidays, he would find a place to cultivate alone at the bottom of his apartment complex.


    Striving to the utmost.


    Only by doing so had he managed to make such rapid progress in the Martial Path over the past year.


    Li Yuan wiped the sweat from his body and put back his towel.


    Suddenly sensing something, he turned to look back.


    ¡°Tianyou? You¡¯re here so early?¡± Li Yuan smiled at the slim figure with the backpack.


    ¡°You got here even earlier than me,¡± Li Tianyou said, also looking surprised at Li Yuan.


    ¡°I just got here a while ago, just put my bag down,¡± Li Yuan, while taking out his long spear, laughed and said, ¡°I left evening self-study earlier than you yesterday, so I need to work harder in the morning.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Li Tianyou looked at Li Yuan, puzzled.


    He could no longer remember how many times this had happened.


    Every time after evening self-study, he was the last one to leave the classroom, which is why he was called the ¡®First Study King¡¯ by his classmates.


    But!!


    Li Tianyou alone knew that no matter whether he arrived at the classroom at 6:30 am, 6:15 am, or even 6:00 am, one figure was always there before him¡ªLi Yuan.


    Today, he deliberately arrived at 5:40 am.


    Li Yuan was already standing in the classroom.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    Not far away, Li Yuan took out his long spear and silently began to practice his spear technique.


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan arrives at school every day at 5:30 am, or even earlier?¡± Li Tianyou couldn¡¯t help but think as he watched Li Yuan.


    He immediately shook his head.


    Impossible!


    ¡°My home is just a street away from school, pretty close.¡±


    ¡°When I occasionally arrive around 5 am, I feel a bit sleepy during the day,¡± Li Tianyou thought to himself. ¡°If I want to stay fully energized throughout the day, I should get up at 6:15 am.¡±


    Li Tianyou was equally disciplined.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s family is only slightly better off than mine, so he can¡¯t afford high-level therapy, and he lives so far away¡­ If he wants to get to school by 5:30 am, he has to get up at 5 am. His body can¡¯t handle that.¡±


    ¡°He must be like me, only occasionally coming to school for practice early in the morning.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that these few times, we happened to bump into each other,¡± Li Tianyou guessed.


    He didn¡¯t dwell on it and started practising the Basic Cultivation Method on his own.


    Until 6:30 am.


    It was broad daylight by then, and a few classmates began to trickle into the Martial Path classroom.


    ¡°You two study kings are here again?¡± Several classmates teased, and then they all began to practice on their own.


    It wasn¡¯t that the students of Class 3(2) didn¡¯t work hard; rather, most of them focused on academic courses, and even if they arrived early, they would likely head to an academic classroom to review.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    Li Yuan put his long spear back into the weapon cabinet and left the classroom to go to the canteen.


    It was time for breakfast.


    Eating three meals a day, at set times, adjusting for snacks or portions according to what the body needs.


    That is the basic code of conduct for a Martial Path student.


    After breakfast.


    Li Yuan went straight to the cultural classroom, beginning a morning of cultural lessons.

    Day after day.


    Li Yuan practiced methodically.


    For senior year students¡ªwhether they focused on cultural studies or the Martial Path.


    The process was incredibly dull and depressing.


    But Li Yuan was clear, there were no actual geniuses in the real sense.


    ¡°Genius¡± has always been 99% perspiration plus 1% talent, and sometimes, when breaking through a bottleneck, that 1% of talent is indeed more important.


    However, without the 99% perspiration, no matter how high one¡¯s talent, it would ultimately be a castle in the air.


    Because the world never lacks geniuses.


    What is always lacking are hardworking geniuses.


    ¡­


    Day after day, time flew, and it was suddenly mid-September.


    During this time, Li Yuan made time to visit the ¡®Starry Sky Martial Hall Guan Mountain District branch¡¯ and purchased a whole box of basic blood Qi liquid from Uncle Zhong for 19,000 Blue Star Coins.


    Uncle Zhong, a friend of his Uncle Li Changzhou, was an Entry Rank martial artist and a member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, who helped to buy the basic blood Qi liquid with a discount.


    Even so, this expense still made Li Yuan¡¯s heart ache.


    But it had to be spent.


    If he didn¡¯t have the basic blood Qi liquid, his progress in physical quality would be at least halved.


    Even his body might not be able to withstand such frantic training, resulting in a deficit.


    The Martial Path required not only talent and effort but also financial investment.


    All three were indispensable.


    And now, it had been over ten days since Teacher Xu Bo promised the ¡°Third Class scholarship¡±.


    Li Yuan was eager at heart.


    But during this period, whether it was during his Martial Path classes or when he encountered Teacher Xu Bo during the breaks, Li Yuan never mentioned it.


    It was as if such a conversation had never taken place between them.


    ¡°This scholarship, I can only wait for it, I must not ask for it,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Because, he wasn¡¯t entitled to it.


    If Teacher Xu Bo had kept silent all this time, he must have encountered some difficulties.


    To ask proactively would only displease the other party.


    ¡­


    Before long, another five days had passed.


    The moonlight was hazy, scattering a cool brilliance over the oil cypress path outside the senior teaching building.


    In the spacious Martial Path classroom of senior year (Class 2), a dozen students were each practicing on their own.


    On one side of the field, Li Yuan was immersed in practicing his Spear Technique.


    Standing there, his entire presence was like an immovable rock, emanating an invisible pressure, with both hands holding the spear.


    He repeatedly practiced various techniques with the long spear.


    ¡°Pff!¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The tip of the spear drew invisible arcs through the air, creating afterimages, swift as a gale with aggressive, straight thrusts.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, firm as a Solid Rock Pillar, the spear shadows flowed endlessly.


    Each turn, lift of the spear, thrust, and parry by Li Yuan landed precisely on the points he had envisioned in his mind.


    With his spine arching and waist twisting, the muscles and bones throughout his body moved along with the long spear, reaching a high realm of unity between body, heart, and weapon.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan, who had just taken a defensive stance with his spear, suddenly lunged forward with a powerful thrust as if a dragon lurking in a myriad of rocky ravines unleashed its power.


    The might of this thrust was hidden to the extreme before its burst.


    But when the thrust exploded forward, its ferocity reached the ultimate extreme.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The spear shadows instantly blurred, and the air itself seemed to crackle.


    This scene.


    Astonished all the surrounding students, who couldn¡¯t help but turn their heads to look at the move Li Yuan had just executed.


    ¡°Finally, I¡¯ve fully perfected this killing move.¡±


    ¡°Dragon Hidden in the Gorge!¡± Li Yuan retracted his spear, a faint light flickering in his eyes: ¡°With this move, combined with the killing move ¡®Solid Rock Pillar¡¯ I created before, one offensive and one defensive supporting each other.¡±


    ¡°I am now fully capable of surpassing 500 points in the Gold Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.¡±


    The Combat Network had long established a rule.


    If one could reach 500 points in the Gold Stage before the age of eighteen, they would be rewarded with 50,000 Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly noticed a reminder on the Divine Palace panel.


    [Your Spear Technique Realm has progressed from the Third Stage at 40% to the Third Stage at 46%]

 Chapter 15 - 13 Xu Bos Test

    Chapter 15: Chapter 13 Xu Bo¡¯s Test


    ¡°Creating this unique move, my Spear Technique Realm has increased by 6%?¡± Li Yuan revealed a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth.


    Such an improvement was within his expectations.


    Li Yuan remembered that during the second semester of his junior year, as the final exams approached, his Spear Technique Realm had been stuck at 99% at the Second Stage, unable to break through.


    Teacher Xu, at that time, had given him three pieces of advice.


    First, both Fist Technique and movement technique are combinations of body and mind. As you gradually improve control over your body to mobilize its strength to the utmost, both Fist Technique and movement technique will often continue to improve, and vice versa.


    Second, Spear Technique is a weapon! The essence of practicing Spear Technique is the integration of body, mind, and weapon. As the weapon is an external object, not an inherent part of the body, it is more difficult to cultivate; however, a weapon can exert terrifying fighting power beyond the body¡¯s strength.


    ...


    Third, when you hit a bottleneck in spear practice, try transforming fists into spears!


    ¡°Historically, the ¡®Xingyi Quan¡¯ in traditional martial arts evolved from spear skills,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Integrating the force and technical variations of Spear Technique into bare-handed Fist Technique truly transforms the spear into a fist.¡±


    ¡°In this era, with Cultivation Methods like stance practices and Breathing Techniques complementing each other, the efficiency of body cultivation far exceeds that of the ancients. The entire human civilization has embarked on the road of Life Evolution, repeatedly breaking the limits of life, and ultimately giving rise to Martial Artists capable of soaring through the heavens and earth, but the fundamental principles of Martial Arts Skills remain unchanged.¡± Li Yuan reviewed the past. ¡°The ¡®Solid Rock Fist Technique¡¯ and the traditional Xingyi Quan have a similar ingenuity and can also be transformed into Spear Technique.¡±


    This was the direction that Li Yuan chose after receiving guidance from Teacher Xu Bo.


    It was also one of the reasons why Li Yuan had so fervently studied the ¡°Solid Rock Fist Technique.¡±


    Fist Technique, Spear Technique, and movement technique were never independent of each other but promoted each other.


    During the final exams of his junior year, Li Yuan had not managed to break through.


    Therefore, during the vacation, he did not relax at all and kept pondering relentlessly.


    With his spiritual power further enhanced, finally, in the half-month before school resumed.


    Li Yuan took the basic spear skills as the cornerstone and combined the core secrets of the ¡°Solid Rock Fist Technique¡± to create his very first real Spear Technique move¡ªSolid Rock Pillar.


    This move combined the two moves from the Solid Rock Fist Technique, ¡®Solid Rock Foundation Initiation¡¯ and ¡®Force like a Steady Pillar,¡¯ into Spear Technique.


    Both the ¡°Solid Rock Cultivation Technique¡± and the ¡°Solid Rock Fist Technique¡± prioritize the foundation and energy from the ground, and they are the strongest in defense among the Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods.


    This Spear Technique move was also a defensive one.


    Creating ¡®Solid Rock Pillar¡¯ enabled Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique Realm to break through from 99% at the Second Stage to the Third Stage in one fell swoop.


    At the beginning of the school term, during the test and the sparring with Teacher Xu Bo, it was also because of this unique move that Li Yuan was able to withstand more than ten moves.


    A defensive spear move would only save your life.


    To kill an enemy? You must attack.


    Therefore, in these two months, Li Yuan had been thinking about how to create an attack move.


    ¡°Solid Rock Fist Technique excels in defense, so creating a defensive ultimate move is easy, but creating an attack move is difficult.¡±


    The Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods include seven Fist Techniques, like the ¡°Blazing Flame Fist Technique¡± and the ¡°True Gold Fist Technique,¡± which are good at attacking and can more easily create attacking ultimate moves.


    Through repeated practice of both Fist Technique and Spear Technique.


    As his Skill Realm rose higher, it was only after referencing the concept of ¡®Turnabout Spear¡¯ that Li Yuan finally had a breakthrough.


    ¡°Turnabout Spear is about feigning weakness before an enemy, pretending to retreat and then suddenly turning around to counterattack¡ªit¡¯s a mounted spear skill,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°My Solid Rock Spear Technique excels in defense, whether it¡¯s in the circulation of vigor, footwork, or the way I hold the spear, there¡¯s an innate tendency towards defense.¡±


    ¡°Then, the moment I take the initiative to attack, during the switch between spear moves, it¡¯s easy for the enemy to discern the feint from the real attack.¡± Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The only way is to counterattack.¡±


    ¡°To use defense as offense, waiting until the enemy is careless or becomes weary after a fierce attack, then suddenly strike with a lethal move.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with determination.


    On this principle, Li Yuan finally created the killing move ¡®Hidden Dragon in the Gorge.''¡±


    ¡°Based on the single sessions of Martial Arts lessons these past two weeks and Teacher Xu¡¯s personal guidance,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°The First Stage and Second Stage are the foundation of skills.¡±


    In the most recent lessons.


    Teacher Xu Bo always provided personal guidance to Li Yuan.


    ¡°The Third Stage Realm emphasizes the integration of body, mind, and weapon, striving to use one hundred percent of the body¡¯s strength,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°The Spear Technique and Fist Technique that I normally execute instinctively can¡¯t fully utilize my strength.¡±


    ¡°Only when I find the opportunity to apply an ultimate move can I achieve it.¡±


    Only those moves that can fully unleash the body¡¯s strength can be considered ultimate or killing moves.


    So far, the ultimate moves that Li Yuan had created were only two.


    ¡°Moving forward, if I can create more ultimate moves,¡± Li Yuan gradually clarified his future path. ¡°Even to the extent that someday, every punch or spear thrust I make could achieve perfection in the circulation of vigor and weapon power without wasting any strength, then my Martial Arts Skills will be able to break through to the Fourth Stage Realm.¡±


    In the lectures by Teacher Xu Bo.


    The so-called ¡®Fourth Stage Realm¡¯ has another name¡ªUnity with the Weapon.


    Also known as ¡®Body-Mind-Weapon Integration.¡¯


    In ancient times, if one¡¯s skills reached the Fourth Stage, they could barely qualify to be called a ¡®Spear Technique Master¡¯ or ¡®Fist Technique Master.¡¯


    ¡°Unity with the weapon? That¡¯s a bit far off,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly. ¡°Step by step, let¡¯s continue to ponder more ultimate moves.¡±


    Each ultimate move is essentially a specific way for the body to exert force perfectly.


    The more ultimate moves created, the more perfected the body¡¯s overall power-generation techniques become, and ultimately, one would naturally step into the Fourth Stage Realm.


    ¡°Whew!¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Tssk!¡± Li Yuan continued to practice his Spear Technique, becoming more familiar with the ¡°Dragon Hidden in the Ravine¡± move.


    ¡°The day after tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°The day after tomorrow is a holiday, I¡¯ll have enough time, so I¡¯ll work hard to get my points up to the Gold Stage with 500 points,¡± Li Yuan resolved.


    Can¡¯t wait for the scholarship.


    If he wanted to lessen the financial burden on his family, he¡¯d have to find his own way.


    The prize money of fifty thousand from the Starry Skies Fighting Network had been on Li Yuan¡¯s mind for quite some time.


    ¡­


    Office building, first floor.


    Teacher Xu Bo¡¯s office was exceedingly spacious.


    ¡°This kid, he¡¯s progressing really fast,¡± Xu Bo, standing in the middle of the Martial Arts Room and built like a tower, dressed in a martial arts uniform, remarked.


    In front of him.


    A mass of light coalesced to form an image on a light screen about two meters high and two and a half meters wide.


    The screen displayed the martial arts classroom of class Senior Three (2).


    And the enlarged image showed Li Yuan practicing his ¡°Dragon Hidden in the Ravine¡± Spear Technique.


    ¡°He really can keep his cool, hasn¡¯t asked me about it after all this time; the kid sure is steady,¡± Teacher Xu said, a hint of teasing in his smile.


    As the homeroom teacher and a special-grade instructor of the school, he had high-level access and could freely pull up class surveillance footage.


    Thus, upon seeing that Li Yuan arrived at school past four o¡¯clock that day.


    He began to pay special attention to Li Yuan and pulled up a significant amount of past surveillance records.


    This investigation, even for someone accustomed to big scenes like Xu Bo, was somewhat surprising.


    He found that Li Yuan had been coming to school after three o¡¯clock every day for a year.


    Without ever taking a break.


    ¡°Determined, persistent, he¡¯s a promising student,¡± Teacher Xu thought. ¡°Moreover, my previous speculation was correct; his family¡¯s conditions are only average. The fact that his body can withstand such intense training demonstrates that his physical talent is truly remarkable.¡±


    Teacher Xu was unaware of the existence of the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    He attributed Li Yuan¡¯s ability to endure daily arduous training, yet still be full of vigor, to ¡®exceptional talent.¡¯


    His standards were incredibly high, and he knew that there are many unique geniuses in this world.


    The abilities that Li Yuan displayed weren¡¯t anything special to him.


    What Teacher Xu valued most were Li Yuan¡¯s persistence and comprehension.


    ¡°Having talent isn¡¯t everything,¡± he said.


    ¡°But it¡¯s crucial to make the effort to realize that talent,¡± he added.


    However, even after thoroughly investigating, besides providing normal guidance in his teaching, Teacher Xu had yet taken no particular action.


    He wanted to observe and test Li Yuan further.


    Should he use his resources and connections to nurture someone with talent just because he had it? Who said he had to? Li Yuan wasn¡¯t Teacher Xu¡¯s own son.


    Just a student.


    That was why he was going to use the issue of the ¡®scholarship¡¯.


    To see what kind of character Li Yuan had.


    If Li Yuan couldn¡¯t wait more than a few days and became impatient to inquire, Teacher Xu would understand, as it¡¯s human nature. He would apply for the scholarship, and even help get a Second Class Scholarship, fulfilling his duty as a teacher.


    But he wouldn¡¯t do more than that, because the talented individuals worthy of Teacher Xu¡¯s attention shouldn¡¯t just be ¡®ordinary people.¡¯


    ¡°It¡¯s about time.¡±


    ¡°Since it¡¯s his Senior year, I can¡¯t delay him too long, and besides, he¡¯s still a kid after all, my demands can¡¯t be too harsh,¡± Teacher Xu gazed at the light screen and said, ¡°Black Dog, help me connect with Principal Tan.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    ¡°Beep¡ªbeep¡ª¡± The projected image changed.


    Shortly after.


    An office scene appeared on the screen, where a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in front of a desk.


    If Li Yuan saw the man, he would definitely recognize him as the school¡¯s principal, ¡®Tan Zhenlong¡¯.


    Tan Zhenlong, his actual age over seventy years old.


    In this era, the normal retirement age is eighty; if one is a Martial Artist, they may choose to delay retirement to a hundred years old.


    ¡°Old Tan,¡± Teacher Xu said bluntly.


    ¡°Xu Bo,¡± Principal Tan smiled and asked, ¡°Calling me this late, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°I want to apply for a Special Scholarship spot, approve it,¡± Teacher Xu said straightforwardly.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 16 - 14 Special Scholarship

    Chapter 16: Chapter 14 Special Scholarship


    ¡°`


    ¡°Special Scholarship?¡± Principal Tan, who was going through documents, had his smile freeze on his face.


    He doubted his ears, ¡°Xu Bo? Did you say special?¡±


    ¡°What else?¡± Xu Bo glared, ¡°Old Tan, cut the chatter and just hurry up and approve it.¡±


    Principal Tan felt a headache coming on.


    As a principal, his power was substantial; in theory, all teachers were his subordinates¡­ but Xu Bo had a special status.


    ...


    ¡°Xu Bo, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to approve it for you.¡± Principal Tan lifted his eyelids and said helplessly, ¡°A Special Scholarship isn¡¯t just a First Rank Scholarship. A First Rank Scholarship is only a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins, which I can approve directly.¡±


    ¡°A Special Scholarship is five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins. Even if I agree, it still has to be reported up to the Education Bureau.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Xu Bo nodded as if it were a matter of course, ¡°After you approve it, I¡¯ll give Director He a call.¡±


    Principal Tan was startled.


    The Director He that Xu Bo mentioned was his immediate supervisor.


    Principal Tan understood that Xu Bo wasn¡¯t terrifyingly powerful; after an injury, his Physical Quality was just at the level of 19, but having survived in the Star Realm for over twenty years and still coming back alive¡­ his connections were unfathomably deep.


    To Principal Tan¡¯s knowledge, when Xu Bo first came to Guan Mountain District¡¯s Number One High School, it was Director He who personally escorted him.


    ¡°Xu Bo.¡± Principal Tan shook his head, ¡°If you want me to agree, you at least have to tell me why. Which student is it? Or is it a promising seedling from some middle school?¡±


    Principal Tan knew Xu Bo well.


    He was very strict in teaching students, but equally responsible, often considering the students¡¯ welfare.


    He was the school¡¯s leading star teacher.


    Otherwise, even with Xu Bo¡¯s extensive connections, Principal Tan wouldn¡¯t care much about him.


    As for suspecting that Xu Bo would embezzle the five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins? That had never crossed Principal Tan¡¯s mind.


    You see, Xu Bo¡¯s office¡­ he had spent millions of Blue Star Coins to renovate it himself¡­ the wealth accumulated by a powerful Martial Artist who had wandered the Star Realm for many years is quite astonishing.


    ¡°There is a promising seedling, but not from middle school.¡± said Xu Bo, ¡°He¡¯s from the third year of high school.¡±


    ¡°A high school third-year promising seedling worthy of a Special Scholarship?¡± Principal Tan was slightly surprised.


    He didn¡¯t recall such a student.


    The scholarship took into account many aspects like academic performance, family background, talent, and political connections.


    ¡°I¡¯ll send you the information.¡± Xu Bo said.


    Soon enough, Principal Tan received the online data and immediately began reviewing it. With over fifty years of experience working in the education field¡­ his capabilities were strong.


    ¡°Xu Bo, this Li Yuan is indeed a promising seedling with great potential. It¡¯s to your credit that you discovered him.¡± Principal Tan first praised Xu Bo¡¯s eye for talent.


    Immediately afterward, he switched tones, ¡°But to be nominated for a Special Scholarship? To be honest, Li Yuan is still lacking a bit.¡±


    ¡°What is he lacking?¡± Xu Bo¡¯s face showed displeasure, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see his Spear Technique video?¡±


    ¡°I saw it, it¡¯s impressive.¡±


    Principal Tan shook his head, ¡°But the scholarship is issued by the state, and it¡¯s not just up to me and Director He to approve, the Intelligent Supervision Bureau also has to pass it.¡±


    ¡°The Intelligent Supervision Bureau doesn¡¯t have manual reviews, they only acknowledge official exam results, and whether Martial Spirit has awakened is also a significant indicator.¡±


    ¡°In the last term exam, he just made it into the top thirty of his year, and he hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit¡­ it¡¯ll be difficult to pass the final review.¡± Principal Tan explained.


    ¡°With his current strength, he has the potential to break into the top twenty of his year.¡± Xu Bo glared.


    ¡°That¡¯s your claim.¡± Principal Tan shook his head, ¡°The Intelligent Supervision Bureau only recognizes official exam results; we¡¯d at least have to wait until the January re-examination.¡±


    ¡°January re-examination?¡± Xu Bo showed displeasure, ¡°That¡¯s still several months away, the iron¡¯s going to get cold.¡±


    ¡°Old Tan, you¡¯re also a Martial Artist, you know how important this age is.¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°What resources can you directly allocate now?¡±


    ¡°Now?¡±


    Principal Tan thought for a moment, ¡°Second Class Scholarship, I can directly approve that.¡±


    ¡°Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins? Not enough.¡± Xu Bo flatly shook his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s all the authority I have on hand.¡± Principal Tan spread his hands and then added, ¡°Alright, how about this, I¡¯ll also give him access to an independent Martial Arts Room, which is the treatment for the top ten in the grade.¡±


    Xu Bo frowned, seemingly still not satisfied.


    ¡°Xu Bo, that¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°For a third-year high school student, fifty thousand is enough to buy two or three months¡¯ worth of basic vitality fluid.¡± Principal Tan said, ¡°Wait until the January re-examination, if he can break into the top twenty of his year, I¡¯ll help apply for a First Rank Scholarship.¡±


    ¡°Top twenty of his year? Old Tan, I have to say, you really undervalue people.¡± Xu Bo shook his head, ¡°Li Yuan has a complete chance of breaking into the top ten by the January re-examination.¡±


    This time, Principal Tan laughed.


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s almost impossible for him to aim for the top ten of his year,¡± said Principal Tan with a laugh, ¡°If he can really do it¡­ well, I¡¯ll do my best to help him apply for the Special Scholarship.¡±


    ¡°If the application doesn¡¯t go through, I¡¯ll sponsor some of it out of my own pocket.¡± Principal Tan laughed.


    ¡°It¡¯s a deal.¡±


    Xu Bo¡¯s eyes lit up, revealing a sly gleam, ¡°You said it, and I¡¯ve recorded it¡­ Alright, I¡¯ve already sent the Second Class Scholarship application to you, hurry up and approve it.¡±


    ¡°I have other things to attend to, so I¡¯ll hang up now.¡±


    ¡°Beep¡ª¡±


    Xu Bo had hung up the video.


    Leaving Principal Tan in his office, who hadn¡¯t quite recovered, staring at the ¡®pending approval document¡¯ that had just appeared on his work screen.


    He paused for a moment.


    Principal Tan needed no further explanation.


    He had been outmaneuvered.


    If Xu Bo truly intended to apply for a Special Scholarship, why would he send a Second Class Scholarship application in a split second?


    It was clearly prepared in advance.


    Xu Bo¡¯s real target was the Second Class Scholarship¡­ mentioning the Special Scholarship was just an opening gambit to highball.


    ¡°This Xu Bo¡­¡± Principal Tan smiled wryly and said, ¡°Number Nine.¡±


    ¡°Open the pending approval document.¡±


    ¡°Approved.¡±


    ¡­


    In the office building, inside Xu Bo¡¯s office.


    ¡°Special Scholarship?¡± Xu Bo revealed a cryptic smile, ¡°Call Director He? I¡¯m not that foolish.¡±


    Xu Bo knew clearly that, with Li Yuan¡¯s current situation, there was no chance of passing the Intelligent Supervision Bureau¡¯s review.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°And I even earned an independent Martial Arts Room.¡± Xu Bo chuckled, ¡°This old Tan, he¡¯s just too rigid, always hemming and hawing when it¡¯s time to release some funds.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°It¡¯s like he treats the government funding as his secret stash of money tucked away behind his wife¡¯s back, as if I would waste it¡­¡±


    ¡°Hmm? Agreed?¡±


    ¡°He was quite agreeable this time.¡± Xu Bo thought for a moment and said, ¡°Black Dog, send a smiley face to Principal Tan.¡±


    ¡°Oh no, send that selfie with my smile I saved last time.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    ¡­


    9 o¡¯clock in the evening.


    The sounds of the evening self-study session were echoing through the campus as students gradually left.


    Inside the Martial Arts Room of Class 3-2.


    Only Li Yuan and Li Tianyou remained, both practicing with cold weapons.


    ¡°Li Yuan, aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Li Tianyou couldn¡¯t help but shout.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, you go ahead.¡± Li Yuan smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to practice a bit longer.¡±


    Li Tianyou was stunned for a moment.


    He had arrived at school at 5:45 this morning, thinking of going home early to rest tonight¡­ but now he hesitated.


    ¡°Li Yuan arrives earlier than me and leaves later.¡± Li Tianyou gritted his teeth, ¡°I can¡¯t match his talent, but surely I can match his effort?¡±


    ¡°Continue practicing.¡±


    In the distance, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t noticed the change in Li Tianyou¡¯s expression; he was examining the data on the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡ª


    ¡°Compared to the beginning of the month, both my physical quality and spiritual power have been steadily improving.¡± Li Yuan was quite satisfied.


    He firmly believed that if he persisted in his cultivation like this,


    one day, he would become a powerful Martial Artist.


    What excited him most today was creating the unique move ¡®Dragon Hidden in the Gorge¡¯.


    ¡°Just created, it¡¯s not very smooth to execute yet.¡±


    ¡°These next few days, I need to ponder over it more.¡± Li Yuan was deep in thought.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A cold voice, like a resounding bell, came from inside the classroom.


    Li Yuan and Li Tianyou both turned their heads.


    ¡°Teacher Xu?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    ¡°Come to my office.¡± Xu Bo spoke gravely, then turned and walked away, disappearing into the night.


    ¡°Tianyou, I won¡¯t be coming back to the classroom later,¡± Li Yuan said hurriedly, placing the spear back in the weapons cabinet.


    He grabbed his bag and quickly left the classroom.


    ¡°This late.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Xu has come to find Li Yuan?¡± Li Tianyou¡¯s eyes flashed with envy, ¡°No wonder Li Yuan was in no hurry to leave, was Teacher Xu planning to give him special guidance?¡±


    Li Tianyou shook his head and muttered to himself, ¡°Li Tianyou, oh Li Tianyou, don¡¯t worry about others.¡± Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Focus on yourself!¡± His gaze sharpened and he earnestly began practicing Sword Technique again.


    ¡­


    Inside Xu Bo¡¯s office.


    ¡°A Second Class Scholarship? 50,000 Blue Star Coins?¡± When Li Yuan heard this good news, he was first stunned, then filled with endless joy.


    Even with his composure, he could hardly contain his exhilaration.


    For Li Yuan, the 50,000 Blue Star Coins could not only help relieve his family¡¯s financial pressure,


    but also ease the pressure in his heart.


    It could alleviate some of the guilt he felt towards his uncle and aunt.


    ¡°This happy?¡± Seeing Li Yuan¡¯s unabashed joy, Xu Bo was quite surprised.


    Xu Bo instantly realized that this scholarship was probably more important to Li Yuan than he had anticipated.


    ¡°It¡¯s so important to Li Yuan,¡±


    ¡°yet he hasn¡¯t come to me without so much as a word for more than half a month, quite steady.¡± Xu Bo thought to himself, his estimation of Li Yuan rising a notch.


    Once Li Yuan had completely composed himself,


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher Xu,¡± Li Yuan gratefully said.


    Li Yuan was aware that his scholarship being upgraded from Third Class to Second Class was likely the reason Xu Bo had taken so long.


    ¡°The scholarship will be transferred to your account next Monday,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°Also, I have two more pieces of good news for you.¡±


    ¡°Good news?¡± Li Yuan listened intently.


    More good news?


    ¡°First, I begged the principal with this face of mine five or six times before he agreed to allocate a separate Martial Arts Room for you, so you can concentrate on your cultivation,¡± Xu Bo said seriously.


    A separate Martial Arts Room? Li Yuan was shocked; this privilege was nearly exclusive to the top ten students in the grade with hardly any exceptions.


    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯ve gone to great lengths.¡± Li Yuan felt increasingly grateful.


    ¡°Second, the principal has agreed that if you can break into the top ten in the grade during the January exams, I can help you apply for a First Rank Scholarship, 100,000 Blue Star Coins,¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, ¡°If you can reach the top five, there¡¯s a chance to apply for the Special Scholarship.¡±


    ¡°The Special Scholarship is 500,000 Blue Star Coins!¡±


    ¡°The opportunity is given to you.¡±


    ¡°Whether you can seize it is up to you.¡±

 Chapter 17 - 15 The Goal of 860 Points

    Chapter 17: Chapter 15 The Goal of 860 Points


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart raced as he listened.


    To break into the top ten, one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins for a First Rank scholarship?


    Top five, five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins for a Special Scholarship?


    It was Blue Star Coins!


    Li Yuan remembered correctly, his aunt, a middle school teacher, made about one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins a year.


    Like his uncle, if he chose not to be stationed in some dangerous places, he¡¯d make a few hundred thousand Blue Star Coins a year.


    ...


    ¡°Teacher, really?¡± Li Yuan asked subconsciously.


    It wasn¡¯t strange for Li Yuan to react this way.


    Even though he was mature and had a good temperament,


    he was still only a seventeen year old boy. To him, one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins was already a significant fortune.


    ¡°Would I lie to you?¡±


    Xu Bo¡¯s voice was still cold, ¡°The rewards are certainly real, but forget about the top five in the grade, can your Martial Path results break into the top ten in the January mock exams?¡±


    Li Yuan calmed down as well.


    Yes, no matter how good the rewards were, it had to be in his hands to count.


    If it was the top twenty in the grade, Li Yuan still saw some hope, but the top ten? The chances were indeed very slim.


    The most important reason was Martial Spirit¡­ Students who had awakened their Spiritual Nature enjoyed a 10% bonus to their Martial Path scores, a significant advantage.


    If Li Yuan scored 900, a student from the Elite Class only needed 820 raw points to surpass him.


    ¡°Getting into the top ten is indeed difficult, but you still have some hope.¡±


    ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve also worked hard with the principal on your behalf. Even if you can¡¯t make the top ten, as long as your raw score is second in the grade,¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, ¡°we will still give you some aid, it¡¯s just that, of course, it won¡¯t be as good as the scholarship.¡±


    ¡°Raw score, second in the grade?¡± Hope flared up in Li Yuan¡¯s heart again.


    Last semester, his raw score was already sixth in the grade.


    The second in raw score? The chances were actually greater than being in the top ten in total score.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher.¡± Li Yuan expressed his gratitude sincerely, feeling that teacher Xu Bo, though seemingly cold, was actually warmhearted on the inside and treated him very well.


    ¡°It¡¯s late, go home and rest.¡±


    ¡°When you come to school tomorrow, you will have access to the Independent Martial Arts Room. I¡¯ll send you the specific room number tomorrow,¡± Xu Bo waved his hand.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded and left the office.


    And closed the door behind him.


    Listening to the faint footsteps of Li Yuan as he walked away, a smile cracked on Xu Bo¡¯s cold face, ¡°He who strives for the utmost reaches the middle, he who strives for the middle reaches the bottom, and he who strives for the bottom achieves nothing.¡±


    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t blame me when you find out the truth.¡±


    Having observed Li Yuan for a long time, Xu Bo knew he was steady in temperament and worked hard in his cultivation.


    But Xu Bo knew human nature even better, that a certain amount of pressure and temptation was needed to bring out even greater motivation.


    Simply put¡ª dangling a carrot!


    The carrot just couldn¡¯t be hung too high, or else it would lead to discouragement if unreachable. Therefore, Xu Bo set another goal for Li Yuan, ¡®second in raw score¡¯.


    ¡°Three goals.¡±


    ¡°Kid, as long as you reach the medium goal, you¡¯ll be effectively reaching the high one,¡± Xu Bo thought silently, ¡°I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    Out of the two thousand students in this cohort, Li Yuan was the second one to catch his eye.


    ¡­


    Muhua Platinum Mansion, Building Two.


    ¡°Muhua, we need to spend twenty thousand Blue Star Coins this month?¡± Li Yuan was in his room.


    He felt a heavy weight in his heart.


    Although Aunt Chen Hui had avoided Li Yuan earlier and quietly talked with his younger brother Li Muhua in the master bedroom, deliberately trying not to let him overhear¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s hearing was too good now.


    Standing in the living room, he still overheard a little.


    ¡°I need at least thirty thousand a month, Muhua also needs about the same, and Qian Qian will need nearly twenty thousand. Add up the daily expenses¡­¡± Li Yuan had counted this sum countless times in his heart.


    The household expenses amounted to at least ninety thousand Blue Star Coins a month.


    In reality, the three children could have been supported without practicing the Martial Path, based on the condition of his aunt and uncle¡­ but the expense of purchasing various supplements and potions to assist Martial Path cultivation was staggeringly high.


    ¡°Moreover, Qian Qian and Muhua aren¡¯t like me.¡±


    ¡°I have awakened the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯ provides relaxation and healing effects on the body, which can probably match the effects of high-level therapy that costs tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins a month,¡± Li Yuan was very clear about this, ¡°While for Qian Qian and especially Muhua,¡±


    ¡°if they want to achieve great success in the Martial Path, the resources currently invested are not enough.¡±


    ¡°This scholarship comes with a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°By the weekend, I must surge to five hundred points in the Gold Stage, then grab another fifty thousand Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan resolved quietly.


    As for the three promises made by the teacher Xu Bo?


    On the electric train ride home, Li Yuan calmed down and had thoroughly thought it through.


    ¡°Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins!¡±


    ¡°If I could get them, the financial pressure on my family would be relieved by a large extent at once.¡±


    ¡°But, top five in my grade?¡± Li Yuan thought about it and his heart sank to the bottom.


    On the way home.


    Using his smart wristband, Li Yuan reviewed the final exam rankings of the second year once again.


    His overall Martial Spirit score was 802 points, ranked sixth in the grade by raw score and twenty-ninth by total score.


    The students in the top five of the grade were all from the Elite Class. Their raw scores alone were over 800 points, and with additional points¡­ the total score of the top one even reached an astonishing 962.5 points!


    ¡°The top one in the grade is too strong; there¡¯s no hope for me.¡±


    ¡°Without an awakened Martial Spirit, my raw score is my total score.¡±


    ¡°To break into the top five of the grade, my raw score must at least reach 860 points to have a sliver of hope,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Even for the top ten, a raw score of around 840 points is nearly necessary.¡±


    A raw score of 840 points.


    In the final exams of the second year, that would have already been the second-highest raw score in the grade.


    ¡°Work hard.¡±


    ¡°By the January mock exams, strive to get over 410 points in Physical Quality, strive to get over 375 points in Martial Arts Skills, and strive to get over 75 points in academics,¡± Li Yuan set three individual subject goals for himself.

    All of them must be met.


    Only then would there be a faint hope of reaching the top five in the grade.


    ¡­


    In the master bedroom, Chen Hui was having a video call with Li Changzhou.


    ¡°Wife, did you receive the money?¡± Li Changzhou¡¯s face looked even darker.


    ¡°Mhm.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll plan everything at home,¡± Aunt Chen Hui nodded, ¡°With these five hundred thousand, plus what we had before, it should be enough until next year around February or March.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm,¡± Li Changzhou smiled and said, ¡°Wife, don¡¯t worry too much. There will be a subsidy from the company at the end of the year, and there¡¯s my salary¡­ life will be easier after Xiaoyuan¡¯s college entrance exams.¡±


    Chen Hui nodded and tried to smile lightly to appear relaxed.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The other end of the video call shook violently; Li Changzhou, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up.


    ¡°Clang~¡± In the video, a door that was ajar got knocked open, and faint yet massive explosion sounds could be heard from outside.


    ¡°Manager Li, hurry! Quick!¡± A worker clad in a uniform smeared with dirt rushed in frantically and said urgently, ¡°The higher-ups told our team to end our break and go up immediately.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Changzhou nodded repeatedly and turned to Chen Hui on this end of the video, saying, ¡°Wife, I need to work overtime. I¡¯ll call you back later.¡±


    Buzz¡ª¡ªThe video call ended.


    ¡°Old Li.¡± Chen Hui¡¯s face showed a trace of worry, immediately shutting off the smart wristband.


    Closing her eyes.


    When she reopened them, Chen Hui¡¯s face had regained its relaxed expression, and she stepped out of the master bedroom, ¡°Qian Qian, Xiaohua, you two should go to sleep.¡±


    ¡°Xiaoyuan, don¡¯t stay up too late either.¡±


    ¡°Okay, mom!¡±


    ¡°Got it, aunt.¡±


    ¡­


    The following day at noon.


    In the school cafeteria, students were eating their lunch, occasionally glancing up at the news on the large electronic screen.


    ¡°¡­Last night, the ¡®Second Level Star Realm Rob Sea¡¯ in the Northern Border Province erupted in intense conflict once more, our national defense forces, and the alliance support armies were fearless and brave¡­¡± the news kept playing.


    ¡°It¡¯s always fighting.¡±


    ¡°There hasn¡¯t been any let-up recently, I¡¯ve heard that many people have died; some Star Realm Creatures even broke through the defense lines.¡±


    ¡°I hope they can hold on.¡± The students spoke quietly among themselves while eating.


    Li Yuan sat next to Zhou Qi, silent, only glancing occasionally at the news, a flicker of worry passing through his eyes.

 Chapter 18 - 16: Independent Martial Arts Room (Requesting Monthly Votes for Third Update)

    Chapter 18: Chapter 16: Independent Martial Arts Room (Requesting Monthly Votes for Third Update)


    This past half-month.


    Li Yuan, aside from diligently practicing his cultivation, had been closely following the war in Northern Border Province.


    After all, his uncle was constructing defense facilities in Northern Border Province.


    According to the news, the human allied forces were winning victory after victory, each time with great success, causing significant casualties among the Star Realm Creatures.


    However, Li Yuan keenly sensed that something was amiss.


    ¡°Battle reports can deceive, but the front line won¡¯t,¡± Li Yuan murmured as he ate, glancing at the news playing on the electronic screen.


    ...


    ¡°Based on past experiences, if our human civilization truly had the advantage, then after facing the first wave of attacks, we would quickly organize a large army and Martial Artists to infiltrate deep into the heart of the Star Realm¡­¡± Though Li Yuan¡¯s science grades were average, his humanities grades were quite good.


    He was particularly adept at both history and geography.


    Especially modern history.


    ¡°The war in the Rob Sea Star Realm, it¡¯s been half a month, and it seems like the front line has been stuck in a tug of war at the several major entrances to the Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said, worry filling his eyes.


    What does that indicate?


    The human allied forces have been unable to push back!


    The war, it must be very fierce.


    ¡°I hope my uncle can come back safely,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. These days, his uncle would occasionally call or send messages, telling him not to worry.


    Sigh!


    ¡°Old Zhou, Yan Zhou, I¡¯ve finished eating¡ªI¡¯m heading out first,¡± Li Yuan said, picking up his meal box and preparing to walk toward the collection table.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, wait for us¡ªwe¡¯re about to finish, too,¡± Zhou Qi called out. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Martial Arts Room together.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m heading to the Elite Building, it¡¯s not on the way,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    The Guan Mountain District¡¯s top high school covered a vast area, with the teaching buildings divided into four types: the Cultural Building, Martial Hall, Office Building, and Elite Building.


    The so-called Elite Building consisted of three extra-large Martial Arts Rooms and dozens of independent Martial Arts Rooms.


    It was specifically for the use of students from the three Elite Classes ranging from freshman to senior year.


    In total, there were less than two hundred students.


    ¡°Going to the Elite Building?¡± Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou were caught off guard for a moment.


    ¡°Looking for someone? Wan Xiao?¡± Yan Zhou asked, puzzled.


    ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll be training there,¡± Li Yuan pondered before saying: ¡°The school approved an independent Martial Arts Room for me. I¡¯ll practice there during Martial Arts self-study from now on.¡±


    Martial Arts classes only happened every other day for their class.


    The scholarship, if the school didn¡¯t publicize it, no one would know¡ªLi Yuan wasn¡¯t about to invite envy by revealing it.


    But an independent Martial Arts Room? It was there for all to see; it was bound to spread sooner or later, so Li Yuan decided to just tell them upfront.


    ¡°An independent Martial Arts Room? Holy shit!¡±


    ¡°Is it Brother Yuan¡¯s?¡±


    ¡°Definitely approved by Teacher Xu!¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan is awesome!¡± Yan Zhou, Zhou Qi, and the rest of the dozen or so boys exploded with excitement, shouting fervently.


    This immediately drew the attention of many other students around them.


    ¡°Keep it down, I¡¯m only telling you guys¡ªdon¡¯t spread the word,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, we want to check it out; I¡¯ve never been inside an independent Martial Arts Room before.¡±


    ¡°An independent Martial Arts Room, I¡¯ve never even dared to dream of that,¡± the boys lowered their voices, but their curiosity remained.


    They didn¡¯t envy Li Yuan; even if a few of them had thoughts, they weren¡¯t foolish enough to show it.


    After all, their group of more than a dozen boys had Li Yuan as their implicit leader.


    Moreover, they all knew that Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Path grades were excellent, with his bare score already ranked in the top ten of their grade.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t been there either,¡± more people shouted.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you guys sometime in the future,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°But not today, it¡¯s my first time going, and I need to get familiar with it.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    ¡­


    The Elite Building and the senior year Martial Hall were separated by a small playground, and one had to cross the Office Building to get there¡ªit was relatively independent.


    As a result, the area was very quiet.


    Tree-lined roads flanked both sides, with a gentle breeze blowing, quite refreshing.


    ¡°The Elite Building,¡± Li Yuan quickly arrived at the bottom of the grand building, glancing around, noting the rather classic decoration.


    In front of the building stood a statue of a person.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji.¡± Li Yuan recognized the statue.


    The first strongest of human civilization, the strongest in Xia Country, founder of the Starfire Martial Hall¡­ he was also the first extraordinary martial artist to walk out alive from the center of a nuclear explosion.


    He was the idol Li Yuan admired most.


    ¡°The Martial Path is me.¡± As Li Yuan approached the statue, he saw the famous quote engraved beneath it.


    At one o¡¯clock in the afternoon, it was time to return to the martial arts classroom for self-study practice, so there were quite a few students coming and going.


    However, nobody paid much attention to Li Yuan.


    First-year students thought Li Yuan was in second or third year, while third-year students thought he was a second-year student.


    Perhaps, Li Yuan had a little fame in the third year, but it was limited to being ¡®famous by name¡¯.


    Apart from his classmates, students from other classes rarely recognized him.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A voice tinged with surprise called out, and Li Yuan turned his head to look.


    A burly figure resembling a bear, dressed in martial arts attire, walked up the steps.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, long time no see,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, waving his hand. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The person who came was none other than Wan Xiao, who, after awakening his Martial Spirit, had transferred to study in the Elite Class.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time indeed,¡± Wan Xiao said with a smile.


    Although they were in the same school, being in different classes made it very difficult to encounter each other.


    ¡°How¡¯s the Elite Class?¡± Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    ¡°Not bad,¡± Wan Xiao nodded. ¡°The high-rank cultivation methods are indeed extraordinary, everyone in the class is very skilled, and sparring with each other has great effects¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll have to work hard, don¡¯t let me surpass you in the next exam,¡± Wan Xiao said half-jokingly.


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for it,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. Their relationship was good, and he didn¡¯t take it as a provocation.


    ¡°By the way, I haven¡¯t asked you yet, what are you doing at the Elite Building?¡± Wan Xiao asked, puzzled. ¡°Looking for someone?¡±


    ¡°Looking for a classroom,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile. ¡°How do I get to Martial Arts Room 4011?¡±


    ¡°4011?¡± Wan Xiao was startled. ¡°The fourth floor? That¡¯s a senior-year independent martial arts room, but room 11 hasn¡¯t been open, has it? There¡¯s nobody there.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nobody yet.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Once I arrive, there will be.¡±


    Wan Xiao¡¯s pupils narrowed. He wasn¡¯t stupid and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Your independent martial arts room?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s my first time here, so you can show me the way.¡±


    ¡­


    On the fourth floor, in front of the independent Martial Arts Room 4011.


    Watching Li Yuan open the door to the martial arts room with ¡®face recognition,¡¯ Wan Xiao finally believed what Li Yuan had said was true.


    His face still couldn¡¯t hide his shock.


    ¡°Impressive, was it granted by Instructor Xu?¡± Wan Xiao said, standing at the entrance to the martial arts room.


    Li Yuan simply smiled.


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Wan Xiao continued, ¡°Aside from not awakening your Martial Spirit, based on raw scores, you indeed qualify to be here.¡±


    Deep down, Wan Xiao truly admired Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan stood inside the martial arts room, looking around. The room was about one hundred and fifty square meters and very clean.


    He drew open the curtains.


    Sunlight poured in, making the room bright.


    Fist strength testing area, life vitality detector, projector, camera¡­ even a virtual network pod.


    Except for the space issue not having a speed test track, the room had all the technological equipment one could ask for.


    ¡°Starting today, this is my independent martial arts room?¡± There was a trace of joy in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    With an independent martial arts room, there would be no disturbances, and naturally, his training efficiency would be higher.


    Wan Xiao stood at the door of the martial arts room with a hint of envy in his eyes.


    An independent martial arts room? He actually didn¡¯t care about it!


    His family¡¯s martial arts room was not inferior to the school¡¯s independent martial arts room.


    What Wan Xiao cared about was the honor that came with it.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, what are you doing here? Who let you open the door to Martial Arts Room 4011?¡± An icy voice echoed down the corridor.

 Chapter 19 - 17 Bets Protected by Law

    Chapter 19: Chapter 17 Bets Protected by Law


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me who opened it,¡± Wan Xiao quickly waved his hand.


    The soundproofing of the Martial Arts Room was excellent, but with the door wide open, plus Li Yuan¡¯s sharp ears, he naturally heard the voice that had come through.


    He couldn¡¯t help but turn his head to look.


    He saw a youth in a black martial outfit, well-proportioned, and with a buzz cut, who took a few quick steps and arrived at the entrance of Martial Arts Room 4011.


    The youth was half a head shorter than Wan Xiao, about the same height as Li Yuan, and had a rather delicate-looking face.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, how could you jump out the window¡­ Eh! How come this Martial Arts Room now has an owner?¡± The youth was about to speak when he noticed the green sign on the door of the Martial Arts Room.


    ...


    There are three types of signs at these Martial Arts Rooms¡¯ doors, indicating different statuses¡ªoccupied, empty, or invaded.


    A green sign signifies that it was opened normally by the owner.


    ¡°4011 wasn¡¯t empty¡­ Who are you? How do you have access to 4011?¡± For the first time, the youth noticed Li Yuan inside the Martial Arts Room and looked at him with a puzzled face.


    The youth wasn¡¯t stupid.


    He had thought that Wan Xiao had opened the Martial Arts Room by jumping through the window.


    But from Wan Xiao¡¯s words, coupled with the green sign at the door, he instantly deduced¡ªLi Yuan was the owner of the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, aren¡¯t you going to introduce us?¡± said Li Yuan with a smile.


    He could tell that the youth harbored no ill will; he was simply straightforward and unsophisticated.


    ¡°That¡¯s Gu Qianghan from Class One, Year Three.¡± Wan Xiao laughingly introduced the youth: ¡°Nickname ¡®Not-So-Strong¡¯.¡±


    Class one of every grade level is the Elite Class.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, I¡¯m telling you again, call me Gu Qiang, and if you call me by my full name next time, I¡¯m really going to lose it,¡± the youth said with displeasure.


    Wan Xiao just laughed it off and didn¡¯t pay any mind, then pointed at Li Yuan and said, ¡°Gu Qiang, didn¡¯t you keep talking about Li Yuan after Teacher Xu¡¯s class the other day? Look, this is Li Yuan.¡±


    The youth, who was previously unhappy, instantly brightened up and stared at Li Yuan: ¡°You¡¯re the Li Yuan that Teacher Xu Bo mentioned, the one with the extremely impressive spear technique?¡±


    ¡°Uh, an impressive spear technique?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°I wouldn¡¯t say my spear technique is that impressive, but if Teacher Xu Bo was referring to Li Yuan from Class Two, Year Three, then it must be me.¡±


    Li Yuan already knew who the youth was.


    When checking the end-of-term rankings for the second year, he naturally took notice of the top ten students from the previous grades.


    Gu Qianghan was indeed the third in martial arts performance at the end of the second year.


    However, his appearance was a bit unexpected for Li Yuan, having a delicacy that didn¡¯t quite match his name.


    ¡°If Teacher Xu says you¡¯re good, then it must be true,¡± said Gu Qianghan, his eyes shining: ¡°I checked, and at the end of last semester, your score in Martial Arts Skills was the highest in the whole grade.¡±


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan looked at the youth with interest.


    ¡°I want to challenge you,¡± stated Gu Qianghan, excitedly fixing his gaze on Li Yuan, eager to try.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t underestimate him.¡±


    ¡°This guy is quite crafty. When I first got to the Elite Class, I was fooled by his looks,¡± Wan Xiao hastily added.


    ¡°What do you mean fooled by me, I didn¡¯t ambush you, I challenged you fair and square,¡± Gu Qianghan said with disdain: ¡°You look like a bear but couldn¡¯t even take ten punches from me, and you still have the nerve to say that.¡±


    Wan Xiao was taken aback.


    And was left speechless.


    When he first arrived in the Elite Class, he encountered Gu Qianghan challenging him. Misled by the other¡¯s delicate features and assuming he was easy to bully, he ended up¡­ suffering a terrible defeat.


    ¡°Ten punches?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, not surprised.


    Just based on the end-of-year results in the second year, Gu Qianghan¡¯s raw score was even higher than his own, so defeating Wan Xiao was normal.


    ¡°How about it?¡± Gu Qianghan fixed his eyes on Li Yuan: ¡°We¡¯ll fight in full armor. I want to test your spear technique.


    Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes shone with a fighting spirit.


    Li Yuan just smiled.


    From the conversation between the two just now, Li Yuan had guessed the reason why the other wanted to challenge him.


    Probably, Teacher Xu had used his spear technique as an example in the Elite Class and made some unflattering remarks.


    For instance, ¡°You call yourselves the Elite Class? I don¡¯t see any of you living up to Li Yuan from Class Two, Year Three.¡±


    ¡°A Li Yuan who hasn¡¯t even awakened his Martial Spirit, his spear technique alone is enough to take all of you down.¡±


    Using students from other classes as examples to suppress students from the class they are teaching is a common tactic used by many teachers.


    Similarly, it has inadvertently drawn a lot of animosity toward Li Yuan in the Elite Class.


    ¡°Li Yuan, if you are a Martial Artist, then accept my challenge,¡± Gu Qianghan looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan looked at Wan Xiao with an odd expression, it had been a long time since he had heard such a melodramatic phrase.


    Wan Xiao spread his hands as if to say ¡®he has always been this melodramatic¡¯.


    ¡°I do not accept,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°Li Yuan, do you lack the spirit of a Martial Artist?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not even a Martial Artist yet, so naturally, I don¡¯t have the spirit of one,¡± Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Gu Qianghan. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Alright, this is my Martial Arts Room. I¡¯m going to start training,¡± he declared.


    In fact, Li Yuan¡¯s refusal to fight was not because he was scared of the opponent.


    It was meaningless and carried risks.


    Sparring with Teacher Xu Bo was different¡ªthe teacher¡¯s strength greatly surpassed that of the students, able to control the entire scene, ensuring no one would get hurt.


    But when two students with similar strengths sparred using cold weapons, it was impossible to fully control endangering oneself.


    Even fully armored and using dull cold weapons, one could easily suffer serious injuries or even death.


    Such incidents were not uncommon.


    Li Yuan was not willing to risk any danger for a cause that had no benefits.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Gu Qianghan was about to speak again.


    ¡°Gu Qianghan, who gave you the audacity to engage in a private duel?¡± A stern voice suddenly came from outside the door.


    Gu Qianghan¡¯s expression stiffened, and instead of getting angry at being called by his full name, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.


    ¡°Sis¡ª¡± Gu Qianghan suddenly turned around, placing his hand on Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder, his face now filled with a smile: ¡°I was just joking with Li Yuan, right, Li Yuan?¡±


    Li Yuan was momentarily stunned, somewhat caught off guard.


    Wan Xiao shrugged, indicating that this was nothing new to him.


    Gu Qianghan shook Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder vigorously, frantically gesturing to Li Yuan with his eyes.


    But Li Yuan stood his ground, immovable as a rock, his gaze had already fallen on the figure at the door.


    A girl roughly seventeen or eighteen, wearing a crimson tight-fitting martial arts uniform, her face delicate yet strong, with bright eyes and white teeth, her brows and eyes exuding a sharp and resolute temperament.


    Her jet-black hair was swept up high behind her head, giving her an especially capable appearance.


    However, the most eye-catching thing was the fiery red longsword hanging at her waist.


    ¡°Hello, Li Yuan, I am Lin Lanyue from Senior Class 3 (1).¡± The girl also looked at Li Yuan and took the initiative to say, ¡°I apologize on behalf of my brother for his crazy streak; I hope you won¡¯t mind it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Li Yuan said with a handshake and a smile.


    The girl nodded, her gaze becoming sharp again as she turned it back to Gu Qianghan, making his scalp tingle.


    ¡°Sis!¡± Gu Qianghan involuntarily removed his hand from Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°If I catch you in a private fight again, even calling for your mom won¡¯t save you,¡± the girl said coldly.


    Gu Qianghan awkwardly touched his head without daring to utter a word.


    Since childhood, Gu Qianghan had always harbored an innate fear of his cousin, who was only half a year older than him.


    ¡°It¡¯s all trivial stuff.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t blame him; none of us has any problems,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan instantly recognized the person before him.


    She had spoken more than once at school-wide assemblies.


    From the time she enrolled, her name had constantly been on the honor roll.


    She was the top Martial Path student in the senior year, recognized as the most likely candidate to get into Starry Sky University¡ªa martial arts prodigy¡ªLin Lanyue.


    ¡°As long as you don¡¯t blame him, that¡¯s fine.¡±


    The girl nodded, still focusing on Li Yuan: ¡°It¡¯s wrong for my brother to seek a private duel with you, but Teacher Xu said your martial arts skills surpass everyone in our class, and it¡¯s not just my brother who is dissatisfied.¡±


    ¡°Frankly, I¡¯m not convinced either.¡±


    Li Yuan was startled.


    Wan Xiao was also taken aback.


    Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement, fully aware of his cousin¡¯s personality.


    She seemed affable on the surface, but was actually very tough at heart.


    ¡°I would also like to learn from you and see for myself how impressive the person that Teacher Xu said has spear technique close to ¡®Unity¡¯. But it won¡¯t be a real combat,¡± the girl set her sights on Li Yuan, ¡°how about a match on Starry Skies Fighting Network?¡±


    Starry Skies Fighting Network was a virtual fight; nobody would get hurt.


    ¡°What¡¯s in it for me?¡± Li Yuan shrugged and smiled, ¡°I never do anything without benefits.¡±


    ¡°Benefits?¡± Lin Lanyue frowned.


    ¡°How about this, we make a bet,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°If you win, I will publicly acknowledge that you have the best martial arts skills in the entire grade.¡±


    ¡°If I win, you give me two thousand Blue Star Coins, how does that sound?¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°What kind of bet is that?¡± Gu Qiang scoffed, ¡°A sure win, you¡¯re thinking too beautifully.¡±


    ¡°Up to you.¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, please leave and don¡¯t delay my training,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Fine, I agree,¡± Lin Lanyue said, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Sis!¡± Gu Qiang was astonished.


    ¡°Shut up,¡± Lin Lanyue frowned.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make it next Sunday afternoon at two, how about that?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s add each other as V friends first, then I¡¯ll send you my account name.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Soon, they became virtual network friends.


    ¡°Gu Qiang, let¡¯s go,¡± Lin Lanyue turned and walked away, with Gu Qiang reluctantly following her.


    That left Li Yuan and Wan Xiao alone.


    ¡°Li Yuan, that was a huge loss,¡± Wan Xiao said, unable to hold back, ¡°You don¡¯t know, Lin Lanyue¡¯s family is very wealthy; if you had bet five thousand or even ten thousand Blue Star Coins just now, I think she would have agreed.¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Foolish.¡±


    ¡°The law of Xia Country states that bets on Starry Skies Fighting Network cannot exceed two thousand Blue Star Coins for minors.¡±


    ¡°Any amount over two thousand Blue Star Coins is not protected by law.¡±

 Chapter 20 - 18: Starry Sky University

    Chapter 20: Chapter 18: Starry Sky University


    ¡°Protected by law?¡± Wan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯m impressed by you.¡±


    ¡°To accomplish great things, you have to study the law first,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Immediately afterward, Li Yuan shifted the topic, ¡°Lin Lanyue and Gu Qianghan are siblings?¡±


    ¡°Yeah,¡± Wan Xiao said, ¡°They seem to be cousins, not bearing the same surname anyway. They have a good relationship. Gu Qianghan isn¡¯t afraid of anyone except his sister.¡±


    ¡°According to him, it¡¯s because he can¡¯t beat his sister that he¡¯s afraid. Once he can, he definitely won¡¯t be anymore,¡± Wan Xiao said with a laugh, ¡°But I feel like he will never be able to beat her in this lifetime.¡±


    ¡°Even if it were you in full armor combat, I reckon you wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against Lin Lanyue,¡± Wan Xiao said seriously.


    ...


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If you say I had a bit of fame in my senior year, then Lin Lanyue was truly a household name.


    Being beautiful was just a small part.


    In the entire Guan Mountain District¡¯s Number One High School, with thousands of students, could you not find a few beautiful girls? As a key provincial school, there was never talk of ¡®campus belles or beaux.¡¯


    Most students actually don¡¯t pay too much attention to other people in their class, let alone in other classes.


    Lin Lanyue, as the sole ¡®public figure,¡¯ was mainly because of her cliff-like leading martial arts achievements.


    The absolute first.


    Since her freshman year, in every large or small test involving martial arts, she was essentially always at the top.


    At the end of her sophomore year, she scored 875 points raw, and her overall score was even more astounding at 962.5, leaving the second place trailing by more than fifty points.


    The only exception was the last martial arts skills test of her sophomore year.


    For the first time, it was taken by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Full armor combat?¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment: ¡°What¡¯s her Physical Quality level?¡±


    ¡°It should be over 8.0 levels,¡± Wan Xiao said, ¡°That¡¯s my guess, since I haven¡¯t had any minor tests in the Elite Class since I joined.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Based on Lin Lanyue¡¯s Physical Quality scores from last term, along with her rate of progress, you could roughly estimate¡­ she should be between 8.0 and 8.3 levels.


    This was already terrifying.


    By the college entrance exam standards, Physical Quality has a full score of 500 points, 10.0 levels is the full mark.


    9.0 levels are 470 points.


    8.0 levels are 440 points.


    7.0 levels are 400 points.


    6.0 levels are 360 points.


    5.0 levels are 300 points.


    ¡°At least 8.0 levels? Given her rate of improvement, by the time of the college entrance exam, her Physical Quality might have a chance to reach 9.0 levels,¡± Li Yuan thought with a silent sigh, ¡°No wonder everyone says she has the potential to be admitted to one of the top three martial arts universities in the world, Starry Sky University.¡±


    ¡°The world¡¯s top three martial arts universities ¨C Starry Sky University, Starfire University, and Black Stone University ¨C are better than the five famous universities in Xia Country,¡± he added.


    Li Yuan never dared to underestimate others.


    Lin Lanyue, in terms of talent, was one of the most formidable among the tens of thousands of senior students in Guan Mountain District; her family background was also excellent, and crucially, she herself was diligent enough¡­ A true hard-working martial arts prodigy.


    ¡°Teacher Xu in the Elite Class uses your spear technique as a benchmark,¡± Wan Xiao said with a smile, ¡°But he never mentioned your scores, and I haven¡¯t leaked your last test spear technique score either. Lin Lanyue probably doesn¡¯t know it yet.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Martial arts skills had a full score of 400 points; according to the college entrance exam standards, 320 and 360 are major thresholds, which are hard to cross.


    ¡°To exceed 320 points, your martial arts skills should be at the Second Stage,¡± Li Yuan silently contemplated, ¡°To surpass 360 points, both the spear technique and movement technique should probably be at the Third Stage.¡±


    As for what¡¯s required for a full score? Li Yuan was not clear about that.


    Li Yuan also didn¡¯t ask his teacher Xu Bo, so as not to give the impression that he was aiming too high prematurely.


    ¡°In full armor combat, her Physical Quality is nearly two levels higher than yours; your chances of winning are slim,¡± Wan Xiao said, with a hint of excitement, ¡°But in virtual combat? Heh, I believe in your spear technique.¡±


    ¡°When it¡¯s time for the Zhou Tian fight, I want to come and watch. Remember to send me the room number,¡± Wan Xiao said.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan replied with a nod.


    ¡­


    After seeing Wan Xiao off, Li Yuan closed the door to the Martial Arts Room.


    All became completely quiet.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, connect via Bluetooth, take over the smart management authority of Martial Arts Room 4011, the authorization code is¡­¡± Li Yuan suddenly began speaking.


    Rapidly.


    ¡°Master, I have taken control of the Martial Arts Room authority. I¡¯m very pleased to serve you,¡± a gentle female voice rang out.


    ¡°Open the martial arts skills evaluation system.¡±


    ¡°Open the video analysis system,¡± Li Yuan continued, then opened the nearby weapons cabinet.


    It was filled with a large number of weapons, among which there were six long spears, each varying in length and weight.


    Li Yuan took out the regulation long spear he used the most and placed it on the weapons rack beside him.


    Then, he began to silently practice the ¡°Solid Rock Cultivation Technique.¡±


    ¡°A bet of two thousand Blue Star Coins?¡± Li Yuan let his thoughts drift as he felt the subtle changes in his muscles and sinews, all the while pondering the events of the day.


    Li Yuan had never really taken this match to heart; he was never worried about losing.


    Losing was not shameful.


    The other was the top student of his grade, a martial arts prodigy.


    Win or lose? As long as it led to progress in his martial arts and didn¡¯t result in any losses, what did winning or losing matter?


    ¡°Dongfang Ji, the strongest warrior of human civilization, also lost more than once on his path to growth,¡± Li Yuan reflected inwardly, ¡°Martial path is my path; external things shall not disturb my inner peace.¡±


    ¡°Failure will just be a stepping stone on the path to growth.¡±


    Li Yuan had read many biographies of Dongfang Ji.


    The ¡®Martial Path is my path¡¯ proposed by him didn¡¯t mean that he himself represented the martial path, but rather ¡®Martial Path is the way I go.¡¯


    ¡°As long as you devote yourself to the martial path, you needn¡¯t care about others¡¯ judgments, you don¡¯t have to mind their praise or scorn,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were clear, ¡°By following my own path, my heart and thoughts are the true essence of the martial path, and that is my way.¡±


    In simple terms, walk your own path and let others talk.


    The martial path is about surpassing oneself.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°College entrance examination admissions are determined by ranking, sparring with Lin Lanyue once will also let me know the current level of martial arts skills of these top senior students,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Arts Room 4001.


    ¡°Sis, do you really want to compete with him? He doesn¡¯t lose anything if he loses,¡± Gu Qianghan complained from the sideline.


    ¡°Two thousand Blue Star Coins doesn¡¯t mean much to me,¡± said Lin Lanyue, her voice cold and clear as beads falling on a jade plate.


    She was practicing a set of fist techniques, with each movement of her fists and palms subtly releasing a wave of air with a resonating sound.


    ¡°It¡¯s not about the money.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about face,¡± Gu Qianghan shook his head and said, ¡°You¡¯re the top of the grade, while he¡¯s ranked only in the twenties. It would be so embarrassing to lose.¡±


    ¡°Face?¡±


    Lin Lanyue suddenly stopped her movements, her sharp gaze fixed on Gu Qianghan, ¡°You practice the Martial Path for face?¡±


    Gu Qianghan shook his head repeatedly, ¡°Of course not, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up.¡±


    Lin Lanyue frowned and said, ¡°Aunt has spoiled you, you spar with people every day just to show off your strength, for face? No wonder you even dare to engage in private fights.¡±


    ¡°Sis, I really won¡¯t do it again,¡± Gu Qianghan quickly said, although in his heart he muttered to himself, ¡®Aren¡¯t you also challenging someone to a duel?¡¯


    ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking.¡±


    ¡°I want to spar not because I want to defeat him, but because I want to see how good the spear technique that even Teacher Xu praised is,¡± Lin Lanyue said coldly, ¡°As for winning or losing?¡±


    ¡°If I lose, will it hinder me from getting into Starry Sky University?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s two o¡¯clock, go back to your Martial Arts Room and cultivate,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a frown.


    ¡°Okay there,¡± Gu Qianghan turned and left, unwilling to stay for another second.


    ¡­


    Just before the end of class, inside Martial Arts Room 4011.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has increased from 47% of the Third Stage to 48% of the Third Stage.]


    Li Yuan suddenly became aware of the notification in his field of vision and abruptly stopped his spear.


    ¡°Improved by another one percent?¡±


    ¡°Ever since I created the ¡®Dragon Hidden in the Gorge¡¯ spear move, the progress of my spear technique seems to have accelerated,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°However, to create the ¡®Myriad Mountains¡¯ move that I¡¯ve been conceptualizing, it¡¯s probably going to take some more time.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Such moves that perfectly harness the body¡¯s strength become relatively easier to create after the first or second one.


    Until one day when every move reaches Perfection, that will be the Fourth Level Spear Technique.


    Before long.


    Li Yuan walked out of the Elite Building. Before he reached the cafeteria, he saw a crowd of students gathering from afar.


    It was Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, and the others, seemingly having waited for a while.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, I heard you¡¯re going to compete with Lin Lanyue to decide who¡¯s number one in Martial Arts Skills?¡±


    ¡°No, I heard it¡¯s to determine the real number one in the grade.¡±


    ¡°Huh? How come I heard that Brother Yuan was the one who challenged Lin Lanyue¡­¡±


    ¡°I heard if Brother Yuan wins, Lin Lanyue will agree to date him¡­¡± the crowd was buzzing with various comments.


    Li Yuan: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Stop!¡± Li Yuan suddenly shouted, and the surroundings immediately quieted down.


    ¡°Who told you that?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Wan Xiao, I guess, he was the first to talk about it in the class group. Didn¡¯t you see the group message, Brother Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Anyway, it has spread,¡± Zhou Qi said with a grin, ¡°Brother Yuan, tell us, do you really want to pursue Lin Lanyue?¡±


    Everyone else was also curious.


    ¡°There is indeed a bet,¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°But it¡¯s just a normal spar, nothing else.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m off to eat, I still have to cultivate later,¡± Li Yuan turned and headed for the cafeteria.


    The crowd exchanged glances.


    A normal spar?


    ¡°If it¡¯s a normal spar, why would Brother Yuan keep it a secret? And hurry off so quickly,¡± Zhou Qi shook his head, ¡°There must be something going on.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, I think so too.¡±


    ¡­


    Weekend, 1:50 PM.


    On the virtual network of Blue Star, the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Personal challenge platform, room number 8673795.


    ¡°369 spectators?¡± Li Yuan, incarnated in the virtual world with a long spear in hand, stood on the platform. He frowned upon seeing the number of spectators and the dense virtual figures filling the spectator platform displayed on the screen overhead.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, good luck, take down Lin Lanyue.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, smash her.¡±


    ¡°Class Senior Third Year (2), Brother Yuan is the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Lin Lanyue, beat Li Yuan to a pulp!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan looks so arrogant, he¡¯s asking for a beating.¡±


    ¡°I think he¡¯s pretty handsome, even more than both my boyfriends.¡± Various messy comments were spreading from the spectator platform.


    In the virtual world, people¡¯s speech and behavior tend to be more unrestrained than in reality.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t understand why a simple virtual fight had turned into this situation.


    But now, Li Yuan just felt that the high realism of the virtual network might not be such a good thing after all.


    ¡°Li Yuan, prepare yourself,¡± Lin Lanyue stood at the other end of the platform, holding a long sword.


    Her virtual appearance was quite similar to her real-life appearance.


    Only her hair had changed from long to short and dyed red, less solemn but more untamed.

 Chapter 21 - 19 The Gold Master

    Chapter 21: Chapter 19 The Gold Master


    ¡°Wan Xiao and Zhou Qi, they all have big mouths.¡± Li Yuan felt quite helpless in his heart.


    On the day he and Lin Lanyue arranged their duel, the news spread throughout the entire senior year before night self-study even began.


    Lin Lanyue was a celebrity, and Li Yuan also had some reputation.


    There were all sorts of rumors.


    The most important reason was that Lin Lanyue had never challenged another student to a duel in recent years, and Li Yuan was the first.


    At first, Li Yuan held the idea that ¡®the clean do not need justification,¡¯ and couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention, but later on he realized how naive he was.


    ...


    Today, over 300 people have come to the Starry Skies Fighting Network to watch their battle, and they were mostly classmates.


    And the number was steadily approaching 400.


    This was already an astonishing number, considering it was just a personal duel, and no one was live streaming it.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, see how awesome I am? I brought the whole class to cheer for you!¡± Zhou Qi, with his blonde spiky hair and leather pants, waved and shouted from the spectator stands.


    The virtual network¡¯s 70% realism made the entire ring and its surroundings nearly identical to reality, with hundreds of people gathered around the ring creating a bustling scene.


    ¡°Keep it up.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, your long spear must be hungry for action by now.¡±


    The noisy voices all around, many people also took out banners and glow sticks, all of which were props provided for free by the system.


    Quite a few were supporters of Li Yuan.


    But most of the audience was still rooting for Lin Lanyue. Good grades, pretty, very popular¡­ mainly among the boys.


    The boys were mostly quite loyal, only liking pretty eighteen-year-old girls.


    Even more so since Lin Lanyue was only seventeen.


    ¡­On the ring.


    ¡°Ready.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thought moved.


    Suddenly, the lights around the ring about 30 meters in diameter changed from red to green in an instant.


    The virtual bodies of Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue disappeared instantly.


    At the same time, a huge countdown appeared above the ring: 30, 29, 28¡­


    ¡°Both parties in the duel are below the Fallen Star Stage, so the system has set physical quality at level 8.0 for the battle.¡±


    ¡°You have 24 seconds left, please choose your weapon, otherwise it will be automatically selected based on your preference after time runs out.¡±


    In the preparation space, the system¡¯s voice echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s ears.


    ¡°Physical quality of level 8.0.¡± Li Yuan felt the change in his body¡¯s strength, already quite used to it.


    ¡°Weapon plan number one.¡± Li Yuan said directly.


    As an ¡®old bird¡¯ who had been through over a thousand battles on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, he chose different weapon plans for different types of battles and different opponents.


    Li Yuan had set up five different weapon plans.


    ¡°Selected weapon: Standard Long Spear number 9, length 2.3 meters, weight¡­¡± A large amount of data flashed before Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    A 2.3 meters long spear was considered a shorter one, and Li Yuan would be at a disadvantage if he faced other long spear experts.


    An inch longer, an inch stronger.


    Since Lin Lanyue¡¯s weapon was a sword, a spear that was too long would not be nimble enough, and thus not necessarily advantageous¡­ it was fine to have a slightly longer weapon.


    ¡°Even when hunting a rabbit, the lion uses all its might, not to mention the 2,000 Blue Star Coins at stake,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    Li Yuan never wasted.


    ¡­


    The crowd around the ring was surging, with the number of spectators exceeding 400, and not all were students. There were also a few outsiders.


    For example¡ªTeacher Xu Bo, Principal Tan Zhenlong.


    ¡°Quite a lively atmosphere.¡±


    Principal Tan stood in a corner, wearing a hat that made him look different from his real appearance. No students could recognize him.


    ¡°It¡¯s lively,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile. ¡°Look, it¡¯s about to start.¡±


    Principal Tan nodded. He was brought along by Xu Bo, mainly because he had nothing else to do.


    As Lin Lanyue was the top seed of the senior year, Principal Tan naturally took some interest in her.


    On the ring.


    Countdown 3, 2, 1¡­ swoosh! swoosh!


    Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue reappeared on either side of the ring, both in combat armor and armed with their weapons.


    The most eye-catching was the golden emblem above their heads.


    ¡°Gold Stage?¡±


    ¡°Gold experts?¡±


    ¡°Both are at the Gold Stage?¡± Suddenly, a series of exclamations erupted from around the ring.


    ¡°Brother Yuan reached the Gold Stage? He was still at the Silver Stage when we last played the great escape together,¡± Zhou Qi, Wan Xiao, and the others all widened their eyes.


    ¡°He¡¯s been secretly leveling up without us?¡± Yan Zhou said, ¡°Next time we have to get Brother Yuan to take us for a great escape.¡±


    ¡°Gold experts? Both of them?¡± Li Tianyou stood in a corner, looking at the insignias above the two on the ring, ¡°Lanyue also reached the Gold Stage?¡±


    Lin Lanyue didn¡¯t know Li Tianyou.


    But that didn¡¯t stop Li Tianyou from falling for Lin Lanyue at first sight.


    There were quite a few senior year boys who had secret crushes on Lin Lanyue, but very few had the courage to actually confess.


    ¡°Damn, Li Yuan is also at the Gold Stage?¡± Gu Qianghan stared at the emblem above Li Yuan¡¯s head, ¡°No wonder Teacher Xu praised Li Yuan so much.¡±


    The revelation that both parties to the duel were at the Gold Stage instantly cranked up the atmosphere.


    ¡°Oh? Both at the Gold Stage?¡± Principal Tan was also slightly surprised, ¡°I wonder if they have reached 500 points. If so, they¡¯re both qualified for special admission.¡±


    ¡°Old Tan, I told you, these two students are extraordinary,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile. ¡°Otherwise, why would I bring you here?¡±


    Let alone senior year students.


    Even many students at Martial Arts University didn¡¯t reach the Gold Stage.


    ¡­


    ¡°You¡¯ve reached the Gold Stage?¡± Holding his long spear, Li Yuan stared at the red-haired Lin Lanyue, quite surprised.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network classifies into nine stages: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Fallen Star, Bright Moon, Sun Eclipse, Transcendent, Legendary, Martial Sage.


    For minors to reach the Gold Stage was extremely rare.


    Even many of the self-proclaimed martial arts experts who are big streamers are mostly at the Bright Moon Stage, with very few reaching Sun Eclipse Stage.


    Transcendent Stage and above? Those who reached it were already top martial artists in the real world and wouldn¡¯t be streaming.


    At least, Li Yuan had never seen any Transcendent Stage masters when watching streams.


    He had only seen them in some combat videos.


    ¡°Just you can break through?¡± Lin Lanyue asked, looking at Li Yuan with a cold voice.


    Lin Lanyue wasn¡¯t surprised that Li Yuan had reached the Gold Stage, she had anticipated it.


    ¡°You have animosity towards me?¡± Li Yuan sensed vaguely.


    The next instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Lanyue made her move.


    Her armor was also a fiery red, making her look like a blaze as she charged toward Li Yuan like lightning.


    With a physical quality of level 8.0, her burst speed reached 18 meters per second, and her standard fist strength was 800 kilograms.


    And the diameter of the arena was only 30 meters.


    From initiation to closing in, Lin Lanyue could reach Li Yuan in no more than 2.2 seconds.


    ¡°Chi~¡± A fiery red long sword struck at Li Yuan like lightning.


    ¡°Rip~¡±


    Li Yuan cracked a smile and gripped his long spear, his body moving in an instant, fiercely thrusting forward.


    Central level thrust!


    ¡°Clang!¡± The fiery red long sword collided with the long spear, and the spear trembled, deviating in direction, while the sword turned in mid-air like a viper striking back.


    ¡°This swordsmanship.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit bizarre. Its explosive power is so strong. It¡¯s even stronger than my spear¡¯s straight thrust. Could it be a move associated with the high-rank cultivation methods?¡± Li Yuan wondered in surprise.


    He had heard early on that Lin Lanyue practiced the Blazing Flame Burning Heaven Cultivation Method from among the seven high-rank cultivation methods.


    Each method is divided into many parts, such as stance-practice methods, breathing techniques, and fist techniques.


    Li Yuan had never come into contact with high-rank cultivation methods.


    But he knew it was an advancement of one of the Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods, the Blazing Flame Cultivation Method.


    ¡°The ¡®Blazing Flame Cultivation Method¡¯ excels in attacking, and this high-rank cultivation method should be the same. Head-on attacks are not my strong suit, and her swordsmanship level is also at the third stage.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique changed in his hand: ¡°I must be careful.¡±


    The long spear was swiftly retracted, switching from attacking to placing the spear in defense.


    At the same time, Li Yuan started to move, using his movement technique to unload force.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± Sword light and spear shadow collided rapidly, striking over ten times in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°How steady are his steps and foundation?¡± Lin Lanyue was also surprised: ¡°My use of ¡®Sea of Fire Sinking Boat¡¯ was actually unloaded by him with a single spear stroke.¡±


    In Lin Lanyue¡¯s view, Li Yuan, who was all about defense, seemed like a tortoise.


    She couldn¡¯t break through at all.


    ¡­


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    ¡°How did Li Yuan block Lin Lanyue¡¯s continuous sword attacks?¡±


    ¡°Awesome!¡±


    ¡°His stepping technique is so exquisite.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique, so stable.¡± Most of the spectators were amazed.


    They had mostly seen higher-level live duels and recorded fights.


    But subconsciously, they viewed those as martial path masters, not expecting a classmate to be so strong.


    ¡°Do you know what it means to be the top martial arts student of the year?¡±


    ¡°I always said Lin Lanyue was no match for Brother Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Come on, Brother Yuan, finish her.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan¡¯s spear is always enduring!¡±


    ¡°He can even block several strikes from Teacher Xu¡¯s class. How much more so Lin Lanyue?¡±


    The students of class 3 (2) were excited.


    They weren¡¯t highly skilled, but they understood a simple truth of martial arts: the longer one¡¯s attacks are unsuccessful, the greater their energy consumption tends to be.


    ¡°His defense is indeed good.¡±


    ¡°This sword technique, it should be derived from ¡®Sea of Fire Sinking Boat¡¯, attacking fiercely.¡± Principal Tan also commented, with a touch of surprise: ¡°Li Yuan actually blocked it. His spear technique is really stable. He should have comprehended a defensive move.¡±


    ¡°Xu Bo, you¡¯ve taught a good disciple,¡± Principal Tan said with a smile.


    ¡°Old Tan, since you said that, why don¡¯t you quick approve his first-rank scholarship.¡± Xu Bo said with a laugh.


    Principal Tan immediately shut his mouth.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Xu Bo smiled and said no more, continuing to watch the fight, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shook his head, saying, ¡°Lin Lanyue has been careless.¡±


    ¡­


    Above the arena, Lin Lanyue continuously unleashed her sword techniques, her attacks like relentless flames, applying constant pressure.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s long spear, whether it was sweeping, flicking, retreating with footwork, or occasionally thrusting straight to force a retreat.


    Lin Lanyue was unable to get close.


    After mastering the technique ¡®Solid Rock Pillar¡¯, Li Yuan¡¯s focus on defense had the essence of an immoveable mountain.


    ¡°The fifty-seventh sword,¡± Li Yuan silently counted in his mind: ¡°She has been on the attack, her energy is depleting, and her sword force weakening.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s getting anxious.¡±


    ¡°In a fight to the death, once you become hasty, you¡¯re prone to making mistakes, just wait.¡±


    On the fifty-ninth sword, Li Yuan keenly captured a slight change in the threat of the opponent¡¯s sword technique.


    The sixty-third sword.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The sword light flared like fire, swift and fierce.


    Lin Lanyue was still launching fierce attacks, bent on breaking through Li Yuan¡¯s defense. Her swordsmanship was sharp, but unbeknownst to her, she had somewhat relaxed her own defense.


    After all, from start to finish, Li Yuan had never gone on the offense and had been strictly defending.


    ¡°Now is the time!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes suddenly shone brightly, sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan completely disregarded Lin Lanyue¡¯s strike, his long spear vibrating fiercely as if it were a giant dragon hidden amidst countless rocky cliffs, exploding forward with a piercing thrust.


    Spear technique killing move¡ªDragon Hidden in the Gorge!


    ¡°Not good!¡± Lin Lanyue immediately realized something was amiss, feeling Li Yuan¡¯s momentum change in an instant, as if a ferocious beast had bared its fangs.


    The force was formidable.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late to retreat.¡± Realizing this, Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes gleamed with cold light, without any hesitation.


    Instead of retreating, she thrust her sword even more fiercely.


    ¡°Thump!!¡±


    The long spear pierced through the armor, directly penetrating Lin Lanyue¡¯s chest, blood streaming down as her body dissipated into nothingness.


    The light armor couldn¡¯t block Li Yuan¡¯s spear.


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    The next instant, the fierce long sword also struck Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder, blood splashing.


    ¡°Clang~¡± The long sword fell to the ground.


    On the arena, only the injured Li Yuan remained.


    ¡°The spear is longer than the sword, so I had an extra 0.1 second of reaction time.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, then revealed a slight smile.


    ¡°One minute, two thousand Blue Star Coins in hand.¡±


    ¡°What a thrill!¡±

 Chapter 22 - 20 Rewards of the Fallen Star Rank

    Chapter 22: Chapter 20 Rewards of the Fallen Star Rank


    ¡°Congratulations on your duel victory, Guardian¡¤Yuan, your account has received 2000 Blue Star Coins, transferable to¡­¡± Li Yuan had already received the notification from the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    The stakes for both sides were agreed upon before the match, and Lin Lanyue had transferred the funds in advance.


    Therefore, as soon as he won, the money was credited to Li Yuan¡¯s account.


    ¡°The near-real combat, where I don¡¯t have to worry about injury, is indeed more satisfying than solitary practice in reality,¡± Li Yuan grinned, ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that it¡¯s not 100% realistic, so it¡¯s not as thrilling.¡±


    In this era, why do Martial Path strongmen emerge one after another?


    The virtual network plays an irreplaceable role.


    ...


    Take the Starry Skies Fighting Network, for instance; it has many flaws, such as not being able to fully simulate real moves, with some data becoming distorted.


    Additionally, it can¡¯t scan everyone¡¯s real body data, so the data for the conscious body and the real body are different, and it can¡¯t achieve a perfect fit.


    But!


    Through consciousness connection, participants can still engage in a large number of fights and moves that are difficult to experiment with continuously in reality.


    In real combat, one mistake can mean death or severe injury.


    How many real battles could martial artists of the past experience in a lifetime? Most practice alone, and it was already good if they had a few sparring partners.


    But in this era, every Martial Artist, before fighting with Star Realm Creatures in actual combat, can go through thousands, even tens of thousands of virtual battles, not only vastly improving their training efficiency.


    It also hones their mindset, courage, and skills.


    In the battle between Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue, both had reached the age of 16, hence the blood, severed limbs, and other effects were realistically simulated.


    However, since they were underage, the pain was only set to 10%.


    If it were adult competition, the pain would be at a minimum of 20%, with the highest setting being an astonishing 80%, closely resembling a life-and-death battle.


    ¡°Starry Skies Fighting Network.¡±


    ¡°Essentially, it¡¯s a real combat training camp for Martial Artists,¡± mused Li Yuan to himself.


    Human civilization as a whole now revolves around ¡®war¡¯.


    ¡­The battle between Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue was intense.


    It ended in less than a minute.


    After all, each random strike from their spear or sword exerted thousands of kilograms of force. Grasping just one small opening in the opponent¡¯s defense usually resulted in a deadly blow.


    Before Li Yuan¡¯s spear exploded forward, aside from the teacher Xu Bo, who had noticed the signs early on, many students still felt that Lin Lanyue had the upper hand.


    ¡°Li Yuan has been retreating all along, a prolonged defense is bound to fail! Can such defense really hold up?¡± a boy questioned.


    ¡°You know nothing!¡± Zhou Qi scoffed, ¡°Brother Yuan is the strongest.¡±


    Zhou Qi might not understand, but he knew that Li Yuan had the highest Martial Arts Skills scores.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue¡¯s attack is very aggressive. If Brother Yuan slips even the slightest, he will lose,¡± Wan Xiao, with better observation, said, ¡°But Brother Yuan¡¯s defense is flawless¡­ I feel his Spear Technique has gotten stronger than during the last test.¡±


    ¡°Who should I be rooting for?¡± Li Tianyou watched, his heart still torn.


    Then, suddenly.


    ¡°Brother Yuan is awesome!¡± Zhou Qi, wearing leather pants, suddenly jumped up, punching the air wildly, overwhelmed with excitement, ¡°He won!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A sudden Spear Thrust? Lanyue lost?¡± Li Tianyou¡¯s eyes widened, watching the scene in disbelief.


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s ruthless, how could he stab her in the chest?¡±


    ¡°Sister actually lost?¡± Gu Qiang held his breath in shock, ¡°This Li Yuan, he really didn¡¯t hold back at all.¡±


    ¡°So fast, Li Yuan is so brutal.¡± A buzz of astonishment circulated among the Spectator Platform, as these students were all amazed.


    They had thought that even if Li Yuan were to win with a defensive counterattack, it would take dozens more moves at least.


    Nobody expected a sudden reversal at the peak of Lin Lanyue¡¯s offensive.


    The Straight Thrust burst forth.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s body got pierced, even her Combat Armor was penetrated, showing the dominion of the spear.


    It was incredibly brutal.


    ¡°Li Yuan won!¡±


    ¡°So what if it¡¯s the Elite Class? They still got knocked to the ground!¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, number one in skill.¡± The students of High School Year 3 Class 2 were quite excited and took pride in his victory.


    So what if it was the Elite Class? So what if you awakened your Martial Spirit? Countering and bringing down the so-called favored children of heaven is the hot-blooded tradition engraved in the bones of the people of Xia Country.


    It¡¯s also the most enjoyable story to witness.


    ¡°Li Yuan doesn¡¯t show any mercy, not even to women, that¡¯s Lin Lanyue for goodness¡¯ sake!¡± Some of the boys were somewhat indignant.


    ¡°Are you joking?¡±


    ¡°Idiot, huh!¡±


    ¡°Fool, in a life-and-death fight, you expect to be spared? Not enough of a lapdog yet?¡±


    ¡°Flirting at a time like this?¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re so capable, go have a match with Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°To like someone is to respect her,¡± which drew more retorts from students, ¡°In a fight to the death with Star Realm Creatures, do you also spare the pretty ones?¡±


    Most of the boys came to support Lin Lanyue.


    But they wouldn¡¯t really consider Li Yuan¡¯s actions cruel, at most they saw him as fierce and domineering.


    When Li Yuan was victorious, they cheered just the same.


    In a fight, you have to give it your all. Carelessness and underestimating the opponent is irresponsible to oneself.


    The purpose of the fight is victory!


    This is the first lesson every student learns in Martial Path class.


    ¡°The greatest respect you can show your enemy is to go all out to kill them. Only the person who wins and survives is worthy of talking about spirit and honor.¡± This is a quote from Lant, the world¡¯s second strongest fighter.


    At this moment.


    The system announced, already echoing above the challenge platform: ¡°The moment of glory has arrived; victory belongs to ¡®Defender¡¤Yuan.¡¯ His long spear was like an insurmountable barrier, successfully defending his honor and becoming the ultimate victor.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°The challenge space will close soon, 60, 59¡­¡± Text appeared on the screen above the platform.


    Many people quickly began to leave.


    Whoosh! Lin Lanyue, who had just been eliminated, reappeared on the platform, no longer wearing her combat armor.


    She had reverted to her original attire.


    The wound on Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder had also healed, and his weapons and armor had vanished.


    In a non-combat state, in a non-combat space, it was impossible to harm others.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue, thank you for letting me win,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Lin Lanyue frowned slightly and said, ¡°Your spear technique is indeed powerful; I am not your match.¡±


    A little over ten seconds after the battle had ended.


    Lin Lanyue reviewed it right away and understood that Li Yuan¡¯s martial arts skills really were superior.


    Otherwise, her relentless assault with dozens of strikes could not have been so effortlessly blocked by the opponent, who ultimately counter-struck with a single thrust to kill her.


    This could only mean that there was indeed a gap between them.


    ¡°But there is one thing, I hope you will explain clearly to me and the other students,¡± Lin Lanyue said, staring at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Explain?¡± Li Yuan was startled, immediately thinking of the hostility Lin Lanyue had shown at first.


    ¡°Are you referring to what the others were saying?¡± Li Yuan shook his head, about to explain, ¡°It has nothing to do with me, it¡¯s them who¡­¡±


    Bang!!


    A figure rushed onto the platform.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, you won today. What¡¯s our next step?¡± Zhou Qi excitedly ran onto the platform.


    Li Yuan was surprised: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°It has nothing to do with you?¡± Lin Lanyue glanced at Li Yuan and then at Zhou Qi with a slight frown but did not say anything else.


    She left the virtual space directly.


    ¡°Eh? Why did Lin Lanyue leave?¡± Zhou Qi realized belatedly, ¡°Brother Yuan, did I ruin the mood between you two? I just got too excited, didn¡¯t I?¡±


    Li Yuan was silent for three seconds before he slowly said, ¡°Old Zhou, I want you to do something for me.¡±


    ¡°What is it? Just say the word, Brother Yuan,¡± Zhou Qi said confidently.


    ¡°Be my sparring partner.¡±


    ¡°Fight me in ten matches,¡± Li Yuan said with a hint of a smile; ¡°Otherwise, I won¡¯t feel at ease.¡±


    ¡°Sparring partner?¡± Zhou Qi turned and tried to slip away.


    ¡­¡±He¡¯s so cool!¡±


    ¡°How come I didn¡¯t notice this before in school?¡±


    ¡°I kind of want Li Yuan to be my third boyfriend. I¡¯ll ask him out at school tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Let me have him; I only have one.¡± A few girls were still discussing in low voices, seemingly worried others might overhear.


    The 60-second countdown ended, and the combat space closed.


    ¡­


    After practicing (and dominating) in three matches with Zhou Qi and Wan Xiao, Li Yuan let them go.


    He returned to his personal combat space.


    All was quiet.


    ¡°Next, it¡¯s time to start ranking up,¡± Li Yuan thought, and a light screen appeared in front of him:

    ¡°According to the rules, underage players who reach 500 points in the Gold Stage get a reward of 50,000 Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°If I can reach the Fallen Star Stage, I¡¯ll get a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°My birthday is in August, and it¡¯s going to be tough to reach the Fallen Star Stage in the coming year.¡±


    ¡°However, with my two trump cards, there is still hope of reaching 500 points in the Gold Stage,¡± Li Yuan said as he clicked to begin.


    Ranking match matchmaking.


    ¡°Win a match, earn 1-12 points; lose a match, lose 1-12 points,¡± Li Yuan recited in his mind. ¡°The more points you get if your opponent¡¯s rank is higher than yours and you win.¡±


    ¡°If your opponent¡¯s rank is lower and you lose, you¡¯ll lose a lot of points.¡±


    ¡°I hope I can make it in one go today,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.

    ¡°`


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network has over ten different multiplayer combat modes, including battle royale for a thousand players, Star Realm Survival, ranked matches, matchmaking fights, and individual duels.


    Modes like the battle royale and Star Realm Survival typically involve teams of 3-10 players, challenging not only individual strength but also teamwork, and they are extremely popular.


    Many martial arts streamers spend years in these two modes of combat.


    If they co-operate well, they can completely achieve victory against stronger opponents.


    Li Yuan, Yan Zhou, and Zhou Qi would often form teams during their leisure time only to face crushing defeats¡­


    ...


    But the true martial arts masters who aspired to push the limits of their lives and hone their martial arts skills¡­


    would focus more on ¡®ranked matches¡¯.


    With exactly the same physical quality and a random combination of cold weapons¡­ the contest is about the combatants¡¯ martial arts skills and their awareness in battle.


    The purest form of martial combat.


    Only the victor survvies.


    Since his junior year of high school, aside from practicing in reality, Li Yuan spent almost every holiday, summer vacation, and winter vacation participating in ranked matches.


    His main goal was to sharpen his own martial arts skills through these virtual duels that were close to real fights.


    ¡­In the ranked match arena, a huge platform with not a single spectator.


    Shua! Shua!


    Li Yuan and a fiery red figure appeared simultaneously on opposite sides of the platform.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Lin Lanyue, you¡¯re also in ranked matchmaking?¡± The two stared at each other, both somewhat taken aback.


    Neither expected to be matched again just two minutes after their duel had ended.


    It was extremely rare.


    Both ranked and matchmaking fights paired fighters with equivalent ranks from around the globe.


    Just how many were at the Gold Stage worldwide?


    At least ten million.


    Both fell into an uncomfortable silence, then three seconds later.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to lose.¡±


    Lin Lanyue was the first to speak, her eyes fixed on Li Yuan as she coldly said, ¡°You may be slightly better in martial arts skills, but that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m bound to lose.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm, you¡¯re right,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    42 seconds later.


    On the platform.


    ¡°Puchi!¡±


    His long spear was like a dragon, as Li Yuan once again suddenly erupted, ruthlessly piercing Lin Lanyue¡¯s chest with his fierce long spear.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Lin Lanyue, enduring the intense pain of being impaled by the spear, only managed to shout one word.


    Before her entire being turned to nothingness.


    ¡°You¡¯ve gotten a bit smarter, refraining from rash attacks, always probing,¡± Li Yuan retrieved his spear, gently shaking his head: ¡°It¡¯s just a pity, I only revealed a single flaw, and you were duped again.¡±


    ¡°You really want to win against me too badly.¡±


    ¡°The more you want to win, the easier it is to lose,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself: ¡°Always keep a steady mindset.¡±


    ¡°Steady as an old dog, you advance unstoppable.¡±


    At this point.


    Li Yuan had received a system notification: ¡°Congratulations, Guardian Yuan, you¡¯ve won this Gold Stage match, points +10!¡±


    ¡°Her rank points were higher than mine.¡±


    ¡°So the system considers my win bonus points?¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Winning a fight and earning 10 points was a significant amount.


    ¡°Continue matching,¡± Li Yuan willed.


    ¡­


    In another private space.


    ¡°So annoying!!¡±


    ¡°Damn Li Yuan, it must have been on purpose, aargh!!¡±


    Alone in a space with a starry sky backdrop, the red-haired Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t hold back any longer, grinding her teeth as she murmured to herself: ¡°I curse you to never find a wife in your life.¡±


    For Lanyue, losing wasn¡¯t something she cared about.


    She didn¡¯t even know how many times she had lost in ranked matches.


    If it were just two simple losses to Li Yuan, she wouldn¡¯t be so angry.


    She was prepared for the possibility of defeat when she agreed to the duel. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    What mattered was how she lost.


    Twice she had been pierced through the chest by a long spear; once might be coincidence, but twice? Still coincidence?


    ¡°Calm down! Lin Lanyue, you need to stay calm,¡± Lin Lanyue took a deep breath, striving to calm herself down: ¡°In martial arts cultivation, the first thing is to remain calm, not to panic in any situation.¡±


    Suddenly.


    Drip¡ª A communicative call.


    Seeing the name displayed on the communication projection.


    ¡°Big Brother?¡± Lin Lanyue hesitated, then murmured softly, ¡°Xiao Qing, answer the call.¡±


    Buzz¡ªthe projection changed, revealing a young man wearing blue martial arts attire, quite handsome.


    The man¡¯s features bore some resemblance to Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°Little sister,¡± said the man with a smile.


    ¡°Big Brother,¡± Lin Lanyue suppressed the irritation in her heart, revealing a small smile: ¡°What made you suddenly contact me?¡±


    ¡°What, I can¡¯t get in touch with you?¡± the young man said with a smile.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but snort, ¡°Big Brother, think about how long it¡¯s been since you last got in touch with me.¡±


    The young man smiled indulgently and said, ¡°I heard from Xiao Qiang that you lost a duel with a classmate on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, so I came to see how you were right away.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n, that loudmouth.¡± Lin Lanyue frowned. ¡°I¡¯ll go teach him a lesson at school tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Qiang is just worried about you, so he told me.¡± The young man smiled. ¡°As an older sister, don¡¯t be too hard on him.¡±


    ¡°I know¡ª¡± Lin Lanyue elongated her tone.


    But in her mind, she was figuring out how to deal with Gu Qiang tomorrow at school.


    ¡°I watched your fight video.¡± The young man spoke seriously. ¡°It¡¯s normal for you to lose, aside from being at a disadvantage with weapons, that boy¡¯s spear technique is also much higher than yours, I reckon he must be at the Third Stage Intermediate Rank.¡±


    ¡°Third Stage Intermediate Rank?¡± Lin Lanyue was slightly surprised, aware of the ranking divisions of Martial Arts Skills.


    Lin Lanyue could sense that Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Skills were higher, but she hadn¡¯t expected him to be so much stronger than her.


    ¡°His movement technique should also be at the Third Stage level, I fear he might have a chance to be listed in the ¡®Blue Star Youth Rankings¡¯.¡± The young man said. ¡°That¡¯s enough to qualify for special recruitment.¡±


    ¡°Blue Star Youth Rankings?¡± Lin Lanyue was even more astonished.


    With her family¡¯s vision, she naturally understood the significance of this list.


    ¡°How about his Physical Quality?¡± the young man asked casually.


    ¡°So-so, I reckon just over level 6, hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit yet.¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    She had some understanding of Li Yuan¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit?¡± The young man was taken aback, then shook his head. ¡°That¡¯s a bit of a pity.¡±


    The young man had only asked casually, without truly caring.


    To him, whether Li Yuan was good or bad didn¡¯t matter.


    ¡°Little sister, your Swordsmanship should have just broken through to the Third Stage,¡± the young man laughed. ¡°In a normal sparring match, you¡¯d have a hard time winning against that boy even out of a hundred attempts.¡±


    Lin Lanyue involuntarily bit her lower lip.


    She was unwilling to accept it at heart, but she also knew her second brother¡¯s judgment was possibly even more astute than Teacher Xu Bo¡¯s.


    ¡°Having such a Martial Arts Skills genius as a classmate is a good thing,¡± the young man smiled. ¡°It¡¯s also a warning for you, so you won¡¯t get overly proud thinking you¡¯re the top of the middle school grade.¡±


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t,¡± Lin Lanyue frowned. ¡°Second Brother, did you come to comfort me, or to lecture me?¡±


    ¡°Haha, okay.¡±


    ¡°My mistake, I won¡¯t scold you anymore.¡± The young man laughed. ¡°You focus on honing your Swordsmanship, there¡¯s still half a year¡¯s time, strive to break into the Blue Star Youth Rankings.¡±


    ¡°With that qualification, when you enter Starry Sky University, you will be given more attention, and dad can also apply to the family for more resources for you,¡± the young man said.


    ¡°Yeah, I know.¡± Lin Lanyue nodded.


    She wasn¡¯t young anymore, soon to be of age, and was very clear on how the family operated.


    When there are many children, only those who are sufficiently excellent can receive the family¡¯s resource investment for cultivation.


    Otherwise, even upon reaching adulthood, you¡¯d barely get fifty thousand Blue Star Coins per month for living expenses.


    Forget about anything else.


    ¡°In two weeks, after Big Brother and I come back from the United States, we¡¯ll come visit you specifically,¡± the young man smiled.


    ¡°Your matters are resolved? Is dad not coming?¡± Lin Lanyue was quite surprised.


    ¡°Dad has to go to Ross Country, there are still military affairs to attend to,¡± the young man shook his head.


    ¡°Oh!¡± Lin Lanyue pursed her lips, rather disappointed.


    Before long.


    Lin Lanyue ended the call with her second brother.


    ¡°Third Stage Intermediate Spear Technique, Third Stage movement technique?¡± Lin Lanyue murmured to herself: ¡°This Li Yuan, he progresses so fast.¡±


    She remembered very clearly.


    In freshman year, there was no mention of Li Yuan in the grade rankings; he rose suddenly in sophomore year.


    In just one year, by the end of the sophomore final exams, he had burst into the top thirty of his grade, even surpassing her in the single Martial Arts Skills score.


    In reality, losing a single top score had minimal impact on Lin Lanyue.


    But it made her take note of the name Li Yuan.


    ¡°In that exam, I was only a few points behind in skill score, which means the gap wasn¡¯t big.¡± Lin Lanyue clenched her teeth. ¡°Now, he has become so much stronger than me in Martial Arts Skills?¡±


    Lin Lanyue didn¡¯t quite understand.


    She had received excellent Martial Arts education since childhood, had the guidance of a dedicated Swordsmanship teacher, and she practiced diligently¡­ yet, she was rapidly overtaken and surpassed by him.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°Just as dad said, there are always some geniuses in this world.¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head to herself. ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that without awakening Martial Spirit, it¡¯s too hard to achieve great success in the Martial Path.¡±


    She was verbally annoyed, feeling that in both bouts, Li Yuan had done it on purpose.


    But deep inside, Lin Lanyue felt some regret for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡±


    ¡°Following the ¡®Mind Method¡¯ dad helped me with, I can almost go through forty ranking matches at one time.¡± Lin Lanyue resumed matchmaking.


    Ordinary people get a headache from playing video games for too long.


    The virtual fights on the Starry Skies Fighting Network are much more taxing on the spirit.


    Especially when injured or defeated, that intense pain is extremely stimulating for the mind.


    So, virtual duels can¡¯t go on indefinitely.


    ¡­


    Night, nine o¡¯clock.


    In the virtual network, Starry Skies Fighting Network, inside Li Yuan¡¯s personal space.


    ¡°Finally, almost there.¡± Li Yuan took a deep breath, eyes scanning over his ranking match panel:


    Ranking Match: Gold Stage.


    Points: 496 (1000 points needed to participate in promotion matches)


    ¡­


    From two o¡¯clock in the afternoon until nine at night.


    For seven hours, Li Yuan had hardly rested, fighting a total of 192 matches.


    He won 120 matches and lost 72.


    And had pushed his points from 112 to 496.


    Only one victory away from reaching 500 points.

 Chapter 24 - 22 Global [4684] Name

    Chapter 24: Chapter 22 Global [4684] Name


    The ranking battle mode, with consecutive wins, would occasionally match Li Yuan with those masters above 500 points in the Gold Stage,


    but those were still the minority¡ªmost of the time, he was prioritized to match with players who had nearly the same amount of points.


    ¡°After creating ¡®Hidden Dragon in the Cleft,¡¯ my Spear Technique has greatly improved. Now, when I face the Martial Arts masters in the lower levels of the Gold Stage, my win rate has increased significantly,¡± Li Yuan said with a hint of exhaustion but still brimming with fighting spirit.


    His points had been soaring up until now.


    ¡°Ordinary adults, with insufficient spiritual power, would probably need to rest after six or seven battles, and can fight a maximum of twenty to thirty bouts per day at most; otherwise, they would strain their energy and affect their real-life cultivation,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes twinkled with light. ¡°But me, I can experience up to two hundred virtual battles in a single day and still maintain my peak condition.¡±


    Why had Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Skills skyrocketed over the past year?


    ...


    Aside from his innate comprehension in Spear Technique,


    it also had an inseparable relationship with his continuously strengthening spiritual power.


    The stronger the spiritual power, the more control he has over his body during daily practice, the faster the improvement in his Spear Technique.


    Similarly, in the virtual Combat Network battles, he could fight more bouts.


    His year of virtual fights was equivalent to the training many others would accumulate over three or even five years.


    With such conditions, how could Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Skills not improve rapidly?


    ¡°The last battle, I must win,¡±


    ¡°Five thousand bucks, they¡¯re mine,¡± Li Yuan clicked on the option box¡ªStart Matching.


    Beep¡ªMatch Successful.


    ¡°Entering the ranking match soon, your opponent is in the Gold Stage (499 points)¡­ Countdown 10, 9¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Inside a broadcasting room on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, the live stream title read, ¡®Martial Path Champion¡¯s Road, Furiously Rushing to 500 Gold Stage Points.¡¯


    In the broadcasting room was a young elf-dressed girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and¡­ a middle-aged commentator.


    ¡°Brothers,¡±


    ¡°Xiu¡¯er, who is aspiring to be the Martial Path champion of South Bright City, surpassed 360 points in Martial Arts Skills during the last school Martial Path test¡­ today, she attempts to rush to 500 points in the Gold Stage,¡±


    The girl occasionally tossed her head, looking quite adorable as she awaited the match.


    But the middle-aged commentator was very excited.


    ¡°Reaching 500 points in the Gold Stage, not to mention South Bright City, even in the whole of Jiangbei Province, there are still fewer than 50 people under 18 who can reach this stage¡­ Let¡¯s see if Xiu¡¯er can succeed in her third attempt,¡± the middle-aged commentator quickly said.


    ¡°Oh! Match successful!¡±


    ¡°The opponent¡¯s points are 496, another Martial Arts master aiming for the Gold Stage,¡±


    ¡°In her previous two attempts today, the opponents both had over 600 points. This time, with only 496 points¡­ let¡¯s watch with anticipation¡­ 5, 4¡­¡± the middle-aged man said excitedly.


    There were plenty of Martial Arts livestreamers in the Gold Stage.


    But for underage broadcasters to reach the Gold Stage was quite rare. The additional appeal of battling for the top spot in the college entrance exam, an elven young girl, attractiveness¡­ these gimmicks attracted even more attention.


    This broadcaster named ¡°Xiu¡¯er¡± was quite popular on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    At the moment, the viewing count had already surpassed two thousand people.


    Of course, as a minor, she couldn¡¯t broadcast alone; at least not until over 16 years old, and even then, a guardian must accompany her and there¡¯s a time restriction on weekly broadcasts¡­ all mandated by law.


    ¡°This time, I should succeed,¡±


    ¡°The opponent¡¯s 496 points seem much weaker than the last two,¡±


    ¡°Knock out the opponent.¡±


    ¡°Xiu¡¯er has fought over 30 matches today, with a win rate of 56.6%, which is very good. I¡¯ll tip her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been watching Xiu¡¯er¡¯s broadcasts for two years,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nurturing! Raising a Martial Path champion, I¡¯m just waiting for the day Xiu¡¯er becomes one,¡±


    ¡°She¡¯ll definitely win,¡± a torrent of text bullet comments, voice bullet comments, image bullet comments flashed by¡­ along with various tips.


    Suddenly,


    Whoosh! The live broadcast scene shifted, forming a fighting arena, and a young man with a long spear appeared on the other side of the stage.


    ¡°A young man?¡±


    ¡°The opponent looks so young; could he also be a minor?¡±


    ¡°Definitely an adult, this is just a virtual image. If he were also a minor, wouldn¡¯t he be vying for the top spot in the college entrance exam too?¡± the audience discussed among themselves.


    ¡­


    On the battle stage,


    ¡°Hm? So many people?¡± As soon as Li Yuan stood on the stage, he realized that the previously empty Spectator Platform suddenly filled with a massive crowd, teeming with thousands of viewers.


    ¡°A big broadcaster?¡± Li Yuan glanced around, and his gaze finally rested on the elven girl holding a silver long spear twenty meters away.


    Normally in Gold Stage matching, even if you encountered a broadcaster, having a hundred spectators was considered good.


    Meeting a big broadcaster with thousands of viewers? It was the first time Li Yuan had encountered such a thing today.


    Li Yuan could completely block out the sound from the Spectator Platform and ignore the external audience¡­ but he chose not to.


    ¡°A broadcaster?¡±


    ¡°Seems to be an underage girl broadcaster?¡± Li Yuan heard some of the audience¡¯s voices, ¡°Let¡¯s see how strong she can be.¡±


    In fact, Li Yuan had tried broadcasting before; he had thought about earning money through live streaming to ease his family¡¯s financial pressures¡­ but he soon realized.


    This industry was deeply complex.


    Unless one was a super-high-level expert in the Sun Eclipse Stage, becoming popular as a broadcaster was very difficult.


    Those who did become popular broadcasters had more than just Martial Arts Skills to thank.


    Being good at fighting did not guarantee proficiency in broadcasting.


    Making money was never simple in any field.


    Moreover, Li Yuan was very clear in his understanding that virtual battles were ultimately just an auxiliary means for honing Martial Arts Skills, and real-life cultivation was the core.


    The purpose of making money, too, was for cultivating the Martial Path.


    One should not lose sight of the essence by focusing on the superficial.


    ¡°Xiu¡¯er?¡± Li Yuan looked at the name of the elf girl, vaguely recalling having scrolled past her live broadcast videos.


    But the impression wasn¡¯t deep; she likely wasn¡¯t one of the top broadcasters.


    ¡°Hello.¡±


    ¡°May I take a turn with this?¡± asked the elf girl, holding a silver long spear with a giggly smile, quite adorable.


    Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brows.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, the elf girl moved with the speed of an 8.0-grade Physical Quality, like lightning as she charged toward Li Yuan.


    ¡°Xiu¡¯er starts playing dirty again.¡± Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Stab him!¡±


    ¡°This guy must have been tricked, probably hasn¡¯t watched Xiu¡¯er¡¯s livestream.¡± The Spectator Platform erupted with numerous voices.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The silver long spear thrust straight!


    ¡°Straight Thrust?¡±


    Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yuan gripped the spear with his left hand and supported it with his right, thrusting straight with a midline stance as well.


    It was as though both were using a mutually destructive move.


    But the long spear Li Yuan had chosen was nearly three meters long, about half a meter longer than his opponent¡¯s¡­ and Li Yuan¡¯s character model was taller with longer arm reach.


    It was destined that Li Yuan¡¯s spear would be the first to strike the opponent.


    An inch longer, an inch stronger.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    At the moment their spear tips crossed, the elf girl¡¯s Silver Spear suddenly trembled, unleashing terrifying strength in an attempt to knock Li Yuan¡¯s long spear aside¡­ clearly, she had realized her weapon¡¯s disadvantage.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    However, Li Yuan, as if foreseeing her move, similarly shook his long spear with equal hardness.


    Then, with a glance from the corner of his eye, he swiftly backpedaled, landing and neutralizing the impact of the force.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± A violent rush of air from the spear wind.


    The elf girl¡¯s follow-up thrust came up empty, the spear tip just an inch from Li Yuan¡¯s head.


    ¡°Despite the continuous collisions, she still maintains the stability of her spear for consecutive attacks¡­ This must be some kind of killer move,¡± Li Yuan dodged the thrust and made a judgment, ¡°I must be cautious.¡±


    In a usual scrimmage, repeated impacts cause recoil that transmits through the spear, affecting the fighter, making many maneuvers difficult and requiring adjustment.


    If the opponent can attack consecutively, it indicates that the combination is very special.


    Such killer moves are those that perfectly harness Vigor, allowing for defense and attack combinations that ordinary people can¡¯t achieve.


    ¡°Such quick reflexes, such strong movement technique,¡± the elf girl said, equally surprised at her pretty face.


    This combination was one of her killer moves, which often took her opponents by surprise and allowed her to resolve fights in just a few moves.


    ¡­¡±Such impressive movement technique.¡±


    ¡°Very steady!¡±


    ¡°The common folk includes a true master.¡±


    ¡°Xiu¡¯er just got outplayed,¡± laughed many spectators on the Spectator Platform; they weren¡¯t really concerned about winning or losing.


    ¡­


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±


    With each collision, both sides proved to be masters of Spear Technique, constantly moving at high speed and probing for opportunities.


    Each was trying to find the other¡¯s weakness and seize the chance.


    But Li Yuan was very steady, scarcely initiating an attack, preferring not to attempt glory but to avoid fault, his defenses repeatedly blocking the elf girl¡¯s Silver Spear.


    ¡°Virtual combat is for honing Spear Technique, fighting one more or one fewer battle makes little difference,¡± Li Yuan thought calmly, not in a hurry.


    But desperation gradually grew in the elf girl.


    She could hear the murmurs of the surrounding audience, many making light of her with comments like ¡®kind of boring,¡¯ ¡®won¡¯t you fight,¡¯ ¡®charge in,¡¯ ¡®just circling around,¡¯ ¡®are these two putting on a play,¡¯ ¡®Can you still be called Xiu¡¯er if you can¡¯t put on a show,¡¯ ¡®Where¡¯s all that bragging now,¡¯ ¡®told you she¡¯s not up for it¡¯¡­¡±


    While the elf girl wanted victory, the race to 500 Points and the associated rewards, she was also looking for an impact on her livestream.


    ¡°This guy, like a turtle.¡±


    ¡°If this keeps up, the fight won¡¯t end in five minutes, probably half the spectators will leave, not waiting any longer,¡± the elf girl gritted her teeth and took the initiative to attack.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Bang~¡±


    Mere moments after the spear shaft and tip collided several times, Li Yuan kept retreating while the elf girl advanced with each step.


    ¡°Here¡¯s my chance,¡± the elf girl¡¯s eyes sparkled.


    In less than ten exchanges, as Li Yuan was almost backed to the edge of the ring and the elf girl thought she was about to win.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The normally defensive Li Yuan suddenly exploded into action, his long spear thrusting swiftly.


    ¡°Rip~¡±


    The long spear tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound!


    ¡°Not good,¡± ¡®Xiu¡¯er,¡¯ the elf girl¡¯s pupils contracted. Just as she thought of retreating, the spearhead pierced through her throat.


    It was simply too fast!


    The skirmish had lasted nearly two minutes, with her dominating the scene for over ninety percent of that time.


    But as she launched a continuous attack at the moment when her old strength was spent and new strength had not yet emerged, Li Yuan seized the opportunity for a decisive blow.


    ¡°The Martial Arts livestream is popular with spectators, who will tip with gifts for entertainment, allowing one to profit.¡±


    ¡°Sometimes those spectators can also ignite one¡¯s passion for battle,¡± Li Yuan silently retrieved his spear, glancing toward the now bustling Spectator Platform nearby: ¡°But acting on momentum can also result in being constrained and troubled by it.¡±


    ¡°Life-and-death battles should be pure.¡±


    ¡°Fighting isn¡¯t for show, it¡¯s about determining life and death.¡±


    ¡°Your Martial Arts Skills are not inferior to mine, but you didn¡¯t focus your heart entirely on the battle,¡± Li Yuan stared at the spot where the elf girl had vanished: ¡°That is why you lost.¡±


    Life-and-death battles have never been determined solely by Physical Quality or Martial Arts Skills.


    It¡¯s also about mentality.


    Practicing the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique, Li Yuan had a frighteningly stable mentality.


    ¡°Congratulations, Defender¡¤Yuan, you¡¯ve won this Gold Stage match, Points +10.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, Defender¡¤Yuan, you¡¯ve reached 500 Points at the Gold Stage, eligible to claim a reward of 50,000 Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, Defender¡¤Yuan, you have entered the ¡®Starry Sky Youth Ranking,¡¯ placed at number [4684] globally, number [1224] in the Xia Country District, and number [47] in the Jiangbei Division, detailed rankings can be checked through the following methods¡­¡±

 Chapter 25 - 23 Special Admission Qualifications

    Chapter 25: Chapter 23 Special Admission Qualifications


    Starry Skies Fighting Network, Personal Space.


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness had just returned to his body.


    Rustle~ Countless lights and shadows converged, coalescing into the figure of a young girl dressed in a green ancient costume.


    ¡°Guardian Yuan, congratulations on your entry into the Youth Rankings of Blue Star. Your status within the Starry Skies Fighting Network has been elevated,¡± the girl in the green costume said with a slight smile. ¡°From today onwards, I will be your dedicated artificial intelligence customer service in the Starry Skies Fighting Network, at your service throughout the entire process. You may name me.¡±


    ¡°Dedicated artificial intelligence customer service?¡± Li Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    AI intelligence in this era was already very advanced.


    ...


    As far as Li Yuan knew, usually only when a user had charged up a certain amount of money into the ¡®Starry Skies Fighting Network¡¯ and purchased many additional services could they get their own dedicated AI customer service.


    Unexpectedly, simply being listed on this so-called Youth Rankings of Blue Star also had this benefit.


    ¡°Xiaoyu,¡± Li Yuan said directly. His own AI wristband was named Xiaoyu as well.


    One size fits all.


    ¡°Xiaoyu is pleased to serve you,¡± the girl in the green dress said with a small bow, looking very innocent.


    ¡°I want to view the Youth Rankings of Blue Star as well as the order of the list,¡± Li Yuan said directly.


    ¡°Understood,¡± the girl replied with a wave of her delicate green hand, as a light screen projection appeared before Li Yuan.


    It contained a great deal of text description, along with various videos and images.


    Li Yuan quickly understood.


    ¡°The Youth Rankings of Blue Star are compiled by the ¡®Starry Skies Fighting Network.¡¯ Anyone who reaches 500 points at the Gold Stage is eligible for entry,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°According to rumors, behind the Starry Skies Fighting Network are the Seven Star Alliance, the three Great Martial Halls, and various powerful nations¡­ It serves not only as a high-intensity method to hone martial artists¡¯ martial arts skills, but also to select martial arts prodigies.¡±


    Now it seemed, the rumors were not unfounded.


    ¡°The Youth Rankings of Blue Star purely evaluates martial arts skills,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly. ¡°That makes sense; the Starry Skies Fighting Network can easily filter candidates without expending additional resources.¡±


    ¡°If they were to assess both martial arts skills and scrutinize physical quality and talent¡­ that would essentially be a college entrance examination,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    Whether it¡¯s all of human civilization or just a single country, efforts are made to screen out talents in technology and martial arts¡­ The college entrance exam is the most extensive and comprehensive evaluation method.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network, by contrast, is about selecting for a single criterion: martial arts skills.


    ¡°The Youth Rankings of Blue Star cover the entire Blue Star region. The list resets every year on September 1st,¡± Li Yuan continued to read.


    ¡°Any youth who has not reached the age of 18 before the deadline on September 1st is eligible to enter the next year¡¯s Youth Rankings of Blue Star.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately realized that this so-called Youth Rankings of Blue Star did not comprise only minors.


    The oldest on the list might be nearly 19 years old.


    For example, those born on September 2nd.


    However, if they were indeed martial arts prodigies, they could reach the Gold Stage and amass 500 points at the age of 14 or 15, allowing them to be listed on the Youth Rankings of Blue Star for four or five consecutive years.


    ¡°So by this calculation, the current list of the Youth Rankings of Blue Star hasn¡¯t even been updated for a month?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Less than a month, and there are already 4,684 individuals listed?¡±


    And that was just within the region of Blue Star.


    Looking at the civilization of the Seven Great Planets, how many must be listed?


    If one were to wait until next year, how many more would be on the list by August?


    Let alone those from Blue Star who emerged as martial arts prodigies within a year.


    ¡°Anyone who can surge to 500 points on the Gold Stage won¡¯t have martial arts skills inferior to mine,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly. ¡°My martial arts skills are unmatched in the Guan Mountain District¡¯s First High School.¡±


    ¡°But on a global scale? It¡¯s nothing special,¡± Li Yuan calmed himself.


    He felt the insignificance of his own achievements.


    The world was indeed vast.


    ¡°But every journey begins with a single step, and at least I¡¯ve made it onto the list,¡± Li Yuan then chuckled to himself. ¡°In the entire Jiangbei Province, including me, there are only 47 people ¡ª probably most of them are sophomores or juniors in high school.¡±


    In Jiangbei Province, there were over a million high school seniors.


    In terms of martial arts skills, Li Yuan had already surged to the top echelon of a million high school seniors.


    A year ago, Li Yuan would not have dared to imagine achieving such success.


    After reading through all the contents,


    ¡°Stage rewards?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on the last page, his eyes lighting up.


    ¡ª¡ªStage Rewards (Before turning 18):


    1. Reach 500 points at the Gold Stage, receive a reward of 50,000 Blue Star Coins.


    2. Reach the Fallen Star Stage, receive a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins.


    3. Reach the Bright Moon Stage, receive a reward of 20 million Blue Star Coins.


    ¡ª¡ªStage Rewards (Ages 18 to 30):


    1. Reach the Fallen Star Stage, receive a reward of 10,000 Blue Star Coins.


    2. Reach the Bright Moon Stage, receive a reward of 200,000 Blue Star Coins.


    3. Reach the Sun Eclipse Stage: receive a reward of 5 million Blue Star Coins.


    ¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s so extravagant,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself. ¡°A reward of 20 million Blue Star Coins?¡±


    Twenty million! That¡¯s what an average person would hope to earn in a hundred years of work.


    But Li Yuan had to admit, the difficulty was indeed high; to reach the Bright Moon Stage before the age of 18.


    If they surpassed 18 years of age, even if they reached the Bright Moon Stage, the reward would only be 200,000 Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Never mind the Bright Moon Stage, reaching the Fallen Star Stage before the age of 18 would probably be difficult too,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, casually asking, ¡°Xiaoyu, how many on the Youth Rankings of Blue Star have achieved the Fallen Star Stage by now?¡±


    ¡°As of today, there are 44,¡± the girl in the green dress, Xiaoyu, replied, ¡°but the specific list cannot be disclosed.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded.


    He had already found when attempting to view the list that he could only see general statistical data.


    But the specific names? Who had made it onto the Youth Rankings of Blue Star?


    Unable to query.


    ¡°Perhaps, this is a form of protection,¡± Li Yuan thought darkly. ¡°In some sense, those who are on the list are all martial arts powerhouses of the future, though they have not yet matured.¡±


    Though one could find a wealth of information through various countries¡¯ school exam results, college entrance exam scores, and so on¡­


    But the difficulty of gathering information in either case was clearly not on the same level.


    ¡°Rewards.¡± Li Yuan looked at the three-stage rewards listed on the page, deep in thought. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Bright Moon Stage? That¡¯s too far off, somewhat unrealistic.¡±


    ¡°But Fallen Star Stage?¡±


    ¡°My birthday is on August 29, and I have about eleven months to hone my martial arts skills.¡±


    ¡°Even if I don¡¯t reach it before the college entrance exam, it doesn¡¯t matter, I can continue to work hard after the exam.¡±


    ¡°As long as I reach the Fallen Star Stage, there¡¯s a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan set his goal in his heart.


    He was full of anticipation, brimming with motivation.


    Because this was a goal he truly had hopes of achieving.


    As long as he reached 1000 points in the Gold Stage and then won the promotion match, he would be in the Fallen Star Stage.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try a few more matches,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but click ¡®Stage Matching¡¯.


    Six minutes later.


    ¡°Lost!¡±


    ¡°Lost!¡±


    ¡°Three consecutive losses, all against experts with over 600 points, I lost them all,¡± Li Yuan returned to his personal space, feeling somewhat helpless.


    Not only did he not gain points, but he had dropped back down to 491 points.


    Li Yuan calmed down as well.


    ¡°It seems that 500 points is indeed a threshold. With my strength, I have a winning rate of over 80% against those under 500 points,¡± Li Yuan reviewed today¡¯s battles. ¡°Facing experts with 500 points, especially those over 600 points, my chances of victory are less than 30%.¡±


    ¡°This means, to dominate at the Gold Stage with my martial arts skills, I¡¯m still far off.¡±


    To think about reaching the Fallen Star Stage without being nearly unbeatable at the Gold Stage?


    It¡¯s practically a fool¡¯s dream.


    The gap between each rank in the Starry Skies Fighting Network is vast, almost insurmountable.


    ¡°Little Jade, my points fell below 500, that won¡¯t affect my reward, right?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°It won¡¯t affect it.¡±


    ¡°The Blue Star Coin reward is based on your historical highest score,¡± the girl in green said with a smile. ¡°The 50,000 Blue Star Coin reward will be issued to your bank account after a unified review on Monday.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan nodded his head.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network, as the number one game in the virtual network, is also endorsed by the authorities¡­trustworthy.


    ¡°Log out,¡± thought Li Yuan.


    He left the virtual network.


    ¡­


    After leaving his room.


    ¡°Bro, come and have an apple, I¡¯ve cut it for you,¡± his sister Li Qianqian called from the sofa.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Watching a projection? What¡¯s this show?¡±


    ¡°Bro, it¡¯s not a drama series; it¡¯s a documentary, ¡®Exploration of the Rob Sea Star Realm,¡¯ by our country¡¯s first explorer who first entered the Rob Sea¡­¡± His brother Li Muhua quickly explained, reciting the details like it was precious knowledge.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan nodded, sat down, and watched the documentary with his brother and sister while eating apples.


    The interior of the Star Realm is very unique; many technological devices fail to function.


    Added to that, numerous Star Realm Creatures roam freely, putting one in constant danger¡­ Over the decades, human civilization has been fighting, but there is not much footage about the depths of the Star Realm.


    ¡°These explorers are all martial artists, huh? They leap up cliffs tens of meters high as if it were nothing,¡± Li Muhua couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Without the strength of a martial artist, who would dare to venture into the Star Realm? Isn¡¯t that suicide?¡± Li Yuan laughed. ¡°Moreover, they are not ordinary martial artists.¡±


    At the very least, their physical quality must exceed level 20!


    ¡­


    After watching the documentary for half an hour, their aunt came out of the master bedroom and urged everyone to go to bed.


    After washing up, Li Yuan returned to his room.


    He was in no rush to tell his aunt about reaching 500 points in the Gold Stage.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait until both sums of money are truly in my account,¡± Li Yuan stood barefoot in the room.


    ¡°I¡¯ve spent the entire day in the virtual network.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t neglect the Basic Cultivation Method.¡±


    ¡°Two hours of ¡®Solid Rock Cultivation Technique¡¯ first, then the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯,¡± Li Yuan quickly made a decision.


    For Li Yuan, having a snack with his brother and sister and watching a projection show was already a rare relaxation.


    Martial Arts Cultivation had no shortcuts.


    It¡¯s about daily accumulation.


    ¡­


    Late at night.


    When Li Yuan got up at three in the morning and quietly left home to rush to school.


    In Jiangbei Province, at the Martial Arts Hall.


    The smart system and the duty personnel had already received an unremarkable file pending review.


    ¡°Blue Star Youth List 2042-2043 period, entry number [4684], name ¡®Li Yuan,¡¯ place of residence ¡®Guan Mountain District, Jiang City, Jiangbei Province¡¯¡­ Please conduct a comprehensive assessment of this individual within 10 days to confirm whether he qualifies for the special recruitment of Martial Artist Students.¡±

 Chapter 26 - 24: Arrived! Joy!

    Chapter 26: Chapter 24: Arrived! Joy!


    ¡°`


    At eight in the morning, at Guan Mountain District¡¯s Number One High School.


    Li Yuan was frowning, twirling his pen while working on the math test paper in front of him, feeling waves of headache, derivatives, limits, continuity, indefinite integrals, linear transformations¡­ College content from over a century ago, now they had all become high school math exam topics.


    People in this era are much stronger physically, and their learning efficiency is higher, so exam difficulty has increased as well.


    ¡°Math is really difficult.¡±


    ¡°Memorizing history and biology is way easier than this,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, yet he was seriously working on these math problems.


    ...


    Since his junior year, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had been continuously improving, which significantly increased his thinking speed and memory¡­ As a result, even though he only spent four hours a day on his academic studies, his grades were still not left behind by his classmates.


    Even among the whole grade, his academic performance had improved.


    Keep in mind, Guan Mountain District¡¯s Number One High School is a key school, and an average student there would be considered a top student in some regular high schools.


    However, this was also approaching the limit of Li Yuan¡¯s academic study potential.


    An increase in memory greatly improved Li Yuan¡¯s performance in subjects like language, history, and biology, which require a lot of rote memorization¡­ But subjects like math and physics were difficult.


    Unfortunately, in the current college entrance examination, math and physics are the subjects with the highest score weighting.


    ¡°I must study hard and try to get full basic scores in math, physics, and chemistry.¡± Li Yuan resolved.


    Just then.


    Buzz~


    Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring vibrated twice in quick succession.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lighting up.


    ¡°Your account ending in 1486 has received 50,000.00 Blue Star Coins¡­ transferred into account ending with¡­ balance 83,124.64 Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°Your account ending in 1486 has received 50,000.00 Blue Star Coins¡­ transferred into account ending with¡­ balance 133,124.64 Blue Star Coins.¡±


    Two sums of money, fifty thousand was a reward from the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Another fifty thousand was an award for a Second Class scholarship.


    ¡°Good!¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but clench his fists; if it weren¡¯t for being in class, he would probably have jumped up in excitement.


    100,000 Blue Star Coins!


    From childhood till now, Li Yuan was receiving such a large sum of money for the first time.


    Most importantly, in a way, this was a reward gained through his own efforts.


    It¡¯s fundamentally different from what his uncle and aunt gave him.


    Just like many people remember receiving their first paycheck after growing up and starting work, even if they later obtained ten times, a hundred times more wealth¡­ it couldn¡¯t replace the significance of that first paycheck.


    The first time is always special.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, what¡¯s up? You seem so happy? Did you solve a big problem?¡± Yan Zhou, who was sitting beside, glanced at his own test paper and whispered, ¡°Let me see.¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    Li Yuan calmed down, subconsciously glanced up in the direction of the teacher to see if the teacher had noticed him, ¡°I only answer the first question every time.¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Some students, don¡¯t think the teacher can¡¯t see you, it just that I don¡¯t want to call out your name,¡± a cold voice sounded, ¡°Do it yourself! Can you cheat like this during the college entrance exams?¡±


    Li Yuan and Yan Zhou both lowered their heads and closed their mouths at the same time.


    ¡­


    At nine in the morning, in the principal¡¯s office.


    The principal, Tan Zhenlong, who was working, suddenly looked up at a flickering light screen projection not far away.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s the ¡®Director Wang¡¯ from the Education Bureau,¡± a gentle voice rang out.


    ¡°Number Nine, answer the call,¡± Principal Tan set down his pen, ¡°Activate reception mode.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Woosh~ The principal¡¯s office immediately changed as beams of light swept across, significantly altering the decor of the office, making it visibly more comfortable through the change in lighting.


    ¡°Director Wang,¡± Principal Tan said with a smile.


    In the projection, a young man wearing a jacket appeared, looking to be about thirty years old.


    ¡°Principal Tan, sorry to disturb you,¡± Director Wang said with a smile, ¡°I need to trouble you with something, it¡¯s about a student at your school.¡±


    ¡°A student?¡± Principal Tan became curious instantly.


    ¡°Yes, this morning the city¡¯s Martial Arts Hall notified us that we need to report information about a student from your school named Li Yuan, he should be a senior,¡± Director Wang said, ¡°Yesterday, he just broke into the Blue Star Youth Rankings¡­¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan? I know of this student, he is a good prospect,¡± Principal Tan nodded repeatedly, ¡°I understand, I¡¯ll compile the data and send it to you right away.¡±


    Having worked in the education sector for decades, he had encountered similar situations more than once.


    Principal Tan already understood the implications and knew what he needed to do.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s all routine, I won¡¯t keep you any longer,¡± Director Wang said with a smile, ¡°Go ahead with your work.¡±


    Ending the video call.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°The Blue Star Youth Rankings? He made it on so quickly?¡± Principal Tan was surprised as he sat at his desk.


    Yesterday, he had been invited to see the match between Lin Lanyue and Li Yuan and felt that the latter might make it onto the Blue Star Youth Rankings.


    But he didn¡¯t expect it would happen so quickly.


    After thinking for a moment.


    ¡°Number Nine, contact Teacher Xu Bo,¡± Principal Tan spoke, and the connection was quickly made.


    ¡°Old Tan, you looking for me?¡± Xu Bo appeared in the video, smiling, ¡°What¡¯s up? Hurry up and say it, don¡¯t delay my cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Cultivating during work hours?¡± Principal Tan glared.


    ¡°No Martial Arts classes this morning, what else would I do if not cultivate?¡± Xu Bo replied with conviction, ¡°My diligent cultivation is also so I can do my job well.¡±


    Principal Tan couldn¡¯t help but smile helplessly, ¡°Let¡¯s not digress, I have something to tell you.¡±


    Quickly.


    ¡°`


    Principal Tan explained the relevant situation.


    ¡°The Blue Star Youth Ranking? Martial Arts Department? It must be about the special recruitment by the five prestigious schools.¡± Xu Bo shook his head lightly, ¡°Based on my experience, it¡¯s probably impossible to get the special recruitment qualifications.¡±


    In this era, the Martial Arts Department within Xia Country, responsible for managing martial artists, held astonishing power.


    The subordinate Martial Arts Hall and Martial Arts Offices were also extremely influential.


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s what I think too,¡± Principal Tan sighed lightly, ¡°Not awakening the Martial Spirit means you¡¯re not suitable for any high-rank cultivation methods. Future physical quality improvements will fall far behind those of other martial artists. Indeed, it¡¯s difficult to get directly recruited by one of the top five schools through special recruitment.¡±


    Xu Bo nodded slightly, without saying much more.


    Although he had a suspicion that Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality had improved remarkably and he had high actual talent¡­ that was just his guess.


    Over the years, not just throughout all of human civilization, but even within Xia Country alone, there had been many students like Li Yuan. Strong in martial arts skills, decent physical quality, but never able to awaken their Martial Spirit¡­


    Very few ultimately stood out.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just focus on training him well,¡± Principal Tan pondered, ¡°Even if the special recruitment isn¡¯t successful, with his results, it won¡¯t be difficult for him to get into a Martial Arts University. His future won¡¯t be bad.¡±


    ¡°In the future, he might even catch up to you,¡± Principal Tan suddenly said with a smile.


    ¡°I hope so,¡± Xu Bo changed the subject, ¡°By the way, Old Tan, since the special recruitment selection is going on, why don¡¯t you just give him¡­¡±


    Xu Bo was interrupted before he could finish speaking.


    ¡°Hang it up!¡± Principal Tan¡¯s face lost its smile as he waved his hand, ¡°Hang it up!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Special recruitment?¡±


    Xu Bo, dressed in his martial arts uniform, stood in his office and pondered, ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s just a pipe dream, no need to tell Li Yuan about it. It¡¯ll just make him uneasy.¡±


    Xu Bo continued to practice his Basic Cultivation Method.


    ¡°After my arm was severed, the nerve toxin wasn¡¯t completely cleared out, my Origin Power isn¡¯t flowing smoothly, and my dantian is also damaged, causing my physical quality to drop by four levels.¡± Xu Bo reflected silently, ¡°All these years, I¡¯ve only been barely able to maintain at level 19.¡±


    ¡°But at least, I¡¯m still alive.¡±


    ¡°As long as I don¡¯t give up, there¡¯s always a glimmer of hope.¡± Xu Bo¡¯s eyes shone with light.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan was completely unaware of his selection for the special recruitment qualification screening by the top five prestigious schools.


    It was noon, and classes were over.


    ¡°Old Zhou, you guys go ahead to the cafeteria, I¡¯ve got something to do,¡± Li Yuan told Zhou Qi and the others to go ahead.


    One by one, the classmates left until Li Yuan was the only one remaining.


    He approached the classroom door, glanced at the corridor, and confirmed that there was no one in the nearby classrooms.


    Unable to hold back any longer, Li Yuan immediately activated his smart ring, ¡°Xiao Yu, connect me to auntie.¡±


    ¡°Beep¡ªBeep¡ª¡±


    A full six seconds passed.


    The hum of a holographic screen projected in front of Li Yuan, visible only to him¡ªa privacy screen.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what¡¯s the matter? Why the urgent video call?¡± Aunt Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan anxiously, from what could be seen in the background, she was at her office.


    Chen Hui was a middle school teacher.


    ¡°Auntie, put on the headphones,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I have some good news for you.¡±


    ¡°Good news?¡± Aunt Chen Hui was taken aback.


    Soon she put on the headphones.


    ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s about the scholarship and¡­¡± Li Yuan promptly explained the situation, and concluded with emphasis, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, auntie, I¡¯m not lying to you, both amounts have already been deposited into the account.¡±


    As he spoke, Li Yuan sent a screenshot of the account to his auntie.


    ¡°100,000 Blue Star Coins?¡± Chen Hui was a bit surprised, her mouth hanging open slightly.


    This was almost the equivalent of her annual take-home salary.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Good!¡± Chen Hui repeated, her eyes slightly moist with emotion, and she instructed, ¡°Li Yuan, go ahead and eat. Remember to call your uncle after lunch, before one o¡¯clock, they rest from one to two in the afternoon.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯ll definitely be very happy when he knows about it.¡±


    Ever since her son and daughter entered middle school, adding Li Yuan on top of that, these past few years Chen Hui had felt a tremendous financial pressure.


    Particularly this month, her husband Li Changzhou had gone to the war front in Northern Border Province for a high compensation package.


    Chen Hui often lay awake at night, worried sick, dreading suddenly receiving a certain kind of news.


    But she couldn¡¯t show it in front of the children.


    Chen Hui knew that the 100,000 Blue Star Coins Li Yuan just received wouldn¡¯t solve the family¡¯s problems. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But at that moment, Chen Hui finally saw a glimmer of hope.


    ¡­After hanging up the phone with his auntie.


    Li Yuan tried to call his uncle, Li Changzhou, to share the good news with him.


    Beep¡ªBeep¡ª


    No answer.


    ¡°No answer?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback and couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit worried, then he reassured himself, ¡°Uncle must be busy with something.¡±


    Leaving a detailed message on the communicator and sending the screenshot of the deposit to Li Changzhou, Li Yuan had done everything he needed to.


    With that, Li Yuan finally felt a bit more at ease as he walked out of the classroom.


    The September sun poured down on the corridor and on him too.


    It was warm and comforting.


    ¡°Today¡¯s sunshine is really nice.¡± Li Yuan smiled as he went downstairs toward the cafeteria.

 Chapter 27 - 25 Message from the Martial Hall

    Chapter 27: Chapter 25 Message from the Martial Hall


    They had lunch.


    Students exited the cafeteria in groups of three or two, walking along the tree-lined path, all heading towards the Martial Path building.


    Senior year was exhausting, but during the rare free time at noon, most students still had smiles on their faces, brimming with youth and endless longing for the future.


    This contrasted starkly with off-duty workers.


    Li Yuan and Wan Xiao were on their way to the Elite Class building.


    Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou? They took different paths, so they split up after eating.


    ¡°That¡¯s Li Yuan, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ...


    ¡°Seems like it.¡±


    ¡°Wan Xiao was in the same class as Li Yuan before; the two of them together, the other one must be Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Is he the one who defeated Lin Lanyue?¡±


    ¡°I heard he likes Lin Lanyue, and he didn¡¯t hold back when striking.¡± Many senior year (class one) students passing by took note of Li Yuan and Wan Xiao.


    They all turned their heads to look.


    ¡°Li Yuan, after this fight, you¡¯ve truly made a name for yourself.¡± Wan Xiao said in a low voice with a laugh, ¡°Just now in the cafeteria, there were quite a few people looking at you.¡±


    ¡°The entire grade, even the freshmen and sophomores, are spreading your fame.¡± Wan Xiao exaggerated.


    ¡°Envious, huh? Isn¡¯t it all because you were spreading rumors?¡± Li Yuan glanced at him, ¡°Want to practice again?¡±


    Wan Xiao choked.


    Yesterday on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, he was ¡®sparring¡¯ with Li Yuan for three rounds.


    It was a nightmare.


    ¡°I¡¯ve said it wasn¡¯t me; it was Zhou Qi¡­¡± Wan Xiao shook his head repeatedly.


    ¡°You initiated it, and he amplified it,¡± Li Yuan had a clear train of thought.


    Wan Xiao suddenly changed the subject, ¡°By the way, Li Yuan, do you really have no feelings for Lin Lanyue? I see a lot of boys in the Elite Class are interested in her, but only a few dare to express it. Could it be that she¡¯s not pretty?¡±


    ¡°Lin Lanyue is quite pretty,¡± Li Yuan said casually, not noticing someone behind him.


    After all, there are so many people coming and going in the school; one can¡¯t always be aware.


    Suddenly.


    Two girls walked past Li Yuan and Wan Xiao, one of them dressed in practice attire, tall and slender, her long hair tied up high, and she glanced at Li Yuan from the corner of her eye.


    It was Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°Heard that? Wan Xiao did that on purpose,¡± Li Yuan immediately understood.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be a coward, if you like her, then say it out loud.¡± Wan Xiao yelled.


    At the same time, he was already laughing madly as he ran to the back.


    Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, not bothering to chase Wan Xiao, but instead waved his hand and greeted Lin Lanyue openly.


    This scene made Lin Lanyue freeze for a moment.


    Just now, she had indeed heard Li Yuan¡¯s words, but she didn¡¯t expect that Li Yuan would take the initiative to greet her.


    Looking at Li Yuan¡¯s smiling face.


    Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but think of yesterday¡¯s virtual combat, subconsciously touching her chest.


    ¡°Lanyue, he¡¯s greeting you,¡± the girl beside her, with waist-length hair, made faces, deliberately bumping Lin Lanyue¡¯s waist.


    ¡°Qiqi, let¡¯s go,¡± Lin Lanyue said softly, her slender fingers straightening out a lock of hair by her temple, quickening her pace.


    She didn¡¯t respond to Li Yuan.


    Nor did she look at him again.


    ¡°This Lin Lanyue, she was quite polite the first time we met, but today she ignored my greeting,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    He wasn¡¯t the type to shrink back in the presence of a pretty girl.


    He watched Lin Lanyue and the others enter the Elite Class building.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how was my assist?¡± Wan Xiao popped up from somewhere.


    ¡°Nicely done.¡±


    ¡°As a token of my gratitude, let¡¯s go to my Martial Arts Room first; I¡¯ll give you some free extra training,¡± Li Yuan said, draping his arm around Wan Xiao¡¯s shoulder with a firm grip that he couldn¡¯t break free from.


    ¡°Li Yuan, let go of me, I¡¯m not interested in you.¡±


    ¡­


    It was almost two o¡¯clock.


    Inside Martial Arts Room 4011, Li Yuan stood by the window, his gaze falling into the distance.


    A fine layer of sweat was seeping through his skin. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had just finished half an hour of Basic Cultivation Method, and his physical quality had improved slightly.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Drip¡ª¡± The sound of the smart bracelet rang.


    Li Yuan walked to the side and picked up his bracelet, revealing a pleased expression, ¡°Uncle?¡±


    The call connected.


    Hum~ A holographic screen projected in front of Li Yuan.


    On the opposing screen was Li Changzhou, wearing a helmet.


    ¡°Uncle,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, a trace of worry in his heart settling down.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Your aunt has already called and told me,¡± Li Changzhou said, sitting on a work chair and smiling, ¡°Good lad, you¡¯ve done well. I, your uncle, haven¡¯t reached 500 points in the Gold Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network in decades.¡±


    Li Yuan felt warmth in his heart.


    It wasn¡¯t because he had surpassed his uncle, but because of his uncle¡¯s recognition.


    ¡°How are things on your end, uncle?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°No worries, don¡¯t be concerned,¡± Li Changzhou replied with a smile, ¡°The Starry Sky Martial Hall has received a large batch of people. I reckon in a few days, we¡¯ll be launching a major counteroffensive¡­ I¡¯m calling you because there¡¯s another matter, related to you.¡±


    ¡°What is it, uncle?¡± Li Yuan asked immediately.


    ¡°It¡¯s about your Uncle Zhou. He specifically called me,¡± Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan, ¡°It seems like he wants to recruit you into the Starry Sky Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Join the Starry Sky Martial Hall?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    Human civilization had three great Martial Halls¡ªStarry Sky Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall, and Starfire Martial Hall.


    Starfire Martial Hall, founded by Dongfang Ji, the strongest person in human civilization.


    Black Stone Martial Hall, created by Lant, the second strongest person in human civilization.


    The Starry Sky Martial Hall, in no way inferior to the other two great Martial Halls.


    The three great Martial Halls represented the three most terrifying forces within the Martial Artist community and served as the main force against Star Realm Creatures.


    The divisions of the three great Martial Halls were spread across the Seven Great Planets.


    According to information Li Yuan gathered from the virtual network and books, at the Seven Star Alliance¡¯s highest council, the combined influence of the three great Martial Halls faintly eclipsed that of the major nations on each planet.


    Within Xia Country¡¯s borders, only the divisions of Starry Sky Martial Hall and Starfire Martial Hall were present, and their power was immense.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t the three great Martial Halls only joined by Martial Artists?¡± Li Yuan expressed his confusion.


    ¡°You¡¯d become a reserve member first,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°Your Uncle Zhou probably got wind through some channel that you¡¯ve become a member of the Blue Star youth rankings¡­ It¡¯s quite common.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    His Uncle Li Changzhou was a Martial Artist, and as far as Li Yuan knew, his uncle had apparently been a member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall in his early years and was well-versed in this area.


    ¡°There are three types of membership when joining a Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°One type is a registered member, which basically just means registering without many benefits or rights,¡± Li Changzhou said with a laugh, ¡°Like me, I¡¯m still just a registered member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall even now.¡±


    ¡°In name, all Martial Artists in human civilization will join one Martial Hall, but most Martial Artists maintain this kind of relationship with the Martial Halls.¡±


    ¡°Registered members are not hindered from joining other big groups, some Martial Artist organizations, or from joining the military or special state departments.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded to himself. Registered?


    It wasn¡¯t very useful.


    ¡°The second type is an internal member,¡± Li Changzhou continued, ¡°like being an employee of a company. You must sign a contract with the Martial Hall, get paid by the Martial Hall, be cultivated with the Martial Hall¡¯s resources, and in key moments, you must obey the Martial Hall¡¯s orders to fight.¡±


    ¡°Like your Uncle Zhou, he is an internal member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall,¡± Li Changzhou said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Uncle Zhou had a very good relationship with Uncle Li Changzhou.


    Every time he bought Basic Qi and Blood Elixirs, it was through Uncle Zhou, as he could get them at an internal price, with a 5 percent discount.


    ¡°Internal members are also ranked differently. If one¡¯s strength is too weak, such as below level 15, the assessments are usually very strict,¡± Li Changzhou explained, ¡°It¡¯s not something you can join if you want to.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    It was like some big corporations hiring employees, requiring high education, work experience, and interviews¡­ It was normal for an internal member of a Martial Hall to have high criteria.


    ¡°The third kind is a reserve member.¡±


    ¡°Even before becoming a Martial Artist, you can sign up early, which is usually reserved for martial path geniuses.¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°For your Uncle Zhou to seek you out means he sees great potential in you.¡±


    ¡°As a reserve member, the advantage is that you can get a substantial amount of Cultivation Methods resources ahead of time, mentoring by masters, Qi and Blood Elixirs, etc., all for free.¡±


    ¡°For free?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Hear me out,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch. There¡¯s always a price to pay for what you gain.¡±


    ¡°Once you sign to become a reserve member of the Martial Hall, when you become a Martial Artist, you must join the Starry Sky Martial Hall and become an internal member.¡±


    ¡°Besides,¡±


    ¡°Ordinary Martial Artists who join a Martial Hall as internal members can terminate their contracts at some cost.¡±


    ¡°But if you sign up early, the conditions for canceling the contract in the future will be much harsher,¡± Li Changzhou cautioned seriously, ¡°So, think it over.¡±

 Chapter 28 - 26 Hes Somewhat Special

    Chapter 28: Chapter 26 He¡¯s Somewhat Special


    After listening to his uncle¡¯s words,


    Li Yuan immediately thought of the trainees at numerous entertainment agencies.


    It seemed like a common tale.


    When big stars switch agencies, the contracts they sign are often very lenient.


    Trainees? A 9:1 split in their favor was considered quite good.


    Even more so, many agencies had no intention of nurturing trainees, instead planning to profit from their breach of contract fees.


    ...


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    In the holographic projection, Li Changzhou seemed to notice Li Yuan¡¯s concerns, and with a smile said, ¡°Martial Artists accumulate personal might within themselves, the more powerful they are, the harder they are to restrict. A peak Martial Path master possesses the might to destroy heaven and earth¡­ Even if you sign a contract early, it¡¯s not as dark as you imagine.¡±


    ¡°In fact, if you can sign early, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.¡± A rare trace of regret appeared on Li Changzhou¡¯s face as he sighed, ¡°Your aunt and I have limited abilities.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t talk like that, what you¡¯ve done is more than enough,¡± Li Yuan interrupted Li Changzhou, then asked, ¡°What should I do now, Uncle?¡±


    ¡°According to your Uncle Zhong, he wants to talk to you in person,¡± Li Changzhou said. ¡°I guess he wants to take a closer look at your Martial Path talent¡­ This is a good thing.¡±


    ¡°Set a time to meet with your Uncle Zhong first, then talk.¡±


    ¡°But no matter what terms they offer, do not agree to anything. Wait until they put out their terms, then get in touch with me,¡± Li Changzhou instructed. ¡°You¡¯ve just turned seventeen¡­ you have talent in Martial Path, keep working hard and maybe Starfire Martial Hall will approach you too.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, with you entering the Blue Star Youth Rankings, the country should also reach out through the school, and there¡¯s a chance they¡¯ll recruit you early.¡±


    ¡°You should think about it carefully first, and I¡¯ll also contact some classmates to find out more about the situation.¡±


    ¡°This will determine the path of your life.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded.


    He had understood what he needed to do; it was to showcase his talent and then choose the best contract to sign.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop here for today, I need to start work,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile.


    The communication was cut off.


    ¡°Special recruitment?¡±


    ¡°Early signing with Starry Sky Martial Hall?¡± Li Yuan put down his smart wristband, muttering to himself as he calmed down, ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve only awoken my Mind Spirit Divine Palace a year ago.¡±


    ¡°From now until the college entrance exam, as my spiritual power increases, my Martial Arts Skills will improve even faster, and my control over my body will become even greater.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparked with a light, ¡°Hence, my efficiency in practicing the ¡®Solid Rock Cultivation Technique¡¯ will be higher.¡±


    ¡°Unable to cultivate High-Rank Cultivation Methods? The rate of my physical quality improvement is still not slow.¡±


    Over the past year, Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality had been improving faster and faster, surpassing most students in the Elite Class.


    Why?


    It was due to his rapidly improving Martial Arts Skills and his continuous cultivation of the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯.


    ¡°Practice spear.¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his mind, took out a large spear from the weapon cabinet at his side, and silently pondered over his Spear Technique.


    More than an hour later.


    [Your Spear Technique level has increased from Third Stage 48% to Third Stage 49%]


    ¡°On weekdays, I ponder over the Spear Technique in reality.¡±


    ¡°Every weekend, I hone my skills in virtual combat. The combination of the two indeed provides a rapid improvement,¡± said Li Yuan with a hint of a smile. ¡°Since the start of school up to now, my Third Stage Spear Technique has improved nearly 20%.¡±


    This kind of progress within less than a month would be terrifying to share.


    ¡­


    The Martial Hall is a very special organization.


    It is somewhat akin to a multinational corporation, but not exactly the same.


    The three major Martial Hall branches are highly independent within their respective nations.


    Ordinary departments have no authority over them; only the Martial Arts Department does.


    Starry Sky Martial Hall, Guan Mountain District branch.


    This is a twelve-story, incredibly large circular building that is much larger than an average commercial complex and not too far from Guan Mountain District¡¯s First High School.


    In an office on the twelfth floor, the decoration is quite luxurious.


    ¡°Dong~ Dong~¡± The sound of knocking on the door.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s First Rank Martial Artist ¡®Zhong Cheng¡¯.¡± A gentle voice echoed in the office.


    ¡°Open the door, let him in,¡± a slightly cold female voice emanated from the resting area.


    Click~ The door opened.


    A middle-aged man in a black suit entered the office and came to the center, giving a slight nod and said, ¡°Vice Hall Master Song.¡±


    If it were an insider from the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s Guan Mountain District branch, they would immediately understand who the office¡¯s owner was ¡ª one of the three vice hall masters, ¡®Song Yi¡¯.


    The Guan Mountain District branch was only a five-rank branch of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    Even so, the power of a vice hall master was astonishing and not within reach of an ordinary martial artist.


    A young woman with a slender figure, whose loose martial attire couldn¡¯t hide her shapely body, walked out from a side resting room.


    She wore no makeup, but her skin was fair, with a melon seed-shaped face, and her eyes were extremely sharp.


    In her every move and stance, she exuded an invisible aura that revealed her extraordinary martial arts cultivation.


    ¡°Zhong Cheng, how is the contact going?¡± Song Yi asked the man in the suit, her gaze sharp.


    ¡°I¡¯ve spoken with Li Yuan¡¯s guardian today, and they agreed to our contact,¡± Zhong Cheng nodded and said, ¡°Additionally, I¡¯ve had two encounters with Li Yuan and am familiar with his situation¡­ The young man is decent and quite diligent in his training.¡±


    ¡°However, it seems that neither Starfire Martial Hall nor the Martial Arts Hall has reached out to Li Yuan,¡± Zhong Cheng said.


    ¡°It¡¯s better that they haven¡¯t made contact.¡± Song Yi¡¯s red lips curved into a smile, ¡°If the Martial Arts Hall had reached out, wouldn¡¯t our hopes be much reduced?¡±


    ¡°In Xia Country, most martial arts prodigies eventually choose special recruitment,¡± Song Yi said, ¡°For us to recruit, we mostly have to wait until they graduate from university.¡±


    Zhong Cheng couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    ¡°Vice Hall Master Song,¡± Zhong Cheng hesitated before saying, ¡°I have a good relationship with Li Yuan¡¯s family, but objectively speaking, I¡¯ve specifically looked into Li Yuan¡¯s data.¡±


    ¡°Starfire Martial Hall and the Martial Arts Hall haven¡¯t made any moves for a reason¡­ Li Yuan has not awakened his Martial Spirit, and while his martial arts skills are not bad, they aren¡¯t exaggerated either,¡± he explained.


    ¡°Hundreds of youths emerge every year on Blue Star¡¯s youth rankings in Jiangbei Province alone.¡±


    ¡°And there are other age groups of martial arts prodigies¡­¡± Zhong Cheng expressed his doubt, ¡°Is Li Yuan worth the great expense to sign him early?¡±


    The laws of the Seven Star Alliance stated explicitly:


    To sign a contract with a minor before term, the individual must be at least twelve years old.


    Next, they must provide cultivation resources worth at least one million Blue Star Coins each year, for no less than six years.


    Moreover, the one million Blue Star Coins provided yearly cannot include so-called ¡®instruction by a master¡¯ or ¡®training premises.¡¯


    At least half of it must be monetary rewards, and the rest must be tangible resources like qi and blood potions.


    It was designed to prevent Martial Halls from signing people indiscriminately.


    This meant.


    Signing early would cost the Starry Sky Martial Hall at least six million Blue Star Coins or more, not including other indirect expenses ¡ª a truly astonishing price.


    ¡°Under normal circumstances, Li Yuan indeed wouldn¡¯t be worth us signing early,¡± Song Yi said slowly, ¡°However, he has something special about him.¡±


    ¡°Special?¡± Zhong Cheng was taken aback.


    Whoosh~


    Suddenly, an abundance of light shot down from the ceiling, forming a projection screen displaying copious amounts of data, text, images, and videos.


    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Zhong Cheng was puzzled.


    ¡°The Starry Skies Fighting Network, which our Starry Sky Martial Hall directly controls,¡± Song Yi said with a mysterious smile, ¡°We¡¯re also the primary shareholders in the entire virtual network¡¯s controls.¡±


    ¡°By the Seven Star Alliance¡¯s agreements, a lot of information from the Starry Skies Fighting Network must be shared with the other two major Martial Halls and the host country.¡±


    ¡°So, whether it is the Starfire Martial Hall or the Xia Country Martial Arts Department, they would know immediately if Li Yuan entered the Blue Star youth rankings¡­ but specific match intelligence, winning rates about Li Yuan, we would not pass on to them,¡± she said.


    ¡°Just take a look, and you¡¯ll understand,¡± Song Yi pointed at the projection.


    Zhong Cheng immediately started clicking through the screen, browsing through Li Yuan¡¯s data.


    Soon.


    Zhong Cheng realized something was amiss.


    ¡°He completed 196 virtual battles within a single day?¡± Zhong Cheng was a bit shocked, ¡°How did he manage that? Can his mental consciousness endure it?¡±


    He immediately scrolled forward through the history records.


    He was shocked to discover.


    In the past three months, nearly every weekend, Li Yuan would engage in high-intensity virtual combat, the fewest being around ninety battles, and sometimes exceeding two hundred.


    ¡°This? This!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power?¡± Zhong Cheng¡¯s eyes lit up, already realizing, he blurted out, ¡°Is it at a martial artist level?¡±


    ¡°A ninety percent probability,¡± she said.


    ¡°Although we haven¡¯t conducted a detailed test yet, by my estimation, his spiritual power is at least level 11,¡± Song Yi said with a smile, ¡°Add to that his martial arts skills.¡±


    ¡°Do you think he is qualified for us to sign him early?¡±

 Chapter 29 - 27 C-Level? D-Level Contract

    Chapter 29: Chapter 27 C-Level? D-Level Contract


    ¡°`


    ¡°Enough.¡±


    ¡°His martial arts skills are improving rapidly, and it¡¯s definitely related to his strong spiritual power, but the most important factor is his comprehension of the spear technique,¡± Zhong Cheng, dressed in a black suit, said somewhat excitedly.


    ¡°The kid is barely seventeen¡­ It¡¯s very different from those who only made it onto the Blue Star Youth List close to nineteen.¡±


    ¡°So young, and his spear skills are already so high.¡±


    ¡°Normally speaking, there¡¯s a great chance that his spear technique will break through to the fourth level in the future.¡± Zhong Cheng took a deep breath, ¡°His spiritual power is so strong that once his body becomes even stronger, his spiritual power will probably quickly surpass level 20.¡±


    ...


    ¡°For Li Yuan, the two major difficulties in becoming a Prime Warrior aren¡¯t going to be problems at all in the future,¡± Zhong Cheng said as he looked towards Song Yi.


    As an official member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, Zhong Cheng was well acquainted with the operation mode of the Martial Hall.


    He was aware that the value paid for signing a prospective member in advance was at least ten million Blue Star Coins.


    Perhaps even more.


    But to spend such a huge sum, just to cultivate a first-rank martial artist with a physical quality of barely over ten levels?


    It simply wasn¡¯t worth it.


    The goal of signing in advance and focusing on cultivation was only one¡ªto cultivate a Prime Warrior.


    Song Yi was such a Prime Warrior.


    Because of her formidable strength, Song Yi was able to secure her position as the Vice Hall Master of Guan Mountain District¡¯s division.


    ¡°To become a Prime Warrior, there are three major difficulties,¡± said Song Yi with a slight smile, ¡°For most people, the hardest part is spiritual power, as it mostly depends on innate talent.¡±


    Zhong Cheng couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Physical quality not high? That can be enhanced through external means, there are many such treasures, and theoretically, as long as one has enough money, anyone can meet the physical requirements of a martial artist.


    Martial arts skills? That depends greatly on comprehension, but with instruction from a renowned master, improvement can be swift.


    Spiritual power? The treasures that can enhance spiritual power are unimaginably expensive, beyond even what Prime Warriors would dare to contemplate, so it largely comes down to talent.


    And now.


    In the eyes of Zhong Cheng and Song Yi, Li Yuan was one of those with exceptional talent for spiritual power.


    Combined with his level of spear skills.


    He was very much worth cultivating!


    ¡°Shall we contact him this week?¡± Zhong Cheng asked, ¡°Ask him to come to the Martial Hall?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s too hasty,¡± shook her head Song Yi.


    Zhong Cheng was taken aback, anxious.


    Did she not ask him to contact Li Changzhou immediately? And now she¡¯s saying it¡¯s too rushed?


    ¡°I asked you to contact him promptly for fear that the Martial Arts Hall and Starfire Martial Hall might detect something fishy and beat us to it,¡± Song Yi explained as she picked up her coffee from the side and stirred it gently, ¡°But now, we¡¯re pretty sure no one has reached out to him yet.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is a kid; he might just agree impulsively, but his uncle, Li Changzhou, isn¡¯t foolish.¡±


    ¡°If we reach out now, they will definitely ask to raise the terms of the contract.¡±


    ¡°So, let him cool his heels for a few days.¡±


    ¡°Once they realize that we¡¯re the only ones interested, negotiations will naturally go more smoothly,¡± Song Yi said with a smile.


    ¡°Trying to lower the price?¡± Zhong Cheng frowned slightly.


    Driving down the price isn¡¯t a good choice.


    Because, martial artists represent martial power, and martial power is the source of all authority.


    Pushing for a lower price during pre-contract negotiations could lead to backlash once the other party grows stronger.


    ¡°Start by lowering the price,¡± Song Yi said with a faint smile, then she spat out three more words: ¡°Then, raise it.¡±


    ¡°Create a difference in treatment.¡±


    ¡°In this way, we can show off Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s regard for talent, and make Li Yuan feel grateful,¡± Song Yi smiled, ¡°Besides, leave the matter of this contract to you.¡±


    ¡°You have my authorization for a C-level contract at most; don¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Hall Master Song,¡± Zhong Cheng nodded continuously, ¡°I will definitely handle this matter well.¡±


    ¡­


    Late at night, just past nine o¡¯clock, Li Yuan finished his cultivation practice and took the unmanned train back home from school.


    His aunt had been sitting on the couch waiting for him.


    ¡°Aunt!¡± Li Yuan called out.


    ¡°Back? Drink your high-energy milk first, it¡¯s on the table, just made a while ago,¡± his aunt said.


    ¡°Alright,¡± agreed Li Yuan with a nod.


    Except for Sundays when he ate at home, his three meals during weekdays were basically all at school.


    Worried about his high expenditure of energy during nighttime cultivation, his aunt would always calculate the time and prepare a cup of high-energy milk for him every night.


    Picking up the cup from the dining table, Li Yuan sat down in the living room.


    ¡°Aunt, with my allowance from Uncle for the last two months, plus the money I got today, I think I can make it till February, so there¡¯s no need to give me any for now,¡± Li Yuan spoke up as he drank his milk.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Chen Hui said with a smile, watching Li Yuan as he guzzled down the milk.


    She had always been very satisfied with Li Yuan.


    Obedient, sensible, and sometimes showing maturity beyond his years, he always made her feel at ease.


    As he grew older, Li Yuan began to show noticeable talent in martial arts.


    What used to worry Chen Hui was that she and her husband could not provide sufficient financial support for Li Yuan.


    This time, Li Yuan earned two bonuses on his own, which also gave her a bit more peace of mind.


    ¡°Your uncle sent me a message,¡± Chen Hui said, ¡°that Starry Sky Martial Hall is interested in signing you in advance. What do you think about it?¡±


    ¡°It depends on the terms that Starry Sky Martial Hall offers,¡± Li Yuan put down his empty cup and pondered, ¡°However, if the Martial Arts Hall is willing to recruit me specially, I would prefer to go that route.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°The best would be a special recruitment,¡± Chen Hui said quite satisfied, ¡°Special recruitment is akin to having a reserved spot in one of the top five schools, and after graduation, a job assignment is guaranteed. You might even directly enter the city¡¯s Martial Arts Bureau.¡±


    As a high school teacher, Chen Hui had a clear understanding of special recruitment and hoped most of all for Li Yuan to be specially recruited.


    In her view, special recruitment by the state not only guaranteed job placements but also was much safer than enlisting in the military¡ªat least if one stayed out of military ranks.


    But if you sign a contract with a Martial Hall, the future is uncertain.


    Members of a Martial Hall are those who will charge into the front lines of the Star Realm battlefield, with casualty rates no less than those of military martial artists.


    ¡°Mm-hmm, I¡¯ll listen to you, Auntie,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, understanding his aunt¡¯s concerns.


    Li Yuan had his own considerations as well.


    The three major Martial Halls, each gathering a large number of martial artists, were the most powerful communities of martial artists, surpassing even the nation.


    In terms of martial arts cultivation, choosing a Martial Hall could lead to faster progress, but it¡¯s often more dangerous.


    On the other hand, opting for the special recruitment from the Martial Arts Hall would mean administrative positioning, which would be best for his family in the future.


    With state resources for cultivation, the pace of martial arts progress wouldn¡¯t be slow either.


    ¡­


    When Li Yuan was full of anticipation,


    The ensuing developments were entirely beyond his expectations.


    The day after he made it onto the Blue Star Youth Ranking, Starry Sky Martial Hall contacted his uncle Li Changzhou once.


    After that, there was no more news.


    It wasn¡¯t just the Starry Sky Martial Hall that went silent; neither the Martial Arts Hall nor the Starfire Martial Hall showed any signs of interest¡ªno one came looking¡­ Time passed, day by day.


    In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had gone by.


    The time came to mid-October.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s calm disposition, after waiting so long, he was somewhat perplexed.


    That afternoon, his uncle Li Changzhou made a video call.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Your Uncle Zhong messaged me again today; he felt a bit embarrassed, so there¡¯s been no news for so many days. He¡¯s responsible for signing contracts at the Martial Hall,¡± Li Changzhou said seriously in the video projection, ¡°He really hopes to sign with you.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Zhong Cheng and Uncle Li Changzhou were undoubtedly good friends for many years.


    ¡°But he was frank with you¡ªyour issue is with Martial Spirit. Hence, his application for you was stalled during the second review, and now the higher-ups of the Martial Hall are discussing it,¡± Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan, ¡°But the result should be out in the next couple of days.¡±


    ¡°A result in the next couple of days? Because of Martial Spirit?¡± Li Yuan listened quietly.


    Was it again because of Martial Spirit?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged; your Uncle Zhong said he would do everything he can to fight for you,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°We might have been overly optimistic about this. Even if it doesn¡¯t work out, don¡¯t be disappointed.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t slack in your cultivation either,¡± Li Changzhou advised.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle, I¡¯m not cultivating Martial Path just to sign early with the Starry Sky Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°When the time comes, even if they want to sign, I might not be willing to.¡±


    He ended the video call.


    The smile on Li Yuan¡¯s face was gone.


    Standing inside Martial Arts Room 4011.


    ¡°Martial Spirit?¡±


    ¡°Because I haven¡¯t awakened it, do neither the Martial Arts Hall nor the Starfire Martial Hall give me a chance?¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, without Uncle Zhong, there wouldn¡¯t even be a glimmer of hope with the Starry Sky Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan gripped his long spear, silently thinking, ¡°Without a suitable high-rank cultivation method, is there no hope of becoming a powerful martial artist?¡±


    Neither Li Yuan nor Li Changzhou had ever considered that the Starry Sky Martial Hall might be doing this on purpose.


    After all, with the Starfire Martial Hall and Martial Arts Hall for comparison, there was no word from either party.


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly thrust his spear, a terrifying force erupted, nearly casting a residual image, followed by multiple spear shadows transforming, bursting through the air with piercing screeches.


    Suddenly, two notifications flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s vision.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has advanced from Third Stage 56% to Third Stage 57%]


    [Your Life Level has increased from 6.8 to 6.9]


    ¡­


    The next day, close to 10 p.m.,


    Li Yuan, who was in his room, suddenly received a video transmission.


    ¡°Uncle Zhong?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened slightly.


    He answered the call.


    Buzz¡ªthe projection immediately revealed a middle-aged man dressed in casual home attire, looking very spirited.


    ¡°Uncle Zhong,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Zhong Cheng chuckled, ¡°Calling you so late, I didn¡¯t disturb you, did I?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Zhong Cheng smiled, seemingly a little sentimental, ¡°I have some good news for you. Your contract application has been approved in the meeting. It¡¯s a D-level contract.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s passed?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Thank you, Uncle Zhong.¡±


    He had already prepared for the possibility of not being approved.


    ¡°No need to thank me; it was your own excellence.¡±


    ¡°Come to the Martial Hall at nine o¡¯clock on Sunday morning, and we¡¯ll discuss the specific terms,¡± Zhong Cheng said with a smile, ¡°No problem, right?¡±


    ¡°No problem.¡±

 Chapter 30 - 28: I, Li Changzhou, Am Not Yet Dead (Four Updates for Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 30: Chapter 28: I, Li Changzhou, Am Not Yet Dead (Four Updates for Monthly Pass)


    He ended the video call with Zhong Cheng.


    Li Yuan contemplated for a moment, afraid of disturbing his uncle Li Changzhou¡¯s rest, and chose not to make a direct video call. Instead, he first left a message.


    He briefly explained the situation.


    Just five minutes later.


    Beep¡ªbeep¡ªLi Changzhou initiated the video call back. Li Yuan immediately answered.


    ¡°Uncle.¡± Li Yuan looked at Li Changzhou in the projected video, covered in dust, as if he had just finished some work.


    ...


    ¡°I roughly know what¡¯s happening.¡± There was no joy on Li Changzhou¡¯s face that Li Yuan had anticipated, but rather his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, ¡°If the Starry Sky Martial Hall really only offers a D-grade contract in the end, then whether you sign it or not is another matter.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan was slightly puzzled.


    Special recruitment by the Martial Arts Hall had always been Li Yuan¡¯s first goal, yet there had been no news for the past half month.


    Actually, at the start, Li Yuan had not been so eager about signing with a Martial Hall ahead of time.


    But in recent days, Li Yuan had searched online for a lot of information and found that early signing with the major Martial Halls was generally good, apart from being quite binding, there weren¡¯t any pitfalls.


    Most importantly, as long as one signs early, no matter the grade, it indeed could greatly reduce the financial pressure on his family.


    He could even get cash rewards to support his family.


    In his heart, Li Yuan felt indebted to his uncle and aunt.


    He always felt that his uncle ventured to the Northern Border Province because of him.


    ¡°Through some connections, I¡¯ve pretty much figured it out.¡± Li Changzhou patiently explained, ¡°Over the years, the early signing contracts offered by the three grand Martial Halls have been divided into D, C, B, A, and S grades, five levels from low to high.¡±


    ¡°The contracts of the same grade from different Martial Halls are almost identical in terms.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed that in the eyes of Starry Sky Martial Hall, he belonged to the lowest tier?


    However, being able to sign early already marked him as extremely outstanding.


    ¡°A D-grade contract provides one million Blue Star Coins annually for six years,¡± Li Changzhou said somberly. ¡°It sounds good, but you need to understand.¡±


    ¡°The resources you currently need for your cultivation and the resources you will need after entering university and becoming a Martial Artist are two different concepts.¡±


    ¡°Take the basic blood essence potions, for example, one bottle costs just 2000 Blue Star Coins, and currently, you only need to spend twenty thousand Blue Star Coins a month on them.¡±


    ¡°After becoming a Martial Artist, just the First Rank blood essence potions used by a First Rank Martial Artist will cost 10,000 Blue Star Coins per bottle, and in a month you may need at least ten to as many as twenty or thirty bottles,¡± Li Changzhou said earnestly. ¡°Just this most basic item alone will cost at least a million Blue Star Coins a year.¡±


    ¡°Then there¡¯s the ¡®auxiliary divine spirit treasures.¡¯ If you aspire to become a Second Rank Prime Warrior in the future, these are indispensable, and they cost several million Blue Star Coins a year at the very least¡­¡±


    ¡°And there¡¯s physiotherapy¡­¡±


    ¡°And the purchase of weapons, various types of auxiliary equipment. Martial Artists have to fight with Star Realm Creatures, can their equipment be ordinary? It¡¯s expensive and easily damaged.¡± Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan, ¡°One million, for you right now, is a lot.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re not focused on the Martial Path but want to study other majors in the university.¡±


    ¡°Then you don¡¯t have to spend too much on the Martial Path. You can slowly cultivate at the university, aiming to become a level 15 Martial Artist, and this contract could even be considered generous. You might even be able to save a few million Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Changzhou said. ¡°After graduating from university, according to the contract, Starry Sky Martial Hall will still have to provide you with a job.¡±


    ¡°By then, like your Uncle Zhong, you can be an ordinary member in the Martial Hall. The benefits and treatments are no worse than those of a civil servant.¡±


    ¡°If Starry Sky Martial Hall initiates the termination of the contract and does not provide a job, you take those few million Blue Star Coins and find a new job, it¡¯s sure to be profitable.¡±


    ¡°This is a broad and bright path for those who wish to take it easy.¡± Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was shocked.


    He had not thought that there was such a way to play the game.


    ¡°But Xiao Yuan, are you really content with being an ordinary person? An ordinary Martial Artist?¡± Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    ¡°You¡¯re not satisfied,¡± Li Changzhou shook his head and sighed. ¡°I¡¯ve watched you grow, how could I not understand? Your frenzied cultivation, besides wanting to help the family, importantly, you have the heart of a Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°From the second year of junior high to your senior year of high school, have you ever taken even one day off on weekends, or during the summer or winter breaks? You were even cultivating during the New Year¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re harsh on yourself.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such determination, I¡¯m not your match, and your father wasn¡¯t either,¡± Li Changzhou said slowly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered. For so many years, his uncle rarely spoke so much, let alone mentioned his late father.


    ¡°Your aunt has always wanted you to take the civil service exam or become a teacher in the future. She¡¯s always blamed me, thinking I shouldn¡¯t have supported you.¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I object to you becoming a full-time Martial Artist?¡± There was a hint of excitement in Li Changzhou¡¯s voice, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to end up regretting like I did at the age of forty.¡±


    Li Yuan was shaken, looking at his uncle with amazement. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Being a full-time martial artist is dangerous,¡±


    Li Changzhou replied with an open smile, ¡°But since ancient times, which hero didn¡¯t dream of galloping across the battlefields and pursuing the limits of the Martial Path?¡±


    ¡°To stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine with the body of a human! To explore the limits of life.¡±


    ¡°My time for that has passed.¡±


    ¡°But you still have the chance,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan, his helmet covered in much mud, making him look rather unkempt.


    Li Yuan listened with bated breath.


    ¡°If you want to walk the path of a full-time martial artist, this money, the money from this contract, is far from enough,¡± Li Changzhou continued, ¡°but this contract will bind your future.¡±


    After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Uncle, according to the information I¡¯ve found, if I perform well enough, Starry Sky Martial Hall will upgrade the contract.¡±


    ¡°But what if Starry Sky Martial Hall doesn¡¯t upgrade it?¡± Li Changzhou countered, ¡°Why should you leave your destiny in someone else¡¯s hands?¡±


    Li Yuan realized the truth.


    ¡°Uncle Zhong is a good man, but many things are not his to decide as an ordinary member,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°Moreover, as far as I know, once you sign a contract with the Martial Hall in advance, your development will be restricted when you get to Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°Restricted?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback, this was something he didn¡¯t know.


    ¡°For example, the five prestigious schools of Xia Country, they are funded by the state,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°If you sign with the Martial Hall in advance, you¡¯re destined to join the Martial Hall after university graduation¡­ Do you think when some special resources arrive at the school, and they have to choose between you and another student specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall, whom will they choose?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered.


    Signing with the Martial Hall in advance was indeed a kind of bondage in a sense.


    ¡°This contract.¡±


    ¡°You go to the Martial Hall on Sunday, first learn more from Uncle Zhong, and if you can be promoted to a C-level standard and have passive upgrade clauses, such as reaching a certain standard before a certain age will directly automatically upgrade you to B level or even A level, then signing is no harm,¡± Li Changzhou patiently explained.


    ¡°If you want to be a full-time martial artist, the Martial Hall is indeed a better choice, but if the restrictions are too great, there¡¯s no need to sign.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, I know what you¡¯re thinking, you want to help your family,¡± Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan, ¡°But remember, your uncle is not dead yet.¡±


    ¡°The time for you to fully support this family has not come yet.¡±


    ¡°At least, before you go to university, have no worries, what you need to do is to devote yourself to training wholeheartedly, understand?¡± Li Changzhou said solemnly.


    ¡°Yes, Uncle,¡± Li Yuan nodded firmly.


    ¡°I believe in you, I can¡¯t be wrong,¡± Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Now that Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall are not signing, it¡¯s their lack of foresight.¡±


    ¡°When the college entrance exam results come out, or even when you enter university, naturally you will receive better contracts.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s never too late to sign then.¡±


    ¡­


    Uncle Li Changzhou¡¯s words calmed Li Yuan down completely, and he could think about the matter more calmly.


    ¡°Uncle is right.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the rush? In the end, they will be the ones in a hurry,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    He continued with his training.


    In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday, two days later. Li Yuan kept to his routine, going to school and then back home.


    Saturday afternoon.


    All the senior year students had Martial Path classes together in the martial arts classroom today.


    At the school gate.


    Several black cars arrived slowly, and six figures descended from the vehicles one after another.


    Five of them were dressed in black suits, while one of the middle-aged men wore a black Tang suit, seemingly ordinary, yet exuding an indescribable presence.


    ¡°Lord Wan.¡±


    ¡°Lord Wan, welcome to our school,¡± Principal Tan Zhenlong and several vice principals all came forward with smiles to greet him.


    ¡°Tie Ta,¡± the middle-aged man looked directly at Xu Bo standing in the distance and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since we parted in the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Old Wan,¡± Xu Bo then stepped forward with a wide grin, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the new Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s Guanshan branch would be you.¡±


    ¡°Welcome!¡±

 Chapter 31 - 29: The Shocked Xu Bo

    Chapter 31: Chapter 29: The Shocked Xu Bo


    ¡°`


    Seeing the middle-aged man in Tang attire dismiss him and speak directly to Xu Bo, the expressions of several vice-principals changed slightly.


    They couldn¡¯t help but turn to look at Xu Bo.


    Previously, although the vice-principals had heard many rumors, they had never witnessed Xu Bo¡¯s abilities firsthand, so they still harbored some doubts about him.


    Now? There were no more doubts.


    Only Principal Tan Zhenlong remained composed, as he was the one most aware of Xu Bo¡¯s background, which was why he had specifically called Xu Bo to meet at the school entrance.


    ...


    And the outcome had been exactly as he expected.


    ¡°Tie Ta, your hand, I¡¯ve heard¡­¡± The middle-aged man in Tang attire glanced at Xu Bo¡¯s silver mechanical right arm.


    ¡°Old Wan, that¡¯s all in the past.¡±


    Xu Bo waved his hand with a smile, ¡°Today you¡¯re here for the first inspection of your tenure at our school, let¡¯s talk business first.¡±


    ¡°This is Principal Tan.¡±


    Xu Bo took the initiative to introduce him.


    ¡°Principal Tan.¡± Lord Wan smiled slightly.


    ¡°Lord Wan, hello, I have long heard of Lord Wan¡¯s prestige in the Star Realm.¡± Principal Tan slightly bowed and extended his hand.


    Principal Tan lowered his posture.


    As the Hall Master of Starfire Martial Hall in the Guan Mountain District, Lord Wan held an extremely high status.


    This status stemmed not just from the power of the Martial Hall, but also from Lord Wan¡¯s own strength.


    ¡°Principal Tan, let¡¯s enter the school,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve just come back from the Star Realm, and am not familiar with many things, so let¡¯s do everything according to standard procedure, starting with a look at the students from the three elite classes.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    ¡°This way, please, Lord Wan, the students from the three elite classes are all waiting in the martial arts classroom,¡± Principal Tan said with a smile.


    A crowd surrounded them as they entered the school.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, a group of people emerged from the elite building, surrounded by Lord Wan, Principal Tan, and Xu Bo.


    ¡°Principal Tan and all the teachers, excellent teaching,¡±


    Lord Wan said with a smile, ¡°The students from the elite classes are all outstanding, especially the seniors in the third year. I see many of them have the hope of being admitted to the top five prestigious schools.¡±


    ¡°I believe that in a few years, our Guan Mountain District will see a surge of entry-rank martial artists,¡± Lord Wan praised.


    ¡°Lord Wan flatters us,¡± Principal Tan said with a laugh. ¡°But I wonder, have you taken a liking to any of the students?¡±


    The vice-principals and teachers all looked towards Lord Wan with anticipation.


    Why do Martial Halls conduct inspections?


    Essentially, they invite the decision-makers of the Martial Halls to see if any students qualify for early recruitment.


    For the school, being specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall would be the best outcome, but such opportunities are scarce.


    If the students could sign early contracts with the Martial Hall and receive its training, their chances of being admitted to the top five prestigious schools would greatly increase, which would also be a significant accomplishment for the school¡¯s leaders.


    In fact, why are there only the Starry Sky and Starfire Martial Halls within Xia Country, and why do these two halls hold so much power?


    In a sense, even though these two Martial Halls seem independent, they both possess some official character.


    ¡°These students are all excellent, but some decisions aren¡¯t mine to make alone,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile. ¡°When I get back, I¡¯ll have the Martial Hall conduct a comprehensive assessment of these students. I believe there will be favorable results.¡±


    A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the school leaders.


    Clearly, Lord Wan had not taken a particular liking to any student, at least not at first sight.


    ¡°Lord Wan, would you like to take another look at the students from the regular classes?¡± Principal Tan¡¯s smile remained unchanged. ¡°Among the regular class students, there are some who are exceptional too.¡±


    Lord Wan smiled without answering.


    ¡°Principal Tan, the Hall Master has limited time today, and it¡¯s getting late,¡± a man in black clothes whispered. ¡°What do you say?¡±


    ¡°Oh, alright, sure, we¡¯ll wait for another opportunity,¡± Principal Tan said, nodding repeatedly.


    This was the norm. The regular class had too many students, and their chances of becoming martial artists were low¡­ Whether it was Starfire or Starry Sky Martial Hall inspecting, they rarely visited the regular classes.


    You see, inspecting school students is only a small part of a Martial Hall¡¯s duties.


    And just in the Guan Mountain District, there were dozens of middle and high schools combined, so there wasn¡¯t enough time to visit each one, and most assessments were done by directly reviewing martial path results.


    ¡°Old Wan.¡±


    Xu Bo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, ¡°I¡¯ve selected a few good seeds from the regular class, do you want to stay a bit longer?¡±


    Everyone turned to look at Xu Bo.


    ¡°Xu¡­¡± Principal Tan was just about to speak.


    ¡°Are these the ones Tie Ta takes an interest in?¡± Lord Wan revealed a hint of curiosity, smiling, ¡°Selected from the regular class? If Tie Ta you have noticed them, they must have some potential. Alright, I will take a look.¡±


    Lord Wan was willing, first because he wanted to give face to Xu Bo.


    Secondly, he truly wanted to achieve something noteworthy as the new Hall Master, but none of the students from the three elite classes he saw today had satisfied him.


    ¡°Alright, Teacher Xu, lead the way,¡± Principal Tan said, seizing the moment to reply with a smile.


    ¡°This way,¡± Xu Bo said, walking ahead of everyone else.


    ¡­


    ¡°Today, Teacher Xu asked me to come here and specifically instructed me not to go anywhere else, but why?¡± Li Yuan wondered inwardly as his gaze swept over the other three students.


    Two were second-year seniors, one was a first-year senior, and none of them were acquainted with each other.


    ¡°`


    With Li Yuan included, there were only four people in the martial arts classroom.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s ears twitched as he heard the noisy sounds coming from the end of the hallway.


    It was the voice of Teacher Xu.


    ¡°Hall Master Wan?¡± Li Yuan heard a title in the voices.


    Before he could ponder further.


    Very soon.


    Teacher Xu, Hall Master Wan, Principal Tan, and a group of people walked into the martial arts classroom.


    Faced with this scene.


    The other three students all showed nervousness, while only Li Yuan, who was prepared, remained the most composed.


    ¡°Hall Master Wan, is it the Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall or the Starfire Martial Hall?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s peripheral vision fell involuntarily on the middle-aged man in traditional attire, and a series of text messages appeared in his field of view.


    [Target individual, Life Level exceeding sensory limit (current Life Level sensory limit is 16.9).]


    The man stood at the front, dressed most distinctively, clearly with the highest status.


    Moreover, just one glance at this middle-aged man in traditional attire gave Li Yuan an intense sense of danger, especially those calm eyes that seemed like knife edges, making one involuntarily want to look away.


    ¡°What a powerful martial artist, he might even be stronger than Teacher Xu,¡± Li Yuan thought in shock.


    Every use of his Divine Palace panel required mental energy, after many uses he would feel fatigued, as if having gone through numerous virtual battles, so Li Yuan seldom used it in daily life.


    ¡°A Martial Hall¡¯s Hall Master? Accompanied by the principal and Teacher Xu? What are they here for?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts raced through his mind.


    At the same time.


    Li Yuan and the other three students were already calling out, ¡°Principal, Teacher Xu.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Xu.¡±


    Several vice-principals? Li Yuan and the others only recognized them by face, knowing they were school leaders, but had no idea what their surnames were, so naturally, they did not address them by name.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Listen, all of you. Today is a very important opportunity for you. Later on, show us all your Physical Quality and Martial Arts Skills,¡± Teacher Xu said solemnly, ¡°Xiong Yifan, you come first for the triple test.¡±


    The triple test referred to the Life Vitality Detection, Fist Strength test, and Burst Speed test.


    Immediately.


    The high first-year student stepped into the range of the Life Vitality Detector¡­


    Lord Wan didn¡¯t pay much attention to this high first-year student. He seemed to have noticed something, his gaze involuntarily falling on Li Yuan as he quietly asked, ¡°Tie Ta, what¡¯s this student¡¯s name?¡±


    Teacher Xu took notice of Lord Wan¡¯s gaze and said, ¡°His name is Li Yuan, Old Wan, do you find him impressive?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Hall Master Wan¡¯s eyes flickered as if remembering something, and he said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s take a look first, no rush.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Teacher Xu nodded.


    Soon after.


    The three students from the first and second year of high school had completed their tests, and their Physical Quality data, when compared within their respective Elite Classes, ranked in the upper middle range.


    Only, that was it, not enough to change Lord Wan¡¯s mind.


    Finally, everyone¡¯s gaze settled on Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is he Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of him.¡±


    ¡°Seems to have quite the Martial Arts Skills.¡±


    ¡°However, having not awakened his Martial Spirit upon entering his third year, the chances for early signing don¡¯t look very good,¡± a few school leaders whispered among themselves. They didn¡¯t know that Li Yuan had entered the Blue Star youth ranking, but they had all heard of Li Yuan¡¯s name.


    After defeating Lin Lanyue in virtual combat, Li Yuan had become somewhat of a minor celebrity at the school.


    ¡°Li Yuan, go,¡± said Teacher Xu in a deep voice. ¡°Be serious, and bring out all your strength.¡±


    Out of the four students selected from the regular class, Teacher Xu valued Li Yuan the most.


    Or perhaps, in his eyes, Li Yuan was the one with the most promising chance of signing early with a Martial Hall. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded and directly stepped onto the silver circular floor in the center of the martial arts classroom. This circular area served both as the skill-testing ground and the Life Vitality Detector¡¯s sensing range.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of red light shot over, enveloping Li Yuan¡¯s entire body.


    Three seconds later.


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, data appeared ¨C ¡°Li Yuan (Student), Physical Quality: 6.9 (last measured at 6.5).¡±


    ¡°Historical data: September 5th: 6.5.¡±


    ¡°Historical data: June 25th, 6.0.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°6.9? It improved by 0.4 since a little over a month ago?¡± Teacher Xu¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of surprise as he looked at Li Yuan, quite astonished.


    ¡°Interesting,¡± Lord Wan showed a smile.

 Chapter 32 - 30 B-Level Contract

    Chapter 32: Chapter 30 B-Level Contract


    ¡°6.9 grade? Just over three months ago, he was at 6.0 grade? A little over a month ago, 6.5 grade? His physical quality has improved this fast?¡± Principal Tan Zhenlong was also extremely surprised.


    Because of Xu Bo¡¯s multiple recommendations, and the fact that Li Yuan¡¯s special admission information had been summarized a few weeks ago.


    Therefore, Tan Zhenlong had a deep impression of Li Yuan.


    It¡¯s just that, in his estimation, Li Yuan¡¯s physical fitness would probably have reached 6.6 grade.


    After all, under normal circumstances, the further you get in your cultivation, the slower the improvement in physical quality.


    ¡°In just over two months, from 6.0 grade to 6.5?¡±


    ...


    ¡°And in a little over a month, another 0.4 grade improvement?¡± Several vice-principals and Martial Hall martial artists were all very shocked.


    A sole 6.9 grade in physical quality? Not enough to surprise anyone.


    Among the many people present, except for Li Yuan and a few other students, almost everyone else was a martial artist.


    The several school leaders present had the lowest physical quality at 9.8 grade.


    In this era, martial artists have a much greater chance of holding positions of authority than non-martial artists.


    Even compared to students, in the senior year elite class, there are several students with a physical quality over 7.0 grade.


    Lin Lanyue, with the strongest physical quality, had already reached 8.5 grade.


    But what was shocking about Li Yuan was the speed of his progress.


    After all, everyone present knew that Li Yuan hadn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit.


    He could improve so fast just by practicing the Basic Cultivation Method?


    ¡°Good.¡± Xu Bo¡¯s eyes lit up slightly.


    He often observed Li Yuan through monitoring and knew that Li Yuan had made significant improvements in his physical quality.


    But he didn¡¯t expect it to be so remarkable.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Xu Bo¡¯s voice boomed like a bell, ¡°continue with the other two tests, focus.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t foolish; he could tell from everyone¡¯s reaction that he performed very well.


    Moreover, Li Yuan was also aware.


    No matter where this mysterious Hall Master came from, this was an opportunity for him.


    ¡°Today, I should have heard before that the Martial Hall comes to inspect the school once a year,¡± the thought flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°but in the past, they seemed to only inspect the elite class.¡±


    ¡°This opportunity was fought for by Teacher Xu.¡±


    ¡°Many times, good opportunities often only come once or twice.¡±


    Without much thought.


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the Fist Strength testing area, got into position, adjusted his posture, and then suddenly unleashed a punch with all his might.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Accompanied by a dull explosion, his fist fiercely struck the huge sensor sandbag.


    In an instant. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The screen above the Fist Strength testing area clearly displayed: ¡°454 kilograms (Action Qualified)¡±.


    After testing his Fist Strength.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t stay still; after a brief adjustment, he proceeded to the track¡¯s starting point.


    The forty-meter-long test track!


    The white light from above the classroom shone down, reflecting on the dark red metallic track.


    ¡°Hu!¡±


    After a brief adjustment and taking a deep breath, Li Yuan tensed his legs and his entire body suddenly sprinted forward.


    Whoosh!


    Like a passing shadow, Li Yuan had already dashed across the track, slamming into the buffer wall at the end of the track.


    Tick Tock!


    The electronic display at the end of the track now showed the data¡ª¡±15.1 meters/second¡±.


    ¡°What fast speed.¡±


    ¡°Could the Life Vitality Detector have made a mistake?¡±


    ¡°How could Li Yuan¡¯s empirical data be so high?¡± a series of low-voiced discussions were exchanged among the school leaders and the five Martial Hall martial artists, all a bit surprised.


    Why were they surprised?


    Because Li Yuan¡¯s Fist Strength data and Burst Speed data had both exceeded the 7.0 grade physical quality standard set by the Seven Star Alliance.


    7.0 grade standard: 15 meters per second, Fist Strength 450 kilograms.


    Normally, it¡¯s quite common for actual data to be slightly higher or lower in one aspect.


    Like Li Yuan? Both aspects are higher?


    Unusual.


    ¡°Good.¡± Xu Bo and Tan Zhenlong exchanged glances, smiles appearing on both of their faces.


    ¡°Teacher Xu, I¡¯ve finished the tests,¡± Li Yuan walked back to the center of the classroom from the far end of the room.


    ¡°Old Wan,¡± Xu Bo looked toward Lord Wan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    Lord Wan¡¯s face carried an unfathomable smile as he turned to several people behind him, ¡°Instructor Xing, what do you think? Does he qualify?¡±


    The five Martial Hall martial artists looked at each other.


    ¡°Lord,¡± Instructor Xing spoke in a deep voice, ¡°this young fellow¡¯s physical talent is not bad¡­ it shouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to become a martial artist, but he hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit, so signing him early¡­ might still need to be considered.¡±


    Instructor Xing saw the close relationship between the Lord and Xu Bo, so he didn¡¯t make a definitive statement.


    However, everyone present was shrewd enough to understand Instructor Xing¡¯s real meaning¡ªnot qualified.


    ¡°No rush, take another look,¡± said Lord Wan with a smile before turning to Xu Bo, ¡°Tie Ta, your student¡¯s strongest aspect should be his Martial Arts Skills, right¡­ Let¡¯s test that and see.¡±


    ¡°You noticed?¡± Xu Bo said with a smile.


    ¡°Life Vitality Detector usually doesn¡¯t make mistakes,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile, ¡°but he has managed to exhibit extraordinary strength and Burst Speed¡­ this suggests he has a very high level of control over his body, and his Vigor deployment is probably close to Perfection.¡±


    ¡°From his walking posture, his Basic Fist Technique should also be nearly perfected.¡±


    ¡°I estimate that his Martial Arts Skills are the strongest among the students at your school,¡± Lord Wan said casually, ¡°and most likely, it¡¯s a case of leading substantially.¡±


    Xu Bo and Principal Tan exchanged glances and couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°As expected of Old Wan, your judgment is still sharp,¡± Xu Bo said with a laughter.


    Xu Bo knew that Lord Wan had been in his position for less than a week.


    Without looking at previous data, it was likely he didn¡¯t know about Li Yuan¡¯s selection for the Blue Star youth list.


    ¡°Li Yuan, take out your Long Spear,¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and commanded, ¡°Let¡¯s proceed with the skill test.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Li Yuan walked towards the nearby weapon cabinet; he had already prepared the weapon in this classroom at noon as instructed by Xu Bo.


    Meanwhile.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look again at the middle-aged man in the Tang suit, ¡°Such impressive eyesight.¡±


    Li Yuan had also heard Lord Wan¡¯s speculation.


    ¡­


    Once ready with his Long Spear, the Martial Arts Skills test commenced, with many devices above the classroom activating.


    Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, stood facing Xu Bo ready for the test.


    ¡°Come, attack me. Show me all that your spear technique has to offer,¡± Xu Bo said in a deep voice, holding a long stick in his hand.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, knowing that his teacher wanted him to reveal his full strength.


    Without hesitation.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s body was like lightning, already showing improvement, stabbing out with his spear fiercely and relentlessly.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    The long stick met the attack, striking the tip of the spear.


    If this were a little over a month ago, Li Yuan probably would have had trouble withstanding even this single collision.


    But now, his spear technique had taken another step forward.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± The shaft of the spear followed the motion downward, the rear hand pulling back, followed by a strong push forward, causing the tip of the spear to tremble and draw a large circle, seemingly creating dozens of shadow spears in an instant.


    ¡°Teacher Xu¡¯s physical quality seems to be around level 7, attack,¡± Li Yuan charged forth ferociously.


    There¡¯s a saying, ¡®the spear fears the shaking head.¡¯


    It refers to the bewildering changes when the spear shaft wavers, making the spearhead¡¯s movements unpredictable and marking the most terrifying moment of a spear attack.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    One thrust followed another, a relentless barrage, lightning-fast jabs targeting Xu Bo, each thrust powerful and accurate.


    This was indeed Li Yuan¡¯s newly developed killer move¡ªMountain Ranges and Myriad Forms.


    It was a deceptive attack suitable for a spear technique, also apt for group combat.


    ¡°Haha, not bad,¡± Xu Bo laughed, wielding his stick in his left hand, poking out with each strike precisely timed to hit the spearhead of Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    This prevented Li Yuan from fully unleashing his power.


    In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves.


    ¡°Li Yuan, be careful,¡± Xu Bo suddenly roared, changing his footwork as the long stick thrust forth like a spear with lightning speed.


    The timing was too good.


    This stick thrust came precisely when Li Yuan¡¯s spear had failed to hit and he was withdrawing his power.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique immediately adapted, switching from offense to defense, displaying a proficiency in his moves that surprised the martial artists watching from outside the arena.


    Without hesitation.


    Li Yuan directly employed the ¡®Solid Rock Pillar,¡¯ standing firm like a massive boulder, fiercely blocking Xu Bo¡¯s assault.


    Dozens more attacks and defenses followed.


    Whew!


    Xu Bo suddenly backed off, creating distance from Li Yuan and said with a smile, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough.¡±


    Only then did Li Yuan stop, his vitality boiling within him.


    It had been too fierce.


    Teacher Xu¡¯s attacks, seemingly slow, were actually stable, accurate, and ruthless, leaving him with no power to fight back.


    ¡°But at least, I¡¯ve defended for so long, much better than last time,¡± Li Yuan took a deep breath.


    At this moment, Xu Bo had already fiddled with his smart ring and said in a deep voice, ¡°Skill assessment over.¡±


    Beep¡ª


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, a score appeared¡ª¡±374 points (College Entrance Exam Standard).¡±


    ¡°374 points?¡±


    ¡°That high!¡±


    ¡°College Entrance Exam Standard, over 370 points?¡±


    ¡°I remember Lin Lanyue scored only 361 points, right?¡±


    ¡°Last year, the top scorer in the Martial Arts Skills section for Jiang City¡¯s college entrance exam scored just over 380 points,¡± a few vice-principals were thoroughly shocked.


    Lin Lanyue scored 361 points.


    Li Yuan scored 374 points.


    The difference seemed to be just over ten points, but unlike academic subjects, martial arts scores are more definitive; strong is strong, weak is weak, rarely influenced by fluctuations in performance.


    Once over 360 points,


    Nevermind 10 points, even a 5-point gap represented a clear distinction in Martial Arts Skills.


    A 10-point difference meant that if the two were to engage in virtual combat, the outcome would nearly be a given.


    ¡°Our school, could it produce a city¡¯s top scorer in a single subject? There¡¯s still so much time until the college entrance exam.¡±


    ¡°Our district¡¯s educational quality has always been mediocre at best within the city,¡± the vice-principals exchanged glances, all harboring the same thought.


    Especially the vice-principal in charge of ¡®teaching,¡¯ who had the brightest smile on his face.


    ¡°Alright, Li Yuan, put the weapon back,¡± Xu Bo said.


    Li Yuan obediently returned the long spear to its place.


    ¡°Lord Wan, what do you think?¡± Xu Bo placed the long stick aside and walked over.


    ¡°Instructor Xing? What do you all think?¡± Lord Wan smiled, still not giving a direct answer.


    The martial artists from the Martial Hall looked at one another.


    ¡°If he can awaken his Martial Spirit, he¡¯ll qualify for a Grade C contract; but without awakening the Martial Spirit, it falls short, though still enough for a Grade D contract,¡± Instructor Xing hesitated before saying.


    In reality, in Instructor Xing¡¯s opinion, Li Yuan was slightly lacking even for a Grade D contract.


    High in Martial Arts Skills?


    Without the awakened Martial Spirit, that¡¯s a significant flaw.


    ¡°A Grade D contract?¡±


    Lord Wan nodded slightly and turned to say, ¡°Tie Ta, Principal Tan, could I have a word alone with Li Yuan, if you don¡¯t mind?¡±


    A private talk?


    Principal Tan and Xu Bo exchanged a glance, both seemingly contemplative.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Principal Tan didn¡¯t refuse, smiling, ¡°If Lord Wan wishes to speak with Li Yuan alone, that¡¯s his good fortune.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll head out first,¡± Principal Tan beckoned the other school leaders to leave the classroom.


    ¡°A private talk?¡± Only Li Yuan, who had just walked over, was still confused.


    What¡¯s going on?


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is Lord Wan from the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s Guanshan branch. Have a good talk,¡± Xu Bo whispered to him.


    Starfire Martial Hall Guanshan branch¡¯s Hall Master? Li Yuan was inwardly startled but remained composed on the outside.


    In his view, this was an important figure.


    Soon,


    The school leaders, martial artists from the Martial Hall, and the three students all left the classroom, leaving only Li Yuan and Lord Wan.


    The classroom door closed.


    ¡°Li Yuan, my name is Wan Qinghe,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile.


    ¡°Lord Wan,¡± Li Yuan was inwardly nervous, unsure of the other party¡¯s intentions.


    ¡°I would like to invite you to join the Starfire Martial Hall and sign a contract in advance,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile as he looked at Li Yuan, ¡°A Grade B contract, an upgraded passive model.¡±


    ¡°The moment you awaken your Martial Spirit, it will immediately upgrade to a Grade A contract.¡±


    ¡°What do you think?¡±

 Chapter 33 - 31: Its Just Too Much

    Chapter 33: Chapter 31: It¡¯s Just Too Much


    ¡°A B-level contract?¡±


    ¡°Once I awaken my Martial Spirit, I¡¯ll be directly promoted to an A-level contract?¡± Li Yuan felt somewhat dizzy.


    It was like being suddenly knocked out by happiness.


    After all, even after making it onto the Blue Star youth leaderboard, there had been no word from the Starfire Martial Hall or the Martial Arts Hall, with the only interest coming from the Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    And even then, after half a month of hesitation, the best they were willing to offer was a D-level contract.


    The difference between a D-level contract and a B-level contract was not a tiny bit.


    ...


    Whew!


    Li Yuan took a deep breath and did not let his head be swayed by the excitement; he instantly recalled the teachings of his uncle, Li Changzhou, from when he was young: ¡°Even in overwhelming joy or anger and pain, before making a significant decision, you must calm down and ask yourself three questions.¡±


    What is it!


    Why is it!


    How to do it!


    Four words in summary¡ªsteady! Don¡¯t be rash!


    In just a few seconds, Li Yuan had calmed down again and identified the core question, ¡°Why?¡±


    Why would Lord Wan offer me a B-level contract? It was a contract worth tens of millions, with nearly ten million in Blue Star Coins provided in cash alone.


    I am not Lu Bu; I do not have that many adoptive fathers to love me.


    ¡°Lord Wan.¡±


    Li Yuan said calmly, ¡°A B-level contract is very good, better than I expected¡­ but why would you offer me such a contract, Lord Wan? I haven¡¯t even awakened my Martial Spirit.¡±


    There must be something abnormal when things deviate from the norm.


    Because of my good physical quality? There are not too few elite class students who are better than me.


    Martial arts skills? I¡¯m not bad, but not to the extent of being unparalleled in the world.


    ¡°The boy is steady, not blinded by benefits,¡± Lord Wan smiled at Li Yuan, raising his opinion of him another notch.


    Lord Wan smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to hide it from you. I am willing to offer a B-level contract because you have strong spiritual power, which can probably compete with that of a First Rank Martial Artist.¡±


    Spiritual power? Li Yuan was inwardly startled.


    The other party can sense the strength of the spiritual power?


    Yes, I have been practicing the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯ every day, continuously enhancing my spiritual power, which has reached level 13.2, not too weak even among Martial Artists.


    Usually, the spirit is enhanced in tandem with the body.


    ¡°Of course, I can only feel it vaguely, and my judgment is not precise,¡± Lord Wan continued. ¡°Technological instruments can¡¯t directly test spiritual power. To detect it, you generally need a Third Rank Martial Artist to do it personally¡­ I am just a Second Rank Prime Warrior, with a special method of cultivation. Plus, your weak strength means you can¡¯t fully conceal your spirit, which is why I could sense a bit.¡±


    ¡°If you were a Martial Artist, with your spiritual power contained in the sea of consciousness, I would have difficulty sensing it.¡± Lord Wan spoke very frankly, displaying none of the airs of a superior.


    He treated Li Yuan as if they were chatting casually, which felt very comfortable.


    Lord Wan¡¯s words cleared many doubts in Li Yuan¡¯s mind but also raised new ones.


    ¡°Strong spiritual power is enough for a B-level contract?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Li Yuan knew the importance of spiritual power but wasn¡¯t clear on just how important it was.


    There was no detailed information available online.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s important depends on the person,¡± Lord Wan smiled and said. ¡°If you want to become a Second Rank Prime Warrior, then spiritual power is essential. But if you¡¯re just a First Rank Martial Artist¡­ whether your spiritual power is a bit stronger or weaker isn¡¯t a big deal.¡±


    ¡°After all, no matter how strong your spiritual power is, if someone chops off your head with a sword, you¡¯re still going to die.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, thinking to himself, ¡°Prime Warrior? So Lord Wan is a Prime Warrior? Indeed stronger than Teacher Xu.¡±


    A First Rank Martial Artist?


    A Second Rank Prime Warrior?


    The classification of ranks among Martial Artists was not entirely secret in society, and students like Li Yuan, about to graduate from high school, also took a keen interest in it and mostly understood it.


    Martial Artists are classified by their physical quality.


    Levels 1-9.9 are considered ordinary people.


    Levels 10.0-19.9 are known as Entry Rank Martial Artists or First Rank Martial Artists.


    Levels 20.0-29.9 are called Second Rank Martial Artists.


    Prime Warrior is a term of respect for those above Second Rank Martial Artists.


    First Rank Martial Artists, with physical qualities between levels 10-19, often need to use hot weapons to contend with Star Realm Creatures.


    Prime Warriors, with at least level 20 physical quality and the ability to wield the miraculous Origin Power, are incredibly strong; ordinary hot weapons are nearly useless against them.


    They use cold weapons combined with Origin Power to fight powerful Star Realm Creatures¡­ but Prime Warriors are exceedingly rare.


    At least, in the past decade or so, Li Yuan had never encountered a Prime Warrior in real life, only through various videos and images.


    Lord Wan was the first.


    ¡°The rapid recent improvement in your martial arts skills and physical quality must be directly related to your spiritual power,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile. ¡°Spiritual power is challenging to measure directly, and those with exceptional spiritual talent are extremely rare¡­ For instance, among the twenty million people in Jiang City, not even one emerges in a year.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, assessments like the college entrance exams or even special admissions at other times do not include spiritual power in their testing scope.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, generally speaking, even if we don¡¯t go testing for it, those with exceptional spiritual talents will gradually reveal themselves in university, where they can then receive specialized training without delay.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood after a little thought.


    Testing for spiritual power? You¡¯d generally need a Third Rank Martial Artist, but even Second Rank Prime Warriors are extremely rare.


    The strength of a Third Rank Martial Artist¡­is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. How could such figures have the time to do such things?


    Input and reward are not proportional.


    ¡°And you, Li Yuan,¡± Lord Wan smiled, ¡°are one of those with spiritual power talent one in a million.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Spiritual power talent? He feared he was not.


    ¡°However, I can cultivate the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯. My limit, compared to those with natural talents, will only be stronger.¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    From Lord Wan¡¯s attitude,


    Li Yuan had realized just how precious the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯ was¡ªcould it directly enhance spiritual power? It definitely belonged to that category of inconceivable methods.


    Just that, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t intended to expose it yet.


    Because, from his own experience, having the method seemed useless.


    ¡°Every time I can cultivate, it is when my consciousness is focused on the Great Sun Jade Platform in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°If I hand over the method? It is very likely to jeopardize my safety first.¡±


    ¡°How do I explain the origin of the method? Say that I awakened it?¡±


    Who would believe that?


    Would he be taken by powerful figures for experiments? Entirely possible.


    Only two seconds.


    Li Yuan had already made up his mind, before he understood the real secret of the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯,


    before he had sufficient strength to protect himself, he mustn¡¯t reveal the secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°In the future, when I cultivate the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯, I¡¯ll have to be careful not to be detected by anyone.¡± Li Yuan resolved privately.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°How do you feel?¡± Lord Wan smiled, ¡°A Grade B contract is the highest authority I can offer, a cash payment of 9 million Blue Star Coins, resources and treasures worth a total of 9 million Blue Star Coins, plus a total value of ¡¯18 million Blue Star Coins¡¯ in mentorship, Spear Technique Manual, and Origin Power Manual.¡±


    ¡°Granted in six increments over six years.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re still not satisfied, I am willing to personally sponsor you a one-time cash bonus of one million.¡± Lord Wan smiled at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan held his breath, suspecting he had heard wrong.


    He had thought a Grade B contract would be good, but never imagined it would be this good.


    The value of 18 million Blue Star Coins in mentorship guidance and manuals not to mention, those things aren¡¯t tangible and their value is quite abstract. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But just cash + treasures alone already amount to a total value of 18 million Blue Star Coins.


    It¡¯s three times that of a Grade D contract!


    Even if it¡¯s spread over six years, it¡¯s still incredibly extravagant for Li Yuan, a high school senior.


    Moreover, is Lord Wan willing to provide a personal sponsorship of one million Blue Star Coins? In cash?


    Even more unbelievable to Li Yuan.


    Right.


    With a Grade B contract worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins, that¡¯s what the Martial Hall offers, not Lord Wan spending his own money.


    But personal sponsorship means Lord Wan is really forking out his own cash.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, finding it hard to calm down for a long time.


    It wasn¡¯t that Li Yuan wasn¡¯t steady; rather¡­ the offer was simply too generous.


    Lord Wan wasn¡¯t in a hurry either, watching Li Yuan with a smile.


    ¡°Lord Wan.¡±


    Li Yuan finally spoke, ¡°The conditions you offer are indeed so favorable I can¡¯t refuse¡­ It¡¯s just that I still need to discuss it at home.¡±


    ¡°No problem, you¡¯re not of age yet, and to sign the contract early on, your guardian¡¯s signature would be needed anyway,¡± Lord Wan nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Additionally,¡± Li Yuan hesitated, then said: ¡°The Starry Sky Martial Hall approached me two days ago with an early contract signing as well, but it¡¯s just a Grade D contract, I haven¡¯t agreed.¡±


    ¡°I was planning to go talk to them this weekend.¡± Li Yuan chose to tell the truth without exaggeration.


    ¡°The Starry Sky Martial Hall?¡±


    ¡°Approached you for an early contract signing? How did they?¡± Now it was Lord Wan¡¯s turn to be stunned.


    Only a second.


    Lord Wan seemed to realize something.


    ¡°Li Yuan, wait a moment.¡± Lord Wan raised his hand to activate his smart ring, quickly searching for something.


    Soon, Lord Wan stopped scrolling through the light screen.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Lord Wan suddenly smiled: ¡°Li Yuan, you have already entered the Blue Star Youth Ranking, I just took office, I didn¡¯t know about this document before.¡±


    ¡°The Blue Star Youth Ranking, originating from the Starry Skies Fighting Network¡­ The Starry Sky Martial Hall really played a good game.¡±


    ¡°They must have discovered it.¡±


    ¡°But with your qualifications, even if you sign early, they should at least offer you a Grade C contract.¡±


    ¡°A Grade D contract? That¡¯s simply an insult to a Martial Path genius like you.¡± Lord Wan shook his head slightly.


    ¡°An insult to me?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.

 Chapter 34 - 32 The Greatest Sincerity

    Chapter 34: Chapter 32 The Greatest Sincerity


    Insult?


    Li Yuan hadn¡¯t expected Lord Wan to use such a word to describe the Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    Actually, from their initial encounter until now, Li Yuan had a very good impression of Lord Wan¡­ As a Hall Master and a powerful Prime Warrior, he had treated a high school student like himself with nearly equal respect.


    The terms he offered for signing the contract were what Li Yuan considered sky-high.


    How much did his uncle earn over the years of working in the most dangerous regions? Around a million Blue Star Coins annually, at most.


    ¡°Lord Wan¡­ but so far, only the Starry Sky Martial Hall was willing to sign a contract with me in advance,¡± Li Yuan said with a hint of hesitation.


    ...


    Li Yuan still felt grateful towards the Starry Sky Martial Hall and Uncle Zhong.


    ¡°Haha, it seems you really don¡¯t understand the details about the Starry Sky Martial Hall,¡± Lord Wan laughed. ¡°Let me have Teacher Xu explain it to you, he understood as soon as I mentioned it.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lord Wan did indeed want to press down on the Starry Sky Martial Hall to show his high regard for Li Yuan.


    But he knew even better that to recruit a genius like Li Yuan, signing a contract based on benefits was only the first step; it was best to also cultivate a mutual emotional bond.


    To disclose the truth himself? It would make him seem petty.


    Very soon.


    Lord Wan invited both Teacher Xu and Principal Tan over.


    In front of Li Yuan, Lord Wan quickly clarified the situation to them, openly discussing the Level B contract, talking about Li Yuan¡¯s exceptional talent in spiritual power, and also mentioning the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s private discussion with Li Yuan.


    ¡°Exceptional talent in spiritual power? A Level B contract?¡± Principal Tan was extremely surprised, looking at Li Yuan in utter shock.


    He, too, was a First Rank 16-level Martial Artist and understood the importance of spiritual power for becoming a Prime Warrior.


    Exceptional talent in spiritual power? Principal Tan had heard of it before but had never seen it.


    It was too rare.


    ¡°Lord Wan, you¡¯re offering a Level B contract? The Starry Sky Martial Hall privately contacted Li Yuan for only a Level D contract?¡± Upon hearing this, Teacher Xu¡¯s expression changed, revealing a trace of anger, ¡°It¡¯s probably that Song Yi fellow!¡±


    ¡°Song Yi? The Vice Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall?¡± Lord Wan pondered. He had just assumed his position and had only met the Chief Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s Guan Mountain District branch.


    The Vice Hall Masters? Lord Wan knew their information, but he hadn¡¯t actually met them yet.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Teacher Xu nodded. He had been mixed up in the Guan Mountain District for several years and was familiar with the leaders of the area.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    Teacher Xu looked towards Li Yuan, who still seemed a bit confused, and spoke softly, ¡°Did you enter the Blue Star Youth Rankings so quickly because you had consecutive duels on the Starry Skies Fighting Network exceeding a hundred matches?¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yuan began to understand a bit.


    ¡°You made it into the Blue Star Youth Rankings, and the Martial Arts Hall, Starfire Martial Hall, they only know of this news, but they don¡¯t know your detailed data on the Combat Network,¡± Teacher Xu explained directly. ¡°But the Starry Sky Martial Hall would know, because they directly control the Starry Skies Fighting Network.¡±


    The Starry Sky Martial Hall?


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network?


    Li Yuan understood instantly and suddenly realized why only the Starry Sky Martial Hall was willing to sign a contract with him.


    So, there was an information gap?


    ¡°Li Yuan, to think I am the headteacher of your Martial Spirit class, I thought you excelled due to your physical talent, never did I expect you had such exceptional spiritual power¡­¡± Teacher Xu shook his head. ¡°If it really is Song Yi, based on what I know about her, it is very likely that when you go to the Starry Sky Martial Hall and are in the process of negotiating, she will appear and directly upgrade your contract to a Level C.¡±


    ¡°In doing so¡­¡±


    ¡°You would naturally feel grateful to her, and it is very likely you would immediately agree to sign,¡± Teacher Xu looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Once you¡¯ve signed, even if you find out the truth later, first, she hasn¡¯t wronged you, and second, as someone who guided you, she would have many excuses, and you wouldn¡¯t really hold it against her.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    He had never imagined that there were so many schemes behind a single contract.


    But Teacher Xu was right.


    If the Starry Sky Martial Hall really intended to do so, and there hadn¡¯t been any complications today, he most likely would have agreed to the contract.


    ¡°This Song Yi, she¡¯s too used to playing tricks, now even on my student,¡± said Teacher Xu, his expression growing colder.


    After his injury, his strength never fully recovered, but his strong connections meant that most of the Second Rank Prime Warriors in the Guan Mountain District respected him a great deal.


    To him, Song Yi¡¯s actions were a slap in the face.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    Lord Wan remained calm, smiling and said, ¡°I invited your principal and Teacher Xu here just to make you understand¡­ the terms I¡¯ve offered for the contract represent my utmost sincerity.¡±


    ¡°I believe that even if your principal reports this to the Martial Arts Hall, the Martial Arts Hall¡¯s special recruitment terms would have difficulty reaching Level B,¡± Lord Wan said openly.


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I will report your situation again, but based on my experience, the Martial Arts Hall will most likely only offer you a Level C contract.¡± Principal Tan nodded and said, ¡°The Martial Arts Hall¡¯s special recruitment is usually much more stringent¡­ The final decision is still in your own hands.¡±


    The special recruitment by the Martial Arts Hall requires much stricter standards?


    Li Yuan was deep in thought.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t worry, I will give you time to think it over, to go back and discuss with your family.¡± Lord Wan smiled and said, ¡°The specific details of the contract will be sent to you by your Teacher Xu tonight.¡±


    ¡°Within a month, whenever you¡¯re willing, contact me.¡±


    ¡°My virtual V number is¡­¡± Lord Wan said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, aren¡¯t you going to write it down?¡± Xu Bo said.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan promptly opened his smart wristband, quickly noted it down, and added Lord Wan as a friend.


    Immediately, Li Yuan also realized that this was not Lord Wan¡¯s work V number, but his private number.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Principal Tan, Tie Ta, I only asked the two of you to come here; you should understand my intention,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile.


    Principal Tan and Xu Bo exchanged glances.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Xu Bo nodded, ¡°Rest assured, I will keep it confidential.¡±


    ¡°Lord Wan, rest assured,¡± Principal Tan said solemnly as well.


    ¡°Good, I have other matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±


    ¡°Oh, and Principal Tan, Tie Ta, that Lin Lanyue, if she¡¯s willing, my Starfire Martial Hall can offer her a Level C contract, but her family¡­ Please relay the message to them,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile.


    ¡°Rest assured, Lord Wan,¡± Principal Tan said with a smile.


    Lord Wan nodded, then he turned to Li Yuan, ¡°Young friend Li Yuan, I hope I can see you training at the Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    Right after that, Lord Wan left the martial arts classroom and headed outside the school.


    After seeing him off to his car.


    Xu Bo took Li Yuan back to his own office.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the terms offered by Lord Wan are quite good,¡± Xu Bo pondered for a moment and said, ¡°If your spiritual power talent is reported, the Martial Arts Hall will definitely recruit you specially, but the conditions won¡¯t be this favorable.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, why not?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Shouldn¡¯t it be roughly the same?


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡± Xu Bo smiled and said, ¡°The Martial Arts Hall¡¯s special recruitment is funded by taxpayers¡¯ money, and the official audit is extremely strict¡­ The folks at the Martial Arts Hall don¡¯t really care if you get the best training; they want political achievements, but they aren¡¯t willing to take responsibility either, so the students they recruit specially are ones they are absolutely sure will succeed.¡±


    Li Yuan understood that without an awakened Martial Spirit, there was too much uncertainty.


    The Martial Arts Hall would not easily take big risks.


    ¡°Actually.¡±


    ¡°Lord Wan¡¯s willingness to give you a Level B contract is most likely related to his recent appointment,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile, ¡°He¡¯s just taken office and certainly wants to achieve something notable.¡±


    ¡°Your contract carries a bit of a gamble.¡±


    ¡°A Level B contract¡­ If you haven¡¯t reached the 16th rank of Martial Artist by the age of 30, he would bear the consequences.¡±


    ¡°Of course, with his strength, he wouldn¡¯t mind that, but if you really choose to sign, you have to live up to the expectations.¡±


    ¡°Signing early is just a way to make your Martial Path progress faster,¡± Xu Bo advised.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    If Teacher Xu hadn¡¯t explained, he wouldn¡¯t have known the complex intricacies behind it all.


    Beep¡ª


    Li Yuan¡¯s smart wristband vibrated, indicating an incoming file awaiting receipt.


    ¡°This is the Level B contract sent from Lord Wan, just forwarded to me, he indeed values you, showing the utmost sincerity. Perhaps as soon as he got in the car, he ordered someone to draft it,¡± Xu Bo remarked, then looked at Li Yuan, ¡°It¡¯s almost dinner time.¡±


    ¡°Eat your dinner, don¡¯t go to evening self-study, go home and discuss with your family, and make a decision as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if you want to wait for the results of the Martial Arts Hall¡¯s special recruitment, or want to talk with the Starry Sky Martial Hall again¡­ that¡¯s fine too,¡± Xu Bo hesitated for a moment without fully persuading.


    After all, he was just Li Yuan¡¯s homeroom teacher, not his personal master.


    Such significant life decisions, he could not make directly for Li Yuan.

 Chapter 36 - 34: The Rights of Martial Hall Members

    Chapter 36: Chapter 34: The Rights of Martial Hall Members


    The next morning at half-past ten.


    In the Guanshan branch of the Starfire Martial Hall, on the sixth floor.


    Inside a meeting room decorated quite simply.


    ¡°Li Yuan, sign your name here, here, and here¡­¡± the instructor Xing, whom he had met yesterday, pointed out each spot on the contract that required a signature.


    Li Yuan, listening, sat down with his aunt Chen Hui and began to sign his name in each designated place.


    Li Yuan and his aunt had already checked this contract thoroughly last night.


    ...


    Everything was clear and there were no issues.


    Once Li Yuan and Chen Hui finished signing, instructor Xing handed the documents to Lord Wan, who was standing by.


    A B-level contract requires the Hall Master¡¯s signature.


    As soon as the signatures were completed, the staff members who had been waiting for a long time immediately took photos and recorded videos.


    They then uploaded the files to the virtual network.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s smart wristband vibrated, he looked down to see a message from the virtual network ¨C the notarized document.


    It was sent by the Martial Arts Hall of Jiangbei Province.


    ¡°Such quick speed,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°Li Yuan, save a copy of the document. You should have also received the electronic contract in the virtual network, it has been notarized by the Martial Arts Hall,¡±


    ¡°It officially carries legal effect now.¡± Lord Wan stood up, smiled, and extended his hand, ¡°Welcome, you are now officially a member of the Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Lord Wan.¡± Li Yuan stood up to shake hands.


    Li Yuan was extremely grateful to Lord Wan in his heart.


    ¡°According to the contract, each year we will provide you with 1.5 million Blue Star Coins, 1.5 million Martial Hall Points, and 3 million Martial Hall Cultivation Points for six years,¡± Lord Wan said, ¡°Today, the cash will be transferred directly to your card, and the points and cultivation points will be under your name once you complete the ¡®Martial Hall Member Authentication¡¯ process.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, my personal sponsorship of 1 million Blue Star Coins and 1 million points will also be in place by today, so don¡¯t worry,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Instructor Xing will handle the specifics for you next,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile. ¡°If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, or instructor Xing can¡¯t solve, contact me and I¡¯ll help you handle it.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded, his gaze subconsciously shifting to instructor Xing.


    The last two sentences from Lord Wan seemed to be directed at instructor Xing.


    But instructor Xing¡¯s face was filled with smiles, betraying no sign of any emotional changes.


    Straight away,


    Lord Wan exchanged a greeting with Chen Hui and then left with a couple of subordinates.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the contract signing is complete.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve just joined Starfire Martial Hall today, so there¡¯s no need to go to school,¡± Xu Bo, who had been silent up until now, spoke in a deep voice. ¡°First get familiar with the environment of the Martial Hall, and come to school tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, as he wouldn¡¯t make it in time for the morning cultural classes anyway.


    The afternoon and evening? They were for self-study of Martial Path, which could be done anywhere.


    ¡°Old Xing, I¡¯ll trouble you with this student of mine,¡± Xu Bo said to instructor Xing.


    ¡°No trouble at all,¡± instructor Xing enthusiastically replied. ¡°It¡¯s my honor to guide Li Yuan.¡±


    Now, the meeting room was left with only Li Yuan, his aunt, and the three members of the Martial Hall including instructor Xing. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Ms. Chen,¡± instructor Xing said with a smile. ¡°Follow me, let¡¯s get your identity authentication done first, then I¡¯ll show you around the entire Martial Hall building.¡±


    ¡°Do I need to do it too?¡± Chen Hui was momentarily stunned.


    ¡°Ms. Chen, normally, when someone joins our Starfire Martial Hall, they can apply for two family cards which also allow the family to enjoy some rights of the Martial Hall,¡± said a black-clad martial artist with a smile. ¡°For example, free lunch and dinner, free weekend Martial Path classes, access to Martial Arts Rooms, complimentary therapies, and so forth.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a silent sense of appreciation.


    He had heard about the numerous benefits for official members of the Martial Hall while in school.


    Now it seemed that just the perks of having a family card were quite valuable.


    ¡°That¡¯s so generous?¡± Chen Hui first rejoiced, then hesitated, ¡°Are there only two cards available?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Li Yuan is an L3 level member of the Martial Hall, which comes with the privilege of two family cards,¡± confirmed the black-clad martial artist with a nod.


    ¡°Let¡¯s forget about it, I won¡¯t apply,¡± Chen Hui said, shaking her head.


    She wanted to keep the two spots for Li Muhua and Li Qianqian.


    ¡°Ms. Chen, don¡¯t worry,¡± instructor Xing said with a chuckle. ¡°I¡¯ll gift you two W3 level membership cards. You just need to bind one to yourself; the benefits are the same as the family card¡¯s, for a period of six years,¡±


    ¡°In six years, Li Yuan might have been promoted to L4 level or even higher, so naturally there will be more family slots available. How does that sound?¡± instructor Xing said with a smile.


    Chen Hui looked toward Li Yuan.


    ¡°Auntie, instructor Xing means well, accept it,¡± Li Yuan spoke, intuitively understanding the situation.


    This was instructor Xing¡¯s way of showing favor to him.


    Not to accept would actually be impolite.


    ¡­After completing the identity and membership card authentication, Li Yuan officially became a provisional member of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Chen Hui looked around for a while and then left first.


    Li Yuan was left alone.


    He accompanied instructor Xing to the seventh floor.


    ¡°The whole building.¡±


    ¡°What we saw from the first to the sixth floor are open to the public, such as various auxiliary cultivation treasures for sale, charged therapy rooms, Martial Arts Rooms, Martial Path classes, weapon classes, and so on,¡± instructor Xing introduced to Li Yuan. ¡°Floors seven to twelve are usually only accessible to internal members of the Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Among the official members, only L1 and L2 levels are equipped with public Martial Arts Rooms for shared use.¡±


    ¡°For L3 level members, apart from Martial Path geniuses like you who signed a B-level contract, it¡¯s middle management and high-level martial artists, and by high-level I mean at least 16th level,¡± instructor Xing said with a smile. ¡°They are provided with individual Martial Arts Rooms.¡±


    Saying this,


    instructor Xing had led Li Yuan to the front of Martial Arts Room number ¡®7024¡¯ and, after identity authentication, opened the door.


    Immediately,


    a rather spacious Martial Arts Room appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s line of sight, its area definitely exceeding 400 square meters.


    ¡°So big.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered slightly.


    This was much better than the independent Martial Arts Room at school.


    The area was more than double in size, with a more complete array of technological equipment, as well as dedicated rooms for therapy and rest.


    Even though it still didn¡¯t quite compare to Instructor Xu Bo¡¯s office, it was very close.


    ¡°The background identity authentication has been completed, starting from today, for the next six years, the right to use this Martial Arts Room will belong to you,¡± Instructor Xing said with a smile, ¡°Of course, there¡¯s a one-month trial period, and if you feel uncomfortable, you can request a change.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s for my use?¡± Li Yuan felt quite pleased in his heart.


    A six-year usage right, that was enough.


    Ordinary wealthy families, like Wan Xiao¡¯s with assets of at least several tens of millions, could not build such a Martial Arts Room.


    Time passed.


    After having lunch and another hour and a bit, through Instructor Xing¡¯s introduction and explanation, Li Yuan gradually understood the entire workings and personnel structure of the Martial Hall¡­ and what he had to do next.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the specific rules within the Martial Hall are all available on the virtual network,¡± Instructor Xing said with a smile, ¡°If there¡¯s anything unclear, you can come directly to me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you for your hard work, Instructor Xing,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I will speak to Lord Wan about this.¡±


    ¡°Haha, thanks a lot,¡± Instructor Xing laughed.


    After seeing the visitor off.


    Li Yuan returned to Martial Arts Room 7024. Though it was a fully enclosed room, the air was exceptionally fresh.


    ¡°My spiritual power matter has been kept confidential; no wonder Instructor Xing doesn¡¯t understand why I could sign a Grade B contract,¡± Li Yuan shook his head secretly, ¡°Maybe he thinks I have some special relationship with Lord Wan, so he is being so cautious.¡±


    Otherwise, as the chief instructor of the entire Guanshan sub hall, with status only below the true and Vice Hall Masters.


    Why be so polite to a high school student like me?


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Ding-dong¡ª¡± The doorbell rang, and the display screen at the door showed the scene outside.


    It was a meal delivery robot, precisely the meal Li Yuan had ordered ten minutes ago.


    After retrieving his meal, Li Yuan went to the table at the end of the Martial Arts Room to eat.


    ¡°I really am hungry.¡±


    Li Yuan feasted, ¡°Two nutrition meals, only for 40 Points? It¡¯s even better than the nutrition meal at school for 50 Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°Instructor Xing was right, inside the Martial Hall, Points are more useful than equivalent Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡­


    After the meal.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t rush to cultivate but used the high-level virtual network pod inside the Martial Arts Room.


    Entering the Virtual World.


    ¡°Enter Starfire Space,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness connected, giving the direct command.


    Hum~ The space transformed.


    ¡°Respected L3 member, welcome to Starfire Space, I am your exclusive AI¡­¡± a pleasant voice rang out.


    ¡°Change the steward¡¯s name to ¡®Little Jade¡¯, with the appearance of an ancient girl,¡± Li Yuan directed immediately.


    ¡°Yes.¡± A girl in purple attire appeared in front of Li Yuan: ¡°Little Jade will serve the master.¡±


    Li Yuan paid her no mind, instead starting to inspect this virtual space that he had just gained access to.


    Starfire Space is the ¡®exclusive space¡¯ of Starfire Martial Hall.


    Only members and clients of Starfire Martial Hall could enter.


    ¡°My Starfire level.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on the adjacent panel:


    Name: Li Yuan (ID 2042100806492)


    Affiliation: Xia Country¡ªJiangbei Province¡ªJiang City


    Level: L3


    Points: 2,499,960


    Cultivation Points: 2,800,000


    ¡­


    ¡°2.5 million Points, of which 1.5 million Points are provided by the Grade B contract, and the other 1 million Points were gifted by Lord Wan,¡± Li Yuan silently thought.


    Through consulting the user manual, combined with Instructor Xing¡¯s previous introduction, Li Yuan quickly understood.


    Points, fundamentally, are the internal currency of Starfire Martial Hall, which can be used to purchase various items and services.


    From all sorts of auxiliary cultivation treasures, such as Basic Vitality Potions, First-Rank Vitality Potions, Spirit Nourishing Potions, Origin Power Essence Pills¡­ to all kinds of precious weapons, Spear Technique Manuals, Origin Power Manuals, and so on.


    This was in terms of Martial Arts Cultivation.


    In daily life aspects, such as financial management, renting or buying villas, purchasing luxury cars, private jets, yachts, legal representation, buying daily necessities, priority hospital beds¡­ everything connected to life, the Martial Hall could help to solve.


    The prerequisite is, you are willing to spend enough Points.


    ¡°Points, in many affairs, indeed are more useful than money,¡± Li Yuan reflected in his heart.


    The experiences of the day had a great impact on him, truly opening up Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Letting him have an initial contact with¡­ the world of a Martial Artist.


    ¡°Earning Points, one way is to take office, to hold a position in the Martial Hall, and like a salary, you receive an amount every month,¡± Li Yuan thought quietly, ¡°The second way is to complete various tasks for the Martial Hall, like going into the Star Realm¡­¡±


    Li Yuan only glanced over and didn¡¯t focus on the methods of obtaining Points.


    It was temporarily unrelated to him.


    ¡°Me, a little guy with only 7th Level Physical Quality, what Points can I earn?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m merely a reserved member, not yet a formal member.¡±


    ¡°The Martial Hall let me in just to spend money.¡±


    ¡°What I need to do now,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°is to use the Points and money gifted to me by the Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°To improve my family and¡­ enhance my strength,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°Strive to get into one of the top five prestigious schools and become a Martial Artist.¡±

 Chapter 37 - 35 Training Plan

    Chapter 37: Chapter 35 Training Plan


    After communicating with Teacher Xu and Instructor Xing,


    Li Yuan understood that signing a contract in advance didn¡¯t mean he could forgo attending university.


    An early contract was essentially an investment by the Martial Hall; they would provide Li Yuan with some guidance in his cultivation but wouldn¡¯t cover everything.


    For him, the best path was still to take the college entrance exam and attend a Martial Arts University.


    ¡°According to Teacher Xu, the Martial Hall is a gathering place for martial artists and in the grand scheme of human civilization, its role is to be combat-ready, not necessarily to nurture talent,¡±


    ¡°What the Martial Hall needs more is immediate combat power,¡± Li Yuan mused quietly, ¡°The responsibility for nurturing lies with the Martial Arts University. That¡¯s where the most comprehensive training for martial artists is available.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Be it the nation or the Seven Star Alliance, all sorts of precious resources are poured into Martial Arts Universities.¡±


    ¡°Many invaluable resources are provided for free in universities, but inside the Martial Hall, you have to spend a fortune to acquire them.¡±


    ¡°Even some priceless resources aren¡¯t available in the Martial Hall.¡±


    Attending a Martial Arts University would mean receiving the best martial artists¡¯ education.


    Many top martial artists would take turns serving and mentoring students at various Martial Arts Universities.


    ¡°Only through systematic study at a Martial Arts University can one proceed more steadily and farther on the path of a martial artist,¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t dare overestimate himself.


    It¡¯s true he had awoken the Mind Spirit Divine Palace by chance, but the more he saw, the more he realized how insignificant he was.


    ¡°Just like uncle said,¡±


    ¡°On the road to growth, sometimes you need the support of influential people, and sometimes you need opportunities,¡± Li Yuan murmured, ¡°Teacher Xu is my benefactor.¡±


    ¡°Signing a contract early with Starfire Martial Hall is my opportunity.¡±


    ¡°What I need to do is to make good use of them to help me enter a broader domain.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Starfire Space,


    ¡°Little Jade, weren¡¯t my cultivation points 3 million?¡± Li Yuan asked in confusion, ¡°Why does it show 2.8 million now?¡±


    ¡°Master,¡±


    ¡°As an L3-level member, you enjoy many privileges from the Martial Hall every year, like the family card and your exclusive Martial Arts Room¡­ You have to pay 200,000 points for these, which are automatically deducted,¡± the girl in purple said playfully, ¡°Cultivation points are unique to martial arts prodigies who have signed early contracts.¡±


    ¡°They work similarly to points but can only be used to purchase non-physical martial arts cultivation services.¡±


    ¡°The 200,000 points you need to deduct will be taken first from your cultivation points,¡± the girl in purple added.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    If points are considered the internal currency of the Martial Hall, then cultivation points¡­ are like ¡®coupons¡¯ for early signees, with many restrictions.


    ¡°It can only be used for paying annual fees, mentorship from famous teachers, skill secret manuals, Origin Power manuals, cultivation video tutorials¡­¡± Li Yuan browsed the uses of cultivation points.


    All of which were non-physical.


    ¡°No wonder the Martial Hall is so generous,¡± Li Yuan muttered, ¡°3 million cultivation points? In name, they¡¯re worth 3 million Blue Star Coins, but items like various secret manuals and cultivation videos¡­ the Martial Hall could recreate numerous copies if they were willing, with almost zero cost.¡±


    Some cultivation resources, being replicable, aren¡¯t genuinely precious, so the Martial Hall can afford to be more generous with them.


    But physical resources, like qi and blood elixirs, truly require a substantial use of resources to create, so the Martial Hall would strictly control the distribution of these.


    Of course, even though cultivation points aren¡¯t as good as points, they¡¯re still quite useful.


    ¡­


    ¡°The higher the rank within the Martial Hall, the greater the privileges and the fewer points needed for the same services?¡± Li Yuan examined the Starfire ranking explanations, ¡°At L3 level, I¡¯m not doing too badly among all Martial Hall members.¡±


    He learned this after talking with Instructor Xing.


    L1 level is for trial members.


    L2 is the rank for most members of the Martial Hall. At this level, the members, mostly martial artists under level 15, and those with D-tier or C-tier preliminary contracts, fall under this category.


    L3 usually consists of basic-level Martial Hall managers or members on preliminary B-tier contracts.


    To reach L4 or L5 levels, one usually has to be a Second Rank Prime Warrior.


    For someone like Lord Wan, he¡¯s an L5-level member.


    ¡°Unless I upgrade to an A-tier contract, I¡¯ll remain an L3-level member until I become a Second Rank Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan reviewed the requirements for his B-tier contract.


    Want to move up in Starfire ranks? It depends on your innate talent and strength, as well as your contributions to the Martial Hall.


    Provisional members with an A-tier contract belong to L4 level.


    And S-tier contract¡¯s provisional members? Directly L5 level members!


    If Li Yuan wished to move from a B-tier to an A-tier contract? According to the contract stipulations, there are three ways to do that.


    ¡°First, awaken the Martial Spirit.¡±


    ¡°Second, get into Starfire University.¡±


    ¡°Third, reach the Fallen Star rank with 300 points on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18.¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly.


    The first and second routes were nearly the same in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°If I can awaken the Martial Spirit and get a 10% score bonus, with eight months of hard work and training, my chances of getting into Starfire University are extremely high.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Without awakening the Spiritual Nature, the chances of getting into Starfire University are basically zero.¡±


    Starfire University is globally known as one of the top three elite martial schools, alongside Starry Sky University and Black Stone University.


    From their names alone, one can hear the inseparable relationship these top three elite martial schools have with the three major Martial Halls.


    The difficulty of gaining admission to them is far higher than the top five famous schools of Xia Country.


    The top five famous schools of Xia Country together enroll about ten thousand students each year within the country.


    Looking globally, there are more than a dozen Martial Arts Universities comparable to Xia Country¡¯s top five.


    However, as far as Li Yuan knew, Starfire University only enrolls less than a thousand students globally each year, and no more than three hundred within Xia Country.


    Those in Xia Country who can gain admission to one of the top three elite martial schools are, with few exceptions for specially recruited students, at least among the top ten martial talents of their province.


    ¡°Legend has it, those who successfully graduate from Starfire University are mostly Second Rank Prime Warriors.¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Provincial Martial Arts Universities, the top five famous schools of Xia Country, and the top three elite global martial schools¡­ these represent three distinct levels.


    ¡°Martial Path grades, top ten in the province?¡±


    It¡¯s not that Li Yuan didn¡¯t dare to dream, but without awakening the Martial Spirit, was he supposed to just wish for it?


    Even if Li Yuan were to score 1000 points in his Martial Arts Skills, it would still be hard to break into the top ten of his province.


    The others have a total score of 1100 points.


    One must be realistic in life.


    ¡°My score isn¡¯t even in the top ten within my school year, let alone the whole province.¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t ponder further, ¡°Compared to the first two routes, the third one seems more realistic.¡±


    Reaching the Fallen Star rank with 300 points on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18.


    This path was difficult as well, but considering the rate of improvement in Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Skills, there was a glimmer of hope.


    ¡­


    After clarifying everything.


    Li Yuan spoke softly, ¡°Xiao Yu, I need a training guidance plan tailored for me.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°First, please fill out your personal information again, and be sure to provide accurate details,¡± Xiao Yu said. ¡°This way, the Martial Hall¡¯s intelligent system can make the best plan.¡±


    Hu~


    With a wave of Xiao Yu¡¯s hand, a light screen immediately appeared.


    It displayed many fields waiting to be filled out.


    Age, gender, Life Level, Fist Strength, Burst Speed, weapon used, Martial Arts Skills, Cultivation Techniques¡­ there were more than a hundred items.


    ¡°The Martial Hall should have my information, but it probably wants to double-check,¡± Li Yuan thought, as he filled out each item.


    With the Divine Palace panel at his disposal, the accuracy of the information Li Yuan provided was destined to be far beyond what other reserve members could offer.


    ¡°Please wait a moment, Master,¡± Xiao Yu said. ¡°I am requesting to utilize the intelligent resources to develop a cultivation plan for you.¡±


    Ten minutes later.


    ¡°Master, it is complete,¡± Xiao Yu announced. ¡°Please review it.¡±


    Weng~


    Quickly, a huge light screen appeared in front of Li Yuan, filled with densely packed text and explanations.


    ¡°To aid the improvement of physical quality, the main recommendation is to take a Basic Blood Medicine every two days¡­ Due to the lack of high-rank Cultivation Techniques, one must take at least one Essence Pill of Origin Power per month.¡± Li Yuan read the first item, ¡°The monthly cost is about 130,000 Blue Star Coins/points.¡±


    ¡°Basic Spirit-Nourishing Elixirs, three bottles a month, cost about 90,000 Blue Star Coins/points¡­¡±


    ¡°Deep Medicinal Baths, once every ten days, with a monthly cost of about 30,000 Blue Star Coins/points¡­¡±


    ¡°Purchase the Second Rank Spear Technique ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ for 1 million Cultivation Points.¡±


    ¡°Purchase the Second Rank movement technique ¡®Dragon Movement Technique¡¯ for 1 million Cultivation Points.¡±


    ¡°For mentorship, hire a Second Rank Prime Warrior to provide guidance on spear technique and movement technique once a month, each session costing 100,000 Cultivation Points/points/Blue Star Coins¡­¡± S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 38 - 36: Essence Pill of Origin Power (Three more for monthly votes and followers)

    Chapter 38: Chapter 36: Essence Pill of Origin Power (Three more for monthly votes and followers)


    According to the information provided by Li Yuan, the intelligent system used its vast database to come up with a very detailed training plan.


    It was also highly targeted.


    Moreover, for every plan it formulated, there was an extremely detailed explanation, explaining the reasons.


    After reading through the entire thing.


    Li Yuan had to admit that the intelligent system¡¯s analysis made a lot of sense.


    ¡°AI intelligence based on big data is indeed extraordinary,¡± Li Yuan reflected internally.


    ...


    The only problem was that the plan was very costly.


    ¡°If I follow this full set of plans by the intelligent system, I¡¯d have to spend about 400,000 Blue Star Coins/Points each month,¡± Li Yuan calculated and felt his scalp tingle: ¡°That¡¯s nearly 5 million a year.¡±


    How much were the Blue Star Coins and points given by the Martial Hall in total?


    3 million a year.


    It wasn¡¯t until this moment that Li Yuan truly understood what his uncle Li Changzhou had said.


    Full-time Martial Path?


    No money? What Martial Arts can you practice?


    To become a strong Martial Artist, you have to pay a hefty sum.


    ¡°I¡¯m not even an Entry Rank Warrior yet, and if I become a First Rank Warrior, the costs will only get higher,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Of course, Li Yuan was also aware that the training plan provided by the intelligent system belonged to the very high-end category.


    It could assist in maximizing the efficiency of the enhancement of Physical Quality, Martial Arts Skills, and spiritual power.


    Improving all three aspects together would greatly increase the hopes of becoming a Prime Warrior in the future.


    The only problem was the cost.


    Even for wealthy families like Wan Xiao¡¯s, they probably would only dare to engage in this kind of spending during the sprint phase of the High Third Rank.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue¡¯s family background seems better than Wan Xiao¡¯s, maybe her cultivation resources can reach that level,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally: ¡°No wonder her progress far exceeds that of other students.¡±


    Decent talent, effort, plus the boost from resources.


    How can an ordinary person compare with Lin Lanyue?


    ¡°My advantage lies in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace,¡± Li Yuan pondered: ¡°With the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡¯ not only can I rapidly increase spiritual power, but I can also experience deep sleep, eliminating all fatigue, worth the highest level of physical therapy.¡±


    The rapid enhancement of Li Yuan¡¯s Physical Quality owed much to the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡¯


    ¡°Therefore, items such as Spirit Nourishing Potion, top-tier physical therapy¡­ these can all be discarded,¡± Li Yuan decided.


    If he were to purchase and use them, perhaps the training efficiency would be higher.


    But then again, who asked Li Yuan to be poor?


    ¡°Being poor, I have to choose the most cost-effective method.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the other items: ¡°That way, the main expenses that require points are threefold: first is the enhancement of Physical Quality, Basic Vitality Potion, Origin Power Essence Pill.¡±


    ¡°Another item is the Deep Medicinal Bath.¡±


    ¡°Then there¡¯s sparring practice, accompanied by a Level 15 Warrior, twice a week, costing 20,000 Blue Star Coins each week,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Adding all that up.


    In a month, it would cost approximately 240,000 Blue Star Coins/Points.


    With that, by the time of the college entrance exam in June next year, the total cost would be around 2 million Blue Star Coins/Points.


    ¡°The next gift from the Martial Hall won¡¯t be until October next year,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°Moreover, I also need to save some points for after becoming an Entry Rank Warrior.¡±


    After entering the university, there will be many cultivation resources from the school, but they are not yet in sight!


    Li Yuan had to plan for himself. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°As for Cultivation Points, Spear Technique, movement technique, guidance from a master, I will ask Teacher Xu when I go back to school,¡± Li Yuan decided.


    Time slipped away by the minute and the second.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan received two bank alerts, directly displayed on the virtual network.


    ¡°Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,000,000.00 Blue Star Coins¡­¡±


    ¡°Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,200,000.00 Blue Star Coins¡­¡±


    Two deposit notifications.


    ¡°Hmm? Two sums of money, one should be the gift from Lord Wan, and the other should be the contract reward from the Martial Hall.¡± Li Yuan felt slightly puzzled, ¡°But why is the contract reward 1.2 million Blue Star Coins?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that another 300,000 Blue Star Coins are still owed to me?¡±


    Li Yuan was about to inquire with Xiao Yu.


    ¡°Master, this year¡¯s cash reward from the Martial Hall has been deposited according to the contract. All contract rewards for the 2042-2043 fiscal year have been fully accounted for,¡± Xiao Yu took the initiative to speak.


    ¡°Why is the cash from the contract reward short by 300,000?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Taxes!¡±


    ¡°Such contract rewards from the Martial Hall are made through a public account and are subject to state supervision. Taxation is mandatory, and the Martial Hall has already paid it on your behalf. Master, you can check this in the virtual tax space,¡± Xiao Yu immediately explained. ¡°Normally, for large income like this, any amount exceeding 1 million must have an income tax of up to 50% deducted.¡±


    ¡°However, contract rewards are considered privileged income, and there are tax reliefs from the state, so only 20% is deducted.¡±


    ¡°Reminder, Master, you must not evade or under-report taxes. Once discovered, the fine starts at ten times the amount,¡± Xiao Yu said cheerfully.


    ¡°But rest assured, Master, the other 1 million Blue Star Coins are a private gift and not subject to tax,¡± Xiao Yu added.


    ¡°As for points, cultivation points, they are internally disbursed by the Martial Hall, covered by the Martial Hall¡¯s running costs¡­ The Martial Hall will handle the tax calculation and payment, so Master doesn¡¯t need to worry about that,¡± Xiao Yu informed.


    Li Yuan was already feeling overwhelmed.


    Taxes?


    300,000 Blue Star Coins just gone like that? Li Yuan felt a sting of pain.


    He fell silent for a while.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, taxes should be paid.¡± Li Yuan consoled himself inwardly, ¡°With the wars in the Star Realm, basic infrastructure, education, civil welfare¡­ the state needs funds. Paying taxes is the duty of every citizen.¡±


    Since childhood, Li Yuan had been educated in such a manner.


    In the past, it was just slogans, but this time he truly understood.


    ¡°For cultivation, best to use points,¡± he decided.


    ¡°Cash, after all, has a wider range of uses,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, with a hint of anticipation, ¡°Moreover, it¡¯s time to give some cash to Auntie.¡±


    He had worked hard for so long, if not for today?


    Relieving his family¡¯s financial stress had always been one of Li Yuan¡¯s motivations.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t stay too long at the Starfire Martial Hall. By four in the afternoon, he had already returned to school.


    He found Xu Bo in his office.


    ¡°Back so soon?¡± Xu Bo was a bit surprised and asked with a smile, ¡°How do you feel?¡±


    ¡°The Martial Hall is very good,¡± said Li Yuan sincerely.


    ¡°The Martial Hall¡¯s conditions for cultivation have always been top-notch,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ve come back to me so quickly; there must be something you need, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan confirmed.


    ¡°I¡¯d like to ask for Teacher¡¯s guidance,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully, and he promptly relayed the cultivation plan from the intelligent system to Teacher Xu.


    ¡°The cultivation plan made for you by the AI is very comprehensive. It¡¯s just that they are all quite costly, and you do not have enough wealth to afford all of them, so you must choose the ones with the best cost-effectiveness,¡± Xu Bo advised. ¡°I¡¯ll just point out two things.¡±


    ¡°Please, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°Firstly, try your best to exchange for the Basic Source Energy Essence Pills,¡± Xu Bo said gravely.


    ¡°The cultivation plan suggests taking one pill a month, but in reality, it¡¯s best to see how much your body can handle¡­ If your body can withstand it, taking two pills a month is optimal.¡±


    ¡°The Basic Source Energy Essence Pills are expensive, costing 100,000 Blue Star Coins each,¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and continued, ¡°But their effects are extremely good.¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t awakened your Martial Spirit and cannot practice high-rank cultivation methods. Taking the Essence Pill can greatly make up for this drawback.¡±


    ¡°Your physical talent is already formidable.¡±


    ¡°If the results are good enough¡­¡±


    ¡°By the time of the college entrance exam, your Physical Quality could be elevated to 8.5 or even 9.0 level, surpassing Lin Lanyue is a possibility,¡± Xu Bo said earnestly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered with excitement, suddenly feeling a rush of aspiration.


    But he also felt a wave of pressure.


    He had become a millionaire, so why did it feel like he was poorer than ever?

 Chapter 39 - 37 The Magical Origin Power

    Chapter 39: Chapter 37 The Magical Origin Power


    ¡°Two pills a month?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Basic Source Energy Essence Pills cost 100,000 Blue Star Coins/Points each, and if he were to take two, it would greatly increase his monthly budget.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t taken Source Energy Essence Pills before, have you?¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°No.¡± Li Yuan shook his head. His family couldn¡¯t afford such precious cultivation treasures.


    Families like his uncle and aunt, who could provide their children with basic vitality potions on a long-term basis, were already in the minority.


    Source Energy Essence Pills? Only billionaires would dare to purchase and use them regularly.


    ...


    ¡°Then let me explain to you that Source Energy Essence Pills are essentially substitutes for High Rank Cultivation Methods,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°Do you know the fundamental difference between Basic Cultivation Methods and High Rank Cultivation Methods?¡±


    ¡°Cultivation efficiency,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°That¡¯s the outcome, not the reason,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°Basic Cultivation Methods efficiently absorb the energy produced from the food we eat, thus promoting life¡¯s progress.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The modern human being¡¯s most fundamental difference from the traditional martial arts of the past lies in the Cultivation Methods.


    They are the keys to unlocking life evolution.


    ¡°But Basic Cultivation Methods have their limits,¡± Xu Bo continued. ¡°No matter how strong our digestive system is, we can eat ten pounds of nutritious meals a day, but can we eat a hundred pounds?¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°Right, even with high-energy food, there will be impurities, and eating too much would be more than the body can handle,¡± Xu Bo continued. ¡°But for a powerful Martial Artist, not to mention pushing the body to evolve further, even to maintain the body¡¯s state requires massive energy consumption.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s like an electric car, the more powerful it is, the more electricity it consumes.¡±


    ¡°Like me, your teacher.¡±


    Boom!


    With one step, Xu Bo moved as if a phantom, the air instantly exploding, the airflow surging into wind.


    Xu Bo stopped at the other end of the office.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Is this what a 19th rank Martial Artist is like?¡± Li Yuan watched, holding his breath, a hint of excitement in his heart.


    He was certain that Teacher Xu just now erupted with a burst speed definitely exceeding 50 meters per second.


    To know, this was an on-the-spot burst, not Xu Bo¡¯s maximum burst speed.


    This was what truly powerful Martial Artists were like.


    Xu Bo walked back slowly and said as he walked, ¡°Every day, to maintain my strong body, if I relied only on eating, I would have to consume several tens of pounds of high-energy food.¡±


    ¡°This is still in urban life, if I were to fight with Star Realm Creatures, the consumption would be greater, two hundred pounds of high-energy food wouldn¡¯t be enough.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    He thought of elephants and giraffes, which spent most of their day eating.


    If they exercised, their consumption would be even greater.


    ¡°That¡¯s why we have produced vitality potions,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°Vitality potions are essentially extracted from food, easier for the body to absorb, and almost free from impurities, though they come at a costly price.¡±


    ¡°By taking them, one can reduce the demand for food.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    By using vitality potions, the burden of eating would be reduced and the efficiency of cultivation could be at least doubled.


    ¡°But as one progresses, becoming a 15th rank Martial Artist or even stronger, vitality potions alone are no longer enough.¡±


    ¡°In recent decades, Source Energy Essence Pills have emerged, allowing us to directly absorb Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°What is Origin Power?¡±


    ¡°Since the alteration of the Six Great Star Bridges hundreds of years ago, the most mysterious energy ¡®Origin Power¡¯ appeared in the Starry Sky,¡± Xu Bo said, somewhat emotionally. ¡°Once we can absorb Origin Power, the speed of our body¡¯s evolution will increase tenfold, a hundredfold.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Origin Power was exceedingly magical.


    Powerful Martial Artists could, in just a few decades, achieve flying through the heavens and the earth, and even walk out unscathed from the center of a nuclear explosion¡­ all because they absorbed Origin Power and promoted their body¡¯s evolution.


    With the body of a human, they rivalled the Divine.


    ¡°There are three methods to absorb Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°First is to have a Physical Quality of at least 19th rank, with sufficiently profound skills, and a perfect unity of body, mind, and intent to barely perceive Origin Power and achieve initial absorption,¡± Xu Bo said gravely. ¡°This is the most primitive absorption method, very inefficient, but the first generation of Martial Artists became strong step by step using this method.¡±


    ¡°Later on.¡±


    ¡°As the number of Martial Artists grew more and more, and became stronger and stronger, the first High Rank Cultivation Technique was finally deduced, drastically increasing the efficiency of absorbing Origin Power by more than ten times,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°Subsequent techniques, the second, the third¡­ until now, our human civilization has developed seven major High Rank Cultivation Methods.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Even ordinary people can achieve preliminary absorption of Origin Power and greatly increase the efficiency of enhancing their Physical Quality if they resonate with corresponding High Rank Cultivation Methods.¡± Xu Bo said with a hint of regret as he looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan understood what Teacher Xu meant.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Awakening Martial Spirit wasn¡¯t as mystical as the ¡®Spirit Root¡¯ depicted in novels.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Its essence is about compatibility with the seven High Rank Cultivation Methods.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    A compatibility over 85% is considered an awakening.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Why does human civilization place such immense importance on Martial Spirit? Because ordinary people who practice High Rank Cultivation Methods can gradually absorb the Origin Power from the universe to strengthen their bodies.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    As a result, the efficiency of Life Evolution spikes, and the hope of becoming a Prime Warrior greatly increases. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Secondly, Origin Power exists everywhere in the Starry Sky of the universe.

    It is not only much more potent than any medicament for Qi and blood, but also inexhaustible, saving a vast amount of resources for the entire human civilization.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Absorbing Origin Power through High Rank Cultivation Methods is the second method, and it¡¯s the best method,¡± Xu Bo shook his head, ¡°but you can¡¯t do it now¡­ Li Yuan, if you want to absorb the Origin Power from the universe on your own, you can only use the most primitive absorption method.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°That would require your Physical Quality to be elevated to level 19.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.

    ¡°`


    Not absorbing Origin Power yet raising your Physical Quality to level 19? You can imagine how difficult that would be.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`

    ¡°The world¡¯s number one Martial Artist, ¡®Dongfang Ji¡¯, once said that every person is uniquely endowed and should have a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°If our human civilization could give birth to a hundred High Rank Cultivation Techniques, then everyone will find a High Rank Cultivation Method that suits them from their youth, and the concept of Martial Spirit would no longer exist.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°By then, the speed at which Martial Artists are born in our human civilization will be more than ten times faster than it is now,¡± Xu Bo quoted Dongfang Ji, ¡°and this will require generations of Martial Artists to struggle and strive for.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°A hundred High Rank Cultivation Methods?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Human civilization, from the era of Life Evolution, has only spawned seven universal High Rank Cultivation Methods in nearly two hundred years.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    However, compared to the three High Rank Cultivation Methods more than eighty years ago,


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    the pace at which Martial Artists are born in this era has increased several times.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The more Martial Artists there are, the larger the base, the increased number of powerful Martial Artists, which in turn accelerates the speed at which High Rank Cultivation Methods are created.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This cycle is virtuous.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    And it constantly strengthens human civilization.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The third method to absorb Origin Power is through Essence Pills; this emerged in the last two to three decades,¡± Xu Bo explained, ¡°Essence Pills contain traces of Origin Power, which can be absorbed immediately upon consumption.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°It¡¯s just that Origin Power is domineering.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Without the aid of High Rank Cultivation Methods to help with the assimilation, the absorption will be very difficult,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°Therefore, an ordinary person should suffice with one pill a month.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Your natural Physical Quality actually belongs to the very top tier; it¡¯s just that you don¡¯t have a fitting High Rank Cultivation Method.¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with a touch of regret, ¡°And with your strong spiritual power, perhaps you could manage two pills per month.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan nodded and replied with a candid smile, ¡°If I don¡¯t have a High Rank Cultivation Method that suits me.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Then in the future, I will strive to create one.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Ha ha,¡± Xu Bo laughed upon hearing this, ¡°That¡¯s the spirit; your Teacher awaits.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°This ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯, along with the ¡®Dragon Movement Technique¡¯, are inherited from the same lineage as the ¡®Solid Rock Cultivation Technique¡¯, which I suggest you switch to,¡± Xu Bo continued, ¡°Both of these Secret Manuals are highly reputed among Martial Artists, pointing directly to the Fifth Stage of skill.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Pointing directly to the Fifth Stage of skill?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    His own skill was only at the Third Stage.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Teacher, can¡¯t you teach me a Second Rank Secret Manual?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Me?¡± Xu Bo was first taken aback and then he smiled, ¡°Indeed, I have practiced many Second Rank Secret Manuals, covering Spear Techniques, Sword Techniques, and movement techniques.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°But I can¡¯t teach you,¡± Xu Bo shook his head, ¡°Have you not noticed that I¡¯ve never advised you to practice a Second Rank Secret Manual?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Why not?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°I only have the right to learn, not the right to instruct.¡± Xu Bo explained, ¡°Like the Fist Techniques, Spear Techniques, and movement techniques you are currently studying¡ªall of these are First Rank Secret Manuals, suitable for students with First Stage and Second Stage skills.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°A vast number of First Rank Secret Manuals and Cultivation Methods are completely public and free for all citizens.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°But from the Second Rank Secret Manuals onwards, there are copyrights,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°They must be purchased before they can be used.¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t have a purchase record and are caught learning or spreading it, you will be found guilty of violating the law.¡±


    ¡°Once verified, you will be punished jointly by the Martial Arts Hall and the Culture Hall, starting at ten times the cost,¡± Xu Bo shook his head and said, ¡°In serious cases, you might even be sent to prison.¡±


    Prison? Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Teacher, could this approach be detrimental to the evolution of human civilization¡¯s martial path?¡± Li Yuan hesitated slightly, ¡°What about the poor?¡±


    No money, no right to learn high-rank skill secret manuals?


    ¡°Your thoughts are correct, indeed this is somewhat unfair to the poor,¡± Teacher Xu said, ¡°Copyright protection is a double-edged sword.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Too much protection can stifle innovation.¡±


    ¡°But without any protection, innovation can also be stifled,¡± Teacher Xu said, ¡°Therefore, after many social experiments, the current situation has been established.¡±


    ¡°Cultivation methods, whether basic or high-rank, are completely open, and a large number of first-rank secret manuals are also completely free.¡±


    ¡°This is enough to allow ordinary people to try the martial path for free,¡± Teacher Xu said.


    ¡°For most people, reaching the third stage in skill would be extremely difficult.¡±


    ¡°If one truly is a martial path genius,¡± Teacher Xu said, ¡°with astonishing talent for technique or an extraordinary body, then the nation or even the Seven Star Alliance have various channels to find talents, providing cultivation resources for free.¡±


    ¡°Striving to discover all martial path geniuses is the purpose of all human civilization forces.¡±


    ¡°Like you, being offered a contract by the Martial Hall in advance is one of the channels for discovery,¡± Teacher Xu smiled and said, ¡°Similarly, students at Martial Arts University have free access to many second-rank and even third-rank secret manuals in the ¡®Martial Knowledge Web¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The cost of the secret manual royalties is paid by the nation on behalf of Martial Arts University students.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    The nation, or rather the whole of human civilization, had long considered this point.


    ¡°With copyright fees.¡±


    ¡°Under the drive of interest, powerful martial artists are more motivated to create new skill secret manuals and cultivation methods,¡± Teacher Xu said, ¡°Paying copyright fees is also an encouragement for martial artists to share their creations instead of hoarding them.¡±


    ¡°With mutual exchanges, every martial artist can learn the fruits of others¡¯ wisdom, and they would grow faster.¡±


    Teacher Xu looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°In the future, if you create some powerful skill secret manuals, you can also upload them to the Culture Hall and collect copyright fees.¡±


    ¡°You can make money while sitting at home.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled, his mind drifting to the many unique skills and teachings in history that were passed on to only one or two people per generation and would be lost if any mishaps occurred.


    The continuous strengthening of human civilization comes from the passing down of knowledge from generation to generation.


    The martial path is the same.


    ¡°With your current martial arts realm, learning two second-rank secret manuals is enough,¡± Teacher Xu instructed, ¡°Wait until your spear technique and movement technique both break through to the fourth level, then it won¡¯t be too late to learn more second-rank secret manuals.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Without a high enough martial arts realm, trying to learn everything without mastering anything is a joke.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°In your cultivation plan, the monthly guidance from a master doesn¡¯t need to be included,¡± Teacher Xu said, ¡°My guidance will suffice.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯ve purchased the copyright to a manual, my guidance won¡¯t count as a copyright infringement.¡±


    ¡°Not seeking guidance from a Prime Warrior?¡± Li Yuan hesitated slightly.


    Getting guidance from Teacher Xu was undoubtedly a great opportunity, but Teacher Xu was only 19th level.


    Could he really match the guidance of a second-rank Prime Warrior?


    ¡°What, you doubt your teacher?¡± Teacher Xu, seeing through Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, revealed a smile, ¡°Rest assured, my martial arts realm is not weaker than most Prime Warriors, if back then¡­ Never mind, let¡¯s not talk about that.¡±


    Teacher Xu suddenly sighed, his smile fading, seemingly with a hint of lost interest.


    ¡°Teacher, I was wrong,¡± Li Yuan quickly apologized.


    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, it has nothing to do with you,¡± Teacher Xu shook his head, then continued, ¡°From now on, on Wednesday evenings in my office, I will guide you once in spear technique and movement technique.¡±


    ¡°No extra charge.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan felt grateful in his heart.


    Once a week?


    ¡°However, the twice-a-week martial artist sparring sessions for actual combat, you need to find someone yourself,¡± Teacher Xu said, ¡°I don¡¯t have that much time.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Having the teacher personally take time out to guide him in spear technique and movement technique was very fortunate.


    He couldn¡¯t ask for more.


    You should know that to invite a second-rank Prime Warrior for guidance would cost 100,000 cultivation points for just one session.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Teacher Xu frowned deeply, gritting his teeth, showing a look of pain.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Teacher?¡± Li Yuan was shocked.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Teacher Xu said somberly, his voice even seemed a bit shaky, ¡°An old problem from the battlefield.¡±


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Martial arts cultivation, no matter how much guidance you receive, ultimately relies on your own practice,¡± Teacher Xu said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll just take some medicine and it will be fine, you should go back, and think it over,¡± Teacher Xu said, enduring the pain.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan left with worry in his heart.


    But he was smart and noticed that Teacher Xu didn¡¯t want to show his vulnerability in front of him.


    Once Li Yuan left the office. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The effects of the medicine are lasting shorter and shorter,¡± Teacher Xu clenched his teeth, ¡°I couldn¡¯t help but use Origin Power to demonstrate to Li Yuan just now, and it accelerated the onset.¡±


    Teacher Xu slowly walked to the rest area, taking out a delicately packaged small bottle from the refrigerator.


    He opened it and took the medication.


    The pain in his body quickly eased.


    ¡°It¡¯s unknown how many more years I can live,¡± Xu Bo murmured, a hint of ferocity in his eyes, ¡°If I¡¯m really close to death, I will apply to return to the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°I, Xu Bo,¡±


    ¡°if I am to die, must die on the battlefield.¡±


    It was quite a while before Xu Bo entirely recovered. Suddenly his smart ring vibrated with an unread message.


    ¡°Hmm? A message from Li Yuan? Asking about my health?¡± Xu Bo felt a touch of warmth in his heart, ¡°This kid, he does care.¡±


    Xu Bo guessed that if he didn¡¯t respond, Li Yuan would likely come to his office to check on him again.


    ¡°Black Dog,¡±


    ¡°reply to Li Yuan saying I¡¯m fine,¡± Xu Bo said sternly.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s good that Teacher is fine,¡± Li Yuan, in the school¡¯s independent Martial Arts Room, received Xu Bo¡¯s reply.


    He turned off his smart ring.


    ¡°Let¡¯s enter the virtual network.¡± Li Yuan entered the virtual network capsule beside him.


    Connecting consciousness, he directly arrived in the Starfire Space.


    ¡°Master,¡± a purple-clad young girl appeared out of thin air.


    ¡°Use Cultivation Points to purchase the Second Rank Secrets Manual ¡®Dragon Movement Technique¡¯ and the Second Rank Secrets Manual ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯,¡± Li Yuan immediately said, ¡°Also, exchange points for an Origin Power Essence Pill.¡±


    Basic vitality medicine? There were still a few bottles at home, no rush to buy them.


    ¡°Master, please confirm the purchase list.¡± Xiao Yu waved her hand, and a screen appeared in front of Li Yuan, listing the items.


    Li Yuan glanced over and confirmed they were correct.


    ¡°Confirmed.¡±


    Quickly,


    ¡°Obtained use rights for the Second Rank Secrets Manual ¡®Dragon Movement Technique¡¯, registered in the Martial Arts Hall and Culture Hall, inquiry code is¡­ 1 million Cultivation Points deducted.¡±


    ¡°Obtained use rights for the Second Rank Secrets Manual ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯¡­ 1 million Cultivation Points deducted.¡±


    ¡°Received one Origin Power Essence Pill, please fill in the delivery address¡­ 100,000 points deducted.¡±


    Li Yuan directly received three reminders from ¡®Starfire Space¡¯.


    ¡°Delivery address, let¡¯s go with home,¡± Li Yuan pondered a moment, ¡°As for the delivery time, let it be ten o¡¯clock tonight.¡±


    As a Martial Hall L3 level member, he could have delivery within 24 hours.


    ¡°Master, the Origin Power Essence Pill will be delivered to your door tomorrow,¡± Xiao Yu said cheerfully, ¡°According to copyright law, all Secret Manuals above the Second Rank must be studied in the virtual space; there are no physical copies.¡±


    ¡°Master, you now have access to all the data of the Secret Manuals and may choose to enter your personal space to study.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If there were physical manuals, private dissemination would be too easy. If disseminated through the virtual network?


    The entire virtual network is under the supervision of human civilization.


    ¡°I have to see just how impressive these Second Rank Secrets Manuals are,¡± Li Yuan thought with anticipation.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was studying the Skill Secret Manuals in the virtual network,


    in the office of Song Yi on the twelfth floor of the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s Guan Shan branch.


    ¡°Pong~¡±


    The teacup was crushed instantaneously, and tea splashed everywhere.


    But Song Yi, dressed exquisitely, didn¡¯t seem to mind, the glass shards not harming her fingers in the slightest.


    Song Yi¡¯s eyes were piercingly sharp, with a hint of coldness, ¡°What did you say? Li Yuan refused tomorrow¡¯s meeting? Why?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Zhong Cheng, clothed in black, stood, replying with a wry smile, ¡°I only received Li Yuan¡¯s message this afternoon. I sent him a message, he didn¡¯t respond.¡±


    ¡°So, I contacted his uncle, and only then I found out he has already been signed by the Starfire Martial Hall in advance,¡± Zhong Cheng said softly.


    ¡°Starfire Martial Hall?¡±


    ¡°They poached the person I had my eye on?¡± A flicker of anger crossed Song Yi¡¯s eyes, ¡°We invited him first, how could the Starfire Martial Hall be so unscrupulous?¡±


    ¡°And this Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°We already had an arrangement, and he suddenly refused, without giving you a reason,¡± Song Yi¡¯s gaze turned icy, ¡°Is this the promising candidate you spoke of?¡±


    At that moment, a trace of dissatisfaction surged in Zhong Cheng¡¯s heart.


    Blaming me for your plan?


    ¡°Hall Master Song,¡± Zhong Cheng said softly, ¡°As far as I know, there¡¯s a good reason why Li Yuan directly turned us down.¡±


    ¡°A good reason? Whose side are you on, defending him?¡± Song Yi glared at Zhong Cheng with an extremely sharp look.


    ¡°The Starfire Martial Hall offered him a Grade B contract,¡± Zhong Cheng said quickly.


    Song Yi¡¯s pupils constricted.


    In the room, there was a deadly silence.


    After a long pause,


    ¡°Get out,¡± Song Yi suddenly ordered harshly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhong Cheng nodded, turned, and left, apparently even forgetting to shut the door.

 Chapter 41 - 39 Stellar Spear Technique

    Chapter 41: Chapter 39 Stellar Spear Technique


    ¡°A B-level contract?¡±


    Song Yi sat on the sofa, murmuring to herself, ¡°In a fifth-rank branch of the hall, only the hall master is qualified to sign a B-level contract, and there are at most two quotas per year.¡±


    ¡°To obtain more quotas, one must apply to the Jiang City branch or even the Jiangbei Provincial branch.¡±


    Whether it¡¯s Starfire Martial Hall or Starry Sky Martial Hall, the rank of each branch is basically equivalent.


    The Guan Mountain District branch is a fifth-rank branch, also the most basic level branch.


    The Jiang City branch is a fourth-rank branch.


    ...


    The Jiangbei Provincial branch is a third-rank branch.


    Further up, there is the Xia Country headquarters as a second-rank branch, and the Blue Star headquarters as a first-rank branch.


    ¡°Wan Qinghe?¡±


    ¡°The rumors are indeed true, he has a gambling nature.¡± Song Yi whispered to herself, ¡°Just arrived, and he is already showing me his power.¡±


    ¡°Just you wait.¡±


    ¡°A little guy with decent spiritual power whose Martial Spirit hasn¡¯t even awakened, at best is worth a C-level contract, and you actually give a B-level contract¡ªI¡¯m going to watch your joke.¡± Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Being a Prime Warrior herself and the Vice Hall Master, Song Yi didn¡¯t truly care about missing out on signing a martial arts prodigy.


    It was just that this matter made her feel embarrassed.


    ¡­


    It was past ten o¡¯clock at night, at the Wanhua Platinum Mansion, the Li household, where usually at this time, Li Qianqian and Li Muhua would have already washed up and gone to bed.


    Today.


    The living room lights were on, and the whole family was present.


    ¡°Qianqian, Muhua.¡± Li Yuan sat on the sofa, the holographic screen of his smart ring opened, his fingertips moving across the screen, swiftly filling in the information.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were both excitedly standing next to Li Yuan, staring at the screen.


    Suddenly.


    A pop-up window on the screen jolted, displaying ¡ª Dependent¡¯s Card review passed.


    ¡°Great.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile, ¡°Your two dependent cards are set up now, tomorrow you can just use facial recognition to enter the family area of Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Wow! The Martial Hall!!¡±


    ¡°I only visited during a school activity last time, the venue is so huge.¡±


    ¡°Practicing there must be way better than in the residential area¡¯s Martial Arts Room.¡±


    ¡°Brother, is everything really free?¡± Li Qianqian and Li Muhua asked with great excitement and enthusiasm, pestering Li Yuan.


    Sitting on a small stool, Chen Hui watched this scene with a smile.


    ¡°Not everything is free.¡±


    ¡°But things like fruits, drinks, basic physiotherapy, the public martial arts room, and the weekly public martial arts classes¡­ these are all free. There are a few things that cost money, such as nutritional meals, but your dependent cards are linked to my account already. If you want to buy something small, just swipe the card.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°From now on, have dinner every night directly at the Martial Hall, then practice in the public Martial Arts Room.¡±


    Middle schoolers don¡¯t have evening self-study sessions.


    ¡°At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, come to the entrance of the Martial Hall building and wait for me; we¡¯ll ride home together.¡± Li Yuan looked at his younger siblings.


    L3 members, the Martial Hall will provide a ¡®private electric car¡¯ free of charge, with right of use, and available on call within Jiang City.


    ¡°Yay.¡±


    ¡°Last time, my classmate even bragged to me that he got a W2 level membership card of the Martial Hall.¡± Li Muhua¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement: ¡°Brother, from what I read, the permissions for a family card are even higher, comparable to the W3 level membership card.¡±


    ¡°And there¡¯s physiotherapy.¡± Li Qianqian also said excitedly, ¡°After I practice each time, my whole body aches to death¡­¡±


    The siblings discussed more and more animatedly.


    Li Yuan looked at the excitement of his brother and sister, feeling joy in his heart.


    He had been wholly devoted to cultivation since the second year of junior high.


    All to improve the family conditions like today, wasn¡¯t it?


    Li Yuan always felt that he occupied the resources and affection meant for his younger siblings, and being able to compensate them was the happiest thing for him.


    ¡°Okay, the cards are taken care of.¡± Chen Hui reined in her smile and said seriously, ¡°This is because your brother worked hard and risked his life to get an early contract.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t expect you to be as outstanding as your brother, but you must work hard to cultivate while in the Martial Hall, understand?¡±


    ¡°We know, Mom.¡± Li Qianqian said with a smile.


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m definitely going to learn from brother and strive to sign a contract with the Martial Hall in advance too.¡± Li Muhua said with a determined expression, ¡°Then I¡¯ll get you a big house.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll wait for when you can take care of me later, now go wash up.¡± Chen Hui hurried them to the bathroom.


    A few minutes later, Chen Hui returned to the living room.


    ¡°Aunt, I just transferred one million Blue Star Coins to you, you received it, right?¡± Li Yuan spoke softly.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you, we still have money at home.¡± Chen Hui said helplessly, ¡°Once you become a martial artist, you¡¯ll have no end of places to spend money.¡±


    ¡°Aunt.¡±


    ¡°This money is for Qianqian and Muhua¡¯s preparation.¡± Li Yuan spoke earnestly, ¡°Muhua has awakened his Martial Spirit; following the standard procedure, it won¡¯t be difficult to get into Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°But for Qianqian¡­ she hasn¡¯t awakened her Martial Spirit, and she must not be cut off from basic Qi-blood potions, otherwise, she won¡¯t be able to keep up with martial arts cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Qianqian¡¯s martial arts talent¡­¡± Chen Hui hesitated, as she hadn¡¯t planned to let Li Qianqian pursue deep martial arts training.


    ¡°Aunt,¡±


    Li Yuan interrupted Chen Hui¡¯s thoughts, ¡°Qianqian¡¯s talent for the Martial Path may indeed be low, but that¡¯s exactly why we must strive to cultivate her all the more. For the college entrance exam, even if she takes the academic route, the martial arts score still accounts for 30%.¡±


    ¡°Qianqian has good academic grades. As long as her martial arts grades are slightly better, she has a chance of getting admitted to a C9 university.¡± Li Yuan stressed.


    ¡°As for me?¡±


    ¡°The money I have left is enough for now.¡±


    ¡°After the January mock exam, the school will have scholarships.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°If I get into university, there are various state awards.¡±


    After a lot of persuasion, Chen Hui finally agreed to accept the money reluctantly.


    ¡­


    Late at night, upon returning to his own room.


    ¡°I gave Aunt one million Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°I have 1.33 million left in cash.¡± Li Yuan glanced over his account balance.


    The next cash deposit from the Martial Hall, ¡®1.2 million Blue Star Coins¡¯, wouldn¡¯t arrive until next October.


    One could say.


    Li Yuan¡¯s current cash and Martial Hall points, used for purchasing various martial arts resources, may not last until then.


    But Li Yuan had no regrets.


    ¡°In martial arts cultivation, money is never enough. If you want to make excuses not to give, there¡¯s always an excuse.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone fiercely, ¡°But for my brother and sister, these years are also the most critical.¡±


    ¡°Resources not enough?¡±


    ¡°Find another way.¡±


    ¡°There are still three months until the January assessment test, give it your all, and break into the top five.¡± Li Yuan had not forgotten Teacher Xu Bo¡¯s promise.


    Breaking into the top ten of the grade, one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.


    The top five, a Special Scholarship of five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start with learning Spear Technique.¡± Li Yuan sat inside the virtual network pod, connecting his consciousness to it.


    He arrived at his personal cultivation space.


    It was empty, with both length and width exceeding 200 meters, and the height was also over 50 meters.


    ¡°Learn the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯.¡± Li Yuan said loudly, ¡°First time learning.¡±


    Immediately.


    ¡°Boom~¡± A large amount of light converged, eventually forming the figure of a burly man in a black battle garment, wielding a long spear with a sharp gaze.


    He looked straight at Li Yuan.


    The intangible aura he emitted caused Li Yuan to instinctively tense up, but it was only momentary.


    ¡°Virtual teaching, huh?¡± Li Yuan looked at the man in black.


    ¡°The ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ is a Second Level Spear Technique, an advanced evolution of the First Rank ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯ originated from the ¡®Solid Rock Cultivation Technique¡¯, embodying the steadiness of a boulder, immovable as a mountain.¡± The man in black spoke deeply, ¡°It emphasizes defense over offense, turning the enemy¡¯s momentum into nothingness¡­¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    As he spoke, the man in black swung his long spear, performing various moves¡ªretracting, thrusting straight, slamming down in fury, whipping, and parrying with the spear¡­ The seemingly simple techniques appeared so familiar to Li Yuan.


    Indeed, it was the ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯ that he had practiced countless times, and within it, he also saw shadows of the unique spear moves he had derived.


    Solid Rock Pillar, Cavern-Hiding Dragon, Myriad Mountain Vistas¡­ one technique flowed into the next.


    They all looked quite ordinary, but in the hands of the man in black, there was a transformative magic to them.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°This! This!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°I¡¯ve been practicing spearwork for several years, first mastering the basic techniques, then cultivating the ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique,¡¯ eventually breaking through to the Third Stage, and deriving a few unique moves.¡±


    ¡°But my techniques, how could they be as coherent? Perfectly impregnable.¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    So formidable!


    It was the same technique, but the power varied greatly depending on the practitioner. The man in black was far stronger than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Fourth Stage.¡±


    ¡°The Spear Technique demonstrated by this man in black is definitely of the Fourth Stage Realm, truly unifying all of his body¡¯s vigor as one. He is the spear, and the spear is him.¡± Li Yuan realized, ¡°This is the realm of a Spear Technique Master.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Solid Rock Fist Technique¡¯ has eighteen forms.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯ also has eighteen routines.¡± The man in black¡¯s practice grew faster, but his energy was powerful, his voice resonant as a large bell, ¡°But as you continue practicing, you must try to gradually simplify the eighteen routines.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately forming five major killing moves.¡±


    ¡°Solid Rock Pillar, Cavern-Hiding Dragon, Myriad Mountain Vistas, Cloud Layered Peaks, Rock-Stabilizing Heaven and Earth.¡± The man in black listed consecutively.


    The first three killing moves he mentioned were also exactly the ones Li Yuan had independently realized.


    ¡°What I¡¯ve realized is the same as the foundational part of the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯?¡± Li Yuan felt greatly excited in his heart.


    This was enough to show.


    His Spear Technique cultivation had been on the most correct path all along.


    Of course, Li Yuan was aware that those few killing moves were not entirely realized by himself. In some sense, it was Teacher Xu Bo¡¯s repeated guidance that had kept him from straying.


    ¡°Once you master the five major killing moves, your Spear Technique should approach Third Stage Perfection, which also means completing the foundational cultivation of the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯.¡± The man in black said, ¡°At that point, you can try to cultivate the ¡®Stellar Five Moves¡¯.¡±


    ¡°As long as you learn any one of those moves, it represents that your Spear Technique has stepped into the Fourth Stage Realm.¡±


    ¡°If in the future,¡±


    ¡°you manage to fully comprehend the ¡®Stellar Five Moves,¡¯ even reaching the Stellar Realm¡­ that will be the Fifth Stage Spear Technique Realm.¡±


    ¡°The skill level will be nearly divine, ranking as a master among all of human civilization.¡± The man in black continued, ¡°Now, follow me and practice the ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯s five major killing moves.¡±


    Subsequently, the man in black persisted in his demonstration, and Li Yuan too materialized a long spear.


    And began to practice along with him.


    The man in black would break down every move of the ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯, practicing them part by part.


    Through observing Li Yuan¡¯s standard of Spear Technique, he would lead him in his cultivation, assisting Li Yuan in comprehending the nuances of force transition between the changes in spear moves.


    This man in black was clearly an intelligent teacher.


    And as his practice deepened, Li Yuan could feel the power of this Second Rank Secret Manual.


    It was several times more efficient than his solitary contemplation.


    ¡°One million Cultivation Points, worth it!¡± Li Yuan was extremely excited in his heart.


    What he purchased was not merely a manual.


    But also the full guidance of an intelligent teacher.


    ¡°However, practicing in virtual reality is just mental learning. To truly learn with the physical body, there needs to be extensive training in reality.¡± Li Yuan was very clear about this.


    Mind and body must learn together; only then is something truly learned.


    ¡­


    After studying the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ for an hour, Li Yuan began to learn the ¡®Dragon Movement Technique¡¯ in the virtual space.


    This was also a very exquisite movement technique.


    ¡­


    In the early morning after 1 AM, Li Yuan exited the virtual network and came to the window, the world silent.


    ¡°Virtual cultivation is an aid.¡±


    ¡°The key is still reality, first cultivate the ¡®Observing the Great Sun and Stars Scripture¡¯ for two hours, then head to the school for practice.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself as he sat cross-legged, his mind¡¯s consciousness already entering the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    At past 4 AM, Li Yuan finally left home and ran towards the school.


    It had been a long time since he went to school that late.


    ¡­


    Senior year learning was tedious, yet Li Yuan found joy in it, constantly moving between school, home, and the Martial Hall.


    Feeling his own strength increase day by day.


    Day after day.


    In the blink of an eye, over two months had passed.

 Chapter 42 - 40 Li Yuans Strength

    Chapter 42: Chapter 40 Li Yuan¡¯s Strength


    Late December in Jiang City has descended into winter, with temperatures lingering around zero degrees.


    Inside the Starfire Martial Hall branch in Guanshan, the temperature is kept at a constant 20 degrees Celsius, making it exceedingly comfortable.


    Martial Arts Room 7024.


    Two men clad in full protective gear, even with helmets fitting tightly, each brandishing a cold weapon, are engaged in fierce combat.


    ¡°Kill!¡± One of the figures, nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall in his shoes, wielding a silver long spear, moves in a motion reminiscent of a swimming dragon. The spear suddenly swings out, leaving a blur as it thrusts towards his opponent.


    Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!


    ...


    The other figure nearly two meters tall, extremely burly, wields a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.


    Reacting even faster, acting later but striking first.


    The large shield brutally smashes forward, like an indomitable copper wall and iron barrier, slamming hard against the incoming spear thrust.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan, holding the long spear, feels as though he struck a steel plate. The terrifying force rebounds through the spear; a normal martial artist would probably find their arm numb from the impact.


    ¡°Stick!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s long spear is incredibly flexible, as he retreats accordingly, even pulling back the shaft of the spear to shed as much of the force as possible.


    Retreating does not mean falling behind.


    Sometimes, only by shedding force can one minimize the damage sustained.


    ¡°Whoo!¡±


    The long spear thrusts again, suddenly whooshing through the air. In an instant, it seems to create dozens of phantoms, covering the sky as it envelops the opponent.


    The Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯s five major deadly moves include ¡®Myriad Mountain Phantasms.¡¯


    Skilled in group attacks, skilled in confusion.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Bursts of blade light flare up, colliding with the spear shadows in an instant; the figure in black armor alternates between swinging his sword and using his shield to block.


    Retreating eight steps consecutively, he barely withstands Li Yuan¡¯s full set of deadly moves.


    ¡°Be careful now.¡±


    Li Yuan roars suddenly like thunder.


    Fortunately, it¡¯s a soundproofed room; otherwise, there would certainly be complaints of disturbing the peace.


    You should know, after firing more than twenty consecutive spear thrusts, Li Yuan¡¯s aura reached its peak. Accompanying his roaring shout, his spear transformed into a great dragon, howling as it brought down a terrifying force.


    Solid Rock Spear Technique¡¯s five major deadly moves ¡ª Ground and Sky!


    This move treats the spear like a heavy club or a battle halberd, as unstoppable as a rolling boulder, it¡¯s the most ferocious burst of power.


    Switching between the two deadly moves is extremely fast.


    The black armored figure, in this moment of danger, seems to only be able to raise his shield instinctively, doing his best to block the falling spear.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    After the brutal impact, the figure in black armor looks somewhat disheveled, but his body easily withstands the impact before retreating.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯ve won.¡± The figure in black armor suddenly speaks, his voice tinged with resignation and a trace of emotion. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan stops and stands still with his spear.


    Click~


    Click~ Both remove their helmets.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your spear technique has advanced frighteningly fast. That final continuous attack must have been two deadly moves, right?¡± The man holding the shield is a bearded brute in his forties with a scar on his face.


    ¡°Right.¡±


    Li Yuan nods with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s the basic chapter deadly moves from the Second Rank Secret Manual ¡®Stellar Spear Technique.¡¯ I¡¯ve just gained control over the integration of these two moves.¡±


    Indeed, Li Yuan had only recently attained preliminary control over the last of the five deadly moves ¡®Ground and Sky¡¯ in the virtual network.


    Today was the first time he practiced it in real combat.


    ¡°Impressive.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been sparring with you for two months, and your progress in spear technique is truly terrifying. I¡¯ve never seen a spear technique prodigy like you before. I was able to suppress you with my sword technique at the beginning, but now you¡¯ve surpassed me in skill level,¡± the bearded brute reflects, ¡°Just now, I used about a level 8.0 Physical Quality, clearly stronger than you in speed and power, but I still couldn¡¯t dominate you.¡±


    ¡°That last spear thrust, I had to use almost a level 9 strength, or I definitely wouldn¡¯t have withstood it.¡±


    Li Yuan smiles.


    To execute ¡®Ground and Sky,¡¯ if you directly engage, it¡¯s easy for the opponent to evade.


    The best way is to build momentum with Myriad Mountain Phantasms and then strike the final blow to crush the enemy.


    ¡°Your spear technique,¡± the bearded brute looks at Li Yuan, ¡°has already surpassed my sword technique by a margin, and should be close to the Fourth Stage Realm.¡±


    ¡°Not quite,¡± Li Yuan shakes his head. ¡°I haven¡¯t fully mastered the basic chapter of the Second Rank Secret Manual yet. I still need Uncle Hu to spar with me more.¡±


    ¡°Haha, no problem,¡± the bearded brute laughs. ¡°Next, shall we switch it up, and I attack while you defend?¡±


    ¡°Sure,¡± Li Yuan nods.


    This bearded brute named ¡®Fang Longhu¡¯ is a regular instructor at Starfire Martial Hall, a Level 15 martial artist, and he was recommended to Li Yuan by Instructor Xing as a sparring partner.


    Twice a week, for an hour each session, at a cost of 10,000 Blue Star Coins per session.


    A sparring partner in actual combat must be far stronger than oneself.


    A martial artist of at least Level 15 is necessary to better manage the fight when sparring with Li Yuan.


    Half an hour later.


    Li Yuan finishes today¡¯s combat session and sees off Fang Longhu.


    ¡°Whew!¡±


    ¡°Real combat is indeed more exhilarating than virtual fighting,¡± Li Yuan mutters to himself, quite excited.


    Virtual fighting can comprehensively train various techniques, but it ultimately lacks a sense of reality.


    Actual combat is the ultimate goal.


    ¡°Every time I engage in real combat, I feel that my Spear Technique and movement technique improve much faster.¡± Li Yuan reflected, ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that actual combat opportunities are extremely rare.¡±


    First, getting injured is easy in actual combat; once injured, just healing takes a long time and seriously delays cultivation.


    Second, good sparring partners are hard to find and expensive; ordinary people simply can¡¯t afford them.


    ¡°Professional sparring partners like Fang Longhu, aside from their day job at the Martial Hall, can earn several hundred thousand Blue Star Coins each month just from sparring.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    You should know that Fang Longhu has basically given up on becoming a Prime Warrior, spending very little on the Martial Path and just maintaining his physical quality.


    Therefore, it¡¯s quite easy for him to earn a few million a year.


    ¡°Martial Arts Cultivation is a gold-consuming pit, but if you achieve a little success, you can also earn a lot, and without taking risks.¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°If a 15th-level Martial Artist earns like this, what about a Prime Warrior? No wonder Hall Master Wan gave me 1 million Blue Star Coins without a second thought.¡±


    ¡°My Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°It improved by 1% tonight, and recently, progress has been getting slower.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the Divine Palace panel appeared in his view.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 7.7 (Entry Rank)]


    Physical Quality Index: 80 (A comprehensive assessment of various aspects including Explosive Power, Endurance, Speed, Physique, Spiritual Power, etc.)

    Mental Cultivation Method: Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Third Stage 88%), Movement Technique (Third Stage 65%), Fist Technique (Third Stage 99%)


    [Note: There is some kind of high-level Spiritual Nature latent within the body that has not been awakened.]


    ¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Judging by the rate of progress over the past half a month, it will take at least one more month to increase the Spear Technique to Third Stage 99%,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°And transitioning from Third Stage to Fourth Stage will be a major bottleneck.¡±


    ¡°This step has stumped countless formidable Martial Artists.¡±


    Over the past few months at Starfire Martial Hall, Li Yuan had met many Martial Artists.


    And with his own cultivation, he gradually came to understand the significance of Fourth Level Martial Arts Skills.


    ¡°At the Martial Hall, I know more than a dozen Martial Artists above level 16.¡±


    ¡°Apart from Instructor Xing, none have managed to cultivate their skills to the Fourth Level and above,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    First Rank Martial Artists mostly have Third Stage standard Martial Arts Skills.


    Most people¡¯s skills don¡¯t even match Li Yuan¡¯s current level.


    ¡°Xu Bo¡¯s Stick Technique easily crushes mine,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help recalling the past two months.


    Receiving guidance from Xu Bo once a week.


    ¡°With such high-level skills, why didn¡¯t he become a Prime Warrior? Was it because of an injury?¡± Li Yuan had many speculations in his heart.


    Feeling fully rested, Li Yuan suppressed the various thoughts.


    ¡°Never mind.¡±


    ¡°Continue with the Spear Technique practice.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just mastered the five major killing moves of the Solid Rock Spear Technique, and if I can connect them perfectly, I estimate it¡¯ll reach Third Stage 99%.¡± Li Yuan was extremely excited, ¡°I will strive to bring my Spear Technique close to 99% before the January Evaluation.¡±


    Only ten days left until the January Evaluation.


    ¡°Hoo!¡±


    ¡°Hoo!¡± Li Yuan continued to practice his Spear Technique, and another hour passed in a blink of an eye, bringing the time to past eight in the evening.


    He put away the Long Spear into the weapon cabinet.


    Drenched in sweat, Li Yuan first took a satisfying hot shower in the rest room.


    Then, he retrieved a delicately packaged medicine bottle from the treatment room.


    ¡°Origin Power Essence Pill.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been 20 days since the last time I took one, it¡¯s about time to take another,¡± Li Yuan took out an Essence Pill from the bottle.


    He was very careful.


    After all, this single pill was worth 100,000 Blue Star Coins.


    The Origin Power Essence Pill, covered in thin wisps of purple glow, thumbnail-sized with waves of fragrance wafting out as if to entice one¡¯s cravings.


    He swallowed it directly.


    Li Yuan returned to the center of the Martial Arts Room and stood in a posture as immovable as a boulder, focusing his spirit.


    Soon.


    Wisps of rather fiery and overbearing energy gradually spread from Li Yuan¡¯s chest to his limbs and throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.


    This was Origin Power.


    ¡°Ah~ So comfortable!¡± Li Yuan enjoyed the sensation immensely.


    ¡°Hiss~¡±


    ¡°Hiss~¡± The muscles, tendons, and bones within Li Yuan¡¯s body hungrily devoured every bit of Origin Power roaming through him, becoming stronger and tougher.


    [Your Life Level has increased from 7.7 to 7.8.]


    [Your Fist Strength has increased from¡­]


    [Your Burst Speed has increased¡­]

 Chapter 43 - 41 Why is he a B rank when Im only a C rank?

    Chapter 43: Chapter 41 Why is he a B rank when I¡¯m only a C rank?


    Half an hour later.


    Li Yuan finally felt the rampaging, dominant, and scorching energy coursing through his body gradually fade away.


    ¡°Each time I take an Origin Power Essence Pill, my body undergoes noticeable changes,¡± Li Yuan mused inwardly. ¡°Today, my life level has actually improved by 0.1 level.¡±


    Feeling the amazing transformation of his body step by step was indeed exhilarating.


    ¡°In just over half an hour, my maximum fist strength has advanced further, reaching 732 kilograms?¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    The effects of the Origin Power Essence Pill had not been fully digested, but had become hidden within him.


    ...


    For the next ten days or so, Li Yuan would have to practice diligently to ensure his muscles and bones fully absorbed it, without wasting even a bit.


    ¡°I wonder if I can raise my physical quality to 7.9 levels before the January evaluation exams,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    From mid-October to now, over two months.


    It seemed his physical quality had only improved by 0.9 level, apparently the same speed as before taking the Origin Power Essence Pill.


    But the improvement of life levels is not linear, the further you go, the more astonishing the gap between each level.


    The standard for fist strength at physical quality level 6 is 300 kilograms.


    The standard for fist strength at physical quality level 7 is 450 kilograms.


    And the standard for fist strength at physical quality level 8 is 800 kilograms.


    In other words, in just over two months, Li Yuan¡¯s fist strength had increased by nearly 300 kilograms.


    ¡°Up to level 10 of physical quality, the gap from level 7 to level 8 is the largest, and the data indicators for various attributes almost double,¡± Li Yuan said to himself. ¡°Many students at Martial Arts University, if they do not awaken their Martial Spirit, might not even reach level 8 by the time they graduate.¡±


    Interacting with many Martial Artists at the hall gave Li Yuan more insight.


    Over eighty percent of Entry Rank Martial Artists have awakened their Martial Spirit.


    ¡°My improvement has been so quick.¡±


    ¡°The Origin Power Essence Pill has the greatest effect,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°The capacity of my body to endure and digest¡­ Although it¡¯s not as strong as what Teacher Xu said, digesting one every month, being able to digest one every twenty days is quite astonishing.¡±


    Over the past two months.


    Li Yuan had ingested four Origin Power Essence Pills.


    The cost was enormous, but its effects were outstanding.


    Without the Origin Power Essence Pills, just taking basic blood and energy potions, Li Yuan estimated his physical quality would now be around level 7.3 or 7.4.


    ¡°Teacher Xu wasn¡¯t wrong.¡±


    ¡°Once the physical quality is strong to a certain extent, it¡¯s not just about continuing to improve¡ªjust maintaining it is difficult,¡± Li Yuan suddenly swung his hand.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    His hand, like a blade, tore through the air.


    Since breaking through to life level 7.5, Li Yuan clearly felt the effects of the Origin Power Essence Pill weakening.


    Eating nutritional meals? Taking basic blood and energy potions? The effects were even weaker.


    Li Yuan could foresee.


    Once he became a Martial Artist, if he only ate nutritional meals and took basic blood and energy potions, it would be difficult to continue improving his physical quality.


    By then, the auxiliary effect of the Origin Power Essence Pill in cultivation would be reduced by more than half¡­ The more powerful the body, the more energy consumed in cultivation and combat.


    Continuous rapid improvement? Firstly, you need to use higher grade treasures, and secondly, your body has to be able to withstand it.


    ¡°Martial Spirit!¡±


    ¡°If I could practice high-rank cultivation methods, I would be able to directly absorb the Origin Power from the universe,¡± a flicker of light passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°No wonder, this parameter of Martial Spirit is considered so crucial by the Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    Practicing high-rank cultivation methods would greatly save on resources.


    Not just for the individual, but for the entire human civilization as well.


    Thinking of this.


    Li Yuan raised his smart ring to check the balance of his National Bank and Martial Hall accounts.


    Bank Balance: 1,125,124 Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 1,946,880


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 750,000


    ¡­


    At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, Li Yuan changed his clothes and left the Martial Arts Room, heading toward the elevator.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯re leaving now?¡±


    ¡°Uncle Wang.¡±


    ¡°Brother Liu.¡±


    Martial Artists greeted Li Yuan from time to time with enthusiasm, and he responded to each one.


    ¡°Li Yuan, heading back? Your brother and sister just went downstairs,¡± said a young man in an instructor¡¯s uniform with cropped hair, who happened to walk by and greeted Li Yuan with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, thanks, Brother Liu,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    The cropped-haired youth had just graduated from Martial Arts University and had not long become a Martial Artist. He was responsible for teaching the public free martial arts classes.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were both his students.


    As a result, he had a close relationship with Li Yuan.


    Over the past two months, in the Martial Artist circles of the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s Guanshan branch hall, basically everyone knew that Li Yuan was a B-level Martial Path talent signed in advance by the Martial Hall.


    A B-level contract indicated that the future was at least that of a level 16 Martial Artist with a certain chance of becoming a Prime Warrior. His potential was enormous.


    Furthermore, every time Instructor Xing, the head instructor, met Li Yuan, he was extremely enthusiastic and polite, let alone these ordinary Martial Artists and instructors?


    ¡°In the past, I was just an ordinary student. When I came to the Martial Hall building, I couldn¡¯t even get through the door, and no one would give me the time of day,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°Now? When Brother Liu points out something for Qian Qian and Muhua during their practice, he is more enthusiastic than when teaching other junior high students.¡±


    When one is powerful, everyone around becomes friendly and kind.


    ¡­The elevator doors opened, and as Li Yuan was about to enter, his gaze suddenly sharpened.


    There was a familiar face.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The girl standing in the elevator also seemed surprised.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue, long time no see,¡± Li Yuan greeted her cordially.


    A few months ago, their virtual match at school had caused quite a stir.


    But as time passed, Li Yuan had made no further moves, and with the increasing demands of their senior year studies, all the rumors had dissipated.


    Instead, the two would greet each other when they occasionally met at school.


    Today, Lin Lanyue wasn¡¯t wearing her Martial Arts uniform. Instead, she was in casual clothes, a cashmere long coat covering her upper body and a form-fitting turtleneck sweater underneath, showing off her fair, blush-tinged skin. She wore pale blue jeans that outlined her long and beautifully curved legs.


    The attire was markedly different from her usual student look.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what are you doing at the Martial Hall?¡± Lin Lanyue asked, slightly puzzled.


    ¡°Just some stuff,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, without going into detail.


    The fact that he had signed with Starfire Martial Hall ahead of time wasn¡¯t mentioned by either the principal or Teacher Xu Bo.


    It wasn¡¯t spread around the school at all.


    Li Yuan did not want to attract unnecessary attention with matters that brought him no advantage, so naturally, he wouldn¡¯t discuss them.


    ¡°Yue Yue, is this your classmate? I feel like I haven¡¯t seen him before.¡± A young woman in her thirties, clad in a mink coat, eyed him with a hint of wariness.


    She remembered Lin Lanyue rarely took initiative to greet male students.


    ¡°He¡¯s from Class 3 (2),¡± Lin Lanyue explained.


    ¡°Class 3 (2)?¡± The young woman frowned slightly.


    A student from a regular class?


    How did they get to know each other?


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is my aunt,¡± Lin Lanyue introduced him proactively.


    Lin Lanyue internally approved and admired Li Yuan for his prowess in Martial Arts Skills, having been beaten by him herself.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had never approached her again over the past few months, making Lin Lanyue realize that he was indeed different from those other boys who tried to pursue her.


    ¡°Hello, Auntie,¡± Li Yuan greeted her as it was natural to do so.


    The young woman was taken aback. Auntie?


    Do I really look that old?


    Ding~ The elevator doors opened.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got something else to do, so I¡¯ll be going now,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°See you at school later.¡±


    He stepped out of the elevator.


    ¡°See you at school,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded, then leisurely walked out of the elevator with the young woman.


    They weren¡¯t in a hurry to leave but watched Li Yuan walk away.


    ¡°Yue Yue, you should minimize contact with ordinary class boys in the future,¡± the young woman said with a frown.


    Lin Lanyue was momentarily startled, then she laughed and said, ¡°Auntie, do you remember when I was defeated on the Starry Skies Fighting Network last time?¡±


    ¡°Hmm? Xiao Qiang has mentioned it,¡± the young woman recalled. ¡°Was it him?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded, watching Li Yuan leaving. ¡°His Spear Technique is formidable; I¡¯m no match for him in virtual combat.¡±


    ¡°So what if his skills are strong?¡±


    ¡°Without a Martial Spirit, the best he can do is to get into Jiangbei Martial Arts University. Does he think he can get into one of the top five academies?¡± The young woman snorted.


    Lin Lanyue smiled and made no retort.


    She knew that her aunt¡¯s temperament was not to underestimate Li Yuan, but she was simply dissatisfied that Li Yuan had called her ¡®Auntie.¡¯


    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s Instructor Xing over there,¡± the young woman suddenly brightened up. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go and say hello.¡±


    ¡°Oh,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded.


    She seldom came to the Starfire Martial Hall and didn¡¯t really care about any instructor.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°That boy?¡± The young woman raised her eyebrows in confusion. ¡°Instructor Xing stopped to greet him?¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Lin Lanyue was also surprised and looked over.


    Not far away.


    Instructor Xing had stopped Li Yuan and was smiling as he talked with him, giving off the impression, to outsiders, more of a peer-to-peer exchange rather than a senior interacting with a junior.


    After a while.


    Instructor Xing waved as he saw Li Yuan out of the building and then moved towards the elevator.


    The young woman, dragging Lin Lanyue along, greeted him proactively.


    ¡°Instructor Xing,¡± the young woman said with a bright smile.


    ¡°Ms. You,¡± Instructor Xing recognized the young woman and smiled back. ¡°Are you here for physical therapy again today?¡±


    Instructor Xing looked at Lin Lanyue. ¡°You¡­ must be Hall Master Lin¡¯s daughter, Lin Lanyue, right?¡±


    ¡°You know me?¡± Lin Lanyue asked, surprised.


    ¡°I remember.¡±


    ¡°When Hall Master Lin was in Jiang City, I met you when you were a child,¡± Instructor Xing said with a smile. ¡°I was present at your school for an inspection last time, but there were too many people, so I didn¡¯t greet you.¡±


    ¡°Later on, our Martial Hall sent you a Class C contract invitation, which you didn¡¯t accept.¡±


    Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Her father was a member of Starry Sky Martial Hall, so naturally, she wouldn¡¯t accept an advance contract invitation from Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°Instructor Xing, that boy just now, who is he?¡± The young woman pointed at Li Yuan, who had just left the building.


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°You mean Li Yuan?¡± Instructor Xing looked back and said with a smile. ¡°He goes to the same school as Xiao Lin. Don¡¯t you know him?¡±


    ¡°Not really,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    ¡°He¡¯s a Class B contract member of our Martial Hall,¡± Instructor Xing said with a smile. ¡°This young man is quite outstanding.¡±


    ¡­


    Instructor Xing got into the elevator. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yue Yue.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re lying to me? Didn¡¯t you say he was from a regular class? How could he have a Class B contract with Starfire Martial Hall?¡±


    The young woman was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Lanyue with a skeptical expression: ¡°Is there something going on between you two? Otherwise, why would you lie to me?¡±


    ¡°Auntie, I really didn¡¯t lie to you,¡± Lin Lanyue said, her bright eyes also filled with confusion, and she asserted, ¡°Li Yuan really is from Class 3 (2).¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of someone who hasn¡¯t awakened their Martial Spirit securing a Class B contract in advance,¡± the young woman shook her head. ¡°Your grades are so good, and even on the last assessment, you just qualified for Class C.¡±


    Lin Lanyue was too lazy to respond to her aunt anymore; she lowered her head and frowned, lost in thought.


    Yeah, I¡¯m only Class C!


    Why would Li Yuan sign a Class B contract?

 Chapter 44 - 42: The wise man does not stand under a tottering wall

    Chapter 44: Chapter 42: The wise man does not stand under a tottering wall


    ¡°Could it be because his martial arts skills are high?¡±


    Lin Lanyue could only think of this possibility, then said, ¡°Auntie, let¡¯s go home. I have to do some problems when I get back.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± The young woman nodded, and as they walked, she looked at Lin Lanyue, ¡°Yue Yue, you really didn¡¯t know that Li Yuan signed with the Starfire Martial Hall early?¡±


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t know.¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask him about it later? A Grade B contract, the Martial Hall only has two or three slots each year.¡± The young woman said curiously, ¡°It seems you have a good relationship with him.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t ask.¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head decisively, ¡°If he doesn¡¯t say it himself, there must be a reason he¡¯s keeping quiet.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Right, don¡¯t talk about this in the parent¡¯s group chat, and definitely don¡¯t use it as gossip material,¡± Lin Lanyue warned her aunt with a glance.


    She knew her aunt was quite the blabbermouth.


    ¡°Sure.¡± The young woman replied noncommittally.


    ¡°I¡¯m serious,¡± Lin Lanyue said sternly, ¡°otherwise, I won¡¯t help you with the card later.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, my little ancestor, I promise not to blurt it out,¡± the woman in the mink coat surrendered immediately with a wave of her hands.


    ¡­


    When Li Yuan was taking his younger brother and sister home in the Martial Hall¡¯s designated car.


    In the twelfth-floor office of the Martial Hall¡¯s building, decorated in a simple style.


    ¡°Hall Master.¡±


    Coach Xing entered through the door.


    In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a middle-aged man in traditional Chinese garb stood with his back to the door, looking down at the night view outside.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Lord Wan asked without turning around, his voice very calm.


    ¡°I asked, and I also pulled the data from the testing equipment in various martial arts rooms. The six members who signed ahead of time all performed well,¡± Coach Xing reported respectfully, ¡°The one who performed the best and made the most progress should be Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°According to Fang Longhu, Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality should be close to Level 8; his skill level has even approached the perfection of the Third Stage,¡± said Coach Xing, ¡°Compared to two months ago, his progress is astonishing.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°So, the progress is quite rapid.¡± It was then that Lord Wan turned around, smiling, ¡°Coach Xing, what do you think?¡±


    ¡°Hall Master has discerning eyes,¡± Coach Xing replied, bowing his head.


    ¡°Old Xing, relax, don¡¯t worry that I have any schemes,¡± Lord Wan said with a smile, ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking. In your heart, based on Li Yuan¡¯s current performance, he would barely qualify for a Grade C contract, right?¡±


    ¡°Subordinate wouldn¡¯t dare,¡± Coach Xing replied hurriedly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Lord Wan laughed, ¡°I have my reasons for giving him a Grade B contract. You just keep track of the data.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± said Coach Xing.


    But inside, he muttered to himself, it doesn¡¯t matter since you¡¯re the Hall Master. As long as you don¡¯t blame me later, you decide how to proceed.


    After Coach Xing had left.


    ¡°The person recommended by Tie Ta is indeed not bad,¡± Lord Wan sighed inwardly, ¡°but if in the end he cannot awaken the Martial Spirit, his development after level 10 might be somewhat difficult¡­¡±


    He shook his head gently, then pushed the thought aside.


    The early signing of martial arts prodigies was just a small part of his duties, requiring his attention once a month.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°Beep beep¡ªalert¡ª¡± A voice suddenly sounded in the office.


    Hum~


    Red lights started flashing on Lord Wan¡¯s smart ring, changing his expression instantly as he checked the message, ¡°Star Realm creatures? At least nine of the First Rank, with the strongest nearing the Second Rank? Appeared in the area from Southeast Lake to Binhu Road, causing at least thirty-five deaths?¡±


    ¡°Could it be remnants from the last sweep along the Xiang River basin?¡± Lord Wan thought immediately of the previous operation.


    Each martial artist was registered with the Martial Arts Hall.


    Their identity information was bound to their smart rings.


    Whenever Star Realm creatures appeared and were detected by Xia Country¡¯s ¡®Sky Net¡¯ system, the first to be informed would be the nearby martial artists, requesting assistance.


    As a Prime Warrior, Lord Wan¡¯s smart ring had a maximum sensing range of 100 kilometers.


    That is, any Star Realm creatures of Entry Rank discovered within a 100-kilometer radius would send a notification to him.


    Without hesitation.


    ¡°Dahe, send a message immediately to the combat-ready martial artists of the Martial Hall. First and Second Teams, deploy, coordinate with the military for a kill and containment,¡± Lord Wan issued orders one after another, ¡°Bring me my weapon.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the voice of the assistant AI echoed in the office.


    One of the important duties of the Martial Hall was to protect the local residents.


    Each basic level Martial Hall had martial artist squads on combat-ready duty, able to deploy at any time.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two furniture robots dashed out from the nearby weapons room, one carrying a shield and the other a combat saber.


    Lord Wan grabbed the shield and saber, then gently pressed a metallic button on his chest.


    Immediately.


    Before the naked eye, the previously loose-fitting traditional Chinese attire transformed rapidly into a thin layer of metallic battle garment that completely covered his body, with the entire garment black in color.


    It radiated a sense of coolness and oppression.


    ¡°Master, the single-person flying vehicle has arrived,¡± the intelligent voice rang out. ¡°Should I open the window?¡±


    ¡°Open the window,¡± Lord Wan commanded coldly.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The floor-to-ceiling window that was originally closed quickly opened outward, fully exposing the interior to the elements and allowing gusts of wind to blow into the office.


    Whoosh!


    With a faint exertion of force in one leg, Lord Wan¡¯s figure shot out, traversing dozens of meters in a lateral movement, tracing an arc through the air like a cannonball plummeting towards the ground.


    This building was twelve stories high¡ªover forty meters above the ground!


    Boom!


    A booming sound filled the air as a single-person flying vehicle resembling an assault boat whizzed past at an incredibly low altitude and at a breathtaking speed.


    Precisely timed, it caught Lord Wan in mid-air.


    The flying vehicle soared into the sky, reaching about a hundred meters above the ground, and rushed toward the scene of the incident at top speed.


    ¡­


    The next day, after training for the entire night, Li Yuan stepped out of his home leisurely just after four in the morning.


    Walking on the street.


    In the winter, it was still pitch dark around five in the morning, with a light drizzle falling, making the ground slippery.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan had just left his residential complex when he sensed something amiss¡ªhe saw an armed military patrol in the distance.


    Along with two patrolling soldiers.


    Occasionally, unmanned aerial vehicles flew by overhead, conducting surveillance patrols.


    The security was extremely tight.


    ¡°Is this a manhunt for fugitives? No, could it be¡­¡± Li Yuan instantly thought of a possibility.


    Without a moment¡¯s hesitation,


    he immediately opened his smart wristband, clicked into an app ¡®Star Realm Creatures Alert¡¯, and the location was directly marked as Jiang City¡¯s Guan Mountain District.


    His eyes scanned the dozens of alert messages that had been posted in succession.


    ¡°Could it really be Star Realm creatures? Daring to show up in Jiang City?¡± Li Yuan thought in shock, ¡°But according to the news, so far, there have been dozens of casualties?¡±


    ¡°Over thirty Star Realm Creatures have also been killed.¡±


    ¡°And now, suspected Star Realm creatures are still at large, and the entire Guan Mountain District is under martial law, with a comprehensive manhunt underway?¡±


    After a moment¡¯s thought,


    Li Yuan turned around.


    He went back upstairs, to his home.


    ¡°Though there are military vehicles and drones on the streets, appearing to offer safety, walking alone like this is too conspicuous,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Binhu Road is less than ten kilometers from here.¡±


    ¡°Bad luck on the road, and I might really encounter a fleeing Star Realm creature.¡±


    ¡°At home,¡±


    ¡°There are alert systems overhead and underground in the residential area, the buildings and doors and windows are reinforced, and the stairwells require facial recognition for entry¡ªhome is very safe,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The chances are slim, but it¡¯s still not worth the risk.¡±


    Yes!


    As an elite student, Li Yuan¡¯s martial prowess was stronger than most adults¡­ but against firearms, they were in vain, not to mention Star Realm creatures?


    The wise do not stand under a wall that is in danger of collapsing.


    This was something Uncle Li Changzhou had always taught Li Yuan since he was little.


    Similarly,


    From an early age, all students were taught the rule: if you lack the strength of a Martial Artist, scatter and run at the sight of Star Realm creatures! Call for help immediately and report to the authorities at once!


    In fact,


    All Martial Artists received the same warning: without the strength of a Prime Warrior, do not engage a Star Realm creature alone lightly, wait for heavy weapons! Wait for attack drones and combat robots!


    ¡­


    Back at home, Li Yuan was not too panicked.


    Instead, he opened the door to his room.


    Then, in his bedroom, he stood in quiet contemplation, practicing his punches and training in the Basic Cultivation Method.


    Ever since he could remember,


    Jiang City, where Li Yuan lived, suffered attacks from Star Realm creatures every half a year or so, sometimes even less.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped.


    Jiang City, with its convergence of large rivers and many lakes and its extensive water system, was one of the cities within Xia Country most frequently attacked by Star Realm creatures.


    Most of these attacks were small in scale, and it was best to calmly wait for the military and Martial Artists to clear the threat.


    As for large-scale attacks? Li Yuan had only experienced one when he was very young, and his memories of it were quite vague.


    Soon, it was past six in the morning.


    ¡°The alert has been lifted?¡± Li Yuan received a message notification on his smart wristband.

 Chapter 46 - 44 Two Hall Masters

    Chapter 46: Chapter 44 Two Hall Masters


    ¡°`


    In this era, material science had advanced, so even a metallic hollow stick had great strength and toughness.


    Most importantly, this member of the Fish Spirit Clan had a Physical Quality of only 10.2 levels, just at Entry Rank. Although their bones and muscles were tough, they weren¡¯t yet immune to common weapons.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Bang~¡± ¡°Bang~¡± Li Yuan swung down the first two strikes like lightning, both wielded one-handed with the flow.


    With two consecutive, precise, heavy strikes, he caved in the skull of the Fish Spirit Clan member, blood spurting out.


    ...


    They lay completely horizontal on the ground, their slender body still twitching.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t stop; he knew well the importance of a finishing move.


    The third strike was now a two-handed grip, the most suitable position for exerting force with a heavy stick.


    There are many similarities in the force application between spear technique and stick technique.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s vigor burst forth instantly, calmly unleashing the ¡°Stable as Earth¡±, with the stick head chopping down like the head of a spear.


    ¡°Splat~Bang!!!¡±


    Over a thousand kilograms of terrifying force erupted, striking precisely the same spot as before¡­ and completely burst open like a watermelon.


    Blood and fluids splashed widely, scales scattered about, some of the blood even splashing onto Li Yuan himself.


    The body of the Fish Spirit Clan member was no longer moving.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan gripped the long stick tightly in his hand, still not daring to relax, watching the Fish Spirit Clan member before him: ¡°This time, it should be over, right?¡±


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s first life-or-death battle.


    But with thousands of life-or-death struggles in the virtual network, as well as numerous practical exercises with Fang Longhu.


    Especially the daily trials of pain from the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡±.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart had long become incredibly tough.


    Spear technique, movement technique, combat instincts in the face of life and death had unknowingly become ingrained deep within Li Yuan¡¯s bones.


    ¡°I, Li Yuan, can kill Star Realm Creatures one-on-one?¡± Li Yuan took a deep breath, hands gripping the metallic long stick even tighter.


    In his heart, an inexplicable emotion arose.


    It was as if he had gone through a major event in life, a purification of the soul.


    Sometimes, certain transformations in life come unexpectedly, impossible for anyone to anticipate.


    All one can do is prepare well in advance.


    Clearly, through years of practicing the Martial Path, Li Yuan was internally and physically ready for a life-and-death struggle; he had indeed given a satisfactory answer to himself.


    No cowardice! No fear!


    Only courage, decisiveness, and caution.


    He stepped back five paces.


    Li Yuan still faced in the direction of the Fish Spirit Clan¡¯s corpse, while his peripheral vision scanned all around, remaining alert for any sudden appearance of Star Realm Creatures.


    ¡°Young man, are you a Martial Artist?¡± The noodle shop owner, holding a kitchen knife, watched Li Yuan with utter shock.


    He had never expected that the youth he often saw in the mornings could be so formidable.


    In just two encounters.


    The strong and fierce Star Realm Creature was brought down, seemingly lifeless now. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Instinctively, the noodle shop owner thought the youth must be a Martial Artist.


    In his understanding, in close combat with cold weapons, only a Martial Artist could defeat Star Realm Creatures.


    ¡°Not a Martial Artist.¡± Li Yuan responded.


    ¡°Then you?¡± The noodle shop owner swallowed hard, about to say something.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Rustle~¡± From the alley from before, two small figures darted out abruptly; Li Yuan¡¯s pupils slightly contracted, followed by a moment of relaxation.


    They were two small combat robots, less than half a meter in height, shaped like large spiders, quite compact, equipped with gun barrels.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡±


    The two combat robots scanned their surroundings and quickly gathered around the corpse of the Fish Spirit Clan, projecting red beams, seemingly scanning.


    Li Yuan stepped further back and completely relaxed.


    He could tell that the gunshot wounds on the leading Fish Spirit Clan member were most likely inflicted by the combat robots during pursuit.


    In the whole of Jiang City, there were countless such combat robots, large and small.


    Apart from a few extremely powerful Star Realm Creatures, most Star Realm Creatures could be annihilated by the combined forces of combat robots and unmanned fighting drones.


    ¡°Now, should I leave?¡± A thought just arose in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The next moment.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± There was a sudden roar of explosions in the sky; Li Yuan instantly looked up, and two flying vehicles shaped like assault boats appeared in his vision.


    In today¡¯s cities, the tallest buildings do not exceed 12 floors, so flying vehicles operating dozens of meters above the ground are quite safe.


    ¡°Single-person flyers?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    Before the flyers landed.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡±


    Two figures clad in black battle garments had already jumped down from the flying vehicles.


    Like phantoms, their speed terrifyingly fast, yet when they touched the ground, they were incredibly agile and nimble, not causing any breakage on the surface.


    Effortlessly.


    They then came walking directly towards him.


    ¡°`


    ¡°At least thirty meters, jumped right down?¡± Li Yuan held his breath as he watched the two approaching figures.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, the most he could do was jump down from five meters, and even then he¡¯d have to roll to unload the force to ensure he wouldn¡¯t get injured.


    The two martial artists only showed their eyes, with the rest of their bodies completely wrapped in black battle garments.


    The invisible aura they emitted, however, caused Li Yuan¡¯s heart to race, prompting him to instinctively activate the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    [Target person, Life Level exceeds sensory limit (Current Life Level sensory limit is 17.8)]


    Both individuals exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s sensory limit, which further drained his spirit.


    ¡°We were hunting down that Second Rank leader, and missed this little guy, who is actually dead?¡± The battle garment on one figure¡¯s head contracted, revealing a large bald head.


    It was a bald man, his features as if chiseled with a knife and ax.


    The other, comparatively frail figure, also saw his battle garment contract to reveal a face, and it turned out to be a brown curly-haired woman, looking to be about thirty years old, with an exotic charm.


    ¡°Foreign martial artists?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°Young man, I am a bona fide citizen of Xia Country,¡± the brown curly-haired woman spoke fluently in Mandarin and laughed, ¡°My family has been naturalized since my great-grandfather¡¯s generation.¡±


    Li Yuan fell silent, realizing that high rank martial artists do indeed have excellent hearing.


    ¡°Kid, the combat robot told me you killed this Star Realm creature? Are you a student from Martial Arts University?¡± The bald man approached Li Yuan, inquiring as he opened his smart ring: ¡°Let me check the nearby surveillance.¡±


    ¡°I killed it,¡± Li Yuan said directly. ¡°Senior year, from the first high school in Guanshan.¡±


    The bald man didn¡¯t respond, turning to look at the holographic projection and began to check the surveillance.


    The brown curly-haired woman also looked on.


    Less than ten seconds passed.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°What? This stick technique? No, it looks like spear technique!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s spear technique.¡± Both powerful martial artists showed surprise and couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    They had initially thought that the Fish Spirit Clan member had been gravely injured nearly to death and thus fell to Li Yuan as an easy target.


    Only after viewing the surveillance did they discover¡­ the Fish Spirit Clan member had indeed been injured but still retained most of its strength.


    And Li Yuan, in a single encounter, punctured the creature¡¯s eyes with a metal pipe.


    He then proceeded to smash its head with ferocity.


    This strength, this ferocity.


    Both the bald man and the brown curly-haired woman were taken aback.


    A high school senior? Since when had high school students become so formidable?


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± the bald man looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Li Yuan replied.


    ¡°Li Yuan? Would you be interested in signing a contract with my Starry Sky Martial Hall?¡± The bald man revealed a smile which he assumed was kind, ¡°I¡¯m ¡®Lu Huai¡¯, the Hall Master of the Guanshan branch of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.¡±


    Li Yuan was startled.


    This bald man was a Hall Master, his position possibly comparable to that of Lord Wan?


    He must be a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Good to meet you, Hall Master Lu,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve already signed a pre-contract with the Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    After thinking, Li Yuan added, ¡°A B-level contract.¡±


    ¡°Starfire Martial Hall? A B-level contract?¡± The bald man was taken aback, ¡°I haven¡¯t heard of this, have I?¡±


    ¡°A B-level contract? Li Yuan, from the first high school?¡± The brown curly-haired woman¡¯s eyes lit up as she teased the bald man with a wink, ¡°Oh Lu, I remember now.¡±


    ¡°Last month, Xing Zixuan mentioned to me once that Lord Wan signed a B-level contract with a high school student.¡±


    ¡°Supposedly, it was poached from your Starry Sky Martial Hall, must be him.¡±


    ¡°I was intending to ask Lord Wan at the end-of-year meeting.¡± The brown curly-haired woman smiled indulgently at Li Yuan, ¡°No need to ask now, your courage for taking initiative, facing danger fearlessly, and your spear technique that¡¯s close to the Fourth Level is enough to justify a B-level contract.¡±


    Li Yuan grew increasingly confused as he listened.


    But he vaguely sensed that the brown curly-haired woman seemed quite familiar with Lord Wan.


    ¡°Poached by my Starry Sky Martial Hall? I wasn¡¯t aware,¡± Lu Huai, the bald man, frowned slightly.


    He looked at Li Yuan unconsciously.


    ¡°Don¡¯t stare at Li Yuan. Don¡¯t scare our little guy from the Martial Hall,¡± the brown curly-haired woman glared at the bald man, ¡°If you want to know, go ask your people at the Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t ask him anymore,¡± the bald man shook his head in resignation.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Come, let¡¯s take a photo, sign your name,¡± the brown curly-haired woman smiled at Li Yuan while opening her smart ring: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll report your deed of killing the Star Realm creature soon, and then notify your school. I¡¯ll strive to get you an honorary title and a reward.¡±


    ¡°I appreciate it, senior,¡± Li Yuan was still somewhat dazed, but let her lead.


    He quickly took a photo with the corpse of the Star Realm creature.


    And signed his name on the light screen of the woman¡¯s ring.


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me a senior, my last name is Zuo.¡± The brown curly-haired woman looked at Li Yuan: ¡°I¡¯m the Vice Hall Master of the Guanshan branch of the Starfire Martial Hall, in charge of battle readiness patrols and retrieving Star Realm creatures.¡±


    ¡°Vice Hall Master Zuo?¡± Li Yuan was slightly startled.


    He had heard other martial artists from the Starfire Martial Hall speak of her before, but he hadn¡¯t paid much attention and didn¡¯t look up her information previously.


    ¡°You know me?¡± Vice Hall Master Zuo smiled at Li Yuan, ¡°Killing a Star Realm creature must be a first for you, right? Do you want to take a day off and rest at home?¡±


    Killing a Star Realm creature for the first time, especially one of a humanoid species, could make many people nervous or even lead to psychological barriers.


    ¡°No need to take leave.¡±


    ¡°Vice Hall Master Zuo, I should go to school,¡± Li Yuan said seriously. ¡°I still have classes today.¡±


    ¡°School?¡± Vice Hall Master Zuo was surprised, then she smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡±

 Chapter 47 - 45 This world has never been peaceful

    Chapter 47: Chapter 45 This world has never been peaceful


    Li Yuan refused the Left Hall Master¡¯s kind offer and, after a few more words, set off for school alone.


    However.


    Perhaps to protect Li Yuan, the Left Hall Master ordered two spider combat robots to follow him all the way, only leaving his side as he was about to enter the school.


    As for the school¡¯s interior? In large cities nowadays, places like schools, research institutes, government buildings, and mega-malls are all stationed with combat robots.


    There are also numerous combat robots patrolling along the streets and through the residential areas.


    This is precisely why, despite some casualties, small-scale Star Realm Creature attacks are quickly exterminated once they are detected, and they hardly ever cause any significant commotion.


    ...


    This has become the urban defense system gradually established over the past hundred years, accompanied by the advancement of human civilization¡¯s technology and the accumulation of experience.


    Entering the school, it was nearly seven.


    Li Yuan headed straight for the cafeteria.


    Despite the turmoil outside, it didn¡¯t affect the cooks from preparing the meals on time.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, over here.¡± Zhou Qi called out to Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan bought soy milk and two bowls of hot dry noodles and sat down with his classmates.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve noticed that you¡¯ve been arriving later and later these days,¡± L¨« Tianyou said while taking big bites of his food.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because of the Star Realm Creature attack warnings? I only came out after the alerts were lifted,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the same?¡±


    ¡°I also waited for the alert to be lifted.¡±


    ¡°My dad drove me to school, afraid of running into danger,¡± others chimed in. ¡°I heard that last night, a lot of people died on Binhu Road.¡±


    ¡°Sigh!¡±


    ¡°Hopefully none from our school.¡±


    While his classmates sighed over a Star Realm Creature attack that caused dozens of casualties, happening right in Guan Mountain District, they have also grown somewhat accustomed to it.


    The frequency was just too high.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± L¨« Tianyou said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s not just today, but for the past two months you¡¯ve often arrived later in the morning than even me.¡±


    ¡°Are you slacking off a bit?¡±


    ¡°Tired of studying, huh?¡± Li Yuan replied jokingly. ¡°You¡¯re the real study bug of our class.¡±


    Ever since signing with Starfire Martial Hall and learning two Second Rank secret manuals, Li Yuan often practiced his Spear Technique and movement technique late into the night in the virtual internet.


    Therefore, he no longer arrived at school before five every day, and occasionally it would even be past six.


    ¡°Tianyou, who do you think you are, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than donkeys?¡± Zhou Qi teased. ¡°Look at you, you¡¯ve become thinner than when school started. Take it easy.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, Tianyou, you¡¯re pushing yourself too hard. Remember to eat more vitality and blood potions. In Martial Arts Cultivation, that¡¯s an expense you can¡¯t skimp on,¡± Yan Zhou added.


    ¡°Yes, I know,¡± L¨« Tianyou replied softly, his head lowered as he ate.


    Li Yuan casually glanced at L¨« Tianyou.


    He could clearly see the Physical Quality Level of the other party¡­L¨« Tianyou¡¯s training was indeed intense, but his physical quality hadn¡¯t improved much.


    It was clear his nutrition was lagging behind.


    Li Yuan would occasionally give a side comment or two, but L¨« Tianyou only took it to heart in words¡­after enough times, Li Yuan chose to stay silent.


    Each person has their own fate, and one can only be responsible for oneself.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, the January exams are coming up soon, and there¡¯ll be another Spiritual Aptitude Test,¡± Zhou Qi said, putting down his cutlery. ¡°What do you think about it?¡±


    ¡°Spiritual Aptitude Test?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback, soon shaking his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    The other students had already begun discussing it.


    The Spiritual Aptitude Test adds 10% to the total score of the Martial Arts exam, which is enough to change one¡¯s destiny and potentially allow students with no previous hope for Martial Arts University to reach its gates¡­


    In this era, unless one¡¯s cultural exam scores could challenge the top universities, most students are well aware that the path of the Martial Path holds more promise than that of cultural studies.


    It¡¯s just that Martial Arts University is extremely hard to get into.


    ¡°[You have slain an Entry Rank creature and obtained Spiritual Nutrients, achieving a Spiritual Awakening Level of 0.6%]¡± Li Yuan quickly finished his breakfast and was engrossed in the recent message that appeared on his Mind Spirit Divine Palace panel.


    This notification.


    He received it after killing a member of the Fish Spirit Clan, and it even brought changes to the Divine Palace panel.

    [Note: When the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, you will gradually receive Spiritual Guidance.]


    ¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Spiritual Awakening Level, what is that?¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°Is it related to how well-aligned it is with High Rank Cultivation Methods?¡±


    The Divine Palace panel did not offer an explanation.


    Or rather, ever since he became aware of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan had hardly received any explanations.


    Most of his understanding came from his own interpretations.


    ¡°Judging by the last sentence on the Divine Palace panel, if my Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, will I receive Spiritual Guidance?¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°But my current limit can only reach 20%.¡±


    What is Spiritual Guidance? Li Yuan wasn¡¯t sure.


    However, Li Yuan had a hunch that the high-level Spiritual Nature shown on the Divine Palace panel, and the Martial Spirit valued by human civilization, didn¡¯t seem to be the same concept.


    ¡°If I want to increase the Spiritual Awakening Level.¡± Li Yuan thought reflectively, ¡°Do I have to kill Entry Rank Star Realm Creatures? To obtain Spiritual Nourishment?¡±


    ¡°Nourishment, is it to nurture my own Spiritual Nature?¡±


    With only one example, Li Yuan had no way to verify his guess.


    Nevertheless.


    With a Spiritual Awakening Level of 0.6%, Li Yuan felt as if he hadn¡¯t changed at all.


    ¡°Most likely, I need to raise the awakening level to 25% before any significant change occurs, and maybe I will receive benefits similar to the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯.¡± Li Yuan also held a sliver of hope in his heart, ¡°But how do I increase the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening from 20% to 25%?¡±


    ¡°Physical Quality? Or is it spiritual power?¡±


    ¡°Or is it a breakthrough in Martial Arts Skills?¡±


    Li Yuan knew nothing.


    ¡­


    Regarding changes on the Divine Palace panel.


    After pondering without result, Li Yuan decisively ignored it.


    Up to this point, the Divine Palace panel had only recorded his Martial Arts Cultivation, it had never directly increased his strength¡­ power still had to be obtained through Li Yuan¡¯s step-by-step cultivation.


    ¡°Regardless of what Spiritual Awakening is.¡±


    ¡°For now, I¡¯ll follow the set routine for cultivation, and maybe I¡¯ll understand when I am stronger,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Conducting experiments by killing Star Realm Creatures? Li Yuan dismissed this idea instantly.


    This time, the killing of the Fish Spirit Clan was partly because of Li Yuan¡¯s strength and partly because of luck, as the enemy was injured.


    If he encounters an uninjured Entry Rank Star Realm Creature, even just level 11 or 12, Li Yuan would almost certainly lose, given their absolute advantage in Physical Quality.


    Moreover.


    Even if Li Yuan wanted to kill, where would he go?


    ¡°No rush, I¡¯ll think of a way when the upper limit reaches 25%,¡± Li Yuan was very calm.


    ¡­


    ¡°I have a piece of bad news to share with everyone.¡±


    ¡°Last night, the Star Realm Creatures attacked, and one student from both Senior Year 2, Class 16 and Senior Year 3, Class 8 has been confirmed dead,¡± the cultural class head teacher, Mr. Chen, stood at the lectern and announced solemnly.


    Silence fell over the room.


    Even a few students who had been whispering stopped.


    It wasn¡¯t the first time, and those who passed weren¡¯t classmates¡­ but belonging to the same school was enough to touch all the students.


    ¡°Star Realm Creatures,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze sharpened as he subconsciously clenched his fists.


    Since childhood, almost everyone had lost friends and classmates to such incidents.


    ¡°The school will initiate a fundraising activity. The supervisory account has been published on the school¡¯s website,¡± continued Mr. Chen, ¡°The amount is not tallied, donor names will not be disclosed, no third parties are involved, and after the deadline, the funds will be directly transferred to the families of the two students.¡±


    ¡°Please donate according to your own situation, there is no obligation.¡±


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue with the lesson.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, look at the second-to-last major problem. This question is a popular type this year and is definitely going to appear in the college entrance exam. I have explained it many times, and many students are still getting it wrong. Today I will explain it one last time, it¡¯s fifteen points I¡¯m giving you, so listen carefully¡­¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°About this Star Realm Creature attack.¡±


    ¡°The two students who passed away.¡± Inside the Martial Arts classroom, the teacher Xu Bo, stood like a tower, his voice resounding like a bell, ¡°I hope you understand.¡±


    ¡°This world has never been peaceful.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t expect all of you to get into Martial Arts University, nor do I force you to join the army and go to the frontline, but I hope you don¡¯t slack off in your Martial Path.¡±


    ¡°Be a little stronger.¡±


    ¡°In the future, if you encounter similar dangers, the hope of surviving will be a bit greater.¡±


    ¡­


    The Star Realm Creature attack in Jiang City ultimately left eighty-six people dead.


    But it didn¡¯t cause much of an uproar, and it didn¡¯t even stay on the hot search list of Xia Country¡¯s virtual networks for a full day.


    Because.


    At the Rob Sea, another unprecedentedly large battle erupted anew, with Star Realm Creatures attacking like a tide, and in just one day, the military reported over three thousand deaths¡­


    ¡­


    January 3, 2043, Jiang City, the January Mock Exam for Senior Year 3, was held as scheduled.

 Chapter 48 - 46 January Adjustment Exam (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 48: Chapter 46 January Adjustment Exam (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)


    The mid-year exam in January lasted for three days.


    From the first day to the second day¡¯s morning, cultural subject exams were conducted, and in the afternoon of the second day, the ¡°Spiritual Aptitude Test¡± took place.


    The Martial Dao Assessment was scheduled for the third day.


    ¡­Li Yuan did not disrupt his cultivation plan because of the exam; he still arrived at school a little after four as usual to practice the Basic Cultivation Method.


    At seven o¡¯clock, after showering in the Martial Arts Room, he hurried to the canteen for breakfast.


    Then he rushed to the examination venue with Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, and the others.


    ...


    The January mid-year exam was one of the two most important large-scale standardized tests before the college entrance exam; both the Education Bureau and the schools took it extremely seriously.


    All the standards were strictly modeled after the college entrance exam requirements, such as not being able to bring smart rings and other devices into the exam halls, among various other checks¡­ The 20 classes were divided into 40 exam venues in total.


    The seating arrangement in the cultural exam halls was determined by the rankings from the last major exam¡¯s cultural subjects.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, we¡¯re heading upstairs,¡± Zhou Qi waved, laughing.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, do well in the exam; we¡¯ll be waiting for you upstairs.¡±


    A group of classmates teased Li Yuan as they went up, where higher floors signified higher rankings.


    ¡°These guys,¡± Li Yuan shook his head with a smile.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan glanced at the admission ticket in Li Tianyou¡¯s hand and smiled, ¡°Tianyou, I¡¯m in exam room 29, and you¡¯re only in room 33, huh? Do well, I¡¯ll be waiting for you upstairs.¡±


    With that, Li Yuan too ascended the stairs.


    Leaving behind a disheveled Li Tianyou.


    ¡­Students in exam room 29 belong to the lower-middle ranks in terms of cultural subjects at Guan Mountain District¡¯s top high school.


    However, as a key high school, even students from exam room 35 have hopes of being admitted into a first-tier university specializing in cultural studies.


    After sitting down, Li Yuan looked around and saw many familiar faces.


    Apart from classmates from his own class, it seemed that quite a few were from the Elite Class.


    Students of the Martial Arts Elite Class generally didn¡¯t score high on cultural subjects.


    Energy is limited for everyone; without investment, it¡¯s hard to achieve good returns.


    ¡°Gu Qianghan, you¡¯re here too?¡± Li Yuan smiled at the person next to him.


    ¡°Just call me Gu Qiang,¡± the handsome youth responded stubbornly.


    ¡°Alright, Xiao Qiang,¡± Li Yuan laughed, ¡°I remember your sister called you by that name a few days ago.¡±


    Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan often encountered each other as they both had private Martial Arts Rooms on the fourth floor of the Elite building.


    The handsome young man glared and stood, as if he wanted to dispute this with Li Yuan.


    ¡°The invigilator is here, your homeroom teacher,¡± Li Yuan pointed towards the distance, sitting upright.


    The young man quickly sat down and turned his head, finding no one; annoyed, he turned back to Li Yuan, ¡°You fooled me.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s really here this time,¡± Li Yuan said seriously, ¡°Your homeroom teacher.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you,¡± Gu Qianghan showed Li Yuan the middle finger, his face filled with contempt.


    ¡°Gu Qianghan!¡±


    ¡°Sit down! The test papers are about to be distributed!¡± A stern voice suddenly exploded from the entrance of the classroom; Gu Qianghan shivered and immediately bent his head and sat down.


    The homeroom teacher of the senior year Martial Arts Elite class was a female Martial Artist.


    At Guan Mountain District¡¯s top high school, she and Xu Bo were known as the ¡®Cultural Martial Asuras¡¯.


    ¡­


    The cultural subject exams that lasted a day and a half were uneventful for Li Yuan.


    For over a year, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had steadily increased, making it extremely easy for him to memorize rote learning material.


    However, an increase in spiritual power did not directly translate to an increase in intelligence, and since he spent very little time on cultural subjects¡­ Li Yuan was clear-headed about this.


    ¡°People like Zhou Qi, with their good academic performance and the amount of time they spend studying.¡±


    ¡°My ranking in cultural subjects should improve slightly compared to the last exam¡­ but I¡¯m not expecting a dramatic change,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Just do my best.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    After finishing the cultural subjects exam, all the students returned to their classrooms where many began comparing their answers.


    ¡°What was the answer to the last multiple-choice question in math? Was it B?¡± a conspicuous student eagerly asked.


    ¡°It should be C,¡± replied a student who normally scored nearly perfect on math.


    ¡°But I guessed randomly, so maybe I¡¯m the one who¡¯s wrong,¡± the math prodigy added.


    ¡°Damn, I initially calculated C, but then changed it to B¡­ I feel like I won¡¯t score over 150 in math again,¡± the conspicuous student said, frustrated.


    With a total of 200 points, math was the most significant subject.


    In the midst of the noisy discussions,


    Li Yuan sat at his desk, lost in thought.


    He never compared answers.


    Not out of confidence, but indifference.


    Cultural subjects totaled 1000 points, but if one chose to apply to Martial Arts University, the cultural score would be converted to 100 points, accounting for only 10%.


    For Li Yuan, there was only a 10-point difference on the total score between scoring 700 and 800 in cultural subjects.


    But the amount of effort required was vastly different.


    ¡°According to tradition, the difficulty of the January mid-year exam is higher than that of the college entrance exam,¡± Li Yuan calculated silently, ¡°This time, I should¡¯ve got all the basic points; scoring over 650 in cultural subjects would mean success.¡±


    Suddenly.


    Chen, the homeroom teacher of the cultural class, entered the room with a stern expression, ¡°Everyone sit down; we have the schedule for the Spiritual Aptitude Test. Our class starts at 2 PM; we¡¯re the first to be tested.¡±


    The senior year (1) class was the Elite Class and had all awakened their Martial Spirit, so there was no need for retesting.


    The senior year (2) class was the first one to be tested.


    ¡°After the test, we¡¯ll have self-study,¡± Chen instructed, then left the class.


    ¡°The Spiritual Aptitude Test! It¡¯s coming again.¡±


    ¡°I wonder if I can change my fate.¡±


    ¡°Stop dreaming.¡±


    ¡°Wake up, it¡¯s senior year; I¡¯m not peeing yellow enough to sprinkle you,¡± the students once again began discussing among themselves.


    Many top cultural class students had already silently taken out their books to resume studying.


    If choosing the cultural path, even if one awakened the Martial Spirit, it wouldn¡¯t grant any extra credit.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, your physical quality seems to have surpassed level 7.0; you must have awakened,¡± Zhou Qi said cheerfully.


    ¡°Maybe,¡± Li Yuan replied thoughtfully.


    He wasn¡¯t certain if a 0.6% Spiritual Awakening Level would bring any change.


    ¡­


    An hour and a half later.


    ¡°I¡¯ve awakened the Martial Spirit?¡± Zhou Qi walked out of the testing room, both shocked and baffled, staring at his test result in disbelief.


    This caught the attention of the surrounding classmates.


    ¡°Zhou Qi, he has actually awakened?¡±


    ¡°This?¡± A buzz of discussion arose, almost all the students found it unbelievable.


    Zhou Qi¡¯s Martial Path grades in class were known to be among the lowest.


    ¡°Zhou Qi has awakened?¡± Li Yuan cracked a slight smile, glancing at the ¡®unawakened¡¯ marked on his own test slip.


    He had anticipated his own lack of awakening, as the Divine Palace panel had basically explained.


    But how could Zhou Qi¡¯s compatibility with high-rank cultivation methods exceed 85% in the senior year?


    ¡°Some pursue tirelessly and fail to attain, while others gain without even hoping for it.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the doorway of a distant testing room.


    Li Tianyou was looking enviously at Zhou Qi, who had become the center of attention.


    ¡°Sometimes, it really is about fate,¡± Li Yuan remarked with a sigh.


    ¡­The testing for Class 3 of the senior year concluded.


    In the end, only Zhou Qi succeeded in awakening.


    As one gets older, with the body and skeleton becoming set, the hope of attaining compatibility with high-level cultivation methods grows bleaker.


    For Class 3 of the senior year to witness the continuous awakening of two students¡¯ Martial Spirits within a single term was already a rare occurrence.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Dao Assessment, the tests for Qi and blood, Fist Strength, and Martial Arts Skills were all closed tests; other students wouldn¡¯t learn of the specific data immediately.


    But the physical quality tests such as forty meters, one hundred meters, one kilometer, ten kilometers.


    These were public.


    On the third day of the January exams.


    The students of Class 3 of the senior year followed behind the Elite Class students, arriving at the school¡¯s largest playground.


    There, they could undergo a ten-thousand-meter running test.


    However, the first physical test was the forty-meter sprint.


    ¡°The speed of those in the Elite Class is so fast.¡±


    ¡°14.5 meters per second!¡±


    ¡°That one, reaching 15.7 meters per second, his physical quality is definitely over level 7.¡±


    ¡°Damn! Damn! 17.2 meters per second? That¡¯s close to level 8.¡±


    ¡°Well-deserving of the Elite Class.¡± Next to Li Yuan, classmates watched as the Elite Class students crossed the finish line, bursting into exclamations from time to time.


    No wonder the students of Class 3 were so amazed; their physical qualities were generally just over level 5.


    In the Elite Class, after half a year of cultivation in their senior year, even the weakest had surpassed level 6, and quite a few were over 7.0.


    Cultivating high-level methods, even if one could only absorb traces of Cosmic Origin Power each time, conferred a massive advantage over average people.


    Of course, among the Elite Class students, those with a Physical Quality of level 8.0 were still few and far in between.


    ¡°Look, it¡¯s Lin Lanyue.¡±


    ¡°First in Martial Arts Skills among the grade.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s her.¡±


    On the track, the girl in red training gear, with bright eyes and white teeth, immediately drew everyone¡¯s gaze.


    No help for it, Lin Lanyue¡¯s fame was too great among the senior year.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue?¡± Li Yuan also turned curious and looked over; it was true that her physical quality was extremely strong.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    On the track, six figures burst into a sprint at once, with the crimson silhouette unleashing a terrifying speed.


    In just over two seconds, Lin Lanyue had already crossed the finish line, far ahead of the other students.


    On the distant display, Lin Lanyue¡¯s final result also appeared¡ª¡±19.7 meters per second¡±


    ¡°Holy shit.¡±


    ¡°Is this a high school student?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s almost a Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Damn, she¡¯s twice as fast as I am; one punch from her could definitely kill me.¡± Waves of astonishment rose amongst the crowd, filled with shock.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes fell upon Lin Lanyue and with a thought, the inquiry results appeared before him [Target person, Life Level: 9.0]


    ¡°Level 9.0?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    Upon a slight comparison, Li Yuan concluded, ¡°Her body¡¯s rate of improvement doesn¡¯t seem slower than mine.¡±


    Logically, as one progresses, the rate of physical quality improvement should slow down.


    Yet, Lin Lanyue¡¯s physical quality improvement showed not a hint of deceleration and there was even a trend of accelerating.


    The 40-meter test proceeded very quickly.


    It wasn¡¯t long before it was Class 3¡¯s turn.


    ¡°Random student numbers, first group, number 36, number 1, number 8¡­¡± The proctor rapidly announced the exam numbers.


    Li Yuan, as the top martial arts student of the class, was number 1.


    He took his place at the starting line.


    ¡°Is Li Yuan being tested?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s his level of physical quality?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°Should be over level 7, I think he was 6.5 at the start of the semester,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s appearance also drew many students¡¯ attention.


    Even many Elite Class students looked over.


    Li Yuan, with the ability to make it into the top thirty of the general class and recognized as the first in Martial Arts Skills.


    Especially after defeating Lin Lanyue in the last virtual fight, he had gained a considerable reputation at the school.


    ¡°Lanyue, look, it¡¯s Li Yuan¡­ Oh, you¡¯re already watching him.¡± The slightly plump girl beside her was about to call Lin Lanyue.


    She then realized that Lin Lanyue had already stopped walking.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Lin Lanyue watched intently; she was quite curious.


    How did Li Yuan manage to sign a B-level contract with Starfire Martial Hall?


    Perhaps this exam period might reveal some reasons.


    ¡°Lanyue, what do you think Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality level is now?¡± her chubby best friend asked curiously.


    ¡°Him?¡± Lin Lanyue hesitated, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s 7.4.¡±


    ¡°That high?¡± The best friend was a bit surprised; that level of physical quality would almost break into the top ten of the Elite Class.


    At that moment,


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh! The six on the track had already burst from the start, Li Yuan like an arrow, instantly leaving the five classmates far behind.


    Pulling nearly double the distance, he crossed the finish line directly.


    ¡°Beep¡ª¡±


    On the electronic display, Li Yuan¡¯s result instantly appeared¡ª¡±17.8 meters per second¡±

 Chapter 49 - 47: Only Wishing for No Regrets

    Chapter 49: Chapter 47: Only Wishing for No Regrets


    ¡°17.8 meters per second?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t see that wrong, did I?¡±


    ¡°How can he be so fast? That¡¯s ridiculous, is he from the ordinary class?¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan is awesome!¡± sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan is too impressive.¡± Outside the testing area, hundreds of students burst into exclamations.


    The students of Class 3 (2), being Li Yuan¡¯s classmates, were mostly shocked and excited. If one had to describe it in a sentence, it would be ¡®Li Yuan is getting more and more awesome.¡¯


    ...


    But for the students in the Elite Class, although they were also shocked, their reactions were more like ¡®This Li Yuan is this awesome?¡¯


    ¡°He really hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit?¡±


    ¡°With that kind of physical quality, he¡¯s almost at level 8.0, perhaps he is already at 8.0.¡± Students of the Elite Class discussed fervently, some in disbelief.


    As Elite Class students, when it comes to ordinary class students, they mostly feel a sense of superiority.


    Before, they knew Li Yuan was impressive, especially his Martial Arts Skills, even Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t compare to Li Yuan.


    However, not having awakened the Martial Spirit meant in their subconscious that the cultivation speed would be much slower.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s current performance? It¡¯s already crushing most of the students in the Elite Class.


    ¡°What the hell! He¡¯s even slightly faster than me, his physical quality is almost the same as mine? How did he improve so fast?¡±


    Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean his raw score is going to outstrip mine?¡±


    Gu Qianghan, at the end of his second year, ranked third in the grade for Martial Arts performance.


    However, Gu Qianghan¡¯s forty-meter burst speed test was only 17.6 meters per second.


    ¡°Lanyue, him?¡±


    The plump girl standing next to Lin Lanyue gaped: ¡°With that burst speed, he¡¯d be ranked third in our class, right?¡±


    Lin Lanyue ignored her best friend, falling into contemplation: ¡°How did he do it? Is this why he was able to sign with Starfire Martial Hall?¡±


    A winter¡¯s day, the sunshine was just right, with a gentle breeze that wasn¡¯t too dry.


    The girl stared at the handsome young man in the crowd, dressed in a white Martial Arts uniform.


    The young man had a radiant smile on his face as he accepted the enthusiastic cheers from his classmates, yet he did not look towards the girl.


    ¡°Lanyue, stop daydreaming.¡±


    The plump girl couldn¡¯t help but nudge the girl¡¯s hand: ¡°I admit Li Yuan is very handsome, seemingly more so than any of the boys in our class, but you don¡¯t have to moon over him this much.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the one mooning over him.¡± Lin Lanyue shot her friend a glance: ¡°I¡¯m just curious how he could improve so quickly.¡±


    ¡°Curious?¡±


    Plump girl Peng Qiqi chuckled mischievously: ¡°Curiosity is the first step to falling, if you don¡¯t want the handsome guy, I won¡¯t be polite.¡±


    ¡°It looks like you¡¯re the one about to fall.¡± Lin Lanyue raised her head slightly: ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t think Li Yuan is handsome. We are Martial Artist Students, we first look at strength, appearance is not important.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t find him handsome?¡± Peng Qiqi teased: ¡°Then, you wouldn¡¯t approve of any of the boys in our school.¡±


    ¡°To get my approval, they at least have to first get to the podium,¡± Lin Lanyue said with the corners of her mouth curved slightly, pulling her friend¡¯s hand: ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s time to gather for the 100-meter test.¡±


    ¡°Podium?¡±


    ¡°Lanyue, listen to what you¡¯re saying,¡± Peng Qiqi exaggeratedly exclaimed: ¡°Only the top Martial Arts performer in the grade can get to the podium, who can compete with you? Oh, I get it, you¡¯ve got your eye on the junior boys from the first and second year?¡±


    ¡°So you like them young!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Young man, are you truly from the ordinary class?¡± Two proctors from other schools, similarly astonished by Li Yuan¡¯s strength, asked.


    Among the third-year students, not having awakened the Martial Spirit and having physical quality surpassing 6.5 is extraordinarily rare.


    Not to mention standards like 7.9 or 8.0.


    The two teachers paused the test temporarily to check the equipment while reconfirming Li Yuan¡¯s identity from afar.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Impressive, Guan Mountain District has produced another promising youngster,¡± commented one of the older Martial Arts Teachers, unable to help himself: ¡°Young man, work hard, even without the Spiritual Nature bonus, with your physical quality, you have a chance to get into the Warrior Class of Jiangbei Martial University.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, teacher,¡± Li Yuan smiled and said.


    The Warrior Class at Jiangbei Martial University, similar to the Elite Class, would receive the best cultivation from Jiangbei Martial University.


    But that was not Li Yuan¡¯s goal.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and the physical testing of one hundred meters, one kilometer, and ten kilometers were conducted in succession.


    Lin Lanyue was the most notable.


    Her displayed physical quality was truly leading by a steep margin, not only far surpassing all the Elite Class students but also well ahead of the second place.


    And the one who garnered nearly as much attention as her was Li Yuan.


    In terms of physical testing data, there were several students like Gu Qianghan in the Elite Class who were no less than him.


    However, Li Yuan was too special; he was just an ordinary class student, unable to practice High Rank Cultivation Methods¡­ yet his physical quality had already surpassed more than ninety percent of the students in the Elite Class.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s improvement is too exaggerated.¡±


    ¡°He really hasn¡¯t awakened the Martial Spirit? How could his physical quality increase so fast?¡±


    ¡°I just checked, by the end of second year, based on score conversion, his physical quality should have only been at level 6.0.¡±


    ¡°In just half a year, his physical quality has improved by almost 2 levels, even more exaggerated than the top students of the Elite Class.¡±


    ¡°By the time of the college entrance exams, how high will his physical quality be? Level 9? He¡¯s not going to become a Martial Artist already, is he?¡±


    ¡°With Martial Arts Skills, he is first, and his physical quality is also this impressive?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°How high will his Martial Arts Score be after this assessment exam? I feel he can make it into the top twenty of our grade.¡±


    ¡°The top twenty for sure, maybe even the top ten.¡±


    ¡°The top ten? Impossible.¡±


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit, and it¡¯s normal for those in the top ten to receive bonus points for their Spiritual Nature. For Li Yuan to reach the top ten is too difficult, no matter how high his Martial Arts Skills score is, it can¡¯t be perfect.¡± Many students in the senior third grade were discussing this.


    For a time, Li Yuan virtually became a famous figure in the school, attracting much attention.


    The underdog¡¯s counterattack has always been the most popular topic amongst the masses.


    Li Yuan was not weak, but his lack of an awakened Martial Spirit resonated with most ordinary students and made them favor him.


    Even engendering a sense of vicariousness¡ªso what if he hasn¡¯t awakened? He¡¯s still awesome.


    ¡­The three-day January assessment exams came to an end.


    That evening was self-study class, and the exam results would be posted the following day during class.


    Around seven in the evening.


    Inside Martial Arts Room 7024 of the Guan Mountain District¡¯s branch of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Hoo!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Li Yuan, dressed in a loose martial arts outfit, was practicing the Solid Rock Fist Technique.


    This Fist Technique was in harmony with the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique, or one might say, the Fist Technique was a direct evolution of the Cultivation Stance Practice and Practice Method.


    Each movement, though seemingly slow, was fiercely explosive in its action.


    ¡°Fist Technique is about control over one¡¯s body.¡±


    ¡°Spear Technique is about control over one¡¯s weapon.¡±


    ¡°When my Spear Technique broke through to the Third Stage, it was actually my Fist Technique that had broken through first.¡± Li Yuan concentrated on his cultivation, glancing unconsciously at the Divine Palace panel: ¡°My Spear Technique has just broken through to 90% of the Third Stage, but my Fist Technique has long reached 99% of the Third Stage.¡±


    ¡°Spear Technique at Fourth Level emphasizes Body-Mind-Weapon Integration.¡±


    ¡°Yet for Fist Technique at Fourth Level, it¡¯s simply about Body and Mind Unity.¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°If I can¡¯t even achieve perfect Body and Mind Unity, how can I manage to achieve Body-Mind-Weapon Integration?¡±


    Body and Mind Unity is the foundation for Body-Mind-Weapon Integration.


    The spear and fist are inseparable.


    Practicing the spear essentially means practicing the fist, but Li Yuan would still occasionally focus on practicing his Fist Technique.


    ¡°According to the Divine Palace panel, my Physical Quality level is 7.8, but based on the real data I¡¯ve demonstrated today, I should be similar to the other students at level 7.9.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts roamed: ¡°Based on the university entrance exam standards, my score for Physical Quality should be around 435 points.¡±


    ¡°For Martial Arts Skills score, I didn¡¯t make any mistakes today, so I¡¯m definitely over 380 points.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    360 points is the benchmark for the Third Stage.


    To reach 380 points, Li Yuan estimated, one would have to attain at least Intermediate Rank Third Stage skills.


    With his own Spear Technique skills close to Perfection of Third Stage, how many points he could get was unclear to him.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Even by the most conservative estimate, as long as I score over 65 points in the academic subjects, my total Martial Arts Score should exceed 880 points.¡± Li Yuan recited inwardly, ¡°Hopefully enough to break into the top ten.¡±


    Breaking into the top ten of his grade, Li Yuan was fairly confident.


    But the top five?


    ¡°Small hope, not going to be presumptuous.¡± Li Yuan threw a punch with such force that it made the air around him seem to explode.


    There was no sense of loss in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    What had to be done had been done to the fullest; the rest was waiting.


    ¡°Whatever the result, I have no regrets, so why should I create more worries for myself?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was as calm as still water as he continued to practice his Fist Technique in silence.


    The heart of a martial artist seeks only to be without regrets.


    ¡­


    At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, at the principal¡¯s office of Guan Mountain District¡¯s top high school.


    Principal Tan Zhenlong was still working overtime.


    ¡°Beep¡ª¡± The sound of the intelligent assistant rang out, ¡°Master, Teacher Xu Bo is calling you on video.¡±


    ¡°Xu Bo?¡±


    ¡°That guy really can¡¯t wait even a quarter of an hour,¡± Tan Zhenlong shook his head with a smile, put down the performance list in his hand and said, ¡°Xiao Jiu, connect the call.¡±


    Whirr~ An assembly of light converged, forming a screen.


    The imposing figure of Xu Bo appeared in the screen projection.


    ¡°Old Tan, have you seen the January assessment exam results?¡± Xu Bo¡¯s face was full of smiles.


    ¡°I have.¡±


    Tan Zhenlong nodded slightly and spoke indifferently, ¡°Why are you looking for me so late, Teacher Xu?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about Li Yuan.¡± Xu Bo replied.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Tan Zhenlong nodded, ¡°He performed quite well.¡±


    ¡°So what?¡± Xu Bo looked at Tan Zhenlong.


    ¡°So what?¡± Tan Zhenlong¡¯s mouth curled with a smile as he looked at Xu Bo.


    ¡°What¡¯s with that attitude.¡± Xu Bo glared, ¡°You old rascal, don¡¯t pretend to be clueless with me, I have video proof from last time.¡±


    ¡°Hurry up.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already sent you the scholarship application, get it approved quickly.¡±

 Chapter 50 - 48: 900 Points? Final Rankings

    Chapter 50: Chapter 48: 900 Points? Final Rankings


    January 6, 2043.


    Li Yuan did not practice ¡°Stellar Spear Technique¡± or ¡°Dragon Movement Scripture¡± in the virtual network today.


    So, as usual, he left the house a little after three in the morning.


    ¡°It¡¯s been several days since I last saw the night of Jiang City at three in the morning,¡± Li Yuan looked up at the pitch-black sky, ¡°I still cannot slack off in my daily practice.¡±


    He arrived at his personal martial arts room at school.


    As usual, he first practiced the Basic Cultivation Method for two hours before starting to practice with the spear.


    ...


    ¡°Shua!¡±


    ¡°Shua!¡± The shadows of the spear moved unpredictably as Li Yuan manipulated his long spear in his hand.


    As he moved with the steps, sometimes the spear was like a sudden gust of wind or torrential rain, sometimes dreamy and elusive, and sometimes fierce and violent.


    Sometimes a sudden straight thrust would cause the speed of the spear¡¯s tip to soar, making the air roar and explode.


    The eighteen routines of ¡°Solid Rock Spear Technique¡± had long been perfected to the extreme by Li Yuan.


    ¡°I have fully grasped the five deadly moves of the Solid Rock Spear Technique,¡± he said to himself.


    ¡°Following Teacher Xu Bo¡¯s guidance, what I need to do now is to practice over and over, engraving the flow of vigor from the five deadly moves deep into my bones,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°In the end, without deliberately using any particular move, any spear technique I execute should reach a state of flawless vigor.¡±


    ¡°Body and mind as one.¡±


    ¡°Then that¡¯s Fourth Level Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Improvement in skills can only rely on oneself.¡±


    ¡°According to the intelligent teacher, the breakthrough from the perfection of Third Stage to Fourth Level is a mysterious one, a breakthrough in the spiritual consciousness¡¯ perception of the body.¡±


    ¡°Some martial artists may break through just by having a sleep and feeling it.¡±


    ¡°Some may have an epiphany during a life-and-death battle, leading to a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°But many more martial artists are stuck at the perfection of Third Stage for their entire lives.¡±


    ¡°There is no absolute path to success from Third Stage to Fourth Level,¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°What I need to do now is to practice over and over again.¡±


    ¡°If a thousand times is not enough.¡±


    ¡°Then ten thousand times it is!¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll train my spear technique to 99% of the Third Stage,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with longing. ¡°Then go and fight in virtual combat, go to real battle.¡±


    Years of spear practice told Li Yuan.


    If you can¡¯t break through?


    Then it¡¯s not enough accumulation! Just keep training!


    ¡°Read a book a thousand times, and its meaning will appear,¡± Li Yuan swung the large spear in his hand. ¡°The same goes for the spear.¡±


    ¡°You only ever hear about Spear Technique Masters who practiced their way there.¡±


    Over an hour later.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has increased from 90% of the Third Stage to 91% of the Third Stage.]


    ¡­


    Around seven o¡¯clock, Li Yuan arrived at the classroom.


    Most of the students had already arrived.


    However, compared to the usual scene where most students were earnestly studying on their own, the atmosphere in the classroom today was much more somber, with most people distracted.


    ¡°Old Zhou, why the long face?¡± Li Yuan sat down, pulling out his test papers while asking.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, the results for the January mock exams are about to be announced,¡± Zhou Qi said glumly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you nervous?¡±


    ¡°Not nervous,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s just a few points difference.¡±


    ¡°I forgot you¡¯re a martial arts student; cultural classes only account for 100 points,¡± Zhou Qi sighed. ¡°But I¡¯m a cultural student, if I do poorly, I¡¯ll get skinned alive when I get home.¡±


    ¡°Then you¡¯d be ¡®Zhou the Skinner,''¡± Li Yuan said offhandedly.


    Zhou Qi gave Li Yuan a helpless look, too lazy to even retort.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t told your family about your awakening of Martial Spirit, have you?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°I told them,¡± Zhou Qi replied. ¡°But what good does that do? My dad just asked me one question: with only a few months left, can you make it into Martial Arts University?¡±


    ¡°A person must be self-aware. I didn¡¯t even hope to get into Martial Arts University,¡± Zhou Qi said. ¡°So, I¡¯ve decided not to go to the Elite Class.¡±


    ¡°Just learn the High Level Cultivation Method and that¡¯s enough.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Indeed, Zhou Qi¡¯s physical quality was only at 4.3 levels up till now, and his martial arts score was quite terrible.


    Not going to the Elite Class couldn¡¯t be called wrong.


    ¡°It¡¯s good too,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°With the awakening of Martial Spirit, you can cultivate High Level Cultivation Method, and your martial arts score will improve much faster.¡±


    ¡°Even if you go the cultural route, martial arts still account for 30% of the score.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hm,¡± Zhou Qi nodded.


    At that moment.


    The homeroom teacher of the cultural class, dressed in a small chanel-style jacket and pencil pants, appeared at the front door of the classroom.


    Teacher Chen¡¯s face was as dark as water, holding a stack of papers and two ranking lists in his hands.


    Instantly!


    The classroom fell silent, everyone knew that the rankings were about to be unveiled.


    Especially the students who chose the cultural path, each of them became nervous, many involuntarily bowed their heads.


    All were inwardly chanting ¡®don¡¯t call my name.¡¯


    Of course, there were also a few with excellent grades, hoping in their hearts ¡®maybe this time I did well, I can improve by a few ranks.¡¯


    For martial arts students like Li Yuan, they were relatively calm by comparison since, at least, they had a rough idea of their own martial arts scores.


    ¡°Bang~¡± The test papers were thrown onto the podium.


    The atmosphere grew even more tense.


    ¡°This January mock exam really revealed your true levels; hanging around all nonchalant, not studying culture properly, not practicing martial dao diligently¡­¡± Teacher Chen¡¯s voice was icy. ¡°All of you think that just being in Guan High will get you into a first-tier university? Dream on!¡±


    ¡°Based on the citywide rankings this time, some of you would struggle to make it into a second-tier university, and I won¡¯t call out any names ¨C you know who you are!¡± Teacher Chen scolded like a machine gun.


    Many students bowed their heads even lower.


    The January mock exam.


    As the first major standardized test of the final year in high school, the cultural paper was intentionally difficult, aiming to undermine the students¡¯ confidence, to get them to settle down and review better.


    At this stage, Teacher Chen, as the homeroom teacher of the cultural class, would not allow her students to develop any sense of pride.


    She scolded relentlessly for more than ten minutes, without repeating herself once.


    Even Li Yuan, with his strong psychological fortitude, started to doubt if he was one of the ¡®very few people, rotten mouse droppings, certain individuals¡¯ that Teacher Chen was referring to.


    Finally.


    ¡°But there are very few students who have made significant progress, and they deserve encouragement,¡± Ms. Chen said lightly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll start with the academic scores now. Everyone listen carefully.¡±


    In high school, there is no emphasis on protecting students¡¯ grade privacy.


    ¡°Li Shutong, 889 points,¡± Ms. Chen paused: ¡°Second in academic performance for the grade.¡±


    This immediately caused a burst of exclamations. A score over 850 points in academics is a clear indication of a top student.


    ¡°Li Wanxing, 868 points.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Zhou Qi, 849 points.¡±


    Zhou Qi, with his head bowed, suddenly lifted it slightly, his face full of pride. His academic performance was quite good.


    One by one, the students¡¯ grades were announced, some beaming with joy, others showing frustration on their faces.


    Where there¡¯s ranking, some rise and some must fall.


    There are always half dissatisfied.


    ¡°Li Yuan, 742 points,¡± Ms. Chen added when she read Li Yuan¡¯s name: ¡°Not bad, a great improvement.¡±


    Instantly, many students turned to look at Li Yuan, which made him somewhat embarrassed.


    They don¡¯t praise the ones with over eight hundred points.


    Praise his score in the seven hundreds?


    ¡°Brother Yuan, didn¡¯t you score just over six hundred points last time?¡± Zhou Qi widened his eyes at Li Yuan: ¡°An increase of nearly one hundred points?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve spent more time reviewing recently,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°You¡¯re full of it,¡± Zhou Qi immediately retorted: ¡°When have you ever attended the academic study sessions in the evening?¡±


    ¡°I was reviewing in the Martial Arts room,¡± Li Yuan said frankly.


    The scores of each student were read out.


    Li Tianyou¡¯s score was 586 points, which was near the bottom of the class. As for the academic performance ranking for the grade, it likely fell short of the last time.


    In fact, among the ten or so Martial Artist Students, Li Yuan¡¯s academic performance was already a steep lead.


    ¡­


    After the academic grades were announced, Ms. Chen didn¡¯t pause and went straight on: ¡°Now I will read out the Martial Arts scores, listen carefully.¡±


    All ears perked up to listen.


    The academic results were known, and knowing the Martial Arts results meant they could calculate the overall score and see where they stood.


    Ms. Chen looked at the second transcript and unconsciously glanced at Li Yuan, seemingly hesitant.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Ms. Chen paused for a moment before slowly saying: ¡°827 points.¡±


    Boom!


    The entire classroom exploded in an instant, and many people looked at Li Yuan with a shocked gaze.


    They doubted if they heard that right.


    You should know, this Martial Arts score doesn¡¯t include the academic conversion points. In other words, the total possible score is only 900 points.


    Li Yuan exceeded 800 points?


    And by several tens of points!


    It was known that although Li Yuan had stolen the show at yesterday¡¯s Martial Dao Assessment, he hadn¡¯t dominated quite like Lin Lanyue, but now this result was truly exaggerated.


    ¡°827 points? Brother Yuan, you have 74 points added for your academic conversion. Adding that up,¡± Zhou Qi already started calculating for Li Yuan: ¡°Holy shit! Brother Yuan, your total Martial Arts score exceeded 900 points!!¡±


    ¡°A raw score of 901 points,¡± Zhou Qi couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    ¡°901 points?¡±


    ¡°A raw score over 900 points? Li Yuan.¡± All students were shocked.


    It was just too fierce.


    Academic performance might be boosted substantially in a short time, but improving in Martial Arts generally happens very slowly. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Cough, cough, quiet!¡± Ms. Chen coughed twice, regaining calm in the class.


    ¡°Li Yuan really did well this time.¡±


    ¡°Physical Quality score of 438 points, third in the grade,¡± Ms. Chen said: ¡°Martial Arts Skills¡­ 389 points, first in the grade.¡±


    ¡°This single score in Martial Arts Skills is also the first in Guan Mountain District and second in Jiang City.¡±


    Boom!


    All the students in the class were once again excited and shocked.


    Whether it was the 389 points in Martial Arts Skills or the second-in-city ranking for that category.


    Both were somewhat beyond their comprehension.


    Normally, such martial arts scores shouldn¡¯t appear in their ordinary class.


    It was practically fantasy.


    ¡°389 points?¡± Li Yuan remained very calm in his heart, muttering to himself: ¡°Not bad, it seems that to surpass 390 or even get close to a perfect score, I¡¯ll probably have to reach the Fourth Level in Spear Technique.¡±


    With a total Martial Arts score of 901 points, the result was way better than Li Yuan had expected.


    ¡°Teacher, Li Yuan has a total Martial Arts score of 901, what rank is he in the grade, did he make it into the top ten?¡± Suddenly, a student couldn¡¯t help but speak out.


    The others, too, were looking at Ms. Chen with curious and expectant gazes.


    A total score over 900 points.


    Even without extra points for Spiritual Nature, the ranking for the grade must be quite astonishing.


    Li Yuan also looked towards Ms. Chen, his fist clenched slightly.


    Could he be in the top five?


    ¡°In terms of the raw score, Li Yuan is second,¡± Ms. Chen said directly: ¡°The first place in Martial Arts raw score is from the Elite Class, Lin Lanyue, with 929 points.¡±


    ¡°As for the final total score, Li Yuan ranks sixth in the grade and two hundred and twelfth in the city,¡± Ms. Chen¡¯s face revealed a rare smile: ¡°Based on the rankings from previous years, this score gives him a chance to break into the top five famous schools.¡±


    Clearly, Ms. Chen was extremely satisfied with Li Yuan¡¯s performance.


    ¡°The top five famous schools?¡±


    ¡°A citywide ranking, reaching over two hundred names?¡±


    ¡°Sixth in the grade?¡± The other students were even more stunned and couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, that¡¯s freaking awesome!!¡± Zhou Qi was even more excited than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Sixth in the grade?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face only showed a slight smile as he sighed inwardly: ¡°Still short by one rank, huh?¡±

 Chapter 51 - 49: Invitation from Martial Arts University

    Chapter 51: Chapter 49: Invitation from Martial Arts University


    Last September.


    When Teacher Xu Bo helped to apply for a Second-Class scholarship, he had promised Li Yuan that as long as he ranked within the top ten in the grade, he would be awarded a First-Class scholarship of 100,000 Blue Star Coins.


    If he ranked within the top five, he would be awarded a Special Scholarship of 500,000 Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Just one spot short.¡± Li Yuan sighed quietly to himself.


    He did not feel particularly disappointed in his heart, having given his all, there wasn¡¯t a need to dwell on it further.


    It¡¯s not reasonable to expect others to underperform.


    ...


    ¡°It¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°At least, I can get 100,000 Blue Star Coins.¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Moreover, a few days ago when I encountered the Left Hall Master at the Martial Hall, the Left Hall Master said that the achievements and rewards from the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Hall were about to be distributed, which probably meant a substantial amount of money.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s bank account currently still had a considerable number of Blue Star Coins and Martial Hall Points.


    But his martial arts cultivation was like a gold-consuming cave, consuming them just as fast.


    Naturally, he had to think of a solution.


    ¡°Li Yuan, keep up the good work,¡± Teacher Chen on the platform glanced at Li Yuan before continuing, ¡°I hope the other students will learn more from Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Now I will read the martial arts scores of the others; listen carefully.¡±


    ¡°Li Tianyou, 685 points,¡± Teacher Chen said.


    Li Tianyou followed closely behind Li Yuan, ranking second in the class for martial arts achievement.


    However, though he ranked second, his score gap with Li Yuan was astonishing.


    ¡°685 points?¡± Li Tianyou¡¯s face relaxed slightly.


    But he still didn¡¯t look too pleased.


    With 685 points, plus his academic converted score of 59 points, his total martial arts score was only 744, making the prospect of getting into a martial arts university quite slim.


    ¡°Am I still not working hard enough?¡± Li Tianyou clenched his fists silently, somewhat unreconciled: ¡°If I had more resources for cultivation, more guidance from teachers, my score could definitely have been much higher.¡±


    Li Tianyou was not foolish.


    He practiced his cultivation madly, to the point that even his body was starting to fail to keep up. He was aware of the occasional well-meaning advice from other students.


    But, what can be done when there¡¯s not much money at home?


    ¡°Gu Yaoyao, 664 points,¡± Teacher Chen continued reading the scores.


    Most of the students¡¯ martial arts scores were quite ordinary, with no significant fluctuations.


    Martial arts cultivation requires talent, and even more so, resources.


    If one says that for academic exams, there are occasional flashes of brilliance, extraordinary performances.


    Then, in martial arts assessments, there are only two possibilities: normal performance or poor performance, extraordinary performance does not exist.


    Strong is strong, weak is weak.


    ¡­


    After finishing announcing scores, it was time to distribute test papers and discuss the questions.


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°I already spend less time on academic subjects; I must pay attention in class,¡± Li Yuan thought clearly, ¡°To get into one of the top five prestigious schools, I need to strive for every single point. If I can score a few more on the academics, the hope will be greater.¡±


    One point difference could determine the fate of thousands, it was no mere saying.


    Like Li Yuan this time.


    The ten points added to his cultural subjects, which allowed his martial arts total score to exceed 900, played a critical role.


    ¡­


    Before you knew it, it was ten o¡¯clock, and there was a fifteen-minute break between classes.


    Teacher Chen first posted three score sheets next to the blackboard on the ¡®score column,¡¯ then turned around and said, ¡°Li Yuan, Li Tianyou, Wang Zihan, the three of you come with me to the office.¡±


    ¡°The rest of you, class dismissed.¡±


    Immediately.


    The students in the class swarmed to the score column like a tide, starting to check their own rankings.


    Teacher Chen had only announced the scores just now, without revealing the complete rankings.


    The scores posted would indicate one¡¯s ranking in the grade, district, and city.


    ¡°Locked in! Top ten thousand in the city.¡±


    ¡°Damn, one point off and more than a hundred ranks difference in the city? That many contenders?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, going to get a lecture from my parents again.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t perform well this time, only ranked thirteenth in the grade; didn¡¯t even break into the top ten.¡±


    The students discussed among themselves, some jubilant and some in sorrow, but most of them were unsatisfied, calculating things like ¡®if I could gain five more points in this subject, ten more in another, my ranking would definitely¡­¡¯


    Li Yuan and Li Tianyou had followed Teacher Chen to her office by now.


    Li Yuan was calm and collected, while the other two were on edge.


    ¡°You two wait outside,¡± Teacher Chen instructed, ¡°Li Yuan, come in with me.¡±


    Entering the office, Teacher Chen sat down to organize the papers, greeting the nearby teachers as if she had forgotten Li Yuan¡¯s presence for a moment.


    This was a common tactic used by experienced teachers to discipline students.


    First they leave the student hanging for a while, occasionally throw a cold glance, continue to ignore them, letting the student become more and more anxious.


    Eventually, without even needing the teacher to speak, students confess their wrongdoing in a burst.


    However.


    Being called separately to the office after a major exam mostly happens for two reasons¡ªeither marked improvement or significant regression. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan believed he represented the former.


    ¡°Cough~ Cough~¡± Li Yuan coughed, reaching for the water cup, ¡°Teacher, the water¡¯s cold, let me add some hot water for you.¡±


    Without waiting for Teacher Chen¡¯s response, Li Yuan had already picked up the cup and went to the water dispenser.


    Li Yuan first poured out the cold water, then refilled it with both cold and hot water, gauging the appropriate temperature by feel.


    After adjusting the water, he twisted the cup lid loosely.


    Then, taking a paper towel, he wiped off the water droplets from the outside of the cup and returned to the desk, placing the cup gently on Teacher Chen¡¯s left side.


    People typically hold the cup with their left hand and twist the cap with their right.


    ¡°The water temperature¡¯s just right,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Why not have a drink first?¡±


    ¡°You!¡± Teacher Chen watched the whole process, shaking her head with a chuckle, but it was clear she was in a good mood.


    Teachers, in fact, all like students who are good at handling things and have a sweet mouth.


    ¡°I called you here because there¡¯s something I need to discuss,¡± Teacher Chen said as he picked up a water cup, sipping on it while speaking. ¡°You did well in the recent exam, ranking sixth in the grade, especially with your Martial Arts Skills score. In previous years, this score alone could have competed for the city¡¯s top score in the individual subject.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    ¡°Unfortunately, this year a prodigy emerged from the Teacher¡¯s College High School,¡± said Teacher Chen with a hint of regret. ¡°That student achieved a perfect score in Martial Arts Skills.¡±


    ¡°A perfect score in skills?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    The Physical Quality score is 500 points, with a full score requirement being a Level 10.0 physical quality.


    For Martial Arts Skills, worth 400 points, Li Yuan was not sure about the requirements, but he guessed they would involve Fourth Level skills.


    ¡°What¡¯s the name?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Wu Dongdong,¡± Teacher Chen said. ¡°He also ranked first in the overall Martial Arts score of the city during this January¡¯s assessment, with a Martial Arts score of 900 points and an overall score of 1,077 points.¡±


    ¡°Full scores in two categories? That¡¯s really impressive!¡± Li Yuan exclaimed sincerely.


    Such a score was incredibly exaggerated.


    Far more so than Lin Lanyue¡¯s scores.


    A Martial Arts score of 900 points suggests that the person has at least a 10.0 physical level and that their academic performance is also good.


    The Teacher¡¯s College High School has always been the best high school in Jiang City, known nationwide. It¡¯s not surprising that they would produce such a Martial Arts prodigy.


    Actually.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t at all surprised that someone could far surpass him.


    After all, the highest pre-signing with the Martial Hall is an S-level contract, which indicates that there have definitely been people who¡¯ve signed it before.


    Even after awakening his Martial Spirit, Li Yuan only qualified for an A-level contract.


    This world never lacks geniuses, which is something Li Yuan has understood since he was young.


    ¡°Forget about others.¡±


    ¡°You, in fact, have already done quite well,¡± Teacher Chen said. ¡°After the January assessment, in early March, Jiangbei Martial Arts University has an ¡®observation invitation event¡¯. Our school has ten slots. The top ten students from the January assessment in terms of Martial Arts overall score can go.¡±


    ¡°Are you willing to go?¡± Teacher Chen looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°An invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment.


    ¡°Yes, they invite the elite Martial Artist Students from the whole city and even the province, nearly a thousand in total, for a five-day period,¡± Teacher Chen explained with a smile. ¡°If a professor from the university takes interest in you and thinks you¡¯re suitable for cultivation, after the college entrance examination is over, they¡¯ll immediately invite you to the Martial Arts University, and you¡¯ll start special training over the summer.¡±


    ¡°Martial Arts Cultivation is different from academic courses. At your age, three months is crucial. Utilized properly, it¡¯s enough to significantly improve your Martial Arts strength.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, starting from the age of sixteen and accompanied by physical development and vigorous vitality, Martial Arts Cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.


    ¡°Teacher, my college entrance examination goal is ¡®Kunlun Martial Arts University¡¯,¡± Li Yuan stated.


    The five renowned Martial Arts colleges in Xia Country are named after Xiaking, South Sea, Kunlun, East Sea, and Polestar.


    Kunlun Martial Arts University has the most enrollment allocations in Jiangbei Province every year and is the first choice for Martial Arts elites in Jiangbei Province.


    ¡°I know.¡±


    ¡°If you can get into Kunlun Martial Arts University, it would certainly be the best choice for you. You have the potential to do it. But without an awakened Spiritual Nature, are you one hundred percent sure?¡± Teacher Chen questioned Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    ¡°Your goal is to aim for Kunlun Martial Arts University, but Jiangbei Martial Arts University is your safety net. Going to visit and get a feel for it, and meeting the university¡¯s professors is not a bad thing for you,¡± Teacher Chen put down his water cup. ¡°Right?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, finding reason in Teacher Chen¡¯s words.


    ¡°Okay, then. I¡¯ll send you the application form and the detailed itinerary on V-chat. Fill it out and send me an electronic signature when you¡¯re done,¡± Teacher Chen said. ¡°By the way, after this afternoon¡¯s school-wide mobilization meeting, the scholarship for ranking in the top ten of your grade will be deposited into your account. Don¡¯t forget to check it.¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    For a large-scale exam like this, being in the top ten for total Martial Arts Scores in the grade comes with a reward of five thousand Blue Star Coins and several bottles of blood-qi potions as scholarship bonuses.


    Moreover, one would also obtain a private Martial Arts Room, but Li Yuan already had one.


    ¡­


    Among the three, the last one to enter the office was L¨« Tianyou, who was much more nervous than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± L¨« Tianyou approached the desk.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I called you here not to criticize you but to tell you that you did well on the exam,¡± Teacher Chen said with a smile. ¡°Do you remember what I told you last time, about applying for the Third Class scholarship?¡±


    L¨« Tianyou¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°With your scores from this exam, combined with your family¡¯s financial situation¡­ you¡¯ve been successful in your application,¡± Teacher Chen said with a smile. ¡°I know you work very hard, but make sure to balance work and rest. Don¡¯t push yourself too much. The twenty thousand coin scholarship will be transferred to your account today.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher,¡± Tianyou said, quite moved, his eyes reddening slightly.


    ¡°Alright, off you go. Keep this matter to yourself; you don¡¯t need to tell anyone else,¡± Teacher Chen stood up, patted L¨« Tianyou¡¯s shoulder, and saw him out.


    Teacher Chen sat back down in his chair.


    His smile faded as he turned on his smart bracelet and stared absent-mindedly at the document labeled¡ª¡±Third Class Scholarship Application Review Comments: Rejected.¡±


    ¡°Sigh.¡±


    Teacher Chen let out a soft sigh.


    After a moment of thought, he forwarded the document to Xu Bo.


    This scholarship application was something she and Xu Bo had worked on together for L¨« Tianyou.


    ¡­


    After lunch, Li Yuan returned to the 4011 Martial Arts Room and entered the virtual network pod directly.


    Connection established.


    ¡°Personal space.¡± Li Yuan stood in his vast personal space, checking the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University:


    Dear Li Yuan¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s all nonsense,¡± Li Yuan frowned, quickly skimming the first few pages.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped sharply, fixed on the itinerary details.


    Day Four itinerary: Combat Assessment: Hunt Star Realm Creatures.


    ¡­


    After pondering for a while.


    Li Yuan quickly filled in his information.


    Electronic signature.


    Click, Accept Invitation!


    ¡°I hope it doesn¡¯t disappoint me,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, disengaging his consciousness from the virtual network.

 Chapter 52 - 50: Recognition on the Podium

    Chapter 52: Chapter 50: Recognition on the Podium


    He exited the virtual reality pod.


    Li Yuan began today¡¯s Martial Path training, starting with the Basic Cultivation Method and then practicing his Spear Technique.


    This had become Li Yuan¡¯s routine.


    It wasn¡¯t until three-thirty in the afternoon, after taking a hot shower in the rest room, that Li Yuan left the Martial Arts Room.


    As Mr. Chen mentioned this morning.


    At four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, there would be a school assembly for all teachers and students. Everyone was required to gather at the sports field on time, with no exceptions for tardiness.


    ...


    Just as he closed the door of the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± A rather happy voice came from not too far away: ¡°You¡¯re still in the Martial Arts Room? Hurry up, I thought I was the only one left.¡±


    ¡°Gu Qiang, you haven¡¯t left yet?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, spotting the handsome young man at the end of the hallway.


    Whether it¡¯s mealtime, bathroom breaks, heading to the sports field, or after school, students always liked to pair up.


    Boys were no exception.


    Approaching the end of the term, Li Yuan and G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n had run into each other quite often.


    They had become quite familiar with each other.


    Through frequent interactions.


    Li Yuan had long noticed that despite G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n¡¯s seemingly impulsive nature, he was actually quite straightforward with no ill intentions¡ªhis face always gave away his thoughts. He made for a pretty good choice as a friend.


    ¡°It¡¯s Gu Qiang! Gu Qiang!¡± G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n hopped, protesting: ¡°That¡¯s what my sister calls me.¡±


    ¡°If your sister can call you that, why can¡¯t I?¡± Li Yuan walked closer with a smile: ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go downstairs.¡±


    ¡°Of course my sister can call me that.¡± Gu Qiang led the way down the stairs, glancing back at Li Yuan: ¡°You¡¯re not my brother-in-law, why should you call me little Qiang?¡±


    ¡°So what if I call you that?¡± Li Yuan chuckled: ¡°You can¡¯t beat me anyway.¡±


    ¡°This exam, in terms of bare Martial Path scores, I seem to remember you weren¡¯t as high as me.¡±


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n suddenly felt stuck.


    Indeed!


    He had seen the score report and knew about Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying score in the January assessment¡ªsecond in the grade¡­ and far exceeding the third place.


    From a practical standpoint, whoever has a higher bare Martial Path score often has a greater advantage and a higher probability of winning in actual combat.


    ¡°Tch!¡±


    G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n suddenly raised his middle finger: ¡°So what if your bare score is higher than mine? I have extra points for Spiritual Nature, and my overall score is second in the grade while you¡¯re only¡­¡±


    Seeing that Li Yuan didn¡¯t respond.


    ¡°Forget it.¡± G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n suddenly realized it was inappropriate to continue and waved his hand magnanimously: ¡°I forgive you for tricking me during the exam. From now on, remember to call me Gu Qiang, ¡®little Qiang¡¯ is not for you to use.¡±


    ¡°Got it, Gu Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n,¡± Li Yuan purposely elongated the sound.


    ¡°Oh my, you won¡¯t have any friends if you keep this up,¡± G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n glared.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n, exchanging ¡®friendly greetings¡¯ all the way, walked into the sports field together.


    At that moment, there were only two minutes left until four o¡¯clock.


    The majority of the classes from the whole school had already assembled in an orderly fashion.


    The lineups for class three-year-one and class three-year-two were right next to each other.


    ¡°Lanyue,¡± the slightly plump girl Peng Qiqi nudged the hand of the girl next to her, Lin Lanyue: ¡°Look, why is your brother so close with Li Yuan? They¡¯re coming over so late together.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan is trying to take a shortcut?¡± Peng Qiqi winked: ¡°First he gets on good terms with your brother, then chases after you.¡±


    ¡°Qiqi, have you been reading too many romance novels?¡± Lin Lanyue extended her hand, pinching her best friend¡¯s neck, causing Peng Qiqi to giggle.


    Many boys around couldn¡¯t help but glance over.


    In the Martial Arts class, there were quite a few who had a crush on Lin Lanyue.


    However, no one dared to confess.


    ¡°Hehe.¡± Peng Qiqi tried to block Lin Lanyue¡¯s hand while muttering softly: ¡°Then you tell me, why is he so close with Gu Qiang?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know what kind of person Gu Qiang is?¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head gently: ¡°If you could pin him down and beat him up repeatedly, he¡¯d also be willing to be friends with you.¡±


    ¡°Gu Qiang and Li Yuan had a sparring match?¡± Peng Qiqi asked in surprise.


    ¡°Yeah, they both have individual Martial Arts Rooms next to each other,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded: ¡°They¡¯ve fought several times in virtual battles, and Gu Qiang lost every time.¡±


    Peng Qiqi mused: ¡°Right, Li Yuan¡¯s bare Martial Path score this time was second, exceeding 900 points, not much lower than yours.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s 28 points lower,¡± Lin Lanyue emphasized.


    She was actually very concerned about Li Yuan¡¯s score.


    In the morning, the homeroom teacher from her culture class informed her of the scores and rankings right away, and also told her about Li Yuan being the first in ¡®skill score¡¯ in the Guan Mountain District and second in the entire city.


    At that time, Lin Lanyue was shocked by Li Yuan¡¯s incredible rate of progress.


    However, she naturally didn¡¯t want to admit it in front of her best friend.


    ¡°You remember his score quite well, huh.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Peng Qiqi giggled: ¡°By the way, you said before that only someone on the podium would be worthy of your affection. I think next time, Li Yuan¡¯s bare score might surpass yours.¡±


    Lin Lanyue blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering: ¡°Let¡¯s wait until he surpasses me, then we¡¯ll talk.¡±


    ¡°Even if his bare score surpasses mine, his total score is still lower. The ones who get on the podium are the ones with the highest total score, not the highest bare score,¡± Lin Lanyue said indifferently.


    In her subconscious, she felt that Li Yuan had a chance of surpassing her bare score.


    ¡°You¡¯re just a sore loser,¡± Peng Qiqi laughed, suddenly sticking out her tongue: ¡°Here comes Mr. Xia.¡±


    Mr. Xia was the homeroom teacher for class three-year-one.


    ¡­


    ¡°Today, we are honored with the presence of the following leaders at our school. They are the Director of the Guan Mountain District Martial Arts Bureau ¡®Director Zhang¡¯, representatives from the Guan Mountain District Education Bureau¡­ the Deputy Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s Guan Mountain branch, Hall Master Song of the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s Guan Mountain branch¡­¡± the host teacher introduced the guests seated at the podium.


    There were more than a dozen in total.


    ¡°The Hall Master Zuo is here?¡± Standing among the ranks, Li Yuan looked up at the woman on stage with her brown curly hair and face full of valor, slightly surprised.


    Logically, how could so many leaders be present at an internal school assembly for teachers and students?


    The representatives from both major Martial Halls had arrived.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, haven¡¯t you noticed? There seem to be quite a few reporters here today,¡± Yan Zhou whispered, pointing to the long spears and short cannons on either side of the podium.


    ¡°Oh,¡± Li Yuan nodded. He had arrived at the playground rather late and hadn¡¯t noticed until now.


    ¡°Respected leaders and teachers¡­¡± Principal Tan Zhenlong had started his spirited speech.


    As Principal Tan read from the papers, his eyes swept over the thousands of students below, as if seeing a scene brimming with vitality and flourishing life.


    Time passed.


    As one leader after another spoke, the students below had started to yawn.


    Finally.


    The most important part of today¡¯s agenda began¡ªthe commendation ceremony.


    ¡°In this citywide January examination, our senior year students fought valiantly, achieving outstanding results again¡­ Wan Qingling and ten other students ranked in the top ten for total academic scores.¡±


    ¡°Lin Lanyue, Gu Qianghan¡­ Li Yuan¡­ and ten other students ranked in the top ten for total Martial Path scores. Please join me, all teachers and students, in congratulating them and hope everyone will learn from them,¡± the presenting teacher said with passion.


    Scattered applause broke out from below.


    Most of the students had lost all interest and just wished to leave the assembly and return to their classrooms swiftly.


    This was especially true for the first and second-year students, who mostly felt like they were merely cheap ¡®NPC audiences,¡¯ sending their friendly regards to the leaders in private.


    Down below.


    ¡°Lanyue, it¡¯s about time for you to go on stage,¡± Peng Qiqi whispered softly, ¡°Good luck.¡±


    The first in both academic and Martial Path scores, as per tradition, are to go on stage for special recognition and a photo with the school leaders.


    Lin Lanyue was quite indifferent.


    Events like this she had experienced many times over her high school years and was very familiar with the process.


    However.


    The teacher hosting on stage did not introduce the two top-ranked students of the year as Lin Lanyue and most senior students had expected; instead, he handed the microphone back to Principal Tan Zhenlong who had stepped forward.


    ¡°Today¡¯s assembly,¡±


    Principal Tan Zhenlong said solemnly: ¡°Apart from summarizing the January exams for the senior year and commending excellent students, there is also a very special commendation.¡±


    A special commendation? These words immediately piqued the interest of many students.


    ¡°All students should be aware.¡±


    ¡°Just a week ago, our Guan Mountain District had just suffered a serious attack by Star Realm Creatures¡­¡± Principal Tan¡¯s voice was low and somber.


    At this moment, the somewhat stale atmosphere was revitalized, and many students couldn¡¯t help but look up at Principal Tan, all curious.


    A special commendation connected to a Star Realm Creatures attack?


    Even Lin Lanyue and Gu Qianghan were quite curious.


    ¡°¡­However, when an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature charged towards the crowd,¡±


    ¡°At such a critical moment, at such a crucial time, a seventeen-year-old high school student who happened to pass by, disregarding his own safety, picked up the crude weapon nearby and stood bravely between the Star Realm Creature and the innocent crowd¡­¡± Principal Tan recounted the ¡®fierce battle¡¯ that took place not so long ago with deep emotion and vivid detail.


    The thousands of students below were also quite engrossed in listening.


    It was much more interesting than the previous leaders¡¯ speeches.


    ¡°Wow! Fighting with an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature? Who is it?¡± Peng Qiqi was surprised and whispered, ¡°Lanyue, was it you?¡±


    In reality, not only Peng Qiqi but also many students from the Elite Class and other classes in the senior year looked towards Lin Lanyue.


    All the students realized.


    If Principal Tan was delivering this speech in such a manner, the student who battled the Star Realm Creature must certainly belong to their school.


    In their eyes, perhaps only Lin Lanyue had a chance of barely contending with an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature.


    Besides Lin Lanyue, who else could it be?


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head, a trace of curiosity flashing in her eyes, ¡°Who then?¡±


    Indeed, she had fought against Star Realm Creatures before, but it had always been on controlled grounds against Unranked Star Realm Creatures.


    Initiating a battle with an Entry Rank Star Realm Creature?


    Lin Lanyue admitted to herself that she did not yet possess that courage or strength.


    ¡°In the end, after a strenuous and arduous battle.¡± Principal Tan continued to speak: ¡°This seventeen-year-old student managed to kill the Star Realm Creature, saving the lives of many innocent people.¡±


    ¡°To commend this student for his bravery and outstanding contribution during the Star Realm Creature attack,¡±


    ¡°Jiang City¡¯s Martial Arts Hall, the Education Bureau, Starfire Martial Hall of Jiang City, Starry Sky Martial Hall of Jiang City¡­ have jointly decided to award him the ¡®Young Hero¡¯ role model title,¡± declared Principal Tan, his passion burning and eyes shining bright: ¡°Now.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s invite Li Yuan, a student from the senior year, class 3-2, to come up on stage,¡±


    ¡°and receive the honor of the role model title!¡±


    ¡°Wow!¡±


    ¡°Applause~¡± Instantly, the entire playground erupted with a wave-like surge of clapping.


    First and second-year students stretched their necks, full of anticipation, looking towards the direction of the podium.


    Eager to see which senior was so impressive.


    Several classes close to the senior year, class 3-2, were already staring wide-eyed at the young figure slowly stepping out from the class lineup.


    Dressed in white Martial Arts attire, the boy with a well-proportioned body and noble bearing.


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man walked calmly to the podium with a slight smile on his face, composed and collected.


    ¡­¡±Lanyue.¡±


    ¡°Li¡­ Li Yuan, he¡¯s actually gone up to the podium,¡± Peng Qiqi stared wide-eyed at the white-clad figure, somewhat mesmerized, then suddenly whispered, ¡°Do you really think Li Yuan isn¡¯t good? If you don¡¯t want him, don¡¯t fight with me for him, okay?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about that later,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s gaze was fixed on the podium, unflinching.

 Chapter 53 - 51: Generous Rewards

    Chapter 53: Chapter 51: Generous Rewards


    On the stage, a group of leaders took turns stepping forward to take photos with Li Yuan, shake hands, and offer a few words of encouragement in hushed tones.


    Most of it was just formalities.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you did well on the test, and killing that Star Realm creature really made our Martial Hall proud.¡± When it was the turn of the Left Hall Master, her face beamed like a flower as she looked at Li Yuan with eyes full of affection.


    As if she were looking at her own nephew.


    In interpersonal relationships, first impressions are extremely important.


    The Left Hall Master had an excellent first impression of Li Yuan.


    ...


    Moreover, after reviewing Li Yuan¡¯s many records upon returning last time, she was convinced that his character and temperament were top-notch.


    In her heart, Li Yuan was a junior worthy of careful cultivation.


    ¡°Thank you, Hall Master.¡± Li Yuan also wore a full smile.


    Li Yuan was well aware that his being able to create such a stir and receive the ¡®Young Hero¡¯ honor was firstly because he killed a Star Realm creature.


    However, it undoubtedly involved the behind-the-scenes operations of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Otherwise, would everyone who made a contribution certainly receive a reward?


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is Song Yi, the Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall,¡± said the Left Hall Master with a beaming introduction, ¡°Technically speaking, she¡¯s your benefactor.¡±


    Song Yi¡¯s expression changed slightly at those words, somewhat unpleasant, yet she couldn¡¯t show it.


    ¡°Greetings, Hall Master Song.¡± Li Yuan pretended to be unaware of anything and replied earnestly.


    Of course, Li Yuan knew who she was.


    He had heard Teacher Xu mention her when he agreed to sign with the Starfire Martial Hall.


    She was Zhong Cheng¡¯s direct superior and most likely the decision-maker for his D-level contract.


    ¡°Yes, the young man is quite good, keep up the hard work,¡± Hall Master Song managed to force a smile.


    When she learned that Li Yuan was the recipient of the ¡®Young Hero¡¯ title, she didn¡¯t want to attend the event.


    Nevertheless, she had to represent the Starry Sky Martial Hall because Lu Huai requested her presence.


    ¡­


    Beneath the stage, a group of journalists took photographs.


    Killing an Entry Rank Star Realm creature was actually a minor affair, but it was done by an underage high school student¡­ This was a rare highlight in the Star Realm creature attack incident.


    It held significant propaganda value.


    Meanwhile, on the field, students, whether they were from the senior or freshman year, were mostly whispering to each other.


    Much of it was praise like ¡°so impressive,¡± ¡°awesome,¡± ¡°is this senior named Li Yuan?¡± and ¡°so handsome.¡±


    If Li Yuan were only good at academics, he might not win the favor of most students; in fact, it could even breed envy.


    But to fight a life-and-death battle with a Star Realm creature?


    You see, in this era, the entire society highly revered Martial Artists who fought with Star Realm creatures, and students were no different.


    In the eyes of most students, Li Yuan¡¯s actions were more than ten times more impressive than those who ranked first in exams.


    The passion for heroism is an aspiration of youth since ancient times.


    ¡°Lanyue, are you still looking at Li Yuan?¡±


    Peng Qiqi waved her hand in front of Lin Lanyue and couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°You¡¯re gazing so intently, could it be that you¡¯ve really fallen for Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I like him.¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s gaze shifted to her best friend, and she smiled wryly, ¡°I¡¯m just reminded of some things and am feeling somewhat emotional.¡±


    ¡°What things?¡± Peng Qiqi was puzzled.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s family is not well-off,¡± Lin Lanyue said, ¡°He hasn¡¯t experienced a Spiritual Awakening of the Martial Spirit, and even though his skill talent is extremely high¡­ achieving his current success must have required a lot of effort.¡±


    Peng Qiqi was stunned.


    She had completely forgotten about that aspect.


    ¡°Like you said, he looks handsome standing on the stage,¡± Lin Lanyue continued, ¡°But when he took the initiative to fight the Star Realm creature, he must have only wanted to save people, not thinking about any rewards.¡±


    ¡°Before that, he had probably never fought a Star Realm creature.¡±


    ¡°To willingly confront one,¡± Lin Lanyue seemed to recall something and murmured thoughtfully, ¡°requires a lot of courage.¡±


    ¡°Lanyue, what are you trying to say? Do you like him or not?¡± Peng Qiqi grew more confused as she listened.


    ¡°It has nothing to do with liking him or not,¡± Lin Lanyue pinched her friend¡¯s round face, smiling, ¡°I just.¡±


    ¡°I admire him a lot.¡±


    ¡­


    After the school assembly for all students and teachers concluded, the leaders departed, and the students from each class orderly returned to their Martial Arts classrooms.


    To resume classes.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, followed Principal Tan Zhenlong to the principal¡¯s office.


    Upon entering.


    ¡°Teacher Xu? Director Li?¡± Li Yuan noticed two people already waiting there and greeted them.


    Director Li was the representative from the Education Bureau.


    ¡°Li Yuan, take a seat,¡± Principal Tan greeted Director Li and the others first, then told Li Yuan to sit down.


    Li Yuan obediently sat on an armchair and looked toward the group.


    Being called over especially for this, the matter must be far from simple.


    ¡°Director Li, why don¡¯t you speak,¡± suggested Principal Tan with a smile.


    ¡°Well, all right,¡± Director Li, dressed in a black work uniform with a square face, looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Li Yuan, the Education Bureau and the Martial Path Bureau have communicated about your case.¡±


    ¡°We called you here to inform you of a few matters.¡±


    ¡°First, Principal Tan and Teacher Xu, who specially applied for the Special Scholarship on your behalf, have gotten it approved. By tonight, before six o¡¯clock, you will receive a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins in your account,¡± Director Li smiled. ¡°It is a national reward, and it will not be taxed.¡±


    ¡°Special Scholarship?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised, a wave of excitement rising in his heart.


    500,000 Blue Star Coins!


    Immediately, Li Yuan subconsciously looked over at Teacher Xu Bo beside him.


    Li Yuan remembered, Teacher Xu had said that he had to reach the top five in his grade.


    Xu Bo nodded slightly, gesturing for Li Yuan to remain calm.


    ¡°Second, you¡¯ve earned the title of Young Hero, which is a Martial Path title. According to the rules, you qualify for extra points and will receive a 20-point boost for the Martial Arts special portion during the college entrance exam,¡± Director Li continued, ¡°But you cannot stack bonuses; if you awaken your Martial Spirit before the college entrance exam, you will have to choose one or the other.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan said, even more delighted.


    In the college entrance exams, there are many bonus items, such as Spiritual Awakening, hero titles, children of heroes and martyrs, and so on, but you cannot stack multiple bonuses.


    And Li Yuan was clear on that.


    Spiritual Awakening? From the Divine Palace panel, it seemed difficult to resonate with the seven High Rank Cultivation Methods, and Li Yuan hardly dared to hope.


    Therefore.


    That 20-point bonus became incredibly important.


    ¡°Third, in this month¡¯s Elemental Moon test, your score in Martial Arts Skills was first in the district and second in the city. Considering your situation, the district has decided to grant you an additional reward of 100,000 Blue Star Coins, to support your Martial Path cultivation,¡± Director Li said with a smile, ¡°Hope you won¡¯t find it too little.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a lot,¡± Li Yuan quickly responded, ¡°Thank you, Director.¡±


    ¡°No need to thank me,¡± Director Li replied with a smile, ¡°You should thank the nation. For a true Martial Arts genius, even without a Martial Spirit Awakening, the country offers significant support and cultivation.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    The more he practiced, the more he felt the advantages of High Rank Cultivation Methods, and if he could only continue practicing Basic Cultivation Methods, becoming a level 19 Martial Artist would be exceedingly difficult.


    It required the consumption of vast resources.


    Hence, the country wasn¡¯t easy with its support; it always chose the best among the best.


    ¡­


    After sending off Director Li, Principal Tan and Teacher Xu returned to the office.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you satisfied now?¡± Xu Bo asked with a smile.


    ¡°I was already quite satisfied before, but now I owe Teacher Xu and the Principal even more thanks,¡± Li Yuan said gratefully.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but turn to Tan Zhenlong. ¡°Principal, didn¡¯t you say last time that I had to reach the top five in the Martial Path total score of my grade to have a chance to apply for the Special Scholarship?¡±


    ¡°Top five? Did I say that?¡± Principal Tan was stunned. ¡°When did I set the bar so high? Didn¡¯t I say it was the top ten that could strive for it?¡±


    Now, it was Li Yuan¡¯s turn to be stunned.


    The Principal only required the top ten?


    ¡°Li Yuan, the Principal¡¯s memory isn¡¯t what it used to be; it¡¯s normal that he can¡¯t remember after so long,¡± Xu Bo said repeatedly.


    After that, he grabbed Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder as if a large pincer had clamped down on him.


    ¡°It¡¯s late; the Principal needs to rest, so let¡¯s not disturb him anymore.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Xu Bo, with Li Yuan, flashed out several dozen meters in an instant without even closing the door.


    ¡°Top ten?¡±


    ¡°Top five? This Xu Bo,¡± Tan Zhenlong had come to his senses, shaking his head with a chuckle, ¡°Set a high standard to achieve a middle outcome? But even then, it must be moderate.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he afraid that setting the standard too high will make Li Yuan give up?¡± the Principal mused with a hint of emotion. ¡°Nevertheless, Li Yuan really is excellent.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°With the ability to add 20 points during the college entrance exam.¡±


    ¡°Looks like, even without a Martial Spirit Awakening, Li Yuan should be able to get into one of the top five prestigious schools,¡± Principal Tan said, smiling.


    Credit for political achievements?


    At his age, he had no hopes of promotion.


    He simply wanted, in his last term, to cultivate more outstanding students.


    ¡­


    In the office building, within Xu Bo¡¯s Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°There¡¯s going to be another reward from Starfire Martial Hall?¡± Li Yuan looked at Teacher Xu with a hint of surprise.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Xu Bo, robust as Tie Ta, smiled. ¡°With such an excellent performance this time, it¡¯s only natural that Starfire Martial Hall will give you some extra rewards¡­ Signing a contract with the Martial Hall, the rewards stipulated there are set by the highest echelon of the Martial Hall, and no one can change that.¡±


    ¡°If you perform mediocrely after signing, you just go through your contract normally.¡±


    ¡°However, if you exceed expectations during that process, even if your contract level can¡¯t be elevated, the subordinate Martial Hall you belong to will also give additional rewards,¡± Xu Bo explained to Li Yuan.


    ¡°If the performance is outstanding enough, the Martial Hall might even upgrade the contract level,¡± Xu Bo continued.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, knowing only about upgrading contracts, but was not very clear on the rest.


    Li Yuan tactfully didn¡¯t ask further about the top five or top ten matters.


    He immediately understood that Teacher Xu wasn¡¯t trying to deceive him, but merely wanted to better motivate him.


    ¡°Oh, by the way.¡±


    ¡°About the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University, have you seen it?¡± Xu Bo inquired.


    ¡°Teacher Chen mentioned it, and I agreed,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°You should definitely go,¡± Xu Bo smiled, ¡°Teacher Chen isn¡¯t the head of the Martial Arts class and might not be aware, but I can tell you that this invitation isn¡¯t just organized by Jiangbei Martial Arts University alone.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°While it¡¯s at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, representatives from all five prestigious schools will be there to observe,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile.

 Chapter 54 - 52: Grateful for the Past Efforts of Myself

    Chapter 54: Chapter 52: Grateful for the Past Efforts of Myself


    ¡°People from the five prestigious schools are observing?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat curious, ¡°Is Jiangbei Martial Arts University willing?¡±


    ¡°Haha, naturally they¡¯re not too keen on the idea, but they can¡¯t stop it,¡± Xu Bo revealed a smile, ¡°After all, those five schools are much more powerful than it.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, even if they could stop it, what would it matter?¡±


    ¡°Do you think the top five hundred Martial Artist Students from the provincial exams would actively choose to enroll at Jiangbei Martial Arts University?¡± Xu Bo asked.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    That¡¯s right!


    ...


    To become a student in the Martial Arts class at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, the resources and cultivation efforts received could be comparable to those of ordinary students at the top five prestigious schools.


    But of the millions of students taking the exam province-wide, how many would believe they would be the bottom at one of those top five schools?


    Like Li Yuan himself, he also believed that despite not having a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method in the short term, as long as he could get into one of the top schools, he could rise step by step.


    ¡°Teacher, what primarily do the top five schools observe?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously, ¡°Normally, isn¡¯t it based on the score?¡±


    ¡°Not the same!¡±


    ¡°Have you seen the specific itinerary?¡± Xu Bo asked, ¡°Inside, there¡¯s a Combat Assessment.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen it,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°There are specialized skill exchanges, Combat Assessments, and other special tests,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°Do you understand the purpose of the country and even the entire Seven Star Alliance in training Martial Artists?¡±


    ¡°To kill the enemy, to protect the nation,¡± Li Yuan instinctively said.


    ¡°Right,¡± Xu Bo nodded firmly, ¡°The purpose of training Martial Artists is practical combat, to nurture powerful warriors who can fight for human civilization.¡±


    ¡°Thus, many things cannot be discerned by scores alone, they must be teased out through various events and actions.¡±


    ¡°Take the simplest example.¡±


    ¡°Some people have high talent and strong physical quality, but their mentality is flawed. They falter in life-and-death struggles, unable to display even a tenth of their strength during critical moments. Could they be a focus for key cultivation?¡± Xu Bo said with a smile.


    ¡°High scores but low ability?¡± Li Yuan immediately understood.


    ¡°Then there are some who seem to have extreme talent, but are very selfish, considering only themselves in everything,¡± Xu Bo said somberly, as if recalling something, ¡°If cultivated, they could potentially threaten human civilization for their own gain.¡±


    ¡°For their own benefit, to the threat of human civilization?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be shocked,¡± Xu Bo shook his head, ¡°Looking back in history, were such things rare? Everyone has their own selfish desires, but there¡¯s a limit which must not be exceeded.¡±


    ¡°Those who are extremely selfish, if detected by those above, will be approached with great caution regarding their cultivation.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded gently; he very much agreed with this point of view.


    ¡°As for these tests and observations, I¡¯m not worried about you,¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, ¡°I consider myself quite accurate in judging people.¡±


    Over time, Xu Bo¡¯s recognition and fondness for Li Yuan only grew stronger.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but touch his head, a bit embarrassed.


    ¡°According to the information I¡¯ve received, just from Jiang City alone, more than three hundred people will attend. For the entire province, I estimate it will be over a thousand people,¡± Xu Bo continued.


    ¡°That many?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    It was much larger in scale than what Teacher Chen had mentioned.


    Organizing an event for over a thousand people, selecting individuals from all over the province, involves a tremendous amount of manpower and resources.


    The attention given by those above to this invitation event became apparent.


    ¡°The tentative time is in March, which is before your April adjustment exam,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°You have three months, enough time to further enhance your strength.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°What you need to do is focus on cultivating and strive to perform well during the event, aiming to secure an invitation to the special training offered by the top five schools,¡± Xu Bo said earnestly.


    ¡°Special training invitation?¡± Li Yuan recalled what Teacher Chen had mentioned.


    ¡°Martial Artist Students are different from academic students.¡±


    ¡°Academic students go to university in September and are then slowly cultivated,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°But for Martial Artist Students, from the moment they fill out their preferences, as soon as the universities send out their acceptance notices around late June, the state will start distributing various resources to aid in cultivation.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    This was common knowledge.


    Why does Xia Country only recruit a little over two hundred thousand Martial Artist Students each year? Doesn¡¯t the nation want to train more?


    The reality is that the resource subsidies for each Martial Arts University student are an exorbitant figure.


    For academic university students, the state subsidizes tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins per year.


    But for Martial Arts University students, it starts at ten times that amount.


    Not just in Xia Country, but across all Seven Great Planets, a vast majority of resources from human civilization are poured into the Martial Arts Universities.


    ¡°Students at the top five schools start their schooling in early July,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°But normal initiation into cultivation and special training are different.¡±


    ¡°The special training is for those recognized as elites and will receive many resources exclusive to the university,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°If you can be selected for special training from the beginning, your chances of becoming a Second Rank Prime Warrior will greatly increase.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath and listened.


    Many things are subject to information asymmetry.


    This knowledge wouldn¡¯t be a secret for families of Martial Artists who graduated from the top five schools.


    Li Yuan? He certainly wasn¡¯t clear on this.


    After all, his uncle, Li Changzhou, had only been an ordinary student at Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    ¡°In the invitation event, those who perform excellently will be invited?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    Xu Bo said earnestly, ¡°In a sense, this is also your biggest opportunity.¡±


    ¡°Biggest opportunity?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°The normal list for special training still considers scores,¡± Xu Bo explained, ¡°For example, the top fifty in the provincial exams are a must for the special training list without exceptions; this is mandated by the national policy to prevent any personal manipulation.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, agreeing that using scores as a criterion is the right approach.


    Not letting the decision be solely at the discretion of the schools.


    Only a well-established system can ensure long-term stability and peace.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t awaken your Martial Spirit, even with a bonus of 20 points, are you confident about breaking into the top fifty in the province?¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head: ¡°No confidence.¡±


    Indeed, no confidence.


    According to the experience of previous years, the overall scores of the top fifty in the province usually exceed 1,000 points.


    ¡°The number of independent places offered by the prestigious schools isn¡¯t that many,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°Therefore, you must cherish this opportunity and show off your strengths.¡±


    ¡°For example, spiritual power, martial arts skills, actual combat¡­ strive to sign a special training contract in advance.¡±


    ¡°Your newly acquired ¡®Young Hero¡¯ title is also a boost, it will add quite a bit of luster to your profile,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile.


    This morning, when Xu Bo learned that Li Yuan had received this honor, he was very surprised and delighted.


    ¡°It was also a fluke,¡± Li Yuan said, touching his head again.


    ¡°A fluke? But you still need strength,¡± Xu Bo shook his head. ¡°When the opportunity comes, only those who are well prepared can seize it.¡±


    ¡°If it were other students, would they be able to seize it?¡±


    ¡°Surviving without being killed by Star Realm Creatures is already quite good,¡± Xu Bo remarked with emotion.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°After the invitation event ends, sign up with whichever school is willing to give you a special training spot. Don¡¯t just fixate on Kunlun Martial Arts University,¡± Xu Bo said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He had long heard that many students who performed exceptionally well in the January and April assessments were fought over by the top five prestigious schools to sign a targeted contract for college entrance preferences.


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan expressed his gratitude.


    If Xu Bo hadn¡¯t mentioned it, Li Yuan might not have paid much attention to this event, and he could have missed the opportunity.


    ¡°No need to thank me.¡±


    ¡°Only those who break into the top ten of their grade are eligible for this event,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile. ¡°The opportunity was fought for by yourself.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re going to thank anyone, thank the hard-working you of the past.¡±


    ¡°I, am merely fulfilling the responsibilities of a teacher.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s past five, go eat first to avoid having to queue up later,¡± Xu Bo waved his hand.


    ¡­


    At night, in the Wan Hua Platinum Mansion where his family lives.


    ¡°Mom, mom, look quick! Brother is on TV!!¡± Li Qianqian tugged at Chen Hui¡¯s hand, eagerly pointing to the distant projection screen.


    ¡°I¡¯m watching, I¡¯m watching,¡± Chen Hui said.


    ¡°Brother looks so cool,¡± Li Muhua¡¯s eyes widened at the projection, which showed the day¡¯s award ceremony as reported by the Jiang City television station.


    The segment wasn¡¯t long, just over twenty seconds, but it was enough to explain the entire event.


    ¡°Brother, I want to be a young hero too someday; brother, you¡¯re really cool,¡± Li Muhua looked up at Li Yuan with admiration.


    Li Yuan was about to speak.


    Smack~ a slap landed on Li Muhua¡¯s buttocks.


    ¡°You want to be what kind of hero? Do you have the strength your brother has?¡± Chen Hui scolded with a frown. ¡°Just take care of yourself, understand? If you want to be a hero, talk about it after you become a Martial Artist.¡±


    Smack~


    Another slap landed on Li Muhua¡¯s buttocks.


    ¡°Mom, that¡¯s enough, I got it, take care of myself, immediately distance myself and report to authorities in case of danger, don¡¯t join in on the chaos, don¡¯t go to crowded places, stay away from the riverbank, and the lake¡­¡± Li Muhua chuckled as he jumped up, reciting the ¡®Li family maxims.¡¯


    Li Yuan and Li Qianqian couldn¡¯t help but laugh as well.


    ¡°And you.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, such a big event, why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan with full concern: ¡°If your teacher hadn¡¯t sent me a message, I would have had no idea.¡±


    ¡°Auntie, didn¡¯t I come out alright?¡± Li Yuan said repeatedly: ¡°I thought there was no need to worry you if I was fine, so I didn¡¯t mention it. I¡¯ll definitely be more careful next time.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re thinking there will be a next time?¡±


    ¡°How would I explain it to your uncle if something happened to you?¡± Chen Hui unleashed her words like a machine gun: ¡°You were lucky this time; the Star Realm Creature you encountered wasn¡¯t strong. Can you guarantee next time that¡­¡±


    Li Yuan smiled and comforted his aunt.


    He knew his aunt meant well, worried for his safety.


    ¡­


    Late at night, the house was quiet, and Li Yuan had entered the virtual network.


    Inside the Starfire Space.


    Li Yuan glanced at the two screens before him, one for his bank account, the other for points:


    Bank balance: 1,885,340 Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 1,714,280


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 700,000


    ¡­ sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Martial Hall actually rewarded me with 200,000 Blue Star Coins this time?¡± Li Yuan looked at his bank account balance.


    He had received three transfers that day.


    He then checked the message from the Left Hall Master.


    ¡°This solves the pressing needs,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°The next few months are for vigorous cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Before the invitation event, increase my strength as much as possible.¡±

 Chapter 55 - 53 8.8 Magnitude! Third Stage 99%!

    Chapter 55: Chapter 53 8.8 Magnitude! Third Stage 99%!


    At the school commendation assembly, Li Yuan received the title of ¡°Teenage Hero¡±.


    Not only did he become a sensation throughout the school, completely overshadowing Lin Lanyue in terms of popularity, but many younger students began to see him as their idol.


    His newfound fame even spread online, thanks to various news media reports.


    Of course, it was limited to the range of Jiang City.


    January 8th, a little past ten in the morning.


    It was break time in the senior year (2) class cultural classroom.


    ...


    ¡°Brother Yuan, you¡¯ve really become famous this time,¡± Zhou Qi said excitedly as he flipped through, shouting, ¡°Look, your social media account has been dug up, and the number of fans has increased by more than a thousand.¡±


    This prompted many students to curiously look towards Zhou Qi¡¯s light screen.


    ¡°Most of those following are just watching the excitement, mainly from our school. With so many news stories these days, the hype will die down in two days.¡± Li Yuan shook his head and chuckled, ¡°Are you taking this seriously?¡±


    ¡°When I leave the school, even the owner of the noodle shop at the gate probably won¡¯t recognize me,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Zhou Qi said with a laugh, scratching his head and shutting off his smart ring watch.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, did you see the reports on the Rob Sea?¡± Yan Zhou asked from the back row, ¡°I remember you mentioned your uncle went there for work.¡±


    ¡°I saw it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s smile faded considerably, ¡°The fight was very fierce this time, and it seems it still hasn¡¯t been completely quelled up till now.¡±


    Ten days ago.


    That was two days after Jiang City was attacked by Star Realm Creatures, before the January exams, and the ¡°Rob Sea¡± in the Second Level Star Realm had erupted into an unprecedentedly fierce battle.


    It has been a headline in Xia Country and even throughout Blue Star ever since.


    Li Yuan had been paying close attention, almost sending messages daily to his uncle, Li Changzhou.


    Li Changzhou would occasionally reply with a message telling him not to worry.


    ¡°I saw in the news yesterday that from September until now, nearly ten thousand people have died in this war,¡± L¨« Tianyou said, shaking his head with a sigh, ¡°The casualties are truly terrible.¡±


    Suddenly, the atmosphere in the classroom became somewhat oppressive.


    In this age of advanced networks.


    As seniors about to face college entrance exams, they would follow various national news stories and reflect on their future choices. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Moreover, students of this era are well aware that their own fates are closely linked to the fate of the entire nation and human civilization.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it,¡± Li Yuan suddenly said with a smile, ¡°There have been so many wars before, and we always held our ground; it will definitely be the same this time.¡±


    ¡°The class is starting.¡±


    ¡°The class is starting.¡±


    The class bell rang, and many students returned to their seats, ceasing their discussions.


    ¡°Rob Sea.¡± Li Yuan sat at his desk, his gaze drifting out the window, his mind wandering.


    Northern Border Province, almost ten thousand kilometers away from Jiangbei Province.


    All is peaceful in Jiang City, while on the frontlines of the Rob Sea, war rages on¡­


    ¡­


    Life for Li Yuan settled back into its usual rhythm, following the same routine every day.


    School, home, the Guan Mountain branch of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Apart from morning academic studies, he meticulously practiced Basic Cultivation Methods and Spear Technique.


    Depending on his physical condition, he continued to purchase and consume basic Qi and blood potions and Origin Power Essence Pills.


    Day after day was a repetitive grind.


    Exceedingly mundane!


    The money in his bank account and the points in his Martial Hall account were rapidly depleting like rushing water.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength was steadily improving step by step.


    Such is the nature of Martial Arts Cultivation, or rather, the nature of reaching the pinnacle in any field.


    The moment of glory in front of others may require a decade of hard work and sweat in accumulation.


    There are no shortcuts.


    ¡­


    Before you knew it, it was February 10, 2043.


    This was Xia Country¡¯s most important traditional festival, ¡®Spring Festival¡¯, celebrated grandly not just throughout the country but across the globe.


    Even as seniors, the school had a ten-day holiday.


    At home in Wanhua Platinum Mansion.


    ¡°Come, let¡¯s toast to the new year,¡± Aunt Chen Hui said as she sat at the head of the table, with a seat next to her empty, but with the light screen projection from the smart ring watch on the table.


    Chen Hui looked towards the projection of the man, ¡°Changzhou, happy New Year.¡±


    ¡°Wife, happy New Year,¡± Li Changzhou said, smiling as he raised his water cup in the video. His face had darkened a lot, ¡°Xiao Yuan, Qianqian, Muhua, happy New Year to all.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, Auntie, happy New Year,¡± Li Yuan also said with a smile as he raised his glass.


    ¡°Dad, Mom, Brother, happy New Year.¡±


    Even though Li Changzhou was thousands of miles away, he still joined his family for the Spring Festival through video projection.


    The family was full of joy and laughter.


    After dinner.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua were cleaning up, Li Yuan went to his room. There was still some time before the Spring Festival Gala, and he wanted to seize the moment for more cultivation.


    On the couch, Chen Hui sat there.


    ¡°Changzhou.¡±


    Chen Hui held her smart ring watch, looking at her husband in the light screen projection, slightly worried, ¡°How long before you can come back? Didn¡¯t you say you would come back in January?¡±


    ¡°It will probably take another two months,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°You know, the last two months have been very tense¡­ The teams prepared to replace us are now at the Rob Sea.¡±


    ¡°They are working alongside us day and night.¡±


    ¡°Seems we¡¯ll have to wait for the next batch of people to come for the replacement,¡± Li Changzhou said.


    ¡°All right then,¡± Chen Hui nodded reluctantly, ¡°Take care of your safety.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°Since the big battle half a month ago, the military and the Martial Hall Martial Artists have been counter-attacking into the Star Realm. After such a prolonged tug of war, we should be close to victory,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°Last month was indeed dangerous, but we¡¯ve been advancing this month.¡±


    ¡°Where I¡¯m working now is on the edge of the Star Realm, but it¡¯s actually part of a large fortress behind the lines, so it¡¯s not very dangerous.¡±


    ¡°Yeah,¡± Chen Hui nodded.


    If it weren¡¯t for the knowledge that her husband was relatively safer compared to last month, her worries would only be greater.


    ¡°Try not to give them too many details,¡± Li Changzhou whispered. ¡°Especially Little Yuan. The college entrance examination is getting closer.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, I understand,¡± Chen Hui nodded.


    ¡­


    Regarding Uncle Li Changzhou¡¯s situation, Li Yuan indeed didn¡¯t know much.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t care, but Li Changzhou rarely spoke of the true situation.


    Li Yuan had always mistakenly believed that his uncle¡¯s workplace was some distance away from the Star Realm.


    After the Spring Festival, life for a senior in high school became even more tense.


    In every class, whether it was the culture classroom or the martial arts classroom, ¡®100-day countdown¡¯ signs were hung up.


    The college entrance examination was increasingly near.


    Yet Li Yuan¡¯s heart became more tranquil.


    He had always been fully dedicated to his cultivation, whether it was physical cultivation or spear technique, or even his academic studies, he never slacked off.


    ¡°The college entrance exam is just one result.¡±


    ¡°Whether the result is good or bad does not depend on whether the test is taken seriously during those three days,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But on whether every day and night of the past three years, six years, or even twelve years has been filled with sufficient effort.¡±


    ¡°With enough accumulation, success will naturally follow.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s not enough accumulation and the scores aren¡¯t high enough, anxious? Worry is futile!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart instead became purer.


    ¡­


    ¡°Brother Yuan, my physical quality has reached 4.8 levels,¡± Zhou Qi said excitedly after yet another class test. ¡°High-rank cultivation methods are really insane.¡±


    ¡°Impressive! But you can¡¯t slack off. You didn¡¯t have high physical quality before, and now that you¡¯ve awakened a high-rank cultivation method, you need to strive to catch up,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Try to improve more before the college exams.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, my goal is to reach 5.2 levels before the exams, to meet our class average,¡± Zhou Qi stated confidently.


    This is the terrifying aspect of high-rank cultivation methods.


    Absorbing Origin Power from the universe is like eating various supplements every day.


    Zhou Qi¡¯s physical quality, which was initially at the bottom of the class, had improved to nearly middle-rank within just over two months.


    Given another year to Zhou Qi.


    His physical quality level could entirely rise to the top ten of the class.


    ¡­


    March 8, 2043, inside School 4011¡¯s Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°After half a year of cultivation, your spear technique, movement technique, and fist technique have all reached the Third Stage perfection, without substantial defects anymore,¡± Xu Bo, who resembled an iron tower, said. ¡°Starting next week, you don¡¯t need to come to me for guidance anymore.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t need to come anymore?¡± Li Yuan was slightly stunned.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you everything I need to,¡± Xu Bo looked toward Li Yuan, smiling. ¡°From now on, how to break through from the Third Stage to the Fourth Stage, you¡¯ll have to find the way yourself.¡±


    ¡°I have but one last piece of advice for you.¡±


    ¡°First the body, then the heart; reach mastery through the object. Only by integrating inward and outward, can there be unity,¡± Xu Bo said earnestly.


    First the body, then the heart; reach mastery through the object?


    ¡°I have taken note, thank you, teacher, for your guidance during this time,¡± Li Yuan took note and respectfully performed a deep bow.


    If the relationship between Li Yuan and Xu Bo was just that of a common teacher-student relationship back in October of last year.


    Then, after such a long period of time, with Xu Bo¡¯s repeated earnest guidance and generous sharing.


    Their affection had surpassed the ordinary scope of a school teacher-student relationship, starting to approach that of a master and a closed-door disciple in ancient martial arts.


    The master is both teacher and father.


    Although not quite there yet, similar emotions had arisen.


    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s already very late; you should head home early,¡± Xu Bo said with a laugh as he helped Li Yuan up.


    Having spent a long time together, he had grown increasingly fond of Li Yuan.


    In the few years at Guan Mountain District¡¯s number one high school, he had taught nearly a thousand students.


    But the ones who could reach the level of emotional connection he had with Li Yuan were few and far between.


    ¡­


    Late at night, at two o¡¯clock in the morning.


    Li Yuan, who endured two hours of inhuman torture, woke up from within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    [Your spiritual power has increased from 14.9 to 15.0 levels] Li Yuan glanced at a reminder from the Divine Palace panel a few minutes ago.


    ¡°Day after day of arduous cultivation, enduring the torment of the blazing Great Sun.¡±


    ¡°My spiritual power has finally broken through to the 15.0 levels,¡± Li Yuan took a deep breath, feeling quite joyful in his heart.


    For a martial artist level, 10 and 15 are thresholds.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s subconscious, spiritual power at 15 levels must also be a threshold.


    ¡°Only a week left before the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze subconsciously swept over his Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª-


    [Life Level: 8.8 (Entry Rank)]


    Physical Quality Index: 91 (a comprehensive measurement of explosive power, endurance, speed, physique, spiritual power, and many other aspects.)

    ¡ª-


    ¡°Let¡¯s try again today, to see if I can pass the promotion match for the Fallen Star rank,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, as he got up and entered the virtual network pod.

 Chapter 56 - 54 Fallen Star Promotion Match

    Chapter 56: Chapter 54 Fallen Star Promotion Match


    Consciousness connected.


    Upon entering the virtual network, Li Yuan chose to go straight to his personal space in the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    ¡°Master, you have finally descended.¡±


    ¡°Exclusive assistant Xiao Yu, at your service,¡± the girl in white cheerfully said.


    Li Yuan smiled and went straight to the point, ¡°Display individual combat records for the ranking matches.¡±


    Shwoosh~ A holographic screen formed:


    ...


    Ranking Matches: Gold Stage.


    Points: 990 (1000 points needed to participate in the promotion matches)


    Win rate in the Stage Matches: 88%


    ¡ª¡ª


    ¡°990 points, I hope I don¡¯t face anyone from the Fallen Star Stage. It would be best to get 10 points in one go,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to waste a bit more time.¡±


    Two months ago.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique had improved to 99% of the Third Stage. A week ago, his movement technique also smoothly advanced to 99% of the Third Stage.


    Ever since his Spear Technique reached 99% at the Third Stage, Li Yuan had already been among the elite in the Gold Stage rankings on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    He often went ten ranking matches without a single loss, which sent his win rate soaring from just over 50%.


    A week ago, his movement technique reached 99% of the Third Stage.


    On the day of the ranking matches, Li Yuan achieved a horrifying streak of 56 consecutive wins, which pretty much affirmed his status as ¡®undefeated in the Gold Stage.¡¯


    Then ¡ª Li Yuan was sanctioned by the matchmaking system.


    Three matches in a row!


    In each one, Li Yuan was paired with a master from the Fallen Star Stage.


    Except for one match where he barely managed to fend off more than a dozen moves, the remaining two were straight losses, not even close to the same level.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s hand reached out to click, setting up his weaponry configuration.


    Beep¡ªMatch successful.


    ¡°You are about to enter the ranking match, your opponent is at the Gold Stage (996 points). Please prepare for combat,¡± the system warned: ¡°Entering the combat space in 10, 9¡­¡±


    ¡°996 points? Could this also be a master? Is my luck really that bad?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    A flash of light.


    Li Yuan appeared out of thin air in the center of a huge arena, with not a single spectator around.


    On the distant stage, a middle-aged man also appeared, holding a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left.


    ¡°Spear Shield?¡± Li Yuan gripped his Long Spear tightly.


    There were many Martial Artists who used a weapon combination like the knife-shield or spear-shield.


    The spear, also a Long Weapon, tended to be shorter than a spear used alone, since it was meant to be wielded with one hand, and thus, wasn¡¯t as agile.


    With a shield, survivability greatly increased, as did the margin for error in life-threatening fights.


    However.


    Those with shield weapon combinations invariably had one weakness ¡ª they weren¡¯t agile enough.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t fancy using a shield.


    With his long spear, he believed he could lay waste to everything in his path.


    ¡°Boy, once I kill you, I can participate in the promotion match,¡± the middle-aged man declared with a laugh: ¡°I¡¯ve already had ten consecutive victories today.¡±


    ¡°Ten consecutive victories?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the middle-aged man nodded, saying with confidence: ¡°You won¡¯t be a match for me. You might as well just surrender now to avoid being killed and taking a mental blow.¡±


    In the Stage Matches, it was permitted to surrender proactively.


    The advantage was that one¡¯s mind wouldn¡¯t take damage, but the downside was that the point deduction would be more severe.


    ¡°Uncle, I know why you matched with me,¡± Li Yuan suddenly cracked a smile.


    ¡°Why?¡± the middle-aged man asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Because the system sent me to sanction you!¡± Li Yuan laughed loudly, his figure suddenly moved, shooting out like a swimming dragon.


    Strength, speed, both fully unleashed!


    ¡°This fast? Does he have a Physical Quality of 8.0?¡± the middle-aged man was instantly shocked, realizing that this seemingly young opponent was not to be trifled with.


    In the virtual network, one could freely alter their face and outfit.


    However, to prevent fraudulent activities, each person¡¯s identity information was bound, and they were not allowed to change their gender, and changes to their appearance could not exceed a five-year age difference.


    Boom! The middle-aged man moved as well, instantly springing into action. Having made it to over nine hundred points in the Gold Stage, his skills were not inferior.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    The middle-aged man used his shield to block, changing his steps and angling his body, trying to deflect Li Yuan¡¯s thrusting spear to the side.


    ¡°Bang!¡± sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The spear made contact with the shield.


    ¡°Blocked it,¡± the middle-aged man had just revealed a brief smile when a look of shock appeared on his face.


    ¡°Rip~¡±


    The big spear that should have made a powerful impact against the shield seemed to carry little force and stuck to it instead.


    Then, the spear tip retracted, scraping along the shield, and let out a piercing noise.


    The next instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The Long Spear that had retracted half a meter in a flash, lunged forward again like lightning, aiming a Straight Thrust.


    It already bypassed the middle-aged man¡¯s shield.


    Such a lightning-fast spear technique was too quick for the middle-aged man, who felt a sense of dread.


    At that moment between life and death.


    ¡°I¡¯ll stab too!¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s long spear suddenly left his hand, propelling directly toward his target.


    With this strike.


    If Li Yuan were to thrust straight at the middle-aged man, he would certainly be pierced through the chest and killed, resulting in a likely tie.


    ¡°Clang~¡±


    Li Yuan, without any hesitation, retracted his spear and stepped back, channeling his vigor throughout his body, unleashing a terrifying force that knocked the flying spear away.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± As the spear flew off, it heavily struck into the ground outside the arena.


    And on the stage.


    ¡°Bang!¡± After deflecting the spear, Li Yuan spun his long spear and executed ¡°Steady as Mount Tai,¡± bringing it down fiercely on the middle-aged man.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The middle-aged man defended with his shield, feeling a terrifying force bearing down on him, involuntarily stepping backward.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Li Yuan retracted his spear, stepped back to unload the force, then changed his footing and launched a central-level thrust at his opponent, the spear striking like lightning.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Bang~¡± ¡°Boom~¡± The sounds of consecutive impacts echoed.


    The middle-aged man, holding the shield with one hand, became even more agile, successively blocking Li Yuan¡¯s spear attacks.


    After all, he was also a skilled practitioner with over 900 points in the Gold Stage, whether it was his movement technique or shield technique, both were of Third Stage high-rank level.


    But!


    Strong as he was, Li Yuan was stronger. Whether it was physical control or mental acuity, or even his movement technique and weapon handling, Li Yuan had achieved the Third Stage to perfection.


    ¡°Pfft~¡±


    On the nineteenth spear thrust, Li Yuan finally seized his chance, blasting the shield aside and piercing directly through the middle-aged man¡¯s throat.


    Blood splattered.


    ¡°I lost?¡±


    ¡°So brutal, where does this Martial Path genius hail from?¡± These were the middle-aged man¡¯s last thoughts, his body instantly vanished from the spot.


    ¡°Not bad shield work.¡±


    ¡°But the coordination with the spear isn¡¯t quite there, and the control over the body is lacking,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, instinctively critiquing his opponent: ¡°Unable to unleash the full strength of the body.¡±


    Li Yuan had defeated hundreds of such opponents in the past month or two.


    At this moment.


    Li Yuan received a system notification: ¡°Congratulations, Guardian¡¤Yuan¡­ Points +10.¡±


    ¡°Your stage points have reached 1000, and cannot increase further, would you like to participate in the advancement test?¡± the system asked again: ¡°Friendly reminder, the cooldown for the advancement test is one week.¡±


    ¡°If you fail, you will lose 50 points.¡±


    ¡°If successful, you will permanently advance to the Fallen Star Stage.¡±


    The rules were always reminded once.


    ¡°Participate in the advancement test,¡± Li Yuan made his choice.


    Buzz~


    His figure instantly disappeared from the arena.


    ¡­


    This was a small sea island, shaded by green trees, with tumultuous waves in the distance.


    ¡°This is the fifth time.¡±


    ¡°I wonder, now that I have perfected Third Stage movement technique, do I have a chance of passing this time?¡± Dressed in light armor and holding a long spear, Li Yuan appeared on the island, scanning his surroundings.


    This was his fifth visit.


    Swiftly.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Sounds came from the distant jungle, as twelve humanoid creatures quickly emerged.


    They varied in height, the tallest over one meter eighty, the shortest around one meter seventy, all with four arms, their skin a bluish tint, their hands and feet tipped with sharp talon-like claws, and their backs adorned with fin-like tails.


    ¡°Fish Spirit Clan,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Indeed.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network¡¯s advancement tests were not matchups against other martial artists, but battles against ¡®Star Realm Creatures¡¯ set by the system.


    For each stage advancement, there were various Star Realm Creatures to choose from.


    Every time Li Yuan came here, he chose the Fish Spirit Clan.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Howl~¡± ¡°Waah~¡± Upon seeing Li Yuan, all twelve Fish Spirit Clan¡¯s eyes turned blood-red, their bodies surged with energy as they swung their blade-like arms and charged toward Li Yuan.


    As if they had encountered their mortal enemies.


    ¡°Every visit, it feels so real, this virtual network setting, they¡¯ve even maxed out these simulated creatures¡¯ sense of hatred,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Amidst these thoughts, Li Yuan met them head-on with a lightning-fast spear, his form shifting as he thrust toward the tallest Fish Spirit Clan member.


    The long spear trailed afterimages.


    Thrusting straight at the adversary¡¯s throat.


    ¡°Clang!¡± The Fish Spirit Clan member reacted swiftly, slashing at Li Yuan¡¯s spear with its clawed arm, making contact.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    With variable spear techniques, Li Yuan was incredibly fluid, clashing three times with the creature¡¯s claws and taking advantage of the gap between its four arms to thrust straight into its chest like lightning.


    ¡°Spurt~¡±


    Blood spurted out as Li Yuan¡¯s spear pierced through the chest of the Fish Spirit Clan member, causing its body to stagger immediately.


    Yet, Li Yuan did not follow through to kill it at once. Instead, he swiftly withdrew his spear, his weapon swinging like a heavy stick, sweeping to the right to block a vicious swipe of a claw.


    There were twelve of them, after all.

 Chapter 57 - 55 Breakthrough! Global [996]

    Chapter 57: Chapter 55 Breakthrough! Global [996]


    ¡°`


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s long spear kept changing, blocking the three claw strikes in succession.


    Then, with a sudden roll, his figure was incredibly agile, once again avoiding the combined attack of two claws.


    It was extremely dangerous.


    ¡°Pfft~¡± as he sprang up from the roll, Li Yuan casually thrust back, the spearhead piercing the eye socket of a Fish Spirit Clan member who couldn¡¯t dodge in time.


    ...


    As he withdrew as soon as he struck, the spear tip had already churned through the brain.


    Bang~ The creature fell over.


    ¡°Kill Count +1.¡± the system notification sounded.


    Compared with his previous four attempts at the promotion battles, there had been no essential progress in Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique.


    The greatest improvement was his movement technique, which allowed him to face the siege of these Fish Spirit Clan members with more composure.


    ¡°Too clumsy,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°In terms of physical quality, these Fish Spirit Clan members should all be at least Eighth Level or even close to Ninth Level, much stronger than me.¡±


    ¡°But their skills are estimated to be at the peak of the Second Stage.¡±


    If it were one on one, Li Yuan could kill a Fish Spirit Clan member at first contact.


    But there were too many of them.


    Even ants can overwhelm an elephant, let alone these Fish Spirit Clan members whose claw swipes carry the force of over a thousand kilograms.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Howl!!¡± The Fish Spirit Clan warriors roared, seemingly more furious as they saw their comrades being killed, their bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Yuan, seeking to kill him.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    ¡°Pffht!¡± While evading and blocking, Li Yuan would occasionally burst out with his spear.


    Most of the time, Li Yuan was on the defensive.


    But, whenever he found an opportunity to strike with his spear, the Fish Spirit Clan would be either dead or injured.


    ¡°They may seem numerous, but due to spatial constraints, at most three or four can attack me at a time,¡± Li Yuan kept counterattacking by using their force.


    Time ticked away.


    ¡°Kill Count +1¡±


    ¡°Kill Count +1¡± the system kept reminding.


    In less than a minute, six Fish Spirit Clan members lay in a pool of blood, and the pressure on Li Yuan was steadily decreasing.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Waaah~¡± One of the Fish Spirit Clan members suddenly let out a strange cry, its four arms waving wildly, its claws like knives, grazing the endpoint of Li Yuan¡¯s long spear.


    ¡°Bang~¡± The spear shaft was forced to move in a different way, exceeding what Li Yuan had anticipated. His arms went numb from the shock, and his dodging body involuntarily slowed down by half a beat.


    Being half a beat slow in a life-or-death fight means the difference between life and death.


    ¡°Hoof!¡±


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± A series of emerald figures leaped toward Li Yuan, giving him no space to break out of the encirclement.


    No fewer than six claw strikes, sharp as blades, were swooping in from all directions simultaneously.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Thump!¡±


    Li Yuan wielded the spear, swinging it twice to block two claw strikes, only to feel a terrifying force hitting his back.


    It was as if he had taken a brutal chop! Li Yuan¡¯s entire body went numb, blood churning inside him.


    ¡°Pfft~¡± A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan steadied his stance, desperately mobilized the vigor throughout his body, and surged forward with the flow of the claw attack to avoid the claw that was swooshing in right after.


    However, more claws were coming down, exactly when Li Yuan¡¯s old strength had faded and new strength hadn¡¯t yet formed.


    ¡°This is bad,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s scalp tingled.


    He felt a sense of mortal danger.


    In his previous four attempts at the promotion battles, the first two times he was beaten to death as soon as he arrived.


    The third time he killed three members of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    The fourth time he killed five members of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    He had thought that with his improvement in mobility, he had a chance to break through, but Li Yuan realized he had still underestimated the difficulty of the Fallen Star promotion battle.


    After killing six Fish Spirit Clan members, the remaining six seemed to enter a berserk mode, displaying even more exaggerated speed and strength.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°I need to be faster! Even faster!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were faintly red as he let go of all restraints, knowing he was unlikely to escape and exerting all his strength to execute his spear technique.


    In that instant, Li Yuan felt as if the blood in his body was boiling.


    It was as if it was the natural burst of instinct in the face of death.


    All the vigor in his body seemed to be activated, with spirit, will, and body simultaneously exploding to their limits, reaching a mysteriously harmonious realm.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    At that moment, Li Yuan felt as though he had broken through some kind of limit in his control of his body, breaking free of shackles.


    The transfer of power throughout his body became wonderfully fluid, a sensation Li Yuan had never experienced before.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s spear suddenly increased in speed, carrying a much greater force with it.


    In an instant, the spear tip traced a semicircle through the air.


    ¡°Puff!¡± ¡°Puff!¡± A sweep of the spear cleared away one claw, and the spear tip directly grazed the throats of two Fish Spirit Clan members, blood splashing.


    ¡°Kill Count +1¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Kill Count +1¡±


    Two consecutive system notifications flashed by.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Bang~¡± Several other attacks from the Fish Spirit Clan finally arrived, their sharp claws viciously slashing at Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    One claw, in particular, was exceedingly precise, whooshing through the air and ferociously aiming for Li Yuan¡¯s neck.


    With a splurch! Li Yuan felt the world spinning around him.


    Agonizing pain transmitted to his consciousness and he instantly vanished from where he was.


    Fallen Star advancement match, fifth challenge failed.


    Kill count, eight!


    ¡­


    Inside his personal space on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    ¡°I.¡±


    ¡°What just happened?¡± Li Yuan stood dumbfounded on the spot, not the least bit disheartened by his failure in the Fallen Star advancement match.


    On the contrary, his eyes were filled with excitement and joy.


    ¡°That last burst with my spear?¡± Li Yuan reminisced about that spear thrust.


    In the moment between life and death.


    Under that unprecedented oppression, all Li Yuan wanted was to be faster! Even faster!


    There was no deliberate move execution, only a desperate ¡®bite off a chunk of the opponent even in death¡¯ frenzy.


    In this state of madness, Li Yuan channeled his vigor throughout his body, achieving a truly perfect, complete state.


    Because of this, he was able to turn the tides in his bleakest moment and strike down two members of the Fish Spirit Clan.


    ¡°The transmission of vigor was flawless, without the slightest obstruction,¡± thought Li Yuan.


    His gaze swept across the Divine Palace panel in his field of view, looking at the section regarding his skill realm.


    ¡ª¡ª


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Third Stage 99%), Movement Technique (Third Stage 99%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 0%)


    ¡ª¡ª


    ¡°The realm, it really broke through,¡± he said.


    ¡°Fist Technique, it has stepped into the Fourth Level,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled: ¡°Fist Technique is a fusion of body and mind, a focus on the control of one¡¯s physique, it was bound to be the first skill to break through.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    Li Yuan finally couldn¡¯t help but burst into hearty laughter, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration: ¡°My Fist Technique has been at Third Stage 99% for three or four months.¡±


    ¡°My Spear Technique reached Third Stage 99% two months ago.¡±


    ¡°In these past few months, I have been training my Spear Technique like a madman,¡± said Li Yuan, with a glint in his eyes: ¡°But I¡¯ve been unable to break through, struggling to get a grip on it.¡±


    ¡°Just last night, my teacher told me to try and figure it out on my own, saying I might break through at any time.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it.¡±


    ¡°So soon, just a single advancement match, and I¡¯ve already broken through?¡± Li Yuan felt incredibly satisfied.


    Failure in the advancement match, a breakthrough in Martial Arts Skills.


    Li Yuan knew that it wasn¡¯t a breakthrough amidst life and death, since it was all virtual combat, and deep down, he knew there was no real danger of death.


    Being able to break through was more due to the countless previous spear and fist practices, the accumulation of experience, comprehension, and a little bit of¡ªluck.


    From this breakthrough, he stepped into a completely new realm.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, Master, you¡¯ve broken into the top 1000 of the Blue Star Junior Rankings,¡± the maiden beside him giggled: ¡°Your current ranking is 996.¡±


    ¡°996?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His eyes had just scanned a system notification.


    ¡°Guardian ¡¤ Yuan, you killed eight Guardians in the advancement match. Your ranking on the Blue Star Junior Rankings has risen from [1132] to [996] globally, [243] in the Xia Country District, and [9] in the Jiangbei region.¡±


    Li Yuan, previously too excited, had focused solely on himself and missed this message.


    ¡°996?¡±


    Li Yuan murmured to himself: ¡°That uncle I met earlier also had 996 points.¡±


    ¡°Could it be, I have a special connection with 996 today?¡±


    ¡°But I clearly ended up with 007.¡± After joking about himself, Li Yuan ceased paying attention to the ranking.


    996th place?


    This ranking on the Blue Star Junior Rankings is based on stage points and performance in the advancement matches.


    His previous four attempts at advancement matches each caused his ranking to soar.


    This time, he had successfully entered the global top thousand.


    This was already an astonishing ranking.


    After all, Li Yuan¡¯s gaze passed over a data display regarding the Blue Star Junior Rankings: the listed number for the 2042-2043 period was ¡®36,874¡¯ individuals.


    In the span of half a year.


    The Blue Star Junior Rankings had skyrocketed from just over four thousand people when Li Yuan first joined the list to over thirty thousand.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t see the specific list, but he could see the totals.


    This was to ensure every Martial Path prodigy on the list had a general understanding of their own position, to prevent undue arrogance.


    ¡°If I could have another go at the advancement match, I should be able to pass the Fallen Star stage match,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Too bad there¡¯s no chance left.¡±


    Failure in an advancement match meant a cooldown period of seven days.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, on the Blue Star Junior Rankings, how many have reached the Fallen Star stage now?¡± Li Yuan casually asked.


    ¡°As of today, there are 164,¡± the girl in blue, Xiao Yu, answered: ¡°The names cannot be disclosed.¡±

 Chapter 58 - 56: Senior Brother, I Recommend Someone to You

    Chapter 58: Chapter 56: Senior Brother, I Recommend Someone to You


    ¡°`


    ¡°164th place? That¡¯s six more than last week,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Li Yuan had to admit, his Martial Arts Skills had indeed improved quickly.


    But when looking at the number of martial arts geniuses globally, there were still a lot of them.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, is there any extra reward for reaching the top 1,000 worldwide?¡± Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    ¡°Nope,¡± the girl answered. ¡°However, according to Master¡¯s age, as long as you reach the Fallen Star stage before turning 18, you can get a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, but his goal was not the 500,000 Blue Star Coins rewarded by the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    The most important thing was the A-level contract with the Martial Hall.


    ¡°To upgrade from a B-level contract to an A-level, one of the three criteria is to reach 300 points in the Fallen Star stage of the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, looking forward to it.


    Once the contract was upgraded, the many resources granted by the Martial Hall would soar significantly.


    The total value was at least tens of millions of Blue Star Coins.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts shifted, and he exited the virtual network.


    ¡­


    It was a little past three in the morning.


    Like in the past, Li Yuan arrived at school early.


    In the Martial Arts Room 4011, the lights were fully turned on, and the recording and skills¡¯ analysis functions were all activated as well.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Li Yuan stood at the center of the Martial Arts Room, beginning to practice the Solid Rock Fist Technique.


    He stood there like an immovable boulder, and as he moved dynamically, his fists and palms alternated.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Every now and then, the Martial Arts Room would resound with explosive sounds caused by the movement of air.


    Solid Rock Foundation Initiation, Steady as a Pillar, Hidden Dragon in the Gorge, Millstone Push, Stone Bears All Life, Rock Anchors the Universe¡­ These were moves of the Fist Technique that Li Yuan had practiced thousands of times before.


    Performing them today, however, he felt a completely different sensation.


    ¡°Rustle~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was utterly tranquil.


    In the midst of practicing the Fist Technique, he quietly felt the flow of blood in his body like a rushing river, sensed the powerful beating of his heart, and even more so the layered transfer of muscle strength and the connection of tendons and flesh.


    All his vigor converged into the Great Dragon of his spine¡­ With Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power, he could deeply sense all of this.


    Every bit of strength in his body was under his control.


    With just a thought, he could perfectly maneuver his body¡¯s power without wasting an iota.


    Everything within his body was under his ¡®perception¡¯ as if he had an extra pair of eyes inside.


    ¡°Is this what the teacher referred to as ¡®internal vision¡¯?¡± Li Yuan marveled silently: ¡°In ancient traditional martial arts, this is precisely the grandmaster realm that countless martial artists sought.¡±


    The times were different.


    In ancient times, without Cultivation Methods, without various cultivating instruments, and certainly without something as miraculous as the virtual network, reaching the grandmaster realm was extremely difficult for martial artists.


    This was the pinnacle of ancient martial arts.


    But in today¡¯s Advanced Martial Era, the grandmaster realm? Though still a milestone in the Martial Arts Realm.


    Among countless Martial Artists, this realm was hardly a secret.


    ¡°In the past.¡±


    ¡°With my powerful spiritual power, I could also vaguely sense the subtleties of my body¡¯s muscles, bones, and tendons.¡±


    Li Yuan carefully felt and familiarized himself with it: ¡°However, it was not as clear as it is now.¡±


    ¡°Internal vision allows me to control every bit of strength in my body and to clearly perceive the state of every corner of my body.¡±


    ¡°This means that when I next practice the Basic Cultivation Method, the efficiency will be even higher,¡± Li Yuan thought with great joy.


    Why does the Martial Arts Cultivation of the entire human civilization place such importance on Martial Arts Skills?


    Because it is indeed important.


    It¡¯s fundamental.


    For example, one of the three requirements to become a Second Rank Prime Warrior is for Martial Arts Skills to reach the Fourth Stage. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has improved from Fourth Stage 0% to Fourth Stage 1%]


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has improved from Fourth Stage 1% to Fourth Stage 2%]


    One prompt after another flashed on the Divine Palace panel.


    After two more hours, Li Yuan repeatedly practiced the Fist Technique, taking breaks to stand in stakes intermittently.


    He had pushed his Fist Technique Realm up to Fourth Stage 5% before coming to a stop.


    ¡°The force is now perfected.¡±


    ¡°Control is at a level of subtlety,¡± Li Yuan revealed a trace of a smile: ¡°Having just made a breakthrough, I managed to significantly improve my Fist Technique Realm with a bit of consolidation.¡±


    ¡°Progressing beyond this will become increasingly difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t in a hurry to practice his Spear Technique, as the premise of Body-Mind-Weapon Integration is the unity of body and mind.


    As long as his Fist Technique Realm is high enough, his Movement Technique will naturally enter the Fourth Stage, and with a bit of practice, his Spear Technique can break through as well.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Like many martial arts grandmasters, they never really practiced with weapons much in their lifetimes, but any weapon that came into their hands would have an effect that would transform the decayed into the miraculous.


    Why?


    Because their unity of body and mind had reached an extremely high level, that is, the perfection of the Fourth Stage.


    Thus, any weapon they picked up, after a brief familiarization, could quickly unleash the standard of Fourth Stage martial arts skills.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan did not know that when he surged into Blue Star¡¯s youth rankings, into the global top 1000.


    The system of the Starry Skies Fighting Network had already automatically sent the relevant documents to Xia Country¡¯s Martial Arts Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, and Starfire Martial Hall.


    The top 1000 were in fact those under key observation, especially those with vast improvements like Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    At eleven o¡¯clock in the morning, at the Starry Sky Martial Hall, Guan Mountain branch.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    ¡°Lu Huai! You absolute jerk!!¡± Dressed in rather dazzling attire, Song Yi slammed the teacup in her hand onto the ground, where tea and shards flew in all directions.


    The scene she had just been called into by Lu Huai lingered in her mind.


    He handed over the documents about Li Yuan.


    Then, he said in a casual tone, ¡°Hall Master Song, regarding the matter of Li Yuan signing a contract ahead of time, I personally feel you were somewhat inconsiderate. If the higher-ups pursue accountability in the future, you should brace yourself mentally.¡±


    It seemed as if there was no scolding.


    But such words were already a severe accusation of her ¡®negligence¡¯.


    ¡°It¡¯s just the global top 1000, what¡¯s so great about that?¡± Song Yi gritted her teeth. ¡°It¡¯s not as if his Spear Technique has broken through to the Fourth Stage, deserving such a big fuss. And he specifically had to call me over?¡±


    But in reality.


    Song Yi was feeling some regret in her heart.


    Although she could not see each specific battle scene of Li Yuan, the documents sent to the Martial Hall had already detailed Li Yuan¡¯s recent combat record and win rate.


    An 88% win rate at the Gold Stage!


    A winning streak of over fifty matches at the highest.


    How exaggerated was that? It was enough to prove that Li Yuan¡¯s martial arts skills had reached the perfection of the Third Stage, only a hair¡¯s breadth from stepping into the Fourth Stage Realm.


    If it were just a seventeen-year-old¡¯s perfection of Third Stage skills, that wouldn¡¯t be too extraordinary.


    The key point is, a year ago, Li Yuan was still at the Silver Stage with Second Stage skills on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    This rate of progress was terrifying.


    Over so many years, Song Yi had not seen such a formidable martial arts prodigy in Guan Mountain District.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    ¡°Perfection of the Third Stage? How many martial artists are stuck at this step? And it¡¯s uncertain whether they can break through before the age of eighteen,¡± Song Yi thought to herself. ¡°Besides, even if he breaks through, so what? Without awakening the Martial Spirit to become a Prime Warrior, who knows how many years that would take.¡±


    Her irritation stemmed from feeling embarrassed.


    And because of that, she was annoyed with Li Yuan.


    However, Song Yi never considered harming Li Yuan. While competition existed between different Martial Halls, they were more cooperative than competitive overall, all sharing the same goal¡ªto fight for human civilization.


    ¡­


    At the Starfire Martial Hall, Guan Mountain branch.


    On the twelfth floor.


    ¡°Li Yuan, in the global top 1000 of the Blue Star youth rankings?¡± Dressed in traditional Chinese attire, Hall Master Wan looked at the document in his hands, slightly surprised. ¡°So soon?¡±


    After a brief moment of thought.


    Wan Qinghe communicated with Xu Bo to inquire in detail about Li Yuan¡¯s various cultivation aspects.


    He then called coach Xing to inquire about Li Yuan¡¯s recent status at the Martial Hall.


    Having completed all this.


    ¡°This Li Yuan is truly an uncut gem,¡± Wan Qinghe, looking at the compiled information in his hands, was somewhat surprised. ¡°With so little resources, his physical quality has also improved so quickly?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that he is actually the kind of individual with top-tier physical talent, who just lacked the appropriate high-rank Cultivation Methods?¡± Wan Qinghe speculated in his heart.


    But he was not certain.


    After pondering for a while.


    Wan Qinghe activated his smart wristband and selected a prominently marked contact from his list.


    He dialed.


    Beep¡ªbeep¡ªcall connected.


    Hum~ a holographic screen formed, showing a burly man holding a combat saber, his presence formidable.


    ¡°Brother Wan, what¡¯s the rush to find me? What¡¯s the matter?¡± the burly man asked jocularly.


    ¡°Ninth Senior Brother.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Kunlun Martial Arts University about to conduct a special training invitation inspection in Jiangbei Province?¡± Hall Master Wan spoke with great respect. ¡°I¡¯d like to recommend someone to you in advance.¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 59 - 57 Bad News! Second Level War Alert!

    Chapter 59: Chapter 57 Bad News! Second Level War Alert!


    ¡°You¡¯re recommending someone to me?¡±


    The burly man known as Ninth Junior Brother to Hall Master Wan looked surprised and placed his combat saber aside, pondering, ¡°Have you returned from the Ruins Star Realm, Wan disciple?¡±


    The Ruins Star Realm was a star realm in the southern seas of Xia Country, also a Second Level Star Realm, but far less famous than Rob Sea.


    Wan Qinghe had been adventuring in the Ruins Star Realm for a long time.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been back for over half a year and forgot to mention it to Ninth Junior Brother,¡± Hall Master Wan said with a smile: ¡°I have returned to Jiang City and now I am the Hall Master of a Fifth Level Martial Hall.¡±


    ...


    Ninth Junior Brother not knowing his current situation did not surprise Hall Master Wan.


    Their master was one of Xia Country¡¯s top Martial Path powerhouses, possessing not just the ability of Flying Heaven but could also be considered one of Kunlun Martial Arts University¡¯s ¡®cornerstones.¡¯


    Hall Master Wan was lucky to be accepted as a nominal disciple back in the day.


    The burly man in the video, however, was a direct disciple.


    In terms of age, Hall Master Wan was a year older than the burly man and had entered the university a year earlier, but according to the rules, all nominal disciples must call direct disciples ¡®Senior Brother.¡¯


    The distinctions between nominal disciples and direct disciples were crystal clear.


    The gap in status was enormous.


    Moreover, with many years passed, the gap in their strengths had grown even wider, and they had not interacted much in nearly a decade.


    ¡°Wan disciple, you should know that even though I am the ¡®Eight Institutes¡¯ vice president, I¡¯m only in charge of teaching. The inspection trip to Jiangbei Province was not led by me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not directly responsible for recruitment; at most, I offer suggestions,¡± the burly man said carefully: ¡°If his martial arts talents and strengths are not outstanding enough, he won¡¯t pass the school¡¯s final review.¡±


    He subconsciously thought that Hall Master Wan wanted to use his influence, and he wasn¡¯t too keen on it.


    Nor did he want to strain their relationship.


    After all, when he¡¯d just been accepted by their teacher, Hall Master Wan had helped him quite a bit.


    ¡°Haha, rest assured, Ninth Senior Brother,¡± Hall Master Wan revealed a smile: ¡°I don¡¯t mean to trouble you, on the contrary, I truly wish to recommend a promising talent to you.¡±


    ¡°The one I¡¯m recommending is seventeen and a half, and his Martial Arts Skills have already reached Third Stage Perfection,¡± Hall Master Wan quickly said: ¡°Yesterday, he broke into the top 1000 of the Blue Star youth rankings.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, his spiritual power talent is extremely high, I estimate he can already compare to 13th or 14th Level Martial Artists,¡± Hall Master Wan finished in one breath.


    He laid out all of Li Yuan¡¯s strengths.


    ¡°Oh?¡± The burly man showed a hint of surprise: ¡°From what you say, this youngster indeed sounds outstanding.¡±


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not right.¡±


    The burly man suddenly expressed doubt: ¡°Wan disciple, based on what you said, he has the potential to aim for Starfire University. Why seek me out?¡±


    ¡°Does he have a physical disability? Missing an arm or legs?¡± Ninth Senior Brother inquired: ¡°Or are there other defects?¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother is perceptive,¡± Hall Master Wan said with a wry smile: ¡°He has not awakened his Martial Spirit.¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s it,¡± the burly man understood instantly.


    Martial Spirit was one of the most important indicators to measure martial arts talent, if not the most important.


    This could be glimpsed from how much it factored into the college entrance exam scores.


    ¡°This kid, based on what you say, may not find it too difficult to spend hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins to become a Prime Warrior with some extra resources,¡± said the burly man: ¡°But without a suitable High Rank Cultivation Method, forget about becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, it would be difficult to even break through Level 25.¡±


    ¡°It is difficult,¡± agreed Hall Master Wan.


    Yet Hall Master Wan silently muttered that Ninth Senior Brother really set his sights high, mentioning Level 25 when Hall Master Wan himself hadn¡¯t reached Level 25 yet.


    But Wan understood that Ninth Senior Brother was only a step away from becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°With such high mastery of techniques and strong spiritual power, logically, as long as the compatibility exceeds 80%, he would have the hope of sensing Cosmic Origin Power through a Cultivation Method,¡± the burly man frowned: ¡°His age is also approaching the limit¡­ There¡¯s a ninety-nine percent chance that our human civilization¡¯s seven major High Rank Cultivation Methods don¡¯t suit him.¡±


    ¡°If he wants to achieve great success in the future, he must create a High Rank Cultivation Method that suits himself,¡± the burly man said with a hint of regret in his voice.


    The burly man¡¯s vision was indeed high.


    He knew very well that to date, the human civilization¡¯s seven major High Rank Methods were mostly developed by Flying Heaven Warriors, even those at the very pinnacle, through their personal experience and repeated experiments, gradually summarizing them over time.


    Creating a High Rank Cultivation Method, even if it was the most basic one tailored only to himself, would be extremely difficult for a Prime Warrior.


    Throughout the entire human civilization, such genius individuals were also rare.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very difficult,¡± Hall Master Wan acknowledged the difficulty of creating one¡¯s own Cultivation Method: ¡°But he truly is a promising seed, at least there¡¯s a great hope for him to become a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior?¡± The burly man pondered for a moment: ¡°Here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do, Wan disciple. Send me his detailed information.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll speak to Teacher Fan Jin for you and ask him to pay attention to this matter.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Fan Jin? Is he the visiting teacher coming to Jiangbei this time?¡± Hall Master Wan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Fan Jin was one of the teachers who had taught Hall Master Wan in the past.


    ¡°Hmm, there are eight teachers organizing the inspection trip to Jiangbei, one from each of the Eight Institutes,¡± the burly man said with a smile: ¡°You also know that Jiangbei Province is one of the provinces where Kunlun Martial Arts University recruits the largest number of students.¡±


    Hall Master Wan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The five renown schools of Xia Country, each year, recruit about two thousand students each, a total of ten thousand.


    Out of which, about five hundred are recruited in Jiangbei Province alone, with Kunlun Martial Arts University recruiting more than 300 of them.


    However, those who make it to the special training list don¡¯t exceed 15% of the admitted students.


    ¡°As long as the kid is as you say, with decent Martial Arts Skills and spiritual power, he should have no problem getting on the special training list,¡± the burly man didn¡¯t finish his thought.


    ¡°Thank you for the trouble, Ninth Senior Brother,¡± said Hall Master Wan.


    He disconnected the communication.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°I have done all I could for you,¡± Hall Master Wan sighed inwardly: ¡°I hope you can seize this opportunity.¡±


    After a moment of thought.


    Hall Master Wan sent a message to Xu Bo.


    ¡­


    In the daytime, just after one in the afternoon.


    After lunch, Li Yuan arrived outside Xu Bo¡¯s office, the door was open.


    ¡°Teacher, you were looking for me,¡± Li Yuan stood at the doorway.


    He had just received Xu Bo¡¯s V-Chat message and came straight away.


    ¡°Come in first,¡± Xu Bo stood by the window.


    He was gazing at the cherry blossoms that were gradually blooming along the sides of the road outside.


    Every year, in March and April, it was the time when Jiang City¡¯s cherry blossoms bloomed and attracted people from all over the country to visit and play.


    ¡°You¡¯ve entered the top one thousand of the Blue Star Youth Rankings, haven¡¯t you?¡± Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Your progress is faster than I expected.¡±


    ¡°Teacher knows?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    He had only tried the advancement match after two in the morning.


    ¡°News from Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Xu Bo said and then roughly told Li Yuan about Lord Wan contacting Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    ¡°A dean from Kunlun Martial Arts University?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    Martial Arts University is incomparable to an ordinary cultural university.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, one had to at least be a Prime Warrior to hold a position in any ordinary Martial Arts University.


    A dean? Definitely a big shot.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure who it is, but Lord Wan really has you in mind.¡±


    ¡°For this invitation event, the observer from Kunlun Martial Arts University will probably come to assess you specifically,¡± Xu Bo instructed, ¡°Prepare well and seize the opportunity.¡±


    ¡°The student understands,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    He immediately realized this was a rare opportunity.


    Perhaps, if he just demonstrated his strength normally, he could get an invitation for special training from the top five prestigious schools.


    But with additional attention, it would naturally be easier.


    ¡°What a pity,¡± Xu Bo suddenly sighed a little.


    ¡°Teacher, what is it?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°I just think, if you had awakened your Martial Spirit and had the bonus of Spiritual Nature, you might have even had a chance at Starry Sky University or Starfire University,¡± Xu Bo said, looking at Li Yuan with quite a bit of regret.


    ¡°The top three global elite martial institutions?¡± Li Yuan smiled, something he had never dared to think about.


    The top three global elite martial institutions only recruited around a thousand people worldwide each year.


    Based on exam results, only the top ten in the whole province had a certain guarantee of entry.


    Li Yuan¡¯s initial goal was just the top five prestigious schools.


    ¡­


    As time went by day by day, Li Yuan¡¯s life continued in a straight line of three points.


    Aside from studying cultural classes in the morning.


    The rest of the time, Li Yuan devoted himself to cultivating his Fist Technique and Spear Technique, hoping to make a complete breakthrough in his Spear Technique.


    Before long, it was March 13th.


    Inside Martial Arts Room 4011.


    ¡°Skills are interconnected.¡±


    ¡°Unity of body and mind, I feel that the strength in my body runs uniformly and reaches perfection,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve even started to uncover deeper levels of strength in my body.¡±


    ¡°The might of my Spear Technique is also constantly improving.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The long spear in Li Yuan¡¯s hand changed unpredictably, darting with thrusts, whips, uplifts, and horizontal cuts.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    ¡°Bang~¡± ¡°Bang~¡± The giant sandbag hanging in mid-air in the Martial Arts Room, weighing a thousand kilograms, kept bursting with dull sounds.


    This training sandbag was replaced by Li Yuan a month ago at his own expense to better facilitate his training.


    ¡°Solid Rock Spear Technique, the five major killing moves, I¡¯ve completely mastered them and truly engraved them into my bones,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone brilliantly as he handled the long spear with endless variations, as if it had merged with him.


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°I still can¡¯t fully master the first move of the Stellar Spear Technique, ¡®Stellar Illumination,''¡± Li Yuan kept trying.


    The might of his Spear Technique continued to improve.


    But for several days now, the Spear Technique skill on the Divine Palace panel was still stuck at Third Stage 99%.


    ¡°The Divine Palace panel doesn¡¯t give any hints.¡±


    ¡°But I have a feeling,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were bright: ¡°I¡¯m getting more and more proficient with this move, and if I keep practicing like this, I¡¯ll soon have complete control over the first technique.¡±


    Li Yuan had a premonition that once he mastered it perfectly, that would be the time his Spear Technique would step into the Fourth Level.


    It¡¯s not about slow progress, but the lack of hope.


    ¡°Beep¡ª Beep¡ª¡± Suddenly, a sound arose.


    ¡°Master, your sister ¡®Li Qianqian¡¯ is urgently trying to reach you,¡± the assistant AI¡¯s voice rang out.


    ¡°Urgent contact?¡± Li Yuan was startled and immediately sheathed his spear and said, ¡°Connect.¡±


    Whoosh~


    A holographic screen formed, showing Li Qianqian¡¯s small oval face, full of anxiety, with tears swirling in her eyes.


    Judging by the background, she seemed to be standing in a corner of a corridor.


    ¡°Brother!¡± Li Qianqian cried out as soon as the communication connected.


    ¡°Qian Qian, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was low: ¡°What happened? Don¡¯t panic, tell me slowly.¡±


    ¡°Rob Sea!¡±


    ¡°So many people have died in the Rob Sea Star Realm, the war has escalated,¡± Li Qianqian¡¯s voice trembled with tension: ¡°The country has already issued a Second Level war alert. Our teacher just spoke of it in class.¡± S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Second Level war alert?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    The flames of war had been at a Third Level alert for the past half a year.


    Moreover, just two days ago, he had video called his uncle, and the war in the Rob Sea Star Realm was about to end, wasn¡¯t it?


    The war hadn¡¯t ended yet, but had escalated?


    ¡°I just tried to call Dad, and it said he wasn¡¯t in the service area,¡± Li Qianqian was extremely anxious: ¡°I called Mom, and she didn¡¯t pick up either.¡±


    ¡°Brother!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t think Dad is in trouble, do you?!¡±

 Chapter 60 - 58: The Uncertain Fate of Li Changzhou

    Chapter 60: Chapter 58: The Uncertain Fate of Li Changzhou sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Out of the service area?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart gave a jolt.


    If it was temporarily unreachable, that would be quite normal, perhaps they were just busy.


    But being out of the service area, there were only two possibilities.


    First, the signal at uncle¡¯s location was being interfered with.


    Second, uncle was within the Star Realm.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, the interior of the Star Realm was very special, seemingly not in the same space as the regular Blue Star world, causing many technological weapons to malfunction and communication to be extremely inconvenient.


    ...


    ¡°Could it be that uncle had already entered the Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan thought with a sinking feeling.


    According to recent news about the military situation in the Rob Sea, the military and Martial Hall¡¯s martial artists had already penetrated deep into the Star Realm to counter-attack.


    Yet, when communicating with his uncle, his uncle always mentioned being at the ¡®Number 7 Base¡¯ in the far rear.


    In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t worry too much, uncle will be alright,¡± Li Yuan said, still appearing very calm on the surface.


    Li Yuan did not want his sister to be frightened.


    ¡°It must be that the signal was affected, so it¡¯s out of the service area.¡±


    ¡°Uncle has always been in the rear, even if an unexpected situation were to arise in the battle, he would be able to withdraw quickly,¡± Li Yuan comforted her, ¡°Aunt might be in class and unable to answer the phone, so don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua¡¯s middle school and the school where Chen Hui worked were not the same one.


    ¡°Really, brother?¡± Li Qianqian seemed somewhat reassured, but still full of worry, ¡°Is my dad really in the far rear?¡±


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight smile, ¡°Alright, go back to class for now. I¡¯ll let you know if there¡¯s any news.¡±


    He hung up the phone.


    The smile disappeared from Li Yuan¡¯s face, as he spoke directly, ¡°Xiao Yu, immediately search for the latest military situation about the Rob Sea, check if a Second Level war alert has been triggered.¡±


    A Third Level war alert already meant a large-scale deployment of troops and martial artists to provide reinforcements.


    Second Level? That meant the entire Star Realm defense line was at risk of being completely breached.


    All the provinces would have to provide support on a massive scale.


    ¡°Yes, master,¡± the auxiliary AI responded.


    Only a few seconds later.


    Hum~ The holographic screen formed.


    It displayed a news video, featuring Xia Country¡¯s military spokesperson.


    The time of the news release was thirty minutes ago.


    The spokesperson, clad in military attire, had a serious expression and a hint of sorrow as he reported.


    ¡°¡­The Second Level Star Realm, Rob Sea¡­ since last September, up to now, there have been over eleven thousand casualties¡­ Initiating Second Level war alert,¡± the spokesperson announced solemnly.


    ¡°I believe that in this war, Xia Country will be victorious, humanity will prevail.¡±


    Right after that, one piece of news after another appeared on the screen: they were about large-scale gatherings and mobilizations from various places.


    ¡°Support teams from twenty-nine Martial Arts Universities.¡±


    ¡°Combat robot legions.¡±


    ¡°Sky and Space Forces.¡±


    Across vast wilderness, multitudes of multi-functional armored vehicles speeding onwards non-stop¡­


    On airport runways, rows of fighter jets and flying crafts taking off continuously¡­


    Alongside high-speed rail tracks, endless formations of fully prepped combat robots ready to deploy¡­


    ¡­In various places across Xia Country, troops of ready martial artists stationed at the two great Martial Halls similarly began to urgently depart.


    Support from all directions.


    ¡­


    All of this.


    Indicated just how urgent and dangerous the situation was in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Watching each piece of news on the screen, Li Yuan¡¯s fists clenched involuntarily, veins on the backs of his hands bulging slightly.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan thought of the Star Realm disaster he personally experienced more than a decade ago.


    He had survived.


    But his parents had left him forever.


    Now, was this scene to be reenacted? As for uncle, even if he was in the so-called far rear, it was still the rear of the front lines.


    Was it truly safe?


    Thinking this, Li Yuan subconsciously looked out the window.


    It was still a day filled with bright sunshine and the fragrance of cherry blossoms.


    Through the window, one could see on one side of the Martial Arts teaching building, numerous students were still methodically engaged in their Martial Arts Cultivation, many even playing and fooling around.


    The Second Level war alert had only been issued a short while ago.


    Apart from the military and the two great Martial Halls, the majority of ordinary people were probably still unaware.


    Moreover, Northern Border Province was quite far from Jiangbei Province.


    A Second Level war alert mainly involved the deployment of military martial artists, and at most, the conscription of retired soldiers; it would not result in a total mobilization of civilians and would not cause much impact on Jiang City.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, connect me to uncle,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    ¡°Beep¡ªThe target is not in the service area and cannot be reached,¡± Xiao Yu replied.


    ¡°Connect me to aunt,¡± Li Yuan spoke again.


    ¡°Beep¡ªBeep¡ª¡± Each second felt like a long wait.


    The call connected.


    But Chen Hui did not turn on the video, it only showed voice communication.


    ¡°Aunt?¡± Li Yuan spoke directly, ¡°The Rob Sea¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, I know, there¡¯s no need to worry,¡± Chen Hui¡¯s voice was quite calm, ¡°As soon as I got the news, I immediately called a colleague from your uncle¡¯s company headquarters to ask.¡±


    ¡°The Number 7 Base where your uncle is at hasn¡¯t been attacked; they¡¯ve begun to retreat, but the signal is probably affected.¡±


    Chen Hui said, ¡°I guess he¡¯ll call us tonight or tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart eased slightly.


    What worried him the most was the possibility of his uncle¡¯s location being attacked and losing contact.


    ¡°Yes, you don¡¯t need to worry too much,¡± Chen Hui¡¯s voice remained light-hearted, ¡°Alright, I have a meeting starting soon, so I have to hang up now.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    He hung up the phone.


    ¡­inside an office at the school, empty, all the other teachers had gone to teach.


    He hung up the phone with Li Yuan.


    ¡°Changzhou,¡± Chen Hui¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, tears faintly visible as she flipped through the light screen.


    Another chat screen appeared, the contact was named ¡®Manager Liu of Xia Construction Ninth Bureau¡¯.


    The last message sent by the other party was clear: ¡°Chen Hui, don¡¯t panic, the Base Three where Old Li and the others are located has indeed lost contact, but the company has not confirmed that it has completely fallen. The war base is very sturdy, and there is still hope for rescue.¡±


    Base Three was a forward base.


    ¡°Definitely!¡±


    ¡°They must survive,¡± Chen Hui silently chanted in her heart.


    What echoed in her mind were all the moments she had experienced with Li Changzhou over the past twenty years.


    Chen Hui understood that the front line of the war was so dangerous that the entire war base had lost contact¡­ the hope was slim.


    But.


    Without confirmed news of the base¡¯s complete fall, Chen Hui would still hold on to hope.


    ¡­


    After hanging up with his aunt, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, no longer as worried as before.


    Suddenly, his eyes widened.


    Something was wrong! There¡¯s a problem!


    ¡°If my uncle were really safe, my aunt would have shown concern, or even complained to me,¡± Li Yuan thought like lightning, ¡°But my aunt spoke too casually.¡±


    That wasn¡¯t like his aunt at all.


    At the same time, Li Yuan wondered, why didn¡¯t his aunt answer the video call?


    Could it be?


    After taking a deep breath, Li Yuan spoke up again, ¡°Little Yu, help me contact Wang Haoyu, noted as Uncle Wang.¡±


    Wang Haoyu was his uncle¡¯s former department colleague and a good friend of his uncle¡¯s.


    Li Yuan remembered that when he was in elementary school, Uncle Wang and his Uncle Li Changzhou often drank and ate together.


    However, ever since his uncle applied for an external assignment, they were in contact much less frequently.


    Soon the call connected, and a middle-aged man in a suit appeared on the screen.


    ¡°Uncle Wang,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face was full of anxiety, ¡°How is my second uncle doing? Have you been able to contact him? Did they evacuate?¡±


    ¡°Little Yuan, you know already?¡± Uncle Wang on the video was taken aback.


    ¡°I mostly know,¡± Li Yuan was anxious, ¡°Weren¡¯t they saying that the war was nearly over? How did it suddenly come to this? Uncle Wang, do you know the latest situation?¡±


    ¡°Since your aunt has told you, I won¡¯t hide it.¡± Uncle Wang sighed, ¡°Base Three, although it wasn¡¯t the first to be counterattacked, it is located on the edge of the Star Realm. It¡¯s indeed out of contact now and probably under siege.¡±


    Base Three? Li Yuan felt as if struck by lightning.


    His uncle wasn¡¯t at Base Seven but at Base Three?


    ¡°But Base Three is a forward base, the sturdiest of all. The country is gathering forces for a rescue,¡± Uncle Wang said gravely, ¡°Perhaps they can be rescued¡­ Anyway, there¡¯s still hope.¡±


    ¡°Also.¡±


    Uncle Wang hesitated then said, ¡°Little Yuan, I heard that you have achieved a lot in the Martial Path and even earned the ¡®Young Hero¡¯ title. I was happy for you when I first found out.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve grown up, and if, I mean if¡­ it¡¯s the worst outcome, you have to be strong, take good care of your aunt and your younger siblings, understand?¡± Uncle Wang looked at the somewhat silent young man in white on the video.


    Uncle Wang felt an unwillingness and even thought his words were somewhat cruel.


    He had watched Li Yuan grow up.


    But he felt that, at this time, he should admonish Li Yuan.


    ¡°I understand, fully understand,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Wang. I will take good care of the family.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come over to see you and your aunt in a couple of days,¡± Uncle Wang said finally, ¡°I¡¯m still busy over here, call me if anything comes up.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, thank you, Uncle Wang,¡± Li Yuan ended the call.


    In the Martial Arts Room.


    Li Yuan was somewhat stunned, even feeling slightly dizzy, his mind full of Uncle Wang¡¯s recent words ¨C Base Three!


    Lost contact, possibly fallen?


    Besides, he could tell from Uncle Wang¡¯s words that it was highly likely his uncle wouldn¡¯t make it back alive.


    ¡°Definitely.¡±


    ¡°There must be hope.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, you must still be alive.¡± Li Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his heart torn, full of despair.


    But still, Li Yuan harbored a sliver of hope in his heart.


    He stood still, not moving.


    Li Yuan was silent for a long time.


    As if he had come to a clear decision, Li Yuan began sending out messages to some people, including his younger siblings.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan bent down slightly, picking up the large spear he had discarded on the ground moments before.


    ¡°What has happened cannot be changed.¡±


    ¡°Whether my uncle can survive is not within my control; that depends on the national military, on the martial artists,¡± Li Yuan clenched his teeth, his heart was trembling with anxiety.


    ¡°All I can do is pray for my uncle¡¯s safe return.¡±


    In Li Yuan¡¯s heart, his uncle and father were no different.


    ¡°If¡­ it¡¯s really that outcome,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes reddened slightly, ¡°like what Uncle Wang said.¡±


    ¡°I must hold up this family.¡±


    ¡°Uncle would definitely not want me to wallow in sadness, he would wish for me to live on like a man,¡± Li Yuan clenched his fists tightly.


    His eyes reddened, yet no tears fell.


    Li Yuan did not make more calls nor did he flip through the news again.


    Instead, he began practicing with his spear again!


    Spear shadows emerged once more.


    In the Martial Arts Room, they swept through the air in a howling burst, Solid Rock Pillar, Hidden Dragon in the Gorge, Visions of Many Mountains¡­ He executed each move of the Solid Rock Spear Technique flawlessly.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± In that moment, Li Yuan felt as if the sandbags before him had turned into the Fish Spirit Clan.


    They had become those bloodthirsty creatures from the Star Realm.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with an uncontrollable anxiety and sadness, and a hint of anger he wanted to release violently.


    Stabbing and cleaving with the spear again and again as time passed, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique became faster!


    More ferocious.


    It had surpassed the past! He was truly beginning to reach a new realm.

 Chapter 61 - 59 Fourth Level Spear Technique

    Chapter 61: Chapter 59 Fourth Level Spear Technique


    After five to six days, Li Yuan¡¯s Fist Technique had already improved to the Fourth Level at 6%, but his Spear Technique had not been able to break through.


    Body and mind integration is the foundation of Body-Mind-Weapon Integration.


    Therefore, Li Yuan practiced the Solid Rock Spear Technique over and over again, constantly pondering the first move of the Stellar Spear Technique.


    This increased the might of his Spear Technique continuously.


    But!


    Body-Mind-Weapon Integration, the emphasis lies in the word ¡°weapon¡±, that is, the control over the weapon.


    ...


    The weapon is an extension of the body.


    Yet, it ultimately isn¡¯t a part of the body, the spirit, the consciousness, the nerves cannot truly connect to the weapon.


    So, to perceive the flow of force within the weapon as clearly as one perceives the muscles and vigor of the body is very difficult.


    During these days, the might of the Spear Technique improved.


    This signified that Li Yuan¡¯s perception of the redundant forces generated during the weapon¡¯s motion, strikes, collisions, withdrawals, and Straight Thrusts was becoming increasingly clear.


    Until today.


    Until this moment.


    When the news of his uncle¡¯s uncertain fate arrived, Li Yuan swung the Long Spear filled with anger and murderous intent over and over again.


    He executed the moves repeatedly!


    A full hour passed.


    All that remained in Li Yuan¡¯s mind was the Spear Technique, desiring to exhaust all his energy completely.


    Finally, as if resulting from a build-up of potential to a critical point, or perhaps as if destined by fortune.


    ¡°Boom!¡± In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, it was as if a door had been gently pushed open.


    His powerful spiritual power, as if it had grown eyes, subtly permeated the inside of the weapon.


    He perceived the extremely subtle flow of vigor within the weapon.


    ¡°Rip~¡±


    The Long Spear danced, its tip drew dazzling arcs of light in mid-air, moving unpredictably, tearing the air and producing astonishing explosive sounds.


    Body, spirit, Long Spear!


    The three achieved complete Unity.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Overwhelming Spear Light flickered, enveloping Li Yuan in the center, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, round and flawless, impregnable.


    It was the ¡®Stellar Illumination¡¯ among the five ultimate moves of the Stellar Spear Technique.


    The Stellar Spear Technique, renowned for its Defense, with the first move, Stellar Illumination, as the opening form, is also the most essential one.


    Having mastered the first form.


    One could gradually extend to the following four forms, and eventually, when all five forms are integrated, comprehend the Stellar Realm.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has been elevated from the Third Stage at 99% to the Fourth Level at 2%]


    A prompt flashed on Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace panel.


    Whew!


    This unprecedented burst of power, coupled with the hours of practice that preceded it.


    At last drained all of Li Yuan¡¯s energy.


    Li Yuan felt an unparalleled exhaustion in both his spirit and body, waves of fatigue overwhelmed him, and his eyelids began to droop involuntarily.


    ¡°Clang~¡± The twenty-kilogram Long Spear hit the ground.


    Li Yuan simply sat down on the ground, and then collapsed entirely.


    He fell asleep right there.


    Too exhausted.


    ¡­


    More than an hour later.


    Li Yuan was already lying in the bed of his rest room, snoring loudly.


    Next to him, Zhou Qi and L¨« Tianyou were sweating profusely.


    Having practiced Basic Cultivation Methods, Physical Quality had increased continuously, which meant the body had also become heavier; it had not been easy for the two of them to get Li Yuan onto the bed.


    Then, they covered him with a thin quilt.


    In March, Jiang City still carried a bit of chill.


    ¡°Teacher Xu, Li Yuan will be okay, right?¡± Zhou Qi couldn¡¯t help asking, a hint of concern in his eyes.


    ¡°He¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    ¡°He must have practiced Spear Technique to the limit, exhausted his strength, too tired,¡± Xu Bo said indifferently from the side


    ¡°How did you guys know something was wrong with Li Yuan?¡± Xu Bo looked at the two of them.


    Zhou Qi and L¨« Tianyou exchanged a glance.


    ¡°Teacher, wasn¡¯t there an incident in Rob Sea?¡± L¨« Tianyou took the initiative, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s uncle has always been there, and since Li Yuan didn¡¯t come down for dinner¡­ we got a bit worried, so we thought we¡¯d check on him.¡±


    ¡°The door was ajar, we pushed it open and found him,¡± continued L¨« Tianyou.


    ¡°And you?¡± Xu Bo looked towards Lin Lanyue standing by the door.


    ¡°I saw them rush out from the Martial Arts Room looking panicked, so I came over to have a look,¡± today Lin Lanyue was dressed in a red martial outfit, ¡°and immediately sent a message to you, Teacher.¡± S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s gaze settled on Li Yuan¡¯s face.


    Xu Bo nodded slightly and added, ¡°Has Li Yuan¡¯s uncle not returned to Jiangbei yet?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Zhou Qi shook his head, ¡°from what Li Yuan said, it seems like he¡¯s always been on the front lines.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I got it,¡± Xu Bo nodded, ¡°Zhou Qi, you two go have your meal first.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Zhou Qi and L¨« Tianyou left the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue,¡± Xu Bo turned to Lin Lanyue, speaking gravely, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s uncle¡¯s incident, it seems, has had a big impact on him.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow afternoon.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re setting off for Jiangbei Martial Arts University; you are more familiar with that place¡­ do your best to help him out.¡±


    ¡°As for Li Yuan,¡± Xu Bo¡¯s gaze returned to Li Yuan lying on the bed, he sighed lightly, ¡°his luck has always been not very good.¡±


    ¡°Luck?¡± Lin Lanyue was startled upon hearing this, and asked, ¡°His fainting is related to his uncle? Is his uncle that important to him?¡±


    In Lin Lanyue¡¯s impression, Li Yuan was supposed to have an extremely strong will.


    ¡°He is an orphan.¡±


    Xu Bo said indifferently, ¡°It was his uncle who raised him, and from what I know, his uncle went adventuring in Rob Sea probably to earn more subsidies for Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Path cultivation.¡±


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart trembled slightly, she couldn¡¯t help but glance at Li Yuan lying on the bed.


    ¡°`


    She had not expected Li Yuan¡¯s background to be so special.


    She had had no idea before.


    ¡°Did his uncle sacrifice himself?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Not sure,¡± Xu Bo shook his head, ¡°As you know, the situation in the Rob Sea is incredibly chaotic, but judging from Li Yuan¡¯s expression, the outlook doesn¡¯t seem too good¡­ The war in the Star Realm is hard to call.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, her background made her very worldly.


    In some respects, she had insights that Xu Bo didn¡¯t necessarily have.


    ¡°Teacher Xu, I will do my best to help Li Yuan in this invitation event,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s gaze swept over Li Yuan once more, as if she had made a certain decision: ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to get him on the special training list.¡±


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to go out of your way to tell Li Yuan,¡± Lin Lanyue added: ¡°With his personality, he probably wouldn¡¯t like to accept direct help from others.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, let me thank you on behalf of Li Yuan,¡± Xu Bo smiled faintly: ¡°You go back first, I¡¯m here, no need to worry.¡±


    ¡­


    After watching Lin Lanyue leave, Xu Bo¡¯s gaze fell back on Li Yuan, his brow slightly furrowed.


    ¡°Really training with the spear to the limit? Tired to this extent?¡± Xu Bo murmured to himself.


    The initial check by the rest room equipment confirmed there were no major issues with Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    All indicators were normal.


    Thinking of this, Xu Bo exited the resting room, gently closed the door behind him, and spoke in a low voice: ¡°Black Dog, I want to check the Martial Arts Room 4011, I am applying for video access.¡±


    Every individual Martial Arts Room, aside from the resting areas, was monitored.


    But ordinary teachers didn¡¯t have the authority to view the footage.


    After a while.


    ¡°Master, the application is successful, you can check the videos from the past seven days,¡± the assistant AI¡¯s voice rang out.


    Whirr~


    Xu Bo¡¯s smart ring projected a light screen which showed the inside of the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Play the scene from two hours earlier,¡± Xu Bo commanded.


    The scenes in the light screen immediately changed, revealing Li Yuan practicing his Spear Technique in the Martial Arts Room.


    Just one look.


    ¡°This Spear Technique?¡± Xu Bo¡¯s pupils showed a hint of surprise, how could he not recognize the impressiveness of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique? It was clearly much stronger than before.


    Time passed.


    Faster! Faster! Xu Bo kept watching until he finally stopped speeding up the footage.


    The most crucial moment arrived.


    ¡°Fourth Stage Spear Technique!¡± Xu Bo¡¯s eyes widened, shock filling his gaze.


    ¡°Seventeen and a half years old, Fourth Stage Spear Technique?¡±


    Xu Bo knew that with Li Yuan¡¯s rate of progress, he would eventually enter the Fourth Stage of Spear Technique.


    But he had never imagined Li Yuan would breakthrough so quickly.


    ¡°The special training list is secured,¡± Xu Bo grinned.


    Then, he glanced at the slightly ajar door next to him, and his smile faded away.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    ¡­


    It was past eight in the evening.


    Li Yuan gradually awoke from a deep sleep, his head pounding and his body still feeling overwhelmingly fatigued.


    ¡°Me? Am I on a bed?¡± Li Yuan noticed the light blanket covering him.


    The light suddenly turned on, the door opened, and the light was blinding.


    Li Yuan subconsciously covered his eyes.


    ¡°Awake?¡± A pleasant voice sounded, and a girl in a crimson training outfit stood by the door, seemingly holding a few boxes of nutrition meals.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue?¡± Li Yuan recognized the owner of the voice.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just reheated the nutrition meals for you; they¡¯re on the dining table there, you should get up and eat,¡± Lin Lanyue said: ¡°I¡¯ll call Teacher Xu over.¡±


    After putting down the items, Lin Lanyue turned and left.


    Li Yuan sat up swiftly, quickly coming to his senses as the headache eased: ¡°Did I pass out on the floor while practicing with the spear?¡±


    After getting out of bed and washing up.


    Li Yuan stepped out of the rest room and approached the dining table, where four boxes of nutrition meals were laid out.


    He was too hungry to think much, so he started eating voraciously.


    ¡°Finally awake? Looks like you¡¯ve got quite an appetite,¡± Xu Bo¡¯s voice came from the doorway.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan set down his chopsticks and stood up.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get up, sit and eat,¡± Xu Bo said with a slight smile: ¡°It¡¯s your first time performing Fourth Stage Spear Technique, the sudden, excessive physical exhaustion must have made you hungry.¡±


    ¡°Teacher knows I¡¯ve achieved Fourth Stage with my Spear Technique?¡± Li Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    Xu Bo smiled and didn¡¯t explain.


    ¡°Where is Lin Lanyue?¡± Li Yuan instinctively looked towards the doorway.


    ¡°I had her go back to cultivate,¡± Xu Bo said: ¡°She cares for you, at six o¡¯clock she bought you meals, fearing you wouldn¡¯t have enough, she bought four boxes.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a warm feeling in his heart and couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°She found me unconscious?¡±


    ¡°The ones who found you were Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou,¡± Xu Bo said: ¡°Then Lin Lanyue happened to be there, and she called me over.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded and continued to eat voraciously.


    He was indeed hungry.


    ¡°You pushed yourself too hard in spear training and then suddenly had a breakthrough, your body couldn¡¯t handle the consumption all at once and so you fainted,¡± Xu Bo said standing by: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, once your body gradually adapts, it¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    As Li Yuan ate, he asked: ¡°Teacher, is it common for people to experience this upon breaking through to the Fourth Stage with their technique?¡±


    ¡°Most won¡¯t,¡± Xu Bo said: ¡°Most Martial Artists break through to the Fourth Stage of a technique after reaching level 15, when their bodies are strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Your body is too weak.¡±


    ¡°With Body-Mind-Weapon Integration, and your spiritual power being much stronger than your physical quality, the immense consumption in an instant is what caused this,¡± Xu Bo explained.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    He devoured a box of food like a whirlwind, yet he didn¡¯t feel sated at all.


    Now, Li Yuan felt like he could eat a whole cow.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your uncle is at Base Three, right?¡± Xu Bo suddenly said.


    Li Yuan froze, his voice tinged with excitement: ¡°Teacher, is there news?¡±


    ¡°Base Three has not fallen,¡± Xu Bo said gravely.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 62 - 60: Flying Heaven Warrior, Civilizations Blade

    Chapter 62: Chapter 60: Flying Heaven Warrior, Civilization¡¯s Blade


    ¡°Really?¡± Li Yuan looked at Xu Bo excitedly, momentarily forgetting to continue eating.


    When his Fist Technique broke through to the Fourth Level, Li Yuan was very excited and joyful. He planned to share the good news with his uncle once his rank on the Starry Skies Fighting Network was raised to Fallen Star.


    But when his Spear Technique stepped into the Fourth Level, Li Yuan¡¯s heart lacked that joy.


    It wasn¡¯t until now, learning that Base Three had not yet fallen, that Li Yuan¡¯s somewhat suppressed mood lifted considerably.


    In his heart, hope was kindled.


    ¡°Teacher, where did this information come from?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ...


    ¡°I heard about your uncle from Zhou Qi,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°The school has some of your uncle¡¯s information. Xia Country¡¯s Iron Ninth Bureau¡­ I asked around, and the Iron Ninth Bureau¡¯s construction support teams are mainly concentrated in Bases Three and Four.¡±


    ¡°At present, only Base Three has lost contact,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°Given your situation, I inferred that your uncle should be at Base Three.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Having spent so much time together, Li Yuan had long realized that although his teacher appeared to be a rough man, he was actually incredibly perceptive.


    ¡°My second uncle is at Base Three,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°From what I know, this time, it¡¯s the fiercest counterattack by the Alien Race from the depths of the Rob Sea. They had been accumulating strength for years, constantly luring the enemy deeper¡­¡± Xu Bo briefly explained. ¡°The casualties have been heavy; the first three War Bases have been besieged, and Bases One and Two have already fallen.¡±


    ¡°Base Three is the oldest of the forward bases and the most robust; it has been confirmed to still be resisting.¡±


    ¡°The state has already dispatched a large amount of support forces to push back the Alien Race that broke through from the Rob Sea Star Realm.¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°Right now, they are also going all out in the rescue effort for Base Three.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Xu Bo¡¯s words were simple, yet they contained a massive amount of information.


    ¡°Can they be saved?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°First, let¡¯s watch a recent combat video. This is an internal military video; don¡¯t share the content elsewhere,¡± Xu Bo said, but he didn¡¯t continue to explain where the video had come from.


    ¡°Black Dog, play the video.¡±


    Beep!


    A light screen projected from Xu Bo¡¯s smart ring and a video appeared on it.


    Li Yuan watched the video.


    The dark sky was raining.


    There was a vague blood hue in the sky, and majestic mountain ranges stretched into the depths of the earth.


    Rocky and barren mountains were numerous, with scarce vegetation, and one could vaguely see many skeletal remains, macabre and terrifying.


    ¡°The Rob Sea Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly.


    He had seen many documentaries about the Rob Sea Star Realm and had some understanding of its domain.


    ¡°This is the outer perimeter of the Star Realm,¡± Xu Bo said. ¡°Keep watching.¡±


    Quickly, the camera angle changed.


    ¡°Rumble rumble~¡± At the same time, an immensely frenzied roar came from the video.


    A gigantic metal War Fortress appeared in the video, with an area so vast and standing thousands of kilometers tall. Built against the mountains, it resembled an undying steel city.


    Visibly, the outermost layer of the fortress showed countless outlets, revealing a massive array of cannon muzzles and gun barrels, sinister and terrifying.


    At that moment, countless fire serpents were pouring out from those cannon muzzles.


    ¡°Howl!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± A multitude of large beasts with strange appearances charged from a hundred miles away at a stunning speed, from the sky and through the passageways between the rolling mountain ranges, relentlessly towards the steel War Fortress in the extreme distance.


    ¡°Beast-type Star Realm Creatures?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    Using flesh and bone to fight against thermal weapons.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Countless cannons fired, and smoke filled the air.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! These Star Realm Creatures varied from several meters to dozens of meters in size, all moving at a stunning speed. While advancing, they were making great efforts to dodge the firepower.


    Large-caliber, high-speed metal bullets streamed like fire serpents, wildly ravaging the ground.


    The vast majority of Star Realm Creatures were instantly torn apart if swept by the large calibers or hit by the cannons.


    But.


    When the stream of bullets struck a few Star Realm Creatures, a thin layer of red light would instantly appear on their surface, preventing them from being torn apart by the barrage. They could only be forced backward, not destroyed.


    Even among these few creatures with red light shining on their bodies, one swift move could cover hundreds of meters. They didn¡¯t dodge at all, completely withstanding the metal onslaught and advancing without interruption.


    It was chilling.


    ¡°Origin Power?¡± Li Yuan said instinctively.


    ¡°Correct,¡± Xu Bo also stared at the light screen, speaking softly, ¡°to withstand the metal bullet stream, they must be at least Second Rank Alien Species. They have cultivated Origin Power into their bodies, their vitality is formidable, and their defense is terrifying.¡±


    ¡°In the Star Realm, unlike on Blue Star, many high-tech weapons can¡¯t be used.¡± S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan watched and listened.


    Many of these bits of knowledge had been covered in middle and high school classrooms, and he was somewhat familiar with them.


    High-speed missiles guided by satellites and many super long-range weapons were difficult to use in the Star Realm¡­ because fundamentally, the Star Realm and Blue Star weren¡¯t in the same world.


    The more cutting-edge the technology for the weapons, the more limited its use.


    On the contrary, purely close-range thermal weapons powered by gunpowder were relatively unaffected by the environment.


    ¡°Is this Base Three?¡± Li Yuan watched nervously in the video.


    That massive War Fortress standing between heaven and earth was like a monstrous metal beast devouring life, slaughtering countless Star Realm Creatures on the path of their assault.


    But!!


    The Star Realm creatures suffered heavy casualties, but their numbers were astonishing, and instead of swarming en masse, they dispersed strategically, minimizing their own losses.


    ¡°Are they trying to deplete the War Fortress¡¯s ammunition?¡± Li Yuan instantly surmised.


    As time elapsed, the video showed that under the cover of numerous Second Rank creatures, the Star Realm creatures¡¯ army was getting closer and closer to the area where the War Fortress was located.


    Star Realm creatures were pure cannon fodder.


    Watching the intense battle in the video, Li Yuan¡¯s tension ran high, his fists clenched subconsciously.


    But just as the Star Realm creatures¡¯ army gradually approached the outer defense line of the War Fortress, suddenly¡ª


    ¡°Boom!¡± An inconspicuous exit appeared on the massive War Fortress.


    The next moment¡ª


    A golden stream of light burst forth from the exit, its terrifying speed creating a visible shockwave in its trajectory.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s eyesight, he could barely make out the details of the golden light.


    Buzz~The video slowed down to more than ten times its normal speed.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Li Yuan finally saw it more clearly¡ªa human figure cloaked in the golden light, seeming to wear a metallic battle garment, wielding a Combat Saber.


    Soaring through the void!


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± Li Yuan was breathless, a wave of fervor boiling within him.


    Legends spoke of powerful warriors who could soar through the heavens and burrow through the earth, the true guardians of human civilization.


    Only two seconds.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The video returned to normal speed, and that dazzling golden light had torn through the sky, its speed far exceeding multiples of the speed of sound!


    ¡°Poom~¡±


    ¡°Poom~¡± ¡°Poom~!¡± In the sky, those Second Rank flying creatures screamed in terror and scattered, their flying speed soaring to over a hundred meters per second under the threat of death.


    A rare few flying Star Realm creatures even reached near-sonic speeds, but still, the golden light quickly caught up to them.


    Then came streak after streak of explosive golden Saber light slashing through the Vast Sky.


    Each streak of golden light represented the fall of a flying Star Realm creature, their bodies bursting open, plummeting toward the ground.


    Then¡ª


    The golden light dove down from the thousands of meters in the sky, rocks shattering explosively¡ªit was like a deathly golden beam.


    Wherever it passed, all the mighty Second Rank creatures, whether it was serpents over fifty meters long or armored behemoths rising over twenty meters high like small hills, were rended open upon impact.


    The Human warrior bathed in the golden light appeared like an Asura emerging from the depths of hell!


    ¡­


    The video ended, and Xu Bo simultaneously shut off the intelligent ring display, the Martial Arts Room quieting down.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were wide with surging emotions, his blood boiling, and he couldn¡¯t calm down for a long time.


    Flying Heaven Warriors!


    This was what Li Yuan had imagined¡ªthe supreme martial force capable of soaring through the heavens and roaming freely, standing at the pinnacle of human civilization.


    ¡°Teacher, was that a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± Li Yuan asked eagerly, looking up at Xu Bo.


    ¡°He¡¯s not quite a Flying Heaven Warrior, but in terms of strength, many Flying Heaven Warriors are not his match,¡± Xu Bo said.


    Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°Once you enter university, you¡¯ll gradually understand,¡± Xu Bo said seriously. ¡°The person who made that move is named Yu Jinghe, a graduate of Starfire University, and should be considered the foremost Martial Path genius to emerge in Xia Country in the past twenty years.¡±


    Clearly, Xu Bo was very familiar with Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe?¡± Li Yuan held his breath, committing the name to memory.


    Previously, Li Yuan had never heard of this person.


    The world of top martial artists was mysterious and vast; they often wandered the Star Realm, only appearing on the front lines of war during critical moments, serving as the sharpest blades of human civilization.


    Therefore, most of the time, common folks seldom heard the names of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    On the contrary, many Prime Warriors who became top broadcasters were more famous on the virtual Combat Network.


    ¡°The foremost Martial Path genius in Xia Country?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Indeed impressive.


    ¡°With the Alien Race from the Rob Sea planning for years, under normal circumstances, Base Three would surely have fallen,¡± Xu Bo spoke gravely. ¡°But with Yu Jinghe there, just in time, when coupled with the War Fortress¡¯s defense system, there¡¯s hope it could hold out until reinforcements arrive.¡±


    ¡°That impressive?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    ¡°He has the strength to rival a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Xu Bo said in a low voice. ¡°Each Flying Heaven Warrior is nearly a humanoid nuclear weapon, one man equivalent to a million-strong army.¡±


    ¡°Every Flying Heaven Warrior is a pillar of strength for human civilization.¡±


    Li Yuan listened quietly.


    In the past, he knew Prime Warriors were strong, and he had heard legends about Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But never had he felt so directly the terrifying martial force of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe?¡±


    ¡°You must hold on,¡± Li Yuan silently prayed. ¡°Uncle, you must survive.¡±


    Meanwhile¡ª


    After watching the video, a seed was planted in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warrior!¡±


    ¡°One day, I will also become a Flying Heaven Warrior, a lone guardian against a million-strong army, unmatched throughout the Star Realm.¡±

 Chapter 63 - 61

    Chapter 63: Chapter 61 ¡°Nirvana Divine Scripture


    ¡°`The Second Level war alert caused a huge stir in less than a day, with support rushing from all over to the Rob Sea.


    However, for most citizens of Jiang City, life wasn¡¯t greatly affected.


    Watching the military video that Teacher Xu Bo showed him, Li Yuan¡¯s originally tense heart also relaxed quite a bit, and he wasn¡¯t so worried.


    A little past nine in the evening.


    After finishing four boxes of nutritional meals and taking a bottle of basic Qi and blood potion, Li Yuan finally felt most of his hunger dissipate and his body¡¯s sense of fatigue recover substantially.


    ¡°Indeed, it wasn¡¯t wrong.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    ¡°When people are hungry, they only think about eating,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, ¡°Once satiated, all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts come flooding in.¡±


    Li Yuan was even more worried about his uncle.


    He packed up his things.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m heading home,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Hmm, get everything ready when you get back,¡± Xu Bo said, ¡°Tomorrow afternoon, we¡¯ll head out to Jiangbei Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­ Li Yuan walked out of the elite building with others following.


    ¡°I hope Li Yuan isn¡¯t too badly affected,¡± Xu Bo watched as Li Yuan walked out of the school gate, ¡°With his Spear Technique breakthrough to the Fourth Level, as long as he performs normally, he should be able to make it onto the special training list for Kunlun University.¡±


    ¡°Once he gets past this, the road ahead will be much smoother.¡±


    Xu Bo well knew that Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation was different from ordinary people; he needed a large amount of resources to support it.


    He must strive to get into the core layer of the top five universities.


    ¡­


    It was nearly ten o¡¯clock when Li Yuan finally got home, his younger brother and sister had already gone to sleep.


    His aunt looked as usual, changing her story to comfort Li Yuan.


    Telling Li Yuan not to worry, just to focus on preparing for the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    ¡°Alright, as long as uncle is fine, I will definitely strive to secure a spot on the special training list,¡± Li Yuan said.


    He didn¡¯t break through his aunt¡¯s lies.


    Li Yuan knew that his aunt¡¯s reluctance to tell him the truth was also for fear of affecting his assessment at the invitation event of Jiangbei Martial Arts University.


    ¡°Tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°I will head to Jiangbei Martial Arts University,¡± Li Yuan returned to his room and went through his cultivation as per routine.


    He was not in the least bit complacent about his Spear Technique advancing to the Fourth Level.


    On the contrary.


    Having witnessed the power of a Flying Heaven Warrior, feeling the helplessness of his uncle being in danger, Li Yuan¡¯s motivation to cultivate was stronger than ever before.


    Persistent and steady accumulation is the foundation of great achievements.


    [Your life level has increased from 8.8 to 8.9.]


    [Your Fist Technique, from¡­]


    [Your speed, from¡­] The Divine Palace panel issued three consecutive reminders.


    ¡°Fist Technique breakthrough to the Fourth Level.¡±


    ¡°Today, Spear Technique also entered the Fourth Level, I have perfect control over the vigor in my body, uncovering deeper potential, and cultivating the Basic Cultivation Method has indeed increased efficiency,¡± Li Yuan nodded to himself.


    Originally, his cultivation efficiency was already faster than that of most students in the elite class.


    In the future, it will only be faster.


    ¡­


    After one in the morning, while Li Yuan was still cultivating the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± at home.


    In the Guan Mountain District, Starry Sky South Lake Residential District.


    The name of the district is quite common, but in reality, it is one of the most top-tier residential districts in Guan Mountain District, let alone the entire Jiang City.


    Because, those who live here are families of Martial Artists from the Starry Sky Martial Hall, and at least a Level 15 Warrior.


    To the east side of the district is the most expansive, manor-like super-large detached villa, with extremely strict security, not just guards on duty, but also combat robots patrolling.


    On an adjacent lawn, there is also a flying vehicle parked.


    Inside the villa¡¯s basement, there is a thousand square meter large Martial Arts Hall, extremely luxurious, with all sorts of technological facilities available, even a sixty-meter ¡®speed testing runway¡¯.


    In the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    A girl dressed in red exercise gear had her eyes tightly closed.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Waves of intense heat, resembling dancing flames, kept emerging around her, then condensed behind her back.


    Gradually, behind the girl, the vague form of a flame phoenix tree took shape.


    On the phoenix tree, the phantom of a firebird seemed to circle and dance, elusive and indistinct.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°My little sister?¡± The young man in a blue Martial Path suit standing to the side was shockingly watching this scene, ¡°The Burning Body Phoenix Tree, Phoenix Soul Refining.¡±


    ¡°My little sister actually fulfilled the requirements of the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯ before she turned eighteen,¡± the young man was dumbfounded.


    Even though father had tasked him with checking on her, saying she¡¯d likely awaken someday.


    However, the young man hadn¡¯t quite believed it before he came.


    Because, from a young age.


    Aside from her perseverance in training, his little sister did not compare to himself and his elder brother back then.


    ¡°Father really does see things clearly,¡± the young man muttered to himself.


    Seconds and minutes ticked by.


    The young man patiently waited.


    His little sister meeting the requirements for cultivating the ¡°Nirvana Divine Scripture¡± meant a guaranteed smooth future, and as her brother, he naturally felt joy.


    Another quarter of an hour passed.


    The swathes of red light gradually merged into Lin Lanyue¡¯s body, causing her expressions to show slight pain, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.


    Lin Lanyue could clearly feel an astonishing transformation taking place inside her body.


    It was like a leap in life level.


    Finally, everything calmed down.¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Huh!¡± Lin Lanyue gradually returned to normal, only her skin had become more rosy, and a faint flame mark appeared on her forehead.


    As the flame mark slowly merged into her forehead, she also opened her eyes.


    ¡°Me? My physical quality.¡± Lin Lanyue gently clenched her fists, feeling the significant transformation of her body, and couldn¡¯t help but look towards the young man in the distance, ¡°Second brother?¡±


    ¡°Your physical quality was already at 9.6 levels before; now, it must have surpassed 10.0 levels, reaching the threshold requirement for an Entry Rank Martial Artist,¡± the young man said with a smile.


    ¡°Improvement this fast? Won¡¯t it affect my future?¡± Lin Lanyue hesitated.


    She knew that many treasures that quickly enhance one¡¯s strength in a short period could actually consume one¡¯s life potential, limiting future achievements.


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°What you took was the ¡®Crimson Sky Fire Marrow Crystal¡¯ that mother had someone send from Feixing, along with the ¡®Solar Phoenix Bloodstone¡¯ that father helped you refine into your body a few years ago. They perfectly complement each other,¡± the young man said with a smile: ¡°Their main function is to promote a second awakening of your Spiritual Nature.¡±


    ¡°In fact, most of the power of these two treasures has not yet been unleashed. As you continue to practice in the future, they will naturally exert their effects gradually.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    All this time, she seldom took basic qi and blood potions and other auxiliary cultivation drugs.


    But as her body matured completely, the speed of improvement in her physical quality became faster and faster.


    The most important reason was the foundation-building treasure left inside her by her father.


    ¡°Second brother, did I just succeed?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Yes,¡± he said.


    The young man expressed his feelings: ¡°Just as father predicted, you have met the requirements to practice the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯.¡±


    ¡°I really don¡¯t get it.¡±


    ¡°Both big brother and I attempted a second awakening of Spiritual Nature and failed. We could only continue practicing the ¡®Blazing Flame Burning Cultivation Method,¡¯ and even now, we are still 29th level Prime Warriors.¡± The young man shook his head with a wry smile: ¡°If mother knew that you had met the requirements to practice the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture,¡¯ she¡¯d be very happy.¡±


    ¡°Mother?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes dimmed; she hadn¡¯t seen her mother for many years.


    Father and big brother were also busy.


    Only the second brother would occasionally come to see her.


    ¡°What about father? Why didn¡¯t he come today?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°He went to the Rob Sea,¡± the young man said solemnly: ¡°The situation there is intense. The country conjectures that with the aliens being so aggressive, the likelihood of the Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯s entrance expanding into a ¡®Third Level Star Realm¡¯ is very high.¡±


    Third Level Star Realm?


    Lin Lanyue was shocked; she understood what that meant.


    In the whole Blue Star, there were several Second Level Star Realms, but only one Third Level Star Realm had appeared so far.


    Another Third Level Star Realm? And within the territory of Xia Country?


    It would undoubtedly be a disaster.


    ¡°No wonder the country has directly issued a second-level war alert,¡± Lin Lanyue thought to herself.


    ¡°Therefore, the Martial Arts Department has specially communicated with father, requesting him to go there,¡± the young man said. ¡°If it really comes to the most dangerous moment,¡±


    ¡°Only a strong man like father could prevent the frontline situation from completely collapsing.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly; she knew her father¡¯s significance to the country.


    ¡°Little sister.¡±


    ¡°You handle this well; I must leave in a bit,¡± the young man smiled: ¡°In the following few months, you¡¯ll need to work harder.¡±


    ¡°Get a good result,¡±


    ¡°Once the college entrance exam is over, the family¡¯s review team will come,¡± the young man advised.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just arrived, and now you¡¯re leaving?¡± Lin Lanyue frowned.


    ¡°I¡¯m the boss of the department. With so many people waiting for me, surrounding me, how can I stop completely?¡± The young man said affectionately as he patted the girl¡¯s head: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, once the matter with the Penglai Star Realm is settled, I¡¯ll come back to see you.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s anything, we can also communicate via virtual network.¡±


    ¡°Mm, I got it, don¡¯t worry,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    She really didn¡¯t want her second brother to leave, but she knew the priorities.


    ¡­


    March 14th, Saturday, 2 PM.


    Guan Mountain District¡¯s first high school.


    While other students were practicing in the Martial Arts Room,


    a vice-principal, Xu Bo, and the senior grade director had brought Li Yuan, Lin Lanyue, Gu Qianghan, and ten other students to stand at the sports field, waiting.


    Li Yuan, Gu Qianghan, and the others were carrying bags on their backs.


    ¡°Li Yuan, have you been to Jiangbei Martial University before?¡± Gu Qianghan asked in a low voice.


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Jiangbei Martial Arts University¡¯s campus was over a hundred kilometers away from Jiang City and under strict control.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been there twice, following my sister.¡± Gu Qianghan said with a smile: ¡°She has a lifetime pass and can take someone with her.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan looked at Lin Lanyue, who was closing her eyes and resting, with some surprise.


    He knew Lin Lanyue¡¯s family was well-off, but to have a permanent pass to Jiangbei Martial University?


    ¡°Here it comes.¡± Xu Bo suddenly spoke up, looking up at the sky.


    Whoosh!


    A large flying vehicle that resembled an airship rapidly descended from the high sky, then quickly slowed down and gently landed on the school sports field.


    This was a colossal object, more than seventy meters long and over twenty meters high.


    Its surface was streamlined, emitting a faint blue light.


    Very beautiful.


    ¡°A second-level flying vessel, RB9 type, commonly used for short-distance passenger transport,¡± Gu Qianghan recognized it immediately and muttered: ¡°As expected of Jiangbei Martial University, so lavish.¡±


    Second-level flying vessel? Li Yuan was secretly amazed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, all of Blue Star¡¯s flying vessels were categorized as ordinary, first rank, second rank, third rank¡­ The standards hinged mainly on flight speed and protective capacity, with each rank divided into various types based on usage.


    For example, a second-rank flying vessel, once sealed, could withstand attacks from a second-rank Prime Warrior from startup to full acceleration without damage.


    Flight speed? When cruising at full speed, it was at least supersonic, and several times the speed of sound was not surprising.


    Hum~ The hatch slowly opened.


    ¡°Prepare to board,¡± Xu Bo said in a low voice.

 Chapter 102 - 98: The Commendable Elder Fei (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 102: Chapter 98: The Commendable Elder Fei (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    April 16th, 2:00 PM.


    Li Yuan took leave and, accompanied by Wan Qinghe who arrived to pick him up at school, rode a low-altitude flyer to the interview location.


    ¡°Uncle, is the interview set at the City Martial Hall?¡± Li Yuan had just sat down in the flyer when he heard Wan Qinghe¡¯s words, which surprised him.


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Wan Qinghe said with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s because Elder Fei came back early today.¡±


    ¡°He found out about this and decided to set the interview location at the City Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°So¡­¡±


    ...


    ¡°After the interview, we¡¯ll go to meet Elder Fei,¡± said Wan Qinghe.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was still full of anticipation, the City Hall Master, after all, was from the capital city.


    In terms of status and power, he was probably even higher than President Li.


    ¡°Have you memorized all the interview content?¡± Wan Qinghe casually inquired.


    ¡°Memorized it. Following your guidance, uncle, I even practiced several times in front of the mirror. I should be able to come across naturally,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°Do you want me to give you a couple of sections?¡±


    In actuality, the interview script was only given to Li Yuan this morning; where would there have been time to memorize it?


    He had just skimmed through it hastily.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see it then,¡± said Wan Qinghe.


    Soon, Li Yuan performed roughly what he remembered from the content.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Wan Qinghe was won over by Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®acting¡¯ and laughed: ¡°I glanced through the original script, some parts were too official. Your performance is more natural, and some of the rougher words you used make it seem even more real.¡±


    ¡°The changes were good.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, yeah.¡± Li Yuan nodded repeatedly; how could he not make changes? He hadn¡¯t memorized it completely.


    ¡°That¡¯s also good.¡±


    ¡°Song Yi has decided to donate ten million to the association, after taxes,¡± said Wan Qinghe nonchalantly.


    ¡°Ten million?¡± Li Yuan was shocked; he suspected he had heard wrong.


    ¡°Yes, she just V-chatted me this morning.¡±


    ¡°It must be because she heard about your breakthrough of 300 points on Fallen Star, ranking you within the top 10 of the Blue Star¡¯s young talents of Xia Country,¡± Wan Qinghe said with a smile: ¡°You¡¯re quite quick, probably gave her a real scare.¡±


    ¡°Or perhaps, she wants to form a good relationship with you.¡±


    ¡°Form a good relationship?¡± Li Yuan doubted his ears, his relationship with Song Yi wasn¡¯t that of enemies.


    But it didn¡¯t seem to be that good either.


    Logically, after taking a large sum from her, she should hate him.


    ¡°Friend and foe, right and wrong, are never absolute,¡± Wan Qinghe said with a smile: ¡°You and Song Yi don¡¯t have unresolvable grudges, so why can¡¯t you be friends?¡±


    ¡°On the contrary.¡±


    ¡°Becoming friends with Song Yi would actually highlight the authenticity of this program,¡± Wan Qinghe said with a smile: ¡°So, I answered on your behalf and agreed for you to have dinner together tonight.¡±


    ¡°Dinner together tonight? Uncle, isn¡¯t that too hasty?¡± Li Yuan hesitated: ¡°After all, she was involved with this program¡­¡±


    ¡°What program of hers?¡± Wan Qinghe shook his head: ¡°This program is my doing, aimed at making your accomplishments widely known to motivate more youths to diligently cultivate. It has nothing to do with her.¡±


    ¡°Her donation is unrelated to you, and the production and promotion of this episode are also unrelated to her.¡±


    ¡°Your dinner with her tonight is just a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°Do you understand?¡± Wan Qinghe lectured Li Yuan.


    ¡°Got it, uncle!¡±


    ¡­


    The interview for the program took place in a conference room of the Starfire Jiang City Martial Hall, fully equipped for the event.


    The host was very professional.


    It was even a locally famous program in Jiang City.


    A group of professional spectators came, and the two-hour-long interview performance by Li Yuan was highly professional.


    ¡­


    By 5:00 PM, Li Yuan and Wan Qinghe finally arrived at the central building of the City Martial Hall.


    Upon entry.


    ¡°These decorations, tsk tsk,¡± Li Yuan privately marveled.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t understand much about interior design, but he could sense that despite their seemingly humble ancient-style, these decorations exuded luxury at a glance.


    ¡°Old-fashioned and elegant, it truly reveals taste,¡± said Wan Qinghe with a light smile: ¡°Elder Fei has been in charge of the City Martial Hall for twenty years and has always valued this aspect a great deal.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Uncle, what is Lord Fei of the City Hall like as a person?¡±


    ¡°He should treat you quite nicely,¡± Wan Qinghe said with a smile: ¡°Also, in front of Elder Fei, address me as Lord Wan.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan responded, pondering the significance of the change in address.


    Soon, after passing through a security check, the two arrived at the highest floor¡¯s City Hall Master¡¯s office.


    It was quite spacious.


    The door was already open, and an elderly man in a black robe was leisurely practicing fist techniques, as if for health preservation, yet the invisible aura he emitted was very special.


    From a distance, Li Yuan instinctively sensed a hint of danger and became vigilant.


    This was the magnetic field caused by the life force of a strong being.


    ¡°Elder Fei, Li Yuan has arrived,¡± Wan Qinghe said respectfully from the doorway.


    Li Yuan followed closely behind.


    ¡°He¡¯s here? Qinghe, bring Li Yuan inside,¡± Fei Qian stopped his practice and turned around, his gaze landing on Li Yuan with a smile: ¡°Hello, Li Yuan.¡±


    Li Yuan felt the other¡¯s gaze to be gentle and not sharp, but it was as if he saw right through him.


    Very powerful.


    ¡°Hall Master Fei,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully.


    ¡°No need for formalities, given our age difference I could be your grandfather. Just call me Elder Fei or Grandpa Fei,¡± Fei Qian said with a smile.


    ¡°Grandpa Fei,¡± Li Yuan knew which option to choose.


    The three of them sat down, and Wan Qinghe began with a few necessary reports about recent work as a formality.


    ¡°Today, Li Yuan happens to be doing a program. He mentioned that he has always admired you. Just now, before I could even talk to him, he brought you up himself,¡± Wan Qinghe said smilingly.


    ¡°Is that so? Then he¡¯s thoughtful,¡± Fei Qian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan maintained a polite smile on his face.


    Admiration? He had never said such a thing; Uncle Wan was playing off-script.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of many of your deeds, Grandpa Fei. My uncle has been mentioning them for years, saying that you were his lifesaver,¡± Li Yuan blurted smoothly: ¡°During the chaos at Xiang River 34 years ago, my uncle was in the Xiang River area maintaining the engineering projects and encountered an attack from Star Realm Creatures. At that time, it was Grandpa Fei who led the team and arrived just in time to rescue my uncle and the others.¡±


    ¡°My uncle always told me and my siblings to remember you,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly.


    When praising someone, it¡¯s best to pinpoint something good or small they¡¯ve done; it easily wins their favor.


    Wan Qinghe looked at Li Yuan in surprise, wondering how he had such a deep connection with Old Fei.


    ¡°The chaos at Xiang River? That was nearly ten years ago, a major disaster. I saved many people at that time.¡± Fei Qian¡¯s eyes revealed a reflection of memories, and he sighed, ¡°I never imagined that I had also saved your uncle. That¡¯s quite the fate.¡±


    ¡°Speaking of which.¡±


    ¡°Had Grandfather Fei not saved my uncle back then, it would have been difficult for me to embark on the Martial Path,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°And today, it would have been very unlikely for me to meet Old Fei.¡±


    ¡°With that said, it¡¯s not too far-fetched for Li Yuan to call Old Fei ¡®Grandfather,''¡± Wan Qinghe said with a smile.


    Fei Qian responded modestly, ¡°As a Hall Master, saving people is my duty.¡±


    But the smile at the corner of his mouth was very obvious.


    The scene was harmonious and warm for a moment.


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind was clear as a mirror.


    Save his uncle? During the great disaster at Xiang River nine years ago, his uncle was indeed working locally, but tens of kilometers from the epicenter.


    In fact, Li Changzhou hadn¡¯t faced any danger that time.


    However, over the years, whenever Li Changzhou watched the news, he would often say, ¡°Hall Master Fei Qian of Jiang City is impressive.¡±


    Li Yuan, knowing he would meet Fei Qian yesterday, had spent 15 minutes looking up his profile.


    He had noted many of his accomplishments, and his mind was filled with suitable conversation topics.


    ¡°I¡¯m aware of your uncle¡¯s situation.¡± Fei Qian continued smoothly, ¡°There were indeed some oversights in handling the front lines, and I will help look into it¡­ Also, I just returned from the capital and happened to meet a Level 29 Prime Warrior who is very adept at the spiritual secret technique.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already made an arrangement with him; he will take the time to come to Jiang City in three days, to assist with the ¡®Consciousness Awakening Device¡¯ and perform an awakening for your uncle,¡± Fei Qian said solemnly. ¡°Hoping for success on the first try.¡±


    ¡°A Level 29 Prime Warrior skilled in spiritual secret techniques? Coming especially for my uncle?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Wan Qinghe explained softly, ¡°Level 29 Prime Warriors are all Fifth Stage experts, who from the inside out, achieve Unity of Heaven and Man and can begin to leverage the power of the elements gradually.¡±


    ¡°Among them, those adept at spiritual secret techniques have a very high success rate in waking coma patients, even without the assistance of technological devices,¡± Wan Qinghe said. ¡°Inviting such an expert has cost Old Fei quite a favor.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Grandfather Fei,¡± Li Yuan expressed his sincere gratitude.


    No matter if the other party was genuinely optimistic about him or had other motives, one should judge by actions, not intentions.


    As long as his uncle could be awakened, Li Yuan would remember it in his heart.


    ¡°Favors are of no particular concern, your uncle is a hero who deserved to be saved,¡± Fei Qian lamented. ¡°Such determination and courage are beyond ordinary people.¡±


    ¡°If everyone had your uncle¡¯s courage and perseverance, the many wars we fight against the Star Realm Creatures would be much easier to win.¡±


    Li Yuan and Wan Qinghe both nodded in agreement.


    This was indeed true.


    ¡°Li Yuan, there¡¯s another matter I need to inform you about, concerning the ¡®Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal¡¯ that Lord Yang of the Province promised you,¡± Fei Qian said gravely. ¡°You must do everything in your power to acquire it.¡±


    ¡°Grandfather Fei.¡±


    ¡°What exactly is this Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Wan Qinghe was curious as well.


    ¡°It¡¯s a very special treasure related to the use of Origin Power,¡± Fei Qian explained. ¡°If you have it, Li Yuan, the success rate of your Law Creation could increase by at least twenty percent.¡±


    Fei Qian had also obtained news about the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal from his visit to the capital, where he specifically inquired about it.


    ¡°Increase by twenty percent?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    According to what President Li had said, with his talent, the normal success rate for Law Creation was forty to fifty percent.


    And this mysterious Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal could increase it by another twenty percent?


    It seemed almost too good to be true.


    ¡°Lord Yang of the Province thinks highly of you, which is why he made such a promise,¡± Fei Qian said with some emotion. ¡°Otherwise, even for Flying Heaven Warriors, it would not be easy to obtain such Heavenly Materials Treasures.¡±


    ¡°To acquire it,¡±


    ¡°there is just one condition, you must reach the threshold of Fifth Stage Skill by the age of twenty,¡± Fei Qian looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan felt the pressure, Fifth Stage Skill?


    Normally, this was the Skill Realm of Level 29 Prime Warriors. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    What about him? He had just approached the Intermediate Rank of Fourth Level Skill.


    The more he understood the gap between Fourth and Fifth Stages, the clearer Li Yuan became about how difficult this step would be.


    ¡°Take it step by step, the Provincial Hall Master made that promise because he believes you have the potential.¡±


    ¡°Your growth rate has also been accelerating,¡± Fei Qian said with a smile. ¡°Add my private V number, and if you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can directly message me.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Grandfather Fei,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully, and they added each other on V chat.


    ¡­


    At dinner, Li Yuan and Song Yi had a very enjoyable conversation. After the feast, Wan Qinghe and Li Yuan returned to Guan Mountain Martial Hall.


    Watching Li Yuan return to his Martial Arts Room, Wan Qinghe also returned to his top-floor office.


    ¡°Old Fei is Old Fei.¡±


    ¡°I thought he might try to close the gap with Li Yuan by sponsoring him,¡± Wan Qinghe sighed inwardly. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to invite such a special Level 29 Prime Warrior to save Li Yuan¡¯s uncle.¡±


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°Simple money and goods, at Li Yuan¡¯s stage, continuing to give may not necessarily lead to heartfelt gratitude,¡± Wan Qinghe realized. ¡°Being too deliberate in courting favor can easily backfire.¡±


    Many things can¡¯t be resolved with just money.


    It takes heart.


    ¡­


    The Seven Star Alliance represents the most powerful force of human civilization, overriding nations.


    Its headquarters is located on Feixing, which is also the most powerful among the Seven Great Planets of the Human Race.


    Early in the morning, within the floating giant sky city.


    Gazing downward from the sky city, one could see a towering volcano in the far distance, its peak perennially covered with snow.


    Inside a Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± Swoosh! Streaks of sword light cut through the Vast Sky, exceedingly sharp.


    ¡°Little sis, you¡¯re up so early for cultivation? It¡¯s just six o¡¯clock,¡± a figure in a black robe entered the Martial Arts Room and stared at Lin Lanyue in surprise.


    ¡°Brother, is six o¡¯clock still considered early?¡± Lin Lanyue sheathed her sword and looked toward the courtyard entrance.


    ¡°Is six o¡¯clock not early?¡± The figure in the black robe was taken aback.


    ¡°If practicing at six o¡¯clock is regarded as early, then what about those who start cultivating at four o¡¯clock or even earlier every day?¡± Lin Lanyue gently shook her head. ¡°Brother, did you need something?¡±

 Chapter 103 - 99: College Entrance Exam in June (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 103: Chapter 99: College Entrance Exam in June (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    ¡°Getting up at four in the morning for cultivation without rest?¡± Big Brother Lin was puzzled, ¡°Even for a Prime Warrior, that¡¯s not possible, is it?¡±


    ¡°Combining work with rest is the only way to endure in the long run.¡±


    ¡°Unless one reaches the level of a Flying Heaven Warrior, becomes attuned with the heavens and nature, they might be able to rejuvenate at any time. Otherwise, who can push themselves so hard?¡± Big Brother Lin said earnestly, ¡°Even Dongfang Ji, our senior, only mentioned training for sixteen hours a day.¡±


    Lin Lanyue didn¡¯t say anything.


    In her mind, she involuntarily recalled the scene described to her by Gu Qianghan after returning from Jiangbei Martial University, ¡°Sis, that Li Yuan is simply a madman, a masochist. He practices every night, and then gets up again at four or five in the morning¡­ I really admire him. If he doesn¡¯t succeed, who would?¡±


    Gu Qianghan¡¯s emphatic words.


    ...


    Made the then Lin Lanyue gain a deeper understanding of Li Yuan.


    This was an extremely self-disciplined person with a steadfast goal, one who strove towards it relentlessly.


    ¡°Bro, what exactly is it?¡± Lin Lanyue asked once more.


    ¡°It¡¯s about Li Yuan,¡± Big Brother Lin said with a smile, ¡°Do you want to know?¡±


    ¡°Bro, if you¡¯re going to tell me, tell me. If not, don¡¯t delay my cultivation,¡± Lin Lanyue shot him a glance.


    She clearly understood the difference between her eldest brother and her second brother; if the eldest got hold of some news, he¡¯d be too antsy to keep it to himself.


    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯m convinced,¡± Big Brother Lin said helplessly, raising his hand to bring up some data on the light screen.


    All of it concerned Li Yuan.


    ¡°First in both subjects? First in Jiang City¡¯s bare Martial Path score?¡± Lin Lanyue murmured to herself.


    Perfect scores! That was a truly terrifying achievement.


    ¡°Little sis, you don¡¯t seem so surprised,¡± Big Brother Lin said smilingly, ¡°Did you know in advance? Or have you been communicating with Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°No, and I wasn¡¯t aware,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s indeed incredible that he could achieve such results, but when I think about the effort he has put in, it¡¯s not surprising.¡±


    ¡°He has indeed practiced arduously,¡± Big Brother Lin nodded, ¡°Besides his academic results in the April exams, I just got news that he should have broken past 300 points in Fallen Star.¡±


    ¡°Fourth Level Intermediate Rank in skills?¡± Lin Lanyue finally showed a hint of surprise.


    She was very aware that Li Yuan had just entered the Fourth Level a month ago.


    Has he progressed this fast?


    You should know, because of practicing the Nirvana Divine Scripture, she was able to come to Feixing early for special training. Whether in physical quality or skills, her progress has been much faster.


    But now, her skills were still slightly lacking behind reaching complete perfection of the Third Rank.


    ¡°Fate often favors the more diligent,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a slight smile.


    ¡°Little sis, do you really like him?¡± Big Brother Lin suddenly asked.


    ¡°Like?¡±


    Facing her big brother¡¯s question, Lin Lanyue didn¡¯t show any embarrassment, but after thinking for a while, she said, ¡°Perhaps, it¡¯s more that I admire him.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s fine, you¡¯ve always been decisive, and it¡¯s good as long as you know what you want,¡± Big Brother Lin said with a smile.


    He was an experienced person; by looking at the way Lin Lanyue was, he clearly understood.


    But he didn¡¯t mind.


    It has always been thus, from ancient times until now, that young boys admire and girls cherish spring; it¡¯s better to guide than to suppress feelings.


    ¡°Bro, you better not tell father and mother about this,¡± Lin Lanyue suddenly glared at her big brother.


    ¡°Ha ha, why would I tell them?¡± Big Brother Lin laughed, ¡°You¡¯re not a child, just be happy.¡±


    Big Brother Lin was very open-minded, although if the family knew, they would definitely have opinions.


    But who was he?


    He was Lin Lanyue¡¯s big brother, after all!


    In his eyes, as long as his sister was not wronged, she could do whatever she wanted.


    Even if the sky were to fall, there were still her two brothers to stand tall for her; besides, he also found Li Yuan to be not bad.


    ¡°However, little sis, I still have to remind you.¡±


    ¡°You mean well, but do you know what Li Yuan thinks? You did quite a lot for him, just saving his uncle, but¡­¡± Big Brother Lin couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Bro,¡±


    Lin Lanyue cut him off, frowning and saying, ¡°Before I came to Feixing, I told you, what¡¯s done is done, it wasn¡¯t a big deal.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care how he thinks.¡±


    ¡°In the Martial Path, the aim is to have clear thoughts and a heart without regrets.¡±


    ¡°Whatever I do, I do for myself. Helping him wasn¡¯t to get him to do anything for me,¡± Lin Lanyue said earnestly.


    Deep down, Lin Lanyue was a stubborn person, even carrying a hint of rebelliousness.


    That was related to her living alone in Jiang City from a young age.


    Although she had maids, bodyguards, martial arts teachers, and everything else she needed, she lacked familial warmth.


    ¡°Alright, alright, as long as you are clear in your heart,¡±


    Big Brother Lin surrendered, ¡°Do you want to take a rest day today?¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Fire Bath¡¯ in Nirvana Divine Scripture gets better with each consecutive day of practice,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head, ¡°I¡¯ve only continued for six days.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s get through today first.¡±


    A glint of sympathy flashed through Big Brother Lin¡¯s eyes, but he didn¡¯t try to persuade her further.


    The Fire Bath is indeed a burning in special flames.


    Not many can completely endure such agony.


    But he had to admit, his sister¡¯s willpower was truly exceptional, certainly top-notch for her age.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take you to Changji Volcano later,¡± Big Brother Lin said.


    Watching her big brother leave,


    ¡°A spiritual marrow cleansing three times a month?¡± Lin Lanyue murmured to herself, remembering the information about Li Yuan she had seen earlier.


    She knew very well the pain of a spiritual marrow cleansing.


    ¡°Six days?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can endure ten days. I can¡¯t lose by too much,¡± a flicker of determination shone in Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes.


    She continued practicing her swordsmanship.


    Every day, she practiced swordsmanship for half the day, then endured a ¡®Fire Bath¡¯ for half a day to temper her body.


    ¡­


    On the evening of April 17th, Li Yuan returned home.


    ¡°Bro, come and watch your program.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s replaying!¡±


    ¡°Come and watch.¡± Li Qianqian and Li Muhua had already dashed over, both quite excited.


    On the distant sofa, Chen Hui was all smiles.


    ¡°Program?¡± Li Yuan was initially stunned, instantly realizing they were talking about his interview program.


    It¡¯s already being broadcast?


    Li Yuan, dragged by his brother and sister without even having time to take off his shoes, arrived in the living room.


    On the light screen projection, indeed, Li Yuan¡¯s interview program was being played.


    ¡°¡®The Impoverished Martial Arts Champion from Jiangbei? Uncovering the Bitter Past Behind a Martial Path Genius¡¯?¡± Li Yuan repeated the promotional language read by the host for the episode.


    In an instant, Li Yuan wished he could find a hole to crawl into.


    ¡°`


    Which shock department did that come from?


    ¡°Auntie, this is a promotional program from the Martial Hall, the script was prepared in advance,¡± Li Yuan hurriedly explained.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your aunt studied journalism before,¡± Chen Hui said with a smile: ¡°I get all this stuff about the news.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, glad that his aunt didn¡¯t overthink it.


    Within the light screen.


    ¡°Since I was young, I¡¯ve aspired to join the Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan said seriously: ¡°It¡¯s a Martial Hall founded by Dongfang Ji, and I¡¯ve always admired Dongfang¡­¡±


    ¡°I heard that the Starry Sky Martial Hall was the first to invite you, initially offering a D-level contract, right?¡± the host asked.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°The Starry Sky Martial Hall was indeed the first to invite me, and they prepared a C-level contract for me,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face was filled with a young person¡¯s ¡®sincerity¡¯: ¡°Hall Master Song Yi is a tremendously kind person. She spoke to me personally, saying although she didn¡¯t have enough authority, if I were willing to sign, she would definitely help me apply for a B-level contract later on, and was even willing to sponsor me privately.¡±


    ¡°Hall Master Song Yi is a very outstanding, dedicated Hall Master,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly: ¡°It¡¯s not that Starry Sky Martial Hall is bad, but I wanted to join Starfire more¡­¡±


    ¡­ ¡°Li Yuan is the most outstanding youth I¡¯ve discovered in recent years. At the time, I didn¡¯t have enough B-level contract slots, so I made a special request to Fei Qian, the City Martial Hall Master. He approved immediately,¡± Wan Qinghe said in an interview within the VCR.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan has a strong sense of justice. He¡¯s also the recipient of the Young Hero title,¡± a classmate of Li Yuan¡¯s said during an interview.


    ¡­ In the end.


    ¡°Not being able to invite Li Yuan might be my life¡¯s biggest regret,¡± even Song Yi appeared in the VCR, her face showing loss, but also a hint of pride: ¡°But his growth along the way has proven that my initial judgement was correct; he truly is an uncut gem.¡±


    ¡°If anyone¡¯s to blame, it¡¯s just that this kid, Li Yuan, is too determined. Once he sets a goal, he rarely deviates from it.¡±


    ¡°However, no matter which Martial Hall he joins, he¡¯s a genius of Xia Country,¡± Song Yi said with resounding conviction, elevating the intention of the entire program: ¡°I have great faith in Li Yuan, and I look forward to the day when he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, defending the lands of our Xia Country.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan watched the program, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly!


    He remembered the dinner party from the night before, where both sides had a great time.


    Wan Qinghe had promised to Song Yi a spotlight.


    ¡°Exchanging a feature for an extra four million,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself: ¡°Can the higher-ups of the Starry Sky Martial Hall really be trusted?¡±


    But.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t care too much, as long as the money was in hand.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had no idea that the evening¡¯s program was just the beginning. Over the next two days.


    The show continued to ferment, spreading in online forums in various districts of Jiang City, even throughout Jiangbei Province.


    Li Yuan actually showed signs of becoming truly famous.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, 666!¡±


    ¡°You even got on a show? Brother Yuan, when did you shoot this? You didn¡¯t tell us.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, your social media account followers have exploded, from over a thousand, now it¡¯s soared to over thirty thousand.¡±


    ¡°Over forty thousand!¡±


    ¡°Fifty thousand, it¡¯s broken fifty thousand,¡± Li Yuan became the talk of the school once again.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, next time you go to the noodle shop by the school gate, the owner will definitely recognize you.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t pay too much attention to the program.


    A week later. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Starry Sky Martial Hall¡¯s triennial review ended, and Song Yi had passed smoothly. She sent a ¡®thank you¡¯ emoji to Li Yuan via V-chat.


    Inside Starfire Guanshan Branch¡¯s Martial Arts Room 7024.


    ¡°I hustled her, and she¡¯s still thanking me?¡± Li Yuan shook his head as he glanced at the bank account figures.


    Bank Balance: 18.79 million Blue Star Coins


    Martial Hall Points: 4.08 million


    Martial Hall Cultivation Points: 9.57 million


    ¡°I haven¡¯t really spent any Blue Star Coins. I gave Auntie two million, and here I¡¯ve raked in ten million,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Almost reaching twenty million.¡±


    However, the consumption of Martial Hall Points was massive.


    In just one month, just buying cultivation resources had cost Li Yuan over 2.6 million.


    The main reason was that his body¡¯s evolution required more than what the cultivation plan had estimated.


    To sustain a month, thirty bottles of First Rank Blood Qi Medicine, four Essence Pills of Origin Power, and three portions of Spirit Marrow Cleansing every month, would cost 1.3 million points/Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Got the second batch.¡±


    ¡°Enough for body evolution needs until mid-May,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Clang~


    Li Yuan opened the door to the ¡®heat preservation box¡¯ in the physiotherapy room, taking out a bottle of Spirit Marrow Cleansing.


    He gritted his teeth.


    ¡°Damn, here we go again.¡±


    ¡°Is everyone at Kunlun Martial University a freak? All tougher than me?¡± Li Yuan grumbled to himself: ¡°Makes sense, university students are definitely stronger than high school students.¡±


    High school students always have a bit of admiration for university students.


    After a while.


    ¡°Ah!¡± From inside the whole-body physiotherapy machine, Li Yuan¡¯s groan, a mix of pain and relief, sounded once more.


    ¡­


    On April 27th.


    The Prime Warrior, skilled in spiritual secret techniques and invited by Hall Master Fei Qian, arrived in conjunction with the hospital¡¯s top-level ¡®Consciousness Awakening Device.¡¯


    After an hour¡¯s effort.


    Uncle Li Changzhou finally woke up.


    ¡­


    On May 10th, Li Changzhou was discharged from the hospital.


    He didn¡¯t return to his previous home but moved directly to the new house in Starfire South Lake Community, where Li Yuan and his family lived.


    ¡­


    By May 15th, Li Yuan and his family had moved all their belongings into their new home.


    ¡­


    As time went by day by day, Li Changzhou temporarily stopped working and recuperated at home.


    Auntie went back to her job at the school.


    Following Dongfang Ji¡¯s ¡®Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement,¡¯ for the recruitment of talents by Martial Arts Universities and Cultural Universities across the Seven Great Planets, a unified format of college entrance exams was adopted.


    So, as time stepped into June.


    In Jiang City and throughout Xia Country, one could even say the whole of Blue Star.


    Almost all countries and all eyes were on the annual college entrance examination.


    This was the test that determined the fate of countless people.

    Chapter 104: Chapter 100: A Promising Future Is a Farewell (Extra for Silver League ¡®Song Chuyu¡¯)


    As the strongest nation on Blue Star,


    Xia Country¡¯s college entrance exam schedule also aligns with the unified schedule for all nations on Blue Star, which is on June 6, 7, and 8.


    June 4, at Guan Mountain District¡¯s First High School.


    A little after ten in the morning, before the second period began.


    Starting from the afternoon of the 4th, a holiday would commence to allow all students to rest, adjust, and review independently.


    Therefore, this period was also the last class for all high school seniors.


    ...


    In Class 2 of the Senior year, the classroom was still noisy and boisterous; aside from a few individuals, most students were chatting with each other, enjoying the last moments of their high school careers.


    By this point, no one was making a last-ditch effort to cram for the exams.


    Everyone had a clear understanding in their hearts.


    In the last two days, all that was required was to maintain the right attitude and briefly review cultural class formulas; the big picture was already set.


    ¡°It¡¯s finally coming. It¡¯s been so hard to endure! At last, it¡¯s at an end,¡± Yan Zhou muttered, ¡°Once I get into university, I¡¯ll relax and have several intense romances to make up for what I missed in high school.¡±


    ¡°You?¡± Zhou Qi scoffed, ¡°You blush at the sight of girls.¡±


    ¡°What about you?¡± Yan Zhou retorted, ¡°You talk about Peng Lingling all day. Did you even get a chance with her?¡±


    ¡°Bullshit, that¡¯s not fawning, that¡¯s respect,¡± Zhou Qi snapped, ¡°Besides, Lingling already agreed to date me after the entrance exam.¡±


    ¡°Oh Zhou, believe me, last time she said she would date you after entering Senior year, but what happened?¡±


    ¡°This time is for real.¡± The two talked excitedly.


    Deep down, Zhou Qi probably knew that ¡®Peng Lingling¡¯ had been leading him on all along.


    But then again, wasn¡¯t Zhou Qi enjoying the process as well?


    Li Yuan sat calmly at his desk.


    With his Entry Rank physical quality and powerful hearing, he could easily make out most of the conversations between his classmates.


    Although Li Yuan had spent more time practicing at the Martial Hall since the second semester of high school and his academic performance and Martial Arts Cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds,


    He had gradually become somewhat distanced from his classmates.


    This was something that couldn¡¯t be changed by mere will.


    Almost all students understood that after the entrance exam, Li Yuan was destined to soar high and get admitted into one of the top five prestigious universities.


    Becoming a Prime Warrior in the future would be a modest goal for him.


    Classmates appeared equal on the surface, but it was merely by chance they had shared a classroom for three years.


    Nevertheless, Li Yuan always enjoyed his time in the classroom, especially in cultural studies classes.


    ¡°After entering university, I¡¯ll focus on Martial Path. When my body reaches level 15, I¡¯ll need to venture into the Star Realms to hone my combat skills,¡± Li Yuan silently reflected, ¡°When that time comes, these leisurely days will be gone forever.¡±


    Li Yuan looked out the window at the midsummer sunlight. It was very bright but not dazzling.


    It felt warm on his skin.


    Soon.


    It would be the last class of high school.


    ¡­


    ¡°Ding ling ling~¡± A few minutes later, the bell rang, and all the students gradually quieted down, preparing for the teacher¡¯s arrival.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Bang~¡± ¡°Thud~¡± A series of footsteps sounded outside the classroom, indicating the presence of several people. Li Yuan caught it immediately.


    ¡°So many people?¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    Soon, Li Yuan¡¯s puzzlement was resolved.


    It wasn¡¯t just the cultural studies class teacher ¡®Teacher Chen¡¯ who came, but all the subject teachers.


    Instantly, the students in the class became excited and began to laugh with joy.


    You should know that yesterday and today, many subject teachers had already had their ¡®last lesson¡¯ with the students and said their farewells.


    Young people are so easily moved.


    ¡°Students, this is the last class. To speak of knowledge points, actually, there isn¡¯t much left to say. With three years of high school study, I believe everyone is well prepared,¡± Teacher Chen said with a smile, and slowly continued, ¡°For the last class, I and the other subject teachers discussed it.¡±


    ¡°We still felt, we should formally say farewell to the students,¡± said Teacher Chen, her eyes brimming with tears.


    She was very strict, and every student in the class, including Li Yuan, had been criticized by her.


    But at the last class, she became quite emotional.


    ¡°Our teachers in this class are all excellent,¡± Teacher Chen¡¯s voice softened, ¡°Like Teacher Li, who insisted on working until just a few days before giving birth last semester; like Teacher Long, you are his last group of students¡­¡±


    As she spoke,


    All the subject teachers looking at the students they had been with day and night for three years, felt somewhat nostalgic.


    And the students sitting in the class, especially many of the girls, began to tear up.


    ¡°Actually, every teacher has a lot they want to say to you all, but we feel that it¡¯s time for goodbyes and there is no need for too many words,¡± Teacher Chen struggled to control her emotions and spoke slowly, ¡°In this final stretch, all we teachers want to do is leave you with a message.¡±


    As she spoke,


    Whoosh~ Teacher Chen tapped her smart ring, and immediately, a lot of text appeared on the blackboard¡¯s screen behind her.


    All the students looked over.


    ¡°Fortunate to have known you all, it has been a privilege. As your teachers, we are limited in our skills, we have shared all we could, but still fall short,¡± Teacher Chen tried her best to manage her emotions and repeated the words on the screen word for word, ¡°May all students have a bright future and may your efforts not be in vain!¡±


    As the last word was spoken,


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Teacher Chen, along with all the subject teachers, bowed deeply to all the students.


    Finally.


    This scene caused almost everyone to get up from their seats, with many girls unable to hold back their tears.


    ¡°Teacher, you are the best.¡±


    ¡°We will definitely achieve good results and not disappoint you.¡±


    ¡°Teacher,¡± more and more students couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, their voices tinged with sobs or filled with determination.


    Even the rational Li Yuan was slightly affected, feeling a warmth in his eyes.


    It was the purest of emotions, untainted by any interests.


    All the teachers stood up, with several female teachers also having teary eyes but smiling faces.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Teacher.¡± A voice, slightly choked and clear, rang out, ¡°We¡¯ve also prepared a few words in private, which we¡¯d like to give to you teachers.¡±


    It was Li Shutong, the class valedictorian and class president.


    At that moment,


    Not just the subject teachers, even Teacher Chen showed a hint of surprise on her face.


    ¡°All stand,¡± Li Shutong said with a trembling voice, loud and clear.


    Rustling.


    Immediately, all the students stood up one by one, their lips pursed, eyes earnestly fixed on the figures on the platform.


    The next instant, as if by an unspoken understanding from three years of day-to-day association, no one called out a preparatory command.


    ¡°Teachers above us.¡±


    All the students began to recite in unison: ¡°We students, dull and slow, have been fortunate to receive generous instruction from our teachers. Though mountains high and paths long lie ahead, we shall stride forth and endeavor to repay the peach and plum graces of our mentors.¡±


    ¡­


    Accompanied by the sound of the end-of-class bell.


    The last lesson for all the senior three students ended with the teachers¡¯ blessings of a ¡®future as bright as brocade¡¯.


    The high school journey was about to come to an end.


    Many classmates began to make promises to ¡®apply to the same university,¡¯ ¡®meet up more often after the college entrance exam,¡¯ ¡®gather once a year in the future,¡¯ and ¡®return to school together to visit the teachers.¡¯


    But nearly all the teachers, watching the students they had taught for three years making these solemn promises to each other, understood one thing very well¡ªthe future as bright as brocade meant parting ways.


    High school graduation means many people say goodbye, which could mean never seeing each other again.


    However, no teacher would burst their bubble.


    Because, what good would that do? These students wouldn¡¯t believe it.


    They mostly think, ¡®with Weixin groups and convenient transportation, meeting up is easy, so why won¡¯t we see each other again?¡¯


    They are in the prime of their youth.


    They should enjoy their youth.


    The greatest regret in life is being unable to possess youth and the full appreciation of it at the same time.


    But likewise, this is precisely what true youth is about; without experiencing it, how can one gain that appreciation?


    It¡¯s like a video game, where the exploration phase is the most enchanting one¡ªyou get to enjoy every bit of growth.


    Once you clear the game, it becomes tasteless.


    ¡­


    With his backpack slung over his shoulders, Li Yuan left the classroom, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the neighboring class.


    It was the classroom of Class One, Senior Three.


    Scanning the bustling crowd, he didn¡¯t spot the figure he wanted to see in his heart.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, where are you planning to go?¡± Zhou Qi smiled as he spoke from beside him: ¡°We¡¯re thinking of sitting on the sports field a bit longer before going home.¡±


    ¡°No,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the Martial Hall to train,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°You guys chat.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Zhou Qi nodded.


    ¡°See you, Brother Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Goodbye, Li Yuan.¡± Many people greeted Li Yuan as they passed, and even students from other classes waved to him.


    Down the stairs.


    As if driven by some inexplicable force, Li Yuan didn¡¯t head directly out of the school gate but instead went to the Elite Building.


    He climbed to the fourth floor and just took a glance.


    Li Yuan then turned around and went downstairs, striding towards the distant office building and arrived on the first floor.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan stood at the door of Xu Bo¡¯s office.


    Xu Bo was standing by the window, lost in thought as he watched a throng of smiling students streaming out in the distance.


    ¡°You¡¯ve come?¡± Xu Bo turned around to look at Li Yuan, a look of relief spreading across his face.


    They both knew that this chapter of their teacher-student bond was coming to an end.


    Li Yuan was soon to enter a much broader field of development.


    ¡°Do your best on the exam.¡±


    ¡°With your abilities, performing normally is as easy as playing, when it comes to breaking the national line,¡± Xu Bo said with a smile: ¡°I believe in you.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, mhm.¡±


    Li Yuan responded with a smile: ¡°I¡¯ll just do as you¡¯ve always said, treat every test as if it¡¯s the college entrance exam, and then, the college entrance exam will be just another test.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha,¡± Xu Bo laughed proudly. This was the most outstanding disciple he had taught over the years.


    ¡­


    In the last two days, Li Yuan neither relaxed nor grew tense, as his considerable strength had given him enough confidence.


    He continued to practice regularly, but also didn¡¯t give up on reviewing his academic subjects on the last day.


    Time moved forward to June 6th.


    ¡­


    The college entrance examination assigned students to random testing centers in various districts.


    Li Yuan was assigned to ¡®Guan Mountain District High School No. 5.¡¯


    Amidst the citywide processions, traffic police clearing the way, and sounds of gongs and drums, Jiang City¡¯s 2043 college entrance exam officially began.


    Even though Li Yuan said he would take a flying vehicle to the test center and there was no need to worry,


    Uncle Li Changzhou and Auntie Chen Hui still insisted on being there to see him off.


    For them, even though they know Li Yuan has a 99% chance of getting into one of the top five universities,


    And even though they¡¯re aware that Li Yuan has become accomplished, their hearts won¡¯t be at ease until everything is settled.


    ¡°Everyone is going to send off their kids, so we should too,¡± Chen Hui declared.


    Li Yuan laughed, his heart as clear as a mirror.


    To his uncle and aunt, him taking the college entrance exam was like a ¡®rite of passage to adulthood,¡¯ as well as the most important comfort to his deceased parents. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    How could they not be present at such a moment?


    A day and a half of academic testing.


    A whole day of practical martial arts examinations.


    As each senior student stepped out of the final martial arts testing venue, it ushered in the end of their youth.


    In a certain sense,


    The end of high school signaled the upcoming university era, which symbolizes ¡®youth¡¯ itself.


    ¡­


    The college entrance examination was a solemn affair, and thus, the scoring, reviewing, and tallying of results took three days.


    On June 12th, the results came out, also marking the day when various score lines were drawn.


    Twelve years of arduous study culminated on this day as the dust settled.

    Chapter 105: Chapter 101: Top 10 in Xia Country Among the 77 in the Province! (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Starfire South Lake Residential Area, Zone One.


    House No. 225.


    As one of the top villa areas in Guan Mountain District, it¡¯s on par with Starry Sky South Lake Residential Area, where each villa occupies a substantial plot.


    That¡¯s where Li Yuan¡¯s new home is located.


    Three floors above ground, with a construction area of over 800 square meters, a garden of more than 500 square meters, and even larger underground space¡­ this is the new home prepared for Li Yuan by Starfire Martial Hall.


    If it were to be put on sale, this villa alone, in its bare-bones state, would cost more than 50 million. Not to mention, the specially reinforced martial arts room underground¡­ the total cost exceeds 80 million Blue Star Coins, and key point, it¡¯s not even eligible for purchase.


    ...


    Twenty-year residential rights.


    Today is June 12, the day high school examination results are released. Li Yuan, his uncle Li Changzhou, and his aunt Chen Hui, all stayed in the living room on the first floor, waiting for the results.


    It¡¯s Friday, so Li Qianqian and Li Muhua have already gone to school.


    ¡°Uncle, Aunt, don¡¯t worry,¡±


    Li Yuan, seeing his uncle and aunt nervous and fidgety, smiled and said, ¡°I will definitely pass.¡±


    After experiencing so much and having absolute confidence in his own abilities, Li Yuan was very composed.


    The national line? Easy to surpass.


    ¡°We know, but¡­¡± Li Changzhou shook his head.


    The closer it gets to the revelation of the results, the more nervous parents tend to become, because they understand the significance of the college entrance examination.


    During the waiting time, relatives occasionally called to ask about ¡®Li Yuan¡¯s¡¯ exam results.


    You see, over the past decade, Li Yuan barely made an impression on the relatives around him.


    These years, not many have come to visit.


    For one thing, relatives are aware of the situation of Li Yuan¡¯s uncle and aunt. The medical expenses for Li Yuan when he was a child were staggering, and with such a heavy burden, these relatives all feared being asked to lend money.


    Secondly, Li Yuan¡¯s father and Li Changzhou were the only two siblings, and aunt Chen Hui was an only child, so most of the so-called relatives were cousins or distant kin.


    With one generation close, the next generation becomes cousins, and by Li Yuan¡¯s generation, these familial ties were already quite distant.


    But most of these relatives were from Jiang City.


    Thus, starting in April, after the broadcast of the program Li Yuan was on, and its spread throughout Jiang City and even Jiangbei Province, the number of ¡®relatives¡¯ who cared about Li Yuan slowly increased.


    ¡°Hey, cousin! Li Yuan¡¯s results aren¡¯t out yet; let¡¯s talk later¡­¡± Chen Hui answered nonchalantly.


    Of course.


    There were also some calls from those who had truly cared and helped Li Yuan¡¯s family through the years, like Zhong Cheng and Uncle Wang.


    Finally, it reached nine o¡¯clock.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you can check the results now,¡± said aunt Chen Hui, approaching with a nervous smile, trying not to seem too eager.


    Li Changzhou also looked over, but didn¡¯t speak.


    As the head of the family, the uncle always managed to stay calm.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Yuan smiled, tapped on the smart ring watch, a screen popped up, and he directly entered the score checking page.


    Li Yuan was well prepared.


    ¡°Beep¡ª¡± The page even paused momentarily, an almost unbelievable occurrence with today¡¯s communication efficiency¡­ but it was just a brief hiccup.


    At this moment, it wasn¡¯t just the people of Xia Country but those from all nations of Blue Star checking their high school examination scores.


    Swish!


    The score page popped up, with Li Yuan finding two more heads peeking from either side, all staring at the score displayed:


    Name: Li Yuan


    Major: Martial Path


    ID number: 420111202508298013


    Examination number: XXXX


    Physique: 500


    Technique: 400


    Culture: 86


    Bonus points: 20


    Total score: 1006


    National line: 941


    Provincial line: 772


    Provincial ranking: 77 S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    Upon seeing the total score of 1006 and the provincial ranking of 77.


    Aunt Chen Hui finally let go of a burden that felt like a thousand kilos, her excited smile breaking out, even accompanied by tears of joy.


    Her decade-long worry.


    At this moment, it was completely released.


    Chen Hui felt that all her efforts over the past decade were truly worth it.


    ¡°Great! Great!¡± Li Changzhou also laughed, reaching out to embrace his wife.


    He knew of the hardships Chen Hui had endured over the past decade, with anxiety, struggling, and enduring so much, often alone at home caring for three children.


    Now, it was finally time for the bitter to turn sweet.


    ¡°Uncle, Aunt, you can relax now,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, very satisfied with his score.


    He still scored full marks in the Martial Arts section. With his spiritual power getting stronger and learning capacity improving, Li Yuan¡¯s cultural score also reached a new high in the college entrance examination.


    However, limited by the bonus points, his total score was doomed to fall short of many others.


    So, Li Yuan was very satisfied with the ¡¯77th¡¯ provincial ranking.


    On this side.


    Aunt, having regained her composure, started ringing back the relatives one by one: ¡°Hello, cousin! Let me tell you, the results have just come out. Li Yuan only scored 1006, barely over the national line for martial arts by 60 points. He didn¡¯t perform well¡­¡±


    Li Yuan and Li Changzhou exchanged a glance and both smiled.


    Today, for Chen Hui, Li Yuan¡¯s results were like a ¡®work summary¡¯ of her more than ten years, her most glorious moment.


    No amount of bragging would be too much.


    ¡°You should quickly give a V-call to those seniors and teachers of yours to report your score,¡± Li Changzhou reminded, ¡°The sooner, the better, to show your respect.¡±


    ¡°Especially the teachers from Kunlun Martial University, give them peace of mind,¡± said Li Changzhou.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Yuan immediately made a series of V-calls.


    Xu Bo, Teacher Chen, Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, the military base¡¯s senior Ji, Fan Jin, President Li¡­ This too was a summary of Li Yuan¡¯s achievements.


    For Li Yuan, who had already signed with Kunlun Martial University.


    This result was a near-perfect report card.


    ¡°Yes, President Li¡­ Oh, the admissions notice will be issued in five days, with registration on the 28th of June, and classes starting on July 3rd?¡± Li Yuan spoke with President Li on the call.


    After all the calls were done, it was already after ten o¡¯clock.


    Aunt Chen Hui, after having bragged for a while, had already moved into the kitchen to get busy.


    She wanted to cook some dishes to celebrate the occasion.


    Li Yuan and uncle Li Changzhou stepped out into the yard together, basking in the midsummer sunlight.


    ¡°Li Yuan, we owe you a lot for this time,¡± Li Changzhou said softly. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have been able to come back.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t say that,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°Our family should be well, and now everything is fine.¡±


    Li Changzhou smiled, refrained from any rebuttals, knowing Li Yuan¡¯s character.


    ¡°When do you plan to report to Kunlun Martial University?¡± Li Changzhou asked.


    ¡°7.2,¡± Li Yuan had already decided.


    ¡°That late?¡± Li Changzhou was somewhat surprised, having just overheard the conversation between Li Yuan and President Li.


    ¡°I wanted to spend a few more days at home, to keep you and Auntie company,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Kunlun Martial University has only a half-month vacation every six months. Once I go to university, it will be difficult to come home.¡±


    ¡°It won¡¯t delay your training, will it?¡± Li Changzhou frowned.


    ¡°Not at all. The martial arts room at home is sufficient for my training, and there is no shortage of cultivation resources,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Changzhou¡¯s brows relaxed, ¡°In that case, it¡¯s settled. You make your own decisions regarding the martial path. I¡¯ve got some free time too, so let¡¯s have a good chat, just the two of us.¡±


    In truth, Li Changzhou hoped that Li Yuan could relax for a few days.


    During the time at home, he had watched Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation and had come to an updated understanding.


    He felt Li Yuan was pushing himself too hard. His fanatical dedication to cultivation made even him feel queasy.


    Too much is as bad as too little.


    ¡°By the way, Uncle,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I just bought a fishing rod yesterday. Starting tomorrow, I¡¯ll accompany you to the community fish pond for fishing.¡±


    ¡°Sounds good,¡± Li Changzhou¡¯s interest was piqued.


    With work keeping him busy all year round, it had been a long time since he had indulged in this hobby.


    Li Yuan watched his uncle¡¯s smile and looked over at his aunt cooking in the kitchen in the distance.


    He couldn¡¯t help but smile as well.


    After so many years of hard training, wasn¡¯t this scene right before him what he had been striving for?


    What needed to be done next was to become even stronger, to protect this happiness.


    Basking in the sun, looking at the lawn, Li Yuan¡¯s mind drifted back to his childhood, when he often used to say, ¡°Uncle, take me out to play, will you?¡±


    In middle school, it turned into ¡°See you tonight, Uncle and Auntie.¡±


    Now, it was finally about to become ¡°Uncle and Auntie, I¡¯ll be back at the end of the year.¡±


    ¡°People often say that once most finish high school, they¡¯ve already spent 90% of the time they¡¯ll ever spend with their parents,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°In June, I¡¯ll spend more time with Uncle and Auntie.¡±


    That night.


    Li Qianqian and Li Muhua came home, excited and thrilled upon hearing about Li Yuan¡¯s college entrance exam scores.


    The whole family was celebrating.


    At 8 o¡¯clock in the evening, under the watchful eyes of his family, Li Yuan used the newly launched ¡®Volunteer Reporting System¡¯ to fill in his choices.


    For his first preference, he filled in Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡­


    Late at night, after his uncle and auntie had gone to bed.


    Villa 225, the basement.


    This was actually a martial arts room that covered nearly a thousand square meters and had a ceiling over six meters high.


    ¡°Hoo!¡±


    As usual, Li Yuan was practicing the Stellar Spear Technique for nearly two hours before he finally stopped to rest.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 10.6 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 1623 kilograms


    Speed: 23.8 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 17.5


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (Current Max 20£¥)


    Physical Body Cultivation Method: ¡°Solid Rock Cultivation Method¡±


    Mental Cultivation Method: ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡±


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 34%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 26%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 36%)


    ¡­¡±From April until now, thanks to the new cultivation plan, my physical quality has not slowed down in its improvement,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°However, the gap in physical quality grows more astonishing the further you advance.¡±


    For example, at level 11, the standard fist strength is 1800 kilograms.


    At level 12, it¡¯s 3000 kilograms.


    At level 13, the standard fist strength reaches a terrifying 5000 kilograms.


    When it comes to Life Level advancements, the speed of elevation is going to slow down more and more, which is unavoidable.


    ¡°I¡¯ll start school in July.¡±


    ¡°At the end of July, there¡¯s a combat assessment,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly. ¡°I hope to reach a 20% Spiritual Awakening Level by then, to see if I can undergo another infusion of Origin Power.¡±


    If he could experience it again,


    it would greatly enhance Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality and spiritual power once more.


    ¡°On the other hand,¡±


    ¡°Advancing in the Fourth Level of skills is indeed harder the further you progress,¡± Li Yuan glanced over his Spear Technique and Fist Technique.


    Nearly two months had passed, and his progress was actually quite significant.


    But if the rate of progress continued like this, the hope of reaching the Bright Moon Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network before the age of 18 was virtually zero.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give it my all.¡±


    Li Yuan was at peace with himself and resumed practicing the Basic Cultivation Method.


    ¡­


    At 9 o¡¯clock in the evening, thousands of miles away from Jiangbei Province, at Kunlun Martial University.


    Light spilled from an academic building, glowing brilliantly in the night.


    In one of the meeting rooms, where there was a constant flow of people,


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation with admissions? Are the results out yet?¡± President Li asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°We are still continuously contacting and doing our best to persuade more students to choose our Kunlun Martial University,¡± the teacher whispered. ¡°For the top 50 in each province, our recruitment teams have already set off to invite them one by one.¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow, we should be able to gather the results.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    President Li nodded and then inquired, ¡°What about the students on the early contract signing list? Give me their scores.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The teacher was already prepared, promptly taking out a list and handing it to President Li.


    President Li looked down and saw that the first name on the list was Li Yuan.


    ¡°Why is Li Yuan first?¡± President Li couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I remember his ranking in the province was just over seventy.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s changed.¡±


    ¡°This year, Principal Fang¡¯s order was to rank everything after admission based on actual scores,¡± the recruitment teacher explained. ¡°This Li Yuan, our admissions office has also taken notice of him.¡±


    ¡°His total score ranks 77th in Jiangbei Province, nothing eye-catching, and is expected to be around 350th among all students after enrollment.¡±


    ¡°That is, if we include the spiritual bonus points and other adjustments.¡±


    ¡°If we don¡¯t count those bonus points,¡±


    ¡°With a full score in Martial Path, Li Yuan is the number one in bare martial scores in Jiangbei Province,¡± said the admissions teacher. ¡°Moreover, he ranks tenth nationwide.¡±


    ¡°Number one in Jiangbei? Top ten in the whole country?¡± President Li didn¡¯t know whether to be happy or annoyed.


    He was certain,


    that Li Yuan¡¯s profile was now laid out on the desks of all institute heads in Kunlun Martial University¡¯s eight institutes.


    His plan to secretly recruit Li Yuan into the Sixth Institute just got harder.


    ¡°Principal Fang, really has nothing better to do,¡± President Li grumbled to himself.

 Chapter 106 - 102 New Journey (Request Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 106: Chapter 102 New Journey (Request Monthly Pass)


    ¡°`


    Students ranked within the top 50 or even top 100 in the entire province


    would be fiercely competed over by the recruitment teams of the five prestigious schools.


    After all, if a Martial Arts University wanted to remain prosperous, the first requirement was to continuously receive funding, and the second was to keep producing a large number of Prime Warriors and even Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Powerful martial artists often give back to their alma mater, whether by directly donating money or providing care within their scope of authority.


    Alumni form a circle¡­ but no university came to find Li Yuan.


    ...


    Li Yuan¡¯s reputation as a martial arts prodigy had long spread throughout Jiangbei, and as the actual top scorer in Jiangbei Province¡¯s Martial Path total score, all the major school recruitment teams knew about him.


    However, the fact that he had been signed by Kunlun Martial University with an S-level contract was also well-known.


    An S-level contract?


    Moreover, to persuade Li Yuan to break his contract and offer a better one, the overall cost was too great, so the other prestigious schools had all chosen to give up.


    ¡­ June 17th, in the afternoon, at the residential community¡¯s fishing spot.


    ¡°Uncle, why have I been so unlucky today?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask while sitting on the stool.


    ¡°Your beginner¡¯s protection period is over,¡± Li Changzhou said with a grin: ¡°Didn¡¯t you see how many you caught the past two days? You caught twice as many as me.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you didn¡¯t catch any today, or else your aunt would keep saying we have too much to eat.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s obviously because of my superior skills¡­¡± Li Yuan was about to retort when he suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate. Looking down, his eyes lit up.


    ¡°Uncle, my admission notice is here,¡± Li Yuan said, raising his hand.


    ¡°Oh? Let me see,¡± Li Changzhou stood up immediately.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Uncle, quick, the float!¡± Li Yuan hurriedly pointed into the distance where the float had completely sunk into the water.


    ¡°It¡¯s a big one! Double happiness,¡± Li Changzhou hastily bent down to grab the fishing rod.


    ¡­ After putting the fish in the box, Li Changzhou sat down and looked at the admission notice document that Li Yuan had sent over, his mouth couldn¡¯t stop curling upwards.


    ¡°Uncle, which institute do you think I should choose?¡± Li Yuan asked offhandedly: ¡°The Sixth Institute or the Eighth Institute?¡±


    The Sixth Institute was where President Li resided.


    The Eighth Institute was where President Zhao resided, who was the one who had originally recommended him to Kunlun Martial University. This President Zhao was also Wan Qinghe¡¯s elder martial brother.


    Therefore, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, after entering Kunlun Martial University, it would definitely be a choice between the two.


    ¡°I recommend the Sixth Institute,¡± Li Changzhou said: ¡°There are circles among martial artists too, which university you come from is a large circle, which institute you attend is a small circle, and after graduation, which Martial Hall you join or whether you enter the military or large corporate groups form new circles.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    A hero supported by three gangs, a martial artist with a broad network can also smooth the path of Martial Path.


    Li Yuan had no intention of being a loner.


    ¡°Different circles may intersect with each other,¡± Li Changzhou said: ¡°President Zhao of the Eighth Institute seems closer to you in terms of relationships, since he was the first to recommend you.¡±


    ¡°But has he sought you out these past few months?¡± Li Changzhou asked with a half-smile: ¡°Given you any guidance?¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°He definitely knows about your situation and was the first to make the connection, yet he hasn¡¯t sought you out, which indicates that he doesn¡¯t really care about you,¡± Li Changzhou said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. The other party was a level-29 Prime Warrior, with astounding strength.


    Not seeking him out didn¡¯t necessarily mean he looked down on him.


    It could be his personality, or perhaps he wasn¡¯t too concerned about mentoring juniors.


    ¡°On the contrary, President Li has always cared about you,¡± Li Changzhou said: ¡°Before the college entrance exam, he even made a special call to you.¡±


    ¡°Originally, it was also he who offered you the S-level contract.¡±


    ¡°In a sense, if you enter Kunlun Martial University, he will be akin to your seat-teacher,¡± Li Changzhou said: ¡°That¡¯s a very rare relationship.¡±


    Li Yuan understood his uncle¡¯s meaning.


    It¡¯s better to stick with the familiar than to enter a circle that¡¯s unfamiliar and likely doesn¡¯t value you.


    ¡°President Li is quite a good person,¡± Li Yuan nodded: ¡°Uncle, should I give President Li a V-call first?¡±


    ¡°Yes, you should!¡±


    ¡°However, it seems you can apply and fill out your ¡®target institute¡¯ directly on your enrollment notice,¡± Li Changzhou said: ¡°First fill in the Sixth Institute, then give him a V-call, he will be even happier.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡­


    After Li Yuan finished filling out the ¡®admission notice response¡¯, he filled in his personal information and his wish to join the Sixth Institute.


    He then directly made a V-call to President Li.


    Just as Li Changzhou had expected.


    ¡°President Li,¡± Li Yuan said directly: ¡°I¡¯ve received the admission notice and filled out the receipt¡­ I¡¯ve filled in the Sixth Institute.¡±


    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s appropriate?¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Not considering the Eighth Institute?¡± President Li said with a smile on the screen, aware of Li Yuan¡¯s relationship with President Zhao.


    ¡°The Eighth Institute is very good, but these past few months, you and Teacher Fan Jin have given me a lot of guidance. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have made such progress,¡± Li Yuan spoke sincerely: ¡°I believe that cultivating under your guidance is the best choice for me.¡±


    ¡°Haha, good!¡± President Li¡¯s voice contained a laugh: ¡°Rest assured, your choice won¡¯t be wrong. I will arrange everything so that you can become a Prime Warrior in the quickest time possible over the next two years.¡±


    Li Yuan could tell that President Li was very satisfied with his decision.


    ¡°For this half-month break, you can relax a bit,¡± President Li said: ¡°But don¡¯t completely fall behind on your cultivation, I¡¯ll expedite your institute admittance checks.¡±


    ¡°Soon, you will be able to enter ¡®Kunlun Space¡¯, and the resources from the S-level special training contract will be provided to you,¡± President Li instructed.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t disappoint you, President,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°At the end-of-July Combat Assessment, I will definitely bring honor to our Sixth Institute.¡±


    ¡°Well then, I¡¯ll be looking forward to it,¡± President Li listened as Li Yuan said ¡®our Sixth Institute¡¯ and found it quite heartening.


    ¡­


    That evening.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already chosen the Sixth Institute?¡± Wan Qinghe and Li Yuan were communicating through a V-call: ¡°Not considering the Eighth Institute?¡±


    ¡°Uncle, I am very grateful to President Zhao,¡± Li Yuan seemed somewhat embarrassed: ¡°But President Li has been guiding my cultivation all along. He asked about my intentions, and it was hard to say no, so I applied for the Sixth Institute.¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 107 - 102 New Journey (Request Monthly Pass)_2

    Chapter 107: Chapter 102 New Journey (Request Monthly Pass)_2


    ¡°I have always remembered President Zhao¡¯s kindness; although we belong to different institutes, I am still a part of Kunlun Martial University. When I get to the school, I will definitely pay him a visit,¡±


    ¡°Haha, alright,¡± Wan Qinghe chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will explain everything to President Zhao; he won¡¯t blame you.¡±


    Wan Qinghe knew how to dispel any dissatisfaction that his ¡®Ninth Senior Brother¡¯ might have towards Li Yuan.


    ¡­ ¡°Ninth Senior Brother.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan said he volunteered to join the Sixth Institute, but I feel his words were hesitant, as if there might be something else going on,¡± Wan Qinghe sighed: ¡°Before, Li Yuan often mentioned he was grateful to you, and he said many times that he would pay a visit to you once he was enrolled at Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°You also know that.¡±


    ...


    ¡°No matter how talented he is, he¡¯s still just a teenager, how can he withstand so much pressure?¡± Wan Qinghe sighed: ¡°If anyone is to blame, it¡¯s me. I should have clarified things with him sooner; he doesn¡¯t know your attitude.¡±


    ¡°This matter, it¡¯s my fault,¡± Wan Qinghe said with a look of regret.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not related to you and even less Li Yuan¡¯s fault,¡± the figure of President Zhao appeared on the light screen, imposing and slightly angry: ¡°It must be Li Yang who¡¯s behind this.¡±


    President Li¡¯s real name was Li Yang.


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡± Wan Qinghe asked at the right moment.


    ¡°Let him focus on his cultivation, tell him that it¡¯s all the same whether he is in the Sixth Institute or Eighth Institute,¡± President Zhao said: ¡°When he arrives at Kunlun Martial University, if he has time, he can also attend my lectures.¡±


    ¡°Brother, your magnanimity exceeds that of President Li by far, as you don¡¯t fixate on institute affiliations,¡± Wan Qinghe praised.


    ¡­


    In Martial Arts Universities, each province had only one.


    The top elite schools in the country numbered only five, thus the national and provincial cutoffs were very clear.


    For the Martial Path, the top 10,600 were the provincial cutoff.


    The top 520 were the national cutoff.


    It had always been this way.


    Cultural universities, on the other hand, had much more complex admissions processes.


    Therefore, until June 20th, the admissions for all universities in Xia Country were only concluded.


    On June 22nd, Class 3 (2) held a graduation dinner, but less than sixty students were able to attend.


    ¡°The day we checked the results, I cried, and my mom hugged me and we cried together; high school was finally over,¡±


    ¡°I cried too, but it was from getting a beating from my parents,¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan is amazing.¡±


    ¡°Kunlun Martial Arts University, and he was even selected for the special training program! Way too awesome.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, I toast to you.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan.¡± Li Yuan was almost the center of attention among his classmates.


    This group of students who had just graduated from high school was awkwardly learning the etiquette of adult social interaction.


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you,¡± Li Tianyou poured a glass of beer.


    His eyes slightly red, he said earnestly to Li Yuan, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, I might not have been able to make it in the end.¡±


    Li Tianyou had narrowly made it into Jiangbei Martial Arts University, ranking just over 9900 in the province¡¯s Martial Path.


    ¡°It has nothing to do with me,¡±


    ¡°This is all the result of your own efforts,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, trying to ease the other¡¯s emotions.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will find a way to pay you back the money I owe as soon as possible,¡± Li Tianyou said in a low voice.


    ¡°Alright, I trust your character,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°But there is no hurry, once you are in university, cultivation should still take priority.¡±


    Li Yuan never said ¡®the money is a gift to you.¡¯


    Li Yuan understood that insisting on repaying the money was an act of dignity that Li Tianyou was making every effort to maintain.


    Why trample on it?


    ¡°Brother Yuan, let me drink another with you,¡± Zhou Qi came over with his glass.


    This time in the college entrance examination, his performance was not bad; he got into a C9 university.


    Time passed, and many students gradually became tipsy.


    Li Yuan was very sober, looking at many classmates who, just half a month ago seemed so familiar, now already appeared somewhat strangers.


    He understood that aside from a few good friends like Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou, he might never see many of these classmates again.


    His adolescent years were completely over.


    Without a sound, Li Yuan settled the bill and left.


    ¡­


    June, not too hot yet.


    After the class reunion.


    During the subsequent vacation days, Li Yuan often spent his days accompanying his uncle fishing, helping his aunt plant flowers, and going shopping for clothes with them at the mall.


    On weekends, the family of five would even go for outings to Beihu Moshan together.


    Since junior high, Li Yuan had never felt as relaxed as he did this June.


    In the evenings, he would focus solely on the Martial Path training.


    ¡°After the college entrance exams ended, I¡¯ve been practicing the spear, and spent less time on the Martial Path,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    ¡°But why has my Spear Technique improved even faster?¡± Li Yuan wondered about this.


    This phenomenon made him reflect.


    ¡°Efficiency.¡± Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°For success in any endeavor, the energy and time invested are very important,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°just as the ten-thousand-hour rule makes sense in any ordinary profession.¡±


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°once a certain level of proficiency is reached in something, blindly accumulating time may not be the best approach.¡±


    ¡°These days, with a more relaxed state of mind, the free time during the day allowed me to think more, to see more of the world.¡±


    ¡°These changes, the relaxation of the spirit,¡±


    ¡°actually made my practice of the Spear Technique more efficient, with fewer distractions, and even my spirit seemed purer, more peaceful,¡± Li Yuan came to understand.


    Practice, like life itself, sometimes the more you crave, the less you receive.


    A moment of inspiration can be worth years of practice, but such inspiration cannot be gained solely through ¡®internal strife¡¯.


    ¡°The cultivation of the spirit!¡±


    ¡°In the past, I¡¯ve been blindly chasing time, longing for greater efficiency,¡± Li Yuan suddenly smiled, ¡°Just like uncle said, being too tense for too long, one must loosen up from time to time.¡±


    And so,


    Li Yuan began to ¡®enjoy¡¯ spending time with his aunt and uncle even more.


    June 29th, past ten in the evening.


    ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± Li Yuan was practicing with the long spear, swinging it to create dazzling arcs of light and aftershadows.


    Gradually,


    Li Yuan practiced with increasing ease, fully immersing himself in the spear technique, truly enjoying it.


    ¡°Bang~ Bang~¡± The heavy punching bag was continuously hammered with strikes.


    ¡°So comfortable,¡± the images in Li Yuan¡¯s mind whirred rapidly, scenes flashing by, making the heavy punching bag in front of him seem like a formidable opponent.


    His spear technique became faster,


    and steadier; each explosive hit became almost instinctive.


    All of a sudden, at one moment,


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind and heart aligned, and with a fierce thrust of his long spear, his speed surged dramatically, the tip of the spear moving almost inconceivably fast.


    It tore through the air with a roar.


    ¡°Bang~¡± The incredibly tough punching bag was unexpectedly burst open by the blunt-tip long spear.


    Innumerable special sands inside scattered wildly, raining down chaos.


    [Your Spear Technique Realm has progressed from Fourth Level 36% to Fourth Level 42%]


    [Your Fist Technique Realm has progressed from Fourth Level 39% to Fourth Level 44%] Two notifications from the Divine Palace scrolled by.


    Li Yuan stood still, letting the sand fall and bury up to his ankles.


    ¡°The third form of the Stellar Spear Technique, ¡®Dawn Piercing the Clouds¡¯, I can finally execute it fully,¡± Li Yuan silently recited in his mind.


    Before long,


    Li Yuan phoned the staff responsible at the Martial Hall.


    People came to replace the punching bag and clean up everything.


    ¡­


    The leisurely vacation had to come to an end at last.


    July 2nd was the last day to report to Kunlun Martial University, and it was also the day Li Yuan would leave home.


    ¡°Xiaoyuan, when you get to the university, cultivate well and don¡¯t worry about home,¡± Li Changzhou advised, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of things here.¡±


    ¡°Call home when you get to school,¡± the aunt¡¯s primary concern was always Li Yuan¡¯s safety, even though Li Yuan was already an Entry Rank Martial Artist.


    ¡°Mmm, okay, I know.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, Auntie, it¡¯s windy, go back inside,¡± Li Yuan, with his backpack on, waved with a smile.


    A small flying vehicle hung motionless in the air.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan leaped more than two meters high, catapulting straight into the cabin as the door closed.


    The flying vehicle quickly ascended, heading towards Tianhe Airport to catch a connecting flight.


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui stood outside their villa, continuously waving goodbye, watching the flying vehicle disappear into the misty rain.


    Li Yuan!


    Officially embarked on his university journey.

 Chapter 108 - 103 Kunlun Martial University, New Senior Brother (Extra for 18000 Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 108: Chapter 103 Kunlun Martial University, New Senior Brother (Extra for 18000 Monthly Votes)


    Sitting in the short-range flyer prepared by Martial Hall, he hurried to the airport.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan noticed a vibration on his smart ring and looked down, his eyes moving slightly.


    It was a message from Lin Lanyue.


    Since the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University, they had not seen each other again.


    Before and after the college entrance examination, Li Yuan had intended to meet Lin Lanyue to thank her in person.


    ...


    However, she had not returned to Guan Mountain District¡¯s No.1 High School.


    Li Yuan had asked Gu Qiang about it.


    He confirmed only one thing: Lin Lanyue indeed returned to take the college entrance exam, but her exam site was at Guan Mountain District No.2 High School.


    And she had not returned to her home in ¡®Starry Sky South Lake Community¡¯.


    Where does she live now? Gu Qiang also didn¡¯t know.


    V-chat? Li Yuan had tried several times to send messages to Lin Lanyue, but they all sank like stones in the sea.


    It was as if she was deliberately avoiding him.


    Li Yuan hadn¡¯t expected that, just as he was about to set off for Kunlun Martial University,


    Lin Lanyue sent a message.


    The content of the message wasn¡¯t long.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve seen your messages. Last time, I just happened to hear from Teacher Xu Bo and then my elder brother was passing through Jiang City, coincidentally having the Yan Tong Spiritual Spring. You don¡¯t have to take it too much to heart. Also, congratulations on getting into Kunlun Martial University, the best martial arts university in Xia Country. I believe you can become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future. Keep it up!¡±


    Li Yuan stared at the content on the screen, lost in thought for a while.


    Coincidence?


    Was it really a coincidence, or was it an excuse Lin Lanyue found so he wouldn¡¯t feel too burdened?


    After pondering for a while.


    Li Yuan replied to the message, ¡°Regardless, thank you. If there¡¯s anything I can help with in the future, make sure you find me. I also wish you smooth sailing at Starry Sky University.¡±


    Perhaps it was because they hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time.


    Or perhaps after the incident with Li Changzhou, Li Yuan realized the huge gap between them.


    The words he spoke were becoming somewhat formulaic.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s score on the college entrance exam for martial arts was first in Guan Mountain District, second in Jiang City, and third in Jiangbei Province.


    The martial arts top scorers of Jiangbei Province were Wu Dongdong first, Wang Yu second, and Lin Lanyue third.


    Lin Lanyue, was smoothly admitted to Starry Sky University.


    She was also the only student from Guan Mountain District who was admitted to one of the top three global prestigious schools.


    Some time passed again.


    ¡°Alright, we may meet again if it¡¯s meant to be.¡± Lin Lanyue sent another message.


    Li Yuan stared at the screen, silent for a long time, and with a light sigh, he did not send another message in the end.


    He turned off his smart ring.


    Closed his eyes to rest.


    Not long after.


    ¡°Li Yuan, we¡¯ve arrived at the airport,¡± a deep voice rang out. ¡°Enter the terminal building, and you can check in and board the plane.¡±


    Clang¡ªthe cabin door opened.


    ¡°Instructor Xing, thank you.¡± Li Yuan opened his eyes, and the man sitting in front of him was indeed Instructor Xing.


    ¡°Do we still talk like this among us? Just go train well at Kunlun Martial University. I look forward to Guan Mountain District producing a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Instructor Xing laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about home; I¡¯ll arrange for Martial Hall people to keep an eye on it.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s any major issue, I¡¯ll also report it to the Hall Master.¡±


    ¡°Alright, trouble you,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    During the months he lived in the Starfire South Lake Community, Li Yuan also got to know many Martial Hall warriors.


    People like Instructor Xing, Fang Longhu, who lived in the Third District and had a great relationship with Li Yuan, could be entrusted.


    Secondly, Li Changzhou¡¯s character and ability were something Li Yuan greatly admired.


    In addition, as Li Yuan had left behind two million Blue Star Coins, he wasn¡¯t too worried about his family.


    Half an hour later.


    A large flyer took off from Tianhe Airport and flew towards Longxi Province.


    ¡­


    In the central villa of Starry Sky South Lake Community.


    In the living room on the first floor.


    ¡°Little sister, it¡¯s just two kilometers away, why not see him?¡± the young man in blue laughed.


    ¡°It¡¯s not necessary,¡± said the girl sitting on the sofa, shaking her head gently. ¡°I understand him; he¡¯s a person with great pride in his heart.¡±


    ¡°At this moment, he must feel like he owes me a big favor that he can¡¯t repay¡­ if we met, what else would we talk about?¡±


    ¡°Awkward small talk?¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Or watch him clumsily say ¡®thank you¡¯ to me?¡± Lin Lanyue looked at the young man in blue.


    The young man in blue was speechless.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait.¡±


    ¡°I believe there will come a day when we meet again,¡± Lin Lanyue stood up, her delicate face filled with calm, ¡°By then, I believe he can face me with composure.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid it¡¯s a wait in vain?¡± the young man in blue looked at his little sister. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid he might fall for someone else?¡±


    He felt that in the past six months, his little sister had undergone many changes.


    Gradually shedding her immaturity, she had become steadier, more resolute, and firm.


    She was truly starting to grow up.


    Beyond these changes, there was also a hint of a love that had not yet fully blossomed.


    The girl was silent for a long time before finally saying softly, ¡°I trust my judgment.¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m wrong, then I¡¯ll accept the consequences of the mistake,¡± Lin Lanyue smiled. ¡°Second brother, let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°From Jiangbei Province to Lantis Continent, it¡¯s over thirty thousand kilometers.¡±


    ¡°Today is the last day for registration, don¡¯t be late.¡±


    ¡­


    Catching a large flyer to Longxi Province, then a smaller flyer for a connecting flight,


    At three in the afternoon, Li Yuan finally arrived at Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°Kunlun Martial University.¡± Li Yuan sat in a window seat of the flyer, able to see far into the distance,


    He already caught sight of it.


    On the endless expanse of land below, there were numerous villas, buildings, airports¡­ The most eye-catching was a sci-fi-like, immense war fortress.


    This was Kunlun Martial University. The overall layout and structure were actually similar to Jiangbei Martial University, though even smaller in scale.


    After all, Jiangbei Martial University had forty to fifty thousand students, while Kunlun Martial University only had about ten thousand students year-round.


    But!


    That war fortress was towering, far surpassing the one at Jiangbei Martial University.


    ¡°Kunlun Fortress.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, conjuring up the name of the fortress.


    This fortress was one of the top ten ranked war fortresses on the vast land in the northwest of Xia Country.


    Its height nearly reached nine hundred meters, covering an area of nearly twenty square kilometers¡ªan absolute behemoth.


    The other nine? Mostly located around the Robe Lake Star Realm.


    The flyer approached rapidly.


    ¡°Just as I thought!¡±


    ¡°Apart from the teaching buildings, they are all villas.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, ¡°According to the enrollment introduction, every student gets a detached villa, equipped with a flying vehicle and a housekeeper¡­ It allows every student to devote themselves entirely to cultivation.¡±


    In Jiangbei Martial University, only the top 5% of students can enjoy such treatment.


    But in Kunlun Martial University, everyone does, or even more so.


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze rose, and in the distance, he could see a huge mountain range that undulated like a dragon stretching across the land.


    It was Xia Country¡¯s first mountain range¡ªMount Kunlun.


    ¡°The ancestor of all mountains, Kunlun,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°The name of Kunlun University does have a deeper meaning.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Several students on the flying vehicle got off one after another, following Li Yuan.


    Today was the last day for registration.


    Since it was already afternoon, almost all students had completed their registration.


    Therefore, under the terminal building in the distance, the banner that read ¡®Welcome new students¡¯ had fallen down halfway, and no one had bothered to fix it.


    ¡°Li Yuan, over here, hurry up!¡± a handsome young man called out loudly from a distance.


    Next to him stood another youth with a robust physique, and behind them gathered more people.


    Seeing the two, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile and quickly walked over, ¡°Gu Qiang, Hai Feng, long time no see.¡±


    Stepping forward, he greeted them with the habitual form of salutation among boys¡ªa punch to the chest.


    Indeed!


    Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng, they had both successfully been admitted to Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    Along with Li Yuan, the three of them were the only students from the number one high school in Guan Mountain District to be admitted into any of the five famous schools.


    Having been admitted to the same university from the same high school, their relationships were naturally closer, and they had been in touch early on.


    Before departure,


    Li Yuan had sent messages to Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng, informing them about his approximate time of arrival.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Behind the two, stood thirty or forty people who all greeted Li Yuan one after another.


    ¡°Are you all from Jiang City?¡± Li Yuan hesitated a bit, noticing many familiar faces.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, we all participated in the invitation event of Jiangbei Martial University together. You might not remember us very well, but we all remember you,¡± a tall, skinny boy said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m An Nong.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, my name is Tong Zhi.¡±


    ¡°My name is¡­¡± dozens of people quickly introduced themselves.


    ¡°Oh, I actually do remember a bit,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Seeing a big group of fellow townspeople and old friends,


    the strangeness of being far from home was immediately dispersed by quite a lot.


    ¡°What are you all doing here?¡± Li Yuan hesitated. It was one thing for Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng to come to pick him up.


    The others? They seemed familiar, but surely they were not that close yet.


    ¡°What else? We are waiting for you, the great ¡®senior brother¡¯ of the new students from the Sixth Institute,¡± Gu Qianghan glared, ¡°Being the senior brother of new students of the Sixth Institute, and you¡¯re the last to come? You have no sense of responsibility.¡±


    ¡°Senior brother of new students?¡± Li Yuan was confused.


    He had just arrived.


    How had he suddenly become the senior brother of new students?


    ¡°Stop talking, we have to finalize the ranking by eight o¡¯clock; our institute is currently sixth,¡± Gu Qianghan called him over, ¡°Get on the flying vehicle. I¡¯ll explain everything on the way.¡±


    ¡°Have you completed all the entrance procedures in the Kunlun Space already?¡±


    ¡°Yes, room 61032,¡± Li Yuan said.


    The sequence number meant villa number 1032 of the Sixth Institute.


    ¡°Next to mine, I¡¯m in 61031,¡± Gu Qianghan smiled, ¡°Once things are settled, you need to boost our Sixth Institute¡¯s ranking.¡±


    ¡°To the Xuanwu Building.¡±


    ¡°Ranking?¡± Li Yuan became even more bewildered, unable to grasp everything as he had just landed.


    But still, he followed Gu Qianghan onto the flying vehicle.


    The flying vehicle seated four and was essentially a ¡®flying car,¡¯ suitable for short trips.


    Each student was assigned one, capable of autonomous driving, commuting smartly to any place within the campus.


    When needed, it could be summoned directly.


    When not in use, it would automatically return to the villa, where it would charge, park, and wash itself.


    ¡°The students of Jiangbei Martial University seem to use running as their means of transportation,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    He remembered the scenes from the invitation event.


    ¡°Different levels of universities have different training programs,¡± Gu Qianghan said. ¡°Even the weakest students at Kunlun Martial University can be compared to their strongest ones.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled and said nothing.


    Perhaps it was so at the start of their studies,


    but by the second or third year, it might not be the case anymore.


    ¡­


    Traveling at ultra-low altitude along the road, Li Yuan saw many flying vehicles coming and going.


    All were filled with students from Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°Level 13 Martial Artist!¡±


    ¡°Level 16 Martial Artist!¡±


    ¡°Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan glanced around casually, utilizing Divine Palace Inquiry, and found that most of the people had a body level below 15.


    Those above level 18 were very rare.


    Prime Warriors? Very rare to see, Li Yuan only noticed a few along the way.


    Aside from the freshmen,


    Martial Artists were everywhere, those above level 15 were common, and even Prime Warrior students existed¡ªthis was Kunlun Martial University,


    The top two martial arts higher education institutes in Xia Country.


    On their way, Gu Qianghan also quickly briefed Li Yuan, giving him an idea of the situation.


    ¡°Inter-institute competition, pre-admission Points ranking? The total Points of the top two hundred students in each institute?¡±


    ¡°The deadline tonight at eight o¡¯clock?¡±


    ¡°The first-ranked institute receives 20,000 Blue Star Coins per student, and the student ranked first in individual Points gets 500,000 Blue Star Coins?¡± Li Yuan listened to Gu Qianghan¡¯s explanation.


    ¡°Are all of you from the Sixth Institute?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why such concentration?¡±


    The number of students from Jiang City admitted to Kunlun Martial University was supposedly less than a hundred.


    And Kunlun Martial University had eight institutes.


    ¡°Because of you!¡±


    ¡°You chose the Sixth Institute, and right after you told me half a month ago, I immediately contacted all these fellow townspeople. Before and after enrollment, we all strongly requested to join the Sixth Institute, to support you,¡± Gu Qianghan said eagerly, ¡°After all, someone has to offer support, it might as well be us.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, students from other provinces don¡¯t know, but we do,¡± he continued.


    ¡°Your ranking in the college entrance examination was low because of Spiritual Nature points. Based on raw scores, you are the number one in Jiangbei Province.¡±


    ¡°But in university, what counts is true strength! ¡±


    ¡°Wu Dongdong, my sister, Tian Dazhuang, and all the other top talents who could compete with you, have gone to Starry Sky University, Starfire University.¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, if you say you are second in this batch of freshmen at Kunlun Martial University, I won¡¯t believe anyone dares claim to be the first!¡± Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve said before; my sister can¡¯t be counted on.¡±


    ¡°For the five years in university, I¡¯ll be depending on you to cover for me.¡±

 Chapter 109 - 104: The Xuanwu that Surpasses Flying Heaven (20,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)

    Chapter 109: Chapter 104: The Xuanwu that Surpasses Flying Heaven (20,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)


    ¡°Cover you for five years?¡± Li Yuan listened to Gu Qianghan¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t help but want to say something.


    But when he thought about the other person¡¯s family background and personality, he closed his mouth.


    Just like Gu Qianghan had said, he really could live off his parents.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had long discovered that Gu Qianghan, despite appearing nonchalant, actually had a very high IQ. Combined with his family background, such a person often believes they¡¯ve ¡®seen through everything.¡¯


    If he doesn¡¯t wake up completely on his own, it would be useless no matter what others say.


    Besides.


    ...


    ¡°Being friends with Gu Qiang, being roommates, both are quite good,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    ¡°Brothers and sisters.¡± Gu Qianghan laughed loudly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to call Li Yuan ¡®Big Brother¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Big Brother!¡±


    ¡°Big Brother.¡± A dozen flying machines above, with dozens of freshmen from Jiang City, shouted out.


    Their voices echoed across the campus.


    It startled Li Yuan and also drew the attention of many passing students.


    Big Brother? Such a title was a rarity throughout the entire school.


    ¡°Is this ¡®Big Brother¡¯ title something you guys came up with?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Wrong!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Gu Qianghan said with a grin, ¡°This isn¡¯t self-proclaimed, it¡¯s publicly recognized. We all recognize you as the ¡®Big Brother¡¯ of the freshmen in the Sixth Institute. Ask around, who would disagree?¡±


    ¡°Agreed!¡± Dong Haifeng said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you should be our Sixth Institute¡¯s ¡®Big Brother¡¯ of the new students,¡± An Nong and the other freshmen shouted.


    The students who could get into Kunlun Martial University were all exceptional, often the prominent figures in their own high schools.


    Admitting another freshman as ¡®Big Brother¡¯? No one was truly convinced.


    So what if he¡¯s a bit stronger?


    Being stronger now doesn¡¯t mean he¡¯ll stay that way forever.


    But Li Yuan was different!!


    This group of students from Jiang City had all witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s capabilities firsthand during the Jiangbei Martial University¡¯s recruitment event.


    Moreover, at that time, Li Yuan¡¯s Physical Quality was only around Level 9, and now that he¡¯d reached Entry Rank, he was bound to be even more formidable.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan had broadcast a show that these students had watched and roughly understood the terrifying speed of Li Yuan¡¯s rise.


    Various factors and the huge gap had earned their immense respect for Li Yuan.


    Joining the Sixth Institute didn¡¯t mean they really expected to ride on Li Yuan¡¯s coattails, but they did generally want the warmth of the group.


    ¡°Big Brother?¡± Li Yuan shook his head and didn¡¯t argue further.


    In fact, speaking of strength, Li Yuan was among the top of his age globally, but due to Martial Spirit reasons, he had come to Kunlun Martial University¡­ Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but feel stifled inside.


    Deep down, he too wanted to prove himself!


    Li Yuan had ambition.


    Unable to get into Starfire University, Starry Sky University? Then he would work hard at Kunlun Martial University, striving to surpass the martial arts geniuses of the three top martial schools.


    He would strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, or even stronger.


    He wanted to prove through action that one doesn¡¯t need to attend Starfire University or Starry Sky University to become the strongest.


    ¡°First among the new students at Kunlun Martial University?¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    From the beginning to the end, Li Yuan¡¯s goal was never just that.


    His sight was set further in the future.


    ¡°Haifeng, how are the total points rankings for the competition between the eight institutes determined?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s based on the points from the Kunlun Nine Mountains,¡± said Dong Haifeng. ¡°Each institute has about 250 new students, each of whom can attempt the Kunlun Nine Mountains.¡±


    ¡°They will take the best scores of the top 200, and the combined points of these 200 people will be the total score for an institute¡¯s entry competition.¡±


    ¡°Rankings are divided into individual rankings and total institute score rankings,¡± Dong Haifeng explained quickly. ¡°Right now, our Sixth Institute is ranked fourth, with over 5700 points in total.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying that on average, each person doesn¡¯t even have 30 points?¡± Li Yuan felt a twinge of toothache.


    The score was too low.


    Before coming to school, Li Yuan had seen all kinds of study arrangements, competitive settings, and reward systems of Kunlun Martial University on the ¡®Kunlun Space¡¯ of the virtual network.


    He had some understanding of the Kunlun Nine Mountains, a kind of ¡®virtual contest¡¯ set up by the university specifically to test Martial Arts Skills, divided into nine levels.


    The Kunlun Nine Mountains, it was somewhat similar to the advancement matches of the Starry Skies Fighting Network, but not exactly the same.


    ¡°Right, the score is quite low.¡±


    Dong Haifeng touched his head, somewhat embarrassed: ¡°Because most of the new students¡¯ Martial Arts Skills are actually less than Third Stage.¡±


    Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Third Stage skills score 360 in the martial arts portion of the college entrance exam, which is actually very hard to achieve.


    Fourth Level skills? That¡¯s one of the three major thresholds for a Prime Warrior.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, although a large number of Prime Warriors would emerge from Kunlun Martial University in the future,


    most people would not become Prime Warriors before graduating.


    Those who did become Prime Warriors mostly continued their cultivation after graduation, struggled through life and death in the Star Realm, and ultimately broke through their bottlenecks.


    Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be so few Prime Warriors within human civilization.


    Take Li Yuan for example.


    Achieving Fourth Level skills during his high school phase? Globally, that placed him at the very pinnacle among his peers.


    Otherwise, would Li Yuan have received such attention from Starfire Martial Hall?


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Oh no, Big Brother.¡± Gu Qianghan immediately changed his address, visibly excited: ¡°Our Sixth Institute, we¡¯re actually only a hundred or two hundred points behind the second and third places.¡±


    ¡°Only the Third Institute is more than six or seven hundred points ahead of us,¡± Gu Qianghan said seriously. ¡°You just need to be worth thirty people, get 800 points, and we¡¯re sure to win.¡±


    ¡°Eight hundred points?¡±


    ¡°Gu Qiang, you didn¡¯t say that before, didn¡¯t you say we¡¯d aim for second place?¡±


    ¡°Eight hundred points, huh?¡± Others were amazed, they were full of confidence in Li Yuan, thinking that getting four or five hundred points wouldn¡¯t be difficult.


    But eight hundred points?


    That was a bit of an exaggeration! Because they had all challenged the Kunlun Nine Mountains and knew the difficulties of the nine levels.


    ¡°Eight hundred points, huh?¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it a try, but let¡¯s make it clear first, even if I don¡¯t succeed, don¡¯t blame me.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Haha, good.¡±


    ¡°Even Wu Luo could score over three hundred points. Big brother will definitely be stronger. Back then, Wu Luo was totally defeated by big brother¡¯s hand.¡±


    ¡°Wu Luo¡¯s Martial Arts Skills have stepped into the Fourth Level. Otherwise, many at the Third Stage would be stuck at the Third Mountain.¡±


    ¡°And there¡¯s Yang Hong, who nearly scored four hundred points.¡±


    ¡°With big brother¡¯s strength, surpassing those two shouldn¡¯t be difficult,¡± everyone said one after another, discussing.


    They were all filled with expectations for Li Yuan.


    Soon, they passed through a vast villa area.


    More than a dozen flying vehicles had already arrived in front of an extremely large building.


    In front of the building.


    Lay a colossal creature resembling a sea turtle, tens of meters tall and over two hundred meters in length, its statue looming.


    The statue was made of stone.


    Only its shell on the back appeared so real that it even gave off an inexplicable aura of horror, as if a powerful Xuanwu was genuinely lying there, closing its eyes to rest.


    ¡°Is this the Xuanwu statue?¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart. He had seen it in school introductions.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Legend has it, a long time ago, there was a Star Realm creature Xuanwu that exceeded the Sky-Flying Level on Feixing,¡± Gu Qianghan said excitedly. ¡°It was Dongfang Ji, the first strongest human, who hunted it down alone. A world-shattering battle erupted between them on Feixing, devastating heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°In the end, Dongfang Ji killed it.¡±


    ¡°Its remains were turned into a gift by Dongfang Ji and given to his alma mater, ¡®Kunlun Martial Arts University.¡¯


    ¡°That shell in front of us.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the remains of a lifeform that surpassed the Sky-Flying Level.¡±


    ¡°After thorough research by Kunlun Martial University, the shell was made into this statue to serve as a warning, prompting all students to maintain a sense of awe,¡± Gu Qianghan said confidently. ¡°This building was therefore renamed Xuanwu Tower in memory.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re quite mediocre in ability but quite knowledgeable,¡± Li Yuan joked.


    ¡°Damn! Here we go again,¡± Gu Qianghan complained. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m too weak, it¡¯s that you¡¯re too abnormal.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s get off.¡±


    The flying vehicles slowly landed in the square, and dozens of people jumped out.


    ¡°Eight institutes, each with its own specialized area.¡±


    ¡°And there are comprehensive buildings.¡±


    ¡°Xuanwu Tower is a comprehensive building, divided into east and west wings,¡± Gu Qianghan explained. ¡°The east wing is the main area for first-year freshmen. Important activities for freshmen from all eight institutes are held here.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, knowing some things while still unaware of others.


    Clearly, Gu Qianghan had arrived several days earlier and was quite familiar with many things.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go into the east wing,¡± Gu Qianghan said.


    A crowd surrounded Li Yuan as they entered the east wing of Xuanwu Tower.


    The building was only twelve stories high, but it covered an enormous area.


    Upon entering, there was a vast open-air plaza, easily capable of accommodating two to three thousand people. At the moment, there were six to seven hundred people gathered in the plaza.


    As Li Yuan and his group of dozens entered with great momentum, they immediately attracted the attention of the many first-year freshmen on the plaza.


    ¡°They are from the Sixth Institute.¡±


    ¡°That one is Gu Qianghan.¡±


    ¡°From the Sixth Institute,¡± someone recognized them.


    In just a few days, Gu Qianghan gained a certain level of fame among the freshmen for his excellent ¡®organizational abilities.¡¯


    ¡°Could it be that they still want to compete in the entrance competition for the institutes?¡±


    ¡°The deadline is almost here; their strongest members should have participated already.¡±


    ¡°What are they doing here?¡± Many students showed puzzled looks on their faces.


    The entrance competition for the institutes was already nearing its end.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is here? He¡¯s from the Sixth Institute?¡±


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    ¡°So why did they all from Jiang City join the Sixth Institute? Didn¡¯t Li Yuan go to Starfire University?¡±


    ¡°He actually came?¡± Among the several hundred people, many were from Jiangbei Province and quickly recognized the conspicuous figure with the large backpack.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Who is Li Yuan?¡± Students from other provinces showed expressions of confusion. ¡°Never heard of him. He wasn¡¯t mentioned in the top ten admission scores this year.¡±


    ¡°Forget about it; go notify Wu Luo¡­¡±


    ¡°And Yang Hong. It¡¯s possible our Third Institute might lose the top spot,¡± some students from Jiangbei Province started to panic.


    They had witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s prowess.


    On this side.


    ¡°Rankings?¡± Li Yuan looked up and already saw two giant light screens on each side of the plaza displaying two sets of rankings.


    Kunlun Nine Mountains Individual Ranking (First Year):


    First place: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Second place: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Third place: Han Hongjun (288 points)

    ¡°Big brother, let¡¯s start,¡± An Nong whispered. ¡°The sooner we secure it, the sooner we can relax.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded and walked directly toward the virtual network pods in the distance.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Hai Feng, help me with my bag,¡± Li Yuan called out, slipping off his backpack to pass it to Dong Haifeng.


    After all, he was most familiar with Gu Qianghan and Dong Haifeng.


    The others? Although they called him ¡®senior brother,¡¯ Li Yuan didn¡¯t take it seriously.


    ¡°Senior brother, leave it to me, I¡¯m the best at this,¡± said An Nong, the tall and skinny boy standing alongside, as he caught the backpack from Li Yuan¡¯s hand and patted his chest, ¡°I will definitely hold on to it well.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, giving An Nong a curious look.


    ...


    The kid sure knew how to curry favor!


    ¡°Alright, An Nong, thanks a lot,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, not rejecting the offer.


    In the short time from the terminal to Xuanwu Tower, Li Yuan had already made up his mind.


    The students who were able to enroll in Kunlun Martial University might not have talents that matched his own, but they were all top choices, and at the very least, they all had the potential to become Prime Warriors in the future.


    What¡¯s most important is that this group of people were all from Jiang City!


    In ancient times, this meant they were naturally ¡®fellow villagers¡¯, thereby naturally having a foundation of trust among each other.


    Therefore, now that Gu Qianghan had already laid some groundwork for him, if he could truly rally this group of people together, unite them, and truly establish prestige and influence among them, it might be of great use in the future.


    So-called social networks and relationships are all built up step by step.


    His uncle, Li Changzhou, had taught Li Yuan from a young age not to focus only on the present.


    For instance, learning a few foreign languages, understanding an industry, acquiring additional certifications, and making more friends among classmates¡­might seem useless at the moment, even mostly useless, but at some critical moment in the future, you might be able to use one or two of these skills to great effect.


    In a word.


    Gathering more resources, it¡¯s never a mistake.


    ¡°Senior brother?¡±


    ¡°Are we electing the senior brother now?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t we wait until the Combat Assessment in July to choose the new senior brother?¡±


    ¡°Is this Li Yuan really that amazing?¡± Many freshmen were shocked upon hearing An Nong¡¯s address.


    The title of senior brother is clearly recognized for each class and each institute by the school.


    It¡¯s based on strength, and moreover, one must be willing, with competitions every half year.


    There are responsibilities, but also benefits.


    ¡°What do you guys know?¡± An Nong, holding the large bag, laughed coldly and said loudly, ¡°Everyone says Yang Hong is the senior brother for the freshmen of the Third Institute, and Wu Luo will be the senior brother for the Seventh Institute¡­ But do all the people in those two institutes truly acknowledge them?¡±


    The people in the venue looked at each other.


    At this moment, there were mostly students from the Third and Seventh Institutes in the venue.


    Truly acknowledging Wu Luo and Yang Hong? Forget about it!


    Many freshmen truly had never met Wu Luo and Yang Hong, so how could they recognize them?


    ¡°So you guys from the Sixth Institute genuinely recognize this Li Yuan?¡± someone finally couldn¡¯t help but shout.


    ¡°Of course, we do.¡±


    ¡°Our senior brother of the Sixth Institute is way stronger than those two, just you wait and see,¡± An Nong, waiting for this cue, immediately shouted towards Gu Qianghan and the others, ¡°Brothers and sisters, show them the unity of our Sixth Institute, call out to senior brother.¡±


    ¡°Senior brother!¡± Over thirty people, seemingly prepared, shouted in unison towards Li Yuan, their voices echoing throughout the entire venue.


    Li Yuan was taken aback and looked at An Nong again.


    The kid was a pro!


    Just one glance, and you could tell he was great at creating ¡®hype,¡¯ ¡®laying the groundwork,¡¯ and ¡®building anticipation,¡¯ perfect for public relations work.


    If he learned to write cliffhangers, he could try writing serialized novels online, and he¡¯d likely do well.


    ¡°Are they really calling him that?¡±


    ¡°Do so many people acknowledge him?¡±


    ¡°This Li Yuan, is he really that incredible?¡± The unified shouting from tens of people instantly subdued the six to seven hundred freshmen in the venue.


    Many students who were originally skeptical started to become doubtful.


    Is this Li Yuan really that incredible?


    In fact, there were also many students from the Sixth Institute in the venue who came from other provinces and didn¡¯t know Li Yuan, but they didn¡¯t dare to speak out in the face of such a situation.


    People have the instinct to conform and fit in, and nobody wanted to be labeled as a ¡®traitor of the Sixth Institute.¡¯


    For a moment, everyone in the venue couldn¡¯t help but turn their eyes toward Li Yuan, waiting to see his performance.


    They wanted to see how incredible he could really be.


    Could he truly reverse a deficit of over seven hundred points with his own strength?


    ¡°Senior brother, you can do it!¡±


    ¡°Beat the Third Institute, take the top spot.¡± An Nong, with the bag slung over one shoulder and waving his fist with the other hand, appeared extremely excited.


    The atmosphere was perfectly charged up.


    Li Yuan¡¯s expression showed a trace of oddity as he murmured to himself, ¡°If this act fails, it¡¯s game over, will probably get ridiculed for years.¡±


    To be the big brother, it¡¯s crucial to hold your ground in big moments.


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s okay.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only a seven hundred point gap, not seven thousand. Otherwise, it really would be a headache,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, and sat straight down into the public virtual network pod.


    The pod door closed.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes tightly shut, his consciousness connected, already entering the virtual network.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Everyone subconsciously looked up, eyes fixed on the two giant screens with the leaderboards on either side.


    In reality, every student could participate in the ¡®Kunlun Nine Mountains¡¯ virtual battles from their own villa.


    They could also see the real-time updates of the rankings.


    But however realistic the network is, what could be more exciting than being there in person?


    Hence, when the enrollment competition of the Eighth Institute approached closure, so many people came to the east hall of Xuanwu Tower.


    Primarily students from the Third and Seventh Institutes, they were actually prepared to celebrate.


    ¡­


    All freshmen from each institute have various chat groups.


    Therefore, in a very short time, many of the freshmen in the Xuanwu Tower were able to spread the news to their respective institute groups.


    ¡°Who is Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Does anyone know?¡± S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Sixth Institute is boasting that Li Yuan alone can chop down eight hundred points, how arrogant.¡±

    ¡°Eight hundred points? Aren¡¯t those idiots from the Sixth Institute saying that Li Yuan can grab a thousand points?¡±

    ¡°A thousand points? Bullshit! I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    ¡°Wait till I get there, I want to see the face-slapping.¡± An abundance of messages began spreading immediately across various institute groups.


    Many new students started hurrying over from their villas, wanting to catch the excitement.


    Others who were reluctant to go out also instinctively followed the rankings and group messages.


    ¡­Inside a villa belonging to a student of the Seventh Institute.


    ...


    Underground Martial Arts Room.


    A handsome youth holding a sword and shield was silently practicing in the Martial Arts Room.


    Wu Luo!


    At the Jiangbei Martial University¡¯s invitation event, although he was defeated by Li Yuan in the cage brawl, he performed well in the Combat Assessment and broke into the top ten.


    Eventually, Kunlun Martial University used another of their S-grade special training contracts to sign him.


    Wu Luo did not disappoint, ranking eighth in martial arts scores in Jiangbei Province in the college entrance exam.


    This achievement was barely enough to qualify for the top three global premier martial schools.


    ¡°If I went to Starry Sky University, I¡¯d be the least noticeable one, the bottom class, with no one valuing me,¡± Wu Luo silently practiced his Sword Technique: ¡°But at Kunlun Martial University, I am among the top-tier talents, able to receive the most cultivation resources.¡±


    ¡°The odds of achieving great success are even higher!¡±


    ¡°Moreover, after the college entrance exam, I managed to break through to Unity of Mind and Body, and my Sword Technique has just stepped into the Fourth Level.¡± Wu Luo thought to himself: ¡°Among the two thousand freshmen, aside from that Yang Hong, no one else is my match.¡±


    Wu Luo had his own considerations.


    He was well aware that compared to geniuses like Tian Dazhuang and Wu Dongdong, he was slightly inferior and would struggle to rise rapidly at Starry Sky University.


    ¡°Yang Hong.¡±


    ¡°Just you wait.¡± Wu Luo¡¯s eyes were resolute: ¡°When it comes to Physical Quality, you¡¯re not my match. By the end of July¡¯s Combat Assessment, I will definitely be stronger than you.¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Beep~¡± The assistant AI sounded an alert: ¡°Master, an important person has sent a message, with the remark ¡®new student Yang Hong¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Yang Hong?¡± Wu Luo was slightly surprised as he spoke in a low tone: ¡°Answer.¡±


    Whoosh~ A beam of light shot out, and a hologram formed, displaying a burly man holding a large axe, who seemed to have also been practicing just now.


    ¡°Yang Hong, what¡¯s up?¡± Wu Luo said indifferently.


    ¡°Have you seen the ranking for the entrance competition?¡± the burly youth asked in a low voice.


    ¡°No.¡± Wu Luo frowned.


    He typically did not take calls during his practice time, and since it had only been a few days since entering school, there were only a few in the Seventh Institute who knew his communicator number.


    Thus, even after ten minutes had passed, no one could contact him.


    ¡°Someone has surpassed both your score and mine,¡± the burly youth said somberly.


    ¡°What, surpassed? Are there any other Fourth Level Martial Arts Skill masters among the freshmen? Who?¡± A hint of shock flashed through Wu Luo¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°From what I¡¯ve heard from other students, you should be quite familiar with this person,¡± the burly youth¡¯s face showed a trace of puzzling meaning.


    ¡°Someone I¡¯m familiar with?¡± Wu Luo grew even more confused.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡± The burly youth almost seemed to smile as he uttered the two words.


    Boom!


    Those two words, like a thunderclap, caused Wu Luo to widen his eyes in disbelief.


    That monster, Li Yuan, came to Kunlun Martial University?


    ¡­After ending the call with Yang Hong, Wu Luo immediately walked over to pick up his smart bracelet and swiftly tapped on the ¡®Kunlun Martial University¡¯ app to check the rankings.


    Kunlun Nine Mountains Individual Rankings (Freshmen):


    First place: Li Yuan (586 points)


    Second place: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Third place: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Fourth place: Han Hongjun (288 points)


    ¡­


    ¡°588, 591.¡± Wu Luo watched as the numbers beside Li Yuan¡¯s name on the hologram quickly jumped.


    In the blink of an eye, they had soared past 600 points.


    What did this indicate?


    Li Yuan had hardly faced any significant resistance, sweeping through all his opponents with ease.


    Wu Luo, who had also reached over three hundred points, knew all too well the strength of the opponents Li Yuan was facing.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    Wu Luo muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a touch of unwillingness: ¡°Could it be that after several months, though I finally made a breakthrough to the Fourth Level, the gap between us hasn¡¯t narrowed, but has in fact grown even wider?¡±


    He stared intently at the hologram.


    ¡°A thousand points.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t possibly break through a thousand points and directly enter the Fifth Mountain, can you?¡± Wu Luo thought silently.


    ¡­


    In the virtual network, within a space affiliated with Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    Some extremely mysterious and special areas, enveloped in mists, vast and boundless, stood nine tall mountains.


    The Kunlun Nine Mountains, with each peak taller than the last, the highest peak reaching into the clouds.


    Fourth Mountain, on the spacious mountain path.


    ¡°`


    At this moment, blood had already flowed like a river, and one after another the bodies of Star Realm Creatures, resembling wolves with their silvery bodies, lay in pools of blood.


    A handsome young man holding a long spear moved along the mountain path with a subdued expression, unfazed by the bloodshed.


    The spear flickered, like lightning.


    With each thrust of his weapon, another Star Realm Creature fell, symbolizing death.


    Li Yuan¡¯s points were skyrocketing.


    ¡°This challenge of Kunlun Nine Mountains is easier than I thought, I breezed through to the Fourth Mountain,¡± Li Yuan even had the energy to observe his surroundings.


    In Kunlun Nine Mountains, one can freely choose their Physical Quality level, and by killing off all opponents on each mountain, you can pass.


    Li Yuan had chosen the Physical Quality level of 10.0, and so far, the opponents that had appeared were at level 9.0, including all types of Star Realm Creatures.


    The further one went, the higher the skill level of the opponents encountered.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Suddenly, a low growl resounded, and an enormous silver wolf king emerged, darting towards Li Yuan with noticeably faster speed and strength.


    ¡°Finally, it¡¯s here.¡±


    ¡°Is this the part where you clear the minions and the final boss shows up? After getting rid of the boss, should this level be considered passed?¡± Li Yuan grinned and advanced to meet the challenge.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The spear¡¯s shadow shifted unpredictably as Li Yuan instantly unleashed ¡®Twelve Continuous Strikes¡¯ in an attempt to kill the silver wolf king outright.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The wolf¡¯s claws changed as if they were made of metal, effortlessly blocking Li Yuan¡¯s rapid spear strikes.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    ¡°Worthy of being the boss.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up. After nearly twenty minutes storming through the Kunlun Nine Mountains, he finally found an opponent worth fighting.


    This silver wolf king, in terms of Physical Quality, was even inferior to the Moon Demon Wolf King that Li Yuan had faced in the past.


    But its skills were extraordinarily adept.


    ¡°It must have achieved Unity, a threshold skill of the Fourth Level,¡± Li Yuan instantly judged, ¡°Its Physical Quality should be around level 11.¡± Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In terms of skills, Li Yuan was stronger!


    In terms of Physical Quality, the silver wolf king was stronger.


    Who would have the last laugh?


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan finally stopped holding back, his spear transformed into a blur, instantly wiping out the last three common silver wolves, and pounced on the silver wolf king like lightning.


    ¡­


    In the building of Xuanwu Tower, the venue was now filled with over nine hundred students.


    It wasn¡¯t just freshmen, there were quite a few sophomores and even juniors who had come to join in the excitement.


    The venue was very quiet.


    Almost everyone¡¯s gaze was fixed on two huge screens in the distance, displaying the rankings:


    Kunlun Nine Mountains Individual Ranking (Freshmen):


    First place: Li Yuan (700 points)


    Second place: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Third place: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Fourth place: Han Hongjun (288 points)


    ¡­


    Sixth Institute Admission Competition (Institute):


    First place: Third Institute (6563 points)


    Second place: Sixth Institute (6467 points)


    Third place: Seventh Institute (6043 points)


    Fourth place: Fifth Institute (5956 points)


    ¡­


    ¡°Seven hundred points already.¡±


    ¡°Sixth Institute has already surged to second place.¡±


    ¡°This Li Yuan is too formidable, his Martial Arts Skills are so much stronger than Yang Hong and Wu Luo?¡± Freshmen from other institutes were rather shocked.


    Almost all freshmen had tried the Kunlun Nine Mountains challenge, but most couldn¡¯t get past the first mountain. Managing to obtain 30 points and enter the second mountain was already considered good.


    Li Yuan? He alone had scored a whopping 700 points!!


    And he hadn¡¯t stopped yet, he was still progressing.


    ¡°Senior brother is still as fierce,¡±


    ¡°Senior brother seems much stronger than when he was in the Jiangbei Invitational event,¡±


    ¡°Amazing, our Sixth Institute has already reached second place,¡± An Nong, Dong Haifeng, and other students from Jiangbei Province expressed a mix of admiration and shock.


    There were many freshmen from Jiangbei at Kunlun Martial University, over three hundred.


    Most had witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s battles.


    They felt that Li Yuan was even more formidable than before.


    At this moment, there was only one thought in the minds of most freshmen in the venue.


    Could Li Yuan truly lead the Sixth Institute to take first place directly?

    Chapter 112: Chapter 106: New Record! The First in History! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)


    In the venue, everyone was staring at the two giant screens, eager to see the final results.


    ¡°Li Yuan, truly impressive! You should change your name to ¡®Li Qianghan¡¯.¡± Gu Qianghan stood among the crowd, eyes shining.


    ¡°The score isn¡¯t changing.¡±


    ¡°700 points, why has it stopped moving?¡±


    ¡°Could it be a failure?¡±


    ¡°Could he have been killed by the Mountain Guardian of the Star Realm Creatures?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s score had been stuck at 700 points and hadn¡¯t moved, which immediately sparked speculation among many first-year newcomers.


    ...


    Even Dongfang Hai and An Nong were a bit worried.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, trust the big brother to take down a thousand points as if it¡¯s nothing.¡± Gu Qianghan alone remained utterly confident.


    ¡°Really?¡± Many students from the Sixth Institute expressed their concerns.


    ¡°Trust my judgment.¡± Gu Qianghan grinned, giving off an air of unfathomable depth.


    Gu Qianghan muttered to himself, ¡°According to my sister¡¯s words, Li Yuan¡¯s Martial Arts Skills are among the top few dozens globally for his age, and within the first-year students of Kunlun Martial University, he is utterly dominant.¡±


    Why did Gu Qianghan have such faith in Li Yuan? Was it blind trust?


    No! It was because of intelligence!


    He had learned from Lin Lanyue about the level of Li Yuan¡¯s skills, which should have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level.


    However, Gu Qianghan never disclosed this information to other students because he wanted to maintain his own image.


    Similarly, dozens of second and third-year students in the venue were also well aware.


    ¡°This junior named Li Yuan is indeed formidable.¡±


    ¡°Junior? In our second year, except for Senior Brother Liu and the other two who reached the Fifth Mountain, the rest can¡¯t compare to him.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t just talk about second year. As far as I know, even most of the older students from fifth year have been stuck on the Third Mountain for several years.¡± These second and third-year students were quite shocked.


    It was simply too ferocious.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, a first-year newcomer who hadn¡¯t even started school.


    Based solely on the exposed Martial Arts Skills, he was already in the top tier among third-year students.


    In the second year, he was absolutely in the top five.


    How exaggerated?


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t finished yet, his name is still lit up, indicating he¡¯s still challenging. He must be battling with the Mountain Guardian of the Fourth Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Probably.¡± These older students were communicating, ¡°I feel like he can totally compare with those creatures from Starry Sky and Starfire.¡±


    ¡°Compare with the creatures from Starfire? Indeed! He can compare with them. Our school has produced a monster this year, haha.¡±


    ¡°Can he win against the Mountain Guardian of the Fourth Mountain?¡±


    ¡°Unlikely.¡±


    ¡°If he wins, wouldn¡¯t that mean he could enter the Fifth Mountain? A first-year newbie who hasn¡¯t officially started school, crossing the Fifth Mountain in the entrance competition? Even Senior Brother Jin didn¡¯t achieve that.¡±


    ¡°Not just Senior Brother Jin, I just looked at the historical records, and in history, only one senior has ever done it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible.¡±


    ¡°700 points, already outrageously impressive. Compared to him, we¡¯re practically nothing.¡± These second and third-year students subconsciously found it inconceivable.


    Most people, when living through a significant historical event that will be remembered for millennia, are usually completely unaware of it.


    Because of this, most people tend to underestimate the present compared to the past.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The numbers on both screens jumped at the same time. Li Yuan¡¯s score leaped from 700 points straight to 1000 points.


    First: Li Yuan (1000 points)


    Second: Yang Hong (399 points)


    Third: Wu Luo (329 points)


    Fourth: Han Hongjun (288 points)

    ¡°1000 points!!¡±


    ¡°Holy shit, he really won! Big brother is amazing!¡± An Nong and Gu Qianghan almost jumped up at the same time, both suddenly swinging their fists.


    It was as if they themselves had cleared 1000 points.


    Subconsciously, Gu Qianghan couldn¡¯t help stealing a glance at An Nong, sensing a familiar aura about him.


    The scent of a rival!


    ¡°Brother Qiang.¡± An Nong touched his head sheepishly and then quickly continued cheering and swinging his fist: ¡°Number one! The Sixth Institute is number one.¡±


    ¡°Big brother is amazing.¡±


    ¡°1000 points! Grabbing the first place.¡± The whole venue erupted at that moment, whether they were from Jiangbei Province or not, every student from the Sixth Institute was boiling over.


    They all felt a sense of glory.


    ¡°1000 points?¡±


    ¡°This Li Yuan, did he really score a thousand points? He¡¯s that much stronger than Yang Hong and Wu Luo?¡±


    ¡°Is the system broken or something?¡± Newcomers from other institutes were somewhat incredulous.


    It was just too preposterous.


    If Li Yuan had scored five hundred or six hundred points, they might have reluctantly accepted it, but 1000 points?


    This indicated that even the very top new recruits could not compare to Li Yuan.


    It was a precipitous lead.


    ¡°What do you all know, that Wu Luo was completely defeated by our big brother as early as March.¡±


    An Nong immediately took up the role of a commentator and began to shout, ¡°Our big brother, in terms of strength, is one of the very best nationwide. It¡¯s only because he hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit that he came to Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°Our big brother¡¯s high school exam, the Martial Arts Score was 900 points! Full score!¡± Gu Qianghan also shouted.


    ¡°900 points?¡±


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit? What!¡± Many students from other provinces in the venue were stunned.


    A full score prodigy?


    You should know that, on average, each province across the country only sees 1-2 of such Martial Arts prodigies.


    Shouldn¡¯t such an individual definitely go to one of the global top three martial arts schools? Yet he chose Kunlun Martial University?


    ¡°Truly 1000 points?¡±


    ¡°This is even more ferocious than Senior Brother Jin back in the day. He¡¯s a monster.¡±


    ¡°Where did he pop up from?¡±


    ¡°His score is still rising?¡±


    ¡°His Martial Arts Skills must be at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level, just how old is he? He hasn¡¯t even started school?¡±


    ¡°Such a monster would be very highly ranked even at Starfire University, right?¡±


    ¡°He actually came to our school?¡±


    ¡°Full score in Martial Arts and hasn¡¯t awakened his Martial Spirit?¡± The dozens of older students, watching the score and listening to the tales of Li Yuan¡¯s past glories told by new students from Jiang City¡¯s Sixth Institute, were utterly unsettled.


    They couldn¡¯t help but feel that way.


    1000 points, and 700 points, were completely different concepts.


    Most of these second and third-year students knew the specific point scores and the requirements of the Kunlun Nine Mountains:


    First Mountain: 1-30 points, with the full score requirement around Second Stage Perfection.


    Second Mountain: 30-100 points, with the full score requirement around Third Stage High Rank


    ¡°`


    Third Mountain: 100-300 Points, the full score requirement is approximately at the Initial Rank of the Fourth Level.


    Fourth Mountain: 300-1000 Points, the full score requirement is approximately at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level.


    Fifth Mountain: 1000-3000 Points


    Sixth Mountain: 3000-10000 Points


    ¡­


    ¡°He¡¯s still breaking through.¡±


    ¡°1200 Points now.¡±


    ¡°He surely won¡¯t make it to the Sixth Mountain,¡± everyone stared intently at the two colossal light screens in the distance.


    Over the years, Kunlun Martial University had students who suddenly burst forth and rose to prominence during their time at university.


    But overall, they were far from matching the top talents at the top three martial arts universities.


    Today, Li Yuan¡¯s dimension-reducing strike genuinely delivered a shocking blow to the hearts and minds of both new and old students of Kunlun Martial University.


    Is this a freshman?

    ¡°Just now, I was forced to use the third form of the Stellar Spear Technique, ¡®Dawn Piercing the Clouds¡¯, to barely kill the final Wolf King of the Fourth Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Now these opponents, each and every one, could be considered a weakened version of the Wolf King.¡±


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, was in a very sorry state, his figure shifting like the wind as he dodged the attacks of human-shaped Star Realm Creatures.


    These Star Realm Creatures were physically much weaker than Li Yuan, but all possessed martial arts skills at the threshold of the Fourth Level.


    Every move was ruthless.


    Under the combined assault of more than ten opponents, Li Yuan was utterly suppressed, and it was difficult for him to kill even one.


    Suddenly. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± Li Yuan seized an opportunity, his spear like lightning, its tip instantly pierced the throat of one of the Star Realm Creatures.


    Blood splattered! Dead!


    But in the next moment.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± A blurred blade light also instantly swept across Li Yuan¡¯s back, the terrifying impact made him stumble, his body involuntarily surged forward, no longer able to maintain perfect balance.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The other Star Realm Creatures instantly seized the chance, unleashing a barrage of ferocious combos.


    After barely dodging three strikes.


    ¡°Puff~¡±


    A slash of the blade, and Li Yuan¡¯s figure vanished from the Fifth Mountain.


    Failed!


    ¡°Congratulations, freshman ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, for reaching the Fifth Mountain on your first attempt in the Kunlun Nine Mountains, achieving 1300 Points, setting a new historical record in the admission competition, and entering the top hundred of the freshman records for the Kunlun Nine Mountains.¡± A system voice announced.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had already returned to his ¡®personal exclusive space¡¯ in the Kunlun Space.


    ¡°Admission competition historical record?¡± Li Yuan paused, then clicked twice on the light screen to check.


    ¡­Admission Competition Historical Record (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present):


    First place: Li Yuan, 1300 Points (2043)


    Second place: Yan Jing, 1100 Points (2029)


    Third place: Jin Huguo, 700 Points (2041)

    First place: Yan Jing, 8000 Points (2030)


    Second place: Jin Huguo, 8000 Points (2042)


    Third¡­


    ¡­


    Sixty-seventh place: Li Yuan, 1300 Points (2043)


    ¡­


    ¡°First in history?¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment before he understood the significance of the two leaderboards.


    The first leaderboard represented that since 2009, among all students who participated in the admission competition, he was the first in points.


    First in history!!


    The second leaderboard was not limited to the admission competition, but reflected the overall scores of all freshmen who had ever challenged the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    ¡°Jin Huguo?¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, remembering the name from the leaderboard.


    Because with a simple calculation of the time.


    Li Yuan knew that Jin Huguo was the only one still in school among the top ten in the history of the admission competition records.


    Jin Huguo must be a senior who just started his third year.


    ¡°He reached 8000 Points in the Kunlun Nine Mountains at the end of his freshman year? That score, it must be the Sixth Mountain,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled with a hint of light as he smiled, ¡°Very good.¡±


    ¡°It looks like Kunlun Martial University also has some geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Finally, there¡¯s a bit of a challenge.¡±


    ¡­


    Clank~ The virtual network pod opened, and Li Yuan stood up, feeling the outside atmosphere boiling over.


    ¡°Senior Brother!¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother!¡± An Nong and Gu Qianghan stood at the front, exchanged a knowing glance and excitedly shouted out these words.


    Following that, dozens of new students from the Sixth Institute in Jiang City started shouting ¡®Senior Brother¡¯ with excitement.


    Then, new students from other provinces who belonged to the Sixth Institute also joined in.


    In a short time, the entire venue resounded with shouts of ¡®Senior Brother¡¯.


    This scene left the new and old students from other institutes speechless, yet unable to refute.


    With such strength, who else could be the Senior Brother?


    ¡­


    ¡°1300 Points?¡± Wu Luo, who was in the basement, looked at the score on his smart ring.


    After a long silence.


    ¡°Damn, is he this freakish! If I had known, I would not have chosen Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°1300 Points?¡±


    ¡°First in history? Damn impressive!¡±


    A hulking young man by the name of Yang Hong, also in his villa, chuckled to himself while looking at the score above, ¡°With such a score, will he participate in the Global University Martial Arts Competition in his freshman year?¡±


    The Global University Martial Arts Competition was a contest among students from martial arts universities around the globe.


    But normally, freshmen wouldn¡¯t get the chance to participate.


    ¡­


    Such important news didn¡¯t require students to inform the teachers.


    The relevant teachers had already received notifications from the auxiliary AI the moment it happened.


    Heilong Building, a building dedicated to students and teachers of the Sixth Institute.


    Ninth floor, inside an office.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± President Li, who was pondering over a cultivation plan, suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate and looked down to check.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    President Li was taken aback, ¡°1300 Points? Goodness, that¡¯s a big leap from last time, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that this kid is really cheating?¡±

 Chapter 114 - 108: The Elite Battle of Human Martial Path (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 114: Chapter 108: The Elite Battle of Human Martial Path (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Two hours after practicing the Basic Cultivation Method.


    Li Yuan felt exhilarated, his body more invigorated than ever.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a basic method, but it¡¯s one forged through thousands of refinements by my ancestors of the Human Race,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°After advancing to the Fourth Level in all martial arts skills and using auxiliary treasures like body cleansing spiritual marrow and Essence Pills.¡±


    ¡°With the Basic Cultivation Method, the evolution speed of my body is extremely rapid, surpassing by far most of the freshmen who cultivate high rank methods,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    High Rank Cultivation Methods indeed help one advance faster, but everyone¡¯s talent is different, and there is often a limit to how fast one can progress.


    ...


    And without a doubt.


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical talent was exceptionally high, augmented by an abundance of resources bought with a considerable sum of money.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan could endure the terrible pain that came with using body cleansing spiritual marrow three times a month.


    This made the speed of his physical quality improvement astonishingly fast.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Considering my current rate of improvement, achieving what Uncle Wan mentioned, becoming a Prime Warrior within two years? That¡¯s tough!¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly as he glanced at his Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 10.8 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 1710 kilograms


    Speed: 24.5 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 17.9 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 12.8% (Current limit 20%)


    Physical Body Cultivation Method: ¡°Solid Rock Cultivation Method¡±


    Mental Cultivation Method: ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡±


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 42%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 31%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 44%)


    ¡­


    ¡°Since the grading exam in April, when I became an Entry Rank Martial Artist, I¡¯ve been improving by about 0.3 levels each month,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°But it will definitely get slower as I progress.¡±


    Becoming a Prime Warrior in two years? Nearly impossible!


    ¡°However, if Uncle Wan says so, he must have his reasons.¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°After all, he is a Prime Warrior and part of the management at Starfire Martial Hall, and he graduated from Kunlun Martial University. He must know something.¡±


    Li Yuan could only think of two possibilities.


    First, as his martial arts skills improved, especially after reaching ¡®Subtlety¡¯, the efficiency of his body conditioning would be much greater than he imagined.


    Second, Kunlun Martial University had special cultivation methods for students with S-Grade special training contracts that he was unaware of.


    ¡°Tomorrow is the official start of the school year.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll see President Li and ask for more details,¡± Li Yuan looked forward with anticipation.


    ¡­


    At three in the morning, after ending his cultivation of the ¡°Observing the Great Sun and Stars Technique,¡± Li Yuan, as usual, entered the virtual reality pod.


    Preparing to have a few rank-matched fights on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    But as soon as he entered his personal space.


    ¡°Master, you received three transfers and two document explanations yesterday,¡± said the black-clad young girl respectfully, like a maid.


    ¡°Three transfers?¡±


    Li Yuan was slightly surprised, and he quickly checked them. One was for 20 thousand, another for 500 thousand.


    These were for the team award and the individual award in the entrance competition.


    And there was another of 10 million Blue Star Coins!


    ¡°Kunlun Martial University¡¯s S-Grade contract cash reward?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°They¡¯ve already issued it upon my confirmed arrival at the campus?¡±


    This was for the entire year.


    As per the contract, a signing fee of one million Blue Star Coins had already been given to Li Yuan.


    Subsequent annual rewards amounted to 10 million, totaling to 50 million Blue Star Coins over five years.


    Meanwhile.


    In the S-Grade special training contract with Kunlun Martial University, it was stipulated that as soon as Li Yuan became a Prime Warrior, all subsequent cash rewards would be issued in one lump sum.


    Becoming a Prime Warrior signified being qualified to ¡®graduate¡¯, with the option to apply for early graduation.


    ¡°Compared with Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s A-Grade contract, the cash rewarded by Kunlun Martial University is indeed lesser,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Under the A-Grade contract Li Yuan signed with Starfire Martial Hall, a total of 43.2 million Blue Star Coins and 43.2 million Martial Hall Points would be issued over six years.


    Plus, over eighty million Cultivation Points.


    And this was just an A-Grade contract; if it were an S-Grade contract with Starfire Martial Hall, the various cultivation resource rewards would at least quadruple.


    Before becoming a Prime Warrior, such rewards were astronomical.


    However.


    Li Yuan was well aware of the difference between the two contracts: the Martial Hall¡¯s rewards were mainly cultivation resources, and they rarely supervised how the cultivation was done.


    For those who excelled, the contract level could be elevated.


    For those not making enough progress? They would simply be one among the masses, without a decrease in the contract level.


    As for Martial Arts Universities, their training programs were much more comprehensive, offering full guidance in all aspects, with many benefits not specified in the contract.


    For example, the reduction in benefits isn¡¯t in cash rewards but many other special resources that aren¡¯t written in the contract, like teaching staff, practical combat training partners, heavenly materials treasures, and so on.


    ¡­


    At four in the morning,


    Li Yuan¡¯s day of arduous cultivation truly began.


    At eight in the morning, after consuming an Essence Pill, he also ate three nutritious meals that were delivered.


    That¡¯s right!


    The cafeteria of Kunlun Martial University was very small, and students hardly ever ate there.


    Because each student could order meals anytime they wanted, delivered to their villas or academic buildings, and up to 20 nutritious meals a day were completely free.


    The entire Kunlun Martial University, with its massive number of logistics staff, assistant robots, and more, just for student services,


    Their goal was to allow every student to devote themselves entirely to Martial Path cultivation.


    ¡­


    At nine in the morning, Li Yuan took a flying vehicle and arrived at the Heilong Building, exclusive to teachers and students of the Sixth Institute.


    ¡°Heilong.¡±


    As Li Yuan got off the flying vehicle, he immediately saw the gigantic skeletal remains coiling up in front of the building.


    Even though it coiled around, its height nearly matched that of the whole building.


    If stretched out, it would probably be hundreds of meters long, a sight so shocking it could stir the soul.


    It resembled the skeletal remains of a giant serpent.


    Even though it had been dead for many years, as Li Yuan approached closely, he could still feel a wisp of its aura, causing one¡¯s heart to tremble.


    ¡°Big brother!¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan.¡± Two voices called out from a distance, it was Gu Qianghan and An Nong.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± Li Yuan turned his head and smiled at the two.


    ¡°Looking at the skeleton of the black dragon?¡± Gu Qianghan asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, looking up at the gigantic skeleton of the black dragon: ¡°I read the academy¡¯s brochure yesterday.¡±


    ¡°It is a black dragon that burst forth more than twenty years ago, from the deep South Sea not far from the Ruins Star Realm, stirring up the wind and clouds, causing a terrifying tsunami that resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties,¡± Li Yuan said softly: ¡°In the end, it was our university¡¯s Dean Hai who took action, traveling thousands of miles across the South Sea, diving thousands of meters into the seabed, before finally killing it.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°We know too.¡±


    ¡°Dean Hai¡¯s famous battle, the flying heaven duel, the slaying of the South Sea black dragon,¡± both Gu Qianghan and An Nong couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Dean Hai is the only Flying Heaven Warrior among the six institutes.


    His power is terrifying, his fame illustrious.


    The battle to kill the South Sea black dragon, back then, shook the entire Xia Country.


    The children of their generation mostly heard about it, and even saw some video clips of it.


    ¡°Big brother.¡±


    ¡°Elder brother.¡± More freshmen walked over, and after yesterday¡¯s event at Xuanwu Tower, all the first-years from the Sixth Institute recognized Li Yuan and greeted him.


    Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.


    ¡°Big brother, rest assured.¡± Sounding low, An Nong said, ¡°I¡¯ve hastily chosen six people overnight and have started informing all the freshmen in batches.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a problem,¡± said An Nong.


    ¡°Alright, thank you for your hard work,¡± Li Yuan could not help but glance at An Nong, seeing him as a real talent.


    But he wondered how good An Nong¡¯s martial arts skills were.


    ¡­The Sixth Institute¡¯s freshman orientation ceremony officially began at ten, and all the students were looking forward to seeing Dean Hai, who did not show up.


    Two vice-deans came instead.


    After various speeches, at eleven o¡¯clock, when President Li announced the selection of the ¡®Master Brother¡¯ for the first semester of freshman year.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Master brother, Li Yuan!¡± The whole venue, within just a few seconds, erupted with a tsunami of cheering.


    Such enthusiasm.


    Not to mention President Li and the other leaders and teachers of the institutes, even Li Yuan himself was a bit flustered.


    ¡°Could I really be this popular?¡± Li Yuan doubted.


    But what Li Yuan didn¡¯t know. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Last night.


    An Nong used only one argument to dispel any doubts among the Sixth Institute¡¯s freshmen: ¡°It¡¯s not that Li Yuan wants to be master brother; do you think he, a martial arts prodigy, cares about a title like master brother?¡±


    ¡°Without being the master brother, do you think the vice-deans and the dean would not cultivate him personally?¡±


    ¡°Remember, we need Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that Li Yuan needs our support, but that we need his help. Only if Li Yuan becomes master brother will he be willing to lead us to winnings for the next few years¡­ Anyone opposing Li Yuan as master brother is not opposing him.¡±


    ¡°They are opposing all of us, the more than two hundred new students of the Sixth Institute. They want to cut off the financial lifeline of all the new students!¡±


    ¡°They are our sworn enemies.¡±


    ¡°Now, I ask again, does anyone still oppose?¡±


    No one questioned anymore.


    Finally, today¡¯s freshmen¡¯s orientation ceremony saw such a frenzied scene.


    Amidst shouts calling for his unanimous election as ¡®Master Brother.¡¯


    A grand, successful, and perfect orientation ceremony for the Sixth Institute¡¯s new first-year students officially ended.


    ¡­


    In the afternoon, a drizzle began to fall, gently landing on the spiraling skeleton of the enormous black dragon.


    On the ninth floor, in President Li¡¯s office.


    ¡°You¡¯re quite popular. Arriving on the last day, and yet everyone willingly voted for you to be master brother,¡± President Li said to Li Yuan, with a smile that was not quite a smile.


    ¡°You flatter me, President Li,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    ¡°No matter, we¡¯re aware of your performance in the Xuanwu Tower yesterday,¡± President Li smiled: ¡°If not you, no one else could convince everyone.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°This is a minor matter, your cultivation is what¡¯s important,¡± President Li smiled: ¡°Are you just proud about creating a record in the entrance competition?¡±


    ¡°I would not dare,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°Sit down, take your time,¡± President Li said, his demeanor becoming like that of an ordinary elder.


    Li Yuan obediently sat down.


    ¡°Your performance is indeed commendable, stronger than both Yan Jing and Jin Huguo,¡± President Li laughed: ¡°Those two, Yan Jing graduated a few years ago and is already a 29th-rank Prime Warrior, not inferior in strength to me.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Calculating it, this senior Yan Jing.


    Should only be around 30 years old now, having become a 29th-rank Prime Warrior, his cultivation speed was indeed terrifying.


    ¡°The other, named Jin Huguo, is our school¡¯s current top genius, and also the only student from our school who made it into the top hundred of the global university martial arts competition¡¯s virtual battle this past February.¡±


    ¡°The only one?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat surprised and couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°Not a single one from the senior year students could catch up to Jin Huguo?¡±


    ¡°Seniors in their fourth and fifth years of study have been cultivating for longer, and there are naturally those who are on par with, or even stronger than him,¡± President Li explained.


    ¡°However, the global university martial arts competition only allows students up to the third year to participate.¡±


    ¡°The global university martial arts competition consists of virtual battles and real combat.¡±


    ¡°Within virtual battles, you need at least a Fourth Level skill realm to qualify.¡±


    ¡°For real combat, you must at least be a Prime Warrior to participate,¡± President Li said with some emotion: ¡°Jin Huguo isn¡¯t a Prime Warrior yet, so he could only partake in virtual battles last time.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless; it was as he suspected.


    Becoming a Prime Warrior before one¡¯s senior year indeed seemed difficult.


    ¡°As for seniors,¡± President Li smiled, ¡°the senior students can partake in the Human Race Martial Elite Battle.¡±


    ¡°It is a real combat competition for martial elites of all martial universities from the Seven Star Alliance, across the Seven Great Planets.¡±


    ¡°It is also the highest honor every martial arts university strives to achieve.¡±

 Chapter 115 - 109: The Dean becomes a Teacher (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    Chapter 115: Chapter 109: The Dean becomes a Teacher (Seeking Monthly Tickets)


    ¡°Human Martial Elite Battle?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shimmered slightly.


    He had heard of this competition, and it was very popular on the virtual network.


    There were many rumors,


    but mostly just text messages, as concrete videos of the battle were rarely searchable on the internet. It seemed like all videos were controlled and their distribution not allowed.


    ¡°Only students of fourth and fifth year can participate?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Haha, that¡¯s not the case,¡± President Li laughed. ¡°In fact, both of these competitions set age restrictions based on September 1st, similar to the Blue Star Youth Ranking.¡±


    ...


    ¡°For example, to participate in the next Global University Martial Arts Competition, one must be born after September 1st, 2022.¡±


    ¡°For the next Human Martial Elite Battle, participants must be born after September 1st, 2020,¡± President Li said with a smile. ¡°Over the decades, a tradition has formed where freshman, sophomores, and juniors participate in the global competition.¡±


    ¡°And seniors and fifth-year students join the Human Martial Elite Battle.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    This was a continuation of the current college entrance examination system, which used September 1st as a cutoff date for admission ages, not allowing either early or delayed admissions and strictly enforced.


    One could retake the exam for cultural universities,


    but to apply for Martial Arts University? You must be at least 17 years old and under 18.


    ¡°In fact, even if you don¡¯t get into Martial Arts University, as long as you meet the age requirement, you can still participate.¡±


    ¡°However, over the decades, there have been very few martial arts geniuses who rose to prominence without the cultivation of Martial Arts Universities, and gradually it has become a competition between the various Martial Arts Universities,¡± President Li said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    A dark horse coming from the general populace? In most cases, that¡¯s just some people¡¯s fantasy.


    Only the strongest talents, combined with the best instructors and cultivation resources, can give rise to genuine geniuses.


    ¡°Normally, the champion of the Human Martial Elite Battle is a fifth-year student, as having longer training naturally confers an advantage,¡± said President Li. ¡°However, there have been some extraordinary geniuses in history who won the championship early.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Quite a few,¡± President Li said with a smile. ¡°In the sixty-plus-year history of the competition, we in Xia Country have had a genius who won the championship as a junior.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai,¡± President Li said with a smile. ¡°You might not have heard of him, but he is very famous among high-rank martial artists, reaching fifth-stage skills at the age of 16.¡±


    ¡°16 years old? Fifth-stage skills?¡± Li Yuan was dumbstruck.


    Was that even possible?


    ¡°Unfortunately, his later achievements weren¡¯t great,¡± President Li shook his head. ¡°He only became a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    Li Yuan was astonished, becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior was considered an underachievement?


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°He was taken as a direct disciple by Dongfang Ji at the age of 17 and was expected to surpass the Flying Heaven Level, even rivaling Dongfang Ji,¡± President Li sighed. ¡°Unfortunately, he encountered a bottleneck and remains at the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    Li Yuan inwardly lamented, comparison is the thief of joy.


    ¡°So, don¡¯t be arrogant.¡±


    ¡°Your talent in martial arts skills is indeed one of the best in the recent thirty-year history of Kunlun Martial University,¡± President Li said. ¡°But in the full two-hundred-year history, you wouldn¡¯t even rank in the top hundred.¡±


    ¡°Top hundred?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    That low?


    ¡°In the earliest days, there were no three top martial schools, and Xia Country¡¯s most exceptional talents all stayed domestically,¡± President Li said. ¡°Understand?¡±


    Li Yuan got it.


    Just like himself, in terms of pure spear technique, he was indeed top-notch among this year¡¯s students of Xia Country, but there were still a bunch who could compare with him.


    In the past, these top talents would enter the top five famous schools.


    But in recent decades, each year¡¯s most powerful geniuses have almost always headed to the three top martial schools.


    Those who enter Kunlun Martial University are mostly second-tier students.


    Therefore, standing out at Kunlun Martial University was naturally easy.


    ¡°Don¡¯t dwell too much on the strength now. Starting early doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯ll reach the Flying Heaven Level. There are many who advance gradually,¡± President Li said.


    ¡°I still have high hopes for you to become a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± President Li said with a smile. ¡°Li Yuan, you currently have two main goals.¡±


    Li Yuan was all ears.


    This was an elder assigning a mission.


    ¡°First, is to make it past the Fifth Mountain of the Kunlun Nine Mountains before next February,¡± President Li said. ¡°As long as you do, I¡¯ll allow you to participate in next February¡¯s Global University Martial Arts Competition virtual battle.¡±


    ¡°Making it past the Fifth Mountain means your skills have reached high-rank fourth stage.¡±


    ¡°Making it past the Sixth Mountain means your skills have reached fourth-stage perfection.¡±


    ¡°Making it past the Seventh Mountain means your skills have entered the fifth stage,¡± President Li said seriously. ¡°In theory, you could join the virtual battle with fourth-stage skills, but if your strength isn¡¯t enough, it would just be embarrassing.¡±


    ¡°Normally, sophomores are allowed to compete,¡± President Li said. ¡°If you reach it, I¡¯ll let you go as a freshman to broaden your horizons.¡±


    ¡°Making it past the Fifth Mountain? High-rank fourth stage?¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, not finding it too difficult.


    After all, Li Yuan had set a goal for himself to reach the high-rank fourth-stage threshold by September.


    Only then could he claim the 20 million Blue Star Coins reward.


    ¡°The second goal is even more important ¨C the Ten Schools¡¯ Freshman Battle this October,¡± President Li said. ¡°Your goal is to come first, or at least make it into the top four.¡±


    ¡°The Ten Schools¡¯ Freshman Battle?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled. ¡°Which ten schools? Does it include our Xia Country¡¯s five famous schools?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°And five other great martial arts schools from Asia, like Sakura Country, Tianzhu Country¡­ The united competition is set to take place in our Xia Country this year.¡±


    ¡°Each year, the freshmen from the ten top martial arts schools will fight, and the rewards are substantial,¡± President Li said with a smile. ¡°The top sixteen will receive a 20 million Blue Star Coins reward.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    That was a lot.


    ¡°Money is just one aspect.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Alliance has prepared a Heavenly Materials Treasure for each of the top four in our freshman battle, which is really what¡¯s most important,¡± President Li looked at Li Yuan. ¡°These treasures mostly come from some mysterious Star Realms, and their value is hard to calculate with money.¡±


    ¡°If sold, they¡¯d easily fetch several hundred million Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°Each treasure is prepared specifically for your individual situation,¡± President Li continued. ¡°Do you understand?¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan replied, holding his breath.


    Heavenly Materials Treasures? Anything entitled with these words was extraordinary indeed.


    The last time he encountered one was the ¡®Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal¡¯ promised by Lord Yang of the Province.


    But the requirements were extremely demanding, and he couldn¡¯t see hope of achieving it anytime soon.


    Conversely, the ¡®Ten Schools Freshman War¡¯ in October is closer and more relaxed for me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t take it lightly.¡±


    President Li reminded, ¡°Just as our school has you, the other four famous schools in Xia Country also have some geniuses.¡±


    ¡°The other five famous schools in Asia also produce geniuses year after year¡­ In short, it¡¯s quite difficult to compete for the top four.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll work hard,¡± Li Yuan affirmed with a nod.


    A fighting spirit also kindled within him.


    This Freshman War of the Ten Schools seems to involve not just individual rewards but also the honor of the nation.


    Although the Seven Star Alliance was established over a hundred years ago, and the threat from foreign civilizations is significant, wars between the nations of Blue Star have ceased.


    But the competition during peacetime and the contest for national honor has never stopped.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan communicated with President Li, he gained an increasingly thorough understanding of the various training systems of Martial Arts University.


    ¡°You will personally teach me skills?¡± Li Yuan asked in surprise.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, am I not qualified?¡± President Li asked with a half-smile.


    ¡°No, not at all,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh, ¡°I¡¯m just a bit overwhelmed. I thought I¡¯d be following some other teacher.¡±


    Li Yuan had learned this from the school¡¯s introduction.


    The school¡¯s curriculum is divided into four categories: general education, skill classes, cultivation classes, and practical combat classes.


    Each category has different teachers.


    The most important are the skill classes, followed by the practical combat classes.


    ¡°Normally, a freshman would choose to follow one teacher for cultivation, for example, practicing spear techniques under a spear technique teacher.¡±


    ¡°Those who practice swords would follow a sword technique teacher,¡± President Li explained.


    ¡°Just for skills teachers, the school has more than three hundred.¡±


    ¡°A teacher might lead as few as twenty or thirty students but as many as nearly a hundred students.¡±


    ¡°Skills teachers are at least 26th level Prime Warriors, with skills perfected to ¡®Subtlety¡¯ at the Fourth Stage. It¡¯s quite easy for them to teach second and third stage students,¡± President Li said with a smile.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    Does that mean there are at least three hundred 25th level or higher Prime Warriors at Kunlun Martial University?


    Such teaching resources are indeed formidable.


    ¡°Once a student¡¯s martial skills reach the Fourth Stage, ordinary teachers struggle to provide guidance,¡± President Li continued, ¡°They must be led by a vice president.¡±


    ¡°In our institute, there are nearly 1,100 students currently.¡±


    ¡°Including you, there are 52 students with skills at or above the Fourth Stage.¡±


    ¡°The weapon I practice is the spear, which is perfect to teach you,¡± President Li said with a smile, ¡°For the next while, you¡¯ll be learning under me.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan desired nothing more.


    Before coming here, Li Yuan had spoken with Wan Qinghe.


    High school teachers and Martial Arts University teachers are completely different concepts.


    University skills teachers are more akin to the ancient master-disciple relationship.


    So without any hesitation, Li Yuan stood up and respectfully performed a deep bow, saying, ¡°Li Yuan greets the teacher.¡±


    Teacher, a title much more intimate compared to president.


    ¡°No need for such formalities, we¡¯re not in the times of ancient master-disciple practices,¡± President Li said as he stood up, reaching out to raise Li Yuan up.


    But Li Yuan moved more quickly, completing his deep bow.


    From beginning to end, without the slightest hesitation.


    ¡°Why bother, we¡¯re in modern society, don¡¯t stick to these formalities,¡± President Li said with a smile, yet unable to hide the joy on his face.


    Rituals might seem superficial, but they represent a kind of respect.


    In dealing with people and affairs, if one can¡¯t even manage the superficial, how can they discuss what¡¯s substantial?


    ¡­


    Two o¡¯clock in the afternoon.


    In a huge martial arts room on the seventh floor of the Heilong Building, there were already eighteen students in martial arts uniforms waiting inside.


    Most of these students were practicing with long weapons, mainly long spears.


    ¡°Teacher is here.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s arrived.¡±


    ¡°Looks like there¡¯s someone with him too,¡± more than ten students promptly took their seats.


    They turned to look at Li Yang entering the Martial Arts Room and Li Yuan following behind.


    ¡°Take a seat here.¡± Li Yang directed him to one of the empty seats.


    Li Yuan sat obediently, feeling the gazes of the group around him.


    With a thought, he activated his Divine Palace Inquiry, subsequently examining four individuals; all were Martial Artists, and there was even one Prime Warrior among them.


    ¡°Let me introduce,¡±


    ¡°The new student joining us today is freshman Li Yuan, the ¡®Big Brother¡¯ of the new students in our Sixth Institute. Starting today, he¡¯ll also be your fellow classmate,¡± President Li said slowly, ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate him. In terms of physical quality, he has reached the entry rank.¡±


    ¡°As for his skill level, he¡¯s at the intermediate rank of Fourth Stage, already placing him in the middle of the pack,¡± President Li¡¯s gaze swept over his students.


    ¡°To reach the entry rank at seventeen? That¡¯s impressive!¡±


    ¡°His name is Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about it, the entrance competition yesterday, it was Li Yuan who stood out, our Sixth Institute got first place and even broke the historical record of the competition.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that more impressive than Jin Huguo?¡±


    ¡°Is our Sixth Institute going to rise this year?¡± these senior classmates whispered among themselves, and the few who didn¡¯t know quickly became aware of Li Yuan¡¯s achievements from the day before.


    They cast friendly, even admiring glances at him.


    Li Yuan also promptly nodded in response, very courteously.


    He knew very well that these eighteen senior classmates, mostly fourth and fifth-year students, were almost destined to be Prime Warriors after a few more years of tempering their bodies post-graduation.


    Even in terms of martial skills alone, several were stronger than him.


    ¡°Alright, everyone look this way and listen to the class.¡±


    ¡°Today, I¡¯ll be talking about ¡®Stellar Spear Technique.¡¯ Listen carefully,¡± President Li deliberately looked at Li Yuan.

    Chapter 116: Chapter 110: The Pillar of Spirit (Extra for 22,000 monthly votes)


    ¡°Martial Arts Skills reached the Fourth Level.¡±


    ¡°Whether it be the spear or the sword, many weapons are merely external; the most essential aspect is the heart,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°To practice any weapon, it must first resonate with the heart.¡±


    ¡°The spear seeks an unstoppable advance, unpredictable changes, and is best suited for attack. To unleash its maximum power, our spirit must also resonate with it.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ may seem most adept at defense, yet it¡¯s the explosive offensive burst hidden within the defense that is the essence,¡± Li Yang explained in great detail.


    Time ticked away, second by second.


    In reality, this wasn¡¯t the first time Li Yang had explained the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯.


    ...


    But because of Li Yuan, he deliberately chose the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ today and started from the beginning.


    From the spear technique¡¯s concept to the breakdown of each move, and even the ultimate state of Unity of the five techniques.


    Every student listened intently.


    Not everyone practiced the spear, but as they were all training with long weapons, there were commonalities.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯,¡± Li Yuan listened, engrossed and captivated.


    Even though the secret manuals one gets access to also offer guidance from AI teachers, an AI teacher¡¯s abilities are limited.


    Li Yang¡¯s explanation was clearer.


    Half an hour later, it was time for each student to go up in turn and train with Li Yang in breaking down moves.


    Ultimately, a class lasting nearly two hours came to an end.


    ¡°Reflect on this well after you return.¡±


    ¡°At this time next week, I will explain the Stick Technique,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Class dismissed.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, interact more with your fellow students. In half an hour, come to my office,¡± Li Yang instructed before directly leaving the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    As soon as Li Yang stepped out of the classroom, the other dozen senior male and female students turned their attention to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Junior Brother Li Yuan, where are you from? How did you train to be so freakishly strong?¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Li Yuan, do you have a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Come on, junior brother, let¡¯s connect on V-Chat,¡± one of the senior sisters said directly, all of them showing great enthusiasm.


    Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed, replying to them one by one.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯m Yan He. Welcome,¡± said the only Prime Warrior, a tall, slender young man with a smile.


    Immediately, the others quieted down, evidently regarding Yan He with high esteem.


    ¡°Senior Brother Yan,¡± Li Yuan nodded in response.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Senior Brother Yan is the strongest among us, not only a Prime Warrior but also proficient in Subtle Technique for spear skills, ranking among the top ten fighters in the whole university,¡± a senior named ¡®Shi Xiao¡¯ from the third year introduced.


    ¡°Prime Warrior? Subtle Technique level?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    Even Uncle Wan had not reached the Subtle Technique level.


    As Li Yuan had anticipated, within the top echelon of students at Kunlun Martial University, having undergone years of training and accumulation, there was indeed a group of formidable fighters.


    Yan He, who presented himself with an aura of scholarly grace, said with a smile, ¡°Junior Brother Li Yuan has just arrived today and still needs to acquaint himself with the place. How about tomorrow night I host a banquet at my villa? We can all celebrate and, in doing so, welcome Junior Brother Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°A banquet?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    A banquet in the school?


    ¡°Ha-ha, Junior Brother Li Yuan, it¡¯s a tradition,¡± Senior Sister Shi Xiao explained with a smile. ¡°Whenever there¡¯s a new junior under the teacher, we hold a banquet, also as a way to build rapport.¡±


    ¡°Just provide some money, and the school¡¯s logistics department will take care of everything.¡±


    ¡°We at Kunlun Martial University are not like ordinary martial arts universities,¡± Senior Sister Shi Xiao added with a laugh. ¡°Besides, Senior Brother Yan is a Prime Warrior who often ventures into the Star Realm and earns money at an incredible rate; he¡¯s very wealthy, so don¡¯t worry about saving these few tens of thousands for him.¡±


    Li Yuan instantly understood.


    In a sense, this group of senior brothers and sisters represented another circle, the pinnacle of Kunlun Martial University¡¯s student body.


    They were not to be regarded as ordinary college students. Despite their current calm demeanor, once a fight broke out, each one¡¯s martial strength would be overwhelming.


    Especially this Senior Brother Yan, with his proficiency in Subtle Technique, his power would be terrifying once unleashed.


    Upon graduation, his status would likely be much higher than Uncle Wan¡¯s.


    After all, how old was he? He had a promising future and could even aspire to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Thank you for the invitation, Senior Brother Yan. I will definitely come tomorrow.¡±


    This group of seniors would be his future network.


    ¡°Good, we¡¯ll wait for Junior Brother Li Yuan tomorrow,¡± Yan He said with a smile. ¡°If you have any questions about training in the future, feel free to ask us.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Li Yuan wanted to make more friends.


    In the same way, none of these senior brothers and sisters were fools. A brief analysis would reveal the terrifying potential of Li Yuan.


    Fellowship among sect members was very precious.


    It was similar to the relationship between Uncle Wan and Vice President Zhao of the eighth institute; the two had a similar bond when they were younger.


    ¡°By the way,¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother Li Yuan, since you¡¯ve just arrived today, if you have time, you might want to try the ¡®Pillar of Spirit¡¯,¡± Yan He suggested.


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother.¡±


    ¡­


    After saying goodbye to the new group of senior brothers and sisters he had just met, Li Yuan arrived at Li Yang¡¯s office on time.


    The door was open.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan knocked on the doorframe, not entering directly.


    ¡°You¡¯ve arrived?¡± Li Yang smiled slightly, ¡°Come in.¡±


    Inside the office, besides Li Yang, there was also a tall, thin middle-aged man who smiled at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is your practical combat teacher, ¡®Jiang Lun¡¯,¡± Li Yang introduced, ¡°A level 27 Prime Warrior with Subtle Technique, and also a spear technique instructor.¡±


    ¡°Starting from tomorrow, every three days, he will personally train with you for two hours,¡± Li Yang said.


    ¡°A practical combat teacher?¡± Li Yuan was shocked.


    Having a level 27 Prime Warrior to spar with him?


    Was this not overly lavish?


    Such a Prime Warrior was far stronger than Uncle Wan.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t practical training usually with sparring coaches?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    According to the induction at enrollment, ¡®practical combat classes¡¯ for first-year students are usually arranged with Martial Artists ranked between level 15 and 20 as sparring partners.


    After all, there are only so many Prime Warrior instructors available, generally capable of providing broad guidance.


    ¡°What, is that strange?¡± Li Yang asked with a smile. ¡°Ordinary students, of course, would only get practical training with level ten-plus sparring partners. The very best might get a regular Prime Warrior by their fourth or fifth year.¡±


    ¡°But you¡¯re different.¡±


    ¡°An S-level special training contract, less than fifty in the whole school, each one trained personally by a real teacher,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°Jiang Lun is an excellent teacher, and you will benefit much more from sparring with him than with a regular sparring partner.¡±


    Li Yang chuckled, ¡°Now hurry and greet Teacher Jiang Lun.¡±


    ¡°Teacher Jiang,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully.


    ¡°I heard from President Li,¡± Jiang Lun said with a smile, ¡°that you were at the Intermediate Fourth Level as soon as you enrolled. I¡¯ve never taught such an impressive student before. I hope that my practical combat training can help you advance even further.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded.


    He finally felt the special nature of the S-rank special training contract, to have such a powerful Prime Warrior as a sparring partner? If he were to pay for this, how much would it cost?


    A single sparring session would cost at least two hundred thousand Blue Star Coins.


    And that was only once every three days.


    Li Yuan arranged the training time with Jiang Lun.


    ¡°Jiang Lun is a regular teacher after all, he can only train you once every three days.¡±


    ¡°Every day, I¡¯ll arrange for another ordinary Prime Warrior to spar with you for practical combat training,¡± Li Yang continued, ¡°Practical combat training stimulates the body comprehensively.¡±


    ¡°Any duration is fine.¡±


    ¡°As long as your body can withstand it.¡±


    ¡°The effect will be much better than virtual battles, so from now on, try to reduce your fighting time on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking emotionally.


    Indeed, the effects of practical combat training were much better than virtual combat.


    The key question was, how many could afford it?


    Li Yang¡¯s arrangement was equivalent to having several Prime Warriors rotating shifts to train him? It was incredibly lavish.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Follow me to the Spirit Pillar,¡± Li Yang said as he walked out of the office.


    Li Yuan hurriedly followed.


    Taking a flying vehicle, they soon arrived outside the Vermilion Bird Building.


    The Vermilion Bird Building was a public building for third, fourth, and fifth-year students, divided into three towers.


    Undoubtedly.


    Named after the large plaza outside the building, where a huge skeletal statue of a bird creature, with wings spanning more than two hundred meters, stood.


    It was simply awe-inspiring.


    ¡°A Fire System creature beyond the Flying Heaven Level?¡± Li Yuan gasped as he looked at the enormous skeleton.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°It is a Fire System avian creature beyond the Flying Heaven Level that Dongfang Ji had slain before donating its body to the university, which was eventually placed here as a memorial.¡±


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    He had read the introduction to Kunlun Martial University; just the openly displayed skeletal remains of Star Realm Creatures beyond the Flying Heaven Level amounted to three.


    As for those of the Flying Heaven Level? There were more than ten.


    These were both a warning to the junior students and a display of Kunlun¡¯s glorious accomplishments.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    They both landed and walked towards the Vermilion Bird Building, with many students along the way greeting President Li.


    President Li responded to each one.


    Shortly thereafter.


    President Li, leading Li Yuan, reached the eastern tower of the Vermilion Bird Building after passing several powerful guards.


    They headed straight underground.


    A flash of light passed through the stairs.


    Appearing before Li Yuan was a huge underground plaza, over ten meters in height and spanning several thousand square meters.


    The lights were bright.


    On the plaza, there were as many as a hundred students scattered in different areas, all with their eyes closed.


    Many of them had contorted faces, seemingly enduring immense pain.


    There were also quite a few with sweat dripping from their foreheads.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan held his breath as he watched this scene, his gaze instinctively drawn to the giant bronze pillar at the far end of the plaza.


    About five meters tall, with a diameter of roughly two meters.


    Bronze-colored!


    Not the green of ancient bronze, but a shiny gold. Its surface was engraved with countless intricate and complex secret runes, giving it a mysterious and distinguished air.


    At the same time, though a hundred meters away, Li Yuan could still feel the mysterious spiritual pressure emanating from that bronze pillar, making him slightly uncomfortable.


    ¡°Teacher, is this the Spirit Pillar described in the school¡¯s introduction?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Pillar is Kunlun Martial University¡¯s most prized treasure and also unique among the top five prestigious schools of Xia Country,¡± Li Yang said with a hint of pride in his voice, ¡°This is the most important gift Dongfang Ji gave to our Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°Thanks to the Spirit Pillar, for decades, Kunlun has been able to slightly overshadow Kyoto Martial University,¡± Li Yang said smilingly.


    Li Yuan nodded in amazement.


    The top five prestigious schools of Xia Country, with Kyoto Martial University located in the capital, held a unique position because it received the most funding. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But Kunlun Martial University was no less prestigious and it seemed even stronger!


    Why? According to many sources, it was because of the Spirit Pillar that Dongfang Ji had presented.


    ¡°Go give it a try and see how far you can go,¡± Li Yang said with a chuckle.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan said, descending the steps and walking towards the great bronze pillar in the distance.


    For the first twenty meters, it was easy, not too uncomfortable.


    But then.


    As Li Yuan approached within fifty meters of the bronze pillar, stepping over the specially marked ¡®caution line¡¯ on the ground.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    It was as if he had stepped into a special domain as an invisible spiritual pressure enveloped Li Yuan instantly.


    Bang~as if a large hammer had smashed down on Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness.


    Fortunately!


    Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was exceptionally strong.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed in shock, ¡°Such strong spiritual pressure.¡±


    ¡°Bang~¡± ¡°Bang~¡± This spiritual pressure wasn¡¯t a one-off but washed over Li Yuan¡¯s spirit like a tide, continuously assaulting and increasing the mental pressure he endured.


    ¡°For your first attempt, to be so eager and still manage to endure easily, your spiritual power is indeed very strong,¡± Li Yang appeared beside Li Yuan, smiling, ¡°Do you understand the importance of the Spirit Pillar now?¡±


    ¡°To temper and strengthen spiritual power?¡± Li Yuan spoke softly.


    ¡°Exactly!¡±


    Li Yang nodded, ¡°Just like physical training, after countless rigorous sessions, strength and speed naturally improve.¡±


    ¡°The same goes for spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Pillar is meant to exhaust martial artists¡¯ spiritual power, making the spirit continually fatigued,¡± Li Yang whispered, ¡°Then when the spirit recovers, the spiritual power naturally becomes stronger.¡±

 Chapter 117 - 111: The Amazing Treatment of S-Class (Request for Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 117: Chapter 111: The Amazing Treatment of S-Class (Request for Monthly Pass)


    Li Yuan listened to Li Yang¡¯s words and looked towards the Pillar of Spirit.


    This method of cultivating spiritual power was indeed unique.


    Previously, when Li Yuan was in Jiang City, he had never heard of such a thing.


    After all, spiritual power isn¡¯t visible or tangible like physical strength, and it¡¯s not easy to enhance.


    ¡°Spiritual power is very important.¡±


    ¡°You must have a deep understanding of this,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°The stronger the spiritual power, the better control over the body and the easier it is to cultivate skills.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan nodded lightly; the speed at which his skills improved.


    Apart from his natural comprehension, the rapid increase in his spiritual power was the most important reason, without a doubt.


    With strong spiritual power, perception, calculation, and understanding capabilities would continuously improve.


    In a way, it¡¯s like enhancing one¡¯s comprehension.


    ¡°But it¡¯s difficult to improve spiritual power,¡± Li Yang explained to Li Yuan, ¡°The first method is the cultivation of the flesh. The body nourishes the spirit; the stronger the body, the stronger the spirit it will nourish.¡±


    ¡°Like 19th Rank Martial Artists, their spiritual power is at least of the 17th or 18th Rank standard.¡±


    ¡°The second method is using treasures to nurture the spirit, from the most common Spirit Nourishing Potions to the precious Divine-Nurturing Spring, and even some Heavenly Materials Treasures like Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass, Sweet Spirit Core Crystal, and so on,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°The thing is, low-level medicinal effects are mediocre and costly, while the good Heavenly Materials Treasures are not only expensive but also scarce.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sweet Spirit Core Crystal? It sounded somewhat similar to Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal, at least they both include ¡®Marrow Crystal¡¯ in their names.


    As for Spirit Nourishing Potion? Li Yuan had heard about it from his uncle Li Changzhou.


    If one uses the basic ones, it¡¯s 30,000 Blue Star Coins a dose.


    If it¡¯s a First Rank Spirit Nourishing Potion, it¡¯s even more expensive ¨C 100,000 Blue Star Coins each, and at least three bottles per month, costing several million Blue Star Coins a year. Only long-term use for several years would significantly help one advance to a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°The third method is the Mind Method,¡± Li Yang continued, ¡°It¡¯s difficult to cultivate spiritual power because spirits are ethereal and it¡¯s difficult to exert pressure on the consciousness.¡±


    ¡°If there is an unsurpassable strong being beyond the Flying Heaven level, or some Flying Heaven Warriors who are proficient in this method and are willing to leave a trace of their spiritual imprint in the spirit, constantly oppressing it, this can have a polishing effect,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just, to do this without damaging weaker warriors and still leave the spiritual imprint is very difficult, requiring at least half a day each time.¡±


    ¡°Over time, the imprints will gradually dissipate, at most lasting two or three months.¡±


    ¡°The imprints must be consistently applied over a long period.¡±


    ¡°Unless one is a very close relative, or an extremely favored direct disciple, who could ask those top-level strong beings to go to such trouble?¡± Li Yang said, shaking his head.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    So there was such a method of spiritual cultivation in human civilization, the Mind Method?


    Too bad the requirements were too high; it was doomed not to be widely utilized.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°Legend has it, there is an even more powerful method than the Mind Method, known as the Visualization Method,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°It is said to have been brought over from some extremely strong Foreign Civilizations, but it has never been confirmed. I¡¯ve only heard of it, so I don¡¯t understand the specifics.¡±


    Li Yuan maintained a calm exterior while his heart stirred with a tumult of surprise.


    The Visualization Method?


    The ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± that he was practicing seemed to be the Visualization Method.


    However, the practice was very demanding.


    Li Yuan had tried practicing solely with the spoken mantra but found it useless.


    He had to concentrate his spirit in the ¡®Jade Platform of the Great Sun¡¯ within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace to enter the state of visualization, which killed the idea of passing it on to his family members.


    ¡°The Pillar of Spirit at my Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°You can think of it as a weakened version, a wide-ranging ¡®Mind Method.¡¯ Although its effects are not as strong as the specialized Mind Method, as long as one is within the influence of the Pillar of Spirit, they can be polished,¡± Li Yang said with some pride, ¡°Across the entire Blue Star, only Starfire University and Kunlun Martial University possess a Pillar of Spirit.¡±


    ¡°Even Starry Sky Martial University and Blackstone Martial University don¡¯t have it,¡± Li Yang said.


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Li Yuan remarked sincerely.


    Cultivation resources would eventually be exhausted.


    But treasures like the Pillar of Spirit, which could be passed down from generation to generation, no wonder it¡¯s known as the number one treasure of Kunlun Martial University, a true cornerstone of the legacy.


    ¡°Okay, you must have mostly adapted by now,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Keep moving forward and try, let¡¯s see how far you can go now.¡±


    ¡°There are nine layers in total. The pressure is strongest in the ninth layer, weakest in the first layer.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded his head.


    Bearing the strong spiritual pressure, he began to walk step by step towards the Pillar of Spirit.


    Despite the short distance of fifty meters, the area was divided into nine layers according to the warning lines on the ground.


    Most students remained in the first three layers, and even then, they were in pain.


    ¡°Da~¡±


    ¡°Da~¡± Li Yuan took steps deeper into the Pillar, walking very slowly, feeling the intangible spiritual pressure emanating from the Pillar of Spirit.


    It was as if invisible hammers were striking him, with the force growing stronger and stronger.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality might be weak, but reaching the third layer should be about right,¡± President Li thought to himself.


    As a 29th Rank Prime Warrior, he could vaguely sense the strength of Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power.


    Very soon,


    Li Yuan entered into the second layer with ease. Without waiting for Li Yang to react much, Li Yuan quickly stepped into the third layer.


    Still, his expression did not change!


    He continued to advance toward the fourth layer.


    ¡°The fourth layer?¡± Li Yang¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, ¡°Normally, one would need the spiritual power of the 19th Rank to set foot in this area.¡±


    ¡°Can Li Yuan handle it?¡±


    After just over a dozen seconds, Li Yuan, bearing the immense spiritual pressure, stepped into the fourth layer.


    Then!


    He continued towards the fifth layer. This sight shocked Li Yang, and it also drew the attention of many students cultivating their ¡®spiritual power¡¯ at the Pillar of Spirit.

 Chapter 118 - 111: The Amazing Treatment of S-Class (Request for Monthly Pass)_2

    Chapter 118: Chapter 111: The Amazing Treatment of S-Class (Request for Monthly Pass)_2


    ¡°The Fifth Layer area? Who is he?¡±


    ¡°The Fifth Layer, that¡¯s already the requirement for a Prime Warrior!¡±


    ¡°I sensed his blood and breath, seems very weak, is his spiritual power that monstrous?¡± Some returning students wondered.


    They didn¡¯t have Li Yuan¡¯s Mind Spirit Divine Palace, which made it hard for them to accurately judge someone¡¯s Life Level.


    But as martial artists enhance their body and spirit, their perception sharpens, allowing them to make out quite a bit despite the vagueness.


    ¡°Him? I saw him yesterday in the V chat group, seems like a freshman, named Li Yuan.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I remember now, he broke Senior Brother Jin¡¯s admission record.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Must be him, Dean Li Yang accompanied him here.¡± Many students started whispering among themselves.


    Even, quite a few students took out their smartwatches to start recording.


    These students were secretly astounded.


    Great skills could be explained by good comprehension, but without physical enhancement, it¡¯s usually hard for spiritual power to rise rapidly.


    Not far away.


    ¡°The Fifth Layer.¡± Li Yuan was beginning to struggle, his face betraying a trace of pain.


    Indeed!


    If it were purely the intensity of spiritual power, Li Yuan would have had difficulty even in the Fourth Layer area.


    However, like the same body, the stronger the skills, the more terrifying the strength displayed.


    Spiritual power is similar; at the same level of spiritual power, if the willpower differs in strength, the performance will be utterly different.


    It¡¯s like one person consuming various Heavenly Materials Treasures, both body and spiritual power being of the 19th Level.


    The other is one who reached the 19th Level through arduous and painstaking cultivation.


    The data looks the same for both, but if faced with horrible torture, can the duration of their endurance be the same?


    Willpower is akin to the ¡®skill¡¯ of the spiritual power.


    Li Yuan, relentlessly practicing the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± day and night, enduring repeated hellish torments, had long since tempered his will to an extremely high level.


    Naturally, he could concentrate his spiritual power to a terrifying degree.


    One step


    And another step.


    Finally, Li Yuan stood steadily at the end of the Fifth Layer area, his face and demeanor faintly twisted.


    The tremendous pain caused by the strong spiritual pressure made Li Yuan¡¯s entire head buzz.


    ¡°A freshman?¡±


    ¡°He has rushed to the Fifth Layer area and is still standing firmly, which means he still has some strength left.¡±


    ¡°This monstrous? Strong skills and such terrifying spiritual power?¡±


    ¡°The Fifth Layer area, doesn¡¯t it mean his spirit can compare with a Prime Warrior?¡± And this scene shocked the other students. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Prime Warrior level?¡± Li Yang¡¯s eyes also shone: ¡°Is it the will?¡±


    ¡°No wonder he could endure the thrice monthly Spirit Marrow Cleansing.¡±


    ¡°This willpower is truly unique.¡± Li Yang felt slightly emotional in his heart: ¡°Many high-level Prime Warriors probably don¡¯t have such willpower.¡±


    Among the Prime Warriors, those between levels 20-22 are often called junior Prime Warriors.


    Levels 23-25 are called mid-level Prime Warriors.


    Levels 26-28 are known as high-level Prime Warriors.


    A 29th Level Prime Warrior is a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    ¡­Five minutes later.


    Li Yuan, step by step, retreated from the Fifth Layer area back to the First Layer area.


    His breathing and expression returned to calm, as he came back to Li Yang¡¯s side.


    ¡°Teacher, your student is incompetent, only managed to reach the Fifth Layer area.¡± Li Yuan said seemingly earnestly: ¡°I couldn¡¯t make it to the Ninth Layer area.¡±


    Incompetent?


    The Ninth Layer area?


    Li Yang¡¯s mouth twitched, and he couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°Alright, stop flattering yourself, I only reached the Ninth Layer area after becoming a 29th Level Prime Warrior¡­ You are quite young, already very outstanding.¡±


    ¡°Teacher only reached the Ninth Layer area?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°This Pillar of Spirit, usually only warriors of the 13th Level and above dare attempt it, otherwise it¡¯s easy to sustain severe mental damage, hurting the psyche.¡± Li Yang said: ¡°But it¡¯s mainly for high-level Prime Warriors to temper their spirit.¡±


    ¡°For a Top Grade Prime Warrior like me, it has very little effect.¡±


    ¡°As for Flying Heaven Warriors, it¡¯s completely useless.¡± Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help nodding, so that¡¯s how it was.


    That¡¯s right.


    Martial Arts University, in essence, is a training base for martial artists; the Pillar of Spirit is indeed quite suitable.


    If it were greatly beneficial even to Flying Heaven Warriors, it might easily lead to trouble.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go out first.¡± Li Yang said, turning around to walk outside.


    The two walked out of the Vermilion Bird Building all the way to the empty plaza outside.


    ¡°Did you feel the flaw in the Pillar of Spirit?¡± Li Yang asked as they walked.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Exhausting the spirit too heavily?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    During the session he just had, he had felt slightly tired mentally.


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yang nodded, ¡°Just like exercising the body, if you train too hard at once, your whole body will be sore for several days.¡±


    ¡°A First Rank martial artist, if they stay for two hours at a time, needs at least three to five days to recover; during this period, their mental exhaustion will even affect their normal cultivation,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°That¡¯s why it needs to be paired with Spirit Nourishing Potions.¡±


    ¡°To speed up the recovery of spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°Even so, most students, the majority, only go to the Pillar of Spirit to cultivate once a week,¡± Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood why there were so few students at the Pillar of Spirit earlier.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°As an S-tier special training contract member, every month, the school will provide you with a Divine-Nurturing Spring,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Each one, if sold outside, is worth at least a million Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°Its efficacy is much stronger than that of a First Rank Spirit Nourishing Potion, with even fewer side effects.¡±


    ¡°Divine-Nurturing Spring?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished; he had only heard about it online.


    Adding it up, just this one cultivation resource alone was worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins a year.


    Truly extravagant!


    Without hesitating more than three seconds, Li Yuan directly said, ¡°Teacher, can this be exchanged for other cultivation resources? I don¡¯t really need it.¡±


    ¡°Such as those that assist in cultivating the body.¡±


    ¡°Not needed?¡± It was Li Yang¡¯s turn to be stunned.


    ¡°Teacher, my spiritual talent is high enough, and the Pillar of Spirit helps me very little,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Right now, what¡¯s most important for me is to enhance my physical quality.¡±


    Divine-Nurturing Spring?


    In terms of effect, it definitely can¡¯t compete with the Visualization Method in restoring the mental and physical state.


    Pure waste.


    ¡°The school has already prepared for you a High Origin Spirit Spring each month for your physical cultivation,¡±


    ¡°Its effects are equivalent to five or six Essence Pills of Origin Power, and its value is comparable to Divine-Nurturing Spring, but it puts less strain on the body,¡± Li Yang frowned, ¡°However, if you exchange it for two High Origin Spirit Springs, will you take one every half a month? I¡¯m afraid your body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡±


    He knew Li Yuan was making sense.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s demonstrated talent for spiritual power and willpower, he basically doesn¡¯t need to rely on many external substances, unless they are Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    ¡°High Origin Spirit Spring?¡± thought Li Yuan; he had seen it before in the ¡®mall¡¯ of Starfire Martial Hall.


    But he couldn¡¯t afford to buy it.


    Too expensive!


    Thinking carefully, Kunlun Martial University had indeed prepared many cultivation resources for him.


    Seeing that Li Yuan had fallen into thought.


    ¡°There is one way you could try,¡± Li Yang suddenly said.


    ¡°Please tell me, teacher,¡± Li Yuan responded without even lifting his head.


    ¡°Use the Washing Marrow Essence more often, four times, even five times,¡± Li Yang stared at Li Yuan, speaking slowly, ¡°However, you¡¯ve used the Washing Marrow Essence before and should be clear about it.¡±


    ¡°It is essentially scraping bone to heal poison and a thorough cleaning of various impurities from the body in various places.¡±


    ¡°Using it consecutively in a short period of time, the pain becomes increasingly exaggerated,¡± Li Yang sighed, ¡°Using it three times a month, for you to be able to persist at your age would be incredible.¡±


    Li Yuan had listened in astonishment; Washing Marrow Essence, four times a month?


    Five times?


    After a long silence, just when Li Yang thought Li Yuan was going to give up.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan said, ¡°Teacher, I want to try!¡±


    For some reason.


    After saying those words, Li Yuan felt a burning sensation in his lower body¡­


    ¡­


    After discussing with Li Yang for half the day, Li Yuan finally knew the truth about the ¡®Extreme Cultivation Method¡¯ that Teacher Fan Jin had given him.


    But in the end, Li Yuan had persuaded Li Yang.


    Two portions of High Origin Spirit Spring each month.


    To be trialed for a month.


    If after one month, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t keep up, they would switch to a cultivation plan of one Divine-Nurturing Spring and one High Origin Spirit Spring each month.


    ¡­


    At night, Li Yuan returned to his villa.


    Entered the virtual network, Kunlun Space.


    ¡°Following Teacher Li¡¯s advice.¡±


    ¡°Apart from the regular cultivation of the body and refinement of spiritual power, if I want to improve my skill quickly, I need to study more Second Rank Spear Techniques,¡± Li Yuan clicked on the light screen, ¡°And consider more opinions from my predecessors.¡±


    Martial Path Knowledge Net.


    This is a global network shared by all Martial Arts Universities, where every university student can log in to learn, free of charge, a certain number of Martial Arts Secret Tomes.


    Soon, Li Yuan saw the privileges he had as an S-tier student.


    ¡°Free access to study fifty Second Rank Secret Manuals, including Skill Secret Manuals, Origin Power Manuals, Spirit Usage Secret Manuals¡­¡±


    ¡°Free access to study three Third Rank Secret Manuals.¡±

    Chapter 119: Chapter 112 Cultivation Years, The Arrival of Actual Combat (Requesting Monthly Pass)


    Virtual network, Martial Path knowledge space.


    ¡°Can I choose so many secret manuals?¡± Li Yuan looked at the massive number of secret manuals available for him to learn.


    ¡°Indeed, as long as anyone attends Martial Arts University, they can get a large number of cultivation resources distributed for free by the nation.¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Outside, if one wanted to purchase a Second Rank secret manual, it would cost at least a million Blue Star Coins.


    Even in the Starfire Martial Hall, it would cost a million Cultivation Points.


    In the university? Free to learn.


    ...


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a look.¡± Li Yuan casually clicked, and saw the massive secret manuals quickly transform into books one by one.


    Their covers sparkled with light.


    The secret manuals were mainly divided into four categories: skills, Origin Power, spiritual power, and physical quality.


    But Li Yuan had already discussed it with Teacher Li Yang and had some understanding of it.


    Origin Power Manuals and Physical Quality Manuals are for Second Stage Prime Warriors to cultivate.


    As for himself now? Choosing a few Spear Technique Manuals to learn and comprehend the skills would be enough.


    Spiritual Secret Manuals? To cultivate those, one would at least need to wait until reaching spiritual power level 20.


    ¡°Skill secret manuals.¡± Li Yuan clicked, and the light screens of the surrounding secret manuals flickered again.


    What was presented were Spear Technique Manuals, Saber Technique Manuals, Sword Technique Manuals¡­ there were secret manuals for all eighteen types of weapons, all at least Second Rank secret manuals.


    ¡°These secret manuals, were they all created by generations of human Martial Artists over hundreds of years?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished, ¡°Many secret manuals have been contributed for free to the arsenal by powerful Martial Artists.¡±


    Some secret manuals were free, while others required payment.


    However, for Li Yuan, there was no difference, even if he had to pay, it was within the free allowance of Grade S.


    It was as if Kunlun Martial University was paying on his behalf.


    ¡°Although there are 50 secret manual slots, the teacher said not to bite off more than you can chew.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Right now, selecting four Spear Technique Manuals is enough.¡±


    Li Yang had already listed the Spear Technique Manuals that Li Yuan was to learn next.


    ¡°Cloud Commanding Spear Technique,¡± ¡°True Flame Spear Technique,¡± ¡°Meteor Spear Technique,¡± ¡°Golden Cleaving Spear Technique.¡± Li Yuan quickly clicked to check the numbers and names.


    There were many accumulated secret manuals, so many of the names were the same, only the numbers were different.


    Confirm purchase!


    ¡°First-year student ¡®Li Yuan,¡¯ your Second Rank secret manual free learning quota has been reduced by 4, remaining quota 46.¡± The system¡¯s voice had already sounded, ¡°The Skill Secret Manuals you just purchased have been sent to your personal space.¡±


    ¡°A reminder once again!¡±


    ¡°Secret manuals are only permitted for your personal understanding and learning, and are strictly forbidden to be disseminated privately; severe penalties will be imposed if discovered.¡± The system¡¯s voice stated.


    Li Yuan smiled and didn¡¯t take it too seriously.


    ¡°Begin cultivation.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan returned to his personal space to start learning the four newly acquired Spear Technique Manuals.


    First, learn the ¡°Cloud Commanding Spear Technique.¡±


    Li Yuan was clear about the purpose of Teacher Li Yang having him learn the Spear Technique.


    If the skill level was only Second Stage or Third Stage, pondering a Second Rank Spear Technique would be enough; at this time, specialization was most important.


    Learning too much could easily confuse the core essence of one¡¯s Spear Technique, leading to loss outweighing gain.


    If one reached the Fourth Level, especially someone like Li Yuan who had stepped into the intermediate ranks of Fourth Level, in ancient times, that would qualify them to be called a ¡°Spear Technique Master,¡± enough to start a school.


    Since he was gradually becoming clear about his own path, it was time to start ¡°integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools.¡±


    One should learn more Spear Techniques to incorporate into oneself.


    ¡°According to the teacher, to break through to the Fifth Stage, he studied over thirty Second Rank Spear Technique Manuals in the past.¡± Li Yuan secretly said, ¡°Only by absorbing the essence, was he able to achieve Unity of Heaven and Man and step into the Fifth Stage.¡±


    Unity of Heaven and Man? Tai Xuan.


    Li Yuan still didn¡¯t quite understand.


    But with successive generations of predecessors summarizing successful paths, Li Yuan just needed to follow in their footsteps step by step.


    Shortcuts? Many apparent shortcuts are actually cliffs at the end.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was starting to learn the new Spear Techniques, in the residential area for students of the Third Martial Hall.


    In one of the villas, the lights were bright


    The nearly thousand square meter Martial Arts Room below, where the ground and the four walls were all made of special materials strong enough to withstand the wanton burst of a Nineteenth Level Martial Artist without being damaged.


    At the moment, a lean young man in a black Martial Path uniform holding a combat saber was practicing his Saber Technique.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Streaks of saber light flickered, as the black-clad young man moved at lightning speed, unleashing incredibly fearsome saber light that was agile and dreamlike, stirring one¡¯s heart. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His casual bursts of speed exceed 50 meters per second, forming terrifying afterimages in this cramped space.


    When he was seriously practicing.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Ding~ Master, Long Ya is calling you.¡± The voice of the Martial Arts Room¡¯s assistant AI sounded.


    Whoosh!


    The black-clad young man stopped, and the strands of saber light that filled the entire Martial Arts Room gradually dissipated.


    He was just pondering his own self-created Saber Technique.


    ¡°Answer.¡± The black-clad young man spoke in a deep voice.


    Hum~


    Light converged, forming a video projection in front of the black-clad young man, and a woman dressed in a white Martial Path uniform appeared in the video.


    ¡°Little Ya.¡± The black-clad young man showed a smile, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin, do you know about Li Yuan¡¯s matter this afternoon?¡± The white-clad woman Long Ya had a hint of urgency on her face.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The black-clad young man paused, ¡°The one who surpassed me in yesterday¡¯s enrollment competition?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him.¡± Long Ya hurriedly replied.


    ¡°What happened this afternoon?¡± The black-clad young man displayed a smile, appearing very composed. His appearance wasn¡¯t considered handsome, but he had a square face which gave a sense of justice and security to others.


    He was Jin Huguo, the number one talent of Kunlun Martial Arts University.


    Also a Martial Arts prodigy with a considerable reputation within Xia Country.


    He had just started his junior year, and his expertise had already reached the level of Subtlety; even his Physical Quality had reached Level 19.


    ¡°This afternoon, at the Vermilion Bird Building¡¯s Pillar of Spirit.¡± The white-clad woman stared at Jin Huguo, ¡°Principal Li Yang took Li Yuan there, and on his first attempt, Li Yuan managed to reach the Fifth Layer region and stayed for several minutes, even withdrawing calmly afterward.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Oh? The Fifth Layer region? His spiritual power has reached the level of a Prime Warrior?¡± Jin Huguo¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, ¡°He¡¯s just a freshman, even if his physical quality is perfect, right now he can be at most level 10 at best.¡±


    ¡°This junior brother is indeed impressive,¡± Jin Huguo remarked with a sense of admiration, ¡°Perhaps, in the future, he might be much more formidable than me.¡±


    With his strength and insight, Jin Huguo was very clear about what Li Yuan¡¯s skills and spiritual power signified.


    The future held infinite possibilities.


    ¡°Senior brother, you really don¡¯t care?¡± The woman in white couldn¡¯t help but ask as she looked at Jin Huguo.


    ...


    ¡°Care about what? Having one more genius junior brother is a good thing,¡± Jin Huguo smiled, ¡°Instead, I¡¯m worried that him being so dazzling as a freshman, without any competitors, might cause him to lose his way and become degenerate.¡±


    ¡°This Li Yuan is so formidable, he might threaten your position in the school,¡± the woman in white finally spoke her mind outright.


    Jin Huguo looked at the woman in white, feeling a desire to laugh inside.


    ¡°Long Ya, how can you ask such a silly question?¡± Jin Huguo shook his head, ¡°Not to mention that he¡¯s a freshman and I¡¯m a junior, there¡¯s no direct competition.¡±


    ¡°Even if there was competition, so what?¡± Jin Huguo was quite indifferent, ¡°It¡¯s just competition within the school.¡±


    ¡°The number one talent at Kunlun Martial University? Does such a title sound impressive? Is it useful?¡±


    The woman in white was stunned.


    Useless?


    ¡°Ever since Starfire University and Starry Sky University were established, our Kunlun Martial University has been declining for decades,¡± Jin Huguo shook his head and said, ¡°In last year¡¯s global collegiate martial arts tournament, only I managed to break into the top 100 in the virtual battle.¡±


    ¡°Actual combat, even more so, we didn¡¯t have a single person qualifying for participation, how embarrassing was that?¡± Jin Huguo said, shaking his head.


    ¡°Senior brother, you can¡¯t be blamed for that,¡± the woman in white hurriedly said, ¡°Last year, you were just a sophomore and managed to break into the virtual battle top 100, triumphing over most senior students from the three famous schools, which was already dazzling enough.¡±


    ¡°Actual combat? In Xia Country¡¯s five prestigious universities, last year only two managed to qualify for the main global collegiate martial arts tournament, and they were both eliminated in the first round.¡±


    ¡°For the upcoming tournament, you will certainly be able to participate in actual combat, and there¡¯s totally a possibility of reaching the top 20,¡± the woman in white said with an air of admiration, ¡°That would be historic.¡±


    Jin Huguo smiled. The top 20?


    As difficult as it was, he could only say there was some hope.


    ¡°Not to mention that our human civilization needs more and stronger martial artists.¡±


    ¡°Just speaking of the present,¡± Jin Huguo smiled and said, ¡°If this Li Yuan is strong enough to stand out in the global collegiate martial arts tournament and make a name for Kunlun Martial University, I will only have respect for him.¡±


    ¡°As for some school position, it¡¯s all clouds passing by.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not like we are competing to be the principal, we will graduate sooner or later,¡± Jin Huguo laughed, ¡°From another perspective, before this, the school leaders have been placing all their bets on just me, I also feel quite a bit of pressure.¡±


    ¡°Having one more person to share the pressure, why not be happy about it?¡±


    Long Ya opened her mouth but said nothing.


    She could see that Jin Huguo genuinely didn¡¯t care.


    ¡°In a way, I find one Li Yuan not enough,¡± Jin Huguo said, shaking his head, ¡°If every class could have twenty or thirty like Li Yuan, then our Kunlun Martial University might be able to regain its glory and once again become the number one martial arts university on Blue Star.¡±


    Long Ya couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud.


    The number one martial arts university on Blue Star? That was history from fifty years ago.


    After hanging up the video call.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Jin Huguo murmured to himself, smiled, and then continued pondering over his Sword Technique.


    ¡­


    The night of July 4th.


    Including Li Yuan, nineteen elite disciples under Li Yang gathered at ¡®Yan He¡¯s villa.


    The villa was very large, more than ample for a banquet of dozens of people.


    After the welcome ceremony had ended.


    ¡°Junior brother, truly no girlfriend?¡± Shi Xiao, a senior sister holding a wine glass, asked with a teasing smile.


    ¡°Senior sister,¡±


    ¡°I just want to concentrate on the Martial Path,¡± Li Yuan smiled, having already sensed the senior sister¡¯s intentions.


    He had also inquired into the senior sister¡¯s Life Level¡ª15.8.


    Quite formidable.


    Li Yuan knew that powerful martial artists were full of energy and most believed in themselves rather than others.


    Therefore, their ideas on many aspects were completely different from ordinary people.


    Too bad, not only was Li Yuan uninterested.


    Even if he were interested, it was useless; he had just undergone a ¡®bathing¡¯ service of Life Essence Purification during the day and needed to rest well upon returning.


    ¡­


    After this welcoming banquet.


    Life, since his enrollment, had completely returned to calm, and, in a way, Li Yuan¡¯s university martial arts student career had officially begun.


    In the common knowledge class attended by students from the Sixth Institute.


    ¡°Why, when you were taking your college entrance exams, were there requirements for your cultural courses?¡± the common knowledge teacher, who was a Prime Warrior, asked in a resounding voice, ¡°Martial Artists are not just brute warriors with blind fighting power; they should be thinkers as well.¡±


    ¡°Life Evolution is not just about developing muscles or the explosive power of Origin Power; it should also be about the evolution of the brain,¡± the teacher said, his gaze sharp as he swept over every student, ¡°You must know for whom and why you fight.¡±


    ¡°Next, I will talk about the history of modern Martial Path.¡±


    ¡°In the most ancient times, our Seven Great Planets did not know of each other¡¯s existence.¡±


    ¡°Two thousand years ago, Star Bridges appeared, and including our Blue Star, the Six Great Planets were able to swiftly cross the Starry Sky through the Star Bridges and reach Feixing, only then discovering one another¡¯s existence.¡±


    ¡°Despite being located in different Starry Skies, the Seven Great Planets were all inhabited by humans¡ªa very eerie coincidence¡ªand the appearance of the Star Bridges was also shrouded in mystery, with many speculations that to this day remain an enigma.¡±


    ¡°And Feixing is the most mysterious and vast planet among the Seven Great Planets.¡±


    ¡°From that point on, the era of the Star Bridges was ushered in, and later, that year was designated as Year One of the Seven Stars era.¡±

    ¡°This expanse of starry sky is also named the ¡®Seven Star Sea¡¯,¡± the general knowledge teacher explained.


    Li Yuan, An Nong, Gu Qianghan, and the others were not listening very attentively.


    Because these were all common knowledge.


    They were mostly covered in the middle school textbooks.


    ¡°In 1420, the Star Bridge collapsed, evolving into the Six Grand Star Realms, also the original Six Grand Star Realms,¡± the teacher continued, ¡°But through the Star Realm, we can still reach Feixing.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Since then, the Cosmic Origin Power appeared, and the life on the Seven Great Planets generally became far stronger¡­ Now the dawn of the Martial Path is just beginning.¡±


    ¡°But it wasn¡¯t until 1609 that our human civilization gave birth to the first Prime Warrior,¡± the teacher said, ¡°From that time on, we were sure that Origin Power, aside from existing in the Heavenly Materials and Treasures, was also present in the cosmic starry sky and earth.¡±


    ¡°From then on, the Martial Path rose, and human civilization truly began Life Evolution.¡±


    ¡°By 1724, human civilization had produced the first Flying Heaven Warrior¡­¡±


    ¡°In 1746, the first Star Realm emerged over Tianhai Star, and a multitude of Star Realm Creatures poured out, causing over thirty million deaths. It took the combined effort of many planets to finally suppress the Star Realm entrance completely.¡±


    ¡°That was when the nightmare began.¡±


    ¡°Then came the second, the third Star Realm¡­ At that time, only the First Level Star Realm, Second Level Star Realm appeared; there were no Flying Heaven Level Star Realm creatures yet.¡±


    ¡°In the year 1766 of the Seven Stars, the first Third Level Star Realm appeared on Feixing,¡± the teacher¡¯s voice grew heavy as the corresponding information also appeared on the classroom¡¯s holographic screen.


    ¡°Fire Demon, the first Flying Heaven Level Alien Race creature to appear, ravaged tens of thousands of kilometers, slaughtering over eight million humans, before it was finally killed through the joint efforts of several Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Then the second head, the third¡­ a decade-long Star Realm war, nearly causing Feixing to fall, with more than six billion humans dead!¡± The teacher¡¯s voice revealed a hint of sorrow.


    Even though it had been hundreds of years.


    Even though this great catastrophe occurred in the distant Feixing, Blue Star had not suffered such a heavy blow.


    But for Li Yuan, An Nong, and the others, it was still heart-shakingly impactful.


    Over six billion humans dead? Nearly the entire human population on Feixing was almost wiped out.


    How many humans are there on Blue Star today? Just over a hundred billion.


    ¡°Until the year 1782.¡±


    ¡°Our human civilization gave birth to the first great existence to surpass the Flying Heaven Level, ¡®Lant¡¯,¡± the teacher¡¯s voice suddenly rose with excitement, ¡°officially launching the great counteroffensive.¡±


    The teacher recounted many secrets, which were not mentioned in middle school textbooks.


    Li Yuan, An Nong, and the others couldn¡¯t help but perk up their ears to listen attentively.


    ¡°The ten-year war, under Lant¡¯s leadership, essentially quelled the turmoil.¡±


    ¡°Thus ended the First Star Realm War.¡±


    ¡°In 1820,¡± the teacher kept on with the narration, ¡°¡±after a long four hundred years of the Martial Path¡¯s dark age, human civilization¡¯s first universal High Rank Cultivation Technique ¡®Nanming Wanshui Sutra¡¯ was finally born.¡±


    ¡°Our human civilization¡¯s warriors began to emerge like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was moved inwardly.


    A part of Martial Path history, half of human civilization¡¯s history.


    History moving forward.


    Li Yuan was quite familiar with it, more and more High Rank Cultivation Techniques were born, and the whole of human civilization became increasingly prosperous.


    In 1920, the Second ¡®Star Realm War¡¯ broke out on Feixing, with Alien Race creatures that surpassed the Flying Heaven Level appearing.


    But then!


    Dongfang Ji of Blue Star emerged dramatically, with absolute dominance and martial power, sweeping away all before him.


    No one knows how many Flying Heaven Level, and beyond Flying Heaven Level Star Realm Creatures fell at his hands.


    He also officially surpassed Lant, becoming the recognized number one powerhouse of human civilization.


    Afterwards.


    Dongfang Ji established the Starfire Martial Hall and turned the nominally existent Seven Star Alliance into a reality, truly towering above the nations of the Seven Great Planets, and also promoted a decade-long ¡®Seven Star Alliance Progress Movement¡¯.¡±


    In the year 1954 of the Seven Stars, the Martial Arts college entrance exam was officially rolled out, infiltrating all countries.


    For nearly a century, the entire human civilization entered a high-speed development phase, nuclear weapons and various types of technological weapons emerged¡­ Under the unified coordination of the Alliance, no more overly severe chaos broke out again.


    In 1962, Starfire University, Starry Sky University, Black Stone University, all simultaneously established branches on the Seven Great Planets.


    They universally recruited and trained top-tier talents.


    In 2009, virtual networks came into being, sweeping across the entire human civilization, elevating the speed at which human civilization discovered Martial Arts prodigies by a significant level once again.


    While Li Yuan was recalling and contemplating.


    ¡°Today¡¯s class ends here, you¡¯re dismissed,¡± the teacher said in a low voice.

    Inside the Heilong Building¡¯s practical Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± Li Yuan was engaged in an intensely fierce battle with his teacher Jiang Lun.


    ¡°Too weak!¡±


    ¡°You clearly have the Fourth Level Intermediate Rank Spear Technique, why don¡¯t you display it?¡±


    ¡°Are you not a prodigy? Calling yourself a prodigy with such trash skills?¡±


    ¡°Are you angry? Upset? Then hit me if you can!¡± Jiang Lun berated Li Yuan, his shouts echoing through the classroom.


    He lacked the gentleness and elegance from the first time they met.


    ¡°Mind, in harmony with every part of your body, feel every thread of force in the long spear.¡±


    ¡°Remember, every thread!¡±


    ¡°I scold you, and your mind falters? Poor mentality, you need more training!¡±


    ¡°I tell you to kneel, you kneel; I tell you to lie down, you lie down! Why? Because your Spear Technique isn¡¯t strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Because you are weak.¡±


    ¡°Weakness is the original sin. When you fight with Star Realm Creatures, there¡¯s no such thing as prodigies, only strength and weakness, and a dead prodigy is just a pile of flesh eaten up!¡±


    ¡°Get practicing,¡± Jiang Lun was like a tyrant, mercilessly tormenting Li Yuan.


    But Li Yuan had to admit that he made the quickest progress when engaging in practical training with his adversary.


    His inner self too was enduring the storms over and over again.


    ¡­


    ¡°Spirit, from the inside out.¡±


    ¡°First sense your whole body.¡±


    ¡°What is Unity of Heaven and Man? Heaven refers to nature, Man to oneself,¡± Li Yang was giving Li Yuan a private lesson, ¡°When your skill reaches Subtlety, perfectly controlling every strand of your own strength.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s about time to sense the natural forces of heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Human strength is limited, but the power of heaven and earth is infinite. Harnessing the power of heaven and earth can make the body unimaginably strong, running faster than the speed of sound, collapsing buildings with a single punch¡­ a casual burst can produce hundreds of tons of Fist Strength.¡±


    ¡°Even¡­ Flying Heaven and burrowing earth.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Martial Arts Room, the physiotherapy room.


    The body is covered in a soul-cleansing marrow wash.


    ...


    ¡°Ah!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s entire body trembled in pain, his face flushed red, and the veins in his head seemed to burst.


    Muscles spasmed as if billions of steel needles were pricking into his fingers.


    This pain penetrated deep into the marrow.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s terrifyingly formidable willpower, he already experienced pain to the extreme, with his muscle fibers twitching and distorting.


    Such pain, if inflicted on an ordinary Martial Artist, could very likely result in being tormented to death.


    Ultimately.


    Li Yuan endured it with great difficulty. A thin layer of impurities, faintly tinged with black, emerged on his skin¡¯s surface.


    ¡°This month, the fifth time, I finally made it through,¡± Li Yuan murmured. He painstakingly drank the ¡®High Origin Spirit Spring¡¯ placed beside him.


    Lying on the ground, he did not want to move at all and fell into a deep sleep.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    The effects of the Spiritual Spring activated, waves of powerful Origin Power madly surged to every part of his body¡ªsinews, muscles, internal organs, even his blood¡­ Every part of his body, like a ravenous beast, desperately consumed the Origin Power, growing stronger.


    ¡­


    Kunlun Martial Arts University provided Li Yuan with arguably the best, all-around cultivation environment.


    Li Yuan, in turn, was growing with unbelievable speed in every aspect¡ªtechnique, combat, physical quality, spiritual power¡­ all-around improvement.


    This progress astounded Li Yang, Jiang Lun, and other instructors.


    In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July.


    ¡°A rough gem!¡±


    ¡°Forged through a hundred trials, he is becoming stronger and stronger.¡± Li Yang voiced his emotion, ¡°Jiang, your tyrannical training method, he actually managed to withstand it.¡±


    ¡°Haha, through my training, his probability of death in future life-and-death battles will be much lower,¡± Jiang Lun proudly said, ¡°How to remain calm during battle? How?¡±


    ¡°Without enough experience, you can pretend to be calm with words, but your heart won¡¯t be able to settle down¡­¡± Jiang Lun was about to launch into another lengthy talk.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    ¡°If you continue, I¡¯m going to hit you,¡± Li Yang glared, and Jiang Lun immediately closed his mouth.


    ¡°You¡¯re the Dean, you¡¯re impressive, can¡¯t I just walk away if I don¡¯t want to provoke you?¡±


    ¡­


    After seeing off Jiang Lun, in the office.


    ¡°With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength?¡± Li Yang looked at various combat scenes of Li Yuan on the holographic screen, ¡°Still doing the Combat Assessment with the freshmen?¡±


    ¡°No, that¡¯s no challenge at all.¡±


    ¡°To the Fourth Base then,¡± Li Yang decided.


    Kunlun Martial Arts University¡¯s combat assessment bases numbered five in total.


    The weakest Star Realm Creatures were in the First Base, while the strongest were in the Fifth Base.


    Which base the students attended for assessments was not determined by grade, but by strength.


    The Fourth Base? Normally, it was reserved for third-year students.

    July 29th, villa number 61032.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°My Combat Assessment base is the number four base?¡± Li Yuan looked at the message on the smart ring with a bit of surprise.


    Clicking, he reviewed the detailed information.


    ¡°The number four base, Star Realm Creatures level, mostly at 13th Level, with a possibility of reaching 14th Level?¡± Li Yuan instinctively glanced at his Divine Palace panel.

 Chapter 125 - 114 Qiu Jing! The Greatly Improved Li Yuan (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 125: Chapter 114 Qiu Jing! The Greatly Improved Li Yuan (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Having reached a 20% level of Spiritual Awakening, could another influx of Origin Power be possible? Li Yuan was not sure.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got to try, at least get to the 20% limit first,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    He couldn¡¯t help but glance at the Star Realm Creature lying on the ground.


    It seemed small in stature, not even as big as a regular tiger, but its movements were swift and flexible. That kind of Explosive Power and speed were hard to come by in the animals on Blue Star.


    ¡°A beast-like Alien Race? Wonder which Star Realm it comes from,¡± Li Yuan muttered, ¡°Did the military capture it?¡± Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Entering university for a month, with two general knowledge courses each week, teachers would disclose various secrets.


    ...


    These were hard to come by on the internet.


    To avoid mass panic, many details were relatively confidential.


    Li Yuan was clear that the Star Realms on the Seven Great Planets of human civilization, combined, amounted to at least several hundred, if not a thousand.


    However,


    most Star Realms are in a ¡®silent¡¯ state, either due to entrance restrictions, or because the other side has yet to detect the existence of the Star Realm, or they do not wish to start a war just yet.


    Meaning the Alien Races behind the Star Realms and humankind were generally at peace, like the Moon Demon Star Realm and Moon Demon Civilization.


    The second type was the ¡®ordinary hostile¡¯ state, like the Fish Spirit Star Realm, where the hostility of the Alien Civilization behind it is not small, but due to many restrictions, a large-scale war cannot be initiated.


    The third type was the ¡®war¡¯ state, like the Rob Sea Star Realm and its Alien Civilization, clashing with human civilization time and again with devastating wars.


    The fourth type was the ¡®arch-enemy¡¯ state, indicating the Star Realm is of very high level, and the Alien Race behind it was capable of instigating wars that could destroy human civilization and had indeed launched such wars, only to be repelled by human civilization.


    Star Realms of the ¡®arch-enemy¡¯ status were mainly concentrated in Feixing.


    ¡°Star Realms are special zones formed where different worlds touch the Seven Star Sea, many Alien Civilizations want to invade the Seven Star Sea to destroy our Human Race,¡± Li Yuan whispered to himself, ¡°But we are also constantly counterattacking, even capturing a large number of Star Realm Creatures.¡±


    Like the ¡®Combat Assessment¡¯ organized by Martial Arts Universities each year.


    Could the massive number of Star Realm Creatures that are killed be naturally bred? Of course not!


    Most of them are captured by the strong among the Human Race to be used as practice by the younger generation of Martial Artists.


    In ordinary Martial Arts Universities, ninety-nine percent of graduates do not reach level 15 by graduation, so the mortality rate can be kept below 10%.


    But what about Kunlun Martial University?


    After undergoing numerous combat assessments, once the Physical Quality reaches level 15, one must enter the Star Realm to directly participate in the war.


    Ultimately, only then can a powerful Martial Artist who has withstood the test of life and death be cultivated with a super low mortality rate of less than 20%.


    Strong body? High skills? These do not qualify one as a Martial Artist.


    Being fearless in the face of danger, calmly facing life and death, decisive in killing, that is the kind of Martial Artist needed by human civilization, which requires ample tempering.


    To Li Yuan¡¯s knowledge,


    A hundred years ago, ordinary Martial Artists, without undergoing repeated and progressively more dangerous combat assessments, often went directly to Star Realm battlefields.


    A venture of life and death resulted in an ordinary Martial Artist mortality rate of over 30% or even 50% as the norm.


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue,¡±


    ¡°The current combat assessments can only be considered as uncomfortably bright sunshine entering a greenhouse,¡± Li Yuan gripped his Long Spear tightly and continued to venture deeper into the forest.


    Occasionally, Li Yuan would climb to the canopy of a large tree to scout the environment further away.


    However, with nothing but rolling hills and tall trees, traditional high ground was not to be found.


    The effort was of little use.


    ¡­


    Three hours later.


    Nearly 20 kilometers away from where Li Yuan landed, there was a light rain falling from the sky.


    On a gentle slope covered with dense woods and rugged stones,


    several large ferocious beasts resembling lynxes, with skins like leopard spots glistening and sleek, extremely agile, were roaring and besieging Li Yuan, who held a Long Spear.


    Their roars echoed in the woods.


    Nearby, several large trees had been knocked down and even some giant stones shattered.


    In a valley crevice nearby, there lay two large beast carcasses and five smaller ones.


    ¡°So ferocious, and they live in groups,¡± Li Yuan felt a headache coming on, ¡°Each one¡¯s Burst Speed is so fast; level 13 Star Realm Creatures are indeed fierce.¡±


    Just before, Li Yuan had inadvertently entered this group of Exotic Beasts¡¯ den and was under attack by two female beasts.


    He quickly killed them all.


    However, Li Yuan had not yet managed to withdraw when he was confronted by four more Exotic Beasts attacking him in unison.


    The lowest among them had a Life Level of 12.6.


    The biggest one, clearly the leader, had a Life Level well above 13.


    As one advances in the Martial Path, a difference of one level makes a clear gap in Physical Quality.


    ¡°Roar!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± The four Exotic Beasts took turns attacking, attempting to take down Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Compared to the Exotic Beasts¡¯ bursts, Li Yuan¡¯s movements were not particularly fast, but they were exceptionally agile, as he time after time deftly dodged their attacks.


    To withstand their attacks head-on? With the terrifying force of the Exotic Beasts¡¯ strikes, Li Yuan would be injured if he took a single hit.


    After two, he would be coughing up blood.


    What Li Yuan relied on was the absolute control over his body after achieving Unity of body and mind.


    The Dragon Movement Technique made him as agile as the wind, almost completely blending into the surroundings.


    ¡°Huff!¡± Li Yuan, who kept dodging, swung his Long Spear time and again.


    Though his body moved slower, it did not mean his weapon was slow.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear unleashed violent bursts in an instant.


    With each thrust, he would wound an Exotic Beast, causing blood to splatter.


    This was also the reason why all four Exotic Beasts were extremely wary of him.


    ¡°They are extremely intelligent with strong combat instincts, it¡¯s hard for my spear to hit a vital spot with one strike,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    He could easily spot the flaws in the Exotic Beasts¡¯ attacks and dodges, but their speed made it hard to seize the opportunity.

 Chapter 126 - 114 Qiu Jing! The Greatly Improved Li Yuan (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    Chapter 126: Chapter 114 Qiu Jing! The Greatly Improved Li Yuan (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2


    Time passed.


    After attacking several times in a row, two of the exotic beasts were badly injured and their blood flowed freely as their strength greatly diminished.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Another spear thrust out like lightning.


    This time, instead of dodging, he faced the attack head-on. With a flick of his long spear in hand, it roared out and pierced through the neck of the exotic beast like lightning.


    Whoosh~ The long spear was retracted, and blood sprayed.


    ...


    As he pulled out the spear, Li Yuan flexed his waist and bent backwards sharply, the spearhead turning one hundred and eighty degrees in a fierce thrust¡ª


    Turnabout Spear!


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The long spear thrust straight in, piercing directly through the strongest exotic beast¡¯s neck, reaching deep into its guts.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    The beast struggled with all its might, its body shivering violently in excruciating pain, sensing its life rapidly draining away as it tried to swipe at Li Yuan with its sharp claws.


    However, Li Yuan¡¯s chosen long spear was two and a half meters long, giving him an absolute advantage in distance.


    Piercing sound~ The long spear was retracted, bringing out a large amount of blood, and the exotic beast¡¯s body finally ceased moving.


    Even though he confirmed the beast¡¯s death, a gentleman wouldn¡¯t stand under a dangerous wall, so Li Yuan quickly moved out of the attack range.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Huff!¡± Seeing their leader killed by Li Yuan in a single encounter, the remaining two exotic beasts sensed danger and began to flee at an extremely fast pace.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t pursue.


    Although his strong skills meant that the special terrain of the forest limited him very little.


    But those exotic beasts were physically far superior and very fast. If they were determined to flee, it would be difficult for Li Yuan to stop them. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°[You have killed an Entry Rank creature, gaining Spiritual Nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 19.2%]¡± Divine Palace¡¯s panel flashed a series of reminders.


    ¡°Hmm? Just a bit more to go?¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    In just a few hours, he had only encountered three battles.


    But just in this last battle alone, Li Yuan had slain four adult exotic beasts and a few younger ones, bringing his Spiritual Awakening Level close to 20%.


    That¡¯s right, even killing those weaker younglings added to his Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    In the act of slaughter, Li Yuan showed no mercy.


    Show mercy? Think of his uncle, think of his deceased parents, think of the scenes he¡¯s seen in class and in films¡­ Over a decade of education had made it clear to Li Yuan.


    Being merciful to enemies is cruelty to oneself.


    ¡°Total points,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the score ranking on the positioning ring:


    Points: 56


    Base Ranking: 174


    Grade Ranking: 1


    Note: Combat Assessment 10 points requirement fulfilled.


    ¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Just now the grade ranking was at 16,¡± Li Yuan revealed a touch of a smile, ¡°and now I¡¯ve rushed to the first place?¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    In different Combat Assessment bases, the same strength alien lifeforms were worth different points.


    If it was the first base, alien lifeforms above level 12.5 would count as 200 points.


    But in the fourth base, only alien lifeforms above level 14 would account for 200 points; those below level 10 didn¡¯t count at all.


    Unfair, isn¡¯t it? Yes, it¡¯s unfair.


    But this is the purpose of Kunlun Martial University¡¯s Combat Assessment.


    If your Physical Quality is higher and your strength is stronger, then naturally, the requirements of the Combat Assessment will be higher.


    ¡°Base Ranking 174?¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned about this ranking, which indicated his position among the more than a thousand students at the fourth base.


    This ranking was already quite good, especially since Li Yuan¡¯s Physical Quality was definitely the last.


    ¡°All I need is to get first in the grade to receive the 3 million reward,¡± Li Yuan muttered.


    After briefly discerning the direction, Li Yuan moved towards where the two exotic beasts had fled.


    Luck be with me! I might still run into them.


    ¡°As long as I kill one more, my Spiritual Awakening Level will reach 20%,¡± Li Yuan thought with anticipation.


    ¡­


    A thousand kilometers away from the fourth Combat Assessment base, a massive War Fortress stood.


    On the third floor, inside a conference room.


    ¡°They¡¯re performing quite well, more mature,¡± one remarked.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time they matured,¡± another replied.


    ¡°Most of them have gone through three or four Combat Assessments. If they still can¡¯t face life and death battles calmly, they¡¯re simply too weak,¡± several of Kunlun Martial University¡¯s teachers commented while tapping their light screens, constantly switching their observation targets.


    Each Combat Assessment was a chance for students to grow.


    ¡°How is it going?¡± one asked.


    ¡°This kid can fully adapt even in the fourth base,¡± President Li said in a low voice, laughing as he pointed at the advancing Li Yuan on the screen.


    There were numerous high-altitude drones on patrol.


    Together with the positioning bracelets worn by each person, and the many surveillance cameras spread throughout the Combat Assessment base, they ensured every student was monitored, accurately recording their scores.


    ¡°Indeed very calm,¡± remarked one.


    ¡°If he can hold his ground in Jiang Lun¡¯s combat training sessions, earning Jiang Lun¡¯s approval, his combat skills must be incredibly strong,¡± Dean Xu said, her usually taut face relaxing a bit, ¡°He is calm in battle, his moves are clean and crisp, without any hesitation.¡±


    ¡°His ability to track movements and understand terrain is also quite impressive.¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t look like an eighteen-year-old student at all. Has he only been through one Combat Assessment?¡± Dean Xu spoke softly.


    ¡°Yes, just once,¡± Li Yang responded with a smile, ¡°But I also have to remind you, he¡¯s not even 18 yet.¡±


    ¡°Also,¡± he continued.


    ¡°Don¡¯t treat him like a child; his Willpower is astoundingly strong,¡± Li Yang said with a sense of admiration, ¡°One month, five Spiritual Washings, would a normal Prime Warrior even withstand that?¡±


    Dean Xu was startled, seeming a bit surprised, ¡°One month, five Spiritual Washings? Really?¡±


    She knew the pain of the Spiritual Washing.


    In fact, many Martial Path prodigies had attempted it, but most couldn¡¯t endure the agony and, due to the high cost and relatively low benefit, eventually gave up.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. I also found it hard to believe when I first heard,¡± Li Yang said with emotion, watching the young man on the screen, ¡°But he indeed did it.¡±


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t been through much, and yet he has such terrifying Willpower. It¡¯s a bit eerie.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Perhaps, this what it means to be a genius,¡±


    ¡­


    At four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, in a dense forest.


    Boom! Boom!


    Explosion-like sounds.


    ...


    ¡°Quick! Quick! Quick!¡± Li Yuan dashed through the woods like lightning, cursing himself for not having an extra pair of legs as he sprinted through the chaos of rocks and trees.


    His speed had burst beyond 25 meters per second.


    If it were an ordinary person, their speed would be halved in such complex terrain, but it barely affected Li Yuan.


    That was why he had been able to escape so far.


    ¡°Woo woo woo!¡±


    ¡°Ha!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± Behind Li Yuan,


    over a dozen humanoid aliens were crazily chasing after him, each of them moving at an incredible speed.


    They were all over three meters tall with skin like hardened limestone, appearing like great rock humanoids at first glance.


    Some wielded sharp stone weapons and wooden spears.


    Others constantly picked up large rocks and, with thousands of kilograms of force erupting, hurled them like cannonballs towards Li Yuan, who was fleeing at the front.


    ¡°Rock Desert Tribe! The humanoids here are the legendary stone people,¡± Li Yuan thought angrily, but he was helpless to do anything about it.


    In Xia Country, especially in Jiangbei Province, the Fish Spirit Clan is well-known.


    Similarly, so is the Rock Desert Tribe. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This is an extremely brutal alien tribe with rock-like skin, tough and durable bodies, towering in height, accustomed to living in desert and Gobi environments¡­ They had caused tremendous damage to Xia Country in the past and were nicknamed the Stone People.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t expect that the humanoid aliens in the combat assessment at the Fourth Base would turn out to be the Rock Desert Tribe.


    ¡°Pom-pom-pom¡ª¡± Li Yuan frantically dodged the bombardment of those large stones.


    The boulders smashed into trees, creating huge gaps or even breaking them.


    Li Yuan made inquiries at the first chance he got.


    This group of Rock Desert Tribe members, most of them surpassed Level 13, the weakest being at 12.6.


    Combined with their natural intelligence and proficiency with weapons,


    if he were to fight head-on, even if he could kill a few, Li Yuan would surely die; he would at least need to call for backup.


    So, Li Yuan¡¯s first choice was¡ªto run!


    What Li Yuan wasn¡¯t expecting, however, was that this group of Rock Desert Tribe would pursue him so relentlessly.


    Luckily!


    The forest wasn¡¯t their natural habitat, and the complex terrain greatly limited their speed, hindering them from utilizing their physical advantages.


    But as time passed, the distance between them was closing.


    ¡°How much longer will they chase after running for several kilometers?¡± Li Yuan cursed in his heart, while also quickly scanning his surroundings, multitasking.


    He wanted to find a suitable battlefield.


    Preferably, it would limit the enemy¡¯s long-range attacks and their numerical advantage.


    Finding such a place wasn¡¯t easy.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Junior Brother, don¡¯t panic,¡± a crisp voice whistled, exploding from a nearby cliff.


    Boom!


    A nimble figure shot into the sky, with legs forcefully propelling her upward, charging like a cannonball towards the Rock Desert Tribe members rushing down¡ªit was a woman.


    In her hands were two short battle axes, resembling two small shields.


    ¡°Sister Qiu? Be careful!¡± Li Yuan instantly recognized her.


    It was the ¡®sophomore sister¡¯ from President Li¡¯s class¡ªQiu Jing!


    She was one of only two sophomore students at the Sixth Institute who had reached the Fourth Level of skill.


    Her Physical Quality was at 12.9.


    In the sophomore ranks of the eight major institutes, Qiu Jing¡¯s skill and combat ability were both in the top twenty.


    Because of their close age, their strengths were more comparable.


    Therefore, Li Yuan and Qiu Jing were quite familiar with each other and had a good relationship.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    With a battle axe in hand and movements as fast as lightning, Qiu Jing swiftly dodged several times before directly confronting the strongest one among them, a Rock Desert Tribe member with a Physical Quality of 13.6.


    The two sides clashed.


    ¡°Rumble¡ª¡± The terrifying battle ensued with splashes of blood; several weaker members of the Rock Desert Tribe were decapitated, their severed limbs scattering.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    A few powerful members of the Rock Desert Tribe roared angrily, preparing to retreat, realizing the terrifying combat prowess of the small-framed alien before them.


    Their skills were too sophisticated; they couldn¡¯t lay a hand on her.


    ¡°Trying to leave?¡± Qiu Jing¡¯s voice was cold, as a Fourth Level master, she unified her Vigor in an explosive manner.


    Slaughtering these Rock Desert Tribe members, who were close in Life Level, was a massacre.


    ¡°Rumble¡ª¡± After more than a dozen clashes, accompanied by a dazzling axe glow, the strongest Rock Desert Tribe member¡¯s chest was instantly sliced open by the sharp battle axe.


    Its head was then chopped off! It fell to the ground!


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Whimper! Boom!¡± The remaining Rock Desert Tribe members finally scattered frantically.


    Qiu Jing quickly pursued them.


    ¡°So strong,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but feel impressed as he watched the scene.


    In terms of skills alone, he was far superior to Qiu Jing.


    But the gap in Physical Quality was too great; against this group of Rock Desert Tribe members, he could only flee.


    Even with Fourth Level skills, the limitations to the moves and the bonus they offer ultimately had their limits.


    Just half a minute later,


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Jing, with her two bloodstained short axes, landed next to Li Yuan. Her body was smeared with blood, appearing like a War Goddess.


    ¡°Junior Brother, aren¡¯t you going to thank me?¡± Qiu Jing looked at Li Yuan, smiling, without a trace of the ferocity from the battle.


    ¡°Thank Sister,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Sister is really incredible, killing those Rock Desert Tribe members like slicing through vegetables.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡±


    ¡°They are just captured and placed here without even proper weapons,¡± Qiu Jing shook her head. ¡°If they were real Rock Desert Tribe warriors, armed with Metal weapons, they would be much harder to kill.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement; indeed.


    Many alien races of the Star Realm, especially humanoids, were as civilized as the Human Race, with a highly developed culture and a plethora of weapons for aid.


    Physical Quality may seem the same, but the strength could be completely different.


    ¡°How did you manage to run into the heart of the Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s activity area?¡± Qiu Jing asked curiously.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Really?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    He had no idea.


    ¡°From here, if you head east for about 15 kilometers, you¡¯ll reach a large tribe of the Rock Desert Tribe within the combat assessment area,¡± Qiu Jing said with a smile, ¡°I estimate there are over two hundred warriors, and their leader is above Level 14.¡±


    ¡°Level 14?¡± Li Yuan felt a wave of relief.


    Level 14, with Fist Strength exceeding 8,000 kilograms, is several times stronger than Level 13.


    ...


    Luckily, he had not encountered them.


    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s normal that you don¡¯t know; I only found out after some inquiry and it was not easy to shake off that leader¡¯s pursuit,¡± Qiu Jing said with a sigh, ¡°You are also impressive, just into the first year, and you were able to hold on at the fourth base.¡±


    ¡°Without Senior Sister¡¯s rescue, I probably would¡¯ve been eliminated already,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Without me, another kilometer ahead there is a cliff. With your strength, you also had a chance to escape,¡± Qiu Jing said with a smile, ¡°Alright, take a detour on your own, stay away from the Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s territory, and be careful afterward.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk more when we get back to school.¡±


    ¡°OK, Sister, you also take care,¡± Li Yuan nodded, not expecting her to accompany him anyway.


    The gap in their strengths was evident.


    Moreover, this was a combat assessment; both parties¡¯ goals were to gain more points, so separating was the best decision.


    He watched as Qiu Jing departed into the distance.


    ¡°Qiu Jing Senior Sister, ranked eighth at the fourth base?¡± Li Yuan glanced at the ranking on his locator bracelet.


    ¡­


    Heeding Senior Sister Qiu Jing¡¯s advice, Li Yuan changed directions, avoiding the Rock Desert Tribe¡¯s territory.


    An hour later, the sky gradually darkened.


    Six kilometers away, on a small desolate plain.


    ¡°Pff!¡±


    An exotic beast resembling a lynx was pierced through the throat by Li Yuan, and its huge body crashed heavily onto the barren ground.


    ¡°[You have killed an Entry Rank creature, gained Spiritual Nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 20%]


    ¡°[You have reached the limit of Spiritual Awakening, temporarily unable to receive Spiritual Nature nourishment, once your spiritual power reaches Level 20, you can break the limit]


    ¡°[Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 20%, second Origin Power assimilation initiated]¡± The Divine Palace panel flashed with three notifications in an instant.


    Li Yuan immediately noticed them.


    ¡°Sure enough, at 10% there was one instance of Origin Power infusion, and now at 20%, there is another,¡± thoughts flashed rapidly through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°So, spiritual power must reach Level 20 to break through the limit of Spiritual Awakening?¡±


    Before Li Yuan could contemplate further,


    he suddenly widened his eyes: ¡°Wait! This is different from last time!¡±


    Because,


    Whirr~ merely three seconds after the Divine Palace¡¯s reminder, Li Yuan felt a series of slight headaches, as if some mysterious force was infiltrating from his head into his limbs and throughout his body.


    The sensation was very strange.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan could feel a mysterious force gradually seeping into his limbs and body from the outside, and his pores seemed to feel a bit hot.


    It was Origin Power.


    ¡°The first Origin Power infusion required my guidance, but this second infusion has started on its own?¡± Li Yuan quickly realized, ¡°This is bad.¡±


    ¡°I am definitely under the school¡¯s surveillance right now.¡±


    Without any hesitation,


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan grabbed his long spear, his figure dashed away like lightning, swiftly lunging toward the distance.


    A few hundred meters away, S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    there was a small cave beneath a cliff, the very place Li Yuan had chosen for his overnight stay.


    In barely twenty seconds, Li Yuan felt his body getting hotter and hotter.


    Boom! He threw the long spear, which flew out like an arrow, piercing deeply into the cave wall.


    Phew!


    He drew his combat saber, leapt into the air, and several flashes of the blade swept past. The trees next to the cave were instantly chopped into sections and fell.


    Then, Li Yuan quickly dragged these trees to the cave, erected them across each other, and barely sealed the cave entrance.


    Li Yuan, holding the combat saber, then rushed into the cave and placed a tree segment down.


    It practically sealed the already narrow entrance.


    ¡°Even if an Alien Race comes, I still have some preparations, at least giving me two seconds more to respond,¡± Li Yuan clenched his teeth and sat down on the ground, ¡°Moreover, the teachers can¡¯t directly observe me now.¡±


    The Origin Power infusion had barely started a minute ago.


    He took a deep breath.


    ¡°Origin Power infusion.¡± Li Yuan calmed down completely, and his powerful spiritual power began guiding the surging Origin Power that was entering his body.


    This time, the Origin Power infusion was more abundant and purer than the last.


    ¡°Evolve!¡±


    ¡°My muscles and bones,¡± Li Yuan could clearly feel that every part of his body was voraciously absorbing the Origin Power.


    Muscles became stronger, skin more resilient, bones more solid, and the vitality of his internal organs increased¡­


    [Your Life Level has increased from 11.3 to 11.4]


    As night fell completely, the surroundings were utterly quiet, and time passed.


    [¡­from 11.8 to 11.9] accompanied by notifications from the Divine Palace panel.


    Li Yuan¡¯s body began yet another grand transformation.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 129 - 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 129: Chapter 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    Seated with legs crossed in the depths of the cave, the narrowest entrance was sealed with sections of cut wood.


    ¡°There are no other lives in the cave, no danger.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was immensely strong, combined with his unique ¡®Divine Palace Inquiry.¡¯


    If there had been any life in the cave, he would have detected it long ago.


    This was also why he could easily discover the crocodile exotic beast at the very beginning.


    ¡°The body¡¯s transformation is really fast.¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes and could clearly feel the constant transformation of his physical quality.


    The evolution was so rapid that Li Yuan¡¯s body was slightly feverish and sore.


    ...


    The drastic growth of physical quality was essentially a repeated tearing and reconstitution of the body¡¯s muscles, bones, and flesh.


    But with Li Yuan¡¯s strong will, enduring such pain was relatively easy.


    ¡°In the first three hours, I improved by about 0.5 levels.¡±


    ¡°In this one hour, about 0.1 level? It seems much slower from the perspective of Life Level, but in terms of body strength, there¡¯s even a faintly accelerating trend,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    The difference in Life Level Becomes more astonishing the higher one goes.


    For example, from level 10.0 to 11.0, the standard Fist Strength difference is 500 kilograms.


    But from level 18.0 to 19.0, the standard Fist Strength difference is 14,000 kilograms.


    This is the reason many martial artists improve to level 15 or 16 during the few short years in university, but struggle to reach level 19 even after twenty years of post-graduate cultivation.


    It was also the reason why Qiu Jing, despite seemingly lesser skills than Li Yuan, could slaughter a group of Rock Desert Tribe warriors because his physical quality was 1.6 levels higher.


    The Fist Strength of level 12.9 was more than double that of 11.3.


    The difference in skills wasn¡¯t huge, and Qiu Jing¡¯s overall strength was more than five times higher than Li Yuan¡¯s, naturally enabling him to massacre at will.


    After entering the Entry Rank, every 1-2 level increase in Life Level doubles the body¡¯s standard Fist Strength.


    ¡°Spiritual.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was much stronger than before; he left part of his consciousness to sense external dangers while a fraction of it had already entered the spiritual world.


    He went directly inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    As Li Yuan had expected, inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the previously vanished white jade staircase reappeared.


    Wisps of golden mist were continuously falling from the upper space reached by the staircase, merging into the ground of the Divine Palace. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Is this golden mist, which I sense emanating from my brain, guiding Origin Power into my body, the mysterious power that I¡¯m feeling? What exactly is it?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Suddenly.


    In the staircase, a small amount of the golden mist that was originally just merging into the ground separated and merged directly into Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    As with the almost identical experience before, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness felt like it was struck by thunder, becoming groggy again, and the entire spiritual world turned into an endless Dark Space.


    ¡°The Dark Space again?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was much stronger than before, barely maintaining his clarity, and he had a clear perception of the changes in the spiritual world.


    Hum~


    He perceived countless stars suddenly appearing out of nowhere, beginning to nourish his conscious mind.


    [Your soul has been nourished, spiritual power has increased from level 18.4 to 18.5] Unbeknownst to him, a Divine Palace prompt appeared.


    ¡°Just as I suspected.¡±


    ¡°This golden mist, it can nourish and improve my spiritual power as well as lead Origin Power into my body.¡± Li Yuan realized, silently experiencing the dual enhancement of physical quality and spiritual power.


    At the same time.


    In the Dark Space where his consciousness resided.


    ¡°Seeking dust, finding the minuscule, merging to become one, the essence of the sun and the moon forges the Spiritual Foundation¡­¡± That grand and vast voice once again echoed in the Dark Space.


    Familiar voices, familiar text.


    ¡°Spiritual Foundation.¡± Li Yuan was moved.


    During the last Origin Power infusion, his consciousness fell into a deep sleep, with only faint awareness.


    But this time, he could clearly feel the mysterious fluctuations contained within this ancient and vast voice.


    It was extremely profound, seemingly representing some ultimate truth.


    ¡°Stars!¡±


    Gradually, as he listened to this vast voice, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness faintly saw, in the endless darkness, what seemed to be dark stars beginning to emit light.


    They became brighter and more dazzling.


    The number of illuminated stars increased; from the initial dozens, they slowly became hundreds, thousands¡­ A large number of illuminated stars formed all kinds of strange trajectories, twinkling in the Dark Space¡­


    ¡°Stars like threads.¡± Li Yuan had a realization and subconsciously tried to memorize these strange stellar trajectories as much as possible.


    This action was very draining, making Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness even more groggy, as though he was about to sink into a deep sleep.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was hiding in the cave with his body quality and spiritual power constantly improving.


    In the War Fortress of the Star Realm he was in, within a three-layered meeting room.


    ¡°What is Li Yuan up to? He¡¯s been hiding in the cave for over six hours now.¡± President Li was somewhat perplexed.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that your problem?¡± Dean Xu shook his head


    ¡°My problem?¡± President Li was taken aback.


    ¡°Seriously, do you expect him to fight and slaughter all night?¡± Dean Xu shook his head and said, ¡°His physical quality is the lowest among the students at the fourth base. Night visibility is hindered. If he were to go out and forcefully hunt and battle, it would be even more dangerous.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s better to hide, rest well, and slaughter during the day.¡±


    ¡°This shows he has self-awareness and isn¡¯t reckless.¡± Dean Xu continued, ¡°I have high hopes for him.¡±


    ¡°Alright then.¡± President Li nodded, also feeling that Dean Xu had a point.


    However.


    He clearly remembered that when Li Yuan hid in the cave, there was still over an hour before the sky completely darkened.


    ¡°Could it be, I really made an error in judgment, forcing his growth?¡± For a moment, President Li doubted himself.


    ¡­


    Sunset and sunrise.


    The time came to ten o¡¯clock in the morning the next day.


    The other participating students from the fourth base had all rested well and emerged from their respective encampments, beginning a new day of real combat and slaughter.

 Chapter 130 - 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

    Chapter 130: Chapter 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2


    Li Yuan, hidden in the cave, remained secluded, without a bit of movement.


    The monitoring drone kept watch outside the cave but could not see inside.


    ¡°Could it be, has something happened to Li Yuan?¡± President Li¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of concern.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be.¡±


    ¡°The drone has been monitoring; no alien race has appeared.¡± Dean Xu shook his head and said, ¡°The locator ring shows he is still in the cave, and his life signal is stable¡­ there are no problems.¡±


    ¡°Then why hasn¡¯t he come out yet?¡± President Li became somewhat anxious, ¡°The class points have been thoroughly outpaced by Yang Hong and Wu Luo.¡±


    ...


    As vice presidents, they could check the points ranking of every grade and every base in the school at any time.


    For example, the freshmen.


    Even though they were in different combat assessment areas like Base One, Base Two, and Base Four, they would have a common class points ranking.


    High class ranking meant rewards.


    High base ranking also meant rewards.


    ¡°It¡¯s his choice.¡±


    ¡°As long as he is not in life-threatening danger, we cannot intervene with the combat assessment.¡± Dean Xu shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait patiently.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± President Li could only wait.


    Time reached noon, twelve o¡¯clock.


    Li Yuan still had not emerged from the cave, and the combat assessment time had already passed 24 hours.


    ¡°The combat assessment for Base One and Base Two has ended.¡± Dean Xu suddenly spoke up.


    The combat assessment for Base One and Base Two lasted only one day.


    Base Three and Four lasted two days.


    Base Five would last three days.


    ¡°Understood.¡± President Li spoke in a subdued voice, his gaze fixed on the screen.


    At this moment, he felt the impulse to rush into the combat assessment base and drag Li Yuan out of the cave.


    He was keen to ask Li Yuan, what exactly did he plan on doing?


    ¡­


    The Star Realm of Base Two.


    ¡°Wu Luo.¡± Yang Hong, carrying a battle axe, stepped off the aircraft and immediately saw Wu Luo, covered in blood, walking over from a distance.


    Yang Hong approached him proactively.


    ¡°This time, it¡¯s still me who has won.¡±


    Yang Hong grinned with a slight smile, ¡°In this combat assessment, among the freshmen, I am number one in points.¡±


    After 24 hours of fighting and slaughtering, he didn¡¯t rest even at night, madly hunting for prey.


    In the end, scoring 196 points, he not only ranked first in the grade.


    But also broke into the top thirty among the over one thousand students of Base Two.


    Keep in mind, Base Two primarily consisted of sophomores.


    This shows how hard-fighting Yang Hong was.


    Wu Luo scored only 171 points, second among the freshmen, but the gap in points was clear.


    ¡°First?¡± Wu Luo scoffed, ¡°You¡¯re relentless; I¡¯m not as crazy as you, but do you really think you¡¯ve secured the win?¡±


    Yang Hong was taken aback for a moment.


    ¡°Idiot.¡± Wu Luo scoffed coldly, ¡°Li Yuan is in Base Four, and the Star Realm Creatures there are much tougher. Killing creatures of the same score as us in Base Two is much more difficult¡­ but they have one more day of assessment time.¡±


    ¡°He still has 24 hours.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the idiot.¡± Yang Hong said with disdain, ¡°I¡¯ve been monitoring Li Yuan¡¯s score; it surged sharply at the start yesterday.¡±


    ¡°But from five o¡¯clock yesterday afternoon until now, his score hasn¡¯t increased at all.¡±


    ¡°Although he has not withdrawn from the combat assessment, I guess he is injured.¡±


    ¡°After all, Base Four is basically full of juniors and even seniors; he is far behind in physical quality, very dangerous.¡±


    ¡°Besides.¡±


    ¡°The longer the delay, the fewer Star Realm creatures there are¡­even if he isn¡¯t injured, trying to catch up by more than a hundred points in one day? It¡¯s almost impossible.¡± Yang Hong was quite confident.


    ¡°Wait and see.¡± Wu Luo laughed coldly, although he had actually acknowledged Yang Hong¡¯s judgment in his heart.


    However!


    Wu Luo admired Li Yuan because Li Yuan was indeed too strong, far surpassing him in strength.


    But as for Yang Hong?


    Wu Luo was not convinced.


    The two had always been in covert contention, competing for the title of the ¡®second man¡¯ of the freshmen.


    ¡­


    If Yang Hong and Wu Luo could still view Li Yuan¡¯s score calmly,


    Then at the Star Realm of Base One, when the freshmen gathered in the square, it was filled with discussions.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how come he only has a little over fifty points?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been a whole day.¡±


    ¡°Yang Hong is at Base Two, he¡¯s slaughtered his way to almost 200 points, raising the collective points of the Sixth Institute by a significant margin.¡±


    ¡°Could it be, for this combat assessment, will the collective total score of the Sixth Institute take first place?¡± The freshmen of each institute discussed among themselves, all focused on the collective scores.


    Except for Li Yuan, all the freshmen¡¯s scores had already been finalized.


    The freshmen institute rankings:


    First place: Sixth Institute (4031 points)


    Second place: Fifth Institute (3951 points)


    Third place: Sixth Institute (3931 points) Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Fourth place: Seventh Institute (3874 points)


    ¡­


    The gap in total scores between each institute was not large.


    Kunlun Martial University had already arranged the difficulty levels accordingly.


    Under normal circumstances, more than one-third of students would withdraw midway through the assessment.


    Even if they could complete the combat assessment, most would score only around twenty to thirty points.


    In the rest area of Base One, the gathering place of the freshmen of the Sixth Institute.


    ¡°Our Sixth Institute¡¯s total score is only 100 points behind the Third Institute.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s much smaller than the gap during the entrance competition.¡±


    ¡°Now we¡¯re in third place, not bad.¡±


    ¡°Why does our senior brother only have a little over 50 points? Wasn¡¯t it said yesterday that he could get 200 points? Yang Hong at Base Two got 196 points.¡±


    ¡°Idiot? That¡¯s Base Four, the participants are all juniors and seniors, do you think scoring 200 points is so easy? If it were you, surviving for half an hour would already be quite an achievement.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really unfair! If the senior brother was also in Base Two, he might have scored 300 or even 400 points; how could it have been Yang Hong¡¯s turn to act so arrogantly.¡± The freshmen of the Sixth Institute discussed among themselves.


    ¡°That¡¯s the rule of the school.¡±


    ¡°On the first day, the senior brother only got a little over 50 points; can he reach 190 points on the second day?¡±


    ¡°Difficult, as the combat assessment proceeds, there are fewer and fewer Star Realm creatures; scoring points is harder.¡± No one truly blamed Li Yuan for scoring low.


    Most people were well aware of the difficulty in Base Four.

 Chapter 131 - 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

    Chapter 131: Chapter 115: Rapid Progress! Slaughter! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3


    However, many people were inevitably disappointed.


    ¡°Trust in our senior brother.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s still a whole day left, maybe he can create a miracle.¡± There were also quite a few students firmly supporting Li Yuan, believing he could create a miracle, mainly freshmen from Jiang City.


    Before long.


    The freshmen from the first and second bases began their journey back to school.


    But many freshmen were paying attention to Li Yuan¡¯s final combat score.


    ...


    The group total score pertained to every individual¡¯s personal interests.


    ¡­


    July 31st, 1 PM.


    Inside the Combat Assessment Area of the fourth base, there were still 23 hours left until the assessment ended.


    In the dim cave, a faint light shone through the cracks.


    ¡°Hmm? The infusion of Origin Power has ended?¡± Li Yuan suddenly came to full alertness.


    ¡°Whew!¡±


    Li Yuan subconsciously looked down at his fists and gently clenched them, feeling an endless surge of power within his body.


    Ready to burst forth at any moment.


    This power was much stronger than before.


    Looking up again, his vision and hearing had significantly improved.


    ¡°My Life Level¡­¡± Li Yuan glanced over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª-


    [Life Level: 12.7 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 4460 kilograms


    Speed: 34.2 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 20.0


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 20% (current limit 25%)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Level 53%), Movement Technique (Fourth Level 42%), Fist Technique (Fourth Level 55%)


    [Note: The upper limit of Spiritual Awakening has increased to 25%. When the Life Level reaches 14 and the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 25%, Spiritual Guidance will be received.]


    ¡ª-


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan was shocked, filled with excitement and joy.


    It was truly unbelievable.


    In just one night and half a day, his Physical Quality and spiritual power had increased so much?


    It was four to five times more than the first time he infused Origin Power into his body.


    It seemed like the Life Level had only increased by 1.4 levels.


    But the specifics of the Physical Quality change had to be considered; his Fist Strength skyrocketed from 2250 kilograms to 4460 kilograms, nearly doubling.


    His Burst Speed had also significantly increased.


    Such an increase was absolutely terrifying, and many students from Kunlun Martial University wouldn¡¯t achieve such a thing in more than half a year of cultivation.


    ¡°The improvement in Physical Quality is one aspect, but the key is spiritual power.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on one particular item.


    Spiritual Power, level 20.


    This was truly the standard of a Prime Warrior.


    Unbeknownst to many, Li Yuan had already completed two of the three major checkpoints that countless Martial Artists found insurmountable.


    Only the final one concerning Physical Quality remained.


    ¡°Breaking through the level 20 barrier in spiritual power also brought my Spiritual Awakening limit directly up to 25%,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart quivered: ¡°Spiritual Guidance?¡±


    It had been over two years.


    Since the awakening of Mind Spirit Divine Palace in his senior year of high school until he entered college, for more than two years he had been researching higher Spiritual Nature and Spiritual Guidance on the Divine Palace panel.


    All without result.


    Now, at last, Li Yuan saw hope.


    ¡°Do I need to reach a Physical Quality of 14 to unlock Spiritual Guidance?¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    His Life Level was already at 12.7, and although there was a gap to level 14, it wasn¡¯t far off.


    ¡°No matter,¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s slowly improve the Physical Quality and first increase the Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%, and meet one of the requirements.¡± Li Yuan immediately made up his mind.


    Isn¡¯t it just slaughtering some Star Realm Creatures?


    With 23 hours left, killing four or five would be enough.


    ¡°Whew!¡±


    Li Yuan stood up and stretched out all his muscles and bones.


    Then he threw a punch suddenly, with the shadow of his fist moving significantly faster than before.


    ¡°With my current Physical Quality, combined with Spear Technique skills, I will be stronger than¡­ Sister Qiu Jing,¡± Li Yuan assessed.


    Li Yuan had sparred with Sister Qiu Jing on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Based on his judgment, her Axe Technique skill level was probably around Fourth Level 20%.


    Where is Li Yuan?


    His Spear Technique level is at 53% of the Fourth Level, already very close to high rank, a huge improvement.


    ¡°The only concern,¡±


    ¡°is the monitoring during the Combat Assessment.¡±


    ¡°Although the majority of people are unclear about my strength, both President Li and Teacher Jiang are well aware,¡± numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°To double my physical quality overnight?¡±


    It¡¯s too illogical.


    Too abrupt, most likely to make people think of ¡®Heavenly Materials Treasures¡¯ instantly.


    ¡°No need to unleash all my strength, let¡¯s first get the Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%,¡± Li Yuan reached out and gripped the Long Spear embedded in the stone wall.


    He wrenched it out!


    A top-grade First Rank Long Spear, incredibly tough, smooth as new.


    Then he took out some food and water from his backpack and consumed it all.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, dashed and broke through the trees covering the entrance to the outside.


    The sun was brilliant.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan has come out,¡± Dean Xu was the first to notice and said with a smile, ¡°Looks spirited, seems like he had a good rest.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll see,¡± President Li frowned.


    He had already decided, to give Li Yuan a good scolding after the Combat Assessment was over.


    He¡¯s taking it too lightly.


    ¡°Old Li, don¡¯t take it too hard, a bit of setback doesn¡¯t matter for a youngster like Li Yuan,¡± a chubby old man said cheerfully beside him.


    This old man, was one of the three Vice Presidents of the Eighth Institute, ¡®Qin Huo¡¯.


    ¡°Qin, piss off,¡± Li Yang glanced at the other, ¡°I¡¯m very annoyed right now, don¡¯t provoke me, or why not go back and practice?¡±


    ¡°Old Xu, aren¡¯t you going to manage him?¡± the chubby old man glared.


    ¡°Enough, you two stop bickering,¡± Dean Xu felt a headache coming, his gaze fixed on the light screen.


    Watching Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    An hour later, around four kilometers away from Li Yuan¡¯s resting cave.


    Two huge Exotic Beast corpses lay in a pool of blood.


    ¡°12.9 level Star Realm Creatures, and it only increased my Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.1%?¡± Li Yuan looked at the reminder on the Divine Palace panel feeling helpless.


    Previously, killing one could still increase it by 1.2%.


    Now, after killing two, it¡¯s only increased to 20.2%, too slow. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Could it be that a Spiritual Awakening Level of 20% is a bottleneck?¡± Li Yuan had an epiphany.


    Just like with Martial Artists, the difference in Life Level before and after Entry Rank is astonishing.


    ¡°With only 22 hours left until the Combat Assessment ends, finding forty or fifty Exotic Beasts seems bleak,¡± a hint of urgency flickered through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    He originally thought that killing four or five would be enough.


    Now, he needs to kill forty or fifty.


    Slaughter is not difficult, the challenge is finding the targets.


    ¡°There¡¯s only one most reliable method,¡± Li Yuan suddenly turned his head, staring at the distant forest.


    It was the direction where he encountered Sister Qiu Jing yesterday.


    ¡°The Rock Desert Tribe.¡±


    ¡°Sister Qiu Jing mentioned that there are over 200 warriors in this tribe, killing just a part of them would be enough to push my Spiritual Awakening Level to 25%¡±


    ¡°But then, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to unleash all my strength,¡± a trace of coldness flitted across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°So let it burst.¡±


    ¡°Even if it really draws the inquiry of the Flying Heaven Warriors, as long as they don¡¯t discover the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, it will ultimately be attributed to my extremely high talent.¡±


    ¡°As long as I¡¯m strong enough, there will be Great Confucians to reason for me,¡± Li Yuan figured everything out in an instant.


    Unleashing all his strength carried certain risks, but the potential gains were also substantial.


    With Origin Power entering his body twice, the strength enhancement was already so significant.


    How miraculous would the so-called ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯ be? Missing this Combat Assessment would mean waiting until next February.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, he rushed towards the direction of the Rock Desert Tribe.


    ¡­


    An hour later.


    Deep underground, on a high-speed moving train.


    Both sides of the train were filled with freshmen from the Sixth Institute, the atmosphere was very tense.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Look everyone, the big senior brother, his score has surpassed 200. In just over ten seconds, it¡¯s increased by more than a hundred points,¡± an astonished voice rang out.


    ¡°Our Sixth Institute is first in the total score among the freshmen groups!!¡±

    Chapter 201: Chapter 167: Geniuses Gather Like Clouds (54,000 Monthly Votes Plus Update)


    ¡°A life-saving item?¡± Li Yuan looked at the box in President Li¡¯s hand.


    At first glance, it looked no different from an ordinary wooden box.


    Clang~ Li Yang opened the wooden box.


    Immediately, a strange fragrance wafted from the box, and a crystal clear, purple elixir appeared in front of Li Yuan.


    It was very small, only the size of a pinky finger, but the strange fragrance alone involuntarily stirred up the desire to swallow it.


    ¡°Teacher, what is this?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva.


    ...


    ¡°Its official name is ¡®Prime Purple Life-Prolonging Elixir,¡¯ implying that with it, it¡¯s as if you have an extra life,¡± Li Yang said as he looked at the elixir in the box, with a hint of emotion, ¡°However, we Prime Warriors are used to calling it ¡®Life-Saving Pill.''¡±


    ¡°Its efficacy is very simple.¡±


    ¡°Once you are gravely injured, even if your organs are shattered, as long as you consume it within a very short time, you¡¯ll quickly recover,¡± Li Yang said softly, ¡°Of course, the head is a fatal weakness and cannot be harmed.¡±


    ¡°Aside from the head, everything else can be recovered, including the heart.¡±


    ¡°Even heart damage can be healed?¡± Li Yuan listened in amazement, looking at the purple elixir.


    What kind of medicine was this?


    ¡°It has three flaws,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°The first is that its medicinal power is limited, it¡¯s not much use to a Flying Heaven Warrior, and only works on those below that level.¡±


    Li Yuan listened on.


    This was not surprising; if it were effective for Flying Heaven Warriors, it would definitely be a true divine elixir.


    ¡°The second is scarcity; it¡¯s extremely rare, many Prime Warriors may have never even heard of it,¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan, ¡°I¡¯m not very clear on the method of its production, but it¡¯s not for sale, and you¡¯d have a hard time finding it through normal purchasing channels.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement, indeed, his access to information in the Starfire Martial Hall was not bad.


    But he had never heard of it.


    ¡°The third, it heals injuries but cannot detoxify,¡± Li Yang said seriously, ¡°So, if you encounter some of the Alien Races with deadly poisons, you must be careful.¡±


    ¡°The Star Realm is vast, with many common poisons, and it¡¯s easy to fall victim if one is not careful.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded, Poison?


    Teacher Xu Bo, he died because of the poisons in the Star Realm.


    Uncle Li Changzhou, too, almost died from the poisons of the Star Realm¡­ In fact, every year a large number of ordinary people and Martial Artists die from poisoning in the Star Realm.


    It can¡¯t be helped, with so many realms and contact with various Foreign Civilizations, there are myriad poisons, impossible to fully guard against.


    ¡°Put it away,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Remember, its fragrance is very special, easily detectable by the keen Perception Ability of a Prime Warrior, so it¡¯s best to hide it in the ¡®Origin Power Battle Suit¡¯ Inner Layer, to be completely sealed off.¡±


    ¡°When you need to use it, just bring it out from the Battle Garment with a thought,¡± Li Yang explained the method of use to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded, reaching into the box to take out the Prime Purple Life-Prolonging Elixir.


    Hum~


    A streak of black light seeped from Li Yuan¡¯s palm, rolling up the Prime Purple Life-Prolonging Elixir like liquid, as it disappeared from sight.


    The fragrance that lingered in the air around rapidly dissipated.


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s the first matter, the second is about your advancement in skill to the Fifth Stage.¡±


    ¡°You too.¡±


    ¡°Last time, when your skill reached the High Rank of the Fourth Level, you didn¡¯t inform me, your teacher, immediately, and this time is the same,¡± Li Yang said with a hint of helplessness, ¡°Do you look down on me, your teacher, that much? I always have to hear it from someone else.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Li Yuan immediately admitted his fault.


    But Li Yuan also felt helpless in his heart; each time he had just broken through.


    ¡°Your quick advancement is not only beyond my expectations but probably exceeds everyone else¡¯s predictions for you,¡± Li Yang said with a laugh, ¡°Just the speed of your progress from the Fourth to the Fifth Stage is a bit faster than Fang Hai¡¯s was.¡±


    ¡°A bit faster?¡± Li Yuan paused.


    The time it took from his Fourth to Fifth Stage was less than half of Fang Hai¡¯s.


    ¡°You think I¡¯m wrong?¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Yes, in terms of time, you¡¯re much faster, but you have to understand one thing, your Physical Quality has surpassed level 15, and your spiritual power has long been comparable to that of a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°When Fang Hai broke through to the Fifth Stage, he was only 16 years old, and his Physical Quality was only level 8.¡± Li Yang said with emotion, ¡°He was not a talent with spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°Level 8?¡± Li Yuan understood Li Yang¡¯s point.


    Comprehension, spiritual power, and temperament all complement each other.


    Temperament is the most difficult to understand, so let¡¯s not talk about that for now.


    Comprehension is the most mysterious, related to a person¡¯s soul essence, postnatal experiences, and many other aspects. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But spiritual power can be quantified.


    An increase in spiritual power speeds up a person¡¯s thought process, calculation ability, and Perception Ability, among others.


    Simply put, in Martial Arts Cultivation, spiritual power is a ¡®magnifier¡¯ for a person¡¯s talent for comprehension; it¡¯s fundamental.


    If a person¡¯s Physical Quality and spiritual power are both only at level 5, then, no matter how high his talent for comprehension might be, his skill cannot possibly reach the Fifth Stage.


    It¡¯s like a great chef who can¡¯t cook a feast without ingredients.


    Conversely, even if a person has low comprehension, but has a spiritual power of level 29, with gradual practice, advancing to the Fourth Stage wouldn¡¯t be too difficult.


    Fang Hai, with a Physical Quality of level 8, must have had just average spiritual power, yet his skill reached the Fifth Stage.


    The height of his comprehension can be seen.


    That¡¯s why he caused such a sensation back then.


    ¡°Of course, your spiritual power is also your talent,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Taking everything into account, the current you is already very close to Fang Hai back in the day.¡±


    ¡°Xia Country has listed you as a genius of the same level as Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°Below the ranks of the Flying Heaven Warriors, you two are the most highly regarded by the upper echelons of Xia Country,¡± Li Yang said with emotion.

    Chapter 202: Chapter 167: Geniuses Gather Like Clouds (54,000 Monthly Votes Plus Update)_2


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, which was already a high degree of recognition.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe already possesses the strength of a Flying Heaven Warrior, enough to defend himself, and no one is targeting him,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°But you, although your strength is close to that of a Prime Warrior, it is still far from sufficient¡­ You must know that within our human civilization, there are spies from alien races.¡±


    ¡°Alien spies?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart tightened.


    He had heard teachers mention it in general education classes at school, but he had never seen one.


    ¡°These alien spies, one type is from alien races that have infiltrated us, after all, some foreign civilizations look very similar to humans in appearance, and some are even human,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°The other type is human traitors bought by alien races¡­ due to the full surveillance of the virtual network, they rarely expose themselves, mostly just gathering information.¡±


    ¡°Some alien spies have not yet declared war on our human civilization and will not target you.¡±


    ...


    ¡°But a minority of alien races, wishing to destroy us quickly, such as the ¡®Alien Civilization¡¯ behind the Rob Sea Star Realm, if their higher-ups learn of your talent, they would likely attempt an assassination at all costs,¡± Li Yang said solemnly, ¡°Previously, your value was at most equivalent to a top-grade Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, even if they became aware of your existence, they would not target you easily, and the Starfire South Lake community where you live is considered safe.¡±


    ¡°But now, your status is barely comparable to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yang remarked.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior? Li Yuan was surprised.


    This evaluation was astonishingly high.


    A genius is just a genius, while a Flying Heaven Warrior is a true powerhouse.


    It looks like his skill breakthrough to the Fifth Stage did indeed shake the higher-ups of Xia Country and the Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°Currently, the only ones who know about your advancement to the Fifth Stage Skill within the school are just me, Dean Xu, Dean Hai, and the principal,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Then there are a few high-level individuals in Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall who are aware, but your information has been archived.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, Dantai Feng might be informed as a way to motivate him,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°After all, he is also highly regarded by the higher-ups of Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°But people like Fei Qian, like other teachers from different departments of the school, do not know, so keep it to yourself for now.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    All this must be to prevent a surprise attack from alien spies.


    ¡°Teacher, until when should I keep this hidden?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Not too long, just until the end of February,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°During the global university Martial Path tournament, it won¡¯t matter if the information is exposed.¡±


    ¡°By then, staying within the school, you¡¯ll be absolutely safe.¡±


    ¡°And with the pace of your cultivation, you will soon become a Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Once you¡¯ve become a Prime Warrior, combined with your skills, your strength will increase significantly, making it difficult for alien races to assassinate you.¡±


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s unlikely they would actually dispatch a Flying Heaven Level to assassinate you, the cost is too great.¡±


    ¡°Blue Star is after all a territory of our human civilization, and it is extremely difficult for alien races to conceal a Flying Heaven Level existence here, they will not expose themselves unless it is absolutely necessary,¡± Li Yang said confidently.


    Li Yuan listened silently.


    From the teacher¡¯s words, there were actually hidden Flying Heaven Level spies within human civilization?


    The mere thought was chilling.


    ¡°With your level of skill, by the time of the global university Martial Path tournament in February, with a bit of luck, you might even make it into the top ten,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    ¡°Luck is needed to reach the top ten?¡± Li Yuan reflected on his teacher¡¯s words.


    ¡°What? Don¡¯t agree?¡±


    Li Yang couldn¡¯t help laughing: ¡°If it were just about the global freshman battles, you would undoubtedly be the undisputed first, with even Dantai Feng no longer being your match.¡±


    ¡°But the virtual battle of the global university Martial Path tournament is open for all students from the first, second, and third years.¡±


    ¡°The students from the world¡¯s three top martial arts schools may not have skills equal to yours.¡±


    ¡°But those sophomores and juniors who¡¯ve been practicing for several more years, many are already Prime Warriors¡­ The substantial foundation improvement gives them a much higher probability of entering the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yang said seriously, ¡°At least, I know that in the third-year students of the top three martial arts schools, there are Martial Path geniuses with Fifth Stage Skill, and there¡¯s more than one of them.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also the possibility of second-year students having reached the Fifth Stage Skill.¡±


    ¡°All in all, there are usually more than a dozen of them.¡±


    ¡°Besides the three top martial arts schools, those regional Martial Arts Universities, although generally less talented, compensate with their vast numbers, occasionally producing outstanding geniuses as well,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Even in our Kunlun Martial University, there is another Fifth Stage genius apart from you.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin?¡± Li Yuan realized who it was.


    ¡°Yes, he broke through after the ten-school freshman competition,¡± Li Yang nodded, ¡°It took him more than two years to advance from Fourth Stage Skill to Fifth Stage Skill.¡±


    ¡°So.¡±


    ¡°In the global university Martial Path tournament¡¯s virtual combat, there are usually around twenty students with Fifth Stage Skill, sometimes more, sometimes fewer.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered with a thoughtful look.


    Guys like Guan Ying, Yu Ming, Garava, and others from his batch¡­ in two years, when they become juniors, might very well be able to reach the Fifth Stage Skill.


    Dantai Feng? He had an extremely high chance to break through within the next one or two years.


    Time indeed possessed an astonishing magic power.


    ¡°This big competition should be divided by age,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but lament, ¡°otherwise, it¡¯s too unfair for freshmen.¡±


    ¡°Have you ever considered that this arrangement might be deliberate?¡± Li Yang smiled, ¡°The whole point is to let each batch of so-called top talents face some hardship to temper their character.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, it¡¯s also because the rewards of the global Martial Arts University competition are excellent¡­ With just so many spots available, that¡¯s why they combine everyone to hold the event,¡± added Li Yang. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    ¡°No matter about other people, if Dantai Feng can break through, then he might still have some hope,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°What¡¯s important for you is to focus on yourself.¡±


    ¡°My expectation for you is to break into the top ten of the virtual battle.¡±


    ¡°There are two more months, which is plenty of time for you to make substantial progress,¡± Li Yang smiled, ¡°If you can break into the top ten, the rewards will exceed your expectations.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Top ten?


    His main rivals were those Martial Path talents from global universities who had managed to break through to the Fifth Stage Skill.


    ¡°Finally, regarding the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The day after tomorrow, you¡¯ll set off,¡± said Li Yang, ¡°The school has already arranged it; you should enter through gate number three.¡±


    ¡°You will spend a month in the life-and-death struggle.¡±


    ¡°A month later, return to the school as quickly as you can,¡± Li Yang instructed, ¡°During the struggle for survival, the school has already forged a new identity for you, and you just need to slightly disguise your appearance¡­ so, if it comes to a critical moment, unleashing the Fifth Stage Skill is also fine.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Although he had gained some fame, it was mainly within Jiang City or at most within Jiangbei Province, and very few could recognize him immediately.


    Just like Li Yuan himself, who wouldn¡¯t particularly pay attention to the appearances of those battle heroes.


    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yang and Dean Xu left.


    Li Yuan¡¯s life returned to tranquility once more, and he spent the last two days with even more patience accompanying his uncle and aunt.


    Two days later.


    January 1st, 2044, Seven Stars calendar.


    Fully armed, Li Yuan bid farewell to his family.


    ¡°Uncle, auntie, I¡¯m going to Feixing for special training this time, and I won¡¯t be able to contact Blue Star for a month,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°When I return from Feixing, I¡¯ll contact you again.¡±


    That was the excuse Li Yuan had concocted.


    He didn¡¯t want to cause his uncle and aunt concern.


    ¡°A month with no contact? Isn¡¯t that a bit long? Won¡¯t it be dangerous?¡± Chen Hui¡¯s face showed a trace of worry.


    ¡°Go ahead, going to Feixing must be a rare opportunity, it¡¯s a holy land for the cultivation of the entire human civilization,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about home.¡±


    ¡­


    Using the false identity ¡®Xu An¡¯, Li Yuan rode on a specialized flying vehicle via the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s channel.


    He headed for the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°The Mingxu Star Realm has as many as four stable entrances and exits, and occasionally some unstable ones appear,¡± Li Yuan read the information in his hand and was secretly shocked, ¡°It¡¯s actually similar to the Fish Spirit Star Realm.¡±


    The Fish Spirit Star Realm had entrances and exits spanning hundreds of miles, which were unstable and often appeared deep underground, unpredictable and hard to defend against.


    Half a day later.


    Li Yuan arrived at ¡®Mingxu Star Realm Gate Number Three,¡¯ located in Jiangnan Province.


    ¡ª¡ª


    PS: Brothers, I¡¯ve been working hard to update! Begging for a monthly pass! Hold the ranks steady!!

 Chapter 203 - 168: Mingxu Star Realm

    Chapter 203: Chapter 168: Mingxu Star Realm


    Jiangnan Province is the wealthiest province in Xia Country, and one of the wealthiest areas on Blue Star, flourishing beyond compare.


    However, that all pertains to the big cities, which have nothing to do with the third entrance of Mingxu Star Realm.


    The third entrance was built in the suburbs, with tens of kilometers around it designated as a military restricted area.


    Under normal circumstances, civil aircraft are not allowed to enter this area, as they could be shot down by an electromagnetic tower at any moment.


    Whoosh!


    It is drizzling from the sky today, yet a small aircraft is rapidly approaching that hundred-meter-tall War Fortress.


    ...


    ¡°Martial Artist Xu An, Martial Artist Yang Zhu, we are almost at the third Mingxu Fortress,¡± spoke a burly accompanying Martial Artist with a full beard in a low voice.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, looking into the distance.


    This War Fortress covered a vast area; though nowhere near as large as ¡®Kunlun Fortress,¡¯ it was like an enlarged stadium, resembling a gigantic beast sprawled across the vast land.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current level of access, he also roughly knew that if the entrance to the Star Realm weren¡¯t fixed, it would be another matter.


    For those stable entrances to the Star Realms, human civilization almost always built War Fortresses as a precaution.


    ¡°By passing through the War Fortress, we can enter Mingxu Star Realm,¡± whispered a lean middle-aged Martial Artist beside him: ¡°Of the four major entrances to Mingxu Star Realm, two are in our Xia Country, and the other two are in Africa Continent, which have little to do with us.¡±


    Li Yuan glanced at the lean middle-aged Martial Artist, who was also preparing to enter Mingxu Star Realm¡ªStarfire Martial Hall Martial Artist named Yang Zhu.


    Physical Quality 18.4.


    Yang Zhu¡¯s eyes revealed years of vicissitudes, and although he looked to be in his thirties or forties, he seemed to have gone through many experiences.


    Rumble~


    The aircraft slowly descended and hovered about ten meters above the ground.


    ¡°This is as far as we go,¡± the female pilot said with a smile. ¡°Inside the War Fortress, there will be military personnel to guide you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± they said.


    Li Yuan smiled, grabbed the long rectangular weapon case set aside, and leaped down.


    A mere ten meters or so.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current skill and physical quality, even if he jumped from a height of thirty or forty meters, as long as he used the Unloading Force technique a little, he wouldn¡¯t suffer the slightest injury.


    Yang Zhu, with his combat saber and shield on his back, also silently jumped down.


    Rumble~


    The aircraft rapidly ascended, heading toward the district shrouded in the misty rain at the edge of the horizon.


    ¡°Chief, who are those two that we had to personally deliver?¡± the female pilot couldn¡¯t help asking. ¡°Do they have some kind of background?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure,¡± the bearded accompanying Martial Artist shook his head. ¡°It should be that Xu An fellow; he is an L6-level Martial Hall member.¡±


    ¡°L6-level? That¡¯s usually for high-level Prime Warriors, right? So formidable? Could he be the illegitimate son of a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± the female pilot was astonished.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask too much, there are things you can¡¯t handle,¡± the bearded burly man said. ¡°Just focus on flying your aircraft.¡±


    ¡­


    Carrying their weapon cases, LI Yuan and Yang Zhu, following the path indicated by two soldiers, entered a waiting hall.


    ¡°Martial Artists.¡±


    ¡°The trains to the Star Realm carry ten people per trip,¡± said the soldier with a smile. ¡°The last one just left, so you¡¯ll have to wait a bit.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll set off as soon as we gather ten people.¡±


    ¡°Over here, we have all kinds of free snacks and drinks prepared; please help yourselves, both of you,¡± the soldier said with a smile.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan and Yang Zhu, one of them had already surveyed all sorts of data and regulations, the other clearly a ¡®Starfield Veteran,¡¯ didn¡¯t ask further.


    They waited quietly.


    ¡°Xu An, want some alcohol?¡± Yang Zhu looked at Xu An.


    ¡°No need.¡± Li Yuan replied indifferently.


    Yang Zhu nodded, took a cup of wine and a cup of water from a nearby counter, and handed the water to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Li Yuan accepted without refusal.


    ¡°Are you a student at Martial Arts University?¡± Yang Zhu sat down and looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Does it seem so?¡± Li Yuan smiled lightly; his facial features had been subtly adjusted.


    Modern means of doing so were plentiful.


    Besides, being not so famous, it was unlikely for many to recognize him.


    ¡°It¡¯s not about the resemblance, but your youth.¡±


    Yang Zhu smiled and said, ¡°Entering Star Realm for adventure requires at least level 15, most wouldn¡¯t be so young¡­ Also, today is January 1st, and as per tradition, many elite students from Martial Arts University will start heading to various Star Realms for life and death trials after their vacation ends.¡±


    ¡°So, I deduced that you are from Martial Arts University.¡±


    Li Yuan was momentarily speechless, realizing his cover was blown in such a way.


    Never underestimate anyone¡¯s power of observation.


    ¡°But with the way you move, always ready for combat at a moment¡¯s notice, you must have been through quite a few life-and-death battles,¡± Yang Zhu said with a smile. ¡°You must be an upperclassman in your fourth or fifth year.¡±


    ¡°Yang Big Brother is really accurate,¡± Li Yuan chuckled.


    Always combat-ready? When skill reaches a high enough level, one can enter this state whenever willing.


    But the insight Yang Zhu possessed spoke volumes in itself.


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm has been unstable lately; are you here for a guard mission or combat mission?¡± Li Yuan took the initiative to ask.


    The best way to avoid further questions is to ask in return.


    ¡°Probably a combat mission,¡± Yang Zhu smiled. ¡°Guard missions are less interesting, what about you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll follow orders,¡± Li Yuan kept it vague.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm? A female Martial Artist arrived, young and attractive,¡± Yang Zhu¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan also saw the newcomer, his eyes brightening.


    ¡°Yang Big Brother.¡±


    ¡°Do you believe that I can add her on V-Chat right now?¡± Li Yuan grinned.


    ¡°You? Don¡¯t believe it,¡± Yang Zhu shook his head with a smile.


    ¡°Watch me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile and directly got up to approach the female Martial Artist who had just completed her identity verification.


    Upon turning her head and seeing Li Yuan, the female Martial Artist¡¯s eyes lit up instantly.


    She recognized Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hello, my name is Xu An; can I add you on V-Chat?¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    The female Martial Artist was initially startled, but upon noticing ¡®Yang Zhu¡¯ in the distance, she quickly understood and chuckled, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Shi Xiao.¡±


    ¡­


    The sudden appearance of Senior Shi Xiao was completely beyond Li Yuan¡¯s expectations, and to prevent her from calling out his real name,


    He took it upon himself to ¡®hit on¡¯ her.


    Shi Xiao was very clever, reacting within a second to realize Li Yuan was hiding his true identity.


    ¡°Xu Brother, impressive,¡± Yang Zhu said with a smile, ¡°This world really does judge by appearance.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled without replying.


    As time passed, more and more warriors began to gather in the waiting hall.


    But suddenly.


    ¡°Clang~¡± The metal entrance to the hallway opened, and two medical carts were quickly pushed out, with two men covered in blood lying on them.


    One of the men had both arms broken, the flesh a bloody blur.


    From their attire, they were most likely warriors.


    ¡°Hurry.¡±


    ¡°Excuse us, make way!¡± Several medical personnel shouted, pushing the carts as they rushed toward the exterior of the war fortress.


    Li Yuan, Shi Xiao, and the others instinctively looked through the window to the outside.


    Outside the war fortress, a small aircraft was slowly descending.


    This scene.


    Caused the previously talkative nine warriors in the waiting hall to fall silent, a shadow falling over their hearts.


    The death rate for those venturing into the Star Realm was astonishingly high.


    ¡°It seems that the situation in Mingxu Star Realm is not optimistic,¡± Yang Zhu sighed softly, ¡°There¡¯s a high probability that direct conflicts have erupted with local forces.¡±


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao exchanged glances.


    A conflict?


    Why had they come to the Mingxu Star Realm if not to engage in life-and-death battles?


    ¡°They¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve gathered ten warriors, set out! Set out!¡± the guard soldier shouted loudly.


    ¡­


    ¡°Clang~¡± The train slowly started, with the ten warriors dispersed and sitting in different parts of the carriage.


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao, as schoolmates from the same academy and both under Li Yang, naturally trusted each other more.


    It went without saying that they sat next to each other.


    Hum~ Screens projected light appeared simultaneously on the front, back, and two side walls of the carriage.


    In the projection, the figure of a burly officer appeared, his expression stern.


    ¡°Respected warriors, first of all, thank you for volunteering to enter the Star Realm and contributing to human civilization,¡± the burly officer spoke solemnly, ¡°We are about to reach the First Level Star Realm ¡®Mingxu Star Realm.¡¯


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm is vast. The largest known diameter of our explored range has already exceeded 60,000 kilometers¡­ and that¡¯s still far from the limit of the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°In the Star Realm, apart from our human civilization, there are two known foreign civilizations that can enter through the passage, namely ¡®Tianliang Civilization¡¯ and ¡®Lin Mo Civilization.¡¯


    ¡°Tianliang Civilization is a humanoid civilization. They look extremely similar to humans, but their genetic sequencing is quite different. There are also fundamental differences in their aura¡­ As they look similar, one must be vigilant against Tianliang Civilization impostors within the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Lin Mo Civilization, on the other hand, is a beast-like civilization¡­¡±


    ¡°The most powerful force within the Mingxu Star Realm are the ¡®local forces¡¯ of the Star Realm. Although the origin of a First Level Star Realm is not very strong, due to the vast territory, they still compete and fight against each other, nurturing quite a few Flying Heaven Level beings. Each one of them is a ruler of the Mingxu Star Realm and must not be provoked.¡±


    ¡°Throughout the Mingxu Star Realm, there are also many Second Rank creatures lurking. They occupy many territories rich in life force, spiritual soil veins, Heavenly Materials Treasures¡­ these are the true opponents our human civilization has come to battle.¡±


    ¡°Remember.¡±


    ¡°To enter and exit a First Level Star Realm, one must be below the Life Level of 20. Practice moderation in your cultivation within the Star Realm¡­ Once your Life Level reaches 20 and you become a Prime Warrior, you will have to stay in the Mingxu Star Realm forever.¡±


    ¡°Next, are the details about Base Three¡­¡± the burly officer continued to introduce many aspects of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    All the warriors listened quietly.


    Even though Li Yuan already knew much of this information, he didn¡¯t mind listening to it again.


    Suddenly, boom~


    An invisible pressure instantly enveloped all the warriors in the carriage, almost all of them changing color, and Shi Xiao was no exception.


    ¡°The portal between two realms,¡± Li Yuan clearly understood this to be the collision of space between the Star Realm and the Blue Star, creating an extremely special oppressive force.


    It was this unique force that prevented Second Rank lives from crossing the barrier.


    However, this force¡¯s oppression meant nothing to Li Yuan, who had reached the Fifth Stage in his skills.


    With his skill and spiritual power, he easily resisted it.


    ¡­


    The strange oppression came quickly and left just as fast, and many in the carriage gradually returned to normal.


    Li¡­ Xu An, you didn¡¯t feel it at all?¡± Shi Xiao couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I can endure,¡± replied Li Yuan with a smile.


    Shortly after, the carriage slowly came to a halt and the doors opened, allowing the sunlight to pour in directly.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived.¡±


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm.¡± The group of people walked out of the carriage onto the metal plaza outside.


    There were quite a few soldiers around the plaza, and everyone immediately saw the huge war fortress a few hundred meters tall not far away.


    And far in the distance, at the end of the horizon, there was a mountain range stretching across the edge of the world like a curtain in the sky.


    ¡°Is that Ming Mountain?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Standing beside Li Yuan, Yang Zhu also saw the mountain at the end of the world and said softly, ¡°According to the information, it should be more than 20,000 kilometers away from us¡­ Its height must exceed 1,000 kilometers. It¡¯s the highest mountain in the Mingxu Star Realm. Legends say more than one Flying Heaven beast inhabits it¡­ The Star Realm is full of mysteries, anything can happen, anything can be born, such a mountain should not exist on the Blue Star.¡±


    Many veteran warriors were not there for the first time and were quite indifferent, but Li Yuan and Shi Xiao were somewhat amazed.


    This was a natural wonder not seen on the Blue Star.


    ¡°Xu An, Shi Xiao.¡±


    A warrior officer approached them from not far away and spoke solemnly, ¡°The two of you, please follow me.¡±


    The other warriors looked over, curious about the situation.


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao exchanged a glance and obediently followed the officer into the war fortress nearby.


    Taking the elevator.


    Eventually, the two followed the warrior officer into a large office.


    A blue-robed elder was standing in front of a massive map projection, deep in thought.


    The map projection showed continuous mountain ranges, giant rivers, and many huge red dots marked on it¡­


    ¡°Commander, the people have been brought here,¡± the warrior officer said quietly.


    ¡°Oh? You can leave now,¡± the blue-robed elder seemed to have just noticed them, turning his head to look at Li Yuan and Shi Xiao. After the guiding officer left, he then revealed a smile, ¡°Li Yuan, Shi Xiao, hello.¡±


    ¡°Senior, hello,¡± Li Yuan and Shi Xiao said in unison.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with shock.


    Because, in his Divine Palace¡¯s investigation, the elder¡¯s Life Level was 24.


    A Prime Warrior!


    But since Mingxu Star Realm was a First Level Star Realm, shouldn¡¯t becoming a Prime Warrior mean one could no longer return to the Blue Star? S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 204 - 169: Thirty Years in One Town

    Chapter 204: Chapter 169: Thirty Years in One Town


    ¡°You applied for the trial adventure here, so your school has sent me your information,¡± the elder in blue smiled.


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao suddenly understood.


    This was normal.


    ¡°My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Jing. I am the chief officer of the third base,¡± the elder in blue said, ¡°As elite students from Kunlun Martial University, you are different from ordinary martial artists who come here for adventure. We will place more importance on you.¡±


    ¡°Senior Liu,¡± Li Yuan and Shi Xiao immediately changed their address.


    As the chief officer of a war base in the Star Realm, the authority of the elder in blue was absolutely astonishing.


    ...


    And the independence of a war base here was certain to be extremely high.


    In a place where life and death were battled out on someone else¡¯s territory, it was natural to show respect.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had vaguely guessed the reason for the other party being a ¡®Prime Warrior¡¯ and couldn¡¯t help but feel a hint of admiration in his heart.


    ¡°Since this is your first time here, there are some things I need to make clear to you in advance,¡± the elder in blue said, ¡°Firstly, our human civilization has four main outpost bases in the Mingxu Star Realm, with both the first and the second being thousands of kilometers away from us, too far to rely on.¡±


    ¡°Are the first and second entry point bases in the Africa Continent?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    The four entry points into the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Two in the Africa Continent and two in Xia Country.


    ¡°Correct,¡± Liu Jing nodded, ¡°Our third and fourth bases are relatively close to each other, but they are still over two thousand kilometers apart¡­ Usually, contact between them is made through the Blue Star.¡±


    Li Yuan and Shi Xiao were stunned.


    Two thousand kilometers, in the perilous and exotic-beast-filled Mingxu Star Realm, was very distant indeed.


    ¡°So, if our third base wants to survive, we essentially have to rely on ourselves,¡± the elder in blue, Liu Jing, said looking at them. ¡°The base¡¯s main tasks are, first, to constantly kill the Entry Rank alien species nearby, continually expanding our living space. This is the combat mission.¡±


    ¡°Second is the search for various resources, such as Heavenly Materials Treasures, veins of minerals, and suitable Earth of Spiritual Nature. This is the resource exploration task.¡±


    ¡°Third is the defense mission. Over decades, the region within three hundred kilometers of the base has become our territory. We have opened up many resource spots, but we still suffer occasional attacks from the alien species, so we need warriors to guard,¡± the elder in blue continued, looking at them. ¡°Which mission do you want to participate in?¡±


    Ordinary martial artists wouldn¡¯t have a choice.


    ¡°Combat mission,¡± Li Yuan and Shi Xiao said in unison.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Liu Jing smiled faintly, ¡°I¡¯ll arrange for you two to join a squad of martial artists, to find you a team that¡¯s strong enough.¡±


    ¡°With more people in a team working together, the chances of survival will be much greater.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Shi Xiao nodded. It wasn¡¯t her first adventure in the Star Realm.


    She had some experience.


    ¡°Senior Liu, can I venture alone?¡± Li Yuan suddenly asked. ¡°I remember you can apply to form a team on your own.¡±


    Before Liu Jing could reply, Shi Xiao exclaimed, ¡°Are you crazy, Li Yuan? Is this your first time venturing into the Star Realm? How high can your Physical Quality be?¡±


    In her memory, Li Yuan¡¯s true strength shouldn¡¯t even match her own.


    And without experience.


    ¡°Forming a team on your own? According to the rules, only Eighteenth Rank martial artists are allowed to venture alone,¡± the elder in blue, Liu Jing, said, eyes narrowing slightly and smiling, ¡°Your information indicates that your power is comparable to a Nineteenth Rank martial artist, so you do qualify.¡±


    ¡°Comparable to a Nineteenth Rank martial artist?¡± Shi Xiao was shocked.


    ¡°It seems this young girl is still in the dark,¡± Liu Jing chuckled, ¡°Li Yuan, you performed well in the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City and even received a First Rank Silver Quality Medal. That¡¯s really quite impressive.¡±


    ¡°A First Rank Silver Quality Medal?¡± Shi Xiao¡¯s mouth formed an ¡®O¡¯ shape.


    She wasn¡¯t naive; she knew full well how difficult it was to receive such a medal.


    She was aware of the Fish Spirit Tide that had erupted in Jiang City.


    But she was not aware of Li Yuan¡¯s deeds, as she wouldn¡¯t go out of her way to pay attention to the commendation ceremonies.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯re quite strong, but strength and experience are two different things. Are you sure you don¡¯t want an older person to guide you?¡± Liu Jing asked.


    ¡°No need,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Considering his strength, he was almost a Prime Warrior¡­ A normal squad of martial artists would only hold him back.


    Besides, if he wanted to quickly increase his Spiritual Awakening Level, he had to kill a large number of alien species, and it would be better to be alone.


    ¡°Alright, the path is yours to choose, and I won¡¯t force you. You can venture on your own,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Shi Xiao, what about you? Do you also want to venture alone?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Shi Xiao shook her head quickly. ¡°Please arrange a squad of martial artists for me, senior.¡±


    With Physical Quality surpassing the Seventeenth Rank, and Fourth Level technique prowess, Shi Xiao¡¯s frontal combat strength was also approaching that of a Nineteenth Rank martial artist.


    However, she didn¡¯t possess Li Yuan¡¯s confidence.


    ¡°Very well, you¡¯ll receive information soon,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Before you go and fight for life and death with the alien species, remember three things. First, be sure to avoid Second Rank alien species.¡±


    ¡°Second, do not readily use thermal weapons.¡±


    ¡°Third, within a thousand kilometers of the war base, if you call for help, we can know immediately. Beyond a thousand kilometers¡­ the signal becomes very bad.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan and Shi Xiao said solemnly.


    They both roughly knew the reasons for these warnings from Liu Jing. In the Mingxu Star Realm, human civilization was merely a small force¡­ They were all about low-profile development and cautious advancement.


    Each war base operated only a few hundred kilometers around it.


    Indeed, thermal weapons can cause massive casualties among the alien species. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even Second Rank exotic beasts would fall victim to an onslaught of thermal weapons.


    But who are the real overlords of the entire Mingxu Star Realm? Not those Second Rank exotic beasts, but the Flying Heaven Level beings!


    If the Flying Heaven Level entities harbored hostility, it could spell disaster for the human civilization¡¯s outpost bases.


    Similar incidents have been commonplace in the history of human exploration of the many star realms.


    ¡°Commander,¡± the door opened, and the officer from before walked in.


    ¡°Arrange for Wu Qiong and their squad to take in Shi Xiao,¡± Liu Jing instructed. ¡°She¡¯s been clamoring for a strong member, so I¡¯ll give her one.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the officer nodded. ¡°Martial Artist Shi Xiao, follow me.¡±


    ¡°Xu An, keep in touch with me, okay?¡± Shi Xiao winked. She guessed that Li Yuan had his own cultivation plans and did not insist on staying with him.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded with a smile.


    ¡­


    The two people left, and the door was closed again.


    Only Li Yuan and Liu Jing remained inside the door.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your detailed information is known only to me,¡± Liu Jing said with a slight smile. ¡°How is your teacher Li Yang?¡±


    ¡°Do you know Teacher Li?¡± Li Yuan asked in surprise.


    ¡°We were students of the same year at Kunlun Martial University. Back then, we had a rather good relationship,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that it¡¯s been more than thirty years since we last met.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly. More than thirty years?


    The more he saw, the more Li Yuan could feel the influence of Kunlun Martial University on Xia Country. Everywhere he looked, many of the Prime Warriors in Xia Country had come out of Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°As per your teacher¡¯s instructions.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to score your life-and-death adventure,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile. ¡°So, during your solo adventure, if you kill an Alien Race, you must take an emblematic item from their bodies as proof. Do you understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The Mingxu Star Realm was not like the Combat Assessment, without the omnidirectional surveillance.


    Everything had to be done on one¡¯s own.


    ¡°Shi Xiao joined a team of Martial Artists; she has teammates to help her, so there is no need for me to say more. Since you are venturing on your own, I will give you a few more pieces of advice,¡± Liu Jing said.


    ¡°During your adventure, in addition to being wary of those Exotic Beasts, you need to be cautious of two situations,¡± Liu Jing said seriously. ¡°First are the lifeforms of the Tianliang Civilization. They look similar to us humans, and their activity areas are adjacent to our Base Three.¡±


    ¡°According to the Inquiry, one of their star realm¡¯s entrances and exits is less than two thousand kilometers away from us.¡±


    ¡°That close?¡± Li Yuan expressed his surprise.


    Less than two thousand kilometers meant that it was indeed possible for the strong from both sides to encounter each other during exploration and adventure.


    ¡°Yes, very close,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Besides that, pay attention to other human Martial Artists.¡±


    ¡°Other human Martial Artists?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    Internal conflict?


    ¡°People have selfish desires. If two teams of Martial Artists discover an astonishingly valuable Heavenly Materials Treasure at the same time, how should it be divided?¡± Liu Jing said indifferently.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    ¡°If one side gives in, it¡¯s fine, but if both sides want it, there¡¯s bound to be conflict,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°On Blue Star, within the War Fortress, there are legal systems in place that forbid internal strife.¡±


    ¡°But faced with the temptation of treasures, do not test human nature.¡±


    ¡°Beyond 300 kilometers from the War Fortress¡­ if human Martial Artists kill each other, we will not intervene.¡±


    ¡°So, against other human Martial Artists, you must keep your guard up,¡± Liu Jing said.


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, senior,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Liu Jing was so thoroughly transparent in his advice; it was no doubt genuine care.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    ¡­


    He watched Li Yuan leave.


    ¡°I am slowly getting older,¡± Liu Jing thought to himself with a sigh. ¡°It¡¯s been more than thirty years.¡±


    As a Prime Warrior, he could live much longer, but his heart was already weary.


    Wishing to return to his hometown but unable to do so.


    This life would continue indefinitely.


    ¡­


    After leaving Liu Jing¡¯s office.


    Another Martial Artist officer came to receive Li Yuan.


    His main role was to introduce Li Yuan to the environment within a 500-kilometer radius of the War Fortress, such as where Second Rank Alien Races were and where a large number of Alien Races congregated.


    The resource points (crops, minerals) of human civilization, the precise locations of observation points.


    Even the main activities of other Martial Artist teams were detailed.


    These were all things that wouldn¡¯t be written in the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s databank.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current spiritual power, although he could not yet remember everything he saw, he was able to quickly jot down the gist.


    Finally.


    ¡°How many years has Senior Liu been here?¡± Li Yuan asked a question that was on his mind.


    ¡°The chief?¡± The Martial Artist officer was startled momentarily and then smiled. ¡°It¡¯s said to be more than thirty years.¡±


    ¡°He is the first commanding officer of Base Three, having volunteered to stay here. It¡¯s said he used to be a 25th Level Prime Warrior, but later his strength suffered a lot due to an injury.¡±


    ¡°Several other Prime Warriors inside the base are also volunteers who chose to remain here.¡±


    ¡°Only with Prime Warriors, and with the War Fortress as the final defense, can our human civilization barely stand firm in the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± the Martialist sighed. ¡°It is the reason why many Alien Race forces around us default to recognizing the several hundred kilometers as our sphere of influence.¡±


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Unlike us First Rank Martial Artists who still have holidays and rotations, and can eventually return to our country¡­ the Prime Warriors will have to stay here for the rest of their lives.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling an unspoken empathy in his heart.


    Within human civilization, there were always those who made quiet sacrifices.


    ¡­


    There was no night in the Mingxu Star Realm, as the sky was always interwoven with two suns.


    Therefore, on the day he arrived at the Mingxu Star Realm.


    At six in the evening by Blue Star¡¯s time, after getting everything ready, Li Yuan left Base Three on his own.


    He embarked on his first Star Realm adventure.

 Chapter 205 - 170: Going Solo (56,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)

    Chapter 205: Chapter 170: Going Solo (56,000 Monthly Tickets Plus Update)


    Boom~


    Riding in a low-altitude flying vehicle, Li Yuan quickly left the war fortress 100 kilometers away, crossing over mountain ranges and rivers.


    Within a hundred kilometers of the war fortress, there were still traces of human activity.


    Beyond a hundred kilometers, the roads gradually disappeared, the trees became taller, and the mountain ranges undulated, slowly turning into a primitive forest.


    ¡°Martial Artist Xu An, we can only take you this far,¡± the pilot said with a smile. ¡°If we go any further, we might encounter flying alien races.¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you,¡± Li Yuan nodded and smiled in response.


    ...


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, indigenous alien races capable of cultivating and absorbing Origin Power were mostly beastly, with a few humanoid, each race being strange and varied¡­ Precisely for this reason, they fought fiercely with one another, so as not to deal with human civilization.


    Second Rank alien races, their wisdom was mostly on par with humans.


    In the eyes of most indigenous alien races, the several hundred kilometers surrounding the human civilization¡¯s outpost were territories occupied by another distinctive species.


    Therefore, unless they wanted to provoke a war, other Second Rank alien races would not easily invade the ¡®hundred kilometer¡¯ range of the outpost.


    As for First Rank alien races?


    They were not that intelligent, but after decades of being slaughtered and cleared out, they too knew that these areas were dominated by an extremely powerful force not to be trifled with.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Holding a long spear in his hand, carrying a combat saber on his back, and wearing a full set of battle garment and combat armor, Li Yuan descended from the tens of meters high in the sky and landed on the ground.


    The jungle was not too dense.


    He watched as the flying vehicle quickly departed.


    ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll have to rely on walking,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself. ¡°Based on previous experience, if I want to quickly increase my Spiritual Awakening Level¡­¡±


    ¡°Then, the stronger the alien race I kill, the more Spiritual Nature nourishment I get.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d better leave the war base 300 kilometers behind as soon as possible.¡±


    Within 100 kilometers of the base, alien races were almost extinct; within 300 kilometers of the base, alien races of Entry Rank were rare, having been slaughtered and cleared out repeatedly by Martial Artist squads.


    Underneath the orbit of two suns, the earth did not seem scorchingly hot.


    ¡°200 kilometers, I should be able to reach it within 3 hours,¡± Li Yuan moved and covered dozens of meters with each step.


    Ten-meter-high cliffs? Ten-meter-wide rivers were merely a light leap away for him.


    Maintaining a travel speed of twenty to thirty meters per second was no more than a walk in the park for Li Yuan now.


    ¡°Unity of Heaven and Man.¡±


    As Li Yuan traveled, he also pondered and grasped the mystery of Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Perceiving the natural way of the world.


    Practicing with a spear, standing, sitting, lying down, walking¡­ all could be used to gain insight.


    After traveling more than ten kilometers.


    Suddenly, within a pile of dilapidated dry grass, several shadows flashed abruptly, and the air exploded with a bang, rushing towards Li Yuan, who was on the move.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    These shadows were fast, but Li Yuan¡¯s spear in hand was faster, with just one thrust sweeping the vast sky.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Plop!¡± ¡°Plop!¡± Drops of blood spattered as the bodies of six snake-like alien creatures were torn apart and fell to the ground.


    ¡°Blood Winged Snake Clan?¡± Li Yuan glanced over.


    These six alien creatures, though similar in appearance to the Blood Winged Snake Clan, had smaller and shorter wings that were only good for gliding.


    ¡°Life Level not even reaching the Tenth Level, and they dare attack me?¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    He didn¡¯t bother to cut off any parts from their bodies, as it was pointless.


    The roads of Mingxu Star Realm were more difficult to traverse than Li Yuan had anticipated; those high mountains appeared to be just one or two kilometers away in a straight line, but crossing them was extremely time-consuming.


    Some canyons and large rivers were also difficult to cross.


    However, with Li Yuan¡¯s strength, after nearly four hours, he still stepped out of the range of human civilization¡¯s activities and truly entered The Wilderness.


    And this journey also made Li Yuan understand the true meaning of ¡®High Origin Environment.¡¯


    On this 200-kilometer journey, more than 100 members of the Alien Race died at Li Yuan¡¯s hands.


    Most were Unranked.


    Most had taken the initiative to ambush Li Yuan.


    ¡°Rich in Origin Power, these Star Realm Creatures don¡¯t need to eat much to be affected by the Origin Power, allowing them to grow and reproduce extremely rapidly,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    He had read quite a few records.


    Compared to many Star Realm beings, humans have a much slower growth and reproduction rate.


    The greatest advantage of human Martial Artists lies in their Comprehension.


    ¡°Star Realm Creatures might reach Entry Rank as adults, but often tens or even hundreds of thousands of them struggle to produce even a single Second Rank powerhouse,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Among human Martial Artists, it usually takes only a few hundred First Rank warriors to produce a Second Rank powerhouse.¡±


    Humans, lacking powerful bloodline support, yet possess an astonishingly strong level of Comprehension.


    At least,


    Among the many Foreign Civilizations that human civilization has come into contact with, almost none surpass humans in Comprehension.


    ¡­


    Walking through The Wilderness.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly stopped. His powerful spiritual power, paired with his body, had faintly sensed that hundreds of meters away, a large group of formidable Alien Race lives was gathering.


    ¡°Finally.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve encountered some interesting opponents,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    Boom!


    With a leap, the rocks beneath Li Yuan¡¯s feet shattered. He stomped on a large tree next to him, using it to jump even higher, and as he did so, the tree collapsed with a roar.


    The battle erupted!


    ¡­


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Howl!¡± ¡°Howl!¡± A large group of beings, like jackals and wolves from the Alien Race, roared as they turned into streaks of light charging at Li Yuan.


    They were all Entry Rank creatures.


    As the dominant clan in this area, facing Li Yuan, an Alien Race life form that challenged them, they naturally would not shrink back.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan wielded his Long Spear in his hand. The spear shadows shifted, resembling a rolling star, vast and magnificent, with impressive might.


    Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Blood splattered as one Alien Race being after another fell to the ground, their bodies slamming into boulders due to inertia,


    or crashing into the ground, or colliding with large trees.


    ¡°No good.¡±


    ¡°These Alien Race creatures are still too weak, mostly only levels 12 or 13, with few even at level 14,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly: ¡°I don¡¯t even need to use Origin Power to easily crush them.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no tempering effect.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure changed immediately, instantly suppressing his strength and speed to the standard of level 11.


    Immediately,


    Li Yuan felt the pressure, as if any one of those Alien Race beings could attack him at any moment.


    ¡°The spear flows like stars,¡± Li Yuan fully immersed himself in his Spear Technique, battling with these Aliens.


    For Li Yuan, venturing in the Star Realm was partly to raise his Spiritual Awakening Level.


    The most important thing,


    was to engage in life-and-death battles with numerous alien races, tempering the spirit and exercising courage in the midst of survival¡­ comprehending the mysteries of nature in The Wilderness. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Eventually,


    after Li Yuan killed over sixty wolf-like alien creatures, the other dozens finally couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and fled amidst howls.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t pursue them deliberately.


    ¡°So many kills.¡±


    ¡°The level of Spiritual Awakening hasn¡¯t increased even 0.1%?¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel and muttered to himself, ¡°Or are these aliens too weak to obtain spiritual nourishment from their bodies?¡±


    After a quick calculation, Li Yuan understood that raising the Spiritual Awakening Level from 25.4% to 30% was going to be a long and arduous process.


    He didn¡¯t bother to cut up the bodies of these aliens.


    Just by uploading the combat video, Li Yuan continued on his way.


    The so-called ¡®proof of kill materials¡¯ was something to worry about after leaving the War Fortress by 1000 kilometers.


    Before that, as long as Li Yuan didn¡¯t care, he could choose to upload combat videos.


    To reduce the burden.


    ¡­


    ¡°Too slow! Speed it up,¡± Li Yuan roared, battling fiercely with many feathered, humanoid life forms before him.


    These humanoids had extraordinarily strong limbs that were as sharp as weapons.


    Facing the long spear in Li Yuan¡¯s hands,


    these humanoid life forms fell one after another, their blood spilling onto the ground.


    ¡°[You have successively slain Entry Rank creatures and obtained spiritual nourishment, with your Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 25.8%]¡± a flash of prompt from the Divine Palace appeared.


    ¡­


    Time passed, day by day.


    Li Yuan was constantly fighting his way through The Wilderness.


    He gradually adapted to this environment.


    Hungry? He ate some beast flesh, then cultivated the ¡®All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡¯ scripture, nourishing his body with Origin Power, basically not needing to eat much.


    Thirsty? He drank directly from the mountain springs.


    Tired? Then he would cultivate the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯, which not only strengthened his spiritual power but also eliminated fatigue.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t need to return to a fixed observation post or camp to rest.


    The rest of his time,


    he was either battling with alien life forms or on the move seeking them.


    Or occasionally, when he gained insights from observing the world, he would stop to quietly practice his spear technique, then continue on with his journey and battle.


    Such a training efficiency was nothing short of astonishing.


    With the alien life forms he slew growing more numerous and more powerful, including creatures of the 17th and 18th levels,


    Li Yuan¡¯s level of Spiritual Awakening, albeit hard to raise, was skyrocketing thanks to the mass slaughter of aliens.


    A quantitative change led to a qualitative change, from the initial 25.4% gradually breaking through to 26%, 26.5%¡­


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique and Physical Quality were continuously improving as if there were no bottlenecks.


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, on the ninth floor of the main office at Outpost Base Number Three,


    ¡°Commander.¡±


    ¡°In these past ten days, apart from that Martial Artist who died in battle, the majority of the teams that are registered at the base and went out to brave the wilderness have records of resting at the observation points,¡± a tall and thin Martial Officer reported solemnly, ¡°But Xu An has no such record. Over these ten days, it¡¯s as if he vanished into thin air.¡±


    ¡°No record of him? He didn¡¯t return to an observation post?¡± Liu Jing inquired.


    ¡°No records,¡± the tall and thin Martial Officer replied. ¡°We can only rely on the positioning from the smart wristband to confirm he¡¯s continually on the move; he should still be alive.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I understand. You may leave,¡± Liu Jing said, without any further directive.


    Once the room was left to himself,


    ¡°Beep~¡±


    Liu Jing clicked to project, and rapidly a series of videos appeared, all showing first-person scenes of Li Yuan in combat with numerous aliens.


    They were all uploaded here to Liu Jing.


    ¡°Truly insane.¡±


    ¡°In ten days, the kill count is higher than a normal squad,¡± Liu Jing felt deeply inside, ¡°Looking at the comprehensive information records, is it really non-stop fighting?¡±


    ¡°Hmm, enough to merit a perfect score for surviving through peril.¡±


    As for an eighteen-year-old youth, Liu Jing felt there was no need to be overly critical.


    Too much is as bad as not enough.


    ¡­


    January 13, 2044.


    Atop a nondescript mountain peak about 600 kilometers from Outpost Base Number Three,


    on a huge rock,


    Li Yuan was standing there, gripping the long spear in his hand, its tip pointing ahead as though perceiving something.


    Gradually,


    Li Yuan no longer seemed so out of place, but rather blended vaguely with the surrounding scenery, a very mystical sight.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± The long spear thrust forward swiftly in a circle like lightning, then instantly retracted.


    Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his peripheral vision couldn¡¯t help but glance at the Divine Palace panel:


    [Life Level: 16.8 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 24,400 kilograms


    Speed: 70.2 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: level 26.9


    Willpower: level 30


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 28.9% (Current limit 30%)


    Star Meridian: level 10


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 5%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 6%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ¡­


    ¡°I feel my progress is fast enough,¡±


    ¡°But advancing in Fifth Stage Spear Technique is still significantly slower than when it was at the Fourth Level,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°With 1.1% to go in Spiritual Awakening Level, keep up the effort.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan leapt lightly and dashed down the mountain like a monkey, searching for other alien life forms.


    Moments later,


    His spiritual power extended outward, sensing his surroundings. Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head toward a forest not far away.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    In the distance among the trees, three figures dressed in light purple robes, each wielding weapons, were rapidly jumping towards him.


    ¡°Human Martial Artists?¡± a flicker of confusion passed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Something¡¯s off, why didn¡¯t my smart wristband alert me to the approach of Martial Artists?¡±

 Chapter 206 - 171: Human Race? Alien Race! Kill!

    Chapter 206: Chapter 171: Human Race? Alien Race! Kill!


    Within a 1000 kilometer radius of the war base, the signal was quite decent.


    If the base wished, it could contact human martial artists in the area at any time, even roughly locate them using intelligent ring-tablets, though it could be difficult to contact them directly beyond 1000 kilometers.


    By using the positioning system, if human martial artists came within 3 kilometers of each other within the 1000 kilometers, they would usually receive an induction to prevent friendly fire.


    Not detecting anything?


    There were three possible explanations: one was that the martial artists didn¡¯t want to reveal their whereabouts and had turned off their intelligent ring-tablets¡¯ positioning.


    Another was that the intelligent ring-tablets were lost or broken.


    ...


    And the last possibility was¡ªthe others weren¡¯t human martial artists, but aliens.


    Still, this area was only 600 kilometers from the Human Race¡¯s war base and was rather within their sphere of influence.


    Would a strong member of the Tianliang Civilization come all the way here to kill?


    ¡°Just judging by the attire, they resemble our human martial artists.¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his body like a gust of wind, vanishing into the slightly dim forest.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current skills, although he hadn¡¯t deliberately practiced the art of assassination, after achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, his stealth ability was not at all inferior to that of some formidable assassins.


    After all, what is stealth? It is essentially merging with the environment, so that others cannot detect you.


    And a warrior of Unity of Heaven and Man seeks precisely that¡ªto become one with the universe.


    Understanding one art enlightens a hundred others.


    A warrior of Unity of Heaven and Man could rapidly master various skills and techniques that ordinary people would have to train for a long time.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan projected his senses outward, his perception astonishing.


    He noticed early on the three faint purple figures shuttling through the forest.


    But these three faint purple figures did not detect Li Yuan¡¯s presence at all.


    ¡°Number two, number three, keep a close eye on our surroundings, stay alert, we¡¯ve entered the activity range of the Seven Star Civilization, we might encounter human martial artists at any time,¡± said the tall, thin man with unkempt hair, while scanning the surroundings attentively.


    His face bore some resemblance to the people of Xia Country, only his skin was a bit darker, and his pronunciation was peculiar, speaking a language completely different from that of the Human Race.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re disguised so well that even if they see us from a distance, they might not recognize us.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re just in charge of the alert exploration, the capture and pursuit is for the captain and the others. Judging by the time, the captain should have caught them by now.¡± The other two purple-cloaked figures, carrying weapons, responded in low voices.


    The three of them formed a loose combat formation, continually surveying their surroundings with sharp eyes, as if searching for something.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± The leader in purple robes shouted suddenly, sensing something, this time using the rather awkward Xia Country language.


    The other two purple robes were startled as they had not sensed anything yet.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Without a sound.


    About fifty meters to the side of the three, a figure clad in black suddenly appeared from the dense forest, a young man holding a black long spear, with an innocent smile on his face.


    ¡°Sirs, it¡¯s me, so glad to have finally found some living people.¡± The young man in black waved his long spear excitedly and shouted loudly.


    This voice echoed in the forest, very conspicuous, a perfect match for the young man¡¯s smiling face.


    The three purple-cloaked figures exchanged glances.


    ¡°It¡¯s a human martial artist, quite young, probably just resting there earlier,¡± whispered the leader in the tall purple cloak, ¡°perception of life force suggests around level 17; we¡¯ll observe if there¡¯s anyone else first, and capture him for questioning as soon as he gets close.¡±


    Level 17?


    This made the other two purple-cloaked figures relax their guard subconsciously, for they were both level 18 warriors, and their captain was approaching level 19.


    The disparity in physical quality by one level meant an astounding difference in strength.


    ¡°Young brother, which team are you from?¡± The man in the tall purple cloak showed a slight smile, leading the others to greet him proactively.


    ¡°I¡¯m from the Suzuki squad.¡± The young man in black responded cheerily, ¡°It¡¯s my first time here, and I got separated from them. Which martial artists¡¯ team are you seniors from?¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°Suzuki squad? I¡¯ve heard of it,¡± the tall man in the purple cloak answered Li Yuan while keeping up appearances.


    The distance of several dozen meters between them closed quickly, and within a few seconds, both sides approached within twenty meters of each other.


    In the next instant.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two figures beside the tall purple-cloaked figure burst forth simultaneously, their speed skyrocketing in a moment, attacking the young man in black from the left and the right.


    ¡°With Wei Lao and Zhen Hong¡¯s strength, they should be able to capture him with three or two moves when working together.¡± The tall man in the purple cloak thought as much.


    However, contrary to his expectations.


    The young man in black didn¡¯t panic or get bewildered as he had imagined; instead, he burst out almost simultaneously, faster and more ferocious.


    ¡°Not good, he¡¯s been hiding his strength,¡± the face of the tall purple-cloaked figure changed, and he immediately exploded into action, drawing his combat saber in a flash, attempting to rescue his two companions.


    But it was too late.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Three figures collided like lightning in mid-air.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The long spear whistled, emitting a terrifying shriek as it thrust straight at the two figures in purple robes.


    Too fast.


    The power and speed unleashed by Li Yuan in an instant left all three purple-cloaked people shocked and terrified.


    ¡°Be careful,¡± the tall purple-cloaked figure instinctively let out in his native tongue.


    Thud~thud! Thud!


    Figures crossed, spears crossed, and right afterward a torrent of blood sprayed out.


    A massive bloody hole appeared instantly in the necks of the two purple-cloaked figures.


    Their weapons clanged to the ground, and their bodies crashed into the grassland.


    Until death.


    The eyes of the two purple-cloaked figures bore an expression of disbelief. How could a young man supposedly at level 17 become so formidable all of a sudden?


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan, having killed two with one strike, did not pause for an instant and collided with the tall purple-cloaked figure like lightning.


    ¡°Die!¡± the tall purple-cloaked figure roared, moving like a ghost, wielding a weapon resembling a huge combat saber.


    As the strongest among the three, he was also stunned by Li Yuan¡¯s explosive attack.


    But in such a close-quarters burst, it was already too late for him to retreat. With no other choice but to fight, he prepared to confront Li Yuan.


    ¡°Facing a long weapon with a short one, just need to seize a sliver of chance to get in close, and there¡¯s a chance to win.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, this Seven Stars individual¡¯s Life Level isn¡¯t as strong as mine. If I can just block one wave, I¡¯ll be able to escape.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s long spear came whistling in his hand, instantly creating dozens of phantoms. The spear tip howled as if countless glimmers enveloped him.


    It was one of the five deadly moves of Stellar Spear Technique, the ¡®Stellar Illumination.¡¯


    This was a defensive move, but if the realm was high enough, it could also be used as a slaughter move.


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Countless spear shadows howled. Although Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality was much weaker, his spear was much faster than the slender figure in the purple robe, accurate and extremely ruthless.


    One spear thrust followed another.


    He completely took the initiative.


    Each thrust sent a chill down the slender figure¡¯s spine, as if walking along the edge of death, he didn¡¯t have time to think and could only wield his combat saber to block with all his might.


    Nine collisions in a row.


    Under the terrifying force, the surrounding mud and stones blasted and flew everywhere.


    ¡°Rise.¡± Li Yuan bellowed, his long spear danced in his hand, and he suddenly swung it down heavily onto the slender figure¡¯s arms.


    After this collision, the figure in the purple robe could no longer resist. The terrifying impact sent him flying uncontrollably into the air. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Strength starts from the root.


    As a first and second rank warrior who couldn¡¯t yet fly, one wouldn¡¯t let oneself be air-borne lightly in the heat of close combat.


    Spurt!


    ¡°Thud!¡± Seizing the opportunity, Li Yuan followed with a straight thrust. His long spear howled, and immediately, a blood hole appeared on each of the slender figure¡¯s shoulders.


    The arms were almost torn apart.


    ¡°Bang~¡± The slender figure in purple smashed heavily against a nearby mountainside, kicking up countless fragments. The intense pain in both arms made it impossible for him to hold onto his combat saber any longer.


    ¡°Clang~¡± ¡°Clang~¡± The combat saber fell to the ground.


    The slender figure also landed from the mountainside and barely stood up, completely bereft of fighting ability.


    Boom! A black figure flashed in.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± Another spear shadow flashed past.


    Crack~ The sound of two knee bones shattering rang out.


    The knees of the purple-robed slender figure burst open, instantly turning bloodied and blurry, he could no longer endure and, with his face to the ground, crashed down to his knees.


    Both arms and knees were disabled, and he lost the ability to move.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Another kick sent the slender figure in the purple robe flying several meters, landing heavily.


    He lay on his back, bloodied and battered, and moving became difficult after being struck repeatedly.


    However, given his strong vitality, nonsfatal injuries to the heart and head meant he wouldn¡¯t die in a short time.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan stood five meters away and did not approach, just stared coldly at the slender figure.


    Better safe than sorry, even with an overwhelming advantage, one must remain cautious.


    Indeed.


    If it wasn¡¯t for wanting to capture a live one for interrogation, Li Yuan could have killed him within five moves with his strength.


    ¡°Tianliang Clan¡¯s, you understand the human language.¡± Li Yuan spoke indifferently, ¡°I ask, you answer, I promise to give you a quick death. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it.¡±


    ¡°Regret?¡± The figure on the ground sneered, ¡°Seven Stars human, don¡¯t expect to pry anything useful from my mouth. Don¡¯t underestimate the willpower of the Tianliang Clan, you¡¯d better kill me quickly.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, once our people arrive, you¡¯re certainly dead,¡± the figure in the purple robe said venomously, his life force draining, he felt himself slipping away.


    Moving toward death.


    ¡°Your people?¡± Li Yuan smiled lightly, ¡°So, you have quite a few people coming?¡±


    ¡°Hmph.¡± The figure in the purple robe snorted and spoke no more.


    ¡°One must drink punishment for refusing a toast.¡± Li Yuan shook his head lightly, and now he took out a tan pill.


    Buzz~


    Enveloped in a black battle garment, Li Yuan swiftly moved in front of the figure and forced the pill into his mouth, making him swallow it by force.


    ¡°Origin Power Battle Suit?¡± The figure in the purple robe was shocked, then sneered, ¡°No matter what the drug, don¡¯t expect to¡­ Ahh!¡±


    His body started to tremble violently.


    ¡°A special interrogation drug.¡±


    ¡°One costs ten thousand Blue Star Coins.¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Almost as painful as one-tenth of the Hundred Marrow Spirit Decay¡­ Let¡¯s see if your bones are tough enough.¡±


    Li Yuan had prepared 20 of these pills, specifically for the Alien Race.


    Being able to train to a High Level Warrior, ordinary pains, like severed hands and feet, they could withstand quite easily.


    Special methods were required.


    Just dozens of seconds later.


    ¡°I¡¯ll talk.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you everything.¡± The figure in the purple robe could no longer endure it, wailing in agony.


    ¡­


    Soon, Li Yuan obtained the intelligence he wanted from the purple-robed figure.


    Without hesitation.


    Li Yuan dialed the base communication and quickly reported his situation.


    ¡°Xu An, you did very well,¡± came the voice over the comms.


    ¡°This is information we did not know.¡±


    ¡°However, Observation Point 19 has already come under heavy attack from the Tianliang strong beings. According to the rescue request from the observation point, there should be no second rank fighters.¡± The voice on the communication sounded heavy, ¡°We¡¯ve dispatched support squads by flyer to Observation Point 19¡­ but flying is very risky and may not arrive in time.¡±


    ¡°The nearest ones.¡±


    ¡°Two warrior squads are already on the way to rescue, and we hope you can also go to support,¡± the voice continued.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll set out immediately,¡± Li Yuan said somberly. Observation Point 19 was already under siege?


    ¡°What about this Tianliang?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Execute him on the spot!¡±

 Chapter 207 - 172: Demon Blood Spirit Crystal (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 207: Chapter 172: Demon Blood Spirit Crystal (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    After ending the call.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t waste any words. He stood up, waved his long spear, and struck down the purple-robed figure lying on the ground, already nearly unconscious.


    The head was split in two, dead beyond any doubt.


    ¡°[You have consecutively killed Entry Rank creatures and obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment, bringing your Spiritual Awakening Level to 29%]¡±, the Divine Palace panel showed a prompt.


    In fact, why was Li Yuan so certain these trio were from an Alien Race, and not Seven Stars humans?


    It wasn¡¯t because he understood their conversation, nor did he detect too many clues.


    ...


    It was simply because the inquiry from the Divine Palace reminded him that killing them would yield ¡®Spiritual Nature nourishment¡¯.


    This kind of prompt only appeared for Alien races.


    ¡°No matter how good their disguise, they can¡¯t escape the inquiry of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.¡± Li Yuan glanced over the corpses with a sharp gaze.


    In fact, had Li Yuan not killed the Tianliang individual, with their injuries, their death was all but certain if things persisted.


    Moreover, in The Wilderness¡¯ jungle, losing the ability to move was akin to awaiting death, you never know when some beast-like Alien Race would be attracted by the scent of blood.


    ¡°Pursuing a human? Why?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, pondering the intelligence he had just obtained.


    The content of the intelligence was not plentiful, mainly two points.


    First, those killed by Li Yuan were merely ¡®First Rank warriors¡¯ among the Tianliang Clan, sent to the Mingxu Star Realm by orders, which was essentially similar to the military martial artists of the Human Race civilization.


    Second, as a large squad, they were ordered to pursue a human warrior¡ªa chase that spanned hundreds of kilometers.


    Who exactly was this human warrior? Why were they being tracked? They had no knowledge of this, at least not these three warriors.


    ¡°A large squad of the Tianliang Civilization, with at least over 50 Tianliang warriors,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°there must be more than one Level 19 warrior.¡±>


    The Seven Stars Human Race civilization and the Tianliang Civilization had not only encountered each other in the Mingxu Star Realm but also through other Star Realms. Although they didn¡¯t wage war as insanely as the Alien Civilizations behind Rob Sea, they had always been at odds with each other.


    Over the years, both civilizations actually had a good understanding of each other, with a certain grasp of the language, culture, technology, history, and many other aspects.


    This was why, once Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace inquiry confirmed the others were ¡®Alien Races,¡¯ he did not hesitate to take action and execute a slaughter.


    There was no need to question why.


    According to the ¡®code of conduct¡¯ given by the base, any strong beings from the two large Alien Civilizations encountered within 1,000 kilometers of the base could be attacked directly.


    Clang~


    Li Yuan quickly searched the three bodies but found not many valuable items.


    Weapons? Combat Armor? They were only First Rank mid-grade weapons, not very valuable, and Li Yuan had no place to put them anyway.


    There was even less of other things, mostly just food.


    ¡°Hmm, a Life Detector? First Rank.¡± Li Yuan grinned as he found something truly valuable on the strongest Tianliang being.


    He took it off.


    This was a technological product of the Tianliang race.


    It was somewhat similar to the ¡®Life Vitality Detector¡¯ of the Seven Stars Human Race Civilization but of better quality and truly miniaturized, capable of being carried around.


    Li Yuan had the Divine Palace inquiry, which was more accurate, and he didn¡¯t need this device.


    Even though this palm-sized Life Detector appeared to be only First Rank and could only detect up to Level 20 Life.


    However, once Li Yuan handed it over to the base, he could sell it for several million Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Perhaps, the Life Vitality Detector used by our Seven Stars Human Race civilization was initially inspired by this device,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In some ways, war continuously promotes the development of technology.


    It forces a civilization to grow stronger, to prevent the entire civilization from extinction.


    For hundreds of years, through collisions and exchanges with a myriad of Star Realms and a multitude of Alien Civilizations, the Seven Stars Human Race civilization has made leaps in both technology and the cultivation civilization.


    ¡°Beast-kind civilizations tend to be weak in terms of technology.¡±


    ¡°But many humanoid civilizations possess very powerful technologies, many of which are much stronger than those of the human race,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    This information may not be clear to ordinary people, but it was no secret to Prime Warriors.


    Li Yuan had perused a considerable amount of data from Starfire Martial Hall and was very aware of this fact. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Because of this.


    The entire Seven Stars Human Race civilization was filled with a sense of crisis, striving to develop martial arts and technology to become even stronger.


    Though it might seem slow, Li Yuan had taken only tens of seconds to search the bodies, casually putting the Life Detector into his close-fitting backpack.


    ¡°Observation Point 19?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Yuan briefly discerned the direction, then set up ¡®directional guidance¡¯ on his smart wristband.


    A straight-line distance of 40 kilometers!


    ¡°With full-speed assault, I should be able to arrive within 20 minutes. I hope they can hold on,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly. His figure moved, his speed soared to over 50 meters/second, turning into a streak of light that shot out, rushing towards Observation Point 19.


    A large squad of Tianliang warriors?


    To breach an observation point wouldn¡¯t be difficult, even without carrying technological weapons.


    ¡°Just 1% shy of reaching a 30% level of Spiritual Awakening,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with a fierce light.


    I¡¯ll use you as my experiment.


    ¡­


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Seven Stars Human Race civilization, aside from forward operating bases, was divided into Observation Points and Information Points.


    Information Points, for example, included regions highly suitable for the cultivation of various precious medicinal herbs or mining areas for ore veins.


    Observation Points, often located at the farthest boundaries of activity, served the purpose of surveying and monitoring tens of kilometers around to serve as early warnings.


    They also provided temporary rest areas for the many martial artists training in the outermost zones.


    Observation Point 19.


    It was one situated on the outskirts, far from the war base, a hidden Observation Point inside a mountain. The belly of the mountain was mostly hollowed out. From the outside, it looked unremarkable, not much different from a common small hill, but the interior was complex and intricate.


    For the past several decades, it had been safe.


    But today, Observation Point 19 faced a catastrophe.


    The outermost defenses of the Observation Point had been breached.


    ¡°Dada dada!¡±


    Ferocious fire spat out as more than ten metal bullets sealed off a passage over ten meters wide, completely suppressing the several dozen Tianliang warriors outside.


    In such a confined space.


    Even for a Level 19 powerhouse, it would be extremely dangerous to forcefully charge against the flow of metal bullets through the passage.


    ¡°What assholes.¡±


    As the corridor outside echoed with their discontent, a monster-like brute towered over the rest. Standing well over two and a half meters tall, clad in black combat armor, his eyes seemed to spit fire.


    The surrounding Tianliang Clan warriors remained silent.


    ¡°Captain Logan, what should we do?¡± Another squat, plump man asked in a deep voice. ¡°We all know that these Seven Stars Human Race observers might have other passages. If we delay, they might escape.¡±


    ¡°Most importantly, we¡¯re very close to the Seven Stars Human Race base. They¡¯re definitely calling for backup. Once the Prime Warriors arrive, we¡¯re all dead.¡±


    ¡°Failing to bring back the mission target will also mean big trouble for us.¡± The squat, plump man said as he looked at the other, ¡°Lord Xue Shu will not let us off easily.¡±


    Clearly.


    Among the forty-plus Tianliang Clan warriors present, these two stood at the highest rank.


    ¡°Mo Long, you don¡¯t need to remind me,¡± the burly Logan said with an icy voice. ¡°I know the consequences of failing a mission better than you do.¡±


    ¡°Stop hesitating, let¡¯s go all out and pave the way.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    The two powerful Tianliang Clan leaders hesitated no more. They each took out a small vial from their bosoms and gently opened it to reveal a blood-red elixir inside.


    They swallowed it down without a second thought.


    The sight of the blood-red elixir sparked a flicker of envy in the eyes of the surrounding Tianliang Clan warriors.


    Boom! The skin of both the hulking Logan and the squat brute seemed to turn fiery red. Even veins of crimson energy could be seen coursing across their skin.


    It was a special Heavenly Materials Treasure of the Tianliang Clan called the ¡®Demon Blood Spirit Crystal.¡¯ Once consumed, it would significantly increase their strength and speed for a short period and even bestow them with a hint of special Origin Power.


    The effect was insignificant to Prime Warriors, but to those of the First Rank of life, it was a substantial boost in strength with virtually no side effects. Instead, after the effect wore off, it would slightly improve their overall physical quality.


    Such a medicine was precious, something ordinary First Rank fighters couldn¡¯t possibly obtain.


    This time, however, the mission was special.


    Both captains, whose Life Levels exceeded rank 19, were each given one so that they could use it at a critical moment.


    Clang! With a shattering sound, the bulging armors of the formidable Logan and Mo Long now fully encased their bodies.


    ¡°We charge, and you follow.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Logan roared lowly.


    Boom! Bang! Both warriors, one wielding a combat saber and the other a gigantic battle axe, charged into the corridor side by side in a blur.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± Countless metal bullets rained furiously on them, drastically reducing their speed with their formidable impact, but those numerous bullets were immediately blocked by the swirling crimson energy mingling with their armor.


    ¡­Inside Observation Point No.19, dozens of Human Warriors each held weapons with eyes narrowed in high tension, scrutinizing the corridor.


    The ranged weapons were directly operated by the observation point¡¯s intelligent system.


    ¡°Captain.¡± Shi Xiao gripped her combat saber, her eyes ice cold, fixated on the corridor.


    ¡°Relax.¡± Standing beside her, Captain Wu Qiong, appearing to be in her thirties with the mature air of a woman, whispered, ¡°Your strength is second only to mine in the squad, but your experience is still lacking.¡±


    ¡°This is a fight for life and death.¡±


    ¡°First, we need to remain calm,¡± Wu Qiong uttered softly, as a warrior who had battled for years in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Her Life Level stood at 19.6, and her experience was very rich.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Shi Xiao nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Captain Wu Qiong,¡± she reassured.


    ¡°With our stored ammunition, holding them back for over half an hour isn¡¯t hard,¡± the observer post¡¯s officer added in a low voice.


    ¡°Just a while ago, you said our external defense systems could hold for at least twenty minutes, but what happened?¡± Wu Qiong glanced at him coldly. ¡°Three of my team members are dead.¡±


    The officer fell silent at that.


    He too hadn¡¯t anticipated that this attacking force of Tianliang Clan warriors would be so fierce, each one surpassing level 18, undoubtedly an elite squad.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Damn, they¡¯ve breached.¡± Wu Qiong¡¯s eyes flashed coldly as she roared sharply, ¡°Prepare for battle! Kill!¡±


    Bang! Boom!


    As thunderous noises resonated, the two fearsome Tianliang Clan leaders, bracing against the metal barrage, darted through the corridor like lightning, swiftly destroying a multitude of the ranged weapon emitters.


    The dozens of Tianliang Clan warriors who followed surged in like a tidal wave.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Engage!¡± With no way to retreat, over twenty Human Warriors charged into battle with howls of determination.


    ¡°Scum.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t escape,¡± the formidable Logan growled, spotting his target and dashing forward like lightning.


    ¡°Your opponent is me.¡± Wu Qiong swung her long spear, positioning herself before him.


    ¡°Out of my way!¡±


    ¡­


    After spending about 23 minutes at full sprint, Li Yuan, guided by the map on his smart ring, finally arrived at the outskirts of the 19th observation point, located in the wooded hills.


    Just a brief survey of his surroundings caused his expression to darken.


    ¡°Bodies?¡± With a glance, Li Yuan noticed a large number of corpses around the perimeter.


    Many appeared to be from the Human Race, some wearing purple robes.


    This portion was clearly that of the Tianliang Clan warriors.


    There were also many other corpses, evidently belonging to the Seven Stars Human Race side.


    ¡°So many dead?¡± A hint of murderous intent crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Has the observation post fallen?¡± Doubt flickered through Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, soon followed by a slight movement of his ears. ¡°Sounds of battle?¡±


    ¡°Some are still alive.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan¡¯s figure shot like lightning, rushing straight into the broad corridor that lay revealed before him.

    Chapter 208: Chapter 173: Li Yuan! Full Force Explosion! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)


    Frontline Base Three, Level Six.


    In the vast conference hall, countless beams of light converged, forming two giant screen projections.


    One was a holographic projection of the map.


    Above it, aside from the undulating mountain ranges and rivers, a multitude of red dots were in motion, with some disappearing from time to time.


    The other was a live feed projection.


    What it showed was the brutal slaughter currently unfolding at Observation Point 19.


    ...


    The ling spear-wielding Wu Qiong, with an exceptional bearing, was locked in fierce combat with the burly, unshapely ¡®Logan,¡¯ and she was being completely overpowered.


    On the other side, the young Shi Xiao, also wielding twin blades, was teaming up with another 19th level Martial Artist to jointly restrain the hulking ¡®Mo Long.¡¯


    The other human warriors were similarly struggling to fend off the attacks from the Tianliang Clan warriors.


    However, with the top combat strength and overall numbers both at a disadvantage, the deaths of Wu Qiong and Shi Xiao seemed only a matter of time.


    In front of the screens, three figures furrowed their brows.


    They were the chief officers of Frontline Base Three and were all Prime Warriors.


    ¡°How far is the reinforcement squad?¡± The only woman in purple among the three asked sharply.


    ¡°Based on their current speed, it should take another 20 minutes to arrive,¡± replied the blue-clothed elder Liu Jing. ¡°They¡¯ve just encountered a large group of flying alien species¡­ losing a flyer, some had to proceed to the rescue on foot.¡±


    ¡°Within 100 kilometers of Observation Point 19, there are only three warrior squads. Wu Qiong¡¯s squad was the only one that could arrive swiftly¡­ but her squad alone isn¡¯t enough to hold on,¡± Liu Jing continued, ¡°The other squad will take at least another 15 minutes to arrive.¡±


    It was he who always took charge of the overall situation, and it was he who had arranged the rescue mission for Observation Point 19 this time.


    He paused.


    Liu Jing sighed, ¡°The crux is that the strength of this Tianliang Clan¡¯s fighting force is too formidable; the two leaders have even used ¡®Demon Blood Spirit Crystals.¡¯ Wu Qiong is among the strongest of High Level Warriors, yet in a one-on-one battle, she¡¯s completely at a disadvantage.¡±


    ¡°Even if the other squad arrives, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re no match,¡± Liu Jing assessed calmly.


    The conference room fell silent.


    The overall power of the Tianliang Clan in the Mingxu Star Realm was far greater than that of human civilization, and they could mobilize a stronger force than humans.


    ¡°I should have been allowed to go just now,¡± the other young man in white frowned. ¡°If I had been there, the support squad wouldn¡¯t have been delayed and would be nearly there by now.¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not possible.¡±


    ¡°Han Chong, I know what you¡¯re thinking,¡± Liu Jing addressed the white-clothed young man, ¡°but you must understand, today is just a minor conflict; we three can¡¯t take action thoughtlessly.¡±


    ¡°Without a major event, we cannot leave the outpost.¡±


    ¡°Except in a situation of extreme crisis, we can¡¯t leave within 300 kilometers of the base; that¡¯s the rule.¡±


    ¡°Violating it once might seem to have a benefit, but in the long run, it could bring disaster,¡± Liu Jing spoke softly. ¡°Once it attracts a Flying Heaven level native life-form, it won¡¯t just be these few Martial Artists dying, it could lead to the annihilation of our entire outpost.¡±


    ¡°Understood, Elder Liu,¡± the white-clothed young man said, his voice subdued. He, of course, knew the rules.


    But watching as human warriors were killed, his heart couldn¡¯t help but struggle.


    ¡°Sometimes, some casualties are inevitable,¡± Liu Jing sighed lightly.


    What human civilization established in the Mingxu Star Realm were only ¡®frontline bases.¡¯


    What is a frontline? Essentially a watchpost, meant for observation, information gathering, and minimal resource collection.


    Not an ¡®advance base,¡¯ or a ¡®garrison base.¡¯


    Therefore, whether it is Xia Country or the Seven Star Alliance, the resources invested in the Mingxu Star Realm were actually quite limited.


    In reality, the main theme of the Mingxu Star Realm was the fierce battle among several horrific Flying Heaven level beings leading their respective clans; mostly, they hunkered down in ¡®Ming Mountain¡¯ at the world¡¯s center and rarely paid any attention to the peripheries.


    For the Seven Star human civilization¡¯s outposts to survive in the long term, they must keep a low profile, avoid drawing the attention of Flying Heaven level beings native to the Mingxu Star Realm as much as possible.


    Refraining Prime Warriors from taking action is for this very reason.


    Prime Warriors taking action freely, if done too frequently, would inevitably attract the attention of powerful Second Rank alien species.


    Once a battle breaks out, should the situation become dire,


    The fearsome thermal weaponry capable of extinguishing top-ranked Second Rank alien species at the outpost would most likely draw out Flying Heaven level native life-forms.


    It would be a disaster.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Liu Jing¡¯s eyes suddenly brightened, ¡°No, perhaps there¡¯s a turning point.¡±


    ¡°Xu An has arrived,¡± Liu Jing announced.


    ¡°Xu An?¡±


    ¡°Who is Xu An?¡± Both the white-clothed young man Han Chong and the woman in purple showed puzzled expressions.


    They rarely handled specific affairs and were not up-to-speed with Li Yuan¡¯s matters.


    ¡°You will know soon enough,¡± There was a hint of expectation in Liu Jing¡¯s eyes.


    ¡­


    Observation Point 19.


    Whoosh! The moment Li Yuan rushed into the corridor, he saw several human corpses, their attire indicating they were ¡®ordinary people¡¯ stationed at the observation point.


    This scene involuntarily reminded Li Yuan of the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City.


    Back then, he had seen a large number of similar corpses.


    At this moment, Li Yuan¡¯s killing intent grew stronger.


    At the end of the corridor were three purple-robed figures brandishing blades, who had been casually conversing, seemingly assigned to perimeter watch.


    ¡°A Seven Stars human Martial Artist has come,¡± The three purple-robed figures immediately noticed Li Yuan, first tense, but then revealing contempt. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Only 17th level.¡±


    ¡°The Life Detector shows he¡¯s only 17th level,¡± one of the purple-robed figures said indifferently, ¡°Kill him.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t waste time.¡±


    Without hesitation,


    The other two purple-robed figures flipped their hands to produce throwing darts, and with a fierce motion, they hurled the darts toward Li Yuan with a whoosh.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    The speed of these darts was astonishing, instantly reaching supersonic speeds, and they were also extremely heavy. In terms of impact force alone, they far exceeded that of some bullets.

    Chapter 209: Chapter 173: Li Yuan! Full Force Explosion! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2


    ¡°`


    Being able to practice throwing darts to such an extent is also rare.


    Had it really been an ordinary Level 17 Martial Artist facing these suddenly erupting darts, they would certainly have been thrown into confusion, or even directly killed.


    At the very least, they would have been forced to retreat.


    ¡°Hidden weapons?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, and in an instant, his body moved, not retreating but advancing, transforming into a residual shadow as he charged toward his opponent.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    ...


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure seemed to blur, appearing to move in a straight line, but in reality, he was performing extremely small, lightning-fast movements¡­ Such movement was extremely difficult at super-high speeds.


    In a single encounter.


    Li Yuan had easily dodged more than ten whistling darts, completely crossing the corridor that was over fifty meters long.


    This was the Fifth Stage Skill ¡°Unity of Heaven and Man¡±.


    Feeling the heaven and earth spiritually, it allowed Li Yuan¡¯s Perception Ability to far exceed that of an ordinary First Rank strongman, easily able to anticipate each and every dart¡¯s trajectory.


    ¡°Bang~¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Those supersonic heavy darts, missing Li Yuan, then crashed into the walls on both sides of the corridor, burying deep into the metal walls.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°Level 19? Such fast speed.¡±


    ¡°The Life Detector is wrong.¡±


    ¡°And his skill is very strong, his movement technique is powerful.¡± The faces of the three Tianliang Clan warriors changed instantly.


    All of them were elite warriors surpassing Level 18, each with Third Stage skills.


    Although Li Yuan¡¯s movements were fast, with their eyesight, they could still barely make out his figure.


    They could naturally sense Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying strength.


    ¡°Escape.¡±


    ¡°Quick, go.¡±


    ¡°Meet up with the captain.¡± The three Tianliang Clan warriors didn¡¯t hesitate and turned to flee, each moving extremely fast.


    Confrontation? From the speed and movement technique that Li Yuan burst forth with, they judged that they were undoubtedly bound to lose.


    Leave it to the two captains instead.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and the three Tianliang Clan warriors chased and fled, both bursting forth with extreme speed.


    In just a few seconds.


    The two sides had passed through several corridors and two large halls, each one severely damaged, and some even partially collapsed, obviously having experienced fierce fighting. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    There were also quite a few human corpses, as well as a few Tianliang Clan warrior bodies.


    Swish! Swish! The three Tianliang Clan warriors retreated quickly.


    But Li Yuan was even faster in pursuit.


    In the state of Subtlety, Li Yuan, whose Life Level was originally 16.8, burst forth with speed and strength that could completely rival a Level 19 martial artist.


    After nearly ten seconds of lightning-fast chasing and fleeing.


    The originally faint sounds of combat had become extremely shrill and loud, along with roars and bellows from the deepest part of the observation point.


    Li Yuan, at last, caught up with the three fleeing Tianliang Clan warriors.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill.¡± Two of the Tianliang Clan warriors also decisively realized they couldn¡¯t escape, abruptly stamped their feet on the metal wall, turned around, and charged at Li Yuan explosively.


    They grasped the timing extremely precisely.


    It was like a Turnabout Spear technique, attempting to take down Li Yuan.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Two spear shadows streaked across the Vast Sky, like two bolts of lightning.


    Thud! Thud! The two Tianliang Clan warriors only felt a flash of cold light in front of their eyes, and Li Yuan had already swept past them, their necks stung as the spear¡¯s tip pierced through, leaving massive bloody holes, with blood splattering.


    Their bodies fell heavily to the ground.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± The two Tianliang Clan warriors could not believe it, unable to accept that they had died just like that.


    ¡°What?¡± The remaining living Tianliang Clan warrior was already stunned.


    Just one spear! And it killed two elite warriors?


    Was the gap in strength really that large?


    But what he didn¡¯t know was that the speed and strength that Li Yuan had burst forth with were already a large cut above, and if he couldn¡¯t finish them off in a single encounter, that would have been abnormal.


    When the gap in strength and speed between opponents is huge, there isn¡¯t much room for skill to play a role¡­ However, when the foundation is close or even superior, the side with superior skill truly reveals its terrifying aspect.


    ¡°`


    At 18 years old, Li Yuan¡¯s skills reached the ¡°Unity of Heaven and Man,¡± a feat that could leave a mark in the entire history of the Seven Stars human civilization.


    One can imagine how rare it is.


    At least within the First Rank of life, those who possess Fourth Level skills are very few, let alone Fifth Stage skills.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s speed hardly faltered, as he chased down the last remaining Tianliang Clan warrior with a whoosh.


    ¡­Within the vast hall.


    Dozens of Tianliang Clan powerhouses had completely suppressed the human warriors, with one after another of the latter falling dead.


    The battle was utterly one-sided.


    ¡°Kill! Kill them!¡± Wu Qiong, gripping his long spear and with a determined look in his eyes, was still desperately fighting the burly strongman Logan, looking for an opportunity to kill him.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± Shi Xiao, dual blades in hand, was still desperately fighting, but her heart was filled with despair.


    The old ghost is dead, Manzai is dead, Yu Hai is dead¡­ Of the nine warriors she had recently met in her squad, six had already been killed in battle, a heavy loss.


    The key was, Shi Xiao saw not a single glimmer of hope for victory, not even a chance to run.


    Almost all of the human warriors were in despair, simply making their last struggle and resistance.


    If they were going to die, they were determined to take someone with them.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! A purple figure was suddenly blasted into the entrance passage and crashed heavily against a pillar, before falling to the ground, drenched in blood with more bleeding from the neck, evidently not going to survive.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Many of the Tianliang Clan warriors reacted instantly, their attention drawn to the dark passage instinctively.


    Whoosh!


    And while the corpse was attracting attention, a shadowy figure merged into the hall under cover of darkness, directly pouncing to attack.


    ¡°Ptui!¡±


    ¡°Ptui!¡± A number of terrifying spear shadows blossomed. Several Tianliang Clan warriors had yet to detect the danger when they felt a chill in their throats, followed by painful stabs. They instinctively covered their throats but couldn¡¯t utter a sound.


    They fell one by one.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°An assassin! It¡¯s an enemy.¡± Many Tianliang Clan warriors, as if waking from a dream, finally noticed Li Yuan¡¯s presence, many glaring at him angrily.


    ¡°Reinforcements?¡±


    ¡°Just one person?¡± The human warriors still alive in the hall first felt a surge of spirit, followed by a flicker of disappointment in their hearts.


    Only one person came?


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Shi Xiao, who had already given up hope, lit up when she recognized Li Yuan¡¯s figure.


    Immediately after, Shi Xiao¡¯s heart tightened and she quickly said, ¡°Xu An, get out of here! Leave immediately.¡±


    Shi Xiao truly liked Li Yuan and naturally did not want to see him die with her.


    ¡°Senior sister.¡± Li Yuan also saw Shi Xiao, feeling a wave of relief in his heart.


    Fortunately, he had arrived in time.


    For Senior Sister Shi Xiao, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t say he felt any romantic affection, but since she had been good to him, he naturally did not want anything bad to happen to her.


    Boom!


    The moment Li Yuan rushed into the hall and grasped the entire situation, he burst forth with full power, charging at the short and stocky strongman Mo Long.


    ¡°Kill.¡±


    ¡°Kill him!¡± The other Tianliang Clan warriors roared furiously, brandishing their weapons, attempting to block Li Yuan¡¯s path.


    ¡°Ptui! Ptui!¡±


    Like a swirling tornado, with spear shadows flickering continuously, Li Yuan, erupting with his full power, instantly killed three Tianliang Clan warriors, merciless to the extreme.


    ¡°Boy, prepare to die.¡± A muffled growl emanated through the air.


    Boom!


    The short and stocky strongman who had been suppressing Shi Xiao and trying to kill her suddenly stopped his battle axe and, with a movement, charged towards Li Yuan, fast as lightning.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The axe¡¯s light crisscrossed through the air, with the axe head and long spear clashing. Li Yuan managed to fully withstand the attacks of the short and stocky Mo Long.


    ¡°Haha, exhilarating.¡±


    ¡°You seem stronger than the Alien Race opponents I¡¯ve killed before,¡± a glint passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°If I can kill him, I wonder how much my Spiritual Awakening Level will increase.¡±

    Chapter 211: Chapter 174 Battle of Life and Death (Extra for ¡®Nuan Yang 1314¡¯, the Golden Alliance Patron)_2


    ¡°Here it comes.¡± The dull voice arose as the massive Tianliang Clan Captain ¡®Logan¡¯, wielding a combat saber, swiped Wu Qiong aside and leaped into the fray.


    The recent exchange of blows had been observed by Logan with a sense of awe.


    Mo Long, even with the aid of the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal, was still not a match for a Seventeen-rank Seven Stars human?


    What a Seven Stars human talent.


    On the battlefield, Wu Qiong bit down hard and furiously tried to stop Logan but was instantly thwarted by other Tianliang Clan warriors blocking the path.


    ¡°Xu An!¡±


    ...


    ¡°His name is Xu An? Such formidable strength! But can he win in a two-against-one?¡± Other martial artists were both shocked by Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying power and filled with worry.


    Even if Logan and Mo Long were to deal with Li Yuan, the remaining Tianliang Clan warriors were more than enough to suppress them.


    Moreover.


    Everyone had witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s fight with Mo Long; except for Wu Qiong, if anyone else rushed in, it might just backfire.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Shi Xiao was worried inside, but refrained from rashly intervening, still trying her best to fight the other Tianliang Clan warriors.


    At that moment. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan was already locked in combat with Mo Long and Logan, the two Tianliang Clan captains.


    ¡°Pang~¡± ¡°Clang! Clang!¡±


    Long spear, combat saber, and battle axe collided time after time, forcing Li Yuan to change tactics or even retreat with each exchange.


    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡± Mo Long roared wildly, brandishing his twin axes, completely insane with the power of the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal for protection, he utterly disregarded defense, attacking full-force.


    ¡°Huh!¡± Logan¡¯s eyes were cold, and without a word, his combat saber was extremely swift and fierce.


    Both of them, in terms of technique, had achieved Perfection in the Third Stage, far from Li Yuan¡¯s level.


    However, the outburst from the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal made their strength and speed approach that of a Prime Warrior.


    At the moment, it was an all-out attack with no defense.


    For a while, they actually had Li Yuan completely suppressed.


    ¡°Stellar Illumination.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were battle-hardened, his long spear flowing continuously, the spear tip drawing countless stars, completely enveloping himself, followed by a total outburst.


    Each thrust was swift as lightning.


    Each thrust was naturally perfect, one faster than the last, holding off the mad onslaught from both powerful adversaries, like a beautiful painting that made people exclaim in awe.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°His spear, flowing endlessly, can actually withstand a joint attack from the two of us?¡± Mo Long and Logan were also stunned.


    Was the subtlety of the spirit really that formidable?


    ¡°Xu An!¡±


    ¡°So terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Such spear technique.¡± Both the human martial artists, like Wu Qiong, and the many Tianliang Clan warriors were astounded.


    Someone like Wu Qiong always considered herself to be among the top of the First Rank Warriors.


    But now? She saw a First Rank Warrior with much weaker physical quality but whose strength far surpassed her own.


    ¡°If it were me against two, I¡¯d probably have been injured or even dead by now.¡± Wu Qiong held her breath, her heart stirring: ¡°Maybe, I can survive today.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength, has actually reached such a level?¡± Shi Xiao was most shocked, for she alone knew Li Yuan¡¯s true details.


    Only half a year into the big leagues!


    ¡­ ¡°This spear technique?¡±


    ¡°Subtlety of the spirit?¡±


    ¡°Too perfect.¡± In an outpost base hundreds of kilometers away, three of the base¡¯s senior officers were astonished, for the level of such spear technique was far beyond their reach.


    ¡°Li Yuan? No wonder he hid his real information.¡± Liu Jing¡¯s eyes held a faint glimmer.


    ¡­


    The so-called Unity of Heaven and Man is the spear technique unintentionally blending with the environment, resulting in an even faster and more ferocious burst of power.


    Therefore, unless the observer is of extremely high caliber, it is very difficult to discern from the exterior.


    If Li Yuan truly only possessed the Subtlety of the spirit in technique, under the full-force assault of two near-Prime Warriors, he might have already been killed.


    Hiss~ Hiss! It seemed defensive, but Li Yuan also sought opportunities to counterattack, only each attack was blocked by that blood-red glowing light.


    ¡°Demon Blood Spirit Crystal.¡±


    ¡°It must be the special Tianliang Clan treasure ¡®Demon Blood Spirit Crystal¡¯ mentioned in the documents,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold: ¡°Once used, not only does it greatly enhance speed and strength, but that trace of Origin Power also forms a protective layer similar to an Origin Power Battle Suit.¡±


    ¡°However, this power is not infinite.¡±


    ¡°Hold on.¡±


    ¡°Until their power from the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal is drained.¡± Li Yuan had already made a decision in his heart.


    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡± Mo Long and Logan had gone completely mad, feeling that mysterious power inside them being rapidly consumed.


    Even more crazed.


    Colliding with each strike.


    Even if Li Yuan could defend perfectly, the terrifying impact still put a great strain on his body.


    Under the state of subtlety, the countless minute forces within his body, without any ¡®redundancy,¡¯ were like a string pulled to its limit, while their power exploded to its maximum, they were also prone to snapping.


    In less than a minute of fighting, Li Yuan felt the changes in his body; this pace would definitely lead to injury.


    Whoosh!


    With another fierce slash from Logan, Li Yuan no longer took it head-on but retreated like lightning.


    He seemed extremely ragged.


    Boom! The combat saber furiously struck the ground, instantly tearing a metallic crack over three meters long.


    ¡°He can¡¯t hold on much longer.¡±


    ¡°Kill.¡± Logan and Mo Long saw a glimmer of opportunity and chased after Li Yuan.


    ¡°How?¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t withstand it anymore?¡± Wu Qiong, Shi Xiao, and others were extremely worried and anxious.


    But the next moment.


    All those present, whether human martial artists or Tianliang Clan warriors, even Liu Jing and the young man in white Han Chong at the outpost base, witnessed a scene that stunned them.


    ¡­


    ¡°Really didn¡¯t want to burst forth under everyone¡¯s eyes.¡±

 Chapter 213 - 175: Clue to the Treasure (Extra 1)

    Chapter 213: Chapter 175: Clue to the Treasure (Extra 1)


    This Flying Axe was kicked into action by Li Yuan, having belonged to Mo Long who left it behind.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Logan, after all, was a master at his craft, with an astonishing combat awareness. He swung his saber in a backhand stroke, managing to block the Flying Axe. The terrifying force of the impact instead helped him to escape even faster, using the momentum to his advantage.


    ¡°These Tianliang Clan warriors, they really are decisive,¡± Li Yuan remarked with a slight frown, opting not to pursue.


    The opponent fled too quickly.


    Logan had started to flee even before Mo Long was completely dead.


    ...


    As a Level 19.9 powerhouse, bolstered by the strength contained within the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal that hadn¡¯t yet run out, if he truly wished to flee, Li Yuan would not be able to catch up.


    This was due to the difference in physical quality; after all, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level was only at 16.8.


    Furthermore.


    If Li Yuan were to chase after Logan, the other human martial artists inside the great hall would be in trouble, given that there were still nearly 40 Tianliang Clan warriors present.


    ¡°Run quickly.¡±


    ¡°Mo Long is dead, even Captain Logan has fled.¡±


    ¡°That damn Logan, he fled for his life without even warning us first,¡± other enraged and shocked Tianliang Clan powerhouses said, each seeking to save themselves.


    Even though these Tianliang Clan warriors were still suppressing the other human martial artists.


    But with the near-Prime Warrior strength that Li Yuan had displayed, he could probably sweep through all of them on his own.


    ¡°Thinking of escaping now? Too late!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold as ice, and with a swift movement, he pounced toward the Tianliang Clan powerhouses attempting to flee towards the hall¡¯s passageway.


    Not having killed Logan, he had already lost a substantial amount of Spiritual Nature nourishment¡ªhow could he let the other Tianliang Clan warriors get away?


    ¡°Hold them back.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t let these bastards escape.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Wu Qiong, Shi Xiao, and other human martial artists were heartened upon seeing this. They fought ferociously against the numerous Tianliang Clan warriors, preventing them from escaping.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Pfftch!¡±


    Having already revealed his Origin Power Battle Suit, Li Yuan no longer held back and erupted with full strength.


    A Level 18 Tianliang Clan warrior? One spear thrust!


    A Level 19 needed two or three thrusts.


    These Tianliang Clan warriors were exceptionally strong, each capable of matching a High Level Warrior.


    But before a fully unleashed Li Yuan, they were no match at all.


    Like a terrifying whirlwind, Li Yuan killed over thirty Tianliang Clan warriors in an extremely short time, and one after another, the Tianliang Clan warriors fell.


    Blood was everywhere, the scene was a complete mess.


    Li Yuan was killing frenetically.


    At the same time.


    ¡°[You have continuously killed Entry Rank creatures; Spiritual Nature nourishment obtained, Spiritual Awakening Level reached 29.2%]¡±


    ¡°[You¡­ Spiritual Awakening Level reached 29.3%]¡± The Divine Palace panel kept flashing notifications.


    ¡­


    A few minutes later.


    The great hall gradually quieted down, save for two Tianliang Clan warriors whom Li Yuan had deliberately crippled, the rest had been wiped out.


    The hall was now completely shrouded in the stench of blood.


    However, the human martial artists who had survived didn¡¯t care about that at this moment.


    All were sitting on the ground, strewn with rubble and blood, panting for breath.


    Such intense life-and-death battles severely drain both the spirit and physical strength.


    In their rest.


    These human martial artists couldn¡¯t help but look towards the black-clothed figure standing in the center of the great hall, their eyes filled with unusual respect and reverence.


    ¡°Xu An?¡±


    ¡°Too powerful.¡±


    ¡°If we¡¯re able to survive this time, we have to thank this warrior Xu An.¡±


    ¡°With such formidable skills, he¡¯s probably going to become a Prime Warrior before long.¡± Many human martial artists whispered among themselves.


    In this battle, Li Yuan had showcased incredibly formidable strength.


    He practically swept through the entire Tianliang Clan¡¯s squad by himself, including two great experts.


    His combat power was almost on par with some newly advanced Prime Warriors.


    Such a terrifyingly powerful First Rank martial artist was something most of the human martial artists present had never seen before.


    Time passed.


    Most martial artists felt gratitude towards Li Yuan and, after a brief rest, they got up to clean the battlefield, taking care of the bodies of the fallen human martial artists.


    They also piled up a large number of Tianliang Clan warrior corpses, meanwhile disassembling their belongings.


    The atmosphere was still quite oppressive.


    Since Li Yuan had arrived only in the last stage, and the most devastating casualties at the Observation Point No. 19 occurred when it was ambushed by the Tianliang Clan.


    The casualties were extremely heavy.


    Hu! Hu!


    Wu Qiong, Shi Xiao, and the person in charge of the observation point all approached Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan had put away his Origin Power Battle Suit and revealed his face again.


    ¡°Warrior Xu An, thank you for your lifesaving grace. If it weren¡¯t for you rushing over, we would have probably all perished,¡± said Wu Qiong with a very humble attitude and extreme politeness.


    In the past, she was very proud when facing other First Rank martial artists.


    But facing Li Yuan, she couldn¡¯t muster that pride.


    ¡°No need, coming to the rescue was my responsibility, it¡¯s a pity I arrived late, otherwise the loss wouldn¡¯t be this big,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, feeling somewhat guilty.


    If he¡¯d arrived ten minutes earlier, at least dozens of lives could have been saved.


    ¡°Coming so swiftly is already very commendable,¡± Wu Qiong shook her head, ¡°Our squad was able to arrive immediately because we happened to be preparing to rest at Observation Point No. 19.¡±


    ¡°Besides our squad and you, the other squads and reinforcements from the base have yet to arrive,¡± Wu Qiong said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    In this almost wild Star Realm, these observation points situated on the edge of the frontiers of outpost territories were extremely dangerous to begin with.


    Moreover, the precise attack of the Tianliang Clan on this place showed that the Tianliang Clan had probably scouted the area long ago.


    ¡°Shi Xiao, are you alright?¡± Li Yuan looked at Shi Xiao, who had disheveled hair and sweat on her forehead, completely lacking the elegance and calm she had at the school.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, just some minor injuries,¡± Shi Xiao shook her head, ¡°A bit of rest should be enough.¡±


    ¡°You know each other?¡± Wu Qiong said in surprise.


    ¡°Yes, Captain, I didn¡¯t tell you before,¡± Shi Xiao smiled, ¡°Xu An and I are good friends.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Good friends?¡± Wu Qiong showed a knowing smile, ¡°No wonder Xu An first rescued you as soon as he arrived.¡±


    ¡°We really are just friends,¡± Shi Xiao explained.


    ¡°Okay, you two chat,¡± Wu Qiong smiled, ¡°Warrior Xu An, I and the person in charge will go interrogate those two Tianliang Clan members first. In a short while, the reinforcements from the base should arrive.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the situation inside the hall, ¡°I¡¯ll first go to the observation point on alert. One managed to escape, so we still need to be cautious about whether the Tianliang Clan has any follow-up reinforcements.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll leave that to you,¡± Wu Qiong naturally agreed.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan held the long spear in his hand and walked toward the outside of the hall, followed by Shi Xiao, who took the initiative to stay close behind him.


    Shi Xiao stared at Li Yuan walking in front of her.


    For no apparent reason, Shi Xiao felt a surge of excitement in her heart. Although she was actually more than two years older than Li Yuan, at this moment, she experienced an inexplicable sense of security.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Shi Xiao silently recited in her mind.


    Not long ago, in the midst of that frenzied battle, she had nearly been killed by the Tianliang Clan warrior ¡®Mo Long¡¯ wielding dual axes.


    At that time, she had felt complete despair in her heart.


    At the critical moment,


    it was Li Yuan who arrived in time to save her, and it was he who, with his own strength, turned the tide of the battle, sweeping through the entire Tianliang Clan team and bringing an impact to her heart beyond imagination.


    Moreover, she had had a favorable impression of Li Yuan even before.


    Sigh! Sigh!


    The two of them turned through several corridors and halls, walked out of the tunnel through the mountain, and arrived at the outskirts of the observation point.


    The area was very quiet; if not for the corpses left behind from the previous fights, one would never have known that a fierce battle had just unfolded.


    ¡°Xu An, thank you,¡± Shi Xiao said sincerely.


    ¡°Senior Sister, there¡¯s no one else around here, no need to be so polite,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°How are you feeling? You¡¯re sure you¡¯re not injured, right?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Shi Xiao shook her head, sighing, ¡°It¡¯s just that in our martial artist squad, the group of older brothers and sisters I just got to know¡­ in the blink of an eye, more than half of them are dead.¡±


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    At school, Senior Sister Shi Xiao seemed brash and acted somewhat domineering.


    But after all, she was only 21 years old. A fierce battle like today, with its drastic ups and downs, was probably a rare experience for her.


    ¡°Venturing through the Star Realm, there are always casualties,¡± Li Yuan spoke in a low voice, his gaze drifting towards the distant forests. ¡°What we can do is to strive to make ourselves stronger.¡±


    ¡°Strive to survive,¡± Li Yuan said, looking at Senior Sister Shi Xiao.


    ¡°Yes, survive,¡± Shi Xiao replied, looking at Li Yuan and revealing a hint of a smile.


    ¡­


    In the woods.


    Whoosh! Logan, with the combat saber slung on his back, dared not pause for a second.


    He fled at an astonishing speed.


    Occasionally, he would follow along rivers, trying his best to wash away any scent that might linger on him or intentionally cross some cliffs.


    ¡°The Seven Stars human race will definitely send flying vehicles for support, and they might come to track me down,¡± he thought.


    ¡°I can¡¯t stop.¡±


    ¡°Once I¡¯m caught up with, just that Seven Stars human genius alone would be enough to kill me,¡± Logan thought anxiously, his mind racing: ¡°I need to avoid the main routes and take a detour.¡±


    At the same time,


    he was filled with anxiety and vexation: ¡°Not only did I fail to complete the mission, but my whole squad has been wiped out, even Mo Long is dead¡­ now it¡¯s just me left to go back alive.¡±


    Only himself left after the entire subordinate force was wiped out?


    He couldn¡¯t even imagine how Lord Xue Shu would punish him upon his return.


    But he dared not flee.


    This was the Mingxu Star Realm. Escaping alone and evading the Tianliang Clan¡¯s high level punishment might be easy, but then what?


    ¡°As long as I survive, as long as I don¡¯t die,¡±


    ¡°there¡¯s still hope,¡± Logan gritted his teeth, a tinge of resentment flashing in his eyes: ¡°And it¡¯s all your fault, you Seven Stars human genius. Wouldn¡¯t it be nice if you hadn¡¯t come?¡±


    ¡°I hope you get the information and come here in time,¡±


    ¡°at which point Lord Xue Shu is sure to slay him,¡± Logan thought secretly.


    At this point, it was highly probable that the information was leaked, and he could only pray for the best outcome.


    Whoosh!


    Logan continued onwards.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    Another martial artist squad arrived for support at observation post number 19.


    Then, the ¡®base rescue team¡¯ consisting of three flying vehicles finally reached the area.


    After initially understanding the situation, they began to help clean up the battlefield, clear the corpses, sweep up the rubbish at the observation post, and rebuild the heavy firepower defense system, among other things¡­


    However, these newly arrived human martial artists, drivers, technicians, and others all looked at Li Yuan with a completely different gaze.


    They had all heard from the surviving warriors about just how appalling the strength of ¡®Xu An the Warrior¡¯ in front of them was.


    When the time reached the evening of January 13th on Blue Star,


    observation post number 19 had started to resume operation.


    The sky still held the sun hanging above, for the Mingxu Star Realm did not distinguish between day and night, it was always daytime.


    ¡°Warrior Xu An.¡±


    ¡°Senior Liu Jing is requesting to speak with you, regarding clues about Heavenly Materials Treasures,¡± the person in charge of the observation point ran up to Li Yuan with great respect.


    ¡°Clues about Heavenly Materials Treasures? Great, let¡¯s go meet Senior Liu Jing,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled.


    Martial artists roaming the Star Realm, if they wanted to seize a huge fortune, usually had two ways to do so.


    The first was to explore and discover spirit lands or large veins with available resources.


    The second was to acquire some Heavenly Materials Treasures, many of which were highly valuable.


    During more than ten days in the Mingxu Star Realm previously, Li Yuan had been constantly dueling with strong warriors from alien races, honing himself.


    Treasure? He hadn¡¯t found a single one.


    Heavenly Materials Treasures were not so easy to come by, but now, there was a clue.


    ¡°If it¡¯s enough to provoke the Tianliang Clan to send a large squad to kill, and even to lay siege to an observation point,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°then the value of this treasure must be extremely high.¡±


    Heavenly Materials Treasures, though generally referred to as Third Rank treasures, also have their distinctions.


    High-value ones like the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal,


    and low-value ones like the Hundred Marrow Spirit Desiccation. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan followed the person in charge of the observation point and walked through the interior, which had been initially cleared up and was no longer a mess, reaching a conference room inside.


    In the projected hologram, the image of the old man in blue, Liu Jing, was displayed.


    ¡°Senior Liu,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly.


    ¡°Xu An, thank you for this time. We will record your contribution, report it,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile: ¡°Once the Combat Assessment is over, there will be a series of corresponding rewards.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly. The whole human civilization had a very well-established system of merit.


    ¡°Another matter.¡±


    ¡°That is, through the interrogation of the Tianliang Clan captives and questioning of our martial artist who fled back here,¡± Liu Jing said seriously: ¡°We can almost confirm that about 300 kilometers from observation point number 19,¡±


    ¡°in the area we¡¯ve marked as Flying Serpent Valley, Heavenly Materials Treasures have likely emerged.¡±


    ¡°The specific type, number, value, and whether it¡¯s mature enough to be utilized are all unclear right now.¡±


    ¡°Whether you¡¯re willing to take the risk is for you to decide,¡± Liu Jing said.

    Chapter 214: Chapter 176: Spiritual Awakening Level 30%


    ¡°`


    ¡°300 kilometers from Observation Point 19? That far?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, ¡°Senior Liu, how far is it from Outpost Base 3?¡±


    Observation Point 19 was already over 650 kilometers from the Outpost Base.


    ¡°Over 900 kilometers,¡± Liu Jing stated directly.


    Li Yuan fell into thought; 900 kilometers was neither far nor near.


    ¡°I must remind you that the area around Flying Serpent Valley is dominated by a very powerful group known as ¡®Flying Serpent,''¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Although we haven¡¯t detected any Second Rank Alien Race members, there are a large number of powerful aliens above level 18, and the signal transmission is very bad in that area due to its special environment.¡±


    ...


    Listening carefully, Li Yuan spoke, ¡°Senior Liu Jing, I need more detailed information about Flying Serpent Valley and everything about the interrogations you¡¯ve conducted.¡±


    ¡°No problem,¡± Liu Jing nodded.


    Time passed.


    With Liu Jing¡¯s narrative, supplemented with some text and video materials, Li Yuan completely understood the situation.


    The Tianliang Clan¡¯s attack on Observation Point 19 was not a planned invasion, but was instead caused by an exploration team led by someone named ¡®Wang Zhou.¡¯


    The exploration team usually surveyed hydrology and geography to find suitable locations for resource development for Martial Artists.


    The team Wang Zhou led had discovered a special area near Flying Serpent Valley. Before they could confirm what it was, they encountered warriors from the Tianliang Clan.


    After killing one Tianliang Clan warrior, the five-member team decisively retreated but were immediately pursued and attacked.


    In the end, only Wang Zhou managed to escape, and during the intense battle, his smart ring was damaged.


    Because of this, he was unable to report back immediately.


    Eventually, he reached Observation Point 19, thinking he was safe, but then the entire Observation Point came under attack¡­ until Li Yuan arrived.


    ¡°The smart ring was damaged?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, not finding it strange as such incidents were common.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°According to the intelligence brought by Wang Zhou, there are suspected Heavenly Materials Treasures in Flying Serpent Valley,¡± Liu Jing said solemnly projecting his image. ¡°And from the questioning of the two captives, there were similar testimonies regarding the exploration of ¡®treasures,¡¯ but they could not be completely confirmed.¡± S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Additionally, we have confirmed from the mouths of the two captives that there were over 200 Tianliang Clan warriors gathered this time,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°The strongest among them, named Xue Shu, is a Core Disciple from one of the three major sacred places of the Tianliang Clan.¡±


    ¡°200 warriors?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew cold, realizing that if they were all as powerful as the ones he had just encountered, it was indeed a very strong force.


    ¡°Senior, what is a Core Disciple of the sacred land?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°The three major sacred lands of the Tianliang Clan are somewhat akin to our human civilization¡¯s Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall, and Core Disciples are the elite of the younger generation in these sacred lands,¡± Liu Jing explained earnestly. ¡°Somewhat like the students of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, they are few in number, but highly skilled with many life-preserving tactics.¡±


    ¡°So they¡¯re not up to Level 20?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°Smart,¡± Liu Jing smiled.


    Li Yuan nodded to himself.


    It looked like these Core Disciples of the sacred lands were equivalent to the young geniuses of the Tianliang Clan, like himself.


    But their Life Level most likely would not reach Level 20.


    After all, once the Life Level reached 20, passage through the Star Realm¡¯s gateways became impossible.


    Any civilization would hardly be willing to leave such elites confined to one Star Realm forever.


    Just how skilled they were remained to be seen.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Over 900 kilometers is too far,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°We, as Prime Warriors, cannot commit to an action for a treasure so uncertain¡­ And if we were to send ordinary Martial Artists, the entire Outpost Base 3 only has a few hundred free Martial Artists in total.¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, our Seven Stars human civilization is indeed not as strong as Tianliang Civilization in the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Liu Jing admitted.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    It wasn¡¯t that the Seven Stars human civilization was weaker than the Tianliang Civilization.


    It was just that each civilization had different focuses and human civilization did not place much importance on the Ruins Star Realm, coupled with various regulations and constraints.


    As the base commander, Liu Jing and his peers naturally had limited forces they could mobilize.


    ¡°The other two main officers and I have been watching your battle all along,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Your strength is worth hundreds of ordinary Martial Artists¡­ If you go alone, the target is smaller, and there is a chance of success.¡±


    ¡°But it is extremely dangerous,¡± he added.


    ¡°So, the decision is yours,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°To go may yield great rewards, but is also fraught with danger, lots of Flying Serpents and hidden Tianliang Clan powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s even a possibility of encountering a Second Rank Alien Race,¡± Liu Jing did not deny.


    Li Yuan silently pondered.


    Liu Jing said no more; if the three great Prime Warriors dared not move, then the strongest combatant at Outpost Base 3 was Li Yuan.


    Given Li Yuan¡¯s Level 6 ranking in the Starfire Martial Hall, Liu Jing couldn¡¯t command him forcefully.


    After a while,


    ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look,¡± Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll see if there¡¯s a chance, and if I don¡¯t find it, I will return.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Liu Jing nodded. ¡°Wang Zhou¡¯s smart ring, though unable to connect to the network due to damage, still stored some videos and navigation records¡­ I¡¯ll transfer them to you.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡­


    Back at Outpost Base 3, Liu Jing ended his communication with Li Yuan, pondered for a moment, and then used a secure line to contact Li Yang.


    The line connected quickly.


    ¡°Li Yang, Li Yuan has made his decision and is embarking on the exploration,¡± Liu Jing reported directly.


    ¡°Good, I understand,¡± Li Yang¡¯s deep voice came through the communication. ¡°Please, the secret protection plan is to be activated only as a last resort.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t hurry to set out; considering the back-to-back intense battles, he was vastly tired and exhausted.


    ¡°`

    Chapter 215: Chapter 176: Spiritual Awakening Level 30%_2


    Therefore,


    Li Yuan stayed in the initially cleared ¡®Observation Point 19,¡¯ finding a quiet ¡®resting room.¡¯


    Upon closing the door, there were no surveillance devices inside the resting room.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes and silently cultivated the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡±, was something Li Yuan had to practice every day.


    Even when he was in The Wilderness for over ten days, he would find a safe cave to cultivate in.


    ...


    Of course, the most important reason was that Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was now strong enough.


    It allowed him to focus on his cultivation, while also keeping a vigilant watch over his surroundings.


    Time passed by.


    Before he knew it, four hours had passed, and Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling full of spiritual power and free of fatigue, as if there was an inexhaustible strength within his body.


    ¡°The two methods complementing each other are indeed formidable,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, flexing his arms slightly.


    All the minor injuries he had sustained during the fierce battle with the two experts were now fully repaired.


    He stood up.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to get ready to go,¡± said Li Yuan as he left the resting room and found the person in charge of the observation point.


    He replenished some food and drinking water, all of which he put in his backpack, taking up only a small portion of the space.


    At this time, Shi Xiao and Wu Qiong received the news and had already rushed over.


    ¡°You¡¯re really going?¡± Shi Xiao¡¯s eyes were full of worry as she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I¡¯ve checked the information, that area is very dangerous, and now there¡¯s a Tianliang Clan team there too.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s still not beyond 1000 kilometers from the outpost base,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°What we consider dangerous, maybe the Tianliang Clan are also trembling with fear, worrying that our Prime Warriors might come to kill them.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± he reassured.


    ¡°As long as I don¡¯t encounter a Second Rank Alien Race, there aren¡¯t many who can injure me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright,¡± said Shi Xiao, staring at Li Yuan and then suddenly said through gritted teeth, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you here at Observation Point 19.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback, glanced at Sister Shi Xiao¡¯s face, and then said with a smile, ¡°Alright, I will definitely be back within ten days.¡±


    Having said that,


    Li Yuan deliberately avoided looking into Sister Shi Xiao¡¯s eyes, gripped the Black Chen Spear, and strode outwards from the observation point.


    Shi Xiao subconsciously followed him out, accompanying him all the way to the perimeter of the observation point.


    ¡°Sister, go back,¡± Li Yuan waved his hand, his figure moved, and he swiftly disappeared into the vast Wilderness.


    On the hilltop,


    ¡°You must come back alive,¡± Shi Xiao murmured to herself, and before she knew it, Wu Qiong appeared by her side.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with Xu An¡¯s strength, he¡¯ll definitely come back alive,¡± Wu Qiong said softly.


    Shi Xiao nodded slightly, and then suddenly said, ¡°Captain, am I too weak? If my strength were stronger, I could¡¯ve accompanied him there.¡±


    ¡°Weak?¡± Wu Qiong was initially stunned, then smiled and said, ¡°You are so young yet so strong, and you have Fourth Level skills¡­ you will definitely be an extremely powerful Prime Warrior in the future.¡±


    ¡°You are already very outstanding,¡± she reassured.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that, Xu An is too exceptional,¡± Wu Qiong sighed softly.


    Wu Qiong didn¡¯t say some things out loud, but with her vast experience? She could already roughly guess their identities from the relationship between Shi Xiao and Li Yuan.


    They must at least be core students from one of the top five prestigious schools.


    Perhaps students from one of the top three elite martial schools.


    ¡­


    Stepping into The Wilderness once again,


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t follow the map¡¯s guidance to head directly towards ¡®Flying Serpent Valley.¡¯


    ¡°Heavenly Materials Treasures.¡±


    ¡°If I want to treat my uncle quickly, I will have to take some risks,¡± Li Yuan understood very clearly in his heart: ¡°It¡¯s going to cost at least a billion Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°With my strength, even considering national merit rewards and finding resource points normally, accumulating a billion Blue Star Coins would probably take several years of life and death struggles,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Money, not so easy to earn.


    Navigating the Star Realm, a slight misstep could lead to death.


    But Heavenly Materials Treasures, they are a shortcut¡­ With good luck, a single treasure could be worth billions of Blue Star Coins.


    Such incidents are not rare within the Seven Stars human civilization; occasionally, one might hear news of Prime Warriors or even First Rank Martial Artists striking it rich overnight.


    This was the main reason Li Yuan was willing to take risks.


    Secondly, the dangers of Flying Serpent Valley were overall within Li Yuan¡¯s tolerance range.


    ¡°Riches are sought amidst danger, but can also be lost there, a one in ten chance of gaining, nine in ten chance of losing,¡± Li Yuan recited silently in his heart.


    These were the words of caution from his uncle, Li Changzhou, before Li ventured to seek his fortune in the life-or-death Star Realm.


    One may take risks.


    But don¡¯t risk for the sake of risking, and certainly don¡¯t gamble on those one-in-ten or even lower odds benefits.


    Too dangerous means pushing oneself towards death.


    ¡°With my current strength, as long as I don¡¯t encounter a Second Rank Alien Race, I should basically be able to protect myself,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But according to the current signs, the likelihood of a Second Rank Alien Race appearing in the Flying Serpent Valley exceeds 20%.¡±


    ¡°It could be due to the Tianliang Clan¡¯s Prime Warriors or maybe a Second Rank native life form born in the Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    A 20% chance was already very high.


    ¡°Moreover, the known Tianliang Clan blood guard is stronger than those two team leaders,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°He might be a match for me.¡±


    And there were a large number of Tianliang Clan warriors.


    It could be said that with Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, venturing in was actually dangerous.


    ¡°What I need to do is to be able to survive in front of an Initial Rank Second Rank Alien Race,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shimmered with a hint of light, ¡°Even to the point of being able to counter-kill.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on a display of information on the Divine Palace panel:


    Spiritual Awakening Level 29.7% (Current Limit 30%)


    ¡­¡±As long as my Spiritual Awakening Level rapidly reaches 30%, followed by another Origin Power infusion, my Physical Quality will definitely surge immensely,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    An explosive increase in Life Level would naturally result in a significant improvement in strength and speed, and Li Yuan¡¯s capabilities would skyrocket.


    The only worry.


    Was that Life Level shouldn¡¯t increase too much at once, exceeding Level 20, or it would be unjustified.


    ¡°The previous two times, one resulted in an increase of about 0.7 levels, the other an increase of about 1.4 levels,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The third time should not exceed 2 levels.¡±


    Even if his Physical Quality truly increased several-folds, resulting in a 3 level rise, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t reach Level 20.


    So, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t very worried.


    Whoosh!


    With a swift movement, Li Yuan stepped into The Wilderness. His spiritual power, now back at its peak, was fully extended outward, fiercely sensing the presence of alien life forms.


    ¡­¡±Puff!¡± ¡°Puff!¡± Spear Technique flared, one after another, the beast-like creatures resembling ¡®wild boars¡¯ from the Alien Race fell continuously under Li Yuan¡¯s spear.


    ¡°[You have consecutively killed Entry Rank creatures, obtaining Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 29.8%]¡±


    ¡­


    And so, within the big picture, Li Yuan headed towards ¡®Flying Serpent Valley¡¯ across The Wilderness.


    Meanwhile, he kept on slaughtering, continuously seizing Spiritual Nourishment.


    Finally.


    Six hours later, by a large river approximately 100 kilometers from the outer area of Flying Serpent Valley,


    After killing more than a dozen Feather Serpents with Life Levels over 15,


    ¡°[You have consecutively killed Entry Rank creatures, obtaining Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 30%]¡±


    ¡°[Spiritual Awakening Level reaching 30%, initiating the third Origin Power infusion]¡± Two consecutive Divine Palace prompts flashed by.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, and then he felt the strange changes occurring on the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°Activate Star Meridian,¡± With a thought, Li Yuan controlled the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, also making sure to control the Origin Power infusion. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He dashed towards the distance.


    A kilometer away, there was a cliffside cave that Li Yuan had preliminarily inquired into as relatively safe.

 Chapter 216 - 177: Sudden Increase in Strength

    Chapter 216: Chapter 177: Sudden Increase in Strength


    Hurrying along the river path, covering a kilometer of distance.


    Li Yuan quickly arrived at the base of a tall mountain.


    The massive cliff face looked as though it had been cleaved by a combat saber, with hardly any vegetation growing on it.


    About forty to fifty meters above the ground, a faint cave entrance could be seen.


    This was the ¡°natural retreat sanctuary¡± that Li Yuan had discovered not long ago.


    Whoosh! With a light leap, Li Yuan rapidly scaled the cliff face, his feet tapping off protruding stones like a nimble monkey, and soon he sprang into the cave.


    ...


    The entrance of the cave was not large, about two to three meters high and four to five meters wide, but the interior was quite spacious, extending dozens of meters deep and, aside from some dust and debris, was relatively clean.


    ¡°This is the place,¡± Li Yuan scanned his surroundings, extending his spiritual power to its full capacity to confirm there were no other lifeforms.


    He moved to a deeper part of the cave and sat down cross-legged.


    ¡°Origin Power infusion,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind quickly calmed, striving to enter the state of ¡°Unity of Heaven and Man¡± while also letting go of his suppression of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    The next moment.


    Boom! The Star Meridian began to involuntarily circulate, as an endless surge of Origin Power wildly poured into Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    Turbulent and billowing.


    The purity and ferocity of the Origin Power were at least ten times stronger than the second time, placing an astonishing pressure on the Perfected Star Meridian within Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    ¡°Such pure Origin Power?¡± Li Yuan held his breath, slightly shocked in his heart.


    Fortunately, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was also much stronger than the last time he had undergone an Origin Power infusion, or else it would have been difficult to control in such a short time.


    ¡°Life Evolution.¡±


    ¡°Body,¡± with a thought from Li Yuan, he could feel within the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, strands of golden mist forming out of thin air.


    This mist drifted down the stairs, pouring into the ground of the first layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­ in reality, it was infusing into the limbs and bones of Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    ¡°This golden mist must be a strange power,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Without its integration into my body, I wouldn¡¯t be able to digest such a vast influx of Origin Power in such a short time.¡±


    Now that Li Yuan had become a level L6 member of the Starfire Martial Hall, with increased access to the database.


    He had also looked through many records on treasures that improve the Physical Quality of one¡¯s body and the spiritual world.


    Although he found no information about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    He had many speculations based on a trove of records.


    ¡°Normally, guiding Origin Power throughout the body, the muscles, bones, and flesh cannot quickly ingest and absorb it,¡± Li Yuan silently reflected.


    It¡¯s like eating, you can¡¯t eat more when you¡¯re full.


    Like Li Yuan practicing ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars,¡± or other Martial Artists practicing Cultivation Methods, there is a limit each day to how much one¡¯s Physical Quality can be enhanced¡­ Improving the Skill Realm and tapping into the body¡¯s potential, in a sense, is like increasing one¡¯s capacity to eat.


    But there are always limits.


    And some Heavenly Materials Treasures that can enhance Physical Quality in an extremely short time essentially transform the body fundamentally.


    Therefore, they are extremely precious and exorbitantly expensive.


    Without question, the core of the ¡°Origin Power infusion¡± brought about by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is not the guidance of Origin Power, but that this mysterious ¡°golden mist¡± can digest such an enormous amount of Origin Power.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s entire body¡ªmuscles, blood, bones, membranes, internal organs¡ªbegan an all-encompassing evolution and enhancement.


    ¡°[Your Life Level has been raised from 16.8 to 16.9.]¡±


    ¡°[Your strength has been raised from¡­]¡± Series of prompts swiftly flashed across the Divine Palace interface.


    This Transformation saw Origin Power merge into every part of Li Yuan¡¯s body, inducing dramatic changes and continuous Transformation.


    This physical Evolution represented a complete reorganization of the body, bringing about pain, yet Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power easily withstood it.


    Moreover.


    Most of Li Yuan¡¯s attention wasn¡¯t focused on the bodily Transformation; his main consciousness had already entered the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with his spiritual form reaching the second layer.


    Hum~ Hum~ Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Inside the vast palace, Li Yuan sensed the golden mist that kept forming in the void.


    ¡°Initially, I thought these mists were inherent to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, always present in the second layer,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°But now, it seems that¡¯s not entirely the case.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the golden mist is some ¡®Life Soul Substance¡¯ that the Mind Spirit Divine Palace mysteriously captures after I kill those of the Alien Race?¡± A notion suddenly flickered through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Thinking it over, he found the idea very plausible.


    This could perfectly explain why the effect of the Origin Power infusion jumped leaps and bounds with each attempt¡ªfrom the first to the third¡ªbecause the Alien Race members Li Yuan killed became increasingly stronger and more numerous.


    ¡°But why can it only be after killing members of an Alien Race?¡± Li Yuan also puzzled, ¡°And why isn¡¯t there a prompt for nourishing Spiritual Nature when I inquire into human Martial Artists?¡±


    At least, Li Yuan was still unclear about the criteria the Mind Spirit Divine Palace used.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin,¡± with a thought from Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual form, a portion of the copious mist immediately separated.


    It descended upon Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual form.


    Boom!


    Instantly, just like the first two experiences, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness grew dim and fuzzy, the surrounding spiritual world turned into an endless Dark Space.


    ¡°Life Star space,¡± with Li Yuan¡¯s enhanced spiritual power, his consciousness remained clear.


    Within the vast and expansive Life Star space, a trail of starlight flickered in the endless darkness.


    This was the ¡°Star Meridian,¡± awakened by Li Yuan, with over a hundred thousand Life Stars illuminating, providing some light to the Life Star space.


    Hum~


    Strands of starlight appeared, shining from the depths of the dark Starry Sky, subtly nourishing Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual consciousness.


    ¡°[Your soul has been nourished, spiritual power increased from 27.0 to 27.1.]¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power also began to undergo a Transformation and enhancement.

    Chapter 217: Chapter 177: Sudden Increase in Strength_2


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power entered his body and his strength continually transformed,


    In Blue Star Xia Country, at Kunlun Martial University, the time was already the morning of January 14th.


    Deep within the villa complex that belonged to the Sixth Institute,


    ¡°Dean Hai, as per your instructions, I have arranged for Li Yuan to face as many life-and-death trials as possible,¡± Li Yang said with a slight bow.


    He had just reported Li Yuan¡¯s situation in the Mingxu Star Realm to Dean Hai.


    ...


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°A treasure of extremely high value, possibly a Heavenly Materials Treasure, would be enough to attract his interest,¡± Dean Hai said indifferently, ¡°Li Yuan places great importance on his family. He wants to heal his uncle¡¯s body as soon as possible and is unlikely to give up this opportunity easily.¡±


    ¡°Dean,¡±


    Unable to contain himself, Li Yang said, ¡°Could this be too much too soon? Normal trials of life and death are already tests, there¡¯s no need for him to take this risk.¡±


    ¡°What risk? Worried that he might encounter a Second Rank Alien Race?¡± Dean Hai asked indifferently.


    ¡°Li Yuan is strong, but if he encounters a Second Rank Alien Race, even with covert protection, it would be extremely dangerous,¡± Li Yang shook his head and said, ¡°Wandering the Star Realm, death often hangs by a thread, and protection has its limits; aid might not arrive in time during critical moments.¡±


    He had been training Li Yuan, and sometimes he was reckless, but in actuality, he was quite rational.


    He wouldn¡¯t truly take major risks.


    ¡°The path, is one he chooses for himself.¡±


    ¡°Having educated him for over a decade, teaching him all sorts of knowledge about the Star Realm, providing him with an Origin Power Battle Suit, items to save his life¡­ and also informing him of the potential dangers, whether he goes or not, is also his own choice,¡± Dean Hai stated calmly, ¡°Good or bad, the outcome is his to bear. Making decisions and facing the consequences they bring, is also a form of spiritual tempering.¡±


    ¡°But what if something goes wrong?¡± Li Yang hesitated to say.


    ¡°If his decisions exceed his capacity to endure, then it shows that despite a series of trainings, he hasn¡¯t really grown,¡± Dean Hai said indifferently, ¡°If he can¡¯t withstand the trials, and he dies, then he dies.¡±


    Li Yang looked at Dean Hai in shock.


    He dies, just like that?


    That¡¯s almost certainly a superhuman talent destined to reach the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°This kind of training process is not just my decision, but the consensus of the higher echelons of human civilization,¡± Dean Hai spoke softly, ¡°Because his potential is enough, the tempering will be even harsher.¡±


    ¡°You have to understand,¡±


    ¡°For a genius like him, the highest authorities don¡¯t just hope he achieves the Flying Heaven Level, as that level doesn¡¯t determine the survival of human civilization¡­ But instead, they hope he can surpass the Flying Heaven Level,¡± Dean Hai said slowly.


    ¡°Surpass the Flying Heaven Level?¡± Li Yang gasped.


    Such beings, each one is a true member of the highest echelon of human civilization.


    ¡°Just like the ancient emperors, many were very bright when young,¡± Dean Hai stated calmly, ¡°But born in the deep palace, raised by the hands of women¡­ most turned out to be mediocre, even becoming muddle-headed.¡±


    ¡°Why? It¡¯s because their environment was too comfortable!! Those who have achieved greatness have all suffered countless hardships, which then transformed their mindset and willpower, finally achieving success.¡±


    ¡°Innate talent is just for a moment.¡±


    ¡°Postnatal refinement is what¡¯s crucially important.¡±


    ¡°With Li Yuan¡¯s talent, following the regular process he could indeed reach the Flying Heaven Level, but what next? To try and temper him at that time?¡±


    ¡°Raising a child, if you don¡¯t temper their nature and educate them properly at the age of a few or in their teens, would you wait to do it at the age of thirty?¡± Dean Hai shook his head.


    ¡°To the highest authorities, if someone has a truly ordinary talent, they are not so concerned.¡±


    ¡°But for an unparalleled genius like Li Yuan, during the training process, if nine out of ten die in the tempering,¡±


    ¡°As long as one is tempered and becomes a being that surpasses the Flying Heaven Level, the deaths of the other nine are worthwhile, a success,¡± Dean Hai asserted seriously, ¡°Besides, everything is guided in secrecy, for such unparalleled geniuses, there is no forced coercion.¡±


    ¡°Like this time, if he chooses not to venture forth and prefers stability, nobody would force him.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yang nodded.


    He got the message from Dean Hai.


    For unparalleled geniuses, human civilization¡¯s resources for training are top level, and they try their best with various methods of protection¡­ but they also guide them to face many dangerous tests.


    Only those who survive and make it through,


    Are more likely to achieve great success.


    Compared to the birth of a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors, the higher echelons of human civilization would prefer the emergence of one that surpasses the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm,


    About 900 kilometers from Outpost Base Number Three, lies ¡®Flying Serpent Valley,¡¯ which, despite its name, is actually a huge, elongated canyon shrouded in mist all year round.


    And about ten kilometers from this canyon, in a secluded valley, a large contingent of Tianliang Clan warriors was encamped.


    At this moment, the entire camp was eerily silent, all Tianliang Clan warriors looking toward the distance with a mixture of fear.


    ¡°Pang~¡±


    Accompanied by the whistling of a long whip, it struck heavily on the kneeling, burly figure.


    ¡°Useless! Useless!¡±


    ¡°How could you fail such a simple mission, and not only that, all your comrades are dead? Only you returned alive?¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you die out there?¡± a bizarre-looking young man dressed in a blood-colored robe said coldly, anger blazing in his eyes.


    All Tianliang Clan warriors dared not make a sound.


    Within the Tianliang Clan, the hierarchy was extremely strict. As a Sacred Land Core Disciple, Xue Shu could almost decide life and death for these ordinary warriors.


    Crack~ Another whip struck the burly man ¡®Logan¡¯, who was kneeling on the ground, with vicious force.


    It left a terrifyingly visible bloody mark.


    Logan¡¯s body was already drenched in blood.


    ¡°Lord Xue Shu, I indeed have erred,¡± Logan said, head bowed, his teeth gritted. ¡°But I risked my life to make it back, not out of a fear of death, but to bring you a message, lest you be taken by surprise in an attack.¡±


    ¡°So, I should be thanking you?¡± the young man in the blood-red robe asked, anger turning into a mocking laugh.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare,¡± Logan said, head still lowered, struggling through the pain as he continued. ¡°There was indeed a reason for my failure this time¡­ I was ultimately defeated by a Seven Stars human genius.¡±


    He recounted the whole process.


    ¡°A special Origin Power Battle Suit? Seventeen Rank Skill Realm at Fourth Level Perfection? Truly a First Rank genius of the Seven Stars human civilization,¡± the young man in the blood-red robe said, a cold light flashing in his eyes. ¡°You¡¯ve at least brought back some good news.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunate,¡± he said.


    ¡°He remains within the sphere of the Seven Stars humans; I couldn¡¯t possibly risk hunting him down,¡± the young man in the blood-red robe said, his gaze icy. ¡°Prepare to retreat.¡±


    ¡°Prepare to abandon the plan for Flying Serpent Valley.¡± S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Retreat?¡± the burly man Logan exclaimed in shock.


    ¡°What else to do if we don¡¯t retreat?¡± the young man in the blood-red robe glanced at him, his voice cold. ¡°You lot of trash not only failed to intercept those Seven Stars human Martial Artists, but you¡¯ve also exposed so much.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Stars humans are not fools; they will likely guess that there are treasures in the Flying Serpent Valley area, and perhaps Prime Warriors will come,¡± the young man in the blood-red robe said coldly. ¡°Do you want to go to war with Prime Warriors?¡±


    The burly man Logan dared not speak.


    Going to war with Prime Warriors? Once they arrive, aside from Lord Xue Shu, I fear no one could withstand three moves.


    ¡°Logan.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m giving you a chance to redeem your failure by making merit. Take your remaining subordinates and stay in Flying Serpent Valley to keep watch,¡± the young man in the blood-red robe said indifferently.


    ¡°Three days¡¯ time!¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s still no trace of the Seven Stars humans, I will naturally lead the troops back here and continue with the plan.¡±


    Logan was taken aback.


    If the Seven Stars humans¡¯ main force arrives, would he not be facing certain death?


    But he dared not refuse as the current predicament was indeed due to the failure of his mission.


    Before long.


    The young man in the blood-red robe quickly left with the majority of the Tianliang Clan warriors.


    Logan and a dozen or so warriors were left behind.


    ¡°I hope the Seven Stars human leadership is unwilling to take risks,¡± Logan could only silently pray.


    ¡­


    About 100 kilometers from Flying Serpent Valley, time ticked away by the second.


    After nearly eight hours, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness completely recovered.


    ¡°This time, the infusion of Origin Power seems to have ended faster than before,¡± Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    His eyes were filled with tranquility.


    ¡°The third infusion of Origin Power has actually increased my Physical Quality so much,¡± Li Yuan felt the terrifying power contained within his body without moving.


    It was much stronger than before.


    ¡°My Physical Quality,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.0 Rank (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 50,200 kilograms


    Speed: 100.8 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 28.4 Rank


    Willpower: 30 Rank


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 30% (Current Maximum 30%)


    Star Meridian: 10 Rank


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 6%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 7%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ¡­


    In just half a day, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level had leapt from 16.8 to 19 Rank!!


    His Fist Strength had approximately doubled.


    ¡°Now,¡± Li Yuan slowly stood up, clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him, ¡°I should have the strength to match a novice Prime Warrior.¡±


    The Tianliang Clan warrior he had previously escaped from?


    If he encountered him again, Li Yuan had a feeling, at full force, he could kill him with a single spear thrust.

 Chapter 218 - 178: Infiltration! The Flying Serpents Nest (Extra 2)

    Chapter 218: Chapter 178: Infiltration! The Flying Serpent¡¯s Nest (Extra 2)


    Li Yuan understood that the feeling of increased power was an illusion due to his recent transformation.


    ¡°One spear thrust? That might be difficult, two thrusts then,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°If he uses the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal again, he should be able to finish it within ten thrusts.¡±


    The power and speed increases, as well as the defense enhancements, brought by the Demon Blood Spirit Crystal had their limits.


    ¡°Regardless.¡±


    ¡°Facing an Initial Rank Prime Warrior, even a 22nd level one, I should have a fighting chance after activating my Origin Power Battle Suit,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If it were a 20th level Prime Warrior? Li Yuan was fairly confident of being able to defeat or even kill them.


    ...


    Because Li Yuan¡¯s Fist Strength now exceeded 50,000 kilograms and could surge beyond 90,000 kilograms under the Subtlety of the heart, which wasn¡¯t much different from an ordinary 20th level Prime Warrior¡¯s burst.


    If the strength was comparable and the skills were considerably superior, then even with a weaker Origin Power, there was a great chance of winning.


    However, if the opponent reached the 23rd level? Then the chance of winning was slim, for a 23rd level Mid Rank Prime Warrior¡¯s basic Fist Strength was 240,000 kilograms!!


    If facing a Prime Warrior above the 26th level? Li Yuan would be killed in a single move.


    ¡°Our Seven Stars Human Race Prime Warriors each possess an Origin Power Battle Suit, making our vitality ten times stronger,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But that¡¯s not the case with the native lifeforms of the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    This was the advantage of Prime Warriors.


    In reality, among the many Foreign Civilizations the Seven Stars Human Civilization had come into contact with, most were unable to mass-produce ¡®Origin Power Battle Suits,¡¯ especially beast civilizations, which are generally weak in technology, almost primitive.


    Even the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s research on Origin Power Battle Suits and Origin Power Weapons was inferior to that of the Seven Stars Human Civilization.


    This was also one of the reasons Li Yuan dared to enter the Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°Flying Serpent Valley has long been under the surveillance of Outpost Station Three, with no definite traces of Second Rank Alien Race beings for so long,¡± Li Yuan silently pondered, ¡°Hence, the probability of a Second Rank Alien Race being born is very low, and even if one truly emerged, the chance of surpassing level 22 wouldn¡¯t exceed 1%, otherwise the Flying Serpent population¡¯s domain wouldn¡¯t be confined to this area.¡±


    According to the research of the Seven Stars Human Civilization, many of the native lives born in the Star Realms possess extremely strong bloodlines, naturally becoming First Rank Life or even Second Rank Life.


    But bloodlines are also shackles, extremely hard to break through.


    ¡°Compared to the Flying Serpent race, what I really need to worry about is the Tianliang Civilization,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°However, according to the information provided by the captives, aside from that Xue Shu, there don¡¯t seem to be any Second Rank powerhouses accompanying them.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re probably not lying.¡±


    The reason was simple.


    If there were Second Rank powerhouses among the Tianliang Clan that had come, they could have easily swept through the Flying Serpent Valley.


    In pursuit of Wang Zhou, they wouldn¡¯t have let him and his group escape either.


    On the other hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s not out of the question that everything I know is a lie, a Killing Formation set up by the Tianliang Clan with the purpose of luring us Human Race Martial Artists away from the outpost,¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and mused, ¡°I must be careful.¡±


    ¡°One must struggle for treasures, indeed, but it¡¯s also about honing oneself. Yet one must not recklessly take risks.¡±


    After thinking everything through.


    Li Yuan opened his backpack, drank some water, ate something, and continued to review his previously conceived plan¡­ After confirming it was foolproof, he shouldered his pack, leaped down, and like an agile monkey, quickly stealthed into the vast forest.


    Heading towards Flying Serpent Valley.


    Before long.


    Hum!


    A figure in blue-green robes gradually materialized, almost blending in with the surrounding environment, making no sound whatsoever.


    ¡°How has his strength increased so much in less than ten hours?¡±


    ¡°Such strong Stealth ability.¡±


    ¡°Is this the Unity of Heaven and Man? Indeed extraordinary. If it weren¡¯t for my special Battle Garment that conceals my presence, I¡¯d probably be discovered by him,¡± the mysterious figure whispered to himself, ¡°Thankfully, the smart wristband is constantly tracking¡­ Otherwise, I¡¯d definitely lose him.¡±


    Even so, he did not dare to follow too closely, lest he be detected.


    Whoosh!


    Soundlessly, the mysterious figure moved, and a beast nearby, busy nibbling the ground, did not notice a thing.


    ¡­


    It was only about 100 kilometers from the secluded clifftop to the perimeter of Flying Serpent Valley.


    If Li Yuan sprinted at full speed, he could get there in an hour, but he was as discreet as possible, not very fast, and actually on the slower side.


    The closer he got, the slower he went.


    His strong spiritual power, and the art of Unity of Heaven and Man endowed him with such sensitivity that he could sense nearly everything within a hundred meters.


    After crossing another ridge.


    Li Yuan glanced at his smart wristband, following the map guidance, he had entered the ¡®Flying Serpent Valley¡¯ area.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan stopped, his body slightly squatting, eyes narrowing as he stared at something a hundred meters away.


    Hiss hiss~


    On the craggy rocks, festooned with a large number of vines, rested several serpentine creatures as thick as a man¡¯s waist and over twenty meters long.


    These creatures were pitch black with only their huge, blood-red eyes standing out, resembling the snakes on Blue Star, but with a pair of long claws growing on their belly and a set of folded wings on their back.


    This was the ¡®Black Feathered Flying Serpent.¡¯


    Rustle rustle~ One of the Black Feathered Flying Serpents suddenly raised its head, its massive body arching slightly as it unfurled its wings, which were so wide they blocked out the sun, spanning over twenty meters.


    ¡°First Rank Flying Serpents can only glide, they can hardly take off directly,¡± the details of Black Feathered Flying Serpents appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Their wings were not large enough to support their massive bodies taking off directly.


    However, once transformed into a Second Rank Flying Serpent with the support of Origin Power, flying would become effortless for them.


    Flying!


    It was an ability that many clans¡¯ Second Rank powerhouses envied.


    Even among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists of the Human Civilization, the vast majority were incapable of true flight, at most managing short-term levitation.

    Chapter 219: Chapter 178: Infiltration! The Flying Serpent¡¯s Nest (Extra 2)_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°From their size and appearance, these Black Feathered Flying Snakes should be around level 18,¡± Li Yuan discerned from afar, using the Divine Palace Inquiry to confirm this fact.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    If they were Second Rank Flying Serpents, besides being over thirty meters long and significantly larger, there would also be a more prominent horn on their heads, resembling a dragon.


    ¡°`


    ...


    ¡°`


    ¡°Slaying these few Flying Snakes wouldn¡¯t be hard.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°But it would easily alarm the others. Based on the intelligence, there are tens of thousands of Flying Snakes living in the Flying Serpent Valley, with at least a thousand above level 18,¡± Li Yuan said as he slowly retreated, disappearing into the mountain forest.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    He changed directions and continued deeper into the Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Slaying Flying Snakes? That wasn¡¯t the goal.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    What Li Yuan sought was the precise location of the ¡®Heavenly Materials Treasures¡¯ mentioned by the captives and Wang Zhou, before making his next move.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Time passed.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    On the road, Li Yuan occasionally encountered Flying Snakes.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Gradually, Li Yuan noticed that most were ordinary Flying Snakes around level 15, and those exceeding level 18 were rare.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But the density of the Flying Snakes made his scalp tingle. There were simply too many.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the special environment of the Star Realm, with these Flying Snakes¡¯ powerful bloodlines naturally able to absorb a small amount of Origin Power, their numbers wouldn¡¯t be so vast,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head slightly.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Just the source of food alone wouldn¡¯t solve the issue.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Fortunately.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan¡¯s Stealth skills had reached an ¡®abnormal¡¯ level, such that even Second Rank Prime Warriors might not be able to detect him, allowing him rapidly to approach the very heart of the Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Had it been another level 19 Martial Artist, they would have long since clashed with some of the Flying Snakes.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Flying Serpent Valley,¡± Li Yuan ventured through the jungle to the edge of a vast canyon on one side.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The towering mountains on both sides made it hard for sunlight to directly penetrate the canyon, shrouding it in dense mist, completely obscuring the bottom of the gorge.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°According to the intelligence inquiry, Flying Serpent Valley stretches for twenty kilometers, with a maximum width of 814 meters, the narrowest point about 300 meters, and an average depth well over 1800 meters,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Such a deep gorge is extremely rare on Blue Star, truly qualifying as a rift in the earth.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    However.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    When Li Yuan looked up and saw the ¡®Ming Mountain¡¯ at the horizon¡¯s end, resembling a pillar holding up the heavens, he felt reassured.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Just like what Yang Zhu had said before: ¡°The Star Realm is mysterious, anything is possible. All we can do is to accept it.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Flying Snakes,¡± Li Yuan caught a glimpse of dozens of Flying Snakes gliding out from the opposite mountain, swiftly disappearing into the mist. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Just with Li Yuan¡¯s naked eye, there were already numerous traces of Flying Snakes on the canyon¡¯s side walls.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Detonating a nuclear bomb here might solve most of Flying Serpent Valley¡¯s problems,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But Li Yuan was just musing.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The terrifying power of a nuclear explosion would likely attract the attention of a Flying Heaven Level existence.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Flying Heaven Level beings are extremely sensitive to large-scale energy fluctuations in the vast expanse of the world.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°In the depths of the gorge, shrouded by mist, lies the true nest of the Flying Snakes,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°No rush, I¡¯ll first look for the Tianliang Clan.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Without finding the Tianliang Clan, Li Yuan was not willing to risk venturing in.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Hum~


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Soundlessly, Li Yuan moved away from the gorge, starting to search gradually along the mountain sides for traces of the Tianliang Clan.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan believed.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    If the captives were right in saying they had over 200 Tianliang Clan warriors, then¡­ they couldn¡¯t possibly leave no trace.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡­Scouring a dark canyon stretching over twenty kilometers, searching the mountain ranges on both sides for ten kilometers; such a vast range, if left to an ordinary human to explore, would likely take months to finish.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But with Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Just eight hours later.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The Tianliang Clan¡¯s camp,¡± Li Yuan lay hidden in the mountain woods, staring down at the large encampment in a secluded valley below, along with two Tianliang Clan warriors.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This campsite, if not looked for carefully from a distance, was very hard to notice.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    And it was quite a distance from the Flying Snakes¡¯ regular activity area, which is why it had remained safe.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The fact that he found it in such a short time was not only due to his remarkably efficient reconnaissance but also due to a stroke of luck.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Such a large camp, by the number of people, should indeed exceed 200,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Only, why are there so few around? Could it be that the Tianliang Clan has already started to act?¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    With just the few warriors in the camp, Li Yuan could easily take them out.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But he didn¡¯t make a move.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The enemy is in the light, I am in the shadow, this was Li Yuan¡¯s biggest advantage.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Wait,¡± Li Yuan had patience.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡­This waiting lasted a full six hours, as there was no concept of ¡®night¡¯ in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Hm? Is that him?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened as he saw a familiar figure appear in his line of sight.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    A tall and burly man with a combat saber on his back was scolding a few ordinary soldiers.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The robust man was none other than ¡®Logan,¡¯ one of the two captains of the Tianliang Clan who had slipped away from Li Yuan.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Yet, adding them up, there¡¯s still only a dozen or so people in the camp,¡± Li Yuan frowned: ¡°It¡¯s not possible that so many Tianliang Clan warriors are dead, right?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°And then there¡¯s this.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°None of the ¡®Divine Palace Disciples Blood Guards¡¯ mentioned prominently in the intelligence reports match the profiles.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡­After observing for a while, Li Yuan gradually realized that these Tianliang Clan warriors seemed to take turns leaving their base.


    They kept heading towards the direction of Flying Serpent Valley to explore.


    ¡°Could it be that the main forces of the Tianliang Clan have withdrawn?¡± A thought emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡­


    Three hours later, three Tianliang Clan warriors started out from their base, cursing under their breath.


    ¡°Dammit, they actually left us here to die.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s to blame?¡±


    ¡°We can only blame our captain for coming back alive by himself, even Captain Mo Long is dead.¡±


    ¡°Be thankful. If we had joined the chase mission earlier, we¡¯d probably all be dead at the hands of the Seven Stars Human Race by now.¡± The three warriors discussed this among themselves in a low voice in ¡®Tianliang language¡¯, all quite dissatisfied.


    ¡°What¡¯s the point of this exploration? We don¡¯t dare to enter the core area of Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s useless, just for show.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s just wander around the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley and head back.¡±


    ¡°So much time has passed and we¡¯ve seen no trace of the Seven Stars Humans, they probably didn¡¯t come.¡± The three warriors continued chatting in low voices, all the while remaining alert to their surroundings.


    As elite fighters of the Tianliang Clan, though discontented, their combat readiness was still extremely high.


    Without a sound.


    ¡°Pft~¡± From what appeared to be a harmless bush nearby, suddenly flashed a black saber light, and two Tianliang Clan warriors had no chance to react as their heads flew up instantly.


    Blood splattered.


    ¡°No good.¡± The warrior at the forefront immediately turned back, filled with shock and rage, instinctively trying to press his ¡®Communication Device¡¯ for help.


    Click~ His hands were fast, but the slash of the saber light was faster.


    Thud!


    The light of the saber whizzed past, instantly severing the tall and thin Tianliang warrior¡¯s arm, blood splattered, and the Communication Device on his wrist naturally fell as well.


    Poom~


    Then came a kick fast as lightning, directly sending the Tianliang warrior flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    The gap in strength was too great.


    The three 18-level Tianliang Clan warriors, in the presence of the Li Yuan of now, were like babies facing a strong man.


    Boom! With another swift movement.


    Li Yuan instantly rushed to their front, stepping on the arm of the warrior that wasn¡¯t injured,


    Crack~ the sound of bones breaking.


    ¡°Aaah~¡± The Tianliang Clan warrior let out a low moan of pain, his eyes almost spitting fire, glaring daggers at Li Yuan.


    ¡°The emblem on your chest indicates you¡¯re a ¡®squad leader¡¯, I know you can speak the Seven Stars Human language.¡± Li Yuan said with an icy voice, ¡°I ask, you answer, I¡¯ll give you a swift end.¡±


    ¡°Dream on.¡± The Tianliang Clan warrior roared.


    A pill was directly forced into his mouth, and within mere seconds, his eyes bulged out roundly.


    It was too painful, much more than ten times the pain of the severed arm.


    ¡­


    Not long after, two more pills were forced into his mouth.


    ¡­


    Just as Li Yuan was about to stuff three pills into his mouth simultaneously, the stubborn Tianliang Clan warrior finally gave up, willing to say anything.


    After quickly ascertaining the relevant intelligence.


    Thud!


    With a slash of the saber, Li Yuan granted him a swift end, the head falling to the ground.


    The body thudded down heavily.


    ¡°Willpower quite strong, probably on par with many Prime Warriors.¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°I thought I would need to use a Marrow Spirit Desiccant pill.¡±


    Li Yuan had gotten the information he wanted.


    Could it possibly be false intel?


    While interrogating, Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power was constantly sensing his heart rate, pulse, spiritual fluctuations, eye expressions¡­ The likelihood of falsity was very low.


    ¡°Xue Shu, if there¡¯s no trace of our Seven Stars Human Race, will you return within three days?¡±


    ¡°Counting the time, today is the end of the first day.¡±


    ¡°That means, they won¡¯t be back for another two days?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°First, head to the central gorge to verify whether the location of the Heavenly Materials Treasures is real.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, vanishing into the jungle.


    Soon, dozens of Flying Serpents were lured over by Li Yuan on purpose, quickly devastating the scene of the earlier slaughter¡­ Li Yuan then killed two more Flying Serpents.


    Creating the illusion that the three Tianliang Clan warriors had encountered an attack by a group of Flying Serpents.


    Having arranged everything.


    Only then did Li Yuan shake off the pursuit of the group of Flying Serpents, cleanse any scent from himself, and swiftly headed towards the center of the gorge, the core area shrouded in innumerable mists.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see what kind of treasure it is, to wield such an immense allure.¡±

 Chapter 220 - 179: Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood

    Chapter 220: Chapter 179: Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood


    ¡°`


    The Flying Serpents, beyond living within the core area of the Flying Serpent Valley,


    also inhabited over ten kilometers on both sides of the canyon range, which are considered the peripheral zones of the valley. This is also why Li Yuan initially encountered a large number of Flying Serpents when he was more than ten kilometers away from the canyon.


    This was also the reason why the Tianliang Clan settled over ten kilometers away from the canyon.


    The key lies in the depth of the canyon!


    Just considering the Seven Stars human civilization¡¯s exploration, the average depth reached over 1800 meters, and the canyon connected countless caves within the mountains on both sides, forming an immense three-dimensional space.


    ...


    Just like some of the human supercities that cover tens of kilometers, they can accommodate millions or even tens of millions of people.


    The living space of the entire Flying Serpent clan in the valley, if spread out on the plain, would be enough to match an area of thousands of kilometers.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan did his utmost to conceal his own aura, and with powerful spiritual induction, he easily traversed over ten kilometers of the peripheral area and once again arrived at the edge of the canyon.


    ¡°Mist.¡± Li Yuan looked down and saw dense fog below; he couldn¡¯t even see the bottom of the canyon, in fact his vision didn¡¯t extend hundreds of meters.


    Unfathomable.


    ¡°Following the instructions given by that squad leader.¡±


    ¡°Xue Shu, for some reason, had early on determined that there were treasures in the canyon, and even personally ventured into the canyon for inquiry,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°After returning from the bottom of the canyon, he refused to leave, constantly preparing and plotting something.¡±


    ¡°And gathering more Tianliang Clan warriors.¡±


    ¡°This point, on the other hand, is similar to the information provided by Wang Zhou. They too had reached the edge of the canyon and felt something special deep within it, but did not dare to venture further,¡± Li Yuan pondered in silence. ¡°A large amount of data provided by the frontline base shows that the fog in this area during the regular exploration of Flying Serpent Valley ten years ago wasn¡¯t as thick, and there weren¡¯t as many Level 18 and Level 19 advanced Flying Serpents in the clan.¡±


    After a day of exploration.


    Li Yuan had noticed the abnormalities of the Flying Serpent Valley.


    Although most of the Flying Serpents were ordinary, there were far more advanced Flying Serpents than he had expected.


    ¡°Wang Zhou and his group are weak, only daring to risk reaching the edge of the canyon for reconnaissance,¡± Li Yuan, lying on the cliff said, ¡°But since Xue Shu was able to return safely¡­ I should be able to do the same.¡±


    After several interrogations and comprehensive information, Li Yuan was able to confirm one thing¡ªthe Tianliang Clan¡¯s Xue Shu was not Second Rank.


    As long as it¡¯s not a Second Rank strong being, within the First Rank, Li Yuan was confident there weren¡¯t many who could match him.


    If Xue Shu¡¯s strength was truly unrivaled, he would have had no need to bring a large number of Tianliang Clan fighters with him.


    Whirr~ Silently,


    a thin black battle garment appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s body, he had fully activated the Origin Power Battle Suit, and the surface of the suit even changed color slightly to light green, blending better into the surrounding environment.


    The battle garment worth five hundred million Blue Star Coins was extremely comprehensive in function.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s hand appeared a combat saber, which he gripped in reverse without revealing its sharp edge.


    As for the long spear and backpack? They were placed in a hidden spot not far away on the cliffside.


    It was necessary.


    This time, Li Yuan only intended to reconnoiter, so carrying a backpack and a long spear, which would make him a bigger target and more likely to be exposed, was not an option.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan moved, starting to descend deeper into the canyon along the cliff face, and with his physical quality and skill level, even the slightest protrusion on the canyon cliff allowed him to move as if on flat ground.


    Moreover, the cliff was covered in countless moss and trees, providing natural cover.


    Descending continuously.


    Gradually, Li Yuan was enveloped by the mist in the canyon, and the visibility dropped sharply¡­ Now he could only see a few tens of meters ahead.


    ¡°This fog, though it blocks my line of sight, can also provide me with concealment,¡± Li Yuan observed the swirling mist around him.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped in his tracks, merging with the environment.


    Hiss~ A Flying Serpent over ten meters long, with wings spread, swiftly passed over Li Yuan¡¯s head and disappeared into the fog.


    Less than two hundred meters deep, this was already the sixth Flying Serpent Li Yuan had encountered.


    However, none of the Flying Serpents encountered along the way had noticed him.


    Li Yuan¡¯s perception of these Flying Serpents relied on his strong spiritual induction, rather than purely ¡®eyes,¡¯ hence he could sense the presence of Flying Serpents in advance.


    He continued to descend.


    ¡°Hm? What¡¯s that?¡± Li Yuan suddenly paused, his gaze sharp. He spotted on the cliff tens of meters away, among the black-green vines, a massive Flying Serpent nearly twenty meters long resting with its head down, apparently asleep.


    Without spiritual induction, Li Yuan¡¯s naked eye would have hardly noticed its presence.


    ¡°Level 18 Flying Serpent,¡± Li Yuan gauged the strength of the creature through his Divine Palace.


    But that wasn¡¯t the point.


    The key was the blood-red plant growing on the cliff beside the Flying Serpent, about half a meter tall with blood-red branches and leaves, brimming with vitality and quite conspicuous.


    ¡°Blood Origin Spirit Ganoderma! Six-leaf! It¡¯s actually this kind of spiritual medicine,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    In the general knowledge classes, teachers not only talked about history, astronomy, geography, Star Realm creatures, and Alien Civilization but also taught how to identify a plethora of ¡®Heavenly Materials Treasures.¡¯


    After all, one of the main objectives for Martial Artists venturing into the Star Realm was to seek treasures.


    If one couldn¡¯t even recognize treasures right beside them,


    That would be a joke. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And in the data library of Martial Hall, Li Yuan had also noted down a lot of information about common treasures.


    ¡°Origin Power, it¡¯s emitting an aura of Origin Power, no doubt about it,¡± Li Yuan quickly confirmed.


    Blood Origin Spirit Ganoderma is a generic name, found in many Star Realms, with everything from three leaves up to nine leaves¡ªthe more leaves, the higher the quality.


    It is one of the main materials used in making a series of auxiliary cultivation medications.


    For example, the First Rank Hematopoietic Medicament, Second Rank Hematopoietic Medicament, and even the High Origin Spirit Spring all require it.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Six leaves are enough to make a Second Rank qi and blood potion, a single plant is worth tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°The key question is, are there only a few of these plants here, or are there many inside Flying Serpent Valley?¡±


    This was very important.


    If there were only a few, it wouldn¡¯t mean much, but if there were many inside Flying Serpent Valley, it would indicate that this place was very suitable for cultivating the Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi mushrooms, and that would be completely different¡­ If the Seven Stars human civilization occupied this place and could use technological methods, they could completely cultivate and plant them in large quantities.


    The conditions for the large-scale birth of Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi are harsh, requiring a high concentration of Origin Power, ley lines, and many other factors.


    ¡°Continue.¡± Li Yuan did not attack the Flying Serpent; he wasn¡¯t after a few tens or hundreds of thousands of Blue Star Coins.


    He continued to dive deeper.


    As he went further in, the fog became thicker, and Li Yuan also found that the width of the canyon was increasing, seemingly becoming more expansive the further back he went¡­ This was a vast land canyon world, where the light was getting weaker and darker.


    ¡°Buzz!¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Hiss!¡± The number of Flying Serpents was also increasing, their massive bodies occasionally slicing through the mist, coming in and out of caves in the mountain walls¡­ Li Yuan dared not approach those Flying Serpent Caves.


    He continued to delve deeper, and as the fog began to disperse, his vision gradually became clearer.


    At this moment, Li Yuan was truly deep inside the Flying Serpents¡¯ lair, and if he were exposed, he would likely attract an attack from hundreds, maybe thousands of Flying Serpents.


    This was the world of the Flying Serpent clan.


    It also made Li Yuan all the more cautious.


    ¡°Hmm? Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi?¡± As his vision cleared, Li Yuan glanced around and noticed several Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi not far away.


    However, a massive Flying Serpent still guarded them.


    No! There wasn¡¯t just one plant.


    Li Yuan looked again and was shocked to find that within his line of sight alone, on the hundred-meter stretch of the mountain wall, several Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi were growing.


    Altogether, at least more than ten plants.


    This was astonishing.


    With a bit of extrapolation, Li Yuan could imagine how many Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi must be growing on the mountain walls on both sides of the entire Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°Could it be that Flying Serpent Valley has become suitable for the growth of Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi?¡± Li Yuan was shocked, ¡°Why was there never any mention of this in the previous reports?¡±


    But Li Yuan did not delve into it, the environment of Star Realm was unpredictable and hard to measure.


    ¡°If Flying Serpent Valley really is suited for large-scale planting.¡±


    ¡°Just this place alone might be worth hundreds of billion or even thousands of billion Blue Star Coins, enough for human civilization to invest a large amount of resources,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart heated up.


    This place was only about 900 kilometers from Outpost Base Number Three.


    If the Seven Stars human civilization was willing to pay the price, establishing a new war base to guard and develop a resource point here would not be difficult.


    Starting wars and investing resources, the goal is always the same¡ªto acquire greater resources.


    In the past, the Seven Stars human civilization did not invest significant resources in the Mingxu Star Realm simply because the risk and the returns were not proportional.


    But!


    If Flying Serpent Valley really was suitable for cultivating Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi, then getting the Seven Stars human civilization to invest a significant amount of effort was not a dream.


    ¡°Outpost bases have explored Flying Serpent Valley more than once, and there was no record of this information.¡±


    ¡°It must be a change from the last ten years.¡±


    ¡°No wonder the number of high-level Flying Serpents in the valley has increased, it¡¯s probably the result of them continuously consuming Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi,¡± Li Yuan concluded.


    Humans use ancillary cultivation treasures to grow faster.


    The beast Alien Race is no different.


    ¡°Such a big change in Flying Serpent Valley must have a reason,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, becoming even more cautious as he continued to dive deeper.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had delved more than 1500 meters into the canyon.


    The bottom of the canyon was extremely dark, with light nearly unable to penetrate through the thick fog. Numerous vines intertwined on the mountain walls, where many Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi grew.


    Li Yuan dared not descend any further.


    Because the number of Flying Serpent Caves on both sides of the mountain walls was increasing. Flying Serpents were passing by from time to time, and there were too many of them. Even with Li Yuan¡¯s stealth abilities, he could not guarantee his safety amid so many Flying Serpents.


    Moreover.


    There was no need for Li Yuan to explore further down, because with the fog dissipating for the most part, he could already see the bottom of the canyon.


    At the bottom of the canyon, among the moss and vines, dense ¡®Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi¡¯ were growing. Li Yuan could see hundreds of them within his line of sight.


    And these Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi, they extended along both sides of the canyon, only becoming more sparse towards the outer edges.


    ¡°So many Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi?¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, but then he stood thunderstruck, frozen in place.


    In the midst of this sea of Blood-Activating Origin Lingzhi at the canyon bottom, there grew a strange tree about ten meters high.


    Its trunk was thick, its branches lush and green, as if each leaf contained the force of life, emitting a rich Origin Power aroma.


    But what really drew the eye were the three fruits at the top of the tree.


    Each fruit was plump and round, its surface shimmering with mottled light, in deep blue colors with occasional flashes of silvery white, seeming to release a mysterious fluctuation, emitting a soft glow that tempted one¡¯s soul.


    Just a fleeting glance and Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but feel a desire to swallow them whole.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood? And the soon-to-be ripe Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shimmered with a glint.


    It was the Third Rank soul-type Heavenly Materials Treasures mentioned in the database, ranked just below the Immortal Soul Nine-Revolution Fruit and alongside the Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass and the Sweet Spirit Core Crystal.


    They had astounding benefits for soul growth!!

 Chapter 221 - 180: Fourth Rank Treasure? Second Rank Flying Serpent!

    Chapter 221: Chapter 180: Fourth Rank Treasure? Second Rank Flying Serpent!


    From hundreds of meters away, he gazed at the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood at the bottom of the gorge.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart thumped with excitement, ¡°All three fruits are already showing a silvery sheen, which clearly indicates they are entering the mature phase, and they should not be far from full maturity¡­ And according to the data, a normal Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood only grows three to six meters tall, so why is this one ten meters tall?¡±


    A Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood that grows three to six meters tall bears ¡®fruit¡¯ that is Third Rank treasures, invaluable.


    If it¡¯s ten meters tall, what rank of treasure would that be? Logically, it would only be more precious.


    Could it be Fourth Rank?


    ¡°Judging from its appearance, the fruits have begun to mature and can definitely be harvested, though their effect might be slightly inferior,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were fixed on those three fruits.


    ...


    According to the records, a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood might only bear fruit two to three times in its life, each time yielding only 2-4 fruits, and how it grows has always been a mystery.


    This was a Heavenly Material Treasure that could not be mass-produced.


    How much was a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit worth? Li Yuan didn¡¯t know, because treasures of this caliber were too scarce and rare in the Seven Stars human civilization.


    Most were traded or consumed in private. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even if they were put on sale, they typically appeared only at high-end auctions, where the price varied each time.


    For Third Rank treasures of the same level, like the Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass, based on the information Li Yuan found, one plant exceeded 2 billion Blue Star Coins at a recent auction organized by Xia Country.


    How much were three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits worth? At least several tens of billions of Blue Star Coins.


    It was absolutely a huge fortune!!


    ¡°I must seize them.¡±


    ¡°Definitely.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart pounded with various thoughts surfacing in his mind.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s for what my uncle needs.¡±


    ¡°Or for my normal cultivation in the future, I need a huge amount of resources,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°To a great extent, I can only rely on myself.¡±


    The resources of the entire Seven Stars human civilization were limited.


    Even for the unparalleled geniuses, there was a limit to the support they could receive.


    The ¡®Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal¡¯ provided by Kunlun Martial University, the S-grade contract offered by the Martial Hall, along with some Heavenly Materials Treasures, were essentially top-level support.


    All added up, until Li Yuan graduated from university, the total value would hardly exceed one hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    There was a vague line to this.


    In Jiang City after the Fish Spirit Tide, Li Yuan had exchanged information with Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, and others and roughly understood this point.


    Some more precious treasures?


    Aside from a few regenerable special resources.


    Most of the extraordinary treasures, the top powerhouses of the Seven Stars human civilization didn¡¯t have enough for themselves, so how could they easily gift them to young geniuses?


    Want more? If your strength is sufficient, go out and fight for it yourself.


    What the Seven Stars human civilization desires are strong Martial Artists, geniuses who can gradually contribute to the entire civilization after becoming Prime Warriors.


    Not those who still only wish to take from within the civilization after becoming high-level Prime Warriors or even Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, if a super powerful individual is willing to spend the wealth they¡¯ve earned through their own hardships, even if it costs hundreds of billions or trillions to provide for their children, no one can interfere.


    But the resources directly granted by the entire civilization?


    No matter how talented, what one can receive is ultimately limited.


    ¡­ ¡°The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is fine, but with two Second Rank Flying Serpents around, how can I snatch it?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on the ground about a hundred meters away from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    On either side.


    Two massive flying serpents were sprawling there, both exceeding thirty meters in length.


    Their claws, wings, and scaly bodies all had obvious differences from those of ordinary flying serpents.


    From their appearances alone, it was clear that they were far more formidable than other flying serpents.


    Most importantly, there were slightly protruding horns on their foreheads.


    These were the marks of Second Rank flying serpents.


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level approximately 21.3, Second Rank Life, killing yields Spiritual Nature nutrients]¡±


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level approximately 21.8¡­]¡± Li Yuan, using Divine Palace Inquiry, basically confirmed the strength of the two Second Rank flying serpents.


    Both were Second Rank, and neither was the kind that had just broken through.


    ¡°It¡¯s possible that they have consumed Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit before, undergoing a Transformation, that allowed their minds and bodies to achieve Unity and breakthrough,¡± Li Yuan thought quietly.


    Due to intelligence issues, beasts receive very few inheritances, and the intelligence of First Rank beasts is generally not high.


    Therefore, if the bloodline isn¡¯t strong enough, it is tens to hundreds of times harder for a First Rank beast to break through to the Second Rank compared to humans.


    ¡°Two 21st level Second Rank flying serpents, if I were to take on two at once, I¡¯m fairly confident I could win if a great battle truly erupted,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes slightly squinted: ¡°The key issue is that once a great battle breaks out, there are thousands upon thousands of flying serpents here.¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t care about a single First Rank flying serpent; he could kill one with a spear thrust.


    But at a certain number, combined with two terrifyingly powerful Second Rank flying serpents, it would be different.


    Li Yuan¡¯s chances of winning were close to zero.


    Moreover, the region Li Yuan had explored so far was only a small part of Flying Serpent Valley. In the densely packed caves of Flying Serpent Valley, whether there were more and stronger Second Rank flying serpents was hard to predict.


    ¡°If I openly snatch now, not only would I fail to grab it, but I¡¯d also likely lose my life,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently: ¡°Without my long spear in hand, I can only exert less than fifty percent of my strength.¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll go back and think of a solution.¡±


    Li Yuan slowly moved upward along the vines and rocks, not daring to make a sound.


    Hundreds of meters away were the two Second Rank flying serpents.


    If discovered¡­ Second Rank flying serpents could fly, by then, escaping would be impossible.


    ¡­ Time elapsed.


    Li Yuan did not return the way he came but continued his exploration along the cliff to both sides, wanting to confirm if there were other Second Rank members of the flying serpent tribe within the valley.


    This was crucial.


    Only after more than six hours did Li Yuan avoid many dangers and, with both relief and fear, return to the starting point above the canyon¡­ The sun still hung high in the sky.


    ¡°Serpents prefer the shade, whether in Blue Star or the Star Realm, this is the case, no wonder most flying serpents like to hide at the bottom of the valley,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    He returned to the concealed spot on the cliffside where his backpack and long spear were stored.


    He checked the ¡®alert clues¡¯ he left nearby, confirming that no one or Alien Race had passed by during that time.


    He hid inside a small cave.


    ¡°¡®All Heavens¡¯ Stars,¡¯ Origin Power activation,¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes and silently channeled his Star Meridian, drawing an endless stream of Origin Power into his body.


    He was recuperating from the fatigue of his body.


    Such a prolonged exploration and the use of spiritual power for sensing, even for Li Yuan, constituted a great expenditure.


    ¡°Firstly, I explored about 8 kilometers of the cliff on one side of the valley floor, and other than the two Second Rank flying serpents in the center of the valley floor, there were no traces of other Second Rank flying serpents,¡± Li Yuan thought, summarizing the results of his exploration.


    ¡°Second, the life-nourishing Spirit Mushrooms are mainly concentrated in the central part of the valley, and their numbers dwindle the closer one gets to the sides of the valley¡­ the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood also grows in the center¡­ the higher-level Flying Serpents, including the Second Rank Flying Serpents, are all concentrated in the middle of the valley.¡± Li Yuan seemed to be thinking, ¡°Is it all just a coincidence?¡±


    Based on the information he had, Li Yuan felt that there might have been some special changes occurring in the central area of the Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°This kind of all-encompassing diagnosis isn¡¯t my forte; it requires experts to calculate through various data.¡± Li Yuan said to himself, ¡°My goal is to seize the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit.¡±


    That was what Li Yuan sought after.


    However, how could he snatch it from two Second Rank Flying Serpents, not to mention the thousands of First Rank Flying Serpents¡­?


    ¡°At the latest, in two days, the blood guards from the Tianliang Clan will return with reinforcements.¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    If he wanted to prevent the blood guards from coming back, he would have to kill all the Tianliang Clan warriors that remained, which could possibly scare them off from taking the risk of returning.


    Still, it did not solve the key problem¡ªhow to snatch the treasure.


    ¡­After a long contemplation.


    ¡°Three paths,¡± Li Yuan had completely made up his mind, ¡°First, I go for it myself, recklessly charging in, with the success rate close to 0, and the death rate close to a hundred percent.¡±


    ¡°Second, wait for the blood guards to bring back the Tianliang Clan warriors, let them fight with the Flying Serpent tribe¡­ There¡¯s a chance to play the fisherman, but it¡¯s also possible to end up with nothing and equally dangerous.¡±


    ¡°Third, report the situation here to the outpost base and request reinforcements, that way, my gains might be less, but it¡¯s safer and more reliable.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Without hesitation anymore.


    Li Yuan took out his smart ring and tried to contact the outpost base, only to discover¡­ the call wouldn¡¯t go through.


    The signal was too poor.


    ¡°Damn,¡± Li Yuan cursed under his breath and got to his feet, gripping his long spear and flying out of the cave.


    As soon as he emerged, Li Yuan stopped abruptly.


    Because, about a hundred meters away, two powerful Flying Serpents, each over twenty meters in length, were raising their massive heads and looking around. One of them happened to see Li Yuan.


    ¡°Roar~¡± This one, exceeding level 18, immediately let out a terrifying and piercing roar. The penetrative power of its voice was astonishing, instantly echoing throughout several kilometers around.


    In an instant.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Howl!¡± In the dense forest, the roars of the Flying Serpents rose and fell in rapid succession.


    Even the sound traveled into the fog of the valley, causing a series of roars to echo through the mist.


    ¡°Damn,¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth, realizing that by sheer bad luck, the two Flying Serpents were outside his sensory range.


    And just as he emerged from the cave, they were fixated on this very spot.


    Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!


    Several Flying Serpents flapped their wings, their speed instantly soared, and they rushed toward Li Yuan with a howl, as if filled with endless fury.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t care about remaining hidden anymore. He exerted force with his legs, and his speed soared to a terrifying degree, quickly surpassing 70 meters per second, and breaking through 100 meters per second after two seconds.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Under the burst of terrifying speed, the air vibrated violently, creating a series of noises, and along the path, small trees fell to the ground with a crash.


    Countless pebbles flew chaotically.


    ¡­Li Yuan, at full speed, vanished in a few flashes, shaking off several Flying Serpents.


    But immediately after, his path was blocked by even more Flying Serpents in front. One by one, the Flying Serpents moved their massive bodies, lunging over to attack.


    ¡°Die.¡±


    Li Yuan burst forth without hesitation, his spear leaving a trail of continuous images, and spears of light suddenly erupted.


    Splat~ Splat~


    Li Yuan¡¯s spearhead was small, but when he struck these Flying Serpents, his spear moved at several times the speed of sound¡­ just like bullets hitting a human body.


    With one thrust, if it pierced the head of a Flying Serpent, the head would explode.


    If it stabbed into their bodies, it would leave a huge wound, or even sever them at the waist.


    Not one Flying Serpent could block Li Yuan¡¯s path as he fled for his life.


    ¡­


    After killing dozens of Flying Serpents of varying strength.


    Li Yuan fled frantically, only stopping after covering over ten kilometers through the forest and feeling no more Flying Serpents continued the chase, slowing his pace.


    Only after escaping another five or six kilometers did he come to a complete halt, sitting on a huge rock and silently regulating his body¡¯s energy.


    ¡°Lucky there were no Second Rank Flying Serpents, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.¡± Li Yuan muttered.


    He looked at his arm, which now had one bar of signal, and dialed the communication line on his smart ring again.


    This time, after waiting nearly twenty seconds.


    ¡°Beep~¡± Li Yuan finally got through.


    It wasn¡¯t a video call, just a voice communication.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what¡¯s the matter?¡± The voice of Liu Jing came through the communication, not loud, and somewhat deep.


    ¡°Senior, I¡¯ve basically figured out the situation in the Flying Serpent Valley and now I¡¯m hoping to get support from the base.¡± Li Yuan said earnestly.


    This was the choice Li Yuan had made.


    If he waited for Xue Shu and the Tianliang Clan warriors to fight the Flying Serpent tribe, it might work, but the chances were greater it wouldn¡¯t, and it was extremely dangerous.


    ¡°Fortune favors the bold, but also at the risk of losing everything,¡± Li Yuan recited in his heart.


    Instead of taking an overly risky plan, it¡¯s better to be prudent.


    Even if the gain is a lot less, the advantage is safety and stability¡ªalive, one has everything.


    ¡°Oh? What¡¯s the situation?¡± Liu Jing¡¯s voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise.


    ¡°After I arrived at Flying Serpent Valley¡­¡± Li Yuan quickly reported all the intelligence he had gathered.


    And sent some of the exploration footage.


    There was nothing to hide.


    Since he had decided to ask for reinforcements, informing them of everything he knew so as not to lead the outpost base to misjudge was the right choice to make.


    ¡°Two Second Rank Flying Serpents? Nearly mature Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits?¡± Liu Jing¡¯s voice carried a tint of surprise, seemingly quite shocked, ¡°There are such treasures in the Flying Serpent Valley?¡±


    ¡°Correct, absolutely certain,¡± Li Yuan affirmed.


    There was a long silence on the other end of the communication.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I will rush over as quickly as I can,¡± Liu Jing¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°Before I get there, do not startle anything or go up against the Tianliang Clan¡¯s people, understand?¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Chapter 222: Chapter 181 Liu Jing¡¯s Decision (Add more 3)


    ¡°`


    After hanging up the communication,


    ¡°Liu Jing is personally coming? It seems that this ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is indeed precious enough to make an exception for them,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan was aware that the outpost base had its own operating rules and convincing a First Rank Martial Artist with Fourth Level skills to willingly stay forever in a Star Realm nearly as desolate as The Wilderness was very difficult.


    Moreover, the number of Prime Warriors in the Human Race civilization of the Seven Stars was limited, and there were many directions in which to allocate resources.


    Treasures and materials are resources.


    ...


    Powerful beings like Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors are also a resource.


    Therefore, at a place like Outpost Base No. 3, the number of Prime Warriors was limited and they would not take action unless absolutely necessary.


    Otherwise, if they were to die outside, causing a loss of high-end combat power, it could easily trigger a chain reaction that could lead to the entire base¡¯s destruction.


    ¡°Within 1000 kilometers of the outpost base is a line drawn by the upper echelons of Xia Country for the base,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Within this 1000 kilometer range, Prime Warriors can intervene in some special situations.¡±


    For example, when establishing a high-value resource point.


    Or for¡ªHeavenly Materials Treasures worth over a billion.


    Or when targeting a high-value treasure.


    ¡°It¡¯s 900 kilometers from the base,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°If not using a flying vehicle and going at full speed, a Prime Warrior should be able to arrive within five hours.¡±


    900 kilometers across mountains and 900 kilometers over plain are two different concepts.


    ¡°I wonder if Liu Jing is coming alone or if there will be multiple Prime Warriors? Or is he bringing other First Rank Martial Artists, or even some heavy weaponry?¡± Li Yuan wondered to himself.


    Li Yuan did not wish to think further.


    He stood up and moved even further away, finding a more concealed cave.


    He began to cultivate in peace.


    He still hadn¡¯t practiced today¡¯s ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡± ¡°Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    Moreover, his previous cultivation was only enough to slightly alleviate physical fatigue.


    ¡°Five or six hours.¡±


    ¡°Before Liu Jing arrives, I¡¯ll try to restore my strength to its peak to avoid making mistakes in a great battle,¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes and meditated, focusing on his cultivation.


    Of course, most of Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power still stayed alert to the outside, wary of a potential surprise attack.


    ¡­


    In the small cave where Li Yuan was cultivating, about two kilometers away, in a quiet and dense forest,


    ¡°That was close.¡±


    ¡°He almost detected me,¡± the figure dressed in a blue-green Battle Garment looked at the disconnected smart ring watch and shook his head slightly, ¡°This kid is really something.¡±


    With a swish, the Battle Garment receded, revealing an age-worn face¡ªit was indeed Liu Jing.


    The one who had been secretly following and protecting Li Yuan was Liu Jing himself.


    Shortly after Li Yuan left Observation Point No. 19, Liu Jing started out from the war base immediately according to the plan, catching up with Li Yuan while he was in secluded cultivation on the cliff.


    Because of this,


    when Li Yuan called Liu Jing, it took nearly 20 seconds for Liu Jing to connect.


    Because he had to move away a bit to avoid detection by Li Yuan.


    Secret protection.


    But one must never let the protected feel this protection, so that they don¡¯t develop a psychological dependence, thus achieving the greatest possible honing and protection.


    ¡°Unexpected.¡±


    ¡°There are such rare and precious treasures hidden in Flying Serpent Valley?¡± Liu Jing murmured to himself, shaking his head slightly: ¡°I didn¡¯t dare to dive deeper earlier and failed to notice.¡±


    Liu Jing had to admit that even with the enhancement of a special Battle Garment, when it came to Stealth, he was no match for Li Yuan.


    Just now, when Li Yuan explored deeper, Liu Jing only dared to descend about 800 meters into the canyon before he stopped daring to go further.


    Continue ahead? He would likely have been discovered by the Flying Serpents.


    No other way.


    Whether it was spiritual power or skills, Li Yuan far surpassed him, and Li Yuan¡¯s Battle Garment had extremely strong support functions as well.


    ¡°Yet, besides the treasure, there are also two Second Rank Flying Serpents?¡± A glint of cold light flashed in Liu Jing¡¯s eyes.


    Compared to the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, Liu Jing was more concerned about the presence of Second Rank Alien Race beings. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He could fully foresee.


    If he did not intervene, the Black Feather Flying Serpent Race would definitely expand wildly from Flying Serpent Valley in all directions sooner or later¡­inevitably leading to a fierce conflict with Outpost Base No. 3.


    This was the experience he had gained from fighting numerous wars against many Alien Races during more than thirty years stationed in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    That was also the reason for delineating a 1000-kilometer range of influence for the base.


    Only if there were no Second Rank Alien Races within this range could they continue to avoid conflict with more distant and more powerful Alien Civilizations.


    They could keep a low profile.


    If a Second Rank Alien Race arose within the range of influence? Then they would strike down the newly emerged threat as soon as possible!


    ¡°However, facing the temptation of a treasure worth tens of billions, Li Yuan actually resisted the internal lure, taking no risks and staying cautious. That¡¯s quite rare,¡± Liu Jing thought to himself, ¡°His strength is also alarmingly great.¡±


    ¡°The data shows that he¡¯s only at level 16.5, but judging from his progress through battle, he¡¯s probably close to level 19 now¡­truly mysterious,¡± Liu Jing shook his head slightly.


    Regarding Li Yuan¡¯s specialty, he would report it, but he would not proactively ask Li Yuan, nor was he inclined to delve deeper.


    No other reason!


    It was pointless.


    Having been stationed in the Mingxu Star Realm for thirty years, his cultivation had already reached a bottleneck¡­ Liu Jing was quite indifferent to many things.


    In Liu Jing¡¯s view,


    as long as Li Yuan did not betray the Human Race, what did it matter if he had some secrets or fortunate encounters? How was it his concern?


    After some thought,


    Humm~


    Liu Jing activated his smart ring watch and dialed another communication, connecting quickly.


    ¡°Old Liu,¡± a cold female voice answered.


    ¡°I¡¯m now in Flying Serpent Valley¡­¡± Liu Jing quickly recounted the situation, only omitting the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood: ¡°This place is extremely valuable, perhaps worthy of establishing another outpost base.¡±


    ¡°Or even a ¡®breeding area,''¡± Liu Jing said.


    ¡°A breeding area?¡± The woman¡¯s voice carried a hint of surprise.


    The Human Civilization in numerous Star Realms and a vast number of Foreign Civilizations were also occupying many Star Realms¡­ Their presence in most Star Realms was solely for warfare.

 Chapter 223 - 181 Liu Jings Decision (Add more 3)_2

    Chapter 223: Chapter 181 Liu Jing¡¯s Decision (Add more 3)_2


    But they would also choose some appropriate Star Realms to send in a large number of ordinary people for reproduction¡­ This is known as the breeding area.


    However, establishing a stable breeding area is extremely difficult.


    ¡°This is just a hypothesis,¡± Liu Jing said with a slight smile, ¡°after all, don¡¯t we in the Everlasting Mingxu Star Realm wish to see more Prime Warriors, or even Flying Heaven Warriors? Only by becoming a breeding area can our outpost become like a regular city, or even ultimately our second homeland.¡±


    ¡°My lifelong wish is to see our Seven Stars human civilization truly gain a foothold in the Mingxu Star Realm, instead of being ready to evacuate at any moment as we are now,¡± Liu Jing declared.


    The woman fell silent.


    Indeed!


    ...


    The four major outposts of the Seven Stars human civilization are all ready to be evacuated at any time.


    But while others can retreat, where can the few Prime Warriors go? Nowhere.


    ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± the woman asked.


    ¡°Bring over the exploration teams, the First Warrior Squadron, the environmental data team, the First Mechanical Squad, the Second Mechanical Squad¡­ All of them,¡± Liu Jing said in one breath, ¡°I want to establish a vanguard camp here and produce an ¡®investigation report¡¯ as quickly as possible.¡±


    ¡°All of them?¡±


    ¡°Once lost outside, the alliance won¡¯t replenish our forces in a short time,¡± the woman was shocked again, ¡°Are you so confident? Can you get Han Chong to agree?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why I just need your agreement, two against one,¡± Liu Jing smiled, ¡°Whether he opposes or not, it doesn¡¯t matter much.¡±


    The woman had nothing to say.


    ¡°I¡¯m old, and I can¡¯t fight many battles,¡± Liu Jing said indifferently, ¡°This time we must contend with the Tianliang Clan, 900 kilometers from our base, and only 1400 kilometers from theirs¡­ The sooner the better, to let the higher-ups make up their minds early and start allocating resources here as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°One day earlier we establish a complete base defense system here, and the Tianliang Clan will be helpless,¡± Liu Jing said. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He had long had this idea.


    After pondering for a while.


    ¡°Good.¡± Through the communication device, the woman finally agreed, ¡°I will devise a plan as quickly as possible¡­ but with such a large team and many researchers having weaker strength, they all want to arrive without fail. Even with mechanical teams paving the way¡­ It is estimated to take three days to arrive.¡±


    A distance of 900 kilometers.


    Many members of the alien race obstruct the way, and it¡¯s very difficult for an outpost to remotely transport so many people.


    ¡°Good,¡± Liu Jing knew that three days was already extremely fast.


    A single Prime Warrior¡¯s action and the movement of nearly a thousand people are two different concepts.


    He ended the call.


    ¡°Li Yuan is here; with his strength, he should be safe for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s first completely eliminate the people in that Tianliang Clan outpost,¡± Liu Jing frowned slightly, ¡°Li Yuan started killing and asking questions just now, and made such a big commotion that echoed through half of the Flying Serpent Valley. As long as the Tianliang Clan isn¡¯t stupid, they must have already noticed.¡±


    Having already startled the snake in the grass, there¡¯s no need for restraint anymore.


    Thunderous deterrence is the best strategy.


    However, Liu Jing knew that once he cleared out the opposition, the Tianliang Clan might be too frightened to come back, or they might send their own Prime Warriors to contest.


    ¡°We can only take a gamble.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Liu Jing¡¯s figure moved, his Battle Garment appeared, enveloping his entire body, and he quickly disappeared into the woods.


    He made his way stealthily towards the Tianliang Clan outpost.


    ¡­


    More than ten minutes later.


    ¡°No one left?¡± Liu Jing looked down at the deserted Tianliang Clan outpost below and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, ¡°They are smart, retreating so quickly.¡±


    ¡­


    More than ten kilometers away from the outpost.


    A burly man named ¡®Logan¡¯ was leading the less than ten remaining Tianliang Clan warriors in a frantic escape.


    ¡°Captain, do we need to evacuate in such a hurry?¡± A Tianliang Clan warrior couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Even if the Seven Stars human race¡¯s Prime Warriors arrive, there¡¯s no need to rush like this.¡±


    They had just been woken up from their sleep by Logan.


    ¡°Captain, what about Carson and the others? They haven¡¯t returned yet,¡± another Tianliang Clan warrior couldn¡¯t help asking.


    They took turns going out for inquiry.


    Therefore, when they retreated to escape with their lives, the three who went to inquire in the Flying Serpent Valley were not able to evacuate in time.


    ¡°Idiots.¡±


    ¡°If the Seven Stars human race has arrived, they must be confident in taking the Flying Serpent Valley. Lord Xue Shu himself has already fled. If they discover us, do you think we can withstand them?¡± Logan said coldly.


    The group of Tianliang Clan warriors fell silent.


    ¡°¡±¡±


    ¡°I even suspect that the three previously presumed to be attacked by the Flying Serpent were killed by the experts of the Seven Stars human race,¡± Logan shook his head and said, ¡°As for Carson and his two companions? They¡¯ve been messaged. It¡¯s up to their own skill to escape death now.¡±


    ¡°We should withdraw ourselves.¡±


    The many Tianliang Clan warriors dared not utter a sound.


    The direct abandonment of the three made them all feel a chill.


    ¡°Additionally, report this news to Lord Xue Shu, telling him that we risked espionage and discovered traces of a large group of Seven Stars human race warriors, including a suspected Second Rank expert, remember it¡¯s suspected, unconfirmed¡­ This is the truth, have you all got it?¡± Logan¡¯s icy gaze swept over his subordinates, ¡°I hope everyone can share in this merit.¡±


    The many Tianliang Clan warriors looked at each other and said in unison, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    About 300 kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley, in an inconspicuous gorge, a large number of Tianliang Clan warriors were stationed.


    ¡°Second Rank experts from the Seven Stars human race are here?¡±


    ¡°The Seven Stars human civilization must have discovered the secret of Flying Serpent Valley,¡± A bizarrely dressed young man named ¡®Xue Shu¡¯ looked at the message from Logan with cold eyes, ¡°There¡¯s no peaceful way out.¡±


    He had also discovered the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    But it was through analysis of some signs, rather than a direct inquiry into the bottom like Li Yuan, so he was unaware of the existence of a Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    Therefore, Xue Shu had been intending to monopolize the treasure and had been making preparations.


    He had not informed the Tianliang Clan¡¯s higher-ups in the Mingxu Star Realm previously.


    ¡°By myself, I¡¯m destined not to get it,¡± Xue Shu shook his head slightly and immediately switched on the communication device.


    1100 kilometers from the main base, communication was already possible.


    ¡­


    About 1400 kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley, there was a small city with a sci-fi feel to it, which, like the ¡®outpost base¡¯ of the Seven Stars human civilization, was also hidden within large mountain ranges, surrounded by jungle.


    It would not be easily detected.


    Here was the main Tianliang Clan stronghold in the Mingxu Star Realm, where a large number of cultivators gathered.


    Inside the stronghold, in a small meeting room, several figures clad in white gathered, each emitting an extraordinary aura.


    They all surrounded a large holographic projection.


    ¡°The current situation is as follows.¡±


    A figure in casual attire slowly said, ¡°Xue Shu is a core disciple of the Divine Palace and would not tell lies. The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is not that important in itself.¡±


    ¡°The key is the large quantity of live blood-source Lingzhi mushrooms. If they could mature and be mass-produced, this would definitely be a treasure trove.¡±


    ¡°I even suspect that there are other secrets at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley, worth our paying any price,¡± the casually dressed figure continued, ¡°My decision is to fight for it with all our might. Do you agree?¡±


    ¡°Agree!¡±


    ¡°Agree!¡±


    ¡°Abstain.¡±


    ¡°Good, six votes in favor, one abstention,¡± the casually dressed figure said, ¡°Execute immediately.¡±


    ¡°Right now, we¡¯ve lost the initiative.¡±


    ¡°The mechanical troops can only be dispatched as backup; we must first mobilize an elite team¡­ Delgado, Mo Li, the two of you will head there at full speed, join Xue Shu and his team and do your best to obstruct the actions of the Seven Stars human race team.¡±


    ¡°Our subsequent forces will arrive as quickly as possible.¡±


    ¡­


    Time ticked away second by second.


    On the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley, Li Yuan was quietly cultivating.


    After more than two hours of practicing the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡± he continued his training with the ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars,¡± guiding Origin Power into his body, propelling his Physical Quality to further improvement.


    ¡°[Your Life Level has risen from 19.0 to 19.1]¡±


    ¡°[Your strength, from¡­]¡± The Divine Palace panel flashed with several prompts in succession.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan noticed this: ¡°The great battle is near, and my strength has increased slightly, which is good.¡±


    The infusion of Origin Power into the body was not always available; most of the time, he still had to rely on step by step cultivation.


    Another hour went by.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spirit perceived something, sensing a powerful presence getting within a hundred meters, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end and his mind to instantly go on high alert.


    Subconsciously.


    Li Yuan already had a firm grip on the long spear before him, with Star Meridian Origin Power flowing in his body, ready to explode at any moment.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± a deep voice sounded.

 Chapter 224 - 182 The Battle Begins

    Chapter 224: Chapter 182 The Battle Begins


    ¡°Senior Liu Jing,¡± Li Yuan said with a flicker of joy in his heart as he heard the familiar voice and instantly emerged from the dark cave.


    Standing dozens of meters away was the blue-clad elder, none other than Liu Jing himself.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry to confirm that there was no mistake, a 24.2 level Prime Warrior.


    He didn¡¯t receive a Spiritual Nature warning; it was a person of the Seven Star Human Race.


    This was a point mentioned by a teacher in a general knowledge class: when adventuring in the Star Realm, always stay vigilant, never let success and joy cloud your mind.


    ¡°You¡¯ve hidden yourself quite well; if I hadn¡¯t located you using my smart ring, I might have had trouble finding you,¡± Liu Jing said with a chuckle.


    ...


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Senior, how did you get here so quickly?¡±


    From the time he had reported in to now, it hadn¡¯t even been five hours.


    ¡°After receiving the message, I discussed it with two other commanding officers and then set out immediately, making my way here as fast as I could,¡± Liu Jing said gravely. ¡°Also, I¡¯ve already checked out the Tianliang Clan dwelling you mentioned, according to the information on your map¡­ It¡¯s already deserted.¡±


    ¡°Deserted?¡± Li Yuan expressed his surprise.


    ¡°I observed the surroundings just now and found many Flying Serpent corpses around the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley; they must be from the battle you left behind,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°I guess the commotion must have scared them off, causing them to retreat quickly.¡±


    ¡°Senior, you¡¯re wise,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, stop flattering me,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve already done a preliminary survey of Flying Serpent Valley and can initially confirm the accuracy of your information. There¡¯s a substantial growth of Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi on the canyon walls¡­ I¡¯ve sent a message back, commanding the main force from the base to come here; they should arrive within three days.¡±


    ¡°Senior, that¡¯s impressive,¡± Li Yuan said, genuinely amazed and increasingly respectful. ¡°In such a short time, senior has accomplished so much; I am full of admiration.¡±


    In less than five hours, to have come from the base and then to investigate and explore the surroundings.


    Such dedication!


    ¡°It¡¯s all part of my duties; as a commanding officer, I naturally cannot slack off,¡± Liu Jing replied, unfazed.


    But in fact, Liu Jing had been resting not far away all these hours, adjusting his state of well-being.


    Feeling that his body had returned to peak condition, he immediately sought Li Yuan out.


    ¡°Senior, what should we do next?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Based on the information you provided, if Flying Serpent Valley is indeed suitable for the large-scale growth of ¡®Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi,¡¯ then it would be worth it for our Xia Country to invest significant resources,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Spending hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins, or even more, on building a war base here would be worth it.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi might not be highly valuable individually, but what if you could produce tens or even hundreds of thousands of them each year?


    In a way, its value exceeds that of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Because the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood can only help a few Martial Artists.


    However, a continuous supply of Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi could enable thousands of Martial Artists to grow faster.


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m no expert; we¡¯ll have to wait for those scientists to come over for testing,¡± Liu Jing said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; professional matters should be left to the professionals.


    ¡°In our next moves, there are some things we need to be aware of,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°First is the strength of the Tianliang Clan.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they already withdraw?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Xue Shu had explored the Flying Serpent Valley?¡± Liu Jing said seriously. ¡°We must consider the worst-case scenario in encounters with enemies, assuming that Xue Shu discovered the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood too¡­ He perhaps wanted to swallow the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit alone, which is why he hasn¡¯t reported it to the high levels of the Tianliang Clan yet.¡±


    ¡°Of course, there are many contradictions. Even if he is a 19-level genius, it would be difficult for him to defeat two Second Rank Flying Serpents,¡± Liu Jing added.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod, this was indeed a puzzling point.


    However, neither Liu Jing nor Li Yuan knew that Xue Shu, lacking Li Yuan¡¯s stealth ability, was completely unaware of the Second Rank Flying Serpents at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°Regardless.¡±


    ¡°He has been scared off by you for now, and assuming he reports to the high echelons of the Tianliang Clan, will they come to contend?¡± Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Flying Serpent Valley is much closer to our Seven Stars Human Race¡¯s forward outpost base.¡± Li Yuan hesitated a bit.


    ¡°But the Tianliang Clan has stronger strength and remote deployment capabilities,¡± Liu Jing sighed. ¡°Otherwise, how would they dare to strike at Observation Point 19?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew cold.


    Indeed, the Tianliang Clan¡¯s forces in Mingxu Star Realm were more formidable.


    ¡°But as you¡¯ve said, the proximity is our advantage.¡± Liu Jing smiled. ¡°Even if the Prime Warriors of the Tianliang Clan want to rush over, it will still take some time.¡±


    ¡°What we need to do is use this time to snatch the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.¡±


    ¡°Although Flying Serpent Valley is highly valuable, that is in respect to an entire country, an entire civilization,¡± Liu Jing solemnly said. ¡°If we achieve a great feat, should we manage to establish a plantation base in the future, as the first discoverers, we will receive a share of the profits for the next 20 years¡­ but in the short term, the profits are far less than those from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Flying Serpent Valley was highly valuable, but it would require Xia Country and even the Seven Star Alliance to invest significant resources for it to be effective.


    For powerful Martial Artists? The usefulness was minimal.


    Whereas the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits could directly net tens of billions of Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°After the grab, according to Alliance rules, you, as the finder, will get 20%, and the remaining 80% will be divided according to our contribution,¡± Liu Jing smiled. ¡°No objections, right?¡±


    ¡°No objections,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    If he had gone alone, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to get even 1%, but now he was guaranteed at least one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, so naturally, he had no objections.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t discuss this with the other two commanders?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°No need to say anything, they can¡¯t come. There are only three Prime Warriors at the base; we can¡¯t all leave,¡± Liu Jing said indifferently. ¡°We also don¡¯t have the time to wait for other First Rank Martial Artists, who wouldn¡¯t be much help anyway.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll follow the senior¡¯s arrangements,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    With other Prime Warriors whom he had only met a few times, Li Yuan would be very cautious, but he held a good deal of respect for Liu Jing,


    In the face of a Prime Warrior who had willingly defended a part of the country for thirty years, Li Yuan believed that the other party was not likely to betray him over a few Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    Of course, Li Yuan also remembered his teacher¡¯s words: even with trust in others, one must keep a reserve. Li Yuan had his own measures secretly in place, for one must never be without the caution against others.


    In the Star Realm, Martial Artists killing each other was not anyone¡¯s concern.


    ¡°My plan is quite simple,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°You will voluntarily descend into Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    ¡°The deeper the better.¡±


    ¡°Your stealth ability is stronger than mine, you¡¯re responsible for sneaking as close as possible to the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood,¡± Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Then I will make a move from high above the canyon, drawing the two Second Rank Flying Serpents and other serpents towards me¡­ You are responsible for taking the opportunity to seize the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.¡±


    ¡°After the grab, if you haven¡¯t been discovered, then escape stealthily on your own.¡±


    ¡°Once you¡¯ve successfully escaped, signal me, and I¡¯ll find a way to leave.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re discovered after the heist, in the short term, with your strength, ordinary First Rank Flying Serpents should pose little threat to you.¡±


    ¡°Then immediately flee my way, and I¡¯ll lead you out,¡± Liu Jing said.


    ¡°What about you, senior?¡± Li Yuan hesitated.


    ¡°`


    The plan sounds simple.


    But the biggest premise is that Liu Jing must be able to withstand the siege of two Second Rank Flying Serpents and tens of thousands of First Rank ones.


    ¡°Haha, looking down on me?¡± Liu Jing laughed, ¡°Although I cannot kill tens of thousands of Flying Serpents alone, it¡¯s very easy for me to just delay them a bit before helping you escape.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling relieved.


    As a 24th Level Prime Warrior and having held a position of power for decades, Senior Liu¡¯s considerations were surely more comprehensive than his own.


    ¡°In fact, if we weren¡¯t pressed for time and worried about the Second Rank Flying Serpents directly destroying the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit¡­¡±


    ¡°We could¡¯ve waited for the arrival of the mechanical troops and used heavy weaponry to slaughter the Flying Serpent swarm on a large scale,¡± Liu Jing said, ¡°The Flying Serpent swarm is weak, not worth mentioning.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    The Flying Serpent swarm is weak? That¡¯s only relative to the war machine of Xia Country.


    Soon.


    Li Yuan and Liu Jing discussed some details, checking time, location, escape routes, and emergency plans one by one.


    They set off immediately.


    ¡­


    Two suns hung high in the sky, bathing the land in light and making the dense, rolling fog within the Flying Serpent Valley seem to dissipate considerably.


    Clad in their Battle Garments, Li Yuan and Liu Jing had stealthily reached the edge of the canyon.


    Looking down from here, they could already spot numerous traces of Flying Serpents in the gorge.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin,¡± Liu Jing said in a low voice.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, with his Battle Garment cloaked in black and green to blend in with the environment as much as possible.


    He gripped his Long Spear.


    Whoosh! With a move, Li Yuan slid down along the vines towards the Flying Serpent Valley.


    This was his second infiltration, following a familiar route; it could be said he knew the road well, and his speed was much faster than last time.


    In just two minutes, Li Yuan had descended over 300 meters, completely disappearing into the mist.


    ¡°This young fellow really is formidable, his Stealth abilities¡­ Unity of Heaven and Man,¡± Liu Jing looked down, secretly impressed, as even with his keen sight, he could no longer see Li Yuan¡¯s position.


    Of course, the deeper he went, the slower he moved.


    15 minutes later, the Flying Serpent Valley remained as calm as ever, with only the occasional roars of Flying Serpents.


    ¡°Hasn¡¯t he reached the designated position yet?¡± Liu Jing was slightly worried in his heart.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ A slight vibration on the smart band on Liu Jing¡¯s arm showed a number¡ª0!


    0, means all is safe, everything is going as planned.


    1, means encountered difficulties, please wait.


    2, means request for support.


    Liu Jing¡¯s thoughts moved and he sent back a ¡°0¡± through the flashing light screen, then the Battle Garment wrapped around the smart band, turning him completely black.


    Only his eyes faintly shone through.


    Swish! He drew his Combat Saber from his back and, holding a shield in the other hand, Liu Jing felt a surge of heated blood boiling inside him.


    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve experienced such a big battle,¡± Liu Jing murmured to himself.


    Without concealing himself, Liu Jing stood up.


    Whoosh!


    Liu Jing leaped from the kilometer-high cliff, turning into a terrifying streak of light plunging downwards, with gravity and his own strength increasing his speed to nearly 200 meters per second in an instant.


    Boom! The terrifying speed caused the air to explode with a roar that spread in all directions.


    The sound made many Flying Serpents on the cliffside instinctively look up above.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Like a meteor collision, two massive Flying Serpents about 300 meters below on the cliffside were instantly split in half by Liu Jing¡¯s descending Combat Saber.


    Blood splattered everywhere, and with Liu Jing continuing to fall down the cliff, the horrific impact caused countless rocks to shatter and shoot out in all directions.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Liu Jing¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, with a powerful push from his legs, he flashed nearly a hundred meters across the cliffside in a blur.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± Another Level 18 Flying Serpent was killed midair, its massive body ripped into pieces.


    Flesh and blood fell everywhere.


    ¡°Roar!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± Finally, across the entire Flying Serpent Valley, the ear-splitting roars of hundreds, maybe thousands of Flying Serpents echoed, as if facing a mortal enemy.


    The sound spread rapidly, reaching the cliffs on both sides of the Flying Serpent Valley and even deeper within it.


    At this moment.


    Tens of thousands of Flying Serpents realized¡ªSecond Rank! A Second Rank Alien had arrived!!


    Within seconds.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Flying Serpents burst through the fog, shrieking as their wings flashed, rushing out.


    Almost at the same time.


    On the cliffs on both sides, even more Flying Serpents swiftly emerged, spreading their wings, with sharp eyes quickly targeting Liu Jing waiting on the cliffside.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! The Flying Serpents diving down from above were even faster, each one charging toward Liu Jing.


    ¡°Haha, bring it on,¡± Liu Jing revealed a cold smile.


    Boom! His body seemed to be engulfed in a blazing fire, as if he were a War God!!

    At the bottom of the canyon, about 1200 meters down.


    A nondescript black and green figure was lurking in the vines. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s started,¡± Li Yuan held his breath, as Flying Serpents from the caves around him dashed out frenziedly.


    They filled the sky.


    The horrendous number of the entire Flying Serpent swarm burst forth at this moment.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 225 - 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill!

    Chapter 225: Chapter 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill!


    Boom! Boom! Countless flying serpents burst out from the cave, fiercely clawing their way up the mountain wall with the aid of their wings and talons amid roaring sounds, all at astonishing speeds.


    The flying serpent swarm, despite the lower intelligence of the First Rank flying serpents compared to ordinary humans, had their own language for complex communication within the group.


    In a sense, this was a rather complete flying serpent kingdom.


    This scene made Li Yuan hold his breath.


    During his first exploration, Li Yuan had pondered what scene would unfold if they were forcefully taken¡­ Now, it seemed the level of danger was multiple times that of his prediction.


    Keep in mind that even though these flying serpents were only at level 15, each charge could exert tens of thousands of kilograms of force.


    ...


    Those at levels 18, 19, were even capable of unleashing tens of thousands of kilograms of force. With tens of thousands of flying serpents bursting forth, and Liu Jing remaining on the cliff face, his ability to dodge was greatly reduced.


    Right! With a single move, Liu Jing could kill a flying serpent.


    But just as a tiger dealing with ordinary humans, it would certainly be one strike per person.


    If thousands of ordinary humans were to attack a tiger without fear of death, even if unarmed, they would eventually beat the tiger to death.


    The disparity between Liu Jing and an ordinary flying serpent was even greater than that between a tiger and an ordinary human.


    But there were simply too many flying serpents.


    ¡°Wait a moment! The Second Rank flying serpents are still below.¡± Li Yuan remained prostrate in his original spot.


    Because he was holding a long spear, he was a bigger target and easier to reveal.


    This moment allowed no mistakes.


    According to the plan with senior Liu Jing, unless the two Second Rank flying serpents moved, he could not descend to the bottom of the canyon.


    Boom! Boom! In the narrow Flying Serpent Valley resembling a gorge, the sounds of explosions echoed continuously. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Following that.


    Crash! Boom! Like falling objects from the sky, massive flying serpents, with their heads severed, bodies torn in half, or frames blasted open, tumbled down.


    Their bodies hit the protruding boulders with a ¡®thud,¡¯ instantly becoming a bloody mess, and then continued to roll downward.


    Countless fragments of rock also began to fall, turning the air above the Flying Serpent Valley into a blood rain for a while.


    ¡­


    About 1500 meters above the canyon¡¯s bottom on the mountainside.


    This was a slope, also the battlefield specifically chosen by Liu Jing, where protruding stones on the slope were better suited for him to exert force and dodge.


    ¡°Roar!¡±


    ¡°Growl~¡± As many flying serpents attacked frenziedly, Liu Jing activated his battle garment and, like a black lightning, easily dodged the flying serpents.


    Even when he occasionally couldn¡¯t dodge, his robust physical quality allowed him to endure easily.


    Conversely, many of the flying serpents, although seemingly large in size, would inevitably die if struck by Liu Jing¡¯s sword.


    Even those that collided with Liu Jing¡¯s body were dealt heavy blows.


    This is what it means to be a Prime Warrior!


    Under normal circumstances, it¡¯s easy for a regular Prime Warrior to sweep away hundreds or thousands of First Rank creatures.


    Numerous bodies of the flying serpents continued to tumble down.


    ¡­


    At the canyon¡¯s bottom, beside the approximately ten-meter tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, two massive flying serpents slowly raised their heads.


    They had been awakened earlier but were reluctant to leave the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Two Second Rank flying serpents.


    ¡°Huff¡ªhuff¡ª¡± Compared to other flying serpents, these were the true behemoths, their bodies stretching nearly forty meters from head to long tail.


    Their midsection was especially thick, with talons like metal cast, gleaming and extremely sharp.


    Most noticeable were their heads, with slightly raised horns as if proclaiming their royal status.


    Flying serpents?


    No!


    As they propped up their massive bodies on their talons, standing ten meters high with wings spread wide and eclipsing the sky, they seemed more like two fearsome dragons than mere serpents!


    ¡°Thump~¡± One of the Second Rank flying serpents beat its wings fiercely, instantly stirring up a terrifying gust and deflecting a flying serpent¡¯s corpse that was falling from the sky to one side, avoiding hitting the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± The two Second Rank flying serpents let out a series of low roars, and from the cascading roars of the flying serpents above, they roughly understood the situation¡ªThe enemy was too powerful, and the First Rank flying serpents suffered heavy casualties.


    ¡°Growl~¡± Accompanied by a strange roar from one of the Second Rank flying serpents,


    Quickly.


    Boom! Boom!


    Dozens of large flying serpents over 20 meters in length darted out from the caves at the bottom of the canyon. They quickly began to crawl on the ground, prostrating themselves in front of the two gigantic Second Rank flying serpents, as if showing submission.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two Second Rank flying serpents¡¯ bodies shone with blue gleams, and then they shot upward at high speed, their velocity astonishingly quick.


    Flying!


    The Second Rank flying serpents, assisted by Origin Power, flew at an incredible rate, causing shock waves to spread in all directions.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The explosion of the two Second Rank flying serpents created a whirlwind that blasted in all directions, passing over where Li Yuan was hiding.


    Li Yuan clung to the cliff face, compressing his aura to its utmost, blending into the surrounding vines as if becoming one with them.


    He knew the critical moment had arrived.


    If he were to be noticed by the Second Rank flying serpents, all would be lost.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two Second Rank flying serpents did not detect Li Yuan as they swiftly swept past and disappeared into the thick fog.


    ¡°First step, success.¡± Li Yuan felt a surge of excitement, and with a flicker of thought, he sent a message to Liu Jing through his smart ring¡ª0!


    0, indicating safety, proceed as planned.


    ¡°Huuff!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s body slowly moved, continuing to feel his way towards the bottom of the canyon, where the entire flying serpent swarm was now focused on the great battle raging above.

 Chapter 226 - 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill! _2

    Chapter 226: Chapter 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill! _2


    Who could have imagined.


    A First Rank human martial artist, who seemed utterly insignificant in their eyes,


    was steadily approaching the core territory of their clan.


    Yet there were still a large number of Flying Serpents rushing out of the passage, and therefore, to avoid detection, Li Yuan¡¯s descent speed remained very slow.


    ¡­


    ¡°Huff!¡± ¡°Huff!¡± Two enormous Second Rank Flying Serpents, their flying speed was incredibly astonishing, rapidly exceeding 200 meters per second.


    ...


    They burst through the layers of fog and soared into the sky.


    ¡°Roar!¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± The two Second Rank Flying Serpents let out earth-shattering roars, their elongated pupils fixed on Liu Jing on the cliff, swiftly slaughtering one Flying Serpent after another.


    At this moment, tens of thousands of Flying Serpents had surrounded Liu Jing atop the cliff.


    All gazing at Liu Jing.


    With the serpents closing in, the heavens and earth seemed to turn into a dense mass of black.


    Ordinary people upon seeing this, would likely feel dizzy and chilled to the bone.


    ¡°Finally here.¡± Liu Jing revealed a smile, regarding the myriad serpents as nothing, solely focusing on the two Second Rank Flying Serpents breaking through the clouds.


    Prime Warriors cannot fly.


    And now, being on the cliff, Liu Jing would certainly not take the initiative to attack the two Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    Once airborne, without anything to push against, trouble would ensue.


    For Liu Jing, battling and slaughtering these Flying Serpents wasn¡¯t the goal; delaying until Li Yuan safely acquired the ¡°Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit¡± was.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The two Second Rank Flying Serpents could no longer contain themselves, their wings trembling, their massive bodies abruptly sprinted forward, streaking towards Liu Jing.


    Claws whooshing.


    ¡°Come.¡± Liu Jing, holding his Combat Saber, stared intently.


    He didn¡¯t have a Divine Palace control panel.


    But his combat experience was extremely rich; just from the two Flying Serpents¡¯ body sizes and velocity, among many other aspects, he could approximately deduce that these two Second Rank Flying Serpents were around level 22.


    At least 2 levels lower than him!


    However, in a battle between Second Rank powerhouses, due to the presence of Origin Power, each one had a much stronger life force. Even with a two-level difference, it was not an impossible fight.


    Moreover, the ability of Second Rank Flying Serpents to fly was an absolute advantage.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The hundreds and thousands of First Rank Flying Serpents, also under the command of their two leaders, once again crazily rushed towards Liu Jing, attempting to limit his ability to exert his full strength.


    ¡­


    At the bottom of the valley, the bodies of Flying Serpents continued to fall, raining blood.


    But it was visible to the naked eye.


    The number of Flying Serpents that originally spread across all parts of the valley floor was rapidly dwindling.


    Clearly, a large number of the higher-ranking Flying Serpents had already charged toward where Liu Jing was fighting.


    The distraction plan was incredibly successful and created an opportunity for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Fast!¡± S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I must be quick! Liu Jing¡¯s abilities are astonishing, but the cliffside is not a space suitable for his battle. Engaging head-on like this, the consumption of physical strength and Origin Power are tremendous,¡± Li Yuan thought anxiously, accelerating his descent while ensuring he remained concealed.


    He knew that Liu Jing was gambling with his life.


    In fact, if not for the worry that the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit would be destroyed in the battle, Liu Jing, with his abilities, could have entirely penetrated into the depths of Flying Serpent Valley alone¡­ but it would have been even more dangerous.


    At last.


    Li Yuan descended once again until he was about 300 meters above the valley floor, where the fog had completely dissipated.


    He could now clearly see the situation at the bottom of the valley, and this sight left him utterly stunned.


    Because!!


    The two Second Rank Flying Serpents were gone.


    But around that one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, massive Flying Serpents were coiled.


    Their bodies were particularly immense, each at least 20 meters in length.


    Each massive serpent head was raised high, watching the surroundings vigilantly; their bodies encircled the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood within a hundred meters, encasing it completely.


    Without leaving the slightest gap.


    ¡°Level 19.6! Level 19.2! Level 19.4¡­¡± Li Yuan quickly deployed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    This inquiry gave him quite the shock; the Flying Serpents guarding the valley floor all surpassed level 19, the highest even reaching level 19.9.


    They were just one step away from Second Rank.


    At a glance,


    there were more than 50 level 19 Flying Serpents, a truly terrifying guardian force, definitely second only to the two Serpent Kings within the Flying Serpent Valley.


    Facing such a large group of powerful Flying Serpents,


    without the strength of a Prime Warrior to break through, death was almost certain!!


    ¡°What to do?¡± Li Yuan rapidly pondered in his mind: ¡°With my abilities, it wouldn¡¯t be hard to get past these Flying Serpents¡­ but the key is how to leave?¡±


    These Flying Serpents were too dense; there was no more room for Li Yuan to move forward.


    He would definitely be discovered.


    After hesitating for merely a second,


    ¡°4.¡± Li Yuan activated his smart ring, sending four consecutive messages to Liu Jing.


    Four messages, four vibrations.


    Four vibrations meant he could no longer sneak in directly; a forceful intrusion was the only option, but there was still hope for success.


    Just two seconds later.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring vibrated, displaying a message of garbled text.


    It was from Liu Jing.


    One vibration signified¡ªit was time to go all out.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go for it.¡±


    ¡°If Senior Liu Jing is confident, then let¡¯s take the risk.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes turned icy cold.


    The current situation was much better than before; at least there were no Second Rank Flying Serpents blocking his path.


    Going after the treasure?


    Sometimes one had to risk everything. Nothing worthwhile ever came easy in this world.


    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡±


    In the dark chasm above, from the area shrouded in mist, came the deafening roars of Flying Serpents, with some still plummeting to the ground.


    Among them, a few particularly sharp roars easily penetrated the thousand-meter chasm.


    Resonating within the gorge.


    Without a doubt, those were the howls of Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    ¡°Can¡¯t delay any longer, with two Second Rank Flying Serpents leading so many others, Senior Liu Jing will only become more strained.¡± Li Yuan clenched his teeth.


    With a shift in posture and aided by the darkness, he continued to probe towards the bottom of the gorge.


    The deeper he went, the darker it became.


    Given Li Yuan¡¯s height and sticking close to the mountain wall¡­it was nearly impossible for the Flying Serpents to spot him.


    Whoosh!


    Silent and stealthy, Li Yuan finally found his way to the base of the chasm. It was damp and muddy, much like a swamp¡­ but Li Yuan, covered entirely in his Battle Garment, hardly cared about such nuisances.


    ¡°200 meters,¡± Li Yuan whispered, lying prone in the grass, gazing at the massive Flying Serpents in the distance.


    The grass, submerged in mud and water, mostly trampled and disheveled, but it provided Li Yuan ample cover.


    The stench here was unbearable, with thousands of Flying Serpents gathered and the air hardly circulating¡­the smell could only be imagined.


    Fortunately, the Battle Garment came with an air filter, which to some extent made it less suffocating for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Closer.¡±


    ¡°The closer, the better,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°It would be best to get within dozens of meters, then a sudden sprint would catch these Flying Serpents off guard.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath, inching closer and closer.


    In the sky above, the bodies of fallen Flying Serpents occasionally plummeted, drawing the attention of many of the guarding serpents.


    Which was fortunate.


    Li Yuan and Liu Jing had roughly estimated the location of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, so the battlefield Liu Jing chose was not directly overhead, but about 200 meters away horizontally.


    Hence, the falling Flying Serpents were unlikely to hit the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    ¡°50 meters,¡± Li Yuan paused again, as he dared not move further.


    In such an open space, with so many Flying Serpents present, their perception was not to be underestimated.


    Moving closer would certainly alert them.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes firmly fixed on the ¡®Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood¡¯ behind the rows of Flying Serpent bodies, eyeing the three silver-lit fruits on it.


    Subtlety of the soul! Countless fine strands of Vigor moved.


    Origin Power circulated! The Battle Garment activated.


    The next instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s legs exploded with power, propelling him like a bullet from a gun, his speed reaching a terrifying level, soaring over 100 meters per second in just one second.


    Just one second.


    In that time, Li Yuan could charge through 50 meters, breaking through the defense ring the Flying Serpents had formed.


    But these Flying Serpents, surpassing the 19th level, also had incredibly fast reaction times.


    In just a fraction of a second, as Li Yuan shot out thirty meters, the nearby serpents were already aware of his presence.


    Instinctively.


    ¡°Ang!¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± Several massive Flying Serpents leapt forward with a roar, attempting to intercept the human shadow blitzing towards them like lightning.


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were fiercely sharp as his speed burst to its limit.


    Boom! He dodged the attacking claws of two Flying Serpents with the quickness of lightning.


    His Long Spear was already thrusting forward furiously.


    ¡°Poom~¡±


    With a thrust of his spear, moving several times the speed of sound and unleashing a terrifying force of nearly a hundred thousand kilograms, its might far more ferocious than a cannonball, he tore a massive wound across the waist of another Flying Serpent.


    Blood spurted everywhere.


    Rip! Fully activating his Battle Garment, Li Yuan grazed past the serpent¡¯s ripped-open wound, barreling his huge body to one side.


    And finally, he broke through their defense.


    At this moment, the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood stood only a hundred meters away from Li Yuan.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Ang!¡± Then, the Flying Serpents guarding the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood started to howl madly.


    Wave after wave of frenzied, piercing roars echoed throughout the entire chasm.

 Chapter 227 - 184: Accomplishment Complete

    Chapter 227: Chapter 184: Accomplishment Complete


    Li Yuan launched a surprise attack about 50 meters away from the Flying Serpent¡¯s alert circle, but the serpent circle surrounded the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood by about a hundred meters.


    Hence, amidst Li Yuan¡¯s furious burst, in just one second he avoided the attacks from several Flying Serpents and even killed one directly, leaving him less than a hundred meters from the ancient tree.


    At this moment, the area that had been relatively quiet, with many craning their necks to watch the great battle above the canyon involving Level 19 Flying Serpents, erupted into complete frenzy.


    ¡°Ao~¡±


    ¡°Ao~¡± The dozens of Flying Serpents on alert around them let out roaring cries that crazily spread in all directions.


    Their narrow, sanguine eyes were now fixed deadly on Li Yuan, wishing they could tear him apart and devour him alive without a moment¡¯s hesitation.


    ...


    Bang! Bang! Bang! These Level 19 Flying Serpents, while roaring, were already charging toward Li Yuan with their massive bodies, trying to stop him.


    The spirit tree!


    This was not only the guardian task given to them by their three leaders but also their own deep longing.


    These Level 19 Flying Serpents were close to becoming Second Rank; they all understood that to break through the constraints of their bloodline and become Second Rank Flying Serpents, they must get permission from the three leaders to eat the strange fruit from the spirit wood.


    This exceptional spirit tree was the ¡®treasure¡¯ of the entire Flying Serpent tribe.


    It must not be lost.


    And the short-statured alien in front of them was here to steal it.


    No! Not steal!


    It was outright robbery!


    Oddly, the powerful serpents opposite the ancient tree didn¡¯t rush in a straight line but circled around the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, maintaining at least a seventy-meter distance as if wary of something.


    ¡°Are you panicking?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure was like lightning.


    The instant he broke through the defense perimeter, without any pause, his speed soared to a terrifying level, charging directly toward the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t dare to linger.


    ¡°Thirteen seconds!!¡±


    ¡°It takes at least five seconds for sound to travel from the bottom of the canyon to the top,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were fixed on the three fruits on the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood: ¡°And it¡¯s estimated to take about eight seconds for the two Second Rank Flying Serpents to return to the bottom of the valley.¡±


    ¡°I have about 13 seconds to snatch the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit and then make my escape,¡± Li Yuan thought rapidly, pondering in his mind.


    Thirteen seconds were the line between life and death.


    ¡°Swish!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s burst of speed was astonishing, even though his velocity had greatly reduced after the collision with one of the Flying Serpents.


    But after a slight adjustment and applying Vigor with Subtlety, his speed once again soared to over a hundred meters per second.


    Faster than all the Flying Serpents present, he could even compare with a Level 20 Prime Warrior.


    Whether it was treasure stealing or a battle for life and death.


    Victory or defeat sometimes hinged on a split second.


    In half a second, Li Yuan had once again covered 40 meters, and the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was now within sight.


    Just then.


    ¡°Bang~¡± As Li Yuan entered the vicinity of about 50 meters around the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, without warning or any sign, his head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.


    He was momentarily stunned, his legs went soft involuntarily, and he almost stumbled to the ground.


    His movement speed also sharply decreased.


    This was Spiritual Pressure!


    ¡°Damn!¡± Li Yuan was shocked inside; this was something neither he nor Liu Jing had anticipated.


    This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood had been releasing a terrifying ¡®Spiritual Pressure¡¯ within a certain range all along.


    Facing such Spiritual Pressure, even someone with spiritual power as strong as Li Yuan felt as if they had been struck by thunder.


    One could imagine the strength of this pressure.


    ¡°Ao!¡±


    ¡°Ao~¡± The dozens of surrounding Flying Serpents, circling roughly sixty meters from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, saw that Li Yuan had entered the fifty-meter zone, their eyes filled with wariness, not daring to approach any closer.


    Why did they circle a hundred meters around the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood?


    It was because they had suffered for it before.


    Even in their memory, when the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was first born, some of the weaker Flying Serpents that carelessly approached too close were literally shaken to death, their consciousness shattered.


    Their bodies showed no wounds, yet they died.


    Rare Heavenly Materials Treasures are powerful, but the rarer they are, the more dangerous they tend to be.


    ¡°These Flying Serpents don¡¯t dare to approach anymore?¡± Li Yuan noticed this.


    His spiritual power was ultimately strong, he had recovered his clarity, and endured the force of the spiritual pressure.


    He continued to walk towards the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    But most of Li Yuan¡¯s energy had to be used to fend off the Spiritual Pressure, and his speed unconsciously slowed down.


    ¡°Spiritual Pressure?¡±


    ¡°A ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood really is no ordinary entity,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes revealed shock and joy: ¡°Previously, our Seven Stars human civilization had never recorded a ¡®Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood¡¯ being so special.¡±


    ¡°Could it be a Fourth Rank treasure?¡±


    On his first descent into Flying Serpent Valley, Li Yuan had suspected it to be a Fourth Rank treasure, but it was more of a comforting thought than true belief.


    Now? Li Yuan felt it might indeed be a Fourth Rank treasure.


    At the very least, judging from the current signs, its effects should far exceed the ordinary Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit.


    ¡°Strange, with my near Level 29 spiritual power and Level 30 willpower, I¡¯m still finding it difficult; how did the Flying Serpents approach the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood before?¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth as he endured and kept approaching.


    Logically, Flying Serpents that hadn¡¯t broken through should only be at Life Level 19, their spiritual power and willpower couldn¡¯t be too strong.


    There were only two possibilities.


    First, this was the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood¡¯s first fruit-bearing.


    Second, once the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits truly matured, this terrifying Spiritual Pressure would dissipate, or at least, its power would diminish greatly.


    ¡°These Flying Serpents can only watch me steal the treasure,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind was racing, but his body didn¡¯t dare to relax even slightly.


    At this moment, every second was critical.


    Seconds ticked by.


    The hissing roars of the Flying Serpents echoed continuously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More Flying Serpents, sensing the disturbance, swiftly swooped down from the caves on either side of the cliff.


    The number of Flying Serpents gathered at the bottom of the canyon surged, yet none dared to approach the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Moreover, most of the Flying Serpents still in the caves were only about Level 15, with fairly ordinary strength.


    ¡°Ao!¡±


    ¡°Ao~¡± The dozens of Level 19 Flying Serpents at the very front were anxiously hissing, conveying their resolve but still not daring to come close.


    In their subconscious, the spiritual pressure was too tormenting, and the overpowering presence was so strong that even their three leaders would find it difficult to break through directly.


    Let alone them.


    ¡­


    Above the canyon, on the cliff, thousands of Flying Serpents were frantically attacking Liu Jing.


    Especially the two Second Rank Flying Serpents, fully unleashing their power, their bodies enshrouded in a hazy blue glow like azure dragons, appeared even more terrifying.


    ¡°Roar!¡± The two Second Rank Flying Serpents roared as they flapped their wings time after time, swinging their claws, and occasionally opened their gaping maws wide, trying to rip Liu Jing to shreds or even swallow him whole.


    The explosive power of the Second Rank Flying Serpents was incomparable to that of the First Rank.


    Huge rocks shattered thunderously as if they were simply tofu.


    Boom! Boom! Countless pieces of rubble fell.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh!¡± Luminous blades rose above the cliff, flames flowing on the blades, indicating terrifying lethality.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± Liu Jing¡¯s eyes were ice-cold as he swung his saber swiftly.


    And down plunged the corpse of a First Rank Flying Serpent.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Liu Jing¡¯s Combat Saber was as ferocious as fire, and his movements as swift as the wind. He avoided the pounce of the two Second Rank Flying Serpents time after time.


    ¡°Second Rank Flying Serpents are truly troublesome. Although they are far weaker than me, the Origin Power protecting their bodies, combined with their massive size, means I can¡¯t directly kill them for the moment,¡± Liu Jing frowned.


    When it came to skills, the speed of his explosive power, or the robustness of his Origin Power, Liu Jing greatly surpassed both Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    He tormented them time and again.


    But due to their Origin Power shield and the large body size of the Flying Serpents, even after being attacked and injured by Liu Jing repeatedly, they were able to hold on.


    The most crucial point was.


    The Second Rank Flying Serpents could fly and might escape into the sky if they were not careful¡­ and Liu Jing did not want to ascend onto their bodies.


    To do so might allow him to quickly kill them, but the risk was also great, and he could likely be severely injured himself.


    ¡°If this goes on, my Origin Power will be completely exhausted,¡± Liu Jing¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly.


    Fighting in place, whether dodging or attacking, he couldn¡¯t afford to spare his Origin Power. One misstep could cause severe injury, naturally leading to high consumption.


    ¡°Where is Li Yuan? So much time has passed, has he not succeeded yet?¡± Liu Jing wondered, ¡°Could something have gone wrong?¡±


    He was concerned for Li Yuan¡¯s safety.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± A series of sharp and piercing roars erupted from the valley below, resonating through the Vast Sky.


    In an instant.


    The two Second Rank Flying Serpents immediately stopped their attacks on Liu Jing, their eyes filled with bloodlust.


    They were highly intelligent, rivaling ordinary humans, and immediately realized that they had been lured away by a feint.


    Their home had been stolen.


    ¡°Ao~¡±


    ¡°Ao~¡± The two Second Rank Flying Serpents roared with endless fury in their voices, their dragon-like tails swinging to adjust their massive bodies as they dove toward the depths of the clouds in Flying Serpent Valley.


    This roar was also a command.


    ¡°Ao~¡±


    ¡°Ao~¡± The thousands of Flying Serpents trying to attack Liu Jing from various directions along the cliffside also began hissing.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Hundreds upon hundreds of Flying Serpents spread their wings and dived toward the fog below, and for a moment, the sky looked as though it was raining dumplings.


    But what fell was not dumplings¡ªit was Flying Serpents!


    ¡°Did he make his move?¡± Liu Jing instantly understood.


    Li Yuan must have acted, maybe even already seized the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit¡­ Otherwise, these Flying Serpents would not be so frantic, completely ignoring their own safety.


    Boom!


    Liu Jing, just half a beat behind, leaned forward slightly, and as he tilted downward, his legs exploded with power, and like a meteor, he dashed towards the bottom of the canyon.


    Boom! Boom! Liu Jing¡¯s speed was so fierce that he even seemed a bit faster than the two Flying Serpents.


    ¡°Hold on.¡± Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you must hold on,¡± Liu Jing focused intently, silently urging in his heart.


    The entire plan¡¯s first phase was for Liu Jing to withstand the attack of so many Flying Serpents.


    The second phase¡¯s key was for Li Yuan to withstand the siege of a large number of Flying Serpents.


    ¡­


    At the bottom of the canyon, the spiritual pressure from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was astounding.


    But relying on his own nearly Flying Heaven Warrior-level spiritual power, Li Yuan braved this terrifying pressure and, taking about five seconds, covered sixty meters, and reached the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Without a moment¡¯s pause.


    Puff! Puff! Puff!


    In a flash, Li Yuan¡¯s figure shot up, his arms exerting force as he climbed the tree, and swiftly plucked the three yet-to-ripen ¡®Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit,¡¯ tucking them into his Battle Garment.


    Success was in hand.


    ¡°Time to escape for my life,¡± Li Yuan glanced around, immediately realizing how dire his situation was.

 Chapter 228 - 185 Madness! Contending Against Second Rank!

    Chapter 228: Chapter 185 Madness! Contending Against Second Rank!


    Upon his initial inquiry, Li Yuan discovered that the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits had not yet fully matured.


    But their surfaces shimmered with silver light, which according to the Martial Hall¡¯s database, indicated they were entering maturity and would normally be 80 to 90 percent effective.


    Waiting for a Heavenly Materials Treasure to fully mature? Too difficult.


    Many growing Heavenly Materials Treasures, once discovered, are often guarded, and once they mature, they are mostly used right away.


    Even some powerful beings, upon finding many unripe spiritual fruits of Heavenly Materials Treasures, would not hesitate to consume them directly.


    Because, during the growth of Heavenly Materials Treasures, many unusual phenomena often occur, easily attracting the covetous eyes of formidable beings.


    ...


    To consume them directly was the best choice.


    Once in the stomach, all is safe.


    Like the Flying Serpent clan, for one, they found it very difficult to withstand the Spiritual Pressure of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, and secondly, they believed in their own clan¡¯s strength to guard the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    That¡¯s why they were in no hurry and patiently waited for it to fully mature.


    But as it turned out, they could guard it temporarily, but not forever.


    ¡°So many Flying Serpents.¡± Li Yuan noticed an alarmingly large number of them all around.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hiss hiss hiss~¡±


    As soon as the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits were picked, this ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood beside Li Yuan began to ¡°collapse¡± and ¡°contract¡± all of a sudden, dissolving into the ground like a liquid at lightning speed.


    ¡°Huh? This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood?¡± Li Yuan was astounded by this scene.


    This was an event not mentioned in the databanks of the Seven Stars human civilization; after all, available cases were limited.


    ¡°Not good.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed.


    Because!


    The instant the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood began to collapse, Li Yuan felt the horrific spiritual pressure that had enveloped the area for tens of meters disappear without a trace.


    With no Spiritual Pressure, all the Flying Serpents at the bottom of the gorge would be unrestrained!


    At the same time.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring was trembling madly¡ªit was a message from Liu Jing.


    Although there was no signal within Flying Serpent Valley.


    But with close proximity, as long as it was not blocked by large mountains or specially interfered with, messaging each other was possible.


    And the continuous mad vibrations of the smart ring meant one thing¡ªthe situation was urgent! Second Rank Flying Serpents were returning!


    This was the final phase of the plan.


    It seems slow to describe.


    But in actuality, the moment the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood collapsed and the pressure dissipated, Li Yuan moved, holding the long spear and whooshing into the distance.


    His speed soared.


    ¡°I must meet up with Senior Liu quickly,¡± flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    With his move,


    Thousands of Flying Serpents that had gathered from all directions also began to roar and surge into action.


    From the moment Li Yuan appeared to the seizing of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, a mere eight seconds passed, and already enough Flying Serpents had assembled.


    ¡°Roar roar roar~¡± A sky-covering swarm of Flying Serpents roared and madly lunged toward Li Yuan.


    These Flying Serpents were at least at Life Level 15.


    Many who had stood on high cliffs also spread their wings at this moment, diving toward Li Yuan, almost obscuring the sky like layers of nets enveloping him from above.


    From all directions!


    Above and below!


    Groups of Flying Serpents, like torrents of black water, rushed crazily towards Li Yuan, wanting to tear him to shreds.


    One could say.


    Against such a sky-covering swarm of Flying Serpents, even a freshly advanced Prime Warrior would find it difficult to get through.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The eyes of Li Yuan were fierce as he infused Origin Power, fully activating his Origin Power Battle Suit.


    The situation before him was one he had anticipated long ago.


    Since that was the case, and yet he dared to come,


    It meant Li Yuan had great confidence in his own strength.


    Boom! Li Yuan¡¯s figure, like lightning, spear in hand, charged directly into the flood-like swarm of Flying Serpents.


    Whoosh!


    His figure, like a gust of wind, was ethereal and unpredictable as he narrowly dodged a Flying Serpent¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Thud!¡± His long spear swept through, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and blood sprayed.


    The heads of two Flying Serpents were pierced through, their massive bodies continuing to charge forward by inertia.


    ¡°Bang~¡± The corpses of the two Flying Serpents hit several others that were falling down, creating a scene reminiscent of a car crash.


    Thump~ Li Yuan stepped ferociously onto the body of a Flying Serpent, dodged a massive bite, and like a nimble elf, stepped on the creature¡¯s head, kicking it so explosively that it burst apart before he used the momentum to spring upwards.


    He darted past the multitude of Flying Serpents like a bolt of lightning.


    Thud! Thud! Thud! Spear Light flashed and blood mists rose!


    One after another, Flying Serpents fell.


    This scene, if seen by other First Rank Martial Artists, would be utterly astonishing and dumbfounding.


    Too formidable.


    In terms of speed, Li Yuan in a state of Subtlety could barely rival a 20th Level Martial Artist.


    But among these Flying Serpents, there were almost some on the verge of 20th Level, the pinnacle of First Rank.


    Concerning power bursts, Li Yuan¡¯s peak was over 90,000 kilograms, comparable to a 20th Level Martial Artist.


    Li Yuan¡¯s explosive speed and power were stronger than any Flying Serpent present,


    But there was no fundamental difference.


    In this overwhelming besiegement, another 19th Level Martial Artist, even equipped with an Origin Power Battle Garment, could only withstand a bit longer at most.


    Yet Li Yuan could repeatedly seize the ¡®moment¡¯ in time.


    Always dancing on the edge of a knife, never getting injured.


    Around him, the sky-filled roars and lunges of the Flying Serpents seemed to be under his control.


    This was Unity of Heaven and Man.


    In a state of attuning with heaven and earth,


    Li Yuan¡¯s perception of his own Vigor, the environment, the prediction of enemy moves, and the application of his own techniques reached an unbelievably advanced level.


    By comparison,


    The skills of these Flying Serpents are really too rough, generally only at the Second Rank level, with very few reaching the Third Rank.


    Occasionally.


    Even when faced with an insurmountable swarm of Flying Serpents blocking the way, Li Yuan would charge through decisively, seeking the weakest point and breaking through the obstacles ahead.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡±


    Upon collision with the Flying Serpents, the terrifying impact force came crashing continuously, but Li Yuan could still easily fend it off with his Origin Power Battle Suit.


    Without the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, the Origin Power Battle Suit would be useless to Li Yuan.


    Without the Battle Suit, Li Yuan would not have the slightest margin for error.


    But with the two combined, Li Yuan¡¯s overall strength was elevated to an incredibly terrifying level.


    Just four seconds.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Like a whirlwind, the terrifying lethality of Li Yuan¡¯s long spear killed more than forty Flying Serpents, breaking out of the most central and dangerous encirclement.


    ¡°Broke out.¡±


    ¡°Kill.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were bright and spirited, his heart filled with a soaring battle spirit.


    Those last four seconds.


    Were terrifying and had given Li Yuan a huge shock to his spirit.


    The thrill of skirting the line between life and death made his blood surge even more fervently in his heart.


    That¡¯s right! Extremely dangerous.


    But it is in danger that the most primal force for evolution in life is stimulated.


    It¡¯s only through life and death tribulations that great achievements are made.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure was like lightning, grasping vines with one hand and leaping up the cliff face like a monkey, his speed astoundingly quick.


    A single movement and he had leaped tens of meters.


    Charge!


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Aaah~¡± A large number of Flying Serpents were diving down from higher up, each one incredibly ferocious.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Below, a massive swarm of Flying Serpents like a torrential flood, using wings and claws, kept leaping up, trying to slay Li Yuan.


    Still a pincer attack.


    ¡°Haha, die.¡± Li Yuan felt an immense thrill in his heart, his mind operating at its limit, unconsciously, he had completely merged with the environment.


    He had but one thought¡ªkill! Carve out a path of blood.


    ¡°Bang~¡± With a body collision, Li Yuan¡¯s speed soared even faster.


    Pfft!


    The long spear thrust out, directly killing two Flying Serpents; their huge bodies fell, causing a group of Flying Serpents below to slow down significantly, and even following them down into the gorge.


    Whoosh!


    Like a gust of wind, he dodged the frontal assaults of Flying Serpents from both sides, leaping into the air as the two Flying Serpents collided with each other.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Li Yuan had already climbed over a hundred meters up the cliff, initially out of danger.


    ¡°Aaah~¡±


    A terrifying roar echoed down from the dark mists above.


    Boom! A horrifying gale swept across the cliff sides, a humongous Flying Serpent broke through the clouds, its eyes revealing a crazed intent to kill, swooping down with a howl.


    It¡¯s a Second Rank Flying Serpent!!


    A Flying Serpent of the 21.3rd Level of Life!


    ¡°Here it comes.¡± Li Yuan held his long spear and stared upwards at the massive creature diving down rapidly.


    His whole body gathered power, the tip of his spear raised high.


    ¡°Die!¡± The Second Rank Flying Serpent glared at Li Yuan, aware that the treasure was on him. Its two front claws, like burning blue flames and taller than a person, reached out.


    ¡°Give it to me! Break!¡± Li Yuan moved, dodging the terrifying claws, then with a powerful thrust of his legs, the long spear burst forth, a streak of light flashing along its tip.


    Spear Light erupted!


    He unleashed the fastest thrust of the Stellar Spear Technique¡ªDawn Pierces the Clouds.


    ¡°Woosh!¡±


    This thrust instantly passed over an existing wound on the body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    Even as Origin Power tried desperately to fend off the penetration of the spear tip.


    Still, the strength of Li Yuan¡¯s thrust was so powerful that it enlarged the wound even further.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡±


    The massive body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent collided with the mountain wall; the collision was like a sky crumbling and earth shattering explosion, with countless shattered rocks flying.


    Whoosh!


    A streak of black light passed by, and Li Yuan, dressed in his Origin Power Battle Suit, had darted out from under one of its wings, shooting up towards the sky, swiftly fleeing upwards.


    ¡°Aaaah~~¡± The Second Rank Flying Serpent let out an angry roar; in the brief exchange, it had not gained any advantage.


    In fact, it was at a slight disadvantage.


    Because Li Yuan had injured it, while its attacks could not even touch him.


    Whoosh!


    The Second Rank Flying Serpent flipped and vibrated its wings, smacking them against the cliff face, once again stirring up numerous shattered stones, lightning-fast pursuing Li Yuan.


    In terms of speed alone, Li Yuan of course could not keep up with it.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The giant wings swept past, their edges sharp as combat sabers, while its claws also suddenly clawed out. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Obviously.


    The Second Rank Flying Serpent had also gone mad.


    ¡°Scram!¡± Li Yuan disposed of a First Rank Flying Serpent with a single spear thrust, and seeing the Second Rank Flying Serpent attacking, his eyes glared back at it.


    Whoosh whoosh~Boom! Boom!


    Man and beast, chasing and fleeing on the cliff face, engaged in an intensely fierce battle.


    This Second Rank Flying Serpent held absolute advantages in terms of strength, speed, and Origin Power among many other aspects.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s movement technique was formidable, easily dodging the fatal moves time and again, even more effortlessly than Liu Jing.


    And his spear, too, was incredibly sharp, inflicting damage on the Second Rank Flying Serpent over and over.

    Chapter 229: Chapter 186: The Flying Serpent King? Liu Jing of the Burning Star! (Add more 4)


    Li Yuan and the Second-Rank Flying Serpent¡¯s fierce battle also caused a large number of First-Rank Flying Serpents to dare not approach, only daring to watch the battle from afar.


    Several seconds after Li Yuan¡¯s battle with the Second-Rank Flying Serpent.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Mist churned above.


    Then, a massive Flying Serpent, over forty meters long, fell powerlessly downward, its huge body tumbling freely.


    It was covered in blood, its waist and abdomen ripped open by a ghastly, terrifying wound, and numerous organs tumbled down with it.


    ...


    It was obviously not going to survive.


    Atop its body was a nearly two-meter tall flame figure.


    Clinging to the Flying Serpent¡¯s feathered wings with one hand and holding a Combat Saber in the other, the figure plummeted at high speed.


    It was none other than Liu Jing.


    ¡°Senior Liu!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face showed delight, his heart even more shaken.


    The opponent was surrounded by numerous Flying Serpents, yet managed to kill a Second-Rank in such a short time?


    Such formidable strength.


    But before Li Yuan could rejoice,


    ¡°Escape!¡± Liu Jing erupted in a thunderous roar, seeming utterly desperate.


    Immediately following, he forcefully kicked off the corpse beneath him, propelling himself back to the cliffside.


    Boom!


    Liu Jing slammed against the cliffside, tumbling down over ten meters with the inertia.


    Then, like a streak of light, he stamped against the cliff, using it to leap forward, dashing towards Li Yuan who was battling another Second-Rank Flying Serpent.


    ¡°Escape?¡± Li Yuan first froze for a moment, then, realizing something, looked up sharply. His pupils constricted instantly.


    Whoosh!


    An even larger Flying Serpent had just broken through the mist, diving down with its wings spread wide, casting a shadow as if to block out the sun. Its eyes were filled with deadly intent.


    It was a Second-Rank Flying Serpent!


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level is 25.1]¡± Li Yuan¡¯s complexion changed slightly.


    25.1!!


    Flying Serpent Valley was not home to just two low-level Second-Rank Serpents.


    There was also a Flying Serpent King, close to the high rank of Second-Rank, concealed within!


    This completely exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s expectations and went beyond the original plan he had with Liu Jing.


    Boom!


    The Flying Serpent King swooped in, its terrifying Physical Quality combined with Origin Power and the dive gave it an unbelievable speed.


    As it nosedived, the passage of its wings brought forth fearsome shockwaves that caused the cliffs to explode violently.


    Too fast.


    This moment, the diving speed of the Flying Serpent King nearly reached the speed of sound.


    Whoosh~


    The other Second-Rank Flying Serpent desperately flapped its wings, trying to shake off Li Yuan, creating space for the Flying Serpent King to attack.


    ¡°Want to leave!¡± Madness filled Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he doggedly entangled with it.


    At this moment,


    All Li Yuan could think of was his only chance of survival: to stay entangled with this Second-Rank Flying Serpent so the Flying Serpent King couldn¡¯t fully attack him.


    If he faced it alone? It was undoubtedly a death sentence!


    A difference of six levels in Life Level, along with the huge disparity in Physical Quality, would obliterate any skill difference.


    It would be an instant kill.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The Flying Serpent King made its ultimate dive, letting out an angry roar. As Li Yuan had anticipated, it was wary of harming the other Second-Rank Flying Serpent and did not dare to attack full-force.


    Thwack! A lethal claw swung down, narrowly avoided by Li Yuan in a close shave.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The other Second-Rank Flying Serpent suddenly rolled in disregard of its wounds, its wing striking Li Yuan with terrible force, flinging him away instantly.


    Li Yuan slammed hard against the cliff wall.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    The Flying Serpent King let out an infuriated roar. Its treasures were stolen, its kin slain, and having been previously in slumber, it was now enraged to the extreme, vowing to exterminate these invaders.


    Swish!


    Its wings cut through fiercely, like a giant Combat Saber sweeping everything before it, slicing through numerous rocks as if they were tofu, and slashing towards Li Yuan with lightning speed.


    The angry strike was too fast.


    So fast that Li Yuan couldn¡¯t react in time.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A flaming figure, moving as smoothly on the cliff as if it were flat ground, burst upward in a Flying Heaven motion, brushing past Li Yuan.


    Like a supreme War God, it met the furious downward swipe of the wing head-on.


    Accompanied by the flame figure¡¯s soaring charge,


    ¡°Quick, escape.¡± A roar almost simultaneously echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s ears.


    It was Liu Jing!


    In this critical moment, Liu Jing finally rushed up from below, completely frenzied.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Liu Jing fixed his gaze on the descending giant wing, swinging his Combat Saber resolutely.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A blaze of saber light shone brilliantly, slashing from bottom to top, directly meeting the descending massive snake wing.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The collision of the two Second-Rank powerhouses erupted with a terrifying noise, and the shockwaves spread wildly in all directions.


    The staggering impact, transmitted through the saber and the Battle Garment, caused Liu Jing to involuntarily fall, with rocks tumbling around him.


    He swung his saber in counter.


    ¡°Clang~¡± The Combat Saber stabbed into the cliffside lightning-fast, immediately creating a visible terrifying crack.


    He slid tens of meters before finally stopping.


    Meanwhile, the massive Flying Serpent King also suffered, as it shook its wings to gain altitude. One of its wings bore a deep wound revealing bone.


    But with Origin Power circulating, it locked down its muscles, preventing much blood from spilling.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The 21.3 level Second-Rank Flying Serpent that had been battling with Li Yuan watched intently from hundreds of meters away on the other side of the gorge, eyeing Li Yuan and Liu Jing with eyes full of malice.


    After the previous battle, even the more powerful Second-Rank Flying Serpent had been killed by Liu Jing.


    It knew it was no match for Liu Jing.


    Even Li Yuan seemed slightly stronger.


    However, with the strength of this Second-Rank Flying Serpent, Li Yuan and Liu Jing had to remain on guard.


    ¡°We must leave, my Origin Power is running low,¡± Liu Jing growled urgently: ¡°I can¡¯t hold out much longer.¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t escape Flying Serpent Valley before I die, then soon no one will be able to escape.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s face changed.


    Origin Power nearly depleted?


    Second Rank warriors may have formidable physical quality.


    But the core of their powerful vitality is still Origin Power.


    Without Origin Power, it¡¯s more than ten times easier for a First Rank to pile up and kill a Second Rank warrior.


    ¡°Senior, I¡­¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    ¡°Stop the nonsense, get moving, don¡¯t let me die in vain,¡± Liu Jing¡¯s voice was icy cold, ¡°It was my plan that failed, now I¡¯m giving you a chance to escape.¡±


    Liu Jing¡¯s face was covered by his battle garment, preventing Li Yuan from seeing his expression.


    If he could have seen it,


    Li Yuan would definitely have noticed the terrifying determination and madness in Liu Jing¡¯s eyes at that moment.


    No more hesitation.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± With a flash, Li Yuan quickly retreated into the distance.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    The Flying Serpent King, with a body length close to 50 meters and wings that darkened the sky, let out an enraged roar upon seeing this and then, with a thunderous boom, abruptly dived towards Li Yuan.


    Liu Jing?


    No! Its target was Li Yuan; it had to take back the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit first.


    Boom! The Flying Serpent King¡¯s speed soared, and the air burst loudly.


    ¡°Kill Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Not without getting past me first,¡± a hint of resoluteness flashed in Liu Jing¡¯s eyes.


    The past dozen seconds.


    Liu Jing was originally pursuing two Second Rank Flying Serpents when suddenly the Flying Serpent King emerged, giving him a big scare.


    Without hesitation, he desperately tried to kill the stronger of the two Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    Then the Flying Serpent King made its move.


    In the current situation, Liu Jing had already figured it out, escape together? His Origin Power wasn¡¯t enough to sustain continued combat, certain death without a doubt!


    Escape alone? Li Yuan would be killed in one strike by the Flying Serpent King, and then it would still pursue him, leading to an inevitable battle.


    If that¡¯s the case.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s fight! Fight! A Level 25 Flying Serpent King? So covert and unrevealed, it deserves to die,¡± Liu Jing roared inwardly.


    At that moment, without any hesitation, he directly executed his most powerful Origin Power Secret Technique¡ªBurning Stars.


    Burning his Star Meridians! Burning his Life Star! Activating all the Origin Power potential contained within his body.


    Boom!


    Liu Jing¡¯s body flames burned even hotter, his legs powered up, creating afterimages as he raced along the mountain wall towards Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The Flying Serpent King¡¯s wings vibrated, trying to dodge.


    ¡°Dodge your mother!!¡± Liu Jing roared, his legs fiercely trampling the solid rocks.


    Boom!


    He shot out like a cannonball, his speed soaring, darting through the sky like lightning, precisely aiming at the Flying Serpent King diving towards Li Yuan.


    Too fast.


    The Flying Serpent Valley was too narrow for the Flying Serpent King and Liu Jing.


    The two were only a hundred meters apart.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Liu Jing¡¯s entire body instantly collided with the massive body of the Flying Serpent King, the terrible impact causing the Flying Serpent King to involuntarily start tumbling.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Threads of fiery saber light blossomed layer upon layer, Liu Jing completely unleashed his power, executing the ¡°Burning Stars¡± secret technique, leaving him no way out.


    Only a desperate struggle could bring victory.


    ¡°Roar~ Shout!!¡± The Flying Serpent King roared furiously, the repeated injuries driving it completely mad, its huge slender eyes fixated on Liu Jing.


    In an instant,


    The Flying Serpent King made up its mind¡ª to kill this human.


    Li Yuan? He had already been removed from its priority list of targets.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    The Flying Serpent King let out an enraged roar, its massive body tumbling as wings, claws, and gaping maw¡­all became weapons in its frenzied attack on Liu Jing.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Liu Jing, with astonishing speed, rapidly moved across its colossal body, desperately dodging its attacks, avoiding being thrown off.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    At that moment, a stream of flame and a beam of blue light furiously clashed and battled each other, relentlessly chasing each other.


    Gradually falling deeper into the canyon, the terrifying aftermath of their confrontation caused many weaker Flying Serpents along their path to die.


    ¡­


    Seeing the terrifyingly strong Flying Serpent King entangled,


    Whoosh! Li Yuan bit his lip, understood it wasn¡¯t the time for sentimentality, seized the opportunity, his figure flickered and rapidly escaped higher up the canyon.


    Thud! Thud! The long spear shot out, striking and killing several Flying Serpents blocking the way, causing them to plummet into the depths of the canyon.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    A fearsome piercing scream echoed through Flying Serpent Valley.


    Li Yuan glanced up slightly to see a huge Flying Serpent breaking through the clouds and swiftly diving towards him.


    It was that 21.3 Level Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    It had been ordered by the Flying Serpent King to pursue and kill Li Yuan.


    Roar~ Roar~


    A large number of Level 18 and above Flying Serpents, also following the commands of the Flying Serpent King, were crazily converging on Li Yuan from all directions.


    ¡°Again?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold as ice as he fended off the attacks from the Second Rank Flying Serpent while desperately fleeing.


    Speeding along the mountain wall toward the top of the ravine like lightning.


    Prime Warriors, with their robust Origin Power, don¡¯t demand much from the terrain once they start fighting for their lives.


    But ultimately, Li Yuan was still not up to par; his strength was greatly limited on the mountain wall.


    Rumble~ The battle was intense.


    However,


    If it had started at the bottom of the valley, two Second Rank Flying Serpents leading a large group of First Rank could have had a chance to besiege and kill Li Yuan.


    Now there was only one left, in addition to the higher-ranked Flying Serpents scattered from being killed?


    Thinking of stopping Li Yuan was nothing short of a fool¡¯s dream.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan had already rushed into the clouds, his ascent rate increasing ever faster, and the Second Rank Flying Serpent was completely unable to handle Li Yuan¡­ even sustaining continuous injuries from Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.

    The Second Rank Flying Serpent, which was already severely injured by Liu Jing, now had even more grievous wounds.


    Dozens of seconds later, Li Yuan had burst through the clouds, less than five hundred meters from the cliff top.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Roar~¡± A dismal scream tore through the vast sky, traveling up from the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley, the sound thunderous, as if it contained endless rage and reluctance.

    Chapter 230: Chapter 187 Shut Up, You Won¡¯t Die (Extra 5)


    ¡°`


    This roar echoed through heaven and earth.


    ¡°The Flying Serpent King¡¯s roar?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s complexion slightly changed.


    He couldn¡¯t understand the language of the Flying Serpent Clan and was unclear about what was happening at the bottom of the valley.


    But Li Yuan faintly sensed that the Flying Serpent King seemed to have suffered a heavy injury.


    Could it be that Senior Liu Jing had won?


    ...


    As Li Yuan was filled with amazement and doubts,


    ¡°Ao! Ang!!¡± A Second Rank Flying Serpent that had been leading a large group of Flying Serpents in a frenzied attack on Li Yuan.


    The moment it heard the roar, its eyes instantly turned blood-red.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The Second Rank Flying Serpent suddenly turned, no longer caring about attacking Li Yuan, and with a flap of its wings and its head pointing downward, it was about to dive toward the bottom of the valley.


    And it also felt that the hope of killing Li Yuan was becoming even more distant.


    At this moment, it was as if something at the bottom of the Flying Serpent Valley was more valuable than the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits on Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    However,


    Just as the Second Rank Flying Serpent decided to retreat not even 0.3 seconds ago and had just descended over twenty meters,


    Boom! A figure abruptly charged out from the slanting slope of a distant mountain side.


    Falling rapidly, like a meteor, it already landed fiercely on the body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    It was Li Yuan.


    In this split-second, Li Yuan immediately made a decision ¡ª to return to the bottom of the valley!


    ¡°Senior Liu is powerful, and in battle with the Flying Serpent King, he might have won!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s take a gamble,¡± a trace of madness flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    If he fled now, Li Yuan would have a great chance of saving his life, and he could also obtain three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    But Li Yuan hesitated in his heart.


    ¡°Let¡¯s fight!¡± The instant Li Yuan made his decision,


    He almost replicated Senior Liu Jing¡¯s action, only the target was now the Second Rank Flying Serpent, whose strength was far inferior to that of the Flying Serpent King.


    Boom!


    After slamming fiercely into the body of the Second Rank Flying Serpent,


    Li Yuan¡¯s long spear in his hand erupted instantly, thrusting straight at the waist of the Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    With this sudden explosive thrust, the strength was so great it pierced right through the Second Rank Flying Serpent¡¯s Origin Power defense.


    The spear tip struck the surface of the skin; in an instant, it tore open a huge wound.


    Blood splattered.


    ¡­


    At the bottom of the Flying Serpent Valley, a tragic battle was gradually nearing its end.


    ¡°Pu-chi~¡± ¡°Pu!¡±


    The previously majestic Flying Serpent King, now, had become exceedingly miserable.


    One of its gigantic wings was completely torn off by Liu Jing¡¯s combat saber, and its enormous body was covered in countless wounds inflicted by combat sabers.


    But it was still struggling to battle with Liu Jing, constantly swinging its claws, trying to force Liu Jing back.


    ¡°Die.¡±


    Liu Jing¡¯s eyes were blood-red, already utterly frenzied, his figure flickered like lightning, over and over he swung his combat saber getting closer, attacking the same wound on the body of the Flying Serpent King.


    Pu! Pu-chi! Pu! Flesh and blood flew in all directions.


    Having lost a wing, the impact on the Flying Serpent King was immense.


    The strength it could exert had suddenly dropped by a large margin.


    Most crucially, in terms of combat skills, Liu Jing was completely superior to it.


    Strength, speed? In Liu Jing¡¯s Burning Star state, going all out, the difference between them could almost be neglected.


    The key was that Liu Jing also had the Origin Power Battle Suit, which could completely withstand its many attacks.


    ¡°Die!¡± the Flying Serpent King roared, constantly bellowing out in its own racial language.


    Its formidable spiritual power allowed it to sense that Liu Jing¡¯s life force was rapidly fading.


    He was on his last legs.


    Just to hold on a bit longer, the Flying Serpent King believed it could live to the end.


    Having lost a wing?


    As long as it was alive, there was still hope.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Liu Jing suddenly surged forward, once again rushing towards the side where the wing had been torn, attempting to attack that largest wound.


    This wound was nearest to the heart of the Flying Serpent King.


    ¡°Roar!¡± The Flying Serpent King growled lowly, its long tail swung fiercely, its massive body retreated explosively, and another wing swept toward Liu Jing.


    Trying to block Liu Jing.


    In that instant,


    Boom! Liu Jing¡¯s figure moved in an instant, using an extremely tricky movement technique, he suddenly leaped towards another huge wound on the waist of the Flying Serpent King.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    Blood splattered, this time it was not the combat saber slicing through the wound, but Liu Jing himself crashing into this huge wound.


    ¡°What?¡± The Flying Serpent King was startled and enraged, it immediately set in motion a thought, its massive body rolling, powerful Vigor surging wildly within, wave after wave of Origin Power also rushing, trying to grind into pieces Liu Jing, who was rampaging inside its body.


    ¡°Looking for death!!¡±


    The Flying Serpent King gritted its teeth, Origin Power operating within its body, its might was even more terrifying.


    ¡°Starburst.¡±


    As Liu Jing entered the body of the Flying Serpent King, a trace of madness passed through his eyes.


    Whosh! Whosh!


    His arms turned into two balls of fire in an instant, burning wildly, their might erupting to the utmost.


    ¡°Heart.¡± Liu Jing charged forth.


    ¡°Ahh ahh ahh~¡± The Flying Serpent King let out a frenzied roar, its massive body rolling wildly.


    It only felt waves of heart-piercing pain erupting within its body.


    ¡­


    Rumble~ The massive body of the Flying Serpent King tumbled wildly, its dreadful tail smashed against the mountain walls as if an earthquake was occurring, causing countless rocks to roll down.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Flying Serpents, each and every one of them, were retreating in utter terror, looking on from a distance at this scene.


    Although the wisdom of most First Rank Flying Serpents was not high,


    At this moment, most of them understood that their king was suffering unparalleled agony.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Rumble~¡± within the rolling mist,


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    A massive Flying Serpent broke through the fog, rolling as it plummeted, colliding with the cliffside, its wings still struggling, before crashing down.


    Just as it was about to smash heavily into the ground.


    Whoosh!


    A black streak of light suddenly shot out from the body of the Flying Serpent, followed by the heavy thud of its body slamming into the muddy earth, shaking the ground violently, sending up a splash of water, grass, and dirt.


    Boom¡ªLi Yuan, holding a long spear, landed heavily on the ground.


    The Second Rank Flying Serpent behind him was still struggling, but it was futile¡­ A shocking, gaping hole was in its head.


    It was doomed.


    ¡°The King of the Flying Serpents,¡± Li Yuan stared intently at the King of the Flying Serpents several hundred meters away, rolling in agony.


    From the state of the creature and the wounds tearing open and bleeding at its waist.


    Li Yuan instantly deduced¡ªElder Liu Jing had penetrated the King of the Flying Serpents¡¯ body.


    This made Li Yuan gasp in shock.


    It was utterly insane.


    All of a sudden.


    ¡°Pop¡ª¡± A barely perceptible blast sounded, and the King of the Flying Serpents¡¯ eyes bulged out round in an instant.


    It felt its heart¡ªexplode!


    If it were a Flying Heaven Warrior, it might survive a shattered heart, but for First Rank and Second Rank warriors¡­ without extremely special treasures, a shattered heart meant certain death.


    ¡°Roar¡ª¡± The King of the Flying Serpents felt its life force rapidly draining away, rushing towards death. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was filled with unwillingness.


    As the ruler of the Flying Serpent Valley, it had been concealing itself in deep cultivation, hiding in the depths of the valley, and never showing itself for fear of being discovered by other clan¡¯s powerhouses.


    As a Flying Serpent from Ming Mountain, it also longed to become a ¡®Flying Heaven Warrior,¡¯ to return to Ming Mountain, to return home.


    But now, all that was destined to come to nothing.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.


    His powerful spiritual power could feel the life force of the King of the Flying Serpents rapidly fading.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    The King of the Flying Serpents, which had been rolling in pain and madness, abruptly stopped.


    Its head turned, and a pair of snake eyes stared dead at Li Yuan hundreds of meters away.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly startled and immediately sensed the terrifying intentions of the King of the Flying Serpents.


    Boom! Li Yuan immediately retreated hastily.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan retreated, but the King of the Flying Serpents charged even faster, its eyes locked on Li Yuan, letting out one last roar in its life, exerting the very last bit of its strength.


    It charged at Li Yuan like lightning.


    It was too fast, the huge difference in life levels allowed the King to catch up to Li Yuan only a hundred meters into his retreat.


    ¡°Pop¡ª¡±


    A terrifying force hit Li Yuan, flinging him backward in an instant.


    He flew out for over a hundred meters.


    Li Yuan finally tumbled and crashed onto the muddy grassland, several Blood-Activating Origin Spirit Elixirs broken and scattered from the impact.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan rolled over and half-knelt on the ground, unable to help spitting out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, feeling as if his entire body was about to explode.


    The impact of the collision was terrifying.


    Li Yuan believed that the King of the Flying Serpents was indeed at the end of its tether, but even so, the power of this furious blow was astonishing.


    Even though the Origin Power Battle Suit had absorbed most of the impact force, it still caused him a heavy injury with just the shock to his body.


    Hum¡ªAs the Origin Power circulated, Li Yuan felt much better.


    ¡°The King of the Flying Serpents,¡± Li Yuan looked over.


    He saw the King of the Flying Serpents that had unleashed the last strike of its life, its gaze completely dimmed, finally losing its life.


    Thus.


    Within the Flying Serpent Valley, all three of the Second Rank leaders of the Flying Serpent Clan were dead.


    ¡°Roar¡ª¡±


    ¡°Growl¡ª¡± On both sides of the ravine and even on the mountain walls, numerous Flying Serpents were still growling and roaring at Li Yuan.


    But fear was filling their eyes.


    The First Rank Flying Serpents had been fighting so fiercely without fear of death because their leaders were overseeing the battle.


    Now that the three mighty leaders were all dead, how could they possibly win?


    However.


    Without any Second Rank Life, Li Yuan didn¡¯t much care about these First Rank Flying Serpents.


    ¡°[TARGET LIFE HAS EXPIRED]¡± Li Yuan worried that the other might be feigning death, and finally used the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Confirmed without error.


    No more hesitation.


    Whoosh! Like a bolt of lightning, Li Yuan¡¯s figure dashed out, hurtling over a hundred meters.


    He raced toward the collision-stricken body of the King of the Flying Serpents by the mountainside, heading straight for the large wound.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were slightly red as he charged into the gaping hole filled with bloody flesh.


    ¡°Elder Liu.¡±


    ¡°You must survive! You must!¡± Li Yuan roared in his heart, filled with an obsessive determination.


    Li Yuan had risked his life to return to the bottom of the Flying Serpent Valley, all to rescue the other.


    Seconds later.


    Squish¡ªPop!


    An injured Li Yuan struggled to drag out a half-destroyed, blood-stained ¡®corpse¡¯ from the wound of the King of the Flying Serpents¡¯ body.


    Huff!


    He leaned the body against a relatively clean boulder.


    ¡°Elder Liu,¡± Li Yuan growled, wiping the filthy blood from the other¡¯s head.


    ¡°Cough¡ª¡±


    ¡°Cough, cough!!¡± Liu Jing, whose Origin Power was already drained and couldn¡¯t even sustain his Battle Garment, retained a sliver of consciousness: ¡°Li Yuan, why have you come back? I am dying.¡±


    ¡°Shut up, you¡¯re not dying.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were slightly red as he roared back.


    Huff!


    Suddenly, a purple Elixir appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s hand, emitting an odd fragrance. He pinched Liu Jing¡¯s chin and directly placed it into his mouth.

 Chapter 231 - 188: Escape to Survival

    Chapter 231: Chapter 188: Escape to Survival


    Li Yuan pulled out what Li Yang had given him as a life-saving treasure before, the ¡°Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill.¡±


    Below a Flying Heaven Warrior, anyone who took it would survive as long as their head did not suffer a fatal injury, and they would recover from all their wounds.


    ¡°This¡­ argh¡­¡± Liu Jing was extremely weak, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to speak.


    He guessed that Li Yuan had taken out something to save lives and wanted to stop him.


    However, his Origin Power was completely exhausted. He had just fought desperately to kill the king of the Flying Serpents, used a life-risking secret technique, and lost both arms and a leg. In addition, he was at very close range to the surging Origin Power impact of the Flying Serpent King.


    It could be said that it was only good luck that he hadn¡¯t died on the spot.


    ...


    He could only let Li Yuan do as he pleased.


    ¡°Gulp~¡± Liu Jing swallowed the Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill, and Li Yuan let go of his mouth, still looking at Liu Jing with some concern.


    Although Li Yang had boasted about it, Li Yuan still had a trace of doubt in his heart, given how severely injured Liu Jing was.


    But just a few seconds later.


    ¡°Hm?¡± A trace of surprise flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Ah~¡± Liu Jing¡¯s body suddenly shook violently, emitting a low roar, his face showing a hint of pain.


    It seemed he was enduring great pain.


    But his low roar made Li Yuan¡¯s eyes light up.


    His voice was much stronger than one would expect from a dying man¡ªthe Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill seemed to have pulled Liu Jing back from the brink of death.


    ¡°Sss~¡± Intense pain swept through Liu Jing¡¯s entire body.


    Even his strong willpower was nearly at its limit, and he couldn¡¯t help but let out low roars of pain.


    That terrible pain made the veins on Liu Jing¡¯s face bulge violently.


    It hurt too much.


    ¡°Good, very good! Truly great!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face, however, revealed a trace of joy.


    He had won the bet; Liu Jing was saved!


    In Li Yuan¡¯s perception, Liu Jing¡¯s life force was rapidly recovering, climbing from previously less than level 10 in Life Level, it was now continuously rising. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Level 13, 13.5, 14, 14.4¡­


    And even.


    Li Yuan watched as Liu Jing¡¯s limbs, which had been destroyed, were crazily regrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye¡ªflesh, bones, sinews¡­ everything extending.


    As his maimed limbs grew, the polluted blood that had been contained within Liu Jing¡¯s body was also being forced out by the medicine¡¯s effect.


    ¡°Growth this fast?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    He finally understood why Li Yang valued the ¡®Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill¡¯ so much, calling it ¡®priceless¡¯ and an object of pursuit among Prime Warriors.


    The effect was indeed exaggerated.


    Raising the dead was definitely not possible, but regrowing flesh over bone was in no way an exaggeration.


    ¡°Ahhhh~¡± Liu Jing¡¯s eyes bulged.


    His face had regained a healthy complexion, and he couldn¡¯t help but burst into a series of low roars.


    He indeed felt his life force crazily recovering.


    However, the pain of limbs regrowing in an extremely short time was truly unbearable for ordinary people.


    It was so painful that Liu Jing almost felt like dying.


    ¡°Sss~¡± His bones kept growing.


    As if they were grinding against his flesh.


    ¡°Ah!¡± After a sudden roar, Liu Jing could no longer bear it and completely passed out.


    Sss~ Only Liu Jing¡¯s body kept trembling.


    ¡°Passed out? It seems Senior Liu¡¯s willpower isn¡¯t as strong as I imagined. Is it that painful?¡± Li Yuan muttered, ¡°It¡¯s better that he¡¯s passed out.¡±


    Being unconscious, sometimes, was a form of self-protection.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan grabbed Liu Jing and slung him onto his back.


    ¡°Hum~¡± The black Battle Garment that originally covered only the skin¡¯s surface flowed like liquid, instantly securing Liu Jing¡¯s body onto Li Yuan with rope-like strands.


    Li Yuan gave a shake; it was very stable.


    ¡°Time to go.¡± Li Yuan surveyed his surroundings, which still remained dangerous.


    So much time had passed, and more and more Flying Serpents had been gathering from all directions.


    Although there was no Second Rank Flying Serpent leading them, and the continuous fierce battles had inflicted heavy casualties on them, most of the Flying Serpents were now full of timidity and fear.


    But don¡¯t forget.


    Many powerful Flying Serpents, especially those at level 19, still remembered that Li Yuan had taken away the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    In the eyes of these Flying Serpents, the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits represented their hope of breaking through to Second Rank.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°Alone and having to carry Senior Liu.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the huge corpse of the Flying Serpent King.


    Such a Second Rank Alien Race creature was valuable all over¡ªblood, flesh, skin, bones¡­ could all be sold for extremely high prices.


    If the entire corpse could be safely brought back to Xia Country, Li Yuan estimated that it could sell for at least two to three hundred million Blue Star Coins.


    Unfortunately, there was no way for Li Yuan alone to move such a colossal corpse from the deep valley.


    With that thought.


    Whoosh!


    With a slight exertion of his legs, Li Yuan, carrying Liu Jing, leaped onto the head of the Flying Serpent King¡¯s corpse.


    The short knife landed in his hand.


    ¡°Sss~¡± Li Yuan followed an existing wound on the giant¡¯s head and forcefully cut down.


    But he only left shallow blood marks.


    ¡°Damn! It¡¯s this hard?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes widened. Though he had anticipated the skin of a level 25 Flying Serpent King to be incredibly tough, he didn¡¯t expect it to be this strong.


    A force of a hundred thousand pounds had been unleashed.


    At that moment, Li Yuan realized how fortunate he was to have survived the Flying Serpent King¡¯s final blow.


    The gap between Level 19 and Level 25 is simply too vast.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power surged into the dagger, a faint yellow streamer swept across the blade, and he slashed down fiercely once again.


    ¡°Rip~¡± This time, he finally managed to make a cut. The blade, infused with Origin Power, forcefully carved around the sharp horn on the head of the Flying Serpent King and ultimately plunged deep into the flesh.


    Merely ten or so seconds.


    A sharp horn, approximately thirty centimeters high and with its flesh blurred, appeared in front of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Second Rank Flying Serpents can barely be considered as lesser dragons or lesser flood dragons,¡± Li Yuan mused silently. ¡°Their snake horns are a sign of evolution and are worth at least tens of millions of Blue Star Coins.¡±


    Extremely rare.


    It was also the most valuable part of the Flying Serpent King¡¯s body, second only to the pair of sharp claws of the Flying Serpent King.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan placed the huge horn at his waist, and the battle suit extended several black threads again, firmly wrapping it against his body.


    The Origin Power Battle Suit was active and could freely change its shape, forming packs, extending in length, and so on.


    But there was one thing.


    The farther it extended outward, the more its most important ¡®defense¡¯ capability would decline, so the user had to gauge it carefully.


    ¡°What a pity,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the pair of claws, each of which was taller than a person.


    Incredibly sharp!


    Just this pair of claws would be worth tens of millions of Blue Star Coins, but unfortunately, they were too big, and there was no way Li Yuan could take them with him.


    ¡°This is enough.¡±


    ¡°Being too greedy can choke you; it¡¯s best to stop while you¡¯re ahead,¡± a teaching of his uncle surfaced in Li Yuan¡¯s mind ¨C seek fortune amidst danger but also risk losing it all.


    If it was purely for wealth, there was no need to be overly frantic.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    After storing away the dagger, Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, gripping the long spear as he darted towards the distance with astonishing speed.


    Seeing Li Yuan truly attempting to escape,


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± The Flying Serpents above Level 19 could no longer restrain themselves and rushed over with fierce roars.


    They also tried to command other Flying Serpents to intercept Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Not only did many Flying Serpents on the ground lunge over, but from the cliff sides, several others also swooped down with outstretched wings from high above, aiming at Li Yuan as he ascended swiftly.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± Terrifying spear shadows swept across the vast sky, and the bodies of the Flying Serpents charging at Li Yuan were either torn apart or their heads were pierced. Their massive bodies fell towards the ground one after another.


    Not one was a match for him.


    Previously, even the 21.3 Level Flying Serpent leader, leading a substantial number of First Rank Flying Serpents in attack, was rapidly killed by Li Yuan in a desperate fight.


    Let alone these ordinary Flying Serpents of mere Level 16 or 17.


    In fact.


    During the initial inquiry, had it not been for the discovery of two Second Rank Flying Serpents, Li Yuan might have directly taken action.


    First Rank? Now there were hardly any that Li Yuan took seriously.


    Whoosh!


    Ascending along the cliff at high speed, the Flying Serpents daring to intercept became fewer and fewer. Soon after, Li Yuan had flipped over the cliff and swiftly disappeared into the vast forests.


    Inside Flying Serpent Valley, only a scene of devastation remained along with bodies, as the mournful wails of the Flying Serpents echoed continuously.


    ¡­


    With Liu Jing on his back, Li Yuan quickly escaped from the confines of Flying Serpent Valley, not daring to delay for even a moment.


    ¡°So much time has passed.¡±


    ¡°If the high-level members of the Tianliang Clan really make a move and send a Prime Warrior here, they could be very close to Flying Serpent Valley by now,¡± Li Yuan had firmly decided that it was best to quickly flee far away first.


    Li Yuan did not believe he could stand against the Tianliang Clan¡¯s army alone.


    Escaping was the right path.


    ¡­


    Guided by the map.


    In less than twenty minutes, Li Yuan had escaped more than 30 kilometers, and the signal from his smart ring had completely recovered.


    ¡°I should first report the situation to base, to prevent any misjudgments by other senior members,¡± Li Yuan instinctively looked back at Liu Jing, who was still unconscious.


    Liu Jing¡¯s limbs had fully regrown, and his breathing had become long and steady.


    His life force was growing stronger.


    ¡°My encounter with Senior Liu Jing¡­¡± Li Yuan organized his words and reported the rough situation at Flying Serpent Valley, mainly about how he and Liu Jing battled three Second Rank Flying Serpents and ultimately killed them all, as well as the process of Liu Jing¡¯s severe injury.


    He only concealed the matter of the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    If Flying Serpent Valley was suitable for establishing a war base, it should be up to the country to develop it.


    But as for the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits, from beginning to end, they were a spoil of war seized by him and Senior Liu Jing. Li Yuan did not intend to share them with anyone else.


    Li Yuan wanted to avoid unnecessary troubles and covetous eyes.


    After taking care of all this,


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, continuing his journey toward Outpost Base Number Three.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, the farther from Flying Serpent Valley, the safer it was.


    ¡­


    About two hours after the fierce battle between Li Yuan and Liu Jing in Flying Serpent Valley,


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three figures moved extremely fast, each surpassing eighty meters per second, easily dodged the Flying Serpents, and arrived above the canyon of Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°Xue Shu, is this the ¡®Flying Serpent Valley¡¯ you spoke of? Where is the Seven Stars human Prime Warrior you mentioned in your transmission?¡± a burly man with black skin asked in a deep voice, peering down at the foggy canyon.


    In the valley, the roars of the Flying Serpents could still be heard sporadically.

    Chapter 232: Chapter 189 Liu Jing Awakens, Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes)


    ¡°I just explored the surroundings, and there are quite a few Flying Serpent corpses, but I haven¡¯t discovered any traces of the Seven Stars humans so far,¡± another tall, thin man dressed in a battle suit said quietly.


    ¡°Delgado, Mo Li, do you really suspect that I am lying?¡± A trace of anger flit through the eyes of the demonically enchanting youth ¡®Xue Shu¡¯ in the blood-red robe.


    The burly man and Mo Li exchanged glances but said nothing.


    In terms of strength, as Second Rank warriors, they naturally had the upper hand over Xue Shu.


    But the other party was a core disciple of the Holy Land and held a higher sequence level within the Tianliang Clan than they did.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, how could there be none¡­¡± Xue Shu, the demonically enchanting youth in a blood-red robe, surveyed the canyon below and after scanning it twice, his expression suddenly changed, ¡°This is bad, we¡¯re too late.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Look over there,¡± Xue Shu pointed to a cliff about a kilometer away, ¡°There are many Flying Serpent corpses.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Flying Serpent corpses?¡± The burly man and the tall, thin young man immediately looked over.


    On that gentle slope of a cliff,


    lay numerous Flying Serpent corpses, and there were evident signs of an intense battle on the mountain wall.


    It¡¯s just that they were right above this particular part of the cliff.


    Plus, with the large number of Flying Serpent corpses, the blood, and the vines being similar in color, they hadn¡¯t noticed them at first glance.


    ¡°Not just one place, look there, there are also signs of battle,¡± Xue Shu said.


    ¡°And there as well.¡± With careful observation, the three Tianliang Clan experts discovered even more traces.


    It was enough to deduce


    that a brutal battle had erupted inside Flying Serpent Valley not long before.


    ¡°Such a fierce battle, it must have been Second Rank combatants. Are we too late?¡± Delgado, the burly man, frowned, ¡°Xue Shu, did you say there are Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits at the bottom of the valley?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a ninety percent chance,¡± Xue Shu nodded heavily, as he had his own method of judgment.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go,¡± Delgado said quietly, ¡°to find out the truth.¡±


    ¡°All of us?¡± Mo Li, the tall, thin young man, frowned, ¡°Could there be an ambush?¡±


    ¡°You can choose not to go, I don¡¯t mind. And if the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits are still there, don¡¯t be upset if I hide one or two for myself,¡± Delgado said indifferently.


    With that,


    whoosh! Delgado¡¯s figure moved, and he quickly sped towards the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley along the cliff.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Mo Li shrugged and immediately rushed downward.


    ¡°These two guys.¡± Xue Shu gritted his teeth. His strength was the weakest, and naturally, he was reluctant to delve into the peril-filled Flying Serpent Valley¡­ but he was also extremely eager for the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try.¡±


    ¡°If I really run into danger, Delgado and the others won¡¯t harm me,¡± Xue Shu thought to himself, ¡°Moreover, it seems that not all of the Flying Serpent tribe died, and there¡¯s no sign of the Seven Stars human warriors.¡±


    ¡°Most likely, the Seven Stars human martial artists have left,¡± Xue Shu still harbored some hope in his heart.


    Whoosh! Xue Shu also followed closely, continuously descending the cliff.


    Without any attempt to conceal their presence, the three great powerhouses of the Tianliang Clan charged violently along their way, easily slaughtering any Flying Serpents that dared to block their path.


    Finally, these Flying Serpents scattered one after another, mistaking these humans as being from ¡®the same group¡¯ since they looked quite similar.


    A few minutes later.


    The three great warriors of the Tianliang Clan fought their way to the bottom of the valley, and when they saw the large number of Flying Serpent corpses, especially those of the three Second Rank Flying Serpents, they all fell completely silent.


    ¡°All dead?¡±


    ¡°Three Second Rank Flying Serpents, all killed?¡±


    ¡°This Flying Serpent, judging from its size, was at least 24 years old, right? It has been killed too?¡± Delgado and Mo Li¡¯s expressions shifted slightly, a sense of crisis beginning to rise in their hearts.


    Both of them, one at Sequence Level 24, the other just at 23.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three Tianliang Clan warriors dispersed, inquiring in all directions.


    They soon regathered.


    ¡°There are traces of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, but no Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood was found, so it is unclear whether it was recently harvested or consumed by the Second Rank Flying Serpents earlier,¡± Mo Li said in a low voice, holding a palm-sized special instrument in his hand.


    ¡°The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is gone?¡± Xue Shu¡¯s face became extremely ugly.


    He had been planning for a long time for the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit.


    ¡°Also, I¡¯ve done a preliminary check, and there is likely an ¡®Origin Crystal vein¡¯ beneath this gorge,¡± continued Mo Li.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°An Origin Crystal vein?¡± Delgado and Xue Shu¡¯s expressions changed dramatically¡ª they were all too aware of the value of Origin Crystals. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Origin Crystals, high-energy Origin Power crystals, had a multitude of uses, especially as the driving core in various Origin Power Weapons researched by the technological civilization.


    The core of the Origin Crystal was often referred to as ¡®Marrow Crystal,¡¯ with an even more exorbitantly high value.


    ¡°Based on my preliminary calculations, it¡¯s just a small vein,¡± Mo Li continued. ¡°Of course, precise testing would require specialized instruments and personnel.¡±


    Delgado and Xue Shu¡¯s expressions relaxed slightly¡ªa small vein? That wasn¡¯t as exaggerated.


    ¡°No wonder there are so many Blood Nourishing Source Ganoderma thriving here; there¡¯s actually an Origin Crystal vein underground,¡± murmured Delgado, a gleam in his eyes: ¡°We must seize this place, and once we successfully establish a base and begin excavating¡­ even if it¡¯s just a small Origin Crystal vein, we, as discoverers and initial developers, can easily share tens of billions, or even more, of ¡®Tianliang Currency¡¯.¡±


    Mo Li and Xue Shu couldn¡¯t help nodding, a trace of longing in their eyes.


    Tens of billions of Tianliang Currency? That was a huge fortune for any Second Rank stronghold.


    ¡°The biggest trouble is the Seven Stars Human Civilization,¡± said Mo Li softly. ¡°Someone capable of taking down three Second Rank Flying Serpents and leaving safely without using any kind of thermal weapons¡­ The strength of the Seven Stars human warriors must be very formidable, I think certainly stronger than us.¡±


    ¡°Now, I¡¯m also not sure if they¡¯ve discovered the ¡®Origin Crystal vein¡¯.¡±


    ¡°My suggestion is to retreat first,¡± Mo Li said. ¡°Report back to the base and call in more resources and warriors from our civilization, then decisively secure this place.¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Delgado firmly rejected, shaking his head. ¡°We can¡¯t gamble that the Seven Stars Human Civilization are fools. If we give them time to establish a defensive system¡­ our chances of mounting a counterattack later would be ten times harder, with casualties beyond prediction.¡±


    ¡°You should know, Flying Serpent Valley is closer to their forward base than to ours.¡±


    ¡°So what do we do?¡± asked Mo Li.


    ¡°We stay here, on covert alert,¡± Delgado solemnly said. ¡°Indeed, the warriors of the Seven Stars Human Civilization are strong, but they should only have a limited advantage in strength over us¡­ Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have retreated immediately after killing all the Second Rank Flying Serpents. I even suspect that their main forces have suffered heavy losses, or even that a Prime Warrior has died, and the bodies were simply taken away.¡±


    Mo Li and Xue Shu could not help nodding¡ªDelgado¡¯s analysis made sense.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s stay on covert alert.¡±


    ¡°Xue Shu, you and I will team up, and Delgado will operate solo; we will each monitor a section of the mountain range,¡± said Mo Li.


    ¡°Then, order your people to come as quickly as possible.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, I will write the report as soon as possible, notify the base, and request the higher-ups of civilization to increase support,¡± Mo Li said. ¡°Our mission is¡­ once the strong of the Seven Star Human Civilization return, we must hold them off.¡±


    Delgado and Xue Shu both nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s head up first.¡±


    ¡­


    Seven Star Human Civilization, Outpost Base Number Three, inside that huge conference room.


    ¡°Killed three Second Rank Flying Serpents?¡±


    ¡°One of them a Level 25 Flying Serpent?¡±


    ¡°Liu Jing severely injured and unconscious?¡± The woman in purple and Han Chong were both shocked staring at the intelligence transmitted by Li Yuan.


    Far beyond their expectations.


    ¡°An Alien Race of Level 25 emerged within our territory and we had no clue whatsoever before,¡± Han Chong said with a hint of anger in his voice. ¡°What were the inquiry teams doing?¡±


    The outpost base needed to inquire about the surrounding area of 1000 kilometers all year round.


    ¡°If the Second Rank Alien Race had their minds set on hiding, how could those First Rank Martial Artists uncover them?¡± The woman in purple shook her head, ¡°This time, if it weren¡¯t for Xu An and Liu Jing venturing deep into Flying Serpent Valley, we might have never driven out this strong Flying Serpent.¡±


    ¡°What do we do now?¡± Han Chong frowned.


    ¡°Let¡¯s stick to the original plan, the forward units that have already departed should continue moving,¡± the woman in purple whispered. ¡°I¡¯ve already locked onto Xu An¡¯s location, and I will now lead the forward troops with medicine to find Xu An immediately.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going?¡± Han Chong was surprised. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean the base will be left with only me as a Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°The key issue is that Liu Jing is already seriously injured, what do we fight with?¡± Han Chong frowned.


    He was already thinking about giving up on Flying Serpent Valley, abandoning the plan.


    ¡°It¡¯s not about what we want to fight for, but what we must,¡± the woman in purple¡¯s eyes flashed a cold light. ¡°Compared to Liu Jing, I¡¯m more worried about Flying Serpent Valley right now.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Flying Serpent Valley?¡± Han Chong was startled.


    ¡°If it can cultivate the Blood-Nourishing Source Spiritual Fungi in large quantities and even give birth to so many Second Rank Flying Serpents in such a short time¡­ I don¡¯t believe there¡¯s no secret in Flying Serpent Valley,¡± the woman in purple said gravely. ¡°If the Tianliang Clan occupies this place, sets up a base, and they are only 900 kilometers away from our outpost base, do you think we can still coexist peacefully?¡±


    ¡°War is inevitable sooner or later, might as well fight now.¡±


    ¡°At the very least, we can¡¯t let them establish a stable defense system,¡± the woman in purple said.


    ¡°What about me? What do I do?¡± Han Chong couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Contact our superiors, request support,¡± the woman in purple said earnestly. ¡°If necessary, ask Outpost Base Number Four to support us.¡±


    ¡°Outpost Base Number Four?¡± Han Chong was surprised.


    Xia Country, within the Mingxu Star Realm, has both Outpost Base Number Three and Number Four, but due to their vast distance, there is not much communication between the two bases under normal circumstances.


    Before long.


    The woman in purple took a group of martial artists and flew in the direction of Li Yuan¡¯s smart wristband location on a flying vehicle.


    ¡­


    In just over an hour, Li Yuan carrying Liu Jing had already fled for hundreds of kilometers.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan moved agilely, jumping over a river and rushing through the savage forest at high speed.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, put me down,¡± a vigorous voice came from behind Li Yuan.


    It was as if he had just woken up.


    ¡°Senior Liu?¡± Li Yuan felt a surge of joy in his heart, his mind stirred.


    Hissss~ Hissss~ The Origin Power Battle Garment retracted, and Liu Jing, who was originally lying on Li Yuan¡¯s back, immediately fell down, standing firmly on the grassland.


    ¡°Senior, are you alright?¡± Li Yuan turned around, his eyes lit up, noticing that Liu Jing¡¯s aura had fully recovered.


    Aside from his tattered clothing, the previously severely damaged arms, legs, and so on were all in perfect condition, showing no signs of the past injuries.


    He even seemed better than before the great battle.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level at 25.6 Rank]¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Rank 25.6? How had he become so much stronger than before the injury?


    ¡°Not only am I better,¡±


    ¡°Your Spirit Medicine not only treated me, it even healed some of the chronic injuries I had for years, restoring my strength to its peak,¡± Liu Jing said with a hint of a smile.


    ¡°Restored to the peak?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank, and he instantly remembered the first time he saw Liu Jing.


    The accompanying military officer had said that Liu Jing had declined in strength due to injuries.


    ¡°That¡¯s great,¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    It was worth the price.


    ¡°I¡¯m just sorry to you,¡± Liu Jing sighed. ¡°Such a miraculous elixir is surely an invaluable treasure, probably a ¡®life-saving trump card¡¯ your teacher prepared for you, and I guess you only have this one piece.¡±


    Although Liu Jing always stationed in the Star Realm, with relatively limited information,


    his insights were not shallow. He could imagine the value of the medicine¡ªten billion? Fifty billion?


    Perhaps even a hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Senior, you covered my retreat, and that was why you fought desperately against the Flying Serpent King. Otherwise, you could have escaped with your strength,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    The Origin Purple Longevity Pill was precious, but treasures only have value when used.


    Li Yuan did not regret it.


    ¡°As planned, you were responsible for seizing the treasure, and I was responsible for the aftermath. You admirably completed the task you were responsible for. It¡¯s my lack of foresight that led to this outcome,¡± Liu Jing shook his head. ¡°Since I caused the mistake, I naturally had to make a full effort to rectify it, covering the retreat was the right thing to do.¡±


    ¡°How about this.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t make up for such a rare and precious elixir,¡± Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan. ¡°You take all three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.¡±


    ¡°In addition, when we return, I will transfer twenty billion Blue Star Coins to you. After all, I am just an intermediate-level Prime Warrior. Even though I earn more than the average Prime Warrior by stationing in the Star Realm, it is still limited¡­ don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little,¡± Liu Jing said.


    ¡°That won¡¯t do,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°Then wouldn¡¯t Senior have labored for nothing?¡±


    ¡°Not for nothing, on the contrary, there have been great gains,¡± Liu Jing¡¯s eyes were bright, his smile conveying his mood. ¡°This battle in Flying Serpent Valley, through life-and-death struggle, my technique broke through, reaching subtlety.¡±


    ¡°For me, that is worth more than a hundred billion Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan said.

 Chapter 235 - 192: Spiritual Nature Cap at 40%! The Strength of a Flying Heaven Level Soul (Extra 7)

    Chapter 235: Chapter 192: Spiritual Nature Cap at 40%! The Strength of a Flying Heaven Level Soul (Extra 7)


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has reached level 30, and the limit of spiritual awakening has increased to 40%]¡± Two Divine Palace prompts flashed in succession.


    Spiritual power level 30! The limit of spiritual awakening increased to 40%!


    Flying Heaven Level!


    ¡°Spiritual power, has it entered the Flying Heaven Level?¡± Li Yuan sensed something and immediately understood that his soul had completely transformed, reaching a whole new level.


    From spiritual power level 21 to 29.9, although differing by tens of times, it was all just an accumulation of ¡®quantity¡¯.


    But from level 29.9 to 30, it was a qualitative transformation.


    ...


    It was the difference between heaven and earth.


    ¡°At last, one aspect of mine has reached the Flying Heaven Level.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Moreover, with the limit of spiritual awakening reaching 40%, once I reach the limit, I can draw Origin Power into my body again.¡±


    ¡°I estimate that once Origin Power enters my body again, I will become a Prime Warrior.¡±


    Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind in an instant.


    And then he could not think any more.


    There was no time to feel the change brought by reaching the Flying Heaven Level in spiritual power.


    All of Li Yuan¡¯s attention was still focused on his inner world, still fully suppressing the outburst of the proud sun.


    Continuously receiving the nourishment from the countless stars in the visualization space.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power transformed; its total amount hadn¡¯t changed, but its quality had increased by many tens of times.


    Suppressing the proud sun with full strength.


    ¡­


    Inside the cave, Liu Jing was leisurely cultivating.


    Suddenly.


    Boom!


    Like a tidal wave, an invisible fluctuation burst out with Li Yuan at the center, sending a terrifying pressure sweeping in all directions.


    The surrounding mud and dust didn¡¯t change at all; if recorded with a camera, no difference would be found.


    But Liu Jing felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his head reeling slightly.


    This pressure was not a one-time thing; just two seconds later, another terrifying pressure struck.


    ¡°Hmph~¡± Liu Jing became increasingly uncomfortable, letting out a stifled grunt before feeling somewhat relieved.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Liu Jing was shocked.


    He could be considered an expert among Prime Warriors, and his spiritual power was comparable to that of top-grade Prime Warriors. He understood the situation in an instant.


    It was spiritual pressure.


    Coming from Li Yuan!


    It must be that Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had suddenly gone out of control, releasing terrifying spiritual pressure.


    ¡°My spiritual power could absolutely compare with top-grade Prime Warriors,¡± Liu Jing stared at Li Yuan in shock, ¡°Even those top-grade Prime Warriors who have cultivated spiritual secret techniques, trying to unsettle my spirit would be difficult.¡±


    ¡°Let alone causing me to lose focus in an instant, although it was just for a moment, it¡¯s still inconceivable.¡±


    ¡°How did Li Yuan manage it?¡±


    To make a powerful warrior lose focus is extremely difficult.


    The consequences are also very serious.


    You must know, when powerful warriors fight to the death, life and death hang in the balance, and if one party suddenly suffers spiritual oppression and loses focus, even if they can recover in the next second,


    That one second difference is the line between life and death.


    Boom~ The spiritual pressure originating from Li Yuan swept over once again, massively and overwhelmingly.


    It made Liu Jing even more uncomfortable, but after adapting a bit, he wouldn¡¯t lose focus again.


    However, having figured out the reason, Liu Jing no longer hesitated.


    Whoosh! Liu Jing stood up, quickly left the cave, and rapidly scaled the mountain face.


    Only after moving tens of meters away from the cave did Liu Jing feel the spiritual pressure no longer affecting him.


    ¡°So strong spiritual power, huh?¡± Liu Jing stood on a protruding stone on the mountain wall, looking back at the cave, filled with indescribable shock.


    All of a sudden.


    A thought emerged in his mind: ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power has reached¡­ the Flying Heaven Level?¡±


    He found it hard to believe.


    A young warrior whose physical quality was still somewhat short of Second Rank, with spiritual power reaching the Flying Heaven Level?


    But then he remembered the other party was Li Yuan.


    ¡°I understand now.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not the power of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, even two of them couldn¡¯t boost a First Rank warrior¡¯s spiritual power directly to the Flying Heaven Level.¡± Liu Jing¡¯s mind was filled with many thoughts, ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan himself.¡±


    ¡°Before this, his spiritual power was probably already comparable to top-grade Prime Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps even at the Second Order Limit.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why with just one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, he could break free from his shackles.¡± Liu Jing believed he had analyzed the truth, but was even more shocked, ¡°No wonder his mastery of techniques is so remarkable.¡±


    ¡°He was monstrous before, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man at such a young age.¡±


    ¡°Now, with his spiritual power transformed again, his progress in technique fears will probably be even more terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Fifth Stage Unity of Heaven and Man.¡±


    ¡°Sixth Stage¡­ the legendary True Intent of Heaven and Earth¡­¡± Liu Jing pondered silently, ¡°Could it be that Xia Country is about to give birth to a supreme genius even more monstrous than Yu Jinghe?¡±


    At this moment.


    All that Liu Jing could think of were Yu Jinghe and the two strongest geniuses in Xia Country¡¯s history¡ªDongfang Ji and Fang Hai!


    ¡­


    Boom!


    The burst of Li Yuan¡¯s spirit kept impacting the surroundings relentlessly; if it were ordinary people under such continuous assaults, they would probably faint instantly or even die.


    And that was without Li Yuan having cultivated any spiritual secret techniques.


    The spiritual secret techniques cultivated by Prime Warriors were all child¡¯s play, mostly serving supplementary roles.


    But Flying Heaven Warriors with powerful spiritual power who cultivated spiritual secret techniques wielded truly lethal power, with some extreme techniques even capable of directly destroying Prime Warriors¡¯ inner worlds.


    This is the terror of the Flying Heaven Level.


    Whether it be physical or spiritual, in terms of technique, or even willpower¡­ as long as any one aspect breaks through to the Flying Heaven Level.


    It will be a qualitative change.


    When facing cultivators below the Flying Heaven Level, it is very easy to overwhelm them. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    For example, with willpower, Li Yuan, who early on reached level 30, could easily endure all kinds of pain and suffering¡­ maintaining absolute composure in any battle situation.


    Time passed.


    Only after more than ten minutes did the spiritual pressure emanating from Li Yuan completely dissipate.


    ¡°Gone?¡± Liu Jing thought to himself, feeling both surprised and uncertain, yet he didn¡¯t dare to enter the cave again and instead waited outside.


    If before, he subconsciously regarded Li Yuan as a junior.


    Then, from this moment on, he truly considered Li Yuan a peer, a strong warrior of the same level.


    He even believed that Li Yuan¡¯s strength would soon surpass his own.


    ¡­ Inside the cave.


    Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes; his pupils were deep. Although they seemed unchanged from the past, there was a fundamental difference internally.


    ¡°Perception.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power extended outward, easily sensing everything.


    Within a radius of dozens of meters, every inch of land, dust and dirt, grass and rocks, small flying insects¡­ all were within his perception.


    And this was fundamentally different from the ¡®perception¡¯ he had in the past.


    ¡°This, should be what¡¯s described as ¡®Divine Sense¡¯ in the Martial Hall¡¯s data archives,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    Spiritual power, when reaching its extreme, can subtly influence reality, or so the legend says.


    Spiritual power at the Flying Heaven Level cannot do that yet, but it can already sense reality at a preliminary level.


    One could say.


    That even if a Flying Heaven Martial Artist were blind, at a close distance, his spiritual induction would be sharper than ¡®eyes¡¯, able to penetrate all material obstructions.


    Divine Sense induction is like overseeing everything from a higher dimension.


    And this is just one of the abilities of Flying Heaven Level spiritual power.


    ¡°The operation of heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°The mystery of nature.¡± Li Yuan felt it, and if in the past, his mind¡¯s induction of the mysteries of heaven and earth was very vague.


    He needed to practice his Spear Technique or engage in prolonged meditation to barely merge his mind with the world, reaching the ¡®Unity of Heaven and Man¡¯ level.


    But now.


    The moment Li Yuan¡¯s thought moved, his strong spiritual awareness seemed to separate from the body as if to become independent, instantly merging with the surrounding heaven and earth.


    In an instant, he could achieve Unity of Heaven and Man.


    ¡°Anyone whose spiritual power reaches the Flying Heaven Level and is given enough time will inevitably reach the ¡®Unity of Heaven and Man¡¯ level in their techniques,¡± Li Yuan understood this point clearly.


    Because the foundation is too high.


    ¡°And like me, who has achieved Unity of Heaven and Man so early.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, his mind feeling the heaven and earth, gradually, he sensed the essence of nature moving there.


    Not the traces of natural mysteries as before, but the most fundamental mysteries and power sources that are hidden underneath the operation of nature.


    ¡°The laws of the operation of heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°The essence of Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°Metal Source Power, Fire Source Power, Earth Source Power, Wood Source Power¡­¡± Li Yuan sensed vaguely; these Source Powers were the ones he was most familiar with.


    There were also some mysterious Source Powers that were free in the heavens and the earth, which were unfamiliar to him.


    Li Yuan vaguely understood in his heart that these Source Powers that he could only vaguely sense, as well as the mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth¡­ were the power of ¡®laws¡¯.


    The legendary Sixth Stage techniques.


    ¡°This kind of power, I can only sense for now. If I could control it, it would mean truly mastering a strand of the essential power between heaven and earth. Once mobilized, its might would be unimaginably great,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Thinking of this, Li Yuan recalled the battle video he had seen that erupted in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Yu Jinghe!!


    ¡°As a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist who can fly by controlling the empty space, he must have mastered a kind of true intent power of heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan now understood the other¡¯s strength.


    As an Origin Martial Artist, yet reaching the Sixth Stage of techniques.


    No wonder he dared to say he could be comparable to a Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    After all, according to the communication between Li Yuan, Li Yang, and Dean Xu, some Flying Heaven Martial Artists¡¯ Skill Realms are only at Fifth Stage Perfection.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°I can achieve Unity of Heaven and Man at any moment, and following this, the speed of my improvement in Spear Technique and movement technique will far surpass the past.¡±


    ¡°The speed of my physical improvement will also far surpass the past.¡± A glint shone in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    It was foreseeable that his growth rate would soar greatly once again.


    With that in mind, Li Yuan moved his thoughts to open the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.2 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 54,400 kilograms


    Speed: 103.8 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 30.2


    Willpower: Level 31


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 30% (Current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: Level 10


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 10%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 11%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ¡­


    ¡°My spiritual power breakthrough even caused my Life Level to break through by 0.1.¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile, ¡°Even Spear Technique and Movement Technique improved by 3% in a short time.¡±


    You must know.


    Though the life-and-death battle in Flying Serpent Valley greatly impacted Li Yuan, he still had no time to properly summarize and comprehend it.


    But the breakthrough in spiritual power, the induction of the mysteries of the operation of nature, had already caused his technique to improve a lot without him realizing it.


    This is the benefit of improving the foundation.


    ¡°The limit of Spiritual Awakening also reached 40%.¡± Li Yuan caught a glimpse, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that within the Mingxu Star Realm, I dare not continue to improve.¡±

 Chapter 236 - 193: Law Creation Again

    Chapter 236: Chapter 193: Law Creation Again


    The Mingxu Star Realm is a First Level Star Realm, and once one¡¯s life level reaches level 20, they can no longer pass through the Star Realm¡¯s entrance and exit.


    Based on Li Yuan¡¯s third time experiencing Origin Power entering his body,


    ¡°Once I raise my Spiritual Awakening Level to 40% and initiate the fourth instance of Origin Power entering my body, I fear my life level will reach 21 or even higher,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Then, I can only spend my whole life in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    Other First Rank Martial Artists, once they reach 19.9, may be due to their techniques or insufficient spiritual power, find it difficult to break through to level 20.


    But Li Yuan? His spiritual power and techniques were more than sufficient a long time ago, and once his life level reaches the First Order Limit, he would rapidly break through.


    Spend a whole lifetime in the Mingxu Star Realm? That was not what Li Yuan wished for.


    ...


    This was also why Li Yuan greatly admired Liu Jing, for one must have great determination and willpower to willingly stay in such a wilderness.


    Moreover,


    Li Yuan subconsciously believed that he had greater achievements to accomplish in the future and could play a more significant role for the Seven Star Alliance.


    ¡°In the future, if the entrance to the Mingxu Star Realm expands and it becomes a Second Level Star Realm, perhaps it could allow Senior Brother Liu Jing and the others to return home,¡± a thought suddenly passed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The level of a Star Realm is not static; expansion from a First Level Star Realm to a Second Level Star Realm is quite common.


    Just like the Rob Sea Star Realm within the Xia Country territory, which has been in constant warfare.


    Li Yuan knew that the entrance area of the Rob Sea Star Realm was becoming increasingly unstable, showing a tendency to become the second Third Level Star Realm on Blue Star. And this was why Xia Country had been stationing a heavy military presence there year-round.


    ¡°Although I don¡¯t dare to increase it to 40%, in the coming period, I should seek opportunities to kill more members of the Alien Race and strive to raise my Spiritual Awakening Level to around 37%,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Not increasing it to 39% was because he needed to leave some leeway.


    To avoid any unexpected accidents.


    ¡°Moreover,¡±


    ¡°With a thought, my mind can merge with heaven and earth, drawing in the forces of the world to nourish my body, which will greatly increase the efficiency of my cultivation of the ¡®All Heavens¡¯ Stars,¡¯. Even without Origin Power entering my body, a single month at the shortest or two at the longest, would be enough to raise my Physical Quality to 19.9,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shimmered brightly.


    It sounded as though the speed of improvement was similar to before.


    But one must know that the standard difference in Fist Strength from 15.0 to 16.0 is 6,000 kilograms.


    From 19.0 to 19.9, however, the standard difference in Fist Strength is 20,000 kilograms.


    As one advances in their Life Level, the difference increasingly becomes exponential.


    ¡­¡±For a genius like Senior Brother Jin, with the best external conditions for cultivation, it still took until his junior year to become a Prime Warrior. This is the reason why,¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, ¡°For others, cultivation is like climbing uphill, the further you go, the slower you get.¡±


    ¡°But for me, it¡¯s like descending downhill, getting faster and faster.¡±


    Hum~ With a single thought,


    Li Yuan¡¯s immensely powerful spiritual power sensed his entire body, placing itself in a vast and boundless space, where within the endless starry sky, there were a few points of light.


    That was¡ªLife Star space.


    ¡°With Spiritual Guidance, I awakened the first Perfect Star Vein,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spirit spread out, his heart completely calm, sensing the vast and infinite Life Star space, ¡°But to become a Flying Heaven level, at least three Star Meridians must be awakened.¡±


    ¡°With spiritual power at level 30, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening Level can increase to 40%. To raise that limit to 50%, how high must my spiritual power be?¡±


    ¡°The second Spiritual Guidance is far off, and at least for the short term, it¡¯s not achievable.¡± Li Yuan was clear about this point.


    ¡°I must create my own law.¡±


    Hum~


    Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power turned into countless thoughts, passing through one spiritual imprint after another, quickly sensing an already perfectly awakened Star Meridian.


    Following that,


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual thoughts ventured through the vast and dark Life Star space, continuing to search for the stars hidden in darkness¡­ not a search without pattern or method.


    Li Yuan had read over the seven High Rank Cultivation Methods and also referenced a great deal of pioneering methods from his predecessors.


    There are many tricks to finding common Life Stars, and there are subtle connections between many Life Stars.


    ¡°Awakening the first Star Meridian is the hardest,¡±


    ¡°Many predecessors who created laws in the history of our Seven Stars human civilization fell at the first step,¡± Li Yuan silently reflected, ¡°But once one Star Meridian is awakened, the difficulty drastically decreases.¡±


    The previous Spiritual Guidance indeed greatly helped Li Yuan.


    Hum~ Hum~


    HIs spiritual thoughts enveloped the vast starry sky, ignoring spatial distances, gradually sensing the existence of each dark star.


    ¡°This one is a Life Star.¡±


    ¡°This one should be.¡±


    ¡°This one is a dead star.¡±


    ¡°This one could be,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual thoughts wildly dispersed.


    With the experience of his predecessors, the guidance of the first Perfect Star Vein, and help that surpassed the past by tens of times, Li Yuan easily noticed the presence of Life Stars within the Life Star space.


    Much easier than normal Law Creators by more than a hundred times.


    As time elapsed, Li Yuan kept imprinting spiritual marks on one Life Star after another.


    This was the consequence of a strong foundation.


    Advanced techniques, strong spiritual power, and perception in the Life Star space hundreds to thousands of times stronger¡­ the probability of successfully creating laws was almost a sure thing.


    Of course,


    Not all Life Stars are ¡®active¡¯, many seeming nearly indistinguishable from the dead stars on the surface¡­ Li Yuan cautiously chose to give up on those.


    But suddenly,


    ¡°Hmph~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spirit violently shook, followed by the sensation of one strand of his spiritual thoughts being destroyed.


    This in turn caused his body to tremble faintly.


    A sensing mistake.


    ¡°That star was actually a Dead Star?¡± Li Yuan felt helplessly more cautious.


    Occasionally sensing wrong was not a major loss for someone with Li Yuan¡¯s immense spiritual power.


    After a short rest, he could recover.


    But continuous mistakes? That would mean a halt to the process.


    ¡°If there was Spiritual Guidance, my clarity and range of perception would be even stronger by more than a thousand times,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Countless unawakened Life Stars would be within my perception, without a single error.¡±


    The stronger he became, the more Li Yuan felt the immense power and terror of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Such abilities were simply unfathomable.


    ¡­


    A full hour later.


    ¡°This time, I actually lit up over 7000 life stars directly,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile, ¡°Before, after cultivating many times, I only awakened a little over a thousand life stars.¡±


    Spiritual power reaching the Flying Heaven level indeed represents a fundamental change.


    Now, the vast and boundless space of life stars seemed brighter than not long ago, with more stars radiating light amidst the dark starry sky.


    However, these newly awakened life stars were mostly chaotic and had not yet formed new star meridians.


    ¡°To awaken so many, yet also fail six times.¡±


    ¡°My spirit is slightly damaged, and I can¡¯t continue to awaken life stars for now,¡± Li Yuan had already stopped, ¡°At this rate, given a bit more time, there¡¯s hope to awaken the second star meridian.¡±


    On one star meridian, awakening more than 12,960 life stars can begin to form the outline of a star meridian.


    In some sense, this was Li Yuan¡¯s first step in creating laws by himself.


    Mind Spirit Divine Palace? One can rely on it, but must never become dependent on it.


    ¡°I must, with all my might, make myself stronger, actively become stronger,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Then, at some critical moments, I¡¯ll be able to withstand some of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡¯s potential tests, and thereby receive even more benefits.¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for Li Yuan¡¯s willpower having transformed to level 30 before, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t have withstood the abnormal outburst of the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    ¡°The Great Sun Jade Platform.¡±


    ¡°The Mind Spirit Divine Palace still hides many secrets,¡± Li Yuan thought, and his spiritual consciousness left the space of the life stars.


    ¡­


    Inside the cave.


    Li Yuan opened his eyes and didn¡¯t notice Liu Jing¡¯s trace: ¡°It seems that the earlier spiritual oppression has alarmed Senior Liu¡­ He¡¯s nearby.¡±


    Projecting his divine sense, although it could only sense within a thirty meters radius, he could vaguely perceive up to several hundred meters away.


    There was someone with a life force quite strong and a soul breath quite familiar.


    It was Liu Jing.


    ¡°Under the guidance of divine sense, in front of a Flying Heaven Warrior, an ordinary person trying to disguise themselves as someone else is difficult,¡± Li Yuan silently marveled.


    Reaching the Flying Heaven level, one does not simply look at a person¡¯s outer appearance and physique anymore.


    One will sense the soul¡¯s breath as well.


    Physique and appearance are easy to disguise, change of clothes, a haircut, pretending to be disabled¡­ all can create great changes.


    But how does one disguise a person¡¯s soul¡¯s breath? At least for First Rank and Second Rank lives, it¡¯s quite difficult.


    Furthermore, regarding the exposure of ¡®Flying Heaven level spiritual power¡¯ in front of Liu Jing, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too worried deep down.


    It would have been exposed sooner or later, besides, the other party was trustworthy.


    ¡°Senior Liu has not summoned me, which means the support team from the outpost base has not yet arrived,¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes, ¡°There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll try practicing the spiritual secret technique ¡®Soul Shock¡¯ first.¡±


    During his time at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan learned two major spiritual secret techniques, ¡®Soul Shock¡¯ and ¡®Spirit Concentration Technique¡¯.¡±


    Both were Second Level spiritual secret techniques; the former was for carrying out spiritual attacks, and the latter was for concentrating the spirit to make it more resilient.


    However, the effects were minimal. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Previously my spiritual power was only at level 20 or so, even if I cultivated ¡®Soul Shock¡¯ to perfection, the effects were not significant and it also took a lot of time, so I didn¡¯t delve too deep into practicing it,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now with Flying Heaven level spiritual power, I¡¯ll give it another try.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see what level I can cultivate it to in a short period of time.¡±


    ¡°The first step, thoughts like a river, continuous and unending,¡± Li Yuan followed the guidance of the ¡®Soul Shock¡¯ technique, letting his spiritual thoughts gradually change.


    Very easy.


    Just a few seconds later.


    ¡°Is that it?¡± Li Yuan was stunned, then chuckled, ¡°Makes sense, the spiritual power of a Prime Warrior is not sufficient in quality, it¡¯s very hard to be nimble like silk, difficult to control.¡±


    ¡°But with Flying Heaven level spiritual power, it can easily be split, like multitasking with one mind on three tasks or even ten tasks¡­ all with ease.¡±


    Practicing Second Level spiritual secret technique with Third Rank spiritual power?


    It¡¯s like an impressive middle school student doing a primary schooler¡¯s math problems, even if temporarily stumped, but with a little learning of the problem-solving methods, they rapidly break through.


    This is the difference in foundation.


    ¡°The second step¡­¡± Li Yuan continued to practice.


    ¡­


    As time passed, about three hours after Li Yuan practiced the ¡®Soul Shock¡¯ secret technique.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.


    The next second.


    Whoosh! A figure clad in blue darted into the cave.


    ¡°Senior Liu,¡± Li Yuan greeted with a smile.


    ¡°Do you still need to continue cultivating? Another Prime Warrior from the base is about to arrive,¡± Liu Jing asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s not necessary,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°If senior has any plans, you can implement them, I¡¯m ready to join the battle at any time.¡±


    Continue to cultivate?


    In the past two hours, Li Yuan had directly brought the ¡®Soul Shock¡¯ spiritual secret technique to the Perfection Level.


    He had also practiced the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯ for another hour, completely eliminating any fatigue.


    One could say that Li Yuan¡¯s overall strength had reached a new peak.


    In the short term, there could be no further improvement.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Liu Jing nodded slightly, and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Li Yuan, has your spiritual power really reached Flying Heaven level?¡±


    He was indeed curious.


    ¡°Senior should have felt it before,¡± Li Yuan responded with a smile.


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Liu Jing was still shocked internally, and then said, ¡°But I suggest you return to Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to participate in the upcoming war with the Tianliang Clan.¡±

    Chapter 237: Chapter 194: Holy Land Disciple? Martial Path Prodigy? Too Weak! (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    ¡°Why?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    He had just cultivated the Spiritual Secret Technique ¡°Soul Shock¡± to perfection, and was ready to unleash its power, enhancing his Spiritual Awakening Level significantly.


    Originally, he had planned to help Outpost Base Number Three win this battle.


    ¡°Currently, we don¡¯t understand the Tianliang Clan¡¯s situation. We don¡¯t know if they¡¯re coming or how many will come,¡± Liu Jing said gravely, ¡°but if they come, there will definitely be Second Rank fighters, even senior Second Rank fighters among them.¡±


    Senior Second Rank? Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    ¡°Of course, the likelihood of encountering senior Second Rank is relatively low,¡± Liu Jing continued. ¡°While the Tianliang Clan in the Mingxu Star Realm is stronger than us at Outpost Base Number Three, there¡¯s no fundamental difference¡­ The truly formidable fighters from the Tianliang Clan wouldn¡¯t be dispatched here, it would be a waste.¡±


    ...


    ¡°However, we must prepare for the worst-case scenario. What if a senior Second Rank fighter really appears?¡± Liu Jing questioned seriously.


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Liu Jing, who had been in charge of the outpost, had dealt with the Tianliang Clan for decades and knew far more than Li Yuan.


    Perhaps, the whereabouts of the Tianliang Clan¡¯s Second Rank fighters were all recorded at the base.


    ¡°Moreover, as the war progresses, it¡¯s likely to become a large-scale conflict involving Mechanical Legions, reducing the significance of ordinary Martial Artists,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Your personal martial strength¡­ is not that crucial. In fact, it could be very dangerous.¡±


    Liu Jing left something unsaid.


    The ownership of Flying Serpent Valley was indeed important, but in his view, it was nowhere near as important as Li Yuan.


    Billions of Blue Star Coins? They couldn¡¯t compare to a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    In Liu Jing¡¯s mind, given Li Yuan¡¯s talent, it would be abnormal for him not to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future.


    ¡°Elder,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°You make a lot of sense, but there are two things I don¡¯t quite agree with.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Which two things?¡± Liu Jing was taken aback.


    ¡°Firstly, I came to the Mingxu Star Realm to brave life-and-death situations and temper myself,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Without taking risks, I wouldn¡¯t be able to grow so quickly.¡±


    ¡°So, even if you convince me to leave, I will go to other areas of the Star Realm to continue fighting and killing in the coming time. It will be just as dangerous and unpredictable,¡± Li Yuan stated.


    Liu Jing¡¯s pupils contracted slightly, but he knew Li Yuan¡¯s logic was sound.


    Superior fighters were all forged through countless life-and-death battles.


    No matter how talented one was, without tempering and the heart of a strong fighter, one could never become truly powerful.


    ¡°Secondly,¡± Li Yuan continued, his face wearing a hint of an enigmatic smile. ¡°Elder, my strength isn¡¯t that of an ordinary Prime Warrior.¡±


    Before he could finish,


    ¡°Rumble~¡± A hint of light suddenly burst forth from Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Following that, an invisible wave of spiritual power erupted from Li Yuan, like a mighty dam collapsing, the surging torrents poured out, instantly hitting Liu Jing¡¯s consciousness.


    ¡°Boom!¡± It was like a heavy hammer, causing a flicker in Liu Jing¡¯s spirit; he lost focus for a moment.


    In the next instant, Liu Jing recovered, but his eyes were full of shock. ¡°This? How is this possible!¡±


    It was known that his spiritual power was comparable to a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist¡¯s, and aware that Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had reached the Flying Heaven Level¡­ Subconsciously, he would have guarded against Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Shock Attack.


    Logically, he shouldn¡¯t have been affected.


    Yet, even with his defenses up, he was still hit.


    ¡°How has your Spiritual Shock become so much stronger than before?¡± Liu Jing couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been cultivating the Spiritual Secret Technique ¡®Soul Shock¡¯ in the past two hours. There has been a slight improvement,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    There was no need to hide this.


    Spirit Concentration Techniques like ¡°Spirit Concentration¡± and ¡°Soul Shock¡± were almost publicly known, and many Martial Artists tried to cultivate them, though most weren¡¯t very effective.


    ¡°Remarkable,¡± Liu Jing thought to himself, deeply impressed.


    He understood what Li Yuan meant. For an ordinary First Stage Martial Path prodigy, it would be difficult to get involved in the clash of powerful martial artists.


    But Li Yuan was different; with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, once he used a Spiritual Secret Technique, he could influence senior Prime Warriors or even Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, causing them to lose focus for a moment.


    Perhaps it was only 0.1 second or even shorter.


    But in that instant, at a critical moment, it could reverse the situation.


    ¡°Elder, am I qualified to join the battle now?¡± Li Yuan asked with a smile on his face.


    Liu Jing fell silent for a moment, then sighed and said, ¡°If I continue to say you¡¯re not qualified, that would be nothing but self-deception.¡±


    ¡°But I must clarify two things beforehand.¡±


    ¡°First, if you encounter unstoppable danger and I order you to flee, you must do so,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°Second, once the Mechanical Legion arrives, you must leave¡­ There¡¯s no room for you to temper yourself in a battle between armies.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    After all, it was up to him when to stay or to leave; who could really bind him?


    ¡­Li Yuan and Liu Jing waited patiently on the spot. Not long after,


    Swoosh!


    A figure in purple flashed from the distant river with considerable speed, detected from afar by Li Yuan.


    His powerful spiritual senses made him more sensitive to his surroundings.


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level 23.8]¡± Li Yuan instantly performed a Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Since his spiritual power reached level 20, the consumption of performing Divine Palace Inquiry had become much less. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Now with his soul at the Flying Heaven Level, the impact of performing the inquiry was almost negligible.


    ¡°Miao Wei.¡± Liu Jing, catching on moments later, called out, his voice booming through the area, ¡°Over here.¡±


    Swoosh! The purple-clothed woman approached rapidly, leaping several times until she was on the cliff¡¯s cave.


    ¡°Liu Elder.¡±


    The purple-clothed woman Miao Wei seemed pleasantly surprised. ¡°Are your injuries truly fully healed?¡±


    ¡°Yes, thanks to Xu An¡¯s Spiritual Medicine. Not only are my injuries gone, my hidden injuries are healed, and I¡¯ve even made a breakthrough in my techniques,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile. ¡°He is a great benefactor to me.¡±

    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Delgado suddenly burst forward, his body instantly enveloped by a battle garment, faintly radiating with an earthy yellow glow, resembling a war god holding a combat saber.


    He roared toward Liu Jing.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Mo Li also activated his Origin Power battle suit in an instant, his body surface shimmering with blue light, his figure agile, he rushed forward at extreme speed.


    Swish! The grotesquely clad youth ¡®Xue Shu¡¯ retreated like lightning, dashing into the distant woods.


    ...


    He actually fled directly.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± Liu Jing¡¯s legs powered up suddenly, his body diffusing flames, like a fire war god, charging at Delgado like lightning.


    Boom! Miao Wei, with an excellent physique, wielding dual swords, also directly confronted Mo Li.


    The parties had little to exchange.


    Because they had already clashed in secret before, and now they had all arrived at Flying Serpent Valley so swiftly¡ªeach understood the other¡¯s intentions¡ªseizing control of Flying Serpent Valley.


    Then let it be battle!


    The stronger warrior wins.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Peng~¡± ¡°Rumble~¡± The four Prime Warriors burst forth and collided in an instant, the terrifying aftermaths impacting all directions, huge rocks and trees toppling, chaos reigning.


    In just an encounter, Liu Jing completely overpowered Delgado, his strikes lethal and wildly fierce, forcing the opponent into a hasty retreat.


    Meanwhile, Miao Wei¡¯s twin swords were continuous, easily blocking the agile Mo Li¡¯s attacks, locked in fierce combat that was hard to resolve.


    However.


    The four Prime Warriors engaged in the battle all noticed the inconspicuous Li Yuan.


    The moment the battle of the Prime Warriors erupted.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan shot out like lightning, darting forward, directly pursuing the fleeing Xue Shu.


    ¡°These two Tianliang Clan Second Rank, one at 24.8 and the other at 23.7, Elder Liu and the others can easily suppress them,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°The one fleeing should be the Tianliang Clan holy ground disciple ¡®Xue Shu¡¯, at 19.3, very close to becoming a Prime Warrior, he must not be allowed to escape.¡±


    The instant he sensed the three great experts from the Tianliang Clan, Li Yuan employed the Divine Palace Inquiry to preliminarily confirm their strength.


    The holy ground disciples have the greatest potential, so they must be killed.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan, bursting forth at full speed, instantly left the main battlefield, pursuing Xue Shu, his speed incessantly soaring, reaching over 130 meters per second in just two seconds.


    Such extreme burst speed has already surpassed the baseline of a level 20 Martial Artist.


    ¡°So fast? The life detection device clearly showed he¡¯s only at level 19,¡± Xue Shu¡¯s face changed as he fled, with his full power erupting at only a hundred meters per second.


    He fell far behind Li Yuan.


    Little did he know, retreating first was Delgado¡¯s plan because Liu Jing was too strong, and this battle was impossible to win.


    Unexpectedly, Li Yuan chased him down alone.


    In just five seconds, as they fled hundreds of meters, Li Yuan had caught up to Xue Shu.


    ¡°Swish!¡± The long spear, like a dragon, shot forth like a meteor, viciously stabbing at Xue Shu.


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Xue Shu¡¯s vigor fully erupted, swinging his combat saber wildly, turning to strike fiercely at Li Yuan,


    As a holy ground disciple of the Tianliang Clan, barely achieving the subtlety of the mind, his strength was tremendous.


    ¡°Swish!¡± The combat saber howled!


    At that moment. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Boom!


    Xue Shu¡¯s mind blanked in an instant, his brain turning empty, his arm almost failing to grip the combat saber.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    As they passed each other in a flash, a glint of spear light swept by, instantly slashing across Xue Shu¡¯s neck.


    The head flew off! Blood gushed out like a fountain.


    In a single encounter.


    The Tianliang Clan¡¯s holy ground disciple, a subtle master of the mind¡ªXue Shu, died!

    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A single spear thrust killed Xue Shu?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Seven Star human martial artist only at level 19?¡± Both Delgado and Mo Li, who were still engaged in fierce combat hundreds of meters away, were shocked.


    They were both well aware of Xue Shu¡¯s strength, who, in theory, should have been able to hold out for a while against level 20 or 21 opponents.


    Yet, when faced with an opponent of the same level, he was killed in a single encounter?


    No! To be precise, it was an instant kill.


    ...


    This meant that the gap in strength between the two was unimaginably wide.


    ¡°Could it be that the level 19 Seven Star human martial artist is one of the top super geniuses in the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Xue Shu is dead.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re in trouble.¡± Delgado and Mo Li were extremely agitated, not because they thought Li Yuan could threaten them,


    but because Xue Shu was dead.


    At level 19, capable of subtle invocation of the mind, he wasn¡¯t the core disciple among the three sacred places of the Tianliang Clan, but he was still considered a powerful talent, and it would have been almost effortless for him to become a top-grade Origin Martial Artist in the future.


    But now he was dead.


    And under their protection?


    It could be said that even if the two of them survived and returned, they would still be ¡®punished¡¯ by the upper echelons of the Tianliang Clan.


    This was also the reason why they had Xue Shu escape at the first opportunity once the battle began.


    ¡­ ¡°Xu An, is he that powerful?¡± Miao Wei was just as shocked as Delgado and Mo Li.


    She knew about Xue Shu¡¯s general information and guessed that the fleeing blood-robed figure must be the disciple from the Tianliang Clan¡¯s sacred place.


    As a result, he was killed by Li Yuan in one move.


    ¡°How did he do it?¡± An idea flashed through Miao Wei¡¯s mind as she suddenly remembered what Liu Jing had said on their way to the Flying Serpent Valley, ¡°In certain respects, Xu An is no inferior to you.¡±


    At the time she didn¡¯t quite believe it, but now she was completely convinced.


    ¡°Spiritual Shock, right?¡± Liu Jing was the most composed of them all; he was just suppressing Delgado, not yet using his true strength.


    He was the least surprised by Li Yuan¡¯s one-hit kill of Xue Shu.


    ¡­


    ¡°His technique is not bad; although he¡¯s only at level 19.3, the power and speed he unleashed were close to a level 20 martial artist, and he must have reached Subtlety.¡± Li Yuan retracted his spear, glancing at the corpse.


    Following the teachings of his teacher Xu Bo, he directly dismembered it.


    ¡°Too bad his spiritual power is quite ordinary, probably only at level 20 or 21.¡±


    ¡°If you had an Origin Power Battle Suit, maybe you could have taken a few more hits,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    With an Origin Power Battle Suit, vitality was increased tenfold.


    No battle suit?


    If Li Yuan did not use Spiritual Shock, in a normal fight, Xue Shu could at least withstand dozens of moves; after all, their strength and speed were comparable.


    However, when Xue Shu was immediately subdued by the ¡°Soul Shock¡± secret technique from Li Yuan and without a battle suit to protect his body, life and death were decided in an instant.


    After all, even Liu Jing, whose spiritual power was comparable to a top-grade Origin Martial Artist, would be briefly stunned by Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Shock.


    What more to say of Xue Shu?


    It may sound slow, but in reality, Li Yuan didn¡¯t even have time to search the body; the very next second after tearing apart Xue Shu¡¯s corpse.


    Boom!


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan had suddenly turned around and surged back with force towards the four great Prime Warriors who were still engaged in fierce combat.


    According to the plan Li Yuan and Liu Jing had made early on, Liu Jing would only launch a full offensive to try to kill all the enemies when Li Yuan used the Spiritual Secret Technique ¡°Soul Shock¡± at close range.


    But what happened next was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s expectation.


    As he charged towards the main battlefield, Delgado and Mo Li also suddenly exerted their strength, attempting to shake off Liu Jing and Miao Wei to charge at him with all their might.


    ¡°Trying to kill me?¡± Li Yuan instantly understood the intentions of the opponents and instead of retreating, he advanced.


    He still charged head-on towards them.


    ¡­¡±Stay put!¡± Liu Jing burst out shouting.


    Seeing Delgado trying to charge at Li Yuan, he was also shocked and his Subtlety of the mind fully erupted, the light of his saber flowing continuously, with both speed and strength surging in an instant.


    He blocked Delgado, who was trying to flee.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± A succession of collisions.


    ¡°Boom~¡± A terrifying saber light swept across the Vast Sky, landing on Delgado¡¯s body, directly sending him flying backward.


    Delgado crashed heavily onto a huge rock, which exploded into pieces, and shards of stone scattered in all directions.


    Flying out more than ten meters, he then struck and collapsed a large tree before finally coming to a halt.


    Spurt~ A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out from his mouth.


    ¡°Your power? How could it be this strong? Have you reached Subtlety?¡± Delgado looked up, staring at Liu Jing with immense shock in his heart.


    Just moments ago, he was only slightly at a disadvantage, but now he was being completely overpowered by Liu Jing¡¯s outburst.


    He truly felt the danger.


    ¡°Die.¡± Liu Jing couldn¡¯t be bothered to answer, and the moment he sent Delgado flying with a slash, he exerted his strength once more, pouncing like a fierce tiger with an incredibly fierce Swordsmanship.


    Having erupted, he would not hold back any longer.


    Just now, Liu Jing also became worried that Delgado might threaten Li Yuan, which is why he burst out directly


    In fact, if Delgado had not been protected by an Origin Power Battle Suit, he probably would have been near death from that single slash.


    This was the function of the Battle Garment, enveloping the entire body and greatly reducing the impact of any attack.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Delgado gritted his teeth, suddenly gripping the Combat Saber in his hand to rush out, trying his best to resist Liu Jing¡¯s onslaught.


    ¡­Mo Li¡¯s strength was not inferior to Miao Wei¡¯s, especially when it came to Physical Quality which was even slightly stronger.


    Whoosh! With a flash, Mo Li shook off Miao Wei and charged towards Li Yuan like lightning.


    ¡°Being able to kill Xue Shu in one move, he must be an extremely rare genius in the Seven Star Human Civilization.¡± Mo Li fixed his gaze on Li Yuan, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent: ¡°As long as I kill you, I will be able to atone for my sins.¡±


    ¡°And then I shall escape immediately.¡±


    ¡°I refuse to believe that you, a Level 19 Seven Stars human Martial Artist, can be that strong.¡± Mo Li bit his teeth, knowing well that one who could instantly kill Xue Shu¡ª


    The Seven Stars human genius before him would definitely be tough to handle.


    But no matter how tough, with a 4-level difference in Life Level and several times the disparity in strength, how could he possibly resist?


    ¡°Xu An, be careful.¡± Miao Wei shouted furiously, extremely anxious in her heart; her speed was also extremely fast, but being thrown off just now, she was half a beat behind Mo Li.


    What worried Miao Wei even more was that Li Yuan still showed no sign of dodging as he charged straight forward.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Be ready.¡± An icy voice exploded in Miao Wei¡¯s mind, causing her to space out for an instant.


    Telepathy!


    Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, incredibly potent, had given birth to a wisp of Divine Sense that could perceive everything in all directions¡­ at close range, it was possible to have a spiritual exchange with a strong opponent.


    ¡°`


    However, now only Li Yuan was telepathically communicating with Miao Wei, who could not respond.


    Like some top-grade origin martial artists, they too could communicate telepathically.


    The advantage of telepathic communication, first is secrecy, and second is that it disregards spatial distance, allowing for timely exchange and reminders.


    After all, when top-grade origin martial artists burst out in extreme combat, their movement speeds are almost the speed of sound, and a very few even surpass the speed of sound¡­ verbal communication just isn¡¯t possible.


    Boom! Boom!


    The speed of both Li Yuan and Mo Li was terrifying, with terrifying force erupting from their legs, stirring up countless fragments of rocks and soil along their path¡­ none of which affected them.


    At a distance of 700 meters, they were about to collide head-on in less than three seconds.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Mo Li swung his long spear, the spear light flashing as he thrust it fiercely.


    This thrust was filled with rage, unleashing a terrifying force of over 300,000 kilograms.


    A 24th-level Origin Martial Artist has a standard fist strength of 300,000 kilograms.


    ¡°Soul Shock!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were intimidating, a powerful spiritual fluctuation erupted directly, rolling and crushing everything in its path.


    Mo Li was fast, but Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual attack was even faster, striking before Mo Li could react.


    Boom! Mo Li felt as though his head was struck by a heavy hammer, his consciousness roaring and exploding, almost losing grip on his combat saber.


    Following closely.


    ¡°Peng~¡± A powerful force instantly stabbed at his throat, the terrible shock passing through his fighting spirit and sending his body tumbling backwards.


    The drilling pain instantly sobered Mo Li, who tumbled through the air, his eyes filled with horror.


    He had already crossed paths with Li Yuan.


    ¡°What kind of move is this? A spiritual shock?¡± Mo Li was shocked, ¡°How did he, a first-rank martial artist, achieve this?¡±


    Whoosh~


    Mo Li landed heavily on the ground, feeling unbearable pain in his throat, a wave of fright washing over him.


    Had it not been for the protection of the Origin Power Battle Suit, his throat would have certainly been pierced by that strike.


    It would have been an instant kill.


    Before Mo Li could think clearly, he felt another terrifying spiritual shock wave crash down on him, his mind becoming muddled once again.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Miao Wei had finally arrived, attacking like lightning.


    Just now, she watched as Li Yuan and Mo Li crossed paths.


    Immediately after, Mo Li was blown away by Li Yuan¡¯s spear attack.


    Miao Wei was shocked by the terrifying methods Li Yuan had unleashed, but she knew that now was not the time to inquire about it.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Sword light flowed like water, pouring crazily onto Mo Li¡¯s body, her swordsmanship far more potent than Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Puff!¡± In the exchange, at least four sword lights slashed across Mo Li¡¯s throat.


    That was also where Li Yuan had previously aimed his long spear.


    The first sword stroke was still blocked by Mo Li¡¯s Origin Power Battle Suit, but the second stroke nearly cut through it.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Mo Li had just regained consciousness, feeling excruciating pain in his throat, and was just about to retreat swiftly.


    The last two streaks of sword light flashed by like lightning once again.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    No matter how tough the Origin Power Battle Suit was, it couldn¡¯t withstand four consecutive attacks on the same spot by a martial artist of the same rank in an extremely short period of time. At that moment, the suit was completely ripped open.


    The final stroke of the sword light directly grazed Mo Li¡¯s neck, and blood gushed like a fountain.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Me?¡± Mo Li¡¯s eyes widened as he instinctively covered his throat, but he couldn¡¯t stop the bleeding and could hardly make a sound.


    Even second-rank fighters with vigorous life forces would die if their hearts shattered or their throats were slit without any other life-saving means.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Having landed a successful blow, Miao Wei¡¯s sword light struck like lightning, repeatedly and relentlessly attacking.


    She offered no chance for Mo Li to survive.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    With the final stroke of sword light, Mo Li¡¯s head was sent flying, one of his arms also severed.


    The Tianliang Clan¡¯s second-rank fighter, Mo Li, dead.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    After crossing paths with Mo Li and creating an opportunity for Miao Wei, Li Yuan had already fled far away.


    Seeing that his spear hadn¡¯t truly harmed Mo Li, Li Yuan immediately realized that his own strength was too weak, greatly lacking when it came to frontal combat.


    Reliance purely on spiritual attacks would hardly defeat those ¡®intermediate origin warriors¡¯ clad in Origin Power Battle Suits.


    In the clashes of Origin Warriors, he served as support.


    In just two seconds, Li Yuan had rushed close to Delgado and Liu Jing, who were fiercely fighting.


    Both powerful fighters were using combat sabers with extreme ferocity. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At full force, Liu Jing completely overpowered Delgado. Each collision resulted in a terrifying sonic boom, causing massive rocks along their path to shatter and trees to tumble.


    The fight was brutally intense.


    However, as the Tianliang Clan¡¯s strongest dispatched fighter, Delgado also possessed remarkable strength, enduring against the powerful Liu Jing.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying wave of spiritual pressure hit, causing Delgado¡¯s mind to reel. He had practiced some spiritual concentration secret techniques and instinctively tried to fend off the attack.


    But he had no chance, like a small dam trying to hold back a flooding river.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Confusion appeared in Delgado¡¯s eyes, and the speed of his combat saber greatly reduced.


    ¡°Die!¡± As a fighter specialized in subtlety, Liu Jing was always ready.


    Slash! A dazzling flash of the saber swiftly passed over Delgado¡¯s neck, decapitating him.


    Delgado, dead!


    In the continuous exchanges, Liu Jing had already seriously wounded Delgado several times, and seizing the opportunity, he delivered the fatal blow.


    With this.


    The three strongest members of the Tianliang Clan¡¯s vanguard team were all dead.


    Whoosh!


    Just as Miao Wei rushed over, she witnessed the scene unfolding before her, her eyes filled with shock.


    ¡°They¡¯ve all been killed.¡± Liu Jing grinned, his saber still dripping with blood, ¡°Let¡¯s check their bodies first.¡±


    ¡°Collect anything valuable.¡±

 Chapter 241 - 196: Harvest! The Shocked Tianliang Clan! (Extra 9)

    Chapter 241: Chapter 196: Harvest! The Shocked Tianliang Clan! (Extra 9)


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, check carefully.¡± Li Yuan and Miao Wei both nodded in agreement.


    They immediately split up and sprinted toward the distant bodies of Xue Shu and Mo Li.


    During the fierce battle just now, after they finished off their opponents, they all went to provide support immediately, without any time to search for war spoils.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan ran up to the torn body of a Xue Shu, quickly and meticulously inspecting it.


    ...


    He then discovered that aside from weapons, armor, and life detectors, there wasn¡¯t much left.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly paused, opening the sealed compartment in the corpse¡¯s inner armor.


    A strange, refreshing fragrance wafted out.


    Surprise flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Because in that compartment were several elixirs, which Li Yuan could not identify¡­ But given how secretly they were placed, they were likely extremely precious.


    Beyond that, Li Yuan didn¡¯t find anything else of value.


    Gathering all the items together.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan quickly returned to where Liu Jing was, who had already mostly stripped down the items from Delgado¡¯s body.


    Miao Wei had also returned with the items left by Mo Li.


    The three of them placed the spoils of war in the center, piling up into a heap.


    ¡°I¡¯ll check to see.¡± Liu Jing quickly began inspecting them, and when he checked the several elixirs scavenged by Li Yuan, he revealed a smile, ¡°These should be life-saving elixirs, but the Tianliang Clan¡¯s elixir formulas are slightly different from ours, its effects must be checked before we can know its value.¡±


    ¡°Two Origin Power Battle Suits, both with slight damage, can be used after repairs.¡±


    ¡°These weapons are also quite good, worth quite a bit of money, plus these miscellaneous items¡­ total value.¡± Liu Jing pondered briefly before saying, ¡°Except for the elixirs.¡±


    ¡°If the other items are sold back to the Alliance¡¯s procurement department, they should be worth 1.5 billion Blue Star Coins.¡±


    Li Yuan and Miao Wei nodded slightly, 1.5 billion Blue Star Coins?


    It sounds like a lot, but it¡¯s worth remembering that this was the result of them wiping out three powerful members of the Tianliang Clan.


    Normally, Prime Warriors do not willingly engage in battle with warriors of the same rank, as it¡¯s extremely dangerous.


    High rewards come with high risks.


    Many Prime Warriors may never experience such a brutal battle in their lifetimes¡­ and if one experiences it too often without sufficient strength, they are bound to die in a life-and-death fight sooner or later.


    ¡°Regarding these spoils, once everything is sold, we¡¯ll divide them equally among the three of us, no problem.¡± Liu Jing smiled as he looked at the two.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡± Li Yuan and Miao Wei both nodded in agreement, and if anyone was at a disadvantage, it was Liu Jing.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave the stuff here and mark it,¡± Liu Jing said, ¡°then we¡¯ll continue to scout both sides of Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    ¡°Just now on our way here, we encountered quite a few Tianliang Clan First Rank warriors¡­ but we refrained from acting against those First Rank warriors because we were focused on a surprise attack against the Tianliang Clan Prime Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Now, let¡¯s exterminate them first.¡± Liu Jing shared his thoughts.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s move.¡±


    The three formidable fighters once again set into motion, very tacitly forming two teams¡ªone with Liu Jing alone, the other with Li Yuan and Miao Wei.


    About one kilometer apart, they spread out to sweep and inspect the area.


    ¡­


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    The spear light flashed by, and a frantically fleeing Tianliang Clan warrior fell without any chance to fight back.


    ¡°Spiritual Awakening Level at 30.1%?¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, ¡°That¡¯s really slow.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan continued forward.


    With his spiritual power extended outward, his perception ability had reached an unfathomable level, and some Tianliang Clan warriors who were trying to hide could not escape their inquiry.


    Even along the way, when Li Yuan occasionally encountered Flying Serpents, he slaughtered them just the same.


    As planned.


    If they were to establish a new base in the vicinity of Flying Serpent Valley, the entire Flying Serpent population would either be completely destroyed or at least all driven away.


    Alien races, with hearts inevitably different from our own.


    When it comes to the struggle for living space.


    For the future of the entire civilization, having experienced the ¡®Fish Spirit Tide¡¯ in Jiang City, Li Yuan would show no mercy to alien races.


    ¡­


    An hour later.


    Li Yuan, Liu Jing, and Miao Wei had collectively purged the entire area around Flying Serpent Valley, with over 150 Tianliang Clan warriors killed by them, not counting the Flying Serpents.


    Perhaps a few Tianliang Clan warriors survived, but they most certainly fled in panic.


    The three regrouped at the original battlefield. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xu An, you should take these spoils of war and return to the forward outpost first.¡± Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Senior, I should go back?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°With the vicinity of Flying Serpent Valley largely cleared, and the Tianliang Clan¡¯s advance force completely wiped out, as long as the Tianliang Clan¡¯s high command isn¡¯t foolish, they will suspend actions for now. A large-scale battle won¡¯t erupt again for a considerable time.¡± Liu Jing smiled faintly, ¡°With our Mechanical Legion about to arrive¡­ we already have an absolute advantage.¡±


    ¡°Your continued presence here is unlikely to be of much use to you, it would be better for you to return to the forward outpost first.¡±


    ¡°First, to bring the spoils of war back.¡±


    ¡°Second, to have a good rest.¡± Liu Jing smiled, ¡°Afterward, if we really need support here, how about you come back then?¡±


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t refuse any further, his spiritual power had just made a breakthrough, and he indeed needed to meditate quietly for a few days.


    ¡°Xu An, be careful on the way back.¡± Miao Wei smiled. After the recent battle, her opinion of Li Yuan had completely changed.


    A few minutes later.


    Li Yuan packed a large amount of spoils of war into his backpack, stuffed to the brim, and quickly disappeared into the forest.


    Not until Li Yuan had completely vanished from sight.


    ¡°Elder Liu,¡± Miao Wei spoke softly, ¡°You¡¯re worried about Xu An getting involved in the upcoming war, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Liu Jing nodded slightly, ¡°You just checked the device left by the Tianliang Clan¡¯s Prime Warrior, and you must have discovered the secret at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    ¡°A small Origin Crystal vein.¡± Miao Wei said solemnly.


    ¡°As of now, the Tianliang Clan has suffered heavy losses, but they won¡¯t easily give up, enticed by an Origin Crystal vein,¡± Liu Jing said indifferently, ¡°They will definitely reorganize their forces to come back, even summoning more powerhouses from their homeland civilization.¡±


    ¡°Soon, a great battle will erupt in Flying Serpent Valley,¡± Liu Jing said.


    Miao Wei nodded slightly.


    They were both aware of the value of an Origin Crystal vein; even a small one had an astonishing total worth.


    Not to mention the loss of just two Prime Warriors; even if twenty or thirty died, the Tianliang Clan would probably not give up the fight.


    ¡°You must have sensed Xu An¡¯s talent and strength,¡± Liu Jing said, ¡°Continuing to stay here during the upcoming battle would be extremely dangerous¡­ sending him back is the best choice.¡±


    Miao Wei listened, accustomed to following Liu Jing¡¯s arrangements.


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°In the report to the base, list Xu An as the first discoverer of the ¡®Origin Crystal vein¡¯, with you and me as the second discoverers,¡± Liu Jing said.


    ¡°To list him as the first?¡± Miao Wei was surprised and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t saving my life enough reason?¡± Liu Jing glanced at her, ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling, I don¡¯t mind removing you from the list of discoverers.¡±


    ¡°Understood. My report will list him as the first discoverer.¡± Miao Wei gave in.


    As the discoverer of this small Origin Crystal vein, if a war base was successfully established in the future, a substantial reward would be given at least ten billion Blue Star Coins¡­ she certainly did not wish to be kicked out.


    Essentially, Liu Jing was transferring his own interest to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Elder Liu, why didn¡¯t you tell Xu An the truth just now?¡± Miao Wei couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Foolish,¡± Liu Jing shook his head, ¡°With his intelligence, if he knew the truth, he would certainly guess that the Tianliang Clan would not let things go¡­ He would most likely not leave.¡±


    Miao Wei suddenly understood.


    ¡°Alright, quickly finish the report and send it to me,¡± Liu Jing said, ¡°I am going to wait for the subsequent forces to arrive.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Elder Liu.¡±


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan rushed to Outpost Base Three, and Liu Jing and Miao Wei prepared to establish a preliminary war defense system,


    Thousands of kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley,


    Within a rather dreamy city, the upper echelon of the Tianliang Clan was holding an emergency meeting.


    In the vast conference room, several holograms were projected, displaying the battle scenes between Li Yuan, Liu Jing, and their group against Xue Shu and Mo Li¡¯s group in Flying Serpent Valley.


    The five Second Rank powerhouses of the Tianliang Clan all watched the hologram in dead silence.


    After a long while,


    ¡°You¡¯ve all seen it, Delgado, Mo Li, Xue Shu¡ªall died in battle,¡± said the figure in casual clothes, his voice slightly hoarse, ¡°These videos are the last segment of imagery transmitted by their own devices after the three of them died.¡±


    The technology of the Tianliang Clan was very advanced in some aspects.


    Their personal devices recorded many things; normally, the owner decided whether to upload these images.


    But once the owner died, the device would transmit the last segment of video back to the base.


    Originally, there was no signal around Flying Serpent Valley.


    However, in these last few days, while seeking Flying Serpent Valley, the Tianliang Clan had built temporary signal relay stations en route, allowing the videos to be sent back.


    ¡°Liu Jing of the Seven Stars human civilization has greatly improved in strength since the past, his injuries have fully recovered, and he is suspected to have reached Subtlety.¡± The figure in casual clothes said slowly, ¡°Any one of us, in a one-on-one fight, would probably be no match for him.¡±


    Silence ensued.


    Subtlety?


    The Tianliang Clan might have more Prime Warriors, but they were just Second Rank beginners or intermediates.


    Any one of them facing Liu Jing would be at a disadvantage, or even face death.


    ¡°Liu Jing¡¯s breakthrough is just one aspect.¡±


    ¡°The key lies in this human,¡± the figure in casual clothes said, pointing at the young man highlighted on the hologram, which was Li Yuan.


    ¡°According to the video, with multiple life detectors¡¯ inquiry, he¡¯s just level 19, which should be accurate.¡±


    ¡°Yet his extreme running speed has exceeded 130 meters per second.¡±


    ¡°And how did he manage to kill Xue Shu with one move?¡± the figure in casual clothes said solemnly, ¡°I suspect he is a ¡®SSS-grade genius¡¯ that the Seven Stars human civilization has kept hidden.¡±


    ¡°It must be reported upward.¡±


    ¡°Find out who he is.¡±

 Chapter 242 - 197: 1.088 Billion Blue Star Coins! Spear Technique Growth

    Chapter 242: Chapter 197: 1.088 Billion Blue Star Coins! Spear Technique Growth


    ¡°What? An SSS-level genius?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that a bit exaggerated?¡±


    ¡°Such geniuses, within the entire Seven Star human civilization, might not even appear once a year.¡± The meeting room erupted with discussions, with two Prime Warriors not quite convinced.


    In their minds, an SSS-level genius from the Seven Star human civilization, and a ¡®Saint Heir¡¯ from the Tianliang Clan, held almost equal status.


    ¡°Quiet.¡±


    The figure in casual clothes frowned and said, ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I know there are many thoughts in your minds.¡±


    ...


    ¡°All we need to do is to report upward, the rest is out of our hands.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, to be honest, we know very little about this Seven Star human genius¨Chis name, experiences, specific strength and so on, are all unknown¡­ We can¡¯t even confirm his appearance accurately, the only thing certain is that he uses a Long Spear, and his Spear Technique is suspected to have reached Unity of Heaven and Man.¡± The figure in casual clothes said, ¡°And with such strength, he definitely won¡¯t stay long in Mingxu Star Realm. Our outpost here is incapable of dealing with him.¡±


    The other Prime Warriors couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    Not to mention anything else.


    Just seeing him easily dodge Mo Li in a duel had already made several Prime Warriors¡¯ scalps tingle.


    ¡°However, from his appearance and the fact that he came to Mingxu Star Realm¡­ we can deduce with high probability that he comes from the ¡®Xia Country¡¯ of the Seven Star human civilization,¡± the figure in casual clothes said. ¡°So, in the future when he becomes a Prime Warrior, or even reaches the Flying Heaven Realm, the probability that he heads to ¡®Wanhan Star Realm¡¯ is very high.¡±


    ¡°Making the civilization¡¯s higher-ups prepare early can¡¯t be wrong.¡±


    ¡°Besides, if we can truly find out who he is, we might be able to initiate an ¡®assassination¡¯ plan ahead of time within the Seven Star human civilization,¡± the figure in casual clothes said.


    ¡°Makes sense.¡±


    ¡°Hayden is right.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t kill him, but if he could be killed in the ¡®Wanhan Star Realm¡¯ in the future, then we, as the ones who first reported it, would also be credited.¡±


    ¡°Sign it, and let¡¯s report it.¡± The Prime Warriors were completely convinced by the figure in casual clothes.


    Wanhan Star Realm.


    It¡¯s the only Third Level Star Realm of Blue Star, and it¡¯s also the main battlefield for intense confrontations between the Seven Stars human civilization and Tianliang Civilization¡­ gathering many strong figures from both civilizations.


    Even dispatching strong figures to infiltrate each other¡¯s civilizations.


    Due to the numerous battles, both civilizations have a profound understanding of each other.


    Mingxu Star Realm? For both civilizations, it¡¯s merely an insignificant place, with little resources and power invested¡­ However, now that a source crystal vein has been discovered, naturally it incites both sides to invest more resources in the contest.


    ¡­


    Six hours later, Li Yuan, carrying a large amount of battle spoils, returned to the long-missed No. 3 outpost base.


    In the plaza in front of the base.


    ¡°Xu An, my brother, welcome back.¡± A young man in a white robe greeted with a smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for a long time, he approached proactively.


    ¡°Han Chong, senior?¡± Li Yuan smiled, already guessing who it was and performed a Divine Palace Inquiry.


    ¡°[Target organism, Life Level 22.5]¡±


    Han Chong, ranking third among the three military officials of the No. 3 outpost base, a junior Prime Warrior, not bad in terms of strength.


    ¡°Stop calling me senior, I¡¯m not that much older than you¡­ just by a decade or so.¡±


    ¡°Haha, this is our first meeting. Liu Jing and Miao Wei have called me several times, they spoke very highly of you.¡± Han Chong was extremely enthusiastic, ¡°Come on, I¡¯ve already set up a feast in the base to celebrate your return.¡±


    Han Chong was somewhat calculating. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But he was also very careful, gleaning from the little information revealed by Liu Jing and Miao Wei, he had guessed that this young man named ¡®Xu An¡¯ had an enormous background.


    ¡°Senior Han, let¡¯s deal with formalities first.¡± Li Yuan pointed to his large backpack and the bloodstains on his body.


    ¡°My fault, my fault.¡± Han Chong slapped his own head, laughing, ¡°Alright, brother Xu An, let¡¯s go to the appraisal room first, I¡¯ve already asked the recovery department¡¯s appraisal expert to come¡­ the pricing will definitely be fair.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, how could it not be fair?


    The spoils of war included not just his share, but also that of Liu Jing, and Miao Wei.


    ¡°This way, please.¡± Han Chong said with a smile.


    ¡­


    In the appraisal room.


    Several appraisers were busy with various instruments, checking each piece of battle spoils Li Yuan had brought.


    ¡°Two Origin Power Battle Suits, both damaged, with a total value of about 82 million Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°This Combat Saber¡­¡±


    ¡°This Long Spear, is a special alloy weapon, using a small amount of Third Rank metal that we don¡¯t have on Blue Star¡­¡± the eldest appraiser continued to give Li Yuan quotes.


    ¡°The final total price.¡± The elderly appraiser looked up at Li Yuan, ¡°Warrior Xu An, in total 160 million Blue Star Coins, what do you say?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s acceptable.¡± Li Yuan nodded his head.


    The price was much higher than Liu Jing¡¯s estimate, and he was very satisfied.


    ¡°What about the four elixirs?¡± asked Li Yuan.


    ¡°Upon preliminary appraisal, they seem to be a kind of healing elixir from the Tianliang Clan, Second Rank, not very high in value, but they are very special, and our Union has always been researching their formula,¡± the elderly appraiser said gravely, ¡°So, I can offer 80 million Blue Star Coins for the four elixirs.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    If only considering the value of the elixirs themselves, these four might not be so highly priced¡­but because of their research value, the significance was completely different.


    ¡°All right, that¡¯s fine.¡± Li Yuan nodded in agreement, 80 million Blue Star Coins was quite a sum.


    ¡°For this separate Second Rank Flying Serpent horn, our appraisal is 30 million Blue Star Coins,¡± the elderly appraiser pointed to the horn set aside on its own.


    ¡°No problem.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    The elixirs, Origin Power Battle Suits, and other spoils of war were shared between himself, Liu Jing, and Miao Wei.


    But the Flying Serpent horn was his alone.

 Chapter 243 - 197: 1.088 Billion Blue Star Coins! Spear Technique Growth_2

    Chapter 243: Chapter 197: 1.088 Billion Blue Star Coins! Spear Technique Growth_2


    Ultimately, Li Yuan¡¯s spoils of war from the Flying Serpent Valley were all packed and taken away by these appraisers. Soon after, they would be sent back to Blue Star through the entrance and exit of the Star Realm, then reprocessed and sold¡­ At the same time, Li Yuan also received 216 million Blue Star Coins.


    Taxes had to be paid.


    Within the Seven Star Alliance, it is stipulated that all harvests and trades from the Star Realm are subject to a 20% tax¡­ Therefore, for this transaction worth a total of 270 million Blue Star Coins, a tax of 54 million Blue Star Coins had to be paid.


    To this, Li Yuan had no objections.


    The more he learned, the more he understood that the strength of an entire civilization depends on the contributions of each individual¡­ The stronger the individual, the greater their contribution must be in order to make the civilization ever stronger.


    Moreover, as far as Li Yuan knew, powerful martial artists who wanted to learn powerful secret techniques from the Martial Hall or wanted certain privileges from the Alliance¡­ all of these had a ¡°Merit Points¡± check involved.


    ...


    This was an invisible standard.


    Paying taxes was one way to increase Merit Points.


    The more taxes paid, the greater the contribution to the entire civilization, which was essentially like earning merits.


    For a Flying Heaven Warrior, if the amount of taxes paid was ¡®0¡¯¡­ their Merit Points would generally not amount to much, and naturally, they wouldn¡¯t be given much attention.


    What¡¯s the significance to the entire civilization if a person, regardless of their strength, can¡¯t make any contribution?


    Once the money was deposited in his account.


    Li Yuan immediately called Liu Jing, ¡°Senior Liu Jing, the spoils have been sold, and in the end, we can each share 64 million.¡±


    ¡°No problem,¡± Liu Jing replied with a smile, ¡°transfer the money to Miao Wei. There¡¯s no need to transfer my share to me. I mentioned last time that I wanted to compensate you with one billion Blue Star Coins¡­ There¡¯s still 936 million Blue Star Coins that I will transfer to you soon.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m a bit busy over here; I¡¯m hanging up.¡± After saying that, Liu Jing cut off the communication.


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and quickly transferred the other 64 million Blue Star Coins to Miao Wei¡¯s account.


    Before returning to the base, the three of them had already confirmed each other¡¯s bank accounts, and then Li Yuan turned off the light screen of his smart ring.


    Li Yuan made a quick calculation in his mind.


    ¡°All in all,¡±


    ¡°In this foray into the Flying Serpent Valley, I lost one ¡®Origin Purple Longevity Pill¡¯,¡± Li Yuan contemplated silently, ¡°but I gained a total of 1.088 billion Blue Star Coins, and two Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.¡±


    ¡°Consuming one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit helped my spiritual power break through to level 30, greatly increasing my strength, which is the biggest gain,¡± he thought.


    ¡°As for the remaining Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, according to the advice of Senior Liu Jing, it would be best to seek out Teacher Li Yang upon returning to school for help selling it, as he has channels that could help fetch a high price,¡± Li Yuan mused inwardly.


    Indeed, Li Yuan had already decided to sell the last Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit upon his return to Blue Star.


    ¡°The effect of consuming the second fruit would be much less beneficial and not worth the loss,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°It would be better to exchange it for cash and then buy other suitable Heavenly Materials Treasures.¡±


    ¡°I am about to become a Prime Warrior, and I will need to acquire life-saving items and practice Origin Power Secret Technique and Body Secret Technique, all of which require a great deal of valuable items and a substantial amount of wealth,¡± Li Yuan was very clear on this point.


    Upon becoming a Prime Warrior, many cultivation resources will have to be fought for by oneself.


    This is also why the major Martial Path academies allow Prime Warriors to ¡®apply for graduation.¡¯


    For after becoming a Prime Warrior, the schools find it difficult to provide cultivation resources on a large scale and without charge.


    One must rely on their own efforts to struggle and venture out.


    ¡°Struggling in the Star Realm and earning wealth by oneself feels exhilarating,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile, ¡°and also more free.¡±


    ¡°After returning to the country, I still need to buy a ¡®Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit¡¯ for my uncle,¡± Li Yuan always remembered this matter.


    The Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit is a Heavenly Material Treasure that Dean Hai had mentioned.


    The value of the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit is extremely high, capable of restoring my uncle¡¯s body back to its peak condition, with a normal price ranging between 10 to 20 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡­


    Having settled the spoils of war clearly,


    Li Yuan first went to the base¡¯s rest room to have a thoroughly enjoyable shower.


    He then proceeded to attend the ¡®banquet¡¯ prepared by Han Chong; he still had to give Han Chong this bit of face.


    Shortly after the banquet concluded,


    ¡°Your account¡­ has received 936 million Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan read the notification of the transfer from Liu Jing.


    With this, Li Yuan¡¯s wealth skyrocketed, exceeding 1.2 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, Han Chong, as the only remaining Prime Warrior at the outpost base, still had various duties to attend to.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, returned to the residence arranged by Han Chong.


    A huge Martial Arts Room, a rest room, a physical therapy room¡­ Everything was well-provided for.


    Standing inside the Martial Arts Room, Li Yuan felt a bit dazed as if he had returned to Kunlun Martial University again.


    ¡°Comfortable and at ease,¡± Li Yuan revealed a trace of a smile.


    Adventuring in The Wilderness, even while resting, one must always remain vigilant, with the mind constantly on edge. Only by returning to the safety of the outpost base could one relax considerably.


    ¡°Following the orders of Teacher Li and Dean Hai.¡±


    ¡°The journey through the Star Realm will last a month, and there are still more than ten days left,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°First, I will meditate at the base for a few days to completely calm my mind.¡±


    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go out and kill some creatures from the Alien Race to accumulate some Spiritual Awakening Level, and then I should be able to return to Xia Country.¡±


    ¡­


    Days passed by, one after another.


    Li Yuan stayed at the base to meditate, and although he focused on his cultivation, he could still sense the restless atmosphere of the entire base.


    Even on the third day after he returned to the base,


    he saw a massive number of Mechanical Legions emerge from the most central ¡®Star Realm Passage¡¯ of the outpost base and continuously march into The Wilderness.


    There were also a large number of transport vehicles.


    At the same time, many factories began to be constructed beside the base¡­ Without a doubt, the Alliance was pouring a vast amount of resources into the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°It looks like there¡¯s going to be some major action. Is Flying Serpent Valley really that valuable?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Immediately, Li Yuan stopped pondering and returned to his room.


    Inside the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Spear Technique,¡± ¡°Meaning of the Stellar,¡±


    ¡°Second Layer, Star Dust.¡± Li Yuan silently felt it in his heart as his Long Spear danced in his hands, almost as if it had come to life.


    ¡°Pff!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The Long Spear morphed, sweeping grandly, a series of thrusts linking together.


    Each thrust seemed like stars bursting, faintly shimmering with countless twinkling starlights.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level spiritual power.¡±


    ¡°Allows me to unite with heaven and earth at any time, in any action,¡± Li Yuan recited silently in his heart, ¡°The more I comprehend the universe, the more I can feel the vastness of its natural power.¡±


    ¡°Compared to the cosmos, an individual¡¯s power is truly insignificant. Even at the Flying Heaven Level, when compared to the starry sky measured in light years¡­ it¡¯s like dust.¡±


    ¡°This is the Mystery of Star Dust.¡±


    ¡°Yet life is brilliant, the most miraculous creation that evolves from the universe.¡± A glint shone in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°A single star may seem like dust in the cosmos, but what about when billions of stars come together?¡± S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Then, the universe itself is a sea of stars.¡±


    ¡­


    His experiences in the Mingxu Star Realm, the life-and-death struggles within the Flying Serpent Valley, had already given Li Yuan much to reflect upon.


    Now, with the essential Transformation of his spiritual power,


    his foundation had leaped up more than several-fold. In a state of calm spear practice, his heart grew more tranquil, and countless insights emerged like bamboo shoots after rain.


    When the date reached January 26th, nearly ten days after Li Yuan had returned to the outpost base,


    Inside the base¡¯s Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± Streaks of Spear Light blossomed as Li Yuan wielded his spear effortlessly, striking with force and precision.


    Although his Physical Quality was clearly not yet Second Rank, the mystery and ferocity of his spear technique would surely make any Prime Warrior watching tremble in awe.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    When the final spear thrust exploded, the Spear Light cut across the Vast Sky like a dazzling galaxy, blinding and mesmerizing.


    ¡°Finally, there¡¯s a hint of ¡®Galactic Convergence¡¯,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile and subconsciously looked toward the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡°There are still a few days left, it¡¯s time to go out and hunt some more creatures from the Alien Race.¡±


    ¡°Then, I can return to my country,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s state of mind was clear: ¡°The virtual battles of the global college Martial Path competition are approaching, and my Spear Technique can still improve.¡±


    ¡°First year, second year, third year, all can participate in the battle?¡±


    ¡°I want to see how far I can go this time, top twenty? Top ten?¡±

 Chapter 244 - 198: The Grandeur of Dean Hai

    Chapter 244: Chapter 198: The Grandeur of Dean Hai


    Before arriving at the Mingxu Star Realm, Li Yuan had exchanged information with Li Yang and knew the general situation of the global college Martial Path competition¡¯s virtual battles.


    Normally, the number of students who could achieve the Fifth Stage Skill ranged from a few as ten to nearly thirty, varying each year with an uncertain headcount.


    That¡¯s why, at the time, Li Yang said that since Li Yuan had just broken through, making it into the top twenty would be considered a success.


    Back then, Li Yuan also agreed with Li Yang¡¯s words.


    Now?


    ¡°Looking around the world, students from freshman to junior year might have a batch with Fifth Stage Skills,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shimmered with a hint of light, ¡°but transformed to the Flying Heaven Level in spiritual power? There is probably no second one.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan was very clear, going from the Second Rank to the Third Rank was an essential transformation at the Life Level, and to break through with external treasures alone? There was a chance, but it was extremely difficult.


    Normally, even when the Top Grade Origin Martial Artists consumed the ¡®Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit,¡¯ the chance for their spiritual power to transform to the Flying Heaven Level was very low.


    Li Yuan made it.


    First, this particular Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit took his spiritual power straight from level 28.4 to 29.9.


    Next was the anomaly in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and finally, it was Li Yuan¡¯s strong willpower that endured the anomaly.


    Plus a bit of luck.


    Only then did the transformation and breakthrough occur.


    ¡°Always perfectly in tune with heaven and earth, my spiritual power is now a hundred times stronger than before, which has made my Spear Technique progress very quickly. The only thing I¡¯m lacking is time,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°According to the previous schedule I found, the final battle of the virtual fights will be at the end of February.¡±


    ¡°About one more month left.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, I can advance my Spear Technique into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed with anticipation.


    Spear Technique at the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, as compared to the Initial Rank, the overall power would be significantly greater.


    ¡°Everything is going as planned.¡±


    ¡°There are four more days before leaving, before going, I might as well accumulate a bit more Spiritual Nature nutrients.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The level of Spiritual Awakening was 30.3%, still far from the upper limit of 40%.


    ¡°Where to go?¡±


    Li Yuan clicked on his smart ring to check the positions within the Mingxu Star Realm, mainly those near Base Three.


    ¡°Right here.¡±


    ¡°Demonic Insect Lair, about 700 kilometers away from the third outpost base,¡± said Li Yuan, confirming the position, ¡°Home to a bloodthirsty clan of demonic insects in great numbers, posing a significant threat to the third outpost base, and there¡¯s even suspicion of a Second Rank demonic insect being hidden there.¡±


    ¡°In the past, the third outpost base had also made several attempts to eradicate them but the environment of the Demonic Insect Lair is complex, with numerous nests, and without sending a large Mechanical Legion to raid it, extermination is difficult,¡± Li Yuan reviewed the extensive information about the Demonic Insect Lair, ¡°Also, it¡¯s a fair distance from the outpost base.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, they gave up on clearing them out and only left a Number 14 observation post on the periphery.¡±


    Li Yuan showed a slight smile.


    A complex lair environment? His powerful spiritual power and astonishing Perception Ability made him the least afraid of complex environments.


    A large number? He desired nothing more than a multitude.


    ¡°Before leaving,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll try to resolve as many troubles for the outpost base as possible, killing off as many demonic insects as I can,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°After all, who knows how long it¡¯ll be before I can return once I leave.¡±


    After this return, he would surely rapidly break through to become a Martial Artist, and unless the Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s gateway expanded to the ¡®Second Level Star Realm,¡¯ he would never be able to return.


    One hour later.


    Fully armed, Li Yuan left the third outpost base and headed to the Demonic Insect Lair alone.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan headed to the Demonic Insect Lair for his final trial before leaving the Star Realm,


    In Xia Country, at Kunlun Martial University, it was daytime, with chilling winds and the land covered in snow.


    Within the depths of the Sixth Institute¡¯s villa district, amidst the ice and snow,


    Whoosh!


    Braving the snow, Li Yang transformed into a streak of light, flitting between the villas, spotting Dean Hai fishing by the lake from afar.


    A windbreak, thick overcoat, a little furnace¡­ plus a few attendants providing service.


    ¡°That old Hai really knows how to live it up,¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but grumble to himself.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yang landed softly on the snowy ground and walked towards Dean Hai, respect evident in his voice, ¡°Dean Hai.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve arrived?¡± Dean Hai didn¡¯t even lift his eyes, replying indifferently, ¡°You said you had an important report about Li Yuan? What¡¯s it about? I remember his trial in the Star Realm is almost over, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Li Yang said earnestly, ¡°It¡¯s almost over. According to the plan, he should be returning from the Mingxu Star Realm within five days. You must have heard about the discovery of the ¡®Origin Crystal Vein¡¯ in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Um¡­¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes flickered with confusion, but he kept a straight face, ¡°I know.¡±


    ¡°Good, then I¡¯ll make it short,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°Li Yuan is the first discoverer of this vein, the main official of Mingxu Star Realm is my schoolmate. He was preoccupied with the big battle against the Tianliang Clan base and didn¡¯t have the chance to report¡­ only today has Li Yuan¡¯s trial score, process, and evaluation been sent back.¡±


    ¡°Oh? What evaluation?¡± Dean Hai asked.


    ¡°150 points,¡± Li Yang said with gravity.


    ¡°150?¡± Finally, Dean Hai turned his head, a flash of surprise in his eyes.


    Normally, scoring 80 points in a life-and-death trial was considered good.


    150 points? That meant all the hidden scores were also full marks, indicating a performance beyond exemplary.


    Normally, the evaluating officer would not give such full praise.


    ¡°Just as Li Yuan arrived¡­¡± Li Yang immediately started to relay in detail Li Yuan¡¯s entire journey in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    When Dean Hai initially listened, he was quite nonchalant, but when he heard Li Yuan reached level 19,


    He paused, turning with doubt and asking, ¡°Are you sure? Level 19? Wasn¡¯t he just at 16.5? Even with a month gone by, he should be at most level 17.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s level 19, no mistake,¡± Li Yang nodded firmly, ¡°But that¡¯s not the main point.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not the main point?¡± Dean Hai restrained himself, listening patiently.

 Chapter 245 - 198: The Grandeur of Dean Hai_2

    Chapter 245: Chapter 198: The Grandeur of Dean Hai_2


    When Dean Hai heard that Li Yuan and Liu Jing had teamed up to battle the three Second Rank elites from Flying Serpent Valley for the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, a trace of shock had already crept into his heart.


    A freshman, achieving this much?


    He was just supposed to be on a life-or-death adventure, so how did it sound like he had also become a top combat power at the outpost base?


    And then, when Li Yang reported ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power has broken through to the Flying Heaven level.¡±


    Dean Hai was completely astonished, ¡°This Liu Jing isn¡¯t writing nonsense, is he? Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power has reached the Flying Heaven level? He ate a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit and reached the Flying Heaven level?¡±


    ¡°Dean, at first I thought Liu Jing was drunk,¡± Li Yang also said with a wry smile, ¡°But I asked repeatedly, it¡¯s true¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Shock, even the spiritual power of a top-grade Prime Warrior like Liu Jing couldn¡¯t withstand it, they would be briefly stunned.¡±


    ...


    Dean Hai was astounded in his heart, that strong?


    Later, when he heard that Li Yuan and Liu Jing had battled the three great masters from the Tianliang Clan, Dean Hai even felt a bit numb.


    If the spiritual power had reached the Flying Heaven level, this sort of performance wasn¡¯t so surprising anymore.


    ¡°Dean, what should we do?¡± Li Yang asked at the right moment.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to do anything,¡± Dean Hai had regained his composure, ¡°It¡¯s just Flying Heaven level spiritual power, what¡¯s so rare about it? Every Flying Heaven Warrior has it.¡±


    Li Yang was stunned for a moment.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Dean Hai shook his head, ¡°After all, you¡¯re the vice dean, is there any need to be so panicked?¡±


    Li Yang felt even more speechless inside, but still nodded obediently, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°You go to Jiangnan Province and bring Li Yuan back,¡± Dean Hai suddenly said.


    ¡°Me go to pick him up again?¡± Li Yang was taken aback.


    So he¡¯s become an errand boy?


    ¡°After you get there, first verify whether the report is true, and second, make sure you bring Li Yuan back to school safely,¡± Dean Hai glanced at Li Yang, ¡°If anything happens to Li Yuan, you can stop being the vice dean.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yang said gravely, fully understanding Dean Hai¡¯s intentions now.


    Li Yuan was too important.


    If the report is real? Such talent, in the entire history of Kunlun Martial University, could be considered top-tier.


    ¡°Go on, don¡¯t bother me with my fishing,¡± Dean Hai waved his hand and continued to lie in his chair, his gaze fixed on the lake surface, looking very much the part of a high-level expert.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go prepare right away, setting off for Jiangnan Province the day after tomorrow.¡± Li Yang nodded respectfully and quickly left.


    Some time passed.


    Several attendants were preparing fruits by the side.


    ¡°Is he far enough away?¡± Dean Hai asked lightly.


    The attendants were taken aback, but it was one of the experienced attendants who quickly replied, ¡°Dean, Vice Dean Li has long been far away.¡±


    ¡°Damn, how can it be this monstrous, spiritual power already at the Flying Heaven level?¡± Dean Hai suddenly jumped up, muttering to himself.


    He flung the fishing rod in his hand and his figure swiftly shot into a distant villa room.


    Leaving several attendants looking at each other bewildered.


    They were new.


    In their minds, a Flying Heaven Warrior should be detached from worldly affairs, truly having the demeanor of a high-level expert.


    ¡°You¡¯ll get used to it,¡± the only old attendant said with a smile, cleaving a fruit in half with a decisive chop.


    ¡°These Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°They are people too!¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the villa, on the large sofa.


    ¡°So, that¡¯s the situation with Li Yuan.¡±


    Dean Hai spoke into the communicator, ¡°Flying Heaven level spiritual power, eh? And to think he is so young, with a 19th level Physical Quality¡­ Old Fang, you have to take good care of him.¡±


    ¡°I have been dean for decades, this is the best seedling.¡±


    ¡°It could also be called the best seedling for your twenty years as a headmaster,¡± Dean Hai prattled on, ¡°If you don¡¯t cultivate him well, I won¡¯t be pleased.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± a faint voice came through the communicator, ¡°Wait for Li Yang to fully verify it, then let me know, and I will reconsider it, I¡¯m busy now.¡±


    Beep¡ªthe communication was cut off.


    ¡°You¡ª¡± Dean Hai, who was about to continue speaking, paused for several seconds and suddenly burst out, ¡°Damn, acting more aloof than me.¡±


    ¡­


    Two days later, Li Yang boarded a large flying transport heading towards Jiangnan Province.


    ¡­


    January 29.


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, the outer sky was like daylight, but within the Demonic Insect Lair, it was dim, even dark.


    Deep within the crevice that stretched for more than ten miles.


    About 800 meters from the surface, nearly no sunlight penetrated, incredibly damp.


    On both sides of the crack, there lay hundreds of demonic insect corpses, each one killed by a blow to the head.


    An utterly brutal scene.


    ¡°You¡¯ve finally come out.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect there to really be a Second Rank demon insect here,¡± the figure shrouded in pitch-black battle garments, holding a long spear, said indifferently, ¡°My trip here wasn¡¯t in vain.¡±


    ¡°Tch¡±


    ¡°Tch~¡± A hundred meters away, a giant figure resembling an enlarged mantis lay prone, its height over two meters, much taller than an ordinary person.


    Its body length exceeded five meters.


    Most striking were its four blade-like terrifying front claws, which had slaughtered countless creatures.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The Second Rank demon insect¡¯s eyes were fixed on the figure with the spear, filled with countless fires of rage ready to pour out.


    It truly did not want to come out; for the past two days, it had been secretly directing insects to besiege this outsider.


    But!


    The opponent was too powerful, seemingly able to predict every move, rendering any ambush ineffective, as one First Rank demon insect after another fell.


    The casualties were heavy. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In just a few days, over a thousand demon insects had died at the hands of the opponent.


    Most importantly, in this impossibly complex lair, the opponent was able to easily find safe and correct passages¡­ and now had approached the final hive.


    It had no choice; the Second Rank demon insect had to come out.


    If it allowed the slaughter to continue, the hive might well be destroyed.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    With a low growl, the Second Rank demon insect violently flapped its wings, its hind limbs powering up, its colossal body transforming into a streak of light as it pounced towards Li Yuan.


    Four claws, like four terrifying blades, swept continuously toward him.


    ¡°That¡¯s more like it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, as his vigor circulated throughout his body.


    A complete explosion of force.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± Time and again, with lightning-like collisions, Li Yuan¡¯s long spear flowed majestically, immovable as the stars, easily blocking the Second Rank demon insect¡¯s repeated attacks.


    In terms of strength and speed, Li Yuan was far weaker than his opponent.


    In terms of the number of weapons, he was also at a disadvantage.


    But with his strong skills and movement techniques, Li Yuan managed to block the Second Rank demon insect¡¯s mad attacks, again and again.


    ¡°Exhilarating!¡±


    ¡°Faster! Steadier! Heavier!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes seemed aflame with passion, his fighting spirit soaring to the skies.


    This Second Rank demon insect had a physical quality as high as level 22.2.


    Just in terms of the degree of threat, it was even greater than the Second Rank Flying Serpent that Li Yuan had previously killed.


    But compared to half a month ago, Li Yuan¡¯s strength had also grown much stronger.


    Rapidly, the two sides fought for hundreds of rounds, with extreme intensity.


    ¡°Enough.¡±


    ¡°Four sharp claws, like four continuous combat sabers, presented an oppressive sensation. Truly born for battle,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°If this fight dragged on, I might not necessarily win.¡±


    ¡°Too bad.¡±


    Boom! Li Yuan¡¯s eyes condensed with depth, a vast surge of energy suddenly burst forth.


    Like a river rushing, it violently struck the consciousness of the Second Rank demon insect.


    The secret spiritual technique ¡°Soul Shock¡± hit it hard, stupefying it.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s spear suddenly erupted, executing the second form of the Stellar Spear Technique¡ªthe Twelve Continuous Strikes of the Galaxy Waterfall.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One spear following another, the tide-like assault suddenly broke through the spaces between the creature¡¯s claws and hammered down onto the Second Rank demon insect¡¯s head¡­ Curved yellow strands of Origin Power circulated, displaying incredible toughness.


    By the time Li Yuan thrust his sixth spear,


    The Second Rank demon insect finally regained consciousness, a hint of terror flashing in its eyes, feeling waves of severe pain sweeping through its body, just as it tried to retreat explosively.


    ¡°Puchi!¡±


    The long spear, like a meteor, plunged relentlessly in, blood splattering.


    No matter how tough the Origin Power was, it could not match the Origin Power Battle Suit, nor could it withstand six consecutive spear thrusts by Li Yuan at the same point.


    Hush! The spear pierced through and was immediately withdrawn.


    Li Yuan, holding his spear, swiftly backed away, watching the Second Rank demon insect warily to guard against a dying counterattack.


    ¡°[You have killed a Second Rank creature, obtained spiritual nutrients, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has increased to 37.3%]¡± a Divine Palace reminder flashed past.


    ¡­


    An hour later.


    Li Yuan, who had ransacked the Demonic Insect Lair¡¯s ¡®hive¡¯ thoroughly,


    climbed out of the lair¡¯s crack with a large backpack, his face covered in dust.


    ¡°Time to head home,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were bright as he strode towards the number three outpost base.

 Chapter 246 - 199: Return to Xia Country (Extra 10)

    Chapter 246: Chapter 199: Return to Xia Country (Extra 10)


    Outpost Base Three, Sixth Floor, Appraisal Room.


    ¡°Tsk, tsk.¡±


    ¡°Bloodthirsty matriarch¡¯s larval eggs? Truly a treasure, a treasure,¡± the elderly appraiser said excitedly as he gazed at the several basketball-sized insect eggs in front of him.


    The other younger appraisers were also quite surprised; they rarely saw their master this excited.


    ¡°Master, we¡¯ve collected some of these eggs before, haven¡¯t we?¡± a young appraiser couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°What do you know?¡±


    ...


    ¡°The ones we¡¯ve collected before were from unranked matriarchs, of very average value, and the larvae they breed aren¡¯t worth much,¡± the elderly appraiser shook his head. ¡°But this egg here is of the first rank, with an extraordinarily astonishing value.¡±


    ¡°If cultivated with care, it could continuously give birth to incredibly powerful demonic insects.¡±


    Li Yuan watched this scene indifferently, yet he was quite astonished in his heart.


    He had indeed penetrated into the enemy¡¯s nest.


    He had killed several matriarchs.


    And in the end, he found this yet-to-be-fully-hatched egg, though Li Yuan hadn¡¯t harbored much hope for it.


    Now it seemed, was this thing exceptionally valuable?


    ¡°Warrior Xu An, we have had dealings before.¡± The elderly appraiser looked at Li Yuan. ¡°This egg is very valuable. I am willing to offer three hundred million Blue Star Coins to purchase it, and that¡¯s a very generous price.¡±


    ¡°Wait a moment,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently, bending his head to check his intelligent wristband and began searching in the database.


    After a while, Li Yuan looked up again and showed a smile, ¡°Alright, three hundred million Blue Star Coins it is.¡±


    ¡°These four claws from a second rank demonic insect and these small trinkets¡­ let¡¯s call it twenty million Blue Star Coins in total,¡± the elderly appraiser continued. ¡°That brings it to a total of three hundred and twenty million Blue Star Coins for you.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan nodded, already quite satisfied in his heart.


    Initially, his aim was to accumulate some spiritual nourishment and perhaps earn ten to twenty million. He hadn¡¯t expected to strike it big all of a sudden.


    In the end,


    After deducting sixty-four million in taxes, Li Yuan¡¯s bank account received another two hundred and fifty-six million Blue Star Coins.


    Of course, Li Yuan understood that such precious first-rank matriarch eggs were hard to come by, as was that second-rank demonic insect.


    It seemed he earned a lot this time.


    But that was because he had been adventuring within a thousand kilometers around the base. If he had gone beyond a thousand kilometers¡­ it would be very easy to encounter various accidents, such as coming across a level 29 alien?


    Or even a Flying Heaven Level alien?


    Living on the edge, teetering on the brink of life and death, brought high risks accompanied by high rewards.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu An sold a first-rank matriarch egg and some materials from a second-rank demonic insect?¡± As the person in charge of the base, Han Chong soon heard the news and was somewhat shocked. ¡°A nineteenth level first-rank martial artist actually managed to annihilate the Demonic Insect Lair by himself?¡±


    ¡°How formidable?¡±


    The intelligence on the Demonic Insect Lair was clear. Before this, both Han Chong and Miao Wei had attempted to eliminate it but failed.


    ¡°Truly monstrous,¡± Han Chong mutely said, as Li Yuan¡¯s image in his heart grew increasingly mysterious.


    ¡­


    In the break room, Li Yuan had just finished taking a shower, feeling refreshingly pain-free, and was in the middle of a communication.


    ¡°Senior Liu,¡± Li Yuan smiled as he looked at the projected image of Liu Jing in the light screen.


    Considering the background of the projection.


    So many days had passed, and it seemed that the Seven Stars human civilization had already established a small base in Flying Serpent Valley.


    ¡°Ready to leave?¡± Liu Jing asked with a smile.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°I am planning to leave today, so I thought I should drop you a message before departing. It¡¯s a shame I cannot say goodbye in person.¡±


    Li Yuan had tremendous respect and trust for Liu Jing.


    Today they part, and they might not meet again in this life.


    ¡°Haha, that doesn¡¯t sound like the Li Yuan I know,¡± Liu Jing laughed. ¡°You were so resolute and decisive in your battle with the Flying Serpent and even when fighting the strong members of the Tianliang Clan. How come you¡¯ve become sentimental now?¡±


    ¡°That was towards alien races,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I should be the one thanking you,¡± Liu Jing said earnestly. ¡°Without you, we probably still wouldn¡¯t have discovered Flying Serpent Valley. Also, I just heard¡­ you helped eliminate the Demonic Insect Lair too.¡±


    ¡°It was a minor matter,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°With your Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, you could resolve it so effortlessly. If it were any other Prime Warrior, even I would have trouble doing it. Don¡¯t be modest,¡± Liu Jing laughed. ¡°You¡¯ve relieved Outpost Base Three of a major headache.¡±


    ¡°These actions will certainly count towards your achievements. Once you return, I will make a detailed report of your contributions to the Mingxu Star Realm and submit it to the alliance,¡± Liu Jing said solemnly. ¡°It should help to elevate your rank of merit.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, senior,¡± Li Yuan said, quite grateful.


    He already had a First Rank Silver Quality Medal of Merit. If he were to be promoted further, that would lead to a Metal Quality Merit¡­ Moving from Silver Quality to Metal Quality is extremely difficult.


    Most ordinary Prime Warriors, if not adventuring in life and death situations for years or having made significant contributions to the alliance, wouldn¡¯t possess a Metal Quality Medal of Merit.


    Thus, one can imagine the magnitude of Li Yuan¡¯s accomplishments in the Mingxu Star Realm over this month.


    If he were to be upgraded to Metal Quality Merit,


    Even if it is just Third Class, that would come with many privileges.


    ¡°It¡¯s only right to award a medal for service to the entire civilization,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile. ¡°By the way, there¡¯s one more thing, I haven¡¯t told you yet. We just discovered a small spiritual crystal vein at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley¡­ and I¡¯ve listed you as the primary discoverer.¡±


    ¡°A small spiritual crystal vein? The primary discoverer?¡± Li Yuan, with his extensive knowledge, instantly realized the significance. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re too¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t refuse.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s what you deserve,¡± Liu Jing said with a firm look in his eyes. ¡°Besides, the report has already gone up and has been approved. You¡¯re too late to decline.¡± S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Alright then,¡± Li Yuan said, slightly helpless.


    ¡°Yes, but this spiritual crystal vein, the Tianliang Clan probably knows about it too¡­ The war will continue for a while, until we fully occupy it and start mining,¡± Liu Jing said. ¡°At that time, the alliance will conduct a thorough appraisal of the vein¡¯s value before administering rewards.¡±


    ¡°As the primary discoverer, I estimate the reward won¡¯t be small. I conservatively guess it¡¯s around one billion Blue Star Coins, but you¡¯ll need to be patient for a while.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded. He wasn¡¯t in immediate need of money for the time being.


    ¡°That¡¯s all for now, you should start your journey early,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile. ¡°I hope one day in the future, I¡¯ll hear news of your success in reaching Flying Heaven Level or even surpassing it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take your good words, senior,¡± Li Yuan laughed. ¡°If you ever need my help in the Mingxu Star Realm in the future, please let me know, and I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    This was a promise from Li Yuan.


    In the future, if Li Yuan were to grow into a high-ranking figure within Xia Country or even the entire human civilization, the value of this promise would be immeasurable.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡­


    After hanging up the communication with Liu Jing.


    Neither Li Yuan nor Liu Jing implicitly said ¡®goodbye.¡¯


    ¡®Goodbye¡¯ would mean that Mingxu Star Realm had been upgraded to a ¡®Second Level Star Realm,¡¯ and that might not necessarily be a good thing for the whole Xia Country or human civilization.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Yuan stood by the window, taking one last look at the mountains outside and the two suns in the sky.


    He turned and walked out of the room.


    ¡­


    ¡°Sister.¡± Li Yuan arrived at the underground train station deep within the base and saw the slim figure of ¡®Shi Xiao¡¯ waiting in the distance.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to return to school,¡± Shi Xiao said with a smile, her eyes sparkling and a faint killing intent surrounding her.


    Her walking brought a faint breeze.


    A month of life-and-death experiences might not have helped her as much as Li Yuan, but it was still considerable tempering.


    This was the normal path for Martial Path elites; passing through repeated combat assessments before level 15, then starting life-and-death adventures after¡­ by the time they became level 20 Prime Warriors, after many trials, they would be capable of standing on their own.


    Clang~


    The train started, and Li Yuan and Shi Xiao embarked on the road home.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan set out on his return journey, in a civilization area of space-time completely different from the Seven Star Sea,


    a lush and huge star shone with beauty.


    This was the heart of Tianliang Civilization¡ªTianliang Star.


    The planet was extremely beautiful, with numerous cities and highly advanced technology, inhabited by hundreds of billions.


    Today.


    Inside ¡®Administrative City No. 9¡¯ on Tianliang Star, within a skyscraper soaring a kilometer high.


    On the 89th floor, in a large conference room, three powerful beings emanating an astonishing presence sat at the head of the room, listening to reports from a group below.


    ¡°Regarding Mingxu Star Realm, we agree to the outpost base¡¯s application to double the existing support,¡± a woman in purple spoke indifferently.


    ¡°Additionally, immediately dispatch 15 Martial Artists on the verge of breaking through level 19¡­ send them into Mingxu Star Realm. We must seize this vein of prime crystal.¡±


    ¡°Do not fear wasting effort.¡±


    ¡°The Ming Mountain in Mingxu Star Realm holds great secrets. However, limited by our power, we can only wait.¡±


    ¡°If one of these Prime Warriors manages to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, they can venture into Ming Mountain to uncover its mysteries. If successful, it will bring great benefits to our Tianliang Civilization,¡± the woman in purple continued.


    ¡°Agreed.¡±


    ¡°Proceed with this plan,¡± the other two powerful beings concurred.


    Sending a group of Prime Warriors was but a minor affair.


    What were a dozen Prime Warriors to an entire civilization?


    ¡°Furthermore,¡±


    ¡°For the SSS-grade talent requesting an Inquiry into Mingxu Star Realm, pass the information through Wanhan Star Realm to the organization lurking within the Seven Stars human civilization, and have them carry out the investigation,¡± the woman in purple spoke lightly. ¡°Once the identity is confirmed, begin organizing the assassination.¡±


    ¡°Also, pass this message to the ¡®Cloud Beast Civilization.''¡±


    ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization has always been at war with the ¡®Xia Country¡¯ of the Seven Stars human civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm. If this mysterious talent truly hails from Xia Country¡­ the Cloud Beast Civilization will be interested.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait.¡±


    ¡°Such Martial Path talents are likely to venture into Rob Sea Star Realm, Wanhan Star Realm, in the future.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan was unaware of the actions Tianliang Civilization had launched against him.


    Even if he had known, he wouldn¡¯t have cared.


    Assassination? How many geniuses in the history of the Seven Stars human civilization had grown up safely?


    Time passed.


    An hour after departing from Base Three, Li Yuan and Shi Xiao crossed the Star Realm portal and returned to the long-missed Xia Country.


    Stepping out of the war base¡¯s gateway,


    the winter sun¡¯s warmth fell on them, comforting Li Yuan.


    ¡°Upon leaving, there was a light drizzle,¡± Li Yuan commented with a smile. ¡°But now that we¡¯ve returned, it¡¯s a clear and sunny day.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Shi Xiao replied, a smile on her face. ¡°The feeling of coming home is wonderful.¡±


    Li Yuan felt an earnest sense of comfort and relaxation as he stepped onto the soil of Xia Country once more¡ªIllusion or not, it was something he could never have in Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡®Li Jing and the others,¡¯ Li Yuan thought respectfully, admiring those Prime Warriors who were willing to sacrifice.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Li Yuan, Shi Xiao,¡± a deep voice suddenly rose from nearby.


    Both turned, surprise flashing in their eyes.


    ¡°Teacher?¡±


    ¡°Teacher Li Yang,¡± both Li Yuan and Shi Xiao couldn¡¯t help but smile as the one approaching was their shared instructor, ¡®Li Yang.¡¯


    ¡°Surprised to see me?¡± Li Yang said with a smile. ¡°Shi Xiao, wait here for a moment; I need to speak privately with Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Shi Xiao nodded, guessing that Li Yang had come for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come with me.¡± Li Yang headed towards a nearby conference room.


    Li Yuan nodded, about to follow when he suddenly paused.


    Because,


    as his gaze swept over a figure descending from a flying vehicle not far away, he instinctively used his Divine Palace Inquiry.


    ¡°[Target individual, Life Level 19.4, elimination yields Spiritual Nature nourishment]¡±

 Chapter 247 - 200 Martial God Inheritance

    Chapter 247: Chapter 200 Martial God Inheritance


    ¡°Killing can provide spiritual nourishment?¡± Li Yuan was first stunned, suspecting he had read it wrong.


    Without hesitation, Li Yuan once again performed the Divine Palace Inquiry, and the display was still correct.


    Alien Race! These two words flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind instantly.


    Li Yuan had thought about this issue, that only by killing members of the Alien Race could one obtain spiritual nourishment.


    Then, could he use Divine Palace Inquiry to identify members of the Alien Race lurking inside civilization?


    Li Yuan had only heard of spies from the Alien Race.


    Since his spiritual power broke through level 20, the burden of performing Divine Palace Inquiry had lessened a lot, and he had formed the habit of using it on any significant individuals he met.


    ...


    It was a pity that he had never encountered an Alien Race spy all this while.


    Once his spiritual power broke through level 30, performing Divine Palace Inquiry hundreds of times a day was not much of an issue, so he became even more accustomed to it.


    Unexpectedly,


    right after he returned from the Mingxu Star Realm and hadn¡¯t completely left the war base, he encountered one!


    But looking at the man who jumped down from the flying vehicle, his attire, appearance, etc., there was no difference between him and the group of people around.


    ¡°Is he really an Alien Race spy?¡± A hint of doubt crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind, as he could not tell from the appearance alone.


    The most crucial point was that Divine Palace Inquiry had always followed the rule that ¡°killing the Alien Race could obtain spiritual nourishment¡±¡­ but it was not a hundred percent confirmation.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Yang, who was walking ahead, noticed Li Yuan¡¯s abnormality.


    ¡°Junior Brother, whom are you looking at?¡± Shi Xiao also sensed something.


    ¡°No.¡± Li Yuan shook his head indifferently and looked into the distance, ¡°I just feel that the man in the leather jacket has a strange spiritual aura¡­ it makes me feel uncomfortable.¡±


    ¡°Strange?¡± Shi Xiao was puzzled.


    ¡°Uncomfortable?¡± Li Yang was shocked. He knew that Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was most likely at the Flying Heaven Level, and his perception ability was terrifying.


    The things that Flying Heaven Level spiritual power could perceive were not to be understood by common sense.


    ¡°How uncomfortable?¡± Li Yang asked.


    ¡°Teacher, you should know that I have fought with many strong members of the Tianliang Clan in the Star Realm.¡± Li Yuan spoke readily, ¡°This person¡­ just gives me a feeling of being somewhat similar.¡±


    ¡°Tianliang Clan?¡± A hint of murderous intent flitted across Li Yang¡¯s eyes, as he had a deep understanding of this Alien Civilization.


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s just a feeling of discomfort, I can¡¯t confirm anything,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°You should know, my perception is very acute.¡±


    This was the excuse Li Yuan had thought out.


    First, he couldn¡¯t expose the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and second, Divine Palace Inquiry alone couldn¡¯t confirm the person¡¯s identity as a spy, let alone serve as evidence.


    What reason then? Intuition!


    As a Martial Path genius with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, Li Yuan¡¯s intuition was evidence in itself.


    ¡°Okay, I understand,¡± Li Yang nodded gravely, ¡°I will have him closely watched right away, wait for me.¡±


    Saying this, Li Yang had already beckoned over and promptly summoned several Martial Artist officers.


    Li Yang quickly explained the reason.


    Naturally, Li Yang used other reasons, as he didn¡¯t want to involve Li Yuan.


    ¡°Understood, President Li.¡±


    This Martial Artist officer wearing the rank of ¡®Major¡¯ said solemnly, ¡°I have just reviewed the data; that person is a warriro from the Starry Sky Martial Hall, who had recently applied to enter the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ We will closely monitor him.¡±


    The reason given by Li Yang was far-fetched, considering Li Yang didn¡¯t even recognize the person.


    But as a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist and a Vice President of Kunlun Martial University.


    When Li Yang suspected a First Rank Martial Artist was a spy of the Alien Race.


    That was the greatest reason and evidence.


    ¡°What about the others? Have a look.¡± Li Yuan was nonchalant, not interrupting the conversation, but continuously performing Divine Palace Inquiry, checking the other people he saw.


    Everyone appeared normal to his eye, only that man in the leather jacket showed an anomaly.


    Soon, the group of Martial Artist officers scattered as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°Li Yuan, let¡¯s go,¡± Li Yang whispered, ¡°The military will start close surveillance on him from today, examining his many connections, past experiences, previous network communications, etc¡­ If he is indeed an Alien Race spy, he will sooner or later show some telltale signs, and we may even be able to root out a whole bunch of people by following the trail.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Encountering such an Alien Race spy, it was not best to apprehend them immediately.


    Instead, it was better to clarify the entire spy network behind him and then aim to catch them all at once.


    As for proactively checking more people?


    ¡°Not to mention that I can¡¯t expose the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.¡± S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Even if I did and the alliance¡¯s high ranks believed that checking hundreds a day wouldn¡¯t affect me, but what about thousands? Tens of thousands?¡± Li Yuan secretly sighed, ¡°If I were to inspect day and night, I could perhaps check up to a few million people in a year.¡±


    How many people are in the whole Seven Star Alliance? Almost two hundred billion!!


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t complete the check in ten lifetimes.


    Furthermore, as far as Li Yuan knew, the vast majority of spies were ¡®traitors¡¯ who sold out their civilization for their own benefit¡ªtraitors that Divine Palace Inquiry could not detect.


    The actual members of the Alien Race who had infiltrated and were living within human civilization were still very few.


    ¡°Better to focus on cultivation.¡±


    ¡°If I truly want to perform comprehensive screening, wait until my spiritual power surpasses the Flying Heaven Level, when the efficiency would be at least a hundred times higher,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°From now on, whoever I meet, I¡¯ll just take a casual look.¡±


    The small number of Alien Race spies infiltrating the realm couldn¡¯t affect the entire civilization.


    But if a being surpassing the Flying Heaven Level were to emerge, it would be of greater importance to the entire Seven Star human civilization.


    ¡°To help the entire civilization, I must first protect myself,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°With my reputation growing bigger, who knows, I might even provoke assassination attempts by the Alien Race.¡±


    ¡°From now on, I will perform Divine Palace Inquiry on every person who gets close to me, to prevent any unforeseen incidents,¡± Li Yuan was very cautious.

 Chapter 248 - 200 Martial God Inheritance_2

    Chapter 248: Chapter 200 Martial God Inheritance_2


    In life-and-death trials, engaging in dangerous activities is unavoidable.


    But in everyday life, it¡¯s essential to evade any avoidable danger.


    ¡­Following Li Yang into the conference room, the door slowly closed behind them.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Li Yang¡¯s voice suddenly resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, as though whispering in his ear.


    ¡°Telepathic Communication?¡± A glint flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he telepathically responded, ¡°Teacher.¡±


    With Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, Telepathic Communication is an instinct, no learning required.


    ...


    However, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists must learn corresponding Spiritual Secret Techniques to barely manage it.


    ¡°It seems Liu Jing¡¯s report wasn¡¯t wrong; your spiritual power has indeed become extremely strong,¡± Li Yang conveyed with a hint of emotion, ¡°This is a military base, not a school. Be cautious, and let¡¯s communicate via telepathy.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded in response.


    Quickly, Li Yang briefed Li Yuan on the gist of Liu Jing¡¯s report.


    ¡°150 points?¡± Li Yuan was surprised to hear this total score.


    He understood the significance of this score.


    It could be said, this rating was Liu Jing staking his own ¡®reputation.¡¯


    ¡°You have Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, and I need to confirm it; merely one telepathic message isn¡¯t enough,¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°Liu Jing mentioned, your Spiritual Attacks are very strong¡­ Try to use one on me.¡±


    ¡°Be careful, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan said without holding back, his eyes narrowing and becoming exceptionally cold.


    Boom! A powerful Spiritual Shock surged toward Li Yang like a torrent.


    But immediately afterward, the confident Li Yuan felt as though he had encountered a solid dam; despite the frenzied battering, he couldn¡¯t completely shake it. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Teacher, can you withstand it?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice carried a trace of surprise.


    ¡°Impressive, it is indeed Flying Heaven Level spiritual power,¡± Li Yang was inwardly shocked but smiled, ¡°Are you surprised that I didn¡¯t lose my senses completely?¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    ¡°In terms of quality and quantity, spiritual power of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists indeed pales in comparison to Flying Heaven Level,¡± Li Yang spoke with a smile, ¡°But if we¡¯re willing to spend a great deal of time cultivating some Spiritual Secret Techniques, condensing our Spiritual Will, and merging with the heavens and earth over a long period¡­ then, when we¡¯re hit by a Spiritual Shock, even if our strength is affected, maintaining lucidity is not difficult.¡±


    ¡°Unless your Spiritual Shock is stronger.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    Spiritual Shock, after all, invades the opponent¡¯s inner world, their home field.


    Although Liu Jing¡¯s spiritual power had reached the level of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, his skills, willpower, and Spiritual Secret Techniques were somewhat lacking in comparison to other Top Grade Origin Martial Artists.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned in his heart.


    Facing a formidable expert like Teacher Li Yang, even if the Spiritual Shock were successful, it would at best distract the opponent momentarily.


    In a fight to the death, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists could still easily kill him.


    A Spiritual Attack, after all, is supplementary.


    ¡°At eighteen and a half, with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, 19th Rank Physical Quality, and Fifth Stage Skill, your growth rate truly exceeds my imagination,¡± Li Yang said as he gazed at Li Yuan, his delighted eyes also carrying a hint of complexity.


    Half a year ago, when Li Yang first saw Li Yuan in Jiang City, he was just a high school senior with decent talent.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Li Yuan had surpassed him in spiritual power and was gradually closing in on him in terms of skill¡­ Physical quality? Rapid progress, becoming a Prime Warrior is imminent, soon to catch up.


    As for Law Creation?


    In Li Yang¡¯s view, for someone like Li Yuan, creating Laws was a trivial matter.


    ¡°The stronger I become, doesn¡¯t that prove the excellence of your teaching, Teacher?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Haha, indeed,¡± Li Yang laughed.


    He had taught many students over the years.


    But in terms of overall performance, the most prodigious, indeed, had to be Li Yuan, with just over half a year of schooling.


    ¡°My mission this time in coming to get you is twofold: first, by Dean Hai¡¯s command, to examine whether your spiritual power is at the Flying Heaven Level,¡± Li Yang began, ¡°The second is to protect you. Given the potential you¡¯ve now shown, which is faintly above that of Yu Jinghe¡­ if the Alien Race learns of this, they will certainly organize an assassination, and your strength is still too weak.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The arrangements of the Alliance¡¯s upper echelons are quite thorough.


    ¡°Thirdly, it¡¯s about the ¡®Virtual Battle¡¯ in the upcoming worldwide Martial Arts University competition,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Previously, I had the highest expectation that you might make it into the top twenty. Now, it seems that might not be the limit. Flying Heaven Level spiritual power will cause the advancement of your Spear Technique and movement technique to skyrocket¡­ I can no longer guess how far you¡¯ll go.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Virtual Battles don¡¯t allow the use of spiritual power; otherwise, one Spiritual Shock from you would assure first place,¡± Li Yang said with a hint of regret.


    Li Yuan was listening.


    ¡°But do your best to push,¡± Li Yang said solemnly, ¡°and strive to break into the top five or even the top three, to compete for the best Feixing slots.¡±


    ¡°Historically, the top three in the virtual battle will be given Feixing slots, and then some more outstanding students will be selected from the top hundred.¡±


    ¡°Feixing slots?¡± A flicker of confusion passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    What is this?


    I¡¯ve never heard of that!


    ¡°It seems you¡¯ve never heard of it,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Feixing slot is our colloquial term, its full name is ¡®Seven Stars Martial God Inheritance Slot¡¯, led by the Seven Stars Alliance. Legend has it that it¡¯s an inheritance created collectively by Dongfang Ji, Lant, and other beings transcending the Flying Heaven level¡­¡±


    ¡°It is the most powerful martial path inheritance within our Seven Stars human civilization.¡±


    ¡°Because the location is on the distant Feixing, we colloquially call it the Feixing slot.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath, for just the name alone conveyed the incredible strength of this martial path inheritance.


    It is definitely the civilization¡¯s most top-grade inheritance.


    ¡°Each year, only the most elite batch of geniuses from the Seven Great Planets are qualified to receive Feixing slots,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Our Blue Star produces about ten of them every year.¡±


    ¡°Aside from the Global University Martial Arts Competition where people are selected, there is also the selection from the Human Martial Arts Elite Battle¡­ For 25 to 30-year-old graduates, occasionally one or two geniuses with long preparedness and sudden success will emerge, and adding them all up, there are about over a dozen.¡±


    ¡°In any case, as long as you are under 30 and yet to reach the Flying Heaven level, there is hope to be selected,¡± Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan was listening.


    Perhaps, to the high echelons of the Alliance, anyone under 30 is still considered youthful, with room for cultivation.


    ¡°All in all, less than a hundred slots are available for the entire civilization each year.¡±


    ¡°Ten? A hundred?¡± Li Yuan pondered internally, indeed quite few.


    Coming down to it, Xia Country probably only has one or two slots every year.


    ¡°Of course, you will definitely get one, so there¡¯s no need to worry about that,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    ¡°Definitely?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    Isn¡¯t there a selection process?


    ¡°Originally, Dean Hai planned to recommend you in your sophomore year,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°but now that your spiritual power has reached the Flying Heaven level¡­ you¡¯re certainly in.¡±


    ¡°Looking at the entire civilization, a First Rank spiritual power that¡¯s reached the Flying Heaven level; I don¡¯t know if there¡¯s been a second case in history,¡± Li Yang shrugged, ¡°At least, I haven¡¯t heard of it.¡±


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    ¡°But you should understand, there are still subtle differences among Feixing slots.¡±


    ¡°The better you perform, the more benefits you¡¯ll receive once you arrive on Feixing,¡± Li Yang stated seriously, ¡°The Global University Martial Arts Competition virtual battle is your stage; you must seize the opportunity.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded emphatically.


    Only about ten slots each year globally? And that¡¯s after screening all the geniuses under the age of 30?


    You should know that just the three top-tier martial schools on Blue Star together enroll 1000 students each year.


    From the ages of 18 to 30, over more than a decade, that¡¯s tens of thousands of students¡ªeach one a genius.


    And then there are the many regular Martial Arts Universities.


    ¡°Getting into one of the top three martial schools is only considered a martial path genius in the conventional sense,¡± Li Yang lamented, ¡°But if one gets a Feixing slot and goes to Feixing¡­ that¡¯s a super genius among geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Anyone who qualifies to go there, in the end, more than sixty percent become Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yang said solemnly.


    ¡°And the other thirty percent?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Most of them die during various life-and-death trials.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yang then shared quite a bit more about the ¡°Feixing slot.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never been there myself, and a lot of it is hearsay, just listen and take it as reference,¡± Li Yang said with a laugh, ¡°Anyway, work hard.¡±


    ¡°Maybe then, you might even meet Senior Dongfang Ji.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened.


    Dongfang Ji? That was his idol since childhood.


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yang suddenly changed the subject, ¡°Li Yuan, you still have one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit in your possession, don¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°Would you be willing to sell it to me, your teacher?¡±

 Chapter 249 - 201 201 Principal Fang and Star Lord Bai Shan

    Chapter 249: Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Principal Fang and Star Lord Bai Shan


    ¡°Teacher needs the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.


    Li Yang knew that he had the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit. Li Yuan was not surprised, as the report transmitted by Liu Jing would definitely have detailed explanations.


    It¡¯s just that, in Li Yuan¡¯s imagination,


    treasures like the ¡®Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit¡¯ should not be unique and irreplaceable in their effects, there were several Third Rank treasures with similar effects.


    In other words,


    any treasure that could be measured in money, no matter how expensive, was not that rare in value and scarcity.


    ...


    The real rare and precious treasures, let alone billions of Blue Star Coins, even trillions of Blue Star Coins couldn¡¯t buy them.


    ¡°I do,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking, kid. You¡¯re right, there are many Third Rank treasures with effects similar to those of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, such as the Sweet Spirit Core Crystal, the Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass¡­ I¡¯ve used many of these Third Rank treasures, with some having been used up more than once.¡±


    ¡°But these Heavenly Materials Treasures all share one thing in common: the first time you use them, the effect is astonishing, the second time the effect diminishes sharply¡­ The effect of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is not unique, but it¡¯s relatively rare, and I hadn¡¯t managed to purchase it before,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    Li Yuan looked at Li Yang in astonishment.


    Such a big spender!


    These Heavenly Materials Treasures are usually extremely valuable¡­ Just how much wealth had Teacher Li Yang spent on them?


    ¡°Teacher, what about your spiritual power?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s at the limit of level 29,¡± Li Yang said with some helplessness as he saw through Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, ¡°Every time I take a Heavenly Material Treasure, my spiritual power slightly increases, but my Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, feels within reach yet I can never quite break through the bottleneck.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not like you, who have such an incredible natural talent for spiritual power,¡± Li Yang said, a trace of envy visible in his eyes.


    Li Yuan silently sighed. Without becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, it was indeed difficult to make a breakthrough to Flying Heaven Level spiritual power.


    ¡°If there were a Soul Essence Nine Revolutions Fruit, a level 29 Origin Warrior who used it would definitely achieve Flying Heaven Level spirit,¡± Li Yang said shaking his head slightly, ¡°It¡¯s a pity, such treasures are greatly beneficial even for those at Flying Heaven Level, and would never be put up for auction or made common knowledge.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just like Wan Qinghe, who had no idea about the channels for these Third Rank treasures.


    Similarly, Li Yang also had no channels to obtain some of the rare and precious treasures.


    Ordinary Origin Warriors, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ they all had their invisible barriers.


    The Soul Essence Nine Revolutions Fruit, being a Fourth Rank treasure, might not be as rare as the public data suggests.


    It¡¯s just that the rank of the Origin Warrior was not high enough, so many could not access them.


    ¡°This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is not very useful to me, and it¡¯s hard to preserve for a long period. It might as well be exchanged for some money,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I originally wanted to ask teacher to help me sell it, but since you need it, I will give it to you.¡±


    As he said it,


    Whoosh! Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a blue-purple fruit with a silvery sheen on its surface appeared in his hand, looking quite beautiful.


    Li Yang, although he didn¡¯t hold the same place in Li Yuan¡¯s heart as Xu Bo,


    had wholeheartedly taught him, and Li Yuan was indeed grateful.


    ¡°Give it to me?¡± Li Yang was stunned for a moment but felt quite happy inside.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current talent and strength, there really was no need to please him so much anymore.


    The willingness to give must be from the heart.


    But who was Li Yang? A Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, and also a deputy dean of Kunlun Martial University, in terms of strength, he was among the very forefront of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¡­ how could he accept such a precious treasure from his student for nothing?


    ¡°I appreciate your sentiment, but you obtained this treasure at the risk of your life. How could I take it for free?¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s also because I know you¡¯ve used one before and, with your spiritual power having transformed to Flying Heaven Level, that I know it¡¯s no use to you, so I asked you for it.¡±


    ¡°If you had only one, I wouldn¡¯t have even asked you,¡± Li Yang continued with a smile, ¡°How about this, tell me any Heavenly Material Treasure you want, and I¡¯ll get it for you.¡±


    ¡°Also, rest assured, while in terms of wealth I might not match up to a Flying Heaven Warrior, there aren¡¯t many among the Origin Warriors who surpass me,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°In terms of my network, I¡¯m barely among the top tier.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless; he believed Li Yang on that point.


    ¡°Since teacher put it that way, then I won¡¯t be polite,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I want a ¡®Dragon Heart Spirit Fruit¡¯ that can restore my uncle¡¯s health, along with a treasure or treatment plan for my aunt to maintain her health.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯d like to spend some money to properly cultivate my younger brother and sister,¡± Li Yuan said.


    This had been his plan all along.


    Until his trip to the Mingxu Star Realm, his fortune wasn¡¯t small, but just for his own cultivation, it might not have been enough¡­ Now, for the time being, it was sufficient.


    ¡°All for your family?¡± Li Yang¡¯s look towards Li Yuan became even more approving.


    He didn¡¯t see it as wasteful at all.


    A person who has affection for their family, naturally, will also have affection for their entire nation or even civilization¡­ It¡¯s the bonds of emotion that sustain a civilization.


    If a person doesn¡¯t even care about their own family, it¡¯s quite terrifying.


    ¡°Let me think,¡±


    ¡°Dragon Heart Spirit Fruit, I¡¯ll ask some friends first, I should be able to buy it,¡± Li Yang said, ¡°As for your aunt, it¡¯s best to use some ¡®Exquisite Spiritual Liquid¡¯ made from Third Rank treasures¡­ It¡¯s not too expensive, the whole treatment would probably cost about two billion, enough to transform your aunt¡¯s Physical Quality to level 8 or 9, living to 120 years old is not a problem.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, it sounded promising.


    ¡°As for your younger brother and sister,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°If their Physical Quality is high enough to exceed level 12, it¡¯s best to use Third Rank treasures like the Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal.¡±


    ¡°If the Physical Quality is not enough, then start with High Origin Spirit Spring, Second Rank Spirit Nourishing Potions¡­ Actually, it¡¯s pretty much the same as what you went through initially,¡± Li Yang said.


    ¡°Understood, thank you, teacher,¡± Li Yuan nodded.

 Chapter 250 - 201 Principal Fang and Star Lord Bai Shan _2

    Chapter 250: Chapter 201 Principal Fang and Star Lord Bai Shan _2


    The difference was that I had enough talent initially, so the Martial Hall and the country cultivated me for free.


    Whereas my brother and sister showed insufficient talent and had to spend their own money.


    ¡°For my brother and sister¡¯s situation, I¡¯ll handle it through the Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°But for my uncle and aunt¡¯s matter, I¡¯m relying on the teacher.¡±


    ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll send two teams to Jiang City to get your uncle and aunt a thorough check-up first,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    Such a task was very simple for him.


    ¡°Teacher, you should use this Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit as soon as possible,¡± Li Yuan said as he handed over the fruit, smiling. ¡°Why not consume it here?¡±


    ... sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The longer we delay, the less effective it will be.¡±


    ¡°This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit has already been picked for more than ten days,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡­


    Eventually, under Li Yuan¡¯s earnest persuasion,


    Li Yang accepted Li Yuan¡¯s suggestion¡ªto consume it on the spot.


    For treasures like this, once you decide to use them, it¡¯s best to ¡®get it down for peace of mind.¡¯


    Hu!


    Li Yang went to a nearby rest room in the base, while Li Yuan sat in the meeting room with closed eyes, resting and recuperating.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Shi Xiao approached the door.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Li Yuan opened his eyes and smiled.


    ¡°Teacher Li said he¡¯s going into closed cultivation and asked us to wait for four or five hours,¡± Shi Xiao said with a smile. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go out and stroll around the city? It¡¯s not far from Golden Dragon City, and it will take only twenty minutes by flying vehicle.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I strolled around the city.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll pass, sister. Why don¡¯t you go and wander around by yourself?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Later, when we take the flying vehicle, I won¡¯t be able to cultivate.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m also getting ready to cultivate,¡± he added.


    Soon after.


    Li Yuan, carrying his weapon case and backpack, went to a rest room, leaving behind a bewildered Shi Xiao.


    ¡°What, is everyone a cultivation maniac?¡± Shi Xiao muttered, then sighed in secret, ¡°Perhaps, this is the reason for Li Yuan¡¯s rapid advancement in strength.¡±


    Shi Xiao did not go out to the city.


    Strolling around alone? She wasn¡¯t into that.


    ¡­


    Inside this rest room,


    ¡°First, practice the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,''¡± Li Yuan said as he sat cross-legged and gently closed his eyes.


    Practicing the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± and ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡± was an essential daily lesson for Li Yuan.


    After his exchange with Li Yang just now, Li Yuan became more aware of the terrifying aspects of the Visualization Method.


    The growth of spiritual power is extremely difficult.


    ¡°Without the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, my spiritual power would never have improved this fast, let alone shattered the shackles from Second Rank to Third Rank so soon,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Hum~


    With a thought, his consciousness descended into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and immediately, he felt the presence of the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    ¡­It was a vast, boundless expanse of stars and space, with a great sun illuminating the endless night sky.


    Hu! As if appearing out of thin air, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness felt the presence of the sun.


    ¡°It expanded again?¡± Li Yuan frowned, feeling the great sun in front of him, much more terrifying than before the abnormality.


    The last time there was an abnormality, his spiritual power broke through to the Flying Heaven Level, and only then could Li Yuan suppress the rebellious Great Sun¡¯s pride.


    But soon after, Li Yuan realized he hadn¡¯t solved the fundamental problem.


    As long as his consciousness left the Great Sun Jade Platform, with the passage of time, the sun within the platform would gradually expand and rebel.


    He had to suppress it every once in a while.


    If he ignored it, before long, the light from the great sun would burst out of the Jade Platform and affect the entire spiritual world.


    ¡°Suppress.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s also cultivation,¡± Li Yuan thought, as he rotated the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± in his mind, and immediately his consciousness dispersed, sensing the vast and boundless Great Sun starry sky¡­ Hot! Painful!


    Endless pain swept over Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness at once.


    ¡°Hold on.¡±


    ¡°To undergo three thousand calamities is to temper, to sharpen my spirit and will,¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth enduring, striving to calm his heart.


    This level of pain was no less than when the spirit dried up in agony. In some respects, it was even more intense.


    Because the spirit-drying agony only lasted a moment, whereas suppressing the Great Sun stars was Li Yuan¡¯s daily necessary lesson, lasting at least an hour each day.


    Fortunately.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power and willpower were now much stronger than before, and there wasn¡¯t even a trace of pain on his face.


    In fact, Li Yuan only needed to suppress the Great Sun for half an hour every two or three days to prevent its upheaval from affecting the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    However, even though he suppressed the proud sun to the extreme every time, Li Yuan still continued to endure this grinding voluntarily.


    ¡°Although painful, it can make my willpower increasingly strong.¡±


    ¡°If I don¡¯t actively strive to cultivate, then, when the next crisis, hidden within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, erupts¡­ I might not be able to withstand it,¡± thought Li Yuan, also feeling a sense of crisis deep in his heart.


    What would happen if he couldn¡¯t withstand it? No one could predict!


    Li Yuan knew too little about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°All I can do is try to make myself stronger,¡± Li Yuan silently vowed: ¡°Strive with all my might to become stronger.¡±


    Whoosh~


    Whoosh~ Accompanied by waves of pain sweeping through, the Visualization Method operated, and strands of starlight shone down, nourishing Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has increased from level 30.1 to level 30.2]¡± a Divine Palace prompt suddenly flashed by.


    Ever since his spiritual power transformed to the Flying Heaven Level, leveling up had become much slower.


    Li Yuan was still in quiet cultivation.


    ¡­


    While Li Yang and Li Yuan were successively in seclusion at this military base and not hurriedly returning to Kunlun Martial University.


    Kunlun Martial University, Vermilion Bird Tower.


    Right above.


    In the thousand-meter-high sky, a large flying saucer-shaped aircraft hovered, over thirty meters in height and more than a hundred meters in diameter.


    The entire aircraft was capable of complete optical invisibility.


    Throughout Kunlun Martial University, aside from the eight Flying Heaven Level deans and the two vice-chancellors, nobody else¡­ including the ordinary teachers and associate deans, was aware of this aircraft¡¯s existence.


    And it was precisely the personal vehicle and ¡®office¡¯ of the president of Kunlun Martial University.


    As a result, the president was extremely mysterious in the eyes of many teachers and students.


    He didn¡¯t even have an office.


    Inside the aircraft, the Quiet Cultivation Room, filled with a sci-fi vibe, was entirely built of metal.


    A black-robed youth was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed.


    He was two meters above the ground, with an intangible force spreading out from him. Streams of water were born out of nowhere, circulating around him. The surface of the water shimmered with strands of blue light, making his whole presence as vast as the ocean.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master, Star Lord Bai Shan is calling for you,¡± the voice of the assistant AI sounded.


    The black-robed youth slowly opened his eyes and said flatly, ¡°Answer.¡±


    Drip~


    Numerous rays of light shot out, forming a massive holographic projection in front of the black-robed youth.


    Within the projection appeared an old man dressed in white casual clothes.


    ¡°Elder Bai,¡± the black-robed youth said with a faint smile.


    ¡°Fang Hai, it¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve seen you. Are you cultivating again?¡± the old man in white casual clothes laughed: ¡°I was playing with my great-grandson just now and didn¡¯t see your call, sorry about that.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, elder. That your family is harmonious is a fortunate thing,¡± Fang Hai replied with a faint smile.


    He was well aware of the standing of this elder in white casual clothes, the first person in Xia Country¡¯s history to surpass the Flying Heaven Level.


    Even today, he remained one of Xia Country¡¯s Seas Calming Divine Needles.


    Both his mentor, Dongfang Ji, and he himself had received guidance from this man.


    Among the many Star Masters of the Seven Star Alliance, Bai Shan¡¯s status was extremely high.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen the message you just sent me,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile: ¡°This young fellow named Li Yuan is indeed worthy of cultivation¡­ Let¡¯s assign him the Second Class position in this year¡¯s Xia Country¡¯s Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°As for First Class¡­ that¡¯s going to depend on your mentor¡¯s attitude. It¡¯s better for you to speak to him than for me,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a chuckle.


    The Martial God Inheritance positions were also graded, from the highest Special Rank down to the most ordinary Third Class, and the difference was substantial.


    For example, the top three of the global collegiate Martial Path competition only received Third Class positions.


    Is a Second Class or First Class position sought? It doesn¡¯t just depend on present strength, but the top brass has to judge potential as well.


    Xia Country, as Blue Star¡¯s most powerful nation and the homeland of Dongfang Ji, has very high authority¡­ every year, it can directly nominate a Second Class position.


    That is one of the two exclusive privilege positions only given by the Seven Star Alliance.


    ¡°Ask my teacher?¡± Fang Hai shook his head: ¡°Elder Bai, you know my teacher¡¯s temperament. He values Xia Country, but he never favors any one person from Xia Country¡­ He treats all people of the Seven Stars equally.¡±


    ¡°For now, a Second Class position is already very good.¡±

 Chapter 251 - 202 - Li Yangs Breakthrough! The True Value of the Spirit Fruit (Extra 11)

    Chapter 251: Chapter 202 ¨C Li Yang¡¯s Breakthrough! The True Value of the Spirit Fruit (Extra 11)


    ¡°Teacher always values real combat performance over theoretical talent,¡±


    Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°In history, there has never been a First Rank place for a First Stage.¡±


    ¡°Like Teacher, who rarely gifts precious artifacts directly to his disciples, instead letting us strive and fight to earn them.¡±


    ¡°Of his nine children, six died in various life-and-death experiences¡­ Li Yuan is still naive, and it¡¯s hard to say what the future holds,¡± Fang Hai shook his head and said, ¡°Even if I go and speak with Teacher, it won¡¯t be of much use.¡±


    ¡°The Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot is the limit of what we can do to help Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Where he goes from here will depend on his own performance,¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°If he can soar to new heights in the virtual battles at the global university Martial Path conference and remains exceptional in the Prime Warrior stage, he will naturally secure a First Rank spot, or even a Special Rank spot.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Back then, I also started with a Third Class spot and rose step by step in the Martial God Inheritance until I received Teacher¡¯s approval and became Teacher¡¯s disciple,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Fair enough,¡± the Star Master Bai Shan smiled and said, ¡°You are Li Yuan¡¯s principal, you decide.¡±


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°Have you not broken through yet?¡± Star Master Bai Shan looked at the light circulating around Fang Hai and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Why the insistence? The Wanhan Star Realm is unpredictable, and no one knows when that thing will appear. Delaying isn¡¯t a solution¡­ Do you trust your Teacher¡¯s judgment that much?¡±


    ¡°If you broke through earlier, the foundation would transform, and your progress would be much faster than it is now,¡± Star Master Bai Shan said.


    ¡°I believe in Teacher,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°Teacher¡¯s judgment has never been wrong.¡±


    ¡°Your Teacher is indeed more formidable than I am,¡± Star Master Bai Shan shook his head, knowing Fang Hai¡¯s personality; this wasn¡¯t the first time he had tried to persuade him, ¡°Alright then, I will issue the official documents regarding Li Yuan shortly.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s settled then, I¡¯m hanging up now.¡±


    The projection screen faded, and the interior of the aircraft fell silent.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level soul? Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°I hope he does not waste this Second Class place.¡±


    ¡°Martial God Inheritance?¡± Fang Hai closed his eyes and muttered to himself, ¡°If I want to enter the Third Area, if I want to catch up with Teacher, I must take this step¡­ The path of the mysterious heavens.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really tough to walk.¡±


    ¡­


    About the ¡®Second Class slot¡¯ for the Martial God Inheritance he received directly,


    Li Yuan, far away in Jiangnan Province, was unaware.


    He had finished his Visualization Method practice and was instead continuing to cultivate ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars.¡±


    A vast amount of Origin Power surged into his body, fusing into his form continuously as his Star Meridians operated.


    Making his physique increasingly powerful.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level soul, it has made my cultivation of ¡®All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡¯ much more efficient,¡± Li Yuan anticipated within his heart, ¡°When I awaken the second Star Meridian, it should be even faster.¡±


    Every few days, Li Yuan would attempt to ignite more Life Stars within his Life Star space.


    Little by little, it adds up.


    As more Life Stars awaken, Li Yuan vaguely feels that the day to awaken his second Star Meridian¡­ should not be far off.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! A powerful spiritual fluctuation burst forth suddenly, sweeping out in all directions.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan abruptly awoke from meditation as his powerful spiritual power always sensing in all directions immediately felt this spiritual fluctuation.


    The aura was very familiar.


    The spiritual fluctuation was strong but lacked any sort of aggression, disappearing as quickly as it appeared.


    ¡°Is it Teacher?¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°It was Teacher Li Yang¡¯s aura.¡±


    ¡°Could it be, Teacher has broken through?¡± Li Yuan speculated.


    ¡­


    An hour later, Li Yuan was still meditating quietly, patiently waiting.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A voice rang out in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Telepathic Communication.


    ¡°Teacher, has your spiritual power broken through?¡± Li Yuan immediately responded, the two were communicating from across rooms.


    ¡°Haha, yes,¡± Li Yang¡¯s voice carried sheer joy, ¡°It has broken through, finally after decades of pouring most of my wealth into this¡­ but the most important thing was your Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, it¡¯s really not ordinary.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk when we meet, I¡¯m coming out soon.¡±


    Shortly after, Li Yang, who had finished his cultivation, came to the Martial Arts Room where Li Yuan was.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan stood to greet him, already sensing the faint but powerful spiritual fluctuations emanating from Li Yang.


    This was because Li Yang had just broken through and could not yet perfectly control this spiritual power.


    ¡°Congratulations, Teacher, I¡¯m very happy for you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Li Yang¡¯s smile was irrepressible as a breakthrough in spiritual power to the Flying Heaven Level was indeed a joyous occasion for him.


    For him, with the soul¡¯s transformation, the hope of achieving Fifth Stage Perfection or even Sixth Stage would increase tenfold.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior? No longer just a wishful thinking.


    ¡°If I become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, Li Yuan, your contribution will be the greatest,¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t hold back from saying.


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s because you have accumulated enough depth,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head repeatedly, ¡°Your spiritual power was already at the Second Order Limit, just one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is all.¡±


    ¡°Even if you hadn¡¯t received it from me today, you could have obtained it from somewhere else next time,¡± Li Yuan said.


    He didn¡¯t consider it his own merit.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°This Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit you gave is very special,¡± Li Yang¡¯s eyes held a gleam, ¡°Even though it may not compare to a Fourth Rank treasure, it is definitely top-notch among Third Rank treasures.¡±


    ¡°It contains some divine aspect¡­ together with some luck, I broke through,¡± Li Yang was very happy.


    Listening, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but recall the scene when he seized the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    The three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits I obtained are indeed very special.


    ¡°The value of your Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit is extremely high,¡± Li Yang said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°Initially, I planned to compensate you with some more Blue Star Coins, but now it seems, just compensating with Blue Star Coins is not very meaningful.¡±


    ¡°In addition to our previous agreement for your uncle and aunt, I will give you another treasure,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his hand, Li Yang produced a purple elixir in his palm, emitting a faint and strange fragrance.


    ¡°Origin Purple Longevity Pill?¡± Li Yuan instantly recognized the elixir, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    ¡°Liu Jing told me that you probably used this pill for him,¡± Li Yang said with a smile. ¡°This one will continue to serve as a life-saving treasure for you, which is quite appropriate.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, didn¡¯t you say it was very precious?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Indeed, it is precious,¡± Li Yang nodded. ¡°Normally, if Martial Artists could become Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¡­ the Seven Star Alliance would sell it to us for an ultra-low price of ¡®one billion Blue Star Coins¡¯.¡±


    ¡°But that¡¯s only a one-time opportunity.¡±


    ¡°After that, if Top Grade Origin Martial Artists want to buy more, they have to pay 50 billion Blue Star Coins and can purchase up to five times in their lifetime,¡± Li Yang said with a smile. ¡°Do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡±


    ¡°Can it be regenerated?¡± Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully.


    ¡°Yes, the Origin Purple Longevity Pill indeed has a stable output but is also extremely precious,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°To buy a chance at life for 50 billion Blue Star Coins¡­ we Top Grade Origin Martial Artists are still willing.¡±


    ¡°As for ordinary Martial Artists, most don¡¯t have the money to buy it, so the majority is unaware.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Between beginning and intermediate Martial Artists, the strength disparity isn¡¯t too great and can be somewhat compensated by numbers.


    But from advanced Martial Artists to Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¡­ it¡¯s complete domination, not even on the same level.


    Top Grade Origin Martial Artists absolutely dominate in terms of physical quality, Origin Power, and spiritual power.


    The key lies in their skills!


    Facing a Fifth Stage Skill with a Fourth Stage Skill results in total domination.


    ¡°50 billion Blue Star Coins is too expensive,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    By this calculation, adding the previously agreed sum, Teacher Li Yang has spent over 60 billion Blue Star Coins to purchase this Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit.


    Li Yuan believed in the other party¡¯s astonishing wealth.


    But by Li Yuan¡¯s estimate, it probably wouldn¡¯t exceed twenty billion at most.


    ¡°Take it, it¡¯s not expensive,¡± Li Yang said with a smile. ¡°For me, achieving a breakthrough in spiritual power is something billions of Blue Star Coins can¡¯t buy¡­ now that I can breakthrough, my hope of ascending to Flying Heaven is within reach.¡±


    ¡°To become a Flying Heaven level, an Origin Purple Longevity Pill is trivial,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°If you don¡¯t take it, it would weigh on my conscience, which is not conducive to my cultivation in the future.¡±


    Since Li Yang put it this way, Li Yuan felt it would be rude to refuse any longer and accepted the Origin Purple Longevity Pill.


    In fact.


    Having experienced the effects of the Origin Purple Longevity Pill, Li Yuan also understood he indeed needed it.


    It could truly be life-saving at a critical moment.


    ¡­


    Soon after, Li Yang took Li Yuan and Shi Xiao onto a large flying vehicle returning to Kunlun Martial University.


    Since it was a chartered flight, and Li Yang wanted to have a private conversation with Li Yuan, he arranged for Shi Xiao to sit alone on the other side of the cabin.


    It was very quiet inside.


    ¡°I figure at most by your junior year you¡¯ll have to graduate,¡± Li Yang, sitting in his seat, suddenly said with a smile. ¡°Perhaps even by your sophomore year.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    That soon?


    ¡°What do you think the school can still help you with?¡± Li Yang asked with a smile.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    ¡°You should be able to feel that this time seeing me, I¡¯m not treating you as an ordinary student,¡± Li Yang said with emotion. ¡°Like a normal elite student, for example, Shi Xiao¡­ after one life-and-death adventure, she would probably earn a few million Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°So, the various rewards from the school are still very important to her.¡±


    ¡°But what about you?¡± Li Yang asked, looking at Li Yuan with a half-smile. ¡°Your strength is already comparable to that of an ordinary Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Your earning capacity, thanks to your powerful spiritual power, is in some respects comparable to that of advanced Martial Artists,¡± Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Indeed, the wealth he had obtained from this trip to the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ made the school¡¯s training plan and the Martial Hall¡¯s contract lose their significance to some extent.


    A few million cash bonus? Not important anymore.


    Now, his assets under his name were nearly 15 billion Blue Star Coins; even Wan Qinghe might not have such a fortune.


    ¡°Normally speaking.¡±


    ¡°The most valuable treasure that the school could give you would be Heavenly Materials Treasures like Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal,¡± Li Yang said with a smile. ¡°One unit of Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal is worth approximately two billion Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the limit, more precious treasures are not something the school can offer.¡±


    ¡°Even in Starfire Martial University, Starry Sky Martial University, and others, their top students work hard in their cultivation, mostly for the sake of securing a Feixing slot,¡± Li Yang said with emotion. ¡°But you are different.¡±


    ¡°Your growth rate in this little over a month has been faster than what Dean Hai and I anticipated for an entire year.¡±


    ¡°At your current rate of growth, it won¡¯t be long before you become a Martial Artist and then head to Feixing to receive the inheritance¡­ When you return from the inheritance at Feixing, it¡¯s estimated you¡¯ll go to various Star Realms for life-and-death adventures,¡± Li Yang said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°Kunlun Martial University won¡¯t be able to hold you for much longer.¡±


    ¡°Cherish your last school days,¡± Li Yang advised.


    A few hours later.


    The flying vehicle slowly landed at the auxiliary airfield of Kunlun Martial University.

 Chapter 252 - 203 Requirements for a First Rank Legacy

    Chapter 252: Chapter 203 Requirements for a First Rank Legacy


    The three of them came out of the airport, the ground covered with snow, and at the end of January, the winter in the northwest was extremely cold.


    ¡°Shi Xiao, you go back first. Li Yuan and I are going to see the Dean,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°You also performed very well on this life-and-death adventure. Now that you¡¯re back at school, take a few days to relax.¡±


    ¡°Yes, teacher,¡± Shi Xiao nodded obediently.


    Meet the Dean? In her recollection, not many students at the academy had the chance to see the Dean alone.


    But she wasn¡¯t surprised in her heart, as she had already sensed Li Yang¡¯s special treatment of Li Yuan on the way back.


    It was nothing like how a student was usually treated.


    ...


    ¡°Junior Brother, see you later.¡± Shi Xiao quickly left, leaving Li Yuan and Li Yang standing there.


    ¡°The Dean wants to see me?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°With such a big deal concerning you, I find it a bit strange that the President can hold back from seeing you,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°The Dean has been waiting for you since early morning, follow me.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully, realizing the impact he had caused was far greater than he had imagined.


    ¡­


    They rode a small flying vehicle, traveling through the campus.


    Li Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility and peace in his heart.


    ¡°Sophomore year, or at the latest junior year, I will have to leave school?¡± Li Yuan mused to himself, Li Yang¡¯s words still echoing in his mind.


    In truth, ever since his skill broke through to the Fifth Stage of Unity of Heaven and Man, Li Yuan had been preparing to graduate early.


    Most elite students, even his fellow schoolmate Yan He, who was already a Prime Warrior, could still obtain cultivation resources beyond their capabilities from the school.


    This was the reason why a few Prime Warrior students were still willing to stay at the academy.


    What about himself? Indeed, there was not much point in staying at school for a long time.


    ¡°With the current rate of improvement of my physical quality, I estimate that by the end of my sophomore year, I could reach Level 25, or even the threshold of a high-level Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    It¡¯s difficult for Prime Warriors to advance in rank, mainly because of the large span in physical quality at each level, but difficulty is relative. With higher skill realms and the awakening of the second Star Meridian¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s rate of physical quality improvement would only become more terrifying.


    ¡°College career?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept across the campus. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In fact, for most of his time at school, Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation, with little interaction with other students.


    But the mindset and atmosphere of campus life were incomparable to life-and-death adventures in the Star Realm.


    ¡­ Bracing against the wind and snow.


    Soon after, Li Yang and Li Yuan arrived next to Dean Hai¡¯s villa.


    From a distance, Dean Hai was seen fishing in the midst of the wind and snow, surrounded by a group of attendants.


    ¡°What¡¯s Dean Hai doing?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask. If you ask, he¡¯ll say he¡¯s not fishing for fish in the lake, but for the fish in his heart,¡± Li Yang¡¯s voice arose in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Don¡¯t give him the chance to educate you.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two approached quickly.


    ¡°Dean, we¡¯re back. Why are you fishing in this freezing weather?¡± Li Yang approached and respectfully said.


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, wasn¡¯t it agreed not to ask?


    ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s figure shifted slightly, his gaze serene, and he said lightly, ¡°What do you know? Fish in the lake are easy to catch, fish in the heart are hard to catch. Once you have a breakthrough in your spirit and mind, naturally¡­ Huh!¡±


    Dean Hai suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Yang, his eyes showing a hint of shock, ¡°Your spiritual power has broken through?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yang replied with a simple smile, ¡°Dean, I bought a portion of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit from Li Yuan, and with some luck, I made the breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the Dean¡¯s previous suggestion,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    ¡°My suggestion?¡± Dean Hai was briefly startled, then quickly shifted to a natural smile, ¡°Haha, I just mentioned it, it¡¯s your own ability.¡±


    ¡°This is good news,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°A premature breakthrough in spiritual power is a great thing, this increases your chances of advancing to the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the continuous guidance of the Dean,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been eyeing my position as the official Dean for quite some time now, haven¡¯t you?¡± Dean Hai suddenly said with a smile.


    Li Yang was caught off guard, shaking his head quickly, ¡°No, Dean, I never had such thoughts. Not to mention I haven¡¯t yet become a Flying Heaven Warrior, even if I do reach the Flying Heaven Level, I would still be under the Dean¡¯s command.¡±


    ¡°Never mind, once you truly break through to the Flying Heaven Level, I¡¯ll hand over my position to you,¡± Dean Hai said leisurely, ¡°I¡¯ve sat here for decades, and I¡¯m a bit tired of it.¡±


    Before Li Yang could speak again.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Dean Hai looked towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Dean,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    ¡°All of you, go down,¡± Dean Hai suddenly said to the several attendants at his side.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the attendants put down their work and left.


    ¡°Take a seat,¡± Dean Hai gestured, and two stools on his left flew directly to his right.


    Right next to Li Yuan and Li Yang.


    This display made both Li Yuan and Li Yang inwardly marvel; this was the power of a Sixth Stage Skill Realm.


    Able to truly harness the forces of heaven and earth.


    Materialization!


    Both of them sat down, quite respectfully.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your performance this time was very good. Not only did you transform yourself, but you also made great contributions to the country. The chief officer of the Mingxu Star Realm outpost, Liu Jing, has praised you,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°Now you¡¯ve also helped your teacher make a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s what I should do,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    ¡°Yes, the Martial God Inheritance quota. Li Yang must have told you about it,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°He mentioned a bit,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Just now, President Fang has told me that you¡¯ve been approved by Star Lord Bai Shan and have secured the only Second Class inheritance quota that Xia Country has this year,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°Star Lord Bai Shan?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    Star Lord, he had heard from Li Yang, represented the highest echelon of the Seven Star Alliance, but as for who exactly they were, he didn¡¯t know much.


    The difference in status was too great.


    But Bai Shan?


    That name was like a thunderclap; every Xia Country citizen would recognize it as the key figure who precipitated Xia Country¡¯s rise to become the number one power in Blue Star¡­ In the hearts of countless citizens, his status was perhaps even above Dongfang Ji.

 Chapter 253 - 203 Requirements for a First Rank Legacy_2

    Chapter 253: Chapter 203 Requirements for a First Rank Legacy_2


    ¡°`


    He was the true pillar of the sky in Xia Country.


    However, in recent decades, there had been little news of him.


    ¡°Second Class quota? Are there ranks above this for the Martial God Inheritance quota?¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but ask out of curiosity, ¡°Could there possibly be someone among our peers in the alliance whose talent exceeds that of Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°There are some things I shouldn¡¯t say by principle, and you, Li Yang, aren¡¯t qualified to know,¡± Dean Hai said indifferently, ¡°But now that your spiritual power has undergone transformation, I might as well share that the Martial God Inheritance quotas range from the highest, which is Special Rank, to the lowest, which is Third Class.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ...


    ¡°Under normal circumstances, the elites selected from the upcoming global collegiate Martial Path virtual and actual combat competitions who are making their first trip to Feixing, would typically only obtain a Third Class quota,¡± Dean Hai explained.


    ¡°Then why am I Second Class?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Xia Country is the homeland of the Senior Dongfang Ji, and we hold certain privileges,¡± Dean Hai explained bluntly, ¡°Each year, we can directly select one candidate for the quota. This privilege is unique to the homelands of Senior Dongfang Ji and Senior Lant.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; so that was how it worked.


    Lant was the first in the whole Seven Stars human civilization to exceed the Flying Heaven Level and was historically critical in saving human civilization.


    Dongfang Ji is the undisputedly strongest in our current civilization.


    It was only natural for these two individuals¡¯ home countries to have such privileges.


    ¡°Had it not been for you, we might have chosen Dantai Feng this year,¡± Dean Hai continued.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile. Had he taken Dantai Feng¡¯s quota?


    ¡°With Li Yuan¡¯s talent, couldn¡¯t he have directly applied for a First Class?¡± Li Yang asked, curious.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at his own teacher.


    Is it okay to ask so directly?


    ¡°Li Yuan, do you think your talent is high?¡± Dean Hai asked with a smile.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare to assume so,¡± Li Yuan quickly shook his head.


    ¡°Your talent is indeed very high, and your performance over the past year has been nothing short of perfect,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°Looking across the entire history of humanity, you would be placed in the top tier at your age, comparable to Fang Hai back in his day. That¡¯s why you were directly granted a Second Class quota.¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t know how to respond for a moment.


    ¡°Your talent is high, but never think that you are the only one who is unique,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°In history, at the First Rank, there have been others besides you who possessed Flying Heaven level spiritual power¡­ In fact, as far as I know, someone like Senior Dongfang Ji has the power to elevate the spiritual power of any First Rank martial artist to the Flying Heaven level.¡±


    ¡°That strong?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    It was outrageously powerful.


    ¡°Yet having strong spiritual power alone is not very meaningful,¡± Dean Hai explained with a smile: ¡°Even among Flying Heaven warriors, who all have Flying Heaven level souls, many still struggle to break through to the Sixth Stage Skill.¡±


    ¡°An ordinary First Rank martial artist, even with a Flying Heaven level soul, would probably only be able to sustain his status as a top grade Origin Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Spiritual power is an amplifier of Comprehension.¡±


    Li Yuan listened carefully.


    ¡°Like you, the reason your skills have improved so rapidly isn¡¯t solely due to spiritual power, but it isn¡¯t the decisive factor,¡± Dean Hai clarified, ¡°Even if your spiritual power were average, with your Comprehension, after many trials, you would also gradually shine, and I believe that reaching the Flying Heaven level wouldn¡¯t be difficult for you, and even surpassing it is within the realm of possibility.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the growth rate would be much slower than it is now,¡± Dean Hai added with a smile.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Such high praise from the Dean.


    ¡°You¡¯re performing well, but you are still too weak and immature,¡± he said.


    ¡°A First Class quota¡­ will depend on your performance from now on and after your arrival on Feixing,¡± Dean Hai continued, ¡°In fact, for you right now, the difference between Special Rank, First Class, and Second Class isn¡¯t significant.¡±


    ¡°Once you truly come into contact with the Martial God Inheritance quota, you will naturally understand.¡±


    ¡°Although it¡¯s not explicitly stated¡ª¡±


    ¡°But as a convention, the First Class inheritance quota is granted only to the most top-notch among the countless Prime Warriors of our entire civilization, and there¡¯s an unwritten rule,¡± Dean Hai said with a faint smile, ¡°which is to slay a Flying Heaven level Alien Race being as a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior, slaying a Flying Heaven Alien Race?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils narrowed; was it really that formidable?


    First Class was that powerful.


    What about Special Rank?


    ¡°In the entire Xia Country, only Yu Jinghe has managed to do this,¡± Dean Hai revealed: ¡°That¡¯s why he is called the leading talent of Xia Country¡¯s current generation.¡±


    ¡°Belonging to the younger generation, beneath the Flying Heaven,¡± he added.


    ¡°Flying Heaven warriors, on the other hand, are the real backbone powerhouses of our civilization,¡± Dean Hai asserted.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan said, internally shaken.


    To slay a Flying Heaven Alien Race as a Prime Warrior.


    So, this was the standard for a First Class Martial God Inheritance quota.


    Listening to Dean Hai, did it seem like there were quite a few unmatched talents throughout our entire civilization?


    ¡°Combat prowess is one of the criteria, but there are many other considerations, such as potential, age, temperament, and many more,¡± Dean Hai continued, ¡°For exceptional talents like you, there is always a lot of behind-the-scenes assessment going on.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan listened quietly; this was something he had started to realize.


    ¡°The next test you will face is the global collegiate Martial Path virtual combat,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°At your age, the difference in strength can be significant in just one year.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°You are very young, so if you don¡¯t get first place, no one will blame you.¡±


    ¡°But as a ¡®Second Class Martial God Inheritance¡¯ nominee in advance, if your performance is too poor, it will disappoint many high-ups in the alliance,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan suddenly felt the pressure.


    Disappointment?


    Being named in advance represents both honor and expectation but equally means bearing a heavy burden.


    ¡°The goal I¡¯m setting for you is to break into the top ten worldwide, aiming for the top five,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile. ¡°As for higher, that would be too much to ask of you, so I won¡¯t put too much pressure on you.¡±


    Top ten? Top five? Li Yuan silently pondered.


    ¡°What, you seem a little unconvinced?¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh.


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°Having fighting spirit is good. If you can climb even higher, I would be happy to see it,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile. ¡°Before the virtual battle begins, the school will give you all the data we¡¯ve collected on Fifth Stage experts.¡±


    ¡°But you also know.¡±


    ¡°A lot of people¡¯s information is confidential,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile. ¡°Just like your breakthrough to the Fifth Stage, most people are unaware.¡±


    ¡°There are many exceptional students who may have undergone amazing transformations after a year.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement; everyone¡¯s experiences and encounters differ.


    He had the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but others might also have formidable methods at their disposal.


    He couldn¡¯t underestimate anyone.


    ¡°Go,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile. ¡°The global preliminaries will start on February 8th.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s still some time left. Work hard, and you can still improve a lot.¡±


    Before long.


    Dean Hai watched Li Yuan and Li Yang walk away into the distance.


    ¡°Second Class? I thought he could be an exception and get First Class,¡± Dean Hai muttered to himself. ¡°Old Fang really isn¡¯t helping.¡±


    ¡°To not even have this bit of face in front of his own teacher.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yang accompanied Li Yuan back to his villa.


    On the way.


    ¡°According to the data we¡¯ve gathered within the school,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°only you and Jin Huguo have reached Fifth Stage Skill, so all hopes are pinned on you two.¡±


    ¡°Me and Senior Brother Jin?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly. Jin Huguo had broken into the top hundred worldwide in his sophomore year last year.


    This year would be Jin Huguo¡¯s last chance to compete in the Global College Martial Path Competition, and he was sure to make a fierce push.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let the pressure get to you,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°The ¡®real battle¡¯ of the Global College Martial Path Competition isn¡¯t until June, and it won¡¯t be until July that everyone heads to Feixing¡­ With your rate of improvement, even if you¡¯re not as strong as the top few right now, once you reach Feixing, you¡¯ll have a chance to surpass them.¡±


    ¡°Yes, teacher,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Whew!


    Li Yang quickly departed, and Li Yuan stood in front of his dwelling, pondering silently.


    ¡°Top ten? Top five?¡±


    ¡°Not as strong as the top few?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a hint of light: ¡°It seems that both Dean Hai and Teacher Li don¡¯t believe I can push for the top three, let alone first.¡±


    But Li Yuan harbored his own ambitions.


    Clang~


    He opened the door and entered his villa.


    ¡­


    When Li Yuan returned to Kunlun Martial University, at Starfire University located outside of Xia Country¡¯s capital city.


    Within a vast complex of villas for third-year students, inside one of the unassuming villas.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    A cold female in a purple practice uniform was silently practicing her swordsmanship. The sword light was elegant, almost merging with the surrounding environment.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master, Dean Yu is calling,¡± the assistant A.I. announced.


    ¡°Answer,¡± the woman in the purple practice uniform sheathed her sword and said in a low voice.


    Whew~ A multitude of lights converged, forming a large screen projection that displayed a middle-aged man in a suit.


    ¡°Dean Yu,¡± the woman in the purple practice uniform bowed slightly.


    ¡°Yin Man, I have something to inform you,¡± said the middle-aged man in the suit, his eyes revealing a complex expression. ¡°Our Xia Country¡¯s Second Class Martial God Inheritance slot for this year has been confirmed.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not you.¡±

 Chapter 254 - 204: The Virtual Battle of the Grand Competition Approaches

    Chapter 254: Chapter 204: The Virtual Battle of the Grand Competition Approaches


    ¡°`


    ¡°Not me?¡± The woman in the purple training suit was slightly startled, ¡°Who? Dantai Feng?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± the man in the suit shook his head slightly.


    ¡°Then Zhu Tong? Yu Mingwei?¡± The woman in the purple training suit named two more people in quick succession.


    These individuals were the ones she considered to be the biggest threat to her competing for the ¡°Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot.¡±


    Some were from Starfire University, and others from different universities.


    ...


    But they all shared three common characteristics: first, they were all from Xia Country.


    Second, none of them had been to Feixing yet.


    Third, they were all juniors or younger.


    ¡°None of them,¡± said the man in the suit, shaking his head.


    ¡°Could it be someone in their senior or fifth year?¡± The woman in the purple training suit couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Principal Yu, isn¡¯t this special privilege spot from our Xia Country normally given to students junior year or below?¡±


    ¡°Yin Man, don¡¯t rush,¡± Principal Yu soothed, ¡°This person is about the same age as Dantai Feng and also isn¡¯t from one of the top three elite martial arts schools.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The woman in the purple training suit immediately thought of him, her eyes flashing, ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Principal Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.


    ¡°Has he broken through to the Fifth Stage Skill?¡± Yin Man pressed directly, her eyes filled with determination.


    Principal Yu shook his head, ¡°His exact strength isn¡¯t clear yet, but according to the information I¡¯ve received, his spot was directly settled by our two Star Masters of Xia Country, and it¡¯s unchangeable.¡±


    ¡°Most likely, he definitely has made some remarkable breakthrough,¡± Principal Yu said.


    ¡°Two Star Masters?¡± Yin Man¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    How many Star Masters were there in the entire Xia Country in total? What had this Li Yuan done to gain such favor from two Star Masters?


    To her knowledge, even the official principal of her own Starfire University wasn¡¯t a Star Master.


    ¡°Indeed, this matter has come upon us suddenly,¡± sighed Principal Yu, ¡°catching us off guard. Initially, the school had planned to recommend you to compete for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot.¡±


    ¡°After all, in terms of strength alone, looking at this year¡¯s global university Martial Path competition, whether in virtual battles or real fights, you should be the strongest, and among all the talents in our Xia Country, you are far ahead,¡± Principal Yu said, ¡°then next year, we¡¯ll push for Dantai Feng to compete for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot.¡±


    Yin Man listened in silence.


    The strongest in strength?


    Last year, as a sophomore, she had successfully made it into the top ten in the global university Martial Path virtual battles.


    She was the only sophomore among the top ten at that time, just barely missing out on being selected for a Martial God Inheritance spot.


    After all, every year, there are only about ten spots chosen among all the Martial Path prodigies under 30 on Blue Star; the competition is indeed fierce.


    This year, her goal was not only to break into first place in both virtual battles and real fights but also to secure the second-class Martial God Inheritance spot from Xia Country.


    Though heading to Feixing later and gradually advancing from Third Class is possible, it¡¯s much slower.


    One step ahead means being ahead at every step.


    As someone longing to surpass Flying Heaven and stand at the pinnacle of civilization, she naturally coveted the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot.


    ¡°Principal Yu, is there really no chance at all?¡± Yin Man asked through gritted teeth. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°There¡¯s no chance, the spot is already confirmed,¡± said Principal Yu, ¡°don¡¯t be too discouraged, aim to steadily break into the top three in the virtual battles, and you¡¯ll naturally get a Martial God Inheritance spot.¡±


    ¡°The difference between Third Class and Second Class isn¡¯t that big,¡± said Principal Yu, ¡°As long as you¡¯re excellent enough, once you arrive at Feixing, you¡¯ll still have the chance to become Second Class and even First Rank.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yin Man nodded slightly, ¡°Principal, I will work hard.¡±


    ¡°By the way, Principal,¡± Yin Man suddenly said, ¡°this Li Yuan, he¡¯ll be participating in the virtual battles too, right?¡±


    ¡°Of course, virtual battles are a rare opportunity to hone skills, we¡¯ll definitely have him participate,¡± said Principal Yu.


    He had already guessed what Yin Man was thinking, but he didn¡¯t ask any further.


    Soon, they ended the call.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Decided by two Star Masters?¡± Yin Man stood alone in the Martial Arts Room, holding her sword, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness, ¡°So they directly settle on a spot without even watching the competition?¡±


    ¡°Perhaps this Li Yuan is outstanding, but they didn¡¯t even give me a chance.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Then let me see just how strong this Li Yuan is.¡± Yin Man felt a nameless anger burning within her.


    As Starfire University¡¯s top junior and perhaps even the top student of her year globally, she was extremely proud.


    Geniuses, by nature, don¡¯t like to admit defeat.


    If she lost in a fair competition, she would accept it wholeheartedly.


    Even if their strengths were close, she would acknowledge it because, after all, she was two years older than Li Yuan.


    But without even competing? Naturally, she felt discontented.


    ¡°Swish swish~¡± Streams of sword light blossomed, the sword¡¯s energy surged violently, fiercely unyielding.


    In an instant, shocking cracks appeared on the four walls of the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡­


    Yin Man wasn¡¯t the only one who received the message at the same time, hoping to vie for first place in the virtual battles.


    There were other top-tier geniuses from Xia Country as well.


    For example¡ªDantai Feng.


    ¡°Principal Yu, are you saying that our Xia Country¡¯s special privilege spot has already been decided?¡± Dantai Feng, looking at the suited man on the screen, couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Yin Man?¡±


    The first person he thought of was Yin Man.


    ¡°No,¡± Principal Yu shook his head.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s Li Yuan,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile, ¡°It couldn¡¯t be wrong.¡±


    ¡°You guessed correctly,¡± laughed Principal Yu.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t hard to guess,¡± Dantai Feng shrugged, ¡°In terms of strength, Yin Man is the strongest¡­ but in terms of potential, Li Yuan broke through half a month earlier than I did, and just looking at the speed of progress over the past year and a half, he has been much faster than me.¡±


    ¡°If you say that he is stronger than me in skill level now, I would acknowledge it.¡±


    ¡°Choosing him doesn¡¯t surprise me.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, according to tradition, we would normally wait until the real battle ends to confirm, but now with the virtual battles yet to start, two Star Masters have already confirmed him, and if nothing unexpected happens, he surely must have done something astonishing,¡± Dantai Feng said with a laugh.


    ¡°`

    Chapter 255: Chapter 204: The Virtual Battle of the Grand Competition Approaches_2


    Principal Yu laughed.


    He could feel it, Yin Man was not content, and by comparison, Dantai Feng was much more at ease.


    ¡°Work hard,¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re already at Fifth Stage Skill as a freshman,¡± Principal Yu said with a smile, ¡°As long as you perform even slightly better, you have hopes of being directly selected.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Dantai Feng nodded.


    If one placed in the top three in the virtual battles or actual combat, then, they would definitely receive a spot for the Martial God Inheritance.


    ...


    But what if one didn¡¯t make it to the top three? Then it would be up to the higher-ups¡¯ judgment.


    But no matter what, he was only a freshman this year; his hopes were much greater than those of last year¡¯s Yin Man.


    He hung up the phone.


    ¡°Li Yuan, getting a spot directly? Truly monstrous,¡± Dantai Feng muttered to himself, ¡°I thought after my breakthrough, I could catch up to you.¡±


    ¡°It seems the gap has widened even more.¡±


    ¡°I hope I don¡¯t run into you in the virtual battles,¡± Dantai Feng mumbled, ¡°That way, my record against you remains at a hundred percent win rate.¡±


    ¡°Haha, that way, no matter how strong you are, you¡¯ll still be defeated by me in the end.¡±


    Dantai Feng¡¯s heart was very calm.


    No matter how strong others were, Dantai Feng only pursued his own strength, and¡­ showing off.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°In the main tournament, I¡¯ll definitely not be able to beat those freaks like Yin Man,¡± Dantai Feng pondered, ¡°So in the preliminaries¡­ I¡¯ll aim to dazzle, strive to take first place.¡±


    ¡°First place in the preliminaries is still first place!¡±


    ¡­


    As time passed day by day.


    Back at school, Li Yuan returned to his peaceful life, attending general knowledge classes each morning as usual.


    Occasionally, he would gather with classmates like An Nong and Gu Qianghan.


    Before they knew it, February 1 arrived, and at Kunlun Martial University, in the villa, nightfall came.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Just after having dinner, Li Yuan silently practiced with his spear, feeling the changes in his body and the outside world as his Spear Technique flowed.


    Swish swish swish~ The spear¡¯s tip whirled, conjuring dozens of spear shadows, their speed reaching the ultimate fastness.


    ¡°My mind can always be in perfect harmony with heaven and earth,¡±


    ¡°Even if I were to meditate in concealed cultivation, I could feel my entire body gradually merging with heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But as soon as I explode with power and execute the Spear Technique, I immediately disrupt this state, and even the harmony of mind and spirit with heaven and earth becomes difficult.¡±


    This was a lack of control.


    And a deficiency in realm.


    ¡°Slow down.¡±


    ¡°I need to try slowing down,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear in hand began to move more slowly; ¡°With my mind tuning into each thrust, seeking the maximum might of every spear, following the natural traces of the heavenly and earthly movements.¡±


    ¡°Pursuing the strongest might.¡±


    ¡°To merge completely with heaven and earth is the standard of Fifth Stage Perfection, which I cannot do right now.¡±


    ¡°I can only try to make every spear strike as integrated with heaven and earth as possible,¡± Li Yuan said to himself.


    After practicing ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± repeatedly, along with previous exchanges with Li Yang and Dean Xu, he had a clearer plan for his upcoming cultivation journey.


    First, slow down the spearwork, letting each move blend with heaven and earth.


    Then speed up, integrating the Spear Technique with heaven and earth.


    In the end, when the whole person bursts into action, they will be able to merge into heaven and earth, and then, whether it¡¯s the movement technique or the Spear Technique, strength will erupt to an unimaginable degree.


    Harmony with heaven and earth is the beginning of Unity of Heaven and Man.


    And to embody heaven and earth is to reach Fifth Stage Perfection.


    Time ticked away, second by second.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly felt his smart ring vibrating and looked down to see it was a message from a stranger.


    The communication request read: ¡°I am Dantai Feng, Big Zhuang gave me your number.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile as he accepted the friend request and answered the call.


    Whoosh!


    The light screen projection coalesced, revealing Dantai Feng¡¯s figure, showing he was in a Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Li Yuan, long time no see,¡± Dantai Feng struck what he believed to be a cool pose and laughed, ¡°Still cultivating so late?¡±


    ¡°How else can I keep up with you?¡± Li Yuan joked, ¡°The global virtual battles are almost here, and I want to beat you once, to get revenge for last time.¡±


    ¡°How about we have a match on the Starry Skies Fighting Network first?¡± Li Yuan chuckled, ¡°Just to warm up?¡±


    ¡°No need, I don¡¯t want to run into you,¡± Dantai Feng said with a laugh, ¡°Don¡¯t think of setting a trap for me, I know you¡¯ve long broken through to the Fifth Stage Skill.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not falling for that,¡± Dantai Feng declared confidently.


    Li Yuan shook his head, amused.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t surprised that Dantai Feng knew about his breakthrough; Li Yang had mentioned it before.


    ¡°Is there something else?¡± Li Yuan asked. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot this year, you got it, right?¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile.


    Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    ¡°Stop playing dumb, it¡¯s no secret to me, our vice-chancellor notified me,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m not here just to congratulate you, I just want to tell you to be careful.¡±


    ¡°Careful?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°There¡¯s someone from Starfire University named Yin Man, I believe you¡¯ve heard of her,¡± Dantai Feng said with a chuckle, ¡°She is¡­¡±


    ¡°Never heard of her,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    Dantai Feng paused for a moment, then said with a smile, ¡°Then let me educate you a bit¡­¡±


    Soon, Li Yuan knew who Yin Man was.


    ¡°This special quota was originally hers?¡± Li Yuan contemplated.


    ¡°You could say she was the most hopeful,¡± said Dantai Feng with a smile, ¡°The competition hasn¡¯t even started, and you¡¯ve snatched it away. With her personality, she¡¯s probably not too pleased with you.¡±


    ¡°Not pleased then not pleased,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh, ¡°Should I help her feel pleased?¡±


    ¡°She probably wants to beat you,¡± Dantai Feng said with a laugh, ¡°I just wanted to remind you to be careful when you meet her in the competition, don¡¯t lose too badly.¡±


    ¡°Lose?¡±


    ¡°This girl named Yin Man, she broke into the top ten of the virtual battles in her sophomore year, is she that strong?¡± Li Yuan asked with a faint smile, ¡°Which one of us isn¡¯t stronger than her?¡±


    Dantai Feng was taken aback and then burst into laughter, ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s Li Yuan for you. You¡¯re right, which one of us isn¡¯t stronger than her? We definitely don¡¯t need to be afraid of her.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll look forward to your duel with her,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile, ¡°Remember, if you run into me in the main event, don¡¯t go too hard, leave me some dignity.¡±


    ¡°If I give you dignity, I¡¯d have to lose,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    Shortly after.


    The communication was disconnected.


    ¡°According to the information provided by the teacher, she entered the top ten of the virtual battles in her sophomore year, and another year has passed. This person named Yin Man truly has hopes of reaching the top of the virtual battles this year,¡± Li Yuan said to himself with a slight smile, ¡°Moreover, she¡¯s already a junior; her physical quality must also be very strong, she likely has a chance to aim for the top spot in actual combat.¡±


    Li Yuan had claimed not to know Yin Man, but in reality, he had seen the information sent by Li Yang a few days ago.


    It specifically highlighted Yin Man as the number one seed player.


    ¡°She¡¯s strong, but my spear is no less formidable,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself calmly.


    He continued to practice his Spear Technique.


    He practiced with the spear until midnight.


    ¡°[Your Spear Technique Realm has increased from Fifth Stage 23% to Fifth Stage 24%]¡±


    ¡°[Your Body Method Realm has increased from Fifth Stage 24% to Fifth Stage 25%]¡± Two prompts from the Divine Palace flashed in succession.


    ¡­


    Before long, another two days had passed.


    On February 3rd, close to noon, first-year students from the Sixth Institute began to file out from the Heilong Building.


    ¡°Big brother, help me with my Sword Technique after lunch, okay?¡± An Nong said with a smile.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Li Yuan replied with an easy smile, ¡°Come to my villa in the afternoon.¡±


    Li Yuan was always willing to help his close classmates and friends when they asked for guidance.


    Teaching others was also a process of teaching oneself.


    In the process of giving pointers to others, perhaps one might unknowingly gain clarity on points they had previously not understood.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, do you have the confidence to break into the top 100 of the virtual battles in this Global Martial Arts Competition?¡± Gu Qianghan asked eagerly.


    ¡°What about you?¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, ¡°Confident about making it to the main event?¡±


    ¡°Man, if I could make it to the main event in my freshman year, my dad could brag for a whole year,¡± muttered Gu Qianghan, shaking his head, ¡°I think you winning the championship is more likely than me making it to the main event.¡±


    Li Yuan said with a laugh, ¡°We¡¯ll see when the time comes.¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± ¡°Buzz~¡± Almost at the same moment, the smart rings on the hands of Li Yuan, Gu Qianghan, An Nong, and the others vibrated simultaneously.


    Everyone instinctively checked their rings.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t surprised and clicked on the light screen that appeared, projecting a document from the school¡ª ¡°Global Collegiate Martial Arts Competition 2044 (Virtual Battle) Schedule and Rules.¡±


    ¡°The virtual battles are finally about to begin,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight smile.

 Chapter 256 - 205: Cruel Rules (Extra 12)

    Chapter 256: Chapter 205: Cruel Rules (Extra 12)


    Upon returning to the villa, Li Yuan headed to the underground Martial Arts Room, and as all the lights came on,


    a myriad of light rays converged, forming a holographic projection.


    ¡°Global Martial Arts University Tournament 2044 (Virtual Combat) Schedule and Rules,¡± Li Yuan read aloud while opening the document.


    Instantly, the projection displayed an abundance of text:


    ¡°Since the inaugural Virtual Combat of the Global Martial Arts Tournament in 2009, we have upheld fairness and impartiality¡­¡± Li Yuan swiftly skipped over the first thousand words of superfluous text.


    His gaze settled on the most critical parts: the schedule and rules.


    ...


    ¡°In Virtual Combat, all competitors have the same physical quality, and the strength of their weapons is uniform. Competitors can choose any weapon¡­ What will be tested are their combat awareness, experience, and skill.¡±


    ¡°The Virtual Combat will take place on the Starry Skies Fighting Network. A special ¡®Global Martial Arts University Tournament Space¡¯ will be opened, where any student from Martial Arts Universities around the world can observe.¡±


    ¡°Registration deadline: 8:00 AM on February 7th, Blue Star time.¡±


    ¡°Registration conditions: ¡­¡±


    ¡°The whole Virtual Combat will be divided into four major stages: preliminaries, free-for-all, elimination rounds, and finals.¡±


    ¡°The preliminaries will commence globally at 8:00 PM on February 8th, with only individual scores made public, not the specific combat process. Competitors with a score exceeding 4,000 points will qualify for the free-for-all stage.¡±


    ¡°The free-for-all stage will be public. Students from all Martial Arts Universities can randomly select competitors to watch, and depending on the number of participants who pass the preliminaries, they will be evenly distributed into ten ¡®Stellar Battlefields.¡¯ The competitor with the highest score in each battlefield will proceed directly to the finals.¡±


    ¡°In each Stellar Battlefield, those ranked 2nd to 100th, a total of 990 people, will enter the elimination round.¡±


    ¡°The elimination round will involve 990 people through group round-robin tournaments, resurrection matches, and life-and-death battles¡­ Ultimately, the other ten places in the top twenty for the final stage will be decided.¡±


    ¡°The finals will feature the strongest twenty competitors, representing the highest level of skill among the young generation of Blue Star, engaging in peak battles, sequentially deciding the top ten! Top five! And first place!¡±


    ¡°Attachment: ¡®Detailed Rules of the Stellar Battlefield,¡¯ ¡®Detailed Rules of the Elimination Round,¡¯ ¡®Detailed Rules of the Final Round.''¡±


    ¡­


    Having quickly finished reading the entire document, Li Yuan realized that the rules were quite complex, given that it was an important global martial arts event.


    However, Li Yuan felt quite calm.


    ¡°These rules are very similar to the ten-schools freshmen competition,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°No need to fuss over it too much; just battle my way through.¡±


    ¡°Preliminaries with 4,000 points? Just pass them.¡±


    ¡°But the Stellar Battlefield, as long as I can take first place there, can I directly enter the top twenty?¡± A thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The elimination round, having to select ten people out of 990, was bound to be extremely fierce.


    And quite prolonged.


    ¡°It would waste too much of my time. If these people were all Fifth Stage experts, their battles would indeed be considered tempering. But most will only have Fourth Level skills, making fighting them less beneficial than dedicated cultivation,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    For the current Li Yuan, clashing with those of the Fourth Level skills was simply a waste of time.


    In an instant, Li Yuan had a goal in mind¡ªaiming to seize first place in the ¡®Stellar Battlefield¡¯ during the free-for-all.


    However.


    Li Yuan glanced at the ¡®Stellar Battlefield Rules¡¯ and realized it wasn¡¯t merely a battle among participants. In addition to other contenders, a plethora of Star Realm Creatures would randomly appear, some of which could be very strong.


    Therefore, in such large-scale chaos, theoretically, it relied somewhat on luck.


    For example, avoid suddenly being besieged by a multitude of virtual Star Realm Creatures.


    For example, avoid encountering Fifth Stage experts.


    ¡°Luck?¡±


    ¡°As long as I am the strongest, I can sweep through any opponent that comes my way,¡± Li Yuan told himself. ¡°As long as my luck isn¡¯t too terrible, preventing others from encountering me, that¡¯s enough.¡±


    Other competitors would hope for good luck to break into the top one thousand and advance to the elimination round.


    After all, being among the global top one thousand would yield a generous cash reward¡ªten million Blue Star Coins.


    But Li Yuan didn¡¯t care about that.


    Ten million Blue Star Coins? With his current wealth, he didn¡¯t care much about that sum. What he yearned for was to duel against true powerhouses.


    To clash with Blue Star¡¯s top-tier talents of his generation.


    ¡°Since the higher-ups have acknowledged me and granted me a Second Class Martial God Inheritance slot,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°I need to work hard to strive for a rank among the global top three, or even first.¡±


    ¡°Besides, the rewards for the top three are quite substantial,¡± Li Yuan noted, glancing at the rewards for the final stage.


    Those who make it into the top twenty of the finals will be awarded one hundred million Blue Star Coins.


    Breaking into the top ten will yield a reward of five hundred million Blue Star Coins.


    The top three will be awarded Heavenly Materials Treasures valued at approximately two billion Blue Star Coins!


    ¡°Two billion Blue Star Coins? My entire fortune now is barely less than 1.5 billion Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The reward was indeed substantial.


    But Li Yuan quickly realized that most of those who could make it into the top three of the finals were likely Prime Warriors aspiring to become Flying Heaven Warriors, with immense consumption of various cultivation resources¡­ It was no surprise, then, that the rewards were so generous.


    He closed the document.


    ¡°Continue cultivating,¡± Li Yuan calmed his mind, continuing to silently practice his Spear Technique.


    ¡­ Some classmates came in the afternoon; Li Yuan advised each on their practice and saw them off.


    He continued with his cultivation.


    At eight o¡¯clock in the evening, Li Yuan entered the virtual network capsule.


    Logged into the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    ¡°Sign up for the Global University Martial Arts Tournament (Virtual Battle),¡± Li Yuan applied immediately.


    The application was quickly approved.


    After waiting for two minutes, Li Yuan glanced again and found that the number of registrants had exceeded two million and was still rising. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°So many people.¡±


    ¡°Makes sense, just in our Xia Country, each session of Martial Arts University students is close to 300,000,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Adding up from freshman to junior year, that¡¯s over 800,000.¡±


    ¡°Looking at the whole world.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, there would be three to four million eligible students from Martial Arts University alone.¡±


    ¡°Plus, some people from society and some students from regular universities,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°All together, it¡¯s not a small number.¡±


    Although the competition is named ¡®Global University Martial Arts Tournament¡¯, it¡¯s not limited to students from Martial Arts University.


    Anyone under the age of 21 is eligible to register, but students not from Martial Arts University are not allowed to watch the battles.


    Therefore, this would lead to an astonishing rise in the number of participants in the preliminaries.


    ¡­


    ¡°Virtual battles signify skill level,¡±


    ¡°And in Martial Arts Cultivation, skill is the most important; only when the skill is strong enough can one become a Prime Warrior, a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Strive hard to push through.¡±


    ¡°This year, we in Europa must try to ensure that there are over 30% of us among the top 1000,¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°We must watch carefully.¡±


    ¡°Those who stand out in the virtual battles are the future powerhouses of the Blue Star within the Seven Stars human civilization.¡±


    ¡°Blue Star, having given birth to the unbeatable Dongfang Ji, is extremely mysterious and special.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji alone could slaughter countless peak powerhouses; without him, the Seven Stars human civilization might have been wiped out long ago, let alone continue to this day.¡±


    ¡°Our people have infiltrated Martial Arts University; let them observe the rankings closely, watch the battles meticulously, identify and record these future powerhouses¡¯ information, and analyze it,¡±


    ¡°As soon as we confirm the identities of certain super-geniuses, we will try to ascertain their whereabouts and carry out assassinations!¡±


    ¡°Like the geniuses who could break into the top three, eliminating one would be like eliminating a future Flying Heaven Warrior or even someone surpassing that.¡±


    In secret, many spies from alien races lurking on Blue Star were paying close attention to this competition.


    Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.


    Especially those alien civilizations hostile to the Seven Stars human civilization, like the Tianliang Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization, were extremely interested in such competitions.


    ¡­


    ¡°Our Sakura Country did not have a single contender in the top twenty last year; this year, we must strive to have one,¡±


    ¡­


    Starry Sky University, inside a villa.


    The underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Last year¡¯s first place in the virtual battle was Xia Country¡¯s number one; this year, our United States must fight to take first place,¡± a white Western-dressed man said seriously, ¡°Harmon.¡±


    ¡°You are the top of the junior class at Starry Sky University. This year, the hope of our United States rests on your shoulders,¡± the Western man continued.


    ¡°Senior Sangbu, I understand,¡± replied the young white man named Harmon, burly and stout, resembling a tower, wearing immensely heavy armor.


    ¡°Last year, in the battle from the top twenty to the top ten, I lost to Xia Country¡¯s Yin Man.¡±


    ¡°This year, she remains my biggest competitor.¡±


    ¡°I, will definitely defeat her,¡± the burly young Westerner said slowly, ¡°and take the first place.¡±


    ¡°And claim the Martial God Inheritance spot.¡±


    The video projection was turned off.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    The burly white young man took out his combat saber and continued his training; his sword technique was incredibly swift and ferocious.


    ¡­


    Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was February 7th.


    The registration for the tournament had ended, with over six million people signed up.


    Li Yuan had been consistently cultivating, with his Spear Technique and movement techniques steadily improving.


    The afternoon of February 7th.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan, who was practicing spear in the underground Martial Arts Room,


    suddenly received a message.


    ¡°Your bank account¡­ has received a transfer of 50,000 Blue Star Coins from Li Tianyou.¡±

 Chapter 257 - 206: Achieving Benefits for All Under Heaven

    Chapter 257: Chapter 206: Achieving Benefits for All Under Heaven


    ¡°L¨« Tianyou? Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment.


    Memories of the past flooded his mind instantaneously.


    Before the high school assessment in April of their senior year, he gave L¨« Tianyou fifty thousand Blue Star Coins under the guise of a ¡®loan¡¯ so that the latter could take better care of his health, emphasizing that he could wait until after university graduation to repay it.


    At the time, Li Yuan¡¯s wealth was far from what it was today.


    ¡°To think he repaid it as a freshman?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Fifty thousand Blue Star Coins meant nothing to the current him.


    But for an ordinary freshman at Jiangbei Martial University?


    ...


    It must have been somewhat of a burden.


    It is known that most students from Jiangbei Martial University graduate around level twelve, and those who graduate at level fifteen are considered elites.


    Based on Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, L¨« Tianyou¡¯s Physical Quality was probably around level eight right now.


    After pondering a bit,


    ¡°Di~¡± Li Yuan proactively called L¨« Tianyou. After only five or six seconds,


    a holographic projection formed, displaying L¨« Tianyou¡¯s figure. Having not seen him for over half a year, he had become much more robust than during their senior year, and his expression even more resolute.


    However, he seemed a bit at a loss.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± L¨« Tianyou showed an awkward smile.


    ¡°You repaid the money so quickly; you could have at least sent me a message.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Do you look down on me, your old classmate?¡±


    ¡°No, absolutely not.¡± L¨« Tianyou shook his head repeatedly, ¡°I just didn¡¯t want to disturb your cultivation. After all, I know your time is precious. You must be a top student at Kunlun Martial University by now.¡±


    ¡°I watched the battle between the ten colleges¡¯ freshmen last year,¡± L¨« Tianyou said with an embarrassed smile.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    The freshmen battle of the ten colleges was something all Martial Arts University students across Xia Country could watch. It was normal for L¨« Tianyou to know a bit about his situation.


    ¡°I¡¯m busy, but I still have time to talk to an old classmate,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°How is everything at Jiangbei Martial University? It seems you¡¯re doing quite well.¡±


    ¡°Not bad.¡± L¨« Tianyou revealed a slight smile, ¡°You know Professor Ming, right?¡±


    ¡°Professor Ming?¡± Li Yuan nodded, ¡°I do.¡±


    During senior year, Jiangbei University hosted a recruitment event where Professor Ming invited him to join Jiangbei Martial University.


    However, after the college entrance exams, they lost contact.


    ¡°In December this year, our school organized a special test, which seemed to revolve around spiritual will,¡± said L¨« Tianyou with a smile, ¡°I was lucky to break into the top ten among the freshmen, and Professor Ming took notice of me. Now, I¡¯m cultivating under him.¡±


    ¡°Top ten? Impressive!¡± Li Yuan exclaimed admiringly.


    After some thought, Li Yuan reasoned that since L¨« Tianyou¡¯s Physical Quality wasn¡¯t very strong and his spiritual power was likely below average among the thousands of freshmen at Jiangbei Martial University¡­ yet he made it to the top ten.


    Just in terms of Willpower, L¨« Tianyou was probably the first among the freshmen at Jiangbei Martial University.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t surprised by this. He had long known about the other¡¯s determination and perseverance.


    ¡°Later, when Professor Ming found out I was your high school classmate, he valued me even more. I passed the first stage of the test and got some cash rewards, so I thought I¡¯d repay you first,¡± L¨« Tianyou said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°According to Professor Ming, even though I don¡¯t have a compatible high-rank Cultivation Technique, I still have a chance to become a Prime Warrior,¡± said L¨« Tianyou, ¡°but it will be somewhat painful.¡±


    ¡°Painful?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s interest was piqued, and he asked, ¡°Cleansing Spirit Marrow?¡±


    L¨« Tianyou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, ¡°Right, Li Yuan, you know about it?¡±


    ¡°I know,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Not only did he know, but he had also been tormented by it repeatedly.


    Li Yuan thought for a moment, ¡°What¡¯s the monthly quota of cultivation resources for you at Jiangbei Martial University now?¡±


    ¡°One Cleansing Spirit Marrow and twenty batches of First Rank blood-qi medicinal remedies,¡± L¨« Tianyou responded with a full smile, ¡°Plus, you receive quite a bit of cash as a reward for each target you achieve.¡±


    It was apparent that L¨« Tianyou was very satisfied.


    ¡°The professor says that the most important thing for me now is to strive to reach the Fourth Level of skill technique.¡±


    ¡°When that happens, my Physical Quality will improve a lot faster,¡± L¨« Tianyou said somewhat helplessly, ¡°Unfortunately, I only broke through to the Third Level at the end of last semester.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s already very fast,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    If his memory served him right.


    Just before the college entrance exams, L¨« Tianyou had just entered the Second Stage of skill technique.


    In half a year, L¨« Tianyou advanced from the Second Stage to the Third Stage of skill technique¡­ This rate of progress, even among the many freshmen at Kunlun Martial University, was quite remarkable.


    After all, not everyone is him.


    The two chatted some more.


    ¡°Alright, Li Yuan, I won¡¯t disturb your cultivation,¡± L¨« Tianyou said with a smile.


    But before he could end the call,


    L¨« Tianyou was shocked to discover that a message flashed across the holographic projection in front of him: ¡°Your account¡­ has received a transfer of 10 million Blue Star Coins from Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°T-ten million Blue Star Coins?¡± L¨« Tianyou was instantly stunned, looking at Li Yuan in the projected screen in shock.


    For him, this was an unimaginable fortune.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how can you¡­ so much money¡­¡± L¨« Tianyou was at a loss for words for a moment.


    It was too much.


    ¡°Tianyou, this money is still a loan from me to you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°To assist your cultivation.¡±


    ¡°A loan for me? I could never repay it in this lifetime,¡± L¨« Tianyou shook his head continuously, ¡°Besides, this money must be important to you as well.¡±


    He knew Li Yuan was formidable.


    But subconsciously, he still felt that Li Yuan, like him, was just a freshman. No matter how outstanding, it seemed implausible for Li Yuan to casually spare 10 million Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Tianyou, this money isn¡¯t that significant to me anymore, but it¡¯s very important for you,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice grew serious.


    L¨« Tianyou was stunned.


    Insignificant to Li Yuan? Just how powerful was Li Yuan now?


    ¡°If you weren¡¯t striving hard and had given up on the Martial Path, I definitely wouldn¡¯t lend you the money,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly, ¡°But Professor Ming thinks highly of you¡­ I trust his judgment. You don¡¯t have a compatible high-rank Cultivation Technique, so to become a Prime Warrior, you¡¯ll need a lot of resources.¡±


    ¡°Resources mean spending money, and this ten million isn¡¯t even enough for your cultivation, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve realized that in your half year at university.¡±


    L¨« Tianyou didn¡¯t say a word.


    He fully understood that.


    ¡°Among our group of friends from our senior year, people like Zhou Qi went to cultural universities, and we don¡¯t have much contact,¡± Li Yuan looked at L¨« Tianyou, ¡°The ones who have really been going crazy on the Martial Path, aside from me, are probably only you.¡±


    ¡°As classmates, I want to help you.¡±


    ¡°Money is meant to be spent, don¡¯t worry about it too much. Just focus on your cultivation and strive to become a Prime Warrior in the future,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh, ¡°When the time comes, not to mention ten million Blue Star Coins, even earning a hundred million won¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it for now. I have some things to attend to, so I¡¯ll end the call,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, and then he disconnected the call.


    Left standing before the screen, Li Tianyou was still filled with shock.


    ¡°Help me?¡±


    ¡°Become a Prime Warrior?¡± Li Tianyou clenched his arms, a hint of determination in his eyes, ¡°Li Tianyou, oh Li Tianyou.¡±


    ¡°Opportunity!¡±


    ¡°Others may come from better backgrounds or have higher talent¡­ but having a classmate like Li Yuan is also an opportunity,¡± Li Tianyou silently told himself, ¡°I must seize it.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t let down his expectations.¡±


    At the same time, Li Tianyou could feel the carefree and wild tone in Li Yuan¡¯s words.


    Ten million, a hundred million Blue Star Coins seemed like nothing.


    This was the power of strength.


    ¡°Work hard.¡±


    ¡°Strive, even if it¡¯s desperate, to become a Prime Warrior.¡± Biting his teeth, Li Tianyou quickly started placing orders in the school¡¯s ¡®Cultivation Resource Treasury,¡¯ buying more cultivation resources.


    His cultivation was extremely arduous.


    But the school had a system, resources were limited, and for a student like him, without High Rank cultivation methods and techniques not particularly outstanding, it was already remarkable for the school to invest millions of Blue Star Coins in him every year.


    ¡­


    At Jiangbei Martial University, Professor Ming, who was meditating quietly in the Martial Arts Room, suddenly opened his eyes, having received a ¡®student anomaly alert.¡¯


    He clicked on the screen to check.


    ¡°Li Tianyou ordered so many qi and blood potions? And Essence Pills for Origin Power?¡± Professor Ming looked at the alert and wondered to himself, ¡°Where did he get the money?¡±


    After a moment of thought, he directly called Li Tianyou.


    ¡­


    At Kunlun Martial University, inside Li Yuan¡¯s villa.


    ¡°Hm? Professor Ming.¡± Li Yuan, who had just finished a short training session, received a call from Professor Ming.


    ¡°Is it about Tianyou?¡± Li Yuan quickly answered.


    The call connected.


    ¡°Li Yuan, hello,¡± came a deep voice from the communication.


    ¡­


    Shortly after, Li Yuan hung up the call with Professor Ming, who had been very polite throughout.


    At the same time, it gave Li Yuan a true understanding of Li Tianyou¡¯s situation.


    Li Tianyou, far from merely ¡®struggling¡¯ as he described himself, was not just among the top ten in the test of Spiritual Will but¡ªsecond!


    The intensity of his cultivation practice could be described as madness.


    It was this terrifying willpower that caught Professor Ming¡¯s attention and ultimately led to his exceptional promotion to the ¡®Warrior Class.''¡±


    At the same time.


    Li Tianyou, in the span of half a year at university, was rapidly accelerating in skill proficiency¡­ slowly revealing his edge.


    According to Professor Ming¡¯s estimation, by his third or fourth year, Li Tianyou¡¯s skills could potentially reach the Fourth Level.


    Upon hearing this from Professor Ming, Li Yuan thought of a phrase¡ªaccumulating thickly to discharge thinly!


    ¡°Talent is not immutable.¡±


    ¡°Skills are honed over time.¡±


    ¡°Comprehension and mental temperament can transform over a long period, alongside experiences,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s understanding grew clearer, ¡°Quick progress now doesn¡¯t mean quick progress at every step.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, Tianyou wasn¡¯t dazzling during his high school days, but he has been gritting his teeth and persevering, tempering his will. The hardships and dangers did not break him; instead, they made him even stronger.¡±


    ¡°This will all become the foundation for his future growth.¡±


    ¡°Once a certain level is reached, as long as one can endure it, a rapid transformation is inevitable,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Li Yuan was quite expectant of his old classmate¡¯s achievements.


    As for transferring 10 million Blue Star Coins to Li Tianyou? Li Yuan didn¡¯t care at all.


    This amount of money meant little to Li Yuan.


    Now, with his powerful spiritual power, a single adventure in any Star Realm could earn Li Yuan at least several tens of millions of Blue Star Coins.


    Like a few days ago.


    He had transferred 50 million Blue Star Coins to his uncle and aunt, to be used for his younger brother¡¯s and sister¡¯s cultivation during this phase.


    He also hinted to his uncle that he had earned the money himself, not to worry too much.


    What is the purpose of earning money? To spend it!


    ¡°The Martial Path is for achieving clarity of thought.¡±


    ¡°Now that I have the ability to seize vast wealth, parting with some of it to provide a better life for my family and helping friends within my means brings me great happiness,¡± Li Yuan continued his training, practicing with his spear.


    After the situation with Li Tianyou.


    Li Yuan felt his Spear Technique becoming increasingly smooth in his hands. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan harbored the aspiration of ¡®reaching out to help the world,¡¯ having been influenced by his uncle long ago, and his experiences since starting university, he aspired to one day protect civilization like the senior Dongfang Ji.


    But that would be in the future.


    ¡°Right now, my abilities are still limited, and my strength is not yet powerful, but I should at least manage to be self-sufficient and benefit those around me who are worthy of help,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts were very pure, doing what he could with the abilities he had.


    He did not give away his money lightly.


    As for Li Tianyou, Li Yuan felt his extreme diligence was worth helping, and only then did Li Yuan decide to assist.


    All decisions followed his own heart.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    As Li Yuan manipulated his Long Spear, suddenly the Spear Light surged, as if it drew upon some invisible force, causing a dazzling starlight to burst forth in midair.


    The starlight flickered, becoming more like flowing star rivers.


    ¡°[Your Spear Technique level has increased from Fifth Stage 27% to Fifth Stage 29%]¡± a Divine Palace prompt flashed by.


    ¡°Just one more step away from the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan continued his training with increased seriousness.


    With each passing day of dedicated hard practice.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel that he was getting closer to understanding the ¡°Meaning of the Stellar,¡± the Third Layer, ¡®Galactic Convergence.¡¯


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    On the evening of February 8th, 2044, Xia Country Time (Blue Star Time).


    The ¡®Global College Martial Arts Competition (Virtual Combat),¡¯ followed by countless people around the world, was about to begin.

 Chapter 258 - 207: King of the Preliminaries

    Chapter 258: Chapter 207: King of the Preliminaries


    February 8th, evening at 7:40 PM, in the underground Martial Arts Room of Li Yuan¡¯s villa.


    The light screen projection formed.


    ¡°Auntie, how have you been feeling these past few days after taking the rare Spirit Liquid?¡± Li Yuan asked with a smile as he was video calling with his family.


    ¡°Much better, my body feels a lot more comfortable, and some of the minor ailments have all but disappeared, even my strength has increased significantly,¡± Auntie said through the light screen projection, ¡°This stuff must be pretty expensive, right?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s not cheap, but I can still afford it right now,¡± Li Yuan laughed, ¡°Auntie, you don¡¯t need to worry. Didn¡¯t you all see my strength during the Fish Spirit Tide last time?¡±


    Auntie, Uncle Li Changzhou, and the siblings nearby all nodded in agreement.


    ...


    Like this time, why was Li Yuan able to persuade Li Changzhou and the others so easily?


    It¡¯s because during the Fish Spirit Tide, Li Yuan had already exhibited terrifying strength, and later even received a First Rank Silver Quality medal, letting his family know that at that time, Li Yuan already possessed nearly the strength of a Prime Warrior.


    In their minds, a Prime Warrior was already incredibly powerful.


    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ve already used my teacher¡¯s channels to try to purchase treasures to treat your health issues, and they should arrive soon,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    The treatment plan for Auntie was very mature, and as long as one was willing to spend the money to book a team, it could be carried out.


    But for Heavenly Materials Treasures like the Dragon Heart Spirit Fruit, which are multifunctional and scarce, they¡¯re not easy to acquire.


    These days, Li Yang had been inquiring through various channels.


    Even with money, one often has to wait for Heavenly Materials Treasures.


    ¡°Haha, there¡¯s no rush, my health is quite good for now,¡± Li Changzhou laughed, ¡°You, on the other hand, take care of yourself. When venturing into the Star Realm¡­ be sure to be careful.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Brother, is the global university Martial Path competition starting today?¡± Li Muhua, with sparkling eyes, couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Our school has been talking about it for the last few days. It¡¯s a pity we can¡¯t watch the matches; we can only watch some promotional videos at the end.¡±


    ¡°Yes, the preliminaries are about to begin,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    The competition being entirely open? That¡¯s difficult.


    ¡°Then you should hurry up, don¡¯t delay the match,¡± Auntie quickly said.


    ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t worry, the preliminaries are a virtual contest, and I can join the battle at any point from eight to twelve,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    He was not in a hurry at all in his heart; it was rare for him to video call with his family.


    ¡°Muhua, train well, and when I come back for vacation, I will test the results of your cultivation,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Muhua nodded earnestly, ¡°Brother, rest assured, I will definitely cultivate diligently.¡±


    ¡°Brother, good luck, and take the first place,¡± Li Qianqian laughed.


    The two siblings, as they were growing up, Li Muhua became increasingly dedicated to practicing Martial Path¡­ while it seemed that Li Qianqian¡¯s interests lay elsewhere.


    Li Yuan did not interfere in this matter.


    ¡­


    Soon after, Li Yuan ended the call with his family.


    In Starfire South Lake Community, inside Li Yuan¡¯s family villa, Li Qianqian and Li Muhua busied themselves with their own things.


    The only ones left were Chen Hui and Li Changzhou in the living room.


    ¡°You¡¯re not going to persuade him even a bit?¡± Chen Hui sighed softly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you find out that what I¡¯m taking costs at least a hundred million Blue Star Coins? With such a large sum of money, how many dangers must Li Yuan face to earn it? Why should he spend it on us?¡±


    ¡°There are some things you can¡¯t just talk people out of,¡± Li Changzhou said with a faint smile, ¡°Haven¡¯t you understood from the last Fish Spirit Tide?¡±


    ¡°Understood what?¡± Chen Hui was puzzled.


    ¡°Half a year in university and he has strength close to a Prime Warrior; he even made two university deans come to see him specifically,¡± Li Changzhou looked at his wife, ¡°Each of the deans has a status even higher than the Hall Master of Fei City¡­ Our nephew¡¯s talent and future achievements are bound to far exceed our imagination.¡±


    Chen Hui was stunned for a moment.


    Her horizon was not low, it was just that the changes Li Yuan brought were too big and too fast, and subconsciously she hadn¡¯t caught up yet.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s future may see him become a Flying Heaven Warrior, or even reach higher heights,¡± Li Changzhou spoke softly, ¡°His growth is extremely fast, and he will meet many seniors whose horizons, status, and strength far surpass us.¡±


    ¡°Most importantly, his vision and strength have probably already far surpassed us.¡±


    ¡°At this time, we shouldn¡¯t give him any advice,¡± Li Changzhou smiled, ¡°You need to understand one thing, we are all just ordinary people¡­ If we could provide correct guidance to a future super Martial Artist, would we be in our current situation?¡±


    Chen Hui was startled for a moment, and then looking at her husband, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Then what should we do?¡±


    ¡°Eat well, drink well, maintain good health, follow the arrangements, and do our best to educate Muhua and the others,¡± Li Changzhou laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t burden Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Also, turn away those relatives who come asking for favors.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going fishing,¡± Li Changzhou got up, preparing to get his fishing gear.


    ¡°At this late hour?¡± Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Night fishing is more peaceful. If I go during the day, Lord Wan often comes to disturb me,¡± Li Changzhou laughed, ¡°Lord Wan is a good person, but there¡¯s no need to owe Li Yuan any favors.¡±


    ¡°The more low-key we are, the better it is for Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°So you have to go fishing?¡± Chen Hui also stood up, frowning, ¡°Day after day, all you think about is fishing.¡±


    ¡°Fishing is a must, I¡¯ve worked hard for so many years, and fishing is all I¡¯ve got,¡± Li Changzhou expressed.


    ¡­


    Kunlun Martial University, inside the villa.


    After chatting with his family, Li Yuan still didn¡¯t rush to enter the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Instead, he continued to cultivate ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡±, bringing today¡¯s Origin Power cultivation to its upper limit.


    This continued until 8:40 PM. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°[Your Life Level has been raised from 19.5 to 19.6]¡± a Divine Palace notification suddenly flashed.


    Another ten minutes passed before Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, murmuring to himself, ¡°Finally reached 19.6.¡±


    Since coming back from the Mingxu Star Realm, almost ten days had passed, allowing Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level to increase by 0.2.

    Subconsciously, Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ¡­


    ¡°Going to Feixing will have to wait until July this year,¡±


    ¡°The practical fights of the global Martial Path university competition will also start at the beginning of June,¡±


    ¡°In the meantime, staying at the university for silent cultivation won¡¯t be of much significance to me,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°After the virtual battle ends, I¡¯ll spend some more time in concealed cultivation, and once I become a Prime Warrior, I¡¯ll venture into the Second Level Star Realm for adventure once again.¡±


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s plan for himself.


    The Second Level Star Realm is generally more dangerous than the First Level Star Realm.


    Once you become a Prime Warrior, your strength will surge greatly.


    Even when facing a Second Rank mid-level opponent, you would be able to cope, and entering the Second Level Star Realm would then be much safer.


    Later on, by killing members of the Alien Race and seizing spiritual nutrients, you can accumulate your Spiritual Awakening Level to the 40% limit, and you will get another surge of Origin Power in your body, which will hugely increase your strength even further.


    Only then will you truly have the capabilities to stand your ground in the Second Rank Star Realm.


    ¡°Venturing into the Star Realm, I can not only make contributions but also earn more wealth,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Life and death tempering will lead to faster growth.


    ¡°Next, I just need to beautifully finish the virtual battle,¡± Li Yuan entered the resting room.


    He sat down in the virtual network capsule.


    Logged into the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    ¡­


    In the virtual network, within the specially designated competition space of the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan directly entered and materialized in an immensely large battle space. Subconsciously, he looked around and saw that both sides of the spectator stands were filled with endless seas of people.


    There must be millions of them, densely packed and overwhelmingly numerous.


    The noise was deafening.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin,¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin is here,¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin,¡± before Li Yuan could speak, a chorus of voices immediately rang out around him; those sitting beside him were all freshmen from the Sixth Institute.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan,¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is here,¡± The shouts here immediately drew the attention of the farther spectator stands, and they all turned to look, all of them students from Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin, you¡¯ve finally arrived. We¡¯ve been waiting for you,¡± An Nong said with a smile, ¡°The preliminaries have been going on for an hour, and we hadn¡¯t yet seen you. We were worried you had forgotten and were about to send you a message.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just the preliminaries; there¡¯s no need to make a fuss,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, ¡°How are you guys doing? Did you pass the preliminaries?¡±


    ¡°I made it through,¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t, just missed by a bit, only over 3000 points,¡±


    ¡°I passed,¡± The freshmen from the Sixth Institute replied one after another, and from their voices, it seemed that most had made it through the preliminaries.


    To this, Li Yuan was not surprised. Although the freshmen from the Sixth Institute were not as strong as him, on a global scale among peers, they were already in the top one percent.


    Passing the preliminaries was mostly not difficult for them.


    However, according to the traditions of Kunlun Martial University, the preliminaries and the melee matches were not considered part of the main competition.


    It was not until the ¡®elimination rounds,¡¯ where individual duels took place, that they would be regarded as truly meaningful matches.


    ¡°There¡¯s quite a crowd,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Yes, the rules are similar to the ten-schools contest for newcomers, appearing in the spectator area according to country, university, institute, grade¡­ All the spectating students are in this spectator space,¡± An Nong said with a smile, ¡°Right now, we¡¯ve got over a million viewers.¡±


    ¡°Most people will leave once they pass the preliminaries,¡± An Nong obviously was quite familiar with the rules, ¡°But there are still quite a lot of those remaining, many are also very concerned about who will be the first in the preliminaries and from which country.¡±


    ¡°The first place in the preliminaries?¡± Li Yuan chuckled.


    Is that title so important?


    He instinctively looked toward ¡®the leaderboard¡¯ at the highest spot of the battle space, which listed the top 100 scores of the preliminaries:


    1, Shu Hengyu (Xia Country): 96,432 points


    2, Chuanfang Guizi (Sakura Country): 93,444 points


    3, Ovejus Vila (United States): 93,412 points


    ¡­


    97, Tian Dazhuang (Xia Country): 89,996 points


    ¡­


    Li Yuan glanced over the top 100, was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and chuckled, ¡°What a bunch of strange names.¡±


    Besides Tian Dazhuang, there were hardly any familiar names.


    Not even two names from the opponents he had faced in the ten-schools contest for newcomers.


    Something isn¡¯t right!!


    ¡°It seems to be as the teacher said, anyone with 4000 points in a single preliminary can pass,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The scores to a certain extent reflect one¡¯s strength.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to expose myself now and make other strong competitors wary, especially since being first in the melee doesn¡¯t directly lead to a slot in the final rounds,¡± Li Yuan thought as he made up his mind.


    He applied to compete.


    Whoosh! He disappeared onto the platform out of thin air.


    ¡°Li Yuan is competing,¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s gone, he must have gone to compete,¡±


    ¡°Do you think Li Yuan will give a stunning performance? I¡¯ve heard others say, and Senior Brother Jin mentioned that Li Yuan is likely to make it into the top hundred of the main tournament,¡±


    ¡°Not sure, I looked up many strong players from last year who didn¡¯t show their strength,¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin didn¡¯t make it onto the preliminaries¡¯ top hundred either. Senior Brother Jin was in the top hundred during his second year last year; this year he might even break into the top twenty. Judging by his strength, it¡¯s impossible that he can¡¯t make it into the top hundred of the preliminaries,¡± Students from Kunlun Martial University discussed quietly among themselves.


    They all held some expectation in their hearts, hoping that Li Yuan would show his mighty power and make it onto the preliminary ranking list.


    ¡­


    Within a virtual space,


    Like a vast corridor, Li Yuan appeared out of thin air, holding a long spear.


    ¡°Kill the enemy to score points; the more you kill, the higher the points¡­ The enemies will keep appearing until you are killed or eliminated,¡± the system voice rang out.

    ¡°The enemy will appear shortly, countdown from 10¡­1, begin!¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At the end of the vast corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly erupted; one after another, figures sprang from the darkness, their eyes filled with intent to kill, charging towards Li Yuan.

    ¡°For the preliminary round, one can adjust their Physical Quality voluntarily, I¡¯ve chosen level 20,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°By the looks of it, these opponents seem to be only level 18, and their skills are weak¡­ too weak.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s get this over with quickly and not waste time.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure flashed, and he lunged forward with great speed.


    He charged straight at those figures, the level 18 Physical Quality increasing their speed.


    ...


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly exerted his strength, followed by a myriad of spear shadows blooming, exploding like stars bursting.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± It was as if he were reaping wheat.


    These figures, whether wielding Combat Sabers, Long Spears, or shields, all their bodies exploded, blood splashed everywhere, and none could block Li Yuan.


    Even those with shields were pierced and killed by Li Yuan with a single spear thrust through their shields.


    Utterly ruthless.


    Boom! Li Yuan, like a bolt of lightning, charged to the end of the corridor, waiting for the group of opponents to respawn.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± Figure after figure fell, and he killed each one as soon as they respawned.


    Before long,


    ¡°Contestant ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, your score has reached 4,000 Points. Congratulations on passing the virtual combat preliminary,¡± a system prompt suddenly flashed.


    ¡°4,000 Points?¡± Li Yuan glanced at his score, ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    Phew! With a thought, Li Yuan chose to forfeit, leaving the combat space, and returned to reality.


    He continued practicing with his spear.


    ¡­


    ¡°The eldest senior brother has logged off.¡±


    ¡°It seems that the eldest senior brother, like Jin Huguo, is planning to burst out later.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, it¡¯s right to hide their strength now.¡± Many newcomers from the Sixth Institute murmured softly amongst themselves.


    ¡­


    Time ticked away, second by second.


    One contestant after another from around the globe entered the combat space, continuously making their moves.


    Occasionally, the Points leaderboard would refresh, but there was still no high-score players surpassing 100,000 Points.


    It wasn¡¯t until nearly eleven o¡¯clock.


    Whoosh! On the Spectator Platform of the combat space, in an inconspicuous corner, a figure in purple garments suddenly appeared.


    He caught sight of the leaderboard high in the sky at a distance.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yin Man, all of you really look down on the preliminaries, huh? Probably holding back fiercely, for fear that others will know your true strength,¡± the purple-clad youth muttered to himself with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s so late now, these guys should all have made it through.¡±


    ¡°You look down upon it, so let the title of ¡®Preliminary King¡¯ belong to me.


    ¡°Being the Preliminary King is still being a king!¡±


    Phew!


    The youth in purple summoned the will to fight and chose to join the battle.


    ¡­ Merely twelve minutes later, within the combat space where the number of contestants had already dwindled to over three hundred thousand, an uproar suddenly erupted.


    ¡°Look at this!¡±


    ¡°Dantai Feng!¡±


    ¡°Dantai Feng¡¯s name has shot into the top hundred and is still rapidly climbing,¡± many people noticed the fluctuations on the leaderboard, as well as that name continuing to rise.


    ¡°Into the top twenty now.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s climbing too fast, he¡¯s already surpassed 90,000 Points.¡±


    ¡°95,000 Points!!¡±


    ¡°Into the top ten.¡±


    ¡°First place! He¡¯s first now.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s surpassed 100,000 Points.¡±


    ¡°200,000 Points!!¡± Waves of exclamations kept rising.


    Everyone watched, wide-eyed, as Dantai Feng surged to the first place at an astonishing pace, eventually halting at a terrifying score of ¡®310,000 Points,¡¯ leading the second place by more than 200,000 Points in a cliffhanger.


    Students from Martial Path universities all over the world fell completely silent.


    At this moment, a vast number of students around the globe remembered that name¡ªDantai Feng.

    Chapter 261: Chapter 208: Seventh Star Realm Battlefield (Extra 13, 14)


    When they saw Dantai Feng¡¯s score, the tens of thousands who hadn¡¯t left the competition space¡¯s spectator seats erupted into commotion.


    ¡°Which university from Xia Country does this Dantai Feng belong to? I¡¯ve never heard of him before.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s too strong.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s from Starfire University, I heard he¡¯s the top genius in his first year at Xia Country, just a freshman! How fierce!¡±


    ¡°This is just the preliminary round, and the second place only has a little more than ninety thousand points, yet he¡¯s surged to more than three hundred thousand points, too outrageous, leaving the second place behind by over two hundred thousand points?¡± Many students exclaimed in admiration.


    ¡°A freshman? The first place in the preliminaries is taken by a freshman from Xia Country? Xia Country truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest nation on Blue Star.¡±


    ...


    ¡°During the Ten Schools Freshmen War, Dantai Feng was the absolute first, and now at the Global College Martial Path Competition, he is still the first.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s really strong.¡± The students from Xia Country, most of them quickly recognized Dantai Feng.


    After the previous Ten Schools Freshmen War, Dantai Feng¡¯s name had already spread across all Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country, and many people knew that Starfire University produced a peerless genius.


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°During the Ten Schools Freshmen War final, Li Yuan from Kunlun Martial University was only a bit weaker than Dantai Feng.¡±


    ¡°Haven¡¯t seen his name, probably hiding his strength.¡±


    ¡°Hide what strength? Does he think he can challenge for first place? He should take a page out of Dantai Feng¡¯s book and show his face in the preliminaries.¡± Many students from the Martial Arts Universities of Xia Country discussed among themselves.


    The discussion was loud and varied.


    But no matter how people discussed, Dantai Feng had already become famous around the globe with just the preliminaries, and he was about to be remembered by millions of Martial Arts University students worldwide in a very short time.


    ¡­Swoosh! In a corner of the spectator platform, Dantai Feng appeared out of thin air.


    There were few students from Starfire University, and even fewer who stayed here to watch the excitement, so not many noticed him.


    ¡°Awesome!¡± Dantai Feng listened to the discussions about him from the surrounding crowd.


    Words like powerful, awesome, and too strong kept reaching his ears.


    The corners of Dantai Feng¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but reveal a smug smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yin Man¡­ hmm, I scored higher in the preliminaries than both of you, which is kind of like beating you both once,¡± Dantai Feng mumbled to himself.


    This was his true nature.


    If Li Yuan focused on empowering himself, indifferent to winning or losing and external criticism, then Dantai Feng liked to show off in front of others, enjoying the praise for being powerful.


    ¡°To live a life where others are unaware of how awesome I am would be so sad,¡± Dantai Feng thought to himself, extremely satisfied: ¡°Today was truly exhilarating, time to go back and train.¡±


    A Martial Artist¡¯s practice is all about having a clear mind.


    Without a doubt, Dantai Feng had always worked hard to clear his mind of dust, which is why his strength had continually grown.


    Whoosh! Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Dantai Feng disappeared from the spectator platform.


    ¡­


    Higher up in a separate spectator space, within the magnificent circular spectator hall, millions of students were unaware of its existence.


    There were densely packed with over a hundred thousand seats, divided into three sections.


    The furthest section had the most ordinary seats, only slightly larger than those in the students¡¯ spectator space but the most numerous. These were designated for ordinary teachers from the various Martial Arts Universities of Blue Star and peers of similar strength.


    The middle section¡¯s seats were larger, but far fewer in number, only a little over a thousand, reserved for top grade prime warriors who qualified to watch the competition from every nation and school.


    In the area closest to the viewing screen, there were only just over a hundred seats, undoubtedly arranged for the visiting Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, today was only the preliminaries, and not many ordinary teachers were there to watch.


    Flying Heaven Warriors? Not one had come, but Dantai Feng¡¯s performance still shocked the thousands of prime warriors who were present.


    ¡°That kid, he¡¯s from Starfire University, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s ours from Starfire University, I even taught him one class before, I had no idea he had secretly reached the fifth stage.¡±


    ¡°First-stage as a freshman? That¡¯s too impressive, he must be the first among his peers.¡±


    ¡°Probably is.¡± These teachers from Martial Arts Universities all over the globe discussed among themselves.


    Perhaps the spectating students didn¡¯t quite understand, but these teachers knew very well.


    In the preliminaries, to reach ninety thousand points meant the skill had reached subtlety.


    To reach a hundred thousand points indicated a fifth-stage skill.


    To reach a million points meant achieving intermediate rank in the fifth stage.


    Dantai Feng, a freshman, had managed to secure three hundred thousand points in the preliminaries, which definitely signified staggering strength.


    ¡°Before, I didn¡¯t pay special attention to the information on Dantai Feng, after all, he had only reached subtlety previously.¡±


    ¡°Send the message back.¡±


    ¡°We need to warn those youngsters to be wary of him.¡± Scores of teachers from various schools immediately transmitted the news of ¡®Dantai Feng reaching the fifth-stage skill¡¯ to their schools¡¯ elite students for the first time.


    This was of great importance.


    Because in the upcoming battle royale ¡®Star Realm Battlefield,¡¯ unless one¡¯s strength was colossal, like Li Yuan, Yin Man, or Harmon, nearly invincible in one¡¯s own right, caution was necessary.


    Otherwise, suppose you possess subtlety level skill, originally hopeful of making it into the top hundred.


    But on the Star Realm Battlefield, if you encounter a master of Unity of Heaven and Man whom you don¡¯t recognize and you initiate a fight, leading to be killed.


    Lacking points and getting eliminated directly would be quite the miscarriage of justice.


    When one¡¯s strength is insufficient, intelligence becomes extremely important.


    This is also why so many teachers gathered here, to grasp information first-hand.


    ¡­


    As the night enveloped the earth, in a villa in Starfire University, within an underground martial arts room.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! A determined-looking young man, wielding a huge cleaver, was constantly battling a training partner, a martial artist, with relentless assaults, his sword techniques forceful and his movements extraordinarily elusive.

    Chapter 262: Chapter 208: Seventh Star Realm Battlefield (Extra 13, 14) _2


    And the Prime Warrior he was fighting, suppressing his own burst of power and speed, continuously defended against the attacks.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Puff!¡± The stocky young man suddenly erupted, the might of his combat saber soared immensely, brutally striking the Prime Warrior¡¯s long sword.


    The terrifying force contained in the combat saber burst forth, sweeping across and making the Prime Warrior stagger back in shock, his face reflecting astonishment as he looked at the stocky young man.


    ¡°Little Tian, have you broken through?¡± The sparring Prime Warrior¡¯s face was filled with joy.


    ¡°Haha, thanks to the teacher,¡± Tian Dazhuang said excitedly, laughing, ¡°Without the teacher¡¯s continuous pressure on me these past days, I would have never broken through so quickly.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally touched subtlety in spirit,¡± Tian Dazhuang¡¯s eyes gleamed.


    ¡°It has nothing to do with my sparring.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve sparred with many students, but how many of them can catch up with you?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s your heart,¡± the Prime Warrior teacher clad in black said with a smile, ¡°Your heart is strong enough, undisturbed by external factors, that¡¯s why you are progressing faster and faster.¡±


    ¡°Everyone says Dantai Feng is very strong, but in my view, your talent is not inferior to his; you just didn¡¯t receive the same early training he did,¡± the teacher in black said with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯m still far from his strength,¡± Tian Dazhuang shook his head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry,¡± the teacher in black said with a smile, ¡°When you entered the school, your skill just barely ranked in the top twenty of your grade, but later you gradually became one of the top ten.¡±


    ¡°As of now, apart from Dantai Feng, you should be the second freshman in our school to have achieved subtlety in spirit. People like Yu Ming, Guan Ying, they are still stuck at the high rank of the Fourth Level.¡±


    ¡°Your progress is getting faster and faster.¡±


    ¡°Given time, you could surpass Dantai Feng,¡± the elder teacher said with a chuckle.


    ¡°Mmm,¡± Tian Dazhuang nodded firmly.


    He, rising all the way from a mountain area, experiencing so much, and if we only talk about the mental tempering of his youth, it¡¯s not inferior to Li Yuan.


    And his comprehension is also extremely astonishing. After entering Starfire University, he finally received the best nurturing, showing sharpness all the way, surpassing one rival after another.


    To have touched subtlety in spirit in just a bit over half a year after entering the university is extremely rare.


    Looking globally, among his peers, he is likely to compete for a place in the top ten or even top five.


    The key is that Tian Dazhuang¡¯s rate of progress is still accelerating.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Tian Dazhuang suddenly felt his smart ring vibrate with astonishment, and couldn¡¯t help but look down at it.


    Immediately, he couldn¡¯t hold back a curse: ¡°Damn! Dantai Feng, that show-off, is showing off again!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Dantai Feng, truly at the Fifth Stage,¡± The purple-clothed woman, Yin Man, glanced at the message, ¡°Three hundred and ten thousand points?¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s his full strength, then it¡¯s not a concern.¡±


    ¡­


    Starry Sky University, inside a villa.


    ¡°Fifth Stage skill?¡±


    A white-clothed young man wielding dual swords, looked at the newly received message, his eyes narrowing slightly: ¡°Just a freshman?¡±


    ¡°I thought that by breaking through to the Fifth Stage skill in my sophomore year, I would be impressive.¡±


    ¡°Is it possible that Sakura Country can never defeat Xia Country?¡± the young man in white said coldly, ¡°No, this time I must break into the top ten or even the top three.¡±


    Bai Chuanming, recognized as the number one talent of his generation in Sakura Country, also carried his nation¡¯s greatest expectations.


    ¡­


    Ross Country, amidst ice and snow.


    ¡°A freshman at the Fifth Stage, really fierce,¡± A bear-like brawny young man, naked to the waist, was practicing Shield Technique, ¡°Xia Country is truly the number one power in the world, a place where talents emerge in an endless stream.¡±


    ¡°Out of the recent ten virtual battles, Xia Countrymen have taken first place in eight, right?¡±


    Nevsky, recognized as the top warrior among third-year students in Ross Country.


    Also, in the virtual combat, the only confirmed Fifth Stage expert from Ross Country.


    ¡­


    Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan¡¯s villa.


    Underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Interesting, very interesting,¡± Li Yuan set down his long spear, looking at the three messages on his hand, and couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    One of the messages was from Li Yang, with information about Dantai Feng, warning Li Yuan to be extra vigilant.


    Another message was from Dantai Feng, ¡°Call me the king of preliminaries¡­ Come to Starfire next time, and Dazhuang and I will treat you to a meal.¡±


    The last one was from Tian Dazhuang, ¡°Li Yuan, keep it up, you must beat that show-off.¡±


    Closing the light screen.


    ¡°I do need to work hard,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile, ¡°I¡¯m improving, but countless geniuses around the globe are also improving.¡±


    Li Yuan never got anxious because his opponents were strong.


    The stronger the opponents, the more geniuses human civilization has given birth to, which is a good thing.


    Besides.


    ¡°Great masters are lonely, as are geniuses,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°Having more super geniuses to collide and duel with can also bring out the fullest potential in us.¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his mind and continued patiently training. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    Dantai Feng¡¯s sudden breakthrough indeed shocked the top talents from around the globe.


    Especially within the three top-tier martial schools, those third-year geniuses still trapped in ¡®subtlety in spirit¡¯ felt even more embarrassed and began training more madly, hoping to progress further before the real contest.


    To be subtle in spirit and at the Fifth Stage of heaven and man, the gap is astonishing.


    In fact.


    On some level, the Seven Stars human civilization keeps holding contests like these to constantly motivate the geniuses of the entire civilization, telling them not to be complacent.


    You are the top talent of a school?


    You are the top talent of your cohort? Then open your eyes and take a good look, there are always people better than you out there.


    If you don¡¯t strive, you¡¯ll be surpassed.


    ¡­


    On the morning of February 9, Li Yuan and countless other contestants who passed the preliminaries, all received an official communique.


    Final confirmation.


    About 420,000 contestants passed the preliminaries, meaning that each Star Realm battlefield will have about 42,000 people.

    ¡°`


    ¡°I¡¯m in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the second round of information, which was the Star Realm battlefield he had been assigned.


    ¡°42,000 people.¡±


    ¡°Over six million people registered, and only 420,000 made it through the preliminaries. The elimination rate is really high,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°And with more than forty thousand people in each Star Realm battlefield, only the top hundred can advance to the ¡®Elimination Round.¡¯ That¡¯s crazy enough.¡±


    In the battlefield, a large number of Star Realm Creatures would also appear. Li Yuan could imagine the fighting would be insane when the time came.


    However.


    ...


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan grabbed his long spear, swiftly turning around. ¡°I want to see who can stop me from taking first place in the battlefield.¡±


    ¡­


    February 10th, 7 p.m. Xia Country time, the highly anticipated virtual battle ¡®Melee Competition¡¯ was about to begin.


    At 6:40 p.m., Li Yuan did not intentionally delay today but instead entered the combat space early.


    Whoosh! A sea of people.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Big Brother.¡±


    Many people turned to look at Li Yuan, brimming with enthusiasm.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite crowded today,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Looking around, this vast Spectator Space seemed much bigger than it did yesterday.


    ¡°Indeed, there are more.¡± Gu Qianghan said with a laugh. ¡°The number of spectators has already surpassed four million¡­ More than half of the students from Martial Arts Universities all over the world have come to watch.¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, which battlefield are you in?¡± Gu Qianghan asked curiously.


    Many students nearby couldn¡¯t help but turn their attention to Li Yuan.


    ¡°The seventh,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯m in the sixth.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m in the third.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m in the same Seventh Star Realm battlefield as Senior Brother,¡± someone said with a broad grin.


    But in reality, everyone present understood that being in the same Star Realm battlefield didn¡¯t matter much.


    With over forty thousand people in each battlefield, the chance of running into each other was very, very low.


    It mainly depended on oneself.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A voice suddenly rang out, followed by a figure flashing over, arriving next to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, looking at the newcomer.


    Suddenly, the others made room for them.


    Almost every student from Kunlun Martial University knew that in this iteration of the virtual battle, the two people before them were the most hopeful candidates from the whole university.


    One was the former number one talent of Kunlun Martial University, with longer training.


    The other had a shorter training period but rose at an astonishing speed.


    ¡°Do you have the confidence to surpass me?¡± Jin Huguo said with a smile.


    ¡°I won¡¯t disappoint Senior Brother,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile. His interactions with Jin Huguo were not many.


    But real kindred spirits don¡¯t need much interaction; they just feel very comfortable when together.


    ¡°Haha, good, I¡¯ll look forward to it,¡± Jin Huguo laughed. ¡°Let¡¯s fight hard together to take first place in our battlefields and make it directly into the finals to bring glory to our university.¡±


    ¡°To bring glory to our university.¡± Li Yuan nodded emphatically.


    The surrounding students from the Sixth Institute were somewhat shocked to hear this. Aiming for first place in the battlefield? Were both of them that formidable?


    ¡­


    Seconds ticked away, and when the time reached 7:55 p.m¡­


    Boom!


    A towering figure in black appeared in the center of the combat space, standing aloft.


    ¡°My dear Spectator friends¡­ with over four million people watching, this iteration of the Global Inter-College Martial Arts Championship virtual battle has once again set a new record for the number of spectators,¡± the black-clad host exclaimed. ¡°What we are about to begin is the ¡®Melee Competition.''¡±


    ¡°In some ways, it¡¯s a super-sized version of the ¡®Cage Melee.''¡±


    ¡°In each battlefield, more than forty thousand competitors will fight one another, with a time limit of four hours or until only one person is left after the elimination.¡±

    ¡°Now I declare, the Melee Competition¡ªStar Realm battlefield, is about to begin.¡±


    ¡°More than 420,000 competitors will soon be transported.¡±


    ¡°Above the combat space, the top hundred Points rankings of each battlefield will appear, along with a total of one hundred broadcast screens, providing live coverage of the exciting contests from each major battlefield¡­ Each spectator will also be able to select any competitor to follow live on their personal screens in front of them, with a maximum of ten concurrent followings.¡±


    ¡°Countdown 10, 9, 8¡­ The Star Realm battlefield, the life-and-death contest, officially begins!!¡± The host¡¯s voice was filled with vigor.


    Boom!


    The entire combat space erupted with earth-shaking, uplifting music, and the entire space instantly echoed with the excited cheers of millions of spectators, boiling with excitement.


    Almost simultaneously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Over four million spectator platforms began to fade out, with about ten percent disappearing.


    All the competitors who passed the preliminaries had been collectively transported.


    The Melee Competition officially began.


    ¡°Quick, let¡¯s follow the competition.¡±


    ¡°I want to watch Dantai Feng.¡±


    ¡°I want to watch Yin Man.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s quickly follow and watch Senior Brother.¡± Instantly, the millions of spectators on the platform began to select their competitors to follow on their personal screens.


    Without a doubt, ¡®Dantai Feng¡¯ would be one of the observed competitors among spectators from nearly every country.


    In terms of fame, Dantai Feng was currently the biggest name.


    Next were Yin Man and Harmon, both of whom performed exceptionally well last year and were among the favorites to win this year¡¯s championship.


    As for Li Yuan? Many spectators from Xia Country would choose to follow him, followed by those from Sakura Country, Tianzhu Country, the South Asian Alliance, and other regions¡­ In the Martial Arts Universities of these regions, Li Yuan was quite well-known.


    ¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s started.¡±


    ¡°I wonder how many Fifth Stage masters will emerge this time¡­¡±


    In the higher-level Spectator Space, tens of thousands of Prime Warriors from around the world had gathered here.


    This kind of competition was a test of the teaching level of the major Martial Arts Universities.


    Every school took it very seriously.


    ¡°Dean Hai is here too?¡± Dean Xu looked at the figure seated in the front row, feeling slightly surprised.


    ¡°`

    Chapter 264: Chapter 208: Seventh Star Realm Battlefield (Extra 13, 14) _4


    She and Li Yang were both top grade origin martial artists, seated in the middle area.


    ¡°Definitely,¡± Li Yang chuckled softly, ¡°this year, our Kunlun Martial University has two fifth stage masters, both hoping to break into the global top twenty, naturally, we must take it seriously.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm,¡± Dean Xu nodded involuntarily.


    In fact, three flying heaven warriors had come from Kunlun Martial University.


    You should know that so far, the total number of flying heaven warriors from all over the world who had come to watch the battles was just over twenty.


    Flying heaven warriors, in a single province of Xia Country, were like the Seas Calming Divine Needle, very rare.


    ...


    But on a global scale, there was still a handful of them.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Without sound or warning, a figure in a black robe appeared in a seat in the front row. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Immediately.


    Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!


    Martial artists like Dean Hai, who had been in discussion, stood up one after another and respectfully said, ¡°Star Master.¡±


    The voices of the dozens of flying heaven warriors were not loud, but they resounded through the Battle Observation Hall, rendering the entire hall silent as a grave.


    In the middle area, tens of thousands of prime warriors in the back area were immensely shocked as they watched this scene.


    Star Master?


    What Star Master could make dozens of flying heaven warriors salute in unison?


    Many top grade origin martial artists saw it clearly, including the chancellors of Starfire University, Starry Sky University, Black Stone University¡­ All three universities¡¯ chancellors had stood up and respectfully saluted.


    Unfortunately!


    No one could see the face of the figure in the black robe; his entire being seemed shrouded in a layer of fog, only the flying heaven warriors in the front row could see his face clearly.


    ¡°Sit down, everyone, I¡¯m just here to watch the battles,¡± the black-robed Star Master said in a hoarse voice, ¡°no need to be so formal.¡±


    This voice, as if imbued with invisible magic power, immediately dispelled the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the Battle Observation Hall.


    The more than twenty flying heaven warriors all sat back down.


    ¡°Wu Lin,¡± the black-robed Star Master said in a low voice.


    ¡°Hall Master,¡± the middle-aged man in a blue robe sitting beside him immediately leaned forward slightly and responded.


    Many of the top grade origin warriors sitting in the middle felt a wave of shock upon hearing this address.


    Wu Lin, a powerful flying heaven warrior, was also the ¡®principal¡¯ of Starfire University.


    In all of Blue Star, he was undeniably a high-ranking figure.


    To be addressed as Hall Master by him,


    The identity of the figure in the black robe was now clear ¡ª he was the ¡®Hall Master¡¯ of the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s Blue Star headquarters.


    ¡°Switch the viewing target to Xia Country¡¯s Kunlun Martial University student Li Yuan, from the Seventh Star Realm battle zone,¡± the black-robed figure instructed indifferently.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Principal Wu Lin nodded, possessing control over the Battle Observation Hall.


    Instantly.


    Swoosh! The giant ¡®light screen projection¡¯ in the distance changed from the previous ten random viewing targets to one large light screen projection accompanied by nine smaller ones.


    In the largest projection,


    Over the vast wilderness, with mountains stretching on, a young man holding a long spear appeared.


    The light screen displayed his name and origin: ¡®Xia Country¡¯s Li Yuan.¡¯


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Who is Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Why switch to watching him?¡±


    ¡°Not sure.¡± Suddenly, a wave of murmuring arose throughout the Battle Observation Hall.


    Tens of thousands of prime warriors from around the world, most of them didn¡¯t recognize Li Yuan.


    In fact, many of the dozens of flying heaven warriors in the front row also didn¡¯t know Li Yuan.


    But now they did, and all turned their attention earnestly to the light screen.


    Someone that the Star Master paid such close attention to must have something special about him, the flying heaven warriors believed.

    Within the Seventh Star Realm battle zone,


    ¡°The Wilderness Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan observed the desolate plains before him, with what seemed like forests in the extreme distance, several mountain ranges obstructing the view, but he could still see a number of figures flickering.

 Chapter 265 - 209 Sweep Along the Way

    Chapter 265: Chapter 209 Sweep Along the Way


    ¡°No, it¡¯s just that this area around me is a wasteland, but overall, the whole battlefield is still a jungle,¡± Li Yuan held the long spear.


    Standing on this small patch of wasteland.


    The Star Realm battlefield essentially simulates Star Realm terrains, which are divided into many kinds of terrains, such as snowfields, deserts, jungles, wastelands, oceans, and so on.


    Of course, in the real Star Realm, some environments are extremely harsh, making it very difficult for Prime Warriors to survive¡­ The simulation battlefield naturally can¡¯t be that extreme.


    ¡°Limited to four hours.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The actual environmental data is actually similar to that of Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan slightly clenched his fist, quickly adapting to his current physical strength. With a thought, he achieved Subtlety: ¡°Strength, speed¡­ indeed, it¡¯s the Fifteenth Level of Physical Quality.¡±


    All contestants have the standard Fifteenth Level of Physical Quality, that is, standard Fist Strength of 12,000 kilograms, Burst Speed of 50 meters per second.


    ¡°Continuous ranges of mountains, this tall, must be to restrict the field of vision,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    In a pure wasteland battlefield, with a Fifteenth Level of Physical Quality, one could easily see more than ten kilometers away. A lot of contestants would discover each other before even getting close and would flee by leaping away.


    Jungle battlefield? Plus so many mountains, there are no such worries.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, with the virtual network, the Spiritual Power each person can use is simulated and limited,¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly: ¡°Otherwise, relying on my strong Spiritual Power, the Perception Ability would be much stronger.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s peripheral vision caught sight of the smart ring on his hand.


    He touched the light screen, where personal Points and rankings were displayed, as well as a detailed set of rules.


    ¡ª¡ª


    Contestant: Li Yuan (Xia Country)


    Base Points: 200


    Starfield points: 0


    Total Points: 200


    Battlefield Ranking: None


    ¡ª¡ª


    Rules for obtaining base points: Defeat other contestants to obtain 50% of their base points; Starfield points are not obtainable.


    Rules for obtaining Starfield points: Kill Star Realm Creatures of level 15.0-15.9 to obtain 1 Starfield point; kill creatures level 16.0-17.9 to obtain 10 points; kill creatures level 18.0 and above to obtain 100 Starfield points, which remain completely intact even in the event of death.


    Total Points Rule: Base Points + Starfield Points equals Total Points.


    Death Rule: Everyone has only one life. If killed by a Star Realm Creature, both base points and Starfield points remain unchanged, and rankings are preserved; if killed by another contestant, base points are halved while Starfield points remain unchanged, and rankings are preserved.


    Advancement Rules: After the melee round ends, the first in total score advances to the final, ranks 2-100 advance to the third elimination round, anyone ranked after 100 is eliminated.


    Note: The entire battlefield is a circular battlefield with a diameter of about 100 kilometers; as time passes, the battlefield¡¯s range will continually shrink, with minimum battlefield diameter reducing to 10 kilometers.


    ¡­


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    ¡°These rules will probably make it hard for many contestants to weigh the pros and cons,¡± Li Yuan revealed a cryptic smile: ¡°Killing Star Realm Creatures earns very low points. One needs to kill a level 18 creature to get 100 points, but for one with Fifteenth Level Physical Quality to challenge a level 18? That¡¯s not something ordinary contestants can do.¡± S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A level 18 Star Realm Creature is three times stronger than a level 15.


    Unless Unity is achieved, making the power and speed surge, even with High Rank Fourth Level techniques, it would be difficult for a Fifteenth Level Physical Quality to win against an 18th Level Star Realm Creature.


    ¡°The advantage is that once Starfield points are obtained, they can never be stripped away. Even if killed by a Star Realm Creature, all points are preserved,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Ultimately, it¡¯s the Points that determine the ranking, not survival.


    If one accumulates enough points early on, there¡¯s a chance of advancing to the elimination round even if one dies early.


    ¡°Killing other contestants, killing just one contestant brings at least 100 points. And as the contest progresses, the living contestants¡¯ accumulated base points can become even more exaggerated, where killing one could yield tens of thousands of points,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°But the downside is, contestants can¡¯t gauge each other¡¯s strengths, and a slightest mistake could lead to being counter-killed, thus losing half their base points.¡±


    The rules may sound complex.


    But at its core, it¡¯s just two phrases¡ªlow risk low reward; high risk high reward.


    It all depends on the contestants¡¯ personal choices.


    Choice is also a form of mental tempering.


    ¡°Choice?¡± Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile: ¡°Whether they are contestants or Star Realm Creatures, anything that crosses my path shall be slain.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Suddenly, Li Yuan sensed an odd disturbance in the distance.


    Even without great Spiritual Power, his Perception Ability, enhanced by the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, was much stronger than that of an average contestant.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure suddenly moved, turning into a streak of shadow, and rushed directly towards the distant wasteland.


    After only seven or eight seconds, he went around a ridge.


    ¡°Hunting Star Realm Creatures?¡± At a glance, Li Yuan saw a burly man wielding a Combat Saber, fighting a large group of Star Realm Creatures that resembled wild yaks.


    The flash of the saber flickered, one yak after another fell to the ground.


    ¡°A Fourth Level expert?¡± Li Yuan smirked, his speed unabated, he directly charged towards the burly man.


    ¡°Seeking death!¡± The burly man was also powerful, he roared.


    He had sensed Li Yuan¡¯s approach early on; with a fierce stomp of his combat boots, he kicked a wild yak to the side and immediately used the momentum to charge at Li Yuan like lightning.


    Whoosh!


    The burly man leaped up, his Combat Saber ferociously chopping down towards Li Yuan, with a saber light so sharp it made the air tremble violently.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    The two figures, one high and one low, crossed each other, a streak of Spear Light flashed by, a head soared high, and a copious amount of blood spurted from the chest cavity.


    Thump~ Thump~


    The headless body fell heavily, followed by the head hitting the ground and rolling, eyes filled with shock and disbelief until death.

    Chapter 266: Chapter 209 Sweep Along the Way_2


    ¡°`


    He, a fourth-level expert, should have had a chance to break into the top 1000 in the entire battlefield.


    He might even have gone further.


    Yet, he died less than a minute after entering the Star Realm battlefield?


    ¡°Very weak.¡±


    ¡°This kind of battlefield environment does have a certain tempering effect on third or even fourth-level experts, but it¡¯s indeed not very significant for me.¡± Li Yuan killed the opponent with one move, his heart unfazed.


    ...


    ¡°Boom~¡± ¡°Boom~¡± ¡°Boom~¡± the ground trembled.


    These Star Realm creatures, stepping over the headless corpse, immediately rushed towards Li Yuan in a frenzy.


    Splurt! Swoosh~! Swoosh! Li Yuan waved his long spear in his hand, with spear light dancing, the multitude of Star Realm creatures, that looked like wild yaks, kept on dying as they charged at him.


    They couldn¡¯t even touch Li Yuan.


    ¡°These Star Realm creatures are generally at the initial stage of second-level skills, about the same as the true Alien Race of the Star Realm.¡± Li Yuan assessed the strength of these Star Realm creatures.


    Most of the Star Realm creatures, with low intelligence, largely fight on instinct, and their combat skills are naturally weak.


    In just tens of seconds, the remaining nearly hundred Star Realm creatures were all killed by Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan checked the smart ring on his wrist.


    ¡ª-


    Contestant: Li Yuan (Xia Country)


    Base points: 300


    Starfield points: 89


    Total points: 389


    Battlefield ranking: 1834


    ¡­¡±To have killed so many in such a short time and only rank a little over a thousand? It seems that right at the start of the competition, there¡¯s already quite a bit of fighting among each other.¡± Li yuan muttered to himself, ¡°However, my goal is to be the first in the battlefield and directly enter the finals.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s keep killing.¡±


    ¡­


    The smart ring provided a rough directional guide. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan casually chose a direction to move forward, quickly leaving the wilderness behind and entering a forested area.


    In the forested terrain, the rocky mountains and tall trees provided excellent cover for concealing one¡¯s tracks.


    Over forty thousand people, scattered across a circular battlefield with a diameter of about 100 kilometers, was actually very sparse; logically, unless a battle erupted, it would be quite difficult to detect each other¡¯s traces.


    Unfortunately, Li Yuan was one of the very few exceptions.


    ¡°Come out.¡± Li Yuan, like a shooting star, suddenly plunged, his long spear hissing as it thrust straight toward a large tree.


    Whoosh! A figure darted from behind the tree, franticly fleeing to one side, his face showing a mix of shock and anger.


    He didn¡¯t recognize Li Yuan, but that didn¡¯t prevent him from judging from Li Yuan¡¯s burst speed¡ªthat this was a super expert.


    Whosh!


    The spear thrust that seemed direct suddenly shifted, lightning-fast circling around the tree, and violently piercing through the fleeing figure¡¯s neck, blood spraying.


    Dead!


    Splurt~! The long spear retracted, and the body heavily fell onto the grass.


    ¡°You must be curious how I discovered you.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°I couldn¡¯t see you, but your breathing gave you away.¡±


    The perception of Unity of Heaven and Man was too keen.


    ¡­


    In the higher levels of the Spectator Space, with over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors and dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors from around the globe watching,


    Aside from tracking some they ¡®fancied¡¯, they were also paying attention to the figure of the young man in black on the distant, gigantic screen.


    Li Yuan?


    With a Star Master personally descending to watch, what was so special about this Li Yuan?


    And when they saw Li Yuan consecutively find and effortlessly kill one contestant after another, easily wiping out a large number of Star Realm creatures,


    ¡°Fifth level.¡±


    ¡°He must have fifth-level skills.¡±


    ¡°This Li Yuan must have reached the unity of man and heaven at the fifth level, otherwise his perception wouldn¡¯t be so strong, nor his spear technique so formidable.¡±


    ¡°It seems he is a freshman.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Right, a freshman, in the same batch as Dantai Feng,¡± many Prime Warriors¡ªeven Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¡ªwere already discussing in low voices, filled with wonder and shock.


    Martial Artists from the age of 18 often saw their physical quality skyrocket, their foundations constantly improve, and their skill breakthroughs becoming increasingly easier.


    Therefore, reaching the Fifth Stage as a freshman and stepping into the Fifth Stage as a sophomore were completely different concepts.


    The latter is strong too, with the potential to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, a top-tier genius among their peers across Blue Star.


    But the former is absolutely the top-tier genius among their peers, looking across the entire Seven Star Alliance and the Seven Great Planets.


    The emergence of a Dantai Feng among the freshman class had already shaken all Martial Arts Universities around the world, and now another one had popped up?


    ¡°Fifth Stage?¡±


    ¡°To be on the same level as Dantai Feng? Indeed, a once-in-an-age genius, extremely formidable.¡±


    ¡°However, just based on this, it shouldn¡¯t be worth the Star Master personally coming to watch the melee battle, right? The finals would be more like it.¡± Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors were surprised by Li Yuan¡¯s strength, but they also harbored doubts.


    Whether it was Dantai Feng or Li Yuan, while they had the potential to become top-tier Flying Heaven Warriors, they were ultimately just that¡ªpotentials, still only geniuses.


    But the Star Master was already at the pinnacle of human civilization.


    ¡­


    The combat space where students from millions of Martial Arts Universities around the world were located was buzzing with voices.


    Everyone was watching tensely, all while keeping an eye on the rankings above.


    ¡°So many talents.¡±


    ¡°I thought our institute¡¯s Senior Brother was awesome, but as soon as he took to the field, he got taken out by a single spear thrust from someone named Li Yuan,¡± complained a student from Europa.


    As spectators, they could see the identity information of the combatants.


    ¡°Strong!¡±


    ¡°Dantai Feng is truly fierce, taking down any opponent with a single strike, truly deserving of being Xia Country¡¯s strongest genius.¡±


    ¡°Yin Man is also impressive.¡±


    ¡°In the leaderboard of the top hundred from each Star Realm battlefield, our Xia Country¡¯s experts account for more than 30%, and nearly one-third of the broadcast top hundred are from our Xia Country.¡± Students from Xia Country were incredibly excited and exceedingly proud.


    This kind of competition was a time when the sense of honor was extremely strong.


    The hundred screens broadcasting in the entire combat space showed the top ten from each battlefield, and adding up ten battlefields made up the hundred.


    ¡°Haha, our Silla Country¡¯s Han Haochang is really formidable; he¡¯s already made it to ninth in the seventh battlefield,¡± some students from Silla Country were overwhelmingly excited.


    ¡°We believe in Han Haochang, he will surely become the number one on the battlefield! He¡¯ll advance directly to the finals.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Senior Brother is very strong.¡±


    ¡°No one can stop Senior Brother.¡±


    ¡°From what I¡¯ve seen so far, not a single one can withstand a spear from Li Yuan,¡± said the tens of thousands of watching students from Kunlun Martial University, most concerned about Li Yuan, Jin Huguo.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin has charged to sixth place on the first Star Realm battlefield, Senior Brother Jin is even more fierce.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is powerful, but his battlefield ranking is only eighty-sixth, not too high up in front, which is somewhat inferior to Senior Brother Jin.¡±


    ¡°The melee battles have just begun, Li Yuan¡¯s random location was rather far out, encountering fewer opponents, which is why his score isn¡¯t too high.¡±


    ¡°We believe in Senior Brother; he will surely rush into the top twenty or even the top ten later on,¡± discussed the students from Kunlun Martial University.


    The students of Kunlun Martial University basically still thought that Jin Huguo was stronger.


    Even the freshmen from the Sixth Institute subconsciously believed that Li Yuan was slightly inferior.


    It wasn¡¯t without reason!


    The reputation that Jin Huguo had built up before was simply too great, and Li Yuan¡¯s rise to fame was just too short.


    ¡ª¡ª


    (The following is added after publication, not included in the word count for charging.)


    ps: Regarding merging chapters, I will explain once.


    My daily updates are based on a standard of 3,000 words per chapter.


    For example, if I update three chapters today, I will ensure a total word count of over nine thousand words; if it¡¯s four chapters today, I will make sure that the total is more than twelve thousand words, but the specific word count might be four thousand for one chapter, or less than three thousand for another.


    Like yesterday, including the merged chapters, it was a total of 1.4 ten thousand words.


    Also, why merge chapters? I don¡¯t shy away from admitting that it¡¯s to push for a hundred thousand subscribers. Right now, the average subscription is nearing seventy thousand, and if I update too many chapters in a short time, the average won¡¯t climb.


    In the future, I might merge three into one, or even four into one, or five into one, it¡¯s not impossible.


    Thanks for the brothers¡¯ support!

 Chapter 267 - 210: Breaking into the Top Ten

    Chapter 267: Chapter 210: Breaking into the Top Ten


    The ninth Star Realm battlefield.


    A handsome young man was frantically fleeing across the continuous mountain tops, his face filled with panic.


    Whoosh! Behind him, a woman in purple with an imposing aura brandished her long sword, relentlessly pursuing him.


    ¡°Damn it.¡±


    ¡°How could I be so unlucky to run into Yin Man, the Great Demon King, so soon?¡± Gu Qianghan felt like crying; his combat skills were only close to a high-rank Third Stage.


    Passing the preliminary round was very tough for him, so he never dreamt of making it into the elimination round.


    ...


    Because of this, he had been ¡®lying low¡¯ earlier, simply hoping to survive a bit longer and brag about it later to others.


    Unexpectedly, while he was clearly hiding behind a giant rock, Yin Man seemed to have sensed him from afar and charged straight over to kill him.


    ¡°Stop running.¡±


    ¡°Fleeing is futile.¡± Yin Man¡¯s form flashed like lightning, rapidly closing in on Gu Qianghan.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Gu Qianghan suddenly rolled over, his long spear bursting forth explosively from above his head, furiously thrusting toward the purple figure behind him.


    This spear thrust was as swift as lightning!


    Turnabout Spear!


    ¡°Puchi~¡± The purple figure slightly shifted and easily dodged the spear, her sword flashed, and a head flew into the air.


    Gu Qianghan, dead!


    The corpse fell heavily to the ground.


    ¡°Only 100 points? Such a newbie, never killed even one opponent.¡±


    ¡°Next.¡± Yin Man moved, continuing to fly swiftly toward the distance, never taking this inconspicuous fellow seriously from start to finish.


    ¡­


    Above the spectator platform of the great tournament space.


    Swish! Gu Qianghan appeared out of thin air, his face still showing a trace of fright.


    That sword strike was too fast and too fierce, absolutely the most stunning he had ever seen.


    ¡°Gu Qiang, you failed too?¡± A voice that took delight in his misfortune reached Gu Qianghan¡¯s ear.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Gu Qianghan snorted coldly: ¡°An Nong, I was eliminated after you.¡±


    ¡°So what?¡± An Nong said with a grin: ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know; I¡¯ve been following and watching your fight all this time. Just like me, you didn¡¯t kill anyone before getting instantly killed.¡±


    ¡°Damn.¡± Gu Qianghan cursed with a laugh.


    ¡°How¡¯s Brother Yuan doing?¡± Gu Qianghan asked straightaway.


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t broken into the top hundred of the battlefield yet, but he¡¯s close,¡± replied An Nong, pointing to his own subjective combat screen. ¡°Our eldest apprentice brother¡¯s ranking is steadily climbing.¡±


    ¡°Well, I hope Brother Yuan can make it into the top ten of the battlefield,¡± said Gu Qianghan.


    Time passed, and more and more contestants were eliminated.


    After being eliminated, most would return to their spectator seats to continue watching the competition.


    ¡­


    Inside the battlefield of the Seventh Star Realm, in an area to the east.


    Boom! Boom! S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the valley between two mountain ranges.


    More than ten contestants were joining forces to attack a large number of Star Realm Creatures resembling Moon Demon wolves at levels 15 and 16.


    They cooperated with each other, causing one giant wolf after another to fall, leaving carcasses scattered everywhere.


    Contestants who passed the preliminary round had skills at least at the Intermediate Rank Third Stage, and it was fairly easy for them to fight against level 16 Star Realm Creatures alone, not to mention now that over ten people were working together, making their combined strength even more formidable.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh! A figure in black clothing suddenly swooped down from high in the valley.


    His speed was astonishing, easily soaring over 50 meters per second.


    To know, a martial artist¡¯s maximum burst speed on flat ground compared to their traveling speed in mountainous and valley terrain is absolutely a different story.


    ¡°Someone¡¯s coming?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re coming for us.¡± The more than ten contestants collaborating to hunt the creatures immediately noticed the figure in black clothing.


    ¡°Friend, we just want to join forces for self-preservation, killing Star Realm Creatures for points, and we don¡¯t wish to engage with you,¡± shouted the leader, clad in purple Combat Armor, after he sliced a giant wolf dead, his voice booming with a hint of threat as he watched the black figure diving down.


    However.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The plunging black figure said nothing, speeding up even more instead.


    ¡°Seeking death!¡±


    ¡°Kill! We don¡¯t believe we can¡¯t kill him with so many of us.¡± The figure in purple Combat Armor became furious.


    Whoosh! He sprang into the air, Combat Saber in hand, and charged to meet the attack.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill him!¡± The more than ten contestants originally fighting the Star Realm Creatures immediately let go of the giant wolves and rushed over to join the fight.


    Teaming up was a normal strategy.


    This was tacitly permitted by the higher-ups of the Seven Star Alliance.


    In such chaotic Star Realm battlefields, if you had strong organizational abilities to rally hundreds or even thousands to join forces, that was also considered skill.


    However, since only one hundred could advance to the elimination round, contestants usually formed small groups of a few or perhaps a dozen at most.


    It was rare to have hundreds joining forces; it was meaningless.


    In the blink of an eye, the two sides drew near.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± Figures intermingled, the black figure¡¯s form flickering as he easily dodged an onslaught of weapon strikes, following which his long spear erupted violently, creating a myriad of spear shadows.


    Plop! Plop! Plop! Blood sprayed, and figures dropped one by one.


    In a single encounter, six contestants, all struck in the neck by the spear, were killed.


    Their bodies tumbled onto the ground.


    Cutting down enemies like mowing grass.


    ¡°Thinking you could fight me instead of running at first sight.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression was indifferent; his speed not diminished at all.


    He set his gaze on the remaining eight figures and suddenly flashed a brilliant smile: ¡°Aren¡¯t you running yet?¡±


    ¡°Run.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s a master of Subtlety.¡±


    ¡°Run.¡± The remaining eight contestants had completely lost their minds, each of them turning to flee.


    The extraordinarily capable young man clad in purple Combat Armor, whom they regarded as powerful, was instantly killed by a single spear thrust?


    They instantly considered Li Yuan to be a master of Subtlety.


    Such masters were very rare in any Star Realm battlefield and definitely counted as great experts.


    ¡°Haha, running now, isn¡¯t it a bit late?¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan¡¯s form flashed like lightning, chasing and killing some of the contestants. In his Unity of Heaven and Man state, his speed was much faster than theirs.

    Chapter 268: Chapter 210: Breaking into the Top Ten_2


    One figure after another fell.


    Li Yuan¡¯s points were soaring.


    His ranking on the battlefield was skyrocketing.


    ¡­


    On the spectator platform of the tournament space,


    ¡°Senior brother is now ranked 62nd,¡± An Nong said excitedly, suddenly slapping Gu Qianghan on the shoulder, ¡°Old Gu, see, I told you senior brother would burst forth.¡±


    ... S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s 48th now!!¡± Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes also shone brightly, ¡°Brother Yuan is amazing.¡±


    ¡°Damn, in one encounter, six combatants all died, up to 37th now!!¡± Many students from Kunlun Martial University who hadn¡¯t been able to participate in the battle and had been continuously following Li Yuan¡¯s progress were now ecstatic.


    It was too brutal.


    From their spectator view, Li Yuan was killing everyone he met.


    No matter whether they were teamed up or not, no matter the number of people, or whether they were experts or not.


    One word, kill! Kill them all! An insane frenzy! His ranking was exploding.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s so badass, already breaking into the top forty, and he¡¯s only a freshman,¡±


    ¡°Though he¡¯s not as fierce as Dantai Feng, he¡¯s still impressive.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s just a freshman, and already so powerful, maybe next year as a sophomore he could even rush into the top ten in the finals,¡± many students from Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country, especially the freshmen, were also paying attention to Li Yuan.


    In the previous top ten freshman battle, Li Yuan¡¯s performance was already fierce.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    Situated in the Jiangbei Martial University¡¯s viewing area, Li Tianyou was also staring at the screen, inwardly shocked, ¡°No wonder Professor Ming said, looking globally, Li Yuan has the prospect of breaking into the top hundred.¡±


    ¡°It looks like, Li Yuan has grown much stronger since the top ten freshman battle,¡±


    ¡­


    In the battlefield of the Seventh Star Realm,


    midway up a high mountain, the booming waterfall constantly fell into a deep pool downwind, churning up countless waves.


    On the cliff, a fierce fight was erupting.


    A blond young man wielding a battle axe and a dark-skinned young man with a combat saber were teaming up to attack a spirited young woman wielding twin swords.


    The intense fight between the three figures, with terrifying power bursting forth, caused huge boulders to fly up.


    ¡°Guan Ying, just give up.¡±


    ¡°You already lost to me in the last top ten freshman battle, this time you¡¯re still going to lose,¡± the dark-skinned young man said firmly, his twin sabers flowing endlessly like water, displaying incredible toughness,


    keeping Guan Ying from breaking free.


    ¡°Face me one-on-one if you dare,¡± Guan Ying gritted her teeth, she was nearly going crazy with rage.


    During the top ten freshman battle, she lost to Vikram, which was embarrassing enough.


    Unexpectedly, in the global college Martial Arts tournament virtual battle, she once again faced Vikram.


    Worse, he even brought along an axe technique expert.


    ¡°Starfire University¡¯s junior sister, admit defeat,¡± the blond young man shouted angrily, his battle axe suddenly exploded with speed, becoming significantly faster, with its power growing increasingly terrifying.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Vikram¡¯s saber technique also grew increasingly swift.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± The three exchanged blows like lightning, and Guan Ying managed to withstand dozens more moves.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Suddenly an axe swept by, carrying formidable force and heavily slashing down, Guan Ying could no longer resist, and the long swords in her hands were thrown up in the air.


    ¡°Thud!¡±


    A sudden strike of the saber streaked past, directly across her neck, and she fell heavily to the ground.


    Starfire University¡¯s martial arts prodigy, Guan Ying, was defeated.


    Quiet returned to the cliff.


    ¡°Malfoy, thank you,¡± Vikram sheathed his sabers and smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve obtained over six thousand points, which lets me quickly approach the top twenty.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t make much difference,¡± the blond young man Malfoy replied indifferently, ¡°We¡¯ve already rushed into the top thirty, just surviving till the end will let us enter the knockout round.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, with our strength, when together, as long as we don¡¯t encounter some of the freakishly top-tier competitors, sweeping through the entire Star Realm battlefield shouldn¡¯t be an issue,¡± Vikram grinned.


    ¡°Yeah,¡± Malfoy nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The two turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the forest.


    ¡­


    ¡°Guan Ying actually lost.¡±


    ¡°Last time she lost to Vikram, and now she¡¯s lost again.¡±


    ¡°This is so disappointing,¡± because of the top ten freshman battle, Guan Ying¡¯s reputation was much higher than that of the average Starfire University student.


    Additionally, with Guan Ying¡¯s high ranking, many Xia Country students on the spectator platform of the tournament space were paying attention to this fight.


    ¡°One-on-one, Guan Ying might not necessarily lose.¡±


    ¡°But that Malfoy is a top-notch expert from Europa and a student from Black Stone University¡­ It¡¯s pretty normal for them to team up and defeat Guan Ying,¡± most Xia Country students were still quite rational.


    ¡­¡±Haha, we won!¡±


    ¡°Vikram won, he¡¯s killed that Xia Country girl twice now, truly an elite among Tianzhu Country¡¯s young generation.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve always felt Vikram could rival Kunale and Raja in the future; after all, he¡¯s only a freshman,¡± the students from Tianzhu Country watching the battle were extremely excited.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Look quickly.¡±


    ¡°Vikram and Malfoy are about to encounter Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan? Is that the same Li Yuan from Xia Country who defeated Garava in the last top ten freshman battle?¡± Many students from Tianzhu immediately took notice of this scene.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan! Li Yuan has run into Malfoy and Vikram.¡±


    ¡°Both Malfoy and Vikram are top thirty ranked powerhouses on the battlefield, and according to ranking, Li Yuan seems to be significantly lower.¡± Many students from Xia Country also paid attention to this battle.


    ¡­


    ¡°Senior brother.¡±


    ¡°Two against one, just now Guan Ying lost, can senior brother win?¡±


    ¡°With Li Yuan¡¯s strength, he should be able to win, right?¡± Many students from Kunlun Martial University were also watching this battle intently, their eyes glued to their screens.


    Actually, most spectators, limited by their vision, couldn¡¯t really tell whether a competitor had achieved Subtlety or Unity of Heaven and Man.


    They mostly judged strength based on the point ranking.


    For many students, both Malfoy and Vikram had a higher point ranking than Li Yuan, and they were teaming up¡­ so naturally, Li Yuan was in danger.

    But mere seconds later,


    ¡°The eldest senior brother has taken the initiative to kill.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is so fierce.¡±


    ¡°Vikram has fled! He and Malfoy have directly escaped.¡± A series of astonished and shocked cries erupted from the Spectator Platform.


    ¡­


    Inside the battlefield of the Seventh Star Realm,


    ...


    within the mountain woods,


    ¡°Vikram, why run?¡± Li Yuan laughed heartily.


    His figure flickered like lightning, his speed astonishing as he chased after the fleeing Malfoy and Vikram.


    ¡°You are at the Subtlety Stage; if I don¡¯t run, am I waiting to die?¡± Vikram gritted his teeth.


    He had witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s duel with Dantai Feng at the tournament for new students from ten schools.


    Malfoy, at his side, was equally shocked; he had previously known little about Li Yuan.


    But just from the speed Li Yuan had demonstrated, Malfoy could tell that Li Yuan was terrifyingly strong,


    absolutely towering over both of them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how about sparing us? I am willing to give you the information on Fifth Stage experts I know so that you can avoid them,¡± Vikram said anxiously, not wanting to die at that moment.


    Although he was among the top twenty or so now,


    once dead, he would lose half his base points.


    Ultimately, it was very probable that he would drop out of the top one hundred in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield and be directly eliminated.


    ¡°Avoid?¡±


    Li Yuan laughed, ¡°Why would I need to avoid? On the contrary, I hope the Fifth Stage experts will come to me.¡±


    ¡°It saves time.¡±


    The expressions on Vikram and Malfoy¡¯s faces changed, they had seen arrogance, but never to this extent.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan finally closed in, his terrifying aura making Malfoy¡¯s heart tremble with fear. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Vikram, we have to fight with everything we¡¯ve got.¡± Malfoy suddenly bellowed: ¡°If we don¡¯t fight, we¡¯re all going to die.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Vikram clenched his teeth, continuing to be pursued with such overpowering momentum,


    left them no hope of surviving,


    A desperate struggle might just save them.


    ¡°So you¡¯ve reached the Subtlety Stage? I don¡¯t believe you can be that strong.¡± A hint of madness flashed in Vikram¡¯s eyes.


    He suddenly turned around,


    followed by layers of blade light that erupted suddenly, pouring toward Li Yuan who was in hot pursuit.


    ¡°Hah!¡± Malfoy also let out an angry shout, swinging his great axe with the force of thunder, turning around and striking directly at Li Yuan.


    Both mighty warriors burst forth simultaneously.


    ¡°That¡¯s more like it,¡± Li Yuan grinned.


    ¡°Swish! Swish!¡± In the instant Vikram erupted, Li Yuan had already approached at great speed, followed by an explosive launch of his spear.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spear, shooting out after yet arriving first!


    Even faster!


    Two streams of Spear Light glided across the Vast Sky, so fast it was unbelievable, instilling an involuntary fear in the eyes of Malfoy and Vikram.


    Danger!


    Extreme danger!


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Puff!¡± The two flashes of Spear Light disappeared as quickly as they had appeared, penetrating straight through the necks of Malfoy and Vikram.


    Thump~ Thump~


    Two bodies fell to the ground.


    Malfoy and Vikram, dead!


    ¡°Impressive.¡±


    ¡°Two working together forced me to use two spears,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, walking forward with large strides: ¡°Hmm, the two of you have contributed over thirty thousand points to me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally broken into the top ten of the battlefield points.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Vikram and Malfoy were killed in a single encounter?¡±


    ¡°Is this Li Yuan really that strong?¡± A vast number of students watching the battle from Tianzhu Country and Europa were dumbfounded.


    ¡­


    ¡°Awesome!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, impressive!!¡± In the Xia Country¡¯s viewing area, there was a wave of excitement.


    ¡­


    In the grand tournament space, the number of spectators had already exceeded 5 million.


    At the highest point, one of the hundred projected screens suddenly flickered and changed to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan from Xia Country! He¡¯s now seventh in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, surpassing Han Haochang.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s even more formidable than our Silla Country¡¯s Han Haochang?¡±


    ¡°Seventh place, Li Yuan.¡± Immediately, a multitude of viewers from around the world noticed the ranking change on the grand tournament space above.


    Being in the top ten in the Star Realm battlefield versus the top hundred was an entirely different concept.

    ¡°`


    Watching the frenzied slaughter between Harmon, wielding his combat saber, on the projection screen, hundreds of spectators in the competition space held their breath.


    The saber is known as the ¡°guts of all weapons.¡±


    In a sense, it¡¯s because close combat with a saber is the most insane and brutal, far from the gentlemanly elegance of long spears and swords.


    Especially at this moment, when both fighters are Fifth Stage experts, resembling War Gods, their clash is a true combination of violence and art that makes one¡¯s blood boil with excitement.


    ¡°Jin Huguo is at a disadvantage,¡±


    ...


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin is in trouble,¡± the students from Kunlun Martial University watched with extreme nervousness, silently praying.


    Even though Li Yuan had shown Fifth Stage strength, reigning almost invincible on the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, subconsciously, most students from Kunlun Martial University still believed Jin Huguo was a notch stronger and the biggest hope of Kunlun Martial University in this virtual fight.


    ¡°That Harmon is so strong; the number one talent from the United States?¡±


    ¡°Hang in there, Jin Huguo,¡± millions of Xia Country¡¯s spectators also stared intently, hoping for a miracle to happen.


    In a sense, this is a battle for glory.


    In this global competition, each participant represents not only themselves but also their school and their country.


    Everyone hopes that the Martial Path geniuses from their country can be invincible on the battlefield.


    ¡°How can Harmon be so strong and not yet have killed this Xia Country man?¡±


    ¡°Is this Jin Huguo really that strong?¡± A great number of spectators from the United States and Europa were paying close attention.


    Harmon¡¯s fame in the United States and Europa is very great, and many students admire him a lot.


    The fact that Jin Huguo has been able to fight Harmon for this long has already exceeded many people¡¯s expectations.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Harmon is going to win,¡± a spectator from the United States brightened up and shouted loudly.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin is in danger,¡±


    ¡°Be careful, Jin Huguo!¡± millions of Xia Country¡¯s spectators cried out in alarm, reaching the peak of nervousness.


    ¡­


    On the First Star Realm battlefield, atop the continuous and vast mountain ranges.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±¡±Whoosh!¡±¡±Whoosh!¡± A series of terrifying saber techniques erupted from Harmon, who had completely entered the Unity of Heaven and Man state. Each strike seemed divinely assisted, incredibly powerful, and completely overwhelmed Jin Huguo.


    When Jin Huguo¡¯s arms went numb and blood began to ooze from his tiger¡¯s mouth, just as he seemed unable to hold on any longer,


    ¡°Let¡¯s die together!¡± Jin Huguo suddenly roared angrily. His figure rushed forward to meet the incoming overhead strike, his combat saber ready for a straight thrust.


    As if vowing to fight to the death.


    ¡°You die,¡± Harmon¡¯s face twisted ferociously. He was taller, his combat saber was bigger and heavier, and he didn¡¯t dodge at all.


    The saber was as quick as lightning.


    ¡°Thrust~¡± Jin Huguo narrowly dodged the direct attack, but then a slash of saber light mercilessly chopped down on his shoulder, his arm flew off, and blood spurted.


    However, just as his arm was brutally severed,


    Whoosh~ Jin Huguo¡¯s combat saber flew from his hand like a lightning bolt, soaring out like a thrown weapon.


    At such a close distance!! Harmon had no means of evasion.


    ¡°Thud~¡± The formidable saber plunged directly into Harmon¡¯s abdomen following the gaps in his armor, instantly causing blood to splatter everywhere.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Another flash of saber light streaked like lightning; Jin Huguo¡¯s body was torn, and he died.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    Harmon took a deep breath, looked down at his wound where the big saber was deeply embedded in his organs, blood gushing profusely, feeling his life rapidly slipping away.


    Looking at Jin Huguo¡¯s body, now torn apart, S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Metal,¡± Harmon said solemnly, muttering to himself, ¡± I underestimated you.¡±


    ¡°Your strength has indeed become terrifying.¡±


    ¡°If we fight again, I definitely won¡¯t take you lightly,¡± Harmon thought to himself.


    The Star Realm battlefield is a complete simulation of reality.


    Therefore, once injured, one can¡¯t recover quickly.


    Especially with an injury like Harmon¡¯s, continuing on would lead to certain death.


    Even if he only had the physical quality of a level 15, even a Prime Warrior would die without treatment.


    Just seconds later,


    A huge level 16 Star Realm Creature swooped by and charged at Harmon with a roar.


    Even with severe injuries, Harmon should have no problem avoiding it with the strength he had left.


    But Harmon allowed the massive Star Realm Creature to charge at him, and he died instantly.


    Being killed by a Star Realm Creature, all his base points and Starfield points were preserved, keeping his total points unchanged.


    After all.


    On the First Star Realm battlefield, Harmon¡¯s total points were still in first place, far ahead of the second place.


    Meanwhile, Jin Huguo had dropped to sixth place, but with less than an hour left in the melee, securing a position in the top hundred with his remaining points was not difficult.


    ¡­


    This battle deeply shook millions of spectators; no one expected the fight to be so fierce.


    Jin Huguo was killed first.


    Harmon was also seriously injured by Jin Huguo¡¯s last counterattack and ended up allowing himself to be killed by a Star Realm Creature.


    In a sense, both sides could be considered to have died together.


    ¡°Harmon almost lost to that Xia Country man,¡±


    ¡°That Xia Country man wasn¡¯t noticeable before, but he has such terrifying strength. With Yin Man, Dantai Feng, Li Yuan, Zhu Tong¡­ My goodness! Can Harmon emerge victorious against their siege and take first place?¡± Spectators from the United States and Europa felt a bit panicked.


    Just one Jin Huguo was so formidable, what about Xia Country¡¯s other top masters?


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity for Jin Huguo; he was so close to having a chance to kill Harmon,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s quite a pity,¡± the majority of Xia Country¡¯s spectators felt regret, but most of them were still quite rational.


    Before the duel, most people felt Harmon was likely a bit stronger.

    Jin Huguo being able to fight to this extent with his opponent had already exceeded the expectations of most people.


    ¡­


    In the higher-level Spectator Space.


    ¡°Jin Huguo lost,¡± Li Yang sighed.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be done. In previous predictions, Harmon was expected to challenge for the top spot,¡± Dean Xu said calmly, ¡°For Jin Huguo to severely injure Harmon, forcing him to withdraw from the competition, is already quite an achievement.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ...


    Li Yang nodded and continued to watch the screen, ¡°It¡¯s up to Li Yuan now. There¡¯s a high probability that he and Hoffman will have a battle.¡±


    ¡°I expect they will, the system will guide them subtly,¡± said Dean Xu, ¡°These Fifth Stage elites, by the last phase of the melee, will mostly seek each other out for duels.¡±


    Having been deans for decades, they were very aware of some of the underlying rules of virtual combat.


    What¡¯s the purpose of the great tournament? Firstly, it is to select the top elite fighters fairly and justly, which is why those at the Fifth Stage are not directly sent to the finals.


    This is a rule set by Dongfang Ji.


    Whenever huge rewards are involved, if protection is possible, there¡¯s a possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation.


    An open tournament aims to avoid unfairness as much as possible.


    Just like the college entrance exam, unless granted a special exemption by the Star Master, everyone must pass the exam to enter various levels of Martial Arts Universities.


    Secondly, it is to temper and make many top talents compete against each other.


    The confrontation of talents is not only a stimulus for them but also for countless ordinary spectators.


    Therefore, often during the melee phase.


    Once a Star Realm battlefield has several Fifth Stage elites, it mostly leads to battles among those at the Fifth Stage.


    This kind of highly-watched showdown and private sparring provides a completely different form of mental tempering for the contestants.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and the battlefield area began to shrink further.


    From a diameter of 50 kilometers, it gradually reduced to 30 kilometers.


    The surviving contestants, many of them, began another round of large-scale fighting as they collided with each other in motion.


    ¡­


    When the time reached 11:25 PM, at the Spectator Platform belonging to Starry Sky University.


    Whoosh! A figure in a fiery red robe appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°Yue Yue sister.¡±


    A crisp voice sounded next to her, it was Wu Dongdong, who couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You¡¯re really unlucky; you just ran into Yin Man. Otherwise, you would have had a good chance of making it into the top hundred.¡±


    The fiery red-robed figure was none other than Lin Lanyue, who also participated in the tournament along with Wu Dongdong.


    Before the tournament, Lin Lanyue had even communicated with Li Yuan a couple of times.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t make much difference,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a light smile, ¡°With my current skills barely into the Fourth Level high rank, even with good luck, I would have just barely broken into the top hundred¡­ In the elimination matches, I was destined to be eliminated.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Wu Dongdong nodded slightly.


    In a melee, some luck is involved¡­ but in the elimination round, with 990 people fighting for only ten final spots, each person must go through at least eight rounds of battle, leaving almost no factor of luck.


    ¡°How about the others?¡± Lin Lanyue smiled.


    ¡°I know who you want to see,¡± Wu Dongdong said with a smile, ¡°Your brother was eliminated much faster than I, and as for Li Yuan¡­ his strength is even more terrifying than during the newcomer battle of the ten schools, and he¡¯s now a Fifth Stage elite, probably no weaker than Dantai Feng.¡±


    ¡°Has he reached Unity of Heaven and Man at the Fifth Stage?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes lit up.


    She could only see Li Yuan¡¯s score soaring on the leaderboard while on the battlefield, unable to see the specific details of the battles.


    Before this, despite her multiple communications with Li Yuan, she was not aware that he had reached Unity of Heaven and Man.


    ¡°Wow, sister, look quickly,¡± Wu Dongdong suddenly pointed at a huge screen rapidly enlarging above the tournament space, ¡°Dantai Feng, he¡¯s run into Nevsky from Ross Country.¡±


    ¡°The two are going to fight,¡± Wu Dongdong said excitedly, ¡°I wonder if Dantai Feng can win.¡±


    ¡°Dantai Feng? Nevsky?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but raise her head to look.


    ¡­


    At that moment, it wasn¡¯t just Wu Dongdong and Lin Lanyue.


    In the entire tournament space, almost all the spectators couldn¡¯t help but turn their attention to the rapidly enlarging screen.


    And the two elites who were already engaged in fierce battle.


    Dantai Feng, the king of the preliminaries, an unparalleled genius of Xia Country in his freshman year, even with Li Yuan¡¯s rise had still not completely shaken his position, most people still considered Dantai Feng stronger.


    After all, the title of the king of the preliminaries was significant.


    And Dantai Feng had once defeated Li Yuan.


    His opponent, Nevsky, as the ¡®strongest elite¡¯ emerging from Ross Country in this tournament, was also extremely formidable, recognized as the number one talent of Ross Country, also a Fifth Stage elite.


    This battle, a clash at the Fifth Stage.


    Them being respectively the first and second in points in the battlefields of the Tenth Star Realm.


    Such a duel, in terms of attention and anticipation, was even beyond the battle between Harmon and Jin Huguo.


    ¡­On an ice field in the Tenth Star Realm battlefield.


    ¡°Dantai Feng,¡± Nevsky held a Battle Axe, his swings causing Dantai Feng to retreat repeatedly.


    His hair was messy, and he stood over two meters and twenty centimeters tall, burly and robust, and though he was just a young man in his early twenties, he gave off the impression of a man in his thirties or forties.


    ¡°Nevsky, leave me some face,¡± Dantai Feng growled in a low voice, ¡°There must be millions of people watching us fight.¡±


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The two exchanged blows like lightning, with Dantai Feng¡¯s sword and shield working in tandem, time and again blocking Nevsky¡¯s battle axe chops.


    The axe was too heavy.


    Chop, more ferocious than the sword!


    Blocking, as solid as a shield.


    The weakness of the axe was its slowness, but at this moment, the axe in Nevsky¡¯s hands was even faster than Dantai Feng¡¯s sword, completely suppressing him.


    ¡°Whether a million people are watching or ten million,¡± Nevsky said with a chuckle, ¡°if you can defeat me, you will shine brilliantly.¡±


    ¡°Bring out all your strength, beat me.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, you are about to lose,¡± Nevsky said, his composure unmatched.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going all out.¡± A trace of madness flashed in Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes; he liked to show off in front of others, but deep down, he was also a bit mad.


    Boom!


    All of a sudden, Dantai Feng burst forth, casting aside his shield. His body almost appeared distorted as his speed surged eerily and he lunged at Nevsky with murderous intent.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Sword light surged like a tide, swift as lightning.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± A hint of seriousness swept over Nevsky¡¯s face as he hurriedly swung his battle axe like a colossal shield to block.


    But Dantai Feng, now going all out, focused entirely on his sword, was utterly insane.


    ¡°Faster! Faster! Even faster!¡± Dantai Feng murmured, pushing his vigor to the extreme.


    His combat saber viciously chopped down.


    Each strike was quicker than the last.


    The terrifying sword lights nearly engulfed Nevsky, almost reversing the tide of the battle.


    In that moment, Dantai Feng felt his spirit reaching a new pinnacle.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Nevsky bellowed, finally catching a slight flaw in the transition of Dantai Feng¡¯s sword technique. Blocking one strike with his battle axe, he suddenly reversed the weapon.


    And chopped fiercely!


    Swoosh!


    This sudden strike caused Nevsky¡¯s presence and aura to skyrocket, resembling a War God splitting mountains and rivers, his howl sending Dantai Feng flying backwards.


    Boom! Nevsky pressed the attack, his figure flickering to keep up, and struck down with another vicious axe blow.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    Dantai Feng met the axe with his sword, barely blocking it, but was sent flying once more.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± Nine consecutive strikes, each a horrid collision.


    Having thrown away his shield, Dantai Feng could no longer hold out.


    Accompanying the final terrifying axe light, he was chopped down.


    ¡°Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank, it¡¯s Intermediate Rank!¡± Dantai Feng stared at the axe descending furiously, roaring in his heart.


    Spurt~


    The axe passed through!


    Dantai Feng died in battle, his blood staining the icy plains red, bringing silence back to the expanse.


    ¡°He¡¯s quite formidable,¡± thought the burly man, Nevsky to himself. ¡°I wanted to save my burst for the final round, against Yin Man or Harmon. I didn¡¯t expect a freshman to push me so hard that I had to unleash ¡®Thousand Axe Combo,¡¯ which I had only recently mastered. One must never underestimate anyone.¡±


    After calming his inner turmoil, Nevsky continued across the ice plain.


    ¡­


    When Nevsky unleashed his power, he displayed terrifying strength that made countless spectators tremble.


    ¡°Dantai Feng lost?¡±


    ¡°Nevsky is too powerful.¡±


    ¡°Why do I feel like Nevsky is stronger than Yin Man, Li Yuan, Harmon, and all of them?¡± a chorus of discussions filled the competition space.


    In contrast to the brutal battle between Harmon and Jin Huguo,


    Dantai Feng, despite displaying amazing strength, lost decisively in a head-on onslaught from Nevsky.


    ¡­


    The battleground of the Seventh Star Realm.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin lost before, and now Dantai Feng has lost too?¡± Li Yuan glanced at his smart ring; although he couldn¡¯t see the details of the duel,


    nor communicate with the outside world,


    he could tell who won based on the dramatic changes in points between Dantai Feng and Nevsky.


    ¡°Hoffman, where are you?¡± Li Yuan walked through mountain gorges, searching for traces of the other.


    Along the way, any Star Realm Creatures or participants he encountered, he pursued and killed, sweeping all before him.

    Time passed, and it came to 11:30 PM.


    In each Star Realm¡¯s battle zone, the area had gradually shrunken to the smallest range, that is, a maximum diameter of 10 kilometers, with the combat range only one percent of the original.


    The entire melee had entered its final climax, with repeated bursts of intense fighting.


    In fact, on each battlefield now, there were mostly fewer than a thousand people alive, either being extremely powerful masters, such as those with Subtlety in their minds.


    Or even¡ªFifth Stage masters.


    Or, it was some of the low-key participants with weak abilities and low rankings, who managed to survive to the last phase through cautious tactics.


    ...


    In such a real battle, playing it safe wasn¡¯t necessarily wrong.


    One might be able to catch others off-guard, kill some injured masters by luck, and even make it into the top hundred of the battlefield.


    Similarly, it was also up to the top geniuses themselves to choose whether to risk fighting life-and-death battles with other super masters for a shot at first place in the battlefield.


    Or to play it safe until the end and compete for one of the ten additional spots in the elimination rounds.


    In the eyes of the higher-ups of the civilizations, such a competition schedule seemed not entirely fair, but the different outcomes resulting from each participant¡¯s autonomous choices were also a challenge for their spirits.


    Without a doubt, some of the most top-tier geniuses remained overwhelmingly strong.


    Quickly, another Fifth Stage masters¡¯ duel erupted.


    ¡°Zhu Tong is fighting Kunale, Kunale is the number one genius of Tianzhu Country, and Zhu Tong is also renowned, both of them being juniors at Starfire University.¡±


    ¡°They are classmates, but also competitors.¡±


    ¡°The fight is so fierce.¡±


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°He lost; Zhu Tong actually lost, Kunale¡¯s hammer technique is really sophisticated.¡±


    ¡°Haha, Kunale is really impressive, managing to defeat Xia Country¡¯s Fifth Stage master.¡± Cheers erupted from the nearly one million spectators of Tianzhu Country on the Spectator Platform, filled with excitement.


    Correspondingly, the atmosphere among the millions of Xia Country¡¯s spectators was much more subdued.


    Many spectators were displeased.


    In an extremely short period, five duels between Fifth Stage masters had broken out across the top ten Star Realms¡¯ battlefields, with three involving Xia Country¡¯s geniuses, all of whom lost.


    Jin Huguo, Dantai Feng, Zhu Tong, all successively lost their Fifth Stage duels.


    ¡°Three consecutive top-level confrontations, and we haven¡¯t won a single one?¡± Many Xia Country spectators felt frustrated.


    ¡°Are we going to lose the championship this time?¡±


    ¡°Think about it from another angle; Dantai Feng is just a freshman and being able to compete with the top third-year students from other countries is already quite an achievement.¡±


    ¡°Xia Country has the most Fifth Stage masters.¡±


    ¡°Look at United States, Ross Country, Tianzhu Country, so far, they have only revealed two Fifth Stage masters.¡±


    ¡°What about us? Plus Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Yu Mingwei, who still haven¡¯t shown their full potential, there are a total of six Fifth Stage masters, which is one-third of the total.¡± Many Xia Country spectators were whispering to each other, harboring some discontent in their hearts.


    ¡°We are, after all, Blue Star¡¯s strongest nation, isn¡¯t one-third our due share?¡±


    ¡°There haven¡¯t been any new Fifth Stage masters popping up in Yin Man¡¯s Star Realm, so a Fifth Stage battle probably won¡¯t break out.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan and Yu Mingwei, both, might engage in fierce battles with other Fifth Stage masters.¡± As time went on, the spectators¡¯ expectations began to shift, becoming more stable.


    They wished to witness the clashes of top masters even more.


    Just like the spectators from Xia Country, almost all of them were closely following Li Yuan and Yu Mingwei. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ¡°Win?¡± Jin Huguo had returned to the Spectator Platform, and he gazed at the two figures on the huge screen in the sky: ¡°Hoffman has a renowned reputation, second only to Harmon in United States, and having broken through early, should be stronger than Li Yuan, given that Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough didn¡¯t exceed three months¡­ but Li Yuan is best known for creating miracles, perhaps, he can create another one this time.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Dazhuang, who do you think will win?¡± Dantai Feng also sat in the spectators¡¯ seats, watching the two about to clash.


    ¡°I hope Li Yuan wins,¡± Tian Dazhuang said logically, ¡°but by common sense, Hoffman should be stronger.¡±


    ¡°Hoffman is as good as dead,¡± Dantai Feng said with a laugh.


    ¡°Why?¡± Tian Dazhuang was puzzled; he was unaware that Li Yuan had been confirmed for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance quota.


    ¡°Because Li Yuan previously lost to me,¡± Dantai Feng stated matter-of-factly, ¡°So, as long as Li Yuan beats Hoffman, it¡¯s as if I defeated Hoffman.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why Hoffman is as good as dead,¡± Dantai Feng concluded with an air of certainty.


    ¡°Come on, what kind of logic is that.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°They¡¯ve encountered each other, both parties are getting closer; this will be Xia Country¡¯s fourth Fifth Stage duel in the melee.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Can he win?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has been showing strong strength; he swept through other experts with ease before.¡±


    ¡°Last time, Li Yuan lost to Dantai Feng in the ten schools¡¯ new student battles, and since Dantai Feng has already died in battle¡­ I always feel it¡¯s a bit uncertain, Yin Man is still the most reliable.¡± Spectators from Xia Country all looked up at the huge screen, their confidence somewhat lacking.


    No way around it, Li Yuan¡¯s fame wasn¡¯t big enough before, and he was so young.


    ¡­


    ...


    ¡°Hoffman should be able to win.¡±


    ¡°Hoffman has broken through a long time ago, Li Yuan only reached subtlety of the mind three months ago, he probably just stepped into the Fifth Stage, he¡¯s already quite monstrous.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has a very small chance of winning.¡± This is the common thought among the vast majority of global participants.


    ¡°Li Yuan against other Fourth Level participants, naturally, he wins easily, but facing the powerful Hoffman, he will definitely lose.¡±


    ¡°Hoffman can match Harmon, and since Harmon defeated Jin Huguo, Hoffman can defeat Li Yuan,¡± audiences from the United States and Europa were fervent. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Previously, Harmon defeated Jin Huguo.


    Now, naturally, they hope Hoffman can continue this victor!


    ¡­


    In a higher Spectator Space.


    ¡°Li Yuan is about to face Hoffman.¡±


    ¡°This is Li Yuan¡¯s first battle against a Fifth Stage.¡± Over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors are fixated on this battle.


    Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors are also paying close attention, wanting to understand why the Star Master pays so much attention to Li Yuan.


    Perhaps the answer can be found in this Fifth Stage battle.


    ¡­


    The outside world was watching with bated breath.


    But in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, Li Yuan and Hoffman were obviously not so conscious of it.


    Although they encountered each other early, they still stood a hundred meters apart, observing each other, trying to catch a glimpse of the other¡¯s weaknesses.


    A Fifth Stage duel is naturally cautious.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I didn¡¯t expect my first Fifth Stage opponent would be you,¡± Hoffman said with a smile, ¡°It seems you haven¡¯t been a Fifth Stage for long, you won¡¯t be my match.¡±


    ¡°Is being older something to be proud of? If I were your age, I would¡¯ve gone to Feixing already, I wouldn¡¯t even participate in the Blue Star Competition.¡± Li Yuan shrugged, nonchalantly.


    Hoffman¡¯s face changed slightly.


    The global college martial arts competition, colloquially known as the ¡®Blue Star Competition,¡¯ is limited to within Blue Star.


    In fact, once selected for the Martial God Inheritance, they would no longer participate in the Blue Star Competition, mostly only joining the human martial path elite battles, which are contests between top talents from multiple editions across the Seven Great Planets.


    ¡°Hmph, then let me see just how strong you, the Xia Country genius, are,¡± Hoffman said with a cold look, ¡°Hope you don¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what I should be saying to you,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°After all, I am the first on the battlefield, you are only the second.¡±


    ¡°Hope you¡¯re not too weak,¡± Li Yuan said calmly.


    Hoffman was about to continue talking.


    ¡°Stop the nonsense.¡± Li Yuan suddenly shouted, turning into a streak of light as he charged over.


    Li Yuan¡¯s speed instantly accelerated to nearly 80 meters per second.


    A full-force burst.


    ¡°So fast.¡± Hoffman¡¯s face turned serious, they both had comparable Physical Quality, and the differences in power and speed they could unleash was entirely due to their stages.


    The higher the stage, the stronger the extraction of body strength.


    After the Fifth Stage Skill, the body gradually merges with the heaven and earth, the strength seems no stronger, but the air resistance encountered sharply reduces, hence the demonstrated speed also becomes more exaggerated.


    ¡°Shoo~¡±


    The Long Spear became like a dragon, Li Yuan charged explosively, a Straight Thrust shot out like lightning.


    A Central Thrust! The simplest Spear Technique, yet it contained the most terrifying power.


    Simplicity is the ultimate strength.


    ¡°Whish!¡± Hoffman instantly brought out his knife, its light incredibly fast, suddenly touching the tip of the Long Spear, a terrifying power burst from the blade, making the spear tip deviate instantly.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    As if anticipating, Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear trembled at the moment it moved, creating a sky full of spear shadows and stabbing downward as he followed through, while Hoffman immediately retreated backward with a ghost-like speed.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan pressed forward, his Long Spear howling, chasing and thrusting rapidly.


    A terrifying force erupted, causing rocks along the path to shatter and even the ground cracked open.


    ¡°Clang! Clang!¡±


    ¡°Boom! Boom, boom!¡± Successive terrifying confrontations, Li Yuan completely dominated, his Long Spear swirling like rolling stars crushing down, whether thrusting straight, furiously slashing, or sweeping, completely overwhelming Hoffman.


    For a time, their fierce battle was incredibly intense.


    ¡°So fierce,¡±


    ¡°His spear is completely different from other Spear Technique experts I have seen, rolling in overwhelming layers, truly dominating, not at all like someone who just entered the Fifth Stage.¡± Hoffman struggled to defend.


    He had to admit, just after a few dozen exchanges, in head-on clashes, he was already being pressed down by Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear was very dominating.


    ¡­


    ¡°Wow! Li Yuan is so dominant.¡±


    ¡°I need to change my attitude, this year¡¯s freshman, the most dazzling isn¡¯t Dantai Feng, it¡¯s Li Yuan!!¡±


    ¡°Hoffman has a reputation, yet he¡¯s being pressed down to fight by Li Yuan? Truly frightening.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique is fierce, is this his true strength? I like it!¡± Over a million Xia Country spectators were incredibly excited, many couldn¡¯t help but stand up.


    ¡°What a dominating Spear Technique, the Meaning of the Stellar! Truly, the spear as stars.¡± Jin Huguo¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°Junior Brother Li Yuan¡¯s strength, indeed, is stronger than mine.¡±


    ¡­ ¡°Haha, I said Hoffman was no match for Li Yuan,¡± Dantai Feng said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s just a bit of a pity.¡±


    ¡°A pity what?¡± Tian Dazhuang was taken by surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a momentous occasion, and yet it wasn¡¯t me making it happen,¡± Dantai Feng expressed his regret.


    ¡­


    ¡°Why is Hoffman so weak?¡±


    ¡°Or is it that Li Yuan is too strong?¡± Spectators from the United States felt uncomfortable and more worried.

    Chapter 278: Chapter 213: Clash of the Titans! The Strongest on the Battlefield! (Extra 17)_3


    Hoffman talked a big game, so why is he not delivering?


    ¡­


    ¡°Relying only on a saber, I can¡¯t defeat him; my momentum is dwindling,¡± Hoffman said, his gaze ice-cold.


    In a clash between experts, momentum is incredibly important, and sometimes it¡¯s all about pressing the advantage.


    That¡¯s what they mean by overpowering an opponent with momentum.


    ¡°The way this is going, I will undoubtedly lose.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I have no choice but to burst out,¡± Hoffman¡¯s eyes flashed with ferocity,¡± I had planned to save this for the finals, but I¡¯ll use you for practice.¡±


    He hadn¡¯t taken Li Yuan very seriously before, thinking that Li Yuan had just broken through to the Fifth Stage not long ago and could be easily defeated.


    After all, for martial path geniuses like them, even with astounding comprehension, being able to break through from the Initial Rank to the Intermediate Rank within a year of reaching the Fifth Stage was already impressive.


    And what of someone who had just broken through to the Fifth Stage?


    But with Li Yuan going all out, his strength surpassed Hoffman¡¯s expectations, feeling no weaker than Harmon, and perhaps even more ferocious and violent.


    Whoosh!


    Hoffman leaped high into the air once again, and then the combat saber in his hand suddenly flew out, shooting towards Li Yuan like a massive concealed weapon at a speed close to the speed of sound.


    ¡°Clang!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s long spear vibrated and deflected the flying saber to one side.


    A hint of confusion flickered through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    What was Hoffman doing? He threw away his weapon?


    ¡°Haha, Li Yuan, very good.¡± As Hoffman stepped back, he drew two curved sabers from behind his back, smaller and more agile than before.


    He landed on a huge boulder.


    ¡°I had planned to save this for the finals, but your strength is worth my full effort,¡± Hoffman¡¯s eyes shone brightly, ¡°I will use my greatest strength to defeat you.¡±


    Boom!


    Hoffman shot forward like lightning, approaching Li Yuan in a gust of wind, with two silver lights whistling towards him.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± Li Yuan countered attack with attack, his long spear shifting agilely, blocking each curved saber strike in a flash of lightning.


    The sword technique was continuous and astonishingly fast.


    If Hoffman¡¯s single saber had simply been fierce before, then his current pair of curved sabers¡­each individually was not as intimidating as the single saber, but in combination, their power multiplied exponentially.


    And his movement technique had significantly changed, becoming more agile and unpredictable, completely surpassing Li Yuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Such a ghostly movement technique.¡±


    ¡°Such fast twin curved sabers, this is definitely his preferred way of fighting,¡± Li Yuan felt incredibly pressured, as he was completely dominated for the moment.


    A Fifth Stage expert could quickly adapt to any weapon and reach the Fifth Stage standard, hence they didn¡¯t have any clear weaknesses.


    But that¡¯s just it¡ªthey had no weaknesses.


    Each Fifth Stage expert had their strongest points and weapons of choice¡­ When using these weapons, they could unleash their full potential, increasing the synergy of their moves with the world and making their power even more terrifying.


    And Hoffman was doing just that.


    In this head-to-head battle, Li Yuan was completely overwhelmed; his spear was longer, but his speed was much slower compared to Hoffman.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    One curved saber hooked the long spear as his ghostly figure closed in, the other curved saber whooshing, trying to sweep past Li Yuan¡¯s neck.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan retreated rapidly like lightning, pulling back with his spear, but the curved saber still grazed his shoulder.


    ¡°Rip~¡± It left a shocking gash, blood spattering.


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s muscles tightened, immediately stopping the flow of blood.


    ¡°Li Yuan, just give up,¡± Hoffman¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement,¡± You can¡¯t withstand my attacks.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Despite his injury, Li Yuan showed no panic, his fighting spirit sky-high, his eyes brimming with excitement,¡± Before the tournament, I had always wondered if anyone could force me to reveal my strongest state. Hoffman, you¡¯re the first.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s really great.¡±


    ¡°The purpose of the tournament is to converse with the powerful and refine oneself,¡± Li Yuan said with a grin, his long spear at an angle,¡± Come on, attack again, let me test your attacks once more.¡±


    ¡°Playing tricks.¡± Hoffman snorted coldly, obviously unfazed by Li Yuan¡¯s words.


    Boom!


    Separated by only a few dozen meters, Hoffman shot forward in less than a second, bearing down on Li Yuan with a roar.


    Two dazzling arcs of saber light sliced through the vast sky.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± The spear light blossomed, whooshing forward, easily blocking the two saber lights¡¯ assault.


    ¡°Ha!¡± Hoffman roared, his form twisting as the saber light became blurred, his whole being seeming to meld into the world itself, his curved sabers slashing at Li Yuan with full force.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom! Clang!¡± With each collision, the situation completely changed, but regardless of how furiously Hoffman attacked, Li Yuan¡¯s body erupted with dazzling spear light.


    The spear light shone like stars, blocking Hoffman¡¯s strikes time after time, unmovable as a mountain.


    Impregnable.


    ¡°How can his defense suddenly become this strong?¡± Hoffman could hardly believe it; he had attacked with all his might, yet he couldn¡¯t shake Li Yuan.


    Of course, with Li Yuan focusing entirely on defense and changing his spear technique radically, he also couldn¡¯t pose a threat to Hoffman.


    ¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s so exciting.¡±


    ¡°This battle is far fiercer than any of the previous Fifth Stage battles,¡± remarked millions of spectators in the tournament space, holding their breath.


    At first, when both sides exchanged blows, Li Yuan had the upper hand; then, as Hoffman burst forth, Li Yuan was pushed into a disadvantage.


    Eventually, Li Yuan finally revealed his strongest defensive stance, effortlessly parrying Hoffman¡¯s offense.


    However, it seemed that Li Yuan could only defend and had difficulty in landing a killing strike on Hoffman.

    ¡°Li Yuan is good at defense.¡±


    ¡°If it were a tournament with a need to determine a winner, then Hoffman would undoubtedly lose¡­ But this is a melee battle, while Li Yuan can easily defend, he can¡¯t force Hoffman into a fight to the death,¡± observed those Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher-level Spectator Space easily identifying this fact.


    Their realms were too high, at least at the Fifth Stage Perfection skill level.


    They could tell that Li Yuan¡¯s realm was somewhat superior, but his strength lay in defense, without a fundamental difference from Hoffman.


    ¡°This battle looks like it¡¯s going to end in a draw,¡± Dean Xu murmured quietly.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± Li Yang was extremely satisfied, smiling and saying, ¡°How long has Li Yuan just stepped into the Fifth Stage? In less than two months, he¡¯s already reached the limit of the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    ...


    ¡°With such strong defense, he can already aim for the top ten, or even top five,¡± Li Yang¡¯s eyes shone brightly.


    The power Li Yuan revealed was stronger than he had expected.


    ¡°Hmm, strong defense gives a significant advantage during the final tournament battles,¡± Dean Xu couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    ¡­


    In the continuous mountain forests of the Seventh Star Realm battlefield.


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and Hoffman were still fighting fiercely.


    The terrifying aftershocks of their battle resonated for several kilometers around, even attracting other still-alive contestants on the battlefield, but upon seeing the combatants, no one dared to approach.


    They all stayed at least seven or eight hundred meters away to watch the battle.


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡± Hoffman¡¯s Sword Technique flowed like water, tilting onto Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique defense circle time after time, but each time it was in vain.


    Yet, he continued his fierce attacks.


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan was fully defending, interpreting the core mystery of the Stellar Spear Technique, ¡®Stellar Illumination,¡¯ to its utmost extent.


    As if he were a star himself! S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He stood unshakable on the earth.


    Gradually, Li Yuan felt a strange fluctuation.


    ¡°Stellar Illumination, Illumination!¡±


    ¡°The Meaning of the Stellar, like faint rays of light that blossom, when the glow congregates, it¡¯s like the stars.¡± Li Yuan executed his Spear Technique time after time, clashing madly with Hoffman,


    and such a fierce battle with a high-level opponent of the same rank was something Li Yuan hadn¡¯t experienced in a long time.


    Hoffman¡¯s Sword Technique provoked thought after thought about past practices of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique.


    ¡°Starlight!¡±


    ¡°Brightness!¡± Li Yuan finally caught the fleeting inspiration in his heart, fully understanding the key to the third layer of the ¡®Meaning of the Stellar¡¯: ¡®Galactic Convergence.¡¯


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Boom!¡± The Long Spear in Li Yuan¡¯s hand suddenly transformed, the Spear Light flickered, becoming even more dazzling, like streaks of galaxies crossing the sky, from one wisp of starlight to the next.


    The Meaning of the Stellar¡ªGalaxy!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The terrible Spear Technique burst forth, one thrust after another, like a reversing galaxy, with boundless might, instantly switching from defense to offense, fiercely assaulting Hoffman.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    The first clash changed Hoffman¡¯s expression; he could clearly feel that Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique had changed, become faster, and contained greater might¡­ This was a clear Transformation.


    Followed by the second thrust, the third, the fourth¡­ The terrifying might within the Spear Technique completely crushed him.


    The two were no longer on the same level.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    ¡°Escape!¡± The thought flashed through Hoffman¡¯s mind as he tried to flee far away.


    He had already abandoned the idea of killing Li Yuan.


    Boom!


    But as he retreated, Li Yuan¡¯s Burst Speed was even faster, his figure darting forward, speed soaring past 80 meters per second, as the Long Spear whooshed in for another Straight Thrust.


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! After several lightning-fast collisions,


    ¡°Rip!¡± A thrust passed by, Hoffman¡¯s arm was blown off, blood splattered.


    Whoosh~


    Another thrust came like lightning.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    The spear tip directly passed through Hoffman¡¯s neck, gone in a flash before blood even had time to flow.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan had already darted dozens of meters away, stopping briefly before directly heading into the distance.


    The outcome was decided!


    Meanwhile, Hoffman tried to grasp his own neck, but blood spilled, his mouth opened, but no sound came out.


    Clang~ Clang~ The last knife fell to the ground.


    Thump~


    Hoffman¡¯s body fell heavily to the ground!


    This battle ended with Li Yuan¡¯s victory, and also announced the birth of the strongest in the Seventh Star Realm.

    ¡°A spear as grand as the galaxy!¡±


    ¡°This! This is unbelievable!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s just a freshman, right? And probably only eighteen and a half years old? His Spear Technique has already reached this level?¡±


    ¡°Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage!! A freshman has achieved this level?¡± Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors and thousands of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists from around the globe in that higher-level Spectator Space were astonished.

 Chapter 280 - 214: The Schools Expectations (Extra 18)

    Chapter 280: Chapter 214: The School¡¯s Expectations (Extra 18)


    If the initial clash between Li Yuan and Hoffman only made these Flying Heaven Warriors and Top Grade Origin Martial Artists raise their eyebrows without too much surprise,


    then when they saw Li Yuan unleash the ¡®Milky Way Convergence¡¯ True Intent of Spear Technique and easily defeat Hoffman,


    including dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors, everyone in this higher-tier Spectator Space was amazed and even shocked.


    Technique advancement becomes increasingly difficult the further one progresses.


    Yin Man, Harmon, Hoffman, Jin Huguo, Kunale, and others who could be considered top geniuses of Blue Star¡ªordinarily, Blue Star would produce only ten to twenty such geniuses a year.


    Most of them only need a little over a year to advance from intial entry into the Fourth Level to achieving Subtlety in the spirit.


    ...


    And from spiritual Subtlety to the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage?


    With their higher Physical Quality and average spiritual power reaching above level 20, most of them also require over a year.


    How about progressing from the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage to breaking through to the Intermediate Rank? The pace would be even slower.


    After all, Initial Rank Fifth Stage techniques are already sufficient to establish one as a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    Then moving on to the Fifth Stage High Rank, Fifth Stage Perfection¡­ each step forward, the difficulty increases exponentially.


    Under normal circumstances, for these top geniuses of Blue Star, being able to reach Fifth Stage Perfect Skill within the next ten years (before the age of 30), the baseline for becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ would be considered a great success.


    Even many will be stuck at the Fifth Stage High Rank.


    Progressing in skill is not something that can be achieved just by spending time on it.


    Many so-called Martial Path geniuses hit a limit at some point and often find themselves unable to break through the bottleneck, because those bottlenecks are usually their talent bottlenecks as well.


    From the Fifth Stage to the Sixth Stage? It¡¯s as difficult as reaching for the heavens.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors, as dazzling in their youth as Harmon and the others, achieving Fifth Stage Perfection as Prime Warriors, still could not break through the Sixth Stage techniques even after their transformation into the Flying Heaven Level souls upon entering the Flying Heaven Realm.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors in human civilization haven¡¯t even reached Sixth Stage technique standards.


    What about Li Yuan? How old is he really?


    ¡°It¡¯s rare enough for Yin Man and Harmon to have reached the Fifth Stage in their sophomore year, with maybe one or two appearing in the Blue Star competition each year, and some years not even one.¡±


    ¡°Someone like Dantai Feng, we might see emerge from Blue Star only every few years, and that¡¯s quite remarkable.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is even more monstrous. He¡¯s younger than Dantai Feng and progressing even faster. It¡¯s been what, just three months since he achieved spiritual Subtlety? That¡¯s too fast.¡±


    ¡°Could he be at the same genius level as Fang Hai?¡±


    ¡°I feel he¡¯s stronger than Yu Jinghe!¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe¡¯s performance in the Blue Star competition years ago was only slightly better than Dantai Feng¡¯s, but not by this much.¡±


    ¡°Xia Country, is it about to produce another Star Master?¡±


    ¡°Become a Star Master? I doubt it!¡± Many Flying Heaven Warriors could not help but discuss and even argue among themselves.


    In the face of Dantai Feng, they could still maintain a somewhat condescending attitude, quite composed.


    But Li Yuan? Too monstrous.


    Achieving the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage in his freshman year, since the establishment of the Martial Path entrance exam on Blue Star, there have been very few with such accomplishments.


    ¡°No wonder the Star Master came to watch Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°The Star Master indeed has foresight.¡± Many Flying Heaven Warriors couldn¡¯t help but look towards the figure in black.


    Suddenly.


    Buzz~ The mysterious figure in black sitting in the seat vanished into thin air.


    Clearly, he had seen what he wanted to in this melee.


    ¡°Heh heh.¡±


    ¡°Gentlemen.¡± Dean Hai smiled faintly: ¡°He is a student I have taught.¡±


    ¡°Old Hai, you¡¯ve hit the jackpot!¡±


    ¡°What dumb luck.¡±


    ¡°I have to go back and check why we at Starry Sky University didn¡¯t recruit him.¡± the other Flying Heaven Warriors couldn¡¯t help but tease.


    They were the backbone of humanity¡¯s defense, and although they nominally belonged to different countries and powers, most had good relations with each other, many even being close as life-and-death comrades.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors were well aware that, when facing Alien Civilizations, they had only one label on them¡ªhumans of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    ¡­


    ¡°Real dog luck.¡±


    Li Yang, listening to Dean Hai boast, couldn¡¯t help but mutter under his breath, ¡°His teaching? What did he teach? Wasn¡¯t it us who toiled in sparring?¡±


    ¡°He just spends his days fishing by the lake.¡± Li Yang kept on complaining.


    ¡°If you have such a big complaint, should I go and report it to Dean Hai?¡± Dean Xu said with a smile.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, sis.¡± Li Yang laughed: ¡°Complaints aside, all in jest, I won¡¯t joke about my future.¡±


    Dean Xu shook her head with a smile, understanding Li Yang¡¯s character.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique is indeed terrifying.¡± Dean Xu looked at the screen showing Li Yuan and couldn¡¯t help but remark, ¡°At the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, even for someone with a Flying Heaven Level soul, this progress is too fast.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s ridiculously fast.¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but add.


    A Flying Heaven Level soul? That¡¯s just an aid. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The key lies in Li Yuan¡¯s own astonishing Comprehension Transformation.


    ¡°With such speed in progression, I¡¯d believe it if he surpasses us next year.¡± Li Yang said.


    Dean Xu slightly nodded.


    The two of them were both at the Fifth Stage High Rank skill.


    Merely in terms of skill level, compared to the current Li Yuan, they already had no overwhelming advantage.


    ¡°Can he challenge for first place?¡± Dean Xu¡¯s eyes held a flicker of light.


    ¡°Hard to say.¡± Li Yang shook his head slightly: ¡°So far, Nevsky of Ross Country has revealed Fifth Stage Intermediate strength¡­Harmon, Yin Man, a few others, might have broken through, or perhaps not.¡±


    ¡°We can only say, Li Yuan has a good chance,¡± Li Yang said: ¡°After all, there are still ten days until the finals.¡±


    ¡°With Li Yuan¡¯s rate of progress, ten days might be worth several months to the others.¡±


    Both harbored a trace of anticipation.

    Since 2009, the champion of the Global University Martial Path Competition Virtual Battle has always cycled among the top martial arts schools like Starry Sky University, Starfire University, and Black Stone University.


    If Kunlun Martial University could win this year, it would be the first time in the history of the school.

    In the competition space, those millions of spectators had completely erupted.


    ¡°We won!¡±


    ¡°Not only did Li Yuan block Hoffman¡¯s attack, but he also counter-killed on the back foot? His spear technique at the end was so powerful.¡±


    ...


    ¡°When they were exchanging blows earlier, Hoffman was able to suppress him, and Li Yuan was only defending, but then he suddenly burst through and killed Hoffman.¡±


    ¡°With Hoffman¡¯s strength, even if he couldn¡¯t win, it shouldn¡¯t have been difficult for him to flee, but Li Yuan¡¯s burst speed at the end, the data shows it surpassed 80 meters per second, which is almost close to a regular 18th Stage Martial Artist.¡±

    ¡°Hoffman, that¡¯s a Fifth Stage High Rank expert on par with Harmon.¡± Numerous spectators discussed fervently.


    The previous several Fifth Stage battles, although they had determined winners and losers,


    were mostly hard-fought victories.


    The only one that could be mentioned in the same breath as Li Yuan¡¯s fight was Nevsky¡¯s victory over Dantai Feng, where Nevsky also claimed a very easy win.


    But after all, Dantai Feng was still a freshman, his reputation might seem big, but in the hearts of most competitors, he was not as intimidating as Hoffman.


    Before this, many had pegged ¡®Hoffman¡¯ as a shoo-in for the top ten, with hopes for the top three or even first place.


    Yet now, he was easily slain by Li Yuan.


    How strong must Li Yuan be?


    ¡­


    ¡°Junior Brother Li Yuan, there¡¯s hope for you to vie for the first place,¡± Jin Huguo¡¯s eyes sparkled: ¡°Impressive! Being able to do this as a freshman!¡±


    Jin Huguo had great admiration for Li Yuan in his heart.


    ¡­


    ¡°Vie for first place? Is Li Yuan that strong?¡± Tian Dazhuang, shocked by Dantai Feng¡¯s words, asked, ¡°Is he even stronger than Senior Sister Yin Man?¡±


    Yin Man had a very big reputation within Starfire University.


    ¡°Hard to say.¡±


    ¡°Yin Man is quite strong, but she may not have reached the Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage,¡± Dantai Feng said: ¡°And even if she is at the Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage, so what?¡±


    Dantai Feng shrugged: ¡°To go from Intermediate Rank to High Rank of the Fifth Stage normally takes several years, what difference does a few months earlier make?¡±


    ¡°There are still ten days until the finals, who knows how much Li Yuan will improve by then?¡± Dantai Feng said.


    Tian Dazhuang nodded in agreement.


    What made Li Yuan most thrilling was his astonishing rate of progress.


    Other people slowed down as they progressed, often hitting a plateau.


    But Li Yuan? The further he went, the more exaggerated his progress, the faster his pace and the more dazzling his performance.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°I suddenly hope I don¡¯t get sent to Feixing this year,¡± Dantai Feng sighed.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong now?¡± Tian Dazhuang was puzzled.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t go to Feixing this year and Li Yuan does, he won¡¯t be able to participate in the Blue Star competition next year,¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed: ¡°While I continue to compete.¡±


    ¡°When I win the championship as a sophomore, I¡¯ll probably shine just as brightly.¡±


    Tian Dazhuang was stunned.


    ¡­


    ¡°Is that Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°No wonder he was directly awarded the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot.¡± The tall Zhu Tong stared at the figure on the screen: ¡°Indeed very strong.¡±


    ¡°Stronger than me!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re leaving now? Isn¡¯t there still ten minutes left?¡± Wu Dongdong asked, perplexed.


    ¡°It¡¯s pointless.¡±


    ¡°No one in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield can shake Li Yuan¡¯s position now,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile: ¡°I should go and see Brother Yuan, prepare for the trip to the Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Are you preparing to go now? Isn¡¯t it a bit early?¡± Wu Dongdong couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°My physical quality has already reached the 15th Stage, meeting the standard,¡± Lin Lanyue said: ¡°The earlier I go, the better.¡±


    ¡°Then, be safe,¡± Wu Dongdong sighed.


    She knew that Lin Lanyue carried great expectations and had a very tough journey ahead.


    ¡­


    Inside the Seventh Star Realm battlefield.


    Whoosh!


    Having killed Hoffman, Li Yuan did not linger long and swiftly left the wooded area.


    He then found a high mountain, sat down cross-legged on a giant boulder, and placed his long spear beside him.


    This made Li Yuan very conspicuous, after all the battlefield was only so big now.


    But in the past three hours, Li Yuan had been killing frantically; hundreds of competitors died by his hands.


    It could be said that the competing survivors on the battlefield basically all recognized him.


    ¡°The last ten minutes.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to continue killing,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart gradually calmed down as he silently pondered, ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect that in such a great battle, I would gradually step into the intermediate rank of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    Breaking through during a great battle was very common.


    In a state of extreme mental excitement, walking on the edge of life and death, a person¡¯s potential could be maximally stimulated¡­ Although the effects of virtual combat weren¡¯t as good as real combat, the tension and excitement exceeded that of normal real combat training because it involved spots in the competition.


    If Li Yuan had trained normally, it might have taken him one or two months to break the bottleneck.


    ¡°Hoffman has a huge reputation and is identified in the intelligence reports as someone who can rush into the top ten,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Judging from our exchange of blows, his skill level should be around 20% of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    ¡°What about me now?¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    One of the lines read:


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 30%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 30%)


    ¡°Is that enough to rush for first place?¡± Li Yuan pondered to himself: ¡°In the next ten days, keep practicing the spear, and strive to leave no regrets in the finals.¡±


    On the leaderboard of the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, Li Yuan was already far ahead with the highest points.


    ¡­Time passed by minute by minute.


    The remaining survivors on the battlefield became increasingly frantic.


    ¡°Stop running and fight me with all your strength, only by winning is there hope of rushing into the top hundred,¡± one competitor shouted as they chased another, cursing at each other.


    The experts ranked in the top hundred were hunting other competitors to secure their positions, while being extremely cautious to avoid being targeted by a surprise attack.


    Those close to the top hundred were desperate, trying to make the most of the last moments.


    However.


    In the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, no one dared to provoke the figure in black clothes with closed eyes sitting on the huge rock.


    Finally, the time reached midnight.


    Hum~


    An invisible wave swept across, and the consciousnesses of all the surviving competitors in the ten Star Realms simultaneously left their bodies.


    The melee competition had ended, and Li Yuan was no different.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan was back in the competition space, looking out over a sea of people, all of them shouting excitedly.


    The melee had concluded, and tomorrow would bring an even more brutal ¡®elimination round.¡¯


    But none of this mattered to Li Yuan anymore.


    ¡°Congratulations Li Yuan, you ranked first in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield and will directly pass the elimination round to enter the finals,¡± the system prompt sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s ear, ¡°The final twenty to ten will take place on February 18th at 8:00 PM.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°First place!¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, you¡¯re amazing, first place in the battlefield!¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother, making it to the finals as a freshman, this is history for Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°The finals! Senior Brother, we all look forward to you winning the championship!!¡± Tens of thousands of Kunlun Martial University students cheered around Li Yuan at that moment.


    Li Yuan watched all this, feeling the excitement of his classmates and friends, and showed a faint smile.


    With a thought,


    Drip~ Li Yuan directly exited the virtual network.


    ¡­Hum~ The virtual network chamber opened.


    Li Yuan opened his eyes, feeling an immense tranquility around him, the noise from the competition space seemed like a distant dream.


    But this tranquility was what was real.


    ¡°Claiming first place in the battlefield, I¡¯ve completed the first goal of the competition,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was completely calm: ¡°It¡¯s time to continue training.¡±


    Li Yuan got up and walked out of the virtual network chamber.


    ¡°I¡¯ll start with the Visualization Method,¡± Li Yuan went to the center of the Martial Arts Room and gently closed his eyes.


    The work of cultivation required accumulations over days and months without a single day of slack.


    ¡­


    When the melee competition ended, many students left the virtual network chamber one after another.


    In a remote and inconspicuous small country in the Africa Continent,


    A regular student was writing a string of seemingly unrelated symbols on a piece of white paper.


    But these symbols, if accurately translated into Xia language,


    ¡°Li Yuan, eighteen years and six months old, intermediate rank Fifth Stage skills.¡±


    ¡°A year and a half ago, he was only at the Third Stage. As for the threat level, it has surpassed that of SSS-class.¡±


    ¡°Recommendation: initiate all tactics excluding the Flying Heaven Realm Infiltrators to exterminate him!¡±

 Chapter 282 - 215: Awakening! The Second Star Meridian

    Chapter 282: Chapter 215: Awakening! The Second Star Meridian


    After practicing the Visualization Method for two hours as was his habit, Li Yuan continued to cultivate ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡±.


    By the time all this ended, it had already reached deep into the night.


    He opened his eyes. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan only felt his mind clear and refreshed, and all the previous fatigue had dissipated, his body brimming with seemingly endless strength.


    ¡°It¡¯s four in the morning again?¡± Li Yuan glanced at his smart ring watch without thinking.


    Four in the morning was the time when Li Yuan finished his daily routine practices.


    ...


    In the ten days since he had returned to school,


    Apart from attending general knowledge classes, Li Yuan had almost entirely devoted his time to cultivation.


    Practicing his Spear Technique, combat training, cultivating the Visualization Method and ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡±, etc.


    Outsiders could only see Li Yuan breaking through and surpassing limits repeatedly.


    But they could scarcely see the effort he put in behind the scenes.


    Indeed, a key reason for Li Yuan¡¯s rapid growth was the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but if he hadn¡¯t been so insanely diligent ¡­ the Mind Spirit Divine Palace might have done more harm than good, as it was a double-edged sword.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°In just these few hours, quite a number of people have sent me messages,¡± Li Yuan saw on his smart ring watch, having received well over two hundred messages.


    Most were from various classmates and friends.


    Like Shi Xiao and others, as well as people such as Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, etc.


    And also many messages of congratulations from high school classmates like Wu Dongdong, Lin Lanyue, Li Tianyou, and others.


    ¡°Hmm, Lanyue?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression became slightly somber as he read the message from Lin Lanyue, ¡°Is she about to head to the Star Realm?¡±


    The Star Realm was not so easy to traverse, and it seemed she was headed for the Second Level Star Realm.


    Without rushing to reply to Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan continued to quickly browse through the messages.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan paused.


    Because among these congratulatory messages, he unexpectedly found ones from Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, Liu Jing, Fang Longhu, Wan Qinghe, and many others.


    ¡°Something¡¯s not right.¡±


    ¡°Other people congratulating me is one thing,¡± Li Yuan privately pondered, ¡°but Senior Liu is stationed at the Mingxu Star Realm base, and then there¡¯s Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou, they attend Cultural University¡­ how did they get the news so quickly? And from the tone of their messages¡­ it seems as though they¡¯ve already decided that I¡¯ll become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future?¡±


    Only four hours had passed since the end of the melee competition.


    Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Open the projection.¡±


    Having a vague realization of something, Li Yuan directly commanded, ¡°Xiao Yu, immediately conduct a full net intelligent search for ¡®Global Martial Arts Competition virtual match Li Yuan¡¯, searching for official news.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the assistant AI promptly responded.


    With a hum, a huge screen projection condensed, and the assistant AI swiftly searched, arranging the results in order according to Li Yuan¡¯s previous search habits.


    Top of the list was a short video titled¡ª¡±Blue Star¡¯s peerless genius ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, the future surpassing Flying Heaven existence.¡±


    Video producer: Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression shifted slightly.


    What was this video? Li Yuan immediately clicked to watch it.


    ¡­ ¡°He was born into an ordinary family in Jiangbei Province, and his adolescence was quite challenging.¡±


    ¡°His elder accomplished great contributions to the nation, receiving the Silver Quality Medal.¡±


    ¡°He, even more so, was a peerless genius selected by Starfire Martial Hall!¡±


    ¡°Since junior high, he has been continually making progress in Martial Path. In his first year of high school, he quickly rose to be among the top ten in grade for martial arts skills, became number one in his second year, ranked first in the province in the college entrance examination on raw scores, and acquired the title of ¡®Youth Hero''¡±, a voice-over narrated.


    The video displayed various snippets of Li Yuan¡¯s junior and senior high school cultivation, his honors¡­ many details were blurred out, and the people featured were ambiguous.


    ¡°Now, just half a year into university, he has already made significant contributions, becoming a recipient of the Metal Quality Medal.¡±


    ¡°In the Global University Martial Arts Competition, teeming with geniuses, he revealed his peerless edge! Sweeping through many strong opponents! Advancing to the finals!¡± the narration grew more spirited.


    The scene switched to show clips of Li Yuan defeating numerous competitors, overpowering martial arts geniuses like Han Haochang and Hoffman¡­ domineering! Assertive!


    ¡°He is our Blue Star¡¯s contemporary peerless genius ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, his future knows no bounds, and we hope that he lives up to expectations¡­ to soon become a Flying Heaven Warrior, nay, a surpassing Flying Heaven Warrior, becoming another towering pillar of our human civilization¡­¡± The video finally ended.


    Li Yuan was stupefied for a long while, almost embarrassed out of his skin, his face uncontrollably turning red.


    It was simply too exaggerated.


    Who would flatter in such a way? Peerless genius?


    ¡°View count¡­ damn, 110 million?¡± Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe his own eyes.


    This short promotional video went online at one in the morning, and it had only been online for three hours.


    Could the view count surpass a hundred million so quickly?


    Wasn¡¯t this exaggeration a bit much?


    Li Yuan now understood why he had received so many messages, it was because of this short video? And he could foresee that by tomorrow or the day after, the number of people messaging him would likely be even greater.


    ¡°Strange.¡±


    ¡°Why would the official Starfire Martial Hall produce such a video?¡± Wondering this, Li Yuan immediately began to look into it.


    He soon discovered.


    Besides his, there was a short video about Dantai Feng as well¡­ no others, like Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, and other similarly dazzling geniuses, had no propaganda videos.


    Only he and Dantai Feng had them.


    ¡°Logically, even if they made such a promotional video¡­¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°it shouldn¡¯t spread and ferment this quickly.¡±


    The Global University Martial Arts Competition indeed had some clout, but since it was a completely closed event, it wouldn¡¯t normally be deliberately publicized. Hence, its notoriety among the general public wasn¡¯t very high¡­ most people only knew that such a competition existed.


    ¡°Very strange,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    He faintly sensed the scent of conspiracy, as if there was an invisible hand pushing him and Dantai Feng from behind the scenes to the forefront.


    ¡°Forget it.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t change it, so I can only accept it.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, not wanting to think any further, then chuckled suddenly, ¡°But Dantai Feng, seeing the video¡¯s view count¡­ will probably jump with joy.¡±


    The two had fundamentally different personalities.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t mind showing his glory in public, while Dantai Feng sought to do so.


    ¡°I believe the senior executives of Starfire Martial Hall have deep intentions for doing this,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Too late to inquire further and not wanting to think too much about it, he decided to ask during the day instead.


    After quickly browsing through all the messages, Li Yuan continued to cultivate his Spear Technique.


    He executed the move ¡°Stellar Illumination¡± again and again.


    In the underground martial arts room, it was unusually quiet.


    The only sound was Li Yuan¡¯s long spear swinging continuously, the terrifying spear light evolving as if it became material. But what was strange was that this terrifying display of spear technique erupted without the slightest sound.


    ¡°Merge with heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°My spear merges with heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan practiced over and over, the simplest moves containing the strongest power.


    His skill in spear technique had just reached the fifth stage Intermediate rank, exactly when his comprehension of heaven and earth had reached a new realm.


    After a long practice session.


    ¡°Something¡¯s not right! No.¡± Li Yuan felt some discontent in his heart, feeling that the underground martial arts room was too confining.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan moved swiftly, soon arriving in the villa¡¯s garden outside.


    It was past four in the morning, the sky full of stars, but very cold, with the north wind howling, altogether extremely quiet.


    A bright moon hung in the sky.


    ¡°Cool, the chilly wind,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile on his face: ¡°This is exactly the sensation I¡¯m seeking.¡±


    He continued to practice with his spear, following that most instinctive feeling he had during the fierce battle with Hoffman.


    Unknowingly.


    As Li Yuan¡¯s heart gradually quieted, his spear momentum became more and more powerful, and he seemed to merge into the world around him.


    Divine union with heaven and earth!


    The spear united with heaven and earth, using the spear as a guide, the body entering heaven and earth, Li Yuan was attempting to do so step by step following the guidance of ¡°Meaning of the Stellar.¡±


    ¡°Stellar, the essence lies in stability.¡±


    ¡°The idea of the galaxy is also vast; if the spear shadows are like the galaxy, they will be unshakable within the vastness of the starry rivers, unaffected by any storm,¡± Li Yuan was completely immersed.


    Stellar Spear Technique, Meaning of the Stellar, named after the stars, the core of both is defense.


    Practicing over and over again, the terrifying display of spear technique also caused the surrounding grass to be rapidly torn apart, but the sound it made was very low.


    ¡°[Your realm in spear technique has increased from 30% of the fifth stage to 31% of the fifth stage],¡± a prompt from the Divine Palace suddenly flashed by.


    But Li Yuan seemed not to notice and continued to cultivate in quietude.


    Only when the sky began to brighten, with a hint of dawn light faintly shining on the earth, did Li Yuan finally stop.


    ¡°Unexpectedly.¡±


    ¡°Once I stepped into the intermediate rank of the fifth stage, a wealth of insights converged, and I thought I had deepened my understanding of the Meaning of the Stellar quite a bit, yet I only improved by 1%,¡± Li Yuan said with a hint of a smile on his face: ¡°Let it be, one should not be greedy, cultivation is inherently difficult after entering the intermediate rank of the fifth stage.¡±


    ¡°As long as one continues to steadily progress, that¡¯s enough,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°Dawn is breaking.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already past six, time to try the Life Star space, then breakfast,¡± Li Yuan turned and walked towards the underground martial arts room.


    ¡­


    ¡°Life Star space.¡±


    ¡°Awaken the Life Star.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, his strong spiritual power quickly transported his consciousness into that peculiar space.


    The entire space was much brighter than before, no longer purely dark.


    Aside from the one Perfect Star Vein¡¯s 129,600 Life Stars shining brightly, creating a beautiful ¡®light line¡¯ in the dim space.


    Looking further, within the endless dim Life Star space, there were faintly many twinkling stars, densely packed.


    ¡°Over this period of time, aside from the first star meridian, I have awakened more than thirteen thousand Life Stars,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°It¡¯s just a pity, many Life Stars do not belong to a single Life Star Vein.¡±


    Life Star Veins, consisting of 12,960 to 129,600 Life Stars.


    Only when 12,960 Life Stars belong to a single vein can they gather and form a new Life Star Vein.


    ¡°Branding!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was tranquil, his mighty spiritual power spread out, sensing the vast and dark starry sky.


    ¡°Sense the natural order of heaven and earth from above.¡±


    ¡°The human body is also a microcosm.¡± Li Yuan felt that his technique, having reached the intermediate rank of the fifth stage, made his spiritual power¡¯s perception of the Life Star space clearer¡­ The higher the technique and the stronger the spiritual power, the more it would help in branding Life Stars.


    Hum~


    Hum~ One by one, the Life Stars were locked by Li Yuan, and then gradually branded with his life¡¯s breath.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan continued to quietly cultivate in the martial arts room.


    About ¡®a thousand meters¡¯ above his villa.


    A flying saucer-shaped aircraft was silently hovering, making no sound.


    In the cabin¡¯s Quiet Cultivation Room, a man in black was quietly cultivating, surrounded by faint blue light.


    Countless blue lights swirled around him, making him seem like a Divine being.


    Whoosh~ Numerous beams of light converged, forming a giant screen, which displayed a young man in a suit.


    ¡°Star Master, the task has been completed,¡± the young man in a suit slightly bowed and said: ¡°Now, over seventy percent of the Flying Heaven Warriors around the world have received the message about Li Yuan and Dantai Feng.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, under our covert guidance, the names Li Yuan and Dantai Feng have transcended national boundaries, and their short videos are wildly spreading,¡± said the young man in a suit.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Is Star Lord Bai Shan ready?¡± the figure in black asked indifferently: ¡°The plan is so meticulous, let there be no accidents.¡±


    ¡°Star Lord Bai Shan has already arrived at Starfire University and is covertly observing,¡± the young man in a suit replied earnestly.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if, under such ongoing stimulation, those Alien Races are willing to take such a big risk,¡± said the figure in black casually.


    With a wave of his hand, he shut off the screen.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, who had been quietly cultivating in the martial arts room, was awakening more and more Life Stars.


    The number of awakened Life Stars continued to rise.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hum~¡± An invisible fluctuation burst forth from Li Yuan¡¯s body instantly, impacting in all directions.


    This aura wasn¡¯t particularly strong, but it was highly condensed, causing the surrounding Origin Power to increase significantly.


    ¡°The second Star Meridian, by my own efforts, has finally begun to awaken,¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    His gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡°[You have awakened the second Star Meridian, your Star Meridian Level has improved from level 10 to level 11]¡±

 Chapter 283 - 216: He Must Be Killed

    Chapter 283: Chapter 216: He Must Be Killed


    ¡°`


    ¡°I¡¯ve worked so hard for so long,¡±


    ¡°Finally, I have awakened more than 12,960 stars on the second Life Star Vein.¡± A glimmer of light flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, and a smile he couldn¡¯t suppress appeared at the corners of his mouth.


    In fact, Li Yuan had awakened over 15,000 life stars through his own sensation of countless stars.


    Even with strong spiritual power and high-level skills, Li Yuan still failed many times and had to stop midway to rest for a while before he could continue.


    That was with the benefit of the experiences of many human civilization predecessors.


    ...


    Thus, Li Yuan could imagine how difficult it must have been for the original Prime Warriors to create their laws centuries ago.


    ¡°On the foundation laid by our predecessors, I can easily find many common life stars,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°but they had to grope in the dark¡­ The number of times they failed must have been much higher than mine.¡±


    The original creators had a 99% failure rate in creating laws, no exaggeration.


    ¡°Now, as long as I spend enough time, lighting up the life stars one by one, I will undoubtedly grow step by step,¡± Li Yuan felt confident.


    After the last ¡°Spiritual Guidance,¡± Li Yuan was quite eager to see how many more unawakened ¡®life stars¡¯ there were in the star space.


    Now, with strong spiritual power and superior skills, time and effort would surely lead to success.


    ¡°The second Star Meridian has been preliminarily awakened, and its level has been raised by one?¡± Li Yuan mused, observing the data displayed on the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.6 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 62,500 kilograms


    Speed: 109.6 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 30.3


    Willpower: Level 31


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 37.9% (current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: Level 11 (cultivation efficiency 10 + 0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 31%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 31%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ¡­


    The first Star Meridian was perfectly awakened, with all 129,600 life stars without flaws, hence a level 10 Star Meridian.


    The second Star Meridian¡¯s initial awakening raised it by one level.


    ¡°Does that mean, for every additional 12,960 life stars awakened on a Star Meridian, it can be raised by one level?¡± Li Yuan speculated.


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s conjecture, and accurate conclusions still required more examples.


    ¡°But what does the cultivation efficiency of 10 + 0.5 displayed after the Star Meridian mean?¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°A total cultivation efficiency of 10.5?¡±


    How was that calculated?


    After a little thought, Li Yuan came up with a possibility, but it too needed to be verified.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try.¡± S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan gently closed his eyes and activated the two Star Meridians with a thought. Instantaneously, countless tiny sparkles of light bloomed inside his body, converging to form filaments¡­ in the past, only one filament formed, but now two were forming.


    One was dazzling, with dense points of light.


    The other was rather dim.


    Origin Power surged tumultuously from the outside world along the two filaments into Li Yuan¡¯s body, following the circulation of the Star Meridians, attempting to further strengthen his flesh and bones¡­ But it was to no avail, as Li Yuan had only recently finished cultivating ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars.¡±


    It was as if he had already eaten his fill.


    However, with his strong spiritual power, Li Yuan quickly came to a preliminary conclusion.


    ¡°This additional Star Meridian doesn¡¯t have as great an effect as I imagined; it¡¯s pretty close to what¡¯s shown on the Divine Palace panel. It has increased the efficiency of my Origin Power absorption by about 5%, which is consistent with the displayed ratio of 10 to 0.5,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Through the Divine Palace panel, Li Yuan had more speculations.


    If the highest-level Star Meridian was level 100, representing ten perfect Star Meridians with a cultivation efficiency of 100¡ªan extreme limit¡ª


    then each perfect Star Meridian would have an efficiency of 10.


    And for each Star Meridian that was initially awakened, each increase in level would raise the cultivation efficiency by about 0.5, with progressively larger increases as it approached a Perfect Star Meridian.


    ¡°Perhaps, this is the difference between perfection and imperfection,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Perhaps a level 9 Star Meridian could increase the efficiency by 6 or 7, but once it undergoes a transformation to a level 10 Perfect Star Meridian, it would skyrocket to 10.¡±


    All these were Li Yuan¡¯s guesses.


    ¡°Once I further improve the second-awakened Star Meridian, or even awaken the third and fourth ones, many secrets will naturally reveal themselves,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Li Yuan did not delve deeper.


    Many things, without precedent in the Seven Stars civilization or explanation from the Divine Palace panel, had to be explored and summed up on one¡¯s own.


    ¡°Strength,¡±


    ¡°Only by striving to make myself stronger will everything eventually become clear,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Higher cultivation efficiency is never a bad thing.¡±

    Starting at seven in the morning, as Li Yuan expected, he began to receive more and more messages.


    Many old classmates who hadn¡¯t been in touch much for the past six months¡­ all sent him messages.


    Even his younger brothers and sisters messaged him, asking if he had won the championship in the competition.


    He had become a sensation!


    Li Yuan was thoroughly sensationalized, and he checked the views on that short video again, which had exceeded 400 million, surpassing Dantai Feng¡¯s 220 million by a long shot.


    He glanced at the time.


    ¡°I should ask Lord Yang of the Province,¡± Li Yuan decided, and dialed the V-communication number of the other party.


    Among the high-ranking officials of the Starfire Martial Hall at the Flying Heaven level, he only knew Lord Yang, and they had barely interacted before.


    This was also why Li Yuan hadn¡¯t rashly inquired the night before, as he didn¡¯t know who to ask.


    Just over ten seconds later, the communication connected.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± A gentle female voice came through the communication.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m Li Yuan,¡± Li Yuan responded, ¡°Lord Yang, I¡¯m sorry to disturb you so early, but I wanted to ask¡­ why did the Martial Hall quickly produce a short video of my competition? Logically, shouldn¡¯t the news have been suppressed?¡±


    ¡°That matter?¡± The gentle voice carried a hint of confusion, ¡°I¡¯ve only just learned about it myself¡­ I don¡¯t fully understand the details; it was an order from a higher authority,¡±

 Chapter 284 - 216: He Must Be Killed_2

    Chapter 284: Chapter 216: He Must Be Killed_2


    ¡°I was just about to notify you.¡±


    ¡°Just one thing, don¡¯t leave Kunlun Martial University recently, and in the next few days, occasionally go out during the day to take a stroll around the school, like visiting the Heilong Building, the Vermilion Bird Building, and the like,¡± said the gentle female voice. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about anything else.¡±


    ¡°Not leave Kunlun Martial University? Go out for a stroll?¡± Li Yuan thought, a possibility flashing through his mind.


    Sometime later.


    Both parties hung up the communication.


    Li Yuan fell into deep thought. Logically, a genius of his level, like Dantai Feng, should be doing their utmost to conceal their information.


    ...


    After all, although few, there definitely are alien race spies hidden within human civilization.


    Why then, make such a public announcement?


    It was as if they were worried others wouldn¡¯t know.


    ¡°The higher-ups aren¡¯t fools,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself. ¡°By doing this, they most likely want to use Dantai Feng and me as bait to lure out the big fish in hiding.¡±


    Still, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t completely make sense of it.


    This crazy publicity, it seemed too deliberate¡­ An alien race powerhouse that could go unnoticed, would definitely not be a fool.


    Baiting with a direct hook!


    Would the alien race fall for it?


    ¡°The higher-ups must have their reasons for doing this,¡± Li Yuan murmured, shaking his head slightly. ¡°It¡¯s not up to me to decide now.¡±


    If what he guessed was true, using himself as ¡®bait¡¯ did not bother Li Yuan in the slightest.


    ¡°In a sense, it only shows that I¡¯ve become extremely important.¡± Li Yuan saw the situation very clearly, like how senior Liu Jing and others defended the Mingxu Star Realm, as a sacrifice.


    Many times, to win a major victory, there always needs to be those who are willing to take risks and to sacrifice.

    Time passed by, day by day.


    The third round of the ¡®elimination¡¯ virtual battles continued, with 990 martial path geniuses from all over the globe.


    Geniuses of the martial path like Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, Tian Dazhuang, Zhu Tong, all had to fight desperately round after round, striving to defeat opponent after opponent to secure one of the ten remaining spots in the finals.


    Among the many martial path geniuses from Xia Country, the ones who directly advanced to the finals were only Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Yu Mingwei.


    From February 11th to February 18th, there were no matches for him during this week.


    Li Yuan was at leisure.


    He continued to train methodically, and according to Lord Yang of the Province¡¯s orders, he visited the Heilong Building daily¡­ but it was apparent, his fame was skyrocketing.


    Wherever he went, he was the focus of attention.


    In just two days, the global views of that short video had already surpassed 2 billion views.


    The number of followers on Li Yuan¡¯s V-blog surged from just over a hundred thousand to over 20 million.


    In the truest sense, he became a sensation overnight across the entire virtual network.


    It¡¯s a pity, though, that Li Yuan did not engage in commercial promotions or live broadcasting¡­ For activities that affected his training and inner peace, he always disregarded them.


    Meanwhile.


    Every time Li Yuan went out, he was extremely vigilant, his powerful spiritual power continuously diffusing around him. Any life that entered his line of sight or perception could not escape his ¡®Divine Palace Inquiry.¡¯


    After all, although Li Yuan believed that the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall had laid traps secretly, he couldn¡¯t afford to be careless himself.


    Unfortunately¡­ there were no anomalies.


    ¡­


    Blue Star, with its vast expanses, was home to over a hundred billion humans, and over the centuries, numerous star realm portals had emerged.


    Most star realms were either very small or didn¡¯t require much resource investment in surveillance, like the Moon Demon Star Realm, the Mingxu Star Realm, and others.


    But there were a few star realms, broad and vast, nurturing countless treasures, and connected to some powerful foreign civilizations, that had thus¡­ erupted into war.


    For example, the Rob Sea Star Realm within the boundaries of Xia Country.


    And another example ¡ª the Wanhan Star Realm!


    As the only ¡°Third Level Star Realm¡± on Blue Star, with a vast expanse that has fostered many precious rarities and is connected to many different foreign temporal spaces,


    the Wanhan Star Realm has always been a battleground for many civilizations such as the Seven Stars human civilization, Tianliang human civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and others, attracting a large convergence of Flying Heaven powerhouses.


    The entire star realm, with its largest diameter exceeding one million kilometers¡­ the native life force it has nurtured is also extremely powerful.


    All of this has made Wanhan Star Realm incredibly chaotic, with constant warfare.


    Today.


    Wanhan Star Realm, in one mysterious location beneath the continuous glaciers, deep underground,


    within a majestic hall,


    a figure in a purple robe sat cross-legged, silently tapping the projection light screen in front of him, browsing through a large amount of information, with both text and video¡­ If one looked closely, they would see that Li Yuan was appearing in the video.


    After perusing all the information,


    he pondered for a long while.


    ¡°Huh!¡± With a wave of his hand, the figure in the purple robe tapped the light screen, entering a special communication channel.


    Dial!


    Drip~ Drip~ As time passed, the figure in the purple robe waited patiently.


    A full ten minutes later,


    ¡°Zi Xin, what¡¯s the matter? You need to call me directly?¡± a deep voice sounded.


    ¡°Number Three.¡±


    ¡°This time, it¡¯s your turn to take action,¡± the figure in the purple robe said with a raspy voice, ¡°I need you to kill someone.¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± the deep voice referred to as ¡®Number Three¡¯ asked.


    ¡°The newly emerging genius from Xia Country, Li Yuan,¡± the figure in the purple robe named the target, ¡°He is currently at Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°Impossible,¡± the deep voice resolutely refused, ¡°I¡¯m aware of his file as well, but such large-scale publicity is definitely the high echelons of Starfire Martial Hall using him as bait¡­ Even if I go, the failure rate is extremely high.¡±


    ¡°I even suspect that he¡¯s not at Kunlun Martial University and has already been secretly moved,¡± said the deep voice.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry about that,¡± the figure in the purple robe said, ¡°He is indeed at Kunlun Martial University, without a doubt, this has been verified by us through multiple covert checks in the past few days¡­ we all know Starfire Martial Hall is luring us in, but the bait is real.¡±


    ¡°And we must take this bait,¡±


    ¡°Even if it means the fish dies, we must take the bait.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan poses too great a threat, no matter how the other side is enticing us, there¡¯s one truth in the promotional video¡­ he indeed has the potential to reach the Semi-Divine Level,¡± the figure in the purple robe said, ¡°No one wants the Seven Stars human civilization to gain an additional Demigod.¡±


    The one called Number Three fell silent.


    Indeed.


    This is clearly a trap, but the bait is real; this is an obvious stratagem.


    ¡°Precisely because we know it¡¯s a trap, we¡¯re not dispatching Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¨Cit would mean certain death,¡± the figure in the purple robe said, ¡°Only you, who practice the ¡®Blood Shadow¡¯ Star Technique, once you send out a Blood Shadow Incarnation¡­ even if the Seven Stars human civilization sends a Demigod lying in wait here, at most they can kill your clone.¡±


    ¡°Even at the cost of losing a Blood Shadow Incarnation, he must be killed.¡±


    ¡°Besides, we¡¯ve verified that Bai Shan Semi-Divine is in the capital guarding Dantai Feng.¡±


    Number Three kept silent.


    In Xia Country, or rather, on Blue Star, there are only a few Demigod-level existences.


    If Bai Shan is not at Kunlun Martial University, then if he makes a move, the chances of success are indeed high.


    At least the chance of perishing is very small.


    ¡°Can¡¯t we wait a little longer? There will always be an opportunity,¡± Number Three said in a low voice.


    ¡°Do you think, after missing this chance, the Seven Stars human civilization will give us another opportunity?¡± the figure in the purple robe sighed, ¡°After this battle, Li Yuan will definitely go to Feixing¡­ are you thinking of assassinating him under Dongfang Ji¡¯s watchful eye?¡±


    Number Three fell silent again.


    ¡°Three Blood Demon Heart Fruits,¡± the figure in the purple robe finally threw out the offer, ¡°Sufficient to compensate for the loss of your Blood Shadow Incarnation in battle.¡±


    ¡°Fine,¡± Number Three finally agreed.


    He knew that this time, the clan was indeed sparing no expense.

 Chapter 285 - 217: Returning Alive (Extra 19)

    Chapter 285: Chapter 217: Returning Alive (Extra 19)


    ¡°`


    Time elapsed, and in the blink of an eye, it was February 16, leaving only two days until the finals of the virtual battle.


    After four in the afternoon.


    Li Yuan, who had been going out for several days in a row, unusually stayed at home today.


    Because the sky poured with torrential rain, clouds heavy and the atmosphere gloomy.


    In such weather, it was naturally more comfortable to stay at home.


    ...


    ¡°Stellar Spear Technique, the Third Layer¡ªGalaxy Convergence.¡± Li Yuan was in the underground Martial Arts Room, seriously practicing his spear technique.


    The shadows of the spear shifted, the air itself seemed to twist, and even the solid walls of the Martial Arts Room were scored with numerous scratches while the floor had become uneven.


    The Martial Arts Room, which was strong enough to withstand the full-on combat of a Level 19 Martial Artist, was showing signs of wear under the daily intensive training from Li Yuan.


    After practicing for a long while, Li Yuan finally stopped.


    ¡°It looks like I¡¯ll need to apply for a new place from the school after this competition,¡± he mumbled to himself, scanning the walls and floor.


    The school had many specially made houses with larger Martial Arts Rooms and better materials that could easily withstand the bursts of a normal Prime Warrior¡¯s training.


    However, their construction was much more expensive and required a personal application.


    Li Yuan guessed that the school teachers had probably never seen a freshman requesting to change villas before.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan slowly retracted his spear, his breath gradually stabilizing as he glanced at the Divine Palace panel: ¡°After stepping into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, my spear technique¡¯s progression has indeed slowed down.¡±


    ¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.7 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 63,900 kilograms


    Speed: 110.9 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 30.3


    Willpower: Level 32


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 37.9% (Current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: Level 11 (Training Efficiency 10+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 32%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 32%), Fist Technique (Perfection)


    ¡­


    ¡°My physical quality has been steadily improving,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Even willpower has improved by one level after such a long period of honing with the Visualization Method.¡±


    But the progress of the spirit, as well as spear and movement techniques, was sharply declining.


    Or rather, it¡¯s not that Li Yuan¡¯s progress was slow, but that his techniques and spiritual power were quickly under transformation, and the disparity between each level afterward was becoming increasingly vast.


    Especially the techniques.


    It should be noted that Li Yuan, relying on a Flying Heaven-level soul, managed to extrapolate his spear technique from 20% of the Fifth Stage to 29% in just about half a month.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just broken through to the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, and it should be the time of rapid advancement. Practicing my spear technique every day, I feel the progress myself,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°But after a week, it only improved by 2%.¡±


    The progress would only get slower in the future.


    At this rate, Li Yuan felt it would take at least half a year to reach the limit of the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, let alone when he could step into the High Rank of the Fifth Stage¡­ that¡¯s an unknown.


    ¡°No wonder they say that for Blue Star¡¯s top geniuses, managing to reach the Perfection Level of the Fifth Stage before the age of 30 means they¡¯re extremely successful,¡± Li Yuan reflected.


    Now, he had a personal understanding of this.


    This was still under the circumstances of having a ¡®Flying Heaven-level soul¡¯¡ªwithout it, his progress would have slowed even more.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan vaguely sensed something and subconsciously looked up, whispering to himself, ¡°Teacher?¡±


    Even though he was practicing in the underground Martial Arts Room, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was always radiating outward.


    The entire villa, and even the movements in the vicinity, could hardly escape Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense perception.


    In terms of perception ability, although Li Yuan was not on par with a real Flying Heaven Warrior, he outclassed many Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Time to greet the teacher,¡± Li Yuan moved, placing the Black Chen Spear back on the weapon rack.


    He had already left the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡­¡±Teacher, what brings you here all of a sudden today?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile as he welcomed Li Yang through the door.


    After brewing some tea.


    Li Yuan sat down with Li Yang in the living room on the first floor, making themselves comfortable on the sofa.


    ¡°Just dropping by to see how you¡¯re doing,¡± Li Yang said with a smile. ¡°The school suspended classes this week to allow students to watch the battles, but I¡¯ve noticed you¡¯ve never gone to the competition space.¡±


    ¡°Busy with training,¡± Li Yuan responded with a smile, without much explanation.


    To watch the battles? In fact, Li Yuan had gone a few times; he¡¯d watched one or two matches involving high-level fighters like Jin Huguo and Dantai Feng, but as for the other matchups¡­ they were a pure waste of time.

    Li Yuan naturally did not go, so it seemed as if he hardly ever appeared in the competition space.


    ¡°How is your spear technique coming along?¡± Li Yang asked with a smile.


    ¡°Difficult,¡± Li Yuan replied with a nod.


    ¡°Haha, to hear a peerless genius like you say it¡¯s difficult means that it must indeed be challenging,¡± Li Yang laughed. ¡°The cultivation of Fifth Stage skills is a step-by-step process of comprehending the cosmos, making the body gradually blend with the world. It¡¯s really tough, but your speed of progress is already quite strong.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile; indeed, he was fast enough.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. Even though Nevsky¡¯s breakthrough is confirmed, and there are several like Yin Man and Kunale who are suspected to have made breakthroughs, even if they have, it won¡¯t have been for long,¡± Li Yang said cheerfully. ¡°The gap is very small, and in a fight to the death¡­ it depends even more on your performance in the moment.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    From his own experience, in a fight between Fifth Stage experts, if the gap in skills exceeded 10%, it was usually difficult to win.


    But if the difference was only 5% or even less? The disparity in strength was minimal.


    ¡°The elimination rounds will end today, and tonight the final ten slots for the finals will be decided,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°If you¡¯re interested, you might want to take a look.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that meaningful,¡± Li Yuan replied, shaking his head with a smile. ¡°Mostly it¡¯s Fifth Stages against Fourths, and there¡¯s only one battle between Fifth Stages. I¡¯ll see if I have the time.¡±


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s up to you,¡± said Li Yang with a laugh.


    In this virtual battle, the emergence of high-level Fifth Stage fighters wasn¡¯t particularly plentiful, with only 21 talents including the two who had broken through in the knockout stages.


    Not too few, but not too many either.


    However, with Li Yuan and Dantai Feng, two freshman participants in this finals, this virtual battle was destined to be remembered by posterity.


    Li Yang did not talk about the idea of ¡®seizing the championship.¡¯


    Although the higher echelons of Kunlun Martial University harbored this desire, none of them actually mentioned it, as they all did not want to impose too much pressure on Li Yuan.


    ¡°There are a few more things,¡± Li Yang said cheerfully. ¡°First is the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, which I¡¯ve managed to purchase through other channels¡­ it¡¯s already arranged to be sent to Jiang City.¡±


    ¡°Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, unable to hide the excitement in his gaze.


    ¡°Yes, there will be no mistake,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange for a medical team as well¡­ to ensure that your uncle is safe and sound and fully recovered.¡±


    Li Yang understood Li Yuan¡¯s worries and knew what Li Yuan cared for the most.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Ha ha, I should be the one thanking you,¡± Li Yang laughed. ¡°Just a Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, it¡¯s nothing compared to what I¡¯ve gained.¡±


    Some things Li Yang didn¡¯t mention.


    His spiritual power had transformed to the Flying Heaven Level, and after just half a month of cultivation, he had already vaguely seen the hope of a breakthrough.


    The bottleneck was loosening.


    ¡°Another matter is about that suspect from an Alien Race you discovered last time in Jiangnan Province,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°You remember, right? After the investigation these days, we have preliminarily confirmed¡­ it indeed is a spy from the Tianliang Clan, although we haven¡¯t completely netted them yet.¡±


    ¡°Really an Alien Race?¡± A mysterious light flickered in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    So, the Divine Palace¡¯s inquiry could actually lock onto alien spies?


    Alas, the Divine Palace inquiry can only identify those within 10 levels above one¡¯s own, and can¡¯t probe beyond that threshold.


    ¡°Yes, your eyes are indeed sharp,¡± Li Yang laughed. ¡°Although we haven¡¯t completely closed the net, the merit you¡¯re due has already been preliminarily counted towards you.¡±


    ¡°Plus the great merit you earned in the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯s Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    ¡°Mm, just like in that very popular promotional video you made recently, you¡¯ve already qualified for a Third Class Gold Medal,¡± Li Yang said. ¡°There should be an official award ceremony for you soon.¡±


    ¡°A Gold Medal?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    This was an honor that most Prime Warriors didn¡¯t possess, which also entailed many privileges.


    ¡°How is the situation in the Mingxu Star Realm now?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°When you and Liu Jing first helped us establish that rudimentary base, ahead of the Tianliang Clan¡­ now we¡¯ve almost locked in the victory. It¡¯s just that the battle with the Tianliang Clan is very fierce, and we have suffered many casualties,¡± Li Yang said with emotion. ¡°As the first discoverer of the mine, I estimate in another ten days or half a month, once the battle situation is completely over¡­¡±


    ¡°Then, the rewards will be distributed.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    According to Senior Liu Jing, should we finally seize control, at least there should be a reward of ten billion Blue Star Coins for myself¡­ which is astounding.


    Money, Li Yuan had always taken very seriously.


    For instance, there were over ten billion Blue Star Coins to Li Yuan¡¯s name now, which might seem plentiful. But once one becomes a Prime Warrior, just buying some treasures for cultivating Origin Power Secret Techniques, Body Secret Techniques¡­ each is a veritable gold pit.


    This amount of money was simply not enough.


    This was also why Li Yuan was so eager to aim for the top three or even first place in the virtual battle.


    It was not only to prove to the higher-ups in Xia Country that they chose the right person.


    On the other hand, just the Heavenly Materials Treasures worth 20 billion Blue Star Coins alone were incredibly attractive.


    ¡­


    After sending off Teacher Li Yang, who had informed Li Yuan of many things, it also gave him plenty to think about and reflect on regarding his own cultivation.


    He had just returned to the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Master, Lin Lanyue is calling,¡± the voice of the assistant AI sounded: ¡°Video communication.¡±


    ¡°Lanyue?¡± Li Yuan paused, then said, ¡°Answer!¡±


    Beep~


    Countless beams of light shot out, quickly converging to form a holographic projection screen. In the projection appeared a figure in a red robe.


    ¡°Lanyue,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Why are you suddenly looking for me?¡±


    Throughout this long period, through countless interactions and encounters, their relationship had become very good, already subtly surpassing that of mere classmates.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing urgent.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just about to head to Feixing, so I wanted to tell you before I leave,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a gentle smile. ¡°After all, once I enter the Star Realm, it will be difficult to keep in touch.¡±


    ¡°The Fierce Feather Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    He had learned the name of the Star Realm from their last conversation two days prior and had looked up some information.


    It was a Second-Level Star Realm, highly dangerous.


    The overall situation bore some resemblance to the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ It seemed that a grand battle had not erupted, yet it was filled with secrets and perils.


    The native existence of Flying Heaven Level in the Fierce Feather Star Realm was not few.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Lin Lanyue nodded and smiled. ¡°The itinerary is already arranged. I can¡¯t watch you win the championship in the virtual battle, so I¡¯ll just have to congratulate you when I come back alive.¡±


    ¡°Okay, for your congratulations, I will do my best to win the championship too,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    Then Li Yuan changed the topic and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Will there be any danger to life?¡±


    As he finished asking, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. ¡°What a foolish question.¡±


    How could there be no danger to life when adventuring in the Star Realm?


    ¡°There is danger.¡±


    ¡°But for me, some things must be done. If not now, I¡¯ll still have to do them later,¡± Lin Lanyue said calmly. ¡°I have no choice.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Though Lin Lanyue didn¡¯t say much, Li Yuan could guess some of it¡­ The children of great families did not have it as carefree as ordinary people imagined, and aside from a few profligates, most of them fought very hard.


    And in fact, Lin Lanyue¡¯s rate of improvement in strength had somewhat exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    Over the span of half a year.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s Martial Arts Skills had progressed from the early Fourth Level to High-Ranked Fourth Level. Although not as advanced as Tian Dazhuang¡¯s level, the progress was still striking.


    As time passed, the two of them continued to chat slowly.


    ¡°Make sure to come back alive,¡± Li Yuan finally couldn¡¯t help saying, a hint of inexplicable worry in his heart.


    ¡°I will.¡±


    ¡­


    After hanging up the video call with Lin Lanyue.


    Li Yuan felt an unexplained sense of anxiety and worry within.


    ¡°Hopefully, everything will be fine,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, pushing down various thoughts and trying to calm his heart.


    He continued to practice in silence.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away from where Li Yuan was unaware, in a small town, within an inconspicuous house.


    ¡°Blood Shadow!¡±


    A black-robed figure stood in the room.


    In front of him was another figure.


    The figure looked exactly like him but was dressed in a blood-colored robe, emanating a strange aura.


    ¡°Rainy night!¡±


    ¡°Perhaps it truly is a heaven-sent opportunity,¡± the black-robed figure mused as he sat there, deep in thought.


    Whoosh!


    That blood-robed figure moved slightly, blending in with the darkness as if merging with the shadows.


    He was heading toward Kunlun Martial University.

    ¡°`


    Spanning hundreds of kilometers, a Flying Heaven Warrior, if flying at full speed, could arrive in just a few minutes.


    However, that would make too much noise.


    For ¡®Number Three¡¯, he knew for certain that there would be Flying Heaven Peakers guarding Kunlun Martial University, protecting Li Yuan. If he were to fully unleash his power, he might be intercepted before he could even get close.


    Fight with a Flying Heaven Warrior? Number Three was not interested.


    As one of the most terrifying assassins of the Tianliang Civilization infiltrating the Seven Stars human civilization, he was an ace, rarely making a move¡­ But once he did, it would be earth-shattering, and the target¡¯s value astonishingly high.


    ...


    Across the Blue Star, targets of Li Yuan¡¯s caliber had not appeared for a long time.


    It should be noted that even for Yu Jinghe, Number Three, after some analysis, had chosen to refrain from acting, unwilling to take the risk.


    But Li Yuan? No choice!


    ¡°Geniuses of the Seven Stars human civilization, if only having the potential to reach the peak of Flying Heaven, are not worth my effort.¡± Number Three was clear on this: ¡°Only those with the potential to become Demigods.¡±


    The Flying Heaven Realm, it was only the beginning of transcending the mundane, still carrying the word ¡®mundane¡¯. They still fell within the understanding of ordinary people and could theoretically still be killed using conventional technological weapons.


    A Demigod, however, already had a touch of the divine.


    A civilization can only stabilize itself by giving birth to Demigods, like a tree with a main trunk that can flourish and become lush.


    If a civilization can produce a group of Demigods, then it can truly be considered powerful, standing tall between heaven and earth, fearless of most storms.


    ¡°According to the records, Xia Country gave birth to a total of three Demigods,¡± Number Three¡¯s true body sat cross-legged in the inconspicuous house in the small town.


    His consciousness was entirely focused on the ¡®Blood Shadow Incarnation¡¯, which blended into the rainy night and continued to move forward.


    The Stealth speed of the Blood Shadow Incarnation was very slow.


    It only moved a few hundred meters per second.


    However, whether it was rivers and mountains along the way or the streets and houses of the towns they passed¡­ mere terrain offered no obstacle to his progress.


    ¡°One, Dongfang Ji, stationed at Feixing.¡±


    ¡°One, Dantai Lie, guarding the entrance to the Wanhan Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Only the oldest Star Lord Bai Shan remains, far away in the Central Capital of Xia Country. After I kill him and turn into a shadow to flee, Bai Shan will take at least ten minutes to arrive, and he won¡¯t be able to track me,¡± Number Three thought to himself: ¡°The other Flying Heavens secretly guarding? They can at most kill my Blood Shadow Incarnation.¡±


    He had absolute confidence in the Star Techniques he practiced.


    Star Techniques!


    They were mighty powers developed based on the Star Meridians in the body, requiring immense Origin Power to drive¡­ Any Star Technique, once mastered, held unbelievable power.


    The stronger and more numerous the Star Meridians, the more potent and numerous the Star Techniques that can be cultivated.


    The Life Star is the source, the Star Meridians are the foundation.


    For instance, the two major Star Techniques that Number Three practiced, ¡®Blood Shadow Star Technique¡¯ and ¡®Shadow Star Technique,¡¯ allowed him to create ¡®Blood Shadow Incarnations¡¯ and to move unseen in darkness, respectively, both unique even among the Tianliang Clan.


    Those two major Star Techniques, working together, had allowed him to breach the defenses guarded by Demigods of the Seven Stars human civilization and infiltrate Blue Star.


    Direct combat? Number Three was rather average at the Flying Heaven level.


    But under the combined effect of the two Star Techniques, he became an extremely terrifying Flying Heaven assassin.


    This was also why the Tianliang Clan chose him for the task.


    Choose any other Infiltrator? Spy? They would undoubtedly die facing the traps set by the Seven Stars human civilization.


    Only Number Three, he was sufficiently confident.


    About fifteen minutes later.


    Number Three¡¯s Blood Shadow Incarnation was gradually getting close to the location of Kunlun Martial University, becoming increasingly cautious in his movements.


    ¡°Many powerful beings.¡± Number Three¡¯s consciousness, hidden in the Incarnation, carefully perceived his surroundings while concealing his aura.


    He dared not release his spiritual power at all.


    Kunlun Martial University, as one of the Seven Stars human civilization¡¯s vital places, was constantly staffed by more than four Flying Heaven Warriors, each of whom¡­ felt as scorching as the sun to Number Three¡¯s senses.


    Fortunately, the Blood Shadow Incarnation was not Number Three¡¯s true form, carrying little of his Soul Power, difficult for other Flying Heaven levels to detect.


    At the same time.


    Number Three could also sense that there were some extremely terrifying things hidden within Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Origin Power Array, as expected, containing lethal attacks,¡± Number Three became even more vigilant.


    Suddenly, his Blood Shadow Incarnation stopped, frowning: ¡°The rainy night is conducive to my advance, the weather can interfere with one¡¯s perception.¡±


    ¡°But today¡¯s rain is far too heavy.¡±


    Abnormally heavy.


    Downpours like this in the northwest of Xia Country during winter?


    But Number Three didn¡¯t think much of it, as so far, he hadn¡¯t noticed anything particularly out of the ordinary.


    Time passed.


    Finally, Number Three infiltrated outside the villa area belonging to the Sixth Institute, but he dared not be the slightest bit careless.


    ¡°As expected, there is a Flying Heaven level existence closely guarding, such obvious spiritual fluctuation.¡± Number Three continued as the map directed.


    At this moment.


    He was only about 500 meters away from Li Yuan¡¯s villa, and he didn¡¯t dare to get any closer because he sensed a Flying Heaven level presence within that villa.


    The aura didn¡¯t seem very strong, but it undoubtedly belonged to the Flying Heaven level.


    ¡°Wait!¡± Number Three was very patient, completely concealing his own aura, blending perfectly into the darkness.


    Instead, he felt reassured.


    If there were indeed an enormous trap laid, the Seven Stars human civilization would not leave such a glaring loophole.


    ¡°Perhaps, the Seven Stars human civilization¡¯s lethal trap is intended to lure top-grade Origin Martial Artists into attacking,¡± Number Three thought. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Time continued to flow.


    The rain gradually lessened, and the clouds covering Kunlun Martial University began to disperse, revealing the first light of dawn.


    A new day, which seemed to promise good weather.


    This Blood Shadow Incarnation was now completely concealed, with both blood circulation and heartbeats nearly nonexistent.


    He silently stared at the beautiful villa.


    Waiting for the villa owner to come out, or for the Flying Heaven level bodyguard to leave.


    He waited until daylight grew brighter.


    Around eight o¡¯clock in the morning, the clouds had completely cleared, the villa¡¯s surroundings were tranquil, with only the sounds of birds and insects.


    Occasionally, some students would leave the other villas.


    Finally.


    At Villa No. 61032, the Logistics Department¡¯s delivery staff brought meals to the front door.


    Soon the door moved, and a young man dressed in a black practice outfit walked out.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan, he is¡­ a Flying Heaven level soul?¡± Number Three was shocked to his core as he watched intently.


    He was able to sense other Flying Heaven level beings by feeling their spiritual fluctuations, a secret technique he had cultivated.


    Number Three then realized what had happened from last night until now.


    The ¡®Flying Heaven level Guardian¡¯ he believed in was actually Li Yuan himself!!


    This was absolutely staggering news.


    A First Rank Martial Artist, possessing a Flying Heaven level soul? Perhaps some Demigods could pay a great price to accomplish this, but what would be the point?


    Normally no one would do such a thing.


    Many thoughts flashed through Number Three¡¯s mind as he considered all the possibilities.


    The next instant.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Number Three¡¯s Blood Shadow Incarnation acted in a flash, without a hint of murderous intent, the sword was already thrust out abruptly.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± There was not the slightest disturbance in the air.


    Five hundred meters?


    For a Flying Heaven level being, they could easily fly at the speed of sound, and even several times faster when going all out.


    In just one second, Number Three¡¯s Blood Shadow Incarnation would be able to kill Li Yuan.


    Resist? No matter how skilled you are as a First Rank Warrior, there is no chance of survival.


    Chi~


    In an instant, Number Three¡¯s Blood Shadow figure had already covered three hundred meters, leaving less than two hundred meters remaining.


    At that moment, Li Yuan had just received his breakfast from the delivery person.


    ¡°You¡¯re as good as dead.¡± The eyes of the Blood Shadow Incarnation turned icy, and a thread of killing intent finally revealed itself.


    ¡­


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Li Yuan said politely, taking the breakfast.


    Suddenly, his pupils contracted, as his overwhelmingly powerful spiritual power instantly sensed something.


    Danger!


    Extreme danger!


    Li Yuan instinctively looked up.


    He saw a nearly transparent figure crossing the vast sky in a flash, a sword whistling as it thrust straight at him.


    With one glance, the assailant had closed in by dozens of meters again.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Li Yuan thought, greatly alarmed.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan instinctively cast the Spiritual Secret Technique, ¡°Soul Shock.¡±


    Escape? Li Yuan¡¯s mind reacted quickly, but his body was too slow to support any attempt at escape.


    ¡°Boom!¡± An overwhelming wave of spiritual fluctuation swept out like a river in flood, crashing into the Blood Shadow Incarnation¡¯s consciousness.


    It could only slightly affect it.


    As an incarnation of a Flying Heaven level being, Number Three¡¯s cultivated Blood Shadow Incarnation, despite containing little soul power, was still of the Flying Heaven level¡­ Blocking Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual shock wasn¡¯t difficult.


    At that moment.


    ¡°Die.¡± Number Three could no longer hide his murderous intent.


    Just as Number Three thought his success was inevitable and Li Yuan believed his death was certain,


    suddenly


    Boom!


    The vast sky seemed to darken, as if dense clouds and rain were enveloping it; both Li Yuan and Number Three¡¯s Blood Shadow Incarnation instinctively sent out a thread of their consciousness.


    They both sensed it.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    It was a drop of rain!


    From a kilometer high in the sky, a drop of rain hurtled towards them. This drop was moving so quickly, far surpassing Number Three¡¯s Blood Shadow Incarnation¡¯s burst¡­ Ten times the speed of sound? Twenty times?


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, as he vaguely saw many mysteries within that fleeting raindrop, containing the utmost beauty and truth of the universe, inspiring longing and reverence.


    It was like the ancient saying, ¡®Hear the Way in the morning, and you can die content in the evening.¡¯


    At that moment, from that single raindrop, Li Yuan had a vague glimpse of ¡®the Way¡¯, an origin of everything he sought after.


    A single raindrop!


    Insignificant at a glance, but when it embodies profound and supreme mystery, it holds an incomparable might.


    ¡°Puchi!¡±


    The raindrop had crossed the heavens and earth, landing on the forehead of Number Three¡¯s Blood Shadow Incarnation, where a flicker of terror flashed through his eyes.


    ¡°The Law? It¡¯s the legendary Law¡¯s Profound Meaning!¡± Number Three¡¯s consciousness dissipated instantly.


    Hum~


    In silence, the body, nearly transparent and with a robe faintly tinged with blood-red, burst apart like a bubble.


    Only weapons and Combat Armor fell to the ground.


    A single raindrop!


    A Flying Heaven level force had fallen.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was stunned, swallowing reflexively.


    The delivery person beside him was even more baffled, far weaker and not even fully realizing what had just occurred.


    ¡°That was?¡±


    Li Yuan looked up towards the sky, not having noticed before, but now finally seeing clearly.


    At a kilometer¡¯s height, a young figure in black clothes was standing in mid-air.


    Eye contact!


    As Li Yuan looked up at him, the black-clothed figure also looked down, peering at Li Yuan.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan felt as if his very soul were thundering, his entire spiritual view dominated by the presence of the figure in black.


    A Divine Being!


    At that moment, to Li Yuan, the figure in black clothes seemed an omnipotent deity.

 Chapter 287 - 219: Shadow, Ive Been Waiting for You for a Long Time

    Chapter 287: Chapter 219: Shadow, I¡¯ve Been Waiting for You for a Long Time


    It was truly terrifying; at that moment, Li Yuan even had an illusion.


    It seemed that with just a thought from the other party, he could be killed.


    Boom~ Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness returned to clarity.


    ¡°Stay here and be good,¡± a gentle voice came into Li Yuan¡¯s ear.


    The next instant.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s vision, the black-clothed figure a kilometer up in the sky took one step, and the light around him seemed to twist.


    ... S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Then he disappeared without a trace.


    Boom!


    The sense of overcast clouds enveloping the world also vanished in an instant, and Li Yuan was completely back to normal.


    ¡°Who was that?¡± Li Yuan was indescribably shocked in his heart.


    He believed that the black-clothed figure he had just seen was definitely the most terrifying existence he had ever witnessed in his life.


    Without a doubt!


    He was definitely one of the peak existences of human civilization, far surpassing the average Flying Heaven level.


    After all, Li Yuan had seen Dean Hai, a Flying Heaven warrior, and the sense of oppression he brought couldn¡¯t even begin to be compared to the other party.


    They were not in the same league at all.


    ¡°A single raindrop, to kill a Flying Heaven-level warrior?¡± Li Yuan recalled the scene just now, a shiver going through his heart.


    It was utterly unimaginable.


    It had surpassed Li Yuan¡¯s understanding.


    ¡°Is it the power of heaven and earth? Sixth Stage techniques?¡± Many guesses emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Or even more sophisticated levels of skill?¡±


    It was too fantastical.


    If the other party had used a weapon, a sword or spear to kill the opponent, Li Yuan, while still shocked, would somewhat understand the realm of that power.


    But just a raindrop flicked from a fingertip? How was that possible!


    ¡°Is that mysterious and terrifying existence someone beyond the level of Flying Heaven? Has he been protecting me all along?¡± Li Yuan already thought of many possibilities in his heart.


    The assassination plot with himself as bait was most likely controlled by that black silhouette in the background.


    Just as Li Yuan was lost in his wild thoughts.


    Less than ten seconds passed.


    Boom! Boom! Two streaks of light swept across the vast sky, and two shadows flashed across the earth at high speed before rapidly converging into solid figures.


    One of them was Dean Hai.


    Their speed was fast, but in their Unity of Heaven and Man state, the disturbances they caused as they advanced were not too great.


    ¡°You two?¡± The delivery person was slack-jawed with amazement.


    Even with a slow reaction, he had a vague realization that he might have just experienced something significant.


    ¡°You can leave now,¡± Dean Hai said in a deep voice.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the delivery person nodded repeatedly, leaping onto the flying vessel and quickly drove it away.


    He did not want to get involved at all.


    ¡­Silence fell over the grassland.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you alright?¡± Dean Hai had landed on the ground and approached Li Yuan, his voice urgent: ¡°Are you hurt?¡±


    Dean Hai stared at Li Yuan.


    He was worried about Li Yuan¡¯s safety.


    Just now, both of them had suddenly sensed a terrifying fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth erupting.


    Especially Dean Hai, his first thought was of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Dean,¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°I¡¯m fine. I was just saved by a mysterious black-clothed predecessor.¡±


    The two great Flying Heaven warriors looked at each other, already having a rough understanding of what had transpired.


    ¡°It must be the Chancellor,¡± Dean Hai muttered.


    ¡°Definitely,¡± the other person, a lady in white, nodded firmly: ¡°According to the plan, we were just a cover, responsible for secret surveillance and protection, while the Chancellor took the lead.¡±


    ¡°The Chancellor?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    Was that mysterious black-clothed man the chancellor of Kunlun Martial University?


    Whew!


    Dean Hai waved his hand, and the weapons and combat armor lying at a distance flew before the two of them.


    Then a strand of Origin Power filament shot out from Dean Hai¡¯s hand, directly infusing the weapons.


    He seemed to be conducting an inquiry.


    After just a few seconds.


    ¡°Indeed, they are Third Rank weapons; only Flying Heaven warriors with an Origin Pill as their core or Prime Warriors who have mastered True Intent can activate them,¡± Dean Hai slowly said: ¡°The assassin, with a ninety-nine percent probability, is of the Flying Heaven level.¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven-level spy!¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s no fluctuation of an Origin Pill vanishing; it must be the Doppelganger Technique.¡±


    ¡°This is a very high-end Star Technique; among our warriors, very few in our civilization have successfully cultivated it,¡± Dean Hai said with a serious face: ¡°If nothing unexpected has happened, the assassin must be ¡®Shadow,¡¯ the most fearsome Flying Heaven assassin of the Tianliang Clan infiltrated within our Blue Star.¡±


    Clearly, Dean Hai knew a lot and was privy to many secrets.


    ¡°Shadow?¡±


    Upon hearing this, the white-clothed woman¡¯s face changed slightly, and she couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan: ¡°To think that Shadow personally made a move to assassinate you, you really live up to being recognized by the higher-ups as Blue Star¡¯s number one talent of the future,¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    The number one talent of the future of Blue Star? Did the higher-ups have such high expectations for him?


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t worry too much,¡± Dean Hai said: ¡°Surely you must have noticed, from the release of the short video to the Chancellor personally guarding, in reality, it was a killing formation deliberately set up¡­ orchestrated by the Chancellor himself.¡±


    ¡°Not telling you was just to make everything appear more real, to force the most terrifying of the infiltrators to show themselves.¡±


    ¡°The Chancellor dared to do so because he was absolutely confident,¡± Dean Hai said earnestly.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Sometimes, the higher-ups not telling him in advance naturally have their considerations.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°Dean Hai, who exactly is the Chancellor?¡±


    One move to kill a Flying Heaven level?


    With such strength, not only terrifying, was he merely the Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University?


    Could it be that all over Blue Star there were a large group of such terrifying beings?


    Dean Hai and the woman in white looked at each other.


    ¡°In fact, you¡¯ve heard his name before,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°Heard it before?¡± Li Yuan became even more confused.


    ¡°Previously, you were not qualified to know, but now you are nearly qualified.¡± Dean Hai smiled, ¡°The headmaster of Kunlun Martial University is just the least noticeable amongst his many identities. He has two other identities.¡±


    ¡°One identity is as the Star Master of the Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    ¡°The other identity is the ¡®Hall Master¡¯ of the Starfire Blue Star headquarters,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan listened, dumbstruck.


    The Star Master of the Seven Star Alliance? He had heard about that from Li Yang. But the Hall Master of the Starfire Blue Star headquarters? This, this!


    Among the three great Martial Halls, the Starfire Martial Hall is subtly ranked first. To be the Hall Master of Blue Star is absolutely one of the pinnacle existences of Blue Star.


    ¡°Then why would he be at our school¡­¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Why would such a supreme existence come to be a headmaster?


    ¡°He did not come to be the headmaster,¡± Dean Hai said with a faint smile. ¡°The location of our Kunlun Martial University happens to include a Star Realm, named the ¡®Kunlun Star Realm,¡¯ which is also a Second Level Star Realm. Over the past few decades, it has been showing a trend of upgrading to a Third Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Kunlun Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    Every additional Third Level Star Realm is a disaster to the entire human civilization.


    ¡°It is from that time that the headmaster came to assume the role,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh. ¡°Being the headmaster is incidental; in fact, he is responsible for guarding the entry and exit of the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°To prevent any unexpected incidents.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    ¡°The headmaster¡¯s name is Fang Hai,¡± Dean Hai said with an enigmatic smile. ¡°Yes, the very Fang Hai I used to mention to you so often.¡±


    Fang Hai?


    The headmaster is Fang Hai? Li Yuan¡¯s eyes bulged out in shock.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan was chatting with Dean Hai,


    Three hundred kilometers away from Kunlun Martial University, in a small town, inside a house.


    ¡°The Mystery of the Law!¡±


    ¡°A Demigod! Has Xia Country birthed another Demigod?¡± Number Three, clad in a black robe and having failed in his assassination, felt extremely shaken.


    He could have never imagined that a Demigod was secretly protecting this place.


    Demigods on Blue Star could be counted on one¡¯s fingers.


    Without any hesitation,


    Whoosh! Number Three immediately fled for his life.


    He was indeed scared.


    If it was a Flying Heaven Warrior, he was confident that he could escape without the opposition tracking him, but a Demigod? Especially one who grasped the Mystery of the Law? It was truly terrifying.


    Whatever dreadful methods the other party possessed were beyond Number Three¡¯s estimation.


    Without a sound,


    Without alerting anyone, Number Three had already escaped the town¡¯s vicinity and sprinted into the vast barren mountains and ranges.


    At this moment, he didn¡¯t even dare to burst forth at full speed, fearing he might cause too much disturbance in the natural world.


    Phew!


    As he kept fleeing, just a few minutes later, Number Three had already escaped by over a hundred kilometers, letting out a sigh of relief internally.


    Having escaped this far, and considering the previous three hundred kilometers, he should be beyond reach now, right?


    He had arrived at a vast and undulating mountain range.


    The sky to the northwest was boundless.


    Out of the blue,


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The color of the world changed. What was once a sunny sky instantly became overcast with clouds, followed by countless raindrops being spawned out of nowhere, pouring down.


    The whole world seemed transformed.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Number Three, who had just relaxed, turned pale, and no longer caring for caution, burst out with full force, his body burning with endless golden light, and his speed skyrocketing to more than five times the speed of sound.


    He soared into the sky!


    Attempting to break out of the scope of the gloomy rainy weather.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Yet again, a single raindrop, containing boundless terrifying power, shot towards the golden figure in a flash.


    Too fast.


    The speed of the raindrop far exceeded that of the golden figure, giving him a sensation of unavoidable doom.


    ¡°Again?¡± Number Three¡¯s expression changed, but his true strength as a primary entity was not comparable to that of a doppelganger. He suddenly roared, ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Whoosh! A dazzling golden light flashed by, ferociously striking at the raindrop.


    ¡°Sss~¡±


    In a silent collision, Number Three¡¯s charged attack instantly dissipated, and his entire body was violently thrown back, coughing up blood, his arms exploding into pieces.


    The entire figure plummeted towards the ground on all sides.


    He was severely wounded.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Number Three crashed into the ground full of rubble, the terrifying force causing the earth to tremble, smashing a large crater and kicking up countless clods of earth.


    Number Three struggled to get up and thought to continue fleeing.


    Whoosh!


    But an invisible force was already surging in from all directions, pinning him down so hard that even flying became difficult.


    Whoosh! A rope suddenly descended from the void, instantly binding both his arms and legs.


    In the distance high in the sky,


    The light warped and then returned to normal as a figure in a black robe seemed to step out from the void.


    He walked right up to Number Three.


    Number Three stared fiercely at the other party, trying to struggle, but could not break free.


    ¡°Shadow, I have been waiting for this day for a long time,¡± said a young man in black with a faint smile. ¡°The last time we met was over thirty years ago, wasn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Over thirty years ago?¡± Number Three was stunned, then his pupils constricted as if he realized something and almost cried out, ¡°You¡¯re Fang Hai?¡±


    ¡°To be commended, Shadow, you have a good memory,¡± the young man in black replied with a faint smile. ¡°Back then, you attempted to assassinate me three times; today, I set a trap once. Quite fair, I¡¯d say.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that your strength has improved too slowly. You were at the Thirty-First Level back then, and now you are still only at the Thirty-Third Level.¡±

 Chapter 288 - 220: Two Great Star Masters (Extra 20)

    Chapter 288: Chapter 220: Two Great Star Masters (Extra 20)


    ¡°Cultivation is slow?¡± Upon hearing Fang Hai¡¯s words, Number Three felt like vomiting blood.


    It had risen two levels in several decades.


    That was a very normal standard within the Flying Heaven Realm.


    After all, in most cases, when Flying Heaven Warriors mentioned peak Flying Heaven experts, they were usually referring to Level 35 martial artists.


    At the Flying Heaven level, the gap in strength between each level was very large.


    As for those above Level 36? They were not normally achievable within the Flying Heaven Realm and required extremely harsh foundational requirements.


    ...


    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s such a pity that I didn¡¯t kill you back then,¡± Number Three suddenly laughed ferociously. ¡°Especially the third assassination attempt, just a little bit more, and if Bai Shan hadn¡¯t arrived in time, you would have been dead for sure.¡±


    ¡°Just a little bit,¡± Number Three thought with unwillingness.


    Decades ago, the most dazzling talent in the entire Blue Star and the Seven Star human civilization was Fang Hai.


    As the most terrifying assassin of the Tianliang Clan infiltrated within Blue Star, he had struck multiple times.


    Even risking assassination under the protection of a demigod, he failed.


    The third assassination attempt cost him his Blood Shadow Incarnation, but he still managed to retreat safely, just never getting another chance to assassinate Fang Hai.


    Because, after the third attempt, by the time he had cultivated another Blood Shadow Incarnation, Fang Hai had already entered the Flying Heaven Level.


    Fang Hai looked at his opponent calmly, not the least bit angry.


    ¡°I can sense that you are still at the Flying Heaven Level,¡± Number Three stared intently at Fang Hai. ¡°At the Flying Heaven Level, yet you have grasped a trace of the Law¡¯s mystery¡­ Your talent is truly unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star human civilization has always propagated that you were trapped at the Flying Heaven Peak, but somehow, you have already reached this stage.¡±


    He felt some hatred in his heart.


    If he was already so formidable at the Flying Heaven Level, what if he broke through to become a Demigod? With a stronger foundation and further comprehension of the Mystery of Heaven and Earth¡­ How strong would he become? Number Three dared not even imagine.


    He could vaguely see that another terrifying existence, comparable to Dongfang Ji, was rising.


    And Fang Hai, so powerful yet deliberately not breaking through, what was he waiting for?


    Number Three couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    ¡°When I was a Prime Warrior, you couldn¡¯t kill me,¡± Fang Hai said faintly. ¡°Now? My strength is not something you can fathom.¡±


    ¡°You indeed are formidable,¡± Number Three stared at Fang Hai, his voice hoarse. ¡°Tell me, how did you track me down?¡±


    This was his biggest confusion.


    His Blood Shadow Incarnation had died, and he thought he fled at the first opportunity. How did Fang Hai, a Flying Heaven martial artist, manage it?


    ¡°No need to ask more,¡± Fang Hai said faintly.


    Although he had captured his opponent, Fang Hai had no intention of revealing his secrets; there might still be ways for his opponent to send messages.


    A strange smile appeared on Number Three¡¯s face: ¡°Back then, even Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t track me, but you could¡­ You must have cultivated some kind of tracking Star Technique with an extremely terrifying perception.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m certainly going to die,¡± he said.


    ¡°But Blue Star, as well as the entire Seven Star human civilization, will definitely be annihilated by us,¡± Number Three suddenly laughed out loud.


    Laughing.


    ¡°Boom~¡± A terrifying fluctuation suddenly exploded from within him, fierce and surging Origin Power roared, and then blasted out in all directions.


    The ropes that were originally binding Number Three couldn¡¯t withstand such a terrible shock at all.


    Whoosh!


    ¡°Origin Pill self-destruction?¡± Fang Hai frowned slightly and instantly retreated backwards, following the terrifying Origin Power shockwave that swept out like a storm in all directions.


    A tremendous shockwave also headed straight for Fang Hai.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Fang Hai pointed from afar.


    Rustle, rustle~ Countless raindrops appeared out of nowhere. In an instant, they condensed into an invisible giant hand that protected Fang Hai.


    ¡°Rumble!¡±


    It was like the explosion of a small nuclear bomb; the whole world thunderously exploded, and the terrible impact covered several kilometers, the shockwave sweeping even further.


    Fang Hai was also engulfed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sky clouded over with threatening rain, which then poured down like a deluge.


    Not long after.


    On the desolate plain, everything quieted down.


    Except for a big crater at the original spot, and the shockwave traveling in all directions¡­ It seemed as though nothing had happened.


    Who could have thought.


    A powerful Flying Heaven Warrior had just perished here.


    ¡°Indeed a decisive move,¡±


    ¡°I intended to be patient and talk until Bai Shan arrived,¡± Fang Hai still stood in the same spot, frowning slightly.


    The Flying Heaven Level self-destruction couldn¡¯t hurt him, it didn¡¯t even dirty his clothes.


    Though his realm was profound, he was only in the Flying Heaven Realm after all; he couldn¡¯t seal the Origin Pill of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    In short, if a Flying Heaven Warrior wanted to self-destruct in front of him, he couldn¡¯t stop it.


    Of course.


    If Fang Hai had been decisive enough just now and immediately decapitated his opponent, Number Three wouldn¡¯t have been able to self-destruct either.


    Fang Hai waited quietly in place, waving his hand. Many weapons lying on the ground fell into his hand.


    ¡°There are some treasures,¡± Fang Hai glanced over them briefly and paid no further attention.


    More than ten minutes later.


    Whoosh!


    A flash of white light appeared, and as the light solidified, an old man in white stood nearby; it was the Star Lord Bai Shan, who had interacted with Fang Hai before.


    ¡°Is he dead?¡± Star Lord Bai Shan looked around.


    ¡°He¡¯s dead. He wanted to self-destruct his Origin Pill, and I couldn¡¯t stop it,¡± Fang Hai said faintly. ¡°You¡¯re too slow.¡±


    ¡°I rushed as fast as I could, arriving at the earliest moment,¡± Bai Shan glared.


    Fang Hai smiled.


    He knew that the other party had been speeding over.


    ¡°Did you gain anything?¡± Star Lord Bai Shan asked.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t killing the Infiltrator the biggest gain? As for the rest, as a top-notch Infiltrator, he wouldn¡¯t leave too many clues,¡± Fang Hai said softly.


    ¡°Killing him is worth the many years I¡¯ve lain hidden.¡±


    ¡°Yes, this was the only opportunity,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan nodded. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know if the Infiltrator sent the message back, even if he didn¡¯t¡­ it¡¯s enough for the Tianliang Clan to deduce many secrets.¡± S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Let them guess,¡± Fang Hai said indifferently.


    Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan had nothing to regret.


    Killing the Infiltrator and removing such a deeply embedded thorn from Xia Country and Blue Star was success enough.


    Whether it was the Tianliang Clan.


    Or for other Foreign Civilizations to produce a similar Flying Heaven Level assassin, it would also be extremely difficult.


    Now that the Shadow is dead, not only Xia Country, but also the upper echelons of various countries across Blue Star can breathe a sigh of relief.


    In the past decades, Fang Hai had been concealing his strength and even whereabouts, just to prepare a Killing Formation at the right moment.


    Even before that.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors didn¡¯t even know that the Dean of Kunlun Martial University was the Starfire Blue Star Hall Master.


    ¡°Go see Li Yuan,¡±


    said Star Lord Bai Shan. ¡°Using him as bait for the setup without informing him in detail, you should still comfort him a bit to prevent any untoward thoughts from arising in his mind.¡±


    ¡°As a member of the Seven Star Civilization, one should have such awareness,¡± Fang Hai shook his head gently. ¡°How many things can be fully explained?¡±


    ¡°When it comes to geniuses, after all, they are treated differently,¡± laughed Star Lord Bai Shan.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing different,¡± said Fang Hai indifferently. ¡°When he takes your place, he will do the same.¡±


    Star Lord Bai Shan smiled and said no more.


    This time, the Killing Formation would definitely involve Li Yuan taking risks, including promotion and making public appearances.


    This was an open secret.


    It was to tell Alien Civilizations that indeed, here was a top-grade talent, and you have a great chance to assassinate him, and moreover, this is a trap.


    So.


    These Alien Civilizations either do nothing, and as soon as they consider taking action, they can only deploy their most top-grade infiltrating combatants to have any hope of a successful assassination.


    Therefore, Number Three came.


    Having escaped from a Demi-God¡¯s hands on several successful occasions, Number Three had sufficient confidence.


    In fact, had Fang Hai not been there, Number Three would still have been able to escape unscathed¡­ what a pity!


    Fang Hai, this once targeted assassin, after decades had passed, now stood at an exceedingly high level, capable of supporting a sky for the entire human civilization of the Seven Stars.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has entered the intermediate rank of the Fifth Stage and is also comprehending ¡®Meaning of the Stellar,''¡± said Fang Hai indifferently. ¡°As the founder of this Secret Manual, you should meet him. You¡¯re more suitable to guide his cultivation than I am.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan nodded.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two Star Lords quickly headed toward Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡­


    Kunlun Martial University.


    Dean Hai and a woman in white were still inside Li Yuan¡¯s villa.


    Li Yang had also arrived.


    The previous celestial phenomenon at the school flashed by and went unnoticed by anyone other than a few Flying Heaven Warriors, and a select number of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists like Li Yang¡­ other teachers and students didn¡¯t detect anything.


    When top-tier fighters clash, unless it¡¯s intentionally done so, or their strengths are so close that the battle becomes uncontrollable,


    usually, the power is extremely focused, and the resulting disturbances are smaller.


    Li Yang cautiously waited at the side.


    Li Yuan was chatting with Dean Hai, mainly listening while the Dean spoke.


    Through the conversation, Li Yuan learned many secrets he had never known before.


    These were things never revealed on the virtual networks.


    Not even found in the database of the Starfire Martial Hall¡­ of course, it might also be that Li Yuan¡¯s clearance wasn¡¯t high enough.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan sensed something; Dean Hai and the woman in white both looked up.


    Whirr~


    A figure in black quietly appeared in the void above them.


    His features were rugged, and at first glance, he looked like a young man in his late twenties, but his eyes were very profound.


    ¡°Dean,¡± said Dean Hai in a situation where it was inappropriate to call him Old Fang.


    ¡°Dean,¡± the woman in white, Li Yuan, and Li Yang all bowed slightly, very respectfully.


    ¡°You all stay here.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, come with me,¡± said the young man in black indifferently, looking down at everyone.


    As he spoke, he turned and flew toward the high sky.


    Li Yuan was stunned at this scene.


    How can I follow? I can¡¯t fly!


    The next second.


    Whirr~


    An invisible force suddenly enveloped Li Yuan and swiftly carried him towards the high sky.


    This force seemed gentle, yet it was overwhelmingly powerful, something Li Yuan couldn¡¯t possibly resist.


    Whiz! Whiz!


    The man in black took Li Yuan soaring into the sky, and as they reached high altitude, the light around both of them faintly warped and they vanished from the sight of Li Yang, Dean Hai, and the others.


    ¡°Dean, where did the Dean take Li Yuan?¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°He should be going to the Dean¡¯s office,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°The Dean¡¯s office?¡± Li Yang was startled, suddenly recalling that there was no such office in the entire school.


    Could it be that the Dean¡¯s office is in the sky?


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask too many questions,¡± Dean Hai glanced at Li Yang. ¡°Focus on your cultivation, and once you become a Flying Heaven Warrior and take my place, you¡¯ll naturally find out where the Dean¡¯s office is.¡±


    Li Yang fell silent.


    ¡­


    ¡°This place? Such a huge flying saucer craft?¡± Li Yuan looked around in astonishment.


    No matter what, Li Yuan had never imagined that such a massive flying vessel existed above the school.


    Standing in the campus, one simply couldn¡¯t see this vessel.


    He and the man in black were now standing on top of the craft, which had an extended platform.


    Without thinking much, Li Yuan¡¯s gaze involuntarily fell on the elder in white not far away.


    The elder wore a smile, appearing quite amiable.


    But!!


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled, for the elder¡¯s appearance¡­ was all too familiar.


    Li Yuan had seen him countless times, even having the elder¡¯s commemorative statue in his home.


    ¡°Are you¡­ Senior Bai Shan?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.

 Chapter 289 - 221 The Legend of the Seven Star Veins (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 289: Chapter 221 The Legend of the Seven Star Veins (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    ¡°Haha, your gaze is certainly sharp,¡± the elder in white laughed. ¡°To recognize me in a single glance.¡±


    ¡°Who in Xia Country doesn¡¯t know, doesn¡¯t recognize the venerable appearance of you, senior?¡± Li Yuan said with a respectful smile.


    This respect was from the bottom of his heart.


    In terms of strength, naturally, Dongfang Ji was the more powerful, indisputably the first person of civilization.


    But within the bounds of Xia Country, if speaking solely of prestige, perhaps this elder held a higher place.


    This was the accumulation of years, not something merely suppressible by strength alone.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan, using you as bait to set up a killing formation, you shouldn¡¯t have any objections, right?¡± the man in black spoke indifferently, looking at Li Yuan.


    His gaze was very calm.


    ¡°None at all, it¡¯s what should be done,¡± Li Yuan responded firmly. ¡°I trust the principal¡¯s decision.¡±


    The education from an early age had long ingrained in Li Yuan this awareness¡­ In a broader sense, the students of Martial Arts University were essentially pre-service soldiers.


    ¡°Even with trust, this matter poses some risk to you. After all, that is a formidable Flying Heaven assassin,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile. ¡°Of course, your principal is indeed powerful, far surpassing the Flying Heaven Level in some aspects.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, the result was good,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Principal, Dean Bai Shan, I heard from Dean Hai just now¡­ the one who died was that ¡®Shadow¡¯s¡¯ clone, right?¡±


    ¡°I have found his true body and killed him,¡± said Principal Fang Hai indifferently.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart jolted with surprise, growing even more curious about the principal.


    So powerful?


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be too surprised,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile. ¡°Your principal can do it, and in a few more years, once you reach the peak of Flying Heaven, maybe you¡¯ll be able to do it too¡­ perhaps even stronger than your principal.¡±


    Li Yuan laughed and said, ¡°The principal¡¯s past deeds have always been a goal that encourages me to move forward.¡±


    Just kidding, with Principal Fang Hai standing right there, how could one casually agree with such a statement? S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Perhaps Star Lord Bai Shan holds a higher status.


    But the current official is not as relevant as the current authority, so it¡¯s still important to follow the principal¡¯s lead.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Principal Fang Hai finally spoke, ¡°it was Dean Bai Shan himself who recently confirmed your selection for this year¡¯s second-class Martial God Inheritance quota in our Xia Country.¡±


    Li Yuan instantly understood the principal¡¯s intent and immediately responded respectfully, ¡°Thank you, Dean Bai Shan.¡±


    ¡°A small thing.¡±


    ¡°This quota, which we in Xia Country must select annually, historically, most geniuses chosen were not as excellent as you,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan with increasing favor. ¡°Among the young generation in Xia Country today, you are the best, it is only fitting we chose you.¡±


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    Fitting? Xia Country has a population of over two billion, with countless martial arts prodigies under 30 years old.


    It was only an existence like Star Lord Bai Shan who could regard this selection as trivial.


    ¡°Li Yuan, killing the Flying Heaven assassin infiltrator from the Tianliang Clan, you¡¯ve indeed earned great merit,¡± Principal Fang Hai continued. ¡°Additionally, in the Blue Star Grand Competition virtual battle, your Spear Technique advanced to the intermediate rank of Fifth Stage, truly exceptional.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, Dean Bai Shan¡¯s visit today is not only to verify the identity of that infiltrator but primarily was to meet you,¡± Principal Fang Hai said.


    ¡°To meet me specially?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    He suddenly recalled what Dean Hai had said before, that the higher-ups in Xia Country placed great importance on him.


    Now, it seemed, this so-called higher-up¡­


    Was likely referring to Principal Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan.


    ¡°Every year, I meet with the top geniuses that have emerged in our Xia Country,¡± Dean Bai Shan said cheerfully and kindly. ¡°Don¡¯t be too constrained; Yu Jinghe was much more relaxed when he came to see me last year.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Relaxed?


    Yes! In theory, his potential talent might be higher than Yu Jinghe¡¯s, but that was all theoretical.


    Yu Jinghe, he was someone whose combat power was on par with the Flying Heaven Level, with strength at hand, naturally he had more confidence.


    ¡°Your core practice is the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ and the ¡®Meaning of the Stellar,¡¯ right?¡± Star Lord Bai Shan continued.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded. This was no secret.


    ¡°Dean Bai Shan is the founder of the ¡®Meaning of the Stellar,''¡± Principal Fang Hai said. ¡°Many of the third-rank secret manuals openly available for free study in the alliance today were created by Dean Bai Shan.¡±


    ¡°Created by Dean Bai Shan?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    Long ago, he had wondered who could have created those third-rank secret manuals used for the mass study of Prime Warriors¡­ Second-rank secret manuals were not difficult to create, even Li Yuan, if he spent the time, could hope to create one now, since they were just summations of methods in the use of Vigor.


    At most, they weren¡¯t as refined as those thoroughly honed secret manuals.


    But third-rank secret manuals?


    This represented an artistic conception, one must achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, sensing nature itself¡­ Like Li Yuan, currently, he could only cultivate on his own.


    As for summarizing a secret manual? Passing it on to successors? Li Yuan wasn¡¯t capable of that.


    It was indescribable, indefinable.


    Just like how Li Yang and Dean Xu had taught Li Yuan before, they did so through repeated real combat¡­ Letting Li Yuan himself experience the moves of Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Even the powerful virtual network could perfectly imitate techniques below the Fourth Level.


    But Fifth Stage Skills? It could only imitate up to 50%.


    ¡°Haha, no need to be amazed, it¡¯s just a manual that guides towards the true intent of heaven and earth,¡± Dean Bai Shan said with a laugh. ¡°When you reach the realms of your principal and me in the future, you¡¯ll likely be able to create many similar manuals, guiding the younger generations.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled.


    If only it were really that easy.


    By the looks of it, the whole of Xia Country might not even have a handful of people who reached the level of Principal Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan.


    ¡°The Martial God Inheritance is the highest level of cultivation prepared for geniuses by the entire civilization; my Xia Country cannot provide that,¡± Dean Bai Shan said with a smile. ¡°But given your excellent performance, as your senior, I naturally should express some acknowledgement.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart caught in his throat; he knew the crucial moment had arrived.


    The two Star Masters coming to see me definitely wouldn¡¯t just exchange pleasantries.


    Just like when elders meet juniors for the first time, they usually prepare a gift.


    ¡°The two hardest paths in your upcoming cultivation, the first is Law Creation, which is essentially awakening Star Veins, and this point, you should be clear about,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan.


    Li Yuan nodded, ¡°The junior understands, having perused many texts within the Martial Hall.¡±


    Dean Fang Hai stood silently to the side, quite indifferently.


    ¡°You have strong spiritual power and a high level of skill¡­ And with many methods to guide you, awakening three Star Veins will not be difficult,¡± stated Star Lord Bai Shan. ¡°But I believe, Xiao Hai¡­ that is, Dean Hai has probably told you that your body likely contains a higher Spiritual Nature.¡±


    ¡°He has mentioned it,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Your physical quality is improving very quickly, which is probably related to this,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan. ¡°So, my advice is that in the Prime Warrior stage, you don¡¯t need to rush into the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t need to rush?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°So-called physical talent is actually Star Vein talent.¡±


    ¡°Star Veins are the foundation of Origin Power, the basis of life,¡± Dean Fang Hai suddenly said. ¡°Your real ¡®Star Vein talent¡¯ is extremely high, so try to awaken as many Star Veins as possible during the Prime Warrior stage¡­ the more, the better, ideally four, five, or even six!!¡±


    ¡°The more Star Veins you awaken, and the stronger each Star Vein is, the stronger your foundation will be, and the stronger you¡¯ll become as a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± said Fang Hai.


    Li Yuan listened carefully.


    These were things he did not know before.


    ¡°Star Vein talent involves, firstly, the number of Star Veins and, secondly, the number of Life Stars,¡± stated Star Lord Bai Shan. ¡°To become a Third Rank Flying Heaven Warrior, you must at least awaken three Star Veins. Otherwise, no matter how adept your skills are, it will be hard to break through¡­ Becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior requires at least a 29.9 level physical quality, Fifth Stage Perfect Skill, 29 levels of spiritual power, and the awakening of three Star Veins.¡±


    Li Yuan was all ears.


    These four requirements form the foundation of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°That¡¯s just for achieving Flying Heaven. If you want to surpass Flying Heaven in the future, you must awaken even more Star Veins,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said earnestly. ¡°Similarly, after advancing to the Flying Heaven Level, the more powerful your Star Veins are, the more you will continue to break through your limits and even have the chance to rival Demigods in terms of physical Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°Demigods?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°To surpass Flying Heaven is to achieve the Fourth Rank of Demigod,¡± stated Dean Fang Hai blandly.


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    It turns out that transcending the Flying Heaven Level is to reach the Semi Divine Realm, which is also known as a Fourth Rank existence.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level can rival a Demigod at the basic level?¡± Li Yuan listened breathlessly.


    This was undoubtedly a great secret of the Martial Arts Cultivation path.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what do you think is the level of physical Origin Power of a peak Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± Star Lord Bai Shan suddenly asked with a smile.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Peak? Level 39, I guess,¡± said Li Yuan as a matter of course.


    Star Lord Bai Shan and Dean Fang Hai exchanged a look and both smiled.


    ¡°Wrong.¡±


    ¡°What we commonly refer to as peak Flying Heaven Warriors are at level 35,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan. ¡°Whereas, Demigod Warriors are at least at level 40.¡±


    Level 35?


    Demigods at level 40?


    ¡°What about levels 36 to 39 then?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, surely they couldn¡¯t be vacant.


    ¡°When Origin Power cultivation reaches level 35, that is the Flying Heaven Peak, and if the Skill Realm is sufficient, one can step into the Semi Divine Realm, which takes them directly to level 40,¡± Dean Fang Hai explained. ¡°However, to cultivate to level 36, one must awaken six Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°To cultivate to level 37 in the Flying Heaven Realm, you must awaken seven Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°And so on¡­ In theory, if one could awaken ten Star Veins, they could cultivate to level 40 within the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Six Star Pulse, already signifies a dazzling genius.¡±


    ¡°Being able to cultivate to level 37 with Seven Star Veins is an inconceivable achievement, and it¡¯s nearly legendary in the many Foreign Civilizations known to our human civilization, worthy of being called invincible in the same realm,¡± said Fang Hai impassively. ¡°As for more than eight Star Veins, it exists only in theory.¡±


    Six Star Pulse?


    Seven Star Veins?


    Li Yuan listened, breath taken away with awe, as Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan seemed to be opening a great door for him!


    A door he had never known existed before.


    It turns out that the peak of a Flying Heaven Warrior is only level 35, not the 39 that he had imagined.


    It turns out that the more Star Veins one awakens, the more one can continuously break through the limits of life.


    ¡°Likewise, the more Star Veins you awaken, and the stronger they are, the more fearsome the Star Techniques you¡¯ll be able to cultivate will be.¡±


    ¡°The usual peak Flying Heaven Warriors are only at level 35, and they have no ability to withstand Demigods who are over level 40,¡± said Fang Hai calmly. ¡°But if one has a Six Star Pulse or Seven Star Veins, cultivating to the upper limits of level 36 or 37 within the Flying Heaven Realm, the fundamental gap with Demigods will greatly narrow¡­ Coupled with the multiple Star Techniques cultivated from many Star Veins, it may be possible to parallel Demigods.¡±


    ¡°If the Skill Realm is even more sophisticated.¡±


    ¡°For instance ¡ª stepping into the threshold of Laws.¡±


    ¡°One may be able to truly rival Demigods with the body of Flying Heaven,¡± Fang Hai spoke slowly, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes: ¡°Or even, slay a Demigod!¡±


    ¡°To slay a Demigod with the body of Flying Heaven?¡± Li Yuan was shaken to the core, filled with longing.


    He was well aware that the further one progressed in cultivation, the harder it was to fight across ranks.


    It¡¯s not uncommon in human civilization for a First Rank Martial Artist to fight a Prime Warrior.


    But for a Prime Warrior to battle against one in the Flying Heaven Realm? That¡¯s very rare, and each one is a top-tier genius.


    After all, which young Flying Heaven Warrior was not a genius of the Martial Path?


    Not to mention overcoming a Demigod?


    ¡°In our Seven Stars human civilization, has anyone achieved this?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Fang Hai fell silent for a moment, then said slowly, ¡°Not yet!¡±

    Chapter 290: Chapter 222: Nine Layers Star Vein! Star Master¡¯s Teaching! (Requesting monthly votes)


    ¡°`


    ¡°No?¡± Li Yuan was surprised in his heart, he had thought Fang Hai could do it.


    After all, considering Fang Hai had killed the Flying Heaven level infiltrator ¡®Shadow¡¯ before.


    Fang Hai¡¯s strength must have reached a terrifying extent.


    ¡°Li Yuan, even a 37th-level Flying Heaven is only approaching the foundation of a level 40 demigod,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan seemed to perceive Li Yuan¡¯s confusion and smiled, ¡°But to truly compare to a demigod is extremely difficult.¡± Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Moreover, having strength comparable to a demigod and being able to kill a demigod are two different concepts.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Our Seven Star human civilization has encountered many foreign civilizations, and for a Flying Heaven level to kill a demigod¡­ the difficulty is frighteningly high.¡±


    ¡°Not only must the foundation have Six Star Pulse or Seven Star Veins, but also several of these veins must achieve an extremely high rank, even Perfect Star Veins,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan, ¡°Only then can one cultivate some extremely powerful Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Perfect Star Veins? Dean, Predecessor Bai Shan, what is a Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    The Perfect Star Veins were described in the Starfire databank, such as in the summary left by Predecessor Dongfang Ji.


    But Star Techniques?


    It was only now, from Dean Hai¡¯s words, that Li Yuan first learned of them.


    ¡°The human body is like the universe, with the Life Star being its essence and treasure, and the Star Veins its core,¡± said Fang Hai indifferently, ¡°Origin Warriors absorb Origin Power, but only a small amount remains in the Star Veins, and they mainly fight using their physical strength.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    Indeed, even a top-grade Origin Warrior mainly relies on physical combat.


    The power of the body is limited, whereas the power of heaven and earth is boundless.


    ¡°Once one steps into the Flying Heaven Realm¡­ Origin Power becomes robust, circulating within the body¡¯s Zhou Tian, as if everything has a source, and the Life Star also transforms to an astonishing level and the Star Veins become capable of special deductions like the true universe, unleashing real might¡­ This is what Star Techniques are,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Because each person is different, with different comprehensions and Laws, the Star Techniques they can cultivate naturally vary.¡±


    ¡°For example, ¡®Shadow¡¯ cultivated ¡®Clone¡¯ and ¡®Stealth¡¯ Star Techniques, making him an extremely fearsome assassin,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan had an epiphany, gradually forming a vague concept of his future.


    It seems.


    Star Techniques can only be cultivated by Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Star Techniques are cultivated based on the Star Veins and the practice is extremely stringent,¡± the Star Lord Bai Shan at the side said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re at level 19; you understand the difference in Law Creation. Can a Star Vein awakening 12,960 Life Stars be the same as one awakening 129,600 Life Stars?¡±


    ¡°Not the same,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°The stronger the Star Veins, the more terrifying the power they can unleash,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan gravely, ¡°We usually call the just-awakened Star Veins as First Layer Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°Each Star Vein, with every additional 12,960 Life Stars awakened, undergoes a fundamental transformation, gradually advancing to Second Layer Star Veins, Third Layer Star Veins¡­ until the legendary Perfect Star Veins, also known as Tenth Layer Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°Some terrifying Star Techniques, like the ¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body¡¯ cultivated by Dongfang Ji from our Seven Star human civilization, requires a Seven Layer Star Vein as the core and is famed throughout,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan with emotion, ¡°Not many among the demigods can achieve it.¡±


    ¡°Legendarily.¡±


    ¡°There are some Supreme Star Techniques that can only be cultivated with a Nine Layers Star Vein,¡± sighed Star Lord Bai Shan, ¡°Our civilization has obtained several incomplete ones¡­ but no one has been able to cultivate them.¡±


    ¡°In our Seven Star human civilization, over the centuries, some demigods and a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors have been born¡­ among them were peerless geniuses with awakened Six Star Pulses.¡±


    ¡°But to deduce a Star Vein to Nine Layers? It hasn¡¯t happened yet,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan shaking his head, ¡°Seven Star Veins are legendary.¡±


    ¡°Similarly, awakening a Star Vein to the Nine Layers level is legendary.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan appeared ¡®astonished,¡¯ as if he was full of yearning.


    Yet, his heart was thumping wildly.


    Li Yuan really wanted to say, no one in human civilization can cultivate, but I can!!


    Nine Layer Star Vein? That¡¯s nothing, I¡¯ve awakened a Perfect Star Vein!!


    Unfortunately.


    Limited to his level 19, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t speak up¡­ Moreover, with the information revealed by Star Lord Bai Shan and Dean Fang Hai, Li Yuan could infer how miraculous the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was.


    A single Spiritual Guidance could let me awaken a Perfect Star Vein?


    Although the vast unawakened Life Stars were my own innate potential, without the help of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡¯s guidance¡­ Relying solely on myself, who knows when I could fully awaken them.


    Potential is potential.


    Turning potential into actual strength is what truly matters.


    The more he thought about it, the more Li Yuan felt that not exposing the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was a good thing.


    Of course, Li Yuan was not in a hurry about the few incomplete Supreme Star Techniques that the high echelons of civilization possessed.


    He was only at level 19.


    It wouldn¡¯t be too late to find a way to get them once he became a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Senior, can I understand it as, to raise the limit of the Origin Power in the body, one must awaken more Star Meridians?¡± Li Yuan summarized,¡±But to cultivate powerful Star Techniques, one must make a certain Star Meridian extremely strong.¡±


    ¡°Correct,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile,¡±The quantity and quality of Star Meridians are both very important.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The number of Star Meridians is to increase the lower limit of strength, like cultivating to level 36, level 37, even without cultivating powerful Star Techniques, one can still easily defeat a level 35 Flying Heaven Peak warrior with a strong foundation.


    The quality of Star Meridians, on the other hand, is to raise the upper limit of strength.


    Only with a strong foundation, combined with terrifying Star Techniques, can one hope to fight beyond one¡¯s level and battle with Demigods.


    ¡°The quantity of Star Meridians and Life Stars complement each other,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile. ¡°Generally speaking, a Six Star Pulse talent can hope to awaken one or even two main Star Meridians to the Seventh Layer or above.¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Veins?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself,¡±Are they strong?¡±


    But he agreed with Star Lord Bai Shan¡¯s theory, only with a sufficient number of awakened Life Stars can one awaken more Star Meridians¡­ Like himself, many of the Life Stars he had awakened were isolated.


    But in the future.


    As he awakens more Star Meridians, many of the currently inactive Life Stars may belong to a new Life Star Vein, making the awakening of a new Star Meridian easier in the future.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had many discussions with Star Lord Bai Shan and Dean Fang Hai.


    He gained a profound understanding of Star Techniques, Star Meridians, and more.


    He finally understood the most important thing at the Origin Martial Artist stage¡ªawaken more Life Stars! The more, the better.


    ¡°The earlier you awaken Star Meridians, the better,¡± Dean Hai said indifferently.¡±The Origin Martial Artist stage is the fastest for awakening¡­ Even after becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, one can continue to awaken Star Meridians, but the difficulty will skyrocket¡­ Once one becomes a Demigod, the foundation is set, and it¡¯s almost impossible to make any changes.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized, so that¡¯s how it is.


    ¡°`


    No wonder Star Lord Bai Shan said there was no need for me to rush into becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°It¡¯s not too difficult to gradually advance the Star Meridian from the first layer to the second, to the third layer; this can wait until you¡¯ve stepped into the Flying Heaven Realm to continue,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said, ¡°But the number of Star Meridians will essentially be fixed by the time one reaches the Flying Heaven Warrior stage¡­ This is a matter concerning a lifetime of cultivation and must be taken seriously.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded emphatically.


    One sentence.


    At the Prime Warrior stage, the quality of the Star Meridians can be overlooked, but the quantity cannot.


    ¡°Our goal for you is to at least awaken five Star Meridians before stepping into the Flying Heaven Level,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said seriously, ¡°You should have that potential.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan committed it to memory and contemplated in silence.


    To awaken five Star Meridians? I¡¯ve already awakened two Star Meridians now.


    It shouldn¡¯t be too difficult, should it?


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan seemed to think of something and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Is Senior Yu Jinghe trying to awaken more Star Meridians?¡±


    As far as I know.


    Yu Jinghe seems to be at the Sixth Stage of skill, yet he has never made a breakthrough; there must be a reason.


    Both Star Lords smiled.


    ¡°You¡¯re quite astute,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan smiled, ¡°Indeed, Yu Jinghe is continuously trying to awaken more Star Meridians; he now has five Star Meridians and is hopeful for the sixth.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized; so that¡¯s how it is.


    ¡°Your starting point is lower than his because he was naturally compatible with high-rank cultivation methods, and as soon as he became a Prime Warrior, he quickly awakened three Star Meridians,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said, ¡°But this is only temporary.¡±


    ¡°In the future, you will definitely need to spend more time, but don¡¯t be impatient, don¡¯t be swayed by the noise of the outside world,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan looked at Li Yuan, ¡°You need to be able to endure the loneliness.¡±


    What they were most worried about.


    Was that Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t be able to endure this loneliness and would desire to step into the Flying Heaven Level sooner.


    ¡­


    ¡°Ordinary Origin Warriors, struggling to reach Fifth Stage Perfection in their arts, already find it challenging.¡±


    ¡°They become Flying Heaven Warriors sooner, venturing into the Star Realm in search of opportunities, possibly with a better chance to reach Demigod, so the alliance¡¯s higher-ups won¡¯t force them to stay at the Prime Warrior level,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said, ¡°But for someone like you, like Yu Jinghe, including your Dean when he was younger¡­ You are all rare outstanding geniuses, and our expectations for you are extremely high.¡±


    ¡°Because you have high comprehension, profound skills, and the ability to maximize your potential.¡±


    Li Yuan was listening intently.


    He had already sensed this point earlier.


    ¡°The stronger the skill, the more it will nurture your soul to become stronger, making your perception of the Life Star more acute¡­ In short, the more profound your skills, the more you can maximize your potential of the Star Meridian,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said earnestly, ¡°As for awakening Star Meridians, we can¡¯t help you, even though there are many experiences with cultivation techniques to learn from; in the end, it¡¯s all up to you.¡±


    ¡°However, we can help you improve the level of your skills,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    Help? How?


    Logically, understanding the mystery of the heavens and earth should also be a very personal matter.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh! Star Lord Bai Shan gently raised his hand, his fingertip touching Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    Too fast, Li Yuan had no time to react.


    In an instant!


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s whole mind went blank, and even his Flying Heaven Level soul couldn¡¯t help but shake.


    Hum~ Streams of information flowed directly into Li Yuan¡¯s mind and, incredibly, imprinted themselves in his memory.


    It was magical.


    As if ¡®knowledge¡¯ was being poured into his brain.


    Brain nourished.


    But before Li Yuan could think further, he was completely immersed in this wondrous change, absorbing the flood of information that came pouring in.


    This was a cultivation technique.


    To be precise, it was a Star Technique.


    Named ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± according to the description in the information, it was incredibly magical¡­ If one could cultivate it to the pinnacle of perfection, theoretically, it could greatly increase one¡¯s compatibility with the Law of Earth, and drastically increase the chances of stepping into the threshold of the Law of Earth.


    But cultivating it was extremely difficult, with many challenges; not only did it require certain talents in the Star Meridian, but also numerous precious materials to assist in cultivation¡­ very difficult.


    After a while.


    Li Yuan finally came back to his senses.


    He had noticed that the Star Technique he received wasn¡¯t complete¡­ It was just a small part, seemingly the introductory chapter.


    But it was already astounding.


    ¡°How do you find this method?¡± Star Lord Bai Shan asked with a smile from the side.


    ¡°It¡¯s a miraculous technique,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but marvel, ¡°Theoretically, it enhances a person¡¯s talent from the foundation up.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the cultivation is extremely difficult; even just starting out requires an Earth Origin Crystal, which I can¡¯t afford to cultivate.¡±


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh!


    Star Lord Bai Shan flipped his hand, revealing a yellowish-brown crystal in his palm, emitting a hazy glow.


    The brilliance circulated, and the surface of the crystal seemed to stream with a divine aura, instinctively drawing one¡¯s desire.


    ¡°This is?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°What kind of person is Star Lord Bai Shan? Having taught you the introductory chapter of ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡¯ he naturally has prepared everything for you,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile from the side, ¡°This is a fourth-rank treasure, the ¡®Earth Origin Crystal,¡¯ essential for cultivating this Star Technique and also a reward for you.¡±


    ¡°Take it.¡±


    ¡°With it, once you become an Origin Warrior, if you can resonate with the technique, you should be able to successfully start within a year.¡±

 Chapter 291 - 223: Introduction to Star Technique (Extra 21)

    Chapter 291: Chapter 223: Introduction to Star Technique (Extra 21)


    ¡°Within a year?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    That quickly?


    ¡°Within a year, given your cultivation speed and skill level, you will certainly become a Prime Warrior, and there¡¯s a high probability you¡¯ll successfully awaken one or two Star Meridians,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile, ¡°By then, with the assistance of the Earth Origin Crystal, you¡¯d be able to attempt cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯. Just mastering the introductory part isn¡¯t difficult.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior can cultivate Star Techniques?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    According to what was said before, Star Techniques should only be cultivated by a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    The two Star Lords exchanged smiles.


    ...


    ¡°Star Techniques are divided into many categories, such as clone, stealth, protective, scouting, escaping technique, attack, and cultivation assistance¡­¡± Fang Hai said in a calm manner.


    ¡°The more combat-oriented and powerful Star Techniques require the full burst of Star Meridian Origin Power¡­ Their might is too strong for Prime Warriors to withstand, so it¡¯s not recommended for them to cultivate these techniques.¡±


    ¡°However, Prime Warriors can still choose one or two supportive techniques to cultivate. ¡®The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ is one such supportive type of technique for enlightenment¡­ Prime Warriors can start to cultivate it at their stage,¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°Such methods, if there¡¯s a chance, even Flying Heaven Warriors would choose to cultivate one.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    Star Techniques like ¡®The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ seem not to directly enhance combat strength¡­ but they can accelerate the comprehension of skills.


    Skills and Star Meridians are the foundation of cultivation.


    Only when these two aspects are strong can one continuously break through limits and strive for even higher realms in the future.


    What about combat-oriented Star Techniques?


    In a sense, they are not as important.


    ¡°The ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ is indeed a rather magical Star Technique,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan said with a smile, ¡°I also chanced upon the introductory part¡­ With the Earth Origin Crystal, as long as you have a certain level of resonance with the Law of Earth, and with some time, cultivating it successfully isn¡¯t difficult.¡±


    ¡°But if the level of resonance isn¡¯t high, then it becomes very difficult to refine successfully,¡± said Star Lord Bai Shan.


    ¡°How can you determine the level of resonance?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    About Laws.


    Li Yuan had only read about vague concepts in some documents when browsing through the archives at the Starfire Martial Hall.


    They were too far-fetched.


    It was about the most fundamental mysteries of heaven and earth.


    ¡°There¡¯s no way to directly test it.¡±


    ¡°Heaven and earth nurture countless spirits, and each being is a completely independent individual, but there¡¯s a general similarity in the bigger picture,¡± Fang Hai at the side said, ¡°Your previous cultivation of the ¡®Solid Rock Cultivation Technique¡¯ indicates you resonate with the invisible Earth Source Power.¡±


    ¡°Your cultivation of ¡®Meaning of the Stellar¡¯ is incredibly smooth, showing you have the potential to comprehend the Stellar True Intent.¡±


    ¡°Stellar True Intent is just a very small part of the Law of Earth¡­ from your previous signs, your resonance with the Earth Vein is very high.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized. So that¡¯s how it is.


    Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan, their strength far exceeded his own, and they had much higher perspectives. They could infer many things from his past experiences.


    ¡°Dean, I know the Sixth Stage skills are the ¡®True Intent of Heaven and Earth¡¯, but at which skill level are the Laws?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    He was indeed curious.


    ¡°Fourth Stage skills are about achieving extreme control over one¡¯s body,¡± Fang Hai patiently explained, ¡°Fifth Stage skills gradually reach Unity of Heaven and Man, and upon reaching Fifth Stage Perfection, one¡¯s movements become unified with the heavens and earth, each action drawing upon the power of nature.¡±


    ¡°Sixth Stage, the True Intent of Heaven and Earth, is truly comprehending the profound mysteries of nature to an extremely deep level¡­ having grasped a hint of the true essence of the operation of heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Above True Intent is the Law.¡±


    ¡°Crossing into the threshold of the Law represents Seventh Stage skills.¡±


    ¡°The Law is the ultimate mystery of the operation of all things in heaven and earth, representing the essence,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said softly, ¡°Star Lord Bai Shan teaching you ¡®The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ and giving you the Earth Origin Crystal also signifies his hope that someday you will cross that threshold of the Law.¡±


    ¡°You must understand that a single piece of Earth Origin Crystal is enough to make many Flying Heaven Warriors pursue it,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly.


    ¡°I will certainly not forget the kindness of Star Lord Bai Shan and will do my utmost,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly.


    The Fourth Rank treasure ¡®Earth Origin Crystal¡¯¡­ To a Flying Heaven Warrior, it is an absolute treasure.


    To give it to a youngster like him.


    It¡¯s very rare.


    ¡°Haha, your Dean is making it sound too serious,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t bear too much pressure. You come from Xia Country, and I should certainly cultivate you with all my strength¡­ ¡®The True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ is not as magical as you imagine.¡±


    ¡°Its effectiveness depends greatly on the strength of the Star Meridian,¡± Star Lord Bai Shan continued with a smile, ¡°The stronger the Star Meridian you base your cultivation on, the better the results.¡±


    ¡°So, when you first start, the effect will definitely be mediocre, just a slight improvement, but the effects will get better and better as you progress.¡±


    ¡°The junior understands,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully, yet a thought couldn¡¯t help but stir within him.


    The stronger the Star Meridian, the better the cultivation effect.


    What if one were to cultivate with a Perfect Star Vein?


    ¡°Mm, whether Star Techniques or spiritual power, they are merely aids, just ¡®amplifiers¡¯ for your comprehension,¡± Fang Hai spoke slowly: ¡°Understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth, what¡¯s important is your inner self.¡±


    ¡°These things can be relied upon, but not depended on.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    Soon after.


    Dean Fang Hai sent Li Yuan back to the school, then quickly returned.


    ¡°Not going to admonish him a few more words?¡± Star Lord Bai Shan joked.


    ¡°Admonish what?¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°We¡¯ve given him the best resources for cultivation, and in five months, he¡¯ll head to Feixing where the Martial Hall¡¯s ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ is one of the top resources of the alliance¡­ The rest of the journey is his to walk.¡±


    ¡°How far he can go also depends on his own efforts and fortune.¡±


    ¡°Interfering too much might not be a good thing,¡± Fang Hai said lightly, ¡°No matter how much we help, we can only assist him in becoming a Flying Heaven level at most, can we really help him become a Demigod?¡±


    ¡°Even I am not a Demigod,¡± Fang Hai shook his head.


    ¡°Haha, you really share the same temperament as your master.¡± Star Lord Bai Shan laughed, ¡°All right, since you¡¯re the Dean, what you say goes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be taking my leave, call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Fang Hai watched as Star Lord Bai Shan departed, then looked down thoughtfully at the continuous stretch of villas below.


    He pondered for a moment.


    ¡°Seven Star Meridians? Law?¡± Fang Hai murmured to himself, and then the hatch of the flying saucer beneath his feet opened.


    Fang Hai walked straight in.


    ¡­


    Back inside his own villa.


    Dean Hai, Li Yang, and the white-clad woman had already received orders to leave.


    At this moment, the sun had just risen outside.


    But inside, Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with excitement.


    The events of today had surpassed Li Yuan¡¯s imagination.


    Before getting breakfast, what Li Yuan had in mind was how to work hard to win the championship of the Blue Star virtual combat competition.


    But this morning, he first encountered an assassination attempt by a stealthy Flying Heaven Warrior from an Alien Race.


    Then, two more Star Masters made their appearance in succession, that snap of a finger slicing through the heavens with a drop of rain¡­ In the end, the tales of the Ten-Star Meridian and the Nine Layers Star Vein further opened the door for Li Yuan to gaze upon a new world.


    One could say,


    the pointers from Fang Hai and Bai Shan reshaped Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of the ¡®Transcendent Martial Way¡¯.


    Perhaps, Li Yuan was still outside the door,


    but he could already see the world within.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly came to a realization, ¡°Not good, I haven¡¯t eaten breakfast yet, don¡¯t let it get cold.¡±


    ¡­


    After eating the still-warm breakfast, Li Yuan went back to the underground Martial Arts Room.


    The lights turned on, as if it were daylight.


    Li Yuan activated all the protections in the Martial Arts Room, took out a cushion, and then sat cross-legged on it.


    ¡°Whew!¡±


    Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a clay-yellow crystal appeared in the center, radiating a hazy glow.


    It was the Earth Origin Crystal that Bai Shan had just gifted him.


    ¡°A fourth-rank treasure, huh.¡±


    ¡°According to the data archives, treasures of this level simply cannot be valued with Blue Star Coins,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself.


    This was quite normal.


    Currency, by nature, was issued by the human alliance, backed by the formidable martial force of Star Masters and Demigods, thus gaining recognition from Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors, and ordinary people alike.


    Therefore, for Star Masters, currency carried little significance.


    The treasures that could capture their attention certainly weren¡¯t something Blue Star Coins could measure in value¡­ No amount of money could buy them.


    Li Yuan gazed at the Earth Origin Crystal, understanding its worth by the mere fact that it was called a divine crystal.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t shown talent, I probably wouldn¡¯t have been qualified to receive such a treasure,¡± Li Yuan thought privately. ¡°But should I use the Perfect Star Vein to cultivate it?¡±


    Whether it was Fang Hai or Bai Shan,


    they both believed that Li Yuan would need at least several months before he could start cultivating ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯.


    However, Li Yuan himself knew that he could start at any time.


    To cultivate ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ required three major conditions: first, a certain compatibility with the Earth Vein.


    Second, the awakening of a star meridian.


    Third, skills must reach the Unity of Heaven and Man level, or spiritual power must be above level 29.


    Li Yuan met all the criteria perfectly.


    The only thing that made Li Yuan hesitant was which star meridian to use for the cultivation.


    ¡°Using the Perfect Star Vein to cultivate would naturally yield the best results,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°But as the Dean just mentioned,¡±


    ¡°Once a star technique reaches a certain level of proficiency, it leaves a deep imprint on the star meridian, making it very troublesome to reconstruct later on¡­ Is it appropriate to reserve a Perfect Star Vein for merely an auxiliary star technique?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat hesitant.


    Star meridians are like a plot of land, and star techniques are like constructing on that plot.


    If the land is empty, anything can be done quite conveniently.


    But if a residential building has already been constructed, trying to change it into a pig farm? Naturally, that would be extremely troublesome.


    After much thought.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this!¡±


    Li Yuan made up his mind: ¡°Based on past experience, once my Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 50%, I should get another chance for Spiritual Guidance¡­ And I will also keep awakening star meridians on my own.¡±


    ¡°Martial techniques just make me stronger during certain stages.¡±


    ¡°By cultivating ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ with the Perfect Star Vein, I can maximize the potential of this star technique,¡± Li Yuan contemplated. ¡°It will also allow my skills to progress faster.¡±


    It was like the soul undergoing a transformation to reach the Flying Heaven level.


    Before and after the transformation, the efficiency with which Li Yuan practiced his Spear Technique and movement technique was completely different.


    ¡°With sufficient mastery over the skill, I could hope to tap into the potential of my star meridians as much as possible during the Prime Warrior stage,¡± Li Yuan was filled with anticipation.


    A Five-Star Meridian?


    No!


    Li Yuan¡¯s goal was the Seven-Star Meridian! And even the Eight-Star Vein, which was already legendary among many Alien Races.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace gave Li Yuan enough confidence.


    ¡­


    Having thought everything through, Li Yuan no longer hesitated, calmed his heart, and with a thought,


    Sss~


    The Origin Power Battle Suit surged, completely placing the palm-sized Earth Origin Crystal on his abdomen.


    And it was completely wrapped by the battle suit, invisible from the outside.


    ¡°Absorb,¡± with a thought from Li Yuan, he immediately began to follow the cultivation directions of ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯.


    The Flying Heaven level soul activated, sensing the Earth Origin Crystal.


    Star Meridian activate!


    Gradually, Li Yuan faintly felt the fiery-hot cluster within his waist and abdomen, as if it contained an unfathomable essence¡­ beyond imagination.


    ¡°Sss~¡± ¡°Sss~¡±


    Following the star technique¡¯s guidance, that one Perfect Star Meridian within Li Yuan¡¯s body moved, and countless light dots flickered on his body¡¯s surface, beginning to absorb the essence from within the Earth Origin Crystal.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A strand after strand of peculiar power penetrated through his skin, quickly spreading into Li Yuan¡¯s body, and was swiftly absorbed by the only Perfect Star Meridian¡­ This power was much purer than Origin Power.


    The most important aspect was that it seemed to contain a mysterious substance that quickly integrated into Li Yuan¡¯s Perfect Star Meridian.


    In an instant!


    ¡°The sensation, so vivid,¡± Li Yuan was astonished within his heart, the strange power bestowed upon him made the feeling of countless light spots on that perfect star meridian exceptionally clear.


    129,600 Life Stars, all sensationally vivid.


    Far surpassing what he had ever experienced before.


    Moreover, every Life Star¡¯s aura became immensely powerful¡­ as if they truly came to life.


    ¡°Begin the attempt,¡± thought Li Yuan.


    With a strong spiritual power enveloping each Life Star, he tried to mobilize the Origin Power within them.


    Attempting to form mysterious and profound Star Marks¡­ incredibly easily.


    Success!


    ¡°Just like that, I¡¯ve succeeded with one?¡± Li Yuan was stunned. ¡°Didn¡¯t Elder Bai Shan say that I should expect to fail hundreds of times at first?¡±

 Chapter 296 - 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)

    Chapter 296: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)


    After a melee and eight rounds of knockout, one martial path genius after another emerged.


    In addition, the promotional videos of Li Yuan and Dantai Feng spread during the journey.


    It can be said that the fervor for the virtual battles of this Global Martial Arts Tournament for colleges had reached an apex.


    Whew!


    When Li Yuan leisurely practiced his Spear Technique, adjusted his mindset, and logged on punctually at 7:40 PM.


    As soon as he entered the competition space, he appeared in the Spectator Platform area belonging to ¡®Kunlun Martial University students.¡¯ Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Immediately.


    Whoosh! The ¡®broadcast screen¡¯ high up in the battle space instantly focused on him, and Li Yuan¡¯s face appeared on the big screen.


    Boom!


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan!!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡± The competition space, with over six million spectators, erupted with a sound like a mountain roar and a tidal wave.


    Not just spectators from Xia Country, but those from most other countries were shouting his name as well.


    The cheers from millions of people all at once ¨C what kind of concept was that?


    With a thunderous momentum that reverberated throughout the vast competition space, even Li Yuan, who had just come online, was given quite a shock.


    ¡°This many people?¡± Li Yuan, hearing the earth-shaking cheers, was somewhat stunned.


    Spectators from Xia Country were understandable, but why were spectators from other countries so excited?


    ¡°Haha, Brother Yuan didn¡¯t expect it, did you? Your popularity is frightfully high,¡± Gu Qianghan excitedly laughed, ¡°You are practically famous around the world.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°Senior Brother, you and Dantai Feng are now worldwide sensations. Haven¡¯t you seen your V-blog followers? It¡¯s already over 40 million, that¡¯s a global following,¡± An Nong said excitedly.


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    Forty million followers? Was that an exaggeration?


    Li Yuan had been focused on training these past two days, not logging onto the virtual network, so he really wasn¡¯t aware of these things.


    You should know that the virtual network operates a strict real-name system; under full network monitoring, ¡®zombie fans¡¯ basically don¡¯t exist ¨C this is genuine popularity¡­ He could be compared to top-tier global celebrities.


    ¡°Can¡¯t be helped,¡±


    ¡°Previous short videos were certified by Starfire Martial Hall, and the praises were boundless,¡± An Nong said with a sigh of admiration, ¡°Blue Star¡¯s number one talent of the contemporary era! The pillar of human civilization who may surpass the Flying Heaven Level in the future!¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help shaking his head.


    The principal and Star Lord Bai Shan overexaggerated to attract the hidden Flying Heaven Level members of the Alien Race.


    But the result was good.


    More than ten seconds later, the broadcast video switched to other finalists, and the shouts about Li Yuan subsided quite a bit.


    Only in the Kunlun Martial University area, a large number of spectators were still excitedly waving their hands towards where Li Yuan was.


    ¡°It¡¯s a bit too crazy.¡±


    Li Yuan sat down and shook his head, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t everyone cheer for Senior Brother Jin? Senior Brother Jin also made it to the top twenty in the finals.¡±


    ¡°How can that be the same?¡± A magnetic and robust voice came from behind Li Yuan, ¡°You are absolutely dominant, defeating Hoffman and directly entering the finals, while I barely made it into the top twenty. How could it be the same?¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up as he turned to look.


    When he was unaware,


    Jin Huguo had already taken a seat behind him. He had a square face, not particularly handsome but with a rugged hard man¡¯s presence.


    With their exchange, Gu Qianghan and An Nong beside him dared not to speak.


    Among the nearly ten thousand students at Kunlun Martial University, the status of Li Yuan and Jin Huguo was transcendent.


    After all, even ordinary teachers were not as skilled as they were.


    ¡°Senior Brother jests,¡± Li Yuan laughed, ¡°With your strength, you might even make it into the top three.¡±


    Li Yuan had researched his main competitors.


    For example, he had watched Harmon¡¯s real fight, which was the battle against Jin Huguo, several times.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s view, Jin Huguo¡¯s skill level was not far off Hoffman¡¯s, and if he was weaker, it was by not much.


    ¡°Don¡¯t flatter me,¡± Jin Huguo chuckled and shook his head, ¡°Whether I can get into the top ten is a matter of luck¡­ As for the top three, there¡¯s not a sliver of hope.¡±


    ¡°As for you, Junior Brother,¡±


    ¡°Fight hard! Aim to take first.¡± Jin Huguo smiled, ¡°Our school has never won first place in the virtual battles of the Blue Star Championship. ¡±


    ¡°Or rather, ever since the inception of virtual battles, looking globally, the champion of every edition has always been taken by one of the three top-tier martial schools, without exception,¡± Jin Huguo said seriously. ¡°Never an exception.¡±


    ¡°No exception?¡± Li Yuan paused.


    He knew Kunlun Martial University had never won the virtual battle championship, but from Jin Huguo¡¯s meaning¡­ if he could claim the championship, it would not only be creating history for Kunlun Martial University.


    In a sense, it would also be creating a new history for the tournament, breaking the monopoly of the three top-tier martial schools over the virtual battle championship.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Jin Huguo said emotionally, ¡°haven¡¯t you noticed that among the top twenty finalists, aside from you and me, and a martial path genius ¡®Alicia¡¯ from Europa, the other seventeen are all from the three top-tier martial schools?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly ¨C indeed, that was quite striking.


    But on second thought, it made sense.


    Even among the five famous schools of Xia Country, perhaps only a senior would occasionally emerge as a Fifth Stage student.


    But a Fifth Stage student before their junior year? That¡¯s too difficult.


    Jin Huguo, for instance, was a rarity for Kunlun Martial University in recent decades.


    ¡°That Alicia is actually a bit like you,¡± Jin Huguo laughed, ¡°She also hasn¡¯t awakened her Martial Spirit, and thus didn¡¯t get into Black Stone University¡­ Her Comprehension can¡¯t match yours, but it is also extremely astonishing.¡±


    ¡°To break through to the Fifth Stage by her junior year is already very impressive,¡± Jin Huguo said earnestly.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.

    Chapter 297: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)_2


    As Li Yuan and Jin Huguo chatted, time slipped away until it was finally 7:58.


    The competition¡¯s start time was drawing closer and closer.


    Suddenly, buzz~ buzz~ two fluctuations materialized from nowhere, sweeping past Li Yuan and Jin Huguo simultaneously.


    Both of them vanished at the same moment.


    When they reappeared, they found themselves in the center of the grand competition space, surrounded by the massive battle platform.


    It wasn¡¯t just the two of them; other unparalleled geniuses like Yin Man, Zhu Tong, Dantai Feng, Hoffman, Kunale, Nevsky, and the like also materialized around the platform.


    ...


    ¡°Alicia,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at the blond, blue-eyed woman.


    She, like him, had not awakened her Martial Spirit.


    ¡­ As the twenty ultimate talents who made it into the finals appeared, the entire competition space immediately erupted, with countless spectators from all over the world madly roaring the names of contestants.


    ¡°Raja!¡±


    ¡°Kunale, we from Tianzhu are the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Nevsky, kill Harmon!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan! Yin Man! Take the first place.¡± Numerous voices rose, everyone cheering for their country¡¯s finalists.


    Without a doubt, Li Yuan¡¯s name was called out the loudest, which was a testament to his popularity.


    ¡­


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, after ten days of brutal competition, this edition of the global¡­¡± the burly host in black appeared once again, his voice thundering across heaven and earth: ¡°More than six million contestants fiercely vied for the top, and at last, we have selected twenty Martial Path geniuses.¡±


    ¡°They are Blue Star¡¯s strongest twenty talents in skills this year!!¡±


    ¡°And today¡¯s finals will decide the top ten, top five, and eventually the very first place in one go!!¡±


    ¡°First place means Blue Star¡¯s number one!!


    ¡°The top three talents identified today will soon represent Blue Star on the distant Feixing to compete against the most prodigious geniuses from the Six Great Planets!!¡± the host spoke with impassioned voice.


    Stirring the voices of all the spectators.


    Timely music also started playing.


    ¡°Wow! The number of spectators has already exceeded six million!! Haha, this is absolutely unprecedented.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Next, I will introduce the top twenty contestants one by one. They are Yin Man, Li Yuan, Bai Chuanming¡­¡± Each time the host announced a name,


    the entire competition space rang out with earth-shaking roars,


    echoing the names of each contestant.


    At last.


    After announcing the last contestant¡¯s name.


    ¡°It¡¯s already past eight o¡¯clock,¡± the host¡¯s voice turned somber: ¡°First off, we will begin with the ¡®Twenty to Ten¡¯ first round of the finals, and the matches will follow ranking by total points earned in the melee battles, with the first-ranked fighting the twentieth, second against nineteenth, and so on¡­¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the first match of the first round will be Yin Man versus Hades!¡± the hosts¡¯ voice rose once again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The twenty contestants who were originally surrounding the battle platform were instantaneously teleported into it.


    ¡°Yin Man,¡± Li Yuan immediately turned to look, considering her one of his most important competitors.


    As for Hades? Li Yuan had no deep impression of him.


    The other contestants were also watching intently, seizing the opportunity to understand the abilities of their potential next-round opponents.


    ¡­


    Since both parties¡¯ Physical Quality was set at level 18, the diameter of the battle platform was 300 meters.


    Over six million people were watching.


    Upon the battle platform, Yin Man and Hades wasted no words and immediately burst into combat.


    This battle ended very quickly, but it left the spectators and contestants alike in shock.


    Because!


    Yin Man was terrifying, as with just a single sword, she defeated the brilliant ¡®Hades¡¯ from the knockout stages.


    From start to finish, Hades barely stood a chance to resist, completely overwhelmed by Yin Man.


    In the end,


    Yin Man secured the first spot in the top ten.


    ¡°Yin Man!¡±


    ¡°Invincible!¡±


    ¡°The most beautiful Yin Man!¡± Millions of spectators from Xia Country cheered excitedly.


    ¡­


    ¡°What a terrifying Yin Man!¡± Harmon, Nevsky, and other peerless talents all marveled at Yin Man¡¯s swordsmanship and felt the pressure.


    After all, according to the data, Yin Man was best with dual swords.


    If she could easily defeat ¡®Hades¡¯, also of the Fifth Stage, with just one sword, how terrifying would she be once she unleashed both swords? S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    ¡°Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage,¡±


    ¡°Indeed, Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage. Another one, including Li Yuan and Nevsky, that makes the third one,¡± many Flying Heaven Warriors discussed among themselves in the higher Spectator Space.


    More than a hundred thousand Prime Warriors came to watch today, but there were even more than a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Today is the finals, and the Star Master didn¡¯t come?¡±


    ¡°Not sure.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see, maybe he will come for the final showdown,¡± many Flying Heaven Warriors who came to watch were actually hoping to meet the Star Master.


    Unfortunately, the Star Master didn¡¯t show up today.


    While these Flying Heaven Warriors were having their discussion, the second match had already ignited.


    ¡­


    The second battle, between Nevsky and Hoffman, erupted between two super geniuses from their respective nations.


    But in a brief moment, the battle was over.


    Once Nevsky¡¯s Axe Technique fully unleashed, a succession of axe lights cascaded continuously, crushing Hoffman outright.


    In the end, Nevsky captured the second spot in the top ten.


    ¡­


    The third match, Dantai Feng against ¡®Yu Mingwei¡¯ from Xia Country, another talent,


    was a civil war within Xia Country.


    Unavoidably, due to the rules, with Xia Country occupying six spots of the top twenty, an internal battle was bound to happen.


    This fight was bitterly contested by both sides.


    And against most spectators¡¯ expectations, Dantai Feng emerged slightly superior, enduring his severe injuries to win over Yu Mingwei.


    ¡°Haha, won! Won!¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes shone with light, one of his arms completely broken, blood flowing.

    Chapter 298: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)_3


    But Dantai Feng didn¡¯t care at all.


    ¡°Broke into the top ten!¡±


    ¡°As a freshman breaking into the top ten, that¡¯s a historical moment for Xia Country. Back in the day, Yu Jinghe, as a freshman, only made it to the top twenty.¡± Dantai Feng laughed out loud.


    He even couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan, grinning: ¡°Li Yuan, I made it to the top ten before you did.¡±


    Dantai Feng knew that his chances of breaking into the top five were very slim. Making it to the top ten was already a miracle.


    ¡°Bai Shan, you truly go beyond our ancestor in both strength and age.¡± Dantai Feng mused to himself: ¡°One session of guidance, and I¡¯ve improved this much.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan, had received help from the higher-ups of Xia Country.


    Similarly, Dantai Feng had also received gifts from the elders of Xia Country.


    Every genius, in their growth, will have their own opportunities.


    ¡­


    ¡°Dantai Feng¡¯s sword and shield coordination has gotten even stronger.¡±


    ¡°Yu Mingwei actually lost?¡± The other contenders all secretly marveled; most had thought that Dantai Feng would lose.


    ¡­


    The fourth match, the fifth match¡­ one peak duel after another, the ones eliminated were all at the Fifth Stage.


    And those Fifth Stage experts who remained were only going to be more fearsome.


    It quickly came to the seventh match¡ªLi Yuan against Kunale!!


    As the two were teleported into the duel arena, the sky erupted with earth-shattering roars; this was a battle that everyone was watching.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan!!¡± Millions of Xia Country¡¯s spectators were all shouting.


    ¡°Kunale!¡±


    ¡°Kunale.¡± Nearly a million spectators from Tianzhu Country were equally unabated.


    Spectators from other countries felt a bit emotional¡­ The cheer from these two populous countries far surpassed those from other nations.


    ¡­


    On the duel platform.


    ¡°Li Yuan, everyone says you¡¯re the top genius of Blue Star¡¯s current generation, with high hopes of winning the championship, but I don¡¯t buy it.¡± Kunale, with his high nose bridge and pale skin, stared intently at Li Yuan: ¡°I will prove to everyone that I am the strongest.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Bring out all your strength, so you won¡¯t have excuses after you lose.¡±


    ¡°After I defeat you, I will advance to the top five, and from there, claim the championship.¡± Kunale had full confidence.


    As Tianzhu¡¯s ¡®Number One Genius,¡¯ his fame was indeed considerable.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan smiled faintly: ¡°Out of respect for you, I will bring out all my strength.¡±


    Boom! Boom!


    Both sides exploded with power, rushing toward each other, clashing like lightning.


    Kunale was an expert of the sword and shield art, with extremely exquisite Sword Technique and unparalleled Shield Technique.


    This was also the reason why many people, despite not favoring him to win, believed he could hold his ground against Li Yuan for a long time.


    But¡­


    When they truly crossed swords, Kunale suffered a crushing defeat¡­ in just over ten lightning-fast exchanges.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    With a spear that cut across the vast sky, Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear had already pierced directly through Kunale¡¯s neck.


    Slain!


    Kunale, defeated!


    ¡°I thought he was stronger than this.¡± Li Yuan quickly retracted his spear, slightly shaking his head: ¡°Such a big name¡­ But to me, he seems probably even worse than Hoffman.¡±


    Thump~ Kunale¡¯s body heavily fell to the ground.


    ¡°Asking me to go all out? Too weak.¡±


    However, Li Yuan also knew in his heart that it wasn¡¯t that Kunale was truly weak, but rather that his own strength had increased.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°How is this possible!¡±


    ¡°Kunale lost so quickly?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan!!¡± Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, and other victorious contenders all changed their expressions, with shock filling their eyes.


    So strong!!


    Before the finals, most of them had analyzed Li Yuan, especially his duel with Hoffman; these Martial Path prodigies had concluded¡ªLi Yuan was good at defense, not offense.


    But now?


    With Kunale going all out on defense, he couldn¡¯t even withstand more than ten thrusts under Li Yuan¡¯s fierce attacks?


    This level of Spear Technique was significantly stronger than what Li Yuan had displayed when he defeated Hoffman.


    ¡­


    ¡°That¡¯s just sick.¡± Dantai Feng muttered to himself.


    He was quite shocked in his heart: ¡°He just broke through to the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage during the melee¡­ Has he become so much stronger in less than ten days?¡±


    Dantai Feng thought that his own progress was fast enough.


    But compared to Li Yuan? The gap seemed even bigger.


    ¡°Could it be, Li Yuan has got one of those Spear Technique leveling systems from novels?¡± Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help but think: ¡°Why don¡¯t I have such a show-off system? Then my progress would surely be just as fast.¡±


    Aside from practicing, Dantai Feng occasionally read web novels.


    ¡­


    ¡°Such impressive Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°Truly beautiful.¡±


    ¡°Meaning of the Stellar, can attack power really be so strong? His spear skills must have seen substantial improvements.¡± Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher Spectator Space were also quite astonished.


    Most of them had anticipated Li Yuan would win.


    But for him to win this easily? It went beyond their expectations!


    ¡°Haha, I previously thought Yin Man was stronger than Li Yuan, but now I¡¯m not sure anymore.¡±


    ¡°Me, too.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan won!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan rocks.¡± Xia Country¡¯s millions of spectators were exhilarated, screaming frenetically.


    Because, with Li Yuan¡¯s victory, Xia Country¡¯s six great prodigies now had three who advanced to the top ten.


    Zhu Tong and Jin Huguo hadn¡¯t competed yet.


    The only one eliminated, Yu Mingwei, had actually lost to an internal fight¡­ this success rate was astonishing indeed.


    ¡­


    Quickly, the last three matches of the first round of the finals came to an end one by one.


    Zhu Tong lost, defeated by Sakura Country¡¯s number one prodigy, ¡®Bai Chuanming.¡¯


    ¡°Bai Chuanming¡¯s Swordsmanship.¡±


    ¡°So fast.¡±


    ¡°Such a formidable Sword Technique.¡± Many spectators exhaled in admiration, even the already qualified top ten contestants like Dantai Feng and Raja showed grave expressions.


    Only in terms of Sword Technique power, it seemed that Yin Man¡¯s swordplay was faster and more ferocious.


    But in terms of speed, Bai Chuanming¡¯s Sword Technique was faster¡­ Definitely the fastest among all the Weapon Techniques of the Martial Path prodigies in the finals so far.


    In the world of martial arts, speed is unexcelled.

 Chapter 299 - 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)_4

    Chapter 299: Chapter 225: The Finals! Top Ten (Extra 22, 23)_4


    Absolute speed itself signifies tremendous might.


    ¡­


    The first round of the finals, the tenth match.


    Jin Huguo won!


    He and another martial arts prodigy ¡°Alvis¡± fought a fierce battle, lasting over ten minutes.


    It was the longest fight among the ten matches.


    ...


    Keep in mind, most of the previous fights ended within three minutes, as all participants didn¡¯t have Origin Power Battle Suits for protection, and the fights were close combat. A slight lapse was all it took for a fatal consequence.


    The fact that the fight reached a staggering ten minutes shows that the strengths of both sides were exceedingly close.


    Eventually, Jin Huguo won by a hair¡¯s breadth¡­ The calmness tinged with madness in the final stage of the battle shocked countless spectators.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin is really impressive.¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, he and Alvis are neck and neck,¡± Li Yuan marveled silently, ¡°Perhaps Senior Brother Jin¡¯s actual strength is slightly weaker, but his decisiveness in life-and-death situations far surpasses his opponent.¡±


    Li Yuan questioned if he could have done any better himself in such decisive moments.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but think of the battle between Jin Huguo and Harmon.


    Though clearly inferior in strength, Jin managed to nearly reach mutual destruction against Harmon with his terrifying battle awareness.


    Thus far,


    the top ten of the virtual battle were all selected!


    ¡­


    In front of over six million spectators,


    the time had arrived at nine o¡¯clock in the evening.


    ¡°Yin Man, Dantai Feng, Li Yuan, Jin Huguo, Bai Chuanming, Harmon, Raja, Nevsky, Alicia, Amos,¡± the host announced excitedly, ¡°let us congratulate these ten geniuses, they are the top ten of this session¡¯s virtual battle.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Yin Man!¡±


    ¡°Harmon.¡± Millions of spectators were extremely excited, many even waving their arms.


    Especially the over one million Xia Country spectators, they were ecstatic!! Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Haha, four out of the top ten geniuses are from our Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that if Dantai Feng and Yu Mingwei hadn¡¯t faced each other, maybe we could have had five spots.¡±


    Occupying four out of the ten spots indeed stood out.


    However, those who were most excited and frenzied were the students and teachers of Kunlun Martial University.


    Because among the ten spots, Kunlun Martial University accounted for two ¨C Li Yuan, Jin Huguo.


    ¡­


    In a higher-tier spectator space,


    ¡°Haha, two of the top ten geniuses are from our Kunlun Martial University,¡± Li Yang boasted proudly to the surrounding Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, ¡°Old Liu, look at your school, it hasn¡¯t had a top ten for so many years.¡±


    ¡°Look at you, so smug.¡±


    ¡°Over such a small matter.¡±


    ¡°This Li Yang always loves to show off,¡± vice-principals from Xia Country¡¯s other four famous schools couldn¡¯t help but mock.


    ¡°What do you mean ¡®show off¡¯?¡± Li Yang glared, ¡°This is called confidence! If you had students this amazing, you¡¯d be more confident than me.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you guys are like.¡±


    ¡­


    The top ten geniuses of the virtual battle were selected.


    After only ten minutes of rest, the second round of the finals was about to begin ¨C the top five.


    The matches would be randomly paired by the virtual network system.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°The pairing is complete,¡± the host stated solemnly as he looked at the freshly printed list of match orders, ¡°In the top five, the victor of each fight will break into the top five, and then the final round will determine the champion.¡±


    ¡°I announce, the first fight of the second round.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan versus Bai Chuanming!!¡± the host¡¯s voice was full of vigor.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan and Bai Chuanming were instantly transported to the ring, immediately drawing the attention of countless viewers.


    These two,


    one hailed as the number one talent of the current era from Blue Star.


    The other had just shown formidable strength and was considered by many to have a chance to break into the top five.


    And now they were clashing together.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Bai Chuanming, you are the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Bai Chuan will definitely take the championship,¡± cheers thundered from the Spectator Platform from countless Xia Country and Sakura Country spectators.


    ¡­On the ring.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your strength is indeed formidable, but I will not give up,¡± Bai Chuanming, gripping his sword tightly, stared fixedly at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Your sword is very fast,¡± Li Yuan said calmly, holding his long spear with a slight smile, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s see how fast your sword can be.¡±

    Chapter 300: Chapter 226: The Clash of Titans! The Terrifying Li Yuan! (Double Chapters for Monthly Votes)


    Countless spectators were incredibly excited, shouting the names of Li Yuan and Bai Chuanming, especially those from Sakura Country and Xia Country, who were paying utmost attention.


    Because there were only three rounds in today¡¯s final match, and if one could advance from the second to the final round, they would have a chance to claim the championship.


    However, among the spectators, the truly formidable experts, such as Hoffman, Zhu Tong, Tian Dazhuang, and other top ten combatants who had yet to compete, like Yin Man, had a clear understanding in their hearts.


    At least from the perspective of demonstrated strength, they were more inclined toward Li Yuan.


    Because whether it was defeating Hoffman in the melee or Kunale in the first round of the finals, Li Yuan had shown overwhelmingly powerful strength.


    ¡­On the dueling stage.


    ...


    A person¡¯s reputation, like the shadow of a tree, was facing Li Yuan, the overpoweringly dominant first-year student who had swept through numerous geniuses. Bai Chuanming, Sakura Country¡¯s top prodigy, also felt immense pressure.


    ¡°Come on.¡±


    Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°You should be aware that once I make a move, your chances of winning are very slim.¡±


    If the opponent expressed goodwill, Li Yuan generally wouldn¡¯t show hostility. Since Bai Chuanming wasn¡¯t as arrogant as Kunale, naturally, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t be too overbearing.


    ¡°Alright, then let me learn from Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique,¡± Bai Chuanming said in a low voice, his hands gripping his sword. With a flicker, his figure surged forward tens of meters, attacking Li Yuan.


    The sword struck!


    Whoosh! A dazzling streak of light lashed out.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    Li Yuan, responding a split second later, wasn¡¯t careless. Gripping his long spear with both hands, he thrust forward explosively, the spear tip touching the blade.


    A terrifying force transmitted through the long sword slightly affected Bai Chuanming¡¯s body, causing him to involuntarily retreat sharply backward.


    It was too precise.


    ¡°Impossible,¡± Bai Chuanming¡¯s complexion changed slightly as he flashed forward again, the sword striking out anew.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sword light was like a cascade of light, each stroke executed with a speed that reached alarming levels.


    But.


    Bai Chuanming¡¯s sword was fast, yet Li Yuan¡¯s spear was faster. In an instant, Li Yuan¡¯s spear burst forth with terrifying spear light, transforming into an all-encompassing barrage of spear shadows.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± With each collision like a strike of lightning, every sword light was met in midair by Li Yuan¡¯s spear and immediately parried.


    Truly fearsome.


    It should be understood that Li Yuan wasn¡¯t just blocking or sweeping aside the attacks. He was simply using direct thrusts to seal off all of Bai Chuanming¡¯s options.


    No matter how fast Bai Chuanming¡¯s swordsmanship.


    No matter how nimble his movement technique.


    In front of Li Yuan, all his actions appeared to be anticipated, leaving him without any power to resist.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Such a fast sword technique, Bai Chuanming¡¯s swordsmanship is not to be underestimated.¡±


    ¡°But Li Yuan¡¯s spear, that¡¯s the real terror, absolute control.¡± Harmon, Nevsky, Alicia, and others all had their expressions change.


    At this moment, in their hearts, Li Yuan had been marked as the number one enemy.


    There was no helping it.


    Even if they were confident they could beat Bai Chuanming, they definitely couldn¡¯t do it to this extent.


    As for Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, Raja, Amos, and others, they were even more shocked.


    Because, let alone Li Yuan.


    They weren¡¯t even sure they could win against the strength Bai Chuanming had shown.


    Finally.


    On the stage, after more than two hundred exchanges, Bai Chuanming grew increasingly distressed as he retreated explosively backward.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to end this,¡± Li Yuan finally moved.


    Indeed, during the two hundred exchanges, Li Yuan had been standing still, and this move was like the sky-shattering stone. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Despite acting later, Li Yuan¡¯s burst speed completely surpassed Bai Chuanming¡¯s.


    He closed the distance in a flash.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Over 110 meters per second?¡± Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, and even Yin Man and Nevsky had their expressions change, as they saw the data calculations on the projected screens on each side.


    In that instant, Li Yuan almost burst forth to that speed in 0.3 seconds.


    Too terrifying.


    It is known that all competitors had a standard physical quality of 18 levels, with a standard speed of only 85 meters per second. Fifth-stage masters, once they erupted, could essentially reach 110 meters per second under a state of subtlety, but that required acceleration, at least one or two seconds.


    Li Yuan? It was practically an instantaneous burst.


    This demonstrated that his control over his body, his integration with the surroundings, far surpassed theirs.


    ¡­


    On the stage.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan held nothing back, his spear thrusts swift as lightning, spanning the vast sky, one after another like a barrage of stars crushing down.


    He attacked Bai Chuanming.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Bai Chuanming¡¯s face changed, watching the lightning-fast spear thrusts approaching, swinging his sword in an attempt to block them.


    ¡°Clang, clang, clang!¡±


    Twelve consecutive thrusts, each faster than the last, and by the time the final blow came, both the speed and power had far surpassed Bai Chuanming¡¯s ability to defend.


    He just couldn¡¯t block it.


    ¡°Splurt!¡± The tip of the spear swept by, directly slashing Bai Chuanming¡¯s throat.


    Because it was too quick, blood didn¡¯t even flow out for a moment.


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s definitely at the intermediate rank of the Fifth Stage, and not just recently advanced to that level.¡± Bai Chuanming realized this point, barely managing to smile and murmured a ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Bai Chuanming could no longer speak.


    He knew, if Li Yuan had fully unleashed his power from the start, he would have been completely overpowered.


    No matter how he attacked with more than two hundred moves, the final outburst, in a sense, was helping him.


    Bai Chuanming was thoroughly convinced by his defeat.


    At this point, the first victor among the top five emerged ¡ª Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan won?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is indeed powerful, once he exploded with an attack, Bai Chuanming definitely couldn¡¯t withstand it.¡±


    ¡°Worthy of being Blue Star¡¯s top talent.¡± Numerous people from Xia Country excitedly said, and even in their discussions, they began to subconsciously overlook the premise ¡®of this generation.¡¯

    Chapter 304: Chapter 227 The Number One of Blue Star (Extra 24)


    ¡°How could the power contained in this spear be so much stronger than mine?¡± Nevsky could hardly believe it.


    It should be noted that he is an intermediate-rank, fifth-stage martial artist too.


    In theory, even if Li Yuan¡¯s skill realm was somewhat higher than his, the pure strength gap shouldn¡¯t be this substantial.


    When one¡¯s skills reach the fourth level, the difference in weapons becomes minimal, and after stepping into the fifth stage, the difference is even smaller, because every high-rank fifth-stage martial artist¡¯s skill level is so high it is nearly a path.


    They place more emphasis on the harmony of mind, body, and the universe, seeking to harness more of the power of heaven and earth.


    Weapons? They are more about fitting with one¡¯s own heart and intentions.


    ...


    Take, for example, the third-rank secret manual ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡±; why isn¡¯t it called ¡°Stellar Spear¡±? To achieve this level, whether it¡¯s a spear or an axe, it all follows the heart.


    Just like Li Yuan.


    Ordinary people use spears, naturally excelling at attacking.


    But with the skill realm of ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡±, when using this mindset to control weapons, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique for defense becomes far more powerful than his attacks.


    Facing Nevsky, Li Yuan was clear in his mind that winning with ordinary killing moves was very unlikely.


    Nevsky¡¯s chosen path suited the battle axe extremely well, and he was very adept at attacking.


    Therefore, without a moment¡¯s hesitation, Li Yuan launched his strongest move¡ªGalaxy Spiral.


    ¡°I refuse to believe this.¡± Nevsky roared angrily, his body springing into motion once more. He stepped fiercely across the platform, each step making the platform tremble faintly as if mountains were crumbling and the earth was splitting apart.


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, looked at his opponent impassively, motionless.


    Boom! At the moment Nevsky was about to get close, he finally struck down at Li Yuan like a fierce tiger.


    Whoosh!


    He leaped up, raising the battle axe high, unleashing all his vigor, and with everything he had, he chopped down fiercely with his axe.


    This blow, fueled by Nevsky¡¯s anger, was unquestionably the most powerful he had ever unleashed in virtual combat.


    Nevsky believed that even Yin Man wouldn¡¯t dare take on this blow head-on.


    Finally.


    Li Yuan moved, and indeed, he no longer took the blow head-on; he launched a counter-attack. His speed exploded to its peak within 0.3 seconds, surpassing 110 meters per second.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan leaped up too.


    Facing a full-force sprint from Nevsky, Li Yuan did not retreat an inch; on the contrary, he chose to clash head-on. At that moment, the two were like two terrifying meteors colliding.


    ¡°Swish!¡± Li Yuan suddenly thrust out his spear, and the spear light bloomed, spreading layer upon layer like a starry river erupting, like a dazzling galaxy with countless stars revolving around its center.


    Threads of starlight converged at the center.


    At that moment, Li Yuan, with his long spear in hand, seemed to transform into a huge vortex, drawing upon the mysterious powers of heaven and earth, creating a most astonishing twisting and absorbing force.


    And his spear met Nevsky¡¯s roaring incoming battle axe with a thunderous collision!!


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    The terrifying collision, the dreadful aftermath, the shockwave spread visibly in all directions.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The horrifying impact force sent Nevsky flying backward, his body tumbling heavily onto the ground.


    Then, he rolled over, getting up on one knee.


    ¡°Pfft~¡± A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out of Nevsky¡¯s mouth, the boiling sensation in his blood finally easing somewhat.


    ¡°I¡¯m injured.¡± Nevsky moved his thoughts and could clearly sense the pulled muscles in his arm.


    Throughout his body, countless minute injuries had appeared.


    What about Li Yuan then?


    In such a head-on clash, Li Yuan merely flew back several meters before stopping in his tracks.


    As if unaffected by any impact at all.


    The victor had been decided.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength,¡± Nevsky slowly rose to his feet, fixating his gaze on Li Yuan.


    Never understanding why Li Yuan¡¯s strength was so terrifying, but Nevsky knew that strong was strong.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength indeed far surpassed his own.


    ¡°What¡¯s the name of that move?¡± Nevsky¡¯s voice was hoarse.


    ¡°Galactic Stream Vortex,¡± Li Yuan replied calmly, aware of how formidable this self-created killing move was.


    This move was best at defense.


    Yet, when used for a head-on collision, its might was still terrifyingly great, surpassing any of the moves in the Stellar Five Styles.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I concede wholly to you, convinced both in heart and word,¡± Nevsky took a deep breath, ¡°Come, defeat me completely.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded. If he hadn¡¯t created this move, he might not have been able to defeat Nevsky.


    Boom! Li Yuan moved once more, his figure darting forward at a terrifying speed.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The long spear thrust out, with a terrifying screeching sound that echoed through the vast sky, striking at Nevsky.


    ¡­


    In the higher-level Spectator Space, over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors were stunned by this spectacle.


    After their initial shock, over a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors began to express their admiration and amazement.


    ¡°A True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s a True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    ¡°If the first move wasn¡¯t quite clear, now there¡¯s no doubt about it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s certainly a True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    ¡°The most difficult hurdle to overcome to reach Fifth Stage Perfection has just been breached by him.¡±


    ¡°Truly an exceptional prodigy,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors chatted among themselves, feeling somewhat emotional.


    Just as with the Fourth Level in skills, one gradually penetrates deeper in controlling the body, until at Fourth Level Perfection the spirit reaches subtlety, and one¡¯s strength will surge, utterly overwhelming any at the High Rank of the Fourth Level.


    The Fifth Stage follows the same principle.


    Unity of Heaven and Man at the Fifth Stage, from the Initial Rank, Intermediate Rank, to High Rank, is all about deepening the comprehension of nature, a continual accumulation of quantity without any real qualitative change.


    The force of heaven and earth that one draws upon isn¡¯t really considerable.


    Only by stepping from the High Rank of the Fifth Stage to Perfection, does one achieve a fundamental difference.


    Why can one ascend to the Flying Heaven Realm upon reaching Fifth Stage Perfection?


    The heart of the matter lies in the two words: ¡®True Intent.¡¯


    The extreme limit of the Fifth Stage High Rank signifies that one¡¯s accumulation of quantity has reached its zenith, and one must endeavor to integrate the manifold comprehensions of heaven and earth, truly seeking the essence of the workings of the cosmos¡ª the Mysteries of True Intent.


    Upon comprehending even a hint of the Mysteries of True Intent, and being able to manifest that hint through a certain specific killing move, one can significantly enhance the might of the technique.


    This is what constitutes a True Intent Killing Move.


    Also known as a True Intent Killing Technique.


    Once a True Intent Killing Move has been comprehended, as long as one¡¯s comprehension of the cosmos reaches an exceedingly high level, one can naturally transition from the High Rank of the Fifth Stage to the Perfection Level.


    To put it simply.


    Even among Flying Heaven Warriors, many have only comprehended a few True Intent Killing Moves.


    And as Flying Heaven Warriors comprehend more True Intent Killing Moves, say five or six similar techniques, their comprehension of True Intent grows deeper.


    Until one day, when every move can contain the Mysteries of True Intent, transcending the need for True Intent Killing Moves, that is when one truly ascends to the Sixth Stage of skills¡ªTrue Intent.


    And Li Yuan.


    He is still far from that level, and the might of this newly-created True Intent Killing Move is not very strong, but it¡¯s enough to astonish the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Because it signifies that, as long as Li Yuan progresses step by step in his cultivation from the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, to High Rank, and then to Perfection¡­ virtually nothing will stand in his way.


    ¡­


    ¡°True Intent Killing Move?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡± Li Yang and Dean Xu, sitting in the back rows, were both greatly shocked, with speculations arising in their hearts.


    ¡°It must be,¡± Dean Xu couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Otherwise, his spear technique wouldn¡¯t possess such power, completely overwhelming Nevsky.¡±


    ¡°To grasp a True Intent Killing Move at only Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?¡± Li Yang shook his head, ¡°This! This!¡±


    They were indeed shocked.


    Normally, one would need to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, reach the limit of Fifth Stage High Rank, and accumulate quantity.


    Then, seek a breakthrough in quality.


    ¡°His move is still immature, but it has already surpassed us in essence,¡± Dean Xu couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Perhaps, this is what a true genius is.¡±


    ¡°A genius that we never dared to imagine.¡±


    ¡­


    On the stage, the showdown between Li Yuan and Nevsky had reached its final phase.


    Clash after clash, lightning-fast.


    Even though Li Yuan did not deliberately pursue ending the fight, his spear technique burst forth time and again, its power far surpassing that of Nevsky.


    Each clash inflicted considerable damage on Nevsky¡¯s body.


    After hundreds of consecutive collisions, Nevsky could no longer withstand them, and was grazed across the throat by Li Yuan¡¯s long spear.


    Defeat!


    To this point, Li Yuan had consecutively defeated three of the previous top five experts, Harmon, Alicia, and Nevsky, also achieving a three-win streak.


    He was just one battle away from his last fight with Yin Man.


    ¡­


    ¡°He won just like that?¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t Nevsky supposed to be strong?¡± the countless spectators from all over the world murmured in disbelief.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that Nevsky is weak, it¡¯s that Li Yuan is too strong. I even feel Li Yuan might be stronger than Yin Man.¡±


    ¡°Terrifying Li Yuan.¡± The numerous voices of discussions filled the air, and perhaps the vast majority of the spectators couldn¡¯t recognize the mysteries of a ¡®True Intent Killing Move,¡¯ but they could see that Li Yuan¡¯s strength far exceeded that of Nevsky.


    ¡°He¡¯s won.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has defeated Nevsky.¡±


    ¡°The final battle is coming up next,¡± the innumerable spectators from Xia Country were exceedingly excited.


    Because, both Yin Man and Li Yuan, who completed a three-win streak, were from Xia Country.


    One could say that even before the final showdown had started, it was already destined that the champion would be from Xia Country.


    For the millions of Xia Country spectators, this meant they didn¡¯t need to worry about who would win, allowing them to fully enjoy watching the final match.


    ¡°Senior brother.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, you must win.¡± However, tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University were growing even more nervous.


    Champion!


    Just one last fight remained.


    ¡­


    Without making all the spectators wait too long, the tenth match quickly erupted.


    Li Yuan versus Yin Man.


    Both competitors, since the beginning of the free-for-all bouts, had swept through their respective Star Realm battlefields with absolute dominance, brutally making their way into the finals.


    Before the finals, there hadn¡¯t been a single opponent who could cause them any obstruction.


    Both were overwhelmingly strong, cutting their way to the end.


    However.


    This highly anticipated mightiest showdown was nearly predetermined before it had even started.


    Atop the stage.


    ¡°I cannot win against you,¡± Yin Man sighed lightly, her eyes filled with complexity.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you try?¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Since your last battle, I¡¯ve understood that I cannot win.¡± Yin Man spoke slowly, ¡°However, for the sake of honor, I¡¯ll still fight with all my might.¡±


    Yin Man had an extremely high perspective.


    In terms of skill, her level might be even higher, but she had yet to create her own True Intent Killing Move.


    Thus, the outcome of this battle was nearly certain.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded and moved first, taking the initiative to strike.


    This was the first time Li Yuan took the initiative to engage in combat in the finals.


    This battle.


    The fight between them was incredibly fierce, with Yin Man¡¯s swordsmanship dazzling¡ªher twin swords in hand truly revealed her terrifying strength¡ªsword light like flowing water, madly pouring onto Li Yuan¡¯s long spear.


    But.


    When Li Yuan executed the move ¡°Galactic Flowing Rotation,¡± all those countless sword lights fell, only to be ceaselessly neutralized by the mysterious power of heaven and earth, and easily blocked by Li Yuan.


    Almost standing on invincible ground.


    With every clash, Li Yuan could easily deflect the impact, but the horrible force left Yin Man wounded time and again.


    Finally, after a thousand exchanges, Yin Man¡¯s body could no longer withstand the repeated impacts, injuries reaching their limit, her body completely broke down, and her power and speed sharply declined.


    She was struck in the neck by a thrust from Li Yuan¡¯s spear.


    Victory.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t created ¡®Galactic Flowing Rotation,¡¯ based purely on skill level, I wouldn¡¯t be your match,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He had immense respect for Yin Man, whose level of skill was definitely above 40% of the Fifth Stage.


    But, the advantage in skill couldn¡¯t make up for the disparity in the power of a True Intent Killing Move.


    To exhibit a higher realm, one needed sufficiently powerful techniques.


    ¡°I¡¯ve won.¡±


    ¡°Virtual battle, first place.¡± Immediately, Li Yuan¡¯s mouth also revealed a slight smile.


    ¡­


    ¡°He¡¯s won!¡±


    ¡°First place! Blue Star¡¯s first place! Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s made history, the first virtual battle champion not from the top three martial arts schools.¡± The millions of spectators in the Spectator Platform were completely boiling with excitement.


    Especially the tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University, who were utterly ecstatic.

    ¡°`


    The global university martial arts competition virtual battle has ended, and students from all over the world have left the competition space.


    ¡°Li Yuan is too fierce.¡±


    ¡°It seems that Nevsky and Yin Man were almost on par with him in the fight, but on closer thought, they weren¡¯t able to shake Li Yuan at all.¡±


    ¡°Indeed brutal.¡±


    ¡°A freshman winning the championship! This is the first time in history.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Awesome.¡±


    ¡°Coming to watch the battle and witnessing history with my own eyes.¡± Millions of students were discussing with each other, all quite excited, and the topic of discussion was almost always about Li Yuan.


    There was no way around it.


    It was occasional for a sophomore to break into the top ten of a virtual battle, but to win the championship? In the history of the Blue Star competition virtual battles, there were only two instances of a sophomore champion.


    One of those instances was Yu Jinghe.


    A freshman taking the championship? That was a first in over thirty years, and what¡¯s more, the champion wasn¡¯t even from one of the three top martial arts institutions¡­ which made it even rarer.


    In the subsequent decades or even longer, it would probably be very difficult to have such an achievement again.


    ¡­


    ¡°Awesome!¡± Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes shone as he almost hugged Li Yuan tight, ¡°Brother Yuan, you really are awesome! Champion, haha.¡±


    Li Yuan had returned to the Spectator Platform and smiled.


    At this moment, Li Yuan felt tens of thousands of gazes upon him, burning hot.


    Too enthusiastic.


    ¡°The big brother is really strong.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the first time in history a freshman has won the championship, and it¡¯s someone from our school.¡± The tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University had converged into a sea of joy: ¡°Haha, the students from the three top martial schools are so powerful, but in the end, they all lost to big brother.¡± sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Truly gratifying.¡±


    ¡°What genius is better than Li Yuan the genius.¡± At this moment, the students of Kunlun Martial University felt proud by association.

    In a higher-level Spectator Space.


    ¡°Haha, yes, he¡¯s my student.¡± Dean Hai was conversing with other Flying Heaven Warriors, smiling: ¡°I didn¡¯t teach him much, just casually taught¡­ But still, Li Yuan respects me a lot, he often comes to ask me about cultivation issues.¡±


    ¡°What? I don¡¯t cultivate the Earth Vein?¡±


    ¡°Is that important?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Who had the most influence in cultivating Li Yuan? It must be Dean Hai¡¯s primary guidance,¡± Li Yang was boasting to other Top Grade Origin Martial Artists from different schools: ¡°But Dean Hai is very busy.¡±


    ¡°On regular days, it¡¯s definitely me who teaches him the most. I¡¯m his direct teacher, after all.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan winning the championship surpassed the imagination of most people, even those who were the most optimistic about him had never imagined Li Yuan would sweep a group of top-tier geniuses from their second and third years and forcefully take the championship.


    As predictable.


    As time passed, the news of the championship victory would quickly ferment and spread across the globe¡­ further solidifying his title as ¡°the number one prodigy of the contemporary Blue Star.¡±


    ¡­


    Under the night sky filled with stars, inside the saucer-shaped aircraft above Kunlun Martial University.


    Inside the Quiet Cultivation Room.


    Whoosh!


    A young man in black, Fang Hai, was meditating with his eyes closed; around him, countless blue glimmers were flickering, making his presence seem all the more ethereal and unpredictable.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master! Hai Yi requests communication.¡± The voice of the assistant AI rang out.


    The young man in black gently opened his eyes and said softly, ¡°Answer.¡±


    Beep! The communication was established!


    ¡°Old Fang.¡± Dean Hai¡¯s voice came from the communication, sounding a bit excited: ¡°The virtual battle has ended. Why didn¡¯t you come to watch the final today?¡±


    ¡°No point,¡± the young man in black said dismissively.


    For Fang Hai, the first time he watched the battle was to fully assess Li Yuan¡¯s strength and potential.


    Having seen it once, to keep repeating it was meaningless.


    In his heart, Fang Hai valued his own strength more and was more confident in himself.


    ¡°Damn, you think it¡¯s pointless? You are the principal!¡± Dean Hai complained, ¡°Li Yuan has made history for the school. Guess which place Li Yuan took?¡±


    ¡°Which place? Second or third, I guess,¡± Fang Hai said softly. ¡°In terms of strength, he shouldn¡¯t be a match for Yin Man.¡±


    As one of the top figures in Xia Country.


    Having decided to give the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot to Li Yuan, Fang Hai naturally had a good understanding of Yin Man¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    ¡°You can be wrong too.¡± Dean Hai laughed aloud: ¡°Let me tell you, Li Yuan crushed Yin Man and won first place!! Li Yuan is the virtual battle champion.¡±


    Fang Hai was suddenly taken aback.


    Champion? Impossible!


    He was very confident in his own judgment.


    ¡°Shall I tell you about it in detail?¡± Dean Hai asked with a smirk: ¡°I¡¯ll tell you¡­¡±


    ¡°No need,¡± Fang Hai said coolly: ¡°It¡¯s just a virtual battle championship, fine, I got it.¡±


    Beep~


    Fang Hai abruptly hung up the call.


    ¡­


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    In a villa, Dean Hai looked at the ended call and couldn¡¯t help but complain: ¡°This guy always acts all aloof in front of me, definitely going to secretly watch the video again.¡±


    When Fang Hai was still a Prime Warrior, he and Dean Hai had ventured together through life and death situations, forming a deep friendship.


    Almost like brothers.


    For that reason, Dean Hai could be so uninhibited in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡­


    Inside the saucer-shaped aircraft.


    ¡°True Intent technique?¡± Fang Hai was looking at the light screen projection in front of him, which was displaying the final battles between Li Yuan, Nevsky, and Yin Man.


    As a Star Master of the alliance, he had high-level access, allowing him to view various videos at will.


    ¡°He reached Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage in such a short time, and he has already realized a True Intent technique?¡±


    ¡°Is his comprehension so high?¡± Fang Hai murmured to himself.


    Giving the caliber of Fang Hai¡¯s position and strength, for him to use the word ¡°high¡± was enough to prove his inner surprise.


    After a moment of silence.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s fine,¡± Fang Hai revealed a slight smile. ¡°When he goes to Feixing, perhaps he will give the Master a big surprise.¡±


    Then.


    Fang Hai passed the message on to the other two Demigods of Xia Country before turning off the light screen projection.

    Li Yuan performed very well, exceeding his expectations.


    But in the end, he only possessed Fifth Stage skills and his physical quality was only at level 19¡­ there was still a long road to go before he truly grew up.


    ¡­


    In the midst of excitement and noise.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t delay for too long and soon left the virtual network, exiting the virtual network pod.


    All was quiet.


    ...


    ¡°Everything is indeed just as I expected,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently.


    ¡°The killing move I created inadvertently is unbeatably powerful, now no one will be able to stop me,¡± Li Yuan contemplated.


    When he created the move ¡°Star River Whirl¡± during the day, Li Yuan had already felt confident enough to claim the championship.


    Actually, Li Yuan still didn¡¯t know that this move was a ¡°True Intent Killing Move¡±; he just felt that this move could perfectly channel the power of heaven and earth and could fully exhibit his own understanding.


    ¡°Yet, it¡¯s still not strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Continue cultivating.¡±


    ¡°Fighting against these Fifth Stage masters has indeed revealed many of my own deficiencies,¡± Li Yuan reflected after many battles that evening, naturally leading to numerous new insights.


    But turning these insights into thorough understanding required more cultivation.


    Cultivation in the Martial Path and advancement in Spear Technique didn¡¯t come from empty thoughts, they were achieved through practicing one spear move after another. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan left the resting room, took a weapon from the weapon rack beside him, and went to the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Hmm? That¡¯s not right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s past midnight?¡± Li Yuan glanced at the smart ring on his wrist, which displayed a time reminder.


    Every night after midnight marked the beginning of a new round of cultivation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start with the Visualization Method.¡±


    Having just won the championship, Li Yuan naturally felt excited and even a bit overwhelmed.


    After all, winning the championship as a freshman was indeed making history.


    But when he returned to the underground Martial Arts Room of his villa at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan quickly calmed down, recalling the teachings of his uncle.


    ¡°Today¡¯s achievements are because of yesterday¡¯s efforts!¡±


    ¡°And tomorrow¡¯s achievements?¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes shining: ¡°Are because of today¡¯s efforts.¡±


    ¡°Therefore.¡±


    ¡°To have great achievements tomorrow as well, I must not slack off today! I cannot relax.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, continue working hard,¡± Li Yuan set aside the joy of winning the championship and returned to a state of peacefulness within.


    He placed the Black Chen Spear aside.


    Li Yuan sat down cross-legged and began a new round of Visualization Method cultivation.


    His consciousness flowed into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, entering the grand Jade Platform¡­ and began suppressing the proud sun that was rising again.


    It was very painful! Arguably torture!


    Yet Li Yuan enjoyed it, enduring wave after wave of the scorching light of All Heavens¡¯ Stars and feeling his consciousness growing stronger.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was immersed in cultivation, the news of his championship had spread across the globe with astonishing speed.


    ¡°First place! Li Yuan has won first place.¡±


    ¡°Virtual combat champion, the peerless genius Li Yuan, truly deserving of the name ¡®genius.''¡±


    ¡°If you marry, marry someone like Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Sweeping away all geniuses, the future pride of the Human Race,¡± countless posts and short videos spread wildly, attracting a huge number of people.


    Although under the surveillance of the virtual network, there was no transmission of the final battle video.


    However, the related news was not controlled.


    Whereas the previously spread promotional videos were debated over whether or not he truly was Blue Star¡¯s number one genius of his generation¡­ the moment he overpowered everyone to clinch the virtual combat championship as a freshman.


    All debates vanished into thin air.


    Every advantage has its disadvantage.


    As the results of the tournament spread wildly across the virtual network, the information was naturally also relayed by many spies hidden on Blue Star through special channels into some parts of the Star Realm.


    Foreign Civilizations were also highly concerned about a peerless genius like Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    The outside world was buzzing with activity.


    But within the underground Martial Arts Room in Li Yuan¡¯s villa at Kunlun Martial University, it was exceptionally quiet.


    Two hours of the Visualization Method, two hours of ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡±¡­ At four in the morning, Li Yuan came to his senses, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.


    He began a new day¡¯s Spear Technique cultivation.


    ¡°The light of the Star River gathers into a swirl, its defensive power is terrifying, it easily blocked Nevsky and Yin Man¡¯s attacks,¡± Li Yuan held the Black Chen Spear, contemplating his technique: ¡°But it¡¯s not enough, the power of my Star Whirl is still not strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Especially when facing Yin Man.¡±


    ¡°Her sword is extremely fast, with continuous attacks¡­ If it were just a bit faster, it might have been able to rip through my Spear Whirl defense,¡± Li Yuan was acutely aware of this.


    There was no such thing as an absolutely invincible defense.


    If it couldn¡¯t be breached? Then it only means that the attacking power is not strong enough yet.


    ¡°I must continue to cultivate and try to further enhance the power of this move,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°Relying solely on this move makes me very passive in a real battle.¡±


    In arena duels where there must be a victor, having a strong defense is very advantageous.


    But in the real world, other masters could simply flee¡­ A defensive killing move could only save one¡¯s life but made it hard to kill the enemy.


    ¡°To kill the enemy.¡±


    ¡°Then, I¡¯d better craft an attack killing move,¡± Li Yuan contemplated: ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡­ transitioning from defense to offense.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! While Li Yuan was pondering, his Black Chen Spear followed his thoughts and danced, generating dazzling and fearsome Spear Light.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had completely immersed himself in the cultivation of Spear Technique, earnestly trying to validate his thoughts and ideas¡­ in order to achieve a breakthrough in his technique.


    Hum~


    Silently, light flickered within Li Yuan¡¯s body from his Perfect Star Vein, increasing his resonance with the ¡°Law of Earth¡± that mysteriously operated throughout heaven and earth.


    The Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± being part of the Ninefold Star Technique, was not to be underestimated even though Li Yuan had only cultivated it to the 6th level¡­


    Perhaps.


    Other martial arts prodigies who made it into the top hundred or top ten were still reveling in joy¡­ but Li Yuan had already dedicated his entire being to the next phase of cultivation.

    In the early hours of the morning, just after six o¡¯clock, Dantai Feng woke from his sleep and went down to the Martial Arts Room to begin a new day of training.

    ¡°If we were to fight all out, I fear I couldn¡¯t hold him off for long,¡± Dantai Feng recalled the battle scene from yesterday involving Li Yuan.


    He was too strong.


    ¡°Dazhuang has also made rapid progress, reaching Subtlety so quickly,¡± Dantai Feng mused to himself, ¡°I need to keep pushing myself.¡±


    In his bones, Dantai Feng was not one to admit defeat.


    Barely half an hour later.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master, your great ancestor is calling you,¡± the assistant AI¡¯s voice rang out.


    ¡°Great ancestor?¡± Dantai Feng was first startled, then he quickly realized and immediately said, ¡°Answer it.¡±


    Hum~


    Countless rays of light converged to form a light screen projection, in which appeared a middle-aged man with white hair. His skin was smooth, but his eyes were filled with a sense of age and wisdom.

    The grandfather of one¡¯s grandfather is indeed the great-great-grandfather.

    ¡°Xiaofeng,¡± the white-haired middle-aged man smiled slightly, a hint of indulgence in his eyes, ¡°The Blue Star competition virtual battle has ended. How do you rate yourself? How many points out of ten would you give?¡±


    ¡°Nine points,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile.


    ¡°Oh? And the one point?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man asked curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid of being arrogant, so I deducted one point,¡± Dantai Feng shrugged his shoulders, as he was always very open in front of his great-great-grandfather.


    ¡°Haha, so you¡¯re saying you¡¯ve given yourself full marks?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man laughed, not blaming Dantai Feng for his pride.


    Dantai Feng was his most outstanding descendant, and he was very satisfied with Dantai Feng¡¯s performance.


    ¡°Are you planning to go to Feixing this year, or wait until next year?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man asked


    ¡°Can I go?¡± Dantai Feng was taken aback.


    To his knowledge, although a few exceptional talents are selected in theory, this happens very rarely.


    ¡°You broke into the top ten of the virtual battles in your freshman year, why can¡¯t you go?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man said with a smile, ¡°These Martial God Inheritance spots are not set in stone.¡±


    ¡°Understood, I leave the decision to great-great-grandfather,¡± Dantai Feng nodded.


    ¡°Alright, let it be decided then,¡± the white-haired middle-aged man said indifferently, ¡°By the way, how is your relationship with Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Not bad,¡± Dantai Feng nodded.


    He wasn¡¯t surprised at all that his great-great-grandfather mentioned Li Yuan¡­ Such an exceptional talent would soon become known to the most pinnacle beings of human civilization.


    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll prepare a gift for him,¡± the white-haired middle-aged man nodded slightly, ¡°Try to get along well with him when you go to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°In the future, you both might become Star Masters or even Demigods in the alliance¡­ It¡¯s very important for you to stay united,¡±


    ¡°Yes, great-great-grandfather,¡±


    ¡­


    In the distant Wanhan Star Realm, at its depths,


    Within a secret location belonging to the Tianliang Clan beneath the continuous glaciers, inside a majestic palace.


    ¡°Another improvement?¡±


    ¡°He truly is the newest rising superstar of the Seven Stars human civilization,¡± a figure in a purple robe reviewed the data on the light screen in front of him, which was full of text messages.


    The texts described some of the scenes from the virtual battle finals¡­ but there were only words.


    No video of the finals!


    Hum~


    The light screen before the figure in the purple robe suddenly trembled violently. Following that, the screen flickered, and it now displayed a figure in white clothes, her face as cold as frost and quite beautiful.


    But it didn¡¯t evoke the slightest desire, only awe.


    ¡°Demigod,¡± the figure in the purple robe immediately said respectfully.


    ¡°Zi Xin,¡± the voice of the figure in white clothes was icy cold. She stood in the light screen projection, yet her voice echoed in the vast palace.


    The figure in the purple robe bowed even lower.


    ¡°Number Three is dead,¡± the figure in white clothes said emotionlessly, ¡°I¡¯ve verified it through a secret technique¡­ no mistake, it was you who arranged for him to assassinate Li Yuan, wasn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Number Three is dead?¡± The figure in the purple robe was shocked.


    He was not yet aware of this.


    New information traveled very difficultly between Blue Star and Wanhan Star Realm, and to avoid detection by the Seven Stars human civilization, unless it was a special circumstance, they rarely made contact with each other.


    ¡°Demigod, how could Number Three die?¡± the figure in the purple robe couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°He had mastered both the Blood Shadow Incarnation and Shadow Stealth secret techniques¡­ even a Demigod would have a hard time tracking him down, right?¡±


    If it came to a direct confrontation, a Demigod could easily crush him, of course.


    But why was Number Three renowned as a fearsome assassin? It was his fearless Incarnation and the difficult-to-track Stealth technique.


    ¡°The reason is not yet clear,¡±


    ¡°The chances are high that the Seven Stars human civilization has developed the ability to counter moves like Number Three¡¯s,¡± the figure in white clothes said coldly, ¡°Order all Infiltrators to enter a dormant state temporarily, until the time comes for them to be activated again.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the figure in the purple robe said in succession, unable to restrain himself from adding, ¡°What about Li Yuan? What should we do?¡±


    ¡°Give up,¡± the figure in white clothes said coldly, ¡°Number Three was the strongest force we could deploy, and the assassination attempt failed¡­ While there are Flying Heaven Warriors in the Seven Stars human civilization who are willing to trade with us, mostly it is limited to passing on information.¡±


    ¡°To kill Li Yuan? That¡¯s almost certain death, and they will certainly not take such a risk.¡±


    ¡°We can only wait, wait for Li Yuan to enter the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ I believe he will come, and at that point, we¡¯ll find a way to deal with him,¡± the figure in white clothes said, ¡°To take care of these alien geniuses, patience is required.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the figure in the purple robe nodded.


    In his mind, he thought, after all, you¡¯re the boss, you call the shots.

    ¡°Additionally,¡±


    ¡°transmit Li Yuan¡¯s information to the Cloud Beast Civilization, those fools¡­ might make a move.¡± the figure in white said.


    ¡°Understood, I will do it immediately.¡±


    ¡­


    The virtual battle ended.


    Li Yuan won the championship, Jin Huguo broke into the top ten¡­ These were historical moments for Kunlun Martial University, and the school naturally promoted them heavily, even holding a special commendation ceremony.


    ...


    But as time passed, Li Yuan¡¯s heart no longer surged with much emotion; he was more focused on his subsequent cultivation.


    He devoted himself to cultivating.


    Time swiftly moved to February 21, and the aftermath and heat of the virtual battle gradually faded.


    Two o¡¯clock in the afternoon.


    Li Yuan¡¯s villa welcomed two special guests.


    ¡°Dean Hai, Lord Yang of the Province,¡± Li Yuan said in surprise as he looked at the two who had suddenly visited.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors had come together.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is our first meeting, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lord Yang of the Province said with a hearty look, her voice gentle.


    She wasn¡¯t incredibly beautiful, but she had an extraordinary aura and appeared to be in her thirties.


    ¡°Indeed, this is the first time meeting the Hall Master in reality,¡± Li Yuan replied with a slight bow.


    Although it was his first time meeting Lord Yang of the Province, Li Yuan has long been grateful in his heart.


    At least, she had always valued him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Lord Yang of the Province is here on orders to see you specifically,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile from the side.


    ¡°On orders?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Lord Yang of the Province, already in charge of a province, wielding vast power¡­ whose orders could she be following?


    ¡°Yang Xian, you tell him,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°I won¡¯t interrupt you.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Dean Hai took a step, and with a flash, he had already flown out of Li Yuan¡¯s villa.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and Yang Xian sat on the couch.


    ¡°Lord Yang of the Province, what is this about?¡± Li Yuan asked, unable to hold back his confusion.


    ¡°I¡¯m here, first, to confirm your championship reward from the virtual battle,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°the cash reward of 20 billion has been transferred to your account.¡±


    Just seconds later.


    Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring vibrated, and looking down, he saw that his account had indeed received a message about the 20 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that I could choose equivalent Heavenly Materials Treasures?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Wait until I finish, and you will understand,¡± Yang Xian said, ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Secondly, on the command of the Star Master ¡®Dantai Lie¡¯,¡± Yang Xian continued with a serious expression, ¡°I am here to give you a congratulatory gift for winning the virtual battle championship.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Dantai Lie?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    In a moment, Li Yuan thought of Dantai Feng¡­ it was inevitable, the surname was too rare.


    However.


    Why would this Star Master give him a gift?


    ¡°Hall Master, does Star Master Dantai Lie have anything to do with Dantai Feng?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Dantai Feng is his descendant,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°After so many years¡­ this is the first time Star Master Dantai Lie has directly presented a gift to the virtual battle champion.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Dantai Lie must hold you in high esteem,¡± Yang Xian said.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan listened.


    A person who could become a Star Master was at least close to invincible within the Flying Heaven Realm, doubtlessly powerful.


    ¡°Here, this is the gift.¡± Yang Xian turned over her hand, and a silver sliver the size of a thumb appeared in her palm. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was very small!


    However, the surface of the sliver flickered with a mysterious light, and it seemed to have countless fine lines etched onto it.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled. He had no idea what it could be.


    ¡°Use your Spiritual Induction, you¡¯re a Flying Heaven Level soul, use your powerful perception¡­¡± Yang Xian said with a smile.


    When Yang Xian had approached Li Yuan earlier, she had already detected that he was a Flying Heaven Level soul.


    ¡°Spiritual Induction.¡± Li Yuan contemplated, and with a thought, an invisible fluctuation enveloped the silver sliver.


    Li Yuan quickly sensed that something was amiss.


    There were no anomalies from the appearance, but the deeper his spiritual perception went, it was as though a Spiritual Imprint was progressively forming on the silver sliver¡­ When Li Yuan¡¯s perception reached a certain level, nearly at a critical point,


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan suddenly realized that his vision changed, as from the silver sliver burst forth a dimension that seemed illusory yet incredibly real.


    ¡°A space artifact?¡±


    ¡°The legendary Storage Treasure?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was shocked, ¡°Star Master Dantai Lie, would actually send me such a precious gift?¡±

 Chapter 309 - 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)

    Chapter 309: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)


    Storage Magical Treasure, space bauble, Li Yuan had once seen some descriptions about them in the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s database.


    But there wasn¡¯t much mentioned, only one sentence ¡ª extremely precious! Very rare!


    This already involved the manipulation of space, far surpassing the current concept of technology.


    Naturally, exceedingly precious.


    At least, among the Martial Artists.


    Even among the top-grade Prime Warriors, Li Yuan had not heard of anyone possessing a space bauble, let alone seeing one himself.


    ...


    However, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t expected.


    That the mysterious Star Master ¡°Dantai Lie¡± would actually gift him a space bauble directly.


    ¡°Lord Yang of the Province, isn¡¯t this too valuable?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Indeed, it is valuable, and not every Flying Heaven Warrior has one,¡± said Yang Xian with a smile, ¡°But in truth, giving it to Prime Martial Artists, most of them won¡¯t be able to use it.¡±


    ¡°Unable to use it?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°This Storage Treasure, whether for recognizing a master, or for moving items in and out after doing so, the primary foundation is Divine Sense,¡± said Yang Xian with a smile, ¡°Previously, I was somewhat puzzled why Star Master Dantai Lie would send you this treasure¡­ Now I know, you already have a soul at the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Then it is not strange for the Star Master to send you this treasure,¡± Yang Xian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    It turned out that this kind of treasure could only be used by someone with a soul at the Flying Heaven Level.


    If there was no Divine Sense? Even with a treasure it wouldn¡¯t work.


    ¡°Lord Yang of the Province, how much is this Storage Treasure worth?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    He was somewhat curious!


    After all, according to Lord Yang of the Province¡­ even some Flying Heaven Warriors didn¡¯t have such a treasure.


    ¡°In your perception, how big is the inner space of this space bauble?¡± Lord Yang of the Province asked with a smile, not directly answering Li Yuan¡¯s question.


    ¡°How big?¡± Li Yuan sensed the silver sliver the size of a thumb in Yang Xian¡¯s hand.


    But he couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    ¡°You being able to sense it means you have recognized it as master, and you can manipulate it,¡± Yang Xian patiently explained, ¡°Just hold the Storage Treasure, bring it close to any item, and you can attempt to put it inside.¡±


    ¡°Remember, you can¡¯t put in life forms, only inanimate objects,¡± Yang Xian raised her hand, ¡°Here you go, the Star Master has given it to you, simply because he has taken a liking to you, not because he wants you to do something.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded, no longer hesitating.


    Just like Bai Shan Semi-Divine had given him the ¡°Earth Origin Crystal,¡± this Star Master Dantai Lie¡­ perhaps had a similar thought and intention.


    As soon as he reached out to receive it.


    Hum~


    The silver sliver flowed like water, instantly merging into Li Yuan¡¯s skin and disappearing from sight.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    ¡°Haha, I was the same as you when I first got a Storage Treasure,¡± Yang Xian revealed a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll get used to it. Concentrate and be calm, you can sense its presence¡­ It will move to any part of your body at your will.¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is,¡± Li Yuan, with his powerful spiritual power,


    quickly sensed the existence of the Storage Treasure.


    It seemed to be completely integrated into the body, able to move to any part of it.


    ¡°Why is this Storage Treasure made this way?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°How do you think it should be?¡± Yang Xian said with a smile.


    ¡°A ring? A belt? A bracelet?¡± Li Yuan shared his thoughts.


    ¡°Silly,¡± Yang Xian shook her head, ¡°No one is a fool. If you expose a Storage Treasure on the outside, and some super being sees it¡­ with their strong spiritual power, they can completely break through the impediment of your Spiritual Imprint and directly probe the contents of your Storage Treasure.¡±


    ¡°Hidden within the body, it¡¯s much more difficult for other powerful beings to probe. It increases the challenge at least tenfold,¡± Yang Xian explained with a smile, ¡°Even common people know not to carelessly take out their wallets; wouldn¡¯t super beings know this as well?¡±


    ¡°Storage Treasures are like the wallets of Martial Path experts; therefore, they are made to be very inconspicuous, at least not easily identified at a glance,¡± Yang Xian said.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    It made a lot of sense.


    ¡°The inner space.¡± Li Yuan thought, and his palm unconsciously touched the sofa below him.


    Whoosh!


    The sofa vanished into thin air, leaving Li Yuan and Yang Xian with nothing but air beneath them.


    The atmosphere in the living room instantly turned solemn.


    Luckily!


    Both were Martial Path experts, and they remained hovering in place. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°A mistake, definitely a mistake,¡± Li Yuan said with an awkward smile, and with a thought, the sofa returned beneath them.


    ¡°No harm done, it¡¯s normal to be somewhat unfamiliar with it the first time,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, with not a trace of displeasure on her face. ¡°But, the internal space of your Storage Treasure is that large? It can accommodate a sofa?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, ¡°The internal space¡­ is roughly 3 meters in length, approximately 2 meters in width, and about 1 meter in height.¡±


    It was a rectangular prism.


    About six cubic meters of space!


    ¡°Not bad, quite large,¡± Yang Xian remarked with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s already twice as large as the ¡®standard Storage Treasure¡¯ space of the warriors from the Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Standard Storage Treasure?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Xian laughed, ¡°Like in our Starfire Martial Hall, once a warrior achieves the Flying Heaven level, they can purchase a Storage Treasure measuring 3 meters long, about 1 meter in width and height, with uniform internal space, for a price of 10 billion Blue Star Coins in the Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°10 billion?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked; the price was much lower than he had imagined.


    ¡°You think the price is low?¡± Yang Xian seemed to smile with a knowing look.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°This is a privilege only for Flying Heaven Warriors at our Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Yang Xian explained with a smile, ¡°If you want to buy a second one of the same size from the Martial Hall, it costs 300 billion Blue Star Coins, and you can only purchase one more¡­ similar to the one you have.¡±


    ¡°Mmm, if you were to sell it, its value would absolutely exceed your expectations,¡± Yang Xian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan listened in surprise.


    A three-cubic-meter Storage Treasure, to buy one would really cost 300 billion Blue Star Coins? Even for the current Li Yuan, that was an incredibly astonishing fortune.

 Chapter 310 - 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_2

    Chapter 310: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_2


    A storage treasure with double the space? Its value is definitely more than double.


    But Li Yuan surely wouldn¡¯t sell it.


    He also understood what Yang Xian meant; such a storage treasure with vast space is extremely rare¡­ easy to sell, but hard to buy back later.


    Some treasures can¡¯t be measured in Blue Star Coins.


    Moreover,


    Holding such a storage treasure, at critical moments, it can play an incredibly astonishing role.


    ...


    For example¡ªthe Black Chen Spear.


    When not in combat, Li Yuan could completely hide the long spear within the storage treasure, then the enemy may think Li Yuan is unarmed¡­ pull it out at a crucial moment.


    It would definitely give the enemy a huge surprise.


    ¡­


    ¡°Storage treasure secured,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°The third matter is about the reward for your significant contribution in the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ The war in the Mingxu Star Realm is drawing to an end.¡±


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan immediately thought of Senior Liu Jing.


    He also understood the rewards Yang Xian mentioned¡ªas the first discoverer of the small source crystal mine.


    ¡°After comprehensive exploration and tallying, your merits have been finally calculated,¡± Yang Xian said, ¡°You have two options, the first is to receive 500 million Blue Star Coins annually for a total of 20 years, amounting to 10 billion Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°The second option is a one-time reward of 5 billion Blue Star Coins,¡± Yang Xian said.


    ¡°10 billion? 5 billion?¡± Li Yuan was surprised, was the value that high?


    He remembered that Liu Jing had mentioned that the base reward should be 1 billion Blue Star Coins.


    The difference was too great.


    ¡°Senior Liu Jing isn¡¯t reliable,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, but he was also quite pleased.


    This reward was indeed generous.


    After all, even if Li Yuan won the virtual combat championship, the reward was only 2 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Choose the 5 billion Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan said directly.


    ¡°Not the first option?¡± Yang Xian¡¯s face showed a hint of an inexplicable smile.


    ¡°20 years is too long,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Too much can happen in one night, let alone 20 years.


    Moreover, if he were still alive in 20 years, he would probably have already become a Flying Heaven Warrior, and wouldn¡¯t care about the 500 million Blue Star Coins annually¡­ on the other hand, the immediate 5 billion Blue Star Coins would be more helpful to his cultivation.


    ¡°Good,¡± Yang Xian didn¡¯t persuade him otherwise, as long as Li Yuan had thought it through, they would never try to persuade him.


    Individuals make their choices and bear the consequences themselves.


    Swiftly,


    Li Yuan received a reward of 5 billion Blue Star Coins, and since it was a national (Alliance) reward, like the 2 billion grand contest reward, it was tax-free.


    Thus,


    Li Yuan¡¯s bank account balance had soared to about 8.4 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright, the money has been transferred to you, and the storage treasure given,¡± Yang Xian continued, ¡°Next, is to deliver the third command, which also comes from the Feixing Headquarters.¡±


    ¡°Feixing Headquarters?¡± Li Yuan grew even more surprised.


    Starfire Martial Hall has headquarters on the Seven Great Planets, but the headquarters on planets like Earth and the other Six Great Planets are essentially ¡®Second Level Martial Halls¡¯, serving only as headquarters for their respective planets.


    Only the Feixing Headquarters is the highest headquarters of Starfire Martial Hall, and its founder ¡®Dongfang Ji¡¯ is the ¡®Hall Master¡¯ of Feixing Headquarters.


    ¡°In view of your excellent performance in the global college Martial Path contest, your ranking within the Martial Hall has been elevated to L9 level,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°L9 level is already the authority of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, and I am also at L9 authority level.¡±


    ¡°L9 level? Flying Heaven Level authority!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, this was good stuff.


    Apart from anything else, S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just the ¡®database¡¯ that had greatly expanded in content due to the upgrade in authority was a significant aid.


    ¡°Wait a moment, confirm the contract agreement in the ¡®Starfire Space,¡¯ and you will be directly upgraded.¡±


    ¡°Your Starfire Space will also be directly upgraded,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°Now I will introduce to you the two most important things at Flying Heaven Level authority¡ªthe Starfire Treasury! The Starfire Auction!¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan listened attentively.


    Time passed.


    After Yang Xian¡¯s detailed introduction for about 30 minutes,


    Li Yuan finally had a more complete understanding of the Flying Heaven Level authority he now possessed.


    ¡­


    Standing up,


    Li Yuan saw Yang Xian out of the villa, to the lawn outside.


    ¡°Alright, no need to see me out,¡±


    Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan, after the Blue Star competition virtual battle, your name is known across Blue Star, and countless Flying Heaven Warriors are watching you¡­ both the high-level officials of Xia Country and the Martial Hall expect a lot from your growth.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t disappoint these expectations.¡±


    ¡°Although you now report directly to Hall Master Fang Hai, if there¡¯s anything in the Jiangbei region, just send a message to me,¡± Yang Xian said with a laugh, ¡°I may not be able to help you much with cultivation, but I can easily handle some minor matters.¡±


    As an L9 member, Li Yuan¡¯s authority had significantly increased, and he had also left the Starfire Jiangbei division¡¯s ranking¡­ directly under the jurisdiction of Blue Star¡¯s Hall Master Fang Hai.


    For whatever matter, he could directly reach out to Fang Hai.


    ¡°Sure, if I need to, I will definitely tell you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan understood Yang Xian¡¯s meaning.


    Now, although his own strength had not yet reached the Flying Heaven level¡­ within Starfire Martial Hall, the Seven Star Alliance, his status was already comparable to many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    In the face of someone like Yang Xian, a Hall Master of a provincial division, he couldn¡¯t assert dominance over Li Yuan.


    In some sense,


    Li Yuan could already treat many Flying Heaven Warriors as equals.


    Of course, while his nominal status was comparable, Li Yuan would still involuntarily adopt a lower profile¡­ strength is the real confidence.


    Watching Yang Xian depart,


    ¡°When I have the strength of Yu Jinghe, I¡¯ll truly be able to talk and laugh freely with these Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°For now, better keep a low profile.¡±


    ¡­


    In the high sky,


    ¡°You¡¯re going to see the Principal?¡± Dean Hai paused.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Xian revealed a smile, ¡°It¡¯s not easy to come to Kunlun Martial University, so naturally, I should go see the Hall Master.¡±

 Chapter 311 - 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_3

    Chapter 311: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_3


    Yang Xian had something she didn¡¯t say.


    This time, she wasn¡¯t the one originally supposed to deliver the treasure; Dantai Lie, the Demigod, had other arrangements¡­ It was she who fought for the opportunity. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the one hand, she wanted to deepen her relationship with Li Yuan.


    On the other hand, it was also an excuse to see Fang Hai¡­ In Blue Star¡¯s Third Level Martial Halls, there were over a hundred Hall Masters, and the number of Flying Heaven Warriors without the rank of Third Rank Hall Master was more than ten times that¡­ There were many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, even though their number might seem not small, scattered across the globe and various Star Realms, each Flying Heaven Warrior still held tremendous authority.


    But!


    ...


    There was only one Hall Master for Blue Star¡¯s main hall, and all Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star had to obey the commands of the Hall Master.


    Therefore, the chance to show one¡¯s face in front of Fang Hai was very important.


    ¡°Alright, go ahead,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh, clearly understanding Yang Xian¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡­


    After seeing off Yang Xian,


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t hesitate and quickly returned to the underground Martial Arts Room, entering the resting area.


    He logged into the virtual network, within Starfire Space.


    ¡°Master.¡± the fairy-like girl said excitedly, ¡°Master, there¡¯s a new agreement that has arrived. Once signed, you will be able to upgrade to Martial Hall L9 level.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, bring me the agreement,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Whoosh~


    The holographic projection condensed and appeared in front of Li Yuan, who immediately began to review it rapidly.


    Most of the content was similar to previous agreements.


    The most core parts were three!


    The first, as an L9 member, the Martial Hall would grant an annual subsidy of 100 million Blue Star Coins.


    The second, the right to access the ¡®Starfire Treasury¡¯ and the right to participate in the ¡®Starfire Blue Star Auction.¡¯


    The third, once summoned by the Martial Hall or Alliance, unconditional obedience to the orders is mandatory!


    ¡°Three clauses, two benefits, one obligation?¡± Li Yuan mused silently.


    The greater the privilege one enjoys, the greater the responsibility one bears.


    Flying Heaven Warriors were the backbone of human civilization, vital in the stationed forces in Second Level Star Realms and the battles waged in Third Level Star Realms¡­ they were the absolute main forces.


    The Seven Stars human civilization¡¯s ability to proliferate to this day, safely and continuously growing, aside from those at the very top, the Demigods¡­ the vast number of Flying Heaven Warriors could not be underestimated.


    After all, no matter how strong the Demigods were, they couldn¡¯t protect every entrance to the Star Realms, nor could they cover every corner of Blue Star.


    Nor could they retrieve a large number of treasures from various Star Realms.


    ¡°An annual subsidy of 100 million Blue Star Coins isn¡¯t much,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    It was very little for a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°The key is the second clause, the Starfire Treasury, the Starfire Blue Star Auction,¡± Li Yuan said to himself.


    Without much hesitation,


    Li Yuan completed the electronic signing, and quickly, the Starfire Space he was in began to change.


    The entire space became more luxurious, and many new features appeared, such as contacting the Hall Master, connecting with Flying Heaven Warriors globally, a brand-new database, Starfire Treasury, and so on.


    With the upgraded privileges, there was an earth-shattering change.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, I want to view the Starfire Treasury,¡± Li Yuan said directly.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Xiao Yu replied.


    Hum~ The light converged, forming a large, flowing-light-emitting holographic screen, on which dense text descriptions and videos appeared,


    As well as specific categories.


    ¡°So many treasures,¡± Li Yuan gasped.


    There were many categories, such as Origin Power Weapons, Star Techniques, Secret Manuals, spirit strengthening, body strengthening, Comprehension enhancement, recovery categories,¡­


    Each major category was further divided into many subcategories.


    For example, Star Techniques were divided into First Layer Star Technique, Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique¡­ Ninefold Star Technique.


    For example, Origin Power Weapons were divided into Fourth Rank, Third Rank Fine, Third Rank Medium, Third Rank Inferior, Second Rank Fine, and so on.


    The divisions were very detailed.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s the treasury that Senior Yang Xian mentioned,¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed, also feeling slightly shocked.


    Li Yuan began to check each one.


    Soon, Li Yuan found several treasures he wanted.


    ¡°Origin Purple Longevity Pill, Second Level, 50 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 999 (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, Third Rank, 20 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 2 (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, Third Rank, 30 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 0 (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Storage Treasure, Third Rank (3 cubic meters), 10 billion Blue Star Coins, limited to purchasing one piece (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Storage Treasure, Third Rank (3 cubic meters), 300 billion Blue Star Coins, limited to purchasing one piece (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan continued to check other treasures.


    He gradually understood that the Starfire Treasury listed a large number of treasures, like Second Rank treasures, which were basically in unlimited supply.


    Third Rank treasures? Most had very limited quantities, or were out of stock.


    Following that,


    Li Yuan once again opened the ¡®Star Techniques¡¯ category and discovered that learning those below Third Layer Star Technique was basically free¡­ Starting from Fourth Layer Star Technique, there was a fee, and the prices were extremely high.


    ¡°¡±Blood Shadow Incarnation¡±, Fourth Layer Star Technique (up to Third Layer), learning requires 100 billion Blue Star Coins (no contribution required, note: please try the free introductory part first, if you cannot master the introduction, do not purchase the full content.)¡±


    ¡°¡±True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡±, Unknown Star Technique (first two layers), learning requires 200 billion Blue Star Coins (no need¡­)¡±


    ¡°¡±Myriad Gold Divine Body¡±, Seventh Layer Star Technique, insufficient authority, please apply.¡±


    ¡­


    A vast array of Star Techniques.


    Looking around, the holographic screen was densely packed with thousands of Star Techniques.


    The majority were First to Third Layer Star Techniques, and those above Fourth Layer accounted for only one-tenth.


    ¡°With my authority, I can learn up to Sixth Layer Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Seventh Layer Star Technique? I must apply to higher levels to have a chance to learn it.¡±

 Chapter 312 - 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_4

    Chapter 312: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_4


    As for the Eighth Layer Star Technique, Ninefold Star Technique?


    According to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Dean Hai, there are indeed a few incomplete ones within the Seven Stars human civilization. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But Li Yuan couldn¡¯t access them.


    ¡°It must be that my authority is insufficient; these high-level Star Techniques are all secret,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    It made sense, after all.


    Even if the Ninefold Star Technique couldn¡¯t be cultivated, even if it was incomplete, it was still a ¡®Supreme Star Technique¡¯, the foundation of a civilization¡­ it couldn¡¯t be easily disseminated.


    ...


    ¡°The channel through which a Flying Heaven Warrior purchases treasures indeed far surpasses that of a Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    Take Li Yang, for example, he was doing pretty well among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists, but purchasing a Third Rank treasure was not easy for him either¡­ he had to rely on all kinds of connections.


    But for Flying Heaven Warriors, as long as they wait in the Starfire Treasury, as soon as a treasure is available, they can immediately take it¡­ it¡¯s much easier.


    The difference in strength leads to a difference in status, and naturally a difference in perspective.


    ¡°To learn Star Techniques, Secret Manuals, and other non-physical items, one simply needs enough money to study them directly,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°But purchasing Heavenly Materials Treasures? That requires contribution balance.¡±


    What is contribution balance?


    A Flying Heaven Level authority, in the Martial Hall¡¯s ¡®Starfire Treasury¡¯, can buy a large number of treasures, but obviously not in unlimited quantities.


    There¡¯s a limit to everything.


    Every person will receive ¡¯10 billion Blue Star Coin contribution balance¡¯ granted for free by the Martial Hall.


    This represents the ability to purchase treasures worth a total of 10 billion; once the contribution balance is spent, then no matter how rich one is, they cannot buy anything.


    Of course, there¡¯s another way ¡ª contribution!


    For example, contributing a 10 billion worth of treasures to the Martial Hall, apart from receiving 9.5 billion Blue Star Coins, one would also receive a contribution quota of 9.5 billion.


    ¡°For a treasure worth 10 billion, the Martial Hall takes a cut of 500 million,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The Starfire Treasury is essentially a huge intermediary platform, where the Martial Hall¡¯s many Flying Heaven Warriors traverse the Star Realm, sell their acquired treasures to the treasury, and then buy what they need from the treasury¡­ creating a positive cycle, allowing the treasury to keep operating in a cycle.¡±


    This requires tremendous control, as well as having all the Martial Artists believe in the system.


    And the 5% taken is one of the sources of operational funds for the entire Martial Hall.


    Such as the cultivation of talents, which requires a large amount of money.


    Of course.


    Even so, there are still many rare treasures that are in high demand but low supply, and there are many powerful individuals with plenty of money but no contribution balance.


    Hence, there are auctions.


    Every year.


    The Starfire Martial Hall will hold an auction on Blue Star, auctioning a large number of rare treasures¡­ those with Flying Heaven Level authority can participate.


    ¡°The next auction, in December every year?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Ten months from now?¡±


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned.


    He was well aware that although he had obtained Flying Heaven Level authority and had more than eighty billion Blue Star Coins¡­ which seemed like a lot, it was nothing compared to the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Moreover.


    ¡°I¡¯m only at Level 19 right now, most treasures are not of much significance to me,¡± Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    It¡¯s not that they are useless.


    It¡¯s that the cost-effectiveness is too low.


    ¡°What¡¯s truly effective for me here are these Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile, ¡°Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique, all free to learn?¡±


    Of course, there¡¯s also a limit, up to 20 techniques.


    After all, even among Flying Heaven Warriors, it¡¯s common to only cultivate two or three Star Techniques.


    ¡­


    After perusing the Starfire Treasury and looking at the ¡®cultivation suggestions¡¯ sent by the Starfire Martial Hall,


    and checking the large amount of new data in the database,


    Li Yuan had a vague idea of his own cultivation path going forward.


    At that time.


    Dean Hai arrived.


    ¡°Dean,¡± Li Yuan immediately invited the visitor into the living room, and they sat down.


    Pouring tea for his guest.


    ¡°You should have looked through the Starfire Treasury and also seen the cultivation suggestion letter the Starfire Martial Hall sent you,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen both,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°There are six months until you go to Feixing,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°You don¡¯t need to participate in the Blue Star combat competition in June anymore, so what are you thinking now?¡±


    ¡°First, become a Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan said after a moment¡¯s thought, ¡°Then go to the Second Level Star Realm to explore.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just, I haven¡¯t decided exactly which Star Realm to go to yet.¡±


    Going to the Star Realm is a must.


    Simply being short of reaching a 40% Spiritual Awakening Level is already a reason enough for Li Yuan to make the trip.

 Chapter 313 - 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Extra 27)

    Chapter 313: Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Extra 27)


    ¡°After becoming a Prime Warrior, to venture into the Second Level Star Realm?¡± Dean Hai nodded slightly, ¡°There is something I need to remind you of.¡±


    ¡°Please speak, Dean,¡± Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°This time, to lure out the lurking alien Flying Heaven level, the principal and others have put you at the forefront of the storm,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Although in the end you killed the alien Flying Heaven level¡­ you must understand, the alien forces watching you are not only from one faction.¡±


    ¡°The strongest two alien forces that are enemies of our Blue Star are the Tianliang Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Like the black dragon I killed before, it actually belonged to the Cloud Beast Civilization,¡± said Dean Hai.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan was surprised; this was the first time he had heard this.


    ...


    He knew quite a bit about the Tianliang Clan.


    But the Cloud Beast Civilization? He had never come into contact with it before.


    ¡°When you cultivate within the school, with the Principal¡¯s deterrence and many Flying Heaven Warriors around, the probability of alien assassination attempts on you is very small, as everyone cherishes their lives,¡± said Dean Hai, ¡°But there will definitely be people always monitoring you.¡±


    ¡°Always tracking your movements.¡±


    ¡°Once you leave the school, various alien forces will certainly crazily track you,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°In our civilization, there are many traitors and scoundrels who dare not attack you directly¡­ but many would dare to leak your whereabouts.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart.


    Indeed, if they were real aliens, under his Divine Palace¡¯s inquiry, they would mostly reveal themselves.


    What he should be most vigilant about are the traitors.


    Because you never know who the internal spy is, perhaps some inconspicuous First Rank Warriors or Prime Warriors.


    Even some high-ranking Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, or Flying Heaven Warriors, may trade with aliens in secret for personal gain or for some treasures.


    This is unavoidable.


    ¡°What do you mean, Dean?¡± asked Li Yuan.


    ¡°My personal suggestion is that from now until July, you engage in concealed cultivation within the school, then head directly to Feixing,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°With your comprehension, your strength will also progress swiftly.¡±


    ¡°With the rate of your progress, perhaps by July, your Spear Technique could even step into the Fifth Stage High Rank.¡±


    ¡°After you receive the complete Martial God Inheritance, your strength will transform even further.¡±


    ¡°The Martial God Inheritance is one of the greatest secrets of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°You are still young; there¡¯s no need to hurry. Wait until you return from Feixing with the Martial God Inheritance, and your Physical Quality reaches High Rank Prime Warrior level¡­ Then it will not be too late to go risk life and death in the Second Level Star Realm,¡± said Dean Hai solemnly.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    To cultivate step by step until he became a high-level Prime Warrior? How long would that take?


    But Li Yuan could sense the change in Dean Hai¡¯s attitude.


    Before, Dean Hai was very encouraging of him going to face life and death challenges, but now he was advising against it¡­ which was enough to show the hidden risks.


    ¡°Dean, I will carefully consider it,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Even if I decide to venture out, it won¡¯t be until I¡¯ve become a Prime Warrior, at least a good half-month later.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just giving you a suggestion; what you decide to do is still up to you,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°If you really decide to venture into the Star Realm, remember to contact me in advance after choosing a Star Realm, and I will help you analyze the pros and cons.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, I will arrange to hide your tracks in advance.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± said Li Yuan, feeling Dean Hai¡¯s deep concern.


    ¡­


    After seeing off Dean Hai.


    Li Yuan returned to the underground Martial Arts Room and fell into deep thought.


    ¡°There¡¯s really no need for me to participate in the practical combat competition in June,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The purpose of the global martial arts competition held by the alliance¡¯s higher-ups.


    Is to select the very top geniuses of each session.


    Like in the Blue Star competition¡¯s virtual battle and practical combat, the top three directly get the Martial God Inheritance slots.


    Therefore, as usual, those who break into the top three in the virtual battles typically won¡¯t participate in the practical combat afterward.


    The same goes.


    Once someone breaks into the top three in either the virtual battle or practical combat in one of the Blue Star competitions, they usually won¡¯t participate in the following session.


    ¡°Dean Hai¡¯s suggestion for me to keep cultivating in seclusion isn¡¯t wrong; in some sense, it is very correct,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Right now, indeed, there is no need for me to take great risks or venture out too recklessly.¡±


    Life-and-death adventuring is to temper oneself.


    But there is a bottom line in this; venturing into the Star Realm is for tempering, not simply courting death.


    If the risk of falling is too great, and the benefits not sufficient, then it is best to give up.


    ¡°But with a 40% Spiritual Awakening Level, should I wait until after returning from Feixing?¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    That would be waiting too long.


    Once the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 40%, to carry out the fourth Origin Power infusion.


    By Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, that would save him several months or even longer on his Origin Power cultivation time.


    The cultivation of Physical Quality and Life Level for Prime Warriors takes much longer compared to First Rank Warriors.


    ¡°A significant increase in Physical Quality would further nurture the soul,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°It would also make the vitality within my Life Star stronger¡­ whether in cultivating Star Techniques or awakening more Star Meridians, it¡¯s very beneficial.¡±


    ¡°With a strengthened foundation, it¡¯s an all-around improvement, so when I go to Feixing, my advantages will be even greater,¡± Li Yuan also harbored ambitions within his heart.


    One step ahead, all steps ahead.


    Li Yuan had a simple thought; he had spoken to Star Lord Bai Shan and others before¡­ after reaching Feixing, the Martial God Inheritance slots also varied in rank.


    Upon arriving at Feixing, he would not only be facing the geniuses of Blue Star but also those from the other Six Great Planets.


    Geniuses gather.


    He must become stronger, to quickly strive for a First Rank Martial God Inheritance slot.


    And perhaps even a Special Rank Martial God Inheritance slot.


    ¡°Secondly, once the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches the 40% limit, there may be a chance to push the limit to 50%,¡± Li Yuan silently pondered. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Chapter 314: Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional Chapter 27)_2


    If the level of Spiritual Awakening reaches 50%, it¡¯s not just about Origin Power entering the body, but also unlocking the second Spiritual Guidance.


    This is crucial.


    ¡°Still, I must go,¡±


    Li Yuan made a decision, ¡°But there¡¯s no need to make a spectacle of it, nor is there a need to stay too long in the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡­


    Having made up his mind, Li Yuan didn¡¯t hesitate any further and restarted his cultivation for the day.


    ...


    ¡°For the next period of time.¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll focus on cultivating ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯ and ¡®All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡¯ to fully enhance my Physical Quality,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Next, is to continue honing my skills.¡±


    ¡°Third, I must not slack off for a moment. As long as my spiritual power recovers and my body can bear it, I shall continue to strive for awakening the Life Star.¡±


    ¡°Strive to awaken more Star Meridians as soon as possible.¡±


    The Star Meridians are critical, arguably the most important foundation on the path of Martial Arts Cultivation.


    They are the key to how far one can go in the future.


    ¡°Once I become a Prime Warrior, I¡¯ll immediately apply for life and death challenges,¡± Li Yuan planned his next steps, ¡°I¡¯ll set off quietly, elevate my level of Spiritual Awakening to 40% by defeating enemies in the Star Realm to accomplish Origin Power entering my body, then return to school immediately.¡±


    By Li Yuan¡¯s estimate, this whole process might take just a few days to a fortnight.


    If he concealed it well, perhaps even the Alien Race wouldn¡¯t know he had left Kunlun Martial University.


    Planning is important.


    Only by thinking through and following a plan can one move faster and more steadily.


    ¡°In fact, the most important treasure for me right now should be the Earth Origin Crystal,¡±


    ¡°If I can completely cultivate the first two stages of the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯, perhaps, my compatibility with the Earth Vein will reach an astonishing level,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°However, at the very least, after¡­ becoming a Prime Warrior and spending three to five months, I can then report this matter back to the principal.¡±


    The secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace must not be revealed.


    ¡­


    Time flew by, and day by day, the storm of the virtual competition aftermath of the Blue Star competition completely dissipated.


    With each round of promotions, Li Yuan¡¯s V-blog fans reached an astonishing eighty million. However¡­ since Li Yuan never posted any updates,


    coupled with the gradual dispersal of the various promotions by the Starfire Martial Hall, this number of fans has essentially reached its limit for the short term.


    Nevertheless,


    these disturbances didn¡¯t affect Li Yuan, as he was wholeheartedly immersed in his cultivation.


    Every day, he began with Visualization Method and basic Origin Power Technique training from the early morning.


    Every two or three days, he would attempt ¡®Law Creation¡¯ to try and awaken more Life Stars.


    The rest of his nearly all time was spent on Spear Technique cultivation.


    ¡­


    In a huge Martial Arts Room, over a hundred meters long and wide, a specially designed room by Kunlun Martial University.


    Li Yuan, dressed in a specially made Origin Power Battle Suit and wielding a Long Spear.


    Not far from him, was Li Yang holding a Combat Saber, looking at him with a chuckling smile.


    ¡°Teacher, let¡¯s start today¡¯s actual combat training,¡± Li Yuan said seriously.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Just like yesterday, I will suppress my strength and speed to Level 19. You try to feel the changes in my Sword Technique,¡± Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    Boom! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yang moved in an instant; with one step forward, his aura became terrifyingly powerful, like a mountain barreling towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s form moved, and like a stream of light or lightning, he charged towards Li Yang. His Long Spear, like a dragon, accompanied by a piercing whoosh, instantly unleashed a sky-covering barrage of Spear Light.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡±


    Layers of dazzling saber brilliance bloomed, easily blocking the spear shadows thrown by Li Yuan. The weapons collided fiercely, and the terrifying impact made it impossible for Li Yuan to completely deflect it even when executing the True Intent Killing Move ¡®Star River Spiral¡¯.


    He had to keep retreating.


    In contrast, Li Yang¡¯s Sword Technique, although each strike seemed not strong, was continuous and explosively powerful, relentlessly pressuring Li Yuan.


    Every strike subtly channeled the power of heaven and earth, with incredible might!


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Annihilation,¡± Li Yang¡¯s Combat Saber suddenly changed its course, the blade¡¯s light striking atop the Spear Light, as if targeting the vital points of Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique, causing his Spear Momentum to falter in an instant.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More blades of light cleaved down, making it impossible for Li Yuan to withstand the assault any longer. His Spear Momentum completely collapsed, and his body was hurled backward, retreating dozens of meters before stopping.


    With the protection of the Origin Power Battle Suit, he wasn¡¯t injured.


    Li Yang also came to a stop with the flow of his movements.


    ¡°Very good.¡±


    ¡°Your progress is indeed fast. When the great competition ended, and during our first actual combat training, you could barely withstand more than ten strikes from me even with your True Intent Killing Move,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°But now you can withstand more than thirty strikes.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s because my physical quality has improved,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°And since you suppressed your strength and speed, if we had the same physical quality, I would only lose faster.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? I am a Fifth Stage High Rank in skills, and how long have you just stepped into the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Improvement in skill is still improvement, no need to be modest.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Indeed,


    it had been over ten days since the Blue Star competition ended, and his dedicated cultivation had indeed brought about rapid progress.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.9 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 68,800 kilograms


    Speed: 113.2 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 30.5


    Willpower: Level 32


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 37.9% (Current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: Level 11 (Cultivation efficiency 10+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 41%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 41%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ (First Stage Level 6:6)


    ¡­


    Over these ten days,


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality and skill level had improved greatly, especially since his skills had already crossed 5 stages at 40%.


    At this rate of progress, in a few months, Li Yuan would be able to reach Fifth Stage 59%.

 Chapter 315 - 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional 27)_3

    Chapter 315: Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional Chapter 27)_3


    ¡°Li Yuan, your physical quality should have reached 19.9,¡± Li Yang asked, ¡°You¡¯re getting closer and closer to becoming a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°It is indeed very close,¡± Li Yuan nodded, ¡°Now, even in a Unity of Heaven and Man state, I can faintly feel a trickle of Origin Power entering my body¡­ My body is very active.¡±


    This was an explanation that Li Yuan had prepared earlier.


    He needed to gradually reveal his talent in regards to Star Meridians.


    ¡°Oh? You can sense it now? Good! Good! Good!¡± Li Yang indeed showed happiness, ¡°Then try sensing the ¡®Life Star space¡¯; perhaps you can awaken your Life Star a bit earlier.¡±


    ¡°Haha, being able to start autonomously absorbing traces of Origin Power at level 19.9, your Star Meridian talent must be very high,¡± Li Yang said excitedly.


    ...


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll try as much as possible,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡­


    Back in his own villa.


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve reached Life Level 19.9, my Fist Strength and speed still fall short of the true First Order Limit,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having the Divine Palace panel allowed Li Yuan to be very clear about what stage he was at.


    ¡°Another week or so.¡±


    ¡°Once my Fist Strength exceeds 70,000 kilograms, I will try to activate the Star Meridian and achieve the status of Prime Warrior in one go,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    There were two paths to becoming a Prime Warrior.


    One, if you have a High Rank Cultivation Method that fits you, then after meeting all the requirements, you could follow the guidance of the Cultivation Method¡­ Try to operate the three sensed Star Meridians that fit, prompting the body to rapidly complete the Transformation and become a Prime Warrior.


    The other path was for Martial Artists without a High Rank Cultivation Method.


    In that case, as long as their physical quality reached 19.9, they could continue to improve their physique¡­ until they fully activated Origin Power even if they initially failed to do so.


    Typically, the minimum Fist Strength required for one¡¯s physique is 70,000 kilograms, and it could go up to about 80,000 kilograms. Even those Martial Artists without a Cultivation Method could sense the traces of wandering Origin Power in the world and begin to absorb it for themselves.


    ¡­


    One day later, late at night, Li Yuan tried to awaken his Life Star as usual.


    Quite abruptly.


    ¡°Hum~¡± An invisible fluctuation swept by, followed by a faint tremble of Li Yuan¡¯s body, and then countless points of light converged into a thread-like stream that passed over Li Yuan¡¯s body, circulating all around him.


    ¡°Finally.¡±


    ¡°Another Star Meridian has awakened,¡± Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile.


    At that moment, the three Star Meridians, reflecting each other, made Li Yuan¡¯s aura quite exceptional.


    ¡°First Layer Star Vein, the cultivation efficiency increase is indeed just 0.5,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel and muttered to himself.


    But his heart was filled with immense joy.


    Awakening three Star Meridians, although two of them were still just First Layer Star Veins.


    But an important barrier on the road to becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior had been unknowingly breached by Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    In the distant Feixing.


    Inside an enormously grand city that itself seemed like a piece of crimson flame.


    Above the city, an immense flying craft hovered, marked with a striking ¡®flame¡¯ emblem.


    If some of Feixing¡¯s powerhouses saw this emblem, they would recognize it at a glance¡ªBlazing Flame Family.


    This was a great family with an illustrious reputation within Feixing¡¯s upper echelons, and this city was almost their fiefdom.


    In a twelve-story building, in the top-floor office.


    ¡°Many people died?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible! The sixteen people from the Blazing Flame Family are among the best in the First Rank,¡± the young man in a blue Martial Path outfit said in shock, immediately becoming anxious, ¡°How is my little sister?¡±


    ¡°Second brother, stay calm.¡±


    ¡°According to the messages sent back, a large Origin Crystal vein was born in the World within Worlds, the source of a major battle,¡± the man in the black robe spoke somberly, ¡°At the core of the vein, there is likely to contain ¡®Earth Origin Crystal¡¯ and ¡®Fire Divine Crystal¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Based on the token¡¯s sensing, little sister is still alive, but we¡¯ve temporarily lost contact with her,¡± he continued.

    ¡°Lost contact?¡±


    The young man in the blue Martial Path uniform¡¯s face changed, ¡°Little sister is the most important of their group, definitely equipped with the best communication device, how could she lose contact?¡±


    ¡°No, this won¡¯t do.¡±


    ¡°I must find mother,¡± the young man in the blue Martial Path uniform turned and was about to leave.


    ¡°Second brother, calm down,¡± the young man in the black robe shouted angrily, ¡°The affairs of World within Worlds contain the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s biggest secrets, can they be inquired by you and me? Even Dad shouldn¡¯t interfere, don¡¯t forget, our surname is Lin, not Flame.¡±


    ¡°By all rights, we should know nothing about World within Worlds.¡±


    ...


    The young man in the blue Martial Path uniform fell silent.


    That¡¯s right!


    Although the blood of the Blazing Flame Family flowed in their veins, they were only peripheral members; they didn¡¯t even qualify to enter World within Worlds¡­ Only their sister, who could cultivate the ¡°Nirvana Divine Scripture,¡± could become the core member of the Blazing Flame Family despite her foreign surname.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s journey to World within Worlds was a secret and not disclosed to them.


    They had learned of it through their own secret channels¡­ The inheritance of the Blazing Flame Family had been decaying for over a hundred years, and with generations attempting to break through to World within Worlds, that naturally led to many leaks.


    ¡°Big brother, what should we do?¡± the young man in the blue Martial Path uniform clenched his teeth, ¡°Just wait around?¡±


    ¡°Inform Dad of the details. He is a Flying Heaven Warrior and also a Six-Star Councilor of the alliance; naturally, he will figure out a way,¡± murmured the young man in the black robe.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send the message right away.¡±

    As Lin Lanyue¡¯s two older brothers were discussing, in that super-large aircraft hovering above the city,


    In one of its meeting rooms, a group of powerful beings was arguing non-stop.


    ¡°World within Worlds has always been located in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, extremely hidden, with only one entrance and exit controlled by us.¡±


    ¡°How could the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s ¡®Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯ have discovered it? And how did they open an entrance and exit that we were unaware of, without us noticing?¡±


    ¡°Too strange!¡±


    ¡°I suspect someone has leaked the true secret of World within Worlds; we must investigate, thoroughly,¡± one existence after another spoke up.


    As one of the strongest ¡®high-order Spiritual Nature families¡¯ within the Seven Stars human civilization, they were the highest echelon of the Blazing Flame Family.


    Everyone participating in this meeting was at the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Silence.¡±


    A cold voice rang out, ¡°We naturally need to investigate the leak, but right now, the most urgent matter is rescue.¡±


    The speaker was a middle-aged man in a black robe adorned with a pattern of a flame divine bird.


    ¡°Right now, sixteen young ones have entered World within Worlds, fourteen of them are already dead, with only two still alive, but they too have lost contact,¡± said the middle-aged man in the black robe, ¡°Among them, Lanyue had already lost contact before the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s attack.¡±


    ¡°What? Lost contact before the attack?¡±


    ¡°Could it be?¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°How were we not aware?¡± The Flying Heaven Warriors present were shocked, setting aside their dispute.


    Most of them had entered World within Worlds before and naturally understood what this implied.


    ¡°Must be rescued.¡±


    ¡°We must rescue Lin Lanyue.¡±


    ¡°To rescue someone, we must delve deep into World within Worlds,¡± another old man in casual clothing spoke up gravely, ¡°but the Fierce Feather Star Realm is a Second Level Star Realm¡­ World within Worlds has even sturdier barriers¡­ Leaving is no concern, but entry requires one to be a First Rank lifeform.¡±


    ¡°And preferably, the top-tier ones who can almost reach Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°After all, according to the messages those young ones sent before their deaths, they encountered Prime Warriors of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who seemed to have broken through immediately after sneaking into World within Worlds,¡± said the old man in casual clothing.


    All the Flying Heaven Warriors listened intently, their expressions changing.


    Prime Warriors?


    The meeting was called abruptly; most of them were still not fully briefed on the details.


    ¡°The situation is dangerous,¡± the middle-aged man in the black robe said slowly, ¡°Reliant on just our family, we simply cannot dispatch so many First Rank Martial Artists on the verge of breaking through¡­ let alone truly formidable geniuses.¡±


    ¡°I propose we report the matter to the alliance and request their assistance,¡± the middle-aged man in the black robe offered his opinion.


    ¡°No way.¡±


    ¡°Patriarch, absolutely not, wouldn¡¯t this publicize the secrets of World within Worlds?¡±


    ¡°Not acceptable.¡± Immediately, several Flying Heaven Warriors voiced their objections, but many more remained silent, contemplating the Patriarch¡¯s suggestion.


    ¡°You several, shut up,¡± the old man in casual clothing frowned, ¡°If this was the past and something major happened inside World within Worlds, we would rather lose a bunch of lives than reveal the secret.¡±


    ¡°But what about now?¡±


    ¡°People from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have already infiltrated.¡±


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization is the most terrifying civilization we know of¡­ The overall strengths displayed by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom are at least on par with our entire Seven Stars human civilization, if not stronger¡­ How can we resist with just our family?¡± the old man in casual clothing said coldly.


    ¡°Time is not on our side.¡±


    ¡°Even if we reveal the secrets of World within Worlds to the alliance, as long as we can retake World within Worlds, at most other geniuses will be arranged by the alliance to enter, but we will still hold the majority,¡± he continued.


    ¡°However, if we give the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom some time, once they ascertain the true secret of World within Worlds, they will definitely invest massive resources and fortify it beyond penetration. By then, even if the alliance contributes resources, both manpower and materials, it will be difficult to retake it, and we will get nothing. Our family will also fall into complete decline,¡± the old man in casual clothing shouted angrily.


    The meeting room fell silent.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s vote,¡± the young man in the black robe said slowly, ¡°Whether to agree with the Great Elder¡¯s proposal.¡±


    ¡°Agree!¡±


    ¡°Abstain.¡±


    ¡°Abstain.¡±


    ¡°Agree.¡±


    ¡°Agree¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Nineteen votes agree, six abstain, with nine elders not attending the meeting; the total number of agree votes is more than half, and the number opposing is less than one-third,¡± the middle-aged man in the black robe declared, ¡°The resolution passes.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°I¡¯ll be responsible for contacting Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Elder Yan Chan, your husband ¡®Lin Yue¡¯ is a Six-Star Councilor and a part of the higher echelons of the Starry Sky Martial Hall. Since Lin Lanyue is your daughter¡­ it falls to you to make contact with the Starry Sky side,¡± said the man in the black robe.


    ¡°Alright.¡± In a corner of the meeting room, a woman in purple who had been silent gave a light nod.


    ¡°Great Elder, you¡¯ll be responsible for making contact with the Black Stone Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± The elder in casual wear nodded.


    ...


    ¡°The rest of the elders, please also immediately use your networks at full capacity and see if you can gather a group of First Order Limit Martial Artists who are close to a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°Whether the century-old foundation of my Blazing Flame Clan can be preserved all depends on this move.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± more than twenty Flying Heaven Warriors said in unison, knowing the importance of the matter at hand.


    Perhaps some elders had different opinions or thoughts.


    But once the family meeting made a decision, they would naturally work together wholeheartedly.


    ¡­


    March 2nd.


    At Blue Star¡¯s Kunlun Martial University, a little after one in the afternoon.


    On the grass outside Li Yuan¡¯s villa, the essence of spring was vibrant and beautiful, and the sun in the sky didn¡¯t feel too scorching.


    ¡°Teacher, take a look,¡± Li Yuan said as he held the Black Chen Spear, ¡°The ¡®Galaxy Spiral¡¯ True Intent Ultimate Move I previously created actually wasn¡¯t deliberately pursuing the power to stir the heavens and earth.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thrust of Li Yuan¡¯s long spear, the tip sliced through the vast sky, causing the surrounding air to tremble and even faint glimmers of starlight to burst forth, spectacularly radiant.


    He was drawing upon the power of the heavens and the earth!


    ¡°Following the heart¡¯s intent, following the sensation, rather than pursuing deliberately,¡± Li Yuan laughed, ¡°Unknowingly, I broke through.¡±


    ¡°Follow the sensation?¡± Li Yang stood to the side, deep in thought.


    In recent days,


    Li Yang had been accompanying Li Yuan in combat training. Naturally, in terms of skill level, Li Yang was higher¡­ but as Li Yuan made swift progress, his skillset was quickly catching up to Li Yang¡¯s.


    Intermediate Fifth Stage skills, High Rank Fifth Stage skills¡­ the fundamental difference wasn¡¯t that big.


    Especially in terms of creating ¡®True Intent Ultimate Moves,¡¯ Li Yuan definitely had the final say.


    So, it was less about Li Yang teaching Li Yuan and more about mutual exchange and learning from each other.


    Some of Li Yuan¡¯s words had given Li Yang much inspiration.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been somewhat anxious,¡± Li Yang laughed, ¡°I¡¯ve practiced more Third Rank Secret Manuals than you, my skill level is higher than yours, and I also have a Flying Heaven Level soul¡­ Yet, I¡¯m somewhat impatient, all the while thinking about creating a True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    With Li Yang¡¯s level of skill,


    once he created one or two True Intent Killing Moves, he could step into Fifth Stage Perfection and hope to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Haha, with such profound skills, Teacher, you¡¯re sure to achieve the Flying Heaven status,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    In these recent days talking with Li Yang, Li Yuan learned that the ¡®Galaxy Spiral¡¯ he had created was a True Intent Ultimate Move, touching upon the threshold of breaking into Fifth Stage Perfection.


    Of course,


    Li Yuan was aware that there were differences between True Intent Ultimate Moves¡­ like the one he had created, the power invoked from the heavens and earth couldn¡¯t compare to those of the Ultimate Moves of the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    After all, the insights and accumulations of the Flying Heaven Warriors far surpassed his own.


    But at least, among the Intermediate Fifth Stage Martial Artists, when it came to skill alone, he had already found few rivals, and with his skill improvement and enhanced insights, the power of his True Intent Ultimate Move would naturally grow stronger and stronger.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan sensed something.


    ¡°Dean Hai?¡± Li Yang also perceived it, both of them aware that a Flying Heaven Level presence was approaching.


    ¡°`


    Huh!


    Several hundred meters in the high sky, a genially attractive young man in blue clothes had suddenly appeared and was descending rapidly¡ªit was none other than Dean Hai.


    ¡°Li Yang, Li Yuan, you two seem quite leisurely, discussing skills with each other,¡± Dean Hai nodded slightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s more like Li Yuan enlightening me,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    ¡°Dean Hai, is there something you need?¡± Li Yuan realized that the other party must have something to discuss, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have come to find him unexpectedly.


    After all, it was only the day before yesterday that he had sought Li Yuan out¡ªit would be unlikely for him to come again so soon without good reason.


    Moreover, if it was not a significant matter, a simple message would have sufficed.


    ¡°Li Yang, I have something to discuss with Li Yuan; you may return first,¡± Dean Hai instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yang nodded his head, acknowledging.


    He had a clear understanding of his own position; since the Blue Star competition ended, he had quickly realized¡­ his student, Li Yuan, had completely exceeded his expectations.


    In some sense, within Xia Country and the Seven Star Alliance, Li Yuan¡¯s status had already surpassed that of his own teacher.


    Li Yang promptly left.


    On the grass.


    Only Li Yuan and Dean Hai remained.


    ¡°Dean, why don¡¯t we go inside the villa and sit down for a cup of tea?¡± Li Yuan suggested.


    ¡°No need,¡± Dean Hai shook his head and said, ¡°After notifying you, I still have to inform several other students¡­ This matter comes from the higher-ups in the Alliance.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan voiced his puzzlement.


    A First Rank Martial Artist like himself, what could be so important that the upper echelons of the Alliance had to send down a message?


    Furthermore, based on what Dean Hai implied, it seemed as though the matter involved more people than just him.


    ¡°It¡¯s about a hidden treasure within the civilization,¡± Dean Hai waved his hand.


    Weng~


    An invisible force enveloped the two of them, like an invisible barrier separating the inside from the outside, preventing eavesdropping from the outside world. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Using the power of heaven and earth?¡± Li Yuan perceived the action and was secretly stunned.


    At present, he himself could also use a small amount of the power of heaven and earth, but his control was far inferior to Dean Hai¡¯s¡­ This was a true master of the True Intent of heaven and earth.


    ¡°This treasure is located within a Second Rank Star Realm and had always been controlled by a high Spiritual Nature family within the Alliance, the ¡®Flame Clan¡¯,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°I believe I have mentioned this family to you before.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The first time he met Dean Hai, the latter had mentioned the ¡®Flame Clan¡¯, a family of formidable reputation. Due to their special bloodline, they also possessed a very special Cultivation Technique, the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯, which had given rise to dozens of Flying Heaven Martial Artists within their family.


    ¡°This family¡¯s treasure is of great importance,¡± said Dean Hai, ¡°but they have now come into conflict with the ¡®Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯ from the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ and the Alliance has decided to organize a rescue.¡±


    Immortal Ruins Civilization? Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    Since gaining access to the Flying Heaven Level, Li Yuan had been perusing a substantial amount of confidential information in his spare time from cultivating¡­ and there was significant emphasis on the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Other foreign domains such as the Tianliang Civilization and Cloud Beast Civilization, when compared to the Seven Stars human civilization, are strong and weak in different aspects, but generally, they all are on the same level.


    But the Immortal Ruins Civilization alone, even just the tip of the iceberg they reveal, far exceeds the Seven Stars human civilization.


    It is the most terrifying civilization known to the Seven Star Alliance, without equal.


    This time, the Seven Star Alliance was actually in conflict with the Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    ¡°This treasure land is a World within Worlds in the Second Level Star Realm, accessible only to First Order life forms,¡± Dean Hai explained, ¡°The matter is of great importance, and the Alliance has already mobilized a large number of Martial Artists close to the First Order Limit to enter.¡±


    ¡°Looking at our entire civilization, in terms of strength, you should be among the very top of First Order life forms, and you might even be the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the higher-ups specifically asked me to come and inquire whether you would be willing to go?¡±

 Chapter 318 - 232: Relic of the Gods (Request for Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 318: Chapter 232: Relic of the Gods (Request for Monthly Votes)


    Swiftly, Dean Hai revealed more intelligence about the World within Worlds to Li Yuan.


    ¡°World within Worlds? Only First Rank lives can enter?¡± Li Yuan listened to the shocking news.


    It sounded as though it involved the civilization struggle between the Seven Stars human civilization and the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    ¡°Is the World within Worlds part of the First Level Star Realm? How big is it?¡± Li Yuan asked the key question.


    In the First Level Star Realm, only First Order life is allowed in and out.


    In the Second Level Star Realm, only Second Rank life is allowed in and out.


    ...


    In the Third Level Star Realm, only Third Rank life is allowed in and out.


    Normally, the higher the level of the Star Realm, the more dangerous and vast it is compared to the lower levels¡­ but there are always exceptions, such as the Mingxu Star Realm, which is merely a First Level Star Realm yet wider and more dangerous than most Second Level Star Realms, and it harbors a large number of native Sky-Flying Level Life.


    ¡°No, the World within Worlds is different from the First Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°I understand your concerns,¡± Dean Hai said earnestly, ¡°Only First Order life can enter the World within Worlds, but that gateway allows Second Rank life to come out.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not right,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°According to what you said earlier, this Star Realm has always been under the control of the Blazing Flame Clan¡­¡±


    ¡°With their family¡¯s strength, they could easily station Prime Warriors there long-term, similar to a forward base like the one in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The seniors at the forward base in Mingxu Star Realm, they can¡¯t come out.¡±


    ¡°But the Prime Warriors stationed in the World within Worlds can still come out,¡± Li Yuan analyzed, ¡°There must be those willing, and it¡¯s entirely feasible to rotate them.¡±


    ¡°No matter how powerful the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is, they are only First Order life when they first break through¡­ Even if they are geniuses with Fifth Stage Skills, once they enter and immediately break through, if they face High Rank Origin Martial Artists or Top Grade Origin Martial Artists directly, they will still die,¡± Li Yuan said gravely.


    Having seen Principal Fang Hai, Li Yuan understood that if one¡¯s skills were profound enough, one could indeed fight beyond one¡¯s rank.


    For instance, if a First Order life stepped into the threshold of the Law, it could probably directly invoke the power of the Law and wipe out a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    But that was just hypothetical.


    First Order, Seventh Stage Skills, is that possible? Unrealistic!


    ¡°You are indeed smart to think of the crucial point,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°That¡¯s right! Normally, the Blazing Flame Clan would have easily seized the initiative and occupied this World within Worlds¡­ effortlessly.¡±


    ¡°But the key point is, Second Rank life can¡¯t stay long in the World within Worlds,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    Was it really that special?


    ¡°The specifics have not been fully clarified by the alliance¡¯s upper echelon, but if you agree to go, with your capabilities, you should be able to obtain all the information provided by the Blazing Flame Clan.¡±


    ¡°After all, the Blazing Flame Clan certainly does not want the matter to be public knowledge,¡± said Dean Hai, ¡°They only mentioned one thing¡­ this World within Worlds, the largest diameter exceeds 500 kilometers, it¡¯s an artificial relic, or rather an artificial world.¡±


    ¡°An artificial world?¡± Li Yuan was so astonished he almost jumped up.


    An artificial world, simply understood as human-made space¡­ it¡¯s known that Star Realms are born from collisions of different civilizations in space-time, something beyond the control of the Seven Star Alliance.


    Even the stabilization of the entrances and exits of the Star Realm is beyond the control of the Seven Star Alliance.


    And considering that a few cubic meters of Storage Magical Treasure can be worth hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins¡­ even with limited vision, Li Yuan could deduce a point¡ªthe Seven Star Alliance¡¯s use of space is quite crude.


    The Mysteries of Space have far transcended the current human understanding of technology.


    So then.


    To open, or rather to create a world with a diameter over 500 kilometers? What kind of ability is that? Simply unimaginable.


    ¡°You should realize the special nature of this World within Worlds.¡±


    Dean Hai said, ¡°This vast universe is actually filled with many unknowns. For instance, our civilization¡¯s Seven Great Planets, why did the Seven Star Bridges appear, and why did they later evolve into the initial Star Realm¡­ Even within our Seven Star human civilization, there are numerous unsolved mysteries.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention us.¡±


    ¡°Even those demigods standing at the pinnacle are still filled with confusion and hold a reverence for the universe,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Li Yuan was listening.


    He had already discovered many unsolved mysteries while searching through the archives.


    Human cognition is like a circle, with the unknown lying beyond its edge¡­ the more powerful one becomes, the larger the circle grows, and the greater the unknowns one encounters.


    ¡°Relics of Worlds within Worlds like this one have been discovered by our human civilization quite a number of times,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a world naturally born, all its internal laws would be traceable,¡± said Dean Hai. ¡°But for such Worlds within Worlds, most internal rules are set by their creators¡­ anything could happen.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Like a chicken in a poultry farm, in its understanding, perhaps when the feeder throws in the feed every day¡­ is some kind of natural law of the universe.


    ¡°To open up such an artificial world, demigods are incapable of doing so, they can¡¯t even create a stable small space,¡± said Dean Hai softly. ¡°Either, it is some extremely powerful foreign civilization that has utilized a very special method.¡±


    ¡°Or it is¡­ a god!¡± Dean Hai said slowly.


    Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.


    Gods?


    In fact, since becoming aware of beings surpassing the Sky-Flying level and even demigods, Li Yuan had subconsciously pondered this question¡ªif there are demigods¡­ then are there gods?


    But today was the first time he heard confirmation from Dean Hai.


    ¡°Are there really gods?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dean Hai nodded firmly, his eyes twinkling with light as if recalling something. ¡°We clearly know that within the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ there exist gods.¡±


    ¡°A god, by nature, is just a powerful lifeform, but their essence of life has truly transcended our understanding and imagination¡­ A single god could effortlessly destroy our entire civilization,¡± Dean Hai said solemnly.


    There are gods in the Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Should we still contend with the Immortal Ruins Civilization?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Of course, we must contend,¡± Dean Hai said slowly. ¡°Precisely because we know how vast the universe is, and how cruel the struggles between countless civilizations can be¡­ our entire civilization continuously strives to expand, to wage wars in various star realms, and does everything possible to strengthen itself.¡±


    ¡°If we are not strong enough, our entire civilization will eventually face extinction¡­ In the information we have, there are not a few foreign civilizations that have been annihilated.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention the distant ones, Feixing has almost been wiped out.¡±


    ¡°All the efforts of the Seven Star Alliance are to prevent the calamity of civilization extinction,¡± Dean Hai stated gravely.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    He thought of the Fish Spirit Tide he had once experienced.


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization is indeed powerful, but this time the contention is only within one of its internal realms¡­ Our Seven Star Alliance naturally dares to go for the challenge,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°After all, this is most likely a relic of a god, and in my estimation, the reason the Blazing Flame Family has become so powerful, giving birth to many Sky-Flying beings, is definitely related to this relic world.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, like a Flying Heaven Warrior who casually takes out a treasure that could transform an ordinary martial artist.


    Gods!


    Capable of effortlessly destroying civilizations, the relics of a world they left behind, perhaps a mere trickle from between their fingertips¡­ would be enough to drive demigods crazy.


    Of course, it¡¯s also possible that this relic world isn¡¯t as precious as the Seven Star Alliance imagines.


    Everything was hard to predict.


    ¡°Many ordinary martial artists may be directly conscripted,¡± Dean Hai said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°but for a peerless genius like you, things are naturally different.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance has its commitments.¡±


    ¡°First, any treasure you find in the ruins is yours to keep. If the Alliance finds something useful, we are willing to make an equivalent exchange,¡± Dean Hai explained. ¡°Second, if you ultimately drive away the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ we will reward you according to your contribution.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. The Alliance¡¯s promises were still credible.


    ¡°In fact.¡±


    ¡°In my eyes, your safety is naturally more important. After all, whether you succeed or fail does not have much to do with me,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°I¡¯m telling you all this in detail simply because I believe you could make a significant discovery.¡± S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh; Dean Hai was quite confident in him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t find it strange.¡±


    ¡°The Blazing Flame Family might sound powerful, but most of their Sky-Flying Level warriors rely on their bloodline,¡± Dean Hai said with a trace of disdain. ¡°They¡¯ve been exploring for over a hundred years, which might sound like a long time, but what kind of geniuses can they really dispatch? Their entire clan is only ten thousand strong.¡±


    ¡°But what about you?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a once-in-decades peerless genius from Blue Star,¡± Dean Hai said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°You¡¯re the peerless genius chosen from hundreds of billions.¡±


    ¡°Your venture might yield unexpected gains,¡± Dean Hai added.


    Li Yuan nodded again. It seemed that many people had tried their luck in this world of ruins before.


    Whether one could make a significant discovery also depended on the individual.


    ¡°There are benefits, but there are also risks,¡± Dean Hai said solemnly. ¡°The first is the danger of the ruins world itself; according to the Blazing Flame Family¡­ a Second Rank Life staying there long-term is surely doomed. One cannot exceed a year.¡±


    ¡°One year?¡± Li Yuan murmured internally.


    With that timeframe.


    Even with a plethora of treasures, it seemed at most, there could be Prime Warriors of the 23rd or 24th Stage.


    ¡°Second, there¡¯s the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°This civilization is indeed formidable. In our Seven Star Alliance, you are a top existence among First Rank Lives¡­ but in the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there might be First Rank Lives stronger than you.¡±


    Li Yuan listened but wasn¡¯t surprised.


    With different environments come different sorts of geniuses. Two people of the same caliber ¨C one raised in the countryside and the other in the city ¨C can end up worlds apart¡­ As a terrifying civilization with gods, it¡¯s normal for them to cultivate any kind of genius.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you both the benefits and risks. Whether you go or not is for you to decide,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°Don¡¯t rush to give me an answer. Just let me know your decision before six o¡¯clock this afternoon.¡±


    ¡°If you have any questions, you can also ask the president directly,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Dean Hai turned to leave.


    ¡°Dean.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly thought of something, ¡°May I ask, in which Second Level Star Realm is this world of ruins located?¡±


    ¡°Feixing, Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±


    ¡­


    As he watched Dean Hai walk away.


    Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts were still unsettled, echoing with the last words left by Dean Hai.


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm!


    Wasn¡¯t it the very star realm Lin Lanyue had ventured to? Was it a coincidence? He then suddenly recalled the High Rank Cultivation Methods Lanyue had been practicing¡­ It also seemed to fall under the category of Fire.


    After pondering for a while.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, and in an instant, he had flown dozens of meters to the villa next to his own.


    ¡­


    ¡°Brother Yuan,¡± Gu Qianghan said, looking bewildered at Li Yuan.


    He had just been napping, dreaming about a climax when Li Yuan had grabbed him out of bed.


    What had happened?


    Could it not have waited just one more minute?


    ¡°Gu Qiang, I want to ask you a question. Answer me honestly,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°Is your sister from the Blazing Flame Family above Feixing?¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, why are you asking this? Are you checking my sister¡¯s household registration?¡± Gu Qianghan was even more confused.


    Smack¡ªa slap on Gu Qianghan¡¯s head made him much more alert.


    ¡°It¡¯s important, just tell me,¡± Li Yuan said with a low voice. ¡°There¡¯s trouble with the Blazing Flame Family. Your sister told me she went to a star realm for an adventure, and I must clear this up.¡±


    ¡°Trouble with the Yan Family?¡± Gu Qianghan¡¯s face showed a trace of shock. ¡°How is that possible?¡±


    ¡°Yan Family?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    Wasn¡¯t it the Lin Family? After all, both of Lin Lanyue¡¯s brothers and her father were surnamed Lin.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, my sister is not from the Blazing Flame Family,¡± Gu Qianghan realized something significant must have happened. ¡°But her mother is; her mother is a Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist from the Yan Family.¡±


    ¡°A Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist from the Yan Family?¡± Li Yuan finally understood Lin Lanyue¡¯s background.


    Both her parents were Sky-Flying Level Martial Artists.


    ¡°Give me your brothers¡¯ communication numbers.¡±


    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yuan was back in the underground martial arts room, attempting to call the two V-chat numbers.


    All attempts failed.


    ¡°The system indicates that the target is not on Blue Star,¡± the assistance AI reminded.


    Without hesitation, Li Yuan logged onto the virtual network.


    He arrived at Starfire Space.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, activate ¡®Sky-Flying Level Access¡¯ and open Alliance communications,¡± Li Yuan said, very composed. ¡°I need to contact ¡®Lin Quan¡¯ from Starry Sky Martial Hall. His V-chat number is¡­¡±


    Between the Seven Great Planets, direct communication was actually possible, but ordinary people did not have the privilege.


    But Li Yuan did.


    Time ticked away, and Li Yuan waited patiently. After a full six minutes.


    Connection made!


    ¡°Senior, good day. I¡¯m Lin Quan,¡± a voice that was both strange yet familiar and deep sounded. The system only indicated that the caller had ¡®Starfire Martial Hall Sky-Flying Level Access¡¯ and did not reveal who it was, so he naturally assumed the other party was a Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist.


    ¡°Lin Big Brother,¡± Li Yuan spoke right away. ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±

    Chapter 319: Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Lin Quan was stunned for a second.


    Immediately after, he figured out who it was from the way the other party addressed him.


    Although he had been far away in Feixing and hadn¡¯t followed the global college Martial Path competition¡¯s virtual battles,


    Li Yuan had become extremely popular in the past month, even on the virtual networks of Feixing, gaining a certain fame.


    Naturally, Lin Quan was also aware of this.


    ¡°Hello, Li Yuan,¡± Lin Quan immediately changed the way he addressed him, remaining extremely polite.


    ...


    As a 29th level Prime Warrior, and with both parents being Flying Heaven Warriors, his perspective was not like that of an ordinary Prime Warrior.


    Just from Li Yuan¡¯s performance in the virtual battles and the ¡®Flying Heaven Warrior privileges¡¯ displayed on the phone, he had already deduced¡­ Li Yuan, his younger sister¡¯s high school classmate, had suddenly obtained an astonishing influence.


    At least, his status in the Starfire Martial Hall was now extremely high.


    ¡°Big brother Lin,¡± Li Yuan got straight to the point, ¡°My mentor just spoke to me about the ¡®Blazing Flame Family¡¯ matter, inviting me to join the battle in the World within Worlds. Are you aware of the outbreak in the World within Worlds?¡±


    Li Yuan was extremely grateful in his heart towards Lin Quan.


    At that time, had it not been for him daring to bring Heavenly Materials Treasures just in time, his uncle would have certainly died.


    ¡°The Blazing Flame Family?¡±


    Lin Quan hesitated, then said, ¡°I¡¯m not a member of the Blazing Flame Family, but I do know about this matter. Li Yuan, what is it that you want to know?¡±


    ¡°About Lanyue,¡± Li Yuan said directly, ¡°After being eliminated from the Blue Star competition, she told me she was going to Feixing¡¯s Fierce Feather Star Realm to seek her fortune. But I¡¯ve just learned that your mother is a Flying Heaven Warrior from the Blazing Flame Family¡­ I want to confirm if Lanyue has gone to the World within Worlds.¡±


    Lin Quan was shocked inside.


    Firstly, from Li Yuan¡¯s way of referring to Lin Lanyue, he could tell that their relationship was at least that of very close friends.


    Secondly, how had Li Yuan come to know so much information in such a short time?


    Li Yuan waited quietly for the other party¡¯s response.


    After a silence of three seconds, Lin Quan stated in a low voice, ¡°Yes, my little sister is trapped in the World within Worlds, and we¡¯ve lost contact with her. But according to my parents¡­ she is, with a high probability, still alive.¡±


    ¡°One of the demands the Blazing Flame Family has made in revealing the World within Worlds to the alliance is that they must rescue my sister¡­ She is extremely important to the entire Blazing Flame Family,¡± Lin Quan explained in detail.


    Logically, there were some things he shouldn¡¯t say.


    But after a moment of reflection in his mind, he chose to reveal them to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Alright, I understand,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Quan finally couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°are you thinking about going to the World within Worlds? You¡¯re just a freshman, and your Physical Quality might not be high enough, so don¡¯t be impulsive.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This World within Worlds, where the Blazing Flame Family has long arranged for several junior Prime Warriors to rotate guarding duties, was still overwhelmed by raiders from the Immortal Ruins Civilization, it¡¯s extremely dangerous,¡± Lin Quan solemnly said.


    Lin Quan knew that Li Yuan was skilled, able to match even himself.


    But under normal circumstances, while skills could be comprehended instantly, Physical Quality needed time to accumulate.


    In Lin Quan¡¯s view, like Lin Lanyue whose Physical Quality as a freshman had already grown to level 15, it was thanks to her bloodline gifts plus a large amount of resources.


    What about Li Yuan? How strong could his Physical Quality be if his skills were high but he lacked High Rank Cultivation Methods to assist him?


    ¡°I won¡¯t be impulsive,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Lin Quan let out a sigh of relief.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make thorough preparations before entering,¡± Li Yuan stated seriously.


    Lin Quan was taken aback.


    ¡°Alright, big brother Lin, I¡¯m going to start preparing now,¡± Li Yuan said, then promptly hung up the communication.


    Leaving a bewildered Lin Quan behind.


    He wondered if he hadn¡¯t made himself clear just now.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Arts Room of the villa at Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°Lanyue, really went to the World within Worlds? And lost contact?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart tightened; he was far from as composed as he had appeared.


    Until confirmation from Lin Quan, Li Yuan had always hoped she would not be there.


    Contrary to his wishes.


    The only saving grace was that Lin Quan¡¯s words still gave Li Yuan a last glimmer of hope¡ªshe was alive.


    ¡°From what Lin Quan said, does Lanyue hold an extremely high position in the Blazing Flame Family? Seems to be much higher than her two older brothers, and one of the conditions that the Blazing Flame Family has asked of the alliance is to save her? Could it be that she¡¯s able to cultivate the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯?¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°Even so, her importance to the Blazing Flame Family shouldn¡¯t be this high, right?¡±


    According to what Dean Hai had implied, if one could cultivate the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯, the hopes of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior were greatly increased.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior is indeed very important.


    But is it that important to a high-grade Spiritual Nature family that already has dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors?


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter now.¡±


    ¡°The more the alliance¡¯s upper echelons value her, the greater the hope of rescuing Lanyue,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    The moment he knew Lin Lanyue was trapped in the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had made his decision¡ªto take on the challenge!


    Scenes with Lin Lanyue began to drift through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Their every encounter in the elite building of high school, exchanging martial skills; the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University; Lin Lanyue rushing back from the Lantis Continent especially when Xu Bo, their teacher, passed away¡­ and her many times of assistance.


    Especially the time when she saved his uncle, an act Li Yuan would forever remember.


    The two of them, at this moment, could only be said to be friends with a very good relationship.


    But in a nebulous way, they both had some fond feelings for each other, only both consciously avoided many things¡­ both were dedicated to Martial Path and didn¡¯t wish to be distracted in their prime cultivation years.


    ¡°However, when she saved my uncle and helped me many times¡­ I have never been able to repay her,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes carried a hint of killing intent: ¡°This time, if I have the ability to do something, I cannot shrink back.¡±


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization? The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom? No matter how many Prime Warriors there are, I¡¯ll kill all those who dare to block my way.¡±


    Li Yuan was always a person of passion.


    Just like before, when senior Liu Jing sacrificed himself to save him, seeing a sliver of hope for victory, Li Yuan risked his life to turn back and save him.

    ¡°`


    Now, it¡¯s the same.


    Think everything through.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan directly sent a message to Dean Hai¡ª¡±Dean, I¡¯m willing to go, and it¡¯s best to depart as soon as possible.¡±


    Only ten seconds later.


    ...


    Dean Hai made a call, which Li Yuan immediately answered, and the communication was established.


    ¡°You¡¯ve decided so quickly?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s voice carried a note of surprise.


    ¡°Once it¡¯s clear, there¡¯s no room for hesitation,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, not wishing to explain further.


    ¡°Good,¡± Dean Hai nodded and didn¡¯t ask further, ¡°I will report your name right away. In three hours, I¡¯ll take you on a flyer to the ¡®Third Star Realm¡¯, towards Feixing.¡±


    ¡°This mission is urgent and extremely dangerous¡­ If there¡¯s anything you haven¡¯t taken care of, arrange it quickly.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Additionally,¡±


    ¡°In ten minutes, an ¡®unrestricted loan¡¯ of 20 billion Blue Star Coins will appear in the Starfire Treasure Vault of the Starfire Martial Hall for you,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°You can purchase any item you want without the restriction of your contribution balance.¡±


    ¡°Once you¡¯ve made your selection and submitted, the purchased treasures will be directly arranged for delivery outside the Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Take these 20 billion and buy more life-saving items,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°I will also quickly draft a ¡®suggested list¡¯ for you, which you can follow to make your purchases.¡±


    ¡°A 20 billion loan?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°This is the alliance¡¯s benefit to you. If you fall in the World within Worlds¡­ the loan will be written off,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°But if you come back alive, you¡¯ll need to repay the money.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    20 billion Blue Star Coins, for a Level 19 Martial Artist, would be enough to buy a multitude of life-saving items, even if he were to become a Prime Warrior right away.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for now,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡­


    After ending the communication with Dean Hai, ten minutes later, Li Yuan received a notification.


    He received an ¡®unrestricted Starfire Vault loan¡¯ of 20 billion from the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Li Yuan immediately logged into the virtual network.


    He entered the Starfire Space.


    ¡°Master, you¡¯ve come back so soon?¡± The sprite-like young girl was quite excited.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk too much, open the Starfire Vault.¡± Li Yuan said quietly.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    A giant screen appeared, revealing a vast category of treasures. Li Yuan saw the display of the 20 billion loan balance.


    There was no cash given, these loans had to be used to purchase treasures, and could only be for personal use.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    ¡°Even if I have to repay it later, at least these 20 billion loans won¡¯t consume my contribution limit; it¡¯s a great benefit,¡± Li Yuan thought quietly.


    One must make contributions, offering treasures to the Martial Hall, to receive contribution limits.


    ¡°20 billion, how should I spend it?¡± Li Yuan pondered, his thoughts stirring. Quickly, a new screen appeared next to him.


    Displayed on it was the ¡®suggested shopping list¡¯ just sent by Dean Hai.


    ¡°Two ¡®Origin Purple Life-Extending Pills¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Five Origin Power Battle Suits?¡±


    ¡°Standard Storage Magical Treasure.¡±


    ¡°Five preferred Long Spears.¡±


    ¡°A large quantity of food and water.¡±


    ¡­ S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan glanced over it, and Dean Hai¡¯s suggested list of treasures boiled down to two points.


    First, buy several pieces of frequently used items, such as Origin Power Battle Suits, weapons, etc., to prevent damage in frequent battles.


    Second, life-saving items.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with Dean Hai¡¯s suggestions,¡± Li Yuan decided, ¡°But preparing a large amount of food and water doesn¡¯t have to wait until reaching Feixing; I¡¯ll get it ready at the school.¡±


    Although Prime Warriors can absorb Origin Power, they haven¡¯t reached the point of complete abstention from food.


    Especially water, which is very important.


    Li Yuan already had a Storage Magical Treasure, six cubic meters.


    Even if he allocated half of the space for storing food and water, it was already substantial.


    Three minutes later, Li Yuan had selected all the treasures he needed¡ªspending a total of 16.4 billion.


    Just two Origin Purple Life-Extending Pills alone cost 10 billion Blue Star Coins.


    For the Origin Power Battle Suits, and the like, Li Yuan chose second-rank top-quality, each valued at 2 billion Blue Star Coins, totaling 10 billion for five pieces.


    Weapons? One second-rank top-quality Long Spear cost 1 billion Blue Star Coins, and Li Yuan bought ten in one go.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t worried about squandering.


    ¡°If they don¡¯t get used in the future, they can still be sold back to the Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    That is the advantage of having a Storage Treasure.


    Without a Storage Magical Treasure, he wouldn¡¯t be able to carry so many weapons, Battle Garments, and other auxiliary treasures.


    Place the order!


    All purchased items will be rushed in from Feixing, and Li Yuan can collect them at the entrance of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡­


    After acquiring the treasures, standing in the Starfire Space,


    Li Yuan pondered for a while.


    He quickly drafted a will and took out 5 billion Blue Star Coins from his name as an inheritance for his uncle and aunt.


    As for the other 3 billion-plus? Li Yuan decided to donate to the Seven Star Alliance in the event of his death.


    ¡°If luck doesn¡¯t favor me and I really die in the World within Worlds, these funds will be more than enough for my uncle and aunt to live comfortably for the rest of their lives,¡± thought Li Yuan, quite at peace with the idea.


    ¡°The country and the Martial Hall spent so much money and resources to cultivate me¡­ If I die, consider it some kind of feedback and contribution.¡±


    ¡­


    Leaving the virtual network capsule,


    He returned to the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Continue practicing the spear,¡± Li Yuan took out the Black Chen Spear and resumed his training.


    The Black Chen Spear, just a second-rate lower-quality weapon, was getting a bit weak for Li Yuan, who was on the verge of breaking through.


    Mainly, its weight was no longer sufficient.


    However, just practicing the spear was not a big issue; with it, Li Yuan tried to calm his mind.


    The closer to life-and-death battles, the more one must face tests of life and death,


    The more one must stay calm.


    Anger? Impatience? They could all cost your life!


    ¡­


    In Feixing, within the city belonging to the Blazing Flame Family,


    At the top floor of that towering building,


    ¡°Dad.¡± Lin Quan looked at the muscular figure in silver armor projected on the screen¡ªa man in his early thirties with a decidedly heroic air.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 321 - 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)_3

    Chapter 321: Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)_3


    He is Lin Lanyue¡¯s father, also a councilor of the Six Stars in the Seven Star Alliance, and one of the high-ranking members of the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡ªLin Yue.


    ¡°You just messaged me, saying that Li Yuan came asking about your younger sister?¡± the towering figure in silver armor spoke with a deep voice.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Quan nodded, clearly anxious, ¡°From what Li Yuan said, he will soon set off for the World within Worlds. With his strength¡­ going there¡­¡±


    ¡°I know,¡± the silver-armored figure interrupted his eldest son: ¡°Li Yuan is stronger than you imagine. Did it not occur to you that if his strength were inadequate, would his teacher have discussed this matter with him?¡±


    ...


    Lin Quan was stunned, quickly coming to a realization.


    Indeed! If Li Yuan were not strong enough, where else could he have received such news?


    ¡°Dad, I was wrong,¡± Lin Quan said with a wry smile.


    ¡°Concern leads to chaos, which is quite normal,¡± the silver-armored figure sighed softly: ¡°Looking at it now, whether your sister can come back alive¡­ we may truly have to rely on Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Quan gasped in surprise.


    ¡°After all, the World within Worlds ultimately relies on these First Order Limit martial artists to struggle,¡± the towering figure in silver armor regained his composure: ¡°Since technological weapons can¡¯t be used in the World within Worlds¡­ then, a top genius becomes very important.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, looking at the entire Human Alliance, there are a few martial artists at Level 19 whose strength could be compared to Li Yuan¡¯s, but not everyone may be willing to go¡­ Geniuses possessing Fifth Stage Skill at First Order are few in our entire civilization. They are almost as important as your sister; the Alliance won¡¯t force these geniuses,¡± he continued.


    Lin Quan listened attentively and couldn¡¯t help himself: ¡°Dad, could it be that my little sister really¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask anymore; this is not something you should concern yourself with,¡± said the towering figure in silver armor: ¡°Right now, your worrying is useless.¡±


    ¡°Your mother and I will keep an eye on this matter and make every effort to rescue your sister.¡±


    ¡°What you should do is calm down and concentrate on your cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Strive to achieve Fifth Stage Perfection as soon as possible,¡± the silver-armored towering figure said, and then he disconnected the communication.


    ¡­


    Time went by.


    After practicing with his spear for over two hours, Li Yuan took a shower and packed some clean clothes into his Storage Treasure.


    Then, he stored the vast quantities of compressed food and water delivered by the logistics department into his Storage Treasure.


    Another half an hour passed.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come out, it¡¯s time to go,¡± Dean Hai¡¯s voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Whoosh!


    With a single motion, Li Yuan stepped out of his villa.


    Dean Hai was waiting outside on the lawn.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t tell the other students, did you?¡± Dean Hai asked.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Dean Hai nodded: ¡°This time, the school is sending a total of 16 people to Feixing with you, all of them at Level 19 martial artists¡­ but they are unaware of your existence. They are all waiting inside the flyer now.¡±


    ¡°Remember, I will do my best to keep you separated from them, but no matter whom you encounter, unless there¡¯s a clear introduction, try not to reveal your identity,¡± Dean Hai cautioned.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Dean Hai gripped Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder, and an invisible force enveloped them, instantly blurring the light around them, making them invisible to the naked eye of others.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With Li Yuan in tow, Dean Hai surged towards the sky, quickly heading for the Kunlun Martial University¡¯s airport.


    A short while later.


    A large flyer took off from the airport.


    ¡­


    The Seven Star Alliance possesses seven great Life Planets.


    Although all within the same stellar system, even the shortest distance between any two of the Seven Great Planets is tens of millions of kilometers¡­the farthest is nearly a billion kilometers.


    Impossibly distant.


    Interstellar travel between these planets, not to mention the difficulty of the journey itself, would take years, even longer, if one were to voyage between the two most distant planets¡­ Communication among the Seven Great Planets is maintained through the Star Realm.


    Inside the flyer.


    In a separate cabin, only Li Yuan and Dean Hai.


    ¡°Of the Seven Great Planets, Blue Star, Firefly Star, Lan Tie Star, Cang Lei Star, Sea Heaven Star, Black Moon Star, Feixing¡­ in terms of population and resources, Feixing has the most, with a population exceeding 50 billion,¡± Dean Hai spoke softly: ¡°Next is Sea Heaven Star, with a population over 30 billion.¡±


    ¡°Then comes our Blue Star, with a population of over 10 billion.¡±


    ¡°The least populous is Lan Tie Star, with a population of about 4 billion,¡± Dean Hai continued: ¡°The other three each have a population of about 10 billion.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, aware of the basic information about the Seven Great Planets; he knew it already.


    With Flying Heaven level authority, one could learn the details.


    The combined population of the Seven Great Planets of the Seven Star Alliance exceeds 1.2 trillion.


    Over the past century, the Seven Star Alliance has also gradually developed ¡®proliferation areas¡¯ in many Star Realms, so the total population of the entire civilization is close to two trillion.


    However, humans from the Star Realm proliferation areas generally do not come to the Seven Great Planets.


    ¡°Among the Seven Great Planets, Feixing is the core and the most important planet in our entire civilization,¡± Dean Hai continued softly: ¡°Each of our Six Great Planets has a Star Realm connected to Feixing.¡± S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°These six Star Realms are also known as the Primitive Star Realms, the original six Star Realms of our civilization¡­ All of them evolved from Star Bridges,¡± he explained.


    ¡°These six Star Realms are all Third Level Star Realms, essentially corridors,¡± Dean Hai said: ¡°None of them is large in size, all are completely controlled by our Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    Third Level Star Realm?


    Li Yuan instantly understood why Feixing suffered several catastrophes over the years, yet the other Six Great Planets remained relatively safe¡­ Fourth Rank demigods couldn¡¯t travel through these Star Realms to other planets.


    ¡°So the demigods of the major planets can¡¯t enter these Star Realms and can only remain on their own planets?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Of course not,¡± Dean Hai chuckled: ¡°Demigods, if they want to travel to other planets, are aware of the precise spacetime coordinates of each planet¡­ They can cross the starry sky with their fleshly bodies.¡±


    ¡°The numerous rays, storms, and so on in the universe are major threats to Flying Heaven Warriors, so they can only enter space for a short time,¡± he said.

    Chapter 322: Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)_4


    ¡°`


    ¡°But these things pose no threat to the demigods,¡± they can even directly absorb the cosmic energy that drifts freely through the universe¡­


    ¡°Although the speed of the demigods is not bad compared to the vast and boundless starry sky, it¡¯s still too slow.¡±


    Li Yuan was dumbfounded. Physical travel across billions of kilometers of remote star space?


    This is what being a demigod entails!


    ¡°Exactly because traversing the starry sky is tough, people like Senior Dongfang Ji wouldn¡¯t easily leave Feixing,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°The other Six Great Planets also have demigods guarding them to prevent any mishaps.¡±


    ...


    ¡°For example, Bai Shan Semi-Divine has always been stationed on Blue Star.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Time passed.


    Through his exchanges with Dean Hai, along with what he saw in the data library, Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of the Seven Star Alliance and the Seven Great Planets had reached a new level.


    ¡­


    Several hours later.


    The spacecraft landed outside the entrance to the ¡°Third Star Realm¡± on the Lantis Continent.


    There was an enormous airport here, bustling with a significant flow of people.


    A group disembarked from the spacecraft.


    ¡°What a huge entrance,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyelids twitched.


    Gazing into the distance, he saw the massive entrance that seemed to tear open the sky, tens of kilometers wide and over five kilometers tall¡­ On the other side of the sky curtain was another world, with mountains, rivers, and cities, too.


    But the world on the other end was filled with starlight, contrasting starkly with the daylight on this side.


    It was a very eerie sight.


    Even having seen it several times on the virtual network, Li Yuan had to admit that the enormous and stable portal to the Star Realm was indeed awe-inspiring.


    ¡­


    Travelling on a high-speed train directly through the Third Star Realm, the land was vast, with continual mountain ranges.


    Passing through numerous towns.


    Aside from the starlight above, Li Yuan felt no difference from Blue Star.


    ¡°The entire Third Star Realm has a maximum diameter of over 4000 kilometers and is home to nearly two hundred million people,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°That¡¯s quite significant,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Half a day later, they passed through the Third Star Realm to Feixing.


    Then they boarded another aircraft.


    Dean Hai, along with Li Yuan and the other sixteen students from Kunlun Martial University, finally arrived at ¡°Fierce Feather City¡± on Feixing.


    A city named after the Fierce Feather Star Realm, bustling with a population of over ten million.


    It was extremely prosperous.


    All along the way, Li Yuan had noticed that apart from being vast, Feixing didn¡¯t seem much different from Blue Star in other respects. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The War Fortress,¡± Li Yuan sat in the two-seater cabin of the aircraft.


    Through the window, Li Yuan saw the immense War Fortress at the edge of the sky, towering over a thousand meters.


    The fortress covered an area as vast as Kunlun Martial University, if not larger.


    ¡°Did you remember what I said just now?¡± Dean Hai spoke, ¡°The other six have already arrived; you make the seventh. But there¡¯s only one Fourth Rank artifact, the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯, up for grabs this time. To secure it, you¡¯ll have to rely on your own strength and not hold back.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    On the way here.


    Dean Hai had been in contact with the Alliance¡¯s higher-ups, so Li Yuan was already aware of the general situation.


    With the current emergency draft,


    The Seven Star Alliance had already recruited over 5000 Martial Artists with Fifth Stage skills and above from the Seven Great Planets; more than 200 of them could break through to Prime Warrior at any moment.


    There were seven talents with Fifth Stage Skills like Li Yuan!


    In addition to ¡°credit limits¡± given to each person to purchase artifacts to enhance their survival capabilities,


    The Seven Star Alliance had also prepared some ¡°generous gifts¡± to quickly increase the strength of Prime Warriors.


    For instance¡ªthe Fourth Rank artifact, the ¡°Myriad Life Extension Fruit.¡±


    With just one, a recently advanced Prime Warrior could rapidly reach a Physical Quality of around level 22.


    However, such Fourth Rank artifacts were immensely valuable and rare even within the Seven Star Alliance.


    There was only one available this time.


    So, who would get it?


    Naturally, it would go to the strongest in real combat.


    Only then could the army quickly produce a tremendously powerful force upon entering the World within Worlds and achieve a decisive impact.


    ¡°We¡¯re almost there,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Swoosh!


    Soon, the aircraft slowly landed on the runway next to the War Fortress.


    Clang~


    The doors of the aircraft opened, and everyone began to exit one by one, Li Yuan following suit. He immediately saw, not far away on another recently landed aircraft, a group of First Rank Martial Artists disembarking.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered as he recognized a familiar face: ¡°Alicia?¡±

    During the virtual battle, aside from Dantai Feng, the person who attracted Li Yuan¡¯s attention the most was Alicia.


    Because the Martial Arts University she attended was only slightly better than Jiangbei Martial University and far from the likes of Kunlun Martial University and Kyoto Martial University, which are well-known local institutions.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had checked, her college entrance exam scores weren¡¯t very good, and she hadn¡¯t even made it into the virtual battle knockout round (top thousand) by her sophomore year, but then she had undergone an astonishing transformation within just one year.


    Within that year, her skills had leaped from the high ranks of Fourth Level all the way to Fifth Stage, and she even stood at the pinnacle of the Blue Star competition.


    She even entered the top five in the end.


    Deep down, Li Yuan really admired her, just as he always admired Tian Dazhuang.


    ...


    Those who emerge from hardships and sharpen their will and determination often progress faster the further they go.


    A person¡¯s talent is never fixed and unchangeable from birth.


    ¡°Oh? That little girl has come too?¡± Dean Hai, standing beside Li Yuan, had also noticed the blond-haired, blue-eyed Alicia not far away.


    Dean Hai had watched the virtual battles and was deeply impressed by Alicia.


    ¡°Her skills are so advanced, yet she hasn¡¯t become a Prime Warrior by her junior year?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.


    ¡°Dean, like me, she hasn¡¯t awakened her Martial Spirit,¡± Li Yuan explained in a low voice.


    ¡°Heh, you seem to know a lot about her, got your eye on the young lady?¡± Dean Hai chuckled, ¡°And you, you don¡¯t even have a matching high-rank Cultivation Method, so how did you almost become a Prime Warrior as a freshman?¡±


    Li Yuan could only give a wry smile, unable to answer.


    The higher the skill, the more one could unearth one¡¯s physical potential, and the faster the improvement in physical quality¡­ but ultimately, it requires time to accumulate.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, people like Dantai Feng had extremely favorable external conditions, yet their physical quality had only reached level 15.


    Naturally, they wouldn¡¯t attempt to break into World within Worlds.


    While high-rank Fifth Stage Martial Artists who had been cultivating for several years, like Jin Huguo and Yin Man, were mostly already Prime Warriors and didn¡¯t even get the chance to enter the Middle Realm.


    Therefore, looking across the Seven Star Alliance, there is a large batch of talented Martial Path practitioners at the university level (freshman to fifth year) who have reached Fifth Stage Skill, totaling over a thousand¡­ But to enter World in Worlds, one must be First Order life or below, so the number of people who meet the criteria naturally plummeted.


    Furthermore, not everyone is willing to go to battle.


    In the end, throughout the entire Seven Star Alliance, only seven Fifth Stage prodigies came.


    Among those affiliated with Blue Star, Li Yuan estimated that only he and Alicia were present.


    In fact, based on the conversations Li Yuan had with Dean Hai along their way, their civilization has quite a few opportunities similar to World within Worlds, including many relic sites¡­ but whether one can enter often depends on luck.


    ¡°Teacher, where are we going now?¡± Li Yuan asked softly.


    ¡°Other students from the school are mostly regular conscripts; they will join the main force and stand by,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°The seven of you, who are the strongest, will have a separate meeting with you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    This entry into the World within Worlds was divided into three levels of conscription by the Seven Star Alliance.


    The first level was for those like him and Alicia, who were the main fighting force.


    The second level consisted of more than 200 elite fighters who had reached the First Order Limit and were on the verge of becoming Prime Warriors.


    The third level included more than 5,000 level 19 Martial Artists.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Dean Hai, having led Li Yuan through the identity check at the entrance, quickly entered the inner wall of the War Fortress.


    As for the other 17 students from Kunlun Martial University, naturally, someone from the military would come to meet them.


    A few hundred meters away at the airport runway.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    Alicia, who had also caught sight of Li Yuan, showed a flicker of surprise in her eyes, ¡°He¡¯s only a freshman, right? Rumor has it that, like me, he also hasn¡¯t matched a high-rank Cultivation Method. Could it be that his Physical Quality is already close to that of a Prime Warrior? How did he do that?¡± S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just like Li Yuan was rather familiar with Alicia.


    Li Yuan, as the most dazzling presence in the Blue Star competition, was highly noticed and Alicia had privately looked up information about him.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Alicia, don¡¯t underestimate this young man, his spiritual power should have already reached Flying Heaven Level,¡± a childlike voice echoed in her mind.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level?¡± Alicia was even more startled internally, fully aware of what that signified.


    ¡°Little Star, why don¡¯t you come out?¡± Alicia responded with curiosity.


    ¡°Dare not,¡± the childlike voice said, ¡°A Flying Heaven Level being will be able to produce Divine Sense¡­ Ordinary Divine Sense can¡¯t detect my presence, but that Li Yuan, the handsome man beside him, his spiritual power is probably at level 35. If I come out, he¡¯ll be able to perceive my presence.¡±


    ¡°Level 35 spiritual power?¡± Alicia¡¯s heart grew even more shocked, ¡°A Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    She did not recognize Dean Hai, but she could sense his extraordinariness.


    ¡°Could it be that a Flying Heaven Warrior personally escorted Li Yuan here?¡± Alicia thought.


    ¡°Alicia, let¡¯s go,¡± a rough voice sounded, and immediately a burly figure walked down from the aircraft, ¡°I will take you to the base. After that, you will follow the arrangements.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± Alicia nodded. The person escorting her was a top-grade Origin Martial Artist teacher.


    Her and Li Yuan¡¯s standings within the alliance differed.


    Whoosh!


    Alicia followed the burly figure toward the nearby massive war base.


    ¡°Alicia, don¡¯t worry too much,¡± the childlike voice resounded in her mind again, ¡°Your civilization is just a small Fourth Level Civilization. Li Yuan is merely stronger than you at the current stage¡­ With me by your side, you will definitely surpass him gradually.¡±


    ¡°Follow my plan, and at the very least, you climbing step by step to the peak of your civilization is absolutely no problem,¡± the childlike voice asserted.


    ¡°Okay, got it,¡± Alicia responded perfunctorily in her mind.

    ¡°`


    Across the vast land, three red moons hung in the sky, their fiery, hazy light enveloping the earth.


    This place was the ¡®Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯, a Second Level Star Realm.


    The largest diameter of the Star Realm exceeds thirty thousand kilometers, containing the ¡®Reproduction Zone¡¯ of a Seven Star Civilization.


    The core area of the Reproduction Zone spans over two thousand kilometers, with a warning zone extending out to three thousand kilometers.


    At this moment, deep underground in the warning zone, nearly a kilometer down, a high-speed train was speeding forward.


    ...


    Within one of the train¡¯s carriages.


    Were Wu Manong, Li Yuan, Alicia and seven other First Rank Martial Path geniuses.


    ¡°I¡¯ll keep it short,¡±


    ¡°Over 200 of the first battalion of 500 Level 19 Martial Artists sent into the World within Worlds have died,¡± Wu Manong said indifferently.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So many are dead?¡±


    ¡°More than forty percent,¡± Li Yuan and Alicia¡¯s expressions changed.


    They were aware that the first group of conscripted Martial Artists had already gone in, but the death rate was truly frightening.


    ¡°The second batch of 1500 people is currently being arranged to enter,¡± Wu Manong continued, ¡°The goal of these first two thousand people is actually just one: to attract firepower for you and buy time for a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°After they enter in sequence, through the various predetermined channels, they will storm into all regions of the World within Worlds as squads¡­ Based on our current intelligence, the forces of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom are strong, but it seems they have not yet realized the importance of the World within Worlds. They have limited numbers, less than two hundred people, of which there are only a few dozen Prime Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Thousands of Level 19 Martial Artists will go into battle; they won¡¯t be able to finish them off in a short time.¡±


    ¡°Once the 2000 of them enter, it will be your turn,¡± Wu Manong said slowly.


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and Si Feng felt their hearts tighten, already sensing the brutality of what lay ahead.


    The previous two thousand were just to draw fire for them?


    ¡°Your top priority after entering is to break through and become Prime Warriors,¡± Wu Manong stated, before waving his hand.


    Whoosh! Seven silver boxes flew simultaneously and landed in front of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others.


    ¡°Within these silver boxes are ¡®Myriad Star Fruits¡¯, a top-tier Three Rank treasure. Each is worth more than ten billion Blue Star Coins, specially prepared by the Alliance for you,¡± Wu Manong said indifferently, ¡°The one with the weakest physical quality among you is at 19.7 Level. After taking it, you will quickly reach the 19.9 Level limit.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, Alicia, both of you are already at 19.9 Level. After taking it, your Physical Quality should also reach the threshold of 20 Level, enough to open the Sea of Origin Power,¡± Wu Manong said.


    Instantly, all seven geniuses understood the Alliance¡¯s arrangement and plan.


    The Myriad Life Extension Fruit? There was only one.


    But to let these seven talents, already on the verge of breaking through to become Prime Warriors at the Fifth Stage,


    Breach the Prime Warrior¡¯s threshold with one hundred percent certainty in a very short time, the Seven Star Alliance could still make it happen.


    The group promptly stored their Myriad Star Fruits away.


    ¡°This Myriad Star Fruit isn¡¯t of much use to me,¡± Li Yuan silently mused, also sweeping it away with a wave of his hand.


    ¡­


    The train was still on its way.


    ¡°Regarding the information about the World within Worlds, I won¡¯t go into detail: you can check that on your own. I just want to emphasize one thing: technology weapons are not allowed in the World within Worlds, a taboo discovered by the Blazing Flame Family,¡±


    ¡°Anyone who uses technological weapons will unquestionably be doomed,¡± Wu Manong spoke gravely, ¡°The only thing you can use is the communicator. It¡¯s specially customized to let you contact us directly.¡±


    ¡°However, if you enter the ¡®Inner Sanctum of the Divine Palace¡¯, contact will also be lost.¡±


    Li Yuan, Alicia and the others nodded slightly, clearing up some doubts in their minds.


    Prime Warriors are indeed formidable, but logically, they should be killable with some powerful technological weapons.


    ¡°A total of four tasks, with the importance of each task diminishing in order,¡± Wu Manong continued, ¡°First, cooperate with other Prime Warriors and First Rank Martial Artists to search for and eliminate all personnel from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°Second, explore the secrets of ¡®Divine Relics¡¯ within the World within Worlds, which the Blazing Flame Family has only partially explored.¡±


    ¡°Third, rescue the Martial Path genius ¡®Lin Lanyue¡¯ of the Blazing Flame Family. Her whereabouts are currently unclear, suspected to be inside the ¡®Divine Palace¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Fourth, inspect the large Divine Crystal mines, look for and excavate possible Earth Origin Crystals and Fire Divine Crystals.¡±


    ¡°Do you all understand?¡± Wu Manong asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°Understood,¡± all seven geniuses said in unison, then immediately looked down to read the detailed information about the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ that had just been transferred to their smart wristband devices.


    Only Li Yuan was most shocked in his heart.


    Large Divine Crystal mines? Possible Earth Origin Crystals?


    ¡°Opportunity,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate for me to keep asking the headmaster and Bai Shan Semi-Divine for Earth Origin Crystals,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I never expected that there would be Earth Origin Crystals inside the World within Worlds.¡±


    This was a situation that Li Yuan had not been aware of before.


    ¡­


    In another carriage of the train.


    Another Prime Warrior was lecturing dozens of First Rank Martial Artists.


    ¡°You have all achieved the First Order Limit and possess Fourth Level skill: you¡¯re ready to step into the realm of Prime Warrior at any moment,¡± the towering Prime Warrior spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Your first task upon entry is to break through immediately.¡±


    ¡°After that, work with other First Rank Martial Artists to locate and kill personnel from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°But remember,¡±


    ¡°If you encounter a Prime Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, do not engage rashly, immediately send a message to the seven powerful individuals numbered 0001-0007, let them handle it,¡± the towering Prime Warrior said in a deep tone, ¡°Any questions?¡± S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°How powerful exactly are these seven?¡± a Martial Artist asked.


    ¡°Yes,¡±


    ¡°By all accounts, they too will step into Prime Warriors after entering, how strong can they be?¡± doubts were raised by several people in the carriage.


    These First Order Limit Martial Artists with Fourth Level skill, mostly not from the military but from various forces and of greatly differing ages, naturally wouldn¡¯t easily be persuaded.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Once the seven powerful warriors have made their breakthroughs, any one of the warriors numbered 0002 to 0007 could kill a hundred of you new Prime Warriors,¡± the burly Prime Warrior said in a deep voice.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°One against a hundred?¡± The martial artists at the First Order Limit were all shocked.


    ¡°What about the strongest one? Number 0001?¡± someone couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    The others were also curious.


    ...


    If the six behind are so strong, just how powerful must the one with the highest rank be?


    ¡°Number 0001?¡± The burly Prime Warrior pondered for a moment, ¡°His strongest power cannot be revealed to you.¡±


    ¡°But according to the superiors,¡±


    ¡°Even if all of you become Prime Warriors, his slaughtering you would not be a matter of how many you are, but rather when his spiritual power and strength become exhausted¡­¡±


    Inside the carriage, there was dead silence.


    ¡­


    After traveling for several hours deep beneath the Fierce Feather Star Realm,


    Li Yuan and the others finally arrived at a large war fortress on the edge of the alert zone.


    Following Wu Manong, the group of seven stepped off the train, with Li Yuan walking first.


    No one objected.


    Martial Artists always let their strength do the talking.


    After a brief confrontation before entering the Star Realm, the strength Li Yuan displayed had already made the others like Si Feng and Xiong Ze realize that even if the six of them joined forces, they might not be a match for Li Yuan.

    Passing through layers of corridors and checkpoints,


    Finally,


    Li Yuan and his six companions followed Wu Manong into a massive underground structure surrounded by open-air corridors.


    Below them appeared an immense tunnel more than 100 meters in diameter, like a path leading to an endless abyss. Hundreds of meters below the tunnel, one could see a hazy glow shrouding the view, making it impossible to glimpse farther down.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan and Alicia were both shocked as they looked down.


    This was a scene they had never encountered before.


    ¡°This is the only passage we control that leads into the World within Worlds,¡± Wu Manong said in a deep voice, ¡°Only First Rank Life can enter; Second Rank Life will surely die.¡±


    ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    Just as Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Bai Ya had a moment of hesitation,


    Whoosh!


    Alicia had already leaped from high above, quickly falling until she disappeared into the layers of radiance below.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, don¡¯t delay,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice and leaped down as well.


    Seeing this, Si Feng, Xiong Ze, Bai Xing, and the others hesitated no more and followed, jumping into the tunnel.


    Wu Manong looked down at the huge tunnel below, deep in thought.


    After a while,


    he suddenly spoke: ¡°Prepare to send the first batch of 50 reserve Prime Warriors to the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± A Prime Warrior officer next to him responded deeply: ¡°I will arrange for their entry immediately.¡±


    Just one minute later.


    Whoosh!


    A flash of golden light suddenly zipped across the top of the massive ring-shaped corridor, followed by the golden light coalescing into a figure in a golden robe. With handsome features, he walked step by step to Wu Manong¡¯s side.


    If Li Yuan were here, he would surely recognize the identity of this figure in a golden robe¡ªYu Jinghe!!


    ¡°They¡¯ve all gone down?¡± Yu Jinghe asked in a low voice.


    ¡°They¡¯ve all entered,¡± Wu Manong replied blandly, ¡°This operation looks like it¡¯s going to rely on your little fellow townsman, who possesses Flying Heaven Level spiritual power while only at First Order. It¡¯s quite curious how he cultivated it.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Yu Jinghe nodded slightly, ¡°Bai Shan had mentioned him to me before. He indeed has tremendous potential.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Wu Manong shifted the subject, ¡°When will Tavares and Abbott arrive?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve already entered the Fierce Feather Star Realm and should arrive within six hours,¡± Yu Jinghe spoke softly, ¡°Why, are you worried that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom will actually make it to our base here?¡±


    ¡°Among the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, those who can contend with Li Yuan as they first enter Second Rank are few and far between,¡± Wu Manong said indifferently, ¡°If they encounter disadvantage in the World within Worlds,


    ¡°Perhaps they will try to attack at the source, directly assaulting our war fortress.¡±


    This war fortress was established by the Blazing Flame Family.


    The purpose was to guard the passage to and from the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯, even at the cost of building a ¡®subterranean passage¡¯ that connects to the core of the breeding area.


    However, only Second Level Life is allowed to enter and exit the Second Level Star Realm.


    Hence, for this operation, the Seven Star Alliance mobilized not only Li Yuan, Alicia and the other six top talents among First Rank Life,


    but also four Top Grade Origin Martial Artists who have reached the Sixth Stage of their skills, to collectively guard this war fortress.


    ¡°Why worry?¡±


    Yu Jinghe appeared quite indifferent, ¡°At worst, we¡¯ll break through to the Flying Heaven Realm right here in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Besides, doesn¡¯t the Blazing Flame Family still have two Flying Heaven Martial Artists? Comparatively speaking, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom would find it hard to take us down with six Flying HeavenWarriors on our side,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile.


    ¡°Those two useless ones?¡± Wu Manong shook his head, ¡°The two of them together would be defeated by us individually; they are unreliable.¡±


    Yu Jinghe fell silent.


    The Blazing Flame Family had two Flying Heaven Martial Artists who chose to stay forever in the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡­ regrettably, their strength among Flying Heaven Martial Artists belonged to the most ordinary of all.


    Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been left here.


    ¡°We¡¯ll take it step by step,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°First let¡¯s see if Li Yuan and the others can retake the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡­


    Whoosh~


    The whole person fell from high above, crashing into that massive, radiant tunnel.


    As soon as he touched that hazy radiance, Li Yuan felt an invisible fluctuation enveloping him, followed by a slight tremor in his brain.


    Rustling~


    Invisible forces surged, pressing down so hard that Li Yuan couldn¡¯t open his eyes, feeling like a small fish caught in a terrifying undercurrent, left to drift with the flow.


    After what seemed like dozens of seconds.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan felt emptiness beneath his feet, the surroundings became relaxed, and he immediately adjusted his bodily power.


    He landed steadily on the ground.

    ¡°This is?¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t feel any discomfort.


    With a quick glance, he discovered that he was in a vast corridor, unsure if it was inside a building or a cave.


    The corridor was dozens of meters high and just as wide, with metallic walls on all sides. The passageway twisted and turned, extending into the distance, faintly illuminated¡­


    Behind Li Yuan was a passage over ten meters in diameter, shrouded in a misty glow.


    It was the entrance he had come through.


    ¡°Which passage is this? Why is there no one else?¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly, ¡°Am I the only one here?¡±


    ...


    According to the intelligence provided by the Blazing Flame Family, the entrance from the Star Realm to the World within Worlds was unique.


    However, there were hundreds of exits within the World within Worlds, scattered throughout, and one would randomly descend at any of these exits.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power Battle Suit covered his entire body.


    At the same time, with a flip of his hand, a black long spear about two and a half meters long appeared in his hand.


    Inside him, a silver sliver as thin as a cicada¡¯s wing flowed to his mouth.


    Thus prepared,


    Should he encounter mortal danger, he would be able to take out the ¡®Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill¡¯ and pop it into his mouth instantly.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had just turned two corners along the corridor when suddenly his pupils shrank, for several corpses had appeared not far ahead in the passageway¡­ Judging by their clothes and decorations, they were all First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Alliance.


    By the looks of the wounds, all had clearly been sliced across the neck by a blade.


    Killed with a single strike!


    ¡°Are there experts from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom stationed in this passage?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s vigilance heightened.


    Why send thousands of First Rank Martial Artists in first? To draw fire,


    Creating opportunities for those who follow.


    Otherwise, if these top talents burst in before they had a chance to break through to become Prime Warriors and ran headfirst into the experts from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it would be troublesome.


    Boom~ The air vibrated slightly.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure exploded forward, darting out dozens of meters, while his long spear flipped in his hand to block.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± The sound of lightning-fast weapon clashes rang out as Li Yuan easily blocked two deadly strikes.


    Only then,


    Did Li Yuan¡¯s eyes fully see.


    The spot where he had just stood, from within that shadowy darkness, two slender figures slowly emerged, both emaciated and wearing Origin Power Battle Suits.


    ¡°Life Level shows 19.9, and you could block the fatal strikes of us brothers just with your battle instincts,¡± one emaciated figure spoke in a raspy voice, uttering in the common language of the Seven Stars, ¡°It seems, you must be one of the top talents dispatched by the Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    ¡°Too bad, your luck isn¡¯t good, running into us as soon as you got in,¡± the other emaciated figure said in a deep voice.


    The common language of the Seven Stars is the language of Xia Country.


    ¡°Battle instincts?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold.


    As soon as the opponent got close, his powerful spiritual power was released, alerting him that something was amiss.


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level 20.2, slaying it will yield Spiritual Nourishment]¡±


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level 20.1, slaying it will yield Spiritual Nourishment].¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved, and he employed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Strength and identity confirmed.


    ¡°Alien Race?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold: ¡°It must be killed!¡±


    Boom! Before his words fell, Li Yuan, holding the spear, had already exploded into action, attacking fiercely.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Swish! Swish! Two black figures moved in the blink of an eye, their bodies seemingly sheathed in a layer of flame-like light.


    Origin Power burst forth!


    These two Prime Warriors, wielding swords, darted toward Li Yuan like phantoms, one on the left and one on the right.


    The two sides closed the distance like lightning.


    In that instant of imminent collision,


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze hardened as he directly used the spiritual secret technique ¡°Soul Shock.¡±


    Rumbling~ The overwhelming Spiritual Shock surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing into the two Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Not good! Be careful!¡±


    The terrifying Spiritual Shock caused their consciousness to shake violently, completely disorienting them.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡°Pffch!¡±


    Two streams of spear light, flickering with starry radiance, slashed through the Vast Sky, thrusting straight at the two black figures.

    The Penetrative Power was too terrifying.


    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s a Spiritual Shock,¡± one of the black figures regained consciousness, not even having the time to call for help.


    In an instant of mid-air intersection,


    Pffch~ their two bodies were torn apart by the Black Chen Spear, like lightning ripping through them.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, two Level 20 Prime Warriors, dead!


    Wham~ Large chunks of limbs fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere.


    Clang~ Clang~


    Their weapons also dropped to the ground.


    ¡°[You have slain a Second Rank creature, obtained Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level is now 38.1%]¡±


    ¡°[Your¡­ Spiritual Awakening Level is now 38.3%]¡± Two Divine Palace notifications flashed past.


    Obviously, slaying Second Rank lives yielded much more Spiritual Nourishment than First Rank lives.


    If it were First Rank lives, even levels 18 or 19, Li Yuan would mostly need to kill dozens to improve his Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.1%.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan also landed on the ground.


    The spear tip dangled to the floor, and the blood on the spear, flowing along the groove, fell to the ground, leaving it as sleek as new.


    An Origin Power Weapon of Second Rank high grade, would basically remain undamaged in clashes at this level.


    This long spear was actually not the same one Li Yuan had used previously, but a newly purchased one.


    However, Li Yuan was accustomed to calling it the ¡®Black Chen Spear.¡¯


    ¡°Two Level 20 Prime Warriors dare to boast about sending me to death?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense enveloped the bodies of the two, swiftly collecting their damaged Origin Power Battle Suits and weapons.

    Chapter 330: Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)_4


    These things, all together, Li Yuan estimated were worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins.


    At the same time, Li Yuan found technological items like communication devices on them and crushed them all.


    ¡°Killing them instantly, they probably didn¡¯t send a message back,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Still, I can¡¯t be careless.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and quickly left the corridor.


    From the beginning to the end.


    ...


    Li Yuan never took these two Prime Warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, who had just entered the Second Rank, seriously.


    In terms of physical quality, Li Yuan had reached level 19.9.


    Under the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, the power and speed that Li Yuan could burst forth with was close to that of a Second Rank Prime Warrior of level 22.


    Coupled with his terrifying techniques, especially after using the ¡°True Intent¡± moves, Li Yuan was confident that he could swiftly kill a Prime Warrior of level 23 in a head-on fight.


    Therefore, with just a single spear thrust, Li Yuan tore through the defense of the Origin Power Battle Suit and killed the two Prime Warriors.


    The defense of a Second Rank Origin Power Battle Suit was strong, but it also depended on who was using it.


    Its defensive capabilities were, to a large extent, dependent on the ¡°strength of the user¡¯s Origin Power.¡±


    If it were a level 23 or 24 Prime Warrior relying on their powerful Origin Power for defense, even if they stood still, Li Yuan would find it hard to kill them with a single thrust.


    The most critical part was Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Secret Technique.


    It could be considered his ultimate killing move.


    Without the protection of an Origin Power Battle Suit, even a level 24 expert could potentially be killed by Li Yuan in one move.


    The current Li Yuan, after undergoing transformation after transformation, had indeed become very powerful.


    He could be called the strongest First Rank lifeform in the entire Seven Star Alliance.


    Even among the many Foreign Civilizations, there were very few First Rank lifeforms that could compare to him¡­ This was also why the upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance placed great importance on him and had high hopes for him.


    Because the current Li Yuan was indeed very strong.


    ¡°No rush,¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll leave the passageway, find a hidden spot to break through to become a Prime Warrior, then consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡± Li Yuan had a clear plan in his mind, ¡°By then, I will be a level 22 Prime Warrior¡­ my basic strength will be twice as strong as it is now.¡±


    ¡°And the infusing of Origin Power into my body is approaching as well.¡±


    Li Yuan believed that with the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit and the Infusion of Origin Power, in an extremely short time, his physical quality would transform again and again, and he had a good chance of soaring to level 23 or even higher¡­ By then, would the Second Rank lifeforms of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom be able to stop him?


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intentions, Lanyue should have already entered the ¡®Relic Divine Palace¡¯.¡±


    ¡°She should be temporarily safe.¡±


    ¡°Rushing to find her now is useless, I must first raise my strength to its peak to be confident of dealing with any danger,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself as he quickly disappeared at the winding corridor¡¯s end.


    ¡­


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, within the War Fortress, at the entrance of the passageway.


    ¡°They all successfully got inside,¡±


    Wu Manong suddenly whispered, ¡°The other six had good luck and didn¡¯t encounter any enemies, only Li Yuan ran into two Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Palace.¡±


    As per the orders, Li Yuan and Alicia, if they encountered any situation, had to report immediately through the Communication Device.


    Only then,


    Could the commanders outside give orders and make adjustments.


    ¡°Two Prime Warriors?¡± Yu Jinghe by his side was slightly startled, ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Li Yuan is alright, isn¡¯t he?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has killed them both.¡±


    ¡­


    World within Worlds, high above there was a radiant red sun, whose light enveloped the land.


    About 200 kilometers away from Li Yuan, there stood a vast palace complex with rolling hills that exuded an ancient aura.


    The entire outer wall of the palace complex was red, and the deeper you looked into it, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.


    Making it impossible for people to see into the deeper areas of the complex.


    At this moment, five figures with strong presences were gathering outside the palace complex, not daring to rashly enter.


    The leader was a tall, burly figure nearly three meters tall with fiery red hair, exuding an overbearing presence, staring at the distant palace complex with slightly furrowed brows, ¡°We have sent in twelve First Rank Martial Artists and six Prime Warriors in succession, yet they have all disappeared without a trace, and not a single message has been sent back.¡±


    ¡°What kind of danger is in there?¡± The tall, thin figure in a purple robe also furrowed his brows, ¡°Mintian Hou sent us here, suspecting that this is a divine relic, but could not provide additional information.¡±


    ¡°How do we verify it?¡±


    ¡°Are we supposed to charge in regardless of life and death?¡± The tall, thin figure in the purple robe shook his head in irritation.


    The other three figures looked at each other silently.


    Although all five of them were elites appointed by Mintian Hou, there was a difference in their strengths and status.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu,¡± another figure in black, short and portly, spoke in a low and deep voice, ¡°This is bad, number 10 and number 12 are dead.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Both Prime Warriors are dead?¡± The other four looked over in surprise.


    For this operation, numbers 1-35, all were Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Who killed them? Did any information get sent back?¡± The leading red-haired, domineering man asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°None,¡±


    ¡°According to the location, they died at what we marked as corridor number 38,¡± the black-clothed, portly figure said somberly, ¡°Most likely, they were instantly killed by a powerful being from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Suddenly, everyone went quiet. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Killed instantly at the entrance of the corridor?


    Those who just came through the corridor would definitely be First Rank lifeforms from the Seven Star Civilization, and would absolutely not have had the time to break through to the Second Rank.


    Yet two Prime Warriors, skilled in stealth, had been instantly killed by a First Rank lifeform? Without even having the chance to send a distress signal back?


    ¡°Trouble has come.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization sent in so many ordinary First Rank beings earlier just to divert our attention, now the ones arriving must be their top geniuses,¡± the domineering red-haired man stood up, his eyes flashing with light.

 Chapter 331 - 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)

    Chapter 331: Chapter 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization may be weak,¡±


    ¡°but after all, it¡¯s a civilization that has given birth to many demigods and is extremely powerful among the Fourth Level Civilizations,¡± the brawny red-haired man said in a deep voice, ¡°At least, it won¡¯t be weaker than our Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°Lei Wu, will you go or shall I?¡± the brawny red-haired man looked at the slender figure in the purple robe.


    This time, the mission handed down by Mintian Hou from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was led by the two of them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡±


    The slender figure in the purple robe stood up, his voice deep as he said, ¡°My presence here makes little difference, you continue the research on the relics here, I¡¯ll go hunt the geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ...


    ¡°These days, a large number of First Rank Martial Artists have stormed in, judging by the time, it¡¯s about to get serious,¡± said the slender figure in the purple robe.


    ¡°Mai Ka, Dong Ming, you both come with me,¡± ordered the slender figure ¡®Lei Wu¡¯.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the two men who had been silent stood up.


    ¡°By the way, Tie Mu¡¯er,¡± the slender figure Lei Wu turned to the brawny red-haired man, ¡°request reinforcements from Mintian Hou as soon as possible. With less than three hundred of us, we cannot defend so many entry channels.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re probably not going to figure out this relic anytime soon either,¡±


    ¡°If Mintian Hou wants to completely occupy this place, he must send at least a few thousand First Rank Martial Artists and a handful of Prime Warriors,¡± Lei Wu said in a deep voice.


    ¡°Hmm, I will pass on the message to Mintian Hou,¡± the brawny red-haired man nodded seriously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The slender figure in the purple robe, quickly leading two Prime Warriors, followed their map recorded over the past few days.


    They hurried toward Portal 38.


    The entire World within Worlds was vast and desolate, with nothing but continuous deserts and hardly any vegetation.


    Everything was shrouded in a blazing red sun that covered the earth, and there was no concept of night, as if it was a rough world that had just been created.


    As such, there was no native life, and the view stretched to the horizon.


    With the speed of a Prime Warrior of Initial Rank, they could easily reach 120 meters per second.


    200 kilometers? It would take at most half an hour to reach there.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three Prime Warriors advanced like lightning.


    ¡°Dong Ming, Mai Ka, keep in touch with everyone,¡± the slender figure instructed while on the move, ¡°Use the ¡®Life Signature Detector¡¯ to constantly check who has died.¡±


    ¡°Also, order everyone to abandon their posts at the entry channels and converge on the three of us, then concentrate on searching and slaughtering,¡± said the slender figure. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    These talented powerhouses of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had realized that, after being attacked suddenly nearly two days ago, the Seven Star Civilization had begun a full-scale counterattack¡­ In terms of individual strength, Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka were all very confident.


    But during this half-day, the First Rank powerhouses from the Seven Star Civilization had been flooding in through the channels like a tide, which still put a lot of pressure on the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team.


    Even though the team from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was generally more powerful and had killed over 600 First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization, their own casualties were steadily increasing.


    Therefore, Lei Wu realized that it was necessary to consolidate their forces and strike hard again.


    ¡°These First Rank Martial Artists are not a concern,¡±


    ¡°What we need to do is to find those top geniuses of the Seven Star Alliance,¡± Lei Wu¡¯s goal was very clear, ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is no match for us; the number of their geniuses suitable for battle¡­ won¡¯t be too many, and each time we kill one, it will hurt them for a long time.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was forced to start consolidating its forces, and began a concentrated sweep.


    The armies of the Seven Star Civilization, with their absolute numerical superiority, gradually began to take the initiative¡­ A vast amount of information was being gathered.


    In the Martial Arts Cultivation that focuses on personal great strength, the vast number of First Rank Martial Artists has never been about frontal combat¡­ but about gathering intelligence.


    Li Yuan and Alicia, no matter how strong they are, could not penetrate every area of the World within Worlds.


    But 5000 First Rank Martial Artists could!


    Thousands of First Rank Martial Artists stretched out like a huge net, conducting a grid-style search, and quickly located the personnel of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, then reported the intelligence to a hundred Prime Warriors.


    And even to the Seven Great Talents.


    ¡­ After killing two Prime Warriors, Li Yuan charged out of the underground cavern that stretched for about two kilometers and quickly distanced himself.


    The Origin Power Battle Suit on his body had changed to a ¡®soil yellow¡¯ color, blending almost seamlessly with the surrounding land.


    He fled for a full twenty kilometers.


    ¡°This will do,¡± Li Yuan found an inconspicuous crack in the earth amid a stretch of desert.


    He scanned the area for several kilometers to be sure there were no problems.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan dove into the two-meter-wide crack and quickly excavated a small cave on the side of the fissure¡¯s wall.


    Just large enough to conceal Li Yuan.


    He sat down cross-legged.


    His spiritual power was fully released, his Divine Sense perceiving everything within a hundred meters while faintly sensing violent fluctuations within a kilometer.


    ¡°Unless there¡¯s a Flying Heaven Level soul,¡±


    ¡°or someone cultivates a very special secret technique, it¡¯s impossible for them to approach within a hundred meters of me without making a sound,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Furthermore, the place I¡¯ve chosen is more than 20 kilometers from where I came out, so the chances of being discovered should be very small.¡±


    Having thought everything through,


    cultivation is a serious matter, especially progressing from First Rank to Second Rank which is a leap in the essence of life, so Li Yuan had to be cautious.


    Better to break through slowly and make sure everything is foolproof.


    ¡°Just like Teacher Xu Bo said, when killing an enemy, you must tear apart every limb and the head,¡± Li Yuan silently recalled his teacher¡¯s teachings, ¡°It¡¯s never wrong to estimate the enemy generously.¡±


    Li Yuan closed his eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to break through to Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, his spiritual power already sensing the three Star Meridians in his body.


    With a single thought,


    Hum~ all three Star Meridians began to operate.

 Chapter 332 - 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Extra 30, 31)_2

    Chapter 332: Chapter 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Extra 30, 31)_2


    One Star Meridian was immensely powerful, its countless points of light linked into a dazzling line.


    The other two Star Meridians had awakened not long ago, with sparse light points, but they were indispensable.


    ¡°Star Meridians, circulate.¡±


    ¡°Establish the Sea of Source Energy.¡± Li Yuan fully activated the three Star Meridians, and following the experiences of many predecessors in the Martial Hall data archives and numerous Cultivation Techniques, the Meridians began frantically absorbing the Source Energy from the outside.


    Boom¨C


    The Source Energy that remained in Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridians began to accumulate, becoming more abundant¡­ This Source Energy stayed within the Star Meridians, circulating throughout his body with the movement of the Star Meridians.


    ...


    If it had been earlier, as the Source Energy circulated, Li Yuan¡¯s flesh and blood would have devoured it voraciously like a gluttonous feast, but now they were satiated and simply couldn¡¯t absorb any more in the short term.


    Star Meridians couldn¡¯t store large amounts of Source Energy; they could only maintain a small amount.


    ¡°Pressure.¡±


    ¡°Every part of the body feels the compression from the circulation of the three Star Meridians.¡± Li Yuan sensed the discomfort in his body.


    It was as if a person needs to eat every day; not eating makes one hungry, but overeating after being full can lead to bloating¡­ even rupturing the stomach!


    Li Yuan was in a similar situation now.


    ¡°Continue!¡± Li Yuan continued to run his Star Meridians, frantically absorbing the Source Energy from the outside.


    Over an hour later.


    Boom¨C The Source Energy in Li Yuan¡¯s three Star Meridians surged like roaring rivers, churning and flowing, with massive amounts of Source Energy still compressing and accumulating.


    It was as if a dam, after repeated water storage reaching its highest level, was now at the risk of bursting.


    Li Yuan was in that situation now, his body filled with such potent Source Energy that the slightest misstep could cause his body to collapse completely.


    ¡°So much Source Energy?¡±


    Li Yuan was rather shocked, ¡°Hmm, over ninety percent of the Source Energy was accumulated by the Perfect Star Vein.¡±


    After reviewing vast amounts of data,


    Li Yuan knew the approximate limit of Source Energy a normal First Rank Martial Artist could absorb during a breakthrough¡­ far less than his own.


    ¡°Perfect Star Vein!¡± Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Other First Order Limit Martial Artists, when they break through to become Prime Warriors, awakening the Second Layer and Third Layer Star Veins in their first attempt, that¡¯s impressive. But where can they compare to my Perfect Star Vein?¡± Li Yuan mused.


    One could tell just by looking at the display on the Divine Palace panel.


    The cultivation efficiency of a single Perfect Star Vein was worth more than 20 newly awakened First Layer Star Veins¡­ The breakthrough scene was naturally terrifying.


    ¡°With such an abundance of Source Energy, maybe I¡¯ll greatly increase in strength as soon as I break through,¡± thought Li Yuan.


    Finally.


    The accumulated Source Energy in the three Star Meridians had reached a kind of limit¡­ Li Yuan felt it keenly, feeling as though he was bearing the weight of a mountain.


    Moving his body slightly might risk it falling apart.


    At this time, should a powerful warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom launch an assault¡­ it would be extremely dangerous.


    Fortunately, the outside world was very tranquil.


    ¡°Breakthrough.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan activated the tumultuous Source Energy in the three Star Meridians, directing it to a specific point in the dantian in his lower abdomen.


    This point was essential in the circulation of the three Star Meridians.


    Boom!


    Instantly! As if heaven and earth were collapsing, like the creation of the world, the originally chaotic dantian exploded into existence¡­ This special space rapidly expanded, and at the very core, a special microspace between illusion and reality formed.


    ¡°Within one point in the body, it harbors vast Source Energy like an ocean.¡± Li Yuan realized, ¡°This is the Sea of Source Energy.¡±


    ¡°From this moment on,¡±


    ¡°Source Energy will accumulate endlessly, rooted within¡­ and life can look forward to leaping towards a higher level.¡±


    The inflow of Source Energy signifies the Prime Warrior!


    In a sense, before reaching the Second Rank, all are just ordinary life.


    Only by establishing the Sea of Source Energy is one taking the first step on the ¡®path beyond the ordinary.¡¯


    ¡°Continue!¡± Moved by a thought, Li Yuan carried on with his cultivation.


    Boom¨C


    The Source Energy stored in the three Star Meridians began to pour crazily into the Sea of Source Energy¡­ causing the sea to expand continuously, and the Source Energy to accumulate wildly.


    Hiss¨C The Source Energy in the Sea of Source Energy surged, increasing voluminously, slowly turning into a massive vortex.


    Massive amounts of Source Energy were drawn into the vortex, being compressed and refined continuously.


    Gradually, the Source Energy born at the center of the vortex was purer and stronger than before.


    ¡°This is the true Second Rank Source Energy,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Meanwhile,


    Swish¨C The newly transformed Second Rank Source Energy followed the special connection between the Star Meridians and the Sea of Source Energy, flowing back into the Star Meridians and, with the movement of the Star Meridians, spreading to every corner of the body.


    ¡°Nourishing the body.¡±


    The moment Second Rank Source Energy flooded into every part of the body, it sparked a drastic transformation in Li Yuan.


    His bones, bone marrow, muscles, blood, fascia, skin, hair, and so on, all underwent astonishing Transformation under this nurturing by the potent Source Energy.


    A change in the very essence of life.


    Why is it that a normal First Order Limit life form has a standard Fist Strength of 70,000 kilograms while a Level 20.0 has 80,000 kilograms?


    It is because, upon breakthrough, the Second Rank Source Energy causes the body to undergo a tremendous Transformation.


    This is a leap in Life Level.


    ¡°Level 20, the first step beyond the ordinary,¡± Li Yuan reveled in this process, feeling quite delighted.


    In his youth, Li Yuan saw Prime Warriors as incredibly powerful.


    Back then, a Hall Master of a Regional Martial Hall, the captain of a Martial Artist squad, and many others, were all Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Now, I have also reached this step.¡±


    ¡°Just like at the major Martial Arts Universities, once you become a Prime Warrior, you can choose to graduate.¡± Li Yuan felt a surge of pride, ¡°In a sense, Prime Warriors are the ¡®backbone¡¯ within the entire civilization, truly qualified to venture into various dangerous realms and to be the vanguard battling against many warriors from Foreign Civilizations.¡±

 Chapter 333 - 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)_3

    Chapter 333: Chapter 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)_3


    ¡°`


    After a while, Li Yuan finally settled his emotions and continued to circulate his Origin Power, nourishing his body.


    This kind of leap in the essence of life.


    The effect was so strong, it was comparable to some Heavenly Materials Treasures, and it was completely harmless.


    Even more, as his physical quality soared unstoppably.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel his soul being nourished, becoming stronger continuously.


    ...


    Just over ten minutes.


    Li Yuan could perceive that his bodily strength had increased significantly, already reaching the threshold of Level 20.


    ¡°Hmm? The Divine Palace panel?¡± Li Yuan noticed a special change in the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 20.1 (22.2) Rank (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 83,000 kilograms


    Speed: 122.4 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 30.7 (31.4) Rank


    Willpower: 33 Rank


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 38.3% (current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: 13 Rank (training efficiency 10+0.5+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 42%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 42%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± (First Rank 6 Level: 6 Level)


    ¡­


    ¡°A leap to Life Level 20, I can understand the changes in the Divine Palace panel data,¡± Li Yuan was both shocked and puzzled in his heart, ¡°But what about those parentheses after the Life Level and Spiritual Power? What do they mean?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that this is the limit of Life Level I can reach in an extremely short time?¡± Li Yuan guessed.


    It was only natural for Li Yuan to think this way.


    Because!


    Normally, for a Martial Artist to transition from First Rank to Second Rank, once the Sea of Source Energy is established and the physical quality transforms to Level 20, it would gradually come to a halt¡­ Afterwards, one would have to train slowly.


    But at this moment, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level had reached 20.1 Rank, and as the Star Meridian operated, that pure Origin Power¡­ was still pushing his physical quality to continuously soar.


    ¡°Most likely.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s due to the Perfect Star Vein,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart surged with excitement, this kind of soaring in physical quality was just too exhilarating.


    It was as if going from an infant in the past to a stout man in a very short time.


    ¡°87,600 kilograms!¡±


    ¡°91,200 kilograms.¡±


    ¡°96,600 kilograms.¡± Li Yuan felt his body transforming, and could also see the detailed changes in standard Fist Strength and Spiritual Power on the Divine Palace panel.


    This was an unprecedented transformation.


    ¡­


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, War Fortress.


    In a super-sized conference room.


    At this moment, gathered here were not only Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe, but also four more figures.


    Among them, two were very young, naturally they were Tavares and Abbott, as mentioned by Wu Manong.


    The other two, with much stronger life auras and visibly older faces.


    Were the two Flying Heaven Warriors of the Blazing Flame Family left behind in the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡ªYanjun Ling and Yanjun Fox.


    ¡°Old Wu, how¡¯s the situation?¡± the burly Tavares, resembling a War God, asked in a deep voice.


    He and Abbott had just arrived and were not fully aware of the details yet.


    ¡°The vanguard troops have been inside for seven hours, Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others for five hours,¡± Wu Manong was extremely calm, ¡°Now, all the armies mobilized by the alliance have already entered the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°The number of dead First Rank Martial Artists exceeds 1,200.¡±


    ¡°Dead reserve Prime Warriors total 16.¡±


    ¡°The seven prodigies are all safe for the time being,¡± Wu Manong said calmly, ¡°At the same time, we have inflicted over 100 casualties on them. Although we have suffered heavy losses, the situation has basically reversed.¡±


    ¡°Now, we have forced the troops of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to retreat,¡± Wu Manong stated.


    ¡°How many Prime Warriors do we have on our side?¡± Abbott asked the critical question.


    ¡°Regular Prime Warriors already exceed 70 in number, six of the seven prodigies have already broken through,¡± Wu Manong said solemnly, ¡°But they alone will have a hard time winning¡­ Si Feng broke through to become a Prime Warrior, at Level 20.3, and encountered a powerful Prime Warrior of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom. If it weren¡¯t for Xiong Ze arriving just in time to rescue him, he would probably have died.¡±


    ¡°The enemy also has Fifth Stage Skill, but their Physical Quality is much stronger, definitely having used some precious treasures after entering the World within Worlds,¡± Wu Manong stated.


    ¡°And, we still do not know if this is the strongest member of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team.¡±


    All those present felt the pressure.


    In terms of accumulated treasures, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom could only be stronger.


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡± The middle-aged man in fiery red robes, ¡®Yanjun Fox¡¯, asked with confusion, ¡°Wasn¡¯t he said to be the strongest? Let him take action.¡±


    Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others were momentarily taken aback before looking at Yanjun Fox with puzzled eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yanjun Fox felt the gazes of Wu Manong and the others and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Did I say something wrong?¡±


    ¡°Yun Fox.¡± Yanjun Ling next to him frowned, ¡°Li Yuan still needs to take the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡¯ a Fourth Rank treasure. Fully digesting it also takes a considerable amount of time¡­ be patient.¡±


    ¡°I can wait.¡±


    ¡°But the longer the delay, when Gu Yue Divine Kingdom truly uncovers the secrets of the World within Worlds, they may send even more people to kill their way in,¡± Yanjun Fox couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°At that time, if the situation collapses, can they bear the responsibility?¡±


    ¡°Shut up.¡± Wu Manong¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, ¡°Not satisfied? Then send your Blazing Flame Family¡¯s First Rank Martial Artists to see if they can win?¡± S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He had long been dissatisfied with the Blazing Flame Family.


    ¡°What¡¯s with your attitude?¡± Yanjun Fox immediately got angry, considering himself a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Always staying in the reproduction area of Fierce Feather Star Realm, he was used to giving orders without question.


    ¡°This is my attitude.¡±


    ¡°Not convinced? Believe it or not, I can beat you into submission?¡± Wu Manong¡¯s eyes were icy, ¡°Remember, I am the supreme commander.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, isn¡¯t your Blazing Flame Family responsible for this current situation?¡±


    ¡°You had such a treasure spot yet kept it secret and did not report it. If it had been reported earlier, would the situation be as dire? Would Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have had the chance to interfere?¡± Wu Manong sneered, ¡°If you really had the ability, you wouldn¡¯t need the alliance to wipe your ass.¡±

    ¡°Do you see those thousands of martial artists who died in battle?¡±


    ¡°They didn¡¯t have to die.¡± Wu Manong stared intensely at the Flame Cloud Fox, an invisible aura already spreading around him as if he was about to explode at any moment.


    That look, it made Flame Cloud Fox¡¯s heart tremble slightly.


    If it were a normal 29th rank Prime Warrior, he could kill them with one move, but Wu Manong? He was a genius Prime Warrior ranked among the top twenty in the entire civilization.

    ¡°Hmph.¡± Wu Manong snorted coldly and turned to continue looking at the map projection screen not far away.


    ...


    And the vast number of combatants, constantly sending back messages.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm? Not good! Kross and Alicia are calling for help,¡± Abbott¡¯s face suddenly changed.


    He pointed at two messages that flashed past on the projection screens.


    ¡°Help! Encountered three fifth stage skill Prime Warriors, at least one is level 22! Help!¡±


    ¡°Help!¡±


    ¡­


    Within World within Worlds, in the underground cavern by the huge crevice where Li Yuan was in seclusion.


    It was utterly tranquil.


    ¡°Finally, I¡¯ve broken through as a Prime Warrior, the transformation is completely finished,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the terrifying power surging within him: ¡°To think that a single breakthrough could elevate me to level 22.2! It¡¯s truly unbelievable!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze once again swept over the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡­


    In the outside world, Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, and others thought that Li Yuan¡¯s prolonged breakthrough was due to consuming the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡¯ which required a lot of time to digest the fruit¡¯s effects.


    Only Li Yuan himself understood.


    No!


    It was simply because the ¡®Origin Power¡¯ born from the Sea of Source Energy was too pure, causing his physical quality to transform at high speed.


    Only after reaching level 22.2 did his Life Level finally stabilize completely.


    From level 19.9, leaping directly to 22.2, it took Li Yuan over four hours.


    But the time spent was worth it.


    ¡°My Fist Strength is about 2.5 times what it was before the breakthrough, and my Burst Speed is 1.5 times faster,¡± Li Yuan was both overjoyed and amazed: ¡°Perfect Star Vein!!¡±


    By now, Li Yuan was absolutely certain, this was all thanks to the Perfect Star Vein.


    Other martial artists, upon breaking through, were usually at level 20.0, 20.1, and the impressive ones were around level 20.3 right after their breakthrough.


    And himself?


    He directly soared to level 22.2!


    ¡°With such a strong foundation,¡± Li Yuan clenched his fists, his body seeming to possess boundless strength: ¡°Next, I can still consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit.¡±


    ¡°And what about when Origin Power enters the body?¡±


    By then, how far his physical quality would soar, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t even imagine.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan looked down at his smart bracelet, his expression changing: ¡°Kross and Alicia are in danger?¡±


    ¡°Three powerful Prime Warriors? All with fifth stage skills? One of them suspected to be level 22?¡±


    Such a team¡¯s strength was already extremely formidable.


    Even if Kross and Alicia became Prime Warriors, they might not be able to withstand it.


    ¡°Check the location coordinates.¡± Li Yuan immediately checked each other¡¯s coordinates.


    As user 0001, Li Yuan had very high-level access, able to check the location of others¡¯ communicators relative to his own at any time.


    ¡°23 kilometers?¡±


    ¡°Not far from me! There¡¯s hope for rescue.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved and he instantly shot out of the cave.


    With a thought.


    Boom!


    An Origin Power Battle Suit covered his entire body, and instantly the three major Star Meridians within him operated, with surging Origin Power rushing out from the Sea of Source Energy.


    In an instant, a layer of dim earthy yellow light completely enveloped Li Yuan.


    Origin Power burst forth! This was the full-strength state of a Prime Warrior!


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his whole body¡¯s Vigor was in motion.


    In just one second, Li Yuan¡¯s Burst Speed had already soared to an astonishing level, surpassing 220 meters/second.


    The entire person transformed into a terrifying streak of light rushing towards the distance, as if flying low to the ground, every step he took, the terrifying forces bursting forth caused the ground itself to tremble slightly.


    23 kilometers?


    It would take only about two minutes for Li Yuan to arrive!


    ¡ª¡ª


    ps: He has finally become a Prime Warrior! It¡¯s only going to get more exciting from here on out! Today¡¯s update is nearly 13,000 words!


    Brothers, I need your monthly votes! Let¡¯s stay at number one until the end of the month!!

 Chapter 335 - 237: Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 335: Chapter 237: Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Votes)


    The crimson sun hung in the sky, its light engulfing the land, vast and endless like blood.


    Amidst a mountain range, a great battle erupted.


    Five Prime Warriors, all clad in Origin Power Battle Suits, engaged fiercely in combat.


    The five powerhouses were faintly divided into two camps.


    One side consisted of three people, led by a thin, tall figure shrouded in faint lightning, wielding a combat saber, his presence formidable and terrifying, fiercely attacking the petite figure of the opposing side.


    The other two members of this side were both radiating fiery red light, one holding a long spear, the other gripping a war hammer, both with an extremely frightening aura.


    ...


    The ones besieged by their trio were none other than Kross and Alicia.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Alicia channeled Origin Power, fully activating her Origin Power Battle Suit, her long sword radiating streaks of blue light, continuous like flowing water, fending off the attacks from the thin, tall, purple-robed figure.


    With every clash, Alicia was forced to retreat by the force of the impact.


    However, she seemed to possess an invisible magic power, as her gaze swept over, causing the tall purple figure to stagger and be continuously affected, unable to exert his full combat strength.


    Occasionally, Alicia¡¯s sword would even leave faint marks on his body.


    Alas.


    In terms of overall strength, Alicia and Kross, even when joining forces, fell far short of their opponents, and despite fleeing while fighting, they were still tightly ensnared.


    They had already fled over ten kilometers, yet they had not shaken off the pursuit.


    And with each collision, Kross¡¯s injuries worsened, making it increasingly difficult to even keep fleeing.


    The key.


    It was that tall figure shrouded in purple light. His strength was too terrifying; if it came to a normal fight, he was entirely capable of sweeping both of them aside.


    ¡°Just a few hours in,¡±


    ¡°and we¡¯re in dire straits. How can this lightning lineage Prime Warrior have such strong willpower?¡± Alicia gritted her teeth, iciness in her eyes.


    Boom!


    Time and again, terrifying Spiritual Shocks exploded from her spiritual world, continually sweeping towards the tall purple figure, repeatedly affecting him.


    Spiritual Secret Technique!


    Alicia was also extremely skilled in Spiritual Secret Techniques, and in some respects, she was even more adept than Li Yuan, which was why she had been able to withstand the three-on-one assault for so long with Kross.


    Her swordsmanship was also very defensive.


    ¡°Lei Wu, you still haven¡¯t been able to take them down after so long?¡± The fiery red figures holding the long spear and war hammer were both growing impatient.


    The battle had been going on for quite some time.


    They were worried that other powerful individuals from the Seven Star Civilization might come to the rescue.


    ¡°What¡¯s the rush,¡± the tall purple figure retorted coldly, ¡°The one before me must be one of the top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Not only is her swordsmanship excellent, but most importantly, her spiritual power is extremely strong, probably at the Second Order Limit.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s not so easy to kill.¡±


    ¡°However, as time goes on, her Spiritual Secret Technique will have less effect on me, and she won¡¯t be able to hold on.¡±


    The three communicated in a special ¡®Secret Language,¡¯ not even in the common tongue of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Therefore, Alicia and Kross could not understand a word.


    ¡°Alicia, the one you¡¯re fighting is called Lei Wu; he¡¯s likely the strongest among them,¡± a youthful voice arose in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°He must have cultivated some sort of defensive Spiritual Secret Technique. Continuing to fight this way, someone¡¯s going to die.¡±


    ¡°Little Star, can you understand what they¡¯re saying?¡± Alicia responded mentally.


    ¡°I understand. It¡¯s just a Secret Language,¡± the youthful voice replied: ¡°But understanding it is useless. You¡¯ve only reached level 29 in spiritual power after consuming the Heavenly Materials Treasures, far from exhibiting the true power of the Spiritual Secret Techniques I¡¯ve taught you¡­ If you had Flying Heaven level spiritual power, you¡¯d have a chance to win.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s not working, just run,¡±


    ¡°Ditch that deadweight Kross and hand control of your body to me,¡± the youthful voice urged: ¡°I guarantee we can escape with our lives.¡±


    ¡°If we keep delaying and you get injured, we won¡¯t be able to escape later,¡± the youthful voice said.


    ¡°No way!¡±


    Alicia firmly refused: ¡°It was Kross who came to save me at the start, how could I abandon him?¡±


    ¡°What do we do then? It wasn¡¯t easy for me to train you up,¡± the youthful voice sounded anxious as well.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic.¡±


    ¡°Little Star, if we hold them off, there¡¯s a chance,¡± Alicia responded fiercely: ¡°Reinforcements are almost here.¡±


    She was waiting!


    Why had she taken Kross and fled in this direction? She had received orders from an external base¡¯s command.


    Just then, suddenly!


    Boom!


    From the distant horizon, a faint rumble of the earth¡¯s trembling reached them, very slight, imperceptible to the common person.


    But the five brawling Prime Warriors, each capable of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, had perception abilities far beyond ordinary people.


    Almost at the same moment,


    Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom couldn¡¯t help but glance over, seeing a figure speeding toward them from several kilometers away on the mountain ridge above, at an astonishing velocity of nearly 180 meters per second.


    The figure swept across the Vast Sky, momentum breathtaking.


    Alicia and Kross, too, glanced over with their peripheral vision, seeing the figure rushing towards them, his body faintly radiating an earth-yellow glow.


    His face wasn¡¯t clear.


    But the two of them, through the prompt on their smart rings, instantly understood¡ªNumber 0001 had arrived.


    Li Yuan had come!!


    And from Li Yuan¡¯s running speed, they could both infer that he had completed his breakthrough.


    ¡°We¡¯re saved.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re saved,¡± the youthful voice echoed instantly in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°That little freak has come; no need to run anymore.¡±


    ¡°Shut up.¡±


    Alicia coldly responded, her long sword whistling through the air, more determined than ever in fending off Lei Wu¡¯s violent assaults.

    Chapter 336: Chapter 237: Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Pass) _2


    She knew full well that this was the most dangerous moment.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Kross too had gone mad, his eyes faintly tinged red as he desperately fended off the attacks from Dong Ming and Mai Ka.


    The two fought on while moving closer to the rapidly approaching Li Yuan.


    In their desperate resistance, Lei Wu and his two companions were, for the moment, unable to take down Alicia and Kross.


    ¡°Enemy reinforcements are coming.¡±


    ¡°Such speed, must be a Fifth Stage 20th-level Prime Warrior.¡±


    ...


    From Li Yuan¡¯s burst of speed alone, Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka could tell that the newcomer was trouble.


    ¡°Dong Ming, go intercept him,¡± Lei Wu issued the command.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    The fiery red, burly figure holding a long spear instantly shook off Kross and turned into a streak of fiery red light, charging toward Li Yuan who was now within a kilometer of the battlefield.


    ¡°A genius from the Seven Star Civilization, that¡¯s all there is to it.¡±


    ¡°My physical quality is close to 21st level, and I also possess Fifth Stage skills! Intercept? I¡¯ll have to kill you,¡± said the fiery red, burly figure confidently, a core prodigy from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Faced with a genius from the Seven Star Civilization, he couldn¡¯t help but adopt a ¡®condescending attitude.¡¯


    And the three of them had been on a killing spree all the way here.


    They had swept through large areas for hours without any obstruction, continuously slaughtering as they went, and even when encountering Alicia and Kross, they were still dominating the fight.


    How could they not feel confident?


    Boom! The fiery red, burly figure¡¯s speed soared to 180 meters per second, his limit in the Unity of Heaven and Man state.


    Rumbling~ S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The two figures raced across the earth, one entirely khaki like a small boulder, the other like a flaming meteor¡­ The ground trembled; within seconds, they had crossed over a kilometer and finally collided head-on.


    ¡°Die.¡± The fiery red, burly figure bellowed angrily, his spear thrusting out like a dragon emerging from the sea, viciously aimed at the plummeting Li Yuan.


    The ferocity of this thrust caused the air itself to boom with a resonating blast.


    Dong Ming believed that even Lei Wu would have to slightly dodge the sharpness of this spear thrust.


    Boom! Li Yuan, who had just neared the battlefield and saw that Alicia and her companions seemed to still be holding on, had deliberately concealed his speed, but now he finally summoned all his Vigor in that instant.


    His speed leapt from 180 meters per second, suddenly increasing by a significant margin.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Dong Ming¡¯s face changed slightly, sensing Li Yuan¡¯s aura suddenly become as fierce as a primitive beast.


    But it was too late for him to respond.


    ¡°Damn you, it¡¯s you!¡± An enraged shout exploded like thunder.


    Boom! A terrifying spiritual shock, like a surging river, instantly swept over everything.


    ¡°Pong~¡± Dong Ming, a core prodigy of the Divine Kingdom with naturally extraordinary talent and very respectable spiritual power, having reached 25th level¡­ However, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had also greatly increased.


    Jumping from 30.5 to 31.4 level, such an increase in foundation after surpassing 30th level¡­ was tremendously exaggerated.


    Like a heavy hammer smashing down, it momentarily stunned Dong Ming¡¯s mind.


    And in the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, Li Yuan was unleashing a Spiritual Secret Technique in that instant.


    Whoosh!


    His Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust out, with the explosive force of over 300,000 kilograms; a thrust like a myriad of stars filling the vast sky, the force swirling like a vortex, each spear tip imbued with unstoppable terror.


    True Intent Killing Move¡ªGalactic Spiral.


    This defensive move, used for the offense, was equally terrifying, capable of vastly enhancing the Spear Technique¡¯s power.


    ¡°Tear!¡±


    With the tremendous force, the thrust instantly shook open Dong Ming¡¯s instinctively thrust spear, and the spear tip then struck his body, piercing straight through the surface Origin Power defense and thoroughly penetrating the Origin Power Battle Suit.


    A thrust pierced through.


    The impact burst forth!


    ¡°No!!¡± Dong Ming¡¯s excruciating pain snapped him back to clarity, followed by endless fear flashing in his eyes.


    ¡°Tear~¡±


    Dong Ming¡¯s burly body, along with his Origin Power Battle Garment, was already torn into two halves.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan did not hesitate and immediately dashed forward, thrusting his spear out swiftly once more!


    He struck directly at Dong Ming¡¯s half-body¡¯s head that was thrown into the air.


    ¡°Pong~¡± The head instantly exploded!


    The core prodigy of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, ¡®Dong Ming,¡¯ died!


    The most fatal weak point of a Prime Warrior was the ¡®head¡¯; otherwise, even if the body was half-destroyed, the heart shattered¡­ if there were precious life-saving items, there was still a chance of survival.


    The life that has stepped onto the extraordinary path cannot be equated with the life that has not.


    Thus, in combat with Prime Warriors, the best way to confirm the enemy¡¯s death.


    Was to destroy the head.


    ¡°[You have slain a Second-Rank being, obtained spiritual nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 38.7%]¡± A prompt from the Divine Palace flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s vision.


    The reason for such a large increase.


    It was because on his way here, Li Yuan had casually killed an ordinary Prime Warrior of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡­ plus several First Rank Martial Artists.


    Actually.


    The current team of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was centered around Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka, with over a hundred people concentrated within a radius of dozens of kilometers to search¡­ Once someone encountered trouble, they would transmit a message to let Lei Wu and the others rush over.


    These hundred-plus people were like a giant grinding mill, crushing all the strong warriors of the Seven Star Civilization they encountered along the way.


    That¡¯s why Alicia and the others were discovered so quickly.


    Similarly.


    Once Li Yuan broke in, it also meant there was a complete hope of inflicting a devastating blow on the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team in a very short time.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan, who killed Dong Ming with two shots.


    Did not bother to pick up the spoils of war.


    Instead, like a bolt of lightning, his movement speed did not diminish in the slightest, continuing to kill towards the distant Lei Wu and Mai Ka.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Killed Dong Ming in a single encounter?¡± Both Lei Wu and Mai Ka were shocked at the sight.


    They had thought that even if Dong Ming couldn¡¯t stop this newly supported Seven Star Civilization Prime Warrior, delaying him should be no problem.


    Who could have imagined, with just one encounter, Dong Ming was dead.


    ¡°Where did this monster come from?¡± Mai Ka¡¯s heart trembled.


    ¡°Even for me, going all out to kill Dong Ming would take dozens of moves, a single encounter?¡± Lei Wu was even more shocked in his heart, ¡°If my combat power is 600, this person¡¯s combat strength is definitely over 1000!¡±


    ¡°This guy, at least, is a Semi Divine Level genius, absolutely the primary force of the Seven Star Civilization that has killed their way in, I am no match for him.¡±


    ¡°Escape!¡±


    Boom! Boom! Lei Wu and Mai Ka transmitted messages like lightning while they didn¡¯t hesitate to flee.


    No choice!


    Li Yuan¡¯s display of overwhelming dominance completely intimidated the two of them.


    ¡°Pursue and kill.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t run.¡± Alicia, Kross wanted to pursue but felt somewhat helpless.


    The previous battle had caused significant damage to their bodies.


    ¡­ ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Both Kross and Alicia were shocked and excited in their hearts.


    They knew Li Yuan was powerful, that once he broke through to become a Prime Warrior, he¡¯d definitely be more terrifying, but they hadn¡¯t expected him to be terrifying to this extent.


    ¡°Escaping for their lives?¡±


    ¡°That purple figure¡¯s speed is not inferior to mine! First kill the easier one.¡± Li Yuan quickly judged in his heart and rushed straight towards Mai Ka.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The earth trembled, Lei Wu and Mai Ka fled in separate directions, especially Lei Wu, whose Physical Quality was slightly stronger than Li Yuan¡¯s, even if his Skill Realm was slightly weaker, but altogether, his speed was not inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s.


    As for Mai Ka? His speed was fast, but Li Yuan¡¯s full-force burst was even more terrifying.


    In just over ten seconds.


    Li Yuan had caught up to Mai Ka.


    ¡°Fall.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold.


    In a battle for life and death, a clash of civilizations, he couldn¡¯t allow himself any mercy.


    Boom! A Spiritual Shock surged, dazzling Spear Light cut through the Vast Sky, directly piercing through Mai Ka¡¯s chest.


    The body tore apart, turning into a sky of blood rain, quickly splattering in all directions on the earth.


    A one-shot kill!


    ¡°Sure runs fast, speed is even slightly faster than mine.¡± Li Yuan frowned as he looked into the distance, the purple figure had already sprinted nearly two kilometers away.


    Escaping rapidly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®Spiritual Attack¡¯ depended on the range of his Divine Sense, it could only affect within a hundred meters, and the closer the distance, the better the effect¡­


    When an opponent with such outrageous physical prowess was bent on escaping, it was nearly impossible for Li Yuan to pursue and kill him.


    ¡°Wait another day.¡±


    ¡°After I consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, it won¡¯t be difficult to kill him the next time we meet.¡± Li Yuan also didn¡¯t rashly pursue.


    Now, it wasn¡¯t confirmed that this person was the strongest in the ¡®Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s¡¯ team.


    Improving his strength was most important.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan stood on the spot and quickly collected the many spoils of war left behind by ¡®Mai Ka.¡¯


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Alicia and Kross were a few seconds slower, but finally caught up.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you so much. If you hadn¡¯t come, both of us would definitely have been dead,¡± Kross said with emotion.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Alicia¡¯s battle garment hood fell, revealing her golden hair and blue eyes, which were strikingly beautiful and full of exotic charm, ¡°thank you.¡±


    ¡°Kross, Alicia, how are both of you?¡± It was only then that Li Yuan turned to look at the two.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Alicia said with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯m a bit injured, but it¡¯s not serious. With some life-preserving items that I prepared, I should recover in a few hours,¡± Kross also said with a smile.


    ...


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    This trip into the World within Worlds was fraught with great risk.


    Therefore, whether it was the seven great prodigies or the ordinary Prime Warriors, all carried a considerable number of treasures.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your strength is too formidable,¡± Kross couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°the few we fought against, whose strength was clearly on par with ours, were casually dealt with by you in a single encounter.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    The two he had just killed were far inferior in physical quality, and to be precise, only half as strong as him. Their skills were also weaker, probably at the Fifth Stage Initial Rank¡­ indeed talented, but not much in front of him.


    Geniuses? One should know that within the higher-ups of the Seven Star Alliance, he was acknowledged as a top-tier genius in the entire history of the civilization, and absolutely the first among his peers.


    Even without the Spiritual Secret Technique, Li Yuan was confident he could kill them within twenty moves.


    With the Spiritual Secret Technique, it was decisive.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, I¡¯m not strong enough, letting the last one escape,¡± Li Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Kross and Alicia were both taken aback.


    Not strong enough?


    ¡°Li Yuan, your Physical Quality should have reached level 22, right?¡± Alicia asked curiously.


    ¡°Uh-huh,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, as there was nothing to hide about this.


    Both of their skill realms were extremely high, and they could roughly estimate from the speed, strength, and power of the moves he deployed.


    ¡°The Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯s effect is really good,¡± Kross said with emotion, ¡°but only in your hands can it produce such a great effect; it would be somewhat wasted on us.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t used the Myriad Life Extension Fruit yet,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t used the Myriad Life Extension Fruit?¡± Kross and Alicia were shocked.


    This was completely beyond their expectations.


    ¡°Li Yuan, without using the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, how can your Physical Quality be so strong?¡± Alicia couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    She had used the Hundred Star Fruit to break through and establish her Sea of Source Energy, becoming a Martial Artist, but her Physical Quality only just reached level 20.1.


    She couldn¡¯t fathom how, without using the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, Li Yuan¡¯s strength could become so formidable.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°After I made a breakthrough, following the high-ranked Cultivation Methods and the Law Creation experiences of the predecessors¡­ I awakened three Star Meridians at once, one of which has already awakened to the level of the Fifth Layer Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Awakened three Star Meridians all at once?¡± Kross and Alicia were completely flabbergasted upon hearing this.


    Their horizons were very high and they naturally understood the difference between the number of Star Meridians and the layers of Star Meridians.


    If Li Yuan had cultivated high-rank Cultivation Methods from the beginning and awakened to the Fifth Layer, they would understand.


    But the key point was, based on what they knew about Li Yuan, he hadn¡¯t awakened martial spirit at all.


    How could he be such a monster?


    ¡°Alicia!!¡±


    ¡°A genius! A true genius!¡± S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°He hadn¡¯t even cultivated any cultivation methods and became a Prime Warrior in one step?¡± A juvenile voice screeched in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°If what he said is true, then it means his Star Meridian potential is extremely high, exaggeratedly so.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why he could immediately elevate his Life Level to level 22 upon his breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°Then, he may very well have the potential to awaken Seven Star Veins, Nine Layer Star Veins. It¡¯s just too monstrous.¡±


    ¡°How could your Fourth Level Civilization give birth to such a monstrous genius.¡±


    ¡°Little Star, are Seven Star Veins, Nine Layer Star Veins that strong?¡± Alicia asked with confusion.


    She was aware of the basic concepts of Star Meridians and Star Techniques, but her vision wasn¡¯t as broad as Li Yuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Strong? It¡¯s monstrous!!¡±


    ¡°Even among the vast dimensions of the cosmos, in those extremely powerful nations and sects, Seven Star Veins qualify as top-notch geniuses,¡± the juvenile voice vibrated with a hint of excitement, ¡°To develop and awaken one Star Meridian to Nine Layers is the foundation of cultivating the Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°If one can wield an offensive Supreme Star Technique proficiently, it would be very easy to slay a Demigod of the Flying Heaven.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity.¡±


    ¡°He was born in your weak Fourth Level Civilization, making his rise to prominence much more difficult¡­ If you want to surpass this Li Yuan, it¡¯s really a bit difficult. He¡¯s not just a little monster, he¡¯s a great one,¡± the juvenile voice lamented.


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you saying that you¡¯re definitely able to make me surpass Li Yuan?¡± Alicia replied with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s different! Different!¡± the juvenile voice exclaimed, ¡°You need to understand, if what Li Yuan just said is true, and not bragging¡­ coupled with his Comprehension talent, if he were in a high-level civilization, even Divine beings would scramble to take him as a disciple.¡±


    ¡°Being sought after by Divine beings as a disciple?¡± Alicia was shaken inwardly.


    She knew Little Star was powerful; in Little Star¡¯s words, even a Demigod seemed not much¡­ But towards Divine beings, Little Star still maintained great reverence.


    ¡°Being sought after by Divine beings as a disciple, what does that say about Li Yuan¡¯s potential?¡± Little Star replied.


    ¡­


    Alicia¡¯s communication with the resident wraith.


    Li Yuan, of course, had no idea about all this, and he didn¡¯t really have a clear concept of the true significance of the information he had revealed.

    ¡°`


    In Li Yuan¡¯s opinion, revealing that he had awakened three Star Meridians at once, though it was an exaggeration, still fell within a reasonable range and could be attributed to his exceptional talent.


    And the reason Li Yuan wanted to reveal this to Kross and Alicia was a simple one.


    He intended to use the two of them to convey the message to the higher-ups of the alliance.


    This was to lay the groundwork for directly taking the possible ¡°Earth Origin Crystals¡± that might exist within the Worlds within Worlds later on.


    At the same time, it was also to lay the groundwork for revealing his extraordinary talent potential to the alliance¡¯s top brass after leaving the World within Worlds¡­ after all, according to Li Yuan¡¯s plan, he would have to gradually reveal his ¡°Nine Layers Star Vein¡± potential in order to receive the best cultivation from the entire civilization.


    ...


    ¡°Conceal my talent?¡±


    ¡°No! I concealed the talent of my Star Meridians when I was at the First Rank because it was beyond reasonable limits,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°But now I have stepped into the Second Rank, so even if I gradually awaken the Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins¡­ it would all still be within a reasonable range.¡±


    There is a difference between someone growing to three meters tall and someone sprouting a pair of wings.


    ¡°I have talent, and the support of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.¡±


    ¡°But I also need to strive for the best external cultivation conditions,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Only then can I advance faster and more stably.¡±


    How far a person can go depends on personal talent, but it¡¯s also inseparable from external conditions.


    ¡­


    The three of them communicated at an extremely fast pace.


    Swiftly, Li Yuan, Kross, and Alicia pooled together their recovered items.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take half of all the treasures, and you two each take a quarter, how about that?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, they¡¯re all yours. If it weren¡¯t for you, we both would be dead,¡± Kross and Alicia both shook their heads.


    Divide half? The two of them still had some self-awareness.


    Moreover, as geniuses, they also had their pride.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take eighty percent of the treasures,¡± Li Yuan did not insist. ¡°Each of you will take roughly ten percent.¡±


    ¡°You also contributed, had you not held them back, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill them,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly.


    Ultimately.


    Convinced by Li Yuan, Kross and Alicia each accepted a portion of the treasures.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what¡¯s the next move? Continue hunting down the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors?¡± Kross inquired. ¡°According to the information gathered by us martial artists, there should now be quite a number of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors gathered around us.¡±


    The quick convergence of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s warriors and the relentless inquiry by the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s powerhouses naturally garnered attention.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not,¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry at this moment. I would rather first consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡± Li Yuan said softly. ¡°When my strength reaches its peak, I can then go directly to the outskirts of the Divine Palace ruins and annihilate the core experts of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    Li Yuan was very cautious.


    Although his Spiritual Awakening Level was close to 39%, theoretically, by killing five or six Second Rank Alien Race members¡­ Li Yuan was more worried that there might be existences stronger than Lei Wu among the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s forces.


    If encountered, could he be certain of winning?


    Better to lie low and grow first, and hunt with greater strength later.


    Martial Arts Cultivation and staking life on adventures despise reckless and meaningless bravery.


    Sooner or later, the Spiritual Awakening Level will reach 40%; what difference does it make a little sooner or a little later?


    In fact.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the need to rescue Alicia and the others, Li Yuan would definitely continue his Concealed Cultivation and completely assimilate the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit before coming out of seclusion.


    ¡°That might be best,¡±


    ¡°The vicinity of the Divine Palace ruins indeed holds the top battle strength of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom,¡± Alicia asserted.


    In the few hours while Li Yuan was in seclusion, the thousands of martial artists from the Seven Star Civilization explored the whole World within Worlds. Naturally, some ventured too near the Divine Palace ruins¡­ all died in battle.


    Even two Prime Warriors had died.


    However, the news they sent back before dying clearly indicated there was a formidable enemy.


    ¡°Do not approach the Divine Palace ruins for now,¡± Li Yuan said softly. ¡°After this battle, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom will surely be wary of me.¡±


    ¡°You two join the other martial artists first and explore the other areas of the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t stray too far from me; if you encounter danger, immediately seek my help.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Kross and Alicia nodded without hesitation.


    Unknowingly, they had completely positioned themselves as subordinates.


    ¡­


    Soon after, the three of them separated.


    Li Yuan left alone, this time choosing a direction away from the Divine Palace ruins, and escaped over twenty kilometers.


    ¡°`


    Just now, on an inconspicuous Gobi desert, he searched for an inconspicuous pit.


    He hid inside it.


    ¡°Here, it¡¯s over 20 kilometers from where the battle just took place, and over 180 kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Within a short time, even the top warriors from Gu Yue Divine Palace would find it difficult to locate me.¡±


    He completely released his spiritual power.


    Concentrating his spirit, he calmed his mind, and after dozens of seconds, Li Yuan¡¯s heart became completely tranquil.


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his palm, a translucent white fruit appeared in his hand. The surface of the fruit faintly shimmered with divine light and emitted a strange and intoxicating fragrance.


    ¡°A Fourth Rank treasure.¡±


    ¡°How will it enhance my physical quality with a single use?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed with anticipation.


    He had no plans to save the treasure for trading later.


    Swallowed to secure, enhancing strength to cope with the imminent great battle.


    He opened his mouth.


    ¡°Pfft~¡± Li Yuan, who already knew the effect of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, ate and swallowed it in a few bites. It melted instantly upon entering his mouth.


    Just after swallowing it.


    Hiss~ A refreshing sensation immediately rose from his abdomen and shot straight to the crown of his head, sending him into an invigorating shudder.


    Too exhilarating.


    ¡°The Myriad Life Extension Fruit, containing immense energy, is generally painless to use as long as the body can bear it,¡± Li Yuan thought with great joy.


    Rapidly.


    Hum~ Hum~ Invisible forces began to surge from his abdomen into the tendons and bones of his limbs and skeletal structure,


    Instantly, his body parts, which had ceased evolving, commenced a new round of transformation.


    Li Yuan felt his whole body subtly trembling, his bones becoming stronger, and his muscles, flesh, hair¡­ every part of his body relentlessly grew stronger!!


    ¡°[Your life level has increased from 22.2 to 22.3]¡±


    ¡°[Your life level has increased from 22.3 to 22.4]¡± As time went by, a series of Divine Palace notifications flickered past Li Yuan¡¯s line of sight. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Astonishing transformation.


    Leap-like growth.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s realm of skill, he didn¡¯t feel the slightest discomfort from the rapid transformation of his body.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan consumed the Myriad Life Extension Fruit and a new round of transformation began.


    About eighty kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins, on the vast barren land.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The towering redhead with a black-robed, chubby man finally spotted a purple-robed figure rushing towards them.


    ¡°Lei Wu,¡± the burly redhead said in a deep voice, looking at the disheveled Lei Wu, ¡°What exactly happened? You only sent a message saying that you encountered a great enemy and asked us to retreat immediately. What kind of great enemy is it?¡±


    ¡°Are Dong Ming and Mai Ka really dead?¡± The black-robed chubby man couldn¡¯t help but speak up, his eyes slightly red, as he had a good relationship with the two.


    Whoosh!


    Lei Wu flopped down on a rock, finally breathing a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing a trace of fear as he looked at the two and said, ¡°Would I lie to you?¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t faced him in reality, you simply don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°The genius sent by the Seven Star Civilization is terrifyingly strong, his physical quality is close to mine, and his skill level is even higher than mine,¡± Lei Wu continued with lingering fear in his eyes, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t escaped quickly, I would have been killed by him too.¡±


    The burly redhead and the black-robed chubby man exchanged glances, a shock visible in their eyes.


    They knew well how powerful Lei Wu was.


    And how arrogant Lei Wu could be.


    To be driven to such a state? To flee in a panic, was that Seven Star Civilization genius that strong?


    ¡°Tie Mu¡¯er, how¡¯s the situation with the message you sent to Mintian Hou asking for reinforcements?¡± Lei Wu turned to the burly redhead, ¡°If there are no reinforcements, I plan to leave the relics¡¯ world. I don¡¯t want to die here.¡±


    ¡°The reinforcements are almost here.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve already reached the Star Realm base and should be entering the remains world at any moment,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er quickly said, ¡°Just ten minutes ago, General Shan Yun sent me a message.¡±


    ¡°The reinforcements, who are they?¡± Lei Wu asked.


    ¡°Mo Hu! And he has brought a large number of First Rank warriors with him,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er said solemnly.


    ¡°Mo Hu, he¡¯s willing to risk coming here?¡± Lei Wu¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, ¡°He¡¯s a Semi Divine Level genius, probably the only one under Mintian Hou¡¯s command, right?¡±


    The five of them, though elite under Mintian Hou¡¯s command with the potential to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But such elites, and a Semi Divine Level genius, have an essential difference.

 Chapter 339 - 239 Shocking! The Effect of Rare Treasures (Additional 32)

    Chapter 339: Chapter 239 Shocking! The Effect of Rare Treasures (Additional 32)


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, as a powerful civilization that gave birth to divine beings¡­ is fundamentally different from the Seven Star Civilization.


    The Seven Star Civilization, due to the imperfection of the Martial Path, has to date only seven High Rank Cultivation Methods; thus, many martial arts talents have not been truly selected for various reasons.


    But the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with years of accumulation, has a better cultivation environment and a wider variety of cultivation techniques, resulting in an astonishing number of emerging elites among the younger generation.


    Given the same population, the number of Martial Artists born is more than ten times that of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Therefore, within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, there are many elite talents like Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu who have the potential to achieve ¡®Flying Heaven¡¯.


    But!!


    ...


    Moving up, real talents who have the hope of becoming Demigods? In some ways, they are even rarer than a talent like Dantai Feng.


    The numbers are very small.


    Mintian Hou, as a powerful duke of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, is a true Semi-Divine being¡­ and cannot directly command the Semi-Divine Level talents within the kingdom.


    Semi-Divine Level talents.


    Each one is a talent highly valued by the upper echelons of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    ¡°Mo Hu is merely born from a territory owned by Mintian Hou, and cannot be said to be his subordinate,¡± the short and plump man in black said solemnly, ¡°It must be that Mintian Hou lured him with treasures.¡±


    ¡°Still, I remember Mo Hu is only at the 19th Level, right? To push him rapidly to Prime Warrior, Mintian Hou must have paid a heavy price,¡± the man in black murmur regretfully.


    ¡°Mmm.¡±


    Both Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu nodded, harboring great respect for Mintian Hou and willing to follow his commands.


    But up to this point, they find this mission exceptionally challenging.


    The backlash from the Seven Star Civilization is beyond their expectations.


    ¡°Since Mo Hu has come, he must have brought a Fourth Rank treasure with him. Once he breaks through his Physical Quality, he¡¯ll definitely grow stronger rapidly, and killing the Seven Star Civilization talent mentioned by Lei Wu shouldn¡¯t be difficult,¡± the light flickered in the eyes of the man in black.


    He deeply desired to avenge the deaths of his two close friends, Dong Ming and Mai Ka.


    ¡°In theory, that is true,¡± the slender man in purple robes, ¡®Lei Wu¡¯, said softly, ¡°However, before Mo Hu completes his breakthrough, I suggest we retreat first.¡±


    ¡°And instruct everyone to pull back.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to clash head-on with the people from the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Lei Wu shook his head, ¡°After all, we¡¯re no longer in a position to gain the greatest benefits, preserving life is more important.¡± S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Lei Wu is correct,¡± the bulky, red-haired man spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Given the situation¡¯s ambiguity, Mo Hu¡­ may not necessarily win, and even if he does, he will be the primary contributor. What great merit would we have then?¡±


    ¡°Our priority is to survive.¡±


    The three quickly reached a consensus.


    If it were when they had first invaded the World within Worlds, relying on surprise attacks to sweep away the First Rank and Second Rank Martial Artists of the Blazing Flame Family, they were full of ambition, aiming to establish grand merits and even more so to uncover the true secrets of this relic world.


    But now?


    Having witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying strength, along with the arrival of the Semi-Divine Level talent Mo Hu¡­ they had all calmed down.


    The battle for the World within Worlds has become extremely hazardous for them.


    A mere misstep could lead to their demise.


    ¡­


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯s war base, within that oversized conference room.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan managed to kill talents on the same level as Alicia and the others in just one encounter?¡±


    ¡°Killed two and one fled?¡± Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe anticipated this and remained composed.


    But Tavares, Abbott, and the Blazing Cloud Fox were somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing the news.


    That¡¯s excessively valiant.


    ¡°Blazing Cloud Fox, are you satisfied now?¡± Wu Manong said coldly, ¡°Still have any objections about Li Yuan? If not for him, I doubt your family¡¯s century-old foundation would have been preserved.¡±


    ¡°I was wrong, Li Yuan is indeed formidable,¡± Blazing Cloud Fox admitted, ¡°After the war is over and the World within Worlds is under our control, I will be sure to thank Li Yuan in person.¡±


    This scene somewhat surprised Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others.


    A respectable Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Resilient and adaptable!


    ¡°Old Yu, come out for a moment,¡± Wu Manong whispered suddenly.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded, aware of what Wu Manong wanted to discuss with him.


    It was about the secret message passed by Alicia and Kross.


    ¡°Tavares, you take command for now,¡± Wu Manong instructed before leaving the conference room with Yu Jinghe.


    ¡­


    The two arrived in another conference room.


    ¡°Did you see the message too?¡± Yu Jinghe asked softly.


    ¡°Hmm, the authority to receive secret messages is limited to just you and me,¡± Wu Manong replied gravely, ¡°It just feels¡­ somewhat incredible to me.¡±


    ¡°To not use Myriad Life Extension Fruit, yet directly surge to the 22nd Level in Physical Quality, it truly is unbelievable,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s voice carried a hint of amazement, ¡°But if what Alicia and the others said is true¡­ and if Li Yuan indeed awakened three Star Meridians in one go, with one reaching the Fifth Layer, then his rapid increase in Physical Quality is also not impossible.¡±


    ¡°I always considered myself a genius, and I find it difficult to concede to anyone,¡± Wu Manong shook his head slightly, ¡°But compared to Li Yuan¡­ I indeed fall short by a lot.¡±


    ¡°Do not be too hard on yourself,¡± Yu Jinghe smiled, ¡°On the path of the Martial Path, focus on oneself, why bother about others?¡±


    ¡°For us,¡±


    ¡°The stronger Li Yuan is, the better, right?¡± Yu Jinghe laughed, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing for our entire Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°I know it¡¯s a good thing,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just, such monstrous talents have only been heard of emerging from godly civilizations before,¡± Wu Manong said with a sense of sentiment, ¡°The era of the Hall Master¡­ is too far removed from us.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s just under 19, and with his Comprehension coupled with such meridian talents¡­ perhaps our Seven Star Civilization will soon produce another supreme being to rival the Hall Master,¡± Wu Manong reflected.


    ¡°Mmm,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded slightly.


    As top talents of the entire civilization, their combat power on par with Flying Heaven Warriors, they had access to many secret messages¡­ but in their hearts, Dongfang Ji had always remained at the pinnacle.


    He was the Seas Calming Divine Needle of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Report to the top,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°Submit it to the highest echelon of the Martial Hall, and let them decide.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°As for how he should be cultivated, await the command from the highest echelon.¡±


    In this operation, Wu Manong was directly in command¡­ and Yu Jinghe, in a sense, was there to supervise.


    As a genius from Xia Country and a member of the Starfire Martial Hall¡­ Yu Jinghe might not be the strongest Prime Warrior in the Seven Star Civilization, but he is definitely one of the most trusted.


    ¡­


    Though sending messages from the Star Realm is not easy, and across planets even less so,


    for matters of such importance, the highest level of communication resources are activated.


    Just ten minutes later,


    a few of the top brass from the Seven Star Alliance and Starfire Martial Hall were already aware of some details regarding Li Yuan and the World within Worlds.


    Above Kunlun Martial University on Blue Star,


    inside a giant saucer-shaped flying craft, within the Quiet Cultivation Room, a large screen was projecting an image.


    ¡°Haha, Fang Hai, it looks like we made the right call,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine, dressed in a white casual outfit, said with a cheerful laugh: ¡°Li Yuan indeed has immense potential.¡±


    ¡°His Star Meridian talent is even stronger than we imagined,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said excitedly.


    As the first Semi-Divine and the actual leader of Xia Country,


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine pays close attention to any new talent born in Xia Country and places great importance on the younger generation.


    Yu Jinghe has done very well, and he is very satisfied.


    But compared to Yu Jinghe, it is Li Yuan¡¯s Transformation level that really caught his attention.


    ¡°When do you plan to tell your teacher?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Fang Hai: ¡°With Li Yuan¡¯s Comprehension paired with such a Star Meridian talent, he should qualify, shouldn¡¯t he?¡±


    ¡°At least, our Seven Star Civilization probably hasn¡¯t had such a monstrous talent before,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine remarked.


    In fact, Li Yuan himself could not have imagined the shock that his slight revelations had caused among the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Indeed not.¡±


    ¡°Even Xue Bu Semi-Divine doesn¡¯t seem to have a Star Meridian talent like Li Yuan,¡± Fang Hai whispered: ¡°But there is no need to hurry, for now it¡¯s only the word of a few combatant geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, Li Yuan is still inside that divine ruin and hasn¡¯t returned.¡±


    ¡°Once he comes back, if I personally verify that it¡¯s as reported today,¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°I will naturally report to my master.¡±


    ¡°By then, my master will surely be very pleased as well.¡±


    ¡°That works too,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded.


    ¡°By the way, have you verified what the Blazing Flame Family said?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked: ¡°Did that little girl, Lin Lanyue, really enter?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not certain.¡±


    ¡°We are helpless since it¡¯s a divine relic located in the Second Level Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai shook his head: ¡°All we can do is let Li Yuan and the others fight it out.¡±


    ¡°As for Mintian Hou¡­even though Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is powerful, he is just a common marquis and should only have limited resources at his disposal; his subordinates are unlikely to possess a First Rank Life Level genius capable of defeating Li Yuan,¡± Fang Hai added.


    Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is well-versed in the Seven Star Civilization.


    Similarly, for the Seven Star Civilization to stand tall, grow stronger over the centuries, and gradually infiltrate numerous star realms¡­ it naturally has its own sources of intelligence.


    In just a few days,


    the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization had already confirmed that the one vying for the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ against them was none other than Mintian Hou from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    ¡­


    As the outside world was in turmoil, Li Yuan, who was in the World within Worlds, was naturally unaware, for he had been fully digesting the miraculous effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit.


    Time passed, and the torrential, endless vitality almost completely submerged him.


    His Physical Quality soared incessantly.


    The continuous Transformation of muscles and bones made his strength and speed increasingly terrifying; his life aura became stronger and stronger.


    Most importantly, it was the vitality of his body¡¯s flesh and cell tissues¡­ Li Yuan could clearly feel that the vast majority of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯s energy was spent on enhancing cellular vitality.


    After a full six hours,


    the effectiveness of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit finally depleted, and Li Yuan¡¯s Transformation came to a halt.


    ¡°Finally, the Transformation is complete.¡±


    ¡°A precious treasure of the Fourth Rank, invaluable, is just gone like that,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, opening his eyes, a glint flashing through them.


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze also swept over his Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª-


    [Life Level: 23.7 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 281,000 kilograms


    Speed: 215 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 31.8


    Willpower: 33


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 38.9% (Current upper limit 40%)


    ¡­


    ¡°Life Level 23.7,¡±


    Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling the terrifying, surging power within him: ¡°Fist Strength has increased by about 90,000 kilograms in one go.¡±


    ¡°Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?¡±


    ¡°What do you have to stop me?¡± Li Yuan stood up and walked to the cave entrance.

 Chapter 340 - 240 Five Elements Divine Crystal

    Chapter 340: Chapter 240 Five Elements Divine Crystal


    A few days ago, when Wu Manong introduced it.


    He had mentioned the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, stating that its primary effect was increasing the vitality of the body¡¯s flesh and bones, with improving physical quality being secondary¡­ Among fourth rank treasures, very few can directly enhance physical quality without any side effects.


    Body vitality, such as limb regeneration, refers to greatly enhanced healing and life-preserving abilities.


    Now that Li Yuan has personally used it, he can confirm that Wu Manong¡¯s words were no fabrication.


    ¡°From level 20 to level 22, Basic Fist Strength increased from 80,000 kilograms to 180,000 kilograms,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°And I went from level 22.2 to level 23.7¡­ Similarly, that¡¯s an increase of nearly 90,000 kilograms in Fist Strength.¡±


    The higher the Life Level, the more astonishing the gap in strength becomes.


    ...


    ¡°In just a few days.¡±


    ¡°My physical quality has multiplied several times over,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with light: ¡°Has my strength not increased by more than tenfold?¡±


    The same physical quality can lead to different levels of combat power in the hands of different people.


    This time entering the World within Worlds has resulted in a drastic transformation for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Now if I run into Uncle Wan in a fight to the death, I estimate it would take about thirty moves to defeat him¡­ Hmm, Uncle Wan is my elder, I shouldn¡¯t think like this,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly, then immediately smiled again: ¡°In any case, Uncle Wan is no longer my match.¡±


    Wan Qinghe, the ¡®Starfire GuanShan Sub-Hall Master¡¯, who over a year ago seemed incredibly powerful in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Unknowingly, Li Yuan had truly surpassed him.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go.¡±


    ¡°First, I need to find Alicia and Si Feng and the others,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes quickly glanced at the Divine Palace panel: ¡°But the most important thing is to push my Spiritual Awakening Level up to 40%.¡±


    I¡¯m only 1.1% away from the 40% Awakening Level.


    In theory, just five or six more kills of Second Rank members of the Alien Race should suffice.


    Once attained, opening the fourth infusion of Origin Power, Li Yuan expects his Physical Quality will surge once again.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°In this World within Worlds, Second Rank members of the Alien Race don¡¯t seem to be as common as cabbages,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    ¡­


    The World within Worlds has a maximum diameter of 500 kilometers.


    Among the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, there are two particularly special places. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The first are the exits scattered throughout the World within Worlds, so numerous they make the scalp tingle, almost impossible to guard completely. This is also why the Blazing Flame Family fell victim to stealth attacks.


    The second is the central Relic Divine Palace, which has been raided multiple times by the younger members of the Blazing Flame Family throughout history.


    The Relic Divine Palace contains the greatest secrets of the entire World within Worlds.


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family, Lanyue vanished without a trace, most likely having entered the interior of the Relic Divine Palace,¡± Li Yuan naturally hadn¡¯t forgotten his initial purpose for entering the World within Worlds.


    While on the move.


    Li Yuan also had communicated with Kross, Alicia, and others, getting a clear picture of the current situation.


    ¡°Li Yuan, we can¡¯t find anyone,¡± Alicia¡¯s voice came through the communicator, tinged with confusion: ¡°In the first few hours when you began your closed-door cultivation, we could still find quite a few members from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°We have eliminated quite a few enemies!¡±


    ¡°But in the past two hours, even though the 3,000 plus First Rank Martial Artists are scattered across the World within Worlds, we can¡¯t find any trace at all, not a single person.¡±


    ¡°In fact, Kross, Si Feng, Bai Ya, and I have come together. Even after entering the ruins of the Divine Palace, we couldn¡¯t find any trace of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team,¡± said Alicia.


    ¡°No one? What about that Divine Kingdom master who escaped from me earlier?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°We haven¡¯t encountered him again,¡± said Alicia.


    Li Yuan fell into thought; according to previous reports, within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team, there were at least two top masters.


    One was the one who had escaped from him.


    The other was previously stationed at the relics of the Divine Palace, consistently killing many Prime Warriors from his own side.


    In terms of strength, these two masters should be stronger than Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Kross.


    Probably, only Alicia could manage to hold off one of them¡­ Li Yuan could infer a thing or two about Alicia¡¯s true strength through her battle with Lei Wu.


    But now, not one could be found?


    ¡°Could it be that these Gu Yue Divine Kingdom masters, knowing they can¡¯t beat me, have directly withdrawn from the World within Worlds?¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too worried though; if the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team left, that would be the best outcome, as it would avoid further casualties on his side¡­ As for the Spiritual Awakening Level?


    After leaving the World within Worlds, searching for some Second Rank members of the Alien Race in the Second Level Star Realm could certainly achieve the same result.


    Origin Power infusion was just to improve Physical Quality, and not Spiritual Guidance, so Li Yuan wasn¡¯t in a rush.


    ¡°Search!¡±


    ¡°Alicia, order all First Rank Martial Artists to continue searching with all their might. I suspect they are hiding, waiting for reinforcements,¡± Li Yuan issued the order: ¡°Search repeatedly to ensure no members of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom remain in the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Even if they hide, it¡¯s impossible for them to keep hiding. Once any trace is found, report it immediately.¡±


    ¡°Also, keep an eye on all known entry and exit points,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Alicia responded solemnly.


    In fact, Li Yuan¡¯s orders were very similar to the ones given by Wu Manong.


    Only repeated inquiries can confirm without doubt.


    ¡°Oh, and Li Yuan,¡± Alicia suddenly said, her voice containing a hint of surprise: ¡°We¡¯ve just got word from the team exploring large Origin Crystal mines¡ªthey¡¯ve just reported that they have nearly locked down the core location¡­ Here, there might actually be a fourth rank treasure ¡®Five Elements Divine Crystal¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Five Elements Divine Crystal?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened.


    Like the Fire Divine Crystal, Earth Origin Crystal, and so on, all can be collectively referred to as ¡®Five Elements Divine Crystal¡¯.


    ¡°Where is it?¡± Li Yuan immediately asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s about 30 kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins,¡± said Alicia. ¡°However, to truly seize the treasure, I¡¯m afraid there will be some trouble.¡±


    ¡°Trouble?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°You¡¯ll understand once you get here,¡± Alicia communicated. ¡°One Prime Warrior has already¡­ died.¡±


    ¡°Not killed by a powerful fighter of the Gu Yue Divine Palace, but died from the dangers of the ore vein itself.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m currently on my way there with Si Feng,¡± Alicia said.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s sense of caution intensified.


    The ones dispatched to the Middle Realm this time included a hundred Prime Warriors capable of direct breakthrough¡­ although for him, the strength of a Level 20 Prime Warrior was hardly worth mentioning.


    In reality, Prime Warriors possess Origin Power and can unleash a punch with the force of a hundred thousand kilograms, or move a hundred meters in a flash. In the eyes of ordinary people, they¡¯re already close to superhuman, and it is very difficult to kill them with common natural dangers.


    Boom!


    Transforming into a streak of light, Li Yuan slightly adjusted his direction and hurried towards the ¡®Ore Vein Core Location¡¯ sent by Alicia.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan rushed to the core of the ore vein.


    About 300 kilometers away from him, there was a continuous range of rocky gobi mountains.


    At the base of the mountain, lay an immense cavern illuminated by a few lights.


    At this moment, Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the black-clothed, portly man, all intent on surviving, were waiting here.


    With them were nearly twenty ordinary Prime Warriors and dozens of First Rank Martial Artists.


    Conserve strength!


    Avoid further casualties.


    Suddenly¡ª


    The faint sound of footsteps arose from a tunnel deep within the cavern, as if an invisible pressure enveloped the whole cave.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the others instantly turned their heads to look.


    ¡°He¡¯s here,¡± Lei Wu whispered.


    Seconds later, they saw a figure in a fiery red robe enter the main chamber of the cavern. His cheeks were rosy and slightly gaunt.


    Most striking were his eyes, sharp to the extreme.


    As his piercing gaze swept over them, Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.


    ¡°Prince Mo Hu,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and several dozen others greeted him in unison, their voices echoing through the cavern.


    In the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, the status of demigod geniuses was extremely high, on par with the peak of the Flying Heaven Level.


    To anyone below the Flying Heaven Level, one must address them as ¡°Your Highness¡± as a sign of respect.


    ¡°I have completed my breakthrough,¡± declared Prince Mo Hu nonchalantly. ¡°Now, I need you to tell me everything you know about the latest intelligence on the enemy.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Among the Seven Star Civilizations, according to the data we have collected so far, there are at least five Flying Heaven Level geniuses,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er said respectfully. ¡°There may be others we haven¡¯t discovered yet, after all, we are few in number and can¡¯t possibly encounter all of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s strong fighters.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Prince Mo Hu nodded slightly.


    Flying Heaven Level geniuses? Typically, those who can reach the Fifth Stage in their artistry while at the First Rank or early Second Rank Life Level, in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, are qualified to be called ¡®Flying Heaven Level geniuses.¡¯


    ¡°Of course, with Your Highness¡¯ strength, these people aren¡¯t worth worrying about. After all, they have just broken through and their Physical Quality seems to not even reach Level 21,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er said. ¡°What we truly need to be cautious of is that suspected Demigod Level genius.¡±


    ¡°Lei Wu, you have actually fought against him. You tell the story,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er looked towards Lei Wu.


    ¡°Fought and lived?¡± Prince Mo Hu looked at Lei Wu with interest.


    ¡°Your Highness is joking,¡± Lei Wu laughed bitterly. ¡°I fled at the first opportunity, that¡¯s how I survived.¡±


    ¡°That suspected Demigod Level genius, his Physical Quality should be on par with mine, between Level 22.0 and 22.5,¡± Lei Wu said.


    ¡°Quite average,¡± Prince Mo Hu commented indifferently. ¡°The Seven Star Civilization, after all, is just a Fourth Level Civilization. Even their top geniuses coming to compete for the divine inheritance can¡¯t provide much in the way of treasures.¡±


    Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu were speechless. Like the two of them, their Physical Quality had soared to Level 22 right after their breakthrough, thanks to precious treasures they had consumed.


    In their view, Mintian Hou had paid a great price for it.


    Yet it¡¯s still ¡®quite average¡¯?


    Such words could only come from ¡®Prince Mo Hu,¡¯ a Demigod Level genius.


    After all, he was someone who could converse directly with demigods.


    Even among the many geniuses of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Prince Mo Hu was truly top-notch.


    ¡°His artistry is near the Fifth Stage High Rank,¡± Lei Wu said earnestly.


    ¡°Near the Fifth Stage High Rank?¡± Surprise flashed in Prince Mo Hu¡¯s eyes. ¡°That high?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°The key point is, I suspect he possesses a Flying Heaven Level soul, with extremely powerful Spiritual Secret Techniques,¡± Lei Wu said seriously. ¡°It¡¯s the combination that allowed him to annihilate Dong Ming and Mai Ka in one encounter.¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level soul?¡± Prince Mo Hu¡¯s gaze finally became serious.


    Then, Prince Mo Hu¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile: ¡°This trip indeed seems interesting.¡±


    ¡°Such a small Seven Star Civilization was actually able to produce a Demigod Level genius. It¡¯s a pity that his Physical Quality is just average. He can¡¯t fully utilize his artistry to compete, not worth worrying about.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Prince Mo Hu proceeded to walk out of the cave.


    ¡°Your Highness, what are we doing now?¡± Tie Mu¡¯er quickly followed and inquired.


    ¡°To the site of the relics.¡±


    ¡°If we encounter that Demigod Level genius from the Seven Star Civilization, we¡¯ll just dispose of him on the way.¡±

 Chapter 341 - 241: The Hand that Enshrouds World within Worlds? The Divine Crystal Appears!

    Chapter 341: Chapter 241: The Hand that Enshrouds World within Worlds? The Divine Crystal Appears!


    Li Yuan was unaware of the arrival of the Semi Divine Level genius ¡®Mo Hu¡¯.


    Because there was only one passage controlled by the Seven Star Civilization to enter the World within Worlds through the Luminous Passage.


    Once they entered the World within Worlds through the passage, the number of exits within it was vast. Each entrant would be randomly sent to any one of the exits¡­ So far, combined with the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, the total number of discovered exits had exceeded three hundred. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Moreover, after many trials by the Blazing Flame Family, return through any exit¡­ would lead back to the original passage.


    Guarding these exits made it easier to judge whether more reinforcements from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were coming.


    But as for how many exits remained unchecked and uncontrolled, that was unclear.


    ...


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization speculated that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom surely controlled a new passage as well as many exits unknown to their side.


    Otherwise, it would have been impossible to secretly send a large number of people into the World within Worlds.


    But as for how the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had gained control of the new passage? The Seven Star Civilization did not yet know.


    The Blazing Flame Family¡¯s previous claim to ¡®control the World within Worlds¡¯ was just guarding one passage.


    Although the Blazing Flame Family had always been exploring the World within Worlds, the true secrets of the World within Worlds? The Blazing Flame Family was also vague in their descriptions.


    In fact, when Mo Hu, along with Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and their group set out.


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the core area of the mine vein mentioned by Alicia.


    Under the continuous, vast mountain ranges.


    A rift valley approximately a hundred meters wide and several kilometers long appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s sight.


    ¡°The Five Elements Divine Crystal is in this valley?¡± Li Yuan frowned and said.


    Next to him, besides Alicia and Si Feng, there were nearly a hundred Martial Artists equipped with various instruments, most of whom were First Rank Martial Artists, but there were also five who had just broken through as Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Tong Guan, you speak.¡± Alicia whispered, ¡°This is our captain, also the strongest among us in the World within Worlds operation, number 0001.¡±


    ¡°Number 0001?¡±


    ¡°He is number 0001?¡± The five newly emerged Prime Warriors looked at Li Yuan with both curiosity and awe.


    Before entering the World within Worlds, they had already heard about the terrifying strength of this number 0001¡­ killing early Prime Warriors like themselves depended solely upon the amount of Origin Power.


    The Prime Warrior named Tong Guan, with a burly build, stepped forward respectfully and said, ¡°Senior.¡±


    Senior?


    Hearing this title, a movement stirred in Li Yuan¡¯s heart but he did not refute.


    In Martial Arts Cultivation, unless there is a clear master-disciple relationship, age is never used as a measure of seniority; strength comes first.


    Being addressed as ¡®senior¡¯ by an early Prime Warrior, Li Yuan felt that he could indeed bear such a title.


    ¡°Speak of the situation,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Tong Guan nodded, ¡°The 200 First Rank Martial Artists that our group of eight is responsible for are tasked with surveying this large Divine Crystal vein. We brought many instruments. Of course, many have died now¡­ According to the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, as we explored along the way, we finally located this place based on the fluctuations of Origin Power.¡±


    Tong Guan pointed towards the depths of the valley.


    ¡°Deep in the valley should be the core of many nodes within the entire vein,¡± Tong Guan said, his eyes revealing a hint of fear, ¡°Three of us Prime Warriors joined forces to descend, but upon reaching the bottom of the valley¡­ we encountered an attack.¡±


    ¡°An attack?¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°Strong individuals from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?¡±


    ¡°No! Not them!¡±


    ¡°They weren¡¯t humanoid creatures,¡± Tong Guan shook his head, ¡°We aren¡¯t sure if they are indigenous lifeforms of the World within Worlds or not. Their individual strength isn¡¯t too strong, probably at most level 18 or 19, but their numbers are astonishingly vast, almost like a tide¡­ The three of us had to flee in haste, Belo was the slowest, and in the act of covering us, was outright overwhelmed by the massive numbers of Alien Race lifeforms, ultimately dying at the bottom of the valley.¡±


    ¡°The two of us, in a frantic escape, finally made it out.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, these Alien Race lifeforms seem to reside habitually at the bottom of the valley, and when we rushed out, they didn¡¯t follow and surge out after us.¡±


    Toward the end,


    Tong Guan and the Martial Artists behind him all had a darkened look in their eyes.


    So far, the World within Worlds operation had already brought significant casualties to the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side.


    ¡°Sigh.¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed, turning his head to look at Alicia and the two others, ¡°Si Feng, Alicia, have you two entered to investigate?¡±


    ¡°We haven¡¯t had the chance yet,¡± Alicia said somberly, ¡°We arrived just a little before you did.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very strange,¡± Alicia frowned, ¡°Logically, with such a large Divine Crystal vein, the Blazing Flame Family should have been able to detect it in their exploration of the World within Worlds for over a hundred years, but they never did¡­ A 500-kilometer area in the World within Worlds isn¡¯t that vast.¡±


    ¡°If it was obstructed from mining by a large number of indigenous life¡­ yet the intelligence provided by the Blazing Flame Family never mentioned this aspect.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as if,¡±


    ¡°This Divine Crystal vein had only come into existence not long ago,¡± Alicia reached her own conclusion.


    Li Yuan appeared thoughtful. Under normal circumstances, for a Divine Crystal vein to form, it required long ages of gestation.


    ¡°Exactly.¡±


    Si Feng, equally burly, spoke seriously, ¡°Li Yuan, I suspect that the entire World within Worlds has always been shrouded in an invisible will, as if we are all under surveillance.¡±


    ¡°This is a divine relic site. If there is an invisible rule looming, it¡¯s quite normal,¡± Li Yuan mused aloud.


    The interconnected palatial complexes and other man-made traces near the entrance and exit of the passage had already said it all.


    Li Yuan was aware of this.


    He believed that any Prime Warrior who spent enough time here would also have such a feeling.


    ¡°I will go down alone to take a look, you all stay here,¡± Li Yuan instructed.


    ¡°Should we go down with you?¡± Alicia couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°No need,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Even if I encounter some danger, escaping by myself will be much easier.¡±


    Li Yuan asked himself.


    If the ¡®Alien Race lifeforms¡¯ at the bottom of the valley couldn¡¯t kill even an early Prime Warrior¡­ the likelihood of them posing a threat to his life should be low.


    ¡°Should we report upwards?¡± Si Feng could not help but ask.


    ¡°You can report, but the decision is ours to make,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m going down.¡±


    ¡°`


    Phew!


    With a single movement, Li Yuan was fully enveloped in his Origin Power Battle Suit, with a layer of earthy yellow energy flowing faintly around his body.


    Boom! He followed the mountain wall, rapidly descending into the depths of the canyon.


    ¡°Such impressive speed.¡±


    ¡°Is this Number 0001?¡± The several ordinary Prime Warriors were astounded and felt much more at ease.


    Having such a strong Prime Warrior leader, it would be much easier to take over the entire World within Worlds.


    ¡°Level 22, can strength and speed be this powerful?¡± Si Feng was somewhat surprised, as he was unaware of Li Yuan¡¯s one-time transformation to level 22 as a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Has he reached level 24?¡± Only Alicia understood everything.


    ¡°His improvement is so rapid.¡±


    ¡°Alicia, I estimate his physical quality has probably reached 23.5,¡± a childlike voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°You need to think of a way¡­ If you can get a Divine Crystal, it would be greatly beneficial to you.¡±


    ¡°No rush, just wait,¡± Alicia responded, a hint of worry surfacing in her heart.


    She felt both admiration and gratitude toward Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Descending swiftly along the dry canyon, Li Yuan rapidly plummeted, and the already dim light quickly turned darker.


    ¡°It feels like I¡¯m back in Flying Serpent Valley,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    The experience in Flying Serpent Valley was something he couldn¡¯t easily forget.


    The deeper he went, the broader the canyon walls became and the dimmer the light grew.


    It was as if he had entered another layer of the underground world.


    ¡°Could it be that the Blazing Flame Family truly never discovered this place?¡± A trace of doubt emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Was there really an invisible hand constantly changing the structure of the entire World within Worlds? Or did the Blazing Flame Family have some reason to conceal certain key information?


    With Divine Sense sweeping through, Li Yuan remained vigilant, fearing an ambush.


    After descending more than three kilometers, Li Yuan finally reached the bottom of the canyon. When his feet touched the rocky ground again, he had still not encountered an attack.


    The bottom of the canyon was almost in complete darkness, ordinary people here would be as blind as bats¡­ but with Li Yuan¡¯s extraordinary physical quality, he could barely make out his surroundings.


    Critically, it was his powerful spiritual power that made his perception sharp to the extreme.


    ¡°The aura of energy stones,¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and activated the three Star Meridians within his body.


    Energy stones, a type of high-energy density power stone, did not have a high value individually¡­ but their vast number and extensive applications made them very valuable.


    Standing at the ¡®mining site node convergence¡¯ Tong Guan mentioned, Li Yuan could clearly sense the air filled with the scent of Origin Power.


    ¡°The concentration is thicker over here,¡± Li Yuan vaguely sensed that the left side seemed denser.


    He moved forward.


    Step by step, the closer he got, the more intensely he could feel the concentration of Origin Power through his strong spiritual power.


    He was going in the right direction.


    In a blink, he had advanced nearly a kilometer, going deeper into the slanted base of the canyon, and Li Yuan also noticed another anomaly¡ªthe bottom of the canyon was very smooth.


    As if it had been polished by human hands.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Sss! Sss! Sss!¡± A series of dense and rapid sounds came from the quiet and dark canyon, followed by a faint tremor of the ground, prompting Li Yuan to stop.


    Phew! The Black Chen Spear was already in his hand.


    Rapidly.


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Rumble~¡± The sounds grew louder and more pronounced from all directions.


    Finally, Li Yuan¡¯s eyes observed in the darkness, combined with Divine Sense sweeping through¡­ creatures resembling black rats surged from every direction, swarming over him.


    A torrential wave, an absolutely hair-raising scene.


    They, without any hesitation, charged crazily towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    At the moment these black creatures approached, he had already employed Divine Palace Inquiry.


    ¡°[Target is level 15.1, no life signs, cannot be killed for Spiritual Nature nutrients]¡±


    ¡°[Target is level 15.3¡­]¡± A series of prompts flashed past, with results beyond his expectations.


    No life signs?


    ¡°So many.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he immediately activated the Sea of Source Energy within his body, with earthy yellow Origin Power illuminating, channeling into both the Origin Power Battle Suit and the Black Chen Spear.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    The Long Spear swung, and with the enhancement of Origin Power, it instantly burst forth like lengths of dazzling starlight, converging like a river of stars, striking at the tide-like surge of the black creatures.


    Pshht! ¡°Pop!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    The screeching black creatures either exploded upon impact, as if striking a steel plate, or were instantly swept away like cannonballs, crashing into more of their kind.


    In the blink of an eye, at least a hundred black creatures had been slain by Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°No mistake! It¡¯s the aura of Earth Origin Crystals!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes tensed, keenly catching a wave of Divine Crystal aura coming from afar.


    It seemed, not too far away.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan was enveloped in endless Spear Light, himself like an indestructible miniature star, sweeping away all the black creatures as he moved towards the source of the sensation.

 Chapter 342 - 242 Hope for the Perfection of the Supreme Star Technique! Battle! (Extra 33, 34)

    Chapter 342: Chapter 242 Hope for the Perfection of the Supreme Star Technique! Battle! (Extra 33, 34)


    These black exotic beasts had no signs of life, but they were no different from real creatures.


    Their appearance was similar to rats, with bodies the size of cats, and their strength generally ranged around level 15 or 16.


    The stronger ones could reach around level 18, but there were very few of such elites.


    Individually, their strength was far inferior to that of a Prime Warrior, but they had the advantage of terrifying numbers, swarming like a torrent, possibly in the thousands.


    If an ordinary Prime Warrior didn¡¯t break out immediately, once they were encircled, they would be devoured in the blink of an eye.


    What a pity!


    ...


    They had encountered Li Yuan, and the present Li Yuan was indeed terrifyingly powerful.


    With a physical quality of 23.7 levels, combined with the True Intent Killing Move, ¡°Star River Whirlwind,¡± the strength he exploded with was simply horrifying.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Countless black exotic beasts collided and subsequently died in groups, blood flowing like rivers¡­ yet they couldn¡¯t stop Li Yuan¡¯s advance, who moved hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.


    No one knew how many black exotic beasts died under the Black Chen Spear.


    ¡°What a pity, these fellows have no life signs,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°Otherwise, my Spiritual Awakening Level could definitely have risen to 40%.¡±


    But it wasn¡¯t completely fruitless.


    ¡°Just up ahead.¡± Li Yuan had already truly sensed it with his powerful spiritual power.


    Right up ahead!


    It was the energy fluctuation of an Earth Origin Crystal¡ªthe strange and mysterious aura, something Li Yuan would never forget in his lifetime.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes focused, and his Long Spear danced like lightning, the spear tip bursting with cold gleam, resembling starlight bursting forth, containing terrifying might.


    He thrust straight toward what was in front of him.


    The next moment.


    ¡°Howl~~¡± A piercing howl followed as a huge, nearly one meter tall black exotic beast burst forth from the multitude of beasts like lightning, brandishing its sharp claws, trying to withstand the blow from the black Long Spear.


    The two forces collided in an instant.


    At the moment of collision!


    ¡°Roar~~¡± A flicker of panic crossed the eyes of the exotic beast leader, who felt a terrifying force instantly charging through its tough skin, comparable to an Origin Power Battle Suit. Although the force couldn¡¯t tear its skin,


    more than half of that terrifying force penetrated its skin, impacting every part of its bones and flesh.


    It was as if a person was hit by a stick right in the chest. It seemed like the skin wasn¡¯t broken, but in reality, the internal organs were all shattered¡­ The exotic beast leader was the same, blood oozing from the corner of its mouth.


    Too terrifying.


    ¡°Sizzle! Sizz~¡± The exotic beast leader, like a streak of black light, was sent flying backward, trying to flee.


    ¡°Flee?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes turned cold.


    With his Divine Sense, he had already completely locked onto the exotic beast leader. His figure burst forth with no reservation, as the Vigor throughout his body fully unleashed.


    Nearly 500,000 kilograms of Explosive Power!


    Boom! S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan¡¯s legs forcefully propelled him forward, his terrifying power causing the ground to fracture layer by layer. In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, he moved with a speed surpassing 260 meters per second.


    Whoosh! His Long Spear swept across, and a swath of black exotic beasts exploded into pieces.


    Turning into a sky of blood mist.


    The final spear thrust pierced the Vast Sky, like lightning stabbing through, instantly going through the body of the beast leader that was fleeing in mid-air, entering from the rear.


    Piercing the heart and exiting out the throat!


    The exotic beast leader was dead!


    In an instant.


    The vast number of black exotic beasts that were still howling and charging at Li Yuan like a tide suddenly stopped.


    ¡°Splurt~¡± With a twist of the spear, Li Yuan completely crushed the internal organs of the beast leader, then withdrew his Long Spear with lightning speed.


    ¡°Thump~¡±


    The massive body of the beast leader fell to the ground with a heavy thud, and after a brief two seconds of silence,


    in the face of their leader¡¯s death, the thousands of black exotic beasts fled in all directions like a receding tide.


    Li Yuan did not stop them.


    Killing these black exotic beasts conferred no benefits as they weren¡¯t even living beings¡­ who knew what they were.


    Unable to obtain Spiritual Nutrients, why bother fighting to the death?


    You should know that despite Li Yuan¡¯s seemingly unstoppable and violent combat, the consumption of Origin Power was also incredibly high.


    ¡°If I can save some strength, I will. Who knows if there will be more dangers ahead,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Though very confident in his own strength, Li Yuan adhered to the idea that ¡°caution is the parent of safety,¡± never daring to be careless in the slightest.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    With the retreat of the numerous black exotic beasts, nothing could stop Li Yuan anymore¡­ He proceeded on his way, marching several kilometers in the darkness, the path narrowing on both sides as if entering a cave.


    Complete darkness!


    Li Yuan could no longer rely on his eyes to see and had to depend on his ¡°Divine Sense¡± for detection.


    The ground was still flat; by now, Li Yuan was almost certain that this gorge¡¯s bottom was man-made.


    Finally.


    In the midst of the darkness, Li Yuan suddenly stopped. He had reached the end¡­ Through his Divine Sense, he detected a huge stone wall in front of him.


    No! To be more precise, it was a stone gate about ten meters high.


    ¡°Is this?¡± Li Yuan was shocked: ¡°Could this so-called large vein of Divine Crystals actually be an artificial relic?¡±


    It was puzzling.


    Despite having reviewed many records in the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s database, Li Yuan, being new to the role of a Prime Warrior, still had a limited world view.


    ¡°The aura of the Earth Origin Crystal is coming through the cracks in the stone gate,¡± Li Yuan was astonished, ¡°and yet, my Divine Sense cannot penetrate this stone gate?¡±


    Apparently impenetrable to Divine Sense despite the presence of cracks?


    This was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension.


    ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try,¡± Li Yuan said to himself. Having come this far, there was no turning back.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone gate, positioned his legs slightly bent, and then the muscles and bones throughout his body burst forth with power, muscles bulging and Origin Power erupting!

    Chapter 346: Chapter 243: A Demigod-Level Genius? That¡¯s All? (Vote for Monthly Ticket)


    Both sides had very little communication.


    Whether it was Mo Hu or Li Yuan, they had already ascertained each other¡¯s general strength through mutual intelligence clues and knew they were the strongest members of their opposing factions.


    This battle was destined to decide the victor!


    It would also determine life or death!


    Because, whether it was Li Yuan or Mo Hu, what they represented was not just themselves but also the civilizations behind them competing for the relics of the gods.


    Boom! Boom!


    ...


    The speed of both Prime Warriors erupted to an extremely horrifying degree within a very short time.


    Mo Hu¡¯s speed exceeded 250 meters per second, and Li Yuan¡¯s speed also surpassed 230 meters per second.


    The terrifying speeds turned them into streaks of lightning, shaking the earth beneath them, as countless small stones were blasted into the air.


    In just a few seconds.


    The two had already closed the distance completely.


    Heading straight for a collision.


    At this moment, the many Prime Warriors following behind them couldn¡¯t help but cast their eyes upon the two arrow-like figures.


    These Prime Warriors, even the stronger ones like Alicia, Si Feng, and Lei Wu, were very clear in their minds.


    The outcome between Li Yuan and Mo Hu was the key to this battle.


    ¡°Die, Semi Divine Level of the Seven Stars Civilization!¡± Mo Hu¡¯s gaze was ice-cold as he locked onto Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    A chilling flash of saber light, accompanied by a streak of flame, instantly spanned a hundred meters of the vast sky, aiming a strike straight at Li Yuan.


    Just witnessing this scene alone was enough to send chills down the spines of Kross, Alicia, and Si Feng.


    ¡°Too fast.¡±


    ¡°How can the saber be this fast without much disturbance in the air? How high must the skill level be, and how powerful the burst of strength?¡± Alicia¡¯s heart tightened, ¡°Can Li Yuan block it?¡±


    Boom!


    The saber light swept across the sky in an angry chop.


    ¡°Scram!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were just as cold. Without dodging, the Black Chen Spear in his hand suddenly thrust out, the shaft subtly spiraling, carrying a shocking force of distortion to collide head-on with the combat saber.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    The terrifying collision, the frightening blast of air, caused the surrounding area to burst with dust and small stones flying in all directions, with both parties hurtling backward.


    However, Li Yuan only retreated a little more than ten meters, with each step cracking the ground, leaving large pits with every footfall.


    Mo Hu, on the other hand, was blown back by twenty meters before finally dissipating the full impact of the blow, looking somewhat disheveled.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡± Tie Mu¡¯er and over ten other Prime Warriors felt their hearts skip a beat, somewhat in disbelief.


    In their minds, with Mo Hu¡¯s intervention, he was supposed to overwhelmingly defeat Li Yuan.


    In such a direct clash, it wasn¡¯t skill that was compared, but rather a pure eruption of power, yet Mo Hu was actually at a disadvantage?


    This could only mean that Li Yuan¡¯s true strength was significantly greater than Mo Hu¡¯s.


    ¡°Lei Wu! What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say the guy you fought had Physical Quality just over level 22?¡± Tie Mu¡¯er and the others couldn¡¯t help but turn to Lei Wu, ¡°How did you escape from him if he can put Mo Hu at a disadvantage?¡±


    ¡°How would I know!¡±


    Lei Wu was completely baffled, ¡°It was only half a day; how could his Physical Quality have soared this much?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that he hid his strength when he first fought me?¡± Lei Wu thought frantically.


    ¡­¡±Your Physical Quality is this impressive?¡± Mo Hu was also a bit shocked and blurted out in ¡®Seven Stars Language¡¯.


    He had thought that with his physical advantage, he could easily crush Li Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re not bad either,¡± replied Li Yuan coldly, speaking in ¡®Immortal Ruins Civilization Common Language¡¯.


    On their way here, Li Yuan and his group had taken the time to learn the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s common language. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As beings at the Flying Heaven Level with souls, their learning capacity was incredibly strong, mastering at least some simple conversations wasn¡¯t difficult.


    And through the initial ¡®Divine Palace Inquiry¡¯, Li Yuan was very clear about Mo Hu¡¯s Physical Quality¡ª23.1 level.


    It was significantly weaker than his own.


    Therefore, out of caution, Li Yuan didn¡¯t go all out from the start, only revealing a Physical Quality of around level 23.3.


    Going all out wouldn¡¯t guarantee a one-hit kill anyway.


    Hence, killing the adversary by revealing only part of his strength, thereby preventing the backers of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom from knowing his full power, was the optimal solution.


    ¡°Good! Tell me your name. You¡¯re about to die by my saber, and you deserve to know my name,¡± Mo Hu said gravely, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you, my name is Mo Hu, the Semi Divine Level genius of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°The dead don¡¯t need to know my name,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was icy as his long spear thrust forward with a roar, swift as lightning.


    Telling the enemy his name?


    Li Yuan held no such interest; there was no need for chivalry and righteousness when dealing with an Alien Race.


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    ¡°Just a Semi Divine Level talent from a weak civilization,¡± grumbled Mo Hu, fully unleashing his power.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spear was fast, but Mo Hu¡¯s Sword Technique was even sharper and fiercer, and the two collided yet again, nearly as fast as lightning.


    Step by step, pressing hard!


    Feeling at a disadvantage in terms of Physical Quality, Mo Hu¡¯s swordplay immediately shifted from the fierce head-on approach to become soft and continuous, entwining Li Yuan¡¯s long spear, gaining ground inch by inch.


    Attempting to close the gap between himself and Li Yuan.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± The clash of their weapons rang out in rapid succession like lightning. Li Yuan kept retreating, maintaining the distance.


    Yet Mo Hu kept pressing forward.


    Despite Li Yuan possessing superior Physical Quality, Mo Hu relied on his powerful and crafty Sword Technique, seemingly still having the upper hand.


    ¡­Boom! Boom!


    Boom! In another area of the wilderness, Alicia, Si Feng, and the other four were already clashing with a large group of Prime Warriors led by Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu.


    ¡°Stay with me,¡± Alicia sought out her old adversary, with sword light flowing like water, pouring onto Lei Wu.


    She also kept unleashing Spiritual Shocks, forcing him to fight with all his might.

    Chapter 347: Chapter 243: A Demigod-Level Genius? That¡¯s All? (Vote for Monthly Ticket) _2


    The full-scale confrontation between the two camps was almost evenly matched.


    Although the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team had more members, most of them were just ordinary Prime Warriors¡­ They would find it difficult to be fully involved in such a battle of talents, where a slight misstep could mean death.


    The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side, on the other hand, had fewer people, but each one of them was an elite.


    ¡°Li Yuan is being delayed, and it seems he has no advantage,¡±


    ¡°Why do I feel at a disadvantage?¡±


    ¡°This alien race genius is truly powerful,¡± Kross, Bai Ya, and Xiong Ze felt a chill down their spines upon realizing this.


    ...


    If Li Yuan could win decisively, that would be for the best.


    At that point, with Li Yuan¡¯s strength, he could easily sweep through the rest of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team, and they all would benefit.


    ¡°Li Yuan is not using his full strength; he hasn¡¯t used his Spiritual Shock,¡± Alicia thought to himself calmly, knowing just how terrifying Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was.


    ¡­


    Boom! Boom!


    The fierce battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu indeed showed no short-term hope of victory.


    ¡°This Mo Hu¡¯s mastery of techniques is indeed a lot better than mine, probably around 55% of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    This was very close to the technique level of a Fifth Stage High Rank, which was an exaggerated level of skill for a Prime Warrior who was a First Rank life form not long ago.


    Li Yuan? He was only at 42% of the Fifth Stage technique level now.


    In terms of physical quality, Li Yuan had an absolute advantage, but he was at a disadvantage in technique, so overall Li Yuan only had a slight upper hand.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Another terrifying slash of combat saber light streaked across the Vast Sky, sending Li Yuan flying backward, traveling several tens of meters before stomping heavily into the ground to stop his momentum.


    Clash after clash ensued.


    If the battle continued like this,


    Li Yuan would not be able to kill the opponent.


    ¡°I was thinking that with the advantage of my Burst Speed of the 23rd level, I could kill the opponent, but I didn¡¯t expect a monstrous genius to appear,¡± a thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind, followed immediately by the execution of the Spiritual Secret Technique ¡°Soul Shock.¡±


    The situation was critical; Bai Xing had already died in battle, and Li Yuan did not want anyone else to die.


    Besides, the Spiritual Secret Technique was something he had revealed many times before, so there was no harm in using it again now.


    Boom!


    The rolling and surging Spiritual Shock instantly assailed Mo Hu¡¯s inner world.


    However, such a fierce spiritual attack only made Mo Hu¡¯s body waver slightly before he instantly recovered to normal.


    Hahaha¡­ Your Spiritual Shock is indeed formidable, definitely of the Flying Heaven Level soul,¡± Mo Hu revealed a ferocious smile, ¡°But I have long known you possess a Flying Heaven Level soul, and I dared to come because I am confident that your move is useless against me.¡±


    In terms of spiritual power, Mo Hu was at the 29th level!


    He had also taken a Secret Treasure in advance, which could greatly condense his spiritual power in a short time¡­ all to guard against Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Shock.


    A Spiritual Shock, unless there is a vast gap between the two, is unlikely to have a significant impact.


    ¡°However, your strength is indeed formidable, worthy for me to use my full strength,¡± Mo Hu¡¯s eyes dead set on Li Yuan.


    Boom!!


    Mo Hu¡¯s vital aura suddenly changed, his body seemingly burning with visible flame light, and his aura became even more terrifying.


    Even Alicia, Bai Ya, and others in the distance felt the terrifying aura emanating from Mo Hu at this moment.


    He was like a primordial fierce beast.


    ¡°Star Technique!¡±


    ¡°It is a Star Technique!¡± Li Yuan confirmed instantly, frowning slightly, ¡°He has only recently become a Prime Warrior, how could he have cultivated a Star Technique so quickly?¡±


    Star Technique cultivation is generally a slow and arduous process.


    And Prime Warriors, mostly being frail, would only cultivate one or two Star Techniques¡­ otherwise, the outburst of a Star Technique would place an immense burden on the body, even causing it to collapse.


    But what Li Yuan did not know was that within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there were methods to rapidly cultivate a Star Technique to Minor Success.


    Many secretive methods and approaches on the path of cultivation,


    Remained unknown to Li Yuan, who was from a Fourth Level Civilization.


    Boom! With the Star Technique, Mo Hu¡¯s strength and speed increased dramatically, even slightly surpassing Li Yuan.


    And combined with a more exquisite technique than Li Yuan?


    Booming sounds spread as the ground tore apart, chunks of earth and boulders crumbled, and Li Yuan was beaten back step by step for a while.


    Every move was perilous.


    In a very short time, Li Yuan and Mo Hu have switched between offense and defense several times, and now Li Yuan has fallen into an absolute disadvantage.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to win!¡±


    ¡°Worthy of our Prince Mo Hu,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the others brightened up, their fighting spirit soaring as they fought desperately against Alicia, Si Feng, and the others, trying to kill them as well.


    Seeing this, Alicia, Si Feng, and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.


    The strength displayed by Mo Hu exceeded their expectations¡­ once Li Yuan lost, they would all be left with only one way out: death.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Die!¡± Mo Hu bellowed.


    ¡°No choice then,¡±


    ¡°I had hoped to conceal some of my strength, to keep the power behind the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom guessing about my true combat power.¡± Although Li Yuan seemed in disarray, he was acutely aware: ¡°Well, since I can¡¯t hide it, I might as well unleash my full power! Sweep him aside with a decisive blow.¡±


    At that moment, the physical quality of level 23.7, enhanced by taking the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, erupted completely.


    ¡°Whoosh!!¡±


    He thrust with his spear.


    Tiny streams of vigor coursed through Li Yuan¡¯s body, his strength and speed suddenly surged, reaching a terrifying level, far surpassing what it had been before.


    ¡°What? So fast?¡± Mo Hu¡¯s face changed slightly, but he still swung his combat saber instinctively.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Another terrifying clash ensued, a horrendous roar echoing across the vast sky. Li Yuan didn¡¯t budge an inch, withstanding the impact completely. But from the terrifying collision, Mo Hu was sent flying backward dozens of meters.


    ¡°How is this possible? How can your physical quality be so strong?¡± Mo Hu found it hard to believe.


    He thought reaching level 23 so quickly was already incredibly exaggerated.


    What about Li Yuan?


    From that last head-on strike, the impression it gave him was no less than that of a level 24 Prime Warrior.


    ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure darted forward. Having chosen to erupt with full force, he showed no mercy. Combining his full burst strength, he unleashed his most powerful move¡ªStar River Whirl!


    He drew upon a vast amount of the power of heaven and earth!


    Going all out! His strongest strike!


    Why did Lei Wu think Li Yuan¡¯s skills were so high? Because what he saw was Li Yuan using a True Intent special move!


    Yes, Li Yuan¡¯s skill level was only at 42% of the Fifth Stage, but under the state of a True Intent special move, the terrifying force of heaven and earth he could draw upon was on par with 60% or even 70% of the Fifth Stage.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A dazzling spear light swept across.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s charge, the spear light streaked across a hundred meters of sky, fiercely hitting Mo Hu¡¯s combat saber.


    Whoosh! It sent Mo Hu flying completely.


    He tried his best but failed to block it.


    At that moment, Mo Hu¡¯s blood boiled, and after falling heavily to the ground, he was already injured.


    ¡°How can this be? He! He!¡±


    ¡°How can his Spear Technique suddenly become so powerful? The skill level he showed just now should have been weaker than mine.¡± Such a terrifying move completely dazed Mo Hu: ¡°Could it be? Could it be a True Intent special move? Impossible!¡±


    Several hundred meters away.


    ¡°What?¡± Engaged in fierce battle with Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu and the others were also stunned.


    Mo Hu had been overwhelmingly strong just a moment ago, yet now he was on the back foot, followed by being swept away by Li Yuan¡¯s move?


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan! Li Yuan!¡± Alicia, Kross, Si Feng¡ªthey were shocked and delighted.


    Li Yuan, who was at a disadvantage just now, had suddenly burst forth to this extent.


    ¡°Demigod-level genius? It¡¯s nothing!¡±


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan said coldly, his figure like lightning, his Spear Technique continuous, sweeping through the sky and enveloping Mo Hu.


    He intended to kill him completely.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°If this continues, relying on the strength of this Seven Star Civilization genius, he will definitely be able to kill me.¡± Mo Hu realized this instantly, and like lightning, started to flee backward.


    He was running for his life.


    ¡°You think you can escape?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, and he pursued like lightning.


    In terms of Burst Speed, Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality was on a whole other level, naturally more terrifying.


    ¡°Pff!¡± sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Long Spear whooshed as it stabbed, causing Mo Hu to grit his teeth, suddenly turn around, and furiously slash with his combat saber to defend.


    ¡°Clang!¡± As soon as they collided, the force contained in Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear transformed into a bursting energy, almost wrenching Mo Hu¡¯s combat saber from his grasp, shaking his grip, and sending him reeling back once again.

    ¡°Where is Li Yuan going?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t we kill all the enemies?¡±


    ¡°Not sure.¡± Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Bai Ya all gathered around, watching Li Yuan flying off into the distance with curiosity and puzzlement.


    ¡°Stop asking.¡±


    Alicia said in a low voice, ¡°You all saw Li Yuan¡¯s strength just now, far above us¡­ even a Semi Divine Level genius of the Immortal Ruins Civilization died by his hand.¡±


    ¡°And the defeat was decisive.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Since he suddenly left, there must be a reason, why ask more.¡± Alicia¡¯s gaze swept over the others, ¡°The situation is initially settled, we just need to do our own business.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s clean up the battlefield quickly.¡± Si Feng and Kross all nodded without hesitation.


    After a series of great battles, except for the deceased Bai Xing, the rest were vaguely divided into the strong and the weak.


    Strength determines status.


    Li Yuan, of course, was the undisputed top, so when he issued an order, everyone would follow.


    The victories brought about by strong power naturally convinced people.


    The one second only to Li Yuan was Alicia.


    ¡°After cleaning up the battlefield, take charge of different groups of people and continue to clean up and explore the entire World within Worlds.¡± Alicia said, ¡°No objections, right?¡±


    ¡°No objections.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s start cleaning.¡± Xiong Ze and Kross declared.


    ¡°What about the Relic Divine Palace?¡± Si Feng raised a question.


    He pointed to the continuous palace complex shrouded in a mysterious glow in the distance, and the others couldn¡¯t help but look at Alicia.


    ¡°No need to rush.¡±


    ¡°We are tasked with protecting Lin Lanyue, but since she is in the Relic Divine Palace¡­ we can¡¯t save her even if we wanted to, rashly entering would only put ourselves in danger.¡± Alicia mused, ¡°Now we have basically cleared the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team, since even their Semi Divine Level genius is dead, they should find it difficult to fight again.¡±


    ¡°Thus, as long as Lin Lanyue can come out alive, she won¡¯t encounter the ambush from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom like before.¡±


    All nodded in agreement.


    Save Lin Lanyue? In fact, once it was confirmed that Lin Lanyue was truly in the Relic Divine Palace, others, including Li Yuan, would find it hard to help her.


    This fact was clear to the higher-ups of the alliance and the Blazing Flame Family.


    The so-called saving was actually, if she could come out alive from the Relic Divine Palace, to protect her from being killed by the powerhouses of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    But whether she could come back alive depended on her.


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°This Relic Divine Palace contains major secrets, I know you all have your plans.¡± Alicia¡¯s gaze swept over everyone, ¡°The opportunities contained within the Divine relics are indeed unpredictable¡­ everyone wants it.¡±


    ¡°But we¡¯ve been in the World within Worlds for less than two days, the situation is not yet stable, and the Relic Divine Palace is fraught with dangers¡­ My personal suggestion is to wait for Li Yuan to return, and make sure there are no strong warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom within the World within Worlds, then we can discuss how to tackle it.¡± Alicia said.


    ¡°Yeah, that sounds reasonable.¡±


    ¡°No need to rush, according to information from the Blazing Flame Family, we should be able to stay in the World within Worlds for a year¡­ it¡¯s only been two days.¡± The rest nodded in agreement.


    Soon, several Prime Warrior geniuses dispersed.


    They began to get busy.


    ¡°Alicia, should we really wait for Li Yuan to come back? We could totally try to break into the ruins first.¡± A childish voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°The Five Elements Divine Crystals from the veins, you get none, and Li Yuan hasn¡¯t revealed any bit of information till now.¡±


    ¡°If Li Yuan takes away all the inheritance from these ruins, our efforts will have been for nothing.¡±


    ¡°Are you confident?¡± Alicia responded.


    ¡°I am confident!!¡± The childlike voice raised its pitch by three notches, a hint of excitement in the tone, ¡°I sensed it just now, clearly¡­ the force that annihilated that Semi Divine Level genius ¡®Mo Hu¡¯ was the power of the world, indicating that the essence of the World within Worlds is still operational.¡± S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It means that the rules set by that deity are still in existence.¡±


    ¡°And looking at the various rules in the World within Worlds¡­ this place was probably a training ground for the deity¡¯s descendants in the past, and there should be an inheritance left behind.¡± The childlike voice stated assertively, ¡°I am ninety-nine percent sure.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not asking if there¡¯s an inheritance. Anyone could guess the Relic Divine Palace holds treasures, not to mention, the rise of the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s original ancestor ¡®Demigod of Flame City¡¯ was certainly related to this World within Worlds.¡± Alicia frowned, responding, ¡°I¡¯m asking if you are absolutely confident that you can obtain the inheritance?¡±


    The childlike voice instantly lost its spark.


    Absolute confidence in obtaining the inheritance? He had none.


    But in his view, since they had to compete, they should strive to be a step ahead, to seize the initiative.


    ¡°Then what¡¯s your plan?¡± the childlike voice asked.


    ¡°No hurry.¡± Alicia shook her head, ¡°Since generation after generation of the Blazing Flame Family have been able to break through and benefit¡­ it probably wouldn¡¯t hurt for us to enter later.¡±


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    Bursting forth with all his might, Li Yuan sprinted away, covering over thirty kilometers in just a few minutes.


    He made sure to leave Alicia, Si Feng, and the others far behind, with no one following.


    Li Yuan then returned directly to the edge of the canyon at the core of the vein.


    But he did not disturb Tong Guan and the others.


    Instead, he found a secluded spot at the end of the canyon and directly entered.


    He stopped at an inconspicuous indent in the mountain wall, hardly noticeable, and then settled down cross-legged.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Li Yuan focused and calmed his mind, his thoughts moved, and he completely released the suppression over the Sea of Source Energy and the three Star Meridians.


    Hum~


    At that moment, Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power allowed him to clearly sense that from the second floor of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, a continuous flow of golden mist was cascading down, this golden mist settling upon the first floor¡¯s ground inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Once merged into the ground.


    Hiss~ Hiss~ Li Yuan could clearly sense that a stream of bizarre power was penetrating every part of his body from his head, this bizarre power being the key to transforming his Physical Quality and spiritual power every time.

    ¡°`plaintext


    ¡°Most likely, every time I kill a member of an alien race, the spiritual nourishment I accumulate is these strange powers,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Treasures that can rapidly and gently enhance both the body and spiritual power simultaneously are extremely rare and seldom seen.


    They involve the evolution of life.


    Origin Power infusion¡­ to Li Yuan, it felt like the improvement to his physical quality was on par with many wondrous treasures.


    Moreover, most wondrous treasures could only be consumed once, and their effectiveness decreased with subsequent uses.


    ...


    But the effect of Origin Power infusion seemed to become more exaggerated with each use.


    ¡°After the fourth infusion of Origin Power, I wonder how effective it will be,¡± Li Yuan thought expectantly, ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to break through to level 25.¡±


    If he could advance from level 23.7 to 25, his basic fist strength would increase by over 60,000 kilograms. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Booming sound~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s three star meridians operated simultaneously, and the surging, pure Origin Power coursed into a part of his body¡¯s muscles and blood.


    The next moment.


    After merging with the golden mist that transformed into strange energy, the numerous cells in Li Yuan¡¯s body, which had already been ¡®satiated,¡¯ seemed to break free from some invisible shackles, suddenly becoming extremely ¡®hungry,¡¯ and began to crazily absorb Origin Power.


    Booming sound~


    Li Yuan felt his whole body beginning to tremble wildly, flesh, skin, and hair, bones, periosteum, internal organs¡­ all started to undergo continuous transformation.


    This was a comprehensive evolution and upgrade.


    ¡°However, it¡¯s not as comfortable as the Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°The transformation brought by the Myriad Life Extension Fruit is quite pleasant.¡±


    In contrast, Origin Power infusion was extremely domineering, causing the muscles and bones to reorganize, which was actually quite painful, but Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power and willpower were strong enough to easily endure it.


    ¡°[Your life level has increased from 23.7 to 23.8]¡±


    ¡°[Your strength, from¡­]¡± Time passed, as Li Yuan¡¯s life level continued to rise, alerts flashed across the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡°¡­spiritual power.¡± Most of Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness focused on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and his consciousness came to the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Rustling~


    In the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan¡¯s conscious body ¡®watched¡¯ the golden mist continually being generated in the palace¡¯s void.


    ¡°Last time during the Origin Power infusion, I guessed that some essence of them turned into spiritual nourishment; otherwise, I can¡¯t explain why the effects of Origin Power infusion are growing stronger each time,¡± Li Yuan pondered privately, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it is still just speculation, not yet verified.¡±


    But Li Yuan believed that as he grew stronger, he would eventually unlock all the secrets.


    ¡°Continue to enhance spiritual power.¡± As soon as Li Yuan¡¯s conscious body willed it, a portion of the vast amount of golden mist born in the void of the palace separated.


    It directly merged into Li Yuan¡¯s conscious body.


    Booming sound~ The strands of golden mist seemed to have an invisible magic power, making Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness feel groggy. In an instant, his conscious body wobbled and found itself in the Starry Sky Life Level space, already glowing dimly.


    Three indistinct star belts, one quite bright, the other two immensely faint, interspersed against the endless night sky¡­ were the three star meridians that Li Yuan had awakened.


    Their existence added much vitality to the originally dark Life Star space.


    Rustling~


    Strands of strange starlight, transformed from the golden mist, ¡®shined¡¯ from the depths of the Life Star space, starting to nourish Li Yuan¡¯s mental consciousness.


    After a long time.


    ¡°[Your soul has been nourished, your spiritual power has increased from 31.8 to 31.9]¡± Clearly, after reaching the Flying Heaven level, each increase in spiritual power was extremely difficult.


    Overall, though,


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality and spiritual power were growing at a terrifying pace, absolutely top-notch among the many geniuses of various civilizations.


    ¡°Life Star space.¡±


    ¡°Awaken the Life Star.¡± As Li Yuan felt his spiritual power and physical quality continuously transform, and considering it had been several days since he last awakened a Life Star, his mind moved, and he immediately concentrated, attempting to imprint more ¡®Life Stars.¡¯


    The path of Law Creation must continue.


    ¡°`


    You can¡¯t just rely on spiritual guidance.


    After all, my current level of spiritual awakening has only reached 40%, still far from the required 50% for the next guidance¡­ I have no idea when I¡¯ll be able to unlock the limit.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness slightly expanded and immediately noticed the changes in the countless ¡®life stars¡¯ within the starry space of life.


    ¡°In these past few days, the transformation of my physical quality seems to have nourished the life stars, making numerous life stars grow stronger,¡± Li Yuan rejoiced internally, ¡°As the life stars strengthen, my spiritual power perception will become easier too.¡±


    At this moment, Li Yuan had come to understand why many classics mention that a large number of top-grade prime warriors were able to awaken four or five star meridians.


    It¡¯s about the foundation!


    ¡°With stronger spiritual power, the perception of the body and the fluctuations of the heavens and the earth will be clearer, ensuring that a flying heaven level soul could definitely reach fifth stage skills,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Similarly, the increase in physical quality is also the foundation for the awakening of life stars.¡±


    ¡°The stronger the body, the stronger the life stars, the clearer the perception¡­ the higher the hopes of awakening a life star.¡±


    Hum~ Hum~


    While receiving origin power into his body, Li Yuan used his spiritual awareness to sense the life stars, searching for traces of the life star.


    For a moment, his efficiency in awakening life stars was more than ten times that of the past.


    ¡­


    Before he realized it, nearly two hours passed, and Li Yuan¡¯s fourth session of absorbing origin power was not yet over.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Hum~ Almost simultaneously, two invisible fluctuations erupted from Li Yuan as the core, his body subtly trembling.


    Whoosh~ Visible to the naked eye, tens of thousands of light points appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s body surface, converging into threads, channeling into the sea of source energy in his abdomen¡­ another star meridian was awakened.


    ¡°The fourth star meridian has awakened?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling quite delighted, ¡°Moreover, the second star meridian has successfully transformed from the first layer to the second layer.¡±


    This was a breakthrough achieved in an extremely short amount of time.


    While the quantity of star meridians is important, their quality is equally crucial.


    ¡°Foundation!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, my physical quality is now at level 24.3,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, ¡°The stronger the foundation, the faster I will awaken life stars.¡±


    Li Yuan was very patient.


    This step-by-step process of feeling one¡¯s body and soul transform and strengthen, despite being somewhat painful, could also bring heartfelt joy.

    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, known as the most powerful among human Seven Star Civilizations, is vast and mighty¡­ Yet the whole civilization isn¡¯t monolithic but divided into many divine kingdoms and sects.


    In the multitude of divine kingdoms and sects within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is an inconspicuous one.


    While Li Yuan was in seclusion, strengthening and transforming his abilities.


    The deaths of Mo Hu, Lei Wu, and others eventually reached Mintian City in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    This place is the core territory of Lord Mintian Hou.


    Above the city, numerous flying vehicles come and go, along with floating super-large starry sky warships¡­ The city is bustling with prosperity.


    And on the east side of the city, within a complex of special high-rise buildings.


    In an ultra-large conference room.


    ¡°A bunch of useless trash!!¡±


    ¡°Useless,¡± an enraged voice echoed throughout the conference room, ¡°So many people dead, nearly a complete massacre, and even Mo Hu is dead.¡±


    ¡°And what, you tell me you don¡¯t even know who killed Mo Hu.¡±


    ¡°Seven Stars human? Of course I know the killer is a Seven Stars human! As if it could be an Eight Stars being!¡±

    Chapter 352: Chapter 246: Mintian Hou¡¯s Rage! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)


    The oversized conference room was silent.


    Dozens of people stood respectfully there, each with their heads bowed, silent as cicadas in winter, listening to the roar of the tall figure at the end of the room, not daring to make any sound.


    At the end of the conference room.


    There sat a burly figure clad in purple armor, like a War God, who, even while sitting, was close to two meters tall, especially those eyes, which glowed blood-red, making people tremble.


    However, what was most unique was the dark red horn on top of his head, sharp as if to pierce the heavens, making his aura even more domineering.


    That was Mintian Hou.


    ...


    The ruler of over a hundred million citizens of Mintian City, whose single command could result in the beheadings of thousands.


    He was also truly at the top of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s ruling hierarchy, his power overwhelming.


    The system of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was completely different from that of the Seven Star human civilization.


    The latter, even for commoners, had certain rights¡­ by law, even the powerful Demigods could not massacre commoners at will, the entire civilization was relatively tranquil overall.


    But in Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it was a mishmash of many races, fairly chaotic.


    Demigods towered above, with astonishing power, possessing the real authority of life and death over most of their subordinate territories, wanton slaughter was a minor matter.


    Unless!


    You revealed extremely high value¡ªlike certain research personnel of amazing worth, or those with astonishing Martial Path talents.


    Like ¡®Mo Hu¡¯!


    ¡°With my domain being only so large, is it easy to give birth to a Semi-Divine Level Genius?¡± Mintian Hou was extremely angry when he first received the news of Mo Hu¡¯s death.


    Once deemed a Semi-Divine Level Genius, they were to be beyond his control.


    To persuade Mo Hu to come, he had used a mix of coercion and inducement.


    All for the sake of contending for the treasures of World within Worlds.


    Now that Mo Hu was dead, it would not have much impact on him, but it would certainly incite other Demigod elders of the Divine Kingdom to challenge and question him.


    ¡°Investigate!¡±


    ¡°Based on the last messages sent back by Mo Hu, Tie Mu¡¯er, and Lei Wu before their deaths, find a way for me to investigate,¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°Find out exactly who that genius from Seven Star Civilization is.¡±


    ¡°If necessary, contact Tianliang Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, they have the deepest infiltration into Seven Star Civilization, and they must have many detailed reports.¡±


    ¡°I do not wish to summon you next time and still be met with an ¡®I don¡¯t know,''¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s cold gaze swept over several figures.


    ¡°Understood,¡± several heads of the External Surveillance Department bowed their heads.


    They understood that if they managed to investigate clearly, there would still be room for recovery¡­ but if they failed to investigate, dismissal was the lightest consequence.


    Quickly, several heads of the External Surveillance Department left.


    ¡°What do you think, do you have any better ideas regarding this World within Worlds?¡± Mintian Hou said indifferently.


    The bowed heads looked at each other.


    Several seconds later.


    ¡°My lord, since Prince Mo Hu died, it was because his strength wasn¡¯t strong enough. Why don¡¯t we invite a ¡®Divine Child Level Genius¡¯ from the Divine Kingdom¡­¡± a man in red robes cautiously began.


    ¡°Pong~¡±


    With a sweep of Mintian Hou¡¯s hand, an invisible force cut through the air, harshly slapping the man in the red robes and sending him flying before he crashed onto the ground.


    ¡°A Divine Child Level Genius?¡± S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°How many Divine Child Level Geniuses are there in the entire Divine Kingdom?¡± Mintian Hou snorted coldly, ¡°Those who are still First Rank¡­ not a single one. If we were to invite one, would I have to go to other Divine Kingdoms to ask?¡±


    ¡°What price would we have to pay?¡±


    Everyone kept silent.


    A Semi-Divine Level Genius merely meant that they had the potential for demigodhood. The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom often produced several such individuals each year¡­ the actual total number was not small.


    But a Divine Child Level Genius? That was recognized as a top-tier talent who, if allowed to grow, was certain to become a Demigod. It might take many years for the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to give rise to just one.


    What could they do?


    All these department heads were contemplating.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°My lord, from the current situation, it seems that the Seven Star Civilization must have sent a terrifying genius. Direct contention in World within Worlds is extremely difficult,¡± a black-robed figure said in a low voice, ¡°but we can totally take a different approach.¡±


    ¡°Speak,¡± Mintian Hou looked toward the black-robed figure.


    ¡°According to the rules we have ascertained, Second Rank Life Forms probably cannot stay in World within Worlds for long,¡± the black-robed figure said, ¡°We don¡¯t need to fight over temporary control, we just need to delay for some time, wait for that terrifying genius to leave¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Foolish!¡±


    Mintian Hou shook his head, ¡°In the past, the ones in control of this divine relic were just a Demigod family from Seven Star Civilization, they had limited resources, and the talents they dispatched had their limits¡­ but now in charge is the sovereign of Seven Star Civilization, the resources they can mobilize are beyond your imagination.¡±


    ¡°If we give them time, they might completely discover and guard every exit.¡±


    ¡°At that time, even if we do invite a Semi-Divine Level Genius¡­ just having stepped into 19th level, they might directly encounter a swarm of Prime Warriors.¡±


    ¡°The most important point.¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Civilization, next, will certainly continue to send their civilization¡¯s top geniuses into the Divine Palace ruins, maybe they will gain all the treasures at any time,¡± Mintian Hou said coldly, ¡°We must compete, we cannot delay.¡±


    Mintian Hou saw things very clearly.


    But those under him were now plagued with a headache, unable to invite a Divine Child Level Genius, yet still needing to compete? Wasn¡¯t that simply sending themselves to death?


    ¡°My lord, then let¡¯s compete from the outside,¡± another voice suggested, ¡°Rather than fighting internally, it¡¯s better to directly break the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s War Fortress in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±

    Chapter 353: Chapter 246: Mintian Hou¡¯s Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_2


    ¡°Take over their channel directly.¡±


    ¡°By then, once we control both channels, everything will be in our hands,¡± the speaker was a woman dressed in purple robes. ¡°But this plan isn¡¯t just about a contest of geniuses¡­ it¡¯s about waging a full-scale war with the entire Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that our fiefdom¡¯s power alone might find it difficult to prevail,¡± the woman in purple robes said respectfully.


    ¡°A full-scale war?¡± Mintian Hou fell deep into thought, a hint of hesitation flashing through his mind.


    If only his forces were involved in the struggle, then should they win, they would reap all the benefits.


    Once other demigods from the Divine Kingdom were brought into the fold, even the entire upper echelons, the forces that could be mobilized would certainly be much stronger, but the benefits he could obtain¡­ would also be substantially reduced.


    ...


    After a long period of contemplation.


    ¡°Go, call for Jin Heng,¡± Mintian Hou suddenly spoke.


    With those words, everyone present understood Mintian Hou¡¯s thoughts¡ªfull-scale warfare.


    Because Jin Heng was the most powerful Prime Warrior under Mintian Hou¡¯s command, with a grand reputation.


    Shortly after.


    All left the conference room, leaving Mintian Hou sitting there alone.


    He had already contacted several demigod friends.


    ¡°Four demigods mobilizing their forces, giving their all.¡±


    ¡°Gathering a group of powerful Prime Warriors, even directly advancing to the Flying Heaven Level in the Fierce Feather Star Realm to unleash the strongest combat power,¡± Mintian Hou tapped on the armrest, the crisp sound of his fingertips hitting the armrest echoing in the conference room as he silently pondered, ¡°That should be enough.¡± S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°A treasure so vast within the dimensional plane, located above so many converging dimensional nodes, which civilization wouldn¡¯t desire to invade it?¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is indeed formidable, but he has been in a standoff with the Myriad Demons Civilization for a long time¡­ It¡¯s impossible for him to deploy his civilization¡¯s entire strength to compete with me,¡± Mintian Hou was convinced of one thing.


    He knew how terrifying Dongfang Ji was, and the true foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But because he understood, he dared to compete.


    ¡°If we go to full-scale war and fail.¡±


    ¡°At worst, I¡¯ll report up to the clan,¡± a hint of coldness flashed in Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes.


    He hailed from a terrifyingly powerful clan within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with profound backing. That was why he could act so unbridled within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Boom!


    Mintian Hou stood up, his body clad in purple combat armor. Thin strands of purple flames flickered and burned, emitting an aura of extreme terror.


    ¡°The Path of Law.¡±


    ¡°The legacy of a Fire System Divine, containing treasures that might allow me to truly take that step toward becoming a god,¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes filled with endless longing.


    The relics left by a Fire System Divine were worth all his gambles.


    If he could obtain them, then he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to sacrifice the hundreds of millions of subjects in his fiefdom.


    ¡­


    When Mintian Hou of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom made his choice.


    The news about the battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu had also reached the warbase in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom actually sent a Semi Divine Level genius?¡± When Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others received this news, they were all startled.


    Then came the news that both shocked and thrilled them.


    ¡°Won?¡±


    ¡°The Semi Divine Level genius Mo Hu? Killed outright by Li Yuan, and didn¡¯t even have a chance to flee to the Relic Divine Palace?¡± Abbott and Wu Manong were somewhat stunned.


    The four of them, who were dispatched here, were capable of fighting beyond their level against Flying Heaven Warriors. They had high status and a broad view; facing the Immortal Ruins Civilization, they naturally had a grasp of the many systems within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    They understood the significance of a Semi Divine Level genius.


    ¡°At First Rank, we might have had no chance of winning.¡±


    ¡°Yes, in terms of talent, we may not be weaker than the ¡®Semi Divine Level genius¡¯ sent by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, but they can mobilize more resources¡­ If we were in Li Yuan¡¯s place, we wouldn¡¯t compare,¡± Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe expressed their admiration with sighs.


    Even Yu Jinghe and Wu Manong, who had long known the details about Li Yuan, grew even more admiring of him.


    It¡¯s one thing to be highly talented; it¡¯s another to play it to the fullest.


    How long had Li Yuan been practicing? Yet he had managed to face and kill a Semi Divine Level genius from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom directly.


    ¡°The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s choice of a Semi Divine Level genius was unexpected, showing their determination to win,¡± Yu Jinghe said softly. ¡°Now, having failed again, they are unlikely to compete with Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°We need to get ready.¡±


    Suddenly, Wu Manong, Tavares, Flame Cloud Fox, Yanjun Ling all felt a chill, understanding what Yu Jinghe meant.


    The internal conflicts within World within Worlds were likely to come to a pause.


    With Li Yuan holding the fort, in the short term, it¡¯s nearly impossible for the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to send another First Stage Martial Artist to compete.


    Therefore, the warbase they were guarding was much more likely to erupt into a major battle.


    ¡°If they dare to come, then let¡¯s fight,¡± Tavares said with a chuckle. ¡°A civilization where divines have emerged?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve fought against Second Level powerhouses of the Myriad Demons Civilization; what¡¯s there to fear!¡±


    ¡°All at the Second Level, who is inferior to whom?¡± Abbott also revealed a trace of bloodlust.


    All four geniuses had grown through numerous life-and-death battles.


    How could they possibly be afraid?


    Being the ¡®elite existence¡¯ among the Prime Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, they were the sharpest blades used by the entire civilization to fight in each Second Level Star Realm.


    ¡°War isn¡¯t something we fear.¡±


    ¡°Still, let¡¯s first report Li Yuan¡¯s performance and the latest situation within the World within Worlds,¡± Wu Manong said quietly. ¡°Let¡¯s see if the alliance¡¯s top level will invest more resources in us.¡±


    ¡­


    While the higher echelons of the two great civilizations were in turmoil, each with their strategies, World within Worlds instead fell silent.

 Chapter 354 - 246: Mintian Hous Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_

    Chapter 354: Chapter 246: Mintian Hou¡¯s Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_


    At this moment, Li Yuan functioned as the Seas Calming Divine Needle within the Middle Realm.


    Even the demigods of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom temporarily extinguished the idea of directly competing for control over the Middle Realm.


    Beneath the continuous and towering mountain range.


    On one side of a dark gorge¡¯s cliff, eight hours later, Li Yuan¡¯s complete transformation finally concluded.


    He simply sat there quietly.


    ¡°Four infusions of Origin Power have finally ended,¡± Li Yuan thought with an unparalleled sense of tranquility.


    ...


    With a single thought, his spiritual consciousness permeated his entire body, sensing every strand of subtle Vigor.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± In the Sea of Source Energy, tumultuous Origin Power surged, instantly raising towering waves, then swiftly flowing into each Star Meridian.


    The four Star Meridians interlaced with each other, making Li Yuan¡¯s overall aura exceptionally different.


    Powerful!


    Unprecedentedly powerful!


    At this moment, while mobilizing the myriad subtle strengths within his body along with his Origin Power, Li Yuan felt an outburst of strength far surpassing anything before.


    If he were to encounter Mo Hu again?


    Li Yuan estimated that it would only take two to three moves to slay him, a truly one-sided curb-stomping.


    ¡°25.9 level?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª-


    [Life Level: 25.9 level (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 413,000 kilograms


    Speed: 258 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 32.8 level


    Willpower: 33 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 40% (Current upper limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: 16 level (Training efficiency 10+1.5+1+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 43%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 43%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± (First Rank 7 level: 7 level)


    ¡­


    ¡°Physical Quality increased by 2.2 levels, Basic Fist Strength went up by about 130,000 kilograms?¡± Li Yuan silently pondered.


    The effect of Origin Power infusion was much better than the Fourth Rank treasure, the ¡°Myriad Life Extension Fruit.¡±


    The Spiritual Power had also increased by a full level.


    If Li Yuan were to solely practice the Visualization Method, it would take him a long time to reach such an increase.


    At the level of 32.8 Spiritual Power, among the many Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan reckoned he was already quite good.


    ¡°Now, if I were to use the Spiritual Secret Technique again, it would be extremely difficult for Mo Hu to easily withstand it,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Even without losing his senses, his strength would be reduced by more than twenty percent.¡±


    ¡°If it were a typical 29 level Prime Warrior, they would likely lose their senses,¡± said Li Yuan, a smile appearing on his lips.


    Li Yuan was extremely satisfied.


    That the Spiritual Secret Technique could play such a big role in a head-on fight¡­ was already quite remarkable.


    However.


    This infusion of Origin Power was not as exciting to Li Yuan due to the physical and Spiritual Power breakthroughs.


    Rather, it was¡ªSpiritual Awakening Level and the Star Meridian.


    ¡°I never expected that reaching 32 level Spiritual Power would meet the requirements to raise my Spiritual Awakening upper limit to 45%,¡± Li Yuan glanced at one of the many unremarkable Divine Palace prompts.


    ¡°[Your Spiritual Power has reached 32 level, Spiritual Awakening upper limit has increased from 40% to 45%]¡±


    Of course.


    Having the Spiritual Awakening upper limit increased to 45% doesn¡¯t affect much for the time being, as even if Li Yuan continues to accumulate to the upper limit, he can¡¯t infuse Origin Power.


    But what¡¯s most important is that it signifies Li Yuan is just one step away from reaching a 50% Spiritual Awakening upper limit.


    ¡°Spiritual Power reaching 32 level has made the upper limit 45%.¡±


    ¡°So, what would the requirement for reaching a 50% upper limit be? Would it need a Spiritual Power of 34 level? Or 35 level?¡± Li Yuan silently speculated and guessed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, like reaching a Life Level of 35 level, it was the normal peak for Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Spiritual Power progressing from 35 to 36 level would also be a big hurdle, and breaking through would be very difficult too.


    ¡°I hope,¡±


    ¡°that the requirements for a 50% Spiritual Awakening upper limit aren¡¯t too high,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself with some anticipation.


    Because once the Spiritual Awakening upper limit reaches 50%, it would trigger a second Spiritual Guidance. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The first Spiritual Guidance allowed Li Yuan to awaken a Perfect Star Vein.


    What about the second?


    ¡°Keep practicing diligently, as long as I persist, and with the continual increase in Spiritual Power, I will naturally reach it,¡± Li Yuan reasoned to himself. ¡°Now with four Star Meridians awakened, and a vast amount of isolated Life Stars¡­ I should not be far from awakening the fifth Star Meridian.¡±


    Li Yuan silently sensed the four Star Meridians inside his body which had undergone immense changes compared to when he had just awakened the fourth one.


    All this was the result of his hours of persistent awakening of Life Stars.


    A Perfect Star Vein.


    One each of a Third Layer, Second Layer, and First Layer Star Vein.


    It is precisely because of this that Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridian Level has reached level 16 all at once.


    ¡°With a Third Layer Star Vein, I can now practice Third Layer Star Techniques.¡± Before entering the Star Realm, Li Yuan had already learned many Third Layer Star Technique Secret Manuals in the Starfire Treasure Repository.


    However, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t planning on practicing them for the time being.


    ¡°My Perfect Star Vein has already chosen to practice a supportive Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Therefore, the second star technique must be one that excels in attack.¡±


    ¡°The second Star Vein has awakened to the Third Layer in such a short time. If I keep practicing, maybe I can awaken it to the Fifth Layer, Sixth Layers,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    In the Prime Warrior stage, the body¡¯s ability to endure is limited, and even if one awakens Five-Star Meridians or Six Star Pulses, they often can practice at most two Star Techniques, with the limit being three.


    Therefore.


    The choice of Star Technique is of great importance.


    ¡°If I want to surpass Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe at level 29, I had better practice a powerful Star Technique next,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Third Layer Star Technique? That would be too weak.


    ¡­


    After clearing his thoughts, Li Yuan began checking his smart ring, which had many messages awaiting his review.


    There were messages from Alicia, Si Feng, among others.


    And also from Wu Manong.


    After reading through them.


    ¡°It seems everything is normal. In these eight hours, Alicia and the others killed a batch of fleeing members of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, but they didn¡¯t encounter any more obstacles, nor were there any experts left,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.

 Chapter 355 - 246: Mintian Hous Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_4

    Chapter 355: Chapter 246: Mintian Hou¡¯s Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_4


    Following the great battle at the Relic Divine Palace not long ago, the entire World within Worlds seemed to finally calm down.


    ¡°Wu Manong¡¯s meaning¡­¡±


    ¡°Let me start venturing into the Relic Divine Palace? Explore its secrets, see if I can find any treasures?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Why do the two great civilizations vie for the World within Worlds?


    Because indeed, the treasures contained within the Relic Divine Palace¡­ part of it forged a demigod of the Seven Star Civilization, the ¡®Flame City Demigod¡¯, and even built a powerful demi-god family, from which Flying Heaven Warriors have emerged in great numbers over the past hundred years.


    So, if one could obtain all the treasures of the entire World within Worlds.


    ...


    How valuable would they be?


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family, Lanyue must have taken a path similar to her ancestor, the ¡®Flame City Demigod¡¯, entering deep into the relics?¡± Li Yuan silently speculated.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan slowly stood up.


    ¡°My physical quality and spiritual power, I can no longer enhance them in a short period of time.¡± Li Yuan had made up his mind, ¡°But Star Techniques, they can still be improved.¡±


    ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± this Star Technique could still be cultivated.


    ¡°With the Divine Crystal Energy Concentration in the mysterious chamber, it will take at most another day or two, and I should be able to cultivate it to its limit,¡± Li Yuan leaped towards the bottom of the canyon here.


    His quiet place of cultivation was not far from the ¡®mysterious chamber¡¯ at the bottom of the canyon, just a few kilometers away.


    ¡°Just right.¡±


    ¡°If I now venture into the Relic Divine Palace and accidentally get trapped inside, and if high-level masters from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom come to kill¡­ Alicia and the others might not be able to hold them off,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    ¡°Hmm, if they send people again, I¡¯ll just slap them all to death.¡± Li Yuan was very confident in his own strength.


    Talents like Mo Hu were extremely rare.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom sending even stronger envoys? The probability is very low. Perhaps such talents exist, but the chance that they are currently at the First Order is too slim.


    ¡°Wait two more days, confirm that Gu Yue Divine Kingdom dares not send more masters into the World within Worlds, then it would not be too late to venture into the Relic Divine Palace.¡±


    Li Yuan did not think there would be any problem with going two days later.


    To be precise, if he could cultivate a Supreme Star Technique to perfection, his chances would be even greater.


    Soon.


    In utter darkness, Li Yuan followed his senses and approached the mysterious chamber.


    ¡°Exotic Beasts?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power could sense countless exotic beasts lurking in the darkness around him.


    But perhaps after witnessing Li Yuan¡¯s formidable strength, not a single one of those countless beasts dared to approach him, let alone attack.


    Unhindered.


    ¡°The stone door, it¡¯s closed again?¡± Li Yuan arrived at the chamber¡¯s large door and paused.


    He remembered not closing the stone door when he left¡­ because he didn¡¯t know how to close it from the outside.


    After pondering.


    Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone door and applied a slight force throughout his body, slowly pushing open the immensely heavy stone door.


    Boom!


    A surge of powerful Origin Power fluctuations and Divine Crystal Energy gushed out along the stone door.


    Li Yuan still cautiously used his Divine Sense to confirm no one was inside the chamber.


    ¡°Enter!¡±


    Stepping into the chamber, Li Yuan once again sat cross-legged, sensing the rich Earth Origin Crystal Energy inside, with the cultivation mysteries of the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± emerging in his mind.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°We need to wait another two days?¡± Alicia received the message from Li Yuan just before he entered the chamber.


    ¡°Let us continue to patrol, guarding the Relic Divine Palace?¡±


    ¡°Once we encounter unbeatable masters, we should immediately call for help?¡± Alicia looked at Li Yuan¡¯s orders.


    After brief contemplation.


    She passed the order to Si Feng, Kross, and the others.


    ¡°Alicia, that Li Yuan must have a big secret. I suspect he discovered something in the core of that mining vein¡­¡± A young voice rang out in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°Why not, we descend to the bottom of the canyon and see for ourselves?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s be cautious. As for Li Yuan?¡± Alicia shook her head, her mind involuntarily envisioning the handsome young man¡¯s face: ¡°Since he said two days, let¡¯s wait for him two more days.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not too late to ask him after two days.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed, and about five hours after Li Yuan entered the chamber.


    The once dark chamber was now slightly illuminated¡­ Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the center, was surrounded by a faint earthy yellow glow.


    ¡°116,620 Life Stars.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°116,630 Life Stars.¡± Li Yuan focused intently, his powerful spiritual consciousness continuously branding Star Marks on each Life Star.


    Finally.


    ¡°116,640 Life Stars.¡± Li Yuan sensed precisely as the last Life Star was branded with the Star Mark.


    This also signified that the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± Star Technique had truly reached the First Order Limit.


    In that instant!


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Perfect Star Vein burst forth with dazzling light.


    The brilliance was so intense that the whole chamber seemed like daylight.

    Huh! sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had just stepped into the plaza.


    He hadn¡¯t even approached the steps of the towering main hall when he felt an invisible fluctuation forming out of thin air about thirty meters away from himself.


    ¡°Hmm? Not good,¡± Li Yuan, whose spiritual power was incredibly strong, immediately sensed the anomaly.


    He was just about to retreat when it was already too late.


    Buzz~ The invisible fluctuation instantly invaded Li Yuan¡¯s body, seemingly containing a destructive force that made Li Yuan¡¯s heart shudder, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.


    ...


    In an instant, Li Yuan was suppressed by this force, frozen in place.


    Unable to move!


    ¡°What? What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Yuan was shocked, this was not mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence.


    Could it be that the information was false?


    However, the destructive restraining power was too overwhelming, and even as Li Yuan burst out with all his might in an instant¡­ he still couldn¡¯t budge an inch.


    This scene made Li Yuan think of Mo Hu¡¯s death, but the restraining power last time was even more terrifying, as it had outright immobilized space itself.


    This time, it was only restraining Li Yuan.


    Just a few seconds later, without giving Li Yuan time to think¡­


    Whoosh~


    Several meters away, several strands of purple light appeared out of nowhere.


    No sooner had the light concentrated than it shot towards Li Yuan, and immediately, strands of a strange force infiltrated Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    Cold! That was Li Yuan¡¯s only sensation.


    ¡°Is this to check my body? To probe my details?¡± Li Yuan wondered in astonishment, guessing.


    With his level of skill, he could only detect the presence of this strange force¡­ which in the blink of an eye swept over Li Yuan¡¯s entire body and even attempted to penetrate into the sea of his consciousness within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­


    No sooner had it tried to infiltrate¡­


    Buzz~ Li Yuan felt the Mind Spirit Divine Palace suddenly emit waves of invisible fluctuations, as if concealing its existence¡­ The strange force quickly swept past the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    And then it completely dissipated.


    The strands of light shining on him also vanished abruptly, and the destructive restraining force that had assailed him dispersed just as suddenly.


    Within the plaza, everything returned to normal.


    As though¡­


    Nothing had happened to Li Yuan at all.


    ¡°What exactly is going on?¡± Li Yuan puzzled in his heart, ¡°What is this situation? The Divine Heritage¡­ No wonder the Blazing Flame Family said they only uncovered a bit of the mystery; there¡¯s still so much unknown¡­ Based on the many clues before, the World within Worlds indeed contains great secrets.¡±


    ¡°However, they likely didn¡¯t mean to kill me,¡± Li Yuan reflected, recalling how Mo Hu died.


    He understood that the forces behind the World within Worlds could easily kill him if they wished.


    Just a few seconds later.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± A wave of elemental fluctuation emerged once more, transmitting directly into Li Yuan¡¯s mind. This fluctuation contained two pieces of information.


    ¡°Congratulations, your talent matches the ¡®Earth Divine Inheritance Candidate¡¯ criteria, and you are qualified to start the ¡®Divine Heritage Assessment.¡¯ If you pass the threefold trials, you will be eligible for the ¡®Earth Divine Inheritance.¡¯ You have one minute to decide whether to participate in the assessment. Participating in the assessment will carry a risk of death.¡±


    ¡°If you wish to participate, stand still, and the assessment will begin after one minute; if you choose to leave, then you will exit the ¡®Divine Palace.''¡±


    These two pieces of information were not in the form of text or images, but rather a type of spiritual fluctuation Li Yuan found difficult to comprehend.


    Yet Li Yuan could clearly understand the meaning they conveyed.


    ¡°Earth Divine Inheritance? An inheritance test?¡± Li Yuan was astonished, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: ¡°Wasn¡¯t it said in the intelligence that the World within Worlds was left behind by a Fire System Divine?¡±


    This information had never been mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence.


    However!


    Li Yuan had long anticipated the existence of treasures within the World within Worlds and his thoughts raced as he analyzed the information.


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence, which is information given by the ¡®Demigod of Flame City,¡¯ it is highly likely that this World within Worlds is a remnant of a ¡®Fire System Divine,¡¯ but there are also many other benefits¡­ just now, my talent was likely tested by those behind the scenes.¡±


    ¡°But why would there be an Earth System Divine inheritance as well?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that this World within Worlds is the legacy of multiple Divines?¡±


    ¡°I originally thought that as someone not from the lineage of fire, I wouldn¡¯t be able to access any divine treasures or inheritances, but to my surprise, there¡¯s still hope to acquire a Divine Inheritance.¡± Li Yuan made a vague judgment in his heart: ¡°Should I take the plunge?¡±


    To take the plunge would have both advantages and disadvantages.


    One might gain enormously, but there was also the risk of death¡­ crucially, the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence had never mentioned an ¡®Earth System Divine Inheritance.¡¯


    That meant there were no experiences to draw on, leaving Li Yuan unable to assess the level of danger.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take the plunge,¡± Li Yuan decided after just a few seconds.


    Having come this far.


    ¡°A Divine Inheritance, how rare is that? The entire Seven Star Civilization hasn¡¯t yet produced a Divine Being. ¡± A trace of longing appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°While receiving a Divine Being Inheritance doesn¡¯t guarantee becoming a Divine Being, it undoubtedly greatly increases the hope.¡±


    Even if he were to go to Feixing in the future and accept the so-called ¡®Martial God Inheritance,¡¯ it would still be an inheritance formed by the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, not necessarily comparable to a true ¡®Divine Being Inheritance.¡¯


    Such an opportunity was too rare.


    He had to seize it!


    One shouldn¡¯t take risks lightly, as life-and-death challenges could easily lead to death¡­ but upon encountering a great opportunity, one must also take the risk.


    Moreover, Li Yuan believed that even if a Divine Being was selecting a successor, his talent surely gave him a chance to be chosen.


    Time passed.


    After a minute.


    Buzz~ Another invisible fluctuation reached Li Yuan¡¯s mind, the message straightforward¡ª¡±The test is about to begin, survive the first two trials to live; fail to meet the criteria in the first two trials, and die!¡±

 Chapter 361 - 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_2

    Chapter 361: Chapter 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_2


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan immediately understood that he had to pass at least the first two layers of the triple trial.


    Only two seconds later.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a violent wind arose in the plaza over 200 meters in diameter, sweeping along countless grains of sand. Following closely, Li Yuan watched with his own eyes as the sand began to coalesce¡­ eventually forming a figure clad in earthy yellow combat armor, holding a long spear. He was quite dazzling, resembling a war god.


    His eyes were the only feature of blood-red color, staring intently at Li Yuan.


    ...


    ¡°[Target Life Level is 25, no life features detected, killing will not yield Spiritual Nature nutrients]¡± Li Yuan employed Divine Palace Inquiry straight away.


    The results of the inquiry instantly reminded Li Yuan of the numerous black exotic beasts he had encountered at the bottom of the canyon.


    Linked in sequence!


    ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡± Li Yuan marveled internally, the methods of the World within Worlds surpassed his imagination.


    What was the assessment? To kill the opponent?


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Even more ferocious winds lifted, stirring the sand on the ground, following which an even greater number of earthy yellow figures emerged densely packed around Li Yuan.


    ¡°Turning sand into humans?¡± Li Yuan felt increasingly shocked as he immediately employed Divine Palace Inquiry once more.


    All of them were Level 25.


    ¡°Thirty-six?¡± With a sweep of his gaze, Li Yuan confirmed all the earthy yellow warlike figures.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The first earthy yellow figure that appeared let out a low roar.


    The language he roared was not the ¡°Seven Stars Language¡± but Li Yuan could sense the meaning he wished to convey.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± The thirty-six earthy yellow figures roared in anger, erupting simultaneously, converging from all sides towards Li Yuan at the center.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s hand flashed with the Black Chen Spear, followed by a covering of the Origin Power Battle Suit over his entire body, a faint earthy yellow glow emerging from the garment, turning him into the spitting image of a war god.


    By now, how could Li Yuan not understand? This part of the trial probably required him to defeat all thirty-six gatekeepers, or perhaps even to kill them.


    Thirty-six Level 25 warriors?


    ¡°I really want to see how tough this Earth System Divine Being Inheritance¡¯s trial can be,¡± Li Yuan said, darting forward, his figure passing through several gatekeepers like a gust of wind.


    He burst out of the encirclement.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The instant he broke free from the encirclement, his long spear in hand thrust forward with a howling sound, the terrifying force stabbing out, hammering into the head of one of the gatekeepers.


    Boom~


    It was as if he had struck a giant sandbag, the gatekeeper¡¯s head exploding under the force of Li Yuan¡¯s thrust.


    But he did not fall.


    Rustling~ Countless scattering grains of sand quickly flowed back and reformed the gatekeeper¡¯s head!


    ¡°Ha!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The other gatekeepers were already rushing towards him, their long spears howling with fierce might.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± Li Yuan wielded his spear, fending off the blows one after the other with ease given his strength.


    But Li Yuan was feeling a sense of urgency.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t they be killed? The black exotic beasts I encountered in the canyon, though also lacking life features, could die if hit in the vitals. Why are these gatekeepers different?¡± Li Yuan struggled to keep calm.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    The spear light was dazzling; Li Yuan easily pierced through the bodies of the gatekeepers, causing their heads to shatter, chests to rip open, or arms to break¡­ but no matter what he did, even if their bodies completely exploded, they would recover quickly.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± The number of gatekeepers was formidable, as many as 36. Even though a few of them were temporarily incapacitated by Li Yuan¡¯s attacks, their places were quickly taken by others.


    Despite the limited space, there were always at least ten gatekeepers able to attack Li Yuan at any one time.


    ¡°Dodge?¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    The plaza was only so big, a mere two hundred meters in diameter. With the Burst Speed of a Level 25 Prime Warrior, one can dash from one end to the other in a single bound.


    ¡°All or nothing.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes grew cold; he had no path of retreat.


    According to the message he received earlier, should the trial end in failure, death was certain.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The Black Chen Spear in Li Yuan¡¯s hands erupted with terrifying power, the spear light shining like stars, dazzling and flowing, converging like a river, easily blocking the assaults of the gatekeepers.


    True Intent special move¡ªGalaxy Spiral!


    In terms of skills and strength, Li Yuan far surpassed these gatekeepers.


    Especially with the operation of his Perfect Star Veins within and the vague connection with the Earth Vein, the might of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique surged greatly.


    ¡°Thump~¡± As the spear light collided with the weapon of one of the gatekeepers, the terrifying force transmitted instantly caused cracks to appear on both of the gatekeeper¡¯s arms.


    The disparity in strength was astonishing.


    The skills displayed by these gatekeepers were only at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level¡­ it was only their astonishing number and their Undying Bodies that forced Li Yuan to be on the defensive just to protect himself.


    Time passed.


    One after another, gatekeepers were knocked down only to rise again, as Li Yuan fought with all his might, his Origin Power also being furiously consumed¡­ With the Sea of Source Energy newly formed, the direct amplification of Origin Power on strength for a Prime Warrior was not significant.


    However, Origin Power can continuously eliminate the weariness of muscles and bones and merge with flesh to immensely boost defense¡­ A Prime Warrior who exhausted his Origin Power would see their combat prowess decline by at least half.


    ¡°What should I do?¡±


    ¡°Even after being killed over and over, their strength doesn¡¯t diminish.¡± Li Yuan tried numerous methods, growing more anxious by the moment.


    Originally, Li Yuan believed that with each attack, the strength of these gatekeepers would wane until they were completely dead.


    But that was not the case.


    A weak spot? They were made of sand, without any weaknesses.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The thirty-six gatekeepers, overwhelming like a deluge, besieged Li Yuan. They were like puppets¡­ with only the instinct to fight and kill.

    Chapter 362: Chapter 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_3


    And what about Li Yuan? He could only endure!


    Endure until death!


    ¡°There must be a chance.¡±


    ¡°There must be! The inheritance test couldn¡¯t possibly be designed to be unpassable.¡±


    ¡°It might be a time-limited test. As long as I hold on for a while, I should be able to pass.¡± Another possibility flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, giving him even more motivation to persist.


    But!!


    ...


    One minute, two minutes¡­ ten minutes¡­ thirty minutes¡­ This was an excruciatingly long battle.


    So long that it made Li Yuan¡¯s heart tremble.


    He could easily fend off the attacks of the Gatekeepers, but he couldn¡¯t completely ignore them¡­ His physical strength and Origin Power were constantly being depleted. Again and again, the battles and close combat were a torment to Li Yuan¡¯s spirit.


    In the blink of an eye, forty minutes had passed.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The thirty-six Gatekeepers were still roaring, continuously besieging Li Yuan.


    ¡°Haven¡¯t I met the requirements yet?¡± Li Yuan was nearly driven mad.


    This was definitely the longest battle of his life, even longer than the one in Flying Serpent Valley¡­ At least in that battle, he could see hope.


    ¡°Hold on.¡±


    ¡°Hang in there until the end.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power inside him had long been greatly depleted, yet he was still hanging on.


    Fortunately, the operation of his four Star Meridians, especially the Perfect Star Vein¡­ allowed the Origin Power within Li Yuan to recover at an astonishing rate.


    According to the Divine Palace panel display, the training efficiency was 13, a level many peers with Six Star Pulse couldn¡¯t reach.


    In an instant.


    Another ten minutes passed¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power inside him was finally exhausted.


    Even if the Star Meridians were operating and regenerating, it was still far from enough to compensate for the battle consumption¡­ He could only rely purely on his flesh and blood to forge ahead.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡°Pffft~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was extraordinarily sharp, still hitting one Gatekeeper after another.


    This was a protracted battle.


    A full forty more minutes passed¡­ Li Yuan fought with all his might, his body was to the point of extreme fatigue, and his Spear Technique was a lot slower than at the beginning, purely relying on his high skill to hold on until now.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± A Gatekeeper¡¯s Long Spear whistled, thrusting straight toward Li Yuan¡¯s head!


    If it had been before, Li Yuan could have easily dodged.


    But now? Li Yuan was simply too exhausted. He could only watch helplessly as the Long Spear thrust toward him.


    Without the enhancement of Origin Power in the Battle Garment, this thrust would be enough to severely wound or even kill Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is it ending for me?¡±


    ¡°This Earth System Divine Being Inheritance, it¡¯s so difficult¡­ I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m going to die in the very first test of the inheritance.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart filled with unwillingness, yet he was completely out of options.


    Human strength has limits.


    But just when that Guardian roared, and his spear tip touched Li Yuan¡ªan instant.


    Whoosh~


    A breeze blew through and in an instant, the thirty-six Gatekeepers¡¯ bodies crumbled inch by inch into yellow sand and dissipated.


    The whole square quieted down all at once.


    ¡°I¡­ passed?¡± Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    Hum~


    An invisible fluctuation instantly transmitted into Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Congratulations, you have passed the first layer of the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance test with a ¡®Perfect Level¡¯ evaluation. Please proceed to the main hall for the second layer test.¡±


    ¡°Perfect Level?¡± Li Yuan vaguely understood that he probably met the test criteria long ago.


    But this so-called test was designed to push him to his limits.


    In fact, under the pressure of life and death, the nearly two hours of frantic battling greatly honed Li Yuan¡¯s spear-fighting skills without him realizing it, improving it to Fifth Stage 45%.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    Li Yuan let out a breath of relief, and his entire body directly collapsed to the ground, closing his eyes.


    He was too tired.


    His prolonged endurance had been entirely driven by the instinct to survive. Now that the assessment was passed, he let himself relax completely.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    ¡°Phew!¡± With his eyes closed, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness instantly descended into the ¡®Mind Spirit Divine Palace.¡¯


    He lay on the ground and began to practice the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    ¡­


    This session of practice lasted two hours, and Li Yuan lay on the square the entire time.


    He slowly opened his eyes, which had regained their clarity.


    Standing up, all traces of fatigue had vanished.


    ¡°The Visualization Method is really miraculous,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, then turned his gaze towards the distant main hall: ¡°Is the second layer test inside the main hall? My body might have shaken off the fatigue, but having exhausted my Origin Power earlier, only a third has recovered so far.¡±


    He sat down cross-legged.


    Phew! Li Yuan began running the four Star Meridians, frantically absorbing the Origin Power from the surroundings¡­ After the first layer test, Li Yuan dared not be the slightest bit careless.


    He must face the second layer test in his peak condition.


    ¡­


    Three hours later, Li Yuan had fully recovered and cautiously stepped onto the stairs leading to the main hall.


    Fifty-five steps.


    From the outside, one couldn¡¯t glimpse into the interior of the main hall, but as soon as Li Yuan stepped inside.


    Hum~ His vision flashed, and he immediately saw the inside of the hall.


    This was an ancient hall, far less towering than it appeared from the outside. At the end of the hall stood a Golden Divine Pillar about ten meters high with a diameter of at least three meters¡­ The surface of the Divine Pillar seemed to be carved with countless mysterious runes, emitting an invisible Spiritual Fluctuation.


    ¡°A Pillar of Spirit?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrunk slightly, instantly thinking of the copper pillar located at the base of the Vermilion Bird Building in Kunlun Martial University.


    The two looked incredibly similar.


    The Pillar of Spirit was the treasure of Kunlun Martial University¡­ It just seemed less important because Li Yuan had the Visualization Method.


    ¡°Could it be that the second layer test is a test of Willpower and Spiritual Power?¡± The thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The next moment.


    Boom! The Golden Divine Pillar at the end of the hall suddenly burst into radiant light, covering the entire hall and enveloping Li Yuan as well.


    Waves of intense spiritual pressure enveloped him.


    ¡°Is it really a test of Spiritual Power and Willpower?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.

 Chapter 363 - 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_4

    Chapter 363: Chapter 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_4


    This radiance held an intangible impact, its might extremely astonishing. For an ordinary Prime Warrior, they would probably faint in an instant¡­ but given Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual will, he naturally withstood it with ease.


    Hum~


    Without a sound, as if sensing that Li Yuan had easily withstood it, the golden Divine Pillar¡¯s glow became even more resplendent, the spiritual oppression it contained growing increasingly terrifying.


    ¡°Hold on!¡± Li Yuan knew he had no choice.


    Withdraw?


    To retreat from the hall would likely mean a failed trial, certain death¡­ but to what extent must one endure the spiritual pressure to pass the trial? There was no hint whatsoever.


    ...


    So, Li Yuan still had only one path¡ªendure at all costs!!


    The longer, the better.


    Hum~


    In just a short minute, the light released by the golden Divine Pillar had almost materialized, and the dreadful spiritual oppression had altered Li Yuan¡¯s complexion, forcing him to grit his teeth and hold on for dear life.


    It was truly too terrifying.


    ¡°I fear that an ordinary Prime Warrior would suffer mental collapse in an extremely short span of time,¡± said Li Yuan, expressionless.


    With spiritual power reaching 32.8 and willpower at 33¡­ speaking purely of spiritual will, Li Yuan was already outstanding among those at the Flying Heaven Level.


    Time passed!


    Oppression!


    The ever more horrifying oppression had now reached the peak of the Flying Heaven Level and was still increasing, causing Li Yuan to feel a stunning level of pressure.


    Under such terrifying oppression, an ordinary Prime Warrior would likely faint and lose consciousness instantly.


    What about an ordinary First Rank Martial Artist? They would directly suffer a mental breakdown, becoming insane or even meet death.


    ¡°Hold on!¡± Li Yuan clenched his teeth, still going all out, feeling even his thought process slowing down.


    As time went on, Li Yuan¡¯s face was subtly turning pale.


    Hum~ That golden Divine Pillar, its nature unknown, continued to escalate the spiritual oppression, quickly surpassing the domain of the Flying Heaven Peak and climbing toward the Semi Divine Level.


    Finally, when a certain limit was reached.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan felt a tremor in his spirit, the world went dark before his eyes, and he fainted outright.


    Completely unconscious.


    ¡­ After an unknown duration, Li Yuan slowly came to, his head feeling as if it was about to explode.


    Pain!


    This sort of brute endurance against spiritual oppression to the limit was inherently a form of torture to one¡¯s spiritual will.


    At the end of the hall, the previously radiant golden Divine Pillar had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°I¡¯m not dead; I must have passed the trial,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was still clear.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Two intangible fluctuations came through: ¡°Congratulations, you have passed the Second Layer trial of the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance, graded as ¡®Perfect Level¡¯, and will be heading to the final trial site to face the Third Layer trial.¡± sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°If not passed, a gift will be bestowed upon you, and you may leave the place of inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if you pass the Third Layer trial and ultimately do not wish to accept the inheritance, you will still be presented with a gift and may depart.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    His trial at the Second Layer was graded as Perfect Level, he understood, after all, only First Rank life forms could enter the World within Worlds, and even if one broke through to Second Rank in a short time, how strong could their spiritual consciousness be?


    But.


    ¡°To pass the Third Layer trial and still not wish to accept the inheritance? To be allowed to leave on one¡¯s own accord?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind was filled with various thoughts.


    ¡°Could it be, does this Earth System Divine Being Inheritance contain dangers that I¡¯m unaware of?¡±


    ¡­


    In the deepest reaches of the World within Worlds, a mysterious place.


    A vast and grand hall stood.


    On a meditation cushion, a girl clad in a flame-red robe sat cross-legged, silently cultivating.


    Around her, wisps of flames seemed to flicker faintly.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Lanyue, an Inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being has appeared, exceptional in every way,¡± a gentle voice spoke: ¡°He¡­ even without the inheritance, likely possesses the potential of a Divine Being, far surpassing you.¡±

 Chapter 364 - 249 Origin (Extra 40)

    Chapter 364: Chapter 249 Origin (Extra 40)


    ¡°Far surpass me?¡±


    ¡°Could possess the potential to become a divine being without receiving a Divine Being Inheritance?¡± Lin Lanyue, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of surprise flashing across them.


    Half a month into the inheritance site.


    She was fully aware of how proud the Boundary Spirit was; even though she had surpassed her ancestors in the purity of her bloodline after her Bloodline Awakening, perfectly matching the requirements to inherit the Divine Artifact and thus becoming a ¡®Fire System Divine¡¯s named disciple.¡¯


    Like the Nirvana Divine Scripture of the Blazing Flame Family, it was actually obtained from a Fire System Divine by a demigod of Flame City.


    Yet, according to the Boundary Spirit, her true Comprehension and talent were still far from sufficient.


    ...


    As for becoming a true inheritor of the Divine Being? She herself still had a long way to go, and might never succeed.


    The inheritance left behind by a divine being on the brink of death always had exceedingly high requirements, even for named disciples.


    In the words of the Boundary Spirit, if she practiced step by step within the Seven Star Civilization, she might have a slim hope of becoming a Demigod.


    But now, the Boundary Spirit was saying that this person had the potential to become a ¡®Divine Being¡¯ on their own?


    It seemed that this person had a chance to become an Earth System Divine Inheritor.


    When did her family have someone with such high talent?


    How was she not aware of it?


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°According to my observation of the World within Worlds during this period, he should be someone you know,¡± said the gentle voice. ¡°Moreover, he should be here to save you.¡±


    ¡°Save me? Someone I know?¡± Lin Lanyue was momentarily stunned.


    She had been trapped in the World within Worlds for half a month, constantly facing many trials from the ¡®Fire System Divine.¡¯


    Based on the ¡®Bloodline Token¡¯ given to her by her ancestor, the outside world should be aware she hadn¡¯t died.


    Why would someone be sent to save her?


    She was nearly unreachable inside the Relic Divine Palace, which her ancestor should have known.


    Had something happened?


    ¡°See for yourself.¡± The gentle voice sounded again, and following that, countless rays of light converged, and a massive light screen appeared out of nowhere.


    Appearing on the screen was the figure of someone standing silently in the palace, waiting.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s pupils constricted slightly because she was all too familiar with this figure.


    Li Yuan?


    ¡°Why is Li Yuan here?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart surged with shock and joy.


    The World within Worlds was controlled by the Blazing Flame Family, and theoretically, outsiders shouldn¡¯t be allowed in.


    Moreover, considering the time.


    Less than a month had passed since the virtual combat of the Blue Star Grand Competition had ended.


    ¡°Li Yuan has the potential to become a divine being?¡± Lin Lanyue recalled what the Boundary Spirit had just said, feeling somewhat shocked.


    She trusted the Boundary Spirit¡¯s judgement.


    She knew Li Yuan was extremely talented, but she never imagined it would be to this extent.


    A Divine Being?


    The entire Seven Star Civilization had yet to give birth to a Divine Being.


    ¡°It seems you do know him,¡± the gentle voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing.


    ¡°An Earth System Divine seems much stronger than your master, right? Their inheritance requirements must be much higher,¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help saying. ¡°Does Li Yuan have a chance to receive the inheritance directly?¡±


    As a candidate for the Divine Being Inheritance.


    Although she was limited in strength, merely a named disciple of the Fire System Divine, she was already privy to many secrets of the World within Worlds.


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°You should understand that master, that is, your mentor, was but a follower of that Earth System Divine,¡± continued the gentle voice. ¡°It was just during that great battle long ago that the Earth System Divine was mortally wounded, undoubtedly dying, and, with their last effort, managed to send the master away¡­ but the master also couldn¡¯t escape the fate of death, and only then was this World within Worlds created before they perished.¡±


    ¡°She left behind two Divine Being Inheritances, one of her own and the other of that Earth System Divine.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    This World within Worlds was left by her cheap master, so the outside world¡¯s Inquiry naturally concerned the Fire lineage¡­ but in reality, it contained another even more powerful legacy¡­ left by her master¡¯s own master.


    Originally, Lin Lanyue had planned to return to the Seven Star Civilization when she was strong enough.


    To then have some talents of the civilization attempt to pass the trials of the World within Worlds, to see if they could acquire the Earth System Divine¡¯s inheritance.


    Unexpectedly.


    Li Yuan had come so soon, and quickly earned the recognition of the Boundary Spirit.


    ¡°Boundary Spirit, how is Li Yuan?¡± Lin Lanyue asked.


    ¡°In terms of potential, he should be enough. His talent far exceeds yours, not to mention that you are not yet the direct disciple of the master; even if you eventually became one, your chances of achieving Divine status in the future are probably not as high as his,¡± the gentle voice spoke plainly. ¡°However, the ultimate trial of the Earth System Divine Inheritance was personally left by the Divine long ago¡­ what exactly it is, I am not clear.¡±


    Lin Lanyue listened carefully.


    She could infer from the few words left by her master the terrifying extent of that Earth System Divine, far surpassing her master.


    ¡°However, there seems to be a powerful Divine behind your fellow villager,¡± the gentle voice said.


    ¡°Another powerful Divine?¡± Lin Lanyue was astonished. ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    In the Seven Star human civilization thus far, no Divine had ever appeared.


    ¡°Not sure.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that he really is mysterious, containing great secrets,¡± said the gentle voice. ¡°The slight threat he poses to me, apart from a powerful Divinity, I can think of nothing else.¡±


    ¡°So, I haven¡¯t delved deeper.¡±


    ¡°In this endless timespace, there are many secrets, and they need not always be probed,¡± the gentle voice said. ¡°Sometimes, it can bring disaster instead.¡±


    ¡°Remember the reason for the demise of your mentor and their master¡­ always be in awe of the endless timespace,¡± the gentle voice advised.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Lin Lanyue responded solemnly. She was clear on the reasons for the fall of the two Divinities.


    They died very unfairly.


    But it was not unjust.


    ¡°It seems he has awakened a Nine Layers Star Vein and cultivated a Supreme Star Technique as well,¡± the gentle voice said.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Vein?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart was increasingly shocked, ¡°Has he already become a Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°So soon?¡±


    As a named disciple of a Divine Being, her vision had become far superior to the past.


    Time passed.


    With the Boundary Spirit¡¯s narrative, Lin Lanyue approximately understood some events inside the World within Worlds and also learned of many things Li Yuan had done, which increasingly astonished her.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength had grown to this extent?


    ¡°The inheritance left by the Earth System Divine Being is not for you to decide; you only have the right to know,¡± the gentle voice spoke, ¡°Let¡¯s see if he can pass the trial. If he can surpass the ultimate test of inheritance, he will also come here and initially control the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    ¡°Furthermore,¡± sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The ¡®Divine Artifact¡¯ left by the master, even the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being is eligible to contend for it, as it was indeed left by the Earth System Divine Being,¡± the gentle voice continued, ¡°That Divine Artifact is extremely precious and involves major implications. The owner of the master perished because of it.¡±


    ¡°Once Li Yuan obtains the Earth System Divine Being¡¯s inheritance, given his talents, he is highly likely to acquire the Divine Artifact before you,¡± said the gentle voice.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡±


    ¡°That Divine Artifact¡­ my master mentioned in his Divine Sense¡¯s shadow image that his greatest regret in life was obtaining it,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head slightly, ¡°Not to mention that I¡¯m just a named disciple, even if I were to become a Direct Disciple, according to the master¡¯s wishes, he advised me not to covet it.¡±


    Lin Lanyue was self-aware; becoming a named disciple was already due to her Bloodline Awakening.


    If she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, that would be a stroke of luck.


    The ultimate legacy¡¯s Divine Artifact, at least, was not something she currently dared to entertain.


    According to the master¡¯s wishes, if she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, all she needed to do was return the Divine Artifact¡­ and she would fulfill the last will.


    As for that Divine Artifact?


    Essentially, it was meant for the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being.


    ¡­


    Deep within the Divine Palace ruins, within that Divine Hall.


    ¡°Where is the Third Layer trial? Isn¡¯t it starting yet?¡± Li Yuan wondered inwardly.


    Suddenly~


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the Divine Hall, ¡°You may call me the Boundary Spirit, and I am also the controller of the entire world.¡±


    ¡°Boundary Spirit?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    He instantly realized that the whisper he had captured with his spiritual power when Mo Hu died must have been from this entity.


    ¡°The ultimate legacy site will take some time to open,¡± the voice of Boundary Spirit resounded, ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for you to choose.¡±


    ¡°If you wish,¡± she continued, ¡°I will send you to the ultimate legacy site.¡±


    ¡°If you do not wish, then I will send you away,¡± said Boundary Spirit.


    ¡°I have to choose?¡± Li Yuan reflected on his previous speculation.


    ¡°I have no control over what happens at the ultimate legacy site. Furthermore, the Earth System Divine Being fell because an enemy killed him. That Divine enemy will surely aim to kill you with all they have once they learn you¡¯re the inheritor,¡± the Boundary Spirit spoke indifferently, ¡°Consider the gains and losses for yourself.¡±


    ¡°You have one minute to decide.¡±


    ¡°Whether to go to the Earth System Divine Being¡¯s ultimate legacy site,¡± the Boundary Spirit said gently.


    Without further thought, Li Yuan smiled and said, ¡°I accept.¡±


    An enemy Divine Being? Hunting me?


    What a joke, first they have to find me.


    Just like my senior Dongfang Ji, how many strong beings from different civilizations wish to kill him? Surely, there must be Divine Beings among them, but has anyone succeeded?


    On the contrary, it seems there are quite a few Demigods slaughtered by Dongfang Ji, with his name known among many Foreign Civilizations.


    If one is strong, why fear an enemy?


    The more Li Yuan learned and the higher his horizons rose¡­ the stronger his desire to become a Divine Being became.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Prepare for transmission,¡± the Boundary Spirit¡¯s voice remained gentle, ¡°Three, two, one.¡±


    A hum~ An invisible wave enveloped Li Yuan, and in the next moment, he vanished from the Divine Hall.


    ¡­


    A mysterious place deep within the World within Worlds.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept by.


    Li Yuan felt darkness before his eyes, and after several seconds, when everything cleared, he was already in a vast, completely sealed hall.


    ¡°The air is filled with such a rich scent of Origin Power fluctuations,¡± Li Yuan marveled silently, observing this hall.


    Imposingly magnificent.


    On both sides, more than a dozen Divine Pillars supported it, each hundreds of meters tall. The throne in the temple was also exceptionally massive¡­ but in the Seven Star Civilization, there were almost no such structures.


    After all, what size must the inhabitant be?


    ¡°Could it be that this Earth System Divine Being was a giant?¡± Li Yuan pondered to himself.


    He couldn¡¯t help but walk towards the center of the great hall.


    The entire hall¡¯s decoration was very simple, with no carvings or reliefs on the pillars.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan looked towards the right side wall of the imposing hall, a thousand meters away, where countless patterns were engraved.


    They seemed to depict the scenes of stars and starry skies.


    ¡°A starry sky map?¡± Li Yuan was initially startled.


    Then he was captivated by the humongous starry mural, feeling as if it contained a certain mystery.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Stellar True Intent,¡± Li Yuan quickly caught on to a trace of mystery.

 Chapter 365 - 250: Map of Myriad Stars

    Chapter 365: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars


    ¡°Stellar True Intent?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was shaken, ¡°I¡¯ve never sensed the fluctuation of Stellar True Intent so clearly.¡±


    For such a long time,


    ever since he began cultivating ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± at the Subtlety level, Li Yuan had been practicing the Secret Manual that contained Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s various insights and guidance on ¡®Stellar True Intent¡¯.


    It was precisely because of this Secret Manual that Li Yuan was able to cultivate faster on the path towards Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Borrowing insights from the manual to comprehend the nature¡¯s intricate Mystery, he made his Spear Technique advance even more rapidly.


    But the various guidances of ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± were essentially still very vague¡­ many intricacies were indefinable and inexpressible.


    ...


    When Li Yuan stepped into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, and especially after creating the True Intent Killing Move ¡®Star River Whirl¡¯, this feeling became even more intense.


    Like now, Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation of Spear Technique relied more on his own comprehension and speculation¡­ The operation of heaven and earth contained countless intricate fluctuations, and it was extremely difficult to find the True Intent fluctuations that best suited him.


    Fortunately, Li Yuan¡¯s Comprehension was extremely high to begin with, and he had obtained a Flying Heaven Level soul, so cultivating ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± made him highly compatible with the Earth Vein.


    Therefore, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was advancing faster and faster, but he was still far from truly mastering Stellar True Intent.


    ¡°Now, this Stellar True Intent fluctuation,¡± Li Yuan held his breath, looking up at the gigantic stone wall engraved with countless starry scenes.


    The entire stone wall was over a hundred meters wide and more than fifty meters high¡­ incredibly vast.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, the Stellar Stone Wall in front of him had already exceeded the value of all the treasures he had ever obtained.


    Ultimate treasure!


    This was definitely an ultimate treasure!


    Because by sensing the Stellar fluctuations emanating from the stone wall, and then incorporating them with his own, Li Yuan could probably speed up the cultivation of his Spear Technique by a large margin.


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Principal Fang Hai both said,¡±


    ¡°Comprehending heaven and earth, they can hardly provide guidance, it depends more on oneself,¡± Li Yuan looked up and said, ¡°Wrong! They were wrong!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t provide guidance,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that their realms are not high enough¡­ Observing and comprehending this massive stone wall is like having a real ¡®True Intent instructor¡¯ for guidance,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone brightly.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, he had immense respect for that unseen ¡®Earth System Divine,¡¯ to the utmost extent.


    Truly divine!


    ¡°Only, how am I supposed to move this gigantic stone wall?¡± Li Yuan hesitated inwardly, ¡°Moreover, what will be the ultimate test that the Boundary Spirit spoke of?¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan had a premonition and involuntarily turned to look.


    In the space about ten meters high,


    a girl appeared as if out of nowhere, resembling a sprite. She had an exquisitely beautiful face, with long hair fluttering down, dressed in white gauze, barefooted, standing in mid-air, opening her spirited eyes to look at Li Yuan, seemingly observing him.


    So beautiful, that was Li Yuan¡¯s first thought.


    This was definitely the most beautiful girl Li Yuan had ever seen, like Alicia, Lin Lanyue, they all had outstanding temperaments and appearances¡­ but none could compare to the girl before him.


    Especially that transcendent and ethereal quality made one feel it was sacrilegious to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.


    The only thing that made Li Yuan a bit puzzled was the girl¡¯s figure, which looked somewhat illusory¡­ somewhat unreal.


    Fortunately,


    Li Yuan¡¯s willpower was strong enough, and within a second, he pressed down many thoughts and said respectfully, ¡°Junior Li Yuan, I have seen my senior.¡±


    The Boundary Spirit said that it could not control the Earth System Divine¡¯s Hall of Inheritance,


    which was enough to explain the uniqueness of this place.


    The appearance of such a woman was enough to make Li Yuan revere her.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan curiously, her voice melodious like music from heaven, ¡°Are you the inheritor referred to by Little Fire, one who has the hope of inheriting my father¡¯s mantle?¡±


    ¡°Little Fire? Father?¡± Li Yuan was astonished and somewhat confused.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Boundary Spirit from the Cave Heaven World that sent you here,¡± the white-clothed girl said with a smile, ¡°The Cave Heaven World is a treasure of the Fire System Divine, so I call the Boundary Spirit Little Fire.¡±


    The Boundary Spirit was Little Fire? Li Yuan was astonished. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly,


    Li Yuan had an epiphany and couldn¡¯t help but look at the white-clothed girl, ¡°Senior, are you the daughter of the Earth System Divine?¡±


    The daughter of a divine? Could this be true?


    ¡°Indeed, Ancient Torch Divine is my father,¡± the white-clothed girl said with a faint smile.


    Ancient Torch Divine?


    Was that the true name of the Earth System Divine?


    The white-clothed girl continued, ¡°But my father belongs to the mountain giant lineage, while I am not human.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not human?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Right, I am not human,¡± the white-clothed girl nodded as if it were perfectly natural, ¡°You don¡¯t need to dwell on these details. Before my father¡¯s passing, he entrusted me with overseeing the Hall of Inheritance. If you want to become my father¡¯s disciple, then you will have to pass the initial trial he has left.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Even though he was still unclear whether the white-clothed girl was human or not, at least he understood that his fate was in her hands.


    ¡°I have seen your first two trials,¡± the white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Not yet twenty years old, and not one who relies on powerful bloodlines for growth¡­ To have achieved Fifth Stage Skill, a Flying Heaven Level soul, you are indeed very outstanding.¡±


    ¡°And according to Little Fire, it seems you have awoken several Star Meridians, among which there is a Nine Layers Star Vein?¡± The white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted; how did she know all this?


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind it, this world is controlled by Little Fire, there¡¯s almost nothing that can be hidden from it,¡± the white-clothed girl said with a smile, ¡°There must be some secrets within you, but then, which extraordinary genius doesn¡¯t have fate on their side¡­ We can¡¯t cultivate, so we are not interested in your secrets.¡±


    Little Fire¡¯s controlled world? Li Yuan thought to himself.

 Chapter 366 - 250: Map of Myriad Stars_2

    Chapter 366: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars_2


    However,


    it seemed that the girl in white did not know about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°This Star Realm is only connected to a few dimensional planes, and it has been hiding and not truly emerged until recently, a little more than a hundred years¡­ To have a genius like you come here, is indeed very rare,¡± said the girl in white.


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind stirred.


    Taking refuge? Refuge from what? Was it from the pursuit of other divines?


    But this was the Second Level Star Realm; even if as powerful as a divine, they shouldn¡¯t be able to enter.


    ...


    ¡°Logically, with the talent you¡¯ve shown, if my father were still alive, he would probably have been willing to take you on as a direct disciple,¡± the girl in white looked at Li Yuan, ¡°But now that my father has long passed away, we must follow the many rules he left before his death.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, you can only become my father¡¯s disciple by passing the trial,¡± the girl in white said earnestly.


    Li Yuan pondered. Both the Boundary Spirit and the girl in white before him seemed a bit rigid.


    A bit like an artificial intelligence, strictly following whatever commands their master had left.


    Incapable of flexibility.


    ¡°May I ask, senior, what is the trial?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°No need to call me senior,¡± said the girl in white, shaking her head, ¡°My name is Gu You; you can simply call me by my name.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Senior Gu You,¡± Li Yuan replied seriously.


    The girl in white was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, ¡°Senior it is, then. Well, the trial is right there.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a sweep of her hand, three blobs of golden metallic liquid suddenly emerged from the empty ground, rising and swirling until finally, they congealed into three figures clad in golden armor.


    The three of them, each with an extraordinary aura, stood there with weapons in hand, and suddenly they all opened their eyes, which were full of life and radiated with the light of wisdom.


    ¡°War God Gu You.¡±


    ¡°War God!¡± The three Golden Armored Warriors reveled fervently and saluted respectfully.


    ¡°War God?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback, looking at the girl who seemed as harmless as a sprite.


    ¡°I¡¯m not the War God; it sounds bad,¡± the girl¡¯s head bobbed back and forth like a rattle.


    Li Yuan was at a loss. He felt that the girl in white¡­ really was like a young girl.


    ¡°All right.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, your trial is very simple,¡± the girl in white looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Everyone who comes here faces different levels of difficulty for their trial. I have observed your age, skill level, spiritual power, and Star Meridian talent, and will make a comprehensive judgment on the difficulty of the trial you must face¡­ The final layer of the trial is actually a test of your comprehension.¡±


    ¡°Comprehension?¡± Li Yuan mulled over this.


    ¡°You have three months,¡± the girl in white said, ¡°If you can defeat the third Golden Armored Warrior within three months, you can become a Disciple in Name.¡±


    ¡°If you can defeat the second Golden Armored Warrior, you can become an Inner Sect Disciple.¡±


    ¡°If you can defeat the first Golden Armored Warrior, you can become a Direct Disciple,¡± declared Gu You.


    ¡°Three months? Defeat three Golden Armored Warriors?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but turn to look at the three Golden Armored Warriors.


    They also smiled back at Li Yuan: ¡°I am number three.¡±


    ¡°I am number two.¡±


    The last Golden Armored Warrior shrugged his shoulders; naturally, he was the most powerful, number one.


    ¡­


    ¡°This stone wall, you observed it for quite a while earlier. With your realm, you should be able to see its mystery,¡± Gu You pointed at the huge wall in the distance and said, ¡°It¡¯s called the Map of Myriad Stars.¡± S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Map of Myriad Stars? Li Yuan looked up; the name fit perfectly.


    ¡°This is a treasure for aiding in enlightenment that my father obtained unintentionally. It¡¯s not very useful to divines, but for those below a demigod¡­ it has great benefits, allowing mortals to more quickly touch upon the mysteries of laws,¡± said Gu You.


    Li Yuan nodded, as he had already sensed the marvel of the Map of Myriad Stars.


    ¡°Within three months,¡±


    ¡°You may observe the Map of Myriad Stars for cultivation and to enhance your strength. Whether you can defeat any of the Golden Armored Warriors depends on you,¡± Gu You stated, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°I shall leave now.¡±


    ¡°Oh, and if you feel you can¡¯t pass the trial and want to give up early, you can just call out my name,¡± the girl said with a giggle, ¡°I¡¯ll send you on your way.¡±


    Hum~


    Without a sound, she vanished from the hall.


    ¡­


    The Hall of Inheritance suddenly quieted down, leaving only Li Yuan and the three Golden Armored Warriors staring blankly at each other.


    Compared to the girl in white, the three Golden Armored Warriors were even more dim-witted, not even taking the initiative to speak.


    ¡°Within three months, I¡¯ll defeat the three Golden Armored Warriors? And become a Direct Disciple?¡± Li Yuan looked at the three stout Golden Armored Warriors and mused, ¡°It looks tough to get through.¡±


    ¡°But, I¡¯ve got to give it a try.¡±


    He had already shown his full strength in the first layer of the trial, so Gu You must be aware of it.


    But the fact that she left these three here suggests that she had a certain confidence in him.


    Thinking this,


    Li Yuan stepped forward, ¡°Number three, number two, number one, I¡¯d like to test your strength.¡±


    The three Golden Armored Warriors looked at each other and smiled.


    ¡°We¡¯re just liquid metal automatons left by our master; we don¡¯t deserve the title ¡®senior¡¯. Just call us by our numbers,¡± the third Golden Armored Warrior said with a wide grin, ¡°Let me be the first to test your prowess. Defeat me, and you can challenge number two.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Quickly, Li Yuan and the third Golden Armored Warrior took their positions, standing on opposite sides of the great hall, a hundred meters apart, watching each other.


    The first and second warriors stood to the side, watching with great interest.


    ¡°Big brother, do you think number three can win?¡± The second Golden Armored Warrior asked.


    ¡°This youngster managed to get this far, which means he has notable strength. If Gu You set him a trial, she surely believes he has a chance to pass,¡± said the first Golden Armored Warrior, ¡°Let¡¯s just watch.¡±


    The second Golden Armored Warrior nodded.


    At that moment,


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and number three both transformed into afterimages, instantly launching themselves at each other.

 Chapter 367 - 250: Map of Myriad Stars_3

    Chapter 367: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars_3


    Hum~ S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan¡¯s body was instantly covered with an Origin Power Battle Suit, faintly glowing with an earthy yellow light, his aura astonishing.


    But No.3, he appeared more like a War God.


    ¡°Ha!¡± No.3 bellowed angrily, suddenly swinging his Battle Axe.


    Devoid of Origin Power, it was a sheer explosion of strength.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The axe swept across like lightning, the air violently shaking, as if space itself was cleaved in two.


    ...


    The speed was terrifying, the might shocking.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Li Yuan also swung his Black Chen Spear, the long spear imbued with Origin Power suddenly bursting forth, the spear horizontally raised, attempting to block the furious chop of the axe.


    Boom!


    The terrifying collision, both sides¡¯ forces of hundreds of thousands of kilograms bursting forth at the same time, a visible shockwave sweeping in all directions¡­ dreadful power impacting both fighters, sending them flying backwards.


    Li Yuan was flung more than ten meters away, while No.3 flew only a few meters, clearly superior in strength.


    ¡°What terrifying power.¡±


    ¡°His strength outbursts far exceed mine, at least a level 27.¡± Li Yuan immediately judged, ¡°However, his Axe Technique is quite rough, apparently not yet reaching the level of Unity of Heaven and Man.¡±


    In terms of strength, the Golden Armored Warrior had an absolute advantage.


    But in terms of skill, Li Yuan had the upper hand.


    ¡°Young lad, your strength is just so-so.¡± No.3 laughed heartily, charging like lightning, followed by another fierce chop with his axe.


    Swish!


    Yet Li Yuan moved in an instant, his movements incredibly agile, instantly dodging that terrifying chop.


    His speed was not fast, yet he always managed to avoid.


    ¡°Such strong movement technique?¡± No.3¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he didn¡¯t hesitate, the axe flipping swiftly, howling as he brought it down towards Li Yuan once more.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!


    One could only see arcs of axe light sweeping across the Vast Sky, their might terrifying¡­ but Li Yuan, apart from occasionally thrusting his spear to block an axe strike, would not forcefully withstand hits. Upon contact, he would move away, most of the time easily shifting his steps to dodge the attacks.


    It was as if he were toying with his opponent, leaving No.3 bellowing in rage, yet utterly helpless.


    After dodging several dozens of times in succession.


    ¡°Kill!¡± when No.3 once again bellowed and struck with his axe.


    ¡°Now is the time.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed, suddenly shifting his position, moving at a strange angle to the side of No.3, his Black Chen Spear exploding out with a potent thrust.


    Fast!


    Precise!


    After dozens of dodges to observe, he became familiar with all of No.3¡¯s combat habits¡­ then seized the opponent¡¯s weakest moment.


    ¡°Splash~¡±


    The spear thrust like a fierce dragon, twisted with astonishing power, and as No.3 looked on furiously and helplessly, the spear tip had already pierced his underarm and abdomen¡­ the dreadful force exploding instantly, completely penetrating No.3¡¯s body.


    For an ordinary Martial Artist, such a wound would no doubt be fatal.


    But No.3 remained as lively as ever, as if the wound on his body had no effect whatsoever.


    ¡°I lost!¡± No.3 said helplessly, ¡°Li Yuan, your spear is really fast.¡±


    As liquid metal golems, they were almost indestructible, their entire bodies essentially lacking any vital points.


    ¡°You¡¯re too gracious.¡± Li Yuan smiled faintly.


    There was a big gap in Physical Quality between them, but it wasn¡¯t outrageously so¡­ and with his superior skills, he naturally could capture the best opportunity for victory.


    ¡°Defeated No.3.¡±


    ¡°At least, I have the qualification to become a nominal disciple.¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    His baseline was secured.


    ¡­


    Before long, the battle between Li Yuan and No.2 Golden Armored Warrior erupted.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± No.2 used a pair of curved swords.


    His strength and speed were on par with No.3, around level 27.


    But his Sword Technique was far superior, his movements flickering, one cut followed by another, causing Li Yuan to retreat step by step.


    Too fast!


    The sword light reached a peak of speed.


    Splash~ A slash of sword light suddenly crossed over, furiously chopping at Li Yuan¡¯s chest. Even as Li Yuan flew back with the flow, the sharp sword light still faintly opened up the Origin Power Battle Suit, the terrifying force shaking his entire body, his blood and Qi nearly boiling.


    A trickle of blood sprayed out.


    Li Yuan was injured.


    ¡°Give up.¡± No.2 smiled, ¡°Kid, I suggest you practice more, try to defeat No.1 within three months and¡­¡±


    Suddenly No.2¡¯s expression changed.


    Because Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique suddenly transformed, from the previous wide open and swift motions to a rolling and vast surge, it was like a huge vortex, seemingly sucking in No.2.


    Easily blocking all of No.2¡¯s moves.


    ¡°Impressive, such quick Sword Technique, I thought I could last until No.1 before using my True Intent move.¡± Li Yuan silently thought.


    With the conventional Stellar Spear Technique, although the moves were slightly more profound than No.2¡¯s,


    The difference in strength was too great.


    He must use the True Intent move!!


    ¡°Splash~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s long spear moved like a star streaking across the sky, once it rolled out massively, the force became unimaginably great, whether sweeping or thrusting ferociously¡­ pressing layer by layer towards No.2.


    Li Yuan gave it his all.


    And so, after hundreds of strikes.


    Li Yuan showed no signs of waning, whereas No.2 finally couldn¡¯t hold on, his swords slowing dramatically.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Spear Technique flowed continuously, each move unceasing, and finally Li Yuan¡¯s sudden thrust crossed No.2¡¯s throat, also slicing through his golden skin, shedding plenty of fluid.


    The outcome was decided.


    ¡°I lost?¡± No.2, his throat rapidly healing, spoke somewhat helplessly, ¡°Big brother, this little guy, it seems only you can take care of him.¡±


    ¡°Haha, my turn.¡± The No.1 Golden Armored Warrior who had been sitting on the side as a spectator finally revealed a smile.

 Chapter 368 - 250: Map of Myriad Stars_4

    Chapter 368: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars_4


    ¡°Another victory.¡±


    ¡°Now an Inner Sect disciple, a divine disciple of the Inner Sect,¡± Li Yuan felt quite anticipative, unable to help but glance toward the number one warrior standing at the edge of the great hall.


    As long as he defeated the opponent, he could become a Direct Disciple.


    ¡­


    Two minutes later, Li Yuan¡¯s exchange with the number one Golden Armored Warrior concluded.


    Li Yuan¡ªdefeated miserably!


    ...


    The speed and strength of the number one warrior weren¡¯t much different from those of the second and third warriors, what truly made him formidable was his skill, his Sword Technique.


    Even though Li Yuan was mentally prepared, and both sides went all out from the moment they crossed spears¡­ the number one Golden Armored Warrior was just too formidable, his skill level far exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    Fifth Stage High Rank! Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Not only was his strength and speed a great deal stronger than Li Yuan¡¯s, but his skills were also so much more formidable.


    Even when Li Yuan deployed his True Intent Killing Move, it still didn¡¯t give him an advantage over the number one warrior; he remained at a disadvantage.


    Ultimately, after exchanging hundreds of moves,


    Li Yuan was still sent flying by a slash, crashing heavily against the Divine Pillar at the side of the temple, towering hundreds of meters.


    The material of the Divine Pillar was unknown, its surface incredibly smooth, and even a collision from Li Yuan left not the slightest mark.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost, do you still want to continue fighting?¡± the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile, ¡°If we keep fighting, I¡¯m afraid I might not control my strength and accidentally kill you.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m still lacking,¡± Li Yuan said with a resigned smile, ¡°When I have trained, I will definitely defeat you.¡±


    ¡°Haha, good!¡±


    ¡­


    After crossing spears with the three great Golden Armored Warriors and attaining the ¡®Inner Sect Disciple¡¯ status, Li Yuan returned to the Map of Myriad Stars.


    ¡°It seems, becoming a Direct Disciple directly and receiving the legacy is not possible for now.¡±


    ¡°Defeat the number one warrior?¡± Li Yuan recalled the battle scene just now.


    The gap in strength was too big.


    ¡°On the one hand, I must improve my Physical Quality, striving to close the gap between our physical qualities,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°On the other hand, I must also continue to hone my skills.¡±


    ¡°Three months?¡±


    ¡°Now that I¡¯m practicing with the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ and have this Map of Myriad Stars, let¡¯s see how far I can go.¡± Li Yuan was filled with anticipation.


    Ever since attaining the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡¯ he had not had the chance to practice it properly.


    ¡°Stellar True Intent.¡±


    Looking up toward the Map of Myriad Stars, Li Yuan¡¯s formidable spiritual power perceived the subtle and profound fluctuations emanating from it.


    Hum~


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Perfect Star Vein began to circulate within his body, and the first Rank 9 level of the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ also fully erupted, making his comprehension of the Map of Myriad Stars all the clearer.


    Time passed.


    ¡°All talk and no practice, just looking doesn¡¯t seem to bring deep comprehension,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    He stood up, and a Black Chen Spear appeared in his hand, beginning to execute the Spear Technique in line with the many thoughts in his mind.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    The Long Spear moved like a dragon, drawing mysterious forces from heaven and earth, vaguely interweaving countless resplendent lights at the tip of the spear.


    ¡°Not quite right.¡±


    ¡°It should be fiercer, my Spear Technique should be more ferocious,¡± Li Yuan followed his own intuition, practicing his Spear Technique wholeheartedly, tirelessly integrating his many insights into the technique.


    Everything was for the sake of increasing the power of his Spear Technique.


    ¡°The lad has started practicing the spear.¡±


    ¡°Wanting to defeat the elder brother isn¡¯t easy. Three months? Can he make it?¡± the third and second warrior watched from a distance, as Li Yuan practiced the spear alone.


    As metal puppets, they lacked the ability to learn; their physical strength could change, but their skills could not.


    ¡°Difficult!¡±


    ¡°Becoming a Direct Disciple is inherently arduous.¡± The third and second warrior both felt that Li Yuan had a very slim hope of becoming a Direct Disciple.


    Days passed by, one after another.


    Li Yuan kept training incessantly, and after just ten days,


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This kid, he can fight to this extent with the elder brother? His growth is too fast.¡± The third and second warrior were both somewhat astonished watching Li Yuan¡¯s exchange with the number one warrior inside the hall.


    ¡°Three months?¡±


    ¡°With such a rate of progress, maybe in just one month, he might have the hope of defeating the elder brother.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Fourteen days? Not a whisper of news?¡±


    Lude Nef slightly furrowed his brows, ¡°Why has the Blazing Flame Family been so adamant that ¡®Lin Lanyue¡¯ is still alive?¡±


    He glanced towards Yanjun Ling and Flame Cloud Fox, who were beside him.


    It was the Blazing Flame Family who insisted that Lin Lanyue was definitely still alive.


    ¡°Lude Nef,¡± Flame Cloud Fox said in a low voice, ¡°you should be aware that the bloodline of our Blazing Flame Family is not like that of ordinary people. It contains a trace of the ¡®Blazing Flame Bloodline¡¯; those who can awaken it have a great chance of attaining the Flying Heaven Level by cultivating the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯.¡±


    ...


    Lude Nef nodded slightly, with Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe also listening.


    Bloodline awakening could lead to a chance at Flying Heaven?


    In the Seven Star Civilization, there were not just one high Spiritual Nature clan boosting the entire civilization significantly. Bloodline, in essence, is about having several almost identical Star Meridians awakening within the body.


    A common Prime Warrior might struggle greatly to awaken four Star Meridians, but these Bloodline Awakeners could very easily awaken to possess Five-Star Meridians ¡­ becoming Flying Heaven Warriors is naturally effortless for them.


    ¡°As for Lin Lanyue, her bloodline is even more special. After many tests by the family, the Demigod of Flame City affirmed that she held great promise within the Relic Divine Palace,¡± said Flame Cloud Fox. ¡°For this purpose, the Demigod even took out a special Secret Treasure ¡®Bloodline Token¡¯ to ascertain her life or death.¡±


    ¡°Bloodline Tokens are rare in our family as well,¡± Flame Cloud Fox added.


    His explanation was not very clear, such as what was special about Lin Lanyue.


    But it did explain the situation.


    ¡°Before Li Yuan entered the Divine Palace ruins, did he not make any contingency plans?¡± Lude Nef frowned and looked at Wu Manong.


    ¡°Some plans were made,¡± Wu Manong said softly. ¡°He even specially fortified for two extra days¡­ But we could not restrict him; he is the actual strongest in the Worlds within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°If he wanted to venture into the Relic Divine Palace, could we have possibly stopped him?¡± Wu Manong asked.


    Lude Nef nodded slightly. A supreme genius himself, he naturally understood Li Yuan¡¯s mindset.


    With such an opportunity ahead, how could one not take the risk?


    ¡°Flame Cloud Fox, how long have members of your family stayed inside before emerging alive?¡± Lude Nef asked Flame Cloud Fox.


    ¡°Those who awoke their bloodline, the longest was 22 days before they came out alive. Those without bloodline awakening, the longest was 7 days¡­ As for someone like Li Yuan, a non-Fire System warrior, the longest was 5 days,¡± Flame Cloud Fox said gravely.


    A hush fell over the room.


    They looked at each other in the meeting room, all picking up on Flame Cloud Fox¡¯s subtext ¨C Li Yuan was very likely dead inside the Relic Divine Palace.


    After all, it was a world left behind by a Fire System Divine.


    ¡°Gentlemen, don¡¯t overthink it,¡± Wu Manong spoke.


    ¡°It¡¯s only been 14 days, not 24 or 34,¡± Wu Manong continued softly. ¡°I have already reported to the upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance, and they have instructed us to continue waiting patiently¡­ Currently, our Seven Star Alliance has over ten thousand First Rank warriors in the Worlds within Worlds and over two hundred Prime Warriors, having thoroughly scoured and seized control over the situation.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is still unaware of our specific arrangements. They do not know that Li Yuan has fallen into the Relic Divine Palace¡­ so they should not dare to rashly send more people in,¡± Wu Manong said.


    ¡°We need not concern ourselves with Li Yuan¡¯s life or death for now,¡± Wu Manong stated somberly.


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Although they marveled at Li Yuan¡¯s peerless talent, if he really died within the Relic Divine Palace, they would merely regret it for a moment.


    Throughout the history of the Seven Star Civilization, many geniuses have perished while adventuring through the myriad Star Realms.


    ¡°What¡¯s crucial now is our position in the Star Realm,¡± Wu Manong said. ¡°According to intelligence, the passage occupied by the Gu Yue Divine Palace is right at their newly established ¡®Outpost Number Four¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The batch of Prime Warriors preparing to break through to become Flying Heaven Warriors have also reached the Outpost Number Four,¡± he continued.


    ¡°We,¡± Wu Manong paused slightly, then said slowly, ¡°are confirming if we should strike.¡±


    Light flickered in everyone¡¯s eyes.


    Indeed!


    Upon learning of the planned attack from Mintian Hou of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, along with several other Demigods, after deliberation, the high command of the Seven Star Civilization had issued an order ¨C to attack!


    Not to defend passively, but to strike actively.


    To make a proactive assault!!


    Just as other Foreign Civilizations would attempt to infiltrate the Seven Star Civilization¡­ The Seven Star Civilization would naturally strive to establish their own agents and spy networks within other civilizations.


    Even for a vast civilization like the Immortal Ruins Civilization, which faced no existential threats, internal strife was immensely intense¡­ There were far too many Demigods willing to sell intelligence about Mintian Hou.


    Most of these intelligence-selling Demigods would have many ¡®Alien Race friends¡¯. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was quite normal for friends to exchange intelligence resources.


    Now, the Seven Star Civilization had precise intelligence that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had dispatched eight Prime Warriors whose skills had achieved Fifth Stage Perfection and Sixth Stage, about to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    All had arrived at Outpost Number Four.


    ¡°Jian Shi, Dorothy, have both of you consolidated your realms completely?¡± Lude Nef suddenly asked, looking towards two figures standing at the end of the meeting room.


    ¡°We have consolidated them,¡± they replied.


    ¡°We are ready to join the battle at any time,¡± Jian Shi and Dorothy said in turn.


    The two of them were recently dispatched by the Seven Star Alliance and had volunteered to break through to become Flying Heaven Warriors in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°For the sacrifices you¡¯ve made,¡± Lude Nef sighed lightly.


    ¡°Haha, what¡¯s there to mind about permanently residing in the Fierce Feather Star Realm? It¡¯s no trouble,¡± Jian Shi laughed. ¡°I¡¯ve long been prepared for this.¡±


    ¡°In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, we¡¯ll be the bosses from now on. That¡¯s pretty good, living freely and unrestrainedly,¡± Dorothy also said with a smile. ¡°Besides, there¡¯s a breeding area here, and the whole Star Realm is vast¡­ Not boring to live out an entire lifetime here.¡±

    Both of them were very calm.


    Now, among the ten people in this meeting room, besides the original six, two Prime Warrior prodigies, Lude Nef and An Yongya, had arrived.


    As well as two newly promoted Flying Heaven Warriors, Jian Shi and Dorothy.


    In total, ten Flying Heaven level combat strengths.


    ¡°Good,¡±


    ¡°To avoid any unexpected complications, let¡¯s set off tonight. Over ten thousand kilometers, we can reach our destination within a day,¡±


    ...


    ¡°Given the speed of a Prime Warrior¡¯s breakthrough, it¡¯s unlikely to be completed in just a day or two, let alone to cultivate Star Techniques to a higher rank, our combat strength is at its lowest ebb,¡±


    ¡°And this base is just a forward outpost of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom; their technology weapons are pretty average,¡± Lude Nef said solemnly, ¡°An Yongya, Fierce Cloud Fox, the two of you stay behind, everyone else follows me.¡±


    ¡°Make all the preparations,¡± Lude Nef¡¯s gaze swept over them as he continued solemnly, ¡°In a word, the first battle is the decisive battle, a single fight will determine the fate.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± everyone responded solemnly; they all knew how crazy this plan was.


    Eight Flying Heaven level combat forces, of which five were Prime Warrior prodigies and three were Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Thousands of miles for a strike!!


    ¡°As long as we kill off their batch of reserve Flying Heaven Warriors, it will take Gu Yue Divine Kingdom a long time to muster up so many people again,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s eyes flickered with killing intent.


    Reserve Prime Warriors? Any civilization can present many, like this time fighting for the World within Worlds, both civilizations easily mobilized hundreds, and that was just a fraction of their forces.


    But reserve Flying Heaven Warriors? Their numbers are much fewer.


    As for Lude Nef, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, who are Prime Warriors at the Sixth Stage? They are even considered top prodigies, with each fall causing their respective powers great distress.


    It can be said.


    This surprise attack plan orchestrated by the Seven Star Civilization, sending six top prodigies at once, is very risky.


    But that is an indispensable step on the road for every weak civilization to rise¡­ whether it be the exalted Demigods or the lower Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors.


    Prodigies? When it comes to critical moments, they must also step forward to fight.


    That night.


    Eight powerful beings with Flying Heaven level strength had already left the war base quietly, heading for a region thousands of miles away that was occupied by Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Flying Heaven Warriors can fly through the skies and travel underground on their own.


    Prime Warriors, if they control the True Intent of heaven and earth, can also travel through the sky with the help of the power of heaven and earth.


    ¡­


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm is quite desolate, with not many precious resources.


    Therefore, although there have been invasions by several Foreign Civilizations, the only one that has amassed a significant force and established a reproductive area is the Seven Star human civilization, and this reproductive area is actually promoted by the ¡®Demigod of Flame City¡¯¡­ whereas countries like Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have only established a few outposts.


    After all, with no valuable resources to gain, why keep Flying Heaven level powerhouses stationed here permanently?


    Nineteen hours later, three proud suns hung above the earth, and their crimson light enveloped the land.


    The ¡®Outpost Number Four¡¯ of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    This outpost base, which is directly controlled by ¡®Mintian Hou¡¯, used to be unremarkable¡­ but recently, the whole base is under continuous expansion and construction, with more aircraft arriving.


    A busy scene of construction.


    Suddenly¡ª


    In the sky above the base, numerous twisted light rays returned to normal, and immediately afterward, seven formidable figures appeared, standing in the air with radiant light shining all over their bodies, as dazzling as Heavenly Divines.


    In an instant. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Beep~¡± At this moment, the war fortress, towering a hundred meters, suddenly sounded an alarm, with frantic blaring, and at the same time, everyone from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom inside the base received a warning¡ªFlying Heaven assault.


    ¡°It¡¯s Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Human-shaped! They are Flying Heaven Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization, seven of them, be careful.¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Almost instantly, Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s entire outpost base erupted, with numerous weapon ports emerging, and countless kinetic energy weapons began to automatically attack.


    They rained down towards the sky.


    ¡°Dada dada~¡± ¡°Da!!¡± Around the war base, similarly, hidden ¡®fortresses¡¯ emerged, attacking from all directions.


    The war erupted in an instant.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± In the high sky, Wu Manong, Tavares, Abbott, Jian Shi and other powerful beings exploded with energy, instantly drawing Origin Power, the power of heaven and earth, their speed far exceeding the speed of sound in a flash.


    They dove towards the ground below.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The earth roared, the ground cracked, and one after another, the peripheral weapons towers were uprooted and collapsed¡­ The explosion of Flying Heaven level combat strength was not something ordinary technology weapons could withstand.


    Most automatic weapons couldn¡¯t even aim properly.


    Even if some technological weapons could attack the Flying Heaven Warriors atop¡­ with the protection of strong Origin Power and the Origin Power Battle Suit, it was hard to inflict fatal damage on them.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Above the war fortress, the towering main weapon tower, tens of meters tall, was violently torn apart, countless pieces of steel fell, and smoke filled the air¡­ Terrifying figures were wreaking havoc at will.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Destroy all the weapon towers first!¡±


    ¡°Kill all the personnel that can be killed, all of them,¡± Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and Wu Manong were utterly ruthless, slaughtering wildly.


    It wasn¡¯t that they were bloodthirsty.


    But in the struggle between civilizations, life and death, no one could spare any efforts.


    Just like before, Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s surprise attack caused heavy casualties on the Seven Star Alliance¡¯s side.


    Now, under a surprise attack as well, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s side had virtually no power to resist, and the casualties were bound to reach an astonishing level.


    Suddenly¡ª

    Boom! Numerous figures burst forth from the earth, shooting up into the sky; they were ablaze with dazzling light, their momentum as unstoppable as a rainbow. Witnessing the scene at the war base, they were filled with rage: ¡°Seven Star Civilization, you¡¯re courting death!¡±


    ¡°How dare you?¡±


    ¡°A weak Fourth Level Civilization dares to provoke us? They must be exterminated!¡±


    ¡°Slaughter them all.¡± The five great Flying Heaven Level powerhouses from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were furious, most of them having just recently broken through.


    They immediately took action, attempting to stop Yu Jinghe and Wu Manong from their bloody slaughter.


    ...


    Silently.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± Suddenly, a brilliant blade light appeared from the darkness, splitting the heavens and earth in two in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon a Flying Heaven Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Eerie!


    Unpredictable!


    Irresistible!


    ¡°Not good.¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was shocked and angry, immediately swinging his weapon, a war hammer emanating dazzling light, trying to block this abrupt and eerie blade light.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The horrific collision of the two great warriors¡¯ weapons generated an astonishing shock wave that exploded in all directions, sending the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s Flying Heaven Warrior flying backward.

    His blood churned within him, and he couldn¡¯t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    ¡°I survived?¡± The thought had just flashed through his mind, accompanied by a sense of relief.


    ¡°Be careful!¡± A cry of alarm rang out.


    Splurt~


    Another stroke of blade light burst out unexpectedly from behind him, instantly sweeping over his head. The terrifying power contained within the blade light erupted, creating countless splinters of light, instantly tearing the body of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s Flying Heaven Warrior to pieces.


    Dead!


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°Dorudos.¡±


    ¡°Damn Seven Star people.¡± The other Flying Heaven Warriors¡¯ eyes turned bloodshot.


    Only then did they get a clear look.


    In the void, there was an illusionary, robust figure with messy hair; his eyes were cold. The man stood there, his hands gripping a giant combat saber, looking every bit the War God.


    Hum~


    Silently, the robust figure vanished in an instant, the air trembling faintly¡ªa stealth in the void.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Sixth Layer Star Technique ¡®Wind Shadow¡¯!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Lude Nef from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Run.¡± The remaining four Flying Heaven Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom turned pale, immediately realizing who the newcomer was.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan, residing in the deepest part of the World within Worlds, was unaware of the all-out war that had erupted within the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    He was still patiently practicing, on the sixteenth day since he had entered.


    Inside the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°Rumble!¡±


    Li Yuan, with the Black Chen Spear in hand, displayed fierce and powerful spear techniques, erupting like a volcano, extremely formidable, as he fought with the first Golden Armored Warrior.


    ¡°The Meaning of the Stellar, seamless and perfect, is capable of encompassing and withstanding everything at the right time.¡± The spear techniques Li Yuan used had lost much of their heaviness and continuity.


    Instead, it was wild!


    ¡°But the Stellar Spear also has an explosively aggressive side, to shatter all enemies before it.¡± Li Yuan was completely following his own heart to use the ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± as taught by the Bai Shan Semi-Divine, which wasn¡¯t entirely suitable for him.


    The comprehension of True Intent was right there.


    It was contained in the mysterious movements of heaven and earth, accessible to anyone¡¯s understanding and deductions¡­ But how far one can take the Mysteries of True Intent depends entirely on the individual.


    Some who are skilled with shields will comprehend Defense Techniques.


    Those adept in swordsmanship or with a long spear tend to have moves more inclined toward offense.


    Those who use both sword and shield, or spear shield, often find their techniques more balanced.


    Among the Seven Star Civilization, several Semi-Divine beings cultivate the Earth Vein, but only Bai Shan Semi-Divine was able to describe the Stellar True Intent fairly completely in the form of a Secret Manual.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine excelled in defense, so the Secret Manual he compiled naturally showed this inclination.


    ¡°Stellar.¡±


    ¡°Its attacks, though not as scorching as blazing fire, that massive and expansive nature, once rolling forth in all its majesty, is also most terrifying.¡± Li Yuan was inspired by the first warrior.


    Over this half month, he contemplated the Map of Myriad Stars again.


    Staying in this Hall of Inheritance, he had no distractions¡­ For Li Yuan, this was the best environment he had ever had to practice his spear techniques.


    The most pure training environment.


    The more he practiced, the more exhilarated Li Yuan felt, driven purely by the pursuit of the limits of spear technique, aiming for an even more carefree heart.


    ¡°This Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique is getting more and more ferocious and fierce.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s progressing so fast.¡± The first Golden Armored Warrior was increasingly astonished as they sparred today: ¡°At this rate, could it be that even this body of mine is barely able to restrain him now?¡±


    This golden armor was not his true body, but merely a projection of his consciousness.


    In the past, he had encountered many Martial Path geniuses.


    Even the disciples of the divine had crossed his path¡­ But the first warrior had to admit, such a terrifying rate of skill advancement was something he had never heard of before.


    Suddenly.


    In another collision during their exchange, Li Yuan¡¯s long spear thrust forward abruptly, activating the power of heaven and earth to form hundreds of illusory spear shadows, like a star exploding, an overwhelmingly terrifying power that enveloped the first Golden Armored Warrior.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°To invoke the power of heaven and earth to such an extent?¡± The first Golden Armored Warrior¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Has he broken through?¡±


    From the Fifth Stage Initial Rank, one¡¯s moves gradually carry the power of heaven and earth, becoming more and more forceful.


    But to directly use the power of heaven and earth to form spear shadows and such phenomena? That is an extremely high realm.


    Therefore, with the eyesight of the first Golden Armored Warrior, he instantly deduced¡ªLi Yuan had made a breakthrough.


    After half a month of practicing in the Hall of Inheritance, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique had finally undergone a qualitative change from quantitative change.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The techniques of the first warrior also changed instantly, from fierce to flowing and expansive, even causing faint sounds of trickling water to appear in the void.

 Chapter 373 - 252: Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)_4

    Chapter 373: Chapter 252: Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)_4


    His sword technique, likewise, invoked an astonishing strength of heaven and earth and had truly reached the state of ¡®technique approaching the Way, summoning heaven and earth, displaying worldly phenomena¡¯.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang clang clang clang!¡± Sword light and spear shadows collided time and again, and despite the long spear¡¯s fierce ferocity, it was completely countered by the flowing water-like sword light.


    However, the number one warrior did not pursue defeating Li Yuan, purely on the defensive.


    ¡°He¡¯s actually forced big brother to break limits.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s passed the test.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Just half a month, eh.¡± Both the third and second Golden Armored Warriors were quite astonished and sighed.


    Their true bodies were extremely terrifying in strength, and their skill realms were also very high¡­ The bodies they had split off were only a minimal part of their true selves, with limited contained power.


    As gatekeepers, the level of skills they could display was similarly restricted.


    Forcing the number one Golden Armored Warrior to use power and sword technique beyond his limits¡­ had already signified that Li Yuan met the requirements for becoming a ¡®direct disciple¡¯ of the Earth System Divine.


    ¡°Li Yuan must have had an enlightenment.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Big brother probably wants to let him not waste the effect of the sudden enlightenment, sparring with him in training.¡± The two Golden Armored Warriors discerned their elder brother¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡­


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°This is the feeling, truly comfortable.¡±


    ¡°This is the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ that truly suits me, crushing all, endlessly violent. In the past, my spear technique lacked this kind of directness, this utter strength that crushes everything.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was extremely pleased.


    With a sudden enlightenment, countless insights surged into his mind, making his spear technique faster and more terrifying by the moment.


    Everything progressed according to his will.


    And in the place unbeknownst to Li Yuan, hints flickered across the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡°[Your Spear Technique skill has advanced from 59% at the Fifth Stage to 60% at the Fifth Stage]¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°[Your Spear Technique skill has advanced from 63% at the Fifth Stage to 64% at the Fifth Stage]¡±


    ¡°[Your Spear Techni¡­]¡±


    ¡­


    The battle between Li Yuan and the number one Golden Armored Warrior.


    After over two hours of fighting, Li Yuan had almost fully integrated his past understanding of the nature¡¯s mystery into his spear technique.


    More than two hours later, Li Yuan finally came back to his senses and stopped.


    ¡°Haha, elder number one, thank you.¡± Li Yuan felt freely elated, smiling at the number one Golden Armored Warrior.


    The moment he fully regained his senses, he understood that without the patient sparring of the number one Golden Armored Warrior, his progress from the enlightenment would not have been so significant.


    Nor would it have been possible to create the second True Intent Killing Move.


    Subconsciously,


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: Level 26 (Second Rank)]

    ¡­


    ¡°A sudden enlightenment breakthrough has brought my Spear Technique to 72% at the Fifth Stage.¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly.


    Among those of the Fifth Stage High Rank, that was not considered weak.


    In half a month, he had progressed from 40% to 72% at the Fifth Stage, a speed that was simply unimaginable¡­ If some of the geniuses from the top ten of virtual battles were here, it would probably take them several years to reach such a level.


    Of course, Li Yuan also understood that the training conditions he had during this time were incomparable to others.


    Today¡¯s enlightenment was even something many people may never encounter.


    ¡°Mastering the second True Intent Killing Move,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°Even if I were to encounter some Top Grade Origin Martial Artists with 85% Fifth Stage Technique, based solely on skill, I might not be weaker than them.¡±


    The level of skill represents the level of one¡¯s understanding of nature.


    True Intent Killing Moves, on the other hand, are about techniques that cannot be quantified.


    ¡°It was your own enlightenment, I only did what I had to do,¡± the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile from not far away.


    His smile was radiant.


    Immediately, the number one Golden Armored Warrior looked towards numbers two and three.


    The two Golden Armored Warriors understood their big brother¡¯s intention.


    The next second,


    All three Golden Armored Warriors simultaneously bowed in respect: ¡°Congratulations, young master, we celebrate young master for passing on the legacy test and becoming a Divine Disciple.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve passed the test?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    He had not realized that the number one Golden Armored Warrior had just ¡®broken limits¡¯.


    ¡°Young master, I have already notified Gu You, the War God,¡± the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile: ¡°Hoping that the young master will soon achieve Demigod status and lead us to emerge in the world once again.¡±


    Whoosh¡ª The three Golden Armored Warriors had already turned into countless streams of golden liquid, merging into the ground.


    Silently,


    The seemingly real and illusory young girl in white, barefooted, had already appeared in mid-air, curiously looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°It seems, I underestimated you, giving you three months, yet in just half a month your Spear Technique has undergone such transformation.¡± The girl showed her small fangs and had a trace of a smile: ¡°Your comprehension is much higher than I imagined.¡±


    ¡°Really nice.¡±


    ¡°Gu You, senior,¡± Li Yuan remained respectful.


    ¡°What senior? Call me sister,¡± the girl frowned.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°What, you don¡¯t wish to take me as your master?¡± The girl fixed her large eyes on Li Yuan.


    ¡°Of course, I am willing.¡±


    ¡°Then that settles it, call me sister!¡±

    Chapter 374: Chapter 253: Divine Legacy (Additional Release 42, Monthly Ticket Please!!)


    ¡°Sister!¡± Li Yuan was always aware of what was appropriate.


    ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± The girl¡¯s smile became even more radiant. ¡°Say it a few more times.¡±


    ¡°Sister! Sister!¡± Li Yuan said without hesitation, for once people break their limits, they continue to break them.


    Until they have none left.


    ¡°Good.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits, and she found Li Yuan growing more pleasing to the eye.


    All of a sudden,


    ...


    The girl sighed, ¡°Since the death of father¡¯s disciples, it has been nearly ten thousand years since I heard the title ¡®sister¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Ten thousand years?¡± Li Yuan held his breath. That was an exceptionally long time.


    Discounting some of the unverifiable historical legends, the entire history of the Seven Star Civilization is only about five thousand years.


    ¡°Come, let¡¯s complete the apprenticeship ceremony first.¡± The girl revealed her small canine teeth and looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Father¡¯s direct disciple¡­ Hehe! Father finally has a disciple again.¡±


    She then walked toward the enormous and majestic throne at the end of the temple.


    Li Yuan immediately followed.


    During the more than ten days prior, when he sparred with the three Golden Armored Warriors, he was not allowed to approach the area near the throne.


    This time, as he followed Gu You to the base of the throne.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    Whoosh~ The once silent majestic throne suddenly burst into a brilliant golden light that filled the entire Hall of Inheritance as if it was enveloped in endless golden radiance.


    Right after that, the girl pointed from afar.


    Without sound or sign, countless golden lights converged, forming an enormous phantom atop the majestic throne.


    It was a humanoid creature, sitting at a height of dozens of meters, clothed in earthy yellow Combat Armor, its skin almost stone-like without a single hair, and at first glance, resembled a rock giant. It too had arms and legs¡­ and it exuded an aura of utmost supremacy.


    This powerful presence made Li Yuan catch his breath.


    It was too strong, undoubtedly the most powerful being Li Yuan had ever seen¡­ Even though it was just a phantom left by Divine Sense, the oppression it radiated was probably even beyond the Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    This was a Divine Being.


    ¡°My daughter.¡± The colossal phantom as if coming to life, its gaze fell upon the girl in white, eyes filled with tenderness.


    ¡°Father.¡± The girl who was just giggling, looked at the figure with tears barely visible in her eyes. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It had been too long.


    She almost couldn¡¯t remember how long it had been since she last saw her father¡¯s figure.


    ¡°Father, your daughter has fulfilled her duty and chosen the first direct disciple.¡± The girl pointed at Li Yuan beside her, her voice more serious than ever. ¡°Li Yuan, step forward to pay your respects as my disciple.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Li Yuan was unable to tell if the colossal phantom was a remnant left by the Divine Being or if it truly contained a part of the Divine Being¡¯s consciousness¡­ The methods of Divine Beings are unfathomable.


    He respectfully knelt on the ground and bowed deeply. ¡°Disciple Li Yuan, greets Master.¡±


    Although the other had passed away,


    Since he had chosen to accept the inheritance, he naturally had to engrave the grace of being taught in his heart, bowing to his master, Li Yuan also did so with genuine acceptance.


    Thump~ Thump~ Thump~ Li Yuan bowed respectfully three times.


    As he bowed for the third time,


    ¡°A disciple of Ancient Torch?¡± The giant figure upon the golden throne smiled, looking down at Li Yuan as if it could truly see him. ¡°My student, I¡¯ve been gone for who knows how long, and I don¡¯t expect you to do anything specific, I have no particular demands.¡±


    ¡°Just one thing, take good care of your sister.¡±


    Immediately after, the giant figure pointed toward Li Yuan, and a stream of golden light flew from his fingertip, directly descending upon Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    Boom!


    His soul thundered, and even with Li Yuan¡¯s strong spiritual power, he felt dazed at this moment. The golden light that rushed toward him contained an ocean of information, quickly transmitting into his soul.


    It swiftly integrated into his memory, intermingling with countless other memories.


    The Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± for the first six ranks¡­ The Ninefold Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± for the first six ranks¡­ The Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡±¡­ The Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡±¡­ The Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Ninefold Astral Void¡±¡­ One after another, powerful and complete Star Techniques.


    Were directly transmitted to Li Yuan.


    Each of these Star Techniques were paths leading to the Divine Level, incredibly precious. Many a Star Technique could drive countless Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods mad¡­ This was the Divine Being Inheritance.


    If the Divine Being were alive, he might not trust to pass on so many powerful Star Techniques to his disciples.


    But since he had died, then naturally, all such Star Techniques and treasures would be left to his Successor.


    Every powerful Star Technique, especially those from the later stages, were exceedingly fearsome, and the information pertaining to their cultivation was vast and complex, particularly with respect to the Semi Divine Level and Divine Level¡­ The knowledge was vast and profound.


    Luckily, Li Yuan was already at the Flying Heaven Level of spiritual power.


    If he were merely a Prime Warrior, he would not be able to directly bear so much inheritance information. Even so, it would take Li Yuan at least an entire day to fully absorb all the information.


    Li Yuan closed his eyes, silently receiving it.


    At this moment, he couldn¡¯t afford to be distracted by anything else.


    On the side.


    ¡°The Light of Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Father¡¯s life¡¯s work¡­ before his passing, he left only three such remnants.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes still showed a trace of tears, her feelings complicated, with a hint of resolve. ¡°Father, I will surely train Li Yuan well.¡±


    ¡°If he doesn¡¯t suffice, I¡¯ll screen for a second, and then a third direct disciple.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, when Li Yuan has become a Divine Being¡­ I will surely make him reclaim everything.¡± The girl pledged silently in her heart. ¡°With that token, there¡¯s great hope.¡±


    She was referred to as the War God by the Golden Armored Warriors, an indeed terrifying presence.


    And in her heart, the Ancient Torch Divine was the true heaven.

 Chapter 375 - 253: Divine Legacy (Additional Release 42, Monthly Ticket Please!!)_2

    Chapter 375: Chapter 253: Divine Legacy (Additional Release 42, Monthly Ticket Please!!)_2


    She was the custodian of her spiritual refuge.


    The death of the Ancient Torch Divine was for her no different than the sky collapsing.


    That war was incredibly brutal.


    Ultimately, as the Ancient Torch Divine lay dying, he entrusted the Hall of Inheritance, which he had prepared in advance, to the Fire System Divine trusted most under his command, desperately sending him away.


    In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years passed, the girl knew nothing of the outside world, unaware of the final outcome of that great battle of gods¡­ She simply followed her father¡¯s last wishes, hiding in this part of the Star Realm.


    Until a hundred years ago.


    ...


    Only when she felt that the Star Realm had completely stabilized, and that Divines could no longer descend, did she dare to truly emerge and begin choosing a successor, until today.


    ¡°Just Second Rank, huh.¡± The girl looked at Li Yuan.


    Still weak, but with unlimited potential.


    She patiently waited beside Li Yuan until his memory fully fused with the light of inheritance.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan received the inheritance, the Fierce Feather Star Realm was in constant battle, war raging everywhere.


    The Seven Star Civilization and the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom fought fiercely.


    About two thousand miles from the fourth outpost base of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Atop a vast mountain range.


    A towering figure over ten meters tall, with a body shining like gold as if a giant, wielding two massive shields.


    He stood in the void, his presence overwhelming, his gigantic eyes scanning the four corners of the void, faintly burning with flames.


    Suddenly¡ª


    Boom!


    A strange knife light appeared silently behind him, unpredictable and mysterious, with strands of greenish air currents flowing within the blade light, stealthily assaulting the towering golden figure.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    As if the golden giant had eyes on his back, he swiftly turned around. Instead of trying to block the knife light, he swung the two enormous shields in his hands like giant palms, violently clapping them together at the figure behind the blade light.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± The knife light swept across the chest of the golden giant, its shocking penetrative power instantly slicing through the Origin Power Battle Suit, then leaving behind a startling torn wound on the golden giant¡¯s chest.


    Yet, that wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    ¡°Pong~¡± The two massive shields also fiercely hit the disheveled-haired figure.


    At first glance, it seemed like swatting a mosquito, attempting to crush Lude Nef outright.


    Boom! Lude Nef took the ferocious hit head-on, then with all his strength erupting, he broke free from the restraints of the two shields and burst backward fiercely.


    ¡°Pretty tough, huh.¡± The golden figure spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Lude Nef, you are indeed very strong, I can¡¯t do anything to you, but I have cultivated the ¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, earning the title of an ¡®Undying Body¡¯¡­ You can¡¯t kill me.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Lude Nef¡¯s gaze was icy, staring fixedly at the golden figure.


    In terms of skill level, he was much better than his opponent.


    But Martial Artists can often only cultivate two Star Techniques, even those top-tier geniuses.


    Thus, top-tier geniuses were also destined to have their own strengths.


    Like Lude Nef, what he cultivated were the ¡°Wind Shadow,¡± a Sixth Layer Star Technique, and the ¡°Blood Eroding Wind Blade,¡± a Fifth Layer Star Technique; when combined, alongside the ¡®True Meaning of Shadowlessness¡¯ he had comprehended from the Wind Vein.


    It made him an extremely terrifying assassin in both Stealth and attack, causing countless opponents to dread him.


    Many Flying Heaven level of the Alien Race had been one-shot killed by him.


    The Flying Heaven level assassin ¡®Dark Shadow¡¯ from the Tianliang Clan, who was targeted by Fang Hai¡¯s schemes¡ªif faced head-on, might not even be a match for Lude Nef.


    However.


    Even a master like Lude Nef had his nemesis, and the golden giant before him was just that¡­ Ao Jia!


    He, too, was a Sixth Stage skill master and a Prime Warrior prodigy with immense fame within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Ao Jia cultivated the Seven Stars Technique ¡°Myriad Gold Divine Body,¡± a famous technique of Dongfang Ji that effectively combined body protection, defense, and explosive power and speed in one formidable Star Technique.


    Now, the two sides clashed.


    No matter how desperately Lude Nef kept attacking, he could not inflict a fatal wound.


    Ao Jia¡¯s ability to protect himself was considered inconceivable among the Second Rank.


    ¡°Lude Nef, let¡¯s end the battle here,¡± Ao Jia¡¯s voice boomed, ¡°Although you¡¯ve lost two men, you¡¯ve also slaughtered many¡­ you¡¯ve already taken great advantage.¡± S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The demigods of our Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have already said they wish to settle the dispute and share control of the World within Worlds equally, how about it?¡± Ao Jia tempted.


    ¡°Dream on!¡± Lude Nef¡¯s voice was filled with rage, ¡°If we were all Flying Heaven Warriors, you would definitely die by my blade.¡±


    ¡°Pity we are but Prime Warriors,¡± Ao Jia laughed, ¡°Or do you plan to break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the Fierce Feather Star Realm?¡±


    Lude Nef¡¯s gaze was ice-cold.


    In the entire Fierce Feather Star Realm, except for the great opportunity offered by the World within Worlds, there were hardly any other treasures, and Prime Warriors couldn¡¯t enter the World within Worlds¡­ such top-level geniuses naturally wouldn¡¯t break through in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    That would be self-destructive to their future prospects.


    Two days ago, Lude Nef and the other eight Flying Heaven-level forces ambushed and dealt a devastating blow to the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡­ but the forces of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom counterattacked swiftly.


    Up to this point, both sides had suffered considerable casualties.


    ¡°When it comes to treasures left by the divine, you can¡¯t defend them,¡± Ao Jia spoke gravely, ¡°Our passage is over ten thousand kilometers away from your breeding areas.¡±


    ¡°Yet it is only a few hundred kilometers from our main base¡­ You may have won the surprise attack this time, but you can¡¯t hold it, you will have to retreat sooner or later.¡±


    Lude Nef watched silently.


    Indeed, the distance was a severe disadvantage¡­ it was almost impossible for the Seven Star Civilization to occupy the second passage.


    After a long while.


    Lude Nef finally chose to retreat, and only then did the golden giant in the void breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Truly terrifying.¡±


    ¡°This Lude Nef, if we talk about strength, could almost be regarded as a Divine Child Level Genius within the Divine Kingdom,¡± Ao Jia muttered secretly.


    Prime Warriors recognized as Divine Child Level in the entire Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were only two or three.


    Ao Jia, whether in terms of strength or potential, was inferior to the other.


    ¡°And that Yu Jinghe, his strength is so much more formidable than the intelligence reports,¡± Ao Jia recalled the recent major battle.


    If it weren¡¯t for Yu Jinghe suddenly unleashing a power nearly equal to Lude Nef¡¯s direct combat strength.


    The Seven Star Civilization would have lost more than just two men.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back, rebuild the base first, and then prepare for the next attack,¡± Ao Jia¡¯s body rapidly shrank, turning into a streak of light shooting up into the sky.


    ¡­


    In the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°The mixed scum of the Seven Star Civilization actually dared to launch a surprise attack,¡± Mintian Hou roared furiously as he looked at the casualty report in his hands, nearly driven mad with anger.


    This time around, of the 10 prepared Flying Heaven Warriors they gathered, eight perished.


    Only two remained.


    If it weren¡¯t for him receiving the message and immediately contacting a large number of demigods from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to urgently dispatch a number of super-genius warriors into the Fierce Feather Star Realm to block Lude Nef, the situation could have become irrevocably dire.


    Even so, the power in the hands of their four demigods had temporarily lost the possibility of mounting a frontal assault.


    ¡°We must report to the clan,¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s gaze narrowed as his heart bled.

 Chapter 376 - 254: The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 376: Chapter 254: The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    ¡°`


    If there had been other choices, Mintian Hou would definitely not have reported to his clan. If he had led the operation himself, he could have kept the lion¡¯s share of the profits once successful.


    For what was at stake was a relic left by a Fire System Divine, imbued with the hope of attaining divinity.


    Once he reported to his clan? As the clan mobilized its powerful forces, his final gains would be pitiably small.


    You get as much as you give, an unchanged truth since ancient times.


    Most crucial of all, Mintian Hou¡¯s relationship with his clan was not good; otherwise, he would not have come to the distant Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to set roots and establish his own fief.


    ...


    In the Immortal Ruins Civilization, among numerous countries and sects, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was quite ordinary.


    In the entire Immortal Ruins Civilization, those truly at the summit were the few great Immortal Sect Divine Races.


    Mintian Hou was from one such powerful Divine Race.


    But now, Mintian Hou had no choice; the forces he could mobilize had been greatly diminished¡­ The remaining forces were not capable of contending with the Seven Star Civilization anymore.


    With that thought,


    Whoosh!


    Mintian Hou waved his hand, and a strange instrument the size of a table appeared in front of him. A wisp of Demigod Origin Power flew out and entered the instrument. Quickly, the instrument began to glow faintly.


    Whoosh~ The instrument emitted a vast amount of light that formed a huge projection screen above.


    The projection was pitch-black.


    As time ticked away, Mintian Hou waited patiently. After more than ten minutes,


    Buzz~ With a flicker in the projection, the figure of an elder appeared.


    His stature was tall as well, clothed in heavy armor. The most eye-catching feature was the dark red horn on top of his head, which was similar to Mintian Hou¡¯s.


    Based on appearance alone, they were of the same race.


    ¡°Mintian Hou, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± The elder with the horn spoke indifferently, his voice carrying a sense of estrangement.


    ¡°Great-Uncle.¡± Mintian Hou suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed slightly.


    ¡°You flatter me.¡± The elder responded coolly.


    ¡°Great-Uncle, I was wrong before.¡± Mintian Hou lowered his head, his voice gloomy, ¡°This time I¡¯m contacting the clan because there¡¯s a great opportunity for which I¡¯d like the clan¡¯s support.¡±


    ¡°Great opportunity?¡± The elder¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, ¡°Speak.¡±


    ¡°A force under my command, while exploring a part of the Star Realm, accidentally discovered a Fire System Divine relic, but it coincides with another Fourth Level Civilization ¨C the ¡®Seven Star Civilization¡¯¡­ My initial plan was to secure a preliminary occupation before reporting to the clan.¡± Mintian Hou whispered, ¡°But now the Seven Star Civilization is arrogant, I hope the clan can provide some resources.¡±


    The elder revealed a smile of unfathomable depth without showing any emotion.


    He had lived for hundreds of years. How could he not understand Mintian Hou¡¯s true intentions?


    Report to the clan after securing a preliminary occupation? Nonsense. If Mintian Hou could occupy it on his own strength, the clan would probably never receive the news.


    Mintian Hou was merely seeking assistance.


    But the horned elder wouldn¡¯t expose his thoughts. After all, there was such a great benefit at stake¡­ oh no, after all, they were kin.


    A Fire System Divine treasure!


    ¡°Chi Jisa.¡± The horned elder spoke warmly, ¡°When you were promoted to Demigod, I believe I was the one who presided over your initiation ceremony. More than a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye.¡±


    Chi Jisa was Mintian Hou¡¯s real name.


    ¡°Great-Uncle has always treated me well since I was young.¡± Mintian Hou seized the opportunity to agree.


    Since he was young? They had met for the first time when Mintian Hou reached the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always believed in your character, your previous issue must have been sabotaged by others.¡± The elder showed a gentle smile, ¡°I will order an investigation to clarify. Now that you have found a Fire System Divine relic but still wish to report to the clan, it shows that you care about the clan¡¯s interests; really commendable.¡±


    ¡°Great-Uncle overpraises.¡± Mintian Hou said earnestly.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Wait a moment, I will send you a ¡®Civilization Contract¡¯. After you sign it, send back all the intelligence you have gathered. The clan will provide the greatest support according to the situation.¡± The horned elder stated, ¡°Once successful, 10% of the treasures from the Divine relics will belong to you.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if the forces at your disposal can still play a significant role, your share can appropriately be increased. How about that?¡± the horned elder said.


    ¡°I have no objections. Contributing to the clan is my duty.¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s face was filled with smiles, yet his heart was bleeding.


    10%?


    Originally, he should have received more than 50%.


    Of course, Mintian Hou wasn¡¯t worried that the horned elder would even encroach on the 10%¡­ A Civilization Contract was set by the most supreme beings of the Immortal Ruins Civilization. Once publicly signed, it had to be followed.


    If it came to that,


    To the entire clan, a relic left by a Fire System Divine was precious, but not worth compromising the whole clan¡¯s reputation.


    Before an agreement between the two parties, the clan elders might squeeze him, but once the agreement was set¡­ they would definitely honor it.


    A person stands by their word,


    A clan is built on its rules.


    The Chi Divine Race had stood tall in the Immortal Ruins Civilization for tens of thousands of years, allowing members like Mintian Hou to trust the clan even after leaving it and to contact them in the first instance, confident the clan would not cheat him¡­ Of course, it had its own set of operational rules.


    Time passed.


    Mintian Hou quickly transmitted all the information he knew to the horned elder.


    ¡°Chi Jisa, you need to be patient for a while.¡± The horned elder spoke softly and then his figure disappeared.


    Mintian Hou stood still.


    He knew that the horned elder was going to contact other Demigods of the Divine Race, and he might even contact the supreme Divines.


    That¡¯s right, those who dare to call themselves a Divine Race, the Chi Divine Race indeed had Divines backing them.


    As for places like Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, they had produced Divines in their history, but Divines can die¡­ In this era, there are no longer any Divines in Gu Yue Divine Kingdom. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Time ticked by.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°Chi Jisa.¡± The horned elder¡¯s figure reappeared.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Great-Uncle,¡± Mintian Hou remained very respectful.


    ¡°Five days,¡± the unicorn elder spoke softly, ¡°it will take time to depart from the Divine Race territory to your Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡­ Plus the time for the clan to mobilize the elites, they will arrive within five days.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Mintian Hou hastily nodded.


    Five days? He could wait.


    ¡°Great-Uncle, who are you planning to send?¡± Mintian Hou couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ...


    ¡°Three Semi Divine Level geniuses, all from the Fire System lineage, will enter the Divine Palace ruins,¡± the unicorn elder whispered, ¡°They are all the Semi Divine Level geniuses of the First Rank in our clan.¡±


    ¡°All of them?¡± Mintian Hou was startled and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Are there no Divine Child Level geniuses?¡±


    ¡°Do you think Divine Child Level geniuses are cabbages?¡± The unicorn elder glanced at him, ¡°Being Divine Child Level geniuses, they naturally won¡¯t stay long at the First Rank¡­ It¡¯s incredibly rare to find one with the right Life Level. Currently, even our whole Immortal Ruins Civilization would have trouble finding a First Rank Divine Child Level genius, we¡¯d probably only find them in the three great Xian sects.¡±


    ¡°Besides, even if they have them, they might not necessarily be from the Fire System lineage. The probability of seizing the treasure might not even be higher,¡± the unicorn elder added.


    Mintian Hou fell silent, but upon reflection, it seemed normal, and it was he who had assumed too much.


    Divine Child Level geniuses, even within the Divine Race Xian sects, hold a very high status.


    ¡°I understand your worries, afraid they wouldn¡¯t be a match for that Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Just a Fourth Level Civilization genius,¡± the unicorn elder said, ¡°We will naturally make thorough preparations. By then, the strength of all three of them will far surpass Mo Hu.¡±


    ¡°You need to understand, there is a great difference even among Semi Divine Level geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Mintian Hou nodded slightly.


    Just as the strength gap between Flying Heaven Martial Artists or Demigods can be quite significant.


    ¡°Furthermore, we¡¯ve also prepared 300 reserve Prime Warriors,¡± he continued.


    ¡°You gather another batch of First Rank Martial Artists, and we¡¯ll attack together when the time comes.¡±


    ¡°Of course, we must make dual preparations for seizing the treasure,¡± the unicorn elder spoke slowly, ¡°Our clan is also preparing several Prime Warrior geniuses. They will enter the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡­ to deal with the Prime Warrior geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization. ¡±


    ¡°However, their role is to protect the three Semi Divine Level geniuses, not to engage in life-and-death battles with the Prime Warrior geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the unicorn elder said, ¡°Our goal is the treasure, and if we end up fighting to the death within the Star Realm, we are not assured of defeating a powerful Fourth Level Civilization that has produced many Demigods¡­ It¡¯s not meaningful.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Mintian Hou said.


    He also felt that the unicorn elder¡¯s words were reasonable.


    Mintian Hou¡¯s forces had suffered heavy losses, which infuriated him, but he was not angry about the deaths of his subordinates; he was angry about the loss of his own hopes for acquiring the treasure.


    Mintian Hou had never felt it incumbent upon himself to avenge the deaths of his subordinates.


    For him, obtaining the Divine treasure was of paramount importance.


    The rest? Not important.


    Fighting for the territory of the desolate Fierce Feather Star Realm? He would have to be kicked in the head by a donkey to fight over the territory of a desolate star realm.


    Before long.


    The communication between Mintian Hou and the unicorn elder ceased.


    ¡°Three Semi Divine Level geniuses? Can it succeed?¡± Mintian Hou muttered to himself, ¡°That Li Yuan, is truly a monstrous talent.¡±


    After so much time, he had also found out that the one from the Seven Star Civilization who had entered the star realm was ¡®Li Yuan¡¯.


    ¡°Well, there¡¯s nothing left but to trust the clan¡¯s judgment now.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Many within the Divine Kingdom must be looking forward to seeing me fail,¡± Mintian Hou thought to himself, ¡°The precise timing of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s assassination a few days ago¡­ It¡¯s very likely that a Demigod sold me out.¡±


    When the four Demigods acted, the commotion was huge, and naturally, there were many Demigods within the Divine Kingdom who took notice.


    ¡°This time the reinforcements sent by the clan are coming, I will tell no one.¡±


    ¡­

    ¡°The mission is essentially complete,¡± Lude Nef, with disheveled hair and a domineering presence, his eyes faintly red, spoke deeply, ¡°We have slain six Flying Heaven Martial Artists and four reserve Flying Heaven Warriors, dealing a heavy blow to the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others listened silently.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°We have also suffered casualties, Abbott, and Yanjun Ling have fallen in battle,¡± Lude Nef spoke gravely, ¡°Most of the many life-saving items we carried were also used up.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare to retreat.¡±


    Everyone nodded quietly, their moods slightly subdued¡­ Even though they had anticipated casualties, when a comrade actually died, their hearts still felt some sorrow.


    Abbott, a Prime Warrior genius, was ordered to come and fight.


    Yanjun Ling, one of the two great Flying Heaven Warriors left behind in the Fierce Feather Star Realm by the Blazing Flame Family¡­ regardless of his original intentions for staying.


    But in all matters, actions speak louder than intentions, and he had proved himself with his deeds.


    ¡°Jing He,¡± Lude Nef suddenly turned to Yu Jinghe, and with a feeling of exclamation said, ¡°Once I break through, you will be our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s number one Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°This time, if it weren¡¯t for your critical outbreak, holding off Wu Siman, we would have lost at least two more.¡±


    Swish! Swish! Everyone turned their gaze to Yu Jinghe, admiration in their eyes.


    Abbott and Yanjun Ling both died in the final battle.


    In that battle, two formidable Prime Warrior geniuses sprang forth from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡ªAo Jia and Wu Siman.


    Both men, in terms of skill level, were slightly inferior to Lude Nef.


    But Lude Nef¡¯s forte was assassination, not the kind of fighting where one faces ten head-on¡­ Yet Ao Jia and Wu Siman practiced powerful Divine Bodies and had fierce, overwhelming attacks.


    Coupled with the assistance of other Flying Heaven Level warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    At the crucial moment,


    It was Yu Jinghe who erupted, turning the tide by holding off the ferocious Wu Siman, allowing Tavares, Wu Manong, and the others to leave first.

    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± said Yu Jinghe, looking at her, ¡°are you sure you want to make the breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been stuck at the Prime Warrior realm for a long time,¡± Lude Nef spoke in a low voice, ¡°and I don¡¯t mind telling you, I¡¯ve already awakened the sixth Star Pulse¡­ it¡¯s time for a breakthrough.¡±


    Six Star Pulse? Everyone showed a look of surprise; they clearly understood what that meant.


    This practically signified that, given Lude Nef¡¯s comprehension and talent, once he made the breakthrough, his future would undoubtedly be terrifying within the ranks of the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go; let¡¯s head back,¡± Lude Nef said.


    ...


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Six streaks of light shot into the sky, speeding toward the war base thousands of kilometers away.


    ¡­


    The outside world was embroiled in an ongoing war.


    Yet, within the tranquility of the World within Worlds, deep within the ¡®Hall of Inheritance¡¯. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had been merging with that vast information, and after a whole day, he finally regained consciousness.


    He opened his eyes.


    ¡°This! This!¡± With a thought, Li Yuan felt a multitude of thoughts, numerous methods surfacing in his mind, as if they were inheritances born within him.


    Incredibly magical.


    ¡°I can clearly perceive many powerful Star Techniques, but it seems I can¡¯t speak of them,¡± Li Yuan noticed this fact, and it seemed as if an invisible restriction existed.


    For the time being, he could only study by himself and could not pass them on to others.


    But it was still marvelous.


    ¡°Truly worthy of a Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan marveled in awe: no wonder the two great civilizations were frantically fighting to the death.


    Li Yuan was not sure if immensely powerful beings within his civilization, like Dongfang Ji, Lant, Bai Shan Semi-Divine and others, had received a similar inheritance¡­ but at least, the Star Techniques available from the Starfire treasure trove were far inferior to what his master ¡®Ancient Torch Divine¡¯ had left behind.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake? How do you feel?¡± The girl stood on the side with her bare feet, her skirt fluttering.


    ¡°Very strong,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°My father left behind many Star Techniques, but the true core lies in only two Supreme Ninefold Star Techniques, ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ and ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ which I hope you can truly learn.¡± The girl¡¯s bright eyes looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°These two Star Techniques¡­


    ¡°The ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ is considered one of the ¡®Supreme Enlightenment Star Techniques¡¯ with great fame even in dimensional spaces and can greatly enhance the connection with the Law of Earth. If you can truly cultivate it to a very high level, your chances of Becoming a Divine Being will greatly increase,¡± the girl said, ¡°Even Divine Beings place great importance on this technique; it is a shortcut on the path to ultimate power.¡±


    ¡°Divine Beings place great importance on it?¡± Li Yuan marveled.


    Li Yuan nodded gravely: ¡°Alright, I will continue to cultivate diligently and strive to step into the Second Rank as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Right now, you¡¯ve only just completed the First Order Limit, the effect is not so apparent yet, but when it reaches the Second Order Limit, Third Order Limit, Fourth Order Limit¡­ the effects will become increasingly exaggerated.¡± The girl looked at Li Yuan: ¡°You will understand in the future.¡±


    Gou Yu already knew that Li Yuan had awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein and was also cultivating the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ is an ancient Star Technique that is both protective and allows for explosive strength; its might is endless,¡± Gou Yu¡¯s eyes showed a touch of reminiscence: ¡°Back then, after father had cultivated it to a very high level, his strength soared, and with this, he traversed various realms, slaying quite a few Divine Beings.¡±


    Slaying quite a few Divine Beings? Li Yuan was internally shocked.


    It sounded like the strength of his own mentor was not to be underestimated even among Divine Beings.


    ¡°Sis, does our master only know two Ninefold Star Techniques?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    ¡°Only?¡±


    Gou Yu paused, looking at Li Yuan with a strange gaze: ¡°Li Yuan, do you think Ninefold Star Techniques are as common as cabbages? Do you realize how rare it is to be able to practice two Supreme Star Techniques?¡±


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    ¡°Your Star Meridian talent is extremely high, and the fact that you could awaken a Nine Layer Star Vein so quickly is one of the reasons I chose you¡­ but in the future, if you can awaken one more Nine Layer Star Vein, I will be extremely satisfied,¡± Gou Yu said, shaking her head, ¡°You will understand in the future.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded obediently.


    Yet in his heart, he was wondering¡ªin case there were no accidents, once his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, he would awaken another Perfect Star Vein.


    But for now, he should keep it low-key!


    One must stay low-key.


    ¡°The Ninefold Star Technique ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ you can¡¯t cultivate it yet,¡± Gou Yu said, ¡°Therefore, the master specifically left behind the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ and the Fifth Layer Star Technique ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body,¡¯ which are in succession with the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ is considered a simplified version.¡±


    ¡°And the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ is a super-simplified version¡­ At the Prime Warrior stage, you can first cultivate the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body,¡¯ then as your Star Meridian grows stronger you can gradually practice ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ until you eventually practice the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯ The cultivation of the three Divine Bodies accommodate each other and are not mutually exclusive,¡± Gou Yu said earnestly.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, most Prime Warriors with limited Star Pulse awakenings cultivated Star Techniques that were Third Layer.


    Some top-tier geniuses could manage to cultivate one or two Fifth Layer Star Techniques or even Sixth Layer Star Techniques.


    If he could cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ he would at least be able to dominate at the Prime Warrior stage.


    However, cultivating a Divine Body was the most difficult; aside from needing a high realm and strong Star Meridians, often many external treasures were also needed to aid in cultivation.


    ¡°As for the other Star Techniques¡­


    ¡°Like the Domain Star Technique ¡®Nine Glorious Void,¡¯ the Escaping Technique ¡®Light Transformation,¡¯ the Slaughter Star Technique ¡®Severing Star Extinction¡¯ and others, there is a total of nine, ranging from Six Layers to Eight Layers¡ªyou don¡¯t need to rush to practice them. Wait until your strength has grown in the future, then choose the ones that fit you,¡± Gou Yu said: ¡°Cultivation of the Divine Body is of the utmost importance.¡±


    ¡°With a strong Divine Body, your direct combat ability will reach astonishing levels, and you will also be able to survive in many dangerous places.¡±

    Chapter 379: Chapter 254: The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    He had to take his sister¡¯s advice seriously.


    ¡°Apart from the Star Technique inheritance,¡±


    ¡°there¡¯s something else.¡± The girl turned over her palm, and a glazed antique lamp emitting a strange light appeared in her hand: ¡°Come, condense your Divine Sense onto the wick of the lamp.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan immediately did as he was told, his thoughts flitting past the glazed antique lamp.


    Hisss~ As if a mere mortal¡¯s arm had been scalded, Li Yuan felt a tremor in his soul¡­ He then noticed a faint, almost imperceptible connection with the glazed antique lamp in front of him.


    ...


    ¡°This thing is called a ¡®Spiritual Lamp¡¯, and it can sense the location of your soul,¡± the girl said as she looked at Li Yuan, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: ¡°As long as you are in this domain, then, through the Spiritual Lamp, I can confirm whether you are alive or dead.¡±


    ¡°That amazing?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished, truly what a method.


    ¡°Sister, this domain, what is a domain?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°You come from the Seven Star Civilization; the ¡®Seven Star Sea¡¯ where your civilization is located is a Dimensional Plane. Planes vary in strength and size¡­ many planes intersect and are collectively known as the Dimensional Domain,¡± the girl explained: ¡°Your domain has also given birth to quite a few formidable deities¡­ but that¡¯s of no concern to you for now.¡±


    ¡°For deities, crossing planes to reach other Dimensional Planes is extremely difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    So the entire Seven Star Sea is a Dimensional Plane.


    Does that mean, other civilizations of the Foreign Domain are located on different Dimensional Planes?


    Whoosh!


    With another wave of the girl¡¯s hand, the enormous stone mural, the ¡®Map of Myriad Stars¡¯, flew up from the side of the divine temple, and then it began to shrink rapidly¡­ It merged into a thin silver sliver that appeared in the void, until it completely disappeared.


    Swish! The thin silver sliver fell and floated in front of Li Yuan.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan stared at the sliver.


    It seemed similar to his own Storage Treasure.


    ¡°The Map of Myriad Stars is a Treasure for Assisting Cultivation in Enlightenment, incredibly mystical,¡± the girl said as she looked at Li Yuan: ¡°I have sealed it within this Storage Treasure. Once you recognize it as the master, you will be able to perceive and observe with your Divine Sense¡­ It can help you quickly master True Intent, and even ultimately step over the threshold of the Law.¡±


    ¡°But you cannot take it out, it involves great risks, and you must not disclose any information about it, do you understand?¡± the girl advised.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded solemnly.


    Having personally experienced the marvel of the Map of Myriad Stars, he clearly understood what a miraculous treasure it was.


    ¡°Finally, a few more items.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The girl waved her hand again, and a black long spear appeared in midair; it looked familiar, very much like the Black Chen Spear.


    There was also a fist-sized black Crystal Stone, its material unknown.


    Last was a purple jade token.


    ¡°This is a weapon I selected for you from the Armory after observing your weapon¡¯s style, it¡¯s a Fourth Rank weapon, also known as a Semi Divine Artifact,¡± she explained.


    ¡°In terms of power, it is average among Semi Divine Artifacts,¡± the girl said softly: ¡°The key is that its power is very concealed, and it can perfectly adapt to a master of any strength¡­ It¡¯ll be sufficient for you to use up through the Flying Heaven level.¡±


    A Semi Divine Artifact? Li Yuan was surprised as he looked at the black long spear, which didn¡¯t appear to have any characteristics of a Semi Divine Artifact at all.


    Indeed, it was sufficiently concealed.


    An ideal choice for ambushing, it would surely be underestimated by other powerful beings, and Li Yuan liked it very much.


    ¡°This Crystal Stone is a life-saving treasure I chose for you; when used, unless it¡¯s against some extremely strong Flying Heaven Warriors, nearly all below the Demigod level can be slain,¡± the girl pointed at the black Crystal Stone, speaking quite seriously: ¡°But remember, before you become a Demigod and gain perfect control over the Hall of Inheritance, I will only give you this one life-saving treasure.¡±


    ¡°So you must use it wisely.¡±


    ¡°Nearly all below the level of Demigod can be slain?¡± Li Yuan stared at the black Crystal Stone, holding his breath.


    A lethal weapon!


    In the whole Seven Star Civilization, it seemed that no technological weapons dared claim they could definitely kill a being below the level of Demigod.


    Not to mention a single combat weapon.


    ¡°Lastly, this is a token; even if you leave the World within Worlds, as long as you can return to the Fierce Feather Star Realm, you can return smoothly with this token,¡± the girl said to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Star Techniques, treasures for assisting in cultivation, weapons, life-saving items, token¡­ I have given you all that I should. Now it¡¯s all up to you,¡± the girl¡¯s eyes showed a hint of worry, but her voice was somewhat cold: ¡°The path to divinity, the Law of the Great Dao, both are extremely arduous; you can¡¯t become a deity by secluded cultivation alone. It¡¯s time for you to embark on your journey, to experience the wonders between heaven and earth. Only then can you reach the very end.¡±


    ¡°If you ultimately die on the path to becoming a deity,¡±


    ¡°Then, I will select another Direct Disciple for father,¡± the girl said slowly.


    Li Yuan looked down, mumbling in his heart.


    Another one? One of him was enough. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Sister, when I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, how should I return?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°That¡¯s the other matter I wanted to talk about,¡± she replied.


    ¡°Once you believe you have reached the peak of a Prime Warrior, don¡¯t rush to break through; first, return to the World within Worlds,¡± the girl said, looking at Li Yuan: ¡°At that time, if you can pass the second challenge left by father.¡±


    ¡°It will be the time when you have begun to gain control over the Hall of Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°The second challenge?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Did you think you received everything father left behind?¡± the girl shook her head: ¡°Your strength must be strong enough to gradually receive many treasures.¡±


    ¡°As your sister, I¡¯m here to keep them for you.¡±


    ¡°I will always be here waiting for you,¡± the girl said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°What are the requirements for the second challenge?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard,¡± she replied.


    ¡°When you are able to kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior with a single move, you should be about there.¡±

    Chapter 389: Chapter 257: The Fury of the Boundary Spirit! The Final Return (Additional Chapters 46 and 47)


    ¡°A fiery red token?¡± Li Yuan, hearing the voice of the Boundary Spirit, couldn¡¯t help but pause for a moment.


    Was this thing observing him all along?


    It never showed up during the life-and-death battle with the enemy, but now that it had found something good, it suddenly emerged?


    With murmurs in his heart, Li Yuan still followed the Boundary Spirit¡¯s command and fished out a fiery red token from the pile of relic items belonging to the two of them.


    Li Yuan remembered that this was something left by the enchanting woman he had smashed into a mist of blood with a stab of his spear.


    ¡°This token?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat puzzled. The token was the size of a palm, entirely red like fresh blood, with a special symbol engraved on the front.


    ... sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the back, there was the engraving of a Divine Palace.


    The entire token emitted a very special aura, similar to what Li Yuan had sensed in the Fire System Divine Being Inheritance Hall.


    It was the aura of the Fire lineage.


    ¡°You can try using Origin Power to probe into the token and see if you can fully activate it,¡± the Boundary Spirit¡¯s voice rose again, sounding more anxious than before, no longer as gentle.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, focused his mind, and quickly, Origin Power began to permeate into the token.


    Hiss~


    At that moment, Li Yuan felt a bit of resistance, but it was not particularly strong. The very next instant¡ª


    Boom!


    The fiery red token suddenly burst into a blaze of light, like a hot flame burning fiercely, extremely dazzling.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered; with his strength, and protected by an Origin Power Battle Suit, he could easily bear the heat of these flames.


    This flame was the transformation of his Origin Power running through the pathways inside the token.


    ¡°What is that?¡±


    ¡°Not sure.¡± Unlike the hundreds of First Rank Martial Artists nearby, who still hadn¡¯t recovered from the shock of the scene before.


    Then, they saw a group of scorching flames suddenly appear in Li Yuan¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Damn it! Ah!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed his token, his token! I knew I wasn¡¯t wrong, it¡¯s him!¡± The Boundary Spirit¡¯s voice suddenly became extremely angry, echoing in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°He¡¯s the one who killed the master.¡±


    Listening to the Boundary Spirit¡¯s angry roars, Li Yuan was stunned.


    According to the Boundary Spirit,


    this flaming token was a memento passed down by some powerful entity¡­ and this powerful entity was the murderer who killed the True Phoenix Divine?


    Such a coincidence?


    ¡°Li Yuan, you should return to the tent first,¡± the Boundary Spirit seemed to be suppressing the rage in its heart, its voice becoming much calmer: ¡°I¡¯ll explain it to you slowly.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan outwardly remained calm and walked back towards his tent.


    At this moment.


    ¡°Senior Li Yuan.¡± Two figures hurried over, both emitting the aura of Martial Artists, showing considerable respect.


    They were the main officers in charge of managing the area of the Relic Divine Palace, and the hundreds of First Rank Martial Artists nearby were under their jurisdiction.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Li Yuan replied courteously.


    Li Yuan knew that despite his great strength, he alone couldn¡¯t guard the entire Relic Divine Palace¡­ He needed these ordinary Martial Artists to patrol in all directions and report to him about enemy attacks.


    ¡°Were the two people who just died genius Origin Martial Artists from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?¡± they couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Should we report this to the base?¡±


    ¡°Report it,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently: ¡°Write in the report that these two were a bit stronger than the previous Semi Divine Level genius.¡±


    From the instant clash just now, Li Yuan had already perceived the two¡¯s formidability.


    Their Physical Quality assessment from the Divine Palace Inquiry was level 24.


    Skills? Li Yuan guessed the muscular man with the knife was slightly less skilled than Mo Hu, but the enchanting woman probably had already stepped into the Fifth Stage High Rank¡­ If they were allowed to slaughter at will, even Alicia would be defeated and dead.


    They were incredibly talented geniuses.


    It could be said that within the entire Seven Star Civilization, apart from Li Yuan, it was impossible to find such formidable ¡®geniuses¡¯ among First Rank Martial Artists.


    Therefore, Li Yuan concluded they were Semi Divine Level geniuses.


    Just in terms of skills, Li Yuan thought it was impossible to kill the enchanting woman in one move¡­ unfortunately, after cultivating the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body,¡± once he fully exerted his power, Li Yuan¡¯s instantaneous Explosive Power was close to a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    Naturally, he accomplished an easy crushing victory.


    ¡°Semi Divine Level geniuses?¡±


    ¡°Both of them were Semi Divine Level geniuses?¡± The two level 20 Origin Martial Artists were shocked.


    Before entering the World within Worlds, they were unaware, but upon arriving in the Middle Realm, being the core fighting force, they naturally got to understand these briefings.


    Li Yuan had killed all Semi Divine Level geniuses in one encounter? To what extent had Li Yuan¡¯s strength reached?


    Just the thought made the two level 20 Origin Martial Artists shudder.


    ¡°Alright, after you report, continue with the patrols, and report to me if there¡¯s any situation,¡± Li Yuan said lightly, walking straight into the tent.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The two level 20 Origin Martial Artists became even more respectful.


    ¡­


    Almost at the instant Freya and Roman perished,


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, the number four base of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, inside that temporarily constructed base,


    in a super-large conference room, over a hundred people awaited, busy.


    On the giant projected map in the center, the map was blurry, but there were numerous lights twinkling on the ground; occasionally, a light would extinguish.


    Each light represented a Martial Artist from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who had entered the World within Worlds.


    And the extinguishing of a light signified the fall of a Martial Artist.


    The dozens of observers had become somewhat numb; over the last two days, too many lights had gone out.


    The Martial Artists they had sent in had suffered over 80% casualties, and according to their big data analysis¡­ at most, within three days, the remaining First Rank Martial Artists would be exterminated by the Seven Star Civilization.


    There was no way around it.


    On the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side, geniuses like Alicia and over 200 Origin Martial Artists who had made the breakthrough¡­ slaughtering First Rank Martial Artists was too easy.

 Chapter 393 - 258: Principals Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 393: Chapter 258: Principal¡¯s Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)


    Hum~ Li Yuan only felt a flash before his eyes, followed by countless colorful lights zipping past him, and he felt as though he was being swept away by a current, his body even experiencing a sensation of weightlessness.


    His divine sense couldn¡¯t be extended outward.


    <<This probably isn¡¯t the legendary space teleportation, but rather moving along a passage,>> Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After barely more than ten seconds, Li Yuan felt the flowing lights disappear before his eyes, and an invisible force lifted him up from beneath his feet as he rose quickly through the passage, as if buoyed by an unseen force.


    He gently landed on the metallic induction platform.


    He had returned to the entrance of the passage, located within the War Fortress of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ...


    Above his head was a giant dome constructed of metal.


    <<Li Yuan.>>


    <<Li Yuan, you¡¯re finally back.>>


    <<Li Yuan, I¡¯m Tavares.>> A group of figures exuding powerful auras had been waiting for some time and came up to greet him, all sporting smiles and greeting Li Yuan in turn.


    <<Mentor Wu.>>


    <<Yu¡­ Mentor Yu.>> Li Yuan was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the group before him.


    He only recognized Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe.


    In fact, this was his first encounter with Yu Jinghe, and as for the others? He knew their names but couldn¡¯t match them to faces.


    But that didn¡¯t prevent Li Yuan from using Divine Palace Inquiry to instantly verify the strength of the group.


    29.9 level!


    29.9 level!


    30.2 level!


    ¡­Two Flying Heaven Martial Artists, and the rest were Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¡­ and from their self-introductions, Li Yuan understood that these Top Grade Origin Martial Artists were definitely the most fearsome among the Seven Star Civilization.


    Each had the strength to fight against a Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    Quickly, through introductions, Li Yuan got to know each of these powerful beings¡­ Lude Nef, An Yongya, Tavares, Dorothy¡­ each one a legendary supreme fighter in the eyes of common folk, their destructive power akin to human-shaped nuclear weapons, exerting tremendous deterrence.


    At this moment, they were all exceedingly polite to Li Yuan.


    <<Honored seniors,>> Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying, <<Why have you all come here?>>


    <<Li Yuan, didn¡¯t you send a message saying the passage was closing and you were preparing to return?>> Wu Manong chuckled, <<You are the number one contributor to this World within Worlds battle, so naturally we came to welcome you.>>


    The first time they met, Wu Manong was quite indifferent to Li Yuan, treating him like a junior.


    Now, though, he was quite enthusiastic.


    <<It¡¯s thanks to the seniors fighting on the outside that the War Base could stand unshaken, allowing us to easily win within the World within Worlds,>> Li Yuan continued, having always been aware of the situation outside.


    <<Haha, alright.>> Lude Nef with his hair in disorder and a smile on his face said, <<Li Yuan, there¡¯s no need for modesty, we¡¯ve seen your contributions. Not to mention other things, just for taking down three demigod-level geniuses, you¡¯re credited with exceptional meritorious service.>>


    <<Moreover, in the last two days, you led a team to kill nearly a thousand warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, which is also a great achievement.>>


    <<When it comes to merits, you are the first.>> Lude Nef laughed, <<It¡¯s already detailed in our alliance¡¯s report, and there¡¯s no need for further dispute over this.>>


    Li Yuan was speechless; his leadership in the last two days had involved using ¡®World within Worlds Inquiry Authorization¡¯ from the Boundary Spirit, akin to having full-map cheats.


    He exposed all those Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors who couldn¡¯t return due to the passage closing, one by one.


    In actuality, these warriors were innocent¡­ but in a battle for the existence of a civilization, there was no room for pity.


    It also allowed Li Yuan to gather a vast amount of spiritual nurishment, boosting his Spiritual Awakening Level to 45%, reaching the current limit.


    <<Let¡¯s go.>>


    <<Li Yuan, we have already arranged a feast to honor your return,>> Tavares said with a smile, <<and no need to call us seniors anymore; you are now a Prime Warrior yourself, just call us by our names.>>


    ¡­ S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After the feast, Lude Nef, Wu Manong, and other top-tier geniuses took their leave one after another.


    The closure of the portal used by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was known to the Seven Stars side, and with that, the Great Battle of the World within Worlds had come to a definitive end.


    Naturally, they didn¡¯t linger in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    The Flying Heaven Martial Artists like Flame Cloud Fox, Dorothy, and others had tasks to attend to, their presence in the Fierce Feather Star Realm destined to be a long-term affair¡­ just the cleanup after this battle would keep them busy for a long time.


    Only Yu Jinghe stayed with Li Yuan.


    <<Li Yuan, today is our first meeting, isn¡¯t it?>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile.


    <<I¡¯ve heard so much about Big Brother Yu.>> Li Yuan replied with a smile, <<In fact, you¡¯re my uncle¡¯s lifesaver, and I¡¯ve always kept that in my heart. I just didn¡¯t find it appropriate to mention it earlier with so many people around.>>


    Big Brother Yu, that was the name Li Yuan had adapted during the feast.


    <<Oh?>> Yu Jinghe expressed surprise.


    Li Yuan immediately recounted the incident of his uncle Li Changzhou trapped in the Rob Sea.


    <<If it hadn¡¯t been for you guarding the War Fortress back then, my uncle would surely have perished,>> Li Yuan said.


    <<That battle¡­>> Yu Jinghe immediately remembered and with a smile said, <<I believe that in the future, you will do the same, making contributions to our entire civilization.>>


    For a top-tier Prime Warrior like Yu Jinghe.


    They enjoyed a wealth of resources from civilization and were highly valued by the upper echelons.


    But many crises involving the Second Level Star Realms required them to fight at the forefront.


    <<Also, congratulations are in order for receiving the inheritance of a demigod-level powerhouse.>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile, <<The legendary Visualization Method is said to be very mystical.>>


    He was also somewhat aware of Li Yuan¡¯s gains.


    <<It was just good luck on my part,>> Li Yuan said with a smile.


    <<It¡¯s because your strength is formidable,>> Yu Jinghe looked at Li Yuan, <<The demigod-level geniuses from the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all formidable¡­ yet they all fell to your hands, which says it all.>>

 Chapter 397 - 259: Fang Hais Joy and Shock (Extra 48)

    Chapter 397: Chapter 259: Fang Hai¡¯s Joy and Shock (Extra 48)


    Faking an order from the senior Dongfang Ji? But then thinking about Fang Hai¡¯s strength and identity, Li Yuan let it go.


    Regardless, the interrogation had been passed.


    As for the questions from the Blue River Demigod, Li Yuan didn¡¯t really have any thoughts on it; it was just standard procedure.


    After all, his performance had been too monstrous, too illogical; it was completely normal that the higher-ups of the alliance would have questions and conduct some inquiries.


    This was something any power would do.


    ¡°In the World within Worlds, you must have had some extra big gains.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°But you don¡¯t need to worry too much, even if, as some Demigods suspect, you have received a Divine Being Inheritance, the alliance¡¯s upper echelons won¡¯t take it from you.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan listened.


    Wow! So there really were Demigods in the alliance who speculated that he had obtained a Divine Being Inheritance.


    ¡°First of all, your talent is extremely high; from the perspective of the entire civilization, it¡¯s impossible to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. You should still trust the alliance¡¯s higher-ups,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°Secondly, about divine inheritances¡­ Our Seven Star Civilization has obtained inheritances from not just one Divine Being,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°Our civilization has Divine Being Inheritances?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Of course, when you soon reach Seven Star Mountain, you will naturally understand,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°If we hadn¡¯t received Divine Being Inheritances, how could our civilization, as a newly promoted Fourth Level Civilization, have risen so quickly in just a few hundred years?¡±


    ¡°And produce so many Demigods? Right now, our civilization has dozens of Demigods, quite a few more than Tianliang Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his heart rather surprised.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization actually had dozens of Demigods? But thinking about it, it wasn¡¯t so strange¡­ Xia Country alone had three Demigods.


    Demigods have a lifespan of a thousand years¡­ at least the Demigods born of the Seven Star Civilization are all still far from reaching the end of their lifespans.


    ¡°Additionally, you have made great contributions this time, and the higher-ups are tallying them up,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°There will definitely be a great reward, just that it requires some time to wait.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The great battle in the World within Worlds had just ended; tallying merits and counting losses indeed required time.


    ¡°I estimate, at the minimum, you will be rewarded with 5000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°Seven Stars Points?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered with confusion.


    Just now, the headmaster and Yu Jinghe mentioned the Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°These are resources needed for purchasing some restricted treasures,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°You should understand that Blue Star Coins¡­ can¡¯t buy Fourth Rank treasures.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    Exactly! Like in the Starfire Treasure Repository, many rare treasures are astonishingly valuable, worth hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins, or even more.


    But the limit is the Third Rank¡¯s finest treasures.


    Fourth Rank treasures? You can¡¯t even see them in the Starfire Treasure Repository.


    ¡°But with Seven Stars Points, you can exchange for Fourth Rank treasures,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Seven Stars Points correspond to the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ which is the entire civilization¡¯s treasury. The ¡®Starfire Treasure Repository¡¯ that the warriors of the Martial Hall use is just a part of the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, the entire civilization¡¯s treasury?


    There must be a large number of rare treasures.


    Before, Li Yuan was pondering where to procure some treasures for practicing some Star Techniques.


    ¡°Previously, you were too weak, so you weren¡¯t granted access,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°But now, your strength has improved rapidly. Once the rewards come through, they will certainly allow you access.¡±


    ¡°Headmaster,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°how much are 5000 Seven Stars Points actually worth?¡±


    ¡°If you were to trade them for Blue Star Coins,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°one Seven Stars Point can easily be exchanged for a hundred million Blue Star Coins. Many powerful individuals would be willing to trade with you.¡±


    ¡°Normally, like the Myriad Life Extension Fruit you took last time, it¡¯s worth about 1000 points.¡±


    Li Yuan was surprised to hear that.


    So, 5000 Seven Stars Points were worth at least five hundred billion Blue Star Coins?


    The reward wasn¡¯t small.


    ¡°In reality, the value you¡¯ve created far exceeds 5000 Seven Stars Points. Just that one mysterious stone chamber alone, rewarding you with twenty or thirty thousand Seven Stars Points would be justified,¡± Fang Hai spoke frankly. ¡°But you also understand¡­ the treasures of the entire civilization are limited.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯re big expenses everywhere, so the rewards can only be limited.¡± S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Headmaster, now that my strength is growing stronger, naturally, I should make some contributions,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Not to mention, like the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯ last time, it was directly awarded as a reward.


    The sheer amount of treasures being almost freely given to cultivate young talents¡­ where does it all come from?


    Naturally, it¡¯s the contributions of the high-ranking powerful beings.


    ¡°Headmaster, I won¡¯t conceal it from you, what I got was indeed a Demigod Inheritance. After all, this is the inheritance site of a Fire System Divine, and his strongest Earth System lineage warriors are only Demigods,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight bow. ¡°However, the Boundary Spirit that controls the entire World within Worlds gave me a lot of help.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve gained quite a few treasures, some of which I don¡¯t need right now,¡± Li Yuan said half-true, half-false. ¡°The most precious of them is a divine Visualization Method.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his palm, Li Yuan revealed a translucent jade in his hand, emanating a strange fluctuation.


    ¡°Visualization Method?¡± Fang Hai, who had not been too concerned at first, moved his gaze, showing a hint of surprise.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need it for yourself?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I already have one; this is an extra, all left by that Demigod,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°I know the Visualization Method is precious, but I don¡¯t have a better channel, so I was thinking, maybe I could exchange it for some other treasures through you, Headmaster.¡±


    This was the result of Li Yuan¡¯s recent consideration.


    Selling it directly to the Starfire Martial Hall? He didn¡¯t know how much it would be worth¡­ Better find a trustworthy senior.


    Among those Li Yuan knew,


    the strongest and most trustworthy were Fang Hai and Bai Shan, the Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Sell it? Exchange for other treasures?¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, silence for a few seconds before sighing lightly, ¡°You lad, it seems you really don¡¯t understand its value.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s considered priceless at the highest level of civilization, even extremely important to Demigods.¡±


    ¡°In our civilization, there is none to spare; it¡¯s all been used up long ago,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°It¡¯s simply not possible to put it up for sale.¡±


    ¡°All used up?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred slightly, recalling what Yu Jinghe had said not long ago.


    In actuality, Li Yuan might not be ignorant, but he had his own considerations and thoughts.


    He pondered for a moment.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how about this,¡± Fang Hai looked toward Li Yuan, and said slowly, ¡°Sell me the Visualization Method.¡±


    ¡°30,000 Seven Stars Points!¡±


    ¡°Of course, that¡¯s not the true value of the Visualization Method, but that¡¯s all the Seven Stars Points I have on hand right now,¡± Fang Hai said directly, ¡°When I have enough Seven Stars Points later on, I¡¯ll make it up to you. If there¡¯s any treasure you want, you can also tell me.¡±


    30,000 Seven Stars Points? Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled slightly.


    That was definitely enough for his upcoming cultivation needs.


    ¡°Principal, don¡¯t you have a Visualization Method?¡± Li Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.


    Fang Hai was a top-level genius from the Seven Star Civilization, after all.


    ¡°No,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, somewhat wistfully, ¡°Visualization Methods aren¡¯t that easy to come by.¡±


    ¡°Principal.¡±


    ¡°Then 30,000 Seven Stars Points, it is enough,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°This Visualization Method is useless to me, and as for trading with others¡­ I¡¯m afraid other demi-gods might not be willing to give me 30,000 points.¡±


    ¡°With your talent, Principal, having an additional Visualization Method will only make you more fearsome. I think you have hope of reaching the level of a predecessor like Dongfang Ji,¡± Li Yuan said, half-flattering, half sincere.


    Time passed.


    Eventually, on Li Yuan¡¯s strong insistence, Fang Hai obtained the Visualization Method from Li Yuan for 30,000 Seven Stars Points.


    After such a transaction.


    Fang Hai¡¯s view of Li Yuan became increasingly favorable; in the past, he had only regarded Li Yuan as a junior and student worth cultivating¡­ Even though Li Yuan had performed exceptionally well this time, Fang Hai had just appreciated him more.


    But having ¡®cheaply purchased¡¯ the Visualization Method from Li Yuan, Fang Hai suddenly felt¡­ lucky!


    Li Yuan was his great fortune.


    It should be known that Fang Hai had also made efforts to obtain a Visualization Method; Dongfang Ji had helped him¡­ but he had never waited for the right opportunity.


    Now, he had unexpectedly obtained one from Li Yuan.


    ¡°With the Visualization Method, the hope of my breakthrough to the demi-god level spiritual power will be much greater, and the certainty of achieving my goal will naturally be much higher,¡± Fang Hai silently thought.


    The transformation of spiritual power became more difficult as one progressed.


    Prime Warriors with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power? Top-level geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef, whether relying on treasures or through the natural nurture of heaven and earth, could all achieve it.


    But for Flying Heaven Level to have demi-god level spiritual power? Even Fang Hai couldn¡¯t manage that.


    Even true demigods, after their breakthrough, often take decades to nurture their souls with their powerful bodies before their souls truly enter the demi-god realm.


    In short, extremely difficult!


    But having the Visualization Method would increase the hope by more than tenfold.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, in the report you submitted, you said you obtained two Star Techniques, what are they?¡± Fang Hai asked with a smile, ¡°Can you tell me?¡±


    ¡°Actually, there were three.¡±


    ¡°Two of them are Earth System Divine Body Star Techniques, one Seventh Layers, one Fifth Layer,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°But actually, the biggest gain I had in the Divine Palace ruins was the initial mastery of a Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Supreme Star Technique?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression changed, disbelieving as he stared at Li Yuan, even more shocked than when he saw the Visualization Method.


    Because this was a Supreme Star Technique!


    Although Visualization Methods are rare, there are still quite a few¡­ but Fang Hai had never seen anyone learn a Supreme Star Technique.


    ¡°This Star Technique, actually Principal, you know it,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°It is ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ gifted to me by Bai Shan Semi-Divine.¡±


    Quickly.


    Li Yuan changed his story slightly and recounted the true situation with the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.¡¯


    ¡°¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ turns out to be a support-type Supreme Star Technique?¡± Although Fang Hai kept a calm demeanor, his heart was filled with shock.


    ¡°After I awakened my star veins earlier, I cultivated this Star Technique as instructed by Bai Shan Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan said wistfully, ¡°After obtaining the inheritance, I then knew it was a Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    This was what Li Yuan had planned before returning from the World within Worlds.


    To gradually reveal his own talent.


    ¡°No,¡±


    ¡°You just said, you had initially mastered it,¡± Fang Hai seemed to realize something late, staring at Li Yuan as if seeing a monster, ¡°Have you awakened the Nine Layer Star Vein?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Within the depths of the Divine Palace ruins, I transformed and awakened the first Star Meridian to ¡®Nine Layers¡¯, and successfully cultivated this Star Technique to the pinnacle of First Rank,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly, ¡°Principal, please look.¡±


    While saying this, Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts shifted, and he activated his star meridians.


    Boom!


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s deliberate eruption, a hazy earth-yellow glow appeared on the surface of his body, with over a hundred thousand luminous points coming together to form star meridians¡­ revealing them entirely in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Vein?¡± Fang Hai, observing this scene, was thoroughly convinced.


    And in his heart, a storm was already brewing.


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization has finally given birth to its first owner of the Nine Layer Star Vein!¡±

 Chapter 398 - 260: Dongfang Jis Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)

    Chapter 398: Chapter 260: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)


    Fang Hai had long known that Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridian talent was extremely high.


    As a member of the highest echelon of the alliance, during numerous meetings, he had discussed Li Yuan with other Star Masters and even Semi-Divine beings¡­ all agreed that Li Yuan would definitely be able to awaken Six Star Veins in the future.


    Seven Star Veins? There was a glimmer of hope.


    Similarly, Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine had also discussed the matter, believing that Li Yuan had the potential to awaken several Seventh Layer Star Veins or even Eighth Layer Star Veins in the future¡­ but Nine Layer Star Veins? Indeed, that was unthinkable!


    Whether it was Seven Star Veins or Nine Layer Star Veins, both were legends in many dimensional planes.


    Had anyone cultivated to that level? Yes! But it was extremely rare, and many Divine beings found it difficult to find disciples with such Star Vein talent.


    ...


    Between the two, if one was to say which was more difficult, then the Seven Star Veins were even more challenging.


    But!!


    Even though Fang Hai was confident in Li Yuan and believed in his potential, he could never have imagined¡­ that just less than a month after becoming a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan had already awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein.


    He had even mastered the basics of a Ninefold Star Technique, truly cultivating it to the First Order Limit.


    This! It was beyond the limits of his imagination¡­ like an elder who had high hopes for a younger relative, thinking that with decades of hard work in cultivation, the relative might have the chance to become a millionaire, whereas the young one directly reveals a wealth surpassing hundreds of millions.


    ¡°Inconceivable! A monster!¡± Fang Hai could no longer hide the shock on his face.


    In the past, he had always considered himself highly talented and gifted, barely giving way even to his master, ¡®Dongfang Ji¡¯. He had always aimed to emulate his own master.


    But now?


    After a long moment.


    ¡°Li Yuan, conceal your Star Veins and Star Technique,¡± Fang Hai finally regained his composure, his face now showing a trace of solemnity: ¡°You haven¡¯t leaked the news of your awakening of the Nine Layer Star Vein to anyone else, have you?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan replied, shaking his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Fang Hai said, staring intently at Li Yuan, his voice low: ¡°Remember, this is a major secret, you can¡¯t tell anyone, even Dean Hai or Bai Shan Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°You must never reveal it.¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression was more serious than ever before, even more than when he first saw the ¡®Visualization Method¡¯


    ¡°Not even Bai Shan Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked hesitantly.


    ¡°No!¡±


    Fang Hai spoke earnestly: ¡°The more people who know, the greater the risk of it being leaked¡­ You simply do not understand that once the news of your awakening of the Nine Layer Star Vein is leaked, it could cause an immense storm.¡± S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°How many Star Veins have you awakened now?¡± Fang Hai inquired.


    ¡°Four,¡± Li Yuan replied: ¡°Additionally, three of them are at the Fifth Layer, Second Layer, and Second Layer, respectively. That¡¯s why I was able to achieve the First Order Limit by mastering another Body Refining Star Technique of the Fifth Layer.¡±


    ¡°No wonder you were able to easily solve two Semi Divine Level geniuses,¡± Fang Hai nodded slightly: ¡°If you cultivated for another ten years, awakening Six Star Veins and then awakening another Nine Layer Star Vein¡­ it would still be shocking, but it would be within the realm of comprehension.¡±


    ¡°But what about now?¡±


    ¡°Less than a month after becoming a Prime Warrior, at only Level 26, your spiritual power merely at Flying Heaven, your skill probably hasn¡¯t reached the Sixth Stage¡­ and yet you¡¯ve awakened your Star Veins to this extent.¡±


    ¡°Such talent, to say you won¡¯t awaken Seven Star Veins in the future¡­ I suppose no one would believe it.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Even what¡¯s called Divine-Grade ¡®Eight Star Veins¡¯ might not be completely out of the question.¡±


    Li Yuan was listening.


    Divine? Based on what he knew, the Ancient Torch Divine was one of the stronger ones among the Divine beings, with only Seven Star Veins.


    Even Gu You¡¯s highest expectation for him was only to awaken Eight Star Veins.


    All this was enough to prove just how rare and hard to come by seven or Eight Star Veins were.


    ¡°A tall tree catches the wind.¡±


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization is at war with many powerful civilizations for some special reasons,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly: ¡°Especially the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ that is a powerful civilization that has produced more than one Divine being, always coveting our Seven Star Civilization, trying to completely conquer us.¡±


    ¡°The two wars that almost destroyed Feixing in history were both started by the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Your current performance is already enough of a genius.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Once the news of the great war in the World within Worlds gradually spreads¡­ The Myriad Demons Civilization will target you and secretly attempt to assassinate you.¡±


    ¡°Assassinate?¡± The memory of the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s attempt to assassinate him crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°If they learn of your terrifying Star Vein talent, they would likely go to any length, even bewitch the Flying Heaven Level and Semi-Divine of our civilization to come to kill you,¡± Fang Hai said gravely.


    Li Yuan was shocked to hear this, bewitch the Semi-Divine of a civilization?


    Was that not madness?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised, the vast majority of the Flying Heaven Martial Artists and Semi-Divine in a civilization are naturally good,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes were firm: ¡°But human desires are infinite, never test human hearts¡­ In history, there have been cases of Semi-Divine betraying our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine betrayal?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled; this was definitely top-secret information.


    Semi-Divine, that was the pinnacle of a civilization¡¯s martial power.


    ¡°In short.¡±


    ¡°Not to be disclosed.¡± Fang Hai said earnestly: ¡°I will report to my master, but from now on, aside from myself and my master, you cannot tell anyone else, understood?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan realized the seriousness of the situation.


    It seemed the conflict and hostility between the Seven Star Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization had reached such a critical point.


    It sounded like.


    Other civilizations, like the Tianliang and Cloud Beast Civilizations, were not the true threats¡­ It was the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Once you gradually grow stronger.¡±


    ¡°Once you are at the Flying Heaven Level, even a Semi-Divine, you will have no fear of storms.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: ¡°At the moment, you can barely protect yourself¡­ but you are still far from truly dominating a sector.¡±


    ¡°The student will surely work hard,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°You must be tired from your journey, rest here for a while; I have some matters to attend to. When I return, we¡¯ll head back to Blue Star together,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­ Watching Fang Hai leave the conference room, Li Yuan sat in the chair, silently circulating his Star Veins and regulating his breath.

 Chapter 399 - 260: Dongfang Jis Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)_2

    Chapter 399: Chapter 260: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°It should be enough to show,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself.


    During his time in the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had been pondering a question.


    The strength he had revealed in this battle was defying the heavens.


    What if someone from the Seven Star Civilization, a Demigod, was determined to pry into his secrets?


    On his own, he couldn¡¯t withstand the scrutiny of a Demigod.


    ...


    The inquiry from the Demigod Qinghe seemed routine, but it also added to Li Yuan¡¯s worries¡­ If Fang Hai hadn¡¯t been there to interfere, would Qinghe have pursued his questioning to the end?


    From past experiences, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization don¡¯t tend to be shortsighted, generally speaking, they are quite just.


    However, it¡¯s never wrong to be cautious.


    Therefore, in a very short period of time,


    Li Yuan thought of three strategies to respond.


    Firstly, if a Demigod were spying on him, it would be because they suspected he possessed a valuable treasure. So, he would offer a treasure, which led to Li Yuan producing the ¡°Visualization Method¡±.


    Secondly, he needed to find a real powerful backer within the alliance.


    Bai Shan Demigod? He could ask, but wasn¡¯t persuasive enough! He might not deter the other Demigods, so if he were to seek the strongest, but could not find Dongfang Ji¡­ Li Yuan chose Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai was a direct disciple of Dongfang Ji, a man from Xia Country, and the Hall Master of Starfire Martial Hall in Blue Star¡­ in every respect, he was definitely from the direct line of Dongfang Ji¡¯s own faction.


    His character also inspired quite a bit of trust in Li Yuan.


    ¡°I am also a member of Starfire Martial Hall, a person from Xia Country,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°and even more so, the Principal¡¯s student, sharing a bond of mentorship¡­ should I present the Principal with a ¡®Visualization Method¡¯?¡±


    Seniors investing in juniors don¡¯t necessarily expect repayment¡­ but if the juniors remember and appreciate the kindness, the seniors are certainly very pleased.


    ¡°The Principal¡¯s status is already comparable to that of a Demigod, and I¡¯ll become the Principal¡¯s direct line,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Essentially, this means entering the most core circle of the Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Then, Senior Dongfang Ji¡­ would become my strongest support!¡± Li Yuan thought thoroughly.


    The third step, and most crucial first step¡ªreveal one¡¯s talents.


    Allies can falter, so the strongest backup must be oneself¡­ thus Li Yuan demonstrated his extraordinary talent to Fang Hai to prove his own value.


    ¡°Step by step.¡±


    ¡°In a situation where the Principal already had a very good impression of me, to further highlight my own value,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Barring any accidents, the Principal would quickly get in touch with Senior Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°And grant me¡­ the best cultivation conditions in the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°My only problem is that I¡¯ve revealed my talents a bit too quickly,¡± Li Yuan muttered. ¡°But, desperate times call for desperate measures. If I do not thoroughly impress the Principal in one go, with his talent and strength, he might not regard me so highly.¡±


    In Li Yuan¡¯s view, at a minimum, Fang Hai possessed Six Star Pulse, and might even have awakened Seven Star Veins.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan reviewed his thoughts and deliberated,


    in the top-most confidential room of this base, a highly secret chamber,


    Countless rays of light converged, forming a large projection.


    Fang Hai waited patiently, for several minutes, when suddenly, the screen trembled slightly.


    A blurred figure appeared on the projection.


    Fang Hai¡¯s eyes brightened and he bowed slightly, saying, ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Hai, what¡¯s the matter that you activated encrypted communication?¡± The soft voice of the blurred figure echoed in the room.


    ¡°It¡¯s important.¡±


    ¡°I feared being spied upon, so I initiated the highest level of encryption on the virtual network,¡± Fang Hai said gravely.


    ¡°Speak,¡± said the blurred figure, knowing his disciple well.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the same Li Yuan I¡¯ve mentioned to you before,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°He has just returned from the Fierce Feather Star Realm. In the World within Worlds, he¡­¡±


    Fang Hai quickly relayed Li Yuan¡¯s general situation.


    The blurred figure listened silently, being the strongest in the entire civilization, the absolute number one.


    In his eyes, his enemies and competitors were unimaginably strong, even including deities from other civilizations.


    Li Yuan? His performance, though outstanding, was considered by the figure to be¡ªquite good.


    Even when hearing about the ¡°Visualization Method,¡± the blurred figure showed no reaction.


    But then!


    When Fang Hai said, ¡°Li Yuan has awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein and cultivated a Supreme Star Technique to its First Order Limit¡­¡±


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Vein?¡± the blurred figure finally spoke, ¡°Are you certain?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve personally verified it, no doubt about it,¡± Fang Hai stated solemnly. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Silence followed; Fang Hai knew his master was contemplating.


    After a while,


    ¡°Order him not to leak any information,¡± the softened voice of the blurred figure instructed. ¡°Additionally, when he arrives at Seven Star Mountain, on the surface, provide him with a series of cultivation treasures following the normal process¡­ but secretly, start providing him with the highest level of cultivation on Seven Star Mountain starting next month.¡±


    ¡°In the months before he reaches Seven Star Mountain, let him stay within your watch, protect him well.¡±


    ¡°Everything as usual.¡±


    ¡°I will handle it well, and you make sure he cooperates. Before he truly grows strong, he must not reveal his true Star Meridian talent¡­ no Demigod, no Star Master, must know,¡± the blurred figure spoke. ¡°Understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± replied Fang Hai earnestly.


    ¡°Perhaps, my Seven Star Civilization might give rise to another invincible Semi-Divine being, or even¡­ a Divine being,¡± the blurred voice said.


    A trace of anticipation also filled Fang Hai¡¯s heart.


    The talent that Li Yuan had revealed was indeed unbelievably strong.


    ¡°How is your cultivation progressing? Have you been able to advance?¡± the blurred figure inquired again.


    ¡°The Law of the Great Dao is difficult, progress is slow,¡± Fang Hai said quietly. ¡°I have disappointed you, Teacher.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s normal.¡±


    ¡°The Law of the Great Dao, the essential mystery of the universe, is extremely hard for anyone with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power to comprehend¡­ You¡¯ve achieved entrance and are already considered a rare genius throughout the civilization,¡± the blurred figure spoke slowly. ¡°When I was at the Flying Heaven Level, I was not as advanced as you.¡±


    ¡°But Teacher, you stood at the very pinnacle among the Demigods at that time,¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help saying.

    ¡°So, don¡¯t slack off, you have the potential to surpass your teacher,¡± the blurry figure said, ¡°Just be patient, the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ judging by the time, it should soon emerge.¡±


    ¡°If you can succeed, you will truly have a chance to break through the ¡®Seventh Leaf World¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The disciple dares not compare with the teacher, but I will give it my all,¡± Fang Hai said.


    In the eyes of outsiders, he was a supreme powerhouse commanding respect, who could swiftly gather dozens or hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors with a single command¡­ but in front of his teacher, he was always very respectful.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    ...


    Fang Hai once again stepped into the conference room, his expression appearing quite indifferent, as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°Principal,¡± Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, back to Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The two quickly descended the stairs, and not far from the war base was the airport.


    ¡°Which aircraft shall we take?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°No need for an aircraft,¡± Fang Hai revealed a slight smile, ¡°True powerhouses rely on their own power to fly.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Hum~


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, so strong that he couldn¡¯t resist at all.


    Boom! Fang Hai, carrying Li Yuan, shot into the sky, and their speed quickly soared to several times the speed of sound.


    Much faster than a regular aircraft.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warrior!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Flying Heaven Warrior, the instrument indicates a speed of 2642 meters/second!!¡± In the war base, a warrior responsible for high-altitude Inquiry immediately detected them.


    ¡°Approaching seven times the speed of sound?¡±


    ¡°Definitely a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior!!¡±


    ¡°Too bad we can¡¯t see who it is.¡±


    ¡­


    As Fang Hai carried Li Yuan and flew directly toward Feixing, the transportation hub of the Third Star Realm on Blue Star,


    In another grand city of Feixing, the Qinghe Semi Divine had already returned to their own garrison.


    ¡°Not right!¡±


    ¡°Something is off.¡± The Qinghe Semi Divine suddenly realized the problem, ¡°If the Alliance Hierarch had really issued a command ¡®to allow Li Yuan not to answer,¡¯ San Ye would definitely have told me.¡±


    ¡°Even if it was issued later, San Ye would have definitely communicated with me.¡±


    San Ye Semi Divine was another highly respected Semi Divine of the Starfire Martial Hall and was the one Dongfang Ji trusted the most.


    They were in charge of the routine affairs of the Starfire Martial Hall all year round.


    Thinking of this.


    ¡°Beep~¡± Qinghe Semi Divine had naturally ascertained the truth without hesitation, and immediately dialed San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s communication.


    Soon.


    ¡°Qinghe? What¡¯s the matter?¡± A gentle voice rang out.


    ¡°San Ye, I want to report Fang Hai,¡± Qinghe Semi Divine said with a hint of anger in the voice, ¡°He dared to misuse the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s order, interfering with my normal Inquiry into Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The gentle voice seized on the key point, ¡°Is it that Li Yuan from Xia Country who just made great contributions in the Fierce Feather Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him,¡± Qinghe Semi Divine was about to continue, ¡°He did make great contributions, but he¡­¡±


    ¡°Qinghe Semi Divine.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch did indeed issue a command, from now on, all affairs concerning Li Yuan will no longer be the responsibility of your internal oversight department,¡± said the gentle voice, ¡°You are not allowed to investigate further, everything is to be directly managed by Star Master Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± the Qinghe Demigod exclaimed in shock, ¡°When was the order issued?¡±


    ¡°Classified, I cannot divulge.¡±


    ¡­


    Almost at the exact same time,


    in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.


    ¡°Have you gathered all the information on Li Yuan?¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes faintly reddened.


    ¡°We have, it¡¯s confirmed that Freya and Roman were indeed killed by the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s genius Li Yuan, but the specific means he used are still unknown,¡± several officials replied with heads bowed, fearing to enrage Mintian Hou.


    These past few days,


    Mintian Hou had been like a furious lion, even injuring a close Flying Heaven Warrior to the point of severe injury in his anger, making everyone in the office fear for their safety.


    ¡°Spread the word! Go and broadcast it far and wide!¡±


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Exaggerate his performance even more, send it to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization¡­ send it to all the hostile forces against the Seven Star Civilization.¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes were filled with endless hatred, ¡°Hurry, I want to hear of his death as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the several officials replied as if pardoned from death, quickly leaving.


    Leaving only Mintian Hou standing in the empty conference room.


    ¡°Genius?¡±


    ¡°Unprecedentedly monstrous talent?¡± Hatred seethed in Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes, ¡°Dare to spoil my plans, he must die! Must die!¡±


    His personality had always been one of retaliation for every grievance.


    As for whether Li Yuan would retaliate, Mintian Hou was never concerned.


    However formidable, could he possibly kill his way into the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?


    ¡­


    Not long after,


    the Myriad Demons Civilization, located in another dimensional plane, had already received the message from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    A few of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven Warriors, looking at the intelligence in their hands.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°What? A genius completely surpassing Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai? The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s first genius in history?¡±


    ¡°One move to annihilate two Semi Divine Level talents? Fake, surely! Impossible!¡±


    ¡°Is the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom suffering too great a loss, deliberately exaggerating to use us to eliminate Li Yuan?¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors were very astute, quickly sensing something was off with the intelligence.


    It was too detailed.


    Only a few days had passed, could the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom really have gathered intelligence to this extent? It was illogical. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The probability of exaggeration was high.


    ¡°But no matter what, this Li Yuan¡¯s talent must certainly be extremely high, we should make a thorough inquiry into him.¡±


    ¡°Collect his information.¡±


    ¡°The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom certainly wants to use us to kill with a borrowed knife, but my Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ we¡¯ve always wanted to kill the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s top talents anyway.¡±


    ¡°If the opportunity arises, we must assassinate him,¡± these Flying Heaven Warriors quickly reported upwards.


    Eventually, the order came through¡ªassassinate!


    The vast Myriad Demons Civilization had deep infiltration into the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but for the powerful Myriad Demons Civilization, ordinary Prime Warrior talents simply weren¡¯t worth the effort of elimination.


    Only those with Semi Divine Level gifts warranted vigilance.


    Of course,


    every assassination against a super talent often took a long time to prepare, requiring detailed intelligence gathering first.

    ¡­


    Just half a day.


    Li Yuan had already followed Fang Hai, traversing the Star Realm and planets, returning to the long-missed Blue Star.


    Above Kunlun Martial University. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Back again,¡± Li Yuan looked down at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar campus below.


    In the past month, he had changed too much and experienced too much.


    ...


    ¡°From now until July, don¡¯t go out and venture,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°just stay in the school and cultivate in peace until you go to the Martial Divine Hall in July.¡±


    ¡°Your permissions have been elevated to the peak of the Flying Heaven Level, and the Seven Stars Treasure Vault has been opened¡­ If you miss your family, arrange for someone from the Martial Hall to bring them to the school,¡± Fang Hai instructed.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He knew what the principal meant.


    Safety! Everything for safety! Too many people were watching him now.


    And his current strength, though seeming much stronger than before¡­ was actually more dangerous.


    ¡°Go on,¡± Fang Hai waved his hand, ¡°if there¡¯s anything, contact me directly.¡±


    On the way back, Li Yuan had already added the principal¡¯s V-Message.


    Hum~


    An invisible force rapidly carried Li Yuan down several hundred meters, gently landing him on the grassy lawn.


    ¡°Incredible.¡±


    ¡°Is this the threshold of the Law? Directly using the force of heaven and earth to fly others?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In the high skies, Fang Hai¡¯s figure had already disappeared.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Damn, Brother Yuan, you¡¯re back?¡± A surprised shout rang out, followed by the nearby villa¡¯s gate swinging open.


    Whoosh! A graceful figure instantly rushed out, excitedly hugging Li Yuan.


    It was Gu Qianghan.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, you came to see me as soon as you got back? Missed me?¡± Gu Qianghan said with excitement.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this my villa?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°No! This is my villa; look at the villa number,¡± Gu Qianghan also seemed puzzled.


    Li Yuan glanced at the villa number and immediately understood¡ªFang Hai had sent him to the wrong place.


    ¡­Li Yuan returned to Kunlun Martial University, which only caused a little stir in the Sixth Institute and did not create too much of a disturbance.


    Most people.


    would only think that Li Yuan disappeared during this time to venture into the Star Realm or underwent special training by Starfire Martial Hall/the school.


    After all, having won the virtual battle championship, there was no doubt about Li Yuan¡¯s talent, and he no longer had to care about the school¡¯s curriculum.


    The war in the Fierce Feather Star Realm? Maybe it would spread in the future, but it wouldn¡¯t reach the Blue Star for the time being.


    ¡­Inside the villa.


    ¡°Aunt, I was just out for some special training for a period, which is why I couldn¡¯t be contacted,¡± Li Yuan spoke to his family on the phone.


    In the projection, his uncle Li Changzhou¡¯s complexion was much better than before.


    Li Changzhou had already taken the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit; with so much time having passed, his body had recovered, and his Physical Quality had even reached Level 10 again.


    ¡°Muhua signed a contract with the Martial Hall? A D-level contract?¡± Li Yuan also heard about his brother¡¯s news and couldn¡¯t help smiling, ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Talking with his family, looking at the smiles on his aunt and uncle¡¯s faces, Li Yuan smiled subconsciously as well.


    His heart grew even more peaceful.


    Wandering and fighting in the Star Realm, clashing with powerful beings from Foreign Domains¡­ wasn¡¯t it for this very moment?


    ¡­


    Upon returning to Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan¡¯s life once again resumed its tranquility.


    Inside the villa.


    ¡°From now until the assembly in July going to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°There are three more months,¡± Li Yuan sat in the underground Martial Arts Room, silently pondering, ¡°Cultivation can¡¯t be delayed. I need to set a new training plan.¡±


    ¡°First of all, I must strive to raise my Physical Quality to Level 29 as soon as possible!¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I will come to see you in ten minutes,¡± a gentle voice sounded.


    It was Fang Hai¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Only three days back and the principal wants to see me again?¡± Li Yuan was startled.

    Chapter 406: Chapter 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)


    ¡°`


    ¡°If we¡¯re talking about real strength, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m still not a match for my teacher.¡±


    Li Yuan responded with a smile, ¡°The teacher¡¯s physical quality has long reached 29.9 degrees, much stronger than me. If he were to use his Star Technique, it would only be more terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the teacher¡¯s newly-understood True Intent Killing Move has not yet been truly unleashed,¡± Li Yuan added.


    In the past two months, Li Yuan had often sparred with Li Yang in practical combat, aware of Li Yang¡¯s real strength.


    With a Second Order Limit in physical quality and practicing two Star Techniques, his strength would be extremely formidable once unleashed.


    ...


    Among the dozens of top-grade Prime Warriors at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yang was ranked in the top five.


    Especially since his spiritual power reached the Flying Heaven Level, his skills had continuously improved, and in less than half a year, he had completely surpassed Dean Xu.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a physical quality advantage, nothing more,¡± Li Yang shook his head and said, ¡°Your physical quality is now close to 28 degrees. In the earlier fight, you were at an absolute disadvantage, yet you managed to defeat me. Even if I used my newly created True Intent¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Enough already, let¡¯s not have you students and teachers praising each other anymore,¡± Dean Xu finally could not stand listening any longer and interrupted, ¡°One is about to head to the Martial Divine Hall as Blue Star¡¯s top talent of his generation, the other soon to become a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ both of you are just showing off in front of me, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Li Yuan and Li Yang were stunned at first, then both burst into laughter.


    After a moment,


    The two of them put away their weapons.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the graduation ceremony is next week, join us for it,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯m heading to Feixing right away. If I hold a separate ceremony for you later, I won¡¯t be able to attend.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re going to Feixing immediately?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Every top-grade Prime Warrior, if their skills reach the Fifth Stage High Rank and they invent a True Intent Killing Move, can apply to go to Feixing for a special training session provided by the alliance once,¡± Dean Xu explained from the side. ¡°Your teacher is qualified now.¡±


    ¡°When he returns, he is likely to have become a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Dean Xu¡¯s eyes showed a hint of envy.


    ¡°Congratulations Teacher, good luck Teacher,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened as he said with a laugh, ¡°I wish Teacher an early success in becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Stop making fun of me,¡± Li Yang said with a shake of his head, ¡°It is true I just created the True Intent Killing Move, much quicker than I had anticipated.


    ¡°But Li Yuan, your Skill Realm is even higher than mine¡­ you should know how difficult it is to truly perfect a True Intent Killing Move,¡± Li Yang sighed, ¡°If I can truly break through to reach Fifth Stage Perfection and become a Flying Heaven Warrior in three years, that would be excellent.¡±


    ¡°Perfecting a True Intent Killing Move certainly is tough,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In these two months, besides perfecting the second True Intent Killing Move, he had only come up with the third True Intent Killing Move, and even the third one was not yet fully accomplished¡­ his comprehension of skills had not yet reached the Fifth Stage Limit, and the cultivation of skills indeed became harder as one advanced.


    ¡°Teacher, I will apply for the graduation ceremony,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect to have only spent a year at university.¡±


    Li Yang and Dean Xu, hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°Haha, you must be the fastest graduating student in the history of Kunlun Martial University,¡± Dean Xu said with a laugh, ¡°Not even 18 when you enrolled, and not even 19 when you graduate.¡±


    ¡°Who knows, in the future, you might even become the most outstanding graduate of Kunlun Martial University,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    Dean Xu and Li Yuan were both taken aback at this remark.


    After all, the most outstanding graduate in the history of Kunlun Martial University was Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Li Yuan started to say.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be modest,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Martial Arts Cultivation is full of hardships, but young men should always have dreams. Although senior Dongfang Ji is strong, there¡¯s always hope for those who come after to surpass him.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s never a strongest, only stronger.¡±


    ¡°Why can¡¯t my student be that person?¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile, ¡°Work hard, and when your biography spreads across the Seven Stars, you can also include me in it.¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s what you¡¯re aiming for,¡± Dean Xu quickly picked up the conversation.


    They all laughed again.


    But in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, he was also silently thinking, ¡°Indeed, why can¡¯t it be me?¡±


    ¡­


    Night fell, and in the Martial Arts Room of the underground villa,


    ¡°Who would have thought,¡±


    ¡°In the blink of an eye, I almost have the strength comparable to Teacher Li Yang,¡± Li Yuan reflected with some emotion.


    Li Yuan still remembered.


    The impression Teacher Li Yang made on him at last year¡¯s Jiangbei Martial University event, so strong and terrifying, like a War God.


    With that thought, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª-


    [Life Level: 27.7 degrees (Second Order)]


    Fist Strength: 618,000 kilograms


    Speed: 327 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: 33.8 degrees


    Willpower: 34 degrees


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 45% (current limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: 23 degrees (training efficiency 10+2.5+1.5+1.5+1)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 93%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 93%)

    Fifth Layer Star Technique ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± (Second Order 2 degrees: 7 degrees)


    ¡­


    ¡°Nine Leaves Purple Spirit, Bone Flame Divine Spring, the effects are indeed extremely good,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself. ¡°In just two months, along with normal Origin Power cultivation, my physical quality soared from 26 degrees to 27.7 degrees.¡±


    This was an exaggerated improvement, and Li Yuan¡¯s Basic Fist Strength had grown significantly.


    With normal physical exertion, his running speed was nearly close to the speed of sound.


    ¡°With the rapid improvement of my physical quality and combined with the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯, my spiritual power has also grown very quickly,¡± Li Yuan felt that his decision to purchase treasures was incredibly correct.


    Boost your physical quality at full speed.


    The stronger the foundation, the more vigorous the life force will become. This was why Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridian Level had grown rapidly to 23 degrees, even awakening the fifth Star Meridian.


    Like the second Star Meridian, it was approaching the awakening of the Sixth Layers, but it seemed it would take a long time to cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡°Great Earth Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 407 - 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_2

    Chapter 407: Chapter 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_2


    The awakening of a single Star Meridian becomes increasingly difficult as one proceeds.


    And the leap in spiritual power has made Li Yuan¡¯s skill level improve all the more rapidly.


    Especially after creating the third True Intent Killing Move, it allowed him to easily break through the minor bottleneck at 90% of the Fifth Stage.


    It could be said that Li Yuan¡¯s skill level had truly reached the Flying Heaven Level.


    However, even with a talent as great as Li Yuan¡¯s and with the aid of various external factors, after reaching the Fifth Stage Perfection, his cultivation and comprehension speed inevitably slowed down quite a bit.


    ¡°One step at a time,¡± Li Yuan said silently to himself, ¡°Now, there¡¯s no need to deliberately pursue rapid progress in True Intent Comprehension¡­ Let it come naturally, and with the creation of more True Intent Killing Moves, it¡¯s only a matter of time before stepping into the Sixth Stage Skills.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan was quite at ease now, given that his skills had improved at a terrifying pace.


    If one were to only consider skill level among peers, even the principal at 19 might not have been able to keep up with him.


    ¡°I¡¯m about to graduate.¡±


    ¡°And in just over half a month, I¡¯ll set off for the Martial Divine Hall in Feixing,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Unfortunately, per the principal¡¯s order, I can¡¯t return to Jiang City right now¡­ At the end of the month, when Muhua and the others are on vacation, I¡¯ll arrange for someone from the Martial Hall to bring my aunt and uncle over to the school for a few days¡¯ holiday.¡±


    Once he went to the Martial Divine Hall in Feixing, returning to Jiang City would become even more difficult.


    ¡°Just that¡­¡±


    ¡°Two months have passed, and Lanyue still hasn¡¯t come out?¡± a thought flitted through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Even though he had left the Fierce Feather Star Realm, Li Yuan still kept a close watch on the World within Worlds.


    But there had been no news at all.


    ¡°Continue to cultivate Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan calmed himself and started cultivating the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± again.


    With each improvement in physical quality, Li Yuan would try to practice two Star Techniques each time.


    He never reached the requirements for cultivating the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± at the Second Level.


    But a week ago, as his physical quality improved, Li Yuan found he could finally attempt to imprint the Second Level Star Mark of the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± on his Star Meridians.


    Now, he had successfully cultivated the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± to the Second Level 2. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ at Second Level 2, overall level is 7; the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ is at First Order 9 levels, overall level is 9,¡± Li Yuan thought vaguely, ¡°If I calculate it this way, does that mean if I cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the First Order Limit, its power would be nearly as strong as the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ at the Second Order Limit?¡±


    If his guess was true.


    A Nine Layers Star Technique, when cultivated to the Third Rank Limit by a Flying Heaven Warrior, the overall level should be 27.


    And a Demigod using a Sixth Layer Star Technique, when cultivated to the Fourth Rank Limit, the overall level would only be 24?


    ¡°It seems my conjecture is probably true.¡±


    ¡°A Demigod¡¯s Fifth Layer Star Technique, compared with a Flying Heaven¡¯s use of a Supreme Star Technique, the difference in power would naturally be immense,¡± Li Yuan realized, which explained why those Level 37 Flying Heaven Warriors could fight and even slay many Demigods out of their league.


    The foundation is close! The skill level is close!


    If the Star Technique power of a Flying Heaven Warrior is terrifying enough, they can indeed manage to fight beyond their rank.


    ¡°Then, what if I could cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ during the Prime Warrior stage?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew more expectant.


    He calmed his mind.


    ¡°Take it slowly,¡± Li Yuan continued to painstakingly cultivate the Star Technique ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body,¡± imprinting Star Marks on one Life Star after another.


    ¡­


    As days went by, Li Yuan continued to practice diligently.


    During this time, he also submitted his graduation application.


    Within just one hour, it was approved ¡ª he was allowed to graduate.


    ¡°Why do I feel like the school can¡¯t wait for me to graduate?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, not placing too much importance on it.


    ¡­June 8th.


    Like usual, Li Yuan practiced spear technique, but today he was doing so on the lawn outside the villa.


    ¡°The spear must be fierce, swift and as fast as lightning.¡±


    ¡°Unlike the sword, the variability of spear movements should be swifter than those of Sword Technique and Swordsmanship,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently on the Spear Technique.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan noticed his smart ring vibrating; a thought told him who it was: ¡°Senior Liu?¡±


    He stopped practicing and tapped the light screen.


    Whoosh~ A small projection of the light screen appeared, showing the figure of Liu Jing.


    ¡°Senior Liu,¡± Li Yuan greeted with a smile, ¡°what can I do for you? You¡¯re suddenly getting in touch.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°I should arrive at Kunlun Martial University tomorrow,¡± the elder in the light screen said with a laugh, ¡°It¡¯s been decades, and I don¡¯t know too many people anymore, so I thought maybe you were still at school and decided to call and ask.¡±


    ¡°Senior coming to the school¡­¡± Li Yuan was about to continue when a flash of shock crossed his eyes, ¡°Senior, you¡¯ve returned to Blue Star? What about the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right; the major pathways in the Mingxu Star Realm have just undergone some changes and are continuously expanding,¡± Liu Jing¡¯s voice became serious, ¡°It has been upgraded to the Second Level Star Realm¡­ It now allows beings below Level 27 to pass through, and I estimate that it will soon stabilize completely, allowing all Second Rank beings to pass through.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, I took the opportunity to come back to Xia Country,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile.


    ¡°It really got upgraded?¡± Li Yuan was shocked.


    Before, he often heard about sudden upgrades to star realms and had similar descriptions in textbooks and general knowledge classes¡­ But this was his first real contact with one.


    ¡°The upgrading of the Mingxu Star Realm to a Second Level Star Realm is within our expectations,¡± Liu Jing said sentimentally, ¡°After all, this star realm is too vast and has given birth to countless lives, as well as many Flying Heaven level beings¡­ In fact, its essence should be much stronger than most Second Level Star Realms.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    Indeed.


    Compared to the ¡®Fierce Feather Star Realm,¡¯ a Second Level Star Realm he had visited, the Mingxu Star Realm was much larger and more fascinating.


    It¡¯s just that he was too weak during his last visit and did not dare to explore deeply or adventurously beyond the frontier bases.

    Chapter 408: Chapter 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_3


    ¡°Now that the Star Realm has upgraded, what¡¯s the plan from above?¡± Li Yuan asked with considerable curiosity.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve heard about some of your accomplishments, Blue Star¡¯s virtual combat champion, you must have very high clearance, so it¡¯s no problem to share some details.¡± Liu Jing said with a smile, ¡°The state is likely preparing to fully develop the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ planning to set it up as a breeding area.¡±


    ¡°A breeding area?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and he nodded, ¡°The environment in the Mingxu Star Realm is extremely good. If it¡¯s developed as a breeding zone, it won¡¯t be difficult to sustain a population of several billion in the future.¡±


    According to the intelligence Li Yuan was aware of, the Mingxu Star Realm should be among the most habitable realms that Blue Star has come into contact with.


    Like the Fierce Feather Star Realm, the environment is actually quite harsh, yet it still supports a population of over a hundred million.


    Similarly, the Rob Sea Star Realm also has very adverse living conditions.


    ...


    And the only Third Level Star Realm on Blue Star, the ¡®Wanhan Star Realm¡¯, is even more terrifying. Ordinary Prime Warriors find it difficult to survive there, let alone ordinary people¡­ who would probably die within a day of arrival.

    ¡°In the past, due to the restrictions at the entrance, the alliance couldn¡¯t invest a large amount of resources.¡± Liu Jing said, ¡°Now, though, we essentially have enough.¡±


    ¡°However, carving out a large-scale breeding zone is likely to lead to a conflict with the indigenous life of the Mingxu Star Realm, I suppose.¡± Li Yuan thought of this issue.


    The native life forces in the Mingxu Star Realm are extremely formidable.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Liu Jing couldn¡¯t help but nod, ¡°Not just the Mingxu Star Realm, such habitable realms with vast territory and numerous mineral resources¡­ the Tianliang Civilization will certainly also go all out to compete with us, and a major war is inevitable.¡±


    ¡°A major war?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    If things go wrong, it could turn into another meat grinder battleground like Rob Sea, it¡¯s hard to say.


    But this is also inevitable.


    Every civilization that wants to advance must seize every opportunity and try to compete for precious resources.


    A step behind is to fall behind at every turn¡­ if the Seven Star Civilization doesn¡¯t work hard to strengthen itself, it could easily be swallowed up by other civilizations.


    ¡­


    After chatting with Liu Jing for a while longer, they ended the communication.


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Li Yuan immediately started searching for relevant information on the virtual network using his privileges.


    His clearance level was much higher than Liu Jing¡¯s.


    Before long, Li Yuan finally found something in a ¡®meeting record¡¯ of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°Ming Mountain?¡±


    ¡°The Flying Heaven Warriors believe that this major change comes from the Ming Mountain within the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, remembering the scenery of the Mingxu Star Realm back in the day.


    That mountain that towered thousands of kilometers high, indeed, was unimaginable.


    And it wasn¡¯t an extraterrestrial star.


    ¡°But it has nothing to do with me,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°If they wanted to explore the secrets of Ming Mountain, the alliance leadership would either dispatch people to break through to Flying Heaven Warriors within the realm.¡±


    ¡°Or, they would send top geniuses like Lude Nef and Wu Manong.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, what could be used to fight against the indigenous Flying Heaven life of the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He could imagine that, in the future, whether the Seven Star Civilization wanted to open up a new breeding zone,


    Or to compete with the Tianliang Civilization,


    The struggle was bound to be very brutal.


    ¡­


    The matter of the Mingxu Star Realm was only a minor episode for Li Yuan; he wasn¡¯t yet in a position to worry about this affair.


    The next day.


    Liu Jing arrived at Kunlun Martial University, and both Li Yuan and Li Yang went to greet him, and they accompanied Liu Jing on a tour of the school.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you already possess the strength of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?¡± When Liu Jing learned of this news, he was similarly surprised and astonished.


    He knew of Li Yuan¡¯s exceptional talent, but barely half a year had passed.


    Could he have grown to such an extent already?


    ¡­


    Liu Jing¡¯s visit to Kunlun Martial University was just to see his alma mater¡­ After seeing him off,


    A few more days passed.


    ¡°Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony,¡± Li Yuan stood on the balcony on the second floor of his villa, overlooking the tranquil campus, feeling somewhat sentimental, ¡°How fast time flies.¡±


    Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Haha, with graduation coming up, I should leave something for the juniors behind.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mouth curled into a slightly mischievous smile.


    He turned around,


    And headed straight for the rest area, quickly logging into the virtual network, the Kunlun Martial University space.


    ¡°Kunlun Nine Mountains.¡± Li Yuan directly applied to challenge the ¡®Kunlun Nine Mountains¡¯.


    Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    This was a ¡®challenge space¡¯ set up within the virtual network by Kunlun Martial University specifically for its students.


    At the start of his studies, during the freshman competition, Li Yuan had represented the Sixth Institute to blaze through the Fourth Mountain, stopping at the Fifth Mountain.


    Since then, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t attempted the challenge again.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash, Li Yuan arrived at the foothills of the first mountain of the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    With just one glance, Li Yuan saw the Kunlun Nine Mountains record in the view next to him:


    Freshman record of Kunlun Nine Mountains (from Seven Stars Year 2009 to present)


    First place: Yan Jing, 8000 points (2030)


    Second place: Jin Huguo, 8000 points (2042)


    Third¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°Now that I¡¯m about to graduate, let¡¯s give the juniors behind me a bit of a shock,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile, ¡°Let them know there¡¯s a Li Yuan among them.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, holding a Long Spear and setting his Physical Quality to level 20, strode towards the first mountain.


    Just half an hour later.


    Li Yuan finished the challenge, looking at the rankings that had been thoroughly refreshed, he felt quite satisfied.


    ¡°If Dantai Feng sees this, he¡¯s bound to be envious and resentful,¡± Li Yuan grinned, ¡°After all, he has no way of refreshing the various school records of Starfire University like I did.¡±


    The records of the two schools were of entirely different difficulty levels.


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan left the virtual network.


    ¡­


    Just one minute after Li Yuan completed the Kunlun Nine Mountains challenge.


    Swoosh!


    A graceful figure appeared at the foot of the first mountain, notably, it was ¡®Shi Xiao¡¯, a senior sister with whom Li Yuan was quite familiar.

    Chapter 409: Chapter 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_4


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    ¡°That girl Qiu Jing, her cultivation is progressing incredibly fast,¡± Shi Xiao thought to herself, ¡°She began cultivating a year later than me, and yet her scores on the Kunlun Nine Mountains are almost equal to mine, and she has even made it to the Fifth Mountain.¡±


    Generally, one needs an Intermediate Rank Fourth Level technique to make it to the Fifth Mountain.


    As Shi Xiao was preparing to challenge the mountain herself, she subconsciously glanced to her left, where there usually was a screen. The screen would display various records of the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    The next moment, she was stunned.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ...


    ¡°Am I seeing things?¡± Shi Xiao couldn¡¯t believe her eyes, her mouth forming an involuntary ¡®O¡¯ shape.


    ¡°This! This! It can¡¯t be right,¡± Shi Xiao stared at the highest screen.


    Because the record on the screen clearly showed:


    Kunlun Nine Mountains School History Records (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present)


    First Place: Li Yuan, 1,000,000 points, has cleared (Year 2044)


    Second Place: Yan Jing, 780,000 points (Year 2034)


    Third place¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°The year 2044 is this year, Li Yuan, could it really be the Li Yuan I know? But he¡¯s clearly just a freshman! How is this possible?¡± Shi Xiao¡¯s mind was already in turmoil.


    She was fond of Li Yuan and knew that his talent and power were truly terrifying. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As a freshman, securing first place in the Blue Star virtual combat competition was already an unprecedented historical achievement.


    But to fully clear the Kunlun Nine Mountains was something exceedingly difficult.


    For instance, Yan Jing, before Li Yuan and Jin Huguo, was considered the top prodigy in the past several decades of Kunlun Martial University, and it was only with difficulty that he managed to enter the Ninth Mountain as a fifth-year student.


    There was still a long way to go before completely clearing the Ninth Mountain.


    Li Yuan though?


    He actually cleared the whole Kunlun Nine Mountains as a freshman¡­ What an incredible feat this was.


    Suddenly.


    A thought surfaced in Shi Xiao¡¯s mind: ¡°Perhaps, for the next several decades, or even a century, no one will be able to break the record left by Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Only¡­¡±


    ¡°With such a high level of skill, Li Yuan is probably going to graduate soon,¡± Shi Xiao¡¯s thought process was somewhat complex for a moment.


    ¡­


    It wasn¡¯t just Shi Xiao who had seen it; many students from Kunlun Martial University would attempt to challenge the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    Therefore, in an exceedingly short amount of time,


    this piece of news spread through Kunlun Martial University like a hurricane.


    ¡°Can¡¯t challenge it anymore.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, he¡¯s just a freshman, right?¡±


    ¡°A freshman, clearing the Kunlun Nine Mountains? How advanced is the skill of our big brother?¡±


    ¡°This! This! How are we supposed to challenge it now?¡±


    ¡°An unbreakable record.¡± The entire Kunlun Martial University, with tens of thousands of students, was completely boiling with excitement.


    This new record,


    combined with the miracle Li Yuan had created in the Blue Star virtual combat competition¡­ ensured that he would become a new legend in the history of Kunlun Martial University.


    A legend that far surpassed Yan Jing and Jin Huguo.


    ¡­


    ¡°He cleared the Kunlun Nine Mountains?¡± When Jin Huguo received the news, he too was quite shocked, ¡°I have just managed to enter the Eighth Mountain.¡±


    Entering the Eighth Mountain and clearing the Ninth Mountain might seem like there¡¯s not much of a gap.


    But Jin Huguo admitted to himself that even with five more years, he might still not be able to clear the Ninth Mountain.


    The Ninth Mountain was originally established not for students to clear, but as a benchmark!!


    ¡°Now, this benchmark has become my junior brother Li Yuan,¡± Jin Huguo couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that with Li Yuan brother¡¯s strength, he will rise rapidly in the Martial Divine Hall, becoming the most dazzling presence there.¡±


    For a moment, Jin Huguo¡¯s expectations for the upcoming trip to the Feixing Martial Divine Hall grew.


    ¡­


    Time passed slowly.


    Before you knew it, half a month had gone by, and the graduation ceremony quickly came to an end. Li Yuan¡¯s family had come to the school for several days, reunited for a few days, and then he had sent them back to Jiang City.


    Finally.


    June 29th.


    ¡°Li Yuan, assemble, prepare to head to Feixing,¡± Li Yuan received the command from the principal.

    ¡°`


    Rumble~ Accompanied by a slight tremble in the flying vehicle, the cabin door immediately opens.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived, come on down.¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice rang in the minds of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With Li Yuan taking the lead, the twelve geniuses streamed out like fish swimming through water, landing on the ground with a leap.


    ¡°It¡¯s huge!¡±


    ...


    ¡°The legendary Seven Star Mountain, it truly is a levitating divine mountain.¡±


    ¡°And there¡¯s Martial Divine Hall, one of the highest divine halls of our Seven Star Civilization.¡± Everyone could not help but exclaim in awe.


    Before their arrival, most of them had inquired about the Martial Divine Hall and Seven Star Mountain, but due to access limitations, they could only find some simple descriptions.


    Not even images could be found on the virtual network, the secrecy level was extremely high.


    Very mysterious.


    Now, they finally saw the true Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was also quite shocked as he looked at everything within his view.


    In the sky, there was a fiery red sun, its light illuminating the land, but when it fell on the people, it felt warm and comfortable.


    Very comfortable.


    Where they stood was a vast plain, incredibly spacious, with many large flying vehicles coming and going¡­ allowing them to clearly see a mountain range suspended a thousand meters in the air not far away.


    A mountain range with exactly seven peaks hovered between heaven and earth, its surface layer shrouded in a hazy glow, radiating endless might, making it unique in the whole world.


    With the naked eye, Li Yuan and the others could see that this mountain range seemed enveloped in mist, with many palaces and floating flying vehicles faintly visible.


    ¡°Seven Star Mountain.¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, my father and I have mentioned that Seven Star Mountain is the residence of the top geniuses of our Seven Star Civilization, protected by the highest security level.¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°Only by being able to reside on Seven Star Mountain can one truly be called a top genius of the civilization.¡±


    Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Harmon, Yin Man, and the others listened earnestly.


    Among this group, no one could rival Dantai Feng in terms of background and world experience, except for Li Yuan.


    After all, he comes from a Demigod family.


    ¡°Reside on Seven Star Mountain?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly.


    As far as he knew, people like Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe were members of Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Martial Divine Hall.¡± Dantai Feng then pointed to the distant, standing on the vast land below Seven Star Mountain, a towering ancient and massive palace that radiated a profound aura.


    Even though it was more than ten kilometers away, the strong aura contained within the ancient palace still made Li Yuan, Dantai Feng, and the others hold it in solemn regard. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Only by seeing with their own eyes.


    Could they truly sense the vast mystery of Seven Star Mountain, Martial Divine Hall¡­ like that colossal floating mountain range, had already surpassed Li Yuan and the others¡¯ understanding of ¡®technology.¡¯


    Subconsciously, they felt that such a sight probably couldn¡¯t be achieved through technological means.


    ¡°Tsk tsk, it¡¯s said that Martial Divine Hall contains great secrets.¡± Dantai Feng said solemnly to the others: ¡°The so-called First Rank inheritance, Second Class inheritance, and Third Class inheritance, the differences all lie in this Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Yuan patted his shoulder, pointed at a distant spot, and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s time to gather.¡±


    ¡°Cough cough, Li Yuan, it¡¯s not easy for me to show off, can I finish?¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of melancholy: ¡°After all, in the upcoming Battle of Seven Stars in half a month, I don¡¯t even have the qualifications to participate, I can only watch you guys show off.¡±


    ¡°How old are you? Next year or the year after, once your Physical Quality improves, just participate again.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was quite clear.


    For the entire Seven Star Civilization, it¡¯s not difficult to elevate a person¡¯s Physical Quality to level 29, it¡¯s just a matter of time¡­ The difficult part is the skill level, the Star Meridian.


    Therefore, although Tian Dazhuang¡¯s Physical Quality was only level 14.


    But because he achieved the Fifth Stage Skill in his first year, coupled with his astonishing pace of skill progress over the past year, he was specially recruited.


    In at most four years, within the Martial Divine Star Realm, Tian Dazhuang¡¯s Physical Quality would soar to the Top Grade Origin Martial Artist level.


    This was a point mentioned in many documents.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, and the crowd followed him toward the gathering point under the giant sign in the distance.


    Dozens of talented people had already converged there, their physical features slightly different, obviously coming from different planets within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°It seems there¡¯s not a single member of the Alien Race.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace Inquiry swept over.


    There wasn¡¯t a single alert of ¡®kill to obtain Spiritual Nature.¡¯


    Going anywhere and seeing any stranger, making a Divine Palace Inquiry had become Li Yuan¡¯s habit.


    ¡°But most of them are Martial Artists, and even a few are Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, it¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know about the skill levels.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The nearly one hundred gathered talents from various major planets were clearly of varying ages, and naturally, their true strengths differed.


    However, in the eyes of the alliance¡¯s higher-ups, anyone below 30 made no difference, all considered ¡®young people.¡¯


    ¡°More people are coming.¡±


    ¡°12 people, that¡¯s a lot.¡±


    ¡°Only fewer than Feixing and Tianhai Star, probably from Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Definitely from Blue Star; haven¡¯t you seen the one in the lead? That¡¯s Li Yuan, he¡¯s actually quite handsome, better-looking than he is in video images.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s Li Yuan? Doesn¡¯t look too special; before I came here, my teacher kept saying he was most likely going to become the numero uno of our Martial Divine Hall¡¯s generation.¡± The talented individuals from planets like Yinghuo Star, Feixing, and Tianhai Star all watched as Li Yuan and his team approached, discussing among themselves.


    Clearly, Li Yuan was the most well-known.


    ¡°Tsk, Li Yuan, you really are famous.¡± Dantai Feng whispered, his eyes full of envy: ¡°You¡¯ve taken all the glory.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Dantai, if you can make it through the seventh level of The Battle of Seven Stars, you will become famous too,¡± Tian Dazhuang teased.


    ¡°Get lost, you¡¯re mocking me for not being qualified to participate, aren¡¯t you?¡± Dantai Feng glared.


    The two of them were good friends and used to teasing each other.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s fame is indeed much greater than ours,¡± Jin Huguo said with a smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s normal; he is simply not on the same level as us,¡± Nevsky said calmly, the towering young man from Ross Country.


    ...


    Among this group, the one who was really annoyed was Bores. He originally thought that he would be the strongest member of the team, and if not adored, at least he should be taken seriously¡­ however, he found that no one paid him any attention at all.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on Li Yuan.


    Alicia¡¯s gaze towards Li Yuan was unabashed.


    ¡°Wait and see.¡±


    ¡°In the end, it¡¯s all about strength,¡± Bores thought to himself. ¡°With my strength, I have every hope of making it through Sixth Mountain¡­ A long time in practice is my advantage.¡±


    ¡°Next, I¡¯ll spend another twenty years in the Martial Divine Hall to solidify my foundation.¡±


    ¡°In the future, I totally have the hope of becoming a Flying Heaven Peak warrior.¡±


    Being selected at the age of 28, Bores was still quite exceptional in terms of strength and talent.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen.¡±


    Several Prime Warriors responsible for guiding were quite polite, ¡°Please wait here patiently. Once the talents from the Seven Great Planets gather, the Mountain Lord of Seven Star Mountain will come over.¡±


    Everyone from Blue Star stood here, waiting patiently.


    ¡°Captain!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, captain, Alicia.¡± Suddenly, three people emerged from the crowd, greeting Li Yuan excitedly.


    ¡°Si Feng, Kross, Xiong Ze.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile; they were comrades from World within Worlds.


    They hadn¡¯t seen each other for several months, and each of them had improved to a certain degree in Life Level.


    ¡°Captain, we finally see you again,¡± Si Feng, Kross, and Xiong Ze were all very excited.


    It¡¯s human nature to instinctively band together with others from the same region in unfamiliar environments.


    But, quite obviously,


    In the eyes of Si Feng and the others, compared to other Martial Path talents from the same planet, Li Yuan was more worthy of their trust and respect.


    This scene also caused nearly a hundred of the other planet¡¯s talents to mutter to themselves.


    As the top talents of their respective planets, most were proud.


    Being so publicly subservient as ¡®subordinates¡¯ was rare and enough to attest to the terrifying aspect of Li Yuan.


    In a very short time, the talents from the Seven Stars had all thoroughly committed Li Yuan to memory.


    ¡­


    The Seven Star Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.


    After bringing Li Yuan and the others here, Fang Hai thought and twisted the surrounding light, quietly arriving at Seven Star Mountain¡­ His eyes were casual, familiar with everything around him.


    Decades ago, he had also practiced here for many years.


    There were many halls on Seven Star Mountain, with flying saucer-shaped vessels parked in front of many halls¡­ These halls were the residences of the members of Seven Star Mountain.


    Only the hall at the highest point was off-limits to Mountain members¡­ It was the abode of the Mountain Lord.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai leisurely arrived in front of the vast hall. At this moment, six figures were already gathered on the small plaza.


    ¡°Fang Hai Star Master.¡±


    ¡°Blue Star¡¯s escort this time is actually Star Master Fang.¡± The six figures, each with a strong and vigorous presence, were all formidable Flying Heaven warriors. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Standing there casually, they seemed to blend into the world, clearly with a high level of skill and understanding.


    But they were all quite respectful in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Duanmu?¡± Fang Hai asked directly.


    ¡°Mountain Lord Duanmu hasn¡¯t come out yet,¡± a white-clad Flying Heaven Warrior replied respectfully, ¡°We are still waiting for him.¡±


    ¡°Stop putting on airs,¡± Fang Hai shook his head and then said in a deep voice, ¡°Duanmu!¡±


    ¡°Duanmu! Duanmu! Duanmu!¡± His voice contained astonishing Penetrative Power, echoing within hundreds of meters of the void and subtly penetrating the distant palaces.


    But it did not spread any further.


    This terrifying control shocked the six powerful Flying Heaven warriors standing beside him.


    No wonder he was ranked among the top three super-existences among the many Flying Heaven Star Lords.


    A few seconds later.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The sealed hall doors opened suddenly, and a white-clad figure flashed out. He appeared to be in his thirties, his white clothes quite dashing.


    He arrived in front of Fang Hai, and the white-clad young man said with a hint of helplessness, ¡°Old Fang, can you be a bit quieter? You woke me up.¡±


    ¡°You certainly have a leisurely time as a Mountain Lord, letting us all accompany you in sleeping?¡± Fang Hai said with a smirk.


    The two chatted quite casually, but the six surrounding Flying Heaven Warriors became even more respectful.


    Clearly, the white-clad young man and Fang Hai were on the same level of stature.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. I have confirmed receipt through the virtual network, you may go back,¡± the white-clad young man said sternly, his gaze sweeping across the six individuals.


    ¡°Thank you, Duanmu Star Master,¡± the six Flying Heaven warriors turned into streaks of light and quickly retreated.


    In a very short time,


    Only Fang Hai and the white-clad young man were left.


    ¡°Old Fang, why did you personally come for this escort mission? Are you that idle?¡± the white-clad young man smiled again.


    ¡°I am here by the command of the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch?¡± The white-clad young man was surprised and faintly realized, ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    He, Duanmu Hong.


    As one of the few Flying Heaven Star Masters of the Alliance and serving as the Star Mountain Master, in charge of overseeing the cultivation of talents in the Martial Divine Hall¡­ Naturally, he was aware of all the information about the newly arrived talents.


    And among the hundreds of talents who had arrived this year, the most dazzling and special was Li Yuan.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Fang Hai nodded slightly. ¡°There are some things that are classified, and I can¡¯t talk to you about them¡­ You just need to know he is very important, and you must protect him well.¡±


    ¡°Classified?¡± Duanmu Hong was shocked inside.

 Chapter 416 - 264: Duanmu Mountain Master! Martial God Inheritance (Extra 3 & 4)_3

    Chapter 416: Chapter 264: Duanmu Mountain Master! Martial God Inheritance (Extra 3 & 4)_3


    Given his high status within the alliance, which borders on that of a demigod, and the kind he is¡ªextremely trusted¡­ it¡¯s all still a secret, you can imagine how important it is.


    He realized that this Li Yuan must be quite special and have big secrets.


    ¡°Divine Child Level genius?¡± Duanmu Hong couldn¡¯t help but say.


    In many civilizations, any Divine Child Level genius is destined to become a demigod.


    The Seven Star Civilization has very few geniuses of the Divine Child Level.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask too much, nor should you pry into his secrets. This is the master¡¯s command. In the future, you will naturally understand,¡± said Fang Hai with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m just reminding you to protect him well.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Some things will naturally be handled by others,¡± Fang Hai continued. ¡°But also, don¡¯t be too deliberate in taking care of Li Yuan; it¡¯s not good for his growth.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Duanmu Hong became serious, now clear about Fang Hai¡¯s intentions.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be going now. I¡¯ll catch up with you again on my next visit to Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said and drifted away.


    Fang Hai was now quite relaxed.


    Because the hottest potato had finally been tossed out, he no longer needed to shoulder the responsibility.


    ¡­


    ¡°Big trouble, even the Alliance Hierarch is treating it so seriously.¡± Duanmu Hong muttered to himself, ¡°But the Martial Divine Star Realm is just an ultra-small Third-Level Star Realm¡­ Demigods can¡¯t kill their way in, and the likelihood of assassination by Alien Races is extremely small.¡±


    The entire Martial Divine Hall and the Seven Star Mountain are built within a completely closed small Third-Level Star Realm.


    Ensuring Alien Demigods cannot assassinate anyone.


    The only main entrance is guarded by a demigod, and there are numerous defense measures within the Star Realm; even demigods would feel a chill at the prospect.


    Additionally, there are 36 levels of Flying Heaven Warriors stationed in the realm, making it as secure as a fortress of metal.


    Everything is to ensure that the younger generation of the entire civilization can grow up safely.


    ¡°As long as he can be safely protected and grow up, that will be a meritorious deed,¡± Duanmu Hong showed a smile: ¡°If he truly grows into a demigod in the future and sees me, he¡¯ll have to regard me as half his master.¡±


    As the Star Mountain Master of the Seven Star Mountain, as long as one could serve for decades, the potential network of connections in the future would be quite formidable.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, Si Feng, Alicia, and over a hundred other geniuses from various planets have been patiently waiting.


    Occasionally.


    They would see flying vessels launching from the super-large villas on the ground, shuttling through the clouds¡­ The vessels carried members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Suddenly.


    A terrifying aura swept over from the clouds, making even Li Yuan¡¯s heart tremble, not to mention the others.


    The weakest in strength, such as Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, turned pale in an instant.


    Then, everyone saw clearly that a young man in white had appeared in the sky in front of them at some unknown time.


    He stood on the void, his gaze sharp, and his invisible aura alone oppressed everyone present.


    Flying Heaven Warrior!


    And definitely a very terrifying Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Mountain Lord,¡± more than ten Prime Warriors on duty respectfully saluted. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Mountain Lord?


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and the rest instantly understood the man¡¯s identity¡ªthe overseer of the entire Martial Divine Star Realm.


    And also their direct superior for the coming years of cultivation.


    ¡°First of all, welcome to Martial Divine Mountain. I am the current Star Mountain Master of the Seven Star Mountain, Duanmu Hong.¡± Duanmu Hong¡¯s voice was ethereal yet clearly heard by everyone, ¡°You may address me as Mountain Lord, Duanmu Mountain Master.¡±


    ¡°For the next ten, twenty years, or even longer, you will all be members of the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°So, listen carefully to what I¡¯m about to say,¡± Duanmu Hong looked over each person.


    All was quiet.


    ¡°First, training in the Martial Divine Hall is divided into two parts, Martial God Inheritance and Points rewards,¡± Duanmu Hong said, ¡°Martial God Inheritance is determined by your level of inheritance. In your batch, for now, only Li Yuan, Chu Chen, and Bertman are Second Class Inheritors.¡±


    ¡°The rest of you are Third Class Inheritors.¡±


    SCH! SCH! SCH! The others couldn¡¯t help but turn their gaze towards the three, most looking at Li Yuan.


    People like Chu Chen and Bertman, many did not even know who they were, but Li Yuan was recognizable to anyone.


    ¡°Seven Star Mountain members can also be Third Class Inheritors.¡±


    ¡°But the weakest amongst them might also be Second Class Inheritors.¡±


    ¡°As for the specific differences, enter the virtual network ¡®Seven Star Mountain Space¡¯ to find out for yourselves,¡± Duanmu Hong said indifferently. ¡°As for Points rewards, that is, Seven Stars Points, it¡¯s determined by real strength.¡±


    ¡°All Martial Divine Hall members are divided into three ranks based on strength: Seven Star Mountain members, elite members, and ordinary members.¡±


    ¡°Those who overcome the seven major checkpoints will become Seven Star Mountain members, receiving an annual reward of 400 Seven Stars Points afterwards.¡±


    ¡°Those who overcome five checkpoints will be elite members, receiving an annual reward of 200 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°The rest are ordinary members, with an annual reward of 100 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the above are just the basic rewards. The alliance will also issue many war missions. If you participate in battles and earn merits, you can obtain Points rewards as well.¡± Duanmu Hong spoke softly: ¡°For example, among you, Li Yuan, Alicia, Si Feng and others have recently made great contributions in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, and have all received quite a few Seven Stars Points.¡±


    People looked again towards Li Yuan, Alicia and the others.


    ¡°Specific cultivation guidance on Seven Star Mountain will be detailed on the virtual network.¡±


    ¡°In half a month¡¯s time, you will face your first Battle of Seven Stars, which will also decide the amount of Seven Stars Points rewards for the next year,¡± Duanmu Hong stated calmly: ¡°Prepare well.¡±


    ¡°Lastly.¡±


    ¡°I hope you understand, for the Flying Heaven Warriors in the civilization, earning even a single Seven Stars Point involves staking their lives, while you are all given a generous amount. This is because the entire civilization has high hopes for you,¡± Duanmu Hong said softly: ¡°With your talents, becoming Flying Heaven Warriors is not difficult¡­ But the civilization¡¯s expectation for you is to become peak Flying Heaven powerhouses, and even demigods.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Even¡­ divine beings.¡±


    ¡°Foreign Civilizations are constantly spying on us, and the war between civilizations has never ceased, only by giving birth to divine beings can our Seven Star Civilization truly be stable.¡±


    ¡­


    After a brief explanation, Duanmu Hong left.


    Soon after, more than ten Prime Warrior supervisors led many First Rank Martial Artists, taking Li Yuan and the others to villas and mansions that had been prepared in advance.


    ...


    There were thousands of members in the Martial Divine Hall, but only a few could reside in Seven Star Mountain.


    Elite members and ordinary members all lived in villas on the surface.


    All the villas were constructed around the majestic Martial Divine Hall. If viewed from the sky, the dense cluster of buildings and streets resembled a giant Bagua Diagram.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s just arrived at the Martial Divine Hall, so get familiar with the place first,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Once everyone¡¯s settled down, we¡¯ll have time to gather.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°The Battle of Seven Stars is in half a month. Even if we can¡¯t get through the five stages, we should at least pass the First Layer and not embarrass ourselves too much,¡± Jin Huguo, Si Feng, and others all laughed.


    Everyone dispersed.


    ¡­


    ¡°Look, the entire villa isn¡¯t very large on the surface; it¡¯s just for daily rest,¡± said the accompanying Prime Warrior, personally introducing it to Li Yuan. ¡°But outside the surface villa, there¡¯s a martial arts field with a radius of five hundred meters.¡±


    ¡°Beneath the villa, there¡¯s an underground Martial Arts Room measuring six hundred meters in length and width, with a height of over fifty meters,¡± the Prime Warrior explained.


    ¡°Such a large underground Martial Arts Room?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    That¡¯s huge.


    ¡°It¡¯s not considered large,¡± the Prime Warrior supervisor laughed. ¡°It was specifically built by Flying Heaven Warriors. After all, talents like you, when researching True Intent Techniques or sparring with other strong opponents, have terrifying power.¡±


    ¡°If the Martial Arts Room isn¡¯t large enough or sturdy enough, it would be quickly destroyed.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    Indeed, back at Kunlun Martial University, when he and Li Yang sparred in the Martial Arts Room, they dared not unleash Star Techniques and Origin Power¡­ If unleashed, the Martial Arts Room would likely collapse.


    ¡°Also, your food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation will all be assisted by high-end intelligent robots,¡± the Prime Warrior said with a smile. ¡°Under normal circumstances, we assistant warriors won¡¯t enter your mansion.¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback. ¡°Why is that?¡±


    ¡°To prevent assassination.¡±


    ¡°You never know who might have been secretly influenced,¡± the Prime Warrior said with a laugh. ¡°Therefore, many tasks are handled by robots. When inviting companions over to your mansion in the future, you should also be cautious¡­ Like your entire villa, it¡¯s protected by a high-level Defense system. If it detects an enemy invasion, the intelligent system will instantly activate the defense mechanism, making it impossible for even ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors to break through in a short time.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization really went to great lengths to protect this group of elite talents within the civilization.


    ¡­


    After becoming acquainted with many aspects of the Martial Divine Hall, Li Yuan entered his villa.


    He glanced at the villa number¡ª2044001.


    ¡°2044, number 1?¡± Li Yuan smiled, quickly binding his various biometric indicators and spiritual imprint to the villa¡¯s intelligent defense system.


    ¡°Xiao Yu.¡±


    ¡°Activate closed-door training mode,¡± Li Yuan said loudly, straight into the villa.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    In the vast and spacious living room.


    ¡°Martial God Inheritance.¡± There was a glint of anticipation in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Whether or not I become a member of Seven Star Mountain doesn¡¯t make much difference to me, as I am not lacking Seven Stars Points in the short term.¡±


    ¡°But what exactly is this Martial God Inheritance?¡±


    ¡°Could it really be a Divine Legacy?¡± Li Yuan logged into the virtual network and entered the Martial Divine Hall space.


    He began browsing the ¡®Martial Divine Hall Member Handbook.¡¯

 Chapter 418 - 265: Mark of the God (Extra 5! Votes for the month!!)

    Chapter 418: Chapter 265: Mark of the God (Extra 5! Votes for the month!!)


    Duanmu Mountain Master was very brief, only giving the many new members of the Martial Divine Hall a concept.


    The actual cultivation details of the Martial Divine Hall were all in the manual.


    ¡°So, each member of the Martial Divine Hall can only cultivate here until they are 50 years old?¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°Must they leave the Martial Divine Hall if they have not broken through to the Flying Heaven Level by the age of 50?¡±


    If any of the following conditions are met, they must leave the Martial Divine Hall.


    First, break through to become a Flying Heaven Level.


    Second, exceed the age of 50.


    ...


    It was also regulated to prevent certain members of Seven Star Mountain from deliberately staying at the Origin Martial Artist stage to receive Seven Stars Points.


    Each member of the Martial Divine Hall can receive up to 6000 Seven Stars Points for free in their lifetime.


    More Seven Stars Points? No more!


    After all, the resources of the entire Seven Star Civilization are limited; it is impossible to pour unlimited resources into one genius.


    Want more? Then rely on your own efforts to complete various war missions, or venture into the Star Realm to obtain them.


    ¡°No wonder the higher-ups don¡¯t care about the age of the Martial Divine Hall members, but let everyone compete together.¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°For the younger ones, like Tian Dazhuang, a few more years of tempering, and with improved Physical Quality, they can still grow.¡±


    ¡°For the older ones, like Bores, who came in at an older age, will leave sooner.¡±


    ¡°In any case, one can only receive up to 6000 Seven Stars Points in their lifetime.¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Perhaps, in the eyes of the higher-ups, a Flying Heaven Martial Artist has a lifespan of 500 years, and a Demigod has an even longer lifespan of 1000 years.


    What¡¯s the difference between a year earlier or later?


    The so-called prime age for cultivation is more for First Rank Martial Artists and ordinary Origin Martial Artists, because their chances of reaching the Flying Heaven Warrior are very slim, so naturally they have to cultivate with all their might while young.


    Secondly, the reward limit of 6000 points is not small either, enough to buy a Semi Divine Artifact in the Seven Stars Treasure Vault.


    The reward targets, after all, are just the Origin Martial Artist youngsters.


    ¡°Looking at it this way, the Visualization Method bestowed to me by the dean is indeed incredibly valuable, directly rewarding me with 30,000 points, and according to the dean, it¡¯s only equivalent to a down payment? The true value is far beyond that?¡± Li Yuan murmured: ¡°The Seven Stars Points rewards from the Martial Divine Hall indeed don¡¯t mean much to me.¡±


    Even as a member of Seven Star Mountain, one could only get 400 Seven Stars Points per year.


    How about Li Yuan? He still has more than 30,000 points now.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan thought of how he had recently spent a few thousand Seven Stars Points to purchase two Fourth Rank treasures, shaking his head: ¡°Aside from me, probably very few Origin Martial Artists would do such a thing.¡±


    Using Fourth Rank treasures to enhance Physical Quality and the liveliness of one¡¯s body and bones? That¡¯s too extravagant.


    Even the geniuses of the Martial Divine Hall mostly purchase Third Rank treasures that enhance Physical Quality, combined with Cultivation Methods, striving to reach the level of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist within a few years.


    They wouldn¡¯t be so extravagant as Li Yuan.


    It can¡¯t be helped, Li Yuan has a lot of Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Seven Stars Points are distributed annually according to strength.¡± Li Yuan read through the manual, thinking: ¡°But the levels of Martial God Inheritance are promoted based on a comprehensive assessment of potential.¡±


    Third Class, Second Class, First Rank, Special Rank, there are no very clear promotion rules.


    The manual only states that it will take into account many aspects, such as the current demonstrated strength, age, Star Meridian talent, and skill level of each member of the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°And Dean Hai has said.¡±


    ¡°A normal First Rank Martial God Inheritor must achieve the feat of killing an Alien Race of Flying Heaven Level across ranks to be promoted.¡± Li Yuan silently recited: ¡°I have already revealed astonishing Star Meridian talent¡­ If during The Battle of Seven Stars, I can demonstrate overwhelming strength again.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, I could be promoted to a First Rank Martial God Inheritor ahead of time.¡± Li Yuan thought.


    The stronger the demonstrated strength, the more attention one naturally receives, and the more benefits one gets.


    The manual¡¯s content about Martial God Inheritors also made some clarifications about the benefits for Third Class, Second Class, and First Rank:


    Third Class Martial God Inheritors can accept ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ once every five years.


    Second Class, once every two years.


    First Rank, once a year.


    As for Special Rank? There is no clear explanation of what the benefits are, only that they will be far greater than those of a First Rank Martial God Inheritor.


    Moreover, the manual does not clearly state what ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ actually is.


    ¡°When I enter the Martial Divine Hall, and receive the inheritance, I will naturally understand.¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Suddenly.


    Drip~ The intelligent bracelet vibrated, and Li Yuan immediately looked down and clicked to agree. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whirr~ A light screen projection condensed, and the projection showed a figure.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    The one who made the V-call was none other than Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I know you arrived at the Martial Divine Star Realm today.¡± Yu Jinghe smiled: ¡°Tavares even asked me if we should go welcome you, but I rejected him.¡±


    ¡°I figured you must be under enough pressure already, so I didn¡¯t want to add to your troubles.¡± Yu Jinghe smiled: ¡°After half a month, when your Battle of Seven Stars is over, Wu Manong, Tavares, and I will come to your residence to gather.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan readily agreed, as all of these individuals were members of Seven Star Mountain.


    They are all top geniuses of human civilization; making friends with them is a good thing.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, are all of you currently in the Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°A few of us are in concealed cultivation on Seven Star Mountain, but An Yongya is not here; he has gone to the Mingxu Star Realm on Blue Star.¡± Yu Jinghe said: ¡°A terrible war has broken out there¡­ Maybe in a while, we will have to go support.¡±


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Liu Jing sent him a message, and now a war had already erupted?


    However, Li Yuan didn¡¯t ask Yu Jinghe further.


    ¡°I contacted you to remind you of two things.¡± Yu Jinghe said: ¡°First, give it your all in the Battle of Seven Stars, at least strive to break through the fifth barrier.¡±


    ¡°Becoming an elite member isn¡¯t just about getting more Seven Stars Points every year, there are many invisible benefits that also increase significantly,¡± Yu Jinghe said. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s not much to you, but a mosquito¡¯s meat is still meat.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°The second matter is about the Martial God Inheritance,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile. ¡°You haven¡¯t received it before, and the first contact has the best effect¡­ I suggest you take it as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you for the reminder, Big Brother Yu.¡±


    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yuan ended the communication with Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu is quite concerned about me, even going out of his way to contact me,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Well, Big Brother Yu has spent over a decade in the Martial Divine Star Realm; he has much more experience than I do. I¡¯ll follow his advice.¡±


    ¡°Apply for the Martial God Inheritance tomorrow.¡±


    Just as Li Yuan tapped on the light screen and was about to apply, he realized¡­ he needed to queue.


    ¡°The earliest I can apply is in three days?¡± Li Yuan shook his head in resignation and clicked to agree.


    Three days it is. I can wait.


    ¡°There¡¯s still half a month left.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s make an effort to cultivate the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ to the limit of the Second Order Level 5,¡± Li Yuan said with a grin.


    ¡­


    The underground Martial Arts Room was immensely vast, like daylight, and this super-large underground space left Li Yuan quite impressed.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough for top-grade Prime Warriors to fight at full strength,¡± Li Yuan marveled to himself.


    Though a top-grade Prime Warrior could traverse two to three hundred meters in a flash.


    But merely for actual combat training, or for sparring among Martial Artists, such vast space isn¡¯t necessary.


    Just as an ordinary person can reach a speed of 10 meters per second at full power, when two people are sparring, the arena is usually just ten meters in length.


    Sitting cross-legged on the cool ground.


    ¡°Star Marks!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, surging Origin Power circulated as he continued trying to imprint more Star Marks on the numerous Life Stars of his second Star Meridian.


    Second Order Star Marks are much more complex than First Order, naturally making them more difficult to imprint.


    In this past half-month, Li Yuan had been diligently cultivating the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body,¡¯ but he had only managed to reach the Fourth Level of the Second Order; he was still far from the final limit of the Second Order Level 5.


    This rate of cultivation, if it were to be known, could surely cause a sensation.


    After all, many Second Order Prime Warriors take years to barely step into the Second Order level while cultivating a Third Layer or Fourth Layer Star Technique, let alone reach the Second Order Limit.


    ¡­


    Time passed by.


    As Li Yuan was still cultivating Star Techniques, preparing wholeheartedly for the upcoming Battle of Seven Stars.


    On the second day after their arrival in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°What great secret does it contain? There are no explanations even in the manual,¡± Alicia had already reached the entrance to the Martial Divine Hall.


    After greeting the two guards and inquiring about some precautions regarding the Martial Divine Hall,


    Alicia then entered the majestic hall.


    She was the first among hundreds of new members of this batch to apply for the Martial God Inheritance.


    Alicia always wanted to know what the Martial God Inheritance truly was.


    Boom¡ª The great hall¡¯s doors shut closed.


    ¡­Half an hour later.


    Boom¡ª The grand hall doors opened, and Alicia flew out with a shocked and satisfied expression on her face.


    ¡°Incredible,¡± Alicia thought back to her recent experience, feeling astonished. ¡°Such a short time, yet it gave me a glimpse of the path ahead?¡±


    ¡°So precious, and they let me come into contact with it directly?¡±


    The Martial God Inheritance completely exceeded her understanding.


    ¡°Alicia, that¡¯s insane! Absolutely insane!¡± a childish voice resonated in her mind, quite agitated, ¡°Those are divine Marks, containing the cultivation insights of a divine soul, to think it has appeared in the world like this¡­ With so many divine Marks, I now really doubt that someone named Dongfang Ji hasn¡¯t stumbled upon a burial ground of numerous divine souls.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, how could he, a mere Demigod, even an unbeatable one, get hold of so many divine Marks? I don¡¯t believe it,¡± the childish voice said excitedly.


    ¡°You must strive to enter again, and naturally, your gains will be even greater next time,¡± urged the childish voice, quite eager.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°I only have a Third Class Martial God Inheritance opportunity, once every five years,¡± Alicia responded. ¡°For now, I¡¯ll head back, fully digest the insights from these divine Marks, and strive to improve my strength as soon as possible, aiming to upgrade to a Second Class Inheritors of the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡­


    Feixing, hundreds of kilometers from the entry and exit point of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    A mysterious location.


    In the vast expanse of Dark Space, a vague figure sat cross-legged, motionless, as if eternal.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master,¡± a deep voice spoke up. ¡°An unexpected situation arose at the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°Tell me,¡± the vague figure¡¯s eyes slowly opened, revealing depths profound and vast.


    ¡°I¡¯ve detected a divine soul¡¯s thoughts attaching to a member of the Martial Divine Hall; just now, it attempted to infiltrate all parts of the temple, seeking to uncover the secrets of the divine hall,¡± the deep voice reported.

 Chapter 419 - 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jings Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 419: Chapter 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jing¡¯s Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    In a mysterious place.


    ¡°A god-level remnant soul¡¯s thought?¡± the blurred figure whispered, ¡°What¡¯s the name of that member of the Martial Divine Hall?¡±


    ¡°Alicia,¡± the deep voice answered, ¡°from Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Can you sense what race the god-level remnant soul belongs to?¡± the blurred figure slowly said, ¡°Is it from beyond this domain, or from within? In what form has it survived?¡±


    ¡°It should be from beyond this domain; it lacks the aura of its original essence,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°I can¡¯t sense anything else clearly, as it¡¯s extremely careful, always lurking deep within Alicia¡¯s spiritual world, only revealing a hint of secret technique in response to Alicia¡¯s spiritual fluctuations¡­ If the Martial Divine Hall were just an ordinary divine artifact, it would definitely not detect it.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s not worry about it for now.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Add Alicia to the observation list, and if that remnant soul shows any inclination to possess her, eliminate her immediately,¡± the blurred figure ordered, ¡°Additionally, secretly initiate a mental communication with Alicia to observe her reactions, to see if the remnant soul¡¯s intention is reincarnation, possession, or restoration of its physical body.¡± S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    ¡°How is the secret observation of Li Yuan going?¡± the blurred figure queried, its voice ethereal.


    ¡°His past deeds are confirmed,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°Since he moved into the villa, I have been subtly sensing through the defensive Origin Power Array¡­ I¡¯ve confirmed he hasn¡¯t been possessed, and the aura of his soul¡¯s plane of origin is correct.¡±


    ¡°His spiritual will is strong¡­ There are no signs of alien race control for now.¡±


    ¡°However, the Visualization Method he cultivates seems quite special; it could well be a second-class Visualization Method,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°I speculate that there are still secrets hidden in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, but he seems unwilling to disclose them.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to delve deeper.¡±


    ¡°Everyone has their own selfish desires and secrets.¡±


    ¡°Just confirm that his allegiance is to our Seven Star Civilization,¡± the blurred figure said, ¡°As for his training, follow my previous instructions.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Also, Master, the ¡®North Moon Deity¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Star Realm wants to complete the transaction we abandoned last time and has asked me about it,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°What should we do?¡±


    ¡°Tell him,¡±


    ¡°the transaction is possible, but the price compared to last time is increased by thirty percent, and if they don¡¯t agree this time, it will be increased by fifty percent next time,¡± the blurred figure said indifferently, ¡°You may leave now.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Strands of golden light bloomed, faintly warping the space, making the figure even more elusive and vague, as if existing in another spatial plane.


    ¡­


    Alicia¡¯s gains were unclear to Li Yuan.


    He continued his cultivation methodically.


    Upon arriving in the Martial Divine Star Realm, unlike Dantai Feng and Yin Man, who might have been excited for a while, Li Yuan was used to the days of cultivation; it was simply practicing with his spear in a different place.


    Just like in his younger years, even when his family was celebrating the New Year, Li Yuan could still be found practicing alone in his room, finding joy in it.


    Martial Arts Cultivation is destined to be lonely.


    Many strong individuals may cultivate diligently to achieve a certain goal in their hearts, for revenge, for wealth, and so on, and they believe in their bones that cultivation is incredibly arduous.


    But Li Yuan was different.


    At the beginning of wielding the spear, he longed to change the fate of his family, to ensure his uncle and aunt¡¯s efforts were not in vain¡­ However, by today, many of the goals he had were already achieved.


    The lives of his family and their destiny had already been completely changed.


    Yet Li Yuan could still immerse himself in cultivation wholeheartedly because¡ªhe enjoyed this solitude.


    Is practicing with the spear arduous? Is cultivation arduous? Li Yuan thought these ideas were fallacies¡ªhe felt nothing but absolute comfort.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yu, has the combat robot been delivered?¡± Li Yuan suddenly spoke.


    ¡°It was delivered two hours ago; I¡¯ve already arranged for it to stay in the ¡®charging room¡¯,¡± the auxiliary intelligence¡¯s voice responded, ¡°Do you wish to activate it, Master?¡±


    ¡°Activate it!¡±


    ¡­


    In the vast Martial Arts Room, two figures were engaged in intense combat.


    ¡°Fierce! Stellar Burst, this move should be extremely rapid,¡± Li Yuan wielded the Black Chen Spear, infusing it with Origin Power, endowing the Semi Divine Artifact with terrifying might.


    With every thrust, it burst with the force of exploding stars.


    The power of each thrust was stronger than the last, violently challenging the other figure clad in black armor, wielding dual shields.


    The figure in black armor maneuvered the shields fluidly, with incredible resilience, continuously warding off Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique.


    ¡°Still not fast enough.¡±


    ¡°If only considering the might of the Spear Technique, my second True Intent Killing Move ¡®Stellar Burst¡¯ is immensely powerful, almost the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But no matter how strong the attack¡¯s might is, if the speed is not fast enough, it cannot be fully effective.¡±


    The first True Intent Killing Move ¡®Galaxy Flow Spin¡¯ is a defensive technique, emphasizing an unending continuity.


    The second True Intent Killing Move ¡®Stellar Burst¡¯ is a pure offensive technique, like a tiger pouncing down the mountain, overwhelming the opponent with absolute force.


    But shortly after perfecting this killing move,


    through continuous insight and deduction, Li Yuan realized the issue at hand¡ªthe Spear Technique was indeed fierce but not fast enough¡­ so as long as the enemy could block it head-on, it would be hard to overcome them.


    ¡°Speed.¡±


    ¡°I need to make my Spear Technique faster and more unpredictable, not only with enough frightful power, but it must leave the enemy unable to trace it at all,¡± Li Yuan thought as he fought the figure in black armor, sensing the mysterious fluctuations of the universe through the Long Spear.


    He strived to make his Spear Technique faster and more intricate.


    The strongest, the fastest¡ªthat¡¯s what could be called unbeatable Spear Technique.


    It was also what Li Yuan had always pursued with his third True Intent Killing Move, but he had not yet perfected it.


    ¡°Boom! Boom!¡± The black-armored figure fighting Li Yuan was like an indestructible cockroach.


    Even if it occasionally couldn¡¯t withstand the Long Spear¡¯s fierce strikes and was forced to retreat, it would come back unharmed after Unloading Force, ready to fight again.

    Chapter 420: Chapter 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jing¡¯s Bet (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_2


    ¡°Number Four, that¡¯s enough for today,¡± Li Yuan suddenly spoke up.


    Following that, Li Yuan¡¯s figure abruptly retreated.


    The figure in black armor appeared startled for a moment, then bowed slightly and quickly disappeared into the corridor.


    ¡°These combat robots are really impressive,¡± Li Yuan watched as the other party left, and reflected to himself, ¡°They can perfectly unleash the strength of a top grade Origin Martial Artist, and in terms of vitality alone, I¡¯m afraid even top grade Origin Martial Artists might not keep up.¡±


    And they can execute many profound techniques on command.


    While the efficiency of combat is not as high as with real top grade Origin Martial Artists in actual combat training¡­ the advantage is that they are available anytime and anywhere.


    ...


    After all, not even the members of the Martial Divine Hall could afford the luxury of being individually paired with a top grade Origin Martial Artist for sparring in actual combat.


    ¡°Compared to it, the three golden-armored figures in the Hall of Inheritance are even more powerful and agile,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I wonder how such high-grade robots are made, and why aren¡¯t they more widespread?¡±


    If robots with strength comparable to level 28 Origin Martial Artists could be mass produced, then the Seven Star Civilization would likely be able to quickly turn the tide in the many battlefields of the Star Realms.


    Unfortunately,


    except for in the Martial Divine Star Realm, Li Yuan had never seen such powerful robots anywhere else.

    ¡°Master, this is the free cultivation resources provided by the Martial Divine Hall for the following month,¡± a support robot named ¡®Number Five¡¯ by Li Yuan, came down the corridor to the Martial Arts Room, delivering a huge box to Li Yuan.


    At a glance, the box seemed to be half a cubic meter in size.


    All these support robots were humanoid, and their level of intelligence was extremely high, but they did not use biometric technology for their exteriors.


    ¡°Free cultivation resources?¡± Li Yuan reached out to take it, swiftly confirming the triple password, and the box opened.


    Inside were various crystal clear jade bottles, filled with many kinds of liquids.


    ¡°These are all primarily Second Rank treasures, with a few Third Rank treasures forming the Spiritual Liquid,¡± Li Yuan, whose standard had also reached quite a height and had read the introductions in the manual, quickly recognized, ¡°They assist in enhancing Physical Quality and are Spirit Nurturing Elixirs.¡±


    These resources were provided to every Martial Divine Hall member on a monthly basis.


    If the monthly expense were converted into Blue Star Coins, it would be about 100 million Blue Star Coins, all provided directly.


    ¡°Using these auxiliary cultivation resources, although far from Third Rank treasures, let alone Fourth Rank¡­ they are sufficient to continually escalate the Physical Quality and spiritual power of any Martial Divine Hall member,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The free supply of these resources alone amounted to a staggering number when multiplied by the number of members each year.


    ¡°Number Five, you may go back,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°Have the staff of the Martial Divine Hall convert it all into Blue Star Coins for me.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    To Li Yuan, these auxiliary cultivation resources were of no significance. With normal cultivation, he would reach level 29 in a few months¡­ To progress further and become level 30 was not something that external treasures alone could achieve.


    Moreover, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t planning on trying to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the short term; he was still determined to awaken the Seven Star Veins and possibly even the Eight Star Veins during his time as an Origin Martial Artist.


    For Li Yuan, the stage of Origin Martial Artist was the most crucial phase for establishing a foundation.


    ¡­


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the Pillar of Spirit here would still have some effect in honing me,¡± Li Yuan, in addition to his cultivation, also took time to visit a separate temple not far from the Martial Divine Hall.


    Inside the temple, a massive Pillar of Spirit was placed.


    It was similar to the one at Kunlun Martial University.


    It constantly emitted spiritual pressure to hone the spirits and wills of Martial Artists.


    Even someone as mentally strong as Li Yuan could feel the pressure, clearly indicating that the Pillar of Spirit in the Martial Divine Star Realm was much more advanced.


    Similarly, there were many Martial Divine Hall members practicing here, with dozens present at the moment, many of whom were new members.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is here,¡± many people noted Li Yuan¡¯s presence. Figures like Nevsky and Dantai Feng were also there practicing, and they just thought of getting up to greet him.


    ¡°No need,¡± Li Yuan directly communicated via telepathy, urging them to continue their cultivation in peace.


    ¡°Is that Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°They say he¡¯s only 19, but when I sense his life force, why does it seem so strong? Doesn¡¯t seem much weaker than us.¡±


    ¡°With The Battle of Seven Stars twelve days away, how far can he make it?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say.¡±


    ¡°I reckon he¡¯ll get through the fourth challenge, at most. After all, he¡¯s still so young. Even if his Physical Quality is impressive, his skills are probably not yet at the Fifth Stage High Rank,¡± some of the more veteran members also noticed Li Yuan.


    Judging just by Physical Quality, most of these veteran members were level 29.


    Though part of Martial Divine Mountain, most had heard of Li Yuan.


    Just as Li Yuan was about to leave.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± A voice with a hint of mirth came from behind Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but turn around and saw two figures standing there, the leader wearing a black Battle Garment and a smiling face, looking to be in his thirties.


    Something about him felt familiar to Li Yuan. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°You are?¡± Li Yuan hesitated slightly, then a spark of recognition flashed in his mind as he recalled a photograph he had seen, saying with some surprise, ¡°Senior Yan Jing?¡±


    ¡°Haha, I didn¡¯t expect you to recognize me, Li Yuan,¡± the young man in the black Battle Garment laughed, clearly pleased.


    He was indeed the senior from Kunlun Martial University who was as famous as Jin Huguo in the past few decades.


    Before coming, Li Yuan had been told by Dean Hai that in his fifth year at the university, Yan Jing had been specially selected for the Martial Divine Hall, and had been practicing in the Martial Divine Star Realm for the past ten years.


    He just hadn¡¯t expected to meet him so soon.


    ¡°Haha, your reputation, senior, is quite legendary at our Kunlun Martial University,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, ¡°Your name is on all the major lists at the school.¡±

    Chapter 421: Chapter 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jing¡¯s Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3


    ¡°All that¡¯s history,¡± Yan Jing said with a head shake and a chuckle, ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve had an exchange with Brother Jin¡­ he told me you¡¯ve even made it through the complete Kunlun Nine Mountains.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Before him, the many records of the Kunlun Nine Mountains had always been held by Yan Jing.


    ¡°Senior brother, how have the past few years in the Martial Divine Hall been for you?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Your senior brother Yan Jing is a member of the Seven Star Mountain,¡± the gentle woman beside him teased.


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Li Yuan smiled and said. ¡°Senior brother¡¯s strength is almost on par with that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ...


    According to the handbook, to become a member of the Seven Star Mountain, one¡¯s strength must at least reach the threshold of the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°I barely became a member of the Seven Star Mountain last year, leveraging on the strength of my Star Techniques to just meet the attack power standards,¡± Yan Jing said with a shake of his head. ¡°In terms of skills alone, I haven¡¯t even reached the Sixth Stage¡­ compared to a true Flying Heaven Warrior, there¡¯s still a huge gap.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    For a Prime Warrior, without truly grasping the True Intent, it¡¯s difficult to compare with a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Because¡ªFlying Heaven Warriors can fly!


    Flying through the skies is the hallmark of a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ no matter how strong a Prime Warrior¡¯s Star Techniques or weapons might be, if they can¡¯t control the True Intent to fly, they can¡¯t contend with a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Senior brother Yan Jing, is your skill level at 99% of the Fifth Stage?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    As per school records, Yan Jing¡¯s talent should be on par with Jin Huguo¡¯s. Entering the Martial Divine Hall for ten years, progressing from the Fifth Stage High Rank to the brink of Fifth Stage Perfection¡­ a very normal cultivation speed.


    Over the past few days,


    Li Yuan had essentially grasped that although there were still over a thousand people in the Martial Divine Hall, there were just over a hundred members of the Seven Star Mountain.


    This means, the majority of members of the Martial Divine Hall, even after more than ten years of cultivation, still couldn¡¯t pass the seven trials of The Battle of Seven Stars.


    Even the elite talents selected from various planets who have spent decades cultivating in the Martial Divine Hall, only dare to guarantee their step into the Flying Heaven Level¡­ ultimately, very few at the stage of a Prime Warrior truly rival a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Li Yuan, keep it up. Aim to break through the first five trials in The Battle of Seven Stars, or even the sixth,¡± Yan Jing whispered with a laugh. ¡°Others may not know, but I am well aware of your skill level.¡±


    With a smile, Li Yuan responded, ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    ¡­


    Watching Li Yuan depart,


    ¡°Yan Jing, do you think this junior brother can break through the five trials?¡± the gentle woman beside him couldn¡¯t resist asking. ¡°I¡¯ve heard he¡¯s exceptionally gifted, but isn¡¯t he a bit too young?¡±


    ¡°This time I¡¯m betting not just on him breaking through the five trials, but also on him taking first place among the newcomers,¡± Yan Jing replied with a smile.


    ¡°First among the newcomers?¡± The gentle woman was surprised. ¡°Do you think he¡¯s stronger than Bertman from this batch of newcomers?¡±


    ¡°Bertman is Level 29, has trained for much longer, is a Second Class Inheritor of the Martial God, and has absolutely terrifying strength,¡± the gentle woman questioned doubtfully. ¡°Li Yuan will definitely be incredibly strong later, perhaps the next Lude Nef.¡±


    ¡°But right now? How can he compete with Bertman?¡± The gentle woman shook her head, clearly skeptical about Li Yuan¡¯s current strength earning him the first place.


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile. ¡°I was actually planning to pay a visit to this junior brother, just happened to bump into him.¡±


    ¡°Firstly, to build a relationship.¡±


    ¡°And secondly, to assess his Physical Quality¡­ I sensed it carefully just now, and he¡¯s at least Level 28, from the intelligence I¡¯ve gathered, it seems he also has the soul of Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see, I believe in him.¡±


    Yan Jing, who once ventured into the Ninth Mountain among Kunlun Nine Mountains, knew very well the skill requirements for passing the Kunlun Nine Mountains¡­ He also calculated Li Yuan¡¯s skill improvement rate over the past year.


    He reached an astonishing conclusion¡ªLi Yuan¡¯s current skill level might have already reached the brink of the Fifth Stage.


    In the end, he decided to take a gamble.


    With many members in the Martial Divine Hall, many senior members would privately place bets.


    Be it with Blue Star Coins or with Seven Stars Points.


    Events like the annual Battle of Seven Stars were the pinnacle, where the most popular bets were on who would take first place and who could pass the five trials.


    ¡°This time, how much are you planning to wager?¡± the gentle woman asked.


    ¡°Not much, just 1000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Yan Jing said.


    ¡°That¡¯s not much?¡± The gentle woman was shocked. ¡°Are you insane?¡±


    1000 Seven Stars Points is something not even a Flying Heaven Warrior could ignore.


    ¡°No one has faith in Li Yuan, so those bookmakers have set very high odds. I will be spreading my bets,¡± he said.


    ¡°I have confidence in Li Yuan,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile. ¡°Rest assured, this time I might be able to make back everything I¡¯ve lost before.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re totally mad, a lunatic,¡± the gentle woman retorted, shaking her head. ¡°How many Seven Stars Points have you saved up in all your years, apart from what you need for your own cultivation?¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯m betting on is what others don¡¯t know about Li Yuan¡¯s true strength,¡± Yan Jing said.


    Li Yuan, having traversed the Kunlun Nine Mountains, had caused an immense stir within Kunlun Martial University, regarded as a legend by many students.


    But inside the Martial Divine Hall, except for Yan Jing and Jin Huguo, hardly anyone knew about this.


    This is the difference in information.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had no idea that Yan Jing was placing bets on him.

    ¡°Lecture Hall?¡±


    ¡°According to the handbook, every once in a while there will be Flying Heaven Peak Warriors who come to teach the Mysteries of True Intent,¡± Li Yuan glanced over at the several massive halls in the distance.


    Each of the halls was large enough to accommodate over a thousand people.


    Today, only one of the halls was filled with many Martial Divine Hall members attending a class.


    Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, with at least Sixth Stage skills and a direct understanding of the Mysteries of True Intent, can easily attract members of the Martial Divine Hall to their lectures.


    Occasionally, even Star Masters of Level 36 would come to teach a class.


    The schedule would be distributed to every student.


    But whether or not they choose to attend, and which Flying Heaven Warrior¡¯s class they wish to listen to, is up to each member to decide.

    ¡°`


    ¡°The lecturer today seems to be a Flying Heaven Peak martial artist from the Metal Vein, not interested,¡± Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    He headed straight for the Martial Divine Hall.


    Today was July 5th, the very day when, following the ranking, he could receive the Martial God Inheritance.


    ¡­


    The Martial Divine Hall towered majestically, emanating an ancient and vast aura. Its doors were bronze-colored and usually kept closed.


    ...


    Apart from Li Yuan, no one else arrived at the ¡®waiting area¡¯ outside the door.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The gate opened, and a figure in purple clothes flew straight out of the palace. Li Yuan did not recognize the unfamiliar face.


    Their eyes met only briefly.


    The figure in purple soared into the sky, heading toward Seven Star Mountain in the high sky.


    ¡°A member of Seven Star Mountain? The ability to fly without relying on a flying device suggests a super genius who must control True Intent,¡± Li Yuan looked up at the suspended mountain range in the sky, its peaks rising and falling continuously.


    Living atop Seven Star Mountain, overlooking the entire Star Realm, must be very uplifting.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Please enter,¡± a cold voice echoed from behind the waiting area, ¡°If you do not enter within one minute, you will be considered to have forfeited this Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped directly into the Martial Divine Hall, and the metallic gate slowly closed behind him.


    ¡­


    The interior of the Martial Divine Hall was spacious with a metal floor, but towering Divine Pillars stood throughout.


    Mysterious patterns were carved on the pillars, too obscure for Li Yuan to decipher.


    Overall, the entire hall¡¯s style was very antiquarian.


    As his gaze swept across the room, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but think of the Hall of Inheritance where Gu You resided; both structures were quite similar.


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    ¡°That this Martial Divine Hall, like the Hall of Inheritance, was left behind by powerful beings from the past? Is it an ancient relic?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The next moment.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept over Li Yuan, attempting to plunge his consciousness into oblivion.


    ¡°Wake up!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s strong mental presence subconsciously resisted this enveloping wave.


    ¡°First Rank Martial God Inheritor Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Do not resist, or else the inheritance cannot commence.¡±


    ¡°First Rank?¡± Li Yuan paused upon hearing this, wasn¡¯t it supposed to be Second Class?


    Even the Duanmu Mountain Master had said he was a Second Class Martial God Inheritor.


    When had it changed to First Rank?


    But this was not the time for Li Yuan to delve into such questions.


    After just a moment¡¯s hesitation, Li Yuan ceased resisting and willingly surrendered to the invisible pull.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes closed.


    A few seconds later. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Swoosh~¡±


    Whether deliberate or not, in the hands of the now closed-eyed Li Yuan, a Long Spear suddenly appeared.


    It was the Black Chen Spear.


    Then, boom! Li Yuan¡¯s body was instantly covered in countless earthy yellow lights, his Long Spear drawing dazzling radiance¡­ terrifying Spear Techniques were executed one after another.


    This was an instinct, compelling Li Yuan to deploy his most formidable strength subconsciously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Endless Spear Light bloomed as Li Yuan, guided by the invisible force, achieved a perfect blend of mind and body.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Strength assessment successful.¡±


    ¡°Skilled in Spear Technique, exhibits a high level of affinity with the Earth Vein¡­ also has a certain level of compatibility with the Wind Vein¡­¡± a cold voice began to resonate within Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Inheritance initiated.¡±


    ¡°Marking target induction, unknown Fifth Order Divine Being, skilled in Spear Technique, versed in both Earth and Wind Laws.¡±


    ¡°Inheritance begins.¡±


    Even though Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was being guided, he remained lucid.


    This moment, that cold voice set off tempestuous waves in his heart.


    He had a certain degree of compatibility with the Wind Vein? Since when was he aware of this?


    At the same time.


    Li Yuan also realized that the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Martial Divine Hall inheritance¡­ seemed indeed to be related to Divine Beings.


    Before Li Yuan could contemplate further.


    Hum~


    A point of light emerged within the hall, appearing out of nowhere, and descended directly onto Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness sank entirely, but in that instant, he became utterly transfixed.

 Chapter 423 - 267: Law Integration! The Pinnacle of Spear Technique (Additional 6)

    Chapter 423: Chapter 267: Law Integration! The Pinnacle of Spear Technique (Additional Chapter 6)


    This was a rather vast world.


    An endless wilderness stretched before him, the land vast and broad, with a figure about three meters high standing there.


    He was clad in black combat armor intricately patterned, as if containing unnamed fluctuations that made the figure¡¯s presence even more terrifying.


    In his palm was a nearly five-meter-long silver spear, the shaft of which was carved with countless complex and secret runes, particularly at the spearhead.


    Whoosh!


    The black figure¡¯s long spear suddenly moved, practicing spear technique on the spot.


    ...


    It was in the instant of the spear¡¯s dance.


    Hum~ Soundlessly, a consciousness completely merged into the figure in the black combat armor.


    ¡°Me?¡± Li Yuan was bewildered, sensing that he seemed to have entered a new body, his perception sharp to the extreme, with the vast world seemingly within his control.


    His immensely powerful body, every gesture, seemed capable of annihilating heaven and earth.


    However, Li Yuan¡¯s conscious will was very vague, as if suppressed by an invisible force, unable to control the body, only sensing instinctively.


    ¡°The mark!¡±


    ¡°Right, this seems to be a spiritual imprint left by a divine being,¡± the thought vaguely flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°What I should do is to sense the mystery of this imprint.¡±


    Spear Technique!


    Li Yuan could sense that the man in the black combat armor was practicing spear techniques, each movement slow, not even harnessing much power within his body, yet the spear was drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth.


    ¡°It is the force of the Earth Vein from heaven and earth.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s perception was extremely clear; this was the force of heaven and earth he often harnessed in his training.


    Utterly familiar!


    Beyond the force of the Earth Vein of heaven and earth, Li Yuan also sensed another force, just as refined, but not as powerful.


    ¡°This force of heaven and earth, it somehow also feels familiar.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s subconscious had already forgotten what he was supposed to do, only focusing all his effort on sensing it, trying to understand, to remember.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The man in the black combat armor continued practicing with the spear, its might rapidly transforming, not containing a trace of Origin Power, but the force of heaven and earth it summoned was increasingly terrifying and refined.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    With the movement of the spear, it seemed like stars in tumult, making the man in the black combat armor appear as a celestial body, embodying an unshakable, terrifying dignity capable of crushing everything.


    ¡°Stellar True Intent!¡±


    ¡°His level of spear technique has entered the Sixth Stage, the force of heaven and earth so refined, it can be called True Intent,¡± Li Yuan continued to sense clearly.


    He had an illusion, as if he himself had also comprehended the Stellar True Intent.


    This feeling was very mysterious and strange.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± The originally mighty and majestic spear technique abruptly changed, seeming to incorporate another profound mystery, becoming unpredictable.


    A burst of spear light, occasionally erupting, was enough to stir the void for over a hundred meters, as if to tear the void apart.


    The speed of the silver spear dance grew faster.


    The might of the spear technique grew more terrifying.


    ¡°This¡­ seems to be the integration of another True Intent, the combination of two mighty True Intents,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s sensing became more arduous: ¡°This should be Wind¡­ the Mystery of the Wind Vein¡¯s True Intent.¡±


    It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.


    Regarding the Stellar True Intent, Li Yuan had cultivated to the Fifth Stage Perfection, and he was only one step away from the initial condensation of True Intent.


    Therefore, he found sensing the Divine Being¡¯s imprint and comprehending the mysteries of Stellar True Intent extremely comforting.


    All the many confusions of the past seemed to unravel in an instant.


    But as for the mystery of the Earth Vein¡¯s True Intent? Although, in the training over the past few months, Li Yuan had followed his heart in pursuit of maximizing the speed of his Spear Technique, and had already begun to unwittingly draw on a bit of the power of Heaven and Earth from the Earth Vein¡­ he was still far from condensing the Earth Vein¡¯s True Intent.


    So, even though he had a very clear sense of it, Li Yuan still struggled to truly understand.


    ¡°Follow this feeling.¡±


    ¡°Experience these profound fluctuations.¡± Although Li Yuan¡¯s conscious mind was suppressed, his subconscious, instinctual nature had given up on directly deciphering and was instead striving to remember this rhythm of the Spear Technique.


    To grasp the profoundness! To seize the essence!


    From this moment, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness seemed to completely merge with the man in black combat armor, indistinguishable from each other, clearly sensing the copious mysterious fluctuations of Heaven and Earth in his Spear Technique.


    Time passed.


    The Spear Technique displayed by the man in black combat armor became increasingly powerful. He still had not drawn upon his physical strength, but his Spiritual Will had completely merged into the Spear Technique.


    The Spear Technique became ever more sharp.


    The power of Heaven and Earth it drew upon grew increasingly vast and unfathomable.


    A radius of several hundred meters around him, following the rhythm of the Spear Technique, had been thoroughly turned into ruins.


    Countless fragments of stone and dirt shook and tumbled through the vast sky along with the Spear Light.


    Suddenly, it seemed as if the power of Heaven and Earth being drawn upon had reached a certain limit.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    With a sudden thrust of his long spear, the man in black combat armor unleashed a strike that was immensely powerful and also incredibly fast.


    With a single thrust!


    Boom! Boom! The previously vast and imposing power of Heaven and Earth was completely compressed into a single point, all condensed at the tip of the spear, instantly making the power of the spear tip reach an inconceivable level.


    Whoosh~


    The Spear Light tore through the vast sky, instantly piercing through a thousand kilometers of the void, leaving behind a long-lasting trace between Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Law!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Law of Earth, the Wind Law.¡± Li Yuan realized, and vaguely thought of a move he had seen Principal Fang Hai perform before.


    A single drop of rain, tearing through Heaven and Earth.


    How similar it was to the move he was witnessing now, both directly drawing upon the mystery of Heaven and Earth, and their power reaching terrifying levels.


    Human strength is limited.


    But the power of Heaven and Earth is infinite.


    ¡°This Divine Being¡¯s move seems even stronger, his Spear Technique containing two great laws, almost perfectly integrating the Law of Earth with that of Wind.¡± Li Yuan felt enlightened.


    The man in black combat armor continued to practice his spear, his Spear Technique becoming ever more esoteric.


    Let alone the Wind Law, even the fluctuations of the Law of Earth were completely beyond Li Yuan¡¯s understanding.


    After all, he had only just touched the threshold of True Intent, to say nothing of condensing the essential mysteries of the laws representing the nature of Heaven and Earth.


    But still.


    Even if he did not understand, this resonance and comprehension of the Spiritual Imprint was indeed a special kind of baptism, laying the firmest foundation for Li Yuan¡¯s future cultivation.


    After a long time had passed and this resonance of consciousness became extremely exhausting, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness gradually became weary.


    Finally.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The man in black combat armor¡¯s eyes snapped into focus.


    He abruptly mobilized the vast and endless origin power within his body and fully activated the six star meridians¡­ he burst out with all his might.


    A spear thrust forward.


    The terrifying power instantly tore through the land ahead.


    It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split apart; one by one, mountains were crushed and torn apart, eventually leaving behind a ravine hundreds of kilometers long¡­ such was the terrifying power of a single spear.


    Whoosh!


    The man in black combat armor finally retracted his spear and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.


    His burst speed had reached over 100 kilometers per second in just a few seconds, arriving at the very edge of the void.


    Hum~


    The thread of consciousness that belonged to Li Yuan, which had descended here, was rapidly disintegrating, and in the final scene before complete disintegration, he vaguely saw a massive warship at the edge of the void.


    On the warship, there seemed to be many figures wearing the same black combat armor¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat puzzled, feeling a sense of unreality.


    A very mystical experience


    To resonate with the spiritual imprint of a divine being? The impact on Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual will was too great.


    Even with a soul as strong as his, he was somewhat dazed for a time.


    In the countless spear techniques he sensed through the consciousness resonance.


    Now, combined with Li Yuan¡¯s lucid consciousness, his mind was flooded with countless insights.


    Yet, if he wanted to truly master them, he had to personally practice and experience the spear technique.


    After a while, Li Yuan finally calmed down completely.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice suddenly said, ¡°Remember, only a first-rank Martial God inheritor is eligible for ¡®consciousness resonance¡¯ and can understand the true essence of the inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Second-class Martial God inheritors and third-class Martial God inheritors, except for very few, mostly just assimilate the marks and learn through intuition. The effects of their inheritance differ much more. Even if they have guesses, they do not understand the specific details.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, remember not to reveal any secrets,¡± the gentle voice said.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He had a hunch that this gentle voice was probably the true ruler of the Martial Divine Hall.


    As for the so-called truth? Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled even more.


    This divine imprint left by the divine being¡­ was just too miraculous, and from the screening situation just now, the number of divine being inheritances contained within the Martial Divine Hall was probably astonishing.


    Indeed, it was very surprising.


    So many divine inheritances, where did they come from? This was surely one of the greatest secrets of the Seven Star Civilization. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At this moment, Li Yuan also somewhat understood.


    Why, in just a short period of time, the Seven Star Civilization rose swiftly, giving birth to so many demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors.


    With the Martial Divine Hall¡¯s inheritance, the probability of a genius growing into a strong warrior was much higher.


    What constitutes the foundation of a civilization? This was it!


    ¡°As a first-rank Martial God inheritor, you can receive an inheritance of marks once a year,¡± the gentle voice said. ¡°You may return next July.¡±


    ¡°But externally, you are still considered a second-rank Martial God inheritor, do not expose yourself.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his mind already on the Divine Spirit Liquid, which was also provided privately.


    The Martial God inheritance was probably the same.


    ¡°Furthermore, I must remind you, the inheritance of marks and the consciousness resonance are merely to let you experience the pinnacle of spear technique and the mystery of the law¡¯s fluctuation; they are still just auxiliary to your own efforts.¡±


    ¡°Your own spear technique, your perception of the heavens and earth¡­ you must still cultivate step by step,¡± the gentle voice advised. ¡°Do not be negligent, as every instance of consciousness resonance comes at a great cost to our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    Indeed, the consciousness resonance was not real, he had not yet condensed the Stellar True Intent, and he was still far from understanding the Mystery of Wind¡­ yet this experience was enough to give him a more complete recognition of the path ahead.


    In a sense, it was as if he had received the cultivation experience of a divine being.


    ¡°Any other questions?¡± the gentle voice asked. ¡°If there are no questions, you may leave.¡±


    ¡°May I ask senior, what are the requirements to advance from a first-rank Martial God inheritor to a special-rank Martial God inheritor?¡± Li Yuan asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.


    If there were such benefits to being first-rank, what about special-rank?


    The hall fell silent for a few seconds.


    ¡°When you achieve Flying Heaven, think about it then,¡± the gentle voice answered. ¡°Special-rank Martial God inheritors are unrelated to the Martial Divine Hall¡­ when your strength is sufficiently powerful, you will naturally come to understand.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan walked out of the hall.


    Rumbling~ the doors of the hall closed.


    ¡°Fifth-rank unidentified divine being inheritance imprint, depleted of power, now temporarily sealed for restoration.¡±


    ¡°Reactivate in twenty years.¡± An invisible fluctuation transmitted throughout the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡­


    Soon after, Li Yuan returned to his palace residence.


    ¡°Xiaoyu! Activate seclusion mode!¡±


    ¡°For the next twelve days, no one must disturb me for anything other than matters of extreme importance,¡± Li Yuan ordered directly.


    Right now, having just received the inheritance, all sorts of feelings and insights were at their clearest. He had to seize the time to cultivate.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Xiaoyu responded.


    Quickly, the entire villa was transformed, isolating all external influences.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Spear!¡± The Black Chen Spear appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s right hand, and he gripped it firmly, his mind filled with the scenes of consciousness resonance with the unknown divine being he had just experienced.


    He did not rashly begin practicing with the spear but instead strived to quiet his heart and search for that special sensation.


    For a long time.


    ¡°Law Integration!¡±


    ¡°The strongest, the fastest! That is the peak of spear technique,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently. ¡°That unknown divine being managed to integrate two laws, increasing the might of the spear technique to an incomprehensible level¡­ I am far behind.¡±


    ¡°One step at a time.¡±


    ¡°Follow the sensation and practice!¡±

    Chapter 424: Chapter 268: Breakthrough! Embryo of True Intent (Request for Monthly Votes)


    Time flowed by, day by day.


    Beyond his daily foundational cultivation, Li Yuan devoted almost all his remaining time to practicing his spear technique.


    Without sleep or rest.


    Besides Li Yuan, the newcomers who had just joined the Martial Divine Hall, after their initial excitement, also began to practice relentlessly.


    With the inheritance of the Martial God, teachers who were Flying Heaven Peak warriors, various free third-rank secret manuals, optimal combat training, and numerous auxiliary cultivation treasures¡­ any martial arts genius would understand that these are undoubtedly the best cultivation conditions offered by the Seven Star Civilization.


    If not now, when would they strive hard?


    ...


    Especially those geniuses who had received the ¡°Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    For instance, Li Yuan had conveyed Yu Jinghe¡¯s advice to Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, and others¡­


    Feeling the preciousness of the Martial God Inheritance, these geniuses naturally desired even more to ascend from third-class inheritors to second-class, or even first-class.


    After all, third-class inheritors of the Martial God could only receive the inheritance once every five years.


    Compared to the first-class and second-class, the difference in treatment was far too great.


    And The Battle of Seven Stars would be their first debut in the Martial Divine Star Realm, an event that both the Mountain Lords and demigods would pay attention to.


    ¡­


    July 17th.


    In the vast underground Martial Arts Room, bright lights illuminated the area like daylight.


    Whoosh~ Whoosh~


    Li Yuan was holding a long spear and constantly practicing his spear technique in the Martial Arts Room.


    Every swing of his long spear drew upon astonishing heavenly and earthly forces, sometimes creating starlight phantoms and sometimes forming spear light illusions.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    However, compared to the past, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique had clearly changed; it was neither the purely continuous and absolute defense of the ¡°Whirling Galaxy¡± nor the wild, sweeping, overwhelming offense of the ¡°Stellar Burst,¡± which served as offense in place of defense.


    Instead, it combined the advantages of both true intent killing moves.


    ¡°Spear techniques that are too soft won¡¯t do, and long defenses are hard to maintain,¡± Li Yuan reflected with clarity in his mind. ¡°But spear techniques that are too rigid and strong also won¡¯t do, for excessive rigidity leads to breakage, and unrelenting fierce attacks will eventually exhaust their momentum.¡±


    ¡°The so-called Stellar True Intent should inherently be complete and flawless, inclusive and comprehensive.¡±


    ¡°The truly superior Stellar Spear Technique should be a harmonious blend of strength and softness, Yin-Yang conversion, continuous and never-ending.¡± Since accepting the Martial God Inheritance, for more than ten days, Li Yuan had been practicing the spear following his own insights.


    The miraculous experience of consciousness resonance allowed Li Yuan to unconsciously gravitate towards the spear technique of the divine, absorbing the essence of the Divine Spear Technique.


    While pondering alone, Li Yuan would occasionally observe the ¡°Map of Myriad Stars,¡± combining it with his own insights for deduction and summarization.


    His many advantages led to rapid progress.


    In just over ten days, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique became smoother and more fluid, and he felt that many of the perplexities of the past were gradually being resolved.


    Suddenly, as if a stroke of luck had touched his heart.


    ¡°Swoosh~¡± Suddenly, his previously wildly unremitting spear technique transformed in an instant. Li Yuan¡¯s whole body¡¯s vigor, in combination with his Origin Power, burst forth through the Black Chen Spear. The numerous spear light phantoms that had exploded before converged, as if a star were suddenly collapsing, with countless energies and materials all gathering at the center, completely concentrating.


    The next instant!


    Boom! The terrifying heavenly and earthly forces, compressed to the extreme, were almost entirely focused on the tip of the spear and burst forth from the long spear, twisting as they erupted skywards, and shockingly shot out a spear light dozens of meters long through the void.


    Piercing the void!


    Enduring endlessly!


    Clearly, this spear light had been condensed to the extreme.


    ¡°Haha!¡±


    ¡°I did it, I¡¯ve finally mastered it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled with an inexplicable light, ¡°The condensation of this spear has increased my attack power by several times over.¡±


    ¡°The might of one spear is nearly at the limit of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan mused internally, ¡°It can already be considered the embryonic form of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°To think that the chasm between the Fifth and Sixth Stages has been crossed by me so unwittingly.¡±


    What is called the condensation of True Intent,


    is to continuously comprehend and lead the forces of heaven and earth until they fuse into one point, much like curling five fingers into a fist and punching out fiercely, its power astonishing¡­ Previously, Li Yuan¡¯s two major True Intent Killing Moves, whether utmost yin or utmost yang, couldn¡¯t achieve perfect condensation, thus they could only be considered Fifth Stage Perfection.


    But now, this move, with Yin-Yang conversion and perpetual life, is truly close to the spear technique of the Sixth Stage.


    It can be said.


    In the time to come, as long as Li Yuan keeps comprehending and sensing more of the forces of heaven and earth, and strives to integrate these comprehensions into this spear technique killing move¡­ and keeps refining it.


    He will inevitably truly step into the Sixth Stage.


    Just by creating the third True Intent Killing Move, his skill has reached the threshold of the Sixth Stage; should this news spread, it would surely shock the many geniuses of the Martial Divine Hall and a great number of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    It¡¯s well known that many Flying Heaven Warriors, relying on years of accumulation, have created five or even six True Intent Killing Moves, yet still struggle to break through.


    ¡°True Intent Killing Moves value quality, not quantity,¡±


    Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°These three True Intent Killing Moves of mine have already encapsulated the mysteries of the Stellar True Intent, sufficient for my use.¡±


    ¡°Many Flying Heaven Warriors, despite creating numerous True Intent Killing Moves, essentially have an insufficiently high comprehension of the Mystery of Heaven and Earth, and the core mysteries of many moves are similar, unable to merge with each other¡­ Being numerous and mixed actually hinders breakthrough,¡± Li Yuan, now of a higher realm and having inherited the divine spear-fighting experience, had an elevated perspective as well.


    In the current eyes of Li Yuan, many of the skills and moves of the Flying Heaven Warriors had flaws and weaknesses.


    Such rapid progress was also because Li Yuan had sufficient accumulation, having practiced the Supreme Star Technique for so long, the Martial God inheritance, and the Map of Myriad Stars¡­ all added up with Li Yuan¡¯s inherently high Comprehension.


    He had made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.


    ¡°This move, I will name based on the final layer¡¯s conception in ¡®Meaning of the Stellar¡¯,¡± Li Yuan thought casually, ¡°Let¡¯s call it ¡®Stellar Reversion to Ruins¡¯.¡±


    In an instant, all power is withdrawn and then in the next moment, it completely bursts forth towards one point, indeed worthy of the phrase ¡®reversion to ruins¡¯.¡±


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°Up to now, I still can¡¯t integrate the mysteries of the wind into the Stellar Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique, while always pursuing the strongest, the fastest,


    during the resonance of consciousness with the Divine Spear Technique, he personally experienced the integration of the two laws.


    However, when he truly consciously mimicked the Divine Spear Technique to practice, Li Yuan realized¡­ it was too difficult.


    First of all, to truly comprehend the mystery of the wind was very difficult.


    ¡°I may have some talent in the Wind Vein, but compared to the talent of the Earth Vein, it¡¯s far too lacking,¡± Li Yuan secretly said, ¡°Over these ten-plus days, I have only comprehended a bit of the mysteries of the wind.¡±


    ¡°Computed, it¡¯s barely at the standard of 10% of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    The boost to his strength was negligible.


    Li Yuan also attempted to combine the two forces of heaven and earth.


    But the core of the two forces was entirely different, like two armies abruptly mixed together¡ªbattle power may not increase, but might even decrease.


    At least, Li Yuan still didn¡¯t have much of a clue now.


    Spear Technique moves, invoking the power of heaven and earth, were never about quantity but about suitability.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll contemplate it step by step. That divine being was even able to combine two major laws to erupt with power,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°I just want to make a preliminary integration of the Earth and Wind mysteries, and I refuse to believe I can¡¯t do it.¡±


    He calmed his mind.


    Li Yuan continued to ponder over the Spear Technique, not stopping until deep into the night.


    Then he began to practice the Visualization Method.


    ¡­


    July 18th, a little past four in the morning.


    ¡°Once dawn arrives, it will be the time for The Battle of Seven Stars,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes carried a hint of anticipation. ¡°I also don¡¯t know how far I can go.¡±


    His gaze involuntarily swept over the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡­


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s physical quality, Spear Technique skills, or Star Technique, all have been cultivated to the current limit,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself. ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    He gently closed his eyes, silently regulating his breath.


    At eight o¡¯clock in the morning, he drank some Third Rank Spiritual Liquid again and ate some food.


    Feeling quite comfortable throughout his body, Li Yuan finally received a message alert: ¡°Li Yuan, come out quickly.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, with a maximum diameter of over a thousand kilometers, only lived a little over a thousand Martial Divine Hall members, and a handful of logistical support staff.


    Therefore, aside from the most central area which served as the daily living and cultivation space for geniuses like Li Yuan and Dantai Feng,


    In the outer areas, many ultra-large buildings with special uses were constructed.


    For example¡ªthe Seven Stars Battlefield.


    This actually is a large-scale combat space built specially for the yearly Battle of Seven Stars.


    Inside a small flying vehicle that was carrying Li Yuan, Dantai Feng, Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Yin Man, and Yin He, they flew towards the vast expanse of the Seven Stars Battlefield.


    The twelve talents from Blue Star seemed to be from the same hometown, but most were not acquainted with one another.


    They formed small cliques.


    Or to say, the several hundred geniuses of the entire Martial Divine Hall were all divided into many cliques.


    And this group, naturally centered around Li Yuan, with people like Yin Man, Yin He¡­ was purely because they were all from Xia Country and wished to socialize a bit, thus they had taken the initiative to gather.


    ¡°You all didn¡¯t come yesterday,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile. ¡°Yesterday¡¯s Seven Stars advancement battle for the older generation was actually quite amazing.¡±


    ¡°Over a dozen made a successful assault on the Seven Star Mountain, even revealing mysteries of True Intent,¡± Dantai Feng said with a sigh. ¡°So impressive, those two, I heard, are veterans who have been practicing for over ten years, still Prime Warriors but definitely a match for a real Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    The Battle of Seven Stars held in the Martial Divine Star Realm, aside from the yearly battle for newcomers, also holds ¡®advancement battles¡¯.


    Any old members who feel they have sufficient strength can apply to fight.


    It¡¯s generally held two days before the newcomers¡¯ battle, with the option for others to go watch.


    ¡°You missed out big time by not seeing it,¡± Dantai Feng said with a look of regret.


    ¡°As if everyone¡¯s like you, not capable enough to participate in the battle, yet not focusing on cultivation,¡± Tian Dazhuang shook his head. ¡°Wandering around all day.¡±


    ¡°This is called familiarizing oneself with the environment and broadening one¡¯s knowledge,¡± Dantai Feng retorted, glaring at him. ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t you also go to watch the fight yesterday?¡±


    ¡°Haha!¡± A burst of laughter came from the group.


    Everyone was used to the banter between Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang.


    In fact, if Li Yuan was not participating in the battle himself, he probably would have gone to watch.


    ¡­


    The flying vehicle arrived at the outer area of the Seven Stars Battlefield, a gigantic metallic structure over a hundred meters tall. As they got closer, it was still quite shocking to behold.


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others got off the flying vehicle.


    ¡°Such a huge building, and it¡¯s only used a couple of times a year, that¡¯s pretty extravagant,¡± Tian Dazhuang remarked.


    ¡°Not just that,¡± Alicia said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that occasionally, when Martial Divine Hall members challenge each other, they will also hold it here.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Tian Dazhuang realized.


    ¡°There are quite a few people who¡¯ve come.¡± Li Yuan looked around.


    Many people were also getting off flying vehicles, heading into the interior of the battlefield through the gate.


    How many people were in the entire Martial Divine Hall?


    Li Yuan was quite surprised to see so many people coming to watch.


    ¡°Normally, each year only about one or two hundred old members come to watch, with most people still focusing on their cultivation,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile. ¡°But this time it¡¯s different. Anyone who stayed in the Martial Divine Star Realm will probably come to watch.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Not just Alicia, but even Yin Man and Yin He were curious.


    Dantai Feng revealed a mysterious smile: ¡°Because this year there are two people who are receiving a lot of attention. One is Bertman. He is quite old but has received a Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot. Many say he has the potential to win six battles.¡±


    ¡°The other is you, Li Yuan,¡± Dantai Feng said, looking at Li Yuan with a spark in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that.


    ¡°In the last few months, Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, when they meet at Martial Divine Hall gatherings, they mention that they consider Li Yuan to be the number one talent of the alliance, destined to surpass Lude Nef.¡±


    ¡°Your fame has already spread wide.¡±


    ¡°How could your first Battle of Seven Stars not attract attention?¡± Dantai Feng expressed with feeling. ¡°What a pity, when will I receive such remarks like Lude Nef and the others.¡±

    ¡°Lude Nef? Wu Manong? They actually commented on Li Yuan like that?¡±


    ¡°No wonder Li Yuan¡¯s fame is so great.¡±


    ¡°These past few days, while training at the Pillar of Spirit, I often heard many of the older members mention Li Yuan, and some were perplexed by the high level of attention Li Yuan has garnered.¡±


    ¡°It turns out that¡¯s the case.¡± Jin Huguo, Tian Dazhuang, and Yin Man listened with considerable emotion.


    The members of Martial Divine Hall have a ¡®Seven Stars Ranking¡¯ which only includes the top twenty brilliant talents from the Seven Star Mountain, with Lude Nef ranked first.


    ...


    Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others are also listed among them, so people like Jin Huguo were well aware of the formidable strength of the few mentioned by Dantai Feng.


    Those are the most top-notch talents in the contemporary Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Li Yuan, do you know them?¡± Yin He, who rarely spoke, couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Both from Xia Country and in terms of training years, Yin He is the oldest among them, and among the senior students at Blue Star Starfire Martial University, his strength is also the strongest.


    However, compared to Bores, he is much more low-key.


    ¡°We met in the Fierce Feather Star Realm,¡± Alicia said with a smile: ¡°The captain¡¯s strength has earned him considerable respect from Wu Manong and Lude Nef.¡±


    Everyone suddenly understood.


    ¡°Bertman has arrived,¡± Alicia suddenly said in a low voice, prompting everyone to look over.


    Li Yuan also looked over.


    Several figures disembarked from another flying vehicle not far away. The man leading them wore a blue robe and had short purple hair. He looked to be just over twenty years old, with a stern expression.


    A group of people were crowding around him, heading inside.


    Bertman glanced at Li Yuan and the others, especially taking a longer look at Li Yuan, but his face showed no sign of emotion.


    ¡°Level 29.6? It seems to have increased by 0.1 since last time,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    He had activated the Divine Palace Inquiry to confirm the other¡¯s Life Level.


    In fact, on the very first day Li Yuan arrived at Martial Divine Star Realm, he had encountered Bertman, who had the highest Life Level among the newcomers.


    But at the time, Li Yuan did not know that person was Bertman.


    ¡°Pretty arrogant,¡± Dantai Feng grumbled: ¡°And he¡¯s got so many people following him like underlings.¡±


    ¡°If you were as strong as him, you¡¯d probably be even more arrogant,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a chuckle: ¡°I¡¯ve looked up Bertman¡¯s information; he comes from Tianhai Star, and those around him are most likely newcomers who came from Tianhai Star this year.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    The Seven Star Civilization consists of the Seven Great Planets.


    Just in terms of population, Feixing comes first with 50 billion, followed by Tianhai Star with over 30 billion, and then comes the Blue Star with over 10 billion people.


    The larger the population, the greater the number of martial arts talents that will be selected.


    Population is the foundation of birthing top-notch talents.


    ¡°Almost all the older students say he is hopeful to win first place in the newcomer battle. I know that in the betting pools organized by the older students, they all bet on him to be number one in the newcomer battle and to get the highest performance evaluation,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a laugh.


    It was clear that, like Tian Dazhuang and Dantai Feng who didn¡¯t have the pressure of participating in The Battle of Seven Stars, they had the most interactions with other older members over half a month and knew the most about various sorts of information.


    ¡°First place? Him? If he were really that powerful, he would have been chosen for the Martial Arts Hall long ago,¡± Alicia frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.


    Deep down, she was very much looking forward to Li Yuan winning first place in the newcomer battle.


    ¡°Alicia, don¡¯t underestimate anyone,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°Being a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, his greater age actually gives him an advantage in the newcomer¡¯s Battle of Seven Stars.¡±


    ¡°Besides, being so aged yet directly confirmed as a Second-Class Martial God Inheritor also indirectly proves his exceptional qualities,¡± Li Yuan said smilingly.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Alicia nodded, not objecting.


    Just as everyone was about to enter,


    ¡°Li Yuan, Alicia, you guys got here before me,¡± a voice of surprise suddenly came from behind them. Following closely, a figure with a full head of blond hair strode forward, revealing a self-perceived handsome smile.


    Alicia frowned.


    The smiles also faded from everyone else¡¯s faces.


    ¡°Bores,¡± Li Yuan, however, revealed a polite smile: ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s been a long time,¡± Bores said with a big grin: ¡°Shall we go in together?¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    ¡­


    The entire Battle of Seven Stars arena is quite vast.


    Everyone proceeded along the corridor, stepped onto the stairs, and quickly came upon quite a spacious battlefield, with a maximum diameter that definitely exceeded 3 kilometers.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite large,¡± Li Yuan observed with a sweep of his gaze.


    The terrain of the entire battlefield was not completely flat, but rather quite complex; it was not fully forged from metal either, at first glance it almost seemed like soil, clearly of a very special material.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the building materials for the entire Seven Stars surface are very unique, acquired in a trade with an Alien Civilization by a Demigod,¡± Dantai Feng said excitedly: ¡°Similar to memory metal, even if the fighting intensifies and changes the terrain, after a major battle, the entire battlefield will quickly return to its original state.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s pretty special,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    The group headed towards the Spectator Platform area.


    Compared to the vast combat area, the spectator area was built much smaller, limited to one side of the combat space.


    There were only three thousand spectator seats.


    After all, how many members are there in Martial Divine Hall? The number has never exceeded two thousand in decades.


    Thus, three thousand spectator seats were sufficient.


    ¡°Bertman has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is here, too.¡±


    ¡°It seems Lude Nef and the others think highly of Li Yuan, but from what I see in those betting pools, they seem to favor Bertman even more.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? How long has Bertman been training? How long has Li Yuan been? Lude Nef and the others are optimistic about Li Yuan¡¯s future strength, that doesn¡¯t mean Li Yuan is strong now,¡± someone retorted.

    ¡°He¡¯s too young.¡±


    ¡°In my opinion, it would be good if Li Yuan could win four matches this time,¡± many veteran members in the spectator area were discussing with each other.


    By now, Li Yuan, Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, and the rest of their group had already taken seats in the third row of the spectator seats.


    Each seat was very spacious.


    All the newcomers sat in the lowest rows, so they could quickly join the battle.


    ¡°It sounds like all the veteran members are rooting for Bertman,¡± Yin He commented softly.


    ...


    ¡°Wait until our captain makes a move, then they¡¯ll naturally come to their senses,¡± Alicia whispered.


    She had her reasons for being optimistic about Li Yuan, beyond just trusting him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe and the others are up there; should we go to meet them?¡± Jin Huguo said in a low voice.


    ¡°No need, we¡¯ll talk after the battle,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Senior brother, calm your mind and prepare for battle.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan has arrived.¡±


    In the highest seats of the spectator platform, more than ten figures sat, their presence exceptionally strong. People like Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and An Yongya were among them.


    The ordinary veteran members below didn¡¯t dare to approach them.


    Because these ten-odd people were the most elite of the veteran students from Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe, do you think your little fellow townsman can make it through the sixth round? However, from the betting pool that An Yongya opened, it seems Bertman is listed as the favorite,¡± an astonishingly beautiful black-haired woman said curiously.


    She wore purple attire and radiated a heroic spirit.


    ¡°Pei Jun, just watch,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, do you also not trust a demigod¡¯s judgment?¡±


    Pei Jun was an incredible talent from Feixing, with Xia Country bloodlines.


    After Feixing¡¯s first major extinction caused by an invasion from a foreign civilization, many planets resettled a large number of their population on Feixing to replenish various regions.


    The majority of those who immigrated were from Xia Country.


    Now, the people of Feixing, descended from many planets and nations, were numerous; those with Xia Country lineages ranked among the top three.


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°The Mountain Lord has arrived,¡± Tavares commented as he looked toward the sky, where eight figures descended directly from high above to another side on the podium.


    All of them were Flying Heaven Warriors responsible for guarding the Martial Divine Star Realm¡ªeach at least at the peak of Flying Heaven.


    The one leading was Duanmu Hong, dressed in a white robe.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    Members of the Martial Divine Hall arrived one by one and took their places on the spectator seats, and they also noticed the arrival of the Duanmu Mountain Lord. No one dared to speak out loudly.


    Succeeding that, newcomers like Chu Chen and Nevsky arrived one after the other, and the number of people in the spectator seats had exceeded seven hundred.


    Compared to the total number of Martial Divine Hall members, this number was remarkable.


    ¡°There are so many people! At last year¡¯s Battle of Seven Stars, less than a hundred veteran members came to watch,¡± the gentle and beautiful woman sitting next to Yan Jing surveyed the area and couldn¡¯t help but comment.


    ¡°The situation is different this year,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ¡°Just wait and see,¡± Yan Jing smiled, although he felt quite nervous inside.


    1,000 Seven Stars Points!


    If converted to Blue Star Coins, it would easily amount to over a hundred billion¡­ For Yan Jing, this was a massive fortune.


    ¡°Little brother, give it your all,¡± Yan Jing muttered to himself, ¡°I¡¯m counting on your victory to turn things around.¡±


    ¡°The Mountain Lord has flown out,¡± the gentle and beautiful woman suddenly said, ¡°The battle should be starting soon.¡±


    ¡­


    Hum~


    Duanmu Mountain Lord, dressed in a white robe, stepped off the podium, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.


    He stood in the void, overlooking the more than seven hundred people on the spectator seats, and suddenly, an invisible pressure spread out, enveloping the whole Seven Stars battlefield.


    The previously noisy Spectator Platform quickly fell silent.


    ¡°I won¡¯t reiterate the specific rules in detail,¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord said indifferently, his voice echoing throughout the battlefield, ¡°I only remind all participants of one thing: today, there are many demigods watching the battle through the virtual network.¡±


    ¡°Give it your all!¡±


    ¡°If you perform well, you might catch the attention of a demigod and then be taken as a direct disciple,¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord announced.


    This caused the eyes of the hundred or so newcomers to light up, including those of Chu Chen and Bertman, both Second Class inheritors of the Martial God.


    Demigod direct disciple?


    Having arrived at the Martial Divine Star Realm, they were naturally aware of what demigods represented¡ªthey were dominating figures of the Seven Star Civilization, with terrifying strength.


    Being accepted as a disciple of a demigod would greatly increase their chances of becoming peak Flying Heaven Warriors in the future.


    And there was even a chance to achieve demigod status.


    After all, the majority of disciples from the Martial Divine Hall would end their journey as ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors, with only a few reaching the peak of Flying Heaven.


    To become a peak Flying Heaven Warrior, one must refine True Intent of heaven and earth.


    ¡°Demigod¡¯s disciple?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, not too expectant inside.


    Even if a demigod wanted to take disciples, it still depended on whether he was willing.


    For Li Yuan, diligently cultivating and gaining control of the Hall of Inheritance of the Ancient Torch Divine was the brightest path.


    ¡°Three minutes later,¡±


    ¡°Following the pre-arranged order of battle, come onto the field in succession to participate,¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord overseeing everyone with a detached voice, ¡°Remember, the Battle of Seven Stars is also a life-or-death battle, so be very careful.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, even with numerous safety measures in place, there is still a chance of death.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s heart chilled.


    The death rate was repeatedly mentioned in the handbook. Even as the gathering place for the top talents of the Seven Star Civilization, with layers of protection, the rate of death was still alarmingly high.


    Every year, hundreds of new members are recruited, yet most talents spend over fifteen or even twenty years in the Martial Divine Hall before breaking through as Flying Heaven Warriors.

    Chapter 427: Chapter 269: The Battle of Seven Stars (Extra 7)_3


    ¡°`


    But why does the Martial Divine Hall only have a thousand people all year round?


    They¡¯re all dead!


    Going out to fight and kill in wars claims lives, carrying out certain tasks claims lives, and even the seemingly safe ¡°The Battle of Seven Stars¡± can be lethal¡­ In the battle of the Fierce Feather Star Realm like this one, a super genius named ¡°Abbott¡±, at par with Wu Manong and others, fell.


    ¡­


    In the Seven Star Civilization, the virtual networks between the Seven Great Planets are not interconnected for ordinary people.


    ...


    Because once fully linked, the number of people accessing it would be too great, the cost too immense.


    In fact, the virtual network is capable of interconnecting different planets.


    But one would need Flying Heaven Level authorization to enter.


    At this moment, within a ¡°Spectator Space¡± on the Seven Stars virtual network that demands extremely high authorization levels.


    There are powerful existences, one by one, descending their consciousness.


    They are all here to observe the battle.


    The giant screen in the distance is displaying the scene from the ¡°Seven Stars Battlefield¡± of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    A black-clad figure appeared out of thin air.


    ¡°Fang Hai has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Old Fang.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai, come sit with me.¡± Those powerful existences who were sitting at the front and chatting with one another called out to Fang Hai one after another upon seeing him.


    Those who qualify to observe here are the highest echelons within the Seven Star Civilization, either Demigods or 36th-Level Star Masters.


    They are the ones who decide the direction of the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Everyone sitting at this particular part of the Spectator Space is a Demigod.


    From their address, it was obvious that Fang Hai¡¯s status was not any less noble than that of a Demigod.


    ¡°Flame City Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Qinghe Demigod.¡± S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Elder Bai Shan.¡± Fang Hai greeted each Demigod in turn, directly addressing some Demigods by name, while respectfully calling others as elders.


    Eventually, he sat down next to a purple-dressed woman wearing a black mask.


    The seats on either side of the purple-dressed woman were empty.


    ¡°San Ye.¡± Fang Hai rarely showed a trace of a smile.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± The black-masked woman¡¯s voice was gentle but she did not pay much attention to Fang Hai.


    San Ye Demigod.


    Strength-wise, she might not be one of the top amongst the many Demigods within the Seven Star Civilization, perhaps even considered somewhat average, but her identity was extremely special¡ªshe was a close follower of Dongfang Ji and the first Vice Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Most trusted by Dongfang Ji.


    This also made many Demigods in the Seven Star Civilization very respectful of her, not wanting to offend her.


    ¡°Why are you also here to watch the battle?¡± Fang Hai initiated the conversation.


    His gaze ostensibly fell on the screen ahead, but in reality, it never left San Ye.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you here as well?¡± San Ye Demigod¡¯s voice was soft, carrying a hint of aloofness.


    ¡°I have two students participating this time, so naturally, I have to come watch.¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°There are more than thirty members from the Starfire Hall participating.¡± San Ye Demigod spoke indifferently, ¡°As the chief responsible officer of the Martial Hall, shouldn¡¯t I pay attention to it?¡±


    ¡°But you¡­¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch has appointed you as the Hall Master for Blue Star; you should take some responsibility, not leave it all to the Flying Heaven Warriors under you.¡± San Ye Demigod glanced at Fang Hai, then turned her eyes back to the distant screen.


    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Fang Hai nodded with a laugh.


    ¡°I heard you obtained the Visualization Method from a Divine Being?¡± San Ye Demigod suddenly spoke again, ¡°The Hierarch mentioned it to me yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I acquired it by chance.¡± Fang Hai nodded and added, ¡°If I have the opportunity, I will certainly help you get a Visualization Method.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    ¡°My chances of Becoming a Divine Being in this life are slim.¡± San Ye Demigod spoke lightly, ¡°You should focus more on yourself. The Hierarch has said that in the entire Civilization, you are likely the person with the highest hope of Becoming Divine. Don¡¯t let down the Hierarch¡¯s expectations.¡±


    ¡°Becoming a Divine Being?¡± A flash of light passed through Fang Hai¡¯s eyes.


    With his strength, becoming a Demigod would be a breeze; he could break through at any moment.


    But why was he still dragging his feet? Naturally, he had higher aspirations.


    ¡°Fang Hai Star Master.¡±


    A chubby old man sat down beside Fang Hai: ¡°I heard a formidable student has emerged from your sect.¡±


    ¡°Hun, you really have outdated news.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°Have you been in seclusion again recently?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just come out of seclusion.¡± The chubby old man said with a beaming smile, ¡°I heard that a formidable young chap has appeared in our Tianhai Star, so I specially came to see just how good he is.¡±


    ¡°That must be Bertman.¡±


    Another red-robed Demigod sitting not far away said with a smile, ¡°Hun Demigod, according to the reports, this Bertman should have a chance to ascend directly to Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Difficult, don¡¯t overestimate him.¡± The chubby old man laughed, but his face could not hide his smile.


    ¡°Old fat man, so you came to show off to me.¡± Fang Hai grumbled internally.


    He had no doubt about Hun Demigod¡¯s true purpose.


    For Star Master Demigods, facing ordinary Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors, they generally maintain their dignity and composure.


    But they are human too.


    In front of their peers, they tend to be much more unrestrained, with laughter, anger, and banter all being the norm.


    ¡°The first fight has begun.¡±


    San Ye Demigod suddenly pointed at the screen, ¡°Let¡¯s pay attention to The Battle of Seven Stars for now.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s started; it¡¯s a young guy who¡¯s just 20 years old.¡± Fang Hai and Hun Demigod stopped talking and focused on the screen.


    Just as Duanmu Mountain Lord had said.


    These Demigods have come to watch the battle; some are here for favored juniors, while others are indeed looking to choose outstanding disciples.


    However.


    Even if they are members of the Martial Divine Hall, if they are not outstanding enough, it would be extremely hard to catch a Demigod¡¯s eye.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside the Seven Stars Battlefield.


    According to the battle sequence, the new recruit ¡®Quiliya¡¯ had already leaped into the battlefield.


    Whether it was Duanmu Mountain Lord and his group of Flying Heaven Warriors or Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe, and others, all of them were earnestly watching the battle.


    Quiliya¡¯s first opponent was a figure encased in black armor, his face was indistinct, wielding a sword and shield, and the aura he emitted was rough and fearsome.


    The two figures stood nearly a kilometer apart, face to face, and then erupted into action simultaneously.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Boom!¡± Quiliya, wielding a great axe, moved swiftly, his whole body emitting waves of blue light as he transformed into a streak of light and shot out.


    He charged at the black figure.


    With each step, tens of thousands of pounds of force burst forth, causing the ground to tremble faintly.


    ¡°Boom! Boom!¡± The two figures had already engaged in battle, fighting fiercely.

    ...


    ¡°So weak, much weaker than I had anticipated.¡±


    Bores voiced his confusion, ¡°This Quiliya, his Physical Quality should only be around the 23rd level, right? How can he fight evenly matched?¡±


    ¡°Bores, you don¡¯t understand.¡± Dantai Feng glanced at him, ¡°In The Battle of Seven Stars, the difficulty of the first three rounds isn¡¯t fixed; it¡¯s determined according to the contenders¡¯ Physical Quality. Those with higher Physical Quality face stronger Gatekeepers, and the converse for those with lower¡­ It¡¯s also to give the newcomers some confidence.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, most newcomers, at the very least, can pass the first round. It¡¯s the third round that¡¯s much harder.¡±


    ¡°From the fourth round onwards, the Gatekeepers¡¯ strength becomes completely fixed¡­ only absolute power can break through¡­ From the fourth to the seventh round, the strength of the Gatekeepers consistently soars,¡± Dantai Feng stated seriously.


    Bores instantly fell silent.


    Alicia shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on her face.


    ¡°Quiliya is going to win,¡± Li Yuan suddenly spoke out, and everyone watched intently.


    Boom!


    Quiliya suddenly struck with his axe, and the black figure, caught off guard, was violently knocked back and sent flying.


    ¡°Quiliya, win!¡± a deep voice echoed over the battlefield.


    ¡°Won,¡± Quiliya said excitedly, swinging his arm forcefully.


    Quickly,


    the second round erupted, and this time the opponent was not humanoid, but a huge lizard-like ¡°black earth dragon.¡±


    It, too, was not a living thing, but its power was much stronger than the black Combat Armor figure of the first round.


    The first battle, Quiliya had won, but with great difficulty.


    In the second round, he lost decisively.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    One by one, the newcomers entered the battle, with most only winning the first round before losing the second.


    Even Jin Huguo and Nevsky fell in the second round.


    Only about one-third could win the second round, such as Yin Man and Kross.


    However,


    what truly surprised everyone was Alicia. She was the twenty-ninth contender, and initially, the people of Blue Star didn¡¯t rate her highly.


    After all, she hadn¡¯t made it into the top three of Blue Star¡¯s virtual battle a few months before, and in terms of age, she was about the same as Yin Man and Nevsky.


    With Nevsky losing the second round, how could she fare any better?


    Yet in reality, Alicia won! And she won the second round relatively easily!


    In the end, she lost to the third round¡¯s Gatekeeper.


    ¡°Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?¡±


    ¡°Alicia¡¯s Swordsmanship is definitely of the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank level.¡±


    ¡°She has improved so quickly.¡± Jin Huguo, Yin Man, and Nevsky were all shocked.


    They felt the terror of Alicia¡¯s Swordsmanship.


    In the virtual battles, Alicia had barely made it into the top five and eventually ranked fifth.


    But now, if there was another round, with the level of Swordsmanship Alicia has now shown, probably even Harmon and Nevsky couldn¡¯t beat her, and she would definitely be able to challenge the top three.


    ¡°Captain, how did I do? I didn¡¯t embarrass you, did I?¡± Alicia said with a smile as she returned to the Spectator Space.


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Li Yuan responded with a smile, having already noticed her extraordinary talent.


    ¡­


    ¡°This young lady, not bad.¡±


    ¡°Only 21 years old, I¡¯ve looked at her profile, she¡¯s improved rapidly in the last year,¡± many Demigods and Star Masters discussed in the Spectator Space.


    With their strength, they could easily remember the profiles of hundreds of Martial Divine Hall newcomers.


    From the perspective of a Demigod, when they evaluate someone, it¡¯s never just about current strength, but an overall assessment.


    ¡°This Alicia, not bad,¡± San Ye Semi Divine suddenly said, ¡°Her Swordsmanship has likely stepped onto the path of ¡®Ice True Intent,¡¯ which fits well with my method.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Interested in her, are you?¡± Fang Hai teased with a chuckle.


    ¡°Let¡¯s observe a bit longer,¡± replied San Ye Semi Divine in a gentle voice.


    But Fang Hai clearly understood the disposition of San Ye Semi Divine; saying so meant that he liked her very much.


    Without hesitation, Fang Hai immediately sent a message to Duanmu Hong, ¡°Duanmu, San Ye Semi Divine is thinking of taking Alicia as a disciple. After The Battle of Seven Stars is over, you should talk to Alicia.¡±

 Chapter 433 - 271: Level 10 Star Technique! The Strongest Burst! (Extra 10)

    Chapter 433: Chapter 271: Level 10 Star Technique! The Strongest Burst! (Extra 10)


    In fact, more than one demigod harbored such suspicions, and the others were also confused.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t resemble a true congealment of True Intent. If it were Sixth Stage True Intent, he could fly directly into Seven Star Mountain without even fighting.¡±


    ¡°But the might of this Spear Technique, even without the outbreak of Star Technique, even if it¡¯s just an embryo of True Intent, shouldn¡¯t be this powerful,¡± many demigods discussed among themselves.


    Members of the Martial Divine Hall entering Seven Star Mountain normally do so by winning The Battle of Seven Stars.


    Another way is by congealing the True Intent of heaven and earth.


    Once a technique reaches the Sixth Stage, one can directly enter Seven Star Mountain.


    ...


    The insight of these demigods was exceptionally profound.


    Even though they were only watching the battle through a virtual network, unable to sense the fluctuations of the force of heaven and earth, they could see that Li Yuan¡¯s strength, his speed, were not on par with the Gatekeeper¡¯s. Yet, he had managed to defeat his opponent by relying on the suddenly surged might of his Spear Technique.


    It was simply inconceivable.


    You have to understand, the Gatekeeper of the sixth barrier was set with a Physical Quality of level 29.9, and a technique skill level of Fifth Stage Perfection¡­ Normally, a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist with Fifth Stage High Rank technique, employing a Star Technique, would have a fair chance of winning.


    Take Bertman, for example, slightly at a physical disadvantage, then overwhelming his opponent by fully unleashing his technique and Star Technique.


    What about Li Yuan?


    He clearly didn¡¯t employ any Star Technique.


    ¡°Three possibilities,¡± San Ye Demigod suddenly said with a smile, ¡°First, Li Yuan might have employed an extremely inconspicuous Star Technique, erupting from within, not evident on the surface.¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s possible.¡±


    ¡°Many Star Techniques are indeed very covert when they erupt.¡± Numerous demigods nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Secondly, his weapon might be very strong,¡± San Ye Demigod said with a smile, ¡°A weapon can indeed greatly increase the might of his attack.¡±


    ¡°A weapon?¡±


    ¡°It looks very ordinary.¡±


    ¡°Prime Warriors can at most use Third Rank weapons; could it possibly be a Semi Divine Artifact?¡± The many present demigods shook their heads, in their understanding, at least a Flying Heaven Warrior is required to use a Semi Divine Artifact.


    ¡°The last possibility.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has indeed condensed True Intent!¡± San Ye Demigod said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t fully erupted yet, just like from the very first match, he¡¯s been holding back, and then suddenly unleashed Spear Technique of Fifth Stage Perfection or even the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m more inclined towards this possibility,¡± San Ye Demigod said, ¡°His Spear Technique has at least begun to form the embryo of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°True Intent?¡±


    ¡°Has Li Yuan really condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s only 19 years old, right?¡±


    ¡°No, to be precise, he¡¯s still a month shy of 19.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe he could condense True Intent so quickly.¡± These demigods found it hard to believe San Ye Demigod¡¯s deduction.


    It was truly unbelievable.


    Condensing True Intent of heaven and earth at 50, or 60, didn¡¯t make much difference in the eyes of these demigods¡­ As one¡¯s cultivation progressed further, the difference age makes becomes smaller.


    But between 19 and 29, that difference is massive.


    At 19, it indicates insufficient experience, signifies that various aspects have not yet reached their peak, yet condensing True Intent of heaven and earth¡­ How terrifying could the future be? It was simply unimaginable.


    ¡°My fellow demigods need not ponder any longer,¡± San Ye Demigod said with a laugh, ¡°As none of us can take him as an apprentice anyway, let¡¯s just wait for the final battle, and see if Li Yuan can also ascend the mountain after one battle.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±


    ¡°If he truly has condensed True Intent of heaven and earth, it is a great boon for our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, we cannot take apprentices.¡± Many demigod Star Masters spoke, some demigods expressing considerable regret.


    ¡°Take an apprentice? His path follows the Earth Vein, what apprentice can you take!¡±


    ¡°With such an extraordinary talent, taking him as an apprentice would only do him harm.¡±


    ¡°A little guidance is sufficient; the path of the divine ultimately relies on oneself.¡±


    In the midst of the demigods¡¯ discussions and exchanges, they awaited the explosion of excitement for the seventh match with considerable anticipation.


    Can Li Yuan win?


    ¡­


    It wasn¡¯t just the demigod Star Masters who were shocked.


    In the Battle of Seven Stars arena, Duanmu Mountain Master and a group of Flying Heaven Warriors were equally astonished to see Li Yuan¡¯s explosive moment.


    ¡°How did he do it?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master asked, somewhat unable to understand.


    That group of Star Master demigods, because they were watching through the virtual network, could not sense the outburst of the forces of heaven and earth¡­ but Duanmu Mountain Master, being there in person, naturally sensed it very clearly.


    When Li Yuan executed ¡°Stars Return to Ruin,¡± that thrust bursting forth, indeed the might increased significantly¡­ but it didn¡¯t seem like the eruption of the True Intent of heaven and earth.


    Moreover.


    In his heart, Duanmu Mountain Master also did not believe that Li Yuan could have condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth so quickly.


    ¡°Is it the weapon? Or an extremely inconspicuous Star Technique?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master secretly speculated, ¡°However, based on the refinement of this single thrust, it is at least the embryo of True Intent.¡±


    To reach the embryo of True Intent before even 19 years old?


    Just the thought alone made Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s heart tremble, for this was an unprecedented event in the entire history of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even Fang Hai, reached the Top Grade Origin Martial Artist status and the limit of the Fifth Stage of technique only at the age of 20.


    That was the previous historical first.


    Li Yuan, at least in terms of the speed of technique advancement, has thoroughly surpassed Fang Hai of the past.


    ¡°The seventh match.¡±


    ¡°I wonder, does Li Yuan still have hidden strength?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master felt a bit of anticipation, ¡°If he really can win a battle and ascend¡­ that would truly be a miracle.¡±


    ¡­


    Watching Li Yuan¡¯s sudden burst of victory in the sixth match, the entire spectator stands were absolutely boiling over.


    ¡°He won.¡±


    ¡°He won the sixth match without using a Star Technique?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°How did he do it?¡± Those hundreds of veteran members were shaken to their core, gazing at Li Yuan, who stood waiting alone in the arena of the Battle of Seven Stars.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°He won so easily?¡±


    ¡°Has he condensed True Intent?¡± Tavares, An Yongya, and a group of top geniuses were equally dumbfounded.


    ¡°Haha, I told you, Li Yuan could definitely win the sixth match,¡± Yu Jinghe laughed heartily, ¡°Pei Jun, isn¡¯t what I said correct?¡±

    Chapter 434: Chapter 271: Level 10 Star Technique! The Strongest Burst! (Extra 10)_2


    ¡°Someone just said that Li Yuan had a chance to win the sixth match,¡± Pei Jun teased with a smile, ¡°but now it seems that Li Yuan can win the seventh match.¡±


    ¡°Just say if he won or not,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile on his face.


    He had always paid close attention to Li Yuan, his fellow villager.


    ¡­


    ¡°Haha, won!¡±


    Yan Jing, who had been quite frustrated before, suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly, ¡°What did I tell you, Li Yuan was sure to win? He won the sixth match so easily, and he hasn¡¯t even unleashed his Star Technique.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Once he unleashes his Star Technique, he¡¯s definitely going to win the seventh match,¡± Yan Jing¡¯s mood lifted from the previous frustration, and his gaze became firm again.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°The seventh match hasn¡¯t even started, don¡¯t pop the champagne at halftime,¡± the gentle and beautiful girl scoffed, ¡°Even if he ultimately wins, is it because your judgment is good? It¡¯s just your luck!¡±


    ¡°Even if he wins, you¡¯re absolutely not allowed to bet again next time,¡± the beautiful girl said sternly.


    ¡°Okay, okay, okay,¡± Yan Jing promptly agreed.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Bertman, who had already returned to the spectator¡¯s stand, murmured to himself, never taking his eyes off of Li Yuan.


    Just now, he had been the center of attention.


    Now? Although Li Yuan had just won the sixth match, the shock he brought to all the spectators was even greater than Bertman winning the seventh match.


    After all, Li Yuan was much younger than him.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique, really impressive!¡± Dantai Feng, Alicia, and Tian Dazhuang were both excited and astonished.


    Even Alicia had not expected Li Yuan to burst forth to such an extent.


    ¡°Freak!¡±


    ¡°Huge freak! He must have cultivated a very subdued Star Technique; I even suspect he has cultivated a Supreme auxiliary Star Technique.¡± Xiao Xing¡¯s voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°in just a few months¡¯ time, he went from Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank skills directly to the Fifth Stage Limit, really, I have no idea how he cultivated.¡±


    ¡­


    Soon, the whispers in the spectator¡¯s stand quieted down.


    The entire Star Realm battlefield fell silent, hushed, as all eyes of the spectators fixated on Li Yuan in the center of the battlefield.


    Because from the other end of the battlefield, a figure in black was emerging, exuding a robust aura, a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    The seventh match was about to erupt.


    At this moment, from the loftiest Demigods to the newest members of the Martial Divine Hall, everyone wanted to know.


    Could Li Yuan win the seventh match?


    If accomplished, it would mean that Li Yuan, not yet 19 years old, would complete the feat of ¡®conquering the mountain in one battle,¡¯ an unprecedented feat in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°He¡¯s coming?¡± Li Yuan watched the man in black slowly approaching from a distance, feeling quite expectant in his heart.


    Flying Heaven Warrior?


    The ordinary boy who had once practiced spearmanship diligently in the Martial Path classroom,


    could one day truly cross spears with a Flying Heaven Warrior?


    Finally, the man in black stopped walking; he held a Combat Saber and stared gravely at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°You should know the rules,¡± the man in black said in a deep voice, ¡°have you condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth? If you have, there¡¯s no need to fight this battle.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll concede.¡± S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The man in black had watched from a great distance as Li Yuan won the sixth match.


    Whether or not one has condensed True Intent signifies a fundamental transformation.


    ¡°I have not,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    If it were just a matter of skill level, his Spear Technique ¡®Stellar Oblivion¡¯ from just before, as opposed to Bertman¡¯s final Sword Technique outburst¡­ wasn¡¯t much stronger, in reality.


    But the Black Chen Spear in his hand was a Semi Divine Artifact.


    Once in motion, the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± as a supportive Supreme Star Technique, it¡¯s enough to cause the power of the heaven and earth I channel to surge¡­ creating that terrifying thrust just before.¡±


    ¡°Good, then I won¡¯t hold back, and you be careful,¡± the man in black said softly.


    Aside from not unleashing the Star Technique and not flying, the man in black had decided to go all out.


    Because Li Yuan had indeed made him feel a great threat.


    Boom!


    The man in black acted immediately. His speed surpassed the sound barrier in an instant as he lunged towards Li Yuan.


    The distance between them was about one kilometer.


    ¡°So fast,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed, ¡°In no more than two seconds, he will be upon me.¡±


    ¡°If I had only the strength from before, I would be undoubtedly defeated.¡±


    Purely in terms of physical quality, Li Yuan was still far from the Prime Warrior¡¯s limit, not to mention compared with a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    If he could refine the True Intent of Heaven and Earth, he could compensate for this gap, but with only the rudimentary form of True Intent?


    It wasn¡¯t enough!


    Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind as he directly activated the Fifth Layer Star Veins within his body.


    Rushing Origin Power flooded in.


    Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~Countless Life Stars suddenly lit up layer by layer, triggering a marvelous transformation in Li Yuan¡¯s muscles and flesh.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure swelled in an instant, growing from over one meter eighty to around three meters tall, his skin faintly radiating a layer of earthy yellow divine light that dazzled onlookers.


    A terrifying aura of life spread in all directions.


    ¡°This?¡± Before getting close, the man in black, flying mid-air, narrowed his eyes, ¡°Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong aura?¡±


    He sensed that Li Yuan¡¯s aura had suddenly exploded, as if he had become a gigantic beast.


    ¡°Could he have cultivated this Star Technique to the Second Order Limit? Level 6? Level 8 Star Technique?¡± Many thoughts flickered through the man in black¡¯s mind, ¡°Isn¡¯t he just 19 years old? How could he have had the time to cultivate such a powerful Star Technique?¡±


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the higher the demands on the Star Meridians.


    Awakening Star Meridians takes a lot of time¡­ Therefore, subconsciously, the man in black believed that Li Yuan¡¯s Star Technique was probably only at Third Layer or Fourth Layer Star Vein.


    ¡°What robust power!¡±


    ¡°The Second Order Limit of the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ is Level 10 Star Technique; the boost to my strength is too significant.¡± Even though it wasn¡¯t the first time Li Yuan had tested this, he was still somewhat excited when he erupted with full strength.


    The powerful Body Refining Divine Technique granted him a frightening amount of strength and speed!


    While it seems slow to describe, both the man in black¡¯s attack and Li Yuan¡¯s explosive unleashing of his Star Technique happened in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Whosh!¡±


    Though shocked, the man in black didn¡¯t retreat an inch. Origin Power converged on the blade¡¯s edge, and a dazzling saber light had already torn through the Vast Sky, slashing at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s muscular hand gripped the long spear tightly. The Black Chen Spear had already reached five meters in length, moved by intent, and the combined force of Vigor and Origin Power erupted with terrifying power.


    Level 10 Star Technique, a Body Refining Divine Technique, provided a monstrous increase to physical strength, catapulting Li Yuan¡¯s power beyond the level of a Prime Warrior and up to the threshold of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    He thrust out with his spear!


    The tip of the spear harnessed the vast power of heaven and earth, executing the move ¡°Stars Return to Ruin.¡±


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s most potent outburst.


    Boom!


    It was as if a Fallen Star had collided massively, a visible shockwave of energy rushing outwards.


    The ground trembled fiercely where Li Yuan stood. Within a radius of more than ten meters, it collapsed layer upon layer. Li Yuan himself fell half a meter deep, yet from beginning to end, he hadn¡¯t retreated a single step.


    Pop!


    The man in black was sent flying backward, tumbling over a hundred meters before landing and taking a dozen more steps to finally come to a halt.


    ¡°Ah~ Poof!¡± The Flying Heaven Warrior could no longer withstand it, and a mouthful of fresh blood was violently spewed out.


    In that moment, from Demigod to the many members of the Martial Divine Hall, all were shocked at this scene.


    A direct confrontation, with just one exchange, and the Gatekeeper was injured?


    This indicated a staggering difference in strength in their head-on fight.


    ¡°I concede.¡±


    The Flying Heaven Warrior smiled wryly, ¡°If I don¡¯t use a Star Technique, even with my ability to fly, I likely can¡¯t prevail over you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, senior,¡± Li Yuan bowed in respect, his body quickly shrinking back to normal, deactivating the Star Technique.


    The consumption of Origin Power was exceptional when executing a Second Order Limit Body Refining Star Technique.


    ¡°The Seventh Battle, Li Yuan wins.¡±


    A resounding voice echoed throughout the Seven Star Battlefield, ¡°Congratulations to Li Yuan for ascending in a single battle, becoming a member of the Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°At the same time breaking the record of Seven Star Mountain, becoming its youngest ever member.¡±

 Chapter 435 - 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher

    Chapter 435: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher


    ¡°The youngest record?¡± Li Yuan mused to himself, having not paid much attention to this particular record before.


    Within the vast Seven Stars battlefield.


    ¡°This year¡¯s ¡®The Battle of Seven Stars¡¯ newcomers¡¯ performances were outstanding,¡± the sonorous voice continued, ¡°especially Bertman and Li Yuan, who both accomplished the feat of climbing in one step, a first in the history of the newcomers¡¯ battles. Li Yuan has even broken the record¡­ I hope that all members of the Martial Divine Hall will learn from them.¡±


    ¡°Alright, this year¡¯s Battle of Seven Stars is now over!¡±


    ¡°I hope everyone will cultivate diligently in the coming year and live up to expectations.¡±


    Rumble~


    ...


    Not far from the spectator seats, a grand door slowly opened. Many members of the Martial Divine Hall, quite excitedly discussing among themselves, began making their way out of the Seven Stars battlefield.


    However, Li Yuan was the main subject of their discussions, with hardly anyone talking about Bertman.


    After all, although Bertman¡¯s ¡®one-step climb¡¯ was also dazzling, compared to his age of 26, there were many in the history of the Seven Star Civilization who could match him.


    To say nothing of the fact that Lude Nef was even younger when he became a member of the Seven Star Mountain.


    And for unparalleled geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Tavares, while amazed, they didn¡¯t think themselves any less capable than Bertman.


    Li Yuan was really different, the first in the true history of the entire civilization.


    19 years old!!


    And everyone could see that Li Yuan¡¯s victory in the seventh battle was overwhelmingly dominant; his strength was far above Bertman¡¯s. How could the two even compare?


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan waved his hand, drawing the Black Chen Spear into his Storage Treasure, ready to return to the spectator seats.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t go back just yet, stay outside the Seven Stars battlefield for a while,¡± a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards the chairman¡¯s stand, recognizing the voice of Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Duanmu Hong, dressed in white, slightly nodded to signal him.


    Li Yuan contemplated, ¡°It must be about joining the members of Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    Immediately, Li Yuan leaped out hundreds of meters, clearing the ten-meter-high spectator wall, and returned to the spectator seats.


    Dantai Feng, Alicia, and the others were all waiting there.


    ¡°Li Yuan, that last spear throw was so cool,¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°Winning seven battles in a row! At first, we were worried you couldn¡¯t win six, but you hid your strength so deeply¡­ and in the end, you even deployed a Star Technique, blowing away a Flying Heaven Warrior with one spear thrust.¡±


    Dantai Feng¡¯s expression was quite exaggerated, eliciting laughter from everyone around.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll soon truly rival a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Bores, with his head of golden hair, shook his head with a wry smile, ¡°It was reckless of me.¡±


    Suddenly, he looked towards Alicia, ¡°Alicia, I apologize for disturbing you before, I shouldn¡¯t have sent you so many messages.¡±


    ¡°No worries, I blocked messages a long time ago,¡± Alicia said indifferently. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At this, the bystanders could no longer hold back their laughter, and Li Yuan also shook his head with a chuckle.


    But Bores didn¡¯t mind, as he¡¯s always been one to take things in stride.


    He knew that Li Yuan, so young and already scaling Seven Star Mountain, had a great chance of becoming a Demigod. Competing with him for Alicia? There was no hope at all.


    Moreover,


    Bores wasn¡¯t single-mindedly fond of Alicia; he simply felt she was suitable for him¡­ In the half-month since entering the Martial Divine Star Realm, he had already set his sights on many female members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    He wasn¡¯t necessarily fixated on winning over Alicia.


    ¡­¡±Li Yuan, congratulations.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, welcome to join us,¡± several voices rang out in succession. A group of people was walking down from their high seats in the spectator stands, approaching Li Yuan, each wearing a smile.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, Tavares, An Yongya,¡± Li Yuan greeted with a smile as he recognized the three.


    Though he only recognized these three.


    But the others who were able to stand alongside them must surely be the top-tier geniuses of Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Li Yuan, let me introduce you to everyone, this is¡­¡± Yu Jinghe began to introduce his companions.


    The top-tier geniuses greeted Li Yuan with a smile, all very polite.


    Li Yuan responded in kind, carefully noting each person¡¯s appearance and name.


    This scene made Jin Huguo, Yin Man, Nevsky, and the others sigh inwardly.


    Back on Blue Star, they were the proud children of heaven, the center of attention.


    After entering the Martial Divine Hall, every person here was a genius. Even Dantai Feng, with his high talent, was hardly remarkable¡­ Perhaps they would become strong in the future, but Li Yuan was already the center of attention.


    All were geniuses, indeed, but what if the top geniuses of an entire civilization were to gather?


    ¡­This scene made many of the older Martial Divine Hall members feel deeply moved: ¡°They are the top super-geniuses of Seven Star Mountain, all ranking within the top thirty, each one having comprehended True Intent. They are usually very proud, yet they are so polite to Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s different, most members of Seven Star Mountain, even if they have condensed True Intent, find it hard to catch up with them in strength, Li Yuan¡¯s strength is weaker than theirs for now, but how old is he? To catch up and even surpass them in the future is practically a certainty.¡±


    ¡°Look at Bertman, although he also climbed in one battle, Yu Jinghe and the others wouldn¡¯t go and greet him actively.¡±


    Many seasoned members of the Martial Divine Hall were well aware that even among the members of Seven Star Mountain, there were different levels.


    Those who haven¡¯t comprehended True Intent and those who have truly condensed True Intent are worlds apart.


    Only with condensed True Intent does one earn the credentials to enter the topmost circle of Seven Star Mountain.


    And now, the top-tier geniuses of this circle were already extending an early invitation to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Standing some distance away, Bertman frowned slightly as he watched the scene unfold.


    ¡­Minutes later, outside the Seven Stars battlefield.


    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Chapter 436: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_


    ¡°`


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s a deal. The day after tomorrow, once all your matters concerning joining Seven Star Mountain are settled, come to my palace residence,¡± Yu Jinghe said to Li Yuan with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll host the feast and invite everyone to participate, as a celebration for you joining Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Then I thank you, Big Brother Yu,¡± Li Yuan replied with a nod and a smile.


    Perhaps in the future, I might become a Demigod or even a Divine!


    However, a stout man needs three helpers; at the very least, for the current stage, making these good friends is beneficial.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    ...


    Yu Jinghe, Tavares, An Yongya, and more than ten others no longer lingered, transforming into streaks of light as they flew away into the sky.


    They had come to watch the battle at Yu Jinghe¡¯s invitation, specifically to observe Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s astonishing performance did not disappoint them; in fact, it could even be said to have amazed them.


    ¡°Flying!¡±


    ¡°Free as the wind and fleeting as the earth, truly exhilarating. It¡¯s just a pity that we have to become Flying Heaven Warriors to fly.¡± This scene evoked envious glances from many members of the Martial Divine Hall who had not yet boarded the flying machine.


    Only the very top-tier genius Prime Warriors were marked by their ability to move through the sky and earth.


    ¡­


    Turning around, Li Yuan made arrangements to send Dantai Feng, Alicia, and the others off on the flying machine and arranged to meet the next day.


    At this time.


    Outside the massive metal construction, all had quieted down; the hundreds of Martial Divine Hall members who had come to watch the battle had all departed¡­ With the observation ended, they needed to resume their own cultivation.


    Especially Li Yuan¡¯s performance, which greatly inspired many of them.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A somewhat stiff voice spoke up as Bertman, dressed in a blue robe, approached.


    ¡°Bertman, congratulations,¡± Li Yuan said, revealing a slight smile. It was clear that Bertman had also been left behind via a voice transmission.


    ¡°Don¡¯t congratulate me.¡± A strained smile appeared on Bertman¡¯s face. ¡°I barely managed to defeat that Flying Heaven Warrior. Compared to you, I¡¯m far behind, and I¡¯m already 26.¡±


    ¡°I watched your battle; your Sword Technique must be close to gathering True Intent,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Being able to gather True Intent before turning 30 is already very impressive. You might even gather the True Intent of heaven and earth before me.¡±


    Purely in terms of skill, the two were quite similar at the moment.


    ¡°I should just need another one or two years of Concealed Cultivation,¡± Bertman said with a hint of a smile.


    Bertman was quite confident in his Sword Technique.


    The two chatted.


    Gradually, Li Yuan realized that, while Bertman seemed aloof, he was actually not very articulate and seemed a bit introverted.


    However, since it was their first meeting, Li Yuan did not dare to determine whether the other party was pretending.


    You can know a person¡¯s face but not their heart.


    To truly understand a person¡¯s heart, it wasn¡¯t words that counted, but repeated direct cooperation.


    A few minutes later.


    Whoosh! A white streak of light flew out from the Seven Stars battlefield and landed directly in front of the two men.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°Mountain Lord,¡± Li Yuan and Bertman greeted with respect as Duanmu Hong arrived.


    ¡°You both performed very well,¡± Duanmu Hong said with a smile. ¡°Once you¡¯ve climbed the mountain, the logistics department will immediately prepare your palace halls on Seven Star Mountain. Within half a day at most, you¡¯ll receive authorization¡­ and then you¡¯ll be able to move in.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan and Bertman nodded in agreement.


    Having been in the Martial Divine Star Realm for half a month, they both understood very well that, apart from members of Seven Star Mountain¡­ other members of the Martial Divine Hall were not allowed to climb the mountain except under special circumstances.


    Some unauthorized flying machines, if they approached, risked being directly destroyed by some of the terrifying weapons hidden within Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Members of Seven Star Mountain, compared to elite and regular members, actually have four other benefits,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master, looking at the two. ¡°First is the annual increase in Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Second is the increase in privileges; you¡¯ll have the qualifications to browse and learn for free from most of the Star Techniques and Secret Manuals of the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°Third, you¡¯re eligible to take on Flying Heaven Level missions,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Flying Heaven Level missions? Li Yuan and Bertman both pondered this.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s for the resources required to cultivate powerful Star Techniques or for the exchange of formidable weapons and treasures, you¡¯ll need a large amount of Seven Stars Points,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master. ¡°But the Seven Stars Points distributed for free are limited¡­ The alliance has vast interests in various Second Level Star Realms and Third Level Star Realms and often needs powerful Prime Warriors to join in battle.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level missions offer extremely high rewards, but also come with a high risk¡­ and only Seven Star Mountain members can accept them,¡± continued the Mountain Lord.


    The two immediately understood.


    If they were not members of Seven Star Mountain, it meant they didn¡¯t have the required strength¡­ Thus, they would be ineligible to accept some of the alliance¡¯s highly rewarding missions.


    ¡°The last benefit is guidance from a Demigod,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master. ¡°The alliance will dispatch a Demigod or some extremely powerful Flying Heaven Star Lord¡­ to provide guidance on your cultivation for two years.¡±


    Both Li Yuan and Bertman¡¯s eyes brightened.


    So, members of Seven Star Mountain still had such a privilege.


    ¡°This does not constitute an apprenticeship but is mere guidance. Do either of you have any requests? If not, the alliance will arrange a Demigod based on your weapon and True Intent Law tendencies,¡± said the Mountain Lord.


    The two fell into thought, and Duanmu Mountain Master did not urge them.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Mountain Lord, I have no objections,¡± Bertman shook his head. ¡°I just need a Water System Demigod to guide me.¡±


    ¡°And you, Li Yuan?¡± the Mountain Lord turned to Li Yuan. ¡°Shall the alliance randomly arrange an Earth System Demigod for you?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    Li Yuan hesitated slightly, saying, ¡°I hope the alliance can arrange for a Wind System Demigod to guide my cultivation.¡±


    ¡°A Wind System Demigod?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master frowned.


    Having a Demigod personally guide someone was an incredibly rare opportunity. Yet, rather than focusing on a single path¡­ Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He actually wanted a Wind System Demigod for guidance?


    Even Bertman looked towards Li Yuan in surprise; he had just witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s battle¡­ The man was clearly of the Earth Vein

    Chapter 437: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_3


    ¡°Do you not realize¡­¡± Duanmu Mountain Master was just about to rebuke when he suddenly recalled Fang Hai¡¯s parting words and forcefully stopped himself.


    ¡°Are you certain?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s tone shifted abruptly.


    He looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Although your talent is high, you have yet to truly condense your True Intent¡­ Are you considering diverting your attention to the Wind Vein at this point? And you haven¡¯t truly entered the threshold of the Wind Vein yet, have you?¡±


    ¡°Not yet.¡±


    ¡°But the junior wants to try.¡± Li Yuan responded earnestly, of course, he could deduce the intention behind Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s words.


    The Law of the Great Dao is extremely challenging.


    ...


    Even for Flying Heaven Warriors, condensing True Intent is difficult; let alone truly stepping into the threshold of the Law¡­ Focusing solely on one path might still not guarantee becoming a Demigod.


    The hope of becoming a Demigod becomes even more distant once distracted.


    However, Li Yuan had his own considerations; he had once resonated with divine consciousness and was very clear about how terrifyingly powerful the combination of different Laws¡¯ mysteries could be¡­ And these past few days, he had also been practicing with his spear, attempting to trigger the Wind Fluctuations.


    The Wind Fluctuations of heaven and earth! Although Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension was slow, it still brought him considerable joy.


    Li Yuan liked this path very much.


    The most important point, in Li Yuan¡¯s view, was that with the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and the ¡°Map of Myriad Stars¡± as a guide¡ª even if another Earth System Semi Divine were to provide guidance, his cultivation efficiency might not improve by much.


    However.


    If a Wind System Semi Divine were to provide targeted guidance for his cultivation of the Wind Vein, the significance would be completely different.


    Although Duanmu Mountain Master was displeased inwardly, seeing Li Yuan¡¯s firm stance, he refrained from further persuasion, ¡°Fine, I will submit your request¡­ But there are not many Wind System Semi Divines in the alliance, and there may not be anyone willing to mentor you. You should prepare yourself mentally.¡±


    ¡°After all, the alliance can¡¯t force a Semi Divine to provide guidance.¡±


    ¡°The Semi Divines themselves also choose whom they want to guide among the Seven Star Mountain members,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master added.


    ¡°The junior understands.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Good teachers prefer intelligent students¡­ and since he had yet to reveal his talent in the Wind Vein, those Wind System Semi Divines might not be willing to waste time on him.


    ¡°Alright, you can go back now and wait for the notification,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master instructed.


    ¡­


    He watched as Li Yuan and Bertman left on their respective flying machines.


    ¡°The Wind Vein?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master frowned. ¡°This Li Yuan is truly acting recklessly. No matter how exceptional he may be, he should not waste his talent like this.¡±


    ¡°Let those above worry about it.¡±


    Duanmu Mountain Master immediately began to send a transmission.


    ¡­


    In the special Spectator Space of the virtual network, many of the watching Semi Divines were gradually leaving.


    Li Yuan¡¯s performance had indeed caused them to marvel, but nothing more than that.


    As the pinnacle existences within their civilization, Semi Divines are also extremely proud beings.


    From Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven Warrior, to Semi Divine¡­ Li Yuan has a long way to go to reach their level.


    Yet Fang Hai, the San Ye Semi Divine, was still waiting here, seemingly awaiting news.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°There¡¯s news,¡± the San Ye Semi Divine spoke up, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes, ¡°Li Yuan is seeking guidance from a Wind System Semi Divine.¡±


    ¡°A Wind System Semi Divine?¡± Fang Hai was equally astonished.


    ¡°This young fellow is somewhat capricious.¡± San Ye Semi Divine shook her head, ¡°Although some Flying Heaven Warriors and Semi Divines venture to explore a second path, most only choose to do so when they cannot progress any further on their primary path due to reaching a bottleneck¡­ He¡¯s already started to condense the embryo of his Stellar True Intent on the Earth Vein, so how high is his talent there? And yet he wishes to be distracted by comprehending the Wind Vein?¡±


    ¡°As his principal, shouldn¡¯t you persuade him?¡± San Ye Semi Divine looked towards Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai also furrowed his brows; he didn¡¯t understand Li Yuan¡¯s decision either.


    However.


    Fang Hai and San Ye Semi Divine, as well as Duanmu Hong, had different understandings¡­ He was well aware of how terrifying Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridian talent was.


    Knowing different pieces of information naturally led to seeing things differently.


    ¡°No need,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°But don¡¯t rush to invite those Wind System Semi Divines¡­ those few will certainly not be willing to guide him.¡±


    Fang Hai knew very well.


    Semi Divines are proud.


    They might recognize Li Yuan¡¯s talent in the Earth Vein, but that doesn¡¯t mean they acknowledge his talent in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°First, report to the Master,¡± Fang Hai said gravely, ¡°and see what the Master thinks.¡±


    ¡°Report such a trivial matter to the Alliance Hierarch?¡± San Ye Semi Divine was surprised.


    ¡°As long as it concerns Li Yuan, you report it,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°The Master will definitely not blame you.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± San Ye Semi Divine frowned, suddenly recalling the command issued by Dongfang Ji last time.


    Combining that with what Fang Hai just said.


    San Ye Semi Divine realized¡­ there might be significant secrets about Li Yuan that she was unaware of.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be going now.¡± San Ye Semi Divine stood up, and her figure thunderously vanished.


    The immense Battle Observation Hall.


    Only Fang Hai remained seated alone.


    ¡°San Ye teacher,¡± Fang Hai sighed inwardly.


    Once upon a time, he too had climbed the Seven Star Mountain and received guidance from a Semi Divine.


    And the Semi Divine who guided him was none other than San Ye Semi Divine. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Just wait,¡±


    ¡°San Ye teacher,¡± Fang Hai showed a hint of a smile, ¡°you reject me now, feeling that we differ in generations and there is still a gap in strength¡­ But once I become a Demigod, surely no one will question it anymore.¡±


    A Demigod boasts a lifespan of a thousand years, with everlasting youth.


    As Fang Hai knew, among the many Foreign Civilizations, Semi Divines not only pair up despite an age gap of less than a hundred years but even couples with two hundred, three hundred years difference¡­ are not uncommon.


    ¡­


    Within the highest headquarters of Starfire Martial Hall, in a conference room.


    A woman in white, wearing a black mask, stepped out of the highest-level virtual pod.


    Through the mask, only her eyes could be seen, cold as ice.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± San Ye Semi Divine suddenly looked down at her smart ring, a flash of shock passing through her eyes, which displayed a single message: ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±

 Chapter 438 - 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_4

    Chapter 438: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_4


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, have you already responded to me so quickly, and you agreed?¡± San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s heart stirred with towering waves.


    Just now, she reported to Dongfang Ji at the first opportunity, her heart still quite uneasy.


    According to San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s understanding,


    this kind of thing, Dongfang Ji would almost certainly not agree¡­ but she could have never imagined!


    ¡°Li Yuan, does he really hold such weight in the heart of the Alliance Hierarch?¡± San Ye Semi Divine secretly marveled, ¡°What exactly makes him so special?¡±


    Is it simply because of his high martial arts talent?


    ...


    It doesn¡¯t seem like it!


    Martial arts talent alone, if high now, doesn¡¯t ensure one can smoothly become a Semi Divine or reach even higher levels¡­ The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties, and countless peerless talents are trapped at bottlenecks.


    ¡°But the Alliance Hierarch actually supports Li Yuan¡¯s decision?¡± San Ye Semi Divine mused to herself.


    She was very clear about the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s terrifying strength, which was absolutely beyond all Semi Divines.


    Even the second-strongest of the Seven Star Civilization, ¡®Lant Semi Divine¡¯, was far behind the Alliance Hierarch, and the gap was growing larger and larger.


    San Ye Semi Divine could not forget.


    Decades ago, that large group of Semi Divines from Myriad Demons Civilization trying to invade Feixing¡­ After that battle, Myriad Demons Civilization fell completely silent, never stirring up a large-scale war again.


    It was not that Myriad Demons Civilization had given up.


    It was that they were cowed by the killing, creating more and more Semi Divines, as if they weren¡¯t enough for Dongfang Ji¡¯s slaughter. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Thus was forged the name of an invincible Semi Divine.


    ¡°It seems,¡±


    ¡°from now on, I must be more cautious in dealing with Li Yuan,¡± San Ye Semi Divine sighed silently.


    ¡­


    On the afternoon of the day that The Battle of Seven Stars ended, Li Yuan had already received a notice to move into Seven Star Mountain.


    He relocated directly.


    The villas on Seven Star Mountain, while not fundamentally different from those on the ground, were more immense¡­ and they came with more advanced sparring robots, as well as a richer array of free resources.


    The next day,


    Li Yuan hosted a banquet for Dantai Feng, Alicia, and a number of other friends, as a celebration of his ascent to Seven Star Mountain¡­ There were dedicated dining venues within the Martial Divine Star Realm, offering exquisite dishes, all of the highest quality.


    However, the prices were also staggeringly high, a single meal costing tens of millions of Blue Star Coins being quite normal, but it was not much for members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    On the third day, Li Yuan attended a larger banquet hosted by Yu Jinghe.


    It also let Li Yuan meet many more top talents of Seven Star Mountain, truly integrating him into this circle.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and after two banquets, Li Yuan truly began his cultivation journey on Seven Star Mountain.


    In reality, it was no different from his Concealed Cultivation on the ground.


    No matter how good the external environment, the process of cultivation is the same¡­ one must strive step by step.


    And the advancement of skills, that required endless self-reflection and effort.


    However,


    Duanmu Mountain Master had not yet notified him of the ¡®Semi Divine master¡¯, and Li Yuan was not in a rush.


    Without instruction from a Wind System Semi Divine for his Wind Vein¡­ it made little difference if only an Earth System Semi Divine came.


    ¡­


    July 25th.


    Feixing, Prajna Sea.


    This was an extremely mysterious region of Feixing, vast and expansive, but with perpetual gale-force winds of up to category twelve, the natural environment was tremendously harsh, thus almost no one set foot there.


    In the deep sea, where the gales howled, there lay an island just a few kilometers in circumference, craggy with rocks, bereft of virtually any vegetation.


    At the peak of this small island,


    a figure dressed in simple hemp clothes sat cross-legged on a giant stone, facing the howling wind and crashing waves, eyes shut. His facial features were cut sharp and clear, as if he were a special kind of sculpture, perfectly merging with the natural world.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Lie Feng,¡± a deep voice seemed to come from the void, imbued with a powerful will.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The middle-aged man in hemp clothes slowly opened his eyes, first in confusion, ¡°Dongfang?¡±


    ¡°You, have you already condensed the will of the Law?¡± The man in hemp clothes showed a flash of shock in his eyes.

    ¡°Law Will? Is achieving this step very difficult?¡± A deep voice echoed amid the howling winds and raging waves.


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man was at a loss for words.


    But when he thought of the other party¡¯s terrifying battle record, he came to terms with it.


    For other demigods, reaching this step is indeed difficult, almost impossible in some sense.


    But the other party is Dongfang Ji, then anything is possible.


    ¡°Given your personality, to reveal a bit and hide three, if you dare to openly converge Law Will in front of me, I can no longer gauge your true strength,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said with a slight shake of his head, ¡°If one day you suddenly appear in front of me, already having formed a Divine Shadow, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised.¡±


    ...


    ¡°To become a divine being has no meaning for me,¡± the deep voice said indifferently. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man nodded lightly, ¡°With your peerless talent, your ultimate goal must be to break through the Ninth Mountain world. Among the many demigods I know of in various civilizations, if anyone has hope, it¡¯s probably only you.¡±


    ¡°Speak, Dongfang, you haven¡¯t sought me out in decades, what brings you here?¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said slowly.


    ¡°Help me guide a junior,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°A Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Prime Warrior?¡± The burlap-clad middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then nodded, ¡°No problem. How far has he comprehended the Wind Vein? Has he formed any semblance of True Intent?¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t truly started yet,¡± the deep voice said indifferently.


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man was taken aback.


    Soon, the deep voice had outlined the general situation of Li Yuan to the burlap-clad middle-aged man.


    ¡°19 years old, and already has a semblance of True Intent?¡± The burlap-clad middle-aged man¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, ¡°This young lad¡¯s talent in the Earth Vein is absolutely extremely high. With your help, perhaps in a few decades, the Seven Star Civilization will once again give birth to a powerful demigod¡­ Why would you think of letting him comprehend the Wind Vein?¡±


    ¡°He has the talent for it,¡± the deep voice said slowly, ¡°And with enough time, naturally, he should be allowed to attempt it.¡±


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man shook his head; he couldn¡¯t comprehend the other¡¯s reasoning.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Earth, wind.¡± An idea flashed across the burlap-clad middle-aged man¡¯s mind as if realizing something, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You want him to take that path?¡±


    ¡°What path?¡± the deep voice was very calm.


    ¡°Dongfang, there¡¯s no need to play dumb with me, I¡¯ve also entered that domain,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said, shaking his head, ¡°Your ambition is too great, even now you wish for this junior¡­ If he takes a wrong step, his future could be completely destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Success comes with failure, hope comes with destruction,¡± the deep voice said indifferently, ¡°Without sacrifice, how can there be great achievement?¡±


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man said no more.


    ¡°I owe you my life, which I cling to this day, so teaching him is not a problem,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said softly, ¡°But I only promise to teach for half a year. If his talent in the Wind Vein is too poor¡­ it¡¯s not worth my time to waste.¡±


    ¡°If his talent is decent, I will do my best to teach him,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I still trust the character of Lie Feng,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°Will you go to see him, or shall I have him come to you?¡±


    ¡°I shall go see him,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Hum~


    The terrifying will that had enveloped the sea area had suddenly dissipated, leaving only the burlap-clad middle-aged man sitting alone.


    ¡°Law Will?¡±


    ¡°To become a demigod in just over a hundred years and to have reached this step,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man sighed internally, recalling when they first met.


    At that time, the strength of both parties was not much different, or it could be said that the burlap-clad middle-aged man was slightly stronger.


    But to this day, their realms are worlds apart.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°I hope his talent isn¡¯t too weak, teaching him for a while would be enough to fulfill a promise to Dongfang.¡±


    ¡°If his talent is too weak, just make do for half a year,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man didn¡¯t really care about Li Yuan.


    People¡¯s talents tend to be limited, in his view, Li Yuan¡¯s talent in the Earth Vein is already extremely high. The talent for the Wind Vein? Inevitably, it won¡¯t be as high.


    If it were any other Wind System Semi Divine, out of friendliness and investment in the future, perhaps someone would be willing to teach.


    But the burlap-clad middle-aged man did not care about these things because he was close to death.


    What would a dying man, with no younger generations to care for, bother about these things for?


    ¡­


    Martial Divine Star Realm.


    The clouds and mist around Seven Star Mountain were swirling.


    On the mountainside of one of the peaks, in the open square in front of a villa mansion, a flying machine hovered.


    Dressed in black, Li Yuan was sitting quietly at the very front of the square, with thousands of meters of void not far from him.


    Li Yuan, facing the breeze, overlooked the vast expanse beneath him.


    ¡°The Earth Vein seems to be lively,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power could vaguely sense that in every palace on the peaks, there were inhabitants.


    The entire Seven Star Mountain is divided into seven peaks.


    Not by the ownership of the Seven Great Planets¡­ but rather by attribute.


    Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder¡­ distributed according to the cultivation of the seven veins, these are the seven main types of Origin Power most commonly seen in the world.


    This arrangement is mainly to facilitate the exchange among members of the Seven Star Mountain who cultivate the same vein and also makes teaching easier.


    But since entering Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan quickly found that the members of the Seven Star Mountain on the seven peaks who contemplate the Wind and Thunder veins are very few.


    Single digits.


    ¡°The rumors from before are indeed true; most of the strong in my Seven Star Civilization contemplate the Five Elements,¡± he thought.


    ¡°So far, the Seven Star Civilization has created seven high-rank Cultivation Methods; two for cultivating Earth Origin Power, two for Water Origin Power, and one each for Fire, Metal, and Wood Origin Power,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°There aren¡¯t specific Cultivation Techniques for the Wind and Thunder veins.¡±


    Which is to say.


    In the Seven Star Civilization, those warriors belonging to these two veins¡­ almost all rely on their own Law Creation to become Flying Heaven Warriors, demigods, hence their number is naturally much fewer.


    Li Yuan believed that many people¡¯s talents within the civilization were buried.


    Of course, there¡¯s a very small number of powerful warriors who, although initially cultivated Origin Power of the Five Elements¡­ gradually feel during long-term cultivation that they are more suited to contemplate the Mysteries of Wind and Thunder, and would then shift their direction of cultivation.


    But such strong men are rare; most warriors would still try to comprehend the True Intent mysteries corresponding to the attribute of the Origin Power they¡¯ve cultivated.


    After all, if the Origin Power cultivated falls within a certain vein, the compatibility with that vein tends to also be higher.


    ¡°According to Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s implication,¡±


    ¡°In the entire civilization, there seem to be only two or three Wind System demigods,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°They might not necessarily be willing to guide me¡­ I¡¯ll leave it to fate.¡±


    ¡°I made a connection through consciousness resonance with the Divine, and by following the Divine Spear Technique¡¯s guidance, I was able to cultivate the Wind Vein as well.¡±


    ¡°Try it out for a while first.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s still not much of a clue, then put it aside for the time being.¡± Li Yuan was not in a hurry.


    Since inheriting from the Ancient Torch Divine in the Hall of Inheritance, his cultivation pursued the path of following his heart¡¯s desires.


    The vast and profound weight of the earth, its inclusiveness of all things, brought him joy.


    The unpredictable agility of the wind brought him joy as well.


    ¡°What brings joy to my heart and strengthens the prowess of my spear technique is the path I should follow.¡± Li Yuan adhered to this principle in his heart.


    Just like these past days, he was not keen on spending much time in the Martial Arts Room but preferred the outdoors instead.


    Sitting at the edge of the square, he faced the roaring wind.


    Often, he would sit there for most of the day.


    ¡°No wonder Dean Hai enjoys fishing.¡± A smile appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s face as he recalled his conversation with Dean Hai.


    Dean Hai had said that fishing was a form of cultivation and that one would naturally understand and realize its essence once they reached that level.


    Back then, Li Yuan did not understand.


    But now? Li Yuan understood.


    ¡°All the mysteries of heaven and earth are hidden in life, hidden between heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Comprehending the mysteries of nature from its operations¡­ far surpasses pondering in seclusion.¡±


    Ordinary martial artists, they immerse themselves in arduous practice, because their realm is still at the level of ¡®technique¡¯.¡±


    But once they stepped into the Fifth Stage, body and mind, from the inside out, are close to the way of ¡®path¡¯.¡±


    The embryonic form of True Intent is the threshold to entering the path.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm? Group message?¡± Li Yuan felt his smart wristband vibrate and couldn¡¯t help but look down.


    It was a ¡®V group¡¯ message from the members of the Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level Task: Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s recruitment, the specifics are¡­¡±


    Li Yuan quickly glanced at it. It was a war task from the Mingxu Star Realm, where the Seven Star Civilization was at war with the Tianliang Civilization, needing Flying Heaven-level warriors to provide support, divided into defense tasks and attack tasks.


    Requirements: Members of the Seven Star Mountain can accept defense tasks, but only the top thirty members of the Seven Star Mountain may accept attack tasks.


    ¡°Top 30? Does this mean that only those who have comprehended the True Intent are qualified to take up the task?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    On the entire Seven Star Mountain, there were about thirty top geniuses who had condensed True Intent.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan glanced at his own ranking on the Seven Star Mountain: 118th.


    Second to last.


    Only one spot higher than Bertman.


    The Seven Star Mountain ranking was sorted based on true strength and points earned from completed tasks.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered slightly as he saw a private message sent to him by Yu Jinghe. He thought to himself, ¡°Big Brother Yu has taken up this attack task and is preparing to return to Xia Country?¡±


    ¡°Stay safe,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    Li Yuan had his own conjectures.


    The war between the Mingxu Star Realm and the Tianliang Clan was mainly driven by Blue Star, or to be more precise, by Xia Country.


    Now, the posting of this war task on the Seven Star Mountain hopes to bring participation from the top geniuses of the entire civilization for assistance.


    Most likely, they were encountering significant difficulties.


    Many war tasks, unless like in the case of the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯s World within Worlds that involves a Divine Being Inheritance¡­ the alliance¡¯s highest echelons would not mandate top geniuses under their command to participate in war.


    These life-and-death tasks are mostly left to the geniuses to choose for themselves.


    But the fact that Yu Jinghe decided so quickly to go must mean that Xia Country had made a request¡­ Just like in the many great battles of the Rob Sea, Yu Jinghe¡¯s figure was present.


    ¡°My Xia Country has many geniuses in the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But there are only two who have comprehended True Intent.¡±


    One was Yu Jinghe!


    The other was named ¡®Luo Chan¡¯, whom Li Yuan had never met.


    As for top geniuses like Pei Jun who had Xia Country bloodlines, there were also some on the Seven Star Mountain, but they were born on Feixing and had very little sense of belonging to Xia Country.


    ¡°Once I comprehend True Intent and elevate my Physical Quality to the limit of a Prime Warrior, if there is a suitable opportunity, I can also take part in the battle,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Straight away, Li Yuan stopped dwelling on it.


    With his current strength, he wasn¡¯t yet qualified to take part in such large-scale wars.


    To rush into it carelessly would make it easy to die in battle.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    As night slowly set in, Li Yuan was still sitting in the square, letting the wind blow over him, silently sensing the fluctuations of the wind between heaven and earth.


    Suddenly¡ª


    A figure in white approached silently, and when it was within a hundred meters, Li Yuan immediately sensed the presence and opened his eyes.


    An invisible pressure enveloped heaven and earth.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully as the visitor was none other than the Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Whoosh!


    Duanmu Mountain Master approached, smiling. ¡°You have such a keen perception. Your spiritual power must be approaching the peak of Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°There is still much lacking, I¡¯m nowhere near the Mountain Lord,¡± Li Yuan replied with great respect.


    These past days, Li Yuan had come to understand Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s strength. Perhaps he was not like Dean Fang Hai, but within the whole Seven Star Civilization, he was also amongst the most elite right below the demigods.


    Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to guard the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be modest,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile. ¡°I have come to notify you that your Wind System Semi Divine teacher has arrived. He is currently waiting for you outside the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, and he couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Mountain Lord, which Semi Divine is it? The Snow Dragon Semi Divine? Or the Wind Fox Semi Divine?¡±


    These were the two Wind System Semi Divines Li Yuan knew of.


    ¡°Neither.¡±


    ¡°It is an Alien Race Semi Divine,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master shook his head. ¡°To be precise, he¡¯s one of the ¡®honorary Semi Divines¡¯ of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°He is also one of the oldest Semi Divines living within our Seven Star Civilization, not far from his end.¡±

 Chapter 440 - 274 Lie Feng Preaches (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    Chapter 440: Chapter 274 Lie Feng Preaches (Seeking Monthly Tickets)


    ¡°A guest demigod? An alien race demigod?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    There¡¯s such a thing within the Seven Star Civilization?


    ¡°Mountain Lord, why didn¡¯t I find any information about this in the database?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°There¡¯s not a single piece of news.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised.¡±


    ¡°When it involves demigods, much of the information is secret. Once you become a Star Master, you¡¯ll naturally come to know the many secrets of our entire civilization,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s more than one alien race guest demigod in our Seven Star Civilization, but this Lie Feng Semi Divine is the oldest¡­ In fact, I had only heard about him from other demigods before and have never seen him. It¡¯s all very mysterious.¡±


    ¡°More than one guest demigod? Do they all live on Feixing?¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.


    ...


    ¡°Yes,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master nodded.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid something will go wrong?¡± Li Yuan was confused, for in his understanding, demigods were already at the pinnacle of force in the entire civilization.


    Keeping these aliens within the clan, how dangerous is that?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with the Alliance Hierarch around, they can¡¯t turn the heavens upside down,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a laugh. ¡°Moreover, these guest demigods¡­ either are demigods born in the Star Realm or are those who fled here after their entire civilization was destroyed. They generally don¡¯t have conflicts of interest with our civilization.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Without the entanglement of a race or civilization, potential conflicts would indeed be much smaller.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk while we walk,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master waved his hand, and an invisible force enveloped Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards the higher atmosphere of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡­


    ¡°Mountain Lord, there won¡¯t be any danger, will there?¡± Li Yuan was still quite wary of the alien race demigods.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    Duanmu Mountain Master glanced at Li Yuan, noticing his concern: ¡°Normally, this Lie Feng Semi Divine wouldn¡¯t come to instruct you. His strength is terrifying¡­ it was the Alliance Hierarch who invited him.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch?¡± Li Yuan was secretly alarmed, the senior Dongfang Ji?


    His worries dissipated somewhat, as he still had quite a bit of trust in Dongfang Ji.


    Even though the two had not yet met.


    ¡­


    After flying for a long time, Duanmu Mountain Master carried Li Yuan across more than two hundred kilometers in the high sky, having passed many peripheral structures like the Battle of Seven Stars.


    Finally, they arrived at a high mountain that rose from the wilderness, reaching over a kilometer in height.


    The mountainside was lush and verdant with trees undulating in waves.


    At the peak of the mountain was a giant plateau, as if cleaved by a combat saber, unobstructed, with many aircraft parked on it.


    Large buildings were constructed on either side of the plateau.


    And at the center, there was even a lake.


    But what really captured Li Yuan¡¯s attention was the enormous star portal at the top of the mountain, hundreds of meters long, as if leading to another world, its surface subtly rippling.


    One could faintly glimpse the scene on the other side.


    Such a large Star Realm entrance.


    No wonder the principal directly flew the aircraft into the Martial Divine Star Realm last time.


    ¡°This is the entrance and exit to the Martial Divine Star Realm. You will be following Lie Feng Semi Divine for training, and it¡¯s estimated you¡¯ll often go out for training,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master instructed. ¡°I¡¯ve given you access, you can use the flying vehicles for daily travel.¡±


    Li Yuan listened carefully.


    ¡°But remember, when traveling on Feixing, try not to reveal your identity,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    In the Martial Divine Hall members¡¯ manual, it is clearly stated that unless one condenses True Intent, it is not allowed to go out during the first year¡­ Even for older members, at least they have to get through the fourth match of the Battle of Seven Stars before they can go out.


    Those who can win the fourth match often have strength that is considered powerful even among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists.


    With such strength, one is deemed to have the ability to protect oneself.


    Otherwise, once one¡¯s whereabouts or news leaked, any member of the Martial Divine Hall would be a worthy target for assassination by a Foreign Civilization.


    Whoo! Whoo!


    Duanmu Mountain Master flew into the giant star portal with Li Yuan¡­ Hiss~ Accompanied by a slight feeling of discomfort, it felt like water sliding over the body.


    They traveled in a stream of light for quite a while.


    This feeling was very strange. In the past, when Li Yuan traversed the Star Realms, he mostly sat on trains¡­ and when traversing star portals between planets, the pressure was much less.


    Whoosh~


    The two finally arrived at the other end.


    This was an immensely large warbase. They were now at a broad internal airfield with numerous flying vehicles hovering¡­ with a huge ring-shaped passage overhead that could be sealed at any time.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Lie Feng Semi Divine is waiting outside the base,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master took Li Yuan.


    Under the watchful eyes of many officers and martial artists, they soared into the sky and passed through the passageway to the outside of the vast warbase.


    Looking out, the vast land stretched to the horizon.


    Shortly thereafter, the two arrived at a small hill about ten kilometers from the base.


    There was a cool pavilion on the hilltop, and the two slowly descended. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, go ahead, Lie Feng Semi Divine is over there,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master pointed to the distance and said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards the pavilion a hundred meters away where a middle-aged man in hemp clothing was sitting.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan deployed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level exceeds the limit of inquiry, killing may obtain Spiritual Nature nourishment],¡± Li Yuan looked at the inquiry result and felt a jolt in his heart.


    Indeed, an alien race demigod!


    But Li Yuan also understood in his heart.


    The fact that Dongfang Ji, the senior, specially invited this person over instead of seeking one of the other Wind System Semi Divines within the Alliance¡­ clearly demonstrated the individual¡¯s strength.


    Most likely, in the eyes of Dongfang Ji, this person was the most suitable to be his Wind System teacher.


    Just like that.


    Under the watchful eye of Duanmu Mountain Master, Li Yuan walked to the outside of the pavilion, bowed, and said, ¡°Junior Li Yuan, greets the teacher.¡±


    Hu!


    The middle-aged man in hemp clothes, who had been staring into the distance, seemed to have only just noticed and turned his head to look at Li Yuan. His eyes were full of vicissitudes and seemed to tell a story.


    An invisible oppression spread in all directions, enveloping Li Yuan entirely.


    Demigod!


    This was the terrifying aura belonging to a demigod, unabashedly displayed, yet the middle-aged man in hemp did not utter a word.


    Gradually, Li Yuan began to sweat profusely from his forehead.


    But he was still enduring, resisting this pressure.


    Had the other party deployed a Spiritual Shock, Li Yuan might not have been able to withstand the assault of a demigod at the peak of his power¡­ but merely the oppressive atmosphere was still bearable.


    After a long moment.


    ¡°Not bad, at such a young age, your spiritual will is indeed extraordinary,¡± the middle-aged man in hemp finally spoke.


    The terrible oppression that had disseminated just now vanished in an instant, and Li Yuan immediately felt at ease.


    The middle-aged man in hemp said in a cool voice, ¡°Under 19 years of age, with such accomplishments, no wonder your Alliance Hierarch speaks so highly of you.¡±


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan said with even more respect, realizing that what had just occurred was a small test for him.


    ¡°No need to call me teacher; I didn¡¯t say I would take you as a disciple.¡±


    ¡°I have only agreed to teach you for six months at the request of your Alliance Hierarch,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine in an indifferent voice. ¡°You can call me Lie Feng Semi Divine, or Senior Lie Feng.¡±


    ¡°Whatever the reason the teacher has for instructing me, since you are teaching me, I naturally should address you as teacher,¡± Li Yuan insisted.


    ¡°As you wish,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine was indifferent, ¡°Step forward.¡±


    Li Yuan approached respectfully.


    ¡°I am aware of many of your deeds; your talent in the Earth Vein is extremely high. If you focused on this, you could probably step into the threshold of Law and become a demigod in no more than twenty years,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile. ¡°So why do you want to learn the Wind Vein? To my knowledge, you don¡¯t seem to have achieved much in the Wind Vein.¡±


    Li Yuan hesitated.


    He wasn¡¯t foolish. If Lie Feng Semi Divine asked such a question, there must be a reason.


    ¡°One reason is the pursuit of the ultimate in Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly. ¡°I practice spear techniques, and I feel that the mere Stellar True Intent is not enough for the mightiness of spear techniques.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, I personally like the Wind Vein,¡± Li Yuan spoke frankly. ¡°Of course, the most important point is that I do have a certain talent in the Wind Vein.¡±


    He was mostly speaking the plain truth.


    ¡°Like?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head with a smile. ¡°Regardless of which path you take, the ultimate goal is to step through the door of Law, to become a demigod or even a divine being.¡±


    ¡°Do you know what the difference is between comprehending one law alone and comprehending multiple laws?¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head involuntarily.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s the Earth Vein or the Wind Vein¡­ each is a part of the world¡¯s Mystery,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly. ¡°The world is vast, the Law of the Great Dao is like an ocean, and condensing True Intent is merely grasping a drop of water from the ocean.¡±


    ¡°The so-called metal, wood, water, fire, and so on are just our artificial divisions,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile. ¡°But in fact, the operation of Laws in the world is an entirety.¡±


    ¡°Similar to a civilization, which is a whole, but for better social division of labor, we artificially categorize it into various professions.¡±


    Li Yuan fell into contemplation.


    ¡°Comprehending one law allows for faster and more stable progress, but this path has its limits and bottlenecks,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke slowly. ¡°The further you go, the harder it becomes to proceed.¡±


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s enough to support you in becoming a divine being,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said. ¡°Even divine beings have only comprehended a very small part of the mysteries of Law.¡±


    Li Yuan listened closely.


    ¡°When you comprehend multiple laws, their induced various fluctuations in the world are interrelated,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said. ¡°Although they influence each other, occasionally they may trigger each other, making it easier to break through certain bottlenecks at times.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, many demigods, even divine beings, after practicing for hundreds or thousands of years and getting stuck in a bottleneck on one path of the Great Dao, will often try to comprehend other Laws.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded silently; Duanmu Mountain Master had mentioned this to him before.


    ¡°One more point, comprehending multiple laws and combining their mysteries can compensate for the weaknesses of different laws, and the resulting strength is indeed extremely terrifying,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t all these good things?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help interjecting.


    ¡°With good comes bad.¡±


    ¡°Every matter in the world has a dual nature,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head and said. ¡°First and foremost, to exert the power of Law¡¯s mystery, you must cultivate powerful Star Techniques. For example, for the Wind Vein, you typically need to cultivate various Star Techniques like Clone and Escaping Techniques, and use them in combination to maximize your strength, becoming as elusive as the wind when escaping and as swift as lightning when killing.¡±


    ¡°Whereas the Earth Vein typically involves cultivating direct combat Star Techniques, such as Body Refining Star Techniques, Domain Star Techniques, and so on,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine. ¡°However, everyone¡¯s awakening of Star Meridians is limited, and the Star Techniques one can cultivate are also limited¡­ To multi-cultivate actually makes it very difficult to bring a particular aspect to the utmost.¡±

 Chapter 441 - 275: Cultivating between Heaven and Earth! Condensing True Intent (Extra 11)

    Chapter 441: Chapter 275: Cultivating between Heaven and Earth! Condensing True Intent (Extra 11)


    ¡°`


    Star Meridians limited?


    The number of Star Techniques one can cultivate is limited? Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred slightly.


    He had actually considered this point before.


    But he was not as pessimistic as Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors and Demigods worry because most of them have Five-Star Meridians.


    ...


    Even those with Six Star Pulse are in the minority, and the truly powerful Star Meridians are usually just two or three.


    Therefore, the really powerful Star Techniques of Flying Heaven Warriors and Demigods are often only two or three kinds.


    What about Li Yuan?


    His minimum goal is the Seven Star Veins, and with the ¡°Spiritual Guidance¡± of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, he even has hopes of awakening the Eight Star Veins or even the Nine Star Pulse in the future.


    As for Star Techniques? With Spiritual Guidance, it is entirely hopeful to bring multiple Star Meridians to the level of ¡°Perfect Star Vein.¡±


    Cultivating several Supreme Star Techniques, all have hope.


    Two veins concurrently? Li Yuan has confidence in bringing out the might of both¡­ of course, the premise is that he can achieve high enough success in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°The second is lifespan.¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine didn¡¯t know Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, and he continued, ¡°Demigods live for a thousand years, Fifth Order Divine Beings only live for five thousand years¡­ The deeper one delves into the Law of the Great Dao, the more difficult it becomes.¡±


    ¡°Divines, alone in their contemplation of a single Law of the Great Dao, find even that time insufficient, let alone contemplating multiple Laws?¡±


    ¡°You are making quick progress now, because you haven¡¯t even reached the threshold of the Law¡­ But can you ensure that once you become a Demigod, you will still have enough time to spare to contemplate other Laws?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan fell into deep thought.


    Star Techniques, he had some confidence, but time?


    Lifespan, that is an issue no one can avoid.


    With the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, he had hopes of obtaining the inheritance from the Hall of Inheritance of the Ancient Torch Divine and achieving Demigod or even Divine status¡­ all very hopeful prospects.


    But that¡¯s all in the future, and right now he¡¯s still just a Prime Warrior.


    Who can be certain about the future?


    ¡°Third, comprehending different Laws of the Great Dao might sometimes help you break through faster, but more often it leads to interference with each other, causing you to stray off course. As a result, when you hit a bottleneck, you might end up being unable to break through any of them,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Mutual interference?


    Li Yuan could understand this, much like many people writing novels, theoretically writing multiple novels at the same time increases the chances of making more money.


    But often multitasking affects each project, preventing any single one from achieving significant success.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you both the advantages and disadvantages,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, smiling at Li Yuan: ¡°Do you still insist on cultivating the Wind Vein?¡±


    Without much hesitation. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Disciple Li Yuan, greets the teacher,¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully again, having made his decision.


    Difficult?


    Cultivating two veins concurrently is indeed tough, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t sure he would achieve great success, but he had desire and ambition.


    He had to try.


    If he didn¡¯t even try, Li Yuan would not be satisfied.


    ¡°Good,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine was not surprised.


    A transcendent genius like Li Yuan would hardly give up so easily.


    The more talented ones are, the more they believe in their own judgment. The downside is that when they fall, they often fall hard.


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine waved his hand, and suddenly an invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, whisking both away from the pavilion and shooting into the sky.


    Heading straight for the distance.


    ¡°Lie Feng Senior, please wait,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master, witnessing the scene from afar, was shocked and instantly transformed into a streak of light rushing forward.


    Li Yuan did not trust Alien Race Demigods very much.


    In fact, neither did Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Hum~


    An invisible ripple swept past, and immediately an immense pressure from all directions pressed down crazily, causing Duanmu Mountain Master to feel unprecedented pressure.


    It was as if layers upon layers of the heavens and earth were crushing down, and even someone as powerful as Duanmu Mountain Master felt his blood boiling, his speed drastically slowing.


    ¡°Duanmu lad, stop chasing,¡± a detached voice rang in Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s mind: ¡°I¡¯ve promised your Alliance Hierarch to instruct Li Yuan for half a year. After half a year, I will naturally let Li Yuan return.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Duanmu Mountain Master could only watch helplessly as at the edge of the sky, just a few seconds later, Lie Feng Semi Divine and Li Yuan had vanished without a trace.


    ¡°Such incredible speed,¡±


    ¡°Not even a hint of air turbulence can be felt, is this the legendary Demigod Peak Powerhouse of the Wind Vein?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master sighed inwardly.


    His own strength was also nearly at the Demigod threshold.


    But compared to Demigod Peak Powerhouses, the gap was indeed large.


    ¡°I¡¯ll report to San Ye Semi Divine,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master shook his head.


    Just three minutes later.


    San Ye Semi Divine had already responded, the message was simple: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Alliance Hierarch has arrangements.¡±


    ¡­


    High in the sky at ten thousand meters.


    Whoosh!


    A hazy stream of light crossed the sky at unimaginable speed.


    ¡°This flying speed is absolutely beyond thirty times the speed of sound,¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, quickly deducing: ¡°Am I still being carried by the power of heaven and earth? Considering how Lie Feng Semi Divine appears, it seems he hasn¡¯t even used his full strength?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s perspective was incredibly high at this point.


    As far as he knew, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, when exploding with their full power, could often break the sound barrier.


    Flying Heaven Peak powers usually fly at speeds around five times the speed of sound under normal conditions.


    Some immensely strong Flying Heaven Warriors, when using certain powerful Star Techniques, might approach ten times the speed of sound, but it is very hard to reach.


    What about Lie Feng Semi Divine?


    Almost as soon as he moved, his flying speed reached thirty times the speed of sound? If he were to explode with full power, what level might he reach?


    At such a terrifying speed,


    Li Yuan believed that if a Demigod did not conceal his presence, not melding with heaven and earth¡­ once deliberately releasing his power, simply flying across the land would bring destruction to everything in its path.


    Demigods, capable of devastation and destruction, was no exaggeration.


    But.


    ¡°Teacher, what is this?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°I said I would guide you for half a year, for the next half year you will follow me,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine was quite relaxed.

    Chapter 442: Chapter 275: Cultivating Between Heaven and Earth! Condensing True Intent (Extra 11)_2


    Obviously, flying at this speed posed no burden to him.


    Li Yuan was stunned; this differed greatly from what he knew.


    You see, the so-called guidance from a demigod every member of Seven Star Mountain receives for two years isn¡¯t about following by their side¡­ it¡¯s often just once or twice per month.


    Personal cultivation? That¡¯s the treatment of a direct disciple.


    After all, there are a dozen members of the Seven Star Mountain each year, and how many demigods are there in the whole alliance?


    For ordinary members of Seven Star Mountain, receiving guidance a few times is already quite rare.


    ...


    Lucky.


    ¡°As for daily cultivation essentials, I tend to keep them in three storage treasures; I also brought the six bottles of Divine Spirit Liquid that were delivered last time,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Following the other in cultivation for half a year? That also seemed fine.


    ¡°Teacher, where are we going?¡± Li Yuan asked in confusion.


    ¡°To a place with wind.¡±


    ¡­


    After just ten minutes.


    Li Yuan saw an endless expanse of land, and then a vast sea appeared.


    ¡°New Sea?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    According to the map, they had flown over five thousand kilometers, crossing a small continent¡­ New Sea is a famous ocean on Feixing, the widest part exceeds thirty thousand kilometers¡­ it¡¯s the largest ocean in the entire Feixing.


    Whoosh! sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lie Feng Semi Divine took Li Yuan and swiftly entered the sea, going hundreds of kilometers deep, and finally slowed down and landed on a small island.


    This was an uninhabited island.


    Under the bright sunshine, with sea breezes blowing.


    Standing on the island made one¡¯s heart feel very comfortable, with the sky and sea both a shade of azure, creating a pleasant scenery.


    ¡°For the next month, you will cultivate here,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly.


    ¡°Here?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Looking around, although the scenery was beautiful, there was nothing particularly special.


    ¡°Come, take out your long spear,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said to Li Yuan, ¡°Attack me, let me see the extent of your Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°Remember, don¡¯t use Origin Power; this island can¡¯t withstand such destruction.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Lie Feng Semi Divine flipped his palm and there appeared a black stick in his hand, carved with intricate patterns, and made of an unknown material.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, and with a flip of his palm took out a second-rank superior long spear.


    This was the weapon he used previously in the World within Worlds.


    As for the Black Chen Spear? After all, it was a Semi Divine Artifact, Li Yuan hesitated and did not take it out.


    ¡°To spar with a demigod?¡±


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine must want to instruct me,¡± Li Yuan gripped the long spear with both hands, and prompted by a thought, he activated the vigor throughout his body. Without invoking Origin Power, he charged at Lie Feng Semi Divine with a roaring sound.


    The island was rugged, but to a high-level expert like Li Yuan, it was almost no different from flat ground.


    ¡°Swish! Swish! Swish!¡±


    A sky-full of spear shadows roared forth, layers of Spear Light bloomed, engulfing Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine stepped forward, and his long stick thrust out with a bang. At first glance, the thrust didn¡¯t seem fast, but it instantly swept away countless spear shadows and struck precisely at the tip of the spear.


    He blocked that thrust.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank slightly; he hadn¡¯t even felt the other party harness the power of the heavens and the earth.


    ¡°Continue, don¡¯t stop,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine frowned.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan set aside all his concerns and attacked with all his might, freely displaying each move of his Spear Technique.


    No matter how Li Yuan changed his moves, Lie Feng Semi Divine always had the upper hand, each stick strike smashing through all of Li Yuan¡¯s moves and counters.


    ¡°He¡¯s clearly not harnessing the power of the heavens and the earth.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s clearly using much less strength than me,¡± Li Yuan fought with great difficulty.


    It was as if every move he made was seen through by the opponent.


    After dozens of exchanges, Li Yuan¡¯s momentum was astonishing, with sand and stones whirling around him, but Lie Feng Semi Divine just stood there, not even moving half a step.


    ¡°Intercept,¡±


    ¡°Every time I thrust with my spear, it would be seen through by Lie Feng Semi Divine; at the weakest point of my Spear Technique¡¯s burst, I¡¯d be struck and my offensive would be dissolved,¡± Li Yuan composed himself, no longer seeking to compete with Lie Feng Semi Divine but instead focused on identifying the flaws in his own Spear Technique.


    Though the strength of their bursts was comparable, he was completely suppressed, indicating the gap in their realms was too great.


    ¡°My Spear Technique is too predictable; I need to be more subtle,¡± he thought.


    ¡°Stellar True Intent should be seamless and flawless, it can be beaten head-on, but it shouldn¡¯t be defeated before it¡¯s even fully unleashed; this means there are many flaws in my Spear Technique¡­ there¡¯s much room for improvement,¡± Li Yuan noticed many deficiencies in his Spear Technique.


    He attempted to make amends!


    ¡°More crucially, it¡¯s about speed,¡±


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s Stick Technique doesn¡¯t draw upon the powers of heaven and earth, but it can suddenly burst with speed much faster than me¡­ only then can it achieve striking after launching later,¡± Li Yuan also felt the changes in the opponent¡¯s Stick Technique: ¡°Better integration with the heavens and the earth.¡±


    ¡°Although my Spear Technique is close to merging with the heavens and the earth, there is still air resistance,¡±


    ¡°His Stick Technique burst doesn¡¯t encounter air resistance along the way; in fact, it aids him,¡±


    ¡°Is this the Mystery of wind?¡± Li Yuan was filled with vague ideas.


    This scene reminded Li Yuan of when he resonated with the consciousness of the Divine¡­ the Mystery of wind invoked by that Divine¡¯s Spear Technique.


    They were very similar.


    ¡­


    After over a thousand exchanges, Lie Feng Semi Divine finally allowed Li Yuan to stop.


    ¡°Do you feel it?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine asked softly.


    ¡°I have some sense of it,¡± Li Yuan nodded first, then shook his head, ¡°But there¡¯s still much I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s right not to understand,¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°Alright, my guidance is now over. Go to the cliff there, facing the sea, and figure it out.¡±


    Li Yuan was startled.


    Is that the end of the guidance? Not a single word.


    ¡°Starting from today, I will fight with you once every day, letting you sense the Mystery of wind,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke softly, ¡°But how exactly to perceive it, how to incorporate it into your Spear Technique¡­ that¡¯s your own affair, I won¡¯t say more.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, we will change locations every month,¡±


    ¡°Skills are rooted in the Law; what¡¯s called the Mystery of the Law, the natural Mystery of the heavens and the earth, is precisely the Dao,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke slowly, ¡°I won¡¯t teach you Spear Technique, nor pass on a Secret Manual, nor give specific guidance.¡±


    ¡°Because you have no foundation, guiding you now will only bind your mind, cloud your spirit, and prevent you from finding the path most suitable for yourself,¡±


    ¡°Your spiritual power is strong enough to resonate with the heavens and the earth,¡±


    ¡°Since the Dao originates from the heavens and the earth, then seek it from the heavens and the earth,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°When you¡¯ve found your own path, at least congealed True Intent, I will then give you specific guidance.¡±


    ¡°Go on,¡±


    Immediately, Lie Feng Semi Divine sat down on the spot, closed his eyes to rest, and paid no more attention to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher,¡±


    ¡­


    And so, Li Yuan began a completely different journey of Martial Arts Cultivation.


    ¡°Seeking the Dao from within the heavens and earth?¡± Li Yuan sat alone on the sea-facing cliff, silently feeling the Mystery of the wind¡¯s fluctuations between heaven and earth.


    At the same time, he began to combine the pointers from Lie Feng Semi Divine, trying to express it through his Spear Technique.


    ¡­


    Half a month later, one day.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan, who had been sitting in meditation on the sea cliff, suddenly had bursts of aura erupting from him, and the mighty power of heaven and earth lashed out in all directions.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine, who was in quiet cultivation, sensed something, opened his eyes, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes: ¡°True Intent?¡±


    ¡°Without realizing it, he¡¯s actually congealed Stellar True Intent?¡±


    ¡°What a freak!¡±

    Chapter 443: Chapter 276: Flying Heaven, Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)


    ¡°`


    In recent days, Lie Feng Semi Divine has sparred with Li Yuan daily, guiding and instructing him through the art of weaponry.


    The rest of the time, he mostly engaged in quiet meditation alone.


    Although Lie Feng Semi Divine was nearing the end of his lifespan and had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, with slim hopes of breakthrough,


    perhaps a breakthrough was still possible? Until the last moment, Lie Feng Semi Divine refused to give up.


    Beyond his quiet meditation, Lie Feng Semi Divine would occasionally observe Li Yuan.


    ...


    He had long noticed that besides his daily set cultivation of Origin Power and the Visualization Method,


    Li Yuan spent almost all his remaining time pondering over Spear Technique, tirelessly and without rest.


    And he was truly fully committed, without a hint of laziness.


    Furthermore, from the mysteries of the Spear Technique that Lie Feng Semi Divine perceived in Li Yuan¡¯s practice, Li Yuan spent most of his time pondering the Mystery of Wind, making quick progress.


    Added to that, Li Yuan¡¯s respectful calling of ¡®teacher, teacher¡¯ every day


    had naturally led to a growing affection over time.


    After half a month, Lie Feng Semi Divine had indeed grown fonder of Li Yuan from the bottom of his heart.


    It was normal for anyone to favor sensible juniors with high talent who practiced diligently.


    But!!


    Lie Feng Semi Divine could have never imagined that although Li Yuan spent most of his time pondering the mysteries of the wind,


    in just half a month, Li Yuan had unconsciously achieved a qualitative Transformation in the Mystery of Earth.


    For a moment, Lie Feng Semi Divine didn¡¯t know what to say.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    A kilometer away on a cliff, Li Yuan had already stood up, eyes still closed, but with a Long Spear materializing in his hand, which he gripped lightly.


    He slowly began to practice with the spear.


    As the Long Spear danced, streaks of earthy yellow currents quickly surfaced around Li Yuan and the spear¡­ The power of heaven and earth had fully materialized.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh~


    With each movement, the Spear Light streaked across the Vast Sky, and the earthy yellow streams, formed by the condensed power of heaven and earth, completely enveloped Li Yuan, as if he were encased in a spherical shell.


    These earthy yellow streams also made Li Yuan¡¯s aura increasingly formidable.


    Even under their wrap, Li Yuan was unknowingly levitating above the ground.


    Flying!


    Hovering in midair!


    ¡°A Sixth Stage master, truly stepping into the realm of the Dao,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine heaved a sigh as he watched, thinking to himself, ¡°This lad, truly has an incredible talent for the Earth Vein.¡±


    Over this half-month of teaching, he had initially thought that Li Yuan had talent in the Wind Vein.


    But now, compared to his talent in the Earth Vein? It was far inferior.


    ¡­


    ¡°The universe is vast, and the earth is boundless.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s entire being was completely immersed in the fluctuations of the earth, his soul merging entirely with heaven and earth.


    Indeed.


    Over these half-months, he truly dedicated himself to practicing the spear and pondering the mysteries of heaven and earth pertaining to wind¡­ But the Mystery of all things in heaven and earth are one, and his talent for the Earth Vein was just too high.


    With many external aids as well,


    as he sensed the mysterious and unpredictable Wind Fluctuations between heaven and earth, he unconsciously also began to sense the Mystery of Earth¡¯s fluctuations¡­ without him intentionally cultivating or comprehending them.


    Just now, as he sat cross-legged on the cliff,


    a sudden thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind, and he vaguely sensed a series of marvelous vibrations coming from the earth beneath, touching a chord deep within his soul.


    ¡°The Earth!¡±


    ¡°Heaven and Earth!¡± S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the past, Li Yuan could sense the various fluctuations of Origin Power in the vast universe, the forces of heaven and earth, but he felt the Earth¡¯s fluctuations most clearly.


    But in that instant,


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness and spirit became one with the endless earth, sensing nothing but the vast and profound vibrations of the Earth.


    All else fell away from his perceptions.


    The earth, vast and expansive.


    All the previous insights and accumulations suddenly flooded Li Yuan¡¯s mind like a tide.


    ¡°Is this the full picture of the earth¡¯s fluctuations?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Perfect Star Vein throbbed within him, the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± transforming into a brilliant streak of starlight, faintly radiating an earthy yellow glow.


    Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of the True Meaning of Earth was deep, surpassing many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    From the rudimentary form of True Intent to the condensation of True Intent,


    that step was as vast as a chasm!


    For the Seven Star Civilization, or the many other civilizations¡¯ Flying Heaven Warriors, this barrier was nearly insurmountable.


    ¡°In the past, although I contemplated the True Meaning of Earth,¡±


    ¡°I never felt such a connection with the earth in my soul.¡± Li Yuan was completely engrossed, slowly executing his Spear Technique, with all his past insights converging into a unified whole, each movement as majestic as the rolling stars, unshakeable and imposing, imbued with a power capable of crushing all that lay before him.


    True Intent!


    Li Yuan realized then that what was referred to as Stellar True Intent, True Intent of longevity, and so on¡­ were merely aspects of the Law of the Great Dao that later generations forcibly associated.


    Strictly speaking, only the True Intent of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind¡­ Though different experts perceive them differently, they all converge to the same endpoint.


    ¡°The True Intent that I¡¯ve condensed is markedly different from the so-called ¡®Stellar True Intent¡¯ that many Flying Heaven Warriors perceive,¡± Li Yuan thoughtfully stated, ¡°There¡¯s no need to deliberately call it ¡®Stellar True Intent.¡¯


    ¡°Just the True Meaning of Earth will do.¡±


    ¡­


    In the skies above,


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± With each burst of Spear Light, not even a trace of Origin Power fluctuation was involved, yet time and again, the spear pierced through dozens of meters of empty space, leaving behind lasting Spear Light marks.


    On the offensive, it was forthright, as if to overwhelm with sheer strength.


    On defense, the currents flowed like a long river, unending.


    ¡°The Mysteries of True Intent he has grasped seem to differ from simple Stellar True Intent,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine observed from below, secretly musing, ¡°Normal Stellar True Intent excels in Defense, but Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique is well-rounded in both offense and defense, flowing continuously.¡±

    Chapter 444: Chapter 276: Flying Heaven Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)_2


    After quite some time,


    Li Yuan finally stopped completely, controlling the invisible forces of heaven and earth, and descended to the ground.


    ¡°Controlling the path and proceeding.¡± Li Yuan silently recited in his heart, only when one¡¯s skill reaches the Sixth Stage can they borrow the True Intent to fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve finally reached the Sixth Stage of True Intent.¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine appeared beside Li Yuan at some point, his face wearing an inscrutable smile, ¡°You¡¯ve perfectly achieved Unity with heaven and earth, truly entering the path.¡±


    Li Yuan could not help but nod.


    ...


    At the Fifth Stage of Unity of Heaven and Man, the initial step is unity of the spirit with heaven and earth, where the soul merges with heaven and earth to be nourished, followed by gradually drawing upon the powers of heaven and earth.


    Gradually merging one¡¯s body with heaven and earth.


    Why can an extreme expert at the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage run so terrifyingly fast?


    It is because their body nearly merges with heaven and earth, with air almost not forming any resistance.


    Only when one¡¯s comprehension of the mysteries of heaven and earth is profound enough and the realm high enough to undergo a complete transformation to reach the state of True Intent,


    That is entering the path!


    In a single thought, one¡¯s body can fully merge with heaven and earth, becoming a part of the forces of heaven and earth, which allows one to borrow the power of heaven and earth for high-speed flight without any impediment.


    Once one reaches this realm, walking in the sky, on the land, or in the ocean almost feels like being on flat ground, hardly any different.


    This is an essential transformation.


    ¡°With your current strength, many just-broken-through Flying Heaven Warriors probably aren¡¯t as powerful as you,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    Flying Heaven Warriors, within their Sea of Source Energy, condense an ¡®Origin Pill,¡¯ which grants them an explosive increase in the might of the Origin Power that transforms from the Origin Pill, simultaneously endowing the Martial Artist with the ability to fly¡­ Flying is the greatest advantage that Flying Heaven Warriors have over Prime Warriors.


    But those who have condensed True Intent can also fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth, and in some ways are even better at flying than many Flying Heaven Warriors who have not condensed True Intent¡­ for condensing True Intent is essentially about being recognized by heaven and earth and blessed by them.


    Like Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, they were able to defeat or even kill Flying members of the Alien Race with the bodies of Prime Warriors.


    Their biggest reliance was True Intent Comprehension.


    ¡°Condensing True Intent is but the first step on the path, it is only heaven and earth¡¯s True Intent, and you have yet to clearly comprehend the essence of heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Next, what you need to do is to continue sensing the vibrations of the Earth Vein on this path and keep contemplating and deducing,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°Until one day, a quantitative change causes a qualitative Transformation, allowing you to integrate your many comprehensions. That will be The Mystery of Law.¡±


    ¡°The Mystery of Law, just by understanding a trace of it, you won¡¯t need any external force, and just with a thought, you could kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°But stepping into the threshold of Law is extremely difficult, many Demigods cannot achieve it.¡±


    ¡°Disciple understands,¡± said Li Yuan.


    He had seen this mentioned in many records in the database¡­ typically, when one¡¯s skill reaches the Perfection Level of True Intent and they have refined their body and Origin Pill to the utmost, they can hope to step into the Demigod level.


    And if one¡¯s skill reaches the Seventh Stage of Law? Becoming a Demigod is as easy as lifting your hand.


    Like Li Yuan now.


    He felt that with his exceedingly high skill level, just by thinking about it, even if his Physical Quality had yet to reach the pinnacle of a Prime Warrior¡­ he could still draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and with five Star Meridians converging to form an Origin Pill, directly become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Such is the power of high expertise.


    Of course, what Li Yuan was pursuing was to awaken the Seven Star Veins or even the Eight Star Veins as a Prime Warrior¡­ striving to condense the most potent Origin Pill swiftly upon breakthrough, to lay the best foundation.


    In the short term, Li Yuan would not choose to break through.


    ¡°Your natural talent in the Earth Vein is unbelievably high,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°but it is much inferior in the Wind Vein, are you sure you want to continue cultivating it?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded emphatically, having come this far, how could he give up.


    ¡°Good,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine wasn¡¯t really trying to dissuade him.


    It was just that he simply felt that Li Yuan¡¯s attention to the Wind Vein¡­ seemed somewhat a waste of time.


    ¡­


    Having successfully condensed the True Meaning of Earth, his strength once again surged, and Li Yuan felt exceptionally at ease.


    Once again sitting cross-legged on the cliff.


    Listening to the tide rise and fall, letting the strong wind blow¡­ the weather on the island was unpredictable.


    ¡°Is the weather changing again?¡± Li Yuan pondered in his heart.


    Over the past half-month, Li Yuan had become accustomed to the sudden weather changes on the island in the deep sea.


    ¡°Sensing heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes.


    Now that he had successfully condensed True Intent, he felt an even clearer sense of the vast heaven and earth.


    Those strands of vibrations of heaven and earth also appeared ever more ¡®beautiful¡¯ in his eyes.


    Only when one has reached that level, can they appreciate the wonderful beauty of nature.

    The prerequisite is to enter the path.


    ¡°Spiritual power grows even faster.¡±


    ¡°The more effortlessly I draw upon the Source Power between heaven and earth, the faster my Physical Quality grows, and my Origin Power recovery speed will also increase accordingly,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    The transformation of skill represents a higher degree of harmony with heaven and earth.


    ¡°The vibrations of the Earth, boundless and expansive.¡±


    ¡°Wind, on the other hand, roams freely within the vast heaven and earth.¡± Li Yuan vaguely felt some commonalities between the Mysteries of Earth and the Mysteries of Wind.


    At the level of cultivation that Li Yuan had reached,


    He increasingly understood that the Mysteries of Earth were not simply about Defense; they also have an unrestrained side¡­ But its core is about encompassing everything, about supporting everything, about extending to the stable vastness of the endless earth.


    It is the cornerstone of the endless operation of heaven and earth, and in some sense, it is indeed very rigid, even in attack it is forthright, seeking to crush with absolute power.


    But the Mystery of Wind, it too has many aspects, it can be used for attack or Defense, but its core is fluid and elegant.


    Earth, Wind.


    These two great Laws seem to be completely opposite.


    But in Li Yuan¡¯s perception, they appeared to have thousands of intertwining connections.

    ¡°In the Divine Spear Technique, the mysteries of the two great laws are perfectly combined,¡± Li Yuan silently recalled his initial impressions.


    ¡°Time to practice the spear!¡±


    ¡°Focusing solely on the Mystery of Wind indeed wasn¡¯t fast enough,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now that I have condensed the True Meaning of Earth and entered the path¡­ I shall try learning the Divine Spear Technique again and see if I can integrate the Mystery of Wind into it.¡±


    Meanwhile.


    Li Yuan¡¯s peripheral vision swept over a column in the Divine Palace panel:


    ...


    [Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mystery of Wind (Fifth Stage 19%)]


    ¡°After entering the Sixth Stage, there¡¯s no longer a distinction between Spear Technique and movement technique?¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°And it¡¯s no longer giving me feedback in terms of percentages?¡±


    To this, Li Yuan could understand.


    Grasping the mysteries of heaven and earth is inherently immeasurable, and the fact that the Divine Palace panel could still vaguely classify them into Initial Rank, Intermediate Rank, and High Rank was already extraordinary.


    Like many martial artists who had reached the realm of True Intent, even they often couldn¡¯t clearly define their own level of achievement.


    The Dao is elusive.


    ¡°The progress in the Mystery of Wind isn¡¯t slow either,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    At first glance, the rapid approach to Intermediate Rank in the Fifth Stage of the Mystery of Wind seemed much faster than before when contemplating the Mysteries of Earth¡­ but that was because Li Yuan had already completed the foundational body and spirit from the First to the Fourth Level.


    And now, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had grown tremendously.


    Even if he were to try contemplating the Mysteries of Water or the Mysteries of Fire now, he would also start directly from the Fifth Stage.


    ¡°Drip-drop~ Drip-drop~


    Huff! Huff!


    The sky had started to drizzle, and Li Yuan, facing the wind and rain, began to practice his spear technique once again.


    ¡­


    Several hundred kilometers away from the entrance and exit of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    In that mysterious Dark Space, a vague figure sat upon the void.


    Surrounding him were subtle ripples intertwined with streaks of golden light, adding to his enigma.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    A deep voice suddenly sounded, ¡°Lie Feng Semi-Divine has sent a message about Li Yuan.¡± sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Speak,¡± the vague figure commanded without opening his eyes.


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi-Divine says that Li Yuan has made quick progress on the Wind Vein but¡­ it seems his progress on the Earth Vein is far more terrifying,¡± the deep voice reported.


    ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s not focusing on the Wind Vein while practicing with Lie Feng?¡± the vague figure frowned slightly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡±


    ¡°According to Lie Feng Semi-Divine, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness is extremely strong, and he is very diligent in his practice, always focusing on the Wind Vein,¡± the deep voice explained, ¡°But somehow, he has also condensed the True Meaning of Earth unknowingly.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s condensed the True Intent so quickly?¡± There was a hint of surprise in the vague figure¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the deep voice replied, ¡°There¡¯s still half a month before he turns 19, already much faster than Fang Hai was back then, he¡¯s now the number one of our Seven Star Civilization, and Fang Hai had obtained¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Each person has their own destiny.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai obtained an opportunity that even I envied, and perhaps Li Yuan also had his fortune in secret,¡± the vague figure said calmly, ¡°But what peerless genius doesn¡¯t have a great opportunity?¡±


    ¡°Sometimes, if the opportunity is too strong and one¡¯s own strength can¡¯t bear it, it can be harmful instead.¡±


    ¡°Tell Lie Feng, just instruct him as usual.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    About ten days after condensing the True Meaning of Earth, on a certain island, two figures were sparring.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear thrust forward or slashed down aggressively in his hands, overwhelming in attack, but within the direct and honest assault hid countless variable moves, all very agile.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± Each collision of their weapons, even though Lie Feng Semi-Divine still held an absolute advantage,


    had become increasingly difficult for him to intercept Li Yuan¡¯s weapon. He even had to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to withstand Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    After a long while, they ceased their sparring.


    ¡°How has your spear technique improved so rapidly?¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, ¡°Judging just by the Mystery of Wind, you could already be considered at the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    In one month¡¯s time, going from just starting to contemplate the Mystery of Wind to stepping into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage?


    What kind of cultivation speed was that?


    Lie Feng Semi-Divine clearly felt that since condensing the True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan¡¯s pace of cultivation in the Mystery of Wind had sped up considerably.


    ¡°Firstly, it¡¯s thanks to the teacher¡¯s excellent guidance,¡±


    Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Secondly, after condensing the True Meaning of Earth, during cultivation, I gradually attempted to integrate the Mysteries of Earth and Wind into one, which promoted each other, making my cultivation much faster.¡±


    ¡°Mysteries of Earth and Wind promoting each other?¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan without revealing his inner shock.


    Lie Feng Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°How did you manage that?¡±


    Combining two Mysteries is extraordinarily difficult; if not done correctly, it¡¯s easy to negatively affect each other and slow down both cultivations.


    ¡°It just happened naturally,¡± Li Yuan ¡®honestly¡¯ replied.


    Lie Feng Semi-Divine was silent for a moment.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°If the path you¡¯re on is the right one, then follow your own path,¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine said softly, ¡°Contemplating the Law of the Great Dao, following your own heart¡¯s desire is the most correct.¡±


    ¡°I will surely work hard and live up to teacher¡¯s expectations,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    Yet, inside, he was inwardly sighing.


    Naturally? No! It was because of the Martial God Inheritance and the guidance of the Spear Technique with Divine Consciousness Resonance¡­ that allowed him to be on a relatively correct path from the start to end.


    Li Yuan was indeed talented in the Wind Vein.


    But the external environment was indispensable.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, change location for cultivation,¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine said, taking to the skies.


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan manipulated the power of heaven and earth and also soared up.


    Experiencing True Intent for so long, this was the first time Li Yuan had fully unleashed his flying ability.


    Boom!


    ¡°While controlling the Dao for flight, my fastest velocity is roughly thrice the speed of sound,¡± Li Yuan quickly deduced.

    ¡°`


    Fortunately, Lie Feng Semi Divine did not fly fast, Li Yuan quickly caught up.


    ¡°Teacher, where are we going?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Wherever the wind blows, that¡¯s where we go.¡±


    ¡­


    Not long after, the two arrived at a tall mountain on Feixing, where ice and snow were perennial, and fierce winds howled.


    ...


    ¡°For the next month, you will cultivate here,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    Li Yuan had vaguely understood Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s intention, to feel the heaven and earth, to observe all the scenes in the world.


    It was an excellent method for cultivation towards enlightenment.


    Time was immaterial in cultivation.


    Just like that.


    Every month, Li Yuan would follow Lie Feng Semi Divine to a different place to cultivate.


    Island, snowy mountain, deep valley, desert, Gobi¡­ They appeared in all kinds of dangerous places on Feixing.


    From beginning to end, Lie Feng Semi Divine never told Li Yuan how to comprehend, only using the daily battles to guide him.


    Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.


    Traveling thousands of miles is not as good as having a knowledgeable teacher guide you.


    Now, Li Yuan was traveling thousands of miles while being guided by a knowledgeable teacher, and the continuous help from Divine Spirit Liquid made his cultivation speed even faster.


    In such daily cultivation.


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality and his understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth were constantly improving.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.


    ¡­


    In a mysterious Dark Space not far from the entrance and exit of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    A deep voice suddenly rang out in the Dark Space: ¡°Li Yuan has completed his half-year tenure with Lie Feng Semi Divine.¡±


    ¡°Just now, Lie Feng Semi Divine has sent a message.¡±


    ¡°What did he say?¡± The blurred figure still did not open its eyes: ¡°Is he planning to send Li Yuan back?¡±


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine says, give him another half year,¡± the deep voice said: ¡°And, he hopes to take Li Yuan as his Direct Disciple.¡±


    The Dark Space became quiet once again.


    After a while.


    ¡°It seems, Li Yuan has satisfied him greatly,¡± the blurred figure slowly said: ¡°Agree¡­ But whether he wishes to become a disciple, we must also consult Li Yuan¡¯s opinion.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡±


    ¡­


    Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, it¡¯s June 2045.


    Fierce Feather Star Realm, World within Worlds.


    Hall of Inheritance of the Fire System Divine Being.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Streams of flame light appeared out of nowhere, followed by the appearance of a figure in a fiery red robe in the hall.


    On her forehead, a flame emblem was faintly visible, and her eyes also showed a hint of joy.


    She had finally succeeded. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Lanyue, I didn¡¯t expect that with the help of the Myriad Flame Divine Diagram, in just over a year, you would grow this much,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said: ¡°In the mysteries of fire, you have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, and your Physical Quality has also transformed to Level 22, qualifying you to go out.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Boundary Spirit,¡± Lin Lanyue said respectfully.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me, this is all your own doing,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said: ¡°Your willpower was already not bad, and after acquiring the Visualization Method, it transformed even more¡­ to endure six rounds of Fire Refining Nirvana, you have truly brought out your bloodline potential.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, a trace of solemnity in her eyes.


    Six rounds of Fire Refining Nirvana were indeed a nightmare.


    ¡°Soon, when your Physical Quality reaches Level 29, your spiritual power should be able to reach the Flying Heaven Level, and your comprehension of the natural mysteries of heaven and earth will also be much faster,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said again: ¡°However, the road ahead is still fraught with hardships.¡±


    ¡°You wish to become the Direct Disciple of your master, but you are not yet qualified.¡±


    ¡°Go out and experience,¡±


    ¡°Come back when you¡¯ve reached the pinnacle of a Prime Warrior,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said: ¡°Once the Cave Heaven World is liberated¡­ you will receive the most important gift left for you by your master.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded, her eyes brimming with joy.


    She was finally able to go out.


    In her heart, several figures emerged, parents, elder brother, second brother.


    Lastly, the image of another person, whom she hadn¡¯t seen in over a year, suddenly appeared in her mind.


    ¡°Are you doing well?¡± Lin Lanyue thought to herself.


    Hum~


    An invisible fluctuation swept over, and Lin Lanyue disappeared within the hall.


    ¡­


    Xia Country, Northern Border Province, the entrance and exit of Rob Sea Star Realm spanned hundreds of kilometers, with extremely unstable space.


    On one side of the entrance was a sky full of yellow sand.


    Several large War Fortresses stood erect, beyond counting weapon towers.


    On the other end, beyond the faintly illusory space ripples, a blood moon illuminated the dark and vast land.


    Rugged mountain ranges stretched endlessly.


    This place was the most dangerous in Xia Country¡¯s Territory and the most likely to upgrade to a ¡®Third Level Star Realm¡¯ from a Second Level Star Realm.


    The key point was, this was the frontline of the war between the Seven Star Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Great battles erupted year-round.


    ¡°Hum~¡± ¡°Hum~¡±


    ¡°Hum~¡± Inside several large War Fortresses, along the corridors, alert systems flashed red lights nearly at the same time.


    ¡°War Alert!¡±


    ¡°War Alert!¡±


    ¡°Full-scale War Alert.¡± The entire stationed army of a million in the Rob Sea War Zone, tens of thousands of Martial Artists, were simultaneously jolted in their hearts and entered a state of readiness.


    Everyone knew that since the great battle two years ago.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization had once again initiated full-scale war.

 Chapter 447 - 277: The Fourth Brood Nest! The Expedition (Extra 12)

    Chapter 447: Chapter 277: The Fourth Brood Nest! The Expedition (Extra 12)


    The Rob Sea Star Realm is not particularly vast.


    During the inquiry of the Seven Star Civilization, the largest explored range exceeded thirty thousand kilometers.


    However, decades of relentless effort and massive resource investment have only led to the establishment of an outpost base within about three thousand kilometers of the star realm¡¯s entrance.


    Further in? The Seven Star Civilization has only been able to dispatch small squads for exploration, struggling to establish a solid base.


    The most significant reason for this is the obstruction of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    This foreign civilization, as one of the earliest to enter the Rob Sea Star Realm and the first to invest massive resources, built numerous mother nest lairs, enabling it to maintain a strong offensive against the Seven Star Civilization.


    ...


    About eight thousand kilometers away from the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s nearest outpost base, there is a continuous mountain range.


    Deep beneath the mountains, many large secret chambers are constructed, interconnected like a vast labyrinth.


    Each chamber is endlessly bright, as if it were daylight, with occasionally massive exotic beasts patrolling.


    In one of the super-large chambers, three massive exotic beasts each occupied one end: a colossal red flying serpent, a furry giant resembling a simian clad in thick armor, and a beast with tiger-like paws and a body covered in black scales. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The aura they exuded was exceptionally vigorous,


    At the moment, in front of them, there was a massive holographic projection, displaying a shadowy figure shrouded in darkness.


    Its true face was unclear, with even its background nearly nonexistent.


    ¡°You three, long time no see,¡± the shadowy figure cackled with an eerie laugh.


    ¡°Black Mist, long time no see,¡± the colossal blood-colored flying serpent spoke. As Sky-Flying Level Life, they were highly intelligent, and learning an alien race¡¯s language was effortless for them.


    The three exotic beasts present are the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s three great leaders in the Rob Sea Star Realm, each possessing formidable combat strength.


    As for the shadowy figure before them?


    Its identity is even more special¡­ it is the most highly positioned undercover agent that the Cloud Beast Civilization can secretly contact within the Seven Star Civilization.


    All along, it has been relaying intelligence to them.


    ¡°Black Mist, you should have received the items we sent,¡± the blood-colored flying serpent said softly, ¡°based on our previous agreement, you should now provide us with information.¡±


    Neither side could truly trust the other, making transactions difficult.


    Each transaction took a long time.


    ¡°Of course, I always keep my promises,¡± the shadowy figure said, ¡°this is Xia Country¡¯s current ¡®Troop Deployment Distribution Map¡¯; it¡¯s already quite detailed¡­ more details, I can¡¯t obtain since I¡¯m not a commander.¡±


    Swiftly,


    the shadowy figure passed the intelligence quickly to the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s three great leaders.


    ¡°The second piece of news, Lude Nef has been confirmed to have broken through,¡± the shadowy figure said, ¡°he has achieved the Sky-Flying Level¡­ though this news hasn¡¯t spread.¡±


    ¡°The third message, Yu Jinghe has been deeply trapped in Ming Mountain of the Mingxu Star Realm and should not be able to get out any time soon.¡±


    ¡°The remaining group of Prime Warriors at Seven Star Mountain, who have grasped True Intent, are not that strong, posing little threat to you.¡±


    The three great beasts exchanged glances, a hint of relief flashing in their eyes.


    This war they had instigated, their greatest concern were the powerful Prime Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, whose strength was even greater than ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ especially Lude Nef, who was practically a nightmare for the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Similarly,


    in this past year, the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization have been contesting over the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ Yu Jinghe has also emerged spectacularly, displaying increasingly terrifying power.


    The two of them, both capable of confronting large groups of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But now, these two biggest threats, one has achieved a breakthrough and the other is trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°Fine, that¡¯s all the intelligence,¡± the shadowy figure said, ¡°if you still can¡¯t win, don¡¯t blame me.¡±


    ¡°Black Mist,¡±


    the blood-red flying serpent, Wu Sihai, spoke deeply, ¡°Our demigod has tasked me with delivering a message to you. If you are willing to take out Yu Jinghe or Li Yuan, we are prepared to offer treasures worth thirty thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Thirty thousand Seven Stars Points?¡± the shadowy figure laughed bizarrely, ¡°Wu Sihai, are you looking down on me? Or are you underestimating Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan of my Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe is powerful; killing him would be difficult.¡±


    ¡°As for Li Yuan? He¡¯s more mysterious; I can¡¯t even find where he is.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I only trade in intelligence; I never strike. But that¡¯s not to say I won¡¯t consider it¡­ it¡¯s just a matter of price.¡±


    ¡°How much do you want?¡± Wu Sihai with the blood-colored flying serpent¡¯s eyes lit up slightly.


    ¡°Treasures worth one million Seven Stars Points!¡±


    The chamber suddenly fell silent.


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t blame me for not taking action; blame your poverty,¡± the shadowy figure snickered, ¡°I¡¯m off, we¡¯ll contact again next time.¡±


    Boom~


    The projection with the shadowy figure instantly vanished.


    ¡°Bastard! One million? How can he even ask for that!¡± the purple-furred simian burst into an angry roar, ¡°A decent Semi Divine Artifact is often valued at about ten thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°One million could almost exchange for a Divine Artifact,¡± the purple simian growled.


    ¡°Zipa,¡± Wu Sihai, the flying serpent, frowned and said, ¡°He wasn¡¯t willing to take action in the first place, just throwing out absurd prices. These humans are all exceedingly cunning¡­ They will only trade intelligence, they¡¯ll never truly risk their lives.¡±


    ¡°Wu Sihai, what¡¯s your plan?¡± the black beast who had not spoken yet suddenly said.


    ¡°Three mother nest lairs, over the past two years, have bred a large number of exotic beasts, devouring and slaughtering each other; we have accumulated enough Second Rank exotic beasts,¡± said Wu Sihai, the flying serpent, in a deep voice, ¡°I have already ordered the three Great Mothers to initiate the first wave of attacks from the front lines.¡±

    Chapter 448: Chapter 277: The Fourth Brood Beast Lair! Setting Forth (Additional Chapter 12)_2


    ¡°Once we destroy the many outposts of the Seven Star Civilization and they lose their monitoring capacity over us,¡±


    ¡°it will be time for us to establish our fourth nest beast lair,¡± the Flying Serpent Wu Sihai said, ¡°Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef is restrained¡­ Even if the Seven Star Civilization reacts, it will be difficult for them to dispatch stronger forces to kill their way in here in a short time.¡±


    The other two leaders couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    The nest beast lair is extremely vulnerable when it is first established.


    But as time passes, it becomes stronger and stronger¡­ Once the first three nest beast lairs became completely stable, the Seven Star Civilization attacked several times but could not shake them.


    ¡°Once we establish the fourth nest beast lair, our offensive will be even stronger,¡± the purple monkey Zipa said in a deep voice, ¡°At that time, we will be able to completely suppress the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ...


    ¡°And then wait to establish the fifth nest beast lair¡­ The entire Star Realm will belong to us.¡±


    The other two leaders couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    The ultimate goal of the Cloud Beast Civilization is to invade the entire Star Realm, continuously spawning more exotic beasts, both to strengthen the civilization¡¯s foundation and to use it as a springboard to constantly invade the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡­


    The Rob Sea erupted into a great war again.


    Indeed, it put tremendous pressure on the Seven Star Civilization, especially on Xia Country.


    After all, in the Mingxu Star Realm, the great war with the Tianliang Civilization had not yet ended, and a large number of elite forces had already been committed. How could they withdraw?


    The main forces in these two great wars were from Xia Country.


    However, given Xia Country¡¯s foundation and strong national power, it could still hold out for a short time.


    Moreover, as per tradition, in such continuous large-scale wars, the alliance would make adjustments, ordering other nations to dispatch forces to assist.


    This is a full-scale war with an alien civilization, and no power can refuse the summoning.


    ¡­


    Feixing, on that island deep within the Prajna Sea.


    Overcast clouds filled the sky, and gusts of wind blew violently on that rugged, stony island.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan greeted the middle-aged man in hemp clothing with respect.


    Eleven months had passed.


    The Lie Feng Semi Divine seemed to take a step closer to the end of his lifespan, with a hint of white hair emerging on his head and his face showing increased signs of age.


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s been about five months since you officially joined my discipleship,¡± said the Lie Feng Semi Divine in a gentle voice.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Half a year ago, when the Lie Feng Semi Divine proposed to formally take him as a disciple, Li Yuan did not hesitate to agree.


    After such a long time together, Li Yuan could feel that the other party treated him well and taught him with great dedication.


    Accepting a teacher?


    On the path of cultivation, there are often many teachers.


    This matter, Gu You once told Li Yuan, if one can strengthen oneself and is willing to do so, as long as it doesn¡¯t involve betraying one¡¯s original teacher, it¡¯s fine to accept other powerful individuals as one¡¯s teachers.


    After accepting his teacher, Li Yuan had returned to the Martial Divine Star Realm once to retrieve the Divine Spirit Liquid and many other cultivation resources.


    To this day, he had been following the Lie Feng Semi Divine in cultivation for nearly five months, with great progress.


    ¡°Come,¡±


    ¡°Let your teacher see what progress you have made in these three days,¡± the Lie Feng Semi Divine stood up.


    Two months ago, Li Yuan had already stopped fighting daily, switching to fighting every three days instead.


    The Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    After nearly a year, Li Yuan was consistent in showing respectful disciple etiquette, without a trace of slackness, cultivating industriously, with faster and faster progress in the Mystery of Wind¡­ all utterly without fault.


    The Lie Feng Semi Divine grew from initially disliking to increasingly liking Li Yuan.


    And yet!


    The closer to the end of his lifespan, the more the Lie Feng Semi Divine felt the approaching death¡­ the hope of breaking through growing dimmer by the day.


    A powerful individual when young might not wish to sincerely instruct a disciple, often having more faith in themselves, and even when dealing with their own offspring or disciples, they hold numerous selfish motives.


    But as they age and face the end of life, they often hope to pass on their knowledge to an outstanding disciple.


    This was fully demonstrated in the Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    He believed that Li Yuan had the potential to surpass him in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Be careful, Teacher,¡±


    Li Yuan said softly, and suddenly a black long spear appeared in his hand. It instantly transformed into a hazy stream of light, rushing towards the Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Sssh~¡±


    ¡°Sssh~¡± The long spear whistled, and like a phantom, it flicked out countless phantoms to assassinate the Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Fast! Too fast!


    The speed of Li Yuan¡¯s spear strikes, compared to a year before, was much faster, and with a hazy agility, it was nearly impossible to trace when it thrust out.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s eyes lit up, and he suddenly thrust his long staff forward, instantly harnessing the power of heaven and earth.


    In an instant, weapons collided in the void, and a series of staff shadows blocked the spear light that enveloped the sky.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Faster!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s fighting spirit soared as he fully invoked the Mysteries of Wind, unleashing his Spear Technique attacks.


    A year had passed.


    Li Yuan had achieved astonishing accomplishments in the Mysteries of Wind.


    Now, although he had not yet condensed the True Meaning of Wind, his confidence in ascending Seven Star Mountain with just the fluctuations of the wind¡¯s Mystery alone was a testament to his tremendous progress.


    Still, he could not shake Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Use your ultimate move, or you will be defeated,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes changed.


    Boom! S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Streams of pale earthen-yellow qi appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant, they enveloped an area of several dozen meters, each strand of qi containing astonishing binding force.


    The True Meaning of Earth! Heaven-Earth Domain!


    ¡°Wind!¡± In a flash, Li Yuan¡¯s form split in two as the invisible fluctuations of the Mysteries of Wind dispersed, and he darted through the earthen-yellow qi streams.


    Both Li Yuan figures, clad in Combat Armor and wielding Long Spears, were indistinguishable from each other, real or fake.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± Both Li Yuan figures simultaneously thrust their long spears, with Spear Light resembling two terrifying beams, which under the enhancement of the earthen-yellow qi streams, made his already elusive Spear Technique even more terrifying.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    His Long Spear collided with Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s over and over again.


    However, with one figure being real and the other a phantom, and constantly swapping places, his Spear Technique became even more unpredictable.


    For a short time, he even seemed to be overpowering Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Destroy!¡±


    With a sudden shout from Lie Feng Semi Divine, a terrifying fluctuation spread out instantly, causing the strands of earthen-yellow qi to blast away and leaving only one Li Yuan amidst the streams.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A staff strike thundered out, as swift as lightning, slamming into Li Yuan¡¯s spear and sending him flying dozens of meters before he steadied himself again.


    ¡°Teacher, I lost,¡± Li Yuan shook his head and said.


    ¡°What did you lose?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head slightly and said, ¡°This fusion of your two Mysteries¡­ its power is already unfathomable, forcing me to use High Rank Sixth Stage skills to hardly break through your defense¡­ and in the end, I had to use even greater strength to directly crush your Domain to win.¡±


    ¡°This is just the initial combination.¡±


    ¡°When your Mysteries of Wind transform into True Intent¡­ the combined power of both True Intents will be even more terrifying,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°What do you call this move?¡±


    ¡°Shadow Domain,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    This killing move.


    Was precisely the strongest move that Li Yuan had developed over the past year, combining the True Meaning of Earth with the Mysteries of Wind.


    If he used the True Meaning of Earth alone, the resulting Domain would be quite rigid, possessing only simple binding power, which wasn¡¯t very effective in actual combat. Other Flying Heaven Warriors could easily break out of it.


    If he relied purely on the Mysteries of Wind in battle, with his current abilities, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t create a perfectly untraceable ¡®Phantom¡¯. At most, it made him faster and his Spear Technique more ghostly and unpredictable.


    But once the two Mysteries combined.


    The True Meaning of Earth at its core, with the Mysteries of Wind as an auxiliary, made the Domain that Li Yuan created more resilient and capable of generating a phantom that could sow real confusion amidst the false.


    In battle, it was incredibly unpredictable.


    The focus of the Shadow Domain, was not on the Domain but on the ¡°shadow.¡±


    Li Yuan believed.


    That if other Flying Heaven Warriors engaged in close combat with him, and they made a mistake in discerning his true form.


    They would likely be struck down by him in an instant.


    ¡°Shadow Domain? The name is quite fitting,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine nodded slightly, ¡°With the True Meaning of Earth as the foundation, your Domain will not be easily destroyed; it¡¯s much stronger than a mere Domain of Wind.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Among the Seven Great Laws, each has its strengths, and if we¡¯re talking about forming a Domain, those created by the Mysteries of Earth and Water are the most powerful. The former exerts greater pressure and the latter has more resilience in its binding.


    ¡°With the Mysteries of Wind integrated into your Domain, making your phantom even more difficult to detect, indeed it is a lethal move. If you continue to refine it, it will surely allow you to dominate among Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°You, are ready to leave your teacher.¡±


    ¡°Leave my teacher?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Your Mysteries of Wind have reached the Perfection Level of Fifth Stage, do you still need to follow me?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need anymore.¡±


    ¡°A teacher takes you through the door, but the practice is personal.¡±


    ¡°I have taught you everything I can,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°the path ahead is yours to walk on your own.¡±


    ¡°Before you go, I have something more to give you.¡±

 Chapter 449 - 278: A Teachers Gift! Farewell, Dean Hai (Extra 13)

    Chapter 449: Chapter 278: A Teacher¡¯s Gift! Farewell, Dean Hai (Extra 13)


    ¡°You should know that to you, a teacher is of an alien race,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said indifferently, ¡°I do not belong to your civilization, and logically, it would be very difficult to fully trust me.¡±


    ¡°Disciple has never thought this way,¡± Li Yuan replied quickly.


    If at the beginning, Li Yuan still had some guard up,


    then after spending days and nights together for nearly a year, he had come to respect and acknowledge Lie Feng Semi Divine from the bottom of his heart.


    Perhaps compared to another nominal teacher, ¡®Ancient Torch Divine¡¯, Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s strength might be much weaker and the help he could offer much less, but their emotional bond was clearly much deeper.


    Emotions take time to build.


    ...


    ¡°Hear me out,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile, gesturing with his hand for Li Yuan to be quiet.


    ¡°It¡¯s normal not to trust.¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile: ¡°When I initially came to teach you, it was at the request of Dongfang Ji¡­ I owe him a great debt of gratitude.¡±


    ¡°I am from another plane and met him in the ¡®Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine continued, ¡°At that time, he had just become a demigod. We adventured together for several years, forming a deep friendship before returning to our respective civilizations.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, what is this Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Li Yuan asked, unable to help his curiosity.


    He had never heard of such a place!


    ¡°With your talent and strength, once you reach the Flying Heaven Level, you will naturally understand. Dongfang Ji knows more about it than I do,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a faint smile, ¡°Decades after parting with Dongfang Ji, about eighty years ago¡­ my home civilization was invaded by the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    This civilization was also the greatest enemy of the Seven Star Civilization, having tried many times to invade but were always repelled.


    ¡°Your Seven Star Civilization is strong enough to have withstood several invasions from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said slowly, a trace of sorrow on his face that he quickly concealed, ¡°but our civilization was not strong enough¡­ Our entire civilization was completely destroyed, dozens of demigods were slaughtered, most of the surviving tribespeople were killed, and the rest became servants.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    Although he had known some of these facts about his teacher Lie Feng, hearing them from him¡­ was a different feeling altogether.


    Feixing had also suffered a similar catastrophe, with billions perishing.


    ¡°I was certain to die¡­ but it was Dongfang Ji who saved me,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine explained, ¡°After that, I stayed on Feixing, taking the role of what is called a ¡®guest demigod¡¯. However, over these decades, in truth, they haven¡¯t asked me to do much.¡±


    ¡°Teaching you was the first thing Dongfang Ji asked me to do, and I shall do it diligently,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Of course, you are exceptionally outstanding.¡±


    Li Yuan completely understood the reasons now.


    ¡°I still have many things to do, so I don¡¯t have too many treasures to give you,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly, waving his hand.


    Whirrr~


    Several green crystal stones emitting a strange light suddenly floated in front of Li Yuan, all the size of a fist and looking very mysterious.


    ¡°What are these?¡± Li Yuan asked, holding his breath.


    ¡°These are Inheritance Stones, which contain a vast amount of information. I have prepared nine of them,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine explained, ¡°One of them contains the insights from my lifetime of cultivation, which you can refer to and learn from, but as always¡­ personal cultivation is unique, and others¡¯ experiences and insights can only serve as a reference.¡±


    ¡°Disciple understands,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°The other eight contain one star technique each, either cultivated by me or collected by me,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine continued, ¡°Among them, the three most core ones are the Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯, the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯, and the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡®Wind Feather¡¯.¡± S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°Ultimately, you are centered on the Earth Vein, and you certainly won¡¯t cultivate many Wind Vein star techniques,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°Considering the way you fight¡­ I would advise that for the Wind Vein, you should only cultivate up to two types of star techniques.¡±


    ¡°One type is the Shadow Clone, which once sufficiently cultivated, will allow your deployed Phantom Bodies to truly contain combat power, making it easier to execute¡­ The other is an Escaping Technique,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine explained.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher, for your guidance,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    It aligned perfectly with his own thoughts.


    No matter whether adventuring or engaging in battle and slaughter, preserving one¡¯s life is always of the utmost importance; therefore, learning escaping techniques is essential.


    The many Star Techniques left behind by the Ancient Torch Divine included the escaping technique ¡°Light Transformation,¡± which is an extremely strong Seventh Layer Star Technique.


    ¡°As for the other treasures,¡±


    ¡°I once traded with Dongfang Ji¡­ The remaining Seven Stars Points left in the Seven Star Treasury, I have transferred them all to you,¡± smiled Lie Feng Semi Divine. ¡°It¡¯s not much, just about twenty thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    This is not much?


    Twenty thousand Seven Stars Points! That would drive many Flying Heaven Warriors mad with desperation.


    But upon considering the strength of his teacher, Lie Feng¡­ Li Yuan came to terms with it.


    This is a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse after all.


    Yet, a flicker of unease crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind. All transferred to himself? Does the teacher need nothing at all? What is he about to do?


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is all I can help you with. Go back to Seven Star Mountain,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine slowly said. ¡°The strong are refined through countless battles.¡±


    ¡°According to my observations, you must be very close to awakening the Six Star Pulse, and with your talent, you have a solid chance of challenging the Seven Star Veins. In any case, try to reach the limit of a Prime Warrior before breaking through¡­ In all your future life-and-death struggles, you must be careful,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine couldn¡¯t help but add a few more words.


    ¡°Disciple understands,¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully and said, ¡°If I wish to see you in the future, teacher, where should I look for you?¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s fated, we will meet again.¡±


    ¡­


    He watched as Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the thick fog and fierce winds above the sea.


    Lie Feng Semi Divine sighed softly in his heart.


    He was very aware that it would probably be difficult for them to meet again in this lifetime.


    Before long.


    Buzz~ An invisible fluctuation enveloped the world as a powerful will descended upon this region of the sea.


    Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s eyebrows lifted.


    He has arrived.


    He was well aware that it was not his true body that had come, but his consciousness descending from tens of thousands of miles away through the high realm.


    ¡°Dongfang,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine took the initiative to speak.


    ¡°You¡¯re really determined to venture into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain again? The time has not yet come, and if you venture deeply into it, even I am not confident of coming out alive,¡± a robust voice echoed in the void.


    ¡°I am nearing the end of my lifespan, and there has been no sign of any breakthrough. Waiting any longer would spell certain death,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke calmly. ¡°By venturing, there is at least a sliver of a chance for life.¡±


    ¡°Fine, since you¡¯ve made up your mind, I won¡¯t persuade you further,¡± the robust voice said.


    ¡°The few tens of thousands of Seven Stars Points that I have left, just transfer them to Li Yuan,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a laugh. ¡°I was delighted to take him as my disciple¡­ yet I couldn¡¯t give him much, nor could I fulfill the responsibilities of a master fully, let it be some compensation then.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve done more than enough,¡± the robust voice said. ¡°The grace of leading one onto the path exceeds heaven¡­ The path of the strong is one they must strive for themselves. Giving too much can, in fact, take away their drive and do more harm than good.¡±


    It was clear that the two held different philosophies on how to nurture their disciples and successors.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not argue over such matters,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head. ¡°Can I come to you in three days?¡±


    ¡°You can.¡±


    ¡°As friends, I will see you off one last time, but I can only wish you good luck,¡± the robust voice responded.


    ¡­


    Hu!


    Li Yuan was enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow glow.


    He transformed into a beam of light traveling through the heavens and the earth.


    When he was on the island, the sky was incredibly gloomy, with dense clouds, but as he soared above ten thousand meters in altitude, he was instead surrounded by a radiant splendor.


    ¡°To fly in the sky and burrow in the earth, indeed it¡¯s comfortable,¡± he remarked.


    He had just parted ways with his teacher, and there was a hint of sorrow in Li Yuan¡¯s heart¡­ But he was able to pick up and let go easily, quickly suppressing that thought.


    ¡°Although Teacher Lie Feng is nearing the end of his lifespan, after all, he is a Semi Divine, and he should still have some years left to live,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself. ¡°Once my strength is even greater, I will surely see him again.¡±


    Not long after.


    ¡°East Pole Continent,¡± said Li Yuan as he crossed the vast ocean and already gazed down at the vast land below, densely packed with numerous towns.


    Occasionally, he could see flying vehicles shuttling in the high sky.


    The East Pole Continent was the main continent on Feixing, with a population of nearly twenty billion, incredibly thriving.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring vibrated slightly, signaling that he had received a message.


    ¡°Twenty-seven thousand Seven Stars Points have been transferred to my name?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The efficiency is indeed high!


    With his high level of access, Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring was also specially made, allowing him to stay in contact anywhere on the Seven Great Planets, whether high in the sky or deep in mountain valleys¡ªunimpeded communication was always possible.


    Guided by the map,


    after nearly four hours, Li Yuan flew tens of thousands of kilometers in one go and finally saw the towering and colossal War Fortress at the edge of the land from afar.


    It was the entrance to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan descended rapidly, passing through several open-air checkpoints¡­ His identity information had been automatically verified, enabling him to pass through smoothly.


    He arrived at the base of the War Fortress,


    and landed lightly on the plaza outside the Star Realm corridor. Several flying vehicles were docked, but there weren¡¯t many people coming and going.


    However, Li Yuan had already noticed that many were looking at him.


    ¡°Flying, that¡¯s a Flying Heaven Warrior!¡±


    ¡°But the feeling he gives me isn¡¯t quite right; the pressure of his life force doesn¡¯t seem to be that strong.¡±


    ¡°Could it be a top prodigy from the Seven Star Mountain?¡± many officers and warriors in the distance were discussing in whispers.


    They might have been ordinary in terms of strength, but they were accustomed to super-powerful warriors passing through the entrance to the Martial Divine Star Realm year-round.


    It was only because Li Yuan was somewhat unfamiliar that he sparked discussions.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± A slightly surprised voice came from the entrance of a meeting room in the distance.


    Li Yuan instantly turned to look, a flash of surprise in his eyes, ¡°Dean Hai?¡±


    That¡¯s right.


    The figure standing at the doorway of the distant meeting room, dressed in a blue robe, was none other than Dean Hai of Kunlun Martial University.


    At this moment, he was staring at Li Yuan with a face full of surprise.


    And behind Dean Hai, through the glass of the meeting room, one could see eight or nine young figures, all looking at him with curiosity and awe.


    ¡°It really is Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°I remember him, I saw him in person at last year¡¯s virtual battle,¡± someone remarked.


    ¡°Just now, Li Yuan descended from the sky, flying? Has he become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± The young people were discussing quietly amongst themselves, excited expressions on their faces.


    Their exchanges, with Li Yuan¡¯s powerful perception ability, were easily overheard by him.


    Hu!


    Dean Hai moved swiftly and was already in front of Li Yuan, looking him up and down and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Did you just fly in from outside?¡±


    ¡°Dean, you should be able to sense that I am not yet a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just that I had the good fortune to gather the True Meaning of Earth, allowing me to use it to fly.¡±


    He would naturally not divulit the fact that he had gathered the True Intent of his own accord, but since Dean Hai had seen him, there was no need to hide it, because it would be quickly revealed either way.


    ¡°You¡¯ve gathered the True Intent?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes flickered with shock. ¡°You¡¯re not yet 20 years old, right?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded; he was still two months away from being 20.


    ¡°A Prime Warrior with True Intent and under 20 years of age?¡± Dean Hai felt even more shocked inside.


    He knew what this meant.


    Li Yuan smiled, aware of what Dean Hai was thinking.


    If he knew that Li Yuan had gathered the True Intent at under 19 years of age, he probably would have been dumbfounded.


    ¡°Dean, are you here at the Martial Divine Star Realm for business?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Oh, this year¡¯s global martial arts competition for colleges has just concluded,¡± Dean Hai pointed to the nine figures in the distance, ¡°Them, they¡¯re the young prodigies chosen this year by the Blue Star to enter the Martial Divine Hall¡­ I¡¯m following the principal¡¯s arrangement, responsible for escorting them here.¡±


    ¡°The new crop of prodigies for the Martial Divine Hall?¡±


    ¡°Martial Divine Hall newcomers?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look toward the nine figures in the distance. Under the inquiry of the Divine Palace, their Physical Quality was at most level 25.


    Li Yuan felt somewhat nostalgic for a moment.


    Time really does pass quickly.


    By age, Li Yuan was probably younger than them, but in his eyes¡­ they all seemed like youngsters.


    ¡°Besides that,¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s also hosting duties,¡± continued Dean Hai. ¡°After the war mission for the Xia Country is announced, we¡¯ll try to recruit more members from the Seven Star Mountain to return with us.¡±

 Chapter 450 - 279: Xia Country Seeks Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)

    Chapter 450: Chapter 279: Xia Country Seeks Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)


    ¡°`


    ¡°Xia Country¡¯s war mission?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes revealed a look of surprise, ¡°The Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    Studying under Teacher Lie Feng for a year, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t been oblivious to the outside world.


    He occasionally paid attention to major events within the Seven Star Civilization.


    He frequently communicated with many friends through V-chat, and chatted in various V-groups such as ¡®Seven Star Mountain Top Layer Exchange Group,¡¯ ¡®Xia Country Palace Friends Group,¡¯ ¡®2044 Blue Star Group,¡¯ among about a dozen others.


    Some groups were large, some small.


    ...


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t like to speak up, but he enjoyed lurking. Dantai Feng, for example, loved to post and often forwarded a message to many groups at once.


    Thus, Li Yuan was aware of many things.


    To his knowledge, over the past year, the most intense warfare that the Seven Star Civilization had engaged in externally was in the Mingxu Star Realm. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Mingxu Star Realm had several entry and exit points.


    But so far, the main focus had been on expanding through two entry points along Xia Country, which were the number three outpost base that Li Yuan had once visited, and another, the number four outpost base.


    Top-tier geniuses from Seven Star Mountain like Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, Tavares, had already joined the battle.


    It¡¯s important to note that there are only about thirty True Intent Prime Warriors in the entirety of Seven Star Mountain, and over ten have already joined the war¡­ the activity is even greater than during the Fierce Feather Star Realm period.


    After all, among the True Intent Prime Warriors, some need to practice in peace, and some are not too fond of life-and-death battles¡­ Having over ten participate in the war was the result of Xia Country paying a significant price and the push from the alliance¡¯s higher-ups.


    All forces within the Seven Star Civilization hope to carve out a new region for expansion.


    The rich resources of the Mingxu Star Realm are indeed tantalizing.


    ¡°Not the Mingxu Star Realm, it¡¯s the Rob Sea Star Realm,¡± Dean Hai sighed lightly, ¡°A large-scale war has erupted again, even more fierce and brutal than the one more than two years ago.¡±


    ¡°The Rob Sea Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly.


    This was a realm too familiar to him, having heard about it from childhood¡­ and the war from two years ago mentioned by Dean Hai was precisely the one that had injured his uncle.


    ¡°How did I not know?¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    ¡°Alerts were only initiated yesterday, and while the attacks from the Cloud Beast Civilization are massive, the decisive battle hasn¡¯t yet arrived, so the news has only spread within a small area of Xia Country,¡± Dean Hai explained.


    Li Yuan nodded understandingly; indeed, information spread much slower between different planets.


    ¡°Is the pressure that high now?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    Ordinary star realm wars can be resolved by the stationed forces, but if a war mission is issued from Seven Star Mountain¡­ it means local forces are insufficient, and full alliance support is necessary.


    Especially wars in a Second Level Star Realm, when True Intent Prime Warriors join the battle, it often signifies the most brutal and bloody phase.


    ¡°Quite high.¡±


    ¡°The main issue is that too many forces were previously pulled from the Rob Sea due to the outbreak of war in the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Dean Hai lamented, ¡°I¡¯m not a military commander, after all, and I don¡¯t have the details¡­ Once the war mission is dispatched, there will be a detailed explanation, and you should be informed.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan responded with a slight nod.


    Then, Li Yuan looked again at the figures in the distance heading to the conference room, ¡°Dean, why haven¡¯t you entered the Martial Divine Star Realm yet?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re still waiting for the Flying Heaven Warriors within the Martial Divine Star Realm to come and verify identities,¡± Dean Hai shook his head, ¡°The Martial Divine Star Realm isn¡¯t so easy to enter.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback, recalling last year.


    It seemed like the President had just gone straight in¡­ Semi-Divine Level authority is indeed different.


    Having been in the Martial Divine Star Realm for so long, Li Yuan had roughly understood that Fang Hai¡¯s status was likely half a rank higher than most Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ essentially equivalent to a Demigod.


    Flying Heaven Warriors were generally divided into four strength levels.


    Flying Heaven at Level 30 and 31 were considered ordinary. Most who remain at this stage were only at Perfection in Fifth Stage Skill¡­ with too weak skills and slow progress in polishing the Origin Pill, advancing further was difficult.


    Level 32, 33, and 34 were often deemed mid-stage Flying Heaven. Those who stayed at this stage for a long time were usually consolidating True Intent.


    Above Level 35 was the peak of Flying Heaven¡­ To refine an Origin Pill to such a level, skill comprehension was already very profound, reaching at least Intermediate Rank or High Rank Sixth Stage Skill.


    Level 36? Also the peak of Flying Heaven, but comes with the position of a Star Master, and one must have at least six Star Pulses awakened to achieve Level 36.


    The difference between Level 35 and 36 is more in the foundation than in strength.


    Without doubt.


    Fang Hai was among the most elite of all Flying Heaven Star Masters¡­ because his skill comprehension was already quite good even among Demigods.


    Like most True Intent Prime Warriors on Seven Star Mountain, the majority of them would ultimately plateau at the peak of Flying Heaven stage, with only a few breaking through to the Level 40 Demigod.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you really shouldn¡¯t take up this Rob Sea war mission,¡± Dean Hai suddenly said.


    ¡°Oh? Why is that?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Although you¡¯ve already condensed True Intent, I¡¯m afraid it hasn¡¯t been long since your breakthrough.¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, saying, ¡°Many Star Techniques are likely not perfected¡­ your strength has not yet grown to its peak, there¡¯s no need to rashly join the battle.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Obviously, in Dean Hai¡¯s eyes, his strength was still far from sufficient. And being a thorn in the side to many hostile Alien Races, he would risk perishing if he joined the battle.


    ¡°Dean, I will carefully consider it when the war mission comes. I¡¯m going back now, contact me if there¡¯s anything,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, go on.¡±


    ¡­Watching as Li Yuan disappeared into the star realm portal.


    For a moment, Dean Hai was lost in thought, then he sighed softly after a long while, ¡°Li Yuan has already condensed True Intent?¡±


    Dean Hai felt it was almost dreamlike.


    It had only been a year since they last met.


    Considering his age, Li Yuan had only just entered his junior year¡­ On Blue Star, reaching Fifth Stage Skill at this age would be considered top-tier genius.

 Chapter 451 - 279: Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)_2

    Chapter 451: Chapter 279: Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)_2


    Had Li Yuan already condensed the True Intent?


    The difference was too great.


    This time, among the nine new Martial Divine Hall members selected from Blue Star, only one was younger than Li Yuan.


    ¡°His speed in condensing True Intent is even faster than Old Fang,¡± thought Dean Hai with a tinge of expectation, ¡°Could it be that my Kunlun Martial University will, after another decade or two, give birth to another Demigod?¡±


    In the history of Kunlun Martial University, numerous geniuses had emerged, especially before Starfire University, Starry Sky University, and Black Stone University were founded¡­giving rise to a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But since the establishment of the university up to now, only one Demigod has been born¡ªDongfang Ji.


    ...


    After all, up to this day, only three Demigods have been born throughout Xia Country.


    ¡°Is that Senior Li Yuan who just left, Dean Hai?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it is!¡±


    ¡°Is he the Li Yuan who entered the Martial Divine Star Realm last year? Has he already condensed Heavenly Earth True Intent?¡± The nine Blue Star talents had just walked out of the meeting room and stood behind Dean Hai, unable to help themselves but to ask.


    Just now, they had watched Li Yuan flying down.


    ¡°When you enter the Martial Divine Star Realm, you will naturally understand,¡± said Dean Hai with a smile, not intentionally concealing the truth.


    Many so-called secret reports are relative.


    Many pieces of information that are secrets to ordinary Prime Warriors may be common knowledge to Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡­


    The day after returning to Seven Star Mountain.


    Li Yuan held a banquet in the only tavern in the Martial Divine Star Realm, celebrating the end of his ¡®Concealed Cultivation.¡¯


    He invited many close friends.


    People like Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Alicia, Kross, Yan Jing, and others received invitations; the number of people wasn¡¯t large, only a dozen or so.


    Some were members of Seven Star Mountain, like Yan Jing.


    But most were still just ordinary members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Before the banquet began, everyone was already chatting with each other. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Alicia, it¡¯s rare for you to come,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve held many banquets before and you were always too lazy to attend¡­ Only when Li Yuan returns to the Martial Divine Star Realm are you willing to come.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t like socializing, I can¡¯t always be eating your food,¡± Alicia responded with bright eyes and a smile.


    A year had passed, and her demeanor became more and more extraordinary.


    Her blonde hair cascaded down, and her bright eyes were like tranquil autumn waters, attracting everyone¡¯s gaze.


    If the past Alicia was already outstanding in appearance, now she had stepped up a level, the entirety of her being faintly exuded an inexplicable charm that made you feel she was more entrancing with every look.


    ¡°Don¡¯t believe Dantai Feng.¡±


    Next to her, Tian Dazhuang grinned and said, ¡°Every time he holds a banquet, it¡¯s because he has made a breakthrough in strength, hosts a banquet when he becomes a Prime Warrior, hosts a banquet when his skills reach the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank¡­ he only wants to show off.¡±


    ¡°Wait until he becomes an elite member, he¡¯ll probably invite several hundred people from the Martial Divine Hall to boast properly,¡± laughed Tian Dazhuang.


    ¡°Dazhuang,¡± Dantai Feng glared at him.


    ¡°Haha,¡± all the people in the hall laughed out loud, after being together for so long, everyone understood each other¡¯s temperament very well.


    Li Yuan watched all this with a smile.


    In the past few years, as his realm and strength had soared rapidly, becoming stronger and stronger, his communication with many good friends from high school and university, like Li Tianyou and Gu Qianghan, had become less and less.


    It was hard to even contact them once every six months, and they had fewer topics in common.


    Even with family members like his uncles and aunts, communications were occasional, just to ask if they were well¡­ but they also had fewer and fewer common topics.


    This was the price of growth.


    It was an inevitable eventuality.


    Even now, people like Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and Jin Huguo, although their strengths were far behind Li Yuan, if there was a chance, Li Yuan still very much enjoyed the times spent joyfully with his friends.


    This group of friends.


    In the year they entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, although their growth rate couldn¡¯t compare to Li Yuan¡¯s¡­their actual progress was not small, their skills had at least stepped into the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank, and their Physical Quality had also improved greatly.


    It was foreseeable that in a few more years, they would all become extremely powerful Top Grade Origin Martial Artists.


    And among this group of people¡­ the one who truly grew the fastest was not Dantai Feng, but Alicia.


    Her skills, unbeknownst to others, had already reached the Fifth Stage High Rank and even surpassed Yin Man.


    Her Physical Quality had also reached level 26.


    This rate of progression was astonishing even among the members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Without Li Yuan, Alicia would undoubtedly become a rising new star within the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°Could it be, I was wrong in my previous assumptions?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Is the one with the greatest potential in this group not Dazhuang, but Alicia?¡±


    As for Tian Dazhuang, his skill level was quickly catching up to that of Dantai Feng¡­ but compared to Alicia, it was still much slower.


    ¡°Brother Yan Jing,¡±


    Li Yuan looked at Yan Jing, who was sitting aside, and smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve heard from quite a few people that Brother has successfully condensed True Intent? Congratulations.¡±


    This was a piece of news Li Yuan had seen in a V-group.


    ¡°Ah,¡± Yan Jing was startled at first, then smiled and said, ¡°It was just a fluke, a fluke to have condensed True Intent.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Yan Jing brother has actually condensed True Intent?¡±


    ¡°Awesome! He must be the second True Intent Origin Martial Artist to emerge from Seven Star Mountain this year.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Bertman recently made a breakthrough,¡± someone added.


    ¡°To achieve Heavenly Earth True Intent, how difficult it is, Brother Yan is only in his thirties,¡± the group who were originally chatting exploded with conversation, their eyes revealing envy.


    They were not very familiar with Yan Jing to begin with; only Jin Huguo and Yan Jing communicated more.


    After all, there was an age difference, and they weren¡¯t familiar in the past.


    But condensing True Intent was completely different¡­ it meant standing among the strongest cohort in Seven Star Mountain.


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, only a few True Intent Origin Martial Artists were born each year, and each one was extraordinary.


    As everyone was congratulating Yan Jing,


    Suddenly,


    Whoosh!


    A figure clad in a fiery red robe appeared at the entrance of the hall: ¡°Li Yuan, sorry for the delay, I am late.¡±

    Chapter 452: Chapter 279: Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Unity)_3


    Instantly, many eyes were drawn to the figure.


    Dressed in a fiery red robe, with long hair fluttering, the entire person seemed like life in full bloom, not in an alluring way, but an unabashed display of vitality and energy.


    ¡°So beautiful.¡±


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen her before.¡± Almost everyone fell silent, holding their breath as they gazed at the newcomer.


    Subconsciously, many couldn¡¯t help but compare her to Alicia.


    ...


    You should know.


    In the previous year, Alicia had almost become recognized as the number one beauty in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    As martial artists improve their Life Level, their skin, hair, muscles, and bones constantly transform, becoming exceptionally lovely¡­ but that intrinsic aura and temperament are hard to change.


    Upon comparison, people realized.


    The two were simply at opposite extremes, one as fiery as flames, the other as gentle as water.


    ¡°Lanyue, you¡¯ve arrived.¡± Li Yuan stood up, revealing a hint of a smile, ¡°Come, have a seat.¡±


    ¡°Lanyue? Is it Lin Lanyue?¡±


    ¡°Her?¡± Those like Kross, Si Feng, and Alicia who had participated in the Fierce Feather Star Realm immediately understood who she was.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue, you¡¯ve also joined the Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± Tian Dazhuang, who was sitting to the side, laughed, ¡°If I remember correctly, you and Li Yuan were high school classmates, right? Back then, your relationship seemed quite special.¡±


    ¡°Yes, high school classmates.¡± Lin Lanyue replied with a slight smile, her voice clear and full of vitality.


    At that time, the three of them had all attended the special invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University.


    Therefore, Tian Dazhuang also had some impression of Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°High school classmates?¡±


    ¡°Did Li Yuan just call her Lanyue?¡±


    ¡°These two?¡± Many immediately sensed something was amiss.


    For top talents like them, for a single high school to have produced two, it was almost impossible.


    Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue¡¯s relationship, their way of addressing each other¡­ it was hard not to let one¡¯s thoughts run wild.


    People like Kross, Si Feng, and Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help but glance towards Alicia; they knew her better privately and could vaguely guess Alicia¡¯s feelings for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Everyone, listen to me.¡±


    ¡°I would like to introduce Lin Lanyue, from Blue Star Xia Country; she was specially invited to join the Martial Divine Hall a few days ago.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I hope everyone will have more interaction in the future.¡±


    Lin Lanyue also nodded with a smile towards everyone.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Specially invited?¡± Everyone was somewhat surprised, especially talents like Dantai Feng with deep backgrounds and high awareness of the difficulty of being specially invited.


    Alicia also looked on with a smile.


    ¡°Alicia, your rival has come, and I¡¯m certain she has her sights set on Li Yuan.¡± A youthful voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°Moreover, I sense a very unpleasant aura on her¡­ the aura of a True Phoenix. She must have awakened the True Phoenix Bloodline, and I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s close to pureblood.¡±


    ¡°True Phoenix?¡± Alicia responded in confusion.


    ¡°A kind of Divine Beast.¡± The youthful voice said, ¡°An adult can become a Divine Being.¡±


    ¡°Although she¡¯s not pureblood, having such a rich bloodline will give her an astonishing affinity with the Fire element, making her a potential Demigod.¡±


    ¡°I suspect that the World within Worlds we encountered before was left by a Divine Level True Phoenix, and this little one called Lin Lanyue has received the Divine Being Inheritance.¡± The youthful voice continued, ¡°That¡¯s why she has been specially invited to join.¡±


    A potential Demigod? Divine Being Inheritance? Alicia was inwardly shocked, knowing what this implied.


    ¡°Li Yuan is so outstanding, isn¡¯t it normal for her to like him?¡± Alicia said calmly, ¡°It just proves my own good judgment.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried you won¡¯t be able to compete?¡± The youthful voice teased.


    ¡°Love isn¡¯t something you can fight over.¡± Alicia replied calmly, ¡°Besides, cultivation is the foundation.¡±


    ¡°I do like Li Yuan, but becoming a Divine Being is my ultimate goal.¡±


    ¡°Haha, that¡¯s more like it.¡± The youthful voice laughed, ¡°Once you¡¯re a Demigod, becoming a Divine Being¡­ you¡¯ll naturally understand that love and affection are just embellishments in your long life.¡±


    However, what the youthful voice couldn¡¯t see was the resolute gleam that flashed deep within Alicia¡¯s eyes.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, the banquet ended.


    People bid their farewells to Li Yuan and left one after another.


    Lin Lanyue stayed till the end.


    Numerous service robots cleaned up the entire banquet hall¡­ Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue also stepped out of the restaurant and came to the plaza outside, where a gentle breeze was blowing, quite comfortably.


    ¡°Lanyue, congratulations on your apprenticeship.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Having gained the approval of the Boundary Spirit, your progress must be substantial.¡±


    Li Yuan had long employed Divine Palace Inquiry, confirming that Lin Lanyue¡¯s Physical Quality had reached level 23.


    ¡°It was also luck that I managed to endure six Fire Refining Nirvana trials, which fully awakened my bloodline, leading to this progress.¡± Lin Lanyue laughed, not concealing anything and recounted her experiences in the Hall of Inheritance.


    First, because Li Yuan himself is the successor to an Earth System Divine Being Inheritance.


    Secondly, Lin Lanyue trusted Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    When he heard Lin Lanyue speak calmly about the torturous pain of ¡®Fire Refining Nirvana,¡¯


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at Lin Lanyue, unable to detect any emotional fluctuations on her face¡­ Lin Lanyue talked as if she was recounting someone else¡¯s pain.


    For the first time, Li Yuan felt a strong conviction in Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    No one could go through such an ordeal without a powerful belief to sustain them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, to you and many others, I must seem like one of those exceedingly lucky people.¡± Lin Lanyue suddenly smiled.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± asked Li Yuan.


    ¡°My mother is an elder of the Blazing Flame Family in the Flying Heaven Realm.¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile, ¡°My father is also a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ As a youngster, my talent wasn¡¯t considered high, but with my parents¡¯ support, my cultivation speed was decent¡­ later, in my senior year of high school, I was lucky to awaken a trace of the True Phoenix Bloodline, eventually relying on my bloodline to become a named disciple of a Divine Being.¡±

    Chapter 453: Chapter 279: Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Unity)_4


    ¡°It seems like it¡¯s all due to good luck,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Be it bloodline or fate, so-called luck is indeed a part of cultivation.¡±


    Lucky?


    Would you say that awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was a stroke of good luck?


    Would someone like Principal Fang Hai, with his exceptional talent, be considered lucky? S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°My mother was the youngest Flying Heaven Warrior and the one with the purest bloodline in the Blazing Flame Family,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes flashed with a tinge of reminiscence, ¡°She was originally arranged by the family to marry another elder¡­ to produce an offspring with an even purer bloodline.¡±


    ...


    ¡°But my mother fell in love with my father, who was just a Prime Warrior at the time.¡±


    ¡°They married in secret and had my older brother, which infuriated the Blazing Flame Family, but they couldn¡¯t stop it¡­ Later, shortly after I was born, my mother was gravely injured in a major battle and returned to Blazing Flame City to recuperate,¡± Lin Lanyue said, ¡°But my older brother, my second brother, and I, none of us awakened the True Phoenix Bloodline¡­ which left the Blazing Flame Family thoroughly disappointed, and they used her recovery as an excuse to imprison my mother and prevent our family from reuniting.¡±


    ¡°Even after my father later became a Flying Heaven Warrior, it didn¡¯t change the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s decision,¡± Lin Lanyue said somberly.


    Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully.


    He understood why the Blazing Flame Family made such a decision.


    For a family like that, the interests of the clan outweighed the individual¡¯s.


    If two Flying Heaven Warriors with pure bloodlines were to marry, it could potentially give rise to several more Flying Heaven Warriors for the family¡­ and even produce an offspring who meets the requirements for a Divine Being Inheritance.


    You see, the original intention of the Demigod who founded the Blazing Flame Family in Flame City was to produce an offspring with a bloodline that meets the Boundary Spirit¡¯s requirements.


    If a Flying Heaven Elder breaks the clan rules without facing any punishment, how could they command the respect of their fellow clanspeople?


    ¡°My father was off at war all year round, and my older brothers commenced their own lives once they grew up,¡± Lin Lanyue said calmly, ¡°Originally, my father wanted to send me to the city to study, but I didn¡¯t want to go and stayed in the Guan Mountain District.¡±


    ¡°After all, that¡¯s where all my childhood memories are.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately recalled Gu Qianghan mentioning that Lin Lanyue had been living on her own since elementary school. (Chapter 61)


    Perhaps her living conditions were also quite comfortable.


    But Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart must have been very lonely.


    ¡°So from a young age, you¡¯ve worked hard and endured the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s rigorous training, the numerous trials and torments in World within Worlds, all to reunite your family?¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    He knew that Lin Lanyue had always trained hard, although not quite keeping up with his ¡¯24-hour¡¯ training. (Chapter 98)


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°But this goal was achieved the moment my father became a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, and I awakened my bloodline,¡± Lin Lanyue said, ¡°My mother was then released and reinstated as an elder.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in realization.


    Indeed, he was unaware of these secrets.


    ¡°When I first entered World within Worlds, I quietly vowed that once I became a disciple of a Divine Being, and later a Demigod who would take control of the Blazing Flame Family, I would sweep away all the archaic and bad customs of the family,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes were resolute, and her voice filled with conviction.


    Li Yuan now understood.


    This, most likely, was Lin Lanyue¡¯s inner obsession, supporting her every step of the way up to today.


    Awakening her bloodline was her luck.


    But without this conviction, she could never have overcome so many obstacles to reach a complete Transformation.


    ¡°The hardest times are already behind you; I believe you¡¯ll definitely become a Demigod,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you,¡± Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan with a grateful smile, ¡°for being willing to listen to me ramble for so long.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been bottled up for so long; now that I¡¯ve said it, I feel much better.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan watched Lin Lanyue depart on a flying vehicle.


    Standing in the plaza, facing the breeze, he contemplated for a long while.


    ¡°Everyone has their own pursuit.¡±


    ¡°Having an obsession, a pursuit, and persevering in it makes one more likely to achieve great success,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Immediately after, a hint of determination appeared in his eyes, ¡°I need to perfect my Star Technique as soon as possible, so I can set off for the Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    Just then.


    Li Yuan had received detailed instructions and requirements regarding the ¡®Rob Sea Star Realm guard mission.¡¯


    After briefly reviewing the details,


    Li Yuan made his decision¡ªto accept the mission.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan shot into the sky, soaring toward the undulating mountain range above.


    This scene was immediately witnessed by many members of the Martial Divine Hall who had just come out of the lecture buildings.


    ¡°Flying?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a True Intent Prime Warrior!¡±


    ¡°How do I see it, it appears to be Li Yuan?¡± These Martial Divine Hall members were somewhat shocked.


    Li Yuan had a significant reputation in the Martial Divine Star Realm, completely on par with Lude Nef, and perhaps even more renowned.


    Rapidly,


    ¡®Li Yuan has condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth¡¯ spread like a hurricane among the thousands of Martial Divine Hall members.

 Chapter 454 - 280: The Power of Li Yuan! Star Technique Cultivation (Request for Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 454: Chapter 280: The Power of Li Yuan! Star Technique Cultivation (Request for Monthly Pass)


    News of Li Yuan¡¯s condensation of the true intent of heaven and earth spread wildly in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan has broken through?¡±


    ¡°Condensing true intent? How old is he? He¡¯s only a little behind Bertman, right?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say. When he climbed Seven Star Mountain, his strength was much stronger than Bertman. Maybe he broke through even earlier and just never leaked the news.¡± The discussions were rife.


    Especially for Dantai Feng, Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Yan Jing, and the others, they were even more astonished because they had just been at a gathering, congratulating Yan Jing on condensing the true intent of heaven and earth.


    They never expected that in just a short while, news of Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough would come, making them feel a bit strange.


    ...


    During the banquet, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t revealed a thing.


    However, regardless, over a thousand members of the Martial Divine Hall already knew.


    Li Yuan, this peerless genius who set the youngest record on Seven Star Mountain, had, after one year, once again made the record of ¡®the youngest true intent Origin Warrior in the Seven Star Civilization¡¯, firmly standing at the peak ranks of Seven Star Mountain.


    The members of the Martial Divine Hall vaguely divided into four levels: ordinary disciples, elite disciples, ordinary Seven Star Mountain members, and true intent Origin Warriors.


    Elite disciples usually compare favorably with the top-grade Origin Martial Artists of the outside world, and are even stronger.


    Ordinary Seven Star Mountain members at least, reach the threshold of Fifth Stage Perfection in skill realm, and possess the strength of a Flying Heaven Warrior, just without the ability to fly.


    There were about thirty true intent Origin Warriors in total. Each of them could fly and escape through the earth, with every one being able to suppress an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior. The more powerful among them could even kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, and now Li Yuan belonged to this level.


    At the pinnacle stood, first Lude Nef and now Yu Jinghe.


    Both of them had proven through action that they had the power to contend against a group of ordinary Flying Heavens single-handedly.


    ¡­


    In the villa mansion on Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°These guys.¡± Li Yuan looked at the messages being passed around by more than a dozen people in the group, all talking about him becoming a true intent Origin Warrior.


    He closed the V chat.


    He calmed down for a while.


    ¡°The Rob Sea war has caused heavy casualties, and many from Xia Country are heading there to reinforce.¡± Li Yuan suddenly recalled seeing the detailed introduction to the battle situation a moment ago, and a surge of nameless anger arose in his heart.


    Defending the homeland had been his ideal since childhood.


    Due to his uncle¡¯s incident, his hatred for the Alien Race deep in the Rob Sea Star Realm intensified, and he had once sworn that one day he would enter deep into the Rob Sea Star Realm for revenge.


    Now, with the outbreak of a new round of war, Li Yuan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.


    He decided to take action.


    This was also a form of real combat training.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, Wu Manong, and the others are trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°If I don¡¯t act, probably only one or two true intent Origin Warriors from Seven Star Mountain will accept the mission to go. It might not be enough to win this battle.¡±


    The Rob Sea war might seem fierce, but as it didn¡¯t touch upon the foundation of the Seven Star Alliance, the higher-ups of the alliance wouldn¡¯t make demands, leaving it entirely up to the geniuses of Seven Star Mountain to volunteer for the war.


    ¡°If I join the battle, once the news leaks, I fear it will prompt the top talents of the Tianliang Clan to make a move, seeking to kill me.¡± Li Yuan contemplated, a glint in his eyes: ¡°Then, I must reach my current limit of strength as much as possible.¡±


    Hum~


    The smart ring vibrated, and Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look down.


    ¡°Oh? The Martial Divine Hall has changed my Seven Star Mountain ranking to 32nd?¡± Li Yuan mused, receiving a notice from the highest level of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Over the past year, he had been following Lie Feng Semi Divine in his cultivation and hadn¡¯t participated in any missions. Without anyone knowing his true strength, naturally, his ranking wouldn¡¯t rise.


    ¡°32nd?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, scanning the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 29.9 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 1,002,200 kilograms


    Speed: 420 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 36.9


    Willpower: 36


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 45% (current upper limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: Five-Star Meridian (10 Layers+6 Layers+5 Layers+5 Layers+4 Layers)


    Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Wind (Fifth Stage 98%), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 3%), Mysteries of Wood (Fifth Stage 2%)


    Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡±: First Order Level 9 (9)


    Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡±: Second Order Level 5 (10)


    ¡­


    ¡°My Life Level has long reached the Second Order Limit.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°To make my foundational strength stronger, I either have to cultivate a stronger Body Refining Star Technique or break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    But with just five-star meridians and still a bit away from the six-star pulse, Li Yuan naturally would not break through.


    ¡°Reaching the six-star meridian is already so difficult, let alone getting to seven star veins and eight star veins ¨C how much more difficult could that be?¡± Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    In the past year, apart from deducing and contemplating the mysteries of heaven and earth, Li Yuan had also never relaxed in his visualization method and awakening of star meridians.


    However, awakening star meridians became increasingly difficult as he progressed. Over the year, the five awakened star meridians had indeed grown stronger, with even the weakest reaching the Fourth Layer¡­ yet he had still not formed a new star meridian.


    Of course, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too anxious.


    Regarding cultivation, whether it was star meridian awakening or growth in spiritual power and many other aspects, it all became more and more difficult as one progressed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, like Lude Nef, it took several years just to reach five-star meridians¡­ then more than a decade to awaken to the level of a six-star pulse.


    In comparison, Li Yuan¡¯s speed of star meridian awakening was already astounding.


    Star meridian awakening is related to one¡¯s inherent star meridian talent, spiritual power, skill prowess, and other factors.


    ¡°If my spiritual power reaches the Semi Divine level, that would significantly enhance my actual combat power.¡± Li Yuan shook his head internally: ¡°It would also speed up the awakening of star meridians, and maybe even bring the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening to 50%, allowing for a second Spiritual Guidance.¡±


    Alas, that was even harder to reach.


    Even with practicing Visualization Method, spiritual power had entered a sort of major bottleneck after the breakthrough at level 36¡­ progress becoming slower and slower.


    The same was true.


    To date, Li Yuan had no clear idea of how much spiritual power was needed to raise the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening¡­ it all remained unknown.


    ¡°Enhancing strength essentially comes down to four aspects: foundation, weapons, skill realm, and star techniques.¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Skill Realm? In the past year, Li Yuan made astounding progress in the Wind Vein.


    In the aspect of the True Meaning of Earth, it seemed to remain at the Initial Rank of the Sixth Stage, but in reality, he had made tremendous progress, or else he wouldn¡¯t have been able to combine the two Mysteries with each other.


    Even during his perception of the world¡¯s Mysteries, without realizing it, he had already made preliminary entries into the Mysteries of Water and the Mysteries of Wood¡­ but that was merely an entry-level understanding. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was all quite normal, as the operation of all things and the Mysteries of the world are inherently a whole.


    According to what Li Yuan knew, for example, a Fire System Semi Divine who had cultivated for hundreds of years, often unknowingly reached Perfection Level of the Fifth Stage in many aspects like the Mystery of Wind, the Mystery of Metal, and so on.


    This is one law leading to the birth of thousands of others.


    However, after Li Yuan had briefly attempted, he confirmed that his talent in the Mysteries of Water and the Mysteries of Wood was quite ordinary and had not deliberately distracted himself with further contemplation¡­ Even with all his confidence, he didn¡¯t believe he could succeed in mastering the four Great Laws concurrently.


    ¡°In terms of skills.¡±


    ¡°Unless the True Meaning of Earth steps into the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage, or the Mystery of Wind condenses true intent, a significant change in the short term will be difficult.¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Understanding the Mysteries of the world cannot be forced.¡±


    ¡°Only weapons and Star Techniques are left.¡±


    ¡­


    After pondering for a while.


    ¡°Other Level 29 Origin Warriors can often only cultivate one or two Star Techniques.¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°But I first cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique making my body¡¯s foundation extremely strong, and the Star Meridians also incredibly powerful, perhaps allowing me to cultivate an additional Star Technique.¡±


    Li Yuan was not entirely sure, he could only try.


    Among the many Star Techniques he had been taught, the one Li Yuan chose was the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Shadow Division Technique.¡±


    There were three reasons.


    First, once he achieved some success in cultivation, it would make his ultimate move ¡®Shadow Domain¡¯ more terrifying and unpredictable.


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s strongest move; naturally, he wanted to make the strong point even stronger.


    Second, in times of danger, using ¡°Shadow Division Technique¡± could also serve as a cover, and although not as directly enhancing speed and movement technique like the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Wind Feather¡±, it could play a significant role in saving his life.


    Third, the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Shadow Division Technique¡± and the Seven Stars Technique ¡°Ninefold Shadow Clone¡± stem from the same lineage. In the future, as his Star Meridians grow stronger, he would be able to cultivate ¡°Ninefold Shadow Clone¡± without any obstacles.


    ¡°Even though Star Techniques can be re-cultivated, the deeper one¡¯s practice, the more profound the price to pay for each re-cultivation, and it can also have an impact on the body.¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°In choosing a Star Technique, one must be extremely careful.¡±


    Other Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors might not care as much.


    After all, for most Flying Heaven Warriors, being able to cultivate a Seventh Layers Star Technique is already very precious.


    But the goal Li Yuan set for himself was to cultivate at least a Seventh Layers Star Technique for each Star Meridian, or to practice ordinary Star Techniques that wouldn¡¯t affect his future.


    Better to have none than to have something flawed.


    ¡­


    ¡°To cultivate ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯, one method is to rely on oneself, using Origin Power within the body¡­ To cultivate to the First Order Limit it would take a minimum of three months, or as long as six months.¡± Li Yuan was reading the various requirements of this Star Technique, ¡°To cultivate to the Second Order Limit would take between one and three years.¡±


    Three months? Three years?


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait that long.¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°I must think of a way to use external objects to assist in cultivation.¡±


    Generally, low-level Star Techniques and common Star Techniques can be cultivated without external objects, but it would require a lot of time.


    However, for high-level Star Techniques, such as ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± and ¡°Ninefold Shadow Clone¡± and so on, they need a large number of precious and rare treasures¡­ without such treasures, even with Li Yuan¡¯s awakening of the Seventh Layers Star Vein, he could at most slowly cultivate them to the First Order Limit, making them almost impossible to cultivate to the current limit.


    ¡­


    Virtual network, Starfire Space.


    ¡°53,500 Seven Stars Points?¡± Li Yuan opened the Seven Star Treasure Vault and looked at his points page, unwittingly revealing a smile.


    There were the 30,000 Seven Stars Points given by the Dean.


    And the 20,000 points gifted by the Semi Divine Lie Feng¡­ for the time being, he was indeed not lacking in points.


    After a quick browse through many vaults.


    ¡°Purchase 30 units of ¡®Wind Source Marrow¡¯, costing 1,200 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Purchase in a short time, enough external treasures to cultivate ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, costing 8,600 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Also purchase a set of Third Rank high-quality Battle Garment, among other life-saving items¡­ totaling 2,100 Seven Stars Points.¡± Li Yuan quickly placed his orders.


    Tens of thousands of Seven Stars Points were spent just like that.


    The second Star Meridian was close to awakening to the Seventh Layers, so Li Yuan had to prepare in advance for cultivating ¡°Great Earth Divine Body.¡±


    ¡­


    Just six hours later, the many treasures Li Yuan needed were urgently sent over, escorted by two Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Also delivered were.


    Six bottles of Divine Spirit Liquid, enough for Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation needs for the next half year.


    ¡­


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin cultivation.¡± Li Yuan received the many treasures and, without much hesitation, began trying to cultivate the ¡°Shadow Division Technique.¡±


    After a brief try.


    ¡°Haha, as expected, I can enter the threshold.¡± A light flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes; his strong physical foundation indeed allowed him to cultivate more Star Techniques.


    He continued to cultivate patiently.


    ¡­


    As time passed, three days later.


    In the war base outside of the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside a conference room.


    ¡°Alas.¡±


    ¡°Just as I expected, not many are willing to join the battle.¡± Dean Hai sighed internally, ¡°Only three members from Seven Star Mountain have accepted the mission, and all are ranked after the 50th position.¡±


    Those ranked after 50 were not True Intent Origin Martial Artists, hence not much help in the battle.


    What Dean Hai hoped for was to have True Intent Origin Warriors participate in the battle.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm, two more Seven Star Mountain members have accepted the mission?¡± Dean Hai suddenly received the notification, ¡°Rank 31? Rank 32?¡±


    A glimmer of hope crossed his mind, ¡°Are these two, True Intent Origin Warriors?¡±

    ¡°`


    Seven Star Mountain, in the Martial Arts Room of the villa residence.


    The Martial Arts Room belonging to Seven Star Mountain members was even more massive compared to those of ordinary and elite members.


    Both the length and width reached one kilometer, and the height was an astonishing 200 meters¡­ Such a vast Martial Arts Room was enough for a Prime Warrior practicing True Intent to cultivate moves.


    Li Yuan was standing in the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    Whoosh!~ Accompanied by an invisible fluctuation, Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, and instantly he split into two shadows, wearing clothes of identical design, completely indistinguishable to the naked eye.


    ...


    Two Li Yuans


    Boom! Boom!


    Both shadows moved at the same time, instantly bursting out with terrifying speed. In a mere blink, they had both dashed hundreds of meters across the ground.


    Immediately after, one of the Li Yuan¡¯s shadows moved again.


    The two shadows instantly became three.


    ¡°This ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯ cultivated to the Second Order Limit is truly astonishing in its effectiveness. It actually allows me to invoke the Mystery of Wind and form two Phantom Bodies in an instant,¡± Li Yuan thought in amazement: ¡°Before I started cultivating, I could hardly form even one Phantom Body.¡±


    The Mystery of Wind has many aspects that one could explore, some of which are inclined towards speed, pursuing extreme Burst Speed.


    Some tend towards ¡®Shadow Stealth,¡¯ like Lude Nef, who specializes in this path, extremely adept at assassinating his opponents.


    However, from the beginning, Li Yuan was aiming at integrating with the Mysteries of Earth, emphasizing the ¡®Phantom Body¡¯ aspect of the Mysteries of Wind, sharing similarities with Lude Nef¡¯s path, yet not entirely the same.


    ¡°A normal Fifth Stage Perfection¡¯s comprehension, forming even one Phantom Body is difficult.¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile: ¡°Yet with the help of Star Technique, I managed to form two Phantom Bodies.¡±


    ¡°And each Phantom Body possesses a certain degree of attacking power, with even more deceiving qualities,¡± he continued.


    Star Technique, in essence, is about maximizing the potential of one¡¯s body and the comprehension of the mysteries of heaven and earth to make oneself perform at two hundred, or even three hundred percent strength.


    ¡°Combining the Mysteries of Earth and Wind,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved again, invoking the True Meaning of Earth.


    Boom!


    Within a few tens of meters, fine yellow streams of earthy energy formed, as the three Li Yuans in the Domain employed their movement technique, moving unpredictably and with shocking speed.


    ¡°In the Domain, the Phantom Body is like a fish in water,¡± he remarked.


    ¡°On their own, my True Meaning of Earth and Mystery of Wind would not be considered strong among Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered with anticipation: ¡°But combined, in terms of pure skill, I should be approaching many Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°I chose the right path,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The deeper one goes in skill comprehension, the harder it becomes.


    Talented individuals like Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe, young leaders of a generation in the Seven Star Civilization, took over 10 years just to advance the Mysteries of True Intent from Initial Rank of Sixth Stage to the Intermediate Rank.


    During his year following Lie Feng Semi Divine, Li Yuan dedicated most of his effort to the comprehension of the Mystery of Wind.


    If he had focused on the comprehension of the Mystery of Earth, with Li Yuan¡¯s training pace, one could say that there was a certain hope to advance the True Meaning of Earth to the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage¡­ but that wasn¡¯t a sure thing either.


    Even if he did break through with the True Meaning of Earth, his overall strength would still be far less than it is now.


    ¡°Combination of Mysteries, has its pros and cons,¡± Li Yuan mused: ¡°But at least for now, combining the two Mysteries of heaven and earth seem to promote each other, the advantages outweighing the disadvantages.¡± S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whew!


    With a thought, the two Phantom Bodies Li Yuan had manifested dissipated.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°The mission application has been approved?¡± Li Yuan glanced down at the smart ring on his hand.


    Applying for a mission also needed upper-level approval to qualify to participate in battle.


    ¡°Time to go.¡± Li Yuan quickly packed up his belongings and then headed to the palace exterior.


    Swoosh!


    Turning into a streak of light, he flew toward the entrance to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Not long after.


    After passing through the identity check at the entrance, Li Yuan smoothly entered the passage¡­ Ordinary members of Martial Divine Hall were not allowed to leave at will without permission.


    ¡­In the wartime base outside.


    Inside a conference room.


    ¡°Haha, Yan Jing, it turns out to be you.¡± Dean Hai laughed: ¡°I was guessing who had taken the mission, never would have thought it was you.¡±


    ¡°I must also congratulate you on successfully condensing True Intent,¡± Dean Hai laughingly continued: ¡°To become a True Intent Prime Warrior, you¡¯re among the elite in the Martial Divine Star Realm, no doubt stronger than me in the future, and the school will be proud of you.¡±


    ¡°The student dares not,¡± Yan Jing laughed: ¡°I can only say I haven¡¯t disgraced the school.¡±


    ¡°The student also didn¡¯t expect, Dean Hai, that it would be you coming to pick us up,¡± he added.


    Apart from Li Yuan, Yan Jing and Jin Huguo have been the most outstanding students at Kunlun Martial University in recent decades.


    Yan Jing was from the Second Academy and was not one of Dean Hai¡¯s students.


    But now seeing each other again, they felt a sense of closeness.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just condensed True Intent, are you sure you¡¯re up for it?¡± Dean Hai inquired, still somewhat worried.


    ¡°Rest assured, Dean Hai.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been cultivating my Star Technique to the utmost for many years,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile: ¡°Now that True Intent has broken through, with just a little adaptation, I¡¯ll be able to exert my strength to the fullest.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± nodded Dean Hai: ¡°You¡¯re Seven Star Mountain 31, do you know who 32 is? Is it a True Intent Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°32? Number 32 also applied for combat?¡± Yan Jing was taken aback at first.


    He hadn¡¯t seen the latest rankings of Seven Star Mountain yet.


    Suddenly, Yan Jing thought of news from a few days ago and a figure he was considering mentioning¡­


    ¡°Dean Hai, Brother Yan Jing,¡± a voice came from the door.


    Then, a figure appeared, dressed in a black Battle Garment.


    ¡°Li Yuan? It¡¯s really you!¡± Yan Jing brightened up.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Dean Hai was astounded.


    ¡­


    The arrival of Li Yuan took both Yan Jing and Dean Hai by surprise.


    Soon Dean Hai realized.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 456 - 281: Arriving at the Rob Sea_2

    Chapter 456: Chapter 281: Arriving at the Rob Sea_2


    Yan Jing broke through not long ago and was promoted to number 31¡­ Li Yuan seemed to have just broken through, so naturally, he should be promoted to number 32.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯re taking this a bit lightly.¡±


    Dean Hai said solemnly, ¡°The pressure of war in the Rob Sea is indeed great, but after all, it hasn¡¯t reached the brink of life or death¡­ It¡¯s not time for you to take risks recklessly.¡±


    Some very important missions can lead to the higher-ups of the alliance to order the talents of Seven Star Mountain to participate in the war compulsorily.


    Places like Fierce Feather Star Realm, Mingxu Star Realm¡­ barely qualify as such tasks.


    The war in Rob Sea Star Realm? It is also important, but even if we lose once, it will at most affect the local area¡­ it won¡¯t have a huge impact on the entire Seven Star Civilization, so the alliance will not issue compulsory orders.


    ...


    After all, there are only so many talents from Seven Star Mountain; they need a lot of time to train. If they are to fight in every small and big war in the Second Level Star Realms, the death rate will soar¡­ which is not beneficial for the long-term development of the entire civilization.


    Good steel must be used on the blade¡¯s edge.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just broken through recently, what you should do is concentrate on cultivation and solidify your foundation.¡± Dean Hai said gravely.


    He knew about Li Yuan¡¯s grudge with the Alien Race in Rob Sea Star Realm¡­ which was why, during their meeting two days ago, he urged Li Yuan not to apply for any missions.


    ¡°Dean, I am confident.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that we have to wait for another Seven Star Mountain member to arrive before we set off?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, how about we have a sparring match in this brief time?¡±


    ¡°Spar with me?¡± A glint flashed in Dean Hai¡¯s eyes, as if he was sizing up Li Yuan all over again.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Jing¡¯s eyes as well.


    You should know, Dean Hai is not some newly advanced Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ his strength is extraordinary.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, I won¡¯t use any Star Technique, and I will also hold back some power, as long as you can withstand my attack.¡± Dean Hai said in a deep voice, ¡°Then I will agree for you to join the battle, otherwise¡­ I will definitely report to the principal and revoke your mission qualification.¡±


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    ¡­


    The bottom of this battle station base.


    There¡¯s a vast space for combat and practice.


    Just in terms of space size, it¡¯s even bigger than the Martial Arts Room in Li Yuan¡¯s Seven Star Mountain, and the material of the combat space is special, fully able to withstand the sparring of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Inside the combat space, Li Yuan and Dean Hai stand hundreds of meters apart, with only Yan Jing as a spectator.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan instantly used the Body Refining Star Technique, transforming his body to three meters tall, his entire being emitting a robust and powerful aura.


    Third Rank top quality Battle Garment flowed like water over his entire body, covering even his head completely, with scales all black, only the surface faintly streaked with a tinge of earthy yellow glow.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong aura.¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes brightened; as a formidable individual, he naturally sensed the change in Li Yuan¡¯s life force.


    With this Body Refining Star Technique, it pushed Li Yuan¡¯s physical foundation soaring to the threshold of the Flying Heaven Level.


    Boom!


    Dean Hai no longer held back, a flicker of his form and he had already moved in front of Li Yuan.


    Swish~ A streak of blue saber light tore through the vast sky, attacking Li Yuan like lightning.


    ¡°Clang!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s form moved like a gust of wind, and as he thrust forward with his long spear, he struck the saber light, blocking this terrifying strike.


    The two immediately engaged in a fierce fight.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Nine consecutive slashes of saber light exploded like endless waves, and as they struck, Li Yuan felt as if he were enveloped by an endless flow of water¡­ this was the Mystery of Water¡¯s True Meaning.


    Immediately, he was forced back, step by step. Li Yuan¡¯s form flickered nine times and had already retreated hundreds of meters.


    Nine collisions made it clear to Li Yuan that he couldn¡¯t withstand it by force.


    Dean Hai, after all, was at level 34, and even without deploying Star Techniques and holding back his power¡­ his strength was still terrifying.


    ¡°Shadow Domain.¡± Li Yuan directly executed his trump card.


    Rumble~


    Streams of earthy yellow energy burst forth in an instant, enveloping an area of dozens of meters, followed by Li Yuan splitting into three, with three phantom bodies simultaneously wielding long spears and attacking Dean Hai with shouts.


    ¡°Phantom Body?¡±


    ¡°To form so many phantoms within a domain?¡± Dean Hai was caught off guard, and his Divine Sense swept over them, unable to differentiate¡­ If phantoms formed by the Fifth Layers Star Technique could be so easily identified, that would be too weak.


    Boom!


    Dean Hai also erupted in an instant, with water currents arising from nowhere, surging and colliding towards all directions, while another combat saber appeared in his left hand.


    ¡°Clang, clang, clang, clang!¡±


    The shadow of the spears and saber light, like flowing water, collided; the thrusts of the three long spears were too fast.


    For a time, even Dean Hai found it somewhat difficult to counter, completely entangled by Li Yuan.


    Yan Jing, standing afar and watching the battle, was utterly shocked by the scene: ¡°Li Yuan, he can actually fight Dean Hai to this extent?¡±


    Even though Dean Hai had put away many of his techniques.


    But the skill and mystery unleashed were real!


    ¡°Too amazing,¡± Yan Jing marveled silently, ¡°If Li Yuan were to go all out in a fight against me¡­ I¡¯m afraid I would lose my life in just a few exchanges.¡±


    The two mysteries combined.


    With three star techniques enhancing his body¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s combat power had reached a terrifying level.


    Finally.


    ¡°Domain!¡± Dean Hai erupted, having been suppressed by Li Yuan all along, this also caused him some loss of face; the water around him turned incredibly violent in an instant, with its power increasing by more than tenfold.


    Boom¡ª


    The violent water flow swept across the vast sky, like numerous water dragons slaughtering their way through, tearing apart the domain¡¯s air currents formed by Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, annihilating them layer by layer.


    Following that, the savage water flow struck towards Li Yuan¡¯s three phantom bodies.


    ¡­


    After more than ten seconds, Li Yuan gave up resistance.


    ¡°Dean Hai, I¡¯ve lost,¡± Li Yuan spread his hands, but he couldn¡¯t hide the smile on his face. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°What have you lost?¡±


    ¡°I had to use my domain star technique to defeat you,¡± Dean Hai shook his head and said with a sigh, ¡°I¡¯m getting old.¡±


    ¡°Your move just now, that should be a combination of two mysteries, right?¡± Dean Hai couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    There was no need to hide this; any normal Flying Heaven Warrior who fought against him would be able to tell, unless they were a fool.


    ¡°Dean, do I qualify to join the battle now?¡± Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    ¡°You do,¡± Dean Hai said with emotion, ¡°I really don¡¯t know how you practice, you¡¯ve been in the Martial Divine Star Realm for just one year, right? How could your strength have increased so much?¡±


    ¡°Brother Li Yuan,¡± Yan Jing flew over as well, his face full of shock, ¡°With your strength, even Yu Jinghe might not be your match.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    In terms of physical quality, techniques, star techniques, weaponry¡­ he was no less than Yu Jinghe in every aspect; naturally, his overall strength could rival, or even overcome, his opponent.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu and I have our strengths, I suppose,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°In terms of absolute offensive power, he should be stronger than me.¡±


    The True Meaning of Metal, is exceptionally good at attacking.


    A while later.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Another Seven Star Mountain member has arrived, let¡¯s get ready to go,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°Li Yuan, keep your true strength hidden for now¡­ Yan Jing, you too.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    Ten hours later.


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and three other Seven Star Mountain members, followed Dean Hai and arrived at the entrance to the Rob Sea Star Realm channel of Xia Country.


    The land was vast and desolate, with sand filling the skies.


    The setting sun, bloody red, dyed the horizon into a magnificent sea of crimson¡­ Numerous gigantic war fortresses stood tall, along with many towers of weaponry, and countless shapes of the mechanical legions, creating a spectacular sight.


    High in the sky.


    ¡°To see so many war bases gathered in one place, this is my first time,¡± Yan Jing couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Me too, I¡¯ve only seen it in videos before,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, a mysterious light flickering in his eyes, his heart filled with a surge of pride.


    His childhood dreams, without realizing it, were already coming true.


    ¡°Those three ordinary members of Seven Star Mountain have already been sent off,¡± Dean Hai said in a low voice, ¡°You two¡­ as strategic-level members, come with me to meet the highest commander here.¡±


    ¡°The highest commander?¡± Yan Jing showed a trace of confusion, ¡°Who is it?¡±


    ¡°General Lin.¡±


    ¡­


    In the super-sized conference room of a war fortress.


    Several figures clad in combat armor were present, a few of them exuding a notably strong life force.


    They were waiting here.


    ¡°Senior Lin.¡±


    A young woman dressed in a black battle garment frowned and asked, ¡°How much longer until they arrive?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush,¡± a burly figure roughly thirty years old, wearing silver combat armor, said in a deep voice.


    Suddenly, the burly figure in silver combat armor smiled, ¡°They¡¯ve arrived.¡±

 Chapter 457 - 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)

    Chapter 457: Chapter 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)


    ¡°¡±Arrived?¡± The woman in black was taken aback.


    The other few figures in the conference room couldn¡¯t help but look up towards the entrance of the room.


    In less than half a minute, three figures walked into the conference room from the corridor.


    ¡°Dean Hai, long time no see.¡± The towering figure in silver combat armor greeted him with a smile.


    ¡°General Lin.¡± Dean Hai also grinned.


    ¡°Haha, you can just call me Old Lin, or Lin Yue.¡± The towering figure in silver combat armor laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t call me General; it sounds a bit off-putting.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Alright, Old Lin it is then.¡± Dean Hai laughed, ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for quite some years. Your strength, though, has gotten stronger and stronger. I heard you¡¯ve also had a wonderful daughter.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not important.¡± Lin Yue laughed, ¡°Today, the most important thing is that you all have come to support us. The pressure facing the frontlines is tremendous.¡±


    Li Yuan followed behind Dean Hai, observing the few people inside the conference room.


    Under the inquiry of the Divine Palace,


    there were no prompts ¡®Killing can obtain spiritual nourishment¡¯, which left Li Yuan with a hint of disappointment.


    ¡°Lin Yue, these two are the True Intent Prime Warriors I invited from the Martial Divine Star Realm, both students who left our Kunlun Martial University.¡± Dean Hai smiled, ¡°This one is Yan Jing, who, although only recently condensed True Intent, has many years of formidable strength.¡±


    ¡°Young brother Yan Jing, hello.¡± Lin Yue greeted with a smile, reaching out his hand first.


    ¡°Elder Lin.¡± Yan Jing also stretched out his hand in response.


    On the way in just now, he had heard from Dean Hai about this General Lin Yue, a high-ranking figure of the Starry Sky Martial Hall and also a powerhouse of Xia Country¡¯s military, a Flying Heaven Warrior at the peak.


    More than two years ago, Lin Yue had been stationed at the Rob Sea Star Realm, and later gradually became one of the three Commanders, the ¡®Warrior Commanding General.¡¯ (Chapter 61)


    ¡°This one, you should have heard of.¡± Dean Hai pointed at Li Yuan with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    In an instant, the others in the hall all turned their eyes towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Is it him?¡±


    ¡°He has already condensed True Intent? So soon? Didn¡¯t he just go to the Martial Divine Star Realm last year?¡±


    ¡°His cultivation is progressing too fast.¡± A trace of shock appeared on the faces of the several Flying Heaven Warriors wearing general¡¯s uniforms.


    This name was well-known among the current high-rank warriors of Xia Country.


    In terms of fame, Li Yuan was completely on par with Yu Jinghe.


    And the several Flying Heaven Warriors present knew that, barring any accidents, Li Yuan¡¯s future achievements were likely to surpass those of Yu Jinghe.


    However, what the several Flying Heaven Warriors did not expect was that, just over a year after last year¡¯s Blue Star virtual combat, Li Yuan had come to the Rob Sea Star Realm in this manner.


    It was totally unexpected.


    Their hearts calculated slightly and they understood the terrifying speed of Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation, which seemed almost beyond belief.


    ¡°How could I not have heard of him.¡± Lin Yue was quite composed, smiling at Li Yuan, ¡°This is our Xia Country¡¯s number one prodigy¡­ Besides, I should be the one thanking Li Yuan.¡±


    Thank?


    The crowd was somewhat surprised.


    Only Dean Hai was not surprised; after all, it was he who had sent Li Yuan to the Fierce Feather Star Realm. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Elder Lin flatters me, I¡¯ve only done what needed doing.¡± Li Yuan replied with neither servility nor haughtiness.


    General Lin Yue before him was none other than the father of Lin Lanyue.


    Through communication with Lin Lanyue, as well as the narratives from Dean Hai and his own collected data, Li Yuan came to see¡­ Lin Yue had made tremendous contributions to the entire civilization.


    He hadn¡¯t been particularly conspicuous in his Prime Warrior phase, never having entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, but he steadily practised until he became a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength increasing faster and faster post-ascension.


    Looking about thirty years old, he was actually nearly seventy, already a peak Flying Heaven Warrior.


    At 70, for a Flying Heaven Warrior, it¡¯s still very young, and there is hope for becoming a Demigod in the future.


    In fact, Flying Heaven Warriors nurtured by the Martial Divine Star Realm are just a small part of the Seven Star Civilization.


    The vast number of Prime Warriors, many of whom may not have performed well in their youth, also undergo transformations and stand out as they gradually cultivate.


    Lin Yue was such a person.


    He also fought constantly in many places, and his presence had been seen in many star realms of the Blue Star.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yan Jing.¡± Lin Yue turned to the black-clothed woman beside him, ¡°Let me introduce you, this is also a member of the Seven Star Mountain, Luo Chan, who has comprehended the True Meaning of Fire.¡±


    ¡°Luo Chan?¡± Li Yuan and Yan Jing exchanged glances.


    They knew of this person.


    Before them, Xia Country had a total of two True Intent Prime Warriors. (Chapter 273)


    Besides Yu Jinghe, it was Luo Chan, who, according to the information they knew¡­ had spent many years cultivating at the Seven Star Mountain and now seldom returned, usually staying in Xia Country.


    Thus, they had never met her before.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yan Jing.¡± The black-clothed woman, Luo Chan, looked at them, her face without much fluctuation, ¡°What are each of you good at? We will need to fight together when we enter the Rob Sea, so at least we need to know each other¡¯s strengths. I¡¯ll go first, I¡¯m better at frontal attacks, and my Star Techniques are all for enhancing attack.¡±


    ¡°I have comprehended the True Meaning of Wind and specialize in speed,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile, ¡°My top speed, combined with Star Techniques, should be able to exceed five times the speed of sound.¡±


    ¡°Five times the speed of sound?¡± Surprise flashed in the eyes of those present.


    Normal True Intent Prime Warriors, with the aid of True Intent to fly and escape, usually have a flying speed of about three times the speed of sound.


    Five times the speed of sound? That was indeed astonishing.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what about you?¡± Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, ¡°With such a short training time, how well have you developed your Star Techniques?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve grasped the True Meaning of Earth, and what I¡¯m best at¡­ would probably be entangling the enemy. My defense is also quite good.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°As for Star Techniques, they are passable, I suppose.¡±


    He did not specify, because there were other Flying Heaven Warriors present.

 Chapter 458 - 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_2

    Chapter 458: Chapter 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_2


    Luo Chan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she was about to continue speaking.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, Luo Chan,¡± Lin Yue suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength should be greater than yours.¡±


    Perhaps the other Flying Heaven Warriors were unaware.


    But as the Commander of the Martial Artists, Dean Hai would naturally share some relevant intelligence with Lin Yue.


    Therefore, he had some understanding of Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    Once Li Yuan and his team took action, he would share detailed intelligence with Luo Chan.


    ... S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Stronger than me?¡± A trace of doubt flashed through Luo Chan¡¯s eyes.


    She had trained on Seven Star Mountain for many more years than Yu Jinghe and believed she had built up an incredibly deep foundation¡­ though she did not object.


    ¡­


    Hum~ A massive screen projection appeared in the center of the meeting room.


    Everyone turned to look at it.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yan Jing, Luo Chan,¡± Lin Yue looked at the three, ¡°You three, unlike other Prime Warriors, can all fly¡­ You are equivalent to Flying Heaven Warriors and are the sharp edge in this war, so naturally your mission is different.¡±


    All three listened intently.


    ¡°Right now, our decisive battle with the Cloud Beast Civilization has not yet erupted, but we can¡¯t delay for too much longer,¡± said Lin Yue, ¡°Based on our previous inquiry, the number of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts they have accumulated in their three brood nests is truly astounding¡­ A large-scale attack is definitely impending.¡±


    Brood nests? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    On the way back from the Martial Divine Star Realm, they had broadly understood that the Cloud Beast Civilization was a formidable Exotic Beast Civilization.


    The most miraculous aspect of this civilization was its brood nests.


    Its function was to continuously spawn a large quantity of First Rank Exotic Beasts, which fought and competed with each other.


    These struggles would consistently produce Second Rank Exotic Beasts, and even Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Cloud Beast Civilization had three brood nests, breeding a large number of Exotic Beasts. The elite amongst them, after multiple screenings for those with high talent, would mostly be sent back to the Cloud Beast Civilization for further nurturing¡­ But the vast remnants of ordinary Exotic Beasts still needed to consume resources for prolonged survival¡­ Therefore, they let these Exotic Beasts serve as cannon fodder to attack the Seven Star Civilization.


    For decades, every 2-3 years, the Cloud Beast Civilization would ignite a horrific war.


    ¡°The Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°At present, the most dangerous are the five major front-line War Fortresses and numerous ¡®Inquiry Bases¡¯,¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°Those Inquiry Bases have mostly been subject to small-scale attacks, and many have been breached.¡±


    ¡°Senior Lin,¡± Yan Jing suddenly asked in confusion, ¡°Based on what you just said, if we are generally on the defensive, why don¡¯t we just retreat and fortify the Star Realm¡¯s entrance and exit points?¡±


    ¡°If we completely retreat, that means giving up on the Star Realm, leaving only the entrance and exit as our last line of defense,¡± Lin Yue glanced at Yan Jing, ¡°And what if this last line also falls?¡±


    Yan Jing appeared thoughtful.


    ¡°We are doing our utmost to extend our sphere of influence deep into the Star Realm, firstly to provide an early warning, and secondly to compress the living space of the Cloud Beast Civilization,¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°to prevent them from expanding recklessly.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, once we completely abandon the Star Realm, they could quickly establish the fifth or even the sixth brood nest at their leisure. Then, when a large-scale attack comes, the defense pressure will be even greater.¡±


    ¡°In history, during the time the Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯s defenses were breached, it happened just like that, ultimately resulting in tens of millions of deaths,¡± Lin Yue said solemnly, ¡°After all, the entrance and exit are becoming increasingly unstable, and at any moment could expand to thousands of kilometers. If there¡¯s a sudden expansion to thousands of kilometers without prior warning, and millions of Exotic Beasts invade Blue Star¡­ even a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors would be unable to fully defend.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, the Rob Sea Star Realm itself is rich in resources.¡±


    Li Yuan and the others now understood.


    Xia Country¡¯s defense strategy for the Rob Sea was to adopt an offensive stance and at the same time try to capture various cultivation resources of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡°Your current mission.¡±


    ¡°Is to press into the Rob Sea Star Realm according to our previous inquiries,¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°destroy each advance base established by the Cloud Beast Civilization¡­ and to strive to exterminate any Second Rank Exotic Beasts you encounter.¡±


    ¡°Especially the powerful Second Rank Exotic Beasts, if you can kill the majority¡­ when the Cloud Beast Civilization launches their attack, without powerful Second Rank Exotic Beasts to draw fire, they will suffer greatly against our War Fortresses.¡±


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and others were listening carefully.


    Potent War Fortresses were quite dangerous for even a Flying Heaven Warrior to invade alone.


    But sufficient numbers of Second Rank Exotic Beasts could also be tremendously terrifying.


    ¡°Senior Lin, are there any Flying Heaven Level beings within the Cloud Beast Civilization?¡± Li Yuan asked the crucial question.


    ¡°There are.¡±


    ¡°These are the two leaders of the Cloud Beast Civilization within the Rob Sea Star Realm that we know of,¡± Lin Yue waved his hand.


    Whoosh!


    A vast map projection appeared in the sky, showing two huge three-dimensional projections: one, a massively fearsome blood-colored Flying Serpent; the other, a titan-like armored purple-haired ape.


    ¡°These two, One is named Wu Sihai, and the other is called Ziba,¡± Lin Yue said gravely, ¡°From our long-term engagement, we know that they are very likely to have Intermediate Flying Heaven Level combat power, though the possibility of them being at the Flying Heaven Peak is very slim.¡±


    ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization is different from us. Their breakthrough probability is much lower,¡± Lin Yue said.


    ¡°Most of their Flying Heaven Level beings have very common skills, and they even struggle to comprehend True Intent, not to mention reaching the Intermediate Rank of The Sixth Stage,¡± said Lin Yue.


    Intermediate Flying Heaven Level combat power?


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly, while Yan Jing and Luo Chan exchanged looks, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.


    Such strength posed a significant threat to them.


    ¡°These two have only been recorded as taking action once,¡± Lin Yue explained gravely, ¡°and that was¡­ eight years ago when Lude Nef attacked one of their brood nests.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°That battle, Lude Nef led Yu Jinghe and a large group of True Intent Prime Warriors¡­ The fighting was extremely fierce, and in the end, they could only retreat,¡± Lin Yue sighed lightly. ¡°The brood nest was incredibly fortified, with numerous defensive forces erupting, and with these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, they easily held their ground.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A battle like that?¡± Li Yuan and Yan Jing were both surprised; they had not known of this news before.


    Luo Chan, however, was quite calm.


    Because she had personally taken part in that battle eight years ago.


    ...


    ¡°These two old foxes are very cunning. As leaders of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm, they are unwilling to fight to the death, and the demigods of the Cloud Beast Civilization have no way to force them,¡± Luo Chan said in a low voice. ¡°As long as we don¡¯t touch the brood nest, they probably won¡¯t show themselves.¡±


    ¡°They are very fearful of Lude Nef¡¯s ambushes.¡±


    ¡°In that battle, there were originally four Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts on the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s side, but Lude Nef managed to kill two of them.¡±


    ¡°So, as long as we are careful and do not approach the brood nest, it should be safer,¡± Luo Chan said. ¡°Even if we do encounter them, the three of us together stand a good chance of getting away safely.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed, and after a detailed discussion.


    Li Yuan and Yan Jing were now extremely familiar with the entire Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Luo Chan had long been aware of this information. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had very high authority and knew many secrets¡­ yet he dared not be careless and listened attentively.


    Each Star Realm is mysterious and unpredictable, especially when facing a powerful civilization of the other side, one must be even more cautious.


    ¡°The map indicates 28 advance bases and nine inquiry points, it¡¯s up to you now,¡± Lin Yue looked at the three True Intent Prime Warriors. ¡°We will continue to scout continuously¡­ and strive to send you the latest information.¡±


    ¡°Remember, do not stray beyond 5000 kilometers from the Star Realm entrance. Once you exceed this range, the signal will be interrupted,¡± Lin Yue said. ¡°Is that clear?¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    Ten minutes later.


    The three of them, ready for action, had boarded a large transport flyer with Dean Hai and Lin Yue, arriving at one side of the vast Star Realm passage.


    In the sky, there seemed to be a curtain, rippling with waves.


    ¡°Remember.¡±


    ¡°Although the Cloud Beast Civilization isn¡¯t highly advanced in technology, they also have corresponding means of communication,¡± Lin Yue said softly. ¡°Therefore, once you take action, they will definitely receive the message, and then order other advance bases to retreat.¡±


    ¡°So, at the start of the operation, spread out and attack separately. After clearing two advance bases each, regroup and start clearing together.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Starting out with separate attacks was to catch the enemy by surprise.


    Once the Cloud Beast Civilization reacted, they were likely to set up a killing formation, so it was necessary for the three to join forces. This way, even though the gains may be smaller, the danger would be much less.


    Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan, aboard a small flyer, swiftly passed through the curtain of light and ripples in the sky, entering the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Not relying on their flight, was to avoid revealing their whereabouts as much as possible, to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.


    Dean Hai and Lin Yue watched them disappear from view.


    ¡°Dean Hai, is Li Yuan¡¯s strength really as strong as you say?¡± Lin Yue asked softly.


    ¡°You doubt me?¡± Dean Hai glared.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe, but it¡¯s hard to believe that he has so quickly condensed True Intent, and to say his strength is nearing Lude Nef¡¯s?¡± Lin Yue shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s indeed surprising.¡±


    ¡°I was also surprised when I first confirmed his strength,¡± Dean Hai said with a sigh.


    ¡°What a pity that Lude Nef is in seclusion. Otherwise, if he joined us, this war would be much easier.¡±


    The news of Lude Nef¡¯s breakthrough was still under wraps.


    Even Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, for the most part, were unaware of this.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll wait for news from Li Yuan and the others.¡± Dean Hai turned and flew towards the distant command ship.

    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan boarded single-person flyers and entered the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Shortly after, the three flyers separated by dozens of kilometers, each heading toward adjacent targets.


    The vast land stretched before them; a blood moon hung high, and ranges of majestic mountains extended deep into the land, rocky and barren with sparse vegetation, carrying an awe-inspiring, rugged beauty.


    However, the wreckage visible to the naked eye scattered amongst the mountains, and the remnants of technological weapons¡­ were sufficient to understand the cruelty and bloodiness of this Star Realm.


    Inside one of the flyers.


    ...


    Luo Chan sat quietly, waiting for the auto-piloted flyer to reach the preset destination.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Luo Chan.¡± A deep voice sounded within the flyer.


    ¡°Senior Lin?¡± Luo Chan immediately opened her eyes.


    ¡°I have something to tell you about your comrade Li Yuan¡¯s strength, which I couldn¡¯t fully disclose in the briefing room just now due to the presence of other Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice was low: ¡°His strength is now on par with Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Luo Chan was shocked.


    In the briefing room earlier, she was surprised to hear Lin Yue say that Li Yuan was stronger than her.


    And now, Lin Yue was implying that Li Yuan¡¯s strength was comparable to Yu Jinghe?


    To understand, remember that in the past year¡¯s numerous battles on Ming Mountain, Yu Jinghe had proven through action that his power was not weaker than Lude Nef¡¯s.


    Li Yuan? Has he grown so quickly?


    ¡°Is the information reliable?¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Absolutely accurate.¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice remained low: ¡°What his specific combat skills are, I can¡¯t tell you for now¡­ but if you find yourself in danger, trust him as you would Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Luo Chan nodded.


    She could understand if Lin Yue was telling the truth, then Li Yuan¡¯s rate of growth was terrifying, and he would definitely be a thorn in the side of Alien Civilizations.


    If it wasn¡¯t for Li Yuan joining the fight this time, becoming comrades-in-arms,


    Then, with her status and power, she wouldn¡¯t even be qualified to know this information.


    ¡°Be careful during life-or-death battles, killing enemies is secondary, preserving yourself is the priority.¡± Lin Yue added before cutting off the communication.


    Luo Chan sat within the flyer, her heart unable to settle for a long while.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, inside another flyer, Li Yuan observed the scene outside.


    He had only seen the Rob Sea Star Realm in documentaries before, but now he was personally inside.


    ¡°According to the intelligence.¡±


    ¡°Within a radius of three thousand kilometers from the Star Realm¡¯s entrance, is our domain.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°The nearest of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s three Nest-Beast Dens is about nine thousand kilometers from the entrance.¡±


    ¡°Their twenty-eight forward outposts are all within five thousand kilometers of the Star Realm¡¯s entrance.¡±


    ¡°My first target is about four thousand kilometers from the entrance.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the information displayed on the smart cruise: ¡°In about four hours, I should be able to reach the edge of our domain.¡±


    Whoosh! The flyer skimmed the mountain gorges at ultra-low altitude, though even if discovered by a Stealth Exotic Beast infiltrated within our domain from the Cloud Beast Civilization, it was highly unlikely to be identified as a Flying Heaven level¡­ but caution never hurt.

    Four hours later.


    Outside the Star Realm, at the central command.


    ¡°All three of them have left the flyers and begun the final stage of Stealth.¡± Lin Yue suddenly spoke in a soft voice.


    ¡°Hopefully, they all come back safely.¡± Dean Hai spoke gravely beside him.


    The eyes of the other military Flying Heaven Warriors were filled with anticipation.


    ¡­


    On the blood-engulfed mountain ranges, fierce winds howled.


    Li Yuan landed lightly on the ground and instinctively looked up at the flyer ascending into the distance.


    The flyer only provided transport for 3000 kilometers; the last 1000 kilometers to the target had to be covered by Li Yuan and the others on their own.


    ¡°This place is desolate.¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly.


    According to intelligence, the Nest-Beast Dens of the Cloud Beast Civilization siphon the power of the earth for nourishment¡­ wherever they go, the once-thriving land full of life would turn to desolation.


    ¡°This battle, I¡¯m the main force, I have to really rely on myself now.¡± Li Yuan muttered in his heart.


    This was his third venture into a Star Realm.


    The first time in the Mingxu Star Realm, all he did was Inquiry, while Senior Liu Jing was the main force, he wasn¡¯t even qualified to participate in the final clash of two great civilizations.


    Second time, in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, he was just part of the World within Worlds battle¡­ The intense Star Realm war was carried by Lude Nef and the others.


    Now, it was his third time.


    ¡°After all this time, it¡¯s finally up to me to take on the responsibility.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed mysteriously: ¡°Rob Sea Star Realm is a tumour on Xia Country, I will do everything in my power¡­ to excise it.¡±


    Since childhood, Li Yuan had repeatedly heard stories of wars in the Rob Sea, with countless humans dying, even his uncle nearly perishing here, and much of Xia Country¡¯s national strength had been depleted here.


    Not just resources but also millions of lives.


    After reading through many intelligence reports on the Rob Sea, Li Yuan was determined to thoroughly cleanse the entire Rob Sea.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, Lude Nef and the others couldn¡¯t breach the Nest-Beast Dens, but my strength can now rival theirs, and I will get even stronger¡­ I have a complete chance of achieving this,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Perhaps, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization had no expectations for Li Yuan, but he had expectations for himself.


    If capable, then one should do their utmost.


    You can¡¯t always depend on the next generation for everything.


    ¡°This time, I¡¯ll start by collecting some interest.¡± Li Yuan moved, his body¡¯s light subtly distorting to cloak his form, and like a gust of wind, he flew towards his target.


    In such a state, unless sensed by the Divine Sense of another strong being, if one is just a bit further away, it would be nearly impossible to detect Li Yuan¡¯s presence.

    Time passed, and Li Yuan was under the illumination of the blood moon.


    He crossed desolate mountain ranges, gorges, and rivers, moving forward non-stop.


    ¡°So many exotic beasts.¡± Along the way, Li Yuan observed many exotic beasts, none of which could detect his passing.


    Li Yuan¡¯s range of Divine Sense inquiry was limited.


    But he had condensed the True Meaning of Earth, and through the fluctuations of the earth, his perception ability was astonishing; even separated by tens of kilometers, he could sense certain life fluctuations.


    Two hours later.


    ...


    ¡°It¡¯s here,¡± Li Yuan stood on the mountaintop, his breath as if concealed, gazing at a distant mountain a few kilometers away.


    He did not continue to approach.


    At first glance, this mountain did not seem remarkable compared to the neighboring peaks.


    But it was one of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s forward outposts mentioned in the intelligence, a result of continuous in-depth inquiry by numerous First and Second Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization.


    At the same time, as Li Yuan truly neared the mountain, he could sense through the earth¡¯s vibrations the extensive life fluctuations within, clearly inhabited by many powerful exotic beasts.


    ¡°I am ready and can act at any moment,¡± Li Yuan sent a message to Yan Jing and Luo Chan.


    Li Yuan waited patiently.


    More than ten minutes later, Luo Chan sent a message: ¡°I am ready as well.¡±


    Another five minutes passed before Yan Jing finally sent a message: ¡°I am in position.¡±


    All had arrived.


    ¡°Attack simultaneously after thirty seconds. Eliminate all Second Rank exotic beasts, then immediately head to the next target,¡± Commander Lin Yue issued the order.


    ¡­


    Thirty seconds later.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan burst out like a gust of wind, blending completely with the surroundings, almost skimming the ground as he went¡­ in an instant, his speed shot up to sonic levels, reaching the base of the huge mountain and a seemingly inconspicuous cave in just ten seconds.


    This cave, concealed by layers, would be entirely missed from a distance¡­ but not by Li Yuan¡¯s earth vibration senses.


    ¡°Two.¡± With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Yuan detected two Second Rank exotic beasts lurking at the entrance of the cave.


    They had not noticed Li Yuan yet.


    ¡°Kill!¡± A glint of killing intent flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he directly triggered two mysteries.


    Scch~


    Scchwt! Two streams of earthy yellow energy, sharp as spikes, penetrated the ground like needles strengthened countless times over and burst through the skulls of the two Second Rank exotic beasts.


    Instantly, the eyes of the two exotic beasts bulged roundly, their heads began to bleed profusely, and they lost consciousness. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Dead!


    As a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    The combination of two mysteries made it easy to kill level 22 Second Rank exotic beasts within his domain.


    This was the terrifying aspect of superb martial skills.


    Just like the might of a law, once fully unleashed, it could easily kill ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ With the combined might of Li Yuan¡¯s two mysteries, he could also effortlessly sweep through large numbers of Second Rank from the Alien Race.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to delay once the action starts,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was cold.


    Boom! Inducing the True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan¡¯s speed fully erupted, unfolding completely as he transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light along the cave, rushing into the heart of the base.


    At the same time.


    Above and below, even within the mud and stones, nearly every inch within a fifty-meter radius centered on Li Yuan spontaneously generated fine streams of earthy yellow energy, as if a gargantuan sphere had been born out of thin air.


    This was the True Intent Domain, formed by the core of the True Meaning of Earth, infused with the Mystery of Wind.


    ¡­


    The forward outpost of the Cloud Beast Civilization naturally had many defensive measures in place.


    If an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior approached, there was a significant chance of being detected¡­ but Li Yuan¡¯s stealth techniques were extremely sophisticated.


    Although not as adept as Lude Nef, at least he was not something this outpost could detect in advance.


    Only when Li Yuan truly erupted, charging straight in, did the top-tier powerful exotic beasts of the outpost notice.


    Deep within the earth, there lay a vast chamber.


    The chamber was filled with numerous devices.


    Inside the chamber, several massive beasts with eyes flashing intelligence, shaped like serpents or akin to apes, resided.


    They had been leisurely before, but at that moment they felt continuous vibrations and the sounds of explosions from above, which completely changed their expressions.


    ¡°No good, an enemy has invaded.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Alert!¡±


    ¡°Quick, retreat.¡± These leaders of the outpost, some resembling flying serpents, others like primates,


    were the chiefs of the outpost.


    Not long ago, they were planning attacks on certain bases of the Seven Star Civilization, but now they were all panicked.


    Boom! The heavy chamber door thundered down, the giant stone door closing the upward passage.


    Click!


    On the other side of the chamber, what was a securely sealed wall suddenly opened like a door to both sides, revealing a dark passage¡ªindeed, an escape route.


    ¡°Move quickly.¡±


    ¡°Flee.¡± The five fully matured Second Rank exotic beasts had just thought to flee, but they hadn¡¯t even managed to move their bodies when fear flashed through their eyes.


    ¡°Boom!!!¡±


    Like the earth shattering, the thick layer of rock above them exploded violently, with countless rocks spraying and scattering wildly.


    Following that, streams of earthy yellow energy appeared out of thin air, sweeping toward all directions like blades, slicing the bodies of the Second Rank mature exotic beasts, trying to kill them on the spot.


    ¡°Scchwt~¡± Blood splattered everywhere, their indestructible fur being cut open.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a True Intent Domain.¡±


    ¡°How can this domain be so strong? It¡¯s far stronger than the domains of Master Wu Sihai and the others.¡±


    ¡°Hold on.¡± These mature Second Rank exotic beasts, which had their own language, roared at each other.


    Soon after, mighty Origin Power surfaced on their bodies, merging with flesh and bone, resisting the frenzied, slaughtering attacks of the True Intent Domain.

    ¡°Puchi~¡±


    ¡°Rumble~¡± These Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts, augmented with powerful Origin Power and even directly using Star Technique, actually managed to withstand Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain.


    Whoosh!


    Amidst strands of earth-yellow streams, the currents suddenly dispersed, and a figure completely shrouded in a black robe stepped out, their specific features utterly obscured.


    However, the terrifying aura they exuded made these few Second-Rank Exotic Beasts tremble in their hearts, realizing that this was the assailant.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes turned cold as the Black Chen Spear suddenly materialized in his hand, infused with Origin Power, and a flash of Spear Light suddenly thrust forth.


    Origin Power, Mysteries of True Intent, and the weapon¡¯s might combined perfectly.


    A terrifying Spear Light suddenly burst forth.


    The dazzling Spear Light slashed across the sky, striking at the few Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts with such horrific might that it pierced directly through their defenses formed by Origin Power and their tough flesh and blood, their heads instantly exploding.


    Die!


    In a single encounter, he completely crushed and killed them.


    ¡°So weak, clearly at level 29, but no Origin Power Battle Suit, and Star Techniques hardly cultivated, simply relying on a strong physique to bear the brunt.¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    A normal Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, at full defense, would take at least two strikes from Li Yuan to be killed.


    But Li Yuan didn¡¯t know, from the myriad Exotic Beasts generated by the brood nest, those with true potential had already been sent away, leaving only the flawed ones¡­ Nevertheless, under normal circumstances, these few Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts wouldn¡¯t directly engage in combat but serve as commanders.


    ¡°Next one.¡±


    Li Yuan soared to the sky, quickly ascending from the underground chamber, swiftly passing through one cavern layer after another¡­ Each cavern layer was strewn with numerous Exotic Beast corpses, blood flowing like rivers.


    Each cavern had a huge hole that had just been forcibly breached by Li Yuan.


    He had carved a path of slaughter all the way through.


    Li Yuan took approximately 12 seconds, continuously breaking through 6 layers of caverns, and swept through all the Exotic Beasts detected by his Divine Sense at this Cloud Beast Civilization outpost.


    ¡°Target number 1 completed, 834 Second-Rank killed.¡± Li Yuan sent the message to the command center.


    Boom!


    The mountain body outside, which appeared calm, suddenly erupted with a terrifying explosion sound, boulders tumbling, trees collapsing, and a huge cavern appeared at the top of the mountain, from which a stream of earth-yellow light burst forth into the sky.


    The initial assault was a surprise attack, so movement had to be concealed.


    But once action was taken, it had to be fast! The faster, the better!


    ¡°Next target, about 200 kilometers away, strive to arrive within three minutes,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold as ice, ¡°Kill!¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan turned into a ray of light, merging fully with the heavens and earth, streaking across the dim world at a speed that had now soared to approximately four times the speed of sound.


    ¡­


    Outside the Star Realm, in the command center.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and others were all waiting quietly; they knew that the first round of assassination by the three Prime Warriors with True Intent had begun.


    Whether they could dismantle this round of attack by the Cloud Beast Civilization almost entirely depended on this endeavor.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Good!¡± Lin Yue suddenly let out a low shout, with a glint of joy in his eyes, ¡°Success in one location, Li Yuan has completed the first target, killing 834 Second-Rank with none escaping, he¡¯s now proceeding towards target number 4.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Impressive.¡± Everyone was somewhat excited, having at least accomplished part of the objective.


    ¡°What about targets number 2 and 3?¡± Dean Hai asked in quick succession.


    ¡°No news yet.¡± Lin Yue shook his head.


    Another nearly twenty seconds passed.


    ¡°Luo Chan has sent a message, target number 2 is completed, some Second-Rank Exotic Beasts escaped, but the kill count exceeded 600,¡± Lin Yue said in a low voice, ¡°Yan Jing has also sent a message, killing over 500 Second-Rank Exotic Beasts, but the task was not fully completed.¡±


    The conference room fell silent.


    At first, when they received the news, they didn¡¯t realize¡­ but after comparison, they felt the impressive strength of Li Yuan.


    ¡°This is fortunate.¡±


    ¡°Having a genius like Li Yuan is a blessing for Xia Country, as well as for the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Lin Yue said softly.


    ¡­


    The first round of assassination results by Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan was indeed staggering.


    But with such a large-scale attack.


    Cloud Beast Civilization, though slow to react, would quickly respond, especially since the Cloud Beast Civilization had long been prepared.


    About two thousand kilometers away from the base attacked by Li Yuan.


    In the intermountain range where two mountain ridges spanned a vast canyon, at this moment, it was engulfed in countless black mists.


    If one could see through the mist, they would notice between the canyons, countless black organic structures were rapidly expanding and growing¡­ If Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and others were here, they would recognize that this was a brood nest of the Cloud Beast Civilization growing rapidly.


    Inside a mountainside beside the canyon, it had long been completely hollowed out.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°An outpost has been attacked?¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s counterattack has finally arrived?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, they¡¯ve taken the initiative. They want to dismantle our momentum in advance.¡± Inside the mountain, five tremendously powerful existences gathered here.


    They watched the three light screen projections formed in the middle, seeing the battle scenes clearly.


    The projections from a few outposts had been automatically sent back before being destroyed.


    In one projection, a blurry black figure flashed by, followed by a terrifying flurry of Spear Light, swiftly sweeping away everything in its path.


    The other two scenes of battle were much more intense, allowing them to watch more closely.


    ¡°Such impressive Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°A True Intent Domain, its might is so powerful? It¡¯s probably close to Intermediate Rank True Intent,¡± the five Cloud Beast Civilization powerhouses immediately judged. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The mysterious powerhouse who had mastered the True Meaning of Earth was the most formidable.


    ¡°One of them is Luo Chan, an old adversary.¡± Wu Sihai¡¯s eyes were cold, his voice carrying a chilling intent to kill.


    Wu Sihai had clashed with Luo Chan twice and recognized the opponent.

    ¡°The fish has taken the bait.¡±


    ¡°So arrogant, these three must all be True Intent Prime Warriors¡­ However, that True Meaning of Earth master might be a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°His Domain hasn¡¯t reached the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank, otherwise he could have killed those several Second Rank Perfections directly with the power of his Domain.¡±


    ¡°Even if he is a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength is only comparable to Wu Sihai and Zippa, and he must have broken through recently, so his strength is probably weaker.¡± The five powerful figures communicated with each other.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior, even with a high Skill Realm, would still need a lot of time to refine Origin Pills.


    ¡°Jin Mu, Yan Xuan.¡±


    ...


    The blood-colored Flying Serpent turned to the two newly arrived powerhouses: ¡°Over the years, Elden, Zippa, and I have been wary of Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe, enduring in silence, not daring to make a move.¡±


    ¡°But the Seven Star Civilization probably doesn¡¯t know their secret has leaked¡­ They likely can¡¯t imagine that we¡¯d dare to take action.¡±


    ¡°This time, the high echelons of our civilization have even dispatched you two, significantly augmenting our top battle power.¡±


    ¡°This time, we will deliver a surprise to the Seven Star Civilization and strive to kill all their Flying Heaven level combatants.¡± Wu Sihai spoke in a deep voice.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    ¡°The Demigod has sent us here to cooperate with you in an effort to take the Rob Sea in one fell swoop.¡± The Exotic Beast known as ¡®Jin Mu¡¯ spoke in a deep voice.


    His body wasn¡¯t too massive, pitch black in color, with eight legs, looking like a giant murderous spider.


    ¡°Jin Mu excels at binding, and I at poison fog.¡± The black Flying Serpent named Yan Xuan spoke in a deep voice, its scales shimmering with a beautiful luster that made the other Exotic Beasts reluctant to come too close.


    Poison is something to be greatly feared.


    Jin Mu and Yan Xuan were supreme talents dispatched by the Cloud Beast Civilization, having already condensed their True Intent¡­ Together with their innate physical gifts, they could unleash astonishing strength.


    ¡°We must act without delay.¡±


    ¡°Elden, you stay here to protect the nest burrows.¡±


    ¡°The targets of these humans are definitely those outpost stations.¡± Wu Sihai said in a deep voice, ¡°We will slaughter our way over now.¡±


    ¡°I will have the large army in those outpost stations slowly pull back, neither alerting the human warriors¡­ nor preventing them from continuing their attacks.¡±


    ¡°Slaughter our way over.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Soon, four massive Exotic Beasts left the belly of the mountain, transforming into four streaks of light as they departed from this nest burrow, headed in the direction of Li Yuan.


    With their flight speed, even if they deliberately slowed down to reduce the disturbance in heaven and earth,


    2,000 kilometers could also be covered in less than an hour.


    ¡­


    An hour later.


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡± Intense sounds of explosions suddenly erupted from what seemed like an ordinary mountain amidst the continuous mountain range, as if a major explosion was occurring.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Accompanied by dazzling earthen-yellow light breaking through, a huge mountain body collapsed halfway, as numerous rocks and soil crumbled and fell.


    That gradually exposed the inside of the mountain¡­ A large number of Exotic Beast corpses tumbled down.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Three streaks of light broke through the layers of dirt, soaring into the sky hundreds of meters high, revealing themselves to be Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.


    ¡°So powerful.¡±


    ¡°Such terrifying Spear Technique.¡± Luo Chan was thoroughly convinced by Li Yuan, her eyes filled only with admiration.


    That spear thrust just now.


    At the bottom of the cave, it swept across dozens of Second Rank Exotic Beasts in a wide range, utterly quelling any thought of escape in those beasts.


    She had no more doubts about Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Target number 11, completed.¡±


    Yan Jing¡¯s face showed a hint of excitement, ¡°We have slain more than five thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts.¡±


    The three of them, after individually taking down two Cloud Beast Civilization outpost bases, had, as planned, converged in one place and continued their slaughter.


    Not a single Cloud Beast Civilization base could withstand their onslaught.


    ¡°I always feel something is strange, that the Cloud Beast Civilization seems to be retreating, but somehow it¡¯s slow.¡± Luo Chan said gravely, ¡°Their response is too slow.¡±


    ¡°It does seem a bit slow.¡± Li Yuan furrowed his brow.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°I understand now, it¡¯s not that their response is slow.¡± Li Yuan suddenly turned his head, his gaze calm as he looked into the distant void, ¡°They¡¯re using these Second Rank Exotic Beasts as bait, deliberately luring us.¡±


    ¡°The real enemies are coming.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s hand already clenched the Black Chen Spear with a swish.


    Quickly.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Realm?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan also quickly sensed that in the void more than ten kilometers away, four powerful presences were rapidly closing in. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s Wu Sihai.¡± Luo Chan even recognized a familiar aura.

    Chapter 464: Chapter 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)


    With the vision and perception ability of a Prime Warrior proficient in True Intent, a distance of over ten kilometers was already incredibly clear.


    Moreover, the four powerhouses of the Cloud Beast Civilization were blatantly charging over without any attempt to hide their approach.


    ¡°Four Flying Heavens?¡± Yan Jing¡¯s face changed drastically, ¡°Weren¡¯t there supposed to be only two Flying Heaven leaders from the Cloud Beast Civilization?¡±


    Luo Chan remained silent, but her facial expression said it all.


    ¡°Two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were also grave, and his voice echoed in both of their minds, ¡°Those two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts must be Wu Sihai and Zi Pa as mentioned by senior Lin before.¡±


    ¡°And those two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts are likely reinforcements from the Cloud Beast Civilization.¡±


    ...


    Separated by more than ten kilometers, Li Yuan was unable to deploy the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    But with the congealed True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan¡¯s perception was astonishing, and he could vaguely distinguish the differences between those four powerful figures¡­ There was an essential difference between flying with the True Intent of the heavens and earth and flying by propelling Origin Power.


    ¡°The unparalleled geniuses of the Cloud Beast Civilization?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan¡¯s complexions changed again, they were not fools, immediately thinking of many possibilities.


    Why after nearly a decade of major battles, had Wu Sihai and Zi Pa never shown themselves in battle, yet suddenly made a move this time?


    Why hadn¡¯t the Cloud Beast Civilization provided reinforcements before, and yet they had sent two powerhouses ahead of time this time?


    Why¡­


    The multitude of coincidences could only explain one thing¡ªthis was no coincidence, it was a premeditated attack set up by the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    It seemed slow, but in reality, it took less than two seconds for Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan to exchange thoughts.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    The three transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the area controlled by the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even for someone as confident in their own strength as Li Yuan, he would never rashly charge forward.


    Observations were due at the very least.


    At the very least, they could not let an engagement unfold within the battlefield area prearranged by the opponent.


    After all, knowing full well that the enemy had three Prime Warriors who had already demonstrated formidable power¡­ the Cloud Beast Civilization still dared to attack, they must have some level of confidence.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four strong figures from the Cloud Beast Civilization tore through the Vast Sky, hurtling towards their target.


    ¡°They¡¯ve discovered us, they¡¯re starting to flee.¡± The large purple ape¡¯s eyes flickered with a chilly light.


    ¡°Escape?¡± Wu Sihai spoke coldly, ¡°Yan Xuan, Zi Pa, follow me. Let¡¯s move in for the kill first.¡±


    ¡°Jin Mu, you¡¯re the slowest, so come afterward.¡± The blood-red Flying Serpent, Wu Sihai said.


    ¡°All right.¡± Jin Mu nodded in agreement.


    The four mighty beings of the Cloud Beast Civilization, Wu Sihai and Zi Pa were mid-stage Flying Heaven powerhouses¡­ When burst at full speed, their velocity was incredibly ferocious.


    As for Yan Xuan? Being from the Flying Serpent Clan, naturally adept at flight, and having comprehended the True Meaning of Wind, it further enhanced its prowess, making its flying speed faster than the average practitioner in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The speed of Wu Sihai, Zi Pa, and Yan Xuan skyrocketed in that instant, rapidly approaching five times the speed of sound.


    Drawing ever closer to Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.


    Every second, the distance between them shrank by several hundred meters¡­ in at most a minute, they would be completely overtaken.


    ¡­


    Outside the Star Realm, inside a giant conference room serving as the command center.


    ¡°We¡¯ve already killed over five thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts, the results are astonishing.¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior said with a jovial smile, ¡°At this rate, they could end up killing over ten thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts.¡±


    ¡°Indeed frightening.¡±


    ¡°Thousands of Second Rank Exotic Beasts, if we let an ordinary troop handle it, who knows how many would die or get injured.¡± Several Flying Heaven Warriors in the conference room sighed with deep emotion.


    Dean Hai looked relaxed as well.


    Only Lin Yue¡¯s expression was solemn; as time had passed, Li Yuan, Luo Chan, and their unimpeded sweeping and killing seemed too smooth to be true.


    His years of experience combating various Alien Races gave him a subconscious feeling that something was amiss.


    But he couldn¡¯t put his finger on exactly what it was.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Not good.¡± Lin Yue¡¯s expression changed slightly, ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s counterattack has arrived.¡±


    Whoosh~


    A huge projection screen appeared, immediately displaying scenes from within the Star Realm¡­ The image was shaking wildly, appearing very chaotic, as if being recorded on the move.


    But in reality, this was Luo Chan activating the ¡®real-time shoot¡¯ feature on her smart ring, which was somewhat akin to ¡®live broadcasting.¡¯ sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even though the image was constantly shaking.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and the others still saw clearly.


    Four massive Exotic Beasts were chasing with terrifying velocity.


    ¡°Two Flying Heaven Level, two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts, this is Li Yuan¡¯s assessment.¡± Lin Yue¡¯s expression turned very serious, and he said gravely, ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization had planned this in advance.¡±


    In the conference room, everyone¡¯s smiles faded as they realized the seriousness of the situation.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization, having never erupted for so many years, was making a fierce move all at once.


    ¡°Li Yuan and the others are fleeing.¡± Lin Yue said gravely.


    ¡°But they are only Prime Warriors, and Luo Chan is not adept at flying.¡± Dean Hai spoke gravely, ¡°Over thousands of kilometers¡­ they definitely can¡¯t escape easily.¡±


    Escape?


    They could only escape while fighting.


    ¡°What about the contingency plan?¡± Lin Yue turned to look at another Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°The drone swarm has been launched, but it will take a while to arrive.¡±


    ¡°The Flying Heaven War Machines have set off with nuclear weapons.¡± The Flying Heaven Warrior said with a bitter smile, ¡°The war machines are also equipped with Origin Power Weapons, powerful enough to easily kill Second Rank lives.¡±


    ¡°But you¡¯re all aware¡­ at the Flying Heaven Warrior level, it¡¯s nearly impossible for technological weapons to cause fatalities, they can at best provide interference.¡±


    Everyone fell silent.


    Flying Heaven Warriors, especially those who have comprehended True Intent, have incredibly resilient vitality, and their speed at escaping in critical moments is astonishing¡­ Even for nuclear weapons, as long as they are not foolish, nearly none pose a threat to them.

 Chapter 465 - 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_2

    Chapter 465: Chapter 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_2


    For example, they could instantly burrow into the ground.


    In a second, they could burrow hundreds of meters deep.


    How to bomb them?


    As for other conventional technological weapons? Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors of True Intent could instantly form a Domain of True Intent with a thought, harnessing the power of heaven and earth, rendering most technological weapons completely ineffective.


    The so-called saturation firepower strike would be a joke.


    Suddenly.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan stepped forward to meet the challenge,¡± one of the Flying Heaven Warriors exclaimed, pointing at the projection screen.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Not good,¡± Lin Yue and Dean Hai hurriedly looked over, their faces changing slightly.


    In the flickering projection, the three powerhouses from the Cloud Beast Civilization were closing in rapidly, probably leaving only two kilometers between them¡­ and Li Yuan who had just been fleeing with them.


    His figure suddenly staggered, and his speed sharply decreased.


    He didn¡¯t turn around.


    But the decrease in his flying speed was, in effect, akin to turning around to face the battle.


    At this moment, through the projections, observers like Lin Yue and Dean Hai felt their hearts rise to their throats.


    They knew of Li Yuan¡¯s strength, suspected to be comparable to that of Yu Jinghe, but the power of the Cloud Beast Civilization was also extremely terrifying.


    That was at least the combat power of two mid-phase Flying Heaven warriors.


    ¡­


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm, under the blood moon, atop the vast and endless mountains.


    ¡°Li Yuan, no matter how strong you are, it¡¯s impossible for you to take on three by yourself,¡± Luo Chan¡¯s face changed dramatically.


    ¡°Li Yuan, if we are to fight, let¡¯s fight together,¡± Yan Jing said in an instant panic.


    Seeing Li Yuan stop abruptly, their flying speeds also slowed down accordingly.


    But the very next moment.


    ¡°Run! Both of you run,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice cold, ¡°These aliens pose no threat to me, but I¡¯m only sure I can hold them off, not that I can protect you both.¡±


    ¡°As your team leader, I order you to flee immediately. I won¡¯t joke with my life,¡± he commanded.


    The telepathic communication was just a momentary flash.


    Yan Jing, and Luo Chan were both momentarily stunned; they were decisive individuals and immediately made their choice, speeding up again to continue flying into the distance.


    Because both Yan Jing and Luo Chan had immense faith in Li Yuan¡¯s abilities.


    It seemed slow to say.


    From the moment Li Yuan and Yan Jing spotted the forces from the Cloud Beast Civilization, to their flight from the scene, and to Li Yuan¡¯s decision to face the enemy alone¡­ the entire process lasted less than a minute.


    ¡°This human fool! He dares to stay behind and block us alone,¡± one of them said.


    ¡°He¡¯s not a Flying Heaven Warrior, just a Prime Warrior with True Intent,¡± the three alien beast powerhouses were first shocked, then immediately showed bloodthirsty and fierce expressions.


    A single person?


    In previous inquiries, their main focus was on this strong warrior with the True Meaning of Earth.


    But after the initial encounter, upon closer sensing, they found that this strong warrior of Earth¡¯s True Intent was not a Flying Heaven Warrior, and they completely let down their guard.


    Not being a Flying Heaven Warrior, with only Initial Rank. Sixth Stage True Intent Comprehension¡­ naturally, he was not considered a major threat to them.


    After all, creatures like the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and the Purple-Haired Gorilla Zippa were True Intent Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°If the three of them joined forces to defend, it would take us quite some effort to win, but this fool dares to stand alone; quickly eliminate him, then go and kill the other two,¡± Wu Sihai communicated telepathically.


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Zippa and Yan Xuan both responded in agreement.


    To this point, they had yet to realize their opponent was Li Yuan.


    After all, from beginning to end, Li Yuan was completely cloaked by his battle garment, with his face not visible.


    Wu Sihai, Zippa, and others who spent years in the Rob Sea Star Realm, often received information slowly.


    Although they had heard the name of Li Yuan, they subconsciously thought that this unparalleled genius mentioned in intelligence reports would need at least a decade to grow.


    Therefore, it never crossed their minds that the person in front of them could be Li Yuan.


    The two sides approached like lightning.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan holding a long spear, suddenly grew to a height of three meters, like a small giant, his life force surging dramatically.


    Facing the three powerhouses, Li Yuan naturally didn¡¯t dare hold back and unleashed ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± without hesitation.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong life force.¡±


    ¡°So what if it is a Body Refining Star Technique? He still has to die!¡± the three alien beasts roared, swiftly converging from different directions to attack.


    Boom!


    Around Wu Sihai¡¯s massive serpent body, cold air diffused instantaneously, mixed with a flow of water, spreading across hundreds of meters, as if to freeze everything.


    Boom! The cold air invasion swept over everything, causing the Domain of Earth formed by Li Yuan to begin collapsing immediately.


    And his body began to subtly suffer the effects of the invasion as well.


    ¡°Domain Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan instantly made a judgment, the opponent was at the 32nd level of Flying Heaven, with powerful and robust Origin Power, also using a Domain Star Technique¡­ even if his realm was higher, his Domain of True Intent was no match.


    If not a match, then abandon control of the Domain.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The purple-haired gorilla was already towering, nearly five meters tall, and directly used a Body Refining Star Technique, his massive body thunderously growing to ten meters in height.


    He wielded a weapon resembling a mace, with an overwhelming presence.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The mace, over six meters in length and faintly enveloped in a golden aura, smashed fiercely towards Li Yuan, causing the air to violently quake.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The black serpent, only ten meters long and appearing quite slender, had wings that gleamed with a silver light, like two immense combat sabers, swooping down towards Li Yuan.


    Where the Wing Blades passed, the very space seemed like it would be cleaved apart.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan gripped his long spear and burst forth, infusing it with Origin Power combining the Mysteries of Earth and Wind, enhancing his Black Chen Spear, a Semi Divine Artifact. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At the same time, Li Yuan had activated the Supreme Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± and vaguely, the spear seemed to trigger even stronger fluctuations of heaven and earth, making this thrust terrifyingly potent.

 Chapter 466 - 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_3

    Chapter 466: Chapter 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_3


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Be careful.¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan hadn¡¯t fled far, still within two kilometers. As they ran, they kept looking back at the battle between Li Yuan and the three mighty exotic beasts.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A spear light, endlessly sharp and containing an incomparable terrifying might!


    Tearing through the vast sky!


    ¡°Boom~¡± The layers of chill enveloping Li Yuan had completely dissipated.


    ...


    The huge wing blade of the black Flying Serpent, Yan Xuan, had just collided with the spear when his expression drastically changed, and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.


    But it was already too late.


    Rip~ The spear pierced directly through Yan Xuan¡¯s extremely tough wings, and the terrifying might instantly tore downwards from the wound.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Yan Xuan let out a painful scream, closely followed by his wings being torn apart significantly.


    A succession of blood scattered across the sky.


    With just one spear strike, the black Flying Serpent, Yan Xuan, was gravely injured, his body flipping over as he plummeted downward.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    As Li Yuan thrust his spear, the long spear suddenly revolved, spinning with alarming might, striking fiercely like a catapult against the descending ferocious mace with wolf teeth.


    ¡°Bang!!!¡±


    An immensely terrifying collision, as if two fallen stars had struck each other, creating a gust of shockwave visible to the naked eye that impacted an area tens of kilometers around.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The mountains below immediately started to collapse, falling apart, with countless boulders flying through the air.


    Boom!


    The massive purple-haired ape was flung backwards with great force.


    Li Yuan himself was also falling downward, plummeting for a hundred meters before finally steadying himself.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique! And it¡¯s the condensation of the True Meaning of Metal, making the attacks wildly ferocious,¡± Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brows.


    From the frontal collision just now, Li Yuan realized he was slightly at a disadvantage.


    In techniques, weaponry, and many other aspects, he held an absolute advantage.


    In terms of Star Techniques, they were evenly matched.


    But the opponent was Level 32!! Far stronger than him at the base level, and the True Intent he comprehended was adept at attacking, naturally giving him an edge in head-on combat.


    Yet, it was just a slight advantage.


    The most critical point.


    ¡°Every frontal collision, the terrifying impact would cause great damage to my body,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, ¡°If I were to keep clashing head-on with him, I would certainly be defeated.¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s no need for me to fight head-on.¡±


    The purpose of Li Yuan¡¯s spear thrust in the previous frontal collision was merely to test the strongest burst of his Spear Technique and see how powerful his attack could be.


    Now that he knew the outcome, it was time to end the fight in a way he was best at.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan moved, a faint cyan airflow emerged around his body, pouncing like lightning toward the black Flying Serpent, which had been heavily injured and was trying to flee in panic.


    It is better to break one finger than to injure ten.


    In some sense, killing such a second-rank exotic beast with True Intent is more valuable than an ordinary Flying Heaven exotic beast.


    ¡°Not good.¡± The black Flying Serpent fleeing in panic revealed a hint of fear in its eyes.


    Having suffered a spear attack, it was very clear of how terrifying the strength of this human martial artist was.


    ¡°Stop!!¡±


    The other blood-red Flying Serpent, Wu Sihai, roared furiously, its wings trembling violently as its huge body suddenly leaped forward, followed by opening its bloody mouth wide and spewing out a terrifying stream of icy light.


    Like a river of cold air, it struck directly at Li Yuan, with the air along the path seeming to freeze and bind layer by layer, frightfully extreme.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Sss~¡± An invisible spiritual attack, accompanying the cold air, instantaneously penetrated Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Die!¡± Wu Sihai¡¯s eyes emitted madness, eager to see Li Yuan frozen to death alive.


    This was another attack Star Technique he cultivated¡ªRiver of Cold Air!


    The cold air contained an amazing power of erosion, even a top grade Prime Warrior touching a trace would be seriously injured.


    And his spiritual power was quite strong, which was why he specifically cultivated a Spiritual Secret Technique, hoping to slightly influence that final moment, and then the river of ice reaching and striking would be able to severely injure his opponent.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    Li Yuan, who was attacked by the spiritual assault, showed only a hint of mocking on his face.


    Spiritual attack? A mid-stage Flying Heaven exotic beast, only a demigod using a spiritual attack against me would be more fitting.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Facing the roaring river of ice coming toward him, Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, instantly splitting into three, each spreading out hundreds of meters, effortlessly avoiding this terrifying killing move.


    ¡°Not affected at all? How strong must his spiritual power be?¡± Wu Sihai was shocked, ¡°And he can even create so many Phantom Bodies? How did he do that?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t his cultivation based on the True Meaning of Earth? Could he be a warrior of dual True Intent?¡± S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Damned hidden human pawn, so powerful a human genius, and yet you didn¡¯t inform us.¡± Wu Sihai was both anxious and furious, utterly unable to comprehend.


    Since when did the Seven Star Civilization produce such a terrifying Prime Warrior?


    There had been no news before this!


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan, unleashing his full strength, the three figures simultaneously flickered and moved, like three beams of light whistling to attack the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    Swish! His wings rotating, Wu Sihai roared, his body releasing terrifying cold as he lunged in close combat to attack one of the figures, trying to block Li Yuan.


    ¡°Ha!¡±


    Luo Chan also bellowed angrily, his huge Wing Blade sweeping through the heavens and earth, fiercely smashing towards one of the Li Yuans.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    ¡°Puchi~¡± Those two figures of Li Yuan, like illusory bubbles, instantly vanished and dissipated.


    ¡°False?¡±


    ¡°Dammit!¡± Wu Sihai and Luo Chan were both shocked and furious, immediately roaring as they attacked Li Yuan.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan¡¯s real body, however, had already bypassed the obstacle of the two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts like lightning, finally approaching the fleeing black serpent Yan Xuan, who was somewhat panicked and flustered.

 Chapter 467 - 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_4

    Chapter 467: Chapter 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_4


    Yan Xuan was well aware that relying on his own strength to block Li Yuan was impossible; the only chance of survival was to delay until Wu Sihai and the others arrived.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    The long spear was like a flying serpent, just a shadow of the spear, yet it seemed to contain countless ever-changing techniques, striking unpredictably toward the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    ¡°I must survive! Survive!¡± The eyes of the black serpent Yan Xuan were fixed on that thrust.


    His wing injuries were rapidly healing; suddenly he burst forward, followed by the massive wings that swept across the vast sky, his large body passing like a gust of wind.


    ¡°Shush~¡± The wing blade grazed the spear shaft, not colliding head-on, but withdrawing immediately upon contact.


    ...


    He had avoided the spear.


    ¡°I evaded! If I can dodge one spear, then there¡¯s hope I can dodge a second,¡± Yan Xuan thought ecstatically, pressing himself to the limit, focusing intently on the long spear in Li Yuan¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Two more lightning-fast spears tore through the vast sky, and although one grazed the black serpent Yan Xuan, causing his vitality to surge chaotically,


    he ultimately evaded them once more.


    At this moment, desperate to live, the black serpent Yan Xuan was fully exploiting his own limits to display the utmost extent of his movement technique.


    This made Li Yuan momentarily unable to do anything to him.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he vaguely caught a glimpse of a mystery within the wildly tumbling form of the black serpent.


    The fluctuation of wind.


    The rhythm of wind.


    Having followed Lie Feng Semi Divine in training for an entire year, Li Yuan was already nearing the fifth stage¡¯s limit, just a step away from the initial formation of the True Meaning of Wind.


    But he had been unable to break through.


    Until this moment.


    From the body of the black serpent Yan Xuan, Li Yuan vaguely sensed something.


    It wasn¡¯t that Yan Xuan¡¯s realm was higher than that of Lie Feng Semi Divine, capable of giving better guidance to Li Yuan.


    But rather, it was a mysteriously indescribable opportunity that precisely at this moment resonated with Li Yuan, causing his past accumulations to start a further transformation.


    ¡°Pur-cht!¡±


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Continuous spears flew by, and Li Yuan still hadn¡¯t managed to hit the black serpent Yan Xuan¡­ Clearly, in the brink of life and death, Yan Xuan had also entered an extremely mysterious state.


    ¡°Human, die.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Blood serpent Wu Sihai and purple monkey Zi Pa had already arrived, unleashing their attacks on Li Yuan.


    The attacks were wild and fierce.


    ¡°They¡¯ve come?¡±


    Li Yuan sensed the incoming attack from behind, his thoughts shifted, and he once again used the Star Technique to instantly split into four phantom bodies.


    The rhythm of wind!


    The four phantom bodies weaved through the air, evading the attacks of the two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts, while lunging with the long spear in his hands, stabbing at the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    This thrust, swirling with the True Meaning of Earth, fierce and vast, encompassed by the Mysteries of Wind from all around.


    It kept condensing, solidifying, integrating with the True Meaning of Earth.


    The merging of the two true intents, intricately exquisite, caused a wondrous change, allowing Li Yuan to vaguely perceive a profound and unpredictable fluctuation between heaven and earth.


    This fluctuation was fleeting.


    But that mysterious rhythm also made this thrust more powerful than any before; its speed was terrifyingly fast.


    Four long spears exploded simultaneously again!


    Whoosh~ leaving four barely discernible trails of spear light in the void


    Subsequently, three trails of light dissipated, leaving only the last, dazzling and heart-trembling one.


    Only the real long spear remained.


    ¡°No!!¡± The black serpent Yan Xuan was horrified, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.


    What kind of spear technique was this?


    How could it be so much stronger than before? That shouldn¡¯t be possible!!


    If this human martial artist had such strength, he should have killed me with one spear from the start.


    In an instant, many doubts flashed through the mind of the black serpent Yan Xuan, filled with fear of death.


    ¡°Pur-cht!¡±


    Too fast!


    Too fierce! S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The spear, following the gap in the black serpent Yan Xuan¡¯s wing blade, spun and thrust viciously into its gaping maw, piercing straight through the head!


    Yan Xuan, dead!


    At this moment, it seemed as if the world itself grew silent.


    The blood serpent Wu Sihai and the purple monkey Zi Pa were extremely shocked as they watched this scene, feeling the terrible might of that thrust.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This thrust?¡± Even those fleeing far away, like Yan Jing, Luo Chan and even Lin Yue, Dean Hai watching through a screen projection in the Star Realm, were equally astonished at this development.


    Li Yuan, facing three on his own, among them including two Flying Heaven Warrior powerhouses, had managed to counter-kill a True Intent Second Rank exotic beast in a very short time?


    ¡­huh!


    The four Li Yuans in the void simultaneously turned their heads, looking at the still-shocked blood serpent Wu Sihai and purple monkey Zi Pa, revealing a set of white teeth: ¡°It¡¯s time to send you on your way!¡±


    The two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts looked at each other.


    ¡°Run!¡± Their massive bodies instantly retreated, fleeing towards the distance.


    ¡°Run?¡±


    ¡°Can you escape?¡± Li Yuan took a step forward, combining the mysteries of the two true intents, sensing the vastness of the earth as well as the fluctuations of the wind¡¯s true intent¡­His speed soared immediately.

    Chapter 468: Chapter 285: The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement of 50% Spiritual Awakening Level


    In the command center outside the Star Realm, Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and a group of Flying Heaven Warriors were unbelievably shocked as they watched a scene in the projection.


    The fierce battle that just took place had them extremely worried.


    They wished they could personally rush into the Star Realm to fight with the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa¡­ but this was only a Second Level Star Realm, and the Flying Heaven Warriors from the outside couldn¡¯t enter.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors could only guard outside the Star Realm¡¯s channel, preventing the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s armies from marching straight in to attack Blue Star.


    Flying Heaven Warriors from the outside couldn¡¯t get in.


    Exotic beasts of the Cloud Beast Civilization like Wu Sihai and Purple Pa, who broke through within the Star Realm, were trapped inside forever, unable to leave.


    ...


    Yet today¡¯s battle had reversed the situation in an instant.


    ¡°That spear technique that just exploded?¡±


    ¡°How did Li Yuan manage to do that?¡±


    ¡°Such spear technique?¡± It wasn¡¯t strange that these Flying Heaven Warriors were startled, for Li Yuan¡¯s performance was truly terrifying.


    Through the light screen, they couldn¡¯t sense the specific fluctuations of heaven and earth, not grasping the mysteries.


    They only felt that the spear was both fast and eerie.


    Facing the spear technique exhibited by Li Yuan, the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa chose to flee for their lives, which suggested how astonishing the might of that spear must have been.


    Subconsciously, Lin Yue and Dean Hai exchanged a glance.


    The two of them knew the specifics of Li Yuan¡¯s situation well.


    Especially Dean Hai, who had personally sparred with Li Yuan, was the most familiar with Li Yuan¡¯s combat methods. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just discussing the True Meaning of Earth, even if Li Yuan had broken through from the initial stage to the intermediate rank of True Intent, he probably couldn¡¯t have achieved such an effect. Like Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, who once fought against Lude Nef, he was only slightly at a disadvantage, but his life was not in danger.


    The Mystery of Wind? Even less likely!


    After all, before this, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t even formed the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind.


    The two powerful Flying Heaven experts had extremely high standards and, based on Li Yuan¡¯s situation, had both thought of a possibility¡ªthe combination of the Mysteries of True Intent.


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has just condensed the True Meaning of Wind? And combined the mysteries of the two True Intents?¡± Dean Hai held his breath, his heart trembling at the thought.


    A year ago, when Li Yuan left Kunlun Martial University, it seemed he had not even begun to grasp the Mystery of Wind.


    Just one year to condense True Intent?


    ¡°The combination of the Mysteries of True Intent.¡± Lin Yue thought of more: ¡°In the history of our Seven Star Civilization, there are hardly a few who could combine True Intents.¡±


    ¡°What a monster!¡±


    ¡°No wonder Lanyue was certain that Li Yuan would become a being comparable to the predecessor Dongfang Ji, or even surpass him to become Divine.¡± Lin Yue thought back to not long ago.


    At that time, Lin Lanyue had returned from the World within Worlds, and before going to the Martial Divine Star Realm, she had come to see him. Father and daughter had had an in-depth conversation, which included discussing Li Yuan.


    The combination of different True Intent Mysteries, complementing each other¡¯s weaknesses, indeed held terrifying power.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization actually all understood this point.


    But why did they almost discourage the strong from doing so? Or rather, why did no strong being attempt it?


    Because just comprehending multiple True Intents of heaven and earth was already incredibly difficult; most people only had the talent for one Law of the Great Dao.


    That was only the first step, which had already stumped countless people.


    The truly difficult part was the second step, the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent¡­ The difficulty was much higher than simply comprehending True Intent, so much so that throughout the history of the entire Seven Star Civilization, not even a few demigods managed to combine the Mysteries of True Intent.


    Li Yuan could do it because he had, one, what could be called a top-notch external cultivation condition, which made him progress swiftly on the paths of two Mysteries of heaven and earth.


    Two, it was his innate talent.


    He seemed to be naturally skilled at combining the Laws of the Great Dao of Earth and Wind¡­ This was also what amazed Lie Feng Semi Divine, who before Li Yuan¡¯s departure as apprentice, affirmed that Li Yuan was on the right path, encouraging him to persevere in following his own heart.


    ¡°If it¡¯s really the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°With such a short time to grasp two great True Intents, in the future he has a complete chance to step into the Laws of the Great Dao¡­ Once the Mysteries are combined?¡± Lin Yue hardly dared to think.


    It was as if he could see an extremely terrifying being, rising rapidly with astonishing speed.


    ¡­


    Inside the Rob Sea Star Realm, above the void of the contiguous mountain range, Yan Jing and Luo Chan were also flabbergasted.


    ¡°Is Li Yuan this strong? Why did he have us escape first?¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°He must have just made a breakthrough,¡± said Yan Jing, with a hint of a smile, ¡°Or maybe¡­ he doesn¡¯t even know how strong he has become.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, follow them.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Luo Chan and Yan Jing had abruptly stopped in their tracks, following closely behind, they turned into two streaks of light, dashing towards where Li Yuan and the others had gone.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Li Yuan moved erratically like a gust of wind, his speed had surged, rapidly closing in on Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa.


    ¡°Unexpected!¡±


    ¡°When I was observing the movement technique of that black Flying Serpent, I had a realization, and just began to form the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind¡­ which led to such a transformation.¡± Although Li Yuan was pursuing the two Flying Heaven beings, his mind involuntarily recalled the scene from just earlier.


    As soon as the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind formed,


    Unconsciously, the True Meanings of Earth and Wind combined, making Li Yuan aware that his Perception Ability was soaring. In that instant, he felt the vast and unfathomable heavens and earth, touched upon even deeper mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, space¡­ endless space¡­


    There was no end!


    What is called the vast earth is first and foremost because space is vast and boundless.


    What is called fluctuating with the wind, the wind as well roams freely in endless space.


    The vast heavens and earth, the limitless starry sky, all exist within space.


    Countless mysteries of the Laws operate within space.


    ¡°[Combination of the True Meaning of Earth and the initial form of the True Meaning of Wind, comprehension of a trace of the Mysteries of Space].¡± Li Yuan glimpsed this prompt on the Divine Palace panel out of the corner of his eye.


    But there was no change on the Divine Palace panel. It didn¡¯t show a reminder like ¡®Mysteries of Space 1%¡¯ or anything like that.

 Chapter 469 - 285: The Mystery of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_2

    Chapter 469: Chapter 285: The Mystery of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_2


    But Li Yuan was still both astonished and shocked.


    ¡°Mysteries of Space?¡±


    ¡°Could it be the legendary, supreme Space Law?¡± Li Yuan found it somewhat unbelievable in his heart, ¡°The combination of Earth and Wind Mysteries actually allowed me to touch upon the Mysteries of Space?¡±


    The Mysteries of Space were not recorded in any of the Seven Star Civilization data archives that Li Yuan had access to.


    Perhaps the related information had not been made available to Li Yuan yet.


    The reason Li Yuan knew about it was because of Ancient Torch Divine¡¯s inheritance, which clearly alerted and explained in the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± cultivation information.


    ...


    To cultivate the Supreme Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the Sixth Rank, one must have a certain comprehension of space.


    Meanwhile, in the inheritance information of the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± there was a description of the ¡®Space Law.¡¯


    Space, Time.


    They are the origins of all Laws, the cornerstone of all things in motion.


    Like the Wind Law, the Law of Earth, and others, they are the manifestations of the operation of heaven and earth. Demigods and many Sky-Flying powerhouses all have the hope of comprehending and stepping into the threshold. However, the Mystery of Space is too profound, usually only Divine beings could gradually come into contact with the Mysteries of Space¡­


    ¡°There is no display.¡±


    ¡°That means, my comprehension is too shallow, not even approaching 1% of the Mysteries of Space,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan dared not even dream of comprehending the Space Law now.


    Too unrealistic!


    His Life Level was insufficient, his spiritual power not strong enough, he couldn¡¯t even perceive the fluctuations of the vast space.


    ¡°Just now, I only used the combination of Earth and Wind True Intents vaguely to sense a trace,¡± Li Yuan harbored a bit of anticipation in his heart, ¡°This means, the combined Mysteries of Earth and Wind Laws might gradually lead to comprehending the Mysteries of Space?¡±


    This was undoubtedly a tremendous surprise.


    ¡°I¡¯ve only just touched upon a trace of the Mystery and am far from even the threshold,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°What I can do is continue to comprehend the True Intents of Earth and Wind and strive to combine the two.¡±


    ¡°Let nature take its course in comprehension, and perhaps one day, I¡¯ll truly step into the threshold of the Mysteries of Space.¡±


    In the past, when Li Yuan comprehended the two Great Laws¡¯ Mysteries, he only desired to follow the path of the Divine being in the Martial God inheritance and maximize his strength.


    But now, he had a higher pursuit and aspiration¡ªThe Mysteries of Space!


    This is the true path of light.


    ¡­


    It seemed slow to speak of.


    In reality, it took less than a second for Li Yuan to think everything through, and he didn¡¯t delay the pursuit to kill.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan, after his breakthrough, exploded with astonishing speed and quickly caught up with Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Ape Zipa.


    Neither of them had condensed the True Meaning of Wind, and their flying speed was far inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s post-breakthrough.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A long spear suddenly thrust out, following the invisible fluctuations between heaven and earth, emitting an eerie and dazzling spear light. The unpredictable spear light pierced through the sky, directly assaulting Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    Blood Serpent Wu Sihai!


    In the related intelligence, he was the strongest leader of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea, naturally making him Li Yuan¡¯s primary target.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Blood Serpent Wu Sihai suddenly roared, swinging his claws, while also spewing out endless cold air from his mouth. Layers of cold air condensed in front of him in the void, like a huge barrier.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The spear¡¯s might was swift and fierce, striking directly on the rapidly condensing ice, the tip of the spear erupting with power and instantly shattering layers of ice.


    Then, without any reduction in force, the spear¡¯s power swept across the Vast Sky, like a dragon emerging from the sea, directly thrusting into the center of Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s howling claw.


    The surface of the claw glimmered with a metallic sheen, clearly wearing a combat device.


    ¡°Sizzle~Bang!¡±


    The Black Chen Spear was exceptionally sharp. With one thrust, it almost penetrated the claw¡¯s surface Battle Garment, piercing into the flesh of the claw, and the terrifying impact also sent Blood Serpent Wu Sihai flying backward.


    As for Li Yuan, he only took two steps back.


    In such a direct confrontation, Li Yuan had already completely suppressed Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    ¡°This mysterious True Intent Prime Warrior has indeed broken through; his attack power is definitely comparable to Level 33,¡± Blood Serpent Wu Sihai thought with great alarm.


    With every level increase in Sky-Flying Level Life, there¡¯s a significant increase in base strength, coupled with the difference in Mysteries of True Intent, weapons, Star Techniques, and many other aspects¡­ this makes every level difference among Sky-Flying Warriors quite pronounced.


    For example, a Level 35 Sky-Flying Peak Warrior, under normal circumstances, if in close combat, could kill a Level 30 Sky-Flying Warrior with just one or two moves.


    Before the breakthrough, when Li Yuan and the monkey Zipa fought, they exerted all their strength, and the attack power was close to Level 32.


    And now, as a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan¡¯s attacks were comparable to Level 33, which was already astonishing.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the Black Chen Spear,¡±


    ¡°Even with the breakthrough,¡±


    ¡°My Spear Technique¡¯s attack power would probably just slightly overtake Blood Serpent Wu Sihai,¡± Li Yuan silently reflected.


    He had broken through the Mystery of Wind ¡®Phantom Body,¡¯ which did not greatly enhance his direct attack power.


    However, his improvement in other aspects was quite substantial.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, instantly dividing into four Phantom Bodies, transforming into four swift lights, hurtling towards Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Countless spear shadows enveloped Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, each spear shadow elusively difficult to track, all containing terrifying might.


    ¡°Not good!¡± The color drained from Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s face, as his worst fear had finally arrived. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even with his Divine Sense, he could not distinguish which Phantom Body was Li Yuan¡¯s true form.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Waves of cold air surged crazily from Wu Sihai, enveloping an area of a hundred meters around him, trying to freeze Li Yuan¡¯s Phantom Bodies¡­ Meanwhile, wisps of pale yellow currents also emerged in the void, clashing crazily with the cold air.


    The combined Mysteries of the Earth and Wind True Intents, with their strong might, were already on par with the high rank of True Intents.

 Chapter 470 - 285: The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_3

    Chapter 470: Chapter 285: The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_3


    The Domain of True Intent formed in an instant, though still inferior to Wu Sihai¡¯s Domain Star Technique, was barely able to contend.


    Boom boom boom~ The collision of the two great Domains had little effect on Li Yuan¡¯s Phantom Body.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Wu Sihai completely lost it, his claws whistled, his wings slashed like knives, his massive tail swooshed and lashed¡­ Every part of his body became a weapon, frantically blocking Li Yuan¡¯s unpredictably enigmatic Spear Technique, where the real and the fake were indiscernible.


    ¡°Puchi!¡±


    ¡°Bang!¡± Scales flew everywhere, copious amounts of blood splattered, and even flesh was directly torn apart by the spear blade. Wu Sihai was completely suppressed by Li Yuan.


    ...


    Perhaps the last attack of this phantom form was false,


    but the next spear thrust turned real.


    The essence of the Phantom Body is in the illusion; as the flowing light continuously crisscrossed, Li Yuan kept changing the position of his true body.


    ¡°Zippa, save me!¡± Blood Serpent Wu Sihai transmitted a furious and panicked plea.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Boom! The monkey Zippa went crazy, turning into a streak of light as he rapidly fled. Seeing Wu Sihai¡¯s miserable state, there was only one thought in his mind¡ªescape!


    Survival was of utmost importance!


    ¡°Damn bastard!¡± Wu Sihai roared in anger, but still couldn¡¯t change his fate.


    Even though he tried to flee, Li Yuan was too fast, tangling with him time and again, causing Wu Sihai¡¯s speed to sharply decrease, and then forcing him to face battle¡­ Wu Sihai¡¯s injuries grew increasingly severe.


    Boom boom boom~


    Wu Sihai¡¯s massive tail violently lashed out, striking the mountainside and causing the entire mountain to collapse thunderously.


    The battle between the two powerhouses caused mountain after mountain to fall.


    Li Yuan had to admit that the life force of a Flying Heaven expert was indeed shocking. Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, equipped with full Combat Armor and invoking his powerful Origin Power¡­ Even if Li Yuan¡¯s Black Chen Spear hit his body repeatedly, it could only pierce slightly.


    But the steady increase of injuries weakened the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s resistance even further.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    As another domineering spear thrust attacked, Blood Serpent Wu Sihai barely attempted to dodge, but he was a beat slow. His huge eyes narrowed with a hint of terror, and he could only watch helplessly as the long spear pierced through.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± The long spear penetrated the eye of the snake, and the Spear Light exploded in an instant, turning the inside of Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s head into mush.


    His consciousness was completely lost.


    The surging Origin Power within him instantly lost its response along with his armor, and then the huge snakehead burst violently.


    Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, dead!


    ¡°[You have killed a Third Rank creature, breaking the shackles of the Divine Palace, and obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment]¡±


    ¡°[After your spiritual power reaches Level 37, the limit of Spiritual Awakening will increase from 45% to 50%. As the shackles of the Divine Palace have been broken, once the Spiritual Awakening Limit reaches 50%, it will continue to increase to 60%]¡± Two consecutive Divine Palace prompts flashed by.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan immediately noticed, a glint of surprise and some emotion in his eyes, ¡°Spiritual power requirement is actually Level 37.¡±


    Long time ago,


    from past experience, Li Yuan had surmised that to elevate the Spiritual Awakening Level limit from 50% to 60%, one had to kill a Third Rank Alien Race.


    But!!


    Merely killing a Third Rank Alien Race was not enough; one had to first elevate it to 50%.


    Doing so requires an extremely high level of spiritual power. Initially, Li Yuan guessed it was Level 35, but even after his spiritual power surpassed Level 36, the limit of Spiritual Awakening did not increase.


    Today, it was finally confirmed.


    It must be spiritual power reaching Level 37.


    ¡°To awaken the Six Star Pulse, the upper limit of Life Level is 36.9, unless one awakens the Seven Star Veins, otherwise it is impossible to break through,¡± Li Yuan muttered, ¡°To reach Level 37 in spiritual power is not that hard, but it will also take some time.¡±


    ¡­


    Swoosh! S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After killing the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, Li Yuan¡¯s figure shot across the Vast Sky, swiftly closing in on the three fighting figures several kilometers away.


    That giant golden spider was furiously entangled by Yan Jing and Luo Chan, unable to break free.


    As for the monkey Zippa? He was a mid-stage Flying Heaven powerhouse and had taken the opportunity to flee tens of kilometers away during Li Yuan and Wu Sihai¡¯s skirmish, faintly disappearing at the edge of the world.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan arrived like lightning, glanced at the golden spider¡ªa Second Rank Exotic Beast with consolidated True Intent and also mighty in strength, on par with Yan Jing.


    And those spider webs it spat out, suspended in the void, further handicapped Yan Jing and Luo Chan.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A Spear Light dashed across Vast Sky, heading directly for the spider Jin Mu.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The golden spider made a strange cry, its eight legs retracting rapidly in an attempt to avoid the spear.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± What seemed like a miss suddenly multiplied, the Spear Light appearing to twist the void, piercing through the head of the golden spider before it could react.


    Dead!


    ¡­ ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°It died with just one spear thrust?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan were on the side, their eyes wide and feeling a chill in their hearts.


    It was terrifying indeed.


    They didn¡¯t know that in terms of attack potency, Li Yuan was not considered too strong. Compared to Lude Nef before his breakthrough, he was only slightly superior¡­ but the combination of Li Yuan¡¯s Earth and Wind True Intent Mysteries infused his Spear Technique with both attributes.


    The threat was astonishing!


    That was why Blood Serpent Wu Sihai could survive against Lude Nef but perished against Li Yuan.


    ¡°Yan Jing, Luo Chan, you continue to sweep the other target areas,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice echoed in their minds, ¡°I¡¯ll go after that Flying Heaven Exotic Beast.¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s speed did not slow in the slightest as he shot up, howling in pursuit of the monkey Zippa, who had already escaped fifty to sixty kilometers away.

 Chapter 471 - 286: Attack the Hive! Who is he?

    Chapter 471: Chapter 286: Attack the Hive! Who is he?


    ¡°Li Yuan has gone to kill.¡±


    ¡°What about us?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan hesitated for a moment when they heard Li Yuan¡¯s command.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Follow Li Yuan¡¯s orders,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice sounded in both of their ears at the same time.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan immediately responded, and then transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly heading towards the other targeted areas they had planned.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s body flowed with the mysteries of two major True Intents, his spirit closely aligned with the earth and sensing the invisible fluctuations of wind as he rapidly closed in on the fleeing monkey-like Zippa.


    ...


    ¡°He¡¯s really fast at escaping! I can only shorten the distance by a little over a hundred meters every second?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    This meant that their flying speeds were very close.


    Flying speed is determined by many factors such as the mysteries of the heavens and the earth, Origin Power, Star Techniques, Treasure Instruments, and so on.


    As a Prime Warrior who solely relied on the mysteries of the heavens and earth to maintain flight, reaching roughly five times the speed of sound, Li Yuan was already considered quite fast among flying martial artists.


    ¡°If I achieve Flying Heaven status, with my super strong Origin Power, it would also significantly increase my flying speed,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Boom! Li Yuan was in no hurry as he pursued his quarry.


    After all, as long as the distance between them was closing and as long as he could lock onto the life essence of his quarry¡­ he would definitely be able to catch up.


    Boom!


    The incredibly thick thighs stomped hard on the void, immediately fleeing like a streak of light.


    Zippa the monkey was fleeing desperately, his heart trembling non-stop and even feeling some fury: ¡°Yan Xuan¡¯s dead, Jin Mu¡¯s dead, even Wu Sihai is dead¡­ and yet, I¡¯m still being pursued? How overbearing!¡±


    All were dead, leaving only him.


    ¡°His flying speed is faster than mine.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯ll catch up sooner or later.¡± Zippa¡¯s mind worked rapidly: ¡°I can¡¯t escape the Star Realm¡­ Only by fleeing to the nests of the several great Mother Beasts can I live.¡±


    ¡°I have to escape to Elden¡¯s place! The fourth Mother Beast¡¯s nest has developed more than half, capable of exerting enough strength.¡± Zippa decided in an instant.


    Of the four major Mother Beast nests, three are mature, known by the Seven Star Civilization, yet have remained unshakable.


    The last one is a nest recently laid out by the Cloud Beast Civilization and still growing.


    ¡°As long as I can get there alive, I will surely survive,¡± Zippa felt a strong desire within him.


    According to regulations, he shouldn¡¯t lead Li Yuan to the nest.


    But survival is crucial!


    The other three mature Mother Beast nests, the closest one to him, are more than 3000 kilometers away.


    Only the fourth Mother Beast nest is about 1200 kilometers away.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two powerful beings, one in pursuit and the other fleeing, continually broke through the vast sky, their bodies merging with the heavens and the earth¡­ perfectly controlling their power while flying.


    If it were a life-or-death fight, it would be much harder to control power so perfectly.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, be careful,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice suddenly rang in Li Yuan¡¯s ear: ¡°The direction he¡¯s fleeing in, from a straight line, does not head towards any of the three Mother Beast nests.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, the shift to pursuit had happened so quickly, just ten seconds after killing Wu Sihai, and he hadn¡¯t realized this yet.


    ¡°There are three possibilities,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°First, there might be Sky-Flying level combatants from the Cloud Beast Civilization heading this way.¡±


    ¡°Second, the straight line he¡¯s rushing along could lead him to a place where he can save his life.¡±


    ¡°Third, he either ran in the wrong direction, or he deliberately led you toward something¡­ But that makes almost no sense, since the locations of the three major brood nests have long been exposed, and he should be aware of that.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan had grasped Lin Yue¡¯s meaning. As a Flying Heaven level powerhouse capable of flight, there¡¯s no need to take a detour.


    Flying straight is the shortest distance.


    And now that the purple ape Zippa has forsaken even Wu Sihai¡¯s life in its desire to escape, it must be incredibly desperate to survive.


    ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s something on the road ahead that could block me, or threaten my life?¡± A sense of vigilance rose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Although his own strength had greatly increased, at best he could hope to escape from the hands of a Flying Heaven peak powerhouse, but he was far from invincible.


    There were far too many things that could threaten his life.


    But Li Yuan would not give up the chase¡­ As long as he could kill this Zippa, the threat of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm would drastically decrease.


    After all, it would be extremely difficult for the Cloud Beast Civilization to cultivate another mid-Flying Heaven level warrior in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    If he did not kill it today and let it escape, Zippa might completely hide away, only to reemerge after decades¡­ How could he possibly stay at the Prime Warrior realm for that long?


    ¡°I can¡¯t expect a stronger Prime Warrior to emerge from the younger generation than myself,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent, ¡°As long as I kill him.¡±


    ¡°Next, I can attempt to eradicate the three major brood nests, thoroughly cleansing the Rob Sea Star Realm, returning peace to Xia Country.¡± Li Yuan had never forgotten his initial purpose throughout his journey of cultivation.


    The three major brood nests are right there, they will not leave.


    ¡­


    Thousands of kilometers away.


    In the mountainside next to the fourth brood nest, the only remaining black Exotic Beast among the three Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, ¡®Elden,¡¯ was shocked as he watched the scenes revealed in the projections.


    The scenes in the three projections were rather chaotic and even blurry at times.


    They were the last images sent by Jin Mu and Wu Sihai before their deaths, as well as the messages transmitted back by Zippa¡­ A figure in black, with an obscured face, but overwhelmingly domineering, his long spear piercing the vast sky with chilling sharpness, a strength and imperiousness that made one¡¯s heart tremble.


    ¡°A master of Spear Technique?¡±


    ¡°A suspected combination of the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind?¡±


    ¡°When did a Seven Star Civilization give birth to such a terrifyingly talented Prime Warrior?¡± Elden felt a chill in his heart; this power was too frightening.


    Far beyond him.


    For a Prime Warrior to reach such heights, how profound must his skill and comprehension be?


    Sixth Stage initial rank comprehension is a common standard for a mid-Flying Heaven level warrior.


    Sixth Stage intermediate and high rank comprehension marks the level of a Flying Heaven peak.


    Like Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef, and Li Yuan before and after his breakthrough, their skill comprehension levels could all be considered at the Flying Heaven peak level, but the gaps between them were also significant.


    Sixth Stage Perfection comprehension belongs to the Demigod level.


    ¡°The ability to form four Phantom Bodies with a single thought, and his True Intent Domain being able to withstand Wu Sihai¡¯s Domain.¡± Elden mused, ¡°This human Prime Warrior must be of high rank True Intent.¡±


    Moreover, after searching through many past records, he found no trace of this mysterious talent.


    Suddenly~


    Woosh~ A large number of lights converged, quickly forming a light screen projection, in which a giant Flying Serpent was vaguely visible. The serpent¡¯s surface seemed to be undulating with a blood-colored flow, at first glance, resembling an enlarged version of the blood serpent Wu Sihai.


    In the projection, the serpent¡¯s eyes were filled with icy intent, seemingly looking down upon Elden.


    ¡°Elden.¡± A deep voice echoed in the mountainside.


    ¡°Saint Lord Wudong Xue.¡± Elden bowed slightly, at first glance appearing quite respectful.


    Within the Cloud Beast Civilization, only a Demigod could be addressed as Saint Lord.


    ¡°The intelligence you reported is very timely; the mysterious genius of the Seven Star Civilization is indeed unknown to us,¡± a deep voice rose. ¡°You have accrued great merit.¡±


    ¡°Soon, your reward will be sent to the Star Realm!¡±


    ¡°But as of now, Wu Sihai is dead, and Zippa¡­ may not make it back alive.¡± The deep voice continued, ¡°I need you to hold this mother nest beast lair.¡±


    ¡°As long as you can hold it, it¡¯s as if you¡¯ve gained another great achievement.¡±


    Elden fell silent.


    Hold this place? What a joke!


    ¡°Demigod, I can¡¯t do it,¡± Elden said, shaking his head repeatedly. ¡°That human Prime Warrior is too terrifying¡­ I think we should avoid the sharp edge for now and retreat immediately.¡±


    ¡°Are you planning to abandon the mother nest beast lair? This is an order.¡± A trace of fury seeped through the deep voice.


    He was just about to go on.


    ¡°Demigod, the signal isn¡¯t great,¡± suddenly said Elden, and then his mind stirred.


    Boom!


    The entire projection instantly dissipated.


    ¡°Hmph! You want me to stay here and defend to the death?¡± Elden muttered, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness: ¡°You can¡¯t command Zippa, can¡¯t make him not flee this way¡­ As long as the people of the Seven Stars aren¡¯t stupid, they will definitely suspect this direction.¡±


    ¡°It will be exposed soon.¡±


    ¡°They want me to defend to the death? A mother nest beast lair that hasn¡¯t fully developed? Even with me added, the probability of holding it doesn¡¯t exceed seventy percent.¡±


    Seventy percent hope sounds high.


    But Elden doesn¡¯t want to risk a thirty percent chance of death.


    If his people were willing to provide benefits, he wouldn¡¯t mind following orders, but not at the expense of his own life.


    Previously, Wu Sihai was the great chief, and everything was basically up to Wu Sihai.


    Or rather, the three great Flying Heaven exotic beasts kept each other in check.


    ¡°Hmph! Wu Sihai is dead; Zippa is doomed. From now on, I call the shots in this part of the Star Realm,¡± Elden swiped with his massive hoof claw.


    He quickly packed up all the items inside the mountain and especially covered up any traces of his presence.


    Boom!


    With a great movement, Elden swiftly fled along another passage in the mountain belly.


    ¡­


    In the core of the Cloud Beast Civilization, a vast planet teemed with countless exotic beasts.


    The entire planet was governed by many temples, each established by the civilization¡¯s demigods.


    Today.


    In one imposing temple that resembled a great serpent, towering nearly a kilometer high, the whole temple looked like a giant serpent¡¯s lair¡ªquite different from the usual human temples.


    ¡°He must die!¡±


    ¡°This Elden dared to disobey orders; he must die,¡± roared the Flying Serpent demigod, emitting a powerful and fierce aura.


    The raging sound echoed through the temple.


    It terrified the many second-rank and even third-rank exotic beasts in the vicinity of the temple, causing them to kneel and cower on the ground.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Wudong Xue, the demigod, felt his heart bleeding.


    He had paid a tremendous price to trade for a ¡®juvenile mother nest¡¯, and was it to be lost just like this?


    After all, why did he value the Rob Sea Star Realm so much? Because its resources and territory size vastly surpassed the fiefdom he held within his civilization.


    Of course, he was not the only demigod to invest resources in the Rob Sea¡­ it was a collective decision by many demigods, with him directly in charge.


    ¡°Now, we can only hope that the mysterious Prime Warrior is not strong enough,¡± Wudong Xue, the demigod, thought to himself.


    What can he do if Elden doesn¡¯t follow orders?


    Cool as a cucumber!


    Separated by Star Realms, he couldn¡¯t do anything to the other party¡­ and as long as Elden hasn¡¯t betrayed the civilization, when he contacts him again, he can¡¯t even get mad.


    Just like Elden, Wudong Xue, the demigod, looked up at the blurred projection of the figure in black, equally filled with wonder: ¡°Who is he?¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm? Zippa is dead?¡± Wudong Xue, the demigod, received the message and shook his head irritably: ¡°Fool!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re all fools!¡±


    ¡­


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡°Woosh!¡±


    That final, domineering spear thrust pierced right through the head of the simian Zippa, instantly obliterating all of his consciousness.


    Zippa¡¯s massive body crashed down, falling heavily onto the mountain below, motionless.


    Flying Heaven-level life forms wouldn¡¯t die immediately even if their hearts burst.


    Only the head was absolutely vital. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Finally killed him. Practicing that Body Refining Star Technique really made him difficult to kill, much harder than that Blood Serpent,¡± muttered Li Yuan, shaking his head slightly, gripping the long spear in his hand.


    Just now, he had chased for 600 kilometers before finally catching up to his foe.


    The two had battled fiercely along the way, or rather, Zippa frantically fled while Li Yuan circled around him, attacking time and again¡­ After another hundred kilometers of prolonged fighting, the towering simian finally fell unwillingly.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan waved his hand and gathered up the storage magical treasure, the huge wolf-tooth club, combat armor, and many other treasures left by the other party.


    In the end, only a corpse remained.


    ¡°Target ¡®Simian Zippa¡¯ is confirmed dead, coordinates¡­¡± Li Yuan quickly sent the location coordinates to the base.


    A corpse of a Flying Heaven-level life form was of little use to him personally.


    But for the entire Seven Star Civilization, it held a certain research and commemorative value and would be counted for Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Fighting all the way here.¡±


    ¡°This simian Zippa fled in this direction; there must be secrets ahead,¡± Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, following the same direction to rapidly inquire.


    While flying, Li Yuan was fully sensing the fluctuations of the world around him, wary of missing anything.


    ¡­


    Just ten minutes later.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± After flying for hundreds of kilometers and inquiring all along the way, Li Yuan suddenly stopped, turning his head towards another direction; he had a vague sensation.


    Tens of kilometers away, the earth was sending out strange vibrations.


    Boom!


    He immediately corrected his direction slightly and sped over; tens of seconds later, he finally saw it clearly.


    ¡°Another mother nest beast lair?¡± Li Yuan stared at the canyon filled with countless dark mists, his eyes erupting with an astonishing murderous intent.

 Chapter 472 - 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 472: Chapter 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood why the Cloud Beast Civilization had suddenly launched such a massive offensive, even deploying two Second Rank Exotic Beasts with condensed True Intent.


    It turned out there was a queen¡¯s nest hidden in the dark?


    The previous three queen¡¯s nests had been drawing the essence of the earth from the Rob Sea Star Realm, continuously giving birth to a massive number of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, and every one to two years, they would initiate a great war.


    Thus, they already posed a great threat to Xia Country, compelling it to keep a million-strong army on standby near the passage to Star Realm year-round.


    If one more were to be added? The pressure would only be greater.


    ¡°This queen¡¯s nest seems not yet to have grown to its peak,¡± Li Yuan compared it with the intelligence he knew and quickly came to a conclusion.


    ...


    And Li Yuan¡¯s perception ability was astonishing; he could generally sense the surging black fog within that gorge was faintly continuing to expand.


    ¡°It must be destroyed,¡± was the thought that immediately followed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Even if, for the time being, he couldn¡¯t destroy the three mature queen¡¯s nests, this fourth one must not be allowed to grow any further.


    ¡°Here, it¡¯s not possible to contact the base to send a message,¡± Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brow.


    Once past five thousand kilometers from the entrance and exit of the Star Realm, the signal would be cut off. (Chapter 282)


    And the location where Li Yuan was at the moment was nearly six thousand kilometers from the Star Realm entrance and exit¡­ well outside the range for signal reception.


    Now, Li Yuan stood alone.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan thought for only a few seconds before he grasped his Long Spear, transforming into a streak of light, bursting into the gorge.


    Swish!


    Other areas of the Star Realm might also be desolate, but there were still some plants around, and from time to time, you could see quite a few low-lying trees, but the sides of this enormous gorge, stretching several kilometers across, were completely silent, showing not even a hint of life.


    Even the rocks and soil were faintly tainted black.


    It was as if everything had been polluted, instinctively arousing disgust in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Closing in quickly.


    Danger! Danger!


    As Li Yuan drew within about two kilometers, his formidable spiritual power intuited a significant threat¡­ as if the enveloping fog contained a grave danger, one that could threaten his life.


    ¡°Indeed, this is a queen¡¯s nest still in the midst of growth and transformation,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shifted slightly, ¡°Judging by the aura it gives off and its size, it should already have grown past halfway.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    About the queen¡¯s nest.


    The Seven Star Civilization had once breached one, hence there was detailed intelligence, especially since Li Yuan entered the Rob Sea Star Realm¡­ he had obtained all the data on the queen¡¯s nests.


    It was a very special symbiotic life form.


    Not a single entity, but rather composed of a large number of nurturing creatures that merged together, with the strongest core creature at its center.


    They also leveraged a rare treasure, ¡°Myriad Beasts Blood Source¡± to form a powerful and special Origin Power Array, which allowed them to continuously draw energy from all directions of the land to supply the nurturing creatures for breeding Exotic Beasts.


    To breach a queen¡¯s nest, it sounds simple: break the Origin Power Array, seize the Myriad Beasts Blood Source, and the whole nest would naturally collapse on its own.


    But!!


    Aside from the time in a Third Level Star Realm when the Seven Star Civilization happened to break through a powerful nest and got a glimpse of its secrets¡­ they never breached another one since.


    As for the three major queen¡¯s nests in the Rob Sea Star Realm, years ago, Lude Nef had led a large number of Flying Heaven Level Prime Warriors into battle there, facing off in a bloody war, even killing several of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s top combatants.


    Yet in the end, they could only retreat helplessly.


    ¡°In terms of strength, I should be slightly stronger than Lude Nef in aspects such as attacking, fleeing, and Divine Body Defense, except possibly in stealth,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, not yet aware that Lude Nef had made a breakthrough.


    ¡°If even I can¡¯t manage it, then I fear no Prime Warrior of my Seven Star Civilization could,¡± a cold light flickered in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°And as time goes by, the might of this queen¡¯s nest will only grow, making it even harder to conquer.¡±


    With that thought,


    ¡°Hum!¡±


    A thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind, and within a radius of about fifty meters centered on him, strands of earthy yellow and green auras instantly appeared.


    A domain combining two great True Intents!


    Overall, its power had greatly increased compared to before he had condensed the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Wind.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan, transformed into a stream of light, maintained a hundred-meter diameter domain akin to a vast sphere, thundering forward and rushing towards the queen¡¯s nest shrouded in numerous black mist.


    These mists were the strange powers exhaled by many creatures, meant to protect and conceal themselves.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    As the domain of True Intent descended overwhelmingly, it rolled forward like a terrifying steamroller, dispersing the black mist right in front of it.


    But farther away, more and more black mist surged crazily.


    ¡°Roar!!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± From within the endless black mist, angry howls and roars could be faintly heard, as if countless Exotic Beasts were roaring in fury.


    In a blink of an eye,


    Li Yuan, with his domain, plunged hundreds of meters into the black mist, and even the domain of True Intent was nearly submerged by the black mist¡­ but as the domain dispersed a great deal of the mist, it became much thinner.


    Thus, from the outside, Li Yuan¡¯s domain of True Intent could still be seen.


    And within that thick black fog,


    Li Yuan already began directly clashing with the massive queen¡¯s nest.


    It was only now that he could vaguely glimpse the true appearance of the queen¡¯s nest.


    There were countless black biological tissues pulsating, like a sea of flesh¡­ seen from a great height, it was clearly an unbelievably large flesh ball.

    Chapter 473: Chapter 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2


    ¡°If it were a fully mature body, a tough protective layer would form on the surface, able to easily withstand attacks from the Flying Heaven Level, even nuclear weapons would have trouble destroying it¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind was flooded with related information.


    The Seven Star Civilization had conducted numerous experiments long ago.


    If it were a complete entity, Li Yuan would have no confidence in destroying it, but now it didn¡¯t even have an outer protective layer?


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan burst forth, his long spear stabbing out fiercely, Origin Power stimulating the Black Chen Spear, invoking the Mysteries of True Intent, and instantly creating terrifying spear lights.


    They struck upon the massive black flesh ball.


    ...


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    The first spear light tore a huge wound on the flesh ball, exposing countless blood-red threads inside, resembling blood vessels, constantly breaking and dissolving.


    More spear lights fell, causing even more damage to the massive flesh ball.


    The next moment.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The growing hive beast lair was in complete uproar, and a massive amount of black substance emerged from the giant flesh ball, forming terrifying black glows that surged from all directions like a flood.


    These black glows contained astonishing power.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan was also going all out, invoking the Body Refining Star Technique with a thought, his body instantly turning three meters tall, bursting forth with an infinitely robust aura, the shockwaves impacting in every direction.


    ¡°Kill!¡± With a furious shout from Li Yuan, he fiercely descended upon the giant flesh ball, his legs stomping down hard, causing the flesh and blood to explode.


    A stab from the spear!


    Whoosh!


    The fearsome spear light that cut through the Vast Sky pierced through large amounts of the black glows, completely tearing apart the flesh ball¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Li Yuan was utterly frenzied, in that instant, choosing to directly enter the depths of the hive beast lair.


    ¡°My Origin Power is limited! In such a war of attrition, I will certainly lose. To win, there¡¯s only one way to go.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°With absolute strength, break directly into the heart of the hive beast lair and seize the Myriad Beasts Blood Source,¡± Li Yuan was clear in his heart.


    Beyond this path.


    There were no other options in the short term.


    Risky? Of course, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t guarantee coming out unscathed, but some risks are worth taking.


    If one doesn¡¯t dare to risk attacking an immature hive beast lair, how can one claim to destroy three mature ones in the future?


    The path of cultivation.


    You must be cautious when it¡¯s time to be cautious, but when it¡¯s time to fight for your life, you must also be willing to go mad with effort! S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Li Yuan fully unleashed his power, with terrifying spear lights rampaging inside the hive beast lair, dealing devastating blows to the numerous mother beasts time after time.


    Similarly.


    ¡°Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh! Boom!¡± Endless black materials like a deluge, chased after Li Yuan through the vast channels within the hive beast lair¡­ It was a pure battle of attrition.


    The countless mother beasts attempted to drain the life out of the formidable enemy using massive amounts of energy.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan and the hive beast lair were locked in battle, about three hundred kilometers away from the battlefield.


    Deep underground.


    The black Exotic Beast Elden had been fleeing madly deep into the earth, more than ten kilometers down.


    He dared not stop for even a moment.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Fleeing Elden suddenly received a message, a transmission from the hive beast lair.


    ¡°SOS!¡±


    ¡°SOS!¡± The numerous mother beasts in the hive beast lair, which also had their own consciousness, could communicate and connect with the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    ¡°Save them?¡±


    ¡°Looks like the battle has begun,¡± Elden thought to himself, sending back a message with a thought: ¡°I¡¯m on my way, just hold on a bit longer. Once I arrive, we can join forces to defeat the enemy at once. Hold on.¡±


    ¡°Hang in there.¡±


    Boom!


    Having sent the message, Elden continued his frantic escape without looking back.


    ¡­


    Seconds and minutes ticked by.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two Flying Heaven War Machines sliced through the sky, tracing the direction where Li Yuan had disappeared, tracking him all the way.


    Inside the war machines, several Martial Artist pilots were observing the various map projections and Inquiry data.


    They were also constantly relaying this data back to an outpost base thousands of miles away.


    The outpost base would then swiftly feed the information back to the central command outside the Star Realm.


    ¡°How are things? Can you sense number one¡¯s signal?¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice was tinged with a hint of anxiety.


    He was very worried.


    Previously, Li Yuan had been hot on the heels of the purple monkey Zippa, and after sending the last message ¡®Zippa killed¡¯, he vanished from the signal range of the outpost base.


    At that moment, both Dean Hai and Lin Yue¡¯s hearts were in their throats. What was Li Yuan up to?


    Now, it had been so long, and their concern only grew.


    Fortunately!


    The Flying Heaven War Machines took off from the outpost base and arrived on the scene. Both war machines were equipped with ¡®signal relay¡¯ capabilities, like temporary satellites, able to detect signals from even more distant areas and then relay them back.


    ¡°Still no signal,¡± the Flying Heaven War Machine responded.


    Lin Yue and Dean Hai grew more worried¡ªthe time was long enough¡­ He should have come back by now.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Signal detected! The signal is weak, as if blocked by an invisible force,¡± came the message from the silver war machine: ¡°The signal¡¯s location¡­ Two hundred kilometers away, we¡¯re calling him and heading there now.¡±


    ¡°No response to the call for the moment.¡±


    Boom! Boom!


    The two war machines, capable of reaching three times the speed of sound, roared through the sky, swiftly flying towards the location of Li Yuan¡¯s signal.


    Such multi-sonic speed war machines were very difficult for Second Rank flying Exotic Beasts to intercept. Normally, those beasts would not exceed twice the speed of sound under normal conditions.


    ¡­


    Outside the Star Realm, at the command center.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and several other Flying Heaven Warriors watched anxiously as images relayed back from the war machines unfolded on the screen.

    Chapter 474: Chapter 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3


    Not long after.


    In the projected image, a huge canyon scene appeared, with only thin black fog remaining within the canyon.


    At the same time, an unimaginably immense lump of flesh, revealing only its top part which stood over a hundred meters tall and extended beyond a kilometer in length, like a mountain of meat, appeared within the line of sight of a group of Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ It was simply too colossal.


    It was as if a gigantic sphere was deeply buried underground, with only a small portion of its top exposed amidst layers of rock and earth.


    ¡°A nest behemoth?¡±


    ¡°This!!¡±


    ...


    ¡°This is a new nest behemoth.¡± The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was shocked.


    They were very clear about the location of the two war machines, which were very far away from the three mature nest behemoths, and those three were even larger¡­ This was definitely a new nest behemoth. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At that moment, even without Li Yuan¡¯s report, these Flying Heaven Warriors had already understood the intentions of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization wanted to establish a new nest behemoth to accumulate more powerful forces and launch a stronger attack against Xia Country.


    ¡°Report.¡±


    ¡°According to the signal location, number one¡­ is right inside this newly emerged nest behemoth.¡± Messages from the war machine came in: ¡°The whole nest behemoth is shaking, with huge energy fluctuations being transmitted back.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s battle!¡±


    ¡°They are fighting! There¡¯s a strong presence battling inside the nest behemoth.¡± The war machine continued to send back messages.


    In the external command center, the group of Flying Heaven Warriors were stunned, as they clearly understood the situation.


    Li Yuan!!


    He, all by himself, had actually gone straight into the nest behemoth? It was too crazy.


    Even if this nest behemoth had not yet fully matured, its overall combat power was definitely at the Flying Heaven Level, and far stronger than the ape-like Zippa or the bloody serpent Wusihai.


    ¡°Can he win?¡±


    ¡°At least he must come out alive.¡± The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was extremely nervous.


    Having witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying strength, and considering his age, in the eyes of these Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan¡¯s importance definitely far outweighed that of a nest behemoth¡­ He was a future Semi-Divine strong presence.


    In the entire Xia Country, there had only been three Semi-Divines born.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!!¡± In the light screen projection.


    The surface of the grandiose nest behemoth suddenly shook, followed by a thunderous explosion, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, revealing a terrifying bloody hole over a hundred meters in diameter.


    Whoosh!


    A gigantic earthy-yellow energy sphere shot up into the sky.


    Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it wasn¡¯t a sphere¡­ it was a Domain of True Intent formed by countless earthy-yellow air currents.


    Within that surging Domain of True Intent, a shadowy figure holding a long spear could be indistinctly seen.


    He was covered in blood, mixed with large amounts of black substance, looking like a War God who had just emerged from hell.


    Rustle!


    The nest behemoth, which had still been shaking violently, suddenly started to collapse and contract, as if an inflated balloon was rapidly deflating¡­ until it finally returned to calm.


    ¡°Check!¡±


    ¡°Cannot detect the nest behemoth¡¯s main body¡¯s aura, no obstacle in inquiry, Origin Power Array has been breached¡­ 90% probability, the nest behemoth has been breached, its core mother beast has been slain! Repeat, this nest behemoth has been breached!!¡± Messages from the war machine transmitted in astonishment.


    The pilots, as well as the workers, Martial Artists, at the forward base, were all staring at this scene dumbfounded.


    Looking at the silhouette in the void.


    Even many had tears shimmering in their eyes at this moment.


    Meanwhile.


    This voice and the projected image had also been transmitted to the external command center.


    Including Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and the group of Flying Heaven Warriors, were all utterly dumbstruck.


    A single person.


    A Prime Warrior?


    To actually break through a nest behemoth? Even if it was an immature nest behemoth, it was still too exaggerated, too frightening.


    ¡°Mission accomplished, nest behemoth destroyed, core mother beast slain, and Myriad Beasts Blood Source seized.¡±


    ¡°All three confirmed correct.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of weakness: ¡°Requesting return! Please continue inquiry and search with the Flying Heaven War Machines.¡±


    Li Yuan stood in the void, he had already sensed the presence of the Flying Heaven War Machines and discovered that communication had been restored.


    Naturally, he transmitted the message directly.


    This battle, he had given it his all, it was a desperate fight that he had won¡­ but he had also sustained significant injuries.


    He had to return.


    ¡°Agreed!¡±


    ¡°Number one, return immediately.¡± Lin Yue immediately ordered, ¡°Do you want to ride the Flying Heaven War Machine?¡±


    ¡°No need, I will fly back on my own.¡± Li Yuan responded.


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan dissipated the vast Domain of True Intent surrounding him, and immediately following, he shot up into the sky, quickly reaching about three times the speed of sound, flying towards the Star Realm entrance.


    ¡­


    In the Star Realm command center.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Lin Yue and Dean Hai looked at each other, still with deep shock in their eyes, momentarily at a loss for words.


    Normally, facing an immature nest behemoth, they would use a large amount of technological weapons to bombard it¡­ to inflict as much damage as possible, and then send multiple True Intent Prime Warriors to continuously attack from the outside.


    Finally.


    After destroying the power of the nest behemoth by a large margin, they would send the strongest True Intent Prime Warrior in¡­ hoping for a decisive victory.


    But who does it like Li Yuan?


    He went in alone and violently destroyed it in an extremely short amount of time.


    ¡°We won!¡±


    ¡°A nest behemoth, this was most likely the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s grand plan in Rob Sea Star Realm.¡± Lin Yue said softly, ¡°Destroying it, Li Yuan has accomplished a great feat! A great merit!¡±


    ¡°Dean Hai, I will immediately report this to Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡­ to prepare for the commendation! And make a national announcement, this is definitely an unprecedented victory for our Xia Country.¡± Lin Yue stated solemnly.

    Chapter 475: Chapter 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_4


    ¡°I understand,¡± Dean Hai nodded, his eyes sparkled with light.


    He knew the significance of this battle.


    Just killing several Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts was already a great achievement.


    But now, a single battle had destroyed a Mother Nest Lair, which was akin to saving the lives of a million soldiers!


    Most importantly,


    It was achieved by a Prime Warrior.


    ...


    ¡°To have reached this step, Li Yuan¡¯s strength must have surpassed Lude Nef,¡± Dean Hai murmured softly, ¡°He is now the first Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yue first froze, then nodded in agreement, ¡°Right! The first Prime Warrior of the entire civilization.¡±


    With that thought,


    Lin Yue suddenly turned to the several Flying Heaven Warriors, ¡°Gentlemen, I suggest we initiate the SSS lockdown order. We must keep the information about Li Yuan¡¯s identity in this battle confidential.¡±


    ¡°At least, it cannot be leaked in the short term.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡± The Flying Heaven Warriors instantly agreed, also filled with shock.


    Under 20 years old, and he has become the first Prime Warrior of the civilization. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This!


    It was absolutely unprecedented in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even with the vision of these Flying Heaven Warriors, they could imagine¡­ even in a powerful divine civilization like the Immortal Ruins, it would be extremely difficult to produce such an exceptional genius.


    A Demigod?


    No! In the hearts of these Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan surely had the potential to rival Dongfang Ji.


    If this news were to leak¡­ no one could predict how much commotion it would cause. Perhaps many enemy Foreign Civilizations would stop at nothing to assassinate Li Yuan.


    ¡°I need to step out.¡±


    Dean Hai suddenly spoke and then stepped out of the conference room, entering an adjacent secret chamber.


    He quickly activated his smart ring to initiate the encryption communication setting.


    He conveyed the cause and effect of the battle directly to Fang Hai, asking him to make a decision.


    ¡­


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Whoosh! Elden, who had already escaped over six hundred kilometers underground, abruptly came to a halt.


    ¡°Dead?¡±


    ¡°So quickly, the Mother Nest Lair has been destroyed?¡± Elden trembled inwardly, having received the message.


    The Mother Nest Lair had completely collapsed.


    He was unspeakably shocked; in such a short time, the Seven Star Civilization absolutely couldn¡¯t muster enough forces for an assault. There was only one possibility¡­ that mysterious True Intent Prime Warrior.


    By his power alone, he had directly destroyed the Mother Nest Lair.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°His True Intent Comprehension must be among the strongest within the Flying Heaven Peak levels,¡± Elden sighed silently.


    In addition to being shocked, he felt a touch of relief.


    He had bet correctly!


    If he had remained, it would have been certain death. But now¡­ he was still alive.


    ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°To have breached the Mother Nest Lair, he must have reached the limits of a Prime Warrior¡¯s strength,¡± Elden murmured, ¡°The remaining three mature Mother Nest Lairs, he should not be able to breach.¡±


    ¡°With his terrifying strength, he cannot remain at the Prime Warrior level forever. He will inevitably break through¡­ Ten years! No, twenty years!¡±


    ¡°I will stay hidden for the next twenty years.¡±


    ¡°With thousands of kilometers within the Rob Sea Star Realm and the ground extending over a thousand kilometers deep¡­ if I focus on hiding underground, who could find me?¡± Elden thought to himself.


    Whew!


    He continued to flee deeper into the ground, heading for a den he had prepared earlier.


    Meanwhile,


    He directly sent a message to the Demigod Wudong Xue, ¡°Saint Lord, I joined forces with the Mother Nest Lair and fought a great battle against that True Intent Prime Warrior but was still defeated¡­ the Mother Nest Lair is destroyed, and I have escaped with serious injuries. I beg the Saint Lord to provide some healing and life-preserving items.¡±


    ¡­


    The battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm had a colossal impact.


    Many related soldiers and warriors, not knowing Li Yuan¡¯s real identity, were still ordered to keep quiet.


    At the same time, information about the battle was rapidly transmitted to a few Demigods who were qualified to receive the news, shocking them.


    ¡­


    Feixing, a mysterious place hundreds of kilometers away from the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Within a void,


    ¡°Master, Fang Hai is requesting to speak,¡± a deep voice suddenly sounded, ¡°It¡¯s about Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Connect,¡± the vague figure commanded.


    Drip~ The communication was established.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, speak,¡± the indistinct figure said straightforwardly.


    ¡°Reporting to Master,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice was low, ¡°I have just received news that Li Yuan, in the Rob Sea Star Realm, is suspected to have achieved a burst of power combining Earth and Wind True Intents¡­ reaching strength level 33.¡±


    ¡°He can be called the first Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said emphatically, word by word.


    Silence hung in the air!


    After a long while,


    ¡°Command him to return to the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± the nebulous figure finally spoke, ¡°Rest and heal your injuries, then come to see me directly.¡±

 Chapter 476 - 288: The Value of Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero Spirit Gun

    Chapter 476: Chapter 288: The Value of Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero ¡®Spirit Gun


    The core planet of the Cloud Beast Civilization, belonging to the Serpentine Holy Temple of the Demigod Wudong Xue.


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    ¡°Damn Elden! How dared he play me!! Do I look like a fool who understands nothing?¡± The enormous figure of Wudong Xue, covered in crimson scales, roared with rage.


    The roar was so undisguised that it formed terrifying shock waves in the palace corridors, capable of instantly tearing apart any beings below the Entry Rank.


    Thump~


    Thump~ A great number of Second Rank Exotic Beasts inside the palace were already crawling on the ground in extreme terror.


    ...


    Today, in his rage, the Demigod Wudong Xue had already killed several Second Rank Exotic Beasts.


    Extremely ruthless.


    Those palace Exotic Beasts were all aware of the reason, the defeat in the Rob Sea Star Realm was too devastating, even a maternal nest seemed to have been breached¡­ That was a precious treasure exclusive to the entire Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Inside the main hall.


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    Wudong Xue, with his huge eyes slightly reddening, stared fixedly at a distant light screen projection that showed a mysterious Prime Warrior fighting fiercely against a multitude of maternal beasts.


    With every thrust of his spear, a large number of beasts fell, countless killed or wounded, unable to stop his murderous advance.


    Until the end.


    The mysterious Prime Warrior fought his way to the core maternal beast, which only possessed the power at the Second Order Limit. But by relying on the Origin Power Array and the Myriad Beasts Blood Source for enhancement, it unleashed terrifying strength, and with the aid of the common maternal beasts¡­ it suffered the most brutal death.


    However, it also successfully injured Li Yuan.


    With the core maternal beast¡¯s death, the scene came abruptly to an end. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Wudong Xue could entirely imagine the succeeding ¡®plot¡¯; nothing more than the mysterious Prime Warrior seizing the Myriad Beasts Blood Source and then leaving smoothly¡­ This matched the partial information transmitted by Elden.


    But!!


    ¡°Damn Elden, who cowardly fled without joining the battle, allowing the maternal nest to be breached,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s eyes darkened with endless murderous intent, ¡°even has the audacity to claim he was gravely injured and needed precious healing items?¡±


    ¡°The fool, the core maternal beast within the nest could bypass him and contact me directly.¡±


    ¡°He truly deserves to die.¡± Wudong Xue now harbored a killing intent towards Elden.


    Time passed.


    He repeatedly watched the scenes on the light screen projection, especially the terrifying bursts of spear light by that black-clothed human whose cloak fluttered imposingly.


    Indeed powerful!


    Such strength, in a sense, was nearing the limit of a Second Rank Life.


    ¡°At least.¡±


    ¡°In my more than three hundred years of life, within our Cloud Beast Civilization, probably only the Demigod Yun Qing had strength at the Second Rank that could compete with him,¡± Wudong Xue kept his gaze fixed on the black-clothed man.


    The rest? Not one could keep up!


    Like the present Cloud Beast Civilization, amongst the massive number of Second Rank lives¡­ in Wudong Xue¡¯s view, not one held the hope to catch up with this mysterious human Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Who is he, really? Lude Nef? Yu Jinghe? None of them!¡± Wudong Xue shook his head, reflecting silently, ¡°According to the dying core beast¡¯s message, this person uses Spear Technique, seemingly a combination eruption of the Earth and Wind True Intents.¡±


    ¡°A combination of the Mysteries of True Intent?¡±


    ¡°A terrifying genius has emerged within the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Wudong Xue sighed internally, ¡°Still, we¡¯ll wait for the Saint Lord Council¡­ to mobilize the power of the entire civilization for a collective investigation.¡±


    The entire Cloud Beast Civilization was divided and ruled by a number of demigods, with the highest authority being the ¡®Saint Lord Council¡¯. Since no demigod possessed overwhelmingly superior strength, there was no ¡®supreme leader¡¯ in an absolute sense.


    Wudong Xue had already reported the Rob Sea situation to the Saint Lord Council, but calling for a meeting would also take some time.


    He had to wait!


    After a long contemplation.


    ¡°Koens.¡± Wudong Xue spoke in a low voice, resonating through the many palaces.


    Only two seconds passed.


    Whoosh! An Exotic Beast darted into the main hall, respectfully saluted, and was extremely apprehensive within.


    ¡°Tell Elden,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s voice contained not a trace of anger, ¡°that the great contribution he¡¯s made to the Star Civilization will not be forgotten. Healing treasures will be sent to him soon to help his recovery.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, tell him.¡±


    ¡°Once his injuries have healed, he must make sure to hold onto the remaining three maternal nests,¡± Wudong Xue looked at the Exotic Beast.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Your subordinate understands and will relay the message immediately,¡± the Second Rank Exotic Beast named Koens said respectfully, and then departed.


    A flicker of murderous intent passed in Wudong Xue¡¯s eyes.


    Even though it was Elden who lied, falsifying military intelligence¡­ he had no choice but to use him, to fulfill his not-too-excessive demands.


    This made Wudong Xue very displeased.


    Having been a Demigod for so long, it was rare for him to feel this way because of some Second or Third Order Life.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°Saint Lord.¡±


    ¡°Saint Lord.¡± Two huge Flying Serpents, over 30 meters long, slid into the main hall through the corridor, respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Yan Shun, Yan Li,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s gaze fell on the two Flying Serpents, ¡°I do not deceive you, the situation in Rob Sea is perilous, I need you to enter Rob Sea, then¡­ advance to the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    Both Flying Serpents flinched inwardly.


    Ascend to the Flying Heaven Level within the Star Realm? Wouldn¡¯t that mean being trapped in the Rob Sea Star Realm forever?


    ¡°You, as the talents of our Flying Serpent Clan, and I being one of the three ancestors, would I harm you?¡± Wudong Xue stared at them, ¡°Your ascension in the Star Realm might seem to trap you, but you can still make great contributions to the clan¡­ Most importantly, I will certainly train you with all my might.¡±


    Both Flying Serpents remained silent, heads bowed.

    Chapter 477: Chapter 288: The Value of the Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ _2


    ¡°I understand your concerns, afraid that you will never come out?¡± Wudong Xue said in a deep voice, ¡°But the entrance to the Rob Sea Star Realm has been shaking¡­ Clearly, there is a trend to expand into a Third Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Once it breaks through to a Third Level Star Realm, and you complete your mission, you will naturally be able to return.¡±


    The two Flying Serpents remained unmoved in their hearts.


    Changes in the entrance of the Star Realm?


    What Wudong Xue said was correct, judging from the existing signs, the Rob Sea Star Realm would sooner or later become a Third Level Star Realm, but it could be next year or it could be in a hundred years, three hundred years¡­ This had many precedents in the history of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Time passed.


    ...


    Eventually, under the various threats and temptations of Wudong Xue, the Demigod, and after he made significant promises,


    the two Second Rank Flying Serpents, who mastered skills at the ¡®Fifth Stage Perfection,¡¯ finally agreed.


    ¡°Cultivate Yan Shun, Yan Li, until their strength is strong enough,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness, ¡°then directly kill that Elden.¡±


    In his heart, Elden was already doomed to die.


    ¡°Hope.¡±


    ¡°To find out who this mysterious human genius is,¡± Wudong Xue thought to himself.


    This was the real thorn in his side.


    In his view, with such unmatched talent, if allowed to grow unchecked, they might eventually reach the peak level of a Demigod.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    After flying for several hours, Li Yuan finally saw two other figures outside the entrance to the Star Realm.


    ¡°Brother Yan, Luo Chan,¡± Li Yuan flew over like a streak of light.


    In those hours, Li Yuan had already taken several kinds of medicines, and with the amazing recovery ability granted by the powerful Star Meridian¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s condition had greatly improved.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°You broke into the beast nest alone? How did you do it?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan also came up to meet him, looking at Li Yuan as if he were a monster. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It should be known that Li Yuan¡¯s burst of power in killing Wusihai and Zippa had already made them gasp in shock.


    This rate of growth was truly frightening.


    Later, when the two of them were cleaning out other target areas of Second Rank Exotic Beasts and heard this news¡­ both of them were silent for a long time.


    Especially Luo Chan, who went from initial skepticism and slight reluctance to now being completely convinced by Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡°It was just a battle with all my strength.¡±


    ¡°I was worried about potential long nights full of dreams,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°so I directly entered deep into the beast nest. Indeed, I took some risks, but I was confident I could get out unscathed¡­ Fortunately, I succeeded in the end.¡±


    Yan Jing and Luo Chan both nodded involuntarily.


    Li Yuan made it sound easy, but the two of them could imagine the dangers it entailed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s head back,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°The remaining three mature beast nests are out of our reach for now, but with the Flying Heaven level forces of the Cloud Beast Civilization wiped clean¡­ the rest should be left to the ordinary Martial Artists and the military.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, the two of us have also killed over two thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts,¡± Yan Jing nodded in agreement.


    A massive war of great scale.


    As a top-level powerhouse, Li Yuan was the decisive factor in determining victory¡­ but to sustain progress and even for the Seven Star Civilization to eventually occupy the Rob Sea Star Realm,


    relying solely on Li Yuan was far from enough.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and the two others then boarded an inconspicuous flying machine and quietly left the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    They arrived at the command center located outside the Star Realm.


    Inside the grand hall,


    ¡°Let us welcome, the victorious hero,¡± Lin Yue said with a smile as he clapped, looking at the Li Yuan trio who entered the conference room.


    ¡°Triumphant!! Amazing!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you,¡± the other Flying Heaven Warriors all clapped seriously, with great excitement.


    Even one of the burly men¡¯s eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried not long before.


    This scene left Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan feeling inwardly shocked.


    These people, after all, were Flying Heaven Warriors; their emotional expression seemed somewhat unusual, was it necessary to be so excited?


    ¡°Senior Lin, fellow seniors,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ve only done what I should.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, you don¡¯t understand the significance of this battle,¡± Lin Yue said somberly, ¡°If you had just killed a few Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, although we would be happy, we would not have this exaggerated reaction.¡±


    ¡°But!! You breached a beast nest.¡±


    ¡°This is completely different,¡± Lin Yue shook his head with emotion, ¡°I have been here for just over two years, but some of the Flying Heaven Warriors present¡­ have been guarding the entrance to the Rob Sea for over ten years.¡±


    Ten years?


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look at those few Flying Heaven Warriors.


    He hadn¡¯t paid them any attention during his previous visit.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve been guarding this place for eighteen years,¡± a burly man with a somber voice said, his eyes were red.


    Li Yuan looked at him, remembering that his surname was Zhao.


    ¡°I am from the Northern Border Province,¡± General Zhao looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°At that time, I experienced the great turmoil in the Rob Sea, my grandparents, my parents, my uncle¡­ all my relatives were slaughtered by the Exotic Beasts that breached our defenses.¡±


    ¡°Only I was lucky enough to be away at the Martial Arts University in the Central Capital and avoided disaster.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a touch of emotion, and he immediately thought of the Fish Spirit Tide he had once experienced.


    What General Zhao went through was even more cruel.


    Such a heavy blow would be unprecedented for anyone.


    ¡°Later, when the disaster ended, the nation re-established a solid defense line.¡±


    ¡°Since then, I have practiced with insane fervor, not daring to slack for a moment. As a Prime Warrior, I joined the military and specifically requested to enter the most dangerous Rob Sea Star Realm, fighting a large number of Exotic Beasts at the frontline¡­ but we could do nothing about the beast nests.¡±


    ¡°We could only resist passively, time after time.¡±


    ¡°After becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, I applied to guard the entrance,¡± General Zhao said with a low voice, ¡°I swore!¡±


    ¡°Before I die in battle, I absolutely will not allow the Northern Border to suffer a calamity similar to that year¡¯s again.¡±

    Chapter 478: Chapter 288: The Value of the Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ _3


    ¡°I won¡¯t allow the alien race from the Rob Sea Star Realm to set foot on Xia Country¡¯s territory ever again¡­ In the past eighteen years, eight major battles.¡±


    ¡°Twice, exotic beasts reached the edge of the star realm¡¯s entrance.¡±


    ¡°But in these eighteen years, aside from the ten days I once went to Feixing for special training,¡± General Zhao solemnly said, ¡°I, have not taken a single step away from the military camp.¡±


    ¡°I must stay here!!¡±


    ¡°To guard this land.¡± General Zhao said lowly, while Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and a few other Flying Heaven Warriors listened calmly.


    Because they had long known of General Zhao¡¯s deeds.


    ...


    Yet Li Yuan, Yan Jing, Luo Chan, and a few others were all greatly shocked.


    ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization has already seized the initiative.¡± General Zhao revealed a wry smile, ¡°We can only defend, we¡¯re helpless against the three mature brood nests.¡±


    ¡°Every year, a large number of warriors and ordinary soldiers die in the defense battles in the Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Year after year.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no end, those three brood nests continuously spawn a large number of exotic beasts¡­ We can only fight with our lives, wasting abundant resources here.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai, Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, they¡¯ve all tried¡­ all of them failed.¡±


    ¡°Eight years ago, after Lude Nef¡¯s operation failed, I was in despair, I didn¡¯t know how long such a war would continue.¡±


    ¡°Ten years? A hundred years?¡± General Zhao shook his head, his eyes reddened, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid to spend my entire life here.¡±


    ¡°But if this consumption continues, countless warriors, soldiers will die here, it¡¯s like a festering sore on the body of Xia Country, constantly bleeding.¡± He said, looking at Li Yuan with fervent eyes.


    ¡°Until, you appeared.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    ¡°If you hadn¡¯t turned up this time, then the fourth brood nest would have surely matured, and our casualties would have been enormous, numbering in the tens of thousands.¡± General Zhao said solemnly, ¡°But you, you breached it.¡±


    At that moment. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan, including Yan Jing and Luo Chan, finally understood why General Zhao and the other Flying Heaven Warriors were so emotional.


    Lin Yue, he was just the Warrior Commanding General, stationed here for only a short time.


    But the other Flying Heaven Warriors, also military commanders, had more contact with a large number of ordinary soldiers¡­ naturally feeling it more deeply.


    ¡°Most importantly.¡±


    ¡°You are still young, not even 20 years old.¡± General Zhao looked at Li Yuan, ¡°With your age, you probably won¡¯t become a Flying Heaven Warrior so quickly.¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, he still had to pursue the limits of a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Currently, you may not be able to breach a mature brood nest, but when you are stronger, there is definitely hope for the future.¡± General Zhao said earnestly, hope glowing in his eyes, ¡°If you can breach the other three brood nests in the future¡­ that would mean saving millions of lives.¡±


    ¡°Of course, I know that¡¯s extremely difficult, and I don¡¯t expect you to accomplish it.¡±


    ¡°Just your act of destroying that immature brood nest without regard for your safety¡­deserves my thanks.¡± General Zhao said deeply.


    ¡­


    Soon after, Lin Yue, along with Dean Hai, brought the three men to another meeting room.


    ¡°Yan Jing, Luo Chan, the Rob Sea operation has temporarily concluded.¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°The contributions you¡¯ve made will be fully tallied by the Alliance and Xia Country, and they¡¯ll calculate your Seven Stars Points for you.¡±


    Both men nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Additionally, regarding Li Yuan¡¯s matter, you must not disclose it.¡± Lin Yue said seriously.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°We won¡¯t reveal a single bit, we understand the importance.¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan both hastily spoke up.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t disclose about Li Yuan, because in this operation there was no Li Yuan. The one who joined you was a genius from Feixing known by the nickname ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.¡± Lin Yue looked at them, ¡°You only know his nickname ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, adept in using Spear Technique, coming from Feixing, his age should be over 40 years old¡­ but beyond that, you don¡¯t know anything else.¡±


    ¡°Is that clear?¡± Lin Yue asked.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Got it!¡± They were not dull and instantly grasped Lin Yue¡¯s intention.


    After the two men left.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the power you have revealed in this battle can¡¯t be completely concealed, with the methods of the Cloud Beast Civilization, surely they will know quite a bit¡­ they will definitely investigate who you are.¡± Lin Yue said earnestly.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Pretending to be completely ignorant, that would assume the Cloud Beast Civilization is foolish.


    ¡°So.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already reported to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the Alliance Hierarch has personally ordered, the final plan is to create a reclusive genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, to cover up some of your deeds and brilliance.¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°This will eliminate some suspicions targeting you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Sometimes, covering up a matter does not mean suppressing the truth, but creating a bigger event.


    To hide a person, it¡¯s the same.


    If the Seven Star Civilization attempted to cover everything, then Li Yuan might be suspected¡­ after all, how many such talented Prime Warriors who use Spear Technique and have mastered the True Meaning of Earth are there?


    In the entire Seven Star Civilization, how many?


    The only difference is, up to now, aside from this battle, Li Yuan has never exposed his talent in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Of course, such a cover won¡¯t last very long.¡± Dean Hai interjected, ¡°But even if we can hide it for three to five years, or even just half a year, it will be helpful. By then, you¡¯ll have undergone another transformation and grown stronger¡­ At that time, your rise will be unstoppable, and if you¡¯re exposed, those alien civilizations targeting you won¡¯t be able to do anything.¡±


    ¡°It means that for the next while, you¡¯ll have to endure some inconvenience, with many achievements attributed to ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°And we can¡¯t directly award or commend you.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°I understand, it¡¯s no problem,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Rewards?


    News report? But there¡¯s no actual benefit.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Yue suddenly spoke, ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine will be here soon.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a slight shock in his heart.


    ...


    Not even ten seconds passed.


    Whirr~


    An invisible fluctuation swept across, and an elder figure in white already appeared in the conference room.


    ¡°Semi-Divine,¡± Lin Yue and Dean Hai both respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan did the same.


    To countless people of Xia Country, Bai Shan Semi-Divine was akin to a deity.


    His status in the hearts of the people of Xia Country was so special that not even Dongfang Ji could shake it.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities, relax,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, his gaze falling on Li Yuan, ¡°How are your injuries?¡± S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°They¡¯re alright.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the root of the Star Meridian is injured, requiring a long period of quiet recuperation,¡± Li Yuan said.


    During the great battle in the nest of the hive creatures, the expenditure was too great.


    ¡°Hmm, Lin Yue, Hai Yi, step out for a moment, I have something to discuss with Li Yuan,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the two left, leaving only Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine in the conference room.


    ¡°Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°I¡¯ve come to you mainly for four matters,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine revealed with a smile, ¡°The first is to see how you are. You actually possess the talent of the Wind Vein; even Lie Feng Semi-Divine values you highly, and is willing to take you as a disciple¡­ This is indeed beyond my expectations.¡±


    ¡°It seems that initially, both Fang Hai and I misjudged you,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said reflectively.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it myself back then,¡± Li Yuan admitted honestly.


    If it weren¡¯t for the sensation during the Martial God Inheritance¡­ he would have found it challenging to so quickly embark on the combined path of the Mysteries of Earth and Wind.


    ¡°Now, your strength is so formidable that you should be called the number one Prime Warrior in civilization,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    This was within his expectations.


    ¡°The second matter is about the rewards for this mission. The calculation has been done, and it is ten thousand Seven Stars Points,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Are you satisfied with this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    This was, after all, a war in a Second Level Star Realm.


    Like the many Flying Heaven Warriors who desperately complete a mission, they would only reap a few hundred Seven Stars Points.


    To be awarded ten thousand Seven Stars Points at once by the Alliance, that was already quite astonishing.


    It was enough to exchange for a decent Semi Divine Artifact from the Seven Stars Treasure Vault.


    ¡°The third matter,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, apparently with some anticipation, ¡°you should have obtained the Myriad Beasts Blood Source.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance is willing to purchase the Myriad Beasts Blood Source in your hands for twenty thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°And I personally am willing to offer twenty-five thousand Seven Stars Points,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Would you agree?¡±


    ¡°This item is of use to you?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes, its greatest use is to enhance vitality,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said frankly, ¡°The stronger the body, the harder it is to further enhance life vitality, especially.¡±


    ¡°Something like a Fourth Rank treasure, for you Second Rank Prime Warriors, is priceless¡­ but for Semi-Divine beings, the effect is not significant,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine continued, ¡°One Myriad Beasts Blood Source is more valuable than several dozen Fourth Rank treasures combined.¡±


    Li Yuan was astonished inside, was it really that rare?


    ¡°Senior Bai Shan, if you really need it, I can just give it to you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, immediately flipping his palm.


    Rustle~


    A red, head-sized, odd spherical crystal suspended in space, emitting strange fluctuations appeared.


    It was almost a perfect sphere.


    At least to Li Yuan¡¯s perception, he couldn¡¯t detect any imperfections, which was quite an amazing creation.


    Whoosh!


    The Myriad Beasts Blood Source directly floated towards Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t worried about Bai Shan Semi-Divine deceiving him because the information on the Myriad Beasts Blood Source was public¡­ its value may fluctuate, but will not exceed a certain upper limit.


    ¡°I cannot simply accept this for free,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, shaking his head, ¡°You being willing to give it to me is already a great favor.¡±


    ¡°Then still, as I just said, twenty-five thousand Points, you must accept this,¡± Bai Shan continued, ¡°And that includes the reward of ten thousand Seven Stars Points, which I will transfer to you now.¡±


    Swiftly,


    Li Yuan received a notification that his account in the Seven Stars Treasure Vault had an additional thirty-five thousand Points.


    The transaction was complete.


    The mission reward was complete.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about hiding your identity for the time being,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch and I will arrange everything for you. For now, return to the Martial Divine Star Realm to recuperate.¡±


    ¡°After you recover,¡±


    ¡°you can proceed with the application. The Alliance Hierarch wants to see you,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was startled, ¡°Senior Dongfang wants to meet me?¡±


    ¡­


    An hour later, escorted by Dean Hai, Li Yuan quietly began his journey home.


    At the same time,


    In Xia Country, the Star Realm channel,


    ¡°We interrupt with a special news bulletin.¡±


    ¡°Our forces have recently engaged in an unprecedented large-scale battle with an Alien Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm and achieved a decisive victory!¡± the presenter announced solemnly, ¡°In this great battle, the peerless genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ from Feixing, who is a supreme talent whose real name cannot be disclosed¡­ won the final battle.¡±


    ¡°He is a talent on par with Xia Country¡¯s Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°We thank him for his immense contribution to Xia Country and the Seven Star Alliance!¡±

    After the urgent broadcast about the ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    In the capital of Xia Country, inside an extremely special building.


    ¡°Commander, are you sure you want to broadcast it like this?¡± the person in charge of propaganda couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Just like that.¡±


    ¡°The original intention of Bai Shan Semi-Divine was to keep a low profile,¡± the elder with a hint of gray in his hair said softly, ¡°but I think since the entire battle process is already known to the Cloud Beast Civilization, trying to completely conceal it is impossible.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, although we are temporarily hiding the true identity of the Spirit Gun, his deeds, his contributions to Xia Country¡­ should not be completely concealed, it should be made known to the countless citizens of Xia Country.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The identity of the Spirit Gun is being hidden now.¡±


    ¡°But one day, his identity will be revealed, and by then, the world will know what he has done.¡±


    ¡°Heroes can be unnamed.¡±


    ¡°But we should not forget.¡±


    ¡­


    The great battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm was indeed an unprecedented victory.


    Therefore, the massive propaganda effort was not just about using the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± the genius created to cover up the existence of Li Yuan.


    On the other hand.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance, more precisely the leadership of Xia Country, hoped to use the great victory as propaganda to further inspire the fighting spirit of countless people and Martial Artists, bolstering morale.


    After all, the casualties from the ongoing war were indeed substantial.


    Especially the war in the Rob Sea Star Realm, which had caused a severe calamity to Xia Country over decades, with countless deaths, but without being able to truly counterattack.


    Swiftly.


    On all television stations in Xia Country, as well as the virtual network community channels of Blue Star, propaganda about the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± appeared.


    ¡°Heroes unnamed.¡±


    ¡°The Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯s war with the Alien Civilization has lasted for over fifty years, with a recorded loss of one million one hundred sixty thousand soldiers¡­ and the recorded civilian death toll reaching¡­¡± the voice in the video was somber. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The total economic property loss¡­¡± These figures flashed across the screen as the voiceover continued.


    With such overwhelming propaganda, it quickly garnered the attention of billions of people from Xia Country and across Blue Star.


    ¡°Our Seven Star Alliance has always wanted to thoroughly exterminate the Rob Sea¡­¡± Various battle scenes appeared in the propaganda video.


    Countless Exotic Beasts surged like a tide towards each War Fortress.


    Many Martial Artists, wielding weapons, fought the Exotic Beasts in close combat.


    Even a large number of nuclear weapons were used on the battlefield¡­


    Scenes of Flying Heaven Warriors and Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts fighting fiercely¡­ this was from eight years ago when Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, and others infiltrated the Vast Sky of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    The battles were incredibly brutal and manic.


    The most chilling were the massive, seemingly indestructible and invincible Nest Beasts.


    No matter how fiercely the strong Martial Artists among humans attacked, it was difficult to cause even the slightest damage.


    Nearly invincible.


    ¡°Nest Beasts, these are the lairs of the Alien Race¡¯s Exotic Beasts in the Star Realm, giving birth to a continuous stream of Exotic Beasts, enabling them to instigate one war after another,¡± the video explained: ¡°For fifty years, we¡¯ve attacked time and again, but have never succeeded.¡±


    ¡°As long as the three major Nest Beasts aren¡¯t eliminated, the Rob Sea Star Realm will never find peace.¡±


    ¡°If the Rob Sea Star Realm is not at peace, Xia Country¡­¡±


    ¡­


    The numerous battle scenes from the past decades shocked many viewers.


    Many people initially watched the video out of curiosity, but at this moment, all of them were completely silent, deeply aware of the terror of the Alien Race of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t there been any propaganda before?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve been failing all along! How could there be propaganda?¡±


    ¡°No wonder the casualties are so high; the Alien Race is too strong, those dense Exotic Beasts, there must be millions of them!¡±


    ¡°How can one break through a Nest Beast?¡± Millions of comments and barrages flickered across the numerous propaganda videos.


    Flying Heaven Level battles were rarely directly publicized on the virtual network.


    Even knowing the outcome, the propaganda videos still attracted countless people to continue watching.


    ¡­


    In the propaganda video, the scene suddenly shifted, revealing a highly blurred battle scene, the camera shaking.


    It looked very real!


    A figure holding a Long Spear, wrapped in a black Battle Garment, was standing alone, facing three terrifying figures: a Flying Serpent, a huge spider, a monkey¡­


    Many viewers were both excited and shaken.


    Many guessed the identity of the spear-wielding powerhouse.


    ¡°These are all Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.¡± The voiceover in the video said, ¡°The human Martial Artist confronting them is none other than Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°He is merely a Prime Warrior, yet he can move through the Flying Heavens.¡±


    In the video, an intensely fierce battle took place, with the mysterious genius ¡°Spirit Gun¡± powerfully slaying two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts in succession, and then pursuing another.


    Unstoppably powerful.


    ¡­¡±Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s a Prime Warrior, yet he can slay Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts? So strong.¡±


    ¡°He is a peerless genius hailing from Feixing!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is definitely just a nickname; his true identity remains unknown.¡± A large number of comments and barrages flashed by, as countless viewers became completely enthralled.


    If it had been a Flying Heaven Warrior who achieved this, the video would have certainly been exciting but wouldn¡¯t have had such a massive impact.


    In the propaganda, Spirit Gun is merely a Prime Warrior, which gives it a completely different significance.


    After all, in the eyes of countless ordinary people, Flying Heaven Warriors are almost the pinnacle of the entire civilization¡¯s military strength, far surpassing the level of Prime Warriors.


    Accomplishing such a feat against a higher class is indeed unthinkable!


    ¡­


    At the end of the propaganda video.


    ¡°In this great battle.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun eventually led other formidable Martial Artists to jointly break through a newly opened Nest Beast¡­ He is not just the current preeminent Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±

    ¡°Even in the history of our Seven Star Civilization, he can be called the strongest Prime Warrior,¡±


    ¡°A hero without a name.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is just his title! But a hero¡¯s deeds should not be forgotten!¡± the voiceover suddenly became impassioned.


    ¡­Countless people in every country on Blue Star were stirred up, and the propaganda video quickly spread across various planets.


    The name ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ was remembered by billions of people in a very short time.


    There was a heated debate everywhere.


    ...


    ¡°Spirit Gun is too strong,¡±


    ¡°In the past, they said Li Yuan was the first genius of the Seven Stars, but now it seems Spirit Gun is.¡±


    ¡°How old is Li Yuan? It looks like Spirit Gun is already over forty.¡±


    ¡°At least, what Spirit Gun did, that¡¯s what a true strong person should do.¡±


    ¡°The first Prime Warrior of civilization.¡± Countless people admired him immensely, spreading the word voluntarily, and many young people even regarded him as an idol.


    To fly to the heavens and evade the earth, to slay the powerful of the Alien Race.


    It was incredibly domineering.


    ¡­


    ¡°This Spirit Gun is truly formidable,¡± muttered Wan Qinghe, the ¡®Deputy City Lord¡¯ of Jiang City as he watched the promotional video and privately marveled: ¡°I wonder if Li Yuan can ever reach his level in the future.¡±


    ¡°It probably won¡¯t be easy,¡±


    Years had passed, and Wan Qinghe had broken through to become a ¡®Senior Prime Warrior¡¯ and because of many merits during his three-year tenure, he had just been promoted to Deputy City Lord.


    This rate of advancement was beyond the reach of most district lords.


    His greatest merit was ¡®discovering Li Yuan¡¯.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡­¡±


    ¡°Logically, when he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, he should return to Xia Country to take a post,¡± Wan Qinghe thought privately: ¡°Last time I heard from Elder Fei, Li Yuan had become a Prime Warrior?¡±


    Wan Qinghe had not seen Li Yuan for a long time, only occasionally receiving blessing messages during festivals.


    Yet invisibly, both Wan Qinghe and Fei Qian, the City Lord of Jiang City, had received great help because of Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°So impressive.¡±


    ¡°The strongest Prime Warrior?¡± Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, the siblings, were filled with shock in their respective Martial Path classes as they listened to the teacher¡¯s narration and watched the holographic images.


    Li Muhua, in particular, was boiling with excitement.


    Years had passed, and they both had become high school students.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s help, they had access to cultivation conditions that could be called top-notch, and they were growing along a defined path.


    Like Li Muhua, who now had the best Physical Quality in his grade¡¯s ranking. Just finishing freshman year of high school, his cultivation reached the Second Stage¡­ With the college entrance examination two years later, he had every chance of getting into one of the top three global Martial Arts schools.


    ¡­


    The popularity of the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ promotional video also aroused the curiosity of countless people wishing to uncover his real identity.


    But with the order from the higher-ups, it was easily suppressed in the virtual network.


    And those who really knew or guessed Spirit Gun¡¯s true identity, such as the Flying Heaven Warriors and the three ordinary members of the Seven Star Mountain at that time, for instance.


    They all received strict secrecy orders.


    Moreover, most people¡¯s guess was focused on ¡®born in Feixing, older than 40 years¡¯¡­ No one suspected Li Yuan.


    After all, claiming that someone under 20 years old became the number one Prime Warrior in the history of Seven Star Civilization would sound unbelievable to anyone.


    ¡­


    ¡°How did Li Yuan do it?¡± Duanmu Hong, a Mountain Lord in the Martial Divine Star Realm, felt a touch of amazement and sigh: ¡°Not even 20 years old, and so strong?¡±


    Others did not know, and could only speculate.


    But as the Mountain Lord of Seven Star Mountain, he had access to the war mission acceptance records¡­ and regarding the Rob Sea war mission, the only match was Li Yuan.


    And judging from the weapon, the integration of the True Meaning of Earth, it was also very fitting.


    Furthermore, having received the ¡®confidentiality¡¯ order, Duanmu Mountain Lord already had his judgment.


    ¡°Li Yuan must have been injured.¡±


    ¡°He came back three days ago and bought a lot of healing treasures.¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord could look up the list of treasure purchases Li Yuan made in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    This was his privilege as a Mountain Lord.


    ¡­


    Returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm after three days, Li Yuan naturally knew a bit about the commotion in the outside world.


    But he did not pay it much mind.


    It was ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ who became famous throughout the world, what did it have to do with me, Li Yuan?


    ¡°The battle of life and death,¡±


    ¡°Only a blood-spattered trial is the sole standard to gauge skills,¡± Li Yuan silently thought.


    This great battle in the Rob Sea had given him a big shake-up, especially the actual combination of the two great Mysteries of True Intent, which let him truly feel the strength of the combined mysteries of laws.


    To heal his injuries, Li Yuan had bought several Third Rank treasures, spending about 300 Seven Stars Points.


    While healing, Li Yuan was also deducing and refining his Spear Technique.


    ¡°Once I¡¯ve completely digested this battle,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll meet with Senior Dongfang Ji again,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°then go to accept the next Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    The members of Martial Divine Mountain have a cultivation cycle that runs from July of one year to June of the next.


    First Rank Martial God inheritors, within this cultivation period, need only to accept the Martial God Inheritance once, and are not required to go in any specific month.


    ¡°Next,¡±


    ¡°In terms of skills, what I need to do is to take the Mysteries of Wind a step further, transform the True Intent from its embryonic form into the true True Meaning of Wind, and step into the Sixth Stage,¡± Li Yuan silently thought: ¡°Then strive to bring the True Meaning of Earth into the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage.¡±


    ¡­


    As time passed, the Cloud Beast Civilization, which had taken a great loss in Rob Sea, finally convened the ¡®Saint Lord Meeting¡¯.


    A mysterious virtual world.


    One imposing consciousness after another descended, one of which belonged to Wudong Xue, a Demigod.


    As time went on, finally, when the number of descending consciousnesses exceeded a certain threshold,


    ¡°Gentlemen,¡±


    a resonant voice echoed in this mysterious world: ¡°I believe you all know the ¡®subject¡¯ of the meeting, regarding the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ and related combat footage, you should have already seen it, do you have any thoughts?¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Wudong Xue! How precious is the ¡®Myriad Beasts Blood Source¡¯¡­ Our entire civilization can only produce one every five years,¡± a shrill voice rose, ¡°You placed it within a Second Level Star Realm and still couldn¡¯t defend it, you¡¯re simply useless.¡±


    ¡°Councilor, I propose that Wudong Xue be stripped of his qualification for the ¡®Myriad Beasts Blood Source,''¡± the shrill voice said.


    ¡°Hadi!¡± Wudong Xue roared in fury.


    The other demigods watched as though it was a show they had seen many times before; these two demigods had significant conflicts.


    ¡°Silence,¡± came the cold voice imbued with authority, ¡°Do I need to expel both of you?¡±


    ...


    Wudong Xue and the owner of the shrill voice both quieted down. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s councilor ¡®Black Plow Demigod¡¯, though not invincible like Dongfang Ji, could stand out among the nearly one hundred demigods of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡­ His strength was undoubtedly powerful, stronger than most Demi-God Peak Powerhouses.


    If dozens of demigods were to unite against him, Black Plow Demigod would still have to concede.


    But a single or a couple of demigods? Usually, they wouldn¡¯t dare to take a hard stance against him.


    ¡°Does anyone else have thoughts?¡± Black Plow Demigod¡¯s voice was deep, neither happy nor sad.


    ¡°According to the information from the Seven Star Civilization, this ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ is over forty and comes from Feixing,¡± a demigod spoke, ¡°But I¡¯ve looked through many reports from the Seven Star Civilization¡­ and no genius fits the description.¡±


    ¡°With such strength, he shouldn¡¯t have been without a trace in the past.¡±


    ¡°I suspect that this so-called ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ is a fabrication by the Seven Star Civilization to cover up the true identity of this mysterious Prime Warrior,¡± said the demigod.


    ¡°If the identity is a fabrication, who could it be?¡± another demigod spoke up.


    ¡°Could it be the rumored extremely abnormal Li Yuan?¡± a demigod suggested with doubt.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    ¡°How long has Li Yuan been cultivating? If he could realize the True Meaning of Earth, it would already be incredible, let alone mastering the True Meaning of Wind.¡±


    ¡°Right, there are no records of Li Yuan having a talent in the Wind Vein.¡± Many silent demigods spoke up one after another, directly denying the possibility.


    Time passed, and many demigods suggested various possibilities.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I have heard all your thoughts,¡± Black Plow Demigod finally said, ¡°Firstly, about the Rob Sea Star Realm, we must try our best to hold it, as it is an excellent springboard.¡±


    ¡°Wudong Xue, the territory you oversee will be taken over by the civilization council personally. Do you have any objections?¡± Black Plow Demigod looked at Wudong Xue, ¡°The entire council will invest more resources to develop the whole Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    The other demigods also looked over, seeing it as an excellent opportunity to intervene.


    ¡°No objections,¡± said Wudong Xue, looking somewhat unwilling, but inside he was very composed.


    He had expected this.


    The civilization council taking control? Ultimately, it would still be managed by one or two demigods.


    ¡°Alright, it will be managed jointly by you, Hadi, and Yan Tuoluo,¡± Black Plow Demigod suggested his idea.


    Which was unanimously approved by all demigods.


    ¡°For the time being, we don¡¯t have any effective methods to deal with this ¡®Spirit Gun,''¡± Black Plow Demigod spoke softly, ¡°For now, we¡¯ve just activated our intelligence networks to search for his identity and whereabouts¡­ However, the Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization definitely have a chance to kill him.¡±


    ¡°The Tianliang Civilization?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Many demigods wore puzzled expressions.


    They all knew that these two civilizations were also hostile to the Seven Star Civilization, but to actually kill Spirit Gun seemed difficult.


    ¡°The Mingxu Star Realm has just undergone a transformation,¡± Black Plow Demigod slowly said, ¡°I have news¡­ The batch of talented Prime Warriors from the Tianliang Civilization has been almost completely slaughtered by Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°Treasure has emerged.¡±


    ¡°And it has angered the native Flying Heaven forces of the Ruins Star Realm¡­ Tianliang Civilization will likely invite the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization to come,¡± Black Plow Demigod continued, ¡°Then, the Seven Star Civilization will likely send ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ there as well.¡±


    ¡°After all, according to the intelligence we know, this Spirit Gun¡¯s strength could be even stronger than Yu Jinghe¡¯s.¡±


    Many demigods nodded in agreement.


    Tianliang Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization had a vassal relationship¡­ More accurately, the Tianliang Civilization was essentially a derivative civilization from one of the divine domains of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    The two civilizations had a very close relationship.


    This was also one of the main reasons Tianliang Civilization was hostile to the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Wudong Xue.¡± Black Plow Demigod looked over.


    ¡°Councilor.¡±


    ¡°I believe that the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization would be very interested in more detailed information about ¡®Spirit Gun,''¡± Black Plow Demigod said, ¡°How much loss you can recover from them will depend on your own methods, the negotiations with them will be handled by you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Councilor,¡± Wudong Xue replied gravely, feeling slightly better in his heart.


    ¡­


    Time elapsed, the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, as well as several other strong Foreign Civilizations.


    Through various clandestine intelligence networks, they endeavored to uncover the true identity of Spirit Gun, but all without success.


    This was precisely the goal of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s upper echelons.


    To forever conceal it? Impossible! But with Li Yuan¡¯s talent, every six months to a year, his strength was likely to undergo astonishing transformations.


    July 10th.


    Within the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan soared through the sky, following the Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s guidance, he arrived at the majestic palace at the peak of Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡± From afar, Li Yuan already saw the figure in white clothes waiting outside the palace.


    He flew forward and respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted up Li Yuan, he smiled and said, ¡°Being summoned by the Alliance Hierarch is no small matter.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s grace,¡± Li Yuan pretended not to notice the implication in the other¡¯s words.


    Right!


    Li Yuan guessed Duanmu Mountain Master would suspect whether he was Spirit Gun¡­ but Li Yuan would definitely not admit it.

    Guess as you will, I won¡¯t admit to anything anyway.


    ¡°Ha ha, let¡¯s go and meet the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile as he turned to walk towards his own palace.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    ¡°Through my palace, you can go directly to where the Alliance Hierarch is in seclusion. This is a secret,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master chuckled. ¡°Apart from me, only a few exceptional Prime Warriors throughout the generations have known about this.¡±


    Li Yuan understood that only those who were qualified to meet with Dongfang Ji would be privy to this secret.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Following Duanmu Mountain Master, Li Yuan entered the palace. From the outside, the palace looked ancient and majestic, reminiscent of a historical palace, but inside, the decor was quite modern.


    They proceeded to a corridor on one side of a side hall.


    Li Yuan then saw, not far away, a passage shimmering with flowing light, faintly leading to another world.


    This immediately reminded Li Yuan of the pathways to the World within Worlds, the two being very similar.


    ¡°Enter,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master beckoned.


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch is already waiting for you,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said solemnly. ¡°Remember, there¡¯s no need to be overly humble in front of the Alliance Hierarch, but you must not be disrespectful either. Treat him as you would a normal elder.¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you for the reminder, Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡­


    With one step, Li Yuan walked into the light-screen passage, surrounded by flowing luminescence, still feeling as though he was being washed over by flowing water.


    Enveloped by an invisible force, after a long while,


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan gently landed on the ground, looking around.


    It was a rather dim space, and it felt as though he was standing on glass, with a void deeper in and a mist enshrouding the surroundings.


    There was no end in sight.


    And it made Li Yuan cautious about making any rash moves.


    ¡°Where is this? Even my smart ring has lost its signal,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Could this be another space similar to the World within Worlds?¡±


    Suddenly.


    Hum~


    An invisible force enveloped him, carrying Li Yuan forward. The force was so strong and powerful that Li Yuan couldn¡¯t resist it at all.


    Whoosh! After flying only a few hundred meters, Li Yuan gently landed.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice rang out.


    The voice, like thunder on a clear day, made Li Yuan¡¯s spirit tremble.


    Only then did he realize that in the midst of the fog not far away sat a tall, sturdy man with short hair, dressed in black robes. His figure was indistinct, seated cross-legged in the void.


    His face was blurred and indistinguishable, but the invisible presence that he emitted enveloped the area, making Li Yuan hold his breath and his head buzz.


    Rumbling~ Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®vision¡¯ seemed to change, as if all that remained was the silhouette of the man in black robes.


    He was like the very essence of heaven and earth itself.


    In an instant,


    It gave Li Yuan an illusion, like the time he saw the Phantom of the Ancient Torch Divine¡­ but whereas the Ancient Torch Divine was a phantom, the man in black robes before him was real.


    Moreover, Li Yuan also had the strange feeling that even though there were only a few tens of meters between him and the man in black robes, it was as if a layer of space separated them.


    It was all very strange.


    Li Yuan also deeply felt the terror of Dongfang Ji, the sensation he gave far surpassed any demigod Li Yuan had seen.


    Even Lie Feng, as a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse, seemed far inferior to Dongfang Ji in Li Yuan¡¯s senses.


    ¡°`


    After a long while,


    Li Yuan, relying on his strong spiritual power, just barely managed to come back to his senses, then he respectfully performed a salute, ¡°Li Yuan, greets the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Not bad!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai is right, both your spiritual power and willpower are extremely strong.¡± Dongfang Ji finally spoke, his voice low and devoid of any emotion, ¡°Your Visualization Method probably surpasses the ordinary Divine Visualizations.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, unsure how to respond.


    ¡°Everyone has their own encounters.¡±


    ¡°Having your own set of encounters is a good thing.¡± The ethereal voice of Dongfang Ji sounded: ¡°Li Yuan, do you know why I did not oppose your decision to comprehend The Mystery of Wind again?¡±


    ¡°Law Integration?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Correct! And also not correct.¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan calmly, ¡°Law Integration is the goal, but it is not the ultimate goal.¡±


    Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    ¡°The Law of the Great Dao is vast and boundless,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°like your teacher ¡®Lie Feng Semi-Divine,¡¯ like Fang Hai, like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, they have all stepped into the threshold of Laws.¡±


    ¡°Even for Lie Feng Semi-Divine, what he has comprehended is but a drop in the ocean of the Wind Law.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    The more he cultivated, the more he perceived the profound mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, and the more he agreed with Dongfang Ji¡¯s words.


    The heavens and earth are vast, and the operation of Laws indeed difficult to fully comprehend.


    ¡°Attempting to comprehend a single Law of the Great Dao alone is tough,¡± Dongfang Ji explained, ¡°thus, many Demigods and even Divine beings also try to comprehend other Laws of the Great Dao in the hope of gaining insight by analogy¡­ The mysteries of heaven and earth are one whole.¡±


    ¡°The Mystery of different Laws, when come into contact, might provoke new enlightenment within oneself.¡±


    ¡°And even¡ªfusion with each other!¡±


    ¡°The integration of different Laws is very difficult,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°for you, currently, it¡¯s just the Mysteries of True Intent combining, which is relatively easier.¡±


    ¡°However, relative to your age, it¡¯s already quite astonishing,¡± Dongfang Ji continued.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    His own achievements, if not considering age, indeed were not too exaggerated; probably many Demigods could hope to achieve the same.


    ¡°When you began following Lie Feng Semi-Divine in cultivation, I originally just had the thought of ¡®letting you try,''¡± Dongfang Ji indifferently said, ¡°the results proved that you are very suited for this path, achieving considerable success in just one year.¡±


    ¡°The combination of Earth and Wind is also extremely beneficial for sensing the existence of space.¡±


    ¡°My expectation for your future progress,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°is separate advancement of Earth and Wind into the threshold of Laws, and then their integration¡­ you will have the chance to perceive the Mysteries of Space.¡±


    ¡°Then, your path as a Demigod, and even as a Divine, will be exceedingly smooth.¡±


    ¡°You will truly have the hope to surpass me,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s voice was soft, yet it contained expectation.


    Li Yuan, however, was astounded.


    Both Earth and Wind stepping into the threshold of Laws, their integration? The chance to sense the Mysteries of Space?


    But in reality, it seemed as if he had already perceived a hint of Mysteries of Space when he initially combined True Intent.


    ¡°It seems you do not understand,¡± Dongfang Ji said as he sat cross-legged in the void.


    ¡°The operation of heaven and earth contains the ultimate Mystery, the most elusive to contemplate is the Mystery of Time,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke calmly, ¡°Time is taboo, difficult to touch, even Divine beings cannot step into that domain.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Just after Time, comes the Space Law.¡±


    ¡°Space is the origin of all laws, the foundation for the birth of all life and everything in heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Without space, everything would be meaningless.¡±


    ¡°Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder¡­ the Seven Great Laws all originate from the Space Law, yet are distinct from the Space Law,¡± Dongfang Ji continued slowly, ¡°Comprehending a single Law of the Great Dao independently, the further you progress, the harder it becomes.¡±


    ¡°But if one could touch the Mysteries of Space early on, even stepping into the threshold of the Space Law,¡±


    ¡°Using the overall sense of the Space Law to re-deduce the Seven Great Laws, one¡¯s efficiency could increase tenfold, a hundredfold, and one might even break through many bottlenecks with greater ease.¡±


    ¡°This is the greatest significance of Law Integration,¡± Dongfang Ji said.

 Chapter 484 - 290: The Alliance Hierarchs Gifts and Promises (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 484: Chapter 290: The Alliance Hierarch¡¯s Gifts and Promises (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Time passed, with a detailed explanation from Dongfang Ji.


    Li Yuan had come to understand that the Seven Great Laws, namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, could also be called the Seven Fundamental Laws.


    They were the cornerstone of the natural order and the workings of the universe.


    The Seven Fundamental Laws all originated from the vast, endless space, and their relationship with the Space Law was one of mutual dependence.


    ¡°The Seven Fundamental Laws, the Space Law, and even the most mysterious Time Law¡­ The universe is vast; all these laws are inherently unified.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°To comprehend each fundamental law is just to understand one aspect of the universe¡¯s mystery.¡±


    ¡°By grasping just one aspect, trying to deduce the whole from a part, sensing the existence of space is naturally difficult; one must comprehend to a very advanced level.¡±


    ...


    ¡°But if one comprehends two laws¡­ Their combination allows one to sense the existence of space from different aspects, making it easier to comprehend the Space Law in the future.¡±


    ¡°Once the Space Law is deeply understood, it¡¯s like having a foundation for a skyscraper¡­ Starting from space to comprehend the Seven Fundamental Laws will naturally become much easier.¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly, ¡°These two are mutually cyclical, continuously providing positive feedback to each other.¡±


    This was a broad and noble path.


    Only, it was extremely difficult to walk this path.


    Firstly, one needed to have extremely high talent in several laws, and secondly, the process of combining the mysteries of the laws must be flawless.


    Extremely tough!


    Many demigods struggle even to reach the threshold of the mysteries of the universe, let alone simultaneously ponder multiple laws.


    Even for Li Yuan, when combining the two Truth Intent powers, he could sense a trace of space fluctuations¡­ but it was just a trace.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly spoke, ¡°If we go by that, if a person comprehends three laws, or even four laws¡­ Wouldn¡¯t it be even easier to sense the mysteries of space?¡±


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°Theoretically, that is the case,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, ¡°However, you should be able to feel the difficulty of combining the mysteries of the laws by practicing two of them.¡±


    ¡°The more laws you combine, the easier it is to make mistakes¡­ Once the combination of laws goes wrong, it signifies a fundamental misunderstanding of the universe¡¯s mysteries, which is very hard to correct. It might hinder your progress in the laws you¡¯ve studied.¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°It could even affect your perception of space.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded.


    What the Alliance Hierarch said was somewhat similar to what Teacher Lie Feng had mentioned.


    ¡°About your recent battle experience in the Rob Sea Star Realm, I have some understanding. What do you think about it?¡± Dongfang Ji said, his face still indistinct.


    But his voice clearly entered Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Thoughts?¡±


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke gravely, ¡°If possible, once I become stronger, I want to completely eradicate the Alien Race from the entire Rob Sea Star Realm, and even from the many Second Level Star Realms.¡± S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Dongfang Ji couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    That wasn¡¯t his original intention for asking.


    ¡°Why?¡± Dongfang Ji asked without any change in tone, ¡°I¡¯ve read the reports, when you discovered that immature nest creature den, you did not hesitate to kill your way in. Weren¡¯t you worried about dying there?¡±


    ¡°Worried about death?¡± Li Yuan fell silent for a moment, thinking of many people.


    He thought of his uncle, of his late teacher Fan Jin, of Teacher Xu Bo¡­ and also of what General Zhao had said at the headquarters the other day, his eyes nearly brimming with tears.


    All of this had deeply moved Li Yuan¡¯s heart time and again.


    And it had strengthened his resolve time and again.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I too am afraid of dying here.¡±


    ¡°But, I do not wish to see more people die because of this. I feel we shouldn¡¯t continue to delay and wait for future generations to solve these problems,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly, without offering further explanation.


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes flickered slightly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s statement ¡°we shouldn¡¯t wait for future generations to solve these problems¡± struck a chord in his heart.


    Dongfang Ji had thoroughly studied Li Yuan¡¯s past.


    In Dongfang Ji¡¯s view, when Li Yuan was young, he struggled hard mostly for his family and his personal goals.


    But as he grew, the experiences of his uncle, teachers¡­ and the events he lived through were invisibly influencing the formation of Li Yuan¡¯s character.


    Until today.


    Through personal contact and conversations, Dongfang Ji could truly feel something in Li Yuan that was different from the ordinary Martial Path prodigy.


    To have such a will and belief at the age of under 20 was very rare for Li Yuan.


    As Li Yuan thought, so he acted.


    Dongfang Ji was very pleased with Li Yuan and many thoughts flashed through his mind.


    As the supreme leader of the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji had many principles when it came to nurturing the younger generation.


    For example, compared to some prodigies with pure and astonishing talent, he would repeatedly test their character.


    He preferred to cultivate those with slightly less talent but astounding perseverance, strong beliefs, and a genuine desire to protect their civilization.


    Dongfang Ji was quite clear.


    If there were problems with character, focusing too much on cultivating such individuals might end up bringing greater disaster instead.


    To Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan represented someone with both excellent talent and character.


    Even better than Fang Hai had been in his early years.


    ¡°You show extraordinary talent in the Mysteries of Earth, and you have the support of a Supreme Star Technique, but you are somewhat lacking in the Mysteries of Wind,¡± said Dongfang Ji, ¡°Take a look at this item.¡±


    With that, Dongfang Ji flipped his palm.


    In the palm of his hand appeared a token the size of a palm, the token looking blue all over, with what seemed like countless fine patterns etched upon it.


    Hu!


    This strange token flew towards Li Yuan, who immediately reached out to catch it, his thoughts moving to resonate with it as soon as he did.


    Upon this resonance,


    ¡°This token?¡± A trace of surprise flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he became instantly captivated.


    The countless mysterious patterns on the token could actually convey layers upon layers of the wind¡¯s mysteries.


    Crucially, when Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness fully converged upon the token,


    ¡°Boom!¡± All of a sudden, Li Yuan felt his consciousness plunging downward without end.


    It was as if this token contained a miniature world within it, capable of accommodating his consciousness.


    Once consciousness merged, the countless patterns on the token he had observed before clearly became towering walls, with fluctuations of the Wind Law coming from them¡­ mysterious, magical!


    To sense these mysterious fluctuations was too clear.


    These numerous wind fluctuations, although seemingly chaotic at first glance, actually had great regularity and were all part of a whole¡­ Wind is inherently shapeless.


    For a moment, this even caused Li Yuan to become somewhat infatuated, and he unconsciously began to comprehend and cultivate.


    After a while, Li Yuan came back to his senses.


    Concentrating his consciousness, he quickly pulled away from the pull of the token.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch?¡± Holding the token, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What kind of treasure is this token?¡±


    ¡°How do you feel about it?¡± Dongfang Ji asked.


    ¡°A treasure.¡± Li Yuan replied without hesitation, ¡°Definitely a treasure that aids in the comprehension of the wind¡¯s mysteries.¡±


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan even compared this token to the ¡®Map of Myriad Stars¡¯ he possessed.


    Each had its own strengths.


    The Map of Myriad Stars, containing everything, carried the many mysteries of True Intent related to the Earth Vein, which seemed largely unrelated to each other¡­ Li Yuan believed that once he reached the threshold of the Law of Earth, the Map of Myriad Stars would still be of great use.


    And this blue token? It seemed to be of a lower tier, but the countless wind fluctuations were one whole.


    The former was vast and complex, while the latter was small and refined.


    ¡°It is called the ¡®Thousand Illusion Matrix Map¡¯,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said. ¡°I¡¯ve observed your battles. You tend to focus on the ¡®Phantom Body¡¯ approach in the Wind Vein¡­ It should suit you well.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    Suitable for him? Was the Alliance Hierarch intending to give a gift?


    ¡°I have many treasures.¡±


    ¡°But rarely do I give them directly to the younger generation.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Whether it¡¯s for you, for Fang Hai, these disciples, or for my own offspring, it¡¯s the same¡­ This Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, if you¡¯re willing to take it, I can lend it to you for one hundred years of comprehension, but you will need to pay 10,000 points.¡±


    ¡°Are you willing?¡± Dongfang Ji asked, a smile on his face.


    ¡°Willing!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    10,000 points? 100 years? It sounded like a lot, but on average, it was only 100 Seven Stars Points per year.


    How many did Li Yuan have now? 81,000 Seven Stars Points!!


    As for financial wealth, before leaving Rob Sea, he had sold many various items, and his bank balance had long since exceeded a hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    Whether it was Seven Stars Points or Blue Star Coins, for Li Yuan, if it could directly enhance his strength, that was best.


    After all, for Li Yuan at this stage, ordinary weapons and treasures were of very limited use¡­ Powerful weapons and treasures, such as Semi Divine Artifacts, even if he could get them, he couldn¡¯t use them.


    As for those Star Technique Secret Manuals? The one thing Li Yuan didn¡¯t lack was Star Techniques; he had more than he could cultivate even from his two teachers.


    Thus, this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map was highly suitable.


    ¡°Okay, take the item. You can return it to me after a hundred years.¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°I will deduct the 10,000 points directly.¡±


    Deduct directly? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Clearly, the one behind the Seven Stars Treasury with the right to issue and the ultimate authority over ¡®Seven Stars Points¡¯ was none other than Dongfang Ji.


    It was his presence that gave meaning to the Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°By the way.¡±


    ¡°If during your time as Prime Warrior, or in the Flying Heaven Realm, you can fully comprehend this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, then come find me.¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°You will have gains beyond your expectations.¡±


    ¡°Remember, the sooner you comprehend it, the greater the reward.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, sensing that the chance of fully comprehending it during the Prime Warrior stage wasn¡¯t high.


    After all, he had just tried it; those countless wind fluctuations¡­ they probably already far exceeded the threshold of the laws.


    ¡°Your strength has likely not yet reached the limit of Prime Warrior.¡± Dongfang Ji remarked, ¡°If you continue to cultivate¡­ There is hope to complete the great deed you spoke of. If you can clear the many Second Level Star Realms¡­ and contribute to the entire civilization, appropriate rewards will naturally be given to you.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry about having too many Seven Stars Points and not being able to exchange them at the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    ¡°Once you become Flying Heaven Level, Demigod, or even possess a Divine Artifact! For instance, a Divine Artifact Long Spear, if you want it, I can get it for you.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°The condition is that you have enough Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. A Divine Artifact?


    Indeed, he was the Alliance Hierarch, unchallenged as a Demigod!


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Apart from this, the final matter for which I called you here today is about Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s voice became a bit serious, ¡°Perhaps, after some time, you will need to go to Mingxu Star Realm as the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ to participate in battle.¡±

 Chapter 485 - 291: An Opportunity for Wind Vein (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

    Chapter 485: Chapter 291: An Opportunity for Wind Vein (Seeking Monthly Ticket)


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled, ¡°Has there been some great war?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve sent you the related intelligence reports,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Take a look at them first.¡±


    The next second.


    Buzz~


    Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring trembled, and he glanced down to see a file message from an unfamiliar account that contained text and images.


    Is this Senior Dongfang Ji¡¯s account? Li Yuan wondered.


    ...


    ¡°Add me as a friend and agree to receive the file,¡± Dongfang Ji seemed to see Li Yuan¡¯s hesitation. ¡°You can finish reading it here, and then I¡¯ll explain.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He quickly opened the light screen and began examining the details of the file, which contained very detailed intelligence about the Mingxu Star Realm and images of the great war¡­ Many of these details were definitely classified, and even other demi-gods might not be privy to them.


    But clearly, Dongfang Ji now considered Li Yuan absolutely central, and since the upcoming war would involve him, it was natural to inform him about the secrets.


    ¡°Ming Mountain actually contains such secrets? I was previously wondering why Ming Mountain was so majestic; it simply didn¡¯t look like a normal mountain.¡± Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Big Brother Yu is really impressive.¡±


    Li Yuan quickly finished reading.


    ¡°When the Mingxu Star Realm first appeared, I had my suspicions,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke slowly. ¡°I think the Tianliang Civilization and even the Myriad Demons Civilization behind them must have guessed as well since it is, after all, a divine-level civilization. But at that time, it was only a First Level Star Realm¡­ Even if we wanted to take control of it, it was beyond our reach.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help nodding; judging from the information, the strength of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior was far from enough to explore the secrets within Ming Mountain.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Big Brother Yu alone slaughtered six of the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s so-called ¡®Eighteen Saint Heirs,''¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying. ¡°I probably don¡¯t need to rush over there.¡±


    The video information in the file was simple: it showed the scenes of Yu Jinghe leading Wu Manong and others battling against many top geniuses and Flying Heaven Warriors of the Tianliang Civilization.


    The battlefield had extended for hundreds of kilometers!


    In the end, Yu Jinghe unleashed his divine might and brutally slaughtered the Saint Heirs of the Tianliang Civilization.


    The ¡®Second Rank Saint Heirs¡¯ of the Tianliang Civilization, who are at the level of True Intent Prime Warriors, are already comparable to the top geniuses of the Seven Star Mountain.


    Yet these nine Saint Heirs from the Tianliang Civilization teamed up and were utterly defeated by Yu Jinghe alone.


    Li Yuan reckoned that Yu Jinghe¡¯s strength was already no less than Lude Nef¡¯s, and perhaps even stronger.


    ¡°The Tianliang Clan really can¡¯t trouble Yu Jinghe anymore,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded. ¡°But there are two difficulties.¡±


    ¡°First is the local Flying Heaven forces in Ming Mountain; there are many Flying Heaven mid-stage powerhouses, and we can¡¯t shake them in the short run. Even just Yu Jinghe isn¡¯t enough,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Among them, there might even be Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why Bai Shan Semi-Divine hasn¡¯t dared let them delve deep into the exploration, only looking for some entrance traces around the periphery.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help nodding.


    From the various pieces of information, the local forces of the Mingxu Star Realm were indeed alarmingly strong, with Flying Heaven Level beings in abundance, unlike other Second Rank Star Realms or Third Level Star Realms.


    If there were Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising.


    Whether it was the Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization, although they have both sent many top grade Origin Martial Artists of the Fifth Stage to breakthrough to the 30th level in the Mingxu Star Realm, planning to stay there permanently¡­ but with only one year¡¯s time, at most they could only break through to the 31st level¡­ in terms of strength, they were not as good as Yu Jinghe.


    Yu Jinghe¡¯s strength should be close to or on par with the 33rd level.


    Therefore, to this point, both sides are still exploring around the outskirts of Ming Mountain, not daring to go deeper.


    Once they stir up the local Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it would be a nightmare for any side¡¯s forces.


    ¡°If your strength advances further, with the Domain Illusory Body, you can entangle with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse for a while,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°This is the advantage of cultivating two Laws.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    A Second Rank Life contending with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse? Nearly impossible, even he wasn¡¯t confident about it.


    But to just cope, there was hope.


    ¡°Secondly, be careful of the genius Prime Warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Lu Lei, Rolbis?¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    These were two exceptional geniuses affiliated with the Myriad Demons Civilization mentioned in the recent intelligence report.


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization is the divine-level civilization that is second only to the Immortal Ruins Civilization out of those our civilization has directly encountered; it also has many Divine Kingdoms within it¡­ Looking across the entire Dimensional Domain, it is an extremely powerful civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°The ¡®Heaven Wind Divine Kingdom¡¯ established by the Heaven Wind Divine is the mother country of the Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    ¡°The two civilizations are closely linked.¡±


    ¡°If the Tianliang Civilization itself had hope, they might not request help from the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ but now they are hopeless, and they are likely to invite the Myriad Demons Civilization to come,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Among the younger generation of the Myriad Demons Civilization, there are many whose strength is comparable to Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°The strongest we know of from the intelligence we¡¯ve gathered are Lu Lei and Rolbis.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, if you join hands with Yu Jinghe, there is hope of winning,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan reflexively nodded. Perhaps, Alliance Hierarch Dongfang is an invincible demi-god, making many civilizations dare not invade further.


    But overall, the strength of the Seven Star Civilization is not comparable to the many divine-level civilizations.


    Geniuses like Lude Nef take many years for the Seven Star Civilization to produce one.


    But in those divine-level civilizations, each period sees the birth of a large group.


    It¡¯s due to the overall cultivation environment, as well as the population base¡­ with more people, naturally, more geniuses are born.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, what about Lude Nef? Is he not going to the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°He has already broken through to the Flying Heaven Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°It¡¯s just that this news has been kept secret and hasn¡¯t been announced.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized, no wonder there had been no news of Lude Nef for over a year¡ªhe had actually made a breakthrough.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I would like to inquire about the situation of my teacher, ¡®Lie Feng Semi-Divine¡¯,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine purchased the ¡®Myriad Beasts Blood Source¡¯ from me¡­ Is that thing useful to my teacher?¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine also owed a great debt of gratitude to Li Yuan.


    If the other party wanted it, it was naturally hard for Li Yuan to refuse.


    ¡°Useless!¡±


    ¡°Longevity is an iron rule of the heavens and earth¡¯s law, nearly impossible to break,¡± Dongfang Ji slightly shook his head, ¡°For a demigod, a thousand years of life is the limit¡­ All external objects simply prevent the body from aging further, but when it¡¯s time to die, one must die, all the same.¡±


    ¡°Your teacher¡­¡± Dongfang Ji pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°He¡¯s no longer in the Seven Star Civilization, he has left.¡±


    Left? So soon? Li Yuan was startled.


    By his reckoning, it hadn¡¯t been long since he and his teacher had parted ways.


    ¡°Your teacher is a demi-god peak powerhouse, nearing the end of his lifespan, it¡¯s natural for him to take a gamble,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°There are matters that are of no benefit for you to know now. When someday you possess strength at the Flying Heaven Level comparable to that of a demigod, then you will be qualified to know the core secrets of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, subconsciously thinking of the ¡®Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯ that Master Lie Feng had mentioned.


    Could it be, had his teacher gone there again?


    ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it.¡±


    ¡°What you need to do now is to continue strengthening your power.¡±


    ¡°You continue your concealed cultivation in the Martial Divine Star Realm for now, and if you¡¯re required to travel to the Mingxu Star Realm, I will send word to you,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°If there¡¯s anything in your cultivation that the Seven Stars Points cannot solve¡­ send word to Duanmu Hong.¡±


    ¡°If it still can¡¯t be resolved, then come find me,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Thank you, Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    Li Yuan understood, he had gained another special privilege¡ªdirect access to Dongfang Ji.


    Across the Seven Star Civilization, most likely, the majority of Flying Heaven Warriors didn¡¯t have this kind of permission.


    Before long,


    Li Yuan returned to the Martial Divine Star Realm through the same passage he had come by.


    ¡°Master, that ¡®Thousand Illusion Token¡¯ is one of the three great tokens of the Wind Vein,¡± a deep voice sounded in the void space, ¡°In the past, when Snow Dragon Semi-Divine was at the Flying Heaven Level, you didn¡¯t even bestow it upon him.¡±


    ¡°Even with the aid of Divine Spirit Liquid and Lie Feng¡¯s guidance, to be able to condense the embryo of True Intent from the Wind¡¯s Mystery in such a short time,¡± Dongfang Ji said calmly, ¡°is enough to prove his talent in the Wind Vein.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s try!¡± S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°There¡¯s only one token for the Earth Vein, which has been given to the predecessor Bai Shan¡­ Li Yuan, only by making great achievements in the Wind Vein, does he have a chance.¡±


    ¡­


    Upon returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm, Duanmu Mountain Master did not probe further but allowed Li Yuan to depart, and Li Yuan returned to his own villa estate.


    The underground martial arts room.


    ¡°Drip~¡±


    As soon as Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, he felt his smart ring vibrate; he glanced at the caller and immediately answered.


    A holographic projection formed.


    ¡°Dean,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    The caller was none other than Fang Hai, clad in black, sitting within the quiet chamber of a flying vessel.


    ¡°Duanmu Mountain Master mentioned you¡¯ve just met with the Alliance Hierarch?¡± Fang Hai got straight to the point.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Makes sense. You¡¯ve become the number one Prime Warrior of our civilization; it¡¯s normal for the Alliance Hierarch to summon you,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was not surprised that Dean Hai knew this, and the dean was Dean Hai¡¯s immediate superior¡­


    ¡°Did the Alliance Hierarch give you a token? One that can be exchanged for a hundred years of usage rights with ten thousand points?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s mouth suddenly showed a hint of a mysterious smile.


    Li Yuan was startled and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Dean, how do you know?¡±


    Fang Hai laughed.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about how I know,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression turned serious, ¡°I am just reminding you that this is a rare opportunity for you. In the eyes of the Alliance Hierarch¡­ you are already a vital member of the core circle of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Li Yuan was shaken.


    If someone else had said this, perhaps they would have been buttering him up, but coming from Fang Hai, the meaning was entirely different.


    Fang Hai had no need to deceive him.


    ¡°Whatever the Alliance Hierarch has tasked you with, do your best,¡± Fang Hai said in a low voice, ¡°I can¡¯t say more, but all I can tell you is¡­ the things that the Alliance Hierarch has kept hidden are ten times, a hundred times more powerful than you can possibly imagine!¡±


    ¡°Since the Alliance Hierarch values you and has expectations for you, then go all out in your efforts, you won¡¯t be wrong,¡± he added.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    The Alliance Hierarch, that powerful?


    Soon after, Fang Hai ended the communication, but Li Yuan¡¯s heart remained unsettled for a long time.


    ¡°Thousand Illusion Formation?¡± Li Yuan flipped his palm to look at the token, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch said, to come find him once I¡¯ve comprehended all the Mystery contained in the token?¡±


    ¡°Strive on!¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll meditate on it for a while, then I¡¯ll go to receive this year¡¯s Martial God Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan concentrated with a calm spirit, integrating his consciousness into the token.

    Chapter 486: Chapter 292: Martial God Inheritance! Seventh Layer Star Vein (Additional Chapter 17, 18)


    Consciousness descends.


    ¡°This Thousand Illusion Array is really profound,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness descended into the token, sensing it carefully.


    This time, the sensing and comprehension.


    was even more meticulous than not long ago in front of Dongfang Ji, deepening Li Yuan¡¯s understanding.


    ¡°Waves of wind fluctuations, seemingly invisible and scattered, are in fact from the same origin,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    ...


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness roamed through the array like a labyrinth.


    Endless fierce winds howled, buffeting Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness and fully revealing the Mysteries of Wind before him.


    ¡°There are many paths to follow within the Wind Law,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Those who are good at extreme speed, when cultivated to profound levels, can almost merge into space, finding those wind fluctuations that best fit themselves, becoming unmatched in speed¡­almost impossible for anyone to catch up.¡±


    ¡°Good at Stealth¡­¡±


    ¡°Good at Phantom Body, when cultivated to profound levels, can be reflected everywhere, almost omnipresent,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°The path I am comprehending is indeed the Phantom Body lineage.¡±


    Every Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything, containing infinite possibilities.


    Most powerhouses try to follow one direction, and upon comprehending profound levels, gradually attempt to understand other paths¡­ until one day, they completely penetrate an entire Law of the Great Dao.


    ¡°The cultivation of the Great Dao is extremely arduous.¡±


    ¡°Stepping into the threshold of the Law gives hope of becoming a Divine Being,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly, ¡°I haven¡¯t even truly condensed the True Meaning of Wind¡­ Penetrating the entire Law of the Great Dao? It¡¯s too far off.¡±


    He calmed his mind.


    With undivided attention, Li Yuan earnestly contemplated, while combining memories from the first Martial God Inheritance, cross-referencing each other.


    ¡­After two full days.


    ¡°Illusion!¡±


    ¡°This Thousand Illusion Array contains a whole one thousand streams of wind fluctuations,¡± Li Yuan had initially unraveled the token¡¯s mystery, ¡°These one thousand mysterious streams, interconnected and combined, are like a huge battle array formed by one thousand phantom bodies.¡±


    When he realized this, Li Yuan was extremely shocked.


    He immediately understood.


    If he could completely comprehend the Thousand Illusion Array, he could form a thousand phantom bodies in a thought.


    Just the thought of it left Li Yuan in awe.


    You should know that these phantom bodies are not mere virtual projections but real manifestations of the Wind Fluctuations, reflecting in all directions of the void, each containing a certain strength.


    Inundating the sky with attacks.


    Just the thought of it is frightening.


    ¡°According to Senior Dongfang Ji¡¯s meaning, reaching this level at my Flying Heaven Level is considered a success?¡± Li Yuan pondered to himself, ¡°Right, now I can only condense four phantom bodies, the gap is too big.¡±


    Li Yuan was not discouraged.


    Sky-scrapers rise from the ground, step by step.


    ¡°These Mysteries of Wind, they combine in such a way.¡±


    ¡°Oh! They can still be utilized like this¡­¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Li Yuan immersed himself, doing his utmost to comprehend.


    Continuously deducing the Mysteries of Wind can also be exhausting.


    Therefore, Li Yuan would spend half his time comprehending the Mysteries of Earth as well.


    Additionally, he would practice his Spear Technique for two hours a day, striving to further integrate the Mysteries of the True Intent of Earth and Wind.


    The practice was very structured. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As for Origin Power cultivation? Li Yuan¡¯s Physical Quality had long reached 29.9 rank, already being at its peak¡­ Without trying to condense an Origin Pill in the Sea of Source Energy, it was almost impossible to further improve his Physical Quality.


    Of course, Li Yuan would still practice the Visualization Method every day, and though the level of spiritual power improved slowly, it steadily approached level 37.


    Every two to three days, he would also continue to try awakening more Life Stars.


    ¡°The second Star Meridian, the number of awakened Life Stars has exceeded 76,000,¡± Li Yuan thought with great anticipation, ¡°The awakening of the Seventh Layer Star Vein is not far off.¡±


    A Star Meridian, when the number of awakened Life Stars reaches 77,760, is known as the Seventh Layer Star Vein.


    Then he could attempt to cultivate the Great Earth Divine Body.


    By then, Li Yuan¡¯s strength could surely surge dramatically.


    ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, July 18th arrived, and Li Yuan leapt down from the Martial Divine Mountain and came to the Martial Divine Hall that stood tall on the central great land.


    In fact, Li Yuan had applied for the ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ a few days earlier, but with limited quotas available each day and July being the peak month for members of the Martial Divine Hall to receive inheritances,


    he had no choice but to queue up and wait until today.


    The majestic and simple palace.


    The hall opened, and Li Yuan saw at a glance the Divine Pillar in the palace, making his way to the end of the hall with ease.


    ¡°First Rank Martial God Inheritor Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Do not resist, follow the sensation, and display your Spear Technique to the fullest¡­¡±


    Whoosh!


    Invisible fluctuations swept past, and just like last year, Li Yuan, holding the Black Chen Spear, began to display his Spear Technique, with radiant Spear Light flickering.


    At the same time.


    As the power of the Spear Technique erupted, hum~ hum~ silently, strands of invisible Earth energy emerged, followed by phantoms appearing one after another.


    At first glance, it was as if within a powerful Domain, many Li Yuans were displaying their Spear Technique simultaneously in the hall.


    It was quite eerie.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Skilled in Spear Technique, combined with the True Meaning of Earth and Wind¡­ skilled in Domains, Phantom Body¡­ extremely high talent,¡± a cold voice resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Expanding the search for the Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Inheritance locked.¡±


    ¡°Mark sensation target, an unknown Fifth Order Divine Being, skilled in Sword Technique, proficient in the Domain of Earth, Phantom Body of Wind, cultivating dual laws¡­¡±


    ¡°Inheritance begins.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a speck of light fell from the sky above the temple, flying directly onto Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was led, immediately becoming engrossed, and then completely captivated.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, Li Yuan returned to his villa mansion.

    Underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°It¡¯s truly magical.¡±


    ¡°Earth and Wind, two great Mysteries, can actually combine like this and form such a Domain Illusory Body. It¡¯s incredibly profound,¡± Li Yuan excitedly thought.


    Even though the inheritance had ended, he was still filled with shock.


    The second Martial God Inheritance was so much more effective than the first¡­


    Although the Divine Being in the Consciousness Resonance did not use Spear Technique, for Li Yuan at this level, the weapon was not the main concern. What he primarily sensed was the profundity within.


    ...


    Apart from the mismatch in weapons, every other aspect was much better compared to the first time.


    ¡°During the first Martial God Inheritance, I had not yet condensed the True Meaning of Earth, and the Mystery of Wind was even less mastered. No matter how clear the resonance, understanding was very difficult,¡± Li Yuan secretly thought. ¡°But this time?¡±


    Consciousness Resonance, Divine Being Inheritance, cannot directly enhance the skill level of the Inheritor.


    One must have enough deep comprehension and enough doubts to achieve the greatest effect.


    Over the past year of cultivation, Li Yuan made great progress in both the Earth Vein and the Wind Vein.


    Great progress often means more doubts.


    Especially for the Wind Vein, since condensing the embryonic form of the True Intent, Li Yuan had been trying to truly condense the True Intent and step into the threshold of Sixth Stage¡­ but was unable to break through.


    ¡°My talent in the Wind Vein is not bad, but it¡¯s far from comparable to the Earth Vein,¡± Li Yuan was very clear on this: ¡°For the Earth Vein, it took just a few months to go from the initial Fifth Stage to condensing the True Intent, and that was without the aid of Divine Spirit Liquid, and my spiritual power wasn¡¯t that strong initially.¡±


    ¡°In normal circumstances, for someone like Bertman, it¡¯s already extremely fast to go from the embryonic form to condensing the True Intent in a little over a year,¡± Li Yuan secretly thought. ¡°Under normal circumstances, it would take me at least half a year to have a chance at condensing the True Intent.¡±


    In the cultivation of skills, there is something known as an epiphany.


    But the so-called epiphany requires day after day of accumulation. Only with sufficient accumulation can there be a breakthrough.


    ¡°And now.¡±


    ¡°With the Thousand Illusion Array Chart.¡±


    ¡°Combined with this Martial God Inheritance¡¯s guidance,¡± Li Yuan was immensely overjoyed, ¡°my comprehension of the fluctuations in the Mystery of Wind will increase much faster.¡±


    For the cultivation of his skills moving forward, Li Yuan became even clearer on what he had to do.


    ¡°Seclusion!¡±


    ¡°For the next period, unless the Mingxu Star Realm breaks out into a huge battle and the Mountain Lord summons me, I will see no one,¡± Li Yuan suddenly declared loudly.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the support AI respectfully responded.


    Li Yuan began a new round of secluded cultivation, trying to condense the True Meaning of Wind in one effort.


    At the very least, he had to maximize his cultivation efficiency while the effects of the Martial God Inheritance were still fresh.


    ¡­


    Martial Divine Star Realm.


    In the only tavern.


    A large group of geniuses from the Martial Divine Hall were gathered here.


    ¡°Damn! Li Yuan is unreachable again?¡± Dantai Feng looked at the reminder on his AI bracelet: ¡°This year¡¯s newcomers from Blue Star can¡¯t even spare a single day?¡±


    Many geniuses from the Martial Divine Hall had accepted Dantai Feng¡¯s invitation today¡ªTian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, Yin He, and others had come¡­ Perhaps when they first entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, they were somewhat strangers to each other.


    But as time passed,


    the many geniuses also began to band together. All coming from Blue Star and sharing the bond of ¡®fellow year¡¯, their relationships generally grew better and better.


    ¡°This guy doesn¡¯t come, and neither do Lin Lanyue and Alicia,¡± Dantai Feng felt a headache coming on: ¡°Sigh, each one is a cultivation maniac.¡±


    ¡°As if you don¡¯t work hard in cultivation,¡± Tian Dazhuang glanced at him: ¡°In the past few months when I tried contacting you, wasn¡¯t it impossible to reach you too?¡±


    ¡°Dazhuang, don¡¯t always bring me down,¡± Dantai Feng glared.


    Suddenly, S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yan Jing Senior Brother has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Yan Jing.¡± The group of geniuses in the room all stood up, welcoming the newly arrived Yan Jing.


    Perhaps many of them had talents no less than Yan Jing¡¯s. For instance, Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang were outstanding choices. Although they were young, their skills were already approaching Fifth Stage High Rank.


    But!


    Untapped talent is just talent¡­ while Yan Jing was truly powerful.


    A top genius from Seven Star Mountain, a True Intent Prime Warrior, was enough to command respect from anyone.


    ¡°Please, have a seat,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile, knowing Dantai Feng¡¯s strength and background.


    He naturally came because he was invited.


    In Yan Jing¡¯s plan for cultivation, he intended to return to Xia Country for an official position in the future, so it was natural to build a good relationship with this group of ¡®Hall friends.¡¯


    As time passed, the banquet gradually came to an end.


    ¡°Big Brother Yan,¡± someone casually said: ¡°I heard about the big battle in the Rob Sea a while ago, the one where the Spirit Gun broke into the matriarchal nest. Were you part of the battle?¡±


    Yan Jing, who had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly tensed up inside but maintained a calm exterior and smiled: ¡°Trick, you just joined the Martial Divine Hall this year, right? Where did you hear about it?¡±


    This banquet was initially meant to welcome the nine young geniuses from Blue Star who had arrived this year.


    ¡°I heard about it,¡± the blonde-haired Trick said with a smile.


    ¡°I indeed participated,¡± Yan Jing chuckled.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Trick¡¯s eyes brightened, seemingly curious: ¡°Big Brother Yan, then do you know who Spirit Gun is? Who is he?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°Big Brother Yan, you also participated in the Rob Sea battle?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, who exactly is Spirit Gun?¡± The group, who had been casually chatting, started to look curiously at Yan Jing.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡±


    ¡°The battlefield I was responsible for was completely different, I never saw Spirit Gun the whole time,¡± Yan Jing shook his head: ¡°But I heard from other Flying Heaven Warriors that Spirit Gun seemed to be quite old, always striving to awaken more Star Meridians, which is why he hasn¡¯t broken through.¡±


    One part truth, nine parts fiction.


    This was the response Yan Jing had planned ever since he received the order to keep things secret.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Yan Jing deliberately lingered behind.

    ¡°`


    He watched Trick leave.


    ¡°Did that guy just casually ask, or was he deliberately testing me?¡± Yan Jing frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.


    Orders had been given long ago.


    Their operations in Rob Sea were confidential and generally unknown to the public.


    Even someone with a massive background like Dantai Feng was unaware.


    ...


    Trick, a newcomer who had just joined the Martial Divine Star Realm, how did he know?


    ¡°Report it.¡±


    ¡°If he learned of it inadvertently, it won¡¯t affect him,¡± Yan Jing¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, ¡°But if he¡¯s a spy?¡±


    Yan Jing was very concerned about Li Yuan¡¯s safety.


    Firstly, in the battle at Rob Sea Star Realm, Li Yuan had turned back to face the enemy alone, which deeply moved Yan Jing. In a sense, it was like saving his life.


    Secondly, from the moment he fully recognized Li Yuan¡¯s talents and strength, he was clear on one thing: if he wanted to establish a foothold in the higher echelons of Starfire Martial Hall or Xia Country, then Li Yuan could very well become his biggest support.


    Unlike other Demigods? Not so closely related.


    ¡­


    Not long after.


    ¡°Re-investigate Trick.¡± An order came from the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall, ¡°Check his entire network of relationships, family member information, and review all traces of him in the virtual network over the past ten years.¡±


    ¡°All day long, within the Martial Divine Star Realm, monitor him secretly for 24 hours.¡±


    Such scrutiny required mobilizing a large amount of resources and collaborative efforts from many departments.


    Normally, Starfire Martial Hall members would undergo various checks before they entered the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    But it was very rare to monitor them 24/7 after they had entered.


    After all, if such actions were to leak, it would cause great dissatisfaction and resentment among all the genius members of the Martial Hall.


    People have secrets.


    People have a need for privacy.


    Nobody wants to be monitored 24 hours a day.


    That¡¯s how criminals are treated.


    But when it involves ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ and even more so the foremost genius in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, everyone from top to bottom dares not be careless.


    Just three days later.


    ¡°Trick is not the problem.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s his university professor, a top-grade Prime Warrior who is the spy! Secretly dealing with Tianliang Civilization¡­ Proceed with immediate arrest.¡±


    ¡°He used Trick¡¯s identity as a member of Martial Hall to attempt uncovering the true identity and whereabouts of ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.¡± With expansive resources deployed and comprehensive surveillance, they finally found a trace.


    And this!


    Was just the tip of the iceberg regarding the Alien Race¡¯s efforts to probe the true identity and whereabouts of ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, and only a minority were caught. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ¡­


    At Seven Star Mountain.


    Days passed by.


    Unaware of the turmoil outside, Li Yuan was engrossed in his concealed cultivation, wholeheartedly contemplating the Mysteries of Wind and Earth.


    Whether it was the Wind Vein or the Earth Vein, Li Yuan was steadily improving, and he was getting closer to breaking through his bottleneck.


    The Visualization Method, the awakening of the Life Star¡­ all were progressing in an orderly fashion.


    This is the magic of time.


    Li Yuan had no more sudden insights.


    But with time grinding on, his overall strength was steadily increasing, slowly but very stable.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already August 2nd.


    On this day.


    After two hours of practicing Spear Technique, Li Yuan once again began to awaken his Life Star.


    Inside Li Yuan.


    That vast and somewhat gloomy star space of destiny.


    ¡°Tzz~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power split into threads of thought, following the invisible fluctuations along the star meridians, sensing each star, and constantly trying to awaken them.


    It was exceedingly slow, and occasionally he would fail!


    The unawakened Life Stars were after all in the minority, with most being dormant Dead Stars. Each failure took a toll on his body and spirit, so Li Yuan was very cautious.


    Suddenly¡ª¡ª


    Another Life Star awakened, and the moment it did, it made a subtle connection with another Life Star not far away.


    Hum~ Hum~ The Life Stars connected to each other, and in an instant, this invisible fluctuation had traversed across most of the star space of destiny.


    Causing that particularly brilliant star meridian to suddenly tremble, followed by a transformation of the meridian, making it even more dazzling.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan was at first stunned, then a surge of joy welled up: ¡°Seventh Layer Star Vein!!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve achieved it.¡± A sense of accomplishment arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    The first star meridian was the Perfect Star Vein, which was activated with the first Spiritual Guidance of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with Li Yuan playing a minimal part, being mostly passive.


    But the following four star meridians were awakened by Li Yuan himself.


    Reaching the ¡®Seventh Layer Star Vein¡¯ level with the second star meridian was an especially joyous occasion.


    The Fifth Layer Star Veins and Seventh Layer Star Veins are both crucial.


    When he initially awakened the Fifth Layer Star Veins, practicing the Star Technique greatly increased Li Yuan¡¯s strength, allowing him to easily handle the so-called demigod-level genius when the Immortals Ruins Civilization descended in the World within Worlds.


    ¡°With the Seventh Layer Star Vein, I can begin cultivating ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.¡± Li Yuan looked forward expectantly.


    ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± was just a Fifth Layer Star Technique, and it allowed Li Yuan to dominate among Prime Warriors and contend with ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± is a Seven Stars Technique.


    ¡°The ¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body¡¯, the most famous star technique cultivated by the invincible Dongfang Ji among the Demigods,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body¡¯ is equivalent to ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.¡±


    From this, one can imagine the power of this star technique ¨C even among demigods, it¡¯s extremely powerful.


    For Origin Martial Artists and Flying Heaven Warriors, it is certainly a diminisher, one of the absolute top-tier techniques.

    ¡°The battle at Mingxu Star Realm is imminent,¡± Li Yuan had perused the information on the Mingxu Star Realm and was well aware of what it entailed.


    Even if the top talents from the Myriad Demons Civilization did not come, he would have to go sooner or later.


    If it was merely a breakthrough in skill, even if he could achieve the True Meaning of Wind and True Meaning of Earth to the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage, Li Yuan didn¡¯t have much confidence to spar with the native Flying Heaven Peak experts of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    The basic difference was too great.


    ¡°By cultivating the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, once deployed, it will boost my foundational strength tremendously, enough to truly match a Level 30 or even 31 warrior in the Flying Heaven Realm under the state of Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan contemplated. ¡°Only then, do I have a chance at contending with Flying Heaven Peak warriors.¡±


    Skill is important.


    ...


    But foundational strength is also important.


    ¡­


    He temporarily set aside other facets of cultivation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start!¡±


    With a wave of his hand, a series of items radiating strange fluctuations levitated around him, including the Five Elements Divine Crystals and many Third Rank treasures as well as Fourth Rank ones.


    All manner of treasures were present.


    ¡°Initially, when I assisted the Boundary Spirit, it prepared the Five Elements Divine Crystals for me to cultivate the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, which are the primary treasures,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°I also spent 8,600 Points at the Seven Stars Treasure Vault to purchase the rest¡­ no need to buy and collect them again.¡±


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate.


    Especially Body Refining Star Techniques, which aim for an all-around evolution of the body, have always been among the hardest to practice, with the most stringent requirements.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    Upon a thought, the might of True Intent combined with spiritual power swiftly began absorbing the essence of the rare and precious treasures surrounding him per the cultivation methods of the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.


    For those with less skillful techniques, cultivating such a powerful Star Technique at the Prime Warrior stage might require assistance from a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    But Li Yuan needed no such help. His realm was lofty enough.


    Before long.


    Whoosh~ Surrounded by a massive array of treasures, streams of essence gradually began to merge into Li Yuan¡¯s body, inducing myriad miraculous changes.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~


    The Seventh Layer Star Vein within Li Yuan suddenly shone brilliantly, its presence felt more clearly than ever, and due to the absorption of various odd energies, countless Life Stars were invigorated.


    ¡°No time to waste!¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his heart and began inscribing the First Rank Star Marks of the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ upon the Star Vein.


    He rebranded the Star Marks on each Life Star with relative ease.


    It would be more accurate to say he was ¡®adding¡¯ rather than rebranding.


    Normally, to practice a new Star Technique, one must erase all the Star Marks on a Star Meridian and return to the origin¡­ a process excruciatingly painful.


    However, Star Techniques like the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯, ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, and ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, which are part of the same lineage, only become more complex based on the original marks, enhancing their power.


    Hence, in a way, cultivating the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ first was lessening the difficulty of cultivating the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    As time passed, with each Life Star¡¯s Star Marks undergoing changes.


    Tiny but profound transformations happened in Li Yuan¡¯s body, a fundamental enhancement of life¡­ continually absorbing the essence of many extraordinary treasures.


    ¡°Normally, once one reaches 29.9 in Physical Quality, there can be no further improvement. But through the cultivation of Star Technique, it can leapfrog, drawing ever closer to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The difference between 29.9 and 30 was like heaven and earth, vastly different at the base physical level.


    ¡­


    Even with the foundation of the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ and a wealth of treasured items at the ready.


    And though both skill and spiritual power were sufficiently high.


    Li Yuan still took a full nine days to finally cultivate the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, Second Order Limit, is a 14th Rank Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, feeling the surging power within his body.


    Boom! Boom!


    Without using a Star Technique, a random punch carried millions of pounds of force, making the air explode violently.


    Once a Star Technique was deployed, revealing the full might of the Divine Body¡­ that¡¯s when it becomes a true weapon that can prevail across different ranks.


    ¡°My Physical Quality has improved even further.¡±


    ¡°I wonder if I can now cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯,¡± Li Yuan suddenly pondered.

 Chapter 490 - 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 490: Chapter 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Although he had gained many inheritances and cultivated a multitude of Star Techniques, deep in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, what he always regarded as the most important was the Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡±.


    This was a Supreme Star Technique.


    It enhanced one¡¯s affinity with the Law of Earth, greatly increasing the efficiency of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.


    Skill is the foundation.


    In a short period of time, Li Yuan had advanced his understanding of the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth to near the Intermediate Rank¡­ The contribution of this Supreme Star Technique was indispensable.


    And yet, Li Yuan had only cultivated it to the First Order Limit.


    ...


    In fact, over the past year, Li Yuan would use the Earth Origin Crystal every now and then in an attempt to imprint the Second Order Star Mark on his Perfect Star Vein¡­ but failed time and time again.


    ¡°My attainment in the Earth Vein is high enough, and my understanding of the Second Order Star Marks is sufficiently profound. With just a thought, I can condense the Star Marks in the void,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°When it comes to auxiliary cultivation materials, the Earth Origin Crystal is certainly enough.¡±


    ¡°Spiritual power? Among Flying Heaven Warriors, mine is extremely strong.¡±


    Therefore, there was only one possibility¡ªthe body was not strong enough!


    The body is the foundation of all cultivation. The stronger the body, the stronger its ability to nurture the soul and the origin of the Life Star.


    ¡°When I cultivated the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the First Stage, I was already a Prime Warrior, naturally able to easily bear the First Order Star Mark,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°I¡¯ve now cultivated to level 29.9¡­ but to perfectly support the Second Order Star Mark of a Supreme Star Technique, the requirements for the Life Star¡¯s origin probably are extremely high.¡±


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the more stringent the requirements for cultivation.


    ¡­


    He took out a small piece of Earth Origin Crystal.


    Surrounding himself with it, Li Yuan initiated a thought to start absorbing the essence contained within the Divine Crystal.


    Hum~ A massive influx of strange energy.


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s deliberate guidance, it gradually poured into that Perfect Star Vein.


    Instantly, each Life Star¡¯s brilliance surged, making Li Yuan¡¯s sensation of the Life Stars far clearer than ever before by countless times.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    ¡°Branding the Star Mark.¡± Most of Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was entirely focused on the Perfect Star Vein.


    Rumble~


    The first Life Star trembled violently as strands of Origin Power merged into it, attempting to construct the Second Order Star Mark.


    A new Star Mark bearing invisible might was born, immediately increasing the pressure on the entire Life Star, causing even Li Yuan to feel a slight discomfort in his body¡­


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique, my body is still slightly weak,¡± Li Yuan immediately deduced. ¡°This makes the Life Star¡¯s origin not strong enough, but it can barely withstand it.¡±


    Just like a planet with limited resources can normally only support a billion people¡­ if it were inhabited by a hundred billion, there would be various problems due to resource scarcity, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire planet.


    It¡¯s the same with cultivating Star Techniques.


    If the body is not strong enough, if the origin of the Life Star is not strong enough, then it cannot bear too powerful Star Marks¡­


    ¡°If I became a Flying Heaven Warrior and experienced a leap in Life Level, cultivating with a Third Rank body would probably be quite easy,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°But if you want to cultivate it as a Prime Warrior, you need a very strong Body Refining Star Technique as a foundation.¡±


    Body Refining Star Technique comprehensively promotes the leap in Life Level.


    ¡°Still need to use a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals to aid my cultivation,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s body strength was already close to the Prime Warrior¡¯s limit, just barely able to endure.

    However, even with a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals, the speed of imprinting the Second Order Star Marks was very slow.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Hum~¡± The Second Order Star Mark of the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± was finally successfully imprinted with the first one.


    ¡°To have one means there could be a second,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°But just to successfully imprint one, so much essence of Earth Origin Crystal was consumed¡­ to fully cultivate it successfully?¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan made a quick calculation and swiftly came to a conclusion.


    To use Earth Origin Crystals for the entire cultivation process, at least Divine Crystals worth over a hundred thousand points would have to be exchanged from the Seven Star Treasury.


    Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be enough to cultivate this Star Technique to the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°How many points do I have? How could I spend them all on this?¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly and waved, putting away the Earth Origin Crystal that was suspended around him.


    After cultivating the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± to the Second Order Limit, the number of Five Elements Divine Crystals in Li Yuan¡¯s hands was also running low.


    ¡°It seems.¡±


    ¡°I need to return to World within Worlds and use that stone chamber for cultivation. Only then will there be hope of cultivating the Star Technique to the Second Order Limit,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    After a short contemplation, he sent a message to Duanmu Mountain Master, stating his request.


    ¡°This news, once passed back, will probably surprise the upper echelons. I estimate they¡¯ll also guess that I have secrets in the World within Worlds,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    But Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned about it.


    The present was different from the past. When he had first received the Ancient Torch Divine inheritance, his vision and strength were nowhere near what they are now. Out of caution and not daring to expose himself¡­ he had no clear understanding of the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But now, looking back, individuals like Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji possessed very impressive resources, and there seem to be no shortage of Divine Being Inheritances.


    Besides.


    Although Li Yuan had shown promise back then, he hadn¡¯t joined the Martial Divine Hall nor truly caught Dongfang Ji¡¯s attention.


    Facing the potential coveting of a Demigod, one naturally has reservations.


    Now? With an increase in strength and status, as long as Demigods do not act directly, Li Yuan fears no one.


    ¡­


    Within the palace at the very top of Seven Star Mountain.


    Duanmu Hong awakened from his meditation, looking at the request posed by Li Yuan, he was somewhat astonished: ¡°Isn¡¯t the World within Worlds of the Fierce Feather Star Realm only accessible to First Order beings?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has an additional right to enter?¡±


    Duanmu Hong didn¡¯t dare to be careless. After some thought, he made another transmission.


    Soon, communication was established.


    ¡°Mountain Lord, what¡¯s the matter?¡± a deep and cold voice sounded.

 Chapter 491 - 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    Chapter 491: Chapter 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine,¡± Duanmu Hong said, ¡°it is Li Yuan. He has just applied to me to go to the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯s World within Worlds and use that stone room deep within the vein.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± San Ye Semi Divine was also slightly startled, ¡°Isn¡¯t the World within Worlds only accessible to First Rank lifeforms?¡±


    Duanmu Hong fell silent.


    After a while.


    ¡°Tell him, he can,¡± San Ye Semi Divine slowly replied, ¡°I will arrange for the stationed Martial Artists to leave that area¡­ Let him use it, all free of charge. Once his cultivation is complete¡­ he can simply leave, and try not to expose his movements.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± the Duanmu Mountain Master nodded, but couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°What about the personnel arrangements that were set before?¡±


    ...


    Since winning the World within Worlds war, the Seven Star Civilization had been arranging for First Rank warriors who needed it to enter, breakthrough to become Second Rank Prime Warriors inside, and then cultivate some secret techniques and Star Techniques with the help of the stone rooms.


    It had saved the civilization a great deal of Five Elements Divine Crystal.


    Naturally, there was a prioritized list, and the order from San Ye Semi Divine was equivalent to letting Li Yuan jump the queue.


    ¡°Postpone all of them.¡±


    ¡°If anyone is dissatisfied, tell them, this is the order of the Alliance Hierarch,¡± San Ye Semi Divine declared.


    Suddenly, San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s tone softened, ¡°Li Yuan is currently the most important cultivation genius of our civilization, and we must fully satisfy anything that can be satisfied¡­ Besides, the World within Worlds was conquered by him; he should have the freedom to come and go, which means he holds special privilege access. Deep within the World within Worlds, there likely still lies a secret.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± the Duanmu Mountain Master nodded.


    The implication from San Ye Semi Divine was simple, other resources for cultivation might be held up and it wouldn¡¯t matter much¡­ But the cultivation resources of the World within Worlds were connected to Li Yuan.


    If Li Yuan¡¯s needs were not met, eventually, no one else might be able to use the stone rooms.


    ¡­


    ¡°Is the application approved so quickly? And I can use it indefinitely starting one day later?¡± Li Yuan was quite surprised.


    He had thought there would be some complications.


    After all, Li Yuan knew that many First Rank geniuses within the Seven Star Civilization were preparing to queue up for its use¡­ He had been ready to wait in line for a while.


    ¡°Probably, my freedom to enter and exit the World within Worlds has intimidated the Demigods above,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    This kind of access was very special; any Demigod could guess that something was amiss.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Not wishing to delay, Li Yuan quietly left Seven Star Mountain, and aside from the Duanmu Mountain Master¡­ no one knew of his whereabouts.


    After leaving the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t choose to fly directly, instead, he took a flying machine and disguised himself as another person.


    This was arranged by the Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Although the alien civilizations were currently focusing their inquiry efforts on the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± they had never loosened their vigilance against ¡°Li Yuan,¡± the super genius.


    Staying in the Martial Divine Star Realm was harmless.


    Once out in the world, exposing his whereabouts could very well lead to an assassination attempt¡­ The Feixing was vast, far surpassing Blue Star, and no one knew if the Alien Civilization could mobilize Flying Heaven Peak experts.


    ¡­


    Martial Divine Star Realm, among the densely packed estates and villas situated on the land.


    Inside one unremarkable estate.


    Whoosh! A young woman dressed in tight-fitting clothes, holding a long sword, was silently practicing swordsmanship in the Martial Arts Room.


    Swoo! Swoo! Swoo!


    The sword light danced; with every thread of light that emerged, it subtly invoked the Mystery of Fire from the surroundings¡­ creating wisps of flames out of the void.


    This scene, if witnessed by Flying Heaven Warriors, would shock and astonish them.


    It was normal for a sword to draw on the power of heaven and earth.


    But to make the power of heaven and earth materialize? To truly bring it into a material manifestation¡­ The requirements were extremely high, and even those with Fifth Stage Perfection found it difficult to achieve.


    ¡°True Phoenix Bloodline.¡±


    ¡°It allows me to have an extremely high affinity with the Fire System,¡± Lin Lanyue murmured to herself, ¡°In combat, with the same level of skill, I can exert stronger power when it comes to the Fire System.¡±


    After leaving the World within Worlds, she had come to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Lin Lanyue still dared not relax in her cultivation.


    The many experiences since her youth had also caused changes within her heart.


    Like the last gathering, when Lin Lanyue found out that Li Yuan was not going, she directly refused to attend.


    ¡°Master, San Ye Semi Divine wishes to establish communication,¡± the voice of the auxiliary AI suddenly rang out in the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine?¡± Lin Lanyue was mildly shocked.


    When she was deeply immersed in cultivation, ordinary communications would not have been able to disturb her.


    ¡°Answer it,¡± Lin Lanyue said directly, immediately sheathing her long sword.


    The voice communication was established.


    ¡°Lanyue, I hope I¡¯m not disturbing your cultivation,¡± a clear, gentle voice emerged from the empty light screen projection.


    ¡°Is there something you need, Semi Divine?¡± Lin Lanyue asked.


    ¡°There is a matter I would like to inquire about with you,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said, ¡°It concerns Li Yuan¡­¡±


    Swiftly, San Ye Semi Divine recounted the detailed situation to Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°You are a registered disciple of a Fire System Divine, and we understand you have the freedom to enter and exit the World within Worlds,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said, ¡°But Li Yuan, according to what he originally claimed, he only received a Demigod inheritance¡­ How does he have this privilege?¡±


    Lin Lanyue was speechless, her mind racing.


    Just one second.


    ¡°Semi Divine, I am not a Direct Disciple, and only the Boundary Spirit knows the many secrets of the World within Worlds,¡± Lin Lanyue explained, ¡°In fact, if not for Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the Earth Vein, with his peerless talent, he might have already become the Teacher¡¯s Direct Disciple¡­ And he also discovered traces of the Divine of the Blazing Flame.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, this is a special privilege given to him by the Boundary Spirit,¡± Lin Lanyue continued, ¡°After all, he is also considered a part of the Fire System Divine lineage.¡±


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s response was watertight.


    Of course, she knew the real reason, but compared to the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ she trusted Li Yuan more.


    Since Li Yuan himself had not revealed it, Lin Lanyue naturally would not disclose it either.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I understand now, go back to your cultivation,¡± the voice of San Ye Semi Divine was gentle, ¡°With your talent, you are expected to achieve Semi Divine status in the future, and I look forward to the day you stand alongside me.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Semi Divine.¡±


    The communication was terminated by both parties.


    ¡°Li Yuan has gone to the World within Worlds again?¡± Lin Lanyue pondered silently, ¡°Is it really just to cultivate using the stone chamber?¡±


    ¡­


    Merely ten or so hours later,


    Li Yuan had already traversed nearly half of Feixing, and half of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, arriving outside the War Fortress established by the Blazing Flame Family.


    Other First Rank life forms entering the World within Worlds must pass through a ¡®gateway¡¯.


    But Li Yuan, who possessed the token, did not need to. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as Gu You and the Boundary Spirit had said, with the token in hand, as long as he was near the World within Worlds, he could directly enter.


    ¡°Go ahead,¡± Li Yuan thought, activating the token.


    The next moment.


    Hum~ With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, he could faintly sense an invisible fluctuation forming in the void.


    ¡°Li Yuan, welcome back, don¡¯t resist,¡± the gentle voice of the Boundary Spirit rang out.


    Whoosh~


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, and in an instant, he disappeared from his original location, having been taken into the World within Worlds.


    ¡­


    Whoosh~


    Li Yuan felt a flickering around him, followed by countless streaming lights, blurring his surroundings.


    After a dozen seconds or so, he found himself in an ancient palace.


    It was the Hall of Inheritance for the Earth System Divine.


    ¡°Little brother, returning so soon, are you prepared to take on the challenge of the Hall of Inheritance?¡±

 Chapter 492 - 294 The Second Test! Is this difficult?

    Chapter 492: Chapter 294 The Second Test! Is this difficult?


    ¡°Sister!¡± Li Yuan was startled and immediately saw the figure that seemed both real and surreal appearing in the void of the palace.


    Clad in white, with an exceptionally beautiful face, her long hair flowed down and her bare feet emitted a sense of sanctity that prevented any blasphemous thoughts.


    It was the controller of the Hall of Inheritance, ¡®Gu You¡¯.


    ¡°What, seeing me seems to have surprised you?¡± The girl in white smiled at Li Yuan, stepping down from the void and approaching him.


    ¡°Sis, I didn¡¯t expect the Boundary Spirit to transport me here,¡± Li Yuan said with a wry smile.


    Indeed, he had not expected it.


    ...


    Although Li Yuan had planned to attempt the second trial of the Hall of Inheritance this time, he had also prepared to cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Second Order Limit before attempting it.


    After all, even though ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ was an auxiliary cultivation technique for Star Techniques, as a Supreme Star Technique, it could significantly enhance Li Yuan¡¯s strength when he invoked the Mysteries of Earth.


    ¡°It was I who had Xiao Huo transport you here,¡± Gu You said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan: ¡°It sensed in a preliminary test that your vital energy is extremely strong, seeming to approach the Flying Heaven Level¡­ You must have cultivated the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the pinnacle of the second order.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.


    Li Yuan was not surprised, he had long experienced the inquiry methods of the Boundary Spirit, and he saw no need to hide anything from Gu You.


    ¡°In just over a year, you have cultivated the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, proving that your second Star Meridian has awakened to the Seventh Layers, and indeed, your Star Meridian talent is astonishing,¡± the girl sighed lightly, her eyes shining with a spiritual light.


    She felt that she had chosen the right person.


    ¡°How many Star Meridians have you awakened?¡± the girl asked again.


    ¡°Five, and I should be close to awakening the sixth,¡± Li Yuan added: ¡°I have not encountered any bottlenecks so far.¡±


    Indeed, he had not encountered any bottlenecks.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, among that group of top geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef, it was incredibly difficult to awaken six Star Meridians even after decades of cultivation¡­ Most Flying Heaven Warriors would generally awaken four Star Meridians during their Prime Warrior stage.


    In civilizations like the Seven Star Civilization, where there are thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, just awakening six Star Meridians and reaching the intermediate rank of Sixth Stage¡­ By slowly cultivating and refining Origin Pills, they were destined to reach level 36.


    This is the standard of a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    And Li Yuan? Although his spiritual power had not reached level 37 and he had not initiated the second Spiritual Guidance¡­ he had already caught up with most Flying Heaven Warriors in terms of Star Meridians through his own efforts.


    ¡°Then that¡¯s correct.¡±


    Gu You said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ve come to the secret realm this time, probably wanting to cultivate ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Second Order Limit.¡±


    ¡°Sister sees clearly,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Obviously, Gu You had a thorough understanding of the cultivation requirements for these powerful Star Techniques.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush in cultivating Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been growing at a surprising rate, and it just so happens you¡¯re here today,¡± Gu You smiled: ¡°So why not try the second trial first?¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan had no objections and indeed, he felt a bit of anticipation.


    According to what Gu You had said before,


    As long as he passed the second trial, he would be able to initially take control of the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°Brother, follow me.¡± Gu You suddenly waved her hand, and a wall nearby burst into a rumble.


    Boom¡­ A passageway suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was flabbergasted, considering he had spent so much time in the Hall of Inheritance without the slightest inkling.


    Whoosh!


    The girl¡¯s bare feet stepped across the void, proceeding down the newly formed passageway to the depths, and Li Yuan hurried to keep up.


    ¡­


    The corridor was dark but extremely spacious, with a world of its own inside. As one entered, it felt as though they had arrived in a different space altogether.


    ¡°Brother,¡±


    ¡°Our father left behind five trials,¡± the girl said while walking: ¡°The first trial you passed previously made you a Direct Disciple, granting you weapons, tokens, and treasures to assist in Enlightenment¡­ This is what you deserved.¡±


    ¡°The second trial is the test for Prime Warriors,¡± the girl continued: ¡°Passing it proves you are sufficiently excellent at this stage and will grant you a second reward.¡±


    ¡°It also allows you to initially recognize the Hall of Inheritance as your own, enabling you to take it out of this secret realm and Star Realm,¡± the girl glanced at Li Yuan, smiling: ¡°Otherwise, once you become a Flying Heaven Warrior, it would be difficult to take the Hall of Inheritance with you.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless for a moment, then felt it made sense upon reflection.


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm is but a Second Level Star Realm, which only allows entry to Prime Warriors.


    However, Li Yuan also harbored some doubts: did the Ancient Torch Divine know when establishing the Hall of Inheritance that it would end up trapped in a Second Level Star Realm?¡­ What Li Yuan didn¡¯t realize was that many of these rules were actually set by Gu You.


    In this Hall of Inheritance, Gu You had immense authority.


    ¡°The third trial is for you to challenge at the Flying Heaven Level, and once you succeed, the reward will be far more substantial, with some treasures that would drive many demigods mad¡­¡±


    ¡°The fourth trial is for you to attempt at the Semi Divine Realm¡­¡±


    ¡°The fifth trial is for when you become a Fifth Rank Divine Being to challenge, and it¡¯s the final test. Once successful, you¡¯ll receive all the heirlooms left behind by our father,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    Li Yuan listened in amazement.


    The Ancient Torch Divine had set five trials for his future Successor? Especially the last one, which required a Divine Being? It was almost incredible.


    From this alone, Li Yuan could infer that his surrogate teacher, the ¡®Ancient Torch Divine¡¯, was no ordinary Divine.


    Most likely, he was a being that transcended the fifth order.


    ¡­The corridor was very long, and the girl walked leisurely ahead, with Li Yuan naturally not daring to overtake.


    They passed by many ancient doors along the way, doors shrouded in dust, behind which what seemed to be secrets were hidden.


    But since Gu You did not offer explanations, Li Yuan dared not inquire further.


    Finally.


    After passing through a total of six doors, they stopped in front of the seventh door.


    ¡°The trial for Prime Warriors is right here.¡± Gu You smiled, followed by a lifting of her hand.


    Her slender fingers pointed gently at the door, a surge of invisible force sweeping past.


    Boom¡­ The metal doors, sealed for eons, slowly began to open, revealing the scene inside to Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    It was another hall.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, inside.¡± The girl said, an invisible force enveloping Li Yuan, and in an instant, they flew into the metallic gate.


    The expansive hall.


    A white sphere floated high in the sky, casting a hazy glow that illuminated the entire hall.


    In the hall, there were sequentially four areas.


    There was a giant Divine Pillar, entirely golden, engraved with countless mysterious runes that emitted invisible Spiritual Shock waves.


    There was a massive stone wall.


    There was also a huge tournament platform.


    And the last area was empty, except for a yellowish-brown Jade Platform placed at the end.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan pointed at the four major areas of the hall.


    ¡°Just like when you passed the first trial, you have to go through three stages.¡± The girl smiled at Li Yuan, ¡°The Prime Warrior trial is similarly three stages¡­ As for the last area, it¡¯s the ¡®recognition of master¡¯ area.¡±


    ¡°As long as you get through the first three stages, the fourth should not be difficult.¡±


    ¡°Remember.¡±


    ¡°You are not allowed to use external forces, such as Origin Power Weapons and the like.¡± The girl spoke very seriously, ¡°You can only use your own strength.¡±


    ¡°Go.¡± The girl said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about failing¡­ Every Direct Disciple has five chances to attempt; if you fail this time, you can come back next time. The rules left by Master are very humane.¡±


    Five times?


    Li Yuan certainly did not want to repeat the trial. A failure would mean one less opportunity.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped forward and flew straight toward the Spiritual Pillar, approaching within about two hundred meters.


    Boom!


    An invisible force of suppression struck Li Yuan as if struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground with a thud.


    ¡°Can¡¯t fly?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°Little brother, you just need to withstand the oppression of the Spiritual Pillar and touch it to pass the first stage.¡± The girl watched leisurely from the sky, ¡°Remember, you have ten minutes.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan took a step and headed straight for the Spiritual Pillar, immediately feeling an astonishing pressure bearing down on him.


    Spiritual oppression.


    ¡°Such strong oppression.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sharpened. This kind of pressure was much stronger compared to the Spiritual Pillar in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Thump~thump~thump~


    Li Yuan took steps toward the Spiritual Pillar, each step increasing the intensity of the spiritual oppression.


    But Li Yuan was also quickly adapting to the rhythm of this spiritual oppression.


    ¡°Given the increasing rate of spiritual oppression, I fear that even warriors at the Peak of Flying Heaven might not be able to make it to the end,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He believed that if other Prime Warriors were to try, even talents like Lude Nef or Yu Jinghe would find it hard to pass the first stage.

    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power is very strong. Once he gets a little accustomed, passing the first stage within five minutes should not be difficult,¡± Gu You thought to herself.


    The trials left by the immensely powerful Ancient Torch Divine were naturally extremely difficult.


    But soon.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Gu You suddenly froze because after adapting for about ten seconds, Li Yuan¡¯s figure burst forth, running wildly and reaching the Spiritual Pillar in just four or five seconds.


    He placed a single palm on the Spiritual Pillar.


    ¡°Sis, I¡¯ve touched it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice echoed in the vast hall.


    Silence fell.


    Several seconds later.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Finally, the voice sounded like music from the void, ¡°Little brother, continue to the second stage¡­ The second stage is very simple. On the stone wall, the right side is blank, while the left has a diagram of the Mysteries of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°You have three hours. As long as you replicate the diagram of the Mysteries of True Intent on the right side completely, you¡¯ll have passed the test,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°All right.¡±


    Li Yuan left the range of the Spiritual Pillar and quickly flew towards the massive stone wall.


    In the void.


    ¡°This?¡± Gu You was still somewhat stunned, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power is strong, it seems to be at the level 36, but it shouldn¡¯t be this easy, could it be that his willpower is even stronger than his spiritual power¡­ or is the Spiritual Pillar broken due to age?¡±


    The girl pondered, just about to go down and test whether the Spiritual Pillar was damaged.


    Suddenly.


    From the second area.


    ¡°Sis, I¡¯ve finished replicating it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice rang out, echoing in the hall again.


    Whoosh!


    The girl could no longer hold back and stepped forward, teleporting across hundreds of meters.


    She arrived beneath the massive stone wall.


    On the previously empty right side of the wall were now surges of Origin Power, forming a complex ¡®Origin Power Diagram¡¯ that emitted waves of the True Meaning of Earth¡¯s Mystery.


    Although the pattern on the left was slightly different, the emitted True Intent vibrations were almost exactly the same.


    ¡°Little brother, how did you do it?¡± Gu You couldn¡¯t help herself and asked.


    ¡°Is it that difficult?¡±

 Chapter 493 - 295: Success Achieved! Throwing in Extra Hope (Add More 19)

    Chapter 493: Chapter 295: Success Achieved! Throwing in Extra Hope (Add More 19)


    Li Yuan truly didn¡¯t find it difficult.


    The patterns carved on the left side of this stone wall, containing the Earth¡¯s Mysteries, were indeed very profound.


    If it had been right after he first condensed the True Meaning of Earth, he might have taken one or two hours to successfully replicate it.


    But over the past year, although Li Yuan had devoted most of his energy to comprehending the Mystery of Wind, his progress on the True Meaning of Earth had actually been even greater¡­ There was no helping it; his talent in the Earth Vein far surpassed that of the Wind Vein.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t find it difficult, but his words had somewhat silenced Gu You.


    Not difficult?


    ...


    These tests, after all, were designed specifically for Li Yuan by Gu You; according to her calculations, passing the first two stages should be somewhat challenging for Li Yuan, but not so effortless.


    The third stage? It was supposed to be insurmountable.


    But judging by Li Yuan¡¯s current condition, the first two stages posed no difficulty at all, so how could the third stage be challenging?


    ¡°Little brother, how long have you been condensing the True Meaning of Earth? Three months? Half a year?¡± Gu You suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°One year.¡± Li Yuan answered.


    Gu You was stunned again, questioning her own memory.


    One year? That meant not long after leaving the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had rapidly condensed the True Meaning of Earth from the Fifth Stage High Rank skills?


    What kind of cultivation speed was that?


    ¡°Sister?¡± Li Yuan also noticed a slight change in Gu You¡¯s emotions.


    His own cultivation speed in the Earth¡¯s Mysteries seemed to be far beyond her expectations.


    After a while.


    ¡°You really are a little monster.¡± Gu You suddenly sighed, her gaze complicated as she looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Little brother, you¡­ indeed exceed the imagination, a true prodigy.¡±


    ¡°In your civilization, you must be considered a top-tier talent.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If just considering his current age, across the history of the entire Seven Star Civilization, nobody could compare with him.


    Even Principal Fang Hai at the age of 20 wasn¡¯t close to him.


    ¡°This Fierce Feather Star Realm is only in contact with a few planes, the entire domain has only opened up for a hundred years, granting few First Rank beings the opportunity to venture through.¡±


    Gu You spoke with some emotion: ¡°In the past, when Father sought Direct Disciples, countless creatures from many planets would flock, vying for the chance to become disciples¡­ But with so few people, to be able to recruit a prodigy like you.¡±


    ¡°Luck!¡±


    ¡°It really is luck.¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°Even compared to those few disciples that Father once cultivated meticulously, you are still somewhat superior.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled unconcernedly.


    Perhaps among the many civilizations in the vast dimensional domains, there might be Prime Warriors stronger than himself because the world is so vast and bound to have some peerless geniuses.


    But speaking solely of cultivation speed, few could probably catch up with him. This was due to both his Comprehension and the aid of many fortuitous encounters provided by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Like this time, although Gu You believed his talent to be extraordinary, she probably didn¡¯t anticipate that within the Seven Star Civilization, there existed an incredible treasure like the ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ that could greatly enhance his growth over the past year.


    To resonate with a Divine Consciousness? That was a method not even left behind by the Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Since your talent is so monstrous, then I will increase the difficulty for you.¡± The maiden suddenly smiled sweetly: ¡°The third stage is a combat assessment, I have set your opponent to be even more formidable¡­ You don¡¯t have to win, if you last a hundred seconds against them, you will be deemed victorious.¡±


    ¡°One hundred seconds? Alright!¡± Li Yuan nodded: ¡°Sister, does that mean I¡¯ve passed the Second Stage?¡±


    ¡°Of course you have, proceed.¡± There was a hint of expectation in Gu You¡¯s eyes.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan leapt towards the arena of the third area; at first glance, the arena seemed very small, with a maximum diameter not exceeding one hundred meters¡­ But before Li Yuan could raise any questions.


    As soon as he flew into range of the arena.


    He felt an invisible fluctuation envelop him, and immediately his field of vision drastically expanded.


    The arena that was only a hundred meters in length and width quickly enlarged into a massive one with a diameter of over three kilometers¡­ Similarly, in the distant view, the stone walls and Divine Pillars within the hall also seemed much larger than before.


    ¡°It¡¯s not the arena that¡¯s gotten larger, it¡¯s me who¡¯s become smaller.¡± Li Yuan realized this instantly, his heart quite shaken.


    So strange!


    This kind of ability, truly profound.


    ¡°Little brother, don¡¯t be surprised, this is just a rudimentary application of the Space Law, the art of shrinking space!¡± Gu You¡¯s pleasant voice resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Prepare for battle.¡±


    ¡°Remember, if you feel that you can¡¯t win, just concede, and the opponent will immediately stop.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Hum~


    Their eyes saw dozens of lights converging in the void of the arena, forming several huge numbers out of thin air ¨C 100


    Li Yuan understood immediately; this was probably the countdown.


    Whoosh~


    On the vast arena floor, a tuft of golden mist spontaneously rose, followed by more mist condensing into a human shape, ultimately forming the figure of a Golden Armored Warrior wielding a Long Spear.


    At first glance, he appeared human.


    Even the flesh and skin seemed incredibly real.


    But an Inquiry from Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace subconsciously made it clear to him that this Golden Armored Warrior was not a real life form.


    ¡°Young master, long time no see.¡± The Golden Armored Warrior cracked a smile, speaking human language.


    ¡°Are you number one? Or number two?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted, long time no see?


    He had only seen so few figures in the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°I am number one.¡± The Golden Armored Warrior spoke, yet its aura began to subtly change; its smile disappeared, as it solemnly said: ¡°Young master, I am commanded to guard the Third Stage, and I will not hold back. Within the rules set, if young master is not strong enough, death is a possibility, so please gauge your own strength.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had a vague guess that the one fighting him might not be the true body of number one; they resembled ¡®intelligent puppets,¡¯ possibly having emotions similar to those of real life forms.


    But compared to emotions, they would adhere more to their orders, without showing personal feelings.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The Golden Armored Warrior suddenly let out a roar and instantly turned into a shadow, its speed swiftly soaring past three times the speed of sound, lightning-fast as it lunged towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°`


    Boom! A burst of terrifying, earthy yellow energy streams exploded instantly from the core of the Golden Armored Warrior, directly forming a True Intent Domain.


    The two were less than three kilometers apart.


    In just two seconds, the Golden Armored Warrior had already closed the distance completely.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan sprang into action in a flash, invoking the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± with a mere thought. His body transformed instantly into a height of five meters, with his combat armor and long spear enlarging swiftly, his entire being exuding a ferocious and robust aura.


    ¡°14th level body refining Star Technique, indeed much stronger than the 10th level,¡± Li Yuan felt the surging powerful strength within him, his fighting spirit soaring!


    The immense strength made Li Yuan¡¯s power burst forth, truly comparable to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Body Refining Star Technique is the foundation of everything.


    Many 30th or 31st level Flying Heaven Warriors, even if they mastered the Fifth Layer Body Refining Star Technique to the Third Rank limit, were only at the 15th level Star Technique, which could continue to suppress Li Yuan in basic strength¡­ But what if they had not cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique? Many Flying Heaven Warriors in pure strength, were not even a match for Li Yuan now.


    By cultivating the Seventh Layer Star Technique to the current maximum, the gap in the foundation had been greatly closed, making it easier for Li Yuan to fight across ranks.


    Swish! Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain was a thought domain.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    As the two gigantic domains collided, Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain instantly showed signs of crumbling. Immediately after, the two long spears clashed in the void, each release a burst of the True Meaning of Earth.


    A head-on collision.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±¡­ More than a dozen lightning-fast clashes.


    The terrifying power contained within the Golden Armored Warrior¡¯s Spear Technique, transmitted through the long spear, overwhelmed Li Yuan, forcing him to retreat step by step, with the last strike sending him flying backwards.


    He crashed heavily to the ground.


    ¡°Such exquisite control of power! The force drawn from nature is so refined, definitely a middle Sixth Stage standard,¡± Li Yuan could already sense the gap between them.


    In terms of power alone, Li Yuan augmented with Source Technique was more terrifying, especially surpassing the Golden Armored Warrior.


    But in terms of skill.


    Li Yuan, utilizing only the Mystery of Earth with his Spear Technique, revealed a significant gap in the level of their spear skills.


    ¡°Only six seconds have passed,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the countdown digits in the void above.


    ¡°If I persist in just using the True Meaning of Earth Spear Technique, focusing on defense, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to endure a hundred seconds,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Let¡¯s try a little more, experience it further, then quickly end the battle.¡±


    A middle Sixth Stage skill is already a very high standard, and the majority of Flying Heaven Peak warriors are around this level.


    Li Yuan still wanted to spar a bit more.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A terrifying spear shadow mercilessly slashed, like a meteor falling from the sky, Li Yuan¡¯s form shifted, fluttering like a breeze, easily dodging the blow.


    The Mysteries of the True Meaning of Wind! Li Yuan had unleashed it.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Gu You, who had been leisurely watching the battle, flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes, ¡°The Mystery of Wind? To execute a movement technique instantly to such an extent, it must be at least Fifth Stage Perfection.¡±


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has actually cultivated both veins?¡± Gu You found it somewhat incredible.


    Initially, she hadn¡¯t even noticed any talent from Li Yuan in the Wind Vein.


    And such a drastic change in just over a year?


    It was beyond her expectations.


    ¡°The movement technique, greatly strengthened in an instant.¡± The young girl sighed inwardly, ¡°With this, it will be almost too easy for Li Yuan to hold out for a hundred seconds.¡±


    She had to admit she had underestimated Li Yuan.


    Just over ten seconds later.


    ¡°What?¡± The young girl was utterly shocked, her pupils contracted, fixated on the stage below.


    Li Yuan, who had fiercely battled with the Golden Armored Warrior for hundreds of moves, suddenly changed his tactics.


    Boom!


    Centered on Li Yuan, bursts of earthy yellow energy surged again, this time with an abundance of greenish flows intermixed. The previously collapsing True Intent Domain reformed with even greater might¡­ It quickly dominated the battlefield.


    Most importantly.


    Within this powerful True Intent Domain, the one Li Yuan suddenly multiplied into five.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡±¡­ All five Li Yuans moved simultaneously, their shapes flickering, making it impossible to discern which was real and which was a phantom.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Overwhelming spear lights completely erupted, at least five spear shadows bearing down, unpredictable and much more powerful than before ¨C by more than tenfold?


    If Li Yuan¡¯s combat power was 100 before.


    Then, with the full eruption now, combining two True Intents, his combat power unquestionably exceeded 1000.


    The combination of two Mysteries of True Intent is a qualitative change.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± Under the onslaught of sweeping long spears, the Golden Armored Warrior remained eerily calm, struggling to wield his long spear, attempting to block Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Spurt~¡± A long spear unexpectedly thrust from the current, striking strangely. The Golden Armored Warrior couldn¡¯t evade in time, his throat was pierced, creating a bloody hole.


    He staggered backwards immediately.


    The Golden Armored Warrior, being a simulation of real life, naturally suffered a fatal wound.


    Whoosh!


    Another spear swept by, decapitating the Golden Armored Warrior, who couldn¡¯t stand any longer and fell with a thud.


    Dead!


    ¡°Sister, it took 21 seconds,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice rang out, and right after, he transformed into a beam of light and flew up to the high sky, next to the girl in white.


    Gu You, watching Li Yuan intently.


    Suddenly, the girl laughed.


    ¡°Sister, did I pass?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°You passed, the gatekeeper is defeated, you naturally passed,¡± Gu You¡¯s eyes flickered with a hint of tears, and then she could barely hold back her laughter, ¡°Haha, father, I finally see hope.¡±

    Chapter 494: Chapter 296 Refinement! The Situation in Mingxu (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Looking at Gu You who was somewhat discomposed, crying and laughing before him,


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t know what to do for a moment.


    In his memory, Gu You had always been calm and in control of everything.


    This had never happened before.


    ¡°Hope?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, ¡°Gu You, has he come to regard me as hope?¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t speak, just stood quietly to the side.


    ...


    He knew well that since the Ancient Torch Divine had left an inheritance, it likely had some request, only it had not been disclosed to him before.


    Moreover, since he was named a Direct Disciple and had received many favors, then if possible in the future, fulfilling the other party¡¯s last wish was also proper.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Brother, I apologize, I was a bit out of sorts just now.¡± The girl suddenly shook her head, her demeanor and poise quickly returning to normal.


    No signs of her previous discomposure could be discerned anymore.


    Gu You didn¡¯t explain, and Li Yuan didn¡¯t inquire about what that ¡®hope¡¯ was.


    ¡°I really can¡¯t figure out how you¡¯ve cultivated,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°In just over a year, you¡¯ve gone from the Fifth Stage High Rank Skill Realm of The Mystery of Earth to the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind.¡±


    ¡°For so-called geniuses, it would be remarkable to grasp a single True Intent in such a short time, but not only have you comprehended two True Intents, but they are also nearly perfectly combined¡­ In the thousands of years my father ruled over a vast number of planets, there has never been a freak like you.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement, joy, and confusion, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯ve had another great fortune in this past year?¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned and didn¡¯t know where to start.


    Guidance from Teacher Lie Feng for a whole year was important but not unique.


    Over the past year, if he had to speak of fortunes, it was the Divine Spirit Liquid, along with two Martial God Inheritances.


    For the average genius of typical civilizations, S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    it indeed wouldn¡¯t be possible to obtain these.


    The persistent cultivation of the Visualization Method made his spiritual power increase rapidly, which was also a significant aid.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve passed the trial, haven¡¯t I?¡± Li Yuan changed the subject directly.


    ¡°This Gatekeeper was augmented by me; as long as you held your ground, it would have sufficed, but you went as far as directly defeating it.¡± The girl didn¡¯t continue to question him, instead she took up the conversation, ¡°Naturally, you have passed, and extraordinarily well beyond common reasoning.¡±


    ¡°You now qualify to initially claim ownership of the Hall of Inheritance.¡± The girl said, ¡°Come with me.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Gu You soared toward the far end of the hall.


    Li Yuan quickly followed, anticipation stirring in his heart.


    Initial claim of the Hall of Inheritance? According to Gu You, once he made the initial claim, he would be able to carry the entire Hall of Inheritance with him.


    Not to mention anything else, just his ability to protect himself would greatly increase.


    The two rapidly arrived in front of the unremarkable, earthy-yellow Jade Platform.


    ¡°Brother, as long as you refine it, it¡¯s akin to controlling the foundational key of the Hall of Inheritance,¡± Gu You pointed at the earthy-yellow Jade Platform, ¡°You would be able to barely manipulate it to enlarge or shrink the entire Hall of Inheritance, and you could carry it away from the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°At that time, the treasure from passing the second challenge will also be directly bestowed upon you.¡±


    ¡°Some of the secret locations within the Hall of Inheritance will also be within your right to know a bit about, and you can enter at any time.¡± The girl looked at Li Yuan.


    A bit of knowledge?


    Li Yuan muttered inwardly, it seemed that even with an initial claim, he wouldn¡¯t be able to control the entire Hall of Inheritance, which was only natural¡­ according to the commands left by the Ancient Torch Divine, he probably had to become a Divine to fully control the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°Sit on it,¡± she said.


    ¡°Refining the core of the Hall of Inheritance is not easy, usually only a powerful Flying Heaven Warrior can do it.¡± The girl cautioned, ¡°Your Skill Realm is only relatively high among Prime Warriors, but refining it¡­ will likely take a very long time.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Whoosh!


    In one step, Li Yuan crossed dozens of meters of void and gently sat cross-legged on the earthy-yellow Jade Platform.


    Just as he sat down.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept over him, akin to climbing halfway up a mountain feeling extremely hot and irritable, then suddenly drinking a sip of ice-cold cola, his whole soul trembled with refreshing delight indescribable in words.


    Instantly, Li Yuan¡¯s heart became extremely calm and clear, all previous distracting thoughts dissipating.


    ¡°This Jade Platform is definitely a rare and precious object,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Hum~ Hum~


    As Li Yuan sat down, large quantities of strange Secret Runes faintly emerged around the earthy-yellow Jade Platform, with a stream of radiance flowing along their surfaces. The radiance passed from layer to layer, as if waves from all directions crashing towards a central island.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Sitting on the Jade Platform, Li Yuan instantly felt a tremor in his spirit, followed by a guiding invisible force¡­ Numerous fluctuating images came to him.


    Palaces, corridors¡­ the entirety of the Hall of Inheritance seemed to be reflected in his heart, accompanied by an unprecedented pressure that made his heart tremble.


    Enduring this for a long time, his heart might completely shatter under the assault.


    ¡°Hold true to your heart.¡±


    ¡°Now, you just need to follow the sensation, focus on understanding one of the fluctuations, ignore the rest, then imprint your Spiritual Mark on the main hall, and you can complete the initial claim,¡± Gu You¡¯s timely voice echoed, ¡°Don¡¯t always think about achieving everything all at once, your strength isn¡¯t strong enough yet.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan immediately concentrated his spirit, only focusing on refining one of the fluctuation¡¯s Mysteries, which was incredibly complex.


    With his current realm and Soul Power, grasping and refining it was extremely slow.


    Time passed.


    In the void.


    ¡°Finally, the true beginning of the claim,¡± the girl in white watched the young man sitting quietly on the Jade Platform.


    She could feel that she was losing a little control over the Hall of Inheritance.


    But her heart felt not a trace of loss, instead, there was joy and excitement, and a tear glistened in her eye: ¡°Father, he will surely make it! Hope has finally appeared!¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Back then, you came from beyond our realm, yet you failed to achieve success,¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is different. He is a native life form, and his talent is so exceptional and terrifying. With my help, he is definitely going to succeed,¡± the girl in white murmured in her heart.


    In those days,


    Ancient Torch Divine led many powerful followers to descend, waging war across numerous planes to achieve the goals in his heart, battling with many divines¡­ He had anticipated the difficulties of this journey early on and left behind many precautions.


    Like the Hall of Inheritance, for instance.


    ...


    True Phoenix Divine, being one of the most trusted followers of Ancient Torch Divine and possessing extremely strong survival capabilities, was also one of these precautions.


    Everything went as Ancient Torch Divine had anticipated¡­


    After eons had passed, all that had happened had long since dissipated into dust; this vast and boundless Dimensional Domain had settled into tranquility.


    ¡°I had thought that hope was exceedingly slim.¡±


    ¡°But who could have anticipated!¡±


    ¡°Father, I could actually find here a genius whose talent far surpasses yours,¡± the girl silently said, ¡°Perhaps even the heavens are aiding us in this endeavor.¡±


    She patiently awaited Li Yuan¡¯s recognition of lordship.


    ¡­


    As days went by, while Li Yuan was in the World within Worlds¡¯ Hall of Inheritance, continuously attempting refinement and to leave behind a Spiritual Imprint,


    Feixing, headquarters of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°There are records of Li Yuan entering the Fierce Feather Star Realm, but no records of him entering the World within Worlds?¡± the San Ye Semi Divine, wearing a cold mask, received the news from the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°Now, we have lost track of Li Yuan, with his communicator completely out of contact?¡±


    ¡°The chambers of the World within Worlds, the stationed martial artists withdrew three days ago, and up until now, no one has entered again?¡± San Ye Semi Divine was alarmed.


    Something seemed rather eerie.


    Without further hesitation, San Ye Semi Divine immediately activated various secret means, trying to contact Li Yuan¡­ but all to no avail.


    ¡°Fierce Feather Star Realm, being just a Second Level Star Realm, where the permanently residing Flying Heaven Warriors are simply common ones. With Li Yuan¡¯s strength, he should not have been threatened by anyone,¡± San Ye Semi Divine thought, ¡°Moreover, even if a battle of Flying Heaven Level were to erupt, Li Yuan should at least have some capacity to fight back.¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s no trace of him at all.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has another method of entering the World within Worlds? Then he might have gone into some secret place within and has temporarily avoided the chambers?¡± San Ye Semi Divine speculated reasonably.


    In fact, her speculations were very close to the truth.


    After a long contemplation,


    ¡°In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, within the World within Worlds, attempt to contact Li Yuan continuously for 24 hours.¡± San Ye Semi Divine gave the order, ¡°Also, keep the chamber vacant; no one is allowed to enter.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±

    August 16, 2045.


    Mingxu Star Realm.


    After over a year of construction, the previously visited outpost base number three by Li Yuan had expanded nearly a hundredfold and had come to resemble a mid-sized city.


    There weren¡¯t many residential areas, but a multitude of factories were operational, countless unmanned aerial vehicles patrolled.


    Many towering weapon towers stood erect, highly vigilant.


    Scores of high-speed railways stretched deep into the earth, trains crossed, bringing in vast amounts of mineral resources, while simultaneously, numerous martial artists and Mechanical Legions rode the trains deeper into the star realm.


    Today,

    Within a large conference room in its interior, many gathered here, each emanating formidable auras.


    ¡°`


    If Li Yuan had been here, he would have recognized several figures at a glance, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, An Yongya.


    Many of the top-tier talents from Seven Star Mountain had already gathered in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°All preparations for the general offensive have been completed, all Mechanical Legions and Martial Artists are in position, the aerial troops can also be dispatched at any moment¡­¡± a red-robed Flying Heaven Warrior whispered, ¡°Old Yu, should we move out?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s start the preparations, we can reach there within two hours,¡± Yu Jinghe whispered back, ¡°This battle is bound to be brutal, but leave the enemy¡¯s Flying Heaven-level forces for us to handle.¡±


    After multiple major battles over the past year,


    In field warfare, the Seven Star Civilization had gained an absolute advantage, and now they were about to launch a general offensive against the ¡®Tianliang Civilization Base¡¯ two thousand kilometers away, aiming to completely destroy it.


    Once the base is destroyed and the entrance to the Star Realm is blocked, it will be difficult for the Tianliang Civilization to launch a counterattack and regain a foothold.


    Although like the Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Clan controls four major bases in the Mingxu Star Realm and two portals, with two major bases built around them,


    the destruction of one means the loss of a strategic support point, and the situation will quickly deteriorate.


    ¡°According to our intelligence, there are still quite a number of talented warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors hidden within the Tianliang Civilization Base,¡± said the red-robed Flying Heaven Warrior, unable to help himself, ¡°Even the Myriad Demons Civilization might send talents. Should we request support from above and ask the Spirit Gun to come before the general offensive?¡±


    For a moment, the meeting room went quiet.


    The Spirit Gun? Although they were all fighting in the Mingxu Star Realm, they were also aware of the grand battle taking place in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    The name ¡°Spirit Gun¡± resonated like thunder.


    ¡°Rest assured, gentlemen, I am not one of those pedantic people who worry about the Spirit Gun taking our so-called credit,¡±


    ¡°In fact, I have already requested the higher-ups and Semi-Divines, hoping that the Spirit Gun would come to the battle,¡± Yu Jinghe shook his head, ¡°But the Semi-Divines replied¡­ The Spirit Gun is currently undergoing important cultivation, and unless absolutely necessary, he will not come.¡±


    ¡°Lude Nef is the same, he too is at a critical junction in his cultivation.¡±


    Everyone nodded slightly.


    Over time, they had all come to greatly admire Yu Jinghe, who was a genuinely selfless leader.


    ¡°Drip~¡± Suddenly, a figure flickered on a distant projection screen,


    The figure seemed to be flying at high speed, frantically roaring, ¡°Requesting backup! Requesting backup!¡±


    ¡°Tavares, what happened?¡± Yu Jinghe asked urgently.


    ¡°I¡¯ve discovered important clues to a relic, possibly one of the entrances, on the eastern side of area ¡¯67¡¯ on the outskirts of Ming Mountain,¡± Tavares said hastily, ¡°But there, a large group of local Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts are guarding it!!¡±


    ¡°As soon as we approached, they detected us and immediately pursued us.¡±


    ¡°Rao Dao is dead.¡±


    ¡°I am trying to escape, requesting support! Support!¡± Tavares¡¯s face showed a hint of madness.


    The color drained from everyone¡¯s faces.


    Rao Dao, a Flying Heaven Warrior from Xia Country, had been in the Mingxu Star Realm for less than half a year, and he had died?


    ¡°Postpone the general offensive plan, delay it indefinitely.¡±


    ¡°Leave the Flying Heaven-level forces to guard, the rest will follow me,¡± Yu Jinghe said gravely.


    Yu Jinghe turned and left.


    Soon after, a large group of Flying Heaven-level forces transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, rushing towards the direction of area 67.


    ¡­


    August 18th.


    World within Worlds, Hall of Inheritance, within that mysterious hall,


    ¡°Boom~¡± The entire hall trembled faintly, as Gu You waited with a smile on her face.


    She knew, Li Yuan had begun to make headway in the Refinement process.


    ¡°The Hall of Inheritance? So that¡¯s it!¡± Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform, slowly opened his eyes.

    Chapter 498: Chapter 298: Strength Transformation! Return (Extra 20)


    ¡°Contact Li Yuan?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s face showed a hint of anxiety, her heart filled with concern, ¡°Can¡¯t get in touch with him? What¡¯s happened to him?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that he¡¯s in danger,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said, ¡°Half a month ago, Li Yuan sent a message, applying to use¡­¡±


    San Ye Semi Divine quickly detailed the sequence of events and the full situation to Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°In fact, ten days ago he sent a message saying that he was in seclusion within ¡®World within Worlds¡¯, and that there was no longer any need for the stone chamber, allowing us to arrange for others to enter as we saw fit.¡± San Ye Semi Divine continued, ¡°But since then, we still haven¡¯t been able to contact him¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Lin Lanyue¡¯s hanging heart was put at ease, already understanding the reason.


    ...


    Li Yuan was in ¡®World within Worlds¡¯, but out of contact.


    Then, the likelihood was that he had returned to the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine, is there something important that requires contacting him urgently?¡± Lin Lanyue asked directly.


    In Lin Lanyue¡¯s view, since Li Yuan had returned to the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance Hall, it must be for an important matter.


    Why the rush to find him?


    ¡°It¡¯s not that we are in a hurry, it¡¯s just that the war in Mingxu Star Realm has reached a critical juncture, and his participation is needed,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said to Lin Lanyue, not exerting the pressure of a Semi Divine, but rather treating her almost as an equal.


    San Ye Semi Divine was aware of Lin Lanyue¡¯s circumstances.


    Her strength and talent didn¡¯t seem too dazzling, even less so than same-age peers like Tian Dazhuang and Dantai Feng, but the powerful bloodline she carried within her meant her future potential was almost that of a Semi Divine.


    Furthermore, Lin Lanyue was a disciple of a Divine Being.


    For various reasons, Lin Lanyue¡¯s actual status was extremely high, just like Li Yuan¡­ Her real situation was kept secret, known only to a few Semi Divines, and almost no one else.


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm wants Li Yuan to participate in the war?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Even Yu Jinghe can only struggle to hold on in the battle, can Li Yuan really turn the tide if he goes?¡±


    The direness of the war in Mingxu Star Realm had long spread throughout Martial Divine Star Realm, and naturally, Lin Lanyue was aware of it.


    ¡°Lanyue.¡±


    ¡°You just need to return to ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ and tell Li Yuan the situation¡­ he will naturally understand,¡± San Ye Semi Divine was not willing to reveal too much: ¡°The sooner, the better.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Lanyue answered, though with some hesitation in her heart, she ultimately agreed.


    She was also worried about Xia Country in her heart.


    In the war of Mingxu Star Realm, Xia Country was the one facing the brunt and paying the greatest price.


    After cutting the communication.


    ¡°The war in Mingxu Star Realm is so perilous, I¡¯ve heard that a whole batch of Flying Heaven Warriors have died, and several top talents from Seven Star Mountain have fallen,¡± Lin Lanyue thought to herself, ¡°But according to San Ye Semi Divine, once Li Yuan arrives, he would be able to lift the siege?¡±


    ¡°Has Li Yuan become that strong?¡±


    Suddenly, Lin Lanyue thought of a possibility, and a flash of shock crossed her bright eyes: ¡°Could it be?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is the Spirit Gun?¡±


    Within the entire Seven Star Civilization, if there was someone who still had hopes of reversing the situation in the battle of Mingxu Star Realm, Lin Lanyue could only think of Spirit Gun.


    ¡­


    In ¡®World within Worlds,¡¯ within the Hall of Inheritance¡¯s Hundred Battles Arena.


    Hundred Battles Arena.


    From the outside, the entire Hundred Battles Arena was not more than a hundred meters in length and width.


    But being inside, it was quite vast, with a minimum diameter of three kilometers, and the maximum range could reach up to ten kilometers, which involved the use of Space Law in a very profound way.


    Today.


    Li Yuan, like the past few days, was once again in the Hundred Battles Arena, sparring and fighting against many Golden Armored Warriors.


    He set all his opponents to level 30, with skills and enlightenment set to the Sixth Stage.


    A total of twenty Golden Armored Warriors.


    Boom! The battle was fierce beyond compare.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A total of six Li Yuans, each being five meters tall, turned into streaks of light weaving and flickering within the multiple layers of Earth¡¯s aura. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Each one moved at extreme speed.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Stop him.¡± Those Golden Armored Warriors, too, were extremely fierce in their speed and ferocious in their attacks, repeatedly trying to team up and land a hit on Li Yuan, but were easily dodged by his shimmering Phantom Body.


    The domains activated by these Golden Armored Warriors did not belong to one another and instead, were completely suppressed by Li Yuan¡¯s domain.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!¡± Streaks of enigmatic and ruthlessly fierce Spear Light swept across the Vast Sky, possessing both speed and attacking power, easily piercing through the vital spots of the Golden Armored Warriors¡¯ bodies.


    One by one they fell.


    Like a leisurely walk in the park, in just a few minutes, all twenty ¡®ordinary Flying Heaven¡¯ Golden Armored Warriors had been slain by Li Yuan.


    It was a completely one-sided battle.


    The entire arena returned to calm, hiss~ countless golden mists rose, again forming the shape of a Golden Armored Warrior without any weapons.


    ¡°Congratulations, young master, your strength has progressed compared to yesterday,¡± the Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile, ¡°You probably have broken through to the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage in the True Meaning of Earth.¡±


    ¡°Number One, your perceptive abilities are indeed extraordinary,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, as he stowed his Long Spear.


    During his time in the Hall of Inheritance.


    At first, Li Yuan had been in Concealed Cultivation within the Divine Crystal Chamber, and after ten-plus days with a massive influx of Earth Origin Crystal Energy, he had finally succeeded in advancing the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Second Order Limit.


    The Earth Origin Crystals consumed had also exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s initial expectations.


    If one were to cultivate using Earth Origin Crystals, probably two whole pieces would be necessary, which meant using Earth Origin Crystals worth 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    Luckily!


    The Divine Crystal Chamber was free to use, although the efficiency of cultivation was much lower, but Li Yuan didn¡¯t mind spending a little extra time.


    After cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the pinnacle of the Second Order, and when running his Star Meridian, Li Yuan noticed the potency of having trained the Supreme Star Technique to the Second Order Limit¡­ it improved his sensitivity to the fluctuations of earth¡¯s Mystery within the world by a significant margin.


    Many of the previous confusions in Spear Technique were almost effortlessly resolved when Li Yuan re-contemplated and reflected on them.

    Chapter 499: Chapter 298: Strength Transformation! Return (Extra 20)_2


    ¡°`


    Constant breakthroughs.


    It¡¯s worth noting that at the beginning of July, when bidding farewell to Lie Feng Semi Divine and returning to Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan felt he was not far from making a breakthrough with the True Meaning of Earth.


    In the past two months, he had been working hard on his cultivation.


    The transformation of his Star Technique today! It finally caused Li Yuan to burst forth completely, and in just a few short days, he pushed the True Meaning of Earth, which was on the edge of breakthrough, to Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage.


    His overall strength naturally increased.


    ...


    ¡°The breakthrough of the True Meaning of Earth is just the beginning, the combination of the mysteries of earth and wind only increased the power by thirty percent,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After such long cultivation practice, Li Yuan had discovered that once the True Intent was condensed for both earth and wind mysteries, their combined power transformed¡­ but beyond that, no matter which type of True Intent continued to break through, the combined power of the mysteries would hardly change qualitatively.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s judgment.


    ¡°Once both True Intents reach the level of laws, and combine again, the power of my Spear Technique will surge once more,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°For now, however, I can only progress slowly.¡±


    Of course, he was extremely satisfied with the speed of his skills¡¯ improvement. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The skill level of Flying Heaven Peak warriors is generally at the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage, with a few at the High Rank. Perfection of the Sixth Stage is at the level of a Demigod,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°And me?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts stirred, and at his fingertips, two streams of air flow seemed to chase each other, faintly merging into one.


    ¡°After the mysteries are combined, although it¡¯s still not on par with Perfection of the Sixth Stage, it should be considered the pinnacle among the High Rank techniques of the Sixth Stage,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The gap from High Rank techniques of the Sixth Stage to Perfection of the Sixth Stage was still very large and extremely difficult to bridge.


    A vast number of Flying Heaven Peak Martial Artists are trapped at this step.


    ¡°The Star Garment has also been initially nurtured successfully, with a Spiritual Imprint branded, allowing it to exert part of its power,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved.


    In an instant, his body was enveloped in a layer of black battle garment, and his life¡¯s aura underwent a noticeable change.


    The Star Garment was the Semi Divine Level Battle Garment that Gu You had given to him.


    Because the core of the battle garment contained the fluctuations of the mysteries of the Earth Vein, it was named ¡®Star¡¯ by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Now.¡±


    ¡°If I encounter Dean Hai again, and put forth my full effort, I should be able to protect myself,¡± a slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuan¡¯s mouth.


    Dean Hai is a 34-Level Flying Heaven Martial Artist, extremely powerful, and before the great battle in Rob Sea Star Realm, Dean Hai effortlessly defeated Li Yuan using his Domain Star Technique.


    But today¡¯s Li Yuan, compared to himself during the Rob Sea Battle, had greatly enhanced his overall strength.


    Suddenly.


    Buzz~ Countless rays of light converged, and a white-clothed figure appeared out of thin air in the void.


    ¡°War God Gu You,¡± Number One greeted with respect.


    ¡°Sister,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up as well, having been in secluded cultivation by himself for over ten days, Gu You had not shown herself.


    The young girl had a smile on her face.


    Though she seldom appeared, she had been quietly observing Li Yuan, and his rate of progress had indeed astonished her.


    Especially after cultivating the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± to the Second Order Limit, he quickly broke through to the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage¡­ This speed of cultivation was enough to make countless geniuses feel out of their depth.


    ¡°Little brother,¡±


    ¡°The named disciple ¡®Lin Lanyue¡¯ chosen by Xiao Huo has arrived,¡± the girl spoke softly, ¡°She¡¯s looking for you.¡±


    ¡°Lanyue? Looking for me?¡± Li Yuan was slightly startled, instantly realizing, ¡°The great battle of the Mingxu Star Realm has come?¡±


    Li Yuan originally planned to cultivate for a month before returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    After all, once back in the Martial Divine Star Realm, it would not be appropriate to make casual use of the Hall of Inheritance.


    He didn¡¯t expect Lin Lanyue to arrive so quickly.


    ¡­


    The True Phoenix Divine, Hall of Inheritance.


    Whew!


    In the vast hall teeming with fiery red, a black-clothed figure appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Lanyue,¡± the young man in black looked toward the distant woman in a fiery red robe, revealing a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward, ¡°Are you alright?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°What¡¯s up? Is it about the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Swiftly, Lin Lanyue recounted the situation of the Mingxu Star Realm to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the battle is now fierce, and according to what I learned from the elders of Flame City before I left, it seems that the native Flying Heaven warriors of the Mingxu Star Realm are already counterattacking,¡± Lin Lanyue said. ¡°In the Tianliang Civilization, a good number of Flying Heaven-level warriors have emerged, and several are Flying Heaven Warriors who have broken through from Prime Warriors¡­ It seems there¡¯s the shadow of the Myriad Demons Civilization behind this.¡±


    ¡°True Intent Flying Heaven powerhouses?¡± A trace of solemnity flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Normally, among the many Second Level Star Realms, those who are permanent residents at the Flying Heaven Level are generally warriors at Fifth Stage Perfection who have broken through¡­ Their potential is limited, and they almost certainly cannot become a Demigod in the future.


    But Prime Warriors of True Intent? Each of them can be considered geniuses, all with the potential of a Demigod.


    Therefore, such talents are not easily allowed to break through to the Flying Heaven Realm and stay permanently in the Second Level Star Realms.


    However, evidently, either the Tianliang Civilization or the Myriad Demons Civilization behind it is continuously raising the stakes, investing more resources.


    ¡°In that case, it¡¯s time for me to join the battle,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you really a Spirit Gun?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    Lin Lanyue had already understood the answer, her heart jolting.


    ¡°Fine, Lanyue, since you¡¯ve come back, you might as well cultivate for a few more days in the Hall of Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°When I return from the Mingxu Star Realm, we shall meet again in the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be off then.¡±


    ¡°Be careful,¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help saying, her eyes full of concern.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Whoosh!


    Waves of ripples emanated from Li Yuan¡¯s figure, and he had already vanished from the temple.


    ¡­


    In the dim void, this is the heart of World within Worlds.


    ¡°Retract!¡± With a thought, Li Yuan fully engaged the Hall of Inheritance, and the colossal sphere in the void, covered with thick earthen yellow streams, began to shrink.


    From a towering thousand meters, it swiftly shrank to a hundred meters, ten meters, one meter.


    Until it finally became a speck in the palm of Li Yuan¡¯s hand, virtually undetectable by the naked eye.


    This was the Hall of Inheritance, its true name being ¡®Ancient Divine Palace.¡¯


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh¡ªa streak of light flickered, forming the figure of a girl in white next to Li Yuan.


    It¡¯s Gu You.


    ¡°Sister,¡± Li Yuan was startled, ¡°Why have you come out?¡±


    ¡°To say goodbye to an old friend,¡± the girl said with a smile, her gaze falling into the distance, where countless fires converged in the void.


    Eventually, they formed the figure of a child in a fiery red robe.


    ¡°Sister Gu You, you¡¯re finally able to leave. You¡¯ve waited so long for this day. Both the master and the Ancient Torch Divine, if they knew, would surely be happy,¡± the child looked at Gu You, with a flicker of excitement in his eyes, and then a hint of loneliness, ¡°It¡¯s just regrettable that I can¡¯t go with you.¡±


    Clearly, this child in the fiery red robe is the ¡®Boundary Spirit¡¯ of World within Worlds.


    ¡°Xiao Huo!¡±


    ¡°Lin Lanyue¡¯s talent and determination are good, there¡¯s hope for you to break free,¡± the girl said with a smile. ¡°Your sister will be waiting for you in the outside world.¡±


    The relationship between Gu You and the Boundary Spirit is evidently quite close; for tens of thousands of years, they have been like kin to each other.


    ¡­


    Taking the Hall of Inheritance, he left the heart of World within Worlds.


    A day later, Li Yuan had already arrived from Feixing to ¡®Jiangnan Province¡¯ in Blue Star Xia Country.

 Chapter 500 - 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 500: Chapter 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    The height of summer was drawing to a close.


    Jiangnan Province, one of the most prosperous provinces of Xia Country, had a dreamlike charm in the misty rain of summer, yet it also bore a hint of sweltering heat.


    In the void, Li Yuan stood quietly, looking down at the lotus flowers in the pond below.


    Droplets of rain fell, striking the surface of the pond and rippling outward.


    This was an ancient town.


    ¡°Buzz~ Buzz~¡± Countless droplets of rain falling nearby, even before they could approach Li Yuan, instantly evaporated, creating an area around him that spanned three meters and seemed like a forbidden zone.


    ...


    However, the invisible distortion of light made many pedestrians in the ancient town below completely oblivious to this eerie scene playing out overhead.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan slightly turned his head, his gaze drawn to the distance.


    Through the hazy, thin rain, a distortion of light occurred and then returned to normal.


    A man in black clothing, appearing to be about thirty years old, emerged; his aura was restrained, but a sharpness could still be felt.


    ¡°[Target individual, Life Level 36.9]¡± Li Yuan, having deployed Divine Palace Inquiry, thought to himself: ¡°As expected, the principal is just a Six Star Pulse.¡±


    The last time he met Fang Hai, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level had not been high enough, and Divine Palace Inquiry could only determine that Fang Hai was at least a Six Star Pulse.


    Now it was confirmed.


    The Seven Star Veins were nearly mythical in many civilizations; even someone with the talents of Fang Hai had not reached it.


    Huh!


    Fang Hai had already approached Li Yuan.


    ¡°Principal.¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.


    ¡°It¡¯s only been a little over a year, but your realm has indeed become remarkably high. I hadn¡¯t even come close, and you detected me.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, revealing a slight smile, ¡°You truly deserve the title of ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ the first Prime Warrior of the civilization; it probably won¡¯t be too long before you surpass me.¡±


    ¡°The principal jests.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    To catch up with Fang Hai, Li Yuan estimated that it would take him at least five years or even more.


    After all, he himself was making progress.


    But with the principal, Fang Hai¡¯s talent, his strength was also advancing rapidly.


    ¡°The great war in the Mingxu Star Realm, I originally didn¡¯t want to involve you, considering your prominence. Once you join the battle, the Myriad Demons Civilization will surely target you,¡± Fang Hai sighed, ¡°Moreover, your talent and potential have probably not yet reached the limit of a Prime Warrior. You still have room to grow.¡±


    ¡°The casualties are just too great,¡± he continued.


    ¡°If you do not participate, we might have to consider retreating, and by then, all four major bases might be destroyed. If we rebuild them in the future, the cost will be greater.¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I understand, Principal.¡± Li Yuan said calmly.


    On the way from Fierce Feather Star Realm, Li Yuan had already gotten a rough understanding of the battle situation. Two of the original four major bases had been breached, and many new war bases, forward bases¡­ had also been mostly destroyed.


    In fact, the only ones still maintaining stability were the original Base 3 and Base 4.


    Even the Flying Serpent Valley Base, which had been established because of Li Yuan, had been mostly destroyed.


    The total number of casualties had reached hundreds of thousands!


    Just the number of Martial Artists who died was staggering¡­ of course, both Tianliang Civilization and the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm suffered heavy losses too.


    ¡°The enemy will not wait for my strength to reach its limit before waging war. We can only work hard to cultivate,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°and be ready to join the fight at any time.¡±


    ¡°Actually, we of the high command have discussed it; many demigods believe that inciting the great war in the Mingxu Star Realm was a mistake. We should have expanded progressively, avoiding conflict with Tianliang Civilization,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°We should have waited for the best opportunity.¡±


    ¡°If Tianliang Civilization made the same choice as us, that would have been fine, preventing any provocation of the native life,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°but we could not do that.¡±


    ¡°This is a struggle for civilization¡¯s living space. We cannot trust each other, both wanting to expand as quickly as possible to establish an advantage and then lock down each other¡¯s Star Realm entrances.¡±


    ¡°The treasures that might be contained within Ming Mountain are worth fighting for,¡± Li Yuan continued, ¡°The only mistake is that we all underestimated the native forces.¡±


    According to the intelligence Li Yuan had received, the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm had already identified hundreds of Flying Heaven Level beings¡­ a seemingly small number given the vast territory of Mingxu Star Realm.


    But one must know, within Mingxu Star Realm, there was no unified civilization with a heritage.


    Instead, there were many Exotic Beast Tribes each fighting their own battles.


    Most of their cultivation relied on bloodlines and instincts, so having so many Flying Heaven Level beings was quite remarkable.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Fang Hai sighed softly, ¡°Back when Mingxu Star Realm was a First Level Star Realm, we couldn¡¯t delve too deep to investigate, leading to an underestimation of the native forces.¡±


    ¡°Now, it all depends on you,¡± he concluded.


    ¡°Without you, the higher-ups might have already considered giving up on Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai said shaking his head, ¡°However, you and others will face a drastically increased risk of falling in such a fierce battle.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°Principal.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Each generation has its own responsibilities.¡±


    ¡°If our native civilization were invaded, we would have to rely on you, the principal, and the Alliance Hierarch and other demigods,¡± Li Yuan stated.


    ¡°But as for interstellar wars, it¡¯s up to us to see them through.¡±


    ¡°When you were a Prime Warrior, Principal, you too, as the civilization¡¯s first Prime Warrior, dominated many Star Realms. Didn¡¯t the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization regard you as a thorn in their side? Did they not try to assassinate you multiple times?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    With his current level of access, Li Yuan was entitled to know many of the deeds from Fang Hai¡¯s rise.


    ¡°Lude Nef fought in the Rob Sea Star Realm and wreaked havoc in the Fierce Feather Star Realm; without him and Yu Jinghe battling desperately, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to wrest control of the World within Worlds from the Immortal Ruins Civilization so easily,¡± Li Yuan explained, ¡°Big Brother Yu has supported the conflict in Mingxu Star Realm for over a year as well.¡±

 Chapter 501 - 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    Chapter 501: Chapter 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s my turn to shoulder the load,¡±


    ¡°As the first Prime Warrior of the civilization, deciding the fate of the entire Star Realm¡¯s war is my responsibility, as well as an honor,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s also the ideal I had when I was younger.¡±


    The ideal he had when he was younger? Fang Hai was taken aback upon hearing this.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan pointed towards the ancient town below, ¡°Principal, I remember this old town used to be quite bustling, but now it seems there are hardly any tourists.¡±


    Fang Hai looked down.


    Within the haze of the misty rain,


    ...


    the town that was always lively and prosperous throughout the year was indeed scarcely populated now.


    In the past year, during the all-out war in the Mingxu Star Realm, the entire Xia Country had entered a state of total mobilization¡­ Even the home front was far from peace.


    Huge amounts of supplies and manpower had been poured into the Star Realm.


    At this moment, Fang Hai understood that Li Yuan truly wished to take part in this battle from the bottom of his heart.


    ¡°Li Yuan, take this.¡± Fang Hai flipped his palm open.


    Within his palm emerged a silver Battle Garment, radiating faint, mysterious fluctuations.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense perception, the silver Battle Garment didn¡¯t even seem to exist.


    ¡°Is this the ¡®Phantom Spirit Garment¡¯ that the Alliance Hierarch recently mentioned to me?¡± Curiosity flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Why was he here waiting for Fang Hai?


    It was to wait for Fang Hai to retrieve this treasure from Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Try to bind it to yourself first,¡± Fang Hai waved his hand.


    The silver Battle Garment in his palm immediately flew toward Li Yuan.


    With a thought, Li Yuan manipulated the forces of heaven and earth, causing the silver Battle Garment to descend in front of him.


    He reached out to touch it!


    ¡°Sizzle~¡± Li Yuan quickly imprinted his Spiritual Mark on the Battle Garment, and immediately, Origin Power followed his fingertips, surging into the garment and completing the bonding process.


    Whoosh~


    With a thought, the thin-as-cicada-wing Battle Garment, like flowing water, merged into Li Yuan¡¯s arm, becoming one with his flesh.


    Instantly, in Li Yuan¡¯s perception, the silver Battle Garment had transformed into streams of silver power that penetrated every part of his body.


    The next moment,


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s entire body was faintly enveloped by the silver Battle Garment, and he suddenly grew taller by a bit, with his facial features undergoing noticeable changes.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan¡¯s life essence and soul aura both underwent a subtle transformation.


    If the aura Li Yuan exuded before was balanced and harmonious,


    then now, his whole body emitted a cold air, as if pushing people thousands of miles away.


    Coldness!


    A complete change of persona.


    ¡°Haha, the Phantom Spirit Garment is indeed powerful,¡± Fang Hai revealed a smile, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t watched you change with my own eyes, I could hardly imagine that you are actually Li Yuan.¡±


    Li Yuan was also quite amazed in his heart, ¡°Principal, this ¡®Phantom Spirit Garment¡¯ is so miraculous, perfectly merging into my flesh, making the aura of my life and soul completely turn into another person.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, it doesn¡¯t affect my use of a real protective Battle Garment.¡± Li Yuan thought again, activating the Star Garment.


    A layer of black Battle Garment emerged, completely enveloping Li Yuan and emitting an even more majestic aura.


    Normally, only one protective Battle Garment could be used, but Li Yuan was now using the Star Garment and the Phantom Spirit Garment together without any issue.


    ¡°The Phantom Spirit Garment looks like a Battle Garment, but at its core, it¡¯s actually an auxiliary treasure,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°This was specially obtained for you by the Alliance Hierarch not long ago. It can conceal your soul aura while emitting a different soul aura.¡±


    ¡°After all, there are quite a few Flying Heaven Level who have seen you, and if it were merely a disguise in appearance, it wouldn¡¯t mean much and could easily be distinguished,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Moreover, people like Yan Jing and Lin Yue who know the true identity of the Spirit Gun, have been repeatedly warned¡­ They won¡¯t leak your secret.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Actually, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists could quite easily change their appearance¡­ but for top-level powerhouses to conceal themselves was almost impossible.


    Why?


    Because of the soul aura!


    Flying Heaven powerhouses, sensed with Divine Sense, would naturally remember each other¡¯s soul aura.


    No matter how much the appearance changes, it is very difficult to conceal the soul.


    ¡°Li Yuan, with the Phantom Spirit Garment, you now have another identity¡ª¡±Spirit Gun,¡±¡± said Fang Hai.


    ¡°So, there¡¯s no need to worry about being exposed.¡±


    ¡°But remember, the Phantom Spirit Garment only conceals you up to the Semi Divine Level,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°If the enemy¡¯s spiritual power reaches the Semi Divine Level¡­ they may be able to discern your disguise.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    No treasure is invincible, and such auxiliary treasures naturally have a limit to their power.


    However, within the Mingxu Star Realm, there likely were no Semi Divine Level powerhouses, and even within the Seven Star Civilization, the chances of a Flying Heaven Level breaking through to the Semi Divine Level were low.


    As for a Flying Heaven Level having a Semi Divine Level soul? Almost impossible!


    ¡°Go ahead,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said with a light sigh, ¡°You have an extremely strong ability to survive, but in this battle¡­ I don¡¯t expect you to win, just to cover the retreat of the various teams to the third and fourth bases, and ultimately hold these two strategic points. That would be a victory.¡±


    ¡°As for competing for the final treasure¡­ we must see what opportunities arise.¡± Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Remember, survival is the number one priority. If things are truly beyond salvage, then just retreat straight through the passage back to Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, feeling Fang Hai¡¯s expectation and a touch of worry for him.


    This was a side of Fang Hai that he rarely showed in the past.


    ¡°Compared to the Alliance Hierarch, the principal seems to have more of a human touch,¡± Li Yuan silently thought to himself.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan turned around and swiftly transformed into a beam of light, disappearing in the misty fine rain.


    Fang Hai, standing in the void, watched the direction in which Li Yuan had vanished, appearing somewhat lost in thought.

    Chapter 502: Chapter 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°Back then,¡±


    ¡°when I delved into the ¡®Nine Leaves Star Realm¡¯,¡± Fang Hai sighed silently, ¡°my teacher came to send me off, probably with the same feelings.¡±


    Fang Hai had not given Li Yuan specific guidance on cultivation.


    But he had indeed watched Li Yuan grow up every step of the way, and he was full of expectations for Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ...


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan merged with heaven and earth, his presence perfectly concealed by the Phantom Spirit Garment, speeding towards that War Fortress.


    ¡°Little brother, the leader of your civilization is indeed impressive, even managing to obtain ¡®Phantom Divine Garments¡¯ for many subordinates in the Dimensional River¡ªa thing many great powers struggle to do,¡± a voice like heavenly music rose in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Phantom Divine Garment?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    It was Gu You¡¯s voice.


    She was in the Ancient Divine Palace, yet she could sense the nearby area.


    ¡°In the Dimensional River, there are many treasures like this. Many strong individuals use similar items to conceal their identities when traveling outside,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmitted, ¡°The Phantom Spirit Garment you¡¯re using is the lowest grade in the Phantom Divine Garment series, meant for Demigods and those of lower status in the mortal world.¡±


    ¡°But being of low grade doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s cheap, because a higher grade one wouldn¡¯t be usable by you anyway.¡±


    ¡°What I find strange is,¡±


    ¡°The Phantom Spirit Garment on you is exactly the same as one I¡¯ve seen before, very much like those mass-produced treasures¡­ I wonder how Dongfang Ji got hold of it,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmitted.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was quite shocked.


    The same?


    If its function is similar, it¡¯s easy to understand¡­ but mass-produced, that significance is completely different, too coincidental.


    Was it something Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji got by accident, or could there be other possibilities?


    And thinking of the Martial God Inheritance.


    In any case, Gu You¡¯s casual remark sparked many conjectures in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Not long after.


    Li Yuan had already rushed to the War Fortress he had arrived at one and a half years ago¡­ but the entire base had completely changed in appearance.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m about to enter the Exterior Dimensional Star Realm, you should wait for me here,¡± Li Yuan transmitted.


    In the Exterior Dimensional Star Realm, the Ancient Divine Palace could come and go freely if carried by Li Yuan.


    Once it became ownerless, the Ancient Divine Palace would be suppressed again.


    This was one of the invisible rules of the Star Realm.


    ¡°Mhm.¡±


    ¡°Little brother, I know you¡¯re your civilization¡¯s top genius, with your responsibilities¡­¡± Gu You¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°but I hope you also remember, you¡¯re all I have, little brother.¡±


    ¡°Sister has waited for you for ten thousand years, you must come back alive.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart warmed, and he smiled in response, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely come back alive. I will truly take control of the Ancient Divine Palace in the future.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, heading towards the War Fortress below that had gone through crazy expansion.


    Humm~ A nondescript speck of dust flew out, hovering in the kilometer-high sky.


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°This Seven Star Civilization might contain great secrets.¡±


    ¡°Previously trapped within the Fierce Feather Star Realm, unable to learn more, now I am finally free.¡± The girl with bare feet stood in the hall.


    Beneath her, stood hundreds of figures.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Delve into the entire Blue Star; I want to gather plenty of information on the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the girl spoke softly, ¡°At least, pave the way for Li Yuan¡¯s growth.¡±


    ¡°Understand his parent civilization.¡±


    ¡°If the top echelons of this civilization threaten Li Yuan in the future, we will be better prepared to respond.¡±


    ¡°Remember, don¡¯t reveal yourselves, just gather information for now,¡±


    ¡°Yes! War God!¡± the hundreds of figures responded in unison below.


    Li Yuan never knew that by taking the Ancient Divine Palace out, he had unleashed a monster¡­ There was a reason Gu You was revered by many as the War God.


    Back then, Gu You followed the Ancient Torch Divine¡¯s side, commanding many planets.


    Countless beings trembled under her iron fist and brutality.


    The true depth of the Ancient Divine Palace was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s imagination.


    ¡­


    Below, deep within the huge War Fortress.


    Several Flying Heaven Warriors had already received orders, waiting at the entry point of the Star Realm.


    When Li Yuan arrived, clad in a black Battle Garment exuding an extremely cold aura,


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, welcome,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors greeted warmly.


    They were curious about this legendary ¡®Prime Warrior¡¯ of civilization.


    ¡°Yun senior,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°don¡¯t waste time, the battle situation is urgent, better to open the passage and let me through at once.¡± S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s our fault,¡± the leading Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun gave a bitter smile, turning his head and shouting immediately, ¡°Open the passage right now!¡±


    Rumble~


    The majestic metal door nearby creaked open, revealing the Star Realm entry point filled with ripples of light.


    This Star Realm entry point had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to when Li Yuan last saw it.


    Wider, and taller.


    At a glance, Li Yuan could see that both the width and the height must have exceeded 500 meters.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a ray of light, entering the ripple of light unobstructed.


    Quickly vanishing from the senses of the group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Such arrogance.¡±


    ¡°We are also Flying Heaven Warriors, greeted with a smile, and yet he reprimands us.¡±


    ¡°He really didn¡¯t give us any face,¡± the few Flying Heaven Warriors murmured quietly.


    ¡°Shut up,¡±


    the Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun frowned and reprimanded in a low voice, ¡°Spirit Gun is here to fight. Others have rushed here from Feixing, we stay in the rear without having to face the risk of death in battle, should we still speak ill of them?¡±


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors immediately fell silent.


    In terms of status, Flying Heaven Warrior Yun was the highest among them.


    ¡°Spirit Gun has arrived.¡±


    ¡°This is our civilization¡¯s last trump card,¡± Yun, the Flying Heaven Warrior, sighed lightly, ¡°Let¡¯s hope he can win, otherwise¡­¡±

    Not long after passing through the channel, sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the other end, at the ¡°Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s Number Three Outpost Base¡±.


    Of course, the name here had already changed to ¡°Bright Moon Base¡±.


    This was the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s main base in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Swoosh!


    ...


    As Li Yuan flew out from the entrance and into the high sky,


    he quickly found that, compared to just over a year ago, the whole base had undergone earth-shattering changes.


    The base had become extremely expansive, akin to a medium-sized city, and looked more like a super-large munitions factory, with numerous aircraft floating in the sky, their surfaces mostly streaming with light, signifying they could depart at any moment.


    The most eye-catching feature was the 200-meter diameter flying saucer fighter jet, floating in the sky above the center of the base.


    As Li Yuan arrived,


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Nearly ten figures flew out of a huge flying saucer fighter jet in the center of the base,


    flying directly towards him to meet him.


    That they could fly left no doubt that they were either Flying Heaven Warriors or True Intent Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve finally arrived.¡± There was a hint of joy on their faces, but among them, one person looked somewhat puzzled.


    Li Yuan was entirely clad in a black battle garment, his face completely obscured.


    ¡°Luo Chan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was icy as he called out to the black-clothed woman who was leading the group.


    It was Luo Chan!


    She was one of the three ¡°commanders¡± of the Bright Moon Base in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    However, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Luo Chan¡¯s face as a voice rang directly in her mind: ¡°Luo Chan, it¡¯s Li Yuan. I¡¯m just disguising my identity, don¡¯t be alarmed.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Luo Chan immediately communicated back, her Flying Heaven Level soul sensing the difference in Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura.


    In fact, she had already received the directive regarding ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± aware that the other party would be in disguise.


    Yet, Luo Chan never imagined the disguise would be so convincingly real.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, this is Tavares.¡±


    ¡°This is Luan Mu.¡±


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Luo Chan introduced each one to Li Yuan in turn.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors and True Intent Prime Warriors also curiously observed Li Yuan.


    ¡°This is Li Yang, who has just recently broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Luo Chan introduced the last large and sturdy man.


    ¡°Hello, Spirit Gun,¡± the robust man said with a smile, displaying considerable humility.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, maintaining a calm exterior.


    But in reality, Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with indescribable emotions.


    This robust man was none other than his college professor, ¡®Li Yang,¡¯ the former ¡®Deputy Dean¡¯ of the Sixth Institute at Kunlun Martial University.


    Just over a year ago, with Li Yuan¡¯s assistance, Li Yang had advanced his skills into Fifth Stage Perfection. Shortly after, he proceeded to Feixing for special training¡­ But Li Yuan had never imagined that Li Yang would end up choosing to break through in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    This choice,


    implied that Li Yang was likely to be trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm forever.


    Making such a choice required courage.


    But Li Yuan couldn¡¯t say much. To his knowledge, over twenty Prime Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization had broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Li Yang was merely one among these many people.


    Compared to the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Mingxu Star Realm was indeed far more valuable and significant.


    ¡°What about Yu Jinghe? Any news?¡± Li Yuan asked with a cold voice, raising the key question.


    Coldness was the persona he had established for Spirit Gun¡ªto keep interactions minimal and maintain his disguise more effectively.


    ¡°Still no news.¡±


    ¡°Since the 24th of August, when Yu Jinghe ventured alone into the ¡®Area 67¡¯ on the outskirts of Ming Mountain, there has been no message back. We can only confirm that he¡¯s still alive but impossible to contact,¡± Luo Chan said with a wry smile: ¡°Soon after, starting from the 27th of August, one of the Three Great Beast Emperors from Ming Mountain, the ¡®Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯, and its myriad Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts began a frenzied assault on us and the Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Our losses are heavy.¡±


    ¡°Many of the peripheral bases have been destroyed by Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    If not for Yu Jinghe going missing, with only a secret treasure confirming his survival, suspected to be trapped deep within Ming Mountain,


    perhaps the high echelons of the Seven Star Alliance would not have hurried to summon him.


    ¡°What about the other Flying Heaven Level forces?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over.


    Based on previous data, the entire Bright Moon Base should have had over twenty Flying Heaven Level forces.


    ¡°Wu Manong and the others are patrolling the periphery, covering for the many teams withdrawing back to the base.¡±

    Chapter 504: Chapter 300 First Move (Additional 21)


    ¡°`


    ¡°Patrolling?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Over the past year, the Seven Star Civilization had been delving deeper into the inquiry of the Mingxu Star Realm, gaining a deeper understanding of the Star Realm and even communicating with many Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    After all, the wisdom of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts is extremely high, and once they have developed Divine Sense, they can easily communicate using Divine Sense, even if they don¡¯t share a common language¡­ Divine Sense is a method of communication more advanced than language.


    By now, the Seven Star Civilization had a rough understanding.


    There were three incredibly powerful Exotic Beast forces in the Mingxu Star Realm or around Ming Mountain.


    ...


    Each force was led by a mighty Beast Emperor: the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    So far, no strong member of the Seven Star Civilization had seen any of the Three Great Beast Emperors, and could only roughly guess that they were at least ¡®Flying Heaven Peak warriors¡¯.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors had never left Ming Mountain up to now.


    In fact, before Yu Jinghe and the others had ventured into Area 67 on the outskirts of Ming Mountain, although the Seven Star Civilization had progressively expanded and started conflicts with the local forces.


    There hadn¡¯t been a large-scale war yet.


    For the past year or so, the Seven Star and Tianliang Civilizations had been killing each other, with the Seven Star Civilization constantly avoiding a great war with the local forces¡­their expansion direction had also been away from Ming Mountain.


    Their goal had been to accumulate strength until they were strong enough, at least after driving out the Tianliang Civilization, to wage war against the many Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts of the local forces.


    Unexpectedly, a devastating strike came.


    Until now, the high-level officials of the Seven Star Civilization were not clear whether the local forces¡¯ sudden large-scale attack was related to the disappearance of Yu Jinghe.


    The recent great war also divided into two stages.


    The first stage was when hundreds of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts under the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor crazily attacked various forward outposts and small war bases established by the two civilizations, resulting in heavy casualties¡­ Many warriors and ordinary people in these bases fled.


    The second stage was many Flying Heaven Level forces from the two civilizations fighting against these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, preventing them from pursuing the many escaping warriors and ordinary people.


    The second stage of the war has continued up to the present.


    ¡°More than a dozen Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts also tried to attack Bright Moon Base before,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°Only, they were deterred by our Fourth-order Battleship.¡±


    ¡°We used the main cannons of the warship to kill two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts and severely injure the most powerful 33rd level Flying Heaven Exotic Beast,¡± Luo Chan pointed to a flying saucer-shaped warship in the distance.


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    A Fourth-order Battleship is the most powerful warship developed by the Seven Star Civilization to this date, usually the mount of a Demigod¡­ for instance, Fang Hai¡¯s ship was actually a Fourth-order Battleship.


    The main cannon of a Fourth-order Battleship is an extremely powerful Origin Power Weapon with astonishing might.


    In theory, a single shot could annihilate a Flying Heaven Peak fighter¡­ but that¡¯s just theory, and in reality, it¡¯s not easy to kill even an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior.


    First of all, there¡¯s the need to charge up!


    A long charge time is necessary, and any Flying Heaven Warrior who isn¡¯t a fool would flee early upon sensing the threat.


    Secondly, once a Flying Heaven Warrior gets close, it¡¯s easy for them to destroy many of the weapons on the outer layer of the warship.


    The key point is, there aren¡¯t many such warships throughout the whole Seven Star Civilization.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, a Fourth-order Battleship had been stationed in each of the four main war bases¡­ yet the first two bases were still overrun, and those two Fourth-order Battleships had to retreat, with one suffering tremendous damage.


    Bright Moon Base could hold its ground only by relying on a large number of Flying Heaven level forces, coupled with a Fourth-order Battleship.


    That¡¯s how they managed to fend off a large number of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts.


    A single Fourth-order Battleship on its own couldn¡¯t stop the onslaught of numerous Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, let alone take the offensive.


    ¡°How many people are out patrolling now?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Fourteen,¡± Luo Chan replied, ¡°We have a total of twenty-two Flying Heaven Level powers, and we rotate.¡±


    ¡°When others are not on patrol, they are responsible for defending Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°Because of a large number of Second Rank Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, there are too many targets in the sky, so we dare not deploy too many flyers.¡±


    ¡°Many people can only form small teams to flee along the ground.¡±


    ¡°Currently, there are tens of thousands of people on the road,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°Our main objective is to hold back the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts and try to kill some flying beasts.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The sheer number of flying Exotic Beasts in the Mingxu Star Realm was the most terrifying thing and a nightmare for a large number of ordinary warriors and civilians.


    Before the local forces counterattacked.


    No one had imagined that Ming Mountain hid so many Second Rank Exotic Beasts and Flying Heaven warriors.


    Many of the peripheral bases, originally intended to be developed into breeding areas and serve as strongholds¡­ under the present all-out war, could only be evacuated.


    ¡°Set my authority to the highest,¡± Li Yuan declared.


    His gaze swept over the people: ¡°At the same time, notify me of any distress signals¡­ and synchronize the positions of the fourteen Flying Heaven Level warriors to me.¡±


    ¡°The main bases have been destroyed, but the message transmission devices there shouldn¡¯t be completely malfunctioning, right?¡±


    ¡°They haven¡¯t malfunctioned yet, but beyond ten thousand kilometers from Bright Moon Base, the signal is intermittent,¡± Luo Chan nodded.


    She quickly began to adjust the authorizations.


    Li Yuan also received the notice.


    ¡°Continue to stay here and follow your previous rotation plan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice cold, ¡°I will act alone and issue orders to you depending on the situation.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Luo Chan said. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    No one had any objections, and as the strongest among them, Spirit Gun naturally had the highest authority.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan shot into the sky, his speed continually soaring, quickly turning into a black streak of light heading towards the distant void.

    ¡°Such incredible speed.¡±


    ¡°His final speed must have exceeded five times the speed of sound.¡±


    ¡°So fast.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, really just a Prime Warrior?¡± Tavares, Li Yang, and this group of Flying Heaven-level warriors were all somewhat shocked.


    Even the few Flying Heaven Martial Artists present couldn¡¯t match Li Yuan¡¯s speed, just in terms of velocity.


    ...


    Before this, they had heard of the Spirit Gun, but in the videos promoted by Xia Country, real combat footage was very scarce.


    The people present had no direct understanding of Li Yuan¡¯s abilities.


    Only Luo Chan was relatively calm; she had personally witnessed Li Yuan in action and knew well how fearsome he was.


    However, she had a vague feeling that Li Yuan¡¯s strength had become even greater than it was during the great battle at Rob Sea.


    ¡­


    In the sky, two suns hung high; at the edge of the land, stood the towering Ming Mountain.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan was flying at an extremely low altitude at high speed.


    Occasionally, with his astonishing vision, he could spot some large battle scenes on the ground.


    Many exotic beast corpses, as well as¡­ human bodies, and occasionally many fallen wrecks of robots and warships could be seen.


    It was extremely brutal.


    ¡°Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    Li Yuan was flying at an incredibly fast speed and soon arrived at the once-visited Flying Serpent Valley.


    It was now a ruin, no longer held by anyone.


    The many wreckages and bodies made Li Yuan¡¯s heart twinge with compassion, and his rage and killing intent grew stronger.


    ¡°According to the message, in the first round of frenzied attacks, they destroyed a large number of bases of ours and the Tianliang Civilization, and most of the local Flying Heaven-level exotic beasts then retreated,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now, it¡¯s mainly Second Rank exotic beasts cutting down the humans attempting to escape.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°First, escort all the humans who have scattered and escaped from the various bases back to the two major bases,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with killing intent. ¡°Then, try to destroy the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s bases¡­ Lastly, once everything is secure, head to Ming Mountain.¡±


    With Yu Jinghe disappearing, Li Yuan was quite anxious in his heart.


    But Li Yuan knew that now was not the time to be rash.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors of Ming Mountain were likely Flying Heaven Peak warriors¡­ Without absolute certainty, rashly entering the core area of Ming Mountain could easily lead to death.


    Ming Mountain was too mysterious.


    Before long, Li Yuan crossed the region of Flying Serpent Valley, about a thousand kilometers away from Bright Moon Base.


    ¡°Hmm? In that direction, 200 kilometers away, there¡¯s a distress signal.¡± Li Yuan was constantly sensing the messages on his smart ring, quickly determining the exact location.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan changed direction, his speed imperceptibly increasing even further and, not bothering to perfectly conceal his aura, he turned into a streak of light and dashed off.


    ¡­


    In the sprawling and undulating vast mountain ranges.


    There were densely packed figures, thousands in number, engaged in fierce combat.


    Among them were figures of human martial artists, as well as a considerable number of mechanical warrior figures.


    Of course, the most numerous were the exotic beasts; hordes of large First Rank exotic beasts, coming from all sides, were wildly attacking these human martial artists.


    These First Rank exotic beasts, each with four sturdy hooves and covered in scales and armor, were incredibly tough. Each one was as fast as lightning, furiously biting and tearing.


    Nearly a hundred human martial artists were desperately holding on.


    In terms of individual strength, these human martial artists far surpassed these exotic beasts, with plenty of fearless mechanical warriors assisting, but nevertheless¡­ there were just too many exotic beasts.


    They were innumerable, seemingly never-ending.


    However, the most ferocious fighters in the whole war were those four Second Rank powerhouses.


    ¡°Roar~~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± Three Second Rank exotic beasts, each over ten meters in length and swift and immensely strong, were fiercely attacking the central human Prime Warrior.


    ¡°`

    ¡°Ah~¡± The burly human Prime Warrior ¡®Nuo Fan¡¯ clad in silver combat armor roared as he swung his combat saber again and again, attempting to kill the three Second Rank exotic beasts.

    ¡°`

    As the battle waged on, not just Nuo Fan, many human martial artists were on the brink of despair.

    ¡°`


    Suddenly!

    Chapter 506: Chapter 301 Kill! Kill! Famous Throughout Blue Star (Extra 22)


    Over the past year and more.


    The Seven Star Civilization underestimated the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm and was occupying the upper hand in the great war with Tianliang Civilization.


    As a result, the Seven Star Civilization established dozens of common bases and hundreds of outposts in the peripheral regions.


    A scene of prosperity.


    However, when numerous Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts that had been hidden in Ming Mountain descended, it spelled disaster.


    Even with many of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven warriors mobilized immediately to fully contain the native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, they couldn¡¯t withstand the onslaught.


    ...


    Both sides suffered casualties, with Prime Warriors wielding True Intent falling, and human Flying Heaven Martial Artists perishing in battle.


    But a large number of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts also fell.


    However, the sheer number of native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, combined with masses of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts,


    from August 29th, under the orders of the highest command, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Martial Artists and civilians in various peripheral bases completely abandoned the expansion achievements of the past year and began a full-scale retreat.


    In actuality, it was a grand escape!


    ¡­


    Fortunately, perhaps the native forces of the Star Realm didn¡¯t wish to fight to the death, or perhaps the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s counterattack, especially the main cannon power of the Fourth-order Battleships, frightened those Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts.


    Together with the strong counterattack from Tianliang Civilization, which also suffered attacks.


    After the Seven Star Civilization began a full retreat, many native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts no longer pursued with relentless attacks.


    Except for a few Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, most have returned to Ming Mountain.


    But just this ¡®few¡¯ Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, plus a massive number of First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, still amount to a nightmare for the tens of thousands of retreating Seven Star human warriors.


    Many human Martial Artists were ambushed and killed, and numerous fleeing groups were decimated.


    People like Wu Manong, Luo Chan, An Yongya, Li Yang, and other stationed Flying Heaven powerhouses.


    While holding onto the last two war bases, they were also constantly patrolling day and night!


    They protected the retreating troops, trying their best to ensure they could safely withdraw to Bright Moon Base, or to another ¡®Ming Heart Base¡¯.


    They were fighting with all their might, yet the situation remained quite dire.


    Facing First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, they could easily kill them.


    But when encountering Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, these human Flying Heaven warriors would find themselves in grave danger¡­ not just one had fallen.


    Therefore, these Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven warriors mostly patrolled in groups of three or even four.


    To rescue others, one must first ensure their own safety.


    ¡­


    Until August 30th.


    The second day the grand retreat plan commenced¡ªSpirit Gun finally arrived.


    This first Prime Warrior of the Seven Star Civilization, less than two months after the great war in Rob Sea Star Realm, once again revealed his terrifying battle power.


    Slay!


    Slay!


    His flying speed far surpassed other flying warriors, reaching an astonishing 1768 meters per second.


    He had no assistants, he was an army of one.


    His power was formidable, he charged unbridled, unconcerned with any possible ambushes.


    In just one day.


    Spirit Gun acted twenty-six times, directly aiding over ten thousand people¡­ the number of First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts he swept through and killed surpassed a hundred thousand.


    A powerful Domain.


    Once he arrived, he could swiftly annihilate hundreds or even thousands of Exotic Beasts with a single thought.


    Whether they were ordinary First Rank Exotic Beasts or powerful Second Rank top-tier Exotic Beasts, all were swept away.


    No one could stop him!


    ¡­


    When news of this battle made its way back to Xia Country, the entire country was shaken, and once again a large-scale publicity campaign was initiated.


    ¡°Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°Incredibly powerful.¡±


    ¡°The first Prime Warrior of the civilization!!¡± The whole Xia Country, and even the entire Blue Star, were trembling, countless people were beyond excited.


    Especially those whose family and friends were trapped in Mingxu Star Realm, they were so moved they wept.


    For in these past few days,


    continuous catastrophic news came from Mingxu Star Realm, one defeat after another, almost bewildering the military and Martial Artists of Xia Country and all nations of Blue Star.


    The horrific casualty numbers could make anyone¡¯s heart tremble.


    Now, with Spirit Gun¡¯s striking emergence, slaying in all directions, it offered countless people hope.


    At least, it offered hope that more people would survive and return.


    ¡­


    Inside Mingxu Star Realm.


    Perhaps it was Li Yuan¡¯s rampant slaughter, or perhaps the native Flying Heaven forces had long premeditated.


    Just as the clock struck August 31st, when Li Yuan once again saved a human team.


    He had not even had the chance to fly far away.


    Two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts suddenly appeared, and the battle of Flying Heaven powers erupted in an instant.


    On the ground.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, definitely core members of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s clan.¡±


    ¡°The one that broke our base was that black snake, it¡¯s definitely him.¡± The human Martial Artist team, who had just been rescued, were frantically fleeing across the wilderness, but they couldn¡¯t help but look towards the sky where the great battle was unfolding.


    They were a mix of excitement, nervousness, and concern.


    Yes! Spirit Gun was indeed powerful, but those were two extremely terrifying Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Could he win?


    ¡°Spirit Gun, you must win,¡± the human Martial Artists all silently prayed.


    ¡­


    Because it was less than 500 kilometers from Bright Moon Base.


    This battle, erupting in view, was precisely captured by a rescue air-space fighter that had come speeding in.


    The live footage was directly transmitted back to the command center at Bright Moon Base.


    Wu Manong, An Yongya, and others, who had returned to rotate off duty to the base, were watching this scene intently.


    ¡°That black snake is at least level 32, but its Star Techniques are too ordinary, it probably can¡¯t be considered mid-Flying Heaven level.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s at least extremely adept at speed, and also at poison.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It was part of the group that besieged Bright Moon Base before, I have fought against it.¡± These powerhouses watched the flickering, somewhat unstable screen projection with heavy tension.


    In the vacuum of space, Li Yuan, looking like a small black dot, was confronting the two massive Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents from a distance.


    Even though they were aware of the power of the Spirit Gun, such a battle still made these mighty martial artists¡¯ blood boil.


    Present at the scene.


    Even the strongest among them, Jiang Zai and Wu Manong, had no confidence in winning against any of the Flying Serpents in a one-on-one fight.


    ¡°The great battle has erupted.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s started!¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is using the Body Refining Star Technique, his speed has surged.¡± Everyone watched, holding their breath.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Unwilling to retreat? Then die,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold.


    He didn¡¯t really want to kill these two Flying Serpents.


    If he were alone, Li Yuan would not fear, but now he was rescuing others.


    From the action of many Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts retreating after destroying a great number of war bases and outposts, Li Yuan, or the high levels of the Seven Star Civilization, could infer that the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had no intention of waging a great war for the time being.


    Therefore, it would be best not to provoke the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor. If they enraged it now and the other side ordered a comprehensive counterattack, Li Yuan would be fine, but the tens of thousands of human martial artists who were still retreating would be in trouble.


    Li Yuan estimated that these two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents before him were likely to have a close relationship with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    Hence, Li Yuan only wanted to drive them away, to make them promise not to intercept human martial artists anymore.


    However, these two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents wouldn¡¯t listen at all and kept eyeing Li Yuan with hostile intent.


    Fully intent on killing Li Yuan.


    ¡°Then go to your death,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold; in these past two days, he had seen too many tragic states of humans, and his desire to kill was heavy.


    The opponents didn¡¯t know what was good for them.


    Therefore, Li Yuan didn¡¯t hold back anymore and directly unleashed his strongest combat power.


    In an instant, his entire being transformed into a five-meter tall figure, his body radiating a hazy divine light. Compared to the nearly hundred-meter-long Flying Serpents, he was no longer a mere speck, and the aura he emitted was even more majestic.


    Boom!


    After using the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan shot toward the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents like lightning.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The black Flying Serpent roared, opening its bloody maw wide and spewing out a terrifying black fog that spread rapidly in all directions, madly enveloping Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hiss~


    The other green Flying Serpent quickly manifested a great amount of water from its massive body, controlling the currents.


    Its enormous wings twisted and swept through the air, like two huge Wing Blades slashing frantically at Li Yuan.


    The two great Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents, although shocked by the terrifying aura the ¡®human Prime Warrior¡¯ had unleashed,


    being accustomed to living as overlords on Ming Mountain and as one of the Three Great Beast Emperor clans,


    were not daunted by their low insight. In their hearts, Second Rank life was absolutely inferior to Third Order life, so naturally, they were not afraid of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Give me.¡±


    ¡°Disperse!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, and he was roaring in his heart.


    In an instant, the vast earthy yellow and green streams combined and swept through, blocking the majority of the black fog outside of the domain.


    As for the remaining bit of poison fog? It couldn¡¯t affect Li Yuan at all, who was wearing the star garment.


    The protective battle garment shielded not just against direct physical attacks but also against toxins, spiritual attacks, and many other aspects.


    All-around protection.


    The protective battle garment forged by the Ancient Torch Divine specifically for his anticipated ¡®successor¡¯ at the Second Rank was naturally extraordinary.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s killing intent soared to the skies as he tightly gripped the Black Chen Spear in his hand, already having pierced through the terrible black fog and engaged in battle with the roaring green Flying Serpent.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The dazzling and terrifying spear light fully erupted, its might so unrivaled that it easily blocked the attack of the green Flying Serpent.


    Following closely, the fearsome spear light swept across the vast sky, directly tearing through the layers of water currents stirred by the green Flying Serpent, and then it directly ripped apart the giant wings of its adversary.


    Countless droplets of blood splattered!!


    ¡°Aaah~~¡±


    The green Flying Serpent raised its head to the sky, letting out a pained roar as it struggled frantically, trying to escape.


    But Li Yuan had it firmly entwined.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The long spear thrust down, its dreadful power bursting forth, instantly leaving terrifying wounds on the body of the green Flying Serpent.


    ¡°In terms of strength, you two combined are not even a match for Wu Sihai who I have defeated,¡± Li Yuan had already realized this.


    In terms of life level, these two Flying Serpents were both at the 32nd level, comparable to Wu Sihai whom he had already slain.


    Their skills¡¯ comprehension was not weak either.


    But!!


    These two Flying Serpents hadn¡¯t deployed any Star Techniques, or maybe the Star Techniques they used were too weak, all subdued, preventing Li Yuan from perceiving them at all.


    ¡°It makes sense.¡±


    ¡°Being trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm for years without much inheritance, and considering that even Third Layer Star Techniques would at least require a powerful Demigod to have a chance of creating,¡± Li Yuan understood this point.


    Star Technique, in essence, was an explosive utilization of the mysteries of heaven and earth, integrated with the body¡¯s Star Meridian and Origin Power.


    It would be necessary to step into the threshold of the laws before having the hope of researching and creating Star Marks, thereby inventing Star Techniques.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    With the Black Chen Spear in hand, aside from not unleashing his Phantom Body, Li Yuan was absolutely putting his all into the attack, striking at his opponent with full force.


    ¡­


    This was undeniably a heart-stirring great battle, making Wu Manong, An Yongya, and the others considerably nervous.


    Especially when the two great Flying Serpents suddenly twisted and cooperated to envelop Li Yuan completely in the center and tried to constrict him, they were even more on edge.


    They worried that Li Yuan would be completely strangled to death.


    The constricting ability of snakes is indeed terrifying!


    But in the next moment.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Suddenly, with a terrible explosive sound, the head of the black Flying Serpent burst open, and a black figure soared into the sky, with snake brain tissue, fresh blood, bone fragments, and flesh scattering everywhere.


    Whew~


    The large body of the black Flying Serpent fell lifelessly towards the earth.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Another spear light tore through the vast sky like lightning, piercing into the already grievously injured eye socket of the green Flying Serpent, instantly breaking through the skull, which was shredded into pulp in an instant.


    The large body of the green Snake followed suit, falling powerlessly as well.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The two giant Flying Heaven-level Flying Serpents fell one after another onto the ground, instantly causing the earth to shake and crack, with countless terrifying airwaves surging in all directions.


    The two great Flying Heaven-level Flying Serpents, dead!!

    ¡°[You have slain a Third Rank creature, obtaining Spiritual Nutrient].¡± A Divine Palace notification flashed by.


    Seeing this scene, the group of human warriors fleeing across the wilderness, as well as people like Wu Manong who were watching the battle through the war machine¡¯s projection, were all quite excited and thrilled.


    We¡¯ve won!


    The Spirit Spear, once again, proved its strength through action.


    A level 32 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast? They had all condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth; even without practicing any formidable Star Techniques, their strength far exceeded that of a normal True Intent Prime Warrior.


    ...


    However, facing the Spirit Spear, two against one, they were all quickly slain in an extremely short time.


    In the void, Li Yuan remained calm.


    If he wasn¡¯t worried about provoking a full-scale war and triggering the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to go on a frenzied killing spree against the fleeing human warriors, Li Yuan would have taken action long ago.


    After all, once a full-scale war erupted, with hundreds of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attacking, Li Yuan¡¯s strength, no matter how formidable, wouldn¡¯t be enough to protect all the fleeing humans.


    ¡°No choice.¡±


    ¡°If they seek death and refuse to retreat, then I can¡¯t hold back, I just hope it doesn¡¯t trigger a war for the time being¡±


    ¡°Wait until all fleeing warriors return to Bright Moon Base, Ming Heart Base.¡± Li Yuan mused in his mind, his eyes flickering with a murderous intent: ¡°Also wait until the ordinary warriors from the two bases have mostly retreated back to Xia Country, then I can take action without any reservations.¡±


    When killing those two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents, Li Yuan didn¡¯t even use his Phantom Body.


    Li Yuan, with the ¡®Shadow Domain¡¯ deployed, was in his strongest state, which was also why he had the confidence to battle the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense swept over the corpses of the two large Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents below, thoroughly investigating them.


    ¡°Hmm? They actually have Storage Treasures? And their flesh and blood fused with body armor? No wonder they were so hard to kill.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, a trace of caution rising in his heart.


    From the Seven Star Civilization records, Li Yuan knew that creating Storage Treasures was extremely difficult; most Demigods couldn¡¯t do it¡­ Typically, Storage Treasures were mass-produced by divine beings.


    How could the native powerhouses of the Mingxu Star Realm possess Storage Magical Treasures?


    Li Yuan, with his powerful spiritual power, rapidly broke through the spiritual imprint on the surface of the Storage Treasure.


    He directly delved inside for a meticulous inquiry.


    All the items inside were left by the black Flying Serpents, not appearing to be remnants from fallen warriors of either the Seven Star or Tianliang Civilizations.


    ¡°These aren¡¯t standardized.¡±


    ¡°They also don¡¯t seem to be Storage Magical Treasures left by fallen warriors of our Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization.¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    Having this Storage Treasure and combining it with the information about the treasure in the depths of Ming Mountain that Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji had conveyed,


    Li Yuan suddenly had many speculations in his mind.


    ¡°First, continue the patrol.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure flickered, and he vanished into the distance as a streak of light.


    ¡­


    When the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents perished,


    Thousands of kilometers away, at the towering Ming Mountain that reached thousands of kilometers high, the mountain range stretched skyward, many valleys between the mountains spanning tens of kilometers wide¡­ If one looked up close, they would feel as if Ming Mountain was an endlessly extending Pillar of Heaven.


    Midway up Ming Mountain, there lie a broad lake, spanning tens of kilometers. On the small island in the center of the lake, a simple and ancient palace was built.


    Many gigantic Flying Serpents lived around the lake, with many exceeding eighty meters in length.


    In the Flying Serpent Clan, a length of over eighty meters typically signified reaching the Flying Heaven Level.


    Here was the dwelling place of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain, and the stronghold of the Flying Serpent royal clan.


    The palace interior was dark and damp, with each corridor exceptionally vast to allow free passage for the Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.


    Within a super-large hall deep in the palace, a huge crystal sphere hovered in the void.


    Within the crystal sphere, many purple dots flickered, densely packed and numbering in the hundreds.


    A massive black serpent, its body coiled, lay there with spread wings, silently resting.


    Suddenly!!


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The crystal sphere above burst out with dazzling red light, followed by waves of light surging outward in all directions.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± The black serpent quickly lifted its head, its cold, snake-like eyes flashing with shock.


    The next moment!


    Whoosh~


    The crystal sphere released countless rays of light, instantly forming a massive screen of light projection on the outside, which displayed the head of a green serpent.


    Atop the green serpent¡¯s head, there was a strikingly noticeable horn, as if piercing the skies.


    ¡°Your Majesty!¡± The black serpent lowered its head, bowing respectfully.


    The green serpent in the projection was none other than one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain¡ªthe Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Hei Guang, the Soul Crystal Ball just alerted me that Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu have died.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke with a deep voice: ¡°And it transmitted their final battle scenes before death.¡±


    Hum~


    The crystal sphere once again emitted light, forming another light screen projection, which revealed Li Yuan in battle against the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.


    The battle proceeded at an extremely fast pace.


    Soon, the projection ended.


    ¡°Such a formidable human.¡± The black serpent was quite shocked: ¡°Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu had both condensed the True Intent of Earth and Water and stepped into the mid-stage of Flying Heaven, yet they were killed so quickly by him?¡±


    ¡°His strength is likely comparable to a level 33, making him one of the strongest human warriors we have encountered so far.¡± The black serpent declared solemnly: ¡°Only that human warrior trapped in the ¡®Divine Land¡¯ can be compared to him.¡±


    ¡°In this war against human forces, how many Beast Kings have fallen?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke slowly.


    ¡°Reporting to Your Majesty, including Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu, a total of eight Flying Heaven Beast Kings have fallen.¡± The black serpent reported respectfully.


    Through the Soul Crystal Ball, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had a clear understanding of the casualties among his Flying Heaven Level subordinates.


    The Soul Crystal Ball is a very special treasure.


    It¡¯s somewhat similar to Gu You¡¯s ¡®Spiritual Lamp¡¯, although its sensing and inquiry range is far less than that of the Spiritual Lamp, it possesses other marvelous uses, allowing the departed to send back images of their last moments before death to the Soul Crystal Ball.

    Thus, it was possible to understand the enemy¡¯s methods.


    ¡°The human who killed Hei Qing, Qing Yanyu, seems to be just a Prime Warrior, yet his potential is terrifying¡­ Pass on his information to other Beast Kings and try to avoid this human Martial Artist as much as possible,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor said.


    ¡°I am currently in the Divine Land with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, hunting down that human Martial Artist. I can¡¯t return for now, so don¡¯t provoke this newly emerged human Martial Artist,¡± the phantom formed by the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke softly, ¡°Now that many of the human civilization¡¯s frontier bases have been destroyed¡­ Humans should not dare to approach Ming Mountain again.¡±


    ¡°Order all the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts to stand guard on the periphery, and don¡¯t continue the ambushes,¡± he commanded.


    ¡°Wait for my return before we launch the decisive battle, and completely destroy their last base,¡± he added.


    ...


    ¡°Yes,¡± the Black Snake said respectfully.


    As the Beast King most trusted by the Beast Emperor, his position in Ming Mountain was extremely high.


    Likewise, he would unconditionally obey the commands of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Emperor!¡±


    ¡°The other Beast Kings are fine,¡± Black Snake continued with his head bowed, his voice deep, ¡°But Hei Jing is the blood brother of Prince Qing Sheng. I¡¯m afraid that in a fit of rage, Prince Qing Sheng might not listen to advice and attack recklessly for revenge.¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor frowned slightly.


    By nature, serpents were lustful, and as a Beast Emperor, he had countless offspring.


    However, the bloodline of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was not very strong. After many trials and opportunities, he finally broke through in the Divine Land and became a Beast Emperor.


    Most of his offspring remained at the First Rank, very few could break through to the Second Rank¡­ and in the end, only Qing Sheng stepped into the Third Rank, thus he was also deeply favored by him.


    His favoritism also cultivated the arrogant and domineering mentality of the ¡®Qing Sheng Beast King.¡¯


    In the past, the Mingxu Star Realm was just so big that no major disaster could be caused, and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor rarely managed his children.


    But now, the situation was clearly different.


    ¡°The Chi Yen Beast King is with him for his personal protection, right?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Correct,¡± Black Snake could not help but nod.


    Under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, there were Three Great Beast King leaders¡ªHei Guang, Chi Yen, Lei Hui.


    Each one of them was far stronger than the deceased Hei Jing Beast King and others. These Three Great Beast King leaders could even withstand the Beast Emperor for quite a while.


    ¡°Command Chi Yen to protect him carefully.¡±


    ¡°Without trials, how can one grow.¡±


    ¡°For Qing Sheng to reach your level, he must undergo more trials,¡± said the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor slowly, ¡°Just make sure to caution him and Chi Yen not to strike at the human¡¯s main city¡­ that Origin Power Weapon is likely the ¡®Fourth Rank Origin Power Weapon¡¯ mentioned in the Divine Land. Even I, facing it head-on, would only have a dead end.¡±


    A shock went through Hei Guang Beast King¡¯s heart¡ªwas its power really that great?


    But he did not doubt the words of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors, having explored the Divine Land for many years¡­ the many secrets they knew far surpassed those of the Beast Kings.


    ¡­


    About ten thousand kilometers away from Bright Moon Base, there was an even larger and quiet expansive lake.


    Boom!


    The once tranquil lake suddenly churned, followed by a green Flying Serpent, resembling a dragon, roaring out of the water.


    ¡°Roar~~¡±


    The Green Snake howled to the heavens, filled with unprecedented fury, and in his eyes flickered a trace of pain: ¡°Hei Jing! My brother!¡±


    He was the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s only Flying Heaven Level offspring¡ªthe Qing Sheng Beast King. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Though he was extremely spoiled by the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Qing Sheng Beast King preferred not to stay at Ming Mountain. Instead, he moved to live freely in this large lake, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Ming Mountain.


    During the past hundred years or so, Hei Jing Beast King was his only brother and close friend.


    Now.


    His only brother was dead!!


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill! I will slaughter all these humans!¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King erupted in a series of low growls, and in his mind¡¯s eye, an image of a black silhouette holding a Long Spear flashed.


    According to Hei Guang Beast King¡¯s transmission, this human Martial Artist was the perpetrator.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± In a distant mountain peak, suddenly flames erupted violently, and a colossal figure, more than forty meters tall, entirely red, without a single hair on its body, and resembling a rock giant, stepped over the void and approached.


    Flames enveloped its body, and wherever it went, the lake water boiled tumultuously.


    ¡°Qing Sheng,¡± the rock giant¡¯s voice was majestic, ¡°Calm down. Your father has given orders, the forces behind these humans are beyond our imagination, their superhuman enemies far surpass your father, and the only reason they can¡¯t enter our world is due to the limitations of heaven and earth. Don¡¯t provoke them thoroughly.¡±


    ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, I can¡¯t bear it. I must kill him!!¡± The Qing Sheng Beast King, with his huge serpentine eyes blood-red, said, ¡°They¡¯re the invaders, they¡¯re the ones encroaching on our territory¡ªwhy should we endure?¡±


    ¡°Silly boy.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as right or wrong in this world¡ªthere is only the strong and the weak,¡± Chi Yen Beast King shook his head, ¡°Be patient. Once your father becomes a Demigod, he will naturally sweep them away.¡±


    In fact.


    Decades ago, the forces native to the Mingxu Star Realm had already noticed the existence of the Tianliang Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but the native forces had been enduring all this time.


    Only when the entrance to the Star Realm was upgraded and human Martial Artists sneaked into the Divine Land did the Seven Star Civilization and Tianliang Civilization begin their mad expansion and war, which finally made the native forces unable to remain idle.


    ¡°How many more years will it be until my father becomes the legendary Demigod? By then, this human will likely have returned to their world long ago,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King growled, ¡°If I don¡¯t kill him, I will not be content.¡±


    Suddenly, the Qing Sheng Beast King looked at Chi Yen Beast King, ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, help me.¡±


    ¡°Just kill this human, and I will stop,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King fixed his gaze on Chi Yen Beast King.


    Chi Yen Beast King sighed internally.

    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor often cultivated in the Divine Land and has always been mentoring the Qing Sheng Beast King¡­ Their relationship was extremely close.


    As for the Hei Jing Beast King? He too was considered his junior.


    ¡°Agreed,¡±


    ¡°The Beast Emperor only ordered us not to invade the human main city,¡± said Chi Yen Beast King, ¡°I will gather another group of Beast Kings¡­ specifically to ambush him.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s eyes lit up.


    He was well aware that even Hei Jing had died at the hands of that human Martial Artist; if he relied solely on himself, winning was impossible.


    ...


    But with Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s help, there was hope.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King remembered what his father had said before, that Chi Yen Beast King was the most likely in the entire world to become the fourth Beast Emperor.


    ¡°However, once this human is slain, you must return with me to Ming Mountain,¡± Chi Yen Beast King intoned deeply.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Very soon.


    Chi Yen Beast King left the lake and quickly went to summon other Flying Heaven Level Beast Kings.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had always been at the Bright Moon Base, the central axis of the Bright Heart Base, patrolling an area of thousands of kilometers without a moment¡¯s rest.


    And top talents like Wu Manong, Tavares, and Luo Chan, because they needed to protect the base, were constantly taking turns to sortie.


    Their individual strengths might be far inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s.


    But they were highly efficient at killing ordinary first and second rank Exotic Beasts; and in terms of protecting the number of fleeing people, the total was far greater than that of Li Yuan.


    Even when facing Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, warriors like Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Luo Chan, when grouped in teams of three, could also easily handle many dangers.


    Li Yuan was indeed the strongest and saved the most people.


    But if it were only him alone, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save everyone.


    ¡­


    ¡°This war in the Mingxu Star Realm is a rare great battle for our Seven Star Alliance,¡±


    ¡°Powerful Flying Heaven Warriors cannot enter the Second Level Star Realm,¡±


    ¡°We rely on those who are willing to stay forever in the Star Realm, those who break through in the Star Realm. They disregard their own safety, risking their lives to contend with powerful Alien Races, with Li Yang, Mai Yi, Lei Meng¡­¡±


    ¡°Also stepping up are the peerless geniuses of our Seven Star Alliance. They are merely Prime Warriors, but their strength is capable of contending with Flying Heaven, including the number one Prime Warrior with a ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, from the Martial Divine Star Realm Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, Luo Chan, Jiang Zai¡­¡±


    ¡°They are the heroes of our entire civilization,¡±


    The promotional video about the Mingxu Star Realm made by the Seven Star Alliance also caused the popularity and renown of this great group of powerful individuals to soar continuously across Blue Star and the Seven Great Planets.


    The large-scale war in the Mingxu Star Realm spread quickly not only across Blue Star but through the Seven Great Planets as well.


    Countless civilians were following this war.


    The Seven Star Alliance, a population of over a hundred billion.


    They might inhabit different planets, different countries, and might have some competition on normal days¡­ But the history of hundreds of years had taught everyone in the civilization.


    When facing foreign enemies, we must unite!


    ¡­


    September 3rd.


    After many days of continuous battles, most of the warriors who had escaped from war bases and frontier outposts had successively arrived at the Bright Moon Base, the Bright Heart Base.


    The ¡®Retreat Operation¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization was nearing its end.


    At the same time, the Tianliang Civilization, having been at a disadvantage in the early stages of the war, with an expansion range far smaller than the Seven Star Civilization¡­ thus, their great retreat had been basically completed.


    Tianliang Star.


    The sole main star of the Tianliang Civilization, much larger than Feixing, housed a population of hundreds of billions.


    In the highest conference room of a towering skyscraper, a multitude of people were bustling around.


    And at the end of the conference room, nearly ten presences exuding strong divine auras gathered.


    ¡°Most people inside the Mingxu Star Realm have already completely withdrawn and have begun to consolidate,¡± a blonde woman said coldly, ¡°The plan to leave only the necessary main combat force as the final defense has reached the point of decision on whether to continue fighting or to give up.¡±


    ¡°We have in fact already lost the battle with the Seven Star Civilization,¡±


    ¡°Even the Saint Heir Shefu, who broke through to Flying Heaven Realm, couldn¡¯t stop Yu Jinghe, how could we win?¡±


    ¡°Now, the indigenous forces within the Mingxu Star Realm are more powerful than we could have imagined,¡± the Demigods spoke in succession.


    Shefu was one of the Eighteen Saint Heirs of the Tianliang Civilization. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He was originally a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    Later, with Yu Jinghe being too dominant, Shefu chose to break through to ¡®Flying Heaven Realm¡¯ in the Mingxu Star Realm, but he still lost to Yu Jinghe in combat and barely escaped with his life.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe is a major threat, but it will be very difficult for him to directly break through our main base,¡± said the blonde woman coldly, ¡°The greater threat comes from a new genius called Spirit Gun who has recently emerged in the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Just now, you all saw the promotions from the Seven Star Alliance; Spirit Gun is clearly stronger than Yu Jinghe,¡±


    This group of Tianliang Civilization Demigods all felt the pressure.


    One Yu Jinghe already suppressed a host of Prime Warrior Saint Heirs, and now there emerged an even more powerful Spirit Gun.


    ¡°Since everyone feels we can¡¯t win,¡± the blonde woman said coldly, ¡°let¡¯s accept the invitation from the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Summon Lu Lei and Rolbis,¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization is after all our mother civilization, letting them seize the treasures of Ming Mountain would be better than letting the Seven Star Civilization take them,¡± the blonde woman said.


    The group of Demigods pondered.


    The blood of the Myriad Demons Civilization flowed in all of them, and the Tianliang Civilization had always been subservient to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ but over the long years, they too had yearned for a Divine of their own civilization, who could sit on an equal footing with the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But reality had dealt them a hard blow.


    Soon after.


    The Tianliang Civilization officially extended an invitation to the Myriad Demons Civilization and detailed everything about the ¡®Ruins Star Civilization.¡¯

    Tianliang Civilization didn¡¯t have to wait too long.


    Soon after, the upper echelons of the Myriad Demons Civilization sent back a message, ¡°We are gathering Prime Warriors with talent and will arrive as quickly as possible.¡±


    Between Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization, there is an intercommunication through the Fourth Level Star Realm.


    ¡­


    The Seven Star Civilization naturally was not aware of the changes to the Star Realm¡¯s native forces, but some actions of the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization¡­ The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s intelligence system, however, had sensed something was amiss.


    It even directly obtained a lot of intelligence. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    Inside the Mingxu Star Realm.


    About three thousand kilometers away from the Bright Moon Base was a mountain peak, under layers of dense forests, atop a huge rock.


    Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the giant stone.


    As more and more fugitive Martial Artists returned to the two major bases, the frequency of Li Yuan¡¯s rescues also decreased, often taking several hours to receive a single distress message.


    Therefore, in his spare time, Li Yuan would continue his training.


    One battle after another.


    The more he saw, the more he experienced, the more he slaughtered, the greater the impact on Li Yuan.


    It was also constantly honing his mental willpower.


    ¡°Strong!¡±


    ¡°I must become stronger,¡± Li Yuan had a desire in his heart, ¡°If my strength were powerful enough, I could in one go ascend Ming Mountain and make those Three Great Beast Emperors beg for mercy.¡±


    ¡°I could also directly quell all conflicts within the Second Rank Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Allowing countless commoners and Martial Artists within the civilization to no longer suffer the horrors of war,¡± Li Yuan silently recited in his heart.


    At this moment, he was practicing the ¡°Visualization Method¡± like he had in the past.


    His consciousness gathered and entered the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, condensing into a conscious entity, which, through the Great Sun Jade Platform, endured the scorching of the solar blaze.


    Over the years, with the continuous strengthening of his spiritual power and willpower, each time Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method, his conscious entity got a bit closer to the sun, always striving to reach his own limit.


    Striving to temper himself with all his might.


    ¡°Pursuing the limit, never slacking in cultivation, so that if one day in the future I should fall in battle on this path, I will not regret it in my dying moments,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mental will became stronger and stronger through tempering.


    My heart has no regrets! This was one of Li Yuan¡¯s creeds.


    Suddenly.


    Whir~ As Li Yuan, who had repeatedly endured the intense blaze, suddenly experienced a fierce shaking of his spiritual fluctuations, sweeping in every direction¡­ his spiritual power had changed.


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has increased from level 36.9 to level 37.0]¡± A Divine Palace prompt flashed by.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had been at level 36.9 for quite a while, repeatedly honing himself until the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Finally, he broke through this crucial bottleneck.


    He had reached level 37!


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has reached level 37, raising the limit of your Spiritual Awakening Level from 45% to 50%]¡±


    ¡°[You have slain a Third Rank creature, breaking the Divine Palace¡¯s shackles, raising your Spiritual Awakening limit to 60%]¡±


    ¡°[You have slain Third Rank creatures multiple times, accumulating a large amount of Spiritual Nature nourishment, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 50.1%]¡±


    ¡°[Your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 50%, you can receive the second Spiritual Guidance]¡± Four consecutive Divine Palace prompts directly flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s vision.


    They left Li Yuan completely dazed.


    The breakthrough in spiritual power, the Spiritual Awakening limit reaching 60%, he had anticipated this since the battle at the Rob Sea when he first killed a Flying Heaven Level Alien Race and was reminded.


    But!


    After the limit increased, his Spiritual Awakening Level soared directly from 45% to 50.1%?


    Directly initiating the second Spiritual Guidance? This!!


    Suddenly, Li Yuan remembered that every time he had killed a Third Rank creature before, there was a prompt about obtaining Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    ¡°Every time I kill a Third Rank creature, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace acquires Spiritual Nature nourishment, but it was restricted by my Spiritual Awakening limit, unable to immediately nourish me? Now that my spiritual power has broken through, all this accumulated Spiritual Nature nourishment has been released at once?¡± Li Yuan speculated in his heart.


    This guess was likely very close to the truth.


    ¡°Spiritual Guidance?¡± Li Yuan harbored a hint of anticipation in his heart, ¡°The first Spiritual Guidance allowed me to awaken the first Perfect Star Vein, what about the second Spiritual Guidance?¡±


    Li Yuan was already vaguely sensing a change within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with a peculiar force hidden on the second floor of the Divine Palace, ready to erupt at any moment.


    However.


    Li Yuan was not in a hurry, as he was suppressing this force.


    Because the process of Spiritual Guidance would take a long time, and the current situation was not very appropriate.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡°In another day or two, all evacuations should be over,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Then I¡¯ll return to the Bright Moon Base for quiet cultivation and complete the Spiritual Guidance.¡±


    Li Yuan strove to calm his inner heart.


    After more than ten minutes.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly noticed a vibration on his smart ring and glanced down, ¡°A distress call?¡±


    ¡°This direction, 1300 kilometers? Let¡¯s go!¡± Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.


    Meanwhile, on the map display, another dazzling green dot was also rapidly approaching.


    This dot was not moving as fast as Li Yuan, but it was closer to the destination than Li Yuan.

    Chapter 511: Chapter 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and dashed across the sky and earth, while simultaneously monitoring the information changing on the smart bracelet.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Wu Manong, and Teacher Li Yang, Lei Meng,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°One True Intent Prime Warrior, two Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    The ones rushing over included not only him but also a Flying Heaven Level team.


    According to regulations, aside from Li Yuan alone, other rescue teams should consist of three Flying Heaven Level warriors to provide mutual assistance. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    ¡°My flight speed is faster than Teacher Li Yang¡¯s, but they¡¯re less than 700 kilometers away. By the time I get there, the battle will likely be over,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Although he thought as much, Li Yuan¡¯s speed did not slow down in the slightest.


    Despite no encounters with Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts in the past few days, Li Yuan remained ever vigilant.


    War brooks no jokes!


    Only the bravest, who are also the most cautious and treat every seemingly ordinary battle as the most crucial one, have the hope of surviving to the end.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan approached at extreme speed.


    ¡­


    Hundreds of kilometers away from Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three streaks of light were also flying at high speed¡ªWu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng were in motion.


    Among the three, Wu Manong was a Prime Warrior, but he was actually the strongest.


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is making his way here at full speed,¡± Wu Manong spoke in a deep tone, ¡°We have to do our best too. We can¡¯t let the Spirit Gun handle everything alone.¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Lei Meng nodded.


    ¡°After all, we are Flying Heaven Warriors too,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    After several days of battle, they had all come to deeply admire the Spirit Gun.


    Combat rescue 24 hours a day without a hint of slack, how could they not be admired?


    Similarly, with such a strong fighter at the forefront, it also motivated them to invest themselves wholeheartedly into battle.


    Full-force rescue.


    ¡­


    On a vast and desolate plain, a large group of fleeing human warriors were being violently besieged by numerous flying exotic beasts.


    Each and every flying exotic beast was at least of Level 18, and many were Second Rank Exotic Beasts.


    Each one spread its wings, shading the sky and covering the sun.


    The two sides were engaged in fierce combat, trees were knocked down one after another, the earth trembled, and giant rocks flew chaotically.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve called for help.¡±


    ¡°Everyone hold on, we¡¯re already very close to Bright Moon Base, Flying Heaven Warriors are rushing to our aid at full speed,¡± the lead warrior clad in silver battle garment shouted urgently, ¡°As long as we can hold out for ten minutes, help will arrive.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A slash of the knife, and the burly man severed a claw of a flying exotic beast.


    As the strongest among the group of fleeing warriors, a Level 28 Prime Warrior, he was incredibly powerful.


    But no matter how strong, he still couldn¡¯t fly and couldn¡¯t protect everyone.


    ¡°Puchi~¡±


    A flying exotic beast plunged violently from the sky, its terrifying claws crushing a Level 19 warrior¡¯s head like a watermelon¡­ Many human warriors were killed.


    In such a brutal fight for survival, even a single minute seemed like an eternity, let alone ten.


    ¡­


    The human warriors engaged in the fierce battle on the plain were unaware that beneath them, deep within the ground.


    A terrifying force was lurking. Many powerful Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts were hidden there.


    ¡°The human warriors have called for help.¡±


    ¡°Yu Wu, instruct your subordinates to slow down the slaughter,¡± one communicated through Divine Sense.


    ¡°Yes! If they¡¯re killed too quickly, the human Flying Heaven Warriors might not come,¡± the Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts exchanged thoughts through Divine Sense.


    And among this large group of Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts, the leader was the enormous green Flying Serpent¡ªQing Sheng Beast King.


    He was lying flat in a dark river hundreds of meters below ground, letting the river water wash over his body.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s eyes gleamed red, filled with a murderous intent.


    These past few days, his only desire was to kill the enemy and avenge his brother Hei Jing Beast King; he had been waiting for the opportunity.


    Finally, he received communication from the Chi Yen Beast King, who had summoned a large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    He immediately took action.


    ¡°I wonder which Flying Heaven Warrior is coming.¡±


    ¡°I hope it¡¯s the Long Spear Warrior, it must be!¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King chanted in his heart.


    Their chosen ambush location was an area frequently visited by the Long Spear human warrior, as gathered from intelligence.


    Time ticked by, second by second.


    The battle on the plain gradually neared its end. The human warriors fought resiliently, suffering heavy casualties, but also inflicted astonishing damage on the group of flying exotic beasts.


    Especially that Level 28 Prime Warrior, who in the heat of combat successively killed two Second Rank flying exotic beasts.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three terrifying streaks of light soared through the high sky, especially one fiery streak, which was the most fearsome. As it approached, countless flames spontaneously erupted in the void.


    The True Meaning of Fire! Domain!


    It swept away everything.


    Puchi~! Putch~! The flying exotic beasts, in utter terror, tried to flee, but facing an enraged Wu Manong, where could they run to? In an instant confrontation, Wu Manong slaughtered most of them.


    The few Second Rank flying exotic beasts, possessing great Origin Power, could not be suppressed by the Domain alone¡­ but facing three Flying Heaven Level warriors, they had no chance to resist.


    In the blink of an eye, the initially frighteningly numerous and fearsome hundreds of flying exotic beasts were completely swept away.


    This is the power of the Flying Heaven Level!


    Especially after mastering the Domain of True Intent, slaughtering First Rank and Second Rank lives was an absolute rout.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°So powerful.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re saved.¡± The silver-armored burly man and the dozen or so surviving human warriors had looks of excitement and felt a wave of relief wash over them.

    I survived.


    ¡°You guys continue¡­¡± A curly-haired, skinny Lei Meng was looking down, about to speak when suddenly he seemed to sense something, his face dramatically changing, ¡°Run!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t just him!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Wu Manong and Li Yang were both extraordinary in strength. At that moment, the terrifying bursts of Origin Power from deep underground caused their faces to dramatically change.


    The next second, the three powerhouses soared into the sky, lightning-fast, away from the ground.


    ...


    The anomaly happened too quickly, and those terrifying bursts of Origin Power even frightened all three of them.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, a terrifyingly huge stone hand burning with flame suddenly tore through the earth, and immediately after, an imposing and boundless figure burst forth from the ground. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom!


    Splutter! Splutter! Endless flames swept in all directions, instantly enveloping hundreds of meters around, and those human Martial Artists who had just thought they were saved, including a powerful Prime Warrior, were consumed by the roaring flames, their bodies instantly burnt to nothing.


    In a single thought, all were dead!


    The powerful Origin Power triggered the Domain Star Technique, combined with the comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire, making this move terrifyingly effective.


    Even an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, if struck by this move, would suffer severe injuries.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Apart from the appearance of the Chi Yen Beast King, almost in an instant, various Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts emitting terrifying auras burst forth from the earth within a radius of more than ten kilometers.


    Some were Flying Serpents, some were covered in feathers and scales like golden eagles, and others took the form of walking beasts, each suspended in the void.


    A total of thirteen Flying Heaven level Exotic Beasts vaguely formed a huge encirclement.


    They trapped Li Yang, Lei Meng, and Wu Manong, who had just flown into the void, within it.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s an ambush! They¡¯re here to specifically target us?¡± Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng were somewhat stupefied, feeling the surging aura emitted by the large group of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts around them, involuntarily experiencing a hint of fear in their hearts.


    Especially that flame giant, whose imposing aura was truly terrifying.


    The three of them understood instantly.


    They were not on the same level of strength at all.


    ¡°It¡¯s the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, suspected to be a level 34 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast, as mentioned in the intelligence,¡± Wu Manong had already made a judgment.


    ¡°We can¡¯t hold them off.¡±


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Though it sounds slow, it all happened in an instant.


    Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng leaped away to escape, not bothering to mourn for the dead human warriors, fleeing without pause, transforming into three beams of light, each darting off in different directions.


    The enemy was too strong, beyond their match.


    If they stayed together, they would only be wiped out in one fell swoop.


    While fleeing for their lives, the three powerhouses also sent out calls for help. In their hearts, there was still a ray of hope¡ªthe Spirit Gun!


    According to the location indicator, the Spirit Gun was very close to them, at most twenty seconds away.


    ¡°Human Martial Artists!¡±


    ¡°Take action, kill.¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s voice was profound, issuing the order while his massive body moved with incredible agility, like a huge meteor of flame, directly charging at Wu Manong.


    He had been observing just now.


    A Prime Warrior with True Intent Comprehension? Naturally, he was his first target, of far greater value than the other two ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill! Kill them all.¡± The other Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, having burst from the ground, also rushed towards Li Yang and Lei Meng with lightning speed.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    The gigantic blue Flying Serpent was the most murderous, its eyes fixed on Li Yang who was cutting through the Vast Sky, his body shimmering with light, ¡°Haven¡¯t waited for the Long Spear Warrior, then I¡¯ll kill you first, to collect some interest.¡±


    ¡­The Chi Yen Beast King was too fast.


    He effortlessly broke five times the speed of sound, taking only three seconds to reach Wu Manong, his fiery giant palm ferociously striking down: ¡°I didn¡¯t want to start a war with your human civilization, but you¡¯re too greedy. This is our home turf.¡±


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    Wu Manong, this unparalleled genius from the Seven Star Civilization.


    In a life or death moment, he unleashed astonishing potential. His body grew in an instant, deploying the Body Refining Star Technique he had recently mastered, transforming into a height of three meters, followed by holding a giant shield in each hand.


    With all his might, he channeled the Mysteries of True Intent! Origin Power!


    All of it concentrated on the shields that had been his main weapon for a long time.


    The fiery giant palm, blotting out the sky like a huge mountain, ferociously struck down.


    The two giant shields, however, aimed to block every attack.


    The two collided in an instant.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The explosion was like the sky and earth splitting, the surrounding air vibrating and bursting. Crimson blood was seen floating in the air, staining the sky!


    The Chi Yen giant felt as if he had smacked his palm against two hard pebbles, aching intensely.


    And Wu Manong had been sent flying backward, the terrible force passing through his Combat Armor and hitting his entire body, almost tearing his Divine Body apart, which started to crack all over.


    He had almost turned into a blood man!


    Just one exchange and Wu Manong was gravely injured. He had already taken the Origin Purple Longevity Pill, but the effects needed time to take effect, and the pace of this level of battle was far too swift.


    ¡°Second Rank Life.¡±


    ¡°To withstand my strike without dying, worthy of being from a powerful civilization beyond this world. You must be one of the topmost Second Rank Lives among your people,¡± Chi Yen Beast King spoke deeply, and as he did so, his other giant palm also thunderously came crashing down.


    Boom!


    With the burst of speed, a river of fire rushed forward, sharply compressing the air, causing a series of terrifying sonic booms, bearing down on Wu Manong.


    There was no escape.


    In terms of Skill Realm, Chi Yen Beast King was not inferior to Wu Manong, both coming exceedingly close to the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank.

 Chapter 513 - 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_3

    Chapter 513: Chapter 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_3


    In terms of Star Techniques, Wu Manong actually had a slight advantage.


    The key lay in the foundation, with 29.9 and 34 levels, the gap was simply too large, something that Sixth Layer Star Techniques couldn¡¯t make up for.


    ¡°I can¡¯t die!!¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t die!¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t become a Flying Heaven Warrior yet, let alone a Demigod, how can I die here!!¡± Wu Manong roared in his heart. At this moment, his survival instinct was fully triggered.


    In the throes of life and death, countless insights into the Mystery of Fire that he had collected over time rushed to the forefront of his mind.


    ...


    They burst forth completely.


    Wu Manong knew that if he couldn¡¯t withstand it, he would die.


    ¡°Boom!!!¡±


    Wu Manong¡¯s skin suddenly erupted with dazzling flames and glows of light, and around him, the void manifested threads of flames so powerful that even the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s Flame Domain momentarily receded.


    At that moment, Wu Manong¡¯s aura leaped forward dramatically, surging to an astonishing level.


    Wu Manong moved his shields like lightning and shifted them in front of him.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    Another terrifying collision, Wu Manong was once again sent flying backward, fresh blood spurting from his mouth.


    ¡°He¡¯s not dead!¡±


    ¡°Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank technique? Did he make a breakthrough?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King instantly noticed the change in Wu Manong¡¯s aura, as well as that terror-inspiring, burning flame power.


    A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.


    Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank meant Intermediate Rank True Intent. It represented a new level of comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire¡­ Such a level of comprehension was already at the peak level of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Once a technique reached such a stage, given enough time, one could cultivate to Level 35 unimpeded.


    For someone like the Chi Yen Beast King, who had cultivated for over two hundred years and still hadn¡¯t fully taken this step,


    Once he did, he would become the fourth Beast Emperor of Ming Mountain.


    And now, a Second Rank Life had made the breakthrough? How could he not be envious?


    ¡°Breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°Even if you¡¯ve broken through, you will still die!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s killing intent became even stronger. Stepping across the vast sky, he charged toward Wu Manong again, and with his palms coming together, he attempted to crush Wu Manong completely like swatting a mosquito.


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡±


    The terrible roaring explosions and the surging flames¡­ In the deadly confrontation, Wu Manong, who had just made a breakthrough, exerted all his strength to withstand the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s six strikes.


    Each strike made his injuries worse, and the Origin Violet Longevity Pill couldn¡¯t heal him that quickly.


    His breakthrough in the Mysteries of True Intent had raised his overall strength from the original Level 31 to Level 32¡­ If he had made this breakthrough before the battle, he would have had a chance to withstand more than a hundred moves against the Level 34 Chi Yen Beast King.


    He definitely could have lasted until Li Yuan arrived.


    After all, the Chi Yen Beast King specialized in only one Domain Star Technique and compared to a true Level 34 Flying Heaven Warrior, his overall strength was significantly inferior.


    Only,


    In the confrontation before the breakthrough, Wu Manong was already gravely injured, which doomed him to have no further chance.


    ¡°Drag it out!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve delayed this long, Li Yang and Lei Meng¡¯s chances of survival are higher, and the Spirit Gun should be arriving soon.¡± Wu Manong was still struggling to hold back, once again blocking the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s attack. One of his shields was knocked away, and his arm was shattered, blood spurting uncontrollably, his consciousness growing dim.


    Boom!


    Another palm strike came.


    Inside, Wu Manong had already found peace: ¡°I thought I would become a Demigod in the future, renowned across the Seven Stars. It¡¯s a pity.¡±


    ¡°Even after a breakthrough, I¡¯m going to die.¡±


    In the midst of battle, he fought with all his might for that slim chance of survival.


    When death was imminent, Wu Manong was completely calm.


    Having battled the Alien Race many times, and in this great war of the Mingxu Star Realm, not just one companion had died in battle, Wu Manong was long prepared for death, a smile even appearing at the corner of his mouth: ¡°Old Yu, you were at Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank comprehension before, even scoffing at me¡­ Haha, just before dying, I seem to have caught up to you, didn¡¯t fall too far behind, right?¡±


    Boom!


    The fiery giant palm fiercely smashed down, and the terrifying surge of flames instantly tore Wu Manong¡¯s body apart.


    Wu Manong, dead in combat.


    ¡°Truly tenacious.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior, with a technique comprehension that could reach the level of a Beast Emperor.¡±


    ¡°If he had advanced to Flying Heaven Level earlier, I would not have been able to kill him,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King shook his head, thinking: ¡°It¡¯s a pity, these super geniuses from the Foreign Domains, fearing being trapped forever in our realm, are not willing to let their Life Levels break through. When it comes to life and death, a breakthrough is then impossible.¡±


    To break through from a Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven Level took at least two to three days. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King waved his hand, collecting the many items Wu Manong left behind.


    ¡°Wu Manong is dead?¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡± Li Yang and Lei Meng were not facing enemies that were extremely powerful.


    And as Flying Heaven Warriors, they were more robust, still desperately struggling.


    When they sensed Wu Manong¡¯s breakthrough, both were slightly exhilarated.


    But when they saw Wu Manong killed in battle, both of their hearts trembled¡­ A genius Prime Warrior who had broken through to Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank technique, just like that, dead in battle.


    This is war.


    If you choose to slaughter the Alien Race, then you must also be prepared to be killed by the Alien Race.


    ¡­The Chi Yen Beast King strode through the void, with overwhelming flames engulfing it, ready to kill the still desperately fleeing Li Yang, Lei Meng.


    Suddenly.


    The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s enormous eyes narrowed: ¡°A man in black with a long spear? He¡¯s arrived so quickly.¡±


    Boom!


    In the void nearly ten kilometers away, a figure in black battle garment, holding a long spear and radiating yellow light, appeared.


    He was rushing at full speed.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes reddened slightly, killing intent soaring.


    He was already rushing at full speed.


    When he learned that Wu Manong and Li Yang had been attacked, he spared no effort to unleash the Great Earth Divine Body¡­ Using the Divine Body increased his flying speed slightly, disproportionate to the Origin Power consumed.

    Chapter 514: Chapter 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_4


    At that moment, Li Yuan could not care less about the massive consumption of Origin Power.


    However, Li Yuan had not yet reached the battlefield when he saw Wu Manong being torn apart by that palm strike from afar.


    Subconsciously,


    Li Yuan clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on the long spear in his hand, his heart filled with even more rage.


    Wu Manong, Li Yuan did not have much interaction with him, but he vividly remembered the scene of their first meeting in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    This was a somewhat proud guy.

    His personality was not exactly likable.


    But, in every interdimensional war of the Second Level Star Realm, from the many battles in the Rob Sea that Li Yuan knew of, to the Fierce Feather Star Realm, then to the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ Wu Manong always charged into the front lines.


    Today, he died.


    ¡°Another one is dead,¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    In the great war of the Mingxu Star Realm, Wu Manong was not the first top-tier powerhouse to fall.


    And he likely wasn¡¯t the last.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan had no time for sorrow, his speed soaring to the extreme, already surpassing five times the speed of sound, and he howled as he charged at the group of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts surrounding Li Yang.


    Wu Manong had already fallen in battle, and Li Yuan would not allow Teacher Li Yang to die before his eyes.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yang held a long spear, fleeing while desperately defending against the attacks of as many as six Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    In just a short time, he had already sustained serious injuries.


    ¡°Qing Sheng!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that extremely strong human Martial Artist, the Beast Emperor gave an order,¡± the group of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attacking Li Yang also saw Li Yuan charging in.


    At that time, the Chi Yen Beast King had not arrived yet.


    ¡°You three, go kill him,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King sent a telepathic message, ¡°Don¡¯t engage him head-on, just entangle him for a moment, and the Chi Yen Beast King will arrive. He¡¯s only a Second Rank Life.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Three Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts immediately abandoned Li Yang, soaring as they lunged toward Li Yuan.


    They all knew of Li Yuan¡¯s combat achievements; in fact, Hei Jing Beast King and Qing Yanyu Beast King were among the strongest within their Beast Emperor¡¯s forces.


    However, in the eyes of these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, since Li Yuan took quite some time to kill Hei Jing Beast King, it suggested that he wasn¡¯t much more powerful.


    They thought that working together, just to hold him off for a moment, would be somewhat manageable.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s rage was sky-high, murderous intent swirling in his eyes as he looked at the three Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attempting to block his way, and without any hesitation, he unleashed his strongest power.


    Boom!!


    Earth and Wind Domain combined! Streams of air containing terrifying power were born, enveloping a hundred-meter radius, sweeping in all directions.


    Flying Heaven Martial Artists¡¯ Origin Power can leave the body and, combined with their Domain, can extend hundreds of meters, with some Domain Star Techniques even over a kilometer¡­ Li Yuan was not capable of that.


    His Domain was purely drawing on the power of heaven and earth.


    But with the combination of two True Intents, and insights close to the level of a Demigod¡­ the power he drew forth in his Domain was immensely terrifying!


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The four-legged Exotic Beast, facing Li Yuan, barely touched the range of his Domain when it felt the overwhelming power of those streams of air, which shattered its Origin Power Domain on contact.


    With astonishing binding force, it dramatically slowed its speed.


    The power of both Domains was not even on the same level.


    ¡°This is bad.¡± The four-legged Exotic Beast had just moved, attempting to pounce on Li Yuan.


    Swish!


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Within this domain of over a hundred meters in diameter, the real Li Yuan instantly reflected the creation of six Li Yuans¡ªSix Paths Illusionary Body!


    Sparing no time or effort, a murderous Li Yuan burst forth with all his might right from the start.


    ¡°Kill!¡± All six Li Yuans shouted in unison, as six dazzling Spear Lights cut through the vast sky.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    This four-legged Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beast barely managed to block four Spear Lights when it felt another eerie Long Spear piercing right through its solid layer of Origin Power, skin, and directly through its skull.


    Dead!


    A mere level 31 Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beast, with hardly any Star Techniques, stood no chance against Li Yuan¡¯s all-out assault with the Black Chen Spear.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡± The other two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts that were just about to join the fray panicked at the sight.


    It was too frightening.


    This human Martial Artist was more than ten times more terrifying than described in the Beast Emperor¡¯s orders.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Li Yuan was incredibly fast, his Domain crushing layer by layer, his six Phantom Bodies flickering and switching places, already upon these two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Fast! Too fast!


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Spear Light slashed through the sky, and in just one confrontation, the bodies of the other two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts were violently torn apart, their blood sprayed across the sky.


    ¡°[You have killed a Third Rank creature, Spiritual Awakening Level has increased to 50.2%]


    ¡°[You have killed¡­]


    ¡°[Your¡­ has increased to 50.4%]¡± Three consecutive Divine Palace notifications flashed by.

 Chapter 515 - 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum

    Chapter 515: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum


    In the blink of an eye, three Sky-Flying Level Exotic Beasts died in battle.


    Such a scene had completely terrified the group of their Beast Kings, Li Yuan¡¯s strength surpassed their imagination, far exceeding what the Beast Emperor¡¯s intelligence had indicated.


    ¡°How can he be so strong?¡± Qing Sheng Beast King couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Can a Second Rank Life be this powerful?¡±


    These Beast Kings dared to fight Li Yuan.


    One of the most important reasons was that they believed a Second Rank Life ultimately had a limit to its strength.


    After all, the fundamentals were there.


    ...


    Not just these Beast Kings, Li Yang and Lei Meng, who had been devoting a fraction of their attention to Li Yuan, were equally shocked and exhilarated.


    ¡°This Spirit Gun, Phantom Body techniques are truly heaven-defying; the Six Paths Illusionary Body is intertwined, making it impossible to discern the true body.¡± Li Yang was shocked in his heart, ¡°And his Spear Technique is also strong, one spear thrust and the sturdiest skull of a Sky-Flying Level Exotic Beast can¡¯t even withstand it? It¡¯s directly killed?¡±


    Normally, a Sky-Flying Level Life has an Origin Pill and a strong vitality, and if protected by a Third Rank Battle Garment, even a Peak Sky-Flying strong warrior may not be able to kill a Level 30 Sky-Flying in one move.


    ¡°Watching the battle images from Rob Sea before, I felt that the might of the Spirit Gun¡¯s Spear Technique wasn¡¯t so terrifying.¡± Lei Meng, who was frantically struggling to escape, was also surprised in his heart, ¡°Can a Prime Warrior be this strong as well?¡±


    This shattered Lei Meng¡¯s understanding, even Yu Jinghe was far from this level of strength.


    Did the Spirit Gun hide his strength during the great battle in Rob Sea?


    Or is it that in less than two months, the Spirit Gun¡¯s strength has advanced by leaps and bounds?


    They did not know. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If Li Yuan were an ordinary Prime Warrior, even if his Skill Realm was so exquisite and his Spear Technique so powerful, it would not be this terrifying.


    But Li Yuan combined three Star Techniques, especially after cultivating the Great Earth Divine Body, his fundamentals truly rivaled those of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    And he has the Black Chen Spear!


    In many aspects such as weapons, techniques and others, Li Yuan was stronger than most of the Peak Sky-Flying strong warriors¡­ It was only with the addition of Star Techniques to his fundamentals that he could unleash such formidable power.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s intent to kill soared to the heavens.


    After sweeping through the three major Sky-Flying Exotic Beasts, he turned into a streak of lightning and pounced towards Qing Sheng Beast King and the others.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    ¡°Escape~¡± Filled with terror, Qing Sheng Beast King and the other two desperately fled backward.


    No one wanted to test Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Light.


    Especially Qing Sheng Beast King, he had so fervently desired to kill Li Yuan just moments ago, and now, he was fleeing even faster; a hazy layer of green light suddenly appeared around him, making his speed skyrocket, far surpassing the other two Beast Kings.


    Flying Escape Star Technique!


    With the retreat of these three major Beast Kings, Li Yang¡¯s danger was naturally resolved.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    Li Yuan, like a gust of wind, flew past Li Yang and directly transmitted a message to him, ¡°Li Yang, retreat quickly.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Whoosh! Already heavily injured, Li Yang knew this was not the time for pretense and, like a bolt of lightning, he crossed paths with Li Yuan and completely flew out of the attack range of this group of Beast Kings.


    Hisss~ Li Yang¡¯s injuries were slowly healing.


    ¡°Did Teacher take a life-saving Spirit Pill?¡± Li Yuan, sensing with his Divine Sense, had this thought flash through his mind, ¡°He should be alright.¡±


    ¡°Wu Manong used one during the fierce battle, but unfortunately, it was in vain.¡±


    In the Seven Star Civilization, there are many life-saving Spirit Pills, like the ¡®Origin Purple Longevity Pill¡¯ that is most effective for Prime Warriors. As long as the head isn¡¯t instantly crushed, it can bring someone back to life.


    Sky-Flying Warriors have similar spirit pills, but their effects are not that exaggerated.


    But!


    Even the strongest life-saving spirit pills require some time to take effect.


    Like back in Mingxu Star Realm, when Li Yuan used an Origin Purple Longevity Pill to save Liu Jing, it took several minutes for Liu Jing¡¯s severed limbs to fully recover¡­ It took several more hours for him to fully awaken and completely recover. (Chapter 188)


    And for someone like Wu Manong who had cultivated a powerful Divine Body, the recovery would be even slower when in a state of using the Divine Body.


    And his battle with Chi Yen Beast King, how long did it last? It wasn¡¯t enough for the pill¡¯s full effects to develop.


    A few seconds to bring a body on the verge of collapse back to its prime, return to peak condition, a life-saving treasure?


    Perhaps such divine treasures exist in the universe, but at least the Seven Star Civilization does not possess them, and Li Yuan has never heard of them.


    All the Semi Divine Level geniuses that Li Yuan had killed in World within Worlds, who came from Divine Body civilizations, had not possessed such rare and precious treasures either.


    As for Wu Manong breaking through to Flying Heaven?


    Skills, spiritual power, and willpower can transform in a very short time, as they are intangible.


    But the transformation of the body is very complicated, it cannot be done overnight. Like the battle in World within Worlds, when Li Yuan and Alicia advanced from Level 19 to Level 20, they both sought a quiet place and took at least several hours. (Chapter 237)


    To advance from a Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven, the Sea of Source Energy must coalesce into an Origin Pill, a process that is even more complex and somewhat dangerous. At the least, it takes two to three days, or even up to half a month. If the breakthrough process is disturbed, it results in death or cripplement, and rushing such a breakthrough on the battlefield leads to a quicker demise.


    ¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± Under Li Yuan¡¯s full pursuit, his speed was much faster than the fleeing Beast Kings.


    Even Qing Sheng Beast King was far slower than Li Yuan.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan had already closed in on the two slower Beast Kings.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Boom boom boom~ Six Li Yuans simultaneously wielded their Long Spears, and powerful Origin Power surged within their palms onto the Black Chen Spear, unleashing dazzling Spear Lights. Although the two Beast Kings tried to withstand, one of them was directly pierced through the skull by the Spear Light.


    The other Beast King was giant turtle, Li Yuan¡¯s first spear did not pierce his shell, but directly blasted numerous cracks in it¡­ The third spear followed the break in the fractured shell and directly killed him.


    They simply couldn¡¯t stop Li Yuan¡¯s relentless slaughter.


    ¡°These Star Realm Sky-Flying Exotic Beasts are much easier to kill than those of the Cloud Beast Civilization.¡± Li Yuan mused internally, ¡°Star Techniques, protective Battle Garments, and so on, are all much weaker.¡±

 Chapter 516 - 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_2

    Chapter 516: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_2


    Without the legacy of civilization, their foundation in realm might not be weak, but overall strength is much inferior.


    ¡°One left.¡± Li Yuan stared at the fleeing green Flying Serpent.


    The water mysteries invoked by the opponent allowed for such rapid flight, which clearly indicated mastery of the Flying Escape Star Technique.


    But before Li Yuan could chase after the Qing Sheng Beast King.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A terrifying presence descended with a roar, layers of flames spread out like a sea of fire, crushing everything in their path.


    ...


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The void trembled as Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain made contact with the enemy¡¯s Domain, showing signs of crumbling immediately.


    Clearly, in the clash of Domains, Li Yuan was far inferior to his opponent.


    Chi Yen Beast King, seeing the Qing Sheng Beast King in danger, did not care about killing Lei Meng and finally arrived in time. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    There was no exchange between them.


    Accompanied by the clash of Domains, a terrifying giant palm enveloped Li Yuan from the sky, working in tandem with the flame Domain, as if to stagnate space itself.


    ¡°Thirty-four Level? He must be the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor,¡± deduced Li Yuan from the opponent¡¯s silhouette, strength, and techniques.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors ruled this world, which was not united as one.


    Not all Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts wished to wage war with the Seven Star Civilization; over time¡­ the Seven Star Civilization had exchanged information with more than one local power of the Flying Heaven Level Beast Kings in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    That¡¯s how they learned many secrets of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Now facing the full-force attack of the Chi Yen Beast King, Li Yuan did not rely on his Phantom Body to dodge. Instead, his eyes burned with a fearsome war intent, and five of his six Phantom Bodies suddenly dissipated.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan did not retreat but advanced. Activating his ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± his aura was equally shocking, and his speed also soared to its peak in an instant, not much slower than that of the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Boom! With the Black Chen Spear in hand, Li Yuan suddenly drew on the mysteries of Earth and Wind True Intent, infusing it with Origin Power and stabbing fiercely. The spear light shone like a terrifying beam of light, dazzlingly bright.


    He directly collided with the giant palm that came crashing down like a flaming meteor.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    A tremendous boom resounded, and invisible shockwaves expanded, blasting in all directions.


    The Chi Yen Beast King felt waves of excruciating pain and saw many tiny cracks appear on his palm. His towering body shook violently as he was forced to retreat.


    Li Yuan was also sent flying by the palm strike, feeling his blood boil within his body.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were extremely bright.


    ¡°His attacking power is merely a notch stronger than mine,¡± Li Yuan realized this fact.


    If it were a Second Rank Martial Artist of the human race, like Dean Hai, he would hardly have the advantage in a frontal confrontation, and self-preservation would be considered good.


    Although the Chi Yen Beast King was also at Level 34, his Star Technique and weaponry were too ordinary, giving Li Yuan an opportunity to exploit.


    Li Yuan¡¯s decision to confront Chi Yen Beast King head-on was to initially gauge the strength of the Three Great Beast Emperors through their confrontation.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°To fight the Chi Yen Beast King head-on and not be at a disadvantage? Is that possible for a Second Rank Life?¡±


    ¡°It seems he¡¯s not injured.¡± The other Flying Heaven Beast Kings watching the scene felt a shudder in their hearts.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°This! He¡¯s facing this head-on, isn¡¯t he worried about his body? Can he withstand it?¡± Lei Meng and Li Yang were completely holding their breath.


    Even those with superficial experiences among the native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, let alone them, found it hard to understand the strength showcased by the Spirit Gun in rapid succession.


    ¡­¡±Kill!¡± As Li Yuan¡¯s figure dashed forward, he split into six.


    Fifth Layers Star Technique¡ªShadow Division Technique!


    The previous head-on collision was to judge the enemy¡¯s strongest strength; in a real battle, he naturally couldn¡¯t afford to do the same.


    The Six Paths Illusionary Bodies weaved through each other, moving swiftly towards the Chi Yen Beast King like phantoms.


    ¡°Phantom Body?¡±


    ¡°Suppress!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King felt a heavy pressure in his heart and immediately invoked his Domain. The surging flames in the void completely enveloped Li Yuan¡¯s six Phantom Bodies.


    The flames roared like dragons, attempting to shatter the Phantom Bodies and pinpoint Li Yuan¡¯s real position.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    But Li Yuan¡¯s six Phantom Bodies seemed to exist in a separate void, dodging the fiery light attacks with ease¡­ extremely agile.


    The Domain could not extinguish his Phantom Bodies.


    With the Fifth Layers Star Technique invoking dual mysteries of True Intent¡­ if it were so easily defeated, then this move wouldn¡¯t be so fearsome.


    Finally.


    Amidst the crossing Phantom Bodies, Li Yuan once again approached the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!¡± Multiple spear lights whistled out, with six spear lights sweeping from all directions.


    ¡°Roll away!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King roared angrily, swiping his palms swiftly through the void, his palms moving incredibly fast and with terrifying power.


    Like an illusory dream, five of the spear lights burst at the same time.


    Then the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s giant palm struck Li Yuan¡¯s real body, blocking the fearsome spear.


    ¡°You can block once, but not twice,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with cold intent to kill.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan¡¯s six Phantom Bodies moved again.


    The terror of the Shadow Domain lies in its ability to hide the true position during battle. Every attack was as if six real bodies were striking simultaneously, concealing the true intent of the attack and making it impossible for the enemy to discern.


    ¡°Contract!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King roared.


    He evidently realized this as well, as his towering body tens of meters tall suddenly began to shrink, almost in the blink of an eye, to about ten meters tall.


    Shrinking his body would weaken his strength somewhat, but it would greatly increase his body density and defensive power¡­ this was the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s innate ability.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The previously expansive Domain that covered kilometers contracted rapidly, now only enveloping an area tens of meters in radius¡­ With the Domain shrinking, its power naturally increased greatly.


    ¡°Sss~¡±


    ¡°Sss~¡± As Li Yuan¡¯s Black Chen Spear penetrated the Flame Domain, it immediately faced resistance from the layers of flames, the speed and power of the Black Chen Spear both being suppressed.

 Chapter 517 - 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_3

    Chapter 517: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_3


    ¡°Kill!¡± roared the Chi Yen Beast King. After he shrank in size, his palms became more agile and managed to more easily block the long spear attacks. The illusory spears shattered and the real Black Chen Spear was thwarted.


    ¡°This human martial artist is too terrifying.¡±


    ¡°He is the strongest Second Rank life form I¡¯ve ever encountered. His skill level is definitely at the Beast Emperor tier.¡±


    ¡°No! Even if we only consider skill level, the Three Great Beast Emperors might not even match him,¡± conceded the Chi Yen Beast King, now focusing solely on defense.


    Attack? He couldn¡¯t distinguish Li Yuan¡¯s real body and couldn¡¯t possibly trouble Li Yuan. Instead, he was more likely to expose flaws.


    If he chose to flee, with his flying speed, escaping wouldn¡¯t be difficult.


    ...


    But if he fled, Qing Sheng Beast King and the others would likely be caught and killed by Li Yuan, so he had to choose to stall Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hold on.¡±


    ¡°After all, he is only a Second Rank life form. With each clash, sooner or later, he will not be able to withstand it,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King was patient.


    In a clash between powerhouses, the side with the weaker physical quality would easily get injured just from the impact of the weapons colliding.


    But as time passed.


    With each collision, the Chi Yen Beast King grew more astonished because he felt that the aura of the human martial artist clad in black hadn¡¯t diminished or changed at all.


    ¡°Is this human martial artist¡¯s defense so strong?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King found it unimaginable.


    Logically, no matter how strong he was, his body was still of Second Rank level!


    ¡°Trying to use the shock of battle to overwhelm my body?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze turned icy as he figured out the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s tactics.


    However, Li Yuan was protected by his half-divine-level armor, the ¡°Stellar Garment,¡± which could greatly weaken external shock forces.


    Plus, with the activation of his Great Earth Divine Body, Li Yuan¡¯s ability to endure was not inferior to that of a formidable Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    If one were to point out Li Yuan¡¯s weakness, it would be Origin Power!


    Simultaneously executing several powerful Star Techniques consumed an astonishing amount of Origin Power. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­All this seemed slow, but in just over ten seconds, beings like the Qing Sheng Beast King and Li Yang had already retreated more than ten kilometers.


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s frenzied assault, the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s defense grew increasingly strained.


    A prolonged defense is bound to fail.


    ¡°Pssht~¡± Suddenly, a spear stabbed out, drawing a dazzling arc in midair, piercing through layers of flames and fiercely aiming at the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Hiss~¡±


    It was too fast. The Chi Yen Beast King couldn¡¯t block in time and saw the spear light flare up and penetrate his chest, whereupon Li Yuan immediately felt a terrible resistance.


    It was too hard.


    ¡°This is bad,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression shifted slightly, ¡°Such strong defense?¡±


    After shrinking in size, the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s body was inherently hard, plus he was also protected by a layer of battle garment close to his skin, with his Domain weakening the attacks¡­ making Li Yuan¡¯s spear light strike his body but unable to penetrate deep.


    Many special bloodline creatures would awaken terrifying talents at different stages.


    Like the True Phoenix, which possesses the power of Nirvana.


    The Seven Star Civilization was but a corner in the vast expanse of the endless dimensional river, rarely witnessing such special creatures with extraordinary gifts.


    But immense strength and a sturdy body were the talents of the Chi Yen Beast King.


    His body, nearly as solid as rock, could awaken Spiritual Nature and give birth to Spiritual Wisdom was an incredible feat¡­ Just in terms of innate talent, across the entire Mingxu Star Realm, he was actuallyhigher than the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    However, as a rock life form, his Comprehension was quite mediocre, which is why he never became a Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Human, you can¡¯t kill me,¡± the voice of the Chi Yen Beast King resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°I can¡¯t do anything about you either. You are the strongest Second Rank life form I have ever seen.¡±


    ¡°How about we stop here and both withdraw?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King proposed through a mental message.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t speak.


    To watch the other side kill Wu Manong and simply withdraw? How could Li Yuan be content with that?


    ¡°If we continue fighting, you might have a chance to kill my clan¡¯s Beast Kings, but it will not be difficult for me to go all out and kill your two companions,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King communicated.


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly; this was the concern he had harbored, that he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop the other party from attacking Li Yang.


    Whoosh!


    Unconsciously, Li Yuan had already begun to retreat; continuing the fight seemed pointless.


    Both powerhouses could not overcome each other.


    ¡°Human martial artist.¡±


    ¡°I can feel your rage. Was the one I just killed your friend?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King looked at Li Yuan and said gravely, ¡°But you should understand that you are the invaders.¡±


    ¡°This is a racial struggle for survival space; does talking about invasion even matter? If your kind were powerful and had the chance to invade our world, would you stop?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold as he finally responded to the other party.


    ¡°You have a point,¡± agreed the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Just like when I followed the Beast Emperor into battle, through countless years I have killed many unyielding Beast Kings. Every rise of a Beast Emperor is accompanied with bloodshed and slaughter,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said, shaking his head, ¡°Discussing justice is indeed laughable.¡±


    ¡°But I believe you are aware of the situation. If my kind really went all out, the casualties among your humans would not be limited to what they are now,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King remarked, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan remained silent.


    This indeed was a point the high echelons of the Seven Star Civilization couldn¡¯t understand.


    The strength displayed by the native forces of Mingxu was too powerful¡­ Beings like the Three Great Beast Emperors, and even the Chi Yen Beast King at this level, had never taken action before.


    Why hadn¡¯t they acted? It was a mystery.


    If the Mingxu native forces were determined to attack at all costs, they could have possibly destroyed many bases of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, or even wiped them all out long ago.


    However.


    The might of the Mingxu native forces was exactly why the Seven Star Civilization high command chose to give up the many outlying bases and withdraw completely.


    If the Seven Star Civilization were to call all Prime Warriors from the Seven Star Mountain to Mingxu Star Realm and even allow a batch to break through, and if they used a wealth of rare treasures to rapidly enhance their strength and mobilize more Fourth-order Battleships¡­ they might have a chance to win.

 Chapter 518 - 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_4

    Chapter 518: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_4


    Defeating the Three Great Beast Emperors is not impossible.


    But the cost is too great.


    The Seven Star Civilization must be on guard, for the Second Rank Star Realms they vie for are not limited to just the Mingxu Star Realm.


    If we focus all our efforts on conquering the Mingxu Star Realm, what about the other Star Realms?


    ¡°With your strength, your status within the forces of your Human Race should also be extremely high,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King, staring at Li Yuan. ¡°I speak on behalf of the highest echelons of our world, hoping you will convey this to your superiors.¡±


    ¡°We do not wish to ignite a great war.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan stood in the void, already understanding somewhat why the native forces of Mingxu only destroyed a large number of bases and did not exterminate all the human Martial Artists everywhere.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings were not afraid of his peers, the True Intent Prime Warriors, nor the few who had just broken through to the Flying Heaven level.


    They feared the entire Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization.


    Compared to the two great civilizations, the native forces of Mingxu were very weak.


    ¡°Ten days, just withdraw from our world, and we will not attack,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said slowly. ¡°But if your bases are still here after ten days.¡±


    ¡°Then, it will truly be an unending war until death.¡±


    ¡°I think, you would not want to witness the spectacle of the Three Great Beast Emperors taking action,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King, staring at Li Yuan, declared. ¡°This is your final warning.¡±


    ¡°Your civilization is very powerful.¡±


    ¡°But if you want to occupy our world, believe me, the price you will pay¡­ will be more than you can bear,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King somberly. ¡°This is our world.¡±


    ¡°We will not retreat, we have no retreat!¡±


    With that said!


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King suddenly waved his hand, and two shields flew out. ¡°These are the weapons of those who died in battle; take them back with you.¡±


    Li Yuan stepped forward, manipulating the power of heaven and earth to catch the weapons of Wu Manong.


    ¡°Remember.¡±


    ¡°You only have ten days!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King did not transmit his voice anymore; his voice echoed through heaven and earth.


    Boom!


    The Chi Yen Beast King soared into the sky, transforming into a flame that streaked toward the distance.


    ¡­


    ¡°Ten days?¡±


    Li Yuan, looking at the shields floating in front of him left by Wu Manong, pondered, and then with a wave of his hand, he stored them into his Storage Treasure.


    Swish! Swish!


    Li Yang and Lei Meng flew up, with Lei Meng saying, ¡°Spirit Gun, thank you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for the rescue,¡± Li Yang also said.


    ¡°I arrived too late,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    If he had come a little earlier, Wu Manong would not have perished.


    ¡°We were careless,¡± said Li Yang solemnly. ¡°In the past few days, we have not encountered any ambushes by Flying Heaven level¡­ Who could have expected so many Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts to suddenly appear, even including that Chi Yen Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, you have already done enough,¡± said Lei Meng similarly. ¡°In war, casualties are inevitable; once we have entered the battle, we were already prepared to die.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Wars involving a Second Rank Star Realm as intense as the Mingxu Star Realm have been quite rare for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°What did that Chi Yen Beast King mean by ten days?¡± Li Yang suddenly asked.


    ¡°After ten days, if we have not retreated, then the local forces of the Mingxu Star Realm will no longer show mercy; all Three Great Beast Emperors will take action,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    Li Yang and Lei Meng were both startled.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back first.¡±


    ¡°This matter must be reported to the Alliance,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head. ¡°Let the demigods decide.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    The three of them left quickly.

    ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, you can¡¯t kill him alone,¡± said the Qing Sheng Beast King, his eyes flashing red, as he growled. ¡°If the Hei Guang Beast King and the Thunder Radiance Beast King were also called over, and you three joined forces, you could definitely kill that human Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng!¡±


    The Chi Yen Beast King glanced back, his voice frigid. ¡°Do you truly wish for our world to be destroyed?¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Hmm? Uncle Chi Yen, I didn¡¯t.¡± The Qing Sheng Beast King quickly explained, sensing the fury in the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t?¡±


    ¡°But your desired actions are exactly what is sending our entire world to its doom,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said in a deep voice. ¡°Could it be that only your good brother ¡®Hei Jing Beast King¡¯ has a life worth living, and the lives of other Beast Kings aren¡¯t, that they should obey your commands and march to their deaths?¡±


    ¡°Thirteen Beast Kings emerged together for this battle, and only eight survived. Don¡¯t you feel a thing in your heart?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King stared at the Qing Sheng Beast King.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King was taken aback, a feeling?


    ...


    Indeed, there wasn¡¯t much of an impact on his heart.


    In his eyes, if these ordinary Beast Kings died, then they died; there were plenty more under his father¡¯s command.


    Let alone five, even if fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings died, the Qing Sheng Beast King wouldn¡¯t care.


    As long as he and the Beast Kings close to him survived, that was enough.


    He sensed the unusual gazes of the Beast Kings around him.


    ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, I was wrong,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± the Chi Yen Beast King snorted coldly and said in a low voice, ¡°Not just you, Qing Sheng, the rest of you Beast Kings must be wondering why I, Thunder Beast King, and Hei Guang Beast King didn¡¯t take action earlier.¡±


    ¡°And probably wondering why, despite our alliance, the other two Great Beast Emperor forces are biding their time,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Many of the flying Beast Kings nodded.


    From the top down, many Beast Kings of the entire Ming Xu native forces were puzzled by this, when they could have easily swept those Foreign Civilizations¡¯ forces.


    This was also the reason why many Flying Heaven Beast Kings, after destroying a large number of human civilization¡¯s war bases, refused to obey the Beast Emperor¡¯s command and still sought to flee and hunt down the human Martial Artists.


    Because they wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.


    ¡°War is not child¡¯s play.¡±


    ¡°Our enemies are not just the forces we see before us,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King slowly said: ¡°Decades ago, these two civilization forces had already dispatched small forces to infiltrate¡­ but they did not expand, and after consultation among the Three Great Beast Emperors, we just observed in secret.¡±


    ¡°Over a year ago, a channel from outside the domain appeared, as the Beast Emperor stated, it was the expansion of the Star Realm passage that allowed Second Rank Life to enter and exit freely¡­ Their Second Rank powerhouses entered, and the influence within our world rapidly increased.¡±


    ¡°But before we took action, these two forces started fighting among themselves,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King solemnly. ¡°Naturally, we preferred to let them fight among themselves, we were just bystanders.¡±


    Many Beast Kings nodded, since there had been no war until now.


    ¡°Eventually.¡±


    ¡°This civilization known as ¡®Seven Stars¡¯ gained the upper hand,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said solemnly: ¡°They began to establish a large number of small bases¡­ They were preparing to take root in our world, destroying our foundation.¡±


    Coldness flickered in the eyes of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    Their races, mostly scattered around the world, all command vast territories¡­ For new Beast Kings to be born within their tribes, they need living space and territories. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The actions of the Seven Star Civilization, expanding thousands of kilometers at a time, surpassed the bottom line of these Flying Heaven Beast Kings and even the Beast Emperors; this was the root of the war outbreak.


    After all, how big is the entire Ming Xu world altogether?


    The Chi Yen Beast King did not mention the changes in the ¡®Divine Land¡¯¡­ These secrets were unnecessary to share with these ordinary Beast Kings.


    ¡°Our first wave of attacks was very successful, a great victory,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said slowly: ¡°Then what? The Seven Star Civilization quickly dispatched more Flying Heaven Martial Artists, sent more powerful Second Rank Life, Flying Heaven Martial Artists, to protect their fleeing First and Second Rank warriors.¡±


    ¡°And their technological weapons, most of the fallen Beast Kings were killed by technological weapons¡­¡±


    A chill went through the hearts of the Beast Kings.


    Especially the two Beast Kings who had taken part in the attack on the main base of the Seven Star Civilization, their expressions became even more grave.


    The main cannons of the Fourth-Order Battleships made a profound impression on them.


    Even a Level 33 Flying Heaven Beast King fell after just one hit.


    ¡°There were casualties, but the Seven Star Civilization had four main bases, and we successfully destroyed two of them.¡±


    ¡°And then, that human Martial Artist appeared,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said in a low voice: ¡°A mere Second Rank Life, I couldn¡¯t even deal with him¡­ Would the Beast Emperor definitely be able to slay him if he came?¡±


    Silence fell!


    The Beast Emperor, exalted above all, was an invincible existence in the minds of these Beast Kings; if in the past someone said the Beast Emperor could not kill a Second Rank Life, they would have taken it as a joke¡­ but the recent encounter, they had seen with their own eyes.


    And saying this was the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King,¡¯ the strongest below the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Do you dare say that human Martial Artist is the strongest Second Rank being of the Seven Star Civilization?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said solemnly: ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is unfathomable.¡±


    ¡°Without mentioning anything else, if that human Martial Artist breaks through to the Flying Heaven Realm within our world, by himself he could sweep across the entire world, and even the Three Great Beast Emperors wouldn¡¯t be a match for him,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King solemnly: ¡°Even if we use all our strength to eradicate this human Martial Artist, can we ensure the Seven Star Civilization won¡¯t send even stronger forces to kill us?¡±


    Not a sound could be heard, no one could refute.


    The face of the Qing Sheng Beast King turned extremely unsightly¡­ He too had thought of this.


    With the war escalating time after time, the Seven Star Civilization was indeed revealing ever stronger forces.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°Such a peerless prodigy would not lightly consent to be trapped in our world.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization also has its limits,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said: ¡°But all these premises are based on us not pushing them into a corner.¡±


    ¡°We did not eradicate them completely before because we did not want to create a vendetta,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said: ¡°Otherwise, if the Seven Star Civilization attacked desperately, we most likely would not be able to withstand it.¡±

    ¡°Chi Yen Senior.¡±


    ¡°Since we don¡¯t wish to make deadly enemies,¡± another Beast King, a giant turtle, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°why initiate this assassination? Doesn¡¯t this just further provoke them?¡±


    ¡°Because Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu are dead!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s eyes were ice-cold: ¡°Not wanting to start a war doesn¡¯t mean we should always back down.¡±


    ¡°I brought you all here, not just to take revenge.¡±


    ¡°If two powerful Beast Kings die and we show no response¡­ then these civilizations from beyond our domain will think us weak and easy to bully. Even if they withdraw now, they¡¯ll strike back later.¡±


    ¡°Only by making the Seven Star Civilization realize¡­ that we, the Mingxu Beast Clan, are strong and willing to fight to the death, so destroying us would come at an unimaginable cost,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King slowly said, ¡°will they truly be willing to negotiate with us.¡±


    ...


    Peace through war?


    All the present Flying Heaven Beast Kings thought of this phrase.


    ¡°Chi Yen Senior, are we really going to launch a full-scale assault in ten days?¡± a Beast King couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Fool!¡±


    ¡°Do we have to follow through on everything we say?¡± Chi Yen Beast King scoffed and said, ¡°If they withdraw from our world in ten days, naturally, that would be for the best.¡±


    ¡°Monitor them secretly, if they don¡¯t withdraw, we¡¯ll inform the Seven Star Civilization two days later that my previous ultimatum doesn¡¯t count¡­ the Three Great Beast Emperors have new orders.¡±


    ¡°In short, if both civilizations want to test our bottom line, we must delay, delay until the Three Great Beast Emperors leave the Divine Land,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said.


    All the Beast Kings nodded in agreement.


    ¡­


    Deep within Ming Mountain, the abode of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    Inside the palace in the middle of the lake.


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying you actually lost this battle?¡± Hei Guang Beast King looked at the Chi Yen Beast King in the projection.


    ¡°That human Martial Artist is terrifyingly strong,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said in a low voice.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Hei Guang Beast King nodded and said, ¡°A Flying Heaven Beast King, following our orders, has made contact with the ¡®Tianliang Civilization.¡¯ According to the information they provided¡­ this gun-wielding human Martial Artist should be the top genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡± Chi Yen Beast King muttered to himself.


    He noted down this name.


    ¡°How many Second Rank Lives like this are there in the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Chi Yen Beast King pressed.


    ¡°The Tianliang Civilization refuses to disclose that information,¡± Hei Guang Beast King shook his head and said, ¡°They only say that the Seven Star Civilization is far stronger than them, and if we want to protect the Mingxu Star Realm, there¡¯s only one option¡­ to unite with them. If we don¡¯t drive out the Seven Star Civilization, our Mingxu Star Realm will sooner or later get annihilated by them.¡±


    ¡°Unite?¡±


    Chi Yen Beast King snorted, ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, they want us to send in the Beast Kings to attack, and then they¡¯ll just give us some treasures and weapons, at most they might provide some Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡± Hei Guang Beast King nodded.


    ¡°From the current signs, the Seven Star Civilization is stronger and poses a greater threat,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said. ¡°But if we engage in an all-out brawl with the Seven Star Civilization, the losses would be too great, and the Tianliang Civilization, seizing the opportunity, would turn around and wipe us out.¡±


    ¡°Neither civilization is trustworthy.¡±


    ¡°What do the Beast Emperors say?¡± Chi Yen Beast King then asked.


    ¡°The Three Great Beast Emperors have been tracking that human Martial Artist known as ¡®Yu Jinghe¡¯ in the Divine Land,¡± Hei Guang Beast King said. ¡°But the Divine Land is vast, and they have not caught up¡­ It will still take a long time before the Three Great Beast Emperors come out.¡±


    ¡°After all, compared to occupying some territories from the two human civilizations, the Divine Land is more important.¡±


    Chi Yen Beast King nodded slightly.


    ¡°Chi Yen, what are your thoughts?¡± Hei Guang Beast King looked at him.


    ¡°In my opinion, it would be for the best if both human forces withdrew in accordance with the final ultimatum,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said. ¡°But most likely, they won¡¯t pull back.¡±


    ¡°Thus, it¡¯s better to tempt them to keep fighting each other than to fight to the death and possibly force them to join hands against us.¡±


    ¡°Their main bases, I remember, are only about two thousand kilometers apart¡­ Let¡¯s inform them both at the same time that we will grant them the territory within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius of that region,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said earnestly. ¡°I, the Mingxu Star Realm, will cede that territory, allowing them to proliferate greatly and to mine the resources within that domain.¡±


    ¡°Granting territory?¡± Hei Guang Beast King was stunned; this was unexpected to him.


    A ten-thousand-kilometer territory is less than one-tenth of the Mingxu Star Realm and isn¡¯t very significant.


    ¡°With such a plan, as long as they¡¯re not fools, they¡¯ll certainly notice something amiss,¡± Hei Guang Beast King couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°Won¡¯t they join forces to attack us?¡±


    ¡°So what if they do notice? This is an overt scheme,¡± Chi Yen Beast King shook his head and said. ¡°Do you think, the Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, can trust each other? They are the real sworn enemies.¡±


    ¡°Normally,¡±


    ¡°Neither civilization would prefer to occupy our world than to let the other gain an advantage.¡±


    Chi Yen Beast King slowly said, ¡°The key is, although our Mingxu Beast Clan is weak¡­ within our world, we have the advantage.¡±


    Hei Guang Beast King nodded unconsciously.


    The Mingxu Beast Clan was like a hedgehog with treasures, facing two fierce tigers¡­


    Both tigers wanted to devour the hedgehog and take its treasures, but feared getting injured by the hedgehog¡¯s spines, thereby giving the other tiger an advantage.


    Not wanting to be attacked by both tigers, the hedgehog only wanted to throw out part of its treasures, prompting the tigers to fight each other first.


    ¡°If we really give up such a large territory, wouldn¡¯t that be inviting the wolf into the house?¡± Hei Guang Beast King was still worried. ¡°They will establish even more large bases.¡±


    ¡°That will depend on the Three Great Beast Emperors,¡± Chi Yen Beast King shook his head and said. ¡°If one of the Beast Emperors can break through to become a Demigod¡­ there¡¯s no need to be concerned about these threats. No matter how strong the two civilizations are, they won¡¯t be able to do anything about it.¡±


    ¡°If our Mingxu Beast Clan can¡¯t give birth to a Demigod¡­¡± Chi Yen Beast King fell silent for a long while before saying, ¡°sooner or later, we will be completely devoured.¡± S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Before long, Li Yuan, Li Yang, and Lei Meng had returned to the Bright Moon Base.


    Outside the Fourth-order Battleship.


    ...


    Luo Chan, Tavares, and the over ten other people stationed at the base, having received the news, came forward to greet them with notably grave expressions on their faces.


    ¡°Tavares, eyes reddening, asked, ¡°Spirit Gun, is it true that Wu Manong has fallen in battle?¡±


    The burly man struggled to contain his emotions.


    ¡°Ah,¡± Li Yuan sighed softly, flipping his palm to retrieve two shields and spoke somberly, ¡°Tavares¡­ keep these weapons, and give them to his wife and child.¡±


    Wu Manong had a family; his wife was a Prime Warrior, and they had a son.


    With red-rimmed eyes and shaky hands, Tavares took the two shields.


    Everyone else felt a heavy sigh in their hearts.


    Wu Manong¡¯s death saddened everyone¡­ but in these times, scenes like this had become all too common.


    Yet, no one felt the grief as acutely as Tavares¡­ everyone knew that Wu Manong had two close friends who shared life and death.


    One was Yu Jinghe; for over a decade, they had sparred against each other as rivals but remained friends throughout.


    The other was Tavares.


    He and Wu Manong had the closest relationship, having fought side by side through countless life-and-death battles.


    ¡°The Chi Yen Beast King,¡± Tavares suddenly let out a series of low growls, knowing the killer was the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    Luo Chan, in a low voice, said, ¡°According to the message you sent back, the demigods have just finished meeting, and several of them want to see you.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded and followed Luo Chan toward the distant Fourth-order Battleship.


    No one else objected.


    They all knew the outcome of the battle between Spirit Gun and the Chi Yen Beast King¡­ and the strength displayed by Spirit Gun was both shocking and exciting to them.


    This increased their awe of the enigmatic ¡®Number One Prime Warrior of the Civilization.¡¯


    ¡­


    Huff! Huff!


    Li Yuan and Luo Chan flew into a small conference room deep within the battleship.


    Boom¡ªThe conference room door closed.


    Inside the conference room, three massive holographic screens projected three figures.


    They were all familiar to Li Yuan.


    Huff~


    The Battle Garment that had covered Li Yuan¡¯s face receded, revealing his visage.


    Next, Li Yuan¡¯s soul underwent a transformation, as he removed the covering of the Phantom Spirit Garment.


    Luo Chan, despite having known this, still felt a sense of amazement.


    ¡°Senior Bai Shan, Senior San Ye, Headmaster,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully.


    Everyone present was aware of their identities; there was no need for concealment.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯ve performed admirably in the Star Realm retreat operation; don¡¯t be too hard on yourself,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°War always brings casualties, and everyone who has fallen is a hero of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Their names will be inscribed in the history of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°The rise of a civilization is always accompanied by countless sacrifices,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine added. ¡°Whether it¡¯s your battles in the Second Level Star Realm, or our stand in the Third Level Star Realm, protecting the Fourth Level Star Realm¡­ generations in the distant future will remember our contributions.¡±


    ¡°The dead are gone, the living must continue to move forward.¡±


    Li Yuan listened in silence.


    Whether it was fending off foreign enemies or attacking other Star Realms¡­ whether it was Li Yuan or the powerful demigods before him, or the countless human Martial Artists who had sacrificed themselves throughout history.


    Their goal had always been one¡ªto ensure the survival of the Seven Star Civilization.


    To ensure its better survival!


    ¡­


    The discussion in the conference room continued.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your strength is so immense that, placed in the history of our civilization, you are the strongest Prime Warrior,¡± Fang Hai observed with a hint of admiration. ¡°No one else can catch up to you.¡±


    ¡°Even true intend Prime Warriors like Luo Chan, even if they break through to the Flying Heaven Level, won¡¯t be a match for you in the short term,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    Luo Chan, listening on the side, inwardly sighed, acknowledging the truth in this.


    The power displayed by Li Yuan in battle indeed put them, the true intend Prime Warriors, in a position of looking up to him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what are your thoughts on the ¡®ten-day ultimatum¡¯ from the Chi Yen Beast King?¡± San Ye Semi-Divine asked.


    Whether it was to fight or to fully retreat.


    As the strongest frontline warrior, Li Yuan¡¯s opinion was very important.


    ¡°`


    ¡°My strength is still not enough,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°I can¡¯t even kill the Chi Yen Beast King¡­ To think of killing the Three Great Beast Emperors, there is no hope at all.¡± S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Chi Yen Beast King is Fourth Rank.


    So it can be basically confirmed that the Three Great Beast Emperors should be Fifth Rank, thus their mastery of abilities must be at least at the intermediate rank of True Intent, and their strength far surpasses that of Fourth Rank in all aspects¡­ Even if in terms of weapons and Star Techniques, the Beast Emperors are weaker than the peak Flying Heaven warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan currently can¡¯t shake them.


    If encountered, it would be good enough just to save his life.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all briefly stunned.


    Wasn¡¯t it obvious that Li Yuan was no match for the Three Great Beast Emperors? Why suddenly say this?


    ¡°I need one month¡¯s time.¡±


    Li Yuan spoke again, his eyes calm, ¡°In one month, my strength will significantly improve, and I will have the confidence to fight a Beast Emperor, even to the point of killing one.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°To fight a Beast Emperor?¡±


    ¡°One month¡¯s time?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all shocked.


    Luo Chan, who was beside them, was even more dumbfounded.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength was already formidable, and it could get even stronger?


    ¡°Li Yuan, do you intend to break through to the Flying Heaven Level in the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± San Ye Semi-Divine seemed to think of something.


    The others all looked at Li Yuan.


    If Li Yuan broke through to the Flying Heaven Level, underwent a foundational transformation, and his strength surged greatly, then killing a Beast Emperor would naturally not be difficult.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be impulsive,¡± Fang Hai also spoke gravely, ¡°Even if the Mingxu Star Realm is important¡­ it¡¯s not worth staying here forever, the loss outweighs the gain.¡±


    ¡°Principal, rest assured, I will not be impulsive,¡± Li Yuan said, knowing what these alliance senior executives were worried about.


    ¡°How can you achieve this?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Those Three Great Beast Emperors, at least Fifth Rank¡­ the foundational gap is too great.¡±


    It¡¯s no wonder these demigods were losing their composure.


    Normally speaking, for a 29th Level genius Prime Warrior to be comparable to a 31st Level Flying Heaven Warrior was impressive enough.


    Exceptionally strong ones could be on par with 32nd Level human warriors, like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef.


    To be 29th Level and comparable to a 33rd Level? Before Li Yuan, the entire Seven Star Civilization only had one example!


    Fang Hai!


    Li Yuan, calculating his age, had just turned 20, and it was already incredible for him to be a match for the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Now, he was claiming that in another month he could be on par with a 35th Level Beast Emperor?


    How could they easily believe that?


    ¡°I can¡¯t explain the specific reasons, but I can only tell you seniors, I am capable,¡± Li Yuan said gravely, ¡°I will not joke with my own life.¡±


    All was silent.


    Luo Chan held his breath.


    After a long while,


    ¡°Alright, Li Yuan, we believe you,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said solemnly, ¡°In the coming month, we will fully retreat, giving up the Bright Moon Base¡­ We will only keep the Bright Moon Base as a strategic support point, allowing the Myriad Demons Civilization to draw the Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s firepower.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°The underground network has sent news that the Tianliang Civilization has already sought help from the Myriad Demons Civilization, judging by the time, the genius Prime Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization should be arriving soon,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Of course, the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn¡¯t care about territorial ownership, their goal is only the treasures of Ming Mountain¡­ they will probably head straight to Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Genius of the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, amazed by the intelligence network of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Such confidential information could actually be inquired about in advance.


    ¡°Could the Myriad Demons Civilization attack us in advance?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s possible,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°Therefore, considering the one month¡¯s time you requested, we have decided to retreat¡­ Once they catch a glimpse of a group of Fourth-order Battleships inside our base, they should give up attacking.¡±


    ¡°After all, the power of the Myriad Demons Civilization has its limits, as long as we temporarily show weakness, presenting a willingness to abandon the contest for the treasures of Ming Mountain¡­ They won¡¯t waste their energy fighting us.¡±


    ¡°Besides, we are also planning to let two True Intent Prime Warriors break through.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly, such a bold decision.


    Each True Intent Prime Warrior had the potential to become a demigod in the future¡­ To convince such geniuses to willingly stay in the Mingxu Star Realm was very difficult.


    ¡°All these plans are based on your ability to do what you promised,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said, ¡°Within a month, to possess the strength to rival a Beast Emperor.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    On the flight back, he had already begun to sense preliminarily within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­ There was more than a 90% certainty.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what help do you need?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    ¡°I need some treasures,¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment then said, ¡°I can use Seven Stars Points to buy them, but some treasures are so precious, I don¡¯t have the authority, and I need the demigods¡¯ help.¡±


    Quickly,


    Li Yuan took out a list of treasures, specifically for practicing the Ninefold Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± the Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Shadow Clone,¡± and the Fifth Layer Star Technique ¡°Wind Feather,¡± which listed all the materials he needed.


    These were the preparations he had made on the way back.


    If they could be gathered, it would be enough for Li Yuan to bring these Star Techniques to the limit of Second Order.

    Chapter 522: Chapter 306: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Conjecture! Spiritual Guidance (Extra 25)


    ¡°Treasure list?¡± San Ye Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and Fang Hai all looked at the list given by Li Yuan.


    Half a square of Fire Divine Crystal, Wood God Crystal, Water Divine Crystal, and Metal Divine Crystal¡­


    Emerald Spirit Bamboo, Sky Silk Stone, Ring Green Fruit, Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, Soul-devouring Ghost Wood¡­


    A dense array of all kinds of treasures, amounting to nearly a hundred items; even the two semi-divines and Fang Hai, as experienced as they were, found themselves somewhat astonished.


    Not to mention anything else, just the combined value of the two squares of Five Elements Divine Crystal alone reached 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    Enough to make a semi-divine take notice.


    ...


    As for the other numerous treasures, none required in a large quantity and most were not considered precious, but the variety was overwhelming.


    Moreover, a few of the treasures were extremely rare, only heard of but never seen before by the semi-divines and impossible to evaluate in terms of specific value.


    The conference room was silent as a tomb.


    ¡°Are these treasures very precious?¡± Luo Chan was curious in her heart; she dared not release her divine sense to inquire and couldn¡¯t see the list provided by Li Yuan clearly.


    But from the expressions of the several high-ranking alliance members, she guessed as much and was secretly startled.


    What exactly did Li Yuan ask for?


    Li Yuan too waited silently; he had no choice. To cultivate star techniques like ¡°Wind Feather¡± and ¡°Nine Shadow Clones¡± wasn¡¯t too demanding in terms of required treasures.


    But!


    ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± was different. It was a Supreme Star Technique¡­ and body refining star techniques were unanimously recognized as the premier slaughter star techniques!


    In short, once one made progress in cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± even among peers in the endless river of dimensions, it would be known for its invincible might.


    Such a fearsome star technique, with extreme difficulty in cultivation, demanded high proficiency in both Star Meridian Mystery and skill realm¡­ and to cultivate it fully required the aid of a vast amount of external substances.


    In fact, the list of treasures above wasn¡¯t complete, and ¡°an Earth Origin Crystal¡± was also needed, but as Li Yuan already had one, it wasn¡¯t listed.


    After a while.


    ¡°Li Yuan, must you have these treasures?¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°The other treasures are one thing, but for items like the Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, I¡¯m afraid our civilization¡¯s treasure vaults may not have them¡­ We must ask the Alliance Hierarch if he has them.¡±


    ¡°I must.¡± Li Yuan nodded solemnly, ¡°Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to match the Beast Emperor.¡±


    Without successfully cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan estimated that even if his skill realm perception reached the standard of a semi-divine, it wouldn¡¯t necessarily rival the Beast Emperor¡­ the difference in fundamental strength was too great.


    Foundations are extremely important.


    The several high-ranking officials looked at each other, and Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°Li Yuan, excluding the three most precious and rare treasures, the total value of all the other treasures combined¡­ exceeds 400,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°For such a large sum of treasures, even a semi-divine would almost find it impossible to produce,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head.


    ¡°Predecessor Bai Shan, I¡¯m not trying to take advantage¡­¡± Li Yuan said, remembering how the previous principal had only offered ¡°30,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Most semi-divines probably wouldn¡¯t keep that many Seven Stars Points on hand; they would usually convert them into strength.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you misunderstand.¡±


    San Ye Semi-Divine spoke softly, ¡°What we mean is, the alliance can advance these treasures to you¡­ after you clean sweep the entire Mingxu Star Realm, the alliance will then acknowledge your merits and offset it then.¡±


    ¡°Even if we don¡¯t ultimately take the Mingxu Star Realm, as long as you have sufficient strength and points in the future, you can repay the alliance.¡± San Ye Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°How does that sound to you?¡±


    ¡°Acceptable,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    This was essentially an interest-free loan.


    ¡°Li Yuan, for the other three treasures, I need to inquire with the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°You¡¯ll have to wait a moment.¡±


    ¡°All right,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Feixing, a place shrouded in mystery and connected to the Martial Divine Star Realm, was where Dongfang Ji was quietly cultivating.


    That blurry silhouette sat cross-legged amidst the void, as if he was in another space entirely.


    ¡°Master, Fang Hai is requesting communication, an urgent contact,¡± a deep voice resonated.


    ¡°Answer it,¡± the blurry silhouette said.


    Swiftly.


    Hum~


    A projection appeared, the dim light coalesced to form the phantom of Fang Hai.


    ¡°Master,¡± Fang Hai greeted with respect.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s concerning Li Yuan and the Mingxu Star Realm¡­¡± Fang Hai quickly recounted the situation, ¡°The other treasures can all be retrieved from the Seven Stars Treasury, but the Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, Soul-devouring Ghost Wood, and Black Rhino Iron¡­ the treasury lacks them. After much thought, I realized only you could possibly have a way.¡±


    Having said that, Fang Hai stood respectfully waiting for Dongfang Ji¡¯s decision.


    ¡°This treasure list?¡± Surprise flickered in the blurry silhouette¡¯s eyes.


    With his vast experience, listening to Fang Hai¡¯s description of the list, he had his suspicions.


    ¡°Tell Li Yuan, I can procure these three items for him, but it will take three days,¡± the blurry silhouette said directly, ¡°These treasures, with a total value of 100,000 Seven Stars Points¡­ can be initially charged to the treasury¡¯s account, but in the future, he will need to repay it.¡±


    ¡°Let the debt for this list of treasures be recorded under me,¡± Fang Hai suddenly said.


    ¡°Charge it all to you?¡± The blurry silhouette expressed surprise, ¡°Fang Hai, this is 500,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Last time, I acquired the Divine Visualization Method from Li Yuan, and only paid out 30,000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°I¡¯ve always felt indebted, and since Li Yuan was weaker before, he didn¡¯t need that many Seven Stars Points, so I was not in a hurry.¡±


    ¡°Now that Li Yuan just happens to need them, let it be charged to my account, and I will repay it in the future.¡±


    ¡°500,000 Seven Stars Points is still not comparable to one high-level Divine Visualization Method, but at least it¡¯ll ease my conscience,¡± Fang Hai stated earnestly.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded slightly. He knew his disciple had a different temperament and disliked being indebted to others. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Magnanimous and forthright.


    ¡°Fang Hai, have you made a breakthrough in your spiritual power?¡± Dongfang Ji suddenly inquired.


    ¡°As you¡¯ve discerned, Master,¡± Fang Hai revealed a slight smile.


    Indeed, his spiritual power had broken through restraints and bottlenecks over the past year with the aid of the Divine Visualization Method¡­ and had stepped into the Semi-Divine Level.


    ¡°Good,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes brightened.


    One moet remember, Fang Hai had already approached the threshold of Laws with his Flying Heaven Level spiritual power. Now possessing Semi-Divine Level spiritual power, his efficiency in comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth would skyrocket, and the speed of his strength improvement would rise dramatically.


    Bottlenecks? In Fang Hai¡¯s cultivation life, at present, there were no such restraints.


    Before Li Yuan came along, within the Seven Star Civilization, the person Dongfang Ji valued most was Fang Hai.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Seven Star Veins, are you confident?¡± Dongfang Ji asked the key question.


    ¡°There¡¯s hope,¡± Fang Hai nodded. ¡°I will strive to break through to Seven Star Veins before entering the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ If all goes well, once the breakthrough to semi-divine is complete, with a bit of time accumulating Origin Power, I should be able to surpass Senior Lant.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded slightly, very satisfied with Fang Hai¡¯s progress.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Go tell Li Yuan, within three days, I will have gathered the items,¡± Dongfang Ji said slowly. ¡°Tell him not to be hasty, occupying Mingxu Star Realm is secondary¡­ If there¡¯s no absolute certainty, do not take the risk.¡±


    ¡°Your disciple understands,¡± Fang Hai said.


    His figure thunderously vanished.


    This Void Land was left once again with Dongfang Ji sitting cross-legged in meditation, his form ethereal.


    ¡°Master, judging from the treasure list, Li Yuan is aiming to practice the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique.¡± The deep voice echoed. ¡°Has his Star Vein progressed this quickly?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s inconceivable.¡±


    ¡°The Ninefold Star Technique requires Nine Layer Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°To practice two Ninefold Star Techniques, even in the Divine Court branch, is extremely rare, and only a group of top talents located in the Divine Realm dare to say they can definitely practice them,¡± the deep voice went on, chatting away as if it couldn¡¯t stop.


    Clearly, the list of treasures had greatly shocked him.


    ¡°He has indeed awoken new Nine Layer Star Veins quite quickly, but it¡¯s not beyond my expectations,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently. ¡°However¡­ that he actually has the corresponding Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique, it seems the secrets of Fierce Feather Star Realm are even greater than we imagined.¡±


    ¡°Yes, the semi-divine inheritance is most likely false; it was probably a more powerful Divine,¡± the deep voice said. ¡°Normally, a false god who¡¯s just ignited the Divine Fire, even if they learned the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique¡­ wouldn¡¯t likely be qualified to leave behind an inheritance. I suspect he¡¯s received the legacy of a true Divine, it¡¯s just unclear which one from the war ten thousand years ago.¡±


    ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°All secrets will eventually be revealed.¡±


    ¡°As long as Li Yuan is loyal to our Seven Star Civilization, that¡¯s enough for now,¡± Dongfang Ji said, closing his eyes gently. ¡°The ¡®Battle of Divine of the Nine Mountains World¡¯ that happened ten thousand years ago, there were only so many powerful divines participating, and those of the Earth System were even rarer¡­ Mm, those three treasures Li Yuan needs, you go find ¡®Fang Yao Divine¡¯ from the Multiverse Commerce Guild to gather them for me within a day.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, master.¡±


    ¡­


    Mingxu Star Realm, Bright Moon Base, in the meeting room.


    Everyone was waiting patiently.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    One of the projections, Fang Hai who had been closing his eyes all along, suddenly opened them, revealing a slight smile: ¡°It¡¯s all set. In two days, most of the treasures on the list will be delivered.¡±


    ¡°In four days, those three most precious treasures will also be gathered and sent to you, alright?¡±


    ¡°However, those three most precious types of treasure have a total value of 100,000 Seven Stars Points and together with the other treasures you¡¯ve requested¡­ it¡¯ll come to a total of 500,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Fang Hai changed ¡®three days¡¯ to ¡®four days.¡¯


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded, 500,000 Seven Stars Points? Indeed, it was an extravagant fortune.


    But as long as he could practice them, it would be worth it.


    Not to mention within the Seven Star Civilization, even looking at the entire Dimensional Domain¡­ how many can practice two Supreme Star Techniques at the same time?


    Even the powerful Ancient Torch Divine only cultivated the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to Perfection of the same rank.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, then you go ahead and practice first, if you need anything, just communicate with any one of us three,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Yes, Principal.¡±


    ¡­


    After finalizing the many details.


    Li Yuan did not return to Xia Country to perform Spiritual Guidance, but chose to retreat within Bright Moon Base.


    ¡°The Hall of Inheritance is absolutely safe, but Gu You¡¯s Perception Ability is too strong.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I¡¯ve requested many rare and precious treasures; perhaps the semi-divines might not notice, but what about Alliance Hierarch Dongfang?¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°Will he guess that I am practicing a Supreme Star Technique?¡±


    ¡°Once I return, will he secretly observe me?¡±


    Li Yuan greatly admired the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang; he had been his idol since he was young.


    But because of his admiration and gradual contact with him, he grew more in awe of Dongfang.


    And the same went for Gu You.


    ¡°Spiritual Guidance involves the Mind Spirit Divine Palace,¡± Li Yuan mused silently. ¡°This is my biggest secret¡­ I can¡¯t reveal it unless I¡¯m absolutely capable of protecting myself.¡±


    If the Nine Layer Star Vein is exposed? It doesn¡¯t matter; it can be attributed to his innate talent for Star Veins.


    If the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is revealed, everything becomes unpredictable.


    ¡­


    Inside a Fourth-order Battleship, in a Quiet Chamber.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense enveloped all directions, ensuring there was no power spying.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, it was highly unlikely for anyone to have a higher Skill Realm or spiritual power than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Even if the Three Great Beast Emperors join forces to attack, they couldn¡¯t break through a Fourth-order Battleship instantly,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew even calmer. ¡°I hope everything goes smoothly.¡±


    Wu Manong¡¯s death, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t say he was too heartbroken, he was just somewhat sentimental; after all, their emotional bond was not that deep.


    But Li Yuan became more keenly aware of one thing¡ªbecoming stronger! He must become even stronger!


    ¡°To become the strongest Second Rank Life in history.¡±


    ¡°The first Prime Warrior of civilization? Not enough! I must become the strongest Second Rank Life in the history of many civilizations in the entire Dimensional Domain,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart vowed silently. ¡°Only then can I completely pacify the many Second Level Star Realms, making our Seven Star Civilization stronger.¡±


    The strength of a civilization must be upheld by generation after generation of strong individuals stepping forward, contributing.


    The first generation of Martial Artists stepped forward, shaped the Law with their bodies, sacrificed their lives, and initiated the beginning of life evolution for the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Semi-Divine Lant stepped forward, saving the Seven Star Civilization from its first crisis of extinction.


    The rise of Alliance Hierarch Dongfang made the Seven Star Civilization truly powerful, causing many Foreign Civilizations to fear, daring not to invade again.


    ¡°And I.¡±


    ¡°I have the chance to surpass all predecessors in the history of Seven Star Civilization, even surpassing Senior Dongfang, to become a Divine.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s travels through more Star Realms, the more he saw, the stronger this obsession became in his heart.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness entering the second level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    He began the second Spiritual Guidance.

 Chapter 523 - 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)

    Chapter 523: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)


    Rustle~ Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness condensed, easily passing from the first to the second layer of white jade staircase under the oppression of spiritual power.


    He arrived at the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    The second layer hadn¡¯t changed much compared to before, save for that one Jade Platform.


    But in the hall, golden mist wafted about.


    ¡°The first Spiritual Guidance came when my Spiritual Awakening Level reached 25%, so no Origin Power entered my body, and thus, no golden mist,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°But the second Spiritual Guidance, activated when the Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, does that overlap with the entry of Origin Power?¡±


    So much time had passed.


    ...


    The more Li Yuan explored the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the more he understood, and many of his previous conjectures had been confirmed.


    With every 10% increase in Spiritual Awakening Level, golden mist would emerge as the source of the power from the Origin Power entering his body.


    Spiritual Guidance, on the other hand, occurred every 25% increase, guiding him within the space of the Life Star.


    ¡°Unfortunately, I can¡¯t use this golden mist to enhance my Physical Quality for now,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having broken through to level 37 of spiritual power and feeling a change in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan had tried¡­ The Origin Power could no longer merge into his flesh, nor could it merge into the Sea of Source Energy.


    Because Li Yuan hadn¡¯t yet condensed an Origin Pill.


    ¡°Even if I don¡¯t actively advance to level 30, my Physical Quality has reached a limit; no amount of golden mist can further improve it,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°This time, the entrance of Origin Power can only be set aside for now.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that this golden mist can¡¯t promote the growth of spiritual power alone.¡±


    The previous four times when Origin Power entered his body.


    The golden mist could assist both with physical transformation and the growth of spiritual power¡­ But this time, Li Yuan also attempted to integrate the golden mist into his consciousness body, trying to help his spiritual power transform.


    He found that it was unsuccessful.


    ¡°The entry of Origin Power, enhancing Physical Quality is the core; the fusion of golden mist into consciousness¡­ only comes with the growth of spiritual power as an added benefit,¡± Li Yuan affirmed this understanding.


    Advance to the Flying Heaven level? Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t do it¡­


    Less than two years since he became a Prime Warrior, nowhere near awakening his Star Meridians to their limits, Li Yuan naturally wouldn¡¯t break through.


    ¡°My goal is to reach the Eight Star Veins while I¡¯m still a Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan contemplated.


    The longer he cultivated, the more Li Yuan realized the difficulty of awakening the Star Meridians; the difficulty increased exponentially the further he progressed.


    Yet Li Yuan never abandoned his goal of achieving the Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    As he pondered, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness condensed on the second layer¡¯s Jade Platform in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    This Jade Platform had only been successfully used once during the first Spiritual Guidance.


    After that, no matter how Li Yuan tried, there was no response.


    But today.


    ¡°Boom!¡± When Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness focused on the Jade Platform, he felt as if it had an invisible suction force, quickly absorbing his consciousness into it.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t stop the process, or rather, he simply went with the flow.


    Seconds later.


    Li Yuan¡¯s surroundings transformed, and he found himself in the endless dark starry sky, with countless twinkling stars in the distant void¡­ He was once again in the familiar space of his Life Star.


    And today was obviously different from usual days.


    ¡°Five Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan could easily sense, in this vast space, the five Star Veins formed by countless Life Stars¡­ as well as a multitude of scattered, unconnected Life Stars.


    This was the result of Li Yuan¡¯s years of solitary cultivation and Law Creation.


    ¡°Hopefully, with the help of the second Spiritual Awakening, I can ascend to a higher level,¡± Li Yuan anticipated in his heart.


    His inner tranquility stirred a wisp of peculiar change in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Time elapsed.


    Gradually.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In the vast space of the Life Star, streaks of purple mist emitting a strange glow appeared out of nowhere.


    These streams emerged from the very depths of the Life Star space, crossed the vast space in the blink of an eye, and drifted toward Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body.


    ¡°Here they come.¡± Li Yuan, whose spiritual power now greatly surpassed that of his first Spiritual Guidance, detected these purple streams.


    At the same time, he also felt the vitality and liveliness contained in these streams.


    It was very mysterious.


    Clearer than during the first Spiritual Guidance, Li Yuan waited patiently.


    Seconds later.


    ¡°Hum~¡± The first strand of purple mist merged silently into Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body, combining perfectly.


    In an instant!


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan felt his field of vision in his consciousness body expand rapidly: ¡°Have I changed?¡±


    It was as if the lens had zoomed out sharply, yet it was clearer than before.


    This state was bizarre, yet incredibly real.


    ¡°Five Star Veins!¡±


    ¡°Life Stars!¡±


    ¡°Countless stars.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®vision¡¯ finally stabilized.


    At that moment, empowered by the purple mist, his perspective was elevated to its peak; he felt as if he could overlook the entire Life Star space and had a sense of control over everything.


    One star after another, endless!


    All these countless stars were asleep, whether Dead Stars, or unawakened Life Stars¡­ all under Li Yuan¡¯s perception and observation.


    ¡°My Perception Ability seems to be stronger than during the first Spiritual Guidance,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    Last time, he could only observe most of the Dark Space.


    This time, he could faintly glimpse the whole picture.


    ¡°Those are the unawakened Life Stars.¡± In this strange state, Li Yuan could feel the very few exceptions among billions of silent stars.


    Life Stars are the rare few.


    With a body like the universe, billions of Dead Stars¡­ finding the awakened Life Stars is like panning for gold in a desert, normally very difficult, and a slight misstep can backfire.


    Therefore, even for those extraordinary geniuses, awakening Star Veins is incredibly challenging and slow. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At this moment.


    ¡°Seeking the minuscule in the dust, combining two into one¡­¡± That vast and profound voice suddenly echoed, and Li Yuan had been patiently waiting for this moment.

    Chapter 524: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_2


    His realm had far surpassed the past, and only by listening once more could Li Yuan appreciate the profundity of this sound, which could be called the ¡°Sound of the Great Dao¡±.


    It contained a strange power, guiding Li Yuan.


    ¡°Follow the sensation.¡±


    ¡°Divine merges with stars! Divine merges with body! Divine merges with intent!¡± Li Yuan followed the invisible guidance of the Sound of the Great Dao.


    Whoosh~ His consciousness instantly scattered completely, diversifying into myriad parts. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Huh!


    ...


    Tens of thousands of spiritual thoughts crossed the vast space of the Life Star in an instant, easily perceiving those few unawakened Life Stars that twinkled faintly among the billions of stars¡­ The entire process was astonishingly fast.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The numerous spiritual thoughts that Li Yuan had divided into had already fused directly into the sensed stars, swiftly imprinting his own Mark.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    It was as if a city, in a sudden, had been lit up, the space of the Life Star that already had some brightness¡­ was becoming visibly brighter at a speed perceptible to the naked eye!!


    Ten thousand! Twenty thousand! Thirty thousand¡­ A vast number of Life Stars were being lit up simultaneously at this moment.


    As a Second Rank Life, the difficulty of Li Yuan¡¯s Life Star awakening was a whole level higher than when he was at the First Rank.


    Similarly, his spiritual power was also much stronger than before.


    ¡°Invisible guidance.¡±


    ¡°Perfect Star Vein.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s strong soul barely maintained consciousness.


    He himself knew.


    Among those tens of thousands of Life Stars that were almost awakened simultaneously, many belonged to already awakened Star Meridians¡­ and a large number of Life Stars belonged to unawakened Star Meridians.


    On two of the Star Meridians, when the last Life Star awakened, a total of 129,600 Life Stars came together, forming a sense of perfection.


    One less Life Star was flawed, one more was superfluous.


    Flawlessly perfect!


    This, was the new Perfect Star Vein.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The previously scattered, unstructured Life Stars, also reached the critical point of Star Vein awakening¡­ and began to circulate.


    This, was the awakening of new Star Meridians!


    ¡­


    In the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his body constantly radiating a hazy divine glow, occasionally enveloped by a strand of light circling around him.


    After a long while.


    The light converged all over his body, returning to normal, and Li Yuan opened his eyes.


    ¡°Eight hours?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness had always been clear, fully aware of his own changes.


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept directly over a line on the Divine Palace panel:


    [Star Meridian: 6 Star Meridians (10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+6 Layers+6 Layers+4 Layers)]


    ¡°The second Spiritual Guidance has completed the second and third Star Meridians into Perfect Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan marveled silently, ¡°and also greatly advanced the other Star Meridians.¡±


    The first Spiritual Guidance went from nothing to something, causing Li Yuan to awaken his first Perfect Star Vein.


    The second time, it was about completion! And it also awakened the sixth Star Meridian.


    ¡°It also awakened a large number of chaotic and unstructured Life Stars,¡± Li Yuan noted silently, ¡°bringing me much closer to awakening the seventh Star Meridian.¡±


    It could be said.


    The second Spiritual Guidance had effects that far exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°At the very least, I now have the foundation to cultivate three Supreme Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°In this regard, I¡¯ve already surpassed the Ancient Torch Divine.¡±


    The number of Star Meridians determines the upper limit of one¡¯s physical realm.


    The quality of the Star Meridians determines the upper limit of the Star Techniques.


    Among the civilizations in the Dimensional Domain, Nine Layers Star Veins are nearly mythical¡­ Now that Li Yuan has awakened three Perfect Star Veins, it would definitely cause a huge disturbance if word got out.


    Luckily!


    Star Meridians are inconspicuous and hard to detect, and as Li Yuan¡¯s own strength increases, it will become even harder for Demigods to spy on them.


    After pondering for a moment.


    ¡°Principal, I now have enough confidence that, once the treasure is in place, I will be able to match the Beast Emperor in a month,¡± Li Yuan chose to send a message to Fang Hai.


    Shortly thereafter.


    Fang Hai had already replied: ¡°Within three days, all the treasures will be delivered.¡±


    ¡°Three days?¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, and then resumed his focused cultivation, with the many intricacies of condensing the Star Mark of the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± emerging in his mind.


    ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± is an extension of the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± with the two being closely related.


    There are many similarities between their Star Marks.


    As a powerful individual who has grasped the Second Rank Star Marks of the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan found even the comprehension of the Mysteries of the Star Marks of the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± challenging, deep, and profound.


    ¡°So complex.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for my insight into the True Meaning of Earth, it would be almost impossible to succeed,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, patiently contemplating.


    He must fully grasp the Mysteries of the Star Marks before attempting to imprint them on the Life Star.


    Luckily, as long as he could replicate and imprint, there was no need for complete understanding.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation in the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    The outside world, the Seven Star Civilization, had begun a large-scale mobilization.


    ¡°Abandon Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°Evacuate! Dismantle everything useful, and evacuate.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t defend two bases at once, we will lose them both,¡± orders were issued one after another.


    Many Martial Artists of the Bright Moon Base were filled with reluctance, especially those who had been stationed at Bright Moon Base for decades, felt an even deeper unwillingness to leave.


    In their hearts, this place was their hometown.


    But the current situation left them no choice.


    ¡°Let¡¯s withdraw, concentrate our forces on Bright Moon Base, as long as we¡¯re alive, as long as we haven¡¯t given up, there¡¯s still hope of winning in the future.¡±


    ¡°Once we win the war completely, we¡¯ll return to Bright Moon Base,¡± many Martial Artists comforted each other.


    But in their hearts, most felt pessimistic.


    This past year, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s expansion in the Mingxu Star Realm went from victory to defeat¡­ especially the recent major rout, which greatly oppressed the spirits of countless Martial Artists, all shrouded in a sense of impending failure.


    Even the appearance of the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± slaughtering all directions, only stemmed this downward trend.

    Chapter 525: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_3


    Just one sentence!


    No matter how strong the Spirit Gun is, can it kill the Beast Emperor? Without the strength to defeat the Beast Emperor, victory in this Star Realm war is doomed.


    ¡­


    Day by day, a large number of First and Second Rank Martial Artists were withdrawn back to Xia Country.


    To preserve the fighting force.


    And the True Intent Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors, who were originally stationed at the Bright Moon Base, all arrived at the Bright Moon Base.


    ...


    This also caused the ¡°Flying Heaven Level combat power¡± of the Bright Moon Base to quickly reach 40.


    Inside the conference room of a Fourth-order Battleship.


    ¡°Tavares, Jiang Zai,¡± said the San Ye Semi Divine through the projection, ¡°you two need to think carefully¡­ Once you break through, you won¡¯t be able to retreat and will be trapped here forever.¡±


    ¡°The passage to the Mingxu Star Realm has just expanded, and it¡¯s nearly impossible to expand to a Third Level Star Realm in a short amount of time.¡±


    ¡°Semi Divine, I¡¯ve thought it through,¡± Tavares said in a low voice. ¡°To fully conquer this world, we need extremely strong Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ Li Yang, Lei Meng, they are average in realm and comprehension, even if given a hundred years, they might not reach the Flying Heaven Peak level.¡±


    ¡°Only we, once we break through, have a hope of reaching the Flying Heaven Peak within ten years, at least reaching Second Rank. By then, whether it¡¯s internal war or future defense, there will be no more challengers,¡± Tavares said.


    ¡°Someone has to take charge.¡±


    ¡°Moreover,¡± said Jiang Zai, ¡°the Mingxu Star Realm is vast enough to not be boring¡­ perhaps, one might even become a Semi Divine in the Mingxu Star Realm, and after many years, if our Seven Star Civilization has spread, perhaps we will be regarded as the ancestors of a realm.¡±


    San Ye Semi Divine and Tavares couldn¡¯t help but laugh at Jiang Zai¡¯s words.


    But upon careful thought, it was indeed possible.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°We aim to conquer the Mingxu Star Realm, and indeed we need strong people to make contributions,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said slowly. ¡°Rest assured¡­ the alliance will treat you fairly. After your breakthrough, there will be no shortage of cultivation resources for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Semi Divine,¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai both said in unison.


    That same day.


    Tavares and Jiang Zai began to condense Origin Pills within the warship¡­ Once this step is taken, there¡¯s no turning back.


    ¡­


    September 6th.


    Li Yuan, who had been in secluded cultivation at the Bright Moon Base, finally received the news.


    He took the Star Realm passage back to Jiangnan Province in Xia Country.


    The world was still shrouded in misty rain, in the sky outside a war base.


    ¡°Principal,¡± Li Yuan greeted with respect.


    ¡°I always feel you have changed a lot in just a few days,¡± Fang Hai said with a light sigh, ¡°You always give us surprises.¡±


    ¡°Thanks to the principal¡¯s guidance and help,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°I won¡¯t take credit from Li Yang and Lie Feng Semi Divine. I haven¡¯t meddled in your path of cultivation,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile as he flipped his hand and handed over a Storage Treasure.


    ¡°Everything you need is in here, check it yourself,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t dare to be careless and let his Divine Sense seep into the silver sliver.


    He checked each treasure one by one.


    All were correct.


    ¡°Thank you, Principal,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I will certainly pay back these 500,000 Seven Stars Points to the alliance as soon as possible.¡±


    Li Yuan had no intention of taking advantage.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°These treasures are considered a gift I purchased and delivered to you,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°Also as a compensation for the Visualization Method you gave me last time.¡±


    ¡°Visualization Method?¡± Li Yuan was a bit bewildered and asked, ¡°Principal, didn¡¯t you give me 30,000 points at that time?¡±


    ¡°Ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Do you really think 30,000 points can buy a Divine Visualization Method?¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s conclude this matter. These 500,000 Seven Stars Points are my compensation,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°You use these treasures to cultivate in peace¡­ Don¡¯t take unnecessary risks, and if you feel you can¡¯t defeat the Beast Emperor after completing your cultivation, don¡¯t force yourself.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Not long afterward.


    Watching Fang Hai leave, Li Yuan pondered for a long time, making sure there was no one around to sense him.


    Hum~


    Li Yuan disappeared into the mist and rain along the invisible fluctuations.


    Ancient Divine Palace, waiting in this area, Li Yuan had already sensed the presence of the Ancient Divine Palace upon his return to Xia Country.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, in the spacious hall. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere, and a girl in white slowly walked down from the void in the hall, puzzled, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back so soon? Is the war in the Mingxu Star Realm over?¡±


    ¡°Not yet.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve encountered some trouble,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m preparing to go into seclusion for a month, striving to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, and then go back to the fight.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, cultiva¡­,¡± the girl began to respond but suddenly realized the implication, ¡°All Things Divine Body?¡±


    ¡°Brother, have you awakened the second of the Nine Layer Star Veins?¡± the girl asked in shock, staring at Li Yuan, ¡°So soon?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just been cultivating methodically,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Before I knew it, the second Star Vein reached the Nine Layers.¡±


    Before I knew it?


    The girl fell silent.


    ¡°Fine, it¡¯s a good thing,¡± the girl showed a smile, ¡°Then go on and cultivate.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan turned and walked down a distant corridor, entering the ¡®Divine Crystal Chamber.¡¯


    The girl stood there.


    ¡°Really, he¡¯s cultivating the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯,¡± the girl inwardly sighed.


    She controlled the entire Ancient Divine Palace and could monitor every corner of it if she wished.


    ¡°Methodical cultivation?¡± The girl shook her head slightly, ¡°My brother must be hiding a big secret.¡±


    It was a common practice for beings to have hidden secrets, so the girl was not surprised.


    ¡°I just hope that such surprises come more and more,¡± the girl¡¯s lips curved in a slight smile, ¡°With such a high Star Vein talent, perhaps, once he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, he really has a hope to awaken the Eight Star Veins and cultivate the three Supreme Star Techniques.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s talent indeed exceeded Gu You¡¯s understanding.


    ¡­


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.

    Chapter 526: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_4


    Li Yuan sat silently, sensing the rich Divine Crystal Energy around him.


    ¡°Normally, a Prime Warrior has limited physical quality and can cultivate up to two Star Techniques at most,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°If I want to battle against Flying Heaven Peak elites, I must cultivate the fourth Star Technique to stand a better chance.¡±


    Therefore, the only option was to elevate the upper limit of his physical quality.


    ¡°I¡¯ve cultivated the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ which significantly enhances my physical quality beyond that of other Prime Warriors, allowing me to successfully cultivate the third Star Technique, ¡®Shadow Division Technique,''¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now, the only way is to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the limit of a Prime Warrior, to have a chance of cultivating four Star Techniques.¡±


    This was also why the Body Refining Star Technique was known as the ¡®Origin of All Techniques.¡¯


    It could enhance the strength, and even the potential, of a warrior in all aspects.


    ...


    Boom! With a wave of his hand, Li Yuan instantly made countless precious treasures appear.


    ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    Li Yuan began to channel the corresponding Star Technique¡¯s mystery within him, an intangible force acting upon the multitude of precious treasures.


    He started to absorb the essence contained within them.


    Even though Li Yuan had made thorough preparations,


    transforming the Great Earth Divine Body into the All Things Divine Body was destined to take a very long time.


    Transformation of the body couldn¡¯t be rushed.


    Being too hasty could easily lead to mistakes in cultivation, causing damage to the body or even leading to its collapse.


    Ten minutes later.


    Assisted by many rare items.


    ¡°The first, First Order All Things Star Mark!¡± Li Yuan successfully imprinted a Star Mark on his Life Star.


    Even if it was a Supreme Star Technique, since it was still a First Order Star Mark, it was relatively easy for Li Yuan to cultivate.


    In just one day, Li Yuan cultivated the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the First Order Limit.


    But there wasn¡¯t much change to his body.


    ¡°Second Order All Things Star Mark,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°This is the real challenge.¡±


    The difficulty of imprinting a Second Order Star Mark skyrocketed by more than dozens of times.


    ¡­


    As days passed, Li Yuan was deeply immersed in cultivation inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    The situation in the outside world was also changing.


    September 10th.


    At Tianliang Star, outside a Star Realm entrance.


    A group of powerful beings stood in the void, all emanating strong auras.


    The leader was a blonde man dressed in purple robes, with a high nose and sunken eye sockets, his eyes deep. He exuded a supremely domineering aura.


    A young man in black, with the weakest aura, stood by the side of the blonde man.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    The young man in black couldn¡¯t help but send a voice transmission, ¡°There¡¯s no need for someone of your stature to personally welcome the highly talented Lu Lei and Rolbis.¡±


    His teacher was one of the pinnacle existences of the Tianliang Civilization¡ªJin Liang Semi Divine.


    Now, he was one of the three great councilors of the Tianliang Civilization, his strength extremely frightening, absolutely at the peak of demigod existence.


    ¡°Fu Yuan, be patient,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine said slowly, ¡°Your talent far exceeds that of Yu Fu and others. Now you have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage as a Prime Warrior¡­ But your temperament is far from adequate, still needing much polishing.¡±


    Fu Yuan was known as the number one Prime Warrior of the current Tianliang Civilization!


    In terms of strength, he was probably close to Jing He¡­ however, he hadn¡¯t participated in the great battle of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°Disciple will remember well,¡± replied Fu Yuan verbally, though not truly taking it to heart.


    Suddenly!


    Ripples spread across the distant curtain of light.


    ¡°Here it comes,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine¡¯s eyes focused slightly. Not just him, but the other demigods and Flying Heaven Peak elites around him also lit up with expectation in their eyes.


    Only Fu Yuan was clueless.


    Boom!


    A young man wearing black Combat Armor stepped out and emerged from the Star Realm gateway.


    As he appeared, it was as if the whole world changed for a moment, a brutal and bloody aura spreading rapidly, causing the complexions of the many Flying Heaven Warriors present to change dramatically.


    Fu Yuan, being the weakest, felt almost suffocated.


    The aura was too terrifying.


    Everyone had to admit, in the presence of the young man in black Combat Armor, even the formidable Jin Liang Semi Divine seemed markedly inferior.


    ¡°Jin Liang, long time no see,¡± said the young man in black Combat Armor, his voice hoarse.


    ¡°Ye An, over the years, your strength has grown stronger,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine sincerely admitted. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom!


    Fu Yuan¡¯s eyes widened in realization of who the person was!


    Ye An Semi Divine, the first demigod of the Myriad Demons Civilization, touted as the closest being to a god in their ranks.


    He had actually come?


    ¡ª¡ª


    PS: Asking for a monthly ticket! Brothers!

 Chapter 527 - 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior

    Chapter 527: Chapter 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior


    To Ye An Semi-Divine,


    Fu Yuan had heard of his legendary tales.


    The Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization were originally from the same lineage, just as many Star Realms are completely interconnected.


    In a sense, the Tianliang Civilization is a sub-civilization of the Myriad Demons Civilization, and related rumors and messages are even more prevalent.


    The most famous battle of Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s legendary deeds was the one a hundred years ago, where the Myriad Demons Civilization invaded the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Ye An Semi-Divine also participated in that battle.


    In the end, he was the only one who survived an encounter with Dongfang Ji and managed to escape.


    ...


    Back then, Ye An Semi-Divine was mocked many times.


    But later, as Dongfang Ji grew ever stronger and his fame soared¡­ the battle with Dongfang Ji from those years, on the contrary, contributed to the fame of Ye An Semi-Divine.


    Now, Ye An Semi-Divine is universally acknowledged as the unparalleled existence amongst the demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Even Jin Liang Semi-Divine, held in high esteem within the Tianliang Civilization, far from compared to the other.


    ¡°I pay my respects to Ye An Semi-Divine,¡± said the group of Flying Heaven Peak Martial Artists, along with Fu Yuan, with a respectful salute.


    ¡°Ye An Semi-Divine,¡± the other demi-gods slightly bowed their heads, as a sign of respect.


    Among the demigods, the gaps in strength and status are also astoundingly large.


    Among the many strong ones present, only Jin Liang Semi-Divine had the qualifications to speak with him.


    ¡°Ye An, you¡¯ve actually come this time,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just a contest over a Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°If it were an ordinary Second Level Star Realm contest, indeed it wouldn¡¯t matter,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine said indifferently, ¡°But since Ming Mountain¡¯s treasures are involved, even the Eastern Demon Deity is quite concerned¡­ Thus, he has commanded me to come here and ensure the treasures are seized.¡±


    The Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses were slightly puzzled, but the demi-gods felt a chill in their hearts.


    Eastern Demon Deity!


    You must know that, similar to the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Myriad Demons Civilization internally has many divine kingdoms, each founded by a ¡®divine,¡¯ serving as an extremely ancient and powerful civilization with a long inheritance, with numerous divine kingdoms within the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But, divines do die!


    Many ancient civilizations, occasionally produce a divine, swiftly rising to power, but once the divine falls¡­ that civilization naturally declines.


    As for the Myriad Demons Civilization, divines are born generation after generation, always having a divine in power, hence its heritage is naturally unfathomably deep.


    The Eastern Demon Deity is currently the ¡®first divine¡¯ of the Myriad Demons Civilization, with an overwhelming might.


    Only such an existence, with a single command, could bring Ye An Semi-Divine here.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Within the Star Realm passage, three more figures emerged consecutively, following behind Ye An Semi-Divine.


    Their life force was very weak, yet they drew the attention of Jin Liang Semi-Divine and others.


    Second Rank Life?


    The numerous powerhouses of the Tianliang Civilization understood that if things were as usual, the super geniuses participating in the battle from the Myriad Demons Civilization this time should be these three.


    ¡°You three, meet Jin Liang Semi-Divine,¡± said Ye An Semi-Divine slowly.


    ¡°Lu Lei, I¡¯ve seen the Semi-Divine,¡± said the burly man in purple Combat Armor solemnly, his humanoid form boasted a torso covered in golden fur, giving him the appearance of a lion at first glance.


    ¡°Rolbis, I¡¯ve seen the Semi-Divine,¡± the handsome young man, oozing nobility, bowed.


    ¡°Xue Yan,¡± the last black-clad youth¡¯s demeanor was cold as he spat out two words and nodded slightly.


    He seemed quite arrogant.


    This scene made everyone present unconsciously look at him, causing a few demi-gods to frown.


    Too disrespectful.


    Even if a True Intent Prime Warrior seemed like a genius¡­ whether or not they can become a demigod is still up in the air.


    Jin Liang Semi-Divine is a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse.


    ¡°Xue Yan is an ¡®Inner Sect Disciple¡¯ of North Moon Deity, he has been in seclusion for a long time, so he is not familiar with etiquette, I hope everyone can forgive him,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine explained.


    The many demi-gods then understood.


    A divine¡¯s disciple? Not to mention already being an Inner Sect Disciple, even if only a nominal disciple, the status is also extremely high.


    Being impolite to demi-gods is somewhat normal.


    ¡°For this contest for Ming Mountain¡¯s treasures, Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s team will be led by Xue Yan, with Lu Lei and Rolbis as aids,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine said to Jin Liang Semi-Divine, ¡°What about you all?¡±


    To seize the treasures, elites are ultimately necessary. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    One top-tier fighter is worth more than a hundred mediocrities.


    ¡°One is my Direct Disciple, Fu Yuan, who has reached the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank in the True Meaning of Metal,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine introduced Fu Yuan, who stood beside him, ¡°He¡¯s considered the best of this generation in our Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    Fu Yuan wore an obedient expression.


    ¡°Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank? Not bad, his skills are comparable to Lu Lei and Rolbis,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine nodded in acknowledgment.


    This caused a trace of excitement to appear on Fu Yuan¡¯s face ¨C it was an accolade from Ye An Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Within the Star Realm, our Tianliang Civilization has eight True Intent Prime Warriors, and an additional twenty Flying Heaven Martial Artists,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said, ¡°Out of these twenty, four have condensed True Intent.¡±


    ¡°Four True Intent Flying Heavens?¡± Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes showed a rare surprise.


    Flying Heaven Martial Artists within the Mingxu Star Realm had all just made their breakthroughs.


    This meant the four True Intent Flying Heaven Martial Artists were previously ¡®True Intent Prime Warriors.¡¯


    To keep so many top-tier geniuses within a single Star Realm?


    ¡°Jin Liang, you indeed have the courage. Aren¡¯t you afraid of losing everything?¡± Ye An Semi-Divine shook his head.


    ¡°Ming Mountain¡¯s treasures are worth it,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine replied.


    ¡°Besides, if you¡¯re sending divine disciples, why should we be afraid? You should be aware of our other request,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°To help you destroy the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s base in the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine nodded, ¡°You don¡¯t need to say it. If there¡¯s a chance to weaken the Seven Star Civilization, we naturally won¡¯t miss it¡­ I¡¯ve heard the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization has appeared, how powerful is he?¡±


    ¡°Based on the information we control, his power should be close to Second Level,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine stated gravely.

 Chapter 528 - 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_2

    Chapter 528: Chapter 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_2


    He who was spoken of as level 34 wasn¡¯t lacking in star techniques, weapons, or anything else like the Chi Yen Beast King; instead, he was a level 34 powerhouse without any weaknesses.


    ¡°Close to level 34? That powerful?¡±


    ¡°Does that mean he¡¯s stronger than Fang Hai, who emerged from the Seven Star Civilization decades ago?¡± The Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, ¡°Is his strength due to his skill, or his star techniques? Are there any specific combat videos?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no combat video.¡± Jin Liang, the Semi Divine, said, ¡°Our assessment of his power is also based on hearsay¡­ Several days ago, he fought with the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ of the Mingxu Beast Clan, and the battle ended in a draw, with several Flying Heaven Beast Kings slain by his hand.¡±


    ¡°We can only judge from his fighting videos in the Rob Sea Star Realm that he seems quite adept at the ¡®Phantom Body¡¯ technique, and has cultivated a body refining star technique,¡± intoned Jin Liang, the Semi Divine.


    ...


    The news of Li Yuan¡¯s battle with the Chi Yen Beast King had already spread, and many were aware of it.


    Combat video? There were some, but the Tianliang Civilization hadn¡¯t gotten their hands on it.


    ¡°Xue Yan, are you confident?¡± Ye An Semi Divine turned to the proud youth in black.


    That single statement made it clear to the many demigods of Tianliang Civilization¡­ Xue Yan¡¯s strength was at least comparable to level 33.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen his combat video in the Rob Sea Star Realm,¡± Xue Yan said gravely, ¡°If it were at that time, I would be 70% confident in defeating him, but it would be difficult to kill him¡­ As for his battle with the Chi Yen Beast King, if he used the Phantom Body, it wouldn¡¯t be hard to force the Beast King to retreat.¡±


    ¡°Unless he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength won¡¯t have greatly increased since his time in the Rob Sea Star Realm,¡± he added.


    ¡°Prime Warriors, unless they cultivate the Supreme Body Refinement Realm, always have their limits,¡± Xue Yan asserted seriously.


    ¡°If we meet,¡± Xue Yan continued, ¡°I¡¯m not sure I could kill him, but defeating him shouldn¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    Xue Yan, as a disciple of a divine being, had absolute confidence in himself. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± nodded Ye An Semi Divine. He held Xue Yan in high regard.


    Known to live for five thousand years, how vast were the lifespans of divine beings.


    Direct disciples were usually only taken a few in a lifetime.


    Although the status of Inner Sect Disciples was slightly lower than that of direct disciples, divine beings would still teach them earnestly.


    It was considered good to take an Inner Sect Disciple every hundred years.


    Considering Ye An Semi Divine wasn¡¯t able to become an Inner Sect Disciple of a divine being, it spoke volumes of Xue Yan¡¯s talents.


    He was heralded as a rare genius in the Myriad Demons Civilization over the past century.


    Using the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s evaluation standards, Xue Yan was definitely a ¡®Divine Child Level Genius¡¯; as long as he had time, reaching the peak of half-god status wouldn¡¯t be difficult, and he even had a slight chance of becoming a god.


    ¡°Lu Lei, Rolbis.¡± Ye An Semi Divine suddenly looked at the two of them and said softly, ¡°In line with the divine being¡¯s command, you should know what to do if the situation truly becomes dire, right?¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°We know,¡± Lu Lei and Rolbis both nodded without hesitation, both rising stars of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    However, compared to Xue Yan, they fell short, and they too were entrusted with a special mission.


    ¡°Jin Liang.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no time to lose, command them to move out,¡± said Ye An Semi Divine, ¡°The Seven Star Civilization will surely perceive the secrets of Ming Mountain¡¯s treasure and will make their move sooner or later.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Jin Liang, the Semi Divine, nodded and immediately turned to the youth in black beside him, ¡°Fu Yuan, remember, when you¡¯re in the Mingxu Star Realm, listen to Yu Fu¡¯s advice.¡±


    ¡°And above all, obey Xue Yan¡¯s orders.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The youth in black, Fu Yuan, felt stifled inside, but he could only agree verbally.


    ¡­


    Blue Star, Jiangnan Province.


    In the Ancient Divine Palace, within the Divine Crystal Chamber, radiant light filled the space.


    ¡°Whirrrr~¡±


    Surrounded by a vast array of treasures, under the influence of Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power and the operation of his methods, he continuously drew the essence out of these treasures, streaming non-stop into his body.


    Cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± involved two aspects.


    First, one must imprint a sufficient number of ¡®All Things Star Marks¡¯ on the star meridian so that once activated, the star meridian could greatly increase the body¡¯s strength, speed, and toughness in a very short time.


    Second, as the essence of the star meridian itself changes, even without activation of star techniques, the body¡¯s base strength would increase.


    A level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior, even without using any star techniques, would already surpass most top-grade Origin Martial Artists who burst forth with star techniques in basic strength.


    This is the essence of basic strength!


    The numerous rare and valuable treasures Li Yuan needed, which were worth hundreds of thousands of points, were primarily to propel his body¡¯s evolution.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Accompanied by the continuous imprinting of Second Order All Things Star Marks, Li Yuan¡¯s body began transforming.


    This transformation wasn¡¯t about becoming stronger, but about reinforcing the foundation.


    After all, the originally cultivated ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± had already made his base very strong.


    Finally!


    As if he had reached a certain limit, Li Yuan¡¯s muscles, bones, and skin¡­ truly began to grow stronger, and his life level began an all-round leap.


    ¡°Cultivating the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ has reached the Second Order, level 6,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve now completely surpassed the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯s¡¯ Second Order Limit.¡±


    The Great Earth Divine Body, as a Seventh Layer Star Technique, could only reach level 14 at its Second Order Limit.


    But the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± if cultivated to the Second Order Limit, could reach level 18.


    The gap widens with advanced star techniques.


    For instance, Third Layer Star Techniques could reach level 15 if cultivated by a Fifth Order Divine Being.


    Whereas the Ninefold Star Technique, if cultivated by a Fifth Order Divine Being, could reach up to level 45.


    It¡¯s a clear domination.


    This is also a major reason why matchless prodigies can fight across different levels.


    ¡°Ninefold Star Technique, known as the Supreme Star Technique, grants a special transformation upon reaching the limit of each order,¡± Li Yuan murmured internally, ¡°¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ significantly boosts harmony with the Earth Vein.¡±

 Chapter 529 - 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_3

    Chapter 529: Chapter 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°The ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ is about transforming the body,¡± Li Yuan thought with anticipation of the scene where he would cultivate this Supreme Star Technique to the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°Chi Yen Beast King?¡±


    ¡°Just give me some more time,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, ¡°I¡¯ll see if your hide is still thick enough.¡±


    Additionally,


    ¡°The principal mentioned that the top geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization can also come to kill at any moment? The top geniuses of a Divine Civilization?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ...


    Although he had fought against the geniuses of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, as his horizon of knowledge expanded, Li Yuan also knew that the few Semi-Divine level geniuses he had killed were definitely not the top geniuses of the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ Just like Alicia and Kris from before, could they be considered top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization?


    But it is different at the Prime Warrior stage.


    The top geniuses will often remain at this realm for a long time, pursuing the awakening of more Star Meridians.


    ¡°I really want to see how strong they can be,¡± Li Yuan thought, harboring a killing intent.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization? That is, historically, the one that has inflicted the most severe disasters upon the Seven Star Civilization.


    And also the one with the deepest enmity against each other.


    ¡°Continue,¡± Li Yuan only flashed these thoughts through his mind.


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Several large warships were flying out from the main base of the Tianliang Civilization, streaking across the Vast Sky, and rapidly approaching the Bright Moon Base.


    Inside one of the warships,


    stood nearly thirty silhouettes, all exuding powerful auras, with more than half of them being Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Leading them were none other than Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, Lu Lei, and Rolbis.


    ¡°Yu Fu, my brother,¡± Rolbis was elegant, smiling as he said, ¡°You¡¯ve always been in charge of the war against the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Do you think we can win?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say,¡± the middle-aged man named Yu Fu shook his head, ¡°I know that everyone here is extremely powerful¡­ but we must not underestimate the Seven Star Civilization, they have given up the Mingxin Base, and all their forces are concentrated on the Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°If we really want to attack forcefully¡­ unless we have several Flying Heaven Peak warriors, otherwise, I estimate it will be difficult to win.¡±


    Furthermore!


    ¡°Besides the Spirit Gun, there is one more person from the Seven Star Civilization we must be wary of,¡± Yu Fu said solemnly.


    ¡°Are you going to mention Yu Jinghe again?¡± Fu Yuan snorted coldly, ¡°Yu Fu, I think you¡¯ve just been scared by that Yu Jinghe, despite breaking through to the Flying Heaven Realm, you don¡¯t seem to have the slightest bit of courage.¡±


    Yu Fu glanced at him and couldn¡¯t be bothered to respond.


    Yu Fu is one of the ¡®Saint Heirs¡¯ of the Tianliang Civilization and is also the strongest among the True Intent Flying Heaven warriors who had broken through¡­ but after his breakthrough, when he went to fight Yu Jinghe, he still lost.


    ¡°Stop arguing,¡± a cold voice rang out.


    The war room fell silent.


    The speaker was Xue Yan¡­ In less than a day since their arrival, everyone had already been subdued by his formidable strength.


    Even Yu Fu was defeated by him in three strikes.


    This is a very terrifying Prime Warrior.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived,¡± Yu Fu suddenly spoke in a deep tone, and with a wave of his hand, a huge projection immediately appeared in the center of the warship¡¯s conference room.


    It was an image of the Bright Moon Base.


    Everyone looked over.


    This one look stunned them all¡­ so many huge flying saucer warships.


    ¡°This many Fourth-order Battleships? Impossible!¡± Fu Yuan said in disbelief, ¡°Twelve of them? No way.¡±


    ¡°The recent reconnaissance showed only six Fourth-order Battleships,¡± Yu Fu was equally astonished.


    Fourth-order Battleships are terrifyingly powerful, and if they pursued Flying Heaven Warriors, naturally, they would fall short.


    But if they were to hold a defensive position, especially with so many¡­ even the peak warriors of the Flying Heaven realm would feel their scalps tingle upon seeing them.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Xue Yan said softly.


    ¡°Retreat just like that?¡± Fu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Lord Xue Yan, maybe those battleships are fakes.¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you take the lead and try out their authenticity?¡± Xue Yan glanced coldly at Fu Yuan.


    Fu Yuan fell silent.


    ¡°With so many Fourth-order Battleships, if they are all real¡­ even if we can forcibly take it down, how many will die or be injured?¡± Rolbis shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s not worth the loss. The first target is the treasure of Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡°If we can seize the treasure, then turning back to wipe out this base won¡¯t be a difficult task,¡± Lu Lei said in agreement.


    The three great geniuses from the Myriad Demons Civilization reached a consensus.


    ¡°Depart!¡±


    ¡°Heading to Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡­


    Within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°They¡¯ve retreated.¡±


    ¡°As expected, they¡¯ve retreated.¡± Inside the conference room of a warship, while watching the projection on the huge screen, the large group of warships was seen withdrawing.


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors and True Intent Prime Warriors present all breathed a sigh of relief.


    They had been under tremendous pressure when they sensed the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s mighty forces bearing down on them.


    ¡°Tavares, your advice was really timely,¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°How did you know that the Tianliang Civilization would launch an attack today, and even requested the alliance to urgently dispatch so many Fourth-order Battleships here?¡±


    ¡°I cannot say,¡± Tavares smiled mysteriously.


    Now, the highest commander within the Seven Star Civilization in the Star Realm was Tavares, who had broken through.


    In reality, Tavares was secretly sighing in his heart: ¡°The intelligence of the alliance is indeed accurate.¡±


    How did he know? Because Bai Shan Semi-Divine had directly told him yesterday: ¡°It¡¯s expected that this afternoon, the joint forces of the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization will come to attack. We must make them fearful and deter them from starting a major war.¡±

    This intelligence capability,


    made Tavares suspect that a certain demigod within the Tianliang Civilization might very well be a mole for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡­


    Time flowed like water.


    The meddling of the Myriad Demons Civilization caused constant turmoil within the Mingxu Star Realm, and Li Yuan also learned much through messages.


    He was very anxious.


    But anxiety was of no use!


    Without sufficient strength, even if he emerged from seclusion, what could he do?


    Until September 18th.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber of the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his body bursting forth with booming sounds, hazy halos of light emanating from his body and striking out in all directions, making him look like a divine being at first glance,


    Even.


    As the halos of light converged, a formless power spread, lifting Li Yuan into the air.


    He slowly opened his eyes.


    ¡°¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ I¡¯ve finally attained complete perfection.¡±


    ¡°Flight?¡± Li Yuan clenched his fists lightly, feeling the surging, vast power within him: ¡°The Supreme Body Refining Star Technique, once it reaches the Second Order Limit, can actually break the shackles of my body¡­ and reach Level 30.¡±


    Level 30 Prime Warriors do not need to borrow the power of heaven and earth; their bodies undergo a transformation and can naturally soar and burrow.


    That¡¯s right!


    As the source of all techniques, the Body Refining Star Technique enables practitioners to further break through their limits¡­ and the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique is even more miraculous.


    Prime Warriors at Level 29.9, once they have cultivated it successfully, will undergo a fundamental transformation in the flesh, reaching Level 30.


    Even the Origin Power within them will undergo transformation under the nourishment of their powerful bodies.


    In short.


    The current Li Yuan, except for not having condensed an Origin Pill in the Sea of Source Energy, is almost no different from a true Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh~ Numerous beams of light converged, and a girl in white appeared out of thin air: ¡°Congratulations, little brother, you have achieved the ultimate state of a Prime Warrior.¡±


    It was Gu You.


    She had been silently observing Li Yuan, and when she saw that Li Yuan had succeeded, she could no longer sit still.


    ¡°The ultimate state of a Prime Warrior?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°Level 29.9 and Level 30, this step is like a chasm in the sky. So many so-called geniuses rely on their high perception, weapons, and treasures, etc., to dare to fight with Flying Heaven Warriors.¡± The girl smiled and said, ¡°Only one type of person is an exception.¡±


    ¡°That is the practitioner of the Supreme Body Refining Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°Once achieved, they remain at the Second Rank Life, but their foundation is on par with a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°This is the ultimate state of a Prime Warrior,¡± the girl said solemnly, ¡°With a strong foundation, you can completely cultivate more and stronger Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°If your perception of skills is high enough¡­ you can completely be on par with the peak strength of Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± the girl said with a smile.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    He truly felt the terrifying aspect of the Supreme Star Technique, no wonder countless divine beings longed to cultivate it.


    Before long.


    Li Yuan continued to cultivate two other Star Techniques, ¡°Nine Shadow Clones¡± and ¡°Wind Feather.¡±


    In fact, if there were better options, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t want to waste the talent of the third Perfect Star Vein.


    But, this was the best solution he could find for now.


    ¡°After ending the great war in the Mingxu Star Realm, I¡¯ll consider it,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Worst case, I¡¯ll pay some price later to recultivate the Star Technique.¡±


    Boom boom boom~


    A large number of precious treasures were taken out, and Li Yuan was amazed to find¡­ cultivating Second Rank Star Technique with the foundation of a Flying Heaven Warrior was much easier than he had imagined.


    ¡­


    September 21st.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    All his cultivation was complete, and Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.

 Chapter 530 - 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)

    Chapter 530: Chapter 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)


    The void outside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Today, Jiangnan Province was treated to rare clear skies, the warm sunshine of late summer and early fall spilling over everyone.


    ¡°What a pity, if only I had a few more months or even half a year to advance my fourth Star Meridian from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh, I could¡¯ve directly cultivated the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Light Transformation.''¡± Li Yuan flew through the void, cloaked in his Phantom Spirit Garment.


    ¡®Wind Feather¡¯ and ¡®Light Transformation¡¯ are both Escaping Method Star Techniques that can greatly increase a powerhouse¡¯s movement technique speed.


    Movement technique speed is very important in combat.


    It¡¯s also a crucial part of Li Yuan¡¯s plans to learn.


    ...


    After all, despite Li Yuan¡¯s unprecedented strength now, he wouldn¡¯t dare claim certain victory against the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    In life and death battles, one must exert all possible effort.


    Therefore, before a battle, it¡¯s natural to strive for the greatest improvement in strength.


    ¡°This battle is urgent, thus I must appear in my strongest form,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    As for choosing to cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Ninefold Shadow Clone,¡¯ there was no issue.


    After all, he had already cultivated the Fifth Layer Star Technique ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯ on the completed third Perfect Star Vein; advancing to that logically correlated Seventh Layer Star Technique was only natural.


    And the future?


    ¡°Either find a way to discover a Nine Layers Star Technique that follows in line,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°or wait until I acquire another ¡®shadow class Nine Layers Star Technique¡¯ and pay the price to shift my cultivation.¡±


    For the moment, this Seventh Layer Star Technique was the most appropriate and fastest for Li Yuan to translate into combat strength.


    In fact, the Seventh Layer Star Technique was already incredibly powerful.


    Especially when combined with two Supreme Star Techniques, its potency was absolutely terrifying.


    ¡°Geniuses of Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± A cold glint swept through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he cultivated in seclusion.


    Occasionally, he would receive news and learn about many developments in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Li Yuan had already flown to the war base just outside the Star Realm passageway, surrounded by an expanse of weapon towers.


    This war base was a part of Xia Country¡¯s strategic plan to hold the line against an ¡®invasion from the Mingxu Star Realm.¡¯


    It was built on a grand scale, all according to the Rob Sea War Fortress standards.


    Before Li Yuan could get very close.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Two figures called out in succession.


    Following closely.


    A slight distortion in the light nearby, and both a young man in black and an older man in white casual clothes appeared simultaneously.


    ¡°Principal, Elder Bai Shan?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face revealed a trace of surprise, ¡°Have you been waiting here this whole time?¡±


    How long had it been since he rushed here from the Ancient Divine Palace?


    ¡°You messaged us yesterday, saying you expected to enter the Star Realm today, so we¡¯ve been waiting here,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    He suddenly remembered Gu You mentioning before he left the Ancient Divine Palace that ¡®he sensed a Demigod-level Divine Sense making large-scale inquiries.¡¯


    A Demigod, if they were to meticulously search through every speck of dust in the void, in theory, could find the Ancient Divine Palace.


    But doing so would be exhaustingly tedious, and without knowing a rough location, no Demigod would undertake such a task.


    Now, it seemed likely that it was Bai Shan Semi-Divine who conducted a rough inquiry.


    With this in mind, a hint of wariness arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart¡­ while he trusted these elders, he also wanted to keep his secrets hidden.


    ¡°Confident?¡± Fang Hai directly asked.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded firmly, ¡°against Flying Heaven Peak warriors¡­ I have the power to fight.¡± S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before leaving the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan had already sparred with a puppet operated by Number One in the Hundred Battles Arena and had a good grasp of his own strength.


    Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine exchanged glances.


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t trust you,¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine said seriously, ¡°but this matter is too important, and we need to ensure your safety.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Elder and Principal, do you want to test my strength?¡±


    Li Yuan felt warmth in his heart.


    These elders were indeed very considerate, concerned that he might act impulsively. They had specifically waited here to verify that he truly had the strength to sweep through the Mingxu Star Realm before letting him enter.


    ¡°Li Yuan, words alone are no proof.¡±


    ¡°Attack me and see,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan with a slight smile, ¡°Let us see what level the strongest Prime Warrior in the history of the Seven Star Civilization can reach.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine took a step forward and positioned himself at a distance to watch the fight.


    In the void, Li Yuan and Fang Hai stood facing each other from afar.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Principal, then I shall launch an attack, be careful,¡± Li Yuan nodded heavily, anticipation in his eyes.


    Fang Hai!


    Ever since high school, he had been hearing this name, only to later learn that this person was, in fact, his principal¡­ That assassination attempt by the Flying Heaven Alien Race, that drop of water that streaked across heaven and earth, had left an unforgettable impression on him.


    Though he had seen many Demigods by now,


    Li Yuan always had the feeling that if Fang Hai were willing, he could easily surpass many Demigods¡­ Just stepping into the threshold of the Law of Water was already astonishingly remarkable.


    ¡°Unknowingly,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve grown to the point where the Principal himself needs to test my strength,¡± Li Yuan thought proudly to himself.


    Step by step!


    In just over two years, Li Yuan had developed from a high school senior into a formidable presence.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan flipped his hand to grab the Black Chen Spear, and then his entire being burst into motion like a streak of light shooting across the vast sky, charging directly at Fang Hai.


    ¡°Not a bad speed,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes lit up; Li Yuan¡¯s instantaneous Burst Speed approached nearly six times the speed of sound.


    Such velocity, even among Flying Heaven Warriors, was considered exceptionally fast.


    Yet simply possessing this sort of speed was clearly not enough to convince Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai meanwhile stood still in the void, composed as ever.


    But in the next moment!


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan, who was in mid-flight, suddenly grew larger, instantly reaching a height of five meters. He was evidently using a Body Refining Star Technique¡­ but the powerful and domineering aura released made Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine reveal a hint of shock in their eyes.

 Chapter 531 - 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_2

    Chapter 531: Chapter 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_2


    Too strong!


    At this moment, in their perception, Li Yuan seemed like a true Flying Heaven Warrior executing an extremely terrifying Star Technique, his might reaching the heavens.


    Whoosh! After the burst of the Body Refining Star Technique, Li Yuan immediately employed ¡°Wind Feather¡±, his already rapid speed soaring once again, surpassing eight times the speed of sound.


    In almost an instant, he had crossed a thousand meters of Vast Sky and arrived in front of Fang Hai.


    He drew upon the Mysteries of True Intent of both earth and wind.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ...


    A spear cut across heaven and earth!


    What a dazzling thrust it was, leaving behind a visible mark in the void, as if it were splitting the world in half.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Previously calm and collected, Fang Hai¡¯s face also showed a hint of seriousness in the face of Li Yuan¡¯s explosive thrust.


    He struck out with his palm.


    Whoosh~ With a flick of his fingertips, streams of water materialized out of thin air in the void, each stream subtly connecting to the mystical Laws between heaven and earth, converging together to form a massive water vortex in an instant right in front of him!


    ¡°Sizzle~¡±


    The Black Chen Spear pierced into the layers of water, feeling each layer containing astonishing resistance yet the entire vortex bearing a force of amazing suction¡­ The Long Spear only penetrated three inches before being completely bound.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Fang Hai lightly withdrew his palm.


    That invisible water vortex surged along with his palm, rushing in from all directions, as if to completely bind Li Yuan.


    Had it been an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, they would have likely been directly suppressed.


    ¡°Nine Shadows! Break!¡± Li Yuan suddenly roared, directly invoking the Seven Stars Technique ¡°Shadow Clone¡±.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Li Yuan, who was tightly bound by the water with the Black Chen Spear, exploded like his body was split apart, instantly creating eight shadowy figures.


    The moment they split, each of the eight Phantom Bodies possessed a certain amount of power and burst forth at the same time.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The water vortex shattered, and Li Yuan seized this instant of opportunity to withdraw his spear and fly out, with the eight original Phantom Bodies dissipating into the void.


    A hint of surprise flashed through Fang Hai¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Principal.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t attack again. With the last spear strike and splitting clones, he had completely revealed his strength.


    And this was not a real battle practice. For a spar between experts, one or two moves were enough.


    ¡°Haha, Fang Hai, you¡¯ve lost face this time,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a laugh as he flew over: ¡°You even invoked a hint of Origin Power, yet you still couldn¡¯t bind Li Yuan, who is still only a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, well done,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan listened obediently.


    During the spar just now, Fang Hai had only revealed a very small part of his strength, which was already beyond Li Yuan¡¯s reach.


    ¡°Is this kid really still a Prime Warrior?¡±


    Fang Hai smiled helplessly: ¡°Have you ever seen such an impressive Prime Warrior? Not to mention anything else, just his Spear Technique alone can rival a true Flying Heaven Peak Warrior.¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°If you count his Phantom Body and other methods¡­ I¡¯m afraid many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors might not be his match,¡± Fang Hai said with admiration, his gaze resting upon Li Yuan: ¡°Indeed impressive.¡±


    ¡°Truly on par with a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior?¡± Surprise flickered in Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes.


    Although he could sense that Li Yuan¡¯s last spear was extraordinary, he wasn¡¯t quite sure about the extent.


    ¡°Principal, I still have a long way to go. I¡¯ve only just reached the baseline of the Flying Heaven Peak,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    Li Yuan, having read through a lot of intelligence data and having discussed with Gu You, was very clear about the levels of the Flying Heaven rank, understanding that from Level 30 to 34, the evaluation of strength was relatively fixed.


    Only at the Flying Heaven Peak was there a vague concept.


    Normally, cultivating the body¡¯s Origin Power to Level 35, reaching the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage in comprehension, possessing a Third Rank high-quality weapon, mastering two to three Fifth Layer Star Techniques¡­ These were the baselines of a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior.


    But!!


    Some geniuses, with body¡¯s Origin Power reaching Level 36 or even 37, whose technique comprehension was almost divine, and who cultivated Sixth Layer Star Techniques and even Seventh Layer Star Techniques¡­ they also belonged to the Flying Heaven Peak level. Were they the same as the former?


    Among Flying Heaven Warriors, the truly terrifying ones, like Fang Hai, had strength close to divinity, able to annihilate many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors with a single move.


    The legendary strongest Flying Heaven could even slay a Semi-Divine¡­


    Once, Li Yuan believed that Flying Heaven Peak Warriors were only a step away from Semi-Divine¡­ after all, at that time in his eyes, Flying Heaven Warriors were extremely powerful.


    But now, having truly stepped into this level, Li Yuan knew the differences of this level.


    Like Li Yuan, who now had his Life Level reach Level 30, relying on extremely strong Star Techniques, and armed with a spear technique close to divine level and a Semi-Divine weapon¡­ he barely reached the baseline standard of Level 35.


    Compared with the very top warriors among the Flying Heaven, he still had a long way to go.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be too modest,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°If you keep being modest, where do we old fellows put our faces?¡±


    Li Yuan smiled and stopped replying.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you can go to war,¡± Fang Hai said slowly: ¡°Remember, unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, don¡¯t expose your strength¡­ Being too dazzling isn¡¯t always a good thing.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart tightened.


    ¡°Principal, senior, then I¡¯ll be on my way.¡± Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, taking on the identity of a Spirit Gun, he quickly flew into the War Fortress.


    In the void.


    Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at each other, their eyes conveying joy and a hint of shock.


    ¡°Did you guess it?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    ¡°The strongest Body Refining Star Technique!¡± Fang Hai said slowly: ¡°Apart from this scenario, I can¡¯t think of any other possibility¡­ unless he¡¯s stepped into the threshold of the Laws, but obviously not yet.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded.


    Both of their horizons were extremely broad and just through the brief exchange, they could swiftly deduce many details about Li Yuan.


    ¡°Do you think, does Li Yuan have a chance? Can he make it through the Ninth Leaf World?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine suddenly asked.

 Chapter 532 - 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_3

    Chapter 532: Chapter 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_3


    ¡°The Ninth Leaf World?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of light; he had only just passed through the Sixth Leaf World.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°As a Flying Heaven Warrior, to slay a Demigod¡­ that¡¯s the legend of the favored son of heaven circulated by countless civilizations.¡±


    ¡­


    Passing through the Star Realm gateway.


    Half a month later, Li Yuan returned to Bright Moon Base, half a month sooner than he had anticipated for his training.


    ...


    Above the base, high in the sky.


    Ten Fourth-order Battleships had been waiting for a long time.


    Inside one of the battleships, there were ten figures, either Flying Heaven Warriors or True Intent Prime Warriors, all waiting quietly.


    Besides them, there were nine light screens projecting in different parts of the conference room, revealing several figures.


    Whoosh!


    A figure shrouded in black Battle Garment entered.


    In an instant, over thirty figures in the conference room shifted their gaze simultaneously.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is here.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up; they had all received the orders and knew that Spirit Gun was coming back.


    Especially those who had seen Spirit Gun before, at this moment, they felt that he had undergone some mysterious changes.


    ¡°Luo Chan, Tavares.¡± Li Yuan looked toward the two.


    In this battle, Li Yuan was the main force.


    Luo Chan and Tavares were in charge of commanding the many warships.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, ten battleships have already converged.¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°Besides, on the other nine battleships, each has two Flying Heaven-level combatants for support¡­ On our main battle vessel, there are ten Flying Heaven combatants.¡±


    ¡°Of course, that doesn¡¯t include you,¡± Luo Chan added.


    ¡°So that¡¯s ten battleships, with twenty-eight Flying Heaven-level combatants?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Is the base¡¯s reserve force sufficient?¡±


    With so many forces moving out, the guard force at Bright Moon Base would be unprecedentedly weakened.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Tavares said. ¡°If we leave too many behind, our attack force won¡¯t be sufficient¡­ We hope to strike at Ming Mountain and force the Mingxu Beast Clan to give up the passageway, otherwise there¡¯s no hope.¡±


    The other powerhouses all nodded, clearly sharing a similar sentiment.


    ¡°No need,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°leave two battleships behind, eight will be enough.¡±


    ¡°Eight?¡±


    ¡°Is that too few?¡± The powerhouses were somewhat hesitant.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t explain further, according to Fang Hai¡¯s orders, if he could avoid exposing his strength for the time being, he would.


    ¡°Alright, as per the Demigod¡¯s command, we¡¯ll listen to you,¡± Luo Chan agreed. ¡°Then we¡¯ll leave two battleships at the base.¡±


    ¡°Depart!¡±


    Soon, eight battleships tore through the Vast Sky, rapidly heading towards Ming Mountain.


    Not far from the Bright Moon Base, on the great land.


    Many hidden Second Rank Exotic Beasts were looking up at the eight battleships streaking across the void.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has made a move.¡±


    ¡°Eight battleships have already come killing this way, they¡¯ll reach Ming Mountain in at most four hours.¡± The high-ranking members of the Mingxu Beast Clan swiftly received the news from tens of thousands of miles away.


    The Mingxu Beast Clan was far inferior to the Seven Star Civilization and Tianliang Civilization in terms of technology.


    But the Exotic Beast Tribes that spread throughout the Star Realm were the best Inquiry means.


    They also had some special communication methods.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is moving.¡±


    ¡°The target isn¡¯t us; it should be the Mingxu Beast Clan. They¡¯ve delayed so many days; they¡¯re finally acting.¡±


    ¡°Our top genius has already killed his way into the treasure land,¡± the intelligence department of the Tianliang Civilization received the message an hour later.


    ¡­


    Inside the fast-moving battleship.


    ¡°That is to say, the Mingxu Beast Clan has actually chosen to back down, wanting to cede tens of thousands of kilometers of territory to our two civilizations in exchange for peace?¡± Li Yuan listened with interest to Luo Chan¡¯s story.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°From many signs, the Mingxu Beast Clan is actually very fearful of our two civilizations, and they don¡¯t want to completely fall out with us,¡± Luo Chan said. ¡°It¡¯s just that they have no way out, so once we touch their bottom line¡­ they will act extremely crazily.¡±


    ¡°Ten days ago, the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s assault on Ming Mountain gave them a huge shock.¡±


    ¡°According to intelligence reports,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°it seems that the Flying Heaven Beast Kings under the command of the Three Great Beast Emperors have all converged near the lair of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If the roles were reversed, if he belonged to the Mingxu Beast Clan, he probably would also act this crazily.


    But Li Yuan had little pity in his heart; racial conflicts left no room to sympathize with others.


    ¡°What was the outcome of that battle?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°According to the information we¡¯ve gathered from our Inquiry, they had a very fierce skirmish¡­ Ultimately, the Tianliang Civilization withdrew from Ming Mountain,¡± Tavares said. ¡°However, it appears that the Three Great Beast Emperors did not take action.¡±


    ¡°We suspect that the Three Great Beast Emperors are not at Ming Mountain, but in what they call the Divine Land.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Having been attacked by the Tianliang Civilization right up to their lair on Ming Mountain, if the Three Great Beast Emperors were still there¡­ the chances of them not engaging would be very slim.


    ¡°There has been no news from Yu Jinghe; it¡¯s very likely that he has broken into the Divine Land,¡± Tavares said. ¡°The so-called ¡®Divine Land¡¯ of the Mingxu Beast Clan is probably where the treasure on Ming Mountain is located.¡±


    Li Yuan listened as Tavares explained the latest situation.


    Yu Jinghe? No news for a month. If not for the Seven Star Civilization having a special way to confirm life and death¡­ they probably would have declared him dead long ago.


    The Mingxu Star Realm is only so big, no news from Yu Jinghe means he most likely fell into some mysterious place.


    ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± Luo Chan spoke softly, ¡°shall we first go to Zone 67 on the periphery of Ming Mountain, or¡­?¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Directly strike at Ming Mountain,¡± Li Yuan said quietly. ¡°Let¡¯s take the opportunity while the Three Great Beast Emperors are away, to seize all intelligence from the Mingxu Beast Clan.¡±


    If the Three Great Beast Emperors were at Ming Mountain, then Li Yuan would change his plan.


    Since it¡¯s highly likely they¡¯re not there, naturally, he wouldn¡¯t be courteous.


    ¡°Although the Three Great Beast Emperors are not there, there¡¯s still a large group of remaining Flying Heaven Beast Kings. There are dozens in the mid-stage of Flying Heaven,¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help saying.

    ¡°`


    ¡°I¡¯ll hold them off,¡± said Li Yuan with a faint smile.


    This confidence startled the surrounding powerhouses.


    They only knew that the Spirit Gun had been in retreat for cultivation, but how strong was it, exactly?


    It was a mystery.


    ¡°Moreover,¡± Li Yuan paused, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes, ¡°it¡¯s time to avenge Manong.¡±


    ...


    Tavares¡¯s eyes burst forth with a ray of light.


    ¡­


    Over three hours later, the eight swiftly advancing warships were gradually closing in on Ming Mountain.


    From tens of thousands of miles away, Ming Mountain didn¡¯t seem too massive.


    But now, it looked like a mountain that could hold up the sky, blocking out the sun, its countless green-covered mountains and rivers resembling another strange world.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    Luo Chan¡¯s face changed abruptly. ¡°The warship has detected an extremely powerful life force approaching¡­ It¡¯s the Flying Heaven Beast Kings! Many Flying Heaven Beast Kings are converging.¡±


    Boom, boom, boom~


    The eight warships simultaneously halted in the high sky, followed by the appearance of a huge projection screen.


    It was a scene from hundreds of miles away.


    As Fourth-order Battleships, sensing within several hundred miles was effortless.


    The projection showed a dense mass of enormous figures.


    All were Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    ¡°60¡­ 80¡­ 150¡­ 300¡­ Preliminary inquiry by the warship has detected 326 figures,¡± Luo Chan said, staring intently, her voice changing slightly, ¡°All are Flying Heaven Beast Kings.¡±


    ¡°Chi Yen Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Hei Guang Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Southern Bear Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Tian He Beast King.¡±


    ¡°According to the information we have, there are eight top-tier Beast Kings, suspected to be of the 34th level! All have come!¡± Luo Chan almost cried out.


    Inside the conference room, there was utter silence, and everyone felt a wave of chills down their spine.


    There were too many!


    Even with eight Fourth-order Battleships gathered, they did not feel safe.


    The number was astonishing.


    According to the intelligence they had, when the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s army had previously attacked Ming Mountain, they had not encountered such a terrifying array.


    ¡°It seems that the Mingxu Beast Clan has suffered from dispersing their strength against the Tianliang Civilization,¡± Li Yuan said, smiling, ¡°That¡¯s why they¡¯ve deliberately focused their aerial combat forces.¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    At a time like this, could the Spirit Gun still manage to smile?


    ¡°It¡¯s better that they¡¯ve concentrated,¡± said Li Yuan with a smile, ¡°It saves us the trouble of having to go find them.¡±


    Luo Chan, Tavares, Jiang Zai, and the others were increasingly astonished.


    To the Spirit Gun, the approach of a few hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings was a good thing?


    ¡°Exit the warships,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Right here¡­ with the green hills and clear waters, it¡¯s a feng shui treasure spot to bury them.¡±


    Boom~ The hatch opened.


    Li Yuan flew out first, the other powerhouses exchanged glances. Despite a touch of fear in their hearts, they all followed suit and flew out.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The eight Fourth-order Battleships formed a defensive system in the void of space, and twenty-five figures stood in the void, quietly waiting for the army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings to arrive.


    Li Yuan stood at the forefront of the entire army.


    With their vision, a hundred miles was completely clear to see.


    ¡­


    ¡°Human warships.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re not retreating?¡± Chi Yen Beast King, Tian He Beast King, and the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings had also long seen the scene within nearly a hundred miles¡­ The eight Fourth-order Battleships were quite conspicuous.


    Only tens of seconds later.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The mighty army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings had spread out, stopping about ten kilometers away from the warships in the void.


    ¡°` S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They spaced themselves far apart, ensuring that the main cannon of the warship wouldn¡¯t hit two of them.


    The main cannon of a Fourth-order Battleship was extremely powerful, and a direct hit would mean certain death for any Beast King, though the cannon took a very long time to charge.


    Facing such a large army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most human Martial Artists felt the pressure.


    ¡°Seven Stars humans.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, do you really want to start a war?¡± a robust voice echoed through the Vast Sky.


    A massive black Flying Serpent emerged from the beast horde, its narrow and cold eyes fixed on Li Yuan.


    For a moment, both the hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings and the numerous human Martial Artists turned their attention to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hei Guang Beast King.¡±


    Li Yuan spoke with an indifferent voice, ¡°If you do not wish to start a war, that is also fine.¡±


    ¡°Then, hand over all the information about Divine Land and clear the entrance, allowing us free access in and out,¡± Li Yuan spoke slowly.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    ¡°Greedy humans.¡±


    ¡°They deserve to die.¡± The Chi Yen Beast King, the Southern Bear Beast King, the Tian He Beast King, and other top Beast Kings all roared angrily.


    They were both shocked that the secrets of the ¡®Divine Land¡¯ had been completely revealed, and filled with anger and a trace of fear.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, if you retreat now¡­¡± Hei Guang Beast King said somberly, making one last effort.


    He did not want to start a war.


    ¡°You do not agree?¡± Li Yuan looked down and shook his head, then suddenly raised it again, his eyes bursting with a cold murderous intent, ¡°Then go to hell!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Boom! In an instant, Li Yuan transformed into a terrifying streak of light and lunged directly at Hei Guang Beast King.


    Almost at the same time, a cold voice resounded in the minds of all human Martial Artists: ¡°Stay in place, protect the Warship.¡±


    ¡°Whir!¡±


    ¡°Whir!¡±


    ¡°Whir!¡± Accompanying Li Yuan¡¯s command, the eight warships¡¯ main cannons that had been ready to fire, unleashed their power simultaneously.


    Eight dazzling beams of light instantly streaked across the sky, each targeting a different Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Too fast!


    Silent and sudden.


    Even though the Flying Heaven Beast Kings had been on alert and continuously moving, three of them weren¡¯t quick enough to dodge and got their heads pierced, dead!


    The void fell silent for an instant.


    The next second.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Annihilate these humans.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Watching this scene unfold, the remaining hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings first froze, then a surge of uncontrollable anger and killing intent welled up inside them.


    Booming noises echoed as nearly all of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings instantly transformed into dazzling streaks of light, some howling as they charged toward the human Warships, others frantically attacking Li Yuan.


    Their hearts were filled with endless fury.


    ¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s seeking death.¡±


    Hei Guang Beast King led the charge at the forefront, his heart also full of killing intent, lunging directly towards Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King followed closely behind, his body ablaze with flames, like a War God incarnate.


    ¡°Hei Guang Beast King?¡±


    Li Yuan was the fastest, bursting forth in an instant, utilizing the All Things Divine Body to transform into a five-meter-tall figure holding a Long Spear, approaching Hei Guang Beast King like a bolt of lightning.


    Ten kilometers?


    They drew close within seconds.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The Hei Guang Beast King roared, huge wings obscuring the sunlight, opened its gaping maw, and viciously lunged.


    Whiz!


    In the brief moment of near contact, Li Yuan used ¡°Wind Feather¡±, his speed skyrocketing once again, becoming a streak of yellow light charging toward the gaping maw; immediately afterward, he swung the Long Spear¡­ A dazzling thread emerged between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.


    The Spear Light soared across a kilometer of the Vast Sky, seemingly slicing through heaven and earth.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The Hei Guang Beast King¡¯s head exploded in an instant, blood raining down from the sky, as Li Yuan¡¯s spear had pierced straight through its head.


    Hei Guang Beast King, Level 34! Dead!!

 Chapter 534 - 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!

    Chapter 534: Chapter 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!


    A spear thrust, the top Beast King of the Mingxu Beast Clan renowned for over a hundred years, Hei Guang, fell!!


    ¡°What!!¡±


    ¡°Am I seeing things?¡±


    ¡°Is that Hei Guang Beast King, killed in an instant?¡±


    ¡°Even if the Three Great Beast Emperors came, they might not be able to do that.¡± The several hundred Beast Kings who hadn¡¯t yet joined the attack were completely stunned at this sight.


    You should know, after fermenting for half a month, the name of the Spirit Gun had already spread throughout the high levels of the Mingxu Beast Clan, and nearly all Flying Heaven Beast Kings knew that within the Seven Star Human Civilization, there was an extremely terrifying Second Rank Life ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ who could contend with the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ...


    The Chi Yen Beast King was the unanimously recognized strongest below the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    But!!


    The several hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings never imagined that even though they had highly estimated ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ they still underestimated him, a spear thrust, and the ¡®Hei Guang Beast King,¡¯ on par with the Chi Yen Beast King, was dead.


    ¡°Hei Guang!!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King was also somewhat dumbfounded, ¡°It¡¯s only been a little over a month, how could his strength have surged so much? In my perception, he was clearly a Second Rank Life.¡±


    ¡°Was he toying with me on purpose last time?¡±


    ¡°Or has he broken through to Flying Heaven?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s mind raced with numerous thoughts, but more than that, there was a tinge of fear.


    Because, other Flying Heaven Beast Kings might think ¡®Spirit Gun has reached the level of Beast Emperor,¡¯ but only a top-tier Beast King like Chi Yen understood.


    Beast Emperor?


    A Beast Emperor couldn¡¯t kill Hei Guang Beast King with one move! Spirit Gun, this is an existence that transcends Beast Emperors.


    ¡­ ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°My heavens!!¡± Luo Chan, Tavares, Jiang Zai, and other human Martial Artists on the eight distant Battleships, standing by in strict formation, already prepared for a desperate fight, were also somewhat dumbfounded.


    Almost in an instant.


    They all remembered the casual voice of Spirit Gun just now on the Battleship, ¡°Here with the green mountains and clear waters, it is a feng shui treasure land to bury them in.¡±


    At the time, none of them believed Spirit Gun, after all, no matter how amazing Spirit Gun¡¯s performance had been before, he was always just a Prime Warrior.


    When Li Yuan told them ¡®stay in place to protect the Battleship,¡¯ many even felt that Spirit Gun was being too arrogant and conceited, although they didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud.


    But now?


    ¡°Is he really a Prime Warrior?¡± Li Yang was inwardly shocked, ¡°Can a Prime Warrior be this strong? Even if it¡¯s Li Yuan, after ten more years of training, he probably won¡¯t catch up to Spirit Gun.¡±


    Li Yang had always thought that Li Yuan would surpass Spirit Gun in achievements, but now he was no longer sure.


    ¡°This Spirit Gun is really Li Yuan?¡± The only one who knew the truth, Luo Chan, was the most shocked, ¡°He¡¯s only 20 years old!¡±


    Luo Chan knew that after today¡¯s battle, the name, Spirit Gun, would likely be known to many Foreign Civilizations.


    But if the news that ¡®Spirit Gun is only 20 years old¡¯ gets out, that would truly be earth-shattering.


    ¡­


    This spear thrust had baffled all the powerful individuals in both camps, with only Li Yuan the calmest.


    ¡°A contender with only a third-grade inferior Battle Garment, who hasn¡¯t cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique, a level 34 powerhouse, dares to open its huge mouth to bite me?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s speed did not slow down at all as he pounced towards another Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Hei Guang Beast King had a great reputation, but as a kinsman of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, he was known for his speed among the various factions of the Mingxu Beast Clan¡­ When it came to frontal fighting, he was weaker among the eight top-tier Beast Kings. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Hei Guang Beast King was about equivalent to a typical level 33 human Martial Artist.


    If Hei Guang Beast King had focused on entangling combat and guarding his vital points, Li Yuan would¡¯ve probably needed a few more moves to take him down, but he delivered his head right to the Black Chen Spear¡­ one should know, Li Yuan considered himself to have reached the baseline of the Flying Heaven Peak, on par with level 35 Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    ¡°Several hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings?¡±


    ¡°Most of them are just at level 30, level 31.¡± Li Yuan had Divine Palace Inquiry, with one glance he knew whether these Flying Heaven Beast Kings were a threat to him or not.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Before the Long Spear arrived, a dazzling Spear Light spanned a hundred meters of the Vast Sky, piercing through the head of another Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Fallen!


    ¡°Without mastery of True Intent, at Flying Heaven Level, killing is too easy. Origin Power at Flying Heaven Level draws upon the power of Heaven and Earth, it simply cannot block my Long Spear¡­¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°No wonder, back then the principal from a kilometer away, invoked the Law with a single thought, killing that Flying Heaven Level Alien Race assassin.¡±


    To kill Hei Guang Beast King, he still had to get close.


    But to kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Beast King¡­ whether you concentrate True Intent or not, the strength will have an earth-shattering change.


    The ordinary Flying Heaven Beast Kings, let alone withstand the Black Chen Spear, couldn¡¯t even block a single Spear Light from Li Yuan.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Li Yuan swept with another spear, a terrifying Spear Light slashed across the Vast Sky, first piercing through the head of a Flying Heaven Beast King and immediately striking another Flying Heaven Beast King¡¯s body, critically injuring it.


    With one spear, one died and another was injured.


    ¡°For killing a Flying Heaven Level powerhouse, Spiritual Awakening Level goes up by only 0.1%, truly tough.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    During his previous clash with the Chi Yen Beast King, he noticed the two changes after the Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%¡­ First, killing First Rank and Second Rank Alien Races no longer provided Spiritual Nourishment.


    Second, it seemed that killing a Flying Heaven Level being only increased by 0.1%.¡±


    ¡°At this rate, I need to kill at least a hundred of them to advance to 60%.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°What about in the future, when the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening breaks through 75%? This is forcing me to kill Demigods in the future.¡±


    Slaughter!


    ¡°Continue.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s speed was astonishing as he went on a rampage against these Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    ¡­


    The great battle continued.


    The eight Fourth-order Battleships, after charging their main cannons, were also continuously firing, killing Flying Heaven Beast Kings one after another.


    At the same time, many Flying Heaven Beast Kings also attacked the Battleships, immediately engaging in combat with Tavares, Luo Chan, and others.


    However.


    The brightest and most ferocious battle on the entire battlefield was still in the region where Li Yuan was.


    After the Hei Guang Beast King and several other Beast Kings fell in succession.

 Chapter 535 - 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_2

    Chapter 535: Chapter 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_2


    Other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, though shaken with fury and horror, immediately fell into despair¡­they all knew, there was no way out.


    If they retreated today, then the Mingxu Beast Clan would never recover, their only path lay in one word¡ªKill!


    Kill their way out! For their clan, for freedom, they strove to carve a path to survival.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°We must kill Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°If we don¡¯t kill him, our Mingxu Beast Clan will surely perish.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Perhaps he has used some secret treasure, which is why his strength is so formidable. He¡¯s only a Second Rank Life, no matter how strong his attack, his bodily defense must definitely be weak. As long as we can hit him¡­ he will certainly get injured, even to the point of death.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go for it! Fight with all we¡¯ve got!! Kill!¡± Hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, like moths to a flame, furiously launched their most frenzied attack on Li Yuan in the void.


    This was, undoubtedly, the most tragic scene in the thousands of years of the Mingxu Beast Clan!!


    And Li Yuan, too, erupted completely!


    Boom, boom, boom~ Whether it was the howling cold ice, the overwhelming flames, the gigantic wings whistling, or the claws striking violently.


    Or the collaboration of several Flying Heaven Beast Kings trying to block all space and completely trap Li Yuan at the center.


    For the fate of their clan, these Flying Heaven Beast Kings gambled with their own lives.


    But reality told these Flying Heaven Beast Kings, it was all in vain.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s domain exploded first. Having trained in the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± his Origin Power also underwent a transformation. Even without practicing Domain Star Techniques, by invoking the mysteries of the Wind and Earth True Intent, the domain he formed was terrifying in its might.


    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s domain, bearing countless attacks, contended with the Flame Domain of the Chi Yen Beast King, without falling behind in the slightest.


    The enormous scope of the domain limited the attacks from other Flying Heaven Beast Kings on Li Yuan.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±¡±Swoosh!¡±¡±Swoosh!¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t use Phantom Body, but relying on ¡®Wind Feather,¡¯ he could burst forth with a speed nearly eight times the speed of sound, surpassing any Flying Heaven Beast King. His figure was like a ghost, dodging the continuous combined attacks from a large number of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    No Flying Heaven Beast King could keep up with his flight trajectory; all attempts to surround him seemed futile.


    Then, it was a slaughter!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Spear Light after Spear Light streaked across the Vast Sky, breathtakingly beautiful. Every flash of Spear Light meant the fall of a Flying Heaven Beast King.


    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡± The massive bodies of Flying Heaven Beast Kings fell, shaking the earth, collapsing mountains and rivers.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most of whom were leaders of their respective clans, were no more than fodder before Li Yuan, merely one more spear thrust, or one less.


    ¡°The Southern Bear Beast King is dead!!¡±


    ¡°Tian He Beast King is dead!¡±


    ¡°Shadowless Beast King is dead.¡± One by one, the well-known top Beast Kings of the Mingxu world fell. These powerful Beast Kings¡¯ frenzied attacks did indeed pose a minor threat to Li Yuan.


    But it was just a minor threat and simply caused Li Yuan to thrust a few more times with his spear.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Die!¡± A roar thundered across heaven and earth.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying fiery giant palm, filled with endless rage, fiercely struck Li Yuan.


    It was the Chi Yen Beast King!!


    This Beast King, acknowledged as the most powerful beneath the Beast Emperors, in desperation and on the verge of death against Li Yuan¡¯s pressure, actually took that critical step¡ªreaching the Intermediate Rank of True Intent.


    The Chi Yen Beast King broke through.


    The breakthrough in technique instantly boosted the power of his attack, especially the speed, catching the previously at-ease Li Yuan off-guard and landing him a slap.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    Li Yuan was sent flying backward, the force behind that slap was incredibly terrifying.


    ¡°Hahaha! Impressive!¡± Li Yuan flew backward for over a hundred meters, his laughter echoing through the heavens and the earth: ¡°Chi Yen, you actually managed to injure me, impressive.¡±


    Despair!


    Not just the Chi Yen Beast King, but also the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings who witnessed this scene completely despaired.


    Struck by the Chi Yen Beast King post-breakthrough, Spirit Gun was only injured? And looking at Spirit Gun¡¯s condition, where did he seem wounded?


    They didn¡¯t know that after Li Yuan activated the ¡®Starry Coat¡¯ with Flying Heaven Level Origin Power, his defense was so strong that even standing still and taking a direct hit from a Fourth-Order Battleship¡¯s main cannon might not bring him down¡­ Just considering the ability to survive, Li Yuan was quite formidable even among the Flying Heaven Peak.


    ¡°Chi Yen.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡± Li Yuan streaked across as a beam of light, howling towards the Chi Yen Beast King.


    To Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, none of the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings posed as great a threat as the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Given the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s talent, once he lets his Origin Power break through to level 35, he might surpass even the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King also roared, his body rapidly shrinking to only ten meters tall, his Flame Domain quickly diminishing as well.


    Boom, boom, boom~


    Domains collided, and this time Li Yuan¡¯s domain was at an absolute disadvantage, constantly being pressured and dispersed.


    ¡°Not having practiced Domain Star Techniques, the gap in skills has not narrowed, there¡¯s also a gap in Origin Power.¡± It came as no surprise to Li Yuan that his domain fell to the disadvantage.


    Actually, when selecting the fourth Star Technique, Li Yuan hesitated.


    If he chose a Domain Star Technique, it would be more beneficial for straightforward battles, and also for binding enemies in group fights. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But the Escaping Method Star Technique was more beneficial for survival.


    In the end, Li Yuan chose the latter.


    ¡°Shick!¡±


    The Black Chen Spear struck, effortlessly piercing through the Flame Domain, its power formidable.


    ¡°Die!¡± The downsized Chi Yen Beast King roared, making a fist with five fingers, invoking the Fire True Intent to cover his fist, and striking head-on at the fearsome spear thrust.


    The two terrifying forces collided.


    ¡°Peng!¡±


    The collision of the True Intent Origin Power was so extreme that the air seemed to be rapidly compressed, like a nuclear explosion, as the horrible shockwave surged in all directions. The mountains and rivers below for kilometers around collapsed, nearly turning into a flat wasteland of ruins.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Chi~¡± The Black Chen Spear had viciously stabbed into that hard fist, piercing through the surface of the battle garment and entering the stony bone fingers.


    ¡°So hard!¡± Li Yuan frowned as he executed his second spear thrust.


    ¡°I¡¯ve shrunk my body and have a battle garment protecting me, yet even my strongest fist can barely withstand it?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King felt a chill in his heart, truly sensing the sharpness of the seemingly unimpressive black long spear.


    Its penetrative power was too terrifying.


    ¡°Peng~ Peng! Peng!¡± In a series of terrifying clashes, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was all blocked by the Chi Yen Beast King. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    This battle was like a replica of their last one.


    Just as the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings thought they saw hope,


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan moved and instantly revealed six phantom bodies within the layered domains.


    Shadow Domain!


    Li Yuan finally executed this ultimate move, but he still didn¡¯t use the ¡°Six Paths Illusionary Body¡± from the Seventh Layer Star Technique, which was his last trump card. It was not necessary to expose it against a single Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Hu! Hu!¡± Six Li Yuans erupted simultaneously, stunning the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings who couldn¡¯t distinguish which was the real one, and at the same time, Li Yuan cornered the Chi Yen Beast King into a desperate situation.


    Divine Fist unleashed! Shaking the heavens!


    The Chi Yen Beast King could block one attack from Li Yuan¡¯s phantom, but couldn¡¯t keep it up forever¡­ Pu! The Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust straight, piercing the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± The battle garment was penetrated.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The terrifying might contained within the long spear erupted, instantly causing the layers of rock to burst open.


    One spear thrust had seriously injured the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Hu!


    With a mix of shock and rage, the Chi Yen Beast King finally retreated, trying to escape. But in front of Li Yuan, who had executed the Shadow Domain and the Star Technique ¡°Wind Feather,¡± where could he flee? He was injured time and again by the Black Chen Spear.


    The Chi Yen Beast King felt death drawing near.


    ¡°Escape!¡±


    ¡°Escape now!! Until the Spirit Gun leaves the Mingxu world, don¡¯t you dare show yourselves. Get as far away as possible.¡± The voice of the Chi Yen Beast King echoed in the minds of the more than two hundred surviving Beast Kings, the voice filled with despair and rage: ¡°As long as we live, there¡¯s hope for our Mingxu Beast Clan.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s hope!¡±


    Slit~


    Again, six long spears struck, and the one true Black Chen Spear avoided the Divine Fist, piercing the back of the Chi Yen Beast King, causing his injuries to worsen.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, come fight!¡± the Chi Yen Beast King roared out, void of despair in his eyes, now filled with a madness that accepted death.


    He understood he couldn¡¯t escape; the Spirit Gun would never let him, this great threat, go. But he would use his life to buy time for the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, to gain a chance at survival.


    To strive for some hope for the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    ¡°Escape!¡±


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Ahh~~¡± Many of the surviving Flying Heaven Beast Kings gave out grief-stricken roars, unable to bear witnessing the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s fall, but they also understood that continuing to fight was pointless, and they began to flee in all directions.


    ¡°Hu!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, disregarding the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings and focusing solely on attacking the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°`


    In Li Yuan¡¯s eyes,


    the threat posed by all the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings combined did not match that of the Chi Yen Beast King alone.


    Once the Chi Yen Beast King had time to practice the Body Refining Star Technique and accumulate power for a period¡­ Li Yuan admitted to himself that he would probably have to flee in panic.


    Whoosh!


    With the thirty-sixth strike of his spear, the body of the Chi Yen Beast King finally couldn¡¯t withstand the continuous assault and exploded with a bang, its Origin Pill shattered, leaving him powerless to fight again.


    But his head was still intact.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± With a command of his Domain, Li Yuan thrust his spear into the head of the Chi Yen Beast King following the wound.


    Splurch!


    The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s head completely disintegrated from the inside and died!!


    ¡°Chi Yen is dead!¡±


    ¡°Escape.¡±


    ¡°As long as we survive, as long as we¡¯re alive!!¡±


    ¡°That Spirit Gun will sooner or later leave our world, and as long as we live, we can take revenge on the Seven Stars human civilization,¡± the Flying Heaven Beast Kings fleeing dozens of kilometers away thought, filled with grief and anger.


    They could only watch helplessly as the newly-advanced Chi Yen Beast King died.


    ¡°They¡¯re all fleeing?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept through the void, all the Flying Heaven Beast Kings were frantically escaping, and not a single Beast King dared to stay and attack the warship anymore.


    Everyone began to retreat.


    For a moment, the entire void seemed to quiet down, and Tavares, Luo Chan, and others who had just finished their battles in the distant cosmos held their breath as they watched this scene.


    In the void, stood the figure in black, holding a long spear like a War God.


    The ground had turned into a wasteland from the successive clashes, with only the carcasses of numerous Flying Heaven Beast Kings left behind.


    The shock in the hearts of these human Martial Artists was beyond words.


    Nearly three hundred Flying Heaven powerhouses besieged one Prime Warrior, and in the end, over a hundred Flying Heaven powerhouses perished.


    Over a hundred!!


    Though these Flying Heaven Beast Kings may be weak and possess neither good weapons nor Star Techniques, they were still genuine Sky-Flying Level lives, and some were as powerful as the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯.


    And even though the Spirit Gun was extremely powerful, it was, after all, only a Prime Warrior!


    This battle was definitely a miracle.


    Not just a miracle of the Seven Star Civilization, but even if placed amongst the many Foreign Civilizations, Tavares and Li Yang believed it would surely be considered a ¡®legendary feat.¡¯


    Worthy of being passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!


    ¡­¡±Escape?¡±


    ¡°Pursue them!¡± Li Yuan did not immerse himself in the joy of victory; after assessing the situation on the battlefield, he gave orders to Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others.


    Although in the fierce battle just now, Li Yuan had killed six of the top eight Beast Kings and slaughtered more than a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    But there were more who had fled.


    Li Yuan was clear that, after this battle, these Flying Heaven Beast Kings would definitely not dare to gather again, but they would probably continue to hide, and their hatred for the Seven Star Civilization was profound.

 Chapter 537 - 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_4

    Chapter 537: Chapter 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_4


    Every day I stay in the Mingxu Star Realm, these Beast Kings will hide away, not daring to show themselves.


    But how long can I remain in the Mingxu Star Realm? Three years? Ten years? Sooner or later, I will have to leave.


    Therefore,


    killing one more now will reduce the future threat to the Seven Star Civilization!


    Exterminating them all is the correct approach.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ...


    ¡°Four warships form a group; ensure your own safety and strive to pursue and annihilate the enemy.¡± Tavares and Luo Chan immediately followed Li Yuan¡¯s orders and split off with the warships to hunt down their prey.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan was the fastest, directly charging towards the large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings fleeing towards Ming Mountain.


    In just tens of seconds, he caught up with them.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±¡±Whoosh!¡± Spear Light slashed in all directions, and one after another, the Flying Heaven Beast Kings fell.


    Seeing this, the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings fled even more frantically, with many diving into lakes and burrowing into the earth, trying to throw off Li Yuan and the other human Martial Artists completely.


    ¡­A quarter of an hour later.


    After a mad pursuit and slaughter of over fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings, Li Yuan completely lost track of the others.


    On the vast land, scenes of the aftermath of the great battle were everywhere.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Li Yuan stepped on the head of a giant four-hoofed Exotic Beast covered in purple scales and flew back to where the battle had initially erupted.


    In the void.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Eight fourth-order warships reconvened, Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others, having chased their targets to no avail, returned one by one.


    ¡°Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡± Respect filled the eyes of Tavares, Luo Chan, and Li Yang as they looked on.


    They too saw the massive four-hoofed Exotic Beast beneath Li Yuan¡¯s feet, its limbs severed and half of its head sliced off.


    ¡°Thunder Ray Beast King?¡±


    ¡°One of the top three Beast Kings under the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Thunder Ray Beast King?¡±


    ¡°Is this¡­ a surrender?¡± Li Yang, An Yongya, and the others showed shock in their eyes.


    Only Luo Chan and Tavares were somewhat calmer, as if they had anticipated this scene.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, esteemed human sirs.¡± The heavily injured Thunder Ray Beast King spoke with a hint of terror: ¡°I have always been providing you with information; I truly wish to cooperate with the great Seven Star Civilization and would willingly serve it forever.¡±


    ¡°Thunder Ray!¡±


    ¡°Stop your pretense.¡± Tavares sneered: ¡°You traded with us in secret simply to gain some cultivation resources, and we haven¡¯t given you few.¡±


    ¡°If you truly wished to submit, why didn¡¯t you surrender just now? During the battle, you didn¡¯t hold back at all.¡± Luo Chan said with a cold laugh.


    The other human Martial Artists suddenly understood. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Thunder Ray Beast King, it seems, was one of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s sources of intelligence from the ¡®Mingxu Beast Clan.¡¯


    In a sense, the Thunder Ray Beast King was a ¡®beast traitor.¡¯


    However, it survived to the end, while the other top Beast Kings all perished in battle.


    ¡°Thunder Ray.¡±


    ¡°I know you wish to cooperate with us.¡± Li Yuan said coldly: ¡°As long as you tell me everything you know, I will not kill you¡­ Otherwise, you should understand, I could have killed you just now.¡±


    Out of the eight top Beast Kings, only the Thunder Ray Beast King was spared by Li Yuan.


    ¡°The beast understands, understands.¡± The Thunder Ray Beast King nodded continuously.


    Having chosen to submit in order to stay alive, it naturally had no more bottom lines.


    ¡°I ask you.¡±


    ¡°Where are the Three Great Beast Emperors now? Where is the entrance to your Divine Land?¡± Li Yuan asked directly: ¡°Also, a human Martial Artist from my Seven Star Civilization went missing in Ming Mountain; do you know where?¡±


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°The last time the Tianliang Civilization invaded Ming Mountain, what agreement did you reach with them?¡± Li Yuan asked all in one breath.

 Chapter 538 - 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain

    Chapter 538: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain


    ¡°The Three Great Beast Emperors should all be in the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King quickly said, sensing the killing intent from Li Yuan.


    Now that he had been seriously injured, he had no bargaining chips.


    ¡°Should?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    ¡°The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor will not inform me of his whereabouts,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King continued to explain, ¡°Under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I am far less trusted than Chi Yen and Hei Guang. Many secrets of the Divine Land are known to them, but the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor does not tell me anything.¡±


    ¡°As for the other two Beast Emperors¡­ I know even less.¡±


    Luo Chan and Tavares both nodded at Li Yuan.


    ...


    Gesturing that what the Thunder Luminance Beast King said was true.


    If he were trusted, the Thunder Luminance Beast King wouldn¡¯t have allied with the Seven Star Civilization so quickly. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°As for the entrance to the Divine Land.¡±


    ¡°I only know of one place, which is what you call ¡®the 67th area on the outskirts of Ming Mountain¡¯.¡±


    ¡°There are always a large number of Flying Heaven Beast Kings guarding there,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said somberly, ¡°Our Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s Flying Heaven Beast Kings¡­ once they reach the Flying Heaven Level, they can enter through that entrance, pass certain rank assessments, and after completing the contract ceremony to become so-called ¡®ordinary soldiers,¡¯ they can obtain a Star Technique and one to two Third Order weapons.¡±


    ¡°If they can become higher-ranked soldiers, it seems there are many special weapons and treasures¡­ but most Beast Kings can¡¯t achieve this.¡±


    ¡°Star Technique? Weapons?¡± Luo Chan and Tavares flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes.


    Only Li Yuan remained calm, for he had received many pieces of information successively gifted by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.


    In terms of understanding Ming Mountain, no human Martial Artist present could surpass him.


    Ming Mountain was most likely a fallen ¡®Divine Class Mothership¡¯.


    ¡°You should be able to see that most of our Flying Heaven Beast Kings have cultivated a Star Technique,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said with a wry smile, ¡°We can¡¯t create Star Techniques¡­ we obtain them from the Divine Land, and the same goes for the weapons.¡±


    ¡°Our Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s knowledge of cultivation is all derived from the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King spoke freely, no longer keeping anything back.


    He was well aware that even if he remained silent, it wouldn¡¯t take long for the Seven Star Civilization to figure everything out.


    ¡°That human Martial Artist you¡¯re referring to is the one who passed the assessments along that entrance and truly entered the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said.


    ¡°What assessment?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°The military rank assessment,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King answered, ¡°Most of us Flying Heaven Beast Kings can only become the so-called ¡®ordinary soldiers¡¯¡­ According to the Beast King, if one has sufficient strength and potential, there is hope of becoming an elite soldier and entering the Divine Land¡­ but the Chi Yen Beast King has always failed to do so.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings.¡±


    ¡°However, that human Martial Artist managed it, and it is said he broke into the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King shook his head, ¡°His strength is probably not even a match for mine; I really don¡¯t know why.¡±


    Li Yuan understood in his heart; indeed!


    Integrating the information about the Mothership provided by the Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Ji.


    The channel the Thunder Luminance Beast King mentioned was likely a trial area of the ¡®Mothership¡¯.


    The trials for Second and Third Order Lives are different; these Flying Heaven Beast Kings are among the weaker at the Flying Heaven Level and cannot pass the trials¡­ but Yu Jinghe was among the most powerful in the Second Rank Life.


    The potential is starkly different!


    ¡°It¡¯s not just that human Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Not long ago, Tianliang Civilization made a surprise attack, reaching the outskirts of the Heavenly Serpent Lake,¡± said the Thunder Luminance Beast King solemnly, ¡°Because it was a surprise attack, we didn¡¯t manage to gather so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings¡­ there were only thirty to forty at that time.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; this gathering of the Mingxu Beast Clan was likely due to the setback with Tianliang Civilization.


    ¡°Continue,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Within Tianliang Civilization, there is also a very fearsome Second Rank Life,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King recalled, then added, ¡°Of course, that person¡¯s strength is far from matching Lord Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Cut the nonsense,¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King nodded rapidly, ¡°He, too, was in black and his weapon was a blade. He seems to have comprehended the True Meaning of Fire¡­ In a fight with the Chi Yen Beast King, he held his ground, preventing the Chi Yen Beast King from getting the better of him.¡±


    ¡°The Chi Yen Beast King couldn¡¯t win?¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    So powerful?


    You should know, by Li Yuan¡¯s estimates, even if Yu Jinghe before his breakthrough, or Lude Nef had fought the Chi Yen Beast King, there was absolutely no chance of winning¡­ The mysterious powerful individual the Thunder Luminance Beast King mentioned must be the super-talented individual from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Originally, if we were to fight to the death, Tianliang Civilization might not have beaten us,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said gravely, ¡°but somehow¡­ the Hei Guang Beast King suddenly revealed the location of the entrance to them.¡±


    ¡°I suspect that the Hei Guang Beast King acted upon the Beast Emperor¡¯s command,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said, ¡°For letting them in.¡±


    ¡°How could the Beast Emperor issue commands after entering the Divine Land?¡± Luo Chan snapped, ¡°Don¡¯t lie to us.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Orb!!¡±


    ¡°Each of the Three Great Beast Emperors controls a Spirit Orb, and all of us Flying Heaven Beast Kings have left a trace of a mark within the orbs¡­ with the Spirit Orbs, even if the Beast Emperors are in the Divine Land, as long as we Flying Heaven Beast Kings are near the orbs, we can still communicate with the Beast Kings,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King hurriedly explained, ¡°Likewise, if we die in battle¡­ the images from just before our deaths can seemingly be transmitted back to the Spirit Orb.¡±


    This statement changed the expressions of the group of human Martial Artists present.


    Such a strange treasure?


    If that¡¯s the case, then the Three Great Beast Emperors must already know of Spirit Gun¡¯s strength.


    However, Li Yuan was quite calm; in the vast universe and the extensive river of dimensions, there are many bizarre treasures.


    Like the ¡®Spiritual Lamp¡¯ that Gu You let him Refine, which is even more magical, able to confirm his life or death even across many planes.

 Chapter 539 - 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_2

    Chapter 539: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_2


    If Ming Mountain truly was a fallen Divine Class Mothership with similar treasures, it wouldn¡¯t be strange.


    ¡°Therefore, in the end, the Tianliang Civilization retreated.¡±


    ¡°According to the Flying Heaven Beast King guarding the entrance to the Divine Land, those top powerhouses of the Tianliang Civilization should have also entered the Divine Land through that entrance,¡± the Raylight Beast King continued, ¡°Afterward, to avoid being defeated one by one, hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings under the command of the Three Great Beast Emperors gathered in one place.¡±


    ¡°Until you all arrived.¡±


    Time passed.


    Through the account of the Raylight Beast King, Li Yuan and the human martial artists present gained a deeper understanding of the Mingxu Star Realm and the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    ...


    ¡°Spirit Gun Sir.¡±


    ¡°Honorable Sirs, I have said all I needed to say,¡± the Raylight Beast King said with trepidation, in a low and humble voice, ¡°I hope to be spared my life.¡±


    Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others all looked to Li Yuan.


    Whether to spare the Raylight Beast King¡¯s life was up to Li Yuan¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°Raylight.¡±


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t been aware of many details beforehand, I might have been deceived by you,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°Your words, nine truths and one falsehood, are indeed formidable.¡±


    The faces of the human martial artists present changed drastically. Deception?


    ¡°Spirit Gun Sir, I would never dare to deceive you,¡± the Raylight Beast King said, his face flushed with excitement.


    ¡°That Spirit Orb, it¡¯s not only capable of communication over short distances but should also be able to communicate over extremely long distances, right?¡± Li Yuan said with a slight smile, looking at the Raylight Beast King, ¡°Right now, you must have been continuously communicating with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, trying every means to lure me to that Divine Land entrance.¡±


    Finally, the Raylight Beast King¡¯s complexion changed.


    He didn¡¯t wait to refute.


    ¡°Even more so,¡± Li Yuan continued, ¡°I guess you found the Seven Star Civilization so quickly, ostensibly providing information about the Mingxu Beast Clan¡­ probably also on the orders of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, right? To be of use at the critical moment.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I¡¯m not wrong, am I?¡± Li Yuan stared at the Raylight Beast King as if staring at the Beast Emperor lurking behind the scenes.


    Boom!


    The Raylight Beast King suddenly erupted, his body instantly radiating numerous violent thunderous lights. These bolts of lightning seemed to submerge all the human martial artists present.


    However, the Raylight Beast King suddenly lashed out, but Li Yuan was prepared, and his speed was even faster.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A terrifying Spear Light struck, piercing through layers of electricity in an instant, penetrating the Raylight Beast Emperor¡¯s already battered head¡­ His head exploded, and his body immediately fell powerlessly.


    The thunderous assault that had just been launched some few dozen meters suddenly diminished in power and was easily blocked by Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others.


    The Raylight Beast King, dead! S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Thus, the eight top Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan were all slaughtered by Li Yuan alone.


    The many human martial artists were all shocked as they looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, how did you figure it out?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°He was too eager.¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, to save his life, he should have been as reticent as possible about the secrets he knew.¡±


    ¡°To blurt everything out in one breath leaves him with no value; what is there to ensure his survival? Does he really believe in our promises that much?¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    The crowd suddenly understood.


    ¡°Moreover, his lure was too obvious, repeatedly emphasizing that Divine Land entrance, as if he was hurrying us to venture there¡­ and he deliberately stressed that the Tianliang Civilization ventured there as well.¡±


    ¡°The key point is the Spirit Orb he mentioned.¡±


    ¡°If they can even transmit their dying images back¡­ it¡¯s impossible not to be able to communicate within the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°So, I had my suspicions and bluffed him. The result was that he couldn¡¯t hold back and exposed himself.¡± Li Yuan said.


    In fact, that so-called Spirit Orb.


    After pondering for a long time, it reminded Li Yuan of a treasure called ¡®Soul Crystal Ball¡¯ mentioned in the information provided by Dongfang Ji, which was a type of wondrous object convenient for a squad¡¯s soldiers to contact each other, barely considered a piece of technology.


    ¡°So, the Raylight Beast King was deliberately contacting us earlier?¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Perhaps, but they are all dead now, and there¡¯s no need to delve further into it,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head, ¡°No matter what plans the Mingxu Beast Clan had¡­ they have been thoroughly defeated in this battle.¡±


    ¡°The most threatening group of top Beast Kings is all dead.¡±


    As he spoke.


    Li Yuan looked down at the ruins below after the great battle, where many Beast King corpses lay, his gaze somewhat complicated: ¡°When the battle is completely over, when we have time, we should collect these Beast King corpses again and give them a proper burial.¡±


    ¡°To fight to the death without heed for one¡¯s own life, they, too, deserve respect,¡± Li Yuan said slowly.


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    According to the intelligence understood, the Mingxu Beast Clan actually came from different clans, who also fought and warred with each other in the past¡­ But facing the onslaught of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization.


    The Beast Kings from these various races united unprecedentedly in one place, fighting bloodily.


    But this is a civilization war!


    Li Yuan, Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others, for the power of the Seven Star Civilization, would not show mercy.


    On the contrary, they would eradicate all potential threats.


    Just as on Blue Star, during the era of the evolution of all beings, humans exterminated countless species and grew to become the most intelligent.


    Now, in the Dimensional Domain, many civilizations contend for supremacy, and over the past centuries, the numerous invasions faced by the Seven Star Civilization, even the great extinction once suffered by Feixing.


    It made Li Yuan, Tavares, and the others realize that if the Seven Star Civilization didn¡¯t seize every opportunity to grow stronger, they would die!!


    ¡­


    ¡°Spirit Gun, what should we do now?¡± Luo Chan inquired, ¡°Shall we go to area 67 on the outskirts of Ming Mountain?¡±


    The others also looked to Li Yuan.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the dwellings of the Three Great Beast Emperors. Especially the dwelling of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.

    Chapter 540: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°If there is only one entrance to the divine land in Area 67, wouldn¡¯t it be better for the Beast Emperor to build his lair there and be on constant guard?¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Besides, if the Beast Kings under the Three Great Beast Emperors are to gather in one place, why must they congregate at the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s residence?¡± Li Yuan said.


    His words enlightened everyone.


    In reality, Li Yuan was able to think of so much, not because he was smarter than the rest¡­ it was simply because he had access to the most intelligence.


    ¡°Li Yuan, do you suspect that the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor is another entrance to the divine land?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ...


    ¡°We¡¯ll know once we get there,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°In any case, we shouldn¡¯t head to the divine land entrance in Area 67 for now¡­ It¡¯s highly likely there¡¯s a Beast Emperor guarding the entrance on the other side.¡±


    Although he was not very afraid of the Three Great Beast Emperors, Li Yuan still preferred to play it safe.


    Since they were already behind the Tianliang Civilization by so much, there was no rush. Seeking haste sometimes isn¡¯t a good thing.


    ¡°Why do the Three Great Beast Emperors continue to hide within the divine land without coming out?¡± Li Yang pondered aloud, ¡°Like in the recent battle, if the Three Great Beast Emperors had been there, we probably would have been defeated miserably.¡±


    ¡°Either they have more important matters to attend to,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°or¡­ they can¡¯t come out momentarily. There must be a reason.¡±


    The group nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Li Yuan said as he turned into a beam of light, taking flight toward the distant Ming Mountain.


    Boom! Boom!


    Many human Martial Artists then flew into the warship, quickly setting off toward the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    The residences of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor were not completely confirmed by the Seven Star Civilization; only their general locations were known.


    However, the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, ¡®Heavenly Serpent Lake,¡¯ was clearly marked.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan and the others were in motion, deep within Ming Mountain at Heavenly Serpent Lake, the lake roiled massively.


    Splash~


    A nearly ninety-meter-long Qing colored Flying Serpent pierced through the clouds, its claws skimming the surface of the water, rapidly diving into the ancient palace at the center of the lake.


    ¡°Qing Sheng!¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng, have you returned?¡± Two Flying Serpents, one black and one white, flew out from either side of the palace. These two Flying Heaven Level serpents were responsible for guarding the Beast Emperor¡¯s palace on a daily basis.


    ¡°You should already be aware of the battle results,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King said with a pale face: ¡°They¡¯re all dead, Uncle Chi Yen is dead, Hei Guang is dead, Tian He, Nan Xiong¡­ they¡¯re all dead¡­¡±


    Among the group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s strength in direct combat was on the weaker side; he was, however, exceptionally skilled in flight¡­ added to the fact that Li Yuan did not know his identity.


    Thus, Qing Sheng Beast King had managed to escape with his life and rushed over immediately.


    ¡°We¡¯re aware.¡±


    ¡°The Thunder Shine Beast King also perished in battle just now,¡± the dark serpent somberly said: ¡°Qing Sheng, hurry inside; the Beast Emperor¡¯s projection is waiting for you in the main hall.¡±


    Qing Sheng Beast King nodded and flew into the main hall, where he saw a massive, sparkling sphere floating in the void of the hall.


    Below the sphere was a giant projection, distinctly that of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Father,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King spoke somberly.


    ¡°Do you remember the orders I gave you before?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor stared at his offspring.


    ¡°I remember,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King nodded hurriedly: ¡°Take the Soul Crystal Ball and stay far away from the warriors of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization¡­ and also inform the Tianliang Civilization about the power of the Spirit Gun.¡±


    On his way back.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had already communicated with him, revealing many secrets and instructing him on what to do.


    The most critical task was to take away the Soul Crystal Ball.


    However, once it was removed from the palace, the effectiveness of the Soul Crystal Ball would drastically diminish¡­ at least the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor would no longer be able to contact those Flying Heaven Beast Kings directly.


    This palace, paired with the Soul Crystal Ball, had been incredibly challenging to build.


    If he didn¡¯t take it away?


    It wouldn¡¯t be long before the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army arrived.


    ¡°Father, when can you and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor come out?¡± Qing Sheng Beast King asked reluctantly.


    ¡°Several exits have been sealed by those human warriors; now, the divine land is only accessible from the outside, not from within,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, his serpent eyes filled with coldness: ¡°We are trying to find a way to kill that human warrior Yu Jinghe and seize control of the divine land.¡±


    ¡°The several geniuses who entered from the Tianliang Civilization are also exceptionally strong. Although we lured and killed a few, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was also severely injured¡­¡±


    ¡°Anyway, you must flee quickly.¡±


    ¡°Also, activate the Origin Power Array beneath the palace¡­ If we can¡¯t ambush the Spirit Gun in that military passage, then lure him into this passage,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor said coldly: ¡°The divine land is a great temptation. As long as the top talents from these two civilizations enter, we can gradually kill them¡­ everything will not be an issue.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Father,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King responded.


    But his heart was somewhat uneasy; even his father, together with the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, couldn¡¯t kill all the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s geniuses¡­ What if an even stronger Spirit Gun entered?


    What would be the outcome?


    Hard to say! But at this point, there was no better plan.


    Shortly after.


    Qing Sheng Beast King took down the Soul Crystal Ball and swiftly left with the other two Flying Serpent Beast Kings.


    Soon after their departure.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± At the edge of the vast Heavenly Serpent Lake, spanning tens of kilometers, the land suddenly collapsed, creating a huge gap, and then a massive amount of water from the lake poured wildly through the gap, crashing down the cliff below.


    At first glance, it formed a colossal waterfall!!


    And the water level of Heavenly Serpent Lake began to drop rapidly, visible to the naked eye.


    ¡­


    Deep within Ming Mountain, in a vast hall supported by countless metal pillars.


    Two Exotic Beasts of enormous size were coiled there, their bodies exuding powerful auras.


    One of them, a Qing colored Flying Serpent surpassing a hundred meters in length and covered in scales like a Battle Garment, had a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

    Chapter 541: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_4


    ¡°Damn it!!¡±


    ¡°Is he really a Second Rank Life? Can Second Rank Life be this strong?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor growled angrily, ¡°According to the training officer, the strongest Second Rank Life on the mothership back then wasn¡¯t this freakishly powerful.¡±


    ¡°Only the most exceptional prodigies from the prime civilizations, cultivating the strongest Body Refining Star Techniques and coupled with extremely high skill comprehension, could theoretically explode with the power of Flying Heaven Peak.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, ¡°Could he have become a Flying Heaven Level? Does he have a special secret treasure that can conceal his aura?¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent.¡±


    A somewhat weak voice sounded, speaking somberly, ¡°Now is not the time to fret over this.¡±


    ¡°In fact, you¡¯d better be thankful he isn¡¯t at the Flying Heaven Level, because otherwise, his power would rise swiftly, and he¡¯d need to stay in the Mingxu World for a longer time, in which case, we would definitely be doomed.¡± The feeble voice came from a peculiar monster that at first glance resembled an octopus, but its body was covered in a dense array of eyes.


    ...


    It was enough to make one¡¯s heart shudder upon seeing it.


    He was one of the Three Great Beast Emperors of the Mingxu Beast Clan¡ªThousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor fell silent upon hearing these words, ¡°Thousand Eyes, what should we do?¡±


    ¡°Wang Ling should take on the Elite Passage; he has a Six Star Pulse¡­ Among the three of us, he has the most hope,¡± said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor gravely. ¡°As long as he can make it through, he would be able to enter the Inner Layer, not only to catch Yu Jinghe¡­ but there¡¯s also a chance to gain control of the entire mothership.¡±


    ¡°If we could get control of the mothership, the Mingxu World would still be ours,¡± There was a slight excitement in the voice of the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Our task is to block the newcomers as much as possible, preventing them from entering the ¡®Alien God Area¡¯, and to buy as much time for Wang Ling as possible.¡±


    ¡°They are outsiders, without the bloodline of the prime civilization, and cannot go through the elite assessment; at most, they can only become ¡®auxiliary soldiers¡¯,¡± said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Easier said than done.¡±


    ¡°Those geniuses from the Tianliang Civilization before still made it through, didn¡¯t they? And they even wounded you,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, ¡°Although this mothership is our turf, those methods left by the Alien Gods before their deaths¡­ also guide these outsiders.¡±


    For thousands of years, generation after generation of Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan attempted to break into the interior of Ming Mountain.


    Most of them failed.


    It wasn¡¯t until the rise of the Three Great Beast Emperors that they truly broke into the mothership, learned the ultimate secrets of the Mingxu World, and realized how vast the outside world was¡­ However, their power was still too weak to even touch the core area of the mothership.


    Within the mothership, there were also those Alien God Areas¡­ The Three Great Beast Emperors thought they had enough time to slowly explore and strengthen themselves.


    Unexpectedly, the Star Realm passageway expanded.


    Seven Stars Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, all came killing their way over.


    ¡°Do our best, that¡¯s all.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor shook its head, ¡°When the mothership was defeated in the great battle and fell into this Star Realm¡­ we were the remaining bloodline of the wreckage, not the true original life of the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°If your plan succeeds, that Spirit Gun should be coming in through passage number three.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor spoke deeply.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    At this point, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had no better plan, and the two Beast Emperors turned into streaks of light, moving through the vast metallic passages seemingly made for passage by exotic beasts.

    Chapter 542: Chapter 312: Fame Spreads to Foreign Domain


    ¡°`


    Such a major event occurring within the Star Realm meant that the commanders of the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s main base dared not take anything lightly.


    Immediately, the commander sent the news and the relevant battle footage to the demigods in the civilization¡¯s upper echelons.


    ¡­Above a sea near the ¡°Mingxu Star Realm Passage¡± on Tianliang Star, a super-large warship was hovering.


    Inside the warship¡¯s meeting room.


    When the images of battle appeared on the giant screen projection, all the Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room showed looks of shock, and even the faces of those few demigods changed.


    ...


    A Prime Warrior, facing hundreds of enemies alone, eventually killed more than a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings, and even that rather powerful ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ fell under his long spear¡­ Such strength was truly terrifying.


    ¡°A Prime Warrior can be this strong?¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be!¡±


    ¡°With Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power, his strength is definitely comparable to the peak of Flying Heaven. How did he do it?¡±


    ¡°Two months ago, during his battle with the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea, he was far from this terrifying.¡± Those Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room were whispering cautiously to each other, their voices unable to hide their shock.


    Such a powerful Prime Warrior was unheard of; they had neither seen nor heard of one before, and there was no record of one in the ancient texts.


    The few demigods exchanged glances with equally shocked expressions in their eyes.


    ¡°Jin Liang, is this your intelligence? Didn¡¯t you say that the Spirit Gun¡¯s strength was not beyond level 34?¡± Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s voice carried a hint of anger: ¡°To be able to kill the Chi Yen Beast King, he must be at level 35.¡±


    Jin Liang, a demigod with a full head of blond hair and dressed in purple finery, was also somewhat at a loss, shaking his head with a wry smile: ¡°Ye An Semi Divine, if I knew the Spirit Gun had such strength, would I dare compete with him?¡±


    Jin Liang the demigod also felt helpless; who could have foreseen the Spirit Gun¡¯s terrifying power?


    ¡°Compete?¡±


    ¡°Damn!¡± Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s eyes were ice-cold: ¡°Lu Lei is dead, leaving only Rolbis, Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, and a few others. Up to now, we still do not know how Lu Lei died.¡±


    ¡°Now, the Spirit Gun has revealed such terrifying strength. He will surely enter the Divine Land very soon, which is even more dangerous.¡±


    Thinking of this, Ye An Semi Divine felt waves of anger.


    Ten days ago, the Tianliang Clan¡¯s army attacked Ming Mountain. Before long, they extorted the coordinates of the entrance to the Divine Land located in the outer area of Ming Mountain, sector 67¡­ Soon after, Xue Yan led Lu Lei, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and a group of top geniuses into it, plunging into the interior of the Divine Land.


    But after entering the Divine Land, the Tianliang Clan also lost contact with these top geniuses.


    Fortunately,


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had a special method to confirm whether someone was alive or dead¡­ but soon after, it was shown that Lu Lei had died.


    ¡°Ye An, there¡¯s no need to worry too much.¡± Jin Liang the demigod spoke solemnly: ¡°There are only two possibilities for Lu Lei¡¯s death. The first is that there is great danger within the Divine Land, and the second is that they were attacked by the Three Great Beast Emperors¡­ All of the Three Great Beast Emperors should be at the Sky-soaring Pinnacle level.¡±


    When Lu Lei died, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine suspected that the Mingxu Beast Clan was playing dirty, but there was no way to confirm it.


    ¡°We already have the Three Great Beast Emperors.¡±


    ¡°And the Spirit Gun, his threat is indeed significant, but speaking of true strength, aside from faster speed, his attack capability should be similar to that of the Beast Kings¡­ Even if he enters the Divine Land, at most it will only make it more dangerous for Xue Yan, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the others.¡± Jin Liang the demigod said: ¡°Furthermore, the Spirit Gun killing so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings, the Three Great Beast Emperors are sure to know¡­ He and the Three Great Beast Emperors are likely to battle each other.¡±


    ¡°There are advantages and disadvantages!¡± Jin Liang the demigod analyzed.


    Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice: ¡°At this point, all we can do is wait.¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯m worried about now is not just the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke slowly: ¡°But the future.¡±


    ¡°The future?¡± Jin Liang the demigod¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, such an exceptional freak, is even more monstrous than Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai!!¡± Ye An Semi Divine said softly: ¡°In the future, could he become a god?¡±


    ¡°Once he becomes a god, then the destruction of the Seven Star Civilization will truly be nearly an unreachable dream.¡±


    Silence ensued.


    The demigods all fell into thought.


    But the Flying Heaven Warriors present didn¡¯t have such deep feelings, first because their vision was not wide enough, and second because although the Tianliang Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization had been in continuous rivalry, there had never been a war at the demigod level¡­ It was always the Myriad Demons Civilization that truly wanted to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is indeed getting stronger.¡± Jin Liang the demigod sighed lightly: ¡°In these decades, more and more Flying Heaven Warriors and demigods are being born, and there are many dazzling ones. First came Dongfang Ji, then Fang Hai rose in the middle, soon there was Li Yuan¡­ and now there comes an even more monstrous Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°All of these have the hope of becoming gods.¡±


    ¡°Just in a span of one or two hundred years, who knows where so many geniuses have come from.¡± Jin Liang the demigod shook his head.


    Thinking of this.


    ¡°Dolongke, go issue the order, to increase support for the Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s main base, and dispatch all of the Saint Heirs in the civilization¡­ Also send five more warships.¡± Jin Liang the demigod ordered.


    ¡°What about the other Second Level Star Realms, Third Level Star Realms¡­¡± That Flying Heaven Warrior hesitated.


    ¡°Priority goes to supporting the direction of the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Jin Liang the demigod said solemnly.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    As for the news about the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine did not order a ban on its spread.


    Therefore,


    Among the higher-ups of the Tianliang Civilization above the Flying Heaven Level, the news spread quickly: ¡®Seven Star Civilization¡¯s ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, as a Prime Warrior, erupted with the strength of the peak of Flying Heaven, slaughtering over a hundred Flying Heaven strong fighters¡¯.


    Similarly, many other Foreign Civilizations had secret channels within the high echelons of Tianliang, at least with information exchange pathways¡­ Faced with this explosive news, intelligence agents from various civilizations were shocked.


    ¡°A Prime Warrior? With the strength of Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power?¡±


    ¡°This Spirit Gun, he¡¯s too powerful, who exactly is he?¡±


    ¡°We have no clues about him!¡±


    If it had been a Flying Heaven Warrior who had cultivated for many years suddenly bursting forth with such combat power, it would be just ordinary intelligence.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But if this was accomplished by a Prime Warrior, then it¡¯s defying the heavens.


    In terms of shock value, it¡¯s hardly less than a devastating battle between demigods.


    This also led to intelligence agents swiftly relaying the news of the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± back to their respective civilizations, especially those bordering the Seven Star Civilization¡­ With the power of the Spirit Gun, it could significantly alter the course of most Second Level Star Realms.


    ¡­


    Cloud Beast Civilization.


    The highest echelon of demigods convened the ¡°Saint Lord Meeting¡± immediately.


    The consciousness of each demigod descended upon that mysterious virtual domain.


    ¡°I believe you¡¯ve all seen the intelligence regarding the Spirit Gun,¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s meeting has just two items on the agenda,¡±


    ¡°First, is the discussion about whether or not to abandon the Rob Sea and two other Second Level Star Realms.¡± The voice of the Black Plow Demigod was somber, ¡°You should all be clear that facing the attack of the Spirit Gun, places like the three mother nests of beasts in the Rob Sea will have a hard time holding on.¡±


    Many demigods began to ponder.


    ¡°Speaker, these three Star Realms have been under our management for a long time, and we¡¯ve invested massive resources. How could we just give them up?¡± A demigod spoke gravely, ¡°The battle in the Mingxu Star Realm has not yet concluded, whether the Spirit Gun can return alive is still an unknown.¡±


    ¡°Exactly!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re anxious, but the ones who are truly desperate are the Myriad Demons Civilization; they will certainly try to kill the Spirit Gun. Maybe the Spirit Gun won¡¯t even have a chance to attack us before being eliminated by the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± another demigod chimed in.


    Clearly, most demigods were not willing to give up just yet.


    As time passed, and after deliberation, the highest level of the Cloud Beast Civilization reached a consensus¡ªif any of the Second Level Star Realms were to be attacked by the Spirit Gun, the other two would immediately begin full retreat.


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, has he really become so powerful?¡± Wudong Xue Demigod sighed inwardly.


    When he first received the intel on the ¡°Spirit Gun¡±, he was profoundly shocked as well.


    And at today¡¯s Saint Lord Meeting, he rarely kept silent.


    ¡°The second item on the agenda is concerning eradicating the Spirit Gun,¡± Black Plow Demigod spoke slowly, ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization, has just sent us a message¡­ hoping we can join forces to eliminate the Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Together? To collaborate?¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization poses a threat to us, but an even graver threat comes from the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization is akin to asking a tiger for its skin,¡± the many demigods conferred amongst themselves. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Engaging in war with the Seven Star Civilization didn¡¯t necessarily mean that they were allies with the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Apart from relations like those between the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, it¡¯s rare for different civilizations to have absolute trust.


    The relationships between different civilizations are extremely complex.


    Finally, with the strong advocacy of the Speaker Black Plow Demigod, the higher-ups of the Cloud Beast Civilization agreed with reluctance to utilize their intelligence network to the fullest, searching for any trace of the Spirit Gun, and if necessary, passing the information on to the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Although they were not keen on cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s higher-ups were more eager to kill the ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡­


    Time went on.


    Not only the Cloud Beast Civilization, but even the distant Immortal Ruins Civilization began to hear of a supreme genius ¡°Spirit Gun¡± born within the Seven Star Civilization, with a formidable record of battle.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, they no longer kept it a secret either; the news spread rapidly and they even took active measures to promote the dissemination of the information.


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm, a grand victory!!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, in one battle, slew over a hundred Flying Heaven Level beings from an Alien Race.¡± Just these two pieces of news were enough to send the popularity of the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± skyrocketing, quickly reaching the ¡®top headlines¡¯ on the virtual network of the Seven Great Planets.


    ¡­Martial Divine Star Realm, at the palace atop Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°This ferocious?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, with Flying Heaven Peak strength?¡± When Duanmu Mountain Master received this news, he was somewhat befuddled.


    With many members of Seven Star Mountain convened in the Mingxu Star Realm, Duanmu Hong naturally paid close attention to the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    With his privileges, he even obtained the battle footage.


    ¡°How did he do it?¡±


    ¡°Even with the foundation of a Prime Warrior, no secret treasure should enable him to exert such monstrous power, to annihilate a Beast King of level 34 in one move?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master looked at the intelligence, slightly bewildered, ¡°Is that really Li Yuan? Could I have guessed wrong?¡±


    It was too monstrous.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Duanmu!¡± A calm voice suddenly resounded in his mind, ¡°You should have guessed long ago that the Spirit Gun is Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡± Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s heart jolted.


    Only the Alliance Hierarch could bypass the palace¡¯s defenses and speak directly into his mind.


    His heart was filled with even greater shock; previously, he had only conjectured based on various clues.


    Now, it was confirmed.


    ¡°Warn again each Seven Star Mountain member who knows of this message, they are absolutely not allowed to leak it!¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s voice carried a trace of chill, ¡°Anyone who leaks the information will be deemed a traitor to the clan!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s heart chilled.


    He understood the gravity of the situation; a Prime Warrior displaying Flying Heaven Peak strength was enough to astonish many Foreign Civilizations¡­ Now, if they were to also learn that the Spirit Gun is only 20 years old, they would likely go mad, and it would be normal for them to take any kind of action.


    A 50-year-old Prime Warrior achieving this is one thing, but a 20-year-old Prime Warrior doing so¡­ the difference is tremendous.

    Chapter 543: Chapter 313: The Alliance Hierarch¡¯s Observation! Two Pathways


    Not far from the Martial Divine Star Realm lay the mysterious Void Land, where Dongfang Ji spent his years in constant, solitary cultivation.


    ¡°He truly managed to do it.¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t in vain that I took the trouble to help him get the materials for the Body Refining Star Technique.¡± Sitting cross-legged in the void, Dongfang Ji let out a smile, ¡°It seems he truly has the hope of getting through the Ninth Mountain world.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, in the future, he might even catch up to me,¡± said Dongfang Ji softly.


    It was as if he was talking to himself, yet also as if he was speaking to someone else.


    ¡°Master, I can¡¯t agree with that,¡± a deep voice suddenly said: ¡°It¡¯s true he might have the hope of getting through the Ninth Mountain world, but to catch up to you, Master? He¡¯s still far from it.¡±


    ...


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you, Master, want to¡­¡± the deep voice rambled.


    ¡°Ha-ha, you also shouldn¡¯t underestimate him,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head: ¡°Anyway, when it came to the Prime Warrior and Flying Heaven Warrior stages, I was definitely not as good as Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°But, Master, when you reached the Semi-Divine stage, you took the path of the unbeaten; cultivation isn¡¯t just about the present,¡± said the deep voice with certainty: ¡°The last time you took action here in this Dimensional Domain was almost a hundred years ago. In that battle, you killed dozens of demigods, easily slaying even those at the peak of demi-divinity.¡±


    ¡°How long had you been a demigod at that time? Less than ten years. Nearly a hundred years have passed. Who in the outside world knows your true strength now?¡±


    ¡°If not for the pursuit of getting through the Ninth Mountain world, as well as to protect the Seven Star Civilization, you could have broken through long ago,¡± said the deep voice with a hint of dissatisfaction: ¡°Now, some fools within our civilization actually believe this Li Yuan might catch up to you in the future?¡±


    Clearly, this deep voice held Dongfang Ji in the utmost reverence.


    ¡°Ha-ha,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed: ¡°You know, on the path of cultivation, one must never underestimate anyone.¡±


    ¡°Besides.¡±


    ¡°The birth of a genius like him within the Seven Star Civilization is a good thing for the entire civilization and for me,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a calm smile: ¡°Once Fang Hai breaks through, and after Li Yuan has grown a bit more, I¡¯ll finally be able to truly lay down the responsibilities I carry.¡±


    A hundred years ago, for the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji made many preparations, such as establishing the Martial Divine Hall, the reward and punishment system from top to bottom, and the Seven Stars Treasury, the Star Technique Treasury, and so on.


    After that, Dongfang Ji rarely paid attention to the internal affairs of the civilization.


    Even the many civilizations around him were no longer seen as a fatal threat.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization? They didn¡¯t dare to invade again.


    Even the ¡®North Moon Deity¡¯ of the Myriad Demons Civilization was conducting covert trades with him.


    However, Dongfang Ji was well aware that the might of a civilization cannot rest on one person alone.


    The strength of a civilization needed to be tempered, to grow through blood and fire.


    Therefore, for many matters, as long as they didn¡¯t threaten the foundation of the civilization, he just watched with detached interest.


    Let those Prime Warriors, Flying Heaven Warriors, and demigods fight desperately.


    Even with his own descendants, he did the same.


    If they wanted a life of peace, he would provide it, but if they wished to progress on the path of the Martial Path, then they should fight their way through.


    If they died? Then they would die!


    Even some of the crises facing the Seven Star Civilization, which he clearly could have resolved in advance, were left unaddressed.


    As long as the overall situation wasn¡¯t out of control, he would not intervene.


    Without crises, how could the entire civilization advance?


    The seeds had been sown; Dongfang Ji was just waiting for them to sprout¡­ Only when one has worked hard enough, displaying sufficient value, would he lend a helping hand.


    Like with Fang Hai, like with Li Yuan.


    ¡°That¡¯s true, the stronger they are, the better it is for you, Master.¡±


    ¡°I also look forward to the day they fully grow,¡± said the deep voice with anticipation: ¡°Then, I could accompany the Master to battle through the rivers of dimensions.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°There are two matters I need to report to you,¡± said the deep voice seriously: ¡°The first is that the planetary monitoring system I arranged on Blue Star has detected¡­ a force that has been repeatedly trying to infiltrate the virtual network mainframe recently.¡±


    ¡°They have launched multiple attacks, all of which I have blocked.¡±


    ¡°What force? From the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Dongfang Ji frowned slightly.


    The virtual network mainframe controlled the core secrets of a star, with a mass of secret messages, all within the mainframe.


    In terms of importance, it was comparable to that of a demigod.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°The techniques of the Myriad Demons Civilization aren¡¯t that sophisticated,¡± said the deep voice: ¡°These adversaries are unfamiliar, seeming to appear for the first time¡­ I keep trying to trace back to the source, but to no avail.¡±


    ¡°They seem to just be gathering information, without taking any dangerous actions.¡±


    ¡°Heh heh.¡±


    ¡°They certainly wouldn¡¯t expect that our planet¡¯s virtual network mainframe is of Sixth Rank standard,¡± said the deep voice: ¡°How could it be so easily breached?¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Investigate in secret, strive to track down their physical entity,¡± Dongfang Ji said in a low voice: ¡°If the Guardian Legion isn¡¯t strong enough, notify Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the others.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± said the deep voice.


    ¡°The second matter,¡± the deep voice continued: ¡°According to intelligence from a covert line within the Myriad Demons Civilization, there should be an assassination against Spirit Gun planned, with the initiation of a ¡®top-level undercover agent¡¯. ¡±


    ¡°Their strength should be comparable to a normal Flying Heaven Star Lord,¡± the deep voice said.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Star Lord? Is it an Alien Race assassin lurking in the Myriad Demons Civilization, or a traitor within our civilization?¡± Dongfang Ji frowned.


    ¡°The likelihood of a traitor is higher,¡± said the deep voice: ¡°But this aspect of intelligence hasn¡¯t been uncovered; it¡¯s being personally controlled by the Eastern Demon Deity.¡±


    ¡°Eastern Demon?¡± A cold light flashed in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    If there were any civilizations around the Seven Star Civilization that he still regarded as major threats, the Eastern Demon Deity would be at the forefront.


    ¡°`


    Unfortunately, Dongfang Ji could never find the right opportunity.


    ¡°Inform Bai Shan Semi-Divine of this message,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Also tell Fang Hai to be discreet and careful in their protection¡­ As soon as Li Yuan emerges, see to his safe passage to the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡­


    In the Blue Star, on the Europa Continent, there was an inconspicuous small city with a vast estate on its outskirts.


    Today, there was a grand celebration being held within the estate, a monthly banquet hosted by a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    The guests were all distinguished nobles from the Europa Continent or some powerful martial artists.


    ¡°Today, let us raise our glasses to the Star Lord, wishing him an early breakthrough to demi-godhood, becoming the towering pillar of our Seven Star Civilization,¡± said a middle-aged Caucasian man in a suit, lifting his glass with a smile.


    ¡°To the Star Lord¡¯s honor.¡±


    ¡°To the Star Lord¡¯s honor.¡± On the grass, the hundreds of attendees all toasted in unison.


    ¡°I thank you all,¡± the young Caucasian man seated at the head of the table said with a smile. As a Flying Heaven Star Lord, his actual age was nearly a hundred, but he could remain youthful if he so chose.


    Suddenly, the young Caucasian man felt something and said with a smile, ¡°Everybody continue, I have to leave for a bit.¡±


    He set down his wine glass!


    Whoosh!


    With one step, the young Caucasian man drifted away like a breeze for hundreds of meters, entering the distant castle.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s the speed.¡±


    ¡°That speed just now, it definitely reached the speed of sound, and yet there wasn¡¯t even the slightest sound,¡± many of the participating martial artists whispered amongst themselves.


    At the bottom of the castle, there was a secret room, empty except for a bed.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The young Caucasian man who had just stepped out no longer had any smile on his face. He flipped his palm and took out a completely black sphere. The sphere emitted strange fluctuations and a slight purple light shone through, which was rather sinister.


    ¡°Crack~¡± The black sphere suddenly burst and turned into a cloud of black fog.


    Rapidly,


    The black fog formed a shadowy figure that was partly visible and partly invisible, and an invisible will enveloped the entire secret room.


    ¡°Oh Great God!¡±


    ¡°Oh Great Master,¡± the young Caucasian man knelt down on the ground, the high and mighty Flying Heaven Star Lord now looked like a servant, his eyes filled with fervor.


    ¡°It has been long since I last awakened you,¡± said the shadowy figure in the black fog slowly, ¡°But this time, I need to activate you.¡±


    ¡°Master, please command me,¡± said the young Caucasian man respectfully.


    ¡°By any means you can think of,¡± the shadowy figure in the black fog said slowly, ¡°kill the Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°Master, once I make a move, I¡¯m afraid I will be hunted down by demi-gods,¡± the young Caucasian man hesitated.


    ¡°Correct!¡± the shadowy figure in the black fog looked at the young Caucasian man and said, ¡°That¡¯s why you only have one chance. After killing, flee immediately to the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ I will also try to create as many opportunities for escape as possible.¡± Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    ¡°I will do my utmost to complete the task,¡± said the young Caucasian man respectfully, clearly not the kind that simply sold out the interests of his race as a sleeper agent.


    It was more like his mind was completely controlled!


    ¡­


    Outside, the world was bustling with action.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army led by Li Yuan had not stopped for a moment.


    In less than two days,


    The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army, based on the intelligence from the Thunder Light Beast King and past accumulated data, had preliminarily swept through the entire Ming Mountain.


    Every secret place belonging to the Mingxu Beast Clan, even the residences of the Three Great Beast Emperors¡­ all had been swept through.


    In this sweep, Li Yuan and his forces killed more than ten Flying Heaven Beast Kings they encountered.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings were simply unlucky; they never expected the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army to conduct such a fast and thorough sweep.


    Of course, most of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings were already deep in hiding, most burrowing deep into the ground.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s great strength, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find them in such a short time.


    Heavenly Serpent Lake was shrouded in mist,


    However, compared to its past beauty, today¡¯s Heavenly Serpent Lake was in ruins, with much of its water having already flowed away.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± One after another, huge warships tore through the layers of mist, descending for the second time over the surface of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    More than ten powerful figures descended rapidly from the warships, standing above the surface of the lake, led by a black-clad man with a gun.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, are you really prepared to enter through the passage in Heavenly Serpent Lake?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Could it be a trap?¡±


    The others couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    ¡°In the past two days, we have basically scanned the entirety of Ming Mountain, and we found only these two passages,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    One passage was located in the outer perimeter area 67 of Ming Mountain.


    The other passage was through Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    A little more than a day ago, when Li Yuan led the army here, they found nothing but emptiness, save for some first and second-rank Flying Serpents and an island in the heart of the lake.


    However, after thorough inquiry, Li Yuan and Luo Chan discovered a passage at the bottom of the lake.

 Chapter 544 - 314: Entering the Divine Land! You Are from an Alien Race (Extra 30)

    Chapter 544: Chapter 314: Entering the Divine Land! You Are from an Alien Race (Extra 30)


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°According to what the Thunderglow Beast King said, each of the Three Great Beast Emperors possesses a Spirit Orb, which corroborates with some of the information we¡¯ve gathered¡­ But we¡¯ve raided the residencies of the Three Great Beast Emperors and found none of the Spirit Orbs.¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The remaining Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan must have reorganized.¡±


    ¡°What the Thunderglow Beast King said can¡¯t be fully trusted.¡±


    ¡°The most crucial point is that the passage at the bottom of this lake was originally closed, but by the time we arrived, a large quantity of lake water had drained away¡­ The sealed array at the bottom collapsed on its own.¡±


    ¡°This is clearly a deliberate ploy left by the Mingxu Beast Clan, much like a trap.¡± Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, ¡°If you enter, you might be in danger.¡±


    Everyone present fell into deep thought.


    ...


    What Luo Chan said made sense.


    ¡°Luo Chan,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°But there are two issues. First, aren¡¯t you implying that if those Flying Heaven Beast Kings hadn¡¯t intentionally revealed the passage, we wouldn¡¯t be able to detect it?¡±


    Luo Chan was rendered speechless.


    Indeed!


    Regardless of whether Qing Sheng Beast King and the others destroyed the peripheral Origin Power Array, the Seven Star Civilization would certainly conduct a thorough inquiry of Heavenly Serpent Lake, merely delaying things at most.


    ¡°Second, I don¡¯t have a choice,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°There are now only two passages, and compared to the passage at the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake, the other is far more dangerous.¡±


    ¡°If this passage is truly dangerous, and one would die upon entering it, why would the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor bother personally guarding this place?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t spell it out. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Recently, he had received a message from Fang Hai: ¡°According to covert intelligence, the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization who entered the Divine Land via the ¡®Military Passage¡¯ around the periphery of Ming Mountain, some had perished not long after entering.¡±


    How did they perish? It was unclear!


    This was enough to indicate that both passages could be dangerous.


    Without more intelligence, Li Yuan had no choice but to gamble.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, should we wait a bit longer?¡± Li Yang suddenly said, ¡°Do we need to rush in like this?¡±


    ¡°Yeah!¡±


    ¡°We can completely continue pursuing those Flying Heaven Beast Kings outside.¡± Others also couldn¡¯t help but speak up.


    ¡°If the Three Great Beast Emperors keep hiding inside, shall I never enter?¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Without slaying them, can we be at ease claiming the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Give me and Jiang Zai enough time, and we are confident we can beat them,¡± Tavares said in a low voice.


    As a Prime Warrior who had made a breakthrough with True Intent, he believed that reaching the Flying Heaven Peak was not difficult.


    ¡°I believe that you might match the Three Great Beast Emperors in the future, even slay them, but how long would that take?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Ten years?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait that long,¡± Li Yuan sighed.


    Tavares opened his mouth but said nothing.


    Reaching the Flying Heaven Peak within ten years, he wasn¡¯t very confident about it.


    Naturally, he dared not make any bold claims.


    ¡°Moreover, I can wait, but can Yu Jinghe? Whether he can force his way out on his own¡­ that¡¯s a complete unknown,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°The geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization have already stormed in¡­ Do we let them run amok inside? If they seize some critical treasure, the outcome of this war is unpredictable,¡± Li Yuan slowly said.


    The other human Martial Artists present didn¡¯t know.


    But Li Yuan was very clear that anything could happen with a Divine Class Mothership.


    If the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization or the Three Great Beast Emperors took control of it and activated it¡­ then even a Demigod might not be able to withstand it.


    ¡°Entering this so-called Divine Land is indeed dangerous.¡±


    ¡°But if there was no danger, why rely on me?¡± Li Yuan said with a frank smile, voicing his true feelings.


    In the void, silence prevailed like a mute sparrow.


    Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others were lost in thought.


    In actuality, everyone knew, if ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ had not shown his heaven-defying combat strength, prompting the Seven Star Civilization leadership to resolve to fight¡­ facing the oppression of the Three Great Beast Emperors, the Seven Star Civilization might have already chosen to withdraw from the Mingxu Star Realm.


    In war, there are victories and defeats.


    Among the various Foreign Civilizations, the Seven Star Civilization is not considered one of the strongest.


    In the past, the Seven Star Civilization failed more than once in vying for star realms.


    For instance, in struggling over the Rob Sea Star Realm, they were constantly suppressed in battle, merely managing to maintain the defensive line.


    ¡°After I enter the Divine Land, you eight warships will return to the Bright Moon Base,¡± Li Yuan instructed, ¡°With the foremost Beast Kings slaughtered by my hand, even if the other Beast Kings band together¡­ breaking into the base won¡¯t be easy.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Tavares nodded.


    They all understood that the focus of this star realm warfare was no longer the vast territories of the Mingxu Star Realm, but the ¡®Divine Land.¡¯


    If Spirit Gun could succeed in killing the Three Great Beast Emperors within the Divine Land, that would be the true completion of a great achievement.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going in.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, layers of yellow and blue streams interwove around him, forming a domain with a diameter of about a hundred meters. The domain was the best for large-scale inquiry and could effectively provide early warnings.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The domain, laden with astonishing power, broke through the layers of water currents, protecting Li Yuan as he swiftly charged toward the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    Before long.


    ¡°The Origin Power Array that once concealed the lake bottom has been directly breached.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s realm and spiritual power were excellent, allowing him to sense the various fluctuations that were diffusing around him.


    ¡°This Origin Power Array must have been obtained by the Three Great Beast Emperors from the Mothership,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    An Origin Power Array, centered on the mysteries of heaven and earth, using Origin Power as its core and stabilized with various extraordinary items, could unleash tremendous power at critical moments.


    However, Origin Power Arrays are exceedingly rare; even demigods mostly don¡¯t utilize the mysteries of the universe with high efficiency.


    Just like storage treasures, which are easy for divine beings to create.


    But for demigods? It is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    What is difficult for others is not difficult for the accomplished.


    In fact, most of the Origin Power Arrays and storage treasures of the Seven Star Civilization were discovered in various ruins.


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch is indeed formidable, deducing that Ming Mountain might be a fallen Divine Class Mothership based only on its appearance and the scant information from the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan mused silently.


    The stronger he became, the more he could feel the unfathomable depths of Dongfang Ji¡­ Like before, the speed with which the latter collected the numerous materials needed to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ had surprised Li Yuan considerably.


    ¡°Passage.¡±


    Li Yuan finally reached the bottom of the lake, where it was extremely dark, but his powerful Divine Sense allowed him to scan hundreds of meters in all directions. What was key, however, was the bundle of light.


    This was a passage with a diameter of about a hundred meters, akin to a deep abyss.


    The passage emitted a hazy glow, preventing Li Yuan from seeing the space inside clearly.


    A tremendous flow of water was kept outside the passage by an invisible force.


    ¡°It does have some resemblance to the portals leading to Worlds within Worlds,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, recalling the scene when he first entered the World within Worlds in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°However, the surroundings of this passage seem to be made of metal,¡± Li Yuan sensed. ¡°It should all be the outer shell of a Mothership. According to the information provided by the Alliance Hierarch¡­ the entire Divine Class Mothership is forged into a single entity by the Origin Power Array, and even a demigod would have to attack thousands of times to breach the shell.¡±


    These Mothership shells may not be on par with Semi Divine Artifact materials, but through the combination via the Origin Power Array, they become incredibly sturdy¡­ Li Yuan had already tried and couldn¡¯t shake them in the least.


    He observed for a while longer.


    ¡°Enter!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan passed through his Domain and fell into the strange passage below.


    Above the lake.


    ¡°We¡¯ve lost the trace of the Spirit Gun,¡± Tavares spoke solemnly. ¡°He has entered the Divine Land.¡±


    ¡°He went in?¡±


    ¡°What about his life signs?¡± the others hastily asked, very apprehensive.


    ¡°According to the ¡®Life Crystal¡¯, there is no immediate danger to his life,¡± Tavares spoke solemnly. ¡°However, he just entered, and it¡¯s still too early to say for sure.¡±


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, there¡¯s a special Secret Treasure called ¡®Life Crystal¡¯ that can confirm the life or death of living beings within close proximity.


    If one dies, then the Life Crystal will shatter.


    Yu Jinghe had refined a Life Crystal before entering, to determine his life or death status.


    Li Yuan, not long ago, also refined a Life Crystal, then left it aboard the Fourth-order Battleship.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Without the Spirit Gun, we are very vulnerable now,¡± Luo Chan said softly. ¡°Better to quickly return to the Bright Moon Base, stand firm, and wait for news from Yu Jinghe and the Spirit Gun.¡±


    Soon after, eight Warships swiftly departed from Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    ¡­


    After falling into the glowing strange passage.


    Li Yuan felt a flash before his eyes and found himself in an immensely vast hall, the height of the hall was probably more than ten kilometers, and the diameter was even dozens of kilometers.


    This could no longer be called a hall, it was more like a small-sized space.


    ¡°Completely cast from metal?¡± Li Yuan held his breath, the huge space had an exceedingly smooth floor.


    Fully forged from metal, without even a speck of dust, everything seemed brand new.


    At the same time, there was a faint light shining from all sides of the space, making the whole area as bright as day, with nothing obscured.


    ¡°Passage?¡± After the initial shock had passed, Li Yuan immediately saw that there were more than a dozen passages not far away.


    At the depths of each passage, there was a shimmering light curtain, making it impossible to see what lay beyond.


    ¡°This should be the assembly square,¡±


    Li Yuan had information and quickly deduced: ¡°In the past, the powerhouses of this Mothership must have gathered here before advancing through the passage I just traversed.¡±


    ¡°If that passage were fully opened, it should stretch not just one hundred meters, but thousands or even tens of thousands of meters.¡±


    You see.


    According to the information provided by Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, a Divine Class Mothership could reach thousands of kilometers in length, fully capable of serving as a foundation for a civilization¡­ sailing the endless starry seas for eons.


    Ming Mountain is possibly just the half of that Mothership that crashed into the ground.


    ¡°Which passage should I choose?¡± Li Yuan wondered silently.


    Hum~ An invisible force suddenly swept across the void, its power was so strong, and its approach so swift, that Li Yuan had no chance to dodge.


    Layer by layer of inquiry!


    It was akin to scanning.


    In the next moment, without giving Li Yuan time to react further, boom! An abundance of light abruptly congealed high in the space.


    Countless beams of light converged to form a giant black Flying Serpent Phantom, covered with heavy scales.


    Even as a phantom, it emitted an immensely powerful aura.


    ¡°Flying Serpent?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly and a sense of vigilance surged in his heart.


    ¡°Alien Race!¡±


    ¡°You dare to trespass our clan Mothership; do you wish to die?¡± The massive black Flying Serpent Phantom loomed over Li Yuan.

 Chapter 545 - 315: A Mirror? Guidance of the Alien God

    Chapter 545: Chapter 315: A Mirror? Guidance of the Alien God


    Looking at the giant Flying Serpent in the void.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart startled at first, but he quickly calmed down, thoughts racing in his mind, ¡°Since Big Brother Yu and prodigies from the Myriad Demons Civilization could enter the Mothership alive, there¡¯s no reason I would be an exception.¡±


    One significant reason Li Yuan dared to burst in directly was the precedence set by others.


    If those who entered before had all died, Li Yuan would not have taken the risk.


    ¡°This Phantom, it must be a type of auxiliary detection intelligence of the Mothership, just like the ¡®Fourth-order Battleships¡¯ of my Seven Star Civilization, which also carry out preliminary checks when personnel come and go.¡±


    ¡°Besides, did he say ¡®want to die¡¯?¡±


    ...


    ¡°If it wanted to thoroughly kill me, there would be no need for such trouble, it could simply kill me directly,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In an instant, Li Yuan realized¡ªthere was a chance for life.


    ¡°Elder,¡± Li Yuan immediately called out loudly, ¡°I just entered unintentionally and did not mean any offense.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°In the past, any soldier not of our Alien Race who breached the Mothership would be killed,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom¡¯s voice was ice-cold, ¡°However, since the Mothership has crashed, according to the commands left by our clan elders and the Alien Gods¡­ any life that enters the Mothership, as long as they are not enemies of our race, can be given an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°Clan elders? Alien Gods?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, could it be that there were two forces within this Mothership?


    ¡°Elder, what opportunity?¡± Li Yuan respectfully asked.


    ¡°If you are willing to become a soldier of our race and undertake the corresponding responsibilities, you may live,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom looked down at Li Yuan.


    ¡°What responsibilities?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Simply become a soldier, the responsibilities will not be too great,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom spoke gravely, ¡°Choose now, either die or become a soldier.¡±


    ¡°Become a soldier,¡± Li Yuan said helplessly. Was there really a choice?


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°If you were a Third Order Life, it would be very easy to qualify as a soldier,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom slowly said, ¡°But you are just a Second Rank Life, for now, you can only serve as a reserve soldier¡­ Most Second Rank Lives are hard-pressed to become Third Order, therefore, a necessary assessment is required.¡±


    ¡°If you are not strong enough, and fail the assessment, you cannot even become a reserve soldier,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom glanced at Li Yuan, revealing a hint of sharp teeth, ¡°If you fail, then you must die!¡±


    Li Yuan, for his part, was not panicked; this was within his expectations.


    Previously, the Thunderlight Beast King had mentioned that even if one took another path as a soldier, one would still need to undergo necessary assessments to receive teachings in Star Techniques and weapons


    ¡°Elder, what is the assessment?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Look over there,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom pointed not far off in this space.


    Hum~ Hum~ The originally smooth ground started to coalesce out of thin air with a large amount of silver liquid, which gathered and rose, forming an almost transparent silver mirror in mid-air.


    At the top of the mirror, there was a row of quite noticeable black Crystal Stones that at first glance looked like a row of display lights.


    ¡°A mirror?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°Your trial is very simple, exhibit your full strength and attack this silver mirror,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom said softly, ¡°Do you see the ¡®test lights¡¯ at the top of the mirror? If your attack can light up three lamps, then you have passed the test.¡±


    ¡°If you can light up six, you can skip the status of reserve soldier and be directly granted the status of an ordinary soldier,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom continued.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    If six lamps lit up, it would signify possessing the strength of the Flying Heaven level, naturally granting him the status of an ordinary soldier.


    ¡°Begin.¡±


    ¡°You may use any combat weapons, Star Techniques, and the like, but the use of Origin Power Weapons is not allowed,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom spoke deeply. ¡°You may also attack multiple times, within one minute, as long as your strongest attack can light up three lamps.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded, unwilling to waste further time.


    Just one minute.


    Boom!


    With a mere thought, Li Yuan had transformed into a five-meter-tall figure with a robust aura spreading around him, already having employed the ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡± He then took hold of his long spear, and with a thunderous leap, he turned into a streak of light, dashing towards the giant silver mirror.


    In an instant, Li Yuan¡¯s speed erupted beyond six times the speed of sound, clearly having used ¡°Wind Feather¡±; the faster the speed, the more terrifying the power of his Spear Technique.


    ¡°Earth! Wind!¡± Li Yuan invoked the Mysteries of True Intent with all his might.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A dazzling Spear Light swept across hundreds of meters, surrounded by an elusive aura of True Intent Domain, further intensifying its terror as it struck the silver mirror like lightning.


    ¡°Bang~¡± sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A horrific burst echoed. Contrary to Li Yuan¡¯s expectations of lighting up eight or nine lamps¡­ the giant silver mirror exploded on impact.


    Li Yuan himself, due to the powerful recoil, was sent flying back, feeling soreness throughout his body.


    Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh! Countless fragments of the silver mirror shot in all directions, filling the space with numerous sharp collisions.


    Immediately after, as these fragments touched the smooth ground, they melted back into the surface, vanishing without a trace.


    The testing lights simply dissipated as well.


    The space fell silent.


    ¡°Elder?¡±


    Li Yuan turned his head toward the dumbstruck Flying Serpent Phantom and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Does this mean I¡¯ve passed the test?¡±


    The Flying Serpent Phantom was silent for a long time, complexity flickering in its eyes, before it finally sighed, ¡°Yes, being able to shatter a Second Rank Silver Mirror directly indicates that your attack power has reached level 35¡­ Naturally, you¡¯ve passed.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity you¡¯re from an alien race. If you were of our bloodline, with such formidable strength at Second Rank, following the elders¡¯ instruction, you might have had the chance to inherit the ¡®Chief¡¯s¡¯ position and take charge of the entire Mothership.¡± The Flying Serpent Phantom sighed, ¡°What a pity indeed.¡±


    The Chief¡¯s position? A thought stirred in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Before Li Yuan could ask more,


    ¡°Qiu Zunbing, why aren¡¯t you coming over?¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom looked toward the distant void.


    Li Yuan was slightly shocked. There was someone else here?


    Whish~ A multitude of light converged, forming another phantom in the void: a towering figure over three meters tall, clad in heavy armor resembling the people of Blue Star, except his head sported a single black horn. His gaze toward Li Yuan¡­ made Li Yuan feel an inexplicable pressure.


    Li Yuan faintly felt that this horned figure seemed even more terrifying than the Flying Serpent Phantom.


    ¡°Qiu Zunbing, you¡¯ve seen this kid¡¯s strength yourself,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom said, looking at the other, and began, ¡°We¡¯ve also conducted a preliminary check and it seems he¡¯s only 20 years old.¡±


    ¡°As for the talent of his Star Meridian, capable of cultivating a Body Refinement Realm to such power at Second Rank¡­ I need not say more.¡±


    ¡°In summary, he¡¯s a good seedling. It¡¯s up to you to seize the opportunity.¡± The Flying Serpent Phantom nodded and continued, ¡°If he weren¡¯t lacking our racial bloodline, I would never have let him go to you.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, I understand,¡± the horned towering figure nodded.


    ¡°Kid, what¡¯s your name?¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this fellow with the rough-looking face is Qiu Zunbing, also an ¡®Alien God Envoy.¡¯ How much fortune you can gain will depend on him,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom said, ¡°I will take my leave now¡­ If there is a chance for you to reach the core cabin in the inner layer of the Mothership, we might meet again.¡±


    ¡°Oh yes!¡±


    ¡°I have recorded your information and granted you ¡®Ordinary Soldier¡¯ privileges. Later, you can head to the ¡®Star Technique Armory¡¯ and ¡®Weapon Armory¡¯ to claim Star Techniques and weapons yourself.¡±


    Whish~ The Flying Serpent Phantom disappeared instantly.


    In this space, only the horned towering figure and Li Yuan remained.


    ¡°Elder Qiu Bingzun,¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Just call me Elder Qiu,¡± the horned towering figure loomed over Li Yuan, ¡°Your potential is very high. Since the Mothership fell ten thousand years ago, many lives have entered the Mothership¡­ but speaking solely of potential, you are likely the highest.¡±


    A thought stirred in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Ten thousand years! Again, ten thousand years, the Ancient Divine Palace had also fallen into the Fierce Feather Star Realm ten thousand years ago¡­ Could it be related to that great war between the divines a million years ago?


    ¡°The Flying Serpent you met just now is a training officer from the exterior of the Mothership, and ordinary soldiers like you all follow his orders. He is responsible for many things on the exterior of the Mothership,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°As for me, I am left by the Six Great Alien Gods to take charge of the Alien God area¡­ hence, I am known as an Alien God Envoy.¡±


    ¡°Alien God?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is there a difference?¡±


    ¡°That starts with the origin of the Mothership,¡± Qiu Bingzun said solemnly, ¡°The entire Mothership is one of the civilization bases of the ¡®Heaven Snake clan¡¯¡­ The Heaven Snake is a being on par with the True Phoenix, the Divine Dragon, and other powerful entities, potentially even more so. A pure-blooded Heaven Snake, upon reaching maturity, can become divine.¡±


    ¡°Many pure-blooded Heaven Snakes are even among the most powerful among the divines.¡±


    ¡°The Heaven Snake clan?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked. So that¡¯s how it was.


    Suddenly,


    Li Yuan thought of the Beast Emperor¡¯s title; no wonder it was called ¡®Heaven Snake,¡¯ it probably knew part of the truth.


    ¡°Of course, pure-blooded Heaven Snakes are exceedingly rare.¡±


    ¡°This Mothership was left by a Heaven Snake Divine as it went to meet a grievous battle, for its bloodline descendants to take and leave.¡± Qiu Bingzun continued slowly, ¡°Being lascivious by nature, that Heaven Snake Divine mingled with many half-divine beings from different clans, leaving behind countless bloodlines¡­ many clans in the Mingxu Star Realm contain a trace of the Heaven Snake bloodline.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, how could they ascend to the Flying Heaven Level so easily?¡±


    Astonishment crossed Li Yuan¡¯s face.


    The opponent actually knew about the Mingxu Star Realm?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised,¡± Qiu Bingzun continued, ¡°With the power chamber of the Mothership damaged and suppressed by the origin of the star realm, it can no longer move, but monitoring millions of miles of the starry sky with a Mothership is effortless, let alone a small star realm? We occasionally make inquiries, and we know of all your wars with the Mingxu Beast Clan and everything that has happened in the Mingxu Star Realm for thousands of years.¡±


    A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡±


    ¡°The Mingxu Beast Clan, though only containing a trace of the bloodline, is not considered a Heaven Snake descendant. However, due to that trace of the Heaven Snake bloodline, they are given some preferential treatment within the Mothership and have the hope to directly enter the inner layer,¡± Qiu Bingzun said slowly, ¡°As for outsiders like you, only by trying to advance through the Alien God area can you get in, which will be extremely difficult.¡±

 Chapter 546 - 316: Target! Encounter with the Beast Emperor

    Chapter 546: Chapter 316: Target! Encounter with the Beast Emperor


    ¡°Alien God area?¡±


    Li Yuan listened with increasing confusion, ¡°Elder Qiu Bingzun, what exactly is the relationship between this Alien God and the Heavenly Serpent Divine?¡±


    ¡°The Heavenly Serpent Divine is incomparably powerful. After all, ordinary divines cannot create such a vast Civilization Mothership. Many divines ruling over numerous planets don¡¯t possess such a mothership¡­ Therefore, there are quite a few divines who follow under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Divine,¡± the hulking figure with a single horn said to Li Yuan, ¡°Since these divines are not of the same race as the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent, they are referred to by those descendants as ¡®Alien Gods¡¯.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    These so-called Alien Gods bear a relationship to the Heavenly Serpent Divine reminiscent of that between the True Phoenix Divine and the Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Back then, when the Heavenly Serpent Divine joined the battle, many Alien Gods naturally followed into war,¡± Elder Qiu continued, ¡°But that battle was fated to be disastrous. Both the Heavenly Serpent Divine and the other Alien Gods knew that their chances of survival were slim¡­ hence the Mothership.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The Alien Gods, too, left their legacies in the ¡®Alien God area¡¯ on the Mothership¡¯s outer layer.¡±


    ¡°The treasures left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine are in the most central area of the inner layer,¡± Elder Qiu said.


    Listening, Li Yuan felt the situation was quite similar to that of the Ancient Torch Divine.


    However, the Ancient Torch Divine, in the midst of the great battle, realizing defeat was imminent, hastily ordered the True Phoenix Divine to flee.


    Whereas the Heavenly Serpent Divine seemed to have prepared more adequately, even leaving behind the Civilization Mothership.


    Of course, Li Yuan knew clearly that it was difficult to determine whether the Civilization Mothership or the Ancient Divine Palace held more value.


    ¡°What happened afterward?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Why did the Civilization Mothership crash into the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Not sure,¡± Elder Qiu shook his head, ¡°Not sure?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°It might have been attacked, or it might have encountered a cosmic storm while roaming the starry sea. Both are possible,¡± Elder Qiu said slowly, ¡°I was always in the Alien God area and did not know what befell the Civilization Mothership.¡±


    ¡°In any case, the Heavenly Serpent Divine and those Alien Gods never returned.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, the Civilization Mothership crashed¡­ Its engine room was destroyed, and most of the lifeforms inside perished, including all the powerful demigods and those at Flying Heaven Level¡­ by the time I met the training officer,¡± Elder Qiu stated, ¡°it had already been five thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Five thousand years?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    ¡°Later on, I found out that after the crash, many compartments of the Mothership were destroyed, unable to maintain a complete cycle of life, so almost all the remaining lifeforms were exiled to the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Elder Qiu said, ¡°At the time, the few lifeforms that had just been born in the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ were nearly wiped out.¡±


    ¡°This is the origin of the Mingxu Beast Clan, lasting till today.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, so to speak, many of the powerful clans within the Mingxu Beast Clan have the same source¡­ they aren¡¯t exactly natives.


    At the same time, it also explained why the Mingxu Beast Clan had become so powerful despite being so isolated and fiercely internally competitive.


    ¡°Over thousands of years.¡±


    ¡°The Mingxu Beast Clan slowly proliferated. Under our guidance, each generation of Flying Heaven Level would enter the Mothership,¡± Elder Qiu said, ¡°It¡¯s just that, most of them are very weak.¡±


    ¡°Until the past thousand years.¡±


    ¡°We sensed that within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Origin Power grew denser and life proliferated greatly¡­ We saw hope for beings to enter the inner layer,¡± Elder Qiu stated.


    A thousand years?


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind stirred; the Seven Star Civilization also rose in the last thousand years, especially in the last few centuries, with the emergence of Star Realms and the concentration of Origin Power between heaven and earth increasing continuously¡­ only then did Martial Path prosper.


    Could it be just coincidence?


    ¡°Elder Qiu, do you really hope someone enters the inner layer?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°The training officer really hopes so. There should be secrets in the things left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine in the inner layer, but I don¡¯t know and am not interested,¡± Elder Qiu spoke slowly, ¡°My responsibility is simple: to select sufficiently strong successors for the Six Great Alien Gods.¡±


    Successors of Divine Beings? Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up slightly.


    So, does that mean the ¡®Alien God area¡¯ holds the legacies of six divines?


    ¡°With such strength, and even practicing a Supreme Star Technique, your ¡®Seven Star Civilization¡¯ must be strong,¡± Elder Qiu said with a smile that wasn¡¯t quite a smile as if seeing through Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, ¡°Perhaps you are aware of the power of divines¡­ but don¡¯t hold too high expectations.¡±


    ¡°The Six Great Alien Gods were not about to die when they went to war. They carried most of their treasures and weapons with them, so the legacies they left behind¡­ are not as great as you imagine,¡± Elder Qiu stated.


    ¡°Any civilization would welcome more Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Elder Qiu said no more, raising his hand and slightly pointing to the void.


    Whoooosh~ A vast array of light converged, instantly forming a complex holographic projection over twenty meters in height and more than eighty meters in length, resembling a warship.


    ¡°Is this¡­ a map?¡± Li Yuan immediately recognized it.


    On this complex and enormous holographic map, aside from the normal multitude of passages, there was a purple area, a vastly extensive black area¡­ and a red dot.


    ¡°This is the map of the entire Mothership.¡±


    ¡°The black area is the inner layer, which you currently don¡¯t have the authority to know about,¡± Elder Qiu stated slowly, ¡°The purple area is the Alien God area¡­ and the red dot is your current location.¡±


    ¡°Memorize this map for now.¡±


    ¡°After committing it all to memory, let me know.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately focused on the map, with his spiritual power surpassing level 37¡­ Even trying to memorize such a complex map of passages in a short time was quite a challenge.


    It should be noted that, according to this map, the entire Mothership was over three thousand kilometers in length.


    How massive was this warship?


    The myriad of internal passages, chambers, and so on, were extremely intricate¡­ the entire Mothership was designed to support the basic operation of a civilization.


    Fortunately!


    Because the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent were huge in size, all the passages of the Mothership were especially large, making the actual space inside not as complicated as one might think.


    A quarter of an hour later.


    Li Yuan first closed his eyes and went through the map once in his mind to ensure there were no errors before opening his eyes again, ¡°Elder, I¡¯ve memorized it all.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Elder Qiu nodded, his face revealing a mysterious smile, ¡°Actually, there are map guides within each passage¡­ If you forget, you can check them again yourself.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°`


    Playing with me? So, the map was for nothing?


    ¡°Just remember it for now, there will be benefits.¡±


    ¡°If you follow the map, you will be able to rush to the Alien God¡¯s area to receive the heritage of the Six Great Alien Gods,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°I will wait for you in the Alien God¡¯s area. When the time comes, how far you can go will be up to you.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded continuously.


    Seeing Qiu Bingzun ready to leave, Li Yuan hurriedly asked, ¡°May I ask Elder, previously a member of my race came here, I wonder if you have seen him? How is he?¡±


    ¡°Your authority is not sufficient; I can¡¯t tell you,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°If not for your great potential, I wouldn¡¯t even provide these directions¡­ Reach the Alien God¡¯s area first.¡±


    ¡°Once your authority is high enough, you may, perhaps, control the entire mothership,¡± said Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°Oh, and one more thing.¡±


    ¡°There are no ¡®enforcement teams¡¯ within the mothership now, so none of you ordinary soldiers will be punished for killing each other¡­ Take care of yourself.¡±


    Whoosh~


    This towering solitary figure also vanished explosively, leaving only Li Yuan alone in this small space.


    ¡°Killing each other? Take care of myself?¡± Li Yuan immediately realized, ¡°Elder Qiu knows about our war with the Mingxu Beast Clan¡­ Is he warning me? Could it be that a Beast Emperor is planning to ambush me?¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t be completely sure and first suppressed this thought.


    ¡°If it were a normal soldier.¡±


    ¡°I guess they would head to the Star Technique Treasury or the Weapon Room first,¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°But I don¡¯t need to at all.¡±


    Having crossed hands with other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most star techniques were mediocre¡­ right, how could ordinary soldiers obtain powerful star techniques? Probably at most Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer Star Techniques.


    As for weapons? Top-quality Third Rank weapons at best.


    ¡°Regardless, none of that matters much to me,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Better to hurry and reach the Alien God¡¯s area as soon as possible.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s goals were firstly to strive for the Heritage of the Alien God and secondly to gain access to the Inner Layer.


    According to the training officer and Elder Qiu, the benefits of the Inner Layer far surpassed those of the outer layer.


    Li Yuan had already roughly guessed this.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors, if they wanted to enter the Inner Layer, should have another place of trial¡­ but that¡¯s a privilege of those with the Heavenly Serpent Bloodline.


    Alien races like himself can only go to the Alien God¡¯s area and accept the heritage of the Alien God.


    ¡°So, Big Brother Yu and the many talents of the Myriad Demons Civilization must be heading for the Alien God¡¯s area,¡± Li Yuan followed the map and chose one from the dozen passages in the distance, his designated path.


    The other passages? They all led to different areas.


    Zoom!


    With a movement, Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and passed through a light screen, entering a passage.


    The passage around, still a metallic corridor.


    Li Yuan sped along on his way.


    ¡°These passages are really wide, each one¡¯s diameter exceeds a kilometer,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He could understand this; if there were too many passageways, it wouldn¡¯t be convenient for descendants of the Heavenly Serpent.


    ¡°Cultivation Room?¡±


    ¡°Rest Room!¡±


    ¡°Lecture Room.¡±


    ¡°Hundred Battles Arena.¡±


    ¡°Star Technique Room.¡±


    ¡°Energy Room.¡± Li Yuan passed many super-large spaces along the way, trying them out¡­ He could enter some spaces, while others required higher authority.


    And each passage was well-lit.


    Clearly, even after tens of thousands of years, this Divine Class Mothership, though fallen, still retained most of its functions¡­ It wasn¡¯t something a single Prime Warrior like Li Yuan could handle.


    What Li Yuan could do was only to abide by its established rules.


    Zoom!


    Li Yuan, using the Star Technique ¡®Wind Feather¡¯ to move at high speed, swiftly approached the Alien God¡¯s area.


    ¡­


    In a hall space with a diameter of more than five kilometers, all four sides were cast from metal.


    Two colossal beings were waiting there.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, do you think we might have bet on the wrong horse?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor seemed a little impatient, speaking in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s been several days, and that Spirit Gun hasn¡¯t shown up. Could he have taken another passage?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°There are only two passages to the Alien God¡¯s area. As long as he came in through Heavenly Serpent Lake¡¯s passage, no matter how he detours, this space where we are is mandatory for him to pass through,¡± said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor calmly.


    Suddenly, in a far-off passage, the air vibrated faintly, and with the keen senses of the two great Beast Emperors, they both turned to look.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A stream of earth-yellow light burst out from a distance through one of the passages, and upon sensing the presence of the two great Beast Emperors, it abruptly halted.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The two great Beast Emperors also suddenly looked up, their eyes turning cold.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him! No doubt!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s immense body burst out with a powerful aura, and a heaven-shaking roar echoed: ¡°Meet your demise!¡±


    Boom! The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor howled as he soared upwards, charging towards Li Yuan.

 Chapter 547 - 317: Battle with the Beast Emperor! Full Force Explosion (Extra 31)

    Chapter 547: Chapter 317: Battle with the Beast Emperor! Full Force Explosion (Extra 31)


    ¡°[Target life, life level at 35.9, killing it will provide spiritual nourishment.]¡±


    ¡°[Target life, life level at 35.9, killing it will provide spiritual nourishment.]¡± As soon as Li Yuan charged into this hall space, he detected two powerful auras dispersing and immediately employed his Divine Palace Inquiry.


    From life level, to their shapes, to their appearances.


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor! Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor! Both Beast Emperors, damn!¡± Li Yuan cursed inwardly.


    There were three Beast Emperors in total, and he met two right off the bat?


    Suddenly, Li Yuan completely understood why Elder Qiu had specifically warned him earlier ¡®there¡¯s no enforcement team¡¯.


    ...


    Probably because Elder Qiu knew there were two Beast Emperors waiting here.


    In an instant, various thoughts raced through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Escape? To enter the Alien God area, one must pass through this hall passage, it¡¯s an obligatory route.


    To enter the Alien God area, there are two passages in total.


    If he took a detour, he would have to navigate thousands of kilometers of passageway, and both Beast Emperors could easily get through this hall and block him off from another direction after flying just a few hundred kilometers.


    So, from the bottom of his heart, Li Yuan didn¡¯t want to detour.


    Secondly!!


    ¡°One of the reasons I entered the mothership was to slay these three Great Beast Emperors.¡± There was a glint of battle intent in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°Having finally encountered them, I must at least give it a try.¡±


    Other Prime Warriors might fear the Beast Emperors.


    But Li Yuan asked himself, even if the three Great Beast Emperors really had overwhelming strength, killing him wouldn¡¯t be easy¡­ and moreover, he still held a trump card in his hands.


    Fight!


    Fight!


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan watched the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roar into flight, charging at him. With but a thought, he had seen it all, and instantly his slowed speed began to rise again.


    Boom! Without hesitation, Li Yuan executed ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ instantly transforming into a five-meter tall figure, covered in black battle garments, his aura exploding in an instant.


    The Black Chen Spear in his hand suddenly enlarged and was grasped firmly.


    ¡°Such a strong aura.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Both the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor felt Li Yuan¡¯s sudden burst of powerful aura, and their hearts were shaken.


    A Second Rank life emitting such strong aura?


    At this moment, both Beast Emperors faintly understood why so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings couldn¡¯t stop Li Yuan by themselves.


    This was no mere Second Rank life, the aura he emitted seemed on par with many Level 33 Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    Indeed!


    After cultivating the Supreme Star Technique, Li Yuan¡¯s physical base became comparable to level 30, and once he fully spurred the All Things Divine Body, his strength could completely match that of an untrained Level 33 powerhouse.


    The only flaw was that his Origin Power consumption was immense, and he had to finish the fight quickly.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared, his already enormous body dispersing a layer of misty blue divine light, causing the aura he emitted to surge¡­ which changed Li Yuan¡¯s expression slightly.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan quickly understood.


    The Star Technique that the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor cultivated turned out to be the Body Refining Star Technique, even the Chi Yen Beast King hadn¡¯t cultivated it.


    Body Refining Star Technique demanded stringent outside resources, logically, it should be difficult to collect many treasures in the resource-scarce Mingxu Star Realm.


    But Li Yuan didn¡¯t know.


    That the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, as the richest bearer of the ¡®Heavenly Serpent Bloodline¡¯ in the Mingxu Beast Clan for thousands of years¡­ received immense assistance from his trainers.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± The pair of wings on the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor gleamed even brighter, boosting his speed to a terrifying level.


    Originally five kilometers apart, they met head-on in a sprint¡­ colliding wildly in less than two seconds.


    Because Li Yuan¡¯s instant flight speed increased to over seven times faster, but the flight speed of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor skyrocketed to nearly ten times faster, even quicker than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡±


    Before the clash, the domains of these two strong contenders collided first, and for a time, they were evenly matched.


    Li Yuan¡¯s True Intention Realm was higher, drawing on more of the power of heaven and earth.


    But after the Heavenly Serpent Beast King activated the Body Refining Star Technique, his Divine Power became frighteningly strong, which when combined with his True Intention Domain, made his domain¡¯s power even greater.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± The terrifying domain clash sent shocking waves in all directions.


    ¡°Such a strong domain, indeed, his realm is much higher than mine.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor also realized this and a hint of envy emerged in his heart, ¡°How could a Second Rank life have such a high Skill Realm.¡±


    Rip~


    Sharp claws tore through the vast sky, their light causing the space itself to crack, screaming as it slashed towards Li Yuan.


    The so-called Flying Serpent Clan is entirely different from the ¡®snakes¡¯ on Blue Star; they have wings, sharp claws, and are more akin to the legendary ¡®flying dragons¡¯.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan, with soaring battle intent, did not evade. Swinging the Black Chen Spear in his hand, he struck against the howling sharp claw.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    Claw against spear collided.


    A terrible shockwave occurred, centered on the collision, instantly forming circles of dreadful shockwaves hurtling in all directions, booming against the walls of the hall, making the world seem dim for a moment.


    If they had fought in the outside world, their single collision would be enough to make the land within several kilometers collapse, and ordinary Prime Warriors caught in the radius would likely be killed by the impacts.


    However.


    This was inside a Divine Class Mothership, where the metal flooring could easily withstand attacks of a Demigod level, and it showed no signs of the aftermath of Li Yuan and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s engagement¡­ not even a trace.


    Not even the ground trembled.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was massive, with five sharp claws on his belly; for him, claws, tail, wings could all become weapons, and he also had an absolute advantage in speed.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor attacked frantically, using various parts of his body, attacking Li Yuan repeatedly, attempting to defeat him


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s only weapon was a long spear, yet extremely agile, activating the mysteries of two Supreme Star Techniques, unleashing his strongest combat prowess, and easily fending off attack after attack from the Heavenly Serpent Beast King.


    ¡°In terms of strength, he¡¯s far stronger than I am.¡±


    ¡°However, the gap in skill realm is quite significant.¡± Li Yuan and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had exchanged dozens of moves in a short time, with neither gaining a clear upper hand.


    ¡°This Spirit Gun, how can he be so strong? How can his spear technique possess such great power?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was equally astonished.


    He finally understood why the Chi Yen Beast King had been killed so effortlessly.


    It is known that before the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor advanced in realm, even at level 36 among the Three Great Beast Emperors, in terms of head-on combat strength, he was always the strongest. After all, he cultivated two Star Techniques, one of which was a Body Refining Star Technique.


    Naturally, after the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor advanced in realm, his power became even stronger, but he had ventured into the ¡®Elite Passage¡¯ and wasn¡¯t present here.


    However, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor did not expect that he would be unable to prevail over Li Yuan.


    He didn¡¯t realize that Li Yuan¡¯s strength relied on Star Technique, Skill Realm, in addition to the weapon¡­ allowing him such formidable power.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, why haven¡¯t you made a move?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent an angry telepathic message. Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A pair of massive wings whistled through the air, attempting desperately to block Li Yuan¡¯s path.


    Boom!


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, who had been blocking the entrance, suddenly soared into flight, its eight limbs whistling through the air.


    But what truly caught the eye were the dense ¡®eyes¡¯ scattered across its body.


    In the past, these eyes were all closed.


    Now, they suddenly snapped open.


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, its existence purely by coincidence, possessed a very special innate ability¡ªThousand Eyes Assault.


    Eyes are the windows to the soul¡­ With a thousand eyes opening simultaneously, its spiritual attack power would be greatly enhanced.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± The gaze of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor landed on Li Yuan.


    ¡°No matter how advanced his skill realm is, after all, he¡¯s only a Second Rank Life. Having a spiritual level at Flying Heaven Level is already not bad, the likelihood of being at Flying Heaven Peak is very small¡­ Even with a level 35 spiritual power, he should be affected.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was confident.


    For a Sky-Flying Level Life, their usage of the soul is mostly rather crude. Concepts like soul extermination are difficult to achieve, therefore, during most confrontations between powerhouses, even if their spiritual power is strong, they can only rely on Spiritual Shock to impose some impact on their enemies.


    And the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, inherently gifted in the domain of the soul, possessed spiritual power as high as level 36. Later on, from the secret technique treasury of the Divine Class Mothership, he cultivated a secret technique focusing on concentration¡­ combined with his innate ability, making his Spiritual Shock very terrifying.


    At least, among those at Sky-Flying Level, it would be hard to find an adversary.


    In the entire Mingxu Star Realm, over thousands of years, two of the most unique creatures born were the Chi Yen Beast King and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Engaged in fierce battle with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Li Yuan had just noticed the approach of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor when he was hit by a powerful Spiritual Shock sweeping toward him¡­


    ¡°Spiritual Shock? Solidify!¡± Li Yuan had been cultivating for too short a time to ponder too many Spiritual Secret Techniques, after all, he didn¡¯t have the innate gift of the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    However, he had occasionally contemplated some methods for condensing spiritual power.


    What was key, though, were Li Yuan¡¯s immensely strong spiritual power and willpower.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The intense Spiritual Shock was like an axe ferociously chopping onto a steel plate, reverberating ceaselessly but unable to truly have an impact.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Spear light crisscrossed, slicing through the vast sky, its power undiminished in the slightest, once again blocking the attack of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, there¡¯s no effect!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent an angry telepathic message.


    ¡°No effect?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°How is that possible! Could his spiritual will be stronger than you and Myriad Scales? How can there be such a heaven-defying Second Rank Life?¡±


    It was one thing for his combat strength to be strong.


    But for his spiritual will to be so strong, too?


    ¡°Then abandon the spiritual attack,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent a hurried telepathic message. ¡°Bind him. Don¡¯t let him escape. His Body Refining Star Technique is so terrifying, it must consume a great deal of Origin Power¡­ As long as we persist in this war of attrition, we can exhaust him to death.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    The body of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor whirled, speeding towards the two battling powerhouses.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The eight tentacles of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, already over a hundred meters long, swelled further, lashing at Li Yuan like gigantic ropes, attempting to bind him.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The murderous intent of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor surged, he attacked frenziedly, desperately entangling Li Yuan.


    ¡°They¡¯re all here.¡±


    ¡°Time to make a move! The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor is hard to kill, let¡¯s take down Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor first!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold.


    Just as the tentacles were about to touch Li Yuan, boom! boom! boom!


    A mysterious aura spread out.


    Then, Li Yuan split into nine, and in the void, nine Li Yuans appeared, each tens of meters apart, all emanating a very strong aura.


    They easily evaded the attack from Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    Seventh Layer Star Technique¡ª¡±Nine Shadow Clones.¡±


    Capable of creating each shadow clone and endowing each one with a certain level of strength, like Li Yuan who cultivated to the Second Order Limit, could give each clone ¡®twenty percent of his main body¡¯s strength.¡¯


    Of course, this twenty percent did not include the weapon¡¯s power.


    Nine Shadow Clones! All Things Divine Body! These two supreme Star Techniques worked in concert, representing Li Yuan¡¯s most explosive display of combat might.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So many phantom bodies? How come there are so many more than when he fought Chi Yen Beast King?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was stunned, feeling a bit panicked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic! They¡¯re just phantoms.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent a telepathic message, ¡°Chi Yen mentioned that his phantoms have no attack power, they are all illusions.¡±


    The words of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor were also somewhat self-assuring.


    He had also comprehended the True Meaning of Wind and was very aware of the difference between six phantoms and nine.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan roared furiously. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Nine figures dashed across the sky, casting radiant streaks as they intersected and swooped down on Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor like specters.

 Chapter 548 - 318: Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)

    Chapter 548: Chapter 318: Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)


    ¡°Annihilate.¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared angrily.


    He couldn¡¯t distinguish Li Yuan¡¯s shadow clones from the real one, so he could only draw on his True Intent Domain in an attempt to destroy those countless clones.


    But he soon found that he couldn¡¯t annihilate them at all.


    For one thing, Li Yuan¡¯s shadow clones already possessed twenty percent of his real strength, which was considered very strong among those at the Flying Heaven Level; they were not something that an ordinary True Intent Domain could easily shake.


    Secondly, Li Yuan himself could also draw on his domain to protect the shadow clones.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared, his massive tail whistling through the vast sky, sweeping towards several of Li Yuan¡¯s shadow clones.


    ...


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Nine Li Yuans flickered simultaneously, like phantoms, or as if following a mysterious vibration within their own True Intent Domain, the majority of the clones easily avoided the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s furious attacks.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± At the moment when one of the shadow clones was about to be hit by the enormous wings.


    Boom~ the entire clone dissipated with a bang, then quickly recondensed in another part of the void.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was both shocked and angry. He too had comprehended the True Meaning of Wind, albeit inclined towards the ¡®speed¡¯ aspect, but he had some understanding of phantom bodies.


    However, he had never thought that phantom bodies could be so agile and variable.


    In fact, if Li Yuan had merely drawn on the Shadow Domain, it would have been easily broken through since he had only just begun to form the True Meaning of Wind¡­ he hadn¡¯t truly condensed the True Meaning of Wind yet.


    But now, he was using the Seventh Layer Star Technique!


    The stronger the Star Technique, the more it represented a special combat method.


    ¡°Shadow Division Technique,¡± when used to create four phantom bodies, could display maximum efficiency, but that was just a Fifth Layers Star Technique.


    However, ¡°Nine Great Phantom Bodies¡± could affect nine phantom bodies simultaneously, coupled with Li Yuan¡¯s own two True Intents combined to form the Shadow Domain, it was enough to bring his combat power to a terrifying level.


    This was a Seventh Layers Star Technique! Many Demigods hadn¡¯t cultivated such a powerful Star Technique.


    It wasn¡¯t that easy to break through.


    To break through such a Star Technique, there were usually two methods: one was to use brute force, for example, a sheer overwhelming power that could sweep across the entire void in an instant, or a powerful domain suppression that could naturally discern the real body.


    The other was to break it through mastery, for instance, if one¡¯s realm was high enough, the shadow clones and the real body activating the power of heaven and earth would have subtle differences¡­ If one could sense this difference, one could naturally locate Li Yuan¡¯s real body.


    Unfortunately, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was not capable of either method.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Having failed to stop Li Yuan, the Nine Great Phantom Bodies were already approaching the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor like lightning.


    ¡°Scram!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor also activated his True Intent Domain, let out a furious roar, and eight tentacles whisked through the air, each striking at a different Li Yuan.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± the nine Li Yuans shouted in unison.


    Nine long spears crossed the sky, causing nine dazzling spear lights to blaze in the void, thrusting towards the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor from different directions, attempting to inflict maximum damage on him.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Boom~ Bang!¡± In a lightning-fast exchange, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor¡¯s huge tentacles, infused with astonishing might, batted away the long spears.


    ¡°Something¡¯s amiss! How are they all real?¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor sensed something was wrong the moment they touched.


    Didn¡¯t the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor say that phantom bodies have no attack power? Clearly, the situation was not right.


    ¡°That one! Over there!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, sensing something was wrong, managed to discern where Li Yuan¡¯s real body was, but it was already too late.


    ¡°Pfft~¡±


    The real Black Chen Spear, with a fierce stab, pierced a giant hole in one of the huge tentacles; dark green blood splattered, a shocking sight to see.


    If all eight tentacles were used, even in a direct fight the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was much weaker than Li Yuan, and facing Li Yuan¡¯s real body attack, he would at most be at a disadvantage.


    But now, with only one or two tentacles to defend? He was no match for Li Yuan at all!


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    ¡°Heaven Snake, you lied to me; his phantom bodies do have attack power!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor let out a mournful roar, ¡°And these phantom bodies have very strong attack power at that, I¡¯d estimate they¡¯re almost as good as Lei Guang and the others.¡±


    The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor truly panicked.


    ¡°What? The phantom bodies are that strong? Doesn¡¯t that mean there are the equivalent of eight top Beast Kings, plus Li Yuan¡¯s real body attack?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was stunned, naturally not believing that the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was lying: ¡°The path of phantom bodies, to be so terrifying? Could he have Semi Divine Level comprehension?¡±


    Boom!


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared and rushed over, joining with the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, the two Monster Emperors together attacking the nine Li Yuans flickering and weaving through the void.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan, using ¡°Nine Shadow Clones¡±, had several clones flickering, restraining the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, while his real body was fully engaged in attacking the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    After the confrontation just now, Li Yuan had confirmed that among the two Beast Emperors, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had terrifying direct combat strength and even faster flight speed, making him difficult to kill.


    In contrast, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, without the Body Refining Star Technique and with much weaker defenses, seemed like a level 35 but was in fact much easier to kill.


    ¡°Whir! Whir! Whir! Whir!¡± A blanket of spear lights burst forth, fast and fierce, enveloping the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    So ferocious.


    ¡°Faster than before.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor¡¯s expression grew colder: ¡°Even Wang Ling¡¯s offensive isn¡¯t this ferocious.¡± Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If it had just been plain phantom bodies, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor might have occasionally taken a gamble, but with each shadow clone¡¯s attack being very strong, he dared not disregard any spear light.


    Crucially, hidden among them was the most ferocious Li Yuan¡¯s real body.


    ¡°Boom~ Boom! Boom!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor struggled to defend himself, his eight tentacles also shining with light, significantly increasing their defense, like having eight arms, very strong in defense.


    But still!!


    He couldn¡¯t withstand it!


    ¡°Pfft~ Pfft!¡± Occasionally, his tentacles were penetrated by Li Yuan¡¯s Black Chen Spear, and even though his Flying Heaven Peak level Origin Power could quickly regenerate¡­ it still took time.

    Chapter 549: Chapter 318: Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)_2


    But Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t give him that time; the injury was naturally getting worse.


    ¡°How should I fight this?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor became increasingly panicked. Had it truly been Li Yuan with a group of Level 34 Beast Kings besieging him, he would have been less anxious because he could pinpoint Li Yuan¡¯s real position.


    Key point!


    It was that Li Yuan¡¯s real body was hidden among the many phantom bodies, making it impossible for him to discern¡­ Plus, the attack power of Li Yuan¡¯s real body was so terrifying that it was tough for the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor to defend against.


    Even occasionally, Li Yuan¡¯s real body would attack the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, forcing the latter into a flustered state, daring not to overlook any phantom body.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t right.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Such fearsome phantom bodies must be a powerful Star Technique, at least a Sixth Layer Star Technique, possibly even a Seventh Layer Star Technique.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor found it somewhat unbelievable: ¡°But his Divine Body is so strong, it must also be a superior Body Refining Star Technique, and then there¡¯s his flying speed¡­¡±


    ¡°How did he do it as a Second Rank Life?¡±


    ¡°According to the trainer, isn¡¯t a Second Rank Life supposed to cultivate a maximum of two Star Techniques?¡±


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor wasn¡¯t wrong in his thinking.


    Ordinary powerhouses, or even so-called geniuses, limited by their Star Meridian talents, usually had only one or two particularly strong Star Meridians, so they would choose to strengthen certain aspects.


    For example, Lude Nef chose the ¡°Assassination¡± direction, not cultivating Body Refining Star Technique, meaning he was destined to be not strong enough in head-on fights.


    While someone like Yu Jinghe, who chose head-on combat, would usually be average in aspects like the Escaping Method Star Technique and Domain.


    This was also something that Lie Feng Semi Divine had mentioned to Li Yuan before, that even if one had enough talent in the two great Laws of the universe, according to common sense, the cultivation of Star Techniques was limited, and it was difficult to fully utilize them.


    As powerful as the Ancient Torch Divine was, he definitely had the hope of acquiring three or even four Supreme Star Techniques¡­ but it was meaningless because the capacity of his Star Meridians determined he could only cultivate two.


    All these were common sense.


    Yet, there was this aberrant individual, Li Yuan!


    Normally speaking, if Li Yuan only cultivated ¡°Nine Shadows¡±, without the support of Body Refining Star Technique, each Shadow Clone would be very weak and negligible¡­ If he focused on body refining, at most he would cultivate the Shadow Division Technique.


    But he cultivated both.


    Plus the assistance of the other two Star Techniques, working in coordination, their effect was far greater than simply one plus one, truly turning every shadow clone of Li Yuan into an extremely terrifying force.


    No weaknesses!


    A single person.


    At full strength, he was actually suppressing the two Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡± At full burst, Li Yuan¡¯s movement technique and spear light became unpredictably ghostly to the extreme.


    Although Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor tried his best to defend, his frontline battle strength was inherently the weakest among the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    Tentacles blocked attack after attack, sustaining injuries.


    A prolonged defense would surely fail!


    ¡°Spurt~¡±


    Another spear thrust suddenly penetrated a tentacle, and following closely, two other shadow clones approached violently and thrust their spears at the same time¡­ the terrifying joint attack completely tore apart that tentacle.


    Tentacle!


    Severed!


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze turned icy, increasingly frenzied, as many phantom bodies suddenly broke free from the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor and all besieged the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.

    ¡°Heaven Snake! Help me block him.¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor shouted in shock and anger, struggling to escape into the distance.


    Having lost a tentacle, if the battle continued, a second, then a third would be severed¡­ his strength would drastically weaken.


    The strength that Li Yuan burst forth with was too terrifying.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    However, what Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor didn¡¯t expect was that as he was fleeing, another massive blue figure was escaping even faster than him.


    ¡°Heaven Snake!¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor roared, unable to believe the scene unfolding before him.


    ¡°I can¡¯t hold him off.¡±


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, if I try to block him, I¡¯ll easily be bypassed, and you¡¯re a whole notch slower in flying speed, you¡¯ll be chased down sooner or later¡­¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor whizzed by, transmitting his message: ¡°You¡¯re as good as dead, I¡¯m not accompanying you to the grave, I¡¯m taking my leave first.¡±


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor grew frightened.


    The desperate fight between the two sides, with him trying his hardest, was barely enough to assist the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    He was worried that if the fight continued like this and once the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor perished, Li Yuan might employ some special technique that would kill him as well.


    Whoosh!


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s speed soared, rapidly leaving Li Yuan and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor far behind.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, die.¡± Li Yuan, however, didn¡¯t bother with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, but continued his attack on the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    It seemed the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had also cultivated an Escaping Method Star Technique; his speed was simply too fast, and he was intent on fleeing, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t possibly catch up.


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡±


    Without the interference of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Li Yuan had even more strength to attack the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, whose one tentacle had not yet recovered¡­ Their strengths increased and decreased inversely.


    ¡°Swish~¡±


    The Long Spear cut through the Vast Sky, pierced through the void, directly stabbing into another tentacle, and the terrifying power exploded¡­ that entire tentacle violently burst, severing again.


    ¡°Aaargh!¡± The terrible pain drove him completely mad, but his madness couldn¡¯t cover up the significant weakening of his strength after the tentacle was severed.


    ¡°How is this possible!¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this!¡±


    ¡°I am a Beast Emperor, and I¡¯m going to be killed by a Second Rank Life?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor continued to struggle crazily; he felt death closing in.


    Boom!


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor finally rushed into a corridor, and Li Yuan without hesitation followed, the Long Spear whistling, continuing the attacks.


    Tear~ Another tentacle was torn apart.


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°I had imagined that I would die of old age or be killed by an invading Flying Heaven powerhouse.¡±


    ¡°But I never expected that I, Thousand Eyes, would die here in the mothership, killed by a Second Rank Life.¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor roared, staring intently at Li Yuan: ¡°Why are you, a Second Rank Life, so strong? Why?¡±

    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were icy cold, completely ignoring the telepathic message from the Thousand Eyes Beast King; nine streaks of Spear Light once again slashed across the Vast Sky, and the Thousand Eyes Beast King was powerless to block most of them¡­ One of the streaks suddenly smashed into the head of the Thousand Eyes Beast King.


    ¡°`


    ...


    ¡°`


    His head had already been attacked by Li Yuan three or four times in the fierce combat that had just occurred.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This time, it finally couldn¡¯t withstand the assault.

    ¡°`

    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The colossal body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King thunderously crashed onto the metallic ground, emitting a shaking sound.

    ¡°`


    Soon after, the corridor became completely silent.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°[You have killed a Third Rank being, obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment.]¡± A Divine Palace prompt flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s vision.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But Li Yuan glanced at one line on the Divine Palace panel: [Spiritual Awakening Level: 60% (Current Limit 60%)].


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°It seems that, as before, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is temporarily collecting Spiritual Nature nourishment, waiting until my Spiritual Awakening Limit increases before it gives it all to me at once,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°This is also a kind of accumulation, I suppose.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Having killed so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings before, his Spiritual Awakening Level had long since reached 60%.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    By rights, it was already possible for the Origin Power to enter his body for the sixth time.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Only,


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Just as when his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, more golden mist converged on the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and since Li Yuan did not choose to condense an Origin Pill, this golden mist had no use.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°It matters not.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The more golden mist that accumulates, the moment I condense my Origin Pill, perhaps I¡¯ll be able to cultivate my Origin Power to level 35 and even higher in an extremely short time,¡± Li Yuan pondered in his mind.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    His gaze fell upon the body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King lying below.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°He¡¯s been killed!¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°A Beast King! A Level 35 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast.¡± Li Yuan also felt a surge of joy and pride.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The strength of the Thousand Eyes Beast King seemed to be slightly inferior compared to a true Flying Heaven Peak powerhouse, but the difference was not significant¡­ Yet, it had fallen to Li Yuan.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°I anticipated correctly.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°When it comes to pure attack strength, I am quite ordinary amongst those at the Flying Heaven Peak,¡± Li Yuan inwardly said, ¡°But once I use the ¡®Shadow Clone¡¯, then even among those at the Flying Heaven Peak, I am not considered weak.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This was the confidence that allowed Li Yuan to dare to battle the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    And this was only the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    If he were to cultivate to the Third Order Limit, not only would the Shadow Clones become more stable and harder to distinguish¡­ but the strength of each Shadow Clone would also increase by thirty percent.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Any powerful Star Technique becomes more terrifying the further it is advanced.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Of the Three Great Beast Emperors, one has been killed, leaving only two,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense spread out, quickly sweeping over the body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King and collecting all the treasures.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°To kill the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor? I need to figure out a way to increase my speed.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor? Even more mysterious, I haven¡¯t encountered him yet,¡± Li Yuan calculated in his mind, transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the Alien God area.

    ¡°`


    ¡°He¡¯s utterly dead.¡±

    ¡°Thousand Eyes.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, who was fleeing at high speed through a passage, sighed inwardly: ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for not rescuing you, it¡¯s that I simply couldn¡¯t save you.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The Three Great Beast Emperors had tokens that could sense each other¡¯s life or death.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Myriad Scales, you must have sensed it too,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor thought anxiously, ¡°Now everything depends on you. Given the strength of that Spirit Gun, he is very likely to pass the trial of the Alien God area and enter the Inner Layer¡­ If you also fail, then my Mingxu Beast Clan is finished.¡±

    ¡°`


    The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was puzzled.

    ¡°`


    ¡°No matter,

    The deeper the understanding, the more clearly he realized the terror of the Mothership.

    ¡°What a grand hall,¡± Li Yuan held his breath.

    At first glance, this hall, with its height possibly exceeding ten kilometers and length perhaps more than fifty kilometers, was like a miniature world on its own¡­ compared to this hall, those he had passed previously were nothing.

    A sharp aura of metal. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ...


    Six humanoid statues, all with their eyes closed tight, emitting completely distinct auras, allowing one to broadly distinguish the differences between the Six Great Alien Gods.


    ¡°Hum~¡± Invisible fluctuations swept by, and a large amount of light converged, forming a formidable and bulky figure with a horn.


    ¡°Elder Qiu,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Your strength is much more formidable than I had imagined,¡± lamented Qiu Bingzun. ¡°A battle against two 35th level beings of the Flying Heaven level, and it ended with one dead and one fleeing.¡±


    ¡°Luck,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, though he inwardly sighed.


    His earlier analysis was indeed correct, Qiu Bingzun and that training officer probably had intimate knowledge of every part of the Mothership¡­ but they would not intervene, instead allowing the various factions to fight amongst themselves.


    ¡°Having come to the region of Alien Gods signifies that you are qualified to come into contact with the inheritance left by the Six Great Alien Gods,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°Follow me, let me introduce you to a thing or two.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan promptly followed.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun landed in front of the first statue, which was radiating a powerful flame aura.


    ¡°These six statues are left by the Six Great Alien Gods,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke softly.


    ¡°Are these Alien Gods all from the Human Race?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    All around were humanoid statues.


    ¡°Of course not, among the Six Great Alien Gods, only one is a true member of the Human Race,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°But in the endless river of dimensions, the Human Race¡¯s body is the most imbued with Spiritual Nature, and they possess the highest Comprehension¡­ Thus, deities of various races, upon becoming Divine, will often transform into humanoid forms, which are more conducive to cultivation. Usually, only when engaging in battle will they transform into their true forms.¡±


    ¡°Only after becoming Divine can one perfectly transform their body,¡± Qiu Bingzun added. ¡°These statues here all resemble the humanoid forms of these Alien Gods.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; the Human Race body indeed contained such profound mysteries.


    ¡°Look.¡±


    ¡°Beneath each Divine statue, there are nine stone steles,¡± Qiu Bingzun pointed to the steles and continued slowly: ¡°These steles constitute the First Layer of the trial. Within the steles, the cultivation insights of these Divine beings are contained¡­ What you must do is to comprehend the steles.¡±


    ¡°The more you comprehend, the more aid you will have in obtaining the Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°There is no time limit on your comprehension.¡±


    ¡°When you feel that your comprehension is profound enough¡­ you may proceed along the passage behind the stele to accept the final test¡­ The passage will lead to the site of Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards the passage beneath the towering statue. It wasn¡¯t very big, but it seemed extremely mysterious.


    He had no idea what lay in the depths, nor where it led.


    ¡°You may freely comprehend any of the steles left by the Six Great Alien Gods, but in the end, you can only choose one Alien God¡¯s heritage site to undertake. Remember, you only have one chance. Whether you can gain great advantages depends on yourself,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan and said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, but then couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Elder, to gain the benefits of the inheritance, must one fully understand all nine steles?¡±


    ¡°Naturally, that is not the case.¡±


    ¡°Third Order Life beings must fully grasp every stele to have a chance at the inheritance,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°For Second Rank Life, comprehending just the first six steles can offer a good chance.¡±


    ¡°The first six steles?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s interest was piqued, that shouldn¡¯t be too difficult.


    ¡°Alright,¡± he replied.


    ¡°That which I needed to tell you, I have said,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°From now on, it¡¯s up to you.¡±


    ¡°Go and choose the Alien God steles that best suit your understanding.¡±

    Chapter 552: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization


    ¡°Oh right, I have to remind you first,¡± Elder Qiu chuckled, ¡°If you want to enter the inner layer of the mothership, you must at least become the Direct Disciple of a certain Alien God.¡±


    ¡°Inner Sect Disciple?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°Each Alien God has left behind three different levels of inheritance: Direct Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, and Disciple by name¡­ Among them, becoming a Direct Disciple or an Inner Sect Disciple isn¡¯t solely about strength but about your choice,¡± Elder Qiu explained.


    ¡°Choice?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°With gains come losses. The many Alien Gods left behind their heritage with the thought of passing on their teachings as well as the commands of the Heavenly Serpent Divine¡­ but they all have their own demands,¡± Elder Qiu said with a smile, ¡°With your talent, if you choose the right path, there is hope for you to become a Direct Disciple, but you have to make a choice.¡±


    ¡°If you can¡¯t do it, it¡¯s best not to agree, otherwise it can easily affect your future.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; he could comprehend the reasoning.


    One must act for their own gain or be obliterated by heaven and earth. Even the Ancient Torch Divine had something to request when leaving behind an inheritance, it¡¯s just that his own strength was still weak, and Gu You hadn¡¯t told him till now.


    ¡°Also,¡± Elder Qiu continued with a smile, ¡°I remind you once more, according to the rules, fighting is forbidden anywhere within the mothership, especially within the Alien Gods¡¯ domains and the inner layer areas. If the enforcement squad were still present, any outbreak of battle would likely result in the combatants being killed on the spot by the enforcement squad.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity, the enforcement squad left long ago¡­¡± Elder Qiu shook his head, and his figure thunderously dissipated.


    Li Yuan stood there, a trace of astonishment on his face.


    ¡°What does Elder Qiu mean?¡± Li Yuan felt a bit puzzled, ¡°Last time he warned me, and then I immediately encountered two Great Beast Emperors and a fight broke out.¡±


    ¡°He warned me again.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that other potentates are converging here?¡± A sliver of murderous intent flickered across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°Is it the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor from the Three Great Beast Emperors? Or those geniuses from the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡±


    Only these individuals had entered the mothership.


    ¡°No matter.¡±


    ¡°At present, it¡¯s unclear whether others have entered the inner layer or not,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor has never appeared; it¡¯s very possible that he entered the inner layer through the ¡®Heavenly Serpent Bloodline¡¯ trial.¡±


    ¡°And the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization, I¡¯ve never encountered them. Have they all entered the inner layer?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°No matter.¡±


    ¡°In any case, according to Elder Qiu, you can actually fight anywhere within the entire mothership,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had truly stepped beneath the first Alien God statue. The statue was incredibly lifelike, its eyes cold, seemingly filled with anger, and it radiated an endless ferocious aura.


    The Vein of Fire!


    This Alien God clearly became divine through the Law of Fire!


    ¡°Stone wall,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell upon the nine stone walls, on which were engraved marks resembling flames.


    The nine stone walls, each with a different flame carved into it, emitted unique mysterious vibrations¡­ Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan contemplated; through the process of comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind, as one principle leads to all methods, he had inadvertently also come to understand other mysteries of heaven and earth, such as the Mysteries of Water and Metal, both of which he had already crossed the Fifth Stage threshold¡­ yet for the Mystery of Fire and Thunder, he hadn¡¯t even reached 1% of the Fifth Stage.


    ¡°The Mystery of Fire is too profound,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, able to sense the mystery of the nine great walls with his realm.


    But he just didn¡¯t understand it.


    ¡­Time passed, and Li Yuan had preliminarily observed all six Alien God statues!


    During the observation process, Li Yuan discovered that each of the Six Great Alien Gods had become divine through one of the six Laws of Fire, Wind, Earth, Metal, Thunder, and Water, and the stone walls they left behind naturally contained the respective mysteries of these laws.


    ¡°If I go on to forcefully comprehend the Law of Fire or Metal, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t even be able to become the Disciple by name of an Alien God,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Everyone has their strengths.


    His strongest was still the Earth Vein, followed by the Wind Vein¡­ in other areas, after all, he wasn¡¯t skilled and expending ten times the effort, he feared he would only gain a fraction of the results.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just choose from among the Earth and Wind Alien Gods,¡± Li Yuan approached the statue of the Earth System Alien God.


    This was an old man with a profound and simple demeanor, kind-eyed and benevolent, with a compassionate appearance.


    Standing under this statue made Li Yuan feel very warm.


    ¡°Stone wall,¡± Li Yuan silently resonated with the first wall, which was engraved with a vast and heavy land.


    ¡°The great land is heavy.¡±


    Li Yuan, who had already gained keen insights into the True Meaning of Earth, and solely relying on the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth, could already rival Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses¡­ one could imagine how fast his progress had been.


    In just a quarter of an hour, Li Yuan had completely understood the mystery held within the first stone wall.


    ¡°Coalesce!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the power of heaven and earth gathered, forming a corresponding pattern in front of the first stone wall, emanating identical mysterious vibrations.


    ¡°The second stone wall,¡± Li Yuan looked towards the next stone wall, which, like the first, was engraved with a vast expanse of land, only this time there was a seed within it.


    On the third stone wall, the seed had sprouted.


    On the fourth stone wall, the sprouted seed broke through the ground amidst the vast lands.


    The fifth stone wall¡­


    ¡­


    In three days¡¯ time, Li Yuan was constantly immersed in contemplating the nine stone walls left by the Earth System Alien God, and he had understood up to the sixth stone wall in one go¡­ then he was halted by the seventh stone wall.


    According to Elder Qiu¡¯s guidance, only by understanding six stone walls, one could hope to obtain the Heritage of the Alien God.


    But Li Yuan himself hesitated.


    ¡°The path is not right.¡±


    ¡°The path pursued by this Earth System Alien God is different from mine,¡± Li Yuan gradually realized this point from the nine stone walls: ¡°This Alien God¡¯s contemplation was on the aspect of ¡®nurturing¡¯; the vast land is indeed expansive and nurtures all things, providing sustenance to them.¡±

    Chapter 553: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°But what I pursue, my True Meaning of Earth Mastery, is merely to bear all things, to embrace all things,¡± Li Yuan reflected thoughtfully.


    There is no right path.


    Every Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything. Starting from the Law of Earth, one can nurture all things, and the same goes for the Laws of Water and Wood¡­ there is only the path that best suits oneself.


    ¡°What I pursue.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Is to bear, with the vastness of Earth, to carry the Rhythm of Wind, to form a space of absolute control, and even ultimately touch upon the Mysteries of Space,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    This was the cultivation path Li Yuan had long since conceived.


    The boundlessness of heaven and earth, the carefree and unrestrained nature of the wind, is also what he genuinely liked.


    And nurturing all things, the evolution of life? That too is an ultimate path, but at least for now, it is not Li Yuan¡¯s pursuit.


    ¡°The path is decided by the heart.¡±


    ¡°As of now, I haven¡¯t even entered the threshold of the vast Law of the Great Dao, biting off more than I can chew,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°This path of the Earth System Divine does not agree with me; there¡¯s no need to force it.¡±


    If Li Yuan had already delved deep and far into the Law of Earth, he might be able to take some reference from it.


    But where is Li Yuan now in terms of his realm?


    ¡­


    ¡°Wind System Alien God,¡± Li Yuan arrived at another Alien God statue.


    The same nine stone walls.


    In the first stone wall, what was engraved was a figure, with eyes tightly closed, standing alone in the void, exuding a trace of ethereal and invisible charm.


    ¡°The fluctuation of wind?¡± Li Yuan whispered to himself, sensing carefully.


    Gradually, a smile appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s face, ¡°As expected, just like the insights I had before, this Wind System Alien God also pursues the direction of Phantom Body.¡±


    During his prior cursory contemplation of the paths of the Six Great Alien Gods, Li Yuan had a rough understanding of each, but his heart was more inclined towards the Earth System Alien God, as that was where he was most confident.


    But now it seemed that the path of this Wind System Alien God was more suitable for Li Yuan.


    ¡°The profundity contained in this stone wall seems to bear some resemblance to the Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes slightly lit up.


    The Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram, bestowed by Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, contained over a thousand strands of Mystery, seemingly chaotic, yet unified. Over the past few months, Li Yuan had been pondering its Mysteries.


    But those mysterious fluctuations were still too complex for Li Yuan at his current realm.


    Yet looking at these stone walls, Li Yuan quickly found commonalities between them.


    ¡°This first stone wall might correspond to five or six strands of Mystery in the Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram¡­ but it has been perfectly combined,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened.


    As if one offered an outline.


    The other provided practical cases for insight¡­ they could be combined for contemplation.


    ¡°Hahaha.¡±


    ¡°This is indeed my opportunity,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile and delved into contemplation.


    The first stone wall depicted one figure.


    The second stone wall had two figures.


    The third stone wall displayed four figures.


    ¡­Gradually, Li Yuan also discovered that the nine stone walls left by the Wind System Alien God had a connection with the ¡°Nine Shadow Clones,¡± which was actually a set of extremely powerful battle Methods.


    ¡°Star Technique is a way to utilize the Star Meridian to brand Starmarks, greatly enhancing the ability to wield the Mystery of the heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If one advances to a profound level, even without practicing Star Technique, one can exert the power of Low-Level Star Technique.¡±


    Like the Demigods.


    Using Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique, their strength is hardly improved, and that¡¯s why.


    ¡­In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days had passed.


    Time had already entered the month of October.


    The various forces that entered the Mingxu Star Realm were already doubtful about the so-called ¡®Divine Land.¡¯


    But whether it was the Seven Star Civilization, Myriad Demons Civilization, or Tianliang Civilization, they could only verify the life and death of the entrants, without the ability to communicate¡­ unclear of the specifics.


    So much time had passed.


    People like Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe, Xue Yan, and Fu Yuan, who were the top talents dispatched by their respective civilizations, entered and had no news for so long.


    These civilizations dared not casually send any more successors.


    Inside the Mothership, in the Alien God area.


    Below one of the Wind System Alien God statues, a black-clad figure was seated cross-legged.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°That¡¯s it,¡± Li Yuan, who had been meditating and contemplating, following the mysterious fluctuations of the wind, finally caught that fleeting inspiration.


    An invisible fluctuation spread out.


    Hum~hum~hum~ silently, around Li Yuan, figures appeared out of thin air, some standing, others seated, and some standing in the distance with a silly grin.


    A total of nine figures, each with a different posture.


    ¡°The Mystery of Wind has finally completed its Transformation into the True Meaning of Wind,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s lips curled into a subtle smile.


    In early July, when he bid farewell to his teacher, he only managed to condense the embryonic form of True Intent, at the level of 99% of the Fifth Stage.


    And now, just three months later, he successfully stepped into the Sixth Stage, truly condensing True Intent.


    This was an astoundingly rapid pace.


    People like Bertman, Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef, it took at least a year or more for them to make this step.


    ¡°My talent in the Wind Law, after all, isn¡¯t as high as in the Law of Earth,¡± Li Yuan reflected inwardly.


    The breakthrough came so quickly.


    It was partly due to various fortuitous enhancements, but more importantly, in these past few months, Li Yuan had gone through life-and-death battles time and time again¡­ Each battle was a priceless trial.

    Until he arrived at the Alien God area and saw the nine stone walls of the Wind System Alien God. Borrowing inspiration from them, he made the leap forward in one fell swoop.


    ¡°Nine Great Phantom Bodies,¡± with a thought from Li Yuan, the nine phantom bodies simultaneously sprang into action.


    Bear in mind, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t used any Star Technique; these were formed from the Mystery of True Intent.


    It represented a new height Li Yuan had reached in the ¡°Phantom Body¡± direction.

 Chapter 554 - 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_3

    Chapter 554: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_3


    ¡°Simply triggering the Nine Great Phantom Bodies doesn¡¯t greatly amplify strength,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently. ¡°The Mysteries of True Intent is too weak, and the attacking power of the Phantom Body is far from the Flying Heaven Level¡­ If I were to fight the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I¡¯m afraid the Phantom Body would be destroyed by his attacks.¡±


    But!!


    With the current grasp of the Mysteries of True Intent, when Li Yuan applied ¡°Nine Shadow Clones,¡± their power would soar dramatically¡­ Previously, the Nine Shadow Clones were forced, occasionally being hit by the enemy; that was because Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of The Mystery of Wind wasn¡¯t deep enough.


    But now, as Li Yuan¡¯s Skill Realm advanced further, the emergence of the Nine Shadow Clones became even more eerily unpredictable.


    ¡°The power of Star Technique is stronger.¡±


    ¡°My Spear Technique is also significantly stronger than before,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    ...


    Whoosh!


    A Black Chen Spear appeared in his hand; taking a step forward, the nine phantom bodies moved simultaneously, and as the long spear silently thrust forward, it had already crossed a kilometer of void.


    Not a sound was heard.


    Only an obscure trail of a spear mark remained in the void, which took a long time to fully dissipate.


    ¡°The speed has increased.¡±


    ¡°The attacking power, increased by about twenty percent.¡±


    ¡°This is still because the integration of my two great Mysteries of True Intent isn¡¯t thorough enough,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Once they are perfectly combined, the power of my Spear Technique should increase even more.¡±


    Thinking this.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes landed on the Divine Palace panel before him:


    [Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank), True Meaning of Wind (Sixth Stage Initial Rank)¡­]


    Now, Li Yuan could truly be considered to have congealed two great Mysteries of True Intent.


    ¡°Continue to work hard.¡±


    ¡°If I follow this path, once each of the two great Mysteries of True Intent breaks through another step and then combine, my Spear Technique should be comparable to the Demigod Level,¡± Li Yuan anticipated eagerly.


    If he were to comprehend a single True Intent to reach the Sixth Stage Perfection Level, how difficult that would be.


    But once different True Intents combine, once on the right path, progress comes much quicker.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t waste too much time after initially combining the breakthroughs of the two great Mysteries of True Intent.


    He continued to contemplate under the Alien God statue.


    Fully congealing the True Meaning of Wind, Li Yuan¡¯s speed of understanding and deducing the nine stone pillars considerably accelerated.


    Just two days later.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally understood the sixth stone pillar,¡± Li Yuan said, observing the nine figures on the sixth stone pillar.


    If the Mysteries of True Intent hadn¡¯t broken through, he likely wouldn¡¯t have understood it so quickly.


    ¡°Three more stone pillars,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes moved to the last three stone pillars.


    The seventh stone pillar featured sixty-four figures.


    The eighth stone pillar featured one hundred figures.


    And the ninth stone pillar was densely packed with six hundred figures¡­ The further one went with the stone pillars, the more staggeringly the difficulty increased.


    ¡°To fully comprehend the nine stone pillars, Sixth Stage Perfection might not be enough,¡± Li Yuan secretly sighed. ¡°To understand the six stone pillars, Sixth Stage Initial Rank might be hopeful.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but recall Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words.


    Second Rank to arrive, hopeful to understand the six stone pillars; if at Third Order Life, should aim to comprehend the nine stone pillars¡­ Clearly, the requirements seemed higher for Third Order Life.


    ¡°Continue and try to comprehend the seventh stone pillar,¡± Li Yuan said patiently. ¡°I¡¯ve only just reached the baseline; I¡¯ll do my best to improve my skill level.¡±


    Li Yuan continued to ponder over the seventh stone pillar.


    In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, felt something and abruptly turned his head toward a nearby place.


    Boom~


    The initially flat metallic ground at the center of the Alien God area suddenly began to tremble violently; immediately afterward, the metallic ground split open, revealing a huge hole.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Four figures sprang out from the hole.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°Rolbis, you were just a bit short of winning.¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s still Xue Yan¡¯s power that¡¯s formidable, breaking through directly and entering the Inner Layer. We¡¯ve been trapped in this trial area for so long, yet still failed to succeed.¡±


    ¡°Stop it, I waited for you guys for more than ten days at the first layer, and you all ended up failing,¡± the four chattered among themselves.


    But abruptly, their voices dwindled; they were shocked to see a figure in black not far off.


    A figure dressed in black, even the facial features completely obscured, was standing under that great Wind System Alien God statue looking at them.


    Rolbis, a handsome and elegant young man, had a trace of wariness in his eyes, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    To their senses, the man in black seemed to be only of Second Rank, but his life force felt exceptionally strong.


    ¡°Fellows, you must all be talents from the Myriad Demons Civilization, right?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was calm. ¡°This one should be Rolbis.¡±


    ¡°This one, should be Yu Fu.¡±


    ¡°This one should be Jin Liang¡¯s Direct Disciple ¡®Fu Yuan,¡¯ right?¡±


    ¡°And you? I don¡¯t recognize you, but to be here, you must have been a Prime Warrior Saint Heir from the Tianliang Civilization previously,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over them, pointing out their identities one by one.


    The moment these four appeared.


    Li Yuan had already executed Divine Palace Inquiry, confirming their life levels¡ª29.9 Level, 29.9 Level, 30.8 Level, 30.7 Level.


    Two Prime Warriors.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors.


    It should be noted that Li Yuan had long obtained extensive data on the talents of the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization, especially the very top ones, quickly identifying them by their appearance.


    Rolbis and Lu Lei, hailing from the Myriad Demons Civilization, were the super geniuses Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai had warned about before.


    Both of their strengths were no lesser than Yu Jinghe or Lude Nef.


    Fu Yuan was regarded as the most formidable talent of this era in the Tianliang Civilization. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As for Yu Fu and the last bald young man, Li Yuan didn¡¯t pay them much attention.

 Chapter 555 - 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_4

    Chapter 555: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_4


    These two people have already broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors, so it¡¯s almost certain that they cannot be the most top-tier geniuses.


    Just like the Seven Star Civilization, they would absolutely regret letting a genius like Yu Jinghe break through within Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°Xue Yan and Lu Lei?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen them along the way. Have they both entered the Inner Layer?¡±


    Xue Yan was the genius from Myriad Demons Civilization Li Yuan was warned about as having the strongest strength before he entered the Mothership¡¯s Inner Layer.


    Rumble~ The split cavern had been slowly closing, but Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the other two, hearing Li Yuan single out their identities one by one, were already shaking with shock.


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡± Yu Fu stared at Li Yuan, whose outfit was somewhat different from before.


    ...


    ¡°Smart.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°You are the Spirit Gun?¡± A glint of curiosity shone in Rolbis¡¯s eyes as he stared at Li Yuan, ¡°You¡¯re facing the four of us alone, and you¡¯re not the least bit afraid?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    The youth in black, Fu Yuan, also stared at Li Yuan: ¡°I¡¯ve heard from the teacher that your strength is extremely strong, seemingly already close to level 34.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four genius powerhouses realized Li Yuan¡¯s identity and immediately scattered, surrounding him in a semi-encirclement and trapping Li Yuan in the center as if they were afraid he would escape.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Haha, Xue Yan said before that he wanted to deal with you after leaving the Mothership,¡± Rolbis laughed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect we¡¯d run into you so soon. Perhaps one-on-one you might be stronger than any of us, but there are four of us.¡±


    ¡°Should kill.¡± Yu Fu glared at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Surrounding me?¡± Li Yuan was first stunned, then a smile emerged, ¡°Good, then come and kill me.¡±


    Li Yuan had realized that the four geniuses from Tianliang Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization knew nothing about his battle where he killed hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    ¡°Take action!¡±


    ¡°No more talking to him.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Only a fight.¡± Rolbis, Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and the bald youth all moved at once, turning into four terrifying streaks of light, attacking Li Yuan from all four directions simultaneously.


    Their speed was incredibly fast, reaching over triple the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.


    Rolbis was the fastest, his speed surging to nearly quintuple the speed of sound.


    The four of them knew Li Yuan was exceedingly strong, but meeting on a narrow path, they had no reason to retreat.


    And all four were quite confident, especially Rolbis.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Rolbis¡¯s body instantly transformed into five meters tall, his body shrouded in a cyan glow, holding a terrifying Battle Axe in his hand¡­ The formerly elegant youth now resembled a War God.


    ¡°Seventh Layers Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong life aura?¡± A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    He was starting to understand why Rolbis and the others were so confident.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡± With an angry shout from Rolbis, before he arrived, the wild life force had already begun to spread out.


    Whoosh!


    A massive axe glow tore through hundreds of meters of the Vast Sky, howling as it split towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Powerful!¡±


    ¡°Rolbis, worthy of being someone who is only a step away from the Inner Layer.¡±


    ¡°His strength is definitely comparable to level 33.¡± Expectation gleamed in the eyes of Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and the bald youth.


    But then. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Fu Yuan, also flying at high speed, changed his expression slightly, ¡°Not good! Rolbis, run!!¡±


    Just as Rolbis swung down his massive Battle Axe ferociously.


    Li Yuan, who had been waiting in place, finally moved; his body also inflated to five meters tall in an instant.


    A violent and powerful aura surged to the heavens.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan took a step forward, and with full force using ¡°Wind Feather,¡± his speed instantly surged to over eight times the speed of sound, like a terrifying meteor streaking across the sky.


    He charged straight into Rolbis¡¯s True Intent Domain, which barely affected him at all.


    ¡°What? This speed?¡± Rolbis¡¯s face also greatly changed, as he realized something was off.


    But by then it was already too late to retreat.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± A black Long Spear swept across the sky.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    The Long Spear and Battle Axe collided, a terrifying force transmitted through the weapons, instantly knocking Rolbis senseless, as his whole body was blasted away, and the Battle Axe in his hands flew out of his grasp.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A sweep of the spear across the sky, and Rolbis, still mid-flight, instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.


    Rolbis, dead!


    ¡°Now there¡¯s only the three of you left.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the other three, who were shocked beyond belief, and he murmured softly, ¡°Falling behind in intelligence can be deadly!¡±

 Chapter 559 - 321: Laws Oath!

    Chapter 559: Chapter 321: Law¡¯s Oath! ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation


    The hall¡¯s arena was vast.


    But with these hundreds of Silver Armored Warriors surpassing the speed of sound as they ran, they had ferociously reached Li Yuan¡¯s front in an extremely short amount of time.


    Separated by several hundred meters, with Li Yuan¡¯s eyesight, he could even clearly see the minute pores on the faces of these Silver Armored Warriors¡­ aside from the faint trembling of the earth.


    He couldn¡¯t hear any breathing. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Suppress!¡±


    Upon a thought from Li Yuan, his body instantly transformed into five meters tall, followed by subtle air currents that appeared out of nowhere within a hundred meters radius, combining the Mysteries of True Intent of both, after infusing them with Flying Heaven Level Origin Power, the air currents were like a myriad of blades.


    ...


    ¡°Puchi~¡± ¡°Pu!¡± Countless air currents, containing astonishing killing intent, crazily sliced through each Silver Armored Warrior, resulting in some having their arms cut off, bodies torn apart, or heads severed.


    They fell one after another!


    Then, these Silver Armored Warriors¡¯ bodies turned into numerous silver liquids, re-merging into the ground.


    However.


    At the edge of the arena, more silver liquid rose up, recondensing into Silver Armored Warriors and then once again, with howling intensity, charged towards Li Yuan.


    They were like wave after wave, endlessly assaulting Li Yuan.


    ¡°These Silver Armored Warriors, all have the strength of high-level Origin Martial Artists,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°They probably can¡¯t even break through my True Intent Domain.¡±


    In the blink of an eye, over five hundred Silver Armored Warriors had been swept away by Li Yuan.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Second Stratum!¡± A cold voice rang in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, belonging to Qiu Bingzun.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The number of Silver Armored Warriors appearing at the edge of the arena had increased, and their running speed was noticeably faster.


    ¡°Has their strength been generally raised, approaching that of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    However, the increase in strength didn¡¯t make much difference; Li Yuan, relying on his True Intent Domain, was still able to sweep through them, not a single Silver Armored Warrior could get within fifty meters of him.


    ¡°Third Stratum Trial,¡± the cold voice rang out once more.


    ¡°Puchi!¡± ¡°His~¡± The might of the True Intent Domain remained astonishing, able to slaughter each newly formed Silver Armored Warrior, but it was obviously much more strenuous than before.


    ¡°If it were a regular Flying Heaven Martial Artist facing the attack of so many Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, they would either die or get skinned alive,¡± Li Yuan silently said to himself.


    But still, none could approach Li Yuan.


    The last Silver Armored Warrior charged to about twenty meters from Li Yuan, and was still shredded by the True Intent Domain.


    By this time, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t even moved his body, let alone used his weapon.


    ¡°Fourth Stratum Trial!¡±


    With the Fourth Stratum¡¯s Silver Armored Warriors, their strength suddenly surged greatly, the numerous blade-like air currents creating only small wounds on them.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level bodies?¡± A hint of coldness flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, as a weapon emerged in his hand.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan finally made his move, wielding the Black Chen Spear and sweeping it towards the Silver Armored Warriors with a howling attack.


    ¡°Pu!¡± ¡°Peng!¡± ¡°Peng!¡± These Silver Armored Warriors, their killing intent sky-high, surged towards Li Yuan like a tide and were immediately torn to shreds as streaks of Spear Light flashed by.


    One sweep of the spear, and a swath of Silver Armored Warriors fell.


    ¡°Too weak,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, his two strongest Star Techniques had not even been used, since he had to conserve Origin Power; right now, it was purely the Black Chen Spear and skill that erupted.


    Without deploying the Star Techniques, the might of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was comparable to that of the 33rd Rank.


    The Fifth Stratum Trial!


    The Sixth Stratum Trial¡­ Li Yuan was slaughtering at an astonishing speed, not giving these Silver Armored Warriors any chance to pile up.


    ¡­


    Deep within the Mothership, in the far inner regions.


    Here was a huge light screen projection, displaying the scene of Li Yuan undergoing the Ten Layers Trial.


    ¡°Master, what do you think of him?¡± the colossal black Flying Serpent Phantom inquired respectfully: ¡°His speed of slaughter is quite astonishing, having killed up to the Sixth Stratum without even using the Body Refining Star Technique¡­ he certainly has a chance of breaking through all ten trials.¡±


    ¡°The odds are slim,¡± a gentle voice responded: ¡°If he had sufficient Origin Power, he would definitely make it through.¡±


    ¡°But after all, he is an Origin Martial Artist, and there is a limit to his storage of Origin Power. The stronger the Star Technique, the more Origin Power is consumed in battle¡­ Everything has its trade-offs.¡±


    ¡°However, getting past the Ninth Layer should not be difficult,¡± the gentle voice continued: ¡°Then, in the Inner Layer, spending some more time, he will be able to come and see me.¡±


    ¡°At just 20 years old, this Seven Star Civilization shouldn¡¯t be particularly strong, but the way he¡¯s combined the Earth and Wind Mysteries of True Intent to this extent¡­ is very monstrous.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s amazing that despite being only Second Rank, he can cultivate so many powerful Star Techniques; it must be an extraordinary Body Refinement Realm, indicating that his Star Meridian talent is also extremely high, with astonishing potential¡­ Overall, his talent is so great that not a single person from my youth or among my six Divine followers could catch up with him,¡± the gentle voice added.


    ¡°Congratulations, Master, you¡¯ve finally waited for the right candidate,¡± the black Flying Serpent Phantom quickly said with respect.


    ¡°No congratulations yet,¡± came the reply.


    ¡°No matter how monstrous he is, it all depends on his final choice,¡± the gentle voice slowly said: ¡°If he is unwilling, the more monstrous he is, the greater the threat to me.¡±


    ¡°Your subordinate understands,¡± came the affirmation.


    ¡°If he makes the wrong choice, then, it would be best to eliminate him sooner rather than later,¡± the black Flying Serpent Phantom said consecutively.


    ¡°Oh, the Eighth Stratum Trial has begun,¡± it remarked.


    ¡­


    In the Alien God area, the domain of trials.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Those Silver Warriors howled as they emanated a very strong aura, even beginning to invoke the powers of heaven and earth.


    Powerful!


    Each Silver Warrior possessed the fighting power of the Flying Heaven Level, and while Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain surged, it was hardly inflicting much damage on them, serving only to bind and slow their movements, making it difficult for them to encircle him.

 Chapter 560 - 321: Laws Oath!

    Chapter 560: Chapter 321: Law¡¯s Oath! ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°I had already passed the Sixth Layers of trials and was eligible to become a Direct Disciple of the Alien God,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was ice-cold, ¡°But to encounter Flying Heaven Level challenges at just the Eighth Layer of trials? Is it so difficult?¡±


    I am only 20 years old! Logically speaking, the difficulty should be much lower than that of Xue Yan¡¯s trials.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure flickered, transforming into a five-meter-tall giant, with a wild aura dispersing around him; he had finally managed to unleash the mighty Body Refinement Technique, the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯.


    ¡°Pffft!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s speed and strength surged dramatically, his figure becoming ghost-like, with the might of his Spear Technique also jumping from Level 33 directly to Level 35.


    ...


    Not a single Silver Armored Warrior could withstand a spear strike from Li Yuan, and they fell one after another.


    However, the consumption of his Origin Power, which had been quite slow at first, also soared by more than tenfold.


    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill! I must slaughter at the fastest speed,¡± Li Yuan was worried about unforeseen complications arising if things dragged on.


    While unleashing Star Techniques was terrifyingly powerful, compared to a true Flying Heaven Warrior, what Li Yuan lacked was the ¡®Origin Pill¡¯, which was crucial for the recovery speed and storage of Origin Power.


    For this reason, whenever Li Yuan had fought with many Flying Heaven powerhouses in the past, he always aimed for quick and decisive battles.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan, having activated the All Things Divine Body, was truly ferocious, utterly sweeping through these Silver Armored Warriors who were at the Flying Heaven Level.


    During the Ninth Layer of trials, the power of the Silver Armored Warriors did not increase any further, but their skills were noticeably stronger.


    ¡°¡®Nine Shadow Clones¡¯!¡± Without any hesitation, Li Yuan unleashed his trump card,


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Nine Li Yuans flashed in the void, creating nine dazzling threads.


    The rate of slaughter rose again dramatically.


    And the consumption of Origin Power was even more breathtaking.


    ¡°Recover! Recover quickly!¡± The Six Star Pulse within Li Yuan¡¯s body was operating, frantically absorbing the power from the outside world, striving to convert it into his own Origin Power.


    The stronger the Star Meridian, the more Origin Power it could store, and the faster it could recover Origin Power. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­A quarter of an hour later.


    As the last Silver Armored Warrior fell,


    Transforming into a pool of silver liquid and dissipating, Li Yuan snapped out of the intense frenzy of slaughter.


    ¡°Is it over?¡± Li Yuan mused silently; the entire arena had become completely quiet.


    ¡°My Origin Power is less than ten percent remaining?¡± A wave of fear washed over him.


    The Silver Armored Warriors of the last Ninth and Tenth Layers were too formidable, likely nearing Level 32¡­ Luckily, these Silver Armored Warriors seemed to lack intelligence and did not truly join forces.


    Otherwise, Li Yuan feared that even if he exhausted all his Origin Power, he might not be able to eliminate all of them.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    Masses of light converged to form the figure of a stout single-horned shadow, surprise evident in its eyes: ¡°Spirit Gun, you actually made it through? Relying on so many Star Techniques, fighting so fiercely for such a long time, you were able to sustain your Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that you are not Six Star Pulse, but Seven Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked curiously, ¡°Even with Seven Star Veins, it¡¯s not necessarily a given that one could pass through the Tenth Layer of trials.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Seven Star Veins?


    Indeed, he had only Six Star Pulse, yet each was extremely strong, with three being ¡®Perfect Star Veins¡¯. Just considering the recovery speed of Origin Power, he might be comparable to someone with Seven Star Veins.


    The likes of Ancient Torch Divine had Seven Star Veins, but only two were Perfect Star Veins.


    ¡°Elder, does this mean I have passed the trial?¡± inquired Li Yuan.


    ¡°Of course, it does.¡±


    ¡°The Ten Layers of trials left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine were never really anticipated to be directly passed by anyone,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°After all, your civilizations are too weak, barely even capable of birthing Seven Star Veins, let alone a peerless genius.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless; to Qiu Bingzun, even Seven Star Veins did not seem significant.


    But considering the other¡¯s identity, Li Yuan somewhat relented.


    For many civilizations, Seven Star Veins were legendary, and many Demigods might never encounter even one in their lifetimes¡­ because Demigods could only live for a thousand years.


    Whereas Divines could live for five thousand years. With their greater strength and broader horizons, they had greater access than the Demigods¡­ Hence, awakening Seven Star Veins, though an incredibly strong talent to the Divines, was not unattainable.


    ¡°Like that young fellow named Xue Yan, he came close to passing through the Seventh Layer, which was already quite impressive,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°Of course, he is far from your level.¡±


    ¡°In terms of skill, he was not much weaker than you, but his Star Technique was far behind you.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, he is older than you, which made his trials even more difficult,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°Earlier, Yu Jinghe had barely managed to pass through the Sixth Layer of trials.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, realizing that Qiu Bingzun¡¯s attitude had shifted.


    Previously, he would not reveal such information.


    ¡°Before going to the Inner Layer core, you must first accept the Heritage of the Alien God,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. ¡°You have chosen the Wind System Alien God.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun pointed towards a spot not far from the arena, and the surrounding space trembled subtly.


    Whirr~ An abundance of light gathered, solidifying into a figure in a green robe, his expression cold, exuding a mysterious aura that even pressured Li Yuan.


    ¡°Wind System Alien God?¡± Li Yuan inhaled sharply, recognizing the figure at a glance.


    This green-robed Phantom resembled exactly the majestic statue outside.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The green-robed Phantom glanced at Qiu Bingzun, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, then seemingly received some reminder and returned to normal.


    ¡°I am but a Spiritual Imprint left by a Wind System Divine,¡± said the green-robed Phantom to Li Yuan. ¡°According to the Alien God Envoy, you are qualified to become my Direct Disciple and to receive the many treasures I have left behind¡­ But you should be aware that I have perished.¡±


    ¡°In reality, whether I take a Direct Disciple or not is of little significance to me,¡± the green-robed Phantom continued. ¡°I left this heritage as per the Honored Lord¡¯s request and because of my own final wish.¡±

 Chapter 561 - 321: Laws Oath!

    Chapter 561: Chapter 321: Law¡¯s Oath! ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±_3


    Li Yuan was listening.


    In the mouth of the Wind System Alien God, the ¡°Honored Lord¡± was probably the Heavenly Serpent Divine Being.


    ¡°Elder, what are your requirements?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°If you become a named disciple, there are no requirements. I will give you a treasure, and you may choose any one of the Seventh Layer Star Techniques from the ones I¡¯ve left behind,¡± the green-robed phantom said.


    ¡°If you become a named disciple, I will give you a more precious treasure, allowing you to select any one of the Star Techniques I¡¯ve left behind and bestow upon you a ¡®Visualization Method of the Divine Being,''¡± the green-robed phantom said, ¡°However, you must promise that after you become a deity, if you have the opportunity, you must go to my homeland ¡®Frostwind Star¡¯ and find a suitable being to become an Inner Sect Disciple and do your best to teach them to become a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Frostwind Star?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of confusion.


    ...


    What place is that? He had never heard of it!


    Keep in mind, with Li Yuan¡¯s level of access, he had interactions with many of the Foreign Civilizations around the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but he had never heard of Frostwind Star or the Frostwind Star planet.


    ¡°Elder, what if I can¡¯t find Frostwind Star?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°It¡¯s been less than ten thousand years; the possibility of my homeland being obliterated is quite low¡­¡± The green-robed phantom pondered for a moment: ¡°If by then you truly can¡¯t find it, it won¡¯t be considered a breach of your promise.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; this promise was indeed something to consider.


    It was a requirement that he would have to fulfill after becoming a deity, and right now, he was only Second Rank, still very far from becoming a deity.


    Moreover, it wasn¡¯t mandatory.


    ¡°Elder, what about a Direct Disciple?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°If you wish to become a Direct Disciple, you must agree to, after becoming a deity, go to Frostwind Star, protect it for a thousand years, and either produce ten Demigod disciples or cultivate one Divine Being,¡± the green-robed phantom looked at Li Yuan with a hint of expectation, ¡°Then, you will obtain all my residual Star Techniques, a hefty gift, a Visualization Method of the Divine Being, and a ¡®Spiritual Imprint.''¡±


    Upon hearing this,


    Li Yuan finally understood why Qiu Bingzun had reminded him early on to be cautious about wanting to become a Direct Disciple of an Alien God.


    There¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch.


    The condition was too harsh.


    Protect for a thousand years? He had only lived for so long, and a Fifth Order Divine Being could only live for five thousand years.


    As for cultivating a Divine Being? That was even more of a pipe dream. Even if he became powerful in the future, the life on Frostwind Star would need to have extremely high talent¡­ Divine Beings are not that easy to come into existence.


    ¡°Elder, may I see the Star Techniques you¡¯ve left behind?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°You may.¡± The green-robed phantom nodded, waving his hand and forming a light screen phantom beside himself.


    It displayed a series of names and descriptions of Star Techniques.


    ¡°Nine Layers Star Technique,¡± Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±: The first six layers can enhance the cultivator¡¯s compatibility with the Wind Law, one of the strongest in the dimensional rivers¡­


    ¡°Seventh Layer Star Technique,¡± Phantom Body Thousand Lights¡±¡­


    ¡°Seventh Layer Star Technique¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Densely packed with over ten Star Techniques, among them one Nine Layers Star Technique, four Seventh Layer Star Techniques, and the rest were Fifth and Sixth Layers Star Techniques.


    ¡°Nine Layers Star Techniques,¡± Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, immediately noticing this particular Star Technique,


    From its name to the description that followed, Li Yuan immediately judged that this must be the ¡°Supreme Auxiliary Star Technique¡± of the Wind Vein, presumably on the same level as the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.¡±


    This is it!


    Li Yuan already had his heart set on it.


    ¡°Young man, are you willing to become my Direct Disciple?¡± the Wind System Alien God looked at him with anticipation.


    He was aware that Li Yuan had passed the Tenth Layer tests, and such an exceptional genius was hard to come by.


    ¡°Elder, a thousand years is too long,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°I am willing to become your Inner Sect Disciple.¡±


    The treatment for a Direct Disciple was indeed very tempting, but the requirements were too stringent, and after a brief consideration, Li Yuan chose to give it up.


    All the remaining Star Techniques? Only that Supreme Star Technique attracted him.


    Spiritual Imprint? Could it match up to the Martial God Inheritance?


    Significant gift? Could it surpass what the Ancient Torch Divine had left for him?


    If Li Yuan¡¯s talent was lesser, born in a weaker civilization, or if he hadn¡¯t received the Ancient Torch Divine Inheritance¡­ perhaps he would have agreed.


    But with the external cultivation conditions Li Yuan already had, the entire legacy of this Wind System Alien God was just icing on the cake.


    The cost-benefit ratio was just too low.


    ¡°All right.¡± The green-robed phantom¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment,


    But he understood that a supreme genius like Li Yuan would almost certainly not agree to such harsh demands.


    However, he was just a spiritual imprint left by the Wind System Alien God and had to obey the commands left by the Wind System Alien God.


    ¡°Alien God Envoy,¡± the blue-robed phantom looked towards Qiu Bingzun at his side.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, words alone are not proof, you must swear an oath to the great laws of the Dao and make a divine oath,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°Only then will the Alien God believe you.¡±


    ¡°Divine oath?¡± Li Yuan felt puzzled.


    ¡°Powerful cultivators study the Law of the Great Dao, and the Law of the Great Dao has its own primordial will, we are all like children of the Law of the Great Dao¡­¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°To swear an oath to the Law of the Great Dao is to be bound by it.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the prerequisite is that the oath-maker steps into the threshold of the law and lights the divine fire with the Law of the Great Dao¡­ only then will the oath take effect.¡±


    ¡°An ordinary mundane oath is useless,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Like you now, having yet to step into the threshold of the law, there are no constraints¡­ but if one day you become a divine being, you will naturally feel the constraints in the unseen.¡±


    ¡°If you go against your true intent and don¡¯t fulfill it, you will naturally suffer from the backlash of the oath,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained.


    Li Yuan suddenly realized that there was such a method.


    However, according to Elder Qiu, it seemed that only a divine being making a divine oath would be bound.


    ¡°This is your oath,¡± Qiu Bingzun waved his hand, and a screen of light coalesced around Li Yuan¡¯s form, displaying many strange characters.


    To Li Yuan¡¯s surprise, although he did not recognize these characters, he could understand their meaning without hindrance.


    ¡°This is the ¡®Heaven and Earth Script,¡¯ originating from the mysteries of heaven and earth, anyone who has reached the level of true intent in their comprehension of heaven and earth can understand it,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained, ¡°In the vast dimensions of the river of time, the script of Star Civilization is the universal language.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    After reviewing the oath twice and confirming there were no errors, Li Yuan immediately spoke out, ¡°I, with the Law of the Great Dao as my witness, swear that if I become an Inner Disciple of the Ancient Serpent Divine and receive the promised treasures, once I become a divine being in the future¡­¡±


    The oath was established.


    But Li Yuan did not feel any change in himself, yet the blue-robed phantom already revealed a smile.


    ¡°The oath is complete, and when you step into the threshold of the law in the future, you will feel the response,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, and then lightly bowed to the blue-robed figure, ¡°Teacher.¡±


    ¡°No need for formalities,¡± the blue-robed phantom shook his head, ¡°Firstly, I am not truly the Ancient Serpent Divine, and secondly, this is essentially a transaction, merely a nominal mentor-apprentice relationship.¡± sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I can only wish you success in lighting the divine fire and achieving divinity in the future,¡± the blue-robed phantom said, his eyes complex as he looked at Li Yuan.


    Suddenly, his figure thunderously dissipated.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°He left?¡± Li Yuan was stunned, the gifts hadn¡¯t been given to him yet!!


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the treasure will be passed on to you by me,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°As an Inner Sect Disciple, the gift bestowed to you is a Ten Directions Five Elements Divine Crystal.¡±


    ¡°Ten Directions?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, that would be worth a million Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°In addition, you have just witnessed the Star Technique of the Wind System Alien God, which one do you want?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked.


    ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation,¡± Li Yuan said without hesitation.


    ¡°That¡¯s a Ninth Layer Star Technique, and it¡¯s just a supplementary Star Technique,¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, ¡°You have already cultivated the Supreme Body Refining Star Technique, and your talent in the Earth Vein should be even higher, fully capable of cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.''¡±


    ¡°This ¡®Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡¯ won¡¯t be as effective as other Sixth Layer Star Techniques if you can¡¯t cultivate it to a high level of proficiency. Are you sure you still want it?¡± Qiu Bingzun couldn¡¯t help but advise.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Other powerful practitioners might worry about insufficient strength in their star meridians, but he was not afraid; compared to the combat power provided by the Slaughter Star Technique, these types of supportive Star Techniques were far more important.


    Without the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡¯ he couldn¡¯t possibly have progressed so quickly in the Earth Vein.


    ¡°Okay,¡± seeing Li Yuan¡¯s determination, Qiu Bingzun no longer advised and waved his hand, which brought forth a thin storage treasure.


    It flew towards Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan extended his hand to receive it, sensing with his divine sense, the storage treasure had not been bounded yet, and the inner space was not large.


    Aside from the neatly arranged Ten Directions Five Elements Divine Crystals, there were two orbs emitting mysterious fluctuations.


    ¡°Divine Visualization Method? Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan sensed briefly, confirmed they were correct, and felt joy in his heart.


    The extra Divine Visualization Method, upon return, he could also find a way to exchange them for other cultivation necessities.


    One could say,


    that his total gain from this trip was immense.


    ¡°Do you wish to go to the Inner Core Realm now or later?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked.


    ¡°Is there any difference?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Not much of a difference,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°The Inner Core Realm is left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine, your talent and strength are sufficiently fiendish, there will be no further tests¡­ I only remind you, it¡¯s still a matter of choice.¡±


    ¡°If you want to gain something, you have to give something in return,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan.

 Chapter 562 - 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)

    Chapter 562: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)


    To obtain what he desired, a price had to be paid? Li Yuan pondered deeply.


    The Heavenly Serpent Divine had paid such a great price, especially by bringing this mothership, there must be some scheming involved.


    There¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, especially from those who are neither family nor friends.


    ¡°To go or not to go?¡± A flicker of hesitation crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    He quickly weighed his options.


    Having barely made it through the ten trials of the Heavenly Serpent Divine, when push came to shove, how could he just give up?


    ...


    If the Heavenly Serpent Divine truly wanted to force him to do something, he was already inside the mothership, and just by the means the other party had shown, he was completely powerless to resist, there was no need to offer him a choice.


    This meant that whatever the Heavenly Serpent Divine had left behind wasn¡¯t that malicious, at least it wasn¡¯t purely malicious.


    The most critical point was that Xue Yan and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡­ both had already entered the inner layer, and might enter the core area at any moment.


    Especially Xue Yan.


    According to Elder Qiu¡¯s words just now, his level of skill should have already reached ¡®Sixth Stage High Rank¡¯, which was a terrifying level of skill for a Prime Warrior, so it was no wonder he could become a disciple of the Divine.


    Such a genius, letting him attempt the challenge¡­ Li Yuan had a feeling that the Heavenly Serpent Divine might be no weaker than the Ancient Torch Divine, and could even be stronger.


    Such a treasure left by a powerful Divine Being.


    It could completely change the power dynamics between different civilizations.


    If it fell into the hands of the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Seven Star Civilization would face even greater pressure in the future.


    ¡°There¡¯s danger, but it¡¯s also an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°I received the inheritance of the Ancient Torch Divine, which allowed me to make rapid progress and grow quickly,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If I can get a share of the Heavenly Serpent Divine¡¯s treasure, it will help me grow even faster.¡± S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The path of cultivation should be steady above all.


    Therefore, before venturing out into the Star Realms, Li Yuan always strove to reach the peak of his strength.


    But when it¡¯s time to fight, you have to fight.


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Elder Xie Qiu.¡± Having made up his mind, Li Yuan said respectfully, ¡°If there¡¯s no difference between going sooner or later, then I might as well go now.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°You chose this path yourself,¡± Elder Qiu revealed a slight smile, ¡°I have warned you several times¡­ in the future, don¡¯t come blaming me.¡±


    Before Li Yuan could speak again.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Elder Qiu¡¯s hand, an invisible force emerged out of thin air, directly enveloping Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan felt a thunderous roar in his head, swept by a terrifying force he couldn¡¯t resist; even with his Spiritual Will, he couldn¡¯t block this force¡¯s invasion¡­ In an instant, he fell into unconsciousness.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan¡¯s body vanished into thin air.


    Only the towering Phantom with a single horn remained in the hall.


    ¡°The first plan has failed.¡±


    ¡°Originally, the plan was to temporarily choose Xue Yan, who was barely acceptable as a replacement.¡± Elder Qiu murmured to himself, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to be directly presented with such an extraordinary genius, even in the vast Divine Realm, geniuses like this are very rare.¡±


    ¡°We can start on the second plan.¡±


    ¡°It seems as if the heavens themselves are blessing our Heavenly Serpent clan,¡± Elder Qiu thought to himself, ¡°Spirit Gun? Li Yuan? I hope, with my help, you won¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    ¡°Go and grasp that slim hope.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, Bright Moon Base.


    While Li Yuan was venturing inside the mothership.


    Tavares, Jiang Zai, Luo Chan, and the others had already retreated back to Bright Moon Base.


    As time passed day by day, with no news coming from the mothership, many True Intent Martial Artists were leaving¡­ After all, these Martial Artists each had their own cultivation plans and couldn¡¯t wait forever in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Of course, under the higher-ups¡¯ coordination, Bright Moon Base still maintained formidable combat strength.


    Inside one of the Fourth-order Battleships, within a super-large conference room, on one side, two special instruments were placed, exuding an invisible force, and two blood-red Crystal Stones floated in the middle, supported by the instruments.


    These were Life Crystals, representing the Marks of life for Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan respectively.


    The state of the Life Crystals could be used to judge their life and death.


    In this conference room, Martial Artists would take turns guarding the Life Crystals, watching over them at all times.


    Suddenly.


    One of the blood-red Crystal Stones suddenly erupted in a burst of light, the brilliance was so intense that it almost covered the entire super-large conference room, and then as the light receded, it quickly dimmed, turning the Crystal Stone completely ¡®white¡¯.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This!¡± The two Martial Artists guarding that day, seeing this scene, were utterly shocked.


    They looked at each other with horror in their eyes, ¡°It¡¯s Spirit Gun¡¯s Life Crystal.¡±


    ¡°The Life Crystal has dimmed!¡±


    Without any hesitation, the two Martial Artists immediately initiated emergency communication, and soon Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan rushed over.


    The three of them were the current leaders at Bright Moon Base.


    When they saw the dimmed Life Crystal, their hearts trembled, fully aware of what it meant.


    A dimmed Life Crystal indicated the death of its host.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, dead? Fallen in the Divine Land?¡± Tavares¡¯s heart shook, ¡°How is that possible, how could the powerful Spirit Gun die?¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Demigod just recently messaging that Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was likely killed by Spirit Gun?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t believe his eyes.


    In his heart, even the Three Great Beast Emperors together might not be able to kill Li Yuan.


    Jiang Zai was equally breathless, he knew full well the significance of Spirit Gun¡­ If Spirit Gun had fallen and the other two Beast Emperors were still alive, it likely meant that Bright Moon Base couldn¡¯t be held in the future.


    Of the three.


    Luo Chan was the most shocked, ¡°Li Yuan is dead?¡±


    She alone knew that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Moments later, this explosive news had already been transmitted back to the highest echelons of the Seven Star Civilization by Tavares and the others.

 Chapter 563 - 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)_2

    Chapter 563: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)_2


    ¡°The Life Crystal is dimming?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is dead?¡± San Ye Semi Divine, Bai Shan Semi Divine, and Fang Hai, the three high-ranking officials in charge of the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm, were almost dumbfounded when they received this news.


    The three immediately convened a meeting in the virtual network.


    ¡°What happened? How could Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal suddenly dim?¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Could it be that the Life Crystal is damaged?¡±


    ¡°That is a treasure bestowed by the Alliance Hierarch.¡± San Ye Semi Divine shook his head, ¡°Even separated by hundreds of millions of miles, located on different planets, it can accurately judge life and death¡­ unless one is in a different spatial world, but Li Yuan and the Life Crystal are currently both within the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ...


    ¡°As for the Life Crystal being damaged? In the past few decades, the Life Crystal has never broken.¡±


    As the chief steward of the Starfire Martial Hall, San Ye Semi Divine was quite familiar with the properties of these treasures.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask my teacher.¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t sit still any longer; he couldn¡¯t believe that Li Yuan would die within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai¡¯s virtual figure disappeared instantly, obviously having gone to inquire from Dongfang Ji¡­ Soon after, his consciousness descended into the virtual world again, his expression looking very grim.


    San Ye Semi Divine and Fang Hai exchanged glances, their hearts sinking, both understanding the outcome.


    ¡°The teacher said.¡±


    ¡°Unless Li Yuan suddenly left the Mingxu Star Realm, the Life Crystal would not show his fall.¡± Fang Hai said in a low voice, ¡°There is one exception, in that Divine Land, there are some extremely special and secretive places that can block the Life Crystal¡¯s sensing abilities.¡±


    ¡°Once the Life Crystal cannot sense the existence of its host, it will decide the host has fallen, and naturally, it will become dim.¡±


    Both Semi-Divines¡¯ hearts rose with a thread of hope once again.


    ¡°It¡¯s just.¡±


    ¡°According to the teacher¡¯s meaning, such secretive places, even the usual Divine beings cannot open them up, like our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Seven Great Planets, none have places that can block the sensing of the Life Crystal.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the probability of having such a place is very, very small.¡±


    Both Semi-Divines fell into the abyss of despair once again.


    This statement was almost a death sentence for Li Yuan!


    ¡°Did the Alliance Hierarch say what we should do now?¡± San Ye Semi Divine couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Wait!¡± Fang Hai said solemnly, ¡°For now, Yu Jinghe is not dead, Xue Yan is still alive, the two Beast Emperors should still be alive as well¡­ All this is enough to prove that the so-called Divine Land is not a death ground for outsiders.¡±


    ¡°We can only assume that Li Yuan has fallen into some extremely dangerous and mysterious place.¡±


    ¡°But as long as he is alive, he will eventually come out.¡± Fang Hai said in a low voice.


    San Ye Semi Divine and Bai Shan Semi Divine fell silent.


    Wait? What an excruciating process.


    ¡­


    At the Bright Moon Base, inside a Fourth-order Battleship.


    A light screen projection emerged, showing a figure in white robes.


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi Divine.¡± Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan greeted him with great respect.


    ¡°The news of the Spirit Gun¡¯s death cannot be fully confirmed yet, our high-level executives also do not believe that the Spirit Gun would just die like that.¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine said in a grave voice, ¡°The three of you must also strictly keep this a secret, and must not let it leak out.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The three said in unison, all aware of the seriousness of the matter.


    Once it spread, it would most likely cause panic.


    ¡°You all must be prepared to retreat at any moment.¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine said seriously, then his gaze rested on Tavares and Jiang Zai, ¡°Tavares, Jiang Zai, treasures are being assembled at the fastest speed from the Alliance treasury to elevate your training to a higher level¡­¡±


    ¡°Once we make a significant retreat.¡±


    ¡°You will need to lead the other Flying Heaven Warriors to flee within the Mingxu Star Realm, trying to hold out within the Mingxu Star Realm until you have the strength to resist the Beast Emperors.¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine said with a light sigh.


    ¡°Understood.¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai responded solemnly.


    Having chosen to break through to Flying Heaven Warrior within the Mingxu Star Realm, they had naturally prepared for the worst-case scenario.


    In the event of a major retreat, individuals like Luo Chan and An Yongya, True Intent Prime Warriors, could evacuate along the Star Realm¡¯s pathways.


    But for those like them, who had already broken through to Flying Heaven Warrior, they would have to remain within the Star Realm.


    If it came to that, they would have to choose between a desperate fight or fleeing like the current Flying Heaven Beast King, hiding and struggling within the Star Realm, waiting to accumulate enough power before counterattacking.

    In Blue Star Xia Country¡¯s Jiangnan Province.


    Within the nearly imperceptible Ancient Divine Palace, a young girl in white clothes who had been leisurely waiting for Li Yuan¡¯s return.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Gu Youyin sensed something, suddenly looked up, a trace of surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.


    Whoosh! Her figure disappeared from the main hall in an instant.


    Following that, she appeared in another hall.


    The hall was empty, except for a Glazed Antique Lamp suspended in the void, emitting a strange light. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At this moment, the light from the lamp flickered dimly.


    ¡°The Spiritual Lamp¡¯s flame is flickering?¡± The girl¡¯s eyes filled with worry, ¡°Li Yuan, what happened to you in that Star Realm? You¡¯d better not die in there.¡±


    The Spiritual Lamp was a treasure far more superior than the Life Crystal.


    Through the condition of the Spiritual Lamp, the girl could infer that Li Yuan probably faced significant trouble.


    Previously, she had said she did not care about Li Yuan¡¯s life or death, but now at this moment, she was also extremely anxious.


    However, if it were in a normal Dimensional Plane, she could go for Inquiry and even rescue, but in an Exterior Dimensional Star Realm? She did not dare enter.


    ¡­


    One day, two days, ten days, a month¡­ time quietly passed.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal still did not light up again.


    Yu Jinghe¡¯s Life Crystal, however, continued as normal, and this contrast slowly extinguished the flame of hope in the hearts of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s high-ranking officials.


    After forty days had passed, even those like Bai Shan Semi Divine and Fang Hai, who held great hope for Li Yuan, began to waver in their convictions.


    The only thing that still gave them a glimmer of hope was that Yu Jinghe and individuals from the Myriad Demons Civilization like Xue Yan also had not left the ¡®Divine Land¡¯.

    Chapter 564: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)_3


    The two Beast Emperors that seemed to still be alive also didn¡¯t emerge.


    These situations made the already mysterious Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s ¡®Divine Land¡¯ seem even more elusive and puzzling.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    The Tianliang Civilization, Seven Star Civilization, and the Mingxu Beast Clan, these three forces, all dared not make any rash moves.


    Both civilizations were entrenched in their only base.


    The Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan didn¡¯t dare to show themselves either, all hiding away, which actually led to a delicate balance within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ...


    ¡­


    In Xia Country¡¯s Jiangbei City, at the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s South Lake District, late into the night.


    Inside the villa.


    ¡°Changzhou, Li Yuan won¡¯t encounter any trouble, will he?¡± Chen Hui lay in bed, growing more and more uneasy: ¡°Even when he was busy cultivating in Feixing, he would occasionally send us messages, to reassure us.¡±


    ¡°How come there¡¯s not been a single message for more than a month?¡± Chen Hui¡¯s voice was full of worry.


    Previously.


    Even when following Lie Feng Semi Divine for a year of cultivation, Li Yuan, aside from his diligent training, would usually send some messages home every half a month using his Flying Heaven Level privileges from Feixing.


    To put his uncle and aunt¡¯s minds at ease.


    Over a month without a single message? Not even replying to the numerous messages from Li Changzhou and Chen Hui¡­ It was the first time.


    ¡°It is a bit strange.¡±


    The usually composed Li Changzhou was also getting restless, touching his wife¡¯s hand and saying, ¡°But don¡¯t worry too much, you know Li Yuan¡¯s situation well. Isn¡¯t he Xia Country¡¯s top martial path talent of all time? Didn¡¯t he tell us last time that he is already a top-grade Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°For a powerful martial artist like him to practice and travel for several months at a time is quite normal,¡± said Li Changzhou.


    ¡°But he should at least send back some messages,¡± expressed Chen Hui anxiously.


    ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll contact Lord Yang of the Province tomorrow,¡± Li Changzhou consoled his wife.


    Since Li Yuan entered the Martial Divine Star Realm his privileges had increased.


    As Li Yuan¡¯s family, Li Changzhou and the others had the right to directly contact the ¡®Lord Yang of the Province¡¯ of the Starfire Jiangbei branch.


    ¡­


    Feixing, a mysterious place not far from the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal has dimmed, it¡¯s been over 40 days,¡± a deep voice said: ¡°I¡¯m worried, has he really fallen¡­ On the other hand, as a member of the Martial Divine Star Realm, and including the time he spent in quiet cultivation before, he has now completely disappeared for over two months.¡±


    ¡°Now, many people are speculating about where Li Yuan has gone,¡± the deep voice said: ¡°Although Duanmu Hong has issued an order, it has temporarily suppressed many guesses.¡±


    ¡°But if this continues, three months, six months¡­ this news will sooner or later become impossible to conceal.¡±


    ¡°Such a young talent cannot be absent forever,¡± stated the deep voice.


    Now, the name ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ had spread across many Foreign Civilizations, attracting great attention from the younger generation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But civilizations like the Myriad Demons Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, and Immortal Ruins Civilization, were all still very concerned about Li Yuan.


    After all, compared to ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ Li Yuan is much younger and his potential is incredibly astonishing.


    ¡°Keep a close watch on Xue Yan, Yu Jinghe, and others. As soon as they emerge, be sure to find out as quickly as possible what¡¯s happening within the Divine Land,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said: ¡°I want to know, which divine entity orchestrated the placement of this mothership.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the deep voice responded.


    The mysterious space once again settled into silence.


    But Dongfang Ji¡¯s heart could not be completely at ease.


    ¡°So much time has passed without any message, could it be, Li Yuan is truly dead?¡± Dongfang Ji pondered with a heavy heart.


    Before Li Yuan appeared, he had great expectations for Fang Hai, believing Fang Hai could surpass Lant in the future to become the top-grade Demigod of the Seven Star Civilization.


    And even become a Divine entity to take over his own burden.


    Then, Li Yuan appeared.


    After initially grasping Li Yuan¡¯s talent, Dongfang Ji was quite interested, and only after a little more than a year, Li Yuan¡¯s growth rate was beyond imagination¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s strength was not yet equivalent to Fang Hai¡¯s.


    But in his heart, the significance of Li Yuan had long surpassed Fang Hai¡¯s, even believing Li Yuan might one day surpass himself.


    But now?


    ¡°I hope he can survive,¡± Dongfang Ji sighed internally, having seen many talented individuals fall before.


    Dongfang Ji understood, once Li Yuan died, for the Seven Star Civilization to birth another monstrous talent would perhaps take thousands of years.


    What a pity.


    Even someone as strong as Dongfang Ji, faced with the Mingxu Star Realm, could only wait.


    ¡­


    While the outside world was noisy and turbulent with undercurrents swirling,


    The inside of the mothership was comparatively peaceful, with no further major conflicts erupting.


    In the Inner Layer, Yu Jinghe, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, the three were each in a special passage, desperately cultivating in hopes of entering the Inner Core Realm. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Only Li Yuan.


    In the trial grounds of the Alien God region, he had been struck by that invisible force and subsequently lost consciousness.


    Li Yuan felt as though he had had a very long dream, the longest dream he had ever had in his life¡­ as if he had been asleep for a very, very long time.


    Finally!


    ¡°Huh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness suddenly cleared, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and shortly after, he opened his eyes.


    Bolting upright, he instinctively looked around.


    This was an incredibly vast hall, with ten majestic pillars supporting the hall, each shining with a metallic glow, each pillar¡¯s height probably exceeding ten kilometers.


    On the pillars were carved spiraling flying serpents, akin to coiling dragons.


    At the four corners of the hall was emptiness, and vaguely, invisible forces obstructed Li Yuan¡¯s line of sight.


    This expansive hall seemed as though it was suspended above the void.


    ¡°Me?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze withdrew, belatedly realizing that he was sitting on a massive Jade Platform in the center of the hall.

    Chapter 565: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)_4


    That is to say, he had been lying down all this time.


    ¡°What happened to me?¡± Li Yuan was initially somewhat perplexed.


    With his powerful spiritual consciousness, he was very sensitive to the passage of time; he hadn¡¯t noticed it while he was asleep, but now he quickly distinguished it.


    This made Li Yuan realize, ¡°I¡¯ve been asleep for forty-six days?¡±


    He had never slept that long in one go before.


    ¡°Is this the Inner Core Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was wary, ¡°Why did I sleep for so long? What¡¯s the situation outside?¡±


    Suddenly, a look of shock crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    ...


    ¡°The Wind Fluctuations in the world around me¡­¡± Li Yuan noticed changes in himself, with the clarity of his sensitivity to the Mystery of the Wind likely being several times stronger than before.


    Even the mysterious fluctuations of other Laws of the Great Dao now seemed much clearer to him.


    It was as if, during the time he had been asleep, Li Yuan¡¯s talents had undergone another Transformation.


    ¡°You finally woke up.¡± A familiar voice suddenly echoed in the hall.


    Whoosh~Whoosh!


    Streams of light converged to form two Phantoms, both of which were figures Li Yuan had seen before.


    One Phantom was the Black Snake Phantom, the training officer, who now seemed to be just like a follower.


    The other was a burly humanoid figure, with a single horn and clad in thick Combat Armor¡ªit was the ¡®Alien God Envoy¡¯ Qiu Bingzun. Only now, the aura he emitted was vigorous and fierce, and he seemed almost real, much stronger than before.


    Just standing there, Qiu Bingzun made Li Yuan¡¯s heart tremble.


    ¡°Elder Qiu?¡± Li Yuan got up from the Jade Platform, unable to help asking, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Little fellow.¡± The Black Snake Phantom laughed, ¡°Why call him Elder anymore? You should address him as the respected, the great ¡®Respected One¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Respected One?¡± A shock went through Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°In my Heavenly Serpent race, only the most exalted beings are worthy of being called Respected Ones.¡± The Black Snake Phantom solemnly said, ¡°Even in the Divine Realm¡¯s Heavenly Serpent Temple, the Respected Ones have the privilege of leaving their names behind.¡±


    Listening, Li Yuan was bewildered and couldn¡¯t help but look toward the burly figure with the horn.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan realized.


    No wonder some things had felt odd before. As an Alien God Envoy, why did he repeatedly remind me to be wary of the Heritage? Shouldn¡¯t he logically be tempting me into accepting the Alien God¡¯s Heritage, the treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine?


    Qiu Bingzun, the Respected One.


    So that was how it was.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, you are not mistaken.¡± Qiu Bingzun stepped forward, smiled, and came in front of Li Yuan, ¡°I am indeed the master of this Mothership, and also the Heavenly Serpent Divine ¡®Qiu Bingzun¡¯ you speak of.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to call me Respected One, just continue to refer to me as Elder Qiu.¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Elder Qiu.¡± Li Yuan gave a wry smile.


    ¡°You must have many questions in your heart, don¡¯t be anxious, I will explain them to you gradually.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled, ¡°Since I chose you, naturally I will not hide anything from you.¡±


    ¡°How do you feel now that you¡¯ve integrated the Sacred Artifact ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯?¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled.


    Startled by these words, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The changes in my body, are they because I¡¯ve integrated this artifact?¡±


    ¡°Sacred Artifacts, even to Respected Ones, are precious treasures.¡± The Black Snake Phantom said, ¡°You¡¯ve been asleep for so many days because you were Refining and integrating the artifact.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, your body is formidable; you succeeded in Refinement in just over forty days. The Respected One and I thought it would take at least half a year.¡± The Black Snake Phantom said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Spirit of the Heavenly Wind is of great use even to Divine beings,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, ¡°And for those below the level of Divine beings, its greatest effect is akin to modifying your body and bloodline, greatly increasing your affinity with the Wind Law¡­ it works best with Second Rank and Third Rank life forms.¡±


    ¡°For Demigods, their bodies are too strong, so the effect would be much less.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled, ¡°This is also why I only select Second Rank and Third Order Life.¡±

 Chapter 566 - 323 Mortal Domain, Divine Realm, Heavenly Divine (Extra 36)

    Chapter 566: Chapter 323 Mortal Domain, Divine Realm, Heavenly Divine (Extra 36)


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was shocked as he listened.


    He had never heard of such a treasure before.


    Until now, the only things he knew that could enhance Law Compatibility were auxiliary Star Techniques for cultivation, such as ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±, and these required extremely high demands on the Star Meridian, which were very stringent.


    ¡°Kid, it¡¯s your luck to have obtained the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind in this barren Mortal Domain,¡± the Black Snake Phantom said with a smile. ¡°Only a Hierarch could bring it out. Ordinary True Gods wouldn¡¯t even hope to have it.¡±


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished. A True God?


    According to what Gu You had said before, a Fifth Order Divine Being could only be considered a Pseudo-God.


    ...


    Looking at it now, the Heavenly Serpent Divine ¡®Qiu Bingzun¡¯ must be a very strong existence even among True Gods.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also remembered the term ¡®Mortal Domain¡¯. Was this referring to the Dimensional Domain he was in?


    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to his exaggeration,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°Such origin treasures like Spirit of the Heavenly Wind are indeed good, but some super beings in the vast Divine Realm can still take them out. Yet when they cultivate their disciples, not every one of them can become a True God. Even igniting the Divine Fire is difficult for some.¡±


    ¡°External things are only an aid.¡±


    ¡°Just like the Heaven Snake, True Phoenix, and Divine Dragon clans, they are destined to become gods by nature. But so what? Most can only ignite the Divine Fire.¡±


    ¡°Whereas the Human Race, spread across all domains and being mostly frail at birth, has continuously given birth to super beings that shakes the Divine Realm over the long years.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Divine shook his head. ¡°Now, Humans have the most dominant presences in the Divine Realm.¡±


    The Divine Realm? Li Yuan held his breath.


    This was not the first time he had heard this term.


    ¡°Ultimately, it depends on the individual,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°The Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, or your future cultivation of the ¡®Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡¯, can greatly speed up your cultivation rate, but the many bottlenecks on the path to becoming a god¡­ it still depends on your spirit.¡±


    ¡°Law Compatibility is a part of the talent for Enlightenment, but it¡¯s not everything,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°It can only be said that it increases the probability of you becoming a strong being, allowing you to walk the path of the strong faster and more steadily.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    These were the experience summaries of an extremely powerful being.


    But Li Yuan also understood that their perspectives were different.


    To Qiu Bingzun, perhaps achieving Demigod or Fifth Order Divine Being was nothing.


    But for himself, for the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    If they could give birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being, that would be a tremendous event, enough to change the fate of the entire civilization.


    ¡°In any case.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Elder, for this treasure,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully. ¡°May I know what you want me to do?¡±


    From his previous interactions with Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan was clear that the other party was likely not choosing a Successor.


    Otherwise, it would not have been so much trouble.


    ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you slowly,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°Have you heard of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains?¡±


    A hint of confusion appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes. What was that?


    ¡°How about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked again.


    A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, and after hesitating, he nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve heard an elder in my clan mention it once. It seems to be a mysterious place within the Dimensional Domain that only Demigods are qualified to explore.¡±


    His teacher Lie Feng had mentioned it once.


    Back then, Lie Feng and the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji met in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.


    ¡°Hmm, it seems your civilization is quite powerful indeed. That makes sense, you managed to cultivate powerful Body Refinement Techniques, and your civilization has quite a few Fourth-order Battleships¡­ It should have given birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan did not speak.


    Divine Beings? His civilization did not have any¡­ but the Alliance Hierarch could bring out treasures that were probably stronger than many Fifth Order Divine Beings.


    Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°You must have guessed that I am not a creature from your Mortal Domain, but rather from the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Elder,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°What exactly are the ¡®Mortal Domain¡¯ and ¡®Divine Realm¡¯?¡±


    ¡°The universe is vast, and the heaven and earth revolve, filled with countless unknowns. The Divine Realm and the Mortal Domain are both part of the Dimensional River, belonging to a Starry Sky,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with enigmatic colors in his eyes. ¡°The so-called Divine Realm is essentially an extremely vast and expansive ¡®super Dimensional Domain¡¯ where Origin Power is rich, filled with countless Life Planets¡­ Over billions of years, it has developed dazzling Origin Power technology and given birth to many powerful Divine beings.¡±


    ¡°Gods compete for supremacy, numerous clans strive for dominance, and many powerful sects, kingdoms, and civilizations rise, while others are destroyed, among them some that had given birth to Heavenly Divines, great realms and civilizations have been annihilated,¡± a touch of melancholy flashed in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes.


    Li Yuan was also shocked, taking a deep breath.


    Goodness! The outside world was so vast and expansive, just hearing about it made one¡¯s blood boil with excitement.


    ¡°The Divine Realm is the core of this vast Starry Sky, the essence, the prime region,¡± Qiu Bingzun continued. ¡°While the Dimensional Domain you are in is an ¡®ordinary Dimensional Domain¡¯ that is part of the operation of the Divine Realm, it also has a vast Source operating inside it, maintaining the stability of the entire Dimensional Domain.¡±


    ¡°However, ordinary Dimensional Domains are too weak compared to the Divine Realm, usually having far fewer resources and treasures, and produce fewer Divine Beings. The places where Mortal lives reside, hence they are also called ¡®Mortal Domains¡¯,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained.


    Li Yuan finally understood.


    The so-called Mortal Domain and Divine Realm, in essence, don¡¯t differ fundamentally, it¡¯s just a matter of strength.


    ¡°Of course, under the operation of a common Dimensional Domain¡¯s origin, to maintain stability, over the course of evolution, there is often a gradual formation of barriers between planes. Different planes are protected by the laws of heaven and earth, making it difficult for the divines within the domain to traverse the starry sky and reach different dimensional planes.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, the majority of divines will follow the guidance of the origin of the Dimensional Domain and head towards the Divine Realm.¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, ¡°A vast number of Mortal Domains revolve around the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°With a large congregation of divines, plus those born within the Divine Realm itself¡­ naturally, the Divine Realm is filled with wonders.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, this did remind him of a term¡ªascension.


    But it seemed not quite the same.


    ¡°Elder, are there many divines within the Divine Realm?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Many! If there weren¡¯t many divines, could it be called the Divine Realm?¡± Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, ¡°But in some sense, not many either.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°Kid.¡± The Black Snake Phantom beside them laughed, ¡°There indeed is a large number of divines, but that¡¯s the total number¡­ The Divine Realm is vast and boundless, with countless stars and lives incalculable. Just like in your lesser civilizations, divines often serve as the leaders of a civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, even a Fifth Order Divine Being could easily rule a Life Planet, mastering the life and death of billions.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    Even in the Divine Realm, a Fifth Rank Divine Being was a very strong existence.


    It was just that the Divine Realm was so vast that it made ordinary divines seem insignificant.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why would those divines want to go to the Divine Realm?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Could it be that the operation of the laws of heaven and earth forces divines to go to the Divine Realm?¡±


    Staying in the Mortal Domain, as a leader of a civilization, one could live freely and at ease.


    ¡°That won¡¯t be forced.¡±


    ¡°However, under the operation of the Dimensional Domain¡¯s origin, it is not keen on the emergence of extremely powerful divines. The stronger one¡¯s essence, the more they will face the invisible suppression of the origin,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained, ¡°Just like you now, you can venture through numerous Second Level and Third Level Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°But what about the divines? Fifth Level Star Domains are quite rare,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°Being a leader of a civilization might be exciting at first, especially when friends and loved ones are possibly still around.¡±


    ¡°But what about after five hundred years? A thousand years? Two thousand years?¡± Qiu Bingzun said with some emotion, ¡°A life without purpose is very boring, being trapped in a single Dimensional Plane is like being in a cage, and former friends and loved ones pass away one after another, scarcely leaving behind any attachment¡­ When you look around, all you see are your juniors and descendants.¡±


    ¡°Can you imagine what that kind of life is like?¡± Qiu Bingzun looked towards Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was silent.


    ¡°The most crucial thing is lifespan,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Demigods live for a thousand years.¡±


    ¡°At Fifth Rank, igniting Divine Fire, they become Pseudo-Gods, living for five thousand years.¡±


    ¡°At Sixth Rank, they begin to solidify their Divine Heart, becoming True Gods, with a lifespan of thirty thousand years.¡±


    ¡°And at Seventh Rank, refining their Divine Nature, they become Heavenly Divines, living for three hundred thousand years!¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke softly.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Pseudo-Gods, True Gods, Heavenly Divines?¡± Li Yuan finally understood the divisions among the divines.


    Li Yuan was also shocked by the lifespans of True Gods and Heavenly Divines.


    Three hundred thousand years? What an unfathomably long time!


    ¡°Pseudo-Gods and True Gods, not fast enough to fly, still need to use technological means to roam the cosmos, making use of Star Gates for passage; but Heavenly Divines, on their own, can traverse the cosmic space, shattering planets without effort.¡±


    ¡°In the eyes of the Divine Realm, they are all peak powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°With the long lifespans and formidable powers, Heavenly Divines fear almost no natural dangers and have the capability to explore various civilizations, in pursuit of the ultimate mysteries between heaven and earth.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled at Li Yuan, ¡°If you were in their shoes, having lived for over a thousand years, would you be willing to die of old age within a Dimensional Plane, or would you prefer to head towards the splendid and boundless Divine Realm?¡± sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan held his breath again.


    Indeed! For many divines who have lived for over a thousand years, what pleasures have they not experienced?


    To seek eternal life, to obtain more powerful treasures and cultivation methods, it is unlikely anyone would choose to stay in their native civilization.


    ¡°Elder Qiu.¡±


    ¡°Then why did you come from the Divine Realm to our Dimensional Domain? As far as I know, it seems that more than one divine descended a ten thousand years ago,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Is there something in our Dimensional Domain worth competing for, a priceless treasure perhaps?¡±


    Through communicating with Qiu Bingzun.


    Li Yuan had basically confirmed that the Ancient Torch Divine likely also came from the Divine Realm.


    ¡°You seem to know a lot, and you¡¯re not wrong in your guess,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke slowly, ¡°Normally, Mortal Domains are very poor in resources and treasures, but your Dimensional Domain is an exception.¡±


    ¡°Ten thousand years ago.¡±


    ¡°I led my many divines, at great cost, with this Divine Class Mothership, to descend painfully into this Dimensional Domain¡­ I wasn¡¯t the only one, many divines from the Divine Realm descended at that time.¡±


    ¡°And many native divines of your Dimensional Domain also joined the battle.¡±


    ¡°It was a earth-shattering skirmish.¡±


    ¡°All for the treasure within the ¡®Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯.¡±

    ¡°This is indeed the case,¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded. ¡°You should have something with you that can confirm whether you are alive or dead, but from the moment you entered the inner layer of the core, all external sensing was cut off.¡±


    ¡°Unless it¡¯s that kind of ¡®Soul Sensing Artifact¡¯ that can transcend different dimensional planes.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, by now, your homeland¡¯s civilization would probably think you have perished,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face changed, he had two soul sensing artifacts on him.


    One was the Spiritual Lamp, which could achieve clear sensing as long as he was in this Mortal Domain, and it was controlled by Gu You.


    The other was the Life Crystal, controlled by the Seven Star Civilization, but it could only confirm within a singular world.


    ...


    Furthermore, refining the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯ had taken him over forty days.


    In other words, more than forty days ago, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization were guessing whether he had perished? sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Venerable One, why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, worry in his heart.


    ¡°I said before, when you make a choice, there will be consequences,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°Without fully confirming your attitude, I would not allow the slightest possibility of the news leaking.¡±


    ¡°I also established this Core Palace inside the Mothership to isolate the essence of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg. Even a Seventh Rank Heavenly Divine wouldn¡¯t even dream of sensing it directly unless they broke into the palace,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    Qiu Bingzun was right; before this, there seemed to be no need for him to regard Li Yuan¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°But rest assured, I know what you are worried about.¡±


    ¡°Xue Yan, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and your clan¡¯s ¡®Yu Jinghe,¡¯ who are currently trapped inside the Mothership, I haven¡¯t let them out,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed. ¡°The external forces have also not broken out in major wars.¡±


    ¡°Your homeland civilization, the Seven Star Civilization, has not suffered any loss.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    What he was most worried about was that so many days had passed and Xue Yan, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the others had already left the Mothership ¡­ in that case, there would be too many uncontrollable factors.


    ¡°As long as you form a blood pact with the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, allowing it to hatch successfully, all these people are at your disposal,¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled. ¡°If you are unwilling to kill them, I even have a way to let you control them by soul.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°It involves planting a prohibition at the source, in their souls, making them willingly submissive to you from the depths of their hearts,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained. ¡°Thus it is called Soul Control.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control Technique, across the Divine Realm, is exceedingly precious, and many divines cannot acquire it,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°This peculiar secret technique, in terms of its rarity, is comparable to many complete Supreme Star Techniques.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily, such methods he had only heard of but had never seen before.


    ¡°Can I cultivate this method?¡± Li Yuan furrowed his brow.


    ¡°Normally, no, even a Demigod¡¯s soul utilization is quite rudimentary,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed. ¡°But among the gifts I¡¯ve prepared for you, there¡¯s one that can help you initially cultivate it¡­ controlling a few at the Flying Heaven Level isn¡¯t hard.¡±


    Li Yuan inwardly exclaimed and also felt a bit wary.


    This Heavenly Serpent Divine, truly a supreme existence among true gods, still very fearsome even if already deceased, leaving just a residual thought behind.


    ¡°Of course, this type of Soul Technique Method also has many drawbacks,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°For one, it places a certain burden on the user¡¯s soul. The stronger the servant, the greater the impact on the master, so there¡¯s a limit to the number of servants you can control¡­ and once a servant surpasses a certain level of strength, they can break free of this soul restriction.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, it cannot be executed on those too strong. For example, if your own soul is only at the Flying Heaven Level and it¡¯s used on a Demigod¡­ you might instead suffer backlash, causing severe damage to yourself.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°Thirdly, is that the controlled beings often see a significant drop in potential,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°Some exceptional talents, after being controlled by soul, will often see their strength progress much slower, rarely reaching their original potential.¡±


    ¡°Why is that?¡± Li Yuan puzzled.


    ¡°Their hearts change,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°Why can the strong become strong? Because they have the heart of the strong, the courage and determination to surpass everything¡­ If they become servants, blindly obeying the master, can they still become strong over time?¡±


    Li Yuan had a realization, true exceptional talents and strong beings always firmly believe in themselves, even if their progress is slow for a while, they usually do not get discouraged¡­ Even if they revere a senior, they won¡¯t contemplate becoming a ¡®servant.¡¯


    ¡°If I can control their souls, that¡¯s naturally best; I don¡¯t care if their future potential lowers,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    If he could control the two Beast Emperors, then he could keep control over the Ming Xu Beast Clan.


    If he could control Xue Yan? That would be like driving a deep wedge into the Demon Civilization, potentially infiltrating the high ranks of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the future.


    ¡­


    Inside a massive secret chamber within the inner layer of the Mothership.


    A Combat Saber floated in the void, pitch-black and emitting strange fluctuations.


    Inside the chamber, Yu Jinghe, clad in a black robe, was continually staring at the Combat Saber in the void, sensing the mysterious fluctuations.


    ¡°Metal!¡±


    ¡°Incredible, this Combat Saber contains a Sword Technique that¡¯s utterly unimaginable,¡± as Yu Jinghe delved deeper, the more he marveled.


    Still, Yu Jinghe was quite troubled, ¡°According to the Alien God¡¯s messenger, I must comprehend a powerful enough Sword Technique within six months to hope to advance to the next test.¡±


    ¡°This inner layer of the Mothership contains many treasures and opportunities, a rare chance for me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve become a direct disciple of an Alien God, with the inheritance of an Alien God aiding me, there¡¯s a great hope for me to become a Semi-Divine.¡±

    Chapter 571: Chapter 325: Yu Jinghe¡¯s Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2


    Xue Yan became a Direct Disciple of an Alien God with relative ease.


    Yet, Yu Jinghe had only managed to barely scrape through the ¡°Sixth Layer Trial¡± of the Heavenly Serpent Divine after a breakthrough in the Star Meridian within the Divine Land and after cultivating a stronger Star Technique.


    Faced with the harsh demands of the Direct Disciple of a Metal-series Alien God, Yu Jinghe ultimately chose to agree.


    After all, he wasn¡¯t like Li Yuan, now faced with the legacy left by a Divine, it was natural to go all out.


    ¡°There is the transmission of an Alien God, but becoming a Divine is not easy either, I must seize the opportunity within the Inner Layer,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s heart was filled with desire, ¡°If I could enter the very core of the Inner Layer, perhaps ascending to godhood would be easy.¡±


    The deeper he delved, the more miraculous he found the Mothership.


    ...


    A great treasure indeed. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Still, Yu Jinghe¡¯s heart was full of concerns, ¡°Having entered the Mothership for so long, I¡¯m unaware of the situation outside. How goes the war with the Mingxu Beast Clan?¡±


    Suddenly.


    Countless beams of light converged, consolidating in the secret chamber into a towering, horned silhouette.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked down at Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°Alien God¡¯s emissary,¡± Yu Jinghe got up and respectfully bowed.


    ¡°Your trial has ended,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°What?¡± Yu Jinghe was suddenly shocked, ¡°Senior, you gave me six months for the trial, and it hasn¡¯t even been two months. I definitely have the hope of passing this trial.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say you failed the trial, but that your trial has ended,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke indifferently, ¡°Just now, someone has already passed the trial, entered the core of the Inner Layer, and obtained the treasure left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine.¡±


    ¡°Someone has completed the trial? Who?¡± Yu Jinghe was shocked in his heart, having gone through many trials before, he was well aware of their difficulty.


    And within the Inner Layer¡¯s Sixth Trials, he had only struggled through to the Third Layer, who could have passed all six so quickly?


    Could it be one of the Three Great Beast Emperors?


    ¡°You know this person,¡± Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ from your Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡± Yu Jinghe inhaled sharply, familiar with the name.


    Before entering the Civilization Mothership, he had heard about the birth of a super genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ in his civilization, who had swept through the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Back then, his heart was exhilarated.


    But he had not expected that this person would also enter the Divine Land and so quickly overcome all obstacles to obtain the ultimate treasure.


    ¡°You should be thankful.¡±


    ¡°If it had been a bit later, ¡®Xue Yan¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Civilization might have had a chance to break into the core of the Inner Layer,¡± Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, ¡°Although he entered later than you, he has already reached the Fourth Layer Trial¡­¡±


    ¡°Xue Yan?¡± A flicker of confusion passed through Yu Jinghe¡¯s eyes, unfamiliar with the name.


    The situation over the past few months had exceeded his imagination.


    But from Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words, Yu Jinghe could also judge¡­ if not for Spirit Gun, he most likely would not have been able to compete with this ¡®Xue Yan.¡¯


    ¡°That¡¯s fine,¡± Yu Jinghe thought, ¡°The treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine, falling into Spirit Gun¡¯s hands, is a thousand, a million times better than it falling into Xue Yan¡¯s.¡±


    After all, it would belong to the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Sigh!¡±


    With a wave of his hand, Qiu Bingzun sent a Storage Treasure floating towards Yu Jinghe. The Combat Saber, which had been hovering in the chamber, with its mysterious fluctuations, began to subside and gently fell: ¡°As per Spirit Gun¡¯s wishes, these treasures are gifted to you, as a reward for passing the Fifth Layer Trial.¡±


    ¡°This?¡± Yu Jinghe was startled. He himself possessed Flying Heaven Level spiritual power and, with a mere thought, he could tell the Storage Magical Treasure contained astonishingly valuable treasures.


    ¡°Thank you, senior,¡± Yu Jinghe said respectfully.


    ¡°To give thanks, thank Spirit Gun,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at him, ¡°Had he not spoken, you would have had no right to these treasures¡­ The treasure left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine is only one level higher than the gift you have received.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s heart was already filled with goodwill towards this ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ whom he had never met.


    ¡°Before sending you away.¡±


    ¡°You have no demands for this gift, but don¡¯t forget your promise to the ¡®Metal-series Alien God,''¡± Qiu Bingzun confirmed, ¡°You have set a Law oath, and no one can help you with that.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded, the inheritance left by the Alien God¡¯s Direct Disciple was very demanding, but it also asked him to become a Divine before taking action, so there was no rush.


    ¡°Additionally.¡±


    ¡°You must set a Law oath, not to reveal the secrets about the Inner Layer,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°This is not Spirit Gun¡¯s request, but a demand of the Heavenly Serpent Divine.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded.


    Before long.


    Yu Jinghe, having established another Law oath, was directly sent out of the Civilization Mothership by Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°This Li Yuan is indeed a man of great loyalty,¡± Qiu Bingzun murmured, as his avatar dissipated.


    ¡­


    In the core of the Mothership, within the vast expanse of the Heavenly Snake Temple.


    ¡°I have already sent Yu Jinghe away.¡±


    ¡°And told him you are still alive, so you don¡¯t have to worry anymore,¡± the towering, horned silhouette suddenly said, ¡°Additionally, I have given him an extra little gift, it should be helpful to him.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Venerable One,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Li Yuan had wanted to contact Bright Moon Base directly, but Qiu Bingzun was unwilling, agreeing only to let Yu Jinghe pass on the message.


    ¡°Rest assured, I am not deceiving you,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to start hatching the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded, with everything at this stage, there were no other choices left.


    ¡­


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The entire temple suddenly began to shake, as the once towering Divine Pillars burst into light, countless glows converging towards the center of the great hall.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°It¡¯s finally starting,¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes showed a complex expression, ¡°Who knows if this is the last Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg of our clan.¡±

 Chapter 572 - 325: Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_3

    Chapter 572: Chapter 325: Yu Jinghe¡¯s Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_3


    ¡°When the Heavenly Serpent Clan was attacked by a powerful enemy years ago, they began a great escape, and he led just one of the fleeing groups.¡±


    ¡°As for whether the other fleeing groups are still alive, whether there are still any Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Eggs? Qiu Bingzun doesn¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°They didn¡¯t know or contact each other, each escaping on their own, to ensure the maximum continuation of their clan.¡±


    ¡°Boom~¡± Suddenly, the ground of the temple split open, revealing a huge Divine Pool filled with purple liquid that ebbed and flowed, emitting a hazy radiance, resembling divine brilliance.


    ¡°What a rich life essence.¡± Li Yuan held his breath; he could feel that these purple liquids were probably exceedingly precious.


    Then, Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell upon a green serpent egg within the vast Divine Pool.


    ...


    So big!


    From just sizing it up, Li Yuan confirmed that the diameter of this serpent egg must exceed ten meters. It was completely immersed in the purple liquid, its surface flickering with layers of flowing light, emitting a powerful aura.


    ¡°Thousands of years have passed, and the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg has maintained its vitality all thanks to these special Spiritual Liquids,¡± Qiu Bingzun whispered, ¡°from the birth to the hatching of a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, it can be preserved for up to thirty thousand years¡­ and now, it¡¯s nearly twenty thousand years.¡±


    ¡°These Spiritual Liquids not only ensure its vitality but also seal its life essence.¡±


    ¡°Twenty thousand years?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    Truly exaggerated, fitting for a great clan of the Divine Realm, their methods are many!


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Whoosh~ Qiu Bingzun suddenly raised his hand, his fingertip traced a streak of light, which instantly shot into Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Immediately, a massive amount of information emerged, all about the various methods to hatch the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current spiritual power, he quickly understood it all.


    ¡°The rest is up to you now,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the Divine Pool, and directly plunged into it. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Splash~


    Li Yuan was completely soaked in the purple Spiritual Liquid.


    ¡°I must succeed.¡±


    Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Once successful, I will receive many treasures left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine, as well as a Spirit Beast that is destined to grow to the True God Peak.¡±


    Such a powerful Spirit Beast, easily attracting disasters, not to mention the Heavenly Serpent Clan still has formidable enemies.


    But if used well, it is also a great asset.


    Following the methods in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s information, a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, in as short as a hundred years, and at most a thousand years, would grow all the way to the True God Peak, then shine radiantly for thirty thousand years.


    Many formidable True Gods, reaching the True God Peak is close to the end of their lifespan, making it naturally difficult to Ascend to Heavenly God.


    But for a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, it has thirty thousand years to strive and pursue¡­ the hope of becoming a Heavenly God is naturally immense.


    ¡°Refinement.¡± Li Yuan followed the information, his Divine Sense quickly penetrated the entire Divine Pool.


    Gradually sensing the many Secret Runes in the Divine Pool, all were fluctuations of the mystery of the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Without the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, I¡¯m afraid it wouldn¡¯t be this easy,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan had understood why Qiu Bingzun had asked him to first try using the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind,¡¯ to transform his body¡¯s bloodline to be closer to the Wind Law and also to better fit the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Bloodline, making the hatching of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent easier.


    A while later.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Li Yuan had initially refined the Divine Pool and through the Divine Pool sensed every bit of Spiritual Liquid.


    This was the first step.


    ¡°Second step, merge with the life essence.¡± Li Yuan thought, and immediately as if his body was boiling, large amounts of blood seeped from many pores, directly permeating into the Spiritual Liquid.


    They began to merge.


    As time passed, a large amount of blood seeped into the Divine Pool, and at the same time, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power also crazily transformed into blood¡­ gradually, the entire Divine Pool started to show hints of blood color.


    ¡­


    Following the information, Li Yuan spent a long time, and when his body felt waves of weakness¡­ he finally, using the Divine Pool, merged his own blood with the Spiritual Liquid into one.


    ¡°Third step, release the suppression, merge into the serpent egg.¡± Li Yuan thought, and the Magical Treasure-like Divine Pool completely released its suppression on that giant Heaven Snake Egg.


    Immediately.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The once silent Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg immediately burst into dazzling brilliance, followed by what seemed like a giant vortex forming.


    Madly absorbing the Spiritual Liquid in the Divine Pool, which was mixed with a large amount of Li Yuan¡¯s blood.


    Absorbing the external energy, the aura of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg rapidly exploded; it had begun its nurturing birth.


    ¡°Merge the Soul Force.¡± Li Yuan thought, his Divine Sense Power already permeated the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.


    ¡°Sssss~¡±


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, at this moment, seemed like a giant Taotie, even devouring Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense Power without hesitation.


    Pain!


    Damage to the Divine Sense felt like the soul tearing, waves of pain sweeping through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°By feeding the snake with the body, nurturing with the soul, only then can we make our bloodlines fit each other,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, striving to hold on.


    Li Yuan also finally understood why Qiu Bingzun had previously said to ¡®hold on.¡¯


    The entire process would last three months, indeed very painful.


    Fortunately.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg only devoured bits of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense Power, causing pain but, in a short time, not causing fatal damage.


    ¡­


    ¡°Back then, the elders said,¡±


    ¡°Only by our clan rebirthing a Heavenly Divine can we rebuild and stand tall in the Divine Realm once more,¡± Qiu Bingzun silently watched everything in the Divine Pool, ¡°who knows if it can succeed in the future.¡±


    ¡°My lord,¡±


    A black snake phantom couldn¡¯t help but transmit its voice, ¡°Do you really plan to let the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent become the ¡®Spirit Beast¡¯ of the Spirit Gun? According to your original intention, if Xue Yan comes, wasn¡¯t the plan to make Xue Yan the ¡®Servant¡¯ of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent?¡±

    ¡°Um,¡± Qiu Bingzun glanced at the black phantom, ¡°Xue Yan? His potential is too poor, the hope for him to become a True God is very slim¡­ He is of little help to the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, so he is just a ¡®substitute¡¯ in my plan.¡±


    ¡°But the Spirit Gun is different,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at the figure in black garment in the Divine Pool, ¡°his potential is extremely high.¡±


    ¡°He is likely to be admitted under the Heavenly Divine Gate in the future, or even become a Heavenly Divine himself.¡±


    ¡°This is a Heavenly Divine of the Human Race!¡±


    ¡°The Human Race is the leading clan in the Divine Realm,¡± Qiu Bingzun said softly, ¡°I never expected to rely on the Spirit Gun to fend off the great enemy of my Heavenly Serpent Clan, but in the future, he might join some superpower forces in the Divine Realm, such as¡ªChaos Divine Court.¡±


    ¡°Chaos Divine Court?¡± the black snake phantom was shocked.


    ...


    That was indeed one of the top forces in the Divine Realm.


    ¡°I genuinely help him; the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent will regard him as a brother, as a father.¡±


    ¡°Due to the bloodline contract, he will also feel extremely close to the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent¡­ so that he will naturally help the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent in the future,¡± Qiu Bingzun slowly explained.


    ¡°He is from the Human Race, highly talented, and also from the Mortal Domain, born so pure¡­ his chances of joining a superpower force in the Divine Realm are substantial.¡±


    ¡°With that,¡± continued Qiu Bingzun, ¡°the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, being his Spirit Beast, would naturally also have a chance to become the core of a superpower, greatly increasing its chances of ascending to Heavenly God.¡±


    The black snake phantom understood.


    If it was the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent alone, joining a superpower would be easy, but becoming the core of a superpower? As difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    It would be hard to gain trust.


    ¡°If it gets to that point.¡±


    ¡°If the two of them, both Heavenly Divine, join forces and are part of a superpower, even if it meant rebuilding the Heavenly Serpent Clan, even our enemies would not dare to act rashly again,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke gravely, ¡°otherwise, even if they both become Heavenly Divine, they would still struggle to fend off a great enemy.¡±


    ¡°Wise words, Venerable One,¡± the black snake phantom said.


    ¡­


    As time passed, while Li Yuan was fully engaged in hatching the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent in the core of the Mothership.


    Back in the Ming Xu Star Realm, Yu Jinghe had safely returned to the Bright Moon Base.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, alone, killed over a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings? Has the power of Flying Heaven Peak?¡± Yu Jinghe was flabbergasted, finally learning about the events of the recent months.


    At the same time.


    The news he brought also caused Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan to be shocked and excited.


    ¡°Spirit Gun is still alive?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s still alive! Good!¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan is still alive?¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe has returned alive?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, San Ye Semi-Divine also quickly received the news and were extremely excited.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai immediately headed to Jiangnan Province to meet Yu Jinghe, who had come from the Ming Xu Star Realm, wanting to know what exactly happened.


    ¡°Three Great Beast Emperors, only two left?¡±


    ¡°Ming Mountain, it¡¯s a God Level Warship, and inside the warship are the inheritances of six Divine Beings?¡±


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, are they all still within the warship?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai listened to Yu Jinghe¡¯s detailed narration.


    The six Divine Being Inheritances alone astonished them.


    Qiu Bingzun only told Yu Jinghe not to reveal inner layer secrets, but regarding the outer layer? He did not make any demands.


    ¡°Two seniors.¡±


    ¡°Regarding many things about the warship, I can¡¯t speak¡­ I can only tell you, seniors, that Spirit Gun has obtained greater benefits than I, and he is safe,¡± Yu Jinghe said, ¡°However, I do not know when he will be able to come out.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai exchanged glances, unable to speak?


    ¡°Is it a law oath?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked quietly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded.


    ¡­Yu Jinghe¡¯s return temporarily alleviated the high echelons of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s concerns about Li Yuan, filling them with anticipation.


    Day by day, the situation in Ming Xu Star Realm remained stable, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

 Chapter 574 - 326: Born! Liu Bing (Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

    Chapter 574: Chapter 326: Born! Liu Bing (Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)


    Tianliang Civilization, aboard the warship suspended over the ocean, inside the conference room.


    ¡°Nearly five months since he went in.¡±


    ¡°Such a long time and still no news?¡± Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s brows were deeply furrowed.


    Considering his status within the Myriad Demons Civilization, he was more esteemed than most ¡®Kings¡¯ of divine nations, how precious was his time?


    Originally sent by the Eastern Demon Deity, the purpose was to intimidate the Tianliang Civilization, to prevent the situation where the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s genius obtains treasures and then gets preyed upon by the Tianliang Civilization.


    Unexpectedly, this delay had now lasted almost half a year.


    ...


    ¡°Ye An Semi Divine,¡± Jin Liang entered the conference room, where there were few people present today, and spoke in a deep voice, ¡°I just received a message, Yu Jinghe has returned.¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe from the Seven Stars Civilization? Wasn¡¯t he trapped in the Divine Land?¡± Ye An Semi Divine was visibly surprised.


    ¡°I just found out as well,¡± said Jin Liang Semi Divine solemnly, ¡°According to reliable information¡­ he has been back for at least a month.¡±


    ¡°That long? Why wasn¡¯t it revealed?¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke in a low voice.


    ¡°Upon his return, he continued to conceal his movements, we had no knowledge of it,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine shook his head and sighed, ¡°This time it was purely coincidental that we found out.¡±


    ¡°Still, what he experienced in the Divine Land and what he obtained remains a total mystery,¡± said Jin Liang Semi Divine.


    ¡°A coincidence?¡± Ye An Semi Divine did not press further.


    The Tianliang Civilization was a vassal of the Myriad Demons Civilization, but he was not a vassal himself, so naturally, he would not divulge the secrets of his own civilization¡¯s intelligence network.


    ¡°Alright, I understand.¡±


    ¡°I will report to the Divine Being and find a way to clarify this,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said softly.


    In terms of intelligence networks, the Myriad Demons Civilization was naturally stronger¡­ now knowing the specific target, the tracking would be much easier.


    ¡­


    Not long after.


    Feixing, a mysterious place of long-term quiet cultivation by Dongfang Ji, within a void.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    A deep voice sounded, ¡°I just received news, the Tianliang Civilization has identified the leak of Yu Jinghe¡¯s whereabouts, it seems to have been leaked recently.¡±


    ¡°Leaked recently?¡± Dongfang Ji opened his eyes and frowned, ¡°Did you investigate Yu Jinghe¡¯s recent actions?¡±


    ¡°I did.¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe, following orders, had been in seclusion all this time without showing himself, only recently did he contact his family,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°I have already tracked down six targets based on clues, and am further pursuing them.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, clarify it first, but don¡¯t act rashly for now, find another reason later and then expose it,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s another matter I wish to report,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°Recently, the forces that secretly tried to break into the Blue Star virtual network mainframe have been traced¡­ the source seems to be in Xia Country¡¯s Jiangnan Province.¡±


    ¡°Jiangnan Province?¡± Dongfang Ji was taken aback, being from Xia Country, he was naturally familiar.


    ¡°The target location is uncertain,¡± the deep voice continued, ¡°However, the temporarily locked region coincides significantly with the area where Li Yuan last secluded himself to cultivate the Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    A flicker of light passed through Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    Last September.


    Li Yuan obtained a treasure worth 500,000 Seven Stars Points, practiced Star Technique in the Ancient Divine Palace, secluded for more than ten days¡­ effectively disappearing from the Seven Stars Civilization¡¯s supervision.


    Although high-level officials of the Seven Stars Civilization never inquired, the surveillance system still performed ¡®regional standards¡¯.


    ¡°State your speculation,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly.


    ¡°From previous signs, it appears that the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ of the Fierce Feather Star Realm likely contains a powerful Earth System Divine Being heritage, at least a Fifth Rank Pseudo-God Peak, perhaps even a True God Heritage,¡± said the deep voice.


    Dongfang Ji listened, ¡°Continue.¡±


    ¡°In this heritage he acquired, there likely exists a formidable power,¡± the deep voice continued, ¡°Now it¡¯s uncertain whether this power is under Li Yuan¡¯s control.¡±


    ¡°I speculate that hidden there is either a Cave Heaven Treasure or a God Level Warship,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°If you, Master, wish to know the truth, I can order the guardian legion to activate the Planet Origin Force Array¡­ to conduct a thorough search, which will definitely reveal it.¡±


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°First, continue surveillance,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly, ¡°Didn¡¯t Yu Jinghe say that Li Yuan survived and even gained great benefits?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Li Yuan to return.¡±


    ¡°Then question him and probe,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°Everyone has secrets. He has exceptional talent, and his opportunities far surpass Fang Hai¡¯s¡­ If used well, perhaps a remarkable being will emerge in our Seven Stars Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But if not well-controlled¡­ I don¡¯t want to bring harm to the Seven Stars Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°You speak of thorough investigation, but what if there are God Level powers among this hidden force? Could the guardian legion withstand it?¡±


    ¡°My journey by warship to there will also take several days.¡±


    The area of void became quiet.


    After a while, the deep voice finally said, ¡°Master, I was wrong, my consideration was insufficient.¡±


    ¡°I understand your concerns, wanting to control the situation, eliminate all uncontrollable factors,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly, ¡°But the more talented, the less controllable.¡±


    ¡°Those you can easily monitor, like Duanmu Hong, like San Ye, do you expect them to ascend to god? Can you confidently entrust the Seven Stars Civilization to them?¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°And like Fang Hai, can you monitor him?¡±


    Silence fell on the source of that voice.


    ¡°Go then, keep a close watch on Li Yuan¡¯s movements,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed, ¡°Also keep an eye on the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ you used the ¡®Mothership Mainframe¡¯ to deduce that the time of appearance should be within the next year or two, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I will keep watch, and once there is any situation, I will notify Fang Hai at once, and have him go there.¡±


    ¡­


    Ming Xu Star Realm, at the core of the mothership.


    Inside the Temple.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost ready.¡± The lone, robust Phantom loomed over the nearly dried-up Divine Pool, observing Li Yuan, whose spiritual essence had grown significantly weak.


    Clearly, the drain of the last three months had greatly affected both Li Yuan¡¯s body and soul.


    In stark contrast to Li Yuan¡¯s feeble aura was the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, over ten meters in diameter, releasing an aura much stronger than before.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun waved his hand.


    An array of bizarre, fluctuating blood-red Secret Runes appeared above Li Yuan and the giant egg, congregating into a vast, unique pattern.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke in a low voice, ¡°Bloodline compatibility, get ready.¡±


    Li Yuan opened his eyes and looked up at the vast blood-red pattern, which emitted an ancient, profound aura.


    Li Yuan could sense a ripple of intent emanating from it¡ª a Covenant!


    This was a contract.


    Summoned by the Great Dao!


    Boom~ The massive blood-red pattern slowly descended, with one end landing on Li Yuan and the other on the giant egg, followed by countless blood-red Phantoms flying out and merging into both.


    ¡°Merge.¡± Li Yuan did not resist as these strange forces flowed into his body.


    They subtly merged with both his body and soul.


    As time passed, the massive blood-red pattern gradually faded, and Li Yuan faintly sensed life fluctuations coming from the egg¡­ an invisible connection had been established between them.


    A natural closeness.


    ¡°Master¡­ master?¡± A slightly immature voice resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The powerful, vibrant green giant egg suddenly cracked open, revealing a huge body harbored within¡ª a large Green Snake, coiled inside.


    At first glance, it seemed indistinguishable from ordinary Flying Serpents.


    However, upon closer inspection, its scales were crystal clear, its wings and claws as if masterfully crafted¡­ all radiating a vigorous life essence.


    The more one observed, the more extraordinary the Flying Serpent appeared.


    Beautiful!


    It was the most beautiful Flying Serpent Li Yuan had ever seen; even the Flying Heaven Level Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperors couldn¡¯t match the aura of this green snake.


    ¡°[Target life, Life Level 29.9]¡± Li Yuan promptly conducted a Divine Palace Exploration, feeling inwardly surprised.


    Born at the Second Rank Limit of life?


    Whoosh!


    The Green Snake¡¯s spiritual eyes shifted, and it swiftly came to face Li Yuan.


    It wrapped its massive wings around Li Yuan, seemingly embracing him, yet its head was lowered as if lying in front of him.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    The Green Snake looked at Li Yuan, its youthful voice echoing in Li Yuan¡¯s mind again: ¡°I have finally met you. Before, I could only sense your presence.¡±


    This was a soul communication.


    ¡°A female?¡± Li Yuan sensed something was off.


    But at the same time, when the Green Snake drew near, Li Yuan felt an unprecedented closeness, as if facing his own child.


    This was due to the blood covenant.


    And more so because Li Yuan had nurtured it with his own blood and Divine Consciousness Power.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    Qiu Bingzun landed slowly, smiling at the scene: ¡°Congratulations, it was successful.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Bing, I finally witnessed the day you were born.¡± Qiu Bingzun, too, was quite moved as he watched the Green Snake, sighing, ¡°It¡¯s just unfortunate that I shall never see this myself.¡±


    ¡°I will not forget Elder Qiu¡¯s deeds,¡± said the Green Snake softly, her voice clear and melodious, yet tinged with sadness.


    Li Yuan watched the scene, stunned.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be surprised.¡±


    ¡°How powerful is the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent? Even before they are born, they have a faint consciousness, capable of sensing the outside world,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained with a smile. ¡°Over the past twenty thousand years, Xiao Bing has been aware of many events outside. I often tried to communicate with her¡­ of course, her consciousness was very vague until she was born and truly developed spiritual wisdom.¡±


    ¡°But the many past experiences will also be vague memories.¡±


    ¡°You should not treat her as a child.¡±


    ¡°She possesses many inherited memories. Her horizon and insight in many respects might far surpass yours,¡± declared Qiu Bingzun.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, his heart filled with wonder.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, undoubtedly one of the strongest Divine Beasts in the Divine Realm, truly incredible.


    ¡°You are called Xiao Bing?¡± Li Yuan looked at the Green Snake.


    ¡°Master, my real name is Liu Bing, a name I chose for myself.¡±


    ¡°Liu is the most prestigious surname within our Heaven Snake lineage.¡±


    ¡°Bing is to honor ¡®Elder Qiu¡¯; without him, there would be no me.¡± The Green Snake¡¯s spiritual eyes looked at Li Yuan earnestly. ¡°Given time, if I grow to the Peak of True God, then as per the customs of my Heaven Snake lineage, I may add the title ¡®Zun¡¯ to my name.¡±


    ¡°Liu Bingzun?¡± Li Yuan murmured softly. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 576 - 328: Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid

    Chapter 576: Chapter 328: Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current Second Level authority within the mothership, only subordinate to Qiu Bingzun and the training officers, he could easily confirm the location of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and his group using Inquiry methods.


    Furthermore, with the mobilization of ¡°Mothership Energy,¡± killing the most powerful Myriad Scales Beast Emperor would be a breeze.


    ¡°Sweeping through the Mingxu Beast Clan would also be easy.¡±


    ¡°However, I can¡¯t possibly stay in the Mingxu Star Realm forever, once I advance to Flying Heaven Level and Liu Bing also breaks through to Third Rank, we won¡¯t be able to return to Mingxu Star Realm, and thus we won¡¯t be able to utilize the power of the mothership,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°By then, if we want to defend Mingxu Star Realm, we can still only rely on the Seven Star Civilization itself.¡±


    The venerable ones would be willing to help him, help Liu Bing.


    But they may not necessarily be willing to concern themselves with the other powerhouses of the Seven Star Civilization who will be stationed in the Star Realm in the future.


    ...


    Therefore, he had to strive for a permanent solution to the problem.


    ¡°Enslavement!¡±


    ¡°Enslave the Beast Emperor, making them lead a large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings to fend off the future invasions of the Tianliang Civilization,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. ¡°With the strength of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, along with some of my assistance, there is hope for him to break through to Semi-Divine in the future.¡±


    Once they became servants, it wouldn¡¯t matter if Li Yuan couldn¡¯t return; they would loyally carry out the orders Li Yuan left behind.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, swiftly leaving the empty area¡­ With the Heavenly Snake Hall taken up, the space became hollow, but it also revealed many passageways.


    Following one of the passageways, Li Yuan directly entered one of the Quiet Cultivation Rooms.


    The Quiet Chamber was as bright as daylight and contained many Jade Platforms.


    Exhaling, Li Yuan casually chose a Jade Platform to sit on and with a thought, he activated his authority and closed the cabin.


    ¡°Condense!¡± Li Yuan pointed to the void, and instantly two light screens appeared, each displaying a figure.


    One was the massive figure of the ¡®Myriad Scales Beast Emperor,¡¯ resembling the legendary Fire Kirin.


    The other was ¡®Xue Yan,¡¯ dressed in a black robe, seriously holding a Combat Saber, deeply engrossed in cultivation.


    ¡°These two guys are still foolishly cultivating? Trying to pass the Fifth Layer challenges to reach the Inner Core?¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly. ¡°Even for Xue Yan, it would probably take several years to get through the Fifth Layer challenges.¡±


    The challenges left behind by Qiu Bingzun were not so easily overcome.


    Snap~


    He closed the two light screens.


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll use the treasure gifted by Qiu Bingzun to try to gain entry to the ¡®Soul Nine Refinements¡¯ Method,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, taking out an Inheritance Crystal Stone from his palm.


    Among the nearly a hundred Inheritance Crystal Stones gifted by Qiu Bingzun, aside from the various cultivation knowledge and Star Techniques, many were various secret techniques¡­ Although these secret techniques did not directly enhance combat power like Star Techniques, many secret techniques were valued even higher than Supreme Star Techniques.


    For example ¡ª ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    ¡°Hum~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness penetrated it, and a flood of information surged into his mind, all concerning the cultivation methods of ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    Incredibly profound, making Li Yuan marvel.


    After a long time, even with Li Yuan¡¯s strong spiritual power, he barely managed to memorize ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± completely.


    But that was just memorization; cultivating it was still as difficult as ascending to heaven.


    ¡°The creator of this Method was truly formidable, probably one of the powerful Heavenly Divine,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°No wonder Qiu Bingzun placed such importance on this Method.¡±


    ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± consists of four parts: Semi-Divine Chapter, Pseudo-God Chapter, True God Chapter, Heavenly God Chapter¡­ Normally, only a Semi-Divine Peak Expert would have a chance to gain entry.


    Because, usually only Semi-Divine Peak Experts would have sufficiently high research on the soul¡­ Like a Flying Heaven Level life, most only crudely utilize Divine Sense. To cultivate this kind of Soul Secret Technique? If not careful, it could even lead to a collapse of their own spirit.


    Once ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± was perfected, it would allow control of up to nine strong beings of the same rank with minimal impact on oneself!!


    For instance, cultivating the ¡®Pseudo-God Chapter¡¯ would enable one to control and enslave nine Pseudo-Gods.


    At the same time, it wouldn¡¯t put an additional burden on one¡¯s own soul, which is very important.


    After all, the soul is the foundation of life, and enslaving other powerhouses is aimed at strengthening one¡¯s own forces, but if it affects the soul and cultivation, the gains do not outweigh the losses.


    Of course, like cultivating into the ¡®Pseudo-God Chapter¡¯ and then controlling Semi-Divine beings would have an even smaller impact, controlling dozens of them wouldn¡¯t stack up to the impact of controlling a single Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Fifth Rank treasure, Divine Soul Liquid,¡± Li Yuan flipped his palm again, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.


    Gently opening it, Li Yuan felt as if his spiritual power was leaping with joy.


    Like a starving person encountering a substantial nourishment.


    A normal Flying Heaven Level soul can¡¯t cultivate the ¡°Soul Nine Refinements,¡± so what to do? Use external aids!!


    The first treasure gifted to Li Yuan by Qiu Bingzun was two things¡ªa unit of Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid and 50 Fangshen Crystals of the Five Elements Divine Crystal.


    ¡°50 Fangshen Five Elements Divine Crystals are worth 5 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Plus the 10 Fangshen Five Elements Divine Crystals gifted by the Wind System Alien God, I¡¯ve now acquired a total of 60 Fangshen Divine Crystals.¡±


    Divine Crystals, even within the Divine Realm, were a hard currency; Divine beings conducted transactions using Divine Crystals.


    A Semi Divine Artifact would typically cost between 0.1 and 1 Fangshen.


    And a Fifth Layer Divine Artifact, depending on its use, typically costs between 10 and 500 Fangshen.


    In short, the Divine Crystals that Li Yuan had acquired could be exchanged for a decent Divine Artifact.


    However!!


    In terms of value alone, these 60 Fangshen Divine Crystals did not compare to this one unit of Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid.


    ¡°According to some introductions in common knowledge, the so-called Divine Soul Liquid is refined by some Soul Masters in the Divine Realm after hunting down divine powerhouses, extracting the essence of their souls,¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed. ¡°It can nourish the cultivator¡¯s soul, aiding in its growth.¡±


    ¡°The most crucial point is, once used, it allows some weaker beings¡¯ souls to temporarily possess the characteristics of this level of Divine Soul Liquid¡­ enabling them to cultivate many Soul Secret Techniques that are normally difficult to practice.¡±


    ¡°Or in combat, by using Divine Soul Liquid, one can also temporarily boost the power of the soul, greatly increasing the power of Soul Secret Techniques in action¡­ In short, its uses are manifold,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having received the legacy bestowed by Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan¡¯s perspective and knowledge had become far beyond what they once were.


    In the vast Divine Realm, full of mystery and splendor, there were innumerable exotic treasures.


    But Li Yuan could also glimpse the dangers contained within the Divine Realm.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Soul Liquid,¡± Li Yuan stared at the jade bottle, behind which lay the fall of a Fifth Rank Deity.


    The ¡®soul¡¯ of a Fifth Rank Deity could produce many portions of ¡®Pseudo-God Soul Liquid¡¯¡­ its value was also extraordinarily astonishing.


    ¡°Whew!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan fully opened his soul and began to absorb the strange power of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid in the bottle with all his might.


    The Divine Soul Liquid was not a real liquid, but a formless power¡­ only by reaching the Flying Heaven Level could one sense and absorb it with Divine Sense.


    ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s Pseudo-God Soul Liquid,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If it were True God Soul Liquid, even with my spiritual power, I couldn¡¯t withstand it at all. Even absorbing a trace could result in my soul shattering.¡±


    The True God Soul Liquid was worth more than a thousand times that of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid, and its efficacy was heaven-defying.


    Time passed by.


    Hiss hiss~ Li Yuan continued to absorb the power of the ¡®Pseudo-God Soul Liquid.¡¯


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has broken through from level 37.3 to 37.4]¡± A prompt from the Divine Palace flashed by.


    The Pseudo-God Soul Liquid could nurture the soul.


    But the key was that Li Yuan felt his spirit become empty and ethereal. At this moment, he seemed to control every ounce of his soul¡¯s power with meticulous subtlety, surpassing the past by tens or hundreds of times.


    ¡°Is this what it feels like for a Pseudo-God powerhouse to control their soul?¡± Li Yuan marveled.


    With the help of such a supreme treasure, one could catch a glimpse of the power of a Deity.


    ¡°Cherish the time.¡±


    ¡°The first step, soul splitting.¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t dare waste the power of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid and immediately began cultivating ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    Qiu Bingzun had left him this legacy.


    Once wasted, before heading to the Divine Realm, it would be nearly impossible to get such precious items again.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan began cultivating ¡°Soul Nine Refinements,¡± in another control cabin of the Civilization Mothership.


    The layout here was quite similar to that of the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°My lord.¡±


    The Phantom of the Black Snake couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Are you truly planning to enter the Heavenly Snake Hall and guide the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent all the way there? But that way, you will be leaving the source of the mothership and probably won¡¯t survive for long.¡±


    Even the spiritual imprints left by a True God are not immortal; they require constant external support.


    ¡°The power of the Heavenly Snake Hall can also support me,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a faint smile. ¡°Besides.¡±


    ¡°I have already fallen. I am not truly alive. What point is there in continuing to barely exist on the mothership?¡±


    The Phantom of the Black Snake fell silent.


    ¡°Liu Bing has pinned her hopes on me.¡±


    ¡°Transferring to the Heavenly Snake Hall, I might be able to survive for a few hundred years, but it can spare her from taking many detours,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a hint of resolve in his eyes. ¡°It may also increase her chances of ascending to Heavenly God status by a considerable margin.¡±


    ¡°These years have been hard on you.¡±


    ¡°From now on, you shall have complete control over the mothership,¡± Qiu Bingzun said to the Phantom of the Black Snake.


    ¡°Yes, my lord,¡± responded the Phantom of the Black Snake, sensing Qiu Bingzun¡¯s resolve and no longer trying to persuade him.


    Whoosh~


    The towering figure with a single horn dissipated with a smile, followed by the Phantom of the Black Snake feeling a powerful spiritual imprint in the essence of the mothership fading away rapidly.


    ¡°The lord¡¯s obsession is to train Liu Bing to ascend to Heavenly God and rebuild our Heavenly Serpent Clan, even if it means erasing his last trace from the world, he faces it calmly,¡± the Phantom of the Black Snake thought sadly. ¡°What about me?¡±


    ¡°What is the value of my existence? To guard this mothership forever?¡±


    ¡­


    In the Quiet Chamber where Li Yuan was cultivating, he didn¡¯t notice at all¡­ Hiss~ A strange power had silently permeated the ¡®Heavenly Snake Hall¡¯ hidden within his battle suit.


    ¡­


    The Heavenly Snake Hall, vast and boundless, was in no way inferior to the Ancient Divine Palace, and perhaps even more advanced. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh~


    The towering figure with a single horn materialized. Not far away, a slender Green Snake rested coiled up.


    ¡°Senior Qiu,¡± Liu Bing was quite excited. ¡°You¡¯ve come.¡±


    Because of bloodline and pacts, she liked Li Yuan from the bottom of her heart and was willing to listen to him.


    But her bond with Qiu Bingzun was built on profound emotions accumulated over long years.


    ¡°Ha-ha.¡±


    ¡°Little Bing, I¡¯ve come to the Heavenly Snake Hall not to continue chatting and talking idly with you as in the past, but to supervise your cultivation,¡± Qiu Bingzun said earnestly.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Liu Bing nodded repeatedly.


    ¡°You have extraordinary talent, destined to reach the peak of a True God, but you must realize one thing: bloodline is an advantage, but it is also a restraint,¡± Qiu Bingzun said seriously.

 Chapter 577 - 329: Level 38.8! Submit or Die (Additional 2)

    Chapter 577: Chapter 329: Level 38.8! Submit or Die (Additional Chapter 2)


    ¡°Bloodline, is it a chain?¡± a hint of confusion flashed in Green Snake¡¯s eyes.


    She had inherited memories and information left by Qiu Bingzun, coupled with her past twenty thousand years of vague memories¡­ but after all, she had just been born, many pieces of knowledge had not yet fully transformed into cognition.


    ¡°You look at your elder brother,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°He is a rare talent among the billions of Human Race beings. He reached Second Rank Limit by the age of twenty with ease¡­ but he certainly also experienced many difficulties.¡±


    ¡°For example, for your birth, he endured three months of Divine Sense tearing pain. If it were you, could you endure it?¡±


    Green Snake couldn¡¯t help shaking her head.


    She knew of Li Yuan¡¯s sacrifices and was even more aware of the tormenting pain¡­ She asked herself and doubted she could persevere.


    ...


    ¡°The soul can grow easily; some treasures can make it grow quickly.¡±


    ¡°But the growth of the heart and mind can only rely on time, relying on events to polish it one by one,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. ¡°Your soul has also reached Flying Heaven Peak¡­ but your willpower is only at Second Rank Limit.¡±


    ¡°Your elder brother? His willpower is probably almost near the Semi-Divine level,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with emotion. ¡°This is incredible.¡±


    Green Snake listened attentively.


    ¡°Think about it, he is only 20 years old now and has grown from weak to strong.¡±


    ¡°If a Human Race powerhouse, without the enhancement of a bloodline, goes through ten thousand years of trials and tribulations and cultivates to the True God Peak, how strong is his mental and willpower?¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°If you just rely on your bloodline and idly become True God Peak, can you compare with those powerhouses?¡±


    ¡°No comparison,¡± Green Snake shook her head.


    ¡°Those born in lowly circumstances who can grow up are one in a million,¡± Qiu Bingzun reflected. ¡°But those who manage to grow up are often the most terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Like those at the pinnacle within the Divine Realm, many have grown step by step from the Unranked.¡±


    ¡°And like you, Little Ice, if you just drift along without effort, your cultivation will become weaker as you proceed,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. ¡°Because your strength has come too easily, too effortlessly.¡±


    ¡°So, once the power of your bloodline is exhausted and you need to rely completely on yourself¡­ it will be difficult,¡± Qiu Bingzun said gravely.


    Green Snake nodded, ¡°Elder Qiu, what should I do?¡±


    ¡°Strive!¡±


    ¡°Bloodline gives you a starting point that surpasses countless lives, so you should strive even harder,¡± Qiu Bingzun said earnestly. ¡°You were born with Seven Star Veins; hence, you should strive to attack Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven phase.¡±


    ¡°Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.¡±


    ¡°I have prepared many training grounds for you, some of which are even life-threatening¡­ If you can persevere, I believe you will surpass most of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpents,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°It is just unknown whether you can achieve it.¡±


    ¡°I can!¡±


    ¡°And I want to rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan with my elder brother,¡± Green Snake said softly, her spirited eyes shining. ¡°I also seek revenge¡­¡± to avenge the deceased clansmen.¡±


    The more than twenty thousand years of vague memories made Green Snake roughly aware of past events.


    She also understood the responsibilities she carried.


    ¡°Good,¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded with satisfaction. ¡°Then for now, go and cultivate the Star Technique. Once you have cultivated three Star Techniques to the Second Rank Limit, I will start your special training.¡±


    ¡°Train movement technique.¡±


    ¡°Comprehend the True Meaning of Wind.¡±


    ¡°Temper willpower.¡±


    ¡°Engage in actual combat.¡±


    ¡°None of these are dispensable,¡± Qiu Bingzun was well aware that in the upcoming brutal training, Liu Bing would likely face moments of being tortured to breakdown, after all, she was just a newly born little one¡­


    But as long as she kept persevering, just persevere!


    Looking back after hundreds of years, Liu Bing would likely have undergone a startling transformation.


    ¡­


    Even with the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s research on the soul was ultimately superficial.


    Therefore, it took him almost half a month before he finally began to grasp the ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± ¡®Semi-Divine Chapter¡¯.


    In the blink of an eye, time had come to the beginning of March 2046.


    Inside that quiet chamber of the mothership.


    ¡°Cultivating this secret technique is much more troublesome than cultivating a Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly: ¡°I have only just achieved minor success.¡±


    Li Yuan estimated that if a Semi-Divine Peak expert were to practice it, with an almost divine soul and the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid, they could probably fully master the ¡®Semi-Divine Chapter¡¯ in one go.


    ¡°However, just to enslave some Flying Heaven level beings, the ¡®Soul Nine Refinements¡¯ that¡¯s just getting started is sufficient,¡± Li Yuan sensed his mental consciousness.


    Compared to the past, it had become much more agile, and its power concentration was also much stronger¡­ Practicing the ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± also significantly boosted his soul attack and soul defense from before.


    ¡°The growth of spiritual power is an unexpected joy,¡± Li Yuan sensed the unprecedented strength of his spiritual power, as his gaze also swept over the Divine Palace panel¡­ spiritual power at level 38.8.


    It is known that before using the Divine Soul Liquid, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense had been weakened after three months of depletion, becoming very feeble¡­ But in just this short half a month, not only had Li Yuan¡¯s past injuries fully recovered, but he had also progressed further.


    ¡°I previously thought that even with the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡¯ during the Prime Warrior phase, it would probably only grow to around level 39, and it would be extremely difficult to transform into the Semi-Divine level,¡± Li Yuan mused inwardly. ¡°Now it seems that in another year or two, I should be able to reach 39.9 level.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°I could try to strike for Semi-Divine level spiritual power during the Prime Warrior phase,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes held a glimmer of light.


    Semi-Divine level spiritual power would accelerate Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the mysteries of the heaven and earth.


    At the same time, it would also further raise the maximum limit of his Spiritual Awakening; perhaps he could advance to 70% or even 75%.


    ¡°The growth of the mental body, the comprehension of True Intent, will make my awakening of the Star Meridian even faster.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, there is hope to initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times,¡± Li Yuan pondered inwardly. ¡°If I can initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times, there is a great chance that I will awaken to the Eight Star Veins during the Prime Warrior stage.¡±


    Purely relying on myself? Li Yuan was fairly confident in breaking through to the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior, but the Eight Star Veins were difficult¡ªprobably not until reaching the Flying Heaven Level or even the Semi-Divine Level would there be hope.


    In the past, Li Yuan had simply set his goal on ¡®Eight Star Veins.¡¯


    However, after encountering Qiu Bingzun and understanding the vast expanse of heaven and earth, the significance of the Eight Star Veins became clearer, and Li Yuan¡¯s yearning grew even stronger.


    ¡°Perhaps I should first achieve the Seven Star Veins, and then at the Flying Heaven or Semi-Divine Levels, I could further awaken the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan pondered inwardly. ¡°The earlier the breakthrough, the better.¡±


    If the Eight Star Veins could be achieved early on,


    then at the Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine Levels, every single Star Vein could be strengthened.


    The Eight Star Veins, among the countless powerful beings of the Divine Realm, were already considered an unparalleled genius.


    What kind of genius would one be with Eight Star Veins, plus four or even five Perfect Star Veins?


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s time to act.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan used his authority to directly open the Quiet Chamber.


    Swoosh!


    He transformed into a streak of light, soaring along the metallic corridors, heading straight for the testing grounds where Xue Yan was.


    ¡°It¡¯s not far, I can arrive in six minutes,¡± Li Yuan knew precisely where Xue Yan was.


    ¡­


    Inside an enormous secret chamber within the mothership¡¯s inner layer,


    ¡°This damn trial is really difficult!¡± The Black Garment Youth ¡®Xue Yan¡¯ stared at the distant massive stone wall which was covered in a multitude of Secret Runes that came together to form various patterns.


    In front of Xue Yan, similar Mark patterns were being condensed with Origin Power.


    ¡°With my True Intent at the High Rank, condensing this divine seal is still so tough. What could possibly be hidden in the core of this inner layer to make it so difficult?¡± Xue Yan frowned.


    After more than five months in the mothership, he was quite anxious inside.


    But anxiety was pointless.


    He could either give up or continue striving.


    ¡°Focus and strive.¡±


    ¡°The core of this inner layer may very well contain treasures left behind by a True God,¡± Xue Yan pondered inwardly. ¡°In the history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, we only managed to birth a single True God, yet the foundation left by these gods allowed for the continuous emergence of Pseudo-Gods in our civilization, making it one of the strong civilizations within the Dimensional Domain¡­ A treasure left by a True God is unimaginable.¡±


    As an Inner Sect Disciple of a Divine, even at Second Rank, his vision was extraordinarily high.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The massive door to the secret chamber suddenly opened.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Xue Yan was puzzled and turned to look, only to see a figure clad in black battle suit standing behind the door, with an indistinct face.


    Only a pair of eyes stared coldly at him.


    ¡°Second Rank? How can there be such a strong aura?¡± Xue Yan was shocked and stood up on guard, eyeing Li Yuan.


    Although Li Yuan¡¯s body had reached level 30, his Sea of Origin Power did not possess an Origin Pill¡­ This pill, when condensed, would create a special force field and aura around the body, which are the signs of a Third Rank Life.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Xue Yan asked warily, not daring to make any rash moves.


    The incident happened too abruptly; just moments ago, he was receiving an inheritance. According to the Alien God Envoy, he should not be disturbed before the time was up¡­ Xue Yan was completely bewildered.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan made his move directly; in the instant he acted, his body transformed into a height of five meters.


    He directly deployed his Body Refining Star Technique! Bursting out with full power! S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Not good.¡± Xue Yan¡¯s face turned pale, realizing that the visitor meant harm. With incredibly fast reflexes, he immediately erupted into action.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t be bothered to use his Black Chen Spear. He struck Xue Yan directly and then harshly slapped out a palm so fast that even Xue Yan¡ªa ¡®Divine Child Level genius¡¯¡ªcould not dodge in time and had to instinctively swing his Combat Saber in defense.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The palm struck the Combat Saber, and the terrifying force swept through it¡­ The Combat Saber was flung away, and Xue Yan himself was smacked flying.


    ¡°Bang!!¡± Xue Yan crashed against the nearby metal wall hard, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood with force.


    With one palm, Xue Yan was severely injured.


    A flicker of terror flashed across his eyes as he stared at the cold and Godlike figure standing not far away.


    ¡°Who¡­ who on earth are you?¡± Xue Yan asked, his voice low and teeth gritted.


    He felt that the other party was not intent on killing him; otherwise, he would have already been dead following that first palm strike.


    Suddenly,


    Xue Yan seemed to realize something and almost lost his voice, ¡°Are you the Spirit Gun from the Seven Star Civilization? Have you already gained the treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine?¡±


    In the brief moment, this was the only possibility Xue Yan could think of.


    ¡°No need for many questions.¡±


    ¡°I only ask you one thing,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice cold. ¡°Are you willing to submit to me?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t submit, then die!¡±

 Chapter 578 - 330: Return of the Spirit Gun

    Chapter 578: Chapter 330: Return of the Spirit Gun


    Xue Yan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    Subjugation? Or death? The mysterious figure resembling a Spirit Gun actually wanted him to submit?


    For a moment, Xue Yan didn¡¯t know whether to call the other party confident or foolish, but he did feel the killing intent emanating from the mysterious man.


    If he refused to submit, he was probably going to die.


    ¡°Xue Yan, I¡¯m giving you five seconds to decide. If you don¡¯t agree, then die,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice-cold, ¡°Five, four, three¡­¡±


    Huff!


    ...


    ¡°I am willing to submit.¡± Xue Yan suddenly knelt on one knee and said solemnly, ¡°I, ¡®Xue Yan¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Civilization, am willing to submit to my master.¡±


    However, in reality, Xue Yan¡¯s mind was cold, filled with murderous intent.


    Master? Once he escaped from the Mingxu Star Realm, in the future, he must find a way to kill this idiot.


    Of course, Xue Yan also understood that the mysterious man in front of him had probably obtained the ultimate treasure of the Civilization Mothership, allowing him such authority.


    But!


    So what if he obtained the treasure? As long as he was free, returning to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the other party couldn¡¯t do anything to him.


    A true man can bend and stretch; as long as he could survive, Xue Yan didn¡¯t mind temporarily bowing his head.


    ¡°It¡¯s really maddening! If not for the encounter with those fools, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, using up the life-saving Secret Treasure, I could have escaped,¡± Xue Yan cursed inwardly.


    Earlier, just after entering the Divine Land, he had used the life-saving treasure bestowed by his master, the Bei Yue Deity.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°This is the mark of a wise man, Xue Yan. You are a talent, and talent is precious,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    How could he not understand Xue Yan¡¯s thoughts?


    Superficial submission probably meant thinking about how to bite back at him.


    ¡°Words alone are not proof,¡± Li Yuan looked down at him, ¡°Swear an oath under the Law of the Great Dao.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xue Yan inwardly scoffed, ¡°Really an idiot. Oaths under the Law? The oath only takes effect once I Ascend to God, and violating it wouldn¡¯t take my life.¡±


    Oaths under the Law indeed have binding power.


    But they cannot control one¡¯s innermost thoughts, nor will they directly kill the oath-maker.


    What if one violates the Law¡¯s oath? The most serious backlash is continuous retribution by the Great Dao, and the speed of understanding the Mysteries of the Law would slow down.


    Compared to becoming a servant, one¡¯s life is naturally more important.


    But for Xue Yan, his lifelong goal had been to become a Fifth Rank Divine¡­ An oath under the Law? He didn¡¯t fear it at all at the moment.


    Those worried about the Law¡¯s oaths were often the ones who ardently wished for power.


    ¡°An oath under the Law?¡±


    Xue Yan¡¯s face seemed to show a struggle, and after a long hesitation, he asked, ¡°May I know the name of my master?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was cold, ¡°What, is swearing an oath under the Law such a dilemma for you?¡±


    Up to this point, Li Yuan had not revealed his ¡®Li Yuan¡¯ identity.


    He was worried Xue Yan might possess some secret treasure for communication, and before he had absolute control of the situation, he had to be cautious in his actions.


    Xue Yan¡¯s expression showed struggle, but as if making a resolution, he slowly said, ¡°I, swear by the Law of the Great Dao¡­¡±


    He quickly established a Law oath.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Xue Yan, now let go of your soul¡¯s defenses. I need to place a restriction in your soul to prevent your betrayal,¡± Li Yuan said coldly.


    ¡°Soul Restriction?¡± The color drained from Xue Yan¡¯s face, and this time, he was truly shocked.


    He knew very well that among the Divine, there were many secret treasures capable of controlling servants, and if one were to betray¡­


    Once the restriction was activated, the servant¡¯s end would be very miserable.


    ¡°What, unwilling?¡± Li Yuan stared coldly, ¡°Were you just pretending earlier? Do you truly not wish to submit to me within your heart?¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, this restriction won¡¯t take your life, nor will it affect you. After placing this restriction, I will send you back to the Myriad Demons Civilization to keep sending me information,¡± Li Yuan said coldly, offering a big incentive.


    Xue Yan was moved by the thought of being sent back.


    He had assumed that Spirit Gun would take him back to the Seven Star Civilization, but if he was allowed to return¡­ Soul Restriction?


    Within the Myriad Demons Civilization, there were several Divine beings. Surely they could undo a Second Rank Life¡¯s Soul Restriction?


    Regardless, a glimmer of hope arose in Xue Yan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°I am naturally willing to submit to my master,¡± Xue Yan¡¯s voice was low, ¡°Fine, I will release the restriction, but I hope my master will be cautious¡­ Placing a Soul Restriction, if not careful, I fear it might cause injury.¡±


    Physical injury could be healed with Origin Power.


    But if the soul were injured, at best, it would lead to severe vitality loss, at worst, one could become an imbecile or even face soul collapse.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    ¡°Relax, don¡¯t resist,¡± Li Yuan looked down at him, already silently using ¡®Soul Nine Refinements.¡¯


    Whoosh~


    An invisible Spiritual Fluctuation swept forth, piercing directly into Xue Yan¡¯s soul like a sharp spike.


    ¡°Ah~¡± Xue Yan felt an intense pain in his soul.


    ¡°Don¡¯t struggle, it¡¯s normal to feel pain. It¡¯s just one restriction, and it will be over quickly. If you resist, then don¡¯t blame me if your soul collapses,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was cold as he continued to bluff.


    In fact, if Xue Yan resisted with all his might, it would be difficult for Li Yuan to fully control him; at the very least, Xue Yan could destroy his own soul.


    After all, Li Yuan¡¯s soul was only at the Flying Heaven Level, and although much stronger than his opponent, there was no intrinsic difference between them.


    Beings like Demigods and Pseudo-Gods, when controlling enemies with Soul Control, often first severely damaged the opponent¡¯s soul with Soul Attacks, rendering the target unable to struggle¡­ Li Yuan could not do such a thing.


    But Li Yuan could bluff. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And sure enough!


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s coercion, Xue Yan dared not resist, enduring the intense soul pain as Li Yuan continually worked within his soul¡­ The entire process lasted about ten minutes.


    Suddenly, Xue Yan felt something was not right; he sensed many thoughts rising within his heart. A flash of light in his eyes and a trace of fear emerged, ¡°No! This isn¡¯t a Soul Restriction! It¡¯s a method of Soul Control.¡±

 Chapter 579 - 330: Return of the Spirit Gun_2

    Chapter 579: Chapter 330: Return of the Spirit Gun_2


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°I refuse to be controlled by Soul Control!¡± Xue Yan suddenly erupted in a roar, his eyes flashing with resolute determination.


    On the surface, submit? Imposed Soul Restriction? Xue Yan still felt there was hope to break free.


    But to be controlled by the soul? That would be the end of everything!


    Bam~


    A heavy palm slammed down on Xue Yan¡¯s body, smacking his recently healed body back to the ground, as fresh blood spurted out again, leaving him powerless to resist.


    ...


    ¡°Finally realized it?¡±


    ¡°Too late!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice-cold as he suddenly sent nine thoughts crashing like a torrent into Xue Yan¡¯s soul.


    The final step of Soul Control began¡ªHeart Control.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Xue Yan tried to struggle, to destroy his own soul, but to his horror, he found that he could no longer manipulate it.


    In the past ten minutes, Li Yuan had had free rein¡­ and now Xue Yan had lost the right to control his own soul.


    ¡°It¡¯s over!!¡± Despair filled Xue Yan¡¯s heart along with a surge of resentment: ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have, I shouldn¡¯t have.¡±


    ¡°Damn Spirit Gun, to actually be able to use Soul Control? To deceive me?¡±


    He would rather die than be controlled by the soul.


    ¡­


    One minute later.


    ¡°Master!¡± A bloodied Xue Yan knelt on the ground, his eyes full of reverence: ¡°Xue Yan greets his master.¡±


    This time, it came from the heart. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Haha, good.¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile, his eyes also showing a hint of fatigue.


    Practicing Soul Control in a real fight was very exhausting.


    But the cost was worth it; through the Soul Imprint, Li Yuan could clearly feel Xue Yan¡¯s thoughts were absolutely submissive.


    This was true enslavement.


    Methods like Soul Restriction, Oaths of Law, Servant Contracts, and so on could not control the inner thoughts of servants¡­ only Soul Control could change a person¡¯s heart.


    ¡°The current top genius of the Myriad Demons Civilization, just like that under my control.¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Li Yuan also felt a sense of caution: ¡°In the future, I must be wary of enemies, never to fall under Soul Control¡­ once controlled, it¡¯s almost as good as death.¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s worse than death.¡±


    At a master¡¯s command, a servant would not hesitate to kill his own spouse and children and would believe from his heart that it was the right thing to do.


    How terrifying was that?


    Of course.


    Soul Control was not an absolute measure; there were as many as four ways to remove it, the first being the master lifting the control.


    The second was to kill the master; once the master died, the Soul Imprint would naturally dissipate.


    The third was the servant¡¯s strength growing over time and breaking through the Soul Imprint¡¯s seal with their increasingly strong soul power, slowly regaining freedom without realizing it.


    The fourth was to find a super-strong being proficient in souls to help break the Soul Imprint.


    ¡°The ¡®Soul Nine Refinements¡¯, even among the Heavenly Divine, is a Method created by powerful beings,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°Even though the Soul Imprint I set up is weak, it would still require someone at the True God Peak to break it without damaging Xue Yan¡¯s soul.¡±


    Of course, if Xue Yan wanted to regain freedom on his own, then reaching the Pseudo-God Peak was probably enough¡­ after all, the Soul Imprint Li Yuan had set was only at the ¡®Semi Divine Level¡¯.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°It will take Xue Yan a very, very long time to reach the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°Wait until I am stronger and have practiced the ¡®Pseudo-God Level Soul Imprint¡¯, then I can rebrand it onto his soul,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Soul Control was not a once-and-for-all thing, but the benefits were immense, yielding an absolutely loyal servant.


    ¡°Xue Yan.¡±


    ¡°I will soon let you go.¡±


    ¡°After you return to the Myriad Demons Civilization, focus on cultivating yourself,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°I will have the intelligence network contact you secretly, and you can pass back some intelligence regularly, the specifics¡­ remember, before you Ascend to God, remember to transmit a message to me.¡±


    With Xue Yan¡¯s talent, even though his potential was greatly reduced by the Soul Imprint, there was still hope of Ascending to God.


    And Li Yuan would also attempt to help him continuously.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Xue Yan said respectfully: ¡°Master, do you need the inheritance and treasures I obtained earlier?¡±


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°When you go back this time, you¡¯re not a failure, but a success,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°After returning, do not reveal the secrets of the Mothership¡¯s Inner Layer¡­ Tell the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, just say there are six Divine Being Inheritances hidden inside the Mothership¡­¡±


    Sooner or later, the Seven Star Civilization would definitely have geniuses coming to accept the Alien God inheritance from the Mothership, and the news would spread eventually.


    Therefore, protecting Xue Yan¡¯s identity was very important.


    ¡°You also should not stay in the Ming Xu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan enjoined: ¡°Go directly back to the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Xue Yan nodded.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan arranged all the details for Xue Yan¡­ using his authority on the Mothership, he allowed Xue Yan to leave the Mothership.


    ¡°The game is afoot.¡±


    ¡°Should Xue Yan one day become the leader of the Myriad Demons Civilization, that would be quite fun,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes held a hint of expectation.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization posed a great threat to the Seven Star Civilization¡­ and with centuries of hatred, especially Feixing¡¯s destruction, the Seven Star Civilization was desperate for revenge.


    Myriad Demons Civilization yearned to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.


    The Seven Star Civilization wished to extinguish the Myriad Demons Civilization just as much.


    ¡­


    Not long after, almost repeating his previous tactics, Li Yuan once again subdued Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Naturally, the process was much harder.


    Because the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was too strong, with a Life Level as high as 36 levels and the inheritance he had recently received, Li Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.


    The gap at the base level was too obvious.


    Compelled, Li Yuan had to use his Mothership authority to completely subdue Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    But after being completely subdued, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was rather straightforward, and Li Yuan easily employed the ¡®Soul Imprint¡¯ to fully control him.


    ¡°Master,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, resembling a Fire Kirin, said respectfully.

    Chapter 580: Chapter 330: The Return of the Spirit Gun_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°Can you, alone, be certain of controlling the Mingxu Beast Clan?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°I can.¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied with full confidence.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to hand over the inheritance you received to me; keep it for yourself, and cultivate diligently. Strive to become a demigod in the future.¡± Li Yuan waved his hand. ¡°Additionally, you may choose some of these Fifth Layer Star Masters and Sixth Layer Star Techniques to study.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan bestowed some Star Techniques upon Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    ...


    Bound by the oath of the Law, Li Yuan dared not divulge anything above the Seventh Layer Star Techniques, as per the demands of Qiu Bingzun.


    But the Seven Stars Technique and below? Qiu Bingzun allowed Li Yuan to teach it to anyone he wished.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor felt that Li Yuan treated him, his servant, extremely well.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, first take care of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°That fool.¡± A glint of murderous intent shone in Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s eyes. ¡°He actually thought of killing my master before; there¡¯s no need for Master to act, I¡¯ll kill him myself later.¡±


    In the past, the Three Great Beast Emperors were like brothers¡­ But now, an enemy of Li Yuan was an enemy of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you, go meet him.¡±


    The two quickly left the Inner Layer and flew towards the exterior of the Mothership.


    ¡­


    Outside, within a Quiet Chamber.


    The enormous Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor lay quietly here.


    ¡°Damn it! The portal has been closed all this time, I¡¯ve been unable to leave the Mothership,¡± muttered the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to himself. ¡°Could it be that Myriad Scales never entered the control room?¡±


    If the exit portal were open, he would have long run away.


    ¡°However, hiding here all this time, probably even the Spirit Gun can¡¯t find me,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor mused quietly.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The doors of the Quiet Chamber were flung open, startling the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to the extreme, his heart pounding as he turned to look.


    Upon seeing the figure by the door, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. ¡°Myriad Scales, you¡¯ve come out? How did it go?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already dealt with the Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°And I¡¯ve obtained the inheritance from the Inner Layer. Come on out,¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor warmly beckoned.


    ¡°Okay.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, without any suspicion, swiftly flew towards Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Utterly unguarded.


    Years of camaraderie had made him trust Myriad Scales Beast Emperor considerably.


    Just as they drew close to each other.


    ¡°Roar~¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor suddenly opened his maw wide, fiercely biting towards the neck of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± His hooves also ferociously clawed at the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s chest and heart.


    Splurt~Boom! Blood splattered in an instant.


    ¡°Myriad Scales!!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was severely wounded in a blink, his mind clouded, barely able to comprehend what happened.


    ¡°Dare to pursue and kill my master, you deserve to die!¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, filled with killing intent.


    Boom~


    The doors of the chamber slammed shut again, leaving the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor no chance to escape.

    Two minutes later.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The doors burst open, and Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, covered in blood, flew out of the chamber and respectfully approached Li Yuan. ¡°Master, these are the treasures left by Heaven Snake.¡±


    ¡°Good job.¡± Li Yuan collected the treasures, even more pleased with Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was very powerful.


    With such a servant under him, the Mingxu Star Realm was as stable as Mount Tai; even if he were to leave, there would be no upheaval.


    However, the downside was that Myriad Scales Beast Emperor could only stay in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    As for the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor? Li Yuan had never intended to enslave him; it would have been a waste of a quota.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Xue Yan to return first to eliminate any suspicion of himself.¡±


    ¡°We shall continue to cultivate quietly within the Mothership for another two days,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor naturally complied.


    ¡­


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Continue cultivating,¡± Li Yuan was not one to waste time and continued to press on with his cultivation.


    The Visualization Method, though painful and torturous, could not be neglected.


    Understanding the Mystery of heaven and earth, observing the myriad Treasures for Assisting Cultivation, was also the fruit of accumulated effort over the days and months.


    Two days later.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± said Li Yuan, transforming into a beam of light that flew towards the portal, with Myriad Scales Beast Emperor quickly following.


    ¡­


    Atop the towering Ming Mountain, spanning thousands of kilometers.


    The once beautiful Heavenly Serpent Lake had become battered and dilapidated, no longer possessing its former splendor.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two figures burst forth from the bottom, shooting out of the water¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Myriad Scales, have you remembered all my instructions?¡± Li Yuan looked at Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    ¡°I have remembered,¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied respectfully. ¡°Master, I will swiftly gather the Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan, then lead them to attack the Tianliang Civilization base.¡±


    ¡°In doing so, we will not only destroy the Tianliang Civilization but also quietly deplete the strength of the Mingxu Beast Clan.¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor stated earnestly, ¡°Everything is for the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Now, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor also considered himself a member of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.


    Destroying the base of the Tianliang Civilization was not difficult, as long as they used the power of the Mothership. Artillery firing from tens of thousands of miles away could probably kill most of the Initial Rank Flying Heaven warriors.


    But!!!


    That would expose the fact that the Seven Star Civilization had completely taken control of the Civilization Mothership¡­ Naturally, it would increase the risk of exposing Xue Yan.


    Furthermore, the remaining strength of the Mingxu Beast Clan was still too strong.


    It was uncontrollable.


    Thus, Li Yuan¡¯s plan was to hide his own identity, pretending that ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ had acquired only one of the Six Great Alien Gods¡¯ inheritances.


    Then, he would have Myriad Scales Beast Emperor lead the Mingxu Beast Clan to clash with the Tianliang Civilization¡­ Unknowingly and utterly disintegrating the Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s power.


    Until the entire territory and resources of the Mingxu Star Realm were completely under the control of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Go ahead,¡± Li Yuan instructed. ¡°I¡¯ll continue to stay in the Mingxu Star Realm for a while longer. If anything comes up, you can contact me through the soul branding.¡±


    Master and Soul Servant could communicate through the soul; the stronger their souls, the farther apart they could be and still make contact.


    In fact, if both parties¡¯ souls were powerful enough, they could even contact each other across different Dimensional Planes.

    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor nodded.


    Immediately, he transformed into a stream of light and left. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Having obtained the ¡®Mothership Map Access¡¯ granted by Li Yuan, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor could easily locate each Beast King¡­ and with the cumulative authority of his years as the Beast Emperor, coupled with the demise of the other two great Beast Emperors¡­ it was clear he would have little trouble taking control of the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare to return,¡± Li Yuan watched as the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor departed.


    ¡°This trip to Ming Mountain has brought tremendous gains. In terms of wealth and treasures, I surpass many demigods of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°In terms of heritage¡­ considering the magnitude, probably the entire civilization¡¯s accumulation isn¡¯t comparable to mine.¡±


    All things considered, Li Yuan had already received two True God Heritages, one from an Earth System True God and another from a Wind System True God.


    ...


    ¡°I¡¯ve also received help from little Bing, a future True God Peak powerhouse,¡± Li Yuan felt full of purpose, ¡°All these accumulations.¡±


    ¡°Next.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s to cultivate step by step. Now, I have become the Prime Warrior of the civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the future, it is to strive to become the strongest Flying Heaven Warrior, the strongest demigod,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯m not looking to compete with the geniuses in Seven Star Civilization¡¯s history.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s with the Third Rank and Fourth Rank geniuses in the Divine Realm,¡± Li Yuan mused silently.


    The talents from the vast Divine Realm were the benchmarks for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Until one day, utterly eradicate all threats from the Star Realms and make my Seven Star Civilization truly powerful,¡± Li Yuan held this aspiration in his heart, ¡°To become as strong as the Immortal Ruins Civilization, or even stronger.¡±


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization is the epitome of absolute power.


    Over the long years, the Immortal Ruins Civilization never worried about invasions from other civilizations within the Dimensional Domain.


    ¡°Back to Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°Settle everything, then I¡¯ll return to Xia Country to see my uncle and aunt,¡± Li Yuan knew.


    It had been half a year without news, and even though Yu Jinghe had sent a message back, the higher-ups of the civilization probably wouldn¡¯t reveal much to his uncle and aunt.


    The family must be very anxious.


    Swoosh! Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, soaring into the sky.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan had just flown out of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    At the Bright Moon Base, inside a Fourth Rank Battleship in the conference room, only one Life Crystal remained.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe said Spirit Gun is still alive.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s been so long without any news,¡± Tavares sighed softly.


    ¡°He might have been alive then, but what about now?¡± Jiang Zai also shook his head.


    Both were filled with concern.


    As Flying Heaven Warriors, they could not leave the Mingxu Star Realm, naturally fearing the eventual need for a mass exodus.


    It¡¯s not that they feared death, but they didn¡¯t wish for it.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The previously white Life Crystal suddenly burst into a dazzling red light.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai were first stunned, then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.


    Whirr~


    In the center of the conference room, a huge light screen suddenly emerged, displaying a figure in black battle suit, who appeared to be flying at high speed.


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°He really came out?¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai were thrilled.


    ¡°That excited, huh?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice carried a hint of a smile, ¡°Send the message to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the others, just say that I have received Divine Being Inheritance and have come out alive.¡±


    ¡°Before long.¡±


    ¡°You will also be able to enter Divine Land, to attempt to receive Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    There are many benefits within the Civilization Mothership, which Li Yuan might disregard, but they would be useful for most Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Good! Good.¡±


    ¡°Divine Being Inheritance?¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai were both astounded and overjoyed.


    ¡­


    ¡°Spirit Gun has returned.¡± This news spread at an astonishing speed, swiftly reaching Fang Hai, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, and the others.

    In the Bright Moon Base, Li Yuan had already returned from Ming Mountain.


    Within a Fourth Rank Battleship, Li Yuan had finished his exchange with Tavares, Jiang Zai, and others. Dozens of warriors wielding Flying Heaven Level combat power, who had been informed by the base, had just departed.


    Within the Quiet Chamber.


    Li Yuan settled down and logged directly into V-Chat through the battleship¡¯s virtual network.


    Separated by different worlds, smart wristbands couldn¡¯t connect to the virtual networks on Blue Star or Feixing. One must rely on the battleship or the base¡¯s network.


    Upon logging in, he found an overwhelming number of unread messages.

    ¡°Uncle sent 8 messages, aunt over 20, Qian Qian sent me 10 messages, Muhua¡­ 2 messages.¡± Li Yuan first noticed the messages from family members pinned at the top of the chat.


    Li Yuan clicked to open the chat with his uncle.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, why haven¡¯t you been in touch? Have you been busy with your training lately¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, send a message home when you have the time¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, Provincial Hall Master Yang has informed us. You¡¯re undergoing closed-off training to surpass the Flying Heaven Level¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, everything at home is fine, with me here, you can train with peace of mind¡­¡± In recent months, Uncle Li Changzhou had been sending a message every month, all with the same content.


    And Aunt¡¯s messages were clearly filled with worry, but she didn¡¯t dare to say outright, ¡°Xiao Yuan, even if you must endure tough training, remember to take good care of yourself¡­¡±


    ¡­He read through each of the family messages one by one.


    For some reason, Li Yuan¡¯s eyes started to moisten, and he suddenly felt the urge to go home immediately.


    It had been a long time since he had spent proper time with his family.


    ¡°Other people who attend Martial Arts University get a month¡¯s vacation each year.¡± A touch of guilt arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°But I only attended university for one year before heading to the Martial Divine Star Realm¡­ Apart from making my uncle and aunt worry¡­¡±


    At this moment, Li Yuan fully understood that infamous saying: ¡®The moment you become an adult, you¡¯ve already spent most of the time you¡¯ll ever have with your parents.¡¯


    Although Li Yuan was now astonishingly wealthy and highly esteemed, with his family living without worry and even in comfort.


    But affection is not something that can be purely measured by money. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan quickly began replying to his uncle and aunt: ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ve come out of the intensive training, and in at most half a month, I should be able to come home¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Besides family, there were many friends and relatives, such as his good brother from high school, Zhou Qi, Li Tianyou, and others, as well as good friends like Gu Qianghan and Shi Xiao.


    There were also peers like Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Dantai Feng, Alicia, and others who had entered the Martial Divine Star Realm together.


    And many elder friends as well.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve become a 15th Rank Martial Artist and am about to venture into a Star Realm for the first time.¡± This was a message from Li Tianyou, sent a month ago. He was already in his third year.


    Apparently, as years passed, Li Tianyou had been doing very well at Jiangbei Martial University.


    As for people like Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang, their skills had reached Fifth Stage High Rank¡­


    Alicia¡¯s growth was even more terrifying; she was at Fifth Stage Perfection, and she was expected to become a member of Seven Star Mountain by July this year, the brightest rising star in the Martial Divine Star Realm this year.


    Alicia had sent a lot of messages, more than ten, a rather large number among his friends. Her words also reflected worry.


    ¡°It seems!¡±


    ¡°In the Martial Divine Star Realm, Duanmu Mountain Master must have announced that I was participating in closed-off intensive training,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, how are your training sessions going in Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± This was a message from Li Yang a few months ago.


    Upon seeing this message, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly.


    In fact, he had just seen Teacher Li Yang.


    But for the sake of secrecy, Li Yuan had never acknowledged him, so Li Yang had no idea that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve become a 28th Rank Origin Martial Artist. It looks like there¡¯s hope for me to become a Top Level Origin Martial Artist in this lifetime. Haha, remember to tell me when you get back to Jiang City.¡± This was a message from Wan Qinghe.


    It was sent five months ago.


    Li Yuan could sense ¡®Uncle Wan¡¯ must be brimming with high spirits.


    ¡­


    This world, clearly, did not stop just because Li Yuan had disappeared, but continued to move forward uninterrupted, and his family and friends were all living their lives.


    But they had all been continuously worried about Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan replied to each message one by one. It took a long time before he finished replying to all of them, and then his gaze fell on one particular chat box.


    Because, among everyone, the one who sent the most messages wasn¡¯t his aunt, but¡ªLin Lanyue.


    Unread messages 99+


    There were over a hundred messages.


    ¡°Lanyue.¡± Li Yuan was dazed for a long time.


    He gently clicked, and the earliest message was from last November.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I heard Mingxu Star Realm won a big victory in the war; take extra care.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t heard from you for a long time. I pressed San Ye Semi Divine for answers, and she told me that your Life Crystal had dimmed, possibly fallen in Mingxu Star Realm¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to believe it. I went to Fierce Feather Star Realm and asked the Boundary Spirit, but he couldn¡¯t confirm if you were dead or alive either¡­¡±


    ¡°I believe in you, you definitely wouldn¡¯t just die like that¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯re alive. I¡¯m still looking forward to the day you become Divine.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve reached Fifth Stage Perfection in my skills. According to tradition, I should celebrate and invite Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and others¡­ I¡¯ll wait for you to return before celebrating¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°It¡¯s snowing in Martial Divine Star Realm; this is my first time seeing it, and you¡¯re in Mingxu Star Realm¡ªI believe you¡¯re just temporarily stranded somewhere¡­¡±


    ¡°During the Spring Festival, I visited Jiang City once to wish uncle and aunt a Happy New Year. They seem to be in good health, and they apparently don¡¯t know you¡¯re Spirit Gun; don¡¯t worry¡­¡±


    ¡°You must live.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you to come back¡­¡±


    ¡­


    One message after another struck Li Yuan¡¯s heart indescribably; he felt something inside being stirred.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s heart, Lin Lanyue held a very special place.


    And this time, adopting the name ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ to enter the Martial Divine Star Realm, those who knew his true identity, like Luo Chan, Yan Jing, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine¡­ either were not that close, or they were all elders.


    Simply put, purely in terms of emotions, their connections were not that deep.


    Whereas for close relatives and friends who were extremely affectionate, most were unaware of the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯s fall.


    Only Lin Lanyue, by virtue of her status, was sufficiently high-ranking, and as a disciple of the Divine, she was able to converse with San Ye Semi-Divine and knew Li Yuan was Spirit Gun.


    In terms of emotions, hers were much deeper than those of Luo Chan and Dantai Feng.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe has been out for quite some time.¡±


    ¡°But it seems the higher-ups of civilization have been keeping it a secret,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Even Tavares and Jiang Zai only know Yu Jinghe is alive and out; none of these high-ranking individuals from the Star Realms knew I was alive before.¡±


    ¡°To keep it secret, of course, the higher-ups wouldn¡¯t inform Lin Lanyue voluntarily.¡±


    After a long contemplation,


    Li Yuan activated his special privilege and, through the warship, directly called Lin Lanyue¡¯s communicator.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside an ultra-large mansion,


    This was Lin Lanyue¡¯s residence.


    ¡°Uncle, what is it this time?¡± Lin Lanyue frowned and said, looking at the figure on the screen.


    ¡°Lanyue, the family still hopes you can attend this latest meeting,¡± the middle-aged man in the screen said with a wry smile. ¡°Consider it doing a favor for your uncle.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯ve always been good to me, and I can agree to anything else¡­ but I won¡¯t participate in the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s meetings right now,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    ¡°The patriarch said when you reach the Flying Heaven Level, it will be your time to take over as clan leader,¡± the middle-aged man sighed. ¡°Those elders, they all want to meet you now.¡±


    ¡°Meet me for what now?¡±


    Lin Lanyue shook her head, ¡°I won¡¯t meddle in the clan¡¯s affairs right now. I just want to quietly cultivate. If they have any issues, they should organize their materials and bring them to the Alliance¡¯s Disciplinary Committee.¡±


    ¡°Are you really going to turn the family upside down?¡± the uncle said with a wry smile. ¡°About what happened to your mother¡­¡±


    ¡°Uncle!¡±


    Lin Lanyue cut him off directly, speaking in a low voice, ¡°You don¡¯t need to lecture me. If those elders are afraid I¡¯ll trouble them in the future, let them go to the patriarch and ask the patriarch to rescind the decision.¡±


    The middle-aged man was at a loss for words.


    Rescind the decision? The Flame City Semi-Divine had long stated that Lin Lanyue was the most promising in the Blazing Flame Family to become Semi-Divine¡­ how could it be rescinded?


    ¡°Alright, if you truly don¡¯t want to return, so be it.¡±


    ¡°I will try my best to placate the elders,¡± the middle-aged man sighed. ¡°Take care while cultivating in the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly and hung up the phone.


    She was very grateful to her uncle as, back when Li Changzhou was injured, it was she who sought him out to ask for a treasure to be sent overnight from Feixing to Blue Star¡­


    But towards the Blazing Flame Family¡­ Lin Lanyue had extremely complex feelings.


    Not long after hanging up.


    ¡°Master, ¡®Li Yuan,¡¯ whom you specially follow, is requesting communication,¡± the assistant AI¡¯s voice rang out.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s body trembled slightly, her eyes gaining a glint of disbelief.


    ¡°Master, would you like to take the call?¡± the AI¡¯s voice sounded again.


    ¡°Take it!¡± Lin Lanyue said immediately.


    *Drip* The communication connected.


    ¡°Lanyue, it¡¯s me,¡± a deep voice sounded.


    Lin Lanyue abruptly covered her mouth, tears faintly visible in her eyes, yet she made no sound.


    ¡°I saw the messages you sent,¡± the deep voice continued, pausing for quite a while before adding, ¡°The conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm shouldn¡¯t last too long. I¡¯ll return to the Martial Divine Star Realm soon.¡±


    ¡°Wait for me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, be careful,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes glistened with tears, but her voice remained calm.


    She didn¡¯t ask for reasons from Li Yuan, knowing his importance to the entire civilization.


    Silently,


    The barrier between them seemed to be slowly dissolving.


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Having hung up, Li Yuan felt much calmer inside; after a while, he quietly resumed his cultivation.


    Not long after,


    Another communication arrived, and with a raised eyebrow, Li Yuan clicked to answer the call: ¡°Principal, it¡¯s me.¡±


    ¡°Your news vanished for half a year, scaring us all to death. Both Bai Shan Semi-Divine and I were really worried you died in the Divine Land,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice came through.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Brother Yu come out first?¡± Li Yuan immediately said.


    ¡°We knew you weren¡¯t dead, but since Yu Jinghe didn¡¯t reveal too much, how could we not worry?¡± Fang Hai sighed. ¡°After all, according to what Yu Jinghe said, that Divine Land involves more than one Divine.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, it¡¯s a big involvement,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    While he couldn¡¯t reveal the Heavenly Serpent Divine, the exterior of the Mothership was impossible to hide.


    ¡°How about it? Are you confident of taking Ming Xu Star Realm now?¡± Fang Hai asked.


    ¡°I am one hundred percent certain,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Good,¡± Fang Hai laughed. ¡°Now, enter the virtual network, Starfire Space.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch wants to see you.¡±

 Chapter 583 - 332: Meeting the Alliance Hierarch

    Chapter 583: Chapter 332: Meeting the Alliance Hierarch


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch wants to see me?¡± Li Yuan was stunned; he had not been back for long.


    ¡°When Yu Jinghe came out, the Alliance Hierarch did not summon him,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°But your situation is different. Firstly, you are much more important, and secondly, according to Yu Jinghe, you should now control the core secrets of the Divine Land.¡±


    ¡°The secrets of Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡°The entire upper echelon of the civilization is very concerned,¡± Fang Hai stated gravely. ¡°It¡¯s quite normal for the Alliance Hierarch to want to see you immediately.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He then disconnected the communication with Fang Hai.


    ...


    In this Quiet Chamber, there was a Virtual Network Cabin. Li Yuan directly entered and logged into the virtual network.


    Wanting to directly contact the Feixing Virtual Network from the Star Realm? It required extremely high permissions.


    ¡­


    In the virtual network, Starfire Space.


    ¡°Hmm? I have an extra permission?¡± Li Yuan noticed an abnormality in his permissions as soon as he entered.


    He was already qualified to enter the ¡°Starfire Realm,¡± and there was also a message from Fang Hai.


    Following the message, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness entered the Starfire Realm.


    This was a vast void, with only a floating palace in it, completely red, with gold and red lights mixed together, dazzling endlessly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come here,¡± said Fang Hai, dressed in black, already waiting outside the palace, smiling.


    ¡°The principal is also here?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flew over.


    ¡°Let¡¯s enter together; the Alliance Hierarch is right here,¡± Fang Hai whispered. ¡°In the past, only over twenty demigods from the Martial Hall could come to this Starfire Realm.¡±


    ¡°I was previously granted access, and you are the second,¡± Fang Hai explained as they walked.


    Li Yuan immediately understood that this virtual space, ¡°Starfire Realm,¡± must be the gathering place for the highest echelons of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Over twenty demigods?


    ¡°In the entire Seven Stars Civilization, are there over twenty demigods belonging to the Starfire Martial Hall?¡± Li Yuan wondered silently.


    Before this, with his permissions, he had been able to find that there were over fifty demigods in the Seven Stars Civilization.


    Now, it seemed there were even more.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Fang Hai led Li Yuan into the palace. The interior was quite spacious and empty, and at the far end of the hall, a figure in a golden robe was sitting cross-legged, radiating an extremely sharp aura.


    It was Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Fang Hai bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan also bowed. He felt it strange that the aura of the Alliance Hierarch in the virtual network seemed even more sharp and commanding than in reality.


    The last time he saw Dongfang Ji, he only felt that the other¡¯s aura was strong and vast but not so overwhelming as now.


    The Law of Metal.


    ¡°Sit,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, waving his hand, and two chairs appeared in front of Li Yuan.


    Fang Hai sat down without hesitation, and Li Yuan did the same.


    ¡°I have generally reviewed your report,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s gaze fell on Li Yuan. ¡°But there are some doubts I want to ask you about, so I specifically asked Fang Hai to bring you here.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, please ask me; whatever I can say, I will definitely tell,¡± Li Yuan spoke honestly.


    After coming out from the Mothership, Li Yuan had quickly prepared a document briefly describing his experiences and explaining the situation inside the Civilization Mothership¡­ although the content was very rough.


    ¡°You mentioned in your report about the Divine Land in the Ruins Star Realm, that it is indeed a God-Level Mothership, but based on your report and combined with Yu Jinghe¡¯s report, the ¡®Six Great Alien God Heritage¡¯ you talked about only involves the outer layer, right?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan with a smile. ¡°What about the inner layer? Does it involve True God Heritage?¡±


    ¡°Did you all make a Law Oath? Is it hard to say?¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Haha,¡± Fang Hai showed a smile. ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be surprised; the teacher¡¯s vision exceeds your imagination.¡± Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°True God Heritage, it¡¯s very terrifying.¡±


    ¡°But you don¡¯t have to worry about it being taken away,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°Having seen the Martial Divine Hall and with your experiences, you should be able to guess that what the teacher controls¡­ also far exceeds your imagination.¡±


    ¡°Even I have a share of True God Heritage,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°The principal also has True God Heritage?¡± Li Yuan was shocked internally, creating a huge stir.


    This was definitely explosive news.


    ¡°Fang Hai also became a Seven Star Vein not long ago, only then fully obtaining that True God Heritage recognition,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°The core heritage of a True God usually requires the Seven Star Veins.¡±


    Li Yuan was increasingly shocked and couldn¡¯t help but look at Fang Hai.


    Seven Star Veins?


    According to Qiu Bingzun, even in the Divine Realm, the Seven Star Veins were already considered very powerful.


    If the principal is so powerful, what about the even more mysterious and powerful Alliance Hierarch? For a moment, a rush of thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    At that moment, Li Yuan vaguely realized that he might have touched upon some of the core aspects of civilization.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, that Mothership involves the heritage of a Wind-System True God,¡± Li Yuan stated earnestly. ¡°It left behind many treasures and Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Wind System? Is it that True God from the Heavenly Serpent Clan?¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was increasingly astonished.


    The Alliance Hierarch was incredible¡ªhad he guessed all this? In his and Yu Jinghe¡¯s reports, they had not yet mentioned this.


    ¡°You have received the True God Heritage, so you should know many things,¡± said Dongfang Ji slowly. ¡°Are you aware of the Divine Realm?¡±


    ¡°I am,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Beside him, Fang Hai remained calm, seemingly already aware and unsurprised.


    ¡°And the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Dongfang Ji asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ve learned some about it,¡± Li Yuan hesitated and then added, ¡°And also about Nine Leaves Nine Mountains. I know quite a bit about that too.¡±


    From the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s demeanor, Li Yuan understood that his strength and the hidden forces behind him likely surpassed his own imagination.


    ¡°The war of the gods ten thousand years ago saw many divine beings from the Divine Realm descend, among them, a deity from the Heavenly Serpent Clan, who was one of the strongest,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly. ¡°He brought a Civilization Mothership. These are no secrets¡­ After his fall, the Civilization Mothership disappeared without a trace.¡±


    ¡°I have always speculated that his Civilization Mothership must have crashed into one of the Star Realms near our Seven Stars Civilization¡­ It was not until I observed Ming Mountain and the Flying Heaven Beast Kings in the Mingxu Star Realm that I became sixty percent confident that Ming Mountain is the Civilization Mothership of that Heavenly Serpent Clan deity,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    ¡°I have been waiting.¡±


    ¡°Waiting for the entrance of the Mingxu Star Realm to upgrade to a Second Level Star Realm, I knew that the opportunity had arrived,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled at Li Yuan. ¡°Luckily, your talent and strength were high enough that you directly seized the heritage.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, it really would have been troublesome.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with increasing shock.


    From the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s words, had he identified the secret of Ming Mountain long ago?


    Li Yuan also immediately understood why the last time the Alliance Hierarch had given him information, he specifically mentioned the Civilization Mothership.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡±


    ¡°With so many civilizations within the Dimensional Domain and even more Dimensional Planes, why did you believe that the Heavenly Serpent Clan True God¡¯s Civilization Mothership crashed near our Seven Stars Civilization?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    Dongfang Ji could not help but smile.


    Beside him, Fang Hai also showed a smile. ¡°Li Yuan, have you ever thought about why our Seven Stars Civilization has so many Star Realms? Why do numerous Foreign Civilizations constantly desire to invade our Seven Stars Civilization?¡±


    Li Yuan was momentarily stumped.


    In fact, this was also what perplexed Li Yuan; he had previously received extensive intelligence about the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization from Xue Yan and Liang Qi¡­ Upon comparison, Li Yuan had discovered a critical point.


    Compared to these Foreign Civilizations, the Star Realms of the Seven Stars Civilization¡­ were too numerous!!


    The Star Realms connected to the Seven Great Planets totaled, perhaps, over a thousand.


    All these belonged to Exterior Dimensional Star Realms.


    This was quite inconceivable.


    As mighty as the Myriad Demons Civilization, with several dozen Life Planets, other than the ¡®Interior Dimensional Star Realms¡¯ between planets, over tens of thousands of years, they had only discovered a little over a hundred Exterior Dimensional Star Realms.


    Only a tenth of the Seven Stars Civilization!


    You must know, these Star Realm entrances of the Seven Stars Civilization had all appeared just in the last few hundred years.


    Very strange.


    All this indicated the uniqueness of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    ¡°In our entire Dimensional Domain, there are over ten thousand Dimensional Planes,¡± Dongfang Ji whispered. ¡°Most of these Dimensional Planes have spawned life, but only a few have developed a relatively advanced civilization¡­ And even fewer have given birth to Divine beings.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    ¡°Many Dimensional Planes collide and intersect¡­ forming many junction points,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°These junctions are spatially unstable, which causes Star Realms to be frequently born and destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Is our Seven Stars Civilization one such junction point?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes, and no,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan grew even more puzzled.


    ¡°Once, the previous era of the Seven Stars Civilization was very prosperous,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes held a reminiscing look. ¡°It had more than ten Life Planets and also gave birth to Divine beings.¡±


    ¡°The previous era?¡± many thoughts surfaced in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Everything changed over ten thousand years ago, with the emergence of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ Just the repercussions alone had a massive impact on many nearby Dimensional Planes.¡±


    ¡°The most affected was the Dimensional Plane of our Seven Stars Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan. ¡°The entire plane¡¯s civilization was directly obliterated, along with the Plane¡¯s Origin suffering damage, which resulted in the Plane¡¯s Origin Power being absorbed to repair itself¡­ It was only thousands of years ago that our civilization¡¯s ancestors began to redevelop from a wilderness state, up till today.¡±


    ¡°Only two thousand years ago did the Origin of the Plane begin to recover initially, the Star Gates opened, and Origin Power gradually pervaded the entire Dimensional Plane.¡±


    Li Yuan listened in shock.


    No wonder, while civilizations like the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization had been passed down for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, the Seven Stars Civilization was much weaker.


    All this was due to the obliteration of the previous civilization.


    Was the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain the chief culprit?


    ¡°That upheaval turned our Seven Stars Plane into a new junction point; the instability of space has resulted in numerous Star Realms being born in these few hundred years, gradually recovering the Origin Power within the Plane, thus establishing connections with many Star Realms,¡± Dongfang Ji explained. ¡°This also allowed us to come into contact with other Foreign Civilizations.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully.


    Throughout history, the civilization had undergone increasingly significant changes over the past few centuries.


    ¡°All this is secondary.¡±


    ¡°The key point,¡± Dongfang Ji said slowly, ¡°is that it has led to the birth of two crucial Star Realms within our Seven Stars Civilization¡ªNine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm.¡±


    Nine Leaves Nine Mountains? Li Yuan was increasingly astonished.


    ¡°Other civilizations find it difficult to enter the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯s Nine Leaves Nine Mountains,¡± Dongfang Ji stated. ¡°But we can enter directly through the Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°This is both a disaster and an opportunity!¡±

 Chapter 584 - 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled

    Chapter 584: Chapter 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled


    Nine Leaves Star Realm? Nine Mountains Star Realm?


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Alliance Hierarch, are these two Star Realms exclusive to our Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Exclusive,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded. ¡°The Nine Leaves Star Realm is a Third Level Star Realm, and the Nine Mountains Star Realm is a Fourth Level Star Realm. In fact, there isn¡¯t much treasure within these two Star Realms, just that each has a separate passage leading deep into the Nine Leaves and the Nine Mountains.¡±


    Li Yuan marveled in secret.


    This was indeed a great opportunity for the Seven Star Civilization.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also vaguely understood. So, does that mean the Nine Leaves Star Realm only allows those at the Flying Heaven Level to enter?


    ... S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is mysterious and incomprehensible, with invisible rules in operation. We call its core ¡®Ancient Domain,¡¯ a Starry Sky Space Rift situated between planes,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said. ¡°Therefore, the Divine from many Dimensional Domains can enter along this Starry Sky Space Rift, and even the Divine from the Divine Realm can descend in this way¡­ Over the long years, the treasures that were easy to obtain in the periphery of the Ancient Domain have already been taken.¡±


    ¡°Today, for those Divine to dare enter the Ancient Domain, it¡¯s tantamount to a survival rate of one in ten,¡± Dongfang Ji solemnly said.


    Li Yuan listened quietly, he was beginning to understand.


    ¡°So the Myriad Demons Civilization wants to invade our Seven Star Civilization for these two Star Realms?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled. ¡°But I remember, Alliance Hierarch, you met Teacher Lie Feng in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°Does this mean that powerful beings from other dimensions can still enter the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°Enter, they can certainly enter,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile next to him. ¡°Li Yuan, anyone can enter the Ancient Domain at the core, but it¡¯s difficult for everyone to do so.¡±


    ¡°But the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains are part of the outer regions.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Leaves World only allows those at the Flying Heaven Level to enter; the Nine Mountains World only allows Demigods,¡± Fang Hai explained. ¡°Other civilizations¡¯ Flying Heaven beings and Demigods, if aided by Divine¡­ can also reach the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, and then attempt to enter the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains, but just the dangers of the outermost layer alone are enough to kill ninety percent of those Flying Heaven Level and Demigods before they can truly enter the Nine Leaves World, the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains are likewise fraught with peril, which is why, for every hundred Flying Heaven and Demigods from those Foreign Civilizations, hardly one survives,¡± Fang Hai remarked.


    Li Yuan was more and more alarmed upon hearing this¡ªa one percent survival rate?


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization is one of the most powerful civilizations in the Dimensional Domain. The largest campaign they had ever organized involved rallying over two hundred Demigods to attempt the challenge,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly. ¡°In the end, only one made it out alive.¡±


    ¡°And the one who survived wasn¡¯t even the strongest among them,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head.


    ¡°This¡ª¡± Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    How brutal.


    That was a Demigod! Out of hundreds, only one survives? And survival doesn¡¯t even depend on strength.


    Such knowledge must surely dishearten any Demigod who heard it.


    Dongfang Ji spoke slowly, ¡°The powerful from our Seven Star Civilization, by going through these two Star Realms into the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains, have a very low death rate and have obtained a great deal of treasure.¡±


    ¡°Lant thus became the first Demigod of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°My own strength, too, is inseparably linked to the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai¡¯s True God Heritage also originates from the Nine Leaves World,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Our entire civilization has thus thrived, and many of our treasures are even coveted by Divine beings.¡±


    Li Yuan was shocked to hear this.


    So, it seemed the Seven Star Civilization, in just a few hundred years, caught up with the Tianliang Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and others¡­ all of which was inseparable from the Nine Mountains and Nine Leaves.


    ¡°Therefore,¡±


    ¡°Any Foreign Civilizations capable of passing through Star Realms and bordering our Seven Star Civilization, as long as they have a bit of strength, naturally harbor covetous thoughts,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°The greatest threats are the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Myriad Demon Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Immortal Ruins Civilization?¡± Li Yuan was astonished. ¡°Have we also been involved in a major war with them?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯ve clashed with the Immortal Ruins Civilization; you should be aware of their strength,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°They haven¡¯t made a move only because there hasn¡¯t been a chance.¡±


    ¡°We border the Myriad Demon Civilization at a Fourth Level Star Realm ¡®Demon Mountain Star Realm¡¯ situated in Feixing,¡± Fang Hai continued. ¡°That has been the root cause of several major wars.¡±


    ¡°And the great extinction in Feixing¡¯s history originated from there.¡±


    Demon Mountain Star Realm?


    Li Yuan sighed to himself, having previously read about it in the database.


    This was the only Fourth Level Star Realm within the Seven Star Civilization, located in Feixing, and it allowed Demigods to pass through.


    ¡°With Teacher guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the Myriad Demons Civilization has temporarily given up on invading,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°As for the Immortal Ruins Civilization, we are connected by two Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°One is the Fierce Feather Star Realm in Feixing, a Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The other is the Kunlun Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai paused. ¡°That¡¯s the one beneath Kunlun Martial University¡­ which may break through to become a Third Level Star Realm at any time.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath; he was naturally no stranger to the Kunlun Star Realm.


    Over the past few decades, Principal Fang Hai stayed at Kunlun Martial University, with the purpose of guarding the entrance to the Kunlun Star Realm¡­ being the principal was just incidental.


    ¡°The Kunlun Star Realm is vast and stable; in the Teacher¡¯s predictions, it¡¯s not far from becoming a Third Level Star Realm and might eventually even become a Fourth Level Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Tell me, will the Immortal Ruins Civilization remain amiable by then?¡±


    ¡°They maintain peace with us because they¡¯ve never had the chance.¡±


    ¡°As far as we know, the number of civilizations annihilated by the Immortal Ruins Civilization is not small,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly, a sense of intense crisis welling up in his heart.


    The Demon Mountain Star Realm was far off in Feixing¡­ but the Kunlun Star Realm was right here on Blue Star, within Xia Country!


    One Rob Sea Star Realm had already made Xia Country lose sleep.


    Should the Kunlun Star Realm advance to a Fourth Level Star Realm? The Immortal Ruins Civilization was much more powerful than the Myriad Demons Civilization, and if a major war erupted, the clash of numerous Demigods could potentially destroy most of Xia Country.

    Chapter 585: Chapter 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_2


    Never!


    He would never allow such a thing to happen! The thought rose uncontrollably in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The more Li Yuan saw and understood, the less naive he was compared to his youthful student days.


    Everything in his heart was for himself, for the might of the Seven Star Civilization! It was a natural order where the strong preyed on the weak.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Today I brought you here just to let you understand the core secrets of our civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°You have high talent, higher than mine, higher than Fang Hai¡¯s, it¡¯s just that you are still young and haven¡¯t fully realized your potential yet.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Maestro, I¡­¡± Li Yuan was about to speak.


    ¡°No need to be modest,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°As a Prime Warrior, you¡¯ve burst forth with Flying Heaven Peak strength at just Second Rank and received two True God heritages, which proves everything.¡±


    ¡°Even if placed in the Divine Realm, you would probably be considered a rare genius,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Two True God heritages? Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised,¡± Fang Hai joked, ¡°Li Yuan, the affairs in the Fierce Feather Star Realm might deceive others, but not your teacher. There should also be an Earth System True God heritage in the World within Worlds.¡±


    Li Yuan fell silent, ceasing to argue.


    The more he interacted, the more unfathomable the Alliance Hierarch seemed¡­ now feeling the other party more mysterious than ever.


    ¡°With talent comes responsibility,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is an opportunity for our Seven Star Civilization, which might allow our civilization to become the strongest in the Dimensional Domain.¡±


    ¡°But, if we ourselves are not strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Then, whether it is the possible turmoil in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the future or invasions from other civilizations, all could destroy our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°By then, the Seven Great Planets would be entirely destroyed, billions would die, and all traces erased¡­ it¡¯s not impossible.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart tightened upon hearing this.


    Then, it would be a repetition of the downfall of a past civilization.


    ¡°Countless precedents have proven that even True Gods cannot fully control the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, it¡¯s too remote for us¡­¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly, ¡°But at least, we need to make efforts to fend off invasions from other civilizations.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The height of a civilization depends on the stature of its top warriors.¡±


    ¡°If our civilization could give birth to a Pseudo-God, it would be much safer.¡±


    ¡°If it could produce a True God! Then we could say that our Seven Star Civilization truly stands tall among the Dimensional Domain civilizations, unafraid of most storms,¡± a hint of inexplicable light flashed in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Becoming a Pseudo-God, for those Semi-Divines in our civilization as well as many young talents, there is some hope, for Semi-Divines live a thousand years, anything is possible,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly, ¡°But becoming a True God?¡±


    ¡°At least, in my view, besides me, only you two have the potential,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at the two.


    ¡°Now with my presence, our civilization is temporarily safe,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°but relying solely on me is not enough, for I can¡¯t guard it forever.¡±


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine once protected our civilization for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Later, he assisted me, and I was able to grow rapidly.¡±


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for your generation of leaders,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Starfire! Passing on the torch, from generation to generation, never extinguishing!¡±


    ¡°This, is the original intention of me and Lant Semi-Divine when we unified the Seven Stars, established the Starfire Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, and the Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    Fang Hai and Li Yuan, both felt their blood boiling.


    True God? Even the Myriad Demons Civilization currently lacked a True God.


    Even though Li Yuan, favored by Qiu Bingzun and Gu You, that was all in the future.


    Now, his True Intent Comprehension was not even at the Semi-Divine level, let alone the distant True God.


    But both Li Yuan and Fang Hai felt the responsibility they bore.


    Passing on the torch, from the first generation Prime Warriors, to the first generation Flying Heaven Warriors, then to Lant Semi-Divine, Dongfang Ji.


    Now, it was needed for their generation to stand up.


    The strength of a civilization was never dependent on one person but required generations of strong warriors to step forward.


    Until one day, the Seven Star Civilization stands at the very peak of the Dimensional Domain!


    ¡­ As time passed, Li Yuan continued to interact with Fang Hai and Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, the blood flame of the Wan Mo Civilization, have all been controlled by your soul?¡± Fang Hai listened, shocked.


    A trace of astonishment flashed in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, this was something he had decided to reveal after much thought.


    Some matters, kept hidden, served no purpose.


    Like Blood Flame, requiring the intelligence network of the Seven Star Civilization to contact to fully leverage its effects.


    ¡°No wonder you said you were absolutely certain about ending the war in Ming Xu Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°You have done well, your war plans are excellent, too.¡±


    ¡°As for Blood Flame, I will arrange for undercover contacts to establish a stable connection,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°After the war ends, I will have San Ye Semi-Divine comprehensively tally your contributions.¡±


    ¡°Hm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, not particularly concerned now.


    His gains in the Ming Xu Star Realm were significant enough, the wealth of most Semi-Divines in his civilization couldn¡¯t compare to his own.


    Unless he broke through to Flying Heaven Level, his need for external things was minimal now.


    ¡°When are you planning your breakthrough?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    Fang Hai also looked towards Li Yuan, smiling, ¡°Li Yuan, I will likely become a Semi-Divine soon. When you break through to Flying Heaven Level, I¡¯m prepared to appoint you as the Grand Hall Master of the Starfire Blue Star Main Hall.¡±


    ¡°Grand Hall Master of Blue Star?¡± Li Yuan was momentarily taken aback.


    That was one of the most powerful figures in the entire Blue Star.


    ¡°If your principal can do it at Flying Heaven Level, why can¡¯t you?¡± Dongfang Ji offered a light smile.


    ¡°Maestro, principal,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I currently am at Six Star Pulse. I plan to reach Seven Star Veins before my breakthrough.¡±


    Li Yuan dared not mention Eight Star Veins.


    It was too exaggerated and hard to explain; Seven Star Veins was sufficient.

 Chapter 586 - 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_3

    Chapter 586: Chapter 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_3


    ¡°Seven Star Veins?¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°That¡¯s acceptable. You are still young. You can continue to accumulate and lay a good foundation. There¡¯s no rush to reach the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Veins?¡± Fang Hai sighed.


    He had reached the Flying Heaven Level a long time ago, and it had cost him a great deal of energy to achieve the Seven Star Veins.


    Compared to him, Li Yuan had progressed much faster.


    ¡°Furthermore, once I increase my strength further, I want to sweep through the Second Level Star Realms.¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°Sweep through the Second Level Star Realms?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes flashed with a strange color.


    ...


    ¡°Good ambition,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°but it¡¯s not as easy as you think. Some Second Level Star Realms are home to Demigods.¡±


    ¡°Demigods?¡± Li Yuan widened his eyes.


    That¡¯s insane?


    Even with his confidence, Li Yuan didn¡¯t believe that he, as a Prime Warrior, could contend with a Demigod.


    Not even if his True Intent Comprehension stepped into the Threshold of the Law would it suffice.


    The fundamental gap was too large.


    ¡°The so-called levels of Star Realms are just the grade of their entry points, and have nothing to do with the inherent strength of the Star Realms themselves,¡± Dongfang Ji explained patiently. ¡°A few Second Level Star Realms have strong indigenous lifeforms, or Flying Heaven Warriors stationed there who have broken through¡­ Of course, if your strength advances further, you indeed have the potential to sweep through most Second Level Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s not necessary,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head.


    ¡°Why not?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°In doing so, you won¡¯t foster allies within, nor invincible challengers from outside, leading ultimately to decay,¡± Dongfang Ji stated. ¡°There are a few Second Level Star Realms with substantial threats that indeed need to be eradicated, like the Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°But for the most part, these realms serve as a proving ground for many civilizations and ordinary Martial Artists, where although there are some casualties, it is the price paid for the emergence of powerful warriors.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s no danger at all¡­¡±


    ¡°How can the next generation of warriors grow?¡± Dongfang Ji smiled.


    Li Yuan understood.


    ¡°Before you break through to the Flying Heaven Warrior, tell me, and I will give you a list of Second Level Star Realms that need cleaning up,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll follow the Hierarch¡¯s arrangement,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Soon, Fang Hai left first.


    Only Li Yuan and Dongfang Ji were left in the palace.


    ¡°Li Yuan, three last things,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at him.


    ¡°First, your authority in the Martial Hall is elevated to that of a Flying Heaven Star Lord, which will give you access to more data and resources of the Martial Hall,¡± Dongfang Ji continued. ¡°Second, have you studied the ¡®Thousand Illusions Formation Map¡¯ I gave you last time?¡±


    ¡°I have,¡± Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.


    ¡°When you comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map and reach the Flying Heaven Level, that is when you should set out for the Nine Leaves World,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan immediately understood why, when it had been given to him, he was told to report back upon comprehension.


    Now, the Thousand Illusions Formation Map seemed to be related to the Nine Leaves World.


    ¡°The third matter,¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance you received should contain a latent power, right?¡±


    ¡°Latent power?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°It seems you¡¯re not very aware, but this power originates from Jiangnan Province in Blue Star. Once you return to Blue Star, go and tell them not to try to infiltrate the mainframe of Blue Star anymore,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°I should be correct, right?¡±


    Boom!


    Jiangnan Province? Li Yuan¡¯s mind reeled as he pieced together Dongfang Ji¡¯s words and guessed who it might be.


    Gu You?


    ¡°Yes, Hierarch, I understand,¡± Li Yuan replied. ¡°When I return, I will keep them restrained.¡±


    ¡°Good, the inheritance you¡¯ve received is yours to command,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°I¡¯m just warning you that these Alien God inheritances are sometimes a double-edged sword¡­ manage it well.¡±


    ¡°If you feel you can¡¯t control it¡­ come to me, and I¡¯ll take care of it,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s confident voice reassured.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    In the crimson palace, Dongfang Ji watched Li Yuan leave.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t we going to tell them the truth?¡± a deep voice asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s not yet time,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said. ¡°When they make it through the Seventh Mountain on their own strength, they will naturally understand¡­ the path of cultivation must be trodden by themselves.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm,¡± the deep voice replied. ¡°Master, when will we venture to the Ninth Mountain?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Fang Hai to break through. Once I enter the Ninth Mountain, it¡¯s hard to say when I could return.¡±


    ¡­

    Clang~


    Li Yuan emerged from the Virtual Network Cabin, his eyes filled with astonishment.


    ¡°Hierarch!¡±


    ¡°How powerful must one be to even track Gu You¡¯s movements?¡± Li Yuan marveled silently. ¡°And what exactly did Gu You do while I wasn¡¯t here?¡±


    Li Yuan found Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words, ¡°To gain what you want, you must be prepared to give,¡± deeply resonant.


    Everyone thinks differently and isn¡¯t entirely under one¡¯s control.


    True God Heritage? It seemed not all benefits were straightforward.


    With that thought,


    ¡°Myriad Scales,¡± Li Yuan directly transmitted to the soul: ¡°How are the preparations?¡±


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°In three more days, we should be able to launch the attack,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied through soul transmission.


    With their spiritual power, soul transmission across tens of thousands of miles was effortless.


    ¡­


    ¡°Continue cultivating,¡± Li Yuan calmed his heart and resumed his cultivation in the chamber.


    ¡°After this battle ends,¡±


    ¡°I must find a way to erase the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ Star Technique Star Mark,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Then, I can re-cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein¡¯ with a Perfect Star Vein.¡±


    Once he erased the ¡°Nine Shadows Clone,¡± his strength would naturally diminish.


    But the ¡°True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein¡± was the foundation of cultivation and would boost Li Yuan¡¯s compatibility with the Wind Vein significantly.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was in meditation,


    in the vast world of the Myriad Demons Civilization, on a massive planet, a figure in black garment, Xue Yan, slowly descended from the warship.


    ¡°Xue Yan,¡± the black-robed elder Demigod smiled, ¡°the East Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity have both arrived, waiting for you inside the palace. Go ahead.¡±

 Chapter 587 - 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_4

    Chapter 587: Chapter 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_4


    ¡°Yes,¡± Xue Yan nodded, a trace of unease in his heart.


    ¡°The master has planned everything.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control is usually something only divine beings can perform,¡± Xue Yan thought to himself. ¡°East Demon and Bei Yue probably won¡¯t guess¡­ and the master¡¯s Soul Imprint has perfectly merged with my soul, they shouldn¡¯t be able to sense it either.¡±


    Whoosh! sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Xue Yan flew into the distant majestic temple.


    ¡­


    ...


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Ming Mountain.


    Numerous massive Flying Heaven Beast Kings hung in the void, nearly three hundred in number, incredibly silent, all gazing towards the distant vacuum where a figure resembled a Fire Kirin.


    Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was emitting a majestic and vast aura, his cold eyes scanning each Flying Heaven Beast King.


    ¡°If we win this battle, the Myriad Scales Beast Clan can continue to thrive securely,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor said coldly. ¡°Therefore, I do not want any Beast King to slack off.¡±


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor,¡± a discordant voice arose as a Green Snake solemnly spoke. ¡°How could we ally with the Seven Star Civilization? Can we trust them? It was the Spirit Gun that carried out massive slaughters against us; if we must ally, it should be with the Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng?¡±


    ¡°This is the third time you have opposed me,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s eyes turned frosty. ¡°For the sake of your father, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I didn¡¯t pursue the matter the last two times¡­ but today, you dare to waver in solidarity?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a limit to everything!¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor shook his head.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor moved, streaking across like a blazing red comet, his speed terrifying.


    ¡°I, Beast Emperor, I was wrong¡­¡± Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s face changed, and he quickly tried to plead for mercy.


    But it was too late.


    ¡°Slash!¡± Blood splattered as the massive body of the Green Snake was torn into two by Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s sharp claws.


    Qing Sheng Beast King, dead!


    Facing a Level 36 Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, a common Beast King like him had absolutely no power to resist.


    ¡°Anyone else have objections?¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, bathed in blood, imposing, his icy gaze sweeping across.


    All the Flying Heaven Beast Kings lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact.


    ¡°Depart.¡±


    ¡°Target, Tianliang Civilization Base,¡± commanded the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Hundreds of Beast Kings set off mightily.


    ¡­


    One day later.


    Inside a Fourth Rank Battleship at Bright Moon Base, numerous Martial Artists with Flying Heaven Level strength were shocked as they looked at the scene on the screen.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°The Tianliang Civilization Base, destroyed?¡±


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, such formidable strength! Even the main cannon of the Fourth Rank Battleship couldn¡¯t fully lock on him.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s because there were too many Flying Heaven Beast Kings,¡± Tavares, Jiang Zai, Li Yang, Luo Chan, and others were quietly discussing, their voices filled with awe.


    They had not anticipated.


    Unexpectedly, the Mingxu Beast Clan would be attacked by the Tianliang Civilization Base¡­ until it was completely breached.


    The strength of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was too powerful.


    Eventually, at the cost of losing over fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings, the Mingxu Beast Clan completely breached the base, and after suffering heavy casualties, the remnants of Tianliang Civilization retreated from the Mingxu Star Realm.


    At this point, the last strategic stronghold of Tianliang Civilization in the Mingxu Star Realm was declared annihilated.


    ¡°Tianliang Civilization has been attacked.¡±


    ¡°Who will be next?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡± These Martial Artists were somewhat panicked.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen,¡± said Li Yuan, standing at the front of the team, ¡°there¡¯s no need to worry about the Mingxu Beast Clan launching an attack on us.¡±


    ¡°I had a confrontation with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor in the Ming Mountain, and it was difficult to determine a winner; ultimately, we came to an agreement.¡±


    ¡°The boundary line will be set at Ming Mountain and the Earth Dragon Gorge, with one side belonging to the Mingxu Beast Clan,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly, ¡°The other side, spanning 20,000 kilometers, will belong to our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°From now on, there will be peace,¡± Li Yuan declared.


    ¡°What? A 20,000-kilometer territory? An agreement with the Spirit Gun and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor?¡±


    ¡°Is this agreement reliable?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor couldn¡¯t handle the Spirit Gun?¡± The martial artists were both shocked and incredulous.


    They knew the Spirit Gun was powerful, having apparently reached the Flying Heaven Peak, but the strength revealed by the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor during the attack on the Tianliang Civilization Base was even more terrifying¡­ With a slight calculation, these martial artists understood that if the Spirit Gun could force the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor into making an agreement, he must have become even more fearsome than six months ago.


    How could they not be shocked?


    After all, the Spirit Gun was still a Prime Warrior, yet his strength could progress so rapidly time after time? What kind of monster was this!


    ¡­


    In the beginning, many Flying Heaven Warriors were skeptical of the Spirit Gun¡¯s statements.


    However, not long after, a Flying Heaven Beast King came as an emissary, which again caused a stir.


    This agreement! Could it be true?


    But still, was it reliable? Many questioned in their hearts.


    ¡­


    Inside a secret chamber of a warship, there were only three people.


    ¡°Tavares, Jiang Zai,¡± Li Yuan, completely enveloped in a black garment, looked at the two men.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡± The two of them were quite respectful.


    Over time, they had grown to admire this mysterious Prime Warrior from their civilization; he was truly terrifying.


    He was much stronger than Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°You two will be the highest commanders here, so I¡¯m telling you the truth,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly: ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor is actually under my control.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor is your servant?¡± Both Tavares and Jiang Zai were shocked.


    They weren¡¯t fools and immediately thought of many possibilities.


    ¡°This so-called agreement.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just to cover up the truth,¡± Li Yuan looked at them and said: ¡°The 20,000-kilometer territory is temporarily sufficient for our Seven Star Civilization to propagate and extract resources¡­ Once your strength progresses further, reaching the Flying Heaven Peak and eventually becoming Semi-Divine, then we can completely eliminate the Mingxu Beast Clan.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor will secretly suppress the proliferation of the Mingxu Beast Clan and step by step cooperate with you,¡± Li Yuan continued: ¡°Also, regarding the information about the Divine Land, once it¡¯s collated, with your access level, you will be able to view it.¡±


    ¡°Eventually, you¡¯ll also be able to enter it and see if you receive the Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai now completely believed the Spirit Gun¡¯s words.


    ¡°By the way,¡± Li Yuan finally said: ¡°Although you reside permanently in the Star Realm, it¡¯s not impossible to leave; actually, besides upgrading the Star Realm, there is another way.¡±


    This was something Li Yuan had found in the data gifted by Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°What way?¡± Both Tavares and Jiang Zai felt a glimmer of hope rise in their hearts.


    ¡°Ascend to God!¡±


    ¡°Once you become divine, you can break the bonds of the Star Realm and enter the Starry Sky Space Rift,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°and regain your freedom.¡±


    ¡­


    After sending off Tavares and Jiang Zai, who were full of thoughts, the Quiet Chamber welcomed its last visitor.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, what is it that you need?¡± Li Yang asked.


    However, Li Yang was very perplexed; as an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, why had he been summoned?


    Boom! The door of the Quiet Chamber closed.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and he put away his Phantom Spirit Garment, revealing his face, and bowed respectfully: ¡°I was disrespectful before, I hope you can forgive me, teacher.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan? You¡¯re the Spirit Gun?¡± Li Yang widened his eyes, his mind buzzing.


    ¡°My student, the Spirit Gun?¡±

 Chapter 588 - 334: Where My Heart Finds Peace! Huge Reward

    Chapter 588: Chapter 334: Where My Heart Finds Peace! Huge Reward


    Li Yang was indeed shocked.


    It should be noted that since the virtual battle on Blue Star ended two years ago, his contact with Li Yuan had become infrequent.


    After hosting Li Yuan¡¯s graduation ceremony at Kunlun Martial University, although both headed to Feixing, they went to different places.


    To put it bluntly, the two hadn¡¯t met for nearly two years, and there hadn¡¯t been much contact in between.


    Li Yang knew that Li Yuan was growing rapidly and was reportedly a member of the Seven Stars Mountain.


    But!! Until just moments ago, he couldn¡¯t believe that the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± famed throughout the Foreign Civilization as the strongest Prime Warrior in history, was Li Yuan.


    ...


    It was absurd.


    How long had Li Yuan been cultivating? How could he possibly achieve the peak battle power of a Flying Heaven-level warrior?


    Yet the truth was right before his eyes.


    ¡°I understand now,¡± Li Yang quickly figured it out, his face still filled with disbelief, ¡°I¡¯ve always wondered why I had never heard of the Spirit Gun before the great battle in the Rob Sea.¡±


    ¡°Why the Spirit Gun never showed his true face¡­ So that¡¯s it.¡± Li Yang shook his head, sighing, ¡°It¡¯s you! No wonder you needed to conceal your identity.¡±


    It didn¡¯t take long for Li Yang to understand.


    Public records stated that the Spirit Gun was over 50 years old and had already shocked various Foreign Civilizations.


    If people knew the Spirit Gun was not yet 21? It would cause an upheaval!


    After figuring everything out, Li Yang shook his head and said, ¡°Li Yuan, what you did was wrong. You being the Spirit Gun must be the highest secret within our civilization, and not many people must know¡­ You really didn¡¯t need to tell me.¡±


    ¡°Given my power and status, I shouldn¡¯t know about this.¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°Now that I know, there¡¯s a risk of a leak.¡±


    Li Yang had always taken pride in mentoring a disciple like ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, but at this moment, his heart was filled with worry¡­ One step beyond the ordinary makes a genius.


    And Li Yuan? He¡¯s gone far beyond the ordinary, and the turmoil he might face in the future is beyond what Li Yang could imagine.


    Subconsciously, Li Yang thought of Wu Manong.


    When Wu Manong died, Li Yang watched helplessly as a peerless genius fell.


    And Li Yuan, he was ten times, a hundred times more monstrous than Wu Manong!


    ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you the truth earlier because there were other considerations,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°But now, the conflict in Ming Xu has concluded, and I am about to leave, not knowing when I might advance to the Flying Heaven level¡­ If I don¡¯t tell you now, there might be even fewer opportunities later.¡±


    After leaving the Ming Xu Star Realm, for safety, Li Yuan would soon head to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Before reaching the Flying Heaven level, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t easily return to the Ming Xu Star Realm; for safety¡¯s sake, there would hardly be a direct reason to meet Li Yang.


    And since Li Yang had reached the Flying Heaven level, he couldn¡¯t leave the Ming Xu Star Realm either.


    ¡°We can always meet in the virtual network,¡± Li Yang shook his head.


    ¡°Virtual is still virtual,¡± Li Yuan looked at Li Yang, ¡°Master has been very kind to his students. If I don¡¯t see you one last time¡­ I won¡¯t be at peace.¡±


    Over the years of cultivation, the only ones in Li Yuan¡¯s heart who were teachers were Xu Bo, Li Yang, and Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    And Xu Bo had passed away, Lie Feng Semi Divine was missing.


    Only Li Yang was left, and he would also be confined in the Ming Xu Star Realm for a long time.


    As for Ancient Torch Divine? Western Goodman Divine? They weren¡¯t truly part of his life, so naturally, there was no emotional connection.


    ¡°You!¡± Li Yang looked helplessly, yet there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.


    ¡°Master.¡± Li Yuan suddenly waved his hand, and two storage treasures flew out of his palm towards Li Yang, ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry coming and going, didn¡¯t prepare any special gifts, and direct transfer could draw unnecessary attention¡­ Consider these items as farewell gifts from your disciple.¡±


    ¡°These?¡± Li Yang was startled, and his divine sense unwittingly swept over them, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes, ¡°So many weapons and treasures? That¡¯s too much!!¡±


    After a brief inquiry, he knew how many treasures these two storage items contained.


    With Li Yang¡¯s vision, a quick estimate made it clear, these were probably worth tens of thousands of points.


    This was an astounding fortune for him, who was just at level 31.


    ¡°Master, you know, these treasures mean little to me,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Please accept them.¡±


    Except for the treasures of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and Xue Yan, to avoid detection, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t touched them.


    The other, numerous powerful beings he had slain, the treasures they yielded weren¡¯t particularly precious but were abundant in quantity.


    Those left behind by the likes of Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, Rolbis, Fu Yuan¡­ The number of treasures was substantial.


    What he gifted to Li Yang was just a small portion.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°These treasures, most of which don¡¯t suit you, just sell them slowly, sell them occasionally, enough to meet your own cultivation needs,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°If you encounter any problems or needs in your future cultivation, you can message me.¡±


    ¡°As a student, I¡¯ll definitely do my best to help you.¡± Li Yuan earnestly said.


    Eventually, Li Yang accepted them, persuaded by Li Yuan.


    ¡°They say you are my student,¡± Li Yang shook his head and sighed, ¡°But truthfully, you¡¯ve helped me more. The previous Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit¡­ And now, you¡¯re giving me so many treasures, most at the peak of Flying Heaven, probably don¡¯t have this much wealth.¡±


    ¡°In my heart, I¡¯ve always felt guilty,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t had that Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit back then, Master might not have broken through¡­ And probably wouldn¡¯t have been trapped in the Ming Xu Star Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan had indeed thought about this.


    ¡°You are wrong.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, what¡¯s there to feel guilty about?¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t come, wouldn¡¯t someone else have? I volunteered for the war in the Ming Xu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Do you remember Fan Jin?¡± Li Yang said sentimentally.


    ¡°Teacher Fan Jin?¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    How could he possibly forget?


    ¡°He died in battle in the Kunlun Star Realm, and I also participated in that urgent operation,¡± a hint of reminiscence flashed in Li Yang¡¯s eyes as he sighed, ¡°Yet I was powerless¡­¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Chapter 589: Chapter 334 ¨C Where My Heart Is At Peace! Huge Reward_2


    ¡°War always requires someone to step forward, and although I can¡¯t be like you, contributing to Xia Country and the Seven Star Civilization is a fulfillment enough for me,¡± Li Yang said with a laugh as he looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve already received the order, I should be the first principal of the future ¡®Mingxu Martial Arts University.''¡±


    ¡°Principal?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Old Hai always says that it¡¯s time for me to take over.¡±


    ¡°Now, he¡¯s still the dean, yet I¡¯m about to become a principal,¡± Li Yang smiled. ¡°Teaching and nurturing, isn¡¯t it the same everywhere?¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile; he could tell that Li Yang meant his words sincerely.


    ¡°You should be leaving soon.¡±


    ...


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing else left to teach,¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan, ¡°just one piece of advice.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t take too many risks, stay alive, being alive is more important than anything!¡±


    ¡­


    After parting with Li Yang, Li Yang also had a soul communication with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and gave a final instruction.


    Then,


    he had already arrived at the entrance to the Mingxu Star Realm, which was under martial law, temporarily preventing anyone from passing through.


    ¡°Liu Bing, prepare to leave the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan transmitted his soul, ¡°Once we enter the Seven Star Civilization, without my command, try to stay in the Heavenly Snake Hall, and do not appear unless I allow it.¡±


    ¡°Okay, big brother,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s crisp voice rang out, ¡°But big brother, my absence is predicated on the fact that it does not threaten your life¡­ If you encounter a life-threatening situation, I¡¯ll definitely intervene.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan did not retort.


    By the time Liu Bing has trained multiple Supreme Star Techniques to the Second Rank Limit¡­ her strength might even surpass his.


    After all, Liu Bing¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was already at the semi-divine level.


    And judging by the growth rate of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, it might not be many years before she can step into the threshold of the Wind Law.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, flying directly through the ripple-covered expanse of the Star Realm Passage.


    Crossing the ripples,


    Li Yuan found himself in another world, also a war base, though the atmosphere was notably different.


    ¡°Xia Country!¡±


    ¡°Home feels really different; the soul itself seems much more at ease,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Not far away awaited a group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Spirit Gun, welcome back,¡± several Flying Heaven Warriors came forward with smiles, even showing some deference.


    So much time had passed.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors were well aware of the terrifying record of achievements Spirit Gun had created in the Ming Xu Star Realm.


    ¡°Senior Yun,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Half a year ago, when he had passed through this war base to go to the Ming Xu Star Realm, it was also these Flying Heaven Warriors who had welcomed him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to call me senior.¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, Spirit Gun, you are much stronger than me,¡± said the warrior surnamed Yun with a smile, ¡°Welcome back victorious. Would you like to sit down for a meal together?¡±


    ¡°No thanks, I have things to do,¡± Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, ¡°Senior Yun, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± the Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun didn¡¯t stop him.


    Whizz! S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the open-air passage above the hall.


    ¡°Spirit Gun is really unrestrained.¡±


    ¡°Same as last time, not giving us any face,¡± a Flying Heaven Warrior couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°What status do we have in front of him to give us face? Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself,¡± another countered, ¡°We all owe him.¡±


    ¡°If he hadn¡¯t subdued the Ming Xu Star Realm, I fear our place here would now be the front line of preparations for war.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s just hope he can continue to grow,¡± the warrior surnamed Yun sighed, ¡°The stronger he is, the better it is for the entire civilization, and it benefits all of us.¡±


    ¡°Senior Yun,¡± said Li Yuan coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t waste time. The battle situation is urgent; better open the passage quickly so I can get through.¡±


    ¡­


    Outside it was night.


    Flying away from the war base and into the nearby void, Li Yuan paused, sensing something.


    A speck of ¡®Dust¡¯ floated leisurely through the void, landing on his shoulder.


    It was the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Since Li Yuan had returned to Blue Star, he had been able to sense the presence of the Ancient Divine Palace, and even communicate with Gu You inside it.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking towards the not-so-distant spot.


    In the void invisible to ordinary people, Li Yuan could clearly feel two figures, one black and one white, rapidly approaching.


    After condensing his True Intent, he could distort light during flight, concealing his tracks, making it difficult for ordinary people at a distance to detect him.


    But opponents at the same level can feel the changes in the Power of Heaven and Earth, mere distortion of light is not enough to hide from them.


    Soon,


    ¡°Principal, Senior Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan bowed as a greeting.


    ¡°Well done, you haven¡¯t let us down,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine smiled, ¡°I have already heard the general situation from your principal, I must thank you on behalf of Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°If the Ming Xu Star Realm were occupied by the Seven Star Civilization, I fear that our Xia Country would never have peace,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine reflected.


    ¡°Senior, I too am a person of Xia Country,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Yuan had some guesses in his heart; probably many core secrets of the Seven Star Civilization were unknown to Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡­ Now, it seems the Alliance Hierarch, Lant Semi-Divine, and Principal Fang Hai are likely the core layer.


    Myself? Can only say just touched on some secrets, prepared to be in the core layer.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Ming Xu conflict is resolved, and your meritorious deeds have been approximately estimated,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Your contribution is the greatest, especially regarding the Divine Being Inheritance in the Civilization Mothership, plus the vast resources of the entire Ming Xu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°It could be said that, if calculated in Seven Stars Points, it might be an astronomical number,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head, ¡°But the treasures of the entire civilization are ultimately finite, and the early contest over the Star Realm drained a lot of resources.¡±


    ¡°Next, in exploring the Ming Xu Star Realm, it will require a massive investment of resources¡­¡±

 Chapter 590 - 334 - Where My Heart Is At Peace! Huge Reward_3

    Chapter 590: Chapter 334 ¨C Where My Heart Is At Peace! Huge Reward_3


    ¡°So, after various assessments by multiple demigods,¡±


    ¡°In the end, you were assigned 3 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile to Li Yuan, ¡°Don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little.¡±


    ¡°3 million? That¡¯s a lot,¡± Li Yuan repeatedly said.


    3 million Seven Stars Points, equivalent to 30 Fangshen Crystals¡­ For most demigods, that was absolutely a huge sum.


    Li Yuan truly hadn¡¯t expected the reward to be so high.


    Yes!


    ...


    The Alien God inheritances within the Civilization Mothership, the resources of the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ Once unearthed, their value would be incredibly astounding.


    But the key point was, they hadn¡¯t been unearthed yet.


    Over the past few years, the Seven Star Civilization had been continuously pouring investments into the wars involving the Mingxu Star Realm.


    And they hadn¡¯t seen much return yet.


    ¡°Not much,¡± Fang Hai said with a laugh beside him, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little, it¡¯s fine since taking out so many Seven Stars Points must have been after careful evaluation. Just be at ease when accepting it.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Those who contribute to the civilization deserve to be rewarded.¡±


    Fang Hai said, ¡°Thus, the whole civilization can operate smoothly; don¡¯t break this rule.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, if you have other gains and don¡¯t care about these Seven Star Points and don¡¯t take them, but what about other Flying Heaven Warriors and demigods? Will they also not take them?¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Over time, it would cause the motivation of many powerful beings to decrease.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded and no longer refused.


    Quickly, Li Yuan received a notification that 3 million Seven Stars Points had already been credited to his account in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    Once he entered the Flying Heaven Level,


    At that time, to cultivate multiple secret techniques, these points would be useful.


    ¡°Okay, Li Yuan, I¡¯ll be leaving first,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine smiled.


    Li Yuan saluted, watching as the other left.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you going straight back to the Martial Divine Star Realm, or what?¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Principal, I want to return to Jiang City for a few days,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice, ¡°I haven¡¯t been back in a long time, either.¡±


    ¡°To see your family?¡± Fang Hai nodded, ¡°Alright, then I will secretly follow and protect you these next few days, and I won¡¯t interfere with whatever you want to do.¡±


    ¡°Can I reveal my whereabouts?¡± Li Yuan asked in return.


    If he couldn¡¯t reveal them, then he would meet his family privately.


    People like Wan Qinghe would be inconvenient to meet.


    ¡°Just keep a low profile,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°As long as no demigods personally come, you¡¯re safe on Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°As Li Yuan, the Alien Race probably won¡¯t send a demigod,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai transformed into two streaks of flowing light flying in the void.


    Along the way, they looked down at the land below.


    At the moment, it was 5 in the morning, and there was a slight glow at the edge of the sky.


    And along the way, passing through bustling towns of Xia Country, Jiangnan Province, and other provinces, most lights were bright, with the vast majority of people still sleeping.


    But on many streets, numerous vendors had already begun their work for the new day.


    Time passed, and after six o¡¯clock,


    With Li Yuan¡¯s vision, he could see that, in some towns¡¯ schools, many students had already started their morning exercises¡­ full of vigor.


    These scenes made Li Yuan think back to himself several years ago.


    ¡°Numerous demigods defending locations in the Seven Stars.¡±


    ¡°Countless Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors venturing into the star realms, seizing resources¡­ Everything, isn¡¯t it just for this scene?¡± Li Yuan silently pondered.


    At this moment, his resolve grew even stronger.


    He would forever guard this land, protect this planet, and continue in peace.


    ¡­


    Several hours later, as daylight broke, Li Yuan and Fang Hai had entered Jiangbei Province.


    ¡°Jiangbei Province is known for its many lakes,¡± Fang Hai remarked.


    ¡°The Province of Thousand Lakes,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s why every summer, the floods are also severe.¡±


    ¡°Every advantage has its disadvantage,¡± Fang Hai laughed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    ¡°Jiang City, we¡¯re almost there,¡± Fang Hai pointed towards the distant city, now vaguely visible, and said, ¡°Go on, I¡¯ll be always guarding in the void.¡±


    ¡°My battleship has arrived.¡±


    Whoosh~


    A massive battleship from the distant void approached, the hatch opened, and Fang Hai directly entered the battleship.


    Subsequently, the surface of the battleship burst into light and almost completely vanished.


    A truly invisible battleship.


    ¡°Fourth Rank Battleship?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Later, I might also swap one to play with?¡±


    A Fourth Rank Battleship, one requires 100,000 Seven Stars Points to exchange, and it also requires at least the authority of the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Of course,


    Such a high price, most Flying Heaven Warriors simply couldn¡¯t afford it; it was mostly demigods who went to exchange.


    And Li Yuan, both authority and points were sufficient.


    ¡°Exchanging as Li Yuan might raise suspicions,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan flew across several lakes, and not long after, Starfire South Lake Community was already visible in the distance.


    ¡­


    Inside Li Yuan¡¯s family villa, today was destined to be exceptionally lively.


    ¡°Brother!¡±


    ¡°Big brother,¡± two excited voices rang out, both rushing towards Li Yuan, filled with excitement.


    ¡°Qianqian, Muhua,¡± Li Yuan also showed a smile, having not seen his younger siblings for several years, they had both grown up.


    They say a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and adulthood, Li Qianqian turned out graceful and elegant, quite similar to his youthful aunt.


    Li Muhua, however, resembled Li Yuan somewhat, just a bit broader and more robust.


    Both of them were about to enter their final year of high school.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan,¡± Chen Hui called out.


    ¡°Aunt, Uncle,¡± Li Yuan also walked forward swiftly.


    Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help but pat Li Yuan, examining him, seemingly worried that Li Yuan had lost weight.


    ¡°It¡¯s good you¡¯re back safely,¡± Li Changzhou smiled and said, ¡°Come on, your aunt started early this morning and made a table full of delicious food, just waiting for you to return.¡±


    ¡°Good, I haven¡¯t eaten Aunt¡¯s cooking in a long time,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    After more than a year, the family was reunited.

    ¡­


    Jiang City City Martial Hall, twelfth floor.


    ¡°The ¡®Flying Heaven Level¡¯ from the Starfire Martial Hall?¡±


    ¡°Passed through the city¡¯s air defense system?¡±


    ¡°Already entered Guan Mountain District?¡± Fei Qian looked at the report in his hand, filled with surprise.


    Someone like Li Yuan, flying in, would be detected by the city¡¯s air defense system.


    ...


    But once identified, they would be granted direct passage.


    At the same time, the relevant information would also be reported to the likes of Jiang City military, Starfire Martial Hall, government, and so on¡ªall would receive the notification.


    ¡°Who is it? How come I¡¯m not aware?¡± Fei Qian pondered, attempting to query.


    The result actually showed ¡®the other party¡¯s confidentiality level is too high to inquire¡¯.


    This took Fei Qian by even greater surprise.


    Normally speaking, given his strength and status, he was at least entitled to know about ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors coming in.


    ¡°Could it be, a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior from one of those days?¡± Fei Qian thought to himself, ¡°Jiang City, after all, hasn¡¯t produced many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Could it be Lin Yue has come back? But he¡¯s stationed at Rob Sea, he shouldn¡¯t come back all of a sudden.¡± Fei Qian pondered.


    He knew all the distinguished people who had emerged from Jiang City like the back of his hand.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Knock knock knock~¡± Someone knocked on the door.


    ¡°Master, Vice Hall Master Wan Qinghe is here to visit.¡± The voice of the auxiliary intelligence sounded.


    ¡°Qinghe?¡± Fei Qian muttered to himself, then said, ¡°Please, come in.¡±


    The door opened.


    Wan Qinghe, dressed in green, walked in, directly closed the door, stepped forward, and greeted, ¡°Elder Fei.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why so cautious?¡± Fei Qian straightened himself.


    ¡°Li Yuan just came back and would like to invite you and me to dine.¡± Wan Qinghe said softly.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Fei Qian was initially startled, then as if realizing something, he looked at the report in his hands.


    Guan Mountain District!!


    Just came back?


    It matches!!


    ¡°Unable to inquire? If it really is him, does it mean Li Yuan¡¯s status now rivals that of a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior?¡± Fei Qian was shocked.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wan Qinghe asked, puzzled, ¡°Elder Fei, won¡¯t you go?¡±


    ¡°Go! Of course, I must go.¡± Fei Qian smiled, ¡°Who else did he invite?¡±


    ¡°No one else.¡±


    ¡°Just the two of us,¡± Wan Qinghe laughed, ¡°Next year, we go to his home.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Fei Qian¡¯s smile grew even wider.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    After returning to Jiang City, Li Yuan spent time with his family and also met with some old acquaintances in secret.


    People like Fei Qian, Wan Qinghe from the Martial Hall, and his high school teachers such as Teacher Chen, and Principal Tan Zhenlong, were all visited individually by Li Yuan, who showed his courtesy.


    Three days later, inside a villa at South Lake Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°Uncle.¡± Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Starting this month, I will instruct Starfire Martial Hall to deliver Spiritual Liquid on time every month.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°You and auntie must take it regularly and try to cultivate as much as possible.¡±


    ¡°For auntie, occasionally urge her to train her body as well to maximize the effects of the Spiritual Liquid.¡±


    ¡°After a long time.¡±


    ¡°It should be enough to bring your Physical Quality up to Level 19.¡± Li Yuan looked at Li Changzhou.


    ¡°Fine.¡± Li Changzhou could not refuse anymore.


    Through their recent interactions, he had vaguely sensed that his nephew had undergone earth-shattering changes.


    Those exotic treasures worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins were acquired with a wave of his hand.


    ¡°It just so happens that I dreamed of becoming a Foundation Establishing Warrior when I was younger.¡± Li Changzhou laughed, ¡°I thought I was too old to have a chance, but with your treasures, perhaps I could give it a try.¡±


    ¡°Just right.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    To reach Level 20, one¡¯s skills must reach the Fourth Level.


    This cannot be achieved simply by external means.


    Thus, the Spiritual Liquid for which Li Yuan spent dozens of points could only ensure that his uncle and auntie¡¯s Physical Quality would eventually reach Level 19.


    The well-being of his family was Li Yuan¡¯s greatest wish.


    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ve already spoken with Hall Master Fei.¡±


    ¡°The Martial Hall will take Li Muhua¡¯s training even more seriously and will continuously arrange for Prime Warriors to teach him, striving for him to get into Starfire University. If not, he should still be able to enter Kunlun Martial University.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Muhua had quite decent talent and had been focusing on the Martial Path all along.


    Li Qianqian was far behind; she had chosen to pursue a cultural path, which Li Yuan did not interfere with.


    His sister¡¯s talents and temperament meant she was not suited for the Martial Path; rather than forcing her¡­ it was better to go along with her wishes.


    ¡°Uncle, about Xu Ling, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to trouble you to check on him occasionally, as I have arranged a cultivation plan at Starfire Martial Hall for him, but I really don¡¯t have the time to interact with him much more.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Xu Ling, as Xu Bo¡¯s direct descendant, Li Yuan always remembered his teacher¡¯s last wishes.


    He treated Xu Ling and Li Muhua the same.


    ¡°Yes, I will.¡± Li Changzhou nodded, ¡°He and Muhua also get along well.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled, with his uncle around, there was no need for him to worry too much about home.


    ¡­


    After saying goodbye to his family.


    Li Yuan did not rush to leave Jiang City, instead, he concealed his aura, traveled through the void, and arrived at the southernmost tip of Guan Mountain District ¨C a special cemetery ¨C the Heroes¡¯ Mausoleum.


    Those buried here were all the heroes who had made great sacrifices to protect their home and country in the history of Jiang City.


    Huh!


    Li Yuan twisted the surrounding light so as not to disturb others, gently landing in front of a gravestone. There were fresh flowers in front of the tombstone, indicating it was frequently visited.


    ¡°Teacher.¡± Li Yuan waved, and several bottles of liquor appeared out of thin air, gently falling down.


    Only later did Li Yuan find out from Tan Zhenlong that Xu Bo had a great love for fine liquor.


    But since returning injured back in the day, he seldom drank to suppress his condition.


    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance in the future.¡±


    ¡°I will definitely bring all the fine liquor I can find in this world as a tribute to my teacher.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, pouring out the liquor bottle by bottle.


    Finally, he bowed respectfully.


    And took off into the sky.


    ¡­


    High in the sky, Fang Hai had been waiting for a long time, a warship floating next to him.


    ¡°Principal, thank you for your help.¡± Li Yuan said.


    In the past few days, Fang Hai had been keeping watch around him.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ve been cultivating there anyway.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°The one you just paid tribute to, is that the high school teacher mentioned in the records?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Fang Hai patted Li Yuan on the shoulder, not asking further, he sighed, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two of them entered the warship.


    ¡­


    The journey was uneventful.


    Half a day later, Fang Hai delivered Li Yuan to the War Base just outside the Martial Divine Star Realm before turning back.


    In recent years, Fang Hai had mostly been stationed in the Kunlun Star Realm, seldom leaving for long.


    Huh!


    As soon as Li Yuan crossed the Star Realm Passage, arriving inside the Star Realm, he sensed many life forces on a huge platform.


    Among them, one aura was very familiar.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    A figure in a pale red robe was waiting not far away, smiling, ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    Li Yuan also showed a smile.

 Chapter 592 - 335: Three Years Later in the Blink of an Eye

    Chapter 592: Chapter 335: Three Years Later in the Blink of an Eye


    ¡°Lanyue.¡±


    Li Yuan took the initiative to meet her, smiling as he said, ¡°What brings you here?¡±


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to arrive in the Martial Divine Star Realm around ten o¡¯clock?¡± Clad in red, Lin Lanyue revealed a smile, ¡°So I thought I¡¯d come here to wait for you.¡±


    ¡°There was no need to do that ¡ª as soon as I returned, I naturally would have¡­¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°It¡¯s not the same,¡± Lin Lanyue interrupted Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan paused, his spiritual power was now so formidable that he could naturally sense the slight emotional change in Lin Lanyue.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan, let¡¯s head back first,¡± Lin Lanyue spoke softly: ¡°There are too many people here.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded, his gaze briefly sweeping over the distance.


    Many Prime Warriors stationed at the Star Realm Passage couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    Although the Prime Warriors here were certainly trusted immensely, it was best to be cautious in all matters.


    ¡°Take my vehicle,¡± Lin Lanyue said.


    ¡°I will take you back,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    He didn¡¯t wait for Lin Lanyue to refuse. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With just a thought from Li Yuan, an invisible force already enveloped Lin Lanyue, and together they flew towards the end of the earth ¡ª towards the Martial Divine Hall and Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡­High above, the wind howled ferociously.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t even wait for my agreement,¡± Lin Lanyue said helplessly, feeling the invisible force around her.


    ¡°It¡¯s faster this way,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two of them flew at high speed.


    ¡°The conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm has ended, I¡¯ve heard,¡± Lin Lanyue asked: ¡°What¡¯s next? Are you going out again?¡±


    Earlier at the Star Realm entrance, with so many people and eyes around, she had refrained from asking.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be going out for a while,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°In the next few years, before I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, I should mostly be staying in the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    The Martial Divine Star Realm was safe enough to ensure that no Semi Divine Level beings of the Alien Race would invade.


    ¡°Mhm mhm.¡± Lin Lanyue grinned.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan spoke with a hint of apology in his voice: ¡°Lanyue, I¡¯ve made you worry these past few months.¡±


    If not for San Ye Semi Divine urging Lin Lanyue to call him and hinting to her that he was the Spirit Gun,


    she wouldn¡¯t have been worried all this time.


    Hearing this, Lin Lanyue was momentarily stunned, her eyes brimming with a touch of radiance: ¡°It¡¯s fine, as long as you have returned safely.¡±


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s feelings for Li Yuan were quite complex.


    In high school, they were in different classes and always maintained a healthy competition; later, as Li Yuan¡¯s advancement quickened and considering her unique upbringing, Lin Lanyue found much resonance with him, and she could feel the effort behind Li Yuan¡¯s growth.


    At that time, she greatly admired Li Yuan.


    Therefore, she had helped Li Yuan many times, and even pleaded with her uncle and brother to assist when Li Changzhou was injured.


    At that time, she harbored a hint of affection for him.


    Later, as they entered different universities and their interactions dwindled, Lin Lanyue kept her feelings to herself, unexpressed, because her primary pursuit was to prove to the Blazing Flame Family that her mother¡¯s choice was correct and to rescue her mother.


    It wasn¡¯t until her ordeal within the World within Worlds when, after many hardships, she managed to gain recognition from the Fire System Divine¡­ Li Yuan came to her rescue.


    At the time, Lin Lanyue was overwhelmed with joy and excitement because she felt¡­ Li Yuan cared for her.


    In the World within Worlds, she faced the test of the Fire System Divine so quickly, partly because she wanted to head to the Martial Divine Star Realm sooner.


    Then, later on.


    Li Yuan¡¯s growth became increasingly rapid and brilliant, and when Lin Lanyue learned he was the Spirit Gun, she was shocked and happy for Li Yuan¡­ Until the recent conflict within the Mingxu Star Realm, where the news of Li Yuan¡¯s death had left her heartbroken.


    Even with some self-blame, Lin Lanyue thought that if she had not gone to the Fierce Feather Star Realm to send a message to Li Yuan, maybe he would not have died.


    Until a few days ago.


    When she received Li Yuan¡¯s communication and learned he was still alive, her excitement was unimaginable.


    ¡°I saw your message,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°You¡¯ve achieved Fifth Stage Perfection in your skills so quickly, you must be the fastest cultivator in the Martial Divine Star Realm outside of myself these past two years.¡±


    ¡°Alicia¡¯s breakthrough was a bit faster than mine,¡± Lin Lanyue said.


    ¡°She¡¯s two years older than us,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°Moreover, when she was at Fifth Stage Skill, you were only at Fourth Stage High Rank.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Lanyue smiled helplessly: ¡°You know better than anyone that my progress is so fast because my bloodline power plays a big part.¡±


    ¡°There are many in the Blazing Flame Family who have awakened their bloodlines, yet why are you the only one to achieve success?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°Don¡¯t sell yourself short.¡±


    ¡°By the way.¡±


    ¡°In a few years, once you¡¯ve condensed the True Meaning of Fire, you could try going to the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan suggested: ¡°You could see if you can attain the inheritance of the Fire System Alien God.¡±


    ¡°Fire System Alien God?¡± Lin Lanyue was puzzled.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Lanyue nodded vigorously.


    She was curious about Li Yuan¡¯s experiences and added, ¡°I hope it doesn¡¯t involve any secrets.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re at the Flying Heaven Peak level now, what I¡¯m telling you is within your rights to know,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Time passed.


    The two soared across the Vast Sky, one speaking, the other listening.


    Listening to Li Yuan recount his struggles with the Beast King and Beast Emperor, his adventures on the Civilization Mothership,


    Lin Lanyue came to know what Li Yuan had been through and understood the immense contributions he had made for their entire civilization.


    After a long while.


    ¡°We¡¯re at my residence,¡± Lin Lanyue looked down at the continuous palatial estates below, ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ll go down first, see you later.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Whoosh!


    Lin Lanyue leaped and gracefully descended dozens of meters, landing lightly in front of the mansion, turned back to nod at Li Yuan, and then Li Yuan soared into the sky, flying towards Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Seven Star Mountain?¡±


    ¡°I will also ascend Seven Star Mountain come July this year,¡± Lin Lanyue pledged silently in her heart.

    Chapter 593: Chapter 335: Three Years Later_2


    ¡­


    He returned to his long-missed dwelling in Seven Star Mountain.


    It was deathly silent, not a soul in sight.


    Apart from Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan had not yet told any other friends from Seven Star Mountain of his return. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He went straight to the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°All matters at home are settled.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I am at peace,¡± Li Yuan silently recited, ¡°it¡¯s time to continue working hard on my cultivation.¡±


    Li Yuan knew that his talents and strength meant he would never be an ordinary person who could enjoy happy times with his family.


    When the sky falls, the tall ones must hold it up.


    To the Seven Star Civilization, he was the future tall one.


    ¡°Work hard!¡±


    ¡°Stay focused! Do not slack off!¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The first thing to do is to sell all the useless items obtained from slaying other strong beings and exchange them for Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°The second is to buy treasures and remove the ¡®Star Technique Star Marks¡¯ from ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ and then re-cultivate ¡®True Solution of Heaven Wind Star Meridian.''¡±


    ¡°Then.¡±


    ¡°I will work hard to pursue the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°The day I reach the Eight Star Veins will be the time I sweep through many Second Level Star Realms and achieve Flying Heaven.¡±


    Buzz~


    With a thought, Li Yuan disappeared from the chamber, entering the Cave Heaven Treasure, ¡®Ancient Divine Palace.¡¯


    Only two grains of dust hung in the void.


    ¡°Huh? Where is Big Brother?¡± Liu Bing, who controlled the Heavenly Snake Hall, immediately felt her connection with Li Yuan weaken drastically, as if he had reached another space.


    She was shocked and tried to sense the outside world with her Divine Sense, but could find no trace of him.


    Shocked, she immediately thought of rushing out of the Heavenly Snake Hall to the outside world.


    ¡°Little Bing, don¡¯t panic,¡± a gentle voice spoke, it was Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°Li Yuan entered another Cave Heaven Treasure, which seems to be a treasure he owns¡­ Your big brother¡¯s background is deeper than you think,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed.


    ¡°Another Cave Heaven Treasure?¡± Liu Bing was even more surprised but felt slightly relieved, ¡°The deeper Big Brother¡¯s background, the happier I am.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Continue your cultivation, and try not to let your big brother outdo you.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, the vast, ancient main hall.


    Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere and immediately saw a girl in a white dress with bare little feet not far away: ¡°Sister.¡±


    ¡°You finally decided to come in.¡± Gu You said with a smiling face, ¡°The harvest from your journey to the Star Realm seems substantial, even bringing out another Cave Heaven Treasure, which just now extended a force, trying to probe me.¡±


    ¡°But, the Ancient Divine Palace is not so easily disturbed,¡± Gu You said, ¡°That power was not very strong.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Snake Hall?¡± A glint passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes; this was within his expectations.


    He couldn¡¯t fully control the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    In fact, Li Yuan guessed that Qiu Bingzun might have hidden some forces within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    Just like Ancient Torch Divine might leave some forces within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°That¡¯s another Spirit Beast I collected,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°related to the secrets of Ming Xu Star Realm¡­¡±


    As time passed, Li Yuan roughly narrated his experiences in the Ming Xu Star Realm to Gu You.


    Li Yuan still trusted Gu You considerably.


    At least, compared to Qiu Bingzun, Gu You was more trustworthy.


    Of course, things Li Yuan talked about, like Qiu Bingzun, Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, involving oaths of Law, couldn¡¯t be directly mentioned.


    ¡°Law oath? I understand,¡±


    ¡°True God Heritage is not easy to obtain, each True God is a top-tier powerhouse in your Dimensional Domain,¡± Gu You nodded, ¡°But no matter, since that Cave Heaven Treasure belongs to your Spirit Beast and you have established a blood pact, she should be trustworthy and will eventually make a move¡­ I will naturally observe secretly and analyze.¡±


    ¡°Whether you speak or not, it doesn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Instantly, Li Yuan changed the subject, ¡°Sis, did you secretly deploy forces to infiltrate the virtual network of Blue Star?¡±


    ¡°You knew?¡± Surprise flickered in Gu You¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°It was the Alliance Hierarch who told me,¡± Li Yuan quickly told her everything.


    He also mentioned a little about the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°What a Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°Truly formidable! No wonder I felt hidden powers while inquiring into Blue Star, considering your words, it must be a planetary defense system,¡± Gu You spoke somberly.


    ¡°Civilization defense system?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°It¡¯s a technological method that can protect the entire planet; looking at it now, Blue Star¡¯s defense system is at least Fourth Rank, capable of resisting ninety-nine percent of demigods, and in terms of resource inquiry and anti-spying among many other aspects, it¡¯s quite astonishing,¡± the girl said, ¡°Blue Star¡¯s virtual network host¡­ must be Sixth Rank, otherwise, it couldn¡¯t block my inquiry.¡±


    ¡°Impressive!¡±


    ¡°Your civilization¡¯s depth is stronger than I thought.¡±


    ¡°Back in the day, only a few important planets in father¡¯s territory could reach this level of defense system,¡± the girl marvelled.


    Li Yuan listened in astonishment.


    Does Blue Star really have such a defense system?


    But previously, why had he never heard of it? When Blue Star faced minor invasions, why didn¡¯t the defense system come into play?


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan recalled what the Alliance Hierarch had said, ¡°A sense of crisis is necessary for the advancement of the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, without demigod-level invasions causing massive casualties, even if there truly is a planetary defense system, it may not act,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally, ¡°Alliance Hierarch, how many secrets are you still hiding?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Since your Alliance Hierarch is so competent, I will withdraw many of the forces I dispatched,¡± Gu You smiled.


    ¡°Sis.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°In the future, if you have similar actions, could you let me know first?¡±

 Chapter 594 - 335: Three Years Later_3

    Chapter 594: Chapter 335: Three Years Later_3


    Li Yuan¡¯s voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Gu You revealed a smile, ¡°Actually, I just wanted to find out the details of your civilization to prepare for the future, since one can never be too cautious.¡±


    ¡°But now it seems that your civilization is very strong and values you highly¡­ It is I who have been too cautious.¡± Gu You said, ¡°Your strength is also growing ever stronger. From now on, I will seek your opinion.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan responded. He wouldn¡¯t demand too much from Gu You.


    ¡°Brother.¡±


    ¡°You just said that your civilization is very close to the ¡®Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡¯ on the outskirts of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Gu You said.


    ...


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°This is your opportunity, you must seize it.¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Since you already know many secrets, I will not hide from you that my father descended to this Dimensional Domain from the Divine Realm indeed for the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ but ultimately he failed.¡±


    ¡°The Battle of the Gods, my father was defeated by other deities and thus died.¡± Gu You shook his head, ¡°Last time, Xiao Huo sensed that the ¡®Chi Yan Deity¡¯ from the Immortal Ruins Civilization had severely wounded the True Phoenix.¡±


    ¡°I will not hide from you now, among those who besieged my father, there were two native True Gods, but I don¡¯t know if they belong to the True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was secretly shocked.


    Two native True Gods?


    ¡°Our Dimensional Domain has native True Gods?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°There should be.¡±


    ¡°In a Dimensional Domain, vast and expansive, even if there are only a few hundred God Level Civilizations¡­ it¡¯s quite normal for True Gods to be born over the long years.¡± Gu You said, ¡°Like the enemies of your Seven Star Civilization¡ª the Myriad Demons Civilization, haven¡¯t they produced True Gods in their history?¡±


    ¡°Right.¡± Li Yuan nodded, also feeling the pressure.


    Although the entire Dimensional Domain is far less than the Divine Realm, he has also received the heritage of two True Gods¡­ but just the enemies within the Dimensional Domain are already quite formidable.


    A Demigod only dominates within a civilization.


    A Pseudo-God is a local overlord.


    A True God is the dominating existence in the Dimensional Domain.


    ¡°However, your talent is extremely high, and if you awaken the Eight Star Veins as you said, it may be unprecedented in the Dimensional Domain for millions of years.¡±


    Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°You are also a native being, favored by the origin of this Dimensional Domain, the hope of unlocking the secrets of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the future is much greater than my father¡¯s.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, his heart still full of ambition.


    Time passed, and after a long conversation with Gu You, Li Yuan received much guidance and left the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside a very special building.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°These many weapons and treasures, our Seven Stars Treasury can offer the highest price after tax of approximately 126,000 Seven Stars Points.¡± The leading Flying Heaven Level Appraiser said respectfully.


    ¡°Good, it will be 126,000 Seven Stars Points.¡± Duanmu Hong said.


    Immediately, he allowed the other party to take away a large number of ordinary treasures, including over a hundred Storage Treasures.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan walked out from behind the scenes.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you heard as well.¡± Duanmu Hong looked at Li Yuan, ¡°126,000 Seven Stars Points after tax, don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s enough, I appreciate your trouble, Mountain Lord,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    These points treasures were left over from the killing of those ordinary Flying Heavens, alien race geniuses, some of which were given to Teacher Li Yang¡­ Normally, there wouldn¡¯t be so many treasures, but people like Fu Yuan carried treasures almost equal to those at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Plus, they got quite a few treasures from the Six Great Alien Gods.


    In the end, all were to Li Yuan¡¯s benefit.


    If he sold them directly under the identity of ¡®Li Yuan,¡¯ it would attract too much attention, so Li Yuan turned to Duanmu Hong.


    ¡°You got quite a haul in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Duanmu Hong mused.


    ¡°It¡¯s decent, thank you Mountain Lord.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. The most valuable treasure he acquired this time was the Deity Visualization Method.


    However, Li Yuan did not plan to sell it just yet.


    Sell it to the Seven Star Civilization? No! It would be most worthwhile to trade it with a Demigod within the civilization when he was strong enough.


    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yuan¡¯s account received 126,000 Seven Stars Points. He then spent over ten thousand points to buy a large number of treasures.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°First, wash away the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ from the Perfect Star Vein.¡± Li Yuan sensed the large number of Exotic Treasures floating around him.


    La la la~


    With his spiritual power in harmony with Origin Power, he operated the ¡°Star Technique Melting Method,¡± starting to absorb the essence contained in the large number of Exotic Treasures, and, following the Method, gradually excavated traces on the Star Vein.


    The process was very painful.


    ¡°Fortunately, I have only cultivated this star technique to the Second Rank Limit.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If I had cultivated to the Fourth Rank Limit, Fifth Rank Limit, and the Star Marks had penetrated the Life Star¡­ the price to dissolve the Star Technique Star Mark would be even greater.¡±


    The stronger the Star Technique, the more troublesome it is to re-cultivate.


    Not only does it need many Exotic Treasures for assistance, but it¡¯s also full of danger¡­ If one¡¯s True Intent Comprehension and spiritual power are not strong enough, it might lead to the collapse of the Star Meridian.


    It¡¯s like a building. If you want to demolish it to rebuild, the higher the building, the more difficult the demolition.


    After five whole days.


    ¡°Finally, completely dissolved.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Washing away a Star Technique is more troublesome than cultivating it.¡±


    ¡°But.¡± S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Now I can cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Wind Star Vein¡¯.¡± Li Yuan felt a surge of anticipation.


    What kind of might will the top support Star Technique have?


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan directly entered the Ancient Divine Palace and went to the ¡®Divine Crystal Chamber¡¯ to begin cultivation.


    The ¡°True Solution of the Wind Star Vein¡± and the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± were both top support Star Techniques. The first two ranks of cultivation were similar, both requiring a large amount of Divine Crystal Energy.


    The Divine Crystal Chamber could save a lot of resources.


    ¡­


    Half a month later.


    In the Ancient Divine Palace, Hundred Battles Arena.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were dark, and with a thought, wisps of Wind Fluctuations appeared around him, allowing him to easily sense the subtle and special mysteries between heaven and earth.

 Chapter 595 - 335: Three Years Later_4

    Chapter 595: Chapter 335: Three Years Later_4


    ¡°`


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Swoosh! In an instant, Li Yuan split into nine, creating nine phantom bodies that interweaved with each other, agile and ghostly, easily evading the siege of several Flying Heaven Level Golden Armored Warriors nearby.


    ¡°Indeed!¡±


    ¡°Although I¡¯m without the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone,''¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°after cultivating the ¡®Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Resolution,¡¯ I¡¯m like Xiaobing, innately compatible with the Wind Law. I can reach the same level of True Intent Comprehension, yet display even stronger combat power.¡±


    The strongest auxiliary Star Technique was not only helpful for Enlightenment but was also a significant advantage in combat.


    ...


    ¡°I!¡±


    ¡°First, I must obtain the ¡®Origin of Heavenly Wind¡¯ to transform my body,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now, after cultivating the strongest auxiliary Star Technique¡­ my compatibility with the Wind Law has almost caught up with the Law of Earth.¡±


    By now,


    Li Yuan¡¯s talent in both the Earth and Wind Laws could be considered on par.


    It was destined that his comprehension of the Wind Law would progress at an astonishing speed.


    ¡°However!¡±


    ¡°True Intent cultivation is indeed slow,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If I remain stuck at the Prime Warrior realm, I don¡¯t know if I could deduce both True Intents to the threshold of the Law within ten years.¡±


    The further in cultivation one went, the more difficult it became.


    Especially for Li Yuan, who cultivated two different True Intents. Even if they stimulated each other, it would definitely be slower than if he only focused on one.


    ¡°Unless.¡±


    ¡°My spiritual power reaches the Semi-Divine Level,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Once spiritual power underwent a transformation, one¡¯s sensitivity to the operation of the heavens and the earth became clearer, and the compatibility with the Laws would naturally surge.


    Many Demigods, who had barely achieved True Intent Perfection after a hundred years of Flying Heaven Level cultivation, could, upon being established as Demigods, often have a chance to touch upon the Threshold of the Law in just decades. This was the reason.


    Body, soul; these were the foundation.


    Improving the foundation would bring all-around progress.


    ¡­


    After successfully cultivating the ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Resolution,¡±


    Li Yuan finally emerged from seclusion and sent out invitations to many friends, including Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and Alicia, for a gathering at a restaurant.


    ¡°Li Yuan has come out of seclusion.¡±


    ¡°To the banquet.¡± Upon receiving the invitation, nearly all who were not out of the Martial Divine Star Realm attended.


    Li Yuan¡¯s appearance also indirectly dispelled some rumors within the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, Li Yuan¡¯s life returned to tranquility, as he continued his days of concealed cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.


    May 2046, Blue Star.


    At Kunlun Martial University, in the Quiet Cultivation Room of the Fourth Rank Battleship hovering high above, Fang Hai in black clothes was meditating cross-legged.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± Beams of light shot out from all around, illuminating the entire Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Fang Hai opened his eyes with a glint of surprise in them.


    Why would the battleship suddenly lose control without any alert from the auxiliary AI?


    Whoosh~ The light converged, forming a figure shrouded in a white robe, with an indiscernible face.


    ¡°Young Hai.¡± The voice from the white-robed figure was deep.


    ¡°Master Yun.¡± Fang Hai immediately recognized who it was, an assistant to Dongfang Ji.


    This was a secret within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Many Demigods were unaware of the existence of this white-robed figure, but as a direct disciple of Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai knew well.


    Outwardly, San Ye Semi Divine was the grand steward of the Starfire Martial Hall. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, Fang Hai knew that this white-robed figure in front of him could be regarded as the grand steward of the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°The ¡®Dragon Spring Tide¡¯ from the Wanhan Star Realm will appear in three days,¡± the white-robed figure spoke deeply. ¡°Are you ready?¡±


    ¡°Dragon Spring Tide?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes brightened, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Master Yun, are you certain?¡±


    ¡°`


    For this day, he had waited a long time.


    He had remained at the Flying Heaven Level for a lengthy period, firstly for the Nine Leaves World in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain and secondly for this great opportunity in the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ but the unexpected breakthrough in spiritual power led him to awaken his Seven Star Veins ahead of time.


    Now, this opportunity in the Wanhan Star Realm could potentially take him even further.


    Eight Star Veins? Fang Hai did not dare to dream.


    But it was hopeful to strengthen the already-awakened seven Star Meridians or even awaken an additional Nine Layers Star Vein.


    ¡°The Mothership Mainframe Deduction.¡± said the figure in the white robe, ¡°And I have collected a massive amount of data¡­ There can be no mistake.¡±


    ¡°The only issue is whether your strength is sufficient or not?¡± the white-robed figure continued, ¡°Within the Wanhan Star Realm, both the Cloud Beast Civilization and Tianliang Civilization have Demigods stationed.¡±


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine can help you restrain one at most.¡±


    The Wanhan Star Realm was crucial¡­ the Seven Star Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and Tianliang Civilization had all left behind numerous Flying Heaven Warriors over the decades, and there had been several ascent to Demigod.


    San Ye Semi Divine was from the Seven Star Civilization.


    While on Blue Star, it was Dantai Lie Demigod who guarded the entry point, ensuring that the Star Realm¡¯s entry point would not be easily breached, from the inside out.


    Defense is easy, attack is hard!


    ¡°Those two Demigods are also merely ordinary Demigods,¡± whispered Fang Hai, ¡°I have about a fifty percent chance of success.¡±


    Had it been before his Star Meridian breakthrough, Fang Hai would have had to take a risk.


    But after awakening his Seven Star Meridians, he had practiced even more powerful Star Techniques, and his overall strength had greatly increased¡­ He now possessed the possibility of defeating a Demigod from a lower tier.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Master has prepared an item for your protection,¡± said the figure in the white robe, ¡°It¡¯s worth 1 million Seven Stars Points. Do you want it? If you do, you¡¯ll have to come get it, but it¡¯s not without cost, it will be put on your account.¡±


    ¡°I have to remind you.¡±


    ¡°You already owe a total of 860,000 Seven Stars Points, and if you add another million Seven Stars Points¡­ the interest is quite high,¡± said the white-robed figure.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it!¡± said Fang Hai without hesitation.


    He also sighed inwardly; his teacher Dongfang Ji was excellent in every respect, the only thing was that he seldom gave treasures directly, nearly all treasures had to be accounted for in Seven Stars Points.


    Fortunately, Dongfang Ji allowed him to incur debt¡­ but with interest!


    And the things Dongfang Ji provided were often exactly what he urgently needed.


    This led to Fang Hai always being quite poor.


    ¡°The more debt, the less worry, teacher just wants to motivate me with this method,¡± Fang Hai saw through it clearly, ¡°As long as I can succeed this time and become a Demigod¡­ these Seven Stars Points won¡¯t amount to much.¡±


    He had many treasures on him, all of immense value, but they were essential to him and couldn¡¯t be exchanged for Seven Stars Points.


    Merely an hour later, Fang Hai left Kunlun Martial University.


    At the same time.


    Two pieces of news quickly spread: ¡°The President of Kunlun Martial University has stepped down.¡±


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master of Starfire Blue Star has stepped down.¡±


    The former news did not attract much attention, but the latter was absolutely explosive, rapidly spreading through the entire upper echelons of Blue Star and even many powerful beings on other planets were quickly made aware.

    Upon learning of Fang Hai¡¯s resignation, Li Yuan, who was far away in the Martial Divine Star Realm, also quickly got the news, but he did not pay much attention.


    After all, Fang Hai had already said he was close to becoming a Demigod.


    In July 2046, during the new Battle of Seven Stars, Alicia and Lin Lanyue both won seven battles and ascended Seven Star Mountain.


    In August 2046, the news that Lude Nef had broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior finally spread.


    Time passed, day by day.


    In May 2047, the breakthrough of Yu Jinghe into a Flying Heaven Warrior was announced, which also made many parties within the Seven Star Civilization sentimental.


    However, many Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods within the Seven Star Civilization were curious, when would that peerless prodigy ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ break through to the Flying Heaven Level?


    Not only within the Seven Star Civilization, but many Foreign Civilizations were also extremely interested.


    After all, a Prime Warrior comparable to the peak of Flying Heaven was too extraordinary.


    Yet, there was no news, and since the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, Spirit Gun had disappeared once again.


    No matter how the various powers conducted inquiries, they could not track down any trace of him.


    In the blink of an eye, time had advanced to the autumn of 2049.

 Chapter 596 - 336: Killing a Demigod (Add 3 More)

    Chapter 596: Chapter 336: Killing a Demigod (Add 3 More)


    Seven Star Mountain, seven peaks stretched continuously, standing tall in the kilometer-high void.


    The entire Martial Divine Star Realm had entered autumn, but on Seven Star Mountain, it was spring all year round, with no snow ever falling.


    In front of palace residences, a huge flying vehicle was parked in the square.


    ¡°Wind, inherently formless.¡±


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged at the forefront of the square, gazing at the horizon, feeling the fierce wind blowing between heaven and earth, and felt a sincere comfort in his heart.


    A kilometer away, Lin Lanyue in a red robe, was holding a long sword, silently practicing her swordsmanship. With the changes in her sword movements, streaks of sword light, which even generated strands of flames, swept through the void.


    ...


    This was the power of flames.


    She was cultivating with all her heart.


    Suddenly!


    ¡°Boom!¡± The sword light swept across, like a blessing to the heart, a dazzling sword light suddenly sliced through a hundred meters of space, creating a fiery sword trail that directly chopped several trees in half at their midsections. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They collapsed one after another.


    ¡°This?¡± A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes, feeling as if she had touched the mysterious and profound mysteries between heaven and earth.


    When this sword stroke passed, many past confusions seemed to be resolved effortlessly.


    Whoosh!


    A figure flashed by, it was Li Yuan, who sensed the intense fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth during his meditation.


    ¡°This sword.¡± Li Yuan looked amazed at the scene.


    A sword stroke over a hundred meters of void?


    There was no fluctuation of Origin Power, merely the transformation of the power of heaven and earth.


    ¡°Lanyue, have you comprehended the True Meaning of Fire?¡± Li Yuan asked with delight.


    ¡°It seems so,¡± Lin Lanyue hesitated slightly.


    She raised her finger, and flames emerged at her fingertips, swirling around as if forming a fireball.


    Immediately following, an invisible force lifted Lin Lanyue, causing her to slowly rise and hover in the void.


    Flying in the air.


    A hallmark of a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Good.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, he laughed, ¡°Haha, Lanyue, congratulations. It¡¯s not even a year since you started to condense the embryonic form of True Intent, and you¡¯ve already successfully comprehended the True Meaning of Fire.¡±


    Whoosh! With a thought from Lin Lanyue, she controlled the initially grasped power of heaven and earth to slowly descend, smiling at Li Yuan, ¡°Li Yuan, others saying I cultivate fast is one thing, but you¡­ I always feel like you¡¯re mocking me.¡±


    Lin Lanyue was well aware that Li Yuan had progressed from the embryonic form of True Intent to condensing True Intent in less than a month.


    ¡°I¡¯m not mocking you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°On Seven Star Mountain, how many True Intent Prime Warriors are there under the age of thirty? You¡¯re only 24.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, no longer objecting.


    Over the past three years, her progress had indeed been rapid, advancing from Fifth Stage Perfection to now stepping into the Sixth Stage¡­ Her speed was extraordinarily exaggerated, significantly faster than Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef were in their time.


    After all, not everyone could compare with Li Yuan.


    Such rapid progress was partly due to her True Phoenix Bloodline, but her cultivation was also extremely arduous.


    ¡°Li Yuan, have you felt any breakthroughs in these past few months?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy.¡±


    ¡°Since half a year ago, when I felt that the True Meaning of Wind had reached its limit, it¡¯s become difficult to progress further,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°From Intermediate Rank True Intent to High Rank¡­ this is a chasm.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly extended a finger.


    Phew~


    The power of heaven and earth surged, and an invisible fluctuation shot out from his fingertip, like a flicker of Spear Light, instantly spanning hundreds of meters of void¡­ An invisible force, but Lin Lanyue sensed it incredibly clearly, a lasting finger mark appeared in the void.


    Only a True Intent powerhouse could sense this mark.


    ¡°Is this the power of nearly Sixth Stage High Rank from heaven and earth?¡± Lin Lanyue exclaimed in admiration. ¡°Li Yuan, this is just your True Meaning of Wind¡­ How much stronger would it be if you combined it with the even stronger True Meaning of Earth, with the mysteries of the True Meaning of Wind?¡±


    Over recent years.


    Both had resided on Seven Star Mountain, frequently encountering each other. Lin Lanyue was well aware of how greatly Li Yuan had progressed.


    His comprehension of True Intent had increased immeasurably compared to three years ago.


    In Lin Lanyue¡¯s view, even Duanmu Mountain Master, the ¡®Star Master¡¯, once Li Yuan combined two major True Intents to burst forth¡­ might not match Li Yuan in terms of True Intent comprehension.


    ¡°Combining True Intents?¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    For these three years, his Level of Life hadn¡¯t improved and was still at the Prime Warrior limit.


    But in other aspects, his progress had been tremendous.


    Like the True Meaning of Earth, which had stepped into the Sixth Stage High Rank half a year ago¡­ The True Meaning of Wind also improved rapidly, reaching the limit of Sixth Stage Middle Rank, and was just one step away from stepping into Sixth Stage High Rank.


    Both True Intents separately were at the Flying Heaven Peak level.


    Once combined to burst forth?


    ¡°I feel like I might be able to compare with a Demigod,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a hint of admiration in her eyes.


    ¡°Perhaps,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°But that¡¯s just the most ordinary class of Demigod.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s already very powerful,¡± Lin Lanyue remarked. ¡°Demigod level¡­ is already the peak force of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Clearly, she wasn¡¯t deeply aware of the innermost secrets of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I believe in you. You will surely become the strongest in the history of our civilization,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile. ¡°Even stronger than the Alliance Leader.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the only one who would say that,¡± Li Yuan chuckled, but his mood was increasingly buoyant.


    These three years, most of the time, was spent on Seven Star Mountain.


    Cultivation was tedious.


    Initially, Li Yuan felt a lot of gratitude towards Lin Lanyue.


    For Lin Lanyue, it started with admiration for Li Yuan, then gradually turned into affection¡­ over these three years, the two of them, accompanying each other through arduous cultivation, unknowingly developed deeper feelings, both aware of each other¡¯s sentiment, yet without fully breaking the ice.


    Companionship is the longest confession of love.


    ¡°Lanyue, let¡¯s head back,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve just begun to condense True Intent, further meditation in seclusion will yield greater gains.¡±


    ¡°If you can take it a step further, you could attempt to go to Fierce Feather Star Realm, Ming Xu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan added.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded.


    Over the years, as Ming Xu Star Realm gradually developed, the secrets of Ming Mountain¡­ were no longer a major secret for members of Seven Star Mountain.


    All True Intent Prime Warriors had nearly all attempted to enter the Civilization Mothership, but unfortunately, no one else could gain recognition from the Alien God.


    Divine Being Inheritance wasn¡¯t something easy to come by.


    ¡­


    Watching Lin Lanyue walk away,


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Uncle and aunt really approve of Lanyue.¡±


    During the New Year in February this year, Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue had visited Jiang City.


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were very satisfied with Lin Lanyue, particularly impressed¡­ especially the aunt, who had privately advised Li Yuan.


    ¡°Let nature take its course.¡±


    ¡°When the right time comes, it will happen naturally.¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t actively pursuing this matter.


    Sigh!


    As he returned to the plaza, Li Yuan casually sat down and felt the Mysteries of Wind between heaven and earth.


    ¡°I possess the Thousand Illusions Formation Map.¡±


    ¡°With the aid of ¡®True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein,¡¯ how is it that I still haven¡¯t broken through after so long?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°If I could break through the True Meaning of Wind¡­ the might of my Spear Technique would likely approach the Threshold of the Law.¡±


    Nowadays, compared to three years ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique had already undergone a transformation.


    If he could advance further, undoubtedly, it would alarm countless Flying Heaven Warriors.


    From Sixth Stage Perfection to the Seventh Stage Law, that again would be a transformation.


    Yet, to take this step, even though Li Yuan combined two True Intents, it was extremely difficult.


    ¡°True Intent Comprehension has improved greatly, but as for spiritual power and Star Meridian¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze flicked toward the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡­


    ¡°With under the harsh grinding of the sun, my willpower had stepped into the Semi-Divine Level two years ago,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But it¡¯s tough for spiritual power to break through to the Semi-Divine Level!¡±


    A year ago, his spiritual power had already reached level 39.9, but it had been stagnant ever since.


    Indeed, Li Yuan had spent tens of thousands of points to purchase various Fourth Rank Treasures from the Seven Stars Treasury, all aimed at enhancing spiritual power¡­ but to no avail.


    The breakthrough of such a major bottleneck is seldom aided by ordinary external means.


    ¡°If I could reach the Flying Heaven Level and undergo a transformation of the flesh, perhaps my spiritual power might break through,¡± Li Yuan secretly sighed.


    Soul and body are inseparably linked.


    It is indeed extremely difficult for a Prime Warrior¡¯s body to nurture a Semi-Divine Level Soul.


    As for the cultivation of the Star Meridian, although it gets harder later on, Li Yuan was becoming increasingly composed.


    ¡°Still continually awakening Life Stars.¡±


    ¡°The first six Star Meridians are already so powerful, and now, there are numerous Unowned Life Stars in my Life Starry Sky¡­ awakening the seventh Star Meridian should be very close,¡± Li Yuan reflected.


    ¡°Time.¡±


    ¡°Ample time will make me incredibly powerful.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just turned 24 years old, so there is no rush,¡± Li Yuan calmly thought to himself.


    Long-term cultivation is also a refinement of the spirit. Three years? Even ten years, Li Yuan could wait.


    ¡­


    As autumn gave way to winter, in the blink of an eye, the entire Martial Divine Star Realm except for the Seven Star Mountain was blanketed in vast snowfall.


    It was during this winter.


    A sensational piece of news broke out from Blue Star, and in an extremely short time, it shook the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°A Demigod has fallen!!¡±


    ¡°Just one battle, and a Demigod from the Cloud Beast Civilization alongside Tassi, a Demigod from the Tianliang Civilization, have fallen!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Warrior, he successfully slew two Demigods in the Wanhan Star Realm!¡±


    ¡°Weren¡¯t people saying Fang Hai was stuck at his bottleneck and couldn¡¯t advance?¡±


    ¡°Heaven!¡± This news, like a hurricane, not only swept through the entire Seven Star Civilization but also reached the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and many other powerful civilizations, shocking everyone.


    Even the legendary Divine Beings were inquiring about this matter.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior, slaying a Demigod.


    Not only was this the first instance in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, but even considering the whole Dimensional Domain, it¡¯s a rare occurrence, signifying the true rise of a peerless genius.


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader, an invincible Demigod, once fought and killed dozens of Demigods, deterring the Myriad Demons Civilization from invading. Perhaps he has already become a Divine Being by now.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai, hidden for decades, erupted in one day! He is even more terrifying than his teacher was back in the day.¡±


    ¡°The mysterious Spirit Gun, equally monstrous.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, reportedly his strength is not inferior to Yu Jinghe back in the days.¡±


    ¡°Our Seven Star Civilization is truly on the rise.¡± The high-ranking Flying Heaven Warriors and above of the entire Seven Star Civilization were excited and exhilarated.


    The birth of a Divine Being is beneficial to the entire civilization.


    And these few individuals, perhaps they might all become Divine Beings in the future.


    ¡­


    Seven Star Mountain, inside the palace.


    ¡°Principal, cultivating two Supreme Star Techniques is about to turn into a Demigod?¡± Li Yuan, looking at the information sent by the Alliance Leader, asked.

 Chapter 597 - 337: Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope

    Chapter 597: Chapter 337: Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope


    The intelligence report from Dongfang Ji was much more detailed than what was spread through the virtual network.


    ¡°Dragon Spring Tide of the Wanhan Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Containing a Supreme Treasure of the Water Lineage?¡± Li Yuan perused the report, secretly marveling.


    It roughly described Fang Hai¡¯s experiences over the years, spending most of his time within the Wanhan Star Realm.


    What exactly was the Dragon Spring Tide? The report did not say.


    ¡°It must be a treasure like the source of the Heaven Wind that the Alliance Hierarch values so highly, and even caused the principal to transform,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ...


    Although he had awakened his Mind Spirit Divine Palace and even received the heritage from two True Gods, Li Yuan did not dare to underestimate the Alliance Hierarch and the principal.


    ¡°In the vast world, countless encounters.¡±


    ¡°Every person is the protagonist of their own life. Who can reason out the ordinary?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Just like me, who would have thought that in just six years, as a mere Prime Warrior, without even becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, my True Intent Comprehension would reach the threshold of a demigod?¡±


    Li Yuan was extremely satisfied with the progress of his True Intent over the past three years, which was much greater than that of the previous three years.


    He believed that when the time for an explosion of power came, he would surely surprise many Foreign Civilizations.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Now is not yet the time to make a move.¡± Li Yuan sent the message files and, after thinking for a bit, sent a congratulatory message to Principal Fang Hai.


    ¡°Continue cultivating.¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his mind, once again immersing his consciousness in the Life Starry Sky. Years passed, and the once dim Life Starry Sky had become ever more dazzling.


    ¡°Awaken.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Mental Consciousness divided and roamed within the Life Starry Sky, following the dazzling Star Meridians, capturing their mystical movements, and trying to discover more Life Stars.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Li Yuan suddenly grunted, feeling a sudden trembling in the Star Meridians, his body suffering injuries¡­ the awakening failed.


    Another thread of Mental Consciousness was extinguished.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting tougher. Even with my level 39.9 spiritual power, attempting to continue exploring and awakening on such a strong Star Meridian foundation is increasingly difficult.¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°The speed of awakening Life Stars is slowing down.¡±


    Each Life Star that awakens needs to be integrated with Mental Consciousness.


    It requires the soul to bear it.


    Although Li Yuan was of Six Star Pulse, each Star Meridian was exceptionally strong, and the pressure on his soul far exceeded that of ordinary strong individuals with Six Star Pulse.


    Eventually.


    After spending over an hour and failing four times, Li Yuan finally successfully awakened more than ten Life Stars.


    And continuous injuries to his body forced Li Yuan to stop.


    ¡°Need to rest for at least three days.¡±


    ¡°Law Creation.¡±


    ¡°The closer to the limit, the tougher it is.¡±


    ¡°I thought too simply of the Seven Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight frown, ¡°No wonder they are called legendary.¡± S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Now, with so many Unowned Life Stars in my Life Starry Sky, theoretically awakening two or three more Star Meridians would be more than enough.¡± Li Yuan sensed the vast number of Unowned Life Stars within him.


    A large number of Life Stars, far more than three years ago, but since they had not formed a Star Meridian, they could not be utilized.


    Four years ago, after the second Spiritual Guidance, Li Yuan once thought the awakening of the Seven Stars was imminent.


    But these four years of Law Creation told him.


    He had been wrong.


    ¡°There are quite a few with Six Star Pulse within the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But looking at the entire Dimensional Domain, across tens of thousands of Dimensional Planes, today there might only be Principal Fang Hai able to slay a demigod with Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    He pondered for a moment.


    Whoosh! With a thought, Li Yuan entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Three years, such great progress with the Star Meridian, even the weakest one has awakened to Sixth Layers, and you still think it¡¯s slow?¡± Upon hearing Li Yuan¡¯s account, Gu You¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°Is it not slow?¡± Li Yuan asked in confusion.


    ¡°Wrong!¡±


    ¡°You are terribly wrong!!¡± The girl shook her head and said, ¡°Brother, do you really think that it took you one year to go from a One Star Pulse to a Six Star Pulse, so after a few more years, you will definitely awaken to the Seven Star Pulse?¡±


    ¡°By that logic, should ten years be enough to awaken the legendary Nine Star Pulse?¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy!¡±


    ¡°If it were so simple, someone who is a Prime Warrior would have awakened Seven Star Pulse,¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°In that case, the Divine Realm would be filled with Seven Star Pulse, and there wouldn¡¯t be so many divines stuck at Six Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°Many true gods are also at Six Star Pulse.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    ¡°If the difficulty from Three Star Pulse to Five-Star Meridian is 1, then from Five-Star Meridian to Six Star Pulse the difficulty is 100, and from Six Star Pulse to Seven Star Pulse, the difficulty is at least 10,000,¡± said Gu You, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°For this reason, even when you initially showed such a high Star Vein Talent, I only expected you to become a Seven Star Pulse in the Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been creating laws for so long,¡± Gu You said, ¡°You should understand, the further you awaken the Star Pulse, the more you reach the limits of your current soul strength and skill level.¡±


    ¡°Like many Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors with high True Intent Comprehension who choose to breakthrough, do you think they don¡¯t want to strengthen their foundation? No! It¡¯s because they spend five, ten, fifty years, and still can¡¯t awaken even one Life Star.¡±


    ¡°At their limit, unable to improve, naturally, they can only breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°In fact.¡±


    ¡°Your progress is extremely fast, and the fact that you can still awaken Life shows you still have a lot of room for improvement,¡± said Gu You, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°With your current rate of progress, you could awaken Seven Star Pulse in as little as one or two years, or at most ten.¡±


    Ten years? Li Yuan sighed inwardly; he had enough patience.


    It just felt a bit slow.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind the slowness.¡±


    ¡°According to what father said back then, aside from some top bloodlines and supreme Divine Beasts, even in the Divine Realm, reaching Seven Star Pulse before age 50 in the Second Rank is already extremely exceptional,¡± Gu You seemed to understand Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, smiling and saying, ¡°If you spend another ten years, you¡¯ll only be in your thirties.¡±

 Chapter 598 - 337: Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope_2

    Chapter 598: Chapter 337: Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°In his thirties, still in the most vigorous stage of a Second Rank life, stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm wouldn¡¯t affect anything.¡±


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    Gu You said, ¡°As long as you are a Seven Star Veins at Second Rank, and upon reaching Flying Heaven Realm or Demigod status you achieve Eight Star Veins, there is a great hope.¡±


    ¡°That was also the goal I had set for you back in the day.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; Gu You had indeed said something similar early on.


    But his own goal had always been for a Prime Warrior to achieve Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Can¡¯t one achieve Eight Star Veins at Second Rank?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Second Rank achievement?¡±


    ¡°Theoretically it¡¯s possible, but practically it¡¯s almost non-existent,¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°You must understand that Second Rank is indeed the best period for awakening Star Veins. During this stage, all lives start the same¡­ But once you enter Flying Heaven Realm, due to different Star Veins, the Origin Pills that condense are fundamentally different.¡±


    ¡°Even during the Flying Heaven Stage, some powerhouses further awaken from Six Star Pulse to Seven Star Pulse, making their Origin Pills undergo transformation, yet there is an essential difference from the Innate Seven Stars Origin Pill.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He knew this point; it was precisely for this reason that he was so eager to reach Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Prime Warrior stage.¡±


    ¡°Even for someone like you, who cultivated the strongest Body Refining Star Technique and whose body was at the limit of a Prime Warrior, only 30 levels¡­ The Life Star you nurtured is not strong enough, the soul your body can sustain is not strong enough¡­ The huge disparity at the foundation makes Seven Star Pulse almost the limit,¡± Gu You said earnestly.


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, many top Divine Beasts of powerful forces are born as Seven Star Veins and then utilize Origin Treasures to assist in cultivation, external cultivation conditions are considered the top; it¡¯s something you can¡¯t imagine¡­ In the end, most still only manage to break through into Flying Heaven with Seven Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°Condensing the Origin Pill with Seven Star Pulse, stepping into Flying Heaven, after becoming a Demigod, the Life Star strengthens, the soul becomes further powerful, enabling the further awakening of more Life Stars, holding great hope for another leap.¡±


    ¡°Of course, there are also extremely few geniuses that bloom late,¡± Gu You said: ¡°Six Star Pulse as a Prime Warrior, transformed to Seven Star Pulse in the Flying Heaven Realm, transformed to Eight Star Pulse upon reaching Demigod¡­ but it¡¯s extremely rare.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Divines!¡±


    ¡°Every one of them, when young, was an exceptional genius that shook many Star Domains,¡± a girl softly said: ¡°But upon ascending to godhood, most were still just Eight Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°Once Ascended to God, the Star Veins are fixed, almost impossible to change.¡±


    Li Yuan fully understood.


    Awakening a Seven Star Pulse at Second Rank; Third and Fourth Ranks further awaken an Eight Star Pulse.


    This was the path for top geniuses in the Divine Realm.


    And to ultimately achieve Eight Star Pulse, being Six Star Pulse at Second Rank was the baseline.


    ¡°Is there really no hope of reaching Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank?¡± Li Yuan still harbored a sliver of hope in his heart.


    ¡°There is.¡±


    ¡°But the number of such exceptional talents is much fewer than Heavenly Divines,¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°Father has roamed the Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years and seen several Heavenly Divines¡­ but never heard of a Second Rank life awakening Eight Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, such exceptional geniuses were born in secret, but their powerful affiliations would definitely not want to expose them, to avoid assassination by hostile forces,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan: ¡°After all, if one awakens Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°Then, there is hope of awakening to Nine Star Pulse before becoming a god.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Star Pulse, even in the Divine Realm, is a legend, rare to see one born in an era,¡± Gu You sighed wistfully.


    ¡°An era?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, an era typically refers to around 300,000 years, roughly equivalent to the lifespan of a Heavenly Divine,¡± Gu You explained.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°You said before that you wanted to try for Eight Star Veins, I didn¡¯t stop you, because I really didn¡¯t know your limit,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Having aspirations is good.¡±


    ¡°But you must also stay grounded.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior achieving Eight Star Veins¡­ If a Heavenly Divine dedicated all their energy to nurture you, with your talent, there might be a glimmer of hope,¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°Unfortunately, neither I nor your Seven Star Civilization has such conditions.¡±


    ¡°So.¡±


    ¡°After a few more years, once you become a Seven Star Pulse, then make your breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°Being able to awaken to Seven Star Pulse as a Prime Warrior within the Mortal Domain, you should be proud,¡± Gu You said: ¡°Wait until you¡¯re in Flying Heaven, a Demigod, and then work hard to transform into Eight Star Pulse later.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with a wry smile.


    A sliver of hope? Wasn¡¯t that essentially no hope?


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Sis, I¡¯ll think it over carefully, I¡¯m leaving now,¡± Li Yuan said, and with a thought, he had already left the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the palace.


    ¡°Not willing to give up?¡± A girl with bare feet muttered: ¡°Makes sense, such a monstrous talent, never truly met a rival genius since the start of cultivation¡­ why would he easily give up?¡±


    ¡°Just wait!¡±


    ¡°When he takes a big fall, he¡¯ll naturally come to his senses,¡± Gu You thought to herself.


    She didn¡¯t mind Li Yuan wasting ten or twenty years.


    ¡°`


    As long as he broke through before the age of fifty, the impact wouldn¡¯t be significant.


    Moreover, Gu You had always been observing in secret and knew that Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was still rapidly progressing.


    That was enough.


    In Gu You¡¯s view, if Li Yuan¡¯s growth was too smooth, it might not be a good thing.


    ¡°In the path of cultivation, can everything be as desired?¡± Gu You shook his head inwardly, ¡°Stumbling a little now is far better than taking a big fall later.¡±

    In the Quiet Chamber


    ¡°The materials Qiu Bingzun gave me only mentioned that it¡¯s difficult for a Prime Warrior to awaken the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect it to be this difficult.¡±


    ¡°Just as Gu You said.¡±


    ¡°Only the top Star Vein Talent, coupled with the best cultivation by a Heavenly Divine¡­ might offer a sliver of hope for success.¡± A glint flickered in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°I don¡¯t have the help of a Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°My greatest aid¡­¡±


    ¡°First is the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯; such a Visualization Method, even in the Divine Realm, is top-tier, something even the Ancient Torch Divine can¡¯t provide.¡±


    ¡°Second, is Spiritual Guidance.¡±


    ¡°But to activate Spiritual Guidance again, spiritual power must further transform to reach an awakening limit of 75%,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Then, I must further cultivate my spiritual power.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    Even if the soul reached the Semi-Divine Level, it might not necessarily result in the awakening limit reaching 75%.


    But this was the first step.


    ¡°Fight on!¡±


    ¡°My body is too weak, trying to bear a Semi-Divine Level Soul, if it is just as before, engaging in normal cultivation of visualization methods, even spending another ten or twenty years, the soul might not break through,¡± Li Yuan decided resolutely in his heart.


    When cultivation reaches a bottleneck, sometimes time accumulation is needed, but beyond a certain level, more time alone is useless.


    ¡°Only by fighting desperately is there a glimmer of hope.¡±


    ¡°A Semi-Divine Level Soul is my only hope!¡±


    Thinking of this.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan tapped on his smart ring, opened the Seven Stars Treasury and went straight to ¡®Soul Treasures.¡¯


    ¡°Not enough,¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Li Yuan directly made another call.


    Ten seconds later. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice sounded.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it the Alliance Hierarch?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°You can call me ¡®Yun Lao¡¯,¡± the deep voice spoke, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch is in secluded cultivation. If you have anything, you can ask me directly. With your permission¡­ you are qualified to know about me.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    This deep voice should be a secretive existence within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Yun Lao.¡±


    ¡°I want to purchase a large quantity of Fourth Rank ¡®Soul Recovery Treasures,¡¯ even Fifth Rank ones,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°A lot.¡±


    ¡°How much? How many?¡± the deep voice puzzled, ¡°Five? Ten?¡±


    Fourth Rank Soul Recovery Treasures typically cost between 1000 to 5000 Seven Stars Points, depending on their effectiveness and rarity.


    ¡°Start with one hundred,¡± Li Yuan hesitated and then said, ¡°If that¡¯s not enough, I might need more.¡±


    The other end of the communication fell silent.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Are you sure you misspoke?¡± the deep voice said, ¡°What are you trying to do? The entire Seven Stars Treasury doesn¡¯t have that many right now. I must report to the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m aiming to impact the Semi-Divine Level Soul and awaken the Seven Star Pulse,¡± Li Yuan stated directly.


    Some things need not be concealed.


    ¡°Alright, just wait,¡± the deep voice did not ask further.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch just agreed. The first batch of fifty Fourth Rank Soul Nurturing Treasures will be sent to Martial Divine Star Realm within a day, and the Seven Stars Points will be deducted directly from your account,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°As for more¡­ it will take some time.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan nodded, for the short term, fifty was enough.

 Chapter 599 - 338: Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber! Soul Rending

    Chapter 599: Chapter 338: Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber! Soul Rending


    Feixing, a mysterious place where the sky was dim, and below was a vast ocean.


    Yet, the ocean water was completely black, unfathomable.


    Two figures stood in the void.


    ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Fang Hai in black robe asked Dongfang Ji, who was not far away.


    If Li Yuan were here,


    he would have sensed the changes in Fang Hai¡¯s aura, which had greatly changed from the past.


    ...


    If the past Fang Hai was reserved and substantial, occasionally revealing a hint of sharpness,


    then now, he was like an abyss, becoming unfathomable.


    ¡°Li Yuan just sent a message asking if he could exchange for a large batch of Fourth Rank Soul Treasures,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°He wants to exchange for 100 pieces.¡±


    ¡°100 pieces? That many? Even the entire Seven Stars Treasury doesn¡¯t have that many,¡± Fang Hai expressed doubtfully.


    ¡°Should I try to persuade him?¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°By doing this, other Semi-Divine and Flying Heaven levels will probably lack such treasures for cultivation.¡±


    To Fang Hai, even if Li Yuan had enough Seven Stars Points, he shouldn¡¯t be so capricious.


    One must always consider the bigger picture.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°He communicated directly with me and didn¡¯t trouble San Ye, probably because he wanted to ask if I could make the exchange,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°He previously risked his life and made significant contributions to civilization¡­ A fair exchange, naturally, we cannot let him be disheartened.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already instructed Yun Pu to prepare.¡±


    ¡°A few hundred Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, I can still afford to exchange,¡± Dongfang Ji stated calmly.


    Fang Hai¡¯s pupils contracted, slightly shocked.


    A single Fourth Rank Soul Treasure was normally worth a thousand or two thousand points¡­ one hundred pieces would be about 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    But treasures are not calculated like that.


    Logically, like Fourth Rank Treasures, the production of the entire civilization was finite within a certain time frame; they couldn¡¯t be exchanged unlimitedly by any powerful entity.


    Unless¡­ there was a stable supply channel.


    But in the entire Dimensional Domain, which force could stably supply Fourth Rank Soul Treasures? Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization couldn¡¯t do it!


    In an instant, Fang Hai thought of many possibilities.


    ¡°No need to ask more,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head with a smile, ¡°Once you conquer the Seventh Mountain, many things will naturally become clear¡­ and by then, the Seven Star Civilization will also be handed over to you.¡±


    ¡°Yes, teacher,¡± Fang Hai nodded, no longer inquiring about the source of the treasures, yet he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What does Li Yuan need so many Fourth Rank treasures for?¡±


    ¡°He said he wants to impact the Semi-Divine Soul and awaken the Seven Star Veins,¡± Dongfang Ji replied.


    Fang Hai¡¯s pupils contracted.


    ¡°According to the Martial Divine Hall¡¯s perception, just half a year ago, his Spear Technique was comparable to a Demigod,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°Much faster than you back in the day.¡±


    ¡°Only over three years have passed since the conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm, and his Spear Technique has transformed? Indeed, much faster than me,¡± Fang Hai sincerely said. ¡°I was nearly forty when my True Intent Comprehension reached the Demigod level.¡±


    ¡°And it took another decade and the opportunity in the Nine Leaves World for me to step into the Threshold of the Law.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is indeed much stronger than me,¡± Fang Hai stated.


    ¡°No need to compare yourself with him, as everyone¡¯s talent and opportunities differ,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°Before him, you were already a rare genius of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to your excellent guidance, teacher,¡± Fang Hai solemnly said.


    He was very grateful to Dongfang Ji in his heart, knowing well that without his teacher¡¯s guidance all the way¡­ he wouldn¡¯t have made it to where he was today.


    ¡°Teacher, does Li Yuan have a chance of awakening the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior?¡± Fang Hai asked doubtfully, ¡°Are Fourth Rank treasures alone enough?¡±


    ¡°They are not enough,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head. ¡°The Seven Star Veins¡­ are not that easy.¡±


    ¡°His body is too weak to achieve a Semi-Divine level soul¡­ Relying solely on external objects, even Fifth Rank treasures are not enough.¡±


    ¡°Sixth Rank treasures? I have difficulty offering them, and even if I could, his soul and body wouldn¡¯t withstand it,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Fang Hai nodded in agreement.


    Treasures also required a strong enough constitution to be effective.


    Otherwise, sometimes they could even be harmful.


    ¡°With two True God Heritages guiding him, he won¡¯t stray from his path¡­ but how far he can go depends on him,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him; you need to focus on yourself next.¡±


    ¡°I look forward to the day you conquer the Nine Leaves, achieve Semi-Divinity, and finally return from conquering the Seventh Mountain,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes filled with anticipation.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    ¡°Disciple, I will give it my all,¡± Fang Hai bowed deeply and then hesitated no longer.


    Whoosh!


    He transformed into a streak of light and dived into the pitch-black ocean water¡­ deep in this sea area was the entrance to the Nine Leaves World.


    In the void, Dongfang Ji watched the pitch-black waters.


    For a moment, he was somewhat lost in thought.


    ¡°Hopefully, he can succeed,¡± Dongfang Ji murmured softly.


    He had great expectations for Li Yuan but allowed him to develop freely without intervention.


    However, with Fang Hai, he had profound insights, as he was a Direct Disciple nurtured for decades.


    The effort spent on Fang Hai was the most extensive.


    ¡°Master, I have already contacted the divine being from the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber,¡± a deep voice suddenly resonated beside Dongfang Ji. ¡°We expect the relevant treasures to arrive at the ¡®Canglan Star¡¯ in three days.¡±


    ¡°Yes, go arrange for their reception,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly. ¡°For the next period, no matter what Li Yuan wants, as long as his Seven Stars Points are enough to exchange¡­ exchange them for him.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t nurture him like a Heavenly Divine, but he should still have the basic cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the deep voice responded.


    ¡­


    Three days later.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your items have arrived, could you confirm them on the virtual network?¡± Duanmu Hong in white robe smiled, ¡°What did you buy this time? The delivery was made by a San Ye Semi-Divine, must be quite valuable, right?¡±


    ¡°Some small items,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, taking the Storage Treasure handed over by Duanmu Hong.


    He returned alone to the Quiet Chamber in the palace.


    ¡°Altogether with what was delivered the day before yesterday, there are a total of 100 portions of Fourth Rank treasures for restoring the soul,¡± Li Yuan sensed while checking the Exotic Treasures stored within the Storage Treasure.


    Each bore different appearances,Some were Spirit Fruits, some Medicinal Liquids, some resembled Jade Stones, and even some looked like Withered Wood.


    All bizarre.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, truly impressive,¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly, ¡°He deliberately acquired so many types of Fourth Rank treasures¡­ Many of these treasures never even appeared in the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    Li Yuan initially didn¡¯t expect the Alliance Hierarch could really get them¡­ only to find, he had underestimated the Alliance Hierarch.


    ¡°There¡¯s a secret!¡± Li Yuan thought about the last time he cultivated the ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    Dongfang Ji, too, managed to get a large amount of treasures within a few days.


    ¡°One time is a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°Twice?¡±


    ¡°All these exotic treasures gathered at once couldn¡¯t possibly be produced within our civilization,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Most likely, the Alliance Hierarch has a way to exchange a large number of treasures.¡±


    Such a channel was definitely of great significance to the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°To exchange these 100 Fourth Rank treasures, it cost 1.8 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°I hope it helps.¡±


    ¡°As long as it succeeds.¡±


    ¡°Spending millions of Seven Stars Points is worth it.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan released a fruit that was entirely red, emitting a bizarre glow.


    He immediately popped it into his mouth.


    He closed his eyes.


    Boom! Most of Li Yuan¡¯s mental consciousness rushed into the first layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    He found himself in a vast starry sky. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At the end of the starry sky was a dazzling, endless Great Sun, whose rays enveloped the void and shone upon Li Yuan.


    Years ago, when his spiritual power was only above ten, Li Yuan would feel pain.


    But now?


    ¡°Each time I come here, it feels comfortable,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mental consciousness felt warm.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body swiftly approached the Great Sun. The originally warm light quickly turned blistering hot, followed by a scorching pain.


    The closer he got, the more terrifying the light of the Great Sun, and the more daunting the pressure it emitted.


    After a long time.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s vision, the entire Great Sun had already obscured half of the sky¡­ clearly, he was very close.


    ¡°My soul is being scorched,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face showed faint signs of pain.


    Over the past several years, Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method mostly here.


    It was extremely painful, and even with a Semi-Divine level willpower like Li Yuan¡¯s, it was painful¡­ but it wasn¡¯t a real threat to his life.


    ¡°Not enough!¡±


    ¡°If I were just practicing normally, staying here for visualization would be enough, but if I want to break through the limit.¡±


    ¡°Then I must get even closer,¡± determination flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan continued to approach, that soul-scorching pain intensifying.


    Li Yuan clenched his teeth and pressed on.


    ¡°Hiss~¡± The dreadful light of the Great Sun even penetrated the surface, starting to harm Li Yuan¡¯s soul directly; it was like tearing the soul apart.


    Pain!


    Agonizing pain!


    ¡°I¡¯ve reached my limit.¡± Not only was Li Yuan¡¯s soul trembling, but his body was also subtly affected, shaking.


    With a thought, Li Yuan operated the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    Swoosh~From the other end of the void, in the starry sky, slender strands of peculiar energy traveled through the void, infiltrating Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body, easing the soul¡¯s pain, and healing the soul¡¯s injuries.


    But it was far from enough.


    ¡°Crack~¡± Li Yuan immediately swallowed that Fourth Rank fruit.


    Quickly, the fruit¡¯s effectiveness unfolded, streams of peculiar energy infiltrated Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual world¡­ beginning to heal his soul¡¯s wounds.


    ¡°Continue!¡±


    ¡°Temper the spirit, temper the consciousness!¡± Li Yuan tenaciously endured the pain: ¡°My body is too weak, so I cannot directly nurture a Semi-Divine level soul or rely on external items.¡±


    ¡°Thus, the only option is to find a way for the soul to undergo a metamorphosis from within.¡±


    ¡°Visualization Method!¡±


    ¡°The pressure of the Great Sun.¡±


    ¡°Having practiced the Visualization Method for seven years, although I¡¯ve been very diligent, every time I reached the limit of what my spiritual power could endure, I would rest¡­ To break my body¡¯s confines, I need to break the soul¡¯s limit!¡± This was the method Li Yuan thought of to completely transform the soul.


    Visualization Method!!


    ¡°Time after time, squeezing the soul, tearing the soul.¡± Li Yuan silently endured: ¡°Just like training the body to the verge of death¡­ Normally, if practiced this way, the soul would not endure and collapse.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been continuously ingesting Fourth Rank Soul Treasures¡­ which can combine with the Visualization Method to quickly restore soul injuries.¡±


    ¡°Strive!¡±


    ¡°Give it my all! Persist!¡±


    ¡°Until the day the soul undergoes a complete metamorphosis from within,¡± Li Yuan resolved inwardly.


    ¡­


    For a Flying Heaven Level, transforming the soul to a Semi-Divine level is extremely difficult.


    What about a Prime Warrior attempting it? The difficulty is unimaginable.


    Li Yuan¡¯s method, easy to speak of when Heavenly Divine beings in the Divine Realm each know it, but hard to execute¡­ to endure the extreme pain of tearing the soul, not everyone can manage.


    Especially those who grew up sheltered, inherently strong, who have never experienced hardship, how could they endure?


    Even Li Yuan.


    During many years of cultivation, through day after day of visualization cultivation, he honed his willpower to a semi-divine level, and still, it was somewhat unbearable.


    But, he continued to persevere!


    Just like when he was young, before awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, also not fitting the high rank cultivation methods¡­ he practiced day in and day out, never considering giving up.


    While training at Kunlun Martial University, he could endure the extreme pain of ¡°Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow.¡±


    tenacity! Insanity! This was Li Yuan¡¯s true nature.


    Time passed.


    One day, two days, five days¡­ apart from regular spear technique practice, comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent, and occasionally seeing Lin Lanyue¡­ Li Yuan spent most of his time on the Visualization Method.


    Gradually.


    One month, two months¡­ after consuming 100 Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, Li Yuan exchanged for another batch.


    Continuing to cultivate.


    And gradually adapting, his willpower improved under such intense tempering, and his soul, under such day after day of squeezing, finally began to transform.

 Chapter 600 - 339: Limit! Soul Collapse

    Chapter 600: Chapter 339: Limit! Soul Collapse


    ¡°Soul is undergoing transformation.¡±


    ¡°Willpower is being enhanced,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    In just three months, his willpower had risen from level 40 to 41.


    Though his spiritual power did not rise in rank, Li Yuan clearly felt the subtle changes within his soul.


    But this was not enough, far from enough.


    ¡°My body does not provide much assistance in nurturing the soul; instead, it¡¯s subtly becoming a hindrance,¡± Li Yuan realized. ¡°I must press myself even harder.¡±


    ...


    Thus, while cultivating the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body drew even closer to the Great Sun.


    Indeed, the effects of his cultivation were better, but the agony tearing through his soul also soared once again!!


    The damage to his soul was even greater.


    Consequently, the number of Fourth Rank Soul Treasures he consumed increased¡­ With a huge amount of Seven Stars Points being invested, even Yun Lao, who was in charge of procurement, was shocked by the quantity.


    It was too much.


    Even for the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber, as the asking price gradually increased, he had no choice but to report back to Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Let him go,¡± was the response.


    ¡°The birth of an exceptional genius requires talent, perseverance, and a massive amount of resources¡ªthese three elements are indispensable,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently. ¡°In the end, a bit of luck is still needed.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the consumption of resources is too vast,¡± a deep voice couldn¡¯t help but comment. ¡°If we continue to use the original points pricing, we might suffer a loss.¡± S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan has enough talent and strong enough perseverance,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head. ¡°What do those resources count for? They don¡¯t even catch up to a single Sixth Rank treasure¡­ Don¡¯t be stingy; haven¡¯t the resources from Mingxu Star Realm already begun to be excavated? We will recover the costs.¡±


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m just worried it will all be in vain,¡± the deep voice said.


    ¡°Can every effort always yield a return?¡± Dongfang Ji laughed. ¡°Those Heavenly Divine who take disciples, each one of them an exceptional genius, will also invest a tremendous amount of resources to nurture them¡­ In the end, it¡¯s hard for even one in ten to ascend to Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°One must be willing.¡±


    ¡°Without willingness, what can be gained?¡±


    ¡­


    As time passed by, Li Yuan¡¯s frenetic cultivation inevitably caused Liu Bing within the Heavenly Snake Hall to sense the fluctuations in his soul.


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Big brother, he¡­¡±


    ¡°Why are his spiritual fluctuations so intense? Why is he in such agony?¡± Sensing the outside world, as well as Li Yuan¡¯s condition, Green Snake Liu Bing was worried.


    In the first few months when Li Yuan began his cultivation, the fluctuations of his soul were quite normal.


    Since most of the time was spent resting, Liu Bing didn¡¯t pay much attention.


    She remained focused on her own cultivation.


    But by now, things had changed from the beginning. Inside the outer Quiet Chamber, a faint trace of blood seeped through Li Yuan¡¯s body, his form trembling subtly.


    His soul was in so much agony that his body was beginning to break down, a frightful state indeed, and yet, as Origin Power circulated, it would gradually heal his physical injuries.


    However, quickly, under the severe soul pain, his body would again ooze blood.


    The cycle repeated!


    Physical injuries could be healed, but the torment of the soul couldn¡¯t be alleviated.


    How could Liu Bing not notice such fluctuations in the soul?


    Whooosh~


    Within the hall, a majestic, one-horned Phantom congealed. It was Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°He must be trying to escalate to a Semi-Divine Level Soul,¡± Qiu Bingzun said quietly. ¡°His ambition really is grand, a Prime Warrior¡­ actually aiming for a Semi-Divine Level Soul.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Liu Bing was taken aback. ¡°Can it be achieved?¡±


    ¡°He must be cultivating a Visualization Method of an extremely high grade, perhaps no less than your inherited Visualization Method, capable of sharpening the soul to its limits and restoring it,¡± Qiu Bingzun stated. ¡°Moreover, the Seven Star Civilization is truly special, being able to procure so many Fourth Rank Treasures to aid his cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Yet even so, the chances of success are very slim,¡± Qiu Bingzun expressed. ¡°The external environment is still too poor.¡±


    ¡°The chances are slim?¡± Liu Bing felt a pang in her heart.


    ¡°Liu Bing, think about it. In the inherited memories of the past Holy Blood Heavenly Serpents, how many at Second Rank managed to reach a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that just stepping into the Threshold of the Law, and pushing one¡¯s spirit and willpower to the limit of Flying Heaven, is sufficient for ascension? That¡¯s the standard.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Liu Bing nodded, recalling the comprehensive standards in her ancestral memory.


    These past few years,


    She had been concentrating on her cultivation, making astonishing progress¡­ Her innate bloodline privilege had allowed her to step into the Threshold of the Wind Law, it was just that her advance in spiritual will was not very fast.


    There was no helping it; she was only a few years old.


    ¡°A Second Rank individual, even if cultivating the most powerful Body Refining Star Technique, the body is still too weak. Forcibly striving for a Semi-Divine Level Soul isn¡¯t very meaningful.¡±


    ¡°In fact, based on Li Yuan¡¯s powerful will, once he breaks through to the Flying Heaven Level, his soul will rapidly transform to Semi-Divine Level¡­ Pursuing the limit for the sake of it could more easily lead to life-threatening dangers,¡± Qiu Bingzun advised. ¡°Unless, he wants to thus attempt to reach higher Star Meridians¡­ but given his rate of progress, steadily cultivating according to plan, he could still reach the Seven Star Veins in several years.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so hard on himself at this moment.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t comprehend it,¡± Qiu Bingzun truly did not understand Li Yuan¡¯s actions.


    ¡°The Seven Star Veins would be no challenge for big brother,¡± Liu Bing said. ¡°Could big brother be aiming for the Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°His talent is high, but residing in the Dimensional Domain, even with the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s nurturing conditions being relatively good compared to the Mortal Domain, they¡¯re incomparable to the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Now that he hasn¡¯t entered Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, unless a Heavenly God brings an Origin Supreme Treasure¡­ Even if he awakens a Semi-Divine Level Soul, there¡¯s not a sliver of hope.¡±


    ¡°In the history of our Heavenly Serpent Clan, those few who were born with Second Rank Eight Star Veins were all very special,¡± Qiu Bingzun continued. ¡°The strongest talents, coupled with the best external conditions¡­ and in the end, a bit of luck.¡±


    ¡°Only then could a Second Rank Eight Star Vein be conceived.¡±


    ¡°It signifies a foundation that is stronger than that of the most powerful Divine Beasts,¡± Qiu Bingzun stated. ¡°Those from our clan history who managed to grow up alive, each eventually dominated an era.¡±

 Chapter 601 - 339: Limit! Soul Collapse_2

    Chapter 601: Chapter 339: Limit! Soul Collapse_2


    Liu Bing couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Her legacy memories contained relevant descriptions.


    ¡°Could there be miracles?¡± Liu Bing couldn¡¯t help but ask, as she really hoped that Li Yuan would become powerful.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, so-called miracles are always traceable,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Like your elder brother, if he could have a semi-divine level soul, that would be a miracle¡­ But the foundation for creating such a miracle is that his willpower has already reached the semi-divine level.¡±


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°How can he form the Eight Star Veins if he hasn¡¯t even achieved the Seven Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°For second rank, it¡¯s always better to break through earlier, and definitely no later than fifty years old.¡±


    ...


    Liu Bing gently tapped her snakehead. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Should I persuade elder brother then?¡± Liu Bing whispered.


    ¡°You can persuade, but not too much.¡±


    Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°The path of cultivation is one¡¯s own to walk¡­ Since he has chosen this path, he naturally has the determination.¡±


    ¡°The more determined the will, the more unshakeable it is!¡±


    ¡­


    Liu Bing¡¯s persuasion.


    Failed without surprise.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, I understand, I have it in mind,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile in response to Liu Bing.


    Was it unnecessary to have a semi-divine soul as a Prime Warrior?


    Were Second Rank Eight Star Veins numbered only a few in the history of millions of years of the Heavenly Serpent Clan?


    ¡°What I pursue,¡± Li Yuan said with a determination that was nearly terrifying, ¡°is to turn the impossible into possible.¡±


    How could he give up when he had seen the possibility of soul metamorphosis?


    Time flowed like water.


    Every day, Li Yuan would practice the Visualization Method for more than three hours, but overextending the limit meant that restoring the soul took over ten hours¡­ With the remaining time, he would continue to attempt to awaken the Life Star, but the speed of awakening was still slow.


    At the same time, he would continue to comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map, the Star of Myriad Manifestations Map, constantly advancing in his comprehension of True Intent.


    In the blink of an eye, it was May of 2050.


    Unnoticed, Li Yuan¡¯s True Meaning of Wind finally made a breakthrough, advancing from Sixth Stage Middle Rank to Sixth Stage High Rank¡­ Having reached the same height with the two laws, their integration now caused the might of Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique to surge once again.


    In the past, in terms of the mystery of techniques, Li Yuan had just reached the threshold of semi-divinity.


    But now, he truly matched many semi-divine beings.


    Unfortunately, the mysteries of Law Integration only increased combat power¡­ It did not greatly help Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough in soul transformation.


    The only benefit was that influenced by the Mysteries of True Intent, the speed of soul recovery was faster, and the growth of willpower was quicker.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan still had not given up; he had already spent 1.5 million Seven Stars Points to purchase a Fourth Rank Soul Treasure.


    The expenditure was comparable to that of a Divine Artifact.


    The most critical issue was the fatigue of the soul¡­ Constantly being pushed to the limit, always nearing the edge, no matter how much external items were used to recover from injuries, the intrinsic exhaustion of the soul could not be eliminated.


    Eliminate it? Only time! A long period of rest was needed.


    Just like a person working, a company can use bonuses to improve work efficiency, can rely on coffee or nutritional supplements to temporarily boost energy¡­ but it also significantly increases the risk of sudden death.


    Li Yuan¡¯s situation was just like that.


    No matter how strong his willpower, no matter how much he could endure, a Flying Heaven level soul has its limits¡­ Once it surpasses those limits, the soul would collapse.


    Once it reached that point, no treasure would be of any use.


    ¡­


    Dongfang Ji finally summoned Li Yuan again.


    ¡°How can your soul be so weary?¡± Dongfang Ji was surprised, realizing something was amiss.


    With his realm, he could feel the weariness seeping through Li Yuan¡¯s resolute gaze.


    Just like an old man at the end of his days.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to push yourself so hard, being destined for Seven Star Veins, a bit earlier or a bit later, doesn¡¯t make much difference,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and said, ¡°Your principal, when he was a Prime Warrior, upon seeing no hope to strike the Seven Star Veins, gave it up.¡±


    ¡°Now, he is the same, with Seven Star Veins,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°You are already the most outstanding person in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Everything in moderation,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, genuinely concerned that something might happen to him.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I only hope that the principal can support me to the best of his ability.¡±


    Dongfang Ji looked into Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, sighed softly, and was reminded of many things for a moment.


    ¡°Alright,¡± in the end, Dongfang Ji did not stop Li Yuan.


    If he had wanted to stop him, he could have cut off the supply of treasures to Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s too dangerous.¡±


    ¡°This method of cultivation, even before your soul metamorphoses, you will collapse first,¡± Gu You said, full of concern.


    She had thought that Li Yuan would not be able to endure for too long and would give up on this path.


    Or that he would slowly awaken the Seven Star Veins and then feel the Eight Star Veins, naturally accepting reality.


    But what she didn¡¯t expect was that Li Yuan would choose to assault the Semi-Divine Level Soul, an extremely difficult task.


    And the more she observed, the more shocked she became.


    How terrifying was his tenacity to grit his teeth and hold on? Li Yuan was still desperately pushing forward, but Gu You instead began to fear.


    ¡­


    ¡°Big brother!¡±


    ¡°You must give up.¡±


    ¡°At most three months, if you continue to cultivate and squeeze yourself like this, your soul will definitely collapse,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s attitude completely changed because her soul was linked with Li Yuan¡¯s.


    She knew best the state of Li Yuan¡¯s soul, which was on the verge of collapse at any moment.


    ¡°Three months, huh?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Bing, thank you for the reminder.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s fight for another three months,¡± Li Yuan said. Having cultivated to this extent, he was unexpectedly much calmer.


    There was only this one chance.


    If he gave up, if he rested,


    Then the soul that was nearing transformation through repeated pressure, limited by the body, would gradually become frail again¡­ and he would have to start over from the beginning.


    Just like that.


    In the midst of many worries and doubts, Li Yuan¡¯s heart remained unshakable, he continued to persist!!


    The path of the strong is destined to be full of hardships.


    Opportunity? Talent?


    Without absolute strong willpower, without unprecedented determination, having just these is not enough to reach the pinnacle¡­ Just like when Li Yuan first obtained the Visualization Method as a young man, even if he relaxed a bit in his cultivation, he was destined to achieve notable success, but he chose to exert his full strength, giving up all rest time, reaching his own limit.


    At present.


    If he were to cultivate step by step, spend several more years, break through with the Seven Star Veins, and then reach the Eight Star Veins at the Flying Heaven Level¡­ he would have boundless prospects without the risk of soul collapse.


    But to Li Yuan, that wasn¡¯t enough.


    ¡°Just like when I took the college entrance exam and failed to get into Starfire Martial University, I have no regrets because I gave it my all.¡±


    ¡°Now, it is the same.¡±


    ¡°The opportunity is right before my eyes.¡±


    ¡°As long as I achieve a Semi-Divine Level Soul, I will have a hope of awakening the Eight Star Veins with a 75% increase in the upper limit of Spiritual Guidance!!¡±


    For a Prime Warrior undergoing the third Spiritual Guidance, it is fundamentally different from a Flying Heaven Level undergoing the third Spiritual Guidance.


    ¡°Give up?¡±


    ¡°If I wager everything and still fail in the end, then there will be no regret,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was serene.


    He had done everything he could to the extreme.


    The rest was left to fate!


    ¡­


    In a blink of an eye, nearly four more months passed.


    In the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Crack~¡±p


    Li Yuan was lying directly on the ground, his body faintly curling up, trembling, the terrifying pain from his soul made him completely unable to control his body¡­ most of his Mental Consciousness was still gathered at the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    He was persisting with all his might.


    Because, before the last Visualization Method practice, Li Yuan perceived a subtle change in his soul


    ¡°Transformation!¡±


    ¡°The Soul origin has been squeezed to the limit, and it¡¯s about to undergo a complete transformation.¡±


    Therefore, Li Yuan did not hesitate any longer and chose to make a final stand.


    So, this time practicing the Visualization Method, he had surpassed three days, which was the longest session in half a year.


    He did not stop for a single moment.


    Just that Li Yuan¡¯s soul, which was already on the brink of its limit,


    Had come to the eve of its transformation, under the blazing heat of the Great Sun, and began to collapse completely.


    Too tired!


    Too weary!


    As if a marathon runner, having exhausted everything, about to reach the finish line through sheer willpower, but the body just couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness shattered thunderously, his soul entered a collapsing process.

    Chapter 602: Chapter 340: Semi-Divine Level Soul


    ¡°Hmm? Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal?¡± Within the Divine Palace atop Seven Star Mountain, Duanmu Hong, who was cultivating in seclusion, instantly sensed that something was amiss.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal was flickering.


    Startled, he tried to transmit a message to Li Yuan¡­ but there was no response.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°There must have been an accident.¡±


    ¡°But how could Li Yuan be in mortal danger while cultivating in the Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± Duanmu Hong immediately transmitted a message to the Alliance Hierarch.


    ...


    Immediately after, his figure moved and he flew out of the palace like a bolt of lightning towards Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    ¡­


    ¡°Hmm? Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Lamp! Is his soul collapsing?¡± Gu You, who had been staying in the Ancient Divine Palace, was similarly startled and instantly aware of Li Yuan¡¯s anomaly.


    ¡°He¡¯s really pushed to the point of soul collapse? How could this be?¡± Gu You immediately became anxious.


    She had always been worried about Li Yuan.


    She hadn¡¯t expected that Li Yuan would actually fall into dire straits.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s will has long reached the Semi-Divine Level.¡±


    ¡°His True Intent Comprehension is also extremely strong¡­ and he has been cultivating to the limit with a high-grade Visualization Method, and yet he still hasn¡¯t achieved a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡±


    ¡°Is it so difficult for a Prime Warrior to become a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Gu You was extremely anxious in her heart: ¡°A soul collapse¡­ is nearly irreversible.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t care about adhering to the command my father left me anymore.¡± Gu You clenched her teeth and a gleaming jade stone already appeared in her hand.


    She understood that even if she intervened, there was a high probability that she couldn¡¯t save Li Yuan.


    But to do nothing? Gu You was unwilling in her heart.


    Whoosh!


    With a single step, Gu You disappeared within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Big brother! No!!¡± Liu Bing¡¯s face changed dramatically, and tears seemed to swirl in her spiritual eyes.


    She felt Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura was rapidly weakening.


    ¡°Qiu elder.¡±


    ¡°Please help my big brother, help him.¡± In that moment, Liu Bing was utterly panicked.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun¡¯s phantom appeared, and he sighed softly: ¡°Li Yuan¡­ if there were hope for the Eight Star Veins, it might be worth a try.¡±


    ¡°But even if he attained a Semi-Divine Level Soul, he is destined not to achieve the Prime Warrior¡¯s Eight Star Veins, so why make such a futile effort? I really don¡¯t know how such a manic disposition was developed, completely unpredictable.¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head: ¡°No wonder his will is so formidable, his temperament is almost unshakable.¡±


    ¡°Qiu elder, stop talking nonsense,¡± Liu Bing urged hurriedly: ¡°Is there any way you can help my big brother?¡±


    ¡°Little Bing!¡±


    ¡°Among the treasures preserved for you by the elders of our clan, there are two very special Origin Soul Treasures, more precious than the Origin of Wind¡­¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at the anxious Liu Bing.


    He very clearly understood that Liu Bing was extremely attached to Li Yuan; it was from the soul.


    ¡°If you use them for Li Yuan now.¡±


    ¡°Then there¡¯s a slight chance to save Li Yuan, but most likely¡­ it won¡¯t work.¡± Qiu Bingzun said: ¡°Whether to use them or not, you decide for yourself.¡±


    ¡°Save him!¡±


    ¡°Elder, if the treasures are lost, I can venture out and search again in the future,¡± Liu Bing immediately said: ¡°But if my big brother dies¡­ he is the only family I have left in this world.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I will do my best to help him.¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded, not surprised by Liu Bing¡¯s decision.


    Whoosh! Qiu Bingzun also disappeared from the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡­


    Though the conversation seemed slow, Liu Bing picked up on changes in Li Yuan¡¯s soul even faster, and her exchange with Qiu Bingzun was very swift.


    Therefore, Qiu Bingzun was not much slower than Gu You.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    Right beside where Li Yuan was lying on the ground.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One after another, two phantoms appeared, one a petite figure in white clothes with a holy aura, the other tall and burly.


    ¡°A God Level?¡± A trace of surprise flashed in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°So it¡¯s you, Heavenly Serpent Divine! Are you the remnant thought left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine?¡± Gu You recognized Qiu Bingzun¡¯s identity at first glance.


    In the moment they identified each other, neither wasted words.


    Both reached out and each produced a treasure.


    A hazy red light emanated from the object in Gu You¡¯s hand, while Qiu Bingzun held a purple crystal that emitted strange fluctuations.


    On the ground, Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura continued to wane, yet there seemed to be a formidable will being forcefully condensed.


    It was Li Yuan¡¯s own willpower, still struggling. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this,¡± Gu You said somberly: ¡°Don¡¯t hesitate any longer, let¡¯s seize this sliver of hope.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Gu You waved her hand, and the object emanating a red glow flew down, slowly merging into Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    ¡°An exercise in futility, what a waste of treasures, pity,¡± Qiu Bingzun sighed inwardly, convinced that Li Yuan was as good as dead.


    How could there be any chance of life with a soul collapse?


    If not for Liu Bing insisting on saving him, for fear that Liu Bing would hold a grudge against him, or even have ideas about the entire Heavenly Serpent Clan in the future,


    he would have simply let Li Yuan die.


    Qiu Bingzun was far less truly anxious than Gu You; after all, his real concern was Liu Bing, not Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The purple crystal touched Li Yuan¡¯s forehead and instantly transformed into streams of strange energy that merged within.


    As if in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, there was a Taotie that devoured soul power.


    ¡°How quickly it¡¯s absorbed,¡± Qiu Bingzun was inwardly shocked.


    Gu You, too, felt a little puzzled by the side.


    In just a few seconds.


    ¡°Something¡¯s not right! He¡¯s not suffering a soul collapse!! It was an illusion!¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°It¡¯s soul reassembly.¡±


    Gu You¡¯s eyes brightened.


    She too noticed changes in Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura; at first, it was indeed a soul collapse, which happened very quickly¡­ but Li Yuan¡¯s strong will seemed to be supporting it the whole time, exerting all his strength, unwilling to give up.


    It seemed to last only a few seconds.


    But for a soul collapse, that was qualitatively significant¡­ and then, the last bit of Li Yuan¡¯s soul¡¯s spiritual light, like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, quietly elevated to a higher level.

 Chapter 603 - 340: Semi-Divine Level Soul_2

    Chapter 603: Chapter 340: Semi-Divine Level Soul_2


    And then,


    Gu You felt the terrifying soul power contained within the two wonders provided by Qiu Bingzun pour into him.


    ¡°I lost out! There was no need to bring out a treasure,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Gu You revealed a smile. Although she had been deceived by the false appearance of Li Yuan¡¯s soul being shattered and prematurely handed over a treasure,


    she was incredibly excited and joyful in her heart.


    Because Li Yuan had survived, and as a Prime Warrior just awakening to a Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ he was destined to become even more frightful.


    ...


    ¡°Without destruction, there can be no establishment.¡±


    ¡°The Prime Warrior, with a frail body, desires his soul to transform into the Semi-Divine Level. He can¡¯t break through by normal means, the body cannot endure the soul¡¯s transformation¡­ The soul must continuously be honed to the Flying Heaven Limit. Once a breakthrough occurs and the body cannot withstand, the soul will collapse. In that collapse, to transform a spark of spiritual light with a strong willpower?¡± Qiu Bingzun pondered thoughtfully.


    He said he ¡®lost out¡¯, but the treasure had already been used, and regret was useless now.


    He then began to contemplate Li Yuan¡¯s situation.


    ¡°So it seems, the soul appears extremely fragile due to the collapse, but in essence, has already transformed?¡±


    ¡°The essence has broken through, to once again make the soul stronger?¡±


    ¡°Is this the true essence of the Prime Warrior reaching a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Qiu Bingzun, after all, was a being at the True God Peak.


    Even if it was just a remaining Spiritual Imprint, his vision and knowledge were still there, giving rise to much speculation.


    There was no other way.


    The Prime Warrior, desiring to possess a Semi-Divine Level Soul, is even rarer than awakening the Seven Star Veins¡­ too few examples.


    Even Qiu Bingzun, in his life of over ten thousand years, had not truly encountered it, only heard of it.


    Li Yuan was the first he had personally witnessed.


    ¡°Maybe, should I let Liu Bing try it?¡± The thought emerged in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Forget it!¡±


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t have the terrifying willpower like Li Yuan¡­ Besides, even if Liu Bing¡¯s soul were to advance to Semi-Divine Level prematurely, she wouldn¡¯t reach Eight Star Veins, so it¡¯s not significant,¡± Qiu Bingzun dismissed the thought.


    Until now,


    Qiu Bingzun still felt that Li Yuan was engaging in futile efforts. Such desperate attempts to become Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ held little significance.


    The risk did not proportionally match the gain.


    ¡°Hmm? Someone is coming?¡± Qiu Bingzun sensed the activity outside the Quiet Chamber, and in an instant, he dissipated, already back inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Divine.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast is a Heaven Snake? It couldn¡¯t possibly be the legendary Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent,¡± Gu You thought to herself.


    Whoosh! She also returned to the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Both of them harboring their own thoughts, did not communicate further.


    ¡­


    Boom! The door of the Quiet Chamber burst open.


    Duanmu Hong finally rushed in¡­ The Quiet Chambers for Seven Star Mountain members¡¯ cultivation were set with multiple obstacles, ensuring that even if they encountered an attack from a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, they could resist for a considerable time.


    But as the Mountain Lord, Duanmu Hong had the highest authority of the Martial Divine Star Realm and naturally could open the Quiet Chamber.


    Swoosh!


    The moment Duanmu Hong rushed in, he saw Li Yuan lying on the ground, startling him before he froze in place.


    ¡°Such a powerful soul pressure,¡± Duanmu Hong caught his breath.


    In his perception, Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura was very weak, probably just reaching the Flying Heaven Level, as if he had been seriously injured¡­ but the emitted pressure was terrifying.


    ¡°A Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Duanmu Hong shocked himself internally: ¡°The Prime Warrior, possessing a Semi-Divine Level Soul? Within the history of my Seven Star Civilization, he should be the first case.¡±


    ¡°Just that,¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t his Life Crystal about to extinguish a moment ago? How in the blink of an eye, instead, his soul has transformed?¡± Duanmu Hong couldn¡¯t make sense of it.


    Thinking of this,


    he flipped his hand over and took out Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal, completely red, with no sign of it going out.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± A flash of shock crossed Duanmu Hong¡¯s eyes.


    Because, in his sense, Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura was breaking through at an unimaginable speed.


    Level 31, Level 32¡­ as if he had taken some grand tonic.


    ¡°Growing so quickly?¡±


    ¡°What has Li Yuan been through?¡± Duanmu Hong was increasingly amazed, he thought it over. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whew!


    He slowly exited the Quiet Chamber, then promptly closed the door, as if he had never come to Li Yuan¡¯s palace.


    For Duanmu Hong, confirming that Li Yuan was not dead was enough.


    ¡­


    ¡°Not soul collapse?¡±


    ¡°Instead, a breakthrough? A Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Dongfang Ji, who was in the Mysterious Flying Star Land, saw a glint of light flash in his eyes.


    Just now, he had been worried.


    In the blink of an eye, yet another piece of good news had been received¡­ The ups and downs couldn¡¯t be more dramatic.


    ¡°Master, was it a success?¡± a low voice asked.


    ¡°Prime Warrior, the soul¡¯s transformation into Semi-Divine Level, it¡¯s truly unthinkable,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°The Seven Star Veins should be close to completion.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Seven Star Veins, it¡¯s almost certain they¡¯ll evolve into Eight Star Veins in the future,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    If it was Fang Hai that satisfied him,


    Then Li Yuan was a huge surprise.


    ¡°Tell Duanmu Hong, once Li Yuan recovers, have him come see me,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the low voice replied.


    ¡°What about the new Cultivation Technique inferred by the Mothership Mainframe, how is it?¡± Dongfang Ji changed the subject.


    ¡°Based on the large amount of data from newly emerged Flying Heaven Warriors¡¯ Star Meridians over the years¡­ the embryonic forms of the eighth and ninth high-rank techniques have been essentially perfected and can start to be gradually propagated,¡± the low voice said, ¡°Additionally, Master, I wish to obtain the data of Li Yuan¡¯s self-created techniques¡­ it might prepare us for the civilization¡¯s future premier general top-level technique.¡±


    ¡°Top-level technique? There¡¯s no rush!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s situation is probably quite peculiar too, you should mainly continue gathering Flying Heaven Warrior data and use that as a blueprint for your inferences,¡± Dongfang Ji commanded.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Not a soul collapse but a breakthrough?¡± Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall, Liu Bing was overjoyed.


    ¡°I can sense it; my brother¡¯s soul is moving away from weakness, constantly getting stronger,¡± Liu Bing said.


    ¡°How could it not be strong?¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°With two special Soul Treasures¡­ his soul will recover very quickly.¡±


    ¡°Liu Bing!¡±


    ¡°Next time, I can¡¯t just listen to you so easily; we only have this much of a fortune¡­ we can¡¯t afford to squander it,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t big brother regained consciousness yet?¡± Liu Bing¡¯s focus was still on Li Yuan and still somewhat worried.


    ¡°He was too exhausted before.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯ll likely have to sleep for a while,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan was indeed fatigued.


    When he sensed the sudden collapse of his soul, he was completely stupefied; his soul¡¯s essence was in the midst of transformation¡­ how could it suddenly collapse?


    In the moment of life or death, he couldn¡¯t care too much and could only do his utmost to maintain the completeness of his soul.


    With his soul constantly dissipating, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness became increasingly blurred.


    Until the moment of achievement, Li Yuan vaguely understood¡­ soul collapse was indeed a part of the breakthrough.


    Simultaneously, he also faintly sensed the external aura.


    ¡°Qiu Bingzun? He really is inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.¡±


    ¡°Gu You also came out.¡± Only when Li Yuan¡¯s heart completely relaxed did the fatigue stemming from his soul surge forward, along with the extreme weakness of his soul,


    He actually fell directly into a deep sleep.


    While within his body, two Soul Wonders were continuously exerting their effects, constantly strengthening his soul.


    Time passed.


    One day, two days, three days¡­ This sleep lasted more than ten days before Li Yuan finally awoke.


    Ten days felt like the blink of an eye.


    Because he was so exhausted, there was no dreaming¡­ For a Semi-Divine Level soul, fatigue was almost nonexistent, and there was usually no need for sleep anymore.


    ¡°My spiritual power.¡± Li Yuan immediately noticed the change, his powerful Divine Sense easily penetrated the Quiet Chamber, and then swept over the palace¡¯s surrounding area.


    Then extended even farther.


    Until it reached the dwellings of other Seven Star Mountain members¡­ Those Origin Power Arrays capable of resisting the Inquiry of Flying Heaven Level Divine Sense seemed non-existent in front of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense.


    ¡°Lanyue is practicing spear techniques.¡±


    ¡°Dantai Feng¡­ is on a call with his high school classmate.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, this one is daydreaming.¡±


    ¡­ Centered on Li Yuan, everything within a five-kilometer radius seemed to be under his Divine Sense Inquiry.


    No one detected they were being observed by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is this what it¡¯s like to have a Semi-Divine Level soul?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel and suddenly froze.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 30.0 Level (Second Rank)]

    Chapter 604: Chapter 341 Seven Star Veins (Add more 4)


    ¡°45 in spiritual power?¡±


    ¡°But didn¡¯t I just break through? And my soul had dispersed once before, it should be weak now, so how has it become so strong?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the two prompts on the Divine Palace panel.


    [Your spiritual power has reached level 40, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening has been raised to 70%]


    [Your spiritual power has reached level 44, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening has been raised to 75%]


    Reaching level 40 in spiritual power, Li Yuan could understand.


    But level 45? How did this happen? Li Yuan immediately thought of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun just before he fell asleep.


    ...


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°Having reached a 75% limit for Spiritual Awakening is worth the great price I paid.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled with light.


    With the limit reached, the next step was to accumulate enough Spirituality Nourishment¡­ then he could initiate the third Spiritual Guidance.


    The Eight Star Veins were hopeful.


    Li Yuan had risked advancing to the Semi-Divine level for this very reason.


    ¡°However, after the Six Star Pulse, awakening the Life Star becomes increasingly difficult.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The third guidance, can I successfully awaken the Eight Star Veins?¡±


    Li Yuan was not absolutely certain.


    But regardless of success or failure, he had already given his all, and had no regrets nor anything left undone.


    ¡­Just as Li Yuan was pondering.


    ¡°Big brother! Have you finally awakened?¡± a crisp voice sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    It was Liu Bing¡¯s Soul Transmission Sound, her voice laced with excitement.


    ¡°Yes, just woke up.¡± Li Yuan responded, sensing the fluctuations in Liu Bing¡¯s emotions, which appeared to be extremely joyful.


    ¡°Liu Bing,¡±


    ¡°Did I see Qiu Bingzun? Is he at the Heavenly Snake Hall? Did you all save me?¡± Li Yuan asked continuously.


    ¡°Big brother, send a strand of your thoughts into the Heavenly Snake Hall.¡± Liu Bing said consecutively, ¡°Elder Qiu¡­ is indeed here with me.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡­


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall, the vast main hall.


    Whoosh! An invisible force entered, already forming Li Yuan¡¯s phantom¡­ With a Semi-Divine Level Soul, effortlessly forming Divine Sense Phantoms, and even splitting into many thoughts.


    Just like leaving a Spiritual Imprint, Divine Sense Phantoms¡­ many techniques had become usable.


    A Semi-Divine Level Soul was far superior to the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Liu Bing.¡± Li Yuan immediately saw the massive green Flying Serpent in the hall, its life aura much more robust than it was years ago, its body scales much more exquisite. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As if it were a delicate piece of art.


    Over the years, Li Yuan and Liu Bing often communicated through the soul, but had not truly met.


    ¡°Big brother.¡± Liu Bing was incredibly excited, flapping her wings, her large body rapidly shrinking, trying to coil around Li Yuan¡¯s arm.


    Unfortunately,


    this was just a projection of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense, it was illusory¡­ hence, Liu Bing¡¯s affectionate gesture was doomed to fail.


    ¡°It will be fine once you get out,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Whirl! Numerous beams of light converged, forming a muscular, uni-horned silhouette on one side.


    ¡°Elder Qiu,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.


    ¡°I have come out with the Heavenly Snake Hall, and kept it from you all this while,¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled and said, ¡°I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±


    ¡°You did it for Liu Bing¡¯s sake.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°With Elder pointing the way for Liu Bing, her growth will surely be smoother.¡±


    ¡°As long as you don¡¯t mind,¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled.


    ¡°I must also thank Elder this time,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°If not for the treasure you gave, my soul wouldn¡¯t have recovered so quickly.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t thank me,¡±


    ¡°Thank Liu Bing,¡± Qiu Bingzun waved his hand, ¡°If not for her insistence on saving you, I wouldn¡¯t have been willing to use that Soul Treasure¡­ that treasure was left for Liu Bing by a Heavenly Divine of our tribe, originally meant to help her break through to the Eight Star Veins when reaching the Semi-Divine level.¡±


    ¡°That valuable?¡± Li Yuan was astonished; he had assumed it was at most a Fifth Rank Soul Treasure.


    Left by a Heavenly Divine?


    It might well be a Sixth or even Seventh Rank Soul Treasure, and being able to allow a merely Prime Warrior like himself use it¡­ must be a very particular type.


    At least, the Seven Star Civilization would not be able to produce it.


    ¡°At the time, your condition was soul collapse, ordinary treasures were useless, and you were too weak, some overly powerful treasures would be more harmful than beneficial to you¡­ in short, just thank Liu Bing,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    For Liu Bing¡¯s sake, Qiu Bingzun was willing to be the ¡°bad guy¡±.


    ¡°Liu Bing, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Li Yuan said with a wry smile, ¡°Had I known, such a treasure should not have been used on me.¡±


    ¡°Big brother, it¡¯s just a treasure, when we team up to venture into the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains in the future, are you worried we won¡¯t be able to get treasures?¡± Liu Bing said carelessly, ¡°As long as you are alright, big brother.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart warmed.


    ¡°Just next time, big brother, try not to take such risks,¡± Liu Bing wagged her head, ¡°It¡¯s too scary, I was nearly frightened to death.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be more careful in the future,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Big brother, how do you feel now?¡± Liu Bing asked eagerly, ¡°For a Prime Warrior becoming a Semi-Divine Level Soul, awakening the Life Star should be incredibly easy.¡±


    ¡°I should soon achieve the Seven Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    A soul reaching level 45 was far more powerful than when at level 39.9¡­ absolutely a Transformation.


    In fact, Li Yuan had already divided most of his Mental Consciousness, attempting to sense within the Life Starry Sky.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡±


    ¡°You really didn¡¯t have to push yourself so hard,¡± Qiu Bingzun suddenly spoke, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Now having a Semi-Divine Level Soul, even at the Prime Warrior stage, awakening more Life Stars¡­ becoming a Seven Star Vein is only a matter of time.¡±


    ¡°Just for a few more years, it¡¯s unnecessary.¡±


    ¡°You are risking too much.¡±


    ¡°This time, if your Willpower hadn¡¯t been strong enough, allowing your Soul to transform in extreme circumstances, you might have truly perished,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°On the path of cultivation, sometimes you need to strive! But at least the rewards and risks should be proportional.¡±


    ¡°In your current stage, you can securely cultivate to the Flying Heaven Peak, then pursue the Eight Star Veins.¡±

 Chapter 605 - 341 Seven Star Veins (Add more 4)_2

    Chapter 605: Chapter 341 Seven Star Veins (Add more 4)_2


    Li Yuan smiled and didn¡¯t explain much further.


    Indeed!


    In the eyes of Qiu Bingzun, Gu You, and even the Alliance Hierarch, his actions must have seemed somewhat rash.


    Because, normally speaking, whether his soul underwent metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level or not, it would most likely still result in the Seven Star Veins.


    And that involved immense risk.


    However, this was mainly because they didn¡¯t know that he could perform Spiritual Guidance.


    ...


    Only by undergoing Soul Metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level could he accomplish the third Spiritual Guidance.


    ¡°According to the Divine Palace¡¯s hint, a 44th rank spiritual power is needed for the Spiritual Awakening limit to reach 75%,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Without nearly half a year of pushing his soul to the limit in pursuit of the extreme,


    how long would it take for his soul to undergo metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level and gradually grow to the 44th rank?


    Li Yuan felt that, with normal cultivation, even another 20 years might not suffice.


    There is a fundamental difference between a Prime Warrior achieving the Eight Star Veins and a Flying Heaven level achieving the Eight Star Veins.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace can indeed help oneself.


    But the extent to which it can be utilized is related to one¡¯s own self.


    Just like before, if Li Yuan hadn¡¯t cultivated with such mad fervor, he might have faced the risk of death during the first anomaly of the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    ¡°Senior Qiu,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll be more careful in the future.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Qiu Bingzun also noticed that Li Yuan seemed to have other plans,


    and naturally, didn¡¯t say much more.


    ¡°Big Brother, aside from the treasure Senior Qiu used,¡± Liu Bing said, ¡°there was another person who also used a treasure to help you.¡±


    ¡­


    Almost simultaneously,


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be so reckless next time,¡± Gu You admonished as she looked at Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense avatar, shaking her head, ¡°Cultivation requires effort, but it should be moderate.¡±


    ¡°Sister,¡±


    ¡°I want to attempt to break through to the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Is it possible without madness?¡±


    ¡°You still haven¡¯t thought of giving up?¡± Gu You couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°It was so difficult for you to become a Semi-Divine level soul¡­ Do you understand how challenging the Eight Star Veins are?¡±


    ¡°Only by giving it my all will I have no regrets,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    To Gu You, compared to when facing Qiu Bingzun, he could reveal more secrets and thoughts,


    But regarding the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­ he couldn¡¯t speak openly.


    ¡°Sister, thank you for this time,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°That treasure must be quite precious, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s no bother.¡±


    ¡°That treasure was originally intended as a gift for you upon your ascension to Semi-Divine and passing the fourth trial,¡± the young girl looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Given your rate of strength improvement, passing the fourth trial wouldn¡¯t be difficult¡­ so it is much like giving the treasure to you in advance.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve said before, I am merely keeping the Ancient Divine Palace on your behalf.¡±


    ¡°When it¡¯s time to give my father¡¯s treasure to you, I will naturally do so,¡± the girl said. ¡°If that treasure can be of some use, it is worth it.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded without hesitation.


    He could clearly sense the differences in attitude among Gu You, Qiu Bingzun, and Liu Bing.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking carefully just now,¡±


    ¡°If you want to attempt for the Eight Star Veins, there is indeed a glimmer of hope,¡± the young girl regarded Li Yuan. ¡°After all, you are only 25 years old, with another 20 years¡­ and your soul metamorphosis makes awakening your Life Star easier.¡±


    ¡°In any case,¡±


    ¡°Whatever you do, I support you¡­ just be sure to be careful,¡± Gu You advised.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    This near-collapse of his soul, it seems, really frightened both Liu Bing and Gu You.


    ¡­


    After concluding his exchanges in the Heavenly Snake Hall and the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan devoted himself entirely to adapting to the Semi-Divine level soul.


    ¡°The range of my Divine Sense inquiry is dozens of times that of the past, reaching five kilometers in all directions.¡±


    ¡°And under my Divine Sense detection, ordinary things can¡¯t escape at all, not even the Origin Power Array,¡± Li Yuan marveled: ¡°When I perform an inquiry, it seems that even the Divine Sense of Flying Heaven level can¡¯t detect it.¡±


    Li Yuan had already understood the difference between Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    When encountering head-on, a Flying Heaven expert wouldn¡¯t notice a thing, while everything would already be exposed before a Semi-Divine.


    ¡°No wonder it¡¯s always said in the archives,¡±


    ¡°That the Semi-Divine guardians of various planets often patrol globally,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°To probe a ten-kilometer area with a single thought¡­ While flying at high speeds, it would be extremely difficult for the Flying Heaven Alien Race to avoid detection.¡±


    In one word,


    A Semi-Divine level soul alone, with merely its Divine Sense, could already have many marvelous uses.


    ¡°A powerful soul is also much clearer in sensing the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth than before,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness extended, sensing the waves of mysteries contained within all things.


    Clear!


    Not just the Mysteries of Earth, the Mysteries of Wind¡­ the fluctuations of many other mysteries were clearer, too.


    Even Li Yuan had the illusion that if he were to comprehend the Mysteries of Fire, the Mysteries of Water, etc., and spent a few more years, he might be able to condense True Intent.


    ¡°This is the advantage of having a strong foundation,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    A Demigod comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth was much more efficient than a Flying Heaven level¡­ This was also why the strong, once they sensed their foundation was nearly at its limit, would strive to break through rapidly.


    Lifespan is limited!


    Even a True God has only thirty thousand years of life¡­ The earlier one breaks through with a strong foundation, the greater the hope of reaching higher levels.


    Like a Demigod whose lifespan is a thousand years¡­ if one remained at the Flying Heaven level for two to three hundred years, the hope of Ascending to God would be too slim.


    ¡°Combat.¡±


    ¡°With a Semi-Divine Level soul, cultivate spiritual secret techniques,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°In Flying Heaven level battles, it¡¯s extremely effective.¡±


    Previously, Li Yuan rarely spent time cultivating spiritual secret techniques because his soul was only at the limit of Flying Heaven, while his opponents were all Flying Heaven Peak experts¡­ The use of spiritual secret techniques was minimal, only causing slight disturbances.


    Naturally not worth wasting time on.


    But now, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had reached level 45, and the situation was entirely different.


    ¡°If I cultivate some extremely domineering spiritual secret techniques, I have the hope of sweeping through the ordinary Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Even a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, with a will of great tenacity and strength, would be greatly affected, even distracted for a long time.¡±


    When the soul levels of each other are close, the use of spiritual secret techniques is minimal.


    However, when one¡¯s soul level completely surpasses that of the opponent, the effect is still great.


    ¡°Perhaps, I should truly choose a spiritual secret technique now,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°In the short term, my opponents will mainly be at the Flying Heaven level.¡±


    Demigod?


    A casual attack from a Demigod would be enough to annihilate me.


    ¡­


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly discovered a message transmission from Duanmu Hong.


    The content was simple, asking Li Yuan to meet with Dongfang Ji when he was awake and had time.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush to meet the Alliance Hierarch¡­¡±


    ¡°Things like cultivating spiritual secret techniques can also be delayed,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°Let¡¯s try, first, to awaken more Life Stars.¡±


    Hadn¡¯t he strived for so long to become a Semi-Divine Level soul just for the purpose of awakening the Star Meridians?


    Boom!


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s mind became singular, and his mental consciousness completely merged into the Life Starry Sky¡¯s space.


    ¡°Perception, much clearer than before,¡± Li Yuan exerted his full effort in sensing, ¡°Although nowhere near Spiritual Guidance¡­ it¡¯s definitely dozens of times stronger than before.¡±


    Swoosh~


    Li Yuan¡¯s strong mental consciousness instantly divided into a multitude of thoughts, following the pulsations of the Star Meridians and past experiences of awakening Life Stars in an attempt to awaken even more¡­


    One!


    Two!


    Ten!


    ¡­ as time passed, half a month flew by in the blink of an eye, and the efficiency of awakening Life Stars with a Semi-Divine Level Soul far surpassed the past.


    In such a short period, although the Seven Star Veins had not yet awakened, Li Yuan had once again awakened more than a thousand Life Stars.


    Fewer failures,


    Clearly, a Semi-Divine Level Soul had significantly increased the efficiency of Li Yuan awakening the Star Meridians.


    The upper limit was greatly raised.


    ¡­ Another two days later, after once more awakening a Life Star.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes with a realization, a hint of surprise in his gaze, ¡°Seven Star Veins!!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s finally happening!¡± Li Yuan could feel the rapid changes in his body.


    Within the Life Starry Sky¡¯s space.


    Among the countless, chaotically scattered Life Stars, a portion of the Life Stars.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Exactly 12,960 Life Stars, as if attracted by a strange force, had connected with one another, and then immediately set into motion.


    Like a cosmic orbit.


    Truly alive.


    ¡­ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Li Yuan¡¯s body surface radiated layers of dazzling light.


    Seven Star Meridians interwove like beams of light.


    Some Star Meridians were incredibly bright, while others were relatively dim, and one was extremely faint, almost drowned out by the brilliance of the other lights.


    But regardless of their strength, they were ultimately Seven Star Veins, shining together.


    In the history of the Seven Star Civilization, the first Second Rank Seven Star Veins came into existence quietly.

 Chapter 606 - 342: The Strength of Li Yuan

    Chapter 606: Chapter 342: The Strength of Li Yuan


    Seven Star Mountain, within the quiet chamber of the palace.


    ¡°Seven Star Veins have been established.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, the entire Life Starry Sky has become much more brilliant, but the pressure on my soul has also greatly increased, and the speed of awakening the Life Star has clearly slowed down significantly,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently.


    Awakening the Seven Star Veins, in a short time, does not greatly improve one¡¯s strength, it¡¯s all in preparation for reaching the Flying Heaven Level and even the Demigod level.


    Star Technique? With Li Yuan¡¯s current body, even after cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± carrying four Star Techniques was already pushing the limit.


    Like other Prime Warriors, most could only cultivate two Star Techniques, and usually, they did not surpass the Fifth Layers Star Technique.


    ...


    ¡°However, awakening an additional Star Vein at least significantly increases the speed of my Origin Power recovery,¡± Li Yuan sensed the changes in the Sea of Origin Power.


    Now, with seven Star Veins in operation, among which three were Perfect Star Veins and the other three were also of high grade, even without condensing an Origin Pill, the recovery speed was no less than that of a Flying Heaven Middle Stage.


    With this in mind, when deploying the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± the Supreme Star Technique, he would be able to endure in battle even longer.


    ¡°I¡¯ll first tell Lanyue and Gu You,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Then, it¡¯s time to meet with the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    It had been almost half a month since he last received a message from Duanmu Hong.


    Just as he opened his smart wristband, Li Yuan found quite a few unread messages.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Muhua and Qian Qian even sent me birthday wishes a few days ago?¡± Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile; between his cultivations, he would occasionally still communicate with his family.


    ¡°It¡¯s September already.¡± Li Yuan felt quite emotional, as he had now turned 25 years old.


    Time really flies.


    ¡°Qian Qian graduated from college and is preparing to start a fashion design company?¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Muhua is also about to begin the life-and-death adventures in the Star Realm.¡±


    Years had passed, and Li Yuan¡¯s strength had transformed, causing great changes among his friends and relatives.


    Like his younger brother Li Muhua, who was admitted to Kunlun Martial University years ago, with Li Yuan¡¯s help and his own talent and hard work, became an elite in Kunlun, and has now become a Prime Warrior.


    Although far from meeting the standards of the Martial Divine Hall, in Li Yuan¡¯s view, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to become a Top-Level Origin Martial Artist in the future, and there was even hope to become a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ Li Yuan would naturally do his utmost to help his brother.


    As for other friends.


    Like Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, and other peers were now each Top-Level Origin Martial Artists.


    Alicia had already comprehended True Intent and was known alongside Lin Lanyue as the two most dazzling new stars of Seven Star Mountain.


    Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang both became members of Seven Star Mountain this year; given their age, it was also quite impressive¡­ As for geniuses like Luo Chan and An Yongya, many had successively broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    A generation of newcomers replaces the old.


    In the current Martial God Realm, the deeds of people like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef are fading away, rarely mentioned anymore¡­ such is the magic of time.


    ¡°I wonder how the principal is doing,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally.


    Since the battle years ago when Fang Hai slew a Demigod, which shook many Foreign Civilizations, there had been no news of him.


    In the meantime, Li Yuan had sent several messages through V-communication¡­ all without any reply.


    Not long after.


    ¡°Does the Alliance Hierarch have time?¡± Li Yuan received a reply from the Mountain Lord, Dongfang Ji is waiting for you in the usual place.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan stepped out of the quiet chamber and flew towards the palace on the mountaintop, where Duanmu Hong¡¯s residence contained a passage to that mysterious place.


    And whether it was the Ancient Divine Palace or the Heavenly Snake Hall, Li Yuan did not bring them along.


    ¡­


    ¡°Seven Star Veins? Finally achieved!¡± Gu You showed a smile, having just noticed the change in Li Yuan¡¯s Star Veins.


    ¡°With a Semi-Divine Level Soul, awakening the Life Star is indeed faster,¡± Gu You thought to herself. ¡°But to become Eight Star Veins?¡±


    She shook her head, still feeling that the hope was slim.


    ¡­


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Haha, big brother really did it.¡±


    Liu Bing swayed her body, her voice excited: ¡°At 25, from the weakest life in the Mortal Domain, he has risen step by step to become a Second Rank Seven Star Veins warrior, truly unimaginable.¡±


    ¡°Indeed unimaginable,¡± agreed Qiu Bingzun softly.


    ¡°However, this should be his limit,¡± Qiu Bingzun said quietly.


    ¡°Senior Qiu, I think, big brother has the potential to go further and create a legend,¡± Liu Bing spoke. ¡°He¡¯s only 25 years old.¡±


    ¡°Whether he¡¯s 25 or even 30, that¡¯s not the point,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°The important thing is, he lacks resources, he lacks a good enough external environment¡­¡±


    Qiu Bingzun remained steadfast in his views.


    ¡°Think about yourself,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Liu Bing. ¡°Born with Seven Star Veins, do you think you have a chance to reach Eight Star Veins at the Second Rank?¡±


    Liu Bing was left speechless, feeling the hope was faint.


    ¡°Big brother is different,¡± Liu Bing shook her head. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, Senior Qiu, let¡¯s make a bet.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the bet?¡± Qiu Bingzun became interested.


    ¡°If big brother can achieve Second Rank Eight Star Veins, from now on, you must keep a closer eye on big brother and give him as much guidance as possible,¡± Liu Bing proposed with a sly smile. ¡°If big brother faces danger, you must do your best to help him.¡±


    ¡°And if he doesn¡¯t reach it?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked with a smile.


    ¡°Then from now on, I will definitely practice harder,¡± Liu Bing said earnestly. ¡°Not to let your old man down.¡±


    ¡­


    Sigh!


    Passing through the mysterious pathway in Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s palace, Li Yuan soon arrived at that mysterious place.


    ¡°Is this a Cave Heaven World?¡± Li Yuan sensed the nothingness around him.


    When he had visited before, Li Yuan only felt everything was mysterious.


    But now, having undergone a transformation, in both True Intent Comprehension and Soul Realm, he had reached the Semi-Divine level¡­ In short, in terms of observing and sensing the world, he was now of Semi-Divine caliber.


    Coming here again, he naturally could perceive the difference.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan crossed through the void, arriving in front of the vague figure, and respectfully saluted.

 Chapter 607 - 342 Li Yuans Strength_2

    Chapter 607: Chapter 342 Li Yuan¡¯s Strength_2


    ¡°You transformed into a semi-divine level soul quite some time ago, why did you only come to see me now?¡± Dongfang Ji asked with a hint of a smile in his voice.


    ¡°I had some insights, so I continued cultivating after my soul metamorphosis.¡± Li Yuan responded, ¡°Now that I have awakened the Seven Star Veins in one breath¡­ I immediately came to see the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°You¡¯ve already become Seven Star Veins? So quickly? Show it to me.¡±


    Even though he had anticipated Li Yuan would achieve Seven Star Veins,


    Dongfang Ji was still delighted when it was confirmed.


    ...


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan did not hide it and with a thought, immediately emitted a hazy earthy yellow glow around his body.


    The light was dazzling, with faintly visible seven threads, six brilliant and one somewhat dim¡­ undoubtedly Seven Star Veins.


    Perfect Star Vein and Nine Layer Star Vein, Eight Layer Star Vein when manifested outwardly, are very hard to distinguish from the divine radiance that shines, making it very difficult to determine.


    ¡°Ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Veins, indeed it is Seven Star Veins.¡± Dongfang Ji revealed a smile, his eyes twinkling with a glint of light, ¡°A Second Rank Seven Star Vein, not only a first in our Seven Star Civilization but perhaps the first in the entire Dimensional Domain in a million years.¡±


    ¡°A million years?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously, ¡°Were there ever Second Rank Seven Star Veins born in the Dimensional Domain before that?¡±


    Only by truly cultivating did Li Yuan understand the immense difficulty in giving birth to Second Rank Seven Star Veins.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°Time is infinite, but life span is limited.¡± Dongfang Ji laughed, ¡°The Dimensional Domain is vast, many civilizations rise and fall, even True Gods can only live for thirty thousand years, the legendary Heavenly Divine can only live for three hundred thousand years¡­ Even a powerful civilization like the Immortal Ruins Civilization only has a history of a million years.¡±


    ¡°Being able to trace back the history of the Dimensional Domain to a million years ago is already quite impressive.¡±


    ¡°I can almost confirm that you are the strongest Prime Warrior in the entire Dimensional Domain for the past million years,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°but the entire Dimensional Domain is definitely in the order of billions of years.¡±


    ¡°What about an even older era?¡±


    ¡°Perhaps the Dimensional Domain once gave birth to Heavenly Divine, gave birth to Second Rank Seven Star Veins and even Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡­ but they have all perished in the sands of time,¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    Li Yuan nodded silently, recognizing that even the most powerful beings feel helpless in the face of the nearly infinite expanse of the starry sky.


    Heavenly Divine? Even Heavenly Divine could only live for three hundred thousand years.


    Like the Heavenly Serpent Clan, how powerful they were, yet according to Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s understanding, they only endured tens of millions of years despite many trials and tribulations.


    ¡°Don¡¯t dwell on the past, it only adds to one¡¯s worries,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°At least, you are currently the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°What are your plans next?¡± Dongfang Ji asked, ¡°When are you planning to become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I plan to first clear the Second Level Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Then, I will continue concealed cultivation and try to break through to Eight Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°After becoming Eight Star Veins, then I will become a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan stated solemnly.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡± Dongfang Ji was slightly surprised: ¡°Are you confident?¡±


    This was the first time Li Yuan revealed his ambition to Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Thirty percent,¡± Li Yuan estimated after a thought.


    Though he had the help of the third Spiritual Guidance, achieving Second Rank Eight Star Veins was still legendary even in the Divine Realm¡­ Li Yuan was eighty percent confident.


    But not wanting to exaggerate, he said only thirty percent.


    Letting the Alliance Hierarch have some psychological preparation was enough.


    ¡°Thirty percent?¡± Dongfang Ji was already quite surprised.


    His vision was not ordinary and he knew very well what Second Rank Eight Star Veins meant.


    ¡°You have two True God Heritages, you should be clear about the difficulty of Second Rank Eight Star Veins, still dare to say fifty percent¡­ I understand,¡± Dongfang Ji acknowledged as he looked at Li Yuan: ¡°No wonder you previously desperately spent over 2,000,000 Points to exchange for treasures, and strived for a soul metamorphosis, nearly perishing, the risk was extreme.¡±


    ¡°At that time I was somewhat puzzled.¡±


    ¡°So, you wanted to attempt for Eight Star Veins,¡± Dongfang Ji understood Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins.¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head slightly, ¡°If you truly pursue the limit, I¡¯m afraid it might take ten, twenty years, can you endure such agony?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    If the third Spiritual Guidance failed, Li Yuan would still try his best to reach it.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you can try to pursue it.¡±


    ¡°But I think, if the gap is too large, there¡¯s no need to force it. Our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s cultivation conditions are ultimately too poor,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Second Rank Seven Star Veins¡­ are already quite good.¡±


    Dongfang Ji had a very high perspective.


    He and Qiu Bingzun alike, after a bit of thought and analysis, felt that Li Yuan¡¯s hopes of achieving Eight Star Veins were bleak.


    Spending another ten or twenty years might also be futile.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance to pursue the limit, not to try would easily lead to regret later on,¡± Li Yuan said frankly, smiling: ¡°My nature is such.¡±


    Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, suddenly recalling many of Li Yuan¡¯s past deeds.


    In his first year, despite already progressing rapidly, Li Yuan still took great risks to use the ¡®Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow¡¯, and his persistent attempt to reach the semi-divine level soul¡­ how similar.

    ¡°Moreover.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Haven¡¯t you said before? Not even True Gods have hope of controlling the secrets of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡±


    Dongfang Ji somewhat understood.


    ¡°I have True God Heritage, with some understanding. The direct disciples of Heavenly Divine are mostly Eight Star Veins geniuses,¡± Li Yuan elaborated solemnly: ¡°That is, achieving Second Rank Seven Star Veins, competing in the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine to metamorphose into Eight Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°They, all can be called unparalleled geniuses.¡±


    Dongfang Ji nodded involuntarily.


    ¡°But among them, hardly one in ten becomes Heavenly Divine,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°If I am like them, achieving Second Rank Eight Star Veins, would I be able to Ascend to Heavenly God in the future?¡±

 Chapter 608 - 342: Li Yuans Strength_3

    Chapter 608: Chapter 342: Li Yuan¡¯s Strength_3


    ¡°My cultivation environment isn¡¯t even as good as theirs, if I don¡¯t fight for it, the hope to ascend to Heavenly God might be even smaller than that of those peerless geniuses.¡±


    Dongfang Ji was speechless and felt shocked in his heart.


    Heavenly God?


    It was something he could never have imagined.


    Li Yuan dared to set his sights on becoming a Heavenly God.


    ¡°Our plane,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes blazed, ¡°was destroyed by the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the last civilization. As you said, Alliance Hierarch, if we don¡¯t work hard enough¡­ the entire future of our civilization is at risk of annihilation.¡±


    ...


    ¡°So, because the True Gods can¡¯t control the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, you want to become a Heavenly God?¡± Dongfang Ji stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was only Second Rank.


    And he dared to think about becoming a Heavenly God?


    For a moment, Dongfang Ji didn¡¯t know whether to say that Li Yuan was ambitiously far-sighted or arrogantly overconfident.


    A Heavenly God!


    Even in the Divine Realm, that was an existence standing at the peak.


    ¡°The path to becoming a Heavenly God is very distant for me, and the road to ascension is even more illusory,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°Therefore, I can only seize the opportunity and strive to do my best.¡±


    ¡°There will be danger,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head. ¡°This soul transformation of yours almost led to your downfall.¡±


    ¡°Wanting great achievements without willing to take any risks, does such a good thing exist in this world?¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°Alliance Hierarch, have you not experienced life-and-death dangers on your cultivation journey?¡±


    ¡°The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle,¡± Li Yuan said emphatically.


    Li Yuan said no more.


    The enemies of the Heavenly Serpent Clan could kill even a Heavenly God.


    The enemies of the Ancient Torch Divine, were suspected to be the True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, a civilization also coveting the Seven Star Civilization.


    Currently, the Seven Star Civilization seemed to be in no crisis, Li Yuan¡¯s family and loved ones were also at peace.


    Indeed, for a very long time, Li Yuan¡¯s normal growth was also very dazzling¡­ but the lurking dangers of the future forced Li Yuan to consider more.


    If there was no chance to achieve Second Rank Eight Star Veins, so be it.


    But with a great opportunity to forge a foundation that surpassed the disciples of the Heavenly Gods, Li Yuan naturally chose to take a gamble.


    ¡°Ha ha,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°In your bones, you only believe in yourself,¡± Dongfang Ji sighed lightly.


    In that moment, Dongfang Ji understood the difference between Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai was the type with a very steady personality and was also willing to believe in others.


    In his heart, Fang Hai actually thought he would find it difficult to surpass Dongfang Ji and admired him greatly.


    But Li Yuan was different.


    In his bones, he had a kind of obsession; once he accepted a responsibility, he wanted to carry it forward completely instead of relying on others.


    Sometimes, this is stubbornness!


    Even, it could be said to be madness.


    But geniuses are indeed obstinate.


    Without a heart determined to be the strongest and not inferior to anyone, it is very hard to reach the ultimate peak.


    A strong person can be defeated by an enemy, but their spirit must not be defeated.


    ¡­


    ¡°You have already created miracles,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°I will give you advice and the utmost help; it¡¯s up to you to make the choice.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    The full support of the Alliance Hierarch was excellent.


    ¡°You just mentioned that you want to sweep the Second Level Star Realm?¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Now, do you have the confidence to battle Duanmu Hong?¡±


    ¡°Among the level 36 Flying Heaven Star Lords, he is of average strength, and his comprehension of True Intent is not far from the Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Duanmu Mountain Lord?¡± Li Yuan thought for a moment, then said, ¡°Given a bit more time, I should be able to match or even defeat Duanmu Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°Defeat?¡± A light seemed to flash in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes. ¡°Are you really confident?¡±


    ¡°I am,¡± Li Yuan truly was.


    Several years ago, during a battle with the level 36 Myriad Scales Beast Emperor in the Ming Xu Star Realm, Li Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage and only managed to win using the authority of the Mothership.


    In terms of power, Duanmu Hong was far superior to the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor; though their True Intent comprehension was similar, Duanmu Hong held absolute advantages in weapons, treasures, Star Technique, and many other aspects.


    Especially Star Techniques!


    Li Yuan estimated that Duanmu Hong had cultivated at least four Star Techniques, with no shortage of Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor? Back then, he had only cultivated one Star Technique.


    But today¡¯s Li Yuan was different from before.


    ¡°Fundamentally, I am at an absolute disadvantage, with a full six-level gap.¡±


    ¡°In terms of Star Technique, I am also at a slight disadvantage,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°But in the Mysteries of True Intent, I should far surpass Duanmu Mountain Lord, which should compensate for most of the disadvantage.¡±


    The most critical point was that of the Semi-Divine Level Soul.


    Once he had cultivated the Spiritual Secret Technique, he could inflict severe impact, which gave Li Yuan enough confidence.


    ¡°It seems.¡±


    ¡°This period, you¡¯ve made progress again in the comprehension of True Intent,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    The breakthrough in the True Meaning of Wind had indeed strengthened his Spear Technique quite a bit.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°your awakening of the Seven Star Veins, and the stronger star veins, indicate a stronger spiritual power, higher skill mysteries¡­ I believe in your strength.¡±


    ¡°But.¡±


    ¡°When venturing into the Second Level Star Realm, you must still be cautious, especially those with demigods, you must avoid them,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°And for those Star Realms that may harbor Flying Heaven Limit Experts, you should also stay clear.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Duanmu Mountain Master could be considered to possess the normal 36th level combat power, ranking among the extremely strong within the Flying Heaven Peak.


    But there are even stronger ones among the 36th level Flying Heaven, those whose True Intent Comprehension has reached the Sixth Stage Perfection (Demigod Level), these experts are usually called Flying Heaven Limit Experts.


    They are on the verge of making a breakthrough to demigodhood at any moment.


    If Li Yuan were to encounter a Flying Heaven Limit Expert, he was not confident he could win, but he did have hope of protecting himself.


    Stronger than that? There were those like Fang Hai before he achieved the Seven Star Veins, also at the 36th level, but had already stepped into the Threshold of the Law¡­ his combat power was nearly that of a demigod.


    If he encountered a Flying Heaven Warrior who was nearly a demigod, Li Yuan admitted to himself, he would definitely not be the match.


    A demigod?


    A gap of two whole major realms, not a sliver of hope of winning! It was a matter of dying in one move or two.


    ¡°You go back first.¡±


    ¡°I will provide you with the list of Star Realms as soon as possible,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Those that pose a huge threat, are rich in resources, yet don¡¯t have too powerful enemies in the Second Level Star Realms¡­ all need to be swept clean.¡±


    ¡°Also, the attacks must be swift.¡±


    ¡°Once you make a move in one Star Realm, the other Star Realms will definitely receive the news very quickly,¡± Dongfang Ji earnestly said, ¡°They will likely retreat rapidly and go into hiding.¡±


    ¡°Once they hide.¡±


    ¡°It will be difficult for you to search each Star Realm one by one,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°I understand.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    For example, in the Rob Sea Star Realm, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, with the ground even deeper by thousands of kilometers, if a Flying Heaven Warrior hid deep in the ground, even with a Semi-Divine Level Soul, how long would it take to search?


    How long would it take to scour numerous Star Realms?


    It was like trying to catch fish in a lake.


    ¡°Let me know when you are about to depart,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    Not long after,


    Li Yuan returned to the Seven Star Mountain, quickly placed orders in the Seven Stars Treasury, and purchased some treasures.


    ¡°This time, I can only act under the identity of the Spirit Gun,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°Not yet achieving Flying Heaven, I still cannot reveal my true identity.¡±


    To sweep through numerous Second Level Star Realms, one aim was to clear many obstacles of civilization.


    Secondly, it was to acquire Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    ¡°I must first master the Spiritual Secret Techniques,¡± Li Yuan quickly selected two suitable ones from the many Inherited Secret Techniques left by Qiu Bingzun and Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Burning Heart Blade!¡±


    ¡°Mind Soul!¡±


    These two Secret Techniques had very ordinary names, but their might was terrifying; the former was a Spiritual Secret Technique left by Qiu Bingzun, extremely domineering in effect, specializing in directly exterminating the enemy¡¯s soul.


    The latter, left by the Ancient Torch Divine, was somewhat similar to an Illusion Technique, used for disrupting the enemy.


    Both these Spiritual Secret Techniques were only accessible for cultivation to those with a Semi-Divine Level Soul, and at most, they could be cultivated all the way to the True God Level, incredibly profound.


    ¡°Truly formidable.¡± After a bit of comprehension, Li Yuan marveled at them, none of the Spiritual Secret Techniques he knew within the Seven Star Civilization could match these two. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°With great power comes great difficulty in cultivation,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If my spiritual power were just at the 40th level, I¡¯m afraid I would still struggle to cultivate them.¡±


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan bought many more exotic treasures to aid in the cultivation of these two Secret Techniques.


    In the blink of an eye,


    over a month went by, and Li Yuan finally gained initial mastery over these two Secret Techniques.


    ¡°To continue cultivating now would yield no significant improvement in the short term,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Spear Technique, Spiritual Secret Technique, and many other aspects had all reached a limit, impossible to breakthrough in a short time.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to take action.¡±


    ¡°Aim to push the Spiritual Awakening Level to 75%,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    ¡­


    ¡°Little Bing, are you ready?¡± A trace of thought from Li Yuan entered the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Good, you probably know about this operation,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°If we encounter a powerful enemy, when the time comes, it might be Little Bing who needs to take action.¡±


    ¡°Big Brother, rest assured,¡± Liu Bing said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve never fought a life and death battle before.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; in terms of raw combat strength, Little Bing was even more fearsome than himself.


    But she hadn¡¯t cultivated any Spiritual Secret Techniques.


    ¡­


    ¡°Sister, are you really going to accompany me? This time we are heading to an outer-dimensional Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    ¡°I now, officially recognize you,¡± Gu You said, shaking her head.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan smiled.

 Chapter 609 - 343: For Civilization! Sweeping Through the Ten Directions

    Chapter 609: Chapter 343: For Civilization! Sweeping Through the Ten Directions


    Inside the massive Fourth Rank Battleship, the ¡°Invisibility¡± system was activated. Coupled with the warship¡¯s extremely high permissions within the Seven Star Alliance, it was undetectable.


    ¡°Ha ha, finally meeting the number one prodigy of the Seven Star Civilization, not bad, not bad at all,¡± said the suit-wearing, burly blond middle-aged man with a laugh: ¡°Even younger than I had imagined.¡±


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan saluted respectfully, also feeling quite moved in his heart.


    Li Yuan never expected that the Alliance Hierarch would directly arrange for ¡®Lant Semi-Divine¡¯ to come and protect him personally.


    Lant Semi-Divine hailed from one of the Seven Great Planets, ¡®Heavenly Sea Star¡¯.


    He was the first Semi-Divine in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, the most ancient being in the civilization, and had once commanded the civilization for over a century¡­ Before Dongfang Ji¡¯s rise, he was the undisputed second most powerful figure in the Seven Star Civilization.


    ...


    Even to this day, Lant Semi-Divine remained the recognized second strongest in the civilization, second only to Dongfang Ji.


    Moreover, Li Yuan¡¯s current actual permissions in the Virtual Network were ¡®Semi-Divine Level¡¯, granting him access to an abundance of information.


    He was well aware that within the civilization, there were differences among Semi-Divines, some Semi-Divines were highly trusted, like the San Ye Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others.


    Some Semi-Divines were not trusted.


    After all, history had seen Semi-Divines betray the civilization, causing immense destruction.


    Yet, Lant Semi-Divine could be considered the core of the entire civilization.


    Just like Li Yuan, who had grown with the help of Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, Dongfang Ji, and others.


    When Dongfang Ji rose to power years ago, he too had received guidance from Lant Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others.


    ¡°When the Alliance Hierarch spoke to me not long ago, I was quite shocked,¡± lamented Lant Semi-Divine, ¡°Never would I have imagined that Spirit Gun was actually Li Yuan. No wonder you¡¯ve kept yourself so well hidden.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    His Phantom Spirit Garment could only deceive a Semi-Divine briefly.


    And the Semi-Divines, each possessing a Semi-Divine Level Soul, were not so easily obstructed from prying.


    Semi-Divines, with minimal effort, could naturally discern the truth.


    And Lant Semi-Divine was trustworthy.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Alliance Hierarch to have you, sir, to protect me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s an honor I scarcely deserve.¡±


    ¡°You are such a prodigy, and now you are on Feixing. Naturally, you need to be cautious and aware of potential assassination by Semi-Divines. Since the Alliance Hierarch couldn¡¯t come, me coming to protect you is the best option,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile: ¡°Besides, don¡¯t call me an old man, I¡¯m not old.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, my mistake,¡± Li Yuan laughed: ¡°You are very young, senior.¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were among the older Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But in fact, they were only a little over three hundred years old. Relative to their life spans lasting a thousand years, they were still young, and there was still hope for them to Ascend to God.


    ¡°I¡¯ve looked at the list,¡± said Lant Semi-Divine: ¡°Most are Star Realms located on Feixing.¡± sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Correct,¡± nodded Li Yuan.


    The entire civilization was connected to over a thousand Star Realms, but most were First Level Star Realms¡­ There were nearly two hundred Second Level Star Realms in total.


    And the list of Star Realms given by the Alliance Hierarch totaled 47 Second Level Star Realms, which was not a large number.


    More than half of the Semi-Divines were located on Feixing.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s inquiry in the database, Feixing should be the core of the entire Dimensional Plane, with realms like Nine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm all located on Feixing.


    Even the legendary ¡®Plane Passage¡¯ was on Feixing, though its exact location was unknown.


    The only Fourth Level Star Realm ¡®Demon Mountain Star Realm¡¯ was also in Feixing.


    For many reasons, Feixing gathered the cream of the Seven Star Civilization, with the highest population and the most experts¡­ Over half the Semi-Divines stayed on Feixing to guard it.


    ¡°Why choose Dragon Bone Star Realm first? The enemy is weakest there,¡± Lant Semi-Divine questioned with curiosity: ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you start with ¡®Mystic Demons Star Realm¡¯?¡±


    ¡°After all, once you begin your attack, you will expose yourself, and the enemies of other Star Realms will certainly retreat quickly,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said: ¡°Then, concentrating the slaughter will be very difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled.


    Mystic Demons Star Realm was the strongest among the enemy forces on the list of Star Realms, it also had the largest territory, connecting to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ There were dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization, among which were several Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Were there any Flying Heaven Limit Experts? It was uncertain!


    While Dragon Bone Star Realm was very weak, with only a few Flying Heaven Alien Races.


    ¡°Senior Lant,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°I have my considerations; you¡¯ll understand when the time comes.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Anyway, the Alliance Hierarch only asked me to protect you; the specifics of the plan are up to you, the executor,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    He held an extremely high status within the civilization; even Bai Shan Semi-Divine had to address him as ¡®senior¡¯.


    But since the Seven Star Alliance¡¯s establishment more than a hundred years ago, he had been keeping a low profile and even refused the title of ¡®Second Alliance Leader¡¯.


    He held a favorable view of Li Yuan.


    After learning of Li Yuan¡¯s deeds through Dongfang Ji, he held him in high regard.


    In Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes, Li Yuan was like Dongfang Ji of yesteryears, possibly bringing another wave of innovation and change to the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Not long after,


    The massive Fourth Rank Battleship arrived above the not-so-large War Fortress¡ªDragon Bone Fortress.


    This was the direct passage to Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    And the only conduit between the Seven Star Civilization and Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    The entire fortress had already been put under martial law, and even the several Flying Heaven Warriors originally stationed here had been ordered to stay away.


    The goal was to conceal Li Yuan¡¯s movements.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors knew only that the high echelons of the civilization were in motion. As for what exactly was being undertaken? By whom? It all remained a mystery.


    ¡°Senior Lant, I¡¯m going now,¡± Li Yuan whispered.


    Whoosh!


    His form distorted with light, Li Yuan silently entered the War Fortress; the Prime Warriors, First Rank Warriors¡­ inside the fortress couldn¡¯t detect him after he had concealed his aura.

    ¡°`


    Soon,


    Li Yuan had already passed through the ¡°Star Realm Passage¡± at the bottom of the War Fortress and entered the Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    ¡­


    ¡°This Star Realm really is small,¡± Li Yuan remarked as he quickly flew out from the ¡°Outpost¡± located more than ten kilometers underground.


    He reached the surface and even soared into the high skies.


    ...


    In the sky was a dark sun, its light dim.


    ¡°Dragon Bone Mountain Range,¡± Li Yuan observed the vast mountain range on the ground, stretching thousands of kilometers. From its formation, it resembled the fallen skeletal remains of a divine dragon.


    Hence its name, ¡°Dragon Bone Mountain Range,¡± and the entire Star Realm was named after it, Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    ¡°According to the intelligence gathered over many years,¡±


    ¡°The conditions in the Dragon Bone Star Realm are very suitable for cultivating the Second Rank Spiritual Medicine ¡®Ling Le Fruit¡¯, as well as many First Rank Spiritual Medicines,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In terms of value, they were much higher than the ¡®Vital Blood Source Ganoderma¡¯ he had discovered in the Flying Serpent Valley years ago.


    Simply put, this Star Realm was very suitable to become a medicinal garden for the Seven Star Civilization. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However!!


    Compared to the expected yields, the enemy¡¯s forces were too strong¡­ The Dragon Bone Star Realm had two major forces.


    One force was indigenous, with several Flying Heaven beings.


    The other force was from the Foreign Civilization ¡®Fire Winter Civilization,¡¯ a name given by the Seven Star Civilization. They also had several Flying Heaven Alien Race members stationed here.


    The two forces were fiercely battling each other.


    The Seven Star Civilization?


    First, it was only in the past dozen years that an entrance to the Star Realm was discovered, and secondly, they were unwilling to invest too great a force for a small Star Realm to directly erupt into conflict with the Fire Winter Civilization, hence they had not taken action.


    After all, like Yu Jinghe and the others before, they were not able to break through the War Fortresses of the Fire Winter Civilization.


    Even so.


    ¡°To this day, the Fire Winter Civilization probably doesn¡¯t even know that a Star Realm Passage has appeared between us and the Dragon Bone Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    The Seven Star Civilization had many Star Realms, and they had come into contact with many Foreign Civilizations, most of which would not result in direct and tragic conflict.


    ¡°What a pity,¡± Li Yuan mused, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.


    Whoosh!


    He landed back on the ground and quickly flew towards the ¡®tail end¡¯ of the Dragon Bone Mountain Range.


    Over the past dozen years, although the Seven Star Civilization had only established an Outpost, they had been continuously gathering intelligence on the entire Star Realm¡­ Now that the intelligence had reached Li Yuan¡¯s hands, it was proving useful.


    ¡­


    Red Moon Base was the main base of the Fire Winter Civilization in the Dragon Bone Star Realm, with many strong beings stationed inside.


    Among them, there were several Flying Heaven warriors.


    In the deepest part of the base was a beautifully magnificent hall; the entire hall was empty except for a soft grand bed at the center.


    At the moment, two figures were hysterically entangled on the bed, venting their desires.


    After a while,


    The two finally relaxed.


    ¡°Big brother, you were much more fierce than last time,¡± the enchanting woman lay on the bed like a puddle of mud, her body covered with scales resembling snake scales, quite beautiful to behold: ¡°I almost couldn¡¯t handle it.¡±


    ¡°I just made a breakthrough to Level 33, naturally, I¡¯m more impressive,¡± the burly man teased with a laugh: ¡°Besides, if you can¡¯t handle it below, there¡¯s still above.¡±


    ¡°Stop it,¡± the enchanting woman snorted.


    The burly man burst out laughing, with a wave of his hand, a wine cup from a distant table floated over, and he drank heartily.


    ¡°Big brother, when do you plan to make a move on those Alien Races from Dragon Head Mountain?¡± the enchanting woman changed the subject.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°These indigenous Alien Races, none of them have any Star Techniques, and their foundations are pitifully weak. They only rely on that old dragon¡¯s strength,¡± the burly man¡¯s eyes turned icy: ¡°I¡¯m now Level 33, and my Star Meridian is stronger. Once I¡¯ve cultivated a more powerful Star Technique, I can start plotting to make a move.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Once this group of Alien Races is wiped out, the entire Star Realm will be our domain,¡± the burly man said: ¡°By then, we¡¯ll also have a bargaining chip to negotiate with our tribe, free and easy.¡±


    ¡°Mhm,¡± the enchanting woman¡¯s eyes were full of admiration.


    Being trapped in a Star Realm, never able to return, many strong beings were discontented, yet many Flying Heaven Warriors without high aspirations found joy in it too.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± An invisible force silently infiltrated the chamber, and immediately swept over the two Flying Heaven warriors.


    The secret technique ¡°Mind Soul¡±!


    ¡°Hm?¡± The enchanting woman, still revealing a large expanse of fair skin, was suddenly overtaken by a trace of confusion.


    With her Origin Power Cultivation only at Level 31, her Soul was quite ordinary.


    ¡°Hm?¡± The burly man, however, struggled in his eyes as he was Level 33 with a much stronger Soul, naturally better at resisting this Soul Secret Technique.


    But it was only a struggle.


    After a moment, he too succumbed.


    Having stayed in the Dragon Bone Star Realm for a long time, without any significant enemies, and routinely cultivating, on top of indulging in pleasures, his Willpower had actually fallen a lot¡­ Soul Cultivation Level usually wouldn¡¯t decline, but Willpower would gradually change over time.


    Some people, strong-willed in youth, might weaken as they approach old age.


    ¡°I¡¯ve become a Semi-Divine? Became the overlord of the entire World? With so many beauties,¡± the burly man was now completely immersed in the ¡°Mind Soul¡± secret technique¡¯s constructed Illusionary Realm.


    He was lost in it.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Another surge of destructive Soul Power crept silently into the hearts of the two Flying Heaven warriors. This power was much more domineering than the previous Soul Force.


    The secret technique ¡°Heart Scorcher Blade¡±!


    Just seconds later, the two powerful Flying Heaven warriors suddenly stiffened, then collapsed limply, their Soul presence quickly dissipating.


    Their bodies showed no damage, but they were dead.


    Because their Souls had been annihilated.


    Spiritual Attack, that is, Soul Attack, is so domineering, different from Material Attack¡­ Material Attack can cause damage over and over, and it is difficult to annihilate directly.

    Chapter 611: Chapter 343: For Civilization! Sweeping Across All Directions_3


    And soul attacks either fail or, once successful, can silently claim a life¡­ with the soul and body of the powerful so firmly fused, soul eradications become incredibly difficult.


    Souls, in the end, are but an illusory force.


    ¡­


    In the void of Red Moon Base,


    Li Yuan was fully concentrated on concealing his presence, his Divine Sense enveloped the entire base, making everything within subject to his Inquiry.


    No one in the entire Red Moon Base could detect his existence.


    ...


    ¡°Two bases,¡±


    ¡°Five Flying Heaven Warriors, one at the Flying Heaven Middle Stage, four at the initial stage, all obliterated by soul attacks,¡± Li Yuan felt a trace of fatigue: ¡°Mission perfectly accomplished.¡±


    Just like physical attacks tire the body and require the consumption of Origin Power, preventing prolonged combat¡­ soul attacks also consume Soul Power and similarly require time to recover.


    ¡°No exposure.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, no one would even notice that I was here,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Why start with the weaker Star Realms? That was why!


    With his powerful soul attacks, Li Yuan could silently eliminate a large number of ordinary Flying Heaven Alien Race members.


    If he started by attacking the strongest, like those at the Flying Heaven Peak, Li Yuan was not confident he could eradicate their souls directly, which would mean a direct assault and certain exposure.

    ¡°[You have slain a Third Rank Life, obtained Spirituality Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 64.5%]¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    Killing five members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race only increased his Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.5%.


    To raise it to 75%,


    he must slay hundreds more of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    ¡°Big brother, your soul attacks are truly formidable, capable of directly killing a Flying Heaven,¡± a green snake head emerged from Li Yuan¡¯s sleeve, Liu Bing spoke with eyes full of admiration: ¡°My soul attacks have difficulty even eradicating a Second Rank Life.¡±


    Since entering the Star Realm, Liu Bing had been coiling around Li Yuan¡¯s arm, making it convenient to strike at a moment¡¯s notice.


    ¡°It¡¯s just ordinary Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°Against you, it wouldn¡¯t be very effective.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s still some impact, and that¡¯s with me practicing the Soul Defense Secret Technique and having a Soul-guarding Treasure,¡± Liu Bing continued: ¡°Other Third Rank Lives, even those Flying Heaven Peak Experts, would probably be greatly affected.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    After mastering two Soul Secret Techniques, he had tested their power at the Ancient Divine Palace¡¯s Hundred Battles Arena and also on Liu Bing¡­ Liu Bing¡¯s Willpower was somewhat lacking, now only at the ordinary Flying Heaven Level, but her soul had grown to the 39th level.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent¡¯s Bloodline Talent had a staggeringly rapid growth before ascension to godhood, even after, the rate of progress was terrifying.


    A strong soul, coupled with secret techniques and treasures, created a formidable resistance to soul attacks; Li Yuan could only manage to slightly unsettle her.


    Of course!


    Treasures like those that directly shield the soul are hard to come by; as far as Li Yuan knew, most Divine beings didn¡¯t have them¡­ at least Gu You didn¡¯t seem to possess one.


    Liu Bing? Many of her treasures were not left by Qiu Bingzun, but by the Heavenly Divine of the Snake Clan.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Head to Dragon Head Mountain,¡± Li Yuan said quietly, he did not go on to kill the First and Second Rank Lives at Red Moon Base.


    Killing them wouldn¡¯t yield Spirituality Nourishment.


    Moreover, even if these First and Second Rank lives were exterminated, the Fire Winter Civilization could quickly send more¡­ most importantly, if they were all slain, the Fire Winter Civilization would surely find out swiftly.


    As it was now, with the five Flying Heaven leaders from both bases falling silently, it would likely take some time before the Fire Winter Civilization became aware.


    Many weaker civilizations do not possess ¡®Life Crystals¡¯ and such treasures.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Little Bing,¡± Li Yuan spoke somberly: ¡°We need to make haste.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    The green snake, which was originally coiled around Li Yuan¡¯s arm, rapidly enlarged, spread its wings, and lifted Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    ¡°Big brother, hold tight, we¡¯re about to fly.¡± The green snake emitted a hazy green light, which also faintly enveloped Li Yuan, her speed suddenly surged to a terrifying level, surpassing 20 times the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.


    She was faster than most Flying Heaven Limit Experts.


    ¡°Ha, exhilarating, whoo! Big brother, I¡¯ve been holding back for years,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice was cheerful.


    Li Yuan laughed.


    ¡°This speed is indeed terrifying; the ¡®Sky-Cleaving Wings¡¯ truly deserve to be a Nine Layer Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly.


    This was the first time Liu Bing revealed her full strength.


    In terms of pure speed, Li Yuan had to admit that after losing the ¡®Wind Feather¡¯ Star Technique, his speed was probably only a third of Liu Bing¡¯s.


    Not even close to the same level.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, one of the strongest Divine Beasts of the Wind Vein across the Divine Realm, had a terrifying talent, especially for speed.


    Liu Bing, who had practiced the most fitting and powerful Escaping Method Star Technique, ¡°Sky-Cleaving Wings,¡± along with a Law Comprehension comparable to a Demigod in the middle stage (Threshold of the Law).


    It could be said,


    In terms of pure speed, Liu Bing was unrivaled, nearing the level of a Demigod.


    ¡­


    Dragon Head Mountain, the stronghold of the native powers of Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    Within a vast cavern,


    ¡°Keep practicing hard.¡±


    ¡°With the powers of those extraterrestrial beings growing stronger, if we do not practice diligently, we will eventually be utterly eradicated,¡± two enormous Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts spoke solemnly.


    In the hall below, many Second Rank Exotic Beasts listened respectfully.


    As a native force, they were too weak, with little heritage¡­ and the low intelligence of the lower rank members prevented a stable heritage from forming.


    However, in the conflict with the Fire Winter Civilization, they had always been struggling, even as their tribal power weakened, they had never thought of giving up.


    Suddenly,


    An invisible disturbance swept through, and right before the eyes of the many Second Rank Exotic Beasts, the bodies of the two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts stiffened and they fell thunderously, dying instantly.

    Chapter 612: Chapter 343: For Civilization! Sweeping through Ten Directions_4


    ¡°Roar~~¡±


    The entire Dragon Head Mountain was in chaos, as many Second Rank Exotic Beasts attempted to seek out the other Flying Heaven Ancestors, but soon discovered¡­ the other Flying Heaven Ancestors had already perished.


    Likewise, there were no wounds, but their Soul presence dissipated.


    This was definitely the sky collapsing!


    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re thoroughly doomed, it must be Fire Winter Civilization acting in the dark, our entire World will be occupied,¡± declared the most prominent Second Rank Exotic Beasts in utter panic.


    ...


    With all the Third Rank Ancestors gone, leaving only them, the Second Rank Lives, how could they possibly fight?


    Up till now, they still didn¡¯t know exactly how their own Third Rank Ancestors had perished.

    In less than a quarter of an hour.


    With Liu Bing¡¯s assistance, Li Yuan had already returned to Feixing, back on the Fourth Rank Battleship.


    ¡°Why are you back so soon? Did you encounter trouble?¡± Lant Semi-Divine asked, slightly surprised.


    From the time Li Yuan left for the Dragon Bone Star Realm to his return, less than an hour had passed.


    Such a short span of time.


    In Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s estimation, Li Yuan had at most slaughtered a certain faction.


    Therefore, it could only indicate that he encountered trouble and had to return midway.


    What an unfavorable start!


    ¡°Don¡¯t be disheartened,¡± Lant Semi-Divine consoled.


    ¡°Fire Winter Civilization, local forces, a total of nine Flying Heaven experts, all slain.¡±


    ¡°No disturbance to Fire Winter Civilization,¡± Li Yuan whispered, ¡°Elder, let¡¯s head to the next Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Lant Semi-Divine widened his eyes, ¡°All slain?¡±


    What kind of slaughtering speed was this?


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Onto the next Star Realm.¡± Lant Semi-Divine didn¡¯t doubt Li Yuan¡¯s words, and with a thought, the battleship swiftly took off.


    The slaughter plan had already commenced, so naturally, the quicker the pace, the better.


    The longer the delay, the higher the exposure risk.


    ¡­Time passed.


    Jade Sea Star Realm, within a massive city belonging to the ¡®Fire Hell Civilization¡¯.


    ¡°Continue to consolidate.¡±


    ¡°Continue to proliferate; the wars within the Star Realm have been peaceful for so long, our Breeding Area can continue to expand,¡± discussed six Flying Heaven experts belonging to the same tribe.


    This was their routine meeting.


    Suddenly.


    A rustle¡ªa wave of invisible fluctuations passed by; swiftly, the six Flying Heaven experts silently perished.


    Due to it being a high-level meeting, other experts of the base remained unaware for a short duration.


    ¡­


    Mountain Demon Star Realm.


    Beneath an imposing and endless mountain.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± the mountain trembled.


    A powerful creature as massive as a mountain, its body pitch-black, stomped upon the Earth, looking up at the figure in the void above.


    ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± the Mountain Demon leader asked, both terrified and furious.


    He had just been asleep moments ago and was suddenly attacked, initially via a Soul Attack¡­ he nearly died.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t bother with idle talk and immediately moved, transforming into a streak of light and lunging forward.


    If the Soul Slaughter did not succeed, then face the battle head-on.


    ¡°Hum~¡± Silent Soul waves enveloped the area once more.


    The Mountain Demon leader, the strongest of the Alien Race in the Mountain Demon Star Realm, had a body level of 35.


    ¡°Whir!¡±


    As the Mountain Demon leader struggled vacantly, a seemingly slow yet terrifyingly beautiful spear light shone.


    The Spear Light tore through heaven and earth!


    ¡°Splat~¡± The Mountain Demon leader¡¯s seemingly formidable body was instantly ripped open with a huge gash, followed by another streak of Spear Light, piercing directly through his skull.


    The Mountain Demon leader, dead!


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, stood in the void.


    Unmoved if not provoked, once he struck, Li Yuan naturally unleashed his strongest attack, combining the Two True Meanings of Wind and Earth, the Black Chen Spear exploded! The Supreme Star Technique of the God Body of All Things burst forth.


    With the Soul Attack as a distraction, it was naturally a one-hit kill.


    ¡°In terms of power, this Mountain Demon leader was slightly stronger than the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor back then.¡±


    ¡°He was the strongest among the hundreds of Flying Heaven Alien Race I¡¯ve slaughtered these past few days,¡± Li Yuan mentally noted.


    In less than two days.


    Li Yuan had already obliterated over thirty Star Realms, from the weakest to the strongest, but all were Soul Slaughters.


    This Mountain Demon leader was the first Flying Heaven Peak Expert Li Yuan had encountered, forcing him to act.


    ¡°Big brother, another win!¡±


    ¡°Haha,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s excited voice rang out, then suddenly he seemed puzzled, ¡°Big brother, why do I feel you¡¯re not quite happy?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve killed another batch of enemies, nearly twenty Flying Heaven Alien Race in this Star Realm have been slaughtered, and the Seven Star Civilization should be able to swiftly occupy this Star Realm. Big brother, you should be happy,¡± Liu Bing wondered.


    Li Yuan sighed softly and did not speak.


    The more he killed, the less joy Li Yuan felt in his heart, but his resolve only deepened.


    Looking down at the body of the Mountain Demon leader below.


    ¡°Sorry!¡± Li Yuan thought silently, his expression ice cold, ¡°But for my civilization, I must do this!¡±


    Whoo!


    Liu Bing carried Li Yuan swiftly away from this Star Realm.


    Li Yuan glanced at the panel in the Divine Palace:


    [Spiritual Awakening Level: 75% (Current limit 75%, third Spiritual Guidance can be initiated.)]


    In the past two frantic days of slaughter, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Awakening Level had already reached the 75% limit.


    Yet.


    Without completely concluding this operation, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t stop.


    ¡°The easily cleared Star Realm targets are all completed,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes icy cold. ¡°The next targets are all Flying Heaven Peak experts.¡±


    ¡°Thus, let¡¯s start slaughtering from the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Next target.¡±


    ¡°Mystic Demons Star Realm!¡±

    Chapter 613: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?


    Dragon Bone Star Realm, Red Moon Base.


    ¡°Two lords, didn¡¯t you say you would summon me today? Why haven¡¯t you come out after so long?¡± A burly man clad in crimson battle armor, his face covered with scales, stood in front of the Quiet Chamber, hesitant.


    He had already been waiting outside for several hours.


    No response to his messages.


    Despite this, he dared not knock on the door, aware of the temper of the two lords¡­ even a slight disobedience would be severely punished.


    In the Dragon Bone Star Realm, it was almost dictated by their words.


    ...


    Suddenly.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Several streaks of light darted over, each with a formidable presence, but all had faces filled with terror.


    ¡°Meng Huoyan, why are you here? Where¡¯s Lord Tao?¡± The leader, a large man in black armor, landed with a face full of panic, looking at the man in crimson armor.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The man in crimson armor felt alarmed, ¡°How did you come from Dark Heart Base, did something happen?¡±


    A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.


    Dark Heart Base, another base, was not very far away, but still several hundred kilometers.


    Normally, these Second Rank Lives, being commanders, wouldn¡¯t all come to Red Moon Base without reason.


    ¡°They are dead!¡±


    ¡°All dead.¡± The man in black armor¡¯s eyes turned blood-red, his voice tinged with fear, ¡°Lord Blood Axe and the others, both are dead!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± The man in crimson armor was greatly shocked, repeatedly asking, ¡°What exactly happened?¡±


    ¡°Today we went to report, but we found the door to the Quiet Chamber open, so we went in and discovered both lords dead inside.¡± The man in black armor continued, ¡°And their bodies were intact, no injuries, but their life force had completely disappeared.¡±


    Meng Huoyan felt his heart tremble.


    Dead without a sound!


    ¡°We then sent messages to Lord Tao, Lord Qing, but when we got no responses from either, we immediately decided to come here.¡± The man in black armor went on, ¡°That¡¯s when we ran into you, Meng Huoyan.¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Huoyan couldn¡¯t stay still any longer.


    ¡°Even if the two lords blame us, it can¡¯t be helped anymore.¡± Meng Huoyan thought quickly, took out a token, and placed it on the door of the Quiet Chamber.


    Subsequently, he input the verification password!


    Finally.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The door to the Quiet Chamber slowly opened, revealing the passage leading further inside.


    Yet even then, there was no response from inside the Quiet Chamber, and Meng Huoyan¡¯s heart was full of concern.


    Swoosh!


    Meng Huoyan rushed in first, followed closely by the other Second Rank Lives. After quickly passing through two corridors, they witnessed a horrifying scene.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors, lying disheveled on a large bed, already devoid of life.


    ¡°They¡¯re dead too?¡±


    ¡°This!!¡±


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s dead.¡±


    ¡°All the Flying Heaven experts within the Dragon Bone Star Realm are gone.¡± This scene sent chills down the spines of the few Second Rank Lives.


    What kind of bizarre spectacle was this?


    What danger had they encountered that all the Flying Heaven experts were dead? Could those of them who remained alive manage to survive?


    Without hesitation.


    These Second Rank Lives immediately activated an emergency route, reporting to the higher-ups of the Fire Winter Civilization.


    ¡­


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s dead?¡±


    ¡°Died silently within the base?¡± Fire Winter Civilization also had more than ten Demigods, who upon receiving this shocking news, quickly gathered together.


    Bizarre!


    ¡°The War Base should withstand a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, how could Tao Zhen and the others have died without cause?¡±


    ¡°The bodies are intact!¡±


    ¡°Not a single injury, and from the current situation, there were no signs of resistance?¡± These Demigods, having vast insight, quickly surmised a possibility.


    Soul Annihilation!


    The Flying Heaven Warriors of Dragon Bone Star Realm had been killed by soul annihilation.


    ¡°Tao Hai, who¡¯s Level 32 and has cultivated for many years¡ªsilently annihilating his soul is not something ordinary Demigods could achieve?¡±


    ¡°At least it must be a Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°Demigod? A small Dragon Bone Star Realm, could it have birthed a Demigod adept at soul attacks?¡± These Demigods from Fire Winter Civilization found it a bit absurd.


    Could it be a native?


    But logically, the natives only had a few at Flying Heaven Level¡­ and if it were the natives, with the terrifying power of a Demigod, they could have directly overwhelmed the War Base, so why bother with such complications? sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Too many things made no sense!


    ¡°How could such a terrifying enemy suddenly emerge?¡± A Demigod was puzzled.


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first.¡±


    ¡°Whatever the case, it shows that a terrifying force is hidden in the shadows of Dragon Bone Star Realm. They only targeted Flying Heaven, not killing First and Second Rank Lives, definitely not because they couldn¡¯t¡­ it¡¯s likely because Flying Heaven can¡¯t retreat and are inherently a threat.¡± A Demigod analyzed, ¡°But if we don¡¯t retreat now, probably all First and Second Rank Lives will be wiped out.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll slowly investigate, but for now, we need to avoid a huge loss.¡± Quickly, the highest echelons of Fire Winter Civilization reached a consensus.


    Retreat!


    The enemy was too strong; continuing to contest with them on Dragon Bone Star Realm was akin to hurling eggs against rocks.


    ¡­


    Not only the Fire Winter Civilization, but many Foreign Civilizations that experienced attacks also didn¡¯t realize at first but gradually came to understand the truth over time.


    Naturally, it terrified them.


    The most terrifying was the Dream Sea Civilization, within one of their star realms nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors, excluding four not inside the Main Base, the remaining sixteen had fallen silently.


    A nightmare!


    ¡°Who did this?¡±


    ¡°Demigod! This must be the work of a Demigod!!¡±


    ¡°Ordinary Demigods couldn¡¯t achieve this, it must be one extremely proficient in soul attacks.¡± These Foreign Civilizations were both shocked and puzzled.


    However, such incidents are always kept secret.

    Chapter 614: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_2


    Given the short time span and the fact that most civilizations had only made contact with the Seven Star Civilization, with few bordering each other¡­ therefore, most powers had not yet thought of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But there were exceptions.


    ¡­


    Fire Hell Civilization.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s another Star Realm where a similar situation has occurred? Most of the Flying Heaven warriors have fallen.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The same situation, where they died silently and suddenly? Possible soul annihilation?¡± These semi-divines at the highest echelons of Fire Hell Civilization were all shaken.


    Their civilization bordered two Star Realms with the Seven Star Civilization.


    Quickly¡­


    The Fire Hell Civilization found a commonality.


    ¡°The attacks on both realms occurred within a very short interval.¡±


    ¡°Both of these Star Realms are Second Level Star Realms!¡±


    ¡°Both border the Seven Star Civilization, and previously we have been constantly at war with each other.¡± The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization rapidly grew suspicious of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Could it have been the Seven Star Civilization?


    Otherwise, there¡¯s no explaining why so many Star Realms were unharmed, yet these two faced trouble.


    ¡°If it is the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s doing, how did they do it?¡±


    ¡°Could it be a demigod? But demigods cannot enter the Second Level Star Realms!¡±


    ¡°Secret treasures? But then why not slaughter the Flying Heaven warriors?¡± The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization found the doubts overwhelming.


    ¡°What do you think!¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Seven Star Civilization has an incredibly powerful Prime Warrior who can annihilate the souls of Flying Heaven warriors?¡± One of the semi-divines questioned: ¡°Didn¡¯t we hear that the Seven Star Civilization has a Prime Warrior known as Spirit Gun? It¡¯s said that his strength is formidable, at the level of the Flying Heaven Peak.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun indeed has this strength.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s a brute force assault, I would believe it.¡±


    ¡°But one of Second Rank, could his soul really have undergone a transformation to the Semi-Divine Level? Impossible! That¡¯s too far-fetched.¡± These semi-divines argued among themselves.


    It wasn¡¯t that they looked down on Spirit Gun.


    But a Prime Warrior with a Semi-Divine Level soul? To the semi-divines, that was utterly fantastical.


    However, as time passed¡­


    The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization, upon eliminating all other possibilities, realized that this theoretically impossible scenario had the highest probability of being true.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    ¡°First, pull back the First and Second Rank lives.¡± The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization issued the command: ¡°Without Third Rank lives, we can no longer fight against the Seven Star Civilization. If we continue to commit forces¡­ it would simply be a death sentence.¡±


    After ordering the retreat¡­


    ¡°Begin contacting other civilizations.¡±


    The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization began to mobilize: ¡°Our war with the Seven Star Civilization is on a small scale, after all, it only involves two Second Level Star Realms. If the Seven Star Civilization indeed has such a heaven-defying Prime Warrior, it¡¯s not possible they¡¯d only take action against us.¡±


    ¡°The other civilizations will not escape either.¡±


    ¡°Go ask the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization has faced the most brutal warfare with the Seven Star Civilization.¡± The higher-ups of Fire Hell Civilization began attempting to make contact with other civilizations.


    ¡­


    Some Foreign Civilizations had yet to detect the situation, while others, situated in isolation, could only speculate wildly.


    Some Foreign Civilizations were powerful and suffered heavy casualties like Fire Hell Civilization and began to carry out deductive analysis.


    Just as Fire Hell Civilization was about to contact the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the frontline of Mystic Demons Star Realm. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­Mystic Demons Star Realm featured ranges of undulating mountains and unfathomably deep gulfs and oceans.


    This Star Realm was one of the largest Second Level Star Realms between the Seven Star Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    In terms of resource richness, it was no less than the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Over decades, both sides had poured in massive resources¡­ and with the War Fortresses becoming increasingly fortified, the rise of each side¡¯s Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Within the Star Realm, the two civilizations had maintained a standoff, each finding it difficult to overpower the other.


    Today.


    Above the Main Base of the Seven Star Civilization hung several massive Fourth Rank Battleships; within one of the ships gathered dozens of Flying Heaven warriors.


    ¡°Why are so many Flying Heaven warriors suddenly called over today?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t know!¡±


    ¡°Could a major battle be about to start?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Many Flying Heaven warriors, including two of the strongest Flying Heaven Peak Experts, were all somewhat perplexed.


    They had become permanent residents within the Mystic Demon Civilization and could not return.


    But faced with orders from the highest level of their civilization, these Flying Heaven warriors were resolute in obedience.


    Whoosh!


    Numerous rays of light shot out, converging to form a Phantom.


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Semi-Divine.¡± Over fifty Flying Heaven warriors bowed respectfully, many with eyes full of admiration.


    ¡°To gather you here today!¡±


    ¡°Is to inform you,¡± Lant Semi-Divine spoke gravely, ¡°that today is the day we will completely uproot the Myriad Demon Civilization¡¯s forces within the Mystic Demons Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Completely uproot the Myriad Demon Civilization¡¯s forces?¡±


    ¡°This!¡± The dozens of Flying Heaven warriors present were startled and instinctively incredulous.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped!


    They had been fighting against the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s warriors for decades and, even if sometimes gaining the upper hand, had never managed to breach the enemy¡¯s War Bases¡­ those had been reinforced over decades.


    Could Lant Semi-Divine have some method?


    ¡°No need to ask further.¡±


    ¡°Depart immediately, attack! As soon as you reach the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Base, you will understand,¡± Lant Semi-Divine spoke sonorously.


    Until now, he had not revealed anything.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped.


    Just as the Seven Star Civilization could have infiltrated other civilizations, within their own ranks, there could be enemy spies¡­ If word spread widely, the other civilizations would have long since retreated.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Despite the confusion in their hearts, the dozens of Flying Heaven warriors executed the order without hesitation.


    Thunderous rumble~


    Six Fourth Rank Battleships quickly cut through the sky toward the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Main Base.


    The Main Bases of the two major civilizations were less than three thousand kilometers apart.

 Chapter 615 - 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_3

    Chapter 615: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_3


    Traveling at the speed of a Fourth Rank Battleship, the assault was incredibly swift¡­ but the huge commotion they caused was also swiftly detected by the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization naturally closely monitored the area around their Main Base.


    But suddenly!


    The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization were horrified to discover¡­ that many of the dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors within the vast base had silently perished.


    ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± These four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were all bewildered. What was going on?


    ...


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had treasures similar to Life Crystals, but such treasures were extremely precious.


    It was impossible for every Flying Heaven Warrior to possess one.


    Only some extremely important First Rank and Second Rank prodigies, in addition to the Flying Heaven Peak Experts, were allowed to refine such a prodigy¡¯s Life Crystal.


    And under the cover of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense, coupled with the ¡°Divine Palace Exploration,¡± the killings were selective.


    Only targeting those at level 30, level 31, and those who were in seclusion within a Quiet Chamber.


    So, after slaughtering more than a dozen Flying Heaven Experts, the Myriad Demons Civilization side didn¡¯t even notice.


    However, there were no longer such opportunities.


    ¡°Fast!¡±


    ¡°Inaudibly and imperceptibly, it¡¯s definitely a soul slaughter! It¡¯s a Demigod secretly carrying out a Soul Slaughter.¡±


    ¡°Definitely a Demigod.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts quickly concluded and immediately panicked.


    A Demigod could have a Semi-Divine Level Soul, which was almost an iron law.


    ¡°It must be Bo De¡¯an from the Seven Star Civilization. Someone among them has become a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°So ruthless.¡±


    ¡°Silent, and suddenly a Demigod has emerged, even covertly attacking us.¡±


    ¡°Demigod! Indefensible.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡±


    ¡°Run, we can only run, fleeing deep into the earth, there might still be hope to avoid the chase.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts decided to flee in an instant while reporting the news.


    Run!


    They were all scared stiff. There was no helping it, the deterrence of a Demigod was too great.


    War Fortress? A joke in front of a Demigod.


    A Demigod was absolutely supreme over Flying Heaven Level. Even the most ordinary Demigod could kill a Flying Heaven Peak Expert with one move.


    That was the gap.


    Therefore, facing the suspected existence of a Demigod Expert, these four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were completely chilled to the bone.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°Run quickly.¡±


    ¡°While the Demigod hasn¡¯t begun a mass slaughter, if we all run together, perhaps a few can escape.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts turned into streaks of light, fleeing wildly through the passages within the War Fortress.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Demigod?¡± The remaining dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors also panicked completely and immediately fled.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A Demigod has emerged in the Mystic Demons Star Realm from the Seven Star Civilization?¡± The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization received the news promptly and were greatly shocked.


    In a Second Level Star Realm, once a Demigod emerged, they would be absolutely invincible.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°How could a Demigod emerge? Is the situation false? Bo De¡¯an and the others have cultivated for nearly a hundred years, only to become Flying Heaven Peak. How could they become a Demigod so quickly?¡± The upper echelons of the Myriad Demons Civilization were suspicious.


    It was simply too strange.


    Quickly!


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun!! The one slaughtering us is the Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re all dead!¡± S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°All of them are dead.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s still a Prime Warrior, hasn¡¯t broken through yet.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun has a Semi-Divine Level Soul!!¡± The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization quickly received this shocking news.


    What is this?


    Spirit Gun?


    Wasn¡¯t that freak Prime Warrior from the Seven Star Civilization already over fifty years old? How could he have not broken through yet?


    Keep in mind, in these years, the Spirit Gun had never made a move, leading many from the Myriad Demons Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, Immortal Ruins Civilization, and many other Foreign Civilizations to speculate that the Spirit Gun had already broken through.


    But now!


    Not only had the Spirit Gun not broken through, he had even come to the Mystic Demons Star Realm and possessed a Semi-Divine Level Soul?


    A Prime Warrior with a Semi-Divine Level Soul? These Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization felt a tremor in their hearts.


    How is that possible!


    ¡°Report to the Divine at once.¡±


    ¡°Quickly report to the Eastern Demon Deity.¡± These Demigods didn¡¯t dare delay, this matter was not for them to decide.


    ¡­


    Within the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    ¡°They¡¯ve started to run directly?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve noticed?¡±


    ¡°Was it me who frightened them?¡± Li Yuan, who was cloaked in his aura and remained at the edge of the War Fortress, executing soul slaughter attacks, suddenly noticed that the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization had started fleeing.


    Especially those four Flying Heaven Peak Experts, who had begun to flee separately.


    You must know, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense covered a radius of ten kilometers, an absolute range of perception.


    Unless it was a Divine, none could hide from Li Yuan¡¯s Inquiry.


    Ten kilometers might sound small, but most War Fortresses could hardly exceed ten kilometers in diameter.


    In short, most of the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization had always been under the cover of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense.


    And the range of the Divine Sense was where Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack could reach.


    That was just the direct Inquiry range of the Divine Sense; the soul perception range was much broader¡­ If there was an intense fluctuation of the Power of Heaven and Earth, even thousands of kilometers away, Li Yuan could faintly sense it.


    ¡°The other Flying Heaven Warriors don¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Letting them run will let the other Flying Heaven Warriors pursue at their leisure.¡±


    ¡°These four big fish, they cannot be allowed to escape.¡±


    ¡°If they escape, how can my Seven Star Civilization peacefully conquer the Mystic Demons Star Realm?¡± No longer concealing his aura, Li Yuan soared into the sky, roaring towards one of the fleeing Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    It was precisely this outburst of aura that made the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s War Fortress Inquiry system instantaneously lock on to Li Yuan.


    Exposing his whereabouts and identity.

 Chapter 616 - 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_4

    Chapter 616: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_4


    Among the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization, shock was quickly followed by an immediate reporting up the chain.


    However, in a moment of exposure,


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan lost control, his previously concealed Semi-Divine Level Soul fully erupted.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ In an instant, dozens of soul fluctuations radiated out from Li Yuan, slicing through the Vast Sky, directly attacking the minds of those dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ...


    In an instant, he attacked over thirty Flying Heaven Warriors at the same time.


    Soul Attack, formless and invisible.


    It couldn¡¯t be obstructed by ordinary things like metal or soil, and even Pseudo-God Level Combat Armor was mostly ineffective.


    This was also why Soul-guarding Treasures were so precious.


    ¡°Ah!!¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± The dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors fleeing through the fortress passages each looked as if struck by lightning, their eyes filled with terror.


    Silently.


    Thump~ Thump! Thump!! One after another, the Flying Heaven Warriors slammed into the walls while flying at high speeds.


    A few who had flown out of the War Fortress plummeted down.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°The inquiry system, vital signs, dissipated.¡± Inside the War Fortress, the many Prime Warriors engaged in monitoring were completely baffled.


    The battle had come too swiftly, and the Prime Warriors had no time to react.


    They saw many Flying Heaven Warriors taking actions, only to immediately see these warriors fall to the ground.


    Vital signs dissipated.


    Die! Die! Die! In almost a blink, more than twenty Flying Heaven Warriors had fallen to Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack.


    ¡°Are they all dead?¡±


    ¡°So many dead?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun! That soul attack came from his direction, carrying his aura.¡± Those four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were both shocked and horrified.


    They were shocked by Li Yuan¡¯s formidable power and filled with dread.


    Could a Prime Warrior be this strong?


    ¡°Are there eleven who survived?¡± Li Yuan felt waves of fatigue in his mind; such a widespread soul attack required a significant drain of soul power.


    He also felt somewhat unsatisfied: ¡°It seems that in a widespread soul attack, the might is greatly weakened.¡±


    To withstand a Soul Attack?


    One depends on soul strength, another on willpower, and the third is whether one has cultivated a Soul Defense Secret Technique.


    Willpower equates to the ¡®skill¡¯ of the soul.


    With the same Soul Cultivation Level, the stronger the will, the greater the might that can be exerted.


    Those whose souls Li Yuan instantly annihilated were almost all level 30, 31.


    But those slightly stronger could survive such a widespread soul attack.


    That was why Li Yuan preferred to stealthily attack each one individually.


    A widespread attack was too imprecise. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Only in isolated attacks could a soul attack unleash its greatest might, like against ¡®Tao Hai¡¯ from the Dragon Bone Star Realm, who, even at level 33, would die facing Li Yuan¡¯s multiple soul attacks.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Li Yuan, not minding his exhaustion, shifted his thoughts, and another widespread soul attack descended.


    This time the targets were dozens of other Flying Heaven Warriors, almost all of them Initial Rank strong.


    Kill the ones that could be killed.


    ¡°Spurt~¡±


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    ¡°Huff!¡± Nearly thirty Initial Rank Flying Heaven Warriors, each showing a face of terror, followed by their soul essences suddenly dispersing.


    In an instant!


    Another nearly thirty Flying Heaven Warriors were annihilated, a scene that made all remaining powerhouses of the Myriad Demons Civilization tremble.


    So terrifying?


    But at the same time, the four Flying Heaven Peak Experts nearly all had a thought emerge in their minds¡ª should they kill Li Yuan?

 Chapter 617 - 345: Slaughtered to near extinction

    Chapter 617: Chapter 345: Slaughtered to near extinction


    The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts thinking this way was normal.


    Previously, they believed it was a Demigod attacking, so the material attack must also be at the Demigod level; they couldn¡¯t block it no matter what.


    But the four of them sensed the source of the soul attack fluctuations and could confirm it was the Spirit Gun emitting the soul attack.


    And the aura of the Spirit Gun was indeed that of a Prime Warrior.


    Even if a Prime Warrior defied the heavens, even if their soul attack was terrifying, their material attack absolutely couldn¡¯t reach the Semi-Divine Level.


    Not even if they stepped into the Threshold of the Law with their Law Comprehension.


    ...


    Even if it were a Prime Warrior at the limit of the strongest Body Refining Art, fundamentally, they were still a thousand times weaker than a Demigod.


    ¡°He¡¯s attacking us covertly, which proves he¡¯s not confident about facing us head-on.¡±


    ¡°His soul attack can¡¯t eradicate us either.¡±


    ¡°Comprehension of True Intent, the further you cultivate it, the slower it goes. Even after several years, he might not have reached the Semi-Divine Level¡­ might not be comparable to level 36.¡±


    ¡°The four of us joining hands should stand a chance to defeat him.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re not like those native Beast Kings from the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts communicated extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, they made the decision¡ªkill!


    In fact, they all understood that since Spirit Gun dared to come, he must have had some confidence.


    But!


    If the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s grand army was about to attack, and if they fled the War Fortress, then the War Fortress would undoubtedly fall¡­ Even if they escaped, they couldn¡¯t return to the Myriad Demons Civilization and could only hide everywhere within the Mystic Demon Civilization.


    If they held the War Fortress?


    Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors and Prime Warriors would be swiftly killed by Li Yuan using soul attacks, and in the end, only a few of them, the bare commanders, would be left, unable to hold on just the same.


    But if they could quickly kill Spirit Gun, then even if most Flying Heaven Warriors had already fallen¡­ relying on the sturdiness of the War Fortress, they might still hope to withstand the impact of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s grand army.


    Spirit Gun was the biggest threat!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts, who were still fleeing, abruptly stopped and transformed into four streaks of light, attacking Li Yuan like lightning.


    Buzz~ One of the figures, clad in blood armor, became blurry as soon as it moved, as if it had vanished into space.


    ¡°Turn back and engage proactively.¡±


    ¡°Are they coming to kill me?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were icy cold; having just slaughtered dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors, he was in a surge of murderous intent.


    Killing many Star Realm natives, even though he obtained a large amount of Spirituality Nourishment, didn¡¯t bring much joy to Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    But killing the strong from the Myriad Demons Civilization? Li Yuan only felt exhilarated, eager to kill even more.


    To extinguish them all would be best!!


    Now, as they turned back to him, nothing could please Li Yuan more.


    Boom! Li Yuan¡¯s body instantly became five meters tall, already employing the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He emanated a hazy divine light, and his speed surged even faster, covering two kilometers in a second, closing in on the nearest silver-armored figure.


    ¡°Pity, I scrubbed off the Escaping Method Star Technique, otherwise, with my comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind, my flying speed could also reach ten times the speed of sound, which would be considered fast even among Flying Heaven Peak Experts.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was fixed on his adversary, clutching tightly the Black Chen Spear.


    It had been several years since he¡¯d experienced a life-and-death struggle.


    Level 35 powerhouses from the Myriad Demons Civilization were not those simple Star Realm natives¡­


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    The burly man in silver armor suddenly roared, his body likewise growing to a height of five meters, his aura skyrocketing as he wielded an absurdly large Battle Axe: ¡°Die!!¡±


    Whoosh~


    The Battle Axe was lifted high as if to split a mountain, furiously chopping down.


    ¡°Take my spear!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s cold voice echoed through the Vast Sky, subverting the void, and around him, the heavens and the earth mobilized numerous azure and earth-yellow flows. His Vigor completely erupted as well, reaching peak might, with the Long Spear thrusting straight forward!


    Whoosh~


    This thrust pierced through the void, invoking both Wind and Earth True Intents, combining speed and force.


    ¡°Huh? What¡¯s happening? Wasn¡¯t I fighting?¡± An invisible soul fluctuation infiltrated the silver-armored man¡¯s mind, causing his consciousness to falter, and the assaulting Spear Light before his eyes to blur, as if plunging into the Abyss.


    It was as if he¡¯d fallen into layers upon layers of dreams.


    Soul Secret Technique ¡°Mind Soul¡±!


    ¡°No, it¡¯s another Soul Secret Technique, wake up! Wake up!¡± The silver-armored man roared in his mind, his consciousness desperately struggling, but inevitably, his control over his body was rapidly declining.


    To wield great power required the soul!


    But now, most of the silver-armored man¡¯s Mental Consciousness was resisting Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack, the soul power for executing the Axe Technique naturally weakened substantially¡­


    ¡°Boom!¡± The Long Spear and Battle Axe collided fiercely.


    The silver-armored man had cultivated the Fifth Layer Body Refining Art, and his True Intent Comprehension was also at Sixth Stage High Rank. Even if his soul was greatly affected, the might of this axe was incredibly formidable.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s strike, although not using the Nine Shadows Clone, didn¡¯t hold back at all in this frontal attack.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    The silver-armored man felt an overwhelming force sweeping over him, his body trembling as he spat out blood, his palm split open and drenched in blood, nearly unable to hold onto the Battle Axe, his entire figure flying backwards like a shooting star.


    ¡°Is he really that strong? He¡¯s definitely comparable to a level 36 Star Master.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior, can he truly unleash such power? Impossible!!¡± The silver-armored man finally woke up from the Soul Secret Technique, his heart filled with terror.


    Terrifying!


    Just one exchange had driven him to complete despair.


    What he didn¡¯t know was that Li Yuan, melding the Mysteries of Earth and Wind True Intents, had refined his Spear Technique to an intricacy nearly at the Seventh Stage.


    It could be said that the intricacies of many Demigods¡¯ maneuvers were not as profound as Li Yuan¡¯s.

 Chapter 618 - 345: Slaughtered to near extinction_2

    Chapter 618: Chapter 345: Slaughtered to near extinction_2


    ¡°Run!¡± the Silver Armored Strongman had given up resisting, but just as he thought of escaping,


    he felt an invisible soul power attack him, once again blurring his consciousness.


    ¡°Again?¡± The Silver Armored Strongman roared in his heart. Despite being prepared, he couldn¡¯t fend off this kind of soul invasion


    ¡ªit was even worse than before; his eyes started to look vacant.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Yet another terrifying spear light swept across the vast sky, this time, without any battle axes to block it, it brutally swept across the body of the Silver Armored Strongman, the tremendous impact immensely worsened his injuries.


    ...


    Just as Li Yuan was about to kill him with one strike,


    ¡°Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!¡± the quiet void suddenly pierced out six rays of sword light, revealing six identical figures in Blood Robes.


    ¡°Shadow Clones? Suoduohe, I¡¯ve been waiting for you!¡± Li Yuan glanced at him, his gaze icy cold


    Suoduohe, one of the most terrifying among the four Flying Heaven Peak Experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization. His practiced Star Techniques were similar to those of ¡®Lude Nef,¡¯ also focusing on stealth and assassination.


    Unfortunately!


    His stealth techniques, in front of Li Yuan, seemed rather amateurish.


    On one hand, Li Yuan had a high level of comprehension of True Intent, and on the other, his Divine Sense was extremely strong, enabling him to easily pinpoint the real body of Suoduohe.


    This was the disadvantage of the Shadow Clones, once the real body was identified, more than 80% of the might of this Star Technique would disappear.


    Boom boom boom boom!


    Li Yuan instantly split into nine, each clone holding a long spear, emitting a terrifying aura, making it impossible for the present Flying Heaven Warriors to distinguish the real from the fakes.


    The Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Nine Shadows Clone.¡±


    ¡°Whir! Whir! Whir!¡± All nine Li Yuans burst forth simultaneously, Li Yuan¡¯s real body emitted a might that touched the sky, and though the other eight clones had only 20% of his original strength, their weapons were also formidable.


    Although the Star Technique was still at the Second Rank Limit.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind, far exceeded the time during the great battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, with nine spear lights subtly forming a very special combat formation, it was as if a first layer of heaven and earth pressed down. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Puff~ Puff~ Puff~


    A series of spear lights swept across, penetrating those Blood Robe figures, Suoduohe¡¯s six illusionary bodies instantly were destroyed five times¡­ Eventually, the nine spear lights bizarrely charged towards a point in the void.


    That point, was precisely where Suoduohe¡¯s real body was!


    ¡°No!!¡± Suoduohe¡¯s eyes widened.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The convergence of nine spear lights was Li Yuan¡¯s strongest strike now, making Suoduohe¡¯s body explosively burst open, blood flying everywhere.


    ¡°Not cultivating in Body Refining Star Technique, life force indeed weak,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold.


    The most fearful aspect of Suoduohe was his stealth and shadow clones¡­ once these were ineffective, his threat in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes was actually the weakest among the four.


    Boom!


    After obliterating Suoduohe in one encounter, Li Yuan rapidly swooped towards the still-fleeing Silver Armored Strongman.


    ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± The Silver Armored Strongman¡¯s body, under the action of Origin Power, had significantly recovered.


    But his heart grew even more desperate.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°Hurry.¡± The other two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, witnessing the death scene of Suoduohe, were completely terrified and turned to flee madly like crazy.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Whir whir whir!¡± Accompanied by nine dazzling spear lights consecutively sweeping past, one of the spear lights completely pierced through the chest of the Silver Armored Strongman, his front combat armor shattered.


    His heart shattered too.


    Previously, Li Yuan worried about scaring away Suoduohe and hadn¡¯t unleashed his full strength, now he naturally showed no mercy.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± The Silver Armored Strongman gritted his teeth, trying to trigger his Origin Pill to self-destruct.


    The Origin Pill, as the source of Origin Power, could be detonated by the martial artist if they wished¡­ only, it usually required time.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    Another spear light swept across, the Black Chen Spear directly penetrated the Silver Armored Strongman¡¯s body, closely followed by long spear movements that instantly shattered the Origin Pill in his stomach.


    Dead!


    ¡°So long just to kill, the vitality was quite strong, in terms of strength much stronger than Wang Ling in those years.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold; these two were the strongest experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    He flicked his hand, gathering all the treasures of the Silver Armored Strongman, his gaze sweeping through the two still dispersing and fleeing in the distance.


    Rumble rumble~ one of them had even escaped out of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense range, diving directly into the earth.


    ¡°Must kill them all.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s thought moved, and another vast range of soul attack spread out, targeting the War Fortress, where those utterly terrified ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ Puff! Puff! Puff! Another dozen or so Flying Heaven Warriors silently fell.


    Boom! Li Yuan pursued one of them.


    Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, under full speed burst, reaching speeds over eight times the speed of sound, was not difficult.


    Simultaneously, a streak of green light shot from Li Yuan¡¯s arm, directly drilling into the depths of the earth.


    ¡­


    Several Fourth Rank Battleships of the Seven Star Civilization had not fully approached yet, but using their technological instruments, they could already see the scene above the War Fortress.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°He killed them all in the blink of an eye!¡±


    ¡°Suoduohe is dead! Ji Qi is dead! Is this the power of the Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°Compared to a few years ago, his strength has increased immensely.¡± Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors were all shocked, completely stunned.


    Then, they felt overwhelming joy in their hearts.


    With such a powerful ally, the Seven Star Civilization conquering the Mystic Demons Civilization was entirely foreseeable.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Charge through and break the War Fortress,¡± the leader in the black robe urged.


    ¡°Shefei is also dead!¡±


    ¡°Three of the four major threats are gone.¡± Through the projection, they saw the scene where Li Yuan killed the third Flying Heaven Peak Warrior.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that one escaped.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is fast, but it doesn¡¯t overwhelmingly outpace other Flying Heaven Peak Warriors.¡±


    ¡°To have killed three is already insane.¡±


    ¡­


    In the void, Li Yuan hovered in place.


    Underneath him, there were many dismembered limbs and flesh, belonging to another Flying Heaven Peak Expert he had just killed.


    ¡°Indeed, the Myriad Demons Civilization has quite a few treasures.¡± Li Yuan casually picked up the opponent¡¯s Storage Treasure and began to inquire into it.


    It held much more than those native to Flying Heaven.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, I should be able to kill all of them, and I¡¯ve also killed most of the other Flying Heaven Warriors.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s cold gaze swept over the distant area and the massive War Fortress: ¡°The remaining forces¡­ the army should be able to clean them up.¡±


    Li Yuan did not intend to finish all the tasks himself.


    It was too time-consuming.


    And to erase so many First Rank and Second Rank lives with soul attacks¡­ Li Yuan feared he wouldn¡¯t be able to perform soul attacks for a while.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Li Yuan soared into the sky, his figure surrounded by twisting light, already disappeared into the void.


    ¡­


    The Myriad Demons Civilization possessed several dozen Life Planets.


    A Life Planet often represented a ¡®Divine State.¡¯


    Night Peak Divine State, located at the Night Peak Planet, served as the entry and exit point of the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    Additionally, most of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s strength in the Mystic Demons Star Realm came from the Night Peak Divine State.


    Night Peak Divine State, with its history, once birthed a divine being¡­ The Divine had long passed away, but the legacy left behind enabled the entire Divine State to have nearly twenty Demigods.


    Today, in the highest holy site of the Divine State, ¡®Night Peak Divine Temple¡¯, three guarding Demigods were all shocked while watching the scene revealed through the projection in the center of the temple.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Level Soul!¡±


    ¡°To be able to kill a Flying Heaven Peak so easily in direct combat, how strong must his Spear Technique be?¡± a long-haired man said somberly, ¡°I fear that his profundity in Spear Technique is comparable to ours, it¡¯s terrifying.¡±


    ¡°This has only been a few years?¡±


    ¡°Such little time, the East Demon Demigod has yet to respond.¡±


    ¡°The progression of Spirit Gun¡¯s strength is simply beyond comprehension, especially since his base remains at the Second Rank.¡± The three Demigods were slightly dazed, as Spirit Gun¡¯s strength surpassed their imagination and understanding.


    Not to mention the present, even throughout the lengthy years of the Myriad Demons Civilization, there had been no precedent.


    ¡°Tennessee, you must flee quickly.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun can¡¯t possibly stay here forever.¡± The golden-haired female Demigod spoke somberly: ¡°As long as you hide¡­ once Spirit Gun leaves, there is still a chance, the Mystic Demons Star Realm is immense.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Demigod,¡± the central phantom said solemnly.


    Tennessee, the only remaining Flying Heaven Peak Expert, fled into the depths of the Earth in the first instance.


    The depths of the Earth could obstruct vision.


    ¡°I have temporarily evaded the pursuit of Spirit Gun, it seems he did not follow.¡± Tennessee continued as his true body was fleeing rapidly.


    This slightly eased the minds of the three Demigods, relieved that not everyone was killed and one Flying Heaven Peak Warrior was left, which was significant.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°No!!¡± Tennessee¡¯s phantom suddenly burst forth with a low roar, filled with terror: ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡±


    A splat¡ª


    The phantom instantly dissipated! Fallen!


    The three Demigods were astonished.


    Snake? What snake?

 Chapter 619 - 346: The Great Retreat! The Scheme of East Demon

    Chapter 619: Chapter 346: The Great Retreat! The Scheme of East Demon


    Mystic Demons Star Realm, within the void.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, enshrouded in his battle suit, turned into a streak of light speeding forward, hurrying towards the entrance and exit of the Star Realm.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh¡ªa streak of cyan light shot through the clouds and mist, closely following and landing on Li Yuan¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, have you dealt with it?¡± Li Yuan communicated telepathically.


    ...


    Just a while ago, he had to simultaneously pursue two Flying Heaven Peak Experts and couldn¡¯t handle both, so he had dispatched Liu Bing to chase down Tennessee who had fled deep into the earth¡­ With Liu Bing¡¯s speed, catching up to a Flying Heaven Warrior wasn¡¯t difficult.


    ¡°Hehe, big brother, it was a piece of cake,¡± Liu Bing communicated back. ¡°Just an ordinary Flying Heaven, not even someone on Duanmu Hong¡¯s level could be my match.¡±


    Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    He often exchanged information with Liu Bing, and she was aware of some of the strong individuals from the Seven Star Civilization, so she roughly knew the strength of Duanmu Hong.


    ¡°Did you reveal yourself?¡± Li Yuan asked, which was crucial.


    Even though he had swept through dozens of Star Realms¡­ other than traveling, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t let Liu Bing take action.


    Xiao Bing was a trump card.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have.¡± Liu Bing shook her head continuously. ¡°I concealed my aura, closed in instantly, and killed him. He probably didn¡¯t have time to send a message.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan understood. Xiao Bing had done her best to hide; if the message still leaked, there was nothing to be done.


    ¡°Big brother, are we now rushing to the other Star Realms of the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Liu Bing asked.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°However, the news of the great battle in the Mystic Demons Star Realm has spread. As long as the Myriad Demons Civilization isn¡¯t stupid, they should have ordered the withdrawal from their Star Realms¡­ So, first, let¡¯s go to the Star Realms bordering other civilizations.¡±


    ¡°Other civilizations might not receive the message so quickly.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll follow Big Brother¡¯s lead.¡± Liu Bing giggled, and her serpent¡¯s head extended from the sleeves: ¡°Wherever big brother points, I¡¯ll strike.¡±


    She didn¡¯t care about the victory or defeat of the Seven Star Civilization, she cared only about Li Yuan¡¯s feelings.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and only half an hour later.


    Within the Gao Dong Star Realm.


    ¡°Attack!¡± Li Yuan used a Soul Attack, directly killing more than a dozen Flying Heaven Warriors and finally alarming their leader.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± A voice full of shock and anger followed, and a half-man, half-beast muscular figure soared into the sky.


    In just an instant, the half-beast strongman saw Li Yuan, who had actively shown himself.


    ¡°Sorry.¡± Li Yuan moved his lips but didn¡¯t make any sound, then dashed directly towards the adversary.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With the Black Chen Spear in hand, Li Yuan instantly split into nine, releasing his full strength. Terrifying spear lights tore through the Vast Sky, attacking the half-beast at the Flying Heaven Peak from all sides.


    Each spear light, even those performed by his clones, were incredibly mighty.


    ¡°Put!¡±


    In full force, the adversary lasted only two moves against Li Yuan, unable to withstand any longer, his head was pierced by the long spear and exploded into pieces.


    Dead!


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Yuan thoroughly eliminated the Flying Heaven forces of the opposition and quickly moved on.


    ¡­


    As time elapsed, after two more Second Rank Star Realms were utterly devastated by Li Yuan, and several Flying Heaven Peak Experts were slain by him,


    The news finally couldn¡¯t be contained any longer.


    It spread thoroughly.


    First to spread the news was within the Seven Star Civilization itself, for the Myriad Demons Civilization had already become aware, and there was no point in forcibly hiding it anymore.


    So, the obstruction of news dissemination was lifted.


    ¡°What? Spirit Gun has reappeared?¡±


    ¡°In the Mystic Demons Star Realm, just in one battle, he killed three Flying Heaven Peak Experts and used soul attacks to kill dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors? Now our Seven Star Civilization has completely conquered the Mystic Demons Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Heavens! Prime Warrior, easily killing Level 35 Flying Heaven Experts, how strong must the Spirit Gun be?¡±


    ¡°After being silent for these years, I thought Spirit Gun had already broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, but I didn¡¯t expect that he hadn¡¯t yet broken through, still just a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Second Rank, yet possesses a Semi-Divine Level Soul!¡±


    ¡°This is unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°I feel like he¡¯s even more monstrous than Fang Hai!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no comparison.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai is terrifying! But at least at the Prime Warrior stage, Spirit Gun is absolutely legendary! Undisputedly the strongest.¡± The higher echelons of the Seven Star Civilization, including the Demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors, were all passionately discussing and were shocked and astounded.


    ¡°This is a blessing for our civilization!¡±


    ¡­


    And the exploits of Spirit Gun, in an extremely short time, were also known by many Foreign Civilizations.


    On one hand, many Foreign Civilizations had intelligence channels within the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s upper echelons. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the other hand, the deliberate spread by the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s higher-ups, passing on the information to other civilizations, aimed to reduce the ¡®battle achievements¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization.


    As a result, in an extremely short time, many Star Realms from the pillaged Foreign Civilizations quickly came to understand.


    ¡°Is it really Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°Is the one slaughtering our Star Realm¡¯s strong ones truly the Seven Stars Humanity? Damned Seven Stars Humanity, damned Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Such a terrifying Prime Warrior, able to possess a Semi-Divine Level Soul? How did he do that?¡±


    ¡°Daring to kill my disciple, he truly deserves death.¡± Many of the pillaged Foreign Civilizations were shocked and then filled with endless rage.


    This kind of covert assassination was the most frightening and infuriating.


    But, after the rage, these civilizations¡¯ higher-ups also felt powerless.


    ¡°We can¡¯t compete!¡±


    ¡°With such a defy-the-heavens Prime Warrior, with Spirit Gun present, these Second Level Star Realms are indefensible, let¡¯s retreat.¡±


    ¡°Why can the Seven Star Civilization continuously produce so many outstanding geniuses? This civilization has only risen for a few hundred years, right?¡±


    ¡°What can anger do? None of us Demigods can kill our way to the Seven Star Civilization.¡± Many of the damaged Foreign Civilizations could only swallow their losses.

 Chapter 620 - 346: The Great Retreat! The Scheme of East Demon_2

    Chapter 620: Chapter 346: The Great Retreat! The Scheme of East Demon_2


    The competition between civilizations within the Dimensional Domain is just like this.


    The strong are able to occupy more Star Realms, take more resources, which in turn gives birth to even more powerhouses and geniuses¡­ and so the cycle continues.


    The presence of the Spirit Gun has given the Seven Star Civilization the upper hand in this phase of the Second Level Star Realm competition.


    ¡°Our civilization also has contact with the Second Level Star Realms that the Seven Star Civilization has connections with, and we haven¡¯t been attacked yet,¡± many Foreign Civilizations that haven¡¯t encountered attacks are also filled with worry.


    ¡°We should retreat first. Order the many Flying Heaven Warriors to scatter and hide, don¡¯t stay in the bases.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Spread out, hide deep within the lands of the Star Realm, even if the Spirit Gun possesses a Semi-Divine Level Soul, it¡¯s impossible to find everyone. Once the Spirit Gun reaches the Flying Heaven Level and can no longer enter the Second Level Star Realm, that¡¯s when we¡¯ll start the counterattack.¡±


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Many high-ranking officials from the Foreign Civilizations made the same decision¡ªFirst Rank, Second Rank all retreat, and Flying Heaven elites scatter completely out of sight.


    There was no choice.


    Accompanied by successive messages, the power of the Spirit Gun was confirmed, and the bloody slaughter he embarked upon made any civilized leadership wary¡­ Within just a few days, the Flying Heaven Warriors who had died by his hand numbered in the hundreds.


    In fact, according to the list provided by Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t attack and slaughter most of the Second Level Star Realms¡­ but these Foreign Civilizations didn¡¯t dare to bet on it.


    Who knew if the Spirit Gun would come killing?


    ¡°Empty?¡±


    ¡°Not a single Flying Heaven Life found?¡± Li Yuan arrived at a new target Star Realm.


    As Divine Sense enveloped the area, he immediately found that, apart from a few First Rank and Second Rank Lives that hadn¡¯t had the time to retreat¡­ there wasn¡¯t a single Flying Heaven elite.


    Normally, a War Base of this scale should have at least ten Flying Heaven Warriors as its guardians. How could there be none?


    There was only one possibility!


    These Flying Heaven elites must have already received the message and scattered.


    ¡°They must have escaped to various places within the Star Realm, they are difficult to pursue now.¡± Li Yuan frowned inwardly.


    A problematic situation had arisen.


    It must be understood that Li Yuan¡¯s initial reason for using secret Soul Attacks to eliminate the enemy was to delay the spread of the message as much as possible¡­


    Now it seems that, after the battle at the Mystic Demons Star Realm, the message had spread completely and could no longer be concealed.


    Therefore, no one would hold their ground.


    Nor would any Flying Heaven elite, without certainty, stay and defend the War Fortress.


    ¡°With so many Star Realms, each Star Realm being so vast, it¡¯s not possible for me to search each one thoroughly,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    He could devote some time to sweep the Second Level Star Realms.


    It wasn¡¯t possible to spend years or decades doing this.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s destroy the Main Base. The construction of each Main Base has also cost these Foreign Civilizations a great deal,¡± Li Yuan began his move.


    He followed the outer perimeter of the enemy¡¯s Main Base, attacking each key node¡­ If any First Rank or Second Rank powerhouse attempted to activate technological or Origin Power weapons, they were obstructed, annihilated by a shred of the Soul.


    ¡°That damn Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s actually attacking our War Base.¡±


    ¡°Bastard!¡± Hiding within the Star Realms, many Alien Race Flying Heaven elites, one after another, seethed with rage, their hearts bleeding.


    If the Main Base were destroyed, even if the Spirit Gun never returned, it would be hard for them to win against the large forces of the Seven Star Civilization.


    However.


    In the face of the destructive attacks by the Spirit Gun, not a single Flying Heaven elite dared to step out.


    ¡­


    Faced with the sudden eruption of the Spirit Gun, although most Foreign Civilizations that were attacked felt anger, in comparison to their own civilization¡¯s size, the loss wasn¡¯t considered large¡­ and it¡¯s unlikely that there will be greater losses in the future.


    After all, most Foreign Civilizations only bordered one or two Star Realms with the Seven Star Civilization.


    If they were lost, they were lost.


    But those truly in discomfort and unease, were the Myriad Demons Civilization!!


    Myriad Demons Civilization and Seven Star Civilization bordered far too many Star Realms, not only countless Second Level Star Realms but also not a few Third Level Star Realms, and even Fourth Level Star Realms¡­ One could fully anticipate that in the future, the Spirit Gun might become even more formidable than Fang Hai.


    When Fang Hai was at the Flying Heaven Level, he was capable of slaying Demigods.


    And the Spirit Gun? Not to mention the future, even now, the number of strong individuals from Myriad Demons Civilization who have perished at the hands of the Spirit Gun is already startling.


    Hence, in an extremely short span of time, the highest echelons of Myriad Demons Civilization struggled to assemble in one place.


    Myriad Demons Star, the Main Star of Myriad Demons Civilization.


    As the core of the entire Dimensional Plane, it was the planet with the most numerous population and strongest beings within Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Myriad Demons Hall, then, was the highest temple of Myriad Demons Civilization, hiding its most profound secrets.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three formidable presences arrived, one draped in a black robe exuding an aura of endless destruction, another appeared rather scholarly like a refined gentleman.


    The last figure was the most mysterious, with an extremely vague presence.


    Three Phantom figures stood facing each other at a distance.


    They were all just projections of Divine Sense, not their true bodies.


    ¡°Bei Yue, Qiong Jin,¡± the phantom in the black robe slowly said, ¡°you are both already aware of the situation. Our hope of overthrowing the Seven Star Civilization is becoming increasingly faint, and even in the not-too-distant future, we could potentially be extinguished by them.¡±


    ¡°I believe neither of you wishes to see Myriad Demons Civilization come to such a pass.¡±


    The other two shadows silently listened.


    As Divine beings, they would not be easily intimidated by a few words from the other party.


    The fall of a civilization?


    As Divinities, even if Myriad Demons Civilization were indeed to be destroyed, they could traverse the starry skies and live freely alone. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After living for over a thousand years, many relatives and even offspring were mostly long gone.


    To them, the billions of living beings within the civilization, even if they all perished, would hardly make an impact anymore.


    ¡°This time, with the outbreak of the Spirit Gun, many Second Level Star Realms have been ravaged. I have ordered numerous Star Realms to begin their retreat¡­¡± the black-robed phantom continued, ¡°These losses, however, are secondary¡­¡±


    ¡°East Demon, stop beating around the bush,¡± the most mysterious figure said in a deep voice, ¡°Spit it out, what do you want us to do?¡±


    ¡°You are the current leader of our civilization, and the war with the Seven Star Civilization was also spearheaded by you. Success or failure, it is all the same to me,¡± the mysterious figure looked at the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°Qiong Jin, you are also a leader of our civilization,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity in a deep voice, staring at the other, ¡°You have also grown with the blessings of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly why I¡¯m standing here listening to you,¡± the mysterious figure shook its head, ¡°If you don¡¯t get to the point, I shall take my leave.¡±


    ¡°East Demon.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s get straight to the matter,¡± the other figure, with a sacred aura, Bei Yue Deity, also said slowly.


    ¡°I need your help,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said solemnly, ¡°to try to clarify the true identity of the Spirit Gun and attempt to assassinate him.¡±


    ¡°The true identity of the Spirit Gun?¡± Bei Yue Deity wondered.


    ¡°According to the intelligence from the Seven Star Civilization, the Spirit Gun should be over fifty years old, already past the prime time for a breakthrough for a Prime Warrior¡­ Such an exceptional monster, even if pursuing the Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins, would not exceed 50 years old, it would be a losing proposition,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity spoke.


    Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity both nodded involuntarily.


    Like Qiong Jin Deity, most Demigods within Myriad Demons Civilization were unaware of his existence and were indifferent to the outcome of the war¡­ but they paid close attention to the Spirit Gun.


    After all, such a genius was unprecedented in the entire history of the Dimensional Domain.


    Wouldn¡¯t they be curious?


    ¡°Moreover, compared to the Spirit Gun¡¯s progress these past few years,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity continued, ¡°his advancement in the previous fifty years was a bit too slow, which is illogical.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Bei Yue Deity pondered.


    ¡°I suspect that his true identity does not match what the Seven Star Civilization has announced to the public,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said. ¡°Secondly, I wish to ask a Demigod to try to ambush him, to thoroughly eliminate the hidden danger.¡±


    ¡°Ask a Demigod?¡± A trace of light flashed in the eyes of both Qiong Jin and Bei Yue Demigods.


    Within an opposing civilization, if one could request a Demigod to carry out an assassination, that would be the highest-level action to take.


    ¡°Are you able to request a Demigod from within the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Qiong Jin Semi-Divine Level inquired softly, ¡°Are you confident?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Ruins Flame,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity looked at Qiong Jin Semi-Divine Level, ¡°You must be the one to make the approach.¡±

    Chapter 621: Chapter 347 The Fall of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!


    ¡°I also only recently, by a stroke of luck, came to know of his existence,¡± stated the Eastern Demon Deity, exuding an aura of destruction.


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°Ruins Flame spends most of its time in slumber, and it has a lazy nature, so logically you shouldn¡¯t have known,¡± observed the Qiong Jin Deity to the Eastern Demon Deity. ¡°But¡­ I won¡¯t delve into the reasons.¡±


    The Eastern Demon Deity smiled.


    The existence of the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine was very special.


    Under normal circumstances, even for a Semi-Divine powerhouse, sweeping the area where Ruins Flame resided with Divine Sense, trying to detect its presence, was impossible.


    ...


    ¡°The strength of Ruins Flame is among the weakest of its rank,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head, ¡°if you wanted to assassinate Spirit Gun, you¡¯d have entirely different methods at your disposal, such as hiring a Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divine or ambushing in places like the Great Snow Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°How easy could that be?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head. ¡°Spirit Gun¡¯s movements are mysterious, and the Seven Stars Civilization is definitely guarding him heavily¡­ Moreover, it¡¯s not difficult for us to secretly trade information with the Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But to ask a Semi-Divine to risk their life to attempt an assassination on Spirit Gun? The price we have to pay is unimaginable.¡±


    He paused. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Seven Stars Civilization now isn¡¯t what it was over a hundred years ago, Semi-Divines aren¡¯t so easily misled,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity continued.


    The Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity both understood what the Eastern Demon Deity meant.


    Before Dongfang Ji rose, the Seven Stars Civilization had access to far fewer resources, treasures, and inheritances than today.


    Buying a Semi-Divine wasn¡¯t difficult.


    But more than a hundred years have passed, the Seven Stars Civilization has grown stronger, and even ordinary Semi-Divines aren¡¯t so easily swayed.


    ¡°As for the Great Snow Star Realm?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head. ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed? The realms targeted by Spirit Gun for attacks are all within controllable strength¡­ He never approaches those Second Level Star Realms which have spawned Semi-Divines or might spawn Semi-Divines.¡±


    ¡°The Great Snow Star Realm, however, openly has Semi-Divines and is a Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    After a moment of thought, both the Bei Yue Deity and the Qiong Jin Deity also deduced this point from the information.


    The Seven Stars Civilization did indeed protect Spirit Gun meticulously.


    Whether it was Spirit Gun¡¯s whereabouts or his information, whichever forces of the Myriad Demons Civilization tried to inquire, nothing was leaked.


    So far, none of the foreign civilizations even knew who Spirit Gun specifically was or where he was cultivating.


    Even the list of realms he had attacked, so far, seemed carefully selected to avoid any risks.


    ¡°The Flame Surge Star Realm, which contains extremely rich resources, the Seven Stars Civilization is highly likely not to let it pass by, and in our disclosed information,¡± he looked at the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°there are only two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, with Ruins Flame Semi-Divine having never shown himself. This is the best opportunity,¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, Ruins Flame is considered very weak among the Semi-Divines, but to kill a Second Rank Life¡­ It is not difficult,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity.


    At the Flying Heaven Level, being able to battle across ranks with a Semi-Divine is legendary.


    A Prime Warrior, as capable as a Semi-Divine? That¡¯s absolutely impossible! Normally, a Semi-Divine could kill the opponent with just a thought.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed not difficult for Ruins Flame to kill Spirit Gun,¡± stated the Qiong Jin Deity. ¡°But you must also know, the price required for Ruins Flame to act is very high¡­ he rarely involves himself in conflicts between our two great civilizations.¡±


    ¡°No matter the price, we have to try,¡± declared the Eastern Demon Deity gravely.


    Among the three Deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization, he was the most ambitious and the one who deeply desired the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    In his heart, only by annihilating the Seven Stars Civilization and securing the treasures of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains could he hope to become a True God.


    To become a True God, he was willing to pay any price.


    ¡°Alright,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity nodded. ¡°Give me a moment, I will contact Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.¡±


    And with that, Qiong Jin Semi-Divine closed his eyes, seemingly using some special methods to try and contact Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Okay,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity didn¡¯t doubt him.


    Soon, Qiong Jin Semi-Divine opened his eyes. ¡°Ruins Flame has agreed to act, but you have to pay these treasures.¡±


    Whoosh~ The Qiong Jin Deity waved his hand.


    Immediately, a giant light screen appeared in the void of the Myriad Demons Hall, displaying a list of treasure names and the required quantities for each.


    ¡°What? So many? That¡¯s enough for several Divine Artifacts,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s face showed a slight change, skeptically looking at the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°Does Ruins Flame even need these items?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, you can ask Ruins Flame yourself,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity indifferently.


    The Eastern Demon Deity fell silent.


    Go ask himself?


    Ask my ass!


    ¡°Fine, I agree,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly, ¡°Qiong Jin, you tell Ruins Flame, I¡¯ll give him the Five Directions Divine Crystals worth of treasures as a deposit.¡±


    ¡°If he can kill Spirit Gun, I¡¯ll give him the rest of the treasures.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, if he cannot kill, but still confirms the identity of Spirit Gun, these Five Directions Divine Crystals of treasures need not be returned,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    ¡°No,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head, ¡°Only half.¡±


    ¡°Half?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity was puzzled.


    ¡°Ruins Flame said, pay half first, and he¡¯ll act once, even if he fails, he won¡¯t refund,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity said.


    ¡°That¡¯s excessive,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity frowned.


    The list of treasures was astonishing, even to a deity; they couldn¡¯t simply ignore it.


    ¡°If you¡¯re not willing, let¡¯s forget it. After all, it¡¯s you who wants Spirit Gun dead, I¡¯m just a mediator,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll just refuse Ruins Flame now.¡±


    Qiong Jin Semi-Divine acted nonchalant.


    ¡°Then forget it,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said quickly, staring at the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°Half it is, then. But you also tell Ruins Flame, I hope his intervention is worth these treasures.¡±

    Chapter 622: Chapter 347 The Fall of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_2


    ¡°Rest assured,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity.


    Soon after.


    While the Bei Yue Deity observed, the East Demon Deity and the Qiong Jin Deity discussed many details, and then the Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity departed.


    Inside the hall.


    Only the Divine Sense Phantom of the East Demon Deity remained.


    ¡°Scum!!¡± The East Demon Deity¡¯s gaze was ice-cold: ¡°Damn Qiong Jin, the matter of the assassination with the Spirit Gun, was clearly for the future of our entire civilization, yet he still tried to fleece me.¡±


    ...


    But he had no choice.


    Because the Ruins Flame Demigod was indeed the best choice.


    ¡­


    Far away from the Wan Mo Star Realm, on a distant planet.


    Qiong Jin Star, the location of the Vaulted Gold Divine Nation.


    However, the majority of the beings in the entire Divine Nation were unaware that their great ¡®Founding Deity¡¯ was still in the world.


    Deep underground, within a mysterious temple.


    ¡°Ha ha, I finally obtained it,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity laughed boisterously, sitting on the gleaming golden throne in the temple: ¡°This East Demon, I¡¯ve always asked him to send these treasures over, but he refused to give them to me.¡±


    ¡°This time, he has to cough them all up,¡± declared the Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡°Congratulations, Master, joyous celebration, Master,¡± said a white-robed youth respectfully standing in the temple.


    ¡°I know about the Spirit Gun wreaking havoc across numerous Second Level Star Realms, which is why you secretly passed the news of Ruins Flame to the East Demon. You did well,¡± praised the Qiong Jin Deity to his disciple.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Will the Dong Ming Deity suspect us?¡± the white-robed youth couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°He will definitely suspect, he might even be sure that I¡¯m setting him up, cursing me right now,¡± chuckled the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°But he has no choice.¡±


    ¡°Letting the Ruins Flame make a move is the best opportunity.¡±


    ¡°As long as the East Demon still wants to invade the Seven Stars Civilization, it¡¯s necessary to eliminate the threat of the Seven Star Civilization as much as possible, and the Spirit Gun is the biggest potential threat,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity.


    The white-robed youth nodded, greatly admiring his master who had orchestrated such a grand scheme.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for that East Demon¡¯s good luck back then, getting recognized by the Myriad Demons Hall and becoming the first leader of the civilization, I wouldn¡¯t have set him up,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity casually, ¡°But he took the legacy of the Myriad Demons Hall and didn¡¯t share any benefits with me. He tried to oppress me with the great cause of civilization, forcing me to make a move, wishful thinking.¡±


    The white-robed youth listened.


    He knew very well that his master once loyally contributed and sacrificed greatly for the Myriad Demons Civilization, even assuming the position of a leader of the civilization after Ascending to God¡­ But the choice of the previous generation of civilization leaders, as well as the current civilization leader, the East Demon Deity, had utterly disappointed him.


    ¡°I was lucky too.¡±


    ¡°More than two hundred years ago, you captured the just-born Ruins Flame from the Flame Surge Star Realm,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity looked at the white-robed youth with a smile, ¡°Although I cultivated him with all my heart, I didn¡¯t hold much hope. Unexpectedly, he¡¯s become a Demigod without us realizing it.¡±


    ¡°He was fated to become Semi-Divine with his innate bloodline,¡± said the white-robed youth.


    ¡°Mm,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity nodded.


    If it weren¡¯t for the potential of the Ruins Flame, he wouldn¡¯t have invested so much effort, later sending him back to the Flame Surge Star Realm, hoping that one day he would be of some use.


    For example¡ªhaving sole control of the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    ¡°Master, will that spirit weapon really enter the Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± asked the white-robed youth, ¡°According to the latest message, he should currently be at the ¡®Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯ occupied by the Cloud Beast Civilization, attacking those Brood Nest lairs.¡±


    ¡°Whether he goes to the Flame Surge Star Realm or not is no longer within our control,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°Many things, whether they can succeed or not, depend on luck.¡±


    ¡­


    Flame Surge Star Realm, thousands of kilometers deep beneath the great earth, a mysterious place with endless searing magma.


    A massive creature was snoring deeply in the magma.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er,¡± a deep voice suddenly echoed in the massive creature¡¯s mind.


    Whoosh!


    The massive creature abruptly opened its eyes, revealing crimson pupils, but his eyes were full of joy. With a whoosh, he took out a crystal-clear sphere and said deeply, ¡°Father.¡±


    This was his most revered adoptive father.


    The years he spent living with his adoptive father were the most comfortable times in his long life.


    ¡°How have you been lately, Yan¡¯er?¡± the voice of the Qiong Jin Deity came from the crystal sphere.


    ¡°All is well, only that I am unable to see Father,¡± the massive creature was very obedient.


    ¡°The core depths of the earth are your homeland,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s voice was gentle, ¡°Living here is where you have the hope of Ascending to God. Once you become a deity, we father and son will naturally meet again.¡±


    ¡°Your child will strive hard,¡± the massive creature promised gravely.


    The Qiong Jin Deity seemed approving on the surface, but he didn¡¯t care much in his heart¡­ For the Ruins Flame to become a Demigod had exceeded his expectations.


    A deity? Only a theoretical possibility remained.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, I have come this time to tell you something,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity said, ¡°Within the Seven Star Civilization, there is a very powerful Second Rank Life¡­¡±


    The Qiong Jin Deity quickly explained the situation.


    ¡°Second Rank?¡± The massive creature¡¯s voice contained a hint of amusement, ¡°Father, rest assured, as long as he rushes over, your child can crush him with a flip of the hand.¡± sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ¡°Father once said, even a lion should use all its strength to fight a rabbit, your child will be careful,¡± said the massive creature, ¡°Your child will go right away to wait attentively beneath Nine Flames City.¡±


    Nine Flames City.


    That is the Main City of the Wan Mo Civilization within the Flame Surge Star Realm, where many beings live.


    Not long after.


    Boom~ The massive creature surged through layer upon layer of magma, quickly heading from deep within the earth towards the surface.


    ¡­


    Rob Sea Star Realm, above a massive Brood Nest lair.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Li Yuan, completely enveloped in his Battle Suit, stood in the void, brandishing the huge Long Spear in his hand. The Long Spear seemed to contain the fearsome Might capable of destroying everything.

    ¡°Rip!¡±


    The spear light cut across the vast sky, instantly destroying the layers of black fog and directly reaching the thick shell of the brood nest below, immediately causing it to begin shattering layer by layer.


    ¡°Hisss~¡± The astonishing penetrative power contained within the spear light continued to maintain its formidable attacking force even after passing through the shell, incessantly annihilating the lives of the many brood beasts inside¡­ S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Ah~¡± Numerous brood beasts wailed, followed by a continuous cascade of death.


    Strike after strike.


    ...


    Finally, the brood nest¡¯s outermost ¡®beast body¡¯ was completely destroyed by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan moved again, his figure flashed, turning into a bolt of lightning and entered the interior of the brood nest.


    Rumble~


    The spear light blossomed incessantly; without the defense of the beast body, even the group of extremely powerful brood beasts inside couldn¡¯t withstand Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    It was a one-sided slaughter.


    Only a moment later.


    Boom! The enormous brood nest burst open, slowly collapsing.


    Li Yuan, covered in blood, soared into the sky, with a basketball-sized and blood-red, bizarre spherical crystal floating next to him.


    Myriad Beasts Blood Source!


    ¡°The third brood nest has been breached, and the entire Rob Sea Star Realm has essentially been leveled,¡± Li Yuan overlooked the land, revealing a slight smile.


    Of many Second Level Star Realms, the one he most wanted to annihilate was the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    But Li Yuan had been patient.


    It wasn¡¯t until his identity was exposed that he returned to Blue Star Xia Country and took action against the Rob Sea Star Realm¡­ The three brood nests that Xia Country had never been able to deal with in the past were now eradicated in one fell swoop.


    ¡°Mature brood nests are indeed a challenge, even for Flying Heaven Peak experts,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes fell on the Myriad Beasts Blood Source: ¡°This Myriad Beasts Blood Source is truly miraculous¡ªthose brood beasts combined together, although they¡¯re merely Second Rank, I still couldn¡¯t exterminate them at a soul level.¡±


    ¡°These must all be due to the Myriad Beasts Blood Source.¡±


    The last Myriad Beasts Blood Source he obtained was given to Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    The three new ones he had found, Li Yuan didn¡¯t plan to hand over to the Seven Stars Treasury; instead, he was preparing to study them himself and perhaps make some discoveries.


    ¡°With the three great brood nests destroyed, the Cloud Beast Civilization can no longer nurture large numbers of exotic beasts.¡±


    ¡°And my Seven Star Civilization army will be able to infiltrate deeper into the Rob Sea Star Realm, even taking over the entire Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan silently said: ¡°From now on, the Rob Sea Star Realm will no longer be Xia Country¡¯s meat grinder.¡±


    Li Yuan agreed with some of Dongfang Ji¡¯s views¡ªthat some Star Realms should be preserved as training grounds for the future generations of First and Second Rank martial artists.


    However, Star Realms like the Rob Sea Star Realm must be eradicated.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan took a deep breath and immediately transmitted the news back via his smart ring: ¡°Senior Bai Shan, all brood nests have been utterly destroyed, even the obstructing Flying Heaven exotic beasts have been slain, mission accomplished!¡±


    This simple sentence already said a lot.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Come back soon, don¡¯t linger in the Star Realm; leave the rest to us,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine replied.


    ¡­


    Deep within the Rob Sea Star Realm, inside a cavern.


    ¡°Are they all dead?¡±


    ¡°All three brood nests, not a single one left?¡± The black exotic beast ¡®Elden¡¯ muttered to himself: ¡°Those new fools, actually thought they could use the brood nests to resist?¡±


    ¡°Fortunately!¡±


    ¡°Lucky I¡¯ve been hiding, not heeding the foolish commands of Wudong Xue,¡± Elden reflected in secret.


    Since the last battle of Rob Sea.


    For these years, Elden had been hiding, hardly ever showing his face.


    Even the Seven Star Civilization was unaware of his existence.


    ¡°To live, is to last,¡± Elden¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly: ¡°Next, let¡¯s see how things go.¡±


    ¡°If the Seven Star Civilization sets up a breeding area in the Rob Sea Star Realm, and Wudong Xue and the others show no activity¡­ once that Spirit Gun reaches Flying Heaven Level, I¡¯ll submit to the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    As long as he submits, the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t go as far as to kill him.


    Moreover, once the Spirit Gun advances, unable to enter the Second Level Star Realm, the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t have the assurance to kill a Flying Heaven Middle Stage expert within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Outside the Rob Sea Star Realm, amid the swirling sands, stood several War Fortresses.


    Within one of the gigantic warships.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors were anxiously waiting for news; they were the high-level commanders on the front lines of the Rob Sea Star Realm battlefield.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°We won! We won,¡± a Flying Heaven Warrior murmured, his voice filled with excitement: ¡°The Sky Combat Aircraft has sent a scouting report, all three brood nests have been completely destroyed, Spirit Gun has achieved a total victory! A total victory!¡±


    ¡°From today on.¡±


    ¡°Our million-strong army along the Rob Sea Star Realm border will become history, we no longer need to assemble such forces to defend here,¡± said the excited Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°We won.¡±


    ¡°We finally won.¡± Other Flying Heaven Warriors, although they had expected it, could not help but become excited in the moment.


    They had been waiting for this day for so long.


    Over the years, every major battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm represented a huge number of casualties.


    ¡°We won? Spirit Gun also killed three Flying Heaven Alien Race experts?¡± Lin Yue, one of the highest commanders, inwardly sighed as he exchanged glances with a few other Flying Heaven Warriors.


    They were all aware of Spirit Gun¡¯s true identity.


    Because they knew, they were all the more astonished.


    ¡°Where is Spirit Gun? When will he come out?¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior could not help but ask: ¡°I want to thank him in person.¡±


    The other Flying Heaven Warriors also looked on curiously.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to inquire.¡±


    ¡°The whereabouts and messages of Spirit Gun are one of civilization¡¯s topmost secrets,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s gaze swept over the crowd: ¡°Don¡¯t look at me¡ªI don¡¯t know either, and even if I did, I couldn¡¯t tell.¡±

 Chapter 624 - 347: Destruction of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_4

    Chapter 624: Chapter 347: Destruction of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_4


    ¡°You¡¯d better not try to track him either,¡± Lin Yue shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Otherwise, when the investigation traces back to you, don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you.¡±


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s such a rare genius that we can¡¯t even make his acquaintance,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors also knew the importance of discretion.


    But they were full of gratitude and extreme admiration for this mysterious ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.


    ¡­


    Huh!


    ...


    Li Yuan had already passed through the spatial ripples of the Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯s entrance and exit and returned to Blue Star.


    Suppressing his aura and appearance, he silently entered another, empty Fourth Rank Battleship in the high sky.


    ¡°Senior Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly.


    Between the Seven Star Civilizations and the Seven Great Planets, all the ¡®Interior Dimensional Star Realms¡¯ are only Third Level Star Realms, which demi-gods cannot pass through.


    Therefore, demi-gods must traverse the starry sky, spending lengthy years to reach other planets.


    Therefore, when Li Yuan went to different planets to sweep through them, he was protected by different demi-gods.


    Coming to Blue Star, naturally, it was Bai Shan Semi-Divine who was tasked with his close protection.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this time, I have to thank you on behalf of the entire Xia Country,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine, dressed in casual clothing and sincerely moved.


    Admiration filled his eyes.


    Not long ago, when he learned that Li Yuan had a ¡®Semi-Divine Level Soul,¡¯ he was also shocked.


    Too fast.


    Li Yuan¡¯s growth was so rapid that it left him somewhat disoriented.


    ¡°Senior jests,¡± Li Yuan said seriously. ¡°I am also a member of Xia Country. It is my wish to eradicate this cancer.¡±


    ¡°You have not only eradicated a cancer for our Xia Country! You¡¯ve also made contributions to the entire civilization,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine. ¡°How many Second Level Star Realms have you eradicated up to now?¡±


    ¡°More than forty.¡±


    Li Yuan responded, ¡°The list of targets was set by the Alliance Hierarch. There are still three star realms remaining that haven¡¯t been swept clean, and there¡¯s only the last target on Blue Star, the ¡®Flame Surge Star Realm¡¯.¡±


    Just a few short days.


    Li Yuan had swept clean more than half of the 47 star realm targets on the list.


    Of course, the more he progressed, the harder the cleaning became, and those foreign Flying Heaven experts were very cunning.


    ¡°Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded. ¡°This star realm is rich in resources. Although much of it is occupied by the Myriad Demons Civilization, we¡¯ve also been secretly investigating. Their Flying Heaven Peak experts probably number only two or three, which shouldn¡¯t pose a threat to you.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Two or three? Even if there were ten Flying Heaven Peak experts, or even if among them there were those at the 36th level, in fact, he could fight them himself.


    ¡°My only concern is that their Flying Heaven Warriors have already scattered throughout the star realm,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°This will make it troublesome for you to pursue and kill them.¡±


    ¡°If we cannot exterminate their living forces, our hope of occupying the Flame Surge Star Realm is nearly a pipe dream,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°I will do my best,¡± said Li Yuan.


    In many star realms, the power of Seven Star Civilization wasn¡¯t considered strong.


    Thus, if Li Yuan couldn¡¯t eliminate enough of the enemy¡¯s living forces, merely destroying the enemy¡¯s war fortresses¡­ the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t be able to gain the upper hand, at most only improving the situation somewhat.


    ¡°Do your best,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine. ¡°Also, be careful. If you encounter a demi-god, you need to flee immediately.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, senior.¡±


    ¡°The star realms I have slaughtered are mostly just Second Rank Life forms, and Flying Heaven Peak forms are very rare,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Demi-gods? The chance for these star realms to give birth to a demi-god is extremely low.¡±


    Demi-gods? Even for highly perceptive human strongmen, who rose from weakness step by step, it¡¯s typical that only one in a thousand aspiring Flying Heavens could become a demi-god.


    Becoming a demi-god could never be that easy.


    Logically, the Flame Surge Star Realm shouldn¡¯t have a demi-god¡­ otherwise, Dongfang Ji wouldn¡¯t have sent Li Yuan to annihilate it.


    ¡­


    The Fourth Rank Battleship moved at incredible speeds.


    Soon after, Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine had arrived at the entrance to the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    Quickly,


    Li Yuan entered the Flame Surge Star Realm alone once again.


    This was a rather vast Star Realm, the sky dominated by a scorching sun, radiating blinding light.


    ¡°So hot!¡±


    ¡°The air temperature here could probably dehydrate and kill an ordinary person in an extremely short amount of time,¡± Li Yuan, standing on thin air, felt the environmental energy of Heaven and Earth around him.


    The environment here was inhospitable and not very suitable for ordinary people to thrive.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°The mineral resources of the entire Flame Surge Star Realm are indeed rich, spanning forty thousand kilometers; who knows how many treasures are hidden. If they could be captured and mined, it would also benefit the entire civilization.¡± Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, quickly heading for the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s ¡®Main Base¡¯.


    Civilizations usually established their main bases at the Star Realm¡¯s entrance, high above.


    For convenience in retreating and support.


    As with the dozens of actions in the past, Li Yuan, ¡®following the map¡¯, quickly arrived at the Myriad Demons Civilization Main Base.


    This was a colossal base built between valleys.


    Apart from Li Yuan, hundreds of miles away in the high sky, a huge warship lingered, belonging to the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization in the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    More than ten Flying Heaven Warriors, all filled with anticipation, were also aware of the feats of the Spirit Gun.


    Just as Li Yuan was about to approach the enemy¡¯s main base,


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed slightly. His soul was so powerful that it could be called Semi-Divine Peak level, and he was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth around him.


    In that instant just now,


    Li Yuan faintly sensed that, in that massive city among the distant mountains, there seemed to be a terrifying force hidden.


    This caused Li Yuan to stop, hesitating somewhat.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted. Even though he was over a hundred kilometers away, he could see clearly that in the valley outside the colossal main base, the earth suddenly ripped apart.


    A giant creature, its body seemingly flowing with magma, burst forth from the torn earth.


    ¡°Semi-Divine?¡±

    ¡°Semi-Divine?¡±

 Chapter 625 - 348: All Means Exhausted

    Chapter 625: Chapter 348: All Means Exhausted


    The other party guessed his real identity with a single glance. Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too surprised; he never expected to keep masquerading as the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± indefinitely.


    A demigod, with the power of a Semi-Divine Level soul, could see through the Phantom Spirit Garment and sense the true soul aura and appearance of the other.


    And in the entire Seven Star Civilization, there were not many Martial Artists as formidable as that.


    Exposed? That wasn¡¯t very important.


    The key was to stay alive and escape.


    Swoosh! As Li Yuan made a lightning-fast retreat, he triggered his messaging technique and immediately sent an urgent message to Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Lant Semi-Divine, Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, and others: ¡°Urgent situation, Flame Surge Star Realm, Alien Race Semi-Divine! Alien Race Semi-Divine!¡±


    ...


    Almost at the same time,


    Li Yuan had sent a message to Gu You and also soul communicated with Liu Bing.


    Of course, even without Li Yuan¡¯s messages, whether it was Gu You, Liu Bing, or Qiu Bingzun, they had already sensed the presence of that terrifyingly intense Semi-Divine existence outside.


    ¡°Thinking of escaping?¡±


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going!¡± The Ruins Flame Semi-Divine, with his massive body and hooves stepping over the void, focused his cold eyes on Li Yuan, who was hundreds of kilometers away, and had already turned into a bolt of lightning, roaring as he charged towards Li Yuan.


    His heart was also filled with shock.


    ¡°Is it really Li Yuan, the one prewarned by father¡¯s intelligence? Spirit Gun, is it actually him? According to the report, Li Yuan is only twenty-five years old,¡± the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine thought secretly: ¡°A human, twenty-five years old, able to reach this stage?¡±


    Indeed, he usually lay dormant, living within the Flame Surge Star Realm and having no natural enemies, so his experiences and mindset were quite ordinary.


    But after all, he was more than two hundred years old, and coupled with the operation of a Semi-Divine Level soul, he immediately understood how terrifying a genius this was.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    ¡°Such an unparalleled genius is the biggest obstacle on my father¡¯s path! He must be killed,¡± thought the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine with intensified murderous intent.


    As he pursued, he too passed on the information to the Eastern Demon Deity.


    Boom!


    The Ruins Flame Semi-Divine moved at an astonishing speed, covering the distance with a single leap, surpassing the Flying Heaven Warrior with breathtaking Burst Speed as he rapidly closed in on Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A demigod? There¡¯s actually an Alien Race Semi-Divine?!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is fleeing! The Alien Race Semi-Divine is in pursuit.¡± Hundreds of kilometers away on a Fourth Rank Battleship, several Flying Heaven Warriors gazed at the scene projected on the screen, utterly dumbfounded.


    Because they were so far away, they did not hear the voice of the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine, nor did they know that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    But, they had received the message from Spirit Gun, and judging by the Burst Speed of that Flame Exotic Beast, they too could make the connection.


    ¡°The flight speed of Spirit Gun is 2396 meters per second.¡±


    ¡°The flight speed of the Alien Race Semi-Divine has reached¡­ 7449 meters per second!!¡±


    ¡°In one second, he could fly nearly 8 kilometers!! This!¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors all trembled inside.


    Just as Prime Warriors generally could only run while Flying Heaven Warriors could fly and escape swiftly, there was a fundamental difference in speed.


    The same was true for demigods.


    Ruins Flame Semi-Divine, being one of the weaker among the demigods, nonetheless had a transformed body and Semi-Divine Origin Power, which fundamentally far surpassed any Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ reaching ten times the speed of sound was extremely difficult for them.


    For someone like Spirit Gun, a Martial Artist, reaching seven times the speed of sound was already remarkable. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But the flying speed of demigods could easily exceed twenty times the speed of sound.


    ¡°If this goes on, in just over twenty seconds, Spirit Gun will be caught,¡± thought these Flying Heaven Warriors with their hearts in their throats.


    Spirit Gun and the Alien Race Semi-Divine were only a hundred kilometers apart.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Look quickly! Below Spirit Gun¡¯s feet.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Flying Serpent, such a beautiful Green Snake, I¡¯ve never seen such a beautiful Flying Serpent before, where did it come from?¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors watched, puzzled to themselves.


    ¡°Such a fast speed, this! The speed soared suddenly, 3567 meters per second, 4678 meters per second, 5876 meters per second¡­ Carrying Li Yuan, the Flying Serpent reached 7022 meters per second.¡±


    ¡°The monitors show that the Flying Serpent is only a Second Rank Life,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors on the battleship were completely flabbergasted.


    A Second Rank Life with a flight speed that could surpass twenty times the speed of sound?


    What kind of serpent was this?


    ¡­


    On Blue Star, above an inconspicuous War Fortress in Europa Continent.


    Inside the warship.


    ¡°Hmm? An Alien Race Semi-Divine? How can there be a demigod in the Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s heart quivered.


    He was responsible for Li Yuan¡¯s protection and naturally waited inside the warship for news from Li Yuan.


    Therefore, he was the first to receive Li Yuan¡¯s message, followed by the real-time video message transmitted back from the Star Realm¡¯s warship.


    ¡°A Second Rank Flying Serpent with a flight speed surpassing twenty times the speed of sound? Assisting Li Yuan? Where did it come from?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine was stunned.


    Just then.


    Buzz~Buzz~ Light converged rapidly, forming two Phantoms in the hall, each exuding a significant aura.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, Lant,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked towards the two.


    The visitors were none other than Dongfang Ji and Lant Semi-Divine.


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Lant Semi-Divine asked anxiously, ¡°How can there be an Alien Race Semi-Divine in the Flame Surge Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure, see for yourselves,¡± sighed Bai Shan Semi-Divine as he waved his hand.


    The holographic screen projection condensed, revealing the scene detected by the warship, as Dongfang Ji and Lant Semi-Divine immediately looked over.


    ¡°A Flying Serpent? So fast? Is it a Third Rank Flying Serpent?¡± Lant Semi-Divine displayed a shock.


    The data was clearly detailed in the projection.


    ¡°No, according to the detection, it¡¯s only a Second Rank Life,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine in a deep voice: ¡°According to my Seven Star Civilization¡¯s database, this Flying Serpent should be the fastest Second Rank Life ever discovered in our civilization¡¯s history.¡±


    ¡°I have no idea how this Flying Serpent achieved it,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Heaven Snake!¡± Dongfang Ji suddenly said: ¡°A Divine Beast of legend, ranked alongside the True Phoenix and Divine Dragon in the Divine Realm, bearing a resounding reputation, capable of Ascending to God once it reaches maturity.¡±

    Chapter 626: Chapter 348: All Means Exhausted_2


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Divine Beast?¡± Both Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were startled.


    This touched on something they knew little about.


    ¡°This Heaven Snake must be what Li Yuan acquired from the Mingxu Star Realm, and it must be his Spirit Beast,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°With the help of the Heaven Snake, Li Yuan might be able to escape.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a contingency plan?¡± Lant Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Before the operation began, I had inquired with Li Yuan, and he said that even when facing a demigod, he had the assurance of preserving his life¡­ that¡¯s why I allowed him to join the battle,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly, ¡°I believe in him.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Furthermore,¡±


    ¡°The Star Realms I have selected are all under a great deal of control¡­ but we cannot foresee all circumstances,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°With rewards come risks.¡±


    ¡°There is no such thing as only reaping benefits in this world.¡±


    ¡°In the Second Level Star Realm, we cannot intervene,¡± Dongfang Ji said gravely, ¡°Now, we can only observe Li Yuan himself.¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine exchanged looks, filled with worry.


    Prime Warrior, to escape with his life from the hands of a demigod?


    How difficult that might be!


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Wan Mo Star, inside a magnificent and imposing temple.


    ¡°What? Spirit Gun is Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is Li Yuan!¡± The East Demon Deity received this news and was also slightly shocked.


    He was eager to kill the Spirit Gun.


    He also knew the name Li Yuan, a supremely young genius from the Seven Star Civilization.


    In fact, considering the rate of progression in strength of the Spirit Gun, he had guessed that the other party might very well be a young genius.


    However, when Ruins Flame Semi-Divine communicated confirming that Spirit Gun was under thirty, plus the use of a gun, his understanding of the True Meaning of Earth¡­ all these aspects essentially confirmed one thing¡ªSpirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is it really Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°This!!¡± For a moment, the East Demon Deity was unsure whether he should be relieved that the original two potential threats were now one or if it meant a formidable enemy had emerged.


    Spirit Gun at fifty years old.


    The difference between this and a twenty-five-year-old Spirit Gun was simply too great. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The former might be due to the accumulation of time, becoming extremely powerful, but the latter, that would purely be a result of terrifying talent.


    ¡°He must be killed.¡±


    ¡°At all costs, he must be killed!¡± The East Demon Deity immediately issued a death order to Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    But soon.


    ¡°An astonishingly fast Flying Serpent? Unable to catch up in a short time?¡± The East Demon Deity received another message from Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    He was somewhat astonished, ¡°A Flying Serpent with a flying speed exceeding twenty times the speed of sound? Where did this monster come from?¡±


    For an instant.


    The East Demon Deity suddenly remembered information from the Mystic Demons Star Realm, before Tennessee¡¯s fall, which seemed to have involved a surprise attack by a serpent.


    ¡°Such terrifying speed.¡±


    ¡°The other aspects must be no less formidable,¡± the East Demon Deity thought uneasily, ¡°Ruins Flame, can you manage to kill him?¡±


    At this point, the East Demon Deity had no other choice.


    He could only wait.


    ¡­


    In the Flame Surge Star Realm, ten thousand meters in the air, a gale howled, with not a cloud in sight.


    Boom! Boom!


    A huge figure, with a body that seemed like an incarnation of flames, streaked across the Vast Sky like a Fallen Star, frantically pursuing, its eyes full of killing intent, ¡°Kill! Kill! The enemy of my father, kill them all!¡±


    Then, at the end of the void.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± The slender and beautiful blue Flying Serpent, with wings seemingly cutting through the void, carrying Li Yuan, broke through the limit time after time, madly fleeing.


    ¡°So fast!¡± Li Yuan, lying on Liu Bing¡¯s back, felt a surge of blue air currents swirling around, merging him and the beast into one, his heart pounding.


    With comparison, Li Yuan understood Liu Bing¡¯s terror.


    A demigod powerhouse!


    Perhaps the other party was not adept at flight speed, but being a demigod after all¡­ it was only slightly better than Second Rank Liu Bing.


    This was enough to prove how extraordinary Liu Bing¡¯s flight speed was.


    ¡°However, after this battle, I¡¯m afraid all forces will be aware of Xiao Bing¡¯s existence,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°However, if everything goes according to plan, I will soon be at the Flying Heaven Level, and will not be afraid of covetous eyes.¡±


    Liu Bing was the ace in the hole, not to be openly exposed until a life or death moment.


    But now, it was such a moment.


    ¡°Big brother, I have given my all,¡± came Liu Bing¡¯s voice in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°but we are still slower, and the demigod will catch us in approximately 312 seconds.¡±


    The distance between the two sides shortened by several hundred meters every second.


    ¡°Keep running.¡±


    ¡°The entrance to the Star Realm is less than three thousand kilometers from here,¡± Li Yuan communicated, ¡°As long as we burst through the Star Realm entrance, we will be safe.¡±


    ¡°In a necessary moment, we must fight with all we have.¡±


    ¡°If we are really driven to a desperate situation, we can hide in the Cave Heaven Treasure,¡± Li Yuan reassured Liu Bing.


    Hiding in the Cave Heaven Treasure was the last step.


    Once hidden, with the Demigod¡¯s powerful soul power to inquire in all directions, they might sense the existence of the Cave Heaven Treasure¡­ there might be nothing the other party could do.


    Boom! Boom!


    One chasing, one escaping, they both crossed the ten thousand meters in the air, pushing their speeds to the limit.


    ¡°What impressive speed.¡±


    ¡°What a mysterious Flying Serpent,¡± Ruins Flame Semi-Divine watched intently, ¡°If it were Third Rank, simply increasing the base would send the speed skyrocketing¡­ then I definitely couldn¡¯t match up.¡±


    ¡°But being only Second Rank, it¡¯s ultimately not as good as me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll catch up, likely in about five minutes,¡± Ruins Flame Semi-Divine estimated inwardly, ¡°That¡¯s enough time.¡±


    Five minutes.


    With the Flying Serpent¡¯s speed, it could cover roughly two thousand kilometers¡­ still far from the Star Realm entrance.


    Seconds ticked by anxiously.


    In a flash, more than two hundred seconds passed, and the two had crossed unknown mountains and rivers.


    Thankfully, they were both flying high.


    If they were to travel along the ground, they would likely have triggered a terrifying disaster.


    Such was the power of a Demigod!


    A major battle spanning thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers was just the norm.

 Chapter 627 - 348: All Means Exhausted_3

    Chapter 627: Chapter 348: All Means Exhausted_3


    Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s strength were both below that of a Demigod.


    But at least, Liu Bing had nearly reached Demigod speed.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod relentlessly pursued them, now only a little more than ten kilometers from Li Yuan and Liu Bing.


    From such a distance, a soul attack was still out of reach, but a material attack was sufficient.


    ¡°Condense!¡±


    The Ruins Flame Demigod let out a low roar, and his body suddenly burst into flames. A massive amount of fire converged, forming a special pattern on his body¡¯s surface.


    ...


    Hiss hiss hiss~


    Countless fire powers followed the special patterns, eventually converging on the Demigod¡¯s head, gathering into a large orb of light atop his single horn.


    At that moment, the Ruins Flame Demigod resembled a god of flames, his might overwhelming.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    The Ruins Flame Demigod watched Li Yuan and Liu Bing still fleeing through the void and with a thought¡ª


    ¡°Boom!¡± The giant ball of fire burst forth, shooting across the vast sky, hurtling towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°I can¡¯t catch up with you.¡±


    ¡°But can my Demigod-level Origin Power not catch up with you either?¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod was filled with murderous intent.


    An attack formed by Demigod-level Origin Power drawing on the Power of Heaven and Earth was much faster than the speed of bodily flight.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± The ball of fire howled as it approached.


    The whole world seemed to grow blindingly bright.


    Liu Bing summoned the Mysteries of the Wind to create the ¡°Domain of Wind,¡± a veil of blue currents covering a kilometer radius that was instantly obliterated before the fireball.


    It was unstoppable.


    This was the power of Demigod-level Origin Power!


    Even if Liu Bing¡¯s Law Comprehension was higher, her foundation was too weak. In the face of absolute strength, she still appeared frail.


    The might of this force sent shivers down Li Yuan¡¯s spine.


    Li Yuan knew if they did nothing and let the giant orb hit them, they would likely be annihilated on the spot.


    ¡°Xiao Bing! Team up as planned!¡± Li Yuan transmitted, ¡°Go all out!!¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan stood on Liu Bing¡¯s back, his body suddenly enlarging to five meters tall, clutching the Black Chen Spear, pouring Origin Power into it.


    Immediately after, with a shake of the spear, he invoked the Mysteries of True Intent for both Earth and Wind, directing the Black Chen Spear to unleash a dazzling spear light, thrusting straight out.


    ¡°Sky Splitter!!¡±


    Liu Bing¡¯s massive body shrunk drastically as well, from over thirty meters long to just a little more than ten meters, and a claw lashed out fiercely. This claw seemed to stir the Wind Law between heaven and earth, as if to tear the cosmos apart, creating a terrifying claw light.


    One spear! One claw!


    Both attacks jointly bombarded the incoming fireball.


    ¡°Peng!!!¡±


    They collided instantly, like a nuclear explosion, releasing a horrific shockwave that swept in all directions, sure to cover hundreds of kilometers.


    Liu Bing and Li Yuan¡¯s bodies were sent flying backward, before immediately using the momentum to retreat furiously.


    ¡°Hu!¡±


    Liu Bing¡¯s claw hooked on to Li Yuan¡¯s Combat Armor, maintaining speed without slowing, as they continued to flee desperately.


    The shockwave blasted onto the Ruins Flame Demigod, having no significant effect on her.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°My Demigod-level Origin Power, couldn¡¯t annihilate them in a head-on assault? It seems they aren¡¯t even injured.¡± The complexion of the Ruins Flame Demigod changed, ¡°This is troublesome.¡±


    Long-range attacks ineffective!


    That left only close combat.


    Hu!


    The Ruins Flame Demigod hesitated but for a moment, and then was once more howling as she chased after Li Yuan and the others.


    ¡­¡±Big brother, this Demigod is weaker than we expected,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°He should only be level 40 and seems he hasn¡¯t crossed the Threshold of the Law with his comprehension.¡±


    ¡°If he had crossed into the Threshold of the Law, fusing Demigod Origin Power with the Mysteries of the Law¡­ that strike just now would have left us dead or severely injured,¡± Liu Bing said, ¡°But his ranged attacks, while stronger than our combined effort, are only slightly more powerful.¡±


    ¡°They are not strong enough.¡± Li Yuan responded, also breathing a sigh of relief.


    This member of the Alien Race who was a Demigod wasn¡¯t so terrifying and amongst the Demigods should be considered weak.


    But Li Yuan understood.


    Even weak, that was still the level of a Demigod.


    Unless using some special Star Technique, remote attacks by a super-powerful being are generally the weakest method¡­ after all, long-range Origin Power attacks don¡¯t contain the explosive power of Star Techniques nor the strength of the physical body.


    And Li Yuan knew.


    Like just now, they were able to withstand mostly due to Liu Bing¡­ She had crossed into the Threshold of the Wind Law, and the might of her Claw Technique was far greater than his own integrated Spear Technique.


    The innate potential and growth rate of a top-tier Divine Beast from the Divine Realm are extremely terrifying.


    Daring to venture into the Star Realm, they had a certain assurance they could escape unscathed even when faced with a Demigod¡­ Liu Bing was one of Li Yuan¡¯s sources of confidence.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod pursued Li Yuan with all his might, attempting long-range attacks to kill him time and again.


    But they were all blocked by Li Yuan and Liu Bing joining forces.


    Both sides were chasing and fleeing at their fastest speeds, until finally, the Ruins Flame Demigod closed in completely.


    Now only less than a kilometer separated them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, no matter how much you struggle, you will still die,¡± the Ruins Flame Demigod fixated on Li Yuan atop the Flying Serpent. ¡°It¡¯s true that you are a terrifying Second Rank Life, and so is the Flying Serpent beneath your feet¡­ but no matter how strong you both are, once I engage in close combat, you¡¯re both dead.¡±


    Boom!


    The Ruins Flame Demigod suddenly raised his hoof, a fearsome flame power condensing, and he was about to stomp down viciously.


    This hoof would definitely be the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s strongest attack method.


    ¡°I¡¯m the one who should die?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who should die!!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold as a black crystal stone suddenly materialized in the palm of his hand.


    It was the very life-saving object that Gu You gave to Li Yuan years ago, said to be capable of killing any strong being below the Demigod level.


    With a pop, Li Yuan directly crushed it.


    Suddenly, countless powers like mist instantly converged into Li Yuan¡¯s palm, immediately condensing into a terrifying black saber, emanating a destructive aura.


    However, it was only the blade, incredibly sharp.


    Whoosh!


    The black saber instantly met the falling hoof and slashed out fiercely.


    ¡°What is this?¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    Destruction!


    This seemingly inconspicuous black combat saber gave him a feeling of heaven and earth being destroyed, as if he would be completely annihilated by this single slash¡­ It was definitely a terrifying strike.


    ¡°Secret treasure!¡±


    ¡°This is the Law Treasure that even True Gods can create,¡± the Ruins Flame Demigod realized, with some panic in his heart.


    Almost simultaneously.


    ¡°Hum~¡± An invisible soul power instantly invaded the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s mind, enveloping his soul.


    The Soul Secret Technique¡ª¡±Mind Soul¡±!


    Within a five-kilometer range of oneself, one could enact a Soul Secret Technique. However, Li Yuan had been holding back, waiting until now.


    To annihilate a Semi-Divine Level Soul? Absolutely impossible!


    Therefore, the suddenness of a soul attack was most crucial, and the first attempt was often the most effective.


    Without a sound.


    ¡°Me?¡± A flicker of bewilderment flashed in the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me? No good! It¡¯s a soul attack.¡±


    He realized he was under attack, tried to struggle, hoping to regain consciousness.


    But he couldn¡¯t succeed right away.


    ¡°This Demigod¡¯s will is so weak? I¡¯m afraid he hasn¡¯t reached the Semi-Divine level yet.¡± Li Yuan was also surprised, not expecting the Soul Secret Technique to be so effective.


    Logically, soul attacks among the same level of beings should be weak.


    Whoosh!


    The black saber had already struck the giant hoof that was falling.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    A terrible collision ensued, with the might contained in the black saber instantly sending the Ruins Flame Demigod, whose consciousness hadn¡¯t fully returned, flying backward.


    Blood streamed from the hoof.


    This strike caused the Ruins Flame Demigod to be injured.


    The black saber itself burst apart, and then it condensed again¡­ As a Secret Treasure, as long as the power contained within it wasn¡¯t exhausted, it wouldn¡¯t disappear completely.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The black saber whistled again, once more sending the Ruins Flame Demigod flying backwards.


    This time, it struck the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s head.


    This strike actually created an almost three-meter-long terrifying wound on his head, deep enough to see bone.


    Only then did the power within the black saber finally exhaust itself.


    Three seconds later.


    The Ruins Flame Demigod fully regained consciousness, letting out an enraged roar: ¡°Damn it! The damned bastard!¡±


    He had never suffered such a loss in all the years since he was a child.


    However, the Ruins Flame Demigod also felt recurring fear¡­ That strange soul attack, combined with that Law Treasure, had almost directly slain him. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Was I actually at the risk of death?¡±


    ¡°Do I really need to risk everything?¡± murmured the Ruins Flame Demigod to himself. Although he wanted to repay his father¡¯s kindness,


    the premise was that his own safety was ensured.


    Swoosh! By this time, Li Yuan and Liu Bing had widened their distance to over thirty kilometers once again.


    Boom!


    The Ruins Flame Demigod hesitated only for a moment before continuing the pursuit, but after this encounter, he was unable to catch up again.

    Chapter 628: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain


    In the Flame Surge Star Realm, the Myriad Demons Civilization held absolute dominance, well aware of the many powers of Seven Star Civilization within the Star Realm.


    Such as a Fourth Rank Battleship that could monitor areas thousands of kilometers away, including the combat scene between Li Yuan and the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    In fact, the Myriad Demons Civilization could likewise track the movement of this Fourth Rank Battleship.


    Not to mention the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine himself had remarkable vision, seeing thousands of kilometers away was usual for him.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The Ruins Flame Semi-Divine directly charged toward that War Fortress¡­ In the past, without his father¡¯s command, he¡¯d been too lazy to deal with the clash between the two major civilizations within the Star Realm.


    ...


    After all, the most precious resources of the entire Star Realm were already in his hands.


    Now, he was filled with fury.


    Chasing down a Second Rank Life, only to let the target escape, was undoubtedly a huge disgrace.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan and Liu Bing burst out of the Star Realm Passage and were already back on Blue Star.


    The familiar scent of home hit them, bringing waves of comfort to Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    ¡°We¡¯re back, it¡¯s safe now,¡± Li Yuan thought with relief.


    Facing a chase from a Demigod was utterly terrifying.


    Even the weakest attack from Origin Power could have killed him in the rampant assault if he were alone.


    It was only with Liu Bing¡¯s interference, and their combined efforts, that they barely managed to endure.


    However, in reality, repeatedly blocking had inflicted significant damage on both Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s bodies, necessitating time for recovery.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is back.¡±


    ¡°To think he could survive a Demigod¡¯s clutches,¡± outside the Star Realm Passage was a spacious hall of the War Fortress, where dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors had gathered, staring in shock at the emerging Li Yuan and Liu Bing.


    Just a few minutes ago, many Flying Heaven Warriors weren¡¯t in the War Fortress; they had all rushed over upon receiving the news.


    The Flying Heaven Warriors were familiar with the Spirit Gun.


    The news had spread these past few days.


    But today, they were still astonished by the power Spirit Gun demonstrated, after all, sweeping across numerous Second Level Star Realms and escaping the hands of a Demigod¡­ these were two different concepts.


    ¡°That Flying Serpent.¡±


    ¡°It is indeed Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°But its flying speed surpasses 20 times the speed of sound, looking at its power, it seems not inferior to Spirit Gun,¡± many Flying Heaven Warriors couldn¡¯t help but look at Liu Bing.


    They were curious about Liu Bing.


    Where did such a powerful Flying Serpent emerge from? It was unheard of in the past.


    Li Yuan felt the curious gazes of many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Liu Bing, enter the Heavenly Snake Hall first,¡± Li Yuan transmitted spiritually, ¡°Without my command, do not come out.¡±


    ¡°Okay, big brother,¡± Liu Bing nodded, her thoughts shifting, and her body instantly disappeared inside the hall.


    ¡°Disappeared?¡±


    ¡°Where did she go?¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors were astonished, most unaware of the existence of a Cave Heaven Treasure.


    Suddenly.


    Boom!


    A powerful aura abruptly emerged, prompting Li Yuan and many Flying Heaven Warriors to involuntarily look up, only to see an elderly man in white casual attire slowly descending from the sky.


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Semi-Divine,¡± over twenty Flying Heaven Warriors present bowed respectfully, most of them were white and a few were black.


    But they all recognized this ancient Demigod from Xia Country.


    ¡°Gentlemen, continue guarding the War Fortress.¡±


    ¡°An Alien Race Semi-Divine is wreaking havoc,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine scanned the surroundings, ¡°Think of a way to carry out rescues, save whoever you can.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the two leading Flying Heaven Peak Experts replied respectfully.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, come with me,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Li Yuan, one after the other, flew along the passage toward the exterior of the War Fortress.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense was communicating with Gu You.


    ¡°Sister, you can¡¯t make a move within the Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°The operation of heaven and earth has its rules, just as a Heavenly Divine cannot descend into the Mortal Domain,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°God Level power, likewise, cannot intervene within the Star Realm.¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°A normal Star Realm can only handle up to Fourth Level.¡±


    ¡°The weaker the Star Realm, the stronger it resists external forces under the operation of its origin¡­ when you were in danger, I tried secretly, but even Semi-Divine Level power was hard to utilize,¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°There¡¯s an invisible force of heavenly and earthly rules suppressing me.¡±


    Li Yuan came to an understanding.


    When he was being chased by the Alien Race Semi-Divine, he had secretly messaged Gu You, but she couldn¡¯t directly come to the rescue in time.


    ¡°Just like when I was trapped in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, do you think I didn¡¯t want to escape on my own?¡± Gu You shook her head and said, ¡°No way, the origin of the Star Realm bound me¡­ it was only after recognizing you as the master, and since there were no real creatures left in the Ancient Divine Palace, that you could carry it away.¡±


    ¡°But just now, if you had died, the power of the Ancient Divine Palace would have been suppressed by the invisible rules again, unable to break free.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    When he was being chased, Gu You¡¯s advice was to hide in the Ancient Divine Palace and stall for time.


    Normally, a Demigod couldn¡¯t shake the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ but accidents could happen.


    Therefore, unless it was a last resort, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t hide.


    ¡°Fortunately, you escaped,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°This crisis is also a warning for you, never underestimate any opponent.¡±


    ¡°I was also trusting the judgment of the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°After all, sweeping over forty Star Realms before, nothing unexpected had happened.¡±


    ¡°Not even a Heavenly Divine can be without oversight, let alone a Dongfang Ji?¡± Gu You said, ¡°Remember this, all strong beings die from overconfidence.¡±


    ¡°When you consider yourself invincible, you¡¯re often not far from failure,¡± Gu You added.

    Chapter 629: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_2


    Mighty ones die from overconfidence? Li Yuan pondered that saying in his heart.


    ¡°Quickly become stronger.¡±


    ¡°Without attaining the Flying Heaven Level, don¡¯t take any more risks. The enemies you¡¯re about to face present too great a threat to you.¡±


    ¡°Wait until you reach the Flying Heaven Level, when you¡¯re stronger, then you can face most of the storms in the Mortal Domain without fear.¡± Gu You said, ¡°By that time, if you pass through the third trial left by your father, I shall also be able to take out other Secret Treasures according to the rules he left behind.¡±


    ¡°Secret Treasures? Like that Black Crystal Stone?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Roughly, but the higher the level of the trial, the stronger the might of the Secret Treasures.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Even Semi-Divine Peak Experts can be killed.¡± Gu You said, ¡°Such Secret Treasures are generally only crafted by True Gods, so they¡¯re very rare in your Mortal Domain¡­ but the more powerful the Secret Treasure, the more demanding it is for the user; with your current level of strength, you¡¯re unable to wield their true might.¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for our father to craft those Secret Treasures either. Therefore, unless you meet the requirements, it¡¯s impossible to bestow them to you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Just like a child operating some machinery, if they lack the strength, they might end up injuring themselves.


    Moreover, while Gu You held considerable autonomy, he also trusted himself.


    But, ultimately, he must adhere to the basic commands of the Ancient Torch Divine.


    Without Ascending to Godhood, without passing through the fifth trial, it was impossible to perfectly control the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level?¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°I hope this third Spiritual Guidance doesn¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall,


    ¡°Brother, the situation just now wasn¡¯t as urgent as you thought.¡± Liu Bing said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense incarnation, ¡°In fact, when you deployed that Secret Treasure earlier, I calculated I could escape safely, hence I didn¡¯t use mine.¡±


    ¡°You have a similar Secret Treasure?¡± Li Yuan was first startled, then shook his head and chuckled, ¡°Right, Elder Qiu must¡¯ve left some behind.¡± S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    When it comes to strength and wealth,


    Elder Qiu Bingzun is even stronger than the Ancient Torch Divine¡­ When it comes to treasure accumulation, Liu Bing would only have more than him.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that, I currently only have two such Secret Treasures.¡±


    ¡°Before I become a True God, Elder Qiu won¡¯t give me more treasures,¡± Liu Bing said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Each of these two great Secret Treasures, once deployed, has boundless might. Just using them to kill the weakest Semi-Divine would be too wasteful.¡±


    Liu Bing shook her head and said, ¡°These are for preserving life¡­ Even if killing this Semi-Divine, it wouldn¡¯t help us much, so I didn¡¯t use them.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Each person¡¯s perspective is different.


    For Liu Bing, even if the Seven Star Civilization were destroyed, as long as the two of them were safe, she probably wouldn¡¯t care¡­ She would only use the Secret Treasures if it threatened her or her own life.


    Therefore, Liu Bing not revealing her trump card while being pursued by that Alien Race Semi-Divine was quite normal.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± a deep voice sounded, and whoosh~ beams of light converged to form the Phantom of Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°Elder,¡± Li Yuan greeted.


    ¡°This battle, you truly exposed Liu Bing¡¯s existence,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°I¡¯ve already had Liu Bing undergo a certain disguise; they won¡¯t recognize her as the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, but her strength can¡¯t be hidden.¡±


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan, with an implicit meaning.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew tense, ¡°You can count on me, Elder.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, Gu You, and Liu Bing, their exchange was extremely rapid.


    When their conversation ended, Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine returned to the Fourth Rank Battleship in the void.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡±


    ¡°Elder Lant,¡±


    ¡°San Ye Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan immediately saw the three Phantoms inside the battleship and consecutively greeted them.


    ¡°Here you are,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine revealed a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad you¡¯re back safely,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this was my oversight,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s avatar looked at Li Yuan and sighed, ¡°I landed you in a huge crisis; had your strength not been sufficient, I fear it would¡¯ve weighed on my conscience for life.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, this is not your fault,¡± Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly, ¡°For one, sweeping the Second Level Star Realm was my own idea¡­ And secondly, this Alien Race Semi-Divine never leaked any secrets, who could have anticipated it?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, I didn¡¯t see it coming. Even with the high status of Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s hidden forces, we didn¡¯t know in advance about this,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°Looks like, it must be a scheme planned by a Deity of Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Only, I wonder, which one of the three Deities acted,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Three Deities?¡± Li Yuan, San Ye Semi-Divine, and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were all taken aback.


    From what they could access in the civilization database, Myriad Demons Civilization had always been led by two Deities ¡ª East Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity.


    When did the third one appear?


    ¡°Could it be Qiong Jin Deity?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said in shock, ¡°Wasn¡¯t he said to have perished long ago?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him, he didn¡¯t die,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Qiong Jin Deity?¡± Li Yuan became even more puzzled.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Myriad Demons Civilization has a history stretching over more than a hundred thousand years. Over such a long span of time, it has birthed one True God, whose legacy is the greatest foundation of Myriad Demons Civilization. And the Pseudo-Gods that Myriad Demons Civilization has produced are numerous, amounting to dozens,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine explained, ¡°Pseudo-Gods live five thousand years; most Pseudo-Gods have already perished¡­ East Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity are both quite young, neither having lived past two thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue Deity became a Pseudo-God just a few hundred years ago.¡±


    ¡°While Qiong Jin Deity is somewhat older, tallying his age, it should exceed four thousand years¡­ The Mortal Domain¡¯s Starry Sky also has numerous opportunities and treasures worth challenging by Deities¡­ After the emergence of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, even more Deities from the Dimensional Domain attempted their luck, and Deities also fight over treasures and hold grudges against one another.¡±


    ¡°In short, very few Deities live peacefully until the end of their life span,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod in understanding.

 Chapter 630 - 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_3

    Chapter 630: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_3


    Like his master, the ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine,¡± he was nearing the end of his lifespan and made one last attempt in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.


    Other powerhouses were likely to do the same.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe the Qiong Jin Deity is still alive,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a sigh.


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Such a powerful civilization indeed had profound foundations, with a continuous line of divine beings.


    It was indeed difficult to annihilate such a civilization.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan, you no longer need to take risks. The campaign to sweep through the Second Level Star Realm stops here,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Escaping once was lucky. Your secret techniques have been exposed¡­ Moreover, according to your message, that Alien Race Semi-Divine has recognized you as Li Yuan. The news will likely spread quickly.¡±


    ¡°Next time, the Foreign Civilization¡¯s plot against you will only be more terrifying,¡± Dongfang Ji added.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan readily agreed.


    ¡°You have already made great contributions,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at San Ye Semi-Divine, ¡°San Ye, have you calculated Li Yuan¡¯s contributions?¡±


    ¡°I have made a preliminary calculation,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan took action against forty-four star realms.¡±


    ¡°After calculating.¡±


    ¡°A total of 2.7 million Seven Stars Points can be obtained,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said, ¡°This is a conservative estimate. If more treasures are discovered in many star realms, higher rewards will be given.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you satisfied?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    2.7 million Seven Stars Points was no small amount.


    Like the last war in the Ming Xu Star Realm, the reason for earning 3 million Seven Stars Points was because of the Heavenly Serpent Clan¡¯s Civilization Mothership¡­ Just the several Divine Being Inheritances alone were actually worth far more than 3 million Seven Stars Points.


    In fact, conquering these star realms brought a vast amount of resources, most of which were ordinary and utterly useless to Semi-Divines.


    Only the entire civilization could dig out and utilize these resources, maximizing the star realms¡¯ value¡­ If it were just up to Li Yuan alone, most resources would be useless.


    ¡°Last time, to cultivate a Semi-Divine Level Soul, I consumed most of the 3 million points,¡± Li Yuan received the notification for the 2.7 million Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Now, with an additional 2.7 million Seven Stars Points, my Seven Stars Points directly returned to 3.5 million.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan, Lant, later you two will take turns handing over and ensure Li Yuan¡¯s safe return to the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed, ¡°Now, I want to speak with Li Yuan alone.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Several Semi-Divines nodded, and Bai Shan Semi-Divine stepped out of the main hall.


    Lant Semi-Divine and San Ye Semi-Divine dispersed into their ethereal forms.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan looked at Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°You managed to escape from a Semi-Divine¡¯s grasp, and that Heaven Snake is greatly credited for that,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Is that your Spirit Beast? It seems nearly as strong as you, and its flying speed is terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch sees clearly,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    Just now, he wondered why the Alliance Hierarch didn¡¯t inquire about Xiao Bing¡¯s situation, realizing now he was waiting here for it.


    ¡°Had I not been sure you weren¡¯t soul-controlled, I¡¯d have worried you¡¯d become that Heaven Snake¡¯s puppet,¡± Dongfang Ji reminisced, ¡°The Heaven Snake, possessing a strong bloodline, is destined to Ascend to God¡­ And from that Heaven Snake¡¯s aura, it seems to have been recognized by the Plane¡¯s origin, probably related to you.¡±


    Li Yuan was startled, the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s methods were indeed unfathomable, and his sensing ability was so strong?


    ¡°Anyway, this Spirit Beast, if well-used, is a great aid,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°But if not, it can easily become a calamity. You must handle it well, I won¡¯t interfere too much.¡±


    ¡°Within our civilization, perhaps other Semi-Divines might be curious, but with me here, no one will act rashly, you can rest assured of that.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan gratefully said, realizing now he didn¡¯t need to bring out the prepared speech.


    A man without guilt bears the sin of holding jade.


    Himself a Prime Warrior, even though gifted with such a formidable Spirit Beast¡­ While he did not fear the coveting of the Semi-Divines, it would always be somewhat troublesome.


    Moreover, even if not afraid of the other Semi-Divines, what if Dongfang Ji harbored desires for his treasures?


    Towards the Alliance Hierarch, Li Yuan was indeed grateful and admiring.


    Although the other party had never directly and specifically guided his cultivation, the many arrangements behind the scenes¡­ protected his growth along the way.


    ¡°Another matter.¡±


    ¡°Your true identity is now completely exposed,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°The Demon Civilization will definitely not cover for you¡­ They might even push you into the limelight, you should prepare yourself.¡±


    ¡°Into the limelight?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Our Mortal Domain, is not as simple as you think,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°The Demon Civilization is our foremost enemy¡­ But other powerful civilizations might not secretly wish for our destruction.¡±


    ¡°They just never had the chance.¡±


    ¡°Other than the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there are several civilizations in our Mortal Domain nearly as strong as the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    ¡°This time, your deeds might even be more shocking than Fang Hai¡¯s.¡±


    Li Yuan remembered what the Alliance Hierarch had once mentioned. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Seven Star Civilization held the best passage to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ Being coveted was very normal.


    ¡°Previously, I always had Fang Hai stay hidden until he had the strength to slay a Semi-Divine, then he burst forth, this was to keep his skills hidden, not just to avoid the Demon Civilization, but also to avoid other powerful civilizations,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°But you failed to keep hidden, exposing your true identity.¡±


    ¡°So, until you have the strength to rival a Semi-Divine, you must stay in the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°When you can rival a Semi-Divine, you can be ranked among the highest tier of our Seven Star Civilization, and you can return to Blue Star.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with intense resolve.


    Strength to rival a Semi-Divine?


    That would come soon.


    ¡­


    Soon, under the protection of Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Li Yuan quickly headed toward the Third Star Realm.

 Chapter 631 - 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_4

    Chapter 631: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_4


    Passing through the Third Star Realm would reach Feixing.


    And at the other end of Feixing, Lant Semi-Divine was already waiting, all to ensure the full protection of Li Yuan.


    Until he safely arrived at Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Wan Mo Star.


    ¡°We failed.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Qiong Jin, that Ruins Flame Semi-Divine didn¡¯t fight with all his might.¡± East Demon Deity roared angrily, ¡°If he had burned his Divine Elixir and fought with all his strength, there was definitely a hope to kill Li Yuan and his Spirit Beast.¡±


    ¡°East Demon, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?¡± Qiong Jin Deity said with dissatisfaction, ¡°Burning the Divine Elixir means burning the foundation of one¡¯s Ascend to God. How many semi-divines are willing to do that? Ruins Flame just made a move, not a fight to the death.¡±


    ¡°If you want him to risk his life, you haven¡¯t given enough.¡± Qiong Jin Deity shook his head.


    Bei Yue Deity furrowed his brows slightly.


    ¡°The bastard!¡±


    ¡°Qiong Jin.¡± East Demon Deity was completely furious, ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know, most of the treasures I offered ended up in your hands¡­ Since the operation failed, you should return all these treasures to me.¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s your proof?¡± Qiong Jin Deity scoffed, ¡°You want the treasures, go ask Ruins Flame Semi-Divine yourself, I gave him everything.¡±


    ¡°In addition.¡±


    ¡°Let me remind you!¡±


    ¡°I might not be your match on Wan Mo Star, but once we leave Wan Mo Star, it¡¯s still up for debate who is the strongest in Myriad Demons Civilization.¡± Qiong Jin Deity snorted coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to fight with you, but that does not mean I¡¯m truly afraid of you.¡±


    Boom!


    Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s phantom dissipated with a roar.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± The East Demon Deity was seething with frustration.


    This time, not only did he fail to solve the problem, but he also paid a hefty price in treasures.


    ¡°East Demon.¡±


    ¡°At least we have ascertained the true identity of Spirit Gun.¡± Bei Yue Deity said softly, ¡°And we know of one of his major trump cards. That Flying Serpent is at least as strong as Spirit Gun, if not stronger, and equally a threat.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun Li Yuan.¡± The thought of this made East Demon Deity¡¯s head throb, ¡°And there¡¯s an even stronger Second Rank Flying Serpent. How the hell did he train them?¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue, what are your thoughts?¡± East Demon Deity looked towards Bei Yue Deity.


    Bei Yue Deity, being the youngest and once receiving advice from East Demon Deity many times before becoming a God.


    Because of this, the relationship between the two deities was very good, and Bei Yue Deity had always stood firmly with East Demon Deity, allowing the civilization of Eastern Demons to secure its position.


    In the heart of East Demon Deity, when he ascended to True God in the Divine Realm, he definitely intended to pass on the Myriad Demons Civilization to Bei Yue Deity.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard for us alone to deal with Li Yuan.¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°How about, we first send the news to Immortal Ruins Civilization, Crimson Sun Civilization, Myriad Dawn Civilization?¡±


    The three civilizations mentioned by Bei Yue Deity were the strongest in the entire Mortal Domain, standing at the peak through the long ages, the three God Level Civilizations.


    The power of any one of these civilizations far exceeded that of Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Will it be useful?¡± East Demon Deity frowned, ¡°These three civilizations are strong, but it¡¯s not easy for them to make a move.¡±


    ¡°It might be useful or useless.¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°But if they are willing to act, at least, they have a much greater chance of tempting the Semi-Divine of Seven Stars Civilization than us,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°And it doesn¡¯t really harm us. None of these civilizations would wish for a True God to emerge from Seven Stars Civilization.¡±


    ¡­


    The ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ of Seven Stars Civilization, merely 25 years old, turned out to be another super genius of Seven Stars Civilization¡ª¡¯Li Yuan.¡¯


    This news, like a hurricane, rapidly spread among the semi-divines and Flying Heaven Warriors of Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Spirit Gun is Li Yuan? He¡¯s only 25 years old?¡±


    ¡°25 years old, with a Semi-Divine Level comprehension? A Semi-Divine Level Soul? Impossible! I don¡¯t believe it.¡±


    ¡°This can¡¯t be true, absolutely impossible!¡± The first reaction of countless strong beings in Myriad Demons Civilization was that the news was fake.


    ¡°It¡¯s true.¡±


    ¡°In Flame Surge Star Realm, a Semi-Divine took action against him, caught a glimpse of Spirit Gun¡¯s true identity, but ultimately failed.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is Li Yuan, and Li Yuan managed to escape from a Semi-Divine, also because he has a heaven-defyingly powerful Spirit Beast.¡±


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what kind of Spirit Beast it is.¡±


    ¡°A monster, indeed.¡±


    ¡°Has the Mortal Domain ever seen such a monstrously talented Prime Warrior? Why is he so strong?¡±


    ¡°I reckon, he has cultivated into the legendary Seven Star Veins,¡± speculated many in Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan is Spirit Gun.


    Li Yuan escaped from a Demigod.


    Li Yuan has an extremely powerful Spirit Beast.


    Li Yuan is suspected to have cultivated Seven Star Veins, or even Eight Star Veins¡­ One startling piece of news after another, driven by the higher echelons of Myriad Demons Civilization and with the help of other civilizations¡¯ intelligence networks within the Myriad Demons Civilization, swiftly spread out.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped.


    Spirit Gun was already famous, and after sweeping through the battles of the Second-Level Star Realm, he attracted even more attention, but everyone assumed he was 50 years old¡­ Now it exploded that he was only 25 years old!


    Madness!


    Many strong beings from various Foreign Civilizations, upon learning of this news, were amazed and sighed in admiration.

 Chapter 632 - 350: Chi Yan True God! Finally Achieved Eight Star Veins (Additional Update)

    Chapter 632: Chapter 350: Chi Yan True God! Finally Achieved Eight Star Veins (Additional Update)


    In the vast Mortal Domain, there are over ten thousand Dimensional Planes.


    Many ordinary civilizations, limited by their information networks, might not yet be aware of Li Yuan¡¯s affairs.


    However, some of the top-tier powerful civilizations have incredibly vast information networks that span the entire Dimensional Domain¡­It could even be said that many ordinary civilizations are branches of those top-tier civilizations.


    The civilizations within the entire Dimensional Domain are subtly divided into several levels.


    At the very top are the Immortal Ruins Civilization, Crimson Sun Civilization, and Myriad Dawn Civilization¡ªthese three major civilizations have vast territories, with hundreds of Life Planets and countless beings; each generation sees the birth of many divinities.


    Historically, numerous True Gods were also born¡ªthese are first-rate civilizations.


    ...


    Of course, whether there are True Gods in the current era remains a mystery! This is the biggest secret of the top-tier civilizations, not easily known to other forces.


    Second-rate civilizations, such as the Myriad Demons Civilization, have historically given birth to True Gods, and each generation has divinities to protect them; there are dozens of such civilizations throughout the Dimensional Domain.


    Third-rate civilizations are those with lots of Demigods and occasionally give rise to divinities; there are many such civilizations.


    However, civilizations that have never produced divinities are considered subpar and are the mainstream throughout the Dimensional Domain.


    Take the Seven Star Civilization, for instance, theoretically considered subpar, yet in terms of overall strength, it matches or even surpasses most third-rate civilizations, marking it as somewhat special; the rise of a normal civilization would not be so rapid.


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, Nine Clouds Sect.


    This is one of the most powerful sects in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, having produced more than one True God.


    The headquarters of the entire sect is located on an entire planet, on which there is a majestic mountain range.


    Above the mountain range, there are layers upon layers of peculiar cloud vortexes, with a diameter exceeding a thousand kilometers.


    These layers of vortexes continuously extend into the starry sky.


    Within these cloud vortexes, one can vaguely see standing palaces and occasionally passing warships; this place is the highest holy land of the entire sect¡ªthe Nine Clouds Realm.


    Today, at the highest region of the layered cloud vortexes.


    ¡°Old Ancestor!¡±


    This area is vast and empty, with no people or buildings around, white clouds underfoot, and an endless starry sky above.


    A figure in a black robe, exuding a strong aura, stood between heaven and earth, respectfully saluting towards the void: ¡°I have important matters to report.¡±


    After a long while,


    Rustle¡ªSuddenly, in the endless starry sky, nine stars appeared out of nowhere, radiating light that shone down and eventually converge into a towering phantom.


    This phantom, dressed in splendid garments, with an unclear face, was faintly radiating a fiery glow, and its aura was robust and endless.


    ¡°Chi Yan Old Ancestor,¡± the black-robed figure respectfully said.


    If ordinary Demigods of the Nine Clouds Sect were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly be dumbfounded.


    Because the black-robed figure was the sect master of the Nine Clouds Sect. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Also, the Speaker of the ¡®Civilization Conference¡¯ of the entire Immortal Ruins Civilization, a true divine being.


    His single word could decide the life and death of billions of beings from this civilization.


    And he was respectfully saluting someone?


    ¡°Yan Lin, why have you come to seek me out so soon again?¡± The fiery phantom looked down at the black-robed man: ¡°The last time you reported to me was several years ago; it was about Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°Old Ancestor is wise,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God respectfully said.


    ¡°Old Ancestor.¡±


    ¡°This time I report because within our Dimensional Domain, there has emerged a fearsome prodigy.¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God respectfully continued: ¡°I just received the news that in the Seven Star Civilization, a prodigy named ¡®Li Yuan¡¯ has risen. At only 25 years old, as a Prime Warrior, he effortlessly killed a Flying Heaven Peak Expert.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization again? At age 25?¡± The fiery phantom¡¯s voice carried a hint of surprise: ¡°Crossing a major realm, how did he achieve that? Was it with the help of a treasure?¡±


    ¡°It was his own strength,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God respectfully answered.


    ¡°By his own strength?¡± The fiery phantom was genuinely surprised: ¡°Is his comprehension of laws extremely high? Did he step into the Threshold of the Law?¡±


    As an existence surpassing a Pseudo-God, his perspective was extremely high.


    ¡°From the intelligence passed by the Myriad Demons Civilization, this Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique should be extremely strong; it likely merges with the laws, and its might should be at the True Intent Perfection level,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said: ¡°He must have cultivated a supreme Body Refinement Technique¡­¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God quickly recounted all the details about ¡®Li Yuan¡¯.


    ¡°So it seems.¡±


    ¡°He should be even more formidable than Fang Hai, whom you last reported about,¡± the fiery phantom slowly said: ¡°If he truly is of the Seven Star Veins, that indeed qualifies as a miracle¡­ Even in the distant Divine Realm, a Second Rank Seven Star Vein is already a supreme genius; most True Gods couldn¡¯t achieve this when they were young.¡±


    ¡°He has the potential to become a True God.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God listened intently.


    Talent comprises many aspects: Law Talent, Mind Talent, Star Vein Talent¡­ To become a super genius, no aspect can be lacking.


    Of course, when a Cultivator is exceptionally talented in one aspect, their other aspects are often not too weak.


    ¡°This Seven Star Civilization is indeed an anomaly.¡±


    ¡°First there was Dongfang Ji, then Fang Hai, and now Li Yuan¡­ Being close to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain indeed offers a great advantage, allowing them to obtain many opportunities and treasures,¡± the fiery phantom said: ¡°Unfortunately, during the ancient battle of the gods, although I killed many divinities, I ultimately never entered the Inner Domain to see.¡±


    ¡°But ultimately, Old Ancestor became a True God,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said: ¡°Back then, few of those gods who entered the Inner Domain came out alive.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was well aware.


    Over ten thousand years ago, the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain emerged.


    At that time, the ¡®Chi Yan Old Ancestor¡¯ in front of him was only a Pseudo-God yet greatly shone in that battle, and not long after, he achieved True God status.


    With ten thousand years passed, the capabilities Chi Yan Old Ancestor has reached are beyond his imagination.

    Chapter 633: Chapter 350: Chi Yan True God! Finally Achieved the Eight Star Veins (Additional Update)_2


    But without a doubt,


    The Chi Yan True God had become the greatest reliance of the Immortal Ruins Civilization and even the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect as a whole.


    ¡°As for Li Yuan, let¡¯s just keep an eye on him in secret for now,¡± the Chi Yan True God said slowly. ¡°Our realm doesn¡¯t border with the Immortal Ruins Civilization, so we¡¯ve got power with nowhere to apply it¡­ It¡¯s the Myriad Demons Civilization that has been constantly clashing with the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Go contact East Demon, if he needs some help, we might be able to lend a hand.¡±


    ¡°Does the ancestor mean to fight with the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°No, not fight.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Just to cause some trouble,¡± the Chi Yan True God looked down at him. ¡°Our ancestors, upon reaching the Divine Realm, mostly joined the Myriad Dao Divine Court¡­ Ten thousand years ago, the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain suddenly emerged, and not that many powerful divines descended¡­ Most forces in the Divine Realm didn¡¯t even have time to react.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was listening.


    The Myriad Dao Divine Court was a super force in the Divine Realm.


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, in its long years, gave birth to gods¡­ Many ultimately went to the Divine Realm, and over time, cultivated there, inevitably linking themselves back to the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization had long relayed many details about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain to the Myriad Dao Divine Court.


    ¡°Over tens of thousands of years, the ¡®spatial window phase¡¯ of our Mortal Domain is about to arrive again,¡± said the Chi Yan True God calmly.


    ¡°Another window phase?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God was startled.


    As a Pseudo-God, he naturally understood what a ¡®window phase¡¯ meant.


    However, with his level of strength, he couldn¡¯t calculate specifics.


    But as a native entity, the Chi Yan True God could do it, something foreign True Gods couldn¡¯t match.


    ¡°For a million years, our Immortal Ruins Civilization has been striving generation after generation to rule the entire Mortal Domain, but has never succeeded,¡± the Chi Yan True God said softly. ¡°The Crimson Sun Civilization and the Myriad Dawn Civilization are already major threats¡­ I do not wish for the Seven Star Civilization to become another.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said respectfully.


    ¡°However, if we are not absolutely certain, we should not take direct action ourselves, otherwise, if we cannot stop the rise of the Seven Star Civilization, they will become our deadly enemies in the future.¡±


    ¡°Just secretly assist the Myriad Demons Civilization to suppress them. Whether one of them loses in the conflict, it¡¯s beneficial for us either way, and our belief in the Myriad Demons Civilization is great,¡± said the Chi Yan True God. ¡°If we can kill Li Yuan, that would be best¡­ If we cannot¡­ when he becomes Semi-Divine, we should send a congratulatory gift.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God understood the ancestor¡¯s intention.


    Before becoming Semi-Divine, there was still hope of finding a way to kill him.


    Once Semi-Divine, with such an exceptional talent, his strength would certainly be nearly divine, and henceforth, contemplating his assassination would be nothing but a fool¡¯s dream.


    ¡­


    The Crimson Sun Civilization had rapidly risen to become a powerful civilization in the past hundred thousand years.


    In the boundless starry sky,


    Merely a few million miles from a blazing star, a majestic temple floated in the void.


    The temple appeared as though it were bathing in an eternal, undying divine light.


    ¡°Haha, interesting!¡±


    Seated on the throne, a figure garbed in a red robe, towering about a hundred meters tall appeared, looking down at the intelligence materializing in his hands: ¡°The small Seven Star Civilization, successively rising so many talents¡­ Maybe, in the future, it could really produce not just one True God.¡±


    In the entire Mortal Domain, if one True God were to emerge, then during the era of that True God¡¯s lifetime, it would be a top-tier power.


    What if there were multiple True Gods? Such a force would make the civilization¡¯s foundation staggeringly strong.


    Both the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Crimson Sun Civilization have had their glorious eras of multiple coexisting True Gods.


    ¡°Is it because of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, according to the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± The towering red-robed figure mused: ¡°They want us to take action.¡±


    ¡°Too far.¡±


    ¡°We have not yet established Star Realm contact with the Seven Star Civilization¡­ The Immortal Ruins Civilization is closer and seems to have created a shared Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Let them fight like dogs.¡±


    ¡­


    In an extraordinarily short period of time, most of the upper echelons of the civilizations in the Dimensional Domain had come to know the facts.


    ¡°So it turns out, the slaughterer of our elites was Li Yuan.¡± Many of the civilizations that were attacked in the Second Level Star Realm came to their realization.


    Of course, relative to the number of civilizations in the Dimensional Domain¡­ only a minority were attacked by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Being slaughtered is normal.¡±


    ¡°If our civilization had also birthed such supreme talents, they would have swept through other Star Realms similarly.¡±


    ¡°Only the strong deserve resources.¡±


    ¡°Only 25 years old, I hear the Seven Star Civilization has a shortcut to enter the periphery of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, truly enviable.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, there truly is hope of becoming a True God.¡±


    ¡°In a million years, Li Yuan is probably the strongest Prime Warrior,¡± numerous deeds about Li Yuan were spreading swiftly.


    Even,


    Many civilizations¡¯ recorded ¡®histories of the Dimensional Domain¡¯ had already incorporated the name and feats of Li Yuan.


    In any case,


    With the push from the Wan Mo Civilization, Li Yuan¡¯s fame had completely surpassed that of Fang Hai, and in a way, even exceeded Dongfang Ji¡­ becoming the first impression that many distant civilizations had of the ¡®Seven Star Civilization.¡¯


    ¡­


    And at the same time, this explosive news was also rampant among the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization.


    A tide of shock.


    Many Semi-Divines and Flying Heaven Warriors from various planets were frantically discussing through the virtual network.


    ¡°Li Yuan is Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°It was Li Yuan!!¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t it said that Li Yuan¡¯s strength was only comparable to that of Yu Jinghe back in the day?¡±


    ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    Yu Jinghe made an appearance: ¡°I knew for a long time that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan, haha, I was dying to say it, Li Yuan¡¯s strength has long surpassed mine.¡± S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Previously, it must have been the civilization¡¯s high levels wanting to keep it a secret.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Haha!¡±


    ¡°Back then, our Alliance Hierarch graduated from Kunlun Martial University, you all said it was luck,¡± Dean Hai was in high spirits: ¡°Now, Li Yuan has also graduated from Kunlun Martial University, who dares to say it was just luck.¡±

    Dean Hai had long known that the Spirit Gun was Li Yuan, but he had never been able to say it.


    Today, he could finally talk about it.


    ¡­


    Although the news wasn¡¯t fully public, as most ordinary people still remained unaware, many prodigies of the Martial Divine Star Realm did have the privilege to know.


    Inside the only tavern in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°He¡¯s truly incredible.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, to think it¡¯s Li Yuan.¡± Dantai Feng sat in the main seat, still somewhat astounded as he said, ¡°Even when I asked my grandfather and got a definite answer, I couldn¡¯t completely be sure.¡±


    ¡°Haha, Old Dantai, don¡¯t say you weren¡¯t sure, we were all a bit dumbfounded when we found out,¡± laughed Jin Huguo who was sitting nearby. ¡°It¡¯s really a bit scary.¡±


    There were quite a few people who came to the gathering today, over ten, all invited by Dantai Feng.


    Most were friends from Blue Star, and the majority were from Xia Country.


    ¡°I heard before that his True Intent had broken through to the Sixth Stage Middle Rank, and I thought his cultivation progress was fast enough,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a sigh. ¡°But who could have thought, in just the blink of an eye, his comprehension of True Intent is now comparable to that of a Semi-Divine.¡±


    At that, everyone laughed, then they all became somewhat reflective.


    Semi-Divine Comprehension!


    That was at least Sixth Stage Perfection¡­ how many years had it taken Li Yuan to go from Sixth Stage Initial Rank to Sixth Stage Perfection?


    Five years? Six years?


    Just the thought made this group of talents from the Martial Divine Hall tremble.


    People like Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang had performed quite well among the new generation, but after all these years, they were only just beginning to condense their True Intent.


    ¡°Before, I thought Alicia had a chance to catch up with Li Yuan,¡± Jin Huguo said with a chuckle.


    The group turned their gaze towards Alicia.


    Alicia, with her rapid progress, had already formed her True Intent¡­ and her cultivation had never really hit a bottleneck.


    ¡°Don¡¯t compare yourself with him!¡± Alicia laughed. ¡°Think about it, isn¡¯t his rate of cultivation becoming more and more exaggerated?¡±


    Everyone nodded involuntarily.


    ¡°I feel¡­¡±


    ¡°By the time we become Flying Heaven Warriors, he will probably have already become Semi-Divine,¡± Dantai Feng sighed. ¡°It¡¯s understandable, he has been capable of becoming a Flying Heaven for a while and hasn¡¯t broken through, probably in pursuit of stronger Star Meridians.¡±


    ¡°But!¡±


    ¡°Even if Li Yuan becomes a god in the future,¡± Dantai Feng shifted his tone and chuckled. ¡°He¡¯ll still have to admit that he was publicly defeated by me back in the day.¡±


    ¡°Haha, participating in the ten-schools freshmen battle was the right choice. The merit of that championship is still getting higher.¡±


    They all laughed and jeered for a while.


    Amidst the sounds of admiration and reflection.


    ¡°Little Star, tell me, do I really have a chance in this life to catch up to him, Mom?¡± A voice rang out in Alicia¡¯s mind.


    ¡°This¡­¡± The childish voice hesitated. Not long ago, it was encouraging Alicia. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ¡°Alicia, after a while, once you reach the Sixth Stage Middle Rank, we will head to Ming Xu Star Realm to compete for a Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    ¡­


    His identity revealed, the spread of the message stirred up a huge uproar.


    Numerous strong individuals within the Seven Star Civilization tried to send messages to Li Yuan; some were blessings, some sought help, some desired a meeting¡­ all sorts of messages.


    ¡°It¡¯s truly insane!¡±


    ¡°Thank goodness.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t disturb the family.¡± Li Yuan stayed in the Quiet Chamber of the Martial Divine Star Realm, looking at the message from Bai Shan Semi-Divine, who had expressly sent two Flying Heaven Warriors to stay permanently in the South Lake Starfire District.


    Additionally, there was protection from Flying Heaven-level personal robots.


    There would also be an upgrading and renovation of the entire residential villa¡­ Actually, according to Bai Shan Semi-Divine, his aunt and uncle should have left Jiang City and gone to live in Feixing or the Capital City of Xia Country.


    ¡°Now that your identity is revealed, the shock it has brought is too great; countless Alien Races want to track you and assassinate you, your relatives are facing huge risks¡­ In Jiang City, it is very difficult to get the best protection.¡± These were the original words of Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    But after communicating with his uncle, Li Yuan was met with Li Changzhou¡¯s refusal.


    In the end, Li Yuan gave up the idea of forcibly relocating his uncle and only asked Bai Shan Semi-Divine to provide secret protection.


    ¡°Layer upon layer of protection.¡±


    ¡°The risk to my aunt and uncle is very low,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    As for Li Muhua and Li Qianqian?


    They had both grown up, had their own lives and paths to follow, and Li Yuan didn¡¯t intend to intervene too much, just watch over them covertly.


    And Xu Ling? With Li Yuan¡¯s secret help over the years, had also become a Prime Warrior.


    There were few who knew of the special relationship between Xu Ling and Li Yuan.


    ¡°Family is safe.¡±


    ¡°Everything is ready.¡±


    ¡°Now, the high-ups of the Myriad Demons Civilization and many Alien Race warriors probably hate me like mad and are desperate to kill me at all costs,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight smile, the more his enemies hated him, the more it proved he was doing the right thing.


    Over these past few days.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart had become completely tranquil.


    ¡°Time to begin the third Spiritual Guidance.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and his strong mental consciousness instantly descended into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Right down to the Second Level.


    ¡°¡­Such rich golden mist,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body observed the golden mist swirling through the second-level temple hall.


    It was incredibly dense.


    ¡°My level of Spiritual Awakening has reached 50%, 60%, 70%, and I couldn¡¯t use these injections of Origin Power previously due to reaching the limit of my physical quality,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°It seems like they should be accumulative.¡±


    ¡°Once I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, I¡¯ll be able to use them all at once. I wonder to what level I¡¯ll be able to reach,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Under normal circumstances, for Flying Heaven Warriors to cultivate from level 30 to level 35¡­


    Even with the right realm and plenty of treasures to assist, it would still take more than a decade.


    Not to mention reaching even higher levels like 36, 37, it would take even more time.

    Chapter 635: Chapter 350: Chi Yan True God! Finally Achieved the Eight Star Veins (Additional Update)_4


    Regarding the golden fog, Li Yuan observed it only briefly before his mental consciousness converged on the jade platform at the center of the hall.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    As before, the jade platform seemed to contain an invisible force of absorption, quickly drawing in Li Yuan¡¯s powerful mental consciousness.


    Shortly after.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± Li Yuan felt the scenery around him changing, and he found himself in the vast starry sky, where tens of thousands of stars twinkled, many of which converged to form several star tracks¡­ Life Starry Sky.


    ¡°Seven Star Veins.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Three Perfect Star Veins!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s current Soul Cultivation Level had far surpassed his past, allowing him to easily sense the seven star veins.


    Before the breakthrough, sensing six star veins always put a certain pressure on him.


    ¡°A Semi-Divine Level Soul brought about the third Spiritual Incorporation.¡±


    ¡°The fourth Spiritual Incorporation requires the Spiritual Awakening Level to reach 100%.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°It likely demands a Pseudo-God Level Soul, or even higher¡­ At Second Rank, it¡¯s probably unreachable.¡±


    ¡°This time, it¡¯s the greatest aid in achieving the Eight Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan had strived for many years.


    Especially to become a Semi-Divine Level Soul, amidst doubts and advice, Li Yuan persisted on his path¡­ yet at this moment, his heart felt even more tranquil.


    ¡°Hum~¡± Quickly triggered a strange change within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Gradually.


    Whoosh whoosh~ In the dim and vast Life Starry Sky, at some unknown moment, a purplish airflow started to drift, emitting a strange glow.


    ¡°Here it comes.¡± It was the third time Li Yuan sensed these mysterious purple streams.


    This time, he sensed them more clearly, yet he was still unable to peer into their true secrets.


    ¡°Hum~ Hum~¡±


    The purple airflow silently merged into Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body, perfectly integrating with his soul consciousness.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan once again felt that odd shift in vision, and in a blink, he felt as if he could overlook the entire Life Starry Sky.


    He also sensed those strange stars.


    ¡°Perhaps, the sense is clearer than during the last Spiritual Guidance, could it be because my soul has metamorphosed?¡± Li Yuan realized, accurately sensing each Life Star among millions of stars.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Seek dust and micro, combine two into one¡­¡± The familiar sound of the Great Dao resonated once again.


    Whoosh~


    Whoosh~ Li Yuan¡¯s mind was serene, his strong mental consciousness instantly dispersed under the guidance of the sound of the Great Dao.


    Quickly integrating into each clearly sensed Life Star, imprinting his Spiritual Imprint.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    One!


    Ten! S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A thousand!


    Ten thousand¡­ Previously unawakened multitude of Life Stars, were rapidly lit up at this moment.


    Gradually.


    ¡°Hum~¡± With many Life Stars awakening and connecting with some already awakened Star Veins to form a whole, one star vein swiftly reached 129,600 Life Stars, creating a sense of perfection.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The entire star vein instantly vibrated, becoming dazzling, and along with the other three radiant star veins, they shone brilliantly¡­ The fourth Perfect Star Vein was completed and born.


    Then came the birth of the fifth Perfect Star Vein.


    The sixth star vein, the seventh star vein, were also continuously becoming stronger¡­ More Life Stars awaken.


    However.


    As time passed, the purple airflow became thinner¡­ the number of unstructured awakening Life Stars in the Life Starry Sky surpassed two hundred thousand¡­ but neither new perfect star veins nor new star veins were created.


    ¡°Continue!¡± Li Yuan remained calm, methodically awakening Life Stars.


    Finally, as everything was about to settle and Li Yuan believed he could no longer directly awaken the Eighth Star Vein.


    Hum~ Another Life Star awakened.


    At this moment.


    It was as if it was a final push.


    ¡°Boom!¡± In the Life Starry Sky, the previously tens of thousands of scattered, unstructured Life Stars, as if stimulated by something, suddenly began to operate¡­ the Eighth Star Vein was finally awakened.


    In an instant!


    ¡°Eight Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan felt the last trace of strange airflow power being exhausted.


    At that moment.


    Li Yuan realized, if it weren¡¯t for his great determination and perseverance to achieve a Semi-Divine Level Soul, even with three Spiritual Guidances, the Eight Star Veins would be difficult to achieve.


    Such is time, such is life!


    ¡°Eight Star Veins!¡± Li Yuan thought.


    The eight star veins vibrantly operated, faintly emerging on the surface of his body, interwoven with each other, and converging at the dantian in his abdomen, subtly having a sense of flawless perfection.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins, the pressure on the soul surpasses that of the Seven Star Veins by several times, it seems to have reached the limit.¡± Li Yuan sensed a guidance in the dark: ¡°With my strong soul, wanting to awaken another Life Star now seems very difficult.¡±


    It is a guidance under the operation of heaven and earth¡ªEight Star Veins, it is a limit of Second Rank Life.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare for Flying Heaven.¡±

 Chapter 636 - 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan

    Chapter 636: Chapter 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan


    ¡°To resolve the many future calamities, especially those involving the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were very calm, ¡°Then, my future goal is to Ascend to Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°The path to becoming a Heavenly Divine is incredibly arduous.¡±


    ¡°Even with Second Rank Eight Star Veins, it¡¯s not guaranteed to Ascend to Heavenly God.¡± Li Yuan was clear on this point, ¡°However, reaching the limit in Star Veins always offers greater hope.¡±


    Having browsed through many scriptures left by Qiu Bingzun, especially about the Divine Realm¡¯s cultivation common knowledge.


    Li Yuan was well aware that future achievements are decided by various factors, with the core ones being Law Comprehension and Star Veins.


    For instance, to become Semi-Divine, one must at least possess Four-Star Veins, and a certain True Intent Comprehension must reach Sixth Stage Perfection.


    ...


    To become a Pseudo-God, at least Five-Star Veins are necessary, and one must achieve a higher level in comprehending a Law.


    ¡°Some powerful beings might have insufficient Star Veins, only having Six Star Pulse.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But with highly profound Law Comprehension, they can still ascend to True God¡­ but not to Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°But for some powerful beings, even with Eight Star Veins, if they hit a bottleneck in Law Comprehension, forget Ascending to Heavenly Divine, they can¡¯t even become True Gods.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Both are indispensable.


    Of course, the talents of Laws and Star Veins often complement each other¡­ just like Li Yuan himself, because his Star Veins were strong enough, he could cultivate two of the most powerful auxiliary Star Techniques.


    ¡°In terms of Law Talent, I might not even catch up to Liu Bing.¡± Li Yuan was very calm in his heart, ¡°And I can¡¯t compare with some monstrously talented beings mentioned in the scriptures of Qiu Bingzun.¡±


    ¡°However, through the long years.¡±


    ¡°One step at a time, striving to reach my limit in every realm, there is ultimately hope.¡± Li Yuan stood up, ¡°I do not know if I can ultimately succeed, but at the least, I have reached the pinnacle of a Prime Warrior.¡±


    A limit that could no longer be surpassed.


    From initially unable to awaken the Spiritual Guidance in middle school, lacking a better external environment¡­ to later awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but Li Yuan still exerted all his efforts to cultivate¡­ until pursuing the Second Rank Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°I do not know if I can succeed.¡±


    ¡°I only seek to give my all, to live this life without regrets.¡± The moment Li Yuan felt the Transformation of the Eight Star Veins, his heart was calm.


    If he hadn¡¯t succeeded with three instances of Spiritual Guidance, then, he might have spent another ten or even twenty years, until he was fifty at last.


    ¡­Rumble~


    The door to the Quiet Chamber opened, and two streaks of light flew in, precisely the Ancient Divine Palace and Heavenly Snake Hall, these two Cave Heaven Treasures.


    The process of Spiritual Guidance was too inconceivable, so Li Yuan didn¡¯t let them pry.


    ¡°Let¡¯s tell Liu Bing and Gu You about this.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡­


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Liu Bing, I¡¯m ready to become Eight Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense incarnation smiled.


    ¡°Big brother, are you ready to breakthrough?¡± Liu Bing was slightly puzzled, ¡°Aren¡¯t you pursuing the Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°What? After reaching Seven Star Veins, did you sense the difficulty of awakening the Life Star, felt the hardship of the Eight Star Veins? Gave up on becoming Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun also appeared.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t given up.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve just already succeeded, so naturally, it¡¯s time to breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m glad to hear that¡­ What? You¡¯ve already succeeded?¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan incredulously.


    But then he saw Li Yuan¡¯s expression, which didn¡¯t seem to be lying.


    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Qiu Bingzun stared at Li Yuan, ¡°Weren¡¯t you just at Seven Star Veins a short while ago?¡±


    ¡°Elder, Liu Bing.¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t directly answer the question, saying, ¡°I should breakthrough in another Cave Heaven¡­ I expect to be in closed-door cultivation for a while.¡± sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Once he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Li would use three instances of Origin Power infusion in one go¡­ naturally, it would take some time.


    ¡°Alright, big brother, concentrate on your cultivation.¡± Liu Bing smiled, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it will take me a while to advance to Third Rank.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Stay in Second Rank for a longer time, consolidate your foundation, then hastily reaching Third Rank won¡¯t bring any benefits.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Shortly after.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense projection dissipated.


    ¡°Liu Bing, aren¡¯t you going to ask more? Did Li Yuan really become Eight Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun frowned slightly, ¡°Has he been in seclusion this past period just awakening the Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Moving from Seven Star Veins to Eight Star Veins, how difficult is that, and he just broke through like this?¡± Qiu Bingzun still couldn¡¯t believe it.


    If Li Yuan had spent ten or twenty years and eventually awakened the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, he could accept it.


    But how long has it been?


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to ask.¡± Liu Bing shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s enough that big brother told me about the Eight Star Veins¡­ As for how he achieved the Eight Star Veins, whether it was some special opportunity or his innate talents, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Just like the many treasures the Ancestor left me, you also told me never to leak the news, not even to big brother¡­ Big brother only ever asks if I need help, never the reasons.¡± Liu Bing said.


    Qiu Bingzun paused for a moment, then showed a smile, ¡°I was overthinking.¡±


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°It seems.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled slightly, ¡°Aside from that True God Heritage, your big brother, has some secrets we can hardly understand¡­ But that¡¯s a good thing.¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable.¡± Qiu Bingzun exclaimed, ¡°Perhaps, before he Ascends to God, he truly has a chance to challenge the highest level Star Vein legend in the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°The highest level Star Vein legend?¡± Liu Bing was puzzled.


    ¡°Ten-Star Veins!¡± Qiu Bingzun spelled out.


    ¡­


    ¡°About to become Eight Star Veins? Preparing to break through Flying Heaven?¡± Dongfang Ji, situated in a mysterious location in Feixing, suddenly received a message from Li Yuan.


    For other Demigods, Li Yuan might not inform them.


    But for the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan trusted him immensely; since he was about to break through, naturally, he had to tell the truth.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡± Dongfang Ji was stunned for a long time, his subconscious even doubted if Li Yuan was fooling him.

 Chapter 637 - 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_2

    Chapter 637: Chapter 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_2


    After all, it was too incredible.


    ¡°Given Li Yuan¡¯s character, he wouldn¡¯t speak without certainty. It has been like that since the battle of Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji said in a low voice, ¡°Eight Star Veins, it must be true.¡±


    Thinking of this,


    A hint of anticipation rose in Dongfang Ji¡¯s heart, ¡°The legendary Second Rank Eight Star Veins, once one breaks through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, how miraculous could it be?¡±


    Even for someone as experienced as Dongfang Ji, he only partially understood this matter.


    However,


    ...


    Dongfang Ji couldn¡¯t return for the time being.


    ¡°Keep a close watch on Seven Star Mountain, pay attention to Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough,¡± Dongfang Ji directly issued the order.


    ¡°Yes, master,¡± a deep voice responded.


    Immediately,


    Dongfang Ji no longer dwelled on it, his gaze once again fell on the vast dark space below.


    Massive icy chains stretched out from the void, extending into the dark depths.


    In this dark space, it seemed that some terrifying creature was hidden.


    ¡°Dotoya, after so many years, are you still unwilling to submit?¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°If you are willing to submit, I will set you free, and even allow you to Light the Divine Fire and become a deity.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji, keep dreaming,¡± a thunderous roar erupted from the dark space, ¡°The great Tongling tribe will never submit, never! Even if you imprison me until death, I will not submit to you.¡±


    ¡°How stubborn,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head slightly, he raised his hand, and golden light began to emerge from his palm.


    Hiss~


    The golden light shot out, alive and nimble, directly entering the dark space, and faintly revealed the enormous creature hidden within.


    Before long,


    ¡°Ah! Ah! Ah~¡± Screams of agony burst out from the dark space, but even this torturous pain couldn¡¯t make the enormous creature beg or submit.


    ¡°Dotoya, my patience is limited.¡±


    ¡°Think about it again, if you still refuse to submit the next time I ask you, there will be no more chances,¡± Dongfang Ji said slowly, stepping forward, transforming into a streak of golden light, and disappeared into the distance.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Ready to break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan in front of her and the eight glimmers of Star Meridians showing on his body.


    Eight Star Veins?


    She was as shocked in her heart as Qiu Bingzun, if not more so.


    ¡°Go to the Divine Crystal Chamber,¡± Gu You said directly, ¡°The Divine Crystal Energy there is the richest and the environment the quietest and safest.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan had no objections.


    Watching Li Yuan walk into the Divine Crystal Chamber, the girl¡¯s eyes sparkled cryptically: ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡­


    The Divine Crystal Chamber was not very large, but it was absolutely quiet.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the center, striving to calm his inner heart, and gradually, his soul became undisturbed.


    Breakthrough!


    Especially such a major realm breakthrough, emotional fluctuations are most taboo.


    ¡°Sea of Origin Power, Condensed Origin Pill, become a Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s powerful soul was now fully concentrated within his Sea of Origin Power.


    Vast space.


    The expansive Sea of Origin Power, called a sea, more resembled a large lake, those countless Origin Powers were pure beyond comparison¡­After cultivating to the powerful Body Refinement Realm, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power was already comparable to a Level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Buzz~ Li Yuan¡¯s Mental Consciousness stood vaguely above the Sea of Origin Power, perfectly controlling every bit of Origin Power.


    ¡°Origin Power like the sea, gathering like the tide,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and many key points about stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm surfaced in his mind.


    Rumble~ What was once a calm Sea of Origin Power, under the guidance of Li Yuan¡¯s powerful Mental Consciousness, suddenly stirred up, as if it had completely boiled, forming a massive Origin Power vortex in the center.


    This vortex¡¯s strength was as if it wanted to devour everything, crazily swallowing Origin Power from all directions.


    Continuously condensing!


    Continuously compressing! Making the Origin Power in the center of the vortex more refined and more powerful.


    This is the first step of breaking into the Flying Heaven ¡ª ¡°Origin Power like the tide!¡±


    ¡°Whirl~¡±


    The continuously concentrating Origin Power, almost compressed into physical form, seemed to be nurturing a massive star in the center¡­ Such strong power could not be controlled and guided by ordinary warriors.


    Powerful forces must be guided by the Power of Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°True Meaning of Earth!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thought moved, instantly invoking the unseen waves of The Mystery of Earth between heaven and earth, those invisible Mysteries of Heaven and Earth began to wildly surge into the center of the Origin Power vortex.


    This changed the characteristics of the Origin Power vortex, allowing Li Yuan to control it more perfectly.


    Every Prime Warrior has an innate attribute to their Origin Power, this attribute can be changed once when becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, utilizing one¡¯s own comprehension of heaven and earth to transform¡­ but once the Origin Pill is condensed, it cannot be changed again.


    Although Li Yuan had an extremely high talent on both the Earth and Wind paths, he instinctively chose to use the True Meaning of Earth to condense his Origin Pill.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± What was once as extensive as a lake, the Origin Power had now been thoroughly compressed and gathered at the center, forming a huge spherical body, the surface of the sphere still slowly flowing¡­ resembling the embryonic form of a star.


    This is the second step into stepping into Flying Heaven ¡ª Origin Pill Embryo!


    ¡°My Origin Pill Embryo is at least ten times stronger than that of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°This also means that once I complete the breakthrough, I might be Level 31 or even higher.¡±


    This was due to cultivating the powerful Body Refinement Realm, fundamentally stronger.


    This was also because Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was extremely high. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Unlike general Prime Warriors who break through to become Flying Heaven, most only have Fifth Stage Perfection comprehension, a few can condense True Intent¡­ Li Yuan, however, used Sixth Stage High-Rank comprehension to condense his Origin Pill, naturally different, saving much time in refining the Origin Pill.

 Chapter 638 - 351 Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_3

    Chapter 638: Chapter 351 Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_3


    However,


    the amount of energy in the embryonic form of the Origin Pill is not the most crucial¡­ after other martial artists become Flying Heaven Warriors, accumulating slowly, they can catch up.


    ¡°The third step, Star Meridian into the Pill,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was expectant, ¡°This is the most important.¡±


    With a thought,


    Boom!


    In Li Yuan¡¯s body, those Star Meridians that ran through every part of his body finally erupted completely at this moment, causing his body to tremble faintly.


    ...


    The Origin Power Space seemed to crack at this moment, and countless Phantom Stars cascaded down like waterfalls, forming dazzling streams of stars that merged directly onto the massive Origin Pill.


    Each stream of stars represented a Star Meridian.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡± A great number of Phantom Stars rapidly shrank to form specks of starlight and eventually merged with the Origin Pill, forming an ¡°Innate Star Meridian Mark¡± in its deepest part.


    Whoosh~ As the first Star Meridian Mark appeared, the Origin Pill gradually solidified, its emitted aura growing more majestic and powerful.


    Followed by the second, the third¡­ with each additional Star Meridian Mark, the aura of the Origin Pill grew stronger, and the golden light it emitted became more dazzling.


    ¡­just as nutrition is most important during a person¡¯s growth period, establishing a solid foundation allows steadier progress later on.


    Martial artists cultivate in the same way.


    The number of Innate Star Meridian Marks present at the initial formation of the Origin Pill largely determines the future potential.


    To become a Flying Heaven Warrior, one must have at least three Star Meridians, which is the weakest foundation for the Origin Pill. Without further awakening to four Star Meridians, even with high True Intent Comprehension, one cannot become a Demigod.


    With six Innate Star Meridians, even within the Divine Realm, the potential is considered decent. At the very least, there is hope of becoming a True God or even a Heavenly Divine.


    Seven Innate Star Meridians is a mark of top-notch talent.


    And Li Yuan, through years of effort and the aid of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, had reached a limit and manifested no less than eight Innate Star Meridian Marks.


    Like eight golden hoops encircling, this made the foundation of his Origin Pill unimaginably strong.


    ¡°The Origin Pill is finally complete,¡± joy filled Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    He had finally stepped into the realm of the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel the close connection between the Origin Pill and the eight Star Meridians, which were symbiotic.


    You see, martial artists in the Flying Heaven Realm and the Semi Divine Realm can theoretically awaken new Star Meridians¡­ Why place so much emphasis on the achievements at the time of becoming a Prime Warrior?


    It¡¯s because of the word ¡°Innate¡±!


    The Star Meridians awakened in the Flying Heaven Realm and the Semi Divine Realm are considered ¡°Acquired,¡± and the difference becomes more pronounced as one¡¯s cultivation progresses.


    ¡­


    Most martial artists entering the Flying Heaven Realm don¡¯t require a lot of Heaven and Earth Origin Power, as the majority only reach level 30 before slowly cultivating further.


    Even for Yu Jinghe and Fang Hai, when they became Flying Heaven Warriors with Six Star Meridians, there was no fundamental difference compared to those with Three or Four Star Meridians.


    But the higher one goes, the greater the difference.


    Eight Innate Star Meridian Marks, even if placed in the Divine Realm, are part of absolute legend; many Heavenly Divine might not encounter even one in their lifetimes.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Heaven and Earth Origin Power is almost becoming tangible,¡± Gu You had been observing Li Yuan.


    Within the Divine Crystal Chamber. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The originally dense Divine Crystal Energy was now surging crazily toward Li Yuan; at this moment, Li Yuan was like a voracious Taotie, frantically absorbing energy from all around and rapidly transforming it into his own ¡®Flying Heaven Origin Power¡¯ through the newly formed Origin Pill.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The Flying Heaven Origin Power also rapidly strengthened Li Yuan¡¯s body, making his aura grow ever more powerful.


    ¡°Flying Heaven!¡±


    ¡°The eight fleeting streaks of starlight just now must have been the eight Innate Star Meridian Marks,¡± Gu You observed Li Yuan, her heart filled with unspeakable shock, ¡°Truly eight Star Meridians?¡±


    ¡°According to what my father left behind,¡±


    ¡°If there are seven Innate Star Meridian Marks, once one becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, one would probably reach level 31.¡± Gu You thought to herself, ¡°Li Yuan should be stronger, I estimate he could directly reach level 32 or 33.¡±


    That would save a lot of time.


    But as time passed,


    Gu You¡¯s heart filled with more shock because¡­ the transformation of Li Yuan¡¯s life energy showed no signs of stopping.


    Level 31!


    Level 32!


    Level 33!


    Li Yuan was still voraciously devouring the Divine Crystal Energy¡­ This was unbelievable, as normally even with a strong Origin Pill foundation, growth should be gradual.


    Just like a person can¡¯t become obese in one meal.


    The growth of the Origin Pill should be the same.


    But Li Yuan completely broke this norm¡­ causing Gu You to shift from initial shock to gradually becoming somewhat numb.


    In a blink, several days passed.


    ¡°In just a few days, he grew to level 35 in one breath? And it hasn¡¯t stopped?¡± Gu You was in disbelief, ¡°Could it be that upon breaking through the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, he needs to grow to the Flying Heaven limit, to level 38?¡±


    This was entirely beyond Gu You¡¯s expectations.


    She was very familiar with the breakthrough scenes for those with Five-Star Meridians and Six Star Veins; she had seen too many¡­ For Seven Star Veins, she had read enough literature to have a basic understanding.


    Only the Second Rank Eight Star Veins.


    Even many books in the Divine Realm recorded very little about them, mainly speculations, because there were too few¡­ making the details of the breakthroughs for these super prodigies entirely secret.


    Apart from some superpowers, others had no clue.


    ¡°Perhaps,¡±


    ¡°This is what makes the Second Rank Eight Star Veins special,¡± Gu You could only attribute it to this: ¡°Blessed by heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, even the Second Rank Eight Star Veins are legendary.¡±


    ¡°But Li Yuan has accomplished it even within the Mortal Domain,¡± Gu You¡¯s heart was filled with expectation, ¡°Father, I have found a good successor for you. I will fulfill your last wish.¡±


    ¡°I will succeed.¡±

 Chapter 639 - 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_4

    Chapter 639: Chapter 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_4


    ¡°True God? Heavenly Divine!¡±


    ¡°As Li Yuan heads to the Divine Realm, I will assist him in joining the Divine Court Force,¡± Gu You murmured, ¡°striving to catch the attention of some of the supreme beings in the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°He will definitely become a super existence in the Divine Realm in the future.¡± Gu You could no longer imagine how far Li Yuan would go.


    Initially, the highest goal she set for Li Yuan was merely at the Second Rank Seven Star Veins.


    Second Rank Seven Star Veins, Second Rank Eight Star Veins, seemingly just a step away, but its rarity was more than ten thousand times.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    ...


    ¡°He¡¯s reached Level 36,¡± Gu You felt it was to be expected, even if Li Yuan were to suddenly transform into a Semi-Divine right there, she wouldn¡¯t be too surprised.


    ¡­


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough finally ended, and his life aura had completely stabilized.


    ¡°Three influxes of Origin Power into the body, the effects are indeed unimaginable,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the Divine Crystal Chamber, deeply shocked as well.


    After the Origin Pill was initially formed.


    Without hesitating, Li Yuan directly activated the golden mist that had long been stored in the second level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, allowing his Life Level to continuously soar¡­ This rapid transformation was not favored by heaven and earth.


    Rather, it was the magic of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°In less than ten days.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve broken through from Level 30 to Level 37 in one go,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on his Divine Palace panel.

    The strength of the Origin Power and the body, the basic strength was more than a hundred times more than before¡­ It gave Li Yuan an illusion that he could kill his former self with just a slap.

    ¡°`


    After Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level had stabilized, he walked straight out of the Divine Crystal Chamber and entered the Main Hall of the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Not far away stood the figure of a girl in white.


    ¡°Sister,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve completed the breakthrough and condensed the Eight Innate Star Meridians Origin Pill.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Gu You¡¯s face also beamed with an unrestrainable smile, filled with emotion, ¡°I watched the entire scene of your breakthrough. The Second Rank Eight Star Veins condensing the Origin Pill¡­ to reach level 37 in just ten days is truly inconceivable, no less than the power of many especially unique and wondrous objects.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The Innate Eight Star Meridians are indeed much more special than the Seven Star Veins,¡± Gu You couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°No wonder they have become a legend in the Divine Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment.


    Was his attainment of the three entries of Origin Power into his body being attributed by Gu You to the Innate Eight Star Meridians?


    However, he decided to go along with the mistake.


    ¡°Indeed, the Innate Eight Star Meridians are special,¡± Li Yuan spoke vaguely.


    He also roughly understood that probably because the Second Rank Eight Star Meridians were so rare and occurrences so few, even Gu You with her expansive knowledge was unclear what would happen once someone broke through.


    ¡°How do you feel now?¡± asked Gu You.


    ¡°Very strong,¡± Li Yuan replied candidly, ¡°My power is much greater than before. Even if I were to face the Semi-Divine from last time now, the outcome would be uncertain.¡±


    That encounter in the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    That Alien Race Semi-Divine, even with remote attacks of Origin Power, had pressured both Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡­ Close combat would mean certain death for both.


    And among them, Liu Bing¡¯s combat strength had been above Li Yuan¡¯s at that time¡­ From this, one could see the huge gap between Li Yuan before breakthrough and a Semi-Divine¡¯s power.


    ¡°That Semi-Divine from last time should be one of the weaker ones among their kind,¡± Gu You chuckled, ¡°You¡¯ve just broken through and haven¡¯t yet had the time to practice Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Once you master several Star Techniques to the Third Rank Limit, especially the All Things Divine Body to the Third Rank Limit¡­ then, defeating or even slaying that Semi-Divine from last time should be a piece of cake,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    In battles between the strong, Star Techniques are incredibly important¡­ The more powerful the Star Technique, the wider the gap from the lower-tier techniques.


    The All Things Divine Body, once cultivated to the Third Rank Limit, would be level 27.


    Now, Semi-Divines, even if they practiced Seventh Layer Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank Limit, are only at level 28.


    ¡°Sister, can I pass the third challenge left by Master now?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    The Ancient Torch Divine had left five challenges for his Direct Disciples.


    The first and second challenges were for the Prime Warrior stage.


    The third challenge was for the Flying Heaven Stage.


    The fourth challenge was for the Semi-Divine Stage.


    And the fifth challenge could only be attempted by those who Ascend to God.


    ¡°A one in ten chance,¡± Gu You deliberated and then said, ¡°Your current strength might not even be equal to Fang Hai before he achieved Seven Star Veins, just barely reaching the threshold of Semi-Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    His power is not up to that of the principal before the breakthrough? It made sense, after all, the principal had already reached the threshold of the Law of Water, quite profound even among Semi-Divines¡­ His Spear Technique¡¯s mystery was unrivaled among Prime Warriors, but quite ordinary when compared to Semi-Divines.


    Even the weakest Semi-Divines are at the Sixth Stage Perfection Level.


    Those slightly stronger cross the Threshold of the Law.


    Semi-Divine Peak Experts have terrifying Law Comprehension¡­ It is their powerful strength coupled with mystical moves that make a Semi-Divine¡¯s power completely surpass that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Most Semi-Divines, in their youth, were top-tier geniuses among Prime Warriors.


    ¡°If you want to try, there¡¯s no harm,¡± Gu You said, ¡°After all, you have five chances¡­ With a bit more time, even if you fail this time, you will surely succeed next time.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Follow me,¡± Gu You said.

    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Li Yuan and Gu You returned to the Main Hall, a trace of contemplation on Li Yuan¡¯s face.


    ¡°I lost terribly,¡± Li Yuan said helplessly.


    In the third challenge, the opponent was an extremely powerful Puppet at the Semi-Divine Level¡­ Li Yuan was defeated within less than ten moves.


    ¡°The third challenge requires you to match up against a normal level 41 Semi-Divine,¡± Gu You said with a smile, ¡°It still presents some difficulty¡­ Do you feel the gap?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°My Star Techniques and the mystery of my moves are not strong enough,¡± Li Yuan said with a grin, ¡°When my Spear Technique reaches the Threshold of the Law level, I will come and try again.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Earth and Wind fusion Spear Technique was almost on par with the Sixth Stage Limit, not far from the Initial Rank Seventh Stage.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Gu You said with a chuckle, ¡°Now that you have achieved Flying Heaven with the Eight Star Meridians, your potential and talent have far exceeded that of our father. After all, our father only reached the Seven Star Veins when he ascended to God¡­ Your Law Talent is also extremely high, while it may not be as freakish as your Star Vein Talent, it is still top-notch against the expanse of the Divine Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°Your Soul Will talent is similarly at the pinnacle.¡±


    ¡°From many perspectives, your future is immeasurable,¡± Gu You said with feeling, ¡°If you were born in the Divine Realm, even Heavenly Divine would probably take you on as a disciple directly¡­ It¡¯s just a pity you were born in the Mortal Domain.¡±


    ¡°Compared with the top talents of the Divine Realm, this is your biggest weakness, the lack of external resources,¡± Gu You continued, ¡°Such as those essential wondrous treasures, support from Enlightenment Treasures¡­ The top talents of the Divine Realm have resources far surpassing yours.¡±


    Li Yuan had to admit it.


    Gu You was right.


    ¡°So, if you want to maximize your Star Vein Talent and achieve the Nine Star Pulse at the Flying Heaven Stage, then you must strive with all your might to reach the Peak in various areas, including your Soul Realm and Law Comprehension,¡± Gu You said, ¡°Only then will you have the hope of taking your Star Veins even further.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded.

    Chapter 641: Chapter 352 The Legend of the Ten-Star Meridian_2


    Moreover, there are requirements for the soul, law comprehension etc¡­ If one¡¯s own strength is not enough, if there are some exotic treasures, one might still have a chance to awaken more Star Meridians.


    However, each of these exotic treasures is extremely precious.


    They scarcely exist in the Mortal Domain.


    ¡°Furthermore, there is the Nine Mountains Nine Leaves.¡± Gu You said, ¡°In the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, there are likely secrets or treasures that even Heavenly Divines would consider important¡­ If it were in the Divine Realm, treasures like these wouldn¡¯t even be something you little guys could compete for.¡±


    ¡°But in the Mortal Domain, it becomes possible.¡±


    ¡­


    ...


    After clashing with the Semi-Divine Puppet, Li Yuan realized he still needed time to grow and accumulate.


    Gu You¡¯s words also made Li Yuan¡¯s future path clearer.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan walked out of the Ancient Divine Palace, and at the same time, a Divine Thought had entered the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall, after conversing with Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan quickly learned another secret message.


    ¡°Flying Heaven, Semi-Divine stage, can at most awaken one more Star Meridian each?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°Once the Origin Pill is formed, the foundation is already set, and it is difficult to break through the limit.¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded seriously, ¡°Do you remember why the messages and texts I left repeatedly emphasize that to Ascend to Heavenly God, you must awaken at least five Star Meridians by the Second Rank?¡±


    Li Yuan thought about it, indeed those crystal stones had mentioned quite a bit.


    ¡°To Ascend to God, you must have Seven Star Meridians, that¡¯s the baseline.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°So, starting with a Five Star Meridian and consolidating the Origin Pill, awakening one additional Star Meridian in both Flying Heaven and Semi-God stages¡­ Seven Star Meridians is the limit.¡±


    ¡°Similarly.¡±


    ¡°Those who formed the Origin Pill with Six Star Meridians, before Ascending to God, achieving Eight Star Meridians is the limit.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°This is almost an ironclad rule in the long years of the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Almost?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°The operation of heaven and earth always leaves a glimmer of hope, theoretically anything is possible, but it¡¯s just theory,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°At least, I have never seen anyone break it in any texts.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    Just like ordinary people, theoretically, they could live to 150 years without any sickness¡­ but it¡¯s just theory.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Senior Qiu, does this mean, since I consolidated the Origin Pill with Eight Star Meridians, my limit is Ten Star Meridians?¡± A spark flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Once Ascending to God, the Star Meridians are completely fixed, almost unchangeable.


    Thus, the Semi-God is the last stage to awaken Star Meridians.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I wanted to tell you.¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Meridians, in the Divine Realm, is considered legendary, many Heavenly Gods might not see even one in their lifetimes, but the Divine Realm vast, in its endless years, still some emerge.¡±


    ¡°In the history of my Heaven Snake Clan, there have been several.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, he had discussed this with Little Bing.


    According to Little Bing¡¯s inherited memories¡­ in the millions of years history of the Heaven Snake Clan, hundreds of Heavenly Gods have been born¡­ but only a few with Second Rank Eight Star Meridians.


    ¡°But when they finally Ascended to God, they all were just Nine Star Meridians.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°None could achieve Ten Star Meridians¡­ in the history of my Heaven Snake clan, there has been no Ten Star Meridians powerhouse.¡±


    ¡°None?¡± Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, given the strength of the Heaven Snake Clan, if an exceptional genius with Second Rank Eight Star Meridians was born, they should go all out to help reach Ten Star Meridians.


    ¡°Every creature theoretically has numerous Star Meridians in its body¡­ but the body has its limitations, the soul¡¯s integration with the Life Star also has its limits, talent also has its limits.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°The awakening of Star Meridians, its difficulty skyrocketing later on.¡±


    ¡°But in any case, only Second Rank Eight Star Meridians hold the hope of finally achieving Ten Star Meridians.¡±


    ¡°If talking about Second Rank Eight Star Meridians, in the vast Divine Realm, one might be born every era.¡±


    ¡°Then, Ten Star Meridians is indeed the supreme legend of the Divine Realm.¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Many superpowers, I¡¯ve never heard of one being born.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Qiu Bingzun, truly from the Heaven Snake Clan, has a higher vision than Gu You¡­ concerning the secret of Ten Star Meridians, Gu You didn¡¯t mention it.


    ¡°Senior.¡±


    ¡°I will always strive towards Ten Star Meridians.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Success or failure, we¡¯ll see in the future.¡±


    Li Yuan was not frightened by Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words.


    No hope?


    You have to try and strive to know.


    After conversing with Liu Bing for a while, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Phantom finally dissipated.


    ¡°Senior Qiu, the harder you say it is, the less likely Brother seems to give up.¡± Liu Bing whispered.


    ¡°I knew his character long ago.¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, then sighed, ¡°Normally speaking, I think he has no chance at all, after all, those overlords in the Divine Realm can¡¯t even do it¡­ but Li Yuan¡­ always excels at creating miracles.¡±


    ¡°And moreover, with the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, miracles might just come into being,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°But regardless, his future awakening of the Nine Star Pulse should not be difficult.¡±


    Liu Bing nodded slightly.


    ¡°Xiaobing, cultivate for a while longer, then attempt a breakthrough,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°The Second Rank Eight Star Veins do not need to be forcibly achieved.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing nodded, but her eyes still brimmed with fighting spirit.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough to Flying Heaven occurred quietly within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    However, when Li Yuan arrived at the palace on the peak of Seven Star Mountain and met with the Mountain Lord Duanmu Hong.


    Duanmu Hong was taken aback.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your aura?¡± Duanmu Hong, dressed in a white robe, couldn¡¯t help but say.


    He looked at Li Yuan, only to feel a chilling thrill, as if he was facing a terrifying demon god.


    It felt like facing a semi-divine from the Alien Race.


    ¡°Have you ascended to Flying Heaven?¡± Duanmu Hong stared at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan replied with a nod and a smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right, even if you had a breakthrough, you should be at most level 31,¡± Duanmu Hong said, filled with confusion.


    ¡°Mountain Lord, I have already sent a message to the Alliance Hierarch, I am going to see him now,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Duanmu Hong nodded.


    Watching Li Yuan enter the passageway of the palace corridor, Duanmu Hong was still secretly astounded, ¡°Even if Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension is high, it shouldn¡¯t transform his life aura, unless¡­ has Li Yuan reached level 37?¡±


    Li Yuan achieving Seven Stars Pulse and Eight Stars Pulse was a secret, known only to a few within the Seven Star Civilization.


    However, many were guessing that Li Yuan was a Seven Star Pulse.


    ¡°If it¡¯s truly level 37¡­ our Seven Star Civilization might soon see another Flying Heaven Warrior capable of slaying a demi-god,¡± Duanmu Hong muttered to himself.


    ¡­


    Inside the mysterious space.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully, immediately noticing Dongfang Ji at the void¡¯s end.


    Before, Li Yuan did not understand.


    But having ascended to Flying Heaven and reached level 37, especially with the further enhancement of his soul, Li Yuan¡¯s perception ability had grown stronger¡­ surpassing that of ordinary demi-gods.


    Space!


    At that moment, Li Yuan could fully confirm that with a 99% probability, he and Dongfang Ji were not in the same space.


    Li Yuan was perceiving Dongfang Ji.


    Dongfang Ji was also observing Li Yuan, the more he observed, the more shocked he felt in his heart.


    ¡°Level 37?¡± Dongfang Ji finally spoke, ¡°Your soul must also be nearly in the Void God Realm.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch sees clearly,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Innate Eight Star Veins are indeed formidable,¡± Dongfang Ji naturally attributed all this to the miraculous Eight Star Veins.


    Li Yuan naturally did not explain.


    ¡°Do you now have the confidence to kill a demi-god?¡± Dongfang Ji asked.


    ¡°Not yet,¡± Li Yuan replied. ¡°I have just made a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true, I was too anxious,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and chuckled. ¡°Your mentor could do it because he had accumulated a long time in the Flying Heaven Realm, making his Sword Technique extremely strong¡­ Your Law Comprehension indeed still has a big gap.¡±


    ¡°But in the future, you will certainly be much stronger than him,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    He was very pleased.


    Fang Hai was something he was satisfied with, thinking there was hope to catch up to himself¡­ but Li Yuan was an absolute surprise.


    A surprise he dared not imagine. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°What do you plan to do next?¡± Dongfang Ji asked. ¡°Is there anything you need my help with?¡±


    ¡°Cultivate Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan replied. ¡°Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors can cultivate up to four Star Techniques¡­ once I master the Ultimate Body Refinement Technique, I should be able to cultivate five Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Once the Star Techniques are somewhat mastered, naturally the strength will surge.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just, the Star Techniques I¡¯m cultivating are mostly very demanding on external materials,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°Many treasures aren¡¯t available even in the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ I hope the Alliance Hierarch can help a bit.¡±


    ¡°Treasures?¡± Dongfang Ji laughed. ¡°Sure, I treat you and Fang Hai equally.¡±


    ¡°Whatever treasures you need, just let me know.¡±


    ¡°But I won¡¯t give them to you for free, you must use Seven Stars Points or equivalently valued treasures to exchange.¡±

 Chapter 642 - 353: The Secret of the Alliance Hierarch

    Chapter 642: Chapter 353: The Secret of the Alliance Hierarch


    ¡°I understand,¡± said Li Yuan, well aware of the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s rules. It was with Seven Stars Points that he had previously secured the treasure to propel his soul to the Semi-Divine Level.


    Whew!


    With a mere thought from Li Yuan, the potent Flying Heaven Origin Power already seeped from his fingertips, condensing to form a light screen beside him.


    First Rank Life possesses only the strength of the flesh.


    Second Rank Life begins to awaken the Star Meridian, allowing for basic use of Origin Power, though it is difficult to separate from the body and can at most cling to the outer layers.


    Third Rank Life can easily project Origin Power out of the body for a variety of long-range techniques such as exerting domains. However, the farther the power extends from the body, the more challenging it is to control and the weaker its might.


    ...


    As formidable as a Fourth Rank Semi-Divine, Origin Power can travel hundreds of kilometers from the body¡­ yet at such a distance, it¡¯s hard even for a Level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior to kill.


    At this moment, on the light screen activated by Li Yuan, there was a dense list of an enormous number of treasures, totaling over three hundred kinds.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, these are the treasures,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    Dongfang Ji examined the treasures on the light screen closely before he couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°This isn¡¯t just a few; are you planning to cultivate several Supreme Star Techniques?¡±


    ¡°Three,¡± Li Yuan hesitated before adding, ¡°plus two Seventh Layer Star Techniques.¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Indeed, the list of treasures on the screen was what Li Yuan had planned for the five Supreme Star Techniques he wanted to cultivate.


    Yet, compared to the Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡­ Five Nine Layers Star Veins were even more incredible. The cultivation of any Supreme Star Technique to the Third Rank Limit would require numerous treasures, including some exotic rarities.


    Go to ????????????????????.co


    Hence, Li Yuan kept some secrets to himself.


    ¡°Three?¡±


    ¡°Three Supreme Star Techniques?¡± Dongfang Ji was quite taken aback, but with his extensive knowledge, a brief analysis led him to feel that something was off with the list of treasures.


    Nevertheless, he did not expose Li Yuan.


    ¡°There are too many treasures here, and quite a few are very precious, with some that I¡¯ve never even heard of,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°So I can¡¯t assure you I can obtain them. It will take some time before I can tell you,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°Now that you¡¯ve become powerful enough, I won¡¯t keep you in the dark.¡±


    ¡°I have a secret channel for obtaining treasures, which is related to the Nine Mountains World and also to the Divine Realm¡­ Once you make your way through the Nine Mountains World, you will understand fully,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    He wasn¡¯t surprised that the Alliance Hierarch had additional channels for treasures¡­ but they were linked to the Nine Mountains World and the Divine Realm?


    Could it be that the Alliance Hierarch could directly communicate with the Divine Realm?


    Indeed, this was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°Through this treasure channel, it is normally possible to exchange for Fourth Rank Treasures and Fifth Rank Treasures, but your list has too many rarities,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and said, ¡°Wait a moment.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Dongfang Ji closed his eyes gently, as if trying to communicate, to see if the treasure exchange was feasible.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan waited patiently.


    A full quarter of an hour later.


    ¡°I have now confirmed your list of treasures,¡± Dongfang Ji opened his eyes and then gestured from afar.


    Immediately.


    On Li Yuan¡¯s treasure light screen, over ninety percent of the treasure names glowed.


    ¡°These treasures that are shining, I can fulfill your request,¡± Dongfang Ji said to Li Yuan, ¡°But those remaining, I can¡¯t get them for you.¡±


    Li Yuan swept his gaze over the list.


    The treasures that the Alliance Hierarch had marked could allow the cultivation of the three already possessed Supreme Star Techniques, the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Vein True Solution,¡± and ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    The two new Supreme Star Techniques he had chosen, ¡°Heavenly God Feather¡± and ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± lacked the most crucial treasures and couldn¡¯t be cultivated to the Third Rank Limit.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, for these exchangeable treasures, how many Seven Stars Points would be needed?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°As per the quantities you¡¯ve marked,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°a total of 8.5 million Seven Stars Points is required.¡±


    ¡°8.5 million Seven Stars Points?¡± Li Yuan widened his eyes, equivalent to 85 Fangshen Crystals.


    That was outrageous; that amount could be used to exchange for several Divine Artifacts.


    But after a brief consideration, Li Yuan relaxed. After all, these were for Supreme Star Techniques, and if he had chosen to practice Nine Layers Star Techniques, the needed points would have likely plummeted.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, if I were to exchange for these treasures, how many Seven Stars Points would it take?¡± Li Yuan waved his hand.


    Immediately, another light screen appeared beside Li Yuan.


    The number of treasures shown had dramatically decreased, with only less than two hundred items remaining. These were exactly the necessary treasure list for cultivating the three Supreme Star Techniques like ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°So much less?¡± Dongfang Ji noticed the new list of treasures and understood Li Yuan¡¯s intentions.


    If the corresponding Star Techniques could not be cultivated, then many treasures were temporarily unnecessary to exchange.


    ¡°Give me a moment,¡± Dongfang Ji pondered briefly before slowly saying, ¡°6.5 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    That was already significantly less than the 8.5 million Points.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, deduct from my Seven Stars Points,¡± said Li Yuan, ¡°I¡¯m approximately 3 million Points short. How much value would these treasures have?¡±


    Whew!


    Li Yuan gestured and out flew a Storage Treasure, which contained the spoils from when he had previously swept through the Second Level Star Realm, slaughtering those Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Whoosh~ A dark red light swept over the Storage Treasure, and in just a few seconds.


    ¡°These treasures are worth about 200,000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    Compared to the needed Seven Stars Points, the gap was still startling!


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, what if we add this?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but wave his hand, and a crystal orb materialized in the void, emanating strange fluctuations.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°Deity Visualization Method?¡± A flicker of surprise passed through Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes, and he closed his eyes slightly to sense it: ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s just an inferior Deity Visualization Method¡­ If you want to sell it, I can give you 2 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°2 million?¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Li Yuan now understood that the grade of the Deity Visualization Method was greatly related to the level of the gods¡­ The Visualization Methods left by Pseudo-Gods and True Gods naturally differ a lot.


    2 million Seven Stars Points was already higher than what Li Yuan had anticipated the value to be.


    To create a Visualization Method, gods would usually spend at least several months, or even several years¡­ The time spent was not important; the key issue was that it would consume their own soul origin power, severely affecting their cultivation.


    Therefore, unless there were significant benefits, such as for close kin, cherished friends, or highly valued disciples¡­ gods generally would not create Visualization Methods.


    ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll keep this Visualization Method for now.¡± Li Yuan shook his head and waved his hand to put away the Visualization Method.


    Immediately afterward, Li Yuan waved his hand again, and a pile of Divine Crystals with different auras appeared in midair.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Here are a total of 28 Fangshen Crystals.¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°Adding my Seven Stars Points and the treasures I showed earlier¡­ that should be about enough to purchase these treasures.¡±


    From the Ming Xu Star Realm, Li Yuan had obtained about 60 Fangshen Crystals of the Five Elements, plus some he had accumulated himself, totaling 65 Fangshen Crystals.


    It pained him to part with nearly half of them now.


    But wealth in the form of treasures was meant to be transformed into value, so Li Yuan did not hesitate much longer.


    ¡°You do have quite a few Divine Crystals,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile: ¡°Okay, what you have offered is enough.¡±


    Swoosh!


    A red light swept by, and ripples spread through space. Li Yuan¡¯s offered treasures and Divine Crystals had all disappeared into the void.


    ¡°Within seven days, I will deliver all the treasures you require to your Seven Stars Mountain Palace,¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°For now, until you have accumulated enough strength, you should continue to stay on Seven Stars Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    As a newly achieved Martial Artist of the Flying Heaven rank, he indeed had a lot of room for improvement and was not in a hurry to venture out.


    ¡°When you feel that your strength is sufficient and no longer wish to stay in Feixing, come to see me,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°By then, you should go back to Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Return to Blue Star?¡± Li Yuan was stirred.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan recalled the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s previous words, that when he achieved the Flying Heaven rank, he would take up the position of the principal.


    ¡°The Seven Great Planets have many dangerous locations to defend. The Demigods are scattered across the planets, and we have always been stretched thin, which is why wars break out so often,¡± Dongfang Ji explained: ¡°I had no demands of you in the past¡­ but once you possess the combat power of a Demigod, you will inevitably have to shoulder some responsibilities.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    For decades, the reason the entire civilization had remained relatively stable was inseparably linked to the many Demigods and Flying Heaven Martial Artists guarding the entrances to various Star Realms.


    As Li Yuan prepared to leave.


    ¡°You¡¯ve achieved the rank of Flying Heaven; I should give you a congratulatory gift,¡± Dongfang Ji suddenly said: ¡°Go to the left, inside there is a cavern. Within the cavern are some Star Technique inheritances. You may choose any one Star Technique to cultivate¡­ Detailed instructions will be provided.¡±


    ¡°Star Technique inheritance?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished, suddenly recalling something that Bai Shan Semi-Divine had mentioned before.


    There were incomplete Supreme Star Techniques within the Seven Star Civilization.


    But on the ¡®Star Technique exchange list¡¯ of the Seven Stars Treasury, he could only see up to Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    Could it be¡­


    ¡°Yes, Alliance Hierarch.¡± Li Yuan turned around, following the guidance of the Alliance Hierarch, quickly stepping through the void, and passing through a mysterious mist.


    Suddenly.


    Lights shone brightly before him, and a mysterious cavern truly appeared. The surface of the cavern was emitting a faint golden light, which seemed tacky but also carried a rather restrained might.


    ¡°This cavern itself is a treasure,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°Just how many treasures does the Alliance Hierarch have?¡±


    He walked straight into the cavern.


    Whoosh~


    ¡°Li Yuan, hello.¡± An array of light converged, taking the shape of an elderly man in a white robe, who greeted him with a smile: ¡°My surname is Yun. We¡¯ve communicated before.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Yun?¡± Li Yuan instantly recognized the man¡¯s identity.


    ¡°If you are here, it means that the Alliance Hierarch has truly acknowledged you; you now truly rank among the highest echelons of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the white-robed elder said with a smile: ¡°Most Demigods within the civilization are unaware of the ¡®Star Technique World.''¡±


    Star Technique World? Li Yuan curiously looked around the cavern, which was filled with densely packed Inheritance Crystal Stones.


    ¡°As instructed by the Alliance Hierarch, you may choose any one Star Technique inheritance,¡± the white-robed elder said with a smile: ¡°At the same time, once chosen, you will also directly receive the related treasures necessary for cultivation up to the Third Rank limit.¡±


    ¡°This is the gift from the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Take a look and see if there is any Star Technique you¡¯d like.¡± With a wave of his hand, the white-robed elder caused a screen of light to appear to his right, displaying a dense list of Star Technique names and detailed explanations.


    Li Yuan glanced at it.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Void Golden Body¡¯ (up to the Sixth Rank): Metal Vein Star Technique, Body Refining Category¡­¡±


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®True Solution of the Heaven Metal Star Vein¡¯ (up to the Sixth Rank): Metal Vein¡­¡±

 Chapter 643 - 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!

    Chapter 643: Chapter 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!


    On the light screen projection of Yun Lao Lie, each Star Technique was detailed in its description.


    For instance, which category of the Law of the Great Dao did it belong to, or how high the Life Level requirements were when cultivating to the limit of each stage; and what treasures were necessary to exchange for it, along with their value¡­the details were meticulous.


    ¡°The so-called Star Technique Cave Heaven of the Alliance Hierarch actually has five Nine Layer Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, ¡°and there are even more than a hundred Seventh Layer Star Techniques.¡±


    It was known, even Qiu Bingzun, who had the heritage of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, only kept four Nine Layer Star Techniques for himself¡­of course, this might be because Qiu Bingzun did not leave everything behind, given that he was only a companion of Liu Bing.


    But this was enough to illustrate the terrifying foundation of the Alliance Hierarch.


    Looking across the entire Dimensional Domain.


    ...


    Even forces like the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Crimson Sun Civilization probably could not compare.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also vaguely understood why, previously, it was rumored outside that the Alliance Hierarch and other half-Demigod civilizations had most practiced up to the Seventh Layer Star Techniques. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A man is not guilty for being frugal, the guilt lies in possessing a gem.


    ¡°According to the explanation above,¡± Void Golden Divine Body ¡°is an advancement of the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body,''¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°The Alliance Hierarch must belong to the Metal Lineage¡­he must have received a powerful inheritance that belongs to the Metal Lineage.¡± ¡°Just the secrets that my Seven Star Civilization has now exposed are enough to make various civilizations covet¡­If other civilizations knew we had so many Nine Layer Star Techniques, they would be even crazier.¡±


    ¡°A hundred years ago, the Alliance Hierarch slaughtered dozens of half-Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, deterring all sides,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But his strength must have been far inferior to what it is today.¡±


    Considering the growth rate of the Alliance Hierarch, he hasn¡¯t made a move in over a hundred years.


    Exactly what level has he reached? This is a mystery.


    Go to ????????????????????.co


    ¡°What exactly did the Alliance Hierarch obtain from the Nine Mountains World? Are the many treasures and top-tier Star Techniques obtained over a hundred years ago, or acquired steadily over recent decades?¡± Li Yuan had many conjectures.


    The stronger his own strength became, the more he could feel the might of the Alliance Hierarch.


    He was progressing, just like Principal Fang Hai, the Alliance Hierarch, and others were rapidly growing.


    ¡°These five Nine Layer Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Three belong to the Metal Lineage, one to the Earth Lineage, and one to the Wood Lineage,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°I have no talent in either the Metal or Wood Lineages, so there¡¯s no need to force it.¡±


    No one can excel at everything.


    The Law of the Great Dao is vast and unpredictable; even powerful beings typically choose one path and delve into it.


    Even Li Yuan, with his exceptional Star Vein Talent, was only progressing in the ways of Earth and Wind.


    A powerful person is someone who strives to strengthen their mightiest aspect even further.


    Li Yuan¡¯s remaining choice was clear.


    Moreover, this Nine Layer Star Technique also happened to complement Li Yuan¡¯s weaknesses and matched the direction of his insights on the True Meaning of Earth.


    It was known that Li Yuan¡¯s strongest move has always been ¡®Shadow Domain,¡¯ which combines a domain with clones for combat.


    As for the Seventh Layer Star Techniques? Li Yuan had not considered them. After all, in the two True God Heritages, there were plenty of Seventh Layer Star Techniques combined ¨C there was no need to inherit in this Star Technique World. If choosing, it was best to choose the Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    ¡°Yun Lao,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I have made my choice. I¡¯ll take the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Heaven and Earth River.''¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Yun Lao was not surprised by Li Yuan¡¯s choice.


    He knew Li Yuan¡¯s background; ordinary Star Techniques were definitely not something he lacked¡­only the Nine Layer Star Techniques could have enough attraction.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Yun Lao¡¯s hand, a Inheritance Crystal Stone emitting a strange light flew out from the depths of the cave.


    And headed straight for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Place your hand upon the Crystal Stone and silently feel,¡± Yun Lao said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand, palm downward on the Crystal Stone. Immediately, the Crystal Stone lit up brilliantly, transmitting a massive amount of information that rushed crazily into Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s powerful soul, it only took a moment to complete the reception.


    ¡°Such a powerful method.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, with the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth, Star Marks can actually be cultivated and fused into the Star Meridian like this,¡± Li Yuan marveled in his heart. ¡°Heaven and Earth as a river, the self as a dragon, roaming across heaven and earth.¡±


    His previous three Nine Layer Star Techniques, like ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± were aimed at exploring the potential of a Divine Body, while the other two auxiliary techniques mainly increased Law Compatibility¡­ none were directly used for combat.


    But ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± was different; it was a genuine combat secret skill, forming an overwhelmingly powerful domain for fighting the enemy.


    In order to cultivate it successfully, strong enough Star Marks were needed, and the requirements for Li Yuan¡¯s Earth Lineage were extremely high.


    ¡°If I could cultivate it to the Third Rank Limit.¡±


    ¡°In head-to-head combat or group battles, my might would increase dramatically,¡± Li Yuan felt an intense excitement in his heart. ¡°Once I succeed in cultivating ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ in the future¡­¡±


    As for the other Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Heavenly God Feather,¡± that was an Escape Method Star Technique, which Li Yuan was not particularly eager to cultivate.


    ¡°Even if I cultivate ¡®Heavenly God Feather,¡¯ my flying speed would not be anywhere near as fast as Xiaobing¡¯s; she is naturally the darling of the Wind Lineage,¡± Li Yuan silently thought to himself. ¡°If Xiaobing and I work together, it¡¯s completely possible for me to engage in head-on combat, while Xiaobing can better assist and restrain, and escape if necessary.¡±


    Supreme powerhouses might be adept in every aspect.


    But in their weaker moments, they need to focus on their strengths.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    ¡°The heritage acceptance is complete,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°The treasures required for cultivating ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit will be sent to you together with the other treasures you purchase.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Yun Lao,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Having learned so much, Li Yuan also had a rough understanding that the treasures needed to cultivate a Nine Layer Star Technique to the Third Rank Limit ranged from 10 to 40 Fangshen Crystals.


    Like Body Refining Category Star Techniques, they often required the most treasures.


    And the cultivation of ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± to the Third Rank Limit, roughly required treasures worth 25 Fangshen Crystals.

 Chapter 644 - 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_2

    Chapter 644: Chapter 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_2


    It was 2.5 million Seven Stars Points.


    One could say, the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s congratulatory gift was already quite substantial.


    ¡°Give thanks to the Alliance Hierarch,¡± the white-robed elder smiled, ¡°Advancing the Nine Layer Star Technique to the Third Rank Limit is not too extravagant in terms of cost, and the treasures required aren¡¯t numerous¡­ but once you step into the Semi-Divine Realm, wanting to cultivate to the Fourth Rank Limit, that will be difficult.¡±


    ¡°Like for those in the Body Refining Category, by then it¡¯d probably take over a thousand Fangshen Crystals,¡± the white-robed elder said sentimentally, ¡°And even if you had such wealth, in the Mortal Domain, you couldn¡¯t exchange it for some of the rarities.¡±


    Li Yuan was rendered speechless.


    Cultivate the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the Fourth Rank Limit? That was something he dared not even consider right now.


    ...


    According to the scriptures left by Qiu Bingzun, in the Divine Realm, many powerful beings were very poor¡­ Weapons, Secret Treasures, cultivating Star Techniques, purchasing opportunities to comprehend the Mysteries of the Laws, raising Spirit Beasts, buying Origin Power Weapons, and so on.


    All of these required an immense fortune.


    ¡°Save up slowly,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°If all else fails, I¡¯ll think about it after becoming Semi-Divine.¡±


    Becoming a Semi-Divine was still very distant for Li Yuan. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Currently, he had not even fully comprehended the True Meaning of Earth to Sixth Stage Perfection¡­ not even reaching the threshold to step into the Semi-Divine Realm.


    ¡­


    Upon leaving the cave.


    Go to ????????????????????.co


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I have accepted the inheritance,¡± Li Yuan declared respectfully.


    ¡°Do you have any other questions?¡± Dongfang Ji inquired.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, when may I travel to the Nine Leaves World?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    Being in the Flying Heaven Realm, one could travel to the Nine Leaves World.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°To make it through the Nine Leaves World, you need at least the combat power of a Semi-Divine Middle Rank, which is level 42,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°For you, it¡¯s not difficult. I estimate with a few more years of cultivation, when your Skill Realm is higher, that should be enough¡­ But the stronger you are, the greater your chances.¡±


    ¡°Like your Principal Fang Hai, he had level 42 strength and had reached a bottleneck, so I allowed him to go,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Level 40, level 41, were generally considered to be Semi-Divine Initial Rank.


    Level 42 to level 44 was generally considered Semi-Divine Middle Rank, one must step into the Threshold of the Law at the Law of the Great Dao (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), in order to cultivate to level 42 with Origin Power.


    From level 45 onwards, it was the Semi-Divine Peak realm; one must have Law Comprehension reaching Seventh Stage Middle Rank to cultivate to level 45 with Origin Power.


    ¡°When you will venture into the Nine Leaves World, I have a clear idea,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°When your strength is sufficient, I will notify you.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan walked back to Seven Star Mountain through the corridor.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the news of your breakthrough is still confidential,¡± Duanmu Hong said with a smile, ¡°We in the Martial Divine Hall¡¯s upper echelons will certainly not leak it, but you yourself must be careful. No one can guarantee that there aren¡¯t spies from Alien Races on my Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan replied, ¡°Thank you, Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to continue calling me Mountain Lord,¡± Duanmu Hong said earnestly, ¡°You are not my disciple. I haven¡¯t guided you in your cultivation; Mountain Lord is just a position¡­ In terms of strength, even before your breakthrough you were not inferior to me, and now you are definitely beyond me. Just call me Duanmu, or directly use my full name.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan did not insist further.


    The Circle of the Strong had its own set rules¡­ unless there was a clear lineage of mentorship or a close relationship during the growth process.


    For example, Fang Hai, even though he had stepped down as the Principal of Kunlun Martial University, was still regarded as the Principal in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Ru Haiyi, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, would always be the Dean.


    Otherwise, the way powerhouses addressed each other would often change with the fluctuations in strength.


    ¡­


    Inside the Quiet Chamber of the palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to continue Concealed Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Although I have just entered the Flying Heaven Realm, I am already considered invincible among my peers¡­ but my future enemies are destined not to be Flying Heaven Warriors, but Alien Race Semi-Divines,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°Upgrading from level 30 to level 37 only improved my Basic Strength, but in other areas, I¡¯ve hardly changed from when I was a Prime Warrior.¡± Li Yuan quietly contemplated, ¡°I need more time to accumulate.¡±


    Before the breakthrough, Li Yuan¡¯s direct combat power was comparable to a level 36 Star Master, relying on powerful Soul Attacks to sweep through many Second Level Star Realms, but when faced with Alien Race Semi-Divines¡­ once the opponent got close, Li Yuan dared not take a single blow and would directly use Secret Treasures.


    Because, in close combat, the former Li Yuan might have been instantly killed by a full-force Blow from a Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    A level 40 Semi-Divine¡¯s Basic Strength is tens of times that of a level 35 Flying Heaven Warrior, and if you include Law Comprehension and the difference in Star Techniques¡­ the strength of a level 40 Semi-Divine is hundreds or even thousands of times that of a level 35 Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Now, upon breaking through in one fell swoop, the mere increase in basics has made my direct combat power increase by a hundredfold, catapulting me to the threshold of Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Once the Star Technique cultivation is complete, and my strength soars again, I should be able to pass the test left by Ancient Torch Divine.¡±


    ¡°But this is still not enough,¡± Li Yuan had great ambitions.


    ¡°The biggest difference between me and the Principal is Law Comprehension,¡± Li Yuan was very clear about this, ¡°The Principal has been cultivating for decades longer than me, crossing into the Seventh Stage layer early on, especially after transforming into a Semi-Divine Level Soul, the Law of Water has likely reached the Seventh Stage Middle Rank already.¡±


    ¡°And I,¡±


    ¡°Wind, Earth, are just at the Sixth Stage High Rank, even the merging of True Intent is not comparable to the Seventh Stage,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    In terms of cultivation speed, he was much faster than the Principal.


    But the Principal¡¯s Cultivation Time was much longer than his.


    Time has astonishing magic.


    ¡°Effort.¡±


    ¡°Now that I¡¯ve stepped into the Flying Heaven, with a stronger bodily foundation, it makes sensing the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth even more clear,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation, ¡°Give me some more time, I will strive to make Wind and Earth both step into the Law Level, only then will I truly dominate in all directions, fearless among the Semi-Divine.¡±


    From awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace in his second year of high school to today, Li Yuan had only cultivated for a total of nine years.


    Next,


    Upon achieving the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and the ¡°True Solution of the Heaven Wind Star Vein¡± to the Third Rank Limit¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s speed of comprehending the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth would increase even more.

    ¡°`


    If I had another ten years, Li Yuan believed he could rival a Semi-Divine Peak in strength even without breaking through to become Semi-Divine.


    ¡­


    Five days later, Li Yuan received a notification from Elder Yun.


    He had received all sorts of exotic treasures necessary for cultivating a few Star Techniques.


    No one was arranged to deliver them; instead, Li Yuan was asked to personally collect them from the Alliance Hierarch¡­ Treasures worth millions of Seven Stars Points were not appropriate to be escorted by a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ...


    Upon arriving at that mysterious space, he meticulously checked the treasures.


    After confirming everything was correct,


    Li Yuan took the treasures back to the Seven Stars Mountain Palace and officially began his first solitary cultivation session since becoming Flying Heaven.


    ¡­In the Ancient Divine Palace, inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    ¡°I¡¯ll start with cultivating the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Once the body is strong, cultivating other Star Techniques will be much easier.¡±


    Whirr~


    With a wave of his hand, a dense myriad of exotic treasures appeared in the surrounding void, each emitting a rich aura of Origin Power.


    Go to ????????????????????.co


    Predominantly Earth System treasures, supplemented with Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire categories.


    ¡°Refinement.¡±


    ¡°Absorption.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s powerful Soul Power cooperated with his Star Meridian to directly initiate the Method of the ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s body instantly generated a tremendous attracting force, beginning to frantically absorb the essence contained in the exotic treasures from all directions. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, these treasures, primarily of Fourth Rank, couldn¡¯t withstand Li Yuan¡¯s absorptive refinement.


    Quickly, the quintessential essence of the five elements continuously merged into the limbs and bones of Li Yuan¡¯s body, making him even stronger.


    At the same time, with the essence of these treasures, Li Yuan¡¯s Mental Consciousness began to inscribe Third Rank All Things Star Marks on his Star Meridian.


    It wasn¡¯t too difficult.


    ¡°In terms of True Intent Comprehension, my cultivation of ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit is still somewhat forced.¡±


    ¡°Luckily!¡±


    ¡°My body and Soul are strong enough,¡± Li Yuan thought. If he hadn¡¯t undergone Origin Power infusion three times and was only at level 32 or 33, it probably would have been difficult to cultivate.


    But at level 37, he was completely sufficient.


    Like many powerhouses at level 35, even if they fortuitously awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein, without a strong enough body, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique.


    Star Meridian and Star Technique are complementary.


    As time passed, it took Li Yuan almost half a month to finally cultivate the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s body instantly grew ten meters tall, his Divine Body shining with dazzling light, emitting a vast and boundless aura. This formidable presence was definitely enough to take any Flying Heaven Warrior¡¯s breath away.


    Gradually,


    The light retracted, but the lifeforce radiated by Li Yuan became even more terrifying, having fully adapted to this mighty power.


    ¡°¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ at Third Rank Limit, Body Refining Star Technique at level 27.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed, ¡°It is indeed worthy of being a Nine Layer Body Refining Technique.¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan suddenly clapped his hands together, and instantly the air was intensely compressed, exploding with a terrifying roar as if it were a cosmic explosion¡­ Fortunately, the Divine Crystal Chamber was sturdy enough.


    ¡°With one slap,¡±


    ¡°Many level 40 Semi-Divine, even if they cultivate the Body Refining Star Technique, typically cannot reach the Fourth Rank Limit in strength¡­ they are no match for me,¡± Li Yuan grinned, ¡°And if it¡¯s a level 40 Semi-Divine who has not cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique?¡±


    Daring a head-on confrontation, they would probably be slapped to death by Li Yuan.


    Moreover!


    Li Yuan was only at level 37.1 now. Once he cultivated to level 38.9, his Basic Strength would only grow more terrifying¡­ At that time, slaying a Semi-Divine at the Initial Rank would be a piece of cake.


    And that was just one Supreme Star Technique.


    If there were more.


    ¡°Killing a Semi-Divine is a legend for the majority of Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan felt quite calm inside.


    But for Li Yuan? If he couldn¡¯t manage to slay a Semi-Divine, that would be the real joke.


    ¡­


    After successfully cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan spent nearly a month,


    Consecutively bringing the ¡°Heaven Wind Star Vein True Solution¡± and ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    These two auxiliary Star Techniques required a high bodily standard to cultivate to the Perfection Level¡­ but for Li Yuan, who had already cultivated the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, it was a breeze.


    ¡°Indeed!¡±


    ¡°Just as I anticipated, reaching the Third Rank Limit with these two auxiliary Nine Layer Star Techniques greatly increased my affinity with the mysterious pulsations of the Earth and Wind elements,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone.


    ¡­


    However, it was only with the cultivation of the fourth Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± that Li Yuan truly encountered hardship.


    It was easy to cultivate to the First Rank Limit and the Second Rank Limit.


    ¡°To condense the Third Rank ¡®Heaven and Earth River Star Mark,¡¯ is too difficult,¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°My True Meaning of Earth Comprehension isn¡¯t high enough.¡±


    ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± leans more towards combat Techniques and requires a higher level of True Intent Comprehension compared to ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°I can only spend more time.¡±


    ¡°On one hand, striving to advance into Sixth Stage Perfection in Earth¡¯s True Meaning as soon as possible, and on the other hand, wear it down with time,¡± Li Yuan was not in a hurry, ¡°I have already cultivated it to level 19, and it can come into effect during combat.¡±


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors take many years to cultivate Sixth Layer Star Techniques, let alone Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    Even more so for a Nine Layer Star Technique. Li Yuan was very patient.


    Before long,


    Li Yuan easily brought another one of his Seventh Layer Star Techniques, ¡°Nine Shadows Clone,¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    Lacking key treasures to cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± Li Yuan could not idle.


    Although ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± can¡¯t match up to ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± it could still greatly enhance Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡­


    Time flowed like water, and after cultivating several Star Techniques to the Third Rank Limit, Li Yuan continued to dedicate himself to cultivation.


    Continuing to ponder the Third Rank Star Marks of ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±¡­ Inscribing the Star Marks for over one hundred thousand Life Stars was a colossal project, mainly because Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was not high enough.


    ¡°`

    Chapter 646: Chapter 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_4


    On the other hand,


    Li Yuan was relying on treasures such as the Thousand Illusions Formation Map, the Map of Myriad Stars, and the Inheritance Imprint left by Qiu Bingzun, constantly pondering and refining the True Meaning of Wind and the True Meaning of Earth.


    And he kept trying to integrate the mysteries of these two True Intents into his Spear Technique.


    Time flew by, and before long it was March of 2051.


    The Seven Star Mountain enjoyed spring all year round, but the vast lands below were already covered in snow and ice.


    In front of the palace,


    ...


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged, facing the vast emptiness, feeling the mysterious fluctuations between heaven and earth.


    Hum~Hum~


    Streams of earthy yellow air currents were born out of thin air, swirling around him, the air currents so dense they emitted a terrifying aura.


    A kilometer away,


    ¡°How long has Li Yuan been like this?¡± Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°The last time I came to see him, he was already like this, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been almost half a month now,¡± Lin Lanyue replied, ¡°but nobody can get near him.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t get close?¡± Dantai Feng asked, puzzled.


    Go to ????????????????????.co


    ¡°Dantai, try it and you¡¯ll see,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a teasing smile, ¡°but remember not to use Star Technique or be too reckless¡­ getting hurt or disturbing Li Yuan would be bad.¡±


    Now intrigued, Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help responding, his figure darted hundreds of meters in a flash, approaching the earthy yellow air currents that encircled Li Yuan.


    As soon as he approached within a five hundred meter radius,


    Whoosh~


    Those strands of earthy yellow air currents, as if alive, surged viciously towards Dantai Feng.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s face changed, and he immediately retreated explosively, with a thought, his Battle Suit covered his whole body.


    Boom!


    The air currents moved like dragons, wild and unruly, striking Dantai Feng with lightning speed, sending him flying back a hundred meters, crashing into a row of large trees.


    He flew up from the forest in a woeful state. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This is too exaggerated,¡± Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Is this just the power of heaven and earth he¡¯s invoking?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Tian Dazhuang remarked, ¡°This is just an unconscious counterattack during Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation¡­ If he were to release his full power, I suspect, any ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior would be instantly crushed to death by these air currents.¡±


    The surrounding members of Seven Star Mountain all nodded in agreement.


    The scene of Li Yuan¡¯s quiet cultivation had become a recent attraction of Seven Star Mountain and had spread far and wide.


    Of course, with Li Yuan¡¯s aura concealed, people like Tian Dazhuang and Dantai Feng were unable to sense that Li Yuan had achieved the state of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    As for the comprehension of True Intent?


    The outside world had long recognized Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of True Intent as reaching the Demigod level¡­ The power of heaven and earth he invoked was strong, but within everyone¡¯s expectations.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Li Yuan is awake,¡± someone said in a low voice, pointing towards the distance.


    Everyone instinctively looked over.


    Before the palace, Li Yuan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed as if asleep, suddenly raised his hand slightly and swung it outward, as if an artist was splashing ink.


    So carefree and unrestrained!


    But the earthy yellow air currents that had been swirling around him, following the wave of his hand, converged from within a radius of several hundred meters instantly, coalescing into a beam of light that shot out.


    It was as if a marksman had made a casual thrust.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The light pierced the sky, leaving a dazzling, long-lasting trail tens of kilometers long in the void.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°This must be tens of kilometers at least.¡±


    ¡°A casual wave that affects over ten kilometers?¡± The group of Seven Star Mountain members, who had originally come to watch the spectacle, were stunned and shocked.


    ¡°Seventh Stage level.¡±


    Standing inconspicuously in a corner was Alicia. A cry of astonishment echoed in her mind, ¡°The mystery of this move has definitely reached the Seventh Stage level.¡±

    ¡°Seventh Stage?¡±


    Alicia was shocked in her heart, ¡°Xiao Xing, are you sure? Seventh Stage is truly stepping into the door of Laws, and even for a Demigod, many have not stepped into the threshold of Laws.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no mistake; his pointer bore no fluctuations of Origin Power, yet the attack range reached a staggering tens of kilometers,¡± the young voice continued. ¡°If it were merely the Mysteries of True Intent invoking the Power of Heaven and Earth, the attack range would be at most one or two kilometers, even for Sixth Stage Perfection.¡±


    ¡°I can confirm this point,¡± Xiao Xing said gravely.


    Alicia couldn¡¯t help but nod; she had cultivated for many years, already condensed her True Intent, was a top-level Prime Warrior, and practiced very powerful Star Technique¡­ In terms of strength, she was not inferior to Wu Manong from the past, and she still had a broad perspective.


    ¡°Seventh Stage.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Prime Warrior, Semi-Divine Level Soul, Semi-Divine Level Law Comprehension,¡± Xiao Xing remarked with emotion. ¡°Truly a monster, even in the Divine Realm of my earlier years, I have never seen such a monstrous creature.¡±


    ¡°The previous Fang Hai, Flying Heaven slaughtering a Demigod, was horrifying enough.¡±


    ¡°The current Li Yuan is even more monstrous than Fang Hai,¡± Xiao Xing said solemnly. ¡°And this Li Yuan¡¯s Star Vein Talent is also extremely high, he must have already achieved Seven Star Meridians¡­¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Seven Star Meridians?¡± a glint flickered in Alicia¡¯s eyes.


    She had only just awakened to Five-Star Meridian, aiming for Second Rank Six Star Meridians.


    She understood the significance of Second Rank Seven Star Meridians.


    ¡°Strange.¡±


    Go to ????????????????????.co


    ¡°His foundation is deep enough; why hasn¡¯t he broken through yet?¡± Xiao Xing wondered. ¡°Logically, he should have ascended to Flying Heaven by now; remaining at Second Rank doesn¡¯t make much sense.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, Li Yuan has higher aspirations,¡± Alicia responded.


    ¡­


    In front of the palace on the square.


    ¡°Cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit, the speed of grasping the mysteries of heaven and earth has indeed surged greatly,¡± Li Yuan watched a wisp of light and sighed inwardly, ¡°In just a few months, I have once again broken through a bottleneck, bringing my True Intent of Earth to Sixth Stage Perfection.¡±


    Half a month ago, Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent of Earth had broken through.


    Over this half month, he had been continuously trying to combine the breakthroughs in Earth and Wind True Intent¡­ Today, he finally succeeded.


    This perfect combination transformed Li Yuan¡¯s technique might¡­ It was already comparable to the initial level of the Seventh Stage.


    ¡°Using a finger as a spear.¡±


    ¡°This Spear Technique should be considered as entering the threshold of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ barely achieving the first form,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± was the Spear Technique that most suited him among the many secret techniques left behind by Qiu Bingzun. This was a Spear Technique that combined Earth and Wind.


    Li Yuan had chosen it early on.


    However, this secret technique of Spear Technique demanded a person¡¯s True Intent of Earth or Wind to reach Sixth Stage Perfection to merely enter¡­ Therefore, it was not until half a month ago that he truly began to practice it. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Creating his own moves was most compatible with himself and had the greatest might.


    But when his own strength was weak, having the guidance of seniors¡¯ secret techniques often made progress fastest.


    ¡°If it were an ordinary Demigod level Spear Technique, it wouldn¡¯t be much help to me,¡± Li Yuan felt deeply moved, ¡°but the set of Spear Technique kept by Senior Qiu is left behind by a True God at the peak.¡±


    ¡°To practice it to the end points directly to the Space Law.¡±


    It suited Li Yuan extremely well.


    With such a powerful Spear Technique, how could Li Yuan waste time, pondering over Spear Techniques himself?


    ¡°Wait until my realm is high enough.¡±


    ¡°To reach the creator¡¯s level of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ then trying to create my own Law Technique wouldn¡¯t be too late,¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t in a hurry, learning from seniors and powerful figures was not shameful.


    And now, the first form of ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ had extremely strong might, enough to match the mysterious Seventh Stage.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be long.¡±


    ¡°My True Intent of Wind should be able to reach Sixth Stage Perfection, at that time merging it into the Spear Technique, should make my Spear Technique¡¯s might stronger,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    This process of feeling oneself become stronger step by step was really very comforting.


    ¡°This move is likely seen by many members of Seven Star Mountain,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the distance, seeing many good friends.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t worried.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had already spread his information throughout the entire Dimensional Domain, it was already recognized that his Spear Technique had reached Demigod level¡­ Even exposing his Spear Technique reaching Seventh Stage was quite normal.


    Just couldn¡¯t expose that he had achieved Eight Star Pulse, having reached Level 37.


    ¡°My cultivated secret technique, with its retracted aura, unless one has a Semi-Divine Level Soul, I fear only the likes of Duanmu Mountain Master when close, could sense something,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The chances of exposure were very, very low.


    ¡­


    And after greeting a group of good friends, Li Yuan returned to his palace¡¯s Quiet Chamber.


    Activated the Origin Power Array.


    In these recent months, Li Yuan¡¯s palace¡¯s Origin Power Array had already been reinforced by Duanmu Hong and others, ensuring no one could pry.


    With a thought, Li Yuan had entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the palace.


    ¡°Sister, I want to try the third trial again,¡± Li Yuan declared loudly; although he preliminarily endured the Ancient Divine Palace, many secrets within the palace were still controlled by Gu You.


    Whoosh!


    Light and shadow converged, a barefoot girl in white appeared, smiling and saying, ¡°Several months have passed, you had produced the All Things Divine Body and didn¡¯t even break through, now you come, looking like your strength has improved¡­ The authority for Hundred Battles Arena has been activated.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded, his figure moved, and he quickly flew into the distant corridor, entering the Hundred Battles Arena.


    Hundred Battles Arena, mainly Hundred Battles Arena.


    In the past, Li Yuan used to come to the Hundred Battles Arena often, and sparred with many Flying Heaven Golden Armored Warriors here, grinding himself.


    But after becoming demi-god, the Flying Heaven Golden Armored Warriors had no challenge, so he seldom came.


    Whoom~


    Li Yuan flew down into the Hundred Battles Arena, only to feel the surrounding view rapidly expand, a seemingly only one hundred yards size arena reached ten kilometers in his perception¡­ This was the use of Space Law.

 Chapter 648 - 335 Divine Artifact and Secret Treasure_2

    Chapter 648: Chapter 335 Divine Artifact and Secret Treasure_2


    ¡°The third trial,¡± Li Yuan looked toward the distant arena.


    Suddenly¡ª¡ª


    A massive amount of purple liquid emerged from the ground, which rapidly ascended and finally condensed into the form of a burly purple-armored warrior. Standing approximately thirty feet tall, he resembled a War God, radiating a robust aura, holding a colossal Combat Saber in his hand.


    ¡°Just a few months passed and you are back?¡± The purple-armored warrior stared at Li Yuan with a cold and intelligent gaze.


    ¡°I naturally had to come.¡±


    Li Yuan revealed a smile, ¡°Big guy, actually, I have been confident in defeating you for a while, but I¡¯ve been waiting until now. Do you know why?¡±


    ...


    ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t care why,¡± the purple-armored warrior replied icily, ¡°It seems you are very confident, I hope your strength justifies your arrogance.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, your end won¡¯t be any better than last time.¡±


    Boom! The purple-armored warrior immediately made his move, his speed escalating to a terrifying level as he charged towards Li Yuan like lightning.


    Ten kilometers?


    For a Semi-Divine Rank expert, this distance was too brief, merely requiring a blink or two to close in.


    ¡°Nice timing,¡± Li Yuan smiled and thought.


    Boom!


    Centered around Li Yuan, an invisible soul fluctuation burst forth instantaneously, silently invading the purple-armored warrior¡¯s mind, attempting to influence his consciousness.


    Soul Secret Technique¡ª¡±Mind Soul¡±!


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Soul Secret Technique, you used it last time, and it didn¡¯t affect me, and now again¡­ hmm?¡± The purple-armored warrior shouted angrily, but a hint of confusion flashed through his eyes.


    He was trapped!


    Little did he know, when they fought the last time Li Yuan had just made a breakthrough, but months passed, and Li Yuan not only advanced his Star Technique to its current limit¡­ but also enhanced two Soul Secret Techniques to become even more formidable.


    After all, breaking through realms and enhanced comprehension of Heaven and Earth had taken Li Yuan¡¯s soul studies to the next level.


    Now, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Secret Technique could still not affect a Semi-Divine Peak expert.


    But for a purple-armored warrior who was merely at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank, it could still cause some disturbance.


    ¡°Wake up!¡±


    ¡°Wake up!¡± The purple-armored warrior roared in his heart, realizing he had been tricked, his inner fury screaming as he almost instantly regained clarity.


    But the next moment!


    The expression on the purple-armored warrior¡¯s face changed, because what met him head-on was an immensely large fist.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    That punch, containing terrifying might, brutally smashed onto his head, nearly knocking him senseless and causing him to stagger, nearly kneeling.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± The purple-armored warrior bellowed, surprise and anger surging in his heart as he was about to desperately retreat.


    ¡°Smack~¡±


    Another slap harshly landed, sending him flying backward, the terrifying impact within the slap causing the purple-armored warrior¡¯s body to seethe, his energy crazily draining.


    He, known as having an Undying Body, yet the damages exerted would insanely drain his internal energy.


    Drained energy meant his defeat.


    ¡°How could his strength have improved so much?¡± the purple-armored warrior exclaimed in shock and anger, ¡°It¡¯s only been a short time?¡±


    Last time they fought, he had an absolute advantage.


    ¡°Slash!¡±


    Just as the purple-armored warrior was about to swing his Combat Saber at Li Yuan, he saw Li Yuan dodge the blow in a flash, then another slap harshly landed on the purple-armored warrior¡¯s face.


    Too painful!


    Too fast!


    The purple-armored warrior couldn¡¯t dodge Li Yuan¡¯s slaps.


    ¡°Retreat.¡± The purple-armored warrior was about to retreat.


    ¡°Heaven and Earth River, Bind!¡± Li Yuan thought, finally unleashing the Domain Star Technique he had perfected to level 24, the first time he had ever used this technique.


    Rumble rumble~


    From within Li Yuan, an earthy yellow aura burst forth from nothing, majestic like a river, containing immensely terrifying might as it surged in all directions, quickly entwining and binding the purple-armored warrior, causing his speed to sharply decrease.


    ¡°What a strong bind, it¡¯s a Domain Secret Technique.¡± The purple-armored warrior¡¯s expression changed again.


    Whoosh!


    Inside the Domain, Li Yuan moved with incredible ease and ferocity.


    Smack smack smack smack! Li Yuan fully unleashed, slap after slap crazily coming down, the purple-armored warrior, bound by the Domain, couldn¡¯t even dodge.


    He wanted to resist, but affected by the Soul Secret Technique, he occasionally lost focus.


    He was simply powerless to resist.


    Just like that.


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s barrage of fists and slaps, after attacking more than fifty times, he finally depleted the energy of the Purple-Armored Warrior¡­ At last, he transformed into a purple light and dissipated.


    Victory!


    ¡°Haha, exhilarating! Exhilarating!¡± Li Yuan laughed loudly, ¡°Take that for your arrogance last time, slapping me.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A figure in white appeared out of nowhere, somewhat helplessly saying, ¡°Little brother, have you not come to challenge for so long just to advance your strength further to slap him a few more times?¡±


    ¡°Exactly,¡± Li Yuan agreed naturally, smiling, ¡°If I had just cultivated the All Things Divine Body, I could have beaten him too, but I wouldn¡¯t have been this at ease¡­ but now with my realm further advanced, even without using a weapon, I can easily suppress him and beat him however I like.¡±


    ¡°Sister, slapping someone really does feel awesome,¡± Li Yuan grinned and said.


    Gu You chuckled.


    But she had to admit.


    During these months, Li Yuan¡¯s strength had indeed improved greatly.


    Now, a Level 40 Semi-Divine Puppet faced Li Yuan with no power to fight back.


    Li Yuan killed it by slapping it with just his hands, not even using a weapon.


    ¡°Sister, having passed the third trial, I should be able to receive the third gift left by Master, right?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s in the treasure?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t disappoint you,¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°Come with me.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Soon after, the two returned to the Main Hall, which was as deserted as usual.


    ¡°The third gift Father left for you comes in two types, listen carefully and decide for yourself,¡± the girl said to Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, two gifts?


    Another choice to make?


    ¡°The first gift is purely wealth, 1000 Fangshen Crystals, which you can use to buy what you need for your cultivation,¡± Gu You said.


    1000 Fangshen Crystals? Li Yuan held his breath.


    This is a fortune!


    Although he knew that the treasures left by Ancient Torch Divine would be more precious,


    Li Yuan hadn¡¯t expected that just the Flying Heaven Level gift would consist of 1000 Fangshen Crystals.


    Consider this, an ordinary Semi-Divine, all their wealth and treasures combined would probably amount to just a few dozen Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°And the second gift?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°The second gift is only 100 Fangshen Crystals,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°I will select two Divine Artifacts that suit you based on what you need.¡± S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Additionally, there is a very strong Slaughter Treasure, which can kill 99% under the Divine level, even Semi-Divine Limit Experts will die if they don¡¯t have special protective treasures,¡± Gu You said, ¡°The choice is yours.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine Limit Experts will die?¡± Li Yuan was secretly amazed, such a rare and valuable secret treasure was truly priceless.


    Normal Pseudo-Gods shouldn¡¯t be able to produce such a secret treasure.


    Li Yuan wanted both gifts, but he also understood¡­ These powerful beings raising successors wouldn¡¯t prepare everything before they¡¯ve grown.


    Usually, they would prepare only a part, the rest would have to be fought for by the successor themselves.


    If everything was given, it would be easy for people to lose their fighting spirit.


    ¡°So essentially, I would exchange 900 Fangshen Crystals for two Divine Artifacts and a secret treasure?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    A Semi-Divine Artifact¡¯s value ranged from 0.1 to 1 Fangshen Crystal.


    While a Fifth Rank Divine Artifact, most are worth between 10 and 100 Fangshen Crystals, but some extremely valuable Fifth Rank Divine Artifacts could be worth hundreds or even thousands of Fangshen Crystals.


    Due to their rarity.


    ¡°No matter which Divine Artifact,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°just that secret treasure alone is worth several hundred Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    Fangshen Crystals can be earned in many ways.


    But such a powerful secret treasure is definitely a key asset, in the Mortal Domain, it would be hard to buy even with Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Second option,¡± Li Yuan made his decision.


    ¡°Good,¡± Gu You had a smile, and with a wave of her hand, an ethereal blue lotus platform appeared out of thin air in the void, emitting a mysterious aura, though it was not large.


    It could only accommodate one person sitting down.


    ¡°A lotus platform? This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with astonishment, he couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Why do I feel like it might not be a real object?¡±


    ¡°You sense correctly,¡± Gu You smiled, ¡°During the Flying Heaven Stage, it is the phase where you¡¯re most vulnerable to dangers, thus, Father prepared these treasures.¡±


    ¡°Both the Divine Artifacts are also oriented towards preservation of life.¡±


    ¡°This one is called the ¡®Thousand Heart Lotus Platform,¡¯ a Pseudo-God Artifact to protect the soul.¡±

 Chapter 649 - 356: Nine Yellow Dragons! Liu Bing Breakthrough

    Chapter 649: Chapter 356: Nine Yellow Dragons! Liu Bing Breakthrough


    ¡°A Divine Artifact that guards the soul?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, a treasured relic indeed!


    Typical Pseudo-God Artifacts, like knives, spears, swords and the like, can be exchanged for a mere dozen or so Fangshen Crystals.


    But a Secret Treasure that guards the soul, made of materials extremely difficult to find, can hardly be nurtured by the ordinary heaven and earth.


    According to the Divine Realm data given by Qiu Bingzun, to create a soul-class Divine Artifact, firstly, the materials are hard to find, and secondly, the artifact refining technique requires utmost precision, which also renders this type of treasure extremely valuable.


    A soul-class Pseudo-God Artifact costs at least several hundred Fangshen Crystals, if not over a thousand.


    ¡°In my father¡¯s expectations, his direct disciple should only be able to get through the third challenge after stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm and cultivating for dozens of years,¡± the girl sighed. ¡°He certainly didn¡¯t expect that you would be able to easily pass through so soon after your breakthrough.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°However, you accumulated considerable depth during your Prime Warrior stage,¡± Gu You said. ¡°The might of the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform that can be unleashed is mainly related to your own Soul Will.¡±


    ¡°Soul Will?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°If you only had the spiritual power and willpower of a Flying Heaven Peak,¡± Gu You said, ¡°then this Thousand Heart Lotus Platform would only be able to unleash a very small part of its might, enough to let you face a Semi-Demigod without fear of their attacks.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Just like a great hammer, which would exhibit vastly different might in the hands of an ordinary person compared to a master of the Hammer Technique.


    ¡°But your soul is now strong, almost like a Pseudo-God¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Your willpower is estimated to be comparable to the peak of Semi-Divine,¡± Gu You said. ¡°Therefore, once you refine the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform, it will be enough to let you easily withstand the soul attacks of ordinary Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    ¡°In the early stages of cultivation, most do not delve deep into soul research, and their souls are not strong enough, making it difficult to shake the enemy¡¯s body and soul combination,¡± Gu You said. ¡°For instance, in the Mortal Domain, Semi-Demigods generally cannot soul-annihilate Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, feeling a profound connection.


    His Semi-Divine Peak level soul, despite practicing many secret techniques, could not soul-annihilate a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°But as one progresses further, especially after ascending to godhood, divinities have stronger souls and deeper research into souls, resulting in more and more experts proficient in soul attacks,¡± Gu You said. ¡°For example, the Heavenly Gods, even when widely separated by time and space, can easily soul-annihilate True Gods.¡±


    ¡°Even among those of the same rank, some super-existences skilled in soul attacks have the potential to annihilate their enemies.¡±


    ¡°For instance, there¡¯s a highly renowned Heavenly Divine in the Divine Realm, known as ¡®Lu Ming,¡¯ the contemporary City Lord of a Starry Sky Ancient City called Falling Star City,¡± Gu You spoke with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes. ¡°Back in the day, my father witnessed Lu Ming, with the Falling Star Bow, an Inheritance Divine Artifact of the ancient city, annihilate a Heavenly Divine from billions of miles away with a soul attack.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, holding his breath.


    Lu Ming, a Heavenly Divine? Starry Sky Ancient City? A soul attack that annihilated a Heavenly Divine?


    Indeed sounds formidable!


    ¡°Current City Lord?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, there are many Starry Sky Ancient Cities, each with a long legacy and profound heritage,¡± Gu You said with a smile. ¡°Heavenly Divines can only live for three hundred thousand years¡­ naturally, there is a change of city lords every few eras.¡±


    ¡°This Lu Ming, his rise was also filled with hardships¡­ He likes to make friends with heroes from all sides, so in the future, if you go to the Divine Realm, there is a chance you might meet him,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan silently noted it down.


    The Divine Realm is vast, and some things in it still seem a bit distant to him.


    ¡°Anyway.¡±


    ¡°The further you go, the more you need to pay attention to soul defense,¡± Gu You said. ¡°This Thousand Heart Lotus Platform is one of the most important treasures your father left for you.¡±


    ¡°After all.¡±


    ¡°Even my father only had one True God Instrument for soul defense back in the day, which he used himself and didn¡¯t place in the Ancient Divine Palace,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Back when the True Phoenix Divine escaped with the treasures after Nirvana, the Ancient Torch Divine had not yet fallen, so naturally, he wouldn¡¯t have placed his personal treasured relics in the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ The Ancient Divine Palace was just one of Ancient Torch Divine¡¯s contingency plans.


    ¡°This Thousand Heart Lotus Platform, you¡¯ll have to nurture and refine it yourself over time,¡± Gu You said. ¡°Put it away.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, an invisible wave of soul power pulled the nearly illusory platform directly into his own Spiritual World.


    He quickly imprinted his spiritual mark and succeeded in taking ownership.


    Whew!


    The majority of his soul consciousness immediately gathered and formed a seated figure on the platform.


    ¡°If the past was like my soul consciousness was a refugee, resisting enemy attacks only with itself,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now with this Thousand Heart Lotus Platform, it¡¯s as if I¡¯ve entered a fortress, and my soul defense has dramatically increased.¡±


    No wonder Gu You placed so much importance on it.


    ¡°The second artifact is a Divine Artifact Battle Armor,¡± Gu You waved his hand again, and light flickered in the void, slowly descending before finally landing in front of Li Yuan.


    This was a set of black Battle Armor that could perfectly cover the whole body, emanating a powerful aura. Merely suspended there, it exuded an unshakable presence.


    Solid as a mountain!


    ¡°This battle armor?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened; though he had never seen a Divine Artifact, he had seen similar descriptions in Divine Realm data, and even some patterns¡­ But Li Yuan had the strange impression that this Divine Artifact Battle Armor was different from those ordinary Divine Artifact Battle Armor worth twenty Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Do you perceive it?¡± Gu You revealed a smile. ¡°Refine it first, and once you succeed, you will naturally come to know.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind stirred, as he channeled Origin Power into the Combat Armor, attempting to claim it as his own, but immediately met with a fierce resistance.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Artifact, it normally takes someone at the mid-stage of Semi-Divine to have a hope of refining it,¡± Gu You said. ¡°This Combat Armor is an Earth Divine Instrument, and your comprehension of the Law of Earth is not yet deep¡­ It¡¯ll probably take some time.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded. According to common sense, after overcoming the third inheritance, one should have already crossed the Threshold of the Law of Earth¡­ He had managed to pass through easily with his superior Star Technique.


    Time passed by.


    After a full hour, Li Yuan managed to subdue the Spiritual Nature of the Combat Armor with his strong Soul Power and finally, with difficulty, made a tenuous claim of ownership by deploying the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯


    Boom!


    A torrent of information contained within the Combat Armor surged into Li Yuan like a tide, all concerning the various aspects of the Combat Armor.


    ¡°Nine Dragons Xuan Armor? This is an amazing Divine Artifact!¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he fully understood the impressiveness of this artifact.


    The Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, if judged solely on Defense, was just a mid-standard of Fifth Rank, a rather common level among Pseudo-God Artifacts.


    However, its uniqueness lay in the fact that its outer layer held nine ¡®Souls of the Yellow Dragon.¡¯


    The Yellow Dragon, a Divine Beast of the Earth System in the Divine Realm, is innately Divine, existing at the same level as the True Phoenix and Heaven Snake.


    The Nine Dragons Xuan Armor contains nine Yellow Dragon essences, which are actually just parts of the Yellow Dragon¡¯s bloodline, infused by an Artifact Refiner who extracted the ¡®Soul Spirits¡¯ of nine Semi-Divine beings and merged them into the Combat Armor.


    ¡°Activate!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor instantly covered his entire body.


    Roar~ Roar~ Roar~


    Nine Yellow Dragons roared forth from the Combat Armor, stretching out like nine mighty rivers, raging within a hundred meters of Li Yuan¡­ This was him holding back; if he were to fully unleash it, the attack range of the Yellow Dragons would encompass more than ten kilometers.


    The nine Yellow Dragons spread out to attack multiple targets.


    Together, their Might was even greater.


    ¡°This is almost like a First Layer Domain Secret Technique,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but remark.


    The key was that the nine Yellow Dragons from the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor could perfectly synergize with Li Yuan¡¯s Domain Star Technique ¡®Heaven and Earth River,¡¯ with the nine Yellow Dragons roaming and attacking within it, greatly increasing their Might.


    ¡°Such Combat Armor is worth at least 500 Fangshen Crystals,¡± Li Yuan said, unable to contain himself.


    ¡°My father left several Inheritance Divine Artifacts of Pseudo-God Battle Armor,¡± said Gu You. ¡°Each has its own merits, I saw that you¡¯ve cultivated a Domain Star Technique, and thought this Nine Dragons Xuan Armor would be a perfect fit for you; the Yellow Dragon combined with your Domain can provide you with an additional life-saving measure on top of your Battle Armor¡¯s defenses.¡± sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan understood.


    Although Gu You couldn¡¯t provide him with more Divine Artifacts, he managed to select the ones most suitable for him.


    Whirring~


    With a sweep of his hand, Gu You revealed a black Crystal Stone in his palm, which emitted a rather sinister aura.


    Li Yuan held his breath, feeling a deadly presence from the black Crystal Stone.


    ¡°This is the life-saving Secret Treasure that can vanquish nine out of ten Semi-Divine beings,¡± Gu You said. ¡°But remember, until you¡¯ve crossed the Threshold of the Law of Earth, it¡¯s best not to use it.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± asked Li Yuan, puzzled.


    ¡°These types of treasures are single-use, very unstable internally; they can easily injure you as much as your enemies. Your Origin Power is not strong enough, and without high Law Comprehension, it¡¯s very difficult to control perfectly,¡± Gu You explained earnestly. ¡°However, once controlled, even a Pseudo-God must be careful or risk injury.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    This Slaughter Treasure, if perfectly controlled and unleashed, would certainly lead to the death of a Semi-Divine by conventional logic¡­ The ninety-nine percent probability must account for invincible Semi-Divine beings like the Alliance Hierarch.


    ¡°Alright, put them away,¡± Gu You said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°When you were a Prime Warrior, you were mostly within the civilization, facing mostly weaker foes; once you become a Semi-Divine, your own Strength will be formidable, and within the Mortal Domain, there will be very few threats¡­ It¡¯s only during the Flying Heaven Stage, when the Strength isn¡¯t as great, yet one has the capability to venture into all kinds of dangerous places, that one is likely to encounter formidable Semi-Divines or even Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    ¡°Soul Defense Treasures, material Defense Divine Artifacts, Slaughter Treasures¡­ all these are for protection.¡±


    ¡°The Ancient Divine Palace can also save your life at critical moments.¡±


    ¡°Hopefully, you can smoothly get through this stage,¡± Gu You sighed lightly.


    A warmth filled Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Gu You was indeed always considering his best interests.


    ¡°Go now,¡± said Gu You. ¡°When it¡¯s time for you to venture to the Nine Leaves World or engage in life-and-death battles with Semi-Divines, send me a message.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡­


    Having obtained the Divine Artifacts and Secret Treasures, as well as 100 Fangshen Crystals, Li Yuan felt in high spirits.


    Nothing within the Seven Star Civilization warranted Li Yuan¡¯s action, so he continued to practice in an orderly manner.


    In the blink of an eye, several months had passed, and it was now June 2051.


    Inside Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, congratulations on the breakthrough,¡± the phantom of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense said, looking at Liu Bing, whose life aura had distinctly strengthened by a large margin, smiling, ¡°Just over a month after the breakthrough, and you¡¯ve already reached level 33.¡±


    Half a year after Li Yuan entered the Flying Heaven Realm, Liu Bing had finally made her breakthrough.

    Chapter 650: Chapter 357 Demigod Fang Hai


    ¡°But you are still far from catching up to you, Big Brother,¡± Liu Bing said helplessly, ¡°You¡¯ve reached Level 37 in such a short time. I¡¯m afraid it will take me another two years to catch up with you.¡±


    ¡°Two years to reach Level 37?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    Liu Bing was a breakthrough Seven Star Vein, and so at the highest peak in the Flying Heaven Stage, she could reach Level 37.9.


    Of course, if she were to further create her own Law and awaken the Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven Stage, she could cultivate to Level 38.9.


    ¡°Most Flying Heaven Warriors in the Mortal Domain are not highly advanced in their own realms, and their Star Meridians are not strong enough. Just accumulating Origin Power, it would take many decades to go from Level 30 to Level 35,¡± a voice rang out as a towering figure with a single horn materialized from converging light and shadows.


    ¡°Senior Qiu,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly.


    ...


    ¡°But Liu Bing is of the Seven Star Veins and has already crossed the Threshold of the Law, with numerous treasures to aid in her cultivation. Therefore, her increase in Origin Power is quite quick,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Spending time on cultivating Origin Power alone is a waste¡­ Instead, one should focus on comprehending the Law or strive to awaken their Life Star.¡±


    ¡°These two are of utmost importance,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement; stronger Star Meridians and higher Law Comprehension would naturally speed up the refinement of Heaven and Earth Origin Power.


    For instance, within a few months, with the help of the Divine Crystal Chamber, he had already progressed from Level 37.1 to 37.5¡­ It was estimated that in another year or so, he could cultivate to Level 38.9.


    Liu Bing¡¯s external cultivation conditions were only better than his own.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity.¡±


    ¡°Despite my utmost efforts, even with the treasures left by the Heavenly Gods, I was unable to break through the bottleneck and ended up breaking through with the Seven Star Veins,¡± Liu Bing said, shaking her head, ¡°The Second Rank Eight Star Veins are simply too difficult. I really don¡¯t know how you did it, Big Brother.¡±


    Li Yuan silently lamented that it was only with a Semi-Divine Level Soul that he achieved the Second Rank Seven Star Veins¡­ Without Spiritual Guidance, and if he had relied solely on time, the chances for reaching Second Rank Eight Star Veins would have been slim.


    In the Mortal Domain, truly, there are too few treasures and opportunities.


    ¡°Walk your own path. Your big brother is probably a peerless genius rarely seen in this Mortal Domain for hundreds of millions of years. Don¡¯t compare yourself to his strengths,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°At least, in the little more than a month since your breakthrough to Flying Heaven, both your spiritual power and willpower have simultaneously made breakthroughs¡­ Your speed of Law Comprehension progress is faster than your big brother¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes brightened and she said with a chuckle, ¡°Big Brother, my deduction of the Wind Law has already reached the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage.¡±


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Li Yuan remarked sincerely.


    Law Comprehension at the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage was comparable to the standards of many at the Semi-Divine Peak.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent was indeed one of the top Wind Divine Beasts. Even if it spent years eating and sleeping, it could grow to the True God Peak in a millennium¡­ let alone Liu Bing, who cultivated extremely hard.


    She could also endure loneliness.


    It should be noted that among the three Nine Layer Star Techniques Liu Bing cultivated, one of them was the ¡°True Meaning of the Wind Vein.¡±


    With innate talent already at the top tier, coupled with top-notch external cultivation conditions, and such insane dedication to cultivation¡­ her progress was naturally terrifying.


    At least, in comprehending the Wind Vein, Li Yuan was far inferior to Liu Bing. It was only with the fusion of two veins that Li Yuan barely managed to keep up.


    ¡°Liu Bing, once you cultivate to Level 37.9, in a direct fight, I might not necessarily be your match,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    In terms of Weapon Treasures, Liu Bing was probably stronger than him.


    In terms of Star Techniques, he had the advantage.


    But Liu Bing had stronger Law Comprehension.


    ¡°My strength is only temporary,¡± Liu Bing said, ¡°You, Big Brother, are the one with endless potential.¡±


    The two chatted leisurely, and the topic gradually shifted to exchanging understandings of the True Meaning of Wind and the Wind Law.


    Mainly, it was Liu Bing giving insights to Li Yuan.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Big Brother, when do we set out for the Nine Leaves World?¡± Liu Bing asked curiously.


    She had known about the existence of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains for a long time and also knew that during the Flying Heaven Stage, they would set out for the Nine Leaves World.


    ¡°The Nine Leaves World?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°It¡¯s not certain just yet, but it shouldn¡¯t be too long¡­ Focus on diligent cultivation first, and strive to reach Level 37.9 before entering the Nine Leaves World, so you can exhibit your strongest combat power then.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing was full of fighting spirit.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    While Li Yuan was leisurely cultivating in the Martial Divine Star Realm, in a mysterious place far away in space and time.


    This was a vast world, teeming with countless creatures and filled with wonders. Among them were some extremely powerful divinities standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, enjoying the faith of numerous beings.


    In one such powerful Divine Country.

    Inside an extremely vast mansion, a grand celebration was taking place today.


    ¡°Respectful salutations to Lord Xiahou!¡±


    ¡°Congratulations to Lord Xiahou on being granted the title of Prince in the Flying Heaven Realm, which is extremely rare in the history of our Anbei Divine Country.¡±


    ¡°Haha, indeed, many Demigods struggle to be appointed princes. The last time a Flying Heaven Warrior was appointed prince was over two thousand years ago.¡±


    ¡°Lord Xiahou is powerful, slaying a Demigod with his Flying Heaven State, and the conferment is only right,¡± many powerful beings conversed freely in the depths of the mansion.


    A man in his thirties, clad in a black luxurious garment, was also smiling and interacting with many strong individuals.


    This scene made the servants in the mansion marvel and feel quite proud.


    All the guests were Demigod existences; even among the teeming strong of the Divine Capital, Demigods were big shots¡­ yet they all came to congratulate their master¡ªLord Xiahou.


    As one who was in the Flying Heaven Stage, yet able to converse and laugh freely with numerous Demigods, that bearing and demeanor were unparalleled among countless Flying Heaven existences in the Divine Country.


    ¡°Once the master breaks through to become a Demigod, he will definitely become a supreme existence among Demigods.¡±


    ¡°In the future, he might even have the chance to Ascend to God.¡±


    ¡°Once the master becomes a God, he will be eligible to be a king, qualified to establish his own royal domain. By then, our status will also rise with the tide,¡± the servants thought to themselves.

    They knew that their master had few family members and, seemingly, no offspring.


    So, these servants could expect no small favor.


    Suddenly,


    as many demigods were mingling, a rumble¡ª an incredibly powerful presence was born out of thin air and descended from the clouds above.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Divine,¡± the chatting demigods instinctively sensed it and immediately bent over to salute.


    ...


    The man in the black garment saluted too.


    The clouds dispersed, revealing the figure of an old man in a white robe; his aura was ethereal, far surpassing the group of demigods.


    ¡°Xia Hai.¡± The old man in the white robe looked down at the youth in black.


    ¡°Divine,¡± the youth in black respectfully replied.


    ¡°Though you have joined the Divine Kingdom for only a short time, you have made great contributions; hereby, I specially bestow upon you the title of Xia Marquis,¡± the elder in the white robe spoke softly. ¡°I hope you will continue to strive and become demigod, and ultimately ascend to divinity¡­ I look forward to the day you stand beside me.¡±


    ¡°Yes, junior shall endeavor,¡± the man in the black garment replied. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, the white-robed elder let a round command tablet, emitting an ancient and vast aura, slowly fall.


    The man in the black garment reached out to catch it; the tablet¡¯s front was engraved with the character ¡°Marquis,¡± while the back depicted a landscape of mountains and rivers, suggesting a vast world within at a glance.


    His heart stirred with excitement, he thought to himself: ¡°Finally, I have obtained the Prince¡¯s Command, though it is the lowest Third Class Marquis, it is still a princely rank, and the trial mission is thus completed.¡±


    Soon after,


    the grand banquet concluded, the elder in white and the many demigods departed, and the newly founded Xia Marquis Mansion quieted down.


    The man in the black garment then instructed his many servants, ¡°I need to enter secluded cultivation.¡±


    He immediately returned to the depths of the mansion and activated the formation.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go back,¡± the man in the black garment sat cross-legged on the Jade Platform, his heart full of wistfulness: ¡°Within ten years, acquiring any divine kingdom¡¯s Prince¡¯s Command was truly challenging.¡±


    In this world, gods contended for supremacy, with numerous divine kingdoms competing, and countless mighty ones.


    Even with strength comparable to a demigod, he had to be extremely cautious in this world, where a slight misstep could lead to downfall.


    ¡°Is this really a world within the Nine Leaves World?¡± the man in the black garment pondered, ¡°Any divine kingdom is opened by a True God¡­ There are hundreds of them throughout the world¡­ The legendary three ancient kingdoms were founded by beings that transcend True Gods.¡±


    In any case, over these years, the man in the black garment had to admit that the strength of this world far surpassed his home in the Mortal Domain.


    ¡°My homeland, the Mortal Domain, seems vast, but it hardly has a few True Gods now,¡± he mused, with a sigh.


    ¡°But that is, after all, my home.¡±


    The man in the black garment was Fang Hai, who had been adventuring in this mysterious world for several years.


    He took out the round command tablet.


    ¡°Registered member ¡®Fang Hai,¡¯ requesting to complete the mission,¡± Fang Hai activated the corresponding mark within him with a thought.


    Swiftly,


    Buzz¡ªa wave of invisible fluctuation swept by, and a crack seemed to appear in front of Fang Hai as he vanished on the spot.


    The crack dissipated.


    Deep within the capital, in a special temporal realm filled with endless flames, a terrifying Exotic Beast sat cross-legged, exuding an aura of boundless dread.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Master,¡± a deep voice echoed in the realm, ¡°a mysterious force has just infiltrated the capital¡­ the newly promoted Xia Marquis within the Divine Kingdom, a Third Rank Seven Star Veins¡­ disappeared instantly.¡±


    ¡°Disappeared?¡± the fearsome Exotic Beast opened its eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s very strange, the details are unclear,¡± the deep voice replied, ¡°By rights, not even a Heavenly Divine descending could do so without detection, given the defensive might of the capital¡¯s Formation.¡±


    ¡°Leave it for now.¡±


    ¡°Is it possible to trace this Xia Marquis¡¯s whereabouts?¡± the terrifying Exotic Beast inquired softly.


    ¡°Not at the moment,¡± the deep voice replied, ¡°I have just checked; he appeared suddenly a few years ago¡­ Though he has caused no harm, instead, he has contributed a great deal.¡±


    ¡°Then stop the search and maintain his noble rank. Meanwhile, announce publicly that Xia Marquis has been called by me to enter secluded cultivation,¡± the terrifying Exotic Beast slowly suggested, ¡°There are many mysteries in this world that I cannot decipher¡­ perhaps this is a disciple sent by some mysterious realm for training.¡±


    ¡°If it has caused no destruction, there¡¯s no need to offend.¡±


    ¡°If he can ascend to True God in the future and return, it would be akin to having formed a good relationship,¡± the terrifying Exotic Beast declared.


    ¡°Your subordinate understands.¡±


    ¡­


    Whoosh¡ª


    Time and space wavered, and as Fang Hai felt the changing scenery, he found himself back in the familiar place.


    A towering, endless temple.


    ¡°Registered member Fang Hai, congratulations on completing the Nine Leaves Trial and becoming a Silver Garment member,¡± a soothing voice announced, ¡°Now, you must make a choice; there are nine Ascension Gifts, you may choose any four. Each of these gifts has its own specialization.¡±


    Whoosh¡ª


    Countless lights converged to form a huge screen of light which displayed a wealth of text.


    Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    ¡°First, the Myriad Realms Commerce Association Command; the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber is¡­ through the Boundary Order, you can communicate with the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber, once every hundred years you can purchase treasures¡­¡±


    ¡°Second, the Myriad Divine Legacies Grotto¡­¡±


    ¡°Third, the Sixth Rank Civilization Herald¡­¡±


    ¡°Fourth, the Heavenly Divine Registered Disciple Legacy¡­¡±


    ¡°Fifth¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Fang Hai, looking at the nine Ascension Gifts and the detailed explanations that followed, was thoroughly shaken.


    At this moment,


    he finally understood what his teacher Dongfang Ji had said before he entered the Nine Leaves World, ¡°You are more outstanding than I am, and if all goes well, you will definitely pass through the Nine Leaves World¡­ Then you will understand everything.¡±


    Fang Hai now fully understood.

 Chapter 652 - 357 Demigod Fang Hai_3

    F{h*F5-(LjChapter 357 Demigod Fang Hai_3


    Originally, the teacher¡¯s everything truly originated from Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    ¡°Nine promotions ceremony, some are biased towards enhancing personal strength, while some can improve the entire civilization¡¯s foundation, though they offer little help to oneself,¡± Fang Hai sighed inwardly, ¡°The teacher¡­ he sacrificed too much.¡±


    From the numerous traces of the past, Fang Hai had roughly understood the choices his teacher had made.


    Most were biased towards enhancing the civilization¡¯s foundation.


    ¡°No wonder the teacher said that he had already done many things and had laid a solid foundation for the entire civilization, which allowed me to focus more on enhancing myself,¡± thought Fang Hai.


    In the past, he didn¡¯t understand why the teacher didn¡¯t directly say it, but now he understood.


    ...


    There were limitations due to the laws¡¯ oaths.


    Many things could only be done, not spoken¡­


    ¡°The teacher always said I was more outstanding, but if the teacher had chosen those that enhanced his personal strength, he would probably be even stronger,¡± Fang Hai shook his head in private, his admiration for his teacher growing even more.


    Time passed.


    Soon after, Fang Hai had made his choice.


    ¡°Silver Garment Member Fang Hai,¡± a gentle voice arose, ¡°I hope you continue to strive hard and pass the Nine Mountains Trial soon¡­ to become a Golden Garment Member¡­¡±


    ¡­


    In September 2051, at Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan was deeply cultivating inside his own palace.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan sensed a vibration from his smart ring and immediately looked down at it, his eyes widening instantly as boundless joy surged in his heart, ¡°The principal, ascended to semi-divine?¡±


    This was news from Dongfang Ji, simply meaning Fang Hai had just returned from the Nine Leaves World and had ascended to semi-divine, now possessing the power of semi-divine peak.


    ¡°When the principal was flying heaven, he could kill a semi-god, thanks to his extremely high law comprehension,¡± Li Yuan was not surprised at all, ¡°Now that his breakthrough has happened, it is very normal to have semi-divine peak strength.¡±


    Such strength, after some more years of concealed cultivation, reaching the semi-divine limit was very normal.


    Semi-Divine Limit represented the theoretical limit a normal semi-divine could achieve.


    And so-called ¡®Invincible Semi-Divine,¡¯ actually represents the combat power reaching a Pseudo-God threshold, achieving this step often requires very unique reasons and is extremely rare.


    ¡­


    In Feixing, within the gloomy void, two figures were flying at high speed.


    ¡°Teacher, I have fulfilled my mission,¡± Fang Hai said respectfully. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Ha ha, good, successfully becoming a Silver Garment Member,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Very good, you are the second Silver Garment Member in the history of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Fang Hai listened.


    Previously, he had ventured several times into the Nine Leaves World, only completing the San Ye Trial, Wu Ye Trial, and Qi Ye Trial, although he gained many benefits¡­ he had never touched the real secrets of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    Until this time, he finally succeeded in completing the Nine Leaves Trial, understanding the real secrets of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    He knew very well that before him, many semi-divines like Lant Semi-Divine or formidable Flying Heaven Warriors had entered Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡­ but none had completed the Nine Leaves Trial.


    Let alone the higher-level Nine Mountains Trial.


    ¡°What did you choose?¡± Dongfang Ji asked, as before, he was limited by a law oath and couldn¡¯t directly mention it, but now both being Silver Garment Members, it wouldn¡¯t count as revealing a secret.


    Fang Hai quickly explained.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded in satisfaction, ¡°With this help, your strength will grow faster than mine, you totally have the hope to awaken to Eight Star Veins as a semi-divine¡­ Once you achieve the Eight Star Veins, you will have the foundation of a Heavenly Divine, if you also pass the Nine Mountains Trial¡­ ha ha, limitless.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, have you not passed the Nine Mountains Trial?¡± Fang Hai asked.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t gone,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°Once you enter the Nine Mountains World, you will understand, whether successful or not, it will be difficult to return for a short time.¡±


    Fang Hai instantly understood.


    Nine Mountains World harbored secrets deeper than those of the Nine Leaves World.


    At the same time, Fang Hai also understood why the teacher kept emphasizing that once he and Li Yuan grew up, he would be able to relax.


    ¡°Now it¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has ascended as Flying Heaven Warrior, already possessing the strength of a semi-god,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°You also ascended semi-divinely and returned, just a few more years of concealed cultivation, and your strength will greatly increase¡­ then, I will be able to go my own way.¡±


    ¡°The teacher sacrificed too much for the entire civilization,¡± Fang Hai exclaimed.


    ¡°Ha ha, a civilization¡¯s rise always needs someone to take the first step,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Being able to see you rise one after another, it was worth my initial choice.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan broke through as Flying Heaven Warrior? How¡¯s the situation?¡± Fang Hai was curious, ¡°Already possessing semi-divine strength so quickly?¡±


    ¡°Stronger than you,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°He broke through with the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, as soon as the breakthrough finished he was level 37.¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡± Fang Hai was surprised.


    ¡­


    ¡°Fang Hai ascended semi-divine.¡±


    ¡°Semi-divine? Fang Hai?¡± This news swept through the entire Seven Star Civilization at an astonishing speed, making various powerhouses feel it deeply, and even quickly making many Foreign Civilizations aware.


    In terms of attention, Fang Hai was not much weaker than Li Yuan.


    For Fang Hai¡¯s ascension to a Semi-Divine, the various sides did not express much astonishment, after all, it had been anticipated¡­ In many speculations by Foreign Civilizations, Fang Hai was already supposed to have ascended to Semi-Divine.


    Such a formidable Flying Heaven Warrior who became a Semi-Divine, was destined to rapidly rise to the Semi-Divine Peak and become another pillar and strong figure of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But soon after, another piece of news truly shook the entire Seven Star Civilization¡ªDongfang Ji announced he would resign from his position as the Grand Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall of the Seven Stars and designated Fang Hai as his successor.


    At the same time, a significant adjustment was to be made in the highest meeting of the Seven Star Alliance, where Dongfang Ji would remain as the Chief Alliance Leader, but for the first time, set up two Vice Alliance Hierarchs¡ªLant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai Semi-Divine.


    Undoubtedly.


    All the Semi-Divines and Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization understood that this marked Fang Hai¡¯s official entry into the highest echelon of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Both the position of Grand Hall Master and Vice Alliance Hierarch were merely precursors to the final step.


    The successive news prompted many powerhouses within the Seven Star Civilization to make secret speculations.


    At the same time, it also sparked numerous conjectures among various Foreign Civilizations.


    Was Dongfang Ji about to Ascend to God?


    ¡­


    ¡°A few years ago, the principal had just resigned as the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star, and in the blink of an eye, he directly took on the role of the Grand Hall Master of the Seven Stars.¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    Li Yuan was not surprised; strength decided status, and Principal Fang Hai was destined to become one of the upper echelons of Blue Star.


    Moreover,


    For a long time, the Alliance Leader had also been grooming the principal as his successor.


    ¡°However, even taking on the Vice Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°including Lant Semi-Divine as a Vice Alliance Hierarch as well, is probably also a way to silence many of the Semi-Divines within the Alliance¡­ Could it be, is the Alliance Leader truly preparing to leave the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    Li Yuan remembered what the Alliance Leader had said a few years ago.


    Between the lines, it revealed his intention to leave.


    ¡°Enough.¡±


    ¡°Regardless, making oneself more powerful is the right path,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡­


    Fang Hai¡¯s grand celebration of his Semi-Divine achievement took place on FeiXing, yet Li Yuan did not participate directly.


    But he did meet Fang Hai privately.


    ¡­


    After Fang Hai¡¯s Semi-Divine celebration,


    the entire Seven Star Civilization continued as usual in peace, with the Semi-Divines guarding each of the Great Planets, ensuring the overall stability of the civilization, while also striving hard in their cultivation, yearning to advance further.


    The Flying Heaven Warriors and Prime Warriors were either diligently cultivating or venturing to various Star Realms for adventures.


    Li Yuan was still discreetly engaging in concealed cultivation in the Seven Star Mountain.


    Despite rumors about why he had not yet broken through to ¡°Flying Heaven,¡± the controversy was not significant, as he was still quite young compared to most members of the Seven Star Mountain.


    Before you knew it, October of 2052 arrived, a year had passed since Fang Hai¡¯s Semi-Divine celebration.


    One of the Seven Great Planets, Lantie Star.

    Cloud Scenery Star Realm was a considerably vast star realm, spanning over 40,000 kilometers in diameter. Although the environment of the star realm was mostly harsh, with frequent natural disasters, it made the propagation of life much more challenging.

    For millennia, the Myriad Demons Civilization had monopolized the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, ensuring its population always remained in the billions.


    The recent cataclysmic changes caught the immediate attention of two demigods stationed in the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, who dispatched their subordinates to rapidly confirm the emergence of a third-level passage.


    ¡°A new third-level passage?¡±


    ¡°Does it lead to the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Quick! Report to the Eastern Demon Deity.¡± The two demigods made their decision promptly, ¡°This might be our opportunity.¡±


    ...


    As demigods, they existed above all in the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, deciding on matters big and small with considerable ease and freedom.


    However, being confined to the small star realm for so long, they too harbored a desire¡ªto ascend to godhood.


    Once they became divine, they could leave the star realm behind and roam the celestial star realms, truly free.


    Inside the main hall of the main city in the star realm,


    Hum~ Countless lights converged, creating a phantom emanating a powerful aura.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°We pay our respects, Divine.¡± The two demigods bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Tassi, Florence.¡± The Eastern Demon Deity looked at the two demigods. ¡°I have read through all the messages you reported. You have done very well and have complete control over the star realm, discovering this star realm channel at the earliest.¡±


    ¡°Divine, this is our duty.¡± The purple-garmented youth, ¡®Tassi Demigod¡¯, said modestly. ¡°My Myriad Demons Civilization has controlled this star realm for thousands of years, having permeated the surveillance system into every corner, discovering this at first sight is only proper.¡±


    ¡°The true rise of the Seven Star Civilization has been recently, in the last hundred years. They value Heavenly Sea Star, Blue Star¡­ but they seem to care little for Lantie Star,¡± stated Demigod Tassi. ¡°At least for now, I have already dispatched over ten Flying Heaven near the star realm channel, and so far, no strong members of the Seven Star Civilization have appeared.¡±


    ¡°It seems that the Seven Star Civilization has not yet noticed the new star realm channel.¡±


    ¡°Yes, the Seven Star Civilization has yet to birth a divine, never fused with the plane¡¯s origin; their surveillance is indeed much weaker,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity nodded slightly. ¡°But ultimately, this is their planet; they will certainly notice if we wait too long.¡±


    ¡°So, we must act quickly.¡±


    Both Demigod Tassi and Demigod Florence listened respectfully.


    ¡°My Myriad Demons Civilization aims to completely invade and occupy the Seven Star Civilization, partly by slaying their top warriors,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity told the two demigods. ¡°On the other hand, we need to continuously weaken their potential and sever their roots.¡±


    ¡°This time, it is an opportunity, with the hope of completely obliterating the entire Lantie Star.¡±


    The two demigods were startled.


    Destroy an entire planet?


    ¡°Divine,¡± said the white-garbed Demigod Florence, unable to hold back. ¡°Lantie Star, although not highly regarded in the Seven Star Civilization, is still guarded by a demigod¡­ This is just a third-level channel, allowing only Flying Heaven Realm to pass, how do we obliterate a planet?¡±


    There was no one in the entire Myriad Demons Civilization at the Flying Heaven Realm that could match a demigod, not even the few Flying Heaven close to demigod strength.


    It could be said,


    A planet guarded by a demigod, no matter how many Flying Heaven Warriors arrive, can only cause some destruction but can hardly shake the overall situation.


    ¡°I will dispatch three Flying Heaven Demon children from the Myriad Demons Hall,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated directly. ¡°I have already urgently called for them.¡±


    Flying Heaven Demon children?


    Both demigods were startled again.


    Every civilization has a system for selecting geniuses, and the Myriad Demons Civilization was no exception. As a powerful civilization with long-standing heritage and dozens of life planets, coupled with the Universal Cultivation Methods created over the eons, covering most races and beings¡­ this had led to an astonishing number of Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors born in the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Dozens of times those in the Seven Star Civilization.


    The number of demigod warriors was also more than ten times greater than that of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ While the top geniuses were far from the likes Fang Hai and Li Yuan,


    The number of second-tier geniuses was very high.


    The so-called Flying Heaven Demon children were Flying Heaven Warriors whose comprehension of True Intent had reached the Semi Divine Level, or who had even stepped into the Threshold of the Law.


    They represented the absolute elite among Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization, indicating they could break through to demigod at any moment.


    The reason they hadn¡¯t advanced yet was mostly in pursuit of awakening stronger Star Meridians and building a more solid foundation.


    ¡°The three Flying Heaven Demon children, once they arrive on Lantie Star, will break through nearby,¡± stated the Eastern Demon Deity earnestly.


    The two demigods nodded, also sensing the determination of the Eastern Demon Deity.


    It¡¯s challenging to convince warriors of this level to go to the Seven Star Civilization, essentially to their demise.


    Correct.


    In the eyes of Demigod Tassi and Demigod Florence, this was akin to sending them to their death¡­ with Dongfang Ji present, despite potential significant impacts on the Seven Star Civilization in the short term, the future was uncertain.


    ¡°Additionally, I will also summon a large number of Flying Heaven Realm warriors, quickly arriving along the star realm channel,¡± continued the Eastern Demon Deity. ¡°But all this requires time; hence, I need you to dispatch your subordinates, sending over 200 Flying Heaven Warriors first to infiltrate Lantie Star and gather information.¡±


    ¡°Prepare for a great war.¡±


    200 Flying Heaven Realm?


    The two demigods were startled again; how many Flying Heaven Warriors were there in the entire star realm?


    It¡¯s known that the latent life potential born in a star realm is far inferior to that of a planetary life, and the number of rising Flying Heaven Realms is also far less. Moreover, most Flying Heaven Realms leave the star realm to live on the planets of the Myriad Demons Civilization, receiving nurturing and tempering.

    Chapter 654: Chapter 358: Planetary Crisis! To Battle!_2


    ¡°Tassi, Florence, you too will receive merit rewards,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity intoned, ¡°In the future, should we occupy the Seven Star Civilization and obtain the treasures of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ your hopes to Ascend to God will also greatly increase.¡±


    For these Star Realm demigods, the Eastern Demon Deity found it difficult to directly threaten or command them; mostly, he resorted to bribing them.


    After thinking it over, the two demigods chose to agree, ¡°We obey the Divine command.¡±


    Soon,


    the entire war machine of the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, silent for so long, began to mobilize swiftly.


    ¡­


    ...


    In the Myriad Demons Civilization, on a Wan Mo star, within a world quite strange, the entire world was extremely dim.


    Inside one of the temples,


    ¡°Pu Yang, Suhaer, Sang Qiu.¡± The Phantom summoned by the Eastern Demon Deity loomed over the three before it, speaking slowly, ¡°The tasks and requirements have all been laid out to you.¡±


    ¡°Now, our entire civilization needs your sacrifice, to go and destroy the ¡®Lantie Star¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°As long as you agree, I will gift you many treasures, Divine Artifacts.¡±


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°Does Lantie Star¡¯s demigod not have a Semi-Divine Peak presence?¡± the bald man named Pu Yang spoke in a deep voice, ¡°If there is a Semi-Divine Peak presence, even if we break through to become Semi-Divine and wield Divine Artifacts, we don¡¯t stand a chance.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    ¡°How long has the Seven Star Civilization risen?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said with a smile, ¡°Their entire civilization¡¯s demigods aren¡¯t more than a hundred years old, most have practiced for just a hundred or two hundred years¡­ Semi-Divine Peak Experts would definitely not exceed ten.¡±


    ¡°As for Lantie Star, it¡¯s the least regarded planet, the probability of having a Semi-Divine Peak Expert stationed there is close to zero,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated.


    Three Flying Heaven Demons felt somewhat relieved in their hearts but were still filled with worry.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has not yet born a True God, and their star passages are not fully open, so, they will only allow Flying Heaven Warriors to pass through the star passages swiftly, those powerful demigods¡­ it will take them a long time to come over here,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°Before, the Seven Star Civilization had a Fang Hai, who was only in the Flying Heaven Realm, able to rush over quickly, you definitely would not be his match, but now he has broken through to Semi-Divine, and moreover, he broke through on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°The current Seven Star Civilization doesn¡¯t have too many strong Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated.


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡± unable to hold back, the woman named Sang Qiu asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t there a rumor that he has become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    ¡°Even if he has become Flying Heaven, how long has it been since his campaign in the Second Level Star Realm? His Origin Power hasn¡¯t even reached the Peak,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°And no matter how fast he progresses in understanding heaven and earth, in such a short time, he probably hasn¡¯t even reached the Law Level.¡±


    ¡°As long as you become Semi-Divine, he will definitely not be a match for you,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated.


    The three Flying Heaven Demons nodded in agreement.


    Li Yuan¡¯s talent was indeed monstrous, but he was too young; even if he broke through, his strength probably still fell far short of the Semi Divine Level.


    ¡°Strike quickly and decisively, exterminate all life on the entire planet.¡±


    ¡°Once your mission is accomplished,¡±


    ¡°leave the planet swiftly, fly out into the heavens, whether to wander the starry sky or to hide on some desolate planets, it¡¯s not difficult,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    The three Flying Heaven Demons listened.


    As demigods, powerful in strength, they could travel the starry sky with their physical bodies alone, living in the starry sky on their own was quite easy.


    Just that, it was too lonely.


    ¡°When in the future my Myriad Demons Civilization occupies the Seven Star Civilization, you naturally can return,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, looking down at the three, ¡°The entire civilization will not forget your contributions and will certainly treat your families and friends well.¡±


    This was coercion following the lure.


    ¡°We obey the Divine command.¡±


    ¡°We will put forth our utmost effort, to slaughter the entire planet,¡± Pu Yang and the other three Flying Heaven Demons bowed their heads completely.


    Quickly,


    they took the treasures given to them by the Eastern Demon Deity from the Wan Mo star and rushed towards the Cloud Scenery Star Realm.


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall,


    ¡°The three Flying Heaven Demons will surely become Semi-Divine,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity thought to himself, ¡°More than three thousand in the Flying Heaven Realm¡­ given such life-and-death pressure, perhaps we can also see the birth of a few demigods.¡±


    ¡°They should be able to obliterate the entire Lantie Star.¡±


    Since the battle of Feixing a hundred years ago, the Eastern Demon Deity had given up the expectation of annihilating the entire Seven Star Civilization in one battle¡­ he could only hope to continuously weaken the potential of the Seven Star Civilization and slow the speed of their rise.


    ¡°The entire Seven Star Civilization, after all, only has seven major planets.¡±


    ¡°To slaughter all life on an entire planet may allow for recovery in the future¡­ but it would take at least several decades, or even longer,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity thought to himself.


    Time passed. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Numerous Flying Heaven Warriors in the Myriad Demons Civilization were being mobilized, naturally attracting the notice of many Foreign Civilizations¡­ but only very few powerful individuals truly knew about the appearance of the Star Realm Passage.


    For instance, some of the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, two demigods, the three demons.


    Others? Hardly knew anything.


    Even most of the called upon Flying Heaven Warriors only knew that they were going to wage a war; as for who the specific target was? The destination? They had no idea.


    Therefore, although the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s intelligence system received news of the mobilization of powerful individuals from the Myriad Demons Civilization, it did not raise sufficient alarm.


    ¡­


    Several days later.


    On Feixing, in the palace of Li Yuan in the Martial Divine Star Realm, an intelligent robot was brewing tea.


    Li Yuan was entertaining good friends.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin, congratulations on becoming a member of the Seven Star Mountain,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve been in seclusion cultivating and couldn¡¯t congratulate you right away.¡±


    ¡°Your cultivation is imperative, it¡¯s enough that other people have congratulated me, you don¡¯t need to jest,¡± Jin Huguo shook his head and chuckled, ¡°Not to mention comparing to you, even compared to Alicia and the others, I am far from their equal.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not the Senior Brother Jin I know,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Why bother about others, just follow your own path.¡±

 Chapter 655 - 358: Planetary Crisis! To Battle!_3

    Chapter 655: Chapter 358: Planetary Crisis! To Battle!_3


    Jin Huguo, now 28 years old, had managed to reach Fifth Stage Perfection and become a member of the Seven Star Mountain, which was already quite impressive, surpassing the average level of the members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    It should be noted that when Jin Huguo first entered the Martial Divine Hall, his talents and potential were considered below average.


    One could imagine how hard Jin Huguo must have trained over the years.


    Not long after.


    Li Yuan saw Jin Huguo off and continued to sit alone, sipping tea, but in secret, he was continuously observing the ¡°Stellar Transformations Map,¡± comprehending the mysteries within.


    Even though his True Intent Comprehension had reached Sixth Stage Perfection, Li Yuan still felt that the Stellar Transformations Map was filled with profound secrets.


    ...


    The creator of this map was at a realm far beyond Li Yuan¡¯s own.


    ¡°It¡¯s really difficult to step into the Threshold of the Law,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°In this year and more since becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, I¡¯ve made more progress in the True Meaning of Wind and the True Meaning of Earth than in many years of cultivation before¡­ yet I still haven¡¯t been able to step into the Law Level in either one.¡±


    Of course.


    By now, Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of both the True Meaning of Wind and the True Meaning of Earth had reached Sixth Stage Perfection, and he was nearing the limit of the Sixth Stage¡­ The might of the fusion of True Intents made his Spear Technique much more powerful than it was over a year ago.


    ¡°Once the True Meaning of Earth transforms into the Law Level, I think there will be hope for me to comprehend the second or even the third stance of the Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    The ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± as an ultimate skill bestowed by a True God, consisted of nine stances, each with a significant increase in might.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The smart ring vibrated intensely, causing Li Yuan¡¯s expression to change. Was it an emergency?


    With a thought, he immediately activated it.


    Whoosh~


    A beam of light converged, quickly forming a miniature projection, with a figure in a black garment appearing on it.


    ¡°Principal?¡± said Li Yuan, recognizing the caller as Fang Hai.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Lantie Star is facing a planetary crisis,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly. ¡°The situation is extremely urgent; we may need your help.¡±


    ¡°A planetary crisis?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    To be described as a planetary crisis meant that there must be an enormous danger threatening the very existence of the entire planet.


    What could it be?


    ¡°Deploy immediately and head to the entrance of the Sixth Star Realm with Duanmu Hong,¡± Fang Hai said grimly. ¡°I will send you the details shortly.¡±


    ¡°One thing you must be aware of, try to conceal your aura as much as possible and let everyone think that you¡¯ve just recently broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ This is very important.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan thought, his mind racing.


    With a thought, Li Yuan, carrying the Ancient Divine Palace and Heavenly Snake Hall Cave Heaven Treasures, had already flown out of the palace mansion.


    ¡­


    He quickly arrived in the high skies above Seven Star Mountain.


    Several Flying Heaven Warriors were waiting there, with a figure clad in a white garment, Duanmu Hong, leading them.


    Aside from him, there were several Flying Heaven Warriors, all of whom were the Flying Heaven Peak Experts who had always been stationed in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Duanmu.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, have you arrived?¡± Duanmu Hong nodded. ¡°Congratulations on finally breaking through to become a Flying Heaven. Are you also joining the battle?¡±


    Evidently, Duanmu Hong had received the message and was prepared to play along with Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®act¡¯.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve just recently broken through,¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°With the planet in crisis and no other duties, I naturally have to join the battle.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has become a Flying Heaven?¡±


    ¡°Congratulations.¡± The other Flying Heaven Peak Warriors were somewhat surprised but not excessively shocked.


    In their eyes, given Li Yuan¡¯s strength, a breakthrough was to be expected. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I sense that Li Yuan¡¯s aura is at level 33,¡± said a man in a golden garment, quite excited. ¡°Before the breakthrough, Li Yuan already had the combat power of a Star Master; now, his strength is probably almost at the level of a Demigod¡­ definitely a significant reinforcement.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my part,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Duanmu Hong said. ¡°We can talk more on the way.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! A group of Flying Heaven Warriors, turning into streaks of light, quickly headed toward the entrance of the Star Realm.

 Chapter 656 - 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter

    Chapter 656: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter


    ¡°Seven Star Civilization, the earliest Six Grand Star Realms, evolved from the Star Bridges and they serve as the conduits connecting Feixing and the other six major planets, thus named from ¡®First Star Lord¡¯ to ¡®Sixth Star Realm.''¡±


    ¡°For example, the Star Realm Passage between Blue Star and Feixing is the Third Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The passage between Lantie Star and Feixing, on the other hand, is the Sixth Star Realm.¡±


    When Li Yuan and Duanmu Hong and others rushed to the Sixth Star Realm.


    Feixing, in the deepest part of a special building within the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    Hum~


    ...


    A mass of light appeared out of thin air, converged, and formed a phantom of Li Yuan.


    This was the projection of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense.


    After undergoing a Soul Metamorphosis to the Semi Divine Level, one could leave behind Spiritual Imprints that, when not activated, consumed very little Spiritual Mark and could be maintained for a long time, facilitating critical moments of contact.


    The last time Li Yuan met with Fang Hai, he left a Divine Sense Imprint at both the Starfire Martial Hall and the Seven Stars Temple Headquarters.


    This wasn¡¯t any secret; many demigods were aware of it.


    After all, his transformation into a Demigod was a public matter, and the Foreign Civilizations knew it as well.


    ¡°President,¡± Li Yuan looked towards Fang Hai not far away.


    The entire hall was empty except for Fang Hai and an old man in white robes, ¡®Master Yun.¡¯


    Of course, Master Yun was also just a phantom.


    ¡°You should already have some initial understanding of the situation,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°On Lantie Star, that additional Star Realm Passage is a Third Level passage to the Cloud Scenery Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The Cloud Scenery Star Realm is absolutely controlled by the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Our control over Lantie Star is very weak, and we did not expect a Third Level Star Realm Passage to appear directly,¡± Fang Hai sighed, ¡°Moreover, the location of the passage entrance is extremely secret.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan listened quietly.


    Just moments before, in the space of a few breaths, he had already skimmed through the data sent by Fang Hai.


    Lantie Star had plunged into war, with hordes of Flying Heaven Aliens launching comprehensive attacks from various parts of the ocean towards the cities on land¡­ and now, the known forces of the Myriad Demons Civilization have already sent over a thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Realm level.


    Of course, there were also over a thousand Flying Heaven Warriors stationed on Lantie Star, resisting with all their might.


    ¡°Come and have a look,¡± Fang Hai pointed nearby.


    Swish~ A multitude of light and shadows converged, forming the virtual images of three incredibly large planets that were all flashing with light, seemingly observed from an extremely high dimension.


    ¡°Is this Blue Star? Feixing?¡± Li Yuan recognized two of the planets at a glance.


    He was very familiar with these two planets.


    ¡°Yes, the other planet is Heavenly Sea Star,¡± Fang Hai said gravely, ¡°According to the Alliance Hierarch, you should have some knowledge of the planetary defense systems¡­ Feixing, Blue Star, and Heavenly Sea Star all have planetary defense systems and are absolutely impregnable.¡±


    ¡°These three planets are the most important.¡±


    ¡°These planetary defense systems were brought here by your teacher,¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°But the other four planets¡­ do not have such complete planetary defense systems.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    He had found it strange before; based on Gu You¡¯s feedback from his infiltration of Blue Star, such a large-scale attack should have been detected in advance¡­ this was the reason.


    ¡°What about the Demigods?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°What about the Demigods on Lantie Star?¡±


    Fang Hai looked towards Master Yun.


    ¡°The Demigods of my Seven Star Civilization total just over sixty, most of whom are stationed at various Third Level Star Realms,¡± Master Yun slowly said, ¡°For instance, nearly thirty Demigods are stationed on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Eleven Demigods are stationed on Heavenly Sea Star.¡±


    ¡°Seven Demigods are stationed on Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°And a few other Demigods are in several other important Third Level Star Realms,¡± Master Yun said solemnly, ¡°These Demigods cannot be easily moved¡­ There are four Demigods stationed on Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°Now, two of those Demigods are guarding a former Third Level Star Realm entrance on Lantie Star; he cannot be moved.¡±


    ¡°The other two have already rushed to the entrance of the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, which is too large a passage, spanning three hundred kilometers¡­ Only by the joint efforts of two Demigods can it be barely sealed off, to defend the passage and prevent the Myriad Demons Civilization from sending more Flying Heaven Realm forces.¡±


    Li Yuan came to a realization.


    So to speak, on Lantie Star, is there only one Demigod who can move freely?


    No wonder the situation was so dire.


    ¡°The Star Realm Passages within the Plane are all Third Level,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°So, Demigods from other planets who want to rush over can only travel through the starry sky on warships.¡±


    ¡°Too slow,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    The distance between different planets ranged from tens of millions of kilometers at the shortest and several hundred million kilometers at the longest¡­ Traveling through the starry sky in a Fourth Rank Battleship would take at least a few months or even years to arrive.


    By the time the Demigods from other planets arrived, the entire planet would have been decimated.


    The vast distances between different planets ensure that when one is subject to a destructive blow, others can remain safe, with a substantial buffer of time.


    For example, the Great Extinction on Feixing did not affect the other planets, saving the Seven Star Civilization.


    Every benefit has its drawback.


    Similarly, when a planet is faced with disaster, it is very difficult for the Demigods from other planets to come to the rescue.


    ¡°If it were just the current situation, we would not be too anxious,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly, ¡°What worries me is that among the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven Realm forces that invaded Lantie Star, there might be Heavenly Demon Children.¡±


    Heavenly Demon Children? Li Yuan¡¯s expression turned solemn.


    He had communicated with Xue Yan and, including reading various documents, naturally knew the basic system of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°President, are you worried that a Demigod of the Myriad Demons Civilization will soon be born on Lantie Star?¡± Li Yuan said gravely.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± Fang Hai nodded, ¡°If it were just Flying Heaven Realm warriors, let alone a thousand, even three thousand or five thousand¡­ as long as we block the Star Realm entrance, they will eventually be eliminated by us.¡±

 Chapter 657 - 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 2

    Chapter 657: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 2


    ¡°After all, although the demigods from other planets can¡¯t arrive swiftly, the Flying Heaven Warriors can still reach quickly,¡± they¡¯ve already mobilized more than five thousand Flying Heaven Warriors from various major planets.¡±


    ¡°They will all arrive at Lantie Star within a day to join the battle.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with a shock in his heart.


    More than five thousand Flying Heaven Warriors? How many Flying Heaven Warriors does the entire Seven Star Civilization have in total?


    This time, to save Lantie Star, the Seven Star Civilization is indeed going all out.


    ¡°But the true deciding factor of victory or defeat still lies in the clash at the Demigod level,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°As of now, within our civilization, the only Demigod-level force that can rush to the support is you.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Also, your Soul Attack is very effective in slaughtering those Flying Heaven Warriors, and you slaughter at a rate far surpassing other demigods.¡±


    Li Yuan was all ears.


    Regarding Soul Attacks, currently in the Seven Star Civilization, he was probably able to rank within the top three.


    Even the principal might not match up to him in terms of Soul Attack.


    ¡°The most important thing¡ª¡±


    ¡°In the Myriad Demons Civilization, if there are hidden Flying Heaven Demon Offspring, they are undoubtedly undergoing concealed cultivation right now, striving to nurture their souls to the Semi-Divine Level and cultivate their Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank before they make a move,¡± said Fang Hai, ¡°So, I need you to lure them out in advance.¡±


    ¡°Lure them?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, recalling the principal¡¯s previous order.


    He was told not to reveal his true level.


    ¡°The secret technique that I have cultivated conceals my aura so that even a Flying Heaven Star Lord can only vaguely sense that I am in the Flying Heaven realm,¡± said Li Yuan, ¡°but they can¡¯t confirm my true Life Level¡­ Pretending to be just a Level 33 in breakthrough isn¡¯t hard.¡±


    It is extremely difficult to completely conceal one¡¯s aura in front of other strong individuals.


    Every expert has an incredibly keen Divine Sense.


    For instance, Li Yuan pretending to be an ordinary person in front of other Flying Heaven Star Lords? Impossible.


    To completely conceal one¡¯s aura, one must cultivate some terrifying aura-concealing Star Techniques, thus changing the superficial aura of life.


    Only some heaven-defying assassins could do such a thing.


    Li Yuan¡¯s realm was profound, his soul powerful, but he had not cultivated such Star Techniques.


    To conceal one¡¯s life aura in front of other individuals in the Flying Heaven Realm was already quite rare.


    ¡°Level 33? Just perfect.¡±


    Fang Hai nodded solemnly, ¡°Even if the Myriad Demons Civilization sends Flying Heaven Demon Offspring, the number should not be too many, at most five¡­ If we let them smoothly become demigods and remain hidden within our Seven Star Civilization, the threat would be too great.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    A little thought was enough to understand.


    If a hostile demigod was born within Star Realm, it would just mean the loss of a single Star Realm, after all, hostile demigods can¡¯t come out¡­ but if there were hostile demigods within the civilized Starry Sky, this demigod, given ample time, could launch attacks on various planets, virtually indefensible.


    Therefore, they must be eradicated as much as possible!


    ¡°Do you have confidence?¡± Fang Hai asked Li Yuan, ¡°I want you to join the battle, but first and foremost, your safety must be assured.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, principal,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°back then, the principal slew a demigod in Wanhan Star Realm, shaking the Foreign Domain.¡±


    ¡°I have always aimed to emulate the principal.¡±


    ¡°This time, I shall follow suit,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Concealing myself for so long, isn¡¯t it just so the enemy can¡¯t guess my strength, and I can strike at the critical moment?¡±


    ¡°This time, it is the critical moment,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Good,¡± Fang Hai nodded, ¡°I have already transmitted all the data of the entire civilization¡¯s demigods to you.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded, and then his Divine Sense avatar dissipated.


    Inside the hall.


    ¡°There are no semi-divine peak experts on Lantie Star,¡± Fang Hai said in a low tone, ¡°It¡¯s unclear whether this planetary crisis can be resolved smoothly this time.¡±


    ¡°Since it¡¯s war, where there is victory, there must be defeat,¡± Yun Lao said indifferently from the side, ¡°Years ago, you swept through Wanhan Star Realm¡­ but a few months ago, the enemy counterattacked, and we too suffered heavy casualties.¡±


    ¡°Last year, in the great battle of the Penglai Star Realm at Blue Star, our whole army was annihilated, and we completely withdrew from the Penglai Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Four years ago in the Demon Mountain Star Realm battle, Ansel the demigod fell,¡± Yun Lao shook his head, ¡°In war, who always wins?¡±


    ¡°We can only do our utmost.¡±


    Fang Hai nodded slightly.


    The Seven Star Civilization erupts into war year after year, with varying scales; the larger ones include battles like those of Wanhan Star Realm, Penglai Star Realm, Ming Xu Star Realm¡­ but even if these major battles were lost, they wouldn¡¯t affect the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even for him and Li Yuan, who seemed to be dazzling every step of the way, they were just participating in a small portion of the major battles at different levels of power.


    Like the Demon Mountain Star Realm battle, the Seven Star Civilization had more than ten demigods participating, and in the end, even demigods fell¡­ at the time, Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation, Fang Hai was adventuring in the Nine Leaves World.


    They were not qualified to participate in the battle.


    This crisis at Lantie Star is just one of the major crises the Seven Star Civilization has encountered in recent decades.


    ¡°If the situation is critical¡ª¡±


    ¡°We will have to invest more resources afterwards to quell this turbulence,¡± Fang Hai said, shaking his head, ¡°for now, we need to send three more demigods to guard Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°The number of demigods within our civilization is too few,¡± Fang Hai shook his head.


    Serving as the Grand Hall Master and Vice Alliance Hierarch for only a year, Fang Hai had felt the difficulties his teacher faced before.


    Bearing the heavy responsibility of a civilization, coordinating the mobilization of various resources, coordinating many powerful figures.


    It¡¯s not like his word alone would command absolute obedience from other demigods¡­ it all requires negotiation.


    The resources of the entire civilization are limited.


    For instance, any Third Level Star Realm must have a demigod to guard the entry points to prevent any mishaps, which consequently means there are very few demigods left to maneuver.


    ¡°I wonder how the teacher is doing,¡± Fang Hai thought to himself.


    Currently, Dongfang Ji is not within the Seven Star Civilization, but aside from Fang Hai and Yun Lao, temporarily no one knows. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 658 - 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 3

    Chapter 658: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 3


    In the void of Feixing, a group of Flying Heaven Warriors were sitting on a warship, speeding forward.


    Occasionally, other Flying Heaven Warriors from different areas of Feixing would board the ship.


    ¡°Li Yuan? Is this Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Level 33!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s improving really fast, Li Yuan¡¯s power must be terrifying by now.¡± Each Flying Heaven Warrior, upon first seeing Li Yuan, would be surprised, and then offer congratulations.


    ¡°I¡¯ve also just broken through not long ago.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Planetary crisis, cannot shirk responsibility.¡± Li Yuan had this set of responses.


    As time passed, the number of Flying Heaven Warriors on the warship had surpassed a hundred.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors couldn¡¯t help but pass this news on to their friends.


    Gradually, the news of Li Yuan breaking into Flying Heaven and reaching level 33 was spreading among the high-level experts of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Inside the warship.


    After greeting everyone, Li Yuan sat quietly in his chair, silently taking a breath. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization has 68 demigods? There are 5 Alien Race Demigod Guest Elders?¡± Li Yuan sighed silently as he reviewed all the demi-god intelligence passed on by the president, ¡°All these Alien Race Demigod Guest Elders, are they staying on Feixing?¡±


    ¡°68 demigods, and only five Semi-Divine Peak Experts?¡± Li Yuan felt the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders.


    Dongfang Ji, Lant Semi-Divine, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, Xin Yu Semi-Divine, Fang Hai Semi-Divine.


    That is to say, before Fang Hai broke through, the Seven Star Civilization had only produced four Semi-Divine Peak Experts.


    Perhaps some demigods have hidden their true strength, but at least in the publicly available intelligence, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s top combat power is just that much.


    ¡°According to intelligence, the Myriad Demons Civilization has thousands of demigods? With about a hundred Semi-Divine Peak Experts?¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    No wonder the Myriad Demons Civilization could produce divines generation after generation, with such a huge base, the hopes of producing a divine is much greater.


    Compared to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the high-level combat power of the Seven Star Civilization is indeed too weak.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization is already like this, what about the even more powerful Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    In this moment.


    Li Yuan fully understood the significance of the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji to the entire civilization¡­ If it weren¡¯t for his divine prowess displayed in the war over Feixing more than a hundred years ago, the Seven Star Civilization would have been extinct long ago.


    ¡°Time!¡±


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization¡¯s rise has been too brief, the oldest demigod is only three to four hundred years old, and they are all still growing rapidly.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Given enough time, many more demigods and Semi-Divine Peak Experts could be born.¡±


    ¡°The four demigods of Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°Only one is at the Semi-Divine Middle Stage, the other three are all at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were full of fighting spirit: ¡°Now, I¡¯m not even qualified to participate in wars of First Level Star Realm and Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°But within the scope of what I can do, I must give it my all.¡±


    ¡­


    The warship was very fast.


    Six hours later, the warship had already carried over a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors, cutting straight through the Sixth Star Realm and entering Lantie Star.


    This was a super-large city, inhabited by tens of millions of people.


    Being the Star Realm Passage between planets, naturally a large population would converge at the entry and exit points, forming a city.


    This city, which was also an important location on Lantie Star, was now filled with countless people continuously flowing into the Sixth Star Realm along the Star Realm Passage.


    Even visible to the naked eye, more flying vessels were rushing in from the ends of the sky.


    A chaotic scene.


    ¡°The news has spread, this kind of planetary crisis.¡±


    ¡°The range of a Flying Heaven level combat is too large; many cities will be destroyed.¡±


    ¡°The death toll has already reached hundreds of millions.¡±


    ¡°No one knows how long the great war will last.¡± A nearby Flying Heaven Warrior spoke somberly: ¡°There¡¯s too little time, the alliance has limited power, and for now, only some elites can be arranged to evacuate to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°But among the countless ordinary people on Lantie Star, anyone with some ability is also desperately trying to escape, trying to leave this planet.¡± Another Flying Heaven Warrior also sighed.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense was powerful. With a mere thought, he could sense the panic and unease on the faces of countless ordinary people below in the city.


    The war had come too unexpectedly.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization was not prepared.


    ¡°Compared to such a planetary crisis, the Fish Spirit Tide is just child¡¯s play.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, his heart heavy.


    Previously, the wars of the Star Realm were mostly fought by martial artists and didn¡¯t much concern ordinary people.


    This time, it was a direct threat to the homeland of the civilization.


    ¡°Back then, the great extinction on Feixing nearly wiped out the entire planet; it was much more tragic than today¡¯s Lantie Star,¡± Li Yuan felt an intense sense of crisis.


    Scenes once seen in textbooks were now becoming reality.


    Today it is Lantie Star, in the future, could it be Blue Star?


    ¡°Never.¡± Li Yuan silently pledged, his eyes filled with a terrible resolve.


    ¡­The warship hovered over the city.


    ¡°Gentlemen.¡±


    Duanmu Hong spoke solemnly: ¡°Your information has all been entered into the ¡®Star System¡¯. Through global positioning, you can check the location of all our powerful ones.¡±


    ¡°White represents Flying Heaven Initial Stage power.¡±


    ¡°Red represents Flying Heaven Middle Stage power.¡±


    ¡°Black represents level 35 Flying Heaven power.¡± Duanmu Hong¡¯s gaze swept over all the experts: ¡°Purple represents the power of a Flying Heaven Star Lord.¡±


    ¡°Gold represents demigod power.¡±


    ¡°But everyone¡¯s access is different; black members and below are not able to see the whereabouts of Flying Heaven Star Lords and demigods, to prevent leaks,¡± Duanmu Hong continued: ¡°Also, you can only view the positions of the powerful within your own patrol areas.¡±


    Everyone listened in silence.


    In such a planetary war with thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors participating, it was very likely that there would be one or two Alien Race spies.


    Therefore, certain anti-leak measures were necessary.

    Chapter 659: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 4


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warriors are indeed numerous,¡± Li Yuan looked down at his smart ring display, which showed purple.


    At the same time, with Li Yuan¡¯s authority, he could accurately locate every Flying Heaven Warrior on the planet.


    This included the position of the four Demigods, all of which could be viewed.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s mission has been issued, act on your own,¡± Duanmu Hong spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Remember, if you encounter an enemy too strong to handle, immediately run for your life and call for help. There is no need to fight to the end.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Boom¡ª The hatch opened, and hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors quickly departed, forming teams and heading towards their target areas.


    Inside the warship, only Li Yuan and Duanmu Hong were left.


    ¡°My mission is to patrol the Yuan Lian Province,¡± Duanmu Hong looked at Li Yuan, ¡°And you?¡±


    ¡°Free action,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Free action?¡± Duanmu Hong was taken aback, and then he understood, ¡°I see¡­ you and Demigod Mu Ji are the same, patrolling the entire globe.¡±


    Thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors had various missions: some were stationed, some patrolled, and some were on inquiry missions.


    But there was only one goal¡ªto slaughter all the Flying Heaven Realm of the Myriad Demons Civilization!


    Similarly, the stronger one was, the larger the area they were usually responsible for.


    Demigod level meant global responsibility. Any trouble the Flying Heaven Star Masters couldn¡¯t handle would be handed over to the Demigods.


    Very soon,


    Li Yuan flew out of the warship, light twisted around him, and he quickly vanished into the sky.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength should have reached the Semi-Divine Level,¡± Duanmu Hong thought to himself, ¡°One more Demigod level being will greatly reduce our losses.¡±


    Swoosh!


    Duanmu Hong piloted the warship and quickly left as well.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, I hope you can help me this time,¡± Li Yuan spoke with the Green Snake coiling around his arm.


    ¡°Big brother¡¯s homeland is my homeland,¡± Liu Bing said solemnly, ¡°What would you like me to do?¡±


    Liu Bing agreed to Li Yuan¡¯s request without hesitation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s split into two groups and gradually explore the continents of the Western Hemisphere,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Eliminate all Flying Heaven Aliens we encounter along the way.¡±


    ¡°With your strength, you should not encounter too much trouble.¡±


    Over a year had passed, and Liu Bing had cultivated to level 36. Her combat strength head-on was terrifying.


    Moreover, her speed was astonishing. Even most Semi-Divine Peak Experts were not as fast as she was.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, big brother, I know what to do,¡± Liu Bing nodded excitedly, ¡°I will try my best to avoid exposing myself. If I conceal my aura, very few of those Flying Heaven Alien Races will even be aware of my existence.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Liu Bing also had a Semi-Divine Level Soul. Although her soul was weaker than his, she was faster in flight¡­ just in terms of exploration speed, she was far superior to him.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Li Yuan and Liu Bing parted ways.


    With their soul connection, they could easily contact each other on the same planet¡­ Li Yuan could also instantly relay the planetary intelligence dynamics to Liu Bing through soul transmission.


    ¡­


    On the other side of the planet, tens of thousands of kilometers away.


    Whoosh!


    A high-speed figure suddenly stopped. With white hair, he was the only Flying Heaven Middle Stage strong individual on Lantie Star, ¡®Demigod Mu Ji¡¯.


    He had been frenziedly exploring.


    ¡°Li Yuan is here?¡± A hint of surprise flickered in Demigod Mu Ji¡¯s eyes, ¡°I¡¯m responsible for the Eastern Hemisphere, and Li Yuan is responsible for the Western Hemisphere?¡±


    He looked at the two messages from Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    ¡°The rumors say Li Yuan is level 33? But according to Fang Hai, Li Yuan already has Semi-Divine Level combat power?¡± Demigod Mu Ji thought to himself.


    ¡°Fang Hai¡¯s words are trustworthy.¡±


    ¡°The search range is halved, which greatly increases the efficiency,¡± mused the Demigod Mu Ji.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    After breaking through to Flying Heaven, Li Yuan¡¯s current flight speed far surpassed his past, swiftly traveling along the planned inquiry route. At the same time, his Divine Sense spread out, perceiving everything along the way.


    Shuttling back and forth.


    ¡°There are no Flying Heaven Alien Race on the surface of this region,¡± Li Yuan quickly moved on to the next area.


    The higher-ups of the Seven Star Civilization had already made a plan.


    They would first inquire near each of the large cities, then the surface of the continents, followed by deeper continental regions, and finally the sea areas¡­ After all, humans do not live in the seas.


    The main goal was to eliminate threats.


    ¡°This region doesn¡¯t have any either,¡± Li Yuan swiftly swept through another area. With his flight speed and the range of his Divine Sense, his inquiry efficiency could match a large group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°It looks like¡­¡±


    ¡°After the first wave of attacks, the Flying Heaven Alien Race from Myriad Demons Civilization is all hiding,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Are these Flying Heaven Aliens waiting for something?¡±


    Li Yuan had a premonition that the principal¡¯s prediction might be correct.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve found three Flying Heaven Aliens and killed them directly,¡± Liu Bing transmitted to Li Yuan, ¡°I¡¯m continuing the inquiry.¡±


    ¡°Good, make every effort to conceal your tracks,¡± Li Yuan replied through soul transmission.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan continued his full-powered search, and after rapidly inquiring in several cities, he finally discovered traces.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°The Power of Heaven and Earth is fluctuating, it¡¯s a Flying Heaven lifeform! But it¡¯s not showing on the planetary map, it¡¯s an Alien Race.¡± Li Yuan sensed the subtle fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth hundreds of kilometers away.


    Such fluctuations cannot be sensed by a common Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s Perception Ability was not inferior to that of a Semi-Divine Peak Expert¡­ He quickly headed there.


    Rumble~


    Li Yuan rapidly broke through the ground, plunging nearly two hundred kilometers deep into the earth in no time.


    Under the envelopment of his Divine Sense.


    ¡°Nest.¡±


    ¡°There are over twenty Flying Heaven Aliens hiding here?¡± Li Yuan confirmed directly.


    In the depths of the earth, there were actually more than twenty Flying Heaven Aliens gathering here.


    They were all humanoid, some with wings, some with four arms, some with scales.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization primarily comprised humanoid warriors, but the races were mixed, with many features of Exotic Beasts.


    ¡°Exterminate!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, and with a thought, a terrifying wave of soul might swept out grandly.


    Sizz sizz sizz~


    The soul like a knife, hot as fire¡ªBurning Heart Blade!!


    ¡°Ah~¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Me?¡± Over twenty Flying Heaven Aliens, the vast majority fell silently and instantly, and a few in the Flying Heaven Middle Stage, after struggling for a few breaths, also died outright.


    So much time had passed, this Soul Slaughter Secret Art had already advanced further, becoming even more formidable.


    Only a Flying Heaven Peak Expert struggled in his eyes.

 Chapter 660 - 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God

    Chapter 660: Chapter 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall, the East Demon Deity examined multiple pieces of intelligence in his hands.


    Not just the East Demon Deity, the incarnation of the Bei Yue Deity was also here, looking at these reports.


    The first report, secretly transmitted from the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization, read, ¡°Li Yuan has broken through to become a Flying Heaven Level, Level 33, and is suspected to have gone to Lantie Star to participate in the war.¡±


    The second report, coming from Lantie Star, mentioned that a significant number of Flying Heaven Realm Martial Artists were silently falling, losing their soul signatures, presumably slain by soul attacks.


    The third report, also from Lantie Star, inferred from the slaughter of those from the Flying Heaven Realm that the Seven Star Civilization must have a presence of three Semi-Divine Level combatants carrying out inquiries and sweeping across the planet¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Three Semi-Divine Level?¡±


    ...


    Bei Yue Deity wondered, ¡°East Demon, according to previous intelligence, weren¡¯t there only four Semi-Divine Level beings from the Seven Star Civilization on Lantie Star?¡±


    ¡°Guarding two passages, there were three Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Only Mu Ji Semi-Divine should have been involved in the large-scale sweep,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°In the early stages of the war, the intelligence only mentioned Mu Ji Deity¡¯s term, how did two more appear?¡±


    ¡°A silent demise, including Flying Heaven Peak Experts? This isn¡¯t something ordinary Semi-Divines can achieve,¡± East Demon Deity spoke softly, ¡°Li Yuan, at the Second Rank, his soul had undergone a transformation to the Semi-Divine Level¡­ Since becoming a Flying Heaven, his body is stronger, nurturing a soul and will that are even more formidable, capable of using soul attacks to cause a Flying Heaven Peak to fall, even directly slaying him, it is possible.¡±


    ¡°Soul erasing a Flying Heaven Peak?¡± Bei Yue Deity¡¯s expression also changed.


    Among the entire assembly of Myriad Demons Deities, there were over a hundred Semi-Divine Peak Experts, but only two could accomplish this feat.


    Li Yuan? Could he do it?


    ¡°Soul methods, increasingly important the further along, Semi-Divines generally have weaker soul research,¡± the East Demon Deity spoke softly, ¡°That Mu Ji Semi-Divine, judging by his flying speed, attack might¡­ the probability of him being at the Semi-Divine Peak is exceedingly small.¡±


    ¡°Fine, let¡¯s assume one of them is Li Yuan,¡± Bei Yue Deity shook his head, ¡°But what about another Semi-Divine Level? Could there be another extremely strong Flying Heaven from the Seven Star Civilization, comparable to a Semi-Divine?¡±


    The war had erupted not even a day ago.


    In such a short time, a Semi-Divine could not possibly reach there.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior temporarily breaking through to Semi-Divine? Normally, they wouldn¡¯t complete the breakthrough so quickly.


    Like the three Flying Heaven Demons of the Myriad Demons Civilization, they were still in the process of breaking through.


    ¡°Two possibilities.¡±


    ¡°One is that the Seven Star Civilization had a Semi-Divine hidden on Lantie Star all along, who didn¡¯t participate in the initial stages of the war and is only now joining,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity slowly said, ¡°The other possibility, do you remember that Flying Serpent following Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°The Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± Bei Yue Deity instantly recalled.


    ¡°Exactly.¡± sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In the Battle of the Flame Surge Star Realm, a Second Rank Flying Serpent endured Ruins Flame Semi-Divine¡¯s distant attacks without dying, its flying speed was even comparable to a Semi-Divine¡­ In terms of strength, actually more terrifying than Li Yuan,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity said, ¡°If this serpent achieved the Third Rank, it having Semi-Divine strength wouldn¡¯t be strange.¡±


    Bei Yue Deity understood.


    All the intelligence, now made sense.


    ¡°Myriad Demon, what is your plan?¡± Bei Yue Deity looked at the Myriad Demons Deity.


    ¡°I have granted Pu Yang, Suhaer, and others Origin Power Arrays traps,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity said, ¡°Originally, the plan was to let them break through to Semi-Divine, then encircle and ambush a Semi-Divine, hoping to kill one or two, then command the hidden army to strike all at once, completely destroying Lantie Star and slaughtering all the Seven Star people.¡±


    ¡°Sadly, the Seven Star Civilization reacted too quickly, discovering the Star Realm Passage in less than three days, immediately commanding Semi-Divines to block the passage, and then a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors conducted global sweeps. So many hidden forces couldn¡¯t stay concealed, they could only reveal some and start attacking,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity shook his head.


    Bei Yue Deity nodded slightly.


    The initial plan was to wait for Pu Yang and the others to become Semi-Divine before launching an attack.


    After all, initiating an attack prematurely, no one could contend with the Seven Stars Semi-Divine¡­ In a face-off between Semi-Divine and Flying Heaven Realm, it¡¯s basically one-sided slaughter.


    Currently.


    Three thousand Flying Heaven from the Myriad Demons Civilization infiltrated into Lantie Star had fallen nearly a thousand¡­ They had destroyed countless cities, killed nearly two hundred million ordinary people, and over three hundred Flying Heaven Warriors from the Seven Stars Civilization died in battle.


    This casualty ratio, the Myriad Demons Civilization could totally bear.


    After all, the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization were tens of times more numerous than those of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Not to mention only a thousand died, even if all three thousand Flying Heaven Realm fell, the East Demon Deity didn¡¯t care.


    But foreseeably, accompanied by the continuous patrols by Mu Ji Deity, Li Yuan, and other Semi-Divine Level forces, no one could restrict them, the casualties among the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven could sharply increase, and the fruits of their victories would continually decrease.


    ¡°It¡¯s a bad thing.¡±


    ¡°But it is also a good thing,¡± the East Demon Deity spoke slowly, ¡°Without such a large-scale assault prompting urgency from the Seven Star Civilization, perhaps they wouldn¡¯t have deployed Li Yuan, their trump card. Against the Flying Heaven Realm, he kills at a faster speed than other Semi-Divines.¡±


    ¡°Right, his soul attack, indeed formidable,¡± Bei Yue Deity also had to admit this point.


    ¡°Li Yuan dares to come, just right.¡±


    ¡°Previously, my plan was to let Pu Yang and the others hunt those few Semi-Divine Initial Rank,¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered, ¡°Now, let¡¯s hunt Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Hunt Li Yuan?¡± Bei Yue Deity was shocked, ¡°Are you confident?¡±


    ¡°His soul attack is powerful, thus, in the intelligence, he is identified as Semi-Divine Level,¡± the East Demon Deity said, ¡°But he¡¯s only Level 33, not even reaching the Third Rank Limit in the Nine Layers Star Technique¡­ His direct combat power is estimated barely at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank.¡±


    ¡°Once Pu Yang and the others three break through, joining hands, setting up a deathtrap, even a Semi-Divine Middle Rank might not escape, killing one Li Yuan, the odds are still quite high,¡± the East Demon Deity spoke somberly.

 Chapter 661 - 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God_2

    Chapter 661: Chapter 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God_2


    Be advised, he had long known that the Demigod Muge was of the Semi-Divine Middle Rank, yet he daringly allowed Pu Yang, Sang Qiu, and their trio to participate in the war, naturally possessing substantial confidence.


    ¡°Could the news of Li Yuan being Level 33 be false?¡± The Bei Yue Deity couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Could Li Yuan already be at Level 36?¡±


    ¡°Level 36?¡± The Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered.


    The elevation of one¡¯s Life Level not only meant stronger Origin Power and Basic Strength but also indicated the capability to cultivate stronger Star Techniques.


    For example, the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, to cultivate it to the Third Rank Limit, one would need to be at least Level 36.


    ¡°The likelihood is not great.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Even if he is a Second Rank Seven Star Vein, breaking through would bring him to Level 32, but the time since his breakthrough to Flying Heaven, it¡¯s highly probable it¡¯s been only a few months, at most two years.¡± The East Demon shook his head, ¡°Less than two years, from Level 32 to 36, do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±


    The Bei Yue Deity hesitated and did not retort.


    ¡°Even if it truly is the worst-case scenario.¡±


    ¡°If Li Yuan has cultivated to Level 36, or even if his Spear Technique has entered the Seventh Stage, his strength would be close to that of Semi-Divine Middle Rank.¡± The eyes of the East Demon Deity were cold, ¡°The three of Pu Yang, if they join forces, might still have a hope of vanquishing him, or at the very least, they could retreat with their whole bodies intact.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, what needs to be done now is to wait for Pu Yang and the others to break through,¡± the Bei Yue Deity was persuaded by the East Demon Deity.


    The predictions of the two deities were indeed not wrong.


    Like Liu Bing, who had cultivated to this point, was already at Level 36.


    But what they indeed couldn¡¯t imagine was that Li Yuan was not only of the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, but he also possessed ¡®Origin Power Infusion,¡¯ and even more so, he had accumulated it a total of three times.


    ¡°The speed of Li Yuan¡¯s Inquiry and Slaughter is too swift.¡±


    ¡°Those Flying Heaven Realm experts in hiding, many of them lurking just beneath the surface, have all been detected.¡± The East Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°They can¡¯t completely hide away; they must continue to attack in batches.¡±


    ¡°To keep Li Yuan and Demigod Muge busy with rescues.¡±


    He directly issued the order.


    If they were to hide completely,


    then Li Yuan, Demigod Muge, and the rest could continue searching, and sooner or later the entire planet would be explored¡­ it could possibly expose Pu Yang, Sang Qiu, and Suhaer ahead of time.


    They must keep Li Yuan and the others forced to remain in the surface area.


    Therefore,


    under the command of the East Demon Deity, the strategy of the vast armies of the Myriad Demons Civilization began to change, forming into teams of dozens of Flying Heaven Realm experts scattered around the globe to assault one city after another.


    They struck and promptly left, without lingering.


    When fleeing, they wouldn¡¯t follow the surface, but would dive directly deep into the earth, hundreds, even thousands of kilometers down¡­ navigating through the mantle layer.


    ¡­


    ¡°Luzhou City has encountered a large-scale attack, with over thirty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.¡±


    ¡°Yanchi Province encountered an assault, with nearly twenty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race, including two at the Flying Heaven Peak.¡±


    ¡°Treehouse Island was attacked, with over twenty confirmed¡­¡±


    One after another, calls for help were swiftly transmitted through the global system.


    At the same time, over twenty cities suffered attacks.


    Now, on Lantie Star, the number of Seven Stars Flying Heaven Realm experts had completely surpassed those of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But the areas they needed to protect were too broad, with billions of people on the entire planet that they couldn¡¯t possibly evacuate, only able to concentrate on defending.


    The Seven Star Civilization could not possibly abandon any major city; to abandon a city would mean the slaughter of millions or even tens of millions¡­ the slaughter speed of Flying Heaven Martial Artists was terrifying.


    Therefore, the fierce Flying Heaven battle erupted anew.


    In some cities, the Seven Star Civilization side would have the upper hand, after all, the Seven Star Civilization would also secretly arrange extremely strong defensive forces in some cities.


    But in many cities, the Seven Star Civilization was at a disadvantage, where a large number of Flying Heaven Martial Artists were killed.


    Then, it would be the mass slaughter of ordinary humans.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The terrifying Flying Heaven Alien Race, flying at several times the speed of sound and at an extremely low altitude over the cities, their Origin Power stirring, invoking their Domain, spreading for hundreds of meters¡­ causing all buildings in their path to collapse, all lives they touch to perish, turning the place into a lifeless domain.


    For some Flying Heaven Martial Artists who had comprehended True Intent, slaughtering was easy.


    Dozens of Flying Heaven experts, just by flying back and forth, could turn a city of a million people into ruins and slaughter most of its inhabitants in just a minute.


    Tragic!


    One hundred and eighty million!


    Two hundred million!


    Two hundred and twenty million!


    ¡­


    On the ¡®Global System¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization, the estimated death toll was rising at an alarming rate, and this was only in the major cities¡­ countless smaller towns couldn¡¯t withstand such assaults.


    ¡°The casualties are too severe.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as though the Myriad Demons Civilization has gone mad.¡±


    ¡°After the initial surprise attack, they evidently hid away, and now they¡¯ve started attacking again.¡±


    ¡°Fight!¡±


    ¡°Fight!¡± The Flying Heaven Martial Artists of the Seven Star Civilization were also resisting with all their might.


    ¡­


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart filled with rage at the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s frenzied counterattack.


    Li Yuan had no good solution.


    His flight speed had already exceeded 20 times the speed of sound, about 8 kilometers per second, but traveling from one major city to another still took at least several minutes.


    For some separated by thousands of kilometers, it took even longer. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In such a long time, many cities¡¯ Flying Heaven battles would have ended¡­ the experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization did not love combat, often striking and leaving at once.


    Of course, there were times when Li Yuan could make it in time.


    Then, the experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization would face annihilation.


    ¡­


    ¡°Flying Heaven is here.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re being attacked by Flying Heaven Aliens.¡± Many ordinary people, hiding in basements and defense installations, were silently praying, with many of them watching the news broadcasts on their smart wristbands.


    The terrifying clashes of Flying Heaven experts were raging in brutal combat.

    Chapter 662: Chapter 360 Target Li Yuan! Name of the Snake God_3


    The battle speed was too fast, and through the satellite-captured images, ordinary people couldn¡¯t see clearly at all.


    Suddenly.


    Boom!


    A dazzling streak of light, moving at a terrifying speed, sprinted across the horizon and reached the void where a large group of Flying Heaven Warriors was fighting in just a few seconds.


    This scene made many ordinary people hold their breathes. Who could it be?


    Whoosh~


    ...


    In the sky, among the large group of Flying Heaven Warriors that was engaged in battle, some of them suddenly plummeted down.


    Dead on the spot!


    ¡°We won!¡±


    ¡°The defense battle in Jiwu City is a straight win!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan, the peerless genius of our Human Race, Li Yuan. It is said that he has a terrifying soul attack capable of exterminating large numbers of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.¡± The excited voice of the news broadcaster came through.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Is it the legendary Li Yuan who once swept through numerous Second Level Star Realms?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Countless ordinary people on Lantie Star remembered Li Yuan¡¯s name.


    ¡­


    The planetary crisis on Lantie Star was not just about the great war on Lantie Star, but it also caught the attention of all planets within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Planets like Feixing, Blue Star, and Heavenly Sea Star, as well as billions of ordinary people within a single planet, were all watching this battle.


    ¡°Join the battle!¡±


    ¡°The Flying Heaven great war.¡±


    ¡°This is a battle to defend our homeland.¡±


    ¡°Today it¡¯s Lantie Star, in the future it could be us.¡±


    ¡°We must win this battle.¡± Countless people watched as the higher-ups of the Seven Star Civilization ordered cities on Lantie Star to broadcast or relay the fight live.


    Each battle, whether won or lost, was part of the history of the entire civilization.


    It would enhance the cohesion of the entire civilization.


    ¡­


    Many ordinary people were unaware of the news within different Star Realms clashing.


    Too many ordinary people were focused on the great war on Lantie Star.


    It also made many participating powerhouses, like Duanmu Hong, enormously influential once they succeeded in the defense battle.


    Others like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef also participated, but their strength was somewhat inferior, naturally less dazzling.


    However, without a doubt, the most famous and eye-catching were those standing at the peak.


    Apart from Li Yuan.


    Mo Ji Demigod was also terrifyingly powerful. Although his slaughter speed wasn¡¯t as fast as Li Yuan¡¯s, his flying speed was even quicker.


    However, in this planetary crisis, compared to Li Yuan and Mo Ji Demigod, the most terrifying and most noticed was actually Liu Bing!


    Her flying speed was simply too frightening, and the number of Myriad Demons Civilization powerhouses that died at her hands was no less than those killed by Li Yuan, and perhaps even more.


    ¡­


    Wansheng City, a medium-sized city with a population of only a few hundred thousand, now also had more than a dozen Flying Heaven Warriors defending it.


    In the past, Wansheng City had never gathered so many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    High above the city, on the outskirts, fierce battles were erupting.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Rumble!¡± Individual Martial Artists or groups teamed up emitting strong auras, were locked in intense battles with more than twenty powerful fighters from the Myriad Demons Civilization who attacked suddenly.


    The battle was extremely fierce.


    Terrifying True Intent fluctuations; a single movement from a Flying Heaven Warrior could collapse a skyscraper or rip the earth open with fissures hundreds of meters long¡­ The Seven Star Civilization was at a disadvantage.


    Both in numbers, and in top combat power, they were far from sufficient.


    ¡°News came through the global system,¡± the leading redhead young man¡¯s voice resounded in every Seven Stars Martial Artist¡¯s mind: ¡°Half a minute! Just half a minute! A Demigod expert will arrive.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Hold on for 30 seconds.¡±


    ¡°Half a minute!¡± More than ten besieged Flying Heaven Warriors, who were originally almost in despair, now showed excitement.


    They had thought, staying in a medium-sized city, they wouldn¡¯t encounter too large-scale attacks.


    It had been safe before, they hadn¡¯t expected that when the Myriad Demons Civilization attacked, it would be deadly.


    They were far outnumbered.


    ¡°30 seconds.¡±


    ¡°As soon as the Demigod arrives, we can slaughter these Alien Races completely and thoroughly protect the hundreds of thousands of our people behind.¡±


    ¡°Hold them off.¡±


    ¡°Even if it costs us our lives, hold them back.¡± The more than ten Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization were fighting desperately.


    Similarly,


    The Myriad Demons Civilization fighters were also attacking furiously, knowing the urgency of time, they must give everything they had.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°We must kill at least two Flying Heaven fighters from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°We must complete the mission to survive.¡±


    ¡°I want to go home.¡± The fighters of the Myriad Demons Civilization also had their own desires, they came with orders, and also longed to return home.


    To return home, they had to make meritorious deeds!


    Only by killing the enemy would they qualify to return home¡­ Being in a foreign domain, they had no choice but to fight desperately.


    Boom!


    Time ticked away second by second, one Flying Heaven Warrior after another fell in battle, mostly from the Seven Star Civilization, as they were at a sheer disadvantage.


    Thirty seconds!


    For Flying Heaven Warriors, this level of engagement seemed an exceedingly long era.


    ¡°We¡¯re going all out.¡±


    ¡°Kill! Kill!¡± The warriors of the Seven Star Civilization tried their hardest to resist, their hearts filled with hope.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Roar~¡± A piercing scream reverberated through the Vast Sky, the sound imbued with Origin Power, echoing instantly across dozens of miles.


    Boom!


    A terrifying figure, glowing with dazzling blue light, crossed the void as if it was at the edge of the universe one second and arrived at the battlefield the next.


    Might was overwhelming! The brilliance was blinding!


    ¡°Demigod!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Divine Snake, our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Divine Snake.¡± The remaining eight Flying Heaven experts of the Seven Star Civilization were immensely excited, recognizing the newcomer.


    Indeed.


    After so many interventions, Liu Bing had fully revealed herself, reverently referred to as the ¡°Divine Snake.¡±


    ¡°Flee.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s come so quickly.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that Flying Serpent, let¡¯s go!¡± The group of Myriad Demons Civilization warriors panicked¡ªthey had appeared to attack less than a minute ago¡­ They usually fled after one minute.


    Once they fled, burying deep into the earth, tracking them down would become difficult.


    But Liu Bing arrived too fast.


    Boom!


    An immense spread of blue light; Liu Bing¡¯s speed easily surged beyond 12 kilometers per second, terrifying Law Fluctuations swept across miles¡­ One by one, opposing Flying Heaven warriors fell, only two at the Flying Heaven Peak managed to withstand.


    ¡°Die!¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes were ice-cold as she closed in.


    Rip~


    Terrifying claw light tore through the sky and earth, instantly killing two Alien Race warriors at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    After reaching Level 36, she had honed all three Nine Layer Star Techniques to perfection, her combat power reaching a new level.


    In just a few seconds.


    Liu Bing had already crossed dozens of miles, slaughtering more than twenty Flying Heaven experts from the Myriad Demons Civilization, swiftly collecting all the leftover treasures.


    ¡°Thank Divine Snake,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors gratefully said.


    Without Liu Bing¡¯s timely arrival, they would have certainly died.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Liu Bing glanced at them briefly, then disappeared into the horizon amidst a surge of blue light.


    ¡­


    ¡°Divine Snake!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s so powerful, with a flying speed surpassing 12 kilometers per second, blending seamlessly with nature. How many demigods can achieve that?¡± The live stream hosts were dumbfounded.


    Not just ordinary people.


    Even the demigods who had been following the grand battle at Lantie Star were astounded.


    ¡°Divine Snake, supposedly Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast and just at the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°So powerful, when has my Seven Star Civilization ever had such a terrifying Exotic Beast?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan himself is formidable, and his Spirit Beast even more so!¡± These demigods sighed.


    If a few years ago a demigod harbored ulterior motives, now, such thoughts have completely extinguished.


    Both Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s growth rates were terrifying, beyond their imagination.


    A powerful soul attack, flying speeds comparable to Semi-Divine Peak¡­ Once Li Yuan and his Spirit Beast joined forces, looking across the entire Seven Star Civilization, how many demigods could compete?


    ¡°Divine Snake.¡±


    ¡°This is a blessing for my Seven Star Civilization.¡± Among the Seven Star Civilization, countless ordinary people were discussing ¡®Liu Bing,¡¯ many even began worshiping her.


    ¡­


    In the void, Li Yuan continued to travel swiftly to the next area, his Divine Sense completely unleashed, constantly inquiring in all directions.


    ¡°Six days now.¡±


    ¡°This crisis on the planet should be nearing its end.¡± Li Yuan felt quite weary in spirit.


    For six days, he had barely rested at all.


    Either he was on a rescue mission, or exploring and patrolling various regions.


    Plus, these days, he had constantly been deploying soul attacks¡­ which greatly burdened his soul.


    The results of the battles were substantial.


    To date, the Seven Star Civilization side had killed over 2500 Flying Heaven warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Of course, the casualties on the Seven Star Civilization side were also heavy, with over 800 Flying Heaven warriors dead and hundreds of millions of ordinary people.


    Now, over 7000 Flying Heaven Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization had gathered on Lantie Star, scattered across the planet.


    Li Yuan had not received any distress calls for over three hours.


    And his continuous inquiries had also gone several minutes without detecting any Flying Heaven Alien Race.

 Chapter 663 - 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain

    Chapter 663: Chapter 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain


    Lantie Star, Sharp Mountain Bay City, located on the edge of the vast ocean, this area was quite remote.


    Boom!


    A dazzling streak of light fell from the sky and hovered hundreds of meters above ground, immediately revealing the figure of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Less than five minutes and this town has been completely destroyed?¡± Li Yuan stared at the ruins of the town below. With his powerful divine sense, he could envelop the entire town.


    Broken walls and shattered remnants of buildings lay collapsed. With Li Yuan¡¯s divine sense covering the area, there were thousands of ordinary people¡¯s corpses, and many more victims whose bones were hard to identify.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    ...


    Swoosh! Three figures suddenly rushed out from the ruins and swiftly appeared before Li Yuan, each of them bowing respectfully: ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    So many days had passed, and with each of his interventions, the Seven Star Alliance had long since announced him as a Star Master, currently classified as a ¡®Third Class Star Master.¡¯


    It was just that not much time had passed, and he had not yet attended the highest meeting of the Alliance.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s understanding, Star Masters in the Seven Star Alliance were roughly divided into three levels.


    Flying Heaven Star Masters, usually stellar warriors of level 36 like Duanmu Hong, or some extremely strong existences among level 35 Flying Heaven Warriors, all belonged to Third Class Star Masters.


    Second Class Star Masters, the vast majority of demigods belonged to this level.


    First Rank Star Masters were usually Semi-Divine Peak Experts, in addition to some who had made great contributions and held special status among Semi-Divine Middle Rank warriors.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine, although only level 44, was also a First Rank Star Master.


    Above that were Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji and two Vice Alliance Hierarchs.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s true strength, serving as a Second Class Star Master was more than sufficient¡­ but since he was still acting as ¡®bait,¡¯ he would naturally not expose himself directly.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°We arrived here in the second minute after receiving the distress message,¡± said the leading woman in black armor, with a wry smile: ¡°But by then, the Alien Race had already fled, and more than eighty percent of the tens of thousands of people in this town were dead or injured. It must have been one or two Flying Heaven Aliens.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly. He had been on Lantie Star for nearly eight days, and the planet¡¯s war had long since neared its end.


    However, occasional attacks were still happening.


    Perhaps because there were fewer remaining strong warriors, or perhaps because the high command of the Myriad Demons Civilization had changed their attack plans¡­ In any case, Flying Heaven warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization were now splitting up their attacks, solely targeting small cities and towns.


    It was impossible to guard against.


    Over 7000 Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization seemed numerous, but major cities required a large contingent of Flying Heaven Warriors for protection.


    After all, though it seemed the Myriad Demons Civilization no longer attacked major cities, the Seven Star Civilization had to defend vigorously.


    A moment¡¯s relaxation could lead to casualties in the millions.


    Thus, adding to those searching underground and the ocean, the Flying Heaven Warriors who could be spared to protect the many small cities and towns were very few in number.


    ¡°The main issue is the destructive power of those at the Flying Heaven Realm,¡± another warrior in purple armor commented, shaking his head: ¡°If it were just level one or level two Aliens¡­ they simply couldn¡¯t destroy so many defensive structures so quickly.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Each city, each building was specifically reinforced, effectively resisting attacks from second rank Aliens¡­ but to Flying Heaven Warriors, steel plate and soil had little difference.


    Such large-scale attacks covering an entire planet happened only once in many years¡­ Only such an event could be called a planetary crisis.


    ¡°You have all worked hard.¡±


    ¡°Stay stationed here for a while longer, then continue patrolling according to orders,¡± Li Yuan instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the three Flying Heaven Warriors replied respectfully.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and flew off into the distance.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan is quite courteous toward us,¡± the man in purple armor said softly.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan has made huge contributions to our entire civilization, spearheading several major battles,¡± the woman in black armor whispered: ¡°Logically speaking, he¡¯s only level 33 now. Although his strength is extremely formidable, there should still be a lot of room for improvement¡­ Now being in the public eye actually makes him an easy target for the Alien Race to assassinate, but he still came.¡±


    ¡°In the eyes of the Alien Race, his value is probably higher than ten demigods,¡± the woman in black armor said.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say Star Lord Li Yuan has the strength of a demigod?¡± the man in purple armor couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°With such terrifying strength, how could the Myriad Demons Civilization assassinate him? There¡¯s only a Third Level Star Realm Passage on Lantie Star, and demigods can¡¯t pass through it.¡±


    In the hearts of most Flying Heaven Warriors, demigods were the pinnacle of the entire civilization¡¯s combat power.


    They would not easily fall.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan is powerful because of his soul attacks, but against a demigod, soul attacks are probably useless,¡± the woman in black armor shook her head: ¡°Whether his frontal combat power is at the Semi-Divine Level¡­ it¡¯s hard to say, given that he¡¯s only level 33.¡±


    ¡°If his Spear Technique hasn¡¯t reached the legendary Law Level, he probably doesn¡¯t have Semi-Divine Level strength,¡± the woman in black armor said.


    The other two nodded in agreement.


    According to their intelligence, two years ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique seemed to have reached Semi-Divine Level (Sixth Stage Perfection), but not up to Seventh Stage¡­ two years had passed, had this legendary prodigy of their civilization comprehended the Law?


    Strength, after all, is closely related not only to Life Level, but also to Star Technique and Law Comprehension.


    ¡°As for the assassination?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization sent thousands of Flying Heaven warriors, could it be that none of the Aliens made breakthroughs and turned into demigods?¡± the woman in black armor sighed: ¡°So much time has passed, it¡¯s possible that the Myriad Demons Civilization has secretly had some breakthroughs into becoming demigods.¡± S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    These simple words gave everyone present a shock.


    Alien Race demigods?


    That was nothing short of a nightmare.


    ¡°Does that mean Star Lord Li Yuan is in great danger?¡± the silent figure in the black robe said in a deep voice: ¡°Should we warn Star Lord Li Yuan?¡±

 Chapter 664 - 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain_2

    Chapter 664: Chapter 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain_2


    ¡°We can¡¯t think of anything that the demigods wouldn¡¯t have thought of,¡± the woman in black armor shook her head. ¡°To still have Li Yuan, the Star Master, come to Lantie Star to join the battle must mean there is some assurance.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s all just do our duties.¡±


    Soon after, the three Flying Heaven Warriors surveyed the town once again and rescued many buried people before quickly departing¡­ Their main mission wasn¡¯t here.


    ¡­


    ¡°The casualties are too high.¡± Li Yuan thought silently, the number of Flying Heaven Alien Race who died by his hand had exceeded six hundred.


    But casualties were unavoidable.


    ... S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    These days, Li Yuan had seen too many destroyed cities, too many human corpses.


    Nearly one-tenth of Lantie Star¡¯s population had been slaughtered¡­


    ¡°This is still because of the major stars¡¯ continuous support and the full protection by me, Liu Bing, and a few other demigods.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly. ¡°Without these demigod-level combat forces, without the Flying Heaven from various stars¡­ after such a long time, Lantie Star might have been wiped out.¡±


    This was a civilization war.


    There was no good or evil, the Alien Race came specifically to slaughter.


    ¡°Civilization war!¡±


    ¡°Survival.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself. ¡°Before the Alliance Hierarch rose to power, nearly all the Foreign Civilizations we came into contact with tried to invade us, and it was only later that they were successively repelled¡­ Over the past hundred years, most Foreign Civilizations have become much more peaceful, and fewer dare to wage direct war against us.¡±


    ¡°Last time, I slaughtered so many Second Level Star Realm warriors¡­ Most Foreign Civilizations didn¡¯t dare say anything.¡±


    ¡°Even the Cloud Beast Civilization rarely made harsh statements anymore.¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Instead, they seemed to be seeking peace with us.¡±


    Why? The Seven Star Civilization had grown stronger.


    With Dongfang Wu before and Fang Hai after, the younger generation like Li Yuan.


    The rise of the Seven Star Civilization had already made many godless Foreign Civilizations tremble in fear.


    ¡°My Divine Sense¡¯s inquiry range is still too small, only able to spread about ten kilometers. Just surveying the surface takes a long time,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Not to mention exploring the entire planet¡­ To survey the whole planet would take too slow.¡±


    ¡°If I had a Pseudo-God Level Soul¡­ My Divine Sense could spread over hundreds of kilometers, and the inquiry efficiency would be hundreds of times faster.¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Perhaps in just a day or two, I could survey the entire planet inside and out.¡±


    If only.


    A year and more after breaking through to Flying Heaven, although Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had reached Level 48, rising from Level 48 to Level 50 was not something that could be achieved in a short time.


    ¡°If my strength could be stronger, reaching the Semi-Divine Peak level.¡±


    ¡°My speed would be faster, I could save more people.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes showed longing. ¡°Even, I could penetrate into many Third Level Star Realms, and even directly strike the enemy civilizations on their home planets, bringing the war to their territory.¡±


    All this time, the Seven Star Civilization and too many Foreign Civilizations shared realms, and just defending the numerous realms was difficult.


    Let alone launching an offensive?


    But Li Yuan also had desires and goals.


    In the past, he could sweep through Second Level Star Realms¡­ In the future, he could do the same with all Third Level Star Realms.


    Even completely destroy many enemy civilizations.


    ¡°Erasing a race from history is the utmost respect to the enemy and to the ancestors of the past generations.¡± The more Li Yuan saw, the clearer he became on what he needed to do.


    For the survival and strengthening of civilization, anything could be done.


    ¡­


    Lantie Star, deep underground about 4,000 kilometers down, where the temperature was extremely high, scorching hot.


    But such harsh conditions meant little to Semi-Divine Level warriors.


    Roaring ¨C Terrifying black clouds, grand and imposing, enveloped a kilometer radius, expelling all matter within this kilometer to ensure no one could pry.


    Within the black clouds.


    ¡°Suhaer, Sang Qiu,¡± the bald muscular man Pu Yang, exuding a far more terrifying aura than before, spoke in a deep voice. ¡°You should all have seen the latest command from the Eastern Demon Deity. Right now, we living Flying Heaven warriors don¡¯t even number eight hundred. Continuing these attacks won¡¯t have much impact on the Seven Star Civilization anymore.¡±


    ¡°Maybe sometime, Li Yuan will withdraw.¡±


    ¡°So, the Eastern Demon Deity commands us to quickly set up a deathtrap to kill Li Yuan. What are your thoughts?¡±


    ¡°What thoughts can there be? We¡¯ve all become demigods.¡± The woman in silver garments ¡®Sang Qiu¡¯ shook her head. ¡°Before coming here, we all swore the Threshold of the Law oaths, we must obey commands¡­ Do you want to break the oath?¡±


    ¡°I and Suhaer don¡¯t mind.¡± Sang Qiu said. ¡°Pu Yang, you have stepped into the Threshold of the Law, you should be sensing it.¡±


    Among the three major Flying Heaven warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization, Suhaer and Sang Qiu had only achieved Sixth Stage Perfection in True Intent Comprehension, meeting the minimum requirement to become a Semi-Divine.


    But only Pu Yang, after training in the Flying Heaven Realm for 150 years, not only awakened the Six Star Pulse but had also stepped into the Threshold of the Law; he was one of the most powerful Flying Heaven warriors in this era of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    It could be said¡­


    If Pu Yang grew normally, he had a very high chance of reaching the Semi-Divine Peak in the future, theoretically even a slight chance to Ascend to God.


    This was also why the Eastern Demon Deity chose him as the leader.


    With such strength, once he achieved demi-godhood, he would have the strength necessary to compete with the Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divine.

 Chapter 665 - 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain_3

    Chapter 665: Chapter 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain_3


    But upon arriving in the Seven Star Civilization, they had significant autonomy.


    ¡°We can¡¯t return to our hometown,¡± said the Suhaer Semi-Divine, looking over the two companions, ¡°but the Seven Star Civilization will not trust us. They will only want to kill us, and even if we submit to the Seven Star Civilization¡­ becoming a servant is the best outcome.¡±


    ¡°We cannot collaborate with the Seven Star Civilization,¡± declared the Suhaer Semi-Divine solemnly.


    Suhaer and Sang Qiu couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    ¡°The Eastern Demon Deity has promised that as long as we can kill Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Then, he would arrange for Tassi Semi-Divine, Florence Semi-Divine, at the edge of the Star Realm Passage, to deliver treasures worth 200 Divine Crystals to us, aiding us in quickly reaching the Semi-Divine Peak,¡± stated the Suhaer Semi-Divine.


    ...


    Suhaer and Sang Qiu were tempted.


    Before their arrival, although the Eastern Demon Deity had coerced and enticed them, he had truly bestowed a large number of treasures, including powerful divine artifacts¡­ If they were in the Myriad Demons Civilization, even if they became semi-divine, they would not receive these treasures.


    But upon arriving in the Seven Star Civilization, they were directly granted.


    ¡°If we could kill Li Yuan, it would also eliminate a future calamity,¡± stated Suhaer gravely. ¡°As long as we successfully kill him, the Eastern Demon Deity should keep his promise, and as long as we don¡¯t die, our significance to the entire civilization would still be substantial.


    ¡°Right, plan to kill Li Yuan,¡± Sang Qiu spoke softly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°We have just completed our breakthrough,¡± Pu Yang whispered. ¡°Let¡¯s first train our Star Technique to the Fourth Rank and further control the divine artifacts¡­ Let our power enhance further before we proceed with the plan.¡±


    Previously, for over ten days, the three of them had been separately secluding themselves deep within the stars for their breakthroughs.


    Today, they gathered together for the first time.


    ¡°We are only at level 40; it¡¯s hard to train the Sixth Layer Star Technique to the Fourth Rank Limit. We can only get an introduction at most, it wouldn¡¯t take too long,¡± Suhaer said deeply.


    Normally, a Physical Quality of level 42 is needed to train the Sixth and Seventh Layers Star Technique to the Fourth Rank Limit.


    But clearly, there wasn¡¯t much time left for the three semi-divine beings to slowly train.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Just getting our Star Technique to the Fourth Rank is sufficient,¡± said the Suhaer Semi-Divine. ¡°Our main strategy in killing Li Yuan relies not on ourselves but on the Origin Power Array formed from the divine artifacts.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s settled then.¡±


    ¡°We have determined the general area where Li Yuan operates based on the position of the deceased from Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°In ten days, we take official action,¡± declared the Suhaer Semi-Divine, and both Suhaer and Sang Qiu agreed.


    After reporting to the Eastern Demon Deity, they continued to stay here and concentrate on their cultivation.


    The three semi-divines did not separate anymore.


    Previously, they were scattered and had not yet made their breakthrough into semi-divinity, fearing that the Seven Star Civilization might wipe them out¡­ Now that they had all completed their breakthroughs, it was natural for them to gather together, and even if they encountered a Semi-Divine of the Middle Rank like ¡®Mu Ji Semi-Divine,¡¯ they were confident that they could escape unscathed together.


    ¡­


    Soon, to coordinate with the three semi-divines, the Eastern Demon Deity once again ordered the powers of the Wan Mo on Lantie Star to spread out and hide, while still maintaining low-frequency attacks¡­ forcing the strong beings of Seven Star Civilization to remain on full alert.


    In the blink of an eye, twelve days later.


    Lantie Star.


    In a vast void.


    ¡°These days, we have roughly explored every major sea area, but the number of Flying Heaven Alien Race found has reduced further,¡± Li Yuan walked along the seabed, accompanied by invisible fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth, causing the surrounding water to scatter.


    For the past five or six days, only about twenty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race had been found and killed each day on Lantie Star.


    ¡°According to the principal, San Ye Semi-Divine, and their estimations, there should not be more than 500 members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race left now, most of whom are hiding deep underground,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°To capture them all, it would take a group of semi-divines, sweeping through the entire planet again and again.¡±


    Only by repeated screening could they avoid any that slip through the net.


    With only Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Mu Ji Semi-Divine, it would be a massive undertaking.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly received an alert and immediately checked it, only to see that nearly instantly, six distress calls appeared in the ¡®global system¡¯ of the smart ring, all marked with red warnings.


    ¡°Six spots? Three in the Eastern Hemisphere, three in the Western Hemisphere,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly. ¡°In the Western Hemisphere, two of the locations are in the north, one in the south.¡±


    Li Yuan was primarily responsible for the southern region of the Western Hemisphere. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And a red warning indicated an encounter with more than fifty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    Six locations.


    This indicated that for this wave of attacks, the Myriad Demons Civilization had mobilized at least three hundred members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race¡­ After sustaining the battlefield for so long, could it be the Myriad Demons Civilization still dared to concentrate the limited remaining forces on a large scale?


    Was it their final struggle?


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, rushing at full speed to the nearest attacked location.


    No matter what plans the Myriad Demons Civilization had, he must first rush over there because the cities under attack were major cities with populations of at least several million¡­ If they fell, the consequences would be severe.


    Simultaneously.


    Mu Ji Semi-Divine and Liu Bing also rushed to the cities under attack¡­ as did many free-patrolling teams of Flying Heaven Warriors, speeding crazily to provide support.


    ¡°The attacked city is Dream City.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not far from me.¡±


    ¡°I can get there in one minute,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling cautious.


    ¡­


    Dream City, a major city with a population of over ten million, covered a vast area spanning dozens of kilometers.


    At this moment, numerous Flying Heaven Warriors were engaged in fierce combat within the city, one side aiming to kill more Flying Heaven beings and ordinary people, while the other side desperately resisted.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°The semi-divine will arrive in one minute.¡±


    ¡°Keep them at bay!¡± The thirty-plus Flying Heaven Warriors responsible for defense had all been fully mobilized.

    Chapter 666: Chapter 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain_4


    In the depths of the earth, tens of kilometers down.


    Three figures utilizing divine artifacts and exerting their full strength to conceal their own aura were positioned tens of kilometers apart from each other in a triangular formation, faintly surrounding the entire urban area of Dream City.


    ¡°Pu Yang, will this move work?¡± Sang Qiu transmitted a message using his magical treasure.


    ¡°After so many days and the death of thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, we¡¯ve ascertained the approximate range of activity for the three demigods with combat power,¡± Pu Yang said. ¡°The other five spots are merely feints, meant to attract the attention of the Demigod Mu Ji and that Flying Serpent.¡±


    ¡°Dream City is the only large city within Li Yuan¡¯s area of activity that has been attacked. He should come,¡± Pu Yang said.


    ¡°And if he doesn¡¯t come?¡± Sang Qiu asked, puzzled.


    ...


    ¡°Then we activate the divine artifact formation, destroy the entire city, and then withdraw,¡± Pu Yang said indifferently. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t come, we¡¯ll go on to destroy city by city¡­ slaughter the entire planet completely.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Suhaer and Sang Qiu both nodded slightly.


    The three demigods quietly sensed the Flying Heaven battle that had broken out in the city above.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°He¡¯s here,¡± Pu Yang Demigod¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s come quite fast, no need to implement the second plan.¡±


    ¡­


    It only took Li Yuan a minute to reach Dream City at full burst speed, where he immediately saw the grand battle erupting in the void.


    A Flying Heaven Realm battle, if even slightly impacted, could result in the death of a large number of ordinary people.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan approached at high speed, directly charging into the city, now reduced to ruins. The Flying Heaven Alien Race had already sensed Li Yuan¡¯s arrival and, in their shock and rage, were contemplating fleeing for their lives.


    Hum~ Hum~ The invisible soul fluctuations spread out, any Flying Heaven Alien Race that came within five kilometers of Li Yuan almost instantly perished, plummeting down.


    Even a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, if their will was slightly weaker, faced the risk of falling to Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack ¡°Burning Heart Blade.¡±


    In the blink of an eye.


    More than a dozen Flying Heaven Alien Race members had died.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan!¡± the warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, one by one, showed expressions of excitement.


    Just then.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan keenly perceived the sudden and drastic changes in the power of heaven and earth surrounding him; the heavens and earth within a radius of tens of kilometers seemed to have changed in that moment.


    Boom boom boom~ From all directions, above and below, massive black clouds surged into existence suddenly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In three different directions, Li Yuan sensed through the power of heaven and earth three terrifying forces erupting.


    ¡°Mysteries of Earth! Mysteries of Wood! Mysteries of Water!¡± Li Yuan distinguished the power fluctuations from the three different directions.


    The three forces, each distinct, yet vaguely unified, converged to form a single entity, interlocking and gathering together, directly sealing off a vast area spanning tens of kilometers.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°A demigod-level Origin Power Array,¡± Li Yuan identified almost instantly as soon as the colossal array erupted.


    In fact.


    If Li Yuan had fled immediately, with his burst speed, there was a small chance he could have broken out of the array¡¯s range.


    But in that instant, Li Yuan didn¡¯t flee. Instead, he stood in the void.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan directly executed the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±, simultaneously activating the battle armor ¡®Nine Dragons Xuan Armor¡¯ on his body.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± Nine Yellow Dragons roared, surrounding him with a vast expanse of earthy yellow airflow like nine terrifying rivers, instantly enveloping a nearly ten-kilometer radius.


    Protecting most of the Flying Heaven Martial Artists and the millions of ordinary people within that range.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s domain collided violently with the black clouds surging towards him, immediately stirring up terrifying shockwaves.


    The might of the terrible black clouds continued to pound against Li Yuan¡¯s domain but could only suppress those nine Yellow Dragons, unable to completely shatter them.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Our three demigods joined forces, based on three divine artifacts and in cooperation with seventy-two prearranged Semi Divine Artifacts as keystones for an Origin Power Array, and we can¡¯t even shatter Li Yuan¡¯s domain?¡± Pu Yang Demigod, Suhaer Demigod, and Sang Qiu Demigod were all stunned.

 Chapter 667 - 362 Fierce Battle with a Demigod

    Chapter 667: Chapter 362 Fierce Battle with a Demigod


    ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡±


    ¡°Is it a secret treasure?¡±


    ¡°How can he, a Flying Heaven Level warrior, wield such a powerful domain? Even if a Mid-Rank Demigod were to unleash their Domain Star Technique, they might not be able to keep up with Li Yuan,¡± Pu Yang Demigod and others felt a sense of foreboding in their hearts.


    According to the intelligence they had gathered,


    even in the worst-case scenario, where Li Yuan had reached Level 36 and mastered the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, with his Spear Technique also far surpassing that from two years ago, his strength should only be close to that of a Mid-Rank Demigod.


    Thus, once they deployed the Origin Power Array, they should easily suppress Li Yuan.


    ...


    But now, the situation was completely different.


    Merely from the might of the domain Li Yuan unleashed, they could sense his terrifying power.


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has not only reached Level 36 but also mastered the Nine Layer Domain Star Technique?¡± Pu Yang Demigod had a thought flash through his mind, ¡°But even so, his domain shouldn¡¯t be able to withstand our Origin Power Array, right?¡±


    His guess was indeed not wrong.


    But what he couldn¡¯t imagine was that Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level was even stronger than they had anticipated, not Level 36, but reaching Level 38.9!!


    Furthermore,


    Li Yuan¡¯s domain was not only composed of the Domain Star Technique but was also bolstered by the might of the Divine Artifact ¡®Nine Dragons Xuan Armor.¡¯


    Only with this could he withstand the impact of a Demigod-level formation.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The entire Origin Power Array covered an area with a side length of about thirty kilometers in the shape of a triangle, while Li Yuan¡¯s domain could only protect the very middle part; for the peripheral areas, Li Yuan had no way to¡­ immediately, within the range of the Origin Power Array, dark clouds crushed everything, every high-rise building and street was destroyed, resembling the tornado of extinction, turning countless cars, metals, into ruins in an instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The ground tore apart, instantly shattered, and within this area, all people, whether Martial Artists or unranked ordinary people, died in an instant.


    ¡°I won¡¯t!¡± A top-level Origin Martial Artist clenched his teeth and roared, sprinting, trying to dodge, and was immediately pierced through by a strand of black cloud.


    Puchi~ Dead!


    ¡°Flee.¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior cried out in anger while attempting to flee in flight, only to be immediately engulfed by a large mass of black clouds and directly shredded.


    Below in underground bunkers, some so-called wealthy people were trembling. This was the ¡®safe room¡¯ they had spent tens of millions to build.


    Boom! The black cloud directly tore apart the so-called safe room, and the people inside were instantly affected and killed.


    ¡­


    It may seem slow in narration, but it was merely a single encounter.


    Inside the vast Origin Power Array, apart from the ten-kilometer radius centered on Li Yuan, all other areas had collapsed, all buildings were destroyed, all life was slaughtered.


    In one second, more than four million ordinary people were wiped out! S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A bustling city vanished into thin air.


    This was the clash of Demigods! Their fights were like the collisions of actual nuclear weapons.


    A single Demigod, given enough time, and if unobstructed, could destroy the entire planet.


    ¡°Damn it.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold. Even though he had anticipated this, seeing this scene still made it hard to suppress the killing intent in his heart.


    Why didn¡¯t he hide just now?


    It was because he realized that once he fled, then not one of the millions of people in the city center would survive.


    ¡°Demigod-level Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Alien Race Demigods! Three of them.¡± Li Yuan had already sensed the presence of the three great Demigods.


    Just now, they used Divine Artifacts to conceal themselves and were too distant, beyond the range of his Divine Sense, so Li Yuan couldn¡¯t detect them.


    Now that they had erupted, he could naturally sense them, though vaguely.


    ¡°Little Ice, I¡¯ve encountered a Demigod. Come quickly. The coordinates are¡­¡± Li Yuan immediately communicated to Liu Bing through soul transmission.


    ¡°Sang Qiu Demigod, Alien Race Demigods have appeared, there are three of them, the coordinates are¡­¡± Li Yuan also immediately transmitted the message to Sang Qiu Demigod.


    At the same time, he passed the information to the higher echelons of the Seven Star Civilization as soon as possible.


    Three Demigods posed an extremely great threat.


    ¡°Sister, I need your help. Try to get as many people as possible from this area into the Cave Heaven Treasure. Can you do that?¡± Li Yuan transmitted directly to Gu You.


    Killing the enemy Demigods was the top priority.


    Killing one Demigod had better effects than slaughtering hundreds of millions of ordinary people.


    But once the protective domain was lost, the millions of people still alive in the Origin Power Array would undoubtedly die¡­ Li Yuan naturally couldn¡¯t bear to see this happen.


    ¡°I need some time.¡±


    ¡°Besides, once you do this, you won¡¯t be able to keep the fact that you have a Cave Heaven Treasure a secret anymore,¡± Gu You transmitted back instantly, ¡°A Cave Heaven Treasure is at least a Pseudo-God Artifact, and one of the particularly valuable kind.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±


    ¡°Even if the Alien Race knows, they can¡¯t do anything to me,¡± Li Yuan said calmly, ¡°And within our civilization, no one would dare covet my treasure.¡±


    He had many secrets that couldn¡¯t be exposed before because he wasn¡¯t strong enough.


    Now? Having achieved Flying Heaven and after nearly two years of Concealed Cultivation, Li Yuan had enough confidence in his own strength¡­ If he wasn¡¯t confident, he wouldn¡¯t dare to use himself as bait while patrolling this area.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    A sphere emerged on Li Yuan¡¯s back, bursting forth with dazzling light. It was the Ancient Divine Palace in all its might, its intangible light permeating into every part of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, covering the millions of ordinary people in the area, as well as a large number of Origin Martial Artists.


    And the nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Hum~¡± ¡°Hum~¡± The millions of ordinary people were almost instantly transferred away, taken into the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ As a ¡®True God Instrument¡¯, the Ancient Divine Palace contained vast areas, temporarily accommodating millions of ordinary people was not difficult.


    Only those Flying Heaven warriors possessed great strength; even the Ancient Divine Palace could not forcibly move them.


    ¡°Don¡¯t resist.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t resist,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s urgent voice echoed simultaneously in the minds of more than a dozen Flying Heaven warriors.


    ¡°It¡¯s the voice of Star Master Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°It must be a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Has the hostile Demigod made their move?¡± The Flying Heaven warriors, sensing the vast might of the Origin Power Array far beyond their imagination, immediately ceased resistance.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The clash lasted only a few seconds, and as Li Yuan completed the transmission for help, he had already teleported all those within his domain into the Ancient Divine Palace,


    And in passing, slaughtered all of the Alien Race¡¯s Flying Heaven.


    At this moment,


    Demigod Pu Yang, Demigod Sang Qiu, and Demigod Suhaer, after their initial shock, were fully mobilizing the Origin Power Array and each offered up their lethal divine artifacts.


    They, the three of them, had been bestowed with plenty of treasures for cultivation breakthroughs, as well as many Semi Divine Artifacts to form the foundation of the Origin Power Array.


    The most valuable of which were three Divine Artifacts each.


    One artifact was used to construct the Origin Power Array, whose might would grow stronger as their own strength increased.


    Another artifact was a Protective Battle Armor.


    The last artifact was a lethal divine artifact, capable of directly unleashing its power in combination with the Origin Power Array.


    ¡°Condense!¡± Sang Qiu pointed from afar, and vast clouds of darkness converged to form a hundred-zhang-tall body coated with flowing water.


    The body exuded a majestic aura, resembling that of a true Demigod.


    This was the Origin Power Dharma Body, which Sang Qiu Demigod had refined using the Origin Power Array in combination with a Divine Artifact. It was much stronger than a standard Demigod¡¯s refined ¡®Origin Power Dharma Body¡¯ and was even more powerful than Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s own self.


    And it required her full attention to control.


    Whoosh!


    A Divine Bow appeared in the hands of the Origin Power Dharma Body, which was drawn immediately, instigating a terrifying fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Origin Power that formed a dazzling arrow on the bow.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    The terrifying arrow shot out instantly towards Li Yuan.


    This spectacle drew the attention of Demigods Pu Yang and Suhaer, who had also condensed Origin Power Dharma Bodies using the Formation, though their Dharma Bodies carried close-combat divine artifacts and had yet to get close to Li Yuan.


    A brilliant streak of light shot across the sky.


    Bolstered by the dark clouds, its might surged, its speed skyrocketed, and in almost the blink of an eye, it spanned over ten kilometers to penetrate the domain under Li Yuan¡¯s control.


    ¡°Roar~¡± A Yellow Dragon roared as it met the arrow.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The formidable arrow pierced through the head of the Yellow Dragon. Despite the arrow¡¯s might dwindling under the suppression of layered earthy-yellow currents, it continued its frenzied attack towards Li Yuan.


    The five-kilometer domain was breached in the blink of an eye, several times faster than a Demigod¡¯s speed in movement.


    ¡°Has it reached him?¡±


    ¡°Could it injure Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°It should!¡±


    ¡°Sang Qiu¡¯s arrow is as mighty as that of a level 43 Demigod¡¯s attack,¡± Demigods Pu Yang and Sang Qiu observed this scene.


    In the void,


    ¡°An arrow?¡±


    ¡°Is it a divine artifact attack?¡± Li Yuan, sensing the might contained within the arrow, did not dare to take it lightly.


    Whoosh! In Li Yuan¡¯s hand appeared a pitch-black Long Spear, emanating a sharp aura.


    It was starkly different from the Semi Divine Artifact he¡¯d used before.


    It was a Divine Spear called ¡®Black Moon¡¯ that Li Yuan had acquired from the Seven Stars Treasury a year earlier for twenty Fangshen Crystals, a fairly ordinary Divine Long Spear but still infinitely more potent than any Semi Divine Artifact.


    Of course,


    Li Yuan had naturally renamed the Divine Long Spear to ¡®Black Chen Spear¡¯.


    It was his habit.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± With a thrust of his spear, surging Origin Power was channeled, instantly drawing upon the immense Mysteries of True Intent of both Metal and Wind.


    Boundary Cloud Spear technique¡¯s first move¡ªPiercing Cloud.


    The Divine Bow¡¯s arrow was fast, but Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear Burst Speed was even faster. The terrifying Spear Light met the arrow head-on in the void.


    The arrow exploded! Countless streams of water surged.


    The Spear Light dissolved, and the dreadful shockwave from its dispersal forced Li Yuan in the void to retreat two steps backward.


    However,


    The slight impact that passed through his domain and struck the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor hardly caused Li Yuan any harm.


    ¡°An attack with the might of a Middle Rank Demigod?¡± Li Yuan inwardly marveled, ¡°This arrow lacks mystery, yet its power is so formidable? Is it because of the Formation? Or the Divine Artifact?¡±


    This indicated that the force unleashed by the adversary was fundamentally very strong, surpassing their own.


    To this, Li Yuan was not surprised¡ªhe was ultimately only at level 38.9. Although he had employed the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, his base strength was only equivalent to that of an ordinary level 42 Demigod.


    ¡°These three Alien Race Demigods came well-prepared,¡± Li Yuan remained on high alert in his heart, ¡°If those initial rank Demigod powerhouses were to encounter them, they might very well be in peril.¡±

 Chapter 668 - 363 Enlighten! Mysteries of the Law

    Chapter 668: Chapter 363 Enlighten! Mysteries of the Law


    Only after colliding twice in combat, the strength that Li Yuan revealed had already far surpassed the imaginations of the three Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Domain, capable of resisting the impact of the Origin Power Array.


    Attack, able to clash with the arrows of Sang Qiu¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body¡¯s Divine Bow without falling short, and Li Yuan¡¯s body could easily withstand such impacts.


    This kind of strength, even for a Flying Heaven Warrior, clearly belonged to a powerful Demigod.


    ¡°He¡¯s too monstrous.¡±


    ¡°His Spear Technique cultivation, it should have reached the Semi-Divine Middle Rank,¡± Sang Qiu urgently transmitted, ¡°But his power is even stronger, feels to me like it could be comparable to a Demigod, his Origin Power likely has been cultivated to level 37, or even level 37.9.¡±


    ...


    Level 37.9?


    Demigod Pu Yang and Suhaer felt a chill in their hearts, what kind of monstrous genius was this? How could his Origin Power be cultivated so quickly?


    In theory, even if the higher-ups of the Seven Star Civilization sanctioned treasures to aid cultivation¡­


    It shouldn¡¯t have broken through so quickly in such a short time.


    ¡°Sang Qiu, keep attacking.¡± Demigod Pu Yang gritted his teeth, ¡°Suhaer, we must go all out, Li Yuan is too great a threat.¡±


    ¡°They say Fang Hai of the Seven Star Civilization is formidable, but how long has this Li Yuan been cultivating? His strength, I estimate it¡¯s almost catching up to Fang Hai before his breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°If we let him continue to grow, we can forget about ever returning to our homeland.¡± Demigod Pu Yang urgently transmitted.


    Suhaer didn¡¯t speak again, but his actions were clear enough, controlling his Dharma Body, he dashed across layers of dark clouds, charging towards Li Yuan in the center of the Origin Power Array.


    Boom!


    Demigod Pu Yang also mobilized the power of the Origin Power Array, gathering it into a Dharma Body and charged towards Li Yuan.


    The three Demigods finally erupted simultaneously.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Sang Qiu¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body stood in the distance, the Divine Bow bent, arrows like flowing water, with terrifying might, attacking Li Yuan time after time.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± Li Yuan, holding the Divine Spear, easily blocked those arrows, and even by using his superior movement technique, directly dodged several arrows.


    Attacking from a distance indeed keeps one safe.


    But the downside is that the farther the distance, the harder it is to control, and flexibility often decreases as well.


    ¡°Li Yuan, die!¡±


    Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body charged in as well, his Dharma Body towering, surrounded by dark clouds, with a momentum that pierced the heavens, he directly entered the range of Li Yuan¡¯s Domain, holding a giant Combat Saber, and slashed towards Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    A terrifying arc of saber light swept across the vast sky, where it passed, the surging earthy yellow currents were instantly split open¡­ this might, was much more terrifying than the arrows of Demigod Sang Qiu.


    Even though Li Yuan¡¯s Domain burst forth with all its might, it still couldn¡¯t completely suppress it.


    ¡°Go!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure flashed, the Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust forward, like a gust of wind, the spear tip directly grazed past the back of Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Combat Saber.


    This was not a head-on clash, but a lateral collision.


    With one collision, the Combat Saber was directly deflected, and then, Li Yuan¡¯s figure flickered, easily dodging this terrifyingly mighty saber.


    ¡°How did he block it?¡± Demigod Pu Yang was shocked.


    ¡°What a heavy saber.¡±


    ¡°This spear of mine, it can¡¯t completely unravel his Sword Technique? His Sword Technique cultivation is on the same level as mine, already reaching the Seventh Stage,¡± Li Yuan also immediately judged, ¡°This bald brute, has he stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth? He¡¯s indeed a lot more formidable than that archer.¡±


    In a head-to-head clash, Li Yuan felt that his Spear Technique might was inferior to his opponent.


    However, purely in terms of maneuvers¡¯ agility, Li Yuan surpassed his opponent.


    In such a clash at the Demigod level, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t seeking to win over his opponent at the moment, just to hold him off was enough.


    Demigods Liu Bing and General Mu had already responded.


    It would take General Mu over an hour to arrive, probably too late¡­ but Liu Bing, bursting forth at full speed, could arrive in just six minutes.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Demigod Pu Yang roared furiously, and suddenly another slash of saber light emerged from the void, furiously slashing towards Li Yuan.


    This saber strike was swift and ferocious.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Nine Yellow Dragons roared, followed by another bizarre and unpredictable thrust of the spear, directly grazing the blade of the saber from the side, seemingly perilous but cunningly shifting the direction of Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s saber once again.


    ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    ¡°Is his Spear Technique so agile?¡± Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s heart was anxious, the more he fought with Li Yuan, the more he understood about him, and the less courage he had in his heart.


    ¡°Clang! Boom! Boom!¡± The lightning-fast exchanges between the two, even with Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s fierce attacks and the assistance of Demigod Sang Qiu¡¯s arrows, their offensive might was definitely ferocious.


    Having the absolute upper hand, yet they simply couldn¡¯t take down Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was too mysterious, too unfathomable.


    ¡°The ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ truly deserving as the most suitable Spear Technique legacy for me, found among the many Spear Technique legacies left by Elder Qiu,¡± Li Yuan felt incredibly exhilarated.


    You see, Elder Qiu Bingzun left Li Yuan many legacy teachings, with hundreds of sets at the True God level, and even nearly a dozen at the Heavenly Divine level¡­ and ultimately Li Yuan chose the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear.¡±


    Why? Because this Spear Technique legacy was too suitable for Li Yuan.


    The first six techniques, perfectly merging the Mystery of Earth and Wind Laws, coincidentally aligned with the wind direction Li Yuan was studying.


    The first technique ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ is the foundation of the nine techniques, emphasizing agility and variability in absolute control.


    The Law of Earth represents absolute control, and the Law of Wind represents agility and variability.


    Together, combined with Li Yuan¡¯s Domain Star Technique, it was a perfect match.


    Over a year ago, when Li Yuan first learned this technique, he wasn¡¯t quite skilled at it, but after such a long period of meticulous research, he had already comprehended the first technique to its extremes.


    The nine techniques of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± representing the nine stages of the True Intent Law, each technique is versatile and even includes the use of movement techniques, though the focus differs slightly.


    The first technique ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ is about agility in control, not very adept in offensive aspects, but it is most suitable for defense and group combat, which is also why Li Yuan was not afraid of group attacks.


    ¡°Battle and slaughter indeed result in rapid progression,¡± Li Yuan remarked as he gained experience from clashing with two demigods.


    Especially the Demigod Pu Yang, whose Sword Technique was domineering and fierce, embodying an unstoppable momentum.


    ¡°My Spear Technique is even more mystical than his Sword Technique.¡±


    ¡°However, in terms of the Earth Vein, I am inferior to him; this individual has stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth, he must be the ¡®Pu Yang¡¯ mentioned in the intelligence,¡± Li Yuan sensed the mystery in the opponent¡¯s Sword Technique and felt stirred inside.


    In the past year, Li Yuan had only occasionally sparred with Liu Bing; most of his time was spent in solitary meditation!


    Cultivation required meditation and contemplation, as well as actual combat for tempering.


    Both were indispensable.


    ¡­


    ¡°Seize him!¡± Suhaer¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body finally approached, wrapped in numerous silver chains which penetrated into the scope of Heaven and Earth, overwhelming and aiming to completely bind Li Yuan.


    But Li Yuan, despite the God Locks rushing towards him, merely continued to engage with Demigod Pu Yang as if unaware of them.


    ¡°Humph, you don¡¯t dodge facing my Void God Lock?¡± Suhaer sneered, ¡°This Divine Artifact of mine, albeit faintly integrated with the Origin Power Array, has extraordinary might; once you are trapped, even a true Demigod would struggle to escape.¡±


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh¡ªsix silver God Locks swooped down, attempting to suppress Li Yuan.


    These God Locks were exceedingly agile.


    Yet the moment they were about to touch Li Yuan, he who stood firm in the void, suddenly split into nine, like a phantom, instantly dodging Suhaer¡¯s all-out strike.


    He also avoided the coordinated attack of Demigods Pu Yang and Sang Qiu.


    ¡°Your chains are too slow,¡± the nine Li Yuans spoke simultaneously.

    ¡°This easily, you dodged my Divine Artifact¡¯s attack?¡± Suhaer found it hard to believe, ¡°Even with Shadow Clones, it shouldn¡¯t be so easy!¡±


    Had Li Yuan struck with a weapon and then blocked the entwining chains, he could have accepted it.


    But to dodge everything with a mere flash?


    What kind of control was this?


    ¡°Not right!¡± Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body suddenly roared, eyes filled with terror, ¡°Something¡¯s wrong!¡±


    He had been clashing with Li Yuan and suddenly perceived a rapid change in the domain¡¯s might.


    Strands of earthy yellow airflow, their might surging.


    Within the domain, the previously unkillable nine Yellow Dragons were also growing stronger.


    This was bad!


    ¡°It¡¯s the Law of Earth! He has stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth, retreat!¡± Demigod Pu Yang urgently conveyed, ¡°Merging with the True Meaning of Wind, his strength must be nearing the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    Boom!


    Demigod Pu Yang was the first to sense the crisis and tried to make his Origin Power Dharma Body flee.


    The Origin Power Dharma Body was carrying Divine Artifacts.


    ¡°What? Nearing Semi-Divine Peak strength?¡± Suhaer was also startled; the disparity in strength among demigods was quite apparent.


    During the previous clash, the strength Li Yuan demonstrated was merely at level 42, mostly just stronger self-preservation abilities.


    How could he suddenly be nearing the Semi-Divine Peak?


    ¡°Pu Yang, I must thank you.¡±


    ¡°Without your Sword Technique to inspire me, I might have needed more time before stepping into the Threshold of the Law of Earth,¡± Li Yuan spoke in a deep voice.


    Before the crisis on Lantie Star erupted, Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the True Meaning of Earth had reached the Sixth Stage limit, ready to step into the Threshold of the Law of Earth at any moment.


    First, twenty days of constant Slaughter, which continuously stirred Li Yuan¡¯s heart as if he was undergoing repeated purifications, becoming ever more pure.


    The key, however, was today, starting with observing the Origin Power Array and finally clashing with Pu Yang, the Earth System Demigod.


    At last, he made this step.


    Origin Power breakthrough, cultivation of Star Techniques required a lot of time, not achievable overnight¡­ but the breakthrough in Law Comprehension was accomplished in one go.


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave no one behind.¡± The nine Li Yuans simultaneously moved, lightning-fast as they closed in on Suhaer¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body.


    ¡°Boom rumble~~¡± The might of ¡®Heaven and Earth River,¡¯ which covered a ten-kilometer range, fully erupted with the domain enhancing the nine Yellow Dragons, their might roaring to new heights, each of them ascending to the level of a Demigod.


    Like nine level 40 Demigods striking, they howled as they attacked Suhaer.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± Nine dazzling Spear Lights also simultaneously blossomed, engulfing Suhaer from all directions, containing Li Yuan¡¯s genuine Spear Technique attack.


    As the Spear Light swept across, its formidable might was simply unimaginable, tearing open the void like refined stars, immediately shredding it.


    Boundary Cloud Spear, Second Form¡ªSplitting Star!


    Li Yuan had continually studied the second form of Boundary Cloud Spear but had yet to master it; however, at the moment he entered the Threshold of the Law of Earth, filled with a murderous intent, he naturally executed it.


    While the first form ¡®Piercing Cloud¡¯ was oriented towards agile Defense, the second form ¡®Splitting Star¡¯ was sheer aggressive attack, aiming for two characters: ¡®fierce ferocity.¡¯


    ¡°This spear?¡± Demigod Pu Yang was terrified.


    He felt the terrifying might contained in this spear; he wanted to save Suhaer¡¯s Dharma Body, but under the suppression of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, he was simply too slow.


    ¡°This is bad,¡± Demigod Sang Qiu was even more anxious, fully manipulating the Origin Power Dharma Body, shooting out a dazzling arrow hoping to restrain Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The arrow, traveling through the earth-colored airflow, lost its might sharply, eventually striking those Spear Lights, but only managed to shatter three; it hardly made any difference.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Six Spear Lights, nine Yellow Dragons howled, fifteen strikes simultaneously bombarding Suhaer¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body, which disintegrated layer by layer, directly annihilated in an instant.


    In a single confrontation.


    A Demigod¡¯s Dharma Body, refined by Divine Artifacts and Origin Power Array, was directly obliterated.


    This sight deeply shocked the three demigods.

 Chapter 669 - 364 Demigod Falls

    Chapter 669: Chapter 364 Demigod Falls


    You should know, the three demigods had just broken through.


    As 40th rank demigods, their Battle Star Techniques hadn¡¯t yet reached the Fourth Rank Limit; therefore, the Dharma Bodies they formed through the Origin Power Array were stronger than their own.


    Otherwise, even with the Divine Bow, demigod Sang Qiu wouldn¡¯t have been able to burst forth with the power of the 43rd rank.


    He relied on the Origin Power Array.


    However, compared to their true selves, the Dharma Bodies had one fatal weakness: they didn¡¯t have enough vitality.


    Even so, the might of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique made the three demigods¡¯ courage falter.


    ...


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat!¡± demigod Sang Qiu urgently transmitted, ¡°His attack is at least at the 44th rank standard, and it may even be 45th rank!!¡±


    From the 42nd rank to the 44th rank, all are considered Semi-Divine Middle Rank, but the difference in strength was very clear.


    ¡°We can¡¯t kill Li Yuan now.¡±


    ¡°We can retreat, but we must take the Divine Artifacts with us; they are our foundation.¡± Suhaer¡¯s true self manipulated the Divine Artifact Chains.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    After his Dharma Body dispersed, a silver God Lock shot through like a streak of silver light, still trying to flee beyond the boundary of the Heaven and Earth River Domain.


    ¡°Come here, you.¡± Li Yuan stretched out one hand, instantly drawing upon the powerful Power of Heaven and Earth, gathering the Domain to form a terrifying giant palm that grasped one end of the silver chain from the void.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Two Yellow Dragons roared angrily, striking the silver chains almost simultaneously, completely dispersing the last trace of demigod Origin Power within them¡­ The Divine Artifact completely lost the ability to resist.


    ¡°Take.¡±


    Li Yuan gave a fierce tug, a ray of light emerged behind him, and he had already put away the Divine Artifact Chains.


    It was received within the Cave Heaven Treasure ¡®Ancient Divine Palace¡¯, where he could later slowly break through its internal Spiritual Imprint until it was fully refined.


    ¡°This suppression was so quick?¡± Demigod Pu Yang, standing aside, was shocked, hastily attempting to flee.


    He had already escaped a distance and looked to be about to break free from the Domain range.


    ¡°Kill.¡± Li Yuan, after suppressing the Divine Artifact, howled and charged toward demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body.


    Nine Phantom Bodies alternated, like nine specters, charging over like lightning.


    Within the Domain, Li Yuan¡¯s strength and speed were all comprehensively boosted, while the enemy was completely suppressed.


    In an instant, Li Yuan had caught up.


    ¡°His Spear Technique has broken through, but killing me won¡¯t be easy,¡± demigod Pu Yang still held confidence.


    In the close combat with Li Yuan just now, he had an absolute advantage. It was only Li Yuan¡¯s flexible Spear Technique and strong defense that made his Sword Technique repeatedly fall short.


    This time, demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body once again brandished the Combat Saber, attempting to block Li Yuan.


    ¡°Whirr, whirr, whirr~¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique had completely changed, nine Li Yuans interweaved, a flurry of Spear Light confused demigod Pu Yang, making him frantic and disoriented.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Shadow Clones each had thirty percent of his combat power, just without the enhancement of Divine Artifacts.


    The key was the might of the Spear Technique, ferocious and wild.


    There was an essential difference from the previous Spear Technique.


    The might from the first to the second form of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± underwent qualitative change.


    ¡°Boom~ Boom~ Boom~¡± In a lightning-like dozen exchanges, demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body was forced back, his Combat Saber completely thrown out of his grasp.


    ¡°Annihilate.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s killing intent soared to the skies, nine Spear Lights converged with nine Yellow Dragons, like a roaring, surging river, an overwhelming assault, bombarding demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body.


    In the blink of an eye.


    He was blasted to pieces.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So dominant?¡± Suhaer and Sang Qiu Demigod were all shocked. Li Yuan¡¯s burst of strength was terrifyingly overwhelming.


    Even with a breakthrough, he shouldn¡¯t be this strong.


    What they didn¡¯t know was that Li Yuan, in his initial engagement with them, even with a burst of power couldn¡¯t win, so he had hidden some of his strength, only displaying the All Things Divine Body and the two great Star Techniques of Heaven and Earth River.


    Even then, they had considered him not inferior to Fang Hai of bygone years.


    Had he used ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± at that time, Li Yuan¡¯s strength would have been even more terrifying, and he could have dealt with their encirclement more comfortably.


    Suddenly grasping a deeper level of the Law of Earth.


    Li Yuan not only directly comprehended the second form of ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± the Heaven and Earth River Domain, but the might of the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor Divine Artifact also grew immensely¡­ giving Li Yuan absolute confidence in winning against them.


    Naturally, he erupted all at once!


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Li Yuan controlled the Domain, directly suppressing that tossed away Divine Artifact Combat Saber, taking it into the Cave Heaven Treasure.


    ¡°Die, all of you.¡±


    Li Yuan put away the Combat Saber, his speed unabated, directly pouncing toward the edge of the Origin Power Array, where he sensed one of the true bodies of the demigods ¨C demigod Pu Yang.


    Among the three Alien Race demigods, demigod Pu Yang was the strongest, and naturally, Li Yuan most wanted to eliminate him.


    ¡°We can¡¯t hold back anymore.¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°His strength is probably not inferior to the 45th rank, he can be considered at the Semi-Divine Peak.¡± Suhaer urgently transmitted, ¡°Run.¡±


    Perhaps Li Yuan wasn¡¯t as strong as a 45th rank in terms of attack, but his Domain and Shadow Clone techniques made his level of threat no less than a Semi-Divine Peak Expert.


    ¡°Run!¡± With one thought in his mind, Sang Qiu Demigod packed up the Divine Bow, and his Dharma Body directly dispersed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The three Alien Race demigods, in a state of panic, chose to rush out from three separate Formation Bases of the Origin Power Array¡­


    ¡°Seal.¡± Demigod Pu Yang had a thought, and the Origin Power Array, covering dozens of kilometers with billowing black clouds, furiously struck toward Li Yuan, trying to block his path.


    In a bid for survival.


    The three demigods didn¡¯t dare to take back the Origin Power Array; three Divine Artifacts and seventy-two Semi Divine Artifacts were left behind.


    As long as they could delay Li Yuan a little longer, each could escape hundreds of kilometers, hide their presence, and potentially escape with their lives.

 Chapter 670 - 364 Demigod Fall_2

    Chapter 670: Chapter 364 Demigod Fall_2


    ¡°An unattended Origin Power Array, and you think it can stop my movements?¡±


    ¡°You three are so naive.¡± Sensing the presence of three Semi-Divine beings, Li Yuan charged with his Domain to the edge of the Origin Power Array and bellowed, ¡°Open for me!!¡±


    Spear Light blossomed, accompanied by the convergence of nine dragons, all striking towards one direction of the array.


    Boom~


    The incredibly resilient Origin Power Array was instantly torn apart by Li Yuan, the heavens and earth changed colors, and the mightily imposing Li Yuan directly rushed towards the still not far-escaped Semi-Divine Pu Yang.


    ¡°What?¡± Pu Yang¡¯s pupils shrank, he wanted to flee desperately, but his foundation and realm were inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s, and he hadn¡¯t cultivated the Escaping Method Star Technique¡­ How could he possibly escape from Li Yuan?


    ...


    In a blink, Li Yuan¡¯s speed soared to ten kilometers per second!


    Considering just the flight speed, Li Yuan was close to many Semi-Divine Peak Experts, far surpassing Semi-Divine Pu Yang.


    In just seven or eight seconds, Li Yuan caught up to him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, spare my life, I am willing to surrender,¡± transmitted Pu Yang urgently, while simultaneously pulling out a Semi-Divine Combat Saber, attempting one final resistance.


    ¡°Perish.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were like torches, an invisible wave of soul energy, ferocious like a torrent, slammed towards Pu Yang.


    Bang~!


    It was a terrifying collision.


    Soul Secret Technique ¡°Mind Soul¡±!


    It was impossible to use the Soul Secret Technique on the three Semi-Divine beings from a distance when dealing with the Origin Power Dharma Body, but now that he was close, it was feasible.


    Pu Yang and the other three had only recently broken through after their bodies had transformed and, though their souls had reached Semi-Divine level through a treasure bestowed by the Eastern Demon Deity, their willpower had not yet broken through.


    In short, regarding soul defense, they were almost the weakest among the Semi-Divines.


    And Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack was one of the very top amongst the Semi-Divines, under its overwhelming assault, it left Pu Yang¡¯s mind reeling, his consciousness wavering.


    ¡°Wake up.¡±


    ¡°Wake up.¡± Pu Yang struggled, his gaze almost instantly regaining clarity.


    He was just about to use his Sword Technique to defend when¡ª


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s nine avatars attacked simultaneously, like Divine Dragons tearing through the Vast Sky, causing the void itself to tremble with their might, directly quenching Pu Yang¡¯s last resistance, sending him flying.


    Blood sprayed.


    The Semi-Divine Combat Saber he had just pulled out was also completely blasted away.


    ¡°Does the original body have a protective Divine Artifact?¡± Li Yuan felt the strong life force from the opponent, capable of withstanding the attack.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Another two rounds of ferocious attacks, and Pu Yang¡¯s body was utterly annihilated, devoid of any capacity to resist.


    Pu Yang, dead!


    Without the enhancing Origin Power Array, the three alien Semi-Divines were just newly advanced Semi-Divines¡­ Even though Pu Yang, having stepped into the Threshold of the Law, had a combat force roughly equivalent to level 41, it was merely trivial in front of Li Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan waved his hand to collect the treasure left by Pu Yang and then transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Suhaer, who had fled nearly a hundred kilometers away.


    At the same time¡ª


    ¡°Little Ice! One of the Alien Race Semi-Divines has fled towards your approach direction, her current coordinates are¡­ her flying speed is¡­ her flight path is¡­¡± Li Yuan transmitted to Liu Bing via soul.


    The three Semi-Divines were all fleeing for their lives in different directions, even if Li Yuan was powerful, he couldn¡¯t catch them all.


    However¡ª


    Liu Bing was on her way, and knowing the exact location and speed, there was still a chance she could intercept.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan was much faster than Suhaer.


    Even though Suhaer burrowed into the earth, the Power of Heaven and Earth stirred by his full-speed flight wouldn¡¯t dissipate quickly, naturally unable to evade Li Yuan.


    Boom~! After a more than three hundred kilometers underground chase, Li Yuan finally caught up with Suhaer.


    ¡°He¡¯s caught up?¡± Suhaer¡¯s heart was filled with despair, ¡°This Li Yuan, clearly only in the Flying Heaven Realm, why is his strength so terrifying? Even Pu Yang fell in a single confrontation, and I am weaker¡­ there is no hope at all.¡±


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have come.¡±


    ¡°Kill Li Yuan? This Li Yuan is clearly bait, luring us into the trap,¡± Suhaer sighed internally.


    But he understood, even knowing it was bait, he had to bite.


    After all, if the Myriad Demons Civilization were to lose their three semi-divine beings, it wouldn¡¯t hurt them much, but if they could kill Li Yuan, that would be a great gain.


    Boom~


    The surging earthy yellow airflow, like a river, instantly submerged Suhaer.


    The nine Yellow Dragons roared as they swiftly charged at Suhaer, each possessing terrifying might, with strengths close to that of Suhaer himself¡­ It could be said that Li Yuan, with just his domain skills, could directly kill Suhaer.


    ¡°Only in Flying Heaven, yet his power is so terrifying,¡± Suhaer sighed internally, no longer struggling, as he looked towards Li Yuan who approached through layers of flowing light, ¡°This Li Yuan, in the future might be even more terrifying than Dongfang Ji, he is so young¡­ ascending to god is easy for him.¡±


    ¡°East Demon, this fool.¡±


    ¡°I am going to die, it¡¯s just sad for my kinsfolk back home,¡± Suhaer¡¯s eyes dimmed.


    Forced to come to the Seven Star Civilization, always following orders, largely because his loved ones back home were held hostage.


    In his mind, he believed he could fully cultivate to the Semi-Divine Peak in the Seven Stars Plane and even if he couldn¡¯t ascend to god, there was hope to leave the Seven Stars Plane¡­ to enter the space rifts among planes.


    Then, there was also hope for him to return home.


    Unfortunately, now all was lost.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°He didn¡¯t attack me?¡± Suhaer suddenly felt the turbulent airflow around him, merely binding him, while the Yellow Dragons surrounded him without attacking.


    Li Yuan stood amidst the Heaven and Earth River, his aura mighty.


    ¡°Alien, I offer you a chance at life,¡± Li Yuan looked down at Suhaer.


    ¡°A chance at life?¡± Suhaer was shocked, then sneered, ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t bother deceiving me, if you want to kill me, kill me, since I¡¯ve come to the Seven Stars Plane, I am not afraid of death.¡±


    ¡°Not afraid to die?¡± Li Yuan laughed, ¡°Did you really come willingly to the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Of course,¡± Suhaer said.


    ¡°I have a technique, I can impose a restriction in your soul, if you betray me, I can easily kill you,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly, ¡°But if you obey my commands, I naturally won¡¯t kill you.¡±


    ¡°Soul Restriction?¡± Suhaer immediately sneered, ¡°You mean Soul Control, right? Do you really think I¡¯m an idiot, unaware of these dark methods?¡±


    ¡°Your Soul Realm is probably close to the Void God Realm, maybe you even practiced some legendary Soul Control techniques, trying to deceive me?¡± Suhaer said grimly, ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t delude yourself.¡±


    Boom!


    Suhaer¡¯s life breath suddenly surged, like a flame that burst forth abruptly.


    ¡°Self-detonation?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed slightly and he swiftly retreated backwards.


    Boom~


    Suhaer¡¯s body exploded thunderously, and the mighty Origin Power contained within the Sea of Origin Power wildly blasted in all directions¡­ but under the suppression of Li Yuan¡¯s domain, the impact radius wasn¡¯t large, and it didn¡¯t cause any harm to Li Yuan.


    ¡°These aliens, they are fiercely unyielding,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°To become a Heavenly Demon, one needs high insight, enough to guess my methods.¡±


    ¡°I have a technique, I can impose a restriction in your soul, if you betray me, I can easily kill you,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly, ¡°But if you obey my commands, I naturally won¡¯t kill you.¡±

    Chapter 671: Chapter 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization


    ¡°Captured?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Good! Little Ice, well done. Bring them and immediately head to Sharp Mountain Bay City. I¡¯ll be waiting for you here.¡±


    Originally, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t held much hope for Liu Bing capturing that fleeing demi-god.


    After all, the earth is vast, and within a region of thousands of kilometers, even with Liu Bing¡¯s incredible speed and the limited range of Divine Sense, the odds of running into them were no more than thirty percent.


    Unexpectedly, the mere two or three percent chance had resulted in Liu Bing¡¯s success.


    ¡°Little Ice, you truly are my lucky general,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    ...


    ¡°Little Ice is about 2,000 kilometers away from me,¡± Li Yuan roughly confirmed the direction, and the connection between their souls allowed him to easily pinpoint each other¡¯s location.


    Boom!


    Transforming into a streak of light, Li Yuan swiftly returned to Sharp Mountain Bay City, hundreds of kilometers away.


    Before he arrived, Li Yuan saw from afar the city still engulfed by the vast, mighty dark clouds, looking like ruins.


    The entire city lay mostly flattened, the surrounding areas also affected, with devastating casualties.


    This scene made Li Yuan sigh inwardly.


    Sharp Mountain Bay City was of the same level as Jiang City, yet in a blink of an eye, it had met such a fate.


    Although he had breached the Origin Power Array, he hadn¡¯t removed the Formation Base. Therefore, the enormous Origin Power Array was still operational, just inconspicuous without a demi-god overseeing it, and no longer continuously erupting.


    ¡°Logically, such an Origin Power Array is extremely valuable,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But so much time has passed, and the Alien Race hasn¡¯t come to collect the Formation Base Divine Artifact. Could it be that, on Lantie Star, there are only these three from the Alien Race?¡±


    Li Yuan had rushed to Sharp Mountain Bay City primarily to prevent this set of Origin Power Array from being taken away by any ¡®Alien Race Semi-Divine¡¯ that might exist.


    With this Formation, each of the three Initial Rank demi-gods could unleash the power of a mid-stage demi-god, and had even trapped Li Yuan before his breakthrough. One could imagine the value of this Origin Power Array.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stood in the void, overlooking the area below, releasing his presence without restraint.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Over a dozen streaks of light flew towards him, all Flying Heaven Warriors who had received the message during the past few minutes and rushed over.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Greetings, Star Master.¡± The dozen or so Flying Heaven Warriors greeted him respectfully, each one deeply shocked.


    Although they did not know the specifics of the battle, the virtual network¡¯s ¡®global system¡¯ had many alerts indicating a Demi-God battle, with an Alien Race demi-god appearing.


    By the time they arrived and just saw the dark clouds rolling within the huge Origin Power Array, they couldn¡¯t help but feel their hearts pound.


    Then, they saw Li Yuan appear, but there were no Alien Race demi-gods in sight.


    Without a doubt, Li Yuan must have won.


    ¡°It¡¯s safe now,¡± Li Yuan declared, sweeping his gaze across them, then with a thought¡­


    Whoosh¡ªIn the palm of his hand emerged a dazzling light, followed by an intangible wave sweeping across, revealing countless figures suddenly appearing on the wasteland several kilometers away.


    Millions of them.


    There were old people and children, many martial artists, and some barely clothed¡­ of course, there were also the nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors that Li Yuan had earlier taken in.


    The millions of ordinary people were somewhat dazed, to them, everything had just happened minutes ago.


    It was definitely a dreamlike experience.


    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±


    ¡°Who are they?¡± The rescue Flying Heaven Warriors were astonished at this divine skill.


    A wave of a hand, and millions of people appeared out of nowhere?


    ¡°When I was engaging with the three Alien Race demi-gods, I could only barely save these people,¡± Li Yuan said somberly. ¡°Many more couldn¡¯t be saved¡­ They are now homeless. You all need to take care of the aftermath.¡±


    Three Alien Race demi-gods?


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was taken aback, but still responded respectfully, ¡°Yes, we follow the Star Master¡¯s command.¡±


    There¡¯s a difference between a star master and a Star Master.


    Undoubtedly, in their hearts, although Li Yuan was in the Flying Heaven Realm, he was already no different from a true demigod.


    Not long after.


    Swoosh!


    A massive cyan streak of light crossed the sky, vast and imposing.


    Amidst the awe-filled gazes of the warriors, the light dissipated, revealing Liu Bing¡¯s beautiful body, huge and glistening, with abdominal claws making it resemble the mythical Azure Dragon, albeit without the dragon horns and whiskers.


    ¡°Heaven Snake form,¡± Li Yuan noted to himself, understanding this was Little Ice¡¯s disguise, resembling an ordinary Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, and if it were truly a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, there would be some changes in the scales and head.


    ¡°Greetings, Divine Snake.¡±


    ¡°Divine Snake.¡± The more than thirty Flying Heaven Warriors all bowed respectfully, and the millions below held their breath as they watched.


    After days of great battles, the whole Lantie Star, even ordinary people, had come to know the names of Li Yuan and the Divine Snake.


    ¡°Big brother.¡±


    ¡°The Alien Race demi-god is here,¡± Liu Bing communicated, and with a flash of light before her, a figure materialized: beautiful, dressed in white, with a stature over two meters, two curved horns on her forehead, and exuding an immensely powerful aura.


    However, at this moment, she looked quite disheveled, her body faintly bound by a cyan rope.


    ¡°A demi-god?¡±


    ¡°An Alien Race demi-god?¡± The present Flying Heaven Warriors were stunned, their view of Liu Bing entirely altered.


    The Divine Snake, had captured an Alien Race demi-god?


    ¡°Do you go by Sang Qiu?¡± Li Yuan addressed the Alien Race demi-god softly, ¡°I¡¯m sure you understand, don¡¯t resist me.¡±


    On the way here, Liu Bing had shared the preliminary information she had gathered with Li Yuan.


    ¡°Little Ice, you stay here and guard this large array,¡± Li Yuan commanded through their connection.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan leaped forward, grabbing hold of the Sang Qiu Demigod, and soon the two rushed towards the distant dark clouds, quickly vanishing from everyone¡¯s sight.

 Chapter 672 - 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_2

    Chapter 672: Chapter 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_2


    ¡°Is Li Yuan, the Star Master, alright?¡±


    ¡°Did he enter the Origin Power Array alone with a Demigod?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that dangerous?¡± Many Flying Heaven Warriors grew anxious, even casting worried glances at Liu Bing.


    In their view, this was a Demigod, who, even though captured, should be handled with care.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    ¡°Three Alien Race Demigods, the other two stronger ones were slain by the master, leaving only the weakest one.¡± Liu Bing glanced at them, ¡°Go about your business.¡±


    ...


    This was a clear suggestion from Qiu Bingzun; publicly, Liu Bing was a ¡®regular Heaven Snake¡¯ and also Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast, not tied by a blood pact.


    This way, Liu Bing¡¯s identity could be better disguised.


    Over time, with the passage of time, Liu Bing also desired contact with the outside world and yearned for an identity.


    ¡°What? Star Master Li Yuan has slain two Demigods?¡±


    ¡°Being a Flying Heaven and killing a Demigod?¡± The shock in the hearts of these Flying Heaven Warriors grew: ¡°Another Fang Hai Demigod? How long has it been?¡±


    In their minds, it had only been two years since Li Yuan swept through the Second Level Star Realm, and now he could slay a Demigod?


    Such astonishment was, of course, imaginable.


    ¡°Such a powerful Divine Snake, is it really Star Master Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast?¡± Many Flying Heaven Warriors thought so.


    Subconsciously.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors began to report up the information they had¡­ Liu Bing didn¡¯t care in the slightest.


    After this battle, the Myriad Demons Civilization would definitely know Li Yuan¡¯s strength, so it didn¡¯t matter if the information leaked out or not.


    ¡­ S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Inside the Origin Power Array, dark clouds obscured everything.


    ¡°Sang Qiu Demigod?¡± Li Yuan looked at the completely bound Sang Qiu Demigod and smiled, ¡°I pursued your companions to kill them, and it seemed they were unwilling to submit, why are you willing?¡±


    When chasing the Pu Yang Demigod, the opponent verbally agreed to surrender, but Li Yuan was in a hurry to kill more Demigods, naturally without time for entanglement and directly slew him.


    ¡°They all have many loved ones in their hometowns, naturally they dare not surrender easily, but I have no such burdens, my parents died long ago, leaving only some distant relatives,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said, ¡°Secondly, we have sworn oaths under the Law, we must obey orders.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    Only some distant relatives?


    ¡°Cultivating is not easy, I hope to live, to continue living.¡± Sang Qiu Demigod looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Lord Li Yuan, I actually received a message from Suhaer, saying that you might have cultivated a Soul Control technique, but I don¡¯t care.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control, you don¡¯t care?¡± A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    To become a Demigod, most are of strong will, not easily bowing to become servants.


    Many powerhouses would rather die than submit.


    Without such strong spirits, it is very difficult to grow.


    ¡°I was not highly regarded in the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod spoke somberly, ¡°Had I been valued, I wouldn¡¯t have been sent on this suicide mission.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°If it were to serve as a servant to any other ordinary Demigod, I naturally would not be willing.¡± Sang Qiu Demigod stared at Li Yuan, his eyes shimmering, ¡°But you are different.¡±


    ¡°You have reached the peak strength of a Demigod in less than thirty years, subduing even such a powerful Flying Serpent under you, you might become a True God of legend in the future¡­ To become your servant, perhaps I too can Ascend to God.¡±


    ¡°In the future, I also want to return to the Myriad Demons Civilization and take my revenge,¡± the hatred in Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s eyes flickered.


    Li Yuan understood.


    Everyone is different, even in the Divine Realm, many Pseudo-Gods and True Gods willingly follow the Heavenly Divine¡­ A casual treasure from a Heavenly Divine might be a great opportunity for an ordinary deity.


    It seemed, Sang Qiu Demigod had unfinished ambitions and did not want to die just like this.


    ¡°Very well.¡±


    ¡°I have just cultivated the Soul Secret Technique; if you become the first servant under my command, I will naturally do my best to help you in the future,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°After all, if you Ascend to God and return to the Myriad Demons Civilization in the future, you will be of the greatest value to me.¡±


    Li Yuan said this.


    All of Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s treasures had been taken by Liu Bing, and by rights he should not be able to send messages back to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ but caution is always prudent, Li Yuan also worried that the other side was trying to extract information in the end.


    ¡°Stop resisting.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t play tricks, you should understand, I can extinguish you with a flip of my palm.¡± Li Yuan still maintained his Body Refining Star Technique, and with a thought, he had already used the Soul Secret Technique ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    After the Soul Metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine Level, Li Yuan occasionally pondered over this secret technique. Although he had not cultivated it to the limit of the Semi-Divine chapter, it was much more powerful than back in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Key, Li Yuan¡¯s own Soul Realm was far beyond that of the past.


    ¡°Sss~¡±


    Invisible Soul Power quickly penetrated into Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s sea of consciousness, gradually deploying the Soul Secret Technique, attempting to take complete control of him.


    ¡°Controlling a Demigod is much more troublesome than controlling a Flying Heaven.¡±


    ¡°It seems it¡¯s going to take some time,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, immersing fully in the enslavement process.


    ¡­


    In the Myriad Demons Civilization, on the Wan Mo Star.


    In the grand and vast Myriad Demons Hall, it was now silent as a graveyard, with all Demigods and Flying Heavens having left.


    In the hall, the previously floating three giant light screen projections had completely stilled.


    On the screen was the final moment of the three Demigods.


    ¡°East Demon,¡± the Bei Yue Deity¡¯s phantom sighed lightly, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault this time; blame Li Yuan for being too strong.¡±


    The Wan Mo Deity stood in the void, silent.


    Although the two had not personally witnessed the clash between the three Demigods and Li Yuan, they had seen many scenes and a vast amount of text messages¡­ They were very clear about Li Yuan¡¯s strength.

    Chapter 673: Chapter 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_3


    For a long time.


    ¡°How could Li Yuan¡¯s strength be so formidable?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes were chilly, his fists clenched tightly, ¡°In just two years, he jumped from Prime Warrior to possessing Level 45 strength?¡±


    ¡°According to the latest intelligence transmitted by Pu Yang and the others, Li Yuan¡¯s attack hasn¡¯t reached Level 45, probably around Level 44,¡± said Bei Yue Deity. ¡°Otherwise, he could have killed Pu Yang with a single move when he chased him down last time.¡±


    ¡°But his Domain is extremely strong, many Semi-Divine Peak Experts probably can¡¯t match him, and his physical defense is also exceptionally powerful.¡±


    ¡°Overall,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°his comprehension of the Law should have reached the Semi-Divine Peak level, and his ability to preserve his life is extremely strong.¡±


    ¡°Much stronger than Fang Hai was back in the day.¡±


    ...


    East Demon Deity fell into complete silence.


    Flying Heaven Realm, reaching such a level in just a few years? What kind of monster is this?


    Across the entire Mortal Domain, such a cultivator has never been born.


    ¡°His strength being so formidable, he must possess two Nine Layer Star Techniques, the Body Refining Star Technique and the Domain Star Technique,¡± analyzed Bei Yue Deity. ¡°His foundational strength is at least Level 37.9, or even Level 38.9.¡±


    ¡°Level 38.9? Eight Star Veins?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s pupils constricted.


    In the entire history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, even that singular True God didn¡¯t awaken the Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say, it¡¯s only a possibility,¡± said Bei Yue Deity. ¡°After all, without such a strong foundation, it would mean his Divine Artifacts are immensely powerful¡­ otherwise, it can¡¯t be explained.¡±


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    East Demon Deity nodded slightly.


    All strength has its reasons.


    So-called strength is merely determined by a few factors: Law comprehension, weapons, Star Techniques, and Origin Power Cultivation.


    ¡°All this, we can only guess.¡±


    ¡°According to the last message from Suhaer,¡± East Demon Deity said gravely, ¡°Sang Qiu was captured, likely to be enslaved¡­ This time, it¡¯s a complete failure.¡±


    His heart was bleeding.


    He didn¡¯t care about the Flying Heaven Warriors who died in the planned invasion, nor did he care about the three Demigods killed¡­ The lost Origin Power Array was precious, but he could still bear that loss.


    The most critical factor was Li Yuan.


    ¡°If the Flying Heaven Realm is already this formidable, once he breaks through to become a Semi-Divine, wouldn¡¯t he become a second Dongfang Ji? No! Perhaps even stronger than Dongfang Ji.¡± East Demon Deity thought of this, and felt a headache coming on.


    ¡°Damn,¡± East Demon Deity found himself momentarily at a loss for ways to kill Li Yuan.


    There was no hope.


    ¡°East Demon, I have an idea, though I¡¯m not sure if I should say it,¡± Bei Yue Deity suddenly said.


    ¡°Speak,¡± East Demon Deity looked towards him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s negotiate,¡± Bei Yue Deity sighed. ¡°There¡¯s no hope left, our number of Flying Heaven Warriors and Demigods is ten, even dozens of times that of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but you know very well, a cultivator¡¯s mighty power resides within one body.¡±


    ¡°In the past, there was only Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°Now Fang Hai and Li Yuan have progressively grown, along with that Flying Serpent, our hope is diminishing.¡± Bei Yue Deity shook his head. ¡°Right now, while they are not yet fully powerful, there is still a possibility to negotiate, if this continues¡­ once one of them becomes a True God, that would truly be troublesome.¡±


    Obviously.


    After witnessing the strength of Li Yuan and Liu Bing, Bei Yue Deity no longer felt any hope of victory.


    ¡°Negotiate?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered.


    Had it been any Demigod under his command who suggested this, he might have already executed them.


    But this was Bei Yue Deity¡¯s suggestion, which he could not help but consider carefully.


    ¡°Even if I am willing to negotiate.¡±


    ¡°Do you think the Seven Star Civilization would agree?¡± East Demon Deity slowly said. ¡°Even if they agree, what sort of conditions do you think they will impose?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and talk,¡± Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°If the negotiation doesn¡¯t succeed, we can always resume waging war.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± East Demon Deity nodded.


    Soon after, the phantom of Bei Yue Deity¡¯s Divine Sense dissipated, leaving East Demon Deity alone in the grand temple.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    East Demon Deity suddenly burst out in a low roar, his arm swinging fiercely, a terrifying Divine Power surged, slamming into the ground and causing the grand Myriad Demons Hall to tremble slightly.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji!¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes were cold as he gritted the words out between clenched teeth. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°You really made it.¡±


    ¡°For over a hundred years, you truly led a frail civilization to rise completely,¡± East Demon Deity said through gritted teeth.


    Back then, if it hadn¡¯t been for the rise of Dongfang Ji, his army of Demigods would have submerged the entire Seven Star Civilization and completely conquered it long ago.


    There wouldn¡¯t have been a need to wait until today.


    The rise of Fang Hai made him anxious, and today¡¯s battle, seeing Li Yuan¡¯s displayed strength, snuffed out the last bit of hope in his heart¡­ that¡¯s why he agreed to Bei Yue Deity¡¯s proposal to negotiate.


    ¡­


    If East Demon Deity was furious.


    Then, as time passed, when the results of the great battle in Sharp Mountain Bay City spread, the entire high echelon of the Seven Star Civilization was shaken with joy.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan, killed two Demigods?¡±


    ¡°Heavens!¡±


    ¡°The Divine Snake also captured a Demigod.¡± The news quickly logged into Lantie Star¡¯s virtual network, and messages spread to other planets.


    And the Demigods and Flying Heavens of the Seven Star Civilization, who had been following this battle closely, were also excited and shocked.


    They knew Li Yuan was strong, but no one imagined he would be this powerful.


    It had been only two years since Li Yuan swept through the Second Level Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Blue Star, Jiang City, Starfire East lake Villa Bay community.


    ¡°Ahua!¡±


    ¡°Ahua! Quickly look at the news, our big brother killed a Demigod! He killed a Demigod on Lantie Star.¡± A cry of astonishment echoed throughout the villa.


    Boom!


    A figure flashed briefly, and the burly figure had rushed to the second floor, arriving next to his wife, watching the news report projected on the screen in front of her.

 Chapter 674 - 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_4

    Chapter 674: Chapter 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_4


    ¡°Star Realm special news, Lantie Star great victory! Alliance Star Master ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, in four hours, at Sharp Mountain Bay City on Lantie Star¡­ eventually slayed two beings beyond the Flying Heaven Alien Race, this battle, will become the turning point in the warfare of Lantie Star¡­¡± the host was excitedly saying.


    Such victory news, within a few hours, had already rapidly climbed to the front pages of various planets, igniting countless discussions.


    Beyond Flying Heaven, that would be a Demigod!!


    Even the battle of Fang Hai in the ¡®Wanhan Star Realm¡¯ was not publicized and broadcast like this¡­ Many battles in the Star Realm did not have such a big impact.


    ¡°Big brother, is it really big brother?¡± Li Muhua held his breath, excitement in his eyes.


    Over the years, he had already graduated from Kunlun Martial University and was now a 24th level Prime Warrior.


    ...


    ¡°Big brother is too powerful, even the legendary Demigods have fallen by big brother¡¯s hand.¡± The woman beside him said excitedly, then shook her head with a sigh, ¡°However, I have not yet met big brother.¡±


    ¡°No rush.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°When big brother returns to Blue Star, there will be a chance.¡± Li Muhua smiled, the woman beside him was his newlywed wife, also a classmate who graduated from Kunlun Martial University.


    She had become a Foundation Establishing Warrior not long ago.


    ¡°Ah Hua.¡±


    ¡°You never told me before, you waited until we got married to tell me the truth.¡± The woman could not help saying, ¡°Big brother is so strong¡­ No wonder during university, you had so many cultivation resources.¡±


    In university, Li Muhua¡¯s relevant family status was not qualified for ordinary institutions to know.


    But the woman had only thought that Li Muhua¡¯s family had a Top Level Origin Martial Artist elder.


    She never imagined the background would be this significant.


    ¡°Big brother is big brother, I am me.¡± Li Muhua said, ¡°Big brother will help us, this is our opportunity¡­ but whether we can become Flying Heaven Warriors, we also have to work hard ourselves.¡±


    The woman nodded slightly, a few months ago when she found out Li Muhua¡¯s true identity, she was somewhat bewildered.


    Now? She was even more bewildered!


    Even Demigods could be killed, isn¡¯t it to say, this big brother she had yet to meet, gazing across the entire civilization, was already at the most peak existence?


    For a moment, she felt a bit dizzy.


    ¡­


    ¡°My disciple, indeed is quite formidable.¡± Far away in the Mingxu Star Realm, Li Yang, looking at this news, also felt quite sentimental.


    ¡­


    Feixing, Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Li Yuan just breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s slayed a Demigod already?¡±


    ¡°This! This!¡± Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Alicia, and a group of friends exploded in excitement.


    Before the crisis of Lantie Star, although they guessed Li Yuan had entered the realm of Law, he was still only a Prime Warrior¡­ But in the blink of an eye, even Demigods had fallen by Li Yuan¡¯s hand.


    Demigods!


    Seven Star Mountain members, already a gathering place for the top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization, but the vast majority could not become Demigods.


    You can imagine the shock in their hearts from such a drastic change in identity and strength.


    ¡­


    Feixing, Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    ¡°I knew in the Flying Heaven Realm, he would be stronger than I was then, and far surpass.¡±


    ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect it to be so soon.¡±


    ¡°How long has it passed, and Li Yuan¡¯s strength has grown to such a level?¡± Fang Hai said with a smile full of joy.


    ¡°Indeed incredible.¡±


    ¡°In the Flying Heaven Realm, being able to unleash the power at the threshold of a Demigod is already extremely rare.¡± The figure of Yun Lao, ethereal, said quietly, ¡°Like you back then, with Law Comprehension reaching the Semi-Divine Middle Rank, strength also only improved to 42nd level standard, considered entering the Semi-Divine Middle Rank level, only then did you kill those two Demigods.¡±


    ¡°This was almost a limit of the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins, truly lives up to its reputation.¡± Yun Lao lamented with emotion.


    As the ¡®Grand Steward¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization, Yun Lao had an extremely high vision, far surpassing the average Demigod.


    ¡°According to the message Li Yuan transmitted to me, he should have had a breakthrough in Law Comprehension, and his Spear Technique rivals the Seventh Stage Middle Rank.¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Upon entering the Flying Heaven Realm, his transformation in Star Techniques, advancement in Law Comprehension are truly astonishing, already nearing me.¡±


    ¡°In terms of Comprehension.¡±


    ¡°Even Master, probably does not compare to him.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength, in the future, will continue to progress, and perhaps one day, with the status of Flying Heaven, he will truly rival the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    Semi-Divine Peak, the Semi-Divine Limit, is typically 45th level, 46th level, only due to weapons, Law Comprehension standards, causing strength to differ.


    47th level, must possess Seven Star Veins to achieve, also quite rare among Demigods. Most strength hopeful to reach the Pseudo-God threshold, hailed as ¡®Demigod Invincible.¡¯


    As for 48th level, a requirement for Eight Star Veins, even within the Divine Realm, extremely rare.


    ¡°There is hope.¡±


    ¡°Only, his Origin Power, Star Techniques are basically at the limit, if he wants his strength to improve further, can only work harder on perfecting his Spear Technique.¡± Yun Lao said, ¡°Yet, although he combines two Laws, for Law Comprehension to rival the Semi-Divine Limit, even reach the Pseudo-God threshold, is also difficult, it takes even more time¡­¡±


    ¡°Indeed difficult.¡±


    ¡°Before my breakthrough to Demigod, Law Comprehension was already the Seventh Stage Middle Rank standard, and it still is today.¡± Fang Hai shook his head.


    Seventh Stage Middle Rank Comprehension, is the Semi-Divine Peak standard.


    Seventh Stage High Rank Comprehension, is the Semi-Divine Limit standard.


    If Law Comprehension reaches the Seven Stages of Perfection, then one has the hope to Light the Divine Fire, and achieve Pseudo-God status.

    Chapter 675: Chapter 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing


    ¡°Yes, Master, please wait,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said respectfully.


    Semi-Divine Level Souls think very fast, and soon, she had transmitted all the intelligence she knew to Li Yuan through soul transmission.


    Li Yuan kept receiving the intelligence.


    Upon checking, he saw that much of the intelligence was from the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s ¡®Data Library,¡¯ but there was also a lot of information that he was seeing for the first time.


    ¡°So, the Myriad Demons Civilization actually cultivates Flying Heaven Warriors like this, oh, many aspects are still not as good as our Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Hmm? There are Flying Heaven Level geniuses in the Myriad Demons Civilization that are not in the Data Library, they must be newly emerging,¡± Li Yuan read quickly.


    ...


    Most of the intelligence provided by Sang Qiu Demigod wasn¡¯t very useful for the time being.


    After a while, Li Yuan had finished sifting through all the intelligence and quickly categorized it, passing the relevant information into the ¡®Starfire Data Library.¡¯


    Every powerhouse in the Martial Hall can upload various pieces of information during their adventures.


    Once verified, there would be a corresponding reward of Seven Stars Points.


    At Li Yuan¡¯s level, of course, he didn¡¯t care about those small rewards, but enriching the information in the Data Library was something a top powerhouse of his civilization ought to do.


    ¡°Only the three of you Demigods on Lantie Star? Could there be others in hiding that you don¡¯t know about?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Master, I cannot be entirely sure, after all, the Myriad Demons Civilization is very cautious. Like us three Demigods, we don¡¯t know the exact locations of those in the Flying Heaven Realm, we can only wait for commands from higher-ups,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod replied.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Previously, he had hoped that Sang Qiu Demigod could provide the positions of other Alien Race Flying Heaven warriors.


    But after thoroughly reviewing the intelligence, he realized he was expecting too much.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had already considered this.


    ¡°But I think there shouldn¡¯t be any other Demigods,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said, ¡°Firstly, Master, your threat is great, more valuable than the entire Lantie Star. If there were other Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, they would have shown themselves in this battle.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, even in the Myriad Demons Civilization now, there are fewer than ten Flying Heaven Demi-Offspring,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod continued, ¡°Those who have reached Sixth Stage Perfection in True Intent Comprehension usually don¡¯t stay in the Flying Heaven Realm for long.¡±


    ¡°Like Master¡¯s Flying Heaven Realm, in the entire history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, none have been born,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, finding it reasonable.


    Most people¡¯s Star Vein Talent is limited, usually, Five-Star Meridian is the limit, and those who reach the Six Star Pulse are a minority.


    In short, for most Flying Heaven Martial Artists, becoming Demigod is already satisfying enough; naturally, they wouldn¡¯t linger in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    A Divine being? It¡¯s something normal people wouldn¡¯t dare to think about.


    ¡°Very well,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Rest assured, the promise I made will not change, I will definitely help you grow to my utmost because the stronger you become, the more help you will be to me.¡±


    ¡°Whatever Master wishes Sang Qiu to do, Sang Qiu will do,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod replied, her eyes filled with murderous intent, ¡°If Sang Qiu can Ascend to God, in the future, I will definitely return to the Myriad Demons Civilization, exterminating the entire Myriad Demons Civilization, not just for myself, but also to take revenge forMaster.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization wants to kill Master, the entire civilization should be destroyed!!¡± Sang Qiu Demigod seethed with killing intent.


    It¡¯s very difficult for foreign divine beings to descend upon other Dimensional Planes.


    But if Sang Qiu Demigod were to Ascend to God and return to the Myriad Demons Civilization, it would be easy; at least the Origin Plane would not hinder her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°The treasures on you, including those two Divine Artifacts, keep them for yourself,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°After the great battle of Lantie Star ends, I will help you acquire the position of Guest Elder in the Seven Star Civilization, then you can normally exchange for some cultivation resources from the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ If you face troubles you can¡¯t resolve, you can ask me again.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said.


    As a Soul Servant, she was absolutely loyal from the bottom of her heart.


    ¡°Next.¡±


    ¡°First, take this Origin Power Array for me, then go into hiding. Without my command, do not reveal your movements or identity,¡± Li Yuan instructed, ¡°Also, wear this Phantom Spirit Garment that I give you; at the very least, those below Demigod won¡¯t be able to see through your identity.¡±


    Li Yuan waved his hand, handing over the Phantom Spirit Garment he had been using to her.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization would definitely know that Sang Qiu Demigod had been captured.


    After all, to prevent trickery, Liu Bing had destroyed many communication items in advance.


    But after the capture, whether to inquire intelligence then kill, imprison, or control the soul?


    Let the Myriad Demons Civilization guess.


    Even if the Myriad Demons Civilization guessed the truth, there was no reason to give them a direct answer¡­ In the struggle of civilizations, what can be hidden should be hidden.


    ¡­ S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Under the direction of Sang Qiu Demigod, the massive Origin Power Array that had covered tens of kilometers, soon had streams of light flying towards Sang Qiu Demigod, and with the collapse of the formation, the surging black mist began to recede.


    Eventually, the entire Formation Base of the Origin Power Array was completely retracted by Sang Qiu Demigod.


    Phew!


    With a thought from Li Yuan, the Heaven and Earth River Domain spread across ten kilometers, still concealing Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s presence.


    This prevented the distant Flying Heaven Martial Artists from seeing this scene, unclear about who had retracted the Origin Power Array.


    Inside the Heaven and Earth River.


    ¡°Master, this is the Origin Power Array,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod presented it respectfully.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three artifacts, resembling star disks, hovered, each Star Disk Artifact emitting an exceedingly powerful aura.


    Beyond the three artifacts, there were dozens of Semi Divine Artifacts encircling them. There were many of these Semi Divine Artifacts, but the aura they emitted was much weaker.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°This array is called the ¡®Mystic Cloud Origin Formation,¡¯ created by three Divine Artifacts and seventy-two Semi Divine Artifacts working together,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod explained, ¡°If these Semi Divine Artifacts were lost it would not matter, they can be re-crafted, but the core of the array is the three Divine Artifacts, they are indispensable.¡±

 Chapter 676 - 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing_2

    Chapter 676: Chapter 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing_2


    ¡°Hmm, release your recognition, and let me take a closer look,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Sang Qiu Demigod quickly released his ownership.


    Seeing this, Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts immediately stirred, and Origin Power surged into the three Star Disk Artifacts.


    A wealth of information quickly flooded into Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s a fixed Origin Power Array.¡± Li Yuan completely understood the Mystery of the Array.


    With his current broad perspective, many deities might not match him. After carefully perceiving the intricacies of the Array, he was clear about its strengths and weaknesses.


    ...


    The advantage was that it could greatly enhance the Main Formation Master¡¯s strength and even form three Origin Power Dharma Bodies, allowing the master to manipulate these bodies in battle and avoid many dangers.


    But the disadvantages were also evident.


    First, the Array needed to be laid out in advance, and once set, it could not be moved. It was also cumbersome to collect, making it unsuitable for encounters.


    Second, it required three Semi-Divines to implement it together, each belonging to the Earth Vein, Wood Lineage, and Water Lineage.


    ¡°This Origin Power Array is suitable as a stronghold or for use during garrisoning,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°or for setting up advance traps for ambush.¡±


    ¡°With over ten Flying Heaven demons, it¡¯s no wonder that the Eastern Demon Deity chose you three to come,¡± Li Yuan looked at Sang Qiu Demigod.


    The three of them happened to meet the attribute requirements.


    ¡°I should also thank that fool from the East Demon. If it weren¡¯t for him, how could I have encountered my master?¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said solemnly.


    Li Yuan shook his head with a smile, ¡°Sang Qiu, this Array wouldn¡¯t exhibit much power in your hands, so I¡¯ll take it.¡±


    ¡°As the master commands,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said.


    Li Yuan waved his hand and took away the three Divine Artifacts and dozens of Semi-Divine Artifacts. This Origin Power Array, with just one single Artifact taken out, was flawed and of low value. Li Yuan estimated it could only be worth 10 Divine Crystals, maybe even less.


    However, as a whole, Li Yuan reckoned the entire Array could sell for hundreds of Fangshen Crystals, increasing its value more than tenfold.


    ¡°Despite its flaws, the good outweighs the bad,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If three Semi-Divine Middle Rank cultivators with the correct attributes were to lead the Array, all three could achieve the power of a Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    Just this point alone made the Array¡¯s value no less than five hundred Fangshen Crystals.


    Keep in mind, the treasures Li Yuan acquired from killing Pu Yang Demigod and Suhaer Demigod amounted to just a hundred Fangshen Crystals.


    This Array was Li Yuan¡¯s biggest gain this time.


    ¡­


    After stowing it away, under Li Yuan¡¯s Domain concealment, Sang Qiu Demigod quickly delved deeply into the earth and left far behind.


    Following Li Yuan¡¯s command, he would continue to pursue and kill the Flying Heaven Alien Race of the Myriad Demons Civilization without revealing himself.


    ¡°Carry on with the aftermath,¡± Li Yuan told the group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Yes,¡± they all replied respectfully.


    ¡°Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan communicated, ¡°I¡¯ve taken control of that Demigod. As planned, continue with the inquiry and cleanup.¡±


    ¡°Okay, big brother.¡±


    Li Yuan then quickly split up with Liu Bing to continue the pursuit and cleanup, eliminating the remaining Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    Although he was unclear about the exact locations of these Flying Heaven Alien Races.


    At least, with the information provided by Sang Qiu Demigod, the Seven Star Civilization could confirm the number of Flying Heaven Alien Races on Lantie Star.


    Now, it was equivalent to having four Demigods joining forces in the inquiry.


    ¡­


    Deep within the earth, Li Yuan moved forward through the rock layers at a speed of five kilometers per second.


    Flying Heaven Warriors could easily traverse the earth.


    Not to mention Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, moving through the earth was a breeze.


    However, stealthily moving within the earth, obstructed by soil and rocks, was much slower.


    Fortunately!


    Li Yuan had crossed the Threshold of the Law of Earth, evoking the Mysteries of Earth, allowing him to move relatively quickly within the earth.


    ¡°On Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°Only a few hundred Flying Heaven Alien Races remained, which is good news.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°However, these remaining aliens are not enough to increase my Spiritual Awakening Level to 80%, even reaching 76% would be difficult,¡± Li Yuan reckoned, glancing at some prompts on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace panel.


    ¡°[By killing a Fourth Rank creature, you have broken the shackles of the Divine Palace, and the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening is now 80%]¡±


    ¡°[Due to the accumulated Spirituality Nourishment from the past, your Spiritual Awakening Level has increased from 75% to 75.9%]¡±


    ¡°[By killing a Fourth Rank creature, you have acquired Spirituality Nourishment, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has increased from 75.9% to 76%]¡±


    ¡°[By killing a Fourth¡­76.1%]¡±


    From these Divine Palace prompts alone, Li Yuan understood that his previous conjectures were correct.


    To break through the major bottleneck of 75% in Spiritual Awakening, one must kill a Semi-Divine.


    But this was only the first step in increasing the Spiritual Awakening upper limit to 100%. Merely relying on slaughter was not enough.


    Spiritual power needed to become stronger.


    ¡°My spiritual power is at level 48, insufficient for the Spiritual Awakening upper limit to reach 85%. I estimate that only by transforming the spiritual power to the Pseudo-God Level will it work,¡± Li Yuan judged.


    To let the Mind Spirit Divine Palace play a significant role, there were high requirements for spiritual power.


    One slow step leads to many.


    Had it not been for Li Yuan¡¯s mad pursuit of the Visualization Method, even taking immense risks, he could never have achieved what he had.


    ¡°If I want Spiritual Guidance for the Nine Star Pulse awakening in the Flying Heaven Realm, the fourth time will be the most helpful,¡± Li Yuan was clear about this. ¡°To do so, I must increase my Spiritual Awakening Level to 100%.¡±


    First, the upper limit must be raised to 100%.


    Second, enough Spirituality Nourishment must be obtained.


    ¡°Counting the sweep of the Second Level Star Realm two years ago, I¡¯ve killed over a thousand Flying Heaven Warriors, and that only increased my Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.9%?¡± Li Yuan concluded. ¡°So, every hundred Flying Heaven Alien Races killed after 75% only contribute to a 0.1% improvement?¡±


    ¡°And killing an Alien Race Semi-Divine would raise it by 0.1%?¡±


    From this point alone, Li Yuan realized he had a long way to go to raise his Spiritual Awakening Level to 100%.

 Chapter 677 - 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing_3

    Chapter 677: Chapter 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing_3


    Apart from having a Pseudo-God Level Soul!


    Secondly, at least two hundred Alien Race Demigods need to be killed¡­ but Demigods are not so easily killed.


    Frequent river walkers inevitably get their shoes wet.


    Like this time, if Li Yuan were to encounter a Semi-Divine Peak Expert just before a breakthrough, he¡¯d likely have to use an item to save his life.


    If he encountered two? There would be a danger of falling.


    ¡°After the breakthrough of Spear Technique, with my own strength, I have a certain hope of survival in front of a Semi-Divine Peak Expert,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°but if I encountered a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, death is certain.¡±


    ...


    ¡°If I fight an Alien Race Demigod, I need even stronger power,¡± Li Yuan thought, looking again at the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡­


    ¡°My Star Techniques are nearing the Flying Heaven Limit, even if I were to continue to cultivate ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit, it wouldn¡¯t greatly enhance my strength, only my ability to survive,¡± Li Yuan was clear on this point: ¡°So, the only path for improving my strength now is twofold.¡±


    ¡°One is obtaining a stronger Divine Artifact, and the other is striving to strengthen my Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°For instance, comprehending the third form of the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ would naturally cause my strength to surge once more,¡± Li Yuan thought privately.


    However, either method is very difficult.


    Even obtaining a powerful Divine Artifact requires a high enough realm to bring out its effects.


    ¡°After all, the core thing is Law Comprehension,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently: ¡°Whether it¡¯s the Law of Earth or the True Meaning of Wind¡­ I still have much room for progress.¡±


    It¡¯s been less than two years since I became a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    While the two auxiliary Supreme Star Techniques seemed not to directly enhance his strength, Li Yuan¡¯s rapid progress in laws made them indispensable.


    ¡°Once the conflict on Lantie Star is over, I¡¯ll continue to ponder the True Meaning of Wind,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Break through earlier and fully comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map¡­ then I can head to the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    Li Yuan hadn¡¯t forgotten the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s promise.


    Becoming a Flying Heaven and fully comprehending the Thousand Illusions Formation Map would allow him to head to the Nine Leaves World, which is where the greatest opportunity lies for Li Yuan in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    ¡­


    Time passed, day by day.


    With the addition of Sang Qiu Demigod as new reinforcement, and having basically confirmed the force of the Myriad Demons Civilization on Lantie Star¡­ the cleansing efforts of the Seven Star Civilization rapidly accelerated.


    Nearly a month later, the Seven Star Civilization side had killed hundreds of Flying Heaven Alien Race members.


    Combining intelligence, they had basically confirmed that the number of Flying Heaven Alien Race on Lantie Star had fallen below one hundred.


    And after rounds of relentless purging, the remaining Flying Heaven Alien Race were thoroughly terrorized, each hiding deeply, making it very difficult to directly find them.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that those in the Flying Heaven Realm cannot live in space permanently, these Flying Heaven Alien Race would have likely fled into the starry sky by now.


    Thus.


    The conflict on Lantie Star was basically concluded, and many of the Flying Heaven Warriors who had come to support began to withdraw in droves.


    The Seven Great Planets, many regions, and Star Realms, all required more support from Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Likewise, Li Yuan also received orders to prepare to return.


    In Lantie Star, Lu¡¯an City, this place is the entrance to the Sixth Star Realm, the first city Li Yuan arrived at when he reached this planet.


    In a twelve-story building, within a top-floor hotel.


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you for your efforts during this crisis on Lantie Star,¡± Mu Ji Demigod, dressed in casual clothes today, said while holding a wine glass, his voice filled with gratitude: ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you and your Spirit Beast¡¯s help, we alone might not have been able to save Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s an overstatement,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Although it¡¯s been a long time since he came to Lantie Star, today was the first time he had seen Mu Ji Demigod.


    The personality he showed was very much to Li Yuan¡¯s liking.


    ¡°I¡¯m not overstating; I truly am grateful,¡± Mu Ji Demigod said: ¡°I¡¯ve inquired about it, those three Alien Race Demigods teamed up, if they had gone against me, or against An Ji and the others¡­ the outcome would be hard to say.¡±


    ¡°But they went against you, and were either captured or killed by you.¡±


    An Ji, a Semi-Divine Initial Rank expert from Lantie Star, is another name for the semi-divine.


    ¡°Your strength is even greater than mine, and for that, I am grateful,¡± the Semi-Divine Semi Mu said sincerely. ¡°Lantie Star is my hometown; I was very worried it would follow the same fate as Feixing when the crisis erupted.¡±


    ¡°Despite the great losses in this battle, most people survived,¡± Semi-Divine Semi Mu stated.


    Li Yuan also felt deeply moved.


    Like on Feixing, why were there so many semi-divines gathered? Other than the need to guard the most Third Level Star Realms on Feixing, it also related to Feixing being more conducive to cultivation.


    The most powerful legacies, the frequent exchanges among the numerous semi-divines¡­ all drew many semi-divines to want to stay on Feixing.


    Yet, many of them also held affection for their homelands.


    Just like Li Yuan, he valued other planets¡¯ civilizations, but undoubtedly, to him, Blue Star was the most important.


    ¡°I will have Sang Qiu Demigod stay another three months to continue investigating inside and outside of Lantie Star, striving to discover more about the Flying Heaven Alien Race,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°but Little Ice and I are preparing to return to Feixing.¡±


    The matter of Sang Qiu Demigod could be kept from others, but not from Semi Mu.


    Hmph!


    A small green snake darted out from the sleeve of Li Yuan¡¯s arm, stared at Semi Mu, and snorted, ¡°Hey, big guy, remember, don¡¯t call me ¡®spirit beast,¡¯ my name is Liu Bing.¡±


    ¡°Is this that Divine Snake? It¡¯s shrunk to such an extent? Its aura is completely concealed?¡± Semi Mu was astonished.


    ¡°That¡¯s natural,¡± Liu Bing said proudly.


    ¡°Ha ha, alright, I¡¯ll remember to call you by your name from now on,¡± Semi Mu laughed.


    He was well aware of Liu Bing¡¯s prowess; in terms of strength, she was likely even more powerful than he was, and in terms of speed, she far surpassed him.


    ¡°Alright, Brother Mu, I shall take my leave now,¡± Li Yuan raised his glass and smiled.


    ¡°Safe travels.¡±


    ¡­


    Without notifying anyone else, Li Yuan, accompanied by Liu Bing, quickly passed through the Sixth Star Realm and returned to Feixing.


    As soon as he flew out from the other end of the star realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come to the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters immediately upon your return to Feixing,¡± Fang Hai had already sent a message.


    ¡°The planetary defense system truly lives up to its reputation,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself: ¡°I just got back to Feixing, and the Principal already knows?¡±


    Clearly, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s control over Feixing was far beyond what Lantie Star could compare to.


    ¡°Big brother, do I need to return to the Heavenly Snake Hall?¡± Liu Bing poked her head out of the sleeve.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    ¡°This time we meet with the Principal, I¡¯ll get you an identity in an instant,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°From now on, you¡¯ll be able to roam the Seven Star Civilization on your own, no need to worry anymore.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes lit up. Although she had gained much knowledge, she also longed to engage with more people and events at heart.


    Communicating with other beings was, in a sense, also part of her cultivation.


    ¡°Big brother, let me take you then,¡± Liu Bing whispered with a chuckle: ¡°Your flying speed is too slow.¡±


    ¡°Is this still slow?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes widened; after his breakthrough, his surface flying speed had reached 10 kilometers per second.


    That is about 30 times the speed of sound.


    But soon, Li Yuan fell silent, for once Liu Bing enlarged her body and carried him on her back, she truly displayed her terrifying speed.


    Whizz~


    Without a sound, a virtually undetectable streak of blue light swept across the heavens and earth, the air not even vibrating.


    ¡°20 kilometers per second?¡± Li Yuan was astounded.


    On Feixing, Liu Bing had never demonstrated such a terrifying speed.


    ¡°Big brother, when just assisting in searches and pursuits, I naturally unleash all my strength,¡± Liu Bing transmitted. ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯ve just perfected the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Sky-Cleaving Wings¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit.¡±


    Li Yuan realized this, but was also quite shocked in his heart.


    Semi-divines typically reached a flying speed of 20 times the speed of sound, about 7 kilometers per second.


    Semi-Divine Middle Rank generally had a speed of about 9 kilometers per second.


    Semi-Divine Peak generally achieved a speed of about 10 to 12 kilometers per second.


    Of course, if one cultivated under the Wind Vein or Thunder Vein systems, their speed would be faster, and if one trained in the Escape Skill Star Technique, the speed increase would be very rapid. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But to have a flying speed as terrifying as Liu Bing¡¯s was quite rare among the semi-divines.


    ¡°Even if it were a Semi-Divine Limit Expert who isn¡¯t adept at speed, they probably couldn¡¯t catch up with Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself: ¡°The top-tier Wind Elemental Divine Beast, coupled with the Nine Layer Escape Technique, truly stands unparalleled in terms of speed within the Flying Heaven.¡±


    Across the Seven Star Civilization¡­


    Besides the Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan estimated that there might be no other semi-divines who could catch up with Liu Bing.


    Just like that¡­


    In less than half an hour, Liu Bing had already brought Li Yuan to the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.

 Chapter 678 - 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star

    Chapter 678: Chapter 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star


    This was not Li Yuan¡¯s first time at the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    But the previous two times, Li Yuan had sneaked in from the side, hiding his tracks all the way, but this time, he arrived openly and legitimately.


    The Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters, occupying an extremely vast area, was towering into the clouds, standing over a thousand kilometers tall.


    It was the largest and tallest building on the entire Feixing.


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Liu Bing was also looking at the massive Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters and transmitted, ¡°Senior Qiu said that this building should be disguised by an extremely powerful magical treasure.¡±


    ¡°Um,¡± Li Yuan nodded; the previous two times he came, Gu You had mentioned something similar.


    ...


    According to Gu You¡¯s conjecture, it was most likely a True God Instrument.


    It should be the one controlled by the Alliance Hierarch¡­ Li Yuan was also curious, was this True God Instrument also brought back by the Alliance Hierarch from the Nine Leaves World?


    Before long.


    Liu Bing once again reduced her size, coiling around Li Yuan¡¯s arm as he slowly landed at the great gates of the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    At the gate, there were many Prime Warriors guarding, and many people coming in and out.


    Quite a few people noticed Li Yuan.


    Flying? It was not rare; occasionally, Flying Heaven Warriors would come to the Martial Hall Headquarters.


    In other places of the Seven Star Civilization, Flying Heaven Warriors were major figures, but here, they were quite common.


    Just as Li Yuan entered the gate.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan, welcome,¡± a gentle voice rang out, echoing in front of the gate.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan is back from Feixing?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Star Master Li Yuan? I actually didn¡¯t recognize him.¡± Whether it was the guarding Prime Warriors or the hall members going in and out for business, a burst of exclamations erupted.


    It was not their fault, Li Yuan was wearing Combat Armor, completely covering his body; it was very difficult to distinguish him from his appearance alone.


    Swish!


    A figure in green garments flashed by and appeared in front of Li Yuan: ¡°Li Yuan, you arrived so quickly? We just received the news of your arrival.¡±


    ¡°San Ye Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Semi-Divine anymore; just address me as San Ye, the Grand Hall Master is waiting for you,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Follow me, please.¡±


    San Ye Semi-Divine was very clear that in terms of strength, Li Yuan was probably above her, she wouldn¡¯t be putting on any airs.


    With such might in the Flying Heaven Realm, once he made a breakthrough, what level would Li Yuan¡¯s strength reach? It was hard to imagine.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan did not insist, he was clear about the thoughts of these demigods. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two of them, one behind the other, flew directly along the wide corridor, quickly towards the highest level of the Martial Hall Headquarters.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan is really impressive.¡±


    ¡°To have San Ye Semi-Divine come to greet him.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan has a record of slaying a demigod, San Ye Semi-Divine does not¡­ I heard that Star Master Li Yuan¡¯s strength is considered extremely strong among the demigods.¡± Along the way, many people were discussing in hushed tones.


    ¡°Regardless.¡±


    ¡°With Star Master Li Yuan¡¯s return, it looks like, the crisis on Lantie Star should be essentially resolved.¡±


    ¡­


    Proceeding along the way, the higher they went, the fewer people there were, until the top floor where there was nobody at all.


    ¡°The entire headquarters has a total of 100 floors,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said: ¡°The 99th floor is where the Seven Stars Council is held, and all of the civilization¡¯s demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors can reach there.¡±


    ¡°But this 100th floor can only be accessed by the Martial Hall¡¯s demigods and Heavenly Star Lords, so there are usually very few people here.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; the last time he came, he had gone to the 99th floor and left a Divine Consciousness Brand.


    The 100th floor was his first visit.


    Soon, when San Ye Semi-Divine pushed open one of the doors, Li Yuan caught sight of Fang Hai standing in the conference room.


    Beside him stood the somewhat ethereal figure of Elder Yun.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine stood at the door and said softly, ¡°Li Yuan has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Teacher San Ye,¡± Fang Hai looked at San Ye Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master, in the future, addressing me simply as San Ye will do; I dare not accept the title of teacher,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine¡¯s voice was a bit cold: ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±


    Immediately after, San Ye Semi-Divine nodded slightly at Li Yuan, her face returning with a smile, then turned into a stream of light and went far away.


    Leaving Fang Hai with an embarrassed expression.


    ¡°Principal?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but call out again; he perceived that the relationship between the principal and San Ye Semi-Divine seemed somewhat unusual.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, welcome back victorious,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression returned to normal, smiling, ¡°Come, have a seat.¡±


    Inside the conference room, there were chairs and tea sets.


    Fang Hai sat down directly, and Li Yuan also followed suit, sitting down. Although his own strength had greatly increased, facing Fang Hai, Li Yuan could still feel a huge threat¡­ immediately making Li Yuan understand that in terms of strength, he was still no match for Principal Fang Hai.


    Perhaps, in terms of the Law Realm, they were already close.


    But the gap in the foundation between the two was still very large.


    ¡°When I first made a breakthrough, the principal was already at the Semi-Divine Peak strength,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°More than a year has passed, the principal¡¯s Origin Power Cultivation must have improved a lot, and his strength probably has made great progress, perhaps it could even compare to the Semi-Divine Limit.¡±


    As one of the Seven Star Veins, even if the Law Comprehension was lower, it was relatively much easier to improve strength up to the Semi-Divine Limit.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Fang Hai dressed in black garments, smiling at Li Yuan: ¡°This time on Lantie Star, you made a great contribution, and I, on behalf of the Seven Star Civilization, would like to thank you for your contributions.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what I should do,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Elder Yun,¡± Fang Hai looked at the white-robed old man.


    ¡°First of all, you¡¯ve made great achievements in this battle; according to the rules left by the master, we¡¯ll still be calculating your contribution and merits,¡± Elder Yun said: ¡°It¡¯s a total of 5 million Seven Stars Points¡­ in actuality, this falls far short of the contribution you made, but the resources of the entire civilization are limited, so I hope you understand.¡±


    ¡°Elder Yun, rest assured, I understand, and I am very satisfied,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.

 Chapter 679 - 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star_2

    Chapter 679: Chapter 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star_2


    ¡°`


    5 million Seven Stars Points, that is, 50 Divine Crystals.


    These rewards, they parallel the entire assets of an ordinary Semi-Divine, the reward isn¡¯t small¡­


    But Li Yuan¡¯s own gains are even bigger.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan clearly understands in his heart that the Lantie Star crisis has caused huge losses to the entire civilization¡­ just the post-war reconstruction alone is destined to consume resources amounting to an astronomical figure.


    And the massive amount of consolation money.


    ...


    Wars in the Star Realm are about expansion, about seizing external resources.


    But the battle on Lantie Star was a war within the borders, all were losses.


    Therefore, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t planned on claiming any Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Principal, Yun Lao.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°During the great battle on Lantie Star, I¡¯ve obtained quite a number of treasures, among which is a set of extremely powerful formations. I¡¯ve been thinking that I have no use for it and would like to sell it to the treasury. Would you like to take a look?¡±


    ¡°A formation? Is it that one that gathers the black clouds?¡± Fang Hai asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Let Yun Lao take a look,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°The treasury of the civilization is under his direct control, and his ability to appraise is far better than mine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded and, with a wave of his hand, brought out the entire Mysterious Cloud Formation, instantly, strands of profound and powerful aura dispersed.


    ¡°What a treasure,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°The foundation of a complete formation.¡± Yun Lao also said solemnly, ¡°Let me sense it carefully and take a closer look.¡±


    Li Yuan was not in a hurry.


    As time passed, a full quarter of an hour later, Yun Lao finally spoke again, ¡°This Origin Power Array is very good, enough to guard some critical positions. Li Yuan¡­ the Seven Stars Treasury is willing to pay 40 million Seven Stars Points to purchase this formation. Are you willing?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t bargain.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Yun Lao couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°You should know the true value of this formation. Aren¡¯t you going to bargain? You are at a loss.¡±


    If this setup were sold in the Divine Realm, it could fetch between 600-800 Fangshen Crystals, which would be hopeful.


    ¡°Yun Lao, could I possibly sell it to someone else?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t need this formation, but it can be of great use to the entire civilization, so why keep it in my hands¡­ As for being at a loss, just like the Alliance Hierarch, many treasures have probably been contributed to the treasury without compensation.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch too, secretly gave up many treasures, helping many juniors,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°Now that my strength suffices, if there¡¯s a chance, I should consider the entirety of the civilization.¡±


    After having a detailed understanding of the foundation and strength of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Li Yuan was clear in his heart that unknowingly, he had gradually grown into one of the top powerhouses of the civilization.


    One cannot only look out for oneself.


    For a civilization to rise, it is actually supported by a handful of top powerhouses, shielding the later comers from wind and rain.


    Succession from generation to generation, continuance, are what make it strong.


    If the top powerhouses were all selfish, then it would be very difficult for a civilization to persist.


    Hearing Li Yuan¡¯s words.


    ¡°Yun Lao, do you still have concerns?¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, with Li Yuan¡¯s character, he will never disappoint you or the teacher.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha.¡± Yun Lao laughed.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the master has already entered the Nine Mountains World, and will likely not return for a short while,¡± Yun Lao said.


    Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, the Alliance Hierarch left Feixing?


    ¡°When did this happen?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Last September,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°In the entire civilization, only Yun Lao and I know of this.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Lant Semi-Divine should also be aware. The teacher must have told him,¡± Fang Hai pondered.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Last September? That was September 2051. Calculating the time, that was not far from when the principal took over as the Starfire Chief Hall Master and Deputy Alliance Leader.


    ¡°Why tell me?¡± Li Yuan could not help asking.


    ¡°Because you are almost qualified,¡± Yun Lao said with a smile. ¡°In terms of strength, you¡¯re already among the top ten in our civilization, and even potentially competing for the top five.¡± sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Top five? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    The Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Civilization were indeed generally not strong, it couldn¡¯t be helped, the Cultivation Time was too short.


    ¡°With your strength at just the Flying Heaven Realm, your future is limitless,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°Once you pass the Nine Leaves Trial, you may even match a Semi-Divine Peak and also gain many beneficial treasures¡­ In summary, the Alliance Hierarch has high hopes for you.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    The words of the Alliance Hierarch before were still fresh in his memory.


    ¡°The Nine Leaves Trial, is it the Nine Leaves World?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°Roughly,¡± Yun Lao vaguely said. ¡°When you go to the Nine Leaves World, you will naturally understand.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Whenever these matters are brought up, they always seem shrouded in secrecy.


    ¡°Li Yuan, with the teacher gone, I am now in charge of defending Feixing, it should be all right,¡± Fang Hai sighed. ¡°But to tell the truth, my strength now compared to the teacher during the Feixing battle a hundred years ago, still falls short¡­ indeed, there is great pressure.¡±


    ¡°Like these Lantie Star crises, if the teacher were here, everything would probably be quickly suppressed.¡±


    ¡°But with the teacher gone, I am also helpless,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Listening, Li Yuan also had many thoughts flashing through his mind.


    ¡°Many things.¡±


    ¡°I hope you can grow up quickly and shoulder it with me,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was startled.


    Shoulder it together?


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Yun Lao looked at Li Yuan, ¡°according to the master¡¯s instructions, once you reveal Semi Divine Level strength, you don¡¯t have to stay in the Martial Divine Star Realm, and you should gradually take over some of the affairs of the civilization.¡±


    ¡°I will follow the arrangements,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°The plan is for you to return to Blue Star, to take the position of Starfire Blue Star Main Hall Master,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Currently, there is no Semi-Divine Peak Expert stationed on Blue Star, with you returning, it can greatly alleviate the defense pressure of Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°No Semi-Divine Peak Expert on Blue Star?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    ¡°With the teacher gone, Lant Semi-Divine, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and I are all defending Feixing,¡± Fang Hai explained. ¡°Xin Yu Semi-Divine came from Heavenly Sea Star and has long been defending Heavenly Sea Star.¡±

 Chapter 680 - 367 Blue Star Grand Hall Master_3

    Chapter 680: Chapter 367 Blue Star Grand Hall Master_3


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s just about significance.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Sea Star is actually more important than Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Heavenly Sea Star has a population of over 30 billion.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, having truly felt the scarcity of top-tier power in the Seven Star Civilization.


    With the Alliance Hierarch absent, only four semi-divine peak experts remained, a very dangerous situation.


    Fortunately! It seemed that the Myriad Demons Civilization was still unaware.


    Furthermore, according to the principal, they seemed to have some trump cards that could ensure they would block the invasion from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ...


    ¡°On Blue Star, apart from the Third Level Star Realm of Wanhan Star Realm, the most critical is actually the Kunlun Star Realm, which directly faces the Immortal Ruins Civilization and poses the greatest potential danger,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Once there are disturbances in the Kunlun Star Realm, such as upgrading to a Third Level Star Realm, and if the Immortal Ruins Civilization decides to invade¡­ it won¡¯t be as simple as with Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°The overall strength of the Immortal Ruins Civilization is more than ten times that of the Myriad Demons Civilization; I even suspect that there are still living true gods in the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°At least, there are at least ten living pseudo-gods in the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    Listening, Li Yuan felt even more concerned.


    In that case, how many semi-divines did the Immortal Ruins Civilization have? Based on the information Li Yuan knew, the entrance and exit of the Kunlun Star Realm could potentially expand to a Fourth Level Star Realm¡­ In the most dangerous times, that would absolutely be a nightmare.


    This place was also the most concerning point for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go back to Blue Star to take up my post,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Good, by the way, just serve as the president of Kunlun Martial University for a few years,¡± Fang Hai laughed. ¡°Later on, if there¡¯s nothing extra, you¡¯ll need to be stationed at Kunlun Martial University for the long term.¡±


    ¡°Serve as president?¡± Li Yuan felt a slight stir in his heart.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the deans and vice presidents will handle the matters; you¡¯ll just hold the title,¡± Fang Hai laughed. ¡°Also, the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star will also be the leader of all of Blue Star, and all the forces on Blue Star will follow your commands, including each of the semi-divines.¡±


    ¡°Including the semi-divines?¡± Li Yuan was startled. ¡°Including Senior Bai Shan?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°This matter, Senior Bai Shan has known about it for a long time; he won¡¯t oppose it. Originally, I was able to securely hold the position of Grand Hall Master of Blue Star because Bai Shan Semi-Divine supported me,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan nodded, realizing this.


    ¡°The specifics of the matter will be discussed by Master Yun with you when you return to Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°He will assist you.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    It seemed, the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star was practically the top authority over all of Blue Star?


    Apparently, he was already a lord of a territory!


    Yet, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned about it; having reached his level of power, especially after experiencing the Lantie Star crisis and having clashed with a semi-divine, worldly power didn¡¯t attract Li Yuan anymore.


    Becoming a stronger cultivator was Li Yuan¡¯s pursuit.


    ¡°There are two more things,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°The first matter concerns you, it¡¯s about the Nine Leaves World; according to our teacher¡¯s instructions, once you have Level 44 combat strength, you qualify to go there.¡±


    ¡°Previously, I had Level 42 combat strength and took the final trial,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°You won¡¯t wait to fully understand the Thousand Illusions Formation Map?¡± Li Yuan was astonished; he now had Level 44 combat strength.


    ¡°Before the master left, he predicted that you would step into the Law Level with both ¡®Earth¡¯ and ¡®Wind¡¯ only at Level 44 combat strength,¡± Master Yun noted. ¡°But clearly, there was a miscalculation.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; probably the Alliance Hierarch also didn¡¯t expect that he would practice so many Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    ¡°My suggestion.¡±


    ¡°Still, follow the teacher¡¯s instructions,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Your strength is already extremely powerful, but if you could fully understand the Thousand Illusions Formation Map, it would bring many benefits in the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then wait for the True Meaning of Wind to condense into the Law, then go to the Nine Leaves World,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Yuan had his own considerations.


    Once he fully understood the Wind Law, his strength would increase¡­ and after a few more years, Little Ice¡¯s strength would also become much stronger, improving their chances significantly.


    He wasn¡¯t even thirty yet, no need to hurry.


    ¡°The second matter.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that the Myriad Demons Civilization has sent us a message, wanting to negotiate peace with us,¡± Fang Hai smiled.


    ¡°Negotiate peace?¡± Li Yuan widened his eyes. What kind of joke was that?


    The Myriad Demons Civilization actually wanted to negotiate peace?


    Impossible!


    ¡°Not just the Myriad Demons Civilization, other Foreign Civilizations like the Cloud Beast Civilization, Tianliang Civilization and many others have fought with us before,¡± Master Yun laughed. ¡°Recently, they all have put_forward peace proposals.¡±


    Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°What conditions are these Foreign Civilizations offering?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Since these Foreign Civilizations were initiating peace offers, they definitely needed to offer something substantial.


    ¡°Basically, it involves withdrawing from the bordering Third Level Star Realms and Second Level Star Realms,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°Then, compensate with some treasures, Divine Crystals, and such.¡±


    ¡°However, most of them require you, Fang Hai, and the master to set down Law oaths, promising not to initiate wars against them,¡± Master Yun said.


    ¡°That really sounds too good,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°Proactively withdrawing from Third Level Star Realms? Do they even dare not to retreat?¡±


    Li Yuan asked himself, with his current strength, he was more than capable of sweeping through most Third Level Star Realms.


    After all, only a handful of Third Level Star Realms have Semi-Divine beings, and most of them are of ordinary strength.


    Not many can withstand me.


    ¡°Like the Cloud Beast Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, etc., actually, most are merely guarded by Semi-Divine Peak experts,¡± Fang Hai chuckled, ¡°Once your strength advances further, you can completely overpower the Third Level Star Realms¡­ By then, they won¡¯t be able to do anything about you.¡±


    ¡°Conversely, if you want to fight, you fight; if you want to leave, you leave. Some weaker Foreign Civilizations will probably be destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Most civilizations¡¯ foundations are not as strong as our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°There isn¡¯t a Secret Treasure capable of easily slaying a Semi-Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    In the past, in the Mortal Domain, it was extremely rare for someone in the Flying Heaven Realm to possess the strength of a Semi-Divine threshold.


    Therefore, as long as a Semi-Divine guarded the entrances to the Third Level Star Realm, it was very safe.


    But now, being a Second Rank Eight Star Veins, many of my actions¡¯ logic had changed.


    ¡°Principal, what do you imply?¡± Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai.


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk gradually,¡± Fang Hai smiled, ¡°Currently, your strength has not yet reached the Semi-Divine Peak, so even if we negotiate, those Foreign Civilizations won¡¯t concede much¡­ Once your strength grows further, they will eventually bow down.¡±


    ¡°By then, there¡¯s no need for us to lay down a Law Oath; they will all bow down regardless,¡± Fang Hai stated.


    Li Yuan gently nodded.


    Deep down, Li Yuan was reluctant to lay down a Law Oath; it was an additional restraint.


    ¡°The only thing that¡¯s non-negotiable.¡±


    ¡°That is the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes glimmered with a murderous intent, ¡°Following my teacher¡¯s orders, only one of us and the Myriad Demons Civilization can survive. The old grudge of Feixing will never be forgotten.¡±


    ¡°The Lantie Star crisis this time again is a blood debt of hundreds of millions.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded firmly.


    In the education of the Seven Star Civilization, starting from primary school, the ¡®Battle of Feixing¡¯ is heavily emphasized.


    That was the moment when the civilization came closest to extinction, unforgettable.


    Thus, other civilizations can be negotiated with, but the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ there¡¯s absolutely no possibility.


    ¡­


    After the conversation with Fang Hai ended.


    Soon, the transfer order was sent back to Blue Star.


    At the same time, Li Yuan¡¯s rank was directly promoted from a Third-Class Star Master to a First Rank Star Master.


    In the Seven Star Civilization, those who possessed such a status were very few.


    It also represented that Li Yuan¡¯s authority had escalated to an extremely high level.


    But Li Yuan did not rush back to Blue Star, instead, he went deep into the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters to the ¡®Divine Artifact Chamber.¡¯


    Here, stored were all the Divine Artifacts that could be freely exchanged from the entire Seven Stars Treasury, along with a few treasured relics.


    It was the most crucial place in the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Even the Semi-Divine of the alliance had to apply and be approved before coming here.


    Li Yuan¡¯s previous visit was to exchange for the Divine Artifact Long Spear he was currently using.


    In the vast hall.


    Floating were numerous Divine Artifacts emitting a powerful aura, each suppressed by special fluctuations.


    Densely packed, the Divine Artifact Chamber had a total of hundreds of Divine Artifacts.


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master¡¯s resources are truly formidable,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, sensing that many of the Divine Artifacts were special, probably impressive even among the Fifth Rank.


    ¡°Some of these Divine Artifacts were obtained by the Grand Hall Master from the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains,¡± Yun Lao chuckled, ¡°But many more are from the Grand Hall Master slaying Alien Race Semi-Divine in these years.¡±


    ¡°Do you want to exchange for a Divine Artifact?¡± Yun Lao asked curiously. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yun Lao.¡±


    ¡°During my last visit, there were two Divine Artifacts I had my eye on, and now I want to exchange for both,¡± Li Yuan smiled.

 Chapter 681 - 368: Harvest

    Chapter 681: Chapter 368: Harvest


    Last time he visited the Divine Artifact Chamber, Li Yuan had taken a liking to these two divine artifacts; however, his Divine Crystal fortune wasn¡¯t enough at that time, so he could only exchange for an ordinary long spear.


    But now, Li Yuan felt that it should barely be enough.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Accompanying Master Yun¡¯s gesture, a divine artifact imprisoned in the distant void drifted over.


    It landed directly in front of Li Yuan.


    It was a pale blue shuttle-shaped divine artifact, its surface emitting a hazy glow, just like clusters of nebulae.


    ...


    ¡°Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.¡± Li Yuan eyed it covetously.


    He had previously sensed this divine artifact and knew its general information.


    It was a Wind System divine artifact, a top-grade among Pseudo-God Artifacts. It was a flying divine artifact that could change size. Whether ascending to the heavens, diving into the ocean, or roaming the starry sky, it was capable of doing anything.


    If one¡¯s comprehension of the Wind Law was extremely high, the might it could unleash was astonishing, and its flying speed was incredibly fast; even many Pseudo-Gods couldn¡¯t catch up to it.


    At the same time, the defense of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was also quite formidable. Hiding within it, even a Pseudo-God powerhouse couldn¡¯t break through.


    Of course,


    This divine artifact also had weaknesses. The first was during high-speed flight where its agility was insufficient, so it wasn¡¯t suitable for close combat; it should only be used to chase enemies or escape.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï


    Second, once hidden inside, one could only rely on the artifact¡¯s inherent might, and one¡¯s own attacks couldn¡¯t penetrate from within. If the enemy¡¯s strength was overwhelming, even if they couldn¡¯t break the artifact¡¯s defense, they could still suppress it completely.


    But for Li Yuan,


    What he valued was the speed advantage of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    ¡°In terms of defense, if I hid in the Ancient Divine Palace, that would truly be invincible defense.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But the Ancient Divine Palace is a Cave Heaven Treasure, and it moves very slowly.¡±


    ¡°If Little Ice were here, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle wouldn¡¯t be of much use.¡±


    ¡°But I can¡¯t always expect Little Ice to be with me.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Before becoming a demigod, I can¡¯t cultivate the Escaping Method Star Technique, so I can only rely on divine treasures to compensate.¡±


    At least, before becoming a demigod, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle would be of great help to Li Yuan.


    ¡°This Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, if you wish to exchange it, is worth 30 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°Do you want to exchange?¡±


    ¡°Confirmed,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Alright, take it,¡± Master Yun smiled.


    Once Li Yuan stowed the Starry Sky Extreme Cloud Shuttle,


    Master Yun waved his hand again, and a streak of light flew from the depths of the Divine Artifact Chamber¡ªit was surprisingly a divine spear, cast like ancient bronze, exuding an ancient aura. The spear faintly bore mottled traces, seemingly from countless battles it had experienced.


    ¡°This Dark Star Divine Spear is a bit cheaper.¡± Master Yun said to Li Yuan, ¡°Only 8 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Its material is special, obtained by the master from the Nine Mountains World, exceedingly sharp, it should be one of the top Pseudo-God Artifacts¡­ However, its fatal flaw is the lack of inherent origin.¡± Master Yun explained, ¡°That¡¯s also why its price is set at 8 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    The might of a divine artifact is so great precisely because it possesses an inherent origin, which contains corresponding Laws and Mysteries and even encompasses complete Law applications.


    Only in this way, when a powerhouse acquires a divine artifact and drives its inherent origin, can they unleash much more formidable strength than usual, and the Origin Power consumed is also much less.


    If a divine artifact lacks an inherent origin, then the so-called divine artifact is just an empty shell,


    Like a normal top-grade virtual divine artifact, even a very common Divine Spear should be worth hundreds of Fangshen Crystals. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°If you use it, its might will not be stronger than your current long spear,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°It might even be weaker.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Lacking an inherent origin?


    It was precisely because this ¡®Dark Star Divine Spear¡¯ lacked an inherent origin and had no attributes, being akin to an empty shell, a blank slate, that he wanted to acquire it.


    ¡°Alright, since you desire it so much,¡± Master Yun smiled. ¡°Then this Dark Star Divine Spear will be gifted to you.¡±


    ¡°Gifted?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°This divine spear, kept here, I¡¯m afraid no demigod would exchange for it. It would only gather dust. In your hands, it can unleash its might,¡± Master Yun explained. ¡°Secondly, you should understand that Seven Stars Points, essentially, are the master establishing a currency based on his personal strength as credibility for the treasures he owns.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded uncontrollably.


    Seven Stars Points are essentially worthless; the valuable things are the numerous treasures in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    ¡°The master will eventually leave,¡± Master Yun sighed, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°The entire civilization needs you and Fang Hai to support it, and you¡¯ll also control the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ In short, once you become a demigod, Seven Stars Points will be meaningless to you.¡±


    ¡°Whether Seven Stars Points will still be useful by then depends on you and Fang Hai,¡± Master Yun said.


    Li Yuan was enlightened.


    In the past, Seven Stars Points were established relying on Dongfang Ji¡­ but in the future, it would depend on himself and the principal.


    ¡°When you become a demigod, I will explain in detail to you.¡±


    ¡°Then, all the treasures in the treasury that are beneficial for your cultivation, you can take,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°But similarly, during your adventures outside, if there are some treasures you don¡¯t need, I hope you will also place them into the treasury.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Master Yun, rest assured, I will do my best.¡±


    Master Yun nodded, he had been quietly observing Li Yuan, and he was extremely satisfied with Li Yuan¡¯s actions.


    ¡°But for now, I still don¡¯t control the Seven Stars Treasury, so let¡¯s still follow the rules,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Whatever amount of Seven Stars Points should be deducted, just deduct.¡±


    ¡°Also, I want to purchase some treasures from the treasury,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°It can¡¯t all just be you giving them to me.¡±


    Master Yun paused, then smiled, ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡­


    Having collected both divine artifacts.

 Chapter 682 - 368: Harvest_2

    Chapter 682: Chapter 368: Harvest_2


    ¡°Li Yuan, aren¡¯t you looking to secure identities for your Spirit Beast and that Semi-Divine servant?¡± Cloud Elder said, ¡°These are two tokens I have prepared for you.¡±


    Sigh! With a wave of Cloud Elder¡¯s hand, two purple crystal stones, exuding a strange glow, fell from the void.


    ¡°These crystal stones harbor many functions.¡±


    ¡°After they refine them, they will be akin to becoming ¡®Semi-Divine Guest Elders¡¯ of my Seven Star Civilization,¡± Cloud Elder said. ¡°They will enjoy the same treatment as Second-Class Star Masters within the civilization, and they can also exchange for treasures in the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, through these crystal stones, they can also log in to the virtual network and so on, and have the authority to enter some important places¡­¡± Cloud Elder quickly explained.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod his head; it all sounded pretty good.


    ...


    ¡°Thank you for your trouble, Cloud Elder.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, waving his hand as he took the two purple crystal stones.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, Li Yuan arrived at some ¡®treasure transfer locations¡¯ not far from the headquarters of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    The place was very open, with many flying machines parked.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Star Master.¡± A middle-aged man with a beard was already waiting there, respectfully said, ¡°I am Kadrov, ordered to wait for you here. This is the Fourth Rank Battleship that belongs to you, freshly delivered.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan followed the direction he pointed.


    On the open ground sat an immensely large saucer-shaped warship, the diameter of which exceeded one hundred meters, and the height was also over thirty meters¡ªa truly monstrous size.


    The outer layer of the warship had a stunning streamlined beauty.


    Beautiful!


    Looking at this warship, Li Yuan felt that it was more beautiful than many Fourth Rank Battleships he had seen in various Star Realms.


    ¡°Is this the battleship assigned to me by the alliance?¡± Li Yuan asked with interest.


    As the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star and the Blue Star Leader, he had not only many special privileges but also many rights.


    Being equipped with an exclusive warship was one of them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Star Master, there are many types of Fourth Rank Battleships,¡± Kadrov introduced. ¡°Those arranged in Second Level Star Realms, Third Level Star Realms are mostly the cheapest, with most of the energy supplied to the main cannon¡­ As a result, the flexibility and Defense of the warship itself are greatly compromised.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded knowingly, as in the Star Realms, Fourth Rank Warships were mainly used to combat Alien Race Flying Heaven, so the functionality of the main cannon was naturally very important.


    ¡°But your warship seat has eliminated the main cannon.¡±


    ¡°After all, your individual strength far exceeds the might of the main cannon itself,¡± Kadrov said. ¡°It focuses more on your safety and cultivation attributes.¡±


    ¡°Its surface is reinforced with many special alloys, and without the main cannon and other such elements, the overall Defense is greatly enhanced¡ªeven a Semi-Divine would need to attack many times to breach this warship,¡± Kadrov said. ¡°Its power is also very potent, with a flight speed far exceeding a normal Fourth Rank Battleship. Inside a planet, its maximum flight speed can reach 10 kilometers per second.¡±


    ¡°Also, its interior boasts an armory, Quiet Chamber¡­ allowing you to cultivate in peace on board the warship for extended periods.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart, however, was calm.


    10 kilometers per second? He himself could reach that speed in flight.


    For other Semi-Divines, a top-tier Fourth Rank Battleship like this was very useful, serving as a sanctuary for undisturbed cultivation, with a flight speed faster than one¡¯s own.


    As such, its exchange price in the Seven Stars Treasury was 1 million Seven Stars Points.


    Almost on par with a Divine Artifact.


    But for Li Yuan?


    ¡°If I need to travel, I can use the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, and if I need to cultivate in seclusion, the Ancient Divine Palace is safer,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°The biggest use of this warship¡­ is as a symbol of status.¡±


    Li Yuan remembered that the principal also had such a warship, perpetually floating above Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°When serving as the principal.¡±


    ¡°Naturally, you need to make it so that students can¡¯t find the principal¡¯s office.¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of an inexplicable smile.


    Soon after.


    With Kadrov¡¯s introduction, Li Yuan step by step took control of the warship and set up the binding system functions. The warship was mostly automated¡­ it had a very high level of internal intelligence, including an auxiliary intelligence system.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Star Master, now you can operate the warship,¡± Kadrov said with a glint of envy in his eyes. ¡°I will head down now.¡±


    As a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, he was very aware that he would never afford such a warship in his lifetime.


    Keep in mind, many Demigods, if they accumulated less wealth, would hesitate to make such a purchase.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan watched as the man left and the warship¡¯s hatch slowly closed, falling completely silent.


    ¡°Xiao Yu,¡± Li Yuan called out.


    ¡°Welcome, Master. Xiao Yu is at your service,¡± a crisp voice rang out.


    Rustle~ A flurry of light and shadows converged, forming a silhouette of a young girl beside him.


    This had become a habit for Li Yuan to name.


    ¡°Authorization, log in to the virtual network,¡± Li Yuan ordered, ¡°then set off for the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    Before returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan wanted to visit the Martial Divine Star Realm once more.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the girl said respectfully.


    The entire map of the Seven Star Civilization, including the ¡®interstellar routes¡¯ between different planets, had already been compiled into the warship¡¯s ¡®database¡¯, ensuring that once Li Yuan issued a command, the AI could directly set course for the destination.


    At the same time, the warship¡¯s AI possessed high authority, able to constantly update the database through the network.


    Hum~


    The warship on the runway swiftly ascended and then vanished between heaven and earth, a scene that caught the attention of many.


    Those who could be here were not ordinary; they recognized the difference a Fourth Rank Battleship made.


    Such a Fourth Rank Battleship, in the entirety of the Seven Star Civilization, was rarely seen.


    ¡°It must be a Semi-Divine¡¯s warship, I presume.¡±


    ¡°This kind of warship, I¡¯ve heard the price is astonishingly high, even the entire wealth of a Flying Heaven Star Lord couldn¡¯t buy a single room on that ship.¡±


    ¡­ S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The battleship activated its ¡®invisibility¡¯ mode, speeding ahead high above Feixing.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber, a huge light screen emerged.


    ¡°As a First Rank Star Master,¡±


    ¡°Do I have the authority to know the approximate locations of other Semi-Divines within the civilization?¡± Li Yuan browsed through the many responsibilities and authorities of a ¡®First Rank Star Master¡¯ and ¡®Grand Hall Master of Blue Star¡¯.


    These were just passed to him by San Ye Semi-Divine.


    So-called Grand Hall Master of Blue Star was in fact a dual identity; the first identity was that of ¡®Grand Hall Master¡¯ of the Starfire Blue Star division, managing Blue Star¡¯s Starfire Martial Hall.


    The other identity was that of the ¡®Blue Star Leader¡¯.


    ¡°Starfire Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°although they seem to be three separate Martial Halls, at the highest level, the distinction is not significant.¡±


    Li Yuan also understood the intentions of the Alliance Hierarch and Lant Semi-Divine.


    In this way, lower and middle ranks were encouraged to compete with each other, including the division of the alliance into so many nations, for the same reason¡­ When one reached the highest level, it would become clear that everything belonged to the ¡®Seven Stars Council¡¯.


    It was the Semi-Divines who secretly guided everything.


    ¡°A Semi-Divine, with just a thought, could destroy a super metropolis,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°This is the strongest military force in the entire civilization, naturally wielding the utmost power.¡±


    ¡°The Blue Star Leader is the chief of the entire Blue Star, normally selected from among the Hall Masters of the three great Martial Halls.¡±


    ¡°One out of three,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°During the years when the Principal was away, was it Bai Shan Semi-Divine who temporarily managed Blue Star¡¯s affairs for the Starfire Martial Hall, and was Soylo Semi-Divine from Black Stone Martial Hall who temporarily assumed the role of Blue Star Leader?¡±


    Soylo Semi-Divine, one of the seven Semi-Divines stationed on Blue Star, was also one of the two only Semi-Divine Middle Rank experts.


    This time, with Li Yuan taking over, it also meant that Soylo Semi-Divine¡¯s position was being revoked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait until returning to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan thought and directly closed the light screen in front of him.


    Immediately after, he turned off all recording functions in the Quiet Chamber.


    Shortly thereafter,


    Whoosh! Whoosh! In succession, two Phantoms appeared, one clad in white, the other a hulking figure with a single horn.


    ¡°Sister, Elder Qiu.¡±


    Li Yuan greeted with a smile, ¡°The ¡®Dark Star Divine Spear¡¯ you asked me to exchange for last time, I¡¯ve obtained it.¡±


    That¡¯s right.


    The exchange for the Dark Star Divine Spear was not Li Yuan¡¯s idea, but rather the advice of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun.


    With a flip of his palm, in front of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, the ancient Divine Spear appeared.


    ¡°Excellent spear,¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°I judged correctly, this Divine Artifact, if Gu You and I were to refine it anew, it would certainly be a top-quality Pseudo-God Artifact¡­ It will be sufficient for your use for a long time.¡±

 Chapter 683 - 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star

    Chapter 683: Chapter 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star


    ¡°I must trouble Senior Qiu then,¡± said Li Yuan.


    After such a long time, Gu You and Qiu Bingzun had been in secret contact with each other, becoming quite familiar.


    Because of Li Yuan¡¯s relationship with Liu Bing, it made both of them shift from initial mutual wariness to gradually trusting each other.


    At the very least, they were now willing to cooperate.


    To help Li Yuan refine the most fitting ¡®Pseudo-God Long Spear¡¯ was a joint decision made by Gu You and Qiu Bingzun after their secret discussions.


    ¡°A small matter, just refining a Pseudo-God artifact,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°Back in the day, I refined quite a few True God instruments.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan listened, within the legacy left by Qiu Bingzun, there indeed were methods of artifact refinement, quite exquisite. It was just a pity that he was not interested in this path.


    The Divine Realm is vast and boundless, whether it¡¯s artifact refining, alchemy, breeding spirit beasts, or studying Origin Power technology schools, they are all incredibly prosperous.


    ¡°Elder Qiu, if you are so capable, why don¡¯t you do the refining?¡± Gu You said with a smirk on her face.


    ¡°Haha,¡± Qiu Bingzun chuckled, ¡°Spare me, I only have this remnant soul left, I have the heart but lack the strength. I can only offer you advice, the main force in the actual refining still depends on you Gu You.¡±


    Gu You no longer spoke.


    Li Yuan, watching Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly.


    The Ancient Divine Palace seemed to be just a Sixth Rank Cave Heaven Treasure.


    The Ancient Torch Divine seemed to be slightly inferior to Qiu Bingzun.


    But some secrets revealed by the Ancient Divine Palace, especially that Gu You, who was honored as ¡®War God¡¯ by those Golden Armored Warriors, now seemed to imply, according to Qiu Bingzun, that Gu You should have the capability to refine a Pseudo-God artifact.


    Refining a divine artifact is very difficult, usually only True Gods can refine Pseudo-God artifacts more easily.


    Or some Pseudo-God powerhouses who are extremely skilled at artifact refining can make Pseudo-God artifacts.


    Civilizations like Seven Star Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization seemed to have numerous divine artifacts, but that is because both civilizations have extremely strong foundations.


    In the Divine Realm, divine artifacts have clear prices, because there are many powerhouses capable of refining them.


    But for some weaker civilizations, like the Cloud Beast Civilization, even the most ordinary Pseudo-God artifact valued at twelve to twenty Yuan has no means of exchange.


    Therefore, any divine artifact can become the tribe¡¯s treasure.


    Various signs all suggest that there¡¯s something extraordinary about the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity, Gu You never talks much,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself. ¡°I must become a Pseudo-God, pass the fifth trial left by the Ancient Torch Divine to be able to access the ultimate secret.¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Senior Qiu, stop arguing with Senior Gu You,¡± Liu Bing popped out of Li Yuan¡¯s sleeve, chuckling, ¡°You both are helping big brother¡­ big brother is the combination of Earth, Wind and the mysteries of the Laws, and is also contemplating the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯. It¡¯s difficult to find a fitting weapon, neither of your armories have a particularly suitable Pseudo-God artifact.¡±


    ¡°To refine a Pseudo-God artifact that fits big brother, you¡¯ll need to work together,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice was pleasant.


    ¡°Mm, cooperation,¡± Gu You spoke indifferently. ¡°Elder Qiu, you shall guide me, and we will strive to refine a perfectly fitting Pseudo-God artifact for Li Yuan.¡± S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The combined mysteries of two great Laws, it¡¯s indeed not easy to find a suitable weapon,¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded. ¡°Luckily, this Dark Star Divine Spear has an excellent foundation. We just need some minor adjustments and rebuild the Origin, not having to start from scratch.¡±


    Most divine artifacts are of a single Origin, which makes them the easiest to refine.


    If one wants to contain different Mysteries of the Law and perfectly integrate them? That¡¯s extremely difficult.


    Even with Qiu Bingzun and Gu You joining hands, it would be difficult to refine a perfectly fitting Pseudo-God artifact for Li Yuan out of nothing.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Re-refining the Dark Star Divine Spear won¡¯t consume too many treasures, so you need not contribute.¡±


    ¡°But it will take a long time, probably two or three years, so you¡¯ll need to be patient,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°Fine, no rush,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s knowledge, it was quite normal for deities to spend decades or even centuries refining divine artifacts.


    Merely three years was already short.


    Afterward.


    Gu You put away the Dark Star Divine Spear, and both her and Qiu Bingzun¡¯s Phantoms disappeared.


    ¡°Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing, who was wrapping around his arm, and with a flip of his hand, he took out the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    ¡°Do you think this artifact is of any help to you?¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Recently, in the Divine Artifact Chamber, Liu Bing had not come out because she did not recognize this artifact.


    ¡°This artifact?¡± Liu Bing stared at the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, sensing it carefully for a long while before speaking, ¡°Big brother, this Pseudo-God artifact should be extremely good with speed. If given to me, it would be suitable¡­ but I have something more fitting.¡±


    ¡°My wings, apart from the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Sky-Cleaving Wings,¡¯ also have a set of very powerful Magical Treasure wings,¡± Liu Bing smiled, ¡°Though also just a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact, they perfectly fit me, something this Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle cannot match.¡±


    ¡°It is, however, quite suitable for you, big brother,¡± Liu Bing said. ¡°After all, I can¡¯t guarantee to always be by big brother¡¯s side.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Like himself and Liu Bing, they both relied on the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, making their Origin Power reach Demigod levels¡­only then could they activate a Pseudo-God Artifact.


    Normally, a Flying Heaven Warrior could at most use a Semi Divine Artifact.


    A Demigod could at most use a Pseudo-God Artifact.


    There were likely True God Instruments left in the hands of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, but Li Yuan and Liu Bing could not use them.


    This was also the reason why Gu You and Qiu Bingzun had decided to refine a Divine Spear artifact for Li Yuan¡­Their Divine Artifact Chamber did not have a Pseudo-God Long Spear that was so suitable for Li Yuan.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite normal for Sister Gu You to help me,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself. ¡°But for Senior Qiu to take the initiative¡­probably signifies he values me more.¡±


    Sigh.


    ¡°With the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle,¡± Li Yuan thought, and his body immediately grew large. He was already executing the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± starting to truly refine this Pseudo-God artifact.

    Chapter 684: Chapter 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star_2


    Time had passed.


    ¡°Originally, this divine artifact contains a set of escape skill inheritance ¡®Extreme Void,¡¯ which can only be truly comprehended through the Wind Law,¡± Li Yuan understood the true nature of the divine artifact.


    To cultivate this escape skill and control this divine artifact was to unleash its maximum might.


    ¡°This is the method to control the divine artifact.¡±


    ¡°Similarly, through the mystery of the origin of the divine artifact, it can also assist me in comprehending the Wind Law,¡± Li Yuan realized, grasping the essential difference between divine artifacts and semi-divine artifacts.


    The origin of divine artifacts could guide cultivators in their cultivation, acting as an alternative form of inheritance guidance.


    ...


    ¡­


    The Martial Divine Star Realm and its only entrance from the outside world had a massive war base.


    Here, Flying Heaven Warriors along with many common Martial Artists were stationed, mainly in charge of managing resources.


    Secondly, they checked incoming and outgoing personnel to prevent espionage.


    Especially recently, with Duanmu Hong and other strong Flying Heaven Warriors being sent to Lantie Star¡­ the inspections across the entire Martial Divine Star Realm had become stricter.


    After all, the Martial Divine Star Realm was inhabited by top-tier geniuses assembled from within the civilization; a surprise attack by the Alien Race wiping out most of them would be an immense loss.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! A massive warship, appearing abruptly from the void, drastically slowed down and entered the star realm passage radiating with colorful streamers without any inspection.


    ¡°No inspection.¡±


    ¡°No inspection.¡±


    ¡°Whose warship is this? Entering the Martial Divine Star Realm without inspection?¡± dozens of staff at the war base, including two Flying Heaven Warriors, were utterly astonished.


    They knew well that even the Flying Heaven Star Lord, for the most part, didn¡¯t have the privilege to enter the Martial Divine Star Realm directly.


    Moreover, when they attempted to inquire about who it was, the higher authorities responded with ¡°no authority to know.¡±


    This was enough to signify the owner of the warship¡¯s exalted status, definitely one of the core figures in the entire civilization.


    ¡­


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The warship directly entered the star realm through the passage and was immediately monitored by the stationed troops at the other end.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Fourth Rank Battleship.¡±


    ¡°And it¡¯s the top of its class.¡±


    ¡°Target warship, please dock at berth D-3567¡­¡± The Prime Warrior in charge immediately sent the message from the tower.


    But soon after. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Buzz~ The hundred-meter-long flying saucer-like warship swept across a stream of light and rapidly flew towards Seven Star Mountain at the edge of the sky.


    Simultaneously.


    On the tower screen, a corresponding notification appeared ¡ª ¡°Target warship has the highest authority in the Martial Divine Star Realm, not subject to jurisdiction.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Not subject to jurisdiction?¡± The group of Prime Warriors in the tower was astonished.


    It was already exceedingly rare for a warship to fly directly into the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    According to the rules, even Fang Hai, who had Second Class Star Lord authority, had to stop in the designated ¡®aircraft docking area¡¯ after bringing Li Yuan to the Martial Divine Star Realm in previous years.


    Not subject to jurisdiction? Who exactly could this person be?


    ¡°Could it perhaps be the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s warship?¡± A Prime Warrior couldn¡¯t help but speculate.


    Indeed, it was too mysterious.


    ¡­


    Beneath Seven Star Mountain, in front of the only tavern in the Martial Divine Star Realm, dozens of people had already gathered.


    ¡°Dantai Feng, is Li Yuan really coming back today?¡±


    ¡°I saw the news and internal bulletins; the conflict on Lantie Star hasn¡¯t entirely concluded yet, has it?¡±


    ¡°Why would I lie to you?¡± Dantai Feng shook his head: ¡°It was Li Yuan who asked me to notify everyone; it¡¯s probably his last time coming back, so according to old customs of the Martial Divine Star Realm, he wanted to host a farewell banquet for everyone.¡±


    In Seven Star Mountain, in terms of relationships, Dantai Feng and Li Yuan were among the closest friends.


    Members of the Martial Divine Hall had an unwritten custom; once anyone broke through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, they would hold a banquet before leaving to invite many friends as part of the farewell and celebration.


    After all, members of the Martial Divine Hall came from various major planets; once becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, they usually return to their homelands to assume various duties per the alliance¡¯s orders, making future gatherings difficult.


    ¡°Right, Li Yuan has indeed become a Flying Heaven Warrior and must leave the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is incredible; he even managed to kill a Demigod. I wonder what position the alliance will arrange for him, probably to guard the entryways of some Third Level Star Realms,¡± many discussed.


    Although Li Yuan didn¡¯t interact much with other members, after spending over eight years in the Martial Divine Star Realm, he naturally had some friends.


    ¡°Dantai, when did Li Yuan send you the message?¡± Jin Huguo couldn¡¯t resist asking.


    ¡°Four hours ago,¡± Dantai Feng replied: ¡°He said he just came back from Lantie Star, and asked us to come to the tavern around this time.¡±


    ¡°Four hours?¡±


    ¡°Just returning from the Six Star Realm by a Fourth Rank Battleship should take more than four hours.¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, Li Yuan still has to report back at the Martial Hall Headquarters,¡± the members of Seven Star Mountain, having considerable insight, were well aware of certain procedures.


    ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s wait a bit longer then.¡± Dantai Feng smiled: ¡°I know ¡®Captain Wang¡¯ who¡¯s stationed at the warship docking area; he¡¯s keeping an eye out for me, and if Li Yuan returns, he will notify me immediately.¡±


    As everyone was chatting.


    Suddenly¡ª


    ¡°Hmm? Do you see that in the sky?¡±


    ¡°What a beautiful warship!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Fourth Rank Battleship, but how could a Fourth Rank be allowed here? Could it be an enemy?¡± Many members of Seven Star Mountain quickly spotted the massive warship plunging down from the sky.


    For many like Alicia and other True Intent Prime Warriors, a hint of vigilance arose in their hearts.


    They all knew the rules of the Star Realm; even a Fourth Rank Battleship of a Demigod couldn¡¯t directly fly here.


    However, their smart rings hadn¡¯t yet received any invasion alerts.


    ¡°This warship, it¡¯s different from the Fourth Rank Warships I saw during battles in the Star Realm,¡± Alicia said softly.


    Among them, many were Flying Heaven Level Souls, but they still couldn¡¯t sense the interior scene of the warship.

 Chapter 685 - 369: Status! Return to Blue Star_3

    Chapter 685: Chapter 369: Status! Return to Blue Star_3


    Finally.


    The warship descended to about a hundred meters above the ground, hovering over the restaurant. Its hundred-meter-long body gave the group of Seven Star Mountain members below a profound sense of pressure.


    Whoosh! The cabin door opened, and a figure in black flew out, rapidly descending in front of everyone.


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Is that Li Yuan on the warship?¡±


    ¡°Does the warship belong to Li Yuan, or did it bring Li Yuan back?¡± Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, and others were momentarily stunned.


    ...


    If you were to say that Li Yuan had a Fourth Rank Battleship, they wouldn¡¯t be surprised, after all, Semi-Divine experts typically have Fourth Rank battleship mounts.


    But having a Fourth Rank battleship and being able to bring it down to Seven Star Mountain are two different things.


    The former only required wealth, while the latter was a matter of authority.


    In an instant, the Seven Star Mountain members present realized that Li Yuan¡¯s position and authority within the entire civilization had likely reached a level they could scarcely imagine.


    ¡°Dantai, Senior Brother Jin¡­¡± Li Yuan greeted them with a smile, ¡°You all came?¡±


    ¡°Except for Bertman and a few others who went to venture into the Star Realm, most people have arrived,¡± Dantai Feng replied promptly, then curiously asked, ¡°Li Yuan, is this your warship?¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, without concealing anything.


    ¡°My friends, I¡¯ve broken through to the Flying Heaven level. According to the rules of Martial Divine Mountain, this should be my last visit,¡± Li Yuan said to his friends, ¡°Before I leave, I thought it¡¯d be nice to have a gathering.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°A last meal on Li Yuan¡¯s tab.¡±


    ¡°Time really flies,¡± the crowd said, gathering around Li Yuan as they entered the restaurant.


    ¡­


    The banquet lasted for quite some time.


    ¡°Li Yuan, where are you going to be stationed next?¡± Dantai Feng asked curiously, ¡°With your Semi-Divine strength, will you be in Feixing or returning to Blue Star?¡±


    Everyone curiously looked towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Returning to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, ¡°The orders have been issued. This time, when I return to Blue Star, I will serve as the Grand Hall Master of Starfire Blue Star, and I should also take on the role of Blue Star Leader.¡±


    The people here, who would all be Flying Heaven Warriors in the future and a part of the alliance¡¯s upper echelon, usually had broad channels of information. Even if he didn¡¯t say it himself, the news would quickly spread once the enthronement ceremony was held.


    After all, these positions might be mysterious to common folk, but they¡¯re quite ordinary for Flying Heaven Warriors and above.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master of Blue Star?¡±


    ¡°Blue Star Leader?¡± The surrounding members of the Seven Star Mountain were dumbfounded; they knew Li Yuan was powerful, but they hadn¡¯t expected such a meteoric rise.


    Blue Star Leader was effectively the supreme leader of Blue Star!


    From a member of Seven Star Mountain to becoming Blue Star Leader? This was undoubtedly the first such instance in the history of Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Blue Star Leader?¡±


    ¡°Does that mean my grandfather will be working under you?¡± Dantai Feng muttered.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and the news of Li Yuan¡¯s new position as Blue Star Leader quickly spread throughout the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Atop Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Lanyue, I¡¯ll be returning to Blue Star first this time,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, looking at a woman dressed in red.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded, aware of the responsibilities Li Yuan now shouldered, ¡°I will aim to reach the goal of the Boundary Spirit of World within Worlds. When I break through to the Flying Heaven level, I¡¯ll return to Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Mm, there¡¯s no rush; the Prime Warrior stage is about laying the foundation. Try to awaken the Six Star Pulse as much as possible,¡± Li Yuan said. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I will.¡±


    ¡­


    Saying farewell to his many Seven Star Mountain friends, Li Yuan stood in the void, overlooking the vast land below.


    From now on, it would be very difficult to return to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    From the day he left Blue Star to arrive at the Martial Divine Star Realm, until now, truly leaving¡ªit had been eight years.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go back to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with a light, ¡°From now on, I will be the one to protect Blue Star.¡±


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan entered the warship, and the battleship quickly left the Martial Divine Star Realm, then headed towards the Third Star Realm.


    Without a doubt, the legend Li Yuan left in Seven Star Mountain would be passed down for many years, influencing and inspiring generation after generation of young martial artists.


    ¡­


    In Blue Star Xia Country, at Kunlun Martial University, ten o¡¯clock in the morning.


    Deep within the villa area belonging to the Sixth Institute, where mostly teachers and their families lived, a beautiful lake basked in the winter sun, warmly shining on the people.


    Several people were leisurely fishing in chairs.


    Plop~


    A bobber on the surface of the lake twitched, and one of the fishermen immediately grabbed the rod and with a swift motion, a big fish was netted.


    ¡°Old Li, you¡¯re in luck today,¡± said a handsome young man in a coat, glancing ruefully at his own fishing rod which hadn¡¯t moved all morning.


    ¡°Haha, the luck¡¯s not bad today,¡± replied Li Changzhou, sitting nearby.


    Nowadays, Li Changzhou¡¯s demeanor had clearly changed from the past, and he exuded a noble air, completely unrecognizable as someone who once skirted the edge of life and death.


    Even when fishing with Dean Hai, he was still composed.


    ¡°You still regularly attend the martial arts classes at the school,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t slack off. You might become a Flying Heaven Warrior, and then we could fish together for life.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warrior? That¡¯s a long way off,¡± Li Changzhou reflected.


    A few years ago, when Li Yuan¡¯s identity was fully exposed, he and his wife Chen Hui moved to Kunlun Martial University.


    The protection here was extremely strong, not only with Origin Power Arrays but also guarded by a group of Flying Heaven Warriors, which even peak level experts would find hard to penetrate.


    At the same time, over the years, he had picked up the dream of becoming a martial artist again, and he had recently broken through to the Fourth Level, successfully becoming a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°It might be difficult for others, but you have a chance,¡± Dean Hai chuckled, ¡°Li Yuan has slain a Demigod, indicating that his power has reached the Semi-Divine Level¡­ with his help, there¡¯s hope you can reach Flying Heaven too.¡±


    ¡°You also have some talent in the Martial Path.¡±


    ¡°The close relatives of a Demigod, if they have some talent, most of them can reach the Flying Heaven Realm,¡± Dean Hai said matter-of-factly.

 Chapter 686 - 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star_4

    Chapter 686: Chapter 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star_4


    Demigods, even when they exhausted all their strength, found it difficult to cultivate another demigod.


    But if they just wanted to cultivate a Flying Heaven Warrior, the difficulty was very low.


    After all, the exotic treasures in the eyes of Prime Warriors were things that demigods could easily obtain.


    ¡°I won¡¯t insist,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°He has spent quite a lot of resources helping his aunt, but now he is only level 19.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, Little Chen is also doing quite good work in the logistics department,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh.


    ¡°You always have to do something, I fish while I cultivate Martial Path,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°She¡¯s also level 19, full of energy; if she were to completely idle, that wouldn¡¯t be good either.¡±


    ...


    The two chatted leisurely.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes narrowed as he looked up at the sky, revealing a hint of surprise, ¡°A warship? Where did this Fourth Rank Battleship come from?¡±


    ¡°What warship?¡± Li Changzhou asked, puzzled.


    A Fourth Rank Battleship has the capability for invisibility, once activated ordinary people simply cannot see it, but for Dean Hai who had True Intent Comprehension¡­ at such a close distance, that kind of invisibility was essentially nonexistent.


    ¡°How come it feels just like Old Fang¡¯s warship? Could it be the new principal?¡± Dean Hai stared at the sky, muttering to himself in his heart.


    For the past two years, Kunlun Martial University had not appointed a principal.


    Suddenly¡ª


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s pupils contracted as he saw, several kilometers away in the void, the warship¡¯s cabin door suddenly open.


    Immediately following, a figure flashed at the cabin door, and in an instant, rushed to his front, almost startling Dean Hai into jumping.


    But when he truly sensed the soul¡¯s presence of the comer, Dean Hai¡¯s alertness turned to surprise, ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Li Changzhou also put down his fishing rod with surprise and looked towards the black-robed youth standing not far away, somewhat in disbelief. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was his beloved nephew!


    ¡°Dean Hai, Uncle,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, after returning from Feixing, he boarded the warship without stopping and came straight back to Kunlun Martial University where his aunt and uncle were.


    For Li Yuan,


    serving as Blue Star Leader was a duty, but being able to gather with family was the most important thing.


    ¡°When did you come back?¡± Li Changzhou couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°This morning we were watching the news; the conflicts on Lantie Star seemed to still be unresolved.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s basically over,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°The various support teams are withdrawing in an orderly manner, I just came back from Lantie Star today.¡±


    Li Changzhou nodded in realization.


    ¡°Dean Hai, thanks for all your help these past years,¡± Li Yuan said, looking at Dean Hai.


    ¡°Ha ha, don¡¯t speak like that, your aunt and uncle are both very nice, I should be thanking your uncle for keeping me company while fishing,¡± Dean Hai laughed, ¡°Are you back this time specially, or are you going back to serve on Blue Star?¡±


    Dean Hai was quite pleased in his heart.


    Given Li Yuan¡¯s strength and position, the fact that he still addressed him in the same manner as always was enough to make him happy.


    ¡°I¡¯m going back to serve on Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh, ¡°I was worried you¡¯d stay on Feixing for a long term¡­ You¡¯ve finally come back, go home first.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll come to visit you again soon, Dean Hai,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Then,


    Li Yuan and Li Changzhou flew towards their residence at Kunlun Martial University, with Li Changzhou already contacting Chen Hui to come home.


    Watching the uncle and nephew pair depart,


    ¡°Returning to serve on Blue Star? It¡¯s said that Li Yuan has even successfully slain a demigod,¡± Dean Hai thought to himself, ¡°On returning to Blue Star, what position will he take on? It should be a position at Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Or will he go to guard the Wanhan Star Realm?¡±


    There was a short amount of time; the latest news about Li Yuan hadn¡¯t reached Blue Star yet, so naturally, Dean Hai wasn¡¯t clear about it.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Dean Hai looked down at his smart wristband, where several messages appeared.


    They were all from his current superior ¡®Star Master Yue Hui,¡¯ a very powerful Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Hai Yi, on behalf of¡­ I formally inform you that from today onwards, you will no longer serve as the Dean of the Sixth Institute of Kunlun Martial University, having been promoted to Executive Vice President of Kunlun Martial University. If you are willing, please enter the virtual network and sign the contract as soon as possible.¡± The message was simple, yet the content was rich.


    ¡°Executive Vice President?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s face lit up with brilliance.

 Chapter 687 - 370: Demigods of Blue Star

    Chapter 687: Chapter 370: Demigods of Blue Star


    Normally, above the Dean, there would be several Vice Chancellors, among whom one would be selected as the Executive Vice Chancellor.


    As far as he knew, the several Vice Chancellors of the university had been competing for this position for several years now.


    How had it suddenly become his turn?


    Dean Hai immediately sent a message to Star Master Yue Hui to find out the reason.


    ¡°The appointment was made today by the newly appointed Blue Star Leader and Starfire Chief Hall Master,¡± Star Master Yue Hui replied directly: ¡°Hai Yi, in fact, given your relationship with Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang, you could have taken on the role of Executive Vice Chancellor years ago.¡±


    Hai Yi knew exactly who the ¡®Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang¡¯ mentioned by Star Master Yue Hui was.


    ...


    Fang Hai!


    That was the Seven Star Chief Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall, now a top three force within the Seven Star Alliance.


    Dean Hai and Fang Hai had once weathered life and death together as a team of Martial Artists, which was the reason for their extremely good relationship.


    But not many people were aware of this connection.


    ¡°Only, at that time, you had just made a breakthrough and were not experienced enough.¡±


    ¡°Now, in terms of strength and experience, there should be no problem with you serving as Vice Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University,¡± conveyed Star Master Yue Hui: ¡°Moreover, if the new Chief Hall Master didn¡¯t appoint you, it would be quite strange.¡±


    Newly appointed Blue Star Leader? Dean Hai was confused.


    That was the top leader of Blue Star, generally taken on by a Semi-Divine, with thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star. What could this possibly have to do with him?


    ¡°Who is the new Blue Star Leader?¡±


    Dean Hai asked, puzzled: ¡°I remember, wasn¡¯t the previous Blue Star Leader also served by Soylo Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Star Master Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s your good student,¡± replied Star Master Yue Hui directly: ¡°I only just received the notification from Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Star Master Li Yuan is one of the stronger ones among the Semi-Divine Intermediate Rank, and should already have been promoted to First Rank Star Master.¡±


    ¡°First Rank Star Master? Li Yuan?¡± Hai Yi was somewhat stunned.


    The newly appointed Blue Star Leader was the just-appeared Li Yuan?


    The appointment for the Executive Vice Chancellor earlier, was it also made by him?


    This! This! sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Fine, old Hai,¡± Star Master Yue Hui sent with a chuckle: ¡°You and Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang have always had a great relationship, and now Chief Hall Master Li is your student¡­ Your lucky break has arrived. From now on, if I ask for your help with some matters, you can¡¯t turn a blind eye, okay?¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Hai Yi responded somewhat randomly, then disconnected the communication; his mind was still a bit clouded.


    He knew Li Yuan was incredibly powerful, even capable of slaying Semi-Divines.


    But there was a difference between slaying a Semi-Divine and taking on the role of Blue Star Leader and becoming a First Rank Star Master.


    ¡°It is said that the Semi-Divines Li Yuan killed were just those who had recently ascended,¡± he thought.


    ¡°Yet he was granted the title of First Rank Star Master.¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean that Li Yuan is now one of the top ten beings in the entire civilization?¡± thought Hai Yi to himself: ¡°Li Yuan is only 27 years old, too.¡±


    Less than thirty, and standing at the pinnacle of civilization?


    ¡°Hmm, I should find time to see Li Yuan again,¡± Hai Yi said: ¡°He is currently gathering with his family, so I¡¯ll wait until the afternoon to go meet him.¡±


    Hai Yi had helped Li Yuan many times before.


    But in his heart, he was well aware that Li Yuan was only his disciple in name, and their emotional bond wasn¡¯t that deep.


    ¡°I can¡¯t be putting on airs as a teacher,¡± Hai Yi thought to himself: ¡°From now on, I need to be even more low-key, and not publicly promote my relationship with Li Yuan.¡±


    He wasn¡¯t in a rush to sign the contract on the virtual network.


    He decided to see Li Yuan again first.


    ¡­


    ¡°This Hai Yi, really has good luck,¡± murmured Star Master Yue Hui, who was thousands of kilometers away: ¡°First Fang Hai, and now Li Yuan, he¡¯s really hit the jackpot.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately.¡±


    ¡°I had the sense to recognize my place when he was under my command for those years, I haven¡¯t offended him,¡± said Star Master Yue Hui to himself.


    He knew that in terms of strength, Hai Yi was not his match.


    But sometimes, it¡¯s about luck¡­ And clearly, Hai Yi¡¯s luck surpassed his own.


    ¡°Maybe in the future, I can also offer guidance to some young geniuses? Make some good karma?¡± Star Master Yue Hui thought to himself.


    ¡­


    Shortly after Hai Yi received the appointment, in a very special space within the Blue Star virtual network.


    From the outside, this entire space appeared to be a huge black stone.


    This place was a mysterious location within the Blue Star virtual network, unknown even to some so-called ¡®administrators¡¯.


    The Black Stone Forbidden Area was the ¡®Supreme Council¡¯ meeting place of Black Stone Martial Hall within the Blue Star virtual network, only accessible to Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Today, within the highest level of the Black Stone Forbidden Area.


    A massive screen emerged.


    Within the screen appeared the figure of Lant Semi-Divine, looking at the other side.


    ¡°Elder Lant,¡± a middle-aged white man with fiery red hair spoke with respect: ¡°I will definitely follow your instructions, set a good example, and fully cooperate with Li Yuan to make a contributions to the defense of Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Please rest assured.¡±


    ¡°However, although Li Yuan is powerful, comparable to me, and his potential for the future is limitless¡­ he is still young. If some things do not adhere to the rules, I will not comply entirely,¡± the middle-aged white man said solemnly: ¡°I will consider the interests of the Martial Hall and even the overall situation of the whole Alliance.¡± ¡°I hope Elder Lant you can understand this point.¡±


    ¡°Soylo,¡± Lant Semi-Divine looked at the middle-aged white man, naturally picking up on the dissatisfaction in his words.


    ¡°I know you¡¯re not pleased.¡±


    ¡°By usual standards, after Bai Shan stepped down, you should have been appointed as Blue Star Leader, your strength and experience were sufficient.¡± Lant Semi-Divine shared: ¡°When Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang stepped down and you served temporarily as Blue Star Leader¡­ and then you had to step down, indeed, it was not very kind.¡±


    ¡°But, this is the arrangement of the Chief Alliance Leader, and you must comply,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said to the white middle-aged man.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine nodded. He seemed not to oppose it but did not state anything further.


    Lant Semi-Divine sighed inwardly, knowing the other harbored resentment.


    Anyone who experienced such a thing would feel resentful.


    But nobody could defy Dongfang Ji¡¯s orders¡ªeven he couldn¡¯t.


    Similarly, he couldn¡¯t forcefully command Soylo Semi-Divine, either.


    The other was a Level 44 Semi-Divine, who could possibly break through to Semi-Divine Peak at any time. He was also an important member of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s military strength and had earned considerable merits for the civilization.


    Such a Semi-Divine deserved a certain level of respect.


    ¡°Position is not important; what¡¯s most important is strength,¡± Lant Semi-Divine finally advised. ¡°You are the most likely in our Black Stone Martial Hall to become Semi-Divine Peak. Do not slacken.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± replied Soylo Semi-Divine.


    Then, Lant Semi-Divine terminated the communication.


    Soon.


    Hisss~ Hisss~ In the hall, a vast array of light converged, rapidly forming two figures.


    One was a figure clad in a golden robe, tall and handsome, dazzlingly brilliant.


    The other was a woman dressed in black, surrounded by a hazy glow of fire, appearing quite mysterious.


    ¡°Kuba, Selvie, you two have arrived,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine said softly.


    The three of them.


    Were the Black Stone Martial Hall¡¯s three Semi-Divines in Blue Star, naturally very united.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang and Chief Hall Master are unfair!¡± Kuba Semi-Divine, who shone like the sun, growled, ¡°Big brother, you are clearly the strongest, only one step away from Semi-Divine Peak. Even Bai Shan, if not for the Chief Alliance Leader¡¯s favor in giving him a Divine Artifact, might not be your match¡­ I have no objections about Li Yuan becoming the Starfire Blue Star Main Hall Master, as that¡¯s an internal affair of the Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°But why is he directly getting the position of Blue Star Leader?¡±


    ¡°Directly asking you to resign and then handing it over to him, how does that make any sense?¡± Kuba Semi-Divine said in a low voice.


    ¡°They hoped I would resign, they discussed it with me, and I agreed,¡± replied Soylo Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Would anybody believe that if you said it out loud?¡± Kuba Semi-Divine scoffed. ¡°What merits does he have for Blue Star? In terms of merits, in terms of strength, on what grounds does he surpass you?¡±


    ¡°When they need you, they let you hold multiple positions. But as soon as someone else can take over¡­ they just kick you to the curb. Was this discussed during the Alliance conference? I refuse to accept it!¡±


    ¡°Kuba,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine frowned and said, ¡°In terms of strength, Li Yuan is not inferior to me, and with his potential, he might become Divine in the future¡­ Some things should only be said among us and not out there.¡±


    ¡°Big brother,¡±


    ¡°You consider the bigger picture and are willing to give up the position of Blue Star Leader, but this goes against the rules,¡± Kuba Semi-Divine said coldly. ¡°I will not accept it, even if he Ascends to God.¡±


    ¡°Kuba,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine found it to be a headache.


    Kuba Semi-Divine, having broken through to Semi-Divine Middle Rank not long ago, was powerful but extremely headstrong.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t accept it in your heart, you still have to endure,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine said. ¡°The Semi-Divine conference is coming up soon. Bai Shan and Dantai Fenglie will be attending, and you must not show any of this, understood?¡±


    ¡°Big brother, I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you, but I won¡¯t be attending this Semi-Divine conference,¡± said Kuba Semi-Divine in a deep voice.


    Then,


    Whoosh~ Kuba Semi-Divine¡¯s figure vanished abruptly, clearly cutting off the virtual network connection.


    ¡°This guy,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine sighed, rather helplessly. ¡°Selvie, you will accompany me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to big brother,¡± said the woman in black, nodding. Her temperament was mild; she seldom involved herself in internal affairs of the Martial Hall.


    But the three Semi-Divines of the Black Stone Martial Hall were very united.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine has sent a message.¡±


    ¡°Xia Country time, ten o¡¯clock at night, a Semi-Divine conference will be convened,¡± said Soylo Semi-Divine.


    ¡­


    Kunlun Martial University.


    Inside the villa where Li Changzhou lived, Li Yuan was already gathered with his uncle and aunt for dinner.


    Aunt Chen Hui was extremely happy about Li Yuan¡¯s return, and the family was chatting together.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t accept it in your heart, you still have to endure,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine said. ¡°The Semi-Divine conference is coming up soon. Bai Shan and Dantai Fenglie will be attending, and you must not show any of this, understood?¡±


    ¡°Big brother, I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you, but I won¡¯t be attending this Semi-Divine conference,¡± said Kuba Semi-Divine in a deep voice.

    ¡­

    Aunt Chen Hui was extremely happy about Li Yuan¡¯s return, and the family was chatting together.

    Chapter 688: Chapter 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin


    They say red energy nourishes the body, and indeed, Li Changzhou and Chen Hui had surpassed their physical quality and temperament from ten years ago by far after these years¡­ Yet, even so, they were still astounded by Li Yuan¡¯s achievements nowadays.


    They were quite excited and happy.


    After the meal,


    ¡°Uncle, Aunt,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°from now on, for the next few years, I will probably stay at Kunlun Martial University, acting as the Kunlun Martial University chancellor.¡±


    ¡°Kunlun Martial University chancellor?¡± Li Changzhou and Chen Hui actually found it quite normal.


    Having even been the Blue Star Leader, the position of a university chancellor was comparatively less significant.


    ...


    ¡°This time returning, I have also brought some gifts for you, Uncle and Aunt,¡± Li Yuan said, and with a wave of his hand,


    Whoosh! Two streaks of light flew out, appearing liquid-like before eventually coalescing into two human figures.


    ¡°Master,¡± the two liquid robots said respectfully.


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were dumbfounded, as such robots had not yet appeared on Blue Star.


    ¡°Uncle, these are two liquid robots, each with the strength of a 30th Level Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°I have had them lock onto your scents¡­ From now on, they will only obey your commands, and they will also protect you closely if you leave Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warrior strength?¡± Li Changzhou was astonished, as he himself was a 20th Level Foundation Establishing Warrior and understood the significance of such strength.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, how much did this cost?¡± Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Cost?¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    To him now, money was meaningless. These two Flying Heaven Level robots were exchanged from the Seven Stars Treasury, accessible only to those above Second Class Star Master, with a limited quantity available¡­ One robot cost 20,000 Seven Stars Points.


    The price was even higher than that of a Semi Divine Artifact.


    These robots, even in a Seven Star Civilization, were rare and had many flaws, like possessing only sheer power, far fewer auxiliary abilities than real Flying Heaven Warriors, and requiring Divine Crystals as energy sources¡­ Usually, some demigods would exchange for them, using them to protect their close relatives or some young talents. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Some special important places also had these robots stationed.


    ¡°Aunt, money is now meaningless to me. For these kind of robots, even 500 billion Blue Star Coins, a trillion Blue Star Coins, wouldn¡¯t be enough to purchase them,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Additionally, I have arranged a training plan for you and prepared some cultivation treasures¡­ From now on, these two robots will check on your physical condition daily, then administer the treasures, and ensure you practice.¡±


    ¡°Cultivating Martial Path?¡± Chen Hui shook her head, ¡°Xiao Yuan, becoming a Foundation Establishing Warrior requires Fourth Level skills¡­ My current Physical Quality is Level 19, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no hope, don¡¯t waste resources on me.¡±


    ¡°Aunt.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°if you just put a little effort, I can¡¯t guarantee that you become a Flying Heaven Warrior, but becoming a Foundation Establishing Warrior isn¡¯t difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan had exchanged some treasures from the Seven Stars Treasury intended primarily for enhancing the Soul Realm.


    Once the Soul Realm was enhanced, cultivating Martial Arts Skills would naturally be much easier.


    ¡°For Uncle, becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior is not difficult,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    ¡°But¡­¡± Chen Hui still wanted to say something.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not have any ¡®buts¡¯,¡± Li Changzhou said interruptively with a smile, ¡°Just listen to Xiao Yuan, we¡¯ll do as he arranges and put our best effort into cultivating.¡±


    Chen Hui nodded and didn¡¯t speak further.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, should we tell Muhua and others about your return?¡± Li Changzhou asked.


    Li Changzhou¡¯s mentality shifted rapidly.


    He realized that with Li Yuan¡¯s current status, anything related to him was no small matter.


    In terms of power, Li Yuan was much more influential than some ancient emperors, possessing immense might braced in one individual; Li Changzhou was very perceptive.


    ¡°Ok,¡± Li Yuan thought for a moment, ¡°Muhua and Qian Qian can come over if they find time. I haven¡¯t seen them in a long time.¡±


    ¡°By the way, have Muhua bring his siblings too. I couldn¡¯t attend his wedding, so this time I should prepare gifts for his sisters,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Changzhou said.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze shifted, ¡°Uncle, I need to step out for a moment, Dean Hai has arrived, probably looking for me.¡±


    ¡°Go ahead, you¡¯re busy,¡± Li Changzhou quickly replied.


    Watching Li Yuan leave, the two robots continued to stand beside, heads bowed, not uttering a word.


    ¡°Wife,¡± Li Changzhou whispered, ¡°how he plans for us to cultivate Martial Arts, Xiao Yuan surely has it all arranged; we just follow the plan and diligently cultivate.¡±


    ¡°But I have no talent in Martial Arts,¡± Chen Hui shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I might let down Xiao Yuan¡¯s expectations and waste the treasures¡­ I¡¯m not foolish, to make someone like me a Foundation Establishing Warrior, even becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ I can hardly fathom the value.¡±


    Chen Hui had a strong analytical mind as an academic.


    She quickly grasped Li Yuan¡¯s sacrifice.


    ¡°Different strengths, different values of treasures,¡± Li Changzhou shook his head. ¡°Xiao Yuan, it¡¯s said, can now slay demigods¡­ do you understand what a demigod is? Bai Shan, he is a demigod.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s rumored that Dongfang Ji was also a demigod.¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan? Dongfang Ji?¡± Chen Hui gasped; she was naturally aware of these two individuals.


    ¡°One thing,¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan is most likely the top warrior of the entire civilization now, possibly the current strongest in Blue Star,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°He is our pride, but we also need to work hard and not become his weak point.¡±


    ¡°Weak point?¡± Chen Hui was stunned.


    ¡°Why did we move here from Jiang City?¡± Li Changzhou exclaimed, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because Xiao Yuan¡¯s identity was exposed, we were worried Alien Races might capture us to threaten Xiao Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Now, his strength is greater, and more Alien Races are focusing on him; many Alien Races are far stronger than our Seven Star Civilization.¡±

 Chapter 689 - 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_2

    Chapter 689: Chapter 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_2


    ¡°Yuan highly values relationships.¡±


    ¡°If we were captured by the Alien Race, and then they threatened Yuan to do something, would Yuan refuse?¡± Li Changzhou asked.


    Chen Hui hadn¡¯t considered it that deeply.


    ¡°Yuan has arranged such powerful robots to protect us, is it because he is afraid we might trip outside and get chased by dogs?¡± Li Changzhou shook his head. ¡°Yuan is guarding against the Alien Race.¡±


    ¡°We must also strive hard.¡±


    ¡°If we could become Flying Heaven Warriors ourselves, then, wouldn¡¯t Yuan feel much more relieved? It¡¯s better to be powerful oneself than to rely on others for protection.¡± Li Changzhou looked at his wife with a smile. ¡°Our nephew is destined to become a leader of civilization; we cannot be his burden.¡±


    ...


    Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help nodding; her husband made sense.


    ¡°Moreover.¡±


    ¡°I heard that becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior could let one live for 500 years.¡± Li Changzhou laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t you want that?¡±


    500 years? Chen Hui¡¯s heart stirred.


    Who wouldn¡¯t desire longevity?


    ¡°But becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior is too difficult,¡± Chen Hui sighed. ¡°I see that even the deans of those institutions are just Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed hard,¡± Li Changzhou laughed. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s good to make an effort.¡±


    ¡­


    At Kunlun Martial University, in the space above.


    ¡°Should I address you as Dean or as Grand Hall Master?¡± Hai Yi seemed a bit helpless.


    ¡°Ha ha, Dean, stop joking.¡± Li Yuan laughed. ¡°Even if I ascended to godhood, I would still be the student who was brought up by you, and I should still address you as Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s against the rules,¡± Hai Yi shook his head.


    ¡°If I say it¡¯s within the rules, then it is,¡± Li Yuan smiled; Dean Hai had indeed helped him a lot.


    That affection, Li Yuan naturally remembered.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Hai Yi nodded, not insisting further, but he secretly resolved that in public, he would still address Li Yuan as Grand Hall Master or Commander.


    ¡°Li Yuan, is the appointment I received today issued by you?¡± Hai Yi asked.


    ¡°Yes, I need to ask for your help, Dean,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°I¡¯m technically the Head of Kunlun Martial University, but I¡¯m actually here to protect the Kunlun Star Realm. I don¡¯t really understand the specifics of managing the school.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t assign you just on my personal preference.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve briefly looked through some of the school¡¯s reports from the past few years, and I feel you¡¯ve done a great job, and the Sixth Institute is developing well,¡± Li Yuan spoke. ¡°Your strength is sufficient, and coincidentally the position of Executive Vice Chancellor is vacant¡­ so I appointed you.¡±


    ¡°Actually, I understand that this appointment will cause you some trouble,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°The duties of an Executive Vice Chancellor are even more demanding, as I¡¯m not willing to deal with school affairs.¡±


    Hai Yi suddenly understood.


    Of course, Hai Yi also knew that just having the ability wasn¡¯t enough to earn a promotion¡­ many suitable people were available for many positions.


    Why choose him?


    ¡°Dean,¡± Li Yuan spoke, ¡°you helped me quite a lot back then, and now I¡¯m troubling you to take on the role of Executive Vice Chancellor¡­ I came back in a hurry and didn¡¯t prepare any additional gifts.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan waved his hand, and immediately six weapons and treasures emerged in front of Hai Yi.


    Six artifacts in total.


    ¡°These?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s pupils shrank; he was a Flying Heaven Middle Stage Warrior and could sense that these were all Semi Divine Artifacts.


    Six Semi Divine Artifacts?


    Before Dean Hai could react, he already received a notification¡­ his Seven Stars Treasury account had received a transfer of 30,000 Seven Stars Points.


    From Star Master Li Yuan.


    ¡°This? Li Yuan, this gift is too¡­¡± Dean Hai kept saying; the gift indeed exceeded his capacity.


    Typically, the total wealth and treasures of a normal Flying Heaven Warrior amounted to a few hundred to a few thousand Seven Stars Points. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Typically, only Flying Heaven Peak Warriors had a hope of exceeding ten thousand.


    ¡°Dean, just take it,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°These gifts mean little to me.¡±


    These Semi Divine Artifacts were all gathered by Li Yuan from the thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors he and Liu Bing had defeated.


    They were all Water Attribute.


    ¡­


    In the end, Dean Hai accepted the gift from Li Yuan; he really had no choice, as this gift was indeed important for him.


    Semi Divine Artifacts were enough to significantly enhance his power.


    And the 30,000 Seven Stars Points would allow him to exchange for other treasures, such as Fourth Rank Treasures, possibly advancing his comprehension of True Intent further¡­ A warrior¡¯s strength depended greatly on themselves, but the external environment was equally important.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    The news of Li Yuan becoming ¡®Blue Star Leader¡¯ gradually spread among the upper echelons of the entire Blue Star.


    Simultaneously, many Flying Heaven Warriors all over Blue Star also received the news that the ¡®Blue Star Leader Inauguration Ceremony¡¯ would be held in the virtual network in a half month.


    Such ceremonies were always conducted in the virtual network.


    After all, many demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors had duties, some guarding the entrances and exits of the Star Realms and could not leave lightly¡­ Holding it in the virtual network allowed everyone to gather.


    Night fell gradually.


    In winter, Kunlun Martial University was still quite cold; a giant, invisible warship was floating a kilometer above the school.


    Outside the warship.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the metallic outer shell of the warship, quietly regulating his breath and pondering, feeling the wonderful fluctuations flowing through the world around him.


    ¡°Wind!¡±


    ¡°The melody of the wind.¡± Li Yuan silently sensed, ¡°Ever since I cultivated the ¡®True Meaning of the Heavenly Wind Star Meridian¡¯ to the extreme of the Third Rank, my comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind has indeed accelerated significantly.¡±


    Li Yuan felt quite pleased; his entire being seemed to merge completely with the melody of the wind.


    Ever since that year when he received the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯ body refining from Qiu Bingzun, and practiced the Nine Layers auxiliary body refinement techniques.


    That had greatly advanced Li Yuan¡¯s innate talent in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Phantom Body!¡±


    ¡°Extreme Speed!¡±


    ¡°Pulsation!¡±


    ¡°These are the three major directions of the Wind Law; comprehending any direction to its limit contains infinite mysteries and can achieve great success,¡± Li Yuan realized. ¡°The Thousand Illusions Formation Map contains over a thousand mysterious pulsations, seemingly in the Phantom Body line, but thousands of mysteries perfectly intertwined, unaffected by each other, forming a complete array map.¡±

 Chapter 690 - 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_3

    Chapter 690: Chapter 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_3


    ¡°The ¡®Extreme Void¡¯ secret technique contained within the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle,¡±


    ¡°pursues ultimate speed.¡±


    ¡°¡±The Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± in essence, incorporates the mystery of the Phantom Body,


    making the Spear Technique elusive and unpredictable, ever-changing.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s deeper comprehension and higher realm allowed him to grasp a phrase ¡°Laws inherently unite as one,¡±


    the many directions of a single Law Origin of the Great Dao are, in fact, interrelated,


    ...


    forming an integrated whole.¡±


    ¡°When I contemplate True Intent, I can focus on the mystery of Illusory Body.¡±


    ¡°But to step into the Law Level, I must absorb as many other mysteries of the Wind Vein as possible,


    integrating them.¡± Li Yuan thoughtfully added, ¡°It¡¯s not just beneficial for me to cross the Threshold of the Law.¡±


    ¡°It will also greatly benefit my future control over higher level Mysteries of the Law.¡± Li Yuan gradually clarified the path ahead.


    The transformation from the True Meaning of Earth to the Mystery of the Principle of Earth occurs during combat with a Semi-Divine,


    gaining insights from other Semi-Divine¡¯s techniques, leading to breakthroughs.


    However, epiphanies are fortuitous and can¡¯t be sought after.


    Even with a comprehension as high as Li Yuan¡¯s, genuine epiphanies are few and far between.


    Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough on the Wind Law would clearly be more methodical,


    to achieve the purpose of accumulating and releasing at the right moment.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be much longer.¡±


    ¡°I should be able to cross the Threshold of the Wind Law soon.¡± Li Yuan had a vague sense that he was very close to this level.


    Hu!


    Once again, with a thought, Li Yuan immediately sensed a vast oscillation within Heaven and Earth.


    This oscillation was far more vast, profound, and majestic than the true intent fluctuation of the wind between Heaven and Earth.


    It seemed like the origin of everything.


    The origin of all things.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s strong spirit, he was shaken when he first sensed this vast oscillation.


    ¡°The Earth Origin.¡±


    ¡°The Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao.¡± Li Yuan knew exactly what he had sensed.


    This was one of the origins of the vast Heaven and Earth.


    According to what Li Yuan understood about Divine Realm knowledge, this so-called Heaven and Earth does not refer to this dimensional plane,


    nor the Mortal Domain, not even the Divine Realm¡­ but refers to all known and unknown worlds.


    ¡°Where matter exists.¡±


    ¡°Where space exists.¡±


    ¡°There must be an origin¡­ and the origin of all things and spirits, is the Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao.¡± Li Yuan referred to the descriptions contained within the Inheritance Crystal Stone.


    The Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao represents the ultimate reasons and ironclad rules for the operation of the universe.


    Like a Pseudo-God living for 5000 years.


    A True God has a lifespan of 30,000 years.


    Even for a powerful Heavenly Divine, they must fall once 300,000 years pass¡­ these are the ironclad rules of Heaven and Earth cycle, and no one can defy them.


    ¡°Even within the Divine Realm,¡±


    ¡°countless powerful beings ponder the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Origin to gradually control these ultimate truths.¡± Li Yuan internally remarked, ¡°Only by crossing the Threshold of the Law can one barely be called a ¡®cultivator¡¯ in the vast and boundless Divine Realm.¡±


    No matter how strong Semi-Divine beings, Pseudo-Gods or True Gods are,


    and even the legendary Heavenly Divines, they are all on the path of contemplating the Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao¡­ their depth of comprehension varies.


    ¡°Before crossing the Threshold of the Law, one contemplates the operation of the Power of Heaven and Earth.¡±


    ¡°After crossing the Threshold of the Law, one can vaguely sense the Earth Origin of Heaven and Earth.¡± Li Yuan sensed very clearly, the many puzzles while pondering ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± were being solved.


    All mysteries can find answers from the Heaven and Earth Origin.


    ¡°No wonder, those Semi-Divines,¡±


    ¡°once stepping into the Threshold of the Law, can strengthen their Origin Power, and even nurture their souls with Law.¡± Li Yuan reflected with emotion: ¡°Indeed, this is a transformation.¡±


    Being able to cross the Threshold of the Law signifies that one¡¯s comprehension of the Mysteries of the Heaven and Earth has reached a profound level.


    According to what Li Yuan knew,


    many weak civilizations, without much heritage or guidance from ancestors¡­ but among the descendants of strong beings generation after generation, Divine beings are ultimately born.


    The most crucial point among them is crossing the Threshold of Law during the contemplation of Heaven and Earth Mysteries.


    Ultimately, under the guidance of the Heaven and Earth Origin, they continue to progress, until eventually Lighting Divine Fire.


    ¡°As for now,¡±


    ¡°I am constantly contemplating True Intent and Law.¡±


    ¡°Constantly refining the Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°Then, every once in a while, continue awakening the Life Star.¡± Li Yuan was clear about what he needed to do.


    Serving as the Blue Star Leader was secondary.


    The key was still his own strength.


    ¡°I must strive hard, never lax.¡±


    ¡°Star Meridian, with the aid of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, I have become exceedingly powerful, even among the top echelon in the Divine Realm,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself. ¡°However, as for the growth of skills and comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace can¡¯t help one bit¡­ I can only rely on myself.¡±


    ¡°Compared to Little Ice, I¡¯m a bit slow. It seems that Little Ice¡¯s Law Comprehension is about to reach the Seventh Stage High Rank. If compared with those unparalleled geniuses in the Divine Realm, I have even less advantage in terms of Law Comprehension.¡± Li Yuan did not let his current achievements inflate his ego.


    Little Ice was a top-tier Wind Elemental Divine Beast with a remarkable talent for the Wind Law.


    But the Divine Realm is vast and boundless, teeming with countless lives, and every generation gives birth to incredible monstrous talents.


    Many of these prodigies comprehend the Laws at a speed that even the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent would marvel at.


    ¡­


    Dedicated cultivation always made time pass quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already 9:50 in the evening.


    Li Yuan had just returned to the battleship and, with a thought, sent a thread of his mind into the Blue Star virtual network.


    A Fourth Rank Battleship doesn¡¯t need a Virtual Network Cabin to connect directly to the virtual network.


    Blue Star virtual network.


    A place shrouded in mystery, here lay a vast Temple, beneath which was a cerulean planet.


    Hu!


    Following the guidance granted by his privileges, Li Yuan arrived instantly at the ¡®Blue Star Temple.¡¯


    ¡°A Temple, below which is the Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan stood at the entrance of the Temple, and the cerulean planet below caught his eye in a single glance.


    The implication was that those capable of coming to this planet were the core guardians of the entire Blue Star.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice sounded, and a figure appeared at the end of the corridor.


    ¡°Elder Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up; the figure in the distance was an elder dressed in white casual wear.


    It was indeed Bai Shan.


    ¡°Today, our main character has arrived a bit late,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Focused on cultivation, I arrived a little late,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Oh? Are you about to make another breakthrough? When will you have the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine teased, ¡°Then you¡¯ll be able to suppress this old man with a flip of your hand.¡±


    ¡°Elder, you jest,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Semi-Divine Peak? That was not so easily achieved.


    ¡°I heard about your accomplishments on Lantie Star, fighting one against three, even when trapped by an Origin Power Array,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t have come out unscathed either.¡±


    ¡°Your strength, I¡¯m afraid, is already greater than mine.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled. As far as he knew, Bai Shan Semi-Divine was at level 44. Although he had been cultivating for hundreds of years, his Law Comprehension was still at the Initial stage of the Seventh Stage¡­ His strength had long reached a bottleneck.


    However, Bai Shan Semi-Divine possessed several Divine Artifacts, which made his power truly fearsome.


    ¡°Today is the Semi-Divine Conference.¡±


    ¡°However, before the conference begins, I have called over a few heads of the Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°From now on, they will be handed over to you.¡± S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Soon.


    At the wave of Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s hand, several figures materialized and promptly bowed with respect: ¡°We meet the Grand Hall Master, we meet the Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°A Temple, below which is the Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan stood at the entrance of the Temple, and the cerulean planet below caught his eye in a single glance.


    The implication was that those capable of coming to this planet were the core guardians of the entire Blue Star.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice sounded, and a figure emerged at the end of the corridor.


    ¡°Elder Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, the figure in the distance was an elder dressed in white leisure wear.


    It was indeed Bai Shan.


    ¡°Today, our protagonist has come a bit late,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Focused on cultivation, I arrived a little late,¡± Li Yuan responded with a smile.


    ¡°Oh? Are you about to make a breakthrough? When will you have the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine joked, ¡°At that time, you¡¯ll be able to suppress this old man with a flip of your hand.¡±


    ¡°Elder, you jest,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Semi-Divine Peak? That was not so easily achieved.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about your exploits on Lantie Star, fighting one against three, even whilst ensnared by an Origin Power Array,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a chuckle. ¡°If it were me, I would not have come out in one piece.¡±


    ¡°Your strength, perhaps, is already greater than mine.¡±


    Li Yuan simply smiled. By his knowledge, Bai Shan Semi-Divine was level 44, having cultivated for hundreds of years, yet his Law Comprehension was still at the Initial Rank of Seventh Stage¡­ His strength had long hit a ceiling.


    Still, Bai Shan Semi-Divine wielded several Divine Artifacts, making his power quite formidable.


    ¡°Today is the Semi-Divine Conference.¡±


    ¡°But, before the conference starts, I¡¯ve also summoned several heads from the Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°From now on, they are in your hands.¡±


    Quite quickly.


    At the beckoning of Bai Shan Semi-Divine, several figures appeared, each bowing respectfully: ¡°Greetings to the Grand Hall Master, greetings to the Semi-Divine.¡±

 Chapter 691 - 372 Commander Li Yuan

    Chapter 691: Chapter 372 Commander Li Yuan


    ¡°Alright, the three of you may leave,¡± Li Yuan instructed, ¡°From now on, there is no need to see me specially other than for regular business reports. If there is anything important, I will naturally come to see you.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yue Hui, the Star Master, and the other two replied respectfully and quickly departed.


    In the corridor, only Li Yuan was left alone. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master¡¯s power and influence are indeed substantial,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°The Starfire Martial Hall even towers above all nations.¡±


    Only as his own martial cultivation and strength surged, and his authority increased, did Li Yuan truly understand the foundation of what the Starfire Martial Hall was.


    At its core, Starfire, Starry Sky, and Black Stone, these three Great Martial Halls formed the Seven Star Alliance¡­ and the multitude of nations were nothing but subordinates to the Seven Star Alliance.


    ...


    Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors were often loyal to a particular nation.


    But anyone who reached the peak of Flying Heaven would typically join one of the Martial Halls, because the best treasures and channels, as well as many Star Techniques and Secret Manuals, were directly controlled by the Martial Halls.


    And the Demigods, they all belonged to one of the three Great Martial Halls.


    ¡°The power of Demigods allows them to transcend nations,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to meet these Demigods of Blue Star.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, and he arrived at a higher floor in accordance with directions, reaching the meeting room at the end of the corridor.


    The meeting room wasn¡¯t large, and inside was a round table surrounded by many luxurious chairs upon which six figures sat waiting, each exuding a formidable aura.


    The main seat at the round table, however, remained suspended and unoccupied.


    Upon seeing Li Yuan enter the meeting room, the six figures all rose to their feet.


    ¡°Welcome, Commander Li Yuan,¡± the red-haired Caucasian man sitting beside the main seat said with a smile.


    ¡°Welcome, Commander Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Welcome.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I knew Commander Li Yuan would rise to prominence when he swept through the Second Level Star Realms two years ago, but to think it would be so fast¡ªwe are all truly impressed,¡± the burly bald man in Black Armor laughed heartily.


    ¡°He is formidable indeed,¡± another elder in extravagant clothing said with a smile, ¡°Though young, Commander Li Yuan campaigned across the Ming Xu Star Realm, sweeping through numerous Second Level Star Realms, saving the Lantie Star in crisis, slaying Demigods¡­ such dazzling achievements have earned you immense merit for our entire civilization. You truly deserve your position as Commander.¡±


    Before Li Yuan could speak, the assembly of Demigods began to speak up, showing great enthusiasm.


    This scene left Li Yuan slightly surprised in his heart.


    Is everyone so enthusiastic?


    ¡°You all are my seniors; your praise is too generous,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°I am merely fulfilling my duty as the Blue Star Commander.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Let me introduce them to you one by one.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°This is Demigod Dantai Lie,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master,¡± Dantai Lie¡¯s virtual image, a short-haired middle-aged man, bowed slightly.


    ¡°Demigod Dantai, there¡¯s no need for such formality. You have long guarded the entrance to the Wanhan Star Realm, which I am well aware of,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I am friends with Dantai Feng¡­ and I remember the favor from those earlier days.¡±


    Back then, Dantai Lie had given Li Yuan a Storage Treasure worth over a thousand Seven Stars Points.


    To the current Li Yuan, it was nothing much.


    But back then, it was a significant gift.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m sure under the Grand Hall Master¡¯s leadership, our Blue Star will only become more prosperous,¡± Dantai Lie said, beaming with smiles. The small kindness he had shown back then, remembered by Li Yuan, brought him great happiness.


    ¡°This is Demigod Chi Song,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine gestured towards the elder in lavish attire.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master,¡± Chi Song the Demigod bowed slightly.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    Of the seven Demigods on Blue Star, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Dantai Lie the Demigod, and Chi Song the Demigod were all part of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Hence, they all addressed Li Yuan as ¡®Grand Hall Master.¡¯


    ¡°This is Demigod Ha Lin, the Starry Sky Martial Hall Master of Blue Star,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine pointed toward the bald man in Black Armor.


    ¡°Commander,¡± Ha Lin the Demigod said with a laugh.


    ¡°Demigod Ha Lin controls the Starry Sky Martial Hall and manages the virtual network; I will need your support in the future,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Commander is the Leader of Blue Star, and I am under the Leader¡¯s command,¡± Ha Lin the Demigod said with a laugh. ¡°Just give the order, and I will obey.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred slightly; the stance of Demigod Ha Lin was rather unusual.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°This is the Starry Sky Martial Hall Master of Blue Star, Demigod Soylo,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine pointed to the red-haired Caucasian man, ¡°One of the strongest Demigods on our Blue Star, his power is not inferior to mine.¡±


    ¡°Demigod Soylo, in dealing with the affairs of Blue Star, I will need your assistance,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Yuan knew well in his heart, the truly important figures on Blue Star were none other than Demigod Soylo and Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    These two had the potential to threaten him.


    The other Demigods? They were merely at the Initial Rank of Semi-Divine, not worth his concern.


    Especially Demigod Soylo, who before him, had been the ¡®Acting Blue Star Leader.¡¯ Could there be any resentment in his heart?


    ¡°The Commander is too polite, I shall do my duty,¡± Soylo the Demigod said with considerable courtesy.


    ¡°Commander, I am Demigod Selvie,¡± the elegant woman in a Black Garment bowed.


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, Demigod Selvie was the only female Demigod of Blue Star, and her reputation was indeed significant.


    ¡°If I remember correctly, there should be another Demigod,¡± Li Yuan glanced around, ¡°Isn¡¯t Demigod Kuba here yet?¡±


    The people present turned their gaze towards Demigod Soylo.


    ¡°Commander,¡± Soylo the Demigod respectfully said, ¡°Demigod Kuba has recently consolidated a Law and has just advanced to the Middle Rank of Semi-Divine, and thus has been in Concealed Cultivation¡­ He is currently at a critical juncture, which is why he could not attend the Demigod Council. I hope the Commander will forgive this.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Middle Rank of Semi-Divine? That¡¯s good news,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, seemingly convinced.


    ¡°In Concealed Cultivation?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t he break through last year? He was still at the meeting last month. Isn¡¯t it too coincidental that on the very day the Commander attends his first meeting, he is absent?¡± the bald man Ha Lin the Demigod said with a smirk, ¡°Soylo, could it be that Kuba is displeased with the Commander?¡±

 Chapter 692 - 372 Commander Li Yuan_2

    Chapter 692: Chapter 372 Commander Li Yuan_2


    ¡°It really is coincidental, Kuba has recently made some breakthroughs in his cultivation,¡± Soylo said with a smile. ¡°After all, he has just condensed the Law, and it¡¯s a time of great progress. I hope the Commander can understand.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not like we need him to leave seclusion,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°A virtual network meeting only requires a fraction of one¡¯s attention. Is he really unable to spare that much time?¡±


    Everyone present was no fool; they naturally heard the underlying implications in the words of Harlin Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Enough.¡±


    ¡°The breakthrough in Kuba Semi-Divine¡¯s strength is good for us at Blue Star and for the entire civilization,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°I actually have no urgent matters today. It¡¯s fine if Kuba Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t make it. There will always be another chance to meet.¡±


    ¡°Just that, I¡¯m new here.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve read many documents, documents are just documents, after all. I¡¯d rather the esteemed seniors here introduce the situation to me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°Harlin, why don¡¯t you start with the Starry Sky Martial Hall?¡±


    ¡°Sure,¡± Harlin Semi-Divine nodded. ¡°Commander, Starry Sky Martial Hall mainly oversees this part of the virtual network. All of Blue Star¡¯s¡­¡±


    Time passed.


    With successive introductions from Harlin Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and Selvie Semi-Divine, with Li Yuan occasionally asking questions, he gained clearer cognizance of the entire operation of Blue Star.


    ¡­


    More than an hour later, the demi-god assembly concluded, and the other Semi-Divines left one after another.


    In the meeting room, only Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine remained.


    ¡°Starfire Martial Hall and Black Stone Martial Hall each control half of the regions in the reality of Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan remarked. ¡°Starry Sky Martial Hall, however, controls ninety percent of the virtual network¡¯s permissions.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a lot of power.¡±


    ¡°No wonder inside Xia Country, only Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall exist,¡± Li Yuan remarked with a sigh. ¡°While in places like Europa Continent, there are only Black Stone Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a design of competition,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°Overall, Blue Star has six thousand Flying Heaven Warriors, of which forty percent are in Starfire Martial Hall, forty percent in Black Stone Martial Hall¡­ and only about twenty percent in Starry Sky Martial Hall. Starry Sky Martial Hall has the weakest martial force, but it controls the economic operations of countries, setting various economic policies.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded silently.


    It seemed that while Starry Sky Martial Hall controlled the virtual network, it still depended on reality and was subjected to fragmented control by various countries¡­ ultimately forming a balanced situation of mutual checks.


    No matter the entity, seceding from the entire civilization would be a difficult endeavor.


    ¡°Is there a conflict between Harlin Semi-Divine and Soylo Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Not so much a conflict,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just that Soylo often has disputes with Harlin over the interests of Black Stone Martial Hall and his mother country. Kuba, being led by Soylo, naturally would side with him¡­ Kuba Semi-Divine¡¯s absence today might also be a form of protest.¡±


    ¡°Protest?¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°Is it his discontent or Soylo¡¯s?¡±


    Li Yuan had a general understanding of Blue Star¡¯s seven Semi-Divines.


    Black Stone Martial Hall and Starfire Martial Hall each had three, and the competition was fierce¡­ As the only Semi-Divine from Starry Sky Martial Hall, Harlin Semi-Divine held a naturally more detached status.


    ¡°Hard to say,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine remarked thoughtfully.


    ¡°But you need not worry about it,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a sigh. ¡°Actually, this underlying conflict has existed for a long time¡­ Logically speaking, he was supposed to become the Blue Star Leader decades ago, based on his strength not being inferior to mine.¡±


    ¡°But at that time, Alliance Hierarch strongly pushed Fang Hai,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°Back then, few people were convinced by Fang Hai, and some even openly embarrassed him.¡±


    ¡°Unconvinced?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Back then, Fang Hai¡¯s strength was even slightly lacking compared to a Semi-Divine,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine explained. ¡°Unlike you, who has made great achievements and contributions¡­ How could they be convinced by Fang Hai in their hearts like they are with you?¡±


    Li Yuan slightly nodded.


    Being the Blue Star Leader was mainly about spiritual tempering; in the short term, it wouldn¡¯t significantly enhance one¡¯s strength.


    But for one¡¯s disciples, relatives, and even one¡¯s home country¡­ it could be tremendously beneficial, involving many interests.


    A word from the Commander, a single document, could bring immense benefits to a country, deciding the livelihood of millions.


    ¡°Thus, they believe that the Hierarch is suppressing them,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°With your arrival forcing Soylo to step down again¡­ His seat barely warmed up, what do you think they feel?¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    It would likely only deepen their existing impressions.


    ¡°Would the Alliance Hierarch suppress them?¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s just that the Hierarch favors Xia Country more, with more resources available within the civilization, and they are all on Blue Star¡­ it¡¯s merely an illusion they¡¯ve created.¡±


    ¡°But many precious cultivation resources were obtained by the Hierarch himself, and it¡¯s entirely up to him to decide who to give them to,¡± Li Yuan remarked.


    Everyone has their biases. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Who could be without them?


    Like Li Yuan, who used the treasure resources he obtained for his uncle and aunt, and also to repay some elders who had been kind to him in the past¡ªLi Yuan felt it was perfectly justified.


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°Different perspectives.¡±


    ¡°The Hierarch, back then, was looking from the height of the entire Seven Star Civilization, training the principal as his successor,¡± Li Yuan continued. ¡°To the Hierarch, Blue Star is just part of the civilization, and being the Blue Star Leader is merely a training position. Reality has proven the Hierarch right, as now the principal has smoothly taken up the role of Vice Alliance Hierarch, gradually taking control of the entire alliance.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Li Yuan saw it clearly. Suppress Soylo Semi-Divine?

 Chapter 693 - 372 Commander Li Yuan_3

    Chapter 693: Chapter 372 Commander Li Yuan_3


    No! I just didn¡¯t give them special treatment, that¡¯s all.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how do you plan to deal with Kuba Semi-Divine?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan Senior, don¡¯t worry,¡± said Li Yuan. ¡°Not to mention that Soylo Semi-Divine was very polite to me today, even if Soylo openly contradicts me in the future¡­ as long as his points make sense, I will acknowledge them.¡±


    ¡°What about Kuba Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°He has just become a Semi-Divine Middle Rank, he can¡¯t affect me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°As long as he still acknowledges himself as a member of the Seven Stars Civilization and continues to contribute to it¡­ I can tolerate some complaints and eccentricities. I certainly won¡¯t suppress him.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I am willing to serve as the Blue Star Leader first to hone myself, and second to make some contributions to civilization, not to subjugate the strong ones on Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°What I pursue is beneficial for the entire civilization,¡± Li Yuan said.


    A thought struck Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    He originally worried that Li Yuan was young; youth could bring vigor and impulsiveness¡­ If Li Yuan directly went to reprimand Kuba Semi-Divine, it would be very irrational.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s mindset was much stronger than he had anticipated.


    ¡°Capable of accommodating others,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine thought to himself. ¡°This mindset is better than Fang Hai¡¯s back in the days.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine still remembered that Fang Hai was much more impulsive than Li Yuan back then, and acted more recklessly.


    Fortunately.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s strength and prestige were enough to restrain Fang Hai, preventing chaos¡­ Later, Fang Hai gradually matured.


    ¡°Okay, it is good as long as you have made a decision,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°What are your thoughts on the inauguration ceremony in half a month?¡±


    ¡°Keep it simple,¡± Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to create too much commotion¡­ it¡¯s best if everything proceeds as usual.¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t care about these formalities.


    Ordinary people need grandeur as a facade, to deter others, to prevent others from seeing their weaknesses and thus command respect.


    But for cultivators, it¡¯s about their own strong abilities.


    From the moment Li Yuan killed an Alien Race Semi-Divine, it was destined that he would possess enough deterrence.


    What was missing was just an opportunity to assert his authority internally, to make everyone understand his character.


    ¡°Okay,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    ¡­


    Blue Star virtual network, Black Stone space.


    ¡°Brother, do you think Li Yuan will target us?¡± Selvie Semi-Divine frowned. ¡°Just like Fang Hai did back then?¡±


    ¡°It depends.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve already yielded, and Kuba didn¡¯t really confront him,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°I have no intention of competing with him¡­ we are also members of the Seven Stars Civilization, he shouldn¡¯t take things too far.¡±


    ¡°Hopefully, that¡¯s the case,¡± Selvie sighed.


    ¡­


    Three days after the Semi-Divine meeting.


    Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, after receiving the news, both returned to Kunlun Martial University¡­ Li Muhua even brought his new wife.


    ¡°Brother!!¡± Li Qianqian, wearing a professional suit, was extremely excited and jumped to hug Li Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re a company CEO now, yet you¡¯re still not composed,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    Li Qianqian had already graduated from Culture University and was now running a company by herself in the Capital City.


    Not many people knew her background.


    ¡°I¡¯m home,¡± Li Qianqian pouted. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s been years since I¡¯ve seen you, and the first thing you do when we meet is to lecture me.¡±


    ¡°Haha, okay, you should be more relaxed at home,¡± Li Yuan laughed as he patted his sister¡¯s head.


    This scene amazed the nearby Liao Fei, who was well aware that the first time she met this sister-in-law, she seemed a strong independent woman¡­ nowhere like today.


    Including her own husband, who was a respected young Origin Martial Artist outside, stable and composed, but his image completely changed at home¡­ all because of the seemingly ordinary young man.


    Li Yuan!!


    Also standing at the peak of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Sister-in-law,¡± Li Yuan smiled at the beautiful woman in front of him. ¡°I couldn¡¯t make it to your wedding with Muhua, I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve heard from uncle and aunt that it¡¯s Muhua¡¯s fortune to have found you.¡±


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Liao Fei was quite nervous.


    ¡°I came back in a hurry, didn¡¯t have time to prepare an extra gift, hope you don¡¯t mind,¡± Li Yuan flipped his hand, presenting the gift he prepared.


    A Fourth Rank Soul Treasure.


    ¡°This?¡± Liao Fei, also a Martial Artist, although unable to discern the value of the treasure, could still feel its extraordinariness.


    It was certainly a rare treasure.


    ¡°Big brother gave it to you, so just accept it,¡± Li Muhua whispered, knowing his older brother¡¯s personality.


    The family reunited, full of joyful harmony.


    ¡­


    ¡°Qianqian, this robot, I¡¯ll have it secretly protect you,¡± Li Yuan instructed. ¡°I don¡¯t mind about you running a company, and I don¡¯t care that you¡¯re not interested in Martial Path¡­ but the path of Life Evolution that I¡¯ve arranged for you, I hope you commit to it a bit more. As long as you follow the steps, there¡¯s hope for you to achieve a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    There are many advantages of robot protection.


    The most crucial aspect was that they could provide around-the-clock personal protection¡­ incomparable to any other form of life.


    ¡°Become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± Li Qianqian held her breath.


    She was no longer the naive girl from the past, having navigated the business world for several years, she naturally understood the significance of this.


    ¡°Alright, big brother.¡± Li Qianqian nodded.


    ¡­


    ¡°Go to Feixing special training?¡± Li Muhua was somewhat surprised when he heard Li Yuan¡¯s plan.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I have already arranged it for you.¡± Li Yuan looked at Li Muhua, ¡°Muhua, your Martial Path talent is good¡­ if you follow the conventional path, with my help, becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior won¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    ¡°But if you want to become stronger, then you must undergo a transformation yourself.¡±


    ¡°The path, I have arranged it for you.¡±


    ¡°Whether you are willing to walk it, and how far you can go, depends on yourself.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°This special training is extremely dangerous, the mortality rate is over 50%, decide for yourself whether you are willing to go.¡±


    ¡°A mortality rate of 50%?¡± Li Muhua was taken aback, and he struggled internally.


    One path followed a fixed route, almost certainly culminating in becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    The other path, however, was filled with bloodshed.


    After a long contemplation.


    ¡°Brother, I am willing to undergo the special training.¡± A determined look flashed in Li Muhua¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Li Yuan asked indifferently.


    ¡°Yes, I am sure.¡± Li Muhua nodded emphatically, spoke solemnly, ¡°Brother, I know you would provide the best conditions for cultivation¡­ but the core of Martial Path cultivation still depends on oneself, if I don¡¯t have the courage to venture forth, I won¡¯t make significant achievements.¡±


    ¡°Not afraid of death?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Brother, didn¡¯t you tell me that many offspring of powerful figures in the East have died? Everyone fears death, but to achieve great accomplishments on this path, one must not fear it.¡± Li Muhua said.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°The path, you chose it yourself.¡± Li Yuan said indifferently, ¡°As your elder brother, I can only offer you one piece of advice, to have no regrets, even I am just struggling on this long Martial Path.¡±


    Li Muhua silently pondered over these words.


    ¡­


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine, please take care of my brother¡¯s matters.¡± Li Yuan messaged, ¡°During the special training, just protect him covertly¡­ no need to let him know beforehand.¡±


    Ultimately, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t be as ruthless as Alliance Hierarch Dongfang.


    Feixing special training was aimed at many young talents, these talents were not comparable to the ¡®geniuses of the Martial Divine Hall¡¯, but they too had potential to become Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ the Semi-Divines, willing to pay some price, could also send people in.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Ling, is he venturing in a Second Level Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan also learned about Xu Ling¡¯s current situation from ¡®Wan Qinghe¡¯.


    Li Yuan was quite concerned about Xu Ling.


    Wan Qinghe, now having become the City Hall Master of Jiang City¡¯s Starfire Martial Hall with Top Level Origin Martial Artist strength¡­ He knew the significance of Xu Ling to Li Yuan and had always been helping Xu Ling to grow in secret.


    ¡­


    January 28, 2053, Li Yuan¡¯s inauguration ceremony was officially held in the virtual network.


    Li Yuan also officially became the Blue Star Leader.


    ¡­


    After taking over as the Commander, not much changed in Li Yuan¡¯s life.


    Most of the time, he stayed concealed at Kunlun Martial University, focusing on refining his Spear Technique.


    Occasionally, he would handle some tasks as the Grand Hall Master, Blue Star Leader.


    In February, Xu Ling returned from the Star Realm, and was promptly arranged by Li Yuan to also go for Feixing special training.


    ¡°With my family worry-free.¡±


    ¡°I can fully immerse myself in cultivation.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was utterly calm, he had spent over 100 thousand Seven Stars Points for his family and Xu Ling.

 Chapter 694 - 373 The Death of Dongfang Ji

    Chapter 694: Chapter 373 The Death of Dongfang Ji


    ¡°Li Yuan! Urgent matter, concerning the survival of our entire civilization, immediately enter the virtual network ¡®Starfire Realm¡¯.¡± The message from Yun Lao was brief, yet it alarmed Li Yuan greatly.


    Concerned about the survival of civilization?


    ¡°Yun Lao, what is the matter?¡± Li Yuan immediately responded.


    Yun Lao was the Grand Steward of the entire Seven Star Civilization and a steadfast executor of the orders from Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji.


    It could be said that while it seemed like Fang Hai and Lant Semi-Divine were Vice Alliance Hierarchs, Yun Lao was the behind-the-scenes overseer.


    Domains such as the Star Technique World and the Divine Artifact Chamber were directly controlled by Yun Lao.


    ...


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, Yun Lao was not a real lifeform, but rather an auxiliary intelligent being.


    ¡°Enter Starfire Realm, you will naturally understand.¡± Yun Lao communicated, ¡°Come quickly.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan responded, but a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.


    What could make Yun Lao lose his composure like this?


    At that thought.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, activate alert mode,¡± Li Yuan commanded. ¡°Also, ignore any other communications for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The warship¡¯s intelligence replied, and the gigantic Fourth Rank Battleship immediately engaged its alert mode.


    In this mode, energy consumption significantly increased, but so did the protection ability.


    ¡°Connect to the virtual network.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes.


    Hum~


    In a flash of thought, Li Yuan silently connected to the Blue Star virtual network and subsequently entered the Starfire Realm.

    Starfire Realm was the highest holy land within the virtual network for the Starfire Martial Hall, normally accessible only to Semi-Divine.


    Swoosh!


    Dressed in a purple garment. Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere in the vast expanse of the void, where only a floating, majestic palace in fiery red stood.


    Within the fiery red light, flecks of golden light were mixed, adding an even more sacred aura to the palace.


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s third visit to the Starfire Realm, and his first since becoming the Blue Star Leader.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    In the void outside the palace, several figures appeared out of thin air, all familiar faces to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Soylo Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, what brings you here?¡± Li Yuan looked at the two arrivals.


    ¡°Commander,¡± the two Semi-Divine first respectfully saluted.


    Then San Ye Semi-Divine said, ¡°Commander, I was summoned by Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang Hai to attend a meeting swiftly.¡±


    ¡°And you, Soylo Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    This was the Starfire Realm, which under normal circumstances, should not be accessible to non-Starfire Martial Hall Semi-Divine.


    ¡°I received a message from Senior Lant,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine explained, ¡°It seems I was granted temporary authorization to enter.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s shock intensified.


    What exactly was the matter at hand?


    At that moment.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! More figures appeared, most of them dressed in golden garments.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, enter the Main Hall first,¡± Li Yuan said, flying with Soylo Semi-Divine and San Ye Semi-Divine into the Main Hall.


    Upon their arrival through the corridor.


    In the outer palace¡¯s Main Hall, there were already over forty figures, the vast majority clad in golden garments, with only a very few in purple.


    Their arrival immediately caught the attention of the numerous Semi-Divine.


    ¡°That is Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He is a First Rank Star Master?¡±


    ¡°Being a First Rank Star Master is normal if you had his strength and talent. You could also be a Planet Leader, a First Rank Star Master,¡± many Semi-Divine were discussing among themselves.


    Many Semi-Divine were seeing Li Yuan for the first time, observing the first talent of the Seven Star Civilization.


    And upon a brief observation, these Semi-Divine could sense the difference¡­ Spiritual Will.


    In the virtual network, everyone¡¯s body was the same, only the Spiritual Will differed, something the network could not simulate.


    ¡°Such a fierce Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°His will must be among the strongest in the Semi-Divine, no wonder his Soul Secret Technique is so terrifying,¡± many Semi-Divine marveled.


    These Semi-Divine were observing Li Yuan, and Li Yuan was also observing them.


    ¡°According to the rules, during the Star Master conference in the virtual network, Third Class Star Masters wear black garments, Second Class Star Masters wear golden garments, and First Rank Star Masters wear purple,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Purple is the most revered, followed by gold.


    And today, those who gathered in the Starfire Realm were at least in golden garments, indicating that all were Semi-Divine.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, aside from Li Yuan, other Flying Heaven Star Masters were only Third Class Star Masters.


    As time passed.


    Many Semi-Divine greeted Li Yuan proactively, and more continued to arrive, like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, Flame CIty Semi-Divine, one after another.


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai Semi-Divine have arrived.¡±


    ¡°The two Vice Alliance Hierarchs are here,¡± everyone looked towards the last two figures to appear.


    They too were dressed in purple garments, only their garments were more luxurious and intricate.


    Lant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai Semi-Divine directly walked up to the high platform of the hall, facing the crowd.


    The two exchanged glances.


    Then, Lant Semi-Divine stepped forward and directly said, ¡°Today, as the first Vice Alliance Hierarch and one of the founders of the Alliance, I invoke the ¡®Seven Stars Civilization Star Pact¡¯ and hereby formally propose that Fang Hai Semi-Divine be appointed as the ¡®Seven Stars Alliance Hierarch¡¯.¡± Lant Semi-Divine, with his golden hair like a lion, swept his gaze over everyone, ¡°I herewith launch the vote, those who disagree, raise your hands.¡±


    Silence fell.


    Like a thunderclap on a clear day.


    Including Li Yuan, everyone was stunned by Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s words, appoint the Seven Stars Alliance Hierarch?


    It was almost a consensus among all Semi-Divine that Fang Hai would succeed as the Hierarch.


    But!!


    This matter was not supposed to be voted on directly by the Star Masters, but should have been ordered by the incumbent Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Ji, right?


    Today¡¯s emergency meeting, Dongfang Ji never showed up from beginning to end, instead, Lant Semi-Divine made the announcement.


    Lant Semi-Divine held an extremely high position and had even more seniority, but he couldn¡¯t compare to Dongfang Ji.


    Dongfang Ji, that¡¯s a revered prestige forged with absolute strength.


    The scene at hand was too bizarre.


    It made one involuntarily think of grim possibilities.


    Even Li Yuan, upon hearing this proposal and recalling Cloud Elder¡¯s words ¡®pertaining to the survival of civilization¡¯, couldn¡¯t help but feel a jolt in his heart.


    Could it be?


    Had the Alliance Hierarch truly fallen?


    ¡­


    Time ticked away in the conference room by the second.


    ¡°Alright, final countdown, ten seconds. If any Vice Alliance Hierarchs object, please raise your hand, 10, 9, 8¡­¡± Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s gaze was piercing, his voice resounded like a bell throughout the conference room.


    Still, there was silence.


    No one raised their hands.


    ¡°3, 2, 1.¡± Lant Semi-Divine said gravely, ¡°Alright, I declare passed unanimously. Fang Hai Semi-Divine is now the second ¡®Seven Star Alliance Hierarch.''¡±


    Just like that, it was decided?


    The demi-gods present inevitably felt a sense of absurdity; this wasn¡¯t because they doubted Fang Hai¡¯s strength. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It¡¯s just that the entire process seemed too hasty.


    ¡°Greetings, Alliance Hierarch.¡± Lant Semi-Divine stepped back, slightly bowed in salute.


    ¡°Greetings, Alliance Hierarch.¡± Below, the Purple Garment Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Li Yuan, although a beat slower, took the initiative to salute.


    Seeing this, many demi-gods in the main hall finally proceeded to salute, and with that, Fang Hai¡¯s ¡®Alliance Hierarch status¡¯ was fully acknowledged.


    On the platform, Fang Hai took a deep breath.


    He understood that from this moment on, he was at the top, and he must bear the weight of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Fellow Star Masters,¡± Fang Hai said in a deep voice, ¡°I know there are many doubts in your minds, but I can tell you, the teacher is fine, he is still alive, just at a critical moment of seclusion, temporarily unable to appear.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after a discussion among the highest tiers, I am temporarily taking over as the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    The hall quieted down.


    Dongfang Ji is alright? Various thoughts arose in the minds of many demi-gods. Some believed him, while others were skeptical.


    Today¡¯s events were just too sudden.


    ¡°I have just taken the position and have three orders; the first order is to raise the alert level of all major planets to the highest, to strictly monitor and prevent a Lantie Star crisis from reoccurring,¡± Fang Hai said.


    The demi-gods listened.


    ¡°The second order, to initiate the Feixing Migration Plan.¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°Feixing is now overpopulated. We will relocate some of the cities to other planets to reduce the burden on Feixing.¡±


    Feixing Migration?


    Feixing is overpopulated? Even those demi-gods who trusted Fang Hai had troubling thoughts.


    Must we migrate now?


    Is it really because of Feixing¡¯s overpopulation, or is it out of concern that a Semi-Divine level war might break out on Feixing, causing enormous damage to the entire Seven Star Civilization? After all, Feixing is the core industrial zone of the Seven Star Civilization; countless resources come from Feixing.


    ¡°The third order, I appoint the Blue Star Leader Li Yuan as the ¡®Seven Star Civilization Vice Alliance Hierarch¡¯.¡± Fang Hai stated directly and looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Commander Li Yuan has performed great deeds for the civilization, and his strength is also sufficient.¡±


    Boom!


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch? Li Yuan?¡± Many demi-gods present couldn¡¯t help but turn their gaze toward Li Yuan.


    Demi-gods like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Soylo Semi-Divine, and San Ye Semi-Divine, showed a flicker of surprise in their eyes.


    Clearly, they were unaware of this.


    This was a decision most demi-gods couldn¡¯t have foreseen.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch! Higher than a First Class Star Master.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is only in the Flying Heaven Realm.¡± Suddenly, there was quite the stir of comments. In the eyes of these demi-gods, Li Yuan, no matter how talented, was not yet suited to be the Vice Alliance Hierarch.


    After all, demi-gods like Xin Yu and Blood Cloth were at the Semi-Divine Peak¡­ logically, it would be one of these two Semi-Divine Peak experts ascending to the position.


    Even Li Yuan himself felt surprised and perplexed.


    He was still just in the Flying Heaven Realm, his strength indeed was not yet at the Semi-Divine Peak, holding the position of the planet leader was already the limit.


    Vice Alliance Hierarch? It seemed rather rushed.


    ¡°I agree,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said.


    The murmurs among the crowd quieted down substantially.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s excellent,¡± Mu Ji Semi-Divine smiled, ¡°Commander Li Yuan currently possesses such strength; once he becomes a demi-god, he might even reach Semi-Divine Limit power.¡±


    ¡°Commander Li Yuan qualifies to be the Vice Alliance Hierarch; it¡¯s never stipulated that it must be a demi-god to hold the position. Sufficient strength and contributions are all that are needed,¡± Flame City Semi-Divine also spoke up.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s acceptable,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    They were all demi-gods of intermediate rank, and their words carried significant weight.


    Flame City Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were moreover First Class Star Masters.


    Thereby, even though many demi-gods still harbored doubts about Li Yuan¡¯s promotion to Vice Alliance Hierarch, at least no one openly opposed it.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today; all Second Class Star Masters, please leave,¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°First Class Star Masters, stay behind, there¡¯s another meeting.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Dozens of demi-gods left Starfire Realm swiftly, with their minds full of doubts and suspicions.


    Eventually, only nine figures remained in the grand hall.


    Li Yuan scanned around, aside from himself and the four demi-gods at the Semi-Divine Peak, there were only four other demi-gods of intermediate rank: Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Flame City Semi-Divine, Snow Dragon Semi-Divine, and Heavenly Fire Semi-Divine.


    To attain the status of ¡®First Class Star Master¡¯ at the Semi-Divine middle rank, each had their unique aspects.


    These nine individuals truly represented the top echelon of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Fellow members of the civilization¡¯s core layer,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s face showed a trace of sorrow, speaking in a low voice, ¡°Therefore, I will not withhold certain matters from you.¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s urgency indeed stems from a reason; our Seven Star Civilization is at its most dangerous moment.¡±


    ¡°Our teacher has fallen in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain!¡±


    ¡°From today onwards, our Seven Star Civilization no longer has an invincible demi-god; we must rely on ourselves.¡± Fang Hai spoke in a low voice, his eyes faintly reddened.


    Silence filled the area.


    Even though some harbored guesses, the hearts of most of those present still shuddered.


    They all understood¡ªthe sky of the Seven Star Civilization had collapsed!

 Chapter 695 - 374: Two Major Calamities

    Chapter 695: Chapter 374: Two Major Calamities


    ¡°Is the Alliance Leader truly dead?¡±


    Li Yuan was shaken to the core. Even though he had heard it straight from Fang Hai¡¯s mouth, he still found it hard to believe.


    That man who led the rise of a civilization and stood undefeated for over a century, enigmatic even to the likes of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, could he really have fallen so suddenly, without a sound?


    Even with a power almost at the Semi-Divine Peak, Li Yuan still felt he was far inferior to Dongfang Ji and had to strive harder.


    Although the path of cultivation is unpredictable, in the ¡°Inheritance Crystal Stone¡± given by Qiu Bingzun, it often described how some supreme beings fell silently into terrifying dangerous lands.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s heart still struggled to accept it.


    ...


    ¡°Fang Hai,¡± the Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes were filled with urgency, ¡°how could Dongfang have been in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡±


    The urgency in the Bai Shan Semi-Divine was palpable; he was past caring about formal titles. Among those present, if one were to talk about emotional ties with Dongfang Ji, aside from Fang Hai, it would be him.


    The faces of the others were also filled with shocked urgency, and they couldn¡¯t help but turn to Fang Hai.


    Panic seized them!


    Among these powerful individuals present, none were without a sense of alarm.


    ¡°Many secrets are not known by Second Class Star Masters, hence I did not announce them openly,¡± Fang Hai said gravely. ¡°But everyone present here is at the core of the Seven Star Civilization, and you should all be somewhat familiar with the Nine Mountains World in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°In fact, at the end of the 51st year, our teacher had already gone to the Nine Mountains World,¡± said Fang Hai.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.§ã0


    The crowd felt a slight shock.


    Apart from Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and the Lant Semi-Divine, no one else present knew of this news. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In other words, you didn¡¯t actually witness the fall of Dongfang?¡± the Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked urgently, as if grasping at a lifeline.


    ¡°Indeed, I did not.¡±


    ¡°Our teacher went to the core area of the Nine Mountains World, a place beyond our strength to tread,¡± said Fang Hai with bitterness. ¡°According to what the teacher said before, even if there were some dangers, there should still have been a great hope of survival. But I never imagined¡­¡±


    The core area of the Nine Mountains World? Both the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were inexplicably shocked.


    In fact,


    Most of the demigods present had ventured into the Nine Mountains World and had obtained various benefits¡­ but none had the strength to venture deep into the core area.


    ¡°Alliance Leader,¡± the Snow Dragon Demigod, dressed in white, inquired, ¡°Was it with the Life Crystal that you confirmed Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s death?¡±


    The Life Crystal, the Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Alliance had almost each refined one.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t the Life Crystal.¡±


    ¡°The place where our teacher went is beyond where the Life Crystal can confirm life or death,¡± Fang Hai shook his head. ¡°It was the Soul Lamp, a contingency left by our teacher before he left, which is a higher level tool for confirming life and death¡­ Just today, our teacher¡¯s Soul Lamp went out.¡±


    A Soul Lamp? Others might not understand well,


    But Li Yuan knew its mystery because he too had refined a Soul Lamp and knew its value.


    As long as one is within this Dimensional Domain, the Soul Lamp can confirm life and death.


    ¡°The Soul Lamp is only a part of it.¡±


    Fang Hai continued gravely, ¡°Additionally, our teacher had built many special bases on Feixing, one of which held many Alien Race Semi-Divines captive; among them, two had already been under the Soul Control of our teacher.¡±


    ¡°Many Alien Race Semi-Divines?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of such a base.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a base like that on Feixing?¡± The First Rank Star Masters were all somewhat astonished, unable to resist asking questions.


    Even Li Yuan was surprised, captive demigods? Where were they captured from?


    ¡°That is not the point.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s strength far surpasses ours; the palace he built for the whole civilization is unimaginable by us, and there is no point in making too many people aware of many matters,¡± said the Lant Semi-Divine coldly. ¡°Let¡¯s continue listening to the Alliance Leader.¡±


    Everyone quieted down and continued to watch Li Yuan.


    ¡°Today, when the Soul Lamp went out, those two Semi-Divines who had been controlled by our teacher¡¯s Soul also regained their freedom,¡± said Fang Hai darkly. ¡°Of course, their souls had suffered heavy damage, so they were easily recaptured by us.¡±


    ¡°But numerous signs have already suggested that our teacher, indeed, has fallen,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Silence fell.


    If it were only the so-called ¡®Soul Lamp¡¯ that went out, there could be a mistake, but if the Soul Servants who were under Soul Control regained normalcy?


    Then it¡¯s unlikely to be a mistake.


    The Semi-Divines present had almost no experience with Soul Control techniques, but were more or less familiar with this legendary soul secret technique.


    Soul Servants, once their master dies, the Soul Imprint will also fade and they will regain their freedom¡­ The process of regaining freedom is painful, and the servant¡¯s soul will suffer heavy damage, even possibly ending in a perpetual slumber, but they are mostly likely to survive.


    A soul-related connection is very special.


    ¡°Everyone.¡±


    ¡°The teacher¡¯s death is something none of us wants to see, but it is a fact, and no matter how reluctant we are to believe it, we must accept reality,¡± Fang Hai, with reddened eyes and a solemn voice, said, ¡°If we were just an ordinary civilization, it would not be a big deal, because our teacher left many methods behind, and our Seven Star Civilization also has so many demigods, we won¡¯t be easily bullied¡­ but we are situated next to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°It has prompted our Seven Star Civilization to rise quickly.¡±


    ¡°But it is also the origin of all misfortunes.¡±


    The expressions of everyone present were stern.


    The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, which caused a divine war tens of thousands of years ago, had countless strong beings fall¡­ Even if many civilizations did not know that the Seven Star Civilization had a shortcut to enter the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains Star Realm.


    But just from the rapid rise of the Seven Star Civilization, one could infer that there were secrets within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Only with great strength can one keep a treasure.


    ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization gets wind of our teachers passing, it might go completely mad, and reenact the struggle of the Feixing war, or even a more intense battle,¡± said Fang Hai gravely. ¡°By then, it might be a hundred, two hundred, or even more demigods invading.¡±

 Chapter 696 - 374: Two Major Calamities_2

    Chapter 696: Chapter 374: Two Major Calamities_2


    All the people¡¯s hearts shuddered.


    The overall strength of the Myriad Demons Civilization was far greater than that of the Seven Star Civilization, with nearly a hundred Semi-Divine Peak Experts alone.


    In the past,


    Dongfang Ji had been too powerful, having killed a large number of semi-divines, his deterrence was like that of a divine entity, preventing any large-scale invasions by the Myriad Demons Civilization, leading to nearly a century of peace.


    But now, Dongfang Ji was no longer present.


    Would the Myriad Demons Civilization give up this opportunity?


    ...


    ¡°No,¡± said Xin Yu, the only female Semi-Divine present, her voice chilled, ¡°Alliance Leader Fang, Elder Lant¡­ If Dongfang Alliance Leader has indeed fallen, shouldn¡¯t we be guarding this secret, trying to buy time?¡±


    ¡°With the talents of Alliance Leader Fang and Vice Alliance Leader Li Yuan, if we could conceal this for another three to five years, the situation will likely change drastically,¡± said Xin Yu with a frown. ¡°Especially Vice Alliance Leader Li Yuan, whose strength is already nearing Semi-Divine Peak¡­ once he breaks through to become a Semi-Divine, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to reach the Semi-Divine Limit.¡±


    Xin Yu expressed the doubts in her heart.


    ¡°Exactly! We should pretend like nothing has happened.¡±


    ¡°We should keep hiding it.¡±


    ¡°Replacing the leader, migrating Feixing¡­ The scale is too large; even if there are no traitors among the Semi-Divines, there are always spies from the Alien Race, they will surely guess. Once the Myriad Demons Civilization receives the news, they will definitely probe,¡± the crowd could not help but speak.


    Even with the doubts in his heart, from a larger perspective, Li Yuan truly should continue to conceal it.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not as simple as you think,¡± said Lant Semi-Divine in a low voice. ¡°Whether it is appointing Fang Hai as the Alliance Leader or Li Yuan as the Vice Alliance Leader¡­ these were the commands of Dongfang Alliance Leader before he left, and they must be carried out¡­ The specific reasons will be made known when necessary.¡±


    ¡°For the sake of our civilization, some matters must remain secret,¡± declared Lant Semi-Divine earnestly. ¡°Only I and the Alliance Leader know them.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Since Lant Semi-Divine says so, there must be a reason.¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°We shall comply,¡± Xin Yu, Flame City Semi-Divine, Skyfire Semi-Divine, and the others nodded.


    They, too, understood the gravity.


    In the history of the Seven Star Civilization, there had been Semi-Divine traitors¡­ so only the most trusted could control the core secrets.


    Fang Hai felt a sigh of relief internally, his greatest fear had been these Semi-Divines demanding answers by force.


    In terms of strength, Fang Hai believed he could surpass anyone, but he was still short of that invincible might.


    To lead the entire civilization, he would need prestige.


    With Dongfang Ji gone, only Lant Semi-Divine held that prestige, as his historic acts of saving the civilization gave everyone reason to believe¡­ Lant Semi-Divine would never betray their civilization.


    ¡°As for leaks?¡±


    ¡°No matter how much we keep a secret, Myriad Demons Civilization would still find out about the Alliance Leader¡¯s fall, perhaps they even know now, this is related to other secrets of our civilization.¡± Lant Semi-Divine said solemnly, ¡°The specifics, we¡¯ll discuss later.¡±


    ¡°We just need to know one thing.¡±


    ¡°Following this, no matter how the Myriad Demons Civilization tries probing attacks or invasions, we must hold our ground,¡± declared Lant Semi-Divine seriously. ¡°As long as we can delay them, even if Feixing falls, even if hundreds of billions perish¡­ as long as we can hold them off.¡±


    ¡°Delaying until the day the Alliance Leader or Li Yuan breaks through, we can then settle everything.¡±


    Everyone present turned their eyes towards Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    If the Myriad Demons Civilization already knew the truth, then war was imminent¡­ Most of them had cultivated for hundreds of years, seeking to quickly increase their strength was simply impossible.


    Only Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    These two unparalleled geniuses, if solely discussing the speed of cultivation and rise, Fang Hai was not inferior to Dongfang Ji¡­ and Li Yuan was even more exaggerated.


    In any case, their existence brought the highest echelons of the Seven Star Civilization a glimpse of hope for victory.


    ¡°We primarily have two major disasters,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said, ¡°First, the Demon Mountain Star Realm, which is the Fourth Level Star Realm bordering the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It is also the only Fourth Level Star Realm gate of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    A Fourth Level Star Realm allows semi-divines to freely enter and exit.


    In history, the numerous semi-divine great wars that the Seven Star Civilization burst into were mostly initiated in the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    ¡°We must guard the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said, ¡°As long as we hold it, then the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s semi-divine peak cannot invade.¡±


    ¡°Nor can they destroy the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the past, when the Dongfang Alliance Leader was here, he alone could defend the gate, but now, we need more semi-divines to guard it,¡± Lant Semi-Divine spoke gravely.


    More semi-divines? Everyone felt a heavy burden.


    How many semi-divines were there in the entire Seven Star Civilization?


    ¡°Second, the Third Level Star Realms on each of the major planets¡­ Previously, each planet had a semi-divine guarding it, the Alien Civilization knew that invading was futile, unable to shake our foundation. Therefore, they would only probe occasionally, but would fiercely break through using the Third Level Star Realms,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said, ¡°Like the crisis on Lantie Star, the Myriad Demons Civilization only deployed thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors¡­¡±


    ¡°But if we focus the semi-divines on guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the strength on other planets will naturally weaken.¡±


    ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization secretly allies with other civilizations and launches fierce attacks, striking through all Third Level Star Realms, the pressure on us will be unprecedented,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said.


    Everyone nodded.


    Just thinking about such a scenario could make one feel desperate.


    If the Myriad Demons Star Realm falls, then all is lost, and hundreds of semi-divines invading would mean the sequential conquest of Feixing and other planets until their final annihilation.


    But if the other Third Level Star Realms fall, massive invasions by Flying Heaven Level Alien Races would be equally disastrous.


    Like the crisis on Lantie Star, it seemed like the Seven Star Civilization held its ground.


    But at what great cost? A few months was not enough time for reconstruction.


    ¡°We must prioritize guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai spoke gravely, ¡°This is the foundation¡­ Our teacher set up an Origin Power Array at the entrance of the Demon Mountain Star Realm, this array faintly merges with the entirety of Feixing, and semi-divines inside will have their strength greatly enhanced, the more there are, the stronger the might displayed by the array.¡±


    ¡°So, Semi-Divine Middle Rank experts from other planets must come as soon as possible,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Even the Semi-Divine Initial Rank experts should come if they can.¡±


    ¡°We must block the enemy at the entrance.¡±


    A single statement.


    The Demon Mountain Star Realm was the most crucial, otherwise, hundreds of semi-divines invading was simply indefensible.


    ¡°What about the other planets?¡± Xin Yu Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What should we do? Like this crisis on Lantie Star, those three Alien Race Semi-Divines, their strength was terrifying, and Semi-Divine Initial Rank couldn¡¯t withstand them.¡±


    ¡°Leave the bare minimum of semi-divines on each planet,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s gaze was intense, ¡°Then, we¡¯ll rely on Li Yuan and his Spirit Beast.¡±


    ¡°Rely on me?¡± Li Yuan was initially startled, then immediately understood Fang Hai¡¯s intention.


    ¡°Can I freely traverse the major Star Realms and thus provide support to the Six Great Planets at any time?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength was not comparable to Semi-Divine Peak.


    But in terms of rescue and support, he could arrive at any planet within a few hours, a feat other semi-divines definitely couldn¡¯t match.

 Chapter 697 - 375: Li Yuans Responsibilities (Bonus Chapter)

    Chapter 697: Chapter 375: Li Yuan¡¯s Responsibilities (Bonus Chapter)


    ¡°Since the Myriad Demons Civilization will definitely be aware,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said gravely, ¡°Feixing must undergo a large-scale migration. With the Origin Power Array, other trump cards left by the Dongfang Alliance Leader, and so many First Rank Star Masters¡­ our chances of victory are not low, it¡¯s ultimately not like over a hundred years ago.¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    The great war of Feixing more than a hundred years ago, at that time, the Seven Star Civilization had fewer than thirty demigods¡­ It was almost entirely dependent on Dongfang Ji.


    Times have changed.


    The Seven Star Civilization has grown stronger, even though Dongfang Ji perished, facing the Myriad Demons Civilization, they still have the power to fight.


    ¡°But we must consider defeat before victory, we must prepare for failure,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine continued, ¡°Apart from many treasures, the migration of Feixing is mainly about the population. I suggest primarily moving towards Heavenly Sea Star, Blue Star, and Firefly Star¡­ Not to mention Entry Rank Warriors, even the ordinary population must be relocated.¡±


    ...


    ¡°These,¡± he emphasized, ¡°are the future of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡±


    ¡°Migration is a must.¡± Everyone nodded again, only with a large population could Martial Path prodigies emerge, and only from a group of prodigies could a demigod emerge.


    ¡°Then, initiate the inheritance plan. The major planets should also try to move to the Second Level Star Realms we¡¯ve completely occupied, so that even if the great planets fall, we can preserve their vital energy and not be completely destroyed.¡± When Bai Shan Semi-Divine said this, he couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan, ¡°Fortunately, Li Yuan destroyed many Second Level Star Realms back then¡­ Now our space for survival will be much larger than before.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a great contribution.¡±


    Many demigods looked at Li Yuan, who had swept through many Second Level Star Realms back then; his contributions were still countable¡­ Now, they seemed immeasurable.


    You see, the environments of most Star Realms are harsh, not suitable for large populations to live in.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?0.?¦Ï


    But the many Second Level Star Realms that Li Yuan had destroyed were very suitable for living.


    Not to mention places like Mingxu Star Realm and Mystic Demons Star Realm, they could easily support billions of people.


    However, according to the experience accumulated over the past few centuries, the beings born in Star Realms mostly have very low Martial Path potential, and the hope of becoming Flying Heaven Warriors or even demigods is much lower than that of life born on planets¡­ Therefore, neither the Seven Star Civilization nor other civilizations have deliberately developed large breeding areas.


    Breeding a large population consumes immense resources.


    But now, merely as a temporary ¡®refuge¡¯, the numerous fully occupied Second Level Star Realms are crucial.


    ¡°Do I need to sweep through those Third Level Star Realms?¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.


    After the crisis on Lantie Star had ended, many Foreign Civilizations hoped for peace talks, but the time was too short, so very few actual treaties were signed with those civilizations.


    If he really wanted to act, with Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, he could sweep through most of the Third Level Star Realms.


    ¡°No,¡± Lant Semi-Divine shook his head, ¡°Li Yuan, sweeping through Third Level Star Realms is easy for you, ordinary demigods can¡¯t stop you, but we would struggle to hold them¡­ Doing this would only lead more Alien Civilizations to wage war against us.¡±


    ¡°Even if you temporarily wipe them out, once you withdraw, they can still emerge from the Third Level Star Realms¡­ Once we start fighting the Myriad Demons Civilization, they could join the battle, which would only magnify our troubles.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    As time passed, the nine powerful beings present gradually discussed and came up with various plans, and soon began to disperse, sending orders to their subordinates among the Flying Heaven Star Lords.


    Demigods mainly prepared for the upcoming decisive battle; this was the core.


    As for things like migration? Patrolling? Guarding Third Level Star Realms and so on, those were tasks for Flying Heaven Warriors and Origin Warrior Sect to handle.


    In the end, in the Starfire Realm, only Li Yuan and Fang Hai remained.


    ¡°Principal,¡± Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai, unable to hold back, ¡°Tell me, is the Dongfang Alliance Leader really gone?¡±


    Until this moment, Li Yuan still harbored hope.


    Perhaps Dongfang Ji was playing a larger game.


    ¡°Ah,¡± Fang Hai gave a bitter smile, ¡°I too hope teacher is still alive, but I have no need to lie to you. Even if the Soul Lamp is false, can Soul Control be faked? You also have Soul Servants; you should understand better than me.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    Indeed!


    Li Yuan practiced ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡±; he understood the techniques of Soul Control better than any other demigod.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be,¡± Li Yuan clenched his teeth.


    ¡°I find it hard to accept too. Teacher, before he left, said it would be an easy journey and that he would return after a while, how could it¡­ But this is reality,¡±a trace of bitterness flickered across Fang Hai¡¯s face.


    Then, Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ll be honest with you, among all the demigods in our civilization, there¡¯s none I trust completely, you are the one I trust the most.¡±


    ¡°Trust none?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted.


    Not even Lant Semi-Divine or Bai Shan Semi-Divine?


    ¡°Teacher handed the Seven Star Civilization into my hands, so I must be extremely cautious,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°I must be absolutely rational, and must not let emotions cloud my judgment.¡±


    Li Yuan listened silently.


    ¡°The other demigods, it¡¯s very difficult for them to ascend to divinity, so if they want to surrender, the Myriad Demons Civilization might accept them,¡± Fang Hai stated solemnly, ¡°Only you and I¡­ unless we are willing to be controlled by Soul Control, the Myriad Demons Civilization will never allow us to survive.¡±


    ¡°We pose a great threat to the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    Other demigods had a way out, but he and the principal did not.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you and your Heavenly Serpent Spirit Beast, your main task is to help defend the Six Great Planets,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Secondly, there are a few important tasks for you.¡±


    ¡°Principal, what is it?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Take away the Divine Artifact Chamber, Star Technique World, and Martial God Inheritance,¡± Fang Hai stated gravely, ¡°These three are the most important legacies of our entire civilization¡­ I have to stay to defend Feixing, and there¡¯s a risk I might perish, so you will take these items away.¡±


    Li Yuan was deeply moved.


    The so-called Martial God Inheritance, among other things Li Yuan had entered, he naturally understood their significance.


    What trust this was.


    ¡°Once you¡¯ve taken them away, bring the Divine Artifact Chamber to each planet, meet every demigod,¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°Allow these demigods to choose two ordinary Divine Artifacts each from the chamber.¡±


    ¡°First Rank Star Master, you may choose one superior Pseudo-God Artifact,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°At the moment of civilization¡¯s life and death, we cannot be bothered with rules¡­ we must strengthen everyone¡¯s power as much as possible.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The Divine Artifact Chamber contained hundreds of artifacts, invaluable¡­ It was not reliable to entrust them to other Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Only I can reach different planets quickly.


    ¡°Anything else you want to ask?¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Principal, I want to know, why are you and Lant Semi-Divine so certain that the Myriad Demons Civilization would know about the fall of the Dongfang Alliance Leader?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask, as this was his most puzzling point.


    ¡°Soul Control,¡± Fang Hai said directly. ¡°The teacher has controlled the souls of two Demigods from the Myriad Demons.¡±


    ¡°Among the controlled Demigods, one holds an extremely high position within the Myriad Demons Civilization, named Ye An,¡± Fang Hai sighed.


    Li Yuan was surprised.


    Ye An Demigod?


    This!


    That was the number one Demigod of the current Myriad Demons Civilization, possessing Semi-Divine Peak strength, yet he was controlled by Dongfang Ji¡¯s soul?


    ¡°Was it during the battle over Feixing more than a hundred years ago?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Fang Hai did not hide it.


    Li Yuan marveled; during the battle over Feixing, only Ye An Demigod had escaped back to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ That was one of Ye An Demigod¡¯s famous battles, and unexpectedly, it turned out that he was secretly let go by the Alliance Leader.


    Absolutely unimaginable.


    However, this also clarified for Li Yuan why, during battles like the one in Ming Xu Star Realm, their side always seemed to have advanced intelligence on the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ If the leader of the opposing side was a mole, how could they not know the intelligence?


    This also reminded Li Yuan of Xue Yan, whom he controlled.


    According to the message he sent back, Xue Yan had already broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°If the teacher really has fallen, then those two Demigods must have regained their freedom,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°As long as they are not foolish¡­ they will surely report to the East Demon Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded understandably, no wonder Fang Hai and the others were certain that the news of Dongfang Ji¡¯s fall could not be concealed.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°Principal, I¡¯m still puzzled, why must I take over as Vice Alliance Hierarch now?¡±


    Logically, there was no need to rush.


    ¡°Do you know why we are holding this meeting in the Starfire Realm?¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°There are places for alliance meetings.¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    That was another curious point for him.


    ¡°The Starfire Realm is the ¡®place of authority granting¡¯ left by the teacher, where the Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch are inaugurated,¡± Fang Hai solemnly said. ¡°Only here, by obtaining approval from more than half of the Demigods of our civilization, can we gain the recognition of the Starfire Realm and truly be Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    Li Yuan seemed thoughtful.


    A place of authority granting?


    ¡°You becoming Vice Alliance Hierarch, already have the authority key,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Soon, Elder Yun will find you again and will tell you the real secret of Blue Star, and you will understand.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Elder Yun had not appeared just now, and he was somewhat puzzled, so it turned out he would look for him again.


    ¡°By the way, Alliance Leader,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°I also specialize in the technique of soul control¡­ Those imprisoned Alien Race Demigods on Feixing, could I try to control them?¡±


    ¡°You?¡± Fang Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, ¡°Indeed, you have controlled Sang Qiu Demigod¡­ There are 28 imprisoned Alien Race Demigods; once you finish handling the artifacts, come immediately to Feixing, and I will have Senior Lant take you there to attempt.¡±


    ¡°But your soul hasn¡¯t reached the Pseudo-God Level yet,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°Then the hope is not great,¡± Fang Hai sighed. ¡°These imprisoned Demigods are basically at the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine Peak?¡± Li Yuan was startled inwardly.


    The Dongfang Alliance Leader had captured so many Semi-Divine Peak experts? How did he manage that?


    Indeed, troublesome.


    Even ordinary Demigods were not something Li Yuan was sure he could overpower, let alone those at the Semi-Divine Peak? There was even less hope.


    ¡°The teacher is a Pseudo-God Level soul¡­ even he has difficulty forcibly controlling them and relies on time to wear down their will to resist, eventually making them bow, but these years, only two have been controlled,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Pseudo-God Level soul? Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    It was rare for someone in the Flying Heaven Realm to possess a Semi-Divine Level soul, not to mention a Demigod possessing a soul of the Void God Realm¡­ This was even more rare and unusual than an unbeatable Demigod.


    But considering the other party was Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan was not surprised.


    ¡°Then we can only try negotiations,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Negotiations?¡± Fang Hai was momentarily stunned.


    Quickly, Li Yuan voiced his thoughts, and upon hearing them, Fang Hai nodded, ¡°That can be considered.¡±


    How many Semi-Divine Peak experts are there in the Seven Star Civilization altogether? If Li Yuan could control a few Demigods.


    Then, the lack of peak combat power would be greatly alleviated.


    After discussing everything.


    Li Yuan¡¯s thought also left the virtual network¡­ because he had just received the latest message from Elder Yun.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan, come immediately to Xia Country Capital.¡±

 Chapter 698 - 376: Gu Yous Gift! Blue Stars Base

    Chapter 698: Chapter 376: Gu You¡¯s Gift! Blue Star¡¯s Base


    Warship, inside the Quiet Cultivation Room.


    ¡°Little Ice, you¡¯ve already been informed about the situation in detail.¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing, who was coiled around his arm, and said directly, ¡°Do you have any good solutions?¡±


    With the strength of his soul as it was now, Li Yuan only needed to divert a trace of his thoughts to enter the virtual network.


    Therefore, during the exchange in the Starfire Realm, Li Yuan had already conveyed the related messages to Little Ice and Gu You.


    He wanted to see if they had any methods.


    ¡°There¡¯s no particularly good solution, Big Brother.¡± Liu Bing responded, ¡°If it were one or two especially powerful Demigods, even Semi-Divine Limit Experts, we could simply use the Secret Treasure¡¯s killer move¡­ But with a civilization war, we¡¯re talking about hundreds of Demigods.¡± S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    ¡°And there¡¯s a chance that it¡¯s not only the Myriad Demons Civilization that will take action; the scale is too large.¡±


    ¡°As for the Origin Power Array, as you said, Big Brother, the one left behind by Dongfang Ji is already extremely strong. It won¡¯t be stronger than what Qiu the senior provided, after all. Without Pseudo-Gods, the entire Seven Star Civilization can¡¯t fully utilize too powerful a treasure.¡± Liu Bing said.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed, indeed, no matter how powerful a treasure was, one needed enough personal strength to wield it.


    Like the life-saving secret treasure Sister Gu You gave him, he only gained full control after he stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth.


    Secondly.


    This was ultimately a war that the Seven Star Civilization was going to face, and Li Yuan knew it had nothing to do with Liu Bing¡­ Liu Bing had her own destiny.


    ¡°Little Ice, this time, I still have to ask for your help.¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Big Brother, I will definitely fight alongside you, just like with the Lantie Star incident.¡± Liu Bing smiled and said, ¡°I have a good impression of the entire Seven Star Civilization, not to mention there are quite a lot of delicious things.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but show a smile.


    Over these past few months.


    He had been stationed at Kunlun Martial University for a long time, but Liu Bing, ever since refining the token and becoming a ¡®Civilization Minister¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization, would often wander around the cities near Kunlun Martial University.


    With her strength, she could shrink her body to two meters in length, distort the light to cast an illusion, disguising her appearance as a normal human, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect her.


    Such a life was also novel for Liu Bing.


    ¡°Only this time it¡¯s different, Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan said as he looked at Liu Bing. ¡°During the crisis on Lantie Star, the threat to us wasn¡¯t great¡­ But this time, if a war truly breaks out as anticipated, it¡¯ll likely be very brutal. I hope you can help, but if it comes to a dangerous moment, you should flee, survive.¡±


    ¡°Flee?¡± Liu Bing shook her head immediately, ¡°Wherever Big Brother is, that¡¯s where I want to be.¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Li Yuan replied patiently, ¡°You are the Heavenly Serpent Clan¡¯s ¡®Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent,¡¯ and you have the responsibility and obligation to survive, to rebuild the Heaven Snake clan one day; that is what¡¯s most important for you¡­ If we truly reach a desperate moment, then you must survive and head to the Nine Leaves Star Realm or the Nine Mountains Star Realm alone.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you the locations of the Star Realms.¡±


    Liu Bing was stunned. Although she had tens of thousands of years of vague memories before she was born, deep down she yearned to rebuild her clan, but she was also extremely worried about Li Yuan.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Little Ice, you help me this time, but just do your best.¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing, ¡°Never risk your life, and when I tell you to go, you have to promise me.¡±


    Liu Bing was silent for a long time. She could feel the resolute determination in Li Yuan¡¯s soul and finally spoke slowly, ¡°Okay, Big Brother, I promise you.¡±


    ¡°If we truly reach such a state, I swear, I will one day avenge the enemies of the Seven Star Civilization, I definitely will!¡± Liu Bing said.


    Li Yuan smiled, it was good that Liu Bing wasn¡¯t stubborn.


    ¡°Little Ice, you stay in the Kunlun Star Realm for now, I¡¯m going out for a bit.¡± Li Yuan instructed.


    ¡°Mhm.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan flew out of the warship and immediately waved his hand, creating a long shuttle treasure in his palm, engraved with nebula patterns, emitting a rather mysterious aura.


    It was the top-grade Virtual Divine Artifact ¡®Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.¡¯


    Buzz~


    With a thought from Li Yuan, he executed the ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ and his body instantly grew larger, with his Origin Power¡¯s might also surging dramatically as potent Origin Power flowed into the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, causing this artifact to rapidly expand.


    ¡°Enter.¡± With a movement, Li Yuan entered the interior of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, his enormous body almost merging with the artifact as one.


    This artifact was different from a warship; the warship was constructed from multiple pieces, and even if engraved with an Origin Power Array, it wasn¡¯t a flawless whole; it had weaknesses, and thus, super powerful beings could breach the warship if they continuously attacked.


    But the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, which could only accommodate a few people and couldn¡¯t transform into anything significantly larger, was extremely sturdy.


    ¡°Extreme Void,¡± Second Layer. Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts spurred the vast and unfathomable Great Dao of Wind Origin in the cosmos, bringing into action the mystery of the ¡°Extreme Void¡± Second Layer.


    It caused the entire surface of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle to shine with a hazy green glow.


    The secret ¡®Extreme Void¡¯ technique contained within the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle had five layers.


    The First Layer required the True Meaning of Wind to reach Sixth Stage Perfection.


    The Second Layer required stepping into the Threshold of the Wind Law.


    The Third Layer required the Wind Law to reach the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage.


    ¡­


    The Fifth Layer required the Wind Law to reach the Perfection Level of the Seventh Stage, thus allowing the Divine Artifact¡¯s might to be used to its utmost limit.


    And Li Yuan, through months of persistent cultivation, had unknowingly stepped into the Threshold of the Wind Law and smoothly grasped the ¡®Extreme Void¡¯ up to the Second Layer.


    Such a Divine Artifact¡¯s secret technique was easy to comprehend, as the artifact¡¯s Origin guided it; once slightly understood, it could be used to perfectly execute the secret technique.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle immediately turned into a dazzling green light streaking across the skies, its speed far surpassing Li Yuan¡¯s own flight.


    ¡°Going all out, the flight speed can reach about 15 kilometers per second,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Although it is still far from Little Ice¡¯s speed, it has already surpassed the flight speed of most Semi-Divine Peak Experts.¡±

    Chapter 699: Chapter 376: Gu You¡¯s Gift! Blue Star¡¯s Base_2


    Liu Bing, that was someone who possessed extremely high Law Comprehension, combined with the Nine Layer Star Technique, and a top-grade Pseudo-God Artifact, to have such an exaggerated speed.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan hastened towards the Capital City at full speed, in the Ancient Divine Palace, his Divine Sense avatar was also communicating with Gu You.


    ¡°I can¡¯t do it either,¡± Gu You shook her head.


    ¡°Sister, is there really no way?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that there¡¯s no way; it¡¯s just that it can¡¯t be done right now,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Brother, you should know that I am not truly a living being¡­ Father entrusted the Ancient Divine Palace to me, granting me extremely high authority, and I trust you completely, so I am willing to give you as much help as I can within my authority.¡±


    ...


    ¡°That¡¯s why I followed you when you risked going into the Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t have a suitable weapon, and so I helped to refine a Divine Artifact.¡±


    ¡°But some things exceed the scope of my authority.¡±


    ¡°I cannot disobey Father¡¯s orders,¡± Gu You said. ¡°Unless you now pass the fourth challenge, I could bring out more of Father¡¯s special treasures.¡±


    ¡°Then, stopping an army of demigods should not be difficult,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°The fourth challenge?¡± Li Yuan fell silent.


    According to Sister Gu You, one normally needs to reach the Semi-Divine level and cultivate for a long time before there¡¯s hope to pass the fourth challenge¡­ Even for him, having spent too little time accumulating power in the Flying Heaven Realm, now breaking through to become a demigod would likely offer no hope of passing.


    ¡°Sister, sorry, I¡¯m making it difficult for you,¡± Li Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    Gu You possessed extremely high intelligence, but she must be something like a support AI, or a Spirit of a Haven, or a Magical Treasure; otherwise, she couldn¡¯t have lived for so long.


    Likewise, she had to obey the commands left by her master.


    There were some fundamental orders left by the Ancient Torch Divine that she could not defy. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Brother, things are far less dangerous than you think,¡± Gu You shook her head. ¡°The war has not broken out yet, maybe the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn¡¯t dare to start a war at all.¡±


    ¡°Even if the war breaks out, even if you fail, you can still retreat to the major Star Realms; it won¡¯t lead to the extinction of the civilization in the short term,¡± Gu You said. ¡°By that time, you just hide somewhere in the cosmic starry sky, and after several decades in concealed cultivation within the Ancient Divine Palace, not to mention a group of demigods, even Pseudo-Gods wouldn¡¯t be able to find you. With your talent, by then, you would likely possess invincible demi-godlike power.¡±


    ¡°Even power comparable to a Pseudo-God is possible.¡±


    ¡°Then, you can lead your clansmen in a counter-attack, and rebuilding the Seven Star Civilization will be a piece of cake,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°No!¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°No civilization can last forever, not even the mighty Heavenly Serpent Clan can avoid downfall; likewise, the Starry Sky Ancient City, which claims to have a legacy of hundreds of millions of years, has its day of falling, even the recognized strongest Divine Court will turn into ruins,¡± Gu You said in confusion. ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal for civilizations to rise and fall? The Seven Star Civilization with its population of hundreds of billions, having geniuses like you and Fang Hai, is already very fortunate.¡±


    Gu You did not understand Li Yuan¡¯s thinking.


    In her eyes, the crisis the Seven Star Civilization was facing was nothing at all.


    As long as Li Yuan could survive, she didn¡¯t care about the survival of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Sister, if I didn¡¯t have the power, it would be another matter, like if the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain erupts in turmoil tomorrow, threatening to destroy the entire Dimensional Plane¡­ I would have no choice but to watch helplessly.¡±


    ¡°But with the crisis at hand, I now have the strength, and I absolutely do not wish to witness that scene happen,¡± Li Yuan said gravely. ¡°I will go all out to prevent the war from erupting within our civilization.¡±


    ¡°I do not want to see Feixing¡¯s tragedy repeated.¡±


    The education he received since he was young.


    Everything he experienced after stepping onto the Martial Artist¡¯s path, from the Mingxu Star Realm to the Fish Spirit Tide, and then to the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Lantie Star crisis¡ªall of these shaped Li Yuan.


    He absolutely did not want the scenes of crisis seen in Lantie Star to be replayed on every planet.


    The disaster of Feixing was even more of a nightmare.


    Should it come to that, hundreds of billions of lives would be lost, countless flourishing cities would become ruins.


    ¡°Do you really need to go all out?¡± Gu You shook her head.


    ¡°If the situation becomes truly irretrievable, I will retreat,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly. ¡°I am well aware that only by surviving can we maintain the last hope.¡±


    ¡°Alas,¡± the young girl said, ¡°I can¡¯t persuade you; so be it¡­ I will help you one more time within the limits of my authority.¡±


    ¡°Your Divine Sense projection, it has reached the Hundred Battles Chamber,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    ¡­In the Ancient Divine Palace, inside the Hundred Battles Chamber, which primarily contained a very vast Hundred Battles Arena.


    However, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t been there in a long time.


    ¡°Look below,¡± Gu You pointed at the empty Hundred Battles Arena, whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!


    Immediately, large amounts of silver liquid rose up on the arena, and then quickly solidified to form humanoid figures, each wearing Combat Armor and holding a weapon, densely packed together.


    They appeared as a rigorously disciplined army formation.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The Hundred Battles Arena was suddenly filled with as many as several thousand Silver Armored Warriors exuding powerful presences, neatly aligned, as if carved from stone.


    ¡°What are these?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Each of these silver armor puppets possesses Flying Heaven Peak strength,¡± Gu You said. ¡°And when they form an array with each other, if ten combine, they can barely contend with a Flying Heaven Limit Expert.¡±


    ¡°There are a total of three thousand of them.¡±


    ¡°I can temporarily give them to you,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan. ¡°This is the greatest extent of help that I can offer.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Wasn¡¯t this equivalent to having three thousand Flying Heaven Peak Experts?


    Although the Seven Star Civilization had tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, only so many could likely reach the level of the Flying Heavenly Palace.


    ¡°These are merely Heavenly Level puppets; they cannot withstand an army of demigods, but with them, your defense of the various Second Level and Third Level Star Realms will be much easier, and greatly help reduce casualties among your civilizational populace,¡± Gu You said.

    Chapter 700: Chapter 376 Gu You¡¯s Gift! Blue Star¡¯s Base_3


    ¡°Sister, thank you,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°No need to thank me, since you are Father¡¯s only Direct Disciple and my hopes are all on you,¡± Gu You said solemnly, ¡°I only hope one thing, do as much as you can handle and survive.¡±


    Time passed.


    Under Gu You¡¯s guidance, Li Yuan gradually learned how to control these Flying Heaven puppets.


    ¡­


    Externally, Li Yuan had piloted the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle to the skies above the Xia Country Capital.


    ...


    In the void, Bai Shan Semi-Divine had been waiting for him here, their Semi Divine Level Perception Ability allowing them to easily sense each other.


    ¡°Bai Shan senior,¡± Li Yuan approached.


    ¡°Yun Lao has already messaged me,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°Follow me, Dongfang has hidden secrets on various major planets, like Feixing having established some mysterious bases¡­ on Blue Star, Dongfang also established a base.¡±


    ¡°And it¡¯s in Xia Country,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°I am the only one who knows the location of this base.¡±


    A base? A thought flickered in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, the Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s base on Feixing, even holding Semi-Divine Peak Experts.


    ¡°What¡¯s inside this base?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°Many things, apart from Dongfang himself, only Yun Lao knew,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine sighed, ¡°Now that Dongfang is gone, it¡¯s handed down to Fang Hai and you, according to Yun Lao¡¯s words¡­ These things are the last resort when the Seven Star Civilization faces a dire crisis.¡±


    ¡°We mustn¡¯t use it unless it¡¯s a last resort,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°A last resort?¡± Hope also rose in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two of them crossed the Capital City, coming to the continuous mountain ranges on the north side of the city.


    Deep within the mountain, there was a highly guarded base, the outside world merely considering it a military base.


    The two streaks of light quickly reached the deepest part of the base.


    Here, even the soldiers guarding the place could not step foot, with covers everywhere, it just appeared like a dense forest from afar.


    But under Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense, he discovered the entrance, the entrance was not big, only about three meters high.


    The surface was completely cast from silver Metal, resembling a round door.


    ¡°This is the place,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Hm?¡± A flicker of surprise passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, his Divine Sense dispersed, but he found it couldn¡¯t penetrate the silver Metal at all, a material that could block Divine Sense Inquiry¡­ He continued his inquiry along the silver Metal shell downward.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, a model immediately appeared.


    ¡°This seems to be a downward circular conduit.¡± Li Yuan was shocked inside, ¡°My Divine Sense Inquiry has a radius of nearly eight kilometers, yet it can¡¯t perceive the end? How deep is this conduit?¡±


    ¡°Did you perceive it?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, speaking in a low tone, ¡°Senior, how should we get in?¡±


    ¡°Just stand at the doorway,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°This is what Yun Lao said.¡±


    Although Li Yuan found it strange, he still flashed in front of the silver Metal conduit, two meters away.


    The next second.


    Hiss~ It seemed like an invisible fluctuation swept over Li Yuan¡¯s entire body.


    ¡°Authentication check, Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Star Civilization, recognized by the Starfire Realm, permission to enter,¡± a mechanical voice sounded.


    The silver Metal door instantly cracked open, revealing a deep conduit.


    Li Yuan nodded, speaking in a low tone, ¡°Senior, how should we get in?¡±


    ¡°Just stand at the doorway,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°This is what Yun Lao said.¡±


    Although Li Yuan found it strange, he still flashed in front of the silver Metal conduit, two meters away.


    The next second.


    Hiss~ It seemed like an invisible fluctuation swept over Li Yuan¡¯s entire body.


    ¡°Authentication check, Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Star Civilization, recognized by the Starfire Realm, permission to enter,¡± a mechanical voice sounded.


    The silver Metal door instantly cracked open.

 Chapter 701 - 377 A Group of Semi-Divine Peak

    Chapter 701: Chapter 377 A Group of Semi-Divine Peak


    Whoosh! Li Yuan¡¯s gaze sharpened, and his body moved swiftly as he rushed into the dark cave.


    As soon as he entered the cave.


    Buzz~ Before him, a circular tunnel less than two meters in diameter suddenly brightened as if it were broad daylight, reaching straight to the deepest part.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped, turned his head, and looked towards Bai Shan Semi-Divine standing at the entrance of the cave. ¡°Senior Bai Shan, why don¡¯t you come in?¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine was about to speak.


    ¡°He can¡¯t come in.¡± A cold voice rang out, and in an instant, a large amount of light converged, forming the phantom of an old man in a white robe within the passage.


    ...


    ¡°Master Yun.¡± Li Yuan recognized the person.


    ¡°Master Yun.¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said likewise, ¡°Since you appear, you should explain the cause to Li Yuan.¡±


    Master Yun nodded, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Follow me, I¡¯ll explain as we walk.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Master Yun¡¯s phantom flew ahead, and Li Yuan followed behind, both of them not flying particularly fast.


    ¡°Leaders within civilizations, even semi-divines, occasionally travel along plane passages, leaving the dimensional plane to venture between the starry sky space rifts,¡± Master Yun explained. ¡°Even the master, for the past hundred years, aside from his occasional journeys to the Nine Mountains World, passing several trials¡­ also occasionally journeyed into the starry sky rifts.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively, realizing that the vast Mortal Domain lay among many dimensional planes, enshrouded by substantial regions of starry sky rifts.


    Like the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, it was located within a starry sky rift.


    The descending deities from days of old, those divine wars, all erupted within the starry sky rifts.


    ¡°Like those imprisoned semi-divines on the Flying Star Base, they are captured starry beings by the master,¡± Master Yun said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    Starry beings?


    He had seen similar descriptions in divine realm annals; in the vast universe, numerous bizarre beings were born.


    These beings were mostly born powerful but had a hard time reproducing and finding others of their kind.


    ¡°The path of cultivation, mere tranquil meditation will not make one powerful. The master¡¯s strength improved through enduring many hardships,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°But what adventurous ventures are entirely safe? Therefore, before every dangerous venture, the master made numerous contingency plans¡­¡±


    ¡°After Fang Hai returned from the Nine Leaves World¡­ it confirmed something for the master, even at the most perilous moment, the Seven Star Civilization would not be entirely extinguished, at most suffering some hardships,¡± Master Yun said.


    ¡°Therefore, the master decided to go to the Nine Mountains World, embarking on the last and most critical venture,¡± Master Yun said somberly. ¡°After all, to protect the civilization, the master had already delayed for a long time, waiting for long.¡±


    ¡°The master had longed to go for a while.¡±


    Something in Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    The timing of Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s departure was exactly when the principal became semi-divine and took over as the Vice Alliance Hierarch.


    ¡°Unfortunately.¡± Master Yun slightly shook his head, sighing softly.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    Regrettably, in this life-and-death venture, the Alliance Leader had perished.


    ¡°Though the master is dead, the various treasures he left will still be effective,¡± Master Yun halted his steps. ¡°But one must have sufficient authority to be eligible to enter the base; for instance, attempting to enter, Bai Shan Semi-Divine would be killed.¡±


    ¡°Authority?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    The Vice Alliance Hierarch?


    ¡°Many bases on Flying Star can only be accessed by the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°This base on Blue Star, only the Vice Alliance Hierarch can control.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately recalled what Bai Shan Semi-Divine had just mentioned about convening a meeting in the Starfire Realm.


    The purpose was to officially select a new Alliance Hierarch, Vice Alliance Hierarch.


    This still left a hint of doubt in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Even if the Dongfang Alliance Leader had demon servants within the Myriad Demons Civilization, after gaining freedom, would the demon servants necessarily leak information?


    What if no information was leaked?


    Besides, while the likelihood of a traitor among the First Rank Star Masters was minuscule, with dozens of semi-divines, could there be any controlled covertly by soul manipulation?


    After all, both Dongfang Alliance Leader and Li Yuan could control other strong beings¡¯ souls; similarly, within Seven Star Civilization, strong beings could be under soul control.


    Most importantly, why the process of ¡®semi-divine public recognition¡¯ necessarily in the Starfire Realm?


    Ultimately, because of his high status and ownership of much information, it perpetually left Li Yuan puzzled.


    However, since both Fang Hai and Master Yun repeatedly confirmed Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s fall, Li Yuan could only accept the reality.


    ¡°No matter what.¡±


    ¡°Prepare for the worst,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn¡¯t attack, so be it, but if they do come¡­ then we only can fight with all our might!¡±


    A moment later.


    Li Yuan, following Master Yun, arrived at the deepest part of the passage where a vast hall stood.


    At a glance, Li Yuan saw the massive spherical device at the center, dimly floating, its diameter surely over a hundred meters, adorned with countless complex glimmers, gleaming resplendently, undoubtedly the most sophisticated technology he had ever seen.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°This is the mainframe of the Blue Star virtual network,¡± Master Yun said gruffly. ¡°It is also one of the three major virtual network mainframes of the Seven Star Civilization, a Sixth Rank mainframe.¡±


    ¡°Such mainframes for your virtual network, even in the Divine Realm, are among the highest echelons, enough to become the core of a civilization,¡± Master Yun said proudly.


    ¡°The core of the virtual network?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    He instantly recalled something Gu You had said before, who had tried to intrude into the Blue Star virtual network and failed.


    At that time, Gu You speculated that the Blue Star virtual network mainframe was exceedingly high-end.


    Now, it appeared to be true.


    ¡°Decades ago, in 2007, the master ventured into the Nine Mountains World¡­ ultimately bringing back the three major virtual mainframes,¡± Master Yun looked at Li Yuan. ¡°They are installed on Flying Star, Blue Star, and Heavenly Sea Star.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod; the virtual network only commenced in 2009.


    With the virtual network, the whole Seven Star Civilization¡¯s resource distribution and Martial Path talent selection efficiency were greatly enhanced again.


    ¡°This virtual host is controlled by me, you just need to know that it¡¯s here,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°I brought you here mainly for you to acknowledge the ¡®Guardian Legion¡¯ here.¡±


    ¡°Guardian Legion?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, understanding that this was the real hidden secret.


    Huu!


    Stepping past a virtual network host that flashed continuously, Li Yuan passed through the grand hall, turned down a corridor, and crossed a layer of light screen ripples that could block Divine Sense Inquiry.


    He then suddenly discovered another mysterious hall.


    This domed hall was even more spacious, with a height exceeding eight hundred meters and a ground diameter of over two kilometers¡­ There definitely wasn¡¯t such a magnificent structure on Blue Star.


    The entire hall was shrouded in haze.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan immediately saw ten uniform figures standing in the center of the hall.


    Each figure was about three meters tall, clad in thick black Combat Armor, each holding a huge Divine Sword, heads bowed and eyes closed, their expressions cold, faintly emitting a powerful aura¡­ At first glance, they seemed like humanoid beings.

    But Li Yuan had already confirmed that they were not real living beings.


    ¡°[Target Level 45, no life characteristics, unable to kill for Spirituality Nourishment]¡±


    ¡°[Target Level 45¡­]¡± Li Yuan directly employed Divine Palace Exploration.


    These were similar to the three thousand Soaring Sky Peak Puppets he already controlled in terms of special attributes.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Peak Puppets?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, feeling astonished.


    Semi-Divine level puppets!


    The strength of each puppet, as it rose greatly in rank, soared in value because puppets feared neither death nor disobedience and could last for an extremely long time.


    A Semi-Divine Peak Puppet, thousands of Fangshen Crystals could not buy one.


    But the Dongfang Alliance Leader had left ten such puppets at Blue Star Base? How many semi-divines were there altogether on Blue Star?


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°These ten puppets are the guardian legion left by the master,¡± said Yun Lao somberly. ¡°When these ten join hands, along with the Planet Origin Force Formation, even if a Semi-Divine Limit Expert descends, they can assure victory¡­ Unless it is a Divine being, they essentially block anything.¡±


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°Is the master¡¯s ultimate defense strategy left for his home planet,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°Similar puppets number forty in total.¡±


    ¡°Ten are on Blue Star, ten on Heavenly Sea Star.¡±


    ¡°Twenty more are on Feixing.¡± Yun Lao looked at Li Yuan. ¡°The past master acknowledged them and authorized me, therefore guarding the planets was merely a trivial task for me¡­ But the current crisis lies crucially on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°The master has perished, leaving them ownerless.¡±


    ¡°Thus, you need to bring all twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets from Blue Star and Heavenly Sea Star to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°When you do, Feixing will have forty Semi-Divine Peak strength puppets joining the battle, which will significantly boost Feixing¡¯s defensive forces,¡± said Yun Lao.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, his heart throbbing with excitement.


    Heavens!


    Forty Semi-Divine Peak combat forces? How many Semi-Divine Peak beings did the Seven Star Civilization have at present?


    Even in the Myriad Demons Civilization, the number of Semi-Divine Peak experts was only about a hundred.


    Instantly, Li Yuan felt the hope of holding the Demon Mountain Star Realm entrance surge.


    ¡°But, Li Yuan, remember this,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°These Semi-Divine Puppets have their flaws. Firstly, their realms are not high enough; they rely on their strength and speed to unleash such formidable combat power, hence they excel at direct combat but may easily be manipulated by enemies with high Law Comprehension.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    ¡°Secondly, they have an Energy Core inside them, constantly converting Heaven and Earth Origin Power for their use; their ¡®Energy Storage¡¯ is currently full, but this is a result of long-term accumulation, and their conversion rate does not match even one hundredth of a true semi-divine,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°In semi-divine level confrontations, energy consumption is extremely rapid¡­ With extended time, their stored energy will be depleted, requiring the use of Divine Crystals as an energy source.¡±


    ¡°Forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, if they all consume Divine Crystals at the same time¡­ the expense is staggering.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, do not deploy them lightly,¡± Yun Lao advised.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Although consuming Divine Crystals was costly, it was definitely a last resort, a killing move.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Recognize the master.¡± With Yun Lao¡¯s help, Li Yuan acknowledged each Semi-Divine level Puppet one by one.


    Such powerful puppets were much more difficult to master than the thousands of Flying Heaven Realm Puppets.


    Fortunately, Li Yuan¡¯s soul was strong enough to endure it.


    After a full half-hour.


    All were acknowledged.


    ¡°Master.¡± The ten Semi-Divine Puppets simultaneously opened their eyes, each gaze somewhat numb.


    ¡°You have a Cave Heaven Treasure, gather these puppets,¡± Yun Lao said somberly. ¡°Hurry, you still have many tasks to perform.¡±


    ¡°More than an hour has passed since the master¡¯s Soul Lamp extinguished.¡±


    ¡°The longer the delay, the greater the probability of an attack from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Yun Lao said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, then waved his hand, gathering the ten Semi-Divine Puppets into the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Immediately transforming into a stream of light, he flew along the corridor outward.


    Yun Lao¡¯s phantom remained standing in the grand hall until he sensed Li Yuan¡¯s departure disappear.


    Huu!


    An invisible wave swept past, and a three-meter-tall figure in a Golden Garment appeared,


    ¡°Yun Lao.¡± The figure in Golden Garment respectfully bowed.


    ¡°You¡¯re the only one left, are you confident you can hold out?¡± Yun Lao looked towards the elder in the Golden Garment.


    ¡°Yes!¡± declared the figure in the Golden Garment solemnly.

 Chapter 702 - 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization

    Chapter 702: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization


    Refining ten Semi-Divine Peak Puppets,


    Li Yuan once again met with Bai Shan Semi-Divine about three hundred kilometers from the center of Xia Country Capital in the sky above the mountain range.


    ¡°Bai Shan predecessor.¡±


    Li Yuan said, ¡°According to the Alliance Leader¡¯s orders, you and Dantai Semi-Divine are to stay on Blue Star, while the other demigods will set off for Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded and sighed, ¡°Given the speed of their warships¡¯ flight, it will take them more than a month.¡±


    Whether it¡¯s Fourth Rank spaceships or demigods, their speed of flight within a planet pales in comparison to that in the starry sky¡­ But traversing the universe isn¡¯t a simple matter of flying in a straight line.


    ...


    It¡¯s much more complicated.


    ¡°More than a month¡¯s time ¨C if the Myriad Demons Civilization launches an attack immediately, I fear the great battle would have already concluded,¡± Li Yuan said with a sigh.


    ¡°Though that may be the case, they must still go. Perhaps the Myriad Demons Civilization has yet to be aware,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°Anyway, without Dongfang here, we must gather most of the demigods at Feixing to hold our defense.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. Concentrating the demigods was a necessary measure.


    ¡°Bai Shan predecessor,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Although Blue Star has only the Wanhan Star Realm, a Third Level Star Realm, we must also be prepared. I have some Flying Heaven Level puppets, and I have ordered them to obey your commands.¡±


    ¡°Some Flying Heaven Level puppets?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded, not particularly concerned in his heart.


    After all, within the Seven Star Civilization, there were many Flying Heaven Level puppets, but most of them possessed only average strength and served merely as a supplement to defend the Second Level Star Realms.


    Li Yuan gestured with a wave of his hand.


    A swish~


    In an instant, centered around Li Yuan, the surrounding void filled densely with hundreds of silver-armored figures, each holding a weapon and exuding an impressive aura; their appearances were very similar¡­


    ¡°This? 800 of them?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s pupils contracted as his Divine Sense swept across to ascertain the exact number.


    Such a quantity was beyond his imagination.


    ¡°All these Flying Heaven puppets are at the Flying Heaven Peak level,¡± Li Yuan added.


    ¡°What? Flying Heaven Peak? All of them?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine was thoroughly shocked.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, even the Seven Stars Treasury did not possess puppets of this strength level for the semi-divine to exchange.


    But Li Yuan? He produced eight hundred all at once?


    This was truly astonishing.


    ¡°Remember this demigod¡¯s aura. For the next ten years, aside from myself, you all will obey his command,¡± Li Yuan instructed, pointing at Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the eight hundred puppets responded respectfully in unison, then they turned to Bai Shan Semi-Divine, ¡°Greetings, Semi-Divine.¡±


    The collective salute of eight hundred Flying Heaven Peak Puppets was quite shocking to Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    Although there were six thousand Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star, less than three hundred had reached the Flying Heaven Peak.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this power you¡¯ve obtained at the base¡­¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°the power left by Dongfang Alliance Leader is different; this power is all my own.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine was secretly astonished.


    ¡°However, the power left by Dongfang Alliance Leader is stronger,¡± Li Yuan remarked with feeling.


    Indeed, the Dongfang Alliance Leader, in preparing for the entire civilization, had nearly made every consideration.


    ¡°Bai Shan predecessor, how you deploy these puppets is up to you,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Mhm, with the addition of this group of Flying Heaven Peak Puppets, the entrances and exits of the major Second Level Star Realms will be solid as metal,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°As long as no new Third Level Star Realms appear, we will surely hold.¡±


    ¡°I will be leaving Feixing immediately, and I entrust my family to your care, elder,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely take good care of them,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine replied. He knew Li Yuan¡¯s experiences and understood that Li Yuan held his family and close friends in high regard.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine did not mind that Li Yuan had his own interests at heart.


    Everyone has their own interests; as a super strong being, one only needs to not exceed a certain limit.


    ¡­


    After parting with Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Li Yuan headed straight for the Lantis Continent.


    The entrance and exit of the Third Star Realm were situated on the Lantis Continent in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.


    Not long afterward.


    Whoosh! A streak of cyan light crossed the sky, rapidly approaching the flying Li Yuan.


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Liu Bing swiftly closed in.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded. As soon as he learned about his next tasks and responsibilities from Blue Star Base, he had sent a soul transmission to Liu Bing, telling her to catch up to him quickly.


    ¡°Little Ice, is everything arranged?¡± Li Yuan said through voice transmission.


    ¡°Yes, uncle and aunt are all settled; don¡¯t worry, big brother,¡± Liu Bing replied.


    ¡°Little Ice, time is pressing. Next, I need you to carry me, and we must travel through the various planets as quickly as possible,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly. Even using the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, his flying speed was far below Liu Bing¡¯s.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Boom!


    With terrifying speed, Liu Bing carried Li Yuan, swiftly cutting across the sky.


    ¡°Little Ice, your speed has increased?¡± Li Yuan was quite surprised.


    ¡°Yes, big brother, I am about to break through in my Law Comprehension, and my Escape Skill has improved,¡± Liu Bing said with pride. ¡°I estimate that within this year, I will reach the Seventh Stage High Rank.¡±


    Li Yuan inwardly marveled.


    No wonder she is the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, her cultivation speed is astounding. The more he interacted with her, the more Li Yuan could perceive the overwhelming power of this bloodline.


    A Law Comprehension reaching Seventh Stage Intermediate Rank is equivalent to the level of Semi-Divine Peak.


    To reach Seventh Stage High Rank would mean only one step away from Becoming Pseudo-God. As of now, within the Seven Star Civilization, probably no demigod has reached this level.


    ¡°Little Ice, I remember you once said that as your strength gradually increases and through the function of your bloodline, you would naturally come into contact with Space Law, right?¡± Li Yuan asked through voice transmission.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    While speeding through the sky, Liu Bing responded, ¡°According to my inherited memory, generally, when Law Comprehension reaches the Pseudo-God Level, or the Soul undergoes a Metamorphosis to the Pseudo-God Level, one might sense the presence of space fluctuations.¡± S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Chapter 703: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization 2


    ¡°But this is only a perception, just like those at the Flying Heaven Level can sense the mysterious fluctuations of heaven and earth, yet many in the Flying Heaven Realm are unable to condense the True Intent.¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God Powerhouses, who can truly step into the threshold of the Space Law, are also very few in number.¡±


    ¡°Space is the foundation of all things and spirits, therefore the Origin Great Dao of space truly dominates over the other seven major heaven and earth Origin Great Daos,¡± Liu Bing communicated telepathically.


    Li Yuan, having received many inheritances, naturally understood this.


    The entrance to the Space Law is extremely difficult, but just a slight comprehension¡­also yields terrifying might.


    ¡°However, once I become Semi-Divine, even if my Law Comprehension is slightly weak and has not reached the Pseudo-God Level (Seven Stages of Perfection), I will still sense the mystical fluctuations of space,¡± Liu Bing said.


    ...


    ¡°This is good news,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Big Brother, why are you suddenly inquiring about the Space Law?¡± Liu Bing asked curiously, ¡°Could it be, Big Brother, you have sensed the fluctuations of space?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about that later,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    Sensing the mystical fluctuations of space.


    Back then, when I first ventured into the Rob Sea Star Realm and condensed the rudimentary form of the True Meaning of Wind, I had already had a slight sensation¡­it¡¯s just too difficult to comprehend.


    Even after all these years, Li Yuan¡¯s strength has far surpassed that of the past, and his Law Comprehension has increased manifold, yet he still has only a vague perception.


    ¡°To this day, the Divine Palace interface has not given any prompt; clearly, not even a trace of the mystery has been comprehended,¡± Li Yuan lamented internally. ¡°Next, I need to prepare for the great battle.¡±


    ¡°Then, continue to cultivate, striving to completely transform Law Comprehension into strength, only by understanding the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ third style can my Spear Technique undergo another Transformation,¡± said Li Yuan, fire in his eyes.


    Although Semi-Divine puppets are important, the puppet has reached its limits in strength; meanwhile, my own potential is endless.


    However, even though I had stepped into the threshold of the Wind Law,


    the sheer Earth Law and Wind Law when applied alone are very weak in Might.


    I must integrate the Laws.


    But, integrating Laws is far more difficult than combining True Intents¡­over this period, although the Might of my Spear Technique has been continuously improving, the Mysteries of the two major Laws have not been perfectly integrated.


    ¡­


    When Li Yuan and Liu Bing swiftly headed to Feixing, many Demigods also began their journey toward Feixing from various planets. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization began deploying in all directions from top-down.


    This unusual change was quickly sensed by many spies from Foreign Civilizations embedded within the Seven Star Civilization, starting to transmit information back to their respective Civilizations.


    However, the vast majority of Foreign Civilizations were unclear about the situation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Except for the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Wan Mo Star, as the stronghold of the Eastern Demon Deity, aside from his residence here, also housed a large number of Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    After all, the closer one is to a deity during cultivation, the higher the likelihood of receiving guidance and the granting of treasures.


    Demigods held much esteem within the Myriad Demons Civilization, and most would build their own temples.


    Ye An Semi Divine, recognized as the ¡®Number One Demigod¡¯ within the Myriad Demons Civilization, had impressive strength. Thus, the residence he built was naturally extremely luxurious and spacious, located within one of the mysterious temples.


    Here, was the place where Ye An Semi Divine secluded himself for cultivation, inaccessible on normal days except by him.


    ¡°Ah~~¡± Ye An Semi Divine was writhing on the bed, his face laden with pain, and his body¡¯s outer layer of skin even appeared to seep droplets of blood.


    Too painful!


    It was an agony of soul tearing.


    ¡°Ah~¡± Even with Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s strong willpower, he could not help but let out bursts of low roars.


    Hissing sounds¡ªhis soul aura was continuously weakening, almost as if it was undergoing successive soul attacks¡­


    After a long while.


    Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s soul aura finally stabilized, and his facial expression also eased.


    ¡°I¡­ am free¡­to report to¡­¡± A series of messages flashed across his mind.


    Another moment passed.


    ¡°Phew.¡± Ye An Semi Divine eventually opened his eyes and sat up, murmuring to himself, ¡°I have regained my freedom? I have regained my freedom! ?? I am Ye An Semi Divine, once controlled by the Soul of Dongfang Ji of the Seven Star Civilization, now I am free.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, it can be deduced, Dongfang Ji is dead.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is dead, the biggest obstacle preventing the Eastern Demons Civilization from invading the Seven Star Civilization is gone,¡± Ye An Semi Divine murmured to himself, reinforcing the numerous messages.


    Soon afterward.


    Having continuously consumed several Soul Treasures, Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s soul aura slightly recovered to the Flying Heaven Peak Level, and he transformed into a stream of light, rapidly heading toward the Myriad Demons Hall.


    At the same time, he also transmitted his message to the Eastern Demon Deity.


    He had important matters to report.


    ¡­


    As the number one Demigod of civilisation and also emphasizing the urgency, it was quite easy for Ye An Semi Divine to seek an audience with the Eastern Demon Deity.


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall.


    ¡°Ye An, what happened to your soul aura?¡± the Demon Deity asked in shock, observing Ye An Semi Divine:¡±Were you attacked?¡±


    How could Ye An Semi Divine sustain such serious soul injuries within Wan Mo Star?


    ¡°Reporting to the deity.¡±


    ¡°Ye An admits guilt, hoping the deity will decree punishment,¡± Ye An Semi Divine knelt on the ground and spoke lowly: ¡°Previously, I was continuously controlled by the Soul of Dongfang Ji from the Seven Star Civilization and did many things harmful to the civilization; I am deserving of death.¡±


    As soon as he spoke, it left the Eastern Demon Deity in astonishment.


    Soul control?


    But a being like the Eastern Demon Deity reacted even faster.


    Boom!


    With a thought from the Eastern Demon Deity, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall, completely covering Ye An Semi Divine as well.


    It pinned Ye An Semi Divine down, rendering him immobile.


    As cultivation progressed to later stages, breaking through to higher realms mostly amounted to early peerless geniuses, thus, climbing ranks through combat became increasingly difficult.


    Like Ye An Semi Divine, possessing the strength of the Semi-Divine limit, facing a Pseudo-God Powerhouse, he virtually had no chance to resist.

 Chapter 704 - 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization_3

    Chapter 704: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization_3


    The voice of the East Demon Deity turned frosty, ¡°Ye An, do not resist, I must thoroughly investigate the depths of your soul.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ye An Semi Divine knelt on the ground, completely relinquishing control of his own soul, allowing the other to probe.


    Under normal circumstances, a semi divine would never be willing to do such a thing.


    Just a minor error from a deity could potentially cause one¡¯s soul to completely collapse.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°What a clever method of soul control.¡± The East Demon Deity kept probing, and finally found traces of soul imprint dispersion deep within Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s soul.


    ...


    Rustle~


    The East Demon Deity¡¯s Inquiry quickly retreated, but that terrifying oppression still lingered, suppressing Ye An Semi Divine.


    ¡°Ye An! You were actually under soul control!¡± The voice of the East Demon Deity remained frosty, faintly tinged with rage.


    He was indeed angry, and there was also a trace of fear.


    After all, he had to trust Ye An Semi Divine previously, so many tasks were handled by him, and many secrets of the civilization were known¡­ To think they had been surreptitiously under soul control?


    How many secrets could that have leaked?


    ¡°Forgive my anger, Divine.¡± Ye An Semi Divine clenched his teeth, his eyes reflecting a longing, ¡°I have failed your great kindness, I deserve death, but before I die, I wish to make a final contribution for our civilization.¡±


    ¡°Speak,¡± the East Demon Deity stared at Ye An Semi Divine.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°I was in the Feixing great war over a hundred years ago when Dongfang Ji¡­¡±


    ¡°Just recently, my soul imprint suddenly began to collapse,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said somberly, ¡°I am almost certain that it was because of Dongfang Ji¡¯s soul aura suddenly dispersing, losing control over me¡­ I suspect he has perished.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji perished?¡± The eyes of the East Demon Deity flickered, and through the recent Inquiry, he could mostly confirm that Ye An Semi Divine had been freed from soul control, which gave rise to many speculations.


    Now, even more so as he heard it directly from Ye An Semi Divine.


    However, it was too improbable.


    Having fought against Dongfang Ji for so many years, even going personally to kill him after hearing he was venturing in the Starry Sky Space Rift, and failing in the end.


    He knew how formidable Dongfang Ji was.


    How could such an exceptional monster just suddenly perish?


    ¡°Ye An! Are you trying to deceive me? To lure Myriad Demons Civilization into attacking the Seven Star Civilization?¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes turned icy, ¡°You were under soul control, now being free, why not carefully hide this affair of the soul? By revealing this¡­ aren¡¯t you afraid I could kill you in a fit of rage?¡±


    The East Demon Deity did not quite believe it deep down.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°I would never dare deceive you, I am indeed no longer under soul control; I believe Divine can deduce that upon Inquiry,¡± Ye An Semi Divine urgently stated, his eyes full of vengeful light, ¡°I come to report mainly out of hatred! I was enslaved, and I despise Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Dongfang Ji enslaving me, perhaps my Law Comprehension might have already reached the Seven Stages of Perfection.¡±


    ¡°But now that Dongfang Ji is dead, I wish more to exterminate the Seven Star Civilization!! To utterly avenge myself. I can¡¯t do it alone; only you, Divine, can accomplish this.¡±


    Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s body trembled, overwhelmed with excitement.


    ¡°Wrong!¡±


    ¡°Even if you want to seek revenge, there¡¯s no need to put yourself in such a perilous situation.¡± The Myriad Demons Divine remained calm, ¡°You could have secretly guided me, slowly revealing the truth.¡± S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Divine, if I were to slowly tell you in secret, it would be too late,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said urgently, ¡°Dongfang Ji has perished, and now the Seven Star Civilization is certainly not prepared for war¡­ Attacking right now would surely catch them off guard.¡±


    ¡°If we delay, waiting several months, until they gather a significant number of semi divines to the Myriad Demons Star Realm, it would then be difficult to attack.¡±


    ¡°The most important are Li Yuan and Fang Hai,¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke, ¡°Their strengths are increasing rapidly; if we wait a few more years before attacking, I fear they will have grown into the second and third Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°By then, it truly becomes hopeless for me to seek revenge.¡± Ye An Semi Divine suddenly kowtowed repeatedly, ¡°I hope Divine sees clearly.¡±


    ¡°I, Ye An, do not fear death; I only seek revenge!!¡±


    ¡°For the sake of the entire civilization, please make a quick decision, Divine.¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke earnestly.


    The East Demon Deity stared at Ye An Semi Divine.


    He kept observing him, sensing the fluctuations in his soul¡­ It seemed to genuinely come from the heart.


    What he said, was very likely the truth.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji¡¯s death cannot be fully confirmed,¡± the East Demon Deity concluded internally, ¡°But Ye An¡¯s actions should stem from his own will.¡±


    After thinking it through.


    ¡°Ye An!¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°According to the laws left by the True Gods of Myriad Demons, those controlled by an Alien Race, with involuntary hearts, once they regain freedom and manage to report¡­ are innocent.¡±


    ¡°Now, I will continue to detain you.¡±


    ¡°If it eventually proves your words are true, then I will release you again. Not only will you be innocent, but you will also have merit,¡± spoke the East Demon Deity, ¡°At that time, with Myriad Demons Civilization having conquered the Seven Star Civilization¡­ you will even have the opportunity to venture to the Nine Mountains World of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Divine.¡± Ye An Semi Divine exclaimed eagerly:


    ¡°I only wish to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°To eradicate them all!!¡±


    ¡­


    Having received the report from Ye An Semi Divine.


    The East Demon Deity hesitated no longer, immediately ordering the Inquiry of information in the Seven Star Civilization, searching for clues.


    ¡°Spare no expense!¡±


    ¡°Contact the semi divines within the Seven Star Civilization who provided us with information before, go contact them,¡± the East Demon Deity suppressed his excitement and gave the direct command, ¡°I need to know the latest situation of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Even though it was already 80% confirmed.


    But the East Demon Deity still could not afford to be careless.


    Soon thereafter, the East Demon Deity began receiving a large amount of information and started continuously analyzing useful data.

    Chapter 705: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization_4


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch replaced, Fang Hai becomes the Alliance Hierarch? Li Yuan as Vice Alliance Hierarch?¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji never showed up?¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has just started giving orders on various major planets, it seems they are secretly carrying out a relocation plan?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity mused as he reviewed the intelligence.


    He stood in the void, his gaze flickering: ¡°This intelligence¡­ could it be that Dongfang Ji is truly dead?¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall.


    ...


    Buzz~ Buzz~ A large amount of light converged, forming two figures that exuded a mysterious aura.


    ¡°East Demon, you just sent us a message that Dongfang Ji is really dead?¡± Qiong Jin Deity asked urgently, ¡°Where did you get this news?¡±


    ¡°It was my Ye An Semi Divine¡­¡± the Eastern Demon Deity quickly explained everything he knew.


    Although he did not like Qiong Jin Deity, the matter concerned the rise and fall of the entire civilization, so he could not afford to be careless.


    After Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity had listened,


    ¡°Could this be a trap set by Dongfang Ji?¡± Qiong Jin Deity frowned, ¡°If he really has fallen, the top echelon of the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t need to act so hastily. They should hide this news.¡±


    ¡°Now, although they have not mentioned Dongfang Ji¡¯s demise, even their Semi-Divine beings can¡¯t confirm it¡­ But their large-scale relocation operation is enough to indicate a major internal issue,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said.


    ¡°It¡¯s normal for them to take action,¡± Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°Dongfang Ji¡¯s control over Ye An is certainly known to the Seven Star Civilization¡­ They would worry that we might learn of the situation through Ye An and then attack.¡±


    ¡°Without Dongfang Ji, how could their remaining Semidivine beings withstand us? Naturally, they would consider a large relocation plan,¡± said Bei Yue Deity.


    Qiong Jin Deity frowned.


    What Bei Yue Deity said made sense, but he still felt that something was amiss.


    ¡°Furthermore,¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead, there¡¯s no need for him to set a trap,¡± Bei Yue Deity shook his head, ¡°With Dongfang Ji around, just wait another few decades or a century, by then Li Yuan and Fang Hai are fully risen, their three Divine beings, we simply wouldn¡¯t be able to shake¡­ That¡¯s also why we were considering a peace treaty.¡±


    Clearly, Bei Yue Deity believed Dongfang Ji had fallen.


    ¡°East Demon, as the leader of our civilization, what do you think?¡± Qiong Jin Deity said.


    ¡°Based on the existing signs, Dongfang Ji has fallen,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity spoke softly, ¡°The probability of Dongfang Ji setting a trap, exists as well!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about whether we dare to gamble.¡±


    Both Divine beings pondered, sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A gamble?


    ¡°The previous proposal for peace was rejected by the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said slowly. ¡°If we don¡¯t gamble, then whether Dongfang Ji is dead or the Seven Star Civilization continues to grow stronger, once Li Yuan and Fang Hai ascend to God, our hope is completely lost.¡±


    ¡°Even then, we would have to face the more brutal warfare from the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s retaliation,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly.


    A glint of light flashed in the eyes of both Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity, clearly aware of the enmity between their own and the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°If we gamble!¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead, then, we¡¯ll suffer heavy losses, but only the semidivine will die.¡± The Eastern Demon Deity spoke somberly, ¡°No matter how many die, it won¡¯t affect the three of us.¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji really is dead.¡±


    ¡°Taking advantage of the lack of convergence of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divine, Feixing¡¯s defenses being unprecedentedly weak, and Fang Hai and Li Yuan not yet fully matured, this would be the best opportunity,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said with an icy gaze. ¡°According to our intelligence, the passage to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is in Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Even if we can¡¯t annihilate the Seven Star Civilization, conquering Feixing should not be difficult¡­¡±


    ¡°Then, we can send a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors and Semidivine into the Nine Mountains and Nine Realms, to seize treasures and potentially existing inheritances.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, this could advance us further,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly. ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s start the war,¡± Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°We must act quickly, can¡¯t give the Seven Star Civilization more time to react.¡±


    ¡°Start the war.¡±


    ¡°Not aiming to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization, just to send a group of Semidivine into the Nine Mountains World,¡± Qiong Jin Deity likewise said, he being closest to his lifespan¡¯s limit, his heart was the most desirous.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Qiong Jin, then please recall your Direct Disciple ¡®Sha Kun¡¯,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity revealed a sinister smile. ¡°I know he has broken through, Ascend to God is imminent, let him lead the Semidivine army, for a decisive battle.¡±

 Chapter 706 - 379: The Coming War

    Chapter 706: Chapter 379: The Coming War


    ¡°East Demon, how did you know Sha Kun is my Direct Disciple?¡± a glimmer of light flashed through Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s eyes.


    He felt very shocked.


    In the publicly known intelligence of the Myriad Demons Civilization, none of their three great deities had taken any disciples¡ªafter all, the standards for divine beings to take disciples were quite high, with even Semi-Divine Peak Experts hardly entering their eyes.


    Secondly, the paths of cultivation had to be the same.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine, a somewhat famous Semi-Divine being in the current era of the Myriad Demons Civilization, was second only to Ye An Semi-Divine in reputation, and in terms of strength, could also be considered a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.


    Because of a grudge with the Eastern Demon Deity, Qiong Jin Deity had taken him as a disciple but had never leaked this news.


    ...


    Not long ago, Sha Kun Semi-Divine had a breakthrough, his Law Comprehension finally reaching the Seven Stages of Perfection Level, filling Qiong Jin Deity with immense joy. He believed all this was a secret, known to no one.


    How could he not be shocked that the Eastern Demon Deity knew it all clearly?


    ¡°Qiong Jin,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°I am the leader of a civilization. Anything I wish to know within our civilization is hardly kept from me.¡±


    ¡°Hmph! Big talk,¡± Qiong Jin Deity scoffed, ¡°Ye An Semi-Divine was controlled by Soul Control, how come you never noticed?¡±


    The Eastern Demon Deity frowned.


    This touched a sore spot for him; indeed, the fact that Ye An Semi-Divine was controlled had been an embarrassment to the always proud deity.


    ¡°Stop arguing, both of you.¡±


    ¡°Now that we have decided to wage war against the Seven Star Civilization, shouldn¡¯t we unite our efforts instead of quarreling at this time?¡± said Bei Yue Deity, ¡°Qiong Jin, has Sha Kun Semi-Divine truly had a breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°Yes, he has always been wandering through the numerous perilous areas in the Starry Sky, searching for opportunities, and had a breakthrough not long ago,¡± Qiong Jin Deity nodded, ¡°But he has been cultivating for over three hundred years and has higher aspirations in his heart, so he hasn¡¯t been in a hurry to Ascend to God.¡±


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Bei Yue Deity, upon receiving confirmation, said excitedly, ¡°With Law Comprehension reaching the Pseudo-God Level, his strength will certainly increase substantially. He should surpass the Semi-Divine Limit, nearly reaching the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    The Semi-Divine Limit is the limit that a Semi-Divine Expert can normally attain under conventional circumstances.


    And both the Seven Star Veins and Pseudo-God Level Law Comprehension are beyond this limit.


    ¡°He still can¡¯t be considered invincible among semi-gods, as it¡¯s only his Law Comprehension that made a breakthrough; his Star Meridian is not that strong, only a Six Star Pulse,¡± Qiong Jin Deity explained.


    ¡°Enough, his strength is such that he can easily withstand being besieged by hundreds of demi-gods,¡± Bei Yue Deity said with a smile, ¡°With him leading the army, plus dozens of Semi-Divine Peak Experts and hundreds of ordinary demi-gods¡­ we will surely be able to conquer the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Flying Star in one fell swoop.¡±


    Clearly, Bei Yue Deity greatly hoped for Sha Kun¡¯s participation in the war.


    ¡°I can¡¯t force him, I must ask his opinion,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said, ¡°Besides, even if he is willing to join the war, he is still beyond the Plane in the Starry Sky¡­ It will take half a month¡¯s time for him to return.¡±


    Although Qiong Jin Deity was dissatisfied with the Eastern Demon Deity, he was still very polite to Bei Yue Deity.


    Traveling through the gaps in the Starry Sky requires considerable time, even with numerous ¡®Star Gates¡¯ or wormholes to assist with traversing the distances.


    ¡°Half a month? That¡¯s too long,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity frowned.


    Speed is of the essence in war, and in his view, it would be best to gather a large number of demi-gods within a few days to end the war swiftly.


    ¡°Not slow at all.¡±


    ¡°East Demon, many demi-gods within our civilization are out adventuring; just gathering them will take a considerable amount of time,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°Moreover, are you planning to just kill your way through?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± asked the Eastern Demon Deity, puzzled.


    ¡°Just as you said, this could also be a trap set by Dongfang Ji,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°Therefore, we could test the waters once or twice¡­ first is to see if it¡¯s a trap.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, to gauge the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Defense methods, then plan our countermeasures accordingly.¡±


    ¡°Our number of demi-gods far exceeds that of the Seven Star Civilization, we can afford the attrition; even if we trade three for one, we could wear out all the demi-gods of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the end, when Sha Kun Semi-Divine returns, we will carry out the final battle,¡± Bei Yue Deity continued, ¡°Ideally, we would kill Fang Hai and Li Yuan in one fell swoop, as they are the biggest threats of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji were to die, and then we killed those two, our Myriad Demons Civilization would have the opportunity to occupy the Seven Star Civilization forever¡­ If we can¡¯t kill those two, we can only take some advantages.¡±


    ¡°Agreeable,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity nodded, finding Bei Yue Deity¡¯s reasoning sound.


    War should be approached with caution.


    From then on, the three great deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization set three war goals, from the least to the most important.


    Firstly, to confirm whether Dongfang Ji is alive through a probing attempt.


    Secondly, if unable to kill Li Yuan and Fang Hai, then to strive for the occupation of the Flying Star, sending a large number of Flying Heaven Realm and demi-gods unharmed into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.


    Thirdly, to exterminate Fang Hai and Li Yuan, completely occupying the Seven Star Civilization.


    After the three deities discussed the details,


    ¡°I¡¯ll go persuade Sha Kun Semi-Divine; he should come back,¡± said Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡­


    In reality, the vast majority of areas in the Mortal Domain are what¡¯s referred to as ¡®Starry Sky Space Rifts¡¯.


    Most of these areas are quite inhospitable, and the planets within the Starry Sky Space Rifts are mostly Dead Silence planets, which are even less likely to foster life¡­ It usually takes reaching the demi-god level to have sufficient capability to venture and traverse through the Starry Sky Space Rifts.


    Within the Dimensional Plane, due to the presence of the Origin Plane, the space is stable, and it¡¯s difficult for demi-gods to travel between different planets.


    However, in the regions of the Starry Sky Rifts, Space Rifts frequently appear, and Star Gates and wormholes that can cross the Starry Sky are everywhere.


    This makes it more convenient for demi-gods to travel through the Starry Sky.


    But it¡¯s also more dangerous.


    In a part of the Starry Sky quite distant from the Myriad Demons Civilization, there lies an incredibly vast ice planet.


    A million miles away from the planet, on a huge rock orbiting the planet, the celestial body is crisscrossed with ravines. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Chapter 707: Chapter 379 War is Coming_2


    A dark canyon.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! An invisible fluctuation was rhythmically pulsing from the center of the canyon, causing continuous shockwaves that extended outward, where a hazy yellowish light could be discerned deep within the canyon.


    In this glowing light, a figure about five meters tall, seemingly made of metal, sat in a black armor.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The figure in black armor opened its eyes and waved his hand, immediately sending out a stream of light that formed a vast screen in front of him.


    ...


    A mysterious figure appeared on the screen.


    ¡°Sha Kun,¡± Qiong Jin Deity spoke through the screen, looking at his direct disciple.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine responded respectfully.


    ¡°Has the news of your breakthrough been shared with others?¡± Qiong Jin Deity asked in a deep voice, ¡°Also, who else knows about our mentor-disciple relationship?¡±


    ¡°Leak my information?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine was startled, ¡°Teacher, very few people know, and among those who know about my breakthrough, only those few brothers in life and death¡­ They should all keep it secret.¡±


    ¡°How did the Eastern Demon Deity learn of it then?¡± Qiong Jin Deity shook his head.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine was slightly alarmed.


    ¡°Fine, that¡¯s not the point,¡± Qiong Jin Deity changed the topic, ¡°I¡¯ve contacted you because of another matter.¡±


    Quickly,


    Qiong Jin Deity shared the results of the discussions among the three deities with him.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji died?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine held his breath, somewhat in disbelief, ¡°How is that possible?¡±


    He truly found it hard to believe.


    Dongfang Ji, in his heart, was a peerless figure comparable to a deity¡­ Even though he had reached the Pseudo-God Level of Law Comprehension, he had never thought of contending with Dongfang Ji.


    They were not on the same level.


    ¡°Very likely,¡± Qiong Jin Deity stated, ¡°Whether you wish to participate in the battle, decide for yourself¡­ If you cultivate step by step in the Flying Heaven Realm, waking your Six Star Pulse, the chance of awakening the Seven Star Veins before lighting the Divine Fire, is very slim.¡±


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine nodded slightly; he was hesitant to break through immediately because he wanted to advance his Star Meridian further.


    But, the difficulty was too high.


    Even a breakthrough in Law Comprehension did not give him any hope.


    ¡°However, if you can enter the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, it¡¯s possible,¡± Qiong Jin Deity spoke in a low voice, ¡°You are my disciple, but I won¡¯t force you; the path of cultivation is yours alone.¡±


    ¡°If you participate, there is a risk to your life.¡± S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Therefore, decide for yourself.¡±


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes flickered, pondering for a long time.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m willing to risk it,¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine spoke gravely, ¡°Once I ascend to godhood, my foundation will be set, even if I can¡¯t awaken the Seven Star Veins, just awakening a single Nine Layers Star Vein would be worth it.¡±


    ¡°If I can awaken a Nine Layers Star Vein and assist it with the Nine Layer Star Technique, my chances of becoming a True God will significantly increase.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Qiong Jin Deity spoke, ¡°Then come back as soon as possible.¡±


    Not long after,


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine transformed into a streak of light and swiftly left the starry sky.


    ¡­


    ¡°All-out alert across all major planets in the Myriad Demons Civilization territories,¡± the Myriad Demons Civilization quickly issued the order.


    Although they were the aggressors, besides the Seven Star Civilization, the Myriad Demons Civilization had other enemies and thus had to be vigilant.


    ¡°Gather the Demigods.¡±


    ¡°All Demigods, immediately through ¡®Star Realm Passage,¡¯ go to the specified planets, keep it secret! Violators will be executed.¡±


    ¡°Retrieve the Divine Artifacts.¡±


    ¡°Prepare the Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°No need to ask for reasons, just obey the orders.¡± Command after command was issued, turning the entire Myriad Demons Civilization into a huge war machine that was fully operational from top to bottom.


    ¡­


    Internal migration preparations within the Seven Star Civilization, a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors mobilized.


    The war preparations of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ Despite all the actions of the two civilizations being kept secret and desperately hidden,


    the scale of the mobilization was too large, making it impossible to keep all the news hidden.


    Especially to some forces that were highly concerned with both civilizations.


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, Nine Clouds Sect.


    This was one of the most powerful sects in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and currently its leading sect.


    Above the mountains of the sect¡¯s holy land were layers of peculiar cloud vortexes with diameters exceeding a thousand kilometers; within which plenty of suspended palaces could be seen, forming the Nine Clouds Realm.


    Inside one of the grand halls in the Nine Clouds Realm.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has started a comprehensive migration plan? It seems like they anticipate their entire civilization to fall into warfare,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God, clad in a black robe, remarked while looking at two pieces of intelligence.


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization is also mobilizing its army, gathering Demigods?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Myriad Demons Civilization wants to invade the Seven Star Civilization again?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God quickly concluded, ¡°And the Seven Star Civilization believes it cannot hold them off?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head, ¡°According to the Elder Chi Yan, even the Initial Rank Pseudo-God powerhouses are no match for Dongfang Ji¡­ no matter how many Demigods the Myriad Demons Civilization has, they wouldn¡¯t be a match for Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji breaks through, even if he can¡¯t match me, he would be very close,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God speculated.


    He had been cultivating for over two thousand years and was already at the peak of the Pseudo-God Level.


    How long had Dongfang Ji been cultivating?


    The gap between Demi-God, Pseudo-God, and major realms is hard to bridge with sheer numbers.


    ¡°Even using our Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s strongest war formation, ¡®Void Qianyuan Formation,¡¯ which combines several hundred Demigods into one, achieving only Pseudo-God Level strength¡­ defeating Dongfang Ji would still be difficult,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God continued, shaking his head.


    He was very familiar with Dongfang Ji.


    Many Demigods from the Immortal Ruins Civilization had come into contact with Dongfang Ji in the starry sky space rifts.


    Without exception, Anyone who dared provoke him met their demise.


    ¡°The logic I understand, after battling with Dongfang Ji for so long, the Myriad Demons and Dongfang Ji would understand as well,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God pondered, ¡°But there are still signs of war¡­ That only means one thing.¡±

    ¡°Did Dongfang Ji perish? Or is Dongfang Ji trapped somewhere, unable to return to the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God thought to himself, a new thought suddenly emerging: ¡°Or perhaps, is Dongfang Ji laying out a plan?¡±


    Separated by such a distance, with limited intelligence, Yan Lin Semi-Divine could only guess, unable to confirm which possibility was more likely.


    ¡°Pass down the order.¡±


    ¡°Keep a close watch on the conflict between the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization,¡± instructed Yan Lin Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ...


    ¡­


    Regarding the Myriad Demons Civilization, they were not the only power on the side of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    ¡°Could the Myriad Demons Civilization truly be gearing up for war again? Do they have some information?¡±


    Within the Tianliang Civilization, a large group of demigods led by ¡®Jin Liang Semi-Divine¡¯ also received the news swiftly.


    Their relationship with the Myriad Demons Civilization was close.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Keep monitoring.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization hasn¡¯t called us to join the war yet,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said, ¡°we cannot act as cannon fodder either. How many demigods do we have in our entire civilization?¡±


    ¡°Keep a close watch.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, we will apply to join the war with the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Let the Myriad Demons Civilization take the lead; we will assess the situation. Order that our Second Level Star Realms and Third Level Star Realms bordering the Seven Star Civilization not engage in any provocative actions in the near future.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Seven Star Civilization, on Black Dragon Star.


    In a void obscured by clouds and mist, stood a rock tower, unmodern in its architecture, filled with an ancient aura.


    This stone tower, soaring over three hundred meters high, was like a mountain of stone, a holy site of Black Dragon Star.


    ¡°Yan Ming Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°among these Divine Artifacts, have you chosen any?¡±


    In front of Li Yuan floated a small temple, but inside the temple was a different world altogether, suspended with artifacts emitting powerful auras.


    It was the Divine Artifact Chamber.


    Li Yuan had left Blue Star for more than a day, first going to Feixing to collect Star Technique World, the Divine Artifact Chamber, and the All-Gods Inheritance Cave.


    After that, he tried to subdue the suppressed alien-race demigods at their peak¡­ all attempts failing.


    This was within Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    Without time for discouragement, Li Yuan immediately proceeded to Heavenly Sea Star to collect another ten Semi-Divine Peak Puppets.


    Finally, he began traveling to various planets, allowing the remaining demigods to each select two Divine Artifacts.


    In the past.


    Ordinary demigods within the Seven Star Civilization, due to their lack of wealth and treasures, many did not possess demigods.


    This war, for them, was also an opportunity.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch, I¡¯ll take these two Divine Artifacts,¡± said a man in a fiery red robe not far away.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! With a thought from Li Yuan, two streams of light flew out as Divine Artifacts, landing in front of Yan Ming Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Thank you, Vice Alliance Hierarch,¡± Yan Ming Semi-Divine said, bowing slightly.


    ¡°To give thanks, thank Dongfang Alliance Leader,¡± Li Yuan said with a light sigh, ¡°all of this is what Dongfang Alliance Leader left behind.¡±


    Only after truly taking control of the Divine Artifact Chamber, the All-Gods Inheritance Cave, and so on¡­ did Li Yuan realize what kind of foundation Dongfang Ji had left for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Yan Ming Semi-Divine,¡±


    ¡°Among the demigods guarding Black Dragon Star, you are the strongest,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly, ¡°besides two Divine Artifacts, I¡¯ll also leave a group of Flying Heaven Puppets for you to command, to help you safeguard Black Dragon Star.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Li Yuan¡¯s hand, the void immediately revealed densely packed hundreds of silhouettes.


    ¡°Four hundred Flying Heaven Puppets?¡± Yan Ming Semi-Divine was surprised.


    ¡°The might of these puppets, each lies at the peak of the Flying Heaven level,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°they will follow your commands¡­ Black Dragon Star is in your hands.¡±


    A total of 3000 Flying Heaven Puppets.


    On Blue Star and Heavenly Sea Star, Li Yuan left 800 Flying Heaven Puppets each, they were the two most important planets.


    The other four planets were each allocated 300-400 Flying Heaven Puppets.


    ¡°Understood, Yan Ming will not fail the trust placed in me,¡± Yan Ming Semi-Divine said earnestly.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The demigods left guarding the major planets¡­ were all considered by Fang Hai and Cloud Elder to have extremely low probabilities of being spies after their repeated deliberation.


    Like the Seven Demigods of Blue Star, they chose two from Xia Country to stay behind.


    Therefore, Li Yuan dared to entrust them confidently with the Divine Artifacts and so many Flying Heaven Puppets.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan soared into the sky, and a huge green light quickly burst through the clouds, carrying him far away.


    ¡°That¡¯s a terrifying speed. That must be Li Yuan¡¯s Flying Serpent Spirit Beast,¡± muttered the Demigod Yan Ming. ¡°I hope Feixing can hold out.¡±


    ¡­


    In the void, Liu Bing was rushing to Lantie Star with Li Yuan.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, we¡¯ve received covert intelligence. The Myriad Demons Civilization has confirmed the news and is massively gathering Demigods in preparation for the invasion,¡± Fang Hai communicated directly to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Has it leaked?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Although he had expected a battle was likely, when war was indeed coming, his heart could not help but tighten.


    The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization outnumbered his own side by more than tenfold.


    ¡°According to the information we have, the scale of the Flying Heaven Realm forces mobilized by the Myriad Demons Civilization isn¡¯t very large,¡± continued Fang Hai. ¡°It is estimated that they will focus their Demigods to launch a fierce attack on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already instructed the Semidivine Mu Ji and the others to wait at the Star Realm¡¯s entrance. I¡¯ll immediately head back to Feixing once I¡¯ve delivered the Divine Artifacts,¡± Li Yuan communicated back.


    In terms of direct combat strength, Li Yuan was not exceptionally strong at present, after all, his cultivation time was short, and he was only in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    But in a battle such as this.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack was the strongest among the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, surpassing even the Lant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai.


    ¡°Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so difficult to merge the two Laws,¡± Li Yuan muttered while seemingly flying on his way; in reality, he was constantly deducing the Mysteries of the Laws.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by.


    On Feixing, apart from the six Third Level Star Realms, which still each had one Initial Rank Demigod and a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors to assist in their defense.


    The original scattered Demigods from various parts of Feixing had all gathered near the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    A green streak of light flew across the sky and landed on top of a majestic mountain.


    ¡°It¡¯s Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± the large group of Demigods stationed in this area sensed his arrival and looked toward the black silhouette on the mountain peak.


    Whoosh!


    Another streak of light darted across and quickly arrived beside Li Yuan.


    ¡°Principal,¡± greeted Li Yuan as he looked at the newcomer.


    ¡°All set?¡± Fang Hai asked.


    ¡°Yes, the Demigods of each major star have received their Divine Artifacts,¡± confirmed Li Yuan with gravity.


    Although the Demigods had not had the Divine Artifacts for long and it was difficult to say whether they could unleash their full might, the overall strength had significantly increased nonetheless.


    ¡°Good,¡± said Fang Hai with relief in his eyes.


    ¡°Principal, is that the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan looked into the distance.


    He saw a nearly hundred-kilometer wide dark passageway on the vast wasteland, inscrutable, as if the tunnel had torn through space and existed on a different spatial plane than the surrounding landscape.


    The depths of the passage shone with multicolored light, giving it an extremely mystical appearance.


    And around this tunnel were peculiar mountains, encircling it, hundreds of peaks in total.


    ¡°Yes,¡± nodded Fang Hai. ¡°The Demon Mountain Star Realm is incredibly vast, with a diameter exceeding one hundred thousand kilometers and containing many dangers. Since the war on Feixing, neither we nor the Myriad Demons Civilization have stationed Demigods in Demon Mountain Star Realm¡­ we each guard the entrances to our respective Star Realms.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, for this information was not a secret.


    However, this was his first time here.


    ¡°The Origin Power Array laid down by the teacher covers three hundred kilometers around. Its core is controlled by the Lant Semi-Divine, whose Soul Cultivation Level is the strongest and his realm is exceedingly high,¡± said Fang Hai. ¡°Once the Myriad Demons Civilization dares to invade, we will immediately activate the Array.¡±


    ¡°Then, without breaking the Array, it would be very difficult for the Demigods of Myriad Demons Civilization to leave this area,¡± Fang Hai solemnly stated.


    ¡°I can feel it,¡± Li Yuan sensed that beneath the seemingly calm wasteland, a terrifying force lay hidden, as if coming from the vastness of the earth and sky.


    This was the Origin Power Array.


    The formation that Li Yuan encountered at Lantie Star was clearly inferior to this one.


    ¡°This is the Array Command.¡± Fang Hai flipped his hand, revealing two tokens in his palm. ¡°Refine them, and you¡¯ll be able to wield part of the Array¡¯s power during the battle, summoning an Origin Power Dharma Body or enhancing yourself with the Array¡¯s power¡­ Above all, you must protect yourself.¡±


    ¡°I have only one order for you.¡±


    ¡°Survive! Make it through.¡± Fang Hai looked intently at Li Yuan. ¡°You and your Spirit Beast are our biggest reliance in the Seven Star Civilization¡­ as long as you live, even if Feixing falls, we¡¯ll have a day when the Seven Star Civilization can counterattack.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Soon after, Fang Hai left, and Li Yuan gave one of the tokens to Liu Bing. The man and his beast waited quietly there.


    ¡°The Array is incredibly powerful,¡± Li Yuan could sense it more clearly after refining the token. ¡°What we¡¯re lacking is numbers.¡±


    At present, the Demigods guarding the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm, including Li Yuan and Liu Bing, totaled only twenty-eight.


    Even adding the forty hidden Semi-Divine Peak Puppets.


    How many strong ones were there in total?

 Chapter 709 - 380: Understanding the Third Move

    Chapter 709: Chapter 380: Understanding the Third Move


    Lines of light blossomed around Li Yuan, enveloping him with the Mysteries of Wind and Earth, yet at that moment, these two Laws merged perfectly into one.


    Great amounts of light surrounded him, making the aura that Li Yuan emitted vast and unfathomable.


    Quiet!


    Vast.


    Currently, their entire civilization faced unprecedented oppression, the time was too short, the migration plans of various planets had just started, and it was impossible to relocate billions of people, the pressure on Li Yuan¡¯s heart was imaginable.


    However, under this mental strain, Li Yuan began to transform while deducing the mysteries of the Boundary Cloud Spear.


    ...


    Gradually, Li Yuan¡¯s figure became more ethereal, giving off a sense that he was in a different world.


    ¡°What? Big Brother?¡± Liu Bing, standing beside him, was the most shocked; with her high Skill Realm and being the closest, she clearly felt the changes in the aura around Li Yuan, ¡°Spatial fluctuations?¡±


    Liu Bing couldn¡¯t believe it.


    But it was right before her eyes; the fluctuations emanating from Li Yuan¡¯s body were precisely the elusive spatial fluctuations she had relentlessly pursued.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±


    ¡°What kind of aura is this?¡± Within the range of the Origin Power Array, the demigods who were originally meditating all noticed the astonishing fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth and couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan.


    These demigods couldn¡¯t discern the reason and only felt that Li Yuan¡¯s current aura was incredibly mysterious.


    ¡°Um? What¡¯s this?¡± Fang Hai and the controller of the Array, also Fang Hai, sensed it as well.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Both swiftly traveled dozens of kilometers and arrived near the location of Li Yuan¡¯s aura.


    ¡°What is this? Has Li Yuan made a breakthrough?¡± The golden-haired Lant Semi-Divine said in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s the same kind of aura as the teacher.¡± Fang Hai was shocked, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s presence reminds me a little of the teacher.¡±


    ¡°Similar to Dongfang Ji?¡± Lant Semi-Divine was even more surprised.


    ¡°Li Yuan truly deserves to be recognized by the teacher as the number one genius of the civilization, his comprehension is inconceivably high,¡± Fang Hai said softly. ¡°His Law Comprehension was already strong, comparable to a Semi-Divine Peak¡­ Now that he has made a breakthrough, his Law Comprehension has probably transformed again. With the Origin Power Array supplementing his Basic Strength, the might he can exert will likely be astonishing.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing.¡± Lant Semi-Divine smiled, ¡°Perhaps, his strength is even greater than mine now.¡±


    Both were quite delighted about Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough.


    ¡°Lant Senior, please conceal Li Yuan¡¯s aura,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Lant Semi-Divine nodded. With a thought, the environment changed, and vague golden lights spontaneously emerged, quickly covering the area where Li Yuan was located.


    This prevented other demigods from spying further.


    ¡­The golden light only masked the anomalies of Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough and did not interfere with Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation.


    He continued to meditate deeply.


    Hush¡ªa formless fluctuation passed through, and beside Liu Bing, a phantom barely an inch in size with a single horn emerged with a faint aura, visible only to Liu Bing.


    ¡°Senior Qiu.¡± Liu Bing looked towards the single-horned phantom.


    ¡°He was actually able to induce a trace of spatial fluctuation; he must have truly comprehended a flicker of the Mysteries of Space,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with surprise in his eyes. ¡°His talent for the Space Law must be unimaginably strong.¡±


    ¡°Space Law talent?¡± Liu Bing was startled.


    ¡°I was curious before, his high talent in the Law of Earth is very normal,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained. ¡°Later, obtaining the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind from me and advancing further in the comprehension of the Wind Law¡­ also very normal.¡±


    Liu Bing nodded involuntarily, knowing that Li Yuan had cultivated two assistive Supreme Star Techniques.


    His quick Law Comprehension was very normal.


    ¡°What truly amazed me is his Law Integration,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°After ascending to godhood, Law Comprehension becomes difficult, thus many experts try to cultivate different Laws of the Great Dao¡­ But the challenging part is integrating those Laws.¡±


    ¡°Just like you,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Liu Bing.


    Liu Bing slightly nodded; from her birth until now, she had never been distracted by any other Great Dao Law, always focusing solely on the Wind Law.


    ¡°Li Yuan alone is an oddity.¡±


    ¡°His speed of comprehending Laws is not as fast as yours, but his efficiency in Law Integration, even when compared with the unparalleled prodigies of the Divine Realm, does not pale in comparison,¡± Qiu Bingzun stated earnestly.


    ¡°The Boundary Cloud Spear, among the many Secret Techniques I taught, is not too incredible¡­ but extremely suitable for him.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t quite understand in the past.¡±


    ¡°But now, I somewhat understand,¡± Qiu Bingzun revealed a smile. ¡°It is not because of the integration of the Laws of Earth and Wind that he touched the Mysteries of Space¡­ but because his talent for Space Law is so high, making it easy for him to integrate different Laws.¡±


    Liu Bing listened breathlessly; she naturally understood what ¡®Space Law talent¡¯ meant.


    In the Divine Realm,


    There are countless creatures, and prodigies efficient in comprehending the Seven Fundamental Laws abound.


    But once it involves Space Law, they are rare to see.


    And such prodigies are also difficult to discover, generally requiring one to reach the Pseudo-God Level or Divine Levels to be able to make judgments.


    Even with Qiu Bingzun¡¯s discernment, he hadn¡¯t noticed it before.


    ¡°Sister Gu You, you¡¯re indeed fortunate,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, ¡°You have been keeping watch, why not come out now?¡±


    Whoosh!


    Another barely detectable phantom appeared, it was Gu You, her face filled with surprise, she glanced at Qiu Bingzun, ¡°The Direct Disciple I chose for father is indeed extraordinary.¡±


    Time passed.


    Nearly an hour later, the fluctuations around Li Yuan finally dispersed, and he appeared normal again, slowly opening his eyes.


    Previously, while Li Yuan was comprehending the Mysteries of the Laws of Earth and Wind, he could always vaguely sense the existence of spatial fluctuations.


    But only today had he grasped a true understanding of them.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, and finally, the corresponding records emerged.


    ¡°`


    [Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 2%), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 38%)¡­]


    ¡°`


    ¡°Mysteries of Space, logically, should be like the Mysteries of Earth, Wind Mysteries, etc., representing that I¡¯ve just grasped a bit of the heavenly and earthly mysteries, which is just at the entry level,¡± Li Yuan mused silently. ¡°Being so far from controlling the true intent, could the might have already reached the level of the seventh stage?¡±


    His heart stirred!


    Hu¨¡ l¨¡~ Li Yuan felt his perception ability surge suddenly, faintly touching the deeper mysteries of the celestial and terrestrial operations, the endless space¡­ seemed to have no bound.


    Within this endless space, he could sense the responses of the earth, the freedom of the wind, the fervor of fire¡­ Everything originated from this spatial domain.


    It was the beginning of everything, where numerous Lwas of the Great Dao operated within the space.


    When it perished, it also symbolized the end of everything.


    ¡­


    ¡°Eh?¡± Li Yuan noticed wisps of golden light nearby and immediately understood that this was a cover given by Lant Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Little Ice, Sister Gu You, elder Qiu.¡± Li Yuan looked at the people around him.


    ¡°Big brother, congratulations,¡± Liu Bing said excitedly. ¡°You¡¯ve grasped a hint of the mysteries of space.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just entered the doorway,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, knowing only through contemplation the vastness of space.


    What he had comprehended was nothing but a fringe, and even if he controlled the true intent or crossed the threshold of the Law, it was just like discovering a drop of water in the ocean.


    ¡°The space law is a superior law. Its might is extremely strong. Even if you¡¯ve just controlled a hint of its mystery, the might is equivalent to other Great Dao crossing the threshold of the Law, comparable to the seventh stage,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°And entering the doorway is the hardest part. Now that you have entered, subsequent contemplation will naturally become easier.¡±


    ¡°If one day, you can control the true intention of space, that would be impressive. By then, relying solely on the space law, you would be able to dominate among the Pseudo-Gods,¡± Qiu Bingzun added.


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    The seven fundamental laws, as comprehension deepens, ultimately allow one to grasp a hint of the original truth, which can gather ¡®Law Will¡¯ within one¡¯s own soul, capable of projecting consciousness thousands of miles away.


    This was the eighth stage of skill.


    But if it¡¯s the Space Dao, even just condensing ¡®true intent¡¯ could achieve this step, which shows the horror of a superior law.


    If he truly could cross into the threshold of the Space Law, that would be defying the heavens, even within the Divine Realm, not many Pseudo-Gods could achieve it.


    ¡°The Space Dao, comprehension is slow.¡±


    ¡°Divine beings, with strong souls, plus lighting divine fire, the inner and outer heaven and earth intertwined, most can only sense a hint,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Actually, for you now, the greatest use of comprehending a bit of space mystery is that it makes the integration of your Earth and Wind Laws more seamless.¡± S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Space is the root of myriad paths. With space mystery as a medium, your comprehension of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ will become easier,¡± Qiu Bingzun advised. ¡°Try it more often.¡±


    Though he was only left with a remnant soul, he possessed all the memories of his original body, barely a step away from Heavenly Divine in his prime.


    In terms of cultivation experience, it was beyond ordinary people¡¯s imagination.


    ¡°Thank you, elder, for your guidance,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.


    Although Qiu Bingzun rarely gave him pointers, every word was key.


    H¨±!


    Li Yuan stood up, a black long spear appearing in his hand, and he immediately began to wield it.


    Hu¨¡ l¨¡~


    The long spear moved like a large python, unpredictable in its whipping, whether pulling, stabbing, or sweeping, each move unpredictable and continuous.


    This spear technique contained no Origin Power, yet it perfectly induced the fluctuations of Earth and Wind Laws, its might extraordinary, sufficient to annihilate ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Hu¨¡! Hu¨¡! Hu¨¡!


    As time passed, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique became more elusive and ethereal, gradually changing. The mysteries of the Earth and Wind Laws combined more perfectly, even giving rise to another mysterious fluctuation.


    This fluctuation was very weak, yet contained extremely terrifying might.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hu¨¡¡ª¡ª¡±


    Following his feelings, Li Yuan thrust his spear forward suddenly, the forces of wind, earth, and space rotating around the spear, intertwining with each other, and ultimately perfectly converging at the spear tip.


    As if to pierce through the long sky.


    ¡°Ch¨©~¡± A fearsome and sharp force exploded instantaneously, streaking across the sky, suddenly penetrating the distant hazy golden light, unknowing of how many kilometers it shot out.


    ¡°¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ third form, I¡¯ve finally begun to comprehend it,¡± Li Yuan felt joy in his heart.


    ¡°This spear technique? Containing not a trace of Origin Power, yet possessing such might, big brother is amazing,¡± praised Liu Bing, her eyes lighting up.


    ¡°Good,¡± Gu You revealed a smile.


    ¡°With a hint of space mystery as a link, combining together, you could directly perform the third form?¡± Qiu Bingzun also praised. ¡°The mystery of this spear, most of the Semi-Divine Peak probably couldn¡¯t perform.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    The first form of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ roughly equivalent to seventh stage initial rank comprehension.


    The second form ¡®Splitting Star,¡¯ equivalent to the seventh stage intermediate rank comprehension, was at the Semi-Divine Peak level, which he comprehended during the crisis on Lantie Star.


    The third form ¡®Ghost Valley,¡¯ then equals the seventh stage high rank comprehension, capable of matching the mystery of a Semi-Divine Limit expert¡¯s moves.


    Today, having grasped a hint of spatial mystery, perfectly combining the Earth and Wind Laws comprehension, he finally comprehended this form.


    ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ fourth form ¡®Shattering the Long Sky,¡¯ fifth form ¡®Divine Soldier Intent¡¯¡­ those were Pseudo-God level techniques.


    ¡°The fourth and fifth forms are too far away for me.¡±


    ¡°Being able to comprehend the third form now, which significantly increases my spear technique¡¯s might, my strength in direct combat should be comparable to many Semi-Divine Peaks,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°With the addition of the Origin Power Array¡­ my combat power will advance further.¡±


    Li Yuan understood his own weakness. In terms of the height of his spear technique realm, probably no one in the civilization could match him.


    But the drawback was that his basic strength was too weak, even with many Nine Layer Star Techniques in his body, still far from other Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    ¡°I wonder.¡±


    ¡°When will the Myriad Demons Civilization launch their attack?¡± Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, then stopped thinking too much and continued to meditate and deduce his spear techniques silently.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 710 - 381 War Begins

    Chapter 710: Chapter 381 War Begins


    Seven Stars Calendar 2053, April 22nd, five days had passed since the news of Dongfang Ji¡¯s fall had reached the Seven Star Civilization.


    Four days had passed since the Myriad Demons Civilization had issued the ¡°War Mobilization Order.¡±


    Outside a side hall in the Myriad Demons Hall on Demon Star, numerous bustling half-gods had gathered.


    ¡°These days, half-gods stationed on various planets have all arrived, summoned by the deity; it looks like a great battle is imminent.¡±


    ¡°A half-god army.¡±


    ¡°The last time we gathered a half-god army was over sixty years ago, when we entered the ¡®Qiu Yuan Sea¡¯ through the space rift in the starry sky to compete with other civilizations for divine treasures. The time before that was over a hundred years ago, during the Seven Stars War.¡±


    ...


    ¡°This time, I don¡¯t know who we are targeting, but we¡¯ve already gathered more than three hundred half-gods, not to mention distributing many divine artifacts and several Origin Power Arrays.¡±


    ¡°It can¡¯t be that they¡¯re sending us into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain,¡± many half-gods quietly speculated.


    Even for the Myriad Demons Civilization, such grand-scale wars were rare.


    The scale of this war even made them tremble; most of the half-gods inside the hall were of Initial Rank and Middle Rank, relatively weak, and unaware of many secretive messages.


    Meanwhile, in another main hall, the number of people was much fewer, but each individual¡¯s aura was much stronger.


    Floating in the void was the East Demon Deity.


    ¡°Ye An, Hemu,¡± the East Demon Deity looked at the two leading figures: ¡°The first battle will be led by you two, entering Feixing. Your targets are Li Yuan and Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine respectfully responded.


    The East Demon Deity could not help but glance at Ye An Semi-Divine.


    He had always been hesitant to use him, but after much deliberation, he decided to utilize him¡­ There was no choice, as there was a shortage of top combat power.


    Although the Myriad Demons Civilization far exceeded the Seven Star Civilization, the only openly known Semi-Divine Limit Expert was Ye An Semi-Divine.


    It was only because the deities summoned the half-gods that the East Demon Deity after examination realized that Hemu Semi-Divine had also broken through.


    There were no more Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    A Semi-Divine Limit Expert in such a scale of half-god war had a very significant impact.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine had broken through, becoming even stronger.


    But he was still on his way back, and the East Demon Deity could not wait, deciding to launch an initial raid first to probe the defensive details of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°As for you eighteen,¡± the East Demon Deity looked toward another group of half-god experts: ¡°You are all Semi-Divine Peak Experts, each endowed with a divine artifact. Form groups of nine, and you must assist Ye An and Hemu, striving to break through the defenses of the Seven Star Civilization in one fell swoop.¡±


    ¡°At least, force out the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s trump cards,¡± the East Demon Deity stated.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the eighteen Semi-Divine Peak Experts responded in unison.


    They knew their responsibility¡ªthey were the vanguard army!


    If the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s power was weak, they would directly break through¡­ If the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s power was too strong, they would withdraw first.


    ¡°You,¡± the East Demon Deity then looked toward dozens of figures at the back of the great hall: ¡°When the time comes, I will decide based on the situation whether you will lead the main army along the Demon Mountain Star Realm to enter the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± the group of powerful half-gods responded.


    ¡°Proceed,¡± the East Demon Deity waved his hand.


    Whoosh! Instantly, a surge arrived, and before the half-gods present could react, he had gathered them all.


    Whew!


    The East Demon Deity flew out, arriving at another side hall: ¡°Everyone, follow my command, do not resist.¡±


    The hundreds of half-gods inside the hall also did not resist, allowing the East Demon Deity to collect them.


    Swoosh!


    The East Demon Deity soared into the void.


    He pondered briefly, then with a wave of his hand, collected the massive structure below¡ªthe Myriad Demons Hall¡ªwhich was, in fact, a powerful magical treasure left by the ¡®True God of Myriad Demons¡¯ in history.


    Though this war did not require the East Demon Deity¡¯s participation in battle, he was always cautious and highly valued his own life.


    Whir~ In the void, a mysterious figure with a secretive aura appeared, it was Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡°East Demon, you really are cautious,¡± Qiong Jin Deity scoffed.


    ¡°You know nothing,¡± the East Demon Deity retorted coldly: ¡°This Myriad Demons Hall is a true divine artifact. With it, no matter what tricks Dongfang Ji plays, as long as we retreat into the Myriad Demons Hall, he cannot touch us.¡±


    ¡°Even if Dongfang Ji is powerful, he¡¯s still just a half-god,¡± Qiong Jin Deity shook his head: ¡°Could it be that he has infiltrated our Myriad Demons Civilization and become a Pseudo-God, planning an ambush?¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue Deity has been guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm all this time,¡± Qiong Jin Deity mentioned.


    ¡°Better safe than sorry,¡± the East Demon Deity stated: ¡°You better hurry your disciple to come quickly.¡±


    According to the East Demon Deity¡¯s estimation.


    Only upon Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s return would they have an absolute confidence in victory.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said: ¡°Sha Kun is hurrying back at full speed, let¡¯s go ahead.¡±


    ¡°If we delay, the Seven Star Civilization might receive news of our deployment.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two deities transformed into two streaks of light, crossing the sky and land with astounding speed, easily breaking through 80 kilometers per second.


    Before long.


    They arrived above a vast ocean, here lay a bustling city, and also a massive entrance to the Interior Dimensional Star Realm.


    ¡°We should be grateful that the Seven Star Civilization never gave birth to a true god,¡± Qiong Jin Deity smiled faintly: ¡°Otherwise, once their planetary channel is fully open¡­ half-god reinforcements would be extremely fast, leaving no time for us.¡±


    ¡°If their planetary channel was fully open, we could have obliterated the Seven Star Civilization more than a hundred years ago, and Dongfang Ji wouldn¡¯t have had time to break through,¡± the East Demon Deity frowned: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh! The two great deities directly flew into the Interior Dimensional Star Realm¡­ as a powerful civilization that had once given birth to a true god.


    Within the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s territory, ¡®Interior Dimensional Star Realms¡¯ connecting major planets, half-gods could freely traverse.(Chapter 358)


    Even deities, as long as they are native deities, could directly travel along the planetary channels.


    Minutes later, they had already arrived at Demon Mountain Star.


    ¡­Demon Mountain Star, which had been a very ordinary life planet in the Myriad Demons Civilization but had become extremely significant over the past hundred years.


    Even Bei Yue Deity was often stationed here.


    Everything was because the ¡°Demon Mountain Star Realm¡± connected the Seven Star Civilization.


    Above the entrance of the Star Realm, spanning hundreds of kilometers in diameter, a vast and dark palace floated.


    Swoosh! The sacred aura of Bei Yue Deity flew out from the palace, looking into the distance.


    The East Demon Deity and Qiong Jin Deity soon arrived in the void.


    ¡°Bei Yue, you¡¯ve worked hard,¡± the East Demon Deity said to Bei Yue Deity, ¡°protecting this place all these years.¡±


    ¡°Some must guard,¡± Bei Yue Deity smiled, ¡°If I weren¡¯t here, once Dongfang Ji sneaked in, I fear it would cause utter chaos, and the Myriad Demons Star would probably have been destroyed long ago.¡±


    Both deities nodded.


    ¡°Everything is ready, then let¡¯s prepare for war,¡± the East Demon Deity said with a wave of his hand. Immediately, several figures appeared beside him, led by Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine.


    And eighteen Semi-Divine Peak Experts.


    ¡°Follow my command,¡± the East Demon Deity issued the order, ¡°don¡¯t act rashly, prioritize your survival.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Twenty figures turned into streaks of light and rushed into the dark passage below.


    ¡°With their flying speed, they¡¯ll reach the Star Realm entrance to Feixing within ten minutes,¡± Bei Yue Deity said softly, ¡°But twenty Semi-Divines, isn¡¯t that too few?¡±


    ¡°Not at all,¡± the East Demon Deity slowly said, ¡°According to intelligence, aside from Dongfang Ji, there should be only four Semi-Divine Peak Experts in the Seven Star Civilization, and Xin Yu Semi-Divine is even at the Heavenly Sea Star¡­ The force we dispatched should be enough to force out their true capabilities.¡± sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Just worried it might be a trap set by Dongfang Ji,¡± Qiong Jin Deity frowned.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t let the other Semi-Divines wait in the Demon Mountain Star Realm,¡± the East Demon Deity said, ¡°Otherwise, once Dongfang Ji survived and pursued us¡­ the casualties would be too great.¡±


    ¡°The first battle is just a probe.¡±


    ¡°But if the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s strength is too weak, they might not withstand the attack from Hemu Semi-Divine and the others,¡± the East Demon Deity said.


    Bei Yue Deity and the others nodded.


    Two Semi-Divine Limit Experts and eighteen Semi-Divine Peak Experts¡­ This force was enough to destroy typical civilizations.


    On Feixing, outside the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm, more than twenty Semi-Divines were silently meditating, mostly continuing to nurture the Divine Instruments they had recently obtained.


    On the mountain peaks,


    ¡°Just as Senior Qiu said,¡±


    ¡°Once you slightly enter the Space Great Dao, it becomes clearer to sense the spatial fluctuations, making it easier to comprehend other Basic Laws,¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly, ¡°Now, as I deduct the Law of Earth and Wind Law, the efficiency has greatly improved.¡±


    Li Yuan now understood why, after reaching their limits, deities would attempt to comprehend multiple Laws of the Great Dao.


    The main purpose is to combine various Mysteries of the Law, step into the threshold of the Space Great Dao, and then pivot to break through in their primary Law of the Great Dao.


    ¡°Combining multiple Laws of the Great Dao could greatly enhance one¡¯s strength,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°Like my Spear Technique, it¡¯s already comparable to Semi-Divine Limit Experts¡­ But the leap in Life Level requires focus on a single Dao, using this Dao as the foundation.¡±


    Like Li Yuan, if he wanted to become a Pseudo-God in the future, he must bring the Law of Earth to the Seven Stages of Perfection Level.


    As Li Yuan contemplated,


    ¡°Li Yuan, be careful! Alert from the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army is about to attack, likely with more than ten Semi-Divines, strength unknown,¡± a voice suddenly rang in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    It was Fang Hai¡¯s voice.


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army is coming?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face shifted slightly, inwardly astonished.


    It turns out the principal and the others have already set up the alert.


    ¡°Little Ice, get ready,¡± Li Yuan communicated.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing was eager to try.


    Not just Li Yuan.


    Lant Semi-Divine, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, Flame City Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, and others all received the message and stood up from their peaks, all feeling quite tense and alert.


    ¡°Rise!¡± thought Lant Semi-Divine from deep within the earth.


    WHOOSH~


    Within thousands of kilometers around, Heaven and Earth Origin Power began to surge wildly, followed by a hazy Golden Light emerging, dazzlingly bright, directly shooting into the atmosphere, ascending hundreds of kilometers above the ground into the starry sky.


    And closer to the core of the formation, the Golden Light became denser and the might more terrifying.


    Especially within the central three hundred kilometers, the rolling clouds had a bewildering effect, ordinary Semi-Divines simply couldn¡¯t break out of this range.


    ¡°Such a powerful Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°Truly, it¡¯s the fallback plan left by the Eastern Alliance Leader before his fall.¡±


    ¡°We can activate the might of the Origin Power Array now.¡±


    ¡°Quickly.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin,¡± Li Yuan, Liu Bing, San Ye Semi-Divine, through their Array Talismans, began to manipulate the array¡¯s might.


    Before, they had already familiarized themselves with the method of manipulating the array¡­ but this was their first time learning about the specific might of the array.


    ¡°Condense!¡± With a thought, Li Yuan had already cast the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± his body instantly turning ten meters tall. Following this, the Array Command he had refined immediately mobilized the array¡¯s might, and in an instant, countless Golden Lights floating in the void crazily rushed towards him.


    In a moment, Li Yuan¡¯s body was enveloped in a thick layer of Golden Light, immediately feeling the strength he could muster had soared significantly.


    ¡°Initially, when I performed the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, the power I could unleash was comparable to a normal level 42 expert,¡± Li Yuan exclaimed, ¡°Now, I fear my power is comparable to a level 44 expert.¡±


    Here, level 44 refers to the state of a level 44 Semi-Divine performing the ¡®Seven Layer Body Refining Technique¡¯.


    ¡°Previously, what I lacked was Basic Strength,¡±


    ¡°But now, with the array¡¯s enhancement, the strength I can unleash has nearly reached Semi-Divine Peak Experts,¡± Li Yuan was immediately filled with confidence, and he also sensed the other Semi-Divines¡¯ aura skyrocketing.


    This Origin Power Array indeed possessed endless might.


    Just over ten seconds later.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Strong auras suddenly burst out from the dark cave.

 Chapter 711 - 382: Fierce Battle! Li Yuans Strength

    Chapter 711: Chapter 382: Fierce Battle! Li Yuan¡¯s Strength


    ¡°So many demigods.¡±


    ¡°Their aura is all so strong.¡± Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, Flame City Semi-Divine, and others slightly changed their expressions.


    The warning methods of the Demon Mountain Star Realm could only determine that the enemy attacking was a demigod, but they couldn¡¯t assess the specific strength of the enemy.


    However, just from the aura bursting forth from the enemy, it was clear they were not to be trifled with.


    ¡°There are twenty demigods.¡± Li Yuan, confident in his own formidable strength, had already arrived at the edge of the exit from Demon Mountain. His gaze swept over, and he directly employed Divine Palace Exploration, ¡°45 level, 45 level, 46 level, 46 level¡­¡±


    He confirmed the strength of all the demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ...


    ¡°Everyone, be careful,¡± Li Yuan directly relayed through the virtual network communication, ¡°The ones coming are all Semi-Divine Peak experts, including 6 at level 46, the rest are all level 45, the level 46 experts are these six¡­¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan had already communicated the results of his inquiry to the other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization.


    At this life-and-death moment, Li Yuan no longer concealed his unique inquiry methods.


    ¡°So quickly confirmed?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s inquiry method is impressive.¡± The other demigods were surprised in their hearts.


    ¡°Even with the support of the great formation, I could only tell they are at least Semi-Divine Peak, but couldn¡¯t distinguish between level 45 and 46. Li Yuan¡¯s technique is indeed special,¡± remarked Lant Semi-Divine, also quite surprised.


    While it seems slow to talk about, the train of thought of a demigod warrior is extremely fast. From when the large army of the Myriad Demons Civilization killed their way over, to Li Yuan and his peers confirming their strength, only an instant had passed.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s voice resounded in the mind of every demigod: ¡°Qinghe, your target is number one.¡±


    ¡°San Ye, your target is number two.¡±


    ¡°Xue Long, your target is number three.¡±


    ¡°Flame City¡­¡± Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s voice rose simultaneously in the minds of the 20 plus allies, each person receiving a different command.


    The attacking experts from the Myriad Demons Civilization were mostly unknown to Lant Semi-Divine, so they were simply labeled as numbers one to twenty.


    However, there were four experts whom Lant Semi-Divine would not command, those being Li Yuan, Fang Hai, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and Liu Bing¡­ their strength was the strongest among their peers.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan, Fang Hai, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and others directly turned into streaks of light and charged forward, their bodies faintly enveloped in a golden light, clearly benefiting from the full support of the formation, which greatly elevated their strength.


    At this moment.


    Apart from Lant Semi-Divine, who was focusing all his effort on the formation, all the other demigods had acted. Although most were only Semi-Divine Initial Rank or Semi-Divine Middle Rank, with the support of the Origin Power Array, at least they saw their basic strength increase to a level 44 standard, or a level 45 standard¡­ The Origin Power Array was extremely ferocious.


    Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, who had already cultivated to level 46, now erupted with an aura that was incomparably fierce, surpassing everyone on the field, even Fang Hai¡¯s aura could not compare to his.


    ¡°Amazing!¡±


    ¡°In the published intelligence, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine is the highest achiever of our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Star Meridian,¡± Li Yuan watched the figure emitting a terrifying aura, and quietly marveled, ¡°46 level, plus the Seventh Layers Body Refining Star Technique¡­ and with the augmentation of the Origin Power Array, in terms of pure strength, he must be close to catching up with many level 47 demigods.¡±


    The difference in strength between level 42 and level 44 demigods wouldn¡¯t be too great, as their Star Techniques were roughly equal.


    But the gap between level 45 and level 47 would be significant, as one only represents the Five-Star Meridian, while the other represents the Seven Star Veins.


    ¡°Huh~¡±


    Threads of golden light, which already shrouded thousands of kilometers, also surged wildly. Besides bolstering Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and others, it was also aggressively targeting each Myriad Demons Civilization demigod.


    The Origin Power Array, aside from enhancing allies, could also weaken the enemy.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Exterminate the demigods from the Seven Star Civilization.¡± Nightshade Semi-Divine, Hemu Semi-Divine led the large force and, filled with confidence from previous campaigns against other civilizations where victory often came through sheer overpowering, were bewildered upon passing through the Star Realm Passage.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Such a strong Origin Power Array?¡±


    ¡°What sort of formation is this? It¡¯s terrifying.¡± Those threads of golden light, seemingly inconspicuous, contained terrifying power, constantly assaulting them.


    These golden lights, being close to the level of the demigods, could not cause them fatal injuries but greatly hindered their flying speed and continually eroded the Origin Power within them.


    ¡°This formation is extremely strong, our Myriad Demons Civilization probably doesn¡¯t have such a formidable one, definitely a secret technique left behind by Dongfang Ji,¡± Nightshade Semi-Divine¡¯s voice resonated in the minds of their own demigods, ¡°But its effectiveness depends on who uses it. The demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, in general, are weaker, with very few at the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°One by one, they seem strong, but in reality, they are paper tigers, annihilate them,¡± Nightshade Semi-Divine¡¯s voice was icy.


    ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill.¡± The demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, initially taken aback, rapidly dispersed to face their respective adversaries.


    As a vanguard force, their purpose was to probe out the trump cards of the Seven Star Civilization.


    The burst of strength from the Seven Star Civilization, no matter how powerful, surely wouldn¡¯t mean a retreat at first contact.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The two forces of demigods, like two mighty currents, collided with a thunderous roar.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s momentum soared.


    He had been the closest to the Star Realm entrance all along, and coupled with his concurrent insight into the Mysteries of Space and Wind Law, if speed were the only consideration, apart from Liu Bing, likely no one could surpass him.


    Even Blood Cloth Semi-Divine and Fang Hai, who revealed flying speeds on par with his.


    Thus, Li Yuan was the fastest among them, holding a long spear, directly confronting one of the opponent¡¯s Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°The number one genius of the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan.¡± The powerhouses from the Myriad Demons Civilization recognized Li Yuan, knowing he was their primary target.


    But in a clash between the armies of demigods, where speeds were fierce, under the suppression of the Origin Power Array, it was impossible for all the demigods to focus fire on Li Yuan immediately.


    The first to confront Li Yuan was a burly man dressed in blood armor.


    ¡°Level 46 experts, each one with a Six Star Pulse, the Star Techniques they display are generally stronger, and their overall strength is a lot greater than level 45¡¯s¡­ it will be much harder to kill one,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, ¡°It¡¯s better to break one finger than to injure ten¡­ aim to first eliminate a level 45 demigod.¡±


    Boom! Li Yuan, holding the Black Chen Spear, his eyes cold, burst forth with his full might at once.


    A Semi-Divine Peak? He had never killed one before!


    Kill!


    Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power was completely infused into the Black Chen Spear, with the formation¡¯s golden light also fully bolstering the Divine Spear.


    An all-out burst.


    ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear third style¡ªGhost Valley!¡±


    The first style of the Boundary Cloud Spear leaned towards defense, the second was a domineering attack, and the third style, properly called ¡°Ghost Valley¡¯s Call,¡± sought unpredictable and enigmatic killing strikes.


    ¡°Clash!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s momentum soared to the sky, as the long spear whistled straight out, ethereal and uncanny, as if it was about to pierce the heavens above.


    At the same time as the Divine Spear¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± Suddenly, nine Yellow Dragons emerged across Li Yuan¡¯s body, each with a formidable aura, also roaring and circling the long spear, attacking in unison.


    Nine Dragons Xuan Armor¡ªYellow Dragon!


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    An invisible wave of soul energy also accompanied this explosive thrust of the spear.


    Soul Secret Technique¡ªMind Soul!


    Compared to the battle with Lantie Star, Li Yuan, who had constantly been practicing the Visualization Method to grind himself, had advanced his soul to level 49, just a step shy from the Pseudo-God Level Soul.


    Executing this Soul Secret Technique, the might naturally became even more formidable.


    It could be said.


    In the first exchange, Li Yuan already burst forth with all his strength, seeking to make his mark.


    ¡­¡±Come and battle. According to the intelligence, your Spear Technique only reached the Semi-Divine Peak level during the crisis on Lantie Star. It has been less than half a year since then; even with the support of the Origin Power Array, I don¡¯t fear you,¡± said the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, though feeling the terror of this spear, he was not afraid at all.

    Most importantly, the battle happened too quickly, leaving him no way to retreat.


    ¡°Slash!¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine brandished his Combat Saber, lifting it high with the intention of slashing at Li Yuan.


    Buzz~ An invisible wave of soul energy had instantly penetrated his spiritual world, causing his mind to immediately experience bouts of dizziness.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a soul attack. I clearly practiced Soul Defense Secret Technique, how could I still be affected?¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine was shocked. Typically, in a clash at the same level, soul attacks were hardly effective and mostly could be ignored.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine still swung his Combat Saber, with its dazzling blade tearing through the void.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The Divine Artifacts of the two powerhouses collided.


    ¡°Not good, how can his Spear Technique be so strong? It¡¯s much more powerful than reported.¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine¡¯s face changed color, feeling a terrible force invading through the weapons, and immediately, he found himself thrown backward.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Pu Ren is completely no match? Isn¡¯t he wielding a Divine Artifact Combat Saber? Can¡¯t he even restrain Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength is formidable.¡± Other Semi-Divines from the Myriad Demons Civilization were shocked, only to see Pu Ren Semi-Divine sent flying by Li Yuan after a single exchange.


    Obviously, there was a great gap between the strengths of both parties.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure flashed like lightning, seizing the opportunity to finish off his opponent.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Help Pu Ren Semi-Divine, don¡¯t let Li Yuan act arrogantly.¡±


    ¡°Block him.¡± Two more Semi-Divines from Wan Mo immediately rushed over, one with a War Hammer, and the other manipulating Divine Artifact Chains, as chains enveloped the area attempting to suppress Li Yuan.


    ¡°Scram!¡±


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Li Yuan¡¯s long spear moved with agility and unpredictability. With every touch of the spear tip, he easily sent those chains flying.


    At the same time, the nine Yellow Dragons around Li Yuan, each reaching the threshold of Semi-Divine strength, coordinated well with each other, producing effective results and allowing him not to fear such restraining methods.


    ¡°Take my hammer!¡± A massive War Hammer came crashing down like lightning.


    ¡°Hiss~¡±


    Multiple spear shadows clashed with the hammer three times, enabling Li Yuan to block this long-gathering heavy hammer strike.


    ¡°Such incredible strength, truly worthy of a level 46 Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan observed the hammer-wielding Semi-Divine.


    While the Hammer Technique invoked the mysteries of the earth and heavens, the sheer force was terrifying, surpassing Li Yuan by quite a margin.


    ¡°Come.¡±


    ¡°All of us together.¡±


    Pu Ren Semi-Divine, having recovered, immediately joined the hammer-wielding Semi-Divine powerhouse, launching a combined assault.


    They both sensed Li Yuan¡¯s dreadful strength, daring not to attack rashly.


    ¡°Bang bang bang!¡±


    For a time, three Semi-Divine Peak experts, including a level 46 Semi-Divine, still could not cope with Li Yuan, even seeming at a disadvantage, all because Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was too unpredictable and terrifying.


    ¡°Killing Semi-Divine Peak experts is indeed difficult; they each wear Divine Artifact Battle Armor,¡± Li Yuan frowned, also feeling the tenacity of Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    The army sent by the Demon Civilization, not a single one was weak.


    ¡°Lanite¡¯s Spear Technique has made another breakthrough,¡± marveled the forces of the Seven Star Civilization, witnessing Li Yuan¡¯s outburst.


    ¡°Even with formation support, he¡¯s just at the Flying Heaven Realm, yet he can fight one against three?¡±


    ¡°On the entire battlefield, there are likely very few who are stronger than him.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s surge of power amazed the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side, while the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s side became anxious.


    Both armies had fully collided and entangled, with no Semi-Divines falling in a short time.


    Firstly, both sides were extremely cautious.


    Secondly, the power displayed by both parties was nothing less than near Semi-Divine Peaks, with a generally strong ability to preserve life, naturally making it challenging to determine life or death in a short span.


    However, it was foreseeable that amidst such fierce fighting, it wouldn¡¯t be long before some Semi-Divines could no longer hold out.


    And the most ferocious battle was between Fang Hai and Hemu Semi-Divine.

 Chapter 712 - 383: Fang Hai Erupts! All Cards on the Table

    Chapter 712: Chapter 383: Fang Hai Erupts! All Cards on the Table


    Blood Cloth Semi-Divine immediately faced off against Ye An Semi Divine as the battle began.


    After all, this was a publicly known Semi-Divine Limit Expert from the Myriad Demons Civilization, one who needed to be confronted.


    As soon as their combat commenced, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine found himself at a disadvantage.


    However, empowered by the great formation, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine¡¯s strength surged, far surpassing that of Ye An Semi Divine. Coupled with the Escaping Method Star Technique and several Divine Artifacts on his person, he didn¡¯t fear the combat, able to fully entangle the Ye An Semi Divine.


    As for Fang Hai?


    Before the two armies had even begun to clash, he was already targeted by Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ...


    When the two powerhouses truly crossed swords, both were startled by the other.


    Fang Hai was shocked by Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s strength¡ªanother Semi-Divine Limit Expert?


    ¡°Such many demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, indeed, there are hidden Semi-Divine Limit Experts,¡± Fang Hai thought with vigilance.


    Hemu Semi-Divine was even more surprised.


    According to his knowledge, hadn¡¯t Fang Hai achieved Semi-Divine status just a few years ago? Yet his strength had already escalated to such a level?


    He is indeed the current ¡®Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Stars.¡¯


    Not just the first in status, but also first in revealed strength.


    ¡°Boom boom boom!¡± The strength that Fang Hai and Hemu Semi-Divine erupted with kept rising, and within just a few moves, it made the other demigods hesitant to approach.


    Because the power both of them displayed had far surpassed everyone else.


    Even Ye An, who was also a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, seemed slightly inferior to the strength displayed by these two.


    At this moment,


    Fang Hai and Hemu Semi-Divine were undoubtedly the most dazzling presences on the entire battlefield.


    ¡°Fang Hai, you indeed possess Semi-Divine Limit strength, but without the support of this Origin Power Array, you¡¯re absolutely no match for me,¡± Hemu Semi-Divine roared in anger.


    He held a wooden staff, an ancient-looking staff inscribed with complex Secret Runes, clearly a powerful Pseudo-God Artifact.


    And Fang Hai, with whom he was clashing, was just 45 levels, but the aura he exuded was even more terrifying than that of Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, much scarier.


    Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique!


    36 level Star Technique!


    Even though Fang Hai¡¯s Origin Power had only been cultivated to level 45, not yet reaching the ultimate peak of level 47, with the Fourth Rank Limit, Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, his strength had escalated to an incredibly exaggerated degree.


    In terms of power, he completely overpowered Hemu Semi-Divine, who was at level 46.


    What¡¯s equally terrifying is the Combat Saber in Fang Hai¡¯s hands¡ªit looked quite ordinary and didn¡¯t seem to contain any profound mystery, yet the saber light it slashed out was terrifying.


    The clashes between the Combat Saber and the Divine Staff again and again, allowed Fang Hai to suppress Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even ask.¡±


    ¡°Hemu, you hide your strength deeply, reaching the Semi-Divine Limit under our noses, you might even become a Pseudo-God,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice was cold, echoing throughout heaven and earth, ¡°But you only need to know one thing¡ªeven without Teacher¡¯s help, with me here, your Myriad Demons Civilization will never invade our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Sea Chanting Realm!¡±


    Whoosh! Fang Hai¡¯s Combat Saber slashed out once more.


    With the strike, it seemed as if countless imaginary currents surged into the Combat Saber, and then a terrifying blade of light sliced through the void, aiming for Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Suppress!¡±


    Hemu Semi-Divine swung his Divine Staff, colliding fiercely, and was once again forced back, his disadvantage even more evident.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°Damn it!!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes were full of anger, ¡°His Sword Technique is quite average, just Semi-Divine Peak level¡­ and yet he can wield such powerful might, continuing without end. I find it hard to harness the mysteries of the Dao to repel him; it¡¯s the issue with that Divine Artifact.¡±


    ¡°How did the Seven Star Civilization obtain so many powerful Divine Artifacts?¡±


    In terms of cultivation realm, Hemu Semi-Divine was slightly higher.


    But in combat, it¡¯s not just about the subtlety of the moves but also about the might of Star Techniques, Divine Artifacts, and many other aspects.


    Experts in different Laws would also display subtle differences in the ingeniousness of their moves.


    Like Hemu Semi-Divine, who contemplated the Fire Law, his attacks were the most ferocious, with extremely strong bursts.


    Fang Hai, on the other hand, contemplated the Law of Water. With a Divine Artifact in hand, he was clearly employing an extremely tricky Sword Technique.


    ¡°Kill!¡± As Fang Hai struck with his saber again, every slash seemed like the burst of a vast ocean, its might not only terrifyingly frightful but also relentless in its assault.


    Underneath this Origin Power Array, Fang Hai was like a god, irresistible.


    No matter how Hemu Semi-Divine executed his techniques, he couldn¡¯t shake off Fang Hai; instead, his disadvantage became more and more apparent.


    After all, his techniques were based on direct attacks.


    Now that even frontal attacks were inferior to Fang Hai¡¯s, resisting became even more difficult.


    ¡°The others, they¡¯re also not winning.¡± As Hemu Semi-Divine defended against Fang Hai¡¯s assaults, he surveyed other directions of the battlefield, ¡°That Blood Cloth is tough to handle, full of vitality, and it seems Ye An can¡¯t subdue him either; Li Yuan¡¯s strength¡­ is surprisingly powerful.¡±


    ¡°In theory, eighteen Semi-Divine Peaks should be enough to overwhelm the other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But Li Yuan alone is engaging three Semi-Divine Peaks,¡± Hemu Semi-Divine shook his head, ¡°That Spirit Beast of Li Yuan¡¯s is extremely fast, drifting through every area of the battlefield, aiding everywhere.¡±


    ¡°The other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization seem to all have defensive Divine Artifacts, their defensive powers are quite astonishing,¡± Hemu Semi-Divine felt a headache coming on, ¡°With the numerical advantage, they have managed to hold back the others.¡±


    One couldn¡¯t know without clashing.


    But in true combat, the strength of the Seven Star Civilization was much more formidable than he had anticipated.


    ¡°Should we retreat?¡± Hemu Semi-Divine immediately used communicative means to relay the message to his own divine being.


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Demon Mountain Star.


    Above the entrance to the Star Realm, spanning over a hundred kilometers in diameter.


    ¡°The means left behind by Dongfang Ji are truly troublesome! This Origin Power Array probably rivals the ¡®Myriad Demons Array¡¯ left by the Ancestor,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity frowned.


    Three Divine entities had been waiting here, with several massive light screens before them.


    They were displaying the ongoing conflict with the Demigod combatants of the Myriad Demons Civilization,


    Enabling the three Divine entities to analyze the battle situation.


    ¡°The growth rate of both Li Yuan and Fang Hai is astonishing,¡± the Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°Fang Hai is formidable, which is one thing, but his realm shouldn¡¯t be that high yet, not having reached the Seventh Stage High Rank¡­ It¡¯s just that his foundation is strong and his Divine Artifact is special.¡±


    ¡°That Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°According to the communication from the Semi-Divine Pu Ren who fought with him, his Spear Technique is feared to be on par with the Seventh Stage High Rank,¡± the Bei Yue Deity whispered. ¡°He¡¯s just in the Flying Heaven Realm, but he already possesses the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak. With the Formation¡¯s enhancement, he¡¯s even close to the Semi-Divine Limit. What would become of him once he breaks through and becomes Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°This Li Yuan, his Comprehension is truly high,¡± the East Demon Deity also frowned.


    They all felt troubled. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Originally, they thought that with Dongfang Ji¡¯s departure, the Seven Star Civilization would be completely defeated in one fell swoop, even possibly leading to the deaths of Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    But now, how would they kill them?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be disheartened, at least we now see the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s hidden strength,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity said. ¡°What we need to decide now is whether to retreat first or to commit more forces?¡±


    The Bei Yue Deity looked to the Wan Mo Deity.


    Now, even though the battlefield was in a stalemate, it was important to remember that the forces the Myriad Demons Civilization had deployed were only a small part.


    ¡°Retreat?¡±


    The East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered with intent; his original desire was to use this force to break through the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s defenses¡­ Then, they could probe whether Dongfang Ji was still alive.


    If he was, the losses would be within an acceptable range.


    But now, less than half the number of Semi-Divine combatants from the Seven Star Civilization had held back his Vanguard Army.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization should not have just this level of resources,¡± the East Demon Deity frowned.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Not good!¡± the Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s face changed slightly. ¡°How could this be! So many Semi-Divine Puppets!¡±


    ¡°Each one is terrifyingly powerful, all at the Semi-Divine Peak,¡± the Bei Yue Deity¡¯s face also changed slightly. ¡°There are far too many of them.¡±


    They had received a message.


    It was a plea for help!


    ¡°Is this the card Dongfang Ji left behind?¡±


    ¡°The emergence of two Semi-Divine Limit Experts should warrant Dongfang Ji¡¯s intervention, justifying his arrangement for this occasion.¡±


    ¡°But he has yet to show himself, so he¡¯s probably dead,¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes were cold as he finally made a decision. ¡°If we don¡¯t rescue them, we are likely to lose a large number of Semi-Divine Peak combatants. Attack! Let¡¯s take a gamble!¡±


    Fueling an ongoing assault is a forbidden tactic in war, a fact that the East Demon Deity well understood.


    Having made his decision, it was clear that he intended to commit fully to the battle.


    Whoosh!


    The East Demon Deity waved his hand, and immediately hundreds of figures appeared, each emanating the aura of a Semi-Divine being.


    They were the Semi-Divine army previously gathered by the East Demon Deity.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Head immediately to the Seven Star Civilization and fight with all your might; annihilate them,¡± commanded the East Demon Deity.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Attack!¡± ¡°Move!¡± Several Responsible Semi-Divine Peak Experts immediately summoned their Warships, following which the Warships gathered up the crowd of Semi-Divine combatants and shot like beams of light into the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    However, it would take a significant amount of time for these Semi-Divine reinforcements to arrive.


    ¡­


    In the Feixing, within the area covered by the Origin Power Array.


    As the battle reached a certain intensity, Fang Hai¡¯s voice rang out in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve begun to divide these Alien Race Semi-Divine beings, and they are now quite far from the Star Realm Passage. It¡¯s about time we made our move.¡±


    ¡°Understood, Principal,¡± replied Li Yuan.


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets dressed in black Combat Armor calmly waited there.


    Dongfang Ji had left a total of forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets.


    Twenty were controlled by Fang Hai, and the other twenty were controlled by Li Yuan, alternating control to spread the risk¡­ Very few knew of this hidden force.


    Only Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Lant were aware.


    Before the battle, as part of the core circle, they had already agreed that this hidden force should not be revealed lightly and that once it was unleashed, it must deal a significant blow to the enemy.


    Ideally, it should severely deter the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    If they deployed this force at the beginning of the encounter, it would only intimidate the Vanguard Army of the Myriad Demons Civilization, who might then directly flee through the Star Realm Passage¡­ But after fighting this long, without them noticing, Li Yuan and Fang Hai had already reached directly above the Star Realm Passage.


    Conversely, many Semi-Divine beings from the Myriad Demons Civilization had already flown beyond the range of the Star Realm Passage.


    The time had come.


    ¡°Strike! To battle!¡± Li Yuan thought, and instantly, the twenty Semi-Divine Puppets in the hall exploded with powerful auras, fully activated and operational, and were immediately teleported by Li Yuan to the outside world.


    Almost simultaneously.


    Fang Hai also teleported the other twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets to the outside world.


    This was a terrifying force capable of changing the course of battle!

    Chapter 713: Chapter 384: Heavy Casualties! This is War


    Demon Mountain Star, the three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization all waited here, watching the battle all along.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°East Demon, have you ordered the other Star Realms to launch their attacks?¡± Bei Yue Deity¡¯s expression shifted slightly as if she had received a message.


    ¡°Now that the probing is over and we¡¯ve opted for all-out war, naturally, all the Third Level Star Realms don¡¯t have to hold back any longer,¡± the East Demon Deity said softly. ¡°They are just support but can also deal a certain amount of damage to the Seven Stars Civilization and even tie down some Semi-Divines, preventing them from daring to head to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Bei Yue Deity sighed softly. ¡°I just don¡¯t know how many will die in this war.¡±


    She seemed to see, within the many Third Level Star Realms shared by the Seven Stars Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization, the Flying Heaven Realm Martial Artists engaging in frenzied combat, countless lives falling.


    ...


    ¡°For civilization.¡±


    ¡°A minor loss is nothing to mention.¡±


    ¡°Even if they don¡¯t die on the battlefield, they will eventually die there,¡± the East Demon Deity said indifferently. ¡°Even if half the Demigods are killed or injured and all the Flying Heaven Realm fall¡­ the remaining Demigods will still be enough to bring back ample treasures from the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°As long as we deities live, after a few hundred years, the number of experts in our civilization will naturally recover to normal.¡±


    Qiong Jin Deity was very calm; four thousand years of cultivation had shown him too much life and death. Most of the disciples he had taken in had died of old age before him¡­


    Bei Yue Deity had a hint of reluctance in her eyes; after all, she was the youngest of the three deities.


    ¡°Bad news, Pu Ren is in danger. Those Semi-Divine Peak Puppets are too formidable,¡± Bei Yue Deity focused on the distant huge screens.


    Many screens were shaking, clearly, the Semi-Divines conveying the messages were struggling to hold on.


    ¡­


    Time returned to half a minute before on Feixing, under the envelopment of the Origin Power Array.


    The fierce battle between the two sides had been deadlocked, with neither side able to gain an absolute advantage.


    In some sense, the army of the Myriad Demons Civilization had the upper hand.


    After all, the experts they dispatched were all at the level of Semi-Divine Peak. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    While the Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization, even with the Origin Power Array support, were only comparable in power on a basic level and were completely outdone in techniques.


    However, the Seven Stars Civilization had more Semi-Divine numbers, coupled with Liu Bing¡¯s insane support; under the array¡¯s enhancement, her flying speed was more than twice that of other Semi-Divines.


    Twice the speed, what did that mean?


    In life-and-death combat, a 10% difference in speed was already significant. Being so much faster allowed Liu Bing to freely support the entire field.


    On the other hand, her strength was also enough.


    ¡°Ha ha, big brother, originally, using the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, my foundation was just comparable to level 41, but with this formation¡¯s support, I can fully match level 44,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s Soul Transmission Sound said.


    And Liu Bing¡¯s Law Comprehension, among the Semi-Divine Peak experts, was among the very best.


    She also possessed several Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifacts, especially one offensive Artifact, which took her attack power to the Semi-Divine Peak level, capable of contending with each opponent.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast is too amazing.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, yet able to burst forth with Semi-Divine Peak strength, its speed is also terrifying.¡±


    ¡°In terms of attack, not up to Vice Alliance Hierarch, but the speed is too terrifying, the restraining effect it produced, not the slightest less than Vice Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Without this Flying Serpent, we absolutely couldn¡¯t withstand the attacks of over a dozen Semi-Divine Peak experts,¡± the Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization were both shocked and relieved.


    Just then¡ª¡ª


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!¡­ Beside Li Yuan and Fang Hai, one figure after another, emanating powerful auras, began to appear.


    There were fully forty figures, each one¡¯s aura terrifying, and bringing them together was even more disastrous.


    Wild auras caused the entire battlefield to quiet down for a moment.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Peak?¡±


    ¡°No, not lifeforms! They¡¯re puppets, Combat Puppets.¡± Whether it was Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, and other Seven Stars Civilization powerhouses, or Pu Ren Semi-Divine, Hemu Semi-Divine, and other Myriad Demons Civilization powerhouses, they were all somewhat shocked.


    If it were just the numbers, it would still be manageable.


    The key was that the aura emitted by each Puppet was too terrifying, where had these come from?


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Fight for the master, exterminate the Alien Race!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± The Semi-Divine Puppets, each holding a giant sword and emanating a surging aura, focused on their respective targets: ¡°Those who dare offend the master, must be killed! Kill! Kill! Kill!¡±


    Boom Boom Boom!


    They saw up to forty figures moving at once, their bodies igniting with black light, their speed skyrocketing, charging directly at the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divines.


    ¡°Was it the Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch that summoned them?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the force of my Seven Stars Civilization!!¡±


    ¡°Ha ha ha, too awesome.¡±


    ¡°I love it.¡± The powerhouses of the Seven Stars Civilization were utterly excited. They never imagined that their side had such a horrifying hidden force; not a hint of it had leaked before.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°So many Semi-Divine Peak Puppets?¡±


    ¡°How can the Seven Stars Civilization possess so many formidable Puppets?¡± Hemu Semi-Divine, Ye An Semi-Divine, their expressions all changed.


    Before the battle.


    They did everything possible, secretly communicated with some Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization, used controlled Flying Heaven Martial Artists spies to gather intelligence¡­ but only knew that the Seven Stars Civilization had an Origin Power Array, its power unknown.


    As for Semi-Divine Peak Puppets? They found nothing at all.


    Clearly, this was the most secret force of the Seven Stars Civilization¡­ it was for this critical moment to strike them hard.


    In life-and-death battles, the worst thing is for the enemy to have hidden forces.


    Like this time, if they knew that the Seven Stars Civilization had so many Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, the East Demon Deity definitely wouldn¡¯t have just used the forces present for probing, at least twenty more Semi-Divine Peak experts would have been dispatched.

    ¡°`


    Or simply abandon the probing and launch a full-scale invasion.


    ¡°Retreat! Retreat!¡± commanded Ye An Semi Divine in an anxious voice that echoed in the minds of every demigod within the Myriad Demons Civilization, ¡°Don¡¯t engage in combat, fall back to the Demon Mountain Star Realm, where they don¡¯t have their Origin Power Array.¡±


    But would Li Yuan and Fang Hai allow them to have their way?


    Having waited so long, they were intent on cutting off the escape route of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s vast army.


    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡± Twenty of the Semi-Divine Peak Puppets formed an imposing formation, effectively blocking the entry and exit points of the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    ...


    They held back from attacking, ready to launch long-range assaults instead, preventing the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s experts from drawing close.


    Bear in mind, that the entire Star Realm¡¯s entry point was less than a hundred kilometers in diameter.


    Such a small area, defended by twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets? More than enough.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Charge!¡±


    ¡°Entangle them, don¡¯t let them escape.¡± The demigods of the Seven Star Civilization were frenzied, seeing the hope of slaying the demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Another twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, ten of which were supporting other demigods, engaged in ferocious combat time and again.


    The last ten were each following Li Yuan and Fang Hai, attacking their respective opponents.


    ¡°Sea Chanting Realm!¡±


    Fang Hai swung his Combat Saber, unleashing his strongest move once again. The saber light flooded like a torrent, and even as Hemu Semi Divine frantically dodged, he was struck yet again. The ground beneath his feet seemed to grow marshy, and his speed was sharply reduced once more.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± Five Semi-Divine Puppets each brandished their Divine Swords, attacking Hemu Semi Divine from different directions.


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Hemu Semi Divine roared angrily, swinging his Divine Staff powerfully to collide with the Divine Swords streaking across the vast sky.


    Every clash resulted in astounding shockwaves. Hemu Semi Divine stood unshaken, while the Semi-Divine Puppets were sent flying backward.


    ¡°The Semi-Divine Limit is indeed troublesome,¡± Fang Hai admitted without much concern. He had never intended to defeat Hemu Semi Divine with just the five Semi-Divine Puppets¡ªit was merely additional restraint.


    Ultimately, victory and defeat would still hinge on his own strength.


    After all, the gap between the Semi-Divine Peak and the Semi-Divine Limit was huge.


    Typically, a demigod who had reached level 45 and who could master two Sixth Layer Star Techniques, coupled with a Seventh Stage Intermediate Rank Law Comprehension, could be considered a Semi-Divine Peak.


    However, to attain the Semi-Divine Limit, not only must one¡¯s Origin Power cultivation reach level 46 and control Seventh Layer Star Techniques, but one¡¯s Law Comprehension must also reach the Seventh Stage High Rank, in addition to possessing a superior Pseudo-God Artifact that complements oneself¡­ Only then could one be acknowledged as a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.


    Like the Vanguard Army of the Myriad Demons Civilization, six of the demigods had Six Star Pulses, with their Origin Power cultivated to level 46.


    But among them, only Hemu Semi Divine and Ye An Semi Divine could be called Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    The other four level 46 experts were still categorized as Semi-Divine Peak.


    Fang Hai compensated for his lack of Law Comprehension with the Ninth Layer Star Technique, plus the empowerment from the Divine Artifact and the Origin Power Array¡­ Only then could he overpower Hemu Semi Divine.


    Without the Origin Power Array, Fang Hai¡¯s strength was only comparable to that of Hemu Semi Divine.


    ¡­Hemu Semi Divine was able to withstand the frenzied attacks from Fang Hai and five Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    Ye An Semi Divine was even handling it with ease.


    But the other demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization were in a dire situation, especially the three facing Li Yuan.


    These three were already at a deadlock with Li Yuan, and now with the addition of a troop of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, they couldn¡¯t hold out any longer.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan led the five Puppets and drove them back without a chance to resist, forcing them to retreat step by step.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan wielded his Long Spear, exerting himself to unleash his killing moves. He was well aware that this was the critical point for turning the tide.


    ¡°In terms of strength, only the Principal and Blood Cloth Semi-Divine are superior to me,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was ice-cold: ¡°But they are contending with Semi-Divine Limit Experts¡­ I must break the stalemate.¡±


    Forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, if they strike, they must achieve results.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± Four Semi-Divine Peak Puppets joined forces and, in the blink of an eye, completely suppressed the level 46 demigod wielding the God Lock Hammer. No one was left to aid Pu Ren Semi Divine.


    ¡°This is bad.¡± Pu Ren Semi Divine sensed the danger, panicking and trying to flee.


    Boom!


    A blue streak cut across the Vast Sky, unmistakably Liu Bing responding to Li Yuan¡¯s transmission and swooping in for the kill.


    With wings that shadowed the sky, they slashed like two massive Combat Sabers against Pu Ren Semi Divine¡¯s own saber.


    ¡°Quell! Heaven and Earth River!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s body suddenly burst forth with light, finally unleashing another one of his Nine Layer Star Techniques. Streams of light like rivers enveloped Pu Ren Semi Divine, causing his speed to drop sharply once more.


    This Domain Star Technique, when combined with the might of the Origin Power Array, provided an exaggerated level of binding capability.


    ¡°Help me, quick!¡±


    ¡°Save me!¡± Pu Ren Semi Divine sent out frantic transmissions. He knew the gap between his strength and Li Yuan¡¯s.


    And now, he faced not only a Semi-Divine Puppet but also the aid of Liu Bing.


    Yet, with forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, such a fearsome force joining the fray, the other demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization could hardly fend for themselves, let alone come to his rescue?


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The Divine Spear made a Straight Thrust.


    ¡°Huff!¡± Claws howled through the air.


    And a Divine Sword was also on the attack.


    Despite Pu Ren Semi Divine¡¯s desperate defenses, he only managed to withstand a few strikes before he was forced onto the back foot, passively receiving blows. Each hit caused his Life Breath to diminish rapidly, his bodily wounds deepening and his own resisting force weakening further.


    In the blink of an eye, after a dozen or so strikes.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    A beam of Spear Light pierced through the skull, stabbing directly into his brow. The terrifying might within the Spear Light instantly obliterated his mind, as his soul rapidly began to dissipate.


    ¡°No!!¡± Pu Ren Semi Divine¡¯s eyes were filled with unwillingness, but his Life Breath was steadily fading away.

 Chapter 715 - 384 Devastating Casualties! This is War_3

    Chapter 715: Chapter 384 Devastating Casualties! This is War_3


    In the Semi-Divine Realm, the body has almost no weaknesses; even if the heart shatters or the skull fractures, the powerful Origin Power swiftly heals it.


    Thus, there are only three ways to kill a demigod.


    The first is to use an overwhelming attack, repeatedly bombarding the body until it can no longer withstand and collapses, but the difficulty is too high¡­ unless there is a huge gap in strength, it usually takes hundreds to thousands of exchanges.


    The second is to attack its skull, the residence of the soul, which is the only weakness of a demigod. This is the most common method of killing.


    The third, soul eradication, is the most difficult.


    ¡°Demigod Peak, truly hard to kill,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself. ¡°But still, I managed to kill one.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan glanced sideways at the Divine Palace panel.


    [You have killed a Fourth Rank life, obtained Spirituality Nourishment, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 76.3%]


    ¡°Killing a Semi-Divine Peak Expert seems to yield considerably more Spirituality Nourishment than killing an ordinary demigod,¡± a thought flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The last time on Lantie Star, the three demigods he had killed had just broken through to Level 40, their strength much weaker.


    ¡°I¡¯ll research it later.¡±


    Li Yuan suppressed the many thoughts in his mind, waved his hand to collect many demigods left by Pu Ren, and transmitted his voice, ¡°Little Ice, continue to attack other demigods with me.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing replied excitedly. As a Divine Beast, she inherently loved battling. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Every powerful race had transformed into such through countless battles among blood and fire.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has killed a demigod,¡± San Ye Semi Divine and Blood Cloth Semi-Divine both showed a trace of joy.


    They had finally killed one.


    ¡°Pu Ren is dead?¡±


    ¡°So quickly, we have lost one?¡± The demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization, having sensed the fall of Pu Ren, were somewhat panicked.


    It seemed only one had fallen.


    But with the death of Pu Ren Semi Divine in battle, this powerful demigod, Li Yuan, would be able to deal with other demigods¡­ The situation would only get worse.


    In warfare, it is never simply a straightforward exchange.


    Once one side gains even a slight advantage, with the passage of time, the advantage would continuously expand, ultimately snowballing easily.


    ¡°What should we do?¡±


    ¡°The group of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets and Fang Hai have blocked the passage. We simply can¡¯t break through.¡±


    ¡°Under the Origin Power Array, their flying speed is also faster,¡± these demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization panicked.


    They had all tried.


    This Origin Power Array, they absolutely couldn¡¯t break through a range of three hundred kilometers; the outermost part had extremely strong First Layer Defense, exceptionally tough¡­ The only retreat path was also blocked.


    Even the powerful Hemu Semi Divine couldn¡¯t break through the defense of Fang Hai and a group of Semi-Divine Puppets.


    If this continued, they would be slaughtered to the last.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°Try to hold out together,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said anxiously, ¡°The Eastern Demon Deity has already sent a message; the Demigod army has set out and is rushing at full speed to support us.¡±


    ¡°Five minutes, and they¡¯ll be here.¡±


    Five minutes? This group of Myriad Demons Civilization demigods felt like spitting blood hearing this; in a life-or-death struggle, every second is crucial.


    But such was the situation.


    If they couldn¡¯t hold out, they would die!


    ¡°Join forces.¡±


    ¡°Gather together, join forces to defend; the chances of holding out will be greater.¡± These Myriad Demons Civilization demigods tried their best to gather.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Exterminate them!¡± The Seven Stars Civilization demigods, on the other hand, were in high spirits, especially Li Yuan and Liu Bing. The two of them moved extremely fast, unrestrained by anyone. Together with a large number of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, they were like entering a realm of no resistance, crazily attacking.


    ¡°Perish.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Spear thrust out again, the Spear Light swept through the Vast Sky, suddenly splitting into nine, enigmatically and directly dodging that huge War Hammer, piercing the opponent¡¯s skull.


    Another demigod, dead!


    Time ticked away by the second, and despite resisting with all their might, the Myriad Demons Civilization demigods continued to fall.


    In a very short period, five had already fallen.


    Three of them were slain by Li Yuan.


    The advantage further expanded.


    ¡°Be careful, Qinghe Semi Divine,¡± Li Yuan and Blood Cloth Semi Divine both changed expressions.


    Two Myriad Demons Civilization demigods, suddenly erupting amidst being surrounded, ignored other attacks altogether and attacked Qinghe Semi Divine with insane fervor.


    One of them, bearing the brunt of overwhelming attacks, deployed a Binding Divine Artifact and instantly entangled Qinghe Semi Divine.


    The other demigod, also sparing no cost, used the Escaping Method Star Technique, approached like lightning, and then his body burst into terrifying flames, his Life Breath rapidly dissipating, but the aura of that flame kept soaring¡­ This flame contained terrifying might.


    The flames directly enveloped Qinghe Semi Divine!


    ¡°It¡¯s Devouring Divine Fire!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s actually this Fifth Layers Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°No good!¡± Although the Seven Stars Civilization army held an absolute advantage, the opponent¡¯s dying counterattack came too swiftly; in just one second, even Liu Bing couldn¡¯t rush to the rescue.


    ¡°Hissss~¡± In the blink of an eye, even though Qinghe Semi Divine was supported by the Origin Power Array, his body was instantly annihilated; the opposing demigod died even sooner.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Tianhuo Semi Divine was immensely furious; he and Qinghe Semi Divine were close friends.


    ¡°Qinghe!¡±


    ¡°Everyone, be more careful.¡± The other Seven Stars Civilization demigods were also anxious and furious.


    ¡°Qinghe Semi Divine,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally. Although he was only on general terms with Qinghe Semi Divine, being a part of the Seven Stars Civilization, he naturally felt quite saddened.


    It was just that, the burst was too rapid.


    ¡°Devouring Divine Fire,¡± a rather reputed Star Technique, it was just a Fifth Layers Star Technique, but when combined with the application of a secret technique, it possessed terrifying might¡­ that instant of eruption was absolutely close to the burst of a Nine Layers Star Technique.


    Only two issues.


    First, it requires a very high level of comprehension of the Fire Law.


    Second, this Star Technique, once used, burns the Life Origin, truly a death-defying technique¡­ if used for slightly longer, it results in demise.


    Qinghe Semi Divine, initially only a Semi-Divine Initial Rank¡­ facing a top-echelon demigod employing ¡°Devouring Divine Fire,¡± even with the support of the Origin Power Array, couldn¡¯t hold out for long.


    Such is war.

    Chapter 716: Chapter 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!


    ¡°Uh? The reinforcements from the Myriad Demons Civilization, have they arrived?¡± Li Yuan sensed strong forces of heaven and earth at the entrance of the Star Realm, and he couldn¡¯t help but glance over.


    The speed of the enemy reinforcements was faster than Li Yuan had anticipated.


    ¡°The principal and the others are still trying to block them.¡± Li Yuan looked towards Fang Hai and the twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets who had not yet taken the initiative to attack; their bodies were surrounded by golden light.


    It was the Origin Power Array.


    Endless surging golden light gathered from thousands of kilometers around in the void, forming an extremely terrifying cloud of golden light. This cloud of golden light, imbued with fearsome might, blocked the entrance to the Star Realm.


    A few minutes earlier.


    ...


    The demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization had tried time and again to break through the golden light cloud, but none were successful, not even with the combined efforts of Blood Cloth Semi-Divine and Ye An Semi-Divine, as Fang Hai blocked them.


    In the end, they were trapped in this narrow area, unable to escape, and could only desperately fend off the attacks of the Seven Stars Civilization¡¯s army.


    But now.


    Terrifying fluctuations were coming from the other side, attacking the golden light cloud and also attacking Fang Hai and the twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets guarding the passage.


    ¡°The reinforcements have arrived.¡±


    ¡°Hold on!!¡±


    ¡°Just hold on for a moment longer, and we can start the counterattack. The Divine have already commanded the entire army to kill here.¡±


    At this moment, the demigods of the Seven Stars Civilization were tense, while the remaining five powerful experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization were incredibly excited.


    Their losses were too severe.


    You should know, as the vanguard, they had all been bestowed with Divine Artifacts, and each of them was a Semi-Divine Peak¡­ in terms of strength, actually not inferior to Li Yuan, some even comparable to the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine.


    Without the help of a formation, this vanguard could have easily slaughtered the demigods of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    However, in this battle, they were first suppressed by the Origin Power Array, then by the dozens of additional Semi-Divine Puppets.


    They were being slaughtered one by one.


    In less than five minutes, thirteen Semi-Divine Peak experts had fallen, only managing to kill two Seven Stars Semi-Divine¡­ the dead, were also only Semi-Divine Initial Rank.

    ¡°Quick.¡±

    ¡°Bang~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± In the void, the demigods and Semi-Divine Puppets of the Seven Stars Civilization were all exerting their utmost strength, attacking Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine.


    Only, those who could survive the siege of a large group of demigods, were the remaining five demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Besides two Semi-Divine Limit Experts, the rest were level 46, and all had extremely strong survival capabilities.


    ¡°Eternal Night Realm!¡± Ye An Semi-Divine was suspended in the void, having already deployed his strongest technique.


    Swish, swish, swish~ Endless surges of Origin Power, along with nine huge bronze ancient mirrors, together condensed to form a dark world encompassing over ten kilometers.


    These nine bronze ancient mirrors, each taken out separately were quite ordinary, the kind of ordinary Divine Artifact¡­ but when combined, they could achieve a perfect integration.


    It was also quite in tune with his ultimate technique.

    With Ye An Semi-Divine at the core, the nine Divine Artifact Ancient Mirrors as support, the might erupted, managing to negate a large portion of the Origin Power Array¡¯s suppressing force.


    Beams of dark light shot out, at first glance, it looked like a vast darkness!


    ¡°Roar!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± Each of those roaring Semi-Divine Puppets, whenever they swung their Divine Swords to try and penetrate, also suffered attacks from the dark light, but with the strength of these Semi-Divine Puppets, they could easily resist.


    However, the closer they got to Ye An Semi-Divine, the stronger the suppression the Semi-Divine Puppets experienced.


    ¡°Blood Demon!¡± Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, his body surrounded by numerous blood and golden lights, battle spirit soaring, once again deployed his attacking Star Technique, his pair of large hands like two blood-red clouds, repeatedly cleaving the dark light apart, attempting to attack Ye An Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Divine Wood Forest!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine, his body ablaze with flames, stood right in front of Ye An Semi-Divine, incredibly dazzling within the dark world, swung the Divine Staff in his hands time after time.


    With each swing, it was as if the heavens and the earth were splitting apart, the Power of Heaven and Earth surged wildly, knocking the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine back.


    The attacks of the Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, though occasionally hitting Hemu Semi-Divine, were directly withstood by him.


    ¡°It¡¯s too difficult to kill.¡±


    ¡°Are Semi-Divine Limit Experts all this terrifying?¡± The demigods of the Seven Stars Civilization all felt their hearts quivering and their heads aching.


    Like the Snow Dragon Demigod, Flame City Demigod, San Ye Demigod, and others, even with the enhancement of the Origin Power Array, their strength was not even close to the Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, posing even lesser threats.


    In the past, they knew the Semi-Divine Limit Experts were formidable, but only through a real fight to the death did they understand how terrifying they were.


    If not for the suppression of the Origin Power Array making it impossible for them to escape, one Semi-Divine Limit Expert defeating more than ten Semi-Divine Peak experts was quite normal.


    In fact, if it wasn¡¯t for Fang Hai¡¯s Sword Technique being too tricky, always guarding the entrance to the Star Realm, Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine would have already escaped.


    In another direction in the dark world.


    ¡°Swish, swish, swish!¡± Streaks of Spear Light howled, Li Yuan sometimes transformed into nine figures, sometimes merged mysteriously, furiously attacking the three Wan Mo demigods not far away.


    Their strength, all comparable to Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, yet extremely embarrassed under Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    Besides Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and many other Semi-Divine Puppets, were also furiously attacking, striving to create opportunities for Li Yuan.

    Chapter 717: Chapter 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_2


    ¡°Not good!¡± A burly demigod wielding a sword and shield suddenly let out a terrified roar; he had just been knocked back by Liu Bing¡¯s attack, at the moment when his old strength had faded and new strength had not yet arisen.


    ¡°Thud!¡±


    A long spear penetrated his chest, followed by the spear tip violently shaking. It then forcefully tore upward from his chest, drilling directly into his skull¡­ The head exploded.


    Dead!


    ¡°Another one killed.¡±


    ¡°Only four left.¡± The other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization were incredibly excited and looked at Li Yuan with great admiration.


    ...


    Throughout the fierce battle between the great armies, Fang Hai was the strongest, but most of his energy was focused on guarding the entrance to the Star Realm. Blood Cloth Semi-Divine was restraining the Semi-Divine Limit Expert¡­ Yet, the one who had killed the most enemies was Li Yuan.


    His Spear Technique was too unpredictable.


    ¡°Jian Qian is also dead.¡±


    ¡°That damned Li Yuan.¡± Hemu Semi-Divine and Ye An Semi-Divine also saw this scene, their hearts filled with anger but also a sense of powerlessness.


    Although the two of them were strong, they were already struggling to hold on against the siege of so many experts, with no chance to spare any attention to the rescue.


    However.


    Li Yuan, who had just slain another demigod, felt little joy in his heart.


    His gaze flicked to the distance.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Tens of kilometers away at the entrance to the Star Realm, the shaking was even more violent. The converging golden light was dissipating, clearly near collapse, and it wouldn¡¯t hold much longer.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late.¡±


    ¡°I must use the killing move now.¡± Li Yuan had already made a decision in his heart. With a flip of his palm, a black crystal stone appeared in his palm. As Origin Power was infused into it, the crystal stone emitted a heartbeat-stopping aura.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°What is that?¡± Many people noticed this scene. Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine felt even more terrified, sensing a deadly threat.


    ¡°Big brother.¡± Liu Bing looked at Li Yuan in shock; she could feel the terror of the black crystal stone.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you really going to use this secret treasure? This is something meant to save your life, and you want to use it here?¡± Gu You¡¯s anxious voice sounded: ¡°Even if you lose this battle, there¡¯s no threat to you. With Liu Bing¡¯s help, you can definitely leave unscathed.¡±


    ¡°I have no choice.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too hard to kill a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes showed determination: ¡°In this initial battle, we had the advantage of time and place, yet we lost two demigods¡­ If the Wan Mo army breaks through, hundreds of demigods led by two Semi-Divine Limit Experts¡­ We have no hope at all.¡±


    ¡°We must kill the Semi-Divine Limit Expert first.¡±


    ¡°Then, even if we lose this battle at the entrance to the Star Realm, if we retreat from Feixing¡­ with the principal¡¯s strength, we can hope to defeat the Wan Mo demigods one by one.¡± Li Yuan had already thought everything through.


    He had to take out their top-level combat power.


    Treasure?


    It¡¯s meant to be used at critical moments!


    ¡°Hum~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, he had already activated the black crystal stone.


    ¡°Rumble!¡±


    What seemed slow to describe was in fact the rapid exchange between Li Yuan and Gu You. The very next instant after Li Yuan took out the black crystal stone, he completely activated it.


    Terrifying might erupted, and behind him appeared a massive sun with a diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers, its light endless.


    Except that this sun was ¡®earthen yellow.¡¯


    At that moment, the entire heaven and earth seemed to be oppressed by the might emitted by this earthen yellow sun.


    Even the Origin Power Array that covered thousands of kilometers, and the Eternal Night Realm wielded by Ye An Semi-Divine, seemed to tremble.


    ¡°This power¡­¡±


    ¡°No wonder it was said that I had to cross into the Threshold of the Law of Earth to control it.¡± Li Yuan was incredibly shocked, feeling as though he bore the weight of an entire world.


    Absolute control! Unimaginably terrifying power!


    But precisely because this power was too strong, Li Yuan could barely control it, managing only a tenuous manipulation.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Struggling to maintain control, Li Yuan focused his will, setting his gaze toward Ye An Semi-Divine at the end of the void.


    In terms of attack power, Hemu Semi-Divine was stronger.


    But in terms of threat, Li Yuan deemed Ye An Semi-Divine to be even greater.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    The nearly thousand-kilometer-wide earthen yellow sun suddenly collapsed inward from the edge, like a black hole imploding; in an instant, it shrank to a mere point.


    That point burst forth instantly.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± A destructive beam of light, filled with annihilating essence, streaked across the heavens and earth. Terrifyingly fast, faster than any weapon, it headed straight for Ye An Semi-Divine, at the center of the Eternal Night Realm.


    Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!


    Countless dark beams roared, trying to block this earthen yellow light, but they were crushed effortlessly, unable to even slow it down.


    ¡°No!!¡± Madness shone in the eyes of Ye An Semi-Divine; he truly did not want to die.


    In this moment of life and death.


    ¡°Boundary Fire!¡±


    Hemu Semi-Divine, who had been struggling to defend, suddenly burst forth. In his palm appeared two flames emitting a powerful presence, which shot forth and became two dazzling fire dragons in the void.


    The might emitted by the fire dragons also made the present demigods tremble.


    This!


    Was the life-saving secret treasure given to Hemu Semi-Divine by the Eastern Demon Deity¡­ Such Law Treasures were generally crafted only by True Gods and were extremely valuable.


    Throughout the history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, True Gods of Wan Mo left behind over a dozen Law Treasures¡­ Over the long years, there were very few such treasures left.


    If not for the knowledge that Fang Hai and Li Yuan were difficult to deal with.


    The Eastern Demon Deity certainly would not have taken one out.


    According to the Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s intention, unless the two Semi-Divine Limit Experts faced life-threatening danger, there was no need to use it.


    ¡°This Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He really is extravagant! To actually have such exotic treasures.¡± Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s heart bled; such Law Treasures had the power to reach the Pseudo-God Level.

 Chapter 718 - 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_3

    Chapter 718: Chapter 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_3


    Powerful enough to kill a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.


    One can imagine how precious it must be.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Two fire dragons, each a kilometer in length, roared as they circled each other at equally terrifying speeds, colliding head-on with the dazzling flow of light unleashed by Li Yuan!


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡±


    It was as though two Pseudo-Gods were clashing in combat; the horrifying aftermath instantly surged in all directions, shaking the heavens and earth, causing the Seven Stars Semi-Divine and Semi-Divine Puppets to be thrown into disarray.


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    ...


    Under this aftermath, even the Eternal Night Realm cast by Ye An Semi Divine was torn asunder, his aura greatly diminished.


    ¡°Thump!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine was also sent flying backward, but a hint of excitement and relief flickered across his face, ¡°It¡¯s blocked!¡±


    Had it not been blocked, Ye An Semi-Divine might have perished on the spot, and he too would have suffered great damage.


    ¡°Blocked?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart sank to the depths, ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization, indeed, possesses similar Secret Treasures.¡±


    The Myriad Demons Civilization, after all, was a powerful civilization that had birthed True Gods; the existence of such treasures did not surprise him too much.


    However!


    He possessed only this single artifact of such might.


    Liu Bing did have one¡­ but this war had nothing to do with her, and Li Yuan was not going to insist she sacrifice her lifeline.


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡±


    From the distant entrance of the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the cloud of Golden Light suddenly collapsed, the entire Origin Power Array trembling violently like an overturned sea.


    ¡°Thump! Thump! Thump!¡± Fang Hai, along with those twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, followed the collapse of the Golden Light cloud; they were struck and sent shooting into the sky, utterly disheveled.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Figures exuding potent auras emerged from the gateway of the star realm, each releasing a terrifying presence, their momentum unstoppable.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°The attack has finally commenced.¡±


    ¡°Haha, this is the Feixing of the Seven Star Civilization! Let the battle begin!¡± shouts of excitement echoed through the Vast Sky.


    Quantity leads to a qualitative change.


    As they gathered together, the mere invisible surge of Origin Power rendered the countless Golden Lights incapable of assaulting them.


    ¡°So many Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°Nearly four hundred, isn¡¯t that too many?¡± The hearts of the Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divine were thrown into a panic.


    Although they realized that not all these Semi-Divine could be at the Peak, even if they were only at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank, banded together, they would be a terrifying force.


    Not to mention, it was impossible for them all to be at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank.


    ¡°More than thirty at Semi-Divine Peak? Over two hundred Semi-Divine at Intermediate Rank,¡± Li Yuan also felt his heart sink.


    There were too many!


    Far beyond the limits of what the Seven Stars Civilization could withstand, even if there was an Origin Power Array, even if there were forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets¡ªit was hard to withstand such a formidable army of Semi-Divine.


    At this moment, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t see how to win this battle.


    Even if Liu Bing used those two ¡®Secret Treasures,¡¯ it would still be difficult to win¡­ The Demon Civilization could win by sheer numbers alone.


    ¡°Hahaha, reinforcements have arrived, Fang Hai, you are destined to lose! Once this Origin Power Array breaks down, let¡¯s see how you can continue to be arrogant!!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine was overwhelmed with excitement.


    But at that moment¡ª


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai, who had just been blasted into the air, suddenly made a move, a silver miniature sword materializing in the palm of his hand.


    Hum!


    The silvery glow of the miniature sword surged, countless tiny Secret Runes on its surface lighting up, unleashing a terrifying might that blossomed violently, no weaker than the might of the Black Crystal Stone Li Yuan had just used, perhaps even stronger.


    The oppressive force in the area surrounding Fang Hai became immensely terrifying.


    Whoosh!


    A tremendous sword Phantom seemed to be coalescing right in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Is that?¡±


    ¡°What is that?¡± The hearts of the Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divine filled with confusion, not understanding what the other was trying to do.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    A cold glint flashed in Fang Hai¡¯s eyes, and he ferociously swung the miniature sword in his palm. With a flash of the sword light, it shot directly towards Hemu Semi-Divine.


    This was his lifesaving trump card.


    He wouldn¡¯t want to use it unless absolutely necessary, but driven to this extremity, he had no choice.


    He had two options, one was to attack Hemu Semi-Divine, Ye An Semi-Divine.


    The second was to attack the hundreds of Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divine.


    Fang Hai¡¯s choice, like Li Yuan¡¯s, was to first eliminate the top combatants.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine was startled; the sword light cut across the heaven and earth, moving so swiftly he hardly had time to dodge and could only try to swing his Divine Staff in an attempt to block the strike.


    ¡°Converge!¡±


    Ye An Semi-Divine, despite his weakened state, exerted himself to reactivate his Domain, creating large amounts of black mist, trying to assist Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    As the sword light passed over, the vast black mist was cleaved in two, the staff carrying boundless might was violently knocked away, and Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s body was directly torn apart by the sword light.


    The aftermath of the sword light completely shredded the two halves of his body, turning them into a sky of blood mist.


    Hemu Semi-Divine, this newly risen Semi-Divine Limit Expert of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Was dead! S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Receiving one Law Treasure from the Eastern Demon Deity was already a rare boon, almost impossible to be granted a second one.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The residual might of the sword light, roaring, continued to slash towards Ye An Semi-Divine not far away.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s face changed, ¡°Hemu perished in an instant, and now they want to kill me too?¡±


    Swoosh!


    Instantly, Ye An Semi-Divine transformed into a black streak of light, darting backward in an attempted escape from the dreadful sword.


    However, as fast as he was, the sword light was faster.


    But.


    Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s goal was not to dodge, but rather¡ªto buy time, to find a scapegoat.


    ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!¡±


    As Fang Hai released the Secret Treasure, the vast army of Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divine also took action.


    But they were all far away, so they could only manipulate Origin Power to execute long-range attacks.

 Chapter 719 - 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_4

    Chapter 719: Chapter 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_4


    Semi-Divine beings, if they go all out, are able to project their Origin Power to strike over a hundred kilometers away.


    Of course, the further the distance, the more difficult it is to control the Origin Power, and the weaker its might becomes.


    Boom!


    One after another, streams of Origin Power light streaked across the Vast Sky, bombarding the fearsome sword light, only to be directly cleaved apart. However, the power contained within the sword light was also being continuously consumed.


    In an instant.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The greatly weakened sword light finally descended upon the Ye An Semi Divine leader.


    ...


    ¡°Kill!¡± The Ye An Semi Divine also swung his Divine Artifact, desperately resisting, only to be sent flying backward, his arms unable to withstand the terrifying impact of might, bursting apart on the spot.


    The Divine Artifact was also thrown flying away.


    With one strike, even protected by a Divine Artifact, Ye An Semi Divine had already suffered heavy injuries, unable to recover in a short time.


    And the remaining might of that strand of sword light was also exhausted.


    ¡°I¡¯m not dead.¡±


    ¡°I survived.¡± Excitement flickered in Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s heart. What of serious injuries?


    As long as one lives, there is hope.


    ¡°I am seriously injured, my Origin Pills will not be able to recover shortly, and most of my Origin Power has been spent. My strength is now only equivalent to a Semi-Divine Peak.¡± Many thoughts flashed through Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s mind: ¡°I have performed enough¡­ Time to retreat and meditate.¡±


    Swoosh! He fled towards the Myriad Demons Civilization army like lightning.


    As long as he entered the Star Realm Passage, it would be impossible for anyone to catch up to him.


    ¡­


    One Secret Treasure had killed Hemu Semi-Divine, and severely injured Ye An Semi Divine, this was enough to astonish everyone.


    At least, for the short term, the Myriad Demons Civilization had lost two Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    Fang Hai had no time to chase after Ye An Semi Divine, because hundreds of Semi-Divine beings from the Myriad Demons, under the command of three divine beings, surged forward like a tide to attack from behind!


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Occupy Feixing, exterminate the Seven Star Civilization! Kill!¡±


    ¡°The divine beings have said, such a terrifying Secret Treasure, the Seven Star Civilization won¡¯t have many; they have already used two¡­¡± The Semi-Divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization, communicating with each other, rushed into battle.


    The Vanguard Army had already forced out the trump card tactics of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Two Semi-Divine Limit Experts paid with their lives, enticing out the trump card Secret Treasure of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Now, what did the Seven Star Civilization have left to defend with?


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Fang Hai¡¯s eyes gleamed with madness as he swung his Combat Saber, attacking the Myriad Demons Civilization army.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Brilliant saber light tore through the Vast Sky.


    ¡°Stop him.¡±


    ¡°Quick! Together!¡±


    ¡°This is the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s strongest, don¡¯t take him on alone.¡± Over ten Semi-Divine Peak Experts, thirty Semi-Divine Intermediate Rank Experts, united in a mighty charge, attacking from close and afar, using pure strength to block Fang Hai¡¯s assault with their overwhelming attacks.


    One by one, break them apart?


    The Semi-Divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization were also aware of this; they stayed close to one another, moving as large groups of Semi-Divine beings each time.


    While Fang Hai¡¯s attacks were strong, his Law Comprehension was not high enough, and his movement techniques and escaping skills were quite ordinary.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan and Liu Bing, too, were attacking desperately, attempting to kill more Myriad Demons Semi-Divines.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! A total of nine Myriad Demons Semi-Divine Peak Experts directly joined forces to attack, and although their individual strength was not equal to Li Yuan¡¯s, their combined attack¡­ had already reached the Semi-Divine Limit level, easily suppressing Li Yuan.


    Liu Bing? Her advantage was her speed, but in a direct confrontation, she was only equivalent to a Semi-Divine Peak.


    As for the other Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divines, they were even weaker.


    Thankfully!


    With the suppression of the Origin Power Array, and forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets fearlessly resisting¡­ it allowed the Seven Stars Civilization army to avoid immediate collapse under the Myriad Demons Civilization army¡¯s assault.


    But without a doubt.


    Both Fang Hai and Li Yuan knew in their hearts¡­ when the Myriad Demons Civilization decided to fight to the last without any reservation, the outcome of this battle was almost predestined.


    The number of Semi-Divines on both sides was not on the same level.


    For a short while, relying on a large number of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, they could hold off the enemy, but the energy reserve of the Semi-Divine Puppets had a limit¡­ once it was depleted, precious Divine Crystals would have to be used.


    How many Divine Crystals could the entire Seven Star Civilization have?


    Moreover.


    Even if the Semi-Divine Puppets could hold on, currently, the Seven Star Civilization was at an absolute disadvantage¡­ as time passed, they would be killed off one by one.


    Even the Semi-Divine Puppets could potentially be suppressed one by one.


    ¡°Are we really going to lose?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brimmed with madness, filled with unwillingness.


    ¡­


    Deep within Feixing, about a thousand kilometers from the Origin Power Array.


    A figure in Golden Garment stood silently waiting within a sealed Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Old Yun, should I take action?¡± the Golden Garment figure asked somberly.


    ¡°No!¡±


    A white-robed Phantom within the chamber spoke softly, ¡°We haven¡¯t reached the true point of no return. Our master¡¯s objectives¡­ are not for you and me to surmise. Wait for orders.¡±

    ¡°Sometimes, when it¡¯s time to let go, we must!¡± the white-robed Phantom whispered.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Origin Power Array.


    Under the relentless assault of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army, even as the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side fought with all its might, the defensive line was on the brink of collapse within a very short time.


    Casualties were finally occurring.


    ¡°Puchi!¡±


    A hammer blow sent a Combat Saber flying, followed by a lightning-quick spear thrust into the chest of a Flame City Semi-Divine, inflicting severe wounds.


    ¡°Ahh!¡± The Flame City Semi-Divine roared, his body ablaze with flames as he pushed his combat power to its Peak.


    But he was still completely overwhelmed by a group of surrounding Semi-Divines.


    This powerful Semi-Divine, infused with a portion of the True Phoenix Bloodline, rapidly approached life¡¯s end.


    ¡°Flame City!¡± Lant Semi-Divine, who was in charge of the array, sighed inwardly.


    These fallen Semi-Divines were all his juniors.


    ¡°Flame City Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Flame City.¡± Other Semi-Divines were equally anxious.


    ¡°Strength!¡±


    ¡°My strength is still far from sufficient. If I were to break through to Semi-Divine, maybe I could turn the tide of battle,¡± Li Yuan also felt a sense of powerlessness.

 Chapter 720 - 386: The Invincible Fang Hai (Extra Update)

    Chapter 720: Chapter 386: The Invincible Fang Hai (Extra Update)


    ¡°Ah, ah, ah! Everyone, go die!!!¡± Fang Hai¡¯s heart was howling, filled with endless madness at this moment.


    That was his mentor.


    And the person for whom he was willing to lay down his life!!


    At this moment, Fang Hai¡¯s murderous intent reached its pinnacle.


    Kill! Kill! Kill!


    Even in the many years he had roamed the Nine Leaves World and fought against numerous experts, he had never been so crazed.


    ...


    In Fang Hai¡¯s mind, there was only one thought left: kill his way to the front and save San Ye!


    ¡°Saber! Slash!¡± Fang Hai erupted with a roar, a roar that originated from his spirit.


    And from the depths of his soul.


    Boom!


    Amidst an unprecedented fervor and madness in his spirit, countless thoughts suddenly flashed through Fang Hai¡¯s mind, breaking through the bottlenecks of secret techniques he could never penetrate before¡ªat this moment, he finally made a breakthrough.


    Countless insights flooded his mind, propelling Fang Hai into a new realm.


    ¡°Seventh Stage High Rank! Semi-Divine Limit Comprehension!.


    Normal semi-divines, to unleash the utmost semi-divine battle power, generally need to reach Seventh Stage High Rank in Law Comprehension, like Hemu Semi-Divine and Ye An Semi-Divine have done. Someone like Li Yuan, after combining several laws of the Great Dao and his Spear Technique¡¯s transformation, also belongs to this level¡­ If one¡¯s Law Comprehension were even higher, it would be Pseudo-God level comprehension.


    Fang Hai¡¯s talent is also quite high, but he has only been semi-divine for a few years¡­ If it weren¡¯t for today¡¯s desperate situation driving his heart into madness and understanding the final bottleneck, it would take him at least several more years to break through.


    Secondly, Fang Hai is not a normal semi-divine!


    Practicing the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, he can explode with far greater strength than most semi-divines, coupled with the boost from the Origin Power Array¡­ Even before the breakthrough, the combat power he could exert was enough to suppress Hemu Semi-Divine by a notch.


    The most critical factor is the weapon in his hands, which is one of the greatest gains he made in the Nine Leaves World.


    It was a gain that even Dongfang Ji did not have at the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°¡±Heavenly Sea Realm¡±¡±


    ¡°The third form¡ªSaber as Boundless as the Horizon!¡± Fang Hai roared in his heart, and naturally displayed the third form of this Heavenly Divine secret technique.


    Wielding the Combat Saber artifact, the intricacies of this third form were on par with many Pseudo-God Level moves, surpassing his previous capabilities by who knows how many times.


    Whoosh!


    With one slash, dazzling saber light bloomed forth, indeed like a tidal wave rushing forth, effortlessly cleaving through semi-divine peak experts, semi-divine artifacts deployed by semi-divines of the middle rank, and Origin Power attacks, scattering them all.


    Then, the saber light directly swept across the bodies of two leading semi-divine peak experts.


    ¡°Hiss~¡±


    ¡°Gurgle~¡± The eyes of these two semi-divine peak experts flashed with fear, and their bodies were completely scattered by this terrifying saber light¡­ and they fell.


    With one slash!


    Scores of semi-divines acting together were suppressed, and two semi-divine peak experts were directly slain!


    It goes to show the terrifying might of Fang Hai¡¯s slash, reaching a frightening level!


    ¡°This!!¡±


    ¡°How is that possible? How did Fang Hai¡¯s strength increase so much all of a sudden?¡±


    ¡°Directly annihilating semi-divine peaks?¡±


    ¡°Retreat!¡± The myriad semi-divines of the Wan Mo Civilization facing Fang Hai were all shocked, trembling with fear in their hearts.


    Even for Semi-Divine Limit Experts, it was impossible to directly kill a semi-divine peak expert with a single move.


    Such strength had already gone beyond their comprehension.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch, he.¡±


    ¡°Has he made a breakthrough?¡± Li Yuan, Lant Semi-Divine, and Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, who were already somewhat desperate, were all shaken at this moment. The terrifying war intent contained by Fang Hai, and the direction in which that saber¡¯s edge pointed, carried a resolution and madness that could shock one¡¯s soul.


    The saber! The courage among all arms!


    A mighty Sword Technique secret art, once unleashed, its unstoppable intent to kill and fight is something no other weapon can keep up with.


    ¡­ ¡°Pseudo-God Level Sword Technique? This technique already faintly carries the sense of the Great Dao¡¯s will.¡± Gu You¡¯s voice also had a hint of shock, transmitting to Li Yuan: ¡°Your Alliance Hierarch definitely has an extremely powerful Sword Technique secret art!!¡±


    ¡°Truly formidable!¡±


    ¡°The will condenses the saber intent, making the saber light not diminish in might even when it strikes out for hundreds of miles.¡± Qiu Bingzun was equally astonished: ¡°His Law Comprehension is probably not yet at the Pseudo-God Level, but he displayed such a level of Sword Technique, it must be due to the weapon, is it an ¡®Origin Divine Artifact¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Was it obtained from the Nine Leaves World?¡±


    Gu You and Qiu Bingzun had very high perspectives and each made some judgments.


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Demon Mountain Star.


    The three semi-divines of the Myriad Demons Civilization were constantly watching the great battle.


    They were particularly attentive to Fang Hai and Li Yuan, as these two were their most serious concerns.


    Seeing the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s forces shaking the defenses of the Seven Star Civilization to the brink of collapse, all three deities were quite excited.


    ¡°Ha ha, we¡¯re going to win.¡±


    ¡°We haven¡¯t even made a move yet, Dongfang Ji must have fallen by now.¡±


    ¡°We won! The treasures of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡± East Demon Deity, Qiong Jin Deity, they were all excited.


    But then.


    They saw Fang Hai¡¯s suddenly terrifyingly powerful slash, its Sword Technique so profound, they couldn¡¯t discern it through the screen they were watching.


    But from the outcome, they could judge¡ªthis slash¡¯s power had reached the threshold of the Pseudo-God.


    A semi-divine unleashing a threshold close to the Pseudo-God¡¯s power?


    ¡°Semi-Divine Invincible?¡± Bei Yue Deity was astounded.


    Semi-Divine Invincible generally signifies reaching the threshold of Pseudo-God¡­ otherwise, how could it be called unrivaled in the Semi-Divine Realm?


    Normally, a Level 47 semi-divine, deploying the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, can make the basic strength reach the Level 50 Pseudo-God Level¡­ paired with Pseudo-God Level comprehension, only then could such a frightful power be unleashed.


    Although Fang Hai was only Level 45, with the boost from the Origin Power Array, his strength also reached this level.


    ¡°Could it be, another repeat of the Battle of Feixing from over a hundred years ago?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s expression was extremely ugly.


    The events of more than a hundred years ago surfaced in his mind.


    In that battle, nearly a hundred of his semi-divines, against Dongfang Ji alone, were slaughtered nearly to extinction.


    Only, today¡¯s protagonist had changed to Fang Hai!


    ¡­


    Feixing, under the Origin Power Array, the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divines were all somewhat panicked in the face of Fang Hai¡¯s strong outbreak.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai may be strong, but he¡¯s still just one person.¡±


    ¡°Just because his attacks are strong doesn¡¯t mean his movement technique is, too.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s join forces.¡± These Myriad Demons Semi-Divines reacted extremely quickly, immediately reorganizing for a more formidable counterattack, with more Semi-Divines wielding their weapons, trying to jointly suppress Fang Hai.


    Boom!


    One could only see Fang Xiang¡¯s figure darting forward, transforming into a ghostly phantom, even revealing different avatars in different voids, easily evading many Semi-Divines¡¯ attacks. A streak of saber light blossomed, directly slaying a Semi-Divine Peak Expert coming to face him.


    ¡°Not good.¡± The alarmed and infuriated Semi-Divine Peak Expert swung his War Hammer and shield, attempting to defend.


    Whoosh!


    The saber light swept past, the War Hammer crushed down, an arm broke¡­ The terrifying impact, passing through the shield, directly shocked the Semi-Divine Peak Expert to death.


    Had he been a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, he could have taken a few hard blows from Fang Hai in direct confrontation. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But a Semi-Divine Peak? Even in direct confrontation, he would fall from power.


    The gap in strength was too great!


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s still dead?¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t a Secret Treasure; this is Fang Hai¡¯s true strength.¡± The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divines were truly panicked.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    A breakthrough in Law Comprehension brought an all-around increase in strength. Although Fang Hai¡¯s movement technique hadn¡¯t reached the Pseudo-God Level, relying on his formidable basic strength, he had already surpassed most Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    Such a terrifying movement technique.


    It made the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divines¡¯ encirclement look like a joke¡­ after all, like Li Yuan, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and dozens of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, also restrained a large amount of the enemy¡¯s strength.


    The real Semi-Divines who could take on Fang Hai were a little over a hundred, and none were Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    Super strong attacks, dreadful movement technique, Fang Hai completely controlled the battle rhythm.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Another streak of saber light flared up, once again slaying three Alien Race Semi-Divines, also rescuing the severely wounded and dying San Ye Semi Divine.


    ¡°San Ye, don¡¯t resist,¡± Fang Hai urgently transmitted his voice.


    San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s arm was broken, bloodied all over; she looked at nearly berserk Fang Hai, and her long-frozen heart felt a faint stir.


    Just now, she had thought she was surely dead.


    Unexpectedly, at the moment of life and death, Fang Hai was like entering a realm devoid of people, killing his way to her front.


    ¡°Okay,¡± San Ye Semi Divine transmitted back.


    With a wave of Fang Hai¡¯s hand, an invisible force swept past, directly taking San Ye Semi Divine into his Cave Heaven Treasure.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°All of you, must die.¡± Fang Hai¡¯s gaze was icy-cold, looking at those horrified Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divines.


    Boom!


    His entire being soared into the sky, the Combat Saber in his hand once again raised high, as if to split heaven and earth, heavily chopping down.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Streaks of saber light burst forth, each streak representing one or even more Semi-Divine falling.


    Whether they faced battle, or joined forces, or fled for their lives, upon encountering Fang Hai, there was only one outcome¡ªdeath!


    It was a one-sided slaughter.


    In an instant, over thirty Myriad Demons Semi-Divines fell to Fang Hai¡¯s Combat Saber.


    ¡°Escape!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat, this is too terrifying.¡±


    ¡°This kind of strength absolutely surpasses the Semi-Divine level, reaching the threshold of a Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°I hadn¡¯t expected that without Dongfang Ji, the Seven Star Civilization had birthed another invincible Semi-Divine, let¡¯s go!! If we don¡¯t leave now, we¡¯ll all die.¡± The entire Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army, although most Semi-Divines were still alive, now completely collapsed.


    How long could they last if Fang Hai continued his slaughter?


    ¡°Stop them.¡±


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t let these Alien Races escape.¡± The Seven Stars Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divines were extremely excited, desperately attacking, trying to block the enemy¡¯s retreat.


    Once they fled into the Star Realm Passage, into the Demon Mountain Star Realm¡­ without the boost of the Origin Power Array, killing the enemy would be much harder.


    ¡°Little Ice, try to hold them off, create conditions for the Alliance Hierarch.¡± Li Yuan was also rather excited.


    The principal had made a breakthrough and unleashed such formidable strength, it was hard to believe.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s opponents were also frantically fleeing, and Li Yuan did not pursue the Semi-Divine Peaks¡­ with his strength, killing a Semi-Divine Peak was still too difficult.


    Li Yuan mainly targeted the Semi-Divine outset, Semi-Divine Middle Rank for his chase.


    ¡°Tear!¡±


    The Long Spear, like a swimming dragon, whether sweeping, Straight Thrusting, or furiously chopping, wherever it passed, one after another Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divine fell! The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army had collapsed.


    Everyone was only thinking of escaping.


    And in terms of slaughter efficiency, even Blood Cloth Semi-Divine wasn¡¯t a third of Li Yuan¡¯s¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was too unpredictable, even the Semi-Divine Middle Rank couldn¡¯t hold on for too long.


    Of course.


    On the entire battlefield, the truly most dazzling, most terrifying figure was still the one in Black Armor.


    Where the saber light reached, it was unstoppable!


    ¡°Pfft¡ªBang!¡± A Semi-Divine burst into pieces, directly slain by the Combat Saber.


    After killing hundreds of Semi-Divines, the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army finally all rushed into the Star Realm Passage, beginning a frantic escape into the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Use your Domain, take your Spirit Beast and kill with me,¡± Fang Hai transmitted.


    Boom!


    Fang Hai transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the Star Realm Passage.

    Chapter 721: Chapter 387 Origin Divine Artifact


    ¡°Principal, be careful,¡± Li Yuan continuously transmitted his soul sound. Once they entered the Demon Mountain Star Realm without the support of the Origin Power Array, their own strength would sharply decrease.


    However, the Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization would no longer be suppressed by the Origin Power Array, and their overall strength would instead slightly increase.


    But Fang Hai had already disappeared into the Star Realm Passage emanating a hazy glow.


    ¡°Little Ice, hurry, go,¡± Li Yuan transmitted urgently through his soul.


    Swoosh!


    Liu Bing didn¡¯t say much, swishing her tail, her body over ten meters long in a flash, her wings emanating a cyan glow, as she let Li Yuan grab her shoulders.


    ...


    The speed of the two soared to the extreme, rapidly rushing into the Star Realm Passage. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In terms of flying speed, Fang Hai was only comparable to Liu Bing.


    ¡°Stop.¡±


    The Blood Cloth Semi-Divine directly ordered, ¡°Immediately clean up the battlefield, recover from injuries, restore Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The Fire Semi-Divine, the Snow Dragon Semi-Divine, and others were also aware of their own condition. If they entered the Star Realm, their strength would sharply decrease, only adding chaos to Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    One by one, they sat down cross-legged, began consuming various Exotic Treasures to recover from injuries as quickly as possible.


    The prolonged battle had greatly exhausted the Origin Power of these Demigods, many of whom were seriously injured.


    Though temporarily repelling the army of the Myriad Demons Civilization, whether they would attack again remained unknown. Naturally, they needed to first recover, keeping their combat strength at its peak.


    ¡°Huff!¡± ¡°Huff!¡±


    ¡°Huff!¡± Those dozens of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, nearly twenty of them severely damaged, needed a powerful Artifact Refiner to be re-crafted to recover their strength.


    The remaining twenty Semi-Divine Puppets, while not physically damaged, had also exhausted their internal energy source, using Divine Crystals in the final stages of battle. Divine Crystals were precious; now that the enemy had retreated, they naturally couldn¡¯t continue, and as the Semi-Divine Puppets were slow and not skilled in pursuit¡­thus, the many Semi-Divine Puppets surrounded the entrance of the Star Realm, recovering on the spot.


    Their absorption of the Heaven and Earth Origin Power was extremely slow; to fully replenish their energy source would take at least three months.


    But every bit extra they could gather was extremely beneficial.


    ¡­Inside the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the grand battle continued, almost three hundred Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization fleeing hastily into the Star Realm.


    Before they could even catch their breath,


    They saw that the figure, resembling a Demon God, also killing through the hazy Star Realm Passage, their hearts slightly panicking.


    They had no choice, Fang Hai¡¯s slaughter had been too brutal.


    Hundreds of fallen Demigods, about two-thirds, died at Fang Hai¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic!¡±


    ¡°Outside the range of the Origin Power Array, Fang Hai¡¯s strength is not as strong as you imagine; he is not truly an invincible Semi-Divine,¡± the cold voice of the Eastern Demon Deity resounded in the minds of all Myriad Demons Demigods.


    ¡°Surround him!¡±


    ¡°You hundreds of Demigods, if you join forces to surround him, there¡¯s a chance to kill him,¡± the command of the Bei Yue Deity was also issued.


    In fact, before the two Deities issued their commands, numerous Myriad Demons Demigods had already somewhat reacted¡­their panic just now was only because the situation changed too quickly, catching them off-guard.


    ¡°Surround him!¡±


    ¡°Destroy Fang Hai, take revenge!¡±


    ¡°If we continue to scatter and flee, we¡¯ll only be broken by him one by one, he must be stopped.¡±


    ¡°Form up!¡± Within just a second or two, hundreds of Demigods gathered, simultaneously condensing Origin Power light orbs in their palms, following which the light orbs transformed into a mighty stream of light soaring into the sky, aiming at the charging Li Yuan.


    Hundreds of Demigods, though mostly Semi-Divine Middle Rank and Semi-Divine Initial Rank, employing the simplest long-range attacks¡­but the quantity led to a qualitative change, the might of their combined attacks reaching a terrifying level.


    This scene also startled Li Yuan, who had just charged out of the Star Realm Passage from a great distance.


    Li Yuan asked himself, if he faced such a surround, a slight carelessness would lead to his fall.


    ¡°Horizons! Seas!¡±


    Fang Hai¡¯s movements ghostly to the extreme, several flickers dodging a large amount of Origin Power light, his long knife in action.


    The knife light broke the sky!


    In the heavens and earth, streams of water mysteriously appeared, wildly converging, ultimately gathering on the knife light, directly dispersing the streams of Origin Power light in front.


    Boom!


    Even without the boost from the Origin Power Array, the terrifying combined attack of hundreds of Demigods still couldn¡¯t stop Fang Hai.


    Although the strength Fang Hai displayed wasn¡¯t called ¡®invincible among Semi-Divines,¡¯ it was indeed completely above the Semi-Divine Limit.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Fang Hai pushed forward, attempting to close the distance to this group of Demigods.


    Once in close quarters, approaching these Myriad Demons Demigods, slaughtering them would be easier.


    Unfortunately!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Many more Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization stopped fleeing, turned around under the Deities¡¯ commands, and immediately employed long-range tactics.


    Streams of Origin Power light roared, engulfing Fang Hai in a massive attack, greatly hindering him.


    ¡°Spurt!¡±


    The knife light streaking across, tearing apart heaven and earth, several Demigods quickly torn apart by Fang Hai¡¯s close presence, directly falling.


    But at that moment.


    ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Over one hundred fifty Myriad Demons Demigods fighting while retreating, continuously using long-range combined attacks, finally limiting Fang Hai¡¯s prowess.


    Facing the Origin Power light streams of Semi-Divine Peak experts, Fang Hai couldn¡¯t simply ignore them, occasionally struck, his speed sharply reduced.


    And more Myriad Demons Demigods were rushing to attack.


    Swoosh! Cyan light streaked through heaven and earth.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Waves of earthy yellow light spread, Li Yuan had arrived, the Heaven and Earth River Domain enveloping a large area.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± Nine Yellow Dragons meandered within the Heaven and Earth River, striving to resist, weakening the incoming streams of Origin Power light.

 Chapter 722 - 387 Origin Divine Artifact_2

    Chapter 722: Chapter 387 Origin Divine Artifact_2


    But the nine Yellow Dragons only had the strength equivalent to the threshold of a Semi-Divine. Naturally, intercepting the attacks of hundreds of Semi-Divines was like pouring a cup of water on a cartload of firewood.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Domain could only weaken it slightly!


    If Li Yuan had broken through to become Semi-Divine and had cultivated ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± to the Fourth Rank Limit before deploying his Domain, the situation would naturally have been vastly different.


    ¡°Principal, let¡¯s retreat.¡±


    ¡°Your Origin Power has also been greatly depleted, and our strength is still not enough to launch a counterattack.¡± Li Yuan sent a telepathic message, ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization unleashes a few more Secret Treasures¡­ you might not be able to withstand it.¡±


    ¡°And besides, there are still so many Demigods in the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ...


    Fang Hai¡¯s eyes filled with reluctance.


    But his heart was very calm, knowing that what Li Yuan said was logical. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Compared to the Myriad Demons Civilization, their number of Semi-Divines was too few, and he was the only pillar.


    Only by breaking through could he push back the massive army of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divines, allowing the Seven Star Civilization to continue guarding the entrance of the Star Realm¡­ Continuing to pursue might allow them to kill a few more Myriad Demons Semi-Divines, but the danger to himself would also skyrocket.


    The closer they were to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s entrance to the Star Realm, the more dangerous it was.


    ¡°Fine! Let¡¯s head back.¡± Fang Hai said somberly.


    Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief; what he feared most was that Fang Hai, in a fit of rage, would continue the chase.


    That would be too dangerous.


    Now, Fang Hai could not afford to lose!


    Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Liu Bing immediately turned into several streaks of light flying backward.


    ¡°Attack.¡±


    ¡°Attack Li Yuan!¡± The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Demigods still attempted to attack Li Yuan¡­ but they dared not engage in close combat, the distance was too great, and their flying speed was far slower than Li Yuan and his group.


    Thus, after executing two rounds of long-range Origin Power attacks, these Myriad Demons Demigods could only watch helplessly as Li Yuan and Fang Hai dash through the Star Realm Passage and return to Feixing.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    ¡°The Divine has ordered, retreat to the Demon Mountain Star first.¡±


    ¡°Retreat!¡± The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s grand army retreated in a massive wave. To prevent any accidents, they split into several squads, spaced apart by more than ten miles.


    However, fortunately, no accidents occurred.


    ¡­


    On Feixing.


    Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Liu Bing flew out from the Star Realm Passage.


    ¡°We¡¯re back.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch is back.¡±


    ¡°Vice Alliance Leader Li is back too.¡± A wave of excited voices arose, and many Seven Stars Demigods gathered around, surrounding Fang Hai and Li Yuan in the center, all appearing extremely excited.


    Of course, the main focus was Fang Hai!


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, you¡¯re too strong!¡±


    ¡°An invincible Demigod! Another invincible Demigod!¡±


    All the Demigods knew that the battle today, which had reversed the situation and ultimately led to the slaughter of so many Myriad Demons Demigods, was 99% due to Fang Hai.


    Many had fiery gazes in their eyes.


    Too strong.


    Demigods like Snow Dragon Demigod and Blood Cloth Demigod, who were somewhat older, couldn¡¯t help but recall the scene from over a hundred years ago.


    Just like the Feixing battle back then, when survival hung by a thread, when the entire civilization faced extinction, Dongfang Ji had acted, defeated the Myriad Demons Civilization significantly, and established the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Now, the scenario was almost replaying.


    ¡°Gentlemen.¡± Fang Hai raised his hand, and the void immediately quieted down; all eyes turned to Fang Hai.


    In the past, many older Demigods had some doubts about Fang Hai, given that he was too young and had not been a Demigod for many years.


    And he had become the Vice Alliance Hierarch and Hierarch almost solely through Dongfang Ji¡¯s support.


    Many Demigods believed that after the death of Dongfang Alliance Leader, Lant Semi-Divine was more qualified to take over as the leader, even if ultimately handed over to Fang Hai, it should at least wait another ten or more years.


    But after today¡¯s battle, all the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization were completely convinced.


    Strength!


    It was always immense strength that inspired trust.


    ¡°Today¡¯s battle, we fought with all our strength to win, and as a result, three Demigods died,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly. ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s grand army has temporarily retreated¡­ but we cannot be complacent, we must continue to guard this place for a while.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s grand army still dares to counterattack?¡±


    ¡°With the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s strength, the Myriad Demons Civilization should give up on the invasion.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization has publicly revealed just one Semi-Divine Limit Expert, and this time they exposed that they had two, but one was killed, and the other is probably heavily injured.¡±


    ¡°Their Demigods who died in battle number over a hundred, nearly thirty of them were at the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°With such huge losses, does the Myriad Demons Civilization still dare to continue the battle?¡± Several Demigods spoke sequentially.


    In their view, given the strength shown by Fang Hai, it was enough to make the Myriad Demons Civilization retreat.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°In terms of real strength, I still fall short of my teacher back then,¡± Fang Hai solemnly stated. ¡°My teacher didn¡¯t have the Origin Power Array back then¡­ that was what truly scared the Myriad Demons Civilization and made them dare not continue to fight.¡±


    ¡°If the Origin Power Array is breached.¡±


    ¡°Collaborating with hundreds of Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Demigods, with my real strength, it would be hard to win.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, having a clear understanding of his own capabilities.


    Many Seven Stars Demigods began to ponder.


    ¡°Do we have to keep guarding like this? Until when?¡± The Fire Demigod couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Fang Hai replied. ¡°In two to three years at the shortest, and up to about ten years at the longest, it should be about right.¡±


    In Fang Hai¡¯s estimation, within another two to three years, his Source Power would cultivate to level 47, and by then his strength would truly be considered as ¡®invincible among Demigods¡¯.


    The so-called ten years.


    That was Fang Hai¡¯s envisioning that by then, Li Yuan should have broken through to become a Demigod¡­ given Li Yuan¡¯s displayed rate of progress, even if his Law Comprehension did not advance further, his strength was estimated to be close to invincible among Demigods.


    By then, the Seven Star Civilization could truly consider itself stable.


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization has only so many Demigods, if they keep gathering a large number of Demigods preparing to attack¡­ it won¡¯t be airtight.¡± Fang Hai stated. ¡°Once their grand army of Demigods disperses, we won¡¯t have to be so tense anymore.¡±

 Chapter 723 - 723 387 Origin Divine Artifact_3

    ?Chapter 723: Chapter 387 Origin Divine Artifact_3 Chapter 723: Chapter 387 Origin Divine Artifact_3 Many demigods suddenly realized.


    Suddenly,


    Whoosh!


    A figure with golden hair flashed by, it was Lant Semi-Divine: ¡°Everyone, for the safety of our entire civilization, let¡¯s not talk about two or three years, even if it takes ten or twenty years, we must stay here.¡±


    ¡°Everyone should rest for now.¡±


    ¡°In a few days, once everyone has recovered from their injuries, we will hold a celebration banquet here,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Many demigods nodded and then dispersed, not going far.


    Each found an area and began to meditate quietly.


    Only Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Lant Semi-Divine remained.


    ¡°Principal, congratulations,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ...


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, your mastery of the sword technique has reached the Pseudo-God level.¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God level?¡± Lant Semi-Divine was slightly surprised.


    ¡°I knew I couldn¡¯t hide it from you,¡± Fang Hai shook his head.


    ¡°My comprehension of the law had just reached the Seventh Stage High Rank level.


    In terms of the true realm of law, you should be the highest within our civilization¡­


    I won¡¯t hide it from you, the reason I can unleash such powerful strength is because of this weapon in my hand.¡±


    ¡°Weapon?¡± Li Yuan curiously stared at the combat saber in Fang Hai¡¯s hand.


    During the recent fight, this combat saber had revealed terrifying might, but now it seemed very restrained.


    ¡°It is an Origin Divine Artifact,¡± Fang Hai stated directly.


    ¡°It¡¯s something I brought from the Nine Leaves World, the specific effects¡­


    you will understand once you venture into the Nine Leaves World yourself.¡± sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded, memorizing the words ¡°Origin Divine Artifact.¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine stood by, looking confused.


    He had never ventured into the Nine Leaves World, but he had explored the Nine Mountains World.


    Origin Divine Artifact?


    What is that?


    He had never heard of it.


    But for Lant Semi-Divine, whether it was Fang Hai or Li Yuan, the stronger they were, the better.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lant Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°For a short time, the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s forces likely won¡¯t invade¡­


    You can¡¯t rest now, we need you to take action.¡±


    ¡°To rescue other planets?¡± A cold light flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Lant Semi-Divine nodded.


    ¡°We¡¯ve received distress signals from many planets, even from Feixing.


    Your three thousand Flying Heaven Puppets have been extremely effective.¡±


    ¡°But this invasion by the Myriad Demons Civilization prepared a vast force, with tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Realm fighters, utterly reckless,¡± Lant Semi-Divine shook his head.


    ¡°Even if the demigods of various planets desperately slaughter, with so many Flying Heaven Realm invaders at once, it¡¯s impossible to stop them all.¡±


    ¡°Up to now,¡±


    ¡°Our Seven Star Civilization has killed over ten thousand Flying Heaven Alien Race members,¡± Lant Semi-Divine solemnly said.


    ¡°But still, thousands of Flying Heaven Alien Race have invaded¡­


    and foreseeably, even more will come.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Any Third Level Star Realm would dispatch a demigod to guard¡­


    but many realm entrances are vast, stretching hundreds of kilometers.


    Normally, many Flying Heaven Warriors patrol, on the alert with Origin Power Arrays.


    Thus, once a Flying Heaven invasion occurs, the guarding demigod can arrive within half a minute, enough to kill the invaders.


    But now!


    A Star Realm Passage, with hundreds to thousands of Flying Heaven Realm beings charging out¡­


    Even if a demigod could kill dozens to hundreds per strike, as long as one-tenth of the Flying Heaven Realm gets through the defense line, the total number is quite astonishing.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll head back to Blue Star first, then enter the Wanhan Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Little Ice will go to Heavenly Sea Star, then we will proceed with a large-scale sweep.¡±


    The other demigods could only guard the entrances of the Third Level Star Realm.


    But Li Yuan and Liu Bing could directly invade the Third Level Star Realm¡­


    They could truly massacre large numbers of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    Absolutely invincible!


    There are very few demigods in the Third Level Star Realm, and even if they encounter a Semi-Divine Peak expert, Li Yuan and Liu Bing, with their strength, could fight alone.


    Semi-Divine Limit?


    How many Semi-Divine Limit Experts does the entire Myriad Demons Civilization have?


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t believe that such super powerful beings could emerge in the Third Level Star Realm.


    ¡°Divine Liu Bing, I¡¯m sorry to trouble you,¡± Lant Semi-Divine also bowed to Liu Bing.


    He was well aware that Liu Bing was the Heaven Snake, destined to become Divine¡­


    Even as Li Yuan¡¯s spirit beast, he deserved respect.


    Liu Bing nodded slightly, clearly enjoying the sensation.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    After Li Yuan communicated with Liu Bing, the man and beast quickly departed.

    In another Cave Heaven Treasure.


    This Cave Heaven Treasure, although not as good as Li Yuan¡¯s Ancient Divine Palace, was still a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact, obtained by Fang Hai in the Nine Leaves World.


    San Ye Semi-Divine sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, meditating and healing.


    Her previously broken arm had now fully recovered.


    Whoosh!


    A figure in black armor suddenly appeared.


    ¡°San Ye, teacher,¡± Fang Hai looked at San Ye Semi-Divine, feeling somewhat bewildered.


    ¡°Fang Hai, thank you,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine opened her eyes, ¡°but back then, I was only following the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s orders to teach you for a while.


    You really don¡¯t have to keep calling me ¡®teacher.''¡±


    San Ye Semi-Divine¡¯s voice was very gentle.


    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll just call you San Ye,¡± Fang Hai flashed a slight smile, ¡°Back then, when I encountered the assassination by the Alien Race, it was you who saved me.¡±


    San Ye Semi-Divine paused.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°San Ye, you continue to heal.


    I won¡¯t disturb you any longer.


    If you want to leave the Cave Heaven Treasure, just send me a message,¡± Fang Hai said, then disappeared within the Cave Heaven.

    ¡°We lost.¡± Qiong Jin Deity shook his head and sighed, ¡°Back then it was Dongfang Ji, this time it was Fang Hai, with so many dead and injured again¡­


    How could the Seven Star Civilization, which only rose a few hundred years ago, produce so many monstrous beings?¡±


    Qiong Jin Deity felt somewhat helpless.


    He had lived for thousands of years, dominating the Mortal Domain and witnessing the rise and fall of countless civilizations.


    But Li Yuan and Liu Bing could directly invade the Third Level Star Realm¡­


    completely capable of massacring vast numbers of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    They were absolutely invincible!


    There were already few Semi-Divine beings in the Third Level Star Realm, and even if they encountered a Semi-Divine Peak Expert, with the strength of Li Yuan and Liu Bing alone, they could still fight.


    Semi-Divine Limit?


    How many Semi-Divine Limit Experts existed in the entire Myriad Demons Civilization?


    Li Yuan did not believe that such super experts could emerge in the Third Level Star Realm.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Liu Bing, I¡¯ve troubled you,¡± Lant Semi-Divine also saluted Liu Bing.


    He knew well that Liu Bing was a Heaven Snake, destined to become a deity¡­


    Even Li Yuan¡¯s spirit beast needed to be respected.


    Liu Bing nodded slightly, thoroughly enjoying the sensation.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    After sending a message to Liu Bing, Li Yuan and the beast quickly left.

    Inside another Cave Heaven Treasure.


    Although this Cave Heaven Treasure was not comparable to Li Yuan¡¯s Ancient Divine Palace, it was still a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact, acquired by Fang Hai in the Nine Leaves World.


    San Ye Semi-Divine was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, concentrating on healing.


    Her previously shattered arm had already been restored.


    Whoosh!


    A figure in black armor suddenly appeared.

 Chapter 724 - 724 388 Demands of the Immortal Ruins!

    ?Chapter 724: Chapter 388: Demands of the Immortal Ruins!


    Decisive Battle Chapter 724: Chapter 388: Demands of the Immortal Ruins!


    Decisive Battle ¡°I heard that the Void Qianyuan Formation is one of the battle formations painstakingly brought from the Divine Realm by the ancestors of the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± the Bei Yue Deity said softly.


    ¡°This formation is a ¡®mobile Origin Power Array,¡¯ allowing hundreds of Demigods to unite as one, achieving perfect synergy in their attacks¡­


    When hundreds of Demigods combine their attacks, if led by a powerful Demigod, it can completely unleash Pseudo-God level strength, making it invincible across the Fourth Level Star Realm,¡± the Bei Yue Deity said.


    ¡°Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization only deploys it at critical moments.¡±


    ¡°Such a formation, I have not heard of the Immortal Ruins Civilization lending it out,¡± the Bei Yue Deity said, puzzled.


    ¡°East Demon, how do you plan to borrow it?¡±


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization is immensely powerful, arguably the strongest force in the entire Mortal Domain¡­


    ...


    However, the Myriad Demons Civilization is not weak, either.


    They would not offend the other, but they also disdain submission.


    Moreover, over the long years, the two civilizations share a border in only one Third Level Star Realm.


    Thus, the two great civilizations have always maintained peace and a modest amount of trade.


    ¡°It¡¯s not us who want to borrow it.¡±


    ¡°Instead, it¡¯s the Immortal Ruins Civilization taking the initiative to give it to us,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, his eyes narrowing slightly.


    ¡°Taking the initiative to give it?¡± Both the Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity were astonished and thought the Eastern Demon Deity had gone mad.


    Such a treasured relic, although not very useful to an individual, is invaluable to a powerful civilization and cannot be compared to a Pseudo-God Artifact.


    Would the Immortal Ruins Civilization really take the initiative?


    ¡°I¡¯ll just point out two things,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said in a low voice.


    ¡°First, if I truly can borrow the Void Qianyuan Formation from the Immortal Ruins Civilization, Qiong Jin, can you persuade Sha Kun Semi-Divine to join the battle?¡±


    ¡°If you can really do it, and get Sha Kun to lead the Commander Array, Sha Kun will join the battle,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity.


    Only with Sha Kun Semi-Divine leading the Array can they take the initiative.


    ¡°Good,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity nodded.


    ¡°Second, I will need you to establish a Law oath with me to the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­


    only then can we gain the trust of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    Then, the Eastern Demon Deity roughly mentioned the contents of the Law oath. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After pondering, both the Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity felt that they could accept the oath¡¯s contents.


    ¡°I agree.¡±


    ¡°Agreed!¡± Both Deities consented to the Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s proposition.


    They understood that at this point in the battle, any talk of making peace with the Seven Star Civilization was like a fool¡¯s dream.


    The enmity between the two sides was too deep, almost irreconcilable.


    Their recent wish for a truce was just because they saw no hope and were unwilling to pay a heavier price in casualties¡­


    but if the Eastern Demon Deity could produce the Void Qianyuan Formation, they would not mind continuing the fight.


    After all, only Demigods would die!


    ¡°East Demon, what do you plan to do?¡± Qiong Jin Deity said in a low voice.


    ¡°How will you make the Immortal Ruins Civilization agree?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m about eighty percent sure,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said frankly.


    ¡°You gather more Demigods first, then wait for my news.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The Eastern Demon Deity turned into a streak of light, rapidly disappearing at the edge of the sky and earth.


    ¡­


    Barely half a day later.


    Within the vast planet that houses the Nine Clouds Sect of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the heavens and earth thundered.


    Inside a majestic hall in the Nine Clouds Realm.


    ¡°East Demon, why have you left the Myriad Demons Civilization to come to me?


    What is it for?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God in a black robe said with a smile.


    ¡°Has the war of invasion against the Seven Star Civilization ended?¡±


    Standing not far in front of him was a black-robed Phantom, exuding a destructive aura.


    It was an incarnation of the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°Yan Lin, don¡¯t make fun of me,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head.


    ¡°You must have known the outcome of the battle¡­


    the Demigods under my command have suffered a huge loss, with heavy casualties.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God smiled without a word.


    With the True Gods unseen, he was one of the highest echelons of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, controlling a vast intelligence network.


    He also had orders to pay close attention to this war early on¡­


    therefore, he learned of the defeat of the Myriad Demons Civilization shortly after the battle began.


    ¡°I only know you lost,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said curiously.


    ¡°But I¡¯m not very clear on the specifics of the battle.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no harm in telling you,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    ¡°During the battle, Fang Hai¡¯s strength broke through, already possessing nearly Pseudo-God level combat power!¡±


    ¡°Invincible Demigod?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God was taken aback.


    ¡°It hasn¡¯t been long since Fang Hai became a Demigod, has it?¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was indeed surprised; the speed of Fang Hai¡¯s progress was a bit too astonishing.


    It was even more fearsome than those True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization in their youth.


    ¡°My strength is still some distance from being invincible among Demigods,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    ¡°But Dongfang Ji, just before his death, left behind many trump cards, especially an Origin Power Array¡­


    Within its range, Fang Hai¡¯s strength genuinely reached the Pseudo-God threshold.¡±


    The Eastern Demon Deity did not conceal the facts.


    There was no need to keep hiding something the Seven Star Civilization was already aware of, especially since he was here to ask for something.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is really dead?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God showed a hint of surprise.


    He had previously guessed that Dongfang Ji might be dead, but it was difficult to confirm due to the distance.


    ¡°If he wasn¡¯t dead, how would I dare to send my troops to invade the Seven Star Civilization?¡± The Eastern Demon Deity shook his head.


    ¡°If it was his strategy, he would need a target¡­


    Are my hundreds of Demigods invading not worth his intervention?¡±


    ¡°So, I¡¯m certain that Dongfang Ji has perished.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but nod, feeling that the other party made sense.


    ¡°Even though Dongfang Ji is dead, with the trump cards he left behind combined with Fang Hai¡¯s strength, you cannot win,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said with a smile.


    ¡°You came to seek me out, you¡¯re not asking my Immortal Ruins Civilization for help, are you?¡±


    ¡°Exactly,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity replied.


    ¡°Can¡¯t help you,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s with you or the Seven Star Civilization, neither have a Fourth Level Star Realm bordering us¡­


    Although the Immortal Ruins Civilization has many Demigods, they can¡¯t get through, even if they wanted to help, they can¡¯t.¡±

    ?Chapter 725: Chapter 388: Demands of the Immortal Ruins!


    Decisive Battle_2 Chapter 725: Chapter 388: Demands of the Immortal Ruins!


    Decisive Battle_2 ¡°Besides, we have no intention of meddling in the war between your two civilizations.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God did not want to get involved in the mess.


    Although the Immortal Ruins Civilization had quite a few Semi-Divine Limit Experts, at least for now, none could match Fang Hai.


    ¡°Yan Lin, you are mistaken,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head and said, ¡°I invited you to join the war not because I want your help, but because I am helping you.¡±


    ¡°Oh?


    How so?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God asked calmly.


    He had seen too many of these types of persuasive tactics.


    ...


    ¡°Back then, the Immortal Ruins organized over a hundred Demigods in an attempt to break into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, and in the end, they all perished,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said directly.


    (Chapter 333)


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God nodded his head; this was no secret.


    ¡°Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, both contain treasures, it is common knowledge throughout the Mortal Domain,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°Yan Lin, do you know why I have always insisted on invading the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because Dongfang Ji got treasures from the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God frowned.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the passageways!¡± the Eastern Demon Deity declared emphatically, ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has two special passageways that allow those in the Flying Heaven Realm, Demigods, to enter the Nine Leaves World and the Nine Mountains World almost safely and unharmed¡­


    This is also why the Seven Star Civilization rose rapidly.¡±


    ¡°What?


    Safe and unharmed?


    Passageways?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God was indeed shocked, ¡°How is that possible!


    How do you know this?¡±


    He truly did not know this before.


    ¡°That is a secret.¡±


    ¡°Even within the Seven Star Civilization, very few know of this matter, only the most trusted,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity explained, ¡°Your Immortal Ruins Civilization is strong, but when it comes to penetrating the Seven Star Civilization¡­


    you are still not as good as my Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    To infiltrate, one must first make contact¡­


    How can the Immortal Ruins Civilization infiltrate when they have virtually no contact with the Seven Star Civilization?


    ¡°Are you really that desperate?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God looked at his counterpart.


    ¡°Now, with Dongfang Ji¡¯s death, this is our best opportunity to conquer Feixing,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity, ¡°Although Fang Hai is strong, and Li Yuan is a monster, their power still doesn¡¯t match that of Dongfang Ji in the past¡­


    If we delay another five or ten years, all hope will be completely lost.¡±


    ¡°Yan Lin.¡±


    ¡°This time, it¡¯s not only the last opportunity for my Myriad Demons Civilization but also for your Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°If you lend me the Void Qianyuan Formation, I can definitely break the defenses of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Feixing¡­


    Then, we can quickly dispatch a large number of disciples, etner the Nine Leaves World, the Nine Mountains World, and plunder the treasures.¡±


    ¡°In the future, even if Feixing changes hands again, the ventures of the many Flying Heaven and Demigods might yield treasures that will make us both envious,¡± explained the Eastern Demon Deity.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God remained silent.


    He was tempted.


    Previously he had only thought Dongfang Ji had acquired a single treasure; he hadn¡¯t realized that the Seven Star Civilization possessed such a big secret.


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization had a profound foundation, and many treasures.


    But who wouldn¡¯t want their civilization to have an even deeper foundation?


    ¡°To break the formation of the Seven Star Civilization with the Void Qianyuan Formation?


    You do have a good idea,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head and said, ¡°But how can you ensure that you will keep your promise?¡±


    No matter how large the pie, you still have to be able to eat it.


    ¡°I am willing to swear an oath by the Law,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°Not enough!¡±


    ¡°The other two Demigods of my Myriad Demons Civilization are also willing to swear oaths by the Law,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity continued.


    ¡°Eastern Demon, what do I need your Law oaths for?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head and said, ¡°Helping you means going to war with the Seven Star Civilization¡­


    The risk is too great.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Then you tell me,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°First of all, the Void Qianyuan Formation, with only three sets in the entirety of my Immortal Ruins Civilization, each set is of infinite value, if I lend it to you, you must exchange it for something of equivalent value,¡± said Yan Lin Pseudo-God, ¡°For example, your Myriad Demons Hall.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Hall is absolutely out of the question,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity shaking his head.


    The Myriad Demons Hall, being a True God Instrument, was the very foundation of the entire Myriad Demons Civilization; it could not be traded.


    ¡°Then provide other Pseudo-God Artifacts, regardless, it must be equivalent!¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said with a smile, ¡°Eastern Demon, didn¡¯t you just say that this is the last opportunity¡­


    Aren¡¯t you willing to gamble for this rare chance?¡±


    The face of the Eastern Demon Deity darkened slightly, having cornered himself.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, the Void Qianyuan Formation is a Supreme Treasure¡­


    I am willing to mortgage some treasures, if in the end the formation is lost or damaged, then there is no need to return these treasures,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    ¡°Good,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God nodded, ¡°Secondly, my Immortal Ruins Civilization requires half of your total gains in the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, and you three Divine beings must swear by the Law for this.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God stated his real demand.


    ¡°Half?


    That¡¯s too much,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, if the other Demigod does not deploy, and just contributes one formation for half the gains.


    Then what¡¯s the point of participating?


    ¡°Twenty percent,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity called out.


    ¡°Forty percent!¡± retorted Yan Lin Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Thirty percent,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity offered again, ¡°Yan Lin, thirty percent is quite a bit¡­


    you don¡¯t have to deploy a single soldier, just provide one formation.¡±


    ¡°Thirty-five percent,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said coldly, ¡°Eastern Demon, this is my bottom line.


    If you still want to make a deal¡­


    you can only agree, otherwise, I would not agree.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God had grasped the mindset of the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°Thirty-five percent?¡± The Eastern Demon Deity gritted his teeth, seemingly struggling intensely with the decision.


    After a long time!


    ¡°Alright, I agree,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity finally relented!


    Thirty-five percent?


    The share seemd notable.


    If not for the Void Qianyuan Formation, the Eastern Demon Deity could not think of how else to defeat Fang Hai.


    Soon after, the two sides finalized the detailed plan, and the avatar of the Eastern Demon Deity dissipated.


    ¡°Lend the formation?¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is dead,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God thought to himself, ¡°Such a big matter, it seems I must report it to the True God.¡±

    The Final Battle_3 ¡­


    Above the Nine Clouds Realm, the space was desolate, illuminated by a vast brightness.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God appeared out of nowhere in this space and respectfully bowed to the void, ¡°True God, I have an urgent matter to report.¡±


    A few seconds later.


    Whoosh~ Suddenly, amid the murky starry sky, nine enormous stars emerged from the void.


    Each star radiated dazzling light, converging at the center to form a phantom.


    ...


    This phantom was dressed in splendid clothes and emitted flames of light.


    Although it was a Pseudo-God, its aura was still far superior to that of Yan Lin Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Yan Lin, speak,¡± Chi Yan True God said slowly.


    Soon.


    Yan Lin Demigod reported everything the Eastern Demon Deity had said.


    ¡°While I have agreed, I still have some reservations and seek your guidance,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said.


    ¡°If you think I should not agree, then I will immediately refuse East Demon.¡±


    ¡°I just think this is an excellent opportunity,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said.


    ¡°Agreeing is not wrong,¡± Chi Yan True God spoke slowly, his voice deep and reverberating throughout the heavens and earth, ¡°but you have overlooked one thing.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was taken aback.


    ¡°Even if you lend out the Formation and win this battle, can you annihilate the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Chi Yan True God looked down upon Yan Lin Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Can you kill Fang Hai, Li Yuan?¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head.


    With the strength Fang Hai had shown, no one dared claim they could kill him unless a Divine intervened.


    ¡°If you are not confident in killing them, given these two individuals¡¯ talents, it is extremely likely they will become True Gods in the future,¡± Chi Yan True God said slowly.


    ¡°If that day comes, I fear they will despise the Immortal Ruins Civilization even more than the Myriad Demons Civilization, making them formidable enemies.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was secretly alarmed.


    From the words of the True God, there seemed to be some fear of Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    ¡°Thus, the Void Qianyuan Formation cannot be lent,¡± Chi Yan True God said.


    ¡°This Formation is known throughout the Mortal Domain; even slightly stronger civilizations would recognize it.¡±


    ¡°Then what?


    Do we give up?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°My true body will come as quickly as possible, to bestow upon you another Origin Power Battle Array that has never been exposed,¡± Chi Yan True God said.


    ¡°This Array¡¯s might is slightly weaker, but it should be sufficient just to pursue the Origin Power Array of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°The key is no one knows it comes from our Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­


    have East Demon and the others take a legal oath, so even if they recover the treasure in the future, they cannot reveal this matter.¡±


    ¡°True God is wise,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God agreed wholeheartedly.


    Chi Yan True God wanted to obtain the treasures of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains while not wishing for two unparalleled geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization to set their sights on him.


    ¡­


    On Blue Star, within the Wanhan Star Realm, it was as if the heavens were crumbling and the earth splitting, with countless Flying Heaven Realm martial artists fleeing.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°Hurry, it¡¯s Li Yuan from the Seven Star Civilization; it¡¯s said he already possesses Semi-Divine Peak strength.¡±


    ¡°How can he, a mere Flying Heaven, have cultivated so powerfully?¡± The Flying Heaven Realm warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization felt somewhat hopeless.


    They hadn¡¯t even had the chance to advance into Blue Star through the Star Realm. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had directly entered the Wanhan Star Realm, and under his Divine Sense inquiry, no one could hide.


    ¡°Flee for your lives!¡±


    ¡°Scatter and escape.¡± Although there were over a thousand Flying Heaven Realm warriors here, no one believed they could withstand a Semi-Divine Peak Expert.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan was incredibly fast, easily soaring to more than ten kilometers per second, which was several dozen times faster than these Flying Heaven warriors, rendering them unable to escape the pursuit.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡± With just a thought from Li Yuan, the vast Heaven and Earth River Domain surged in all directions.


    The Domain enveloped more than ten kilometers.


    Nine Yellow Dragons swam amidst them, madly tearing apart any Flying Heaven Alien Race they encountered.


    Their terrifying power could easily slaughter every single one of the aliens.


    Nine Yellow Dragons couldn¡¯t handle a large number of demigods, but if they were up against the weaker ones, their efficiency in slaughter was still quite astonishing.


    Scores of Flying Heaven Alien Race members fell.


    ¡°Once Blue Star is cleared, we will head towards Lantie Star,¡± Li Yuan mused in his heart.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel: [Spiritual Awakening Level: 79.8% (Current Limit 80%)]


    ¡°If the slaughter continues.¡±


    ¡°In a while, the Spiritual Awakening Level could reach the limit of 80%,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    If nothing went wrong, he would have another chance to receive an influx of Origin Power.


    However, Li Yuan was presently eager to strive for the Three Rank Nine Star Pulse¡­


    He wouldn¡¯t break through to a demigod in the short term.


    ¡°Demigod?¡±

    ¡°In the Divine Realm, being a demigod is the last stage before Ascend to God, and countless geniuses pursue a stronger Star Vein foundation, lingering in this realm for a very long time,¡± Li Yuan thought internally: ¡°Therefore, many demigods are terrifyingly strong, even capable of killing Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t surprised by this.


    Among Prime Warriors, it was extremely difficult to awaken Seven Star Veins¡­


    But in the demigod stage, awakening the Seven Star Veins became much more common, and some monstrous demigods could even awaken the Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°One step at a time.¡±


    ¡°My ambition is far higher than most of the geniuses in the Divine Realm,¡± Li Yuan still had considerable confidence.


    Even without awakening more Star Veins, having just the Eight Star Veins was dazzling enough.


    ¡­


    Time passed day by day.


    Large numbers of the Flying Heaven Realm invaders from the Myriad Demons Civilization were being slaughtered by Li Yuan and Liu Bing.


    The tide of the Flying Heaven Realm invasion into the many planets of the Seven Star Civilization quickly weakened¡­


    Even with Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s strength, as numerous as their Flying Heaven Realm forces were, they were not endless.


    How could they withstand the relentless massacre by Li Yuan and Liu Bing!


    Numerous demigods from the Seven Star Civilization constantly guarded the entries to the Star Realm, maintaining the Origin Power Array over the long term.


    But the demigod army of the Myriad Demons Civilization refrained from attacking again.


    ¡°According to the intelligence reports, the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army hasn¡¯t disbanded and seems to be summoning even more demigods.¡±


    ¡°It looks like they can¡¯t accept defeat and want to fight again.¡±


    ¡°Fight again?


    Do they think sending more demigods will lead them to victory?¡±


    ¡°Definitely something¡¯s amiss.¡± The upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization were discussing amongst each other, all extremely vigilant.


    ¡­


    In a dark corner of the void.


    Two figures stood in the void.


    ¡°East Demon, you¡¯ve agreed to all the conditions, and the three great deities of your Myriad Demons Civilization have all sworn oaths of the Law,¡± the man in the black robe said with a smile: ¡°From now on, I hope you abide by the terms of the agreement.¡±


    ¡°No problem,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity nodded.


    ¡°As per the treaty, this is the latest Origin Power Battle Array ¡®Eight Directions Fire Realm Array¡¯,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God flipped his hand, and a Storage Magical Treasure flew out of his palm, moving towards the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°This Formation, at the very least, requires sixty-four demigods to combine and deploy it, and the strongest form needs 512 demigods to combine,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said: ¡°Given your Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s strength, you can perfectly activate it¡­


    once activated, as long as led by a Semi-Divine Peak Expert, it can unleash the threshold strength of a Pseudo-God.¡±

 Chapter 727 - 727 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power

    ?Chapter 727: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power Chapter 727: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power ¡°Yes,¡± hundreds of demigods received permission and sat down cross-legged, one after the other, to begin the refinement of the fiery red scale armor before them.


    A mere touch of refinement revealed a portion of the method.


    ¡°The Eight Directions Fire Realm Array, First Layer?¡±


    ¡°What kind of formation is this?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, never heard of it, but just this First Layer is already profoundly mysterious.¡± The numerous demigods communicated amongst themselves, their hearts filled with amazement and admiration for the method¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Legend has it that within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there is a powerful formation, the ¡®Void Qianyuan Formation,¡¯ capable of uniting hundreds of demigods into a single entity.


    I never would have thought that our Myriad Demons Civilization also possesses such a treasure.¡±


    ¡°The foundation of our Myriad Demons Civilization is even deeper.¡±


    ¡°But, with such a powerful treasure at hand, why didn¡¯t the divine beings bring it out earlier?


    So many demigods died in vain.¡±


    ¡°Stop the discussion, be careful the divine beings might hear you.¡± The demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization gradually quieted down.


    Time passed.


    ...


    In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by¡­


    Though the Origin Power Array was mysterious, it was ultimately meant for the demigods to use, and only the First Layer at that, so naturally, the difficulty of comprehension wasn¡¯t too high.


    If it were about to contain the core of the formation, like the Second or Third Layer, it would be much more difficult, demanding much higher standards from the formation leader.


    Therefore, after all this time, the hundreds of demigods who were taught had all grasped the concept. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As understanding dawned upon them, it stimulated the fiery red scale armor that served as ¡®Formation Base,¡¯ causing each demigod¡¯s aura to become unique, as if they had transformed into blazing flames.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Everyone has comprehended it.¡± The Demon Deity of the Myriad Demons Civilization was quite satisfied and looked at the waiting Sha Kun Semi-Divine, ¡°Sha Kun, bother you to lead the Commander Array.¡±


    In dealing with other demigods, the presence of the Myriad Demons Deity was that of an absolute superior, looking down upon them.


    But towards Sha Kun, he was quite courteous, his attitude almost equal.


    Firstly, the upcoming battles would require the latter¡¯s involvement, and secondly, Sha Kun was destined to become Semi-Divine.


    ¡°The Deity is too kind.


    I will give my all,¡± nodded Sha Kun Semi-Divine, stepping forward.


    Instantly, the surface of his body revealed surging, endless flames, an aura of fire far surpassing other demigods who had refined the Formation Base.


    After flying into the center of the hundreds of demigods.


    ¡°Fellow demigods,¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine swept his gaze and said in a deep voice, ¡°As prescribed by the method, concentrate your spirits and initiate the Formation!


    Gather!¡±


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Groups of ¡®flames¡¯ burst forth with dazzling light, and the central Sha Kun Semi-Divine was like a vast vortex, crazily drawing in the many demigods who had activated the Formation Base.


    An enormous amount of flames began to converge, and layers of dazzling light appeared throughout heaven and earth, illuminating all.


    After several breaths,


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Heaven and earth changed color, a massive surge of Heaven and Earth Origin Power gathered at the center, and the groups of flames also gradually converged, ultimately appearing before the three great deities and the other demigods who hadn¡¯t formed the array.


    It was an incredibly vast and peculiar Exotic Beast.


    At first glance, it resembled a massive fireball, burning fiercely within, but actually, it had four slender arms, four strong hooves¡­


    and it lacked a head.


    ¡°The Eight Directions Fire Realm Array,¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes shone bright: ¡°Surrounded by eight directions, four arms master slaughter, wielding weapons to attack external foes¡­


    Four legs form the foundation, stabilizing itself.¡±


    ¡°Contained within is the Fire Realm, the demigods operate the Formation, madly absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth¡­


    maintaining the entire array¡¯s operation.¡±


    ¡°This is the Pseudo-God Level mobile Origin Power Battle Array,¡± declared the East Demon Deity solemnly.


    Both the Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity nodded, equally filled with astonishment.


    Origin Power Arrays, broadly speaking, are mainly divided into two types.


    One is the mobile array, capable of moving at will, convenient for its mobility, but its flaw is weaker defense and the ability to draw upon relatively less Heaven and Earth Origin Power.


    The other is permanent, often used by major forces to guard a location, potentially combined with various Divine Artifacts to achieve tremendous might, but mostly difficult to move.


    At least not quickly.


    If further detailed, Origin Power Arrays can be divided into many kinds, such as battle arrays, binding formations, illusionary formations, tranquil heart formations, and so on.


    ¡°The Origin Power Array that Dongfang Ji left to the Seven Star Civilization is probably of the same level, but it is a fixed formation,¡± said Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡°Its main purpose should be binding and defense, and boosting the battle power of demigods is probably secondary.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°We discovered this when our army invaded.¡± Bei Yue Deity also nodded: ¡°It¡¯s impossible to break through the core of the formation within three hundred kilometers, covered by an invisible force¡­


    even with hundreds of demigods attacking together, it¡¯s difficult to shake.¡±


    ¡°No need for demigods, such an Origin Power Array to unleash such might is truly inconceivable.¡± Bei Yue Deity lamented.


    Following the previous great battle, the three great deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization considered themselves to have sufficient understanding of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Origin Power Array.


    They also held Dongfang Ji in high regard.


    Like the current Eight Directions Fire Realm Array, it seemed mighty, but it hinged on the cooperation of hundreds of demigods.


    ¡°Our Eight Directions Fire Realm Array is a battle formation, primarily offensive,¡± said Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡°Hundreds of demigods working together to command Heaven and Earth Origin Power, the combined force within the battle array is terrifying¡­


    If it can be perfectly unleashed, even we might have to retreat.¡±


    How strong is the perception of deities?


    In their senses, the vast Exotic Beast that had formed before them radiated an aura even stronger than ordinary demigods.


    ¡°Sha Kun, how do you feel?¡± Qiong Jin Deity asked proactively, his voice resonant.


    ¡°Very good.¡±


    ¡°This battle array¡¯s might is boundless.


    My comprehension of the ¡®Eight Directions Fire Realm Array¡¯ has reached only the Third Layer, and I can only use part of this ¡®Mystical Fire Realm Beast¡¯s¡¯ power¡­


    but I am confident, many new Pseudo-Gods will not be a match for me,¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine declared confidently.


    ¡°That Fang Hai, I will definitely defeat him, and will not fail the heavy trust placed in me by the Three Deities to seize the treasure of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.¡±

 Chapter 728 - 728 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_2

    ?Chapter 728: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_2 Chapter 728: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_2 Before this, Sha Kun Semi-Divine had studied the ¡°Eight Directions Fire Realm Array¡± for some time.


    And he had also established the corresponding Law oath.


    ¡°Defeat a newly minted Initial Rank Pseudo-God?¡± All three Divine beings thought it was quite normal.


    In fact, in the Divine Realm, powerful battle formations like these were often led by Pseudo-Gods commanding a large number of demi-gods to confront other formidable Pseudo-Gods¡­


    It was only in the Mortal Domain that Divine beings couldn¡¯t enter Fourth Level Star Realms, so the command was given to demi-gods instead.


    A Semi-Divine Peak Expert, due to their relatively weaker strength, would exhibit very weak might when directing a large formation.


    But for Sha Kun Semi-Divine, his Law Realm was already that of an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, and taking command of the formation naturally made him much more formidable.


    ...


    ¡°The corresponding Battle Artifact has also been bestowed upon you, go forth and do it,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°Just remember, strive to annihilate Li Yuan and Fang Hai, if you cannot¡­


    then immediately lead the army to find the location of the Nine Mountains Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine respectfully said.


    From Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s perspective, he was not particularly interested in taking over Feixing, but the legendary ¡®Nine Mountains World¡¯ was far more enticing.


    ¡°Go,¡± commanded the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°Disciple, prioritize your safety, be careful in everything,¡± the voice of Qiong Jin Deity also resonated in Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s mind.


    Boom!


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine led a ¡®Mystical Fire Realm Beast¡¯ that was over one thousand kilometers in height and over three thousand li in length.


    The Mystical Fire Realm Beast turned into a terrifying torrent of flames, plunging directly into the Star Realm Passage and quickly disappearing from the senses of the three great Divinities.


    ¡°You demi-gods,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s gaze swept over Ye An Semi Divine and the other hundred-plus demi-gods.


    He did not let Ye An Semi Divine take command of the formation.


    ¡°Then it will be Ye An who commands.


    Follow the formation to Feixing, and after breaking the formation, search for the Nine Mountains Star Realm on Feixing,¡± instructed the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Ye An Semi Divine nodded repeatedly.


    Whoosh! Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Over a hundred demi-gods also transformed into streaks of light, rushing into the Star Realm Passage.


    ¡°This battle is truly an all-out effort,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said with emotion, ¡°Hopefully, everything goes smoothly.¡±


    ¡°There will be no problem,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said with a smile, ¡°If it were a Semi-Divine Limit commanding the formation, I wouldn¡¯t have absolute confidence¡­


    but with Sha Kun in command, rest assured.¡±


    All three great Deities quietly waited.


    With the flight speed of the Mystical Fire Realm Beast, it would take less than a minute to break into Feixing¡­


    In at most two minutes, the battle would be completely over.


    ¡­


    Feixing, within the area covered by the Origin Power Array, a hazy golden glow diffused across various regions.


    Utter silence.


    The aftermath of the battle from days before had dissipated, and the once-torn land had been restored, reverting to its barren state¡­


    Half-gods of the Seven Star Civilization were all quietly cultivating outside the Star Realm Passage.


    Atop a mountain peak.


    ¡°Big brother, has the Myriad Demons Civilization not given up yet?¡± Liu Bing¡¯s huge body coiled aside, her feathers covering her body, glittering with metallic luster.


    This was her wing-shaped Divine Artifact, which made her appear quite majestic and beautiful.


    ¡°Mhm.¡±


    ¡°But according to the information received, the Myriad Demons Civilization has gathered over five hundred demi-gods.


    If they truly intend to fight again, it will probably be soon,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    Several days ago.


    Flying Heaven Alien Races invading from various large planets had been mostly eradicated¡­


    Li Yuan and Liu Bing had returned to Feixing and continued to stand guard here.


    Although Fang Hai alone was equivalent to several hundred demi-gods,


    Concerning the survival of civilization, no one dared to be negligent; having even a bit more combat power was good.


    ¡°Continue to cultivate,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, lightly closing his eyes as his Mental Consciousness once again condensed inside the ¡®Life Starry Sky¡¯.


    Over these years, since achieving Eight Star Veins, Li Yuan had also been trying to continue awakening Life Stars.


    ¡°Stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm, awakening each Life Star requires more Soul Power.¡±


    ¡°But after my body became stronger, the Origin of my Life Stars surged, making them easier to sense, and with a powerful Soul¡­


    indeed, awakening has become easier,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The Eighth Star Vein has already been awakened to the ¡®Sixth Layers¡¯.¡±


    ¡°There are more unclaimed Life Stars as well.¡±


    ¡°However, to awaken the Ninth Star Pulse is indeed extremely difficult,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    A Second Rank Eight Star Veins in the Divine Realm belonged to the domain of legends.


    The difficulty of Third Rank Nine Star Pulse was even higher, given that becoming a ¡®Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡¯ was a prerequisite.


    ¡°To become Nine Star Pulse,¡±


    ¡°Firstly, one must strive to make their Soul stronger, seeking the fourth Spiritual Guidance,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Secondly, it depends on whether there are some Exotic Treasures within the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    According to information Li Yuan knew,


    In the Divine Realm, many exceptional geniuses who eventually awakened Eight Star Veins or even Nine Star Pulse, aside from their own talents, needed many external factors and chances to assist them.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°The army of the Myriad Demons Civilization, has arrived,¡± a deep voice suddenly resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s ears.


    And it resonated in Liu Bing¡¯s as well.


    At once, all the demi-gods opened their eyes, swiftly flying while also looking toward the nearby Star Realm Passage.


    Has it come?


    So suddenly?


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army?


    They know the principal¡¯s strength, so if they dare to come and fight again, they must have some confidence,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved, activating the might of the formations within heaven and earth.


    A wisp of golden light instantly diffused over his body, the power he controlled surged.


    With the formation¡¯s enhancement, Li Yuan was able to possess the strength to defeat a Semi-Divine Peak.


    Liu Bing and the other demi-gods did the same.


    Next to each demi-god appeared figures of Semi-Divine Puppets; these puppets had been absorbing Heaven and Earth Origin Power, storing energy.


    Yet, what truly dazzled was the figure in black armor that appeared in the void.


    It was Fang Hai.


    Just over ten seconds after all the Seven Stars demi-gods received the message.

 Chapter 729 - 729 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_3

    ?Chapter 729: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_3 Chapter 729: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_3 Boom!


    The golden orb that had previously converged in the Star Realm Passage suddenly exploded, followed immediately by a terrifying presence bursting forth, and a fearsome ¡®flame torrent¡¯ surged skyward.


    A mighty pressure enveloped heaven and earth.


    In that moment, everyone saw clearly that what emerged from the Star Realm Passage wasn¡¯t a flame torrent, but rather a huge and towering Flame Exotic Beast.


    Its enormous body, like flames, with four slender arms, each clutching a Divine Sword.


    Four huge hooves, stepping on the void, gave a sense of immovability.


    This Exotic Beast had no head!


    ...


    No eyes!


    Hearts trembled!


    ¡°What is this?¡± Blood Cloth Demigod, Snow Dragon Demigod, and other Demigod experts felt a shudder in their hearts, that terror to the extreme pressure made them unable to harbor even a sliver of resistance.


    Far too strong!


    The difference in strength between them was too great, a disparity at the level of the very essence of life.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart also trembled, even with his powerful Soul Will, he felt an unprecedented oppression.


    It was as if a common man, faced with a tiger up close, would involuntarily feel a suffocating sense.


    Li Yuan subconsciously initiated Divine Palace Exploration, and the feedback he received was [Target exceeds Inquiry Limits].


    Was this beyond Level 48.9?


    A Pseudo-God?


    But the opponent had burst out of the Fourth Level Star Realm Passage, by all logic it should not be a Pseudo-God.


    ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã0


    ¡°It¡¯s an Origin Power Battle Array, a battle array at the Pseudo-God level,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, somewhat urgent, ¡°Big brother, this should be the condensation of the Divine Beast ¡®Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.¡¯ The real Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, with a bloodline as strong as mine.¡±


    A Pseudo-God level Origin Power Battle Array?


    Heavenly Fire Realm Beast?


    Li Yuan was shocked.


    He did not dare hesitate.


    Li Yuan immediately passed the corresponding information to the other Demigods and Fang Hai.


    And in fact,


    The moment Fang Hai saw the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, he had already recognized it as an Origin Power Battle Array.


    He simply did not recognize the beast.


    ¡°Heavenly Fire Realm Beast?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s eyesight is indeed formidable,¡± Fang Hai, hovering in the void, also had an exceedingly grim expression, ¡°But across the entire Mortal Domain, legend has it that only the Immortal Ruins Civilization possesses such a level of battle array, and it¡¯s not of the Fire Attribute.


    Other civilizations, though they have Pseudo-God level formations, do not have Origin Power Battle Arrays!¡±


    Origin Power Battle Arrays could move, akin to actual cultivators¡­ S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    For a formation to achieve this was extremely difficult.


    Even for a True God Peak expert, the vast majority could not create an Origin Power Battle Array at the Pseudo-God level.


    Like the Void Qianyuan Formation of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, it was also passed down from the Divine Realm.


    ¡°Myriad Demons Civilization, where did they get it from?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t understand.


    He had roamed the Nine Leaves World, participated in national wars, and had seen similar Origin Power Battle Arrays.


    ¡°Back then, in the Nine Mountains World, my mentor could also choose a Fifth Rank Origin Power Battle Array, but my Seven Stars Civilization Demigods were too few to condense such a battle array¡­


    hence we chose the defensive formation,¡± Fang Hai gritted his teeth.


    Defensive formations, while slightly less valuable, had the advantage of requiring only one operator.


    Fang Hai would have never expected that the Myriad Demons Civilization could bring it out.


    Where did it come from?


    And if they had it, why hadn¡¯t they used it before?


    Why wait until now?


    Multiple thoughts flashed through Fang Hai¡¯s mind.


    But no matter what,


    Fang Hai understood in a flash, if the opponent had such a trump card, he would have to fight with all his might.


    ¡°Everyone listen to my command, retreat immediately, and do not engage in battle,¡± Fang Hai promptly ordered.


    For a confrontation of this level, even Semi-Divine Peak experts would be courting death by intervening.


    Simultaneously,


    ¡°Demigod Lant, please assist me,¡± Fang Hai transmitted his voice.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Lant Semi-Divine also responded immediately, his voice filled with solemnity, ¡°I will control the formation with all my might¡­


    but if it really can¡¯t be stopped, then immediately retreat.


    Even a Fifth Rank Origin Power Battle Array should take a while to break through the defensive array.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± said Fang Hai.


    The communication between Demigods was extremely fast, and while Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and the others had not yet had time to retreat,


    Boom!


    The ¡®Heavenly Fire Realm Beast,¡¯ emitting a terrifying aura, had already launched an attack.


    Despite being veiled in layer upon layer of golden light, its colossal body leaped forward, speeding over 50 kilometers per second.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Fang Hai was shrouded in endless golden light, his eyes filled with madness and murderous intent.


    He knew,


    This battle, he absolutely could not lose.


    ¡°Whish!¡± ¡°Whish!¡± ¡°Whish!¡± Countless golden lights wandering between heaven and earth also burst forth in an instant, converging to form huge golden chains.


    Hundreds of chains, like dragons, mighty and fearsome, whistled downwards, attempting to bind the arms and hooves of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    ¡°Child¡¯s play.¡± The eyes of ¡®Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯ within the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast were exceedingly cold.


    Below him were Demigods.


    Including himself, all 512 Demigods were unified into one with the Formation Base, the surface gleamed with a hazy light, while further out was the boundless Fire Origin Power.


    It ultimately formed a fiery sphere with a diameter of one kilometer, thus called the Fire Realm.


    The so-called arms and hooves were extensions formed from the Fire Origin Power.


    ¡°Whish!¡±


    ¡°Whish!¡± The Divine Swords on the four flame arms erupted, dazzling sword lights shot up into the sky, directly slicing the enormous golden chains in the air.


    ¡°Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!¡± A great number of golden chains had entwined around the four huge hooves.


    But the Might contained within the hooves burst forth, easily shattering the golden chains, unable to be stopped.


    In the void,


    Under the cover of endless golden light, the roughly ten-meter-tall Fang Hai, wielding a Combat Saber, approached like lightning, brandishing his weapon with determination.


    ¡°Whish!¡± A slash that seemed to split heaven and earth, filled with terrifying Might, was directly aimed at the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.

 Chapter 730 - 730 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_4

    ?Chapter 730: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_4 Chapter 730: Chapter 389 Pseudo-God Combat Power_4 ¡°`


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast¡¯s body emanated flames as one arm swung the Divine Sword, instantly unleashing a strand of fiery sword light to meet the incoming blade light.


    ¡°Boom~!¡±


    An incomparably terrifying clash!


    Fang Hai was sent flying backward by the immense sword light, the Golden Light shrouding his entire body dissipating greatly; fortunately, his Sword Technique was also extremely powerful, neutralizing much of the might and blocked by the Divine Artifact Battle Armor.


    ¡°This kind of swordsmanship.¡±


    ¡°Is it a Pseudo-God Mystery move?¡± Fang Hai was shocked, roaring in disbelief, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    The might of the Fifth Rank Origin Power Array was indeed extremely strong, but the reason Fang Hai still had confidence in holding it off was because he was certain that the Formation Leader was not high-level.


    Even if it was a Semi-Divine Limit leading the array, it would only reach the threshold of Pseudo-God level.


    But once the actual combat began,


    Fang Hai felt the mysteriousness of the opponent¡¯s sword light was not as strong in pure power as he had imagined.


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai, do you think your Sword Technique can reach the level of Pseudo-God?¡± A cold voice came from within the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, ¡°Remember, my name is Sha Kun.¡±


    ¡°Sha Kun Semi-Divine?


    ...


    Isn¡¯t that a Semi-Divine Peak Expert?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s heart grew even more alarmed.


    In the intelligence he had, Sha Kun Semi-Divine was just a Semi-Divine Peak Expert.


    How had the swordsmanship reached the Pseudo-God Level in the blink of an eye?


    And without any message getting through¡­


    What Fang Hai didn¡¯t know was that the Semi-Divines gathered by the Myriad Demons Civilization had always been under the watch of the three Divine Beings, and nobody dared to send messages.


    Unless it was something like Soul Transmission Sound.


    Otherwise, ordinary means of communication had to travel through space and could not escape the perception of the Divine Beings at close range.


    Therefore,


    Fang Hai was only aware that a large number of Semi-Divines had been gathered by the Demon Civilization, but what these Semi-Divines were doing?


    He truly had no clue.


    Not to mention, he had no knowledge of Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s breakthrough, which was a fact the three Divine Beings never made public.


    Even Ye An Semi-Divine, upon seeing Sha Kun Semi-Divine, only had suspicions.


    ¡°You know me?¡±


    ¡°Haha, then let me break this Origin Power Array first.¡± A rumbling sound emanated from within the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    Sound is transmitted through a medium.


    Transmitting voice through ¡®Semi-Divine Origin Power,¡¯ its speed far exceeds that of sound.


    Boom!


    The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast turned into a streak of light, charging into the void.


    ¡°Stay.¡± Fang Hai bellowed furiously.


    Almost simultaneously,


    Fang Hai¡¯s voice also rang in the minds of all his allies, ¡°Retreat!


    This Heavenly Fire Realm Beast now possesses Pseudo-God battle strength, I can only desperately hold it off, delay it for a while, implement the second plan immediately.¡±


    ¡°I repeat, implement the second plan immediately.¡±


    The second plan was a sign that Feixing¡¯s defense battle had failed, and a great migration was necessary.


    Boom!


    Fang Hai¡¯s speed also soared to a terrifying extent.


    The vast Golden Light was still condensing on his body.


    Blade light after blade light burst forth, slicing towards the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    ¡°Still not leaving?¡± The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast sneered coldly, its two arms swinging simultaneously, as two terrifying sword lights slashed across heaven and earth.


    ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡±


    The sword light and blade light collided, trying to once again send Fang Hai flying, but Fang Yuan¡¯s Sword Technique had changed and become incredibly gentle, completely sticking to each and every sword light.


    ¡°You think like this, you can block me? S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 731 - 390: Dongfang Jis Strength (Additional Update)

    Chapter 731: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)


    ¡°Teacher? How are you?¡± Fang Hai felt a mixture of joy and disbelief in his heart.


    He clearly remembered watching his teacher enter the Nine Mountains World.


    Moreover, his teacher¡¯s soul lamp had extinguished, and the two Demigod Peak members of the Alien Race who had been controlled by a soul, had regained freedom, plus Yun Lao¡¯s words were definitive.


    Thus, although heartbroken, Fang Hai believed it.


    And he had taken on the responsibility of ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    Later, during the invasion battle of the Myriad Demons Civilization, allies at the Demigod level kept falling, and the teacher did not appear again, leaving Fang Hai without hope.


    ...


    Today, facing the terrifying ¡°Heavenly Fire Realm Beast,¡± Fang Hai fought with all his might but was still at an absolute disadvantage, barely managing to hold off the beast using the peculiarity of his Sword Technique, fearing he would be defeated in moments.


    It could be said that Fang Hai had lost all hope.


    Even when facing the invasion of hundreds of Demigods before, he had broken through in desperation, initially thinking he could protect the civilization, but the Myriad Demons Civilization mobilized an even more powerful force, leading to complete despair.


    Fang Hai¡¯s heart was filled with guilt towards his ¡°teacher¡± and towards the entire civilization.


    In his mind, he even saw many images of countless lives falling on various planets.


    Fang Hai could have never imagined.


    In this most desperate moment, his presumably fallen teacher suddenly appeared.


    ¡°Fang Hai, Master has always been alive and has always been on Feixing, don¡¯t doubt it.¡± Yun Lao¡¯s voice also suddenly echoed in Fang Hai¡¯s mind, ¡°Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have refused to acknowledge you as my master.¡±


    Fang Hai was certain.


    Swoosh!


    He immediately retreated, flying backward with full confidence, without worrying about Dongfang Ji.


    Even though he himself possessed nearly Pseudo-God combat strength, in Fang Hai¡¯s heart, teacher Dongfang Ji was always invincible.


    As long as the teacher was there, the entire civilization was unshakable.


    ¡­


    ¡°How could this be! How could the Myriad Demons Civilization possess such a terrifying treasure?¡±


    ¡°Such an Origin Power Battle Array, even in the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there are but a few.¡±


    ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization had it, why haven¡¯t they used it in the long past years?¡±


    ¡°Could it be something they recently acquired?¡± Below in the void, each fleeing Demigod was filled with rage and unwillingness.


    They hated it!


    Clearly, Alliance Hierarch Fang Hai had broken through, and under the enhancement of the formation, he had achieved the invincible might of a Demigod, which should have been solid as gold.


    Why then must the civilization still undergo such a calamity?


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Look!¡± A voice full of surprise sounded, followed by everyone including Li Yuan, Liu Bing, all stunned.


    They all clearly sensed the aura of the white-robed figure that appeared in the void.


    It was so familiar.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch isn¡¯t dead?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Dongfang Alliance Leader!¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader didn¡¯t die? Has he always been on Feixing or did he just return to Feixing?¡± sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°We have hope now!¡±


    ¡°Our Seven Star Civilization is saved, no need for the grand migration plan anymore.¡± This group of Seven Stars Demigods immediately erupted with excitement, their hearts full of exhilaration.


    At this moment, everyone involuntarily stopped in their tracks, looking up into the higher void.


    They all instinctively believed.


    With Dongfang Ji there, the seemingly overwhelmingly strong Heavenly Fire Realm Beast was definitely not a match.


    This wasn¡¯t blind confidence.


    Rather, it was the lofty reputation brought by Dongfang Ji¡¯s resolution of civilization crises time and time again, instilling awe in all parties.


    Whether it was the once first person of civilization, Lant Semi-Divine, or the recently crisis-averting Fang Hai¡­in their hearts, none could compare to Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji?¡± Liu Bing stared wide-eyed at the figure in the void, ¡°Big brother, can he win? According to Senior Qiu, that Fifth Rank Origin Power Array is quite strong even among Initial Rank Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    ¡°Definitely!¡± Li Yuan declared firmly.


    Liu Bing nodded, not speaking further. She didn¡¯t feel much reverence for Dongfang Ji, but she sensed Li Yuan¡¯s apparent change.


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Demon Mountain Star.


    ¡°They¡¯ve engaged.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, even with the Origin Power Array¡¯s aid, Fang Hai is no match for the Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re going to win!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai¡¯s Sword Technique is indeed special, managing to entangle briefly, even though he technically only possesses the strength on the threshold of Pseudo-God, he should¡¯ve been defeated quickly.¡±


    ¡°His comprehension of the Law of Water, inherently good at defense, different laws excel in different areas, isn¡¯t surprising.¡± The three Divine of the Myriad Demons Civilization watched the giant screen nearby, conversing among themselves, their mood quite relaxed.


    This battle, as they had anticipated, once the Fifth Rank Origin Power Array was deployed, the Seven Star Civilization had no power to resist.


    Victory was within grasp.


    ¡°Who is that?¡± Bei Yue Deity suddenly pointed at the screen and exclaimed, ¡°Is that Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°What? Dongfang Ji?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°It seems so!¡± Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s smile also stiffened, as the three instantly recognized Dongfang Ji.


    Dongfang Ji had not altered his appearance.


    ¡°Quick! East Demon, tell Sha Kun to retreat.¡± Qiong Jin Deity rushed, ¡°Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead, this is definitely a trap.¡±


    Qiong Jin Deity was truly anxious.


    Dongfang Ji, in his mind, was an absolutely invincible existence in the Semi-Divine Realm, truly capable of matching a Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes.¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of cold intent, ¡°This time might also be an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°Opportunity?¡± Qiong Jin Deity was startled.


    ¡°If Sha Kun hasn¡¯t broken through, even with the Origin Power Array, he¡¯s definitely no match for Dongfang Ji.¡± East Demon Deity spoke gravely, ¡°But the might of the Origin Power Array exceeds our expectations¡­Sha Kun, the Demigod leading the Array, his strength is close to a Middle Rank Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is great, but he¡¯s only a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Even if he possesses the strength of a Middle Rank Pseudo-God, it¡¯s difficult for him to swiftly defeat Sha Kun¡¯s Demigod strength.¡± East Demon Deity said, ¡°After all, he is just a Demigod, his strength has its limits.¡±

    Chapter 732: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)_2


    Qiong Jin Deity hesitated.


    Communication between divine beings was exceedingly fast.


    ¡°The move has been made,¡± exclaimed Bei Yue Deity, ¡°Dongfang Ji has made his move.¡±


    ¡­


    Upon Feixing, within the Origin Power Array that radiated endless golden light, facing Fang Hai¡¯s retreat, the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast didn¡¯t pursue.


    Because¡ª


    ...


    It, too, saw Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine, the commander of the battle array, stared intently at the white-robed phantom, filled with vigilance.


    Just before, he operated the formation, his sense spreading around, but he hadn¡¯t detected the other¡¯s presence at all.


    Such a technique was enough to make him cautious.


    And at Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s realm, he felt a fatal threat emanating from that white-robed figure.


    ¡°Are you still alive? Or are you an imposter of another Semi-Divine?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine had the urge to retreat.


    This white-robed figure, though appearing the same¡ª


    But he, along with the hundreds of Semi-Divines he led, had not truly seen Dongfang Ji and were unclear about Dongfang Ji¡¯s soul aura, so they could not fully confirm.


    After all, those of Myriad Demons Civilization who had seen Dongfang Ji were all dead.


    The only one who had seen him, Ye An Semi-Divine, was still in the Demon Mountain Star Realm and had not arrived.


    ¡°Are you Sha Kun?¡± Dongfang Ji looked down at the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, his voice gentle yet unquestionably imperious.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine fell silent, feeling a twinge of panic.


    ¡°Swordsmanship has reached the Pseudo-God Level, there can be no mistake,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A golden long sword materialized in Dongfang Ji¡¯s palm, its blade flaring with a glow of golden light.


    The appearance of this light seemed to command the entire world; the very heavens and earth grew dim, instilling fear in the hearts of all present Semi-Divines.


    Even Snow Dragon Demigod, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and others, though aware that the Divine Sword would not target them, couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of despair.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan held his breath, his soul feeling a sense of stiffness.


    With that sword thrust, he would certainly perish. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This is¡­ Law of Heaven and Earth! A sword unsheathed, suppressing heaven and earth! How is this possible?¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, echoing with shock, ¡°How can this be! How can a Semi-Divine possibly achieve this! This shouldn¡¯t be happening, how long has he been cultivating? What kind of monster is this?¡±


    Law of Heaven and Earth? Li Yuan was also shocked.


    As far as he knew, Sixth Stage technique was the condensation of True Intent of heaven and earth, representing an understanding of the Mysteries of the Law to a certain degree.


    Seventh Stage was to step into the Threshold of the Law, being able to sense the Origin fluctuations of the Great Dao in the unknown.


    Eighth Stage was the Law Will, able to project one¡¯s will over tens of thousands of miles, sensing vast spatial fluctuations, which is why Pseudo-Gods often had some comprehension of Space Law.


    Above that, was the Ninth Stage¡ªLaw of Heaven and Earth.


    With the Mysteries of the Law comprehended, one creates their domain, and with every move made, could sever the Power of Heaven and Earth that an enemy invokes.


    If one reached such a level, it signified that their comprehension of a particular Law of the Great Dao was extremely profound, beyond which lay the legendary ¡®Tenth Stage Mastery of the Dao.¡¯


    But reaching Ninth Stage Law of Heaven and Earth was exceedingly difficult.


    According to the information in the Inheritance Crystal Stone, even powerful True Gods often failed to reach the level of ¡®Law of Heaven and Earth.¡¯


    Could it be that Alliance Hierarch¡¯s Law Comprehension has reached this level?


    At the scene¡ª


    Apart from Li Yuan, only Fang Hai had a slight sense; the others had no clue what the light meant.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s pupils shrank, feeling the abrupt change in the surrounding heavens and earth, recalling some records he had read, his heart trembling.


    Just as he thought to flee¡ª


    It was too late!


    Swoosh!


    Dongfang Ji had already thrust out with his sword, a stroke of golden light already sweeping across the Vast Sky, aiming Straight Thrust at the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    The sword was too fast.


    Even though Sha Kun Semi-Divine fled at the first opportunity, his speed was extremely fast, but that sword light was faster, being a hundred miles away one second, and in the next, it had descended upon the head of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    Under the invisible suppression of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast could only manage to swing two arms wielding swords to block.


    ¡°Boom~¡± ¡°Boom~¡±


    ¡°Tear!¡±


    After one collision, the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast¡¯s two arms shattered layer by layer. The Divine Sword was flung away, and then the sword light had already pierced through the thick layer of Fire Origin Power defense of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    The Origin Power Battle Array roared as it began to crumble, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Power dispersed, revealing a multitude of terrified Semi-Divines inside.


    And after piercing through the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, that sword light suddenly split into countless fine sword beams, striking at each and every Semi-Divine, slaying them mercilessly¡­ Even Sha Kun Semi-Divine, whose strength was close to the Pseudo-God Level, was ruthlessly killed by that remaining sword light.


    Eventually, tranquility returned to the world.


    That massive ¡®Heavenly Fire Realm Beast¡¯ disappeared into smoke and clouds, leaving nothing but a multitude of weapons and Storage Magical Treasures suspended in the void.


    All was quiet.


    ¡°What?¡± Fang Hai, who had just retreated to the back, was stunned. He had unshakeable faith in his teacher, but he had not expected his teacher to kill the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast so effortlessly.


    He had fought against the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast and was well aware of its terrifying strength.


    ¡°One Sword?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve won?¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, he!¡± The other Semi-Divines were also bewildered; the scene was too shocking for them.


    Was that invincible, terrifying Origin Power Battle Array, capable of destroying the Seven Great Planets, truly wiped out just like that?


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan also held his breath, ¡°Could it be that Alliance Hierarch¡¯s comprehension of the Law truly reached the Ninth Stage Level?¡±


    ¡°Or has he actually broken through to become a Pseudo-God?¡±


    Aside from these two possibilities, with Li Yuan¡¯s insight, no other could be conceived.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Liu Bing was equally baffled and couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan, ¡°Big brother, is this the strength of your civilization¡¯s Alliance Hierarch? Is he really that powerful?¡±

 Chapter 733 - 390: Dongfang Jis Strength (Additional Update)_3

    Chapter 733: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)_3


    Liu Bing, with her inherited memories, possessed an exceptionally high level of understanding, and her own strength was also formidable¡­ From watching Fang Hai battle with the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, she could infer that the beast¡¯s strength was rather strong among those of the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    This kind of strength!


    To be exterminated by a single sword strike from Dongfang Ji, what kind of terrifying power was that?


    ¡°Pseudo-God Middle Rank?¡±


    ¡°No! It should be the Peak of Pseudo-God,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s mind raced with many thoughts. ¡°It might even be stronger¡­ Is this really a demigod that could be born in the Mortal Domain?¡±


    Even in the Divine Realm, where monsters with Eight Star Veins awakened as demigods, it was extremely difficult to unleash the power of the Peak of Pseudo-God. They were all world-renowned, exceptional talents.


    ...


    And the birth of such talents required not only extremely high innate gifts but also the best external environment.


    What about the Mortal Domain then?


    ¡°Even if I were to attain demigod status and cultivate for a hundred years, I might not possess such strength,¡± Liu Bing thought to herself, shuddering. After all, she was a top-tier Wind Elemental Divine Beast!


    How about him? He did not possess powerful bloodlines like her and was merely born in the Mortal Domain. Moreover, according to her brother¡¯s words, he had been cultivating for less than two hundred years. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Such a prodigious talent, if he were to go to the Divine Realm, how much more could he grow?


    Liu Bing dared not imagine.


    ¡°Could it be that with my brother¡¯s talent and potential, even he holds Dongfang Alliance Leader in such high regard?¡± Liu Bing thought to herself.


    In the void.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, Dongfang Ji collected the many treasures left behind by the hundreds of demigods.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Fang Hai approached, both excited and shocked, his eyes even sparkling with tears.


    This ¡®New Seven Stars Alliance Leader,¡¯ seen by other demigods as resolute and decisive, now seemed like a child.


    ¡°You have done well, your teacher has seen it all, good job,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    Fang Hai nodded, for him, his teacher¡¯s praise was the greatest achievement.


    However, Fang Hai still had many questions, he could not help but say, ¡°Teacher, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, before we leave, I will tell you everything,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°But, we¡¯ve barely set up this trap; we need to kill all the fleas that deserve to be killed.¡±


    ¡°The ones that need to be killed?¡± Fang Hai was taken aback.


    Whoosh!


    Dongfang Ji stepped forward, his speed soaring to an unbelievable extent, making Fang Hai¡¯s eyelids twitch.


    ¡°Teacher¡¯s speed must have surpassed 100 kilometers per second,¡± Fang Hai trembled inwardly.


    Such speed, even most Pseudo-Gods probably couldn¡¯t reach it.


    Swoosh!


    Dongfang Ji had already charged into the Star Realm Passage.


    ¡°Could there be other demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the Demon Mountain Star Realm?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s mind brimmed with thoughts: ¡°Or is the teacher planning to go straight into the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡±


    The demigods of Demon Mountain could travel along the Star Realm Passage¡­ so naturally, the demigods of the Seven Star Civilization could as well.


    In the past, divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization had always guarded the passage; hence the Seven Star Civilization had never done so.


    Dongfang Ji had never killed his way over either.


    But today, having witnessed the teacher¡¯s strength, Fang Hai could not help but speculate.


    ¡­


    In the Myriad Demons Civilization, above the huge Star Realm Passage on Demon Mountain Star, those few massive light screens had come to a complete stop because the demigods responsible for transmitting messages had all died.


    The three deities looking at the screens were lost in thought, a hint of fear even visible in their eyes.


    ¡°Is it really Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°According to the messages sent back, Dongfang Ji is still a demigod.¡±


    ¡°A demigod, able to exterminate the Origin Power Array in one move? What kind of power is this? Pseudo-God Middle Rank? Or Peak of Pseudo-God?¡±


    ¡°How could Dongfang Ji¡¯s power be so terrifying after such a short time of cultivation?¡± The Eastern Demon Deity, Qiong Jin Deity, and Bei Yue Deity felt a chill in their hearts.


    This power was too strong.


    They had always been wary of Dongfang Ji, realizing that he might have already formed ¡®Law Will¡¯, and his strength should have reached the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    Therefore, entities like the Eastern Demon Deity had already given up on invading.


    The so-called invincible realm of a demigod is just reaching the threshold of Pseudo-God, signifying the new Pseudo-God¡¯s power.


    ¡°One sword, if he truly has the power of the Peak of Pseudo-God, what level would his Law Comprehension be?¡± Bei Yue Deity said, voice trembling slightly: ¡°Could it be that his Law Comprehension has reached Eighth Rank Perfect?¡±


    ¡°How did he cultivate? He¡¯s not even two hundred years old!¡±


    The three great deities were indeed frightened; such strength completely surpassed their understanding.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji has entered the Demon Mountain Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Those hundred-plus demigods didn¡¯t have time to flee; some were killed, some were suppressed and killed,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said bitterly: ¡°All are done for.¡±


    The moment the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast died, the Eastern Demon Deity had already ordered the many demigods of the Demon Mountain Star Realm to retreat quickly.


    Yet, it was still too late.


    Or perhaps.


    With Dongfang Ji¡¯s speed, once he made his move, it would be impossible for those hundred-plus demigods to escape.


    After a few seconds of silence.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°This is a trap, a trap!!¡± Qiong Jin Deity suddenly let out an angry roar: ¡°His target is Sha Kun, Dongfang Ji¡¯s target, is my disciple, Sha Kun!!¡±


    The Eastern Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity exchanged glances but said nothing.


    At this point.


    They all understood that this war, from when the so-called ¡®news of Dongfang Ji¡¯s fall¡¯ was reported until now, was definitely a Killing Formation laid out by Dongfang Ji.


    The target was probably Sha Kun Semi-Divine.


    ¡°In theory, with the strength shown by Dongfang Ji, he doesn¡¯t need to care about Sha Kun,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity gravely: ¡°Could it be that he is really preparing to leave the Seven Star Civilization, therefore before departing¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t suppose anymore, put away your speculations. With the loss of so many demigods in our civilization now, even if Dongfang Ji is not around, how can you cope with only Fang Hai left?¡± Qiong Jin Deity shouted angrily: ¡°You fool, because of your judgment, my disciple was killed, and our civilization lost the majority of its demigods!!¡±

 Chapter 734 - 390: Dongfang Jis Strength (Additional Update)_4

    Chapter 734: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)_4


    Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s heart was bleeding.


    His only disciple with a hope to ascend to godhood had died just like that.


    With less than a thousand years of life left, he had no assurance he could nurture another Divine.


    ¡°Qiong Jin,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said angrily, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to see this happen either. My loss is substantial too. The Eight Directions Fire Realm Array¡­ its value rivals that of a True God Instrument, and the treasures mortgaged to the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all provided by me.¡±


    This time, in terms of treasure loss, the Eastern Demon Deity suffered the most.


    But he knew he was at fault and understood that all the war plans had been his idea, so he said nothing.


    ...


    ¡°War is always a risk,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stared at the other, ¡°To gain something, one must take risks.¡±


    ¡°Can treasures compare to my disciple¡¯s life?¡± Qiong Jin Deity retorted.


    ¡°Both of you stop quarreling,¡± the Bei Yue Deity said coldly. ¡°Think about how to deal with Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°Given his strength, once he travels here through the Star Realm Passage, I alone can¡¯t stop him.¡±


    ¡°When he breaks through and becomes a Pseudo-God within the territory of my Myriad Demons Civilization, his strength will skyrocket even more. What then?¡± Bei Yue Deity added.


    Both deities fell silent.


    What Bei Yue Deity mentioned was exactly what they feared and worried about the most.


    Normally, external deities cannot descend onto the Dimensional Plane.


    But there was one exception, that is, entering as a demigod and then breaking through¡­ even if the plane¡¯s origin repelled, they wouldn¡¯t be directly expelled.


    Dongfang Ji, terrifying even as a demigod.


    Should he intrude into the Myriad Demons Civilization, break through to become a Pseudo-God there, and then conceal himself for a period of Concealed Cultivation, raising his Origin Power Cultivation, Star Technique, and so on to another level¡­ even the powerful Eastern Demon Deity would have no assurance of survival.


    The three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity were both at the Pseudo-God Middle Rank, only the Eastern Demon Deity was a Peak Pseudo-God.


    ¡°From this day forward.¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly, ¡°I will also stay and guard at Demon Mountain Star. With the Origin Power Array compressing and reinforcing us, even if he is a Peak Pseudo-God, he won¡¯t be able to break through.¡±


    Bei Yue Deity nodded involuntarily.


    She had long been stationed here, unconcerned precisely because of the Origin Power Array, which did not fear even a Peak Pseudo-God.


    Now, with the Eastern Demon Deity joining, it would be even easier to guard.


    ¡°Now, I actually hope that he breaks through to become a god sooner,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said with a cold look in his eyes. ¡°Every day he is not a god, he poses the greatest threat to my Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°From today, I will also stay and guard, ensuring nothing goes wrong.¡±


    The three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization had made the same decision¡ªto jointly guard the Star of Demon Mountain.


    ¡­


    At Feixing, outside the Star Realm Passage.


    Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Fang Hai, along with a large group of demigods, were quietly waiting outside the passage.


    Only Lant Semi-Divine, still operating the grand array, hadn¡¯t come out.


    Suddenly, a streak of light flashed from the Star Realm Passage, and in a blink, it approached everyone.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Fang Hai approached excitedly and bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan also wore a face full of joy.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Snow Dragon Demigod and the rest also approached and bowed respectfully, their hearts filled with joy.


    Though Fang Hai was now the Alliance Hierarch.


    Yet the moment everyone saw Dongfang Ji, they instinctively addressed him as ¡®Alliance Hierarch¡¯.


    ¡°Teacher, how did it go?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°The more than a hundred demigods left by the Myriad Demons Civilization at the Demon Mountain Star Realm have all been eliminated,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke very calmly.


    The numerous demigods shuddered.


    Over a hundred demigods? In less than a minute, they had been exterminated by the Alliance Hierarch?


    But, considering Dongfang Ji¡¯s strength, everyone realized it made sense.


    Even if Dongfang Ji claimed he had slaughtered the deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization, no one would be too surprised. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This battle at Feixing, I¡¯ve been secretly observing,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone. ¡°I have seen all your actions, and you have done very well.¡±


    Always been here?


    Many demigods thought.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, please forgive my impudence,¡± Tianhuo Demigod couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Since you were here all along, why didn¡¯t you intervene to save them when Qinghe Demigod and the others perished?¡±


    Everyone quieted down, even Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but look towards his teacher.


    This was also the doubt in Fang Hai¡¯s heart after knowing Dongfang Ji had been at Feixing all along.


    If Fang Hai hadn¡¯t made his breakthrough and stopped the first wave of invasion from the Myriad Demons Civilization, San Ye Demigod would have undoubtedly perished.


    Teacher, why didn¡¯t you intervene?


    ¡°Because of Sha Kun.¡±


    ¡°If I had intervened earlier, would the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Sha Kun Demigod come today, leading so many demigods?¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°My target was Sha Kun.¡±


    ¡°He has Pseudo-God Level insights but is still a demigod.¡±


    ¡°If I wasn¡¯t here, could you have withstood this battle at Feixing?¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s gaze swept over everyone.

 Chapter 735 - 391: The Reason

    Chapter 735: Chapter 391: The Reason


    If Dongfang Ji were not present?


    The demigods in attendance all quieted down, not daring to speak further.


    It had been proven that if Dongfang Ji were not present, they would only be able to carry out the Great Migration Plan, even if Fang Hai made his breakthrough, it could not stop the assault of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s vast army.


    Of course, people like Li Yuan and the Snow Dragon Demigod still harbored many doubts.


    Logically, with the strength Dongfang Ji had demonstrated, what could the Sha Kun Demigod¡¯s Law Comprehension at the Pseudo-God Level amount to?


    As long as Dongfang Ji were there, logically, the Seven Star Civilization should be as stable as Mount Tai.


    ...


    Even if Sha Kun Demigod eventually became a Pseudo-God, but the Myriad Demons Civilization already had three Pseudo-Gods, even adding one more would hardly affect the overall situation, so why bother setting up this game?


    Many demigods were puzzled.


    However, looking at the final battle results, on their side only three demigods fell, whereas more than seven hundred demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization perished in battle, including one formidable demigod who was hopeful of becoming a Pseudo-God¡­ This rate of casualties was enough to prove the correctness of Dongfang Ji¡¯s decisions.


    In war, there are no battles without death.


    Now, the remaining demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization were probably just over three hundred and generally of weaker strength¡­ no longer possessing the conditions to wage war against the Seven Star Civilization.


    Although the Myriad Demons Civilization possesses tens of planets and a vast life force that will continuously give birth to powerhouses¡­ to recover to a state of over a thousand demigods at their peak, it would also take at least hundreds of years.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°The great battle is over, but the extensive invasion of the Flying Heaven by the Myriad Demons Civilization has also caused damage to various major planets¡­ all demigods should return first, to carry out all necessary pacification work.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Many demigods responded reverently. Most of them held various positions.


    ¡°Fang Hai, again, order the demigods who rushed from the major planets to return to their original planets.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡°Yes, I will give out the orders immediately.¡± Fang Hai nodded repeatedly.


    ¡°Then, for the dead demigods of Flame City, Qinghe, and Wind Fox, record their merits, engrave their names inside the ¡®Seven Stars Hall,¡¯ and organize memorial events within the civilization¡­ for their families, clans, and even close disciples, provide compensations.¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai, ¡°Anyone who dares to plot against their treasures after their death, kill them without mercy.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Fang Hai responded solemnly.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, anyone who had made significant contributions or sacrifices during the rise of the civilization would have their names preserved in the Seven Stars Hall, worshiped by the entire civilization without end.


    And Dongfang Ji¡¯s last words, without a doubt, were meant for the demigods present.


    ¡°Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, Elder Lant, stay behind¡­ the rest of you may leave.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡­


    The many demigods dispersed, and the Origin Power Array that enveloped heaven and earth also slowly retracted.


    Outside the Star Realm Passage, only a few figures remained.


    ¡°Teacher, what exactly happened when you previously perished? When did you return from the Nine Mountains World?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Li Yuan and the Lant Semi-Divine also curiously looked towards Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°I knew you would ask.¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°Actually, I had already returned to Feixing a year ago.¡±


    ¡°But at that time, even Xiaoyun did not know I had come back.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡°Master.¡± A phantom appeared by Dongfang Ji¡¯s side, precisely in the form of Elder Yun.


    Elder Yun was extremely respectful.


    A year ago?


    The expressions of everyone present changed, especially Li Yuan¡¯s.


    Because the crisis at Lantie Star was just half a year ago.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, this means, you returned to Feixing from the Nine Mountains World just after half a year?¡± Li Yuan whispered.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°Li Yuan, I know what you¡¯re thinking. During the crisis at Lantie Star, I was indeed within the civilization¡­ to be precise, I arrived at Lantie Star just a few days later.¡±


    ¡°But you did not intervene.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying.


    The danger at Lantie Star ultimately resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors and billions of civilians!


    If Dongfang Ji had intervened, the losses would have been greatly reduced.


    ¡°Why should I intervene in just a Flying Heaven invasion?¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°When you were dueling those three Initial Rank demigods, I was secretly observing¡­ If you truly couldn¡¯t match them, I would have intervened and killed those three demigods.¡±


    ¡°But in the end, you performed well and won that battle.¡±


    ¡°I did not intervene, nor did I reveal my presence; I merely observed everything.¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    He understood Dongfang Ji¡¯s meaning; if the Alien Race Semi-Divine on Lantie Star were to massacre on a large scale, Dongfang Ji would intervene to stop it¡­ but if it were only Flying Heaven Level or weaker Alien Races not causing catastrophic damage, he would not bother.


    Even if many people died in these disasters, Dongfang Ji would not intervene.


    ¡°Grinding!¡±


    ¡°A powerful person must grind himself through life and death repeatedly, comprehending his temperament, to grow.¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°A civilization is the same, the Seven Star Civilization isn¡¯t just mine, or just us few individuals¡¯¡­ but it comprises hundreds of billions of people.¡±


    ¡°If I were to eliminate all dangers.¡±


    ¡°Countless ordinary people would only become complacent, like those many First Level and Second Level Star Realms, why don¡¯t I allow you to completely eradicate them?¡± Dongfang Ji spoke calmly, ¡°Creating a sense of crisis within the entire civilization is the only way to provide countless ordinary people with the motivation to strive.¡±


    ¡°If everyone feels safe, the willingness to work on cultivation would greatly decrease.¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°The crisis at Lantie Star¡­ in my view, it is just a minor grinding in the process of the civilization¡¯s empowerment.¡±


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai both fell silent.


    The two of them were the next-generation leaders designated by Dongfang Ji for the civilization, and their hearts were significantly stirred. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Teacher, about this arrangement?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Because, the time of my departure is drawing near.¡± Dongfang Ji sighed.

 Chapter 736 - 391: The Reason_2

    Chapter 736: Chapter 391: The Reason_2


    ¡°`


    Leaving?


    Both Li Yuan and Lant Semi-Divine were surprised, only Fang Hai was not so startled, seemingly having anticipated this.


    ¡°Fang Hai broke through to become a demigod, successfully returning from the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    ¡°Along with you, Li Yuan,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°it reassured me that even in my absence, our entire civilization wouldn¡¯t be utterly destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Therefore,¡±


    ...


    ¡°I embarked on my journey to the Nine Mountains World, and everything went as I predicted, very smoothly, so it only took half a year to accomplish without much danger.¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s gaze swept over the few: ¡°There was just one event that went beyond my expectations¡­ three years.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t disclose the specifics.¡±


    ¡°But the most time I can remain within our civilization is three years, after which I must leave the Mortal Domain and will not be able to return for a very long time.¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°To the Divine Realm?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°The specific reasons will become clear to you once you make your own way into the Nine Mountains World.¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan did not inquire further.


    It seemed that Dongfang Ji had sworn a law oath and couldn¡¯t openly discuss many things.


    ¡°That is also why I have not shown myself until now.¡±


    ¡°In my plan, I would have had both of you undergo two more years of tempering before handing over the full authority of the civilization to you before I left.¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    Today, the topic that the Dongfang Alliance Leader kept stressing, ¡®if I am not here,¡¯ might be for this very reason.


    It¡¯s not that Dongfang Ji doesn¡¯t cherish the Seven Star Civilization.


    But his remaining time is only three years.


    ¡°From the beginning, I had no intention of engaging the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head: ¡°I can¡¯t breakthrough to become a Pseudo-God¡­ My strength is not enough to kill those Pseudo-Gods, and even if I did kill some demigods, it wouldn¡¯t mean much.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, originally, I wanted the Myriad Demons Civilization to serve as the whetstone for you two,¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°Knowing I will soon leave, this time in the Nine Mountains World, I specifically brought back some secret weapons.¡±


    ¡°The Origin Power Array, forty demigod peak puppets, that was what I brought back before, only I never told anyone.¡±


    ¡°And this time, returning from the Nine Mountains World, I brought back three puppets with the strength of the Pseudo-God threshold.¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°I¡¯ve left one on each Feixing, Heavenly Sea Star, and Blue Star as the ultimate reserve.¡±


    ¡°In secret, it is Yun Lao that controls them.¡± Dongfang Ji pointed to Cloud Elder at the side.


    Those present were all shocked to hear this.


    Puppets of the Pseudo-God level?


    ¡°Freak! Freak!¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice rang in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Big brother, your alliance leader is a freak. Even the full fortune of a peak Pseudo-God might not trade for a Pseudo-God level puppet¡­ What kind of treasures does the Nine Mountains World contain, exactly?¡±


    Li Yuan also felt a pang of emotion.


    His vision was not bad; he understood the value of the Pseudo-God level puppets.


    Such level puppets are usually given by True Gods to their close friends and disciples as ¡®guardians.¡¯


    And the Dongfang Alliance Leader? He unhesitatingly produced three at once, what magnificent generosity.


    ¡°With the Origin Power Array and these puppets for protection, under normal circumstances, even if I am not here, even if the Myriad Demons army invades, they won¡¯t be able to shake our civilization.¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°Just give it another ten years, once you two grow strong, it will be completely stable.¡±


    Everyone nodded, Dongfang Ji had considered everything very thoroughly.


    ¡°But, man¡¯s plans are no match for fate.¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head: ¡°Two months ago, I unexpectedly learned something, Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s Law Comprehension has reached the Pseudo-God level.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization, usually produces a Pseudo-God every thousand years¡­ Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s breakthrough is too coincidental¡­ perhaps this is fate, and I am helpless against it.¡±


    ¡°This, has forced me to reconsider.¡±


    ¡°`


    Everyone was listening.


    ¡°Once I leave two years from now, with Sha Kun Semi-Divine in charge, and the Myriad Demons Civilization invading again¡­ can you withstand them?¡± Dongfang Ji sighed, ¡°At that time, Fang Hai, you had not yet made a breakthrough.¡± Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I¡¯ve let Teacher down,¡± said Fang Hai.


    Before the great battle in Feixing, aside from numerous puppets and arrays, Fang Hai¡¯s strength was only at the limit of Semi-Divine.


    Fang Hai made a breakthrough in the madness of life and death during the great battle.


    However, before the battle, by following the prescribed practices, Fang Hai was not certain he could definitely make a breakthrough within two years.


    Even if he had broken through, this time, he ultimately failed to stop the attack of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    ¡°In my estimation, if no action is taken, the Seven Star Civilization will face a danger period of 5¨C10 years,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Only the emergence of a strong being who has reached the ¡®Initial Rank of Pseudo-God¡¯ could be considered stable.


    ¡°Once I have disappeared for too long, it could easily arouse the suspicion of the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°After all, I have been clandestinely conducting transactions with many deities of the Mortal Domain, even with the ¡®Bei Yue Deity¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said. (Chapter 266)


    The more the crowd listened, the more shocked they became.


    ¡°After pondering, rather than betting on the Myriad Demons Civilization not invading, it¡¯s better to set up a trap and eliminate the danger completely,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a faint smile, ¡°Hence, there came the news of my breakthrough and demise.¡±


    ¡°To make everything more realistic.¡±


    ¡°Except for Xiaoyun, I did not tell anyone the truth and also actively lifted the Soul Control on those two Semi-Divine Alien Races,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°In addition, I commanded my Soul servant, Ye An Semi Divine, to pretend to regain freedom¡­ to deceive the Eastern Demon Deity.¡± (Chapter 378)


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, a young man wearing Black Armor Combat Armor immediately appeared at Dongfang Ji¡¯s side; it was Ye An Semi Divine.


    ¡°Master,¡± Ye An Semi Divine bowed respectfully to Dongfang Ji and also gave a respectful greeting to several others around him, ¡°Greetings, esteemed ones.¡±


    This scene left Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Lant Semi-Divine somewhat astonished.


    It turned out Ye An Semi Divine had been disguising all along.


    ¡°That idiot Eastern Demon Deity, how could he know that Master¡¯s Soul Secret Technique had reached a higher level, one that he, a mere Pseudo-God, could not distinguish between truth and falsehood?¡± Ye An Semi Divine shook his head, ¡°I, following Master¡¯s orders, slightly disguised myself, and it was enough to fool him.¡±


    The crowd suddenly understood.


    ¡°Ye An returning now would definitely lead to his death by the enraged Eastern Demon Deity,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°So, I have brought him back, and from now on, he will stay in Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said respectfully.


    Whoosh!


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand and put Ye An Semi Divine away, apparently not wanting this servant to know too much.


    ¡°Once everything is ready.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization began their probing,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°In my plan, if Sha Kun Semi-Divine does not appear¡­ even if it means some Semi-Divines die in this battle, even if billions or tens of billions perish, I will not reveal myself.¡±


    ¡°My target is Sha Kun.¡±


    ¡°After all, once he sneaks into Feixing in secret, then breaks through to become a Pseudo-God, you would absolutely be unable to stop him,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes flashed with cold determination, ¡°He must die.¡±


    ¡°This is also something I hope you will remember,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan and Fang Hai, ¡°As leaders of a civilization, you must be prepared to make tough choices at critical moments.¡±


    ¡°No civilization can flourish forever!¡±


    ¡°The merciful cannot command an army.¡±


    ¡°If the day comes when the civilization¡¯s very existence is at stake, even if it means ten or twenty Semi-Divines must die in battle, even if five hundred billion or a trillion people must die, that action must be taken.¡±


    ¡°The more you want to save everything, the more you will lose everything,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s words caused both Li Yuan and Fang Hai¡¯s hearts to tremble.

 Chapter 737 - 392: The Gift! The Secret of the Battle Formation

    Chapter 737: Chapter 392: The Gift! The Secret of the Battle Formation


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s words indeed had a profound impact on Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    If one were alone, one could act recklessly without too much concern.


    But when tasked with the safety of an entire civilization, one must consider various aspects and must not hesitate when it¡¯s time to make a decision.


    ¡°Of course, you both have performed better than I anticipated.¡±


    ¡°At the critical moment, Fang Hai, your breakthrough in swordsmanship and the sudden increase in strength prevented that Pseudo-God Puppet from being used,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Li Yuan, you also performed very well in rescuing various planets, greatly reducing casualties among the common people.¡±


    ¡°Most importantly, you have initially grasped the mysteries of space, which is very significant,¡± Dongfang Ji remarked emotionally. ¡°To step into the threshold of the space lineage, even I had to undergo a soul metamorphosis into the Void God Realm before I could start comprehending the mysteries of space.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I was not wrong in my initial prediction; you have an incredible talent in the space law,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan understood.


    The time he sensed the mysteries of space was indeed very early, whether it was soul cultivation level or the comprehension level of Earth and Wind laws¡­ Logically, none of these were sufficient to support sensing the mysteries of space so early.


    This could only mean that his compatibility with the space law must be incredibly high.


    ¡°The breakthrough of Fang Hai.¡± sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In a sense, it completely confirmed to the Myriad Demons Civilization that I had perished,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Ultimately, Sha Kun came.¡±


    ¡°The one thing I always believed was that if Sha Kun still harbored the desire to become a True God, he would not let the opportunity of Nine Mountains World pass by,¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.?0


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai both nodded unconsciously.


    Putting themselves in that position, faced with such an enticing opportunity, they would likely have been tempted as well.


    ¡°The only thing that surprised me was the use of a Fifth Rank Battle Array by the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji remarked. ¡°But it didn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    ¡°As soon as the Origin Power Array appeared and clashed with Fang Hai, revealing Pseudo-God level techniques, I knew it was time to draw the net,¡± Dongfang Ji stated lightly. ¡°To directly eradicate it.¡±


    ¡°Now, the Myriad Demons Civilization has completely lost the possibility of invasion.¡±


    ¡°My departure in two years will also be without worries,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at those present.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    It could be said that after this battle, the Seven Star Civilization was virtually without worries.


    ¡°Teacher, if you had set up this plan and Sha Kun Semi-Divine had ultimately not come, what would you have done?¡± Fang Hai suddenly asked.


    ¡°I would have entered Myriad Demons Civilization before leaving and fought with that Bei Yue Deity,¡± Dongfang Ji replied. ¡°I might not have killed them, but with my strength, I could deter them and buy you as much time as possible.¡±


    ¡°But under that scenario, whether I could entirely deter them, I couldn¡¯t be absolutely sure,¡± Dongfang Ji admitted openly.


    ¡°One generation should only worry about its own affairs.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, whether future civilizations will face calamities or whether they can survive¡­ that is a responsibility for you and the subsequent cultural leaders.¡±


    ¡°Even if I return in the future, if the civilization has perished, I will not be too saddened,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly. ¡°I have tried my best, and that¡¯s all I can ask for without regrets.¡±


    Li Yuan felt Dongfang Ji¡¯s state of mind.


    To try one¡¯s best and have no regrets.


    It could be said that Dongfang Ji had indeed achieved this.


    ¡°Alliance Leader, have you reached the Ninth Stage ¡®Law of Heaven and Earth¡¯ in your law comprehension?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Ninth Stage Law of Heaven and Earth? Lant Semi-Divine was also quite curious.


    He knew he was only a witness and that his talent was not comparable to the three individuals present.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Fang Hai, you must have the same doubts, right?¡±


    Fang Hai nodded. He was well aware of the classification of law comprehension and was naturally curious about the realm his teacher had reached now.


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s sword had directly eradicated the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    Its might was indeed terrifying.


    ¡°I have only reached the Eighth Stage High Rank in the Law of Metal,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled. ¡°However, I had concentrated on the True Intention of Space quite early¡­ The combination of Metal and Space laws makes my swordsmanship extremely powerful.¡±


    ¡°And with the addition of an Origin Divine Artifact.¡±


    ¡°That is why my swordsmanship has such might.¡±


    Li Yuan was astounded.


    Concentrated on True Intention of Space so early?


    The mystery of space equates to the Seventh Stage level, while space¡¯s true intention is akin to the Eighth Stage level of basic laws.


    Instantly, Li Yuan remembered his first meeting with Dongfang Ji, feeling as though the latter existed in another world.


    Moreover, Li Yuan¡¯s earliest choice to combine the paths of Wind and Earth was also strongly supported by Dongfang Ji, who had arranged for Lie Feng Semi-Divine to mentor him, suggesting that ¡®comprehending different laws might achieve higher understanding of the space law.¡¯


    It could be said.


    Although Dongfang Ji hadn¡¯t reached the Ninth Stage ¡®Law of Heaven and Earth,¡¯ the shock he brought to Li Yuan had not diminished much.


    ¡°Secondly,¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°the Origin Power Battle Array, in terms of defense, is relatively weak¡­ If it were a real Pseudo-God, even just a beginner Pseudo-God Powerhouse, with Divine Fire ignited within the body and the divine spirit indestructible, I think killing with one sword would be difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai both felt quite emotional in their hearts.


    The strength Dongfang Ji demonstrated was indeed frightful, and yet he was only a Pseudo-God after all.


    Suddenly.


    A thought struck Li Yuan, and he executed ¡®Divine Palace Exploration,¡¯ a formless fluctuation swept across Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°[Target Life Level: 48.9]¡± Li Yuan received the feedback, and was startled.


    As expected!!


    Dongfang Ji was indeed of Eight Star Veins¡­ In Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, without such strong star veins and basic strength, the powerful star techniques and swordsmanship might not have been so terrifying.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°As Dongfang Alliance Leader mentioned, when he was at the Second Rank, he had the Six Star Pulse. So, should he have the Seven Star Veins at the Third Rank and achieve the Eight Star Veins when he became a Demigod?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind was filled with numerous thoughts. ¡°A Demigod with Eight Star Veins¡­ Even in the Divine Realm, that would be considered monstrously talented.¡±


    The foundational Star Meridians and the Law Talent are the two most crucial aspects for a Cultivator.


    And in whichever aspect, Dongfang Ji¡¯s displayed prowess was already exceptionally notable.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Fang Hai,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°due to my arrangements, you both have already used one Law Treasure each, I will gift each of you another one.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the attributes of the Law Treasure I obtained do not match yours, its might when manipulated will definitely be weaker.¡±


    Huh! Huh!


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand, and two small swords emitting a hazy golden light had already flown and landed in front of Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    ¡°Alliance Leader, you¡­¡± Li Yuan had just begun to speak.


    ¡°Hold onto it. These kinds of Law Treasures are useless for me, as my own strength already surpasses the might these treasures can unleash,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and said, ¡°What should I do, exchange them for Divine Crystals? Pointless!¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan and Fang Hai obediently picked up the golden small swords, briefly refined them, and then stored them away.


    With Fang Hai¡¯s strength, in reality, the use of this type of Law Treasure wasn¡¯t that significant.


    But it was crucial for Li Yuan, especially when facing Semi-Divine Limit Experts, it counted as possessing a significant lethal weapon.


    Huh!


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand again, delivering several hundred Storage Treasures directly towards Fang Hai.


    ¡°These are the gains from those Demigods I killed, the useful ones I¡¯ve already taken,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°The rest of these items can be directly placed into the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Fang Hai nodded, directly accepting these treasures.


    He was not surprised, most of the treasures in the Seven Stars Treasury had also been placed there by Dongfang Ji previously.


    Now, there were hundreds of Demigod¡¯s relics added.


    It could be said that the foundation of the Seven Stars Treasury had risen another major layer, and for a very long time to come, they need not worry about Demi-Artifacts or Divine Artifacts again.


    Nurturing the youth would also become more relaxed.


    ¡°Besides this.¡±


    ¡°The largest gain from this time is actually this Origin Power Battle Array,¡± Dongfang Ji waved his hand again, and immediately, a vast number of fiery red scales appeared in the void.


    Hundreds of them.


    These fiery red scales surrounded a fiery red Battle Armor, like Little Ice surrounding a general, vaguely forming a whole, exuding a rich fluctuation of the Fire Law.


    ¡°Is this the Origin Power Battle Array forming that Heavenly Fire Realm Beast?¡± Fang Hai asked curiously.


    ¡°That Battle Armor is the core, the other scales are supplementary,¡± Liu Bing, who had been listening by the side, suddenly spoke up, her voice clear: ¡°If other fiery red scales were lost, they could be remanufactured according to the mysteries of the Battle Armor¡¯s origin¡­ but if the Battle Armor were lost, it would be impossible to form a complete battle array.¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the origin of this Battle Armor should contain a technique known as ¡®Heavenly Fire World Beast Transformation Method,''¡± Liu Bing said.


    ¡°Respect to the Heaven Snake, a natural Divine Beast, indeed your insight is high,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed and said, ¡°You¡¯re all correct.¡±


    ¡°This Battle Armor, itself, is only a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact¡­ but being able to form a complete ¡®Eight Directions Fire Realm Array,¡¯ its value is comparable to a True God Instrument,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°It is sufficient to become another treasure of utmost importance for our Seven Star Civilization, of course¡­ it would require the birth of enough Demigods to exhibit its intended effect.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    The might of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast was witnessed by all¡­ capable of gathering a large number of Demigods and contending against Pseudo-God Powerhouses, such a treasure is indeed incredibly valuable.


    ¡°This treasure, Fang Hai, you keep it under guard by Yun,¡± commanded Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± both Fang Hai and the Phantom of Yun nodded.


    ¡°I need you all to penetrate its origin and see if you can find out whence it came,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°This battle array is highly likely not from the Myriad Demons Civilization, otherwise it would have been used more than a hundred years ago, there would be no need to wait until today.¡±


    ¡°Whence?¡±


    Everyone present tried one by one, but Lant Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and Liu Bing could not discover much of the secret; only recognizing it as a familiar battle array treasure.


    ¡°The Divine Artifact¡¯s origin,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, Origin Power enveloped and surged into the Battle Armor¡¯s interior, sensing its primal aura.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered, sensing a familiar aura, almost as if he had seen it somewhere.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Alliance Leader, please wait a moment.¡±


    ¡°I think, I know the origin of this Origin Power Battle Array, but I am not entirely certain,¡± Li Yuan flipped his hand.


    In his palm appeared a token, entirely red as if made of fresh blood, with special symbolic text engraved on the front.


    On the back, a Divine Palace was engraved.


    ¡°This is?¡± Dongfang Ji reached out and grabbed the token. In the next instant, the token burst into a dazzling red glow, emitting waves of profound fluctuations.


    ¡°Indeed, if only observing the Heavenly Fire World Beast might not reveal it, but sensing the Divine Artifacts and Battle Armor¡¯s primal core,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes gleamed. ¡°These two are of the same origin.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Where did you get this token from?¡± Dongfang Ji looked towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°When I ventured into the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, I once killed a genius of the Immortal Ruins Civilization and obtained this token; at that time, I also asked the Alliance for assistance in investigating it,¡± Li Yuan said. (Chapter 257)


    ¡°Chi Yan Deity?¡± Fang Hai instantly remembered, having helped with the investigation back then.


    ¡°Chi Yan Deity, a deity from the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, born tens of thousands of years ago,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Chi Yan Deity used to be part of the opposing camp against the Ancient Torch Deity, a detail Li Yuan distinctly remembered.


    ¡°Immortal Ruins Civilization?¡±


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes slightly narrowed: ¡°That makes sense, able to bring out an Origin Power Battle Array that had never appeared in the Mortal Domain, except me and¡­ only the Immortal Ruins Civilization connected with the Wandao Divine Court could.¡±


    ¡°Wandao Divine Court?¡± A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    In the materials provided by Qiu Bingzun, many Divine Realm powers were mentioned, such as the Chaos Divine Court, Wandao Divine Court¡­ Those who dared to claim the title of Divine Court were all top-tier major powers in the Divine Realm.

 Chapter 738 - 393: The Secret of the Plane! True Gods Reaction

    Chapter 738: Chapter 393: The Secret of the Plane! True God¡¯s Reaction


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, to actually be tied up with one of the top forces of the Wandao Divine Court in the Divine Realm?


    ¡°Alliance Leader.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°What is the relationship between the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Wandao Divine Court?¡±


    ¡°You should know that in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, not just one True God had emerged, even in this era, I suspect there is still the presence of a True God overseeing it.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°but we have never found definitive evidence.¡±


    Everyone present was astonished.


    ¡°So many Divine beings had emerged, the Immortal Ruins Civilization has profound depths, many of their ancestors set off for the Divine Realm, as far as I know, many have joined the Wandao Divine Court.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Generation after generation, they also had a considerable foundation within the Wandao Divine Court.¡±


    ¡°Take the widely known ¡®Void Qianyuan Formation¡¯ from the Mortal Domain, it was the Divine ancestors from the Immortal Ruins Civilization who took some opportunities to send it back.¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A cold voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    It was Gu You¡¯s voice.


    Li Yuan had initially refined the Ancient Divine Palace, akin to his Magical Treasure, and Gu You was communicating with him through the origin of the Divine Artifact, even Dongfang Ji didn¡¯t notice it.


    ¡°Sis, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Yuan responded.


    ¡°Because of your weak strength before, I didn¡¯t tell you many things as I was unsure how far you could go, I didn¡¯t want to pressure you,¡± Gu You conveyed, ¡°there was a war of gods ten thousand years ago, many Divine beings fell.¡±


    ¡°In the battle when the True Phoenix Divine fled, there were indeed powerhouses from the Wandao Divine Court fighting alongside our father.¡±


    ¡°At that time, both father and I thought it was a temporary alliance between the powerhouses of the Wandao Divine Court and some native Divine beings.¡± S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°However, from the words of Dongfang Alliance Leader, those native Divine beings who fought against our father, might have been from the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    ¡°They had an early connection, that¡¯s why they could trust each other.¡± Gu You¡¯s voice carried a hint of hatred, ¡°Not long after I left with True Phoenix Divine, father¡¯s Soul Lamp extinguished.¡±


    ¡°Father, likely fell at their hands.¡± Gu You¡¯s killing intent was undisguised.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Did the Divine of Immortal Ruins, in collaboration with the Divine that descended from the Wandao Divine Court, jointly kill the Ancient Torch Divine?


    No wonder Gu You harbored such hatred.


    Through the long periods of interaction, Li Yuan could clearly feel Gu You¡¯s sentiments towards Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Sis, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely avenge the Master,¡± Li Yuan responded.


    This was a promise made by Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan had never met Ancient Torch Divine, and didn¡¯t have much emotional attachment, but having pledged discipleship and received the grace of his teachings¡­ naturally, Li Yuan was obligated to repay this.


    ¡°Not in a hurry!¡±


    ¡°Once you Ascend to God, you can slowly plan then,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice also calmed down, ¡°father is already dead, the most important thing is for you to stay alive.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°In the coming period before I leave, I will do my best to clear this matter up,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°but for now, don¡¯t reveal anything, just act as if you¡¯re unaware.¡±


    ¡°The power of the Immortal Ruins Civilization is enormous, with over ten thousand Demigod powerhouses, just the apparent Pseudo-God powerhouses are over twenty,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°As I am about to depart, there¡¯s no need for you to provoke hostilities with them.¡±


    Demigod powerhouses over ten thousand? Nearly twenty Pseudo-Gods?


    Everyone present was shocked, what a massive force this was!


    Ten times that of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    And this was just the number of known powerhouses, no wonder they dared claim to be the largest force in the Mortal Domain, even overshadowing the Crimson Sun Civilization and the Myriad Dawn Civilization in terms of momentum.


    ¡°Teacher, why does the Immortal Ruins Civilization have so many Demigods and Pseudo-Gods?¡± Fang Hai wondered, ¡°Because of the territory?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°this isn¡¯t really a secret, it¡¯s okay to tell you, have you noticed that powerful civilizations that have birthed True Gods possess far more Life Planets than normal civilizations?¡±


    Everyone present nodded involuntarily; if they checked various databases, this information was almost public.


    Civilizations like Tianliang Civilization only had one or a few Life Planets.


    Seven Star Civilization, with seven Life Planets, was already considered to have a relatively high number of Life Planets.


    But civilizations like the Myriad Demons Civilization that had birthed True Gods, possessed dozens of Life Planets¡­ the number of Life Planets of Immortal Ruins Civilization was even more, amassing hundreds.


    ¡°To Ascend to God, you must at least comprehend a certain Basic Law of the Great Dao, achieving Eighth Rank Perfection in Law Comprehension, and there is also a requirement to have some understanding of the Mysteries of Space,¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°then, with the help of Divine Fire, you can form the ¡¯embryo of the Law of Heaven and Earth¡¯, condensing Divine Rank between heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Divine Rank, once recognized by heaven and earth, this is a True God,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Everyone present was deep in thought.


    ¡°Eighth Rank Perfect comprehension, that is the True God Level,¡± Li Yuan contemplated inwardly, ¡°Yet Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s comprehension of the Law of Metal has reached the High Rank of Eighth Stage, and he has already condensed the True Intention of Space¡­ isn¡¯t he just one step away from becoming a True God.¡±


    Truly impressive.


    Note that Dongfang Ji has cultivated for less than two hundred years, and he¡¯s very young among Demigods.


    ¡°With Divine Rank, True Gods could gain many Divine Skills bestowed by heaven and earth,¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°One of these Divine Skills being the merging with the origin of the Plane.¡±


    ¡°Thus, they could advance the evolution of the entire Plane.¡±


    ¡°Many barren and Dead Silence Planets would swiftly be transformed to generate life.¡±


    ¡°Normally, for each evolutionary phase of the Plane, anywhere from ten to a hundred Life Planets could be born,¡± Dongfang Ji explained, ¡°then, when the evolution of the Plane reaches its Limit, the Plane¡¯s Origin needs a long period to digest¡­ it could be as short as ten thousand years or as long as one hundred thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Only then can the next evolutionary phase of the Plane begin.¡±

    Chapter 739: Chapter 393: The Secret of the Plane! True God¡¯s Reaction_2


    ¡°The lifespan of a True God is only thirty thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, countless civilizations in the Mortal Domain, if a True God rises, can usually evolve the plane once, and if lucky, even twice,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°like the Immortal Ruins Civilization that bore numerous True Gods¡­ The more times a plane evolves, the greater the number of Life Planets it has, and the deeper its origins.¡±


    Fang Hai and Lant Semi-Divine were quite shocked.


    Li Yuan, however, was much calmer, as these pieces of information were not secrets in the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm differed from the Mortal Domain not fundamentally but was of a higher order and broader extent, yet some operational logic remained unchanged.


    Dimensional Planes, each one immensely vast, held planets that occupied a very small part of that spatial plane, yet they were the essence within the essence.


    And Life Planets were the essence of essences.


    ...


    In any Dimensional Plane, besides maintaining its own operation, the majority of the Plane¡¯s Origin Power was used to nurture life.


    If the Origin Power of the Plane was powerful, it would give birth to more Life Planets, and in turn, give birth to more life¡­ A civilization with more beings naturally gives rise to more strong individuals, more Semi-Divine, Pseudo-Gods, and even True Gods.


    And a True God could merge with the Plane¡¯s Origin Power to help further strengthen it.


    This was a virtuous cycle.


    ¡°External Dimensional Star Realms are all formed dependent on different Dimensional Planes. The essence of Star Realms is weak, bearing life of generally weak potential, which involves the fundamental composition of life,¡± Li Yuan sighed silently, ¡°Therefore, whether it¡¯s civilizations in the Mortal Domain or some in the Divine Realm, they don¡¯t deliberately proliferate life massively within Star Realms!¡±


    ¡°The most pivotal focus is always the Life Planets.¡±


    Star Realms, unless they were of very high-level, often only set up Breeding Areas as ¡®population seeds¡¯ to prevent civilizations from suffering cataclysmic defeats.


    ¡­


    ¡°The evolution of a Plane also has its limits; it cannot go beyond,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly stated, ¡°But even the Immortal Ruins Civilization has less than four hundred Life Planets¡­ far from reaching the carrying limit of the Plane.¡±


    ¡°The growth of a civilization, the evolution of a Plane, also encounters many disasters¡­ such as invasions by Alien Races, Divine beings destroying planets.¡±


    ¡°Such as civil wars.¡±


    ¡°And such as more than ten thousand years ago, when the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain shook, destroying the previous civilization of this plane¡­ Thousands of years later, after the plane recovered, we had our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°In short, my Seven Star Civilization is still very weak; it has misfortunes, but also fortunes.¡±


    ¡°The key lies in the people.¡±


    ¡°If generation after generation of strong individuals seize opportunities, my Seven Star Civilization has hope of surpassing the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said somberly, ¡°But if they lack initiative, aren¡¯t diligent enough¡­ the end might also be very tragic.¡±


    Everyone present shuddered.


    ¡°Lant Senior, Li Yuan and Fang Hai are still young, they need your side assistance,¡± Dongfang Ji changed his tone, ¡°I have also left a gift for you, which I will have Xiao Yun pass to you later¡­ it might be of help.¡±


    ¡°I hope that when I return, you will have achieved Pseudo-God,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Then, we can still share a drink together.¡±


    Dongfang Ji held great respect for Senior Lant.


    ¡°Haha, Dongfang, then I¡¯ll take your word for it,¡± Lant Semi-Divine laughed, ¡°Li Yuan and Fang Hai are both excellent; I believe they can lead the civilization well. I will also do my best, though becoming a Pseudo-God¡­ the hopes are slim, but I will definitely try hard.¡±


    ¡°Senior, you have only cultivated for a few hundred years and are far from the end of your lifespan, there ultimately is hope,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Lant Semi-Divine nodded. He was also a Semi-Divine Peak Expert and naturally harbored thoughts of ascending to God.


    A lifespan of five thousand years!


    Who wouldn¡¯t yearn for that?


    ¡°Li Yuan, you have received many opportunities already; I have nothing material to give you,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°so I¡¯ll give you some advice instead.¡±


    ¡°Advice?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Whoosh! sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand, and a dark red Crystal Stone fell in front of Li Yuan, hovering.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°This is set according to the characteristics of your Origin Power; open it when you become Semi-Divine,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Don¡¯t try to open it now; it will self-destruct¡­¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan stored the dark red Crystal Stone away.


    Semi-Divine?


    ¡°Li Yuan, Senior Lant, you both leave first,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°I have some words to speak privately with Fang Hai.¡±


    Li Yuan bowed respectfully and immediately, taking Liu Bing, shot into the sky and quickly vanished.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Big brother, where are we going?¡± Liu Bing asked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°In the coming time, once your strength advances further, we¡¯ll prepare to venture into the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Liu¡¯s eyes brightened.


    Then, Liu couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Big brother, why do you seem unhappy? We won the battle, and the Dongfang Alliance Leader ¡®came back to life¡¯; shouldn¡¯t you be happy?¡±


    ¡°We won.¡±


    ¡°But many people within our civilization also died,¡± Li Yuan sighed, ¡°And soon, the Alliance Leader will truly leave¡­ I don¡¯t know if there will be another chance to meet him after Dongfang Alliance Leader leaves.¡±


    Liu Bing listened, unable to understand Li Yuan¡¯s feelings towards Dongfang Ji¡­ In her view, Li Yuan and Dongfang Ji seemed not to have interacted much, hardly enough to speak of deep feelings.


    ¡­


    Outside the Demon Mountain Star Realm Passage, only Fang Hai and Dongfang Ji were left.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    ¡°Where you are going, is it really somewhere?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Some things could only be discussed between them.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°but it¡¯s not just a simple departure, it¡¯s rather complicated.¡±


    ¡°What the future holds, I cannot predict,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Fang Hai voiced his concern, ¡°Teacher, will there be danger?¡±


    ¡°Silly boy, in the path of cultivation, is there ever no danger?¡± Dongfang Ji laughed, ¡°Haven¡¯t you also faced many hardships while venturing through the Nine Leaves World?¡±

    ¡°You also know that ¡®Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡¯ is merely the foundation; this path is a significant opportunity but even riskier and unpredictable.¡±


    Fang Hai nodded slightly.


    ¡°However, looking at it now, it seems we might have to inconvenience you, delaying your journey to ¡®Ninth Mountain¡¯ in the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    ¡°Wherefore such words, teacher?¡± Fang Hai shook his head and said, ¡°The teacher has already delayed for decades for the sake of civilization, and it cannot continue to be postponed¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s growth is incredibly fast, already terrifying in strength before even becoming Semi-Divine, once he enters the Nine Leaves World, and after achieving Semi-Divine status, he is sure to become a Golden Garment even faster than I.¡±


    ¡°It is most suitable for Li Yuan to walk the path you have laid out, teacher.¡±


    ¡°On the other hand, for me to possess the strength to traverse the Nine Mountains, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll need to spend a few more decades in concealed cultivation, without any absolute certainty of success,¡± Fang Hai laughed and said, ¡°Teacher, you have guarded our civilization for a century.¡±


    ...


    ¡°It is my turn, why not?¡±


    ¡°Even if I have to cultivate in the Mortal Domain long-term, it¡¯s not impossible to awaken my Eight Star Veins, isn¡¯t that what you did, teacher?¡± Fang Hai smiled and said, ¡°I have always aimed to emulate you, teacher.¡±


    Dongfang Ji sighed inwardly, patted Fang Hai¡¯s shoulder, and said no more.


    He knew that it wasn¡¯t because Fang Hai wasn¡¯t excellent.


    Even in the Divine Realm, Fang Hai would be considered a top genius, qualifying to enter the core echelons of many powerful forces.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s rate of growth was just too exaggerated, especially his ¡®Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡¯, which could be described as unbelievable¡­the current situation of the Seven Star Civilization also did not allow for both Li Yuan and Fang Hai to depart at the same time in the future.


    For the continuation of civilization, someone had to make a sacrifice.


    And whether it was Dongfang Ji or Fang Hai, the choice they made was the same¡ªFang Hai would stay behind. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The battle between Myriad Demons Civilization and Seven Star Civilization.


    Myriad Demons Civilization did not spread the news.


    But with the fall of hundreds of Semi-Divine beings, what a devastating defeat it was, and the friends, family, and disciples of these Semi-Divine beings, when added together, was an astonishing number¡­ these people would naturally seek information and inquire.


    Secondly, Seven Star Civilization would not conceal the news; on the contrary, to deter some Alien Civilizations lurking in the shadows, Seven Star Civilization, on one hand, was spreading the news widely.


    Thus, in less than a day, the news of Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s renewed catastrophic defeat had quickly spread from both Myriad Demons Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization, becoming known to many powerful civilizations within the Mortal Domain.


    ¡°I heard that in this battle, Myriad Demons Civilization has lost more than seven hundred Semi-Divine beings.¡±


    ¡°That many?¡±


    ¡°How many Semi-Divine beings do we have in our entire civilization? Seven Star Civilization is just too strong.¡±


    ¡°Indeed they are powerful.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve got some intel that suggests Myriad Demons Civilization used an Origin Power Battle Array this time and even a Sha Kun Semi-Divine who has reached Pseudo-God Level in Law Comprehension¡­it still ended in complete destruction.¡±


    ¡°How exactly did Seven Star Civilization fight?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not clear.¡±


    ¡°They say Dongfang Ji took action.¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t there news before that Dongfang Ji had fallen? Could it be that Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead?¡±


    ¡°Maybe it was all a trap to get Myriad Demons Civilization hooked.¡± Many civilizations in the Mortal Domain exchanged and debated, their intelligence networks enabling them to know the general situation.


    But more specific intelligence?


    For instance, the true combat power of the army dispatched by Myriad Demons Civilization, what powers did Dongfang Ji unleash? The specific details of the battle remained a mystery.


    After all, spies planted by various civilizations were primarily Prime Warriors, with fewer at the Flying Heaven Level, making it difficult to investigate in such detail.


    Regardless.


    After this battle, in the hearts of many civilizations in the Mortal Domain, the prestige of Seven Star Civilization became even more formidable, far surpassing that of the past and truly comparable to Myriad Demons Civilization and many other first-rate civilization forces.


    Dongfang Ji was now regarded as a ¡®force not to be provoked, tantamount to a Pseudo-God,¡¯ an almighty existence.


    And beneath the brilliance of Dongfang Ji, whether it was Fang Hai breaking through to ¡®Invincible Semi-Divine¡¯ or Li Yuan unleashing Semi-Divine Peak strength, both seemed less dazzling.


    ¡­


    ¡°Make concessions.¡±


    ¡°Send a message to Seven Star Civilization immediately, we are willing to concede and give up several territories bordering the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°We once invaded Seven Star Civilization and are willing to apologize.¡±


    ¡°We agree to the treaty terms negotiated last time.¡± Many civilizations bordering Seven Star Civilization, after this battle, have changed their attitudes and are now immediately contacting Seven Star Civilization, hoping to end the conflict and war completely.


    ¡­


    Many civilizations discussed the matter.


    But aside from the civilizations involved in the battle, the one who paid the most attention was undoubtedly Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, Nine Clouds Sect, within a luxurious hall in the Nine Clouds Realm.


    A multitude of rays converged, forming a figure emitting a destructive aura.


    ¡°East Demon, what exactly did you encounter? How could your entire army be annihilated?¡±


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you saying that Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s Law Comprehension had reached Pseudo-God Level, commanding the Origin Power Battle Array, how could you possibly lose?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God directly asked, ¡°Even if Dongfang Ji truly survived and his powers defy heaven, at most he could suppress the Origin Power Battle Array, right?¡±


    After Yan Lin Pseudo-God gathered the rough details from various channels, his heart was both shocked that Dongfang Ji was still alive and even more shocked by the end of the war.


    A single battle resulted in a loss of over seven hundred Semi-Divines?


    Even a power such as the Immortal Ruins Civilization would be unwilling to bear such losses.


    ¡°The news spread by the Seven Star Civilization is mostly true,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity sighed lightly, ¡°We indeed lost, and lost miserably¡­ Even the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array has been lost, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°The agreement we made before, I can no longer fulfill,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°The treasures I pledged to you previously need not be returned to me.¡±


    Both parties had made Law oaths, and the Eastern Demon Deity, as the leader of the Myriad Demons Civilization, was quite proud and naturally wouldn¡¯t act shamelessly.


    ¡°What about Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°Why is he so strong? What exactly happened in the battle?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God pressed urgently, ¡°Has Dongfang Ji become a Pseudo-God?¡±


    He was eager to know how Dongfang Ji defeated the Origin Power Battle Array. If Dongfang Ji had indeed become a Pseudo-God, such a result wouldn¡¯t be surprising.


    ¡°There is nothing to tell,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    ¡°Eastern Demon!¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God instantly became furious, ¡°We were allies in this war, and yet you refuse to tell me? Don¡¯t forget, it was you who came to us for help, and we handed over the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array to you.¡±


    ¡°It was just cooperation,¡± replied the Eastern Demon Deity, shaking his head.


    ¡°Yan Lin.¡±


    ¡°Our alliance was formed with the purpose of capturing the treasures of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity looked at him, ¡°Now, since we can no longer invade the Seven Star Civilization¡­ our covenant naturally becomes invalid. The detailed strength information of Dongfang Ji and other Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Civilization was bought with the lives of hundreds of our Semi-Divines.¡±


    ¡°It cannot be given to you for free.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was taken aback but quickly calmed down, staring at the other party, ¡°Speak, what do you want?¡±


    He must obtain the detailed information about the Seven Star Civilization.


    Otherwise, Yan Lin Pseudo-God would feel uneasy.


    ¡°My requirements are not high,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity, ¡°I need two ¡®Fire System True God Cultivation Insights.¡¯ This should not be difficult for your Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    ¡°True God Cultivation Insights?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God¡¯s gaze narrowed slightly.


    This item was extremely valuable, and most civilizations in the Mortal Domain did not possess it¡­ but it was not too high a cost either, because cultivation insights could be copied endlessly, meaning his own civilization wasn¡¯t really losing anything.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God did not answer right away, bowing his head as if deep in thought, or perhaps communicating with other high-level members of his civilization.


    The Eastern Demon Deity patiently waited.


    After a while.


    ¡°Alright, I can agree to your terms,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said solemnly, ¡°But I hope the information you provide is of sufficient value.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, you will not be disappointed,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    Time passed.


    The two of them made Law oaths. Yan Lin Pseudo-God handed over two ¡®True God Cultivation Insights.¡¯


    Only then did the Eastern Demon Deity begin to relate the detailed information.


    Like through combat simulations, the detailed strength information about Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and others was fully disclosed by the Eastern Demon Deity without reservation.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God listened with constant shock, particularly when he heard about Dongfang Ji¡¯s sword destroying the Origin Power Battle Array, his heart trembled.


    Such power was indeed too exaggerated.


    If a Semi-Divine was this strong, upon breaking through to Pseudo-God, wouldn¡¯t he be comparable to a True God with a Pseudo-God¡¯s body in the future?


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°This is all the information known by my Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°I can also assure you that we have not leaked the origin of the Origin Power Battle Array.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s form dissipated. For him, after such a devastating defeat and with Dongfang Ji terrifyingly strong, there was only one path left¡ªBecoming a True God!


    Only by becoming a True God and hiding within the Dimensional Plane could the Eastern Demon Deity feel at ease.


    This was also why he requested the two cultivation insights.


    ¡°How can these people of the Seven Star Civilization be so strong?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head in secret, ¡°Time to report to the True God.¡±


    With one step, he quickly arrived at the highest point in the Nine Clouds Realm.


    ¡­under the dark night sky.


    ¡°True God, the detailed information is as follows. I believe that the Eastern Demon Deity has lost the courage to continue warring with the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God reported respectfully.


    He had just recounted the entire situation to Chi Yan True God.


    ¡°Contact the Seven Star Civilization immediately,¡± the fiery figure¡¯s voice echoed through heaven and earth, ¡°Prepare a generous gift.¡±


    ¡°To apologize to them, to resolve grudges.¡±

 Chapter 741 - 394: Two Years Later

    Chapter 741: Chapter 394: Two Years Later


    ¡°If our prior estimates were correct, the Myriad Demons Civilization would not have been defeated so miserably as it is now,¡± the phantom shrouded in flames spoke slowly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to pay attention to the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God appeared thoughtful.


    ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization had merely retreated without losing the Origin Power Battle Array, it would not be a problem. After all, one can¡¯t discern the origins of the Origin Power Battle Array just by its appearance,¡± Chi Yan True God said. ¡°There are not a few forces that could bring forth such a battle array. Any civilization that has produced True Gods could be a suspect; our Immortal Ruins Civilization would just be the most likely.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, it is not our Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s most famous ¡®Void Qianyuan Formation¡¯,¡± Chi Yan True God continued.


    ¡°But now, the Origin Power Battle Array is lost.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji will undoubtedly conduct a thorough examination of the core of the battle array. Given his strength and realm, he will surely uncover many clues. This Eight Directions Fire Realm Array was forged by me at great cost and effort¡­ Over these ten thousand years, I have also forged numerous divine artifacts and treasures for the civilization, many of which have been lost or leaked¡­ The methods of forging them share common traits,¡± Chi Yan True God said. ¡°Given time, Dongfang Ji will likely trace it back.¡±


    ...


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God suddenly understood.


    If the battle array hadn¡¯t been lost, the problem wouldn¡¯t have been significant.


    But the key issue was that the Origin Power War God had fallen into Dongfang Ji¡¯s hands, and they could no longer ignore it.


    ¡°This battle.¡±


    ¡°The strength that Dongfang Ji displayed is terribly formidable, and his chances of becoming a True God in the future are almost a surety, with even a sliver of possibility to surpass the position of a True God,¡± Chi Yan True God sighed.


    Surpassing a True God?


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God felt his heart tighten and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°True Gods, the legendary Heavenly Divines¡­ It seems our Mortal Domain has never witnessed their birth, has it?¡± S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°To be precise, none have emerged in the recent millions of years,¡± Chi Yan True God said. ¡°As for ancient history further back¡­ it¡¯s beyond the scope of history known by our civilization. Who knows?¡±


    ¡°In history, the Mortal Domain may or may not have produced Heavenly Divines, but that¡¯s irrelevant to us now.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God nodded in agreement.


    Even the Heavenly Divines had a lifespan of only three hundred thousand years; what exactly transpired during the ancient times millions of years ago remains a mystery.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°And Fang Hai, Li Yuan, all have great hopes of becoming True Gods. If it¡¯s as I predict, the future Seven Star Civilization will have three True Gods,¡± Chi Yan True God said. ¡°In the long era ahead, the Mortal Domain will revere the Seven Star Civilization, surpassing us, the Crimson Sun Civilization, and the Myriad Dawn Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Even if the Seven Star Civilization cannot shake us, we have no need to establish such a formidable enemy.¡±


    ¡°After all, if our civilization wishes to produce more Pseudo-Gods and True Gods, it requires the Demigods to venture and grind in the starry sky,¡± Chi Yan True God said. ¡°If we constantly face the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s sniping, it will also be very troublesome.¡±


    ¡°The True Gods plot far into the future,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said sincerely.


    The birth of a powerhouse requires an environment.


    Like the Immortal Ruins Civilization, which is sufficiently vast internally, it can provide plenty of grinding environments for a powerhouse to grow from a First Rank Life to a Flying Heaven Warrior, and even to a Demigod.


    But to become a Pseudo-God?


    Staying within the confines of one¡¯s own civilization is far from enough.


    One must travel along the Plane Passage, leave the Dimensional Plane, and head into the deeper parts of the starry sky to the dangerous and treasured locations¡ªfight with other civilizations¡¯ powerhouses, grind oneself in life-and-death situations¡­ to harbor the hope of Ascending to God.


    In the Mortal Domain, where precious Heavenly Divines are rarely born over the long ages, one significant reason, besides the scarcity of precious resources, is the environment is just too small.


    Shallow waters cannot raise a dragon, and for the most part, the extreme danger zones of the Mortal Domain have little significance for True Gods and do not provide the necessary grinding.


    ¡°Go and make the arrangements,¡± Chi Yan Divine said.


    ¡°Remember, there¡¯s no need to disclose my existence. Act in your name.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said respectfully.


    ¡­


    Blue Star, River City of Xia Country.


    In the void.


    ¡°Big brother, is this where you lived when you were younger?¡± Liu Bing, who was wrapped around Li Yuan¡¯s arm, stretched her neck to look down at the bustling city below.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve only passed by before, that¡¯s why you¡¯re not familiar with it,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°This time, I¡¯ve specially come back to visit my teacher.¡±


    Liu Bing, who had followed him out of the Ming Xu Star Realm, had mostly stayed in Feixing after returning to Blue Star, or at Kunlun Martial University.


    With no family in Jiang City, Li Yuan naturally seldom returned.


    ¡°Your teacher?¡± Liu Bing was curious; she knew that Li Yuan had several teachers.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, carrying Liu Bing and concealing their presence, with the light around them distorting, quickly arrived at the southern end of Guan Mountain District, to a special cemetery¡ªHeroes¡¯ Mausoleum.


    He approached a gravestone, the very one Xu Bo had intended to visit.


    ¡°Your teacher passed away?¡± Liu Bing was surprised and fell silent.


    That¡¯s because Li Yuan had already taken out several bottles of wine and a bunch of flowers and placed them in front of the gravestone.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve been staying in Feixing these past years and haven¡¯t come to see you much. But don¡¯t worry, everything at home is fine. Xu Ling, I have taken good care of him too. He has become a Foundation Establishing Warrior. In the future, I will definitely help him strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­¡± Li Yuan murmured, opening a bottle of wine and pouring it onto the stone steps.


    The mausoleum was clean.


    Under the glow of the setting sun, the mausoleum looked even more solemn.


    After a long while,


    Li Yuan finally left with Liu Bing, flying over the city as evening approached, the beautiful night lights of the city unfolded below them.


    Jiang City, as a Core City, had an advanced monitoring system, yet it could not detect Li Yuan¡¯s presence. He deliberately slowed down to gaze at several familiar streets below.


    ¡°Looking at it, it seems this great battle did not affect Jiang City,¡± Liu Bing said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. The fierce battle between the two great civilizations had involved countless Flying Heaven Realm beings invading numerous planets. Blue Star was minimally affected.


    It was mainly because Blue Star had only one Third Level Star Realm, and he had left behind eight hundred Soaring Sky Peak Puppets, most of the Flying Heaven Alien Race being slaughtered as soon as they burst out of the Wanhan Star Realm.

    ¡°`


    Secondly, when Li Yuan and Liu Bing were rescuing many planets, the first one Li Yuan rushed to assist was Blue Star.


    The man and the beast were chatting.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°What is it?¡± Liu Bing asked curiously.


    ¡°The principal is looking for me, contacting me through the virtual network, seems like there¡¯s some urgent matter,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ...


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch Fang Hai? Then big brother, you should go quickly,¡± Liu Bing responded in succession.


    ¡­


    In the virtual network, within the Starfire Realm amidst the vast universe, stood only that one palace radiating endless flames.


    Li Yuan quickly arrived deep within the palace.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯ve arrived,¡± Fang Hai said, as he and Dongfang Ji had already been waiting there.


    ¡°Principal, Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan greeted, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°just that the ¡®Yan Lin Pseudo-God¡¯ from the Immortal Ruins Civilization sought us out, and he admitted voluntarily that the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array used by the Myriad Demons Civilization originated from the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yan Lin Pseudo-God? The ruler of the Nine Clouds Sect?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    After becoming the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Stars, Li Yuan could access all data and intelligence within the civilization, including considerable information about the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization had three Great Sects and numerous Divine Kingdoms.


    The Nine Clouds Sect was one of the three Great Sects of the Immortal Ruins Civilization and currently the most powerful sect. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Being the contemporary sect master, the ¡®Yan Lin Pseudo-God¡¯, in some sense, held a status close to the leader of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him,¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°According to his explanation, the Eastern Demon Deity traded a True God Instrument with them¡­ True God Instruments, they are exceedingly rare in the Mortal Domain, so they agreed to the trade.¡±


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai both nodded in understanding.


    Both their horizons were not ordinary; the value of a Pseudo-God Artifact ranged from a dozen to over a thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    But a True God Instrument, even the most common type, would be worth over a hundred thousand Divine Crystals in the Divine Realm.


    In the Mortal Domain? It was even harder to obtain!


    This was because the vast majority of True Gods were incapable of creating True God Instruments.


    The True God Instruments in the Mortal Domain were mostly brought down by Divine Realm experts when they descended.


    Like this time, the Seven Star Civilization had slain several hundred Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization; excluding the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array, all other gains combined were valued at just over ten thousand Divine Crystals.


    After all, not every civilization was as extravagant as the Seven Star Civilization, capable of arming each Demigod with several Divine Artifacts.


    Most of the Demigods at the Initial Rank from the Myriad Demons Civilization didn¡¯t even possess a Divine Artifact.


    And the complete Eight Directions Fire Realm Array, its high value, according to Li Yuan¡¯s estimate, could be worth tens of thousands of Divine Crystals, close to the most ordinary True God Instrument.


    ¡°Bullshit!¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization only ever produced one True God, a True God Instrument? Even if they had one, I suspect at most one or two pieces, or even none at all, would they be willing to trade it for the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°Teacher, Yan Lin¡¯s words are not credible.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, they are not credible,¡± Li Yuan agreed.


    An Origin Power Battle Array, if assembled into a large array, greatly enhances the strength of a Pseudo-God, but the might of formations has its limits; for example, the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array provides little help to a Pseudo-God at the Limit Expert level.


    Whereas for a True God Instrument, it¡¯s something that even True Gods deeply require.


    Dongfang Ji said, ¡°That Yan Lin Pseudo-God has come to apologize and is willing to offer ten Divine Artifacts as an apology gift, hoping that both sides will sign a contract of non-aggression.¡±


    ¡°Do you wish to agree?¡± Dongfang Ji asked with a smile, ¡°I will soon depart, and in the future, it will be you who deal with them.¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s acceptable,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s foundation is not deep enough; we still need to grow stronger.¡±


    ¡°What about you, Li Yuan?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan spoke, ¡°I too would not wish for our civilization to make more formidable enemies¡­ but Alliance Hierarch, you know that I have received the True God Heritage, and among those enemies of that True God are included Divine figures like the Chi Yan Divine Being, and even a large number of Deities from the Immortal Ruins Civilization lineage.¡±


    ¡°I have made a Law oath for revenge,¡± Li Yuan thought for a moment, but still revealed the truth.


    ¡°No wonder you had me investigate Chi Yan Divine Being, so that¡¯s the case,¡± Fang Hai suddenly understood.


    ¡°A Law oath certainly must be fulfilled,¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°but the war from tens of thousands of years ago, those Pseudo-Gods are probably long dead¡­ the True Gods at the time, likely have already headed to the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Does your Law oath require you to annihilate the Immortal Ruins Civilization?¡± Dongfang Ji inquired.


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    In fact, the Law oath did not specifically require Li Yuan to do anything, and Gu You didn¡¯t force the issue.


    Annihilate the Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    Towards the Immortal Ruins Civilization, Li Yuan did not harbor hatred as he did against the Myriad Demons Civilization, and he had no intention of involving the countless ordinary people of the other civilization.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s not a problem.¡±


    ¡°For now, agree to their terms,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, ¡°if in the future you wish to deal with the Deities of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, it won¡¯t be too late to tear up the agreement.¡±


    ¡°In this world, no treaty is immutable.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod, ¡°It shall all be as the Alliance Hierarch decides.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, these are trivial matters, you becoming strong yourself is what¡¯s most important,¡± Dongfang Ji changed the topic, ¡°By the way, Li Yuan, those twenty Semi-Divine Puppets, once you advance to Semi-Divine, or head to the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, must continue to remain at Heavenly Sea Star and Blue Star, as they are civilization¡¯s defending forces, and cannot be taken away.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Treasures such as Star Technique World, Divine Artifact Chamber, Myriad Gods Heritage Cave and others, after the war, Li Yuan left them all at Feixing.


    ¡°Additionally, it¡¯s been quite some time since the end of the great war, and I¡¯ve already asked Yun Lao to tally the merits,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°The contributions you¡¯ve made are significant, so you¡¯ll be credited with a hundred million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll exchange these points for the corresponding Divine Crystals, and give them to you,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    A hundred million Seven Stars Points equate to a thousand Divine Crystals.


    ¡°A thousand Divine Crystals?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Alliance Hierarch, isn¡¯t that a bit too much?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve slain a large number of the Flying Heaven Alien Race, and the gains have been substantial; they¡¯re mostly of no use to me, and I was thinking of depositing them all in the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 743 - 394: Two Years Later_3

    Chapter 743: Chapter 394: Two Years Later_3


    ¡°Not much.¡±


    ¡°After this battle, just by killing those several hundred semi-divines, the gains have been immense¡­ The Seven Stars Treasury has an extremely large surplus.¡± Fang Hai said with a smile to one side, ¡°As for the numerous Flying Heaven Alien Race members you killed, the treasures you obtained can also be sold to the Seven Stars Treasury. I will exchange some corresponding treasures for you.¡±


    ¡°Actually, teacher is doing this, all in preparation for your entry into the Nine Leaves World.¡± Fang Hai said gravely.


    ¡°Do you need Divine Crystals in the Nine Leaves World?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    The Nine Leaves World was incredibly mysterious, and Li Yuan knew very little about it.


    ¡°Once you become semi-divine, you will have to cultivate many Nine Layers Star Techniques.¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, ¡°At that time, you will need a great number of exotic treasures¡­ Therefore, you should prepare more Divine Crystals now, and you will naturally understand later.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan responded verbally, his mind thoughtful.


    Listening to the Alliance Hierarch and the President¡¯s intentions.


    In the Nine Leaves World, as long as you have Divine Crystals, can you exchange them for a large number of treasures?


    ¡­ Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before long, Li Yuan arrived at Feixing and placed all the treasures from this great battle that he did not need into the Seven Stars Treasury.


    This included the treasures left behind by the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Alien Race members he and Liu Bing had killed, as well as the semi-divine powerhouses killed in the battle of Feixing.


    In the end, with the reward of ¡®one thousand Divine Crystals¡¯, Li Yuan amassed approximately one thousand six hundred Fangshen Crystals.


    Including his own Divine Crystals, Li Yuan¡¯s wealth also reached an astonishing one thousand eight hundred Fangshen Crystals.


    This time, it did not include treasures like the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform, and the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    ¡°In terms of wealth,¡±


    ¡°Excluding the Ancient Divine Palace, placed in the Divine Realm, I should be close to many Pseudo-God powerhouses,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In the Divine Realm, semi-divine powerhouses in the initial and middle ranks typically had wealth ranging from ten to several dozen Fangshen Crystals.


    Semi-divine peak experts usually possessed wealth over a hundred Fangshen Crystals, after all, the powerful earn more, but their expenditure on weapons, Star Technique cultivation, and other cultivation aids, is also greater.


    For instance, how much in cultivation resources had Li Yuan consumed to grow to this point?


    The ¡®Source of Heavenly Wind¡¯ alone was considered a treasured relic even for true gods.


    And for powerhouses at the initial rank of Pseudo-God, a bit of accumulation usually brought their wealth to tens of thousands of Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡­


    Day after day.


    Dongfang Ji did not make another move, which relieved the three divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization a lot, but they still guarded Demon Mountain Star.


    Not having heard the news of Dongfang Ji ascending to godhood, they dared not relax even for a day.


    Because, with just a moment of carelessness, letting Dongfang Ji slip in and ascend to godhood within the Demon Civilization, would spell disaster for them.


    However, they had no idea that Dongfang Ji would not ascend to godhood in the Mortal Domain.


    ¡­The imminent departure of Dongfang Ji was only known by a few core members within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Nevertheless, after this battle, the entire Seven Star Civilization thoroughly stabilized, with no more great upheavals.


    Li Yuan also continued to cultivate earnestly on Blue Star.


    His cultivation of Origin Power had reached its limit, so Li Yuan spent all his time pondering over the Boundary Cloud Spear Technique¡­


    Using Spear Technique as a guide, he then contemplated the Laws of Earth and Wind.


    Only, as both paths entered the Threshold of the Law, the Map of Myriad Stars and Thousand Illusions Formation Map provided less and less aid in his enlightenment.


    Occasionally, Li Yuan would go to Feixing to receive the Martial God Inheritance in the ¡®Myriad Gods Inheritance Cave¡¯.


    This was a privilege he, along with every semi-divine of the Seven Star Civilization, possessed.


    The Martial God Inheritance was essentially ¡®Divine Mark Inheritance¡¯.


    This was Dongfang Ji¡¯s major gain in the Burial Immortal Ancient Land, beneficial for the growth of experts throughout the civilization.


    The Myriad Gods Inheritance Cave played an indispensable role in the rapid birth of so many semi-divines within the Seven Star Civilization.


    The Martial God Inheritance was not very effective for semi-divines, as such divine mark inheritance only captured partial insights from a deity, but for Li Yuan, the effects were still fairly good.


    After all, his Law Comprehension of Earth and Wind was still at the Initial Rank of the Seventh Stage, far from the Pseudo-God Level.


    And where Li Yuan truly progressed rapidly was in the aspect of space.


    In the blink of an eye, two years passed.


    Above Kunlun Martial University, within the void.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Dozens of phantom figures crisscrossed, all with terrifying speed, but upon careful observation, one could discern that most of these figures looked identical, with short black hair, while another figure strikingly resembled a Flying Serpent.


    These dozens of black-haired figures constantly tried to catch the Flying Serpent, but it flickered time and again, its shape became blurred, and its speed was amazingly swift, repeatedly breaking out of the encirclement.


    It was Li Yuan and Liu Bing in the midst of a sparring session.


    After a while, the person and beast stopped.


    ¡°Big brother, how has your movement technique improved so fast?¡± Liu Bing exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s only been two years, and your Phantom Body has become even more elusive. I was almost caught just now.¡±


    ¡°Even though it¡¯s only a Seventh Layers Star Technique, it feels to me no less than a Nine Layers Star Technique,¡± Liu Bing shook her head and said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± was only a Seventh Layer Star Technique, but essentially, a Star Technique was also a secret technique, just one capable of magnifying a fraction of power tenfold.


    He had integrated all his comprehension of the Wind Law and Mysteries of Space into it, thereby increasing the might of this Star Technique even more.


    Thinking of this.


    Li Yuan glanced at a section on the Divine Palace panel: [Skill Realm: Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 36%), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Wood (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Metal (68%), Mysteries of Fire (Fifth Stage 71%)]


    As his comprehension of the Mysteries of Space improved¡­

 Chapter 744 - 394: Two Years Later_4

    Chapter 744: Chapter 394: Two Years Later_4


    Over the past two years, Li Yuan had unknowingly made significant progress in the Mysteries of Water, the Mysteries of Wood, and others.


    One Law begets thousands.


    Clearly, as the ¡®Law of the Great Dao of Space¡¯ is the source of all Laws, it invisibly influences numerous Basic Laws.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made fast progress, but it still falls short of yours.¡±


    ¡°Just now in combat, I fully deployed my movement technique, yet I couldn¡¯t reach you.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°The Seventh Stage High Rank Wind Mystery combined with the Nine Layer Star Technique is truly formidable.¡±


    Half a year earlier.


    ...


    Liu Bing had already successfully broken through, reaching the Seventh Stage High Rank in the Wind Law, and her Law Comprehension was almost on par with that of a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, naturally boosting her strength enormously.


    Especially in terms of speed in movement technique, she had always been strong, but now it was even more exaggerated.


    ¡°Big brother, speed in movement technique has always been my strongest aspect.¡± Liu Bing said with emotion, ¡°Moreover, in our last sparring session, I felt that your Spear Technique was becoming increasingly mighty, perhaps you will break through any time.¡±


    ¡°Once you break through, big brother, your Spear Technique Profoundness will be comparable to the Pseudo-God Level,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes sparkled.


    Li Yuan laughed.


    Pseudo-God Level Spear Technique?


    He had been studying the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± and indeed he had made progress in the last two years, but there was still a considerable gap from comprehending the fourth form.


    The accumulation was not enough.


    By Li Yuan¡¯s own estimation, aside from the Mysteries of Space, it would probably require the Law of Earth and the Wind Law both to reach the Seventh Stage Intermediate Rank for him to have a chance at comprehending the fourth form of ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear.¡±


    ¡°Big brother, when are we going to the Nine Leaves World?¡± a hint of longing appeared in Liu Bing¡¯s eyes.


    She was delighted to stay with Li Yuan.


    But having stayed in the Flying Heaven Realm for so long, relying on her own efforts and the many treasures in the ¡®Heavenly Snake Hall,¡¯ her Law Comprehension and Star Meridian had greatly improved.


    Liu Bing didn¡¯t wish to stay too long.


    After all, even possessing a ¡®Divine Beast Bloodline,¡¯ if she did not break through to Semi-Divine, achieving the Seven Stages of Perfection or even Eighth Stage Level in Law Comprehension would still become incredibly difficult.


    The higher the realm, the stronger the soul, and the quicker one naturally comprehends the Laws.


    ¡°The day after tomorrow,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°The day after tomorrow?¡± Liu Bing was taken aback, ¡°That soon?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, ¡°I¡¯ve just received the news that the Alliance Hierarch will leave tomorrow.¡±


    Since half a month ago, when Gu You and Qiu Bingzun successfully refined the ¡®Dark Star Divine Spear¡¯ and handed it to Li Yuan, he had been harboring the idea of heading to the Nine Leaves World.


    But at that time, Dongfang Ji¡¯s departure time was approaching, so Li Yuan patiently waited, and today, he finally received the message from Fang Hai.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, head home for a meal first,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°After we eat, we¡¯ll go to Feixing.¡±


    These past two years, Li Yuan had spent most of his time at Kunlun Martial University.


    Other than cultivation, Li Yuan always spent his time with his family¡­this comfort of the soul, in turn, made Li Yuan progress even faster.


    ¡­


    The next day, at Feixing.


    About 1000 kilometers from Feixing in the void, which belonged to ¡®space¡¯ with no air, one could overlook the azure-blue planet below from here.


    Even a Flying Heaven Warrior couldn¡¯t make it to this spot.


    It required one to be at the Pseudo-God Level. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the endless dark void, only Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Lant Semi-Divine were there to see him off.


    ¡°Li Yuan, if you ever have the opportunity to enter the Divine Realm, try to visit Chaos Divine Court,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Chaos Divine Court?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, ¡°Alliance Hierarch, are you going to the Chaos Divine Court?¡±


    According to Qiu Bingzun¡¯s information, the Chaos Divine Court was one of the top three superpowers in the Divine Realm.


    ¡°The chances aren¡¯t great,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, ¡°But nothing is impossible, who can say for sure?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s stop here.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve spoken of everything that needs to be said, the civilization is now in your hands, and I hope we all have the chance to meet again.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang, take care on your journey.¡± Lant Semi-Divine bowed.


    Li Yuan also bowed in respect.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m looking forward to the day you achieve being a True God or even a Heavenly Divine,¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Come back early when that time comes.¡±


    ¡°Haha, foolish child,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and waved his hand; suddenly, the space behind him tore open, forming a passageway.


    The passageway was filled with twisted multicolored lights.


    Whoosh!


    Dongfang Ji stepped into the passageway, and right after, the passageway healed over, and the void had returned to normal.


    ¡°The teacher¡¯s Soul Lamp has extinguished,¡± Fang Hai said somberly, ¡°The teacher has left the Mortal Domain now.¡±


    ¡°This farewell, who knows when we will meet again.¡±

 Chapter 745 03-25 - 395: Farewell

    Chapter 745: Chapter 395: Farewell


    Dongfang Ji had left, and apart from Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Lant Semi-Divine, no one else was temporarily in the know.


    Although the recent great battle had severely injured the Myriad Demons Civilization and chilled the courage of various civilizations, it was almost impossible for the Seven Star Civilization to encounter another invasion soon, but it was always better to be cautious.


    And though the Soul Lamp of Dongfang Ji had extinguished, the location of the Soul Lamp was controlled only by Fang Hai and Lant Semi-Divine.


    Moreover, with Ye An Semi-Divine in good condition, once other Semi-Divines within the civilization saw him, they would know Dongfang Ji was alive, and it would be unlikely for them to become suspicious in the near future.


    Returning from outer space beyond Feixing.


    ¡°Leaving tomorrow?¡± Lant Semi-Divine, upon hearing Li Yuan¡¯s account, couldn¡¯t help but be stunned, ¡°So soon? Aren¡¯t you going to cultivate within the civilization for a while longer?¡±


    ¡°In the Flying Heaven Realm, I¡¯ve already stayed long enough, and continuing my cultivation wouldn¡¯t lead to any qualitative changes in my strength, and the cultivation speed would only slow down, even to the point of reaching a bottleneck,¡± said Li Yuan. ¡°In the Nine Leaves World, perhaps there are the things I¡¯m seeking.¡±


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s honest opinion.


    His goal was the Third Rank Nine-Star Pulse, which had extremely high requirements in many respects, such as Law Comprehension and Soul Will¡­ even though Li Yuan possessed the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    But to have the Spiritual Awakening reach its maximum limit of 100%, the Soul Realm must first break through to the 50th level of the Pseudo-God Level, or even higher.


    The transformation of Soul Will, in addition to the growth through the Visualization Method, external trials, and spiritual growth, was also extremely important.


    As for external objects?


    The Seven Star Civilization was too small; the treasures needed for Li Yuan to cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± were simply unattainable¡­ Moreover, being nearly invincible within the civilization, he faced almost no pressure.


    If he left the Plane to venture into the Starry Sky Space Rift¡­ it would be better to go directly to the Nine Leaves World.


    ¡°Go ahead and venture forth,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°The Nine Leaves World holds many dangers, and knowing your temperament, not daring to venture there would actually be odd.¡±


    Fang Hai had watched Li Yuan grow up all along the way.


    World within Worlds treasure fight, battle in the Ming Xu Star Realm, sweeping the Second Level Star Realm, desperately awakening the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, crisis in Lantie Star, and the recently concluded invasion by Wan Mo¡­ Fang Hai knew well that Li Yuan was passionate and loyal.


    However, within his bones, Li Yuan also tirelessly pursued the limits of cultivation.


    Otherwise, he would not have desperately struggled to attain a Semi-divine Level Soul, and then worked hard to awaken the Eight Star Veins.


    The Nine Leaves World contained vast opportunities.


    ¡°Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.¡±


    ¡°It contains great crises, as well as crisis for our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re in such a hurry to leave, it¡¯s actually related to the little truth about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain you¡¯ve come to understand.¡±


    Fang Hai had talked with Dongfang Ji alone and had a deeper understanding of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain than others.


    ¡°The truth?¡± Lant Semi-Divine was startled.


    ¡°There¡¯s a saying you used to say,¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°Becoming a Pseudo-God, or even a True God¡­ can stabilize our Seven Star Civilization, but cannot permanently resolve the crisis of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, this dig deep was a reason he had always pursued the limits of Star Veins.


    Had he not known about the existence of Nine Star Veins and Ten-Star Veins, that¡¯d be another story.


    But knowing them, he would exert his utmost effort.


    ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s the same understanding,¡± S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°He left enough contingencies and fallbacks for the civilization to ensure it won¡¯t fall,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°If he stayed in the Mortal Domain, becoming a True God in the future would be easy¡­ but the hope of becoming a Heavenly Divine would be far slimmer.¡±


    Both Li Yuan and Lant Semi-Divine nodded.


    Heavenly Divine?


    In the entire Mortal Domain, across ten thousand dimensional planes, most hadn¡¯t even seen a True God born, not to mention a Heavenly Divine.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the things you want to do, Teacher also wants to do,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan with a smile, ¡°Teacher also yearns to become a Heavenly Divine, and then one day come back to try and completely resolve the civilization¡¯s hidden threats.¡±


    ¡°Secondly,¡±


    ¡°The rise and fall of civilizations, to our knowledge, the oldest civilization recorded in the entire Mortal Domain doesn¡¯t exceed ten million years¡­¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Older civilizations were either destroyed by other civilizations or encountered natural disasters.¡±


    ¡°In this world, there is no civilization that lasts forever.¡±


    ¡°Like now, the Myriad Demons Civilization fears us, and the Immortal Ruins Civilization hopes to keep peace with us, not because we have strong individuals emerging constantly, it¡¯s merely because of Teacher, you, and me,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Especially Teacher and you, who have talents strong enough to make any True God take notice.¡±


    ¡°Headmaster, you are no lesser,¡± Li Yuan quickly replied.


    ¡°I am well aware of myself, not as good as Teacher, and not as good as you,¡± Fang Hai said thoughtfully. ¡°But even if it¡¯s us, we can¡¯t live forever.¡±


    ¡°A True God, too, only lives for thirty thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Our Seven Star Civilization, with only seven Life Planets, is extremely fortunate to have given birth to Teacher and you in such a short time,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°We must strive even harder for future generations to produce more who can become Half-Gods, Pseudo-Gods, and ¡®ordinary geniuses¡¯.¡±


    ¡°If our Seven Star Civilization could have thousands of Demigods and several Pseudo-Gods, even without top powerhouses like Teacher¡­ we would still have no fear of invasions.¡±


    Li Yuan understood Fang Hai¡¯s meaning.


    Similar words had also been said by Dongfang Ji.


    No one could live forever, a civilization¡¯s strength could depend on one person for a short time, but not forever.


    Heavenly Divine could only live three hundred thousand years, the Immortal Ruins Civilization stood in the Mortal Domain for a million years, relying on the emergence of generation after generation of powerhouses.


    The emergence of powerhouses required fertile ground as well as a significant population base.


    ¡°Becoming a True God could trigger a dimensional evolution, making the number of Life Planets within the dimension skyrocket.¡±


    ¡°If becoming a Heavenly Divine, within tens of thousands of years, it would be possible to trigger multiple evolutionary events for our dimension, making our dimension¡¯s number of Life Planets surpass that of the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°By then, the entire civilization would have a solid foundation to give birth to True Gods generation after generation.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    In the Mortal Domain, if a civilization continuously had a Pseudo-God in residence, hardly anyone would invade, and if a True God was always present¡­ that would be an absolute dominance.


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader has already gone ahead.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t fall behind, Headmaster, I will definitely strive,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    When he was a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan already had this realization.


    The sky had its support from tall people, and within the Seven Star Civilization, he was that tall person.


    The strength and continuity of a civilization, to completely resolve the ¡®Burial Immortal Ancient Domain crisis¡¯, who would step up if he did not?


    Dongfang Alliance Leader was indeed powerful, but ordinary people still had to walk on two legs.


    How could one only depend on a single person?


    If so, it would render the efforts of Alliance Leader Dongfang meaningless.


    ¡°Li Yuan, with your strength, passing through the Nine Leaves World¡¯s trials is a piece of cake, but the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain contains many great secrets, which even I, your teacher, cannot completely perceive,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°In any case, you must be very careful.¡±


    ¡°Mhmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded earnestly.


    Only by living does one have endless possibilities.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai flipped his palm, and a Glazed Antique Lamp emitting firelight appeared in his hand. ¡°Li Yuan, this is the Soul Lamp. Condense your Divine Sense onto the wick.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going to the Nine Leaves World, and we need to be aware of whether you are alive or dead.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Yuan had refined a Soul Lamp once before and finished the task swiftly with practiced ease.


    ¡­


    Seeing off Li Yuan¡­


    Lant Semi-Divine remarked contemplatively, ¡°He truly is spirited and bold. Observing Li Yuan sometimes reminds me of the young Dongfang, bravely pressing forward, full of energy and fighting spirit.¡±


    ¡°Lant, you aren¡¯t old,¡± Fang Hai joked.


    ¡°Compared to you all, I am,¡± Lant Semi-Divine remarked. ¡°But with Dongfang gone and Li Yuan likely not staying much longer, it¡¯ll be tough on you to remain here.¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine had already guessed Dongfang Ji¡¯s arrangements.


    ¡°Both the teacher and Li Yuan are risking their lives by venturing forth, the path to ascend to Heavenly Divine is not easy,¡± Fang Hai said, shaking his head. ¡°I, staying within our civilization, am actually in no danger.¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine said no more.


    Which mighty individual would pass up on the opportunity to venture into the Divine Realm, or witness a broader universe?


    ¡­


    In Feixing, a city.


    ¡°Master,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said respectfully.


    Having flown from Lantie Star, she had just returned across the starry sky to Feixing.


    ¡°Mhmm.¡± Li Yuan looked at her and said, ¡°From now on, you will stay permanently in Feixing, following the orders of the Alliance Leader. Unless there is an emergency, you shall not leave Feixing. Understood?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod replied.


    Soul Control has many drawbacks, the biggest being that servants regain their freedom once their master perishes.


    Hence, Soul-controlled servants were often used as undercover agents within rival factions, minimizing any loss even in the case of their master¡¯s demise.


    This is also why those controlled Alien Race guest elders and semi-divines are all placed on Feixing¡­ As the core of the Seven Star Civilization, it boasts the most formidable military force capable of suppression at any moment.


    ¡°Legend has it,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°in the Divine Realm among Heavenly Divines, some formidable entities who fully comprehend the Law of the Great Dao can create a perfect method of Soul Control.¡±


    When cast, deeply ingrained in the servant¡¯s soul, it ensures they share life and death with their master.


    Master dies, so does the servant.


    That is absolute control.


    Unfortunately, even among Heavenly Divines, very few accomplish this since not every Heavenly Divine excels in the mysteries of the soul.


    Thus, according to what Li Yuan knew, followers were more prevalent in the Divine Realm¡­ Mighty beings bound by a vow to pursue even greater ones, having some restrictions but still more acceptable than mere servants.


    ¡­


    Upon returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan¡¯s family, having already gathered from various parts of Xia Country at Kunlun Martial University, received the news.


    ¡°To undergo Concealed Cultivation? Five years, or even ten?¡± The crowd couldn¡¯t help but discuss upon hearing Li Yuan¡¯s words.


    The Nine Leaves Nine Mountains was a secret, not to be disclosed.


    Thus, Li Yuan did not reveal the true reason to his family, merely mentioning that he was about to seclude himself for a long time.


    According to the experiences left by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai, the first venture into the Nine Leaves World usually took a year or two.


    During which there would be absolutely no contact with the outside world.


    Li Yuan estimated for himself that, even with his strength far surpassing that of the previous Alliance Leader and the headmaster, ten years ought to suffice.


    ¡°Is it going to be so long?¡± Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Can¡¯t you return in the middle?¡±


    ¡°Big brother, can¡¯t even communicate?¡± Li Qianqian also said, ¡°The great battle on Feixing just ended! After such a victorious battle, is it necessary for Dongfang Ji to exert himself so much?¡±


    As Li Yuan¡¯s family, they had channels of information inaccessible to most Flying Heaven Warriors.


    About the great battle that had taken place on Feixing, Chen Hui naturally knew quite a bit.


    ¡°Aunt, I must go,¡± Li Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.


    But seeing Dongfang Ji¡¯s determination to move forward and Fang Hai¡¯s decision to stay, Li Yuan had no hesitations left.


    ¡°What kind of talk is that?¡± Li Changzhou said gravely, ¡°Li Yuan is now among the top echelons of our civilization. How can he consider only our small family? It¡¯s only ten years.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Go without worries. You¡¯ve left so many treasures, so many Flying Heaven puppets, and we can contact several demigods at any time¡­ With me here, there¡¯s nothing to worry about,¡± Li Changzhou reassured Li Yuan: ¡°Your strength is immense and I can¡¯t help with your cultivation.¡±


    ¡°But I know one thing,¡± he continued, ¡°as a leader of our civilization, you should perform the duties of a leader. Once you¡¯ve chosen to take responsibility, you cannot retreat.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded.


    With his uncle present, Li Yuan indeed never worried about his home; Li Changzhou rarely troubled Li Yuan.


    Like many relatives and friends from earlier years, though not without the desire to approach Li Yuan¡­ All were stopped by Li Changzhou.


    ¡­Li Yuan then visited Bai Shan Demigod in Xia Country Capital, and they talked for a long time.


    After arranging everything,


    On June 19, 2055, of the Seven Stars Calendar, Blue Star Leader Li Yuan left Blue Star again.


    When he would return, might be in a year or two, or perhaps even longer.

 Chapter 746 03-25 - 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission

    Chapter 746: Chapter 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission


    Feixing, Blazing Flame City.


    Ever since the Flame City Semi-Divine had built the city, making it the stronghold of the Blazing Flame Family, the location was naturally advantageous, situated by the riverside of a great river.


    After a century of development, the city had become quite prosperous. Although it was not as grand as Jiang City, with a population nearing ten million, it could be considered a metropolis.


    In the highest level of an ultra-large building that resembled a giant divine bird in appearance.


    From here, one could overlook the entire Blazing Flame City.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to venture into the Star Realm?¡± Lin Lanyue, clad in a fiery red robe, listened to Li Yuan¡¯s story.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°This trip might last several years.¡±


    Over the years, Lin Lanyue had achieved intermediate rank True Intent Comprehension, ranking her among the first tier of the Seven Star Mountain members, and she was recognized as someone with a future hope to become Semi-Divine. Consequently, her status was somewhat elevated.


    Li Yuan naturally was able to share more information with her.


    Of course, Nine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm remained secrets.


    Even within the Seven Star Civilization, many who had reached the Flying Heaven Realm and gone to the Nine Leaves Star Realm did so without knowing the route, escorted by a Demigod.


    ¡°Several years? Is there no way to contact?¡± Lin Lanyue asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°That place is somewhat similar to a World within Worlds, but it¡¯s probably much more mysterious.¡±


    ¡°The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    Seeing a flash of surprise on Li Yuan¡¯s face, Lin Lanyue continued with a smile, ¡°After all, I am a Registered Disciple of the True Phoenix Divine. Back in the day, when my Master followed the Ancient Torch Divine to battle, it was for the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ With my authority at the Peak of the Flying Heaven Realm within the civilization, I should be able to access all Third Level Star Realms, yet none fit the description you gave.¡±


    ¡°If you¡¯re venturing into the Star Realm, there¡¯s no need to lie to me¡­ unless it is the legendary Burial Immortal Ancient Domain,¡± Lin Lanyue stated.


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Due to the True Phoenix Divine, Lin Lanyue¡¯s perspective was on par with many Demigods, making it indeed difficult to keep her completely in the dark.


    ¡°How are you faring in the Blazing Flame Family?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    As Li Yuan understood, after the great battle of Feixing, and with the fall of the Flame City Semi-Divine, Lin Lanyue had returned to the Blazing Flame Family.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    ¡°My parents support me immensely, and I¡¯ve already taken over as Clan Leader,¡± Lin Lanyue said. ¡°Without the ancestor, the mood within the family is anxious. Although the Alliance Hierarch personally decreed compensations for our family, and they¡¯ve promised to particularly cultivate many of our family¡¯s younger generation, the loss of the ancestor still means the family¡¯s power will certainly decline, so the clan elders now view me as even more important.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    This decline was unavoidable; the compensations from the Alliance ensured a safety net, securing the wealth left by the Semi-Divine of Flame City from being plundered. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But the growth of any family and the nurturing of younger members always consume vast wealth¡­ If a Demigod were alive, they could continuously give back to the family.


    Just as when Li Yuan was present, he did everything possible to ensure his Uncle and Aunt could reach the Flying Heaven Realm.


    But what if Li Yuan were gone? The high ranks of the Seven Star Alliance would only ensure that Li Changzhou and the others could live out their lives peacefully.


    ¡°In fact, right before the battle, the ancestor had specifically found me to talk about many things¡­¡±


    ¡°The ancestor said.¡±


    ¡°Your talent is absolutely the best across the entire Mortal Domain, surpassing even the predecessors Dongfang Ji and Alliance Hierarch Fang Hai. You will surely head to the Divine Realm in the future¡­ I know your character, pursuing the peak of cultivation has always been your dream,¡± Lin Lanyue continued. ¡°You carry the responsibility of the rise of our civilization, and you can¡¯t allow yourself to give up.¡±


    ¡°If we were indeed together, I¡¯d probably always be very lonely and always worried about your life and death,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head. ¡°Just like during the Ming Xu Star Realm incident when news came of your demise¡­ Just like now you are about to adventure into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ and it will be many years.¡±


    ¡°If you go to the Divine Realm, I might not hear from you for a hundred years, or even a thousand, and my whole life might pass by waiting.¡±


    ¡°And if you asked me to follow you, it would not only be a burden on you, but I also could not bear to leave my family behind,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t want to live like that,¡± Lin Lanyue said softly. ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Li Yuan opened his mouth but ultimately fell silent, unable to say anything in rebuttal.


    He hadn¡¯t expected Lin Lanyue to suddenly bring up such a candid conversation.


    After a while.


    ¡°Fine,¡± declared Li Yuan, decisive as always. ¡°Lanyue, I had actually prepared a gift for you, anticipating your breakthrough to the Flying Heaven Realm. Regardless, I can¡¯t let my preparations go to waste.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan gestured towards the void in the air.


    A suit of Combat Armor emerged between them, its armor faintly adorned with red Secret Runes, exuding exquisiteness and emitting peculiar fluctuations.


    It was a set of the Fire System ¡®Semi Divine Artifact¡¯ made up of no fewer than nine Semi Divine Artifacts. Li Yuan had meticulously selected it from the Seven Stars Treasury. It was indeed a premium among Semi Divine Artifacts.


    For those in the Flying Heaven Realm, unless cultivating the Nine Layer Star Vein, most will not be able to use Divine Artifacts.

 Chapter 747 03-25 - 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission_2

    Chapter 747: Chapter 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission_2


    ¡°This?¡± A flicker of surprise passed through Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Take it,¡± Li Yuan, having thought everything through, let go and said with a serene smile, ¡°Just like you said, we are still friends, and it¡¯s not excessive for friends to exchange gifts.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Lanyue no longer refused, waving her hand to accept the set of battle armor.


    ¡°Lanyue, then I¡¯ll be leaving,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Take care. Survival comes first when you¡¯re out there making your way,¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°You too.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan took a step forward, and with the void trembling, he vanished at the edge of the heavens and earth.


    Watching this scene,


    ¡°I¡­¡± Tears were hinted in Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes as she murmured to herself, ¡°Li Yuan, as you fight and battle within the Ming Xu Star Realm, I can¡¯t help you; as you sweep through the Second-Level Star Realm, I still can¡¯t aid you.¡±


    ¡°In the battle of Feixing, you¡¯ve stood at the peak of civilization, even stronger than the ancient ancestors. The enemies you¡¯ll face include demigods and divinities from a foreign civilization, yet I¡¯m still just a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Once, I thought that with effort, one day I could be close to you, and that we could be together just like my parents¡­ The years at Seven Star Mountain made me feel like we were truly close to each other.¡±


    ¡°But the truth proves that the gap between us is only growing.¡±


    ¡°Now, the gap is so wide that it¡¯s irreparable, to the extent that I see no hope of catching up, not even coming close,¡± tears streamed down from the corners of Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes.


    She was willing to accompany Li Yuan on his adventures, even to the legendary Divine Realm¡­ but Lin Lanyue had realized something.


    She and Li Yuan were destined to live in different worlds.


    ¡°A burden!¡±


    ¡°Even if I followed him all the way, I would only be a hindrance, so why insist?¡± Lin Lanyue thought bitterly, ¡°Even if I insisted, hundreds or thousands of years later, when my life reaches its end¡­ The disparity in Life Level will still bring about separation by life and death.¡±


    It was because she¡¯d come to this understanding that after the battle of Feixing, she decided to give up on this feeling willingly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just wish each other well.¡±


    ¡­


    In the void,


    Liu Bing and Li Yuan were flying rapidly.


    ¡°Brother, are you really going to give up? I think Lin Lanyue is quite good,¡± Liu Bing sent telepathically.


    During those years at Seven Star Mountain, although Liu Bing didn¡¯t appear, she still observed the interactions between Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue in secret.


    ¡°I can¡¯t insist.¡±


    ¡°Just as Lanyue said herself,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly, ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to live in fear, nor does she wish to wait anxiously each time¡­ but I also can¡¯t give up the path of cultivation.¡±


    ¡°This path, not only for the sake of civilization but also for myself,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with a fighting spirit, ¡°I too am eager to witness the vastness and wonders between heaven and earth, to reach the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, to see what lies at the end of the cultivation path.¡±


    ¡°In the future, if you go to the Divine Realm, she can follow, right?¡± Liu Bing said carelessly.


    ¡°To do so would not be fair to her,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Her parents, her loved ones are in the Seven Star Civilization, her family is also in the Seven Star Civilization¡­ If she were to follow me to the Divine Realm, constantly battling and drifting about, would that truly be happiness?¡±


    ¡°If she doesn¡¯t accompany me to the Divine Realm, the separation could last for many years, how painful would that be?¡±


    Of course, even as he said this, Li Yuan understood the core reason was that they couldn¡¯t reach a point where they could share life and death together.


    Put simply, it wasn¡¯t enough love.


    Ordinary people¡¯s love doesn¡¯t need to face the test of life and death all the time.


    The gods, with their long lifespans, might have many offspring, but most don¡¯t have a partner they can absolutely trust and commit their lives to¡­ The stronger the cultivator, the more self-centered they are, naturally the higher their expectations for a partner will be, and thus, the harder it is to find.


    Like Dongfang Ji, who is extremely strict even with his own progeny.


    ¡°Happiness?¡± Liu Bing was speechless.


    Although her insight and experience were remarkable, and she held vast inheritances of memories, she had little experience with matters of love and affection.


    In her view, what¡¯s wrong with braving life and death together?


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, brother, if you don¡¯t have a partner, you still have me to accompany you,¡± Liu Bing giggled.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see what makes the Nine Leaves World so special,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Boom!


    After flying for a long time, Li Yuan and Liu Bing reached the far southern region of Feixing, a place of mystery.


    All around was darkness, and the vast waters below were completely black.


    ¡°Guided by the information provided by the principal.¡±


    ¡°The entrance to the Nine Leaves World is right here,¡± Li Yuan looked down at the dark waters, unfathomable.


    Suddenly,


    Swoosh! The waters violently split open, and immediately following, a figure swathed in a golden robe emerged from the depths of the sea, charging towards Li Yuan at an alarming speed. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This is?¡± Li Yuan was startled. He felt a deadly threat emanating from the golden figure.


    A threat that could end his life.


    ¡°Brother, this guy is troublesome,¡± Liu Bing also immediately noticed the opponent.


    Instinctively, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry: ¡°[Target exceeds the limit of inquiry].¡±


    Exceeds the limit? Is it at the Pseudo-God Level?


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength in Origin Power, he could even detect a demigod of the Eight Stars.


    Just as Li Yuan thought to retreat, the golden figure had already arrived in front of him but stopped abruptly, nodding slightly, ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch Li, hello, I am Dongfang Jia.¡±


    Dongfang Jia? Li Yuan was baffled.


    ¡°Li Yuan, he is one of the three Pseudo-God Puppets Master left behind,¡± a deep voice suddenly resounded, and a stream of light took shape into a Phantom wearing a white garment.


    ¡°Master Yun,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face brightened.


    ¡°Master Yun,¡± Liu Bing emerged from Li Yuan¡¯s sleeve, also nodding slightly in respect.

    ?Chapter 748: Chapter 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission_3 Chapter 748: Chapter 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission_3 Externally, Liu Bing always maintained her disguise very well.


    ¡°Master¡¯s three Pseudo-God Puppets are named Dongfang Jia, Dongfang Yi, and Dongfang Bing,¡± said Lao Yun, ¡°The one left on Feixing is Dongfang Jia. After the great battle on Feixing, it spent most of the time guarding the entrance to the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains to prevent infiltration by Alien Races.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    With this thought, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but take another look at the Golden Garment figure. Dongfang Jia? The Alliance Hierarch¡¯s naming is really casual.


    ¡°Are you and the Spirit Beast going to take on the challenge together?¡± Lao Yun glanced at Liu Bing.


    ¡°Yes,¡± nodded Li Yuan, ¡°Little Ice is a Heaven Snake. You should be aware, Lao Yun, entering the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains might also yield a great harvest.¡±


    ¡°As long as you know what you¡¯re doing.¡±


    ¡°Follow me,¡± said Lao Yun, as the Golden Garment figure flew towards the parted seabed.


    Carrying Liu Bing, Li Yuan followed.


    ¡°Two Star Realm Passages?¡±


    Li Yuan and company quickly arrived at the depths of the seabed, where, amidst the undulating submarine mountains, lay two immense passageways.


    Each passage was more than ten kilometers in diameter, emitting colorful lights from within. Although it was unknown where they led, the shimmering lights radiated immense beauty.


    ¡°The one on the left leads to the Nine Leaves Star Realm,¡± Lao Yun explained, ¡°This Star Realm is quite peculiar. Although it is a Third Level Star Realm, you must have sufficient strength to enter¡­ Usually, only those with the limit strength of Flying Heaven can break through, which is why, for so long, there haven¡¯t been many Flying Heaven Martial Artists from our civilization who have entered.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement, the limit of Flying Heaven? That meant requiring the strength of a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    ¡°Master once said,¡±


    ¡°To reap great rewards, the first requirement is strength, the second is luck,¡± Lao Yun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Your strength is exceptional, but as for luck¡­ anyway, don¡¯t be greedy. It would be a great loss to our civilization if you were to fall in there.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, looking down at Liu Bing, ¡°Little Ice, let¡¯s go in.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Without hesitation, the duo transformed into two streaks of light and rushed into the left Star Realm Passage, swiftly disappearing into the colorful radiance.


    ¡­


    Upon entering the Star Realm Passage, Li Yuan felt waves of pressure sweeping over him, enough to make an ordinary Flying Heaven Martial Artist explode, but to Li Yuan and Liu Bing, it was just a tickle.


    ¡°Big Brother, it¡¯s really quite easy,¡± said Liu Bing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be careless,¡± Li Yuan warned. Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai might not be allowed to reveal the core secrets of the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, but they could share some superficial information.


    And the most central point of Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai¡¯s summary is¡ªthere is no pattern.


    Anything could happen in the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan felt a hazy fluctuation enveloping him, as if some force swept over him in exploration.


    The next instant, Li Yuan was horrified to discover that Liu Bing, who had always been wrapped around his arm, had vanished.


    Not only Liu Bing, but the Heavenly Snake Hall had disappeared as well.


    It should be noted that Li Yuan also had some understanding of the Mysteries of Space, yet he didn¡¯t perceive the slightest hint.


    ¡°Sister, can you feel anything?¡± Li Yuan immediately sent a message to Gu You, ¡°I can¡¯t even make Soul contact with Liu Bing. I can¡¯t even confirm whether she¡¯s alive or dead.¡±


    Li Yuan was indeed alarmed.


    This method was too powerful.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you must be careful,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°The moment Liu Bing disappeared¡­I didn¡¯t notice it either. This space-time manipulation, it seems even more terrifying than the Heavenly Divines father once encountered¡­ The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is indeed unfathomable.¡±


    ¡°This so-called Nine Leaves World is part of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain. Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai may not have disclosed all the information, but I suspect this place is a kind of test¡­ Naturally, they want to test you and Liu Bing separately,¡± Gu You revealed her suspicion.


    ¡°In any case, be careful.¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Even if you hide inside the Ancient Divine Palace, you might still be forced out,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew cold, and he dared not be the slightest bit careless.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan only felt the surrounding light tremble, followed by a sudden descent, his feet landing on an enormous boulder.


    ¡°Where is this?¡± With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s powerful Divine Sense spread out immediately, but his expression changed quickly because his normally tens of kilometers-wide Divine Sense range was inexplicably suppressed, shrinking to less than ten kilometers.


    In view.


    It seemed to be a dark canyon, strewn with disorderly rocks, ancient trees reaching thousands of meters high, and towering endless mountains that pierced the clouds on both sides.


    In the sky, there was an immense blood moon, its light casting down and making the entire land appear extraordinarily sinister.


    ¡°Exactly where is this?¡± Li Yuan was startled; the scene before him was nothing like the information given by the headmaster and the Alliance Hierarch.


    According to Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai¡¯s intelligence.


    Once one entered the Nine Leaves Star Realm, they would first pass through a vast expanse of land and see the vast ¡®overlapping Nine Leaves¡¯ starry sky scene¡­ Only then would they enter the Nine Leaves World.


    And himself? He had just entered the Star Realm Passage when he was abruptly brought here by an invisible force of space and time.


    Everything was unknown.


    ¡°Hm?¡± A trace of shock flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he murmured to himself, ¡°Third Layer mission? Purple Garment mission?¡±


    At this moment!


    A piece of information suddenly appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Trialist, as an Innate Eight Star Pulse, you have directly become a Silver Garment Member, and at the same time, you have triggered the requirements for a Purple Garment mission.¡±


    ¡°First task: Become a Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse, and you may become a Golden Garment Member.¡±


    ¡°Second task: Succeed in the mission, obtain the Ancestral Realm Order, and you may become a Purple Garment Member.¡±


    ¡°Remember, you must not disclose any information regarding the mission.¡±


    ¡°Where is this?¡± With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s powerful Divine Sense spread out immediately, but his expression changed quickly because his normally tens of kilometers-wide Divine Sense range was inexplicably suppressed, shrinking to less than ten kilometers.

    ¡°Second task: Succeed in the mission, obtain the Ancestral Realm Order, and you may become a Purple Garment Member.¡±


    ¡°Remember, you must not disclose any information regarding the mission.¡±

 Chapter 749 03-25 - 749 397 Abyss Country Jue Xing Continent

    ?Chapter 749: Chapter 397: Abyss Country! Jue Xing Continent Chapter 749: Chapter 397: Abyss Country! Jue Xing Continent ¡°Uh? Fluctuations? Seems very fast?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly: ¡°It¡¯s a bit far apart, the sensation isn¡¯t very clear.¡±


    In this mysterious world before his eyes, his Divine Sense was suppressed, unable to make inquiries far away.


    If faced with a formidable enemy, relying solely on Divine Sense, he would, at most, detect it half a second in advance.


    Look with his eyes? There would be all sorts of obstructions, and just considering the gigantic trees in the canyon, Li Yuan could discern that this world was not simple.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s true forte was the Mysteries of Space!


    Among the Seven Fundamental Laws, each had its specialization; the Law of Water excelled in Defense, the Law of Wood had the strongest vitality, the Law of Wind was the fastest¡­ But the Space Law, as the source of all principles, was powerfully comprehensive.


    Just in terms of Inquiry, it far surpassed the other Law of the Great Dao.


    And Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the Mysteries of Space had already reached what could be called the ¡®Seventh Stage Intermediate Rank¡¯ of other Basic Laws.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    In just a few seconds, Li Yuan could feel waves of fluctuations drawing closer; the ground of the canyon was faintly trembling¡­ It seemed like a herd of frenzied beasts was stomping their way through the canyon.


    Li Yuan looked up towards the mountainsides of the canyon.


    ¡°Li Yuan, do not fly up, don¡¯t worry,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice rang in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°I just activated the perception feature of the Ancient Divine Palace. Those approaching are at the Flying Heaven Level, and should pose no threat to you¡­ This place seems to be a dreadful secret realm, in the mountainsides and even in the sky, there likely lies an extremely powerful Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°Once you reach the high parts of the mountain range, you might face attacks from the Origin Power Arrays. Being careful is wise.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart chilled, and at the same time, he felt elated.


    He couldn¡¯t control the Ancient Divine Palace, but Gu You could.


    The Ancient Divine Palace, as the ¡®True God Instrument¡¯ left behind by the Ancient Torch Divine, had many uses.


    Moreover, without needing Gu You¡¯s frequent reminders, Li Yuan had already noticed many special aspects of this world.


    ¡°The trees, the rocks, they all seem much sturdier.¡± Li Yuan harnessed the Power of Heaven and Earth, sensing the many materials around and discovered their exceptional properties.


    They were incredibly tough, far more so than on Blue Star.


    Next, the gravity of the land also seemed much stronger than on Blue Star¡­ On Blue Star, a Prime Warrior could jump hundreds of meters in one leap, but here, Li Yuan estimated that even a Top Level Origin Martial Artist could only manage about ten meters or so.


    ¡°In such an environment, trees are able to grow thousands of meters tall; if they were on Blue Star, they would likely be preserved and studied,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Living under such tremendous gravity, all life forms would have much more robust bodies.¡±


    Beings must adapt to their environment to survive.


    ¡°However, this restriction should not greatly affect top-level powerhouses,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Those at the Flying Heaven Level would still feel some impact, their flying would be slower¡­ A Demigod would be much less affected.¡±


    Just as Li Yuan was contemplating.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The ground trembled violently, many trees fell, and giant stones were hurled into the air, and dozens of figures appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s line of sight.


    Racing in the forefront were over a dozen human figures, mostly dressed in Combat Armor of different colors, quite motley.


    Mostly armed with weapons, they seemed like warriors, but at this moment, these warriors were mostly pale-faced and utterly panicked.


    ¡°Run.¡±


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°So unlucky, how could we encounter so many Flying Heaven Peak level ferocious beasts.¡±


    ¡°Are we really going to die in this ¡®Abyss Demon Blood Den¡¯?¡± Those warriors fled in panic, communicating with each other through Origin Power, fearing to escape too slowly.


    It wasn¡¯t their fault.


    Originally, over a hundred people had gathered, but the noise attracted a large number of demonic beasts, and in an instant, most were killed, the rest were being pursued.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Ha!¡± Behind these dozen human figures, were even more astonishingly numerous and generally stronger ferocious beasts of different forms¡ªsome resembling tigers and leopards, some like Flying Serpents, others monstrous figures with beast bodies and human faces.


    A universal trait among these monsters was their eyes, shining a blood-red color, appearing incredibly ferocious.


    ¡°Pff!¡±


    ¡°Pt!¡± The two slower human figures were suddenly viciously bitten by the great jaws of a ferocious beast, their bodies instantly torn apart.


    A large amount of fresh blood splattered, further stimulating the bloodthirst of more ferocious beasts, making them even more frenzied.


    ¡°Look, there¡¯s someone up ahead.¡±


    ¡°Seems to be at the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Silly fool, doesn¡¯t he know to run, and he¡¯s still just watching us.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s asking for death!¡± Those human warriors thought the young man in Black Armor was utterly foolish, to be still so silly in the Abyss Demon Blood Den? Facing such a large group of ferocious beasts and not knowing to run.


    However, those human warriors didn¡¯t have the leisure to care much, as they continued their frenzied escape.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Quickly, they had swiftly reached the area where Li Yuan was, with the ferocious beasts behind them even closer.


    ¡°Tear! Roar!¡± One of the beasts, resembling a lizard, moved its tail, fiercely stepping on a huge rock, its body over thirty meters long transformed into a streak of light, swiftly charging in front of Li Yuan, its giant mouth ready to bite.


    ¡°That foolish kid is done for.¡±


    ¡°What an idiot!¡± Those human warriors had many thoughts flash through their minds as they witnessed this scene.


    The next moment, however, left those human warriors completely dumbfounded.


    ¡°Hmm~¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes darkened as an invisible Soul Fluctuation instantly swept across several kilometers at the bottom of the canyon.


    In an instant!


    The faces of those ferocious beasts displayed a flicker of terror, followed by their eyes dulling.


    Boom! Boom! Over thirty ferocious beasts suddenly became listless, tumbling down from mid-air.


    Their bodies, following inertia, either smashed into large clusters of trees, impacted the ground, or stirred up swathes of scattered rocks.


    Eventually, all lay motionless.


    ¡°These beasts, their Life Levels are not low, but their intelligence seems quite weak, so easily annihilated by my Soul?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered with surprise.


    Just now, faced with that large group of ferocious beasts, he had directly used the Soul Secret Technique ¡°Burning Heart Blade.¡±


    It should be noted that when Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Cultivation Level was at level 45, he could annihilate Flying Heaven Intermediate Stage Martial Artists.


    Today, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will had reached level 49, and his Law Comprehension far surpassed the past, making the might of ¡°Burning Heart Blade¡± much stronger than before.


    Normally, to annihilate Flying Heaven Peak was highly likely.


    But this was too easy, one attack, directly killing nearly ten Flying Heaven Peak ferocious beasts, and over twenty at the Flying Heaven Middle Stage?


    In that instant, Li Yuan deduced that these ferocious beasts were not normal cultivators, having much weaker resistance to soul attacks.


    ¡°This place, just randomly producing so many Flying Heaven Peak beings? These humans are also at the Flying Heaven Level, even in the Divine Realm, the number of strong beings on ordinary planets wouldn¡¯t be this many,¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    Normally in the Divine Realm, a Life Level demigod would number only tens to hundreds.


    The population of Flying Heaven Level beings was large, but logically they shouldn¡¯t be overflowing to this extent.


    Where exactly was this?


    Thinking this, Li Yuan¡¯s gaze shifted towards the dozen or so human figures not far away, their eyes full of confusion.


    Because!


    While killing these ferocious beasts with the soul, Li Yuan had also used ¡°Mind Soul¡± to temporarily take control of these human warriors.


    These human warriors were generally at the Flying Heaven Middle Stage, ranging mainly between Level 33 and 34.


    The weaker ones? They had long been killed by that group of ferocious beasts.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s strength, plunging them into a First Layer Illusionary Realm for a short period was still achievable.


    Phew!


    With a sudden move, Li Yuan appeared in front of a notably bulky figure who was merely Level 32, the weakest among these humans.


    Caught in Li Yuan¡¯s ¡°Mind Soul,¡± he couldn¡¯t wake up on his own.


    ¡°Tell me,¡± Li Yuan soul inquired, ¡°Where is this place, where do you come from, who is the strongest person you know of, and what is the strongest power?¡±


    Soul communication was perceiving each other¡¯s spiritual fluctuations, and did not require language.


    ¡°This is the Abyss Demon Blood Den, I come from Abyss Country¡¯s Tang San County,¡± the burly man¡¯s eyes were vacant as he soul-transmitted the message while also muttering, ¡°The Jue Xing Continent is vast and vast, legends say there are countless Life Stars beyond the sky, numerous powerful beings, but legend has it that our Abyss Country¡¯s King is the peak powerhouse on the continent, having presided over Abyss Country for tens of thousands of years, with many nations on the continent, I also do not know which nation is the strongest¡­¡±


    Hearing the burly man¡¯s words, Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed slightly: ¡°Language of the Divine Realm?¡±


    The words spoken by the burly man were clearly in the common language of the Divine Realm.


    To know, whether it was Sister Gu You or Qiu Bingzun¡¯s provided materials, they included ¡®Language of the Divine Realm¡¯, and with the strength of Li Yuan¡¯s soul, he had learned it in an extremely short time, though it was not quite perfect.


    But hearing, there was no doubt.


    ¡°Could it be, I have already arrived in the Divine Realm?¡± Li Yuan was shocked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush, Li Yuan,¡± Sister Gu You¡¯s voice rang out again, ¡°The world is vast, many powerful civilizations in the Mortal Domain also use the language of the Divine Realm¡­ Some worlds opened by super powerful beings, the beings living within those worlds, would also use the language of the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Keep asking!¡±


    ¡°You were teleported to this so-called ¡®Jue Xing Continent¡¯, then this continent must contain secrets,¡± Sister Gu You said, ¡°Reaching an unfamiliar world, the first thing to do is to understand this world, then deep secrets can be explored.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed, and Li Yuan, through soul secret techniques, simultaneously inquired these dozen or so human figures.


    Soul communication was extremely fast.


    Half an hour later, Li Yuan had already understood much about this world and also obtained quite a few books and information crystal stones from these human warriors¡¯ storage treasures.


    ¡°Almost done,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered with a trace of fatigue, controlling so many Flying Heaven Level beings for an extended period was still a huge drain on his soul power.


    ¡°Abyss Demon Blood Den, to leave, three ferocious beasts¡¯ heads as proof?¡± Li Yuan murmured, his gaze as sharp as a sword.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    All ferocious beasts¡¯ bodies were instantly torn apart as if injured by a sharp instrument, this was to conceal the traces of soul killing.


    Followed by three ferocious beasts¡¯ heads flying up, collected by Li Yuan into his storage treasure. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Thank you for telling me so much, let me grant you an opportunity,¡± Li Yuan glanced over these human warriors.


    Having done all this.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s form moved, his speed instantly soaring over eight kilometers per second, already disappearing at the end of the canyon.


    Seconds later.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°What just happened to us?¡±


    ¡°It felt like I had a really long dream.¡±


    ¡°I feel like someone asked me a lot of questions, but I can¡¯t remember exactly what was said.¡± These ten-plus people were gradually waking up and were immediately frightened by the sight of the lifeless group of ferocious beasts¡¯ bodies several kilometers away, each filled with astonishment.


    These people, after all, were at the Flying Heaven Level, not completely stupid.


    They quickly analyzed it out.


    ¡°A master!¡±


    ¡°We were definitely saved by some kind of super master!¡±


    ¡°Could it be that silly lad just now? I was wrong, that wasn¡¯t a fool, clearly a super master, he might even be a fierce person who awakened the Seven Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°He directly killed these ferocious beasts? Truly brutal.¡± These Flying Heaven Level beings were filled with shock.


    Too fierce.


    But immediately, this group of human warriors got excited again: ¡°These ferocious beast bodies, the heads haven¡¯t been taken by that master, he probably looked down on them.¡±


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re all ours.¡± More than ten human warriors, like mad, rushed toward those ferocious beasts¡¯ heads.


    Ferocious beasts¡¯ heads represented wealth and opportunity.


    Even those who had been escaping together previously began fighting among themselves.


    ¡­


    Following the canyon with many forks, Li Yuan rushed out hundreds of kilometers before finally stopping, arriving at a giant rock on a hillside and sitting down.


    ¡°Sister Gu You!¡±


    ¡°You should have heard it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone, his voice low, ¡°Starry Sky Ancient City!¡±


    ¡°The strongest fighter of Level 35 mentioned that he had heard, in the outer starry sky there lies the Starry Sky Ancient City, said to be the strongest force above the three thousand Divine Kingdoms.¡±


    ¡°Starry Sky Ancient City!! Could it be, we truly reached the Divine Realm?¡±

 Chapter 750 03-25 - 750 398 Its the Divine Realm But Its Also Not the Divine Realm

    ?Chapter 750: Chapter 398: It¡¯s the Divine Realm! But It¡¯s Also Not the Divine Realm Chapter 750: Chapter 398: It¡¯s the Divine Realm! But It¡¯s Also Not the Divine Realm ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily the case,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Starry Sky Ancient City is renowned in the Divine Realm, but in many minor worlds and many Mortal Domains, there are similar terms¡­ It might just be a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°After all, there are many strong beings on the Jue Xing Continent. According to the intelligence we¡¯ve collected, the number of True Gods is not small.¡±


    ¡°If it really is a region in the Divine Realm, it should be quite famous. In the databases of me and Qiu Bingzun, it couldn¡¯t be entirely unmentioned,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmission continued: ¡°Moreover, the technological content of this world seems very low, it doesn¡¯t even have a virtual network.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling that Gu You made some valid points.


    One should know, when Li Yuan heard the term ¡®Starry Sky Ancient City¡¯ from that human warrior¡¯s mouth just now, it gave him quite a shock.


    The Divine Realm is vast, but some of the top forces are universally recognized. Divine Courts battle tirelessly, and among the many Divine Courts, one Divine Court Force is the most special, known as ¡®Starry Sky Divine Court¡¯.


    This force, with its great power, is vaguely among the top three of the Divine Realm, and in terms of ancient heritage, it is indisputably the oldest.


    But it hardly competes for territory. Its reach, however, extends everywhere in the Divine Realm, namely the ¡®Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡¯


    Within the Divine Realm, a vast and expansive region is often referred to as ¡®Star Domain¡¯, and the Starry Sky Divine Court has established a Starry Sky Ancient City in almost every Star Domain of the Divine Realm. Each Starry Sky Ancient City has a legacy that endures for billions of years, housing numerous strong beings, often immensely low-profile, to the extent that even Heavenly Divines cannot shake them.


    Powerful, ancient, uncompetitive.


    This is the impression that Starry Sky Divine Court gives to the world.


    ¡°No matter the differences between the Starry Sky Ancient City on the Jue Xing Continent and those in the Divine Realm, at the very least, you now have a certain understanding of this world,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmission stated: ¡°Therefore, we must be even more low-profile to avoid touching upon some super-powerful beings¡­ otherwise we¡¯d find ourselves in a passive situation.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s even the risk of perishing,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmission cautioned: ¡°All in all, in such a powerful and mysterious world, we must be extremely careful.¡±


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Based on the recently gathered information, this world is called ¡®Jue Xing Continent¡¯, vast and expansive. At least for now, Li Yuan does not know the full extent of the continent, and it is also unclear whether the land beneath is a super-sized star or some other form.


    In the Divine Realm, there are super-powerful beings who can create vast and expansive worlds in the starry sky.


    Jue Xing Continent is populated by countless lives, with the Human Race as the mainstream, and the rest consisting mainly of Ferocious Beasts.


    This world, just like in the Seven Star Civilization, has a hierarchy of strength defined as ¡®First Rank, Second Rank, Third Rank (Flying Heaven), Fourth Rank (Demigod), Fifth Rank (Pseudo-God), Sixth Rank (True God)¡¯.


    The True Gods represent the pinnacle of martial strength on the Jue Xing Continent.


    True Gods engage in power struggles and slaughter among themselves, occupying vast territories, proclaimed as ¡®Divine Kingdoms¡¯. The larger Divine Kingdoms can have territories stretching over tens of millions of kilometers, and even the smaller ones have territories several million kilometers in size¡­ Even the smallest Divine Kingdom has a territory far exceeding that of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with endless populations.


    The entire Jue Xing Continent is known as ¡®three thousand Divine Kingdoms¡¯.


    Of course, this is an inexact number; over the long years, occasionally some Divine Kingdoms perish, and occasionally new ones rise. On the Jue Xing Continent, where technology is not advanced and communication means are ordinary, many pieces of information are beyond the knowledge of even those at the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°In addition to Divine Kingdoms, there seem to be some ancient families, powerful sects¡­ the Jue Xing Continent is truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°According to the data, the entire continent has a history of hundreds of millions of years.¡±


    Its antiquity sends shivers down one¡¯s spine.


    Its strength puts Li Yuan on alert.


    ¡°On this Jue Xing Continent, not to mention I¡¯m only at the Flying Heaven Level, even if I become a Demigod, I must keep a low profile,¡± Li Yuan pondered: ¡°Even with the strength of a Pseudo-God, what does it matter? Across the entire continent, just the True Gods have spans of tens of millions of years¡­ in such lengthy eons, there might even be the birth of Heavenly Divines.¡±


    Heavenly Divines!


    Even in the Divine Realm, they are peak powerhouses, like the rulers of each Star Domain, the city lords of each Starry Sky Ancient City, they are all Heavenly Divines.


    ¡°The Jue Xing Continent¡¯s three thousand kingdoms.¡±


    ¡°The Abyss Country I am in now is one of the extremely powerful Divine Kingdoms, with a territory nearly twenty million kilometers in diameter,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly: ¡°Inside, it¡¯s divided into four hundred and eighty states¡­¡±


    ¡°Each state governs tens of thousands of kilometers of territory, and each State City is guarded by Pseudo-Gods. Just within Abyss Country, there are hundreds to even thousands of Divines.¡±


    One Abyss Country alone has a number of strong beings comparable to an entire Mortal Domain.


    What about the entire Jue Xing Continent?


    ¡°An unknown force has shifted me to this continent; let¡¯s temporarily refer to it as ¡®Eternal Hall¡¯,¡± Li Yuan thought of the final hint from the mission.


    One needs to obtain the Return Command in order to be eligible to go to Eternal Hall.


    ¡°Such a frightening power could kill me or toy with me with ease. Since the task has been given, that theoretically means I should have a chance to complete the mission.¡±


    ¡°That means¡­ on the Jue Xing Continent, there should be an opportunity for me to become a ¡®Third Rank Nine Star Pulse¡¯,¡± Li Yuan surmised: ¡°Is it the so-called ¡®Jue Xing Divine Pill¡¯?¡±


    Among the information provided by those dozen or so Flying Heaven Realm, they all mentioned a treasure¡ªthe Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    This mystical Elixir of the Jue Xing Continent, once obtained and consumed, can awaken more Life Stars and even Star Meridians.


    Hence it is named Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    Indeed, the entire continent was named ¡®Jue Xing¡¯ because of this medicine, yet such a pill is extremely precious, and ordinary Prime Warriors and Martial Artists of the Flying Heaven Level cannot obtain it¡ªit¡¯s difficult to even catch a glimpse.


    ¡°At the same time, the Third Rank Nine Star Pulse is the golden mission for the Golden Garment Members.¡±


    ¡°Then, to obtain the so-called Ancestral Realm Order, the difficulty must be even higher,¡± Li Yuan gradually clarified his thoughts: ¡°Even if I become a Demigod, trying to forcefully take the treasures and rare items of the continent through sheer strength won¡¯t work.¡±


    Pure reliance on strength is not feasible.


    ¡°Then there¡¯s only one way.¡±


    ¡°Integration!¡±


    ¡°Disguise as a local, aim to merge with the Jue Xing Continent, join one of the major forces on the continent. Only by leveraging the foundation of these major forces can I hope to touch upon some deep-seated secrets,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    I am an outsider.


    My origins cannot withstand scrutiny; therefore, I must be cautious and not casually reveal the secret of the Third Rank Eight Star Veins.


    Even on the Jue Xing Continent, Third Rank Seven Star Veins are already exceedingly rare, at least those dozen or so Flying Heaven Level beings have never seen one, having only heard of their existence in distant continents.


    The Third Rank Eight Star Veins, to most at the Flying Heaven Level, also seem to be but a legend.


    ¡°If you want to obtain the Jue Xing Divine Pill, this Abyss Demon Blood Den is just an opportunity on the surface.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Thinking of this.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look toward the deepest part of the dark gorge, where the mountain ranges on both sides soared high like giant beasts devouring people.


    Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    This place is a mysterious land of the Abyss Country and also a trial mission. In addition to the participation of the top talents of the Abyss Country and the disciples of divine families, other citizens of the Abyss Country who have reached the Flying Heaven Level can also apply to join the battle.


    Moreover, every year, if the number of trialists does not meet the quota, a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors from within the Divine Kingdom will be forced to join the trial¡­ In short, the yearly trial of the Abyss Demon Blood Den brings in tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    To leave alive.


    One must either survive for twenty days, or at least kill three ferocious beasts and take their heads as proof. If you do not have the heads of three ferocious beasts by the day the exit opens, alas¡­ If you can obtain the heads of a number sufficient to rank within the first thousand, then you are qualified to become a member of the ¡®Black Abyss Guard¡¯ of the Divine Kingdom.


    The Black Abyss Guard is an extremely well-known army in the Abyss Country, with abundant internal resources. Even treasures like the Jue Xing Divine Pill can be hoped for.


    Once you can join, the hope of a Flying Heaven Warrior to become Semi-Divine will greatly increase.


    ¡°With my strength, securing a spot within the first thousand would be a piece of cake, even taking the first place should not be difficult.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    But Li Yuan did not entertain such a thought.


    This is also the reason he left so many ferocious beast heads for other human fighters.


    Identity!


    ¡°My identity must not be probed. If I exhibit too conspicuous performance, being scrutinized by the Abyss Country could lead to immediate arrest or even execution.¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°Even if I wanted to join the Abyss Country, there¡¯s no need to enter the Black Abyss Guard in this way.¡±


    ¡°Too dangerous.¡±


    Somehow, Li Yuan felt that being directly transferred into the ¡®Abyss Demon Blood Den¡¯ by the Eternal Hall might also be a test.


    The first task: survive for ten years!


    For an outsider, striving to survive for ten years on the Jue Xing Continent amidst the pursuit of strength was already a trial in itself.


    ¡°This Abyss Demon Blood Den seems to be enveloped in heavy restrictions, even Sister Gu You can hardly break them.¡± Li Yuan raised his head to look at the sky, where the seemingly dim void hid great dangers.


    ¡°No need to take risks.¡±


    ¡°Just hang on!¡±


    ¡°Survive for twenty years, leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den first, then enter a County City, and gather more information before making decisions.¡± Li Yuan made his decision, prioritizing his survival. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A County City is somewhat lower in status compared to a State City and generally does not have divine beings as guardians. With Li Yuan¡¯s strength, it would be much safer there.


    ¡°Just that.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how Little Ice is faring.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, his concern for Liu Bing evident.


    ¡°Continue to change locations.¡±


    ¡°Although those human fighters did not see me kill those ferocious beasts, they¡¯re probably guessing in their hearts.¡± Some thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°No need to run into them again.¡±


    Of course, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too worried either, as it wasn¡¯t rare to see Flying Heaven Warriors capable of swiftly killing dozens of ferocious beasts on the Jue Xing Continent.


    In keeping with his character, Li Yuan would not silence them.


    This was related to his principles of conduct. He would do what he thought should be done and refrain from actions he deemed improper, even if they carried a slight risk.


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s just twenty days.¡±


    ¡°It will pass in a blink of an eye.¡±


    ¡­


    In a mysterious place far away from Li Yuan, this land was filled with countless icy formations, bone-piercing cold, with narrow passages within the thick layers of ice.


    Chilly winds would occasionally sweep through.


    Just this gust was enough to freeze a Top Level Origin Martial Artist into ice shards.


    A green Flying Serpent, about five meters long, agile in form, wings encasing its crystalline body, quietly sensed its surroundings.


    ¡°Senior Qiu, I still can¡¯t sense Big Brother¡¯s presence. I hope nothing dangerous has happened to him.¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice was full of worry.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°This Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, which intends to filter and test, will certainly not allow you to join forces easily.¡± Qiu Bingzun said solemnly: ¡°Without a trace, it separated you, and even the Heavenly Snake Hall has not the slightest clue¡­ This is definitely a method surpassing that of a Heavenly Divine.¡±


    Surpassing a Heavenly Divine? Liu Bing was inwardly shocked.


    ¡°Little Ice, tell me again about the task you received.¡± Qiu Bingzun suddenly said.


    ¡°Trialist, as an innate Seven Star Veins, you have become a prospective Silver Garment Member and triggered the Purple Garment task requirement.¡± Liu Bing communicated: ¡°First task: Join the ¡®Heavenly Snake City¡¯ of the Starry Sky Ancient City to become a Silver Garment Member.¡±


    ¡°Second task: Awaken the Flying Heaven Eight Star Veins, become Semi-Divine, then you can become a Golden Garment Member.¡±


    ¡°Remember, you must not reveal any information about the trial mission. You must complete at least one task to receive the ¡®Return Command¡¯ and be eligible to go to the Eternal Hall.¡± Liu Bing said, ¡°Senior Qiu, that¡¯s all the information there is.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°Then there¡¯s no mistake.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Snake City! The ¡®Heavenly Snake City¡¯ of the Starry Sky Ancient City.¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s voice held a trace of excitement: ¡°Unexpectedly, the legend within our clan is true, that there exists such a Starry Sky Ancient City. I always thought it was fictitious¡­ But it¡¯s real.¡±


    ¡°Little Ice, I think, I probably know where this is.¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°Where is this?¡± Liu Bing was puzzled.


    ¡°This is the Divine Realm, yet it is not the Divine Realm.¡± Qiu Bingzun said in a low voice.

 Chapter 751 03-25 - 751 399 Princess Jiang Xuan

    ?Chapter 751: Chapter 399: Princess Jiang Xuan Chapter 751: Chapter 399: Princess Jiang Xuan ¡°Is it the Divine Realm? Or not?¡± Liu Bing became increasingly confused.


    ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t fully understand either since there¡¯s little information recorded in the ancient texts, and I used to just regard it as a story,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°In any case, Little Ice, this is definitely a rare opportunity, and you must seize it.¡±


    ¡°But also be careful. If it really is the Starry Sky Ancient City, by logic, the number of True Gods in the Starry Sky Ancient City is astonishing, and there will be even more powerful Heavenly Divines presiding over it¡­ we should all proceed slowly,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Liu Bing nodded.


    Although she possessed inherited memories, the information in her inheritance was mainly deep, with the core being those powerful secret techniques and mighty Star Techniques.


    In terms of breadth, all sorts of miscellaneous knowledge and experiences, she naturally couldn¡¯t compare to Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°Do you feel those cold winds in this layer of ice?¡± Qiu Bingzun transmitted a message.


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the combined use of the Law of Water and the Wind Law,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes gleamed with light. ¡°Especially the application of the Wind Law, it¡¯s extremely ingenious.¡±


    ¡°Places with such strange phenomena could just be your opportunity,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°Move forward slowly, explore¡­ The fact that you were sent here means it¡¯s definitely not a dead end¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about Li Yuan either.¡±


    ¡°He has awakened the innate Eight Star Veins; logically speaking, the opportunities and missions he encounters should be stronger than yours,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°Only by completing the mission can there be hope to see him again.¡±


    Qiu Bingzun knew the place Li Yuan held in Liu Bing¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Alright!¡±


    ¡­


    At the time when Li Yuan and Liu Bing were forced to undertake separate missions,


    in the Feixing, Seven Star Civilization, within the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    Within a mysterious hall.


    Here, even Second Class Star Masters had no right to enter, only the Seven Stars Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch were qualified to do so.


    Within the hall, there were some crystal stones exuding red light, and several ancient lamps emanating strange fiery glows.


    Life Crystals! Soul Lamps!


    This hall was a place where the life and death status of all high-ranking powerhouses of the Seven Star Civilization could be confirmed.


    ¡°Has Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Lamp really been extinguished?¡± Lant Semi-Divine stared shockedly at one of the lamps floating above a showcase.


    ¡°Fang Hai, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Wasn¡¯t Li Yuan just two days into entering the Nine Leaves World?¡±


    ¡°The Soul Lamp is extinguished upon entering the Nine Leaves World?¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine had just received the news and had hurried over in haste.


    ¡°It¡¯s been two days,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly. ¡°Two days ago, as soon as Li Yuan entered the Nine Leaves Star Realm, the Soul Lamp extinguished straight away, and by common sense, he shouldn¡¯t have had the chance to enter the Nine Leaves World yet¡­ I immediately arranged for Duanmu Hong to go check in the Nine Leaves Star Realm, but no clues were found.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Lant Semi-Divine became increasingly shocked.


    ¡°This situation has never occurred before; even when my teacher and I entered the Nine Leaves World and even the Nine Mountains World in the past, the Soul Lamp never extinguished¡­ The last time the teacher¡¯s lamp extinguished was because he did it intentionally.¡±


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡± Lant Semi-Divine was quite worried.


    ¡°There are two possibilities,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes were equally filled with concern. ¡°First, Li Yuan is extremely strong and talented. Just upon entering the Nine Leaves World, he was moved by the intangible rules of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ leaving our Mortal Domain directly.¡±


    ¡°The second possibility is that Li Yuan encountered an unknown disaster upon entering the Star Realm Passage and perished,¡± Fang Hai shook his head.


    ¡°Li Yuan will definitely not perish like this,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said with a heavy tone.


    He hadn¡¯t met Li Yuan often, but he trusted him immensely.


    ¡°I also don¡¯t believe Li Yuan would fall easily,¡± Fang Hai sighed lightly. ¡°But with the extinguished Soul Lamp, if he¡¯s left the Mortal Domain¡­ Can he still return?¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine fell silent.


    No one could guarantee that.


    After all, even with many preparations, nobody knew if someone like Dongfang Ji, who left the Mortal Domain, could return.


    ¡°Let¡¯s hope Li Yuan has indeed just left the Mortal Domain,¡± Fang Hai shook his head. ¡°As long as he¡¯s alive, that¡¯s all that matters.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Jue Xing Continent, within the Abyssal Demon Blood Den where Li Yuan was located.


    The entire Blood Den was vast, merely divided into maze-like passages by towering canyons, with a multitude of Flying Heaven Level creatures from the Abyss Country struggling for survival in the gorges.


    Battling with ferocious beasts! Even battling amongst themselves!


    In the deepest part of the Blood Den, the trees became even taller, and the air was faintly suffused with a hint of blood-colored currents.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The air shook violently, followed by the sound of a Void Warship, dozens of meters long, whistling across the sky, escaping outward like lightning. The speed of the warship was incredibly fast.


    If one were a strong enough being, they could clearly see the warship was covered in a large amount of blood, seemingly having just undergone a bloody battle.


    Yet the warship itself had not suffered much damage, with only a few scars, appearing extremely sturdy.


    ¡°Rumble!¡± The ground trembled, and boulders from the sides of the canyon collapsed with a crash. Following that, a host of ferocious beasts appeared, each with blood-red eyes, extremely violent.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar! Kill!¡± Communicating with their simple intelligence, these ferocious creatures chased after the warship like a tide.


    On the deck of the warship.


    ¡°Your Highness, don¡¯t worry; we¡¯re safe now,¡± a tall and burly brute about two meters high said in a deep voice, wearing light armor with incredibly thick arms and several knife scars on his face, which made him appear quite fearsome.


    Yet his eyes were firm, as he steered the warship forward.


    On the deck, there were also several armored warriors, but their life breath was not as strong as the burly brute¡¯s, and fear could be seen on their faces.


    ¡°Uncle Guo, and Uncle Fang and Dong Li?¡± A girl wearing luxurious silver armor on the warship couldn¡¯t help but speak out with a face full of worry.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°Your Highness, Fang Lei and Dong Li have both broken through to become Semi-Divine, and they are veterans specially selected from this time¡¯s guard army,¡± the burly brute known as ¡®Uncle Guo¡¯ said in a deep voice.


    He said so, but even he wasn¡¯t confident in his heart.


    Fang Lei and Dong Li had become Semi-Divine.


    But since one must be at the Flying Heaven Realm to enter the Abyssal Demon Blood Den¡ªeven if they were guards of the Highness¡ªthey had to abide by the King¡¯s rules.


    Therefore, they had just advanced after entering the Blood Den.


    Facing the siege of a large number of ferocious beasts, the situation was extremely perilous.


    This battle, had it not been for their desperate effort to cover the rear by themselves, blocking those two Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts, the whole army would have likely already been annihilated.


    ¡°It¡¯s my fault,¡± the Silver Armor maiden whispered, ¡°We shouldn¡¯t have gone to the edge of the forbidden land.¡±


    ¡°What is Your Highness talking about? Our mission is to protect Your Highness, even at the cost of our lives,¡± the burly man said in a low voice. ¡°Besides, going to the forbidden land was a suggestion from the three of us¡­ To complete the Royal Family¡¯s trial mission, we have to take risks.¡±


    The maiden¡¯s eyes dimmed.


    Boom!


    Although the burly man had not yet broken through to become Semi-Divine, his True Intent Comprehension was at Sixth Stage Perfection. Operating a Fourth Rank top-level warship, the speed of the craft was astonishing, and they gradually widened the distance from the following pack of ferocious beasts.


    Soon after.


    ¡°Boom!¡± As the warship turned another great bend, the burly man, the maiden, and several other Armored Warriors saw a Black Armor warrior lying on a giant boulder in the valley, seemingly asleep.


    The ground trembled with a thunderous rumble as the horde of ferocious beasts closed in.


    ¡°Sleeping?¡±


    ¡°Daring to sleep in the Abyss Demon Blood Den? That¡¯s seeking death!¡±


    ¡°Sensing his aura, his life breath doesn¡¯t seem to be that strong.¡±


    ¡°How has he managed to survive until now?¡± The Armored Warriors on the deck of the warship were speechless. They hadn¡¯t encountered such a fool in a long time.


    This area was already the inner domain of the Abyss Demon Blood Den, a place of grave danger.


    Whoosh~ The warship sliced through the airwaves, rapidly approaching the area of the giant stones where the Black Armor youth lay.


    With the valley terrain, not daring to flee toward the sides of the mountain ranges, there was only one path.


    Unless they reached some ¡®Mountain Range Junction Point¡¯, where several valleys intersected, they would have the option to escape into other valleys.


    At that moment, the Black Armor youth seemed to be startled awake, ¡®leisurely¡¯ sitting up and looking towards the warship, also noticing the ferocious beast horde tens of kilometers away that was furiously charging towards him.


    He just sat there watching.


    As if he was ¡®frozen¡¯ with fright.


    ¡°Auntie Guo, let¡¯s save him,¡± the Silver Armor maiden urged, ¡°The pack of beasts was provoked by us; he¡¯s innocent.¡±


    ¡°Your Highness, this kind of fellow isn¡¯t worthy of¡­¡± the burly man couldn¡¯t help but start to say.


    ¡°Save him,¡± the maiden insisted.


    ¡°Alright then,¡± the burly man internally resigned.


    He felt that everything about Her Highness was excellent, her talent exceedingly high, having already reached the Flying Heaven Peak in just over a decade of cultivation. In the future, she even had the potential to awaken the Third Rank Seven Star Veins¡­ But she was just too kind, treating various servants and underlings extremely gently while in the County City.


    He hadn¡¯t expected that even here, in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, she would still be so kind.


    Right! Theoretically, the ferocious beasts charging from behind were provoked by them; this Black Armor youth seemed somewhat innocent.


    But in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, where did innocent people exist?


    ¡°Boy, if you don¡¯t want to die, get on the ship!¡± The burly man suddenly shouted angrily, and through Origin Power sound transmission, his voice instantly traveled to the Black Armor youth.


    Whoosh!


    The warship slightly adjusted its course close to the ground; suddenly, a silver chain had zipped out, full of Spiritual Nature, shooting straight towards the Black Armor youth. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The silver chain was cast by the Silver Armor maiden, who also transmitted a message: ¡°Grab it quickly.¡±


    On the giant stone.


    The Black Armor youth, hearing the sound, was momentarily stunned, then saw the silver chain and the anxious expression on the maiden¡¯s face on the warship, as well as glanced at the tide-like beast horde behind.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan reached out, grabbed the silver chain, and immediately his Origin Power burst forth, displaying a Fourth Rank level of strength, and propelled himself upwards with a leap.


    Instantly, he landed on the deck of the warship.


    ¡°A Semi-Divine Level warship?¡± Li Yuan scanned the ship and thought to himself, ¡°No signs of technology, this warship should be closer to a ¡®Semi Divine Artifact¡¯.¡±


    The forging of Divine Artifacts and Semi Divine Artifacts share commonalities with technological creations but also have many differences.


    The most fundamental difference lay in the Law Fluctuation.


    Boom! The warship continued its advance.


    ¡°Thank you, senior.¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully towards the burly man steering the warship.


    Without the need for Divine Palace Exploration, Li Yuan¡¯s strength allowed him to instantly discern that the burly man was probably at the Semi-Divine Level of Fortieth Rank but with a somewhat unstable aura, likely having just made a breakthrough.


    Semi-Divine?


    This was the first time Li Yuan had encountered a human Semi-Divine in his days wandering the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    According to the rules Li Yuan knew, one must be at the Flying Heaven Level to enter the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    Did this burly man break through to the Semi-Divine Level inside the Abyss Demon Blood Den?


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me, if you¡¯re going to thank someone, thank my family¡¯s Her Highness,¡± the burly man glanced at Li Yuan, then no longer paid him any attention.


    ¡°Her Highness?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards the Silver Armor maiden, whose features were delicate, her eyes clear and pure.


    ¡°This is Her Highness Jiang Xuan,¡± an Armored Warrior beside chided, ¡°Seeing Her Highness, shouldn¡¯t you bow in homage?¡±


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for Her Highness¡¯s kindness, commanding the Commander to save you, you would have died to the beasts,¡± another Armored Warrior added.


    Li Yuan immediately understood the reason they saved him.


    ¡°Thanks to Her Highness Jiang Xuan,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly in gratitude, his heart also stirred.


    Jiang?


    The Royal Family of Abyss Country was indeed surnamed Jiang.


    But after thousands of years of proliferation, the Royal Family¡¯s bloodline had become immensely large, with the vast majority being just ordinary people. To still be referred to as Her Highness, capable of wandering the Abyss Demon Blood Den with a Semi-Divine serving as her personal guard¡­ Undoubtedly, the status of this maiden within the Abyss Country¡¯s Royal Family must be not low.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for thanks,¡±


    The Silver Armor maiden shook her head and insisted, ¡°That pack of beasts was attracted by us, saving you is only right.¡±


    A flash of unusual color crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    During these days wading through the Abyss Demon Blood Den, although he had rarely engaged in combat, Li Yuan had witnessed many human warriors brutally slaughtering each other, a scene of extreme bloodshed; to suddenly encounter such a naive¡­ no, such a kind-hearted Royal Princess.


    It left Li Yuan with a surreal feeling.

 Chapter 752 03-25 - 752 400 Clashing of the Royal Family Li Yuan Takes Action

    ?Chapter 752: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action Chapter 752: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action In the deepest depths of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    This place was surrounded by mountain ranges, and streaks of blood-red mist veiled the void, making it impossible to peer into from a distance. Ordinary trialists simply could not set foot here.


    In fact, in the intelligence reports of some elite geniuses and royal elite offspring, this area was referred to as ¡®forbidden lands,¡¯ where even those with demigod power could not tread.


    Likewise, the reason it was called forbidden lands was also because many exotic treasures grew here.


    At this moment, on the edge of the forbidden lands, a large number of ferocious beasts were attacking a team.


    ¡°Young Master, quickly, these ferocious beasts are too strong.¡± A ten-meter-tall golden armored warrior wielding a combat saber bellowed: ¡°Hurry, block the other beasts, forge a bloody path for the master.¡±


    He was commanded to lead nearly a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors, protecting their master to participate in the Abyssal Demon Blood Den trial, striving to break into the final top ten.


    Unexpectedly, they encountered such a catastrophe.


    ¡°Ninth Uncle!¡± The youth in black armor roared furiously from a distance; these guards had accompanied him for decades, handpicked by his father, and were extremely loyal.


    It had not crossed their minds that the ¡®forbidden lands edge gathering¡¯ that was clearly not dangerous according to the reports, could turn into such an unexpected event.


    Of the Flying Heaven Level guards, less than twenty were left alive.


    Only thanks to Ninth Uncle, who just broke through to become a ¡®Demigod,¡¯ were they able to hold on until now.


    However among those besieging ferocious beasts, there were also demigod-level ones. Although the beasts were low in intelligence and did not cultivate Star Techniques, relying solely on their bloodlines for growth, they were often the weakest in the same realm due to their inherently strong bodies¡­ But Ninth Uncle had only just made his breakthrough.


    ¡°How could so many ferocious beasts come here.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡± These Flying Heaven Guards also felt wronged, but even the weakest among them were at the Flying Heaven Peak, and they were all exerting their utmost effort to create a chance for the youth in black armor to escape.


    ¡°Just at this moment!¡±


    Whoosh!


    The youth in black armor suddenly slashed with the combat saber in his hand, which faintly shimmered with a fiery red glow, directly slicing through the body of a ferocious beast over thirty meters in length.


    Instantly, the beast¡¯s enormous body fell from midair, split in two, blood and a large number of organs poured out.


    And the youth in black armor had taken this opportunity to instantly flash behind the beast several hundred meters away, seemingly about to break out of the encirclement.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The constantly trembling battlefield abruptly tore open, and a colossal hand stretched out from the ground, with blood-colored streams swirling around it.


    The heavens and earth seemed to dim at once.


    ¡°What is this?¡± The youth in black armor was nearly on a collision course with the gigantic hand, his heart tightened, involuntarily feeling a sense of despair.


    This was the condition when the disparity between Life Levels was immense.


    ¡°The Blood Demon! It¡¯s the legendary Blood Demon! The Blood Demon is awakening? It¡¯s over!!¡± Horror surged in the youth¡¯s heart as he suddenly recalled the intelligence reports.


    The Blood Demon, the strongest beast in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, typically only awakens once every several dozen trials.


    But once awakened, it is the nightmare of countless trialists.


    Upon encountering one, death is certain!


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The giant hand, though looking unwieldy, moved with extreme speed, appearing and sweeping past the youth in black armor in an instant, like a boulder crashing into an egg, his body shattering instantly¡­ dead beyond doubt.


    This scene caused the still alive golden armored warriors to be filled with shock and rage,


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    That terrifying giant hand, like a blood-colored pillar, hundreds of yards high, continued to harshly slam down.


    As if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting.


    ¡­Shortly after the battle ended, one ferocious beast after another quietened down, and that giant hand had once again returned underground.


    Under the invisible force of heaven and earth, the severely damaged and destroyed mountainous valleys began to gradually return to their original state.


    ¡°A bunch of fools.¡±


    ¡°The master had clearly warned the higher-ups of Abyss Country that this is forbidden lands, not to trespass¡­ yet they still dared to come.¡± An invisible thought extended from the blood-mist enshrouded depths of the forbidden lands to this area: ¡°How many Flying Heaven Level beings have been killed?¡±


    ¡°Not even 30,000 people killed, this time is an important trial for Abyss Country, quite a few children of great clans came, many of whom became Demigods as soon as they entered.¡± Another strong thought came from the ground.


    ¡°As a result, the hunting speed is slower, and my children have suffered considerable losses, many dead and injured, and it will take quite some time to breed new ones.¡±


    The two thoughts communicated.


    ¡°A trial?¡±


    ¡°Hmph! This is the ¡®Blood Feeding Grounds¡¯ established by the master, it is only because we have an agreement with the King of Abyss Country.¡± The thought from within the depths of the forbidden lands conveyed: ¡°Regardless of their trials, our task is to monitor the formations, slowly gather ¡®Life Essence¡¯ as material to prepare Elixirs for the master. The time to present them is near, set off a Blood Catastrophe.¡±


    ¡°That would be good.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been over a decade since the last Blood Catastrophe erupted, setting it off once, and not even the higher-ups of Abyss Country can say a word.¡± The thought from the ground responded.


    These two thoughts were one of the hidden powers within the ¡®Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡¯


    ¡­


    Within a dim gorge in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    The ground of the gorge had numerous cracks, clearly having also experienced a fierce battle, while the previously fast-flying Demigod Level warship had shaken off the pursuit of a large number of ferocious beasts, and its speed had slowed down.


    Li Yuan remained on the warship.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name? How did you come to the Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡± The silver armored girl looked at Li Yuan, her voice pleasant.


    Although kind, it did not mean she was foolish; she knew well that those who could come to the Abyss Demon Blood Den were no ordinary people.


    Even on the Jue Xing Continent, a normal person would only grow to about level ten by adulthood¡­ Those who could reach the Flying Heaven Realm were already considered ¡®elites¡¯, and in some smaller places, they could gather some power.

 Chapter 753 03-25 - 753 400 Clashing of the Royal Family Li Yuan Takes Action_2

    ?Chapter 753: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_2 Chapter 753: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_2 ¡°Your Highness, my name is Xu Yuan,¡± Li Yuan made up a name on the spot, somewhat helplessly saying, ¡°I was captured unintentionally.¡±


    ¡°Captured? That¡¯s really unlucky.¡±


    ¡°No wonder you¡¯re only at level 34 and ended up in the Inner Domain; you probably aren¡¯t even familiar with the various intelligence reports,¡± the Silver Armor girl¡¯s clear eyes showed a hint of pity.


    Li Yuan was speechless. The Inner Domain?


    For him, there was no difference between the Outer and Inner Domains, except that there were fewer people in the Inner Domain, which could avoid many troubles.


    But of course, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t explain any further. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Silver Armor girl shook her head and said, ¡°The trial quest was originally voluntary. For some reason, hundreds of years ago, it became mandatory to gather two hundred thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Level every year¡­ If not enough, they would go to various states to capture people¡­¡±


    Li Yuan listened on the side.


    According to the intelligence he had gathered, the survival rate in the Abyss Demon Blood Den was very low; of the two hundred thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Level, less than fifty percent would make it out alive each year¡­ Over time, the enormous number of Flying Heaven Level individuals in Abyss Country naturally became unwilling to participate.


    Hence the capturing began, which, of course, was officially called ¡®conscription.¡¯


    If one truly had certain backgrounds, as long as they revealed their identities, they wouldn¡¯t be conscripted.


    ¡°If it was just a simple trial to select cultivation geniuses, there would be many ways to do so. Yet they insist on gathering a large number of warriors at the Flying Heaven Level every year, and the death rate is shockingly high,¡± Li Yuan thought in his heart, ¡°This Abyss Demon Blood Den likely contains secrets.¡±


    An enormous and invisible formation enveloped the area.


    Those bizarre Ferocious Beasts¡­ all indicated the special nature of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    From what Li Yuan knew, in the Divine Realm, some super-powerful beings would often slaughter frenziedly for the growth of some special treasures, concoction of Elixirs, powerful treasures, etc.


    Annihilating hundreds or thousands of planets in one go was routine.


    Like the ¡®Pseudo-God Soul Liquid¡¯ Li Yuan had used before, it was made by refining the souls of Pseudo-God Powerhouses¡­


    ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s good as long as I can safely leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den,¡± Li Yuan pondered in his heart.


    ¡­ In Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes, Li Yuan was just an ordinary Flying Heaven with bad luck and no background.


    ¡°Your Highness.¡±


    The burly man known as ¡®Guardian Uncle,¡¯ no longer having to fully control the Warship, stepped forward and said in a low voice, ¡°We have escaped the pursuit of the Ferocious Beasts, and the identities of these three are unclear. For your safety, it¡¯s better to let them all go.¡±


    Jiang Xuan had not only saved Li Yuan.


    During the recent escape, she had also saved two others.


    ¡°Both of you are at the Flying Heaven Peak; do you still intend to struggle in the Inner Domain?¡± Jiang Xuan turned to the other two Martial Artists.


    The two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors looked at each other and nodded, saying, ¡°Thank you, Your Highness, for the rescue. We still want to try for the Black Abyss Guard positions, so we will not follow Your Highness.¡±


    Following a member of the Royal Family would make it difficult to hunt other Ferocious Beasts.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors turned into two streaks of light, swiftly leaving in another direction.


    ¡°What about you? Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± The burly man looked at Li Yuan, frowning slightly.


    ¡°Guardian Uncle, let him follow us,¡± the Silver Armor girl said, ¡°Xu Yuan is too weak. We haven¡¯t left the Inner Domain yet. Letting him go now, he would probably die if he encountered a group of Ferocious Beasts.¡±


    ¡°Your Highness, we still have to complete a mission. Having him with us will slow us down,¡± the burly man said gravely, ¡°At level 34, with some luck, it¡¯s possible to leave the Inner Domain¡­ Didn¡¯t he make it here by himself before?¡±


    With Li Yuan¡¯s strength and his Technique for concealing his Cultivation breath, it would be difficult to completely hide the Life Breath of the Flying Heaven Realm from other powerful beings.


    But simply concealing his Life Breath from level 38.9 to level 34 would be undetectable even to an ordinary Demigod.


    ¡°Guardian Uncle!¡±


    ¡°This time, I don¡¯t want to take the risk,¡± the Silver Armor girl shook her head, ¡°Let¡¯s return to the Outer Realm and await the end of the trial directly.¡±


    ¡°Not taking the risk?¡± Guardian Uncle was slightly surprised, ¡°Your Highness, this trial is very important.¡±


    ¡°If Fang Uncle and Dong Li are probably dead, I don¡¯t want any more accidents to happen to you. If you all die, even if I succeed in the trial, it won¡¯t mean anything,¡± the Silver Armor girl¡¯s eyes slightly reddened.


    In her heart, people like Guardian Uncle and Fang Uncle were like family, having watched her grow up since she was a child.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to take the risk. Even without the rewards from this trial, I feel I can enter the Abyssal Emperor Palace for Cultivation on my own, just a few years later at most,¡± the Silver Armor girl¡¯s gaze swept over the group.


    ¡°Your Highness.¡± The burly man became anxious, as he would rather die to let the Highness complete the trial quest.


    The several Flying Heaven Peak Armored Warriors beside him couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Your Highness, we are willing to take the risk.¡±


    ¡°My mind is made up,¡± the Silver Armor girl insisted.


    With a sigh in his heart, the burly man knew the Silver Armor girl¡¯s temperament; she seemed gentle, but was actually very stubborn.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s set out for the Outer Realm and wait for the Blood Den¡¯s gate to open,¡± the burly man said in a low tone, then glanced at Li Yuan.


    Lucky young man.


    The burly man did not care about Li Yuan.


    A level 34 Martial Artist was just in the middle stage of the Flying Heaven; he posed no threat to Jiang Xuan at level 36, who was extremely strong even among those at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Not to mention threatening him, a new Demigod.


    In the burly man¡¯s eyes, since the Highness was kind-hearted and wanted to take him along, there was no need to make the Highness unhappy.


    ¡­


    Phew! The Warship continued along the dim canyon, moving away from the forbidden area, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.


    Guardian Uncle and those Soldiers were clearly familiar with the terrain.


    Encountering some human warriors along the way, they all fled upon merely seeing the Warship¡­ A Warship of this level was clearly for the children of major families to come and trial.


    As for Ferocious Beasts? Any that dared approach the Warship, if in great numbers, were easily annihilated by Guardian Uncle with his Demigod Origin Power.

 Chapter 754 03-25 - 754 400 Clashing of the Royal Family Li Yuan Takes Action_3

    ?Chapter 754: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_3 Chapter 754: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_3 ¡°`


    The remote attack of a Demigod, though not nearly as powerful as close combat, could easily exterminate the common Flying Heaven Beasts.


    If there were few in number, it would even serve as practice for Jiang Xuan, whose swordsmanship Might was astonishing, but she clearly lacked battle experience.


    The group traversed through canyons, shuttling over tens of thousands of kilometers.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, according to the map, we are not far from the Outer Realm.¡± Jiang Xuan said: ¡°If you are willing, you can follow me until the end of the trial. You were just captured; there is no need for you to participate in this kind of battle.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded. It didn¡¯t matter where he stayed.


    After such a long time, Li Yuan had some judgment in his heart. Jiang Xuan was likely a genius of the Abyss Country¡¯s Royal Family with not a long Cultivation Time, of certain status but probably not the core of the Royal Family.


    ¡°Li Yuan, a large group of troops is approaching, among them are Demigods,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    Soon, at the other end of the canyon, a slight tremor traveled through the air, and quickly, a Void Warship appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes, revealing a massive structure with dense crowds of figures standing on its deck.


    ¡°There are quite a few of them.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly: ¡°All at least Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, three Demigods?¡± S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Such a force was the strongest Li Yuan had encountered in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t the least bit worried.


    However, on the warship, the burly man and a few other Soldiers, their expressions changed: ¡°Not good, it¡¯s Jiang Lei¡¯s team, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Jiang Xuan¡¯s expression turned serious as well.


    Whoosh! The burly man, Uncle Guo, maneuvered the warship, and its speed began to rapidly decrease, trying to fly in the opposite direction, but this took time.


    That¡¯s when,


    Boom! That distant warship picked up speed suddenly, shockingly fast, like a massive trail of firelight, rushing towards Jiang Xuan¡¯s warship.


    ¡°So fast,¡± the burly man¡¯s face changed. This speed was faster than his full effort in maneuvering the warship.


    Clearly, on the other warship, there might very well be a Demigod who has comprehended the True Meaning of Wind.


    Li Yuan, witnessing this scene, was also quite surprised. The speed of a Demigod Level Warship was extremely astonishing; even under the incredible binding pressure on the Jue Xing Continent, it could reach about four kilometers per second.


    Take note that on Blue Star, Flying Heaven Peak Experts could nearly reach 3 kilometers per second in flying speed, while Demigods generally could exceed seven kilometers per second.


    But on the Jue Xing Continent, the normal flying speed of a Flying Heaven Peak Expert was less than 1 kilometer per second.


    In less than ten seconds, the massive warship had already blocked the path of Jiang Xuan¡¯s warship.


    Boom! The warship began to forcefully decelerate.


    ¡°Haha, isn¡¯t this the noble Jiang Xuan? Why are you running away from me like a mouse from a cat?¡± This sneering voice, amplified by Origin Power, echoed through the canyon.


    The massive warship¡¯s deck cleared out, and a young man in Silver Armor stepped out from the crowd. His features were bewitchingly handsome and he wore a purple-gold crown, his status seemingly very high.


    At his side, apart from the Armored Warriors, there were three figures exuding powerful auras, each looking indifferent, gazing down at Jiang Xuan and her group.


    ¡°Jiang Lei, what do you want to do?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s expression changed, cold as frost.


    She did not expect to encounter this enemy.


    ¡°What would I dare to do to you? My respected Jiang Xuan,¡± the Silver Armor youth showed a ferocious smile, his words laced with mockery: ¡°Your father was a Peak of Pseudo-God, reigning over a whole province¡­ Oh, I almost forgot, your father has been dead for ten years.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, that Mist Mountain King had dozens of children, but it looks like you didn¡¯t inherit much wealth or treasures. Venturing into the Abyss Demon Blood Den, you only have a single Demigod Level protector by your side,¡± the Silver Armor youth¡¯s eyes were cold, his words filled with disdain.


    ¡°Jiang Lei!¡± Uncle Guo, the burly man, finally exploded in anger, roaring: ¡°Even the Mist Mountain King is not immune to your criticism.¡±


    Daughter of the Mist Mountain King? A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, and he glanced at Jiang Xuan.


    According to the information he had gathered, royal members of the Void God Realm in Abyss Country were usually granted the title of marquis.


    Those royal family members who were granted the title of a king were very rare and were mostly extremely powerful beings among Divine entities or those who had made great contributions.


    As for non-royal Pseudo-Gods, even being ennobled as a marquis was difficult.


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, is this how you teach your subordinates?¡± the Silver Armor youth¡¯s face turned icy, revealing a hint of murderous intent: ¡°We¡¯re only discussing facts, it¡¯s not as if it¡¯s slander. My father is Marquis Shadow Edge, how about it, Jiang Xuan, does your Demigod servant intend to convict me?¡±


    ¡°This kind of servant should be killed!¡± the Silver Armor youth was full of killing intent.


    ¡°Jiang Lei, my subordinate was in the wrong, I apologize to you on his behalf,¡± Jiang Xuan said resolutely.


    She knew of Jiang Lei¡¯s ruthless character.


    If all three of her Demigod guards were present, she wouldn¡¯t fear him, but now only Uncle Guo remained. With the situation against them, she chose to bow her head.


    ¡°Your Highness, I¡¯d rather die than¡­¡± the burly man¡¯s eyes turned red.


    ¡°Shut up, Xu Guo, have I indulged you too much? You won¡¯t even listen to my orders?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s face was full of anger, and she yelled sternly: ¡°When we return to the Royal Capital, I will punish you severely.¡±


    The burly man was stunned.


    ¡°Tsk!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, stop putting on a show in front of me,¡± Jiang Lei sneered venomously, his eyes cold as those of a snake: ¡°Back then, you captured me and hung me in the Hundred Treasures Tower for three days and nights, making me lose all my face¡­ I will never forget it in this lifetime.¡±


    ¡°Today is the day I wash away the disgrace,¡± Jiang Lei fixed his gaze on Jiang Xuan: ¡°Your father is dead, and in this Abyss Demon Blood Den, your elder brother can¡¯t save you.¡±


    ¡°You dare to kill me?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s face grew colder, realizing there would be no peaceful resolution, she no longer pretended.

 Chapter 755 03-25 - 755 400 Clashing of the Royal Family Li Yuan Takes Action_4

    ?Chapter 755: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_4 Chapter 755: Chapter 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_4 ¡°I dare not.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not stupid, you¡¯re a registered member of the royal family. If I kill you and it¡¯s discovered, I too shall die,¡± sneered Jiang Lei: ¡°But today, all these servants by your side must die!¡±


    ¡°Without these servants, if you die in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, I won¡¯t be blamed.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve also heard that you treat these servants as friends, so surely their deaths will sadden you, hahaha!¡± Jiang Lei laughed hideously.


    Jiang Xuan¡¯s fury was unparalleled, her small face flushed with anger.


    By her side, Xu Guo and the armored warriors likewise gripped their weapons tightly.


    Even with the overwhelming disparity in strength, they never thought of giving up the fight.


    ¡°Protect Her Highness well.¡±


    The burly man Xu Guo transmitted his voice: ¡°Your Highness, the moment the battle erupts, you must immediately steer the warship and flee; I¡¯ll desperately entangle them.¡±


    ¡°Uncle Guo.¡± Jiang Xuan panicked.


    ¡°Your Highness, your life is what matters, listen to me, you can¡¯t bet on Jiang Lei not daring to kill you. One¡¯s life can only be controlled by oneself.¡± Xu Guo sternly transmitted, unconcerned about Li Yuan.


    In such a situation, who would care about an intermediate-ranked Flying Heaven Martial Artist?


    ¡°Seems you still wish to resist?¡± The silver-armored young man Jiang Lei sneered coldly and suddenly bellowed: ¡°Attack, kill them all! Remember, don¡¯t hurt Jiang Xuan, capture her alive.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Your Highness!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± The three Semi-Divine warriors and more than sixty Flying Heaven Peak Experts surrounding him responded in unison, immediately transforming into beams of light and hurtling forward.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The three Semi-Divine warriors instantly flew out of the warship, exuding an imposing aura. Each held a Divine Artifact bestowed by Marquis Ying Feng, capable of exerting immense battle power and meant to protect Jiang Lei.


    Dozens of Flying Heaven Peak guards followed close behind, their formidable presence causing drastic changes in the expressions of Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the others.


    Too powerful.


    Especially the black-robed elder leading them, whose presence was as scorching as the stars. He waved the Divine Artifact scepter in his hand, and a vast array of flame snakes and dragons roared as they lunged forth.


    ¡°Law!¡±


    ¡°This is a newly-promoted Semi-Divine who has crossed the Threshold of the Fire Law.¡±


    ¡°Such a powerful being should logically have become Semi-Divine already ¡ª definitely a significant figure. Marquis Ying Feng actually commanded him to protect Jiang Lei¡¯s trial task?¡± Xu Guo¡¯s face was utterly drained of color.


    All were newly-promoted Semi-Divine, but grasping the Law¡¯s Mysteries compared to not comprehending them was a world of difference.


    Just this black-robed elder alone was enough to decimate them.


    ¡°We¡¯re done for!¡±


    ¡°No!¡± The several armored warriors beside Xu Guo displayed unwillingness on their faces, along with a hint of fear.


    Standing at the back, Li Yuan slightly shook his head: ¡°I originally thought that following a royal family member would spare me many troubles in battles and keep me inconspicuous, but it seems I still have to take action.¡±


    Boom!


    The previously inconspicuous Li Yuan standing behind Jiang Xuan, who exhibited the weakest Life Breath, suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura. His body instantly grew to a height of ten meters, followed by strands of earthy yellow energy appearing out of nowhere in the surrounding void.


    As the earthy yellow energy descended, all the flames and flame snakes in the void dissipated.


    The entire ravine, within several kilometers, was engulfed in the surging earthy yellow currents.


    Nine Yellow Dragons appeared, meandering through the immense domain. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The whole world seemed to grow quiet at this moment.


    On Jiang Xuan¡¯s warship, Jiang Xuan and her armored warriors were all immobilized, while Xu Guo was shockingly overwhelmed, feeling as though he was shouldering a mountain.


    In contrast, Jiang Lei¡¯s subordinates, who had just charged out of the warship, were all more than sixty Flying Heaven Peak Experts, completely suppressed and suspended in the void, unable to move.


    The three Semi-Divine warriors were fully restrained, struggling with great difficulty to invoke the Mysteries of True Intent or the Mysteries of the Law.


    ¡°How is this possible!¡±


    ¡°We are Semi-Divine, and brother is even one who has comprehended the Law.¡± The three Semi-Divine were filled with terror.


    In their view, with the three of them joining forces and holding Divine Artifacts, they should be invincible within the Abyss Demon Blood Den unless they encountered blood disasters or swarms of Semi-Divine level ferocious beasts.


    Just now, their attention had been solely on Xu Guo, completely overlooking the 34-year-old in black armor.


    But now!


    This unremarkable youth suddenly unleashed such a terrifying domain! Pure domain suppression was choking them, their flight speed dropping by more than 90%.


    ¡°What kind of domain is this?¡±


    ¡°Is he Semi-Divine? Or at Semi-Divine Peak?¡±


    ¡°Why would such a supreme expert protect Jiang Xuan?¡± These three Semi-Divine panicked, knowing they had hit a snag today.


    ¡°Spare us!¡±


    ¡°Senior, please spare our lives.¡± The three Semi-Divine warriors transmitted desperate pleas, seeking to survive.


    But Li Yuan remained calm.


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± The previously circling nine Yellow Dragons finally erupted, roaring across the vast sky, each exuding strength close to a middle-ranked Semi-Divine, slaughtering those dozens of Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Even the three Semi-Divine warriors did not fare any better.


    Even the black-robed elder managed only a brief resistance before being directly torn apart by the nine Yellow Dragons.


    Vanquished!


    In less than three seconds, all of Jiang Lei¡¯s guards were slain, and even the dozen Flying Heaven level protectors on the warship¡¯s deck were wiped out.


    ¡°Now, only you are left.¡± Li Yuan looked at Jiang Lei, his seemingly calm gaze instilling chilling terror and endless fear in Jiang Lei.


    Jiang Lei had a feeling.


    In the next second, he was going to be killed.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan.¡± Li Yuan turned to the shocked silver-armored girl: ¡°The decision to kill him or not is yours to make.¡±

 Chapter 756 03-25 - 756 401 Identity The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent

    ?Chapter 756: Chapter 401: Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent Chapter 756: Chapter 401: Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent ¡°`


    Huff!


    A silver chain appeared in the void, agile like a silver serpent, binding Jiang Lei¡ªwho was already immobilized by domain suppression¡ªwithout any room for resistance.


    Thump!


    Jiang Lei, trussed up like a rice dumpling, was flung from his warship and dropped onto the warship where Jiang Xuan was.


    Then came a rumbling sound~


    The vast domain that previously spread across several kilometers began to rapidly retract, and the nine Yellow Dragons also shrank drastically, zipping towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Nowadays, merely with my domain, I can easily slay Semi-Divine Initial Rank martial artists,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Two years ago, during the Feixing great battle, Li Yuan¡¯s Heaven and Earth River Domain, along with the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, was already powerful enough to suppress Semi-Divine Middle Rank experts, and once he commenced an attack, apart from the domain, the eruption of the nine Yellow Dragons was akin to the might of Semi-Divine Initial Rank martial artists.


    Two years had passed.


    Although Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power remained at level 38.9, his comprehension of the Laws had enhanced across the board compared to two years ago.


    Take for instance, the Wind Law and Earth Law seemed to remain at the initial phase of Seventh Stage, but could the initial phase at 1% and at 29% be the same?


    What indeed greatly enhanced the might of Li Yuan¡¯s domain was the integration with the Mysteries of Space.


    Continual delving into space made it so that whether Li Yuan deployed his Domain Star Technique Heaven and Earth River, or the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, the might of each had noticeably improved.


    Now, even Semi-Divine Peak experts within Li Yuan¡¯s domain would face extremely significant suppression, let alone several newly advanced demigods and those at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    No matter how many came, that was how many he could kill.


    Li Yuan¡¯s close-combat Spear Technique was still in the accumulation phase, and he had yet to fathom the fourth move of the Boundary Cloud Spear. Compared to two years ago, his close-combat prowess hadn¡¯t fundamentally changed, but in other respects, his abilities were improving rapidly.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan completely withdrew his domain, and what also disappeared along with it were the numerous treasures left by the fallen demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Even the Storage Treasure that Jiang Lei carried on him had been directly looted by Li Yuan just now.


    It could be said that other than that sizable warship, all the loot that could be taken from Jiang Lei¡¯s squad had been taken by Li Yuan.


    No helping it¡ªbroke!


    Naturally, Li Yuan had to find a way to collect some treasures.


    The treasures left behind by those few demigods added up to be worth hundreds of Fangshen Crystals, not too trifling an amount.


    ¡°Me?¡± Jiang Lei lay on the ground, looking at the nonchalant Li Yuan with a face full of terror.


    He really wanted to beg for mercy, but he simply could not speak.


    The Divine Artifact Chains not only sealed his limbs but also directly sealed the Origin Power within his Star Meridians, sealed his six senses, even suppressed certain soul fluctuations, making it very difficult to self-destruct or send out a Soul Transmission Sound.


    Otherwise, why would it be called a Divine Artifact?


    If Jiang Lei were a demigod, the Divine Artifact Chains would still struggle to suppress a Soul Transmission Sound, but after all, he was only at the Flying Heaven Level.


    Therefore, Jiang Lei was unable to beg for mercy, he couldn¡¯t even hear the outside world; he could only signal frantically with his eyes.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, have you thought it through?¡± Li Yuan turned his head to look at the silver-armored young girl and transmitted his voice to her.


    For this kind-hearted Royal Family princess, Li Yuan still had quite a favorable impression.


    Even if one is not kind themselves, they often hope others are kind; such is human nature.


    ¡°Me!¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s heart jolted, realizing only now that the oppressive aura on her had vanished without a trace. She was incredibly shocked as she looked at Li Yuan and then at Jiang Lei, who was already lying on the deck of the warship.


    She couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan.


    Earlier, when facing the onslaught of Jiang Lei¡¯s squad, she had felt somewhat hopeless, even imagining the scenario where she would be captured and humiliated.


    But what she was most worried about at that time was the safety of Xu Guo and the others; she truly didn¡¯t want her guards to fall.


    Yet, she¡¯d never imagined.


    That the Flying Heaven Warrior, whom she thought was simply an unlucky fellow receiving her care out of charity, would possess such terrifying strength.


    Newly advanced demigods who comprehended the Laws were instantly slain.


    Not just Jiang Xuan. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The burly Xu Guo and several armored warriors were also shocked to their core.


    ¡°Too terrifying.¡±


    ¡°With such strength, to instantly kill three demigods, this man named Xu Yuan¡­ oh no, Lord Xu Yuan is too frightening.¡±


    ¡°That nine Yellow Dragons just now, I felt like they were nine real Semi-Divine True Dragons.¡± These armored warriors all held their breath.


    On Jue Xing Continent, the strong are revered.


    Even if they are from great clans, even if they are descendants of the divine, they do not earn as much respect as real powerhouses.


    And without a doubt, at this moment, Li Yuan was a true powerhouse in their eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m really stupid, seriously, I just thought he was a silly little guy who got lucky and made it deep into the Inner Domain,¡± Xu Guo thought with trepidation, the more formidable he was, the more he understood how terrifying the methods Li Yuan had just used: ¡°I never thought that he would be such a super expert.¡±


    ¡°He must not be level 34; the Body Refining Star Technique he just used, I fear is the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique¡­¡±


    ¡°But whether it¡¯s me or the demigods under Jiang Lei¡¯s command, we all failed to see through his disguise¡­ Could it be that he too is a newly crowned demigod with extremely high Law Comprehension?¡±


    ¡°But for a demigod to disguise as a Flying Heaven Realm¡­ How powerful must his Breath Concealing Technique be?¡± A myriad of thoughts flew through Xu Guo¡¯s mind: ¡°Or, he is an extremely terrifying fighter of the Flying Heaven Realm, but to unleash such strength as Flying Heaven? How monstrous that would be.¡±


    ¡°Even Prince Jiang Shan, with Seven Star Veins, a top-tier prodigy among the current Royal Family, whose power is so strong it¡¯s almost Pseudo-God, didn¡¯t compare at Flying Heaven Level, right?¡±


    Xu Guo¡¯s perspective wasn¡¯t low.


    But in a short time, he couldn¡¯t figure out Li Yuan¡¯s ins and outs.


    ¡°Princess,¡± Xu Guo sent a transmission: ¡°Be cautious in your dealings, I suspect Xu Yuan is a top-tier genius of the Flying Heaven Seven Star Veins, and his Law Comprehension must be exceptionally high, too. He must have also deployed a powerful Divine Artifact just now; he definitely has some background and history.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s possible he comes from one of the hidden Great Sects, but he seems to have a good impression of Your Highness.¡± Xu Guo communicated telepathically: ¡°If he is willing to help you, we will definitely be able to complete the trial task.¡±


    At this moment, Xu Guo was still thinking about Jiang Xuan¡¯s trial task.


    ¡°Uncle Guo, I have my own judgment.¡± Jiang Xuan responded, her mind somewhat in turmoil.


    ¡­Seeing that Jiang Xuan did not respond, Li Yuan did not rush to ask further, knowing she needed some time to digest the situation.


    Li Yuan was checking the treasures left behind by the Demigods and the Flying Heaven Warriors in the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°There are quite a few weapons and elixirs.¡±


    ¡°There are also quite a few heads of Flying Heaven Level Ferocious Beasts¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s soul was incredibly powerful, breaking the unclaimed seals on Storage Treasures with ease.


    He cracked several Storage Treasures in succession.


    Unfortunately, they did not contain what Li Yuan was looking for.


    ¡°There are plenty of treasures, but no books or message crystals?¡±


    ¡°Do they not read?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, though he understood that Flying Heaven Warriors, with their strong memories, didn¡¯t particularly need books.


    ¡°Xu, Senior Xu Yuan.¡± Jiang Xuan was quite nervous and couldn¡¯t help but speak out. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Senior?¡± Li Yuan looked towards the somewhat uneasy Jiang Xuan and smiled, ¡°Jiang Xuan, by status, you are nobler than me, and I¡¯m probably not much older than you are. Just keep calling me Xu Yuan, like before.¡±


    ¡°Not much older than me?¡± Jiang Xuan was slightly surprised, as if she had realized something: ¡°Then I will call you Brother Xu.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded, no longer dwelling on the form of address.


    It wasn¡¯t important.


    ¡°Brother Xu, I want to thank you for this time. Without you, Uncle Guo and the others would have probably had a hard time surviving,¡± Jiang Xuan said sincerely.


    ¡°But for Jiang Lei, I still hope you would release him,¡± Jiang Xuan pointed at the bound Jiang Lei on the ground.


    Jiang Lei couldn¡¯t hear the exchange between the two, growing more anxious by the moment.


    ¡°Release him? Are you sure? He just tried to capture you,¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    ¡°He planned to capture me but probably didn¡¯t intend to kill me,¡± Jiang Xuan shook her head: ¡°I know Brother Xu is trying to protect me. But his father is the Shadow Blade Marquis, a Pseudo-God of my Abyss Country¡¯s Royal Family¡­ Brother Xu, you¡¯re not a mighty one from my Abyss Country, are you?¡±


    Li Yuan just smiled and shook his head without further explanation.


    ¡°Brother Xu¡¯s strength, I guess, is that of a disciple from one of the hidden Great Sects out on a journey to temper himself,¡± Jiang Xuan said: ¡°I¡¯ve read some books and seen many such legends¡­ Peerless geniuses concealing their identity, wandering the lands, and ultimately becoming True Gods, founding their own Divine Kingdoms.¡±


    ¡°I know Brother Xu can¡¯t reveal his identity, consider it my wild guess,¡± Jiang Xuan smiled, her heart relaxing a bit during the conversation.


    Li Yuan, hearing this, chose not to explain his origins any further, leaving her to her imagination.


    ¡°Would killing him let the Shadow Blade Marquis know the true perpetrator?¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say,¡± Jiang Xuan shook her head: ¡°The Abyss Demon Blood Den is a special secret realm, absolutely sealed off, not even Pseudo-Gods can break in, let alone spy¡­ But there are no walls in the world that are completely impenetrable, perhaps the Divine have special methods of Inquiry.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu may not fear the Shadow Blade Marquis, but this is the Territory of my Abyss Country, there¡¯s no need to invite trouble,¡± Jiang Xuan said: ¡°If Brother Xu trusts me, shall I handle it?¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    If this were outside the Abyss Demon Blood Den, he would have killed him outright.


    What of a Divine¡¯s offspring? Kill and run, the world is vast, and even the Divine would be powerless to catch him.


    But this was Abyss Country¡¯s turf, so caution was warranted.


    Li Yuan waved his hand, loosening some of Jiang Lei¡¯s seals, allowing him to hear outside and allowing him to speak.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, spare me! Please, mercy!¡± Jiang Lei hurriedly pleaded, a complete change from his demeanor before.


    ¡°Jiang Lei, shut up!¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu is a good friend my brother made in the Starry Sky Ancient City; he happened to come to Abyss Country, and my brother asked him to protect me,¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s voice was icy: ¡°I didn¡¯t want to reveal Brother Xu¡¯s presence just now; you forced my hand.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve recorded everything about your attempt to assassinate me¡­ but for Brother Xu¡¯s sake, I will not report it,¡± Jiang Xuan glared at him: ¡°I just asked Brother Xu to spare your life.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m warning you, don¡¯t leak the existence of Brother Xu¡­ If it gets out, not only you but even your father may be implicated.¡±


    Li Yuan was surprised to hear this on the side.


    And Jiang Lei was frightened, Jiang Xuan¡¯s big brother¡¯s friend? From the Starry Sky Ancient City? A surname Xu?


    Instantly!


    ¡°Is it the peerless monster from the Starry Sky Ancient City tempering himself through trial?¡± Jiang Lei thought of various possibilities.


    The key was Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying strength on display, which in turn substantiated his guesses, sending a chill down his spine.


    Starry Sky Ancient City, that was a place said to possess unrivaled power, even above the three thousand Divine Kingdoms of the continent.


    Though Jiang Lei was a Divine offspring, he only had a vague understanding of the Starry Sky Ancient City, not even qualified to visit.


    As far as Jiang Lei knew, every few years the Divine Kingdoms would select top geniuses to go to the Starry Sky Ancient City, but the vast majority would not receive approval¡­ The official members of the Starry Sky Ancient City, as legends had it, all were Divine.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Lei felt even colder inside.


    ¡°Brother Xu, please let him go,¡± Jiang Xuan respectfully asked Li Yuan.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan said coldly, his expression indifferent but his heart calm, and retracted the Divine Artifact Chains.


    ¡°Jiang Lei, get out of here,¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    Whoosh!


    In a panic, Jiang Lei immediately turned into a streak of light, flying into his warship, quickly piloting it away.


    A Storage Treasure?


    Having convinced himself of Li Yuan¡¯s identity, all he wanted was to escape quickly, fearing Li Yuan would change his mind and kill him again, where could he dare to hope to get his Storage Treasure back.


    ¡­On Jiang Xuan¡¯s warship.

    ?Chapter 758: Chapter 401 Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent_3 Chapter 758: Chapter 401 Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent_3 ¡°Brother Xu, I¡¯m sorry, we could only resort to such a measure,¡± Jiang Xuan said. ¡°That Jiang Lei is just a prodigal son; these words should be enough to scare him off.¡±


    ¡°No worries,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    He had to admit, Jiang Xuan was clever; using intimidation, along with the display of his own strength, it was easy to frighten someone.


    Jiang Lei didn¡¯t die by his hand, so today¡¯s events wouldn¡¯t cause too much of an uproar.


    Just then.


    ¡°Lord Xu Yuan,¡± Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°With such strength, yet you came to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, could it be for the treasures within the forbidden land?¡±


    ¡°Forbidden land treasures?¡± Li Yuan muttered softly and then glanced at him: ¡°No, I was just traveling to Abyss Country and stumbled upon the opening of the Blood Den. After briefly understanding the rules, I wanted to take a look and broaden my horizons.¡±


    Since Jiang Xuan suspected that he was a disciple of some major sect, Li Yuan didn¡¯t mind pretending to be one.


    ¡°Uncle Guo!¡±


    Before Xu Guo had the chance to speak, Jiang Xuan¡¯s face suddenly showed anger: ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, the forbidden land is extremely dangerous, I will not go there again.¡±


    At once.


    Jiang Xuan looked towards Li Yuan, said with a bitter smile, ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, I¡¯m sorry, please don¡¯t listen to Uncle Guo¡¯s temptation. This trial in Source Devil Blood Cavern is quite peculiar, the forbidden land is very strange, not to be trifled with. I hope you won¡¯t blame Uncle Guo; he¡¯s only looking out for me.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts turned, and he quickly understood Xu Guo¡¯s intentions.


    The man probably wanted to use his strength to help Jiang Xuan complete the trial task.


    ¡°Xu Guo, you are a loyal guard, but your loyalty is misplaced,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently: ¡°Jiang Xuan is decent and I have some good feelings for her, willing to lend a hand, but that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m willing to take risks.¡±


    ¡°I came to the Abyss Demon Blood Den just to have a look around, other matters, forget it.¡±


    ¡°If you want to venture into that so-called forbidden place, then we shall part ways here,¡± Li Yuan said directly.


    Li Yuan did not want to take too great of a risk in the Abyss Demon Blood Den but wanted to wait safely until he could leave, then slowly find ways to explore the Jue Xing Continent.


    ¡°Lord.¡±


    Xu Guo¡¯s complexion changed slightly as he bowed and said, ¡°I¡¯m wrong, I will listen to everything Your Highness says, I hope you¡¯ll forgive me.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly and did not blame him further.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, let¡¯s continue towards the Outer Realm,¡± Jiang Xuan said, ¡°The Outer Realm has the fewest ferocious beasts and is relatively the safest.¡±


    ¡°No need, there may be more ferocious beasts in the Inner Domain, but fewer people, it¡¯s more tranquil,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡­


    Following Li Yuan¡¯s opinion.


    The warship Jiang Xuan piloted decided to continue forward in the Inner Domain.


    Xu Guo did not object; after all, with Li Yuan with them, their team was almost absolutely safe as long as they did not venture into the forbidden area.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan unlocked all the Storage Treasures he had acquired as spoils of war, including the two belonging to Jiang Lei, obtaining a vast number of items.


    For those weapons, elixirs, and miscellaneous items, Li Yuan mostly didn¡¯t care for them and casually set them aside.


    However.


    Li Yuan finally found more than ten ¡®Message Crystal Stones¡¯, most containing cultivation method messages, but there were also several crystals imbued with common knowledge and some historical legends of the Jue Xing Continent.


    He didn¡¯t need those cultivation method messages; after all, he had received the True God Heritage from two entities and hardly lacked anything.


    But that common knowledge was precisely what Li Yuan urgently needed.

    ¡°Legends of the Hundred Most Powerful True Gods of the Continent¡±


    ¡°The Magical Jue Xing Divine Pill¡±


    ¡­


    Within several seemingly insignificant crystal stones, Li Yuan¡¯s soul and Divine Sense quickly received a wealth of information.


    All were details he had not obtained while interrogating those of Flying Heaven Level.


    Clearly, as a member of the Royal Family, Jiang Lei had access to richer and more secretive information.


    While chatting with Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo, Li Yuan perused the intelligence with part of his consciousness.


    Gradually.


    Li Yuan formed a certain conception and understanding of the whole Abyss Country, the Jue Xing Continent, and even the legendary Starry Sky Ancient City.


    The Starry Sky Ancient City, located in the endless starry space, was the source and beginning of the continent¡¯s civilization.


    There are a total of three Starry Sky Ancient Cities!


    Legend has it that the earliest creatures on the continent descended from the Starry Sky Ancient City, proliferating and eventually spreading civilization across the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    Besides these.


    Li Yuan finally learned about a treasure that interested him¡ªthe Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    The Jue Xing Divine Pill is a Supreme Treasure only owned by one of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities ¨C Jue Xing City¡­ Many Divine Kingdoms and Jue Xing Ancient City trade treasured relics to obtain the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    The Jue Xing Divine Pill, precious beyond measure!


    Incredibly magical!


    Its effect, just like its name, can help Cultivators activate more Life Stars and Star Veins, but how exactly it aids is not recorded in the crystal stones.


    Its value? Likewise unlisted.


    It only mentioned that even if one obtains the Jue Xing Divine Pill, there are difficulties in consumption, and it¡¯s not something that can be used limitlessly.


    Because of the existence of the Jue Xing Divine Pill, the Jue Xing Continent has, over the long years, given birth to many unrivalled beings with Semi-Divine Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins, and even Nine Star Veins.


    ¡­¡±Nine Star Veins? Has the Jue Xing Continent really produced Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins?¡± Li Yuan was quite astonished in his heart.


    In the Divine Realm, a Semi-Divine Seven Stars Meridian is already considered a genius, and they are not numerous; usually, each Star Domain would have a batch.


    Semi-Divine Eight Star Veins are extremely rare; usually, as long as their Law Talent is not too poor, they can become disciples of Heavenly Divine and becoming a True God is almost a certainty. Once they are True Gods, their strength is often exceedingly formidable within the ranks of True Gods.

    Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins? In the Divine Realm, it¡¯s almost the stuff of legends.


    ¡°According to Little Ice¡¯s previous words, in the history of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, there were nine recorded Semi-Divine beings with Nine Star Pulse, among which five were Second Rank Eight Star Veins, and only four evolved from Second Rank Seven Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan mused silently.


    Second Rank Eight Star Veins would almost all awaken the Nine Star Pulse before ascending to godhood.


    The vast majority of those with Second Rank Seven Star Veins, however, would end at Eight Star Veins, with only a very few reaching the Nine Star Pulse.


    ¡°Of those nine historic figures with Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins in the Heavenly Serpent Clan history, aside from the two that perished during their True God phase, the remaining seven all eventually ascended to Heavenly God,¡± Li Yuan sighed to himself, ¡°and there was even one who surpassed the Heavenly Divine, becoming the most magnificent existence in the history of the Heavenly Serpent Clan.¡±


    Because of that magnificent being who surpassed the Heavenly Gods,


    its bloodline descendants evolved upon the basis of Heaven Snake to give rise to the ¡®Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent,¡¯ a top-tier Divine Beast bloodline.


    ¡­


    Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins hold the highest level of Star Vein Talent even in the Divine Realm.


    Their emergence would always lead to a fierce scramble among numerous Heavenly Divines, who wish to take the possessor as a disciple.


    Jue Xing Continent, though vast and boundless, is still less than one ten-thousandth the size of the Divine Realm¡­ to think that a Nine Star Vein could be born here?


    Receiving such information naturally took Li Yuan by surprise.


    To learn more, Li Yuan subtly brought up this legendary figure during his conversations with Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Senior Gu Yun.¡±


    Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes reflected reverence, ¡°Brother Xu, that¡¯s a legend of the whole continent.¡±


    ¡°The legend has it that back in the day, Senior Gu Yun was once a member of a Starry Sky Ancient City yet refused to conform and was exiled, wandering and honing his skills across the continent. Astonishingly, he awakened the Nine Star Pulse and rapidly became a True God¡­ and established a Divine Kingdom,¡± Jiang Xuan said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s said that later on, Senior Gu Yun even cultivated to a level beyond the True Gods and led many Divine Kingdoms to wage war against the Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡±


    ¡°He marched towards the depths of the starry heavens!¡±


    ¡°Engaging in war with the Starry Sky Ancient City?¡± Li Yuan found the idea shockingly ambitious.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, though.¡±


    ¡°I have searched through numerous records, which mention Gu Yun¡¯s war against the Starry Sky Ancient City, but nowhere is the outcome recorded; it¡¯s unknown who won,¡± Jiang Xuan said, shaking her head, ¡°but these deeds are from tens of millions of years ago, and the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities still stand¡­ It¡¯s likely that Senior Gu Yun was ultimately defeated, and that part of history has been erased.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    By now, he began to doubt whether the ¡®Starry Sky Ancient City¡¯ on Jue Xing Continent was indeed one of the Starry Sky Ancient Cities in the Divine Realm.


    Should that speculation be true, then it would be normal for Senior Gu Yun to fail¡­ Even a Heavenly Divine would find it hard to shake a Starry Sky Ancient City.


    On the warship.


    ¡°Brother Xu, you should still be at the Flying Heaven Level,¡± Jiang Xuan asked curiously, ¡°May I ask how many Star Meridians you have awakened?¡±


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Li Yuan responded with a smile.


    ¡°You must be of the Seven Star Meridian,¡± Jiang Xuan asserted seriously, ¡°otherwise it would be impossible to possess such formidable strength.¡±


    ¡°My brother, when he was in the Flying Heaven Realm, wasn¡¯t nearly as strong as you,¡± added Jiang Xuan.


    Li Yuan revealed a smile but did not answer.


    Through previous exchanges, Li Yuan had learned that Jiang Xuan¡¯s brother, named Jiang Shan, seemed to be a top-level prodigy of the younger generation in the Abyss Country¡¯s Royal Family, claimed to be the number one Semi-Divine in Abyss Country, with the Seven Star Meridian awakened.


    Exactly because of this, even after their father perished ten years ago, their entire family remained prosperous, relying on her big brother.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, Jiang Shan¡¯s strength was probably slightly stronger than Principal Fang Hai, considering the longer cultivation time.


    While they were talking.


    Suddenly.


    Some tens of kilometers away in the canyon where the warship was sailing, an astonishing fluctuation erupted on the mountainside, followed by rocks and earth flying in disarray, revealing a gigantic cave.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A group of ferocious beasts emitting savage and powerful auras burst forth from the cave.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°Semi Divine Level ferocious beasts.¡±


    ¡°So many, nine Semi-Divine Level beasts?¡±


    ¡°Why would so many Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts appear in the Outer Realm? It is quite rare for this to happen internally.¡± Xu Guo and Jiang Xuan¡¯s faces changed, and they instantly thought of a possibility ¡ª a Blood Disaster!


    Once a Blood Disaster erupts, a large number of Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts, along with the most terrifying ¡®Blood Demon¡¯ within the Abyss Demon Blood Den, would sweep through the entire Abyss Demon Blood Den, slaughtering countless Trialists.


    Normally, out of two hundred thousand Trialists, only twenty percent would survive and leave.


    But if a Blood Disaster occurs, then the percentage of surviving Trialists might sadly be only one!


    ¡°Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts?¡± A look of curiosity flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes; this was the first time he had encountered Semi-Divine Level beasts.

    ?Chapter 760: Chapter 402: Escape! Encirclement from All Sides Chapter 760: Chapter 402: Escape! Encirclement from All Sides Li Yuan had been wandering in the Outer Realm and Inner Domain previously, encountering only Flying Heaven Level ferocious beasts. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But Semi-Divine Level beasts normally appear in forbidden regions, only occasionally venturing out to the edges.


    The Inner Domain? You would hardly see any Semi-Divine Level beasts.


    ¡°These Semi-Divine Level beasts, their Life Breath isn¡¯t particularly strong; Inquiry shows they are level 40, 41.¡± Li Yuan had already deployed Divine Palace Exploration to confirm the Life Level of these emerging beasts.


    ¡°[¡­Slaying them will yield Spirituality Nourishment].¡±


    ¡°It seems they are real living creatures, not puppets like the Flying Heaven Level beasts,¡± Li Yuan thought, many ideas flashing through his mind: ¡°But it¡¯s uncertain whether the Spirituality Nourishment received from killing them is as much as from slaying a normal Semi-Divine expert.¡±


    Since the Soul Will had not broken through, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Awakening Level had always been capped at 80%. Even if he killed a Demigod, it would only remind him to obtain Spirituality Nourishment without showing the exact amount.


    ¡°If the chance arises, there may be an opportunity for a slaughter,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°By then, when my Soul undergoes Metamorphosis to reach the Void God Realm and my Spiritual Awakening Level limit reaches 85% or even 90%, I can directly surge to the limit.¡±


    Even if reaching the limit of Spiritual Awakening, one could continuously accumulate Spirituality Nourishment.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°To suddenly come across more than ten Semi-Divine Level beasts, could this indeed be the Blood Disaster referred to by Jiang Xuan and the others?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    Blood Disaster sweeps across the entire Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    ¡°Sixteen Semi-Divine Level beasts?¡±


    ¡°With so many, it must be a Blood Disaster burst, but it hasn¡¯t even been twenty occurrences since the last one, could it come this quickly?¡± Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the rest wore changing expressions.


    They were not that afraid of the dozen or so Semi-Divine Level beasts, after all, they had the highly skilled Li Yuan with them.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s displayed strength, slaying these Semi-Divine Level beasts shouldn¡¯t be hard.


    But the true terror of Blood Disaster lies in the ¡®Blood Demons¡¯, capable of causing any Flying Heaven Level to lose their will to resist.


    ¡°Brother Xu, it must be the Blood Disaster burst; we need to escape the Inner Domain quickly,¡± Jiang Xuan hurriedly transmitted: ¡°From the forbidden lands to the Inner Domain, then to the Outer Realm, the danger decreases gradually¡­ Only by fleeing to the Outer Realm can we have a greater hope of survival.¡±


    ¡°I know you have great strength, but based on the intelligence we¡¯ve acquired, killing these Semi-Divine Level beasts, the more you kill, the more it will attract other Semi-Divine Level beasts to besiege us, and if we provoke a Blood Demon, it¡¯s all over,¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s voice was urgent.


    She was worried Li Yuan would take action directly.


    Xu Guo and several Armored Warriors couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan, waiting for his command.


    Though subordinates of Jiang Xuan, at such life-and-death moments, they tend to follow the strongest.


    Of course, if the strongest one made a ¡®suicidal move¡¯, that would be the exception.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± said Li Yuan.


    Boom!


    The Void Warship immediately moved, Xu Guo controlling the warship, its speed began to surge, quickly fleeing toward the other end of the gorge.


    At this moment, the sixteen Semi-Divine Level beasts, emerging from the cave, had already sensed Li Yuan, Jiang Xuan, and their Life Breath¡­ In their perception, these were Blood Feast.


    Their mission was to kill all this Blood Feast.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The sixteen Semi-Divine Level beasts, with their towering and fierce might, more horrifying than the hundreds of Flying Heaven Level beasts before, turned into streaks of light, chasing like lightning.


    Among these Semi-Divine Level beasts, there were two that resembled bats, exceptionally swift, their surfaces diffusely emitting a blue glow, dazzling to the eye.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°There are two Wind System beasts faster than our warship,¡± Xu Guo¡¯s face changed, saying, ¡°Brother Xu, Your Highness, I am not adept at controlling the warship.¡±


    Li Yuan frowned slightly.


    This Void Warship, if at full speed, would be faster than the flight of a Semi-Divine expert¡­ Alas, Xu Guo did not cultivate the True Meaning of Wind.


    ¡°If I were to control the ship, I should be able to shake them off, but I would need some time to refine the warship¡¯s core,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Even with his strength, he couldn¡¯t instantly refine a Semi Divine Artifact.


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± The two bat-like beasts quickly closed in.


    Jiang Xuan and others became even more anxious.


    ¡°Prepare to retract the warship, don¡¯t resist,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice echoed in their minds.


    Swoosh! With a wave of his hand, another long shuttle appeared next to the original warship, its surface emitting a hazy glow, resembling nebulae.


    A Divine Artifact¡ªNebula Extreme Sky Shuttle!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Xu Guo, a Semi-Divine, reacted swiftly, collected his own warship into the Storage Magical Treasure with a wave of his hand, and promptly felt an invisible force enveloping him.


    He, along with Jiang Xuan and several Armored Warriors, were brought into the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle by Li Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    The speed of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning, far surpassing the flight speed of the two Wind System beasts and leaving them far behind.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°Such tremendous speed.¡±


    ¡°What kind of warship is this?¡± Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo were both shocked. They could still observe the outside from inside the warship and naturally noticed the terrifying speed of the long shuttle, more than twice as fast as their own warships.


    Twice the speed? Absolutely frightening!


    A Semi-Divine Peak expert¡¯s flight speed was merely so.


    ¡°My warship,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently.


    ¡°`


    In fact, with Li Yuan¡¯s current understanding of the Wind Law and the Mysteries of Space, if he were to operate at full strength, the velocity of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle could be increased by more than fifty percent.


    After all, the theoretical ¡®extreme speed¡¯ of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle surpasses even the Pseudo-God Peak. Right now, Li Yuan has only tapped into a small portion of its might.


    Whoosh!


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s full control, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, less than twenty meters in length, darted away like an agile fish, swiftly evading the pursuit of more than ten Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts.


    ¡­


    In the deepest reaches of the Abyss Demon Blood Den, within the forbidden area.


    Two powerful consciousnesses were exchanging thoughts.


    ¡°How effective is the Blood Calamity?¡± inquired a consciousness from the forbidden area.


    ¡°Very effective. It was indeed a wise decision to deploy a large number of our offspring to the Inner Domain and Outer Realm. The slaughter efficacy has immediately increased,¡± the consciousness from the earth responded. ¡°At this rate, we can exterminate all the Blood Feasts within a day.¡±


    ¡°Leave some behind. Keep to the previous ratio, one percent,¡± suggested the consciousness from the forbidden area. ¡°If we exterminate them all, I fear no one will be willing to enter again.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± replied the earth consciousness.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Huh! Interesting!¡± The earth consciousness exclaimed in surprise.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°My offspring have found something interesting¡ªa warship capable of reaching the Semi-Divine Peak Level,¡± the earth consciousness replied. ¡°It must be a formidable Divine Artifact¡­ The worth of an artifact depends on how well it¡¯s utilized. It appears we have a capable Flying Heaven Level being here; uncertain if it¡¯s operated by a demigod.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± The consciousness from the forbidden area was also curious. ¡°From what you¡¯re implying, seize it with full effort?¡±


    ¡°According to the master¡¯s command, life¡ªimbued with the essence of heaven and earth¡ªthe more formidable the Flying Heaven Level being, the more essence their Soul Spirit and flesh hold¡­ to kill them would be greatly beneficial.¡±


    ¡°Besides, such a formidable artifact is worth perhaps hundreds of Fangshen Crystals¡­ Accumulating bit by bit, our master would be pleased as well,¡± replied the earth consciousness.


    Both consciousnesses, secretly collected treasures from the Trialists they killed, though they usually did it inconspicuously.


    ¡°I have instructed my offspring to attack from all directions. They cannot escape,¡± declared the earth consciousness confidently. ¡°First, we¡¯ll annihilate them before going after other Blood Feasts.¡±


    ¡­


    In a dim canyon.


    After evading another group of ferocious beasts, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle slowed down and landed among a cluster of towering trees, concealing their tracks.


    ¡°The Blood Calamity has erupted.¡±


    ¡°Everywhere is unsafe,¡± remarked Xu Guo. ¡°Whether moving forward or backward, we might encounter other hordes of ferocious beasts. It¡¯s better to stay put.¡±


    ¡°How fortunate we have Master Xu Yuan,¡± Xu Guo said with eyes full of admiration.


    The armored warriors felt the same way.


    ¡°It¡¯s a small matter,¡± Li Yuan responded calmly.


    ¡°What a pity, this Blood Calamity¡­ who knows how many Trialists will perish because of it, the survivors are probably less than one in a hundred,¡± Jiang Xuan murmured softly, disliking the act of slaughter deep in her bones.


    However, she quickly recovered and looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Brother Xu, you¡¯ve saved me once again.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m also saving myself,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, then his tone shifted, ¡°There are ten days left until the end of the trial. Will this Blood Calamity continue throughout?¡±


    Li Yuan estimated that if it persisted, like a tidal wave, the hordes of ferocious beasts would probably wipe out all Trialists in the Abyss Demon Blood Den¡­ After all, this was the lair of the beasts, they were very familiar with the terrain.


    With the invisible Origin Power Array enveloping them, Trialists could hardly move mountains, even Li Yuan found it difficult.


    One could only proceed through fixed canyon passages.


    But what about the beasts? They could carve passages through the mountains, obviously taking advantage of the terrain.


    ¡°It usually lasts one or two days,¡± Jiang Xuan replied helplessly. ¡°Actually, people have always suspected that the entire Abyss Demon Blood Den is secretly controlled by an unseen force¡­ Many suspect it to be the upper echelons of Abyss Country.¡±


    ¡°The high ranks of Abyss Country?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Xu Guo also added, ¡°although it has never been proven, it is also the origin of the word ¡®Abyssal Demon¡¯ in the name of the Blood Den.¡±


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    It sounded like many citizens of Abyss Country had a lot of complaints about the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    Regrettably, with great power concentrated among a few, it¡¯s destined that the higher-ups of Abyss Country wouldn¡¯t pay much attention to the thoughts of the common folk.


    As Li Yuan knew, in the Divine Realm, some mighty Heavenly Divine beings ruling over vast starry territories with millions of Life Planets under their command, all were in total slavery¡­ regularly sacrificing a large number of Life Planets.


    Even labeled as ¡®Demon Gods¡¯!!


    Yet, those Heavenly Divine beings continued to live freely and at ease, all relying on their formidable power¡­ The rule of Abyss Country was already comparatively peaceful.


    Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had elapsed.


    The canyon was very quiet.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly had a premonition, and instantly sensed large numbers of figures emerging in the passages on both sides of the canyon, all moving at an astonishing speed.

 Chapter 761 03-25 - 761 403 Heavenly Divine Relics

    ?Chapter 761: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics Chapter 761: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics ¡°Boom!¡± Another mountain range in a different direction exploded, and a gigantic arm hundreds of meters long stretched out from the heavens and earth, with countless dirt and rocks scattering.


    Another Blood Demon!


    The emergence of two Blood Demons made the oppressive might filling the air even more terrifying.


    ¡°This!!¡±


    ¡°To have actually attracted a Blood Demon?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s face paled, and her heart was even more distressed: ¡°We should not have come for this trial; Uncle Fang, Uncle Guo, they¡¯re all going to die because of me.¡±


    ¡°And I¡¯ve also dragged down Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at Li Yuan, who still maintained a calm demeanor.


    ¡°Lord Xu Yuan hadn¡¯t even made a move to slaughter.¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this.¡± Xu Guo and the several Armored Warriors were even paler: ¡°According to the intelligence we have, such a thing has never happened in the past.¡±


    ¡°Or is it that it has happened before, but everyone who encountered it has died.¡±


    At this moment, they all believed they were doomed.


    Even if they still had faith in Li Yuan, after all, he was just at the Flying Heaven Realm. Even if his Domain might was strong, how powerful could his actual combat strength be?


    At most, he had the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak.


    But there were hundreds of Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts here, and two terrifyingly powerful Blood Demons as well.


    ¡°Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Xuan suddenly said anxiously: ¡°Let Uncle Guo and the others leave the Warship, desperately draw the attention of some Blood Demons¡­ and you take the opportunity to flee, maybe there¡¯s a slim chance of survival.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already thought about it.¡±


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s because you, Brother Xu, took action to save us, revealing your overwhelming strength, which led to the power behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den to target us, otherwise, such terrifying power would not be rounded up against us,¡± said Jiang Xuan hastily.


    She was extremely intelligent. In a very short period of time, she speculated on some possibilities¡­


    Xu Guo and the others couldn¡¯t help but look at Jiang Xuan, desperately fighting for a chance of survival for Li Yuan?


    Wasn¡¯t this sending oneself to their death?


    But none of them said anything, because, even if they didn¡¯t send themselves to their death, they were likely not going to survive anyway.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, your intentions are appreciated.¡± Li Yuan, who had always been calm, couldn¡¯t help but reveal a smile, turning his head to look at the Blood Demon that had already torn through the heavens and earth, revealing its entire form.


    ¡°Only, if we go by your deduction, since the power behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den targeted me because I took action, even if I were to escape by luck, I will probably still be hunted down.¡±


    ¡°Then what do we do?¡± Jiang Xuan was stunned; fighting desperately for Li Yuan was the best solution she had thought of.


    ¡°No need to do anything.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice remained indifferent, but his eyes emitted a hint of coldness: ¡°Just stay on the Warship and don¡¯t move.¡±


    In fact, Li Yuan was quite wary of the power behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    The fact that they could find him so quickly was enough to show that the opponent could possibly make inquiries throughout the Blood Den, or at least know his movements.


    And they could mobilize so much power.


    Many signs indicated that the strength behind it must be far superior to his own.


    ¡°But I have no choice now.¡±


    ¡°I barely took any action, and this power behind the scenes wants to round me up, this is unreasonable¡­ The Eternal Hall tasked me here, it couldn¡¯t possibly arrange a mission with such a high likelihood of failure.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts flickered in his mind: ¡°Moreover, if that power truly wanted to kill me, they should have been able to do so easily.¡±


    Why only send these Semi-Divine Level beings?


    Even the Blood Demons, terrifying in the minds of Xu Guo, Jiang Xuan, and others, under Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace Exploration, could be clearly judged for their level ¡ª 46th Tier!


    They posed little threat to Li Yuan¡¯s life.


    ¡°Two possibilities.¡±


    ¡°One, the power the behind the scenes agent can mobilize is limited.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was ice-cold: ¡°Two, the strength I displayed is very strong, so these Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts are specifically a test aimed at me.¡±


    Regardless of which, Li Yuan only knew one thing, he could no longer flee.


    The blood disaster would continue for at least another day or two; even if he fled now using the Starry Sky Extreme Sky Shuttle, he would likely be besieged again by more Blood Demons and Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts soon.


    ¡°Let¡¯s battle!¡±


    ¡°Sister, get ready.¡± Li Yuan sent a message to Gu You.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Gu You responded: ¡°I will always pay attention. At a critical moment, I will directly collect you into the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ but remember, this is the last step, under the meticulous inquiry of a Semi-Divine Peak Expert, the existence of the Ancient Divine Palace can be detected.¡±


    ¡°And a Pseudo-God Powerhouse can forcibly suppress the Ancient Divine Palace.¡±


    The Ancient Divine Palace was a True God Instrument, its might boundless, but only a True God could fully unleash its power.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan rushed directly into the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, immediately using the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± his body transformed into a ten-meter-tall form, his robust Origin Power surged into the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, which instantly enveloped him entirely in the Combat Armor.


    His entire being instantly became like a steel War God.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± In Li Yuan¡¯s right palm, a Divine Spear exuding an ancient aura appeared; it seemed to be made of bronze and its surface faintly glowed with a blood color. It was the ¡®Dark Star Divine Spear¡¯, reforged by Gu You and Qiu Bingzun.

    Although not as powerful as an Origin Divine Artifact, it was almost the strongest weapon Li Yuan had acquired among regularly forged Pseudo-God Artifacts.


    ¡°Want to battle?¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll accompany you in battle!¡± Killing intent surged as Li Yuan, wielding his Long Spear, burst forth like lightning, taking the initiative to attack the two Blood Demons nearly eight hundred meters tall.


    ¡°This kind of aura.¡±


    ¡°A spear? Seeing that he¡¯s holding a Long Spear makes me feel suffocated.¡±


    ¡°Is this Brother Xu¡¯s true strength?¡± On the Warship, Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo were both shocked as they watched this scene, a Flying Heaven Warrior, directly facing off against two Blood Demons?


    That was too outrageous.


    ¡°Why do I feel that Brother Xu¡¯s aura has a touch of greatness, just like my brother?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Stronger than Prince Jiang Shan.¡± S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 762 03-25 - 762 403 Heavenly Divine Relics_2

    ?Chapter 762: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_2 Chapter 762: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_2 Xu Guo directly said, ¡°Your Highness, this Mr. Xu Yuan¡¯s burst speed in an instant is much faster than that of Semi-Divine Peak, my speed doesn¡¯t even match half of his¡­ I even doubt if he is really at the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°If he truly is at the Flying Heaven Realm, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s even more formidable than most of the Flying Heaven beings in Starry Sky Ancient City,¡± Xu Guo continued.


    ¡°What?¡± A group of people were astonished.


    In the hearts of the high-level powerhouses on Jue Xing Continent, Starry Sky Ancient City is Heaven!


    The official members of Starry Sky Ancient City are all Divine beings.


    And Flying Heaven Realm, Semi Divine Realm reserve members¡­ It indicates that in the eyes of Starry Sky Ancient City¡¯s high echelons, these reserve members are at least hopeful in Becoming Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Or perhaps, he is one of the core members from Starry Sky Ancient City,¡± Xu Guo said.


    ¡°The fight is about to begin.¡±


    Hearing Xu Guo¡¯s explanation, Jiang Xuan and others sparked a glimmer of hope in their hearts.


    ¡­


    The Blood Demons, were like giants.


    Only their skin was thick and heavy, nearly resembling blood-colored rock, their bodies continuously emitted a slight fog of blood.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± To the left and right, two Blood Demons towering hundreds of feet tall, burst out of the ground and immediately exploded with force.


    Their momentum was like a rainbow, stepping on the Earth, their terrifying power causing the ground to shatter thunderously, stirring up countless boulders, before smashing them down hard on the trembling ground.


    They ferociously charged straight towards Li Yuan.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! A large number of Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts, with eyes flashing crimson, also killed towards Li Yuan, who was actively confronting them, like a tide following the two Blood Demons.


    No one bothered about the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    Clearly, both Blood Demons and the Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts had Li Yuan as their target.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Both Blood Demons suddenly opened their mouths and spewed out terrifying streams of blood-colored airflow. The fierce streams rapidly diffused, soon drowning the world, every plant in the reach of the blood-colored airflow began to wither at a rate visible to the naked eye.


    A great deal of blood-colored airflow tried to submerge Li Yuan.


    ¡°Domain?¡±


    ¡°What a joke.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s combat spirit soared to the sky, and with a thought, he commanded: ¡°Heaven and Earth River! Nine Dragons Xuan Armor!¡±


    Boom! Boom! Boom¡­ Nine Yellow Dragons emerged all at once, followed by the birth of a surging earthy-yellow airflow, as if a gaseous planet was rapidly expanding, its might overwhelming.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± In an instant, that extraordinary might of blood-colored airflow was completely submerged and crushed by the massive earthy-yellow airflow.


    For a moment, the vast Heaven and Earth River Domain completely enveloped the two Blood Demons.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Such fast speed, such a strong domain.¡±


    ¡°This Flying Heaven being has such a powerful domain?¡± Two powerful consciousnesses observing in secret were shocked.


    They can be said to be knowledgeable and experienced.


    Throughout the long years, those who came to venture into the Abyss Demon Blood Den at the Flying Heaven Level were definitely in the ¡®billions¡¯.


    But other than using Law Treasures, never has any Flying Heaven Level being revealed such a strong domain.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan displayed a super-strong domain and finally closed in.


    ¡°Roar~!!¡± The two Blood Demons were also suppressed by the Heaven and Earth River Domain, but their terrifying physical bodies endowed them with great strength. Even with a low Law Comprehension, even without deploying a domain, they still possessed Semi-Divine Peak strength.


    Only in this way could they easily kill those new Demi-Gods.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The arms of the Blood Demons were exceptionally long and thick, like pillars from heaven, smashing hard towards Li Yuan.


    The two Blood Demons represented four pillars of heaven.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Facing the attack of the two Blood Demons, Li Yuan had cold eyes, holding the spear by the tail with one hand and the middle with the other, directly sweeping across.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Long Spear drew a circle!


    A mere spear over ten meters long was incomparable to the arm-like pillars of heaven, but as the Long Spear danced, the surrounding Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble.


    The two Blood Demons felt the pressure of the surrounding domain rapidly changing, the invisible force, forcing them to react, even their forms began to destabilize.


    At this moment.


    The might of the Spear Technique suddenly erupted, space itself seemed to ripple, and the spear¡¯s body smashed directly onto one of the gigantic arms. Boom~ A large portion of the Blood Demon¡¯s sturdy arm burst apart, and flesh and bones splattered.


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡± The Long Spear swept and cleaved side-to-side, either smashing the other three Blood Demon arms to pieces or tearing a terrifying wound almost to the point of breaking.


    In a single exchange!


    The two Blood Demons were already severely wounded.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The two Blood Demons panicked instantly, the huge crimson eyes revealed a color of fear, anxiously retreating backward.


    Even with the Blood Demons¡¯ low intelligence, they still had the ability to discern strength. Undoubtedly, the enemy before them was far superior to them.


    ¡°Thinking of fleeing?¡±


    ¡°Too late!¡± Li Yuan moved again, his speed even more explosively increased from the original basis, directly reaching one of the Blood Demons, stepping on its chest, with a flash already reaching above the head of the Blood Demon.


    Simultaneously, he swung the Long Spear in his hand!


    ¡°Exterminate!¡±


    The Long Spear was dark and seemed as light as the breeze, yet it contained the might to pierce through heaven and earth.


    Boundary Cloud Spear third style¡ªGhost Valley!


    ¡°Boom!¡± With this thrust, the extremely tough head of the Blood Demon was directly punctured, followed by the Spear Light bursting, immediately causing blood and flesh to spray.


    Under the terrifying impact, the towering Blood Demon staggered backward, its head drenched in blood, looking fierce and appalling.


    ¡°A thrust, and still not dead?¡± Li Yuan was surprised, if it were any other Demi-God, they would have fallen to this spear thrust already.


    Semi-Divine Peaks can also be strong and weak. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Be aware, over the past two years, with continuous integration of the Mysteries of Space into his Spear Technique, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique might kept increasing, especially after acquiring the Dark Star Divine Spear, his Spear Technique might from two years ago at the initial Semi-Divine Peak level, has now nearly reached the Semi-Divine Limit.

 Chapter 763 03-25 - 763 403 Heavenly Divine Relics_3

    ?Chapter 763: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_3 Chapter 763: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_3 But what truly transformed for Li Yuan was the strangeness of his Spear Technique, the combination of Wind, Earth, and space, making his spear work terrifying whether in frontal assault, group combat, defense, or containment.


    ¡°If one spear isn¡¯t enough, then several more will do the job!¡±


    Li Yuan thrust his Long Spear forward, initiating invisible spatial fluctuations, directly shaking and deflecting the Blood Demon¡¯s newly half-regrown arm, causing the injury to worsen.


    Suddenly the Spear Light flickered.


    His entire body¡¯s Vigor erupted, and a torrent of earthen yellow streams surged from the heavens and earth, instantly forming nine enormous and terrifying spear phantoms.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Bang! Bang bang bang bang!¡± The nine consecutive spear phantoms all slammed onto the already injured spot on the Blood Demon¡¯s head, as if nine arrows in a rapid sequence, stacking their Might to a terrifying degree.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The Blood Demon¡¯s head could no longer withstand the blows, instantly bursting open, its huge body collapsing backwards.


    The Blood Demon, dead!


    ¡°Two years ago.¡±


    ¡°I was bestowed by the Origin Power Array, and even with the joint effort with Little Ice, it was extremely difficult to kill a Semi-Divine Peak Expert.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with pride: ¡°Now, by myself, I can swiftly kill a Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    The so-called Semi-Divine Peak, the division of Semi-Divine Limit, is generally seen only in terms of Attack Limit, Defense Limit, and so on.


    But real combat is multi-dimensional.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, if he were to face the Ye An Semi Divine, a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, he could easily restrain the opponent without harm to himself.


    ¡°I¡¯d like to see.¡±


    ¡°Whether you, the manipulator behind the scenes, can deploy a Pseudo-God level combatant.¡± Li Yuan gripped his Long Spear, fully committed, charging towards another Blood Demon that had escaped less than twenty kilometers away.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± A multitude of Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts, despite their fear of Li Yuan¡¯s prowess, madly charged under their master¡¯s command, attempting to cover the Blood Demon¡¯s retreat.


    If it were another Semi-Divine Peak Expert, he would certainly be hindered.


    But Li Yuan


    ¡°Swish!¡± A Straight Thrust with the Long Spear.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Or a sweep.


    ¡°Slash!¡± Or an angry chop!


    These Semi-Divine Level beasts, mere threshold combatants of Semi-Divine, occasionally of Semi-Divine Initial Rank strength, were relentlessly slaughtered by Li Yuan, with a shockingly rapid pace of Slaughter.


    In just a few seconds, dozens of Semi-Divine Level beasts had fallen, completely unable to block Li Yuan. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was a mere delivery of death!


    In truth, the nine Yellow Dragons roaming in his Domain could join forces and kill Semi-Divine Level beasts.


    ¡°Huff!¡± Li Yuan finally neared another Blood Demon, dual-wielding the spear, suddenly twisting his waist as the core, bending like a bow to unleash mighty force. The Long Spear fiercely smashed down on the Blood Demon.


    The Blood Demon¡¯s arm had not fully recovered, growing back only halfway and could only barely put up half an arm in a feeble attempt to block.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The sound of bones shattering.


    The terrifying Long Spear smashed down, instantly splintering the Blood Demon¡¯s arm, following through with the broken bones slamming onto its chest. The huge body of the Blood Demon couldn¡¯t stand upright, stumbling backwards as it spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    The injuries worsened.


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice cold as he thrust his Long Spear straight into its head, seeking to completely kill it.


    Just at that moment.


    ¡°Stop!¡± A voice of shock and anger rose.


    Immediately, large quantities of blood mist surged in the heavens and the Earth, coalescing into a vast face in the void. The terrifying visage, overlooking Li Yuan, yelled urgently: ¡°Stop, lad! I consider you to have passed the Blood Den trial! No need for more Slaughter, it¡¯s no good for you either.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice cold, as his gaze swept across: ¡°[The target¡¯s Life Level is 19.9]¡±


    Foolish tricks!


    Calling to stop now? What were you doing earlier!


    ¡°Scram!¡±


    Li Yuan uttered coldly, and instantly a wave of invisible air swept over, shredding the large face cleanly.


    If it were any other Flying Heaven Level or even Semi-Divine, they would be frightened by the intangible pressure the face exerted.


    But Li Yuan, with his Divine Palace Exploration, least fears those who put on airs.


    So far, Li Yuan had not encountered anyone who could evade Divine Palace Exploration.


    Li Yuan saw through it, the schemer behind the scenes was at their wit¡¯s end, only able to spew threats.


    Moreover, the unwillingness to sacrifice even a Semi-Divine Peak ferocious beast showed that the opponent¡¯s power was far less than he had imagined.


    ¡°Swoosh swoosh swoosh!¡±


    Like a flowing wave of Spear Light, the Blood Demon was instantly overwhelmed and utterly exterminated.


    ¡°[You have slain a Fourth Rank creature, obtained Spirituality Nourishment]¡± Another Divine Palace notification.


    The earlier slaying of the Blood Demon and Semi-Divine Level beasts had similar notifications.


    ¡°Having already offended, there is no need to show mercy.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately turned around, like a bolt of lightning, chasing after those Semi-Divine Level beasts that had begun to frantically flee.


    Unstoppable!


    If the two Blood Demons were defeated in an instant, what of these Semi-Divine Level beasts?


    Simply a death delivery,


    The manipulator behind the scenes naturally wouldn¡¯t make pointless sacrifices anymore, having already ordered the beasts to flee for their lives.


    Save whoever could be saved.


    For the will behind the scenes, nurturing Semi-Divine Level beasts was also quite troublesome.


    ¡­


    After another round of rampant Slaughter, taking down all the Semi-Divine Level beasts within sight.


    Li Yuan retracted his form, no longer maintaining the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ state, and swiftly returned to the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    Seeing Li Yuan fly back into the Warship.


    Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and those several Armored Warriors, still in a state of utter shock.


    My God!


    What had they witnessed? Two Blood Demons, commanding over three hundred Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts ¨C an immensely terrifying force ¨C yet casually swept away by Li Yuan in a remarkably short time.


    Such dreadful power.


    ¡°Amazing, Lord Xu Yuan, truly amazing.¡± Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, looking at Li Yuan with eyes full of adoration: ¡°A Flying Heaven Level, killing a Semi-Divine Peak Blood Demon?¡±

 Chapter 764 03-25 - 764 403 Heavenly Divine Relic_4

    ?Chapter 764: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relic_4 Chapter 764: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relic_4 ¡°You are definitely the strongest Flying Heaven Level I have ever seen, even the strongest Flying Heaven Realm in the history of Abyss Country cannot compare to you.¡±


    ¡°Even in the Starry Sky Ancient City, a genius like you would definitely be at the most core layer.¡±


    ¡°If you were in some Divine Kingdoms, or hidden great sects, you would undoubtedly be the number one of the younger generation.¡± Xu Guo went on to say.


    Obviously, as a protective guard of the Royal Family and previously having the qualifications to become Semi-Divine, he had a solid foundation and vision.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Core of the Starry Sky Ancient City?


    According to Qiu Bingzun, within the Divine Realm, due to the issue of cultivation time, his strength still wasn¡¯t considered top-tier for the Flying Heaven Level; some of the most terrifying geniuses at the Flying Heaven Level are able to have Eighth Stage Law Comprehension.


    But if we¡¯re talking about potential, even in the Wandao Divine Court and Chaos Divine Court of the Divine Realm, I would probably still be at the core.


    On the Jue Xing Continent?


    Li Yuan suspected that in the billions of years on the Jue Xing Continent, there have been only a few instances of someone with Second Rank Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Brother Xu, you¡­ you¡¯ve saved us again.¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s little face blushed red with excitement and joy.


    Just now, she thought she was definitely going to die.


    Unexpectedly, she lived on, filling her heart with gratitude.


    ¡°This time, it seems I¡¯ve involved you all.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I must be targeted by someone behind the scenes.¡±


    ¡°Behind the scenes?¡±


    ¡°Is it that huge face from before?¡± Jiang Xuan pressed.


    They had just been on the warship and saw that terrifying large face, with oppressive presence even stronger than that of a Blood Demon, yet Li Yuan blew it away in a single breath.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Then shall we leave this place? Might it be safer to go to the Outer Realm?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°As long as we don¡¯t leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den, that person behind the scenes can pinpoint our location.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Going to other places wouldn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    ¡°What should we do then?¡± Jiang Xuan was quite worried.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll stay right here.¡± Li Yuan said calmly with a hint of chill in his eyes, ¡°I want to see just how much power that person behind the scenes can mobilize to try to kill me.¡±


    Li Yuan had thought about making his way to the forbidden land but immediately dismissed the idea.


    Within the forbidden land, there might be deadly formations, and once trapped, that would be troublesome.


    Better to just stay put.


    Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo were shocked to hear this but after calming down, they also realized that what Li Yuan said made sense.


    Waiting here might well be the right thing to do.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan.¡± Li Yuan changed the topic, ¡°The one targeted by the person behind the scenes should be me, they may strike again, and if you continue to follow me, life and death are uncertain, but if you leave¡­ maybe you won¡¯t be besieged.¡±


    ¡°Leave?¡± Jiang Xuan was stunned, not expecting Li Yuan to suddenly bring this up.


    ¡°Lord Xu Yuan.¡± Beside them, Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I believe that person behind the scenes will hold a grudge.¡±


    ¡°Staying with you may offer us a greater chance of survival¡­ If we leave on our own, just encountering a single Blood Demon would likely mean death.¡±


    ¡°Our deaths are of no importance, but the Princess, she¡­¡± Xu Guo earnestly said, ¡°We hope Lord Xu Yuan will allow it.¡±


    Li Yuan looked at Jiang Xuan.


    Indeed!


    No one knows what the person behind the scenes is thinking. Once Jiang Xuan leaves his side, her life and death would be entirely up to luck.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°If you choose to stay, then stay. But let¡¯s have no regrets.¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Right, Lord Li Yuan,¡± Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I have a request. Could you allow His Highness to cut off the heads of those Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts as proof of completing the trial tasks?¡±


    ¡°With so many heads of Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts, His Highness would undoubtedly rank first in the trials if he could get out,¡± Xu Guo seriously said.


    Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment; she didn¡¯t expect that, even at this time, Uncle Guo was still thinking about her trial tasks.


    ¡°Suit yourself,¡± Li Yuan said, indifferent to the corpses of the beasts.


    Swoosh! Li Yuan took a step forward and arrived at the front cabin of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    He sat down cross-legged and began to recover his Origin Power.


    The recent battle had consumed a great deal of Origin Power due to the casting of several Star Techniques.


    ¡­


    Inside the forbidden ground of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°Scum! I clearly told him to stop, but he still killed my children! Ah!!¡± A thought born from deep within the earth roared in anger, ¡°Blood Demon children, I can only nurture nineteen at the same time, and once one dies, it takes more than a decade to breed another.¡±


    He was filled with rage and yet felt powerless. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He was merely a thought, seemingly able to sense various areas of the Abyss Demon Blood Den through the Formation, but the power he could wield was limited to the numerous Ferocious Beasts he had nurtured.


    And the power Li Yuan had revealed had surpassed his suppression limit.


    ¡°Such a formidable Flying Heaven Level entity is indeed rare.¡±


    ¡°The master has traveled through many countries, even within the Starry Sky Ancient City, and has never seen such, I presume,¡± said the thought in the depths of the forbidden area: ¡°But don¡¯t worry, this Flying Heaven Level entity probably won¡¯t live for long.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± the thought from deep within the earth questioned in confusion.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    ¡°Have you forgotten the true nature of the Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡± the thought in the depths of the forbidden area chuckled, ¡°Before the master, the Abyss Demon Blood Den has always been¡­ The master merely controlled the surface Formation and handed over the control of the Formation to us.¡±


    ¡°The true core of the Abyss Demon Blood Den has always been independent.¡±


    ¡°According to the master¡¯s will¡­ once we encounter an extraordinary Flying Heaven Realm or Demigod, there¡¯s no need for us to act, they will naturally be dealt with,¡± said the thought in the depths.


    ¡°The true core of the Blood Den?¡± The thought from deep within the earth seemed to recall something, ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°I must kill this scum to avenge my children.¡±


    ¡­


    In that valley that had experienced a great battle, invisible forces from the Formation were restoring the previously shattered mountains and earth.


    And those Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts and Blood Demons that had died in battle, even if their heads were cut off, their remaining bodies were gradually merging into the earth.


    This earth seemed like a gluttonous Taotie, quickly devouring and absorbing the remains of the deceased.


    ¡°How strange.¡±


    ¡°No wonder we rarely see the corpses of Ferocious Beasts and Trialists.¡±


    ¡°What exactly is this Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡± Li Yuan observed the outside world while recovering Origin Power inside the Warship.


    Seeing this scene, his heart grew increasingly wary.


    The only thing that eased his tension was that after several hours, no more Ferocious Beasts approached.


    It seemed that the hidden manipulator had given up.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, be careful, it¡¯s the power of space, quickly enter the Ancient Divine Palace!¡± Gu You¡¯s voice erupted in alarm and anger.


    Before Li Yuan could even react.


    A giant invisible space rift appeared noiselessly above the thirty-meter-long Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, as if a giant invisible maw had swallowed the shuttle in an instant.


    Following that, the space rift closed, and the void returned to normal.


    As if the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle had never been there.


    As if the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle had never been there.

 Chapter 765 03-25 - 765 404 Void Corridor The Truth

    ?Chapter 765: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth Chapter 765: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth Splash~


    When Li Yuan heard Sister Gu You¡¯s warning, his instinct was to return to the Ancient Divine Palace to increase his chances of survival.


    A Space Rift? It is known that space, as the foundation of all spirits, is extremely stable; even the battles of Pseudo-God Peak beings usually cause only ripples in space.


    True Gods, even when going all out, may cause cracks in space, but under the self-repairing actions of the heavens and earth, these cracks would quickly mend.


    Thus, any Space Rift represents extreme danger.


    ¡°I can¡¯t move anymore; it¡¯s too late.¡± But Li Yuan immediately realized it was too late, the invisible space-binding powers had completely sealed off this void around him.


    Even the space inside the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was completely suppressed.


    ¡°Is this the method of the Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡±


    ¡°Or is it an action from someone behind the scenes? Could the person behind the scenes be a True God level being?¡± Numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    If it were just a Pseudo-God level presence, though it could annihilate Li Yuan in an instant, it wouldn¡¯t leave him completely powerless.


    ¡°Such mighty power.¡±


    ¡°If they wanted to kill me, it would be easy; they wouldn¡¯t need to create a Space Rift, there must be a reason.¡± Li Yuan held an endless desire in his heart: ¡°I must survive, I must!!¡±


    Entering the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, arriving at this mysterious Jue Xing Continent, there were still many things he hadn¡¯t accomplished.


    ¡­


    It seemed like a moment, Li Yuan felt a slight tremble in the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, and then it stabilized.


    But Li Yuan, who had some understanding of the Mysteries of Space, could sense that he had likely shifted through space.


    At this moment.


    The space within the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was no longer suppressed, but Li Yuan was no longer in a hurry to enter the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Is it a cave?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense spread out; through the warship, he could sense that the outside appeared empty, probably a vast open space, quickly reaching the limits of his Divine Sense.


    ¡°This place is the intersection of several paths; it should be a Transmission Array.¡± Sister Gu You transmitted her voice. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A Transmission Array? Li Yuan was secretly alarmed.


    Within the Divine Realm, different Star Domains were extremely far apart; even for a Heavenly Divine, flying across the void was not feasible, hence the need for Transmission Arrays.


    Like the wormholes and Star Gates in space, they are naturally created by the movements of the heavens and earth, fundamentally similar to Transmission Arrays.


    However, Transmission Arrays are man-made.


    They involve the use of Space Law, usually only something Heavenly Divines can achieve¡­ Like the Starry Sky Divine Court spread throughout the Divine Realm, those Starry Sky Ancient Cities are essentially stable and massive ¡®Starry Sky Transmission Arrays¡¯, allowing the powerful beings of the Starry Sky Divine Court to quickly reach every Territory Starry Sky.


    Here, there¡¯s actually a Transmission Array?


    Could it be, the person behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den is a Heavenly Divine?


    ¡°Sister, is it safe?¡± Li Yuan transmitted his voice.


    ¡°It should be safe.¡± Sister Gu You transmitted back: ¡°I¡¯ve sensed all around, didn¡¯t detect any danger, you can try driving the warship.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A rapidly transmitted map of the terrain entered Li Yuan¡¯s mind from Sister Gu You¡­ The location of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was akin to the center of a huge spherical hall about ten kilometers in diameter.


    This was also the reason Li Yuan couldn¡¯t detect the boundaries at first.


    Because the hall was just too large.


    On the eight walls of the hall, countless Secret Runes seemed to be engraved, combining mysterious fluctuations together.


    ¡°No wonder Sister Gu You referred to it as a Transmission Array,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s quite similar to the information given by Elder Qiu.¡±


    In every direction of the spherical hall, there were passageways, a total of sixty-four passageways, each with a height and width exceeding one hundred meters, extending in various directions¡­ even Sister Gu You, operating the Ancient Divine Palace, couldn¡¯t probe the ends of the passageways.


    ¡°This hall has nothing unusual.¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and he immediately drove the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle randomly towards one of the passageways.


    Just arriving at the edge of the passageway.


    ¡°Shh~¡± The entire warship seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, unable to push through anymore, even causing the warship to tremble slightly.


    ¡°How are we doing, Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    ¡°Lord Xu Yuan.¡± Xu Guo and the several Armored Warriors also appeared quite nervous.


    They didn¡¯t have Li Yuan¡¯s sharp senses, but the sudden changes just now made them realize they were in trouble.


    ¡°This is the map, everyone take a good look.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept by, and six invisible soul fluctuations had already flown out, entering the minds of Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the others.


    These soul fluctuations contained the map information.


    ¡°Such a big hall.¡±


    ¡°Where is this?¡± Xu Guo and the several Armored Warriors were all surprised.


    ¡°The Royal Family¡¯s intelligence didn¡¯t mention that the Abyss Demon Blood Den had such a place.¡± Jiang Xuan was equally shocked.


    ¡°The warship can¡¯t fly into the passageway.¡± Li Yuan spoke calmly: ¡°If we don¡¯t want to be trapped to death here, we¡¯ll have to leave the warship and try.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The cabin door opened, and Li Yuan¡¯s figure swiftly flew out of the warship, the outside world was pitch dark, not a sliver of light to be seen.


    But for those in the Flying Heaven Realm and Semi Divine Realm, compared to eyes, Divine Sense was actually more detailed.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The outer layer of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle suddenly burst into brilliant light, emitting dazzling rays, these lights were enough for Li Yuan and the others to see the distant scene.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo also followed flying out, simultaneously looking towards the passageway that was tens of meters away.


    ¡°Can¡¯t the warship enter this passageway?¡± Xu Guo asked puzzledly: ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be any corpses here, are we the first group of Trialists to arrive here?¡±


    Everyone looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°I need you to try.¡± Li Yuan spoke in a low voice: ¡°We need someone to fly into the passageway first.¡±


    Xu Guo and Jiang Xuan looked at each other.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Xu Guo said, without any hesitation he turned into a streak of light and rushed into the dim passageway.

    ?Chapter 766: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_2 Chapter 766: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_2 Not hindered in the slightest.


    And the moment he stepped into the range of this passage.


    ¡°Snap~snap~snap~snap~¡± It was as if a hidden mechanism was triggered, the whole passage suddenly lit up, the surface of the passage looked like it was cast from metal, revealing layers of light.


    As if it were daytime.


    ¡°Your Highness, Lord Xu Yuan, I¡¯ve received a message,¡± Xu Guo exclaimed in shock: ¡°A voice told me that I must continue down the passage if I hope to survive¡­ otherwise, I will die.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was alarmed.


    Li Yuan was very calm and directly said, ¡°Xu Guo, try and see if you can fly back.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Guo moved and tried to exit the passage, but as he was about to fly out, he seemed to hit an invisible barrier and was forced to stop.


    ¡°I can¡¯t fly out,¡± Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°You, try to see if you can continue entering this passage,¡± Li Yuan suddenly instructed an Armored Warrior.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The Armored Warrior immediately flew out, but before approaching the passage, he was stopped by an invisible barrier and could not continue forward.


    By this time.


    It was clear to everyone that these passages were likely only allowing one person to enter.


    And the reason the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle couldn¡¯t enter was probably because it was detected to have more than one person inside.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, what do you think?¡± Li Yuan looked over to the young girl.


    ¡°We can only push through, Big Brother Xu,¡± Jiang Xuan said firmly, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that, in the early days, the Abyss Demon Blood Den didn¡¯t have so many Ferocious Beasts, but had a different form of trial. It¡¯s just that afterwards there was a major upheaval¡­ Perhaps what we are facing now is the true nature of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s push through.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle quickly shrank and was swiftly stored inside Li Yuan¡¯s Storage Treasure.


    ¡°Xu Guo, these passages should all be the same. Just follow the guidance and continue,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xu Guo nodded, and couldn¡¯t help looking towards Jiang Xuan: ¡°Your Highness, please be careful and stay safe.¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± Jiang Xuan nodded emphatically, unable to resist saying, ¡°Uncle Guo, you also be careful and make sure you survive.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°The Blood Demon didn¡¯t kill me, I, Xu Guo, must survive to go back and boast to the others,¡± Xu Guo said with a laugh.


    Immediately, Xu Guo turned into a streak of light, disappearing at the end of the passage.


    In reality, everyone was feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. If this truly was the original form of the Abyss Demon Blood Den, the fact that no information had leaked out over such a long time was already telling.


    The current lack of danger doesn¡¯t mean there won¡¯t be danger coming up.


    ¡­


    ¡°Big Brother Xu.¡±


    ¡°Once we separate here, we don¡¯t know if we will be able to see each other again.¡± Jiang Xuan looked at Li Yuan and bowed slightly: ¡°If we all manage to survive and get out¡­ I hope that Big Brother Xu will make a trip to Yuan Country Capital. I would like to thank Big Brother Xu in person.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Time passed, and Jiang Xuan and several of her Armored Warriors each chose a passage to enter.


    The process was the same as with Xu Guo at the start; once they entered, they received a message, couldn¡¯t return, and the others couldn¡¯t enter the same passage.


    In the end, only Li Yuan was left in the large spherical hall.


    ¡°Sis, which passage should I take?¡± Li Yuan transmitted his voice, although he knew a fair amount of information, he indeed had less actual experience. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Don¡¯t take any of them.¡±


    ¡°Wait!¡± Gu You transmitted her voice.


    Li Yuan was slightly startled, wait? But he obediently did as told, patiently waiting in the void.


    Time passed.


    This wait lasted for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly, the passages that the several Armored Warriors had entered, originally bright, abruptly dimmed down, becoming like the other passages.


    Only those of Gu You and Xu Guo remained bright.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart surged with alertness.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, those Armored Warriors probably all died,¡± Gu You transmitted.


    ¡°Sis, why didn¡¯t you tell me this from the very beginning?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°I was only guessing,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°But to verify whether these passages are safe or whether there¡¯s a risk to life, someone has to try them¡­ These people, they were all exploring the way for you.¡±


    ¡°I know your nature.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why, I didn¡¯t tell you in advance,¡± Gu You said, ¡°Keep waiting now, to see if Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo will die.¡±


    Li Yuan never imagined, that in an intangible way, Gu You had already treated Jiang Xuan and the others as pawns.


    Time passed, Li Yuan stood quietly in the void.


    A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, one hour¡­ Suddenly, the passage Xu Guo entered also dimmed down.


    Did Xu Guo die? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    This is life and death exploration, unpredictable and dangerous, a slight misstep could be the end.


    ¡°They chose the passages randomly, with no apparent pattern,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°Flying Heaven Level will die, Semi Divine Level will also die¡­ In terms of strength, Xu Guo is stronger than Jiang Xuan, but it¡¯s Jiang Xuan who has survived until the end.¡±


    ¡°Thus, it can be inferred that there are dangers in the passage, but the difficulties faced by the trialists are not the same¨Cit might be based on realm, or perhaps judged by age¡­ In any case, your chances of survival should be quite high,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, also having no choice but to admire Gu You¡¯s judgement.


    Another two hours passed.


    The passage Jiang Xuan was in remained lit!


    ¡°Start making your way through,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°Before doing so, you can try to enter the Ancient Divine Palace and see if you can sneak into the passage while inside it.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thought from Li Yuan, he entered the Ancient Divine Palace. Then, the Ancient Divine Palace, like a speck of Dust, began slowly flying towards one of the passages¡­ its speed was very slow.


    Sss~ Just as the Ancient Divine Palace approached, it encountered an invisible force and was unable to enter.


    ¡°Can¡¯t do it?¡± Li Yuan shook his head and with a thought, he teleported out of the Ancient Divine Palace.

 Chapter 767 03-25 - 767 404 Void Corridor The Truth_3

    ?Chapter 767: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_3 Chapter 767: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_3 Immediately.


    Li Yuan tried to ride the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle again, but still couldn¡¯t enter this pathway.


    ¡°Can only hide inside a Warship or Cave Heaven Treasure?¡± Li Yuan thought, and directly leapt into it.


    As soon as he stepped in.


    Whoosh~ the entire corridor suddenly lit up, followed by an invisible fluctuation transmitted into Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Trialists, move straight ahead, overcome obstructions at maximum speed, retreating into warship-like treasures is not allowed, using Law Treasures is not allowed, using puppets is not allowed, rely solely on your own strength¡­ Those who fail die! Those who exceed time die! Those who defy die!¡±


    A simple message


    Yet incredibly brutal.


    The message indicates one thing¡ªdeath!


    ¡°Not allowed to use Law Treasures? Death if time exceeded, and yet they don¡¯t specify how much time.¡± Li Yuan was secretly alarmed.


    But considering Xu Guo and several Armored Warriors¡¯ previous experiences, Li Yuan dared not be careless.


    Boom! Transforming into a streak of light, he dashed at full speed towards the depths of the corridor.


    This serpentine and twisted corridor, its depth unknown for many kilometers.


    Li Yuan also tried along the way, discovering that even unleashing the Dark Star Divine Spear with his own strength left not the slightest mark on the walls of the corridor¡­ This place was definitely left behind by a mighty superior being.


    Deep in the corridor, large amounts of silver liquid started emerging from both sides, which then quickly solidified, forming humanoid figures.


    Each one armed with a Combat Saber, their faces covered by Combat Armor, looking like soldiers.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The corridor was densely packed with over a hundred Silver Garment Warriors, each one emanating an extraordinary aura.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s surface radiated an earthy yellow glow as he quickly approached, spotting the Silver Garment Warriors on the ground of the corridor from afar.


    At that moment.


    Whish! Whish! Whish! Whish! Whish! The calmly standing over three hundred silver figures suddenly burst into action, overwhelmingly rushing towards Li Yuan.


    Each emitting a terrifying presence.


    ¡°All of them 35? They aren¡¯t alive, more like liquid robots.¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°No wonder those Flying Heaven Armored Warriors died¡­ Jiang Xuan must have struggled hard to survive.¡±


    Through the journey, Li Yuan had realized Jiang Xuan was actually quite strong; his Law Comprehension had reached Perfection of the Seventh Stage, plus his weapons and armor were all at Semi Divine Level, overall a much stronger force than Duanmu Hong.


    Facing a hundred warriors at the Flying Heaven Peak level, even if one could survive, it definitely would take a lot of time.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Li Yuan thought, and his body instantly enlarged to ten meters tall, followed by the overwhelming arrival of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, as nine Yellow Dragons roared towards them.


    In an encounter!


    Bang! Bang! Bang! In this narrow corridor, it was like a violent flood, over a hundred Silver Garment Warriors were instantly shattered and ground by the nine Yellow Dragons, turning into numerous silver fragments, which then fell to the ground.


    Li Yuan had disappeared at the end of the corridor.


    The bulk of silver fragments then liquified again, merging back into the corridor¡¯s ground. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Looks like.¡±


    ¡°Same as Sister Gu You predicted, these corridor¡¯s difficulties are at least related to the Life Level.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, his confidence in surviving surged.


    ¡­This corridor seemed endless.


    Li Yuan flew thousands of kilometers in one breath, encountering numerous obstructions from Silver Garment and Golden Garment Warriors along the way.


    The difficulty got higher, but for Li Yuan, it was almost no different from having no difficulty.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whizz~¡± Several ghostly winds appeared in the corridor, being formless, even with Li Yuan¡¯s perception of space, he failed to detect them and was instantly sliced across his body.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan felt his body shiver.


    This shadowy wind, even with Li Yuan maintaining his All Things Divine Body, could not breach the defense of the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor.


    However.


    The material attack of this shadowy wind was superficial, and accompanied by the shiver of his body, another soul fluctuation silently invaded Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, attempting to shake his soul.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    In Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, a massive blue Lotus Platform existed, as this soul fluctuation approached, the platform suddenly bloomed layer by layer, its lotus leaves intertwining like giant sickles, instantly shredding the attacking soul.


    Pseudo-God Level Soul Secret Treasure¡ªThousand Heart Lotus Platform!


    This Soul Secret Treasure was rarely used by Li Yuan, it was passively defensive, after all, with Li Yuan¡¯s strong Soul Will, few enemies could shake it.


    But once used, it was enough to prove the dangerous situation!


    ¡°What kind of soul attack is this?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked, becoming ever more vigilant: ¡°Where does this corridor actually lead?¡±


    So far, it remains a mystery.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Sister, we seem to be nearing the end.¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly sounded: ¡°But there seems to be an invisible force obstructing that side, I can¡¯t inquire further, be extremely careful.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Only ten-odd seconds later, Li Yuan saw a screen of light at the far end of the corridor, vaguely seeing another hall outside, without much hesitation, he plunged straight into it.


    Everything unfolded before his eyes.


    This was a rather majestic hall, apart from the entrance where Li Yuan entered, there was another corridor at the other end of the hall.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, as he saw on the ground, there lay six skeletal remains.


    These six bodies, some bones are merely left with ashes, some still have relatively intact skeletons.


    Clearly, they died at different times.


    Five of the bodies had only a single layer of clothing, with no weapon treasures¡­ Only the centrally located, more intact skeletal remains seated in lotus position, dressed in Combat Armor, weapons, and so on.


    ¡°Looks like!¡±


    ¡°The treasures left by the previous five skeletons have all been taken.¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°To be able to get through the corridor ahead, in the Flying Heaven Realm, their strength must be incredibly powerful.¡±

    ?Chapter 768: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_4 Chapter 768: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_4 ¡°`


    ¡°Unfortunately, they still perished here.¡±


    This scene made Li Yuan increasingly cautious.


    Sigh! Li Yuan walked straight forward.


    At the thought, all the treasures left behind by the last skeleton were collected by Li Yuan.


    But like his predecessors, Li Yuan did not touch the inner layer of the armor, leaving behind a final shred of dignity.


    ¡°Are there any treasures?¡± Li Yuan quickly checked: ¡°There are indeed quite a number of treasures!¡±


    Just the Semi Divine Level weapons and Combat Armor, Li Yuan found a great lot, exceeding a hundred.


    There were other treasures as well, such as Formations, Elixirs, and the like.


    ¡°Normally, one wouldn¡¯t keep so many treasures, they would definitely exchange them for other treasures.¡±


    ¡°It looks like he collected some of the treasures from his predecessors,¡± Li Yuan mused internally. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, some of the treasures have already decayed.¡±


    Weapons, after all, are not indestructible.


    Even Divine Artifacts, over the long stretch of time, will gradually decay¡­ within the Storage Magical Treasure, time does not stand still, and everything will slowly deteriorate.


    Of course, the many treasures left by the deceased were not highly decayed, signifying that not too much time had passed.


    ¡°They must have perished between five thousand to ten thousand years ago,¡± Gu You communicated, making a judgment.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, these weapons and treasures, if he could make it out alive, could also be resold.


    He collected them all.


    ¡°Why did they die here?¡±


    Merely ten or so seconds later, Li Yuan saw a light screen at the distant end of the corridor, vaguely revealing another hall. Without much hesitation, Li Yuan plunged straight in.


    All the scenery was unveiled in front of him.


    This was a rather majestic hall, aside from the corridor through which Li Yuan entered, there was another corridor on the opposite end of the hall.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted, noticing six skeletal corpses on the ground.


    Six corpses, some bones were left only as ashes, while some still had relatively complete skeletons.


    Clearly, they did not all die at the same time.


    Among the five corpses, all were clothed in just one layer, without any Weapon Treasures¡­ Only the central corpse sitting cross-legged had Combat Armor, weapons, and so on.


    ¡°It looks like!¡±


    ¡°The treasures left by the previous five corpses have already been taken by others,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Anyone who could break through the previous corridor must be extremely powerful in the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, they still died here.¡±


    This scene made Li Yuan increasingly cautious.


    Sigh! Li Yuan walked straight forward.


    At the thought, all the treasures left behind by the last skeleton were collected by Li Yuan.

 Chapter 769 03-25 - 769 405 Battle of the Ancestral Realm

    ?Chapter 769: Chapter 405: Battle of the Ancestral Realm Chapter 769: Chapter 405: Battle of the Ancestral Realm Li Yuan felt helpless.


    This Abyss Demon Blood Den actually turned out to be a legacy land left by a Heavenly Divine. How rare is that? Had he arrived too late?


    It seems like it¡¯s destiny.


    Of course, Li Yuan understood that even in the Divine Realm where Divines abound, if a legacy left by a Heavenly Divine were made known, it would certainly attract numerous Divines to fight for it.


    For instance, why does the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain attract so many Pseudo-Gods and True Gods from various Divine Realms? Isn¡¯t it because those Divines believe there might be treasures at the level of a Heavenly Divine?


    Especially in the Jue Xing Continent where Heavenly Divines are even rarer?


    Theoretically speaking, it has been over ten thousand years since this Heavenly Divine chose an inheritor for this legacy land, which is quite slow. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be disheartened,¡± Gu You communicated telepathically. ¡°In the face of life-and-death struggles, how can everything go as wished? Many powerful beings, if unlucky, may face numerous life-threatening crises without gaining any treasures, instead, they might just acquire some life-saving items.¡±


    ¡°At least, you have survived,¡± Gu You communicated again.


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Although it made sense, he couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed.


    After all, the power of a Heavenly Divine is far superior to that of a True God.


    If he could obtain a legacy from a Heavenly Divine, the gains would undoubtedly be much greater than what Ancient Flame True God and Qiu Bingzun had given him. It would not have been in vain to come to the Jue Xing Continent.


    But an opportunity, once missed, is gone.


    Although the Jue Xing Continent is vast, known as the land of three thousand Divine Kingdoms, Li Yuan didn¡¯t believe it could produce many Heavenly Divines¡­ Perhaps the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities could have a Heavenly Divine stationed in each generation.


    But would the Heavenly Divine of a Starry Sky Ancient City leave their legacy outside?


    Just like himself, if he were to leave a legacy, he would definitely keep it within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°You seem very disappointed?¡± the robed elder said with a chuckle.


    ¡°If I said I¡¯m not disappointed, that would definitely be lying to you, senior,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°But what I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my destiny¡­ Since it¡¯s destined not to be mine, there¡¯s no need to dwell on it any further.¡±


    ¡°Good mindset,¡± the robed elder nodded. ¡°Even though the masters precious treasures have all been taken by the inheritor.¡±


    ¡°However, each legacy land offers not just one Direct Disciple position but also two Inner Sect Disciple positions,¡± the robed elder continued.


    ¡°Inner Sect Disciple?¡± The peace in Li Yuan¡¯s heart was immediately disrupted, as a spark of interest lit up.


    Being an Inner Sect Disciple of a Heavenly Divine is great! Generally speaking, they would still receive guidance from the Heavenly Divine, and get some gifts, though not as much as the Direct Disciples.


    Moreover, the status of an Inner Sect Disciple is usually much higher than that of a True God¡¯s Direct Disciple.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the positions for Inner Sect Disciples have already been filled,¡± the robed elder spread his hands. ¡°They were selected even before the Direct Disciples, as the requirements are somewhat lower.¡±


    Li Yuan felt as if he could spit blood in frustration.


    You¡¯re kidding me!


    Seeing the pained expression on Li Yuan¡¯s face, the robed elder finally laughed out loud: ¡°Alright, young one, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. Both the Direct Disciple and Inner Sect Disciple positions are indeed no longer available¡­ but there are still quite a few spots for Registered Disciples.¡±


    ¡°Would you be interested?¡± the robed elder asked.


    ¡°Registered Disciple?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Just by the number, you can tell the difference. One legacy site selects a hundred¡­ ten legacy sites mean selecting a thousand Registered Disciples?


    Such a high number.


    Even as a Registered Disciple of a Heavenly Divine, the status and treasures received wouldn¡¯t compare to a True God¡¯s Direct Disciple¡­ but having something is better than having nothing.


    ¡°Senior, are there any other trials required?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°No need,¡± the robed elder shook his head. ¡°If you were to be a Direct Disciple, you would have some trials to complete, but just for a Registered Disciple¡­ with your talent and powers, no further tests are necessary.¡±


    ¡°If I succeed, what must I do and what will I obtain?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    Gains often require effort.


    This world operates on equivalence, and this mysterious Heavenly Divine, expending energy to set up ten legacy sites, likely has a motive.


    ¡°If you were to become a Direct Disciple, the requirements would be very strict,¡± the robed elder laughed. ¡°But for a Registered Disciple¡­ there¡¯s only one requirement.¡±


    ¡°If you become a Heavenly Divine or Semi-Divine and participate in the Ancestral Realm War and obtain an ¡®Ancestral Realm Order¡¯, you must declare yourself as a Registered Disciple of the master,¡± the robed elder said smilingly.


    A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Ancestral Realm Order? He actually heard about the ¡®Ancestral Realm Order¡¯ from the robed elder?


    You should know, the ¡®Eternal Hall mission¡¯ Li Yuan received actually had two core objectives.


    One, become a Third Rank Nine Star Pulse.


    Two, obtain the Ancestral Realm Order.


    Once both are accomplished, that would mean completing the ultimate Purple Garment mission, signaling the end of this trip to the Jue Xing Continent.


    But having been here for so many days, Li Yuan thought he still needed to go to some core Divine Kingdom areas to figure out how to get the Ancestral Realm Order.


    Unexpectedly.


    Here, he stumbled upon it.


    ¡°Senior, what is this Ancestral Realm Order? How can it be obtained?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± The robed elder¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: ¡°With your strength, you should at least have sensed the Seven Star Veins¡­ Flying Heaven Seven Star Veins. Given that a new Ancestral Realm War is approaching, core powers should have mentioned it to you.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, I do not know.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, only able to feign ignorance.


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°After all, you are merely at the Flying Heaven Realm, and your cultivation time is too short. Even if you rapidly ascend to Semi-Divine, participating in the Ancestral Realm Battle would still make it hard to seize the Ancestral Realm Order.¡± The robed elder said: ¡°Perhaps your elders never mentioned this to you.¡±


    ¡°Let me explain it to you.¡±


    ¡°These secrets were known to the master after ascending to Heavenly God¡­ Although they¡¯re highly confidential, the master never said they couldn¡¯t be disclosed.¡± The robed elder said nonchalantly.


    Li Yuan was rendered speechless.


    He also discerned that the black-robed elder before him was probably not a being of Life, but he had a rather distinctive personality.


    ¡°Legend has it that beyond our heaven and earth, there exists a much vaster and more expansive world, which can be referred to as the Divine Realm.¡± The black-robed elder said: ¡°Our Jue Xing Continent was once part of the Divine Realm, but for some unknown reasons, it detached from the Divine Realm.¡±


    The Jue Xing Continent was part of the Divine Realm? Li Yuan was slightly startled internally.


    This was absolutely shocking news.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan understood why there was a ¡®Starry Sky Ancient City¡¯ on the Jue Xing Continent¡ªit also explained why neither Gu You nor Qiu Bingzun¡¯s archives had records of it.


    ¡°However, according to the master, we are not completely isolated from the Divine Realm.¡± The robed elder said.


    ¡°Legend has it that the Ancestral Realm is the passage.¡±


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm, it¡¯s said that this realm was created by the ¡®Ancestral Realm Founder,¡¯ a magnificent being of our world, situated in a mysterious place and also contains the ultimate secrets of the Jue Xing Continent¡­ These are all legends, and I can¡¯t guarantee their truth.¡± The robed elder shrugged: ¡°Just consider it a story for entertainment.¡±


    Li Yuan took note silently.


    The Ancestral Realm Founder? By the name alone, he sounds extremely powerful!


    ¡°Now, what I¡¯m about to say is true.¡±


    ¡°The so-called Ancestral Realm Battle, on the surface, is a grand event held jointly by the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, but in reality, it is a set of rules laid down by the founder of the Ancestral Realm¡­ Conducted every five hundred years, only Semi-Divine strong beings who pass through the ¡®Starry Sky Nine Passes¡¯ can participate in the battle.¡±


    ¡°Because it concerns the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded automatically.


    It seems that the Ancestral Realm Battle is essentially a ¡®Semi-Divine Genius Battle¡¯, just held in the Ancestral Realm, hence named the Ancestral Realm Battle.


    Selecting semi-divine geniuses?


    As far as Li Yuan knew, such genius clashes were also frequently held in the Divine Realm¡ªvarious Divine Courts, and even many Heavenly Divines¡¯ vast territories¡­ all select geniuses to nurture talents.


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm Battle is a fight for the Ancestral Realm Order.¡± The robed elder smiled: ¡°In each Ancestral Realm Battle, no more than ten Ancestral Realm Orders appear, and any Semi-Divine strong being who secures an Ancestral Realm Order will receive a fortune bestowed by the Ancestral Realm Founder.¡±


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm Founder is a being superior to the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, even Gu Yun, the Heavenly Divine, is far inferior to him¡­ I heard from the master that in the vast Divine Realm, the Ancestral Realm Founder also stands at the pinnacle.¡±


    Li Yuan listened breathlessly.


    The pinnacle of the Divine Realm?


    A being surpassing Heavenly Divines?


    In the vast Divine Realm, each Heavenly Divine commands vast territories, considered peak powerhouses¡­ but leaders like those in various Divine Courts surpass the Heavenly Divines.


    ¡°Therefore, every time the Ancestral Realm Battle is held, the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms, and even a massive number of Life Planets from the space outside, top-tier semi-divine geniuses usually participate in the battle.¡± The robed elder remarked emotionally: ¡°Passing the Starry Sky Nine Passes, at least equals to the Semi-Divine Limit strength.¡±


    ¡°That is the baseline for participation.¡±


    ¡°If any weaker, daring to join the battle is simply seeking death.¡± The robed elder stated.


    ¡°Anyone who stands out in the Ancestral Realm Battle and obtains the Ancestral Realm Order¡­ is indeed a monstrous genius of the Jue Xing Continent, making a significant scene.¡± The robed elder said.


    ¡°When is the next Ancestral Realm Battle?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Soon, in twelve years.¡± The robed elder said.


    At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood the difficulty of the Purple Garment mission.


    It must be noted that in places like Abyss Country, a single nation could match or even surpass the number of strong beings from his home Mortal Domain.


    In Abyss Country, there¡¯s a Semi-Divine as strong as a Pseudo-God named ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯, also of Seven Star Veins.


    On Jue Xing Continent, there are three thousand Divine Kingdoms!


    And there are also the powerful forces of the Great Sects.


    Not to mention the three high and mighty Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, let alone the countless powerful extraterrestrial beings¡­ How many mighty Semi-Divines could there be?


    Just by thinking about it, Li Yuan felt his scalp tingle!


    Even if a few Semi-Divines as powerful as Dongfang Alliance Leader emerged, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t be surprised.


    And for himself, to cut through this group of mighty Semi-Divines and enter the top ten?


    If he continued cultivating for thirty to fifty years, even without awakening the Nine Star Pulse, Li Yuan would have great confidence.


    But the problem is, there are only twelve years left.


    ¡°No wonder, the difficulty of this Ancestral Realm Order mission is even more exaggerated than a Third Rank Nine Star Pulse.¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly.


    ¡°Kid, stop thinking about it.¡± The robed elder chuckled: ¡°You are just at Flying Heaven Realm, twelve years is too short, your Law Comprehension simply can¡¯t compare to those monstrous Semi-Divines who have cultivated for hundreds of years.¡±


    ¡°You might as well wait for more than five hundred years, until the next next session.¡±


    ¡°By then, with your talent, you could probably easily obtain the Ancestral Realm Order.¡±


    ¡°Waiting for five hundred years at the Semi-Divine stage for the Ancestral Realm Order is not considered a delay; you might even awaken the Eight Star Veins.¡±

 Chapter 770 03-25 - 770 406 Mirror of Laws

    ?Chapter 770: Chapter 406: Mirror of Laws Chapter 770: Chapter 406: Mirror of Laws ¡°Awakening the Eight Star Veins, Li Yuan muttered to himself, having already achieved them.


    But he wasn¡¯t surprised that the black-robed elder was not accurate.


    Star Meridians are concealed, and it¡¯s extremely difficult to probe with external forces; judgments based on life breath are often imprecise.


    Especially after one becomes powerful, if a True God powerhouse were to inspect my body, they would certainly be able to tell, but just from appearances? Others are not like me, having the Mind Spirit Divine Palace as an inquiry method.


    ¡°Over five hundred years, that¡¯s too long. My own cultivation is only a matter of decades,¡± Li Yuan said with a shake of his head and a smile.


    Although said deliberately, it also reflected Li Yuan¡¯s inner thoughts.


    Over five hundred years? Li Yuan cannot wait that long.


    If he were to return after such a long time, perhaps the Seven Star Civilization would have undergone great changes, and many friends and relatives might have already passed away.


    ¡°Haha, no rush, you would hardly be able to catch up this time anyway,¡± the black-robed elder said with a laugh: ¡°Semi-Divine is the last realm before Ascending to God, and it is a crucial one¡­ Take your time to think, perhaps in a hundred years, you might change your mind.¡±


    ¡°Becoming a god a few hundred years earlier doesn¡¯t mean much.¡±


    ¡°And the Ancestral Realm Order is a rare opportunity for the powerhouses of Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    The black-robed elder thought Li Yuan was too young, merely at the Flying Heaven Level, and had not encountered some of the supreme powerhouses, so he had no clear understanding of the significance of the Ancestral Realm Order.


    He would come to understand in time.


    But what he didn¡¯t know was that if Li Yuan were a native being of Jue Xing Continent, perhaps he would be willing to wait, but he was just an outsider.


    At this moment.


    Li Yuan had already made up his mind: ¡°I must do everything in my power to figure out a way to join the battle in twelve years and strive for the Ancestral Realm War¡­ regardless of success or failure, I must give it my all.¡±


    No matter how difficult!


    Was it harder than initially awakening the Second Rank Eight Star Veins? Li Yuan¡¯s nature was to never admit defeat.


    Even if he fails, at least there would be no regrets.


    ¡­ ¡°Elder, why would there be such a requirement for becoming a Registered Disciple of an Ascended Heavenly God?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°The master loves reputation,¡± the black-robed elder chuckled: ¡°According to the master, the benefits you receive are proportional to the karma you create¡­ For Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples, the requirements are quite stringent.¡±


    ¡°For a Registered Disciple, there¡¯s no need for additional demands, after all, they receive very little¡­ If a Registered Disciple turns out to be a failure, so be it.¡±


    ¡°But if they become an extraordinary figure, the master also wants people to know, that this is his Registered Disciple, that¡¯s why he requires the public disclosure of the identity,¡± the black-robed elder said.


    Li Yuan was caught between laughter and tears.


    This Heavenly Divine actually cared so much about fame? Even in death, he sought renown.


    Truly a remarkable character.


    No wonder the behavior of the black-robed elder before him was also quite odd; like master, like servant.


    ¡°I understand your concerns.¡±


    ¡°The master has formidable enemies, hence the places of inheritance are very secretive, and he does not demand any disciple to disclose their identity openly,¡± the black-robed elder said: ¡°But with two conditions.¡±


    ¡°If you Ascend to Heavenly God, naturally you won¡¯t fear the master¡¯s great enemy, and even the Starry Sky Ancient City will have to respect you.¡±


    ¡°If you can seize the Ancestral Realm Order as a Semi-Divine, as long as you don¡¯t fall in the future, you generally can reach the level of a True God at the peak.¡±


    ¡°As long as you wish, you could fully join the core ranks of ¡®Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯, and you are just a Registered Disciple¡­ The master¡¯s great enemy, should probably not go so far as to kill you,¡± the black-robed elder said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    According to the norms of the Divine Realm, a Registered Disciple is essentially close to a ¡®follower¡¯, and their status is not even as high as some trusted followers.


    Inner Sect Disciples are usually considered formally included in the sect.


    In the Divine Realm, many Heavenly Divines fight to the death among themselves, and when one side falls, it usually does not affect the Registered Disciples.


    Unless there is a great threat, they do not deliberately eliminate even Inner Sect Disciples.


    The supreme powerhouses have their pride too.


    But no matter what, there¡¯s always a risk.


    If this Ascended Heavenly God¡¯s enemy is one to bear grudges, then that would be a major problem.


    ¡°Elder, if I become a Registered Disciple of an Ascended Heavenly God, what could I gain?¡± Li Yuan asked directly.


    Whether the risk is great also depends on the gains.


    ¡°Such hesitation, it seems that you are indeed determined to obtain the Ancestral Realm Order,¡± the black-robed elder laughed: ¡°The previous ten-plus Registered Disciples didn¡¯t hesitate much.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Most Flying Heaven Realm or even Semi-Divine would probably not hesitate much and would directly agree.


    ¡°By the master¡¯s command, all Registered Disciples, as a first gift, will receive twenty thousand Divine Crystals,¡± the black-robed elder said.


    Twenty thousand Divine Crystals?


    Li Yuan thought to himself, that amounts to the entire wealth of many Initial Rank of Pseudo-God powerhouses.


    But for a Heavenly Divine that is nearing the end of life and has specifically left behind an inheritance, that¡¯s too little.


    Like the treasures left for their Direct Disciples by gods like Ancient Flame True God, how much could one acquire? Just an Ancient Divine Palace alone would be invaluable.


    ¡°The second gift depends on the strength of the Registered Disciple; after all, Registered Disciples vary in strength, so naturally, the gifts can¡¯t all be the same.¡±


    ¡°If they encounter a powerful Registered Disciple, naturally, a better gift must be prepared,¡± the black-robed old man said with a smile: ¡°Like you, in terms of strength and potential, you¡¯re even stronger than Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples at the Flying Heaven Level¡­ You are qualified to choose one of the top three treasures from the ¡®Registered Disciples¡¯ Treasury.''¡±


    ¡°What are the top three treasures?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°The top three include two True God Instruments, both meticulously crafted by the master, worthy of being the pinnacle of True God Instruments¡­ after all, the Heavenly God Artifacts were reserved for his Direct Disciples,¡± said the black-robed elder: ¡°The other treasure is the Mirror of Laws.¡±


    Mirror of Laws? A flicker of puzzlement passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    What is it?


    ¡°You might want to agree to him,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, even with a hint of excitement: ¡°The Mirror of Laws! I knew it, a Heavenly Divine on the brink of death would definitely leave behind such an important item, but I didn¡¯t expect even a Registered Disciple to have a chance to obtain it.¡±


    ¡°Sister, what is the Mirror of Laws?¡± Li Yuan quickly asked.


    ¡°Do you remember the three methods I told you about that can most quickly improve Law Comprehension efficiency?¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmitted.


    ¡°I remember,¡± said Li Yuan: ¡°First, is to enhance one¡¯s own compatibility, such as practicing auxiliary Supreme Star Techniques like ¡®True Interpretation of the Sky Wind Star Meridian¡¯ or using the Origin of Sky Wind to transform one¡¯s body, which are permanent improvements.¡±


    ¡°Second, is to acquire treasures that assist in Enlightenment, like the ¡®Map of Myriad Stars.''¡±


    ¡°Third, esoteric objects meant for Enlightenment, like the legendary Enlightenment Leaves.¡± Li Yuan quickly said.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°This Mirror of Laws, it is such an esoteric object for Enlightenment,¡± transmitted Gu You: ¡°The Mirror of Laws is exceedingly rare, even in the Divine Realm, many Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples might not be able to obtain it.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, astonished.


    Even Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples might not be able to obtain it? Is it that precious? S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Because, it is the product of a deceased Heavenly Divine,¡± said Gu You: ¡°A Heavenly Divine Powerhouse must fully comprehend a law, coupled with a deep understanding of the Space Law¡­ allowing their souls to almost merge into the Origin of the Great Dao, making the soul incredibly special.¡±


    ¡°When nearing their fall.¡±


    ¡°If the Heavenly Divine is willing, they can strip out many of their Law Comprehensions and condense them into the Mirror of Laws, True River of Laws¡­ these two great treasures. The True River of Laws is even more magical.¡±


    ¡°Typically, the soul of a Heavenly Divine can condense more than one Mirror of Laws. Once used, it illuminates the Cultivator¡¯s heart and directly points to the source of the law¡­ definitely a huge fortune,¡± transmitted Gu You: ¡°The treasures left behind by father are absolutely beyond your imagination, so, True God Instruments¡­ even the finest True God Instruments, you don¡¯t need to care too much about.¡±


    ¡°After all, True God Instruments can only be used once you Ascend to God, and once you become a god, you¡¯ll probably become a True God in one breath, and obtaining True God Instruments won¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    ¡°But the Mirror of Laws is extremely rare and also holds a legendary status as an esoteric object of enlightenment in the Divine Realm,¡± solemnly transmitted Gu You.


    Li Yuan already understood.


    He couldn¡¯t help but think of the Pseudo-God Liquid, crafted from the souls of Pseudo-God Powerhouses.


    And yet the Mirror of Laws, True River of Laws, can only be condensed from the Law Comprehensions within the soul of a Heavenly Divine upon their imminent death¡­ representing the life of the Heavenly Divine.


    No wonder some Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples couldn¡¯t obtain it.


    ¡°A living Heavenly Divine, unless robbed, where else could one come from?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Only a deceased Heavenly Divine could possibly leave one behind.¡±


    Such esoteric objects meant for Enlightenment, this mysterious Heavenly Divine left behind before death ¨C there must be more than one but not many.


    ¡°I¡¯m all in!¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Divine enemy? If I complete the Purple Garment mission, I will leave Jue Xing Continent,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°By then, even if that Heavenly Divine wants to kill me, he will likely be unable to find me.¡±


    Li Yuan had already thought through the pros and cons.


    With only twelve years left, he must seize every opportunity. Once he leaves the Abyss Demon Blood Den¡­ as an outsider with an unclear identity, even with high talent, he may not be recognized by other Heavenly Divines on the Jue Xing Continent.


    In such a short time, it would be extremely difficult to come across greater opportunities.


    This black-robed elder, with just his teleportation skill alone, could easily kill him if he wanted to; there was no need to deceive him.


    ¡°Seize every opportunity to become a Purple Garment Member,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°From the many traces left by the principal, Dongfang Alliance Leader, the opportunity contained within the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain seems to be even greater than that of the Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples.¡±


    With this in mind.


    ¡°Senior, I wish to become a Registered Disciple of the Heavenly Divine,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Haha, good, that¡¯s a wise choice,¡± the black-robed elder showed a smile: ¡°Rest assured, you will be happy with your decision today¡­ Some things, due to special reasons, I can¡¯t tell you, but you¡¯ll understand soon.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re called Xu Yuan, right?¡±


    ¡°Correct,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, follow me,¡± the black-robed elder turned and was about to fly towards another corridor in the hall.


    ¡°Senior, what about them?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but point at the skeletons on the ground.


    ¡°These people, although they barely passed the peripheral challenge, still didn¡¯t meet the requirements,¡± sighed the black-robed elder, shaking his head: ¡°In the end, they could only die of old age here; these are the master¡¯s orders, and I cannot defy them.¡±


    ¡°In fact, the ¡®Abyss Demon Blood Den¡¯ you experienced is not the actual peripheral challenge of the Legacy Land.¡±


    ¡°Those ferocious beasts were cultivated by another True God specifically for Slaughter,¡± said the black-robed elder.


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    This was also one of his confusions, the Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts and Blood Demons he encountered in the Abyss Demon Blood Den¡­ the difficulty was much greater than in the corridors.


    ¡°That involves other secrets,¡± the black-robed elder shook his head: ¡°After all, most of the Legacy Land¡¯s treasures have been taken, and I did not care much.¡±


    ¡°Unless one is powerful, like at the Flying Heaven Level showing the strength of Initial Rank of Semi-Divine, hopeful to become a Registered Disciple of the master, then I would teleport them here.¡±

 Chapter 771 03-25 - 407: Breakthrough! Has the Senior Brother Arrived?

    Chapter 771: Chapter 407: Breakthrough! Has the Senior Brother Arrived?


    The passage is quite wide, but also extremely dark, more than ten times higher than the void corridor Li Yuan had experienced before.


    ¡°If I wasn¡¯t leading you, you would encounter many obstacles trying to pass through this corridor,¡± the man in black robe said. ¡°Of course, with your strength, passing through the corridor wouldn¡¯t be a problem¡­ I won¡¯t have to waste my time then.¡±


    After the two flew for a while.


    Suddenly a bright light appeared in front of them, revealing a vast land with undulating mountain ranges and a huge, crystal-clear lake with clouds and mist covering the void above the mountains.


    At first glance, it looked just like a fairyland.


    And at the edge of the lake, there was a common wooden hut. Under a big tree beside the hut, there sat a figure in crimson battle armor with a burly stature.


    He had short red hair, a resolute face, and his eyes were tightly closed. Even sitting cross-legged, he was over two meters tall, and his burly body exuded an incredibly mighty and fierce aura.


    Whoosh!


    The man in the black robe brought Li Yuan down by the lake.


    Even before getting close, Li Yuan felt an incredibly terrifying presence, like an ant facing a giant dragon.


    Unrivaled!


    This was the disparity in the life level, unknowable by how many tens of thousands of times.


    ¡°True body?¡± Li Yuan was astonished in his heart.


    ¡°Yes,¡± nodded the man in black robe, his face rarely solemn: ¡°When the master reached the end of his lifespan, he made all arrangements before his demise and then passed away in meditation here.¡±


    ¡°These lakes and mountain ranges are all recollections of the master¡¯s childhood hometown, which, unfortunately, was destroyed¡­ Later, when the master ascended to Heavenly God, he gained the power to create small worlds, and recreated the scenes from his memories here,¡± the man in black robe lamented. ¡°In death, he just wanted to sit here forever.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Indeed, he was a man of strong character.


    ¡°The master¡¯s name is Anchi Heavenly God, once a renowned figure, and a supreme being ranked among the top three in this starry sky,¡± said the man in the black robe, looking at Li Yuan with pride.


    Li Yuan remained calm (clueless).


    Anchi Heavenly God?


    Never heard of him!


    ¡°Nevermind, you¡¯re only at Flying Heaven Level, so it¡¯s normal that you haven¡¯t heard of the master¡¯s name. When you become a True God in the future, you will know,¡± the man in the black robe shook his head helplessly. ¡°Come on, although you¡¯re just a registered disciple and haven¡¯t received direct guidance from the master, you should still pay your respects.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Withstanding the terrifying might emanating from Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s remains, Li Yuan struggled to approach a bit closer, then respectfully performed a grand salute.


    ¡°Master,¡± the man in the black robe stood reverently to the side, solemnly saying, ¡°Another registered disciple has been chosen. This disciple is probably the most outstanding one selected in tens of thousands of years.¡±


    ¡°I hope the master will open the treasure vault,¡± said the man in the black robe respectfully.


    Whoosh~


    Whoosh~ An invisible fluctuation flew out from the body of Anchi Heavenly God, and soon the nearby wooden hut slowly opened.


    ¡°Thank you, master,¡± said the man in the black robe. ¡°Xu Yuan, stand up. As a registered disciple, there¡¯s no need for you to make a specific Law pledge¡­ Follow me.¡±


    Li Yuan respectfully got up and followed the man in the black robe towards the now open wooden hut.


    ¡°Elder, Anchi Master¡¯s flesh body?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Anchi Heavenly God, it felt as if he was just sleeping, nothing at all like being dead.


    Logically.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s imagination, reaching the end of one¡¯s lifespan should mean physical decay and rot.


    ¡°The master is a Heavenly God, who has penetrated the Law of the Great Dao and has an extremely high level of Space Law Comprehension,¡± the man in the black robe spoke softly. ¡°His flesh body is so powerful, comparable to a True God Instrument, hardly touched by the passage of time¡­ Even after tens of millions of years, it would not completely decay.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Just a few tens of thousands of years have passed, naturally there hasn¡¯t been much change.¡±


    ¡°The body is nearly immortal.¡± The black-robed elder seemed to recall something and sighed, ¡°The death of a Heavenly Divine is not due to decay¡­ but because of the constraints of heaven and earth. When heaven and earth want you dead, you have no choice but to die.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    That statement from the black-robed elder seemed to be laden with deep meaning. Heaven and earth want you dead? Are they the rules of heaven and earth?


    ¡°This is something the master once said, you should understand if you can ascend to Heavenly Divine one day,¡± said the black-robed elder with a smile, having already entered the wooden house.


    Li Yuan followed him in as well.


    Whoosh~ Stepping into the wooden house, the space seemed to shift, and Li Yuan found himself amidst a vast starry sky, where artifacts and treasures emanating powerful auras were suspended.


    ¡°So many treasures.¡± Li Yuan held his breath; this was much more impressive than the ¡®Divine Artifact Chamber¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization.


    From Li Yuan¡¯s perspective, amongst the densely packed treasures, aside from some rare items, even the weakest divine artifacts were likely on the same level as his Dark Star Divine Spear.


    Indeed, this was the Legacy Land of a Heavenly Divine.


    ¡°This is the treasure vault of the registered disciples,¡± said the black-robed elder. ¡°First, I¡¯ll give you twenty thousand Divine Crystals.¡± S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh! The black-robed elder waved his hand, and a Storage Treasure landed in front of Li Yuan.


    As Li Yuan sensed with his Divine Sense, he saw the interior space of the Storage Magical Treasure was vast, piled up like a small mountain of Divine Crystals.


    Twenty thousand Fangshen Crystals!


    ¡°If I step into the Demigod realm and cultivate those Nine Layer Star Techniques, with the many resources required, I won¡¯t have to worry about running out of Divine Crystals,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself. The Jue Xing Continent was vast, and as long as he had enough Divine Crystals, gathering treasures should not be difficult.


    After Li Yuan put the Storage Treasure away.


    ¡°The second treasure, you¡¯ll have to choose, one out of three,¡± said the black-robed elder. ¡°One is the Sealing Tower, which serves multiple purposes including a warship, material defense, sealing, and so on, and can be called the finest of the True God Instruments. Even a True God Limit Expert, once imprisoned within, would have no hope of escaping.¡±


    ¡°Many True Gods cannot afford this treasure.¡±


    The black-robed elder pointed into the distance, and a sphere in the depths of the starry sky suddenly shone brightly, revealing the vague phantom of a majestic tower, with an atmosphere so vast it made one¡¯s heart tremble.


    ¡°Top grade indeed,¡± Li Yuan marveled in amazement.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, just as with Pseudo-God Artifacts, the cheapest cost one or two Divine Crystals, the expensive ones thousands, and some extremely special ones even tens of thousands of Divine Crystals.


    Among True God Instruments, the top-grade ones were so valuable that many True Gods would hesitate to pursue them.


    ¡°The second choice is a Soul Secret Treasure. In the hands of a True God, it can defend against the soul attacks of ordinary Heavenly Divines,¡± continued the black-robed elder. ¡°This is also extremely rare.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, understanding that the more powerful a Soul Secret Treasure was, the rarer it became.


    Such great treasure!


    Tempting to the eyes!


    Unfortunately, he could only choose one.


    ¡°Among the top three treasures, the last is the ¡®Mirror of Laws,''¡± said the black-robed elder. ¡°The main mysteries contained in this Mirror of Laws are those of the Space Law, and a small part of the Fire Law Comprehension¡­ The master¡¯s enlightenment was in the Fire Law.¡±


    ¡°Fire?¡± Li Yuan felt slightly disappointed in his heart; this was not the path he excelled in.


    But containing the mysteries of Space Law was good enough.


    ¡°Have you decided?¡± The black-robed elder looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Elder, I would like the Mirror of Laws,¡± Li Yuan responded promptly.


    Realms are the foundation; no matter how strong a divine artifact is, it requires sufficient Law Comprehension to bring out its potential.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°This Mirror of Laws, I will gift it to you,¡± said the black-robed elder with a smile. ¡°Will you use it now or keep it for later?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Use it now.¡± Li Yuan declared decisively.


    Just now, Gu You had informed him about the Mirror of Laws.


    Such treasures of Enlightenment, once used, truly become one¡¯s own.


    Kept in hand, they only invite covetous glances.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s cultivate here.¡± The black-robed elder said, ¡°Prepare yourself.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A streak of light suddenly fell from the starry sky, heading straight for Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look up, only to see a mirror swiftly appearing in his field of vision.


    This mirror was incredibly strange; to be precise, it shouldn¡¯t be called a mirror at all. It was more like a drop of water, smooth as a mirror, from which Li Yuan felt as though he could sense the vast universe and the earth, instantly losing himself.


    ¡°Huh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze became distant as he sat down cross-legged.


    Drip Drop!


    The mirror fell silently and touched Li Yuan. Like a liquid, it immediately engulfed him¡­ The Mirror of Laws seemed to take Li Yuan into another space.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was abruptly lifted, and he faintly sensed that he had reached a mysterious realm.


    In the dim and vast void, it seemed like nothingness.


    A man with fiery red hair and wearing fiery red combat armor stood as if he were the incarnation of flames, with vast and endless aura and eyes that contained terrifying might. His gaze swept across the void, seemingly perceiving Li Yuan¡¯s presence, causing Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness to shiver uncontrollably.


    ¡°Is this Anchi Heavenly God?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t let down the path I¡¯ve taken,¡± Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s lips moved soundlessly, yet conveyed his meaning clearly.


    Huh!


    Anchi Heavenly God brought his hands together, raising them slightly at head level, as if in worship or as if using his palms as a knife, suddenly slicing forward.


    Whoosh!


    With this palm strike, might condensed, the entire void began to tremble, and a fine space rift emerged, almost imperceptible to the naked eye¡­ This space rift extended endlessly towards the far reaches of the void along the direction of the palm-knife.


    One hundred kilometers!


    Three hundred kilometers!


    One thousand kilometers!


    ¡­This space rift seemed minute, yet contained a terrifying piercing force, extending beyond the limits of Li Yuan¡¯s reach.


    ¡°Space Cutting.¡±


    ¡°This strike!¡±


    Li Yuan was deeply shaken. He had never imagined that the Space Law could be used in such a way, with might condensed to the ultimate degree. This palm strike gave him the illusion that ¡®everything in the world could be severed, without harming the innocent.¡¯


    Concentration!


    The pinnacle of concentration! Sharp to the extreme!


    Although the space rift seemed fine, it caused the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth to surge and took a long time to close.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Within this fine space rift, massive flames flowed out, filled with vibrant life force, gradually closing the rift¡­


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± The Mirror of Laws that had seemingly engulfed Li Yuan suddenly dissipated.


    Once again, Li Yuan¡¯s figure appeared in the void, completely entranced.


    ¡°It¡¯s uncertain how much this little fellow will gain, hope he doesn¡¯t squander the master¡¯s painstaking effort.¡± The black-robed elder muttered under his breath.


    ¡­ ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The scene of Anchi Heavenly God slicing through heaven and earth with a palm strike was deeply engraved in Li Yuan¡¯s soul, a sensation as instinctive as if born with him, impossible to sever or cut away.


    This is the formidable power of the Mirror of Laws.


    Unlike those Inheritance Crystal Stone imprints Li Yuan received, which seemed to let him experience it for himself, once consciousness was withdrawn, they would quickly become blurry¡­ After all, those were just spiritual imprints.


    The Mirror of Laws, essentially, was part of a Heavenly Divine¡¯s soul, leaving a mark far more vivid.


    ¡°Slay!¡±


    ¡°Slay!¡±


    ¡°Slay!¡±


    ¡°One strike can slay everything!¡± Li Yuan felt that all the puzzles he had encountered while delving into the Mysteries of Space and practicing the fourth move ¡®Shattering the Long Sky¡¯ of the Boundary Cloud Spear were solved in this moment, and even more, he was bursting with bright ideas.


    Fully immersed in his cultivation.


    Unconsciously, Li Yuan used his finger in place of a spear, simulating the action of a Straight Thrust, striking out repeatedly.


    The cut and thrust shared common ground.


    Both sought unceasing momentum and the sharpness that could pierce all things!


    The black-robed elder waited quietly, not interrupting. He knew that the first Comprehension using the Mirror of Laws was especially critical.


    One hour.


    Two hours.


    Three hours.


    Ripples spread through the entrance of this Starry Sky.


    Following that, a black-armored figure emitting a mighty aura walked in, his presence domineering, somewhat similar to Anchi Heavenly God. The black-armored figure immediately spotted Li Yuan who was immersed in his comprehension in the void.


    ¡°He¡¯s come?¡± The black-robed elder saw the black-armored figure.


    ¡°Elder Wu, is this the Xu Yuan you¡¯ve mentioned, who might surpass me in the future?¡± the black-armored figure spoke softly, looking down at Li Yuan.


    He did not disturb Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation.


    But his gaze was sharp as if it could penetrate everything, carefully observing Li Yuan from every dimension.


    At his realm of strength, his Perception Ability was incredible.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins? Flying Heaven Eight Star Veins?¡± A mysterious light flashed in the eyes of the black-armored figure.


    But he didn¡¯t speak out and instead stood patiently alongside the black-robed elder.


    During the repeated processes of thrusting with finger as spear, the aura emanating from Li Yuan grew stronger, the might at his fingertips intensified, and numerous insights surged into his mind.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Another thrust, unbelievably fast, causing even the stable space to ripple slightly.


    ¡°Space ripple?¡± The black-robed elder¡¯s eyes shone.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Realm, Pseudo-God Level Spear Technique?¡± The black-armored figure grew even more surprised.

 Chapter 772 03-25 - 408 Jiang Yuan True God

    Chapter 772: Chapter 408 Jiang Yuan True God


    Whether it was the black-robed elder known as ¡®Elder Wu¡¯ or the figure in black armor, both had exceptionally high standards and clearly understood what it meant for a move to cause spatial ripples.


    This signified that such a technique could penetrate the superficial layer of heaven and earth and touch upon the true fluctuations of space.


    It undoubtedly belonged to the realm of Pseudo-God level techniques.


    ¡°This technique primarily incorporates the Mysteries of Space, with the Law of Earth and the Wind Law as auxiliary elements; it is quite exquisite.¡±


    ¡°My junior, merely at the Flying Heaven Level, is able to touch upon the Mysteries of Space; his talent is indeed unimaginable,¡± the figure in black armor whispered, ¡°Elder Wu, are you sure what the master left behind was the Mirror of Laws and not the True River of Laws?¡±


    ¡°How could I possibly deceive you?¡±


    ¡°The True River of Laws represents the opportunity to comprehend the complete Law of the Great Dao. Even someone as powerful as our master only left behind three portions, of which you received one,¡± said the black-robed elder.


    ¡°The treasure vault of Registered Disciples.¡±


    ¡°To have left behind a Mirror of Laws is already quite remarkable; how could there possibly be a True River of Laws left behind?¡± the black-robed elder added.


    The figure in black armor nodded slightly.


    The Heavenly Gods, if slain by enemies, would naturally not transform into the True River of Laws or the Mirror of Laws¡­ but even if they meticulously prepared before their seated meditation, something like the Mirror of Laws would be left in no more than several dozen portions.


    Such numbers are still extremely scarce.


    Given its effectiveness, it naturally shouldn¡¯t be this good; the only explanation is¡­ the user has an exceedingly high talent.


    ¡°Starry Vein Talent is extraordinary.¡±


    ¡°The Law Talent is also extremely strong, and the soul is infinitely close to the Pseudo-God level¡­¡± The figure in black armor mused, ¡°Where did this come from? I¡¯ve never heard of him.¡±


    He, as the master of a Divine Kingdom and a high-level entity of the Starry Sky Ancient City, had extremely broad knowledge and was even more informed.


    By rights!


    Talents like this at the Flying Heaven Level should have been discovered long ago; in any Divine Kingdom, they would be counted as top-tier geniuses.


    ¡°How did he appear in the Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡± The figure in black armor frowned, with myriad thoughts flashing through his mind.


    But he remained expressionless, simply continuing to observe.


    ¡­


    In this Starry Sky world, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, quietly contemplating the mysteries of Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s palm-strike technique.


    It was truly shocking.


    The sensation was too clear.


    Merely through repeated attempts, Li Yuan felt his comprehension of the Mysteries of Space continuously breaking through.


    It came naturally to him to perform the fourth style of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯: ¡®Shattering the Long Sky.¡¯


    This style, in terms of profundity, was already comparable to that of an Initial Rank Pseudo-God.


    Such a breakthrough in realm was enough to abruptly elevate Li Yuan¡¯s strength by a great margin.


    ¡°The application of the Space Law ¨C vast and unpredictable. Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s palm-strike must belong to the category of ¡®Space Cutting¡¯, which is the ultimate destruction,¡± Li Yuan excited himself.


    Whether it was contemplating the Law of Earth or the Wind Law, he had many references and could receive some guidance.


    Only when contemplating the Mysteries of Space did he find great difficulty, as Li Yuan had been groping alone in the dark.


    After all, even someone like Qiu Bingzun, in their understanding of the Space Law, was only at the level of the ¡®True Intention of Space¡¯ and hadn¡¯t truly entered the Threshold of the Law¡­ One can imagine the hardship of the Space Dao.


    ¡°The Space Law!¡±


    ¡°Just like the Seven Fundamental Laws, it also divides into many directions, such as Space Cutting, World, No Space Domain, etc.,¡± Li Yuan sighed in solitude, ¡°Each direction has its own focus, like Space Cutting, if cultivated to the extreme, legend has it that one move can cross billions of miles in space-time to slay the enemy, where everything touched can be killed.¡±


    ¡°The World direction can make one¡¯s Domain as vast as an entire world descending, encompassing everything.¡±


    ¡°The direction of the No Space Domain can penetrate everything, stepping into higher dimensions; it is much more formidable than some of the Escaping Techniques of the Wind System, and when cultivated to advanced levels, it can even allow one to teleport, crossing vast Star Domains in a thought¡ªthis is also why the Heavenly Gods can construct Transmission Arrays.¡±


    ¡°The direction of Space Objects¡­¡±


    ¡­Li Yuan knew such general information in the past, but knowing it was of little use without being able to comprehend it specifically.


    Until today.


    Using the Mirror of Laws, Li Yuan had opened the doors to a brand new world, witnessing the fearsome nature of the Space Law and further clarifying his path.


    ¡°Space Cutting.¡±


    ¡°Now that I have the guidance of Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s Mirror of Laws, I will make my utmost effort to comprehend in the direction of Space Cutting,¡± Li Yuan vowed from the heart, intending to learn the most powerful if he was to learn at all.


    Time passed.


    The profound effects of the Mirror of Laws were gradually fading, and the abundant Spiritual Light in Li Yuan¡¯s mind was also dispersing.


    ¡°The most precious first use is gone.¡±


    ¡°Subsequent comprehension will probably not even be one-tenth as efficient as this time,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    The Mirror of Laws was integrated into the soul, and its first use had the best effect, with each later use having a diminishing return.


    ¡°According to the information Sister Gu You gave,¡±


    ¡°With the passage of time, the power contained within the Mirror of Laws will ultimately completely dissipate, and each session of my contemplation will also deplete some of its power,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Therefore, after using the Mirror of Laws, it would be best to re-contemplate after some time.


    ¡°It is an external object, aiding in cultivation, but it cannot replace my own comprehension,¡± Li Yuan was well aware of this: ¡°My first use had such a significant effect because of the many years I spent in Concealed Cultivation, studying the Mysteries of Space, deducing the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯, and accumulating a plethora of doubts.¡±


    It was like teachers lecturing.


    Only if students earnestly prepared in advance and had many questions could they maximize the efficacy of the teacher¡¯s lecture.


    With this thought.


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and he sensed an option on the Divine Palace panel:


    [Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 62%), True Meaning of Fire (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Wood (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Metal (Fifth Stage 88%), Mysteries of Thunder (Fifth Stage 12%)]


    ¡°The progress in the Mysteries of Space is indeed great, now equivalent to the standard of Seventh Stage High Rank,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Now, my rate of progress in the Space aspect truly far exceeds that of the Earth and Wind aspects.¡±


    Li Yuan himself had not anticipated that it would be so easy for him to comprehend the Mysteries of Space.


    ¡°The lineage of Fire, I have actually, unbeknownst to myself, condensed the True Intent.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Anchi Heavenly God, who had a complete mastery of the Fire Law, naturally left behind a Mirror of Laws that contained a great deal of insight into the Fire Law.


    Even though Li Yuan was not particularly adept at the path of Fire, during his understanding of it, he could be affected unconsciously.


    One path leads to the creation of thousands.


    Super experts, in addition to the paths that they have comprehended, would generally have some understanding of other Laws.


    ¡°Phew!¡± Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and stood up to look at the cloaked elder not far away.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan was shocked to find that, unbeknownst to when, a figure clad in black armor was standing next to the cloaked elder, with an overbearing aura that faintly enveloped this part of the Starry Sky.


    ¡°I actually didn¡¯t notice him at all just now.¡± Li Yuan was surprised, ¡°When I don¡¯t look at him, I can¡¯t feel his presence, but as soon as I look at him, I feel that his aura is terrifying¡­ What kind of technique is this?¡±


    With just one look, Li Yuan understood.


    This figure in black armor was definitely the strongest he had ever met in his life, far surpassing even the Dongfang Alliance Leader.


    ¡°True God.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is a True God, and a very powerful one at that,¡± Sister Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly rang out: ¡°He appeared just now, I just didn¡¯t disturb you because I saw that he seemed to have no ill intentions and you were in Concealed Cultivation.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped forward and quickly came in front of the cloaked elder, giving a respectful bow, ¡°Thank you, elder.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. As the Named Disciple of the master, it¡¯s only right that you receive some treasures,¡± the cloaked elder said with a smile: ¡°Do you remember when I said before that there were some secrets I didn¡¯t tell you?¡±


    ¡°Now that you have become the master¡¯s Named Disciple, you have the right to know.¡±


    ¡°This person in front of you, is the master¡¯s Direct Disciple, and also the eldest disciple of your lineage,¡± the cloaked elder introduced: ¡°Jiang Yuan True God.¡±


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished, as expected.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, pays respects to Senior Brother,¡± Li Yuan bowed.


    Suddenly, a thought struck Li Yuan, ¡°Wait, Jiang Yuan True God? Also surnamed Jiang?¡±


    Is it a coincidence?


    ¡°Elder Wu sent a message to me, saying that a formidable junior brother has emerged from the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a hint of a smile: ¡°So I specially hurried over from the Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°At first glance, I¡¯ve found that, indeed, there¡¯s something extraordinary about you that made Elder Wu give praise.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with control over Pseudo-God Level moves, quite rare indeed!¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile: ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, you are outstanding. Among the countless Flying Heaven Level experts of the Jue Xing Continent, the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the Six Great Holy Lands, the three thousand Divine Kingdoms, you are probably among the very top ranks.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother is overpraising,¡± Li Yuan responded.


    ¡°I am not overpraising,¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed: ¡°If you only had control over Pseudo-God Level moves, indeed, you wouldn¡¯t be considered top rank.¡±


    ¡°But to awaken Eight Star Veins at the realm of Flying Heaven, plus a soul almost at the Pseudo-God Level, and considering your age, which isn¡¯t even forty years old,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°Even if I claim you have the highest talent among the Flying Heaven Level on the Jue Xing Continent, you would still be worthy of it.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s expression was calm, but inside his heart, a storm was brewing.


    This!!


    This Jiang Yuan True God, having only just met him, had seen through him so thoroughly.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you kiddo are an Eight Star Vein?¡± Elder Wu was astonished at the side: ¡°I thought you were just a Seven Star Vein, so you¡¯re actually an Eight Star Vein? Third Rank Eight Star Vein, this!!¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean, before ascending to godhood, there¡¯s a hope to strive for Nine Star Pulse?¡± Elder Wu¡¯s eyes shone with light.


    The difference between Seven Star Veins and Eight Star Veins seems to be just one vein, but in reality, it¡¯s a world apart.


    The former is quite common on the Jue Xing Continent.


    For instance, within the Abyss Country, there are Demigods with Seven Star Veins, and there are far too many across the Jue Xing Continent.


    But as we go up to Eight Star Vein experts, the numbers dwindle drastically.


    Nine Star Pulse? It¡¯s a legend of the Jue Xing Continent!!


    ¡°Tch tch, you sure hid yourself deep enough, almost fooling this old man,¡± Elder Wu laughed: ¡°Sadly, you still couldn¡¯t escape your Senior Brother Jiang Yuan¡¯s eyes. Among the many true gods in the Jue Xing Continent, he is one of the top three existences, an absolute True God Limit Expert.¡±


    True God Limit?


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled, and he couldn¡¯t help but take another look at Jiang Yuan True God.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s knowledge, when Qiu Bingzun was alive, he was at the level of True God Limit and thus had the qualifications to be called a ¡®Zun¡¯ among the Heavenly Serpent Clan.


    ¡°Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s Direct Disciple is at the True God Limit?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°That¡¯s right! To be chosen by a Heavenly God, one¡¯s talent must certainly be extremely high, and it¡¯s not surprising to have True God Limit strength after more than ten thousand years.¡±


    With this thought.


    ¡°Elder Wu, Senior Brother, I had no intention of hiding it,¡± Li Yuan continued, feeling somewhat anxious in his heart.


    Although the other was nominally his ¡®Senior Brother,¡¯ this was also only their first meeting.


    Anything could happen. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It could be said that his life was in the hands of this Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be nervous.¡±


    ¡°Since I call you ¡®Junior Brother,¡¯ it means I acknowledge you,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile.


    Then, he looked towards the cloaked elder, ¡°Elder Wu, then I will take Junior Brother Xu Yuan with me for now, I will inform you if there¡¯s anything.¡±


    ¡°Alright, that works too,¡± the cloaked elder agreed: ¡°Jiang Yuan, you need to treat Xu Yuan well.¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°If Junior Brother Xu Yuan can grow up, in the future, he will be a great help for me, and perhaps it will be a fine story for both of us brothers to Ascend to Heavenly God,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°Naturally, I will cultivate him with care.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother, let¡¯s go.¡±

 Chapter 773 03-25 - 409: You Come from the Divine Realm

    Chapter 773: Chapter 409: You Come from the Divine Realm


    Hu! Hu!


    The invisible force enshrouding them was extremely powerful. Li Yuan could not break free, nor did he dare to try. After passing through the layers of clouds above that world, reminiscent of a fairyland,


    They flew through the void for a long time.


    Suddenly, everything became clear.


    A vast and boundless realm appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s sight.


    The earth was limitless, and there was an enormous sun hanging in the sky.


    At the horizon of this world, one could vaguely see a colossal city, hovering in the void, appearing extremely grand and magnificent.


    ¡°Where is this?¡± Li Yuan wondered internally, but did not show it.


    ¡°We have already left the Abyss Demon Blood Den,¡± Jiang Yuan True God had stopped.


    Hearing this, a hint of surprise flickered across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    They had already left the Abyss Demon Blood Den?


    ¡°That distant city is the ¡®Blood Demon City¡¯ that my Abyss Country arranged around the Abyss Demon Blood Den,¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked towards Li Yuan, seeming to observe something.


    With his formidable strength, even though Li Yuan concealed it well, Jiang Yuan True God still captured the slight emotional fluctuation in Li Yuan when he heard the words.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, you entered through the Blood Demon City into the Abyss Demon Blood Den, did you not know?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said indifferently.


    Li Yuan was shocked.


    Instantly, Li Yuan noticed a change in Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°Of course, I knew,¡± Li Yuan responded.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan,¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Elder Wu was present before, and there were things inconvenient for me to disclose. Now, we should have a talk.¡±


    ¡°What does Senior Brother wish to discuss?¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly, rapidly considering his options in his mind.


    The other was a True God Limit Expert; if he wished to kill Li Yuan, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. Li Yuan had no power to resist.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°With such talent and strength, it¡¯s unlikely that a common Divine Kingdom could nurture you. Where do you come from?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Starry Sky Ancient City? Holy Land Sect? Or some sort of Divine Kingdom?¡±


    Li Yuan sighed internally.


    Here it comes!


    Arriving in this world, the biggest trouble was the issue of identity!


    All great power has its causes, and the more abnormal and attention-grabbing one¡¯s performance, the harder it becomes to conceal one¡¯s origin.


    Other major powers, whether they wanted to recruit him or harbor ill intent, would first investigate his background.


    Initially, Li Yuan wanted to leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den, learn more about Jue Xing Continent, and then slowly fabricate his own history.


    Unexpectedly,


    In the Abyss Demon Blood Den itself, he had encountered a True God Limit Expert.


    Right now, it was really tough for Li Yuan to concoct a story.


    ¡°Senior Brother, I was commanded to venture out for experience and training and must not disclose my origins,¡± Li Yuan said gravely, ¡°but I will certainly not be an enemy to Senior Brother. If Senior Brother does not trust me, I am willing to make an oath with the Law of the Great Dao.¡±


    This was the best explanation Li Yuan could come up with.


    ¡°Must not disclose? What if I compel you? Insist that you tell?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said lightly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    ¡°Junior Brother need not be tense. I am not one to persist unreasonably,¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan. ¡°I¡¯ll just ask you one thing¡ªare you from the Divine Realm?¡±


    Li Yuan was startled on the inside. Divine Realm?


    It was not surprising that the other party knew about the Divine Realm; after all, he was a disciple of Anchi Heavenly God.


    From Elder Wu¡¯s description, Li Yuan knew.


    The top powerhouses of this realm should all be familiar with the Divine Realm.


    But from the other¡¯s tone, did it mean that strong beings from the Divine Realm often descended to this world?


    ¡°Judging by the fluctuations of your Divine Soul, I should have guessed right,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said thoughtfully. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be surprised. Our realm once was part of the Divine Realm. I, being from the Jiang Family, and having received guidance from my Master, know some truths about Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°The most important points are¡ª¡±


    ¡°First, I have ordered a Pseudo-God under my command to check, and among the numerous trialists who entered the Abyss Demon Blood Den this year, your information was not found.¡±


    ¡°Second, your talent and strength are exceptional. It¡¯s highly unlikely that you are a Loose Cultivator. No matter which power you¡¯re affiliated with, you should be highly valued. However, you seem ignorant about the War of the Ancestral Realm, the Anchi Heavenly God, and so on. You don¡¯t even know the timing of the War of the Ancestral Realm, which is too unreasonable.¡±


    ¡°Third, historically, there have been many Flying Heaven and Demigods from the Divine Realm who have adventured on Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°Therefore¡ª¡±


    ¡°I guessed you might come from the Divine Realm, and you must have descended abruptly into the Abyss Demon Blood Den not long ago.¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, am I right?¡±


    Li Yuan internally sighed with resignation.


    It was to be expected from one of the pinnacle True Gods of Jue Xing Continent. His perspective and judgment were indeed extraordinary.


    ¡°You flatter me, Senior.¡±


    Li Yuan gave a wry smile and refrained from continuing to address him as Senior Brother, ¡°Indeed, I am not a creature of this realm, and I have indeed arrived not long ago.¡±


    Since the other party had spoken frankly, Li Yuan naturally wouldn¡¯t continue playing coy.


    ¡°Do not worry.¡±


    ¡°I harbor no ill will towards you.¡± Jiang Yuan True God still appeared very indifferent. ¡°I just don¡¯t know which power you come from in the Divine Realm. Can you tell me?¡±


    Li Yuan fell silent for a moment, then said, ¡°I come from the Chaos Divine Court, and more than that, I am unable to reveal.¡±


    This was a gamble on Li Yuan¡¯s part.


    Because Dongfang Ji had once mentioned ¡®Chaos Divine Court.¡¯


    Based on Li Yuan¡¯s conjecture, Dongfang Ji should only have become involved with the Chaos Divine Court after his adventures in Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    ¡°Chaos Divine Court? Indeed.¡± Jiang Yuan True God seemed unsurprised, ¡°You needn¡¯t call me Senior; continue to call me Senior Brother¡­ No matter where you come from, you are still a registered disciple of our teacher, that much is real.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a sense of relief.


    At least for now, there seemed to be no risk to his life.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, may I ask what your trial mission is?¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled. ¡°From what Elder Wu suggested, you are to participate in the War of the Ancestral Realm, aren¡¯t you, to seize the Ancestral Realm Order?¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless, unable to answer.


    At this moment, Li Yuan understood where he had slipped up¡­ All the information he had exchanged with Elder Wu, Jiang Yuan True God likely knew as well.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Is it indescribable?¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded slightly: ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t press for answers.¡±


    ¡°At the Flying Heaven Level to awaken the Eight Star Veins, even within the Chaos Divine Court, you are absolutely a demonically talented genius of the highest order.¡±


    ¡°I can help you.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan: ¡°What you are most worried about is probably revealing your identity¡­ With my help, your identity can easily be taken care of. If you wish to participate in the Ancestral Realm Battle, it will pose no difficulty.¡±


    ¡°Similarly, if you wish to access the Starry Sky Ancient City, it¡¯s not difficult either.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°I am King of the Abyss Country, but also the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Temple in the Jue Xing Ancient City. I can help you join the Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    King of the Abyss Country? That did not exceed Li Yuan¡¯s expectations. He could guess as much from the other¡¯s strength, name, and previous address.


    At the same time.


    This also explained why Jiang Yuan True God could arrive so quickly.


    Because this place was essentially within the Territory of Abyss Country.


    And no wonder Elder Wu did not intervene in the slaughter at the Abyss Demon Blood Den¡­ because the one behind the Blood Den¡¯s slaughter was likely Jiang Yuan True God himself.


    Moreover, Jiang Yuan True God was a direct disciple of Anchi Heavenly God.


    But it was the other identity related to the Jue Xing Ancient City that surprised Li Yuan?


    Jue Xing Ancient City is subtly the foremost of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.


    Law Enforcement Temple? From the name, it seems to be a powerful institution, and he is actually the Hall Master.


    Without a doubt.


    Jiang Yuan True God, within the Jue Xing Ancient City, is feared to be one of the top ranking influential figures.


    ¡°Senior brother is willing to help me, what does senior brother want me to do?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    He and the other person were neither relatives nor friends, so why would he help him like this?


    Just because of senior brothers in name? Unlikely.


    ¡°Guiding Order!¡± Jiang Yuan True God said straightforwardly.


    Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°You can come here, and you can leave.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile: ¡°Soon, you will probably leave the Jue Xing Continent, won¡¯t you?¡±


    Li Yuan had no way to answer.


    ¡°In the future, if I Ascend to Heavenly God, I will definitely leave the Jue Xing Continent for the Divine Realm, which is vast and truly a paradise for the mighty.¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes gleamed with yearning.


    Li Yuan did not expect the other party to have such ambitions.


    In an instant, Li Yuan had two guesses.


    First, Jiang Yuan True God must be very close to the realm of Heavenly Divine, even with a great chance of Ascending.


    Second, if he became a Heavenly Divine, he would have a way to travel from the Jue Xing Continent to the Divine Realm.


    ¡°In the future, if I go to the Chaos Divine Court to find you, I will need your help to introduce me, so that I can establish myself in the Chaos Divine Court,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God. ¡°Otherwise, as a foreign Heavenly Divine, I would probably be subject to many constraints.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, astounded.


    The other party was harboring such plans?


    ¡°Senior brother, I am of course willing.¡±


    ¡°But to introduce a Heavenly Divine, I am far from qualified at the moment; I must at least Ascend to Heavenly God to be eligible,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°I am only at the Flying Heaven Level right now.¡±


    From Flying Heaven Realm to Heavenly Divine, how distant is that?


    In fact, Li Yuan was not clear about the inner workings of the Chaos Divine Court.


    He was just guessing.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°With your talent, I think there is hope for you to become a Heavenly Divine in the future, don¡¯t think I am tens of thousands of years older than you,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile. ¡°A Heavenly Divine has a lifespan of three hundred thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Thousands of years later, if we are both Heavenly Divines, we will be peers, both still very young.¡±


    ¡°At that time, wouldn¡¯t it be a joy for us, senior and junior brothers, to meet in the Divine Realm?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with emotion.


    Li Yuan had to admit.


    Jiang Yuan True God is thinking far ahead, extremely optimistic¡­perhaps overly so.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, are you willing to agree?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°If you are willing, we shall make a pact and each make an oath according to the Law of the Great Dao.¡±


    To agree or not? S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I am willing,¡± Li Yuan said¡ªhow could he refuse?


    And Li Yuan also had his own thoughts, for with the help of Jiang Yuan True God, the hope of completing his mission could greatly increase.


    ¡°Good.¡± Jiang Yuan True God was quite satisfied and immediately said: ¡°I, hereby swear upon the Law of the Great Dao, during brother Xu Yuan¡¯s endeavors on the Jue Xing Continent, I will do my utmost to help.¡±


    Swiftly, an intangible wave descended.


    ¡°I¡­ swear, that once senior brother Jiang Yuan arrives in the Divine Realm, I will do my utmost to assist him in joining the Chaos Divine Court and strive to become part of its core circle,¡± Li Yuan also quickly made his vow according to the Law.


    Even if Li Yuan does not join the Chaos Divine Court in the future, it does not hinder the fulfillment of his oath.


    After all, doing one¡¯s utmost to help and striving¡­differs greatly from guaranteeing success.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Junior brother, let¡¯s first return to the Royal Capital, and then I will arrange things for you slowly,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Senior brother, wait,¡± Li Yuan said immediately: ¡°Before entering the Legacy Land, I had a companion who also entered the passage, and she should also be a descendant of senior brother¡­ I wonder if senior brother could help her survive?¡±


    Li Yuan still felt quite favorably towards Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°My descendant?¡±


    ¡°Let me have a look.¡± Jiang Yuan True God closed his eyes gently, but the aura he emitted became even more terrifying.


    Not long after.


    ¡°Found her.¡± Jiang Yuan True God opened his eyes again: ¡°Her talent potential is also quite good; if ignored, she will likely die within the Legacy Land.¡±


    ¡°Alright, since junior brother asked, I will give her a chance at life.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s hand, the clouds below immediately dispersed to both sides.


    Soon, a silver-armored young lady flew out from the clouds, still with fear and confusion on her face.


    The silver-armored girl landed, and at first glance, she saw Jiang Yuan True God and Li Yuan standing not far away.


    ¡°Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan was overjoyed, then, seeing another figure in green, her heart shook violently: ¡°The King?¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 774 - 410: Divine Fire Palace

    Chapter 774: Chapter 410: Divine Fire Palace


    ¡°Is that really the King?¡± Jiang Xuan was shocked in her heart.


    Her talent was not bad; after only decades of cultivation, her Law Comprehension was so high that she could become a Demigod at any time, and in the future, she even had a slim chance of Becoming Pseudo-God. Plus, her father was the Mist Mountain King¡­ It could be said that her status in the Royal Family was quite high.


    Therefore, at that time, Jiang Lei was quite fearful of her.


    But even so, from her birth until now, she had never seen the ¡®Ancestor¡¯ of their own Divine Kingdom, only many videos and portraits.


    It was Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s terrifying aura that made her suspect.


    ¡°Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan.


    She roughly understood in her heart that she survived the Killing Formation just now, probably thanks to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan.¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°This is your Abyss Country¡¯s Jiang Yuan True God, the founder of the nation.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, greets the Ancestor.¡± Jiang Xuan hurriedly paid her respects respectfully.


    ¡°You are called Jiang Xuan, the daughter of little Jiang Wu?¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked down at Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Xuan replied obediently.


    Jiang Wu was indeed her father¡¯s name.


    ¡°Jiang Wu is very good, it¡¯s a pity.¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head.


    He had many descendants, but over tens of thousands of years, not many could Become Pseudo-God. Jiang Wu had reached the Pseudo-God Peak, which was quite extraordinary, so naturally, he had been summoned a few times and even received some guidance.


    Unfortunately, he fell not long ago.


    Hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help feeling saddened; she also didn¡¯t see her father often, but he was always the object of her reverence.


    ¡°Your elder brother is Jiang Shan? In the future, reaching your father¡¯s level should be possible, and even reaching the realm of True God is hopeful; your talent is also fairly good.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said indifferently, ¡°Your lineage is quite remarkable.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Ancestor, for the praise.¡± Jiang Xuan was delighted in her heart.


    The Ancestor!


    What a being was that? As is known, Jue Xing Continent possesses three thousand Divine Kingdoms, which also vary in strength, and undoubtedly, Abyss Country is a top-tier nation, with a resounding reputation. And the origin of all this is Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°I rescued you from the Blood Den not because you are a Royal Family of the Divine Kingdom.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°But because Xu Yuan asked, if you want to give thanks, give them to him.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s heart trembled, she guessed right.


    She was also quite shocked, ¡°Who exactly is Brother Xu, to be treated so equally by the Ancestor? Could it be, he is the disciple that surpasses the True God existences mentioned in the legends?¡±


    She couldn¡¯t fathom Li Yuan¡¯s identity.


    ¡°From now on, Xu Yuan will join our Abyss Country and become a member of the Divine Fire Palace of our Abyss Country.¡± Jiang Yuan True God continued, ¡°Do not reveal his relationship with me, do you understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Jiang Xuan understands.¡± Jiang Xuan quickly replied.


    She was a little puzzled in her heart; with Li Yuan¡¯s strength and status, why would he join the Divine Kingdom?


    But Jiang Xuan didn¡¯t ask more.


    ¡°Okay, you may leave now.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Once you reach the Royal Capital, after the Divine Fire Palace updates the roster, you can contact Xu Yuan again.¡±


    Jiang Xuan nodded, then paid another respectful gesture to Xu Yuan, ¡°Brother Xu, I¡¯ll see you in Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Swoosh!


    Jiang Xuan turned into a streak of light and quickly flew towards the city at the edge of heaven and earth.


    She did not ask about the whereabouts of Xu Guo and the others, as from her own experience, she knew that those servants were more likely to have bad luck than good.


    Ask Jiang Yuan True God? The fact that the Ancestor saved her was already because Brother Xu spoke up.


    To inquire further would be to act without understanding the situation.

    Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan True God watched as Jiang Xuan flew away into the distance from the void.


    ¡°Junior Brother, my idea is to arrange for you to become a member of the ¡®Divine Fire Palace¡¯ of Abyss Country, and I will forge another origin for you, claiming you were born and raised in Abyss Country. With this identity, you will withstand any power¡¯s scrutiny.¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan, ¡°How does this sound to you?¡±


    ¡°Then I must trouble Senior Brother.¡± Li Yuan expressed his thanks.


    With the identity issue resolved, he could travel the Jue Xing Continent with peace of mind.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God waved his hand again, and a luminous Crystal Stone flew out: ¡°Having just arrived on Jue Xing Continent, you are likely unfamiliar with the situation of the whole continent. This Crystal Stone contains some general knowledge about Jue Xing Continent¡­ Some secret messages I cannot tell you.¡±


    ¡°But it will be enough for you to understand Jue Xing Continent.¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke, ¡°Use it now.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, he reached out to catch it, and with a movement of his Divine Sense, a huge amount of information emerged in his mind.


    An immense flood of information.


    Luckily!


    Li Yuan¡¯s Soul was now different than before, able to receive information much faster than in the past, and in just a few minutes, he had received all of the information.


    ¡°The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡±


    ¡°The Six Great Holy Lands! Three thousand kingdoms¡­¡± Li Yuan also finally understood enough about Jue Xing Continent.


    Vast and magnificent, full of wonders.


    Heavenly Gods stand at the Peak, either manipulating the continent in secret or heading to the more vast and magnificent Divine Realm.


    True Gods often command many Divines, stirring up war after war on the continent, conquering vast territories, and reigning supreme.


    Unceasing through billions of years.


    ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pill!¡±


    ¡°Ancestral Realm.¡±


    ¡°The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡± Li Yuan had keenly caught the core details amidst the complex information; all the grudges and entanglements on the entire Jue Xing Continent revolved around these three things.


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°As the teacher said, what makes our world different from the Divine Realm is the Jue Xing Divine Pill; this is the characteristic of Jue Xing Continent and is why the Star Meridians of the powerhouses in our world are generally stronger,¡± Jiang Yuan True God praised, ¡°And the place where Jue Xing Divine Pill comes from¡­ That is the Ancestral Realm! Exactly how it is born remains a mystery, even Teacher does not know, probably only the ¡®City Lords¡¯ of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities would know.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s information also only spoke of how miraculous the Jue Xing Divine Pill was, how did it come about? It remains a mystery.

    ¡°Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡±


    ¡°They are the sovereigns of the entire world, and their City Lords are Heavenly Gods generation after generation. Once they use Inheritance Divine Artifacts¡­ their strength skyrockets to a terrifying extent, far surpassing other Heavenly Gods, also cementing the status of the Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°All the major Divine Kingdoms must pay a massive amount of wealth to the Ancient Cities and also send their elite to the cities for training¡­ Even the Six Great Holy Lands are not comparable.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The Six Great Holy Lands are the major forces on the Jue Xing Continent, second only to the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, all founded by Heavenly Gods¡­ of course, whether there are still Heavenly Gods present in this generation remains a mystery.


    On the Jue Xing Continent, Heavenly Gods seldom take action.


    ¡°Like Teacher, who once had a conflict with a Heavenly God from the ¡®Changqing Ancient City¡¯.¡± Jiang Yuan True God sighed, ¡°In that battle, the City Lord of Changqing participated, using Inheritance Divine Artifacts¡­ It was two against one, and only then did Teacher lose and leave.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    Jue Xing Ancient City, Changqing Ancient City, Heavenly Snake Ancient City¡­ Among the three great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the first two are predominantly Human Race, while the latter is primarily led by the Divine Beast Clan powerhouses.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°The two parties actually do not have a life-and-death enmity; it was merely a contest for treasures, you need not worry too much.¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled, ¡°Moreover, if that Heavenly God wanted to take action, the primary target would be me.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s also why I haven¡¯t revealed that you and I are fellow disciples.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t reveal it, no one will know.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Having Jiang Yuan True God above him was indeed reassuring.


    ¡°I made you a member of Yuan Country for a key reason.¡±


    ¡°That is, Yuan Country is one of the core Divine Kingdoms of the Jue Xing Ancient City, with quotas for recommending entry to the ¡®Flying Heavenly Palace¡¯ and ¡®Semi-Divine Hall¡¯.¡± Jiang Yuan True God stated, ¡°It¡¯s only three months until the next round of recruitment for reserve members in the Jue Xing Ancient City. I will give you a slot¡­ with your strength, passing the assessments of the Jue Xing Ancient City should not be difficult.¡±


    ¡°Once through, you will be a reserve member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°At that time, many issues will not bother you; you will be able to handle them yourself.¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled slightly, ¡°Among the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, Jue Xing Ancient City is the first, with numerous treasures targeting Flying Heaven Semi-Divine within¡­ such treasures might be hard to come by even in the Divine Realm. How much you can obtain depends on your own skills.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡± Li Yuan sincerely expressed.


    Having someone high up really makes things easier!


    With Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s help, indeed much trouble was saved for him.


    ¡°In our world, the greatest opportunity is the Ancestral Realm Order.¡±


    ¡°I failed to obtain it.¡±


    ¡°Only twelve years are left until the next Ancestral Realm Battle.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Although you are extremely talented, your cultivation time is short. To seize it¡­ in any case, Junior Brother, I will help you.¡±


    ¡°But whether you can succeed ultimately depends on yourself.¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head, ¡°I cannot help you in the battle for the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother has already helped me a lot.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Li Yuan also vaguely understood.


    The arrangement by Jiang Yuan True God surely tested him¡­ even if he showed great talent, ascending to Heavenly God was not so simple.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Head to the Royal Capital of Yuan Country.¡± With a wave from Jiang Yuan True God, a warship suddenly appeared in the void.


    A True God Instrument! Li Yuan instantly sensed it.


    This warship was at least a True God Instrument.


    Whirring~ the hatch opened.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Following Jiang Yuan True God, Li Yuan immediately flew out from the warship, and as the warship started, it turned into a streak of silver light, reaching an incredible level.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the speed of this warship has reached one thousand kilometers per second,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice chimed in.


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A second, flying thousands of kilometers? Such speed was too exaggerated, worthy of a True God Limit Expert.


    Furthermore, this speed of the warship might still not be its limit speed.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan True God were both sitting cross-legged in silence.


    ¡°Unexpectedly.¡±


    ¡°Among the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, one is the Heavenly Snake Ancient City. According to the information from Senior Brother Jiang Yuan, it seems to be controlled by the Heavenly Serpent Clan.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Serpent Clan still has a legacy in this world¡­ it¡¯s truly lamentable.¡±


    Involuntarily, Li Yuan thought of a possibility.


    ¡°Could Little Ice have been transported to the region where the Heavenly Snake Ancient City is located?¡± There was a hint of hope in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Currently.


    Perhaps they were too far apart; for the moment, Li Yuan could not sense the soul aura of Liu Bing.


    ¡­


    After flying for several hours, crossing tens of millions of kilometers of land, the warship finally arrived at the Royal Capital of Yuan Country.


    Directly passing through the barriers, they entered the interior of the Royal Capital, where the speed of the warship also sharply decreased.


    ¡°Junior Brother.¡±


    ¡°This is my token. If something happens, you can communicate with me,¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled, ¡°If you face a life-threatening danger, you can even crush this token¡­ I will know immediately.¡±


    ¡°However, I hope you¡¯d best not crush this token.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother,¡± Li Yuan nodded. If he ever crushed the token, it would mean he couldn¡¯t withstand the danger, which in some sense would also mean a failure in the trial¡­ probably disappointing the other party.


    After storing the token,


    Whoo! Whoo!


    Li Yuan followed Jiang Yuan True God flying out from the warship, enabling a bird¡¯s-eye view of the entire Royal Capital of Yuan Country.


    ¡°What a huge city.¡± Li Yuan marveled silently, looking as far as the eye could see, the entire Royal Capital probably spanned thousands of kilometers, his vision barely reaching the edge.


    Truly vast!


    Perhaps, there are not many technological artifacts on the Jue Xing Continent, but in terms of prosperity, almost no city of the Seven Star Civilization could match the Royal Capital of Yuan Country.


    ¡°Junior, don¡¯t be too surprised.¡±


    ¡°The residences of the powerful often cover extensive areas because of their fast traveling speeds,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°This Royal Capital of Yuan Country likely harbors not just one True God, but also numerous Pseudo-Gods and Semi-Divine¡­ in the Divine Realm, many True God experts often occupy a whole planet as their lair.¡±

    Li Yuan understood.


    In the Mortal Domain, Pseudo-Gods were rare, and he realized some of his knowledge indeed needed revision.


    Sigh!


    Suddenly, a purple-robed elder flew over from not far away.


    ¡°King,¡± the purple-robed elder respectfully greeted.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, this is the Palace Master of the Divine Fire Palace, ¡®Sha Xi Pseudo-God,''¡± stated Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°I have seen Senior Sha Xi.¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Hello.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God smiled and nodded. He was still unsure of Li Yuan¡¯s status and did not dare to address him rashly.


    ¡°Sha Xi,¡± Jiang Yuan True God continued, ¡°Xu Yuan is a good friend entrusted to me.

    ¡°A slot to the Ancient City?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s eyes flickered with surprise. ¡°King, the slots have already been allocated.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God frowned, ¡°I said, give Xu Yuan a slot.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I will take care of it immediately,¡± responded Sha Xi Pseudo-God promptly.


    ¡°Additionally, do not reveal my relationship with Xu Yuan to anyone who asks. Treat Xu Yuan as you would any regular member of the Flying Heaven,¡± instructed Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Your subordinate understands,¡± replied Sha Xi Pseudo-God, realizing the King greatly valued this young man.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you follow Sha Xi Pseudo-God,¡± Jiang Yuan True God ordered.


    Immediately.


    Sigh!


    With a step, Jiang Yuan True God disappeared into the thick clouds, at the end of which a towering palace was faintly visible.


    That was the Abyss Country Palace, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s residence, a place common Pseudo-Gods were not qualified to approach.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Yuan, come with me,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said with a smile, realizing this young man¡¯s identity might not be ordinary.


    What kind of existence is the King?


    He is second only to the Heavenly Divine on the entire continent¡­ Entrusted by a good friend? What kind of friend would make the King take such an interest?


    But with Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s order, he dared not to inquire further.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two shuttled through the void and clouds.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, ordinary Demigods cannot travel through the clouds of the Royal Capital; they must fly along the roads,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God explained, ¡°Only Divine beings or core members of my Abyss Country can shuttle freely through restricted areas.¡±


    ¡°The Divine Fire Palace is part of the core layer.¡±


    ¡°In my Abyss Country, one power is the Royal Family and another is Myriad Gods Palace, Divine Fire Palace,¡± explained Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    Li Yuan listened.


    He already knew these details. The Royal Family was the foundation of the Abyss Country, all descendants of Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s bloodline, but the number of Divine beings was actually not large, with just over a dozen Pseudo-Gods.


    And the Myriad Gods Palace consisted of Minister Gods who joined the Abyss Country, among which the True Gods numbered a few, and Pseudo-Gods were over a thousand¡­ showing the terrifying strength of Jiang Yuan True God.


    Ordinary True Gods would not have so many Pseudo-Gods following them.


    This did not even include the forces Jiang Yuan True God could mobilize in the Jue Xing Ancient City.


    The Divine Fire Palace represented the Flying Heaven Level and Demigod Level geniuses of the country¡­ implying that anyone who joined should aim to Light Divine Fire.


    Shortly after.


    The two reached a very vast palace; even the entrance was guarded by two Demigods leading many Flying Heaven Level protectors.


    ¡°Palace Master.¡± Many guards saluted.


    ¡°This is the new member of my Divine Fire Palace, ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God indicated Li Yuan and notably stated, ¡°He will be directly ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List. Is everyone clear?¡±


    ¡°Directly ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List?¡± the group of guards was secretly shocked.


    ¡°Greetings, Young Master Xu Yuan.¡± The guards bowed one after another, including the two Demigod Commanders.


    Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.


    Traveling through the Divine Fire Palace, Sha Xi Pseudo-God introduced Li Yuan to various places which aid Cultivation, teaching areas¡­ Clearly, as a place for cultivating the country¡¯s talents, the environment of the Divine Fire Palace was excellent.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°From now until you depart for the Jue Xing Ancient City, reside in this mansion,¡± said Sha Xi Pseudo-God, ¡°If you need anything, come find me.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, each member of the Divine Fire Palace, when first ranked in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List or Demigod List, will receive a gift.¡±


    ¡°This gift, I will have someone deliver it to you shortly,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior,¡± voiced Li Yuan, turning into a stream of light and entering the rather luxurious mansion.


    Inside the mansion, there were many servants, including two at the Flying Heaven Level, and the rest as Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡± The servants saluted one after another, having just received a message.


    ¡°Proceed as usual in the mansion, do not bother me,¡± stated Li Yuan, ¡°Unless it¡¯s something important, do not disturb me.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the multitude of servants saluted.


    These servants, arranged by the Divine Fire Palace, could be commanded, punished, or even killed by him.


    Of course, if a servant was killed, a Divine Crystal penalty had to be paid.


    ¡°I am but a passerby in this Divine Fire Palace,¡± Li Yuan mused internally, and quickly proceeded to the depths of the mansion to the ¡®Quiet Chamber.¡¯


    Speedily.


    Li Yuan had initially refined the core of the mansion in the Quiet Chamber, directly activating the whole mansion¡¯s ¡®Origin Power Protection Array.¡¯


    Li Yuan had discovered.


    The technological artifacts of Jue Xing Continent were quite standard, but the application of Origin Power Secret Patterns was far superior to that of the Seven Star Civilization; in the Capital of Yuan Country, the presence of Origin Power Arrays could almost be felt everywhere.


    ¡°This Quiet Chamber, they really put effort into it,¡± meditated Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform inside, feeling his heart quickly calming down.


    The entire Quiet Chamber closed.


    ¡°Continue cultivating,¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes, continuing to ponder the fourth technique of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± he just realized.


    ¡­Outside Li Yuan¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°I just ordered those guards to salute,¡± thought Sha Xi Pseudo-God, ¡°Soon, Lord Illusion will probably receive the message.¡±


    He, as the venerated Palace Master of the Divine Fire Palace, wouldn¡¯t perform irrelevant acts.


    ¡°His only son being deprived of a slot, this matter won¡¯t be easy to gloss over,¡± felt Sha Xi Pseudo-God with some helplessness.


    The Jue Xing Ancient City recruits a batch of Reserve Members only once every twenty years.


    And in the Abyss Country, there were in total only twenty slots, ten of which were Flying Heaven Level and ten were Demigod Level.


    Thus, the opportunities were precious, and many of Abyss Country¡¯s influential figures kept an eye on the slots.


    While on the surface it looked like capacity mattered most, behind the scenes, background connections were also very important.


    For his son to secure a slot, Lord Illusion had spent a considerable price.


    ¡°If the King directly issued an order, it would be fine, Lord Illusion would have nothing to say,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God mused internally, ¡°Regrettably, the King did not allow the news to spread.¡±


    ¡°And the King directly placed him on the list instead of going through a trial¡­ probably, this Xu Yuan¡¯s strength is mediocre,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God speculated, ¡°Hopefully, he can withstand it.¡±

 Chapter 777 - 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace

    Chapter 777: Chapter 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace


    ¡°This Jue Xing Divine Pill has such a peculiar aura,¡± Li Yuan marveled as he gazed at the Jue Xing Divine Pill in his palm, exhaling an enticing fragrance that made him feel an irresistible desire to devour it completely.


    This alarmed Li Yuan.


    Although many exotic treasures contain a powerful origin that can exert a fatal attraction on life, even some poisons do this¡­ The stronger the life, the stronger the self-control, usually.


    ¡°In terms of self-control, I¡¯m not inferior to a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, yet it still provokes my inner desires,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If an ordinary Flying Heaven Level cultivator were to see it, they¡¯d probably be unable to resist and swallow it immediately.¡±


    According to what Li Yuan knew, in the Divine Realm, some divinities that were extremely proficient in enticing techniques could easily stir people¡¯s innermost desires.


    Desire can make one lose their reason.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan silently observed, his Divine Sense trying to penetrate the Jue Xing Divine Pill, only to find it was fully integrated, impossible to permeate.


    ¡°I was naive indeed.¡±


    ¡°This Jue Xing Divine Pill is a magnificent treasure birthed by the Jue Xing Continent over the eons, an enigma even to Heavenly Divines, accessible only through continuous transmission from the Ancestral Realm¡­ Me, being in the Flying Heaven Realm, dreaming to unravel its secret, is somewhat foolish,¡± Li Yuan mumbled to himself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just use it.¡±


    Along with the delivery of the Jue Xing Divine Pill came the method for its use.


    And in the intelligence given by Jiang Yuan True God, there was an abundance of images and descriptions of the Jue Xing Divine Pill¡¯s appearance and usage methods.


    This allowed Li Yuan to confirm the Jue Xing Divine Pill in front of him was genuine.


    ¡°With instructions from Jiang Yuan True God, and it being the first time both Sha Xi Pseudo-God and I have seen it, there¡¯s no need to set a trap for me over this,¡± Li Yuan set aside many thoughts in his mind, calming himself down.


    The method of using the Jue Xing Divine Pill is quite different from that of ordinary elixirs.


    Other elixirs are simply taken orally or applied externally; should the body be unable to withstand the potency of the elixir, it would be harmed instead.


    But the method of using the Jue Xing Divine Pill is through refinement.


    ¡°The Divine Pill is like a vessel, only through refinement can one extract the essence,¡± Li Yuan conjured the trick to using the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    Refinement!


    ¡°Hum~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, mighty Origin Power merged with Soul Power, enveloping the Jue Xing Divine Pill in front of him like flowing water, attempting to leave a Spiritual Imprint on its surface.


    The next instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡± An invisible Soul Shock burst forth from the interior of the Jue Xing Divine Pill, striking directly at Li Yuan¡¯s soul within his mind, causing a slight change in his expression.


    Li Yuan¡¯s changed expression wasn¡¯t due to the strength of this Soul Shock being very powerful; in fact, it was quite ordinary, and didn¡¯t even shake Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    Like a gentle breeze brushing the face.


    The key was.


    ¡°The Thousand Heart Lotus Platform didn¡¯t react at all? Not the slightest response,¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked, ¡°This Soul Shock directly strikes my Soul Origin? I must rely on my own soul and will to withstand the shock to successfully refine the Jue Xing Divine Pill?¡±


    The Soul Secret Treasure not taking effect was something Li Yuan had never encountered before.


    It was evidence of the unique nature of the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    ¡°Sss~¡± Resisting the invisible shock from the Jue Xing Divine Pill, Li Yuan successfully imprinted a Spiritual Mark.


    Immediately following.


    ¡°Swish~¡± The Jue Xing Divine Pill with purple patterns suddenly softened, and then swayed in the air like flowing water.


    This purple stream seemed to sense the direction of Li Yuan, directly flying towards him.


    ¡°The potency of the Jue Xing Divine Pill has been activated, if I don¡¯t use it, it will dissipate within ten seconds,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself; he was very clear about the particularity of Jue Xing.


    It must be refined by oneself in order to be used.


    After successful refinement, the Dan Water must be quickly integrated into the body, otherwise, it would be wasted.


    Thus, Li Yuan didn¡¯t resist. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Swish~¡± The purple stream quickly permeated Li Yuan¡¯s skin and then fully merged into his limbs and bones, as if vanished without a trace.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was astonished, in just one second, he could not find any trace of the Jue Xing Divine Pill within his body.


    ¡°Continue following the usage guide.¡±


    Li Yuan closed his eyes, his entire mental consciousness focused on that mysterious point within his body.


    That point, however, contained a vast starry sky.


    It was indeed the Life Starry Sky, with eight Star Meridians, like eight galaxies threading through the starry sky, shining off one another.


    And the hundreds of thousands of ¡®Unowned Life Stars¡¯ were scattered throughout the Life Starry Sky, unable to form a complete Star Meridian.


    These Unowned Life Stars were the Life Stars that Li Yuan had continuously awakened in the past.


    ¡°Inside every creature¡¯s body, there are hundreds and thousands of Star Meridians, each capable of awakening numerous Life Stars, but most of the Life Stars often fail to reach the threshold needed to form a Life Star Vein,¡± Li Yuan sensed throughout various parts of the Life Starry Sky, ¡°And each life can at most awaken ten Star Meridians.¡± (Chapter 149)


    ¡°This is the limit of Star Meridians that life can sustain.¡±


    As such, a great number of Unowned Life Stars are inevitable.


    This is also one of the reasons why it becomes increasingly difficult to awaken Star Meridians later on, Unowned Life Stars are useless¡­ but awakening them still requires a large amount of Soul Power.


    And before awakening, no one knows to which Star Meridian these Life Stars belong.


    Even when Li Yuan uses Spiritual Guidance, he can¡¯t make out the distinctions.


    Time passed, and after only a dozen or so seconds, Li Yuan awaited.


    ¡°Hum~¡± In the Life Starry Sky space, suddenly streams of mysterious airflow emerged, tinted a faint purple, extremely rarefied, and crossing the vast starry sky almost in the blink of an eye.


    They directly merged into Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan felt his Perception Ability rapidly increasing, as if magnified by a hundred or a thousand times in a moment, in the wide Starry Sky, the previously indistinct sensations unable to distinguish Dead Stars from Life Stars among the unawakened stars¡­ at this moment, they all became distinguishable.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Buzz~¡±¡±Buzz~¡±¡±Buzz~¡± Subconsciously, Li Yuan¡¯s soul had already followed this intangible induction, rapidly awakening a large number of Life Stars.


    Whoosh~ This astonishing perceptual effect was fleeting.


    The next moment, Li Yuan¡¯s soul had already returned to normal, with everything just now feeling like a dream.


    But the awakening of over three hundred Life Stars¡­ that was indisputably real.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°This! How is this possible?¡± A storm of shock surged in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°The peculiar power contained in the Jue Xing Divine Pill, it truly has the effect of Spiritual Guidance¡­¡±


    Just now, when he sensed that wisp of thin purple airflow in the Life Starry Sky, he had begun to doubt.


    Not until he used it, did he fully confirm.


    Having experienced Spiritual Guidance three times, Li Yuan was exceedingly clear about the power of this force.


    ¡°The effects of the Jue Xing Divine Pill are quite weak!¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Medicinal Power¡¯ produced by a Jue Xing Divine Pill is probably only one percent or even one-thousandth of a Spiritual Guidance.¡± Li Yuan judged.


    But thinking about it from another angle.


    If a person were to use thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills, then the cumulative effect might catch up to several bouts of ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯.


    ¡°Though Abyss Country is a first-rate nation and also one of the core Divine Kingdoms of the Jue Xing Ancient City, it is ultimately just a nation established by a True God¡­ Yet each of the top ten on the Flying Heaven List gets ten Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡± An idea emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    A bit of calculation is all it would take to know.


    If we look at the bigger picture, the entire Jue Xing Continent¡­ probably uses tens of thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills annually.


    Over the long years, the number of Jue Xing Divine Pills consumed would absolutely be astronomical in terms of quantity.


    ¡°For ordinary individuals at the Flying Heaven Realm and Demigods, Jue Xing Divine Pills are hard to acquire,¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°But for True Gods, obtaining a large number of Jue Xing Divine Pills should not be too difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan was most clear about the magic of Spiritual Guidance.


    Let alone thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills, even if tens or hundreds of thousands were consumed, if it could create a transcendent genius with the ¡®Second Rank Eight Star Veins,¡¯ it would absolutely be worth it.


    ¡°Powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°A super powerhouse is worth an ordinary strong person.¡± Li Yuan was very clear about this.


    A single powerhouse can change the destiny of a clan, of a civilization.


    ¡°But over the long years.¡±


    ¡°The powerhouses of Jue Xing Continent, while generally awakening stronger Star Meridians, are not ridiculously strong; the Nine Star Pulse remains a legend.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Hence, there is only one reason!


    ¡°Normal individuals at Flying Heaven Realm and Demigods probably can¡¯t use thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡± Li Yuan flipped his hand, and another Jue Xing Divine Pill appeared in his palm.


    Guiding the Origin Power with his Divine Sense, he wrapped the Jue Xing Divine Pill once again, attempting Refinement.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    Almost identical to before, an invisible Soul Shock burst forth in an instant from the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    ¡°Boom!¡± This Soul Shock, containing much greater Might than the last, disregarded the Defense of the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform and struck directly at the Soul Origin of Li Yuan.


    Rumbling~


    Li Yuan¡¯s soul and will were infinitely close to the Pseudo-God Level; the majority of the Demigods did not match him, so naturally, he could easily resist this Soul Shock.


    Before long.


    Using the power of this Jue Xing Divine Pill, Li Yuan once again awakened nearly three hundred Life Stars.


    The body is the source of the soul.


    Hence, the stronger the body, the stronger the soul will be.


    Likewise, once one steps into the Threshold of the Law, nurtured by the Law Origin, the soul often becomes stronger too.


    And will, related to one¡¯s experiences, is also connected to the strength of the soul.


    Li Yuan has been cultivating the ¡°Observing the Sun¡¯s Empty Heart Scripture¡±, and combined with his many experiences, he has forged such a terrifying soul and will.


    ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°Each one is the same.¡±


    ¡°But as described in intelligence reports, the more that are used, the stronger the Soul Shock becomes, growing stronger and stronger¡­ until the Soul Will cannot withstand the shock, then the Refinement fails.¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    On Jue Xing Continent, every strong individual has a limit to the number of Jue Xing Divine Pills they can use.


    This limit is the Soul Will!


    The stronger the Soul and Will, the more Jue Xing Divine Pills one can use!


    ¡°To awaken ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯ more times, likewise requires a high level of Soul Metamorphosis.¡± Li Yuan thought quietly: ¡°This Jue Xing Divine Pill is simply a super weakened version of ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯.¡±


    Even the ¡®purple airflow¡¯ transformed is suspected to be the same, it¡¯s just the quantity that is vastly different.


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind gave rise to many speculations and doubts.


    ¡°What exactly is the relationship between the Jue Xing Divine Pill and the Mind Spirit Divine Palace?¡±


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm¡­ Perhaps, if I could obtain an Ancestral Realm Order, I might be able to get some clues,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    At this moment, Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with a desire for the battle in the Ancestral Realm.


    Not just to fulfill the task of the unknown existence dressed in Purple Garment, not merely in pursuit of becoming Nine Star Pulse¡­ He wanted to uncover the secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Where exactly does this greatest support for his rise come from?


    ¡­


    Li Yuan eventually suppressed the many thoughts in his heart: ¡°No need for more contemplation, if I want to snatch the Ancestral Realm Order, I must first make my strength stronger, my current power is still far from enough.¡±


    ¡°Use two more Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°Continue.¡± A gleam shone in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Over the years of becoming Flying Heaven Realm, without Spiritual Guidance, on the basis of the Eight Star Veins, he awoke tens of thousands of Life Stars himself, like the progression from the sixth to the eighth Star Vein, the density of the Star Meridians increased.


    But all in all, the rate of awakening is progressively slowing down.


    Even if it can¡¯t keep up with the ease that comes with Jue Xing Divine Pills?


    ¡­


    In the Royal Capital of Abyss Country.


    Just as Sha Xi Pseudo-God predicted, at the gates of the Divine Fire Palace, his seemingly unintentional exposure of Li Yuan¡¯s identity afterward.

 Chapter 779 - 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace_3

    Chapter 779: Chapter 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace_3


    Within a very short period of time, news that ¡°A new member of the Flying Heaven Realm has joined the Divine Fire Palace and directly ranked in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List¡± spread rapidly within the Divine Fire Palace.


    A new member of the palace shouldn¡¯t have caused much of a stir,


    after all, there are nearly a thousand official members in the Divine Fire Palace.


    Among them, about two hundred are at the Flying Heaven Level, and over seven hundred are at the Semi-Divine Level¡­ but making it directly to the top ten of the Flying Heaven List, the meaning is entirely different.


    Especially when about to head to ¡®Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯, it draws even more attention.


    Purple Garment Marquis Mansion covers tens of kilometers.


    As a god from a different surname who was granted the title of marquis, it is quite rare and shows the strength of the Purple Garment Marquis in the Royal Capital by the sheer size of his estate.


    Among the thousands of Pseudo-Gods in Abyss Country, he is considered top-notch.


    Inside a palace within the marquis¡¯ estate.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°My spot has been taken?¡± The previously quite refined ¡®Leng Yan¡¯ suddenly changed his expression: ¡°The rankings were settled a month ago, how can they be changed?¡±


    ¡°I am not sure either, it was the Semi-Divine Guard ¡®Xue Mou¡¯ from the Divine Fire Palace who sent the message, and I reported to the Princely Heir immediately,¡± said the purple-garment woman hastily, bowing her head.


    He also secretly worried.


    Who could have imagined, with the spot already finalized, someone suddenly interrupted; this is very rare in the history of Abyss Country.


    If the Princely Heir becomes angry, that would be truly unjust.


    In the marquis¡¯ mansion, there are often servants killed by the Princely Heir¡­ many of whom are tortured to death.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Leng Yan¡¯s eyes were cold, a hint of malevolence flashing through.


    His temperament is naturally brutal.


    His cultivation talent is quite extraordinary, and he is the only son of the Phantom Body Marquis in over two thousand years, extremely pampered.


    It can be said,


    among the Flying Heaven Level in Yuan Country Capital, there are those with higher talent, but almost none with a stronger background¡­ there are also children of gods among the Flying Heaven Level in the capital, but very few are only children.


    ¡°Only know the name Xu Yuan, not sure about the background,¡± said the purple-garment woman hastily.


    ¡°Xu Yuan? I haven¡¯t heard of any powerful Xu family princes or marquises in the capital,¡± Leng Yan frowned, many thoughts flashing through his mind.


    He is arrogant, but not foolish.


    There are Xu-named Pseudo-Gods in the capital, but none have the status or power like his background¡­ they couldn¡¯t possibly replace his spot directly.


    ¡°What¡¯s the background?¡± Leng Yan thought to himself: ¡°It seems I need to see my father.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Leng Yan flew out of the palace directly towards the deeper area of the marquis¡¯ mansion.


    Along the way, numerous Flying Heaven Guards and even some Semi-Divine Guest Elders respectfully saluted.


    As a Peak Pseudo-God, the Phantom Body Marquis has under his command over three hundred Semi-Gods, among which there is a large number of Semi-Divine Peaks.


    Quickly.


    Leng Yan arrived at a palace in the deeper parts of the marquis¡¯ mansion, empty and seemingly filled with a chill even in the air.


    Sigh!


    Leng Yan didn¡¯t use the main door, but faced and walked towards the column in front, just in the moment of impending collision, his entire person passed through, disappearing on the square.


    ¡°Mother¡¯s cultivation dwelling.¡±


    ¡°All true can be illusion, all illusion can also be reality, Illusion Technique has already reached the pinnacle, this is where the title ¡®Phantom Body Marquis¡¯ comes from,¡± Leng Yan thought to himself.


    He worships his mother immensely.


    Entering the grand hall, the interior decoration was quite elegant, just like a mountain and water villa.


    ¡°Mother,¡± Leng Yan called out loudly.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, why come to me so suddenly? What¡¯s the matter?¡± a gentle voice sounded, followed by ripples in the void, a palace-dressed woman appeared in Leng Yan¡¯s vision, her eyes full of doting.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to disturb mother¡¯s cultivation,¡± Leng Yan said respectfully, he was very well-behaved in front of his mother: ¡°But I¡¯ve just received a message, from the Divine Fire Palace¡­¡±


    Leng Yan quickly explained the situation without any exaggeration, merely describing the facts.


    He knew not to influence his mother¡¯s judgment.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan? He took your spot? Can¡¯t someone else¡¯s spot be replaced?¡± the Phantom Body Marquis¡¯s face changed, a flicker of anger in her eyes: ¡°What a Sha Xi, such a big matter, and he didn¡¯t even tell me!¡±


    Leng Yan felt helpless inside, replacing someone else¡¯s spot?


    Although it¡¯s possible to manipulate the rankings in the top ten of both the Flying Heaven List and the Semi-Divine List privately¡­ but all these actions are done secretly, it couldn¡¯t be falsified publicly.


    His real strength was just barely making it to the top twenty among the Flying Heaven Level in the Divine Fire Palace¡­ managing to get to tenth was already the limit.


    Continue upward?


    The higher the ranking, the more likely errors would occur, especially since Jue Xing Ancient City would conduct another assessment later. If he was ranked fourth or fifth now¡­ it would be very easy to expose faults when reaching Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Even if it was just for a spot in Jue Xing Ancient City, there wasn¡¯t much difference between the tenth and the first of the Flying Heaven List.


    But who could have expected a Li Yuan to suddenly appear?


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, wait here.¡±


    Without any hesitation, the Phantom Body Marquis, enraged, immediately contacted Sha Xi Pseudo-God for clarification.


    As time trickled by.


    After a full two minutes.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er.¡±


    Purple Garment Marquis looked down at Leng Yan, solemnly saying, ¡°I¡¯ve made inquiries clearly. The replacement of the nominee was not Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s idea. It must have come from a higher authority and pressure.¡±


    ¡°A higher authority?¡± Leng Yan was shocked. ¡°Mother, could it be the King?¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be.¡±


    ¡°If it were a direct order from the King, a command would have been sufficient to inform me,¡± said Purple Garment Marquis, shaking her head. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s one of the True Gods, or maybe a Pseudo-God who has spent a great deal of effort to secure a spot for their descendants.¡±


    Leng Yan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Within the Divine Kingdom, aside from the King, there exist several True Gods with high status¡­ it¡¯s also possible for those at the Pseudo-God Peak if they are willing to pay a huge price.


    ¡°Mother, what should I do?¡± Leng Yan couldn¡¯t hold back.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°That Xu Yuan definitely has a background, but we must still contend,¡± Purple Garment Marquis looked at her son and said, ¡°I can¡¯t intervene directly, but I will help you by finding the King. I also need a reason to do so.¡±


    ¡°A reason?¡± Leng Yan was startled.


    Immediately.


    Purple Garment Marquis revealed her plan, continuing, ¡°Yan¡¯er, this is an open strategy. As long as you succeed, I will have a sufficient reason.¡±


    ¡°Besides.¡±


    ¡°This is also a test for you, I can¡¯t protect you forever,¡± Purple Garment Marquis spoke gravely. ¡°Even if you go to Jue Xing Ancient City, whether you can Ascend to God in the future depends on yourself.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Leng Yan clenched his teeth and said, ¡°I will try my best.¡±


    He was also clear about the pros and cons.


    In Yuan Country, with his mother¡¯s protection, it¡¯s not difficult for him to become a Semi-Divine¡­ but in Jue Xing Ancient City, let alone Pseudo-Gods, even True Gods are numerous; his background counts for little.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m going now,¡± said Leng Yan as he swiftly left.


    Inside the palace, only Purple Garment Marquis was left.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s background, unspeakable?¡±


    ¡°Nevertheless, never think of assassinating Xu Yuan?¡± Purple Garment Marquis¡¯s eyes shifted as Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s warning echoed in her mind again.


    As Divine beings.


    When facing threats, their first thought is often to simply kill¡­ a dead man no longer poses a threat.


    Yet, against Xu Yuan, this tactic doesn¡¯t work. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan¡¯s background, it must be one of the True Gods,¡± Purple Marquis¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°But how does it matter if it¡¯s a True God? I am directly subordinate to the King as Prince¡­ as long as I follow the rules, even True Gods can do nothing against me.¡±


    Due to the practice of a special Secret Technique, it was extremely difficult for her to have children.


    Over two thousand years old!


    All she had is this son, Leng Yan; she wouldn¡¯t mind offending True Gods for his cultivation opportunities.


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Palace, inside Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    In the Quiet Chamber.


    He had refined and consumed all ten Jue Xing Divine Pills in one go.


    ¡°Ten Jue Xing Divine Pills, and they prompted nearly three thousand Life Stars to awaken in one go?¡± Sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform, Li Yuan marveled internally: ¡°The effect is truly astonishing.¡±


    Although it was far from the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    As Li Yuan¡¯s vision grew, he also realized how miraculous the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is¡­ even Heavenly Divines probably do not possess such an extraordinary item.


    What about the Jue Xing Divine Pill then? It continuously emerges, allowing countless cultivators to use it.


    ¡°However!¡±


    ¡°Each additional Jue Xing Divine Pill I consume, the Soul Shock becomes stronger, and the increase is not small,¡± Li Yuan thought secretly. ¡°Just ten pills, and I already felt the pressure from the Soul Shock.¡±


    Based on the increase in Soul Shock, Li Yuan felt that if he used about fifty or sixty Jue Xing Divine Pills, he would probably reach his limit.


    ¡°No wonder only ten Jue Xing Divine Pills were bestowed.¡±


    ¡°At the Flying Heaven Level, even the so-called top ten on the Flying Heaven List, most probably haven¡¯t awakened a Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ using the Jue Xing Divine Pill likely won¡¯t reach ten pills,¡± Li Yuan mumbled to himself.


    Li Yuan also realized that for top geniuses in Jue Xing Continent, to extensively use Jue Xing Divine Pills to assist in awakening Star Meridians¡­ they probably must wait to reach the Semi-Divine Level.


    ¡°But I¡¯m different.¡±


    ¡°I must find a way.¡±


    ¡°First, to obtain more Jue Xing Divine Pills,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with increasing desire, ¡°Second, to strive for a Soul Metamorphosis, reaching the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    ¡°Then, not only could the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening reach 100%, but I could also use more Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°Thus, my chances of becoming a Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°And possibly even a Ten-Star Meridian in the future as a Semi-Divine, will be greatly enhanced.¡± Li Yuan truly realized the opportunities in Jue Xing Continent.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan was not in a hurry; having just arrived at the Divine Fire Palace, Jiang Yuan True God probably hadn¡¯t even properly forged his identity yet; there was no need to be too conspicuous.

 Chapter 780 - 412: Demigod Eight Star Veins! First Meeting Jing Kui

    Chapter 780: Chapter 412: Demigod Eight Star Veins! First Meeting Jing Kui


    ¡°Jiang Shan?¡±


    Li Yuan said, ¡°I have heard of the Princely Heir Jiang Shan¡¯s fame, but I do not know why the Princely Heir would invite me?¡±


    ¡°If you do not state the reason, I am afraid I will not go.¡± Li Yuan said indifferently.


    Jiang Shan, the brother of Jiang Xuan, is also a top-tier genius with the God Level Seven Star Veins¡­ but what does this have to do with Li Yuan.


    The servants standing by were all somewhat surprised upon hearing this¡­ His Highness Jiang Shan, he is a significant figure in the Royal Capital.


    Their own master actually refused?


    ¡°What? Not going?¡± A servant from the Royal Mansion was also startled.


    Though he addressed him as ¡®Young Master Xu Yuan¡¯, he actually appeared quite arrogant.


    In his view, an invitation from their lord is coveted by many in the Royal Capital, and a member of Divine Fire Palace at Flying Heaven Level would probably be thrilled to accept the invitation.


    ¡°Young Master Xu Yuan.¡± The servant frowned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for the harsh words, but our lord is¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Suddenly, a reprimanding voice arose, followed by a flash of silver light flying in through the mansion¡¯s main gate: ¡°I asked you to respectfully invite Xu Yuan, what are you doing?¡±


    ¡°Your Highness! How did you come here?¡± The servant was stunned.


    The person who arrived was Jiang Xuan, her face full of anger. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan.¡± Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±


    Seeing Jiang Xuan, Li Yuan roughly understood the reason behind Jiang Shan¡¯s invitation.


    ¡°Brother Xu, I apologize.¡± Jiang Xuan looked remorseful, ¡°There are many things I can¡¯t fully explain to my brother, please don¡¯t blame¡­ just now I was worried about this servant¡¯s strange behavior, so I rushed over immediately.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Li Yuan knew that Jiang Xuan was kind but also extremely clever; she probably wouldn¡¯t reveal too much even under the commands of Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Brother Xu saved me, and my brother has already come to know of it, thus he wants to host the banquet to express his gratitude, that¡¯s all.¡± Jiang Xuan said expectantly, ¡°I hope Brother Xu can honor us with his presence.¡±


    The bystanders were all agape.


    Jiang Xuan? Many here did not actually recognize her, but that did not prevent them from understanding that she must be Jiang Shan¡¯s sister, assuredly also a royal lady.


    So polite towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Who is this Xu Yuan, and what is his significance?¡± The Royal Mansion servant was even more flustered.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, then lead the way,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    He just happened to have some matters to inquire about.


    Though capable of asking Jiang Xuan True God for help¡­ if he needed her assistance for everything, he would likely be looked down upon.


    ¡°Brother Xu, please.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll lead the way.¡±


    Saying this, she glanced at the servant, ¡°Go back to the mansion and accept your punishment!¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Young Master Xu Yuan,¡± the servant quickly responded, secretly relieved.


    This was already the lightest punishment.


    Following this, Jiang Xuan led the way, and Li Yuan flew out of the mansion, heading outside the Divine Fire Palace.


    But they did not notice.


    Within the Divine Fire Palace, several pairs of eyes were fixated on Li Yuan¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°Quickly report to the Princely Heir, tell him that Xu Yuan has left the mansion, following ¡®Princess Jiang Xuan¡¯ from the Mist Mountain Mansion, unknown where they are heading.¡±


    ¡°Send someone to follow.¡±


    ¡­


    Yuan Country Capital, immensely vast.


    Each street was extremely wide, and the ground was lavishly paved, all emanating strong spiritual energy, while many luxurious buildings were built upon the clouds, filled with a mystical beauty.


    A massive black dragon, moving along the cloudy streets, with many smaller black dragons following.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been rushing these past few days, purposely taking a God Level Warship, just to rush back to the Royal Capital.¡± Jiang Xuan said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Brother Xu to have arrived much earlier, and even directly joined the Divine Fire Palace.¡±


    ¡°With Brother Xu¡¯s strength, taking the first place on the Flying Heaven List would be effortless.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled, ¡°Being merely tenth on the Flying Heaven List is an understatement.¡±


    Jiang Xuan had personally witnessed Xu Yuan in action.


    ¡°It was directly arranged, just a nominal status.¡± Li Yuan said, the difference between ranking first and tenth was not significant.


    ¡°This Black Dragon Puppet Mount is quite nice,¡± Li Yuan stood on the Black Dragon, smiling.


    ¡°This is one of the mounts gifted by the King to my father, its value is comparable to a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact.¡± Jiang Xuan explained at one side, ¡°Within the Royal Capital, only princes and commanders can use it.¡±


    Li Yuan slightly nodded, having read many reports, he also knew the strict hierarchy within the Divine Palaces.


    Even if one owned treasures, one must have high enough status to use them.


    ¡°Brother, someone is following us,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan, sitting on the Jade Platform, glanced back, the person, despite hiding their presence, was still noticed.


    ¡°What is it, Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°A small matter, someone is following us,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Following?¡± A hint of anger appeared on Jiang Xuan¡¯s face, her mind moved, and she quickly lifted the ¡®Sound Barrier Formation¡¯ from their area, turned her head, and said, ¡°Commander Mo, someone is following us, please check immediately.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± A Half-God Commander standing behind them immediately bowed.


    ¡°Third squad, follow me.¡± Commander Mo commanded.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two Half-Gods and several dozens of Flying Heaven Peak individuals immediately turned into streaks of light and rushed towards the back of the group.


    After a short while,


    Commander Mo returned with his troops, his face quite solemn.


    ¡°Reporting to Your Highness, we have found out that the followers are from the Virtual True Marquis Mansion, as for the reason for following, they did not reveal, and I did not dare to confront them, I await your punishment, Your Highness,¡± Commander Mo bowed.


    ¡°Virtual True Marquis Mansion?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, she waved her hand, ¡°I understand, it¡¯s correct not to confront, Commander Mo, you may step back now.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Commander Mo retreated quite a distance.


    The formation was once again activated, making these guards unable to hear Li Yuan and Jiang Xuan¡¯s conversation again.


    ¡°Brother Xu, it¡¯s probably targeted at you,¡± Jiang Xuan spoke softly.


    ¡°Targeted at me?¡± Li Yuan was curious, he had just arrived at the Royal Capital and should not have offended anyone.

    Chapter 781: Chapter 412 Demigod Eight Star Veins! First Encounter with Jing Kui_2


    ¡°The one you¡¯re replacing in the tenth spot of the Flying Heaven List is ¡®Leng Yan¡¯ from the Illusionary Manor, a scoundrel who acts maliciously under the protection of his mother¡¯s background.¡± There was a hint of disgust on Jiang Xuan¡¯s face.


    She disliked such spoiled young masters the most.


    ¡°Leng Yan?¡± Li Yuan laughed: ¡°Jiang Xuan, tell me about this Illusionary Manor.¡±


    In the information Li Yuan had obtained, there was nothing about the Illusionary Manor.


    After all, with the countless deities in the Jue Xing Continent, it¡¯s impossible for Jiang Yuan True God to remember them all.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Jiang Xuan nodded repeatedly.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan also learned about the details of the Illusionary Manor, and its relation to him.


    ¡°So, the people of Illusionary Manor are following me because they think I¡¯ve stolen Leng Yan¡¯s spot?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    It was not surprising that they hated him because of this.


    If he were in their shoes, and his spot was suddenly snatched, he would probably be very upset too.


    ¡°This spot of Leng Yan, he got it by underhanded methods, it¡¯s better that big brother Xu snatched it,¡± Jiang Xuan continued: ¡°Besides, what qualifications does he have to compete with big brother Xu? A fool!¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for his mother¡¯s protection, who knows how many people would want to kill him,¡± said Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Big brother Xu, rest assured.¡±


    ¡°No matter how much the Lord of Illusionary Manor dotes on Leng Yan, he wouldn¡¯t dare to confront you directly,¡± Jiang Xuan said: ¡°Inside the Royal Capital, besides some special places, slaughter is strictly forbidden, and you are a member of the Divine Fire Palace¡­ everything is governed by the laws of the Divine Kingdom.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, but he didn¡¯t take it seriously.


    The laws of the Divine Kingdom?


    Laws also look at the person; if a True God Peak takes action, these laws become nothing but paper.


    ¡°We must be careful, do not leave the Royal Capital for now,¡± Li Yuan said to himself: ¡°Even exiting the Divine Fire Palace should be limited.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t grasp the temperament of the Lord of Illusionary Manor.


    Li Yuan would not bet his ¡®life¡¯ on the possible protection of Jiang Yuan True God.


    If a Peak of Pseudo-God wished to kill him, a sudden strike would be enough.


    Not even a Heavenly Divine might come in time to save him.


    ¡°Big brother Xu, that is the Nine Sound Building,¡± Jiang Xuan pointed toward the vast complex of buildings in the distance and said: ¡°Built by the Nine Sounds True God, it is also the most extravagant place in the Royal Capital, with all kinds of pleasures available.¡±


    ¡°Uh-huh.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, with a trace of emotion in his heart.


    At a glance, the Nine Sound Building covered hundreds of kilometers, with nine towers being the most dazzling, each thousands of meters tall.


    It was the most splendid complex of buildings Li Yuan had ever seen.


    ¡°Truly worthy of the Nine Sounds True God.¡± Li Yuan smiled, this true god was one of the true bodies following Jiang Yuan True God, reputed to be extremely skilled in the way of music, according to the information.


    Whoosh~


    The massive team of black dragon puppets, like a streak of light, flew directly towards one of the main towers.


    This scene made many guests entering and exiting the Nine Sound Building couldn¡¯t help but look up.


    According to the rules of the Nine Sound Building, being able to fly in directly was very rare.


    ¡°It¡¯s the entourage of the Mist Mountain King¡¯s Mansion,¡± someone recognized.


    ¡°Mist Mountain King? The royal king who fell? Still maintains so much pomp?¡±


    ¡°Quiet! What do you know? Mist Mountain King might be dead, but his son ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯ is widely acknowledged to have the potential of his father, hence the royal family hasn¡¯t even reclaimed the title of king, just waiting for Prince Jiang Shan to ascend to godhood and inherit the position of Mist Mountain King.¡± Much well-informed chatter went around in different towers.


    ¡°Welcome, Princess Jiang Xuan.¡±


    ¡°Respectfully greeting young master Xu Yuan.¡± Along with thousands of maids and servant, most are just Prime Warriors, but there were also dozens of Flying Heaven Level, standing on their respective puppet flying discs, forming a passageway on either side of the procession, bowing with respect.


    Black dragon as a seat, the void as a corridor.


    Even for someone with broad horizons like Li Yuan, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart.


    Such extravagance!


    No wonder it dares to be known as the top Land of Enjoyment of a formidable Divine Kingdom.


    Looking out from the four corners of the towers, many heard the welcoming voices and immediately showed a curious look: ¡°Young master Xu Yuan? Who is Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Never heard of him!¡±


    ¡°I seem to remember hearing about it, yesterday, the Flying Heaven List of the Divine Fire Palace was updated, a new name appeared in the tenth spot, named Xu Yuan, is that him?¡±


    ¡°Possibly!¡±


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, could he be related to the Mist Mountain King¡¯s Mansion?¡± Many of the pleasure-seekers in the Nine Sound Building, a lot of them were middle to high-level individuals in the Abyss Country, started pondering this.


    And in one of the large towers, at the top floor hall by the window, was just the right position to see the black dragon entourage pass by.


    Inside the hall.


    ¡°Young master Xu Yuan?¡± The young man in the black robe revealed a playful look: ¡°Is it Jiang Shan who is hosting the banquet?¡±


    Boom!


    His Divine Sense spread out vigorously, pouring directly into the head of that black dragon puppet, attempting to make an Inquiry.


    Although the black dragon puppet was protected by many prohibitions, the layers of protection clearly couldn¡¯t stop the black-robed youth.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Divine Sense?¡± Li Yuan on the black dragon puppet immediately sensed something and struck back with his own Divine Sense.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Two powerful Divine Senses collided instantly.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Level Soul? A Pseudo-God?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, realizing he was at a disadvantage, he couldn¡¯t help but look towards the top of the pavilion.


    He happened to catch sight of the black-robed youth looking down through the window, their gazes meeting.


    ¡°[Target Life Level 48.9, elimination yields Spirituality Nourishment]¡± Li Yuan used Divine Palace Exploration and learned some information about the other party.


    A Demigod with Eight Star Veins? Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Where did this extraordinary being spring from?


    According to the information Jiang Yuan True God provided him, Abyss Country didn¡¯t have such a prodigious monster¡­ Even looking at the entire Jue Xing Continent, such prodigious monsters should be the top geniuses of their generation.


    Moreover, how could a Demigod possess a Pseudo-God Level Soul?


    It¡¯s known that further down the path of cultivation, it becomes increasingly difficult for the soul to undergo transformation, making surpassing one¡¯s own realm even more challenging.


    ¡°At least from the perspective of Star Meridian and Soul Level, this guy is no less than the Dongfang Alliance Leader,¡± Li Yuan thought in awe.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with a Soul Will nearly at the Pseudo-God Level?¡± The black-robed youth was also surprised.


    Although he had an absolute advantage in the clash of Divine Senses, it wasn¡¯t a significant one.


    Clearly, the opponent¡¯s Soul Will was exceptionally strong.


    ¡°Interesting, such a powerful Flying Heaven Level, there aren¡¯t many like this in Jue Xing Ancient City,¡± the black-robed youth mused in awe.


    He couldn¡¯t resist sending a telepathic message: ¡°Brother, such a strong Soul Will, are you called Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°The senior¡¯s Soul is even stronger,¡± Li Yuan responded politely.


    He had no doubt that this mysterious Demigod was definitely a terrifying existence capable of contending with a Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Haha, I have just cultivated for longer years,¡± the black-robed youth said with a smile, and continued to telepathically communicate: ¡°Xu Yuan, I will remember you. My name is Jing Kui, we will meet again in Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    And with that,


    The black-robed youth turned away and vanished from Li Yuan¡¯s sight.


    ¡°Jing Kui?¡± Li Yuan silently noted the name, which was not mentioned in any of Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s intelligence.


    But judging from the other party¡¯s words, he should be one of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s ¡®top geniuses¡¯.


    ¡°Jue Xing Continent indeed has hidden dragons and crouching tigers,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°If I wish to lay claim to the Ancestral Realm Order, there is still a long path ahead of me.¡±


    With only twelve years left until the battle for the Ancestral Realm.


    Perhaps this mysterious ¡®Jing Kui the Demigod¡¯ would participate in the battle.


    ¡°Big Brother Xu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Xuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Nothing,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Except for the two who clashed, no one else noticed the incident with the Divine Senses.


    ¡­


    Inside Marquis Mansion Huanzhen.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, has he finally deigned to show himself?¡±


    Leng Yan listened to his subordinate¡¯s report, his eyes cold: ¡°I thought he would always hide in Divine Fire Palace, in that case, it would be difficult for me to deal with him.¡±


    ¡°My lord, they are heading to Nine Sound Building,¡± the black-robed elder beside him hesitated to say: ¡°According to intelligence, it seems Prince Jiang Shan is entertaining Xu Yuan, should we be more cautious?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan¡¯s banquet?¡±


    Leng Yan sneered: ¡°Xu Yuan managed to take my spot, perhaps Jiang Shan is behind this, no wonder he¡¯s sneaking around¡­ he must not dare to confront my mother directly.¡±


    ¡°Inform the others, follow me to Nine Sound Building,¡± Leng Yan said in a low voice.


    ¡°But, Jiang Shan¡­¡± the black-robed elder couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Others may fear Jiang Shan, but I do not,¡± said Leng Yan, his eyes cold: ¡°Mist Mountain King respected my mother to some extent even when he was alive, let alone now that Mist Mountain King has passed away.¡±


    ¡°How can I shrink back when Xu Yuan has cut my cultivation opportunity.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Leng Yan stepped out of the hall, soon after soared into the sky, as a Blue Dragon Warship floated over from a distance.


    Many figures also flew out from all over the Marquis Mansion and entered the Warship.


    ¡°Others may fear Jiang Shan, but I do not,¡± said Leng Yan, his eyes cold: ¡°Mist Mountain King respected my mother to some extent even when he was alive, let alone now that Mist Mountain King has passed away.¡±

 Chapter 782 - 413: Inside the Silent Sound Pavilion

    Chapter 782: Chapter 413: Inside the Silent Sound Pavilion


    Nine Sound Building.


    Li Yuan had been led by Jiang Xuan to the top layer of the most core ¡®Silent Sound Building¡¯.


    This layer of the hall covered nearly a kilometer in radius, with various rare and exotic decorative items dazzling to the eye, but it wasn¡¯t a mere pileup; it was meticulously designed, resembling a fairyland.


    In the center of the main hall, like a small lake, the mist and ripples were immense. In the middle of the lake, numerous dancing girls were gracefully dancing, all of them at Flying Heaven Level with enchanting figures.


    The most eye-catching was a purple-garment musician, infusing Origin Power into multiple musical instruments.


    The combination of sounds from these instruments elicited an extremely unique and infectious power of music.


    It even touched Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Next to him, Jiang Xuan, as well as the faces of those at Flying Heaven Level in separate Quiet Chambers around the hall, all had a look of fascination.


    Clearly, the music had a significant impact on them.


    ¡°Hmm? A Semi-Divine Musician?¡± A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes. Such a musician, definitely a strong person adept at Soul Attacks, would be willing to serve as a musician here?


    ¡°Big Brother Xu, the music here is extraordinary, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Jiang Xuan whispered softly, ¡°Silent Sound Building is the place in Nine Sound Building where music reaches the peak of beauty, capable of touching the soul of life. Some weaker individuals might even cry uncontrollably.¡±


    Li Yuan could not help but smile.


    Touch the soul of life? That phrase was too exaggerated.


    But Li Yuan had to admit that the musicians of Nine Sound Building were indeed extraordinary.


    ¡°Big Brother Xu, this way please.¡± Jiang Xuan led Xu Yuan to the entrance of the largest elegant room. There were several Semi-Divine guards at the door.


    Their attire was not much different from Commander Mo, evidently, they were guards of the Mist Mountain King¡¯s Palace.


    ¡°Your Highness, Young Master Xu Yuan.¡± A few Semi-Divine guards respectfully saluted.


    A young man in silver armor proactively walked over.


    ¡°Big brother, Xu Yuan has arrived.¡± Jiang Xuan went forward to introduce: ¡°Xu Yuan, this is my elder brother ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, Brother Xu Yuan, welcome.¡± The silver-armored young man smiled, ¡°Just a few days ago, I heard Sha Xi Pseudo-God gave the order, directly naming you the tenth on the Divine Fire Palace Flying Heaven List. I was curious who it was. Today, after my sister returned, I learned that you¡¯ve already met in advance.¡±


    The silver-armored young man displayed extraordinary heroism, inherently possessing a noble aura, like a refined noble son with a warm and convincing smile on his face.


    This was the current top talent of the Royal Family of Abyss Country, ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯.


    ¡°I¡¯ve long heard of the renowned name of Prince Jiang Shan. Seeing you today, your reputation is well-deserved.¡± Li Yuan said politely.


    The strength and status of the other party were extraordinary, and making his acquaintance would indeed be beneficial to Li Yuan¡¯s endeavors on the Jue Xing Continent.


    Hoo! Hoo!


    Two more figures emerged from the elegant room, one dressed in a black robe with a burly figure exuding a rather domineering presence.


    The other wore a white robe, his long hair casually draped over his shoulders, showing a certain carefree spirit.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    Jiang Shan said with a smile, pointing to the burly man in the black robe, ¡°Let me introduce him to you, this is Baili Teng, a good friend of mine. His father is the Marquis Xuanhe, but he has chosen not to rely on his father¡¯s prestige, relying solely on his own strength to be ranked among the top ten on our Abyss Country¡¯s Semi-Divine List, and is on the verge of achieving Pseudo-God level. Three months from now, he will also go to Jue Xing Ancient City, so I thought we should get acquainted in advance.¡±


    ¡°Baili Teng?¡± Li Yuan noted silently.


    On the way here.


    Li Yuan and Jiang Xuan talked along the way, and he learned the identities of the two individuals attending the banquet today, both of whom were quite exceptional.


    And Li Yuan also learned that among the public Semi-Divine in Abyss Country, there were only two with Seven Star Veins, ranked first and second on the Semi-Divine List.


    And to stand out from the several hundred thousand Semi-Divine in Abyss Country and to be ranked in the top ten on the Semi-Divine List, one¡¯s strength was extraordinary indeed.


    At the very least, they all had Six Star Pulse and mastered the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, and their Law Comprehension generally reached Pseudo-God Level¡­ All in all, those who were ranked in the top ten of Abyss Country¡¯s Semi-Divine List, even if their strength hadn¡¯t reached the threshold of Pseudo-God level, the difference was generally not significant.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, nice to meet you.¡± Baili Teng said in a deep voice.


    ¡°Brother Baili.¡± Li Yuan was very polite, with the other being so cordial, he had to be the same.


    In terms of strength, he was still far from matching the other.


    ¡°This one is also a good friend of mine, Yan Long.¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile, ¡°He is the son of ¡®Yan Qing Pseudo-God,¡¯ my father¡¯s lifelong friend. His own strength is also quite remarkable.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡± Yan Long in a white robe, casually nodded.


    ¡°Brother Yan Long.¡± Li Yuan also nodded slightly, his senses were extremely sharp, weren¡¯t they? This Yan Long Semi-Divine seemed to have a hint of hostility, even though he hid it well, but it was still captured by Li Yuan.


    Hostility?


    He should not have offended him.


    Soon, everyone took their seats, and then various exquisite delicacies were continuously presented.


    ¡°Today¡¯s banquet is mainly to congratulate Brother Xu Yuan on reaching the top ten of the Flying Heaven List, with a bright future ahead,¡± Jiang Shan said with a sigh and a smile, ¡°Secondly, it is to thank Brother Xu Yuan for extending a helping hand to my sister in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡±


    ¡°It was merely a trivial effort,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Baili Teng asked curiously, ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, you also saved Jiang Xuan? I heard that the Abyss Demon Blood Den had another blood catastrophe; to be able to survive such a crisis, Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s strength must be extraordinary.¡±


    ¡°The Semi-Divine-level Ferocious Beasts that died at the hand of Big Brother Xu are not few.¡± Jiang Xuan said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s also due to luck,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    This was what Jiang Xuan told Li Yuan on the way here.


    She didn¡¯t reveal Li Yuan¡¯s true strength, not even to her elder brother, Jiang Shan, only mentioning that Li Yuan has the prowess to slay a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast.


    At the Flying Heaven Level, to slay a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast is rare, yet there are still some in Abyss Country who can achieve it.


    After all, a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast is just a threshold to Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, slaying a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast is quite impressive,¡± Yan Long in white chuckled casually: ¡°But the most dangerous entity in the Abyss Demon Blood Den is the Blood Demon. Should you encounter a Blood Demon, Xu Yuan, you might¡­ Haha, luck is also a form of strength.¡±


    ¡°To survive indeed means good luck,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°However, I am a straightforward person and my words may come off as harsh,¡± Yan Long shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll just say it straight ¨C if that¡¯s all the strength you have, you better be careful when facing life-and-death trials in Jue Xing Ancient City. You might not be as lucky then, and you could end up dying there.¡±


    Everyone was momentarily stunned.


    No one was a fool; they could all hear the implied meaning behind Yan Long¡¯s words.


    ¡°Hmm, I will be careful,¡± Li Yuan smiled and did not wish to continue this line of conversation.


    Although unclear on why Yan Long was hostile towards him, at this new arrival, verbal disputes were pointless.


    Li Yuan did not mind Yan Long¡¯s words, yet Jiang Xuan beside him frowned, ¡°Yan Long, what¡¯s with you today? If you admit you can¡¯t speak nicely, then speak less.¡±


    She didn¡¯t care about Yan Long¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°Haha, I am straightforward, Xu Yuan brother won¡¯t mind,¡± Yan Long laughed hehe.


    ¡°I mind,¡± Jiang Xuan glared.


    Yan Long was taken aback.


    ¡°Enough,¡± Jiang Shan spoke up: ¡°Jiang Xuan, Yan Long is your elder brother too¡­ Xu Yuan, brother Yan Long is straightforward, I apologize on his behalf and hope for your understanding.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s no trouble, brother Yan Long is speaking the truth,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan had already roughly figured out the relationships among the people present.


    Jiang Shan, a leading figure among the younger generation of the Royal Family.


    Baili Teng, with a strong background and formidable personal strength, probably a person Jiang Shan wishes to court and befriend.


    As for Yan Long, he¡¯s likely also someone Jiang Shan wants to draw in, not for his strength, but due to his father.


    ¡°Yan Long¡¯s father was probably very close to Mist Mountain King before, but Mist Mountain King is dead,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Does Jiang Shan hope to continue receiving support from Sha Xi Pseudo-God?¡±


    ¡°And me?¡±


    ¡°This Jiang Shan, while probably genuinely grateful to me, probably also has intentions of winning me over,¡± Li Yuan thought with many ideas flashing through his mind.


    Time passed.


    Yan Long didn¡¯t say anything further, and everyone else seemed to be in cheerful conversation, as if the earlier unpleasantness hadn¡¯t happened. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Yan Long may appear joyful, but internally he was very displeased: ¡°This Xu Yuan, I don¡¯t know what kind of dumb luck he has to have Sha Xi Pseudo-God intervene, taking Leng Yan¡¯s place and earning the qualification to go to Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ Was it Jiang Shan who helped him? My father has paid such a price yet couldn¡¯t secure a spot for me.¡±


    Yan Long was quite unhappy with Li Yuan.


    In his eyes, while Li Yuan¡¯s strength was decent, he probably couldn¡¯t make the top ten of the Flying Heaven Level.


    Moreover, given that the quota was already fixed and still got replaced, clearly there was someone influential behind it.


    What about Yan Long?


    In the Royal Capital, he seemed to prosper on the surface, but given his limited cultivation talents, with his father¡¯s help, reaching the peak of Semi-Divine was his limit; he had no chance to go to Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°This Jiang Xuan girl too, seemingly enchanted by this Xu Yuan,¡± Yan Long muttered darkly: ¡°Hmph, so what if he got a spot? Of the Flying Heaven Level who go to Jue Xing Ancient City, looking over the entire continent, how many can truly join Jue Xing Ancient City each time?¡±


    ¡°Even Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t join Jue Xing Ancient City at the Flying Heaven Level back in the day? This Xu Yuan is probably going to die there,¡± Yan Long thought secretly to himself.


    But these thoughts, he dared only to keep to himself.


    After all, this was a banquet organized by Jiang Shan, and he certainly didn¡¯t want to truly anger him.


    ¡­


    The music and dance at Nine Sound Building were captivating.


    In the private chambers, Li Yuan continued to exchange information with Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, also learning of matters previously unknown to him.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, is it extremely difficult to join Jue Xing Ancient City directly?¡± Li Yuan was rather surprised.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Baili Teng nodded: ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City recruits Reserve Members, usually if they are Semi-Divine; they rarely recruit Flying Heaven Level, and the requirements are extremely stringent. Both Jiang Shan and I were at the Flying Heaven Level back then and tried, but we both failed the selection.¡±


    ¡°Even Jiang Shan was not selected?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°Just missed it,¡± Jiang Shan shook his head: ¡°Under normal circumstances, it¡¯s rare for our Abyss Country to have even one Flying Heaven Level joining Jue Xing Ancient City in hundreds of years¡­ Of course, Flying Heaven Level members going to take the trials will also encounter some opportunities.¡±


    ¡°In any case, the longer you hold out, the more benefits you¡¯ll receive,¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°By then, after you reach Semi-Divine, if you want to join Jue Xing Ancient City again, your chances will be much greater.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.


    It seemed that neither Jiang Shan nor Baili Teng believed he could join Jue Xing Ancient City directly.


    Suddenly.


    Rumble~ At the entrance of this hall level, suddenly over a dozen figures emitting an extraordinary aura, accompanied by a young man in a black robe, walked into the hall.


    ¡°Where is brother Xu Yuan? Leng Yan specially comes to visit,¡± a gentle voice instantly reverberated throughout the hall.


    This voice seemed mild, yet was very domineering, directly overpowering the sound of instruments and immediately catching the attention of guests in every private chamber.

 Chapter 783 - 414: A Slap! Famous from One Battle (Extra for Nuan Yang 1314 Metal Alliance)

    Chapter 783: Chapter 414: A Slap! Famous from One Battle (Extra for ¡®Nuan Yang 1314¡¯ Metal Alliance)


    Leng Yan¡¯s voice was loud and powerful, echoing inside the Nine Sound Building, seemingly gentle, yet it made everyone in various private rooms sense something was amiss.


    Visit?


    If it were a visit, why would the need be there to be so loud?


    ¡°Leng Yan? Is that the only son of the Illusion True Lord, how come he suddenly came over, looking for Xu Yuan, who is Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, I think I just heard, he is the newcomer who ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List.¡±


    ¡°I remember now, Leng Yan was previously tenth, now he¡¯s coming to trouble Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Things are getting interesting.¡± Nearly a hundred private rooms were almost filled with people, many curiously watching through the windows, even quite a few stepped out of their rooms.


    One must know, as the top amusement place of the Yuan Country King, the expenditure in Nine Sound Building is extremely astonishing, and the very top of it is the Nine Sound Building¡­ Those who can afford to sit in the private rooms here are either rich or noble.


    Predominantly consisting of members from Divine families and even the Prince families, many are from the Royal Family, and the vast majority are Demigod experts¡­ If it¡¯s a lone ranger, they¡¯re generally Semi-Divine Peak Experts who can afford to spend here.


    It can be said.


    Below the Divine.


    This place represents the upper echelons of society in the Yuan Country Capital, and they¡¯re mostly very familiar with Leng Yan.


    ¡°Leng Yan is not someone to be trifled with.¡±


    ¡°Son of Illusion True Lord.¡±


    ¡°That Xu Yuan can replace Leng Yan¡¯s place, isn¡¯t he troublesome too?¡± The several hundred Demigods present were all watching Leng Yan and the dozen or so Demigods he led.


    ¡°It seems like Xu Yuan is together with Jiang Shan.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan is here too?¡±


    ¡°This has become even more interesting.¡±


    ¡­


    Leng Yan¡¯s voice resounded within Nine Sound Building.


    In the private room, those who were chatting amiably like Li Yuan, Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, naturally heard it as well.


    ¡°Leng Yan?¡± Jiang Shan furrowed his brows.


    ¡°This fool Leng Yan, while I and Brother Xu were on our way, he already sent someone to follow us, daring to directly come looking for trouble.¡± Jiang Xuan immediately got angry: ¡°Brother, I will drive him away.¡±


    She didn¡¯t care about Leng Yan¡¯s background.


    ¡°Sit down.¡± Jiang Shan commanded firmly.


    ¡°Brother.¡± Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Shan.


    ¡°I told you to sit down.¡± Jiang Shan frowned, and seeing this, Jiang Xuan reluctantly sat down, albeit grinding her teeth.


    The Mist Mountain King had several tens of children, with different mothers¡­ but she and Jiang Shan shared the same mother, and they had a naturally deep bond.


    Usually, she could behave arrogantly, and Jiang Shan wouldn¡¯t mind.


    But once Jiang Shan became stern, Jiang Xuan dared not disobey.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, do you want to meet him?¡± Jiang Shan then turned to look at Xu Yuan, and said, ¡°If Brother Xu Yuan doesn¡¯t want to meet, I assure you he won¡¯t be able to disturb Brother Xu Yuan today.¡±


    The few present all looked towards Xu Yuan.


    Xu Yuan was about to speak.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, I know you are in Prince Jiang Shan¡¯s private room, why don¡¯t you come out?¡± Leng Yan¡¯s voice rang again: ¡°What? Able to directly snatch my place, but dare not to face me? Or do you lack the strength to be in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List, so you dare not show your face?¡±


    ¡°This Leng Yan?¡± Jiang Shan frowned.


    Leng Yan, being the only son of the Illusion True Lord.


    Those who can be ennobled by different surname Divine, mostly have the strength of Pseudo-God Peak, which is not inferior to royal ennobled princes.


    Like the more than ten Divine in the Yuan Country Royal Family, all are ennobled, and additionally, three are made princes.


    And of the several thousand Pseudo-Gods who followed Jiang Yuan True God, only about a hundred are alive today who were ennobled¡­ Each one¡¯s strength is quite terrifying.


    Though Jiang Shan has high talent and is from the Royal Family, the father who could protect him most is dead.


    With the Royal Family proliferating, after tens of thousands of years of branching out, they are innumerable, unless becoming a Pseudo-God, otherwise, Jiang Yuan True God doesn¡¯t care much, as many members of the Royal Family have died in various fights and killings within Yuan Country.


    Therefore, in his heart, Jiang Shan doesn¡¯t want to offend Leng Yan too much, for he has to consider the many members of the Mist Mountain King lineage.


    However, in Jiang Shan¡¯s view, Leng Yan was being excessive today.


    ¡°Prince Jiang Shan.¡± Li Yuan instead laughed: ¡°This Leng Yan clearly wants to cause me trouble, if I don¡¯t meet under your protection, it will only lead to rampant rumors, by then, even Sha Xi Pseudo-God will be in a difficult position¡­ please witness it, Prince, and accompany me to meet him.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Jiang Shan nodded.


    Li Yuan wishing to step forward himself couldn¡¯t be better.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, I ought to kindly remind you.¡± Yan Long said: ¡°Since Leng Yan has come, he probably prepared to fight, his tenth place on the Flying Heaven List has some water¡­ but normally he could also rank in the top twenty, if you aren¡¯t confident, perhaps better let Prince Jiang Shan drive him away.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, if you lose later, it would be even more embarrassing.¡± Yan Long shook his head.


    Everyone frowned.


    Li Yuan smiled, didn¡¯t mind him, and walked straight out of the private room.


    Jiang Shan, Baili Teng exchanged glances, and also followed him out.


    Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Yan Long felt annoyed inside and thought: ¡°Hmph, this Xu Yuan still tries to act strong at this time, let¡¯s see how you continue after you lose.¡±


    ¡°Yan Long, would you dare to bet with me?¡± Jiang Xuan coldly sneered from the side: ¡°If Brother Xu truly competes with Leng Yan, I bet Brother Xu wins, how about a wager of fifty Fangshen Crystals?¡±


    ¡°Fifty Fangshen Crystals?¡± Yan Long was startled.


    Although he is also a scion of the Divine, Yan Qing Pseudo-God doesn¡¯t have him as the only child.


    Such an amount of Divine Crystals was no small figure for him.


    ¡°Not daring? If not, then shut up.¡± Jiang Xuan sneered, turning around and walking towards the door.


    ¡°Who said I¡¯m not daring, let¡¯s bet!¡± Yan Long said angrily.


    ¡°Deal.¡± Jiang Xuan coldly said: ¡°Prepare your Divine Crystals.¡±


    Jiang Xuan had seen Li Yuan in action, naturally filled with confidence. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­Outside the private rooms.


    ¡°Jiang Shan has come out.¡±


    ¡°Baili Teng is there too, those two are also influential figures of the Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°That one is Xu Yuan?¡±


    For a moment, hundreds of Demigods in the top hall of the Nine Sound Building saw Xu Yuan and Jiang Shan coming out of the private room, all curiously watching, wanting to see the outcome.

    Chapter 787: Chapter 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm


    ¡°Born fifty years early?¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback, then laughed: ¡°I haven¡¯t even lived past fifty yet.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu, you¡¯re not even fifty years old?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise: ¡°Aren¡¯t you even younger than me?¡±


    A hint of astonishment also flashed across Jiang Shan¡¯s face as he asked, ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, how old are you this year?¡±


    ¡°Over thirty.¡± Li Yuan said, himself actually only thirty years old.


    This wasn¡¯t a big secret that needed to be hidden.


    Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, these Demigods could not discern it, but an existence like Jiang Yuan True God could, upon close observation, glimpse traces of his life essence.


    For instance, Jiang Yuan True God, at their first meeting, directly judged that he was not over forty.


    If some secret treasures or special instruments were used, the judgment could be even more precise¡­ Therefore, in the information Jiang Yuan True God gave to Li Yuan, he explicitly mentioned that there was no need to deliberately hide his age.


    Most crucially, the identity fabricated by Jiang Yuan True God also matched Li Yuan¡¯s real age.


    ¡°Over thirty?¡±


    Yan Long in white robes widened his eyes: ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, compared to you, I, Yan Long, have lived nearly three hundred years, which really feels wasted like a dog¡¯s life.¡±


    ¡°So young? I thought you had been cultivating for at least sixty to seventy years.¡± Baili Teng was equally emotional: ¡°In the past, I thought Jiang Shan was a genius, achieving so much at a little over a hundred years old, but Brother Xu Yuan, you¡­ truly are an indescribable talent.¡±


    If Li Yuan¡¯s strength revealed just now had deeply shocked them.


    Now, coupled with Li Yuan¡¯s age, it truly made them tremble.


    Especially for Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, both of high standing, equivalent to Pseudo-Gods, their perspectives were entirely different. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In that case.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan was indeed born at the wrong time.¡± Baili Teng shook his head with regret: ¡°With Brother Xu¡¯s talent, not to mention fifty years, even another thirty years of cultivation, even if he couldn¡¯t snatch the Ancestral Realm Order, entering the top hundred of the Ancestral Realm Battle might still be hopeful.¡±


    He truly felt pity for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Big Brother Baili, is the Ancestral Realm Battle that difficult?¡±


    Beside them, Jiang Xuan asked doubtfully: ¡°There are still twelve years left, from Flying Heaven to becoming a Demigod with Soul Metamorphosis, the speed of comprehending the Law will increase again.¡±


    ¡°With Brother Xu¡¯s cultivation speed, if he breaks through to a Demigod early, can¡¯t he contend in the Ancestral Realm Battle?¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    Jiang Xuan, as a royal princess, although not lacking in vision, was still at the Flying Heaven Level without the need to participate in the Ancestral Realm Battle, and indeed didn¡¯t understand it that well.


    ¡°Little sister, you don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°The top geniuses in the Ancestral Realm Battle are beyond your imagination.¡± Jiang Shan said seriously: ¡°Like myself, with a Demigod Body, able to burst forth with the strength of an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God¡­ Among a million Demigods in Abyss Country, it can be said nearly invincible.¡±


    Jiang Xuan nodded, recognizing her brother¡¯s strength, having challenged a Pseudo-God more than once.


    ¡°But, I don¡¯t even have the confidence to break into the top one thousand of the Ancestral Realm Battle.¡± Jiang Shan spoke somberly.


    ¡°Not even the confidence for the top one thousand?¡± Jiang Xuan was astonished.


    ¡°The Jue Xing Continent is vast, the Starry Sky boundless, full of countless strong individuals, like those at the Flying Heaven Level absorbed into Jue Xing Ancient City, they are the top geniuses.¡± Baili Teng also spoke gravely: ¡°Even with the same Demigod Seven Star Veins, the strength disparity can be tremendous, some with high Law Comprehension are nearly at the True God Level.¡±


    Hearing this made Jiang Xuan inwardly gasp.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, is indeed such a top-level genius.¡± Baili Teng said: ¡°Unfortunately, the years of cultivation are a bit short¡­ After all, many powerful Demigods with high Law Comprehension, to obtain the Ancestral Realm Order, would forcibly stay in the Demigod Realm for hundreds of years, even up to five hundred years.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s so unfair.¡± Jiang Xuan shook her head: ¡°It¡¯s unfair to all of you.¡±


    Among these people, Baili Teng and Yan Long were relatively older, but like Baili Teng ready for battle, he had also only cultivated for a little over two hundred years.


    ¡°In this world, where is there absolute fairness.¡±


    ¡°Luck is part of strength, too.¡± Jiang Shan laughed: ¡°After this Ancestral Realm Battle, I¡¯ll ask the King¡¯s opinion, if there¡¯s hope to vie for the Ancestral Realm Order, then I¡¯ll cultivate for another five hundred years.¡±


    ¡°Five hundred years?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s mouth fell open.


    For her, such a duration was too lengthy.


    ¡°As for me, I can¡¯t wait that long.¡± Baili Teng looked at Li Yuan: ¡°But with Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s age, he could completely wait for another session.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave it up to fate, I haven¡¯t even become a Demigod yet.¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Come, Brother Jiang Shan, Brother Baili, let¡¯s continue drinking.¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Continue drinking.¡± Jiang Shan laughed: ¡°The delicacies I ordered haven¡¯t all been served yet.¡±


    ¡­


    After this disturbance, although the central hall¡¯s music and dance resumed, many guests in the various private rooms had lost much interest, mostly discussing the battle that had just occurred.


    ¡°That Leng Yan, who is usually so arrogant, today actually bowed his head directly, even taking out treasures worth a thousand Fangshen Crystals to apologize.¡±


    ¡°He is arrogant, but he picks who to offend, never those truly powerful.¡±


    ¡°That Xu Yuan, with an unclear background, but with his own talent and strength, is truly terrifying.¡± Many Demigods whispered among themselves.


    For these Demigods.


    Today¡¯s event was far more interesting than the music and dance at Nine Sound Building.


    Many Demigods had even started using Communication Treasures to spread the events that had unfolded at Nine Sound Building to their friends.


    ¡­Inside Jiang Shan¡¯s private room.


    As Li Yan revealed his strength, their interactions became even more harmonious.


    Yan Long, who had previously been deliberately contentious, now became the most enthusiastic.


    ¡°I, for one, truly admire those with real talent, and I had previously misunderstood Brother Xu Yuan, my mistake.¡± Yan Long¡¯s attitude was low, smiling: ¡°Before, I admired Prince Jiang Shan and Brother Baili¡­ Now, this list must also include Brother Xu Yuan.¡±

 Chapter 788 - 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm_2

    Chapter 788: Chapter 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm_2


    Li Yuan smiled indifferently.


    He had already figured out that Yan Long was probably the type to play both sides.


    However, there¡¯s no need to hit a smiling face with a stretched out hand, and since the other party kept apologizing, there was also no need to hold a grudge.


    As their conversation deepened.


    ¡°Oh? So in the coming days, forces from all over Abyss Country will come to visit me?¡± Li Yuan pondered while listening to Jiang Shan¡¯s narration.


    ¡°Exactly!¡±


    ¡°If you, Brother Xu Yuan, only had the strength of the top ten on the Flying Heaven List¡­ the various divine families within the Divine Kingdom wouldn¡¯t care too much.¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°After all, normally even geniuses in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List might not necessarily become Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Abyss Country was vast, with over a thousand Pseudo-Gods residing within the Royal Capital alone, and even more scattered across various states and counties.


    A few more Pseudo-Gods or a few less hardly made any difference to Abyss Country.


    ¡°Today¡¯s battle will surely spread the news about you, and soon, various forces will research your past. Once they find out your age¡­ they will judge that you¡¯re at least at Pseudo-God Peak, and even have a high hope of becoming a True God.¡± Jiang Shan said with a sigh: ¡°Once someone becomes a True God, the influence is entirely different.¡±


    ¡°A True God¡¯s influence surpasses that of a Pseudo-God by thousands to tens of thousands of times.¡± Jiang Shan said earnestly.


    ¡°Inside Abyss Country, many forces will definitely want to befriend you, even offering women from their families to become your consorts.¡± Baili Teng said with a smile.


    ¡°Consorts?¡± Li Yuan was speechless.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, it seemed to be the same in the Divine Realm.


    ¡°Strong individuals with true spouses are rare. My father has dozens of children, but he never had a true spouse from start to finish.¡± Jiang Shan shook his head: ¡°My mother is also just one of my father¡¯s consorts.¡±


    Jiang Shan did not avoid this fact.


    Because such things are the norm on Jue Xing Continent¡ªsuperpowerful beings having thousands of consorts is commonplace.


    ¡°Even, it¡¯s possible that other Divine Kingdom forces will secretly get in touch with you, hoping to invite you to join.¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°After all, our Abyss Country is one of the core eighteen Divine Kingdoms in the East Domain, with many major powers stationed within the Royal Capital. It¡¯s a place where dragons and snakes mix, and the news about you will definitely spread quickly.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    This point was also mentioned in the information provided by Jiang Yuan True God.


    Jue Xing Continent is divided into four regions: east, west, north, and south, as well as the four seas. Beyond the skies, there are countless Life Stars. Nearly all eight hundred Divine Kingdoms in the East Domain are under the control of Jue Xing Ancient City¡­


    Among these eight hundred Divine Kingdoms, eighteen are considered core Divine Kingdoms of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Abyss Country is one of them.


    The most noticeable sign of becoming a core Divine Kingdom is that they can establish a ¡®Transmission Array¡¯ within the Royal Capital, allowing teleportation between core Divine Kingdoms, and direct teleportation to Jue Xing Ancient City.


    This greatly strengthens Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s control over the East Domain.


    Despite the various Divine Kingdoms¡¯ battles for supremacy, they must all submit to Jue Xing Ancient City in the end.


    ¡°In summary.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, after today, you are destined to become a person of interest in the Royal Capital.¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile: ¡°But you don¡¯t have to pick sides, just focus on yourself¡­ and you are bound to have an unlimited future.¡±


    ¡°Thank Jiang Shan, Brother, for the reminder.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Be careful about your safety.¡± Baili Teng said: ¡°The more dazzling you are, in the end, you are still part of Abyss Country. Some enemies of Abyss Country might secretly wish to eliminate you, so be more cautious and try not to reveal your whereabouts if you decide to leave the Royal Capital.¡±


    Li Yuan thoughtfully agreed, having anticipated this early on.


    Displaying one¡¯s talent and strength can lead to quicker recognition by major powers and access to more cultivation resources.


    But it inevitably involves getting caught up in many disputes.


    Even within Jue Xing Ancient City, it¡¯s not a monolith.


    There would be fierce conflicts among the eight hundred Divine Kingdoms of the East Domain, sometimes even sparking True God wars¡­ In these matters, the highest echelons of Jue Xing Ancient City rarely intervene.


    Externally, the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities and the Six Great Holy Lands are in conflict.


    Internally, the struggle is the same.


    ¡°Today.¡±


    ¡°I have indeed stirred up some trouble.¡± Li Yuan thought secretly: ¡°But I still need to be careful. Only by becoming a Demigod can I have some self-preservation power against the Divine.¡±


    ¡°Right now, I¡¯m still weak, and I must rely on the aura of a genius to protect myself.¡±


    Concerning his own strength, Li Yuan was self-aware.


    ¡°Brother Jiang Shan.¡±


    ¡°I have a question I¡¯d like to ask.¡± Li Yuan suddenly said: ¡°Where can I get more Jue Xing Divine Pills?¡±


    ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pills?¡± Jiang Shan said in surprise: ¡°Brother Li Yuan, haven¡¯t you already used the Jue Xing Divine Pill to its Limit? Do you still need more Jue Xing Divine Pills?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded without hesitation.


    Baili Teng, Yan Long, and even Jiang Xuan felt somewhat numb¡­ Li Yuan had exposed things that had repeatedly exceeded their understanding.


    ¡°I observed your use of Star Technique earlier. With such a powerful Divine Body, you¡¯re probably using the Seven Star Veins to practice the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique.¡± Jiang Shan looked at Li Yuan with a changed expression: ¡°But your use of Jue Xing Divine Pills hasn¡¯t even reached the Limit of your Soul Will¡­ This!¡±


    Jiang Shan shook his head and said: ¡°People say I¡¯m a genius, but today I thoroughly understand there¡¯s always someone better.¡±

    Jiang Shan thought for a moment and said: ¡°Ordinarily, the Divine Fire Palace has many tasks with rewards upon completion, including rewards of Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°But now, with the Divine Fire Palace competition concluded, there aren¡¯t more tasks for the moment, and Jue Xing Divine Pills, being forbidden items, can¡¯t be sold publicly¡­¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°One way is to meet directly with Sha Xi Pseudo-God. Asking for ten or twenty Jue Xing Divine Pills from him shouldn¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan asked: ¡°Is there any other way?¡±


    Ten or twenty? That¡¯s too few.


    ¡°Jiang Shan, have you forgotten?¡±


    ¡°In three days, it will be the opening of the Nine Sounds Realm. With Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s strength, perhaps he can give it a try.¡± Baili Teng suddenly said: ¡°If successful, you could request a batch of Jue Xing Divine Pills from Nine Sounds True God.¡±

 Chapter 789 - 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm

    Chapter 789: Chapter 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm


    ¡°Nine Sounds Realm?¡± Li Yuan puzzled.


    What is this?


    ¡°Ha ha, yes! Today we are at the Nine Sound Building, I almost forgot about this,¡± Jiang Shan laughed. ¡°The Nine Sounds Realm, established by the Nine Sounds True God, is open for three days each year at the Nine Sound Building.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Sounds Realm is also a major feature of the Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°Essentially, it is a place of trial, used by the Nine Sounds True God to select disciples,¡± Jiang Shan stated. ¡°Citizens of the Abyss Country, from Flying Heaven Level and Demigods can enter after paying a small amount of Divine Crystals¡­ Flying Heaven Levels who pass the Fifth Realm and Demigods who pass the Eighth Realm will receive a gift.¡±


    ¡°If a Flying Heaven Level can overcome the Sixth Realm and a Demigod can overcome the Ninth Realm, they will not only receive a gift but also have the chance to become disciples of the Nine Sounds True God,¡± Jiang Shan added.


    Become a disciple of a True God? A flicker of surprise crossed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    A great mentor is hard to find.


    A True God openly taking disciples is very rare.


    ¡°This means, there must be many people attempting it,¡± Li Yuan whispered.


    ¡°Not really,¡± Baili Teng shook his head. ¡°A thousand years ago, when the Nine Sounds True God established the ¡®Nine Sounds Realm¡¯, there were many who tried initially, but with each passing year, fewer people attempted.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Li Yuan puzzled.


    ¡°Mainly because of the danger,¡± Baili Teng explained. ¡°The Nine Sounds True God is actually a Soul Master, hence the Nine Sounds Realm she created specifically targets the Soul Will, not necessarily strength¡­ And when it involves the soul, a minor mistake can lead to death.¡±


    ¡°If one cannot pass even the first three realms, the probability of death is quite high.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, those who dare to attempt are mostly the confident ones.¡±


    ¡°Even so, people occasionally die,¡± Baili Teng said. ¡°Few can pass the trial, and even fewer become disciples¡­ But for anyone who passes the trial, the gifts are very generous.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s dangerous for others.¡±


    ¡°But with Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s strength, passing the Fifth Realm should not be difficult,¡± Baili Teng said. ¡°Then, whether it¡¯s some treasures or the Jue Xing Divine Elixir, it should be easy to obtain¡­¡± sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll think about it,¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned.


    This Nine Sounds Realm sounds a bit dangerous, and I¡¯m not planning on taking a master.


    Just for the Jue Xing Divine Elixir, it¡¯s not very meaningful.


    ¡°Actually, the most impressive aspect of the Nine Sounds Realm is the tempering of the Soul Will, and the many Illusionary Realms it contains are truly rare,¡± Jiang Shan said with a laugh. ¡°I will try it myself next year as well, to test myself and see when I can pass the Ninth Realm.¡±


    ¡°Brother Jiang Shan, you¡¯re also attempting?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°Not just him, I will try too,¡± Baili Teng laughed. ¡°Actually, the top talents of Abyss Country in the Royal Capital, I guess most will give it a try, as a way to temper their Soul Will.¡±


    ¡°Even some other talents from the Divine Kingdoms will make a special trip¡­¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    The so-called danger is merely the Nine Sounds True God¡¯s way of filtering out the ordinary Flying Heavens and common Demigods¡­ For the true talents, the probability of death is actually very low.


    ¡°In three days, I¡¯ll also give it a try,¡± Li Yuan immediately changed his mind.


    The feast lasted for quite a while.


    Baili Teng and Yan Long left respectively; Jiang Shan and Jiang Xuan personally escorted Li Yuan back to the Divine Fire Palace before returning to the Mist Mountain King¡¯s mansion.


    ¡­


    Inside the Mist Mountain King¡¯s mansion, Jiang Shan dismissed his attendants.


    ¡°Little sister, you did very well this time.¡±


    Jiang Shan said, ¡°You went to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, yet you managed to attract such an exceptional talent, I can see that Xu Yuan has quite a fondness for you.¡±


    ¡°Today.¡±


    ¡°We established a friendship before he revealed his strength, which is also good,¡± Jiang Shan said.


    ¡°In the future, the closer you are to Xu Yuan, the better it will be for you, and for our Mist Mountain King lineage,¡± Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Jiang Xuan shook her head, ¡°My intention was just to thank Brother Xu. If it weren¡¯t for him, I would have died in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Having a grateful heart is right,¡± Jiang Shan smiled. ¡°Tomorrow, bring another gift and visit him.¡±


    Hu!


    With a flick of his hand, a jade bottle appeared out of thin air, flying towards Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    Jiang Xuan was initially puzzled, took it over, and her expression slightly changed upon scanning it with her Divine Sense: ¡°Jue Xing Divine Elixirs? Are these fifty pieces? Big brother, do you have so many spare Jue Xing Divine Elixirs?¡±


    ¡°For other Demigods, this item is very precious, but for me, giving away dozens is easy,¡± Jiang Shan shook his head.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you just give them directly to Brother Xu earlier?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°If I gave them, how would it compare to you giving them?¡± Jiang Shan shook his head. ¡°I observe that Xu Yuan, while outwardly amiable, is extremely proud at heart; gaining his genuine approval is extremely difficult, and likewise, once he recognizes someone as a good friend¡­ when something arises, he would probably do everything he can to help.¡±


    ¡°You already have a good relationship with him, if you could help him a couple more times, making him feel grateful, the friendship would be unbreakable.¡±


    Jiang Shan gravely continued: ¡°Just like how you treat those servants around you, when you treat them genuinely, they would also go all out to protect you at crucial moments.¡±


    ¡°Big brother, you and I are different, I treat Uncle Guo, Uncle Fang, genuinely from my heart,¡± Jiang Xuan stared at Jiang Shan.


    Jiang Shan just smiled, not arguing.


    ¡°Big brother, this is too calculating,¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°That¡¯s the only bad part about you.¡±


    ¡°Sometimes I wonder if you¡¯re also calculating with me,¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    ¡°Silly girl,¡± Jiang Shan chuckled and shook his head: ¡°Father is already dead, you¡¯re my only family in this world, how could I scheme against you?¡±


    ¡°Alright, the Jue Xing Divine Elixirs are yours.¡±


    ¡°Whether you give them or how you give them, is up to you,¡± Jiang Shan said, ¡°I still need to enter seclusion for cultivation, you should also go rest.¡±


    ¡°Mm, big brother, I will leave first,¡± Jiang Xuan bowed and then turned to leave.


    Watching Jiang Xuan disappear from sight.

    Chapter 790: Chapter 415: Fame Spreads Everywhere! Nine Sounds Realm_4


    ¡°Also good.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, only true sincerity can exchange for genuine hearts.¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s tender eyes turned sharp as he muttered to himself: ¡°Little sister, I hope you have more protection.¡±


    ¡°That way, when I take action in the future, I can have fewer concerns.¡±


    In Jiang Shan¡¯s heart, there lay hidden a great vengeance related to his mother¡¯s death,


    even Jiang Xuan did not know.


    Jiang Shan did not want Jiang Xuan to also bear hatred.


    In fact, Jiang Shan had no deep feelings for his father, Mist Mountain King, and in some ways, it was Mist Mountain King¡¯s mistakes that led to his mother¡¯s death¡­ and Mist Mountain King perished outside.


    His greatest concern before was his sister ¡®Jiang Xuan¡¯. All the arrangements he made in secret were to protect Jiang Xuan.


    ¡­


    Inside the deep palace of Huanzhen Marquis Mansion.


    ¡°Please punish me, Mother.¡± Leng Yan respectfully said.


    ¡°You did nothing wrong, what is there to punish?¡± The lady in palace attire smiled and said: ¡°I originally thought his strength was insufficient, which is why he was ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List¡­ It was I who asked you to challenge him publicly.¡±


    ¡°Who could have guessed he was so formidable?¡± S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level so formidable has never appeared in our Yuan Country, it¡¯s not your fault, on the contrary, you handled the situation very well, made amends promptly, and did not deeply offend him,¡± Huanzhen Marquis praised.


    Leng Yan listened attentively.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, this time on the Flying Heaven List, there really is no chance for you,¡± Huanzhen Marquis said: ¡°Delaying it another twenty years would actually be harmful to you¡­ Better break through to Semi-Divine soon, I will arrange for you to go to East Nether Sacred Land, which might be more beneficial for you there.¡±


    ¡°East Nether Sacred Land?¡± Leng Yan was surprised: ¡°Mother, our Yuan Country is indeed originated from Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°I have arranged everything,¡± Huanzhen Marquis continued: ¡°If you cultivate step-by-step, becoming Pseudo-God is difficult, and you won¡¯t be able to enter Jue Xing Ancient City, only by entering the Holy Land do you have a sliver of hope.¡±


    ¡°As a Flying Heaven Level, nobody will pay attention to you,¡± Huanzhen Marquis said: ¡°Which power you belong to isn¡¯t important.¡±


    ¡°Ascending to God, that¡¯s what matters,¡± Huanzhen Marquis looked at Leng Yan.


    ¡°Yes, Mother,¡± Leng Yan nodded heavily.


    He understood, even with his mother¡¯s position and power, acquiring a spot in East Nether Sacred Land likely cost a great deal.


    ¡­


    The competition at Jue Yin Tower was watched by hundreds of Semi-Divines, word spread rapidly from one to ten, ten to a hundred.


    Actually, a competition of Flying Heaven Level was normally not conspicuous.


    But the strength Li Yuan displayed was overly astonishing.


    Whether it was various powers within Yuan Country or personnel stationed at Yuan Country Capital from other Divine Kingdoms, they quickly received this news.


    Jue Xing Divine Mountain, spanning hundreds of kilometers, is a very special building in Yuan Country Capital.


    Because it represents Jue Xing Ancient City within Yuan Country.


    Stationed inside the Temple are all elites from Jue Xing Ancient City, few in number but each highly formidable, having an extremely strong deterrent power in the Royal Capital, their status even surpassing the Royal Family.


    Deep in the continuous mountain range, within a courtyard.


    ¡°Jing Kui.¡± A purple-clad Pseudo-God with a powerful aura looked at the recently received information and laughed: ¡°It seems like Yuan Country has produced a genius not inferior to you.¡±


    ¡°Are you talking about Xu Yuan? I have seen him,¡± the black-robed youth Jing Kui casually said: ¡°Not only is he good in direct combat, his Soul Will is even more formidable¡­ he is the most formidable Flying Heaven Level I have ever seen.¡±


    ¡°The most formidable?¡± The purple-clad Pseudo-God was surprised, knowing Jing Kui¡¯s strength.


    In Jue Xing Ancient City, he is known as a top-tier genius of the younger generation, believed to have a great chance of obtaining the Ancestral Realm Order.


    This time, as Jing Kui came to Yuan Country, he had secretly met many talents of Yuan Country, but even Jiang Shan hardly caught his eye.


    Yet the evaluation of Xu Yuan was the highest.


    ¡°Whether he is formidable or not doesn¡¯t affect me.¡±


    ¡°Rather, in a few days, after I¡¯ve experienced the famous Nine Sounds Realm of Yuan Country, I¡¯ll continue wandering to the next Divine Kingdom,¡± Jing Kui laughed: ¡°But if he can successfully join the Ancient City, old Dong, perhaps you¡¯ll be credited greatly.¡±


    ¡°Haha, Jing Kui, borrowing your good words,¡± the purple-clad Pseudo-God laughed.


    He was well aware that Jing Kui¡¯s strength had reached an unimaginable level, not inferior to himself¡­ Traveling across the continent, refining the heart through worldly experiences, once Jing Kui advances further, he might Ascend to True God.


    ¡­


    Divine Fire Palace, spanning a vast area.


    At the highest palace here is where Sha Xi Pseudo-God resides.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, to think his strength is that formidable? Defeating Ji Ming with a single palm strike?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God looking at the latest information, felt immensely shocked: ¡°No wonder the King commanded me to give him a spot directly.¡±


    ¡°I misjudged, someone with such strength, why need an assessment?¡±


    After a little thought.


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God directly issued an order: ¡°Upgrade Xu Yuan¡¯s ranking in the Divine Fire Palace from tenth on the Flying Heaven List to first.¡±

    Divine Fire Palace, Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    ¡°Master, Lord Jiang Xuan has arrived.¡± A beautiful servant dressed in purple respectfully reported.


    ¡°Hmm, bring Lord Jiang Xuan here.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Soon, two other servants led Jiang Xuan into the hall where fine wine was naturally served.


    ¡°Brother Xu, I see that there are still many people waiting outside; it seems they are all here to visit you.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled, ¡°It seems that after yesterday¡¯s battle, your fame has spread throughout the entire Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°Many Divine families have come to visit.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Not long after returning to the Divine Fire Palace, Divine families had already sent people to visit and brought congratulatory gifts.


    Especially after the news of Li Yuan being promoted to ¡®Number One on the Flying Heaven List¡¯ spread, even more visitors came.


    Each congratulatory gift was worth at least ten Divine Crystals.


    Apart from some extremely valuable gifts that were clearly given with ulterior motives, which Li Yuan refused, he accepted the rest without objection.


    Getting so many Divine Crystals effortlessly was not a common occurrence.


    Less than a day later.


    Li Yuan had already received hundreds of Fangshen Crystals just from the gifts.


    ¡°This is just the beginning, in the coming days, there will probably be even more visitors.¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°Haha, Brother Xu, you¡¯ll be receiving gifts until your hands go weak, probably forgetting who even gave them to you.¡±


    In the entire Royal Capital, with thousands of Divine families, even if only one-fifth chose to congratulate, the final value of the gifts would be a staggering number.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t remember who sent the gifts.¡± Li Yuan joked, ¡°Just remember who didn¡¯t send a gift.¡±


    Jiang Xuan laughed and then said, ¡°It seems I came at the right time today.¡±


    ¡°Oh? I was just about to ask what you came for today.¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to deliver a gift as well.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled and with a flip of her hand, she handed a jade bottle to Li Yuan.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan briefly inquired and his expression showed a hint of surprise: ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pills, fifty of them?¡±


    It should be noted that Li Yuan had already visited Sha Xi Pseudo-God, who had directly given him twenty Jue Xing Divine Pills.


    Any more? None!


    Thirty Jue Xing Divine Pills were the maximum number a Flying Heaven Level could obtain from the Divine Fire Palace.


    Many members of the Divine Fire Palace had to complete numerous trial missions to obtain so many Jue Xing Divine Pills.


    To purchase Jue Xing Divine Pills?


    Such things were prohibited and were not allowed for sale.


    Li Yuan also understood that ordinary Flying Heaven Semi-Divines would probably use them immediately; there would not be any surplus.


    Li Yuan never expected that Jiang Xuan would give out fifty Jue Xing Divine Pills as soon as she made a move.


    ¡°Where did these come from?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°After I returned yesterday, my elder brother managed to get them for me.¡± Jiang Xuan said, ¡°Brother Xu, given your relationship with the King, even if it wasn¡¯t difficult for the King to gift hundreds or even thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    Actually, Jiang Xuan was somewhat puzzled; initially, she thought Li Yuan was from one of the Holy Land sects, or even a top talent from Jue Xing Ancient City¡­but judging from Li Yuan never using Jue Xing Divine Pills before, it seemed he was not a core member of a major power.


    However, Jiang Xuan could confirm one thing¡ª the King regarded Li Yuan highly.


    ¡°This little matter, I didn¡¯t want to trouble the King.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°A few dozen more or fewer Jue Xing Divine Pills, don¡¯t really make a big difference to me.¡±


    Li Yuan was very clear.


    Jiang Yuan True God had already helped him a lot.


    Solving his identity issue, providing direct access to Starry Sky Ancient City, and a one-time protection of the token¡ªthese were the most important things.


    But, the other party was neither kin nor his guardian, and though he had given a lot, it was also for a purpose.


    If Li Yuan needed help for every tiny matter,


    Why would Jiang Yuan True God believe that he could Ascend to Heavenly God?


    Not to mention that he had just awakened Eight Star Veins, and his Law Talent wasn¡¯t to the unbelievable level.


    Even in the history of the Snake Clan from the Divine Realm, many top-talents who had awakened Nine Star Pulse had also died on the path of becoming a Heavenly Divine.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, I do indeed need these Jue Xing Divine Pills now, thank you very much.¡± Li Yuan said, unceremoniously.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°Actually, Brother Xu, you have helped me even more, not just saving me multiple times.¡± Jiang Xuan said, ¡°This time, the quota for Jue Xing Ancient City from the Royal Family was also obtained by your help, Brother Xu.¡±


    ¡°Me?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Brother Xu, do you still remember those Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts heads?¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, and smiled: ¡°So, you also entered the Abyss Demon Blood Den to compete for the quota of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu, there¡¯s another matter I want to ask about.¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t resist and said, ¡°That time in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, could you confirm whether Uncle Xu and the others truly perished?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t see them perish with my own eyes, but based on some evidence.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Originally, he had personally witnessed Uncle Xu and the others entering a cave where the lights dimmed out.


    ¡°Thanks for letting me know, Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes dimmed, shattering her last bit of hope.


    ¡­


    After sending away Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Ren Qing.¡± Li Yuan conveyed through a message.


    The purple-garbed woman immediately flew in and respectfully said, ¡°Master, what do you need?¡±


    Ren Qing was the newly appointed Grand Steward of Li Yuan¡¯s residence in the Divine Fire Palace, and was also a Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Tell those who want to visit that I will be going into closed-door cultivation for a while and won¡¯t see anyone.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°They can leave their cards and gifts, and I¡¯ll make note of them later.¡±


    ¡°Master, is this a good idea?¡± Ren Qing couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°The visitors are all from Divine families.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they are neither from Prince families, nor are those Divines visiting personally.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    The Pseudo-Gods who were Princes in the Abyss Country, they were the truly formidable figures among Pseudo-Gods, like Illusionary Real Marquis was one among them.


    As for the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, Middle Rank of Pseudo-God¡­ if these Divines personally visited, Li Yuan would certainly entertain them, but if it was just their family juniors, Li Yuan really didn¡¯t care.

    ¡°Yes,¡± Ren Qing said, ¡°By the way, master, many of the divine families who come to pay homage have conflicts with each other. Should we accept all the congratulations gifts they bring?¡± S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In Ren Qing¡¯s view, accepting the gifts was a statement in itself.


    ¡°Accept them!¡±


    ¡°Take them all if they dare to give,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°But you should also discern, return all those valued over fifty Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Ren Qing nodded.


    She was also secretly surprised in her heart; she had served as a housekeeper for many Demi-God level geniuses of the Divine Fire Palace¡­ but it was the first time she saw someone like Li Yuan who was so casual and unconcerned about the thoughts of those divine families.


    ¡°Perhaps, this is what a super genius is,¡± Ren Qing thought to herself.


    Little did she know, Li Yuan had already thought it through; after all, he would leave the Jue Xing Continent when he becomes a Demi-God¡­ Better to take the benefits first.


    Only a fool would reject free advantages.


    ¡­


    ¡°Boom~¡± The door of the Quiet Chamber slowly closed, and Li Yuan immediately activated the Origin Power Array.


    ¡°Seventy Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, sensing all the Jue Xing Divine Pills in the Storage Magical Treasure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try.¡±


    ¡°See if I can refine them all,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, also feeling a bit of anticipation: ¡°Previously, using ten Jue Xing Divine Pills awakened thousands of Life Stars¡­ What if I use fifty or sixty this time? Then I¡¯d be one step closer to awakening the Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Taking out a Jue Xing Divine Pill, with practiced ease, his Divine Sense wrapped in Origin Power, instantly enveloped it, attempting refinement.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A powerful Divine Soul impact burst forth from the Jue Xing Divine Pill, directly assaulting the Soul Origin of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Here it comes again,¡± Li Yuan countered with the Spirit Concentration Technique.


    ¡­


    In the Mist Mountain King¡¯s residence.


    ¡°Commander Mo,¡± Jiang Xuan whispered, ¡°Is everything arranged?¡±


    ¡°It has been arranged according to Your Highness¡¯s orders, the family members of Xu Guo and others are all properly settled,¡± Commander Mo respectfully said.


    ¡°Mm, you may leave,¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    After Commander Mo left.


    ¡°This trip to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, if not for encountering Brother Xu, even with Uncle Guo¡¯s protection, I would have died,¡± Jiang Xuan pondered silently, ¡°Brother¡­ seems to have been making some plans and arrangements all along, he¡¯s been hiding things about mother from me.¡±


    ¡°Strength.¡±


    ¡°If I could have Brother Xu¡¯s strength, I might be able to share many burdens for him,¡± Jiang Xuan thought.


    Jiang Shan thought Jiang Xuan knew nothing, but Jiang Xuan was no child and had long been aware; she just never showed it.


    ¡°This time, it was not easy for Brother Xu to secure a slot for me in the Jue Xing Ancient City; even if I can¡¯t stay in the Starry Sky Ancient City, I still need to strive to stay there longer,¡± Jiang Xuan quietly thought.


    The trial slots for Jue Xing Ancient City from Abyss Country consisted of only ten demi-god slots, competing with everyone including the Royal Family.


    But for the Flying Heaven Level slots, some were allocated to the Divine Fire Palace, and some belonged to the Royal Family.


    The Royal Family only had five slots each time; though it didn¡¯t seem many, there were far fewer members in the Royal Family, so the competition pressure was less.


    Jiang Xuan¡¯s strength did not rank high in the Divine Fire Palace, but among the Royal Family¡¯s Flying Heaven Level, she was already outstanding, plus she was relatively young.


    This trial in the Abyss Demon Blood Den was the final trial to determine the slots!


    Using the abundance of Demi-God level ferocious beasts gifted by Li Yuan, she secured the first place in the final trial of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    ¡°Let¡¯s fight.¡±


    ¡°Brother is fighting for the Ancestral Realm battle, I must also work hard,¡± Jiang Xuan silently resolved.


    ¡­


    In the following days, Li Yuan¡¯s residence was indeed bustling.


    Even though Li Yuan was explicitly in closed-door cultivation, not receiving guests, it didn¡¯t stop the enthusiasm of many divine families.


    The managers of many divine family had already received instructions from their ancient ancestors, stating that Xu Yuan might soon join the Jue Xing Ancient City, with the hope of becoming a True God¡­ If he returned to Abyss Country from Jue Xing Ancient City in the future, he would be a top existence in Abyss Country.


    Now was the best time to forge a connection.


    Not seeking to latch onto a relationship, but just not to be disliked by Xu Yuan.


    The abundance of congratulatory gifts also left the house manager Ren Qing somewhat numb; she never thought that one day she would receive treasures worth thousands of Fangshen Crystals¡­ She even harbored a thought.


    ¡°Why not run away with the treasure? With so many divine crystals, they could be exchanged for precious cultivation resources; maybe I could even cultivate to the Semi-Divine Limit,¡± a hint of greed arose in Ren Qing¡¯s heart.


    But she soon gave up on the idea.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Unless I flee the East Domain, the Black Abyss Guard of Abyss Country would definitely capture me,¡± another idea emerged in Ren Qing¡¯s mind: ¡°And now, perhaps there is also an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°From what Sha Xi Pseudo-God said, does Master Xu Yuan not have a family? No spouse or children either.¡±


    ¡°That means, I am currently the closest under Master Xu Yuan¡¯s command, able to gain his trust. In the future, if Master Xu Yuan becomes a Pseudo-God or even the legendary True God¡­ the benefits and opportunities will be plentiful,¡± Ren Qing thought to herself.


    Her heart also harbored a desire to become divine.


    On the Jue Xing Continent, there were many legends and tales of a person¡¯s success leading to the elevation of their entire surroundings.


    Inside Abyss Country, there were such cases.


    It is said that the extremely low-profile ¡®Gou Mu True God¡¯ had once assisted Jiang Yuan True God when he was a Pseudo-God. At that time, Jiang Yuan True God was only at the Flying Heaven Level, but later Jiang Yuan helped Gou Mu to become a True God after becoming a True God himself.


    After clarifying everything, Ren Qing took her management of the estate more seriously, receiving the visits from various families.


    ¡­


    Inside the Quiet Chamber of the estate.


    Naturally, Li Yuan was unaware of Ren Qing¡¯s change in thought; he continued his devoted cultivation, refining one Jue Xing Divine Pill after another.


    After refining another fifty-three Jue Xing Divine Pills in one go.


    Including the initial ten, with the one currently being refined, it made up the sixty-fourth Jue Xing Divine Pill that Li Yuan had refined.

 Chapter 793 - 416: Gift! Willpower Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes, Monthly Ticket Draw)_3

    Chapter 793: Chapter 416: Gift! Willpower Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes, Monthly Ticket Draw)_3


    ¡°Boom boom boom!¡±


    From the Jue Xing Divine Pill, a soul shock emerged that exaggeratedly escalated, furiously assaulting Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°Hold it!¡± roared Li Yuan inwardly.


    The terrifying soul shock, like a relentless great river, seemed slow but left Li Yuan with no escape; even his Soul Secret Treasure couldn¡¯t be activated and he could only forcibly endure.


    This shock was capable of shaking the soul.


    It made Li Yuan¡¯s body almost uncontrollable under the overwhelming pressure.


    In fact, since using the sixtieth Jue Xing Divine Pill, the soul shocks had become increasingly astounding, gradually approaching Li Yuan¡¯s limit.


    But,


    With a will nearly at the Pseudo-God Level, Li Yuan stubbornly endured and refined three more Jue Xing Divine Pills.


    But the sixty-fourth pill evidently surpassed Li Yuan¡¯s endurance limit.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will could no longer withstand it; his mind went blank, intense pain surged to his heart, and he collapsed.


    And at the moment Li Yuan could no longer resist, that soul shock also vanished without a trace.


    After a long time,


    ¡°Phew!¡± Li Yuan slowly regained consciousness, propped himself up, and secretly thought: ¡°Indeed, just like the intelligence reported by Jiang Yuan True God, the soul shock from Jue Xing Divine Pill is not a soul attack¡­ it only suppresses and shocks, at most causing unconsciousness without leading to soul collapse.¡±


    This was also why Li Yuan dared to attempt reaching his limit.


    ¡°The effect of the Jue Xing Divine Pill is indeed excellent, although the ninth Star Meridian is still not awakened.¡±


    Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, sensing the eight Star Meridians in the Life Starry Sky: ¡°But refining them non-stop, awakening nearly twenty thousand Life Stars, surprisingly allowed my sixth Star Meridian to break through to the Nine Layers Level.¡±


    Li Yuan also looked at the Divine Palace panel: Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    [Star Meridians: 8 Star Meridians (10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+9 Layers+8 Layers+7 Layers)]


    The first five Star Meridians of the eight have already reached the Perfect Star Vein Level; the last three awakened by Jue Xing were gradually nearing Nine Layers Level throughout these years of attempts.


    Both the quantity and quality of Star Meridians are important.


    Just like in the case of Six Star Pulse, someone who can cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique and someone only able to cultivate the Seven Stars Technique naturally differ vastly in strength.


    The former, if cultivating the Body Refining Star Technique, could rival the might of a Seven Star Pulse practitioner.


    The latter would be much weaker.


    Like many practitioners of Seven Star Veins or Eight Star Veins, why their Law Comprehension is generally very high is an important reason¡ªthey mostly have two to three Nine Layer Star Veins, allowing them to cultivate supporting Supreme Star Techniques to dramatically increase their Law Compatibility.


    ¡°My quality of Star Meridians, among those with Eight Star Meridians, should indeed be among the top,¡± Li Yuan thought secretly.


    Besides the eight awakened Star Meridians, the disorganized Unowned Life Stars had also reached a new peak.


    ¡°Steady progress.¡±


    ¡°As long as it¡¯s not the limit, I can always awaken more Life Stars,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shimmered with light: ¡°Even without Spiritual Guidance, there is still hope to awaken the Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    Spiritual Guidance is very important.


    But Li Yuan never placed all his hopes on Spiritual Guidance.


    Just like before, Li Yuan strived to become a Semi-Divine Level Soul, and thus directly broke from a Six Star Pulse to a Seven Star Pulse.


    ¡°External opportunities are important.¡±


    ¡°But if I solely rely on Spiritual Guidance, hoping to eventually become a Ten Star Meridian, that might just be an illusion,¡± Li Yuan calmed down, adjusted his inner state, and began to cultivate the Boundary Cloud Spear.


    In his mind, scenes from the Mirror of Laws appeared.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh~


    A series of spear shadows continuously appeared around Li Yuan, each transforming the same technique¡ªthrust!


    Forward thrust!


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s the Wind, Earth Laws, or the Mysteries of Space Comprehension, if taken separately, I wouldn¡¯t reach the Pseudo-God Level,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°But combining all three, I was able to comprehend the fourth technique of the Boundary Cloud Spear, elevating the Spear Technique Profoundness, comparable to the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    Many Pseudo-Gods, individually comprehending a Basic Law, would reach the Seven Stages of Perfection Level, and in terms of the profoundness of moves, they might not even catch up to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Keep comprehending.¡±


    ¡°Understanding more Mysteries of the Laws and integrating them into my spear techniques will make it stronger.¡±


    ¡°The founder of the Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s technique was centered around the Earth and Wind Laws, with the Mysteries of Space as support¡­ but I am the exact opposite, with the Space Law as the core,¡± although Li Yuan learned the Boundary Cloud Spear¡­


    But as his understanding deepened, he gradually formed his own interpretation.


    In the lineage of Space, Li Yuan was clearly superior to the Earth and Wind Laws.


    ¡­


    After a long simulation of the spear technique, Li Yuan, tired from refining Jue Xing Divine Pills, had also recovered quite a bit.


    ¡°Begin practicing the Visualization Method.¡± Li Yuan switched to another method.


    Ever since his Origin Power cultivation reached the limit.


    Cultivating Star Meridians, comprehension of Spear Technique, and will training¡­ these three had been the focus of Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation, usually alternating between them.


    In a sense.


    Li Yuan always maintained the habits of his younger years, wholeheartedly immersing in cultivation.


    In the Spiritual World, within the Divine Palace.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness converged, as usual, focusing on the Great Sun Jade Platform, and the surrounding scenery changed immediately, transporting him into the vast Starry Sky.


    That sun-like star was still suspended there.


    ¡°Starry Sky Great Sun.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness rapidly approached the Great Sun, its radiating light containing tremendous might, constantly trying to suppress Li Yuan.


    However,


    After so many years of cultivation, Li Yuan¡¯s will had grown close to the Pseudo-God Level; these lights could hardly affect him.

 Chapter 794 - 416: Gift! Willpower Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes, Monthly Ticket Draw)_4

    Chapter 794: Chapter 416: Gift! Willpower Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes, Monthly Ticket Draw)_4


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body flew nearer and nearer, eventually stopping at a position extremely close to the Great Sun.


    Here, the gigantic fireball seemed like half the universe itself, blazing and endless, and one could even clearly see the fiery serpents dancing upon the fireball¡­ Their scorching glow enveloped Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body.


    Pain!


    A terrible agony targeted at the soul.


    ¡°Great Sun Refining Heart.¡±


    ¡°Observing the vastness of the Starry Sky.¡± The pain of the soul being scorched that was enough to drive many Flying Heaven Warriors insane did not suffice to alter Li Yuan¡¯s expression.


    He had attempted to approach the Great Sun numerous times.


    ¡°Soul Metamorphosis, will make the will stronger!¡±


    ¡°If the will is powerful, it also makes the hope for Soul Metamorphosis greater.¡± Li Yuan silently recited in his heart: ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, though unbearably painful, it is the supreme method that continuously transforms the Soul Will.¡±


    No matter how strong the method is.


    No matter how good the opportunity.


    One must also seize it with all one¡¯s strength to achieve anything.


    Just like many Heavenly God¡¯s Descendants, their training environment from a young age often surpassed that of their parents¡­ but their achievements mostly would not overtake that of their parents.


    ¡°Sss hss~¡± That terrible torment was also slowly transforming Li Yuan¡¯s will.


    Although his Soul Will had long reached Level 49.


    But Li Yuan firmly believed that, even if each time he endured torment akin to hell, as long as he could progress even a little, he would welcome the day of complete transformation sooner.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Boom rumble~¡± The invisible glow of the Great Sun, like a sharp blade, struck time after time, injuring Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    Splash~


    Li Yuan was also circulating the ¡°Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡± allowing the vast Starry Sky behind him to transmit strands of mysterious power, continuously nurturing the soul¡­ but the weariness from the torment of the will could only be endured by himself.


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body stood firm like a rock, not moving a single inch.


    ¡°It seems, still unable to make a breakthrough, practice for a while longer, then wait for the next time.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was very calm: ¡°Judging the time, the Nine Sounds Realm will open soon.¡±


    ¡°A True God level Soul Master, has created this realm for the purpose of taking in disciples, may it bring me some insight.¡±


    Just at this moment.


    ¡°Boom~~¡±


    Without a sound,


    Beneath the nurturing of the body, influenced by the Origin of the Law of the Great Dao,


    And still, day after day, he practiced ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± even after his will reached Level 49.


    Li Yuan¡¯s will, which had already reached the Semi-Divine Limit, finally underwent transformation at this moment, breaking through that crucial bottleneck.


    From mortal to Divine! S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just like a chain reaction, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body suddenly burst into dazzling flashes of light, like colored glaze, also signifying that his will had completely entered a new level.


    Pseudo-God Level!!


    ¡°If the heart is like colored glaze, unaffected by the external world, by persisting in one¡¯s heart, one can endure and exist for a long time.¡± Li Yuan had some enlightenment in his heart: ¡°Is this the essence of the will at the Divine level?¡±


    Whether they are Prime Warriors, or Flying Heaven Warriors, or even Demigod powerhouses, their wills have been growing stronger, but there has never been a fundamental difference.


    In the face of one calamity after another, they often waver in their hearts, doubting whether their choices are wrong.


    It¡¯s hard to maintain the original intention!


    Only by persisting in one¡¯s heart, persisting in one¡¯s Dao, questioning the heart over and over again without slacking, can the will transform continuously, evolve continuously, and finally achieve the level of ¡®If the heart is like colored glaze.¡¯


    ¡°The heart holds no good or evil.¡±


    ¡°Nor does it hold any judgments of good or bad.¡±


    ¡°Some terrible demons, who have killed countless, have destroyed worlds and planets, yet their will is terrifyingly extreme,¡± Li Yuan, feeling his will metamorphosing, further understood: ¡°The so-called right and wrong, they¡¯re merely others¡¯ opinions.¡±


    ¡°And the truly strong, have hearts that cannot be shaken, only adhering to their own path.¡±


    ¡°Just like this.¡±


    ¡°Only then can one, over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years of time, not lose oneself.¡±

 Chapter 800 - 419: Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan (Additional release for monthly votes.)

    Chapter 800: Chapter 419: Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan (Additional release for monthly votes.)


    In Wu Beihong¡¯s small hall.


    ¡°Beihong!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan and the others have gone to challenge it, with Baili Teng and Jiang Jun among others present.¡± Someone in the hall immediately pointed this out to Wu Beihong.


    Just as there are many Divine Fire Palace members surrounding Jiang Shan, similarly, with the strength and background of Wu Beihong, there are also many formidable Flying Heaven Semi-Divine following him.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Wu Beihong sneered: ¡°That Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, they challenge it year after year, and each year they stop at the Ninth Realm, really not ashamed¡­ As for Xu Yuan, his combat strength is strongest, but I don¡¯t know about his Soul Will.¡±


    ¡­


    At another unremarkable table, Leng Yan was also here with his friends and servants.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has gone to challenge.¡± Ji Ming said in a low voice.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, daring to take risks?¡± Leng Yan frowned, ¡°With his strength, joining Jue Xing Ancient City would be a piece of cake, there¡¯s no need to take risks in the Nine Sounds Realm. Are you saying he plans to seek apprenticeship under the Nine Sounds True God?¡±


    Although annoyed with Li Yuan,


    Leng Yan wasn¡¯t foolish; he was well aware of how high Li Yuan¡¯s talent and strength were, knowing it would be easy to become a disciple under a True God.


    Nine Sounds True God? Within Abyss Country, naturally attracts countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divine to become disciples¡­ but among the many True Gods in Jue Xing Ancient City, he was definitely not among the top tier.


    If he were one of the extremely strong True Gods, why would he follow Jiang Yuan True God?


    ¡°The challenge has begun.¡±


    Ji Ming¡¯s face suddenly showed a hint of shock: ¡°Jiang Shan¡¯s progress is rapid, truly worthy of being the first on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡­


    Almost everyone was watching the shining dots on the surface of the Nine Sound Building¡­ since there were very few left challenging now.


    And people like Jiang Shan and Li Yuan, among the seven, were entering one after another.


    Thus, the multitude of spectators, from the sequence in which the red and purple dots appeared, could infer the identity of the challengers.


    Especially Li Yuan, he was the only ¡®red light¡¯ among the seven.


    After entering the Nine Sound Tower.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The purple dot belonging to Jiang Shan was breaking through continuously, reaching the Fourth Level area in just tens of seconds after blasting through the Third Level.


    This scene astounded the spectators.


    It was too fast, creating a stark contrast to the previous thousands of challengers.


    Baili Teng followed closely behind, also swiftly crossing the Second Level.


    ¡°Truly worthy of being the first on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°Baili Teng, indeed a top ten existence on the Semi-Divine List, truly formidable.¡±


    ¡°Strong in direct combat, and their Soul Will is also extremely powerful,¡± the multitude of spectators whispered among themselves.


    ¡°But as for Xu Yuan, it seems he¡¯s fallen to the last, still in the First Level now.¡±


    ¡°Not surprising, he¡¯s just Flying Heaven Level, you think he can progress faster than Jiang Shan and the others?¡±


    ¡°High Law Comprehension and Star Meridian don¡¯t mean Soul Will is necessarily strong.¡± S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Indeed.


    Among the seven challenging the Nine Sound Tower at the same time, Li Yuan was indeed the most inconspicuous one.


    While Jiang Shan had broken into the Fifth Level in one breath, Li Yuan was still at the First Level.


    ¡­


    Inside the First Level of the Nine Sound Tower.


    ¡°Truly profound.¡±


    ¡°This Illusionary Realm¡¯s construction method is quite different from the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡± Li Yuan was still immersed in the Illusionary Realm.


    With his strength, he could break free from the multiple layers of Illusionary Realm in the First Level with just a thought.


    But for Li Yuan, passing the realms was not his intention; he simply wanted to grind his Soul Will.


    There was no need to rush through.


    ¡°The Illusionary Realms of the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture penetrate silently into my heart, stirring the deepest desires within, and making me indulge and reluctant to awaken,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°it targets the weaknesses in my mind.¡±


    ¡°Even knowing it¡¯s false, I still can¡¯t help but indulge in some Illusionary Realms.¡±


    Just like in the Seven Star Civilization, many people are addicted to gaming, videos, and web chatting¡­ who doesn¡¯t know it¡¯s false?


    But the false can be happier than reality.


    Knowing it¡¯s a deception, yet like a moth to flame.


    The layers of Illusionary Realms into which Li Yuan fell while touching the Great Sun, are thousands of times more terrifying than some temptations in reality.


    ¡°But the Illusionary Realm of the Nine Sound Tower magnifies ¡®fear¡¯, causing the beings to be infiltrated unknowingly by extreme fear, and then obscuring many perceptions¡­¡± Li Yuan realized, ¡°The fear of losing cultivation, the fear of death¡­¡±


    ¡°Fear can make people irrational.¡±


    ¡°Fear can make people lose courage.¡±


    Many people are literally scared to death.


    ¡°Extreme fear, it¡¯s also a type of Illusionary Realm technique, interesting.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    Coming to the Nine Sound Realm was the right choice.


    Li Yuan did not rush to break through the layers of Illusionary Realms, instead, he fully enjoyed it, letting the invisible Illusionary Realm completely envelop his mind.


    To defeat the enemy,


    One must first understand the enemy.


    ¡°Three days¡¯ time, no hurry, only ten minutes have passed.¡± Li Yuan was very patient.


    His Soul Will was incredibly strong, and despite being enveloped by the invisible soul fluctuations of the First Level, in his heart, he remained absolutely clear.


    ¡­


    In the higher void of the Nine Sound Tower, a group of Pseudo-Gods emitting aura gathered here, observing the situation of the challengers in the Nine Sound Tower and exchanging comments with each other.


    There were as many as thirty Pseudo-Gods.


    For events like the Nine Sounds Realm that happen once a year, they normally wouldn¡¯t attract much attention from Pseudo-Gods.


    ¡°There seem to be quite a few who are free this year.¡±


    ¡°Even Dong Lin has come.¡± A woman in a fiery red robe laughed, ¡°With so many people coming, it seems that Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s recruitment of new members is indeed attracting attention.¡±


    ¡°Are they all here to watch Xu Yuan? Or is it Jiang Shan?¡±


    This woman in the fiery red robe was the real controller of the Nine Sound Building, and also a follower under the Nine Sounds True God.


    ¡°This year¡¯s challengers are quite ordinary.¡±


    ¡°The previous thousands of people, not one met the minimum standard, what a pity.¡± These Pseudo-Gods had extremely high standards.


    If someone reached the minimum standard to receive a gift from the Nine Sounds True God, they were willing to take them as disciples.


    A powerful Soul Will signifies an extremely resolute heart. Even if the cultivation speed is slow, they could keep improving, and the probability of eventually becoming a Pseudo-God is also very high.


    Unfortunately.


    Not one of them caught their eye.


    ¡°Jiang Shan and Baili Teng indeed progressed quickly, Jiang Shan has already reached the Eighth Level, how much time has passed? Is the King giving him so much importance?¡±


    ¡°Mist Mountain King has indeed produced a good son,¡± these Pseudo-Gods commented.


    ¡°As for Xu Yuan, he is somewhat disappointing to me, how much time has passed, and he has only reached the Third Level? Although Soul Will and Law Comprehension are not related, he seems too weak.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s just at Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°I have found his information; it seems he¡¯s not even forty years old.¡±


    ¡°Not even forty? That young? No wonder his soul will is relatively weaker.¡± The several Pseudo-Gods present suddenly understood.


    Usually, the older one lives and the more one is honed, the stronger their natural soul will becomes.


    ¡°It looks like he should be able to pass the third level, not sure if he can get through the fourth.¡± A Pseudo-God assessed, ¡°I thought he could make it through the fifth level.¡±


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, with such high Law Comprehension, reaching the Nine Sounds True God standard should not be difficult.¡± Another Pseudo-God also expressed doubt.


    So many Pseudo-Gods had come.


    Apart from looking for promising seeds worth nurturing, they also wanted to observe Xu Yuan.


    ¡°Gentlemen, let¡¯s not jump to conclusions too soon.¡± The elderly man in the purple robe smiled, ¡°This Xu Yuan, I¡¯m afraid, might just surprise you all.¡±


    ¡°Dong Lin¡¯s meaning? Is Xu Yuan¡¯s soul will very strong?¡±


    ¡°Dong Lin, what do you know?¡± The other Pseudo-Gods were immediately curious.


    Dong Lin Pseudo-God, was in charge of Jue Xing Ancient City in Abyss Country.


    In terms of strength, many Pseudo-Gods present were not inferior to Dong Lin Pseudo-God, but when it came to intelligence, they were far behind.


    ¡°Can¡¯t say, just watch and see.¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God smiled mysteriously.


    In fact, Dong Lin Pseudo-God did not know how strong Li Yuan¡¯s soul will was.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°To make Jing Kui think he is the strongest he¡¯s seen¡­¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God muttered to himself, ¡°This Xu Yuan, can he possibly make it through the seventh or even the eighth level?¡±


    ¡­


    Half an hour passed.


    Baili Teng, Jiang Jun, and the others had all finished their attempts, and in the end, they only managed to pass through the seventh or eighth level.


    ¡°Xu Yuan and Jiang Shan are still going?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan is on the fourth level? That shouldn¡¯t be right!¡±


    Xu Yuan¡¯s situation puzzled Baili Teng and others; although they had not confirmed that Li Yuan had a Pseudo-God level soul will, even a vague sense allowed them to judge that Li Yuan¡¯s soul will was extremely strong.


    How could he only be on the fourth level?


    ¡°Jiang Shan is challenging the ninth level, and he has been in there for quite a while, not sure if he can make it through.¡±


    Jiang Shan¡¯s performance was as stable as ever.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, the entire Nine Sound Tower lit up brilliantly, followed by a purple light soaring straight into the sky from the top of the tower, dazzling endlessly.


    ¡°Passed the ninth level?¡±


    ¡°Has Jiang Shan passed the ninth level?¡±


    ¡°As expected of number one on the Semi-Divine List.¡± This scene immediately shocked countless onlookers.


    To pass through the Nine Sounds Realm? There haven¡¯t been many in Abyss Country for over a thousand years!


    This requires extraordinarily high soul will.


    For Jiang Shan, even as the first on the Semi-Divine List, many did not believe he could do it, considering that for the past dozen years, he participated every year but always stopped at the eighth level.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    In one of the halls, Wu Beihong¡¯s cup exploded instantly, his face ashen: ¡°Damn it! This guy, he also made it through the ninth level?¡±


    But Wu Beihong was well aware, to pass through the Nine Sounds Realm, there was no trickery involved.


    The only explanation was that, in terms of soul will, Jiang Shan had completely surpassed him.


    ¡­


    ¡°Actually made it through the ninth level?¡±


    ¡°This kid Jiang Shan is indeed formidable.¡±


    ¡°With such a strong soul will, once he joins Jue Xing Ancient City, his growth will be even faster.¡± Above the Nine Sound Tower, many Pseudo-Gods sighed with emotion.


    ¡­


    ¡°Haha!¡±


    ¡°Constant grinding really works.¡± Jiang Shan, full of vigor, had just flown down from the Nine Sound Tower to his group of friends and laughed, ¡°In the ninth level, as I was about to fail, I somehow broke through unknowingly, stepping into the Pseudo-God level.¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God level will?¡±


    ¡°Impressive.¡± Baili Teng, Jiang Jun, Yan Long, and others came forward to congratulate him, also quite shocked.


    For a Semi-Divine, whether it¡¯s breaking through the will or soul to the Pseudo-God level, it¡¯s extremely difficult.


    Comparatively speaking.


    It¡¯s even harder to break through the will than the soul.


    ¡°Breaking through the will! The hope of a soul breakthrough to the Pseudo-God level will be greatly diminished,¡± Baili Teng said. ¡°Jiang Shan, if you can also make your soul breakthrough, perhaps in the future you could reach the Eight Star Veins of Jue Xing!¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God level soul? Difficult!¡± Jiang Shan shook his head, ¡°Eight Star Veins¡­ even more so.¡±


    Jiang Shan did not dare to think about the Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Hm? Where¡¯s brother Xu Yuan?¡± Jiang Shan looked around and did not spot Xu Yuan.


    ¡°Brother, Big Brother Xu is still inside the Nine Sound Tower,¡± Jiang Xuan pointed towards the Nine Sound Tower in the sky.


    ¡°Still in the Nine Sound Tower, which level?¡± Jiang Shan asked in confusion.


    At this moment, there were still dozens of red dots inside the Nine Sound Tower, and naturally, he couldn¡¯t tell which one was Li Yuan.


    ¡°The fourth level,¡± said Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Brother Xu is only at the fourth level?¡± Jiang Shan was even more puzzled, frowning, ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be right.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±


    ¡°By my estimate, brother Xu is perhaps trying it for the first time and wants to stay a bit longer. He will definitely pass the sixth or even the seventh level soon,¡± Baili Teng laughed.


    Time passed.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has passed the fourth level.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Yuan has passed the fifth level, and has already met the minimum requirement to receive a gift.¡±


    ¡°Number one on the Flying Heaven List, that¡¯s about right.¡±


    ¡­


    Two hours later.

    People kept attempting, and

    Chapter 801: Chapter 420: To Ask Is To Desire (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)


    Inside the Nine Sound Tower, at the Ninth Level, there was nothingness.


    In reality, all nine levels of the Nine Sound Tower were vast and quiet places, devoid of any decorations or objects.


    However, the scenes encountered and faced in the spiritual world of everyone who entered were different, all stemming from their hearts.


    And in this nothingness, Li Yuan stood quietly.


    His eyes tightly shut.


    ¡°Illusionary Realm.¡±


    ¡°This illusionary realm of fear on the ninth level is indeed intricately constructed, far surpassing the eighth level,¡± Li Yuan marveled in his heart.


    When he broke through the first eight levels, even the layered illusions of the eighth level could not disturb the clarity deep within Li Yuan¡¯s spirit; he easily regained consciousness.


    It was only to experience the layered illusion constructed by the Nine Sounds True God that he had delayed for so long.


    After all, Li Yuan¡¯s soul was strong, nearly reaching the Pseudo-God Level.


    His will was even stronger!


    With such a strong spiritual will, it was almost impossible for ordinary illusions to deceive him.


    But the illusions contained in the ninth level were completely different; they were not just simple fear illusions.


    ¡°Fear!¡±


    ¡°Simple fear cannot surpass life and death,¡± Li Yuan mused silently: ¡°Between life and death lies great terror, life and death are also the most primal and greatest fear of countless lives.¡±


    ¡°Why eat and drink? To stay alive!¡± S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Why procreate? It is the genes wanting to continue.¡±


    ¡°Why strive to cultivate? It¡¯s for immortality,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    ¡°Life! It is the greatest desire!¡±


    ¡°Death! It is the greatest fear!¡±


    ¡°The fear of death, at its core, is the desire for life,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself: ¡°When I first ventured into the first layer of the Nine Sounds Realm, I thought fear illusions were different from desire illusions.¡±


    ¡°I was wrong. The source of fear is also a part of desire; endless desires, thus endless illusions.¡±


    ¡°The mysteries contained in the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture indeed surpass the illusions constructed by the Nine Sounds True God.¡±


    ¡°The strong, those who seek, will have desires.¡±


    ¡°I fear not being able to complete the tasks of the Eternal Hall, fundamentally because I yearn to return to my homeland, protect my hometown, and see my family again¡­ These are all desires.¡±


    ¡°No one can transcend desires.¡±


    ¡°Those without desires are only stones,¡± Li Yuan realized: ¡°And facing desires, apart from suppressing desires, being controlled by them¡­ there is actually a third path, facing desires and controlling them.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed suddenly in his heart.


    He recalled the scene before he entered the Nine Mountains World.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°Some things, I did wrong.¡±


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, his inner will suddenly radiated a dim lustrous light, much brighter than before, easily dispersing the invisible fluctuations enveloping his spiritual world.


    Like snow melting rapidly under the scorching sun.


    And on the panel of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace, several notifications silently appeared.


    ¡°[Your will level has increased from level 50 to 51]¡±


    ¡°[Your will level has increased from 51¡­]¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°[Your will level has increased from 53 to 54]¡±


    ¡­


    In just a few days, Li Yuan had gone through two seemingly endless journeys through illusionary realms, and his spiritual will truly transformed astonishingly from the inside out.


    His will also jumped from the previous level 49 to 54.


    Now, in terms of the strength of will, even among countless Pseudo-Gods, Li Yuan was already considered exceptional.


    This is the wonder of will growth.


    Unlike Origin Power, which must be accumulated slowly, and unlike Law Comprehension, which must be gradual, even so-called epiphanies require a long time of accumulation¡­ The transformation of the spirit is often more unfathomable.


    ¡°Facing desires.¡±


    ¡°Facing fear, and you won¡¯t be driven by desires,¡± Li Yuan took a step forward, transformed into a stream of light, and flew out of the ninth level passage.


    Unlike Jiang Shan, who passed through the Nine Sounds Realm.


    Jiang Shan, in his madness, broke through the illusionary realms layer by layer, and if let him do it again, the infinite illusions of the ninth level would still cause him great trouble¡­ Meanwhile, Li Yuan repeatedly experienced those illusions until he understood their essence.


    At this moment.


    The many illusions of the Nine Sounds Realm no longer had any effect on honing Li Yuan, nor could they confuse him.


    ¡­


    Under the gaze of countless spectators.


    Whoosh~


    The Nine Sound Tower suddenly burst into dazzling light, causing the heaven and earth to tremble faintly, followed by a red light soaring into the sky.


    Li Yuan was already floating in the void.


    Not far away, Jiang Shan, Jiang Xuan, Baili Teng, and others, all rushed over, their eyes filled with awe.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you are too incredible,¡± Jiang Xuan said excitedly: ¡°Flying Heaven Level, having completely passed through the Nine Sounds Realm¡­ My god!!¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, impressive,¡± Jiang Shan also felt moved; although he had also passed the ninth level.


    But is passing at Flying Heaven Level the same as passing at Semi-Divine Level?


    Moreover, Jiang Shan also knew Li Yuan¡¯s age, being so young and yet possessing such terrifying spiritual will¡­ It was simply unimaginable.


    If previously, Jiang Shan had some pride in his heart, now he was thoroughly convinced, understanding that his talent was far inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, from now on, you are the peer I admire the most,¡± Yan Long continued: ¡°Even Prince Jiang Shan has to rank second now.¡±


    ¡°I have no objections,¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile.


    ¡­


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°How can this Xu Yuan be so strong?¡± Wu Beihong couldn¡¯t believe it: ¡°I can¡¯t even pass the Nine Sounds Realm, a Flying Heaven Level, and his spiritual will is even stronger than mine?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°I dared to provoke such an exceptional monster before?¡± Leng Yan was both fearful and relieved in his heart.


    ¡°Luckily!¡±


    ¡°Luckily I bowed my head early; if he rises in the future, he probably won¡¯t target me,¡± Leng Yan muttered to himself in secret.


    At this moment, he felt the most correct decision he made was to decisively humble himself a few days ago.


    Being an enemy of such an extraordinary monster is simply seeking death!


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, high up in the void, a group of Pseudo-Gods who had been conversing earlier were also shocked when they saw Li Yuan rushing through the Nine Sounds Realm.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, breaking through the Nine Sounds Realm set by the master? And the information shows that he is only in his thirties,¡± the owner of the Nine Sound Building was thoroughly shocked.


    Others might not understand the difficulty of the Nine Sounds Realm, but she was very clear about it.


    To break through the Sixth Realm, one must have Spiritual Will reaching the Semi-Divine Peak standard.


    To break through the Ninth Realm, one must have Spiritual Will reaching the Pseudo-God threshold.


    ¡°This youngster.¡±


    ¡°His soul is strong, but it shouldn¡¯t reach the Pseudo-God Level, otherwise he couldn¡¯t have deceived me,¡± the owner of the Nine Sound Building thought, ¡°It¡¯s the will! His will is terrifyingly strong.¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level, yet forged such an intimidating will?¡±


    ¡°Immediately send a message to the master.¡± The owner of the Nine Sound Building thought secretly: ¡°Wait¡­ the master might already know, never mind.¡±


    It was not only the owner of the Nine Sound Building.


    The other thirty-plus Pseudo-Gods, including the ¡®Dong Lin Divine¡¯ who knew a bit about Li Yuan¡¯s details, were all somewhat shocked.


    ¡°It¡¯s too monstrous.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with such strong Spiritual Will?¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God muttered to himself, ¡°No wonder Jing Kui respects him so much¡­ Such an extraordinary monster, even in Jue Xing Ancient City, there are not many who can match him.¡±


    While the other Pseudo-Gods, not being very familiar with Li Yuan or the Nine Sounds Realm,


    had a straightforward way of judging.


    Flying Heaven Level passing the Sixth Realm qualifies to be disciples under the Nine Sounds True God.


    Then passing the Ninth Level? Could it be that they qualify to be disciples under the Heavenly Divine?


    ¡°Must report to the King,¡± the always low-key Sha Xi Pseudo-God muttered secretly.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with such a strong Spiritual Will?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s so fierce.¡± The countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divine spectators totally boiled over, all quite excited.


    The Jue Xing Continent, which greatly venerates the strong.


    Li Yuan¡¯s performance, though not quite a strong one yet, was incredibly fearsome¡­ at least in terms of Spiritual Will, Li Yuan proved that he was in no way inferior to any unparalleled talent among the Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Hahaha.¡±


    ¡°Look, didn¡¯t I say it?¡± the middle-aged man in Black Armor laughed, ¡°This Mister Xu Yuan, indeed, is an extraordinary monster, and may truly be able to found a Divine Kingdom in the future.¡±


    The six Flying Heaven Levels from the County City were deeply shocked in their eyes.


    Now, they finally understood the saying, ¡®There is always someone better.¡¯


    ¡°Being the same Flying Heaven Level, compared with this Mister Xu Yuan¡­ I feel like we are different species,¡± said the Purple Garment Young man muttering.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan, Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Shan were exchanging words.


    Suddenly, the atmosphere of heaven and earth shifted, and a woman in a fiery red robe exuding a strong aura glided across the night sky, slowly descending directly towards where Li Yuan and others were.


    An invisible aura, enveloping the heavens and earth.


    ¡°Pseudo-God?¡± Both Jiang Shan and Li Yuan immediately sensed the horrifying aura emitted by the other party.


    Especially Jiang Shan, who stepped forward to block in front of everyone, his eyes filled with solemnity.


    Swoosh!


    Another purple-robed figure hurriedly flew forward, respectfully saying, ¡°Prince Jiang Shan, Mister Xu Yuan, this is our Nine Sound Building owner, ¡®Qian Huan Pseudo-God¡¯.¡±


    Nine Sound Building owner?


    Li Yuan and Jiang Shan were both startled; everyone knew there was a head owner of Nine Sound Building, but few had seen her.


    Because, atop the Nine Division Buildings, there was rumored to be a ¡®Divine Sound Building¡¯, meant for hosting divine beings, supposedly managed by the Nine Sound Building owner herself.


    Non-divine beings do not qualify to enter the Divine Sound Building.


    Thus, even Jiang Shan had not seen the Nine Sound Building owner before; he did not expect her to appear personally.


    ¡°Greetings, Divine.¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted, and Jiang Shan merely bowed slightly.


    Jiang Shan himself possesses very high strength.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, Jiang Shan, congratulations on passing the Nine Sounds Realm,¡± the fiery-red-robed woman smiled and said, ¡°The True God has messaged me; in a couple of days after the Nine Sounds Realm closes¡­ I will take you to meet the True God. Whether you wish to become disciples or not, the True God has prepared a gift for each of you.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± both Jiang Shan and Li Yuan responded.


    A gift from the True God?


    ¡­


    Qian Huan Pseudo-God came quickly and left quickly.


    Li Yuan, Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, and others had completed the Nine Sounds Realm and waited in the hall a while longer, seeing no further excitement, and gradually left.


    Today was just the first day the Nine Sounds Realm opened, and there would be more than two more days.


    But with millions watching, Li Yuan¡¯s name had quickly spread throughout the Royal Capital at an astonishing speed.


    From one divine being to numerous Flying Heaven Realm and even Prime Warriors, everyone knew that a prodigious talent had emerged in Yuan Country, not only No. 1 on the Flying Heaven List, but also a Flying Heaven who had passed through the Nine Sounds Realm.


    And as time passed, this news continued to spread throughout Yuan Country.


    ¡­


    In the void above the Yuan Country Capital, within the endless cloud-covered Imperial Palace.


    Within the majestic and infinite Temple.


    ¡°Passed through the ¡®Nine Sounds Realm¡¯ laid out by Nine Sounds?¡± a towering figure in Black Armor revealed a trace of surprise in his eyes, ¡°Unlikely, the Nine Sounds Realm has extremely high demands on Spiritual Will.¡±


    ¡°If I remember correctly.¡±


    ¡°When at the Abyss Demon Blood Den, I observed his Spiritual Will, the soul had not transformed, nor had the will given birth to the lucent glow of glass¡­ according to reason Xu Yuan shouldn¡¯t have been able to pass,¡± Jiang Yuan True God mused thoughtfully.


    ¡°Could it be, he made a great breakthrough in these past few days? A breakthrough in will? Or a soul breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°No matter what.¡±


    ¡°This youngster, truly has amazing talent, not only high in Star Vein Talent and Law Comprehension, capable of possessing such strong Spiritual Will at the Flying Heaven Level, simply flawless, truly deserving of being from the Divine Realm,¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes shimmered, ¡°Perhaps, he indeed could cultivate into a Heavenly Divine?¡±

    Chapter 802: Chapter 421: The Powerful Jing Kui! Meeting the True God (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    Although Jiang Yuan True God had previously established a Law oath with Li Yuan, Jiang Yuan True God did so with the mindset of ¡®give it a try, there is nothing to lose.¡¯


    He never truly believed Li Yuan would surely ascend to Heavenly God.


    After all, becoming a Heavenly God is incredibly difficult.


    What about awakening the Eight-Star Veins? Most direct disciples of Heavenly Gods are of the Eight-Star Veins too, but only a few eventually ascend to become Heavenly Gods.


    Therefore, after bringing Li Yuan back to Yuan Country Capital, Jiang Yuan True God gave Li Yuan opportunities¡­ rather than directly bestowing treasures upon him.


    He was also observing Li Yuan.


    In Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s view, if Li Yuan could really become a Heavenly God, then with the opportunities he provided, Li Yuan should be able to rise quickly in both Yuan Country Capital and the Starry Sky Ancient City.


    If he can¡¯t become the strongest genius of his generation in Jue Xing Continent, what chance does he have to become a Heavenly God?


    But Jiang Yuan True God hadn¡¯t expected that, in just a few days, Li Yuan had already caused such a huge stir.


    ¡°Also a Flying Heaven Eight-Star Vein.¡±


    ¡°It seems even more formidable than in my youth.¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a slight smile.


    Before he had received the inheritance of Anchi Heavenly God, he had awoken the Seven-Star Veins as a Prime Warrior, and after receiving the heavenly inheritance, he broke through again and awoken the Eight-Star Veins!


    ¡°He is about to get some real benefits.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, this Xu Yuan has a sliver of hope to awaken the Nine-Star Pulse as a Demigod.¡± Jiang Yuan True God thought secretly.


    The difficulty of progressing from Eight-Star Veins to Nine-Star Pulse was terrifyingly high. In Jue Xing Continent, Demigods with Eight-Star Veins are born in almost every generation, but in billions of years, those who have manifested the Nine-Star Pulse are extremely few.


    At least, Jiang Yuan True God himself had not managed to do so.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Being too dazzling is not always a good thing.¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes turned cold: ¡°I¡¯m afraid once the news spreads, many will start harboring ulterior motives.¡±


    Having dominated Jue Xing Continent for over ten thousand years, Jiang Yuan True God had many formidable enemies.


    With this thought.


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s mind stirred, and soon after, a breeze passed by, followed by the wind coalescing to form a blurry figure.


    ¡°Your Majesty.¡± The blurry figure said respectfully.


    ¡°Shadow Demon, I have a task for you, coming up¡­¡± Jiang Yuan True God quickly laid out his request.


    ¡°Should we inform him?¡± the blurry figure asked.


    ¡°No need, just act in secret.¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head: ¡°If nothing happens, there¡¯s no need to alert him.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The blurry figure turned back into a gust of wind and disappeared within the hall.


    ¡­


    In Yuan Country Capital, Jue Xing Divine Mountain, spanning hundreds of kilometers.


    Although there are many strong individuals stationed inside, the total number is not large, and it is not as densely populated as many Divine families, thus it¡¯s quite desolate, with continuous mountain ranges and many Treasures and Exotic Beasts living in them.


    Among one of the inconspicuous mountain ranges. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Outside a simple wooden hut.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A black-robed youth stood in the void tens of meters high, wielding a long sword. The sword suddenly trembled, and immediately his entire body erupted with countless snaking twists of lightning, exploding and covering the sky densely.


    In an instant, with him as the core, it was as if he was the source of the lightning, emanating an incredibly terrifying pressure.


    What¡¯s astonishing is that the numerous lightning snakes didn¡¯t harm the surrounding boulders or trees in the slightest; after wildly dancing around, they quickly converged back together.


    Countless tiny flashes of light met on the sword, intertwining and merging perfectly with the blade.


    ¡°Chaotic Thousand Leis.¡±


    ¡°This move is becoming more and more refined.¡± Jing Kui silently pondered, this was a powerful Heavenly God art that he was cultivating.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity.¡±


    ¡°Despite significant improvements in swordsmanship and integrating Space Law, its might is already close to that of many True God techniques.¡± Jing Kui thoughtfully said: ¡°But to break through to the eighth stage High Rank of Thunder Law, there¡¯s still a bit missing.¡±


    He might be a Demigod,


    but he possesses terrifying talent in Thunder Law, having already reached the Intermediate Rank of the eighth stage¡­ Once he progresses further, sets the Divine Fire alight, and harnesses the strength from the evolved Divine Fire, he will most likely be able to condense the Divine Heart in a very short period.


    To condense the Divine Heart is to become a True God!


    But this step is as insurmountable as the firmament, blocking his path for many years.


    ¡°I hope to break through before the Ancestral Realm battle.¡± Jing Kui mused, ¡°Then, beating those folks from Changqing Ancient City and Heavenly Snake Ancient City should be easy.¡±


    As one of the top talents of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s current generation, even Heavenly Gods take him very seriously, conversing with him personally.


    He naturally knows some information about his rivals, each one difficult to deal with.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Jing Kui¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.


    He had just received intelligence from Dong Lin Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan, both passed through the Nine Sounds Realm?¡± Jing Kui showed a hint of doubt: ¡°Is the difficulty of the Nine Sounds Realm so low? Or did Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Will breakthrough?¡±


    He had been in Yuan Country Capital for half a month, mainly for the well-known Nine Sounds Realm.


    But he had already met both Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Even if the Nine Sounds Realm is not as challenging as its reputation suggests¡­ the progress in swordsmanship is nothing to scoff at.¡± Jing Kui felt quite indifferent inside.


    Having cultivated for hundreds of years and traveled to many places across the vast lands, he had quite some experience.


    With that thought, Jing Kui turned into a streak of light, quickly soaring out of the range of Jue Xing Divine Mountain, passing through layers of clouds, and flying towards the direction of the Nine Sound Building.


    ¡­


    Nine Sound Building, the Nine Sounds Realm was still in operation.


    However, as time passed, the number of challengers dwindled, especially as most prominent figures had already made their way through, so the hustle and bustle had diminished considerably.


    The millions of spectators, though, still talked mostly about Xu Yuan and Jiang Shan. After all, it is exceedingly rare for an era to have two peerless geniuses who have conquered the Nine Sounds Realm.

    Chapter 803: Chapter 421: The Powerful Jing Kui! Meeting the True God (Seeking Monthly Votes) _2


    Of course, at this moment, many people are looking up at the Ninth Level of the Nine Sound Tower, where a purple light point is located within.


    Another person has reached the Ninth Level!


    ¡°It¡¯s Wu Beihong.¡±


    ¡°Second on the Semi-Divine List! It is said that his strength is no less than Jiang Shan¡¯s. They are evenly matched, but since Jiang Shan is from the Royal Family, he is ranked first.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan managed to get through the Ninth Level, but can Wu Beihong do it too?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say, after all, the Nine Sounds Realm tests one¡¯s Soul Will.¡± Countless onlookers were discussing fervently.


    Especially some of the more powerful demigods, they were all aware of the fierce rivalry between Wu Beihong and Jiang Shan, neither willing to concede to the other.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The purple light point on the Ninth Level dissipated, and immediately following, a figure in golden armor flew out from the entrance of the Eighth Level¡ªit was Wu Beihong, unexpectedly defeated.


    ¡°Failed?¡±


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it seems that getting through the Nine Sounds Realm is difficult after all. Xu Yuan is just an exception.¡± The onlookers communicated with each other via transmitted messages.


    Whoosh!


    Wu Beihong¡¯s face was sullen: ¡°Damn it! How could the Ninth Level be so difficult? Those endless layers of Illusionary Realm¡­ How on earth did that bastard Jiang Shan get through?¡±


    While he was grudgingly willing to accept Xu Yuan¡¯s success, as there was no enmity between them,


    But Jiang Shan¡¯s success? Worse than eating shit.


    Swoosh!


    A black streak of light suddenly flew past in front of Wu Beihong, heading toward the Nine Sound Tower, not only unabated in speed


    but also with no intention of yielding.


    Already irate, Wu Beihong became even more annoyed upon this sight, shot a cold glance at the approaching figure in black robes, and coldly snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t know to clear the way? Scram!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re telling me to scram?¡±


    The black-robed figure, who had paid no mind to Wu Beihong, was first stunned, then revealed a slight, inexplicable smile, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since a demigod dared to tell me to scram.¡±


    The next moment.


    Whirr~ A terrifying wave of soul energy suddenly burst forth, rolling towards Wu Beihong in wave after wave.


    ¡°Boom!¡± It was like a heavy hammer, this dreadful Soul Shock almost turned Wu Beihong¡¯s mind to mush, as his soul consciousness was violently trembling. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Not good, this demigod? Where did he come from?¡± Wu Beihong barely managed to keep his consciousness clear, yet his heart was filled with alarm.


    He knew, although his Soul Will had not broken through to the Pseudo-God Level, it was the pinnacle among demigods. A typical Pseudo-God¡¯s Soul Shock could at most exert a bit of pressure, but how could it be so terrifying?


    Ssst~


    A horrific lightning serpent suddenly pierced the Vast Sky and lunged at Wu Beihong.


    ¡°Not good.¡± Wu Beihong¡¯s face changed drastically, sensing a fatal threat, and without hesitation he unleashed the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, his body rapidly expanding, followed by a fierce clapping motion with both hands.


    The attack of his opponent erupted too swiftly, a combination of Soul Attack and Material Attack, almost executed in one breath.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The terrifying confrontation collided, the lightning serpent retracting upon contact, but Wu Beihong¡¯s palms were torn with countless tiny wounds, and his entire body was sent flying backwards.


    ¡°Did not use the Body Refining Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°With just one move, I¡¯m blown away? This level of strength is definitely close to the Pseudo-God Middle Rank.¡± Wu Beihong was horrified, ¡°How strong would it be if he also used the Body Refining Star Technique?¡±


    He didn¡¯t believe that the other party didn¡¯t have the Body Refining Star Technique.


    In an instant, Wu Beihong understood that he had hit a snag; this unassuming young man in black robes might well be a top genius wandering in the Yuan Country Capital from some major tribe.


    ¡°In view of our being under the same Ancient City¡¯s command, I¡¯ll only give you a lesson.¡±


    ¡°Next time, keep your mouth clean.¡± A detached voice echoed in Wu Beihong¡¯s mind.


    And that black-robed figure had already leaped into the Nine Sound Tower.


    ¡°Also under Ancient City¡¯s command? A top demigod from Jue Xing Ancient City?¡± Wu Beihong¡¯s eyes flickered.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    More than a dozen figures swept over, it was a group of Wu Beihong¡¯s demigod friends, their faces also filled with shock.


    ¡°Beihong, who was that?¡±


    ¡°So strong?¡± This group of demigod friends had seen the whole thing clearly; although the exchange between the two was fast, Wu Beihong was almost soundly defeated.


    Wu Beihong¡¯s face darkened to the extreme; had it been anyone else, he would probably have immediately signaled his family¡¯s Guard Army to come and kill them.


    But after thinking about the other party¡¯s words, and considering how unscrupulously he had attacked, Wu Beihong still suppressed the impulse in his heart, almost squeezing two words out between his teeth: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°Did they fight just now?¡±


    ¡°Wu Beihong actually lost? Who is that demigod, I didn¡¯t even see him use the Body Refining Star Technique.¡± The countless onlookers were uproarious, full of astonishment.


    Although Wu Beihong was not as famous as Jiang Shan, he still had a formidable reputation, known to possess the combat power of a Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Look quick, that mysterious demigod has already passed the fourth level.¡±


    ¡°The fifth level now!!¡±


    ¡°So fast.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s reached the sixth level already.¡± This scene left the onlookers dumbstruck.


    In less than ten seconds, from the first level directly through to the sixth?


    And that purple light, its speed almost unaffected, in just one minute had already shot up through the exit of the Ninth Level.


    The entire Nine Sound Building bloomed again with dazzling light.


    Cleared.


    ¡°My heavens! What am I seeing?¡±


    ¡°How long has it been, and he¡¯s already gotten through the complete Nine Sound Tower?¡± The previously somewhat subdued millions of spectators suddenly boiled over.


    The shock brought by this mysterious demigod was no less than Li Yuan passing the Nine Sound Tower.


    After all, although Li Yuan, at the Flying Heaven Level, had passed through, it seemed from the outside that it took a very long time.


    In contrast, the speed at which this mysterious demigod passed the trial proved that the Nine Sound Tower was far from his limit.


    Whoosh!


    ¡°This Nine Sound Tower, indeed quite mysterious.¡± Jing Kui¡¯s figure flashed, already crossing the Vast Sky, his eyes glancing at the void above.

    Chapter 804: Chapter 421: The Powerful Jing Kui! Meeting the True God (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3


    With his power, he could sense a large group of beings radiating powerful auras converging in that area.


    But he didn¡¯t care at all.


    ¡°Hmm, I shall pay a visit to the Nine Sounds True God then,¡± Jing Kui thought.


    In the high void, those dozens of Pseudo-Gods were shocked.


    Whether it was casually defeating Wu Beihong with a simple move, or crossing the Nine Sound Tower with astonishing speed, the strength Jing Kui displayed was beyond their imagination.


    ¡°Is this the young prodigy of the Ancient City you mentioned, Dong Lin?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God curiously asked.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God smiled and nodded.


    The encounter between Jing Kui and Wu Beihong was technically a violation of the laws of the Abyss Country, and it was only because he spoke up that the group of Pseudo-Gods allowed everything.


    Otherwise,


    even with Jing Kui¡¯s overwhelming strength, facing a group of Pseudo-Gods wouldn¡¯t end well as among them were more than one at the Peak of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Who is he?¡± a Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Cannot say,¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God shook his head: ¡°I have already reported to the King and the Black Abyss True God¡­ I can only tell you, he is the Saint Heir of the Ancient City.¡±


    Saint Heir?


    The group of Pseudo-Gods at the scene gasped.


    The Jue Xing Ancient City recruited reserve members, and although the requirements are high, given the broad recruitment across the entire Jue Xing Continent¡­ there were still quite a number of them.


    However, those who qualified to be referred to as Saint Heirs were very few and all represented the top geniuses of the younger generation from Jue Xing Ancient City.


    It could be said, anyone with the title of Saint Heir, as long as they did not fall, were almost destined to become True Gods.


    ¡°Unexpectedly, a Saint Heir traversed the continent, venturing into the Royal Capital of Yuan Country,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God sighed inwardly: ¡°Wu Beihong is already one of the top geniuses of Yuan Country¡­ compared to the Saint Heir of Jue Xing Ancient City, indeed much weaker.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Palace, within the Quiet Chamber,


    Li Yuan, whose will had transformed, resumed his cultivation after returning to the estate.


    ¡°Will is powerful.¡±


    ¡°It can stabilize my cultivation path and keep my spirit unshakeable, but to strengthen my power, and ultimately ascend to Heavenly God, will alone is not enough,¡± thought Li Yuan, his mind at peace.


    He was continuing to ponder the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± with speckles of spear silhouettes changing around him.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly received a message from Sha Xi Pseudo-God, the content was not complicated, he finished reading quickly.


    ¡°Wu Beihong failed the Nine Sound Tower? Normal.¡±


    ¡°But, the mysterious demigod Saint Heir from Jue Xing Ancient City, without using the Body Refining Star Technique, actually defeated Wu Beihong with one move?¡± Li Yuan was internally shocked: ¡°And passed the Nine Sound Tower in under a minute?¡±


    ¡°Was it that Jing Kui I met the first time at the Nine Sound Building?¡± S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even with a will transformed to level 54, Li Yuan himself wondered if he could pass the Nine Sound Building that swiftly¡­ which truly shows how terrifying the soul will of the opponent is.


    The key is still strength.


    ¡°Jiang Shan said, both he and Wu Beihong, their Law Comprehension are at Seven Stages of Perfection, reaching the Pseudo-God Level, ready to advance at any moment,¡± Li Yuan silently pondered: ¡°And relying on powerful Star Technique, brought their foundation to Pseudo-God Level¡­ making their overall strength, comparable to the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.¡±


    In terms of strength,


    both Jiang Shan and Wu Beihong are surpassing Fang Hai from the combat during the Feixing period.


    ¡°But Jiang Shan himself feels uncertain about entering the top thousand before the battle in the Ancestral Realm,¡± Li Yuan secretly thought: ¡°If this mysterious demigod is really Jing Kui¡­ If he were to employ the Body Refining Star Technique, his strength among the Pseudo-God Middle Rank fighters might be considered quite strong.¡±


    ¡°Is this the strength of a Saint Heir from Starry Sky Ancient City?¡±


    The level at Pseudo-God Middle Rank varies tremendously with a large upper and lower bound.


    ¡°Even the Dongfang Alliance Leader, who was so powerful and unmatched in the Feixing battle years ago, just barely reached the Peak of Pseudo-God,¡± Li Yuan secretly sighed.


    Pseudo-God entirely surpasses the Demigod.


    Thus, even an Eight Star Veins Demigod, employing the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, would at most reach near the Pseudo-God Middle Rank in terms of power basis¡­ making it extremely difficult to fight across ranks.


    ¡°Thus,¡±


    ¡°If I consider this mysterious demigod as a benchmark, wanting to obtain an Ancestral Realm Order in the battle of the Ancestral Realm in ten plus years,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°I would need at least to have near the Peak of Pseudo-God strength.¡±


    To say there is no pressure in such a short time would naturally be false.


    ¡°But good,¡±


    ¡°At least it let me completely understand the approximate strength of the top demigods on Jue Xing Continent,¡± Li Yuan calmed his heart, continuing to derive the Profoundness of the Spear Technique.


    No matter how high the talent,


    it needs daily accumulation, through day after day of cultivation and comprehension, could one welcome the day of a qualitative breakout.


    ¡­


    Jing Kui¡¯s outbreak truly shocked many, and also because he didn¡¯t reveal his identity, it triggered guesses among many uninformed Pseudo-Gods of Yuan Country.


    At the same time, due to Li Yuan, Jing Kui¡¯s consecutive actions, the news about this Nine Sounds Realm was also spreading at an astonishing rate.


    However,


    this all had no significant impact on Li Yuan for the time being; two days passed in a flash.


    As the Nine Sounds Realm closed again, Li Yuan also received another message from Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    It¡¯s time to meet the Nine Sounds True God.


    ¡°I¡¯m stepping out,¡± Li Yuan flew out of the Quiet Chamber, instructing Ren Qing.


    ¡°Yes, master,¡± Ren Qing was utterly respectful and then added: ¡°Master, in these past few days, there are many more divine families who came to visit¡­ Just the many congratulatory gifts they brought have again exceeded three thousand Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    She truly felt astonished.


    The days passed, and she and the other servants in the estate had also learned about Li Yuan¡¯s deeds in the Nine Sound Building.


    From the even more visiting divine families, one could even glimpse some, and many are families of princes.


    It made Ren Qing increasingly feel that being able to come under Li Yuan¡¯s command was a great fortune.

    Chapter 805: Chapter 421: The Powerful Jing Kui! Meeting the True God (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4


    ¡°Mm.¡± Li Yuan casually took the Storage Treasure, which also contained a list and a substantial amount of Divine Crystals.


    ¡°The visiting divine families are indeed numerous.¡±


    ¡°The gifts are clearly much heavier than before.¡± Li Yuan mused to himself, fully aware that these divine families did not expect to befriend him with these gifts alone.


    They were merely seeking to ¡®make their faces known¡¯.


    After all, if one were to predict the norm, Li Yuan was highly likely to become a True God in the future, perhaps even assume the position of King of Abyss Country¡­


    Correct, the succession of royalty in a Divine Kingdom is not always through war.


    In many powerful Divine Kingdoms, as the current King approaches the end of his life, he often abdicates voluntarily, choosing an appropriate successor¡­ and the successor need not necessarily be of his own bloodline.


    Like the Yuan Country Capital, it has historically been a Divine Country Capital, but it was not always Abyss Country.


    A Divine Kingdom can naturally last if a True God is born among its bloodline descendants.


    However.


    Looking across the entire Jue Xing Continent, aside from a very few powerful families, the vast majority of divine families would do well just to continuously produce Pseudo-Gods¡­ to consecutively produce True Gods? Extremely difficult!


    And for Abyss Country, as the core Divine Kingdom under the jurisdiction of Jue Xing Ancient City, ordinary True Gods are not qualified to be successors.


    ¡°Probably, there are many who guess that I will take over the Divine Kingdom in the future,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°After all, among the descendants of Jiang Yuan True God, not even one True God has been born, let alone a Peak True God.¡± S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Pity.¡±


    ¡°I a Demigod, am about to leave.¡±


    Thus, for these gifts, Li Yuan was mostly accepting whoever offered them; now just the gathered gifts alone were nearing a total value of close to five thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡­


    Swoosh! Li Yuan arrived in the midst of void clouds, where Sha Xi Pseudo-God and Qian Huan True God were already waiting.


    Aside from the two Pseudo-Gods, Jiang Shan had also come.


    ¡°Greetings to the two Pseudo-Gods.¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Just wait a little longer, someone else is coming,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said with a smile.


    Someone else? Li Yuan and Jiang Shan exchanged a glance, both already having their suspicions.


    As they anticipated, not long after, two figures descended through the clouds.


    One of them was Jing Kui, whom Li Yuan had met once before.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, let me introduce you, this is ¡®Dong Lin Pseudo-God¡¯ from Jue Xing Divine Mountain,¡± said Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Dong Lin Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully.


    To his knowledge, in terms of status, among the thousands of Pseudo-Gods of Yuan Country Capital, Dong Lin Pseudo-God was likely the highest, representing Jue Xing Ancient City after all.


    ¡°No need to be so courteous, in a few months, when we meet again, I might have to salute you,¡± said Dong Lin Pseudo-God with a smile, well aware of Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying talent.


    ¡°Let me introduce you, this person is¡­¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God was about to speak.


    ¡°I¡¯ll introduce myself.¡± The black-robed youth said with a smile: ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, we have met before. Last time, I didn¡¯t tell you my specific status. I am a Reserve Member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, Brother Jing Kui is formidable,¡± said Li Yuan.


    The people around couldn¡¯t help but be surprised; Jing Kui and Xu Yuan had met before? This rekindled their speculation.


    ¡°Jiang Shan, I have met you before, though you may not remember,¡± Jing Kui looked at Jiang Shan: ¡°Although you are not as outstanding as Li Yuan, once you join Jue Xing Ancient City and rank within the top thousand on the Semi-Divine List, it should be no problem.¡±


    Jiang Shan smiled helplessly.


    He could tell that Jing Kui treated Li Yuan as someone who would be on the same level as himself in the future.


    As for himself? He was hardly taken seriously.


    ¡°Alright, since the three of you are familiar with each other, please follow me,¡± said Qian Huan Pseudo-God with a smile: ¡°The True Gods are already waiting for you.¡±


    Swoosh!


    With a wave of Qian Huan Pseudo-God¡¯s hand, an invisible force wrapped around Li Yuan, Jiang Shan, and Jing Kui, swiftly gliding through the clouds towards the higher layers of the void.


    The upper regions of the Royal Capital were heavily restricted, not even Pseudo-Gods could trespass without permission.


    But clearly, Qian Huan Pseudo-God possessed certain privileges.


    Soon after, the four of them passed through layers of clouds, arriving in front of a rather expansive Void Mountain Range.


    Looking into the distance, pavilions and terraces, various rare and Exotic Beasts, and the rich aura of Origin Power spread forward.


    Like a celestial realm.


    ¡°This is ¡®Nine Sounds Divine Mountain¡¯, also where my master, Nine Sounds True God, resides,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said with a smile: ¡°As per my master¡¯s instructions, the three of you will enter separately. Xu Yuan, you go first.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Xu Yuan nodded and directly flew towards the vast mountain peak suspended in the void, quickly approaching.


    Suddenly the surrounding space altered, many vague sights became clear, and a pavilion beside a waterfall came into view.


    In the pavilion, two figures stood.


    ¡°King?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise; one of the figures was Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there, come over,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile upon seeing Li Yuan.

 Chapter 806 - 422

    Chapter 806: Chapter 422 ¡°Six Realms of Illusion


    ¡°King,¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully.


    Even in the presence of his followers, the relationship as ¡®brother disciple¡¯ with Jiang Yuan True God must not be disclosed.


    ¡°This is the Nine Sounds True God,¡± announced Jiang Yuan True God.


    The Nine Sounds True God, was a woman dressed in a gently flowing purple gauze robe that resembled misty clouds, with two fluffy long ears, her most captivating feature being her pair of purple pupils which, combined with her breathtaking beauty, possessed a terrifying allure that could enthrall all.


    ¡°Greetings, True God,¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s formidable Soul Will, he dared not meet her gaze directly, as if he would fall into a boundless sea of desires.


    True Gods proficient in the Soul Path, each one was terrifying.


    Before the era of the Divine, cultivators didn¡¯t delve deep into soul research, thus soul attacks had weak might¡­ But as cultivation progressed, due to different focuses in studying Secret Techniques and varied comprehensions of the Law, each supreme powerhouse could become extremely fearsome in their areas of expertise.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you have done quite well.¡±


    A voice as gentle that it could make one¡¯s body tingle with numbness spoke, the Nine Sounds True God smiled and said: ¡°At the Flying Heaven Level, you managed to break through the Nine Sounds Realm I laid out. In the nearly ten thousand years of my cultivation, I have never encountered a little fellow with such a strong Soul Will¡­ No wonder the King praises you highly, convinced that in the future you could stand shoulder to shoulder with us, and even have a certain chance of becoming a great Heavenly Divine being.¡±


    ¡°True God flatters me.¡± Li Yuan bowed.


    ¡°The King truly values you.¡±


    ¡°It was I who summoned you, yet he made a point of coming here personally, probably because he fears I might mistreat you,¡± the Nine Sounds True God¡¯s twin purple pupils seemed alive, her voice even more enchanting, swaying one¡¯s mind and spirit: ¡°Such a powerful Soul Will, I really wish to take you as a disciple. You would surely become my best Successor¡­ It¡¯s just a pity.¡±


    ¡°The King does not allow it.¡± The Nine Sounds True God laughed, and her laughter was filled with seduction and emotion.


    Her tone towards Li Yuan didn¡¯t sound like how an elder would treat a junior, but more like one would treat a lover.


    Which made Li Yuan even more puzzled about her attitude.


    On the side, Jiang Yuan True God remained silent, appearing to be in a trance. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t tease you any longer.¡± The Nine Sounds True God¡¯s voice suddenly softened again: ¡°I once made an external promise that those at the Flying Heaven Level who break through the Fifth Level of the Nine Sounds Realm would be given a gift, yet you passed the Ninth Level¡­ and the King spoke on your behalf.¡±


    ¡°I will give you a truly generous gift.¡±


    ¡°A gift that even the King would struggle to offer.¡±


    Hoo!


    ¡°This is the strongest Inheritance I have received, along with many insights into the cultivation of the soul, which I now bestow upon you,¡± said the Nine Sounds True God with a wave of her hand, and immediately a purple Crystal Stone flew directly towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t resist, just accept it quietly,¡± the Nine Sounds True God added.


    Li Yuan naturally did not resist any longer, only to see that the purple Crystal Stone landed on Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    The moment it touched.


    Boom! A vast amount of information began to flood crazily into Li Yuan¡¯s mind, emerging one after another.


    Even with the strength of Li Yuan¡¯s soul, it took quite some time to remember it all.


    In a trance.


    Boom!


    The moment the Method fully imprinted itself in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Consciousness seemed to be pulled an infinite distance away, entering another mysterious world.


    At the end of the void, there was an ethereal figure.


    His figure was not tall, clothed in a white robe, and compared to the entire void he seemed just a small dot, but the invisible power set him off as immensely majestic, as if shrouding the whole world.


    He was everywhere!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness, unknowingly, was completely focused on him, unable to attend to anything else.


    ¡°I! Luo Kun!¡± the figure in white slowly spoke: ¡°The path of cultivation, the cultivation of Origin Power, the comprehension of Laws, all these are the continuous understanding towards higher levels of power¡­ All living beings are in pursuit of eternal life, in pursuit of power, but many have forgotten one thing.¡±


    ¡°The stronger the power, the stronger the Soul Will needed to control it.¡±


    ¡°If one possesses power, yet the spiritual heart does not grow, then even with eternal life, one will eventually get lost in the years, completely losing oneself, and in the end, the mental spirit will collapse and die.¡±


    ¡°The growth of will.¡±


    ¡°The metamorphosis of the soul!¡±


    ¡°These are the fundamentals of life, whereas external power is merely an extension; the stronger the heart, the stronger the power one wields,¡± said the figure in white: ¡°The foundation of the growth of the spiritual heart lies in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Emotions and Six Desires are the innate abilities of life, as well as the source of Life Evolution.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ I created is divided into six realms, one realm is one world, and if one could fully cultivate all six realms, there is hope to completely control the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, achieving Perfection of the Dao Heart, and eternal life is within sight¡­ However, it¡¯s exceedingly difficult to fully cultivate successfully.¡±


    ¡°Cultivate with your heart¡ªeach progress will greatly enhance the growth of Spiritual Will, causing the soul to continually transform.¡±


    ¡°To cultivate it, it¡¯s best to combine it with Exotic Treasures like the ¡®Heart Illusion Flower¡¯ or ¡®Dream Realm Stone¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The First Realm of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion, is the Illusion of Joy and Anger¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Swoosh~


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness completely recovered, shock flashing in his eyes: ¡°This!! This Method.¡±


    In his mind, there was now an additional Method, the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion,¡¯ an incredible Method with many of Nine Sounds True God¡¯s personal realizations intermixed.


    ¡°It¡¯s too strong.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were full of awe: ¡°This is definitely an utmost supreme technique for tempering Spiritual Will, far surpassing the rudimentary Will Methods left to me by Qiu Bingzun.¡±


    Methods of Spiritual Will are hard to come by.


    Spiritual Will, elusive and subtle.


    ¡°Nine Sounds True God¡­ just an ordinary True God, could gift me such an unimaginable Method.¡±


    ¡°With this Method.¡±


    ¡°My will transformation speed will probably become even faster.¡± Thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Past.


    Although I possess the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, the Visualization Method and the cultivation of Spiritual Will are fundamentally different.


    Like before his Will underwent Transformation to reach the Pseudo-God level, Li Yuan has always relied on pure endurance of pain for Grinding himself.


    But the advancement of Will doesn¡¯t just depend on enduring pain; it also requires one to understand what one seeks and wishes for.


    And the Six Realms of Illusion is precisely a Method that dissects the fundamentals of the soul.


    Sigh!


    ¡°Thank you, Nine Sounds True God.¡± Li Yuan expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart and respectfully bowed: ¡°I shall never forget the grace of being taught.¡±


    Due to his strong Spiritual Will, Li Yuan understood the preciousness of this Method, which certainly surpassed the common Heavenly God Skills.


    ¡°There is no need for excessive formalities.¡±


    ¡°This Method also came to me by a fortunate coincidence; it is incomplete, containing only the first five Realms. The creator of this Law, Luo Kun, I am unaware of his realm; perhaps he transcends even the Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°Although the Method is incomplete, even I have yet to break through the fifth Realm, so you need not worry,¡± said Nine Sounds True God: ¡°However, to accept the inheritance, your Will must at least reach the level of a Pseudo-God before Lighting Divine Fire.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    This Method indeed was incomplete, having only the inheritance of the first five Realms, but it was already sufficient.


    Even the Nine Sounds True God, renowned for her Soul Path, has not yet cultivated to the end; what more for him?


    Also, a glimpse can reveal the whole picture.


    Li Yuan roughly guessed that the Nine Sounds Tower built by the Nine Sounds True God, with its boundless and mysterious Illusionary Realms, must have evolved from the Six Realms of Illusion.


    The difficulty of the sixth and ninth levels set up in the Nine Sounds Realm likely originated from it as well.


    To find someone capable of cultivating the Six Realms of Illusion on the Soul Path.


    ¡°In the Method, the Heart Illusion Flower, the Dream Realm Stone¡­ I¡¯ve never gotten them either, perhaps our world simply does not have such Exotic Treasures,¡± Nine Sounds True God looked at Li Yuan: ¡°But you, at Flying Heaven level, have such a strong Will, the future should enable you to exceed me.¡±


    ¡°I hope that you do not let down this Method.¡±


    ¡°I will certainly work hard,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°This Inheritance Stone can only be passed down five times; for Nine Sounds True God to be willing to pass it to you once is a tremendous kindness,¡± finally spoke Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°The inheritance imprint is within your memory, and until you cultivate it to Perfection, you cannot spread it¡­ I hope you remember this favor.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Nine Sounds, then I shall take my leave first,¡± Jiang Yuan True God waved his hand and already swept Li Yuan up into the sky, flying out of this cloud-wreathed Divine Mountain.


    Soon.


    Jiang Yuan True God brought Li Yuan to a cloud-filled expanse and stopped.


    Here lies a boundless void, where except for the clouds, there is nothing else.


    ¡°Unexpected it is.¡±


    ¡°Nine Sounds True God would actually bestow the Six Realms of Illusion to you. If the news that she possesses such a Method were to spread, even Heavenly Divines might be envious,¡± lamented Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°Most of her Direct Disciples have not received this Method.¡±


    Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    Direct Disciples haven¡¯t received it, but he has?


    ¡°Thank you, brother,¡± said Li Yuan respectfully.


    ¡°Don¡¯t thank me; I did not insist. She willingly gave it to you, perhaps it¡¯s because she took a liking to you,¡± continued Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°After all, your natural talent in Spiritual Will is honestly quite extraordinary; finding a seedling like you is indeed difficult.¡±


    Natural talent?


    Li Yuan knew that his soul talent may not be exceptionally high; perhaps it is just that he has been extremely diligent in practicing the Visualization Method.


    ¡°This time!¡±


    ¡°You truly performed well in the Nine Sounds Realm,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°In addition to Nine Sounds True God, I have also prepared some gifts for you.¡±


    Sigh!


    With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yuan True God sent a Storage Magical Treasure flying directly towards Li Yuan: ¡°Take a look inside.¡±


    Li Yuan reached out and received the Storage Magical Treasure.


    ¡°This!!¡± Li Yuan was astounded as soon as he sensed what was inside the Storage Magical Treasure.


    There were not many items, only three in total.


    The first item was no less than a thousand Jue Xing Divine Pills!


    With so many Jue Xing Divine Pills, Li Yuan need not worry about scarcity for the time being.


    The second item was a black puppet emanating a powerful aura, resembling a spider. It appeared quite delicate, yet its limbs seemed exceedingly sharp.


    ¡°A Pseudo-God Level puppet?¡± Li Yuan was shocked; in his sense, this puppet seemed even stronger than those of the Seven Star Civilization.


    The third item was a box made of special metal, holding within it a dark green fruit emitting an extremely appetizing fragrance, which tempted many people around to swallow it.


    ¡°The Awakening Divine Pill is not an extremely rare item; you may use as many as you need,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°The Pseudo-God Puppet can unleash the strength of a Pseudo-God Middle Rank. It is the strongest puppet I own, hence I leave it to you for protection on your path.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True God,¡± said Li Yuan.


    A Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet? Li Yuan was very aware of its value; many ordinary True Gods couldn¡¯t afford one even if they sold all they had.


    ¡°The third treasure is to assist your Soul Metamorphosis.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True God,¡± said Li Yuan.


    A Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet? Li Yuan was very aware of its value; many ordinary True Gods couldn¡¯t afford one even if they sold all they had.


    ¡°The third treasure is to assist your Soul Metamorphosis.¡±

    Chapter 807: Chapter 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation


    ¡°Assist in the metamorphosis of my soul?¡± Li Yuan was shocked inwardly, and observed the dark green fruit once more.


    The more he examined it with his Divine Sense, the more extraordinary it seemed, as if it contained some sort of profound mystery of the Great Dao Laws, but it also resembled many of the Soul Treasures he had encountered before, only much more powerful.


    Hum~ With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense attempted to penetrate the fruit to inquire within.


    The moment of penetration.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A surge of terrifying fluctuations, far beyond Li Yuan¡¯s imagination, instantly struck his Divine Sense, and the probing strand of Divine Sense was directly annihilated.


    Rumble~


    That overwhelming surge pierced through the Storage Treasure and directly impacted Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World.


    ¡°Huh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s complexion changed slightly, and even with the strength of his Soul Will, he felt his Spiritual World trembling.


    Several seconds later, Li Yuan finally recovered. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Such a powerful aura, it¡¯s as if it¡¯s facing the very Origin of heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    He had seen many treasures, among them True God Instruments and various Fifth Rank, even Sixth Rank treasures.


    But this dark green fruit surpassed the many treasures he had seen before.


    Suddenly.


    A thought flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, and he looked at Jiang Yuan True God and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Senior Brother, is this an Origin Treasure?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, your perception is quite discerning, to have recognized it; most Pseudo-Gods probably could not,¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed, ¡°Yes, this is a Water Origin Treasure, most conducive to nurturing the soul.¡±


    An Origin Treasure? Li Yuan was shocked inside.


    He had obtained an Origin Treasure before, the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯ given to him by Qiu Bingzun during his time in the Ming Xu Star Realm, which allowed Li Yuan¡¯s talent in the Wind Law to undergo a transformation, reaching a higher level. (Chapter 322)


    Thus laying the foundation for Li Yuan¡¯s rapid progress in the Wind Law.


    But later, through exchanges with Liu Bing and Gu You, Li Yuan also learned that the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, despite being of lower value among Origin Treasures, was still considered a treasured relic to countless True Gods.


    If a Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet required many True Gods to trade all their treasures for one,


    Then Origin Treasures would be something many True Gods would go crazy for.


    ¡°Senior Brother, what is this treasure called?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit,¡± Jiang Yuan True God replied with a smile, ¡°I acquired it yesterday from the current City Lord of the Jue Xing Ancient City, at some cost.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath; the current City Lord of the Jue Xing Ancient City? Without a doubt, it must be a Heavenly Divine being.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°To think it¡¯s the Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit, that¡¯s a treasured relic which many Heavenly Gods do not easily part with, even when nurturing their Direct Disciples,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, filled with shock: ¡°Among Origin Treasures, it¡¯s definitely one of the higher values, more than ten times that of the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind you obtained before¡­ Your senior brother is treating you too well.¡±


    ¡°This is definitely treatment reserved for a dearly beloved disciple of a Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°With the Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit, your chances of awakening the Nine Star Pulse at the Flying Heaven Level will greatly increase,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice was quite excited.


    Li Yuan was even more astonished.


    Once, Gu You had mentioned that in the Divine Realm, many powerful forces would bestow Origin Treasures upon their genius Martial Artists starting from their Prime Warrior phase to attempt awakening the Eight Star Veins (Chapter 337).


    He didn¡¯t expect to have such a day for himself.


    To think about it, when Li Yuan was a Prime Warrior, he barely survived the struggle to achieve a Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ The most critical reason was lack of resources; neither Gu You nor the Seven Star Civilization could produce top-tier treasures for cultivation.


    If he had possessed an Origin Treasure back then, there would have been no such crisis.


    Resources! They are of paramount importance on the path of Cultivation.


    ¡°Senior Brother, this Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit, are you truly gifting it to me? It¡¯s far too precious,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t resist saying.


    Jiang Yuan True God was powerful, but in the end, he was still just a True God.


    ¡°It seems you understand its worth. Rest assured, in the Divine Realm, its value is extremely high, but inside Jue Xing Ancient City, there is a living ¡®Spiritual Abyss Jade God Tree¡¯ which continuously produces the fruit,¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled, ¡°So, its value isn¡¯t as high as you think.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly; even if there was production, the effectiveness was undeniable.


    ¡°Actually.¡±


    ¡°With your talent, if you joined the Starry Sky Ancient City, willing to become a disciple under the Heavenly Divine Gate, you too could obtain this fruit,¡± Jiang Yuan True God went on, ¡°However, I do not recommend you become a disciple under another Heavenly God.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°There is no such thing as affection without reason in this world,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°The powerful pursue longevity, thirsting for eternal life.¡±


    ¡°Unless nearing the end of their lifespan, they don¡¯t actually have that much desire to propagate successors or to pass on teachings, even their own children can often face harsh expectations.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    Ordinary people desire offspring because their own lives are limited, wishing to pass on their genes and lineage¡­ But the super-strong already have longevity, their desire in that regard will sharply decrease.


    ¡°To take a master, the so-called Direct Disciple, in a certain sense, is not much different from one¡¯s own children, there is causality.¡±


    ¡°The mentor will have demands as well,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand now, but once you Light Divine Fire, you¡¯ll comprehend¡­ Causality is too heavy, entangling oneself is not necessarily a good thing.¡±


    ¡°Just like my teacher, Anchi Heavenly God is dead, gone with the Dao, so it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°If you were to take a living Heavenly God as a master in this domain, it would be very troublesome,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said.


    Li Yuan thought deeply.


    Reflecting on his journey, the mentors he had taken, the many opportunities he had received, aside from Teacher Lie Feng, all had expectations¡­ All were to be repaid by him in the future.


    With cause, there must be effect.


    ¡°Like your acquisition of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, the majority of the causality between you and Nine Sounds True God lies with me, and I will help you carry it,¡± Jiang Yuan True God explained, ¡°Similarly, by you joining Jue Xing Ancient City, just display your natural talents¡­ I will communicate with the Heavenly Gods, explain that you are my Disciple, and will bear the majority of the causality myself.¡±

 Chapter 808 - 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_2

    Chapter 808: Chapter 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_2


    ¡°In this way, the impact on you will be minimized.¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed, ¡°And as for the cause and effect between us, you just need to fulfill the promise you made that day.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a surge of inexplicable emotion in his heart.


    Jiang Yuan True God was helping him, though with a motive, but he had indeed considered all aspects for him.


    ¡°Senior brother, thank you.¡± Li Yuan said sincerely.


    ¡°Haha.¡± Jiang Yuan True God couldn¡¯t help but laugh, openly saying, ¡°The reason I help you is firstly because of your identity, you can help me in the future, this is fundamental.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, it¡¯s because you have extremely high talent, almost no weaknesses, this is very important. Star Vein Talent and Law Talent may let you progress quickly, but a strong Soul Will allows you to go far.¡± Jiang Yuan True God solemnly stated.


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Spiritual Will, indeed, is very important on the path of cultivation.


    Another thing Jiang Yuan True God didn¡¯t mention openly was that initially, in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, Li Yuan had asked him to rescue Jiang Xuan¡­ making a good impression on him.


    ?Merely from the matter of Jiang Xuan, Jiang Yuan True God preliminarily judged that Li Yuan would likely not betray him as long as he was treated sincerely.


    After all, although both parties have the constraints of a Law oath, a Law oath is not omnipotent.


    Li Yuan¡¯s own character is also very important.


    ¡°Entering Jue Xing Ancient City, without paying homage to the Heavenly Divine Gate, although you won¡¯t receive additional gifts, many treasures and methods of cultivation are still available.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°These, you have to fight for on your own.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Jiang Yuan True God had prepared well enough for him, he couldn¡¯t ask for more.


    ¡°Furthermore, even though you have awakened the Eight Star Veins, don¡¯t be in a rush to Ascend to Semi-Divine.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°The efficacy of the Lingyuan Biyu Fruit is fixed, the weaker you are, the better it absorbs perfectly¡­ If you Ascend to Semi-Divine, the effect on nurturing the soul will be significantly lessened.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    It was like remodeling a small house and a palace¡­ naturally the former is easier.


    Furthermore, Li Yuan also realized.


    Jiang Yuan True God, seems to think that he had awakened the Eight Star Veins after reaching Flying Heaven Level.


    Li Yuan did not explain further.


    Second Rank Eight Star Veins, saying it out would be too astonishing¡­ and would make many things unclear.


    For example, if he was a Second Rank Eight Star Veins member from the Chaos Divine Court¡­ logically, he should be highly valued, and treasures like Lingyuan Biyu Fruit should be available.


    ¡°Strive to transform into a Pseudo-God Level Soul while at Flying Heaven Level.¡± Jiang Yuan True God continued, ¡°By doing so, you can awaken more Life Stars at the Flying Heaven Level¡­ and increase the chances of awakening the Nine Star Pulse when Ascending to Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°This Lingyuan Biyu Fruit is extremely difficult to refine because Jue Xing Ancient City has discovered a specialized method of absorption¡­ With your strength, it would take three to five or six years to perfectly absorb it.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°You are still young, no need to rush too much.¡±


    ¡­


    Carrying the many treasures given by Jiang Yuan True God, Li Yuan returned to the Divine Fire Palace.


    He immediately entered the Quiet Chamber, activated the Origin Power Array, making it impossible for the outside world to spy even slightly.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect this.¡±


    ¡°Thought it was just a meeting with the Nine Sounds True God, and getting a treasure worth several thousand Divine Crystals would be good, but the gain turned out to be so great.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Whether it¡¯s the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion,¡± the Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet, or the Lingyuan Biyu Fruit, each was priceless.


    ¡°This cheap senior brother of yours, is indeed good to you.¡± A white-clad Phantom appeared beside Li Yuan, ¡°Even many Heavenly Divine treating their disciples might not compare to this.¡±


    ¡°This also shows his strength.¡±


    ¡°No wonder he previously said he was confident in Ascending to Heavenly Divine in the future.¡± Gu You said, ¡°I suspect, he is one of those extremely powerful beings, almost a terrifying existence like Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°Almost like Heavenly Divine?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    This exceeding ranks in battle, the further it goes, the more challenging it becomes. True Gods whose power could match Heavenly Divine are much rarer than Heavenly Divine in the Divine Realm.


    ¡°For Heavenly Divine, one must thoroughly understand a Great Dao, and with a complete Great Dao, consolidate a Divine Rank.¡± Gu You explained, ¡°But some powerhouses attempt to understand multiple Great Daos, or have profound understanding of Space Law¡­ making their moves as mysterious as those of Heavenly Divine, even stronger than many Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°Thus, even if their foundation is slightly weaker, these exceptional True Gods can still match Heavenly Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Just like himself, Spear Technique reached the Pseudo-God Level¡­ but even if he Ascended to Semi-Divine, could not reach Pseudo-God.


    Because, lighting Divine Fire prerequisites one of the Daos reaching Seven Stages of Perfection.


    ¡°Hope, with the help of Lingyuan Biyu Fruit, complete the Soul Metamorphosis.¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°This is mainly because your body is too weak, there¡¯s no way, the body is the foundation of the soul.¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°Look at Jiang Shan, he¡¯s not much worse than Fang Hai, they are both Semi-Divine, their bodies much stronger than yours¡­ yet their souls still struggle to reach Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    ¡°You are merely at Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°But, your will is strong, and you have Origin Treasure.¡± Gu You¡¯s eyes held expectation, ¡°Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse, there¡¯s always a glimmer of hope.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    If it weren¡¯t so difficult, why would the Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse become a legend in the Divine Realm?


    ¡°Sister.¡± Li Yuan curiously asked, ¡°The final treasure left by Master¡­ could its value surpass Lingyuan Biyu Fruit?¡±


    ¡°You kid.¡±


    Gu You shook her head, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the treasure father left was beyond your imagination, even the Lingyuan Biyu Fruit cannot compare¡­ once you Ascend to Divine, and obtain all of father¡¯s inheritance, you will understand.¡± (Chapter 253)


    Li Yuan was slightly amazed, he had only asked casually.


    After all, the strength of Ancient Torch Divine seemed not to match Jiang Yuan True God, Qiu Bingzun.

 Chapter 809 - 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_3

    Chapter 809: Chapter 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_3


    But according to Gu You, the Ancient Torch Divine had indeed left behind an extremely astounding treasured relic.


    ¡°You continue your cultivation, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore,¡± said Gu You, and immediately his phantom dissipated.


    In the Quiet Chamber, only Li Yuan remained.


    ¡°First, refine the Origin Treasure,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the Jade Platform, his heart quickly calming down.


    Sigh~


    Before him had already appeared the emerald green ¡®Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit¡¯, its aura restrained.


    But Li Yuan knew that once activated, it would unleash terrifying might.


    ¡°Refine.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan recalled the refinement method taught by Jiang Yuan True God in his mind, quite mysterious.


    This was a technique created by a Heavenly Divine of the Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s history, tailored to the properties of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit.


    Like taming a wild horse, brute force alone was almost impossible, but with some smart tricks and techniques, the effect could be doubled.


    The treasure itself possessed a spirit; without absolute powerful strength, one naturally needs a corresponding method to subdue it.


    ¡°Hiss¡±


    ¡°Hiss~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power and Divine Sense intertwined, invoking the Mysteries of Space, and divided into thousands of Origin Power threads. These threads, following some special patterns on the surface of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, began to infiltrate into the fruit.


    This time, the encountered resistance was indeed much smaller.


    ¡°First step, infiltrate!¡± Li Yuan was very confident internally.


    ¡°Second step, solidify patterns.¡±


    ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    Whoosh~


    The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit before Li Yuan suddenly burst into a strong light, followed by a slight aura being continuously restrained until it became ordinary.


    It had been completely refined by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Refining the Origin Treasure is somewhat similar to Artifact Refining; the method created by that Heavenly Divine is indeed unique,¡± Li Yuan sincerely admired.


    Without this method, facing the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, he could only watch helplessly.


    ¡°Absorb.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan moved the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit into the Origin Power Space.


    In the Origin Power Space.


    A nearly perfectly polished Origin Pill was suspended in the center, surrounded by strands of pure Origin Power.


    Sigh!


    The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit suddenly appeared above the Origin Pill, then strands of mysterious power began to seep out of the fruit, drilling into the Origin Pill below¡­ merging into it.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    At the moment of merging, Li Yuan felt his Soul slightly tremble, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction from within.


    This feeling was not illusory.


    The strange power contained in the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit would fundamentally enhance the Soul Origin, making the Soul Origin stronger and more active.


    Not only conducive to breakthroughs, but even if the Soul suffered trauma, it would also recover more easily.


    Even without realizing, Li Yuan¡¯s Comprehension could also see a certain improvement.


    After all, the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, even for a Heavenly Divine, had many uses, let alone for a mere Flying Heaven Level individual like Li Yuan.


    Therefore.


    To fully absorb and refine it, to complete the Soul Transformation, would take a very long time.


    ¡°Looking at the absorption speed.¡±


    ¡°To completely refine it, I estimate it would take three to four years,¡± Li Yuan roughly judged.


    ¡­


    Absorbing the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, as long as a thread of thought was divided, it could continue without interruption.


    Subsequently.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, the cultivation information for the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion¡± emerged.


    ¡°The Six Realms of Illusion,¡± First Realm, Illusion of Joy and Anger.¡±


    ¡°Second Realm, Experience the Five Wills.¡±


    ¡°Third Realm, Comprehend Seven Emotions.¡±


    ¡°Fourth Realm, Color Longevity Desire.¡±


    ¡°Fifth Mirror¡­¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°To truly start practicing, the first step is to build the Spiritual Realm of Illusion, refining the mind within one¡¯s own Illusory Realm.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World began to undergo various changes, attempting to construct a stable Illusory Realm.


    Constructing the Spiritual Realm of Illusion is entirely different from casting an Illusion Technique.


    Casting an Illusion Technique is actually based on deceiving the opponent¡¯s Spiritual Consciousness, bewitching the six roots of desires, causing the opponent¡¯s Spiritual World to unknowingly alter itself¡­ The difficulty is very low.


    Whereas constructing the Spiritual Realm of Illusion is truly creating something from nothing, with extremely high difficulty.


    In just a moment, Li Yuan gave up.


    ¡°No wonder Nine Sounds True God expressed in his insights, without the Heart Illusion Flower, Dream Realm Stone, and other treasures, one must have a Pseudo-God Level Soul, only then can one start practicing,¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    A Pseudo-God Level Soul, powerful enough, can support the initial construct of the Spiritual Realm of Illusion.


    And Li Yuan? His Soul was still very weak.


    ¡°The Heart Illusion Flower, Dream Realm Stone and such treasures naturally possess effects of Illusory Realm transformation,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°With just a little induction, one can construct an Illusionary World for cultivation¡­ Even Nine Sounds True God doesn¡¯t have it, where do I find it?¡±


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    ¡°Should I temporarily give up cultivating the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯?¡± Li Yuan felt reluctant.


    He was well aware of the strength of this method; if he could cultivate it, his willpower would grow faster.


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not right!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a dream realm stone or any such treasured relic.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up: ¡°But I have another method, I must give it a try.¡±


    Whoosh~


    With a thought from Li Yuan, his spiritual consciousness had gathered in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, rapidly descending into that vast starry sky.


    The Great Sun still shone.


    ¡°In the cultivation of the Visualization Method, within the Great Sun, countless illusory realms evolve, and it equally evokes many desires in me, pointing directly at my true heart,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body stood in the void, his eyes flickering: ¡°I was so foolish.¡±


    ¡°To have forgotten.¡± sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan no longer hesitated, his consciousness body emitting a hazy, glazed light, swiftly approached the Great Sun.


    Wanting to verify what was in his mind.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    A magma fire serpent suddenly erupted, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body actively made contact, and at the same time, the method for cultivating the first realm of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ emerged in his mind.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness quickly became blurred, already entering into a layer of illusionary realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come on, let¡¯s take off.¡± A youth in casual attire was holding a four-or-five-year-old boy over his head, running in circles in the living room.


    ¡°Giggle, giggle! Flying in a plane,¡± the boy laughed joyously.


    ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t drop Li Yuan,¡± a young woman shouted from the kitchen while picking vegetables.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wife, I¡¯m a Martial Artist.¡± The youth in casual clothes laughed: ¡°Li Yuan, strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, okay? Then you can always fly.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The little boy chuckled blissfully, still unaware of what a Flying Heaven Warrior meant.


    ¡°Bro, Huichang and I are here, what delicious food has sister-in-law made? It smells so good!¡± Li Changzhou, in his early twenties, laughed as he walked in through the wide-open front door, carrying big and small bags.


    ¡°Changzhou is here, come on in, no need to bring anything,¡± the young woman quickly came out from the kitchen¡­


    The family was extremely warm¡­


    ¡°Dad, Mum¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness merged with his younger self, sensing vaguely.


    Some once vague memories, unnoticeably surfaced in his mind.


    Gradually, there was a tear in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    It was out of joy, yet this extremely warm scene could never return.


    ¡­


    During elementary school, after recovering from a serious illness, Li Yuan could finally start living and studying like a normal child.


    ¡°Haha, Li Yuan can run now.¡± Li Changzhou was extremely excited: ¡°Huichang, Li Yuan can finally run.¡±


    Li Yuan also felt immense joy in his heart.


    ¡­


    Scene by scene, continuously embodying realizations.


    Layer upon layer of illusionary realms endured continuously.


    A magma fire serpent suddenly erupted, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body actively made contact, and at the same time, the method for cultivating the first realm of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ emerged in his mind.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness quickly became blurred, already entering into a layer of illusionary realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come on, let¡¯s take off.¡± A youth in casual attire was holding a four-or-five-year-old boy over his head, running in circles in the living room.

    ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t drop Li Yuan,¡± a young woman shouted from the kitchen while picking vegetables.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wife, I¡¯m a Martial Artist.¡± The youth in casual clothes laughed: ¡°Li Yuan, strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, okay? Then you can always fly.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The little boy chuckled blissfully, still unaware of what a Flying Heaven Warrior meant.


    ¡°Bro, Huichang and I are here, what delicious food has sister-in-law made? It smells so good!¡± Li Changzhou, in his early twenties, laughed as he walked in through the wide-open front door, carrying big and small bags.


    ¡°Changzhou is here, come on in, no need to bring anything,¡± the young woman quickly came out from the kitchen¡­


    The family was extremely warm¡­


    ¡°Dad, Mum¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness merged with his younger self, sensing vaguely.


    Some once vague memories, unnoticeably surfaced in his mind.


    Gradually, there was a tear in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    It was out of joy, yet this extremely warm scene could never return.


    ¡­


    During elementary school, after recovering from a serious illness, Li Yuan could finally start living and studying like a normal child.


    ¡°Haha, Li Yuan can run now.¡± Li Changzhou was extremely excited: ¡°Huichang, Li Yuan can finally run.¡±


    Li Yuan also felt immense joy in his heart.


    ¡­


    Scene by scene, continuously embodying realizations.


    Layer upon layer of illusionary realms endured continuously.

 Chapter 810 - 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade

    Chapter 810: Chapter 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade


    Li Yuan did not obtain the Illusionary Realm Stone or the Heart Illusion Flower.


    ¡°The Six Realms of Illusion¡± has a detailed description of their effects, which led Li Yuan to compare them and feel that the Divine Palace¡¯s Great Day is better and more perfect.


    ¡°Without the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, if I tried to temper my heart directly with the Divine Palace¡¯s Great Day with no control, it would provoke many desires in my heart, making the difficulty of the illusionary realm uncontrollable¡­ leading me to the risk of getting lost.¡±


    ¡°But with the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, the higher levels of visualization contained in the Divine Palace¡¯s Great Day seem to be prepared by the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯,¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t sure if he should feel fortunate.


    His luck seemed to have gotten a bit better.


    ¡°Forget it.¡±


    ¡°Continue cultivating, before it was joy, now maybe I should try the illusionary realm of anger.¡± Li Yuan thought, and had once again entered the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    ¡°Little Yuan, no mother, can¡¯t run, big dummy.¡±


    ¡°Little Yuan, no mother¡­¡± A group of seven or eight-year-old children laughed wantonly, surrounding the weak-bodied little boy and shouting incessantly.


    Li Yuan carried a small backpack, clenched his little fists, eyes brimming with unshed tears, but he strived not to let them fall.


    But he did not want to cry out.


    He knew that if he cried, if he screamed, these annoying classmates would be even happier.


    He also dared not resist because he was weak and could not run.


    ¡°What are you all doing.¡± Suddenly a stern voice sounded, scaring the group of children away instantly.


    ¡°Little Yuan, it¡¯s okay, don¡¯t listen to their nonsense.¡± Auntie Chen Hui hurried over and embraced Li Yuan in her arms.


    ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m not stupid.¡± Li Yuan finally couldn¡¯t hold back and burst into tears.


    Feeling wronged, angry, a surge of emotions swept over him.


    ¡°You¡¯re not stupid; our Little Yuan is the smartest.¡± Chen Hui comforted him continuously: ¡°These classmates, I will call your teacher He later¡­¡±


    ¡­ In the classroom, after being criticized, a classmate immediately retorted, ¡°Li Yuan did it too before, why didn¡¯t you criticize him?¡±


    ¡­ On the internet forum, watching a favorite Martial Path practitioner self-reproach for not being able to save more people and being seriously injured, only to be slandered and defamed by a group of keyboard warriors¡­


    ¡­ In the classroom, listening to the teacher talk about the Feixing battle, upon seeing the slaughter footage and videos of the Myriad Demons Civilization invading Feixing, waves of anger surged within him¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, watching helplessly as Liu Jing rushed into the Flying Serpent Valley¡­


    During the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City, fighting side by side with his teacher Xu Bo for the first time, only to witness the teacher¡¯s life gradually approaching its end¡­


    Numerous past experiences related to ¡®anger¡¯ emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind at this moment.


    Anger, indignation, rage¡­ Hating that he was not strong enough.


    The illusionary realm constructed by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was too realistic.


    Almost perfectly replicating the various experiences Li Yuan had gone through, deeply immersed in the illusion, his emotions fluctuated intensely with each level of the realm.


    ¡°Joy, the many wonderful experiences in my life that make me cherish the world, are the most precious memories deep in the heart¡­ This life is to pursue more joy.¡±


    ¡°Anger, drives me to cultivate manically, the force behind life¡¯s evolution, simply because I refuse to let the many past regrets reoccur.¡± Li Yuan had an epiphany.


    The seven emotions and six desires are the sources of life.


    The aim of cultivating ¡°The Six Realms of Illusion¡± is not to strip away emotions but for cultivators to confront and control emotions, and then to harness the emotional power contained within the spirit, eventually forging the strongest will.


    ¡°Face joy and anger.¡±


    ¡°Chase after joy without being addicted to it, and not let anger control oneself.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual will also continually progressed and transformed under the sequential realms and cultivation of the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion.¡±


    However.


    It sounds easy to experience joy and anger, but controlling them truly is no overnight feat.


    Only through sufficient experiences can one achieve control.


    ¡­


    The Nine Sounds Realm¡¯s event concluded.


    But as the core of the vast land and a gathering place of divinities, various events in the Yuan Country Capital were endless, albeit no longer much related to Li Yuan.


    First on the Flying Heaven List, with Semi-Divine Peak strength and Divine Level will¡­ anyone with a bit of sense understood that the highest echelons of Yuan Country would definitely value him highly, even more so than Jiang Shan.


    Li Yuan was always quietly cultivating.


    When tired of cultivating his spiritual will, he would deduce Spear Technique to unravel the Mysteries of the Law.


    When he reached a bottleneck with Spear Technique, he continued to attempt awakening his Life Star.


    His will breakthrough also allowed Li Yuan to use more Jue Xing Divine Pills, accumulating over 210 in total, increasing the number of Unowned Life Stars in his Life Starry Sky, yet he was still unable to awaken the ninth Star Meridian.


    In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed, and the day to head to the Starry Sky Ancient City was getting closer.


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Continent, East Sea, where countless islands are scattered, along with many Floating Cities, and small worlds that have been developed.


    The majority of the East Sea is controlled by one of the Six Great Holy Lands, the ¡®East Nether Sacred Land.¡¯


    Black Blade Island. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Though called an island, it spans nearly ten million miles, an immensely vast area, inhabited by trillions of beings, and the entire island is ruled by the Black Blade Divine Kingdom.


    In the eastern part of the island, amidst the rolling clouds and mists, lies a city spanning thousands of kilometers, and above the clouds, the palatial Imperial Palace of the Divine Kingdom is filled with beautiful women, opulence beyond measure.


    Suddenly, the central palace burst forth with layers of light.


    ¡°The King.¡±


    ¡°The King has arrived.¡± All the servants and beautiful maidens in the Imperial Palace understood.

 Chapter 811 - 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_2

    Chapter 811: Chapter 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_2


    All those who come to the Imperial Palace are at least of Semi Divine Level. Among them, there are thousands of demigod beauties serving as the King¡¯s concubines, and an astonishing number of male favorites¡­


    ¡°Greetings to the King.¡± Respectful voices echoed throughout the entire Imperial Palace, especially within the central palace.


    ¡°King.¡± That group of Pseudo-God Level women, each incredibly seductive, possessing astounding enchantment abilities, now all respected him as humbly as servants.


    ¡°I have been focusing on my Cultivation recently, so I will spare you all. Dismissed.¡± A sinister youth, casually draped in a black robe, sat on a lofty throne, exuding quite a fierce aura.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The Pseudo-God Level serving concubines sighed in relief in their hearts.


    They were all clear on how cruel their King was¡­ Every time they served in his bed, even though they were all Pseudo-Gods, they would be ravaged to near death. As for those Semi-Divine outside the palace¡­ more than ninety percent would end up dead.


    Over the long years, within the territory of the Divine Kingdom, the number of demigod women who had died at the hands of the King had long exceeded ten thousand.


    Yet no one could resist.


    Because the King was among the most powerful in the ranks of True Gods, an influential figure throughout the entire Holy Land.


    What was the killing of a few demigods to him?


    Soon after, the palace full of Pseudo-God concubines left. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several figures flew into the palace.


    They were all Pseudo-Gods, but none dared to look around¡­ They were well aware of their King¡¯s temperament.


    ¡°King.¡± Four Pseudo-Gods respectfully saluted.


    ¡°I have secluded myself for over a year this time.¡± The Black Blade True God looked down at his subordinates, casually enjoying a cup of Immortal Brew and said indifferently, ¡°Report to me about the tasks I¡¯ve given you.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°King, about your order to acquire a variety of treasures, I have relayed the message to thousands of True Gods and tens of thousands of Pseudo-Gods in the Holy Land. Quite a few have come to trade, and a portion has already¡­¡± The first Pseudo-God reported his tasks.


    ¡°Not bad, speed up the process, complete it within five years,¡± Black Blade True God replied indifferently.


    He was purchasing treasures on such a large scale because it related to his own Cultivation.


    Soon, the first three True Gods completed their report.


    ¡°King, these are some of the important pieces of intelligence that have occurred on Jue Xing Continent in the past year or so.¡± A black-robed Pseudo-God reported respectfully, ¡°Changqing Ancient City is conducting large-scale selections for great talents, likely in preparation for the next Ancestral Realm War.¡±


    ¡°Western Region of the Continent, Ghost Shuttle True God and¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°In Heavenly Snake Ancient City, a new Flying Heaven level individual with the Heavenly Serpent Bloodline has emerged, reputedly entering ¡®Heavenly Snake Holy Realm¡¯ for Cultivation. Exact details are unknown,¡± reported the black-robed Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Bloodline? Disappeared for so many millennia, and now another one has surfaced?¡± Black Blade True God was stunned briefly before shaking his head, ¡°Never mind, that¡¯s for the Saint Lord to consider. That¡¯s another ancient city¡¯s worry, not ours. Next piece of intelligence.¡±


    Each piece of important intelligence could slightly influence the situation across the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    But after all, it had only been just over a year.


    ¡°King.¡±


    ¡°The Eastern Abyss Kingdom, which you instructed us to observe closely, has recently produced a peerless genius, probably of Saint Heir level,¡± said the black-robed Pseudo-God, ¡°We have collected detailed intelligence on him. He should be no more than fifty years old, a local of the Abyss Country, of Flying Heaven Level, yet already possesses Semi-Divine Peak strength¡­¡±


    ¡°This individual is called Xu Yuan and is currently the number one on the Divine Fire Palace¡¯s Flying Heaven List in the Abyss Country.¡±


    The black-robed Pseudo-God swiftly relayed information about Li Yuan.


    ¡°A Saint Heir level genius?¡±


    ¡°Under Jiang Yuan¡¯s command? Bullshit!!¡± Murderous intent flickered in Black Blade True God¡¯s eyes, ¡°He has ruled over Abyss Country for tens of thousands of years, and it¡¯s the first time such a level of genius has emerged.¡±


    On Jue Xing Continent, so-called Saint Heir level geniuses were those who would definitely become True Gods as long as they did not die.


    After all, most geniuses, like Jiang Shan, Wu Beihong and others, no one could guarantee they would become True Gods when they were of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Yes,¡± replied the black-robed Pseudo-God, ¡°In Jue Xing Ancient City, the number of Semi-Divine Saint Heirs has always varied between five and twenty¡­ On average, only about thirty Saint Heirs emerge every thousand years.¡±


    ¡°And judging from various intelligence, this Xu Yuan is among the stronger Saint Heir level geniuses. As per the intelligence assessment from the Holy Land, there¡¯s a more than ninety percent chance he will reach True God Peak¡­ A very small chance to Ascend to Heavenly God,¡± said the black-robed Pseudo-God.


    Each Holy Land has its own intelligence agency.


    As a core figure of East Nether Sacred Land, Black Blade True God naturally obtained a lot of free intel directly from the Holy Land.


    ¡°Such good fortune!¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Such a monstrous talent has emerged in his territory.¡± Black Blade True God¡¯s gaze was icy, ¡°This Xu Yuan, has he joined Jue Xing Ancient City?¡±


    ¡°Not yet,¡± replied the black-robed Pseudo-God, ¡°There is still over a month left until Jue Xing Ancient City opens its next round of recruitment for reserve members.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Black Blade True God¡¯s eyes brimmed with murderous intent, ¡°It¡¯s better that he hasn¡¯t joined yet.¡±


    He had a life-and-death feud with Jiang Yuan True God, and each yearned to kill the other¡­ Yet, since both were exceptionally powerful and belonged to different major powers, they had been unable to harm one another.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Originating from Abyss Country and highly regarded, he will definitely support that bastard Jiang Yuan to the fullest should he rise to power, and he will eventually become my enemy,¡± Black Blade True God mused with murderous intent, ¡°Why not take action before he joins Starry Sky Ancient City and strike first?¡±


    If Xu Yuan had already joined Starry Sky Ancient City, then Black Blade True God would hesitate.


    Because making a move would be a provocation of Starry Sky Ancient City.


    But if he hasn¡¯t joined yet? Even if he made a covert move, the Heavenly Divine of Starry Sky Ancient City would not go so far as to deal with him.


    ¡°Should I go in person? No!¡±


    ¡°If my presence is detected within Yuan Country Capital, I might not live to get out.¡± Black Blade True God contemplated.


    His strength was already significantly weaker than Jiang Yuan True God; entering the latter¡¯s stronghold would be extremely dangerous.

 Chapter 812 - 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_3

    Chapter 812: Chapter 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_3


    ¡°Seek help from other True Gods?¡± Various thoughts flashed through the mind of Black Blade True God.


    When a True God makes a move, theoretically they could kill Xu Yuan with one strike.


    However, any foreign True God entering the Yuan Country Capital would immediately attract attention, making it difficult to make a move.


    The key issue is, not many True Gods are willing to provoke Jiang Yuan True God, and those who dare to make a move would demand an extremely high price.


    ¡°Perhaps I should rely on Pseudo-Gods instead.¡± Black Blade True God made his decision, as he had many Pseudo-Gods under his command.


    ¡°A Pseudo-God, as long as they find the opportunity, can easily eliminate a minor of Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    Just an hour later.


    The Pseudo-Gods who had reported the information had left, but an old man shrouded in a gray robe, exuding a dense aura of dusk, arrived at the palace in the center of the Imperial Palace.


    ¡°Xing Chan, pays respects to the King.¡± The gray-robed elder bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Xing Chan, you have lived for over four thousand years, haven¡¯t you?¡± Black Blade True God looked down at the gray-robed elder.


    ¡°Reporting to the King, I have cultivated for over four thousand nine hundred years, and my lifespan limit is not far away,¡± the gray-robed elder said, ¡°The King has shown great kindness to me and helped me a lot, but to ascend from Pseudo-God to True God is indeed extremely difficult, I have disappointed you.¡±


    The path of cultivation gets harder the further one advances.


    For a Pseudo-God to break through to True God, they need to meet various requirements concerning the Law Comprehension, Star Meridian, Soul Will¡­ Among thousands of Pseudo-Gods, hardly one can break through to become a True God.


    ¡°You want to break through to become a True God, but I can no longer help you more,¡± Black Blade True God slowly said. ¡°However, I recall there¡¯s a youngster called ¡®Xing Ye¡¯ among your descendants, who has pretty good talent.¡± S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The King knows of Xing Ye?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God was astonished, numerous thoughts flashing through his mind.


    He was well aware that if the King suddenly summoned him, there must be a reason.


    ¡°I can help Xing Ye, help her secure a spot from the Holy Land in the ¡®You Dragon Realm¡¯,¡± Black Blade True God slowly stated.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God was startled.


    You Dragon Realm was a highly important treasure land in the East Nether Sacred Land, where ordinary Demigods cannot enter.


    Although Xing Ye Demigod was the best among his descendants, compared to countless demigods in the entire East Nether Sacred Land, she was quite inconspicuous.


    ¡°I wonder what the King wants me to do?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God calmed down.


    As a man near his death, what he most worried about was his descendants¡­ But for his family, it was too difficult to produce another Pseudo-God in a short time.


    Once he died, the entire family¡¯s status would rapidly decline.


    ¡°I want you to go to the Yuan Country Capital in the East Domain and kill a person named ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯,¡± Black Blade True God slowly said.


    ¡°Xu Yuan?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God was confused, he hadn¡¯t heard of him.


    ¡°This is the information about him.¡± Black Blade True God waved his hand, a surge of invisible fluctuations swept by, and a large amount of information had entered Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s mind.


    Quickly, Xing Chan Pseudo-God completely understood!


    ¡°In Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s stronghold.¡±


    ¡°To kill his most extraordinary genius?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s expression grew grave.


    That was the lair of a True God Limit Expert, known as an unmatched existence below the Heavenly Divine.


    In the Royal Capital, there were several True Gods.


    This mission was definitely a suicidal one.


    As long as he dared to make a move in Yuan Country Capital, his death would be certain¡­ If unlucky, he might even be captured alive, which would be worse than death.


    ¡°The choice is yours.¡±


    ¡°If you are willing, even if you fail and die, I will protect your descendants. If you succeed in killing Xu Yuan, I can promise to help Xing Ye become Pseudo-God,¡± Black Blade True God said indifferently, ¡°But if you are unwilling, then let¡¯s forget about it.¡±


    ¡°I will only give you one month.¡±


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s expression changed.


    From the East Sea to the Yuan Country, even if he could use the Transmission Array¡­ he would have to leave immediately.


    Black Blade True God did not press him, since persuading a Pseudo-God Peak to willingly face death was extremely difficult.


    But he knew Xing Chan Pseudo-God very well and was highly confident.


    After a moment.


    ¡°Alright!¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God spoke lowly: ¡°King, I am willing, and will do my best to kill Xu Yuan¡­ I just hope the King won¡¯t forget your promise.¡±


    He dared not make Black Blade True God swear by Law.


    He could only rely on the other¡¯s reputation.


    Fortunately, although Black Blade Divine acted domineering and oddly, he was quite trustworthy overall.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡± Black Blade True God said: ¡°Then proceed as quickly as possible¡­ Remember one thing, if Xu Yuan joins the Starry Sky Ancient City, our agreement will be voided, and you don¡¯t have to act anymore.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God respectfully said and quickly left. He still had some preparations to make.


    That day, Xing Chan Pseudo-God left Black Blade Island.


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Continent, it¡¯s too vast, including the East Nether Sacred Land, Jue Xing Ancient City territory didn¡¯t have a direct Transmission Array.


    After a full half-month.


    Yuan Country Capital.


    A white-robed youth passed through the normal gates and entered the inner part of Yuan Country Capital.


    ¡°A Demigod?¡±


    ¡°A Demigod, looking unfamiliar, the life breath is not recorded in the monitoring system, must be his first visit,¡± the two Pseudo-Gods of the monitoring Formation directly sensed the aura of the white-robed youth but didn¡¯t pay much attention.


    After all, Yuan Country Capital is an important convergence point on Jue Xing Continent, with many strong beings arriving year-round.


    Not to mention unfamiliar Demigods, even unfamiliar Pseudo-Gods were quite normal.


    The white-robed youth smoothly entered the city.


    ¡°Go to the outside of Divine Fire Palace, rent a cave dwelling.¡± A cold voice echoed in the mind of the white-robed youth.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God, was hiding inside a Cave Heaven Treasure carried by the white-robed youth.


    He was very cautious, even though he had not appeared in the East Domain for over a thousand years and had not clashed with the gods of Yuan Country, he still dared not directly enter Yuan Country Capital.


    If he were recognized as coming from Black Blade Divine Kingdom and killed on the spot, that would be truly unjust.

 Chapter 813 - 424 Hostility of the True God of Black Blade_4

    Chapter 813: Chapter 424 Hostility of the True God of Black Blade_4


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God, before entering the Jinyuan Kingdom¡¯s Capital, had already purchased intelligence through other channels, knowing that Li Yuan mostly stayed in the Divine Fire Palace.


    He would only occasionally go out.


    One day.


    Two days.


    Three days.


    ¡­At first, Xing Chan Pseudo-God was patient, but as days passed, he grew anxious: ¡°According to the intelligence, doesn¡¯t Xu Yuan often go to the Nine Sound Building?¡±


    ¡°Why is it that he is about to leave Jue Xing Ancient City, but still keeps staying in the residence inside the Divine Fire Palace?¡±


    ¡°I surely can¡¯t just barge into the Divine Fire Palace.¡±


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God was well aware that the Yuan Country Capital was enveloped by a grand formation, so the moment he took action, he would be detected¡­ there would only be one or two seconds of time.


    Therefore, only outside the Divine Fire Palace would there be an opportunity to assassinate.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡°I refuse to believe that in these last ten days, he will keep staying inside the Divine Fire Palace.¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God thought to himself: ¡°If there¡¯s really no opportunity¡­ I might as well give up.¡±


    Not assassinating, although it meant missing the chance to see another Pseudo-God born in his clan, he could also live for several more decades.


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Palace, inside Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    On an open ground.


    ¡°Whirl~¡± Li Yuan held an ordinary Demigod Level Long Spear, silently cultivating his Spear Technique.


    Reaching a realm like Li Yuan¡¯s, what the weapon was, didn¡¯t matter as much; what was important was Law Comprehension and application, thus, continually meditating and sensing the mysteries of the world could keep enhancing his cultivation.


    However, Li Yuan was used to practicing with a spear, hence, from time to time, he would practice his Spear Technique.


    Practicing spearmanship was Li Yuan¡¯s habit, and also helped him find more peace within.


    Not far away, Ren Qing stood there reverently, watching.


    Li Yuan never minded this.


    ¡°The master¡¯s Spear Technique is truly profound. Even though I can¡¯t feel intense Law Fluctuations or Origin Power fluctuations¡­ as the long spear moves, it feels like my soul is trembling.¡± Ren Qing quietly muttered to herself; she too had entered the Threshold of the Law.


    But compared to Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique, she knew what being a peerless genius meant.


    Yet, she didn¡¯t know that Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique now primarily involved the Space Law, and space itself is formless¡­ Ordinary demigods found it extremely hard to sense spatial fluctuations.


    Unless Li Yuan used strong Origin Power to induce spatial fluctuations, otherwise, demigods wouldn¡¯t notice them and would only feel that Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique was incredibly sharp and inscrutably profound.


    Gradually.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique changed slightly, the fierce moves subtly carried a thick essence, followed by an invisible Law Fluctuation enveloping him, then dispersing.


    ¡°The Law of Earth, finally advanced from the Initial to Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s lips curled into a smile.


    His own Spear Technique, was a fusion of three Great Daos, and now centered around the Mysteries of Space.


    However, with the breakthrough in the Law of Earth, if this comprehension could be perfectly integrated into his Spear Technique, it could also enhance the might of his spear further.


    ¡°Wind, Earth, Space, the comprehension of these three Great Daos break through respectively and then continuously merge into the Spear Technique, this makes the might of the Spear Technique stronger and stronger, and will ultimately let me comprehend the fifth style of the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The fourth style of the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯, in terms of the profundity of moves, is only at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God standard.


    If he could realize the fifth style, ¡®Divine Soldier¡¯s Intent¡¯, with this move, even among countless Pseudo-Gods, in terms of moves, he would not be considered weak. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Time passed, Li Yuan constantly perfected his Spear Technique.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Eh? Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God sends a message.¡± Li Yuan sensed a message from the Magical Treasure used for communication: ¡°Xu Yuan, the many treasures you ordered have been delivered more than ninety percent, the ¡®Void Illusory Rare Stone¡¯ has also been acquired, come quickly to the Nine Sound Building.¡±


    ¡°The goods have arrived? Finally, I can cultivate the ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, without much hesitation, he put away the long spear and instructed Ren Qing.


    Followed by a soaring leap, he left the Divine Fire Palace.

 Chapter 814 - 425 Assassination! Li Yuans Death Crisis

    Chapter 814: Chapter 425 Assassination! Li Yuan¡¯s Death Crisis


    Since meeting with the Nine Sounds True God, Li Yuan has established a connection with the Nine Sounds Building and has even had some exchanges with the Nine Sounds Building¡¯s master ¡®Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God.¡¯


    During these past two months in the Royal Capital,


    besides daily cultivation, Li Yuan has been asking the Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God to purchase some treasures, all of which are necessary for his next Star Technique cultivation.


    Li Yuan thinks clearly about the future; once he awakens the Nine Star Pulse and breaks through to become Semi-Divine, as the wielder of the Nine Star Pulse, his Origin Power will rapidly cultivate to level 42 or even 43. Furthermore, with some Origin Power entering his body¡­ he will swiftly meet the requirements to cultivate the Fourth Rank Nine Layer Star Technique.


    So, rather than seeking at the last moment, it is better to prepare now.


    The Nine Sounds Building, besides offering pleasure, also conducts various business transactions of buying and selling treasures, possessing astounding energy which far exceeds that of common shops.


    The most important point is that with Li Yuan¡¯s identity, the Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God dares not swindle him.


    ¡°I never expected that it would take the Nine Sounds Building more than a month to obtain the Void Illusory Rare Stone,¡± Li Yuan pondered internally.


    Of the five Nine Layer Star Techniques he cultivated, only ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± is a Seventh Layer Star Technique. Although its might is decent, it¡¯s far from comparable to the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Myriad Shadows Void.¡±


    And the key treasure needed to cultivate ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± is none other than the Void Illusory Rare Stone.


    In the Seven Star Civilization era, Li Yuan had once inquired with Dongfang Ji, who couldn¡¯t produce it.


    Until today.


    Finally, through the Nine Sounds Building, Li Yuan obtained it.


    ¡°It¡¯s also fortunate.¡±


    ¡°Jue Xing Continent was once a part of the Divine Realm, and many inheritances remain intact,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°The vast majority of treasure names are the same as in the Divine Realm, saving me much trouble.¡±


    If the names of the treasures were different, even if such treasures existed on Jue Xing Continent, Li Yuan might not have been able to purchase them.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan flew out of the Divine Fire Palace, following the streets, he directly headed towards the Nine Sounds Building.


    ¡°Young Master Li Yuan, going out again?¡± The two Semi-Divine Commanders at the door were still greeting Li Yuan.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded indifferently.


    Li Yuan had just flown tens of kilometers away from the Divine Fire Palace.


    A Semi-Divine in a white robe seemed to have just flown out from a certain cave dwelling, looking down in thought, he flew straight towards the direction of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Semi-Divine? Level 46?¡± Li Yuan scanned him briefly without paying much attention.


    During the previous times, Li Yuan was accustomed to shuttling through the city like this and had never encountered any danger, so his vigilance was naturally not strong, nor did he pay much attention to the occasional Flying Heaven Semi-Divines passing by on the streets.


    Like now, within a range of ten or more kilometers around Li Yuan, there were quite a few Flying Heaven Semi-Divines.


    Li Yuan simply thought that the white-robed Semi-Divine¡¯s destination just happened to overlap with his flight path.


    After all, according to the Sha Xi Pseudo-God and Jiang Shan, as long as Li Yuan did not leave the Yuan Country Capital, there would basically be no danger.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The distance between the two rapidly closed, from the original five to six kilometers, in the blink of an eye, it shrank to one kilometer.


    One kilometer is incredibly close for someone at the Pseudo-God Level. Even for a Semi-Divine expert, this is a very dangerous signal.


    Li Yuan subconsciously took another look at the other party.


    ¡°Hm? Something¡¯s wrong!¡± A hint of caution flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°I was clearly preparing to turn, slightly deviating from the direction, but his flight trajectory also instantly changed¡­ is he coming for me?¡±


    But this reaction seemed to be too late.


    Boom!


    The white-robed Semi-Divine¡¯s speed suddenly burst, like lightning, he charged towards Li Yuan.


    Before bursting his speed, in his palm, a nearly transparent crystal stone and a fiery red crystal sphere had already materialized.


    ¡°Snap~¡±


    ¡°Snap~¡± Both crystal stones shattered almost instantly, the first nearly transparent crystal stone dispersed a strange force as it broke, directly causing the surrounding void to start layering and condensing.


    And the moment the fiery red sphere shattered, it emitted terrifying crimson flames from within.


    ¡°Rumble!~¡± The violent force of the flames gathered and unified in an instant as the space condensed, turning into a fire dragon madly attacking Li Yuan.


    The power was terrifying.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s an issue.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Law Treasure.¡± Whether it was the two Semi-Divine guards of the Divine Fire Palace or some other passing Semi-Divine experts in the vicinity, they all sensed it instantly, their faces changing color.


    With their discerning eyes, they almost instantly judged that this was the power of a Law Treasure.


    That belongs to the terrifying force at the Pseudo-God Level. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s an assassination, targeting Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Law Treasure, any one of them has the might that can reach the Pseudo-God Level, killing a Flying Heaven Level like Xu Yuan would probably only take a moment,¡± the two Semi-Divine Commanders shivered with fear even tens of kilometers away, also feeling frantic: ¡°It can¡¯t be blocked, even a Semi-Divine Limit Expert facing such a level of attack also has a high chance of falling.¡±


    Too fast.


    Not to mention that the two Semi-Divines had no time to save, even if they were strong enough, they wouldn¡¯t be quick enough to save.


    The two of them could only instinctively cry out for help frantically.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The high-level prohibitions in the void had detected the rapid changes in the Heaven and Earth Origin Power below, immediately starting to act, but it always takes time.


    Most crucially, this layered condensation of the void was causing the operations of the Origin Power Array in that area to feel sluggish.


    Perhaps it was just a split second off, but this split second is the difference between life and death.


    It could be said.


    In this split second, the protective strength of the Formation in Yuan Country Capital could not save Li Yuan; it was all up to Li Yuan himself.


    ¡°It¡¯s an assassination!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s an explosive space-category Secret Treasure, causing a stasis in spatial fluctuations,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice, in an instant, sounded anxiously, ¡°Li Yuan! Run quickly! Affected by this Space Treasure, whether it¡¯s me trying to move you into the Ancient Divine Palace, or you trying to take anything out from your Storage Magical Treasure, it will take some time.¡±

 Chapter 815 - 425 Assassination! Li Yuans Death Crisis_2

    Chapter 815: Chapter 425 Assassination! Li Yuan¡¯s Death Crisis_2


    Two parties communicated via Divine Thought, speed extremely fast.


    ¡°I understand.¡± Li Yuan had already understood his own situation, whether it was taking out the Pseudo-God Puppet or escaping into the Ancient Divine Palace ¡­ he was a bit too late.


    Even taking out those two Law Treasures would slow things down.


    Because the opponent had used a Spatial Type Law Treasure, extremely rare, the abilities it contained were usually incredibly tricky.


    The ability of this Space Treasure was to make the space stagnate.


    ¡°If I could condense the True Intention of Space, I could instantly restore this area to normal, but my comprehension is not sufficient enough,¡± Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°I can only fight desperately now.¡±


    ¡°I must block it.¡±


    Boom!


    In fact, Li Yuan, who noticed the anomaly, had already burst out when the opponent¡¯s two Secret Treasures were just deployed.


    The measures to preserve his life had to be taken, and he himself also had to fight desperately.


    Li Yuan¡¯s body instantaneously became ten meters tall, becoming incredibly burly, and his body¡¯s Life Breath surged dramatically, followed by being fully enveloped in a thick earth-yellow Combat Armor.


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°Body of All Things¡±!


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± Nine Yellow Dragons roared, under the pouring surge of Origin Power, they immediately burst forth violently, followed by a hazy earth-yellow airflow centered on Li Yuan, striking towards all sides.


    Divine Artifact Nine Dragons Xuan Armor!


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±!


    ¡°Nine Shadows Clone!¡± Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! In the vast Domain, nine Li Yuans appeared simultaneously, each holding a dark red Divine Spear in their hands.


    Dark Star Divine Spear. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It is known that on normal days, the several Divine Artifacts that Li Yuan used, were all shrunk and carried closely on his person, just to prevent the critical moment, not having enough time to take them out from the Storage Magical Treasure.


    Li Yuan, bursting out in full force, created nine figures, each one as real as the next, their momentum overwhelming as the endless surging air currents converged, making the center of the street seem like a miniature star was formed, with Nine Dragons surging.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Nine Long Spears, one real and eight fake, the nine Li Yuans erupted simultaneously, displaying their strongest Spear Techniques, already colliding with that destructive fire power.


    ¡­


    Whoosh~ the young man in the white robe closely deployed two Secret Treasures simultaneously while also trying hard to bring the Xing Chan Pseudo-God out of the Cave Heaven Treasure.


    However, the Space Treasure affected Li Yuan and made it so that Li Yuan didn¡¯t even have time to take out the Pseudo-God Puppet and could only face the attack.


    Similarly, it also affected the Xing Chan Pseudo-God, who also needed some time to break free from the Cave Heaven Treasure.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan is a highly valued genius of Yuan Country, definitely highly treasured by them, absolutely possessing life-saving items.¡±


    ¡°If I reveal myself directly, maybe in that instant, he will hide inside the Cave Heaven Treasure or instantly take out some life-saving items, like Pseudo-God Puppets¡­ then it would be troublesome, as I don¡¯t have enough time,¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God thought through many plans.


    ¡°No matter how many treasures he has, or how high his talent, there is one thing he can¡¯t change, he is just at the Flying Heaven Level, his strength is limited.¡±


    ¡°The first target is to prevent him from taking out his life-saving items, this is the function of the Space Treasure¡­ This Space Treasure, bestowed by a True God, is of astonishing value.¡±


    ¡°Then order the Semi-Divine to deploy Fire System Law Treasures simultaneously, its might reaching the Pseudo-God Level, killing a Flying Heaven is easy.¡±


    ¡°Two great Secret Treasures, in theory, should be enough to kill him.¡±


    ¡°Myself, as usual for assassination¡­ If the first two fail, it¡¯s the last resort, for me to perform a Soul Attack,¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God had considered many possibilities.


    In reality.


    His tactics also worked, making Li Yuan unable to escape nor retrieve his life-saving items in time, only able to forcefully resist.


    But what the Xing Chan Pseudo-God overlooked was Li Yuan¡¯s strength!!


    ¡°What is that?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God sensed the outside world through Divine Sense, the moment before bursting out of the Cave Heaven Treasure, he sensed Li Yuan¡¯s sudden burst, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes: ¡°How is that possible!!¡±


    On the streets of the Royal Capital.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Heaven and Earth River paired with the Nine Great Yellow Dragons, after Li Yuan¡¯s Law of Earth Comprehension breakthrough, its power was stronger than before, but facing the violently raging Divine Fire Dragon, it was still directly shattered.


    Then.


    Deploying several Star Techniques and Divine Artifacts, Li Yuan, erupted with his full power, confronting the violently charging Divine Fire Dragon.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Eight clones almost instantly shattered, they each only had a small part of Li Yuan¡¯s strength, and this confusing effect was utterly useless against the Divine Fire Dragon.


    The opponent directly pounced towards Li Yuan.


    However, after being weakened slightly by the Domain and Shadow Clone methods, the might of the Divine Fire Dragon had diminished.


    ¡°Rumble!¡±


    The incredibly hot power of the Divine Fire Dragon, containing unbelievable might, causing even space to ripple slightly, directly charged towards Li Yuan.


    The impact of the Pseudo-God Level Secret Treasure, usually a Semi-Divine Peak expert would directly fall.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Almost like lightning, the Flame Divine Dragon collided with Li Yuan three times.


    The first collision almost knocked the long spear out of Li Yuan¡¯s hand, making him vomit fresh blood wildly and his body flew backward.


    During the second collision, Li Yuan¡¯s bones and muscles were already shattering layer by layer, and his whole body was almost becoming a bloody figure.


    By the third collision, both of Li Yuan¡¯s arms had explosively shattered, and under the terrifying impact, his internal organs were splitting layer by layer; he was nearly left half-crippled.


    He was completely outmatched.


    It should be noted, after realizing the fourth form of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± along with many powerful Star Techniques and Divine Artifacts, Li Yuan¡¯s head-on combat power had thoroughly surpassed the Semi-Divine Peak, stepping into the Semi-Divine Limit Level.


    All Things Divine Body, Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, both extremely adept at defense¡­ yet still incapable of withstanding the wild assault of a Law Treasure.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Even though the power of the Flame Divine Dragon had greatly diminished, it still contained fearsome might and once again roared as it charged.


    ¡°Am I going to die?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart filled with reluctance; he no longer had much strength to resist.


    At that moment.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    In the void between Li Yuan and the Flame Divine Dragon, an almost transparent Divine Sword appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted; he felt a terrifying threat emanating from the Divine Sword.


    It seemed as if the opponent only needed to exert a little force, and he would undoubtedly be dead.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Divine Sword suddenly moved; the space was cleaved as if it was a mirror, instantly splitting the wildly raging Flame Divine Dragon in half, followed by its complete annihilation.


    The Flame Divine Dragon, which previously had an imposing momentum, perished in an instant.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°I survived? Who is this?¡± Li Yuan saw clearly, the owner of the Divine Sword was an extremely blurred figure, as if hidden in another space.


    Divine!


    At least a Peak of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°From the moment I was attacked to burst out resistance against the assault of the Law Treasure, it wasn¡¯t even 0.3 seconds¡­ Even if a Pseudo-God sensed something, they couldn¡¯t have arrived so quickly,¡± Li Yuan thought rapidly, ¡°Unless¡­ he has always been guarding by my side, only then could he arrive so swiftly.¡±


    It should be noted, up till now, under the influence of the Space Treasure, even the Guardian Array of the Royal Capital had not yet descended.


    ¡°Divine?¡±


    ¡°Arrived so quickly?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God finally rushed out from the Grotto Heaven Treasure, his eyes filled with shock: ¡°Dammit! Dammit! A Flying Heaven Level, how could it withstand half of the assault from a Law Treasure? This must definitely have the strength of Semi-Divine Limit.¡±


    Flying Heaven Level, bursting out with the strength of Semi-Divine Limit? What kind of monstrous genius is this?


    But Xing Chan Pseudo-God had no time to ponder further.


    Because¡ª


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± that blurrily figured divine, already holding the nearly transparent Divine Sword, came striking over hazily.


    As if placed in another space, his movements were unpredictably strange.


    Before the sword arrived, the invisible fluctuations emitted by the sword alone caused the white-robed Semi-Divine to disintegrate into ash.


    Attacking directly at Xing Chan Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    ¡°Soul Attack!¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God gritted his teeth, knowing that physically killing Li Yuan was difficult, his gaze directly fell upon Li Yuan.


    Hum~ an invisible wave of soul fluctuation descended.


    A peak Pseudo-God expert skilled in soul attacks, premeditated a full-powered strike.


    This kind of close-range soul attack, not even a True God could block; Li Yuan had to endure it by himself.


    In the same instant.


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level, even if his soul will is strong, his soul can¡¯t possibly be at Pseudo-God level, it should just be very strong-willed¡­ I¡¯m not hoping to kill him, just to make him be caught off guard for a moment.¡±


    ¡°That would be enough.¡±


    ¡°Enough to kill him.¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God looked up, sensing that descending Divine Sword, his eyes showing a trace of madness: ¡°All of you go die! Explode! Explode! Explode for me!¡±


    Boom¡ª


    The heaven and earth shook, and the grey-robed Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s body instantly erupted with boundless flames, turning into a huge fireball, followed by an explosion like that of a miniature sun!!


    Sacrificial God Fire! Self-destruction!


    This was the last resort of a divine, using life as the cost, generally the mightiest move.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God, from the moment he entered the Yuan Country Capital, never intended to leave alive.

 Chapter 816 - 426: Survive

    Chapter 816: Chapter 426: Survive


    In the Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s plan.


    If Li Yuan had a Pseudo-God Puppet by his side, or a Pseudo-God bodyguard for protection, then, he would view the guard force and give up the assassination, or directly self-destruct to gamble with his life.


    If Li Yuan was alone, the plan was to first try to directly kill Li Yuan with two Secret Treasures, and if the Secret Treasure assault failed, then attempt to kill him with his own strength.


    However!


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God overlooked two things, first, Li Yuan¡¯s personal strength was far greater than he had imagined.


    Second, in addition to bestowing Li Yuan with a Pseudo-God Puppet, Jiang Yuan True God had also arranged for another extremely powerful Pseudo-God ¡®Shadow Demon Pseudo-God¡¯ to secretly protect Li Yuan, as a double layer of protection.


    And the Shadow Demon Pseudo-God had been hiding in the dark all along, even unbeknownst to Xing Chan Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, yet capable of unleashing such terrifying power, what an astonishing, peerless genius. No wonder such a formidable Pseudo-God would secretly protect him.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, I¡¯ve done my best.¡±


    ¡°I hope, this death-defying strike, can kill Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°I hope, Black Blade True God will do his best to take care of my family.¡± In the instant of self-destruction, the powerful soul of a Pseudo-God Level allowed Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s thoughts to momentarily pause, shining with many thoughts in the last moment of his life.


    It¡¯s just a pity, that he was doomed not to see the outcome.


    ¡­¡±Boom!¡± That terrifying soul fluctuation instantly invaded Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World.


    This soul fluctuation, like a sharp spike, brutally collided with Li Yuan¡¯s soul core.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God knew that Li Yuan had overcome the Nine Sounds Realm, his Spiritual Will much stronger than the vast majority of Semi-Divines.


    However, he judged based on Li Yuan merely being at Flying Heaven Level, and the exceedingly long time it took to traverse through the Nine Sounds Realm¡­ that Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Will should be equivalent to the threshold of a Pseudo-God.


    Normally speaking, Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s judgment wasn¡¯t wrong.


    But in the past two months, Li Yuan had been cultivating the ¡°Heart Illusion Six Realms¡±, and although he had not yet reached Perfection in the First Realm, his will had improved and reached level 55.


    In terms of the strength of will, Li Yuan was already close to many Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses.


    Coupled with an almost Pseudo-God soul, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Will was on par with a regular Pseudo-God.


    Moreover.


    Li Yuan also possessed the ¡®Thousand Heart Lotus Platform¡¯ guarding his soul, a supreme Pseudo-God Artifact, prepared specifically for Li Yuan¡¯s Flying Heaven Semi-Divine stage by Ancient Flame True God.


    ¡°Soul Attack?¡±


    ¡°A soul attack from a Peak of Pseudo-God, trying to shake me? What a joke.¡± Li Yuan instantly sensed it.


    It could be said that facing Pseudo-God powerhouses, what Li Yuan feared least was the other party launching a Soul Attack.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    Inside Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform rotated, its layers of lotus leaves spinning, easily weakening the strength of this soul attack by more than seventy percent.


    The remaining small portion of might that struck against Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Will did cause his soul to tremble, but still, it was resisted.


    It could be said, most Peak of Pseudo-God soul attacks, let alone annihilating Li Yuan, would find it very difficult to even affect him.


    But for Li Yuan, the biggest impact was not from the soul attack, but instead¡ªthe self-destruction!


    A self-destruction of a divine being unleashed might unrelated to Law Comprehension but related to the remaining Origin Power within the body, effectively letting one¡¯s lifetime of cultivated Origin Power explode completely in an instant.


    The might was boundless!


    Speaking slowly, in the instant Li Yuan blocked the soul attack, that overwhelming energy flood had already impacted in all directions.


    The first to bear the brunt was the Shadow Demon Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Self-destruction?¡±


    ¡°Not good! I can withstand it, but Xu Yuan is already severely injured, even just the aftermath could likely be unbearable for him.¡± A thought flashed through the mind of Shadow Demon Pseudo-God, whose mission was to protect Xu Yuan.


    His hand turned the divine sword fiercely toward the fiery energy flood, unleashing a terrifying collision instantly, obliterating a great deal of the impact¡¯s might.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Following that, the body of Shadow Demon Pseudo-God rapidly grew larger, becoming like a giant, with large amounts of black mist crazily spreading in all directions, instantly engulfing a vast area, including Li Yuan.


    Attempting to protect Li Yuan.


    The self-destructive impact was simply too fast. In a rush, the first approach was to use the weapon to consume as much might as possible, followed by unfolding a large Domain, which was the method Shadow Demon Pseudo-God could think of to protect Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    But the impact of a Peak of Pseudo-God self-destruction was so terrifying, and although Shadow Demon Pseudo-God was only impacted in one of the directions and he was trying his utmost to block it,


    The layers of black mist were still instantly starting to dissipate and dissolve in the face of the terrifying fiery flood.


    That surging fiery flood finally swept in all directions, also impacting towards Li Yuan. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Puppet.¡±


    ¡°Block it for me.¡±


    Li Yuan gritted his teeth, knowing all too well that just before, he had continuously been enduring the assault of Law Treasures, unable to channel them into the Ancient Divine Palace, and now this impact had come extremely quickly.


    Fortunately! Just as Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s attack tried to forcefully push outward, Li Yuan was also desperately trying to move his Pseudo-God Puppet outside¡­ in the instant Xing Chan Pseudo-God self-destructed.


    The Pseudo-God Puppet finally appeared.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Like a giant spider, the huge Pseudo-God Puppet instantly spread its eight limbs, two limbs firmly on the ground, like a mountain standing in front of Li Yuan.


    The other six limbs, however, swung dazzling blades of light in an instant, trying their best to resist the fiery impact.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    That terrifying shockwave finally arrived, firstly hitting the Pseudo-God Puppet¡¯s blades of light which weakened it layer by layer, and then again striking the colossal body of the Pseudo-God Puppet.


    The self-destructive might of Xing Chan Pseudo-God was almost at the Pseudo-God Limit, and even after being weakened multiple times, it remained close to the level of might of a Peak of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Despite its best efforts to resist, the Pseudo-God Puppet still struggled to keep its stance, its massive body toppling backwards in disarray, striking fiercely against Li Yuan¡¯s figure.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s body was jarred by the impact from the Pseudo-God Puppet, his body shivering violently, the parts that had just recovered were once again deeply cracked.


    Blood cascaded, bones snapped, and an abundance of fresh blood oozed from the ears, nose, mouth, and other organs, a truly horrifying sight.


    Fortunately.


    The self-destructive impact of the Pseudo-God Puppet had already weakened most of its might, leaving only a small part of it.


    Li Yuan, with difficulty, blocked the last of the impact¡¯s aftermath.


    He and the Pseudo-God Puppet finally both steadied themselves.


    ¡°Terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Did I survive?¡± A tinge of excitement surged in Li Yuan¡¯s heart as he had survived such a dreadful assassination attempt.


    Had his strength been slightly weaker.


    Had the Pseudo-God Puppet emerged from the Storage Magical Treasure a bit later.


    Had that mysterious Pseudo-God not arrived in time¡­ in any case, had any aspect been just a bit off, he likely would have fallen today.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Flames from other directions continued to spread in all directions, causing the earth to tremble wildly, enormous pavilions collapsing.


    Even the ground¡¯s incredibly tough rocks were shattered, countless pebbles scattering.


    A scene of utter devastation.


    Normally.


    The self-destruction of a Peak of Pseudo-God could envelope a range of over a thousand kilometers.


    However, this place was Yuan Country Capital, Origin Power Arrays spanned every area, and every building had formations and restrictions to greatly reduce the aftershock of the energy impact.


    At the same time.


    The Capital Array in the void was fully activated, strands of fiery red light descending, gushing from all around, striving to diminish the impact of the shockwaves.


    Eventually, the self-destruction merely affected an area of barely more than ten kilometers and gradually returned to tranquility.


    Whoosh!


    With a single thought from Li Yuan, he retracted the huge Pseudo-God Puppet in front of him back into the Storage Magical Treasure.


    The Pseudo-God Puppet was not easy to refine and its value was incredibly astonishing. Many civilizations and clans relied on it to endure for millions of years, such an item was indispensable.


    To flaunt it so carelessly?


    Such a treasured relic was far too eye-catching, likely to attract the covetous glances of some Pseudo-God Powerhouses.


    Moreover, such trump card measures.


    If constantly revealed, would lose their effectiveness as a trump card.


    An enemy would easily be able to take countermeasures the moment they decide to take action.


    The unknown is the most terrifying.


    ¡°Thank you, senior, for saving me.¡± Li Yuan bowed in gratitude, as without that Pseudo-God Powerhouse¡¯s rescue, he would have definitely died.


    Li Yuan also felt full of gratitude in his heart.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me who saved you.¡±


    ¡°It was you who saved yourself.¡± The voice of the Demon Shadow Pseudo-God was harsh and hoarse: ¡°To think a Flying Heaven Level¡­ could unleash Semi-Divine Limit strength, this is truly unheard of.¡±


    In regards to the strength Li Yuan revealed.


    The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God was quite astonished in his heart.


    ¡°Moreover, if you truly wish to give thanks, then thank the King.¡± The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God spoke in a low voice: ¡°I am here to protect you by the King¡¯s command. Not wishing to reveal the truth to you prematurely, to prevent complacency, I haven¡¯t shown myself until now¡­


    ¡°Therefore, I was far from you, and when I came to save you, I couldn¡¯t arrive instantly.¡± The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God explained patiently.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, understanding that no protective measure was absolutely foolproof.


    Most were reactive in approach.


    ¡°I will report to the King and swiftly clarify who is behind the assassination attempt. Presumably, there will be an explanation for you, and possibly compensation, given that the assassination is likely related to your identity.¡± The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God spoke: ¡°Now, I shall leave first.¡±


    Whoosh~


    The form of the Demon Shadow Pseudo-God became increasingly indistinct, disappearing swiftly like flowing water from Li Yuan¡¯s senses.


    ¡°Has he gone into hiding again?¡±


    ¡°He even kept it from Sister Gu You?¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed, his gaze sweeping in all directions.


    Then, Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, rapidly flying towards the Nine Sound Building.


    After a while.


    Bystanders from all around in the streets started to whisper about the great battle¡ªsuch a scene was rare for many Flying Heaven and even Pseudo-Gods.


    Some passersby even perished from the blast,


    ¡°So strong?¡±


    ¡°The end must have been a fierce battle between two Divines, but how could Xu Yuan, a mere Flying Heaven Level, survive such a terrifying aftermath of the explosion?¡±


    ¡°Can a Flying Heaven Level be this strong? To withstand a Law Treasure without perishing?¡± These onlookers, for the most part, had their own measure.


    Quickly.


    The news of Li Yuan being targeted for assassination by a Divine, along with the terrifying power he unleashed, spread at a startling speed throughout the Yuan Country Capital.

 Chapter 817 - 427 Threat! Three Months are Up

    Chapter 817: Chapter 427 Threat! Three Months are Up


    In the confrontation with Xing Chan, the Pseudo-God, Li Yuan suffered severe injuries, with even both arms being blown apart.


    But under the state of deploying the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, his Origin Power was comparable to that of a Demigod, and his vitality was incredibly strong; as time passed, the damage to his limbs quickly healed.


    By the time he reached the Nine Sound Building, he had already recovered to his original state.


    Only that the consumption of Origin Power was immense, and he needed a long time to refine Heaven and Earth Origin Power for his own use.


    Above the clouds of the Nine Sound Building, there lied another structure ¡®Shen Yin Building¡¯, and under normal circumstances, only Divines were qualified to be there.


    Like Jiang Shan, despite having the combat power of a Pseudo-God, he could not come here.


    But the Nine Sounds True God had specially ordered that Li Yuan could come here, just not bring anyone else.


    Outside the Shen Yin Building.


    ¡°Master Xu Yuan.¡± A lady in purple, the Qian Huan Pseudo-God, came forward with a slight smile.


    As a follower of the Nine Sounds True God, she knew from the order that Li Yuan held a high status in the heart of Nine Sounds True God, and naturally did not dare to neglect him.


    ¡°Qian Huan Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan also nodded slightly.


    ¡°Please, this way.¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God smiled and said, ¡°The treasures you need, I have mostly prepared them.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    At this moment.


    ¡°Louzhu! Louzhu!¡± A streak of light cut through the clouds, and a burly man came rushing over.


    He was about to speak when he saw Li Yuan beside him, his eyes widened: ¡°Xu Yuan? You¡¯re here?¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    ¡°How should you address him? Call him Master Xu Yuan.¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God frowned.


    ¡°Yes!¡± The burly man quickly complied, then said respectfully, ¡°Master Xu Yuan, this humble one pays his respects.¡±


    ¡°No matter.¡± Li Yuan said indifferently.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God frowned, knowing that if it were not an urgent matter, nobody would suddenly come to disturb her.


    The burly man glanced at Li Yuan before turning to Qian Huan Pseudo-God and seemed to communicate telepathically.


    In just a second, Qian Huan Pseudo-God¡¯s expression had changed, and with a wave of her hand, the burly man quickly retreated.


    ¡°Master Xu Yuan, you just encountered an assassination by a Divine?¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°My subordinate said, someone saw with their own eyes you blocking the attack of a Law Treasure¡­ revealing tremendous power.¡±


    ¡°Just now I indeed encountered an assassination.¡± Li Yuan nodded, not surprised that the news had spread so quickly.


    The Nine Sound Building, able to expand its business to such magnitude, naturally had astonishing channels for information.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, being able to withstand an attack by a Law Treasure with one¡¯s own power is terrifying. A Law Treasure, in the face of most Demigods, can achieve absolute annihilation,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God remarked with emotion, ¡°Many Semi-Divine Limit Experts might not be able to withstand it, yet you could block it.¡±


    Qian Huan Pseudo-God was indeed somewhat shaken by the news. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the other hand, she also guessed that the relationship with Nine Sounds True God must be good; the more exceptional Li Yuan was, the better it would naturally be for the entire Nine Sound Building in the future.


    ¡°I¡¯m flattered.¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°I only blocked part of the might, and then a Pseudo-God came to obliterate the Law Treasure¡­ otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I would have perished.¡±


    Li Yuan knew his limits; after entering Jue Xing Continent for a few months, although his Spear Technique had broken through, his foundation was significantly inferior to other Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    In terms of direct combat strength, he was on par with most Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    However, his greatest advantage was his Soul Will! In this aspect, he was far superior to other Demigods.


    In today¡¯s battle, if it were another Semi-Divine Limit Expert, they might have been directly killed at the soul level.


    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t be modest.¡±


    ¡°A Pseudo-God¡¯s assassination, even employing a Law Treasure¡­ just surviving while being only at Flying Heaven Level is enough to be proud of,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said with a smile, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t witnessed your feat in the Nine Sounds Realm, from afar, I am afraid I wouldn¡¯t believe it.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled and didn¡¯t argue further.


    Soon, Qian Huan Pseudo-God led Li Yuan into a Quiet Chamber within the Shen Yin Building.


    ¡°Master Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°These are the many treasures you entrusted me to purchase. Most of them have been acquired, but there are still a few treasures for which there is no news yet,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said, ¡°You may check them now.¡±


    Qian Huan Pseudo-God waved her hand, handing several Storage Treasures to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan did not take it lightly, with a thought, he had already taken several Storage Treasures into the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Sister, please check them carefully,¡± Li Yuan transmitted.


    Although Li Yuan knew the information about the treasures he needed, he had never actually seen them¡­ in terms of appraising treasures, naturally, Gu You was more impressive.


    After a while.


    ¡°Brother, it¡¯s mostly correct,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°¡±All Things Divine Body,¡± ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± required to cultivate to the Fourth Rank, all the treasures have been collected.¡±


    ¡°But for ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± and ¡°True Wind Star Meridian Solution¡± required to cultivate to the Fourth Rank, we have gathered most of it but still lack about twenty percent.¡±


    ¡°For ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± required to cultivate to the Third Rank, there¡¯s enough; to cultivate to the Fourth Rank, we still lack about thirty percent, here are the details¡­¡± Gu You directly transmitted a list to Li Yuan.


    Marking what was lacking among the various types of treasures, as well as the general prices of the acquired treasures in the Divine Realm.


    So that Li Yuan had a clear idea in his mind.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡°Qian Huan Pseudo-God, these treasures are indeed what I need,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Please give me a total price, I will take them all.¡±


    Previously, Li Yuan had left a deposit of 3000 Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Haha, of course, Master Xu Yuan is truly generous,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said with a laugh, ¡°I definitely won¡¯t ask for a high price, just give another 1000 Fangshen Crystals, and that will be enough.¡±


    ¡°4000 Fangshen Crystals?¡±


    Li Yuan paused, shaking his head, ¡°Qian Huan Pseudo-God, please charge the normal price, there¡¯s no need to deliberately offer me a favor. If it¡¯s like this, how could you continue running the Nine Sound Building?¡±


    Li Yuan was well aware that for a Nine Layer Star Technique, to cultivate from the Third Rank to the ultimate Fourth Rank, if one uses all the required types of treasures to expedite, it ranged from several hundred Fangshen Crystals to several thousand Fangshen Crystals.

 Chapter 818 - 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_2

    Chapter 818: Chapter 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_2


    Auxiliary Star Techniques like the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± require fewer treasures.


    And for abilities like the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan estimated that he would need nearly two thousand Fangshen Crystals to cultivate from the Third Rank to the peak of the Fourth Rank.


    Five schools with Nine Layer Star Technique.


    Even if three of the Star Techniques are lacking some treasures¡­ adding them all together, it definitely exceeds four thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Let¡¯s settle it this way.¡±


    ¡°A Pseudo-God of Illusions, for 5000 Fangshen Crystals,¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, ¡°I¡¯ll remember this favor in my heart.¡±


    ¡°But you also have costs in acquiring so many treasures¡­ I can¡¯t let you make a loss; otherwise, next time I won¡¯t feel comfortable asking you to help me purchase treasures again.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan flipped his hand and passed a Storage Treasure, containing two thousand Fangshen Crystals, to the Pseudo-God of Illusions.


    Seeing Li Yuan¡¯s seriousness, the Pseudo-God of Illusions could not help but give a wry smile and nodded, accepting the two thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    After chatting for a while, Li Yuan bid farewell.


    Standing on the pavilion, the Pseudo-God of Illusions watched Li Yuan vanish into the clouds with a sigh in his heart: ¡°Trying to owe a favor from this Mr. Xu Yuan is indeed difficult.¡±


    As a Peak Pseudo-God, she didn¡¯t care about one or two thousand crystals; if possible, she would even gladly give them all to Li Yuan for free.


    But clearly, Li Yuan did not want to owe her too much.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, yet capable of unleashing the power of a Demigod at its limit.¡± The Pseudo-God of Illusions pondered internally: ¡°Could it be that Xu Yuan¡¯s Law Comprehension has reached the standard of the ¡®Law Will¡¯ at the Eighth Stage?¡±


    ¡°No matter what.¡±


    ¡°Our Abyss Country has indeed produced an incredible genius,¡± the Pseudo-God of Illusions thought quietly: ¡°But it¡¯s unknown which True God is behind the assassination attempt on Li Yuan that even the Divine deities are willing to risk their lives.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s probably an enemy of the King.¡±


    Without a doubt.


    To employ a mighty Pseudo-God for an assassination, the one behind it must be extraordinary¡­


    ¡­


    Above the Yuan Country Capital, within the Imperial Palace.


    ¡°Demigod at its limit?¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God, looking at the information and the Combat Image delivered by the Shadow Pseudo-God, thought: ¡°And to be unaffected by a soul attack from a Peak Pseudo-God?¡±


    ¡°My little junior brother is even more powerful than I imagined,¡± thought Jiang Yuan True God to himself.


    He is quite the entity, looking across the entire Jue Xing Continent, there is no True God who dares to claim to be stronger than him.


    Even the Heavenly Divines are quite polite to him, almost all have acknowledged that he is the most likely candidate from the Jue Xing Continent to Ascend to Heavenly God.


    His vision is extremely high, and his ambition is equally vast, unwilling to be confined to this world.


    ¡°Every strength has its reasons.¡±


    ¡°Although Xu Yuan is of Eight Star Veins, after all, he¡¯s at the Flying Heaven Level, and his Spear Technique is at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God level¡­ True Divine Instrument? No! At most, he uses Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact.¡± Jiang Yuan True God analyzed quickly: ¡°Either, he has an exceptionally special Secret Treasure for protection.¡±


    ¡°Or, his Star Technique is particularly powerful, and he should have cultivated more than one Nine Layer Star Technique.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God speculated a little and then became certain of his conjecture in his heart.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Techniques, it¡¯s not easy to find ones that fit him, and yet, he could practice several, indeed not unworthy of being an unparalleled genius from the Chaos Divine Court,¡± Jiang Yuan True God thought.


    Instantly.


    A trace of murderous intent flickered in the eyes of Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°Hmph! You dare to come to my lair and attempt an assassination? Truly audacious!¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Jiang Yuan True God left the Temple and arrived in seconds at the location where the battle had occurred.


    A mess.


    A massive crater tens of kilometers in diameter, the previously tidy streets, bustling with many shops, have all turned to nothingness¡­ if not for the Formation that envelops the Royal Capital, the scope of destruction would have been far greater.


    ¡°Halt!¡±


    ¡°Reverse! Sense!¡± Jiang Yuan True God stood in the void, with even a significant number of the Yuan Country¡¯s Forbidden Army around, none could detect his presence.


    As if he were in a different layer of space.


    Whoosh~ An invisible fluctuation enveloped the area, and Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s gaze became misty as his vision completely changed¡­ in his eyes, the surrounding scenes were rapidly shifting. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As if time was reversing.


    The flow of time was retracing!


    Of course, this scene was only visible to Jiang Yuan True God, those Demigods nearby had no clue whatsoever.


    This spell, extremely difficult to cast, requires a True God with a high comprehension of Space Law, or to be a Heavenly God to perform¡­ and can only trace back a period of time at most.


    The longer one wants to trace back, the harder it becomes.


    For someone like Jiang Yuan True God, he can at most trace back a local area within a couple of days¡­ and that¡¯s without interference from other powerful beings distorting the space.


    If some powerful beings intentionally disrupt the spatial waves, tracing back becomes even more challenging.


    However.


    Li Yuan, Shadow Pseudo-God, Xing Chan Pseudo-God, in their battle, though appearing fierce, only caused slight ripples in the space, naturally not affecting Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s ability to cast this spell.


    ¡°Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~¡± Along with the casting of the spell, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s understanding of the cause and consequence of this battle became increasingly clear.


    Much clearer than a mere combat image.


    ¡°This Pseudo-God, his strength should be at the Peak of Pseudo-God,¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s gaze turned icy: ¡°The Law he is proficient in is¡­¡±


    Whoosh~


    Ten small, fist-sized red Crystal Stone orbs materialized before Jiang Yuan True God, followed by the orbs changing aura continuously, eventually stabilizing¡­ If Li Yuan and Shadow Pseudo-God were here, they would be shocked to discover that the soul aura of the Pseudo-God they encountered was identical to the aura emitted by these ten orbs.


    Simulating soul aura!!


    Appearance can change, attire can change, even combat weapons and moves can change¡­ but the soul aura is almost immutable.


    To trace the conspirator behind the scenes, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s first step is to figure out who the assassin is.


    Before long.


    A woman dressed in a light and soft purple gauze dress, seemingly like mist, appeared: ¡°My King.¡±

 Chapter 819 - 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_3

    Chapter 819: Chapter 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_3


    ¡°Nine Sound, I need you to do something for me.¡± Jiang Yuan True God pointed to ten crystal spheres and said, ¡°Find out who the owner of this soul aura is! First check the Pseudo-Gods under the command of True Gods Black Blade, Yue Chi¡­ follow the order and investigate the eight True Gods¡¯ Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God had many enemies, but hatred varied in degree.


    Logically, if it wasn¡¯t a vendetta unto death, there would be no direct assassination attempt on Li Yuan.


    ¡°This is the soul aura of an assassin sent to kill Xu Yuan; isn¡¯t the assassin dead?¡± Nine Sounds True God was surprised.


    She was aware that Li Yuan was assassinated.


    ¡°No need to ask further, just track it. Use the intelligence network of the Ancient City, the faster the better.¡± Jiang Yuan True God ordered.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Nine Sounds True God nodded.


    She was very aware of the importance Jiang Yuan True God placed on Li Yuan; now that Li Yuan had narrowly escaped death, Jiang Yuan True God must be extremely angry.


    ¡­


    East Sea, Black Blade Island.


    At the highest point of the imperial city, within that grand palace, the Black Blade True God sat on his towering throne.


    Around his throne, countless black mists were diffusing which upon closer look were not mist at all, but numerous tiny black blades, densely packed and fluttering like mist.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Black Blade True God opened his eyes, a hint of seriousness flashing through them: ¡°The Soul Lamp of Xing Chan has been extinguished?¡±


    The Pseudo-Gods under his command had all ignited their Soul Lamps, which barring very exceptional circumstances, there could only be one possibility for its extinguishment¡ªdeath.


    ¡°Xing Chan was sent to assassinate Xu Yuan. Based on the timing, he should have taken action.¡± Black Blade True God had a sliver of expectation: ¡°I had specially bestowed upon him a Space Treasure; as a Flying Heaven Level, he should be able to assassinate the target, I suppose.¡±


    ¡°If the assassination is successful, it would be the elimination of a great threat.¡±


    Thinking so.


    Black Blade True God immediately sent a message, using the intelligence network of the Holy Land, to find out the outcome of the assassination.


    While the news of Li Yuan being targeted for assassination spread extremely quickly, from the East Domain to the East Sea was very distant; the analysis and transmission of intelligence naturally took time.


    After half a day.


    Black Blade True God received a message from the intelligence network of the Holy Land: ¡°The unparalleled genius of Abyss Country, ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, faced an assassination attempt by a Pseudo-God. It is suspected he unleashed Semi-Divine Limit strength to survive¡­ The assassin died on the spot, and the identity of the perpetrator is yet to be determined.¡±


    Inside the palace.


    ¡°Useless!¡± Black Blade True God was instantly furious: ¡°Utterly useless, a Pseudo-God Peak yet failed to kill a Flying Heaven Level! A complete waste.¡±


    His roar echoed within the grand temple, causing a few Pseudo-Gods present to shiver in fear.


    This piece of news significantly worsened Black Blade True God¡¯s mood.


    It was bad enough the assassination failed.


    But the strength Li Yuan displayed was all the more irritating to him.


    ¡°According to whatever records are available within Abyss Country about Xu Yuan¡¯s life, he¡¯s only cultivated for less than forty years? And he is already so formidable?¡± Black Blade True God found this troublesome, his eyes flickering: ¡°If he were to cultivate normally, I fear that in one or two thousand years, he could reach the True God Peak.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps another Jiang Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He couldn¡¯t be killed.¡±


    ¡°Such a monstrous talent, now that he has experienced this assassination, he will be heavily protected from now on, till he joins Starry Sky Ancient City¡­¡± Black Blade True God shook his head, giving up any further thoughts of assassination.


    It was too difficult.


    And if it were just the first wave of assassination, it would be one thing, but if there were another attempt, probably even the Starry Sky Ancient City would not let it go.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Yuan that fool, must be going mad tracking it down now.¡± Black Blade True God sneered with disdain: ¡°Let him search! It¡¯s been nearly a thousand years since Xing Chan has made a move; I do not believe you can trace back to him.¡±


    ¡°Even if you somehow manage to find out, what can you do?¡±


    Yes, Xu Yuan was a threat.


    ¡°But as long as he doesn¡¯t become a Heavenly God, he is no threat to me.¡± Black Blade True God couldn¡¯t care less.


    ¡°Even if he finally becomes Heavenly God, worst case I¡¯ll just hide in the endless starry sky, it would be hard for him to find me.¡±


    ¡­


    As time passed, the news about this battle was rapidly spreading, even quickly going beyond Abyss Country¡¯s borders, with other major powers also collecting this intelligence.


    After all, a Pseudo-God Peak powerhouse had died because of it.


    The one targeted, was the newly famous Xu Yuan.


    Most importantly, the strength shown by Li Yuan was extremely rare among Flying Heaven Level across the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    ¡°Being Flying Heaven Level, to possess such strength, and still so young, his future is bound to be terrifying.¡±


    ¡°And no wonder he was targeted for assassination.¡±


    ¡°¡±¡±At least a True God Peak, and there¡¯s even a slight chance to Ascend to Heavenly Divine.¡± Many major forces truly began paying attention to Li Yuan, continuously collecting intelligence on him.


    ¡­


    Illusionary True Marquis Mansion.


    ¡°So powerful?¡± The palace-dressed lady, ¡®Illusionary True Marquis,¡¯ was shocked, then a trace of relief emerged: ¡°Ha ha, it was wise to back down back then. My son was decisive and smart enough.¡±


    Sometimes, capitulating quickly isn¡¯t necessarily bad.


    ¡­


    Some intelligence on Li Yuan had even been directly delivered to Jue Xing Ancient City, sparking quite a bit of debate.


    But none of these affected Li Yuan.


    Or rather, it was Jiang Yuan True God who was secretly protecting him, preventing those with ulterior motives from reaching Li Yuan.


    Within the quiet chamber of his mansion.


    ¡°Hu!¡±


    Li Yuan let out a long breath, revealing a slight smile: ¡°In six days, I¡¯ve finally cultivated the ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, the higher the cultivation level, the faster one can train in Star Techniques.¡±


    On the first day upon returning to the mansion from the Nine Sound Building, Li Yuan used some treasures he had prepared early on to cleanse away all the Third Rank Star Marks of the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ from his Star Meridian.


    Then, he began to cultivate ¡®Myriad Shadows Void.¡¯


    Had it been when he had just reached the Flying Heaven Level, this whole process would probably have cost Li Yuan several months¡­but now his realm was terrifyingly high, his Soul Will was stronger, and he sensed Life Star much more clearly.


    In the end, cleansing the Star Technique Star Marks and cultivating new Star Techniques took about eight days in total.


    With that.


    The five Star Techniques Li Yuan cultivated were all Nine Layer Star Techniques. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    There were no longer any weaknesses.


    ¡°Normally, a Seven Star Veins powerhouse would awaken two to three Nine Layer Star Veins, capable of cultivating three Nine Layer Star Techniques.¡± Li Yuan pondered: ¡°Among these three Star Techniques, there¡¯s usually one auxiliary cultivation Star Technique to grasp the Mysteries of the Law faster¡­ the remainder can be used to cultivate battle Nine Layer Star Techniques.¡±


    For an entity like Ancient Torch Divine, the only battle Nine Layer Star Technique was the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯


    And for an Eight Star Veins powerhouse, usually, they could awaken three to four Nine Layer Star Veins.


    ¡°This is also the reason why Domain-type Nine Layer Star Techniques and Escape Skill Nine Layer Star Techniques are rare.¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Fewer practitioners meant fewer powerful Star Techniques could be researched.


    The super powerhouses first choice in cultivating Nine Layer Star Techniques was Divine Body-type Star Techniques, followed by auxiliary cultivation Star Techniques.


    In the likes of Domain, Escape Skills, and other areas, they usually cultivate Seventh Layer Star Techniques in combination with Magical Treasures, which naturally pales in comparison to Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    ¡°Shua!¡±


    ¡°Shua!¡± ¡°Shua!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, dozens of Shadow Clones appeared silently within the quiet chamber.


    Each Clone emitted a genuine aura, ordinary Demigods might not even be able to distinguish real from fake.


    ¡°¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ is indeed much stronger than ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯.¡± Li Yuan reflected inwardly: ¡°In the future, if I can cultivate it to the Fourth Rank Limit, the gap will only widen.¡±


    ¡°Now.¡±


    ¡°I have mastered three battle Nine Layer Star Techniques, and once I step into Demigod, I will be able to cultivate another Star Technique.¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile: ¡°Then, I can further narrow the fundamental gap with Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    The benefits of having powerful Star Meridians were continually becoming evident.


    ¡°Continue training then.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, pondering over Spear Technique.


    Only two days left before he heads to the Starry Sky Ancient City.


    ¡­


    The two days whizzed by.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, come quickly to the Divine Fire Palace¡¯s main hall, get ready to set out.¡± Li Yuan received Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s transmission.


    ¡°Finally heading to the Starry Sky Ancient City?¡± Li Yuan stood up, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.


    Starry Sky Ancient City, the cultivation Holy Land of this world, with each generation having a Heavenly Divine sitting in, even if it couldn¡¯t keep up with the top major forces in the Divine Realm, it was comparable to powerful forces like the Heavenly Serpent Clan.


    Li Yuan was naturally filled with anticipation.


    After instructing Ren Qing with a few words, Li Yuan soared to the heavens and left the mansion, swiftly arriving at a palace in the center of the Divine Fire Palace.


    By the time he arrived, more than a dozen figures had already gathered in the hall, some were Flying Heaven Level, some were Demigods.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has arrived.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s Xu Yuan? Doesn¡¯t look like much.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡± The dozen or so people in the hall couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan.¡±¡±¡±

 Chapter 820 - 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths

    Chapter 820: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God flew out of the palace first, followed by fifteen Flying Heaven Level and ten Semi-Divine figures one after another.


    Li Yuan and Jiang Shan were in the lead.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, when you encountered the Divine assassination, Jiang Xuan and I were really sweating for you,¡± Jiang Shan communicated through psychic means, ¡°It¡¯s fortunate that you were safe in the end.¡±


    ¡°The main reason is that the King¡¯s rescue was timely, secretly dispatching a Pseudo-God for protection,¡± Li Yuan replied through psychic communication, ¡°Otherwise, how could I alone withstand the assassination of a Pseudo-God?¡±


    This was the truth; even with a Pseudo-God Puppet, it could only delay the inevitable slightly.


    ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Jiang Shan nodded, ¡°Your Law Comprehension is extremely high, reaching Pseudo-God Level¡­ but your foundation of strength is too weak. If you were to breakthrough to Semi-Divine, your power should rapidly surpass mine, and your self-preservation capabilities would be much stronger, with more means to deal with threats.¡±


    ¡°Origin Power Cultivation is the foundation.¡±


    ¡°Speaking of which, you should have already awakened the Eight Star Veins, right?¡± Jiang Shan communicated, ¡°Aren¡¯t you breaking through to Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush for the moment; I want to stay at Flying Heaven Level a bit longer, awakening my Life Star to its Limit,¡± Li Yuan spoke vaguely.


    Jiang Shan guessed that he had awakened the Eight Star Veins, and Li Yuan did not find it strange.


    In fact, according to the information transmitted by Qian Huan Pseudo-God, many major power information networks on the Jue Xing Continent now speculate that he has awakened the Eight Star Veins.


    Otherwise, how could he burst forth with Semi-Divine Limit strength?


    ¡°That¡¯s right, since you can¡¯t catch up with this Ancestral Realm battle, and you¡¯re still young, it won¡¯t matter if you break through late, ten or twenty years from now, it¡¯s better to solidify your Star Meridian foundation,¡± Jiang Shan said, ¡°After all, your Soul Will is strong, and your Law Comprehension speed won¡¯t be too slow.¡±


    ¡°By the way, have you found out who is behind the assassination?¡± Jiang Shan asked curiously.


    ¡°Not yet,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, after the assassination, Jiang Yuan True God only communicated with him that they were investigating.


    However, ten days had passed, and there was still no conclusion.


    Li Yuan did not have much expectation to begin with; first, the assassin Pseudo-God was clearly a dead soldier, likely having assumed a false identity. With his body destroyed, it was extremely difficult to find out amongst the many Divines on the Jue Xing Continent.


    Second, even if they found out, what then? If the other party dared to make a move, they would not fear being discovered. With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, he didn¡¯t have the capability to kill in retaliation.


    In this way, Li Yuan and Jiang Shan continued to exchange psychic messages as they followed in flight.


    Before long. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The group of several dozen people had arrived at a northern district of Yuan Country Capital.


    There, an astonishingly expansive series of towering tower-like Transmission Arrays were erected¡­ there were no less than eighteen Transmission Arrays.


    Seventeen of those Transmission Arrays led to the Royal Capitals of the other core Divine Kingdoms in the East Domain.


    The tallest and most imposing Transmission Array, however, led to one of the continent¡¯s Holy Lands for Cultivation¡ªthe Jue Xing Ancient City.


    It could be said.


    The Yuan Country Capital is a core locus of the East Domain, where a large number of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine beings and even Divines teleport daily from other Divine Kingdoms to the Yuan Country Capital.


    There was a constant stream of arrivals and departures.


    Just the fees collected for teleportation were astonishing indeed.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Above the eighteen Transmission Arrays, large numbers of soldiers clothed in Black Armor patrolled¡­ they were the Black Abyss Guard, one of the mightiest military forces of Yuan Country.


    Formal members of the Black Abyss Guard were at least at Semi-Divine Middle Rank, and those guarding here amounted to over a thousand¡­ furthermore, there were many Divines secretly guarding the Transmission Arrays.


    ¡°Transmission Arrays?¡± A hint of curiosity flitted through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Space Transmission Arrays could only be laid down by Heavenly Divines with extreme comprehension of Space Law.


    Li Yuan had read about them before, but this was the first time he was seeing one in person.


    They followed Sha Xi Pseudo-God directly towards the deep end where the towering Transmission Array was located.


    ¡°Who are these people?¡±


    ¡°There was also a team before this.¡±


    ¡°They are going to ride the Ancient City Transmission Array?¡± Many Black Abyss Guards watched curiously at this scene.


    Teleportation between different Divine Kingdoms was frequent.


    But the Transmission Array leading to Jue Xing Ancient City was activated far less often, sometimes not even once a day.


    Yet in recent days, there had been quite a few teams like this.


    ¡°Stupid!¡±


    ¡°Are you new here? The one in Silver Armor is Jiang Shan, and the other in black clothes is Xu Yuan,¡± another of the Black Abyss Guard glanced over, ¡°Have some discernment.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re likely going to Jue Xing Ancient City for special training and cultivation.¡±


    ¡°The Jue Xing Ancient City is comprised of Divines, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Some more well-informed Black Abyss Guards mentioned, ¡°Reportedly, the top ten Flying Heaven Semi-Divine geniuses from Divine Fire Palace are qualified to go to Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°These days, it¡¯s not just our Divine Kingdom, but some top talents from other weaker Divine Kingdoms have also been sending teams to our Yuan Country Capital, taking Transmission Arrays to the Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Top ten in Divine Fire Palace?¡±


    ¡°What freaks of nature.¡±


    ¡°The ones in the top ten of the Semi-Divine List likely boast power comparably to Pseudo-Gods,¡± these Black Abyss Guards muttered to themselves.


    In terms of power and status, they were superior to many Semi-Divines outside¡­ but compared to the Divine Fire Palace¡¯s geniuses, they were nothing.


    At that moment.


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God had led Li Yuan and the others into the Space Transmission Array.


    Soon the Transmission Array flashed with a sky-piercing radiance.


    Whoosh!


    The inside of the Transmission Array became empty, clearly indicating that Li Yuan and the others had reached a distant land.

    The Jue Xing Ancient City is the true core of Jue Xing Continent, ranked number one among the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, gathering the continent¡¯s most top-notch powerhouses, the largest number of treasures, and the best external Cultivation environments.


    Even though Yuan Country was already formidable, with thousands of Divines year-round, it was still far from comparable to Jue Xing Ancient City.


    The most important point.


    Jue Xing Ancient City is a Holy Land for Cultivation¡­ those who can come here are either talented individuals or powerhouses.

    Chapter 821: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths_2


    Within a vast canyon stood tower-shaped transmission arrays, one after another¡­ Suddenly, one transmission array flickered with light, and immediately afterward, dozens of people flew out of the transmission array.


    ¡°This is Jue Xing Ancient City? Why is it a canyon? There¡¯s hardly anyone around.¡±


    ¡°In the sky, there are divine guards.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not quite what I imagined.¡± Jiang Xuan, Li Yuan, and other Flying Heaven Level cultivators all looked around curiously.


    Suspended in the void was a black warship with more than a dozen figures wearing black armor, resembling soldiers, all with rather indifferent expressions.


    At first glance, they seemed like ordinary soldiers, but the aura they emitted made Jiang Xuan and the others at the Flying Heaven Level feel a chill in their spines.


    Divine!!


    ¡°Warship? Soldiers? Pseudo-God?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat because he immediately thought of the first time he received the ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ on Martial Divine Mountain.


    In that divine mark, a similar scene existed.


    Divine as soldiers!


    ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City, worthy of being the biggest force on the Jue Xing Continent.¡± Li Yuan thought of many things: ¡°The Martial God Inheritance is the ¡®All Gods Inheritance Cave Dwelling¡¯, which was obtained by Dongfang Alliance Leader from Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡­ Dongfang Alliance Leader and the principal are unlikely from the Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°But their experiences should have something in common with mine.¡±


    Those at the Flying Heaven Level were all visiting for the first time and were quite curious.


    However, Baili Teng, Jiang Shan, and about ten other Semi Divine Level cultivators appeared much more composed; most of them had already visited Jue Xing Ancient City during their time at the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°So many transmission arrays?¡± Li Yuan looked towards the back and was secretly shocked: ¡°Over sixty transmission arrays?¡±


    The number was too many.


    ¡°Xu Yuan brother, don¡¯t be surprised.¡± Jiang Shan whispered, ¡°These transmission arrays, eighteen are through the core Divine Kingdoms¡­ The other arrays lead to treasures controlled by Jue Xing Ancient City, all containing great opportunities.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    In the East Domain, out of eight hundred Divine Kingdoms, most have not established transmission arrays¡­ but they have built them towards certain treasured lands instead.


    It is enough to show that in the eyes of Jue Xing Ancient City, the importance of many treasured lands is even greater than those of ordinary Divine Kingdoms.


    ¡°All these are just what is apparent. It is said that there are secret places that only core members can access.¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile: ¡°Baili and I only stayed outside the city for five years when we were younger¡­ We never entered the city, all is what we heard from others.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan brother, you have the potential to become a reserve member as a Saint Heir. Saint Heirs are also core members; maybe you will get to know them.¡± Jiang Shan said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡± Li Yuan laughed softly, but his mind was pondering.


    Outside the city?


    Inside the city?


    ¡°Very soon, you will see the most magnificent city in the world.¡± Jiang Shan smiled mysteriously again.


    At this time, Sha Xi Pseudo-God had flown towards the black warship in the void. It seemed that he had finished communicating with the Pseudo-God soldiers guarding the ship and now returned to the front of the group.


    ¡°We have already arrived at the ¡®Jue Xing World¡¯.¡±


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s gaze was sharp, seemingly giving a remarkable pressure, sweeping over everyone present: ¡°We are about to reach the Trial Land, so I will remind you once again.¡±


    Aside from Li Yuan and Jiang Shan whose Soul Wills are strong, the others all felt a bit intimidated!


    ¡°Ten Semi-Divine, most of you have been to Jue Xing Ancient City before¡­ you know the rules.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s voice stated: ¡°The Divine Kingdoms can give you up to three chances, and some of you are on your third chance. If you fail the trial again, you can only wait to become Pseudo-God before you have the chance to become ¡®Jue Xing Guard¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Only upon becoming a True God can you become a formal member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°But as Jue Xing Guards, you are the bottom layer of Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ with much fewer opportunities¡­ Your chances of becoming True God will be very, very low.¡±


    ¡°Among the ten of you, only Jiang Shan and Wu Beihong are absolutely confident they can pass the trial, but you must not be complacent.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, do your best,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said solemnly.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The ten Semi-Divine all felt the pressure.


    Li Yuan, Jiang Xuan, and the other Flying Heaven Level cultivators also stood quietly on the side and listened. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    According to what Li Yuan heard from Jiang Shan, within Jue Xing Ancient City, below the Divine, there are three major levels: ¡®Outer Members, Reserve Members, Core Saint Heir¡¯.


    The Divine ones are categorized into Jue Xing Guard, Official Members, Core Members, and generally only True Gods are Core Members.


    Among them, Reserve Members have a slightly higher status than Jue Xing Guards.


    Saint Heirs have a status equivalent to True God level Core Members.


    ¡°As for the fifteen of you.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God then looked at Li Yuan and the group of Flying Heaven Level cultivators, indifferently saying: ¡°Aside from Xu Yuan, the fourteen of you have not the slightest chance of becoming Reserve Members.¡±


    Instantly, the group of Flying Heaven Level cultivators felt their morale drop.


    But they also understood that it was much harder for Flying Heaven Level to become Reserve Members than it was for Semi-Divine Level.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°The King has high hopes for you, and the Divine Kingdom is also full of expectations for you.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s voice became much gentler: ¡°Today, for the first battle, you do your utmost. Whether you can break into the top ten, or even become a Saint Heir, is up to your determination and performance.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Among the Semi-Divine Reserve Members, the very top can be granted the title of ¡®Saint Heir¡¯.


    It is the same for Flying Heaven Level Reserve Members.


    ¡°Listening to Sha Xi Pseudo-God, there must be Flying Heaven Level cultivators within Jue Xing Ancient City with strength comparable to mine?¡± The thought flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Regardless, I¡¯ll do my utmost.¡±


    ¡°Top ten? Saint Heir?¡±


    ¡°I want to see for myself, what kind of Flying Heaven Level cultivators could be stronger than me,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Perhaps, in the Divine Realm¡¯s Chaos Divine Court, over the long years, some terrifyingly exceptional monstrosities that could erupt with Pseudo-God Level strength while at Flying Heaven Level could be born.


    But Li Yuan didn¡¯t think it was likely that the Jue Xing Continent had such monstrous talents at this moment.

 Chapter 822 - 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths_3

    Chapter 822: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths_3


    Hoo!


    With a wave of Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s hand, an invisible force whisked them, dozens of people, out of the canyon.


    Once they flew out of the canyon.


    ¡°What is that?¡± Including Li Yuan, the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine who came to Jue Xing Realm for the first time were all stunned at this moment.


    At the end of the land within their view was an endlessly majestic city.


    The city seemed like a screen between heaven and earth, spanning thousands of kilometers in height.


    It was too high.


    Much larger than normal stars, surpassing any man-made structure Li Yuan had ever seen¡­ Even the God Level Mothership brought by Qiu Bingzun could not match it; it seemed minuscule compared to this city.


    The city walls stretched continuously to both sides, and space faintly twisted, making it impossible for them to see the end of the city.


    Magnificent!


    At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood Jiang Shan¡¯s words, this truly hailed as the most magnificent city in Jue Xing Continent.


    ¡°It¡¯s Starry Sky Ancient City!¡±


    ¡°Brother, it indeed is Starry Sky Ancient City, no doubt.¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly arose with a hint of excitement: ¡°This Starry Sky Ancient City, identical to the one in the Divine Realm¡­ it has endured for hundreds of millions of years, and not even battles among Heavenly Divines could damage it, it was specially forged by the Starry Sky Divine Court, its might is boundless!¡±


    ¡°One Starry Sky Ancient City represents tremendous might,¡± sighed Gu You.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had heard about it from Gu You before¡­ many dwellings of Heavenly Divines, in terms of Defense, cannot compare to Starry Sky Ancient City.


    Except for that endless and majestic Jue Xing Ancient City.


    On the boundless land outside the city, there were also quite a few Floating Cities¡­ These cities were also thousands of kilometers in size, also qualifying as mega-cities, but they appeared inconspicuous next to Starry Sky Ancient City.


    ¡°Stop looking.¡±


    ¡°If you can become Reserve Members, you can enter Jue Xing Ancient City.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God spoke indifferently: ¡°Otherwise, just look from the outside.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Many Flying Heaven Semi-Divine respectfully replied, their hearts filled with fighting spirit.


    They all knew.


    Jue Xing Ancient City, was the supreme place for cultivation between heaven and earth.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God led dozens of people, swiftly flying towards a Floating City in the void.


    Actually.


    In the depths of Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s eyes, a faint hint of envy flashed: ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ what a pity!¡±


    He, back then, had not been able to become a ¡®Reserve Member¡¯ of Jue Xing Ancient City. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Nor did he wish to become a guard of Jue Xing, constantly ordered around; where would be as pleasant as holding a high position in a Divine Kingdom?


    ¡­


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God led the team, capable of flying tens of kilometers in a second, and within a few minutes, they had arrived inside that Floating City.


    At the center of the city was a super large plaza, where there were already up to thousands of flying Heaven Level, Semi Divine Level, divided into waiting teams.


    These thousands of people all had very distinct symbols on their chests, with each team¡¯s symbol being the same.


    Clearly grouped by ¡®Divine Kingdom¡¯ as a unit.


    ¡°You go down first and patiently wait,¡± said Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Jiang Shan, Li Yuan immediately flew towards the plaza, randomly selected a spot and landed.


    The moment they landed.


    ¡°Hum~¡± ¡°Hum~¡± A wave of invisible force swept past, and in front of the chests of Jiang Shan, Li Yuan, badges condensed and formed.


    Engraved on them was an ancient character ¡®Yuan.¡¯


    Swoosh!


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God soared into the sky, entering the clouds aloft.


    ¡°So many Divine beings.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look upwards, there seemed to be a viewing platform in the clouds, many partially visible figures, probably the Pseudo-Gods leading the teams.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Abyss Country team.¡±


    ¡°One of the eighteen core Divine Kingdoms, no wonder there are so many people.¡±


    ¡°Our Divine Kingdom, a total of only ten people allowed.¡±


    ¡°Abyss Country! Who is Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°It seems to be that young man in black garment, it is said he can unleash Semi-Divine Limit strength, likely to vie for the Saint Heir position, at least entering the top ten.¡±


    ¡°Really? He hasn¡¯t even commenced cultivation in Jue Xing Ancient City, and he can vie for the Saint Heir position?¡±


    ¡°Uncertain.¡± The teams around Abyss Country immediately started discussing, and their topic of discussion was mostly about Li Yuan; even Jiang Shan wasn¡¯t mentioned.


    Clearly.


    Looking at the many Divine Kingdoms, Jiang Shan, although also extremely strong among Semi-Divines, he wasn¡¯t one of the strongest.


    But Li Yuan, even among a gathering place of geniuses from hundreds of Divine Kingdoms, remained at the top among the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Jiang Shan, look.¡± Wu Beihong¡¯s voice carried a hint of mockery: ¡°So what if you¡¯re number one on the Semi-Divine List within our Divine Kingdom? Here, doesn¡¯t someone even recognize you?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as if they recognize you,¡± Jiang Shan glanced at him: ¡°My brother Xu Yuan is so famous, I can only be happy for him, naturally not jealous like you.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Irony!¡± scoffed Wu Beihong.


    ¡­


    In the high skies of the plaza, on that small viewing platform, hundreds of Pseudo-Gods had also gathered, chatting casually.


    Swoosh!


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God flew into the viewing platform, immediately attracting the attention of many Pseudo-Gods.


    ¡°Sha Xi is here.¡±


    ¡°Sha Xi, long time no see.¡± Many Pseudo-Gods greeted Sha Xi Pseudo-God warmly, all extremely enthusiastic.


    Instantly, Sha Xi Pseudo-God became a prominent figure among hundreds of Pseudo-Gods.


    Firstly, as Sha Xi Pseudo-God represented ¡®Jiang Yuan True God¡¯, his status was naturally not something ordinary Pseudo-God leaders could compete with.


    Secondly, it was also because in the Abyss Country team, there was Li Yuan, an exceptional rarity.


    ¡°Sha Xi, I heard that Xu Yuan has Semi-Divine Limit strength, isn¡¯t he capable of directly challenging for the Saint Heir position?¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, only three Saint Heir spots.¡±


    ¡°If he successfully challenges, that would be legendary.¡±

 Chapter 823 - 823 428 Jue Xing Realm Two Paths_4

    ?Chapter 823: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths_4 Chapter 823: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths_4 ¡°I heard that Xu Yuan has been cultivating for less than forty years. What a monster! He¡¯s probably going to be admitted under the Heavenly Divine Gate.¡± These Pseudo-Gods were chatting freely.


    Most of them were responsible for nurturing the young talents in their respective Divine Kingdoms, naturally very well-informed about such matters.


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°Your praises are too much.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God chuckled: ¡°Xu Yuan is indeed a genius carefully nurtured by the King, but after all, he¡¯s still young. It would be a success if he could break into the top ten this time¡­ To become a Flying Heaven Saint Heir, he probably needs to wait a few more years.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be modest.¡±


    ¡°Tell Xu Yuan that he must challenge the Saint Heir! Haha, otherwise, this trial assessment would be too boring.¡±


    For this group of Pseudo-Gods, they would lead a team to Jue Xing Ancient City every twenty years.


    This kind of talent selection is very important to Flying Heaven Semi-Divine, but it¡¯s just a ¡®job¡¯ for them.


    Naturally, they¡¯d hope for something different.


    ¡°That depends on Xu Yuan.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s response was vague; he was not sure how Li Yuan would act.


    After all, for a top-tier talent like Li Yuan who was destined to become a True God, a Pseudo-God like him did not dare to offer much guidance.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    One Divine Kingdom team after another arrived, and several hours later, the square had already gathered over ten thousand Flying Heaven Semi-Divine.


    ¡°More than twelve hundred teams?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised, his Divine Sense could easily inquire into the entire scene.


    The East Domain boasts eight hundred Divine Kingdoms, even if there are some discrepancies, the difference should not be this big.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised.¡±


    ¡°Besides the eight hundred Divine Kingdoms of the East Domain, Jue Xing Ancient City also has some territories in other areas.¡± Jiang Shan smiled: ¡°Like the Starry Sky outside, there are millions of Life Stars. Although each Life Star births few strong individuals¡­ the cumulative number is still quite astonishing, and naturally, some talents will be born.¡±


    ¡°Um.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Finally, when the number of teams exceeded thirteen hundred.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    A wave of invisible fluctuation suddenly swept over the entire square, and the bustling square instantly quietened down.


    A moment of silence.


    ¡°Boom!¡± An invisible pressure enveloped the heaven and earth, the faces of the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine in the square changed involuntarily, with many at the Flying Heaven Level trembling, clearly struggling to bear this terrifying pressure.


    Hoo!


    Silently, a tall figure in red Combat Armor appeared in the void, and the destructive aura he exuded caused even a powerful Semi Divine like Jiang Shan to gasp.


    A True God!


    Li Yuan¡¯s face also changed slightly, feeling that the aura of this Red-armored Divine being seemed even more terrifying than that of Jiang Yuan True God.


    Of course, Li Yuan also knew that it was because Jiang Yuan True God had fully concealed his aura when facing him.


    ¡°I, the Hall Master of ¡®Divine Fire Hall¡¯ in Jue Xing Ancient City.¡± The towering figure in red armor said in a thunderous voice: ¡°You may call me ¡®Chi Yang¡¯.¡±


    Chi Yan True God! S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I am very pleased.¡±


    ¡°Today, the total number of Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine that have come to the Jue Xing Realm has exceeded fifteen thousand.¡± Chi Yang True God spoke slowly: ¡°Among them, there are about nine thousand at the Flying Heaven Level, and about six thousand at the Semi Divine Level.¡±


    ¡°First, we will carry out the assessment for the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°You have two choices, first, to participate in the trial pathway, and as long as the evaluation Points reach 80, you can become a Flying Heaven Level Reserve Member.¡± Chi Yang True God continued slowly: ¡°If you fail, then you¡¯ll train in the Trial Camp for five years. If you still cannot pass through the trial pathway after five years¡­ return to the Divine Kingdom.¡±


    Everyone listened quietly.


    These rules, almost everyone knew about them. Like why Leng Yan desperately wanted to stay in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List?


    It was because even if the assessment failed, he could still train in the Jue Xing Realm for five years.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Suddenly, dozens of spatial passageways appeared in the void, the passageways were dark and it was impossible to see the scenes within.


    ¡°The second choice.¡±


    ¡°Is to challenge the top one hundred Flying Heaven Level Reserve Members.¡± Chi Yang True God continued: ¡°If the challenge is successful, you can take over the original ranking of these reserve members, and you can continue to challenge, up to two times.¡±


    ¡°Also, the rewards obtained will be ten times higher than that of the ranking rewards.¡±


    ¡°For example, challenging the hundredth place, the normal reward is 1,000 Fangshen Crystals, but if the challenge is successful, it is 10,000 Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    ¡°However, if you fail in the challenge¡­ you will also lose the opportunity to enter the Trial Camp.¡± Chi Yan True God said: ¡°Think carefully on how to choose.¡±


    Silence.


    Everyone understood.


    Two paths, one path is to go through the trial pathway, there are no extra rewards but you are guaranteed to train in the Trial Camp for five years.


    The other path is the challenge, with extremely high rewards but also high risks.


    How to make a choice is in some ways, a test for all the Trialists.


    After a full ten seconds.


    ¡°Is there anyone who chooses to challenge the Reserve Members?¡± Chi Yan True Saint asked in a deep voice: ¡°If so, fly up into the sky.¡±


    Immediately.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! From over a thousand teams, dozens of figures flew out¡­ obviously, there were Flying Heaven Level geniuses who were full of confidence in their own strength.


    Li Yuan was naturally among them.


    The rewards were tempting.


    Challenging the lowest ¡®hundredth place¡¯, once successful, would gain ten thousand Divine Crystals.


    ¡°Good, there are not a few courageous people.¡± Chi Yang True God nodded slightly: ¡°Directly state the rank you wish to challenge.¡±


    ¡°One hundredth place.¡±


    ¡°One hundredth place.¡±


    ¡°One hundredth place.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°One hundredth place.¡±


    ¡­The thirty or so Flying Heaven Level talents who chose to challenge almost unanimously chose the hundredth place.


    After all, they must first strive for a safety net to avoid being directly eliminated and sent back to their Divine Kingdom, that would be too unjust.


    ¡°Rank ten.¡± A voice suddenly rang out.


    This voice wasn¡¯t loud, but mixed in with the chorus of ¡®hundredth place¡¯ it stood out starkly.


    In a moment.


    Whether it was the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine talents below or the thousands of Pseudo-Gods on the observation platform, their gazes all converged on that figure¡ªLi Yuan.


    The one who shouted out the challenge for the tenth place, was Li Yuan.


    ¡°Directly challenge the first? Too risky, if I fail it would be too unjust. The hundredth place? Too conservative, the tenth place as a baseline, should be more appropriate.¡± Li Yuan thought it through thoroughly.


    When it¡¯s time to fight, you have to fight.


    Can¡¯t be too conservative.


    The hundredth place would reward ten thousand Divine Crystals, so how much for the tenth place? It should reward tens of thousands of Divine Crystals.


    The voice was not too loud, but mixed in with the many ¡®hundredth place¡¯ calls it was still strikingly conspicuous.


    In an instant.


    Whether it was the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine talents below, or the thousands of Pseudo-Gods on the observation stand, all eyes converged on that figure¡ªLi Yuan.


    The one who shouted out the challenge for the tenth place, was Li Yuan.


    ¡°Directly challenge the first? Too risky, if I fail it would be too unjust, the hundredth? Too conservative, challenging the tenth place as a safety net, should be more appropriate.¡± Li Yuan was thinking very clearly.


    You have to fight when you need to fight.


    Can¡¯t be too conservative.


    The hundredth place would be rewarded with ten thousand Divine Crystals, so what about the tenth place? It should also award tens of thousands of Divine Crystals.

 Chapter 824 - 824 429 Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra for

    ?Chapter 824: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes) Chapter 824: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes) On the Void Arena, those hundred-plus Flying Heaven Reserve Members had already heard the words of Chi Yang True God.


    ¡°Challenge the tenth?¡±


    ¡°Ji Yan! Someone is challenging you.¡±


    ¡°So it¡¯s Xu Yuan, eh? I had heard about it before, saying that this session has a fierce one, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be this formidable.¡±


    ¡°Directly challenging the tenth, leaving no room for himself, does he not fear an accident?¡±


    ¡°Could he truly possess Semi-Divine Limit strength?¡± These hundred-plus Flying Heaven Reserve Members were quietly discussing among themselves.


    It must be noted, being able to become a reserve member of the ancient city at the Flying Heaven Level, each of them could be called a favored child of heaven, with quite a few having awakened Seven Star Veins¡­ their Law Comprehension is extremely high.


    One could say, each of these Jue Xing Ancient City reserve members could burst forth with Semi-Divine strength, those ranked within the top ten¡­ are geniuses among geniuses.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    ¡°Challenge me?¡± The reserve member named Ji Yan did not look very pleased.


    Normally speaking, in such challenge matches, these older generation reserve members, mostly between the fiftieth to one hundredth ranks, would be challenged.


    Those ranked higher are mostly just going through the motions.


    But Ji Yan did not expect to be the first to be challenged, so naturally, he was annoyed.


    ¡°Ji Yan, don¡¯t be careless.¡± The woman in a purple gauze dress said softly, ¡°Rumors say he has Semi-Divine Limit strength, but that battle was very short, and there¡¯s only this one fight¡­¡±


    ¡°But, even if the rumor is false, if he managed to survive an assassination by a Pseudo-God, he shouldn¡¯t be a fool, daring to challenge the tenth, he must not be weak.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Qi Xia, don¡¯t worry.¡± Ji Yan¡¯s gaze was cold, he murmured lowly: ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, a youngster who has practiced for just over thirty years, never having cultivated in the Ancient City, how could he possibly burst forth with Semi-Divine Limit strength?¡±


    Hoo!


    Ji Yan¡¯s figure moved, already floating down into the Void Arena.


    Actually, Ji Yan¡¯s thought represented the views of quite a number of reserve members¡­ Many had gotten information about Xu Yuan, at least acknowledging the person.


    But regarding ¡®Semi-Divine Limit strength¡¯, many Flying Heaven reserve members were skeptical.


    Just surviving a Divine assassination does not prove one¡¯s strength conclusively.


    Moreover, most of them were brilliant talents from their respective Divine Kingdoms, having been nurtured for decades in Jue Xing Ancient City, what kind of strength could they have?


    Drawing from oneself and others, without showcasing real combat achievements, it¡¯s hard to completely convince them.


    Shoo!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, likewise transforming into a stream of light, rushing into the Void Arena.


    The two were tens of kilometers apart, facing each other from afar.


    At this moment.


    Whether it was those thousand Pseudo-Gods, or the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divines in the square, their gaze fell upon the two.


    ¡°Big brother, can Brother Xu win?¡± Jiang Xuan was incredibly nervous, ¡°This is one of the top geniuses, ranked in the top ten amongst Flying Heaven in Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Hard to say.¡±


    ¡°If Brother Xu Yuan really has the strength rumored¡­ but I¡¯m worried, back when he resisted the Law Treasure, it was with the help of external objects.¡± Jiang Shan communicated through voice transmission: ¡°After all, you know as well, a Flying Heaven Level attempting to erupt with Semi-Divine Limit strength is unimaginable.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, her anxious heart somewhat relieved.


    Because!


    Back then, in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, she had witnessed Li Yuan defeating two Blood Demons.


    ¡­


    Within the internal part of the Void Arena, Li Yuan and Ji Yan faced each other distantly.


    Whir~ Along with the operation of the arena¡¯s formation, an invisible force enveloped heaven and earth, already covering both of them with a layer of hazy azure light.


    This was a protection, similar to the duels in the Nine Sound Building¡­ once the injuries one suffered surpassed the protective azure light¡¯s limit, they would be judged as defeated.


    After all, it¡¯s merely a sparring match, not a battle to the death, Jue Xing Ancient City did not wish for its talents to die this way.


    ¡°Unexpectedly.¡±


    ¡°One day, I would actually be challenged in a trial battle.¡± Ji Yan was also clad in black, his eyes cold, ¡°I will let you understand, in Jue Xing Ancient City, relying on treasures is useless, the top ten of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s Flying Heaven List¡­ are not something you can shake.¡±


    Till now, Ji Yan still believed that Li Yuan blocking the Law Treasure was not due to his own strength.


    ¡°Oh? You¡¯re called Ji Yan, right?¡± Li Yuan smiled lightly: ¡°Are you always this brave? More confident than me.¡±


    ¡°Bring out all your strength, I hope you¡¯re stronger than what the intelligence mentioned, otherwise, once I make a move, you won¡¯t have a chance.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Ji Yan was surprised.


    Those hundred-plus Flying Heaven reserve members watching from the edge of the Void Arena heard their conversation clearly and were suddenly a bit confused.


    Is this Xu Yuan really so confident?


    You must know, even those saint heirs ranked second or third, with strength clearly stronger than Ji Yan¡¯s, wouldn¡¯t have such an attitude.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Very good!¡± Ji Yan laughed in extreme anger: ¡°Just let me see how capable you, Xu Yuan, truly are.¡±


    Boom!


    With one step, Ji Yan instantly transformed into a ten-meter-tall figure, already having executed the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique: Life Breath soared to an astonishing level, nearly reaching the Semi-Divine Middle Rank, and in his hand emerged a Divine Artifact Combat Saber.


    Not bursting forth before, but now having burst forth, Ji Yan gave it his all.


    As a Third Rank Seven Star Veins powerhouse, he had his capital of pride.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Ji Yan transformed into a streak of light, closed the distance to Li Yuan in mere seconds, followed by a saber light like thunder splitting the vast sky, containing a conception of destruction, instantly striking towards Li Yuan.


    In terms of strength and skill, Ji Yan was much more terrifying than Fang Hai at the Flying Heaven Level, after all, his cultivation environment was much better, and his cultivation time was longer.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Limit level technique and moves? Reaching this step at the Flying Heaven Level is indeed impressive, in terms of strength should be close to the Semi-Divine Peak.¡± Through that furiously chopped saber, Li Yuan easily deduced the opponent¡¯s strength.

    ?Chapter 825: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)_2 Chapter 825: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)_2 This strength is quite impressive.


    Sadly, he is facing Li Yuan.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan did not even take out the Dark Star Divine Spear, he simply took a step and transformed into a ten-meter tall figure, his entire body covered with Nine Dragons Xuan Armor as he horizontally chopped forward with one hand.


    This move,


    was Li Yuan subconsciously imitating the scene in the Mirror of Laws, where Anchi Heavenly God slashed down with both palms unified.


    Using the palm as a saber!


    Slicing through the void!


    Li Yuan¡¯s palm, fully covered with metallic scales, immediately triggered the vibrations of the Law Origin from the universe, executing the fourth form of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear.¡±


    At his level, no matter what weapon he used, he could nearly perfectly execute the might of the moves.


    ¡°Boom~~¡±


    The palm blade instantly collided with the combat saber.


    ¡°You lose¡­ Huh? No way! How is this possible!¡± The originally imposing Ji Yan¡¯s complexion changed instantly, feeling an unbelievable and powerful force transmitted through his combat saber the moment they touched.


    The terrifying force of the impact almost made him lose grip of his own combat saber.


    Strong!


    Too strong.


    ¡°Bang!¡± The combat saber almost slipped from Ji Yan¡¯s hands, the base of his thumb cracked, his thick arms instantly tore, and blood spilled¡­ his entire body violently blasted backwards.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    But Li Yuan was faster, swiftly closing the distance like a gust of wind, and chopped with his palm blade again, directly sweeping over Ji Yan¡¯s body.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The protective azure light covering Ji Yan burst into a frightful glow, resisting the invasion of Li Yuan¡¯s blade momentum.


    ¡°The winner is determined.¡± Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xu Yuan wins!¡± A deep voice echoed in the Void Arena: ¡°Li Yuan successfully challenges and ranks tenth on the Starry Sky Ancient City Flying Heaven List.¡±


    Hush!


    Li Yuan moved and gracefully retreated backward, while Ji Yan was still in shock.


    In one encounter, he was defeated.


    Moreover, Li Yuan did not even use his weapon, showcasing a fearsome strength.


    Inside and outside the arena, silence prevailed.


    Before the match, many guessed that Li Yuan had a great chance of winning, but no one expected such a clear and swift victory.


    ¡°Ji Yan lost just like that?¡±


    ¡°Palm blade? Isn¡¯t Xu Yuan best at Spear Technique? How strong must he be to use a weapon?¡±


    ¡°The intelligence was actually true.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, indeed possesses Semi-Divine Limit strength! How short has he been practicing? No doubt about it.¡± After a moment of silence, the entire square erupted in intense discussions.


    ¡°¡­Won.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled: ¡°Big brother, Big brother Xu has won.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I saw it.¡± Jiang Shan sighed deeply: ¡°My previous guess was indeed true, it was a Pseudo-God Level move, our Brother Xu Yuan is truly ferocious.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Does he really have such strong capabilities?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s eyes brightened, showing a smile: ¡°Good! Good! There¡¯s really hope for challenging the Saint Heir.¡±


    ¡­


    Among discussions,


    Heavenly Divine Chi Yang speaking in the void with a hint of a smile in his tone: ¡°Xu Yuan, congratulations on your success in challenging the tenth rank, do you wish to continue challenging? You have one more attempt.¡±


    ¡°Reporting to the True God, I would like to continue challenging.¡± Li Yuan said, having won the tenth spot, he already earned a guaranteed reward.


    The next match, even if lost, doesn¡¯t matter anymore.


    ¡°Good.¡± Chi Yang True God wasn¡¯t surprised and asked: ¡°Which rank do you want to challenge?¡±


    ¡°First!¡± said Li Yuan directly.


    Although the top three were all Saint Heirs, in Li Yuan¡¯s view, since the outcome didn¡¯t matter, he naturally wanted to experience the best.


    Li Yuan¡¯s words also spread instantly, making countless people turn their eyes towards the waiting platform next to the Void Arena.


    ¡°Challenge the first.¡±


    ¡°Contesting for Saint Heir!¡±


    ¡°Can Xu Yuan win?¡±


    ¡°He will definitely win, defeating the tenth without even using a weapon. Once he uses a weapon, how strong he must be.¡± In a very short time, many people¡¯s thoughts flipped one hundred and eighty degrees, believing Li Yuan could take down the first place.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    And on the waiting platform, more than a hundred Flying Heaven Reserve Members all turned their eyes towards that purple-robed woman¡ªQi Xia.


    She is the current first Ranked Flying Heaven of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°Xu Yuan is really confident.¡±


    ¡°Dare to actually challenge Qi Xia.¡±


    ¡°Humph, if I had Semi-Divine Limit strength, I too would have the confidence to challenge the Saint Heir.¡±


    ¡°But that is Qi Xia.¡± These Flying Heaven Reserve Members conversed with each other.


    Perhaps the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine on the square didn¡¯t know; even the Pseudo-Gods were unclear.


    But these Flying Heaven Reserve Members, over many years, had already deeply understood how formidable Qi Xia was.


    With her strength, she was absolutely qualified to contend for the title of ¡®Strongest Flying Heaven¡¯ in the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    Hush!


    The purple-robed woman stood up, under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, gracefully entered the arena.


    She and Li Yuan were tens of kilometers apart, facing each other.


    ¡°Qi Xia, huh?¡± Li Yuan internally recited, sensing from Qi Xia¡¯s emitted aura, her composure.


    Having witnessed his own moves yet remaining so composed, she must have substantial capabilities.


    ¡°Troublesome.¡±


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, actually possesses Semi-Divine Limit strength.¡± Although Qi Xia appeared composed on the surface, her heart was somewhat panicked: ¡°Since this piece of information is true, then the estimation of his Soul Will reaching Pseudo-God Level should also be true.¡±


    ¡°How shall I win?¡± Qi Xia felt an aura difficult to deal with.


    From Li Yuan, Qi Xia could feel a terrifying determination and sharpness.


    Just like a Divine Spear that splits the Vast Sky, possessing a terror that could break through heaven and earth.


    And Qi Xia also knew, Xu Yuan had only practiced for a little over thirty years to achieve such power.


    ¡°Such a monster, reaching extremely high levels in every aspect, almost without any weaknesses.¡±


    ¡°I can only fight with all I¡¯ve got.¡± Qi Xia internally recited, she had faced many Semi-Divines, but never such a terrifying Semi-Divine.

    ?Chapter 826: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Additional Release for Monthly Votes)_3 Chapter 826: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Additional Release for Monthly Votes)_3 Boom!


    Qi Xia¡¯s eyes firmly fixed on Li Yuan, first an invisible fluctuation swept past, followed by her figure transforming into a murky, mysterious purple light, striking like lightning.


    The purple light split into two, fiercely slashing towards Li Yuan like a tidal wave.


    Such speed of the light attack was far more fierce than Ji Yan¡¯s blade light.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    That invisible soul attack, taking the lead, instantly invaded Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual world, but like a clay ox entering the sea, there was no response thereafter.


    Qi Xia¡¯s soul attack was incredibly fierce, but it didn¡¯t affect Li Yuan in the slightest.


    ¡°Soul attack me? Too naive,¡± Li Yuan said calmly.


    The moment he bore the brunt of Qi Xia¡¯s soul attack, he had already launched a full counterattack.


    Boom!


    A wave of soul fluctuation had, in turn, invaded Qi Xia¡¯s body, causing a moment of confusion in her eyes.


    Previously, fighting against Ji Yan, the opponent wasn¡¯t even worth Li Yuan¡¯s effort to use real soul attacks.


    Based on the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion,¡± the might of the soul secret technique ¡°Mind Soul¡± deployed by Li Yuan had skyrocketed terrifyingly. Even Qi Xia, whose soul was nearly at the level of a Pseudo-God, couldn¡¯t avoid being momentarily affected.


    And this was the moment Li Yuan had been waiting for.


    ¡°Even at the peak of Pseudo-God, it¡¯s hard to shake my soul,¡± thoughts emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Similarly, my soul attack is also terrifying.¡±


    ¡°This level of soul attack, even most Demigods cannot withstand it, let alone against the Flying Heaven Level and even if the opponent is a Flying Heaven Saint Heir, it seems somewhat unfair,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s palms moved consecutively.


    Without the Divine Spear, still his palms were like heavenly knives, perfectly carrying the profound conception of ¡®Fourth Style of Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ and fiercely struck on Qi Xia¡¯s body.


    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡± The terrifying palm-knife attack, six consecutive hits, just as Qi Xia regained consciousness, she felt the terrifying attack contained in the palm strikes, sending her flying backwards.


    The protective azure light on the surface of her body was also torn apart instantaneously.


    Qi Xia.


    Defeated!


    Silence ensued.


    As the strongest Flying Heaven Saint Heir, Qi Xia had little resistance against Li Yuan, and did not perform much better than Ji Yan, who ranked tenth.


    ¡°With respect,¡± Li Yuan said, cupping his hands.


    ¡°Such a powerful soul attack, unheard of among the Flying Heaven Level,¡± Qi Xia regained clarity, her eyes unusually calm: ¡°Even without deploying soul attacks, my chances of losing were already very high, but unfortunately, my soul attack is the strongest.¡±


    ¡°In the strongest aspect, you easily defeated me.¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    All eyes were centered on Li Yuan.


    They all knew that Jue Xing Ancient City had finally welcomed another incredibly monstrous Flying Heaven Saint Heir.


    The first trial of battle, and he had captured the title of First Saint.

    ?Chapter 827: Chapter 430: Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 827: Chapter 430: Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Tickets) ¡°Qi Xia lost just like that?¡± Ji Yan, who had hoped Qi Xia would avenge him, wore a look of disbelief on his face.


    ¡°How could the defeat be so miserable?¡±


    ¡°Earlier, did Qi Xia¡¯s soul attack not work at all?¡± Other Flying Heaven Reserve Members were also shocked.


    Li Yuan had effortlessly defeated Ji Yan earlier, letting them know this newcomer was not to be provoked.


    But they never imagined it would be to this extent.


    Qi Xia, who previously secured the position of First Saint Heir with her powerful soul attack, was now unmovable.


    But now, she was utterly defeated!


    ¡°Looking around the whole heaven and earth, Xu Yuan must be the strongest Flying Heaven by now,¡± many reserve Flying Heaven members thought to themselves.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Yuan won.¡±


    ¡°A miracle! First time participating in a trial battle, and he rose to the first rank of Flying Heaven, impressive!¡±


    ¡°So amazing, he won so easily. It was utterly effortless.¡± Across the entire square, the over one thousand teams of tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine talents all erupted in uproarious voices, finding it incredible.


    It was one thing to win.


    But key of all, the ease of victory was shocking. Qi Xia¡¯s instant defeat was clear for all to see; the two were simply not on the same level.


    ¡°This is a powerhouse from our Abyss Country.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡± The twenty or so talents from Abyss Country, some of whom were not even familiar with Li Yuan, also felt a sense of pride. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Number one! The First Saint Heir!¡± Jiang Xuan was excitedly exclaiming, ¡°Brother Xu is now the First Saint Heir.¡±


    ¡°Impressive.¡± Baili Teng remarked, ¡°A few months ago, when I first met Brother Xu Yuan, I knew he would shine in Jue Xing Ancient City, but I didn¡¯t expect him to take the title of First Saint Heir in one go.¡±


    There was also an uncontrollable smile on Jiang Shan¡¯s face.


    ¡°The First Saint Heir.¡± A thought rose in Jiang Shan¡¯s heart: ¡°Perhaps, in the future I could ask Brother Xu Yuan for help, but that will have to wait until after he becomes a True God.¡±


    ¡­


    Up high in the observation platform, those thousands of Pseudo-Gods were similarly noisy.


    ¡°The rumors were indeed true.¡±


    ¡°There were doubts before, but Xu Yuan¡¯s confrontation with Qi Xia not only easily blocked her soul attack but even turned it back on her¡­ Qi Xia¡¯s soul attack, even among countless Semi-Divine Limit Experts, is among the very top tier,¡± a Pseudo-God slowly said, ¡°Strong in soul attack, naturally strong in soul defense.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack, is probably at the Pseudo-God Level,¡± other Pseudo-Gods acknowledged.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Regarding material attacks, Xu Yuan doesn¡¯t seem too extraordinary; even if he were to take out weapons and burst with full power, he would probably be at the Semi-Divine Limit standard¡­ But with soul attack, he is likely among the most terrifying in the Semi-Divine Limits, few can withstand it.¡±


    ¡°Uh-huh!¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, such strong soul will, once he breaks through to become Semi-Divine¡­ it¡¯s unimaginable.¡± The leading Pseudo-Gods, mostly at the Pseudo-God Peak, had quite discerning eyes.


    They couldn¡¯t see it when Li Yuan confronted Ji Yan.


    But when Li Yuan fought with Qi Xia, they could see the clues and felt increasingly the extraordinariness of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Good, the First Saint Heir.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God could not hide the smile on his face, ¡°This is the first case in the history of our Abyss Country, once the King knows about it, he will probably be happy too.¡±


    The Flying Heaven Level, challenging for the first time to become the First Saint Heir, is rare even in the billion years history of Jue Xing Ancient City, let alone in our Abyss Country, which only has a history of over ten thousand years.


    ¡°Look, Sha Xi is not pretending anymore.¡±


    ¡°Just now he was saying to us, it would be good if Xu Yuan could make it into the top ten, now he¡¯s not even hiding it.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, being low-key is all an act.¡± The other Pseudo-Gods all laughed.


    ¡°I truly didn¡¯t expect Li Yuan to be so formidable,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said with a laugh.


    ¡°This guy, still pretending! He must be absolutely thrilled inside, it¡¯s just a pity that our Divine Kingdom can¡¯t produce such a genius.¡±


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    After Li Yuan¡¯s victorious challenge, guided by an invisible force, he also flew towards the ¡®Waiting Platform¡¯ beside the Void Arena directly finding an empty Jade Platform to sit down.


    The surrounding group of Flying Heaven Reserve Members looked at each other.


    No one came forward to greet him, but no one came to mock either, Ji Yan was even turning his head away not looking at Li Yuan¡­ These reserve members all knew, this newly ascended top ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯, his future achievements were beyond their imagination.


    Time passed.


    After Li Yuan, the other thirty or so Flying Heaven Level participants successively began their challenges.


    Failed!


    Failed!


    Win!


    ¡­Those daring to challenge at the Flying Heaven Level, naturally had the confidence, and eventually, most managed to successfully challenge one hundred members, but going further was difficult.


    In the end, except for Li Yuan, the strongest newcomer among the Flying Heaven Level ¡®Jin Zhen¡¯; challenged and succeeded against sixty reserve members.


    If it were the past, such a record would have been quite dazzling, and if he practiced for a few more decades in Jue Xing Ancient City, he would have a chance to challenge for ¡®Saint Heir¡¯.


    But with Li Yuan setting a precedent, it no longer stirred much debate.


    ¡°Very good.¡±


    ¡°This generation of the Flying Heaven Level has seen many elite talents emerge, and even courageously challenging,¡± Chi Yang True God said with a faint smile, ¡°Alright, all Flying Heaven Levels, Semi Divine Levels will enter the trial passageway now, to see how many can pass the basic trials to become official members of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A majestic force suddenly enveloped the whole square, swiftly entering thousands of talents into various spatial passageways.


    ¡°This Jue Xing Ancient City truly excels in the application of space,¡± Li Yuan secretly marveled.


    The strength of having Heavenly Divine abilities versus not having them, is starkly different.

    ?Chapter 828: Chapter 430: Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2 Chapter 828: Chapter 430: Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2 Just about half an hour.


    The assessment of over ten thousand Flying Heaven Semi-Divine candidates had all ended.


    At the Flying Heaven Level, only about twenty passed the assessment to become ¡®Flying Heaven Reserve Members,¡¯ plus the successful twenty-something challengers like Li Yuan, making a total of just fifty.


    Out of nine thousand! Only fifty passed the trial assessment! The probability was indeed very low.


    Among the other fourteen geniuses from Abyss Country, including Jiang Xuan, as Sha Xi Pseudo-God had predicted, all failed.


    However, these nine thousand unsuccessful Flying Heaven Level candidates still had five years.


    In the next five years, they could continue to cultivate within the Jue Xing Realm, and after five years, they could take the trial assessment again¡­ If they could pass at that time, they would have another chance to become reserve members.


    The Flying Heaven Level candidates still had opportunities, but it was much more cruel for demigods; once they failed, there were no second chances.


    Of course, the requirements for demigod reserve members at Jue Xing Ancient City seemed to be somewhat lower; of the six thousand demigods who took the trial, eventually, over a thousand passed the assessment.


    Among the ten demigods from Abyss Country, four succeeded, including Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, and Wu Beihong, which could be said to have an extremely high pass rate.


    It was apparent.


    At the demigod stage, the internal training conditions and the genius selection mechanism within Abyss Country were evidently much higher than those of ordinary Divine Kingdoms.


    ¡­


    ¡°I announce, the selection of this session¡¯s reserve members for Jue Xing Ancient City, is now officially concluded,¡± declared Chi Yang True God, looking down upon the thousands of trialists who had passed, including Li Yuan and Jin Zhen.


    Chi Yen True God slowly said: ¡°For those who passed the assessment and became reserve members, congratulations. You have joined Jue Xing Ancient City, and I hope that one day, the ancient city can take pride in you.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Thousands of demigods and dozens of Flying Heaven candidates bowed respectfully, many of them feeling a trace of excitement in their hearts.


    Starry Sky Ancient City!!


    It is the strongest cultivation holy land between heaven and earth.


    It could be said, whoever joins Jue Xing Ancient City would see their hopes of becoming a True God skyrocket.


    Chi Yang True God then looked towards the several thousand demigods who did not pass the assessment: ¡°You need not be discouraged. Go back and cultivate in your own Divine Kingdoms. In the future, you may still have the hope of becoming Pseudo-Gods or even True Gods¡­ If you become Pseudo-Gods, you will have the qualifications to join the defenses of Jue Xing.¡±


    ¡°If you become a True God, you can also join Jue Xing Ancient City and possibly rise to its core ranks.¡±


    ¡°In short, always harbor hope,¡± Chi Yang True God said. ¡°Our Jue Xing Ancient City will always open its doors to the strong.¡±


    For Jue Xing Ancient City, resources were limited, naturally restricting the number of Flying Heaven and demigods that could be extensively nurtured.


    But if one could cultivate into a Pseudo-God or even a True God within a subordinate Divine Kingdom¡­ they are also valued.


    Especially True Gods!!


    Each is a vital force, and they must be attracted and kept as much as possible.


    ¡°Those who failed the Flying Heaven Level assessment, stay where you are. For the next five years, you will cultivate here in this Floating City, striving hard to seize the opportunity,¡± Chi Yang True God declared.


    ¡°Now, reserve members follow the Jue Xing guards, enter Jue Xing Ancient City, and from today onwards, you will be cultivating in the Divine Fire Hall.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, come with me,¡± Chi Yang True God said once everything was finished, and then soared into the sky.


    Li Yuan momentarily stunned, quickly exchanged a few words through telepathy with Jiang Shan, Jiang Xuan, and others, before hastening to follow.


    The two disappeared into the void and clouds at a rapid pace.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Entering the Starry Sky Ancient City now.¡±


    ¡°In the years to come, we will be spending a lot of time in Jue Xing Ancient City,¡± those thousands of reserve members also followed the dozens of Jue Xing guards, flying towards the Starry Sky Ancient City.


    According to the rules of Jue Xing Ancient City, both Flying Heaven and demigods are to cultivate long-term within the Jue Xing Realm, leaving only for some trials.


    In a sense, this is a form of protection.


    Once ascended to godhood, one becomes a formal member, with much more freedom¡­ and should one become a True God, there¡¯s even the possibility of being dispatched to govern a Divine Kingdom, commanding immense prestige.


    ¡°Little sister,¡± Jiang Shan telepathically said to Jiang Xuan while taking off: ¡°You must not slack off in your cultivation over these five years, seize the opportunity¡­ I will come to see you again when there¡¯s a chance, and if you pass the trial after five years, you can also see Xu Yuan again.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hm, big brother, I will definitely try hard,¡± Jiang Xuan stood still, replying telepathically.


    ¡°With big brother Xu ascending to Saint Heir, and big brother successfully becoming reserve member,¡± Jiang Xuan thought to herself, ¡°I too need to strive.¡±


    She was filled with fighting spirit.


    She had cultivated for less than sixty years, making her quite young among the Flying Heaven Level, and both her Law Talent and Star Vein Talent were not bad¡­ but reaching the requirements of reserve member within five years was indeed a challenge.


    Time passed, and the tens of thousands gradually parted ways.


    Just a short time ago, they all shared the same status, but now they had been separated into several levels.


    The worst-off lost the direct chance to join Jue Xing Ancient City, only to return to their Divine Kingdom for cultivation.


    The ones in the middle still had chances and hope.


    And the strongest and most dazzling naturally was Li Yuan, ascending to the skies as the First Saint of Flying Heaven, being personally led into the city by Chi Yang True God.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan was enveloped by the force wielded by Chi Yang True God, and they both flew at an extremely fast speed. In just a little over ten seconds, they had broken through the layers of clouds and arrived above Jue Xing Ancient City.


    From here, they could overlook the entire Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°It¡¯s huge,¡± Li Yuan looked down upon the sprawling city below, possibly stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with most areas shrouded in clouds.


    But he could also see many towering and endless palaces, many buildings that even by eye estimation, were probably several hundred kilometers tall.


    It truly deserves the name of a Divine City.


    The most dazzling of all was the spherical building at the edge of heaven and earth, standing above Jue Xing Ancient City like a star above. That spherical building emitted a rainbow-colored radiance, illuminating the entire world.

    ?Chapter 829: Chapter 430 Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3 Chapter 829: Chapter 430 Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3 ¡°That is?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°That is the Heavenly God Temple, only Heavenly Divine beings are qualified to enter.¡± Chi Yang True God slowly spoke, his eyes also showing a hint of reverence: ¡°It is also the ¡®Inheritance Divine Artifact¡¯ of Jue Xing Ancient City, the first Divine Artifact in this realm ¡ª Heavenly Star!¡±


    Inheritance Divine Artifact? Heavenly Star? Li Yuan gazed into the distance.


    As far as he knew.


    In the Divine Realm, the reason why each Starry Sky Ancient City could wield such might and inherit through millions of years.


    First, it¡¯s because Starry Sky Ancient City itself is extremely strong, even True Gods at their Peak could withstand attacks from Heavenly Divine beings if they control the ancient city.


    Second, it¡¯s due to the Inheritance Divine Artifacts; once a Heavenly Divine seizes the Inheritance Divine Artifact, their strength would soar immensely.


    Third, is Teleportation! Inside Starry Sky Ancient City, vast voids are embedded which even have the capability to breach realms, hardly ever sealed¡­ Even when besieged, the internal mechanisms of Starry Sky Ancient City could operate autonomously. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Numerous reasons render the Starry Sky Ancient City¡¯s reputation vastly prestigious.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, your talent is extremely high.¡± Chi Yang True God smiled at Li Yuan: ¡°Perhaps one day, if you comprehend the Great Dao and achieve Heavenly Divine¡­ maybe you could also become the next City Lord, wielding the Heavenly Star.¡±


    ¡°You flatter me too much.¡± Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly.


    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t be modest, at least your talent is the highest I¡¯ve seen in ten thousand years.¡± Chi Yang True God boomed: ¡°Young man, you should have the boldness of youth, it¡¯s not just me who favors you, the Heavenly Divine also highly regards you.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Divine?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Who I am taking you to meet now, is the current City Lord of Jue Xing Ancient City, ¡®Tai You Heavenly God¡¯.¡± Chi Yang True God smiled: ¡°Otherwise, why would I bring you here alone? Normally speaking, although you are a Saint Heir, you are still a reserve member, just going to the Divine Fire Hall would suffice.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    ¡°The news of your acquisition of the Flying Heaven Saint Heir title, I reported immediately, and Tai You Heavenly God ordered me to bring you for an audience after the trial battle is over.¡± Chi Yang True God explained: ¡°Of course, perhaps Jiang Yuan True God had already conveyed a message to Tai You Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°Anyway, being summoned by a Heavenly Divine is extremely rare.¡±


    ¡°Even Flying Heaven Saint Heirs and Demigod Sons, most do not receive summons.¡± Chi Yang True God said: ¡°After all, most Saint Heirs also end up as regular True Gods in the end¡­ but your potential is clearly different, you have a promising chance to ascend as a Heavenly Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    Summoned by a Heavenly Divine? And the current City Lord of Jue Xing Ancient City? This was something Li Yuan had never imagined.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Ordinary reserve members must traverse the city gates, streets on foot, with no privilege to fly high in the sky¡­ once you receive the Saint Son Token, you will have the privilege.¡± Chi Yang True God said: ¡°With the Saint Son Token, when you go to the core Divine Kingdom controlled by Jue Xing Ancient City, you can utilize the might of the Guardian Arrays at multiple stations through the token.¡±


    ¡°This is a special privilege.¡±


    ¡°Saint Heirs, slightly below True Gods in status, but much higher in protection.¡± Chi Yang True God said.


    As the commander of the Divine Fire Hall, though Chi Yang True God¡¯s strength is not as supreme as Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s, it is still tremendously formidable¡­ he usually does not care about ordinary Saint Heirs.


    But for Li Yuan, he was very patient, continuously explaining to Li Yuan, giving him a deeper understanding of the entire Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°When meeting Heavenly Divine, be neither overbearing nor servile, just be respectful.¡± Chi Yang True God said: ¡°Tai You Heavenly God is very protective of the younger generation.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for the guidance, senior.¡± Li Yuan respectfully said.


    After a while.


    The two finally traversed a significant portion of Jue Xing Ancient City and arrived in front of a majestic palace.


    They were not far from the Heavenly God Temple now.


    The guards outside the palace were all Jue Xing guards at the Pseudo-God Level, each emanating an exceptionally strong aura.


    ¡°Chi Yang True God,¡± the leading Jue Xing guard commander smiled: ¡°This must be Xu Yuan, the Heavenly Divine just sent a message, ordering you to enter.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Chi Yang True God said, although these Jue Xing guards were just Pseudo-Gods.


    But as attendants to a Heavenly Divine, he certainly did not wish to offend.


    Leading Li Yuan, the two passed through many corridors and several side halls, the palace interior was also divided into many halls¡­ eventually reaching a huge hall in the deep interior.


    The hall was not very large, quite empty.


    Only a thin figure in a large azure robe, sitting cross-legged on a Jade Platform, the robe seemed somewhat ill-fitting on him.


    However, the azure-clad figure exuded an immensely vast aura of Fire Law, at first glance, seeming almost like an incarnation of the Great Dao¡¯s origin.


    ¡°Heavenly Divine.¡± Chi Yang True God respectfully greeted: ¡°Xu Yuan brought here.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, greetings to the Heavenly Divine.¡± Li Yuan also bowed respectfully, not daring to look up directly.


    The pressure emitted by Tai You Heavenly God was not strong, yet it gave Li Yuan a sense of invincibility, as if an ant looking up at a Divine Dragon.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Your first trial battle, acquiring the title of Flying Heaven Saint Heir, and so young¡­ by rights, you are qualified to be apprenticed under me or another Heavenly Divine.¡± Tai You Heavenly God¡¯s voice was gentle.


    Li Yuan listened quietly.


    By rights? That means there might be exceptions.


    ¡°But since you have already apprenticed under another Heavenly Divine, and are a disciple of Jiang Yuan True God¡­we would find it inappropriate to take in disciples.¡± Tai You Heavenly God continued.


    Li Yuan remained calm, but Chi Yang True God beside him looked somewhat surprised at Li Yuan.


    Already a disciple of a Heavenly Divine? And a disciple of Jiang Yuan?


    If this news were known, it would certainly be a big sensation.


    ¡°However, since you have joined my Jue Xing Ancient City, and are from Jiang Yuan¡¯s lineage, naturally you are also core to our Jue Xing Ancient City.¡± Tai You Heavenly God said: ¡°We will naturally cultivate you wholeheartedly, and also hope you meet our expectations.¡±


    ¡°Whoa!¡±


    Tai You Heavenly God waved his hand, flying out a Storage Magical Treasure and a token.


    ¡°You won the First Saint title, normally the reward is ten thousand Divine Crystals, but since it¡¯s your first participation, the reward is increased tenfold, here are one hundred thousand Divine Crystals, all in the Storage Treasure.¡± Tai You Heavenly God said: ¡°This is the Saint Son Token, I¡¯ve added some extra privileges to it¡­ from now on, in my Jue Xing Ancient City, you will be equivalent to a True God.¡±

    ?Chapter 830: Chapter 430 Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Ticket)_4 Chapter 830: Chapter 430 Meeting the Heavenly Divine (Request for Monthly Ticket)_4 ¡°Apart from you, among the dozens of Saint Heirs in Jue Xing Ancient City, only Jing Kui can match your status.¡±


    ¡°You should have met Jing Kui.¡±


    Jing Kui?


    Li Yuan was inwardly shocked, now fully aware of Jing Kui¡¯s status¡­ within Jue Xing Ancient City, he must be the most valued Demigod.


    ¡°All your expenses and privileges are the same as those of the Flying Heaven Saint Heir.¡±


    ¡°But I will bestow upon you another treasure.¡± Tai You Heavenly God said: ¡°You may go to the Wanfa Palace and choose a ¡®Mirror of Laws¡¯ for your own cultivation, decide for yourself which type you want.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan was inwardly delighted.


    A Mirror of Laws? He had used one before, naturally aware of the great opportunity it represented.


    ¡°Mirror of Laws?¡± Even Chi Yang True God beside him felt some envy, for he had never received such a cultivation treasure.


    In Jue Xing Ancient City, generation after generation, there have been Heavenly Divine presiding.


    Before each Heavenly Divine passes away, most would condense out a True River of Laws, Mirror of Laws¡­ Over the long years, such treasures have accumulated in Jue Xing Ancient City.


    But they are limited in number.


    The vast majority of Flying Heaven Saint Heirs and Demigod Saint Heirs do not qualify to come in contact with these treasures.


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°If you can ascend to the Semi Divine Realm sooner, with your speed of cultivation, you may gain something in the battle of the Ancestral Realm.¡± Tai You Heavenly God said: ¡°However, the decision on how to proceed¡­ you make on your own.¡±


    ¡°Chi Yang, take Xu Yuan to the Divine Fire Hall.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Chi Yang True God nodded, leading Li Yuan out of the hall.


    ¡­Inside the hall.


    Tai You Heavenly God still sat quietly on the Jade Platform, whispering: ¡°Heavenly Star, how goes the observation?¡±


    ¡°Tai You, he is not a native being of our world.¡± A deep voice replied: ¡°The Origin of heaven and earth slightly rejects him, though the resistance is very mild due to his weak strength, but it does not escape my senses.¡±


    Evidently, this deep voice belonged to the Artifact Spirit of the Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s Inheritance Divine Artifact ¡®Heavenly Star¡¯.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Tai You Heavenly God nodded slightly, as if he had already known.


    ¡°Additionally.¡±


    ¡°I sensed a familiar aura from him, related to another Inheritance Divine Artifact.¡± Heavenly Star Artifact Spirit spoke somberly: ¡°It is neither from Changqing Ancient City nor Heavenly Snake Ancient City, I cannot determine precisely, as I am not the original Artifact Spirit.¡±


    ¡°Involvement with other Inheritance Divine Artifacts?¡± Tai You Heavenly God¡¯s eyes flashed with rare surprise.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°He must also be part of a Starry Sky Ancient City in his own homeland world, and is a core member.¡± Tai You Heavenly God spoke slowly: ¡°It¡¯s not too surprising, after all.¡±


    ¡°Tai You, with this in mind, why then cultivate him?¡± The Heavenly Star Artifact Spirit asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°This world is more mystical than you imagine.¡±


    ¡°At that time, when our world¡¯s space and time were isolated¡­ The three Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the Ancestral Realm¡­¡± Tai You Heavenly God spoke softly: ¡°Can such a situation last forever? There have already been changes in the Ancestral Realm, millions of years ago, extraterritorial talents descended one after another, Heavenly Divine began to leave following the Ancestral Realm¡­ What will the future hold?¡±


    ¡°Do you remember Gu Yun Heavenly God?¡±


    The Heavenly Star Artifact Spirit was startled. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    How could it forget? Millions of years ago, that grand figure traversed heaven and earth, stirred endless storms, and forced it and the other two Inheritance Divine Artifacts into constant retreat.


    ¡°The incident with Gu Yun Heavenly God was a mistake, I, as the current City Lord, cannot allow such errors to be repeated¡­¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, although not a native life form of our world, poses no threat to Jue Xing Ancient City, nor is he our enemy.¡±


    ¡°If cultivated with care, perhaps, we may reap unexpected rewards in the future.¡± Tai You Heavenly God continued slowly: ¡°Besides, if Jiang Yuan assumes this causality, we can pretend to be unaware.¡±


    ¡°I understand.¡± said the Heavenly Star Artifact Spirit.

    ?Chapter 831: Chapter 431 Cultivation Holy Land! Murderer (Extra updates for monthly tickets) Chapter 831: Chapter 431 Cultivation Holy Land! Murderer (Extra updates for monthly tickets) Huff! Huff!


    Li Yuan followed Chi Yang True God, leaving the residence of the Tai You True God.


    Just as they entered the high sky, Li Yuan had successfully refined the Saint Son Token, and immediately felt a surge of information flood into his mind.


    It was all about the various privileges of the ¡®Flying Heaven Saint Son¡¯ and a detailed introduction to the entire Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Buzz~


    An invisible fluctuation swept across the space and instantly enveloped Li Yuan, making the fluctuations of the aura emitted by Li Yuan distinct.


    ¡°Refined the Saint Son Token?¡± Chi Yang True God revealed a smile, noticing the subtle changes in Li Yuan¡¯s aura.


    This was not a change in the soul¡¯s aura, but rather¡ªhierarchical privileges.


    ¡°Um.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod and blurted out, ¡°Hall Master, are you the Ninth Rank?¡±


    According to the information Li Yuan received, the members of the Starry Sky Ancient City have a total of eleven hierarchical ranks, with the First Rank being the lowest and the Tenth Rank being the highest.


    The First Rank is the lowest, encompassing all Semi-Divine Level servants of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Jue Xing guards generally belong to the Second or Third Ranks, and those serving as Commanders hold the Fourth Rank.


    Pseudo-God Level ordinary members are generally the Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Rank depending on their strength and contributions.


    Reserve members below the Divine level all belong to the Fourth Rank; Saint Sons belong to the Sixth Rank.


    True God level members are at least Seventh Rank.


    Although Li Yuan is only a Flying Heaven Level Saint Son, the privileges transmitted by the Saint Son Token belong to the Seventh Rank.


    ¡°Inside Jue Xing Ancient City, if you encounter lower-ranked powers, you will sense their rank levels.¡±


    ¡°If you encounter higher-ranked powers, you can only sense that their rank is higher than yours; whether their rank is revealed depends on their willingness. Like me, I am one whose rank is public,¡± Chi Yang True God said with a smile, ¡°Rank, in some sense, also reflects strength.¡±


    ¡°Like you, coming from Abyss Country, Jiang Yuan True God is of the Tenth Rank, which is rare when you look at the entire Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Divines, are all at the Eleventh Rank, the highest.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve just reached the Flying Heaven Level and have already obtained the Seventh Rank, which will make many envious,¡± Chi Yang True God smiled, ¡°At least, you now have the privilege to freely enter most areas of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    He knew now that Jue Xing Ancient City was divided into two main areas, the outer and inner cities¡­ One must be at least Sixth Rank to enter the inner city areas, and some secretive forbidden areas required even higher, at least Seventh Rank.


    Like Divine Fire Hall, as a gathering place for numerous reserve members, it belonged to the outer city.


    While places like the Wan Fa Hall, were in the Inner Domain. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°By the rules.¡±


    ¡°You can be allocated a set of Saint Son¡¯s residences in the Divine Fire Hall and can cultivate in the Divine Fire Palace,¡± Chi Yang True God said, ¡°Also, you can apply for a separate palace in the outer city¡­ or cultivate alone on the side, it¡¯s up to you.¡±


    ¡°Hall Master, let¡¯s go to the Divine Fire Hall first,¡± Li Yuan said.


    There is no need to rush to apply for an independent palace now; it can still be applied for later.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Chi Yang True God said, ¡°Let¡¯s head to the Divine Fire Hall first¡­ I¡¯ll give you a detailed introduction.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two traveled through the clouds, and with Li Yuan¡¯s current privileges, he could also freely traverse above the skies of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Before long.


    Chi Yang True God and Li Yuan reached a mountain range that stretched for a thousand kilometers, containing some large-scale palaces and some small courtyards.


    The entire mountain range was unimaginably beautiful, with dense mists and a rich aura of Origin Power.


    ¡°This is the Divine Fire Hall,¡± Chi Yang True God said.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually a mountain range,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, but didn¡¯t find it too strange.


    The entire Jue Xing Ancient City spans hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and after gaining high-level privileges, as Li Yuan perceived and inquired, many residences in the outer city contained mountains.


    The entire ancient city can be understood as a piece of land.


    ¡°Divine Fire Palace, including the newly joined members like you, presently has fewer than two hundred Flying Heaven Level individuals,¡± Chi Yang True God said, ¡°But the Semi-Divine Level has many more, nearly ten thousand living throughout the mountain range¡­ this mountain range is also known as the Divine Fire Mountain Range.¡±


    ¡°Nearly ten thousand?¡± Li Yuan was initially stunned.


    ¡°Every trial battle recruits thousands of Semi-Divine reserve members, plus those promoted from Flying Heaven Level¡­ and a few directly recommended by True Gods,¡± Chi Yang True God laughed, ¡°After several centuries of accumulation, continuously adding members while others fall or break through to Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, keeping the number of Semi-Divines in Divine Fire Hall at eight to nine thousand, occasionally exceeding ten thousand.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    Every twenty years, thousands are recruited, hence theoretically reaching ten thousand over two centuries.


    ¡°Those who can enter the Divine Fire Hall, like Jiang Shan and others, have almost all reached the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God,¡± Li Yuan silently marveled, ¡°This means, nearly ten thousand Semi-Divines in Divine Fire Hall¡­ each with a strength comparable to a principal?¡±


    Just thinking about it, Li Yuan felt rather emotional.


    Too powerful.


    Of course, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too surprised¡­ after all, considering the position of Jue Xing Ancient City within the Divine Realm, it was already a major force comparable to the Heavenly Serpent Clan.


    Huff! Huff!


    Li Yuan followed Chi Yang True God and reached a palace at the center of the mountain range; today, the palace had gathered thousands of Dao Bodies, most of which were Semi-Divines, with a few being at Flying Heaven Level.


    On a high platform at the end of the palace, there were six figures emitting terrifying auras, all of whom were True Gods.


    ¡°Six Vice Hall Masters?¡± Li Yuan thought silently. With so many reserve members in Divine Fire Hall, it was naturally impossible for Chi Yang True God to manage them all.


    ¡°The Hall Master has arrived.¡±


    ¡°The Hall Master is back.¡± As soon as Chi Yang True God entered the palace, everyone immediately looked towards him.


    Following closely, almost everyone saw Li Yuan standing behind Chi Yang True God.


    ¡°It¡¯s Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Is he the first Flying Heaven Xu Yuan?¡± the thousands of Semi-Divines inside the hall, most of whom were curiously looking at Li Yuan.

 Chapter 832 - 832 431 Cultivation Holy Land The Murderer

    ?Chapter 832: Chapter 431: Cultivation Holy Land! The Murderer (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_2 Chapter 832: Chapter 431: Cultivation Holy Land! The Murderer (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_2 They are all longstanding members of the Divine Fire Hall, yet in this brief span of time, they had all come to know the name and deeds of Li Yuan.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan swiftly flew down, landing at the very forefront of the group of hundreds of Flying Heaven rank members, prompting those who were originally at the front, such as Qi Xia and Ji Yan, to subconsciously step back.


    ¡°Today,¡±


    ¡°We, the Divine Fire Hall, have welcomed over a thousand new members.¡± Chi Yang True God was already standing on the high platform, his terrifying aura dispersing, like a sun filled with destructive power, overwhelming everyone present.


    Even the six True Gods standing by his side seemed somewhat dim in comparison to his aura.


    ¡°There are less than twelve years left until the war of the Ancestral Realm.¡± Chi Yang True God spoke slowly: ¡°I hope you all seize the time, strive hard in your cultivation¡­ In the last war of the Ancestral Realm, our Jue Xing Ancient City only secured three spots in the top ten, and a mere thirty-six people in the top hundred. I hope this generation can surpass the last.¡±


    Li Yuan listened on, inwardly astonished.


    Securing about one-third yet still unsatisfied? One should know that the entire world has three major Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the Six Great Holy Lands¡­ even the continents and realms beyond have some powerful forces.


    From this, one could gauge the might of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°Following the old tradition,¡±


    ¡°Today we announce the new rankings.¡± With a wave of Chi Yang True God¡¯s hand, a large and a small projection screens suddenly appeared in the void of the temple.


    On the smaller screen were only a few hundred names:


    Flying Heaven List:


    First: Xu Yuan (Semi-Divine Limit Strength, Saint Heir)


    Second: Qi Xia (Semi-Divine Limit Strength, Saint Heir) sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Third¡­


    ¡­


    Eleventh: Ji Yan (Peak of Semi-Divine Strength)


    ¡­


    Sixty-first: Jin Zhen (Semi-Divine Middle Rank Strength)


    ¡­


    One hundred ninety-second: Yue Kong (Semi-Divine Middle Rank Strength)


    ¡­


    The reserve members of the Flying Heaven level amounted to fewer than two hundred people, with Li Yuan uncontroversially ranking first.


    On the larger screen, however, there were close to ten thousand names, alongside extremely detailed rankings.


    Semi-Divine List:


    First: Jing Kui (Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength, Saint Heir)


    Second: He Feng (Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength, Saint Heir)


    Third: Dong Pan (Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength, Saint Heir)


    ¡­


    Eighth: Yue Shan (Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength, Saint Heir)


    ¡­


    Sixteenth: Yan Dong (Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength, Saint Heir)


    Seventeenth: Wu Jiang (Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength)


    ¡­


    Three hundred sixty-seventh: Yang Di (Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength)


    Three hundred sixty-eighth: Jin Bi (Initial Rank of Pseudo-God Strength)


    ¡­


    Nine thousandth: Jiang Shan (Initial Rank of Pseudo-God Strength)


    ¡­


    Nine thousand three hundred twentieth: Qiu Qian (Initial Rank of Pseudo-God Strength)


    ¡­


    Through the Semi-Divine List of the Divine Fire Hall, Li Yuan quickly understood the strength of the top echelon of the semi-divines of the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    ¡°Sixteen Semi-Divine Saint Heirs? Jing Kui ranked first.¡± Li Yuan murmured: ¡°Although seemingly marked with the same Pseudo-God Middle Rank Strength as the other three hundred plus individuals, the actual difference in a true battle would probably be significant.¡±


    Li Yuan knew very well.


    Levels 50 and 51 belong to the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    Levels 52 to 54 all belong to the Pseudo-God Middle Rank.


    Levels 55 to 56 are all considered at the Peak of Pseudo-God.


    Level 57 can only be achieved by awakening the Seven Star Veins; only when Origin Power reaches this level, combined with extremely high Law Comprehension and powerful Divine Artifacts, can one generally be qualified to be called the ¡°Pseudo-God Limit¡± among pseudo-gods.


    Pseudo-God Middle Rank spans the largest range of strength.


    ¡°Someone like Jing Kui likely approaches the Peak of Pseudo-God, while those ranked around the three hundred might just have entered the Pseudo-God Middle Rank.¡± Li Yuan silently pondered.


    A true Pseudo-God Middle Rank powerhouse, compared to an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, would surpass in all aspects like Origin Power Cultivation, Law Comprehension, Star Techniques, and more¡­


    Yet, the half-gods, being fundamentally weaker than pseudo-gods and unable to enhance their Origin Power Cultivation or Star Techniques, find it increasingly difficult to improve their strength beyond a certain point.


    They could mainly rely on the Mystery of their Techniques for improvement.


    ¡°A Seven Star Vein Half-God like Jiang Shan, with a Law Comprehension reaching the Seven Stages of Perfection (Initial Rank of Pseudo-God), could possess combat strength comparable to an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan pondered: ¡°If his Law Comprehension reaches the Intermediate Rank of the Eighth Stage (Pseudo-God High Rank Standard), his strength might just reach the baseline of Pseudo-God Middle Rank.¡±


    Advancing in Law Comprehension gets progressively slower as one progresses.


    For many pseudo-gods, cultivating for thousands of years, it¡¯s difficult to progress a Law from the Seventh Stages of Perfection to the Intermediate Rank of the Eighth Stage, reflecting the difficulty involved.


    Therefore, even for a Seven Star Vein Half-God, achieving Pseudo-God Middle Rank strength in just a few hundred years is extremely challenging.


    ¡°If Jiang Shan wants his combat strength to reach the Pseudo-God Peak, his Law Comprehension must achieve the Ninth Stage.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but think of the Dongfang Alliance Leader.


    With less than two hundred years of cultivation.


    He, with his Eight Star Veins, has unleashed Peak of Pseudo-God strength. Although having the Origin Divine Artifact played a part¡­ it still sufficed to prove Dongfang Ji¡¯s terrifying power and talent.


    ¡°If the Principal were growing up in the Jue Xing Continent, he would probably have the hope to become the top talent of his generation.¡± A thought passed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Currently, if I push my Origin Power Cultivation to level 48.9 in one breath, and all my Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank Limit¡­ with powerful Star Techniques, my strength is estimated to match a level 52 Pseudo-God, reaching the baseline of Pseudo-God Middle Rank.¡±


    With such strength, aiming to seize the Ancestor Realm Order?


    There¡¯s no hope.


    ¡°Next, on the one hand, is to strive to awaken the Life Star,¡± Li Yuan considered, ¡°On the other hand, is to make diligent efforts to comprehend the Law, to achieve even higher Law Comprehension.¡±


    Although he has yet to awaken the Nine Star Pulse and does not know when he will make his breakthrough to Semi-Divine.


    But one must have a long-term plan for the path of cultivation.


    ¡­


    Chi Yang True God did not speak for too long before he ordered the ten thousand Flying Heaven Semi-Divines to disperse on their own.

    ?Chapter 833: Chapter 431: Cultivation Holy Land! Murderer (Extra chapter for monthly votes)_3 Chapter 833: Chapter 431: Cultivation Holy Land! Murderer (Extra chapter for monthly votes)_3 But before Li Yuan could leave, he was quickly surrounded by a group of demigods.


    Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, and Wu Beihong were all conspicuously present.


    Seeing this, many demigods who were interested in befriending Li Yuan also tactfully left.


    ¡°Li Yuan, allow me to introduce you,¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile. ¡°This is Yue Shan, and this is Yang Di; you should recognize them, as they are both formidable figures from our Abyss Country.¡±


    A flash of surprise appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Yue Shan? Ranked eighth on the recently announced Semi-Divine List, he is a Saint Heir.


    Yang Di, though ranked three hundred or so, also possessed the strength of a Pseudo-God Middle Rank.


    ¡°Brother Li Yuan, I am Yue Shan,¡± said the demigod Yue Shan, a burly man with a forthright smile. ¡°I¡¯ve already heard from Sha Xi Pseudo-God and brother Jiang Shan about you. It¡¯s quite impressive that our Abyss Country has seen the rise of an extraordinary talent like you.¡±


    ¡°I am Yang Di.¡± The demigod Yang Di was not very loquacious.


    ¡°Brother Yue Shan, brother Yang Di,¡± Li Yuan greeted in return.


    Even in the Chaos Divine Court, a demigod who possessed the strength of a Pseudo-God Middle Rank would definitely qualify for the core ranks and was certainly not to be underestimated.


    ¡°The others?¡± Li Yuan surveyed the rest of the group. Most of them were demigods, and several were at the Flying Heaven Level, though they were all strangers to him.


    ¡°These are the strong fighters from our Abyss Country,¡± said the demigod Yue Shan with a smile. ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City is a gathering place for geniuses from various Divine Kingdoms and regions; the competition is fierce¡­ We all hail from Abyss Country. In the future, when we Ascend to God, we will either join the Law Enforcement Temple or return to our country¡¯s district. Naturally, we must help each other.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded unconsciously.


    Most of the formal members of Jue Xing Ancient City will not stay there for long¡­ These geniuses before him, although the prospect of becoming True Gods in the future is extremely slim, will mostly grow into Pseudo-God Peaks, and even among them, there are those likely to become Pseudo-God Limit Experts.


    A single genius is formidable enough.


    A group of geniuses banding together¡­ After several hundred or a thousand years, they would become a terrifying force within Abyss Country.


    It can be said that a considerable portion of Abyss Country¡¯s future high-level figures will be these geniuses here.


    This is how the families of Divine beings in Divine Kingdoms are succeeded generation after generation.


    And without a doubt, the leader of this group of geniuses is Yue Shan¡­ As a Saint Heir demigod, his prospects of becoming a True God are immensely high. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Ha ha, as newcomers to our Abyss Country, we previously thought we only had Jiang Shan and Beihong,¡± Yue Shan, the demigod, laughed. ¡°We never expected that Xu Yuan would suddenly emerge.¡±


    ¡°The first battle was against the First Saint of Flying Heaven.¡±


    ¡°In the future, I¡¯m afraid he has the potential to rival the King,¡± said the demigod Yue Shan earnestly.


    The other geniuses from Abyss Country also looked at Li Yuan with burning gazes.


    They were all utterly shocked when they received news about Li Yuan.


    Way too monstrous.


    Naturally, they all wanted to befriend Li Yuan.


    ¡°Xu Yuan,¡± Yue Shan, the demigod, boasted with a hearty laugh, ¡°Since you¡¯re new here today, let me be the host to welcome and refresh you. Everyone, come to my palace¡­ Let¡¯s have a good gathering, shall we?¡±


    ¡°Sure,¡± Li Yuan naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse.


    Yue Shan, the demigod, being ranked eighth on the Semi-Divine List of Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ Across the entire world, he¡¯s probably among the very top tier of demigods.


    In the battle for the Ancestral Realm in the future, he might just provide a helping hand.


    ¡°Ha ha, then let¡¯s go,¡± laughed Yue Shan, the demigod. ¡°Brothers and sisters, let¡¯s all go.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level reserve members have mansions that are 300 meters long and wide?¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine Level reserve members have mansions that are one kilometer long and wide?¡± Li Yuan looked at Yue Shan, the demigod¡¯s residence, and even the palace complex: ¡°All the Saint Heirs¡¯ palaces are five kilometers in length and width?¡±


    The living environment reveals the gaps in status between them.


    Half an hour later, in the palace of Yue Shan, numerous servants had already served up a vast array of delicious foods, which were extremely tasty, while musicians and dancers performed in the center of the great hall.


    ¡°Jue Xing points?¡± Li Yuan sat next to Yue Shan, the demigod, listening to him speak.


    Clearly, within the small group of Abyss Country geniuses, Li Yuan¡¯s status was tacitly acknowledged as comparable to that of Yue Shan, the demigod.


    Even though Li Yuan was only at the Flying Heaven Level, his strength inferior to that of any of these demigods.


    But the status of Saint Heir represents a different level of standing.


    ¡°Yes,¡± laughed Yue Shan, the demigod. ¡°Here in Jue Xing Ancient City, Divine Crystals are not as valuable as Jue Xing points. You can exchange Jue Xing points for Divine Crystals, but not the other way around¡­ Brother Xu Yuan, you are still at the Flying Heaven Level but possess extraordinary strength. It¡¯s the perfect time to complete more trial tasks and earn more Jue Xing points.¡±


    ¡°Many exotic treasures can only be obtained with Jue Xing points.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, once you break through to become a demigod, the difficulty of tasks will skyrocket, and it will be much harder to earn Jue Xing points,¡± Yue Shan, the demigod, said.


    Li Yuan nodded unconsciously.


    These are experiences¡­ After such a long conversation, he felt that Yue Shan, the demigod, seemed quite sincere towards him.


    However.


    At least for now, as Li Yuan looked around, the demigods and Flying Heaven talents in the hall appeared to be very enthusiastic and genuine towards him.


    ¡°Who can tell who is sincere and who is pretending?¡± Li Yuan thought calmly. ¡°But as long as I remain strong, what difference does it make whether they are pretentious or sincere?¡±


    Li Yuan knew very well in his heart that the status of Saint Heir? It¡¯s not important.


    The key is one¡¯s strength.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, Li Yuan was considered integrated into the circle and then proceeded to the palace prepared for him by the Divine Fire Hall.


    In terms of scale, it was no less grand than the palace of Yue Shan, the demigod.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡± Ten demigods led three hundred Flying Heaven level servant girls in deference as they respectfully saluted in the courtyard.


    Those Flying Heaven level servants even kneeled down.


    ¡°In my palace, there¡¯s no need to kneel down,¡± Li Yuan frowned and said, ¡°Just a normal salute will suffice.¡±

    ?Chapter 834: Chapter 431: Cultivation Holy Land! Murderer (Extra chapter for monthly tickets)_4 Chapter 834: Chapter 431: Cultivation Holy Land! Murderer (Extra chapter for monthly tickets)_4 Kneel? Li Yuan felt displeased in his heart.


    Moreover, Li Yuan did not like having too many servants, but this was the rule of Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ He even knew that these servants did not come from the outside world, but from some smaller worlds within Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Each Starry Sky Ancient City contains many small worlds, and some small worlds are exceedingly vast.


    These small worlds also give birth to a multitude of lives.


    ¡°Everyone, leave for now. Let things proceed as usual,¡± Li Yuan instructed, then directly flew into the Quiet Chamber.


    Inside, there was only a pristine Jade Platform, and in front of the platform, there was a green jade bottle placed.


    ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± Li Yuan waved his hand, breaking the seal of the jade bottle, and immediately smelled an invigorating aroma.


    Intoxicating.


    ¡°Red Spirit Flowing Fire Liquid? Truly treatment befitting a Saint Heir,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but reveal a hint of a smile.


    The cultivation in Divine Fire Hall mainly involves three aspects.


    First, the treasures, specifically provided for Flying Heaven Semi-Divine to nourish their souls and bodies with Exotic Treasures.


    Second, the heritage of methods, gathering the most Heavenly Divine and True God ultimate teachings in this world.


    Third, the distinguished mentors, it¡¯s extremely difficult to be accepted by a True God as a disciple in the divine nations on the continent, yet every month in Divine Fire Hall, True Gods come specifically to teach.


    Being a Saint Heir of the Divine Fire Hall, Li Yuan had many special privileges and resources.


    ¡°The Red Spirit Flowing Fire Liquid, exclusive to Saint Heirs, gifted once a month, used for nourishing the soul and improving comprehension, making the study of Laws more efficient,¡± Li Yuan inwardly noted.


    This treasure was much better than what other Reserve Members received.


    Of course.


    Li Yuan was still constantly refining an Origin Treasure ¡®Ling Yuan Bi Jade Fruit,¡¯ nowhere comparable to the Red Spirit Flowing Fire Liquid¡­ but why not make use of it if it¡¯s free, Li Yuan would not refuse.


    ¡°I can even choose three True Gods for guidance,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Other reserve members can only listen to the lectures of True Gods¡­other Saint Heirs might choose one True God to guide their cultivation.¡±


    ¡°But I can choose three.¡±


    Guidance from a True God, coming every month for focused mentorship¡­ What a luxurious affair.


    ¡°A thousand True God ultimate teachings at most is what I can comprehend.¡±


    ¡°I can apply for a maximum of three thousand Jue Xing Divine Pills¡­if I want more, I must specify the reason,¡± images of the resources he was entitled to floated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Way too extravagant.


    Compared to the time of Seven Star Civilization, it¡¯s like heaven and earth.


    ¡°Arrived on Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°Even if I didn¡¯t complete the Eternal Hall¡¯s trial missions, just practicing in Jue Xing Ancient City for several decades¡­it¡¯s a massive opportunity and blessing,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile, ¡°Dealing with Brother Jiang Yuan has paid off massively.¡±


    Li Yuan was well aware, if not for Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s protection, how could he so easily become a core genius of Jue Xing Ancient City?


    A dream!


    Any major power¡¯s first criterion in selecting geniuses is ¡®loyalty.¡¯


    If not loyal, the more outstanding the genius, the sooner they need to be eliminated.


    ¡°Trial mission?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved, and a huge screen appeared out of nowhere in the Quiet Chamber.


    On the screen were various details about Li Yuan.


    Such as the resources he could apply for, and various Flying Heaven Level trial missions he could accept.


    ¡°This seems quite easy,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile, ¡°Just as recommended by Semi-Divine Yue Shan, I will apply for some trial missions during my spare time.¡±

    On Jue Xing Continent, in Yuan Country Capital.


    Inside the Imperial Palace.


    ¡°King, it has been investigated out,¡± announced Nine Sounds True God in the highest temple, bending slightly, ¡°As you instructed, the first I went to check was the Black Blade True God¡­I can mostly confirm, the perpetrator of the assassination on Xu Yuan was ¡®Xing Chan Pseudo-God,¡¯ a subordinate of Black Blade True God.¡±


    ¡°Black Blade? That fool who hides in his den and dares not come out!!¡± Jiang Yuan True God sat on the high throne, his eyes full of coldness, ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely sure.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve secretly controlled different Pseudo-Gods, compared and sensed the soul aura, there is no mistake,¡± asserted Nine Sounds True God solemnly.


    She had quite the confidence in her achievements on the Soul Path.


    ¡°Mmm, Nine Sounds, you¡¯ve worked hard these days,¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke deeply, ¡°I have sent a message to Elder Gou Mu¡­ For the next period, you and Gou Mu will jointly guard the capital.¡±


    ¡°We guard?¡± Nine Sounds True God was startled, an ominous thought instantly flashing in her mind, she hastily asked, ¡°What about you, King?¡±


    ¡°Taking a trip to East Sea.¡±


    ¡°After so many years of not taking action, the divine beings of this world might have forgotten about my existence,¡± Jiang Yuan slowly stood up, an invisible pressure permeating, like a blazing sun making it hard to look directly: ¡°A mere Black Blade, I pitied him back then and did not continue the pursuit¡­after so many years, he even dares to send someone to assassinate an important genius under my command in my capital.¡±


    ¡°If not punished, how can I command respect.¡±


    ¡°Your Highness, but we don¡¯t have concrete evidence, the assassin left no traces,¡± Nine Sounds True God couldn¡¯t help but speak, ¡°Black Blade True God belongs to East Nether Sacred Land, if you act rashly, could it provoke a war?¡±


    Although East Nether Sacred Land is far inferior to Jue Xing Ancient City, it is still a major force.


    True Gods clashing, or invading the other¡¯s territory, everything is unpredictable.


    ¡°Evidence?¡±


    ¡°I want to kill, that is the evidence,¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s voice boomed, taking a step and disappearing within the temple.

 Chapter 835 - 835 432 Death of the Black Blade

    ?Chapter 835: Chapter 432: Death of the Black Blade Chapter 835: Chapter 432: Death of the Black Blade Black Blade Island spans nearly ten million miles, unimaginably vast, alongside many small islands, all part of the territory of the Black Blade Divine Kingdom.


    Black Blade Divine Kingdom, as one of the six core divine kingdoms of the East Nether Sacred Land, is nearly impregnable against foreign invaders; naturally, the Divine Country Capital has been relatively stable through the long years.


    But on this day, in the deep void above the Black Blade Divine Kingdom Capital, two figures appeared.


    One figure, clad in a black robe, had piercing eyes and exuded a profoundly domineering aura as he looked down at the Divine Country Capital below, saying indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s quite lively.¡±


    ¡°Far less than the Capital of Yuan Country,¡± added a young man clad in Purple Garment Combat Armor respectfully.


    Up until now, the youth in Purple Armor was still somewhat puzzled or curious about what their King intended to do.


    After all, the King had commanded him to follow but hadn¡¯t explained his intentions, only for them to end up traveling through the void to the East Sea.


    Black Blade Divine Kingdom?


    The youth in Purple Armor knew that the Black Blade True God was the King¡¯s enemy, but they had not confronted each other for hundreds of years.


    ¡°Shi Lin, once we engage in combat, do your best to seal the void, preventing this area¡¯s transmission array from functioning,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said indifferently. ¡°Leave the rest to me.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God commanded several True Gods, each skilled in different areas; for instance, Nine Sounds True God specialized in the Soul Path, whereas Shi Lin excelled in ¡®World Direction¡¯ within the Space Law.


    The Space Law, boundless and endless, is so vast that even the mightiest Heavenly Divine can only control parts of it, let alone a True God.


    Like World Direction, there are many branches, some of which, after enlightenment, can make one¡¯s domain extremely powerful¡ªhaving a domain as a world itself; while others may control ¡®Space Seal,¡¯ nullifying methods like ripping space, space transmission, and void shifting.


    Jiang Yuan True God, although mighty, was inferior to Shi Lin in space sealing, which is why he brought him along. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Engage in combat?¡± The Purple Garment youth was startled, suddenly realizing the King¡¯s plans.


    Was this an initiation of war with the Black Blade True God?


    But this is the Divine Capital of the Black Blade Divine Kingdom, the lair of the Black Blade True God! To take the offensive directly to them?


    ¡°King, are we going to launch a surprise attack?¡± Shi Lin True God asked, his eyes flickering with excitement.


    Though shocked by Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s decision, his utmost admiration for Jiang Yuan True God soon turned that shock into boundless excitement, willingly launching an attack into another¡¯s divine capital.


    Such audacity.


    ¡°A surprise attack?¡±


    ¡°To kill one Black Blade, why resort to a surprise attack?¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Today, I intend to do this openly, using his blood to warn all of heaven and earth.¡±


    With that said.


    Whoosh!


    Jiang Yuan True God stepped forward, and his entire being seemed to surge majestically, emitting a life breath that began to soar violently. A towering black flame emerged in the void, spreading hundreds of kilometers, like a bizarre star suddenly expanding, making the unknown world turn dark, with the surrounding void beginning to solidify layer by layer.


    A terrifying might enveloped the entire world, and also overshadowed the expanses of Black Blade City below.


    At this moment.


    Throughout the world, Jiang Yuan True God was like the absolute Sovereign¡­ His terrifying presence even made Shi Lin True God gasp.


    Too formidable.


    Too powerful.


    ¡°King, you have become even more powerful than before!¡± Shi Lin True God¡¯s eyes gleamed with frenzied admiration.


    Why did he choose to follow Jiang Yuan True God? Because Jiang Yuan True God was powerful, acted with dominance, and protected his own.


    At this moment, in Shi Lin¡¯s perception, Jiang Yuan True God, as hot and endless as a sun, seemed somewhat akin to the Heavenly Divines he had seen before.


    ¡°Could it be, the King has reached the Heavenly Divine level?¡± The thought crossed Shi Lin¡¯s mind, but he immediately dismissed it: ¡°No! That can¡¯t be right. If true godhood was achieved, mastering the Great Dao, mastering heaven and earth¡­ it would naturally be possible to seal the void, no need for me.¡±


    However, regardless, the might of Jiang Yuan True God was beyond doubt.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± While many thoughts flickered through Shi Lin¡¯s mind, his actions did not slow down.


    The moment Jiang Yuan True God erupted, the void within tens of thousands of kilometers condensed and enveloped with an invisible fluctuation, making spatial shifting impossible.


    Space Seal!


    ¡­


    Inside Black Blade City, countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divine, some in concealed cultivation, some flying, and some indulging in transactional pleasure in cave taverns¡­ life went on as it had for thousands of previous years.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The world seemed to ripple, and a terrifying pressure descended instantly, engulfing the entire Black Blade City. The pressure reached even past the Capital Array, causing countless Souls of the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine to thunder and eyes to darken, losing consciousness.


    The disparity in Life Level was too great.


    This was the might of the Heavenly God level, capable¡ªeven from thousands of kilometers away, unseen¡ªof merely affecting and making countless semi-divines unconscious.


    If Jiang Yuan True God wished, he could have already obliterated the countless divine beings¡¯ souls below in Black Blade City.


    ¡°Boom boom~¡± The vast Black Blade City, reacting belatedly, various arrays and prohibitions began to activate, emitting brilliant light from towering walls and palace residences in the city, soaring into the sky.


    Formation activated!


    Like a colossal War Fortress fully waking up, and simultaneously within Black Blade City, each Pseudo-God began flying into various prohibitions, sensing the towering figure in the void.


    The presence was so overwhelming it nearly suffocated them.


    ¡°Heavenly Divine?¡±


    ¡°Could it be a Heavenly Divine?¡± The thousands of Pseudo-Gods within Black Blade City were now thoroughly panicked.

 Chapter 836 - 836 432 Death of the Black Blade_2

    ?Chapter 836: Chapter 432: Death of the Black Blade_2 Chapter 836: Chapter 432: Death of the Black Blade_2 This terrifying aura made their hearts tremble.


    Even though there were thousands of Pseudo-Gods, each presiding over their own Formation restrictions, theoretically capable of defeating a True God with ease¡­ faced with that vague figure whose aura was unmatched and majestic, they all felt a chill of fear.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, how dare you!!¡± An enraged roar echoed through heaven and earth, followed by the emergence of a figure in a black robe atop the highest point of Black Blade City.


    His aura was also vast and mighty, with a swirling black mist composed of endless scales beneath him.


    The Black Blade True God!


    ¡°The King has arrived.¡±


    ¡°The King is here! With the Formation, we should be able to stop Jiang Yuan True God.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Yuan True God is known as the first War God of Jue Xing Ancient City, a peerless being closest to a Heavenly Divine in the world¡­ the King is strong, but I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s still much weaker.¡± Thousands of Pseudo-Gods of the Black Blade True God had many thoughts.


    Putting aside everything else, these Pseudo-Gods could clearly sense that, despite the reinforcement by layer upon layer of Formations, the aura emanated by the Black Blade True God is still obviously inferior to that of Jiang Yuan True God.


    This also brought to many Pseudo-Gods¡¯ minds numerous legends about Jiang Yuan True God.


    It was a reputation forged by endless Slaughter!


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, this is the Territory of the East Nether Sacred Land, the heart of the Holy Land, the very Divine Country. How dare you?¡± The Black Blade True God burst out angrily, roaring: ¡°Leave at once.¡±


    In reality, there was a trace of panic in the heart of the Black Blade True God.


    He had not expected Jiang Yuan True God to dare to directly attack his stronghold¡­ And most crucially, the aura that Jiang Yuan True God was emitting truly made one¡¯s heart tremble.


    It seemed to have become even stronger.


    ¡°Black Blade!¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s voice was cold, reverberating across heaven and earth: ¡°I am here today to punish you for sending Xing Chan Pseudo-God to assassinate my genius Xu Yuan.¡±


    These words immediately sparked speculation among the thousands of Pseudo-Gods of the Black Blade Divine Kingdom.


    Assassination?


    Although most of these Pseudo-Gods were still unaware of who Xu Yuan was, they roughly understood why Jiang Yuan True God had come knocking on their door.


    ¡°Bullshit!¡± The Black Blade True God snarled, his voice thunderous: ¡°You say I assassinated Xu Yuan; what proof do you have?¡±


    The Black Blade True God had made up his mind not to admit to it.


    As long as he did not admit it, Black Blade True God did not believe Jiang Yuan True God held any conclusive evidence.


    ¡°Black Blade!¡±


    ¡°Did you not hear me clearly? I am not here to argue about evidence with you,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God, his voice as cold as ever: ¡°I am here to punish you! I am only responsible for punishment!¡±


    Boom!


    With another step forward, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s body swelled rapidly, reaching a thousand zhang in height, his Life Breath climbing to an unbelievable extent, causing the sky and earth to change color.


    The Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique!


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Yuan True God hadn¡¯t even used the Body Refining Star Technique before? What?¡± The group of Pseudo-Gods was somewhat dumbfounded, as just the Divine Body of Jiang Yuan True God was already making them tremble.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, Jiang Yuan True God stretched out his right hand. His palm rapidly expanded, vast and mighty, tearing through the void. His five fingers, like pillars of the heavens, surrounded by strands of black Fire, emanated an aura of endless destructive power.


    Overshadowing the sun, he struck directly at the Black Blade True God in the void.


    ¡°Activate the Formation.¡±


    ¡°The Capital Array! Initiate.¡± Although the Black Blade True God was shocked that Jiang Yuan True God dared to make a move directly, he was also filled with confidence.


    This was his stronghold that he had been operating for thousands of years.


    ¡°Combine Formation.¡±


    ¡°Origin Power Array, condense!¡± Under the command of the Black Blade True God, the multiple layers of Formation restrictions laid out over thousands of years throughout the Royal Capital were instantly activated.


    One must know, the stronghold of the Black Blade True God was imagined to withstand the great enemy that was the Black Blade True God himself.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Based in the Divine Country Capital, with thousands of Pseudo-Gods as pillars, and the Black Blade True God at the head¡­ in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a terrifying Black Dragon stretching thousands of kilometers long.


    The dragon¡¯s head was the Black Blade True God, with a vast oppressive Might radiating.


    ¡°Such strong pressure, can the King win?¡± The face of Shi Lin True God changed slightly, it was simply too frightening.


    If it were himself, Shi Lin True God felt that he would be defeated by that terrifying black dragon in just one move.


    ¡°I refuse to believe that in my own lair, I would be defeated by you.¡± Black Blade True God¡¯s will to fight soared to the heavens.


    ¡°Roar!¡±


    Boom~ The black dragon erupted with a sky-shaking roar, opened its huge mouth, and its claws fluttered as it charged directly towards Jiang Yuan True God with endless might.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The palm that blotted out the sky and its five fingers collided with the gigantic dragon head in an instant.


    But against everyone¡¯s expectations, that huge palm instantly smacked the dragon head backward, flying away as if space itself was under layers of pressure, causing countless cracks to appear on the black dragon¡¯s body.


    ¡°No!¡± Black Blade True God only felt an overwhelming might coming at him like a torrential wave, and the black dragon, condensed by the capital¡¯s array under his command, had already dissipated by a great deal.


    ¡°Pfft~¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± One after another, the various restrictions within the capital burst instantly like bubbles. The majority of the Pseudo-Gods inside suffered heavy injuries from the shockwave, and a few of the weaker ones died instantly, their bodies exploding.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Just a fraction of the shockwave from the collision was enough to shake the entire Black Blade Divine Kingdom Capital. The bustling streets within the city cracked open, countless buildings collapsed, and an unknown number of unconscious Flying Heaven Semi-Divine perished.


    One exchange led to a heaven-collapsing, earth-shattering outcome.


    ¡°To think you could block my palm?¡± Jiang Yuan True God frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his own attack.


    ¡°This! This!¡± Shi Lin True God was already speechless with amazement.


    He knew that their King was powerful, but he never imagined the King could be so mightily strong.


    Just one move obliterated the true might wielded by the Black Blade True God who commanded over a thousand Pseudo-Gods?


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, has your strength already reached the Heavenly God Level?¡± Black Blade True God was completely chilled with fear.


    Only a being at the Heavenly God Level could defeat his capital¡¯s array in a single move.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    But Jiang Yuan True God simply couldn¡¯t care less about him and struck out another palm, traversing heaven and earth, once more fiercely smacking towards Black Blade True God.


    ¡°Condense.¡±


    ¡°Block it!!¡± Black Blade True God gritted his teeth as he once again gathered the remaining might of the array. The significantly weakened black dragon once again strained to resist Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Yet another terrifying collision. Finally, the capital¡¯s array could no longer withstand it, and the black dragon that stretched for thousands of kilometers completely disintegrated.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± A large number of Pseudo-Gods¡¯ bodies exploded, and numerous floating palaces above the capital started to plummet.


    A scene of utter destruction.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s gaze was icy cold, indifferent to everything, as he swung his giant palm to envelop once again.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan! You have such nerve; do you want to provoke a war between the East Nether Sacred Land and Jue Xing Ancient City?¡± Black Blade True God had completely lost his nerve; he also couldn¡¯t comprehend how in just a few hundred years, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s strength had surged to such a terrifying extent.


    The peak of True God and the level of heavenly divinity were two completely different concepts!


    Like a Heavenly God, the baseline is the awakening of the Seven Star Veins and the control of one Great Dao, also demanding an extremely high level of Space Law Comprehension.


    How hard is it for a True God to contend with a Heavenly God? Even in the Divine Realm, only the top geniuses have a chance to reach it.


    Swoosh!


    Black Blade True God fled like lightning backward; he dared not confront the gigantic palm head-on.


    But how could he escape? He was almost instantly caught up in the pursuit.


    ¡°Boom!¡± With a heavy slap of the palm, even though Black Blade True God tried his best to resist, without the array¡¯s enhancement, his body almost exploded, his Divine Heart suffered from countless cracks, and he was severely injured.


    At this moment.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Ripples spread through the void, and a vague figure emerged from the void ten thousand kilometers away, followed by a torrential oppression spreading out.


    This oppressive force was no less powerful than that of Jiang Yuan True God when he exploded with might, even stronger.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, stop!¡± A roar of anger echoed throughout heaven and earth. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 837 - 837 433 The Name of Jiang Yuan Li Yuans

    ?Chapter 837: Chapter 433: The Name of Jiang Yuan! Li Yuan¡¯s Cultivation Chapter 837: Chapter 433: The Name of Jiang Yuan! Li Yuan¡¯s Cultivation At the ends of heaven and earth, that blurred figure gradually solidified into reality, revealing a figure in a misty, azure robe whose emanating pressure was even stronger than that of Jiang Yuan True God.


    But at this moment, the azure-robed figure had an extremely livid complexion.


    He was none other than the supreme being of the East Nether Sacred Land¡ªEast Sovereign! He was also an existence at the level of a Heavenly Divine.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, your strength may be formidable indeed, reigning supreme among True Gods, yet you dare speak of war before me?¡± East Sovereign¡¯s voice was ice-cold, filled with a terrifying murderous intent: ¡°Today, this matter will not end easily.¡±


    East Sovereign was filled with fury.


    He received a plea for help from the Black Blade True God at the very first moment and prepared to teleport over¡­ only to discover that space had been sealed, and the transmission arrays that his East Nether Sacred Land had established couldn¡¯t be used as they were not of a sufficiently high level to break through the space seal.


    Having no choice, he immediately utilized Void Shifting and arrived in this void¡­ To Void Shift without any guide meant that the target location couldn¡¯t be precisely targeted.


    After two Void Shifts, by the time he arrived, Black Blade True God was nearly falling.


    He was both shocked by the terrifying strength revealed by Jiang Yuan True God and enraged by the other¡¯s defiance against him.


    Heavenly Divine!


    As one of the pinnacle existences of this heaven and earth, they too have their pride.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    He suddenly lifted his hand, and an invisible fluctuation swept by, tearing apart the space seal of thousands of kilometers around, his invisible might urgently pressing upon the region controlled by Jiang Yuan True God, the two engaged in an invisible struggle and contest for spatial control.


    For a moment, East Sovereign actually felt that he could not subdue Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Subdue!¡± East Sovereign suddenly roared in a low voice, finally going all out.


    ¡°Boom~¡± With East Sovereign at the center, space itself seemed to violently tremble, with streams of azure flows emerging in the void. These flows encircled him, making him seem like the sovereign of heaven and earth, as if the Origin of the Great Dao itself had descended.


    Control the Dao of Heaven and Earth!


    This was the might and divine skill possessed by one who has deeply comprehended a Great Dao, a technique that could almost sweep away all True Gods.


    Woosh~ As if effortlessly, wherever those azure streams went, space immediately became absolutely solidified, aggressively eroding towards the region Jiang Yuan True God was in, simply unstoppable.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°King, spatial fluctuations have solidified; I¡¯m afraid even void shifting talismans can¡¯t be used.¡± Shi Lin True God felt a hint of panic as he had a high comprehension of Space Law, and immediately sensed the change.


    ¡°What is there to panic about?¡± Jiang Yuan True God still looked indifferent, allowing the endless azure streams to erode towards him.


    By the time they came within a few hundred kilometers of him and Shi Lin True God.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Suddenly, a Combat Saber appeared in Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s hand, the saber emitting an endlessly terrifying presence, scattering in all directions as if an unparalleled ferocious beast was awakening.


    ¡°Void Split!¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes showed a trace of terrifying murderous intent as he swung the Combat Saber.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The light of the saber appeared!


    Instantly, a visible, terrifying spatial rift emerged in the void, extending thousands of kilometers from Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s position in the blink of an eye, as if heaven and earth were torn in half¡­ heading straight for East Sovereign at the ends of heaven and earth.


    If Li Yuan were here, he would be shocked to find that the move Jiang Yuan True God was using was definitely of the same origin as the technique performed by Anchi Heavenly God he had seen in the Mirror of Laws.


    Even more so, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s saber light¡­ was more exaggerated, more terrifying.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Where the saber light passed, the void trembled layer by layer, and countless fine spatial cracks appeared in places invisible to the naked eye, like ripples in water, causing the countless azure streams to be slain instantly, no longer able to invade within thousands of kilometers around Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Yet East Sovereign, after all, was a True God. With both palms controlling heaven and earth, he directly transformed into endless azure light, which surged like tides, effortlessly weakening and resisting Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s formidable saber strike.


    But his expression had changed from rage to astonishment.


    He had never thought that, even going all out, Jiang Yuan True God would easily break through his Control of the Dao of Heaven and Earth¡­ This made him calm down quickly.


    His original intention was to capture Jiang Yuan, then have Jue Xing Ancient City explain to him.


    But now, all signs have proved.


    Jiang Yuan might not be as strong as him, but indeed possessed the real power comparable to a Heavenly Divine, and it was impossible to capture him in a short time.


    And in the process of their fight¡­ as long as Jiang Yuan True God was willing, support from Jue Xing Ancient City would definitely arrive.


    Thinking of this.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, your strength is indeed strong, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, you are probably the strongest True God born in our part of heaven and earth.¡± East Sovereign looked at Jiang Yuan True God, his voice deep: ¡°But this is not a reason for you to act so recklessly; you must give me an explanation.¡±


    East Sovereign¡¯s words seemed strong, but in fact, they had already weakened quite a bit.


    ¡°An explanation?¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s voice was cold, echoing through heaven and earth: ¡°East Sovereign, out of respect for you being the lord of a Sacred Land, I shall say it again, my killing Black Blade was because he attempted to assassinate my talented subordinate ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Where is the evidence?¡± East Sovereign asked deeply.


    ¡°I, Jiang Yuan, do not need to fabricate a false reason to kill a Black Blade.¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked directly at him, coldly saying, ¡°My word is the evidence.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, with the grudge between me and Black Blade, even if I killed him, no one would be able to say anything.¡±


    East Sovereign was momentarily choked up.


    But he had also completely calmed down, indeed, back in the day, the enmity between Jiang Yuan True God and Black Blade True God was immense¡­ With the power that Jiang Yuan True God possessed, even if he struck down Black Blade, he would likely receive support from Jue Xing Ancient City.


    After a long while.


    East Sovereign¡¯s gaze flickered, he said deeply, ¡°Jiang Yuan, now that you have the strength of a Heavenly Divine, I can no longer treat you as a mere True God¡­ A Heavenly Divine has the rules of a Heavenly Divine, which should not be easily violated when dealing with True Gods.¡±


    ¡°You killed Black Blade, this one time only.¡±


    ¡°If you dare to enter the territory of East Nether Sacred Land again and recklessly attack the True Gods of East Nether Sacred Land, you are forcing me to wage war,¡± the Eastern Sovereign said in a deep voice, resounding through heaven and earth.


    ¡°Powerful beings cannot be provoked,¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke coldly. ¡°I will not bully the weak, but let me also warn the divines under your command¡­ My Royal Capital is off-limits.¡±


    ¡°If any dares to act against it, or attempts any small tricks, and once discovered by me again.¡±


    ¡°They will die!¡±


    As his words fell,


    Buzz~ Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s figure blurred, and then he disappeared into the void along with Shi Lin True God.


    Evidently, they have left using Void Shifting.


    The Eastern Sovereign¡¯s complexion was stern, but he did not stop them. He was well aware that although he appeared to still have the upper hand today¡­ failing to capture Jiang Yuan True God as a Heavenly Divine against a True God was already a failure.


    This battle!


    Jiang Yuan True God is destined to become famous throughout the world, stepping over the face of the Eastern Sovereign¡­ Similarly, the death of Black Blade True God will certainly send chills down the spines of countless True Gods in the entire world.


    The deterrence of Jiang Yuan True God and Yuan Country Capital would both rapidly escalate. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan,¡±


    The Eastern Sovereign¡¯s eyes flickered, his heart filled with rage, but he had his own considerations: ¡°Now, possessing such strength, if he breaks through to Ascend to Heavenly God and takes control of Inheritance Divine Artifacts¡­ he might be able to break through East Nether World.¡±


    The Six Great Holy Lands are able to survive under the pressure of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, even occupying vast territories, not only because the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities are restraining each other.


    The most important thing is strength.


    Most possess the formidable power that the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities find difficult to extinguish¡­ but this kind of power is not absolutely secure.


    Over the long years, the Holy Lands destroyed by the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities are numerous.


    In a certain era, if a Starry Sky Ancient City gives birth to a fearsome Heavenly Divine, it could potentially annihilate a so-called Holy Land.


    ¡°Sigh!¡±


    The Eastern Sovereign glanced at the Black Blade Divine Kingdom Capital below that looked like the apocalypse, furrowed his brows, and disappeared at the end of the world.


    Not long after, several True Gods of East Nether Sacred Land along with a large number of Pseudo-Gods arrived¡­ With the fall of Black Blade True God, naturally, East Nether Sacred Land had to take over again.


    ¡­


    In Jue Xing Ancient City, within the inner city, in the Hall of Myriad Laws.


    Within a Quiet Chamber full of starlight, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, surrounded by a vast and invisible fluctuation.


    He had just chosen a Mirror of Laws.


    The Mirror of Laws is the condensation of part of a Heavenly Divine¡¯s soul, including some comprehension¡­ A Heavenly Divine¡¯s comprehension must contain one of the Basic Laws of the Great Dao, as well as some Space Law Comprehension.


    The Mirror of Laws given to Li Yuan by Anchi Heavenly God contained the comprehension of the Fire Law and Space Comprehension.


    And this time, the one Li Yuan chose was naturally the Mirror of Laws containing the Law of Earth and Space Law.


    Whoosh~


    Scenes rushed at Li Yuan¡¯s soul like a tide, overwhelming his consciousness, forcing him to immerse completely.


    ¡°Rumble¡±


    This was the lonely and vast void, and a stunningly beautiful woman in simple robes stood in the void.


    Her gaze was cold as she glanced into the distance, a look that made Li Yuan¡¯s soul tremble.


    It was as if, across the vast stretches of time, the Heavenly Divine who left behind the Mirror of Laws could still sense his existence.


    Whoosh! The stunning woman pointed towards the void.


    ¡°My name is Bai He!¡±


    Whoosh~


    Her fingertip traced across the heavens and earth, thousands of miles of void boiled instantaneously, space tore apart, and countless surging earth-yellow streams flowed out from the space rifts; these were all the Origin Power of earth and heaven.


    A massive amount of Earth Origin Power quickly condensed to form a complete world.


    Mountains, earth, rivers, deserts, grasslands¡­ A complete miniature world unfolded before Li Yuan.


    ¡°The evolution of a world.¡±


    ¡°Earth upholds all things with its abundant virtue.¡±


    ¡°To carry! Stars, the origin of life.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with awe as he felt massive Mysteries of the Laws from the evolution of this world.


    He also comprehended the ultimate aspect of the Law of Earth!


    ¡°This Bai He Heavenly God, the law she is applying, must be the integration of the complete Law of Earth and ¡®Spatial World¡¯¡­ The creation of the Void, the separation of heaven and earth.¡± Li Yuan continuously absorbed these insights.


    This was a comprehension completely different from that of Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s Mirror of Laws.


    But for Li Yuan, the effect was even better.


    His Law Comprehension of both Space Law and the Law of Earth was constantly improving.


    ¡­


    A few days later, Li Yuan finally returned to his senses, said farewell to the guarding True God, and flew out of the Hall of Myriad Laws.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    As soon as he flew out of the Hall of Myriad Laws, Li Yuan sensed a vast number of messages in his Communication Treasure.


    He immediately began to check them.


    Jiang Shan¡¯s message was the most straightforward, ¡°Xu Yuan, the news has just spread, the King entered East Nether Sacred Land territory and assassinated the scheme commanders Black Blade True God, engaging in combat with a Heavenly Divine¡­ This news has spread throughout the entire continent.¡±

    ?Chapter 838: Chapter 434: Time! Rapid Growth Chapter 838: Chapter 434: Time! Rapid Growth Not only Jiang Shan, but also new acquaintances of Abyss Country¡¯s Semi-Divine geniuses like Yang Di and Yue Shan, and even True God Chi Yang have sent the same message. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They all spoke of this matter.


    Especially the message from True God Chi Yang, which allowed Li Yuan to better understand the entire affair.


    ¡°Brother Jiang Yuan?¡± Li Yuan was also shocked by this news.


    Although the East Nether Sacred Land is far inferior to Jue Xing Ancient City, being able to rank among the Six Great Holy Lands and maintaining long-standing independence under the pressure of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities is enough to prove its formidable strength.


    And Black Blade True God, although Li Yuan did not know much, also knew that Black Blade Divine Kingdom was one of the core divine kingdoms within the East Nether Sacred Land¡­ This indicates that Black Blade True God should at least be at the peak of True God.


    And True God Jiang Yuan, was he really able to infiltrate the Black Blade Divine Kingdom Capital in East Nether Sacred Land and directly kill?


    And he escaped from the Heavenly Divine of East Nether Sacred Land unscathed?


    What kind of power is this?


    ¡°Brother, your informal senior brother is indeed formidable,¡± Gu You suddenly spoke up with a hint of amazement: ¡°A True God being able to do this is definitely one of those top True Gods¡­ In the vastness of the nine thousand star domains of the Divine Realm, it¡¯s incredible how rare it would be to find many who could compete with him!!¡±


    ¡°Once he steps into the Heavenly God Realm, he will probably be at the peak of Heavenly Gods, or even stronger,¡± said Gu You.


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, are all the top ones?¡± Li Yuan pondered silently but couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°In the Divine Realm, are there no True Gods who can contend with the peak of Heavenly Gods?¡±


    ¡°Haha, few! It is extremely rare in history,¡± Gu You laughed: ¡°I understand your thoughts, like Flying Heaven, the most defiant in the Divine Realm could reach the threshold of Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine, some defy limits and could reach the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    ¡°But what do you think, the top level of Pseudo-God could reach?¡± Gu You directly asked.


    ¡°Peak of True God?¡± Li Yuan hesitated.


    ¡°Wrong!¡±


    ¡°In Pseudo-Gods who are powerful, the strength is just at the Initial Rank of True God,¡± Gu You laughed: ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised! The real unparalleled monsters won¡¯t stay long in the Pseudo-God Realm.¡±


    ¡°Staying as Flying Heaven Semi-Divine is to lay the foundation.¡±


    ¡°But as soon as the Law Comprehension is sufficient, not many people will continue to stay at the Pseudo-God or True God stages¡­ Thus, since ancient times, those most monster-like Heavenly Gods in the Divine Realm had all directly Ascend to Gods, consolidating briefly in the True God Stage, and once they comprehend the complete Great Dao they would reach Heavenly God,¡± Gu You explained.


    Li Yuan now understood.


    Theoretically, some exceptional geniuses, during the True God stage, could even slay Heavenly Divine¡­ but such geniuses had already Ascended to Heavenly God.


    Just like True God Jiang Yuan.


    To have such power, the skills he deployed must be extraordinarily special among Heavenly Gods.


    With such a high realm, further comprehending the Great Dao Laws left a substantial chance for a breakthrough.


    ¡°Of course, there are also some very special Pseudo-Gods and True Gods in the Divine Realm, with extremely high Law Comprehension who still cannot break through,¡± Gu You added: ¡°Those are the Five-Star Meridian Pseudo-Gods and Six-Star Meridian True Gods.¡±


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    Five-Star Meridian is the baseline requirement for Becoming Pseudo-God.


    Six-Star Meridian is the baseline requirement for True God.


    ¡°The Star Meridians are too weak.¡±


    ¡°Allowing them to evolve their Soul Comprehension and Law Comprehension after Ascending to God, yet still unable to break through the shackles¡­ Like in the Divine Realm, there once was a once-in-a-lifetime genius named ¡®Man Huo¡¯, who during his True God period comprehended four Great Daos,¡± Gu You lamented: ¡°His realm was higher than most Heavenly Gods, and the unique skills he created were top-notch among Heavenly Gods¡­ Nonetheless, he was still confined to the True God Realm and died when the lifespan limit of thirty thousand years arrived.¡±


    Li Yuan was dumbfounded.


    Awakening Star Meridian, Law Comprehension, and Soul Cultivation Level are all closely related.


    Thus, Six Star Meridian True Gods, by reason, have Law Talent and Soul Will talent that are below average among countless True Gods¡­ yet they managed to achieve such great success.


    Indeed rare!


    Nevertheless, in the vast Divine Realm, across endless ages¡­ such unfathomable and monstrous beings will always emerge.


    ¡°Man Huo?¡± Li Yuan silently noted down the name.


    §¡fter reviewing all the messages received.


    Li Yuan thought for a moment, then sent a message of thanks to True God Jiang Yuan, explaining why he hadn¡¯t responded in the past few days.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had just returned to his residence in the Divine Fire Hall when he received a transmission from True God Jiang Yuan.


    ¡°Junior brother, come to my Law Enforcement Temple,¡± True God Jiang Yuan directly messaged.


    True God Jiang Yuan, apart from being the King of Abyss Country, is also the ¡®Hall Master¡¯ of the Law Enforcement Temple of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan immediately rushed over.


    The Law Enforcement Temple was also located in the outer city, but it occupied a much larger area with successive palace buildings filled with solemnity, guarded by many Jue Xing guards at the door.


    As soon as Li Yuan landed at the entrance of the Law Enforcement Temple.


    ¡°Greetings to Saint Heir Xu Yuan.¡± The leading Jue Xing Commander swiftly stepped forward, slightly bowed, and smiled: ¡°Saint Heir Xu Yuan, His Highness has already informed us, you can directly enter the Main Hall upon your arrival, I will lead the way.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two immediately flew towards the depths of the palace.


    This scene made the distant Jue Xing guards start communicating through transmissions.


    ¡°Hu Shan Commander, who is usually so proud. Even when other True Gods come, he doesn¡¯t care at all, why does he care so much about a Saint Heir?¡± some Jue Xing guards wondered.


    ¡°Fool!¡±


    ¡°When other True Gods come to our Law Enforcement Temple, what for? It is always because they violated the laws of the Ancient City; Hu Shan Commander naturally doesn¡¯t care, he only deals with foreigners seeking help from our Law Enforcement Temple,¡± another Jue Xing guard transmitted:¡± But today, it¡¯s Saint Heir Xu Yuan coming.¡±


    ¡°A few days ago, the Hall Master fought with a Heavenly Divine for Saint Heir Xu Yuan, which shows the place Saint Heir Xu Yuan holds in the heart of the Hall Master¡­ But I did not recognize Saint Heir Xu Yuan just now.¡±

 Chapter 839 - 839 434 Years Rapid Growth_2

    ?Chapter 839: Chapter 434: Years! Rapid Growth_2 Chapter 839: Chapter 434: Years! Rapid Growth_2 ¡°Hu Shan Commander recognized the identity of Saint Heir Xu Yuan at a glance, probably having prepared in advance, no wonder he could serve as a commander¡­¡±


    A group of Jue Xing guards communicated to each other telepathically.


    They were inside the Law Enforcement Temple, seemingly just patrolling¡­ If they were to inspect among the eight hundred Divine Kingdoms of the Lower Realm, that would make them ¡®Ancient City Envoys¡¯, naturally imposing and awe-inspiring.


    ¡­


    ¡°Saint Heir Xu Yuan, my name is Hu Shan, and this is my Communication Token.¡± Hu Shan Commander said with a smile: ¡°If the Saint Heir has any needs within the Law Enforcement Temple in the future, just send me a message first, I might not be able to handle big matters¡­ but finding some information for the Saint Heir, asking around for some connections, that I can do.¡±


    ¡°Very well, I¡¯ll trouble Commander Hu Shan then.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, accepting the Token.


    He certainly couldn¡¯t trouble Jiang Yuan True God for everything.


    Befriending a Commander of the Law Enforcement Temple¡­ might come in handy at times.


    ¡°Saint Heir, the Hall Master is in the great hall,¡± Hu Shan Commander said: ¡°You can go in directly, I won¡¯t accompany you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, flashed through the corridor, and entered the hall.


    This hall wasn¡¯t very large; its four walls were inscribed with numerous murals, and these murals were filled with countless fire patterns, as if numerous flames were burning.


    Standing within the hall, one could feel the scorching heat of these flames.


    ¡°King,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully, not addressing him as ¡®senior brother¡¯ because aside from Jiang Yuan True God.


    There were two other True Gods.


    One was clad in thick earth-yellow Combat Armor, looking like a War God, his aura robust and vast.


    The other was a woman in green robes, her smile warm and gentle, looking at Li Yuan with interest.


    ¡°Xu Yuan,¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke directly: ¡°Come, let me introduce you. This is Star God Xing Huan, a True God who comprehends the Law of Earth.¡±


    ¡°This is Heavenly Divine Piao Xia, a True God who comprehends the Wind Law.¡±


    ¡°Star God Xing Huan, Heavenly Divine Piao Xia,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight bow, his heart stirring.


    Law of Earth? Wind Law? What a coincidence?


    Star God Xing Huan and Heavenly Divine Piao Xia also nodded slightly at Li Yuan, seemingly observing him.


    ¡°By the rules,¡±


    ¡°As a Saint Heir and at the Seventh Rank, three True God mentors should guide your cultivation,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°So I have invited two True Gods here. In the time to come, they will guide you in comprehending the Wind Law and the Law of Earth for your cultivation, how does that sound?¡±


    Teacher?


    As expected!


    ¡°I will follow the King¡¯s arrangements,¡± said Li Yuan respectfully, since Jiang Yuan True God had made such arrangements, there must be a deep meaning, just follow the arrangements.


    ¡°Good, then aren¡¯t you going to call them teacher?¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Teacher Xing Huan, Teacher Piao Xia,¡± Li Yuan said immediately.


    ¡°The Saint Heir Xu Yuan needn¡¯t be so formal, we¡¯re also just invited by the Deputy City Lord, and not really taking on a disciple,¡± said the green-robed woman Piao Xia True God with a smile: ¡°We only hope that under our guidance, you can become another towering pillar for Jue Xing Ancient City in the future.¡±


    ¡°I feel the same,¡± Star God Xing Huan said with a thunderous voice, seeming not very gifted in conversation.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°The two of you, then let¡¯s agree, apart from when Li Yuan is out on a training mission, you will both go and guide Xu Yuan once a month,¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke in a low tone: ¡°At least until the battle at the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    Star God Xing Huan and Heavenly Divine Piao Xia exchanged a glance.


    They weren¡¯t fools, they immediately understood from Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s words, was Jiang Yuan True God hoping that Xu Yuan would enter the battle of the Ancestral Realm?


    But Xu Yuan was clearly only at the Flying Heaven Realm.


    However, this was obviously not something for them to consider, so they both bowed slightly and said: ¡°Yes, Deputy City Lord.¡±

    The two great True Gods left directly, leaving only Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan True God in the hall.


    ¡°Senior brother,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°They address you as Deputy City Lord?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Today, the ¡®Tai You Heavenly God¡¯ City Lord just ordered, appointing me as the second Deputy City Lord of Jue Xing Ancient City,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile: ¡°If I wasn¡¯t the Deputy City Lord, how could I have invited these two True Gods?¡±


    The second Deputy City Lord?


    Li Yuan immediately understood, in public there should be two Heavenly Divines in Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ whether there were more in private, that was unknown.


    ¡°This time, it was a risk for my senior brother,¡± said Li Yuan directly.


    ¡°Between us, there¡¯s no need to speak of such things. If we really want to talk about it, it is I who owe you,¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head: ¡°Your assassination was due to me; that Black Edge True God has a grudge against me¡­ He was targeting me, I didn¡¯t expect him to be so bold, and if not for your own strength being decent, there would have been danger of falling that day.¡±


    ¡°Those who dare to challenge me, naturally deserve to die,¡± Jiang Yuan True God stated this as a matter of course.


    ¡°These past few days, I¡¯ve been thinking of how to compensate you.¡±


    ¡°But, Divine Crystals, weapons, Jue Xing Divine Pills, you already have them all; various ultimate skills you can learn by yourself, the Mirror of Laws¡­ I can¡¯t get you any more, the Ancient City has its rules,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said.


    ¡°Senior brother, with your help, I¡¯ve already gained a lot, and I dare not ask for more,¡± Li Yuan quickly responded, and this was his sincere sentiment.


    The cultivation environment in Jue Xing Ancient City was already immensely satisfying to him.


    And most importantly, the protection of Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Haha, this is what you deserve,¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed: ¡°Your talent is so exceptional, unmatched in this world of our generation¡­ So after much thought, I decided to invite two more teachers for you.¡±


    ¡°Star God Xing Huan, Heavenly Divine Piao Xia.¡±


    ¡°They are both peak True God powerhouses, having gone far in the Ninth Stage. In the eyes of nearly ten thousand True Gods of the entire Jue Xing Ancient City, both of them can be ranked in the top ten in their respective Great Dao they comprehend,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a mysterious smile: ¡°Most importantly, they are skilled at instructing disciples.¡±


    Skilled at instructing?


    Li Yuan was momentarily taken aback.


    ¡°Though the Ancient City rules state that you are to have three teachers to guide you¡­ True Gods also have their pride, and if you do not ask for it yourself, they would just assign you three True Gods who might have decent strength but might not be adept at teaching,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°But these two, they already have True God disciples.¡±

    ?Chapter 840: Chapter 434: Years! Rapid Growth_3 Chapter 840: Chapter 434: Years! Rapid Growth_3 ¡°Strength alone does not a teacher make.¡±


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished. As a True God himself, could he actually mentor a True God disciple? This indeed carried significant weight.


    ¡°Senior brother must have taken great pains to invite them,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Haha, if it were in the past, even if I tried, they might not be willing,¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed, ¡°But now that I¡¯ve just become the Deputy City Lord, they¡¯re willing to give me this much face.¡±


    ¡°Besides, your talent is also exceptionally high.¡±


    ¡°After all, every master likes an intelligent disciple,¡± Jiang Yuan True God continued, ¡°If you were a fool, even if the City Lord asked them, they might not be willing.¡±


    Li Yuan could not help but nod.


    Connections matter, but one¡¯s own abilities must be sufficient¡­ relying solely on connections won¡¯t get one far.


    ¡°I have arranged teachers for you in the Earth and Wind Laws,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile, ¡°As for the third teacher¡­ I will personally guide you in the Space Law.¡±


    ¡°You, senior brother?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°What? Am I not qualified to teach on behalf of our master?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a playful smile.


    ¡°Of course, you are more than qualified,¡± Li Yuan quickly said, ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect senior brother to be willing to guide me.¡±


    This was definitely a pleasant surprise.


    Just as Sister Gu You said, Jiang Yuan True God is so powerful¡­ his insights into the Space Law could probably rival many mighty Heavenly Gods.


    This was equivalent to being taught by a Heavenly God.


    ¡­


    After returning to his own palace,


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect senior brother Jiang Yuan to make such arrangements,¡± Li Yuan was indeed filled with gratitude.


    Even the Master might not be able to do what Jiang Yuan True God had done.


    ¡°It¡¯s perfect,¡±


    ¡°In terms of cultivation resources, I have the Lingyuan Jade Fruit, the endlessly provided Red Spirit Flame Liquid, which can maximize the enhancement of my Comprehension, strengthening my Soul.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone.


    ¡°With the two Mirrors of Laws, for the next several decades, they will continuously be effective, promoting my insights into the Space Law, the Law of Earth¡­¡±


    ¡°There are three True God teachers, one of whom is comparable to a Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°In the Jue Xing Ancient City, there are countless Absolute Skills left by generations of Heavenly Gods and numerous True Gods for me to study and comprehend.¡±


    ¡°With the Visualization Method combined with the Six Realms of Illusion to cultivate the Soul Will.¡±


    The conditions were already incredibly perfect.


    ¡°What remains,¡±


    ¡°Is up to me.¡±


    ¡°The best external environment can absolutely rival that of a Heavenly God¡¯s Descendants, but what¡¯s most essential is the individual.¡± Li Yuan was full of fighting spirit, ¡°Whether I can shine in the Ancestral Realm War will depend on how far I can progress in the next twelve years.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s battle shook the heavens and earth, swiftly spreading across various major powers, causing countless True Gods to be astounded. How many eons had it been since such a formidable True God was born?


    At the same time, the name ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯ rapidly spread throughout the universe.


    After all, the battle stirred up by Jiang Yuan True God was all because of the assassination attempt on ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯.


    This news quickly reached the Heavenly Snake Ancient City.


    The territory of the Heavenly Snake Ancient City is not located on the Jue Xing Continent but in the far-off outer heavens¡­ The vast majority of the Life Stars beyond the heavens are governed by the Heavenly Snake Ancient City.


    The Heavenly Snake Ancient City is home to many powerful Divine Beast species, including esteemed lineages such as dragons and phoenixes.


    But the master of the Ancient City is the Heavenly Serpent Clan!


    One important reason is that the ¡®Inheritance Divine Artifacts¡¯ of the Heavenly Snake Ancient City can only be operated by those with the Heavenly Serpent Bloodline¡­ which makes the Heavenly Serpent Clan incredibly dominant.


    Especially in this era, a ¡®Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent¡¯ was born within the Heavenly Serpent Clan, an occurrence unseen for many generations, already shaking the entire Heavenly Snake Ancient City.


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Ancient City, within a vast mansion,


    ¡°Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°From Abyss Country? Only thirty years in cultivation? Exceptionally strong Soul Will, at Flying Heaven Level? Suspected to have Eight Star Veins?¡± The slender and beautiful Green Snake lay in the palace, looking incredibly excited at the report in her hand.


    She couldn¡¯t help but send a voice transmission: ¡°Elder Qiu, do you think, could this Xu Yuan be big brother? Big brother once mentioned his most respected teacher¡¯s surname was Xu, hence he often adopts ¡®Xu¡¯ when using an alias¡­ It all completely matches big brother.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a high probability it¡¯s him,¡± Qiu Bingzun transmitted back, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s talent, once he appears on the Jue Xing Continent, would be among the top geniuses, and his brilliance cannot be concealed.¡±


    ¡°It seems like while you¡¯ve become a core figure in the Heavenly Snake Ancient City, he has not been slow either, becoming a core member of the Jue Xing Ancient City as well,¡± Qiu Bingzun said somewhat sentimentally.


    ¡°Shall we go find big brother?¡± Liu Bing said immediately.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°While it¡¯s very likely that this Xu Yuan is Li Yuan, there remains a tiny chance it¡¯s not¡­ Besides, if you go to find him, it would only bring harm to both of you,¡± Qiu Bingzun advised, ¡°The Heavenly Snake Ancient City and the Jue Xing Ancient City may not be mortal enemies, but their relationship is not exactly cordial.¡±

    Liu Bing was startled.


    ¡°Li Yuan is safe, you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush! Li Yuan may participate in the Battle of the Ancestral Realm in more than a decade, and then you will be able to meet. As for now, what¡¯s most important for you is cultivation, is to seize the opportunity,¡± said Qiu Bingzun: ¡°After all the effort you¡¯ve put in, risking life and death, you¡¯ve just awakened the Eight Star Veins, what you need to do now is to step into the Semi-Divine¡­ and then strive for the Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse!¡±


    ¡°Although it¡¯s extremely rare for someone with Second Rank Seven Star Veins to develop into Nine Star Pulse, it has been historically possible.¡±


    ¡°That Ancestral Realm may involve some secrets that surpass the existence of Heavenly Divines, and the Eternal Hall¡­ In short, we still have hope,¡± said Qiu Bingzun with a hint of excitement in his voice: ¡°If you can become a Semi-Divine with Nine Star Veins, in the future, you have a complete chance to surpass the Heavenly Divine and reach the level of the ¡®Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Ancestor¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Then, not only could you rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan, you could also truly seek revenge,¡± Qiu Bingzun said solemnly.


    He was acutely aware of how terrifying the enemy of the past was.


    Heavenly Divine? The Heavenly Serpent Clan had Heavenly Divines in the past, but they were still annihilated¡­ Therefore, he never dared to dream that Liu Bing could take revenge, only hoping that Liu Bing could rebuild the clan.


    But now, he saw a sliver of faint hope.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I will diligently cultivate,¡± Liu Bing also calmed down, knowing the weight of the responsibilities she bore despite her eagerness to see Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    As time passed, Li Yuan truly began his cultivation journey in Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Within Jue Xing Ancient City, in Li Yuan¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°Teacher Piaoxia, these are the questions that have puzzled me during this month¡¯s cultivation¡­¡± Li Yuan promptly raised his questions.


    ¡°How did you comprehend it so quickly?¡± The shock was evident in Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s voice: ¡°It¡¯s only been a month.¡±


    In reality, Li Yuan¡¯s progress in the Wind Law wasn¡¯t tremendous, but when put into the context of a month, the improvement was striking.


    Moreover.


    Jiang Yuan True God was very aware that Li Yuan was simultaneously dividing his attention to comprehend the Wind, Earth, and Space Laws.


    Another month later.


    ¡°Stepped into the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage?¡± Jiang Yuan True God became even more shocked; after all, she was at the Peak of True God and had taught many disciples, considering herself well-experienced with talented individuals.


    But a talent of Li Yuan¡¯s caliber, she had rarely seen.


    Jiang Yuan True God wasn¡¯t the only one who felt this way; there was also Star Huan True God. Initially indifferent to Li Yuan, as Li Yuan¡¯s progress speed increased, Star Huan True God became increasingly serious as well.


    A good disciple, everyone was willing to teach.


    ¡­


    If Jiang Yuan and Star Huan were shocked by Li Yuan¡¯s talent,


    Then Jiang Yuan True God was simply dumbfounded, for he had never seen anyone at the Flying Heaven Level improve so quickly.


    ¡°Still not enough.¡±


    ¡°Your Spear Technique can be more condensed, Space Cutting, the most important aspect is¡­,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said gravely: ¡°Come, let me demonstrate it to you once more.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan thirstily absorbed the knowledge.


    After sending Li Yuan off,


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s indifference disappeared, replaced by doubt and shock: ¡°Space Cutting!¡±


    ¡°The world of Space!¡±


    ¡°Two directions progressing side by side.¡±


    ¡°Can Xu Yuan really improve this swiftly?¡± Jiang Yuan True God mused: ¡°How frightening is my junior brother¡¯s talent in Space Law.¡±


    ¡°After all, he is just a Semi-Divine Level Soul, and even with the help of the Origin Treasure and the Mirror of Laws, it shouldn¡¯t be this exaggerated.¡±


    Forget about Flying Heaven, in Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s view, no Semi-Divine could match Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying progression in Space Law.


    It¡¯s as though no bottlenecks could hold him back.


    Just a path of break-throughs!!


    ¡°With such rate of progress, he might be able to condense the True Intention of Space before the Ancestral Realm Battle,¡± Jiang Yuan True God pondered.


    True Intention of Space, in terms of Might, is on par with the Eighth Stage of Basic Laws.


    ¡°And since he¡¯s combining the three Laws¡­ perhaps, my disciple really can challenge for a top hundred rank before the Ancestral Realm Battle,¡± Jiang Yuan True God thought to himself.


    This was already incredibly astonishing.


    After all, each genius who stood in the top hundred before the Ancestral Realm Battle was almost at the level of the Semi-Divine Saint Heirs of the Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Ancestral Realm Order? Jiang Yuan True God still perceived the chance of Li Yuan acquiring it to be very slim.


    ¡­


    As time flowed like water, and years slipped by, nearly five years had gone by since Li Yuan joined the Jue Xing Ancient City.

 Chapter 841 - 841 435 Finally Becoming the Nine Star Pulse

    ?Chapter 841: Chapter 435: Finally Becoming the Nine Star Pulse Chapter 841: Chapter 435: Finally Becoming the Nine Star Pulse The Jue Xing Realm also has divisions of the four seasons.


    Early summer, not too hot just yet.


    In the massive Floating City outside the Ancient City, about nine thousand Flying Heaven Level Trialists still resided.


    Whoosh!


    A figure in Silver Armor, exuding an extraordinary aura, quickly arrived outside a courtyard in the Floating City after passing the inspection of Jue Xing¡¯s guards, soon followed by a girl in a purple dress flying out of the courtyard.


    ¡°Big brother,¡± the girl in the purple dress exclaimed with surprise as she looked at the dignified young man in Silver Armor.


    ¡°Little Xuan,¡± Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Today, he has specially come out from the Divine Fire Hall to see his sister.


    ¡°Brother, please come this way,¡± Jiang Xuan said with a smile, leading her big brother to the pavilion nearby.


    The siblings sat down and started chatting.


    ¡°Brother, won¡¯t you neglect your cultivation by coming to see me so often?¡± Jiang Xuan asked.


    ¡°How can it be often? I¡¯ve only visited you a few times in these five years,¡± Jiang Shan laughed: ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much. This visit is also to tell you the good news; my Law Comprehension has improved and it shouldn¡¯t be far to step into the Eighth Stage. I¡¯ve also become a Registered Disciple of a True God. As long as I make progress in the upcoming ranking battle, I should be able to join the ranks of the Inner Sect Disciples.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Xuan was immediately delighted.


    Having spent five years in the Jue Xing Realm, she naturally knew how difficult it was to be accepted as a disciple by a True God.


    Moreover, Jiang Xuan knew her brother was ambitious, and the teacher he was seeking as a disciple among the True Gods was probably extraordinary.


    ¡°A True God Peak expert?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but ask. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Jiang Shan nodded.


    ¡°Congratulations, big brother,¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s smile grew even more radiant.


    Being a disciple of a True God Peak expert only set higher requirements. Becoming a Registered Disciple was still comparatively easy.


    But to be an Inner Sect Disciple or Direct Disciple? Difficult! The recruitment requirements set by True God Peak experts are usually very high.


    For someone like Jiang Shan, he might seem inconspicuous among the nearly ten thousand Semi-Divine members of the Divine Fire Hall, but that is because his cultivation years are relatively short. Given another two or three hundred years, not to say becoming a Saint Heir¡­ breaking into the top one hundred is still a possibility.


    Yet even so, it may not be enough to catch that existent¡¯s eye.


    ¡°But brother, I heard that the ranking battle is extremely difficult, do you have confidence?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°To meet the requirements, how high do you have to rank?¡±


    ¡°Top three thousand should do,¡± Jiang Shan pondered: ¡°With my age, along with the level of my Star Meridian, just entering the top three thousand¡­ the chances are great. I¡¯m not aiming to become a Direct Disciple in this battle, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple would suffice.¡±


    ¡°As long as I continue to make progress in the future, I can still become a Direct Disciple,¡± Jiang Shan said.


    He too longed to be taken in by a renowned master.


    ¡°Three thousand?¡± Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, not taking it lightly.


    After all, every one of the reserve members selected for the Jue Xing Ancient City is a genius elite, and most of them have been cultivating for decades or even a hundred years more than her brother.


    ¡°Speaking of me,¡± Jiang Shan changed the subject abruptly: ¡°Little Xuan, how is your cultivation going? You¡¯ll also need to be reassessed after the five-year term is over, do you feel confident?¡±


    ¡°I have a thirty percent chance,¡± Jiang Xuan hesitated to say.


    In over four years, she spared no effort in her training, but the requirements set by the Jue Xing Ancient City for the Flying Heaven Level reserve members are extremely stringent¡­ Out of the nine thousand Trialists, it is estimated that not more than two hundred will pass.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, having a little confidence is good,¡± Jiang Shan instead smiled: ¡°Even if it¡¯s not successful this time, with the accumulation of these five years, once you go back to the Divine Country Capital and become Semi-Divine, after several decades of cultivation, you can become a reserve member of the Ancient City again.¡±


    ¡°Big brother, you won¡¯t blame me?¡± Jiang Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Why would I blame you? I know you are trying too. Flying Heaven Level is just a stage, it¡¯s not deciding your destiny,¡± Jiang Shan laughed: ¡°I myself did not pass the Flying Heaven trial back in the day¡­ you have already given your best effort.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, there¡¯s still half a year left, maybe you can still make a breakthrough. If you reach the Middle Phase of Seventh Stage Law Comprehension, you¡¯ll be definitely able to stay,¡± Jiang Shan said.


    Jiang Shan nodded to himself, silently vowing to work even harder.


    The siblings continued to chat for a while.


    ¡°Big brother, have you seen Xu brother? How is he doing?¡± Jiang Xuan asked: ¡°Have you seen him?¡±


    ¡°You still asked about him,¡± Jiang Shan smiled: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he must be fine. As for his situation¡­ In fact, I seldom see him.¡±


    Jiang Xuan was taken aback.


    Aren¡¯t they both in the Divine Fire Hall?


    ¡°He has visited you once in these years, hasn¡¯t he?¡± Jiang Shan asked.


    ¡°Yes, two years ago,¡± Jiang Xuan nodded.


    ¡°To my knowledge, he is now regarded as the most valued genius in the Jue Xing Ancient City, on the same level as the number one Semi-Divine Saint Heir, Jing Kui,¡± Jiang Shan said with emotion.


    ¡°I only found out recently, the King and two True God experts personally teach him, giving him guidance once a month¡­ Therefore, he hardly comes to class, I find it hard to meet him even once a year.¡±


    ¡°As for his actual strength, I know even less,¡± Jiang Shan shook his head: ¡°But considering his astonishing talent, his progress might be beyond our imaginations.¡±


    Jiang Xuan understood, having little information about Li Yuan.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to overthink it; the fact he has visited you once over these years is already quite precious,¡± Jiang Shan cautioned: ¡°Day by day, we are in a rapid growth phase, focusing on your own cultivation is the most important thing.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Jiang Xuan nodded: ¡°Only by becoming strong myself, can I truly depend on myself.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Jue Xing Ancient City, within one of the mysterious spaces of Li Yuan¡¯s mansion.


    This space, a ¡®Trial Space¡¯ specially created as the ¡®Saint Heir¡¯s Mansion¡¯, spans over a hundred kilometers in length and width, and its height is also over fifty kilometers¡­ ample for Semi-Divine Limit Experts to practice the intricacies of various moves.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by waves of invisible fluctuations.

 Chapter 842 - 842 435 Finally Becoming the Nine Star Pulse_2

    ?Chapter 842: Chapter 435: Finally Becoming the Nine Star Pulse_2 Chapter 842: Chapter 435: Finally Becoming the Nine Star Pulse_2 Not far away, a figure in a black robe stood there, his aura converging as if he were an ordinary person, silently observing Li Yuan.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A woman dressed in green suddenly appeared out of thin air, she was another of Li Yuan¡¯s instructors, ¡®Piao Xia True God¡¯.


    Piao Xia True God immediately noticed Li Yuan and the black-robed figure beside him.


    ¡°Deputy City Lord.¡± Piao Xia True God bowed slightly.


    ¡°No need for formalities, don¡¯t disturb Xu Yuan.¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded and transmitted his voice.


    ¡°Understood.¡± Piao Xia True God flew to Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s side and asked through voice transmission: ¡°Deputy City Lord, what¡¯s happening with Xu Yuan? Why are you still here?¡±


    According to their tripartite teaching arrangement.


    Jiang Yuan True God would instruct at the beginning of the month, Piao Xia True God in the middle of the month, and Xing Huan True God at the end of the month.


    Because Li Yuan¡¯s progress had always been remarkably fast, the three True Gods did not have to put in much effort and naturally seldom met each other.


    ¡°During the instruction, Xu Yuan had a realization and has been in contemplation here ever since.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said softly: ¡°It has been nearly ten days, so I¡¯ve been guarding him here all this time.¡±


    Piao Xia True God understood; a realization during cultivation was indeed a rare opportunity, and it was best left undisturbed.


    ¡°Deputy City Lord is indeed very good to Xu Yuan.¡± Piao Xia True God couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    ¡°Within my command, a talent has emerged with much difficulty; naturally, I have to value him.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said indifferently.


    Jiang Yuan True God knew, over the years, many had speculated about his relationship with Xu Yuan.


    After all, even for a direct disciple, it¡¯s usually no more than this.


    ¡°These past few years, Xu Yuan has made significant progress, even advancing to the Seventh Stage High Rank in Wind Law.¡± Piao Xia True God smiled: ¡°The Law of Earth and Space Law are improving even faster; with this recent realization, his Spear Technique is likely to undergo a transformation.¡±


    Because of the Mirror of Laws and his innate talent, Li Yuan progressed the fastest in the Mysteries of Space, followed by the Law of Earth, and the Wind Law improved the most rapidly.


    Yet even so, the Wind Law, from its Initial Rank in the Seventh Stage five years ago, has recently advanced to the Seventh Stage High Rank¡­ This shows just how much progress Li Yuan has made in the Laws over the past four-plus years.


    It far exceeds decades of past cultivation. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s progress is indeed great, the Mysteries of Space have reached the ¡®Seven Stages of Perfection¡¯ level.¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded: ¡°But what¡¯s most remarkable is the integration of the three Laws¡­ something countless True Gods yearn for but find unattainable.¡±


    ¡°Speaking of the speed of Law Comprehension, even Jing Kui is far from his equal.¡± Jiang Yuan True God sighed.


    In Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s mind, Li Yuan¡¯s strength had been so formidable before because he was nurtured by the Chaos Divine Court¡­ The cultivation conditions in Jue Xing Ancient City certainly couldn¡¯t compare to those of the Chaos Divine Court.


    But the result was.


    Over these four-plus years, Li Yuan¡¯s pace of improvement was astonishing, with the three major Laws advancing side by side, and even later on¡­ The efficiency of Law Integration could hardly keep up with the pace of Law Comprehension.


    Jiang Yuan True God questioned himself, looking back over the billions of years of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s history, finding few whose cultivation efficiency could match Li Yuan¡¯s.


    But he didn¡¯t know.


    Before entering Jue Xing Ancient City, Li Yuan had truly comprehended the True Intent for less than ten years in total, and at that time, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Realm was far less than it is now¡­ The cultivation environment was even more incomparable.


    The two True Gods continued to wait patiently.


    Another half a day passed.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm? Something¡¯s changing.¡± Piao Xia True God eyes lit up.


    Hum~


    Li Yuan¡¯s aura slightly changed, and his body seemed to transform into a long spear, with strands of Spear Light suddenly appearing around him; the terrifying edge of his presence spread out.


    Body as a spear, will manifested!


    ¡°Law Will? Finally, he has reached this level.¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a smile.


    At this moment, Li Yuan was like a divine weapon, as if his soul, will, and body were all perfectly converged, and his strength had soared to a terrifying level.


    ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s fifth technique¡ªDivine Weapon Intent! Shaking the Vast Sky!¡±


    Li Yuan abruptly opened his eyes and thrust forward, his body growing to a height of ten meters, his majestic and domineering aura spreading, followed closely as his five fingers came together, his arm like a spear.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    With a thrust of his arm, the fingertips, like a spear tip, directly pierced through the vast sky.


    ¡°Whirl~¡± Accompanied by the enhancement of potent Origin Power, where his fingertips passed, even the void trembled slightly. To beings like Jiang Yuan True God and Piao Xia True God, they could more clearly sense that a fine line of space traced through the vast sky with Li Yuan¡¯s thrust¡­ While Li Yuan¡¯s stab was still far from tearing a Space Rift, it had already left a faint trace on the spatial plane.


    This signified that his might had condensed to a terrifying extent.


    ¡°Boom!¡± After executing this move, Li Yuan¡¯s aura converged, and his body rapidly returned to normal.


    ¡°So this is the feeling of Eighth Stage Law Will? Absolute control, might condensed, nearly immovable.¡± Li Yuan sensed silently: ¡°Talking about Law Comprehension, my understanding of the Earth, Wind, and Space three Paths is extremely high¡­ logically, I should have mastered the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s fifth style by now.¡±


    Normally speaking.


    With the integration of the three Laws, with the Mysteries of Space reaching Seven Stages of Perfection, and both Earth and Wind Laws advancing to the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage¡­ one would hope to master the fifth technique ¡®Divine Weapon Intent¡¯.


    But Li Yuan? His cultivation of the Law of Earth is now nearly at the Seven Stages of Perfection, and the Wind Law has also stepped into the high rank of the Seventh Stage.


    One, Li Yuan has been solely focused on Law Comprehension, and indeed, the integration efficiency of the three Laws has been slow.


    Two, the essence within ¡®Law Will¡¯ requires the perfect convergence of soul, will, and body, stirring the subtle Law Origin fluctuations; Li Yuan has never completely mastered it¡­ Under normal circumstances, at least a Semi-Divine Peak Soul Will would be required, because only the body strength of a Semi-Divine Peak expert can barely meet the threshold.

 Chapter 843 - 843 435 Finally Achieving the Nine Star

    ?Chapter 843: Chapter 435: Finally Achieving the Nine Star Pulse_3 Chapter 843: Chapter 435: Finally Achieving the Nine Star Pulse_3 Even with Li Yuan¡¯s astonishing Star Techniques, his body was still not at the peak of Semi-Divine.


    Until not long ago.


    By practicing the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s will reached the limit of Pseudo-God and thereby gained enlightenment, rapidly achieving a breakthrough.


    ¡°I¡¯ve grasped the mystery of Law Will.¡±


    ¡°Next, as long as I integrate more Law Comprehension into my Spear Technique, the skill level of my spear technique will continue to improve,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°and I can keep evolving towards the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s¡¯ Sixth Move.¡±


    The Fifth Move of ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± ¡®Divine Warrior¡¯s Intent,¡¯ was as profound as that of a Pseudo-God Middle Rank.


    The Sixth Move, ¡®Quicksand Shadow,¡¯ would match the profundity of many moves from those at the Pseudo-God Peak.


    ¡°If I can comprehend the Sixth Move and cultivate my Origin Power to the Semi-Divine Limit, then I¡¯ll truly have a chance to seize the Ancestral Realm Order,¡± Li Yuan pondered to himself.


    ¡­


    Speaking seemed slow, but in reality, just a moment after grasping the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡±¡®s Fifth Move, Li Yuan had figured everything out and instantly appeared before the two True Gods.


    ¡°King, Teacher Piaoxia,¡± Li Yuan respectfully said.


    ¡°Very good.¡±


    ¡°At the Eighth Stage, you need to communicate with the Law Will, allowing for a perfect integration of body, soul, and will,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with emotion: ¡°I thought you¡¯d have to step into the Semi-Divine Realm to fully control this, but you made a breakthrough at the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Give you a little more time, and your spear technique will improve rapidly. By then, your strength will be close to that of the Pseudo-God Level,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile.


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Is it easy to attain enlightenment at the Flying Heaven Level?


    The key to his swift breakthrough was that his Soul Will was incredibly powerful.


    Especially his will, which is almost at the True God Level.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, with your current realm, are you not breaking through to become Semi-Divine?¡± the True God Piaoxia asked with confusion, ¡°Your soul has already undergone a Transformation to the Pseudo-God Level, and your will is extremely strong, and you¡¯ve entered the Eighth Stage level of Law Integration¡­ yet you¡¯re not breaking through?¡±


    ¡°Once you break through, your body will become stronger, and your Soul Will improve even further, speeding up the growth of your strength,¡± True God Piaoxia said.


    She indeed felt puzzled.


    ¡°I wish to stay at the Flying Heaven Level a bit longer,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, unwilling to explain further.


    Indeed.


    In the eyes of others, he should have already stepped into the Semi-Divine Realm, with no need for further delay.


    Alas!


    Li Yuan had not yet achieved his goal.


    ¡°Piaoxia,¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke, solemnly saying, ¡°Let Xu Yuan choose his own path of cultivation. Strengthening his foundation is also good, he¡¯s not even forty years old yet, there¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± True God Piaoxia nodded. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    An hour later, True God Piaoxia finished her guidance and left directly.


    Inside the Trial Space, Li Yuan was once again by himself.


    ¡°It¡¯s been four years and seven months since I entered the Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°And almost five years since I arrived at Jue Xing Continent.¡± Li Yuan calmed down and pondered silently: ¡°I have indeed made great progress, breaking through continuously in all aspects.¡±


    ¡°My will has reached level 59, almost at the True God level.¡±


    ¡°My soul has reached the Pseudo-God level a year ago due to the constant nurturing from the Lingyuan Biyu fruit, combined with continuous honing through the Visualization Method. Limited by my body, it has stayed completely at level 50,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After becoming a Pseudo-God level soul, the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening expanded.


    Moreover, his Law Comprehension surged, allowing such quick progress¡­ and he also used a considerable amount of ¡®Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡¯


    To date, the staggering number of ¡®862¡¯ Jue Xing Divine Pills had already been consumed.


    Of the eight Star Veins, besides the five Perfect Star Veins, the remaining three Star Veins also reached the Nine Layers Star Vein level under Li Yuan¡¯s self-awakening¡­


    With these thoughts, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at the Divine Palace panel:


    ¡ª-


    [Life Level: 38.9 (Third Rank)]


    Spiritual Power: Level 50


    Willpower: Level 59


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 83.4% (Current Upper Limit 85%)


    Star Meridian: Star Veins: Eight Star Veins (10-Layer+10-Layer+10-Layer+10-Layer+10-Layer+9-Layer+9-Layer+9-Layer)


    [Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage High Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage High Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 97%), True Meaning of Fire (Sixth Stage High Rank), Mysteries of Water (Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank), Mysteries of Wood (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Metal (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Thunder (Fifth Stage 99%)]


    ¡­


    ¡°In the Life Starry Sky of the Command Star space, the number of Unowned Life Stars has now exceeded nine hundred thousand¡­ but I have not yet awakened the ninth Star Vein,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally.


    Once, Li Yuan had seen various descriptions of the ¡°Nine Star Pulse¡± in numerous ancient texts.


    Listening to Gu You and Qiu Bingzun speak of the extreme difficulty of the ¡°Nine Star Pulse,¡± they referred only to the ¡°Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins¡±¡­ at that time, Li Yuan did not fully understand.


    Now, Li Yuan had a complete understanding.


    ¡°No wonder in the history of Heaven Snake, those few with ¡®Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡¯ only awakened the Nine Star Pulse during their Semi-Divine phase, failing to achieve the ultimate ¡®Ten-Star Meridian,''¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°The Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse is already so difficult¡­ the Semi-Divine Ten-Star Meridian will probably be even harder.¡±


    Know that, in Li Yuan¡¯s feeling, using more than eight hundred ¡®Jue Xing Divine Pills¡¯ and once ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯ seemed to have a similar effect, still unable to help him step from the Eight Stars to the Nine Star Pulse.


    Over the past five years, Li Yuan had also been desperately awakening Life Stars, yet unable to break the shackles.


    After a while.


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s not yet the limit, even if I can no longer use the Awakening Divine Pills, I can still awaken some Life Stars every day,¡± Li Yuan maintained his serenity inside: ¡°As long as I haven¡¯t reached the carrying capacity limit of the Life Starry Sky, there¡¯s still hope.¡±


    He came here for the Nine Star Pulse.


    How could he give up without reaching his goal?


    Li Yuan, who had emotions fluctuating within, had already cultivated the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion¡± to the Second Realm, ¡®Six Will.¡¯


    Going through the emotional illusions of joy, anger, thought, anxiety, and fear constantly, unable to master them perfectly, but it had already made him view countless things more calmly.

    Struggling to awaken the Nine Star Pulse?


    Do your utmost towards your goal, that¡¯s enough; no need to be annoyed or worried by the result.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°Once I condense the True Intention of Space, and can awaken more Life Stars, I will have succeeded,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    ¡­


    Day by day, Li Yuan continued immersing himself in cultivation, occasionally taking on some trial missions.


    But even the toughest ¡®First Rank Flying Heaven trial missions¡¯ posed no challenge to him; they were just diversions in his monotonous cultivation life.


    In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.


    On this day.


    ¡°Cultivation of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ has ended.¡± Li Yuan opened his eyes, his consciousness just waking up from the infinite illusionary realm as if he had traversed thousands of years of success and failure: ¡°It¡¯s time to try awakening more Life Stars.¡±


    Huff!


    After adjusting his mood, Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and his soul consciousness once again descended into the Life Starry Sky.


    Compared to when he first arrived at the Jue Xing Continent five years ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Starry Sky had become much more dazzling.


    The previously dim starry night now had a multitude of twinkling stars¡­ nearly a million unowned Life Stars, along with the Life Stars of the Eight Star Veins, added a lot of brightness to this darkness.


    ¡°Huff!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness diverged.


    As countless times before, he again tried to roam the starry sky, seeking the ¡®Unawakened Life Stars¡¯ hidden within each lifeless Life Star.


    Shortly after.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Another Life Star integrated with a strand of Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness and burst into brilliant light.


    Just then, this Life Star seemed like the final force that triggered an avalanche in the snowy mountains.


    ¡°Boom!!¡± In the Life Starry Sky, among those nearly a million disorganized Life Stars, a very small fraction seemed to be drawn by a strange force, began to link together, and then started moving.


    Like an orbit of celestial bodies.


    They truly became alive.


    This small portion of Life Stars, along with the recently awakened one by Li Yuan, not too many or too few, precisely amounted to 12,960 Life Stars.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan was initially stunned, then an endless joy surged in his heart.


    It was done!


    The Ninth Star Vein had finally fully awakened silently.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Along with the awakening of the Ninth Star Vein, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Starry Sky trembled faintly.


    Within the Sea of Origin Power, all of a sudden, another Star Vein spanned the void, connecting to the central ¡®Origin Pill¡¯, making the already perfectly smooth Origin Pill even more powerful and complete.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    The Origin Pill began its transformation; the Origin Power became purer and rapidly aimed for a breakthrough towards 39.0 level.


    With the awakening of the Ninth Star Vein, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power¡¯s upper limit reached the level of 39.9.


    ¡­


    Whoosh~ Layers of dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the surface of Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    Nine Star Veins intertwined like beams of light.


    Eight of them were extremely bright, almost identical, only the last one was relatively dimmer but still clearly visible.


    ¡°Nine Star Veins!¡±


    ¡°Is this the limit of a Flying Heaven life?¡± Li Yuan sensed a fluctuation from the depths of the cosmos.


    This seemed like a congratulation from the vast world, or perhaps a kind of message, or maybe just a feeling in his own heart.


    Regardless, this was a limit.


    ¡°Six Star Pulse, Seven Star Pulse, Eight Star Pulse, Nine Star Pulse¡­ the further along, the harder the awakening, and in the Third Rank Life, the transition from Eight Star Pulse to Nine Star Pulse is like a moat.¡± Li Yuan silently said: ¡°Regardless, I, Li Yuan, have succeeded.¡±


    Being able to take this step.


    All along the way, with the help of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, without it, reaching the Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank would be impossible.


    There were also many opportunities.


    With the guidance and help of seniors like Fang Hai, Dongfang Ji, and Jiang Yuan, without these¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will and Law Comprehension could not have grown so quickly.


    And Li Yuan¡¯s own efforts and perseverance, never thinking of giving up, even if it nearly cost him his life, still steadfast in his own path.


    Many factors.


    ¡°Talent, opportunity, plus luck.¡± Li Yuan was clear about this: ¡°Those have made me who I am today.¡±


    Third Rank Nine Star Pulse!!


    Even in the vast and boundless Divine Realm, that absolutely qualifies as legendary, only the most exceptional monsters throughout the endless ages could match Li Yuan in terms of Star Pulse.


    The birth of each Third Rank Nine Star Pulse is a convergence of many factors, both external and internal.


    Even the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, is indeed against the heavens.


    But, just like on Jue Xing Continent, where generation after generation of top geniuses get a massive amount of Jue Xing Divine Pills, accumulating in quantity, their effect can approach ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯¡­ In the vast and endless Divine Realm, there are many opportunities more incredible than Jue Xing Divine Pills, which are comparable to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh! An invisible fluctuation was born from the void, this fluctuation ignored the obstructions of the Trial Space¡¯s formation, as well as Li Yuan¡¯s own Soul Defense.


    It directly transmitted to the depths of Li Yuan¡¯s spirit.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, a message had emerged: ¡°Trialist, you have completed the second task ¡®Achieve Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse¡¯, becoming a Golden Garment Member, and obtained the ¡®Return Command¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Once you activate the Return Command, you can go to the Eternal Hall.¡±


    ¡°After arriving at the Eternal Hall, you can choose to give up the other tasks, return to your home world, or choose to return to Jue Xing Continent again, continue the first task, the third task¡­ Only upon completing all three tasks, can you become a Purple Garment Member.¡±


    Whir~


    In Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, next to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, a nearly ethereal golden token suddenly appeared.


    This golden token does not contain any Origin Power, but is composed of Spiritual Power, yet it contains a strange force within.


    ¡°Return Command?¡± Li Yuan, sensing the golden token, already knew the function of this token.


    Once triggered, he himself could reach that so-called ¡®Eternal Hall¡¯.


    ¡°Golden Garment Member?¡±


    ¡°After using the Return Command, can I choose to go back to my homeland civilization, or continue the other two tasks?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind instantly flashed with many thoughts.


    This mysterious Eternal Hall, is indeed unimaginably powerful.


    Even Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s highest echelons might not yet know of his awakening of the Nine Star Pulse, yet it already knows.


    ¡°Whether to go back or not, let¡¯s see after reaching the Eternal Hall, there¡¯s no rush for now.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, even if I want to use this Return Command, I can¡¯t use it within the Jue Xing Realm.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    This message did not state how long it would take to reach the Eternal Hall, after all, Jue Xing Ancient City has the power of a Heavenly Divine.


    If he suddenly disappears, and when he returns later, even with the protection of Jiang Yuan True God, many things would be hard to explain.


    Deep down, Li Yuan hopes to participate in the battle of the Ancestral Realm.


    ¡°Reserve Members wishing to leave Jue Xing Realm must become Semidivine.¡± Li Yuan quickly made a decision: ¡°The message left to me by the Dongfang Alliance Leader also requires me to become Semi-Divine to open.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, since the Nine Star Pulse is achieved.¡±


    ¡°The Life Starry Sky space can no longer awaken more Life Stars.¡± Li Yuan had already tried this.


    Since the Nine Star Pulse was achieved, the carrying capacity of the Life Starry Sky space seemed to have reached its limit, unable to awaken another Life Star.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to delay further, I should strive to break through to Semidivine first.¡±

 Chapter 845 - 436: Demigod Li Yuan (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 845: Chapter 436: Demigod Li Yuan (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)


    Phew!


    At the thought, Li Yuan restrained the radiance of the Nine Star Pulse emanating from his body: ¡°Once my Origin Power Cultivation reaches level 39.9, I can directly break through to the Demigod realm.¡±


    After awakening the Nine Star Pulse, along with the Transformation of the Origin Pill, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level rapidly reached 39.1.


    To be on the safe side.


    Li Yuan also transmitted messages to Jiang Yuan True God and others, informing them he needed to go into seclusion to prepare for the breakthrough to Demigod and that they need not provide guidance for the time being.


    If possible, Li Yuan did not wish to reveal the secret of his ¡®Third Rank Nine Star Pulse¡¯.


    Once all preparations were in place, Li Yuan directly entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Sister.¡± Li Yuan immediately saw the girl in white in the distance and smiled: ¡°I succeeded.¡±


    ¡°I know, I know, I sensed it just a moment ago.¡± Gu You¡¯s face was filled with excitement: ¡°Third Rank Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    My heavens!


    Initially, Gu You had high hopes for Li Yuan, and even her highest goals for him only dared to reach the Demigod Eight Star Pulse, yet Li Yuan achieving the Second Rank Eight Star Pulse already exceeded her expectations.


    But Gu You never imagined that Li Yuan would achieve the Third Rank Nine Star Pulse accomplishment in such a short time.


    Throughout the ages, looking across the vast Divine Realm, there are only a handful who could achieve this feat.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m preparing to break through to Demigod as soon as possible,¡± Li Yuan said outright: ¡°Otherwise, if we delay, the higher-ups of Jue Xing Ancient City might notice.¡±


    ¡°Yes, with the Nine Star Pulse, there¡¯s indeed no need to delay further in the Flying Heaven Level.¡± Gu You nodded continuously: ¡°Go to the Divine Crystal Chamber, I will completely lift the restrictions, and you can absorb the Divine Crystal Energy to your heart¡¯s content.¡±


    Phew!


    Li Yuan soon entered the Divine Crystal Chamber through the corridors and immediately sensed a vast amount of Divine Crystal Energy roaming around.


    ¡°It¡¯s still too sparse,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, then flipped his hand to take out a large amount of Divine Crystals and placed them around him.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Running the Star Meridians within his body, all his limbs and bones completely opened up, and like Taotie, he began a frenzied devouring.


    Divine Crystals, containing the most pure ¡®Origin Power¡¯, whether it¡¯s for cultivating Origin Power or Star Techniques, or for refining artifacts, alchemy, puppets, using warships, etc., Divine Crystals serve great purposes.


    Using Divine Crystals to cultivate Origin Power is the most extravagant.


    However, Li Yuan, being wealthy and powerful, currently pursuing the fastest speed to break through, naturally does not care about these matters.


    ¡­


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current level, the speed of refining Divine Crystal Origin Power is many times faster than normal Flying Heaven Level.


    In less than a month.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power Cultivation had broken through from level 39.1 to 39.9, achieving Perfection.


    ¡°This is the limit of the Flying Heaven Level, level 39.9,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the Quiet Chamber, feeling the strength of the Origin Pill.


    At this moment, even without employing any Star Techniques, the strength of his Origin Power body was nearly at the Demigod level.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to breakthrough,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    The Sea of Origin Power, a vast space.


    Nine Star Veins extended into this space, with streaks of faint yellow liquid flowing in the void, encircling the dazzling and lustrous ¡®Origin Pill¡¯, which was Li Yuan¡¯s Flying Heaven Origin Power.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the already extremely powerful Origin Pill began its Transformation, the temperature started to surge, and the myriad of Origin Power operating within it immediately underwent a qualitive change, leaping to a higher level.


    The scattered streams of Origin Power liquid floating in the space were also crazily devoured by the Origin Pill.


    Making the Origin Pill even more formidable!


    Even, the Origin Pill began autonomously crazily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Origin Power from the outside¡­Li Yuan did not hesitate and took out a large amount of Divine Crystals again to supply the absorbing Transformation of the Origin Pill.


    Almost in the blink of an eye.


    Around Li Yuan, a surging Origin Power vortex formed, and a great amount of Origin Power almost condensed into a tangible substance.


    Inside Li Yuan.


    The temperature inside that Origin Pill was also rapidly climbing, until it reached a certain limit in an instant.


    ¡°Boom~¡± With the Origin Pill rapidly expanding, it suddenly collapsed inward, and then the Origin Pill visibly started to shrink at a speed that was frighteningly fast.


    Eventually, inside the Origin Power Space, there were only eight dazzling and lustrous Innate Star Vein Marks and one Acquired Star Vein Mark¡­and a very small red light spot.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The light spot suddenly exploded, a burst of power impacted in all directions, and a small flame was born in the center.


    When this small cluster of flames was born, illuminating the Origin Power Space, it was like a great tree had roots, and a river had a source¡­the entire Origin Power Space seemed to have an added surging vitality.


    This, is the Fire Seed!


    The foundation of a Demigod.


    Phew~ As if a breeze passed by, causing the flame to show signs of extinguishing.


    ¡°Sss~¡±


    ¡°Sss~¡± The nine Star Vein Marks transformed into nine streaks of flowing light and immediately flew into that small cluster of flames, making the flame much brighter¡­Boom, a large amount of Origin Power crazily surging towards it, quickly forming a thick layer of Origin Power protection around the Fire Seed.


    Constantly condensing, compressing, expanding, compressing¡­ The energy in the Divine Crystal Chamber was absorbed by Li Yuan, and a massive amount of Divine Crystals were continuously absorbed by Li Yuan.


    Ten Fangshen Crystals, twenty Fangshen Crystals, fifty Fangshen Crystals, one hundred Fangshen Crystals¡­


    The thick layer of Origin Power protection, like a brand-new Origin Pill was born, perfectly integrating the Fire Seed and the nine Star Vein Marks at its core.


    ¡°Whish~¡±


    Inside the newly born Origin Pill, nourished by the Origin Power, the Fire Seed grew even mightier, and strands of flames burning inside the Origin Pill actually made the Origin Power contained within the Origin Pill even more pure.


    Forming a miraculous cycle.


    ¡°Level 40.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, also feeling the mighty power of the reborn Origin Pill.


    Fire is the source of life, with the Life Fire seeded in the pill, this is the Life Fire Source Pill!


    Also, the core of a Demigod.


    And if cultivated to the ultimate, when the Life Fire completely transforms into ¡®Divine Fire¡¯ and no longer relies on the Origin Pill for existence, then it reaches the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± The Life Fire Source Pill is still crazily absorbing the Origin Power from the surroundings, nurturing the growth of its fire seed inside.


    ¡°Level 41 now.¡±


    ¡°The fire seed formed by the marks of my Nine Star Pulse contains an astonishing life force,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°At level 35 Flying Heaven, once breaking through to Demigod it is usually level 40; if it is Seven Star Veins, level 37, right after breaking through it is usually level 42¡­ But I broke through at level 39, I wonder to what extent it can grow.¡±


    Li Yuan was very patient.


    Once a breakthrough occurs, the faster the Origin Power grows, the better.


    ¡°Continue!¡± Li Yuan continued to devour the energy in the Divine Crystal Chamber, and numerous Divine Crystals were being refined, consuming as much as he could.


    Inside the main hall of the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse, can its growth really be so astonishing?¡± Gu You sensed the intense movements in the Divine Crystal Chamber and couldn¡¯t help but feel emotional and somewhat excited.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°The faster it grows, the better,¡± Gu You expected with anticipation. ¡°Once the Life Fire Origin Pill is complete, both soul and body will be nurtured, breaking many previous restrictions, and Li Yuan¡¯s growth rate will experience a surge.¡±


    Gu You knew well that neither Eight Star Veins nor Nine Star Pulse showed a very clear advantage in the early stages.


    The disparity grows bigger later on.


    After Ascending to God, it will certainly be a difference between heaven and earth.


    Time passed, nearly a month later, the activity inside the Divine Crystal Chamber finally settled down completely.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Gu You sensed again, the vast vortex of Origin Power that previously enveloped Li Yuan had completely dissipated, allowing her to sense clearly. Surprise flashed in her eyes, ¡°Level 46? Or 47? Growing so fast?¡±


    ¡°Is this the power of Nine Star Pulse?¡±


    ¡°The growth of Origin Power is too fast.¡±


    ¡­


    The Divine Crystal Chamber had now quieted down completely.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse¡¯s breakthrough, the ¡®fire seed¡¯ that was nurtured is indeed astonishing, having absorbed thousands of Fangshen Crystals in one go.¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t mind the consumption at all, on the contrary, his eyes sparkled: ¡°After stepping into Demigod, it actually grew to level 44.9 at once.¡±


    After the fire seed grew to its maximum, Li Yuan didn¡¯t hesitate and used the one-time Origin Power infusion obtained when his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 80%¡­ In a few days, the Life Fire Origin Pill transformed again, and his Life Level also climbed to a new height.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel:


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 46.8 (Fourth Rank)]


    Spiritual Power: Level 53


    Willpower: Level 59


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 83.4% (Current Limit 85%)


    ¡­


    In just under two months, Li Yuan transformed from level 38.9 to 46.8, and in terms of the strength of Origin Power, he could completely compare to many Demigods of Six Star Pulse.


    The soul, along with the transformation of the body¡¯s Origin Power, rapidly grew to level 53.


    This was only the beginning; nourished by the Life Fire Origin Pill, Li Yuan¡¯s soul would undergo a phase of rapid growth.


    ¡°The soul has grown to level 53, but the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening is still 85%,¡± thought Li Yuan. ¡°Next, if I want to cultivate to level 49.9, I need to rely on my own painstaking efforts.¡±


    However, as long as he is willing to use Divine Crystals for cultivation, achieving growth to level 49.9 before the battle in Ancestral Realm wouldn¡¯t be difficult for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Next.¡±


    ¡°Apart from normal cultivation of Spear Technique and Visualization Method, I need to cultivate those Star Techniques to the peak of the Fourth Rank,¡± Li Yuan mused internally.


    Only by cultivating Nine Layer Star Techniques like the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯ to the peak of the Fourth Rank, can Li Yuan¡¯s combat strength be fully unleashed.¡±


    ¡°Once I cultivate the Origin Power to level 49.9, and combine it with numerous Nine Layer Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself: ¡°During the battle of Ancestral Realm, even if my Spear Technique is relatively weaker, I will be able to overpower the law with sheer force, overwhelmingly defeating most opponents with absolute power.¡±


    The formidable strength of High Star Veins practitioners lies in their nearly invincible basic strength at the same rank.


    For practitioners of Seven Star Veins, stepping into the Semi-Divine Realm, they generally cultivate one to two fighting Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    As for Li Yuan? He cultivates at least four fighting Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    And his Origin Power will be stronger.


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader, relying on extremely high Law Comprehension and Origin Divine Artifact¡­ barely erupted the Peak of Pseudo-God strength.¡± Li Yuan showed a slight smile, ¡°I will be able to burst out the Peak of Pseudo-God strength more effortlessly than Dongfang Alliance Leader.¡±


    However, such potent Star Technique cultivation is very time-consuming and not something that can be achieved overnight.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°Did Brother Jiang Yuan arrive?¡± Li Yuan sensed the outside world and detected anomalies in the Trial Space.


    With a thought, Li Yuan immediately left the Ancient Divine Palace. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    In the Trial Space.


    ¡°It¡¯s been such a long time, stepping from Flying Heaven to Demigod, has he not succeeded yet?¡± Jiang Yuan True God appeared here, his gaze sweeping through to spot the inconspicuous dust in the void.


    It was a Cave Heaven Treasure.


    And Jiang Yuan True God instantly judged that this Cave Heaven Treasure should be a True God Instrument.


    Previously inside Li Yuan¡¯s body, Jiang Yuan True God did not pry and naturally failed to detect the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Now, with the Ancient Divine Palace outside, it could no longer be hidden.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly appeared, directly gathered the Ancient Divine Palace, then bowed slightly and said, ¡°Brother!¡±


    ¡°Successfully broke through to Demigod? It¡¯s good¡­ Hm? How come you¡¯re at level 46?¡± Jiang Yuan True God was immediately astonished.


    Just broken through to Demigod, and already level 46?

 Chapter 846 - 437: The Transformation of Strength

    Chapter 846: Chapter 437: The Transformation of Strength


    Jiang Yuan True God himself possesses the Eight Star Veins, therefore, he knows the characteristics that manifest after their breakthrough.


    Normally, whether it is from stepping into Semi-Divine from Flying Heaven, or from Semi-Divine to the Void God Realm¡­ the Life Level would enhance from the 4th to the 5th Rank.


    Thus, in Jiang Yuan¡¯s estimation, Li Yuan should be at Rank 43 or Rank 44 right after his breakthrough.


    How did he reach Rank 46 so quickly?


    Even if he cultivated with Divine Crystals, or even some Exotic Treasures, his Life Level should not have evolved this quickly.


    ¡°Senior Brother.¡± Li Yuan had already thought of an excuse, not at all surprised that Jiang Yuan True God could discern the Virtual and Real status of his Life Level.


    The stronger one is, the stronger their Perception Ability.


    Li Yuan¡¯s techniques for concealing his aura have improved compared to the past. Most likely, only Pseudo-Gods could sense that he is a Semi-Divine¡­ Most True Gods can probably only guess that he is at the Semi-Divine Peak level, and it would be difficult to be more precise.


    But this certainly does not include Jiang Yuan True God, whose power rivals that of a Heavenly Divine?


    So, from the start, Li Yuan never intended to hide the truth from him: ¡°Senior Brother, over a month ago, the awakening of my Life Star almost reached its Limit, so I chose to break through to Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°In just over half a month, my Life Level completed an immediate Transformation to Rank 44, and my Soul Will also began to transform¡­ Especially the rapid Transformation of the soul.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after my breakthrough, while cultivating Origin Power with Divine Crystals, I started to use more Jue Xing Divine Pills in hopes of awakening my Life Star¡­¡± Li Yuan respectfully said: ¡°In the end, I unknowingly managed to awaken the ninth Star Meridian.¡±


    This was the story Li Yuan had prepared.


    The Nine Star Pulse cannot be easily concealed.


    Whether it is the sensory techniques of Jiang Yuan True God or Tai You Heavenly God, or the fact that he would eventually cultivate to Rank 49.9¡­ none could be hidden.


    However, Li Yuan has altered the sequence of his awakening of the Nine Star Pulse and his breakthrough to Semi-Divine.


    The difference between the Nine Star Pulse at the Flying Heaven Stage and the Semi-Divine Nine Star Pulse is utterly distinct.


    The former is legendary within the vast Divine Realm.


    The latter has appeared on the Jue Xing Continent before, though extremely rare, but not inconceivable.


    ¡°What? Nine Star Pulse?¡± Jiang Yuan True God felt a shock, his expression subtly changing.


    Hu!


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes faintly emitted divine light, observing Li Yuan carefully¡­ When Li Yuan was at the Flying Heaven Level before, it took him quite a while to confirm that Li Yuan possessed the Six Star Pulse.


    Now that Li Yuan has become Semi-Divine, it is even harder to discern.


    ¡°Hum~¡± With a thought, Li Yuan immediately activated the Nine Star Pulse within his body, and his body¡¯s surface instantly burst forth with layers of dazzling light.


    The nine Star Meridians interweave like beams of light, shining brilliantly.


    Seeing this sight, along with his own observations, Jiang Yuan True God no longer harbored any doubts.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse!¡± sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°To actually awaken the Nine Star Pulse.¡± Jiang Yuan True God marveled, feeling quite delighted in his heart. He had invested a lot of Heart Power in Li Yuan, wishing that Li Yuan could Ascend to Heavenly God in the future.


    Nine Star Pulse!!


    At least in the known history of the Jue Xing Continent, all who awakened the Nine Star Pulse eventually became Heavenly Divine.


    To awaken the Nine Star Pulse suggests an astonishing talent in Law Comprehension and Soul Will, paired with a strong foundation¡­ It would be hard not to become a Heavenly God.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°What a pity.¡± Jiang Yuan True God suddenly sighed: ¡°You awakened the Nine Star Pulse right after becoming Semi-Divine¡­ which means you were already close to awakening it when you were at the Flying Heaven Stage. If you were originally at the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, perhaps you would have had a chance to reach Ten-Star Meridian as a Semi-Divine.¡±


    Up to this point, Jiang Yuan True God still believed Li Yuan was originally a Second Rank Seven Star Veins, who had awakened the Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven Stage.


    ¡°Senior Brother flatters me.¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°The difficulty of Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡­ I believe Senior Brother knows it better than I do.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, progressing from the Nine Star Pulse to the Ten Star Meridian is almost like ascending to the heavens. Even in our Divine Realm, the Ten-Star Meridian is a legend, never heard of anyone reaching that level.¡± Li Yuan said with emotion, casually stating ¡®our Divine Realm¡¯.


    Regarding this.


    Li Yuan once asked Liu Bing and Gu You ¡®whether the Divine Realm has ever given birth to a Ten-Star Meridian powerhouse,¡¯ and they both gave a definite answer ¡®yes.¡¯


    There has been one!


    But as to who it was? Neither Liu Bing nor Gu You could provide a clear answer, with no precise records.


    Li Yuan could only attribute it to the fact that the time when the last Ten-Star Meridian was born was too long ago for any precise names to be left in various records and legends.


    There is another possibility, that a Ten-Star Meridian Semi-Divine was too monstrously powerful¡­


    Not one major power would want to expose such an individual, hence no accurate information was leaked, and some well-known ¡®Nine-Star Vein Celestial Gods¡¯ throughout the history of the Divine Realm might have been Ten-Star Meridians in truth.


    ¡°The Ten-Star Meridian is indeed nearly impossible to achieve.¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded and then smiled: ¡°To become a Nine-Star Pulse is already extremely good! Extremely good.¡±


    Li Yuan becoming a Nine-Star Pulse had exceeded his expectations, so he did not ponder further.


    ¡°With more than six years until the Ancestral Realm War, you¡¯ll have enough time to cultivate to Rank 49.9.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°With such a strong foundation, it will be easy for you to break into the top hundred¡­ You even have the chance to seize the Ancestral Realm Order.¡±


    The number of Ancestral Realm Orders varies, sometimes only the top three can seize them, sometimes the top ten can.


    It also involves some luck.


    Thus, Jiang Yuan True God said that Li Yuan already has a certain possibility.


    ¡°I won¡¯t let Senior Brother down.¡± Li Yuan smiled, to break into the top hundred of the Ancestral Realm War?


    Only by breaking into the top ten and even the top three can one be absolutely sure.


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve broken through to Semi-Divine, you¡¯ll have to participate in the Semi-Divine ranking battle in a little over a month.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°This will be your first battle since becoming Semi-Divine¡­ According to the rules of Jue Xing Ancient City, just like when you first participated in the Flying Heaven trial battle, the reward will be ten times more than the future ranking battles.¡±

 Chapter 847 - 437: The Transformation of Strength_2

    Chapter 847: Chapter 437: The Transformation of Strength_2


    ¡°The higher the ranking, the better the rewards will be.¡±


    ¡°In theory, there is hope to obtain rewards like True God Instruments, or even treasures like the Mirror of Laws,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°First rank battle with a tenfold reward?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    It should be known that becoming the First Saint of Flying Heaven, he had already received 100,000 Divine Crystals as a reward, which was equivalent to the entire wealth and treasures of many Pseudo-God Middle Rank powerhouses.


    The rewards for the Semi-Divine rank battle are likely to be even higher.


    ¡°It¡¯s somewhat regrettable.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God couldn¡¯t help but smile and said, ¡°If you were to have your breakthrough after this rank battle and then partake in Concealed Cultivation for five more years¡­ I¡¯m afraid you could rank even higher on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°An earlier breakthrough, a Soul breakthrough and faster comprehension of the Mysteries of the Law,¡± said Li Yuan, ¡°The loss and gain of a single rank battle are secondary matters.¡±


    ¡°Haha, you do have a positive outlook,¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a smile and said, ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve grasped it well, come and find me again if there¡¯s a need.¡± S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I will take my leave now.¡±


    ¡°If you need guidance in cultivation from Piao Xia True God and others, just send a message to me,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    To Jiang Yuan True God, Li Yuan, having entered the Semi-Divine rank and, in one go, awakened the Nine Star Pulse, has already laid the best foundation, and his future is bound to be smooth sailing, with at most a few setbacks.


    Therefore, he would not interfere too much with Li Yuan¡¯s path of cultivation.


    Strong individuals must decide their own paths.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Immediately after, Jiang Yuan True God left, leaving Li Yuan alone in the void of the Trial Space.


    After a moment of contemplation.


    ¡°With only a little over a month left before the rank battle, it¡¯s not very realistic to improve either my Origin Power Cultivation or the realm of my Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan mused silently; both required time to gradually refine.


    At present, if he wished to rapidly increase his strength.


    ¡°First, Star Techniques! I must quickly cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the Fourth Rank Limit, and next, the ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯,¡± Li Yuan silently said. ¡°Secondly, it¡¯s the Soul Attack secret technique.¡±


    Compared to other Semi-Divines, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will is terrifying, and the Might of his Soul Attacks far surpasses that of other Semi-Divines¡­ Such powerful moves naturally need to be utilized.


    It¡¯s just that more than a year ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul had just entered the Pseudo-God level and had been busy contemplating Law Comprehension and awakening the Life Star¡­ He hadn¡¯t had the chance to cultivate the Soul Secret Technique.


    ¡°Once the Star Technique and the Soul Secret Technique make progress.¡±


    ¡°I should be able to give that group of Semi-Divine Reserve Members a surprise during the rank battle,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    The rank battle is also a test.


    If one can¡¯t even win against the Semi-Divines of Jue Xing Ancient City, how could they hope to win in the battle of the Ancestral Realm?


    Hu!


    With a thought, Li Yuan returned to the Main Hall of the Ancient Divine Palace, and with a flip of his palm, the hall was filled with a dense array of Exotic Treasures.


    These were exactly what Li Yuan had Nine Sound Building help him purchase in the Yuan Country Capital for the cultivation of the Nine Layer Star Master.


    At that time, the treasures needed to cultivate the five Nine Layer Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank, only the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ had been collected in full.


    Over these five years in Jue Xing Ancient City, Li Yuan has, through the ¡®Divine Fire Hall¡¯ channels and at the cost of over a thousand Fangshen Crystals, successively collected the other necessary treasures for ¡®Heaven and Earth River,¡¯ ¡®True Solution of the Sky Wind Star Vein,¡¯ and ¡®Myriad Shadows Void.¡¯


    After all, Divine Fire Hall is the foremost great power¡¯s place for nurturing talents in this world, and the channels for purchasing treasures far exceed those of Nine Sound Building.


    And with Li Yuan now at level 46.8, his body¡¯s capacity was strong enough.


    Therefore, for Li Yuan.


    Given enough time, he could successively cultivate the five Nine Layer Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank extreme.


    ¡°The ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯ contribute the most to increasing strength,¡± with this thought, Li Yuan already started operating the many Mysteries of the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯


    Rumbling!


    Li Yuan¡¯s body shone with light immediately, a Star Meridian revealing overwhelming sharpness, with endless Might, began voraciously absorbing the essences from the various Exotic Treasures.


    ¡°Hu!¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his heart, his powerful Soul Consciousness stirring the fluctuations of the Law of Earth and the Mysteries of Space, gradually condensing the ¡®Fourth Rank Perfect Star Vein¡¯ on the Life Star of that Perfect Star Vein.


    ¡°If an ordinary Semi-Divine were to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, even with ample treasures, it would probably take years,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But my Soul and Law Comprehension are very advanced, which can greatly save time.¡±


    To cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique is like building a house.


    If materials are sufficient, the construction still requires good craftsmanship to build the house quickly and well.


    As time passed.


    The essence of Exotic Treasures worth nearly two thousand Fangshen Crystals kept depleting, merging into Li Yuan¡¯s body, making his body shine with dazzling light and his aura increasingly majestic.


    Gu You watched this scene quietly by his side.


    ¡°Father,¡±


    ¡°At the Fourth Rank of All Things Divine Body, Li Yuan is becoming more and more like you,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan cultivating this Star Technique, a complicated look flickering in his eyes.


    In those days, Ancient Torch Divine, who dominated in all directions, primarily relied on the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ as his battle Star Technique, with a body like a Divine Artifact, and was extremely fierce.


    ¡°Father! It is fast approaching,¡± Gu You silently thought, ¡°With the rate of Li Yuan¡¯s strength improvement, he¡¯s likely to overcome your Fifth Layer trial at the Semi-Divine stage.¡±


    Ancient Torch Divine left behind five trials, only to be inherited by Direct Disciples who passed them all could they obtain the ultimate treasure he left behind.


    However, Ancient Torch Divine never dared to expect that such an exceptional genius would enter the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Pseudo-God Level Secret Technique ¡®Soul Thought¡¯,¡± Li Yuan, while cultivating the Nine Layer Star Technique, also dedicated a large amount of Heart Power to cultivate the Soul Secret Technique within the Spiritual World.


    ¡°Burning Heart Blade¡± and ¡°Mind Soul¡± were the two main Soul Secret Techniques that Li Yuan was cultivating.

 Chapter 848 - 437: The Transformation of Strength_3

    Chapter 848: Chapter 437: The Transformation of Strength_3


    All are direct routes to the True God Peak level, quite mysterious.


    Even though Li Yuan now has more powerful Soul Secret Techniques, starting from scratch, it is naturally not as easy as using these two Soul Secret Techniques.


    ¡°Burning Heart Blade¡± tends towards soul annihilation and is overly domineering, also the rank placement battle is just a cutting test, not very convenient to use.¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Moreover, the method I¡¯m practicing, ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, serves to refine the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, constructing illusions.¡±


    ¡°Still, using ¡®Six Realisms of Illusion¡¯ as the foundation makes the Pseudo-God level moves of ¡®Mind Soul¡¯ easier.¡± Li Yuan deeply researched.


    After stepping into the Pseudo-God level, the soul becomes more powerful, studying the Path of Souls becomes naturally easier, also making many Soul Secret Techniques increasingly profound.


    ¡°Soul, anchored in the void! So-called Soul Secret Techniques cannot escape from the Mysteries of the Law, especially the Space Law.¡±


    ¡°My understanding direction of the Mysteries of Space, among them I have the ¡®World Direction¡¯, adept in constructing domain worlds.¡±


    ¡°Illusions, stir the desires within people.¡± Li Yuan felt that practicing the ¡°Mind Soul¡± secret technique was incredibly easy, swiftly solving one challenge after another.


    Many difficulties that even Pseudo-Gods struggle to break through in months or even years, Li Yuan could fully comprehend in just a few days.


    This is the advantage of having a strong foundation.


    In terms of Soul Will, in terms of comprehension of Space Law, Li Yuan belongs to the top among Pseudo-Gods¡­ and in addition to the refinement by ¡°Six Realms of Illusion,¡± his speed in practicing Soul Secret Techniques is destined to be terrifying.


    In some sense.


    Unknowingly, Li Yuan has become a peerless genius in practicing the Path of Souls.


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Ancient City, inside the city, the residence of Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡°City Lord.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan has awakened the Nine Star Pulse,¡± Jiang Yuan True God directly said.


    He knew that sooner or later Tai You Heavenly God would notice this, since the opponent manages the Inheritance Divine Artifacts, the Perception Ability is too terrifying.


    Therefore, Jiang Yuan True God simply told him directly.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse?¡± Even the Tai You True God, said to be the strongest in this world, was somewhat shocked and spoke in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God quickly described what he knew. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Broke through to become a Semi-Divine and awakened the Nine Star Pulse?¡± A trace of surprise flashed in Tai You Heavenly God¡¯s eyes.


    Is that a coincidence?


    He pondered for a moment.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, share your thoughts,¡± Tai You Heavenly God slowly said, ¡°I think you should know Xu Yuan¡¯s details¡­ he is not a native life of our world, therefore, I will not bestow upon him some of the deepest essences of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°This is my duty as the City Lord.¡±


    ¡°I understand.¡± Jiang Yuan True God was not surprised that Tai You Heavenly God already knew this.


    Initially, when he reported the news to Li Yuan, he had indirectly indicated that he did not plan to hide the information forever.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, comes from the Divine Realm¡¯s Chaos Divine Court,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°He poses no harm to Jue Xing Ancient City, I only hope, in the coming years, the City Lord will offer him some protection.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God was very clear, once Xu Yuan¡¯s ¡®Nine Star Pulse¡¯ identity is revealed, he would immediately become a thorn in the side of all the powers in this world.


    They would not believe the excuse ¡®Xu Yuan is not a core of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯.


    Once that situation arises, Jiang Yuan True God did not have absolute confidence in protecting Xu Yuan.


    Therefore, he came to see Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡°Chaos Divine Court?¡± Tai You Heavenly God paused, seemingly recalling many things, ¡°Are you sure? Similar to those previous ones?¡±


    Obviously, there have been more than one Chaos Divine Court powerhouses that appeared in this world.


    ¡°Positive.¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded, ¡°He has made a Law Oath.¡±


    ¡°City Lord.¡±


    ¡°The passage in the Ancestral Realm cannot be closed, and Divine Realm powerhouses continue to descend¡­ All signs indicate that it may not be long before our world returns to the Divine Realm,¡± Jiang Yuan True God seriously said, ¡°Perhaps not in our generation, but we also need to plan for the future.¡±


    ¡°If we can form a deep friendship with Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°With Xu Yuan¡¯s talent, in the future upon returning to the Divine Realm, becoming a Heavenly God is almost certain¡­ and he might even have a slight chance to achieve legend.¡±


    ¡°Once we reach that step, it will be a blessing for Jue Xing Ancient City, leaving a legacy for thousands of years,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    Tai You Heavenly God fell into deep thought.


    How could he not know of Xu Yuan¡¯s talents? Merely ¡®Nine Star Pulse at the age of thirty-five¡¯ is enough to shock the present age.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I give you a promise, I will do my utmost to protect him,¡± whispered Tai You Heavenly God: ¡°As long as he poses no threat to Jue Xing Ancient City, he will always be a member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, City Lord,¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a smile.


    Being forever a member of Jue Xing Ancient City, that was the highest promise from Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡­


    Jiang Yuan True God and Tai You Heavenly God¡¯s conversation, naturally, Li Yuan would not know.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month passed!


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s body suddenly burst out with dazzling light, followed by his body swelling up abruptly to a hundred meters tall, his life breath instantly skyrocketed to a terrifying degree.


    ¡°Fourth Rank¡± All Things Divine Body¡± is completely perfected,¡± Li Yuan revealed a joyful expression.


    Boom! Boom!


    Li Yuan swung his palms casually, the explosive force severely compressed the air, instantly causing the entire hall¡¯s space to roar and burst, stirring up a massive fluctuation.


    ¡°The strength, now close to many Level 50 Pseudo-Gods deploying Seven Layer Body Refining Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Haha, good! good! good!¡±


    Pseudo-God Powerhouses, the vast majority have awakened Six Star Pulse, it¡¯s standard to cultivate Seven Layer Body Refining Star Technique.


    Thus, a Level 47 Demigod using Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, usually can match a normal Level 50 Pseudo-God after the explosive release.


    This is also why people like Jiang Shan possess the strength of Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    There¡¯s no other reason, just fundamentally strong.


    ¡°Brother, you have just recently broken through to Demigod not long ago, wait until the Origin Power cultivation reaches the peak of Demigod, then deploying ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, you would be able to rival many Level 52 Pseudo-Gods in strength,¡± said Gu You: ¡°If you further stack and deploy other combat Nine Layer Star Techniques¡­ by then, in terms of pure strength level, you¡¯re probably close to the peak level of Pseudo-God.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    People like Jing Kui, Dongfang Alliance Leader, these Eight Star Vein Demigods, when fully unleashed, would normally match a Level 51 Pseudo-God, at most up to Level 52.


    But himself, having Nine Star Pulse and each Star Technique being extremely terrifying, is destined to far surpass any Demigod on a fundamental level.


    ¡°Continue.¡±


    ¡°Cultivate ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯.¡± Li Yuan calmed down, continuing to cultivate the second Nine Layer Star Technique.


    Cultivating Heaven and Earth River, the demands for the Law of Earth are quite high, but this poses no hurdles for Li Yuan.


    This is also why people like Jiang Shan possess the strength of Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    There¡¯s no other reason, just fundamentally strong.


    ¡°Brother, you have just recently broken through to Demigod not long ago, wait until the Origin Power cultivation reaches the peak of Demigod, then deploying ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, you would be able to rival many Level 52 Pseudo-Gods in strength,¡± said Gu You: ¡°If you further stack and deploy other combat Nine Layer Star Techniques¡­ by then, in terms of pure strength level, you¡¯re probably close to the peak level of Pseudo-God.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

 Chapter 849 - 438: Ranking Battle

    Chapter 849: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle


    The Divine Fire Hall was incomparably vast, with over nine thousand at Semi Divine Level and more than a hundred each at Flying Heaven Level as reserve members, broadly divided into two camps, yet it did not feel crowded.


    The gathering place for Flying Heaven Level members, compared with five years ago, had significantly decreased in number, with only about one hundred and twenty remaining.


    ¡°Many people have broken through.¡±


    ¡°Even Qi Xia and Pang Ting, the two Saint Heirs, broke through several years ago.¡±


    ¡°Their breakthrough is normal; they have been cultivating in Jue Xing Ancient City for over twenty years, it¡¯s about time for them to break through.¡± various Flying Heaven Level members talked among themselves.


    This had already become a common practice.


    Firstly, the lifespan of those at Semi Divine Flying Heaven is limited, cultivating at Semi Divine Level advances much faster, hence it is not advisable to delay too long at Flying Heaven Level.


    Secondly, Jue Xing Ancient City provides many auxiliary cultivation treasures like Chiling Liuhuo Liquid, available for a maximum of 25 years, and the number of trial tasks that Flying Heaven Level can undertake also has a limit.


    For many reasons, Flying Heaven Level reserve members usually only cultivate in Jue Xing Ancient City for 20-30 years before successively becoming Semi Divine.


    ¡°Two Saint Heir positions are now vacant! This is our chance!¡±


    ¡°Yes, the First Saint Heir definitely has no chance, that¡¯s destined for Xu Yuan, but the second and third Saint Heirs, we¡¯ll have to fight for it.¡± some of the stronger Flying Heaven Level members all held this desire.


    The First Saint Heir? They dared not even think about it. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But if they could successfully challenge for a Saint Heir position, even just for the second or third, they could still obtain a vast amount of cultivation resources.


    ¡°Do you think Xu Yuan will break through to Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±


    ¡°I saw him half a year ago; he was still at Flying Heaven.¡±


    ¡°He is just over thirty years old, so young, probably needs another twenty years¡­ Xu Yuan is here! Wait, he has become Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan actually became Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan is here.¡± Not just those hundred plus Flying Heaven realms, but also the nine thousand plus Semi Divines quickly turned their gaze to the black-robed figure flying into the hall.


    His aura was robust, clearly having become Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, became Semi-Divine?¡± The Vice Hall Master ¡®Moon Ji True God¡¯ also paused upon seeing Li Yuan for the first time.


    Moon Yi True God knew Li Yuan held a special status, not comparable to ordinary Flying Heaven Saint Heirs.


    But his reaction was also very quick, transmitting directly: ¡°Xu Yuan, since you have ascended to Semi-Divine, wait by Yue Shan¡¯s side.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan responded and directly flew towards the front of the Semi-Divine group.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan.¡± Many Semi-Divines also transmitted to Li Yuan, most of them from Abyss Country¡­ after all, Li Yuan had spent most of the past five years cultivating alone, rarely making connections with Semi-Divines from other countries.


    ¡°Jiang Shan.¡±


    ¡°Brother Bai Li, keep fighting.¡±


    ¡°Brother Beihong.¡± Li Yuan nodded in response to each greeting.


    Even when Wu Beihong greeted him, Li Yuan didn¡¯t show a cold face, since the other party only had issues with Jiang Shan and had not offended Li Yuan directly.


    In the end, Li Yuan reached the front of the Semi-Divine group, looking around, most of the gathered here were geniuses ranked high on the Semi-Divine List, including those dozen or so Saint Heirs, all present here.


    Strength determined one¡¯s position.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    The burly Yue Shan strode over, his face showing disbelief: ¡°How did you manage to break through so quickly? You completely could have waited until after the ranking battle to break through.¡±


    ¡°I felt I could break through, so I did.¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Didn¡¯t want to delay too long.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s different! If you had broken through to Semi-Divine after the battle, you would still enjoy the Saint Heir treatment.¡± Yue Shan couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°But now that you are Semi-Divine, you must meet the ¡®Saint Heir requirements¡¯ in the ranking battle, otherwise you will immediately lose the Saint Heir treatment.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    This was the rule of the Divine Fire Hall, hence, the vast majority of Flying Heaven Saint Heirs, after becoming Semi-Divine, would lose their Saint Heir status¡­ and even ultimately be unable to regain it.


    After all, the competition for Semi-Divine Saint Heirs is much more intense than that for Flying Heaven Saint Heirs.


    ¡°You know and still did this?¡± Yue Shan said helplessly: ¡°If you had cultivated for another five years and then fought, your chances would definitely have been much greater, at least your Origin Power Cultivation could have reached level 47 or higher¡­ The rewards for your first participation in the Semi-Divine ranking battle are the most astonishing.¡±


    Yue Shan felt somewhat regretful.


    In Yue Shan¡¯s view, even though Li Yuan had exceptional talent, it was impossible to catch up with the efforts of other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs over hundreds of years so quickly¡­ Not to mention other aspects, just the Origin Power Cultivation alone would be much lower.


    After all, even with Eight Star Veins, one typically only reaches level 44 upon initial breakthrough.


    What about the Semi-Divine reserve members present? Almost half had already awakened Seven Star Veins.


    ¡°Brother Yue Shan, don¡¯t worry, my ranking shouldn¡¯t be too bad.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    He knew Yue Shan cared about him.


    ¡°Not too bad? Even if you manage to break into the top three hundred, the difference from a Semi-Divine Saint Heir¡¯s treatment would still be vast, not to mention you just broke through, how tough it is to break into the top three hundred¡­¡±

 Chapter 850 - 438: Ranking Battle_2

    Chapter 850: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_2


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help frowning, as he seemingly had not offended the other party.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, don¡¯t take his words too seriously, he is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Guanming True God, and also one of the leaders in the Divine Fire Hall in the Guanming Divine Country,¡± Yue Shan, the Semi-Divine, conveyed: ¡°He had numerous frictions with the powerhouses of our Abyss Country during previous trial missions.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood the reason.


    Guanming True God is also the king of one of the eighteen core Divine Kingdoms under the Jue Xing Ancient City, and an extremely strong presence amongst True Gods¡­ Guanming True God and Jiang Yuan True God have conflicts.


    This is not a secret in Jue Xing Ancient City.


    As Li Yuan was newly arrived in Jue Xing Ancient City, he was already aware of the conflicts between the two major Divine Kingdoms during his first gathering with Yue Shan, Yang Di, and others.


    Where there are people, there are conflicts of interest, even within the same faction.


    The conflicts between the two True Gods have not reached a life-or-death situation, but they directly affect the attitudes of many powerhouses under their command.


    The lineage of Abyss Country, the lineage of Guanming Divine Country, have always been in conflict.


    Even if Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s power bursts forth, now comparable to a Heavenly Divine, it doesn¡¯t mean that the powerhouses of Guanming Divine Country¡¯s lineage would bow down before the powerhouses of Abyss Country.

    ¡°Resources are limited, and for the competition at the lower and middle levels, the upper echelons probably adopt a tacit approval attitude,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently: ¡°With the temperament of Brother Jiang Yuan and his status, he would certainly not bother with these matters.¡±


    Thinking of this.


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng seems to think that I can¡¯t make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?¡± Li Yuan suddenly smiled and said: ¡°What if I do make it into the top hundred?¡±


    Wow!


    With these words, the surrounding hundreds of Semi-Divines couldn¡¯t help but look towards Xu Yuan.


    ¡°Top hundred of the Semi-Divine List? I haven¡¯t heard about that.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan just became a Semi-Divine, and he wants to break into the top hundred?¡±


    ¡°Even Jing Kui wasn¡¯t this arrogant back in his day, this Xu Yuan is a bit too confident.¡±


    ¡°Even if his talent is extremely high, he¡¯s just had his breakthrough, and the cultivation time is short.¡± These powerful Semi-Divines couldn¡¯t help but convey messages to each other.


    Which Semi-Divine present doesn¡¯t want to smash into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?


    Right!


    Xu Yuan¡¯s name as a peerless genius has long been spread far and wide, and not many would doubt it.


    But to make these powerful Semi-Divines believe that Li Yuan had the strength to be in the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List right after his breakthrough?


    Barely anyone believes that.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, be cautious with your words,¡± Yue Shan, the Semi-Divine¡¯s face also changed, continually transmitting the message: ¡°The top hundred of the Semi-Divine List isn¡¯t so easy to enter.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the golden-armored youngster Bai Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh, smiling at Xu Yuan: ¡°Xu Yuan brother, confidence is good, but too much arrogance is not, you have extremely high talent, but of those ranked in the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, which one of them is weak in talent?¡±


    ¡°It was just six months ago you were still at Flying Heaven, your Origin Power Cultivation probably only reached level 44,¡± the golden-armored youngster shook his head: ¡°Entering the top thousand would be tough.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s aura was extremely restrained, making it very difficult for the present Semi-Divines to determine his Life Level.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, I advise you to keep a low profile in this ranking battle,¡± the golden-armored youngster said casually.


    His words seemedobjective, but in reality, he was suggesting that Li Yuan lacks self-awareness.


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng, then let¡¯s make a bet,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals, betting on whether I can make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List or not. How about that?¡±


    Boom!


    This remark not only drew the attention of the surrounding hundreds of Semi-Divines but attracted even more Semi-Divines to look over.


    ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals?¡±


    ¡°All of my total wealth is not even twenty thousand Fangshen Crystals, truly a Saint Heir! So generous.¡±


    ¡°Haha! Bring on the fight!¡±


    ¡°I wonder if Bai Feng dares to take the bet.¡± Many Semi-Divines were happy to watch the excitement.


    Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals?


    Not to mention that the majority of the Semi-Divine Level members only have the strength of Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, even a Semi-Divine genius like Yang Di cannot ignore such a sum of wealth.


    The expression on Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine, also changed slightly.


    He wasn¡¯t concerned about the ten thousand Fangshen Crystals, for him, being a Saint Heir, it wasn¡¯t hard to produce.


    However, the key was Li Yuan¡¯s attitude, which he couldn¡¯t fathom.


    For a moment, Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine, did not respond.


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng, you just said that me breaking into the top thousand of the Semi-Divine List would even be difficult,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Could it be that you, a grand Semi-Divine Saint Heir, do not even have that much courage? Not even ten thousand Fangshen Crystals to offer?¡±


    A sharp gleam flashed through the eyes of Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine.


    If he didn¡¯t agree, even if Li Yuan ultimately didn¡¯t make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, it would be him losing face.


    Moreover, deep down he simply did not believe Li Yuan could break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List so swiftly.


    ¡°Since Brother Xu Yuan shows such courage, I¡¯ll take up the bet with Brother Xu Yuan,¡± Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine spoke coldly: ¡°If Xu Yuan brother can break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, creating yet another miracle in the Divine Fire Hall, I shall celebrate it with ¡®ten thousand Fangshen Crystals¡¯.¡±


    ¡°But what if Xu Yuan brother doesn¡¯t make it into the top hundred?¡± Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine stared at Li Yuan.


    ¡°I shall bring out ten thousand Fangshen Crystals and apologize to Brother Bai Feng,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal,¡± Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine spoke gravely.


    No Law oath was taken between the two.


    Under the watchful eyes of all, with their statuses and identities, neither side could possibly renege on ten thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    Throughout, the Heavenly Wing True God present on the high platform did not intervene¡­ To the higher-ups, as long as the competition among the talents of the Divine Fire Hall didn¡¯t involve a life or death situation, the fiercer the better.


    Competition brings greater effort.


    The news of this bet quickly spread throughout the Divine Fire Hall, known to all reserve members.


    ¡°They really made the bet?¡±


    ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals! A Saint Heir indeed has money.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, are you really confident in making it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List? Initiating a bet, are you that confident?¡±


    ¡°Who knows?¡±


    ¡°Even after another ten years, bringing his Origin Power Cultivation to the limit, and strengthening his Law Comprehension, with Xu Yuan¡¯s talent, there is a chance to break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, but he¡¯s only been cultivating for so short a time?¡±

 Chapter 851 - 438: Ranking Battle_3

    Chapter 851: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_3


    ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s much hope.¡± Nearly ten thousand reserve members communicated discreetly with each other.


    The vast majority of reserve members did not have a good opinion about Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, Yue Shan, and Yang Di had gathered together, exchanging messages with each other.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, are you really confident?¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine communicated through a message.


    He knew that losing ten thousand Fangshen Crystals wasn¡¯t much for Li Yuan, but the key was the embarrassment of losing.


    ¡°No confidence.¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This!¡± Yang Di Semi-Divine was a bit anxious, feeling that Li Yuan was being impulsive.


    ¡°But having been stepped on, I cannot bow my head,¡± Li Yuan said smiling through a message: ¡°Breaking into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, I¡¯m not sure, but it¡¯s not entirely hopeless.¡±


    Yue Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°When the ranking battle is over, we will naturally know the result,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, then we shall wait and see,¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine said laughing, as he didn¡¯t interact much with Li Yuan.


    But in his opinion, since Li Yuan said so, he presumably had some confidence.


    ¡°Top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?¡± Li Yuan also pondered in his heart.


    Speaking of Material Attack only, he did not have absolute confidence to break into the top hundred, but adding Soul Attack, the situation would definitely be different¡­ However, he wasn¡¯t sure how effective the Soul Attack would be on these powerful semi-divines.


    ¡°When the battle begins, I will naturally find out,¡± Li Yuan felt calm in his heart: ¡°Just do my best.¡±


    As for the wager?


    Even if he lost, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t truly care.


    After experiencing the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ time after time, his inner will grew stronger and stronger, clarity of mind and nature, joy and anger are all from within, only the surface reflects his emotions.


    As time passed, the last few Flying Heaven Semi-Divine arrived.


    Hu!


    A figure in a black robe suddenly flew into the temple entrance, immediately quieting the hall considerably with at least a thousand semi-divines turning their gaze towards that black-robed figure.


    His aura seemed ordinary and his expression indifferent. At first glance, he appeared very ordinary, yet he emitted a mysteriously captivating aura.


    The black-robed young man directly flew to the very front of the lines.


    ¡°Jing Kui.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui has returned.¡±


    ¡°Last time I saw him was five years ago, always rushing back for a ranking battle.¡±


    ¡°He might be the first again, last time he was very close to overcoming the sixth level, if he can break through this time, it means he might be at the peak of Pseudo-Gods,¡± various discussions arose.


    Like the second-ranked He Feng Semi-Divine, third-ranked Dong Pan Semi-Divine, and others like Yue Shan, Bai Feng.


    Previously, these exceptional semi-divines who held the title of Saint Heir, each were very arrogant, seemingly not acknowledging each other.


    But when Jing Kui entered the hall, they all quieted down, just silently watching.


    ¡°Jing Kui.¡± Li Yuan also looked towards that not unfamiliar black-robed figure.


    For some reason, Li Yuan felt the other¡¯s aura was somewhat different from the last time they met.


    The first semi-divine of Jue Xing Ancient City in this generation.


    In this world, he is also one of the most exceptional semi-divines of the generation!


    According to the information obtained by Li Yuan over the last five years, ever since Jing Kui defeated Dong Pan Semi-Divine thirty years ago to become number one on the Semi-Divine List, no one has been able to shake his position in the Divine Fire Hall.


    By age, Jing Kui is actually among the younger ones in the semi-divines of the Divine Fire Hall¡­ this is also the reason why his position is so high.


    Before Li Yuan, Jing Kui was the only Seventh Rank semi-divine.


    Like He Feng Semi-Divine, Dong Pan Semi-Divine, who have practiced for over four hundred years.


    Hu!


    Jing Kui directly descended, standing at the very front of the lineup, and over that, no one disputed.


    The first person should be like this.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡± Suddenly Jing Kui turned his head towards Li Yuan, showing a hint of a smile: ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    ¡°Long time no see,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    This scene also surprised many semi-divines; Jing Kui and Xu Yuan knew each other.


    Suddenly, a voice rang out in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°It¡¯s been five years since we last met at Nine Sounds Divine Mountain, congratulations on becoming a semi-divine¡­ Your Soul Will seems to have grown much stronger, I feel it¡¯s not inferior to mine from the ethereal sense.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve grown stronger too,¡± Li Yuan said smiling through the message.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Jing Kui didn¡¯t say much.


    But as time passed, as just time passed, he also became aware of the wager between Li Yuan and Bai Feng.


    ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals? Interesting,¡± a slight smile appeared on Jing Kui¡¯s lips.


    He was also a bit curious.


    Xu Yuan, really able to break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?


    Suddenly¡ª


    Whoom¡ªan invisible oppressive force enveloped all directions, instantly silencing the entire hall as nearly ten thousand Flying Heaven Semi-divines instantly went silent.


    Hu!


    High above on the platform, the originally empty space began rippling, followed by a fierce figure in red armor appearing, radiating an incredibly destructive aura, like a scorched mini-sun.


    Chi Yang True God!


    Followed by, several strong figures appeared, standing together with Moon Wing True God, specifically the other Vice Hall Masters.


    The ranking battle is a day to inspect the achievements of Divine Fire Hall members, thus these high-level leaders naturally took it seriously.


    After all, the Ancestral Realm battle happening in six years is a ¡®big test,¡¯ and as time approached, these True Gods also hope to see more impressive semi-divines emerging.


    ¡°Not many, most arrived on time,¡± the voice of Chi Yang True God, indifferent, thunderously resounded: ¡°Since many are attending the ranking battle for the first time, let me repeat the rules once more.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven ranking battle, a series of reincarnation duels, each victory adds 1 point, no points deducted for a loss¡­ The final points standing will be the final ranking, deciding the amount of resources for the next five years.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine ranking battle, due to the large number of participants, it¡¯s divided into two major stages.¡±


    ¡°The first stage, break through Divine Fire building, defeat ¡®Divine Fire Warriors¡¯, the more you defeat, the higher the points¡­ Rankings for those after the first thousand are determined by the points.¡±

 Chapter 852 - 438: Ranking Battle_4

    Chapter 852: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_4


    ¡°The top one thousand in the final ranking will enter the second phase, subsequently bifurcated into the top three hundred, the top one hundred, the Saint Heir spot, and the first position.¡± Chi Yang True God¡¯s voice thundered: ¡°Is everyone clear on this?¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Nearly ten thousand people in the Divine Fire Hall, under this intangible oppression, unanimously responded, even those with a strong Soul Will like Li Yuan and Jing Kui.


    The gap between a Demigod and the Peak of a True God is indeed astonishingly wide, almost insurmountable.


    ¡°Very well.¡±


    ¡°Let us begin with the Demigod ranking battles.¡± Chi Yang True God spoke solemnly: ¡°In order, batches of one thousand will enter, the first batch being ranks 1-1000, prepare to enter.¡±


    Whoosh! Chi Yang True God waved his hand.


    ¡°Thunderous roar~¡±


    In the void above the Temple, a space vortex over a kilometer in diameter quickly appeared, flowing faintly with vast flame currents, unfathomably deep, leading to an unknown realm.


    ¡°Is this the entrance to the Divine Fire Tower?¡± Li Yuan looked curiously, he knew about the rules of the ranking battles but had not seen actual combat images.


    At that moment.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Jing Kui, He Feng, Dong Pan, Yue Shan and many other Demigods soared into the space vortex.


    In the blink of an eye, a thousand Demigods vanished within the flame currents¡­


    Rustle~


    In the vast space vortex on the other side of the void, a huge screen reappeared, now directly showing over nine thousand names, including Li Yuan¡¯s.


    For newer Demigods like Li Yuan, Qi Xia, who hadn¡¯t participated in ranking battles before, their treatment was as per the Flying Heaven Level, but their ranks were based on breakthrough times.


    Li Yuan, naturally, was at the very end of the list, ranked ¡®9373¡¯.


    ¡°The challenge has started.¡±


    ¡°Points have appeared, everyone has started their challenge in the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    ¡°Look, Jing Kui¡¯s points are soaring rapidly.¡± Everyone looked up at the names on the huge screen.


    The points numbers behind the foremost one thousand names were flashing continuously.


    Following the changes in points, their names were also continuously changing.


    ¡°1314 points!¡±


    ¡°1460 points!¡±


    ¡°1588 points!¡±


    ¡°Ferocious, Jing Kui is too ferocious, gaining over a hundred points per second? Could it be that he slaughters over a hundred Divine Fire Warriors per second?¡± Thousands of Demigods in the hall were stunned.


    To know, like Yue Shan, Dong Pan, Bai Feng, other Demigod Saint Heirs, their points had just surpassed eight hundred, whereas Jing Kui¡¯s points had already soared close to two thousand¡­ this clearly indicates that Jing Kui¡¯s strength seemed to have created a massive gap from other Saint Heirs.


    ¡°It¡¯s over three thousand now! 3023 points, Jing Kui has already broken into the fourth floor of the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    ¡°This speed is too fast.¡± Many Demigods trembled with awe.


    Jing Kui¡¯s strength was well-recognized; in the last ranking battle, he broke into the sixth floor of the Divine Fire Tower, ultimately accumulating over 5800 points¡­ but his speed today was far beyond prior.


    However.


    The images from the Divine Fire Tower were not leaked, thus, no one knew what methods Jing Kui used.


    Li Yuan kept his gaze fixed on the fluctuating points on the screen.


    ¡°Based on the intelligence I gathered.¡±


    ¡°Passing the first floor represents having the strength of a Level 50 Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Passing the second floor represents having Level 51 strength.¡±


    ¡°And so on.¡±


    ¡°If one can completely pass through the six floors, that represents having the strength of Level 55 Pseudo-God, marking the baseline of the Peak of Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan held his breath: ¡°Jing Kui, how far can you go?¡±


    For a Demigod, it is extremely difficult to unleash the strength of the Peak of Pseudo-God, as it requires astounding Law Comprehension.


    Time passes.


    On that giant screen, after surpassing 5000 points, Jing Kui¡¯s points update gradually slowed down, signaling that his killing speed was also sharply reducing, clearly indicating the increasing difficulty of the sixth floor, yet this killing speed was still far ahead of other Demigod geniuses.


    Until this point, the second ranked ¡®Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯ had just broken through 4000 points.


    ¡°5800 points.¡±


    ¡°5850 points.¡± S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°5900 points!! Just a little more, just need to defeat the last hundred Divine Fire Warriors.¡±


    ¡°5932 points!¡±


    ¡°5966 points!¡±


    At this moment, not only the Demigods in the hall.


    Even the Chi Yang True God, Moon Wing True God and others on the high platform felt a bit of nervousness, harboring a bit of anticipation in their hearts.


    But, can it be achieved?


    ¡°The points are stuck.¡±


    ¡°Stuck at 5988 points.¡±


    ¡°Could Jing Kui be about to fail?¡± All the Flying Heaven Demigods could only stare at the points on the screen.


    Only the seven True Gods on the high platform, having sufficient authority, were able to sense the battle scenario inside the Divine Fire Tower.


    ¡°Only twelve Divine Fire Warriors remain.¡±


    ¡°They will converge into Unity! Representing the ultimate test of the sixth floor of the Divine Fire Tower, one must defeat the strongest Divine Fire Warrior to enter the seventh floor.¡± the six True Gods watched intently.


    If Jing Kui could break into the seventh floor, that would be a whole new realm, an absolutely joyous event.


    ¡°He¡¯s being suppressed, is he going to lose?¡±


    ¡°No, wait.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s erupted! Jing Kui has erupted, his Swordsmanship! Impressive Swordsmanship, the integration of Thunder Law and Space Law¡­ the Might could actually soar to such extents?¡± All six True Gods were astonished.


    They never expected.


    After displaying formidable strength earlier, Jing Kui still had hidden lethal moves.


    Deserving of being a young genius that even Tai You Heavenly God values highly.


    In the Divine Fire Tower.


    Jing Kui, wielding the Divine Sword, was shrouded in endless thunder, each thrust of his sword was like thunder descending from the heavens, exceedingly fast, and the might of the swordsmanship was also refined to the extreme.


    Resembling the incarnation of thunder.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± The hundred-meter tall Divine Fire Warrior was roaring angrily, his strength extremely formidable, each of his stomps powerful enough to shake the void, every punch he threw could smash countless thunders.

 Chapter 853 - 438: Ranking Battle_5

    Chapter 853: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_5


    Break strength with power!


    However, even the strongest Divine Fire Warrior, no matter how ferocious his attack, could hardly touch Jing Kui¡¯s body¡­ His swordsmanship was like thunder and lightning.


    His movement technique was as swift as lightning, flickering in the shaking void, making it impossible for anyone to predict his trajectory.


    ¡°Tss!¡±


    Sword lights whistled through the air, precisely striking the body of the Divine Fire Warrior, with every thrust inflicting injury.


    As the sword strikes accumulated, the Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s injuries worsened.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to end this.¡±


    Jing Kui¡¯s gaze was ice-cold. He suddenly lunged forward with another thrust, like a bolt of lightning following a freshly torn wound, instantly striking the Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s body, where the dreadful might fully erupted.


    Like the final straw breaking the camel¡¯s back.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    This thrust directly struck the core of the Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s body, causing his massive figure to disperse and vanish.


    ¡°Won!¡±


    ¡°The seventh layer!¡± Jing Kui, full of high-spirited elegance, took a brief rest before breaking into the seventh layer.


    The difficulty of the seventh layer soared once again.


    After slaying over a hundred Divine Fire Warriors, Jing Kui was besieged by an overwhelming number of Divine Fire Warriors, and the layer of flame light on the surface of his body continuously faded¡­ The moment it completely disappeared, he vanished from the seventh layer.


    Defeated!


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Hall, as Jing Kui¡¯s Points froze, his name dimmed slightly.


    Whew!


    Jing Kui fell from the massive space vortex, landing directly on the ground and immediately closed his eyes to recuperate.


    The fierce battle had also greatly depleted him.


    The Hall fell into a strange silence, with nearly everyone involuntarily glancing at Jing Kui.


    Although these Semi-Divine geniuses had not witnessed Jing Kui¡¯s combat, his Points told them all about his formidable prowess.


    6134 Points!


    ¡°Peak of Pseudo-God strength, right?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly: ¡°Even the Dongfang Alliance Leader wouldn¡¯t dare to claim he¡¯s stronger than him.¡±


    Of course, this was judging from Dongfang Ji¡¯s strength when he started.


    Time passed.


    One by one, the Semi-Divines from the top thousand rankings began to fall, with most struggling to break 3000 Points. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Eventually, when all one thousand had been defeated, fewer than 400 had surpassed 3000 Points¡­ and the Points ranking of the top thousand had not differed much from the final rankings of the battle five years ago.


    ¡°Made it past the sixth layer.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui has reached the strength of the Peak of Pseudo-God? This!¡±


    ¡°Is the gap between us and Jing Kui really this big?¡± Yue Shan, Dong Pan, Bai Feng, and other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs saw Jing Kui¡¯s score, and their expressions couldn¡¯t help but change.


    As everyone¡¯s means differ, the Points ranking may not entirely reflect strength.


    Ranked second, for example, was Dong Pan Semi-Divine, ending with 5564 Points.


    Yue Shan managed to climb to the fourth place!


    There were a total of 22 individuals with over 5000 Points, and 94 with over 4000 Points.


    However, a vast difference in Points often meant a gap in strength that was hard to overcome.


    Without a doubt.


    Jing Kui, through his actions, proved his status as the ¡®Number One Person on the Semi-Divine List¡¯.


    ¡­


    ¡°Semi-Divine ranks 1001 to 2000, enter the Divine Fire Tower,¡± ordered Chi Yang True God directly.


    Time passed.


    Batches of Semi-Divines entered the Divine Fire Tower, but as the order progressed, the average strength weakened, and after rank 5000, even reaching 3000 Points became a rare occurrence.


    Clearly, for the vast majority of Semi-Divines, it was very tough to undergo a qualitative change in strength in five years.


    Just half an hour later, it was the turn of ranks 8001 to 9000, the Semi-Divine Reserve Members, to enter the Divine Fire Tower.


    This batch of Reserve Members


    Since many were freshly inducted into Jue Xing Ancient City, quite a few stood out, breaking past 2000 Points directly.


    Some even approached 3000 Points, directly shooting into the top thousand ranks.


    This was quite a spectacle.


    Jiang Shan scored over 2700 Points. While not the most dazzling, it was remarkable given his age.


    This score indicated that his strength was enormously close to the Intermediate Rank of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Rank over 2300!¡±


    ¡°Haha! Made it! Made it!¡± Jiang Shan was incredibly excited; achieving his target was no small feat.


    He felt that his hopes of becoming a True God Inner Sect Disciple were rising.


    Thinking this,


    Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t help but turn his head to look at Li Yuan not too far away, thinking to himself: ¡°I wonder how many Points Xu Yuan could score, 3000? 4000?¡±


    Time passed.


    As this batch of Semi-Divines was all in, the first stage of the Semi-Divine ranking battle was drawing to a close, with only the last three hundred or so Semi-Divines left.


    Throughout the Hall, nearly every Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine could not help but look towards Li Yuan.


    In the last batch of Semi-Divines, the most dazzling, without a doubt, was Li Yuan.


    Moreover, with Li Yuan¡¯s bet with Bai Feng Semi-Divine, the attention was even greater.


    ¡°What do you think, how far can Xu Yuan break through?¡±


    ¡°He just broke through to Semi-Divine, even with Eight Star Veins, but his Origin Power Cultivation might not be enough. It will be tough to even score 2000 Points.¡±


    ¡°If he dares to bet, he should at least be able to score 3000 Points, right?¡± Many Semi-Divines and Flying Heavens whispered and discussed among themselves.


    Most people still believed Li Yuan should be able to break through 3000 Points, a benchmark.


    But reaching the higher 4000 Points? Even those with the most confidence in Li Yuan like Yue Shan, Yang Di, Jiang Shan, and others didn¡¯t dare say for certain that he could achieve it.


    After all, so far only 94 people had surpassed 4000 Points.


    Finally.


    In a moment of silence, Chi Yang True God said solemnly: ¡°The remaining Semi-Divine Reserve Members, enter the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, Qi Xia, Ji Yan, Wu Beihong, and other newly inducted Semi-Divines, freshly advanced Semi-Divines, all transformed into streaks of light rushing into the space vortex in the void.


    For an instant, the vast majority of all Semi-Divines and Flying Heavens turned to look at the last name on the giant light screen on the other side¡ªLi Yuan.

 Chapter 854 - 438: Ranking Battle_6

    Chapter 854: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_6


    Lian Jingkui was no exception.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see which floor he can break through.¡± Chi Yang True God, Moon Wing True God, and others started directly observing Xu Yuan¡¯s actual combat situation.


    ¡­


    In the first level of the Divine Fire Tower, within a vast hall spanning nearly a hundred kilometers.


    ¡°No external objects are allowed to be used, no hiding in the Grotto Heaven Treasure is allowed, violators will be disqualified!¡±


    ¡°Once the protective power on the body surface is exhausted, you¡¯re disqualified!¡±


    ¡°Kill all Divine Fire Warriors within a quarter of an hour to be deemed as passing, and you may proceed to the next level.¡±


    ¡°For each Divine Fire Warrior killed, one point is scored.¡± Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere in the hall, feeling the series of detailed rules echoing in his mind.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s peripheral vision swept over the numerous Divine Fire Warriors in the massive hall.


    ¡°[Target Life Level 50.0]¡± Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Exploration and got the results he wanted.


    All of the Divine Fire Warriors, in human form with robust auras, each ten meters tall, their surfaces like cast rock, diffusing a bit of flame light, holding various weapons.


    ¡°They don¡¯t seem like puppets.¡± Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It seems like they are warriors formed by the condensation of formations; the so-called Divine Fire Tower must be a very vast formation.¡± Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Before he could think any further.


    ¡°Hum!!¡±


    In the massive hall, a full 1000 Divine Fire Warriors suddenly moved. Their eyes simultaneously fixed on the shadow in the black robe at the center of the hall¡ªLi Yuan!


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± A thousand Divine Fire Warriors turned into terrifying streams of flame, like flashes of lightning, lunging towards Li Yuan.


    Their flying speed instantly soared to more than 30 kilometers per second.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan stepped forward and instantly grew to a height of ten meters, his aura powerful and domineering. Following that, nine dazzling Yellow Dragons erupted, enshrouded by extremely concentrated earthy-yellow qi streams howling out, surging mightily in all directions.


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body¡±!


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±! Nine Dragons Xuan Armor!


    Three techniques burst forth at the same moment, the vast Domain, like a small world, instantly encompassed the hall with a diameter of less than a hundred kilometers.


    And it completely submerged the thousand Divine Fire Warriors.


    ¡°Hmm? These Divine Fire Warriors don¡¯t have any resistance?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank. These Divine Fire Warriors, which showed Life Levels of Pseudo-God, were much weaker than he had imagined.


    ¡°I understand now.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Law Comprehension. These Divine Fire Warriors, each with very weak Law Realms, have pure strength but nothing else.¡± Li Yuan had come to understand everything.


    A Pseudo-God, aside from powerful Origin Power, can also manipulate the Mysteries of the Origin Law, making it possible to manifest ten to even a hundred times the strength of one unit.


    Without the ability to invoke Law Fluctuation.


    A newly-risen Pseudo-God could easily crush these thousand Divine Fire Warriors, let alone Li Yuan.


    ¡°My Life Level is now at 47.1. With the two Star Techniques unleashed, I can easily crush this level.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The surging, tumultuous earthy-yellow qi flows, like a river, furiously struck upon the bodies of the Divine Fire Warriors.


    Especially the nine Yellow Dragons.


    Now Li Yuan, having almost fully grasped the origin of the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, and with sufficient Origin Power, allowed the might of the nine great Yellow Dragons to be fully revealed¡­ Under the support of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, each Yellow Dragon could match the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Rumble!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    Under the double pressure from the nine great Yellow Dragons and the Heaven and Earth River Domain, in an extremely short time, all one thousand Divine Fire Warriors were slaughtered.


    ¡°Second level.¡± Li Yuan thought, and the nine Yellow Dragons flew back into his body, and he leaped into the second floor.


    Soon after.


    Li Yuan directly broke into the third floor.


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Hall.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has broken through 2000 points.¡±


    ¡°So quickly?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s normal to break through the first level, but he managed to break through the second floor so quickly?¡±


    ¡°In terms of slaughter efficiency for the first two floors, besides Jing Kui, even Yue Shan and Dong Pan don¡¯t seem to be faster than Li Yuan, right?¡± The nearly ten thousand Flying Heaven Demigods were in shock.


    Li Yuan¡¯s slaughter efficiency was astonishing.


    At this moment.


    In the hearts of the thousands of Flying Heaven Demigods, there was only one thought¡ªXu Yuan, a prodigal talent recognized by countless True Gods as comparable to Jing Kui, in his first challenge of the Divine Fire Tower, how far could he advance?

 Chapter 855 - 439: The Terrifying Xu Yuan

    Chapter 855: Chapter 439: The Terrifying Xu Yuan


    Li Yuan¡¯s burst of power indeed shocked all the Flying Heaven Semi-Divines.


    Even Jing Kui and Yue Shan, who had been optimistic from the start, had not anticipated his Slaughter efficiency to be so astonishing.


    ¡°How can Xu Yuan be so strong?¡±


    ¡°Even if we are only talking about the time it took to pass through the Second Level, I am merely slightly faster than him,¡± said Yue Shan Semi-Divine, unable to conceal his shock.


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan¡¯s strength is comparable to yours, Yue Shan?¡± Yang Di couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°But hasn¡¯t he just made a breakthrough to become a Semi-Divine? His Origin Power Cultivation should be far weaker than ours, and his Law Comprehension was only at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God five years ago¡­ Could it be that his Law Comprehension has reached the Pseudo-God Peak level so quickly?¡±


    Just thinking about it made Yang Di Semi-Divine feel it was impossible.


    A bottleneck that many Pseudo-Gods struggled to breakthrough for thousands of years, Xu Yuan surpassed it in just five years?


    Does such a monstrous genius exist in this world?


    ¡°Hard to say, let¡¯s watch,¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine said, staring at the light screen in the void.


    ¡­


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be! How can Xu Yuan be so strong? This is illogical,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine frowned, his heart in disarray.


    Since he dared to wager, he naturally was prepared for the possibility of losing.


    But even if he highly esteemed Li Yuan, he only thought Li Yuan had a slim chance to break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List.


    Now what?


    Even compared to these group of Semi-Divine Saint Heirs, Li Yuan¡¯s efficiency in Slaughter was not the least bit inferior.


    But how long have these Semi-Divine Saint Heirs cultivated, and how long has Li Yuan cultivated?


    ¡­


    ¡°Interesting!¡±


    ¡°If his Slaughter efficiency is so fast, either his strength is extraordinary, or he possesses a powerful group attack method,¡± Jing Kui stood relaxed at the front of the team, expectation flickering in his eyes: ¡°But no matter what, Xu Yuan, you have proven that you are much stronger than you were five years ago.¡±


    ¡°Such rapid growth.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that I will have yet another opponent in the battle of the Ancestral Realm in six years?¡± Jing Kui smiled faintly.


    His experiences from a young age made him fear no additional opponents.


    Every strong adversary is seen as a scenery on his path to growth.


    ¡­


    On the high platform of the Temple, the seven True Gods could observe the detailed combat scenes of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Domain!¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan actually has such a powerful Domain ability, and it seems he has also activated a strong Divine Artifact,¡± said Yue Yi True God softly: ¡°Their combination makes his group attack method extremely astonishing.¡±


    ¡°I suspect it¡¯s the Nine Layer Domain Star Technique! And it has been cultivated to the Fourth Rank¡¯s pinnacle,¡± said a Purple Garment True God: ¡°Such a level of Domain is beyond the reach of many Pseudo-Gods.¡± S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s Law Comprehension may not be high, but if we are only talking about the might of the Domain, looking at the countless geniuses of the Divine Fire Hall, he is enough to compete for the top three,¡± said the Purple Garment True God seriously: ¡°Clearly, the Star Technique is very powerful.¡±


    Apart from Li Yuan, within the members of the Divine Fire Hall who have awakened to Eight Star Veins, there are only three¡­ the rest are Seven Star Veins Semi-Divines.


    Therefore, the number of Divine Fire Hall Semi-Divines who can cultivate two Nine Layer Star Techniques for combat is scarce¡­ among them, none have cultivated the Nine Layer Domain Star Technique.


    Like Jing Kui, he has awakened four Nine Layer Star Veins, and the two combat Nine Layer Star Techniques he cultivates are Body Refining Star Technique and Illusion Body Star Technique.


    A Nine Layer Star Technique cultivated to the Fourth Rank¡¯s pinnacle is a Level 36 Star Technique!


    Whereas a Seventh Layer Star Technique, when a Semi-Divine cultivates it to the Fourth Rank¡¯s pinnacle, is only Level 28, and a Pseudo-God cultivates it to the Fifth Rank¡¯s pinnacle is only Level 35.


    The higher the rank of the Star Technique, the more massive the difference in might later on.


    Li Yuan, even if his Law Comprehension is much weaker than those Semi-Divine Saint Heirs, but as their Origin Power Cultivation is nearing each other, relying on the cultivated to Level 35 ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±, combined with the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, makes his Domain Slaughter exceedingly strong, looking at the Divine Fire Hall¡¯s Semi-Divines, he is indeed at the top echelon.


    ¡°His Origin Power Cultivation should have also reached Level 47, much stronger than we previously anticipated,¡± another Black Armor Vice Hall Master also spoke.


    Before Li Yuan¡¯s burst, these True Gods couldn¡¯t see clearly.


    But once Li Yuan made a move, with the discernment of the True Gods, they naturally could quickly analyze many of Li Yuan¡¯s methods and details.


    ¡°Hmm, your conjectures are almost all correct,¡± Chi Yang True God said softly: ¡°Let¡¯s see how far Xu Yuan can go in the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    ¡­


    The third level of the Divine Fire Tower.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± A thousand Divine Fire Warriors roared into action, the power they possessed was no different from the first and second levels.


    What changed was their Law Comprehension realm, which had all been elevated to the Semi-Divine standard.


    This naturally increased their strength significantly.


    These Divine Fire Warriors, also extraordinarily intelligent, grouped in tens, and surged down upon Li Yuan like a storm.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    ¡°Go!¡± With just a thought from Li Yuan, he deployed his Domain technique again, with nine Yellow Dragons at its core, and those strands of earthy yellow flow surged out like blades, ferociously striking and slicing through the bodies of these Divine Fire Warriors.


    However, the difficulty was skyrocketing.


    On the second level, one Yellow Dragon could slay a Divine Fire Warrior, but now it could only leave scars.


    ¡°Relying solely on Domain is not enough.¡± There was a flash of sharpness in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, and a wave of fluctuations spread out immediately afterward.


    Soul Attack! It penetrated instantly into the bodies of those Divine Fire Warriors¡­ yet, these Divine Fire Warriors were not affected in the slightest, still roaring and charging towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°I was mistaken,¡±


    ¡°If they were puppets, the spirit of the puppet would have consciousness and could be influenced by the Illusionary Realm, affecting their strength, but these Divine Fire Warriors are energy warriors condensed by formations¡­ possessing only the instinct to fight, hence immune to Soul Attacks,¡± Li Yuan immediately realized the Soul Attack was ineffective.


    He must rely on Material Attack to break out of the encirclement.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, his speed much faster than five years ago, unpredictable, and in an instant he flashed numerous Phantom Bodies within the vast Heaven and Earth River.

 Chapter 856 - 439 The Terrifying Xu Yuan_2

    Chapter 856: Chapter 439 The Terrifying Xu Yuan_2


    Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡±!


    Although it¡¯s only the ultimate Third Rank, its might is no less than the Seventh Layer Star Techniques deployed by the Demigods.


    For a moment, the Divine Fire Warriors, already severely slowed down by the Domain suppression, immediately dispersed to pursue and slay each Phantom Body.


    ¡°Exterminate!¡±


    The true body of Li Yuan was hidden among them, and only twenty Divine Fire Warriors charged over.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan already had the Dark Star Divine Spear in hand, as his Long Spear instantly swept across the Vast Sky, followed by a surge of power, piercing through the bodies of three Divine Fire Warriors in an instant.


    Bodies tore apart! Slain in battle!


    Li Yuan, going all out and bolstered by his Domain, saw his Spear Technique¡¯s might reach the standard of Level 52 Water.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Slay!¡±


    Even though Li Yuan¡¯s other Phantom Bodies possessed a certain offensive strength, the remaining Divine Fire Warriors still managed to discern the location of Li Yuan¡¯s true body and pounced towards him like lightning.


    ¡°These Divine Fire Warriors cannot stop me,¡± said Li Yuan casually, as he flickered and interchanged places with his numerous Phantom Bodies, instantly evading the pursuit of the Divine Fire Warriors.


    Whether it¡¯s ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± or ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± the core lies in the words ¡®shadow¡¯ and ¡®illusion.¡¯


    Essentially, it is a highly advanced combat technique of Phantom Bodies.


    The strength of ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± over ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± is that it greatly enhances the resonance between Li Yuan and spatial fluctuations, allowing Li Yuan, with the same Law Comprehension, to form more True Illusion Bodies.


    Phantom Bodies come in many levels.


    The weak ones can be distinguished with a sweep of Divine Thought, while the powerful ones can even contain a certain attack strength.


    The legendary strongest Phantom Body is exactly like the true body, almost like another self, which is truly terrifying.


    Currently, Li Yuan could easily form hundreds of Phantom Bodies with a single thought.


    However, to prevent these Divine Fire Warriors from distinguishing which are real, he could at most maintain thirty-six Phantom Bodies¡­ The more Phantom Bodies maintained, the greater the consumption of Origin Power and the heavier the burden on Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    Moreover, under the cover of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, Li Yuan¡¯s Phantom Bodies became even harder to detect.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s true body interchanges with his Phantom Bodies, the Domain enveloping all sides, continuously slaughtering the Divine Fire Warriors.


    In the end, after a significant expenditure of effort, Li Yuan slaughtered all the Divine Fire Warriors on this floor.


    ¡°The fourth layer!¡± Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan rested for a moment, then transformed into a streak of light and entered the fourth floor of the Divine Fire Tower.


    ¡­


    At this moment, on the ranking screen in the Divine Fire Hall, Li Yuan¡¯s score ranking had soared to 412th place.


    ¡°He¡¯s entered the fourth layer.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s made the top thousand and has the qualifications to participate in the second round of competition.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s speed through the third layer was much slower than the other Saint Heirs, and his efficiency in slaying has noticeably decreased.¡±


    ¡°It looks like Xu Yuan¡¯s true strength can¡¯t keep up with the Demigod Saint Heirs,¡± discussed the Demigods, with the likes of Yue Shan, Dong Pan, Bai Feng, also finally breathing a sigh of relief.


    If Xu Yuan truly broke through to Demigod and caught up with them in strength, that would be too terrifying.


    However.


    As they looked up at the score ranking that was still climbing rapidly on the screen, they couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit wistful and sighed.


    ¡°312th place now.¡±


    ¡°291st place!¡±


    Even though the pace of Li Yuan¡¯s score increase had slowed down sharply, it still couldn¡¯t hide his brilliance. After all, he had been cultivating for just over thirty years.


    ¡°It looks like Xu Yuan can¡¯t make it through the fourth layer,¡± said Demigod Yue Shan in a low voice, ¡°My estimate is that he¡¯ll reach around rank two hundred at best, that¡¯s the limit.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already quite terrifying,¡± Yin Di shook his head and sighed, ¡°This is just his first attempt!¡±


    ¡°But, just breaking through the top two hundred of the Divine Fire Tower, it¡¯s going to be extremely difficult to make it into the top hundred in the second round of competition,¡± Demigod Yue Shan said with a sigh, ¡°Isn¡¯t that going to mean losing the bet?¡±


    Yang Di was stunned for a moment, and looked over at Bai Feng in the distance.


    Bai Feng¡¯s face showed no joy.


    ¡­


    On the high platform of the great hall, the seven True Gods had been closely following Li Yuan¡¯s progress.


    ¡°Xu Yuan will have a hard time getting past the fourth layer.¡±


    ¡°His comprehension of the Laws has greatly improved compared to five years ago, which is already ridiculously exaggerated for his age¡­ but he still lags far behind the likes of Dong Pan and Yue Shan,¡± said Yue Wing True God with a sharp eye, ¡°His mastery of Spear Techniques has just entered the Pseudo-God Middle Rank.¡±


    ¡°Those Demigod Saint Heirs, each of their moves are of Pseudo-God Peak Rank, with Dong Pan and Jing Kui even reaching the Pseudo-God Limit Rank,¡± Yue Wing True God¡¯s gaze was critical.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s strength is roughly at level 52, but his Domain is extremely strong.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Give Xu Yuan a few more decades, and he will be very scary, but currently, his Law Comprehension is still inadequate. He cleared the first and second layers so quickly because his Domain was strong enough; a Domain is an effective weapon against the weak¡­ but the stronger the enemy, the weaker the effect of the Domain,¡± Purple Garment True God also spoke.


    ¡°With his Domain, he can push to about ranking 200, but when it comes to the actual combat, his final ranking will probably plummet to around 400 or so.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, if it comes to a life-and-death battle with other Demigods, Xu Yuan might rank around 300 on the Semi-Divine List,¡± the True Gods communicated amongst themselves.


    Breaking through the Divine Fire Tower is not entirely fair.


    Soul Attacks, for instance, are unusable here, mainly because Demigods generally do not specifically study the Soul and the tests are exceedingly complex; the Jue Xing Ancient City hasn¡¯t set them up specifically.


    In a sense, the upper echelons of Jue Xing Ancient City do not encourage Demigods to delve into the Path of the Soul¡­ After all, for Demigods, the most important tasks are enhancing their comprehension of the Laws and awakening their Life Stars.


    After ascending to God, there will be plenty of time to ponder the Path of the Soul.


    Moreover, those proficient in Domain and area-of-effect techniques will also have a greater advantage in the first five floors of the Divine Fire Tower.


    Only the sixth floor of the Divine Fire Tower will spawn the strongest Divine Fire Warriors, and only those with absolutely formidable power can make it through.

    ¡­


    On the fourth floor of Divine Fire Tower, Li Yuan was fighting with all his might.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill! Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s battle intention soared to the sky, yet deep inside he maintained absolute calmness.


    The Seven Emotions and Six Desires flowed through his heart, but his inner self remained absolutely still; this is the pursuit of the Six Realms of Illusion in tempering the Spiritual Will.


    Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!


    Thirty-six Phantom Bodies flickered in and out of existence, helping to conceal Li Yuan¡¯s real body among them, avoiding the attacks of the Divine Fire Warriors.


    The Spear Technique was sharp and aggressive!


    His movement technique was akin to a ghost!


    ¡°Booming~¡± The endless Divine Fire Warriors conducted a frenzied attack. Each one possessed magnificent and vigorous energy, capable of invoking the Mysteries of the Law with their weapons unleashing tremendous might.


    At this moment, every single Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s strength had far exceeded a Semi-Divine Limit Expert and was approaching that of a Pseudo-God.


    In the vast onslaught of attacks, with each influencing the other, the might in Li Yuan¡¯s Heaven and Earth River Domain was rapidly dwindling, forcing him to continuously contract his domain to suppress the Divine Fire Warriors that were closing in.


    Nine Yellow Dragons? They had been scattered by the combined strikes of the Divine Fire Warriors several times.


    But most importantly!


    The entire hall had a maximum diameter of just 100 kilometers, leaving Li Yuan with very limited space to maneuver.


    ¡°If my Origin Power cultivation reached the 49.9 level! I could significantly boost my capabilities across all areas and likely pass the fourth floor,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now? I fear I might fail.¡±


    The difficulty of each floor in the Divine Fire Tower continuously skyrocketed.


    ¡°Boom! Boom!¡±


    Hundreds of Divine Fire Warriors kept on attacking, and even Li Yuan¡¯s movement technique couldn¡¯t avoid being hit¡­ one mistake could lead to successive hits.

    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Unable to dodge in time, another ruthless strike grazed past Li Yuan¡¯s true body, followed by the complete dispersal of his Protective Spirit Light, and in an instant, Li Yuan vanished from this hall.


    Li Yuan¡¯s final score was 3488 Points.


    Ranked 214th in points!


    ¡­


    Phew!


    Li Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and he gently landed on the ground from the space vortex filled with streams of fire.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan immediately sensed the gazes of envy, jealousy, and admiration in the grand hall.


    ¡°Truly formidable!¡±


    ¡°No wonder he could compete with Jing Kui. Just barely becoming Semi-Divine and yet he¡¯s able to surge to rank 214.¡±


    ¡°Indeed staggering!¡±


    ¡°His strength has improved too fast. I really wonder how he¡¯s been cultivating.¡± Many Semi-Divine Flying Heaven were discussing through voice transmission.


    Although Li Yuan¡¯s rank of 214 was still a fair distance from the ¡®top hundred¡¯ bet with Bai Feng¡­ initially, no one believed Li Yuan could win.


    The rank of 214 was enough to shock everyone.


    Li Yuan had returned to the ranks of powerhouses such as Yue Shan and Yang Di from Abyss Country; they naturally gathered together.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, brother, well done.¡± Yue Shan revealed a smile: ¡°I was worried before, but it turns out you truly have the strength. To surge to rank 214 on your first try, in the ranking battles five years from now, you¡¯re sure to break into the top hundred.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Although you didn¡¯t win the bet this time, nobody will dare underestimate you now,¡± Yang Di also said with a smile: ¡°Look, even Bai Feng has nothing to say.¡±


    In their opinion, if Li Yuan hadn¡¯t broken into the top thousand, it would have been very embarrassing to lose the bet.


    But rank 214? Losing the bet could still be accepted.


    ¡°Yue Shan, brother, Yang Di, brother.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°The second stage hasn¡¯t started yet, have you already decided that I would lose?¡±


    Yue Shan and Yang Di were both surprised.


    From Li Yuan¡¯s words, did he still have confidence in breaking into the top hundred?


    Without waiting for them to ask.


    ¡°The first stage of the Semi-Divine ranking battle has come to an end,¡± a deep voice already came from the high platform, echoing throughout the grand hall, instantly silencing it.


    Chi Yang True God glanced over the crowd and said slowly: ¡°Those who have scored in the top thousand will enter the second round.¡±


    ¡°The battle rules are simple, randomly divided into ten groups based on points rank, each group consisting of one hundred people.¡±


    ¡°Within each group, one hundred people will battle in sequence. Victory earns 1 point, no points for a loss, and the top thirty in each group will become the top three hundred on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°The top ten in each group will be among the Semi-Divine List¡¯s top hundred.¡±


    ¡°The first and second place in each group will enter the top twenty to decide the final top ten,¡± Chi Yang True God said deeply.


    All those who had made it into the top thousand tensed up.


    Round battles are the most brutal! Yet extremely fair!


    Want to break into the top hundred or even the top ten? Then defeat the majority of Semi-Divines in your group.


    Whoosh~


    With a wave of Chi Yang True God¡¯s hand, the massive space vortex in the void dissipated, replaced by densely packed Void Arenas, a total of one hundred.


    Enough for two groups of Semi-Divine powerhouses to battle simultaneously.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    With another wave of Chi Yang True God¡¯s hand, the giant screen in the void flashed, quickly dividing into ten groups, each group with exactly one hundred names.


    Every name had its score reset to 0!


    ¡°Jing Kui is in the first group.¡±


    ¡°Dong Pan is in the second group.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Bai Feng¡¯s rank is around ten-plus, also in the second group.¡±


    ¡°The top ten scorers from Divine Fire Tower each entered one of the ten groups, those ranked eleven to twenty were also scattered across the ten groups¡­¡± Many Semi-Divine Flying Heaven couldn¡¯t help but look up.


    The grouping by point rankings ensured that each group¡¯s strength was very balanced and fair.


    On average, each group had 1-2 Saint Heirs.


    ¡°I am ranked 214, placed in the second group,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the giant screen: ¡°Within group two, my ranking by points is 22¡­ if I wish to advance into the top two of my group to compete for the final top ten, I¡¯ll have to strive for an undefeated battle.¡±


    Only an unbroken string of victories could ensure success.


    However, in Li Yuan¡¯s group two, with Dong Pan and Bai Feng both being Saint Heirs, the difficulty of remaining undefeated was self-evident.


    ¡°Bai Feng!¡± Li Yuan thoughtfully turned his head and coincidentally locked eyes with Bai Feng.¡±

 Chapter 858 - 439 The Terrifying Xu Yuan_4

    Chapter 858: Chapter 439 The Terrifying Xu Yuan_4


    The gazes of the two collided, both fully aware of the other¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡­


    ¡°First group, second group, the 200 Demigod Reserve Members, do not resist, prepare to enter the Void Arena,¡± Chi Yang True God spoke in a deep voice: ¡°The rules are the same as when storming the Divine Fire Tower. I emphasize once again, the use of Law Treasures and other external objects is not permitted. Anyone found doing so will be immediately disqualified.¡±


    Whoosh!


    In an instant, an invisible force enveloped the 200 Demigods, and they were immediately transformed into streaks of light, cast into one Void Arena after another.


    Swiftly.


    Everyone quickly discerned the combatants for the hundred Void Arenas, and one arena immediately attracted the vast majority of attention.


    ¡°It¡¯s Xu Yuan and Bai Feng!!¡±


    ¡°Haha, both are from the second group, and they encountered each other in the first round. Interesting indeed.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan just had a stellar performance in the Divine Fire Tower, and now, in the blink of an eye, he¡¯s faced with tragedy.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s ranked 214th, definitely going to lose.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if Bai Feng will trample over Xu Yuan,¡± numerous spectating Flying Heaven Demigods discussed among themselves. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Compared to this battle, even Jing Kui¡¯s fight wasn¡¯t receiving much attention.


    And all the onlookers unanimously believed that Xu Yuan stood no chance against Bai Feng, the disparity in their strength being evident from the Points ranking.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, relying on his Domain, should be able to hold out for a while.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, although Bai Feng is arrogant, his strength is indeed formidable. Defeating the current Xu Yuan should not be difficult,¡± even the seven True Gods present, including Chi Yang True God, thought so.


    ¡­


    Upon that Void Arena.


    ¡°Hmm? Xu Yuan?¡± Bai Feng, clad in golden armor, couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback upon seeing Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was also astonished.


    Encountering each other in the first round? Both had a suspicion, could it be Chi Yang True God¡¯s doing?


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, your strength is very strong, I take back my words, I admit I underestimated you,¡± said Bai Feng, the Demigod slowly: ¡°However, you¡¯re not my match right now.¡±


    Even if confident in his victory, Bai Feng no longer held his arrogance, nor did he scoff at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng.¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile: ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t know if I can defeat you, but you should take the first move, or you might not get the chance at all.¡±


    ¡°No chance to take the first move?¡± Bai Feng was first taken aback, a flicker of anger crossing his eyes: ¡°Xu Yuan, I¡¯ve been very respectful towards you already.¡±


    Respect?


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng, I didn¡¯t intend to say such things,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°I¡¯m speaking from the heart.¡±


    Li Yuan indeed meant his sincere words.


    The extent of the power of a Soul Attack was something even Li Yuan himself was not sure of.


    ¡°Fine!¡±


    ¡°Brother Li Yuan, then I invite you to take the first move, let me see what ¡®no chance to take the first move¡¯ means,¡± Bai Feng¡¯s face turned sullen, a rage taking hold of his heart.


    Even Jing Kui would not dare to speak to him with such a tone!


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Bai Feng¡¯s gaze turned icy: ¡°Show me all the moves you¡¯ve got.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, his thoughts causing a thunderous roar, as the vast expanse of the Heaven and Earth River Domain erupted, and in an instant enveloped the entire Void Arena.


    ¡°Domain? Such a strong Domain? No wonder you were able to advance so quickly on the first and second levels of the Divine Fire Tower,¡± a flicker of surprise crossed Bai Feng¡¯s eyes, but then his expression turned cold: ¡°But believing you can defeat me with just this Domain tactic¡­ Huh? Not good!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Soul Attack!¡±


    Bai Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, as he felt his consciousness plummet into endless darkness.

 Chapter 859 - 440: Sweeping Everything Before It

    Chapter 859: Chapter 440: Sweeping Everything Before It


    ¡°It¡¯s a Soul Attack!¡±


    ¡°Bai Feng is also a Semi-Divine Saint Heir, whose soul and will have both entered the Pseudo-God Level, and he possesses a Protective Soul Treasure. Logically, he should easily withstand a normal Pseudo-God¡¯s Soul Attack.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, having just broken through to Semi-Divine, how could his Soul Attack be so powerful?¡± The True Gods present on the great hall¡¯s platform all felt rather astonished.


    The might of Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, in the eyes of these True Gods, was not worth mentioning; they themselves could wipe out a Peak of Pseudo-God with a casual Soul Attack¡­ But such an attack coming from a newly advanced Semi-Divine took on a completely different meaning.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Illusionary Realm! Not a direct soul annihilation.¡±


    ¡°From the information I checked earlier, I knew Xu Yuan had a strong Soul Will, but given his young age, he could at most be of the Semi-Divine Saint Heir level (Initial Rank of Pseudo-God)¡­ But now it seems that his Soul Will might well rival that of the Peak of Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°Having a strong Soul Will is just the foundation, but it doesn¡¯t mean it can be transformed into a Soul Attack¡­ Most Peak Pseudo-God Level beings wouldn¡¯t have such powerful Soul Attacks,¡± the True Gods communicated swiftly.


    Ultimately, they all looked towards Chi Yang True God, who was standing at the very front.


    ¡°Everything you¡¯ve mentioned, I already know.¡±


    Chi Yang True God slowly said: ¡°A single thought making Bai Feng succumb, this indicates Xu Yuan possesses astonishing talent in the Soul Path¡­ perhaps even higher than his Law Talent.¡±


    Talent!


    The seven True Gods managed the Divine Fire Hall; their mission was to unearth more young prodigies for Jue Xing Ancient City in order to provide them with focused cultivation.


    ¡°But this is only the first battle.¡±


    ¡°No rush, let¡¯s watch a bit longer,¡± said Chi Yang True God slowly: ¡°If such Soul methods are not just a fluke but the norm, I will naturally report it.¡±


    ¡­


    If the seven True Gods still appeared indifferent, then the thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divines watching in the Temple were thoroughly shocked by the sight of Li Yuan in his black robe.


    ¡°One move, and he defeated Semi-Divine Bai Feng?¡±


    ¡°Bai Feng, he is a Saint Heir! What exactly happened just now?¡±


    ¡°Could it be a Soul Attack? But how could Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack be so terrifying?¡± Countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divines were filled with shock.


    This scene completely shattered their perceptions.


    In their imagination, a clash between top-tier Semi-Divines should involve them using powerful Star Techniques and engaging in fierce combat¡­ not as effortless as it was for Xu Yuan.


    It was as if he had defeated Semi-Divine Bai Feng in a casual conversation.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, as expected!¡± Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, though inconspicuous among the thousands of Semi-Divines, exchanged glances, both slightly emotional.


    Initially, they had both witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s feat of traversing the Nine Sounds Realm; clearly, five years later, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul methods had become even more terrifying.


    ¡­¡±Is this the confidence of Brother Xu Yuan?¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine and Yang Di were both deeply shaken as well.


    They couldn¡¯t help but recall Xu Yuan¡¯s words from earlier.


    Top hundred? If Bai Feng couldn¡¯t withstand Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, how many others could?


    ¡°Yue Shan, are you confident?¡± Yang Di suddenly asked.


    ¡°Me?¡± Yue Shan was taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook his head: ¡°No confidence.¡±


    He truly lacked confidence.


    Not just Yue Shan, He Feng, Yan Dong, and the other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs who hadn¡¯t yet joined the battle, all felt an unprecedented wariness.


    Among the sixteen Semi-Divine Saint Heirs, aside from Jing Kui who was in a league of his own, the strength of the other fifteen was actually very close, all at the standard of Level 54 Pseudo-God¡­ This was nearly the limit of strength a Semi-Divine could achieve.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s second battle is about to start,¡± Yue Shan suddenly pointed at one of the Void Arenas.


    ¡­


    Within one of the Void Arenas.


    ¡°Me?¡± The Semi-Divine Bai Feng had just regained consciousness, his eyes still carrying a hint of bewilderment.


    But he soon became fully alert.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Illusionary Realm! A Soul Attack, I¡¯ve been hit,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine realized in horror, followed by a wave of despair, ¡°I lost? I lost in the first battle?¡±


    Did I also lose to Xu Yuan?


    But he knew he had lost fairly; the Illusionary Realm Xu Yuan deployed was too terrifying, too real.


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost one match.¡±


    ¡°If I want to get into the top twenty, it¡¯s problematic. I must win against Dong Pan to have a glimmer of hope,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine understood his situation clearly.


    In this kind of round battle, losing one match can be very difficult.


    If he can¡¯t even enter the top twenty, the position of Saint Heir might not be secure, and various resources and treatments would plummet.


    ¡°Just do my best,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine gritted his teeth.


    ¡­


    In another Void Arena.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, my name is Shao Li. Though the chances are slim that I¡¯m your match, I will also fight with all my might,¡± said the young man in dark green Combat Armor in a deep voice.


    Inside the Void Arena, it is impossible to watch the scenes of other arenas.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Then make your move,¡± said Li Yuan with a smile, ¡°Otherwise, once I make a move, you¡¯re going to lose.¡±


    The young man in dark green Combat Armor¡¯s eyes hardened, a trace of anger flashing through them.


    The Semi-Divine in the hall already knew Li Yuan¡¯s methods, but the Semi-Divine within each Void Arena did not.


    ¡°Boom¡±


    The moment the young man in dark green Combat Armor moved, he invoked his Domain, and vast flames came into existence out of thin air in the void.


    A giant Divine Sword appeared in his hands, and with a howl, he charged toward Li Yuan.


    With a flash of the sword light, the young man in dark green Combat Armor swiftly closed in on Li Yuan.


    ¡°Coming?¡± Li Yuan watched him, ready to unleash a Soul Attack, seeing no further need to hold back.


    Li Yuan, too, wished to test his methods against more powerful opponents.


    Whir!


    With a thought, Li Yuan unleashed invisible ripples of the soul, which instantly permeated the spiritual world of the young man in dark green Combat Armor as layer upon layer of Illusionary Realm appeared.


    ¡°Huh?¡± The young man in dark green Combat Armor, sensing something amiss, suddenly found his eyes fiercely agitated.


    His consciousness was sinking!


    ¡°Rumble!¡± At the thought of Li Yuan, he deployed the Heaven and Earth River Domain, creating a wildly tumultuous sweep across the entire hall, eventually engulfing the young man in dark green Combat Armor.


    Eliminated!


    If even Bai Feng, who is ranked just over tenth in Points, can¡¯t withstand Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, how could he stand a chance?


    ¡°I won.¡± Li Yuan found it very easy.


    ¡°After repeated tempering by the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ over five years, my soul has been tested countless times and has fallen into despair countless times, which has honed it to an extraordinary level,¡± Li Yuan reflected inwardly, ¡°However, there are still numerous imperfections in the Illusionary Realm formed by invoking his innermost desires.¡±


    Time passed.


    The arena constantly transformed, and Li Yuan swiftly encountered one Semi-Divine Reserve Member after another.


    These opponents from the same group had different attitudes.


    But no matter their Points ranking or how strong they are¡­ all have succumbed to Li Yuan¡¯s Illusionary Realm, and following the expansion of Li Yuan¡¯s Domain, with the nine Yellow Dragons howling, he easily defeated one demigod after another.


    If it were a life-and-death fight, it would actually not be easy to kill these demigods because their material Defense would be astonishing.


    Once a powerful individual encounters a fatal danger, the possibility of becoming alert skyrockets.


    But the key point is.


    In such battles, both sides are enveloped in a layer of ¡®Guardian Spirit Light¡¯, and once the energy contained within the Spirit Light dwindles dramatically.


    Victory!


    Victory! Victory!


    Each confrontation, Li Yuan¡¯s tactics were the same from beginning to end.


    First, he made the opponents fall into an illusion with a Soul Attack.


    Second, before the opponents could wake up, he would use his Domain to break through their Protective Spirit Light.


    Simple tactics, yet no one could stop Li Yuan¡¯s winning streak, and there wasn¡¯t even one who forced him to use his weapons.


    ¡­


    Inside the Divine Fire Hall, thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine were shocked by the scene.


    What did they see?


    Powerful demigods, ranked within the top one thousand in Points, were practically lining up to give Xu Yuan victories.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Soul Attack!¡±


    ¡°Unrivaled in power¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack is terrifying. Purely in terms of Soul Attack, he might well be ranked first,¡± all the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine were sighing in shock, as they were witnessing such powerful Soul Attacks from a demigod for the first time.


    ¡°Group one, Jing Kui is definitely the first, with a 72-match winning streak already.¡±


    ¡°In group two, both Xu Yuan and Dong Pan are on a winning streak. No one can block their pace, Bai Feng has already lost to Dong Pan¡­ Who will be the first in group two out of these two?¡± Many Flying Heaven Semi-Divine had this thought crossing their minds.

    ¡°I think Xu Yuan will win; his Soul Attack is too formidable.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t say for sure! Dong Pan is not inferior to Bai Feng. Before Jing Kui¡¯s rise, Dong Pan has contended for the top spot on the Semi-Divine List multiple times¡­ and his Soul Will is also extremely strong.¡±


    ¡°Right! Dong Pan might be able to withstand it. As long as he awakens in an instant, Xu Yuan will undoubtedly be defeated.¡± Everyone was looking forward to the upcoming pinnacle showdown of group two.


    Whoever wins will laugh till the end.


    ¡­


    The spectators didn¡¯t have to wait too long.


    When Li Yuan completed his 86th consecutive victory and Dong Pan completed his 71st, both appeared simultaneously in a Void Arena.


    Clad in a black robe, Li Yuan, upon seeing his opponent across the arena wearing an earth-yellow robe, also took on a serious expression.


    Dong Pan Semi-Divine!


    Ranked third on the Semi-Divine List and the greatest challenge Li Yuan faced in contending for first place in group two.


    ¡°Brother Dong Pan,¡± greeted Li Yuan with a smile.


    Whoosh!


    With his stout figure, Dong Pan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan with interest and spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Xu Yuan, you must have hidden your strength¡­ otherwise, you could not have won consecutive matches faster than me.¡±


    Combatants in the Void Arena cannot see other arena battles¡­ but they can see the Points ranking.


    ¡°Try it and you¡¯ll see,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, feeling very calm inside.


    A moment later.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The moment Dong Pan Semi-Divine took action, his body expanded to ten meters tall.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    An invisible fluctuation had already swept over, invading the Spiritual World of Dong Pan Semi-Divine instantly.


    ¡°Soul Attack? So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine now understood why Xu Yuan was able to achieve consecutive victories so quickly.


    How could a Soul Attack not be quick?


    ¡°Wake up!¡±


    ¡°Wake up!¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine roared within his heart, his Soul Will as strong as a Pseudo-God¡¯s, desperately resisting the Soul Attack from Li Yuan¡­ with the illusion world in front of him shaking violently.


    Boom!


    The Illusionary World completely collapsed!


    ¡°Such an Illusionary trick is not as strong as I had imagined,¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine was awake now, seemingly unaffected much by Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack.


    At a glance, Dong Pan Semi-Divine could see the earth-yellow airflow surging from all directions.


    Heaven and Earth River Domain!!


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes turned icy as chains manifested around him, drawing upon the terrifying might of heaven and earth, suppressing everything.


    Rumbling~ Numerous Divine Artifact Chains, like great serpents, whipped and dispersed the nine Yellow Dragons, and even permeating towards Li Yuan at the center of the Heaven and Earth River Domain.


    Overwhelmingly unstoppable.


    ¡°Defeated!¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯s figure moved, charging towards Li Yuan like a rampaging War God.


    Li Yuan, although displaying incredibly strong abilities, Dong Pan Semi-Divine was confident that it would take only a few exchanges to utterly defeat Li Yuan.


    But just as Dong Pan Semi-Divine was about to reach Li Yuan in an instant.


    ¡°Dong Pan.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going to lose.¡± Li Yuan, encircled by hefty air currents, corners of his mouth revealing an enigmatic smile.


    Dong Pan Semi-Divine was stunned just for a moment, then suddenly felt severe pain in his brain and body. He saw the world before him shattering like broken glass, with Xu Yuan nearby also disintegrating.


    ¡°I¡¯m still in the Illusionary Realm? Is this multiple layers of illusions stacked?¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine was anxious and angry, finally realizing what was happening.


    But it was already too late!


    Whoosh!


    In the real world, on the Void Arena, rumbling~ the frenzied nine Yellow Dragons were charging towards the struggling and eyes-closed Dong Pan Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± Equivalent to the attack of nine Initial Rank Pseudo-God fighters, with one move, the Protective Spirit Light of Dong Pan Semi-Divine was completely shattered.


    ¡°Illusion!¡±


    ¡°First, I stir up the deep confidence in your heart, making you feel that you¡¯ve broken free from the illusion and that you have already won,¡± Li Yuan stood there, murmuring as he watched the area where Dong Pan Semi-Divine had vanished: ¡°In confidence, your vigilance towards danger drops significantly.¡±


    ¡°Which is often when you¡¯re caught off guard.¡±


    ¡°Dual layers of illusion? If the art of illusion flows to perfection, making the real seem illusory, and the illusory almost real, it confuses people to not distinguish between reality and illusion,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was very calm.


    This battle, Dong Pan Semi-Divine, defeated!!


    Xu Yuan, victorious!


    This battle has also largely represented that, with great probability, the first place in group two will fall into Li Yuan¡¯s hands.


    Only one step away from breaking into the top ten.

 Chapter 860 - 441: Final Ranking

    Chapter 860: Chapter 441: Final Ranking


    ¡°Dong Pan actually lost?¡±


    ¡°Dong Pan¡¯s soul will is so powerful, yet he couldn¡¯t resist Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack?¡± In the temple, thousands of Flying Heaven Demigods were in an uproar, Semi-Divine Heirs like Yue Shan and He Feng had their expressions condensed to the extreme.


    Bai Feng losing was already surprising enough.


    But Dong Pan lost as well? It¡¯s known that Dong Pan cultivated and comprehended the Law of Earth and the Mysteries of Space, which combined to make his defense exceptionally formidable; during his challenges in the Divine Fire Tower, his lack of attack power often meant he could only rank between 2nd to 5th.


    However, in the recent ranking battles, he had consistently secured the second place, and among the dozen plus Semi-Divine Heirs, only Jing Kui could break his defense with his absolute speed.


    In this clash with Li Yuan, Dong Pan was not the slightest bit negligent; he had prepared early to withstand soul attacks.


    Yet he still lost?


    If Dong Pan lost, how many of the Semi-Divine Heirs could win against Li Yuan?


    ¡°Impressive!¡±


    ¡°Even Dong Pan was caught off guard? Before Jing Kui¡¯s breakthrough, Dong Pan¡¯s Law Comprehension was always higher, yet he still lost to Li Yuan?¡± The seven Demigods on the high platform were quite astonished.


    Dong Pan Semi-Divine is only at the Seven Star Veins, so why did he always firmly hold the second place on the Semi-Divine List? It¡¯s because of his extraordinary Law Comprehension.


    And with higher Law Comprehension, influenced by the Origin of the Great Dao, the soul will also tends to be extremely powerful.


    Before the battle, these True Gods had believed that the probability of victory would be greater for Semi-Divine Dong Pan.


    ¡°It seems that Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack method is stronger than we imagined,¡± commented Yue Wing True God in a deep voice.


    ¡°If Dong Pan has been defeated, it¡¯s even harder for others to resist; probably only Jing Kui has hope to withstand it.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s see if Jing Kui can withstand it.¡± This became the consensus among the seven True Gods.


    ¡­


    Defeating Dong Pan made Li Yuan unrivalled in the second group, swiftly winning the subsequent fights.


    Unbeaten! 99 Points!


    With an absolute advantage, he became the first ranked in the second group, and smoothly secured the first spot among the top twenty of the Semi-Divine List.


    After losing to Li Yuan, Dong Pan Semi-Divine quickly adjusted and won all the following battles, scoring 98 points and claiming the second place of the group.


    Bai Feng ultimately seized the third place.


    Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! The hundred combatants of the second group ended their battles more quickly than others, all returning to the ground of the grand hall.


    Almost everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on Li Yuan.


    Defeating Semi-Divine Heirs Bai Feng and Dong Pan consecutively, his strength was undoubtedly respected by all Flying Heaven Demigods.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Haha, congratulations!¡± Yue Shan and Yang Di both greeted Li Yuan with smiles.


    Like Yue Shan, even though they might face Li Yuan later on, possibly becoming adversaries, he still felt happy for Li Yuan¡¯s achievements.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    A deep voice suddenly rang out, closely followed by Bai Feng already walking up to Li Yuan, speaking softly, ¡°I lost the wager this time, here are ten thousand Divine Crystals for you to take.¡±


    Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, a Storage Treasure flew towards Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan stretched out his hand to catch it, and a sweep of Divine Thought confirmed the ten thousand Divine Crystals inside.


    All correct.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, watching as Semi-Divine Bai Feng merged into the crowd.


    Since the opponent conceded the wager gracefully, Li Yuan naturally wouldn¡¯t speak mockingly.


    ¡°Tsk tsk, this guy.¡± Yang Di communicated with a chuckle, ¡°Every time he competed with Yue Shan before, even if he often lost, he would never give in, always claiming he would take it back next time. This time, he actually conceded so promptly and cleanly.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s because brother Xu Yuan is strong enough,¡± Yue Shan said with emotion, ¡°My strength is not much different from Bai Feng¡¯s, and I¡¯ve cultivated for even longer; it¡¯s normal for Bai Feng to be unconvinced¡­ But how long has brother Xu Yuan been cultivating? To defeat him and Dong Pan directly the first time¡­ he will only gap him more in the future.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention Bai Feng.¡±


    ¡°Even Jing Kui, I think, is far from brother Xu Yuan,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile.


    ¡°You flatter me,¡± Li Yuan replied, shaking his head.


    ¡­


    Shortly after the second group¡¯s battles ended, the first group¡¯s battles also came to an end.


    Jing Kui also smoothly scored 99 points, securing first place.


    He quickly learned the results of the second group.


    ¡°Dong Pan lost?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan won? First in the second group?¡± Jing Kui, who was always calm, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, ¡°Employed a soul attack? Even Dong Pan couldn¡¯t resist at all?¡±


    As his biggest competitor, Jing Kui was very clear about Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯s strength.


    Even now that he had a breakthrough in power, defeating Dong Pan swiftly would be difficult; it would still take at least a dozen moves at the least.


    ¡°Jing Kui, you need to be careful,¡± Dong Pan communicated with a cold voice, ¡°While your soul will is stronger than mine, Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack is terrifying¡­ Among the powerful Pseudo-Gods I¡¯ve seen, hardly a few have soul attacks that could match his.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t capsize in the gutter; otherwise, we, the old-timers, would lose too much face,¡± Dong Pan said.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°I will naturally be cautious,¡± Jing Kui said with a smile, a serious expression also flashed across his eyes.


    For the first time, he regarded Li Yuan as an opponent who could contend with him.


    ¡­


    As time elapsed, group by group of combatants entered the Void Arena, and the final rankings were decided.


    Over a day and a half, the top two, top ten, and top thirty of each group were decided in turn.


    It also meant that the top twenty of the Semi-Divine List were solidified.


    Semi-Divine Heirs like Jing Kui, Dong Pan, He Feng, Yue Shan, and others all entered the top twenty.


    Only two were eliminated.


    One was Bai Feng, and the other was Yang You Semi-Divine, who ranked thirteenth on the previous Semi-Divine List.


    She was in the tenth group with Yue Shan. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, neither of them managed to claim the top spot in their group; instead, they both lost to another Reserve Member¡ªXia Ju!

 Chapter 861 - 441: Final Ranking_2

    Chapter 861: Chapter 441: Final Ranking_2


    ¡°Xia Ju, ranked just over sixtieth on the last Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°Unexpectedly seized the first place in ten groups.¡±


    ¡°Consecutively defeating Yue Shan and Yang You, two great Demigod Saint Heirs, is truly fierce! His Star Technique might is strong, and his Sword Technique is also sharp.¡±


    When everyone saw Xia Ju Demigod defeat Yue Shan, they were all startled.


    As a veteran Demigod Saint Heir, although Yue Shan¡¯s strength is not as formidable as Dong Pan and Jing Kui, his ranking has always been very stable, never falling out of the top ten in the recent five rounds.


    The result was actually a loss?


    ¡°Interesting, apart from Xu Yuan, another Xia Ju has emerged?¡± Jing Kui¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and compared to Xu Yuan, he was more interested in Xia Ju.


    After all, Xia Ju¡¯s Sword Technique was clearly very powerful as it was tangible and palpable.


    ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City, indeed a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons lie, another Eight Star Veins has appeared.¡± Li Yuan was also quite surprised.


    Previously, in the Divine Fire Hall, there were nearly ten thousand people, and since Li Yuan was always engaged in battles, he naturally would not use ¡®Divine Palace Exploration¡¯ on every person; at that time, Xia Ju was not conspicuous.


    Breaking into the Divine Fire Tower, he was ranked just over fifty.


    Li Yuan did not give him much thought.


    Only after the second round of ¡®Round Battle¡¯ did Xia Ju rise surprisingly, defeating Yue Shan in one fell swoop. Only then did Li Yuan employ Divine Palace Exploration and discovered that Xia Ju¡¯s Life Level was ¡®Level 48.9¡¯.


    Another Eight Star Pulse!!


    ¡°This Demigod Xia Ju, his earlier Law Comprehension seemed slightly inferior, probably has made a breakthrough in the past five years.¡± Li Yuan pondered: ¡°Once Law Comprehension is approached, Origin Power Cultivation, Star Technique become stronger, naturally surpassing other Demigod Saint Heirs.¡±


    The other Demigod Saint Heirs, except Jing Kui, were only Seven Star Pulse Demigods.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xia Ju, finally exploded.¡±


    ¡°After nearly three hundred years of cultivation, I have finally achieved something, I almost thought he would not become a Demigod Saint Heir and was about to break through to Pseudo-God.¡± The seven True Gods on the high platform communicated with each other through voice transmission.


    The Flying Heaven Demigods were shocked by Xia Ju¡¯s eruption.


    Because for Star Vein Talent, all the Reserve Members kept it a secret from each other; aside from freaks like Li Yuan, others did not know that Xia Ju was an Eight Star Vein.


    But these True God powerhouses knew it long ago.


    ¡°With Xu Yuan added, now Divine Fire Hall has four Eight Star Vein Demigods.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui, Xu Yuan, Xia Ju have all entered the top twenty.¡± Moon Wing True God said with a smile through voice transmission: ¡°On the contrary, Luan Su, clearly an Eight Stars, did not even make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°Luan Su has cultivated for too few years, less than two hundred years old.¡±


    ¡°His Law Comprehension speed is also somewhat slow.¡± The other True Gods expressed their thoughts.


    High Star Vein Talent generally indicates high Law Talent, but the relationship between the two is not absolute.


    Just like Gu You and Li Yuan mentioned the ¡®Man Huo¡¯, who is only a Six Star Pulse True God, in just tens of thousands of years, he has comprehended four Law of the Great Dao, creating Secret Techniques stronger than those of most Heavenly Divine.¡±


    The Demigod Stage is the same case.


    Even if they cultivate for the same number of years, an Eight Star Pulse Demigod is not necessarily stronger than a Seven Star Pulse Demigod.


    Just like the students from Tsinghua and Peking University are generally very strong, but that doesn¡¯t mean every single one of them is better than all the students from other schools.


    Before Li Yuan, among the three Eight Star Vein Demigods in Divine Fire Hall, only Jing Kui demonstrated the overwhelming talent to crush the other Seven Star Pulse Demigods, showing the potential of a Heavenly Divine.


    Therefore, he was valued by Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡­


    Boom~ An invisible pressure enveloped the entire Divine Fire Hall, quickly quieting down the noisy hall.


    ¡°After consultation with the other True Gods, as well as reporting up to the higher authorities of the Ancient City.¡± Chi Yang True God¡¯s voice thundered slowly: ¡°In the end, it is decided that there will be eighteen Saint Heir positions awarded in this Demigod ranking battle.¡±


    Boom!


    Eighteen Saint Heir positions?


    Li Yuan, Xia Ju, Yue Shan, and others within the overall top twenty all showed a serious expression.


    Does this mean that out of these twenty people, two will be excluded?


    Who would want to fail after coming this far?


    ¡°The decisive battle rules are very simple.¡±


    ¡°Each group¡¯s first place will be randomly matched with the second place of another group, cross-battling, the winner enters the top ten, directly becoming a Demigod Saint Heir, and competing for the ultimate first place.¡±


    ¡°The losers will then fight through Round Battle for the last eight Saint Heir positions.¡± Chi Yang True God said slowly.


    This rule was not unexpected.


    Snatching the first place in their own groups, they naturally would have some advantages and not be pitted against other group¡¯s first place. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Soon, the order of the ten matches for twenty to ten were all announced.


    ¡®Jing Kui¡¯ versus ¡®Yue Shan¡¯


    ¡®Li Yuan¡¯ versus ¡®Yan Dong¡¯


    ¡®He Feng¡¯ versus ¡®Yue Shan¡¯


    ¡®Xia Ju¡¯ versus ¡®Dong Pan¡¯


    ¡­


    Each of the ten group battles was very eye-catching, and those who had made it this far were all strong without exception.


    But undoubtedly, the most eye-catching was the confrontation between Xia Ju and Dong Pan.


    Xia Ju is the second most dazzling person in this ranking battle apart from Li Yuan! His Sword Technique is overwhelmingly powerful.


    Dong Pan, on the other hand, is commonly acknowledged as the top three on the Semi-Divine List. Even if he lost to Li Yuan, no one thought he was weaker than the other group¡¯s first place.


    ¡°Yue Shan, you¡¯re in trouble, you¡¯ve actually bumped into Jing Kui.¡± Yang Di couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Yang Di ended up ranked 361st, and his ranking battle had already ended.


    ¡°Jing Kui is indeed hard to beat.¡± Li Yuan said quietly. Although he had not seen Jing Kui¡¯s full force exerted.


    But judging from his performance in the Divine Fire Tower, his strength was indeed much stronger than other Demigod Saint Heirs.


    ¡°No worries.¡±


    ¡°Having only got the second place in the group, I knew it would be tough to enter the top ten of the Semi-Divine List this time.¡± Demigod Yue Shan was rather calm and smiled: ¡°Even if not against Jing Kui, are He Feng, Xia Ju and those guys easy to deal with? Not to mention, if I were up against brother Xu Yuan, I reckon I¡¯d also lose.¡±

 Chapter 862 - 441: Final Ranking_3

    Chapter 862: Chapter 441: Final Ranking_3


    ¡°Regardless of winning or losing.¡±


    ¡°Fight with all your might.¡±


    ¡°Even if you lose, there is still a chance to snatch the Saint Heir position,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile.


    His character was always so, very calm.


    ¡­


    After the duel list was announced, everyone rested only briefly before the duels quickly commenced.


    Perhaps to better motivate the other Flying Heaven Semi-Divines, this time the duels were not held simultaneously but one by one.


    In the first match, Jing Kui battled Yue Shan, and even though Yue Shan exerted all his effort, Jing Kui still won easily.


    Jing Kui¡¯s ease also indirectly proved that his strength had transformed again, reaching a higher level.


    The second battle was Li Yuan versus Yan Dong.


    This fight attracted much attention as well.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Both contestants simultaneously flew into the Void Arena, landing on opposite sides, immediately drawing everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Xu Yuan and Yan Dong, who can win?¡±


    ¡°Definitely Xu Yuan will win. Even Dong Pan couldn¡¯t withstand Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack, let alone Yan Dong?¡±


    ¡°Yan Dong Semi-Divine was only ranked sixteenth in the last session, the lowest-ranked Semi-Divine Saint Heir, and he just lost to He Feng Semi-Divine. Want to win against Xu Yuan? Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!¡±


    Previous continuous victories had already built up Li Yuan¡¯s momentum.


    Ninety-nine percent of the spectators were convinced Xu Yuan would surely win.


    ¡­


    On the Void Arena, Li Yuan and Yan Dong were tens of kilometers apart, facing each other from a distance.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine was dressed in blue Combat Armor, his features eerily beautiful as he held two steel pitchforks, his image somewhat strange and somewhat reminiscent of a ¡®Patrolling Yaksha¡¯, staring intently at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan, still in his black garment.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, strong soul attack?¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine stared intently, his eyes filled with seriousness: ¡°But according to the ranking at Divine Fire Tower, your material attack should be very ordinary.¡±


    He knew Xu Yuan¡¯s formidability, which was also his biggest obstacle to breaking into the top ten.


    Suddenly.


    Both sides moved at the same time.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine instantly transformed into a streak of light, like a lightning bolt sweeping across the void, instantly creating hundreds of Phantom Bodies, each pouncing toward Li Yuan like specters.


    He obviously practiced a Phantom Body-like Star Technique akin to ¡°Nine Shadows Void.¡±


    ¡°Phantom Bodies?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the fluctuation of the Wind System Law! Yue Shan¡¯s information was indeed correct, this Yan Dong Semi-Divine has comprehended the Wind Law, the Mysteries of Space,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were very calm.


    Phantom Bodies? They can evade Divine Sense Inquiry.


    But can they evade a Domain?


    ¡°Rumble~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, a huge Domain descended immediately, a vast yellow stream sweeping through, impacting those Phantom Bodies.


    Sizzle sizzle~ The collision between the Domain and Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s Phantom Bodies, nine Yellow Dragons roared, swiftly annihilating the weaker Phantom Bodies.


    In the blink of an eye, only three Phantom Bodies of Yan Dong Semi-Divine remained, each closely clustered and surrounded by dispersing blue light fending off the erosion from the Heaven and Earth River Domain.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The terrifying Yaksha furiously slashed down, two Yellow Dragons were instantly torn apart.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, your Domain can¡¯t restrain me.¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s momentum was overwhelming as he charged toward Xu Yuan.


    Being other Semi-Divine Limit Experts would have been directly crushed and swept aside by Li Yuan¡¯s Domain.


    But indeed, it couldn¡¯t suppress such an exceptional Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Life and Death Realm!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of haziness, directly unleashing a soul attack.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ Three waves of soul fluctuations erupted simultaneously, sweeping toward those three Phantom Bodies.


    If maintaining soul attacks on hundreds of Phantom Bodies while retaining the strongest attack might, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t do it.


    But attacking just three targets was still very easy.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    The invisible soul fluctuations instantly invaded Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s spiritual world¡­ his spiritual world trembled.


    ¡°Here it comes.¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine instantly understood, his greatest test had arrived.


    Withstand it, and he could win!


    Fail to withstand it, and he would undoubtedly lose.


    ¡°Spiritual Light! All Phenomena Color! Nine Heavens Rhythm!¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s depths of his soul burst forth completely, his terrifying method hidden for many years fully bloomed in an instant.


    ¡°Sss~¡± The soul attack from Li Yuan almost instantly engulfed Yan Dong Semi-Divine.


    Swirling~ Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s spiritual world transformed, as if multiple celestial tiers emerged, sacred and vast, the spiritual light rotated, its might boundless, guarding his spiritual world.


    ¡°Boom boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack was eroding.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s spiritual world resisted.


    ¡°Such a powerful soul attack.¡±


    ¡°My years of practicing the Soul Defense Secret Technique, combined with the ¡®All Phenomena Heart Pearl¡¯ given by my teacher, almost failed to withstand it?¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine was immensely shocked, regaining clarity in an instant: ¡°If I didn¡¯t have the Soul Defense Secret Technique, or the All Phenomena Heart Pearl, I would have definitely succumbed.¡±


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, his soul attack is indeed defying the heavens.¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine was very surprised.


    Actually, when he saw he was matched against Xu Yuan, there was a hint of joy in his heart.


    If he were to contend against other group leaders, he had no confidence.


    Only Xu Yuan, who relied on his soul attack to come this far, while Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s teacher was a ¡®Soul Master¡¯ even more terrifying than the Nine Sound Semi-Divine.


    Therefore, in teaching Yan Dong Semi-Divine, he always emphasized Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s soul defense. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine, clearly remembered his teacher¡¯s words: ¡°The path of the spiritual void is profound and broad, not inferior to the operation of material, you are only a semi-divine, the teacher does not expect you to achieve greatness on the Soul Path, but you must prioritize soul defense.¡±


    Other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs also necessarily did not neglect soul defense.


    It¡¯s just that, most of them, unlike Yan Dong Semi-Divine, did not expend so much energy to specifically find a spiritual secret treasure that matched their soul defense technique.


    ¡°I blocked it.¡±


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s bewildered eyes instantly regained clarity, his fighting spirit soaring: ¡°Xu Yuan, it¡¯s my turn now!¡±


    Boom!


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine swung the two Yaksha in his hands, azure light streaked across the vast sky, its might unparalleled, instantly smashing the two approaching Yellow Dragons to smithereens.


    The Yellow Dragons, merely at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God in combat power, stood no chance against him.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The Heaven and Earth River Domain shook, Yan Dong Semi-Divine moved, his speed far surpassing Li Yuan, already closing in.


    ¡°He blocked it?¡±


    ¡°Even Dong Pan Semi-Divine didn¡¯t block it, and it was blocked by Yan Dong?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, not daring to hesitate.


    Whoosh!


    The Boundary Cloud Spear pierced the void, making the void tremble as if an invisible thread was torn apart, lightning-fast assaulting Yan Dong Semi-Divine.


    Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s fifth form¡ªDivine Trooper¡¯s Intent!


    However, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique was mighty, but Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s weapon might was even more terrifying, the two steel pitchforks fiercely cleaved down.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    A loud noise, the heavens and earth shook, Yan Dong Semi-Divine did not step back, on the contrary, Li Yuan was instantly thrown out, spitting blood, the guardian spiritual light enveloping his body surface rapidly dimming.


    One exchange made Li Yuan understand.


    Although his soul attack was powerful, if the soul attack was ineffective, having just reached semi-divine in terms of material attack, he was far from the match for these peerless semi-divines.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine, possessed level 54 combat capability!


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine, seizing the advantage, approached like lightning, striking furiously again!


    ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡±


    After clashing three times with Li Yuan, the guardian spiritual light on his body surface suddenly dissipated.


    Buzz~ Li Yuan had disappeared from the arena.


    In this battle, Yan Dong Semi-Divine wins! Li Yuan loses.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Yan Dong Semi-Divine won?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan actually lost? He defeated Dong Pan, and now he lost to Yan Dong Semi-Divine?¡± What a sudden shock.


    This battle¡¯s result exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations, even Chi Yang True God and the rest didn¡¯t foresee it.


    After all, Dong Pan, previously ranked second on the Semi-Divine List, lost to Li Yuan, yet Yan Dong Semi-Divine won?


    But regardless of the result.


    The outcome is set!


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack is very terrifying, but now it seems, there are still some extremely powerful semi-divines that can withstand it.¡± Purple Garment True God couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°Once you withstand his soul attack¡­ when it comes to material combat, Xu Yuan is at a disadvantage.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Xu Yuan¡¯s material attack is indeed weaker, just of level 52 standard.¡±


    ¡°Soul attack, very extreme, if the enemy cannot withstand it, he is invincible! But if the enemy can withstand, the effect will drastically reduce.¡± Many semi-divines nodded.

    Chapter 863: Chapter 442: Impact! Dongfang Ji¡¯s Comment (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)


    The battles for the eleventh to twentieth places ended, and the top ten duels were immediately held.


    Jing Kui, He Feng, Dong Pan, and the other ten contestants flew into the Void Arena.


    Li Yuan was already in the hall, leisurely communicating with Yue Shan, Yang Di, and others through voice transmissions, waiting for the end of the ranking battles. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, your soul attack is indeed terrifying,¡± Yue Shan sighed: ¡°During our duel just now, even though I was prepared, I still succumbed to it.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    In the recent 11-20 ranking battles, he had nine victories and was ranked eleventh, while Yue Shan had seven wins and two losses, ranked thirteenth.


    The final ranking for Xia Ju the Demigod was twelfth.


    Both of them performed no better against him than Dong Pan Semi-Divine did.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, you met Yan Dong in the twenty to ten,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile: ¡°Otherwise, with your soul attack, once into the top ten, you might be able to challenge for the second or even first place.¡±


    ¡°A loss is a loss,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°Even if I hadn¡¯t lost to Yan Dong, meeting the first place from the other groups wouldn¡¯t necessarily mean I would win.¡±


    Soul attack is inherently an extreme path.


    ¡°Facing Yan Dong actually exposed my weakness; it may also be a warning to me,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°One can rely on soul attack, but it should not be the only reliance; physical means are the foundation.¡±


    He lost to Yan Dong Semi-Divine.


    It was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s expectation, but not beyond his prediction.


    All these Demigod Saint Heirs possessed level 54 combat power, and except for Jing Kui, the strength gap between each other was very small. For instance, Dong Pan and Xia Ju fought hundreds of moves before determining the winner.


    Similarly, Yue Shan was ranked thirteenth, but is his strength really weaker than the others in the top ten?


    Therefore, it¡¯s quite normal for Li Yuan to see one or even several Demigod Saint Heirs with extremely strong soul defense.


    To achieve the eleventh place was much better than Li Yuan initially expected.


    After all, whether he awakened the Nine Star Pulse or broke through to become a Demigod, it had only been a few months.


    Those Demigods with Seven Star Veins who managed to reach the top hundred in the Divine Fire Hall, which one hadn¡¯t cultivated for hundreds of years?


    They are not among the top one hundred of the nine thousand Demigods in Divine Fire Hall, but the top hundred talents among the several hundred million Demigods under the command of the Jue Xing Ancient City.


    If it weren¡¯t for his soul attack method, Li Yuan estimated he would be ranked in the several hundreds.


    ¡°After this, I need to study soul defense more earnestly,¡± Yue Shan the Demigod said with a smile: ¡°I think others will likely think the same.¡±


    ¡°Even so, once the news of this battle spreads, the top Demigods from Changqing Ancient City, Heavenly Snake Ancient City, and the Six Great Holy Lands will all spend a lot of energy to cultivate Soul Defense Secret Techniques,¡± Yue Shan the Demigod reflected.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    His soul attack was something many Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses couldn¡¯t match.


    And these peerless Demigods would undoubtedly lose against Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses, hence, most of them had no motivation to explore the Soul Path.


    After all, cultivating Soul Defense Secret Techniques did not help in awakening Star Meridians or comprehending the Mysteries of the Law.


    But now.


    Here was an anomaly like himself! With physical attacks not strong enough, his soul attack was overly powerful.


    The key is, he himself was still a Demigod!


    By the time of the Ancestral Realm War, if the top Demigods from all parties do not have strong enough soul defense, they would probably be nervous facing him.


    ¡°Then study it to your heart¡¯s content,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile through transmission: ¡°You should know, I became a Demigod just a few months ago, my Soul Will is still growing rapidly, I can study even stronger Soul Secret Techniques¡­ When the Ancestral Realm War comes, we¡¯ll see whether your defense or my attack is stronger.¡±


    Yue Shan was suddenly stunned.


    Indeed! He had almost forgotten that Li Yuan, having become a Demigod for just a few months, was so formidable.


    What about in six years? Or sixty years?


    It was simply unimaginable!


    ¡°Such a freak! I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore,¡± Yue Shan the Demigod shook his head: ¡°There are at most ten Ancestral Realm Orders¡­ my hopes of competing for them were already slim. Forget it, I¡¯d better focus on the lesser first-rank opportunities.¡±


    The Ancestral Realm is the origin of this world and contains the greatest secrets.


    So many Demigods are eager to join the battle not only for the Ancestral Realm Orders but also because the Ancestral Realm contains many opportunities that even True Gods would covet.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost over.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui has won again,¡± Yue Shan said, pointing to the Void Arena, shaking his head: ¡°Even Dong Pan¡¯s strong defense was swiftly defeated¡­ His strength has indeed transformed.¡±


    ¡°Previously, I actually wanted to see you fight Jing Kui,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile.


    ¡°It would be very difficult for me to win,¡± Li Yuan looked at the Void Arena.


    Jing Kui¡¯s strength was indeed unimaginably strong; be it Dong Pan Semi-Divine or He Feng, Yan Dong, and others, no one could last more than ten moves against him.


    Of course, this was also because the duels were held on the arena where the energy contained in the Guardian Spirit Light induced by the Formation was limited; once it collapsed, one would be deemed defeated¡­ If it were a life-and-death battle, these Demigod Saint Heirs should be able to hold on for dozens of moves.


    Soon after.


    The top ten duels ended, Jing Kui, Dong Pan, and He Feng were still ranked one, two, and three, similar to the ranking battle of the previous session.


    Yan Dong the Demigod was only ranked ninth.


    ¡°This Demigod ranking battle has come to an end,¡± Chi Yang True God slowly said: ¡°Six years from now it will be the Ancestral Realm War, hence, the ranking for the next Demigod ranking battle¡­ will be determined by your rankings in the battle of the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    ¡°I hope you all cultivate diligently in the next six years.¡±


    ¡°Demigods may leave, Flying Heaven Reserve Members prepare to start the ranking battles.¡±


    ¡­


    More than nine thousand Demigods gradually left the Divine Fire Hall.


    ¡°Dong Pan ranked second, yet lost to Xu Yuan who was ranked eleventh.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, in turn, lost to Yan Dong¡±


    ¡°If Xu Yuan had made it to the top ten, he might have challenged for the second place.¡± Although many Demigods had left, their discussions did not cease.

    Chapter 864: Chapter 442 Impact! Dongfang Ji¡¯s Comment (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass Votes)_2


    This time, the most controversial figure in the Demigod Ranking Battle is unquestionably Li Yuan.


    He had only just broken through to become a demigod.


    His Origin Power Cultivation and Star Technique have not yet been cultivated to their limits¡­ yet relying on a powerful Soul Attack, he directly obtained the title of ¡®Demigod Saint Heir¡¯.


    ¡­


    After the Ranking Battle, Yue Shan, Yang Di, and others called upon the demigod powerhouses of the Abyss Country lineage to gather, a rare occasion for such a meeting.


    After the banquet.


    Li Yuan did not return to his own palace, but went directly to the Law Enforcement Temple, making his familiar way to a deep hall within.


    In the hall, there was only one figure. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Brother,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully, having just received a message from Jiang Yuan True God, he naturally hurried over.


    ¡°I¡¯ve learned of your performance in the Ranking Battle,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God with some emotion: ¡°I originally thought that since you had just broken through, it would be difficult for you to even enter the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List. Unexpectedly, you managed to rush to eleventh place.¡±


    ¡°Your Soul Attack is quite impressive.¡±


    When he first received the message from Chi Yang True God, Jiang Yuan True God was quite surprised; he knew Li Yuan had a strong Soul Will¡­ but that was a different matter from having powerful Soul Attacks.


    ¡°It was the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ gifted by the Nine Sounds True God that greatly helped me,¡± said Li Yuan: ¡°Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to construct such an illusory realm.¡±


    ¡°So, I must also thank you, brother.¡±


    This was the truth from Li Yuan.


    The ¡®Six Realms of Illusion,¡¯ in conjunction with the great sun of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, allowed him to surpass many Pseudo-Gods who had been groping on their own for thousands of years within the span of five years. Along with Li Yuan¡¯s rapid advancements in the Mysteries of Space¡­ when combined, they enabled him to instantly create an extremely powerful Illusionary Realm.


    Based on the Illusionary Realm, he then used ¡°Mind Soul¡± to invoke the inner desires of his enemies, naturally making its might terrifyingly powerful.


    The pathway of the soul, when cultivated to the peak, is also exceedingly fearsome.


    ¡°No need to thank me,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, shaking his head with a wry smile: ¡°Although the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ is extraordinary, its effects vary from person to person; your ability to deduce it to this extent in such a short time¡­ sufficiently proves your talent.¡±


    ¡°However!¡±


    ¡°Relying solely on Soul Attacks, it will still be quite difficult for you to seize the Ancestral Realm Order,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°This time, Yan Dong was able to defeat you, and Jing Kui is likely to be able to withstand it as well¡­ By the time of the battle in the Ancestral Realm, talents from other major powers will certainly be more guarded.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod his head.


    This was the same as what Yue Shan had estimated.


    Even though he said ¡®the Soul Attack will be stronger,¡¯ within a short period of time, unless his Soul Will undergoes another Transformation, or if he cultivates the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ to the Third Realm.


    Otherwise, the Illusionary Realm of the Soul Attack would be hard to qualitatively change.


    ¡°If I give you more time, if your Origin Power and Star Technique are cultivated to the limit, do you have the confidence to win against Dong Pan without relying on Soul Attacks?¡± Jiang Yuan True God suddenly asked.


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment.


    ¡°A fifty percent chance,¡± Li Yuan weighed: ¡°After all, the gap in Law Comprehension is too wide, his Law Comprehension is almost at the Pseudo-God Limit.¡±


    A demigod can cultivate at most six kinds of Star Technique.


    Given sufficient time, aside from ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and ¡°True Solution of the Wind Star Vein,¡± he could cultivate four Nine-Layered Battle Star Techniques¡­


    And his Origin Power Cultivation to level 49.9.


    Li Yuan estimated.


    By then, even if his Law Comprehension was considerably weaker, his own strength could reach level 54, not inferior to other Demigod Saint Heirs.


    But, all this requires time.


    What he lacks is time.


    ¡°Hmm, there are still six years until the battle in the Ancestral Realm,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°As a Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins, you already have the foundation.¡±


    ¡°As long as your Law Comprehension progresses further, your mastery of the Spear Technique Profoundness reaches the Peak of Pseudo-God, combined with your Soul Attack, it¡¯s possible that even Jing Kui may not be your match.¡±


    A breakthrough in Law Comprehension?


    Li Yuan was not entirely certain himself.


    Whether it¡¯s solidifying True Intent from the Mysteries of Space or comprehending the Sixth Move of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± both are extremely challenging.


    Like many Pseudo-Gods, thousands of years may pass with their Law Comprehension trapped at the Initial Rank of the Eighth Stage.


    ¡°I will do my utmost,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°By the way.


    ¡°The reason I called you here is actually about your reward,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°As this is your first time in the Ranking Battle and you rushed to eleventh place¡­ by rights, you should be rewarded with three hundred thousand Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    Three hundred thousand Fangshen Crystals? Li Yuan held his breath.


    For many Pseudo-God Peak powerhouses, all their treasures and wealth combined are about at this level.


    ¡°But I have requested from the City Lord,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°to withhold your reward for now.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°You are only a demigod now and residing in our realm, having too many Divine Crystals is also pointless,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°For example, puppets; at most, we can refine Intermediate Rank Pseudo-God puppets, as for Law Treasures¡­ the strongest are only at the level of Pseudo-God Peak, which are of little use to you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    As his strength improves, the usefulness of these external objects would indeed rapidly decrease.


    ¡°So.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m considering waiting until after the battle in the Ancestral Realm when you become a Pseudo-God, or when you are about to leave our realm before telling me what treasure you want,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°Then, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±


    ¡°Take your time, no rush!¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you, brother,¡± Li Yuan nodded and said.


    After Li Yuan left.


    Sigh~


    A hazy will descended upon the hall.


    ¡°City Lord,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, are you truly planning to exchange that treasure for Xu Yuan?¡± the hazy will spoke.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded: ¡°City Lord, that treasure has been lying dormant in the treasury for a long stretch of time without a suitable powerhouse to unleash its might¡­ Given Xu Yuan¡¯s proficiency in the Soul Path, once he becomes a True God in the future, he might be able to wield it perfectly.¡±


    ¡°It is better to bestow it on him rather than letting the treasure collect dust.¡±


    ¡°Alright, as long as you have thought it through. The Ancient City¡¯s inheritance spans a long duration and has its own rules: Heavenly God Artifacts cannot be directly given to anyone and must be exchanged for something of equal value,¡± the hazy will said: ¡°Although that treasure is not a Heavenly God Artifact, it is exceedingly rare.¡±

    Chapter 865: Chapter 442: Impact! Dongfang Ji¡¯s Comment (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass Votes)_3


    ¡°However, he is ultimately a life from the Divine Realm.¡± The hazy will said, ¡°You¡¯ve invested so much in him¡­ I hope he does not let you down in the future.¡±


    ¡°I trust my own judgment.¡± Jiang Yuan True God declared solemnly.


    ¡­


    After returning to his own palace residence, Li Yuan did not rush to continue his cultivation, but went straight to the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    Whoosh!


    A dark red crystal stone appeared in front of Li Yuan, floating in suspension.


    ¡°I wonder what message the Dongfang Alliance Leader has left for me in this token.¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    This dark red crystal stone was given to Li Yuan by Dongfang Ji after the battle of Feixing concluded before he departed.


    At that time, Dongfang Ji explicitly stated that Li Yuan must be a Semi-Divine before he could open it.


    Previously busy with cultivation, now that the ranking battle had concluded, Li Yuan finally had the time.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    With just a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power penetrated the dark red crystal stone, unraveling the numerous marks within.


    The last imprint, a ¡®password¡¯, was broken by Li Yuan using Divine Sense combined with Origin Power.


    ¡°Truly ingenious.¡± Li Yuan secretly marveled, ¡°No wonder the Alliance Leader had said not to try to open it before becoming Semi-Divine, as forcing it might lead to its self-destruction.¡±


    Upon unlocking the final mark.


    Swish~


    The dark red crystal stone instantaneously transformed into countless red streams of light that quickly converged to form a red Phantom.


    It was surprisingly the likeness of Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Alliance Leader.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but speak out.


    ¡°Li Yuan, congratulations.¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile: ¡°You being able to open this mark proves you have broken through to a Semi-Divine. It is unknown how much time has passed or whether you have awakened the Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse¡­ Regardless, with your talent, as long as you brave the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, you should have become a ¡®Chaos Divine Court Silver Garment Member¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Many things, I can now speak to you frankly about.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was suddenly stirred.


    Silver Garment Member?


    Indeed! The Dongfang Alliance Leader and the headmaster should be similar, both having undertaken tasks akin to those of the Silver and Golden Garment.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also noticed that this Phantom in front of him was not an imprint of Dongfang Ji¡¯s consciousness.


    It was merely a segment of imagery.


    ¡°The Nine Leaves Nine Mountains is related to the Chaos Divine Court¡­¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s Phantom slowly said, ¡°I even suspect that the name ¡®Burial¡¯ in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain implies that some significant figure from the Chaos Divine Court may be buried deep within.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with bated breath.


    This was absolutely major news.


    ¡°Black Garment, Silver Garment, Golden Garment, Purple Garment are the four levels designated within the Chaos Divine Court for Semi-Divine Flying Heaven members,¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°Among them, the Silver Garment Members are considered core, yet they are at the very bottom of the core level.¡±


    ¡°Normally, passing the test of the Nine Leaves World grants one the status of Silver Garment Member, accompanied by many advantages.¡±


    ¡°Passing the test of the Nine Mountains World allows one to become a Golden Garment Member,¡± said the Phantom of Dongfang Ji.


    Li Yuan instantly understood.


    It seems that the headmaster Fang Hai had become a Silver Garment Member in those years.


    ¡°Golden Garment Members are highly regarded, so as soon as I passed the test of the Nine Mountains World and was promoted from Silver to Golden Garment, I immediately made a Law oath to rush to the Chaos Divine Court¡­¡± The Phantom of Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°If I am lucky and arrive on time, I should be within the Chaos Divine Court by now.¡±


    The Chaos Divine Court?


    Li Yuan finally understood why Dongfang Ji had to leave in such a hurry¡­ So, it was a forced command from the Nine Mountains World.


    ¡°Purple Garment Members, however, are even rarer.¡±


    ¡°Next, let me tell you about the benefits available to Silver Garment and Golden Garment Members¡­¡±


    ¡°Of course, perhaps you¡¯ve already picked the benefits at the ¡®Eternal Hall¡¯, or maybe you haven¡¯t yet.¡±


    ¡°If you haven¡¯t chosen yet, listen closely,¡± the Phantom of Dongfang Ji advised.


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    According to Dongfang Alliance Leader, if I use the ¡®Return Command¡¯ now, should I be heading to the Eternal Hall to pick the benefits that ¡®Golden Garment Members¡¯ can receive?


    ¡°Both Fang Hai and I have chosen quite a few treasures beneficial for the civilization¡¯s growth; hence, there¡¯s no need for you to choose the same kind¡­¡± Dongfang Ji explained in detail.


    This made Li Yuan gradually understand the choices made by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.


    They had both made significant contributions to the entire civilization.


    ¡°The treasures you choose should as much as possible strengthen yourself.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Although I awakened the Eight Stars Veins, there are still many obstacles to ascending to Heavenly God¡­¡±


    ¡°You, with your Second Rank Eight Star Veins, have much greater hope than both Fang Hai and me.¡±


    ¡°You could even become an exceedingly powerful existent among the Heavenly Gods.¡±


    ¡°By that time, you might be able to resolve the threat that the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain poses to our entire civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said earnestly.


    ¡°Additionally.¡±


    ¡°After you become a Semi-Divine, without sufficient strength and accumulation, do not attempt to brave the Nine Mountains World,¡± continued Dongfang Ji, ¡°I am merely a Semi-Divine with Eight Star Veins, and can only hope to become a Purple Garment Member within the Chaos Divine Court¡­ But you are different, you have a complete chance to awaken the Nine Star Pulse at the Semi-Divine stage.¡±


    ¡°When that time comes, and you once again brave the Nine Mountains World, you will have the opportunity to become a Purple Garment Member in one fell swoop, and the benefits you receive will surely far exceed both your and my imagination.¡±


    ¡°By then,¡±


    ¡°As a Purple Garment Member of the Chaos Divine Court, the treatment you receive will be completely different,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Remember, only when you have sufficient time should you venture into the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    Time passed.


    Thanks to the messages left by Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the so-called ¡®Eternal Hall.¡¯


    After a long time.


    Whoosh~ The dark red phantom suddenly dissipated.


    Not leaving behind a single trace.


    ¡°Alliance Leader Dongfang risked a great deal to leave behind these messages,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°He must be worried I would recklessly attempt the Nine Mountains World trial.¡±


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    ¡°Alliance Leader Dongfang probably didn¡¯t expect that I would directly face the trial for Purple Garment Membership.¡±


    Through analysis and combining his own experiences, Li Yuan had roughly guessed.


    Normally, strong practitioners would sequentially venture into the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains at the Flying Heaven and Semi Divine stages¡­ but for him, this must be the one trial mission.


    If completed, one could potentially become a Purple Garment Member.


    And if failed? There probably won¡¯t be a second chance. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Purple Garment Member task must be completed.¡±


    A sense of longing arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°By then, even if I will be like Alliance Leader Dongfang, I want to go to the Chaos Divine Court and find a way to leave a deep foundation for the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Six years.¡±


    ¡°If I wish to win the Ancestral Realm battle, I must head to the Eternal Hall as soon as possible,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    If before Li Yuan was not in a rush,


    Then, after learning the secrets of the Eternal Hall from the messages left by Dongfang Ji, he understood¡­ opportunity!


    The Eternal Hall was Li Yuan¡¯s chance to make a rapid breakthrough in the next six years.


    ¡°I cannot be impatient¡±


    ¡°The ranking battle has just ended, wait another month,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Then I will apply for the Semi Divine Level trial task and leave Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    Being too weak at the Flying Heaven Level, the trial tasks for Flying Heaven Level reserve members all take place within Jue Xing Ancient City.


    As for Semi Divine Level reserve members, each one is powerful, and many of the tasks are scattered all around this heaven and earth.


    More freedom.


    Bigger gains.


    But also greater danger.


    ¡°First, cultivate all the Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank Limit.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan calmed down and continued to practice the Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River.¡±


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Ancient City, being the strongest power in this world, was always in the spotlight.


    Now, as the critical juncture of yet another Ancestral Realm battle approached¡­thus, other major powers in the world were closely watching the Semi Divine Level talents of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    The news of the Semi Divine ranking battle, even if not spread by the Divine Fire Hall, gradually became known to all forces.


    After all, there were too many participants to keep it completely concealed.


    ¡°Jing Kui, he actually made a breakthrough? This!!¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui was already strong, now with his breakthrough, he probably has a chance to vie for first place in the Ancestral Realm battle.¡±


    ¡°Yes, the chances are significant.¡± Jing Kui¡¯s breakthrough put the various major forces on alert.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, it is said that he is a Third Rank with Eight Star Veins, although it hasn¡¯t been confirmed¡­ He just entered the Semi Divine and rushed to eleventh place? Is he that fierce?¡±


    ¡°Soul Attack!¡±


    ¡°His Soul Attack is terrifying, many of the Semi Divine Saint Heirs from Jue Xing Ancient City can¡¯t withstand it.¡± Apart from Jing Kui, what shocked the major forces the most was ¡®Xu Yuan.¡¯


    A Soul Attack was extreme, but it also represented a horrifying deterrent to the weaker ones.


    ¡°We must pay attention to Soul Defense.¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°No matter how strong Jing Kui is, he¡¯s just one person; if a large number of Semi Divine Level talents join forces, they can hold him off.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui needs to attack several times before he can kill someone.¡±


    ¡°But facing Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, if one cannot withstand it, it¡¯s an instantaneous downfall, even if hundreds or thousands unite, it¡¯s still useless,¡±


    ¡°Find the best Soul Secret Treasures, then cultivate to attune to those Soul Secret Treasures.¡± The various major forces across the world quickly adjusted the cultivation plans for their Semi Divine talents in preparation for the Ancestral Realm battle six years later.


    Such influence brought by Xu Yuan was indeed astonishing.


    But these changes were of no concern to Li Yuan himself.


    ¡­


    Two months later.


    Having cultivated the five Nine Layer Star Techniques to their peak, Li Yuan applied for the trial task.


    He left Jue Xing Ancient City.

 Chapter 866 - 443: Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting the Pseudo-God

    Chapter 866: Chapter 443: Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting the Pseudo-God


    Jue Xing Ancient City, within the palace deep in the Law Enforcement Temple.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Continuously cultivating in silence, Jiang Yuan True God suddenly opened his eyes, he uttered softly: ¡°Chi Yang?¡±


    Whoosh~ A myriad of light and shadows converged, forming a figure clad in red armor; it was indeed Chi Yang True God, who bowed slightly: ¡°Deputy City Lord.¡±


    Currently, Jiang Yuan True God held two positions¡ªDeputy City Lord and Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Temple.


    But naturally, Chi Yang True God would address the highest-ranking title.


    ¡°When?¡± Jiang Yuan True God asked.


    ¡°Xu Yuan accepted a supreme trial mission and has already left Jue Xing Ancient City,¡± Chi Yang True God spoke in a deep voice: ¡°According to your instructions, if there is any special circumstance, he will report to you at the first opportunity.¡±


    ¡°With his strength, a supreme trial mission should pose no problem,¡± Jiang Yuan True God stated indifferently.


    The trial missions that Semi-Divine members could accept were divided into Third Level, Second Level, First Level, and Supreme¡­ with Supreme being the most difficult and rewarding, yet usually extremely dangerous.


    Under normal circumstances, only those in the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List would accept supreme missions, and they would proceed with utmost caution.


    ¡°The mission he accepted is the ¡®Dragon Blood Realm Trial¡¯,¡± Chi Yang True God said: ¡°We will find it very difficult to offer him secret close protection.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Fifth Level Star Domain,¡¯ ¡®Dragon Blood Realm¡¯?¡± Jiang Yuan True God frowned.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Chi Yang True God nodded.


    The Dragon Blood Realm is a strange world born from this universe, located beyond the heavens, vast and boundless. For some special reasons, over the long years it has birthed a large number of powerful beasts containing the bloodline of Divine Dragons.


    Dragons are the origin of all beasts.


    With the bloodline of Divine Dragons, the Dragon Blood Realm has over time given rise to many terrifying beings within the Beast Clan, as well as concealed secrets and treasures¡­ The major powers of the world have all explored the Dragon Blood Realm.


    However, since the Dragon Blood Realm is a Fifth Level World, Sixth Rank True Gods from the outside cannot directly enter. At most, they can send a Pseudo-God to break through within.


    But once they make the breakthrough to True God, if they leave, they also cannot re-enter the Dragon Blood Realm.


    This leads to ceaseless power struggles among all parties. Coupled with the rise of powerful ¡®Dragon Beasts¡¯ within the Dragon Blood Realm itself, even a place as mighty as Jue Xing Ancient City cannot truly control the Dragon Blood Realm; they have only established a branch there.


    ¡°In the Dragon Blood Realm, we only have two True Gods to guard the region, each with their own missions,¡± Chi Yang True God said: ¡°With Xu Yuan¡¯s current strength, it would be difficult for a common True God to follow him without making a sound.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God nodded in agreement.


    The situation in the Dragon Blood Realm has already stabilized, and a consensus has been reached by all parties¡­ Naturally, Jue Xing Ancient City would not deploy too many True Gods to guard it.


    According to his command, if Li Yuan were to carry out a trial mission, in secret a True God would be dispatched to protect him.


    Looking at it now, achieving this would be difficult.


    ¡°Send a message to the Dragon Blood Realm branch, keep things low-key,¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke softly: ¡°Do not allow Xu Yuan¡¯s whereabouts to be exposed¡­ If a mistake leads to an accident, let them stay in the Dragon Blood Realm forever.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Chi Yang True God felt a chill in his heart.


    Whoosh! The Phantom of Chi Yang True God dissipated.


    ¡°Heading to the Dragon Blood Realm?¡± Jiang Yuan True God murmured to himself: ¡°Is Xu Yuan doing this for the trial mission, or does he have another purpose?¡±


    ¡­


    The Dragon Blood Realm, expansive and vast, the entire world stretches for billions of kilometers, much more extensive than any Divine Kingdom.


    Within the continuous mountain ranges, there hovers a massive city, where a large number of cultivators are stationed.


    This is the ¡®Dragon Blood Realm Branch¡¯ of Jue Xing Ancient City, where a multitude of powerful beings are stationed, responsible for overseeing the entire Dragon Blood Realm.


    The strong forces descending from Jue Xing Ancient City to the Dragon Blood Realm would first arrive here.


    In the center of the city, there is a towering tower with a Transmission Array.


    ¡°Old Six, who is coming today?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°The Commander ordered everyone to leave this area, temporarily prohibiting others from coming and going,¡± more than ten Black Armor-clad Pseudo-Gods stood in the high sky, monitoring every direction, communicating with each other through sound transmission.


    As Pseudo-God Level Jue Xing Guards, and the personal guards of the City Lord, they hold high status within the city on regular days.


    Yet today, they are dispatched here solely as guards.


    Whoosh~ The space slightly twisted as a figure in a golden robe stepped out of the void, the powerful aura he emitted made the Pseudo-God Jue Xing Guards tighten their hearts.


    ¡°City Lord?¡±


    ¡°The City Lord has come in person to welcome them?¡± These Pseudo-God Jue Xing Guards were taken by surprise, who exactly is arriving today that the City Lord would personally welcome them.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A dazzling radiance flashed through the Transmission Array, followed by a figure shrouded in black robes stepping out, making it impossible to clearly see his face.


    ¡°A Demigod?¡±


    ¡°Seems to be a Demigod, unable to determine the specific Life Breath, such a clever Technique of concealing one¡¯s aura,¡± they thought.


    ¡°The City Lord has gone up to welcome them, seems very courteous,¡± these Jue Xing Guards were shocked in their hearts; they couldn¡¯t hear the conversation between the City Lord and the figure in black robes.


    ¡°It must be a Saint Heir from the Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Certainly.¡±


    ¡°Just don¡¯t know which one,¡± these Jue Xing Guards guessed in their minds.


    However, they dare not reveal the slightest information.


    As the personal guards of the City Lord, each of them possesses Peak Pseudo-God strength, and they are highly trusted. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Outside the Transmission Array, an invisible force separated all directions, making it impossible to hear the conversation.


    ¡°Mou Zhuo True God, I appreciate it,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°But I am on a trial mission, according to the rules, I can¡¯t accept protection¡­ If it¡¯s found out, it will cause me trouble instead.¡±


    The first thing Mou Zhuo True God said was, ¡°Do you want me to dispatch my personal guards to protect you?¡±


    Li Yuan quickly refused.


    What a joke, to avoid the surveillance of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s upper levels, and not to let them notice that he was deliberately trying to escape surveillance, after careful selection, he chose the Dragon Blood Realm.


    How could he possibly allow a bunch of Pseudo-Gods to follow?


    ¡°That¡¯s true, then I won¡¯t insist,¡± Mou Zhuo True God chuckled: ¡°Then, take my Token with you.¡±

 Chapter 867 - 443: Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting the Pseudo-God_2

    Chapter 867: Chapter 443: Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting the Pseudo-God_2


    Hu! With a wave of his hand, Mou Zhuo True God conjured a golden token.


    ¡°It can serve as a beacon. Should you encounter any danger, crush the token immediately, and I shall come to your aid with utmost haste,¡± he said.


    ¡°However, I am needed to guard the city and cannot leave it for long¡­hence, I cannot protect you at all times,¡± Mou Zhuo True God continued: ¡°Venture through life and death with great caution.¡±


    ¡°A trial task is not devoid of peril,¡± Li Yuan replied: ¡°True Gods defend their territories and you need not worry too much about me.¡±


    ¡°Haha,¡± Mou Zhuo True God laughed and handed over to Li Yuan a fiery red crystal stone: ¡°Though you have received some information about the Dragon Blood Realm in the ancient city, that information came from my reports and is quite rudimentary¡­ The intricacies within the Dragon Blood Realm are only known to us.¡±


    ¡°Contained herein is a summary of all my information on the entire Dragon Blood Realm. Examine it closely; it may aid you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True God,¡± said Li Yuan gratefully. When adventuring into unfamiliar territory, information is of the utmost importance.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll escort you out of the city,¡± said Mou Zhuo True God: ¡°Otherwise, with many eyes about, someone might notice you.¡±


    ¡°Then I must trouble the True God.¡±


    Hu!


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, and promptly he vanished into the void along with Mou Zhuo True God.


    Moments later.


    In the void tens of thousands of miles away from Jue Xing Ancient City, two figures appeared.


    ¡°Saint Heir Xu Yuan, I have brought you this far,¡± Mou Zhuo True God said with a smile: ¡°Further ahead, you must tread on your own.¡±


    ¡°Understood, then I shall take my leave,¡± Li Yuan bowed with folded hands.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, accelerating to speeds over 30 kilometers per second, and rapidly disappeared from Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s vantage.


    The smile on Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s face gradually faded, and he furrowed his brow slightly: ¡°Finally, that harbinger of pestilence is gone.¡±


    ¡°Mou Zhuo, this Saint Heir Xu Yuan might well become the future Heavenly God City Lord,¡± a flirtatious female voice spoke up from the surrounding void: ¡°You seem, however, reluctant to interact with him.¡±


    ¡°City Lord of the Heavenly Gods? It¡¯s not so easy to become one,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Besides, even if he cultivates swiftly, it would still take him thousands of years to ascend to Heavenly God status. By then, I would be nearing the end of my lifespan.¡± Mou Zhuo True God shook his head, a touch of disdain in his eyes: ¡°What does that have to do with me? I¡¯m just a Six Star Pulse True God, with no hope left¡­ I only wish for a life of peace and quiet.¡±


    ¡°Yet you were so courteous just now,¡± the playful female voice laughed.


    ¡°I have no choice but to be polite,¡± Mou Zhuo True God shook his head: ¡°It wasn¡¯t an order from Zhi Jiang Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan possesses astounding talent, yet his arrival in the Dragon Blood Realm spells the genesis of catastrophes. I just hope he isn¡¯t foolish enough to provoke an unbeatable Dragon Beast,¡± Mou Zhuo True God snorted coldly: ¡°Otherwise, I would still have to save him in the end.¡±


    ¡°If he dies by accident, it would only cause more trouble.¡±


    Hu!


    Mou Zhuo True God took a step and disappeared into the void.


    ¡­


    In the Cangmang Mountain Range.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan caused ripples in space, distorting the view and simultaneously minimizing the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Origin Power, doing his utmost to conceal his movements.


    ¡°Sister, that True God didn¡¯t follow, did he?¡± Li Yuan transmitted telepathically: ¡°By my sensing, he didn¡¯t follow.¡±


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current comprehension of Space Law, it was very difficult for a True God to approach him undetected.


    ¡°Rest assured,¡± came the reply.


    ¡°Having passed the fourth test, you¡¯ve further strengthened your control of the Origin of the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ With your Origin Power infusing the Origin, I can also mobilize more of the Ancient Divine Palace¡¯s power,¡± Gu You transmitted back: ¡°For an ordinary True God, if they do not move then so be it, but once they move, it would now be quite difficult to evade the broad sensing scope of the Ancient Divine Palace.¡±


    ¡°Based on your information,¡± continued Gu You.


    ¡°The two True Gods in the Jue Xing Ancient City division within the Dragon Blood Realm are neither at the True God Peak, nor likely have they condensed the True Intention of Space,¡± Gu You said: ¡°For them, it would be difficult to avoid the sensing of the Ancient Divine Palace.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Before embarking on the trial task.


    After bringing the fifth Star Technique to the Fourth Rank Limit, Li Yuan went to undergo the Semi-Divine Level challenge of the Ancient Divine Palace¡­and passed with ease.


    Ancient Flame True God set the difficulty for the fourth challenge to be passable by those with the strength of an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    Soon after, Li Yuan received two treasures left by Ancient Flame True God¡ªtwo Protective Secret Treasures.


    For typical Semi-Divine talents, such as Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, these two great Protective Secret Treasures would be quite impressive.


    According to Gu You, both treasures were refined by the Ancient Flame True God at great costs.


    Regrettably, for Li Yuan, a Nine Star Pulse Semi-Divine, the effects were considerably weaker.


    After all, Ancient Flame True God had not anticipated that his Direct Disciple would awaken the Nine Star Pulse.


    Though only two months had passed, Li Yuan¡¯s strength had already grown substantially since the ranking battle.


    Such is the terrifying nature of a Nine Star Pulse Semi-Divine.


    The starting point of a Nine Star Pulse Semi-Divine often equates to the endpoint of 99% of Seven Star Pulse Semi-Divines. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, for Li Yuan, receiving the two Protective Secret Treasures was secondary¡­ The key was gaining further control over the Ancient Divine Palace.


    The Ancient Divine Palace is indeed wondrous.


    In theory, even a Semi-Divine with the strength of Nine Star Pulse should find it difficult to activate the power of a True God Instrument, but Li Yuan managed to refine a trace of it even when he was a Prime Warrior.


    Having successively passed the second, third, and fourth challenges set by Ancient Flame True God, Li Yuan continuously increased his control over the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Especially after passing the fourth challenge, it was as if he had undergone a metamorphosis.


    Such a special True God Instrument, whether it was the materials left by Qiu Bingzun or the information from Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ none had ever mentioned it.


    The common understanding in the Divine Realm is that only a Pseudo-God Powerhouse can operate a True God Instrument.


    This realization marked the peculiarity of the Ancient Divine Palace for Li Yuan.


    To Li Yuan¡¯s inquiries, Gu You simply explained: ¡°Once you pass the fifth challenge left by your father, all will be revealed.¡±

 Chapter 868 - 443 Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting Pseudo-God_3

    Chapter 868: Chapter 443 Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting Pseudo-God_3


    The fifth trial, Li Yuan also attempted to conquer it.


    It ended in failure.


    Clearly, the ¡®Pseudo-God Level Test¡¯ left by Ancient Flame True God for his direct disciple was still too much for Li Yuan, who had only broken through to the Semi Divine Realm less than half a year ago.


    ¡°Let¡¯s keep moving.¡±


    ¡°Leave the vicinity of the Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s branch.¡± Gu You transmitted: ¡°Then, we can find a place to use the Return Command.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and continued flying forward, constantly perceiving and observing his surroundings.


    As time passed, several hours later, Li Yuan had traveled deep into the earth by millions of kilometers, gradually leaving the ¡®sphere of influence¡¯ of the Jue Xing Ancient City branch.


    Gradually, he finally saw the magical and unusual terrain of the mountains in the Dragon Blood Realm.


    Occasionally, enormous ¡®Blood Mist Areas¡¯ would appear, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, blotting out the sun and obstructing all lines of sight.


    Sometimes, there were towering mountain ranges rising thousands of kilometers high, resembling pillars of heaven and earth, where the space in these areas twisted, becoming blurry if one went too far away.


    Some ancient mountain ranges were cut off in the middle, as if they were the result of a battle between two exceptional powerhouses.


    Suddenly an endless expanse of ocean appeared¡­


    Armed with intelligence from the Mou Zhuo True God, Li Yuan avoided each of these dangerous areas.


    ¡°According to intelligence.¡±


    ¡°The more special the area in the Dragon Blood Realm, the more likely it is to be a birthplace of ¡®Dragon Beasts¡¯.¡± Li Yuan thought quietly: ¡°Some innate Dragon Beasts have strength comparable to the Pseudo-God Peak.¡±


    If he encountered such Dragon Beasts, it would be extremely dangerous.


    Moreover, in the Dragon Blood Realm, there were also hidden ¡®Kings¡¯ among the Dragon Beast species, which were True God level Dragon Beasts, very few in number¡­ but they definitely existed.


    If not so, various powers would have already occupied the entire Dragon Blood Realm.


    ¡°The Dragon Blood Realm, truly worthy of being one of the most mysterious ¡®Fifth Rank Worlds¡¯ in this universe.¡± Li Yuan thought quietly: ¡°No wonder the intelligence from Jue Xing Ancient City suggests, this world could possibly be a bloodline world left by a Heavenly Divine with an Immortal Body.¡±


    But, these are all just speculations.


    Regarding ¡®Immortal Body¡¯, Li Yuan has only seen such descriptions in texts, and does not fully understand the specific meaning.


    Just as Li Yuan was flying over an ordinary mountain range, suddenly.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    From the mountains below, suddenly emerged over a dozen terrifying figures, their speeds astonishing, covering tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.


    In an instant, the clouds and mist in the sky faintly changed, and these massive figures had already charged in front of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Level Dragon Beasts? They¡¯ve finally come.¡± Li Yuan just glanced at them.


    Boom!


    Just one glance! It was like a blade piercing straight into the depths of their souls.


    These Dragon Beasts, some like flying dragons, some like giant serpents, and others like flying birds, their eyes all dimmed one after another.


    Thirty-six Semi-Divines, soul annihilated!


    Dead!


    ¡°[You have killed a Fourth Rank creature, obtained Spirituality Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reached 83.5%]¡±


    ¡°[You have killed a Fourth Rank¡­]¡±


    ¡°[You have killed a Fourth Rank creature, obtained Spirituality Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reached 85.1%]¡± A series of Divine Palace notifications momentarily flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace panel.


    In an instant, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Awakening Level surged from 83.4% to 85.1%.¡±


    ¡°45th level? 46th level? According to intelligence, these Dragon Beasts are naturally born, they should all have Semi-Divine Peak strength.¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    However, not to mention Semi-Divine Peak Experts.


    Even Semi-Divine Limit Experts, in front of today¡¯s Li Yuan, as long as their Soul Will has not reached the Pseudo-God Level¡­ will directly perish.


    This is the terrifying aspect of Soul Attack. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Weaklings teaming up in group battles? For a master of the Soul Path, it holds no meaning.


    Today, with a single thought, Li Yuan can annihilate tens of thousands of Semi-Divine Peak Experts, and his soul won¡¯t even feel exhausted.


    ¡°By finding several more Semi-Divine Dragon Beasts, I should be able to raise my Spiritual Awakening Level to 90%,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    In the past two months, Li Yuan¡¯s soul has grown to level 55, and the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening has reached 90%.


    ¡°Reaching an upper limit of 90% Spiritual Awakening, I can experience another infusion of Origin Power,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°It should allow me to cultivate my Origin Power to level 49.9.¡±


    ¡°When that time comes, it will be the time to enter the Eternal Hall.¡±


    This was one of Li Yuan¡¯s reasons for coming to the ¡®Dragon Blood Realm¡¯.


    Here, he could escape the high-level surveillance of Jue Xing Ancient City, while also enhancing his Spiritual Awakening Level to the limit¡ªwhy not?


    ¡°Humph!¡± With that thought, Li Yuan moved.


    Phut~Phut~Phut~ Suddenly, more than a dozen Semi-Divine Dragon Beast carcasses had their heads split open, blood splattering.


    Without Origin Power protection, the bodies of Semi-Divine Level Dragon Beasts were very fragile before Li Yuan.


    Soon, more than a dozen sparkling ¡®Dragon Crystals¡¯ flew out from the heads of these Dragon Beasts.


    They flew before Li Yuan.


    ¡°Truly miraculous.¡±


    ¡°These ¡®Dragon Beasts¡¯ of the Dragon Blood Realm can be naturally this powerful, all thanks to these Dragon Crystals,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Dragon Crystals are the life core of Dragon Beasts, similar to a Martial Artist¡¯s Origin Pill.


    And Dragon Crystals are also a treasure.


    Various major powers in the Dragon Blood Realm vie for this primary resource, which is also ¡®Dragon Crystals¡¯.


    Whether it¡¯s for refining treasure ¡®Dragon God Blood Essence¡¯ or using Dragon Crystals as raw materials to concoct some Elixirs, they are all very useful.


    ¡°The trial mission I undertook, first, is to obtain three thousand Semi-Divine Level Dragon Crystals, completing it would yield ten thousand Jue Xing points,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°Secondly, it is to gather ten Pseudo-God Level Dragon Crystals, completing it would yield one hundred thousand Jue Xing points.¡±


    This is where Li Yuan¡¯s strength is mighty, with absolute confidence.


    For most members of Divine Fire Hall, venturing into Dragon Blood Realm is very dangerous.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Level Dragon Beasts?¡±


    ¡°Wanting to hunt ten is not easy,¡± Li Yuan said unruffled.


    Humph!


    Li Yuan continued to fly deeper into the Dragon Blood Realm.


    However, like the earlier gathering of large numbers of Semi-Divine Level Dragon Beasts, he no longer encountered them. Often he had to travel a long distance before he could pinpoint and kill a Semi-Divine Level Dragon Beast.


    But it also allowed Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Awakening Level to continuously rise.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan stopped, looking towards a massive blood mist thousands of kilometers away.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s vision, he could vaguely make out the boundaries of this blood mist.


    ¡°That clump of blood mist, its size not too big, very likely conceals a Pseudo-God Level Dragon Beast,¡± Li Yuan noted.

 Chapter 869 - 869: Level 444 Death of the Pseudo-God

    Chapter 869: Level 444 Death of the Pseudo-God


    Following Gu You¡¯s guidance, Li Yuan quickly approached with his aura concealed; gradually, he also noticed that faint disturbance deep within the layers of clouds.


    ¡°Hoo!¡±


    ¡°Hoo!¡± The faint breathing sound caused the massive clouds to toss and roll, as if some ancient beast was slumbering within, snoring loudly.


    ¡°Just tens of kilometers ahead.¡± Li Yuan had already locked onto the location of the other party and stopped.


    A Pseudo-God Level Soul has a Divine Sense range of at least a hundred kilometers, and can reach up to a thousand kilometers at most.


    Li Yuan¡¯s current range of Divine Sense is more than five hundred kilometers.


    However, while within the blood fog, unless Li Yuan used his Domain to disperse it, his Divine Sense perception would be greatly restricted everywhere.


    ¡°This vast blood fog is an innate divine ability of the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast, invoking the special ¡®Power of Heaven and Earth¡¯ within the Dragon Blood Realm, intended to guard against stealth attacks from outside enemies,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s not very useful against me.¡±


    Having cultivated ¡°All Shadows Pseudo God¡± to the pinnacle of Fourth Rank, combined with Li Yuan¡¯s control of space,


    When it comes to stealth, concealment,


    Among the numerous Demigods of Divine Fire Hall, Li Yuan is definitely one of the most top-notch, with very few being his match.


    With every further stage of the Nine Layer Star Technique, each becomes extremely terrifying in its own right.


    For instance, ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± excels in direct combat, the most comprehensive.


    Whereas ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± excels at suppression and binding in group battles.


    And ¡°All Shadows Pseudo God,¡± though not as good as ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± in frontal combat, is also among the very best in phantom body stealth.


    ¡°People like Yue Shan and Dong Pan, in terms of direct combat, I¡¯m afraid they are still slightly stronger than me,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°But if they were to hunt Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts, they would probably have no choice but to forcefully storm in.¡±


    To storm in is very dangerous and accidents are prone to happen.


    After all, judging from the range of the blood fog is quite vague; it¡¯s possible that the blood fog created by a very strong dragon beast is actually quite small¡­ Accidentally provoking a dragon beast with the strength of a Pseudo-God Peak or even Pseudo-God Limit is likely to pose a life threat.


    ¡°Hoo!¡±


    With a single thought from Li Yuan, an invisible fluctuation passed over the huge creature dozens of kilometers away, obtaining the desired result: ¡°[Target Life Level 54, slaying it will yield Spirituality Nourishment].¡± S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Pseudo-God Middle Rank!


    ¡°I thought it was an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, but it turns out to be Pseudo-God Middle Rank,¡± a flash of excitement crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°Well, as long as it¡¯s not Pseudo-God Peak, I can actually try to fight.¡±


    If the opponent were Level 55, Li Yuan would turn around and leave.


    Reaching Level 55 indicates that one¡¯s Law Comprehension is at least at the standard of the Eighth Stage Intermediate Rank. That would be a level stronger than Li Yuan currently is.


    But Level 54?


    If it were Li Yuan from two months earlier during the ranking battles, he likely wouldn¡¯t stand a chance, but after two months of cultivation, he could at least try!


    ¡°At the very least, self-preservation should not be difficult,¡± Li Yuan approached like a shadowless and formless being.


    He could not get any closer.


    The opponent is a Pseudo-God after all, seemingly asleep, yet its Perception Ability is remarkably astounding.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    Li Yuan directly deployed a Soul Attack ¡°Mind Soul,¡± an invisible fluctuation already sweeping over the massive dragon beast, invading its Spiritual World, attempting to plunge it into oblivion.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Although the soul of the dragon beast was strong, it was not like those peerless Demigods ranked high in Divine Fire Hall, each protected by a Soul Secret Treasure.


    Soul artifacts are exceedingly rare, ordinary Pseudo-Gods can¡¯t obtain them, let alone an ordinary dragon beast living in the Dragon Blood Realm?


    Therefore, this dragon beast, in its slumber, was directly hit, its consciousness plummeting into layers of Illusionary Realm.


    Boom!


    The next instant, Li Yuan burst forth with all his might.


    In an instant, his body transformed into a towering figure of a hundred meters, with a robust Life Breath spreading out¡­ After cultivating Nine Layer Body Refining Technique to the Fourth Rank Limit, the Divine Body could completely reach a height of one hundred meters while maintaining the strongest combat power.


    The size of the body changes at will, completely adapting to the opponent.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Vast earthy yellow currents descended, covering a hundred-meter radius, with nine Yellow Dragons roaring and colliding wildly with the surrounding blood fog, continuously obliterating the powers contained within the blood fog.


    It also thoroughly enveloped the soul-entranced dragon beast.


    This dragon beast had four hooves, resembling a large ox, but with a large horn on its head.


    ¡°Suppress!¡±


    With a thought from Li Yuan, numerous Divine Artifact Chains flew out from around his body, intertwining locks chains with astonishing speed, wrapping around the hooves of the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The Divine Artifact Chains glowed brightly, Secret Runes of the Law were instantly activated, their Might churning, aiming to completely suppress the dragon beast.


    This set of Divine Artifact Chains was one of the top-grade Pseudo-God Artifacts that Li Yuan had exchanged from Divine Fire Hall, costing over a thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    Coupled with the ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± Domain, its Might would become even more formidable.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    With Li Yuan¡¯s body becoming immense, the full force of his effort caused the Dark Star Divine Spear to also rapidly increase in size to match his body; infused with the mighty Origin Power comparable to a Level 51 Pseudo-God, invoking Law Fluctuation, and with the Domain¡¯s Might as support, the power of the Dark Star Divine Spear skyrocketed alarmingly.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The spear tip was sharp, striking instantly onto the unguarded chest of the dragon beast.


    In Pseudo-God Powerhouses, the head is no longer the weak point.


    Their Souls and Life Fire Source Pills merge into one, transforming into a unique ¡®Divine Fire¡¯.


    As long as the Divine Fire is not extinguished, life does not cease.


    Pseudo-God Powerhouses, even if their bodies are completely destroyed, as long as the Divine Fire still exists, they can recover once more.


    Therefore, the spot where Li Yuan attacked was precisely where the ¡®Divine Fire¡¯ of the dragon beast resided.


    ¡°Thump!¡± Like a collision between two high-speed stars.


    Despite the large size and sturdy body of the dragon beast, it was still sent flying backward by the impact of the spear, its scales shattered, tearing a vast wound, with flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

 Chapter 870 - 870: Level 444 Death of the Pseudo-God_2

    Chapter 870: Level 444 Death of the Pseudo-God_2


    ¡°Ao~~¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast¡¯s soul consciousness struggled continuously within the Illusionary Realm, attempting to wake up¡­ Its body was critically injured, stimulating its soul, allowing it to instantly break free.


    In an instant, it sensed its own peril.


    ¡°Demigod?¡±


    ¡°Human Demigod? Seeking death! Death! Death!¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast erupted in fury, its massive body instantly radiating layers of Golden Light, making its Life Breath skyrocket as its torn wounds rapidly healed.


    Body Refining Star Technique!


    The moment it regained consciousness, the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast executed the Body Refining Star Technique, its power surging instantly.


    Over the surface of its body, a layer of black Combat Armor appeared, clearly manifesting the activation of a Divine Artifact.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast moved, its four massive limbs dancing, each claw over a hundred meters long, stomping on the void, trying to break free from the constraints of the Divine Artifact Chains.


    However, had the Divine Artifact Chains not fully activated, it would have been a different story, but with complete activation and Domain suppression, how could it break free so easily?


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    As the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast struggled, an overwhelming barrage of spear shadows enveloped it again, attacking the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast, forcing it into a constant retreat and inflicting continuous damage on its body.


    ¡°This human, the Soul Attack just now, must have involved using a Secret Treasure.¡±


    ¡°But this Spear Technique is definitely his own attack. Although he¡¯s just a Demigod, how can his material attacks be comparable to mine?¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast internally trembled as it fully felt the terrifying Might contained within the Long Spear,


    Meeting such a powerful Demigod, in its journey of a thousand years, was a first.


    In the past.


    Those Demigod lives, whether human or Exotic Beast from beyond the stars, or other Dragon Beasts¡­ were all casually obliterated by it.


    ¡°Escape!¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast felt the urge to retreat, its long life making it acutely aware that such a terrifying human Demigod likely had a powerful background that could scare one to death, possibly possessing some astounding Secret Treasure.


    Boom~ The colossal power contained within its body erupted, dragging along the Divine Artifact Chains, attempting to rush towards distant places.


    ¡°Trying to flee?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure was elusive, manipulating the chains of the Divine Artifact, whistling as he chased after to kill.


    Within the Heaven and Earth River Domain, under the double suppression of the Divine Artifact Chains, the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast had no chance of escaping, its speed pitifully slow.


    ¡°Human!¡±


    ¡°You may wound me, but you cannot kill me,¡± roared the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast: ¡°Keep fighting, and when my other brothers arrive, your death is certain.¡±


    ¡°Then call your brothers, so I can kill them all at once, saving me the trouble of seeking them out one by one,¡± Li Yuan communicated back, his hand wielding the Dark Star Divine Spear unaffected, striking again.


    ¡°Damn it!!¡±


    ¡°Foolish human.¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast¡¯s heart filled with rage, a ferociousness inherent in its bloodline welled up at the thought: ¡°Then let¡¯s fight! Let¡¯s fight! I want to see how you, a Demigod, can possibly kill me.¡±


    Whoosh! The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast no longer dodged, its terrifying presence diffusing as it faced the battle head-on.


    Even with the Divine Artifact Chains¡¯ Might perfectly unleashed, it could only restrict the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast¡¯s movements, not completely bind it.


    After all, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power Might was significantly weaker than that of the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast.


    The two massive figures collided in an instant.


    ¡°Boom boom boom!¡±


    The Long Spear and those huge claws clashed in the void, Li Yuan only took a single step back, whereas the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast stumbled backward five or six steps.


    ¡°Damn it.¡±


    ¡°This Divine Artifact Chains and Domain have suppressed my strength too severely.¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast¡¯s heart sank with frustration: ¡°I can¡¯t even exert fifty percent of my strength; otherwise, how could I be suppressed by a Demigod?¡±


    Life in the Dragon Blood Realm made the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast quite average in terms of Star Techniques and Divine Artifacts, but its Origin Power Cultivation and Law Comprehension were solid.


    Moreover, throughout the long years, it also created many Combat Secret Techniques, making its strength formidable.


    ¡°Level 54 Pseudo-God, truly hard to kill.¡±


    ¡°Even if it is only the head dragon from the Dragon Blood Realm, its attacks are probably comparable to a level 53 human Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°My direct material attacks are only slightly stronger than his.¡± Li Yuan contemplated privately: ¡°Even with the advantage of a Soul Attack, facing him head-on and trying to kill him is difficult.¡±


    The battle differed from the ranking wars.


    Those were mere competitions, to avoid a fatality, as soon as the Protective Spirit Light of either combatant was exhausted, they would be deemed defeated.


    Therefore, Li Yuan could effortlessly defeat Dong Pan Semi-Divine with a single Domain strike and was in turn defeated by Yan Dong Semi-Divine within a few blows.


    But in a fight to the death, one must kill!


    Secondly, the life-saving abilities of a Pseudo-God Powerhouse far exceed those of a Demigod.


    Even though figures like Dong Pan Semi-Divine seem to have level 54 combat power, that¡¯s only in terms of attack strength.


    Compared to a real level 54 Pseudo-God, a Demigod¡¯s ability to preserve life is much weaker.


    ¡°No wonder the trial tasks of the Dragon Blood Realm, killing ten Pseudo-Gods, even if they¡¯re all level 50 or 51 Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts, would still award a hundred thousand Jue Xing points.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Defeating a Pseudo-God Powerhouse is easy, killing is hard.

    ¡°Face reality, you cannot defeat me,¡± bellowed the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast.


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Li Yuan displayed a mysterious smile: ¡°Verification of strength is over, it¡¯s time to end this fight.¡±


    ¡°Mind Soul!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes focused.


    Hum~ An invisible ripple of the soul descended once again, invading the Spiritual World of the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This human Demigod can still perform it? Is this soul technique not reliant on a Secret Treasure? Is it his own technique? How can his soul attainment be so strong for a Demigod?¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast was shocked, too preoccupied to ponder further, desperately resisting the invasion of the Soul Attack.

 Chapter 871 - 871: Level 444: The Death of the Pseudo-God_3

    Chapter 871: Level 444: The Death of the Pseudo-God_3


    All soul attacks have traces to follow, and therefore, using the same attack on any strong individual multiple times often results in diminishing effectiveness. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Moreover, when prepared for defense, any strong individual¡¯s spiritual will becomes more condensed, and their resistance naturally stronger.


    However.


    As long as the soul attack is strong enough, it can still cause a huge impact.


    ¡°Boom~~¡±


    The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast felt its spiritual world shaking as if about to sink into it again.


    ¡°Break! Break! Break!¡±


    ¡°Awaken!¡± The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast roared within its heart, managing to retain some lucidity, its eyes catching a glimpse of the terrifying spear shadow carrying an overwhelming might.


    Whoosh! The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast swung its hooves to resist, but its might had already significantly weakened.


    Suffering from a soul attack and not having fully shaken it off, even if one remains lucid, their strength would still be inevitably affected.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The terrifying long spear falling from the void suddenly split into two, then three¡­ ten¡­ thirty¡­


    ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡±!


    In an instant, Li Yuan unleashed all his strength, dozens of phantom bodies flickering alternately, leaving the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast unable to discern Li Yuan¡¯s true body, nor the true location of the Dark Star Divine Spear.


    And all thirty-six phantom bodies possessed a certain level of attack power.


    A shower of long spears rained down!


    Coupled with the invisible force of the soul attack, the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast was at a loss on how to defend, being forced to hard endure those terrifying straight thrusts of the long spear.


    ¡°Bang!¡±¡±Bang!¡±¡±Bang!¡± In a very short period of time, the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast was stabbed by dozens of Divine Spears at least several thousand times.


    It was utterly staggered, feeling blasts of terrifying attacks passing through the Divine Artifact Battle Armor and into its body, hurling it deep into the earth, growing deeper with each strike, its terrifying might consistently ravaging its physique.


    The ferocious shockwaves spread in all directions, causing the clouds within a thousand kilometers to completely dissipate, mountains to collapse, and countless boulders to crumble to dust, as if struck by an earthquake.


    Utterly defenseless.


    Indeed!


    In terms of attack power, Li Yuan was only slightly stronger than the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast, even his Law Comprehension was somewhat weaker.


    But in a life-and-death combat, attack is only one aspect.


    Possessing three Nine Layer Star Techniques and external formidable Soul Secret Techniques¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s true strength far surpassed that of the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast.


    For a full several tens of seconds.


    ¡°Rumble~~¡± Despite its desperate struggle, the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast charged out for thousands of kilometers, creating a deep trench in the earth, but in the end, it could not escape its doomed defeat.


    Scales shattered, hooves broken, the Divine Body cracked layer by layer.


    ¡°Extinguish!¡±


    As the last Divine Spear came without hindrance, passing straight through into the depths of the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast¡¯s body, directly sweeping through that surge of life-giving Divine Fire.


    Divine Fire!


    ¡°Pfft~¡± The spear light swept through everything, annihilating the Pseudo-God soul within the Divine Fire, its presence rapidly dissipating.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡± A large amount of Divine Fire converged, rapidly solidifying into a dazzling crystal of flame.


    Pseudo-God Level Dragon Crystal!


    Only by killing a Pseudo-God Dragon Beast and extinguishing its soul, could its Divine Fire solidify into a Dragon Crystal.


    That region became completely silent.


    ¡°Sigh!¡±


    With a thought from Li Yuan, he extracted the Dragon Crystal from the remnants of the Pseudo-God Dragon Beast¡¯s body.


    Crystal clear, releasing a surging Life Force from within.


    ¡°A treasure indeed!¡±


    ¡°A treasure formed from the condensed essence of a Pseudo-God¡¯s life.¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed, his heart filled with pride: ¡°I, Li Yuan, can now face and kill a Pseudo-God Middle Rank powerhouse.¡±


    His gaze then swept over to the Divine Palace panel.

 Chapter 872 - 445: Level 49.9! The Change of the Nine Star Pulse

    Chapter 872: Chapter 445: Level 49.9! The Change of the Nine Star Pulse


    ¡°Hunting Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts really yields Spiritual Nourishment that far exceeds that of a Demigod,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Moreover, just as I expected, it also broke the so-called shackles of life.¡±


    There was the same notification when killing the first Second Rank Alien Race, the Flying Heaven level Alien Race, and the Demigod Alien Race.


    It also helped Li Yuan successively break through the bottlenecks of his Spiritual Awakening Level.


    ¡°After killing the Demigod Alien Race last time, the shackles at 75% of my Spiritual Awakening Level were broken,¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°Then the upper limit that was broken this time should be 100%.¡±


    ¡°That is to say, as long as my soul is strong enough, in theory, the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening Level could be continuously raised to 125%?¡± Li Yuan concluded.


    But it was very difficult!


    Hunting Pseudo-Gods posed no difficulty for Li Yuan, so he was not in a hurry over the past few months.


    The key was the level of the soul.


    Thinking of this, Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel once more:


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 47.3 (Fourth Rank)]


    Soul: Level 55


    Willpower: Level 59


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 90% (Current Limit 90%)


    ¡­


    ¡°After stepping into Demigod, with my body growing stronger, nurturing my soul, my soul has been growing rapidly, advancing from level 50 to level 55 in less than half a year,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently. ¡°Next, when my Origin Power Cultivation reaches level 49.9¡­ I guess my soul could grow further, but it will be difficult to reach the level of a True God.¡±


    It is exceedingly rare for a Demigod warrior to have a soul that reaches the Pseudo-God level¡ªout of millions, barely one can achieve this.


    Even within the Divine Fire Hall, teeming with geniuses, only a few hundred have souls at the Pseudo-God level¡­ This was why Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attacks were invincible during the war against the outsider races.


    But!


    For the supreme geniuses of the Divine Fire Hall, their Soul Cultivation levels are generally just at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God¡­ People like Yan Dong-Demigod and Dong Pan-Demigod, maybe their Soul Cultivation has reached the Pseudo-God Middle Rank?


    ¡°When it comes to Soul Will, Jing Kui may be close to me, but likely still not as strong as I am,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°The body serves as the vessel for the soul; a Demigod nurturing the soul, there are limits to this.¡± S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as it is difficult for a Prime Warrior to undergo a transformation and produce a Demigod-level soul, and similarly challenging for a Flying Heaven level to evolve into a Pseudo-God level soul.


    Li Yuan endured numerous hardships before he successively achieved these feats.


    And this made his Soul Will stronger and stronger.


    As of now, not even half a year has passed since stepping into Demigod, and he has already far outstripped his peerless peers in the same rank.


    However, for a Demigod to elevate the soul to the level of a True God is even more difficult.


    ¡°Based on my experience transitioning from an Eight Star Veins to Nine Star Veins, if I want to awaken the Ten-Star Meridian as a Demigod, even if I could use a large amount of Jue Xing Divine Pills again, a single Spiritual Incorporation might not be enough,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Not to mention reaching a Spiritual Awakening Level of 125%, just to reach an upper limit of 100%, my soul¡¯s cultivation level might need to reach level 58 or even 60.¡±


    One can imagine.


    Even with great aid from the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan must give his all to stand a chance of reaching the requirement.


    ¡°One step at a time.¡±


    ¡°The few with Demigod Nine Star Veins in the history of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, who cultivated for hundreds of years at the Demigod stage¡ªthe weakest among them had strength at level 57, and the strongest even possessed power close to that of a True God,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°I have every hope of being stronger than them.¡±


    Level 55, level 59, both are at the limit of Pseudo-God level.


    Level 57, level 58, are the ultimate limit of Pseudo-God level.


    For a Demigod to possess the ultimate limits of Pseudo-God strength is almost impossible¡­ Jing Kui, for example, is a direct disciple of a Heavenly Divine, outstanding among the Eight Star Veins Demigods, but after nearly two hundred years of cultivation, he merely has the strength of level 55.


    Yet for Nine Star Veins Demigods, who have cultivated in secrecy for hundreds of years, their strength matches that of the ultimate level of Pseudo-Gods.


    ¡°Star Techniques are powerful, but surely the comprehension of Laws must also be extremely high,¡± Li Yuan pondered secretly. ¡°Only then can they compensate for the fundamental gap with the regular Pseudo-God Limit Experts.¡±


    ¡°Compared to those historical Nine Star Veins Demigods, I am still quite immature,¡± Li Yuan contemplated, waving his hand to collect the many treasures and the Dragon Crystals left behind by the fallen Dragon Beast.


    After a brief inquiry.


    ¡°The treasures left by this Dragon Beast are estimated to be less than 10,000 Fangshen Crystals,¡± Li Yuan muttered inwardly. ¡°Even though it was a Pseudo-God Middle Rank powerhouse, it¡¯s truly poor.¡±


    Pseudo-God Powerhouses from the outside world, even those at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, generally have treasures worth tens of thousands of Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°I still need to save up more.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jiang Yuan will definitely give me a share of Exotic Treasures,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°I also need to figure out a way to obtain a large quantity of ordinary treasures.¡±


    After seeing the Token from the Dongfang Alliance Leader.


    Li Yuan was very clear in his heart that with the Dongfang Alliance Leader having gone to the Divine Realm, his return to the Mortal Domain might be indefinitely delayed; Principal Fang Hai must stay to guard the civilization and cannot venture into the Nine Mountains World¡­ so that only leaves me.


    I have become the de facto leader of the Seven Star Civilization, and naturally, it is my responsibility to shoulder the duties of a leader.


    ¡°Before returning to the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°I must obtain enough treasures, a large quantity of ordinary Divine Artifacts, Semi Divine Artifacts, and even True God Instruments, Awakening Pills, and so on,¡± Li Yuan had many thoughts in his mind.


    This was also the reason he undertook the ¡®Dragon Blood Realm¡¯ trial task.


    Phew!


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave this place.¡±


    ¡°This caliber of battle causes turbulence in the Power of Heaven and Earth and affects a large area; there¡¯s no telling if other Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts will come,¡± Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light, swiftly shooting through the clouds and disappearing into the horizon.


    After half an hour.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A Pseudo-God Dragon Beast with an extremely huge body arrived.


    It was similar to the previously fallen Pseudo-God Dragon Beast, resembling a divine ox, only it was covered in black scales, larger in size, and had a pair of huge wings.


    After briefly investigating the traces in the vicinity.


    ¡°Ah! Muri Lo, my brother, who killed you? Who is it!!¡± The Pseudo-God level Dragon Beast burst out with roars, its eyes filled with rage.

 Chapter 873 - 445: Level 49.9! The Change of the Nine Star Pulse_2

    Chapter 873: Chapter 445: Level 49.9! The Change of the Nine Star Pulse_2


    The Pseudo-God Dragon Beast previously did not deceive Li Yuan.


    It indeed had some brothers of life and death, but these Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts were all powerhouses of the Dragon Blood Realm, mostly commanding vast territories. Unless there was a major event, they lived separately from each other¡­ Therefore, even though it sought help immediately, it took a considerable amount of time for this Peak Pseudo-God Dragon Beast to arrive.


    Li Yuan had long since vanished without a trace.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± The Black Winged Dragon Beast let out a thunderous roar.


    It didn¡¯t hesitate to alert more Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts: ¡°Warning! A strong human semi-divine who is skilled in soul attacks and domain restrictions has appeared within the Xingga Beast Country. My dear brother Muri Lo has perished, be cautious.¡±


    Before dying, Muri Lo, the Pseudo-God, had transmitted the message to this dragon beast.


    As a Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouse.


    The Black Winged Dragon Beast had a wider circle of acquaintances, knowing many of the formidable beings in this region¡­ The arrival of foreign powers to hunt Dragon Beasts in the Blood Dragon Realm did not leave the Dragon Beasts oblivious; naturally, they would form alliances for mutual defense and even counter-hunting.


    The fall of every Pseudo-God Dragon Beast would alert the other Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts within a vast area.


    This is one of the reasons why various forces dare not recklessly slaughter Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts.


    Excessive killing could trigger an actual war.


    Soon.


    ¡°Ese, I am already aware, and I have informed my subordinates of the semi-divine.¡±


    ¡°My dear brother, I also know, and I feel regret for Muri Lo¡¯s fall.¡± One after another, Peak of Pseudo-God creatures quickly communicated back to the Black Winged Dragon Beast.


    Being a civilization with True Gods and numerous Pseudo-Gods, the Dragon Beasts were highly intelligent.


    The long years had allowed them to develop a certain cultural heritage. Although it was far from as advanced as the outside world, it was easy for them to refine things like storage treasures, ordinary divine artifacts, and communication treasures.


    ¡°Among the nine powerful forces from beyond, the closest to our region is the Jue Xing Ancient City branch.¡±


    ¡°Such a formidable human semi-divine surely will not be unknown.¡± Quickly, another Dragon Beast put forth an idea: ¡°I suspect this is a human semi-divine genius from Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s possible.¡±


    ¡°In the past, there have also been powerful human semi-divines appearing.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had no idea about the repercussions of killing a Pseudo-God Dragon Beast.


    He could fly tens of kilometers in just a second.


    Several hours later, he had already flown away hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Although he encountered several Blood Mist Areas along the way, he didn¡¯t engage in any more slaughter.


    ¡°According to the information from True God Mou Zhuo.¡±


    ¡°These Dragon Beasts contact each other. Once a Pseudo-God Dragon Beast is killed in a certain area, it will alert other Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts.¡± Li Yuan slowly landed on a mountain range: ¡°If too many are killed in one area, it may even lead to the appearance of a True God level Dragon Beast.¡±


    ¡°For safety reasons, it¡¯s better not to continue killing in this area for now.¡±


    ¡°This region should be temporarily safe.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s use up this influx of Origin Power first.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan already entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­Swoosh! Li Yuan appeared out of thin air inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Brother, you are now capable of killing a Pseudo-God Middle Rank head-on.¡± Gu You in white clothes exclaimed in admiration.


    ¡°It is just a single Dragon Beast. If it were a Pseudo-God powerhouse with a strong civilizational heritage, it would still be difficult to kill.¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be modest.¡± Gu You laughed: ¡°The Nine Star Pulse is indeed powerful, and the combined use of several Nine Layer Star Techniques in battle makes your strength comprehensive, with virtually no weaknesses.¡±


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m preparing to go into closed-door cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Now that the Ancient Divine Palace is exposed, even though I use the Origin to conceal its breath, if a Pseudo-God passes by, their Divine Sense scanning might detect something.¡± Li Yuan directly said: ¡°It would trouble you to be on extra alert.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Gu You nodded.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan directly entered the Divine Crystal Chamber, followed by an invisible force enveloping the entire chamber, isolating it from any outside inquiries.


    ¡°Just left Jue Xing Ancient City and going into closed-door cultivation again?¡± The maiden silently pondered: ¡°And stirring the Mysteries of the Law and the Origin of the Ancient Divine Palace, preventing even me from spying¡­ My brother, he probably has secrets.¡±


    She had suspected as much before.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    ¡°Origin Power enters the body.¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, surrounded by the dense Divine Crystal Energy and a large number of Divine Crystals hovering around.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan had stimulated the golden mist floating in the second floor of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± The golden mist rapidly descended and merged into the floor of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, directly infiltrating every part of Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    At once.


    All nine of Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridians bloomed with light, and the ¡®Life Fire Source Pill¡¯ in the Origin Power Space trembled before it began to frantically absorb the Divine Crystal Energy from the outside world¡­


    The Life Fire Source Pill started another rapid growth.


    ¡°[Your Life Level has been raised from 47.3 to 47.4]¡±


    ¡°[Your Life Level has been raised from 47.4 to¡­]¡± As the Life Fire Source Pill continued to evolve, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power became even more refined, and his body grew stronger.


    His internal organs, muscles, and blood all became more robust.


    In the blink of an eye, nearly two days passed.


    Under the blessing of that peculiar golden mist, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level soared all the way up, reaching Level 49.8 before it completely dissipated.


    ¡°The effect of this Origin Power infusion is better than I imagined. I thought it would stop at Level 49.6,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Otherwise, I would have had to spend more time to continue cultivating to the limit.¡±


    Rumbling~ Powerful Origin Power circulated within his body, such robust Origin Power was incredibly close to a newly advanced Pseudo-God.


    ¡°The Star Meridians are powerful, indeed magical.¡±


    ¡°Surpassing Level 1, Level 2 Origin Power may seem like a small gap, but the closer to the limit, the harder it is to improve,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Stronger Origin Power, a notch higher in Star Technique, a bit more Law Comprehension¡­ In the end, these will lead to earth-shaking changes in strength.¡±


    ¡°If another ranking battle were to be held, even without relying on Soul Attack, I should have a chance to break into the top ten of the Divine Fire Hall,¡± Li Yuan thought silently, ¡°Even Dong Pan would have a hard time beating me.¡±


    This was still under the condition that Li Yuan had not practiced the sixth Star Technique.


    However, this was not the reason why Li Yuan was eagerly pursuing Level 49.9.


    After all, even without Origin Power infusion, under normal circumstances, two or three years would have been enough for Li Yuan to cultivate to the Semi-Divine Limit.


    ¡°Continue!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan continued his tranquil cultivation, absorbing the energy imbued in the Divine Crystals from the outside world, tempering the ¡®Life Fire Source Pill.¡¯


    But even with Divine Crystals for cultivation, it was still hundreds of times slower than through Origin Power infusion.


    Li Yuan was very patient.


    ¡°Sss~¡± In the depths of the Life Fire Source Pill, as the Source Pill continually evolved and approached Level 50¡­ the ¡®Fire Seed¡¯ at the deepest part of the Source Pill grew increasingly powerful.

    After half a month.


    Finally.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan felt a slight tremor in the Life Fire Source Pill; it had reached a state of Perfection, the ultimate!


    Level 49.9!!


    The limit of Origin Power for a Semi-Divine with Nine Star Veins.


    And it was at the instant the Life Fire Source Pill reached its limit¡­ that amazingly powerful Fire Seed within it seemed to break through a limit, splitting into two all of a sudden¡­ turning into a large and a small Fire Seed.


    That smaller Fire Seed, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment, was almost weaker than the ¡®Life Fire¡¯ that appeared when Li Yuan first broke through to become Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Sss~¡±


    That flickering, tiny Fire Seed suddenly made its way outside of the Life Fire Source Pill.


    It hung there in the Origin Power Space.


    Whoosh~ Its flame was faint, as if it might go out at any moment, but it also possessed an extraordinary vitality, shining brightly, as if it contained the True Intent of the Great Dao of life.


    ¡°The second Life Fire.¡±


    ¡°Haha, finally succeeded.¡± A hint of excitement emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°It¡¯s just as the Dongfang Alliance Leader said, once a Semi-Divine with Nine Star Veins cultivates to Level 49.9, the ¡®Fire Seed¡¯ within the Life Fire Source Pill becomes so powerful that it splits and gives birth to a ¡®second Life Fire.''¡±


    ¡°With the second Life Fire, entering the Eternal Hall again, there¡¯s hope to cultivate the ¡®Perfect Star Technique¡¯.¡±


    Why did Li Yuan insist on cultivating to Level 49.9 before entering the Eternal Hall?


    It was for the birth of the ¡®second Life Fire.¡¯

 Chapter 874 - 446: Entering the Eternal Hall! Li Yuans Choice

    Chapter 874: Chapter 446: Entering the Eternal Hall! Li Yuan¡¯s Choice


    The Nine Layer Star Technique, even in the mouths of countless demigods, pseudo-gods, and true gods in the Divine Realm, is acclaimed as the Supreme Star Technique.


    Li Yuan was first introduced to the concept of ¡®Supreme Star Technique¡¯ by the Bai Shan Semi-Divine years ago.


    He had thought, if the Nine Layer Star Vein could cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique, why couldn¡¯t the Ten Layer Star Vein cultivate the Tenth Layer Star Technique?


    Unfortunately,


    whether it was the materials given by Gu You, Qiu Bingzun, or the database of the Jue Xing Ancient City, they all mentioned the concept of ¡®Perfect Star Vein¡¯ but not the Tenth Layer Star Technique.


    Not until recently.


    Li Yuan received the Communication Token from the Dongfang Alliance Leader, who for the first time mentioned the ¡®Perfect Star Technique¡¯.


    This star technique is too rare, that even among the Heavenly Gods, only a very few have successfully cultivated it.


    In the Divine Realm, among the top major forces, most true gods never encounter it in their lifetime, thus it remains unknown.


    Above the Nine Layer Star Technique, there indeed exists a more profound and powerful ¡®Perfect Star Technique¡¯.


    The Perfect Star Technique is precisely the ¡®Tenth Layer Star Technique¡¯.


    First, it requires a Perfect Star Vein to support the Tenth Layer Star Technique, and secondly, the comprehension of laws generally demands quite high.


    These are merely the cultivation requirements.


    Finally, it essential to ¡®integrate the Fire Seed into the Star Vein,¡¯ using one¡¯s purest life¡¯s Origin Power, to perfectly unite the entire star vein with the star marks.


    ¡°Neither the Heavenly Serpent Clan nor the Jue Xing Ancient City have produced many Nine Star Vein powerhouses,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently: ¡°let alone creating the Perfect Star Technique¡­ It¡¯s only top Divine Realm forces like the Chaos Divine Court, with many generations of Heavenly Gods passing it down, that can be aware of it.¡±


    Knowledge, if acquired, can feel insignificant.


    But before it¡¯s obtained, it is extremely precious.


    Dongfang Ji also only learned about the concept of the ¡®Perfect Star Technique¡¯ after becoming a Golden Garment Member at the Eternal Hall. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As for Silver Garment members, like Fang Hai, they were unaware of it.


    ¡°The Second Fire has been born; there¡¯s no need for further delay,¡± Li Yuan thought, and has already arrived at the Cangmang Mountain Range outside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    The surroundings are silent.


    There are no abnormalities.


    ¡°If used inside the Ancient Divine Palace, it might leave the Ancient Divine Palace within Dragon Blood Realm,¡± Li Yuan thought silently, waving his hand to store the Ancient Divine Palace that looked like dust.


    Hmm~ Li Yuan closed his eyes lightly, sensing in his Spiritual World, next to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, a golden token formed by strange energies.


    Following an obscure sensing.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s soul consciousness activated the golden token quickly.


    ¡°Hum~¡± That golden token instantly scattered, transforming into a mysterious energy that enshrouded Li Yuan¡¯s entire body, immediately followed by Li Yuan disappearing from thin air, completely disappearing from this realm.


    ¡­


    At the same time.


    In the deep hall of the Law Enforcement Temple in Jue Xing Ancient City.


    The sitting Jiang Yuan True God instantly received a message from Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s ¡®Monitoring Spirit¡¯: ¡°Deputy City Lord, Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Lamp has extinguished and ultimately disappeared in the Dragon Blood Realm, the specific situation is unknown.¡±


    ¡°Soul Lamp extinguished?¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s face changed slightly.


    As long as it¡¯s within this realm, the Soul Lamp canActivate, even entering some special places only causes the Soul Lamp to dim.


    Normally there¡¯s only one possibility¡ªdeath!


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Senior brother, I have returned to the Divine Realm, no need to worry, I will return before the battle in the Ancestral Realm, I hope senior brother can help me take care of matters,¡± a message reached Jiang Yuan True God, sent from Li Yuan¡¯s Communication Token within the Saint Heir Mansion.


    ¡°Return to the Divine Realm?¡± Jiang Yuan True God, with his divine skills, recognized from a single thought that this message came from the Saint Heir¡¯s Mansion.


    Li Yuan obviously went to the Dragon Blood Realm, why would the message come from the Saint Heir¡¯s Mansion.


    Boom!


    He stepped out and flew out of the palace, directly into the Divine Fire Hall at Li Yuan¡¯s mansion within mere seconds, a terrifying aura immediately spreading out.


    ¡°True God.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, True Saint.¡± A group of servants kneeled down in fear.


    Boom~ A powerful Divine Sense inquired within and outside the mansion, followed by three figures flying out of a secret room, their faces filled with extreme fear.


    ¡°Speak, what were you just doing?¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s voice was icy, penetrating into their spiritual worlds, causing these three Flying Heaven level servants to feel somewhat dazed.


    ¡°Reporting to the True God,¡± one of the Flying Heaven level servants whispered: ¡°The Saint Heir ordered us, once the lamp in the secret room extinguishes, to crush the token.¡±


    ¡°We know nothing beyond that,¡± the three Flying Heaven level servants were terrified.


    Jiang Yuan True God understood everything.


    ¡°Xu Yuan went to the Dragon Blood Realm to evade monitoring, just to return to the Divine Realm? Was it to lay down measures in advance so I wouldn¡¯t worry?¡± Jiang Yuan True God pondered: ¡°But what kind of methods does he have that can directly go from the Dragon Blood Realm to the Divine Realm and then come back?¡±


    This terrifying method even instinctively made Jiang Yuan True God feel wary.


    ¡°The Divine Realm and our world have been isolated, the Soul Lamp indeed would fail,¡± Jiang Yuan True God thoughtfully said.


    ¡°Divine Realm, Chaos Divine Court¡­ truly unfathomable.¡±


    Indeed, this was Li Yuan¡¯s contingency plan.


    As a member of Jue Xing Ancient City, he must light the Soul Lamp.


    And having seen the precedent of Dongfang Ji, once going to the ¡®Eternal Hall¡¯, it was likely the Soul Lamp would extinguish, which might attract the attention of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s upper echelons¡­ Therefore, Li Yuan bought an individual Soul Lamp within his mansion.


    Two Soul Lamps, if one extinguishes, they both would.


    Li Yuan left the Communication Token in advance; once the Soul Lamp within the mansion extinguished, the three servants would crush the token, asking for Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s help in covering it up.


    Suddenly.


    Boom~ A powerful will transmitted: ¡°Jiang Yuan, Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Lamp extinguished? What¡¯s the situation¡±


    ¡°City Lord, no need to worry, Xu Yuan isn¡¯t dead, I have my judgment,¡± Jiang Yuan True God replied.

 Chapter 875 - 446: Entering the Eternal Hall! Li Yuans Choice_2

    Chapter 875: Chapter 446: Entering the Eternal Hall! Li Yuan¡¯s Choice_2


    ¡­


    Sigh!


    After activating the golden token, Li Yuan felt overwhelmed by a vast power, and time seemed to change. Before he knew it, he had arrived here.


    The infinite starry sky twinkled with countless stars.


    A majestic temple, entirely silver, stood proudly amidst the stars, radiating dazzling light.


    Li Yuan was at the very bottom of the temple¡¯s staircase.


    A single step back would land him into the abyss-like darkness of the starry space.


    ¡°Is this the Eternal Hall?¡± Li Yuan held his breath, looking up at the silver temple which, without exerting much oppressive aura, possessed a unique beauty.


    Moreover, it invisibly gave Li Yuan a special feeling, as if the temple and the stars behind it formed a perfect and eternal painting.


    This feeling surpassed all treasures Li Yuan had ever seen, even the remains of Anchi Heavenly God didn¡¯t give him this sensation.


    Hum~ An inexplicable message transmitted into Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Enter the temple?¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, immediately ascending the steps and entering the temple through its wide-opened gate.


    The inside of the temple was immensely vast, with numerous Divine Pillars supporting it, thirty-six to be exact, upon a single glance.


    Each Divine Pillar was astonishingly large.


    The most distinctive feature was that the thirty-six Divine Pillars, the ground, and the walls were all cast from silver metal¡­ Smooth as a mirror, Li Yuan could easily see his reflection on the ground, the pillars, and so on¡­


    ¡°What material is this temple made of?¡± Li Yuan wondered in shock, finding that his Divine Sense couldn¡¯t penetrate even a slither through the mirrored surface¡ªabsolute smoothness.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also discovered that he was unable to communicate with ¡®Gu You,¡¯ receiving no response no matter how he called out.


    ¡°This temple seems somewhat different from what the Dongfang Alliance Leader had mentioned,¡± Li Yuan noted, eyes sweeping across the area, not finding the ¡®light screens¡¯ and ¡®voices¡¯ he had anticipated.


    Clap~ A sound echoed from the ground.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan immediately turned his head, seeing a silver-robed elder who had emerged from behind a Divine Pillar at an unknown time. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His hair was silvery-white, but his face was deeply wrinkled, and he seemed to move slowly.


    ¡°But I clearly did some Inquiry with my Divine Sense just now, and there was no one behind that Divine Pillar.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Moreover, the reports from Dongfang Alliance Leader never mentioned other people in the Eternal Hall.¡±


    Combined with the uniqueness of the silver temple.


    Li Yuan swiftly concluded that his experience differed from that of Dongfang Alliance Leader and Principal Fang Hai¡­ The ¡®Eternal Hall¡¯ he arrived at was also different.


    ¡°Is it strange to have someone here?¡± The voice of the silver-robed elder was gentle, echoing within the hall, ¡°For long years, I have always been guarding this hall. Although people have come continuously, most of them I do not wish to meet¡­ Only for some special ones will I come out to meet.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    He was that kind of special individual?


    Moreover, not only he and Dongfang Alliance Leader had come here¡­ Many had visited.


    ¡°Senior, is this the Eternal Hall?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Following the guidance, I completed the task as a Golden Garment Member and came here; there should be rewards, right?¡±


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    ¡°Your rewards will not be forgotten,¡± the silver-haired elder said with a smile, ¡°I just wanted you to chat with an old man for a bit longer¡­ But, if your mind is set on treasures, let¡¯s start with the rewards for becoming a ¡®Golden Garment Member¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Normally, becoming a Silver Garment Member entitles you to four gifts, and Golden Garment Members receive three. But since you arrived already as a Golden Garment Member¡­ I took the liberty of allowing you to choose four out of the nine promotion gifts for Golden Garment Members,¡± the silver-haired elder explained.


    Sigh!


    With a wave of the silver-haired elder¡¯s hand.


    Rustle~ A great deal of light gathered in the void, forming a huge light screen with many words on it. Surprisingly, they were the characters most familiar to Li Yuan¡ªthe text of Xia Country.


    ¡°This writing?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Little fellow, since a Burial Immortal Ancient Domain could fall into your small Dimensional Domain, and the Eternal Hall can teleport you at any time, could it be that you still want to keep secrets in front of me?¡± the silver-haired elder chuckled, ¡°As long as I want to know, there¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t find out. Don¡¯t overthink it, just choose.¡±


    Li Yuan was inwardly shocked; his mind was somewhat in disarray.


    So to speak, this silver-haired elder knows the secret of his ¡®Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡¯?


    But overthinking was futile.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look up at the nine options on the light screen.


    ¡ª¡ª


    One, Myriad Realms Commerce Association Command (True God level): The Myriad Realms Commerce Association is one of the most mysterious commercial forces in the Divine Realm. With this command token, one can exchange and purchase treasures with the Myriad Realms Commerce Association¡­


    Two, Gods¡¯ Inheritance Cave Dwelling (True God level): Within are one thousand True God Heritage Brands, one hundred thousand Initial Rank of Pseudo-God Heritage Brands¡­


    Three, Sixth Rank Civilization Leading Envoy (High Level): A Sixth Rank advanced Civilization Mothership, three Initial Rank of Pseudo-God Puppets, and forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets¡­


    Four, Dimensional Plane Evolution Divine Item: Can initiate a preliminary evolution of a Dimensional Plane¡­


    Five, Heavenly Divine Inner Sect Disciple Inheritance Treasure: Mirror of Laws (compatible with oneself), Origin Divine Artifact (Pseudo-God Artifact)¡­


    Six, Heavenly Divine Inner Sect Disciple Inheritance Treasure: Origin Treasure (compatible with oneself)¡­


    Seven, One True God Instrument (within a value limit)


    Eight, One Dimension Transmission Order: Enables crossing vast Star Domains, basically unstoppable by anyone below a Heavenly Divine, a top-tier lifesaving item¡­


    Nine: One Tenth Layer Star Technique (provides the Treasures required for practice up to the Fourth Rank): The truly perfect Star Technique between heaven and earth, nine types of Tenth Layer Star Techniques to choose from, but be aware, Perfect Star Skills are extremely difficult to practice, so choose prudently. Below are the practice requirements¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°These nine options.¡±


    ¡°Some aspects are similar to what Dongfang Alliance Leader mentioned, yet some are different,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°It seems each Golden Garment Member¡¯s experience is different, and so are the treasures they can obtain.¡±

 Chapter 876 - 446: Entering the Eternal Hall! Li Yuans Choice_3

    Chapter 876: Chapter 446: Entering the Eternal Hall! Li Yuan¡¯s Choice_3


    ¡°Which should I choose?¡± Li Yuan fell into deep thought.


    Nine treasures, the first four are clearly geared towards leading an entire civilization, while the latter five are inclined towards personal power and evolution.


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader, as a Golden Garment Member, could only choose three.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°He ultimately chose the second, third, and fifth, with only one selected for himself.¡±


    The second and third treasures chosen by Dongfang Ji mostly remained within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Although I lost the four treasure options of the Silver Garment Member, the four of them combined are probably not as good as one treasure from a Golden Garment Member.¡± Li Yuan silently pondered: ¡°I can choose four.¡±


    After a brief contemplation. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Elder, I have decided.¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°I want to choose the fourth, fifth, eighth, and ninth treasures.¡±


    Dimension Plane Evolution Divine Item, Heavenly Divine Inner Sect Disciple Inheritance Treasure, one Dimensional Transmission Order, Tenth Layer Star Technique.


    This is Li Yuan¡¯s choice.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± the silver-haired elder asked: ¡°Once confirmed, it cannot be changed, even if you complete a Purple Garment task later, the reward for Purple Garment Member only has one item and it¡¯s not selectable.¡±


    ¡°Only one item?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    This was the first time Li Yuan learned about the Purple Garment Member¡¯s reward, which was not mentioned in the information of the Dongfang Alliance Leader.


    ¡°As for that Dimension Plane Evolution Divine Item, it¡¯s not of much personal help to you.¡± The silver-haired elder said: ¡°It only helps your homeland¡¯s civilization evolve.¡±


    ¡°Confirmed.¡± Li Yuan directly said, this Dimension Plane Evolution Divine Item, though seemingly useless for an individual, was precisely what he was sure to choose.


    Originally, such a treasure was not among the choices of the Dongfang Alliance Leader.


    Although it¡¯s unclear why, among the treasure choices of the Silver and Golden Garment Members, nearly half are to aid one¡¯s own civilization.


    But having the opportunity, Li Yuan naturally would choose them.


    ¡°Okay, wait a moment.¡±


    The elder in the silver robe didn¡¯t ask further; among the nine kinds of treasures, all had detailed introductions. The path of cultivation ultimately had to be walked by oneself.


    The treasures chosen by Li Yuan, whether they were the most beneficial for him or not, he would have to bear the consequences himself.


    Whoosh~


    The silver-haired elder waved his hand, the void slightly rippled, followed by several items materializing.


    ¡°This is the Dimension Plane Evolution Divine Item.¡± The silver-haired elder pointed at the crystal clear red sphere the size of a head and said, ¡°The specific usage method, as long as you sense it with your Divine Sense, you will understand¡­ Remember, it must be activated in your homeland civilization, otherwise if you use it midway, the process is irreversible.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°This is the Dimensional Transmission Order.¡± The silver-haired elder pointed at another nearly transparent token and said: ¡°It¡¯s the same, once you use it, you will be traveling through the void, like if you are in your homeland¡¯s Dimensional Domain, using it can directly descend to other Dimensional Domains¡­ unless it is a Heavenly Divine proficient in isolating time and space, otherwise no one can stop you.¡±


    Li Yuan slightly nodded, this is definitely the top-tier lifesaving item¡­ it was mentioned in the information from Qiu Bingzun.


    Void Shifting Orders are commonly used lifesaving items by True Gods, crafted by Heavenly Divines, but Heavenly Divines could certainly stop them if they intervened.


    And the Dimensional Transmission Order is a notch higher than the Void Shifting Order¡­ generally not crafted by Heavenly Divines.


    It can be said.


    If a True God obtains a Dimensional Transmission Order, it¡¯s almost like having an extra life.


    ¡°The two lifesaving items left by Master Gu Ju are useless if facing a True God.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°And this Dimensional Transmission Order, at least until I Ascend to God, is absolutely the best lifesaving item.¡±


    Lifesaving items can never be too many.


    Surviving is always the most important.


    ¡°A Pseudo-God Level Origin Divine Artifact, needs to observe the essence of your soul to craft the weapon most compatible with your soul, it would take about a day.¡± The silver-haired elder continued: ¡°You need to consider, what type of weapon you want.¡±


    ¡°A Soul Attack type? Can it be done?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°No, the Origin Divine Artifact is already the strongest among same tier divine artifacts¡­ If it¡¯s a Soul Artifact, the crafting difficulty is too great.¡± The silver-haired elder shook his head: ¡°The reward for Golden Garment Member is not sufficient, especially since in your selection, the main item is the Mirror of Laws, the Origin Divine Artifact is just incidental.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded: ¡°Then craft a Long Spear, which can maximally enhance my attack.¡±


    In terms of lifesaving capability, Li Yuan considered himself strong enough after cultivating the ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± and ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡±.


    The only area lacking is in attack.


    ¡°Okay.¡± The silver-haired elder said, ¡°I have observed your Spear Technique cultivation, and I will surely forge a weapon that best fits your Spear Technique.¡±


    Li Yuan was secretly shocked.


    From what that meant, was the silver-haired elder going to do the forging? Origin Divine Artifacts are generally crafted by Heavenly Divines who control the complete Great Dao Laws and are skilled in Artifact Refining, making them extremely rare.


    Like in the past, Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai were able to easily unleash astonishing strength, all because they were augmented by Origin Divine Artifacts.


    Even in Jue Xing Ancient City, from Li Yuan¡¯s observation, not even Jing Kui, who had entered under Heavenly Divine Gate, possessed an Origin Divine Artifact.


    It seems that Jue Xing Ancient City currently lacks a Heavenly Divine capable of crafting Origin Divine Artifacts.


    What exactly is the existence of this silver-haired elder?


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush about external things.


    ¡°For cultivators, the most important thing is to strengthen oneself. You have already awakened the Nine Star Pulse and have cultivated to level 49.9, you must have already obtained the ¡®Second Fire Seed¡¯. Should you first try to cultivate the Tenth Layer Star Technique, or use the Mirror of Laws?¡± the silver-haired elder said.


    ¡°First cultivate the Tenth Layer Star Technique.¡± Li Yuan said seriously, this was what he was most looking forward to.


    ¡°Then go.¡± The silver-haired elder pointed to a distant Divine Pillar: ¡°Just go inside.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°Go quickly.¡± The silver-haired elder urged.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan quickly walked towards the distant Divine Pillar, sensing nothing special about this pillar through his Divine Sense.


    But the moment Li Yuan¡¯s body touched it, he had already passed through it.


    Inside the silver Temple, it once again became empty, leaving only the silver-haired elder alone.


    ¡°The thirty-sixth one.¡±


    ¡°About to start cultivating the Perfect Star Skill again.¡± The silver-haired elder muttered to himself: ¡°I wonder to what extent this young fellow can reach in the future¡­ sigh!¡±


    ¡°Eternity¡­ eternity¡­ why is this eternal path so difficult to walk.¡± The silver-haired elder shook his head and sighed, as if recalling many things from the past.


    ¡­


    Woosh~


    Li Yuan passed through the Divine Pillar and found himself in a sealed room with a dark green floor. Just upon entering, he felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility in his heart.


    Instinctively.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan immediately sat down cross-legged, having greater contact with the ground, his heart felt more comfortable.


    Drip~


    A blue water droplet appeared out of thin air in mid-air, silently falling down, and in an instant unbeknownst to Li Yuan, it permeated into his forehead.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A surge of information exploded instantly in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, a large amount of information surfaced.


    ¡°Fatian Xiangdi¡±: Tenth Layer Star Technique, when cultivated to its extreme, can transform the body into heaven and earth, breaking all laws, one of the strongest Body Refining Star Techniques in the world, below are the detailed cultivation requirements¡­


    ¡°Void True Understanding¡±: Tenth Layer Star Technique, the strongest auxiliary Star Technique in the space lineage, can greatly enhance compatibility with Space Law, and can also be used in battle, its might not inferior to the Nine Layer Star Technique¡­


    ¡°Nine Heavens Feather¡±: Tenth Layer Star Technique¡­


    ¡°Five Elements Incarnation¡±: Tenth Layer Star Technique¡­

    ¡°Five Elements Incarnation¡±: Tenth Layer Star Technique¡­


    ¡­

 Chapter 877 - 447: True Intention of Space

    Chapter 877: Chapter 447: True Intention of Space


    These Tenth Layer Star Techniques, each possessing terrifying might, all have their unique strengths, with the majority having exceedingly high levels of difficulty in their cultivation.


    For example, in ¡°Five Elements Dao Body¡±, if one successfully cultivates it, one can develop the Five Great ¡®Dao Bodies¡¯ of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. If one can cultivate them to great achievement, each Dao Body would possess the strength comparable to one¡¯s original self, how overarchingly defiant of the heavens that would be.


    However, to cultivate the corresponding ¡®Dao Body¡¯ to the utmost limit, the prerequisite is the thorough comprehension of the respective Great Dao.


    Thorough comprehension of five Great Daos? Among Heavenly Gods, I¡¯m afraid very few could do so.


    Similarly, for ¡°Mixed Ruins Water and Fire¡±, if cultivated to the extreme, the intertwining of water and fire can form a terrifying world domain, capable of creating a world with a single thought, or alternatively, with a single thought, annihilating a world only for¡­ But to cultivate it to great achievement, it requires a profound understanding of the Law of Water, Fire Law, and Space Law.


    ¡­


    ¡°To cultivate the Perfect Star Skill, one must embody the ¡®Fire Seed¡¯ into the Star Vein.¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°To bring forth the ¡®Second Fire¡¯, one must either rely on some of the strange treasures between heaven and earth, potent ¡®Life Fire Source Pill¡¯, to strengthen the original fire seed within the Source Pill, giving birth to the second fire seed.¡±


    ¡°Alternatively, one must at least become a Nine Star Veins, splitting off a Fire Seed on one¡¯s own.¡±


    Thus, Eight Star Veins, if one strives to awaken a Perfect Star Vein, and have the help of some treasures of heaven and earth¡­ there is also hope in cultivating one Perfect Star Skill.


    But it is extremely rare, first, such heaven and earth treasures are hard to find, even Heavenly Gods generally cannot produce them; second, for Eight Star Veins to awaken a Perfect Star Vein is already rare enough¡­ an Eight Star Veins that is able to awaken Perfect Star Vein is truly one in a million.


    However, for a Nine Star Veins Semi-Divine, as long as one could find the Star Technique Method, there is hope to cultivate into the Perfect Star Skill.


    ¡°The Perfect Star Skill must be cultivated at the Demigod stage.¡± Li Yuan pondered in his heart, ¡°And a demigod body has its limits¡­ Not to mention I can¡¯t get the treasures of heaven and earth right now, even if I fortunately obtain it in the future, when I go to the Divine Realm, I can only use it once more.¡±


    This is why a Nine Star Veils Semi-Divine, no matter how many Perfect Star Veins are awakened, can at most cultivate two Perfect Star Skills.


    This is all new information that Li Yuan has just received.


    As for how many Perfect Star Skills can be cultivated with Ten-Star Meridian? Li Yuan has no idea.


    ¡°Regardless of the future.¡±


    ¡°Right now, the most suitable for me are ¡®Fatian Xiangdi¡¯ and ¡®Void True Understanding¡¯.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself: ¡°¡®Fatian Xiangdi¡¯ is a Divine Body Star Technique; once cultivated, it will make my strength, speed, and the toughness of my body skyrocket rapidly.¡±


    ¡°The might of my combat capability will surge greatly.¡±


    From First Layer Star Technique to Nine Layer Star Technique, the disparity grows with higher ranks; a Nine Layer Star Technique¡¯s might far surpasses the Eighth Layer Star Technique, but there is no qualitative change.


    Perfect Star Skills, however, are entirely different.


    Heavenly Gods who have cultivated Perfect Star Skills for combat¡­ each one is a terrifying existence among the Heavenly Gods.


    ¡°¡®Fatian Xiangdi¡¯ holds infinite might, but it has no help in my comprehension of the Mysteries of the Law,¡± contemplated Li Yuan.


    Star Vein Star Skills and Laws, both are equally important.


    To ascend to Heavenly God, one must at least awaken Seven Star Veins, but also at least comprehend one Great Dao completely.


    Life is finite, efficiency in Law comprehension, is very important.


    ¡°Sister Gu You once said that there are eight supremely strong auxiliary Star Techniques in the unending dimension river for the Seven Fundamental Laws, the highest being ¡®Nine Layer Star Technique¡¯.¡± Li Yuan silently thought, ¡°The ¡®Heavenly Wind Star Vein True Solution¡¯ and ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ I¡¯m practicing rank among them¡­ and Space Law is a superior law.¡±


    ¡°And this ¡®Void True Understanding¡¯ is a Tenth Layer Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan silently asked.


    Should one cultivate ¡°Void True Understanding¡±, its lethality would be equivalent to a Nine Layer Star Technique, yet far from matching ¡°Fatian Xiangdi¡±.


    The greatest help, is that it enhances the efficiency of Space Law cultivation.


    Like Li Yuan, who in just over a decade, while cultivating several laws concurrently, still managed to advance both the Earth and Wind Laws to Seventh Stage High Rank, and the efficiency of his deductive comprehension hasn¡¯t slowed at all¡­ one important reason being, he has practiced two auxiliary Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    Space Law, is even more imperative.


    After all, even for a Heavenly God, it is impossible to fully comprehend Space Law¡­


    ¡°If I cultivate ¡®Fatian Xiangdi¡¯, the likelihood of seizing an Ancestral Realm Order would greatly increase,¡± Li Yuan considered, ¡°But my ultimate goal as a demigod is to awaken the Ten-Star Meridian.¡±


    To awaken the Ten-Star Meridian, comprehension of the Laws is even more important.


    ¡°Moreover, enhancing my Space Law Comprehension also continuously increases my strength, and its ultimate effect may not necessarily be weaker than that of ¡®Fatian Xiangdi¡¯.¡± Li Yuan had made up his mind and immediately spoke out loud, ¡°I wish to cultivate ¡®Void True Understanding¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Confirm?¡± A gentle voice echoed through the hall.


    ¡°Confirm.¡± Li Yuan decisively said, having made his decision, there was no need for hesitation.


    Boom!


    An invisible fluctuation emerged from deeper within the ground of the Quiet Chamber, sweeping over Li Yuan in an instant. Li Yuan felt as if his Divine Soul was roaring and exploding, seemingly merging with the ground as one.


    In the next instant, streams of profound information flew directly into Li Yuan¡¯s mind, embedding deep into his memory within his soul.


    It was related information about the ¡°Void True Understanding.¡±


    Time passed.


    The vastness of the Tenth Layer Star Technique¡¯s cultivation information far exceeded anything Li Yuan had encountered before. Even for a Pseudo-God Level Soul like Li Yuan, fully receiving it was still incredibly challenging.


    ¡­


    Inside the Eternal Hall.


    ¡°Chose ¡®Void True Understanding¡¯, huh?¡± The silver-haired elder nodded to himself, ¡°Indeed, that works too.¡±


    ¡°Being a Space Dao Body by nature, and now cultivating ¡®Void True Understanding¡¯, hehe, perhaps it might give those guys in the Chaos Divine Court a little shock.¡± The silver-haired elder revealed a slight smile.


    Just like Dongfang Ji, Sister Gu You, and Qiu Bingzun, they all felt Li Yuan¡¯s talent in Space Law was astonishing, incredibly formidable beyond expectation.


    With the vision of the silver-haired elder, he could see at a glance that Li Yuan was a ¡®Space Dao Body¡¯.

    Chapter 878: Chapter 447 True Intention of Space_2


    This special physique is already unbelievably strong.


    Thinking of this.


    Whoosh!


    The elder with silver hair beckoned with his hand, and a dog¡¯s head emerged out of the void, its tongue lolling: ¡°Honored one, what shall I do for you?¡±


    ¡°Go and craft a Pseudo-God Level Origin Divine Artifact for that youngster in the ¡®Star Technique Divine Pillar¡¯. Make it a spear,¡± instructed the silver-haired elder: ¡°Remember to be quick, I am pressed for time.¡±


    As he spoke, the silver-haired elder pointed with his finger, and a rush of messages was transmitted into the dog¡¯s head: ¡°This is the complete footage of his spear practice, containing the mysteries of Law fluctuations.¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God Level Origin Divine Artifact? Easy!¡± The dog-headed being breathed a sigh of relief and said: ¡°Honored one, I will first observe his Soul Aura.¡±


    The dog¡¯s head then vanished back into the void.


    ¡­


    Within that Quiet Chamber.


    Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged, ceaselessly receiving the cultivation messages of ¡°Void True Understanding¡±, which were being integrated into his memory through special means, preventing him from forgetting and also making it impossible for others to find through Soul Search.


    ¡°True God Chapter!¡±


    ¡°Heavenly God Chapter.¡± Li Yuan kept receiving, and the further the chapters, the more astounding the information they contained. At the same time, he was also unwittingly comprehending the key points of cultivation from the previous ranks.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current realm, merely comprehending the mysteries of the first three ranks was very easy, and the messages broke through one checkpoint after another.


    Before long, less than two days after receiving the complete messages, Li Yuan had basically comprehended the first four ranks of mysteries of the ¡°Void True Understanding.¡±


    However, comprehending is one thing; truly refining and branding the Star Marks within one¡¯s body is another matter entirely.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say treasures necessary for cultivation would be provided?¡± Li Yuan opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings.


    Seemingly in response to his thoughts.


    Rustle rustle~ Around Li Yuan, a multitude of Exotic Treasures emerged out of thin air, precisely the various treasures needed for cultivating the first four ranks of the ¡°Void True Understanding.¡±


    ¡°This is truly miraculous.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, then no longer pondered, as the Eternal Hall was obviously far beyond his own capabilities.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Activating the ¡°Void True Understanding¡± Method and the Perfect Star Vein within him, Li Yuan began to absorb the essence of each Exotic Treasure, many of which directly integrated into his body.


    Within his body, on that Perfect Star Vein, a multitude of Star Marks condensed and quickly unified with the Life Star.


    Only moments later.


    ¡°First Rank, achieved.¡± Li Yuan sensed.


    Ding! The moment the last of the 129,600 Life Stars was imprinted with a Star Mark.


    Instantly, Li Yuan felt his compatibility with the origin of the Space Law in the vast universe rapidly increasing.


    But Li Yuan knew that at this moment, he hadn¡¯t yet fully achieved success. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Fire Seed.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power Space¡¯s rather dim Second Fire Seed suddenly sprang to action, quickly merging into the Perfect Star Vein that had just been cultivated to the pinnacle of the first rank with ¡°Void True Understanding.¡±


    Boom! The moment the Fire Seed merged, Li Yuan felt a dramatic increase in his control over the entire Star Vein.


    The Star Vein suddenly exuded a hazy radiance, radiating from the inside out.


    Had any mortals been present, they would have been astounded to find that Li Yuan now resembled a perfect painting, his body radiating light with a hint of sacredness that could inspire a sense of profound admiration.


    Sacred!


    Perfect!


    ¡°This is what a Perfect Star Skill is.¡± Li Yuan had a clear understanding: ¡°The Star Marks perfectly integrated with one¡¯s soul, and Life Fire¡­ this way, the future cultivation to the Fourth Rank, Fifth Rank, Seventh Rank, and even the legendary Eighth Rank pinnacle will be unimpeded.¡±


    Without the merging of the Fire Seed


    Merely forcibly cultivating with the Perfect Star Vein, one would typically reach their limit by the Fourth Rank, and their might would be significantly weaker.


    ¡°Continue.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan continued cultivating the Second Rank of ¡°Void True Understanding.¡±


    ¡­


    Three days later, Li Yuan cultivated the ¡°Void True Understanding¡± to the pinnacle of the Second Rank!


    ¡­


    Another half a month passed and Li Yuan cultivated the ¡°Void True Understanding¡± to the Limit of the Third Rank.


    Clearly, even after having comprehended many checkpoints, the task of condensing the Star Marks of the Tenth Layer Star Technique proved to be much more challenging.


    Condensing the Fourth Rank Star Marks was even harder.


    ¡­


    Three months passed in the blink of an eye¡­ Li Yuan finally cultivated the ¡°Void True Understanding¡± to the pinnacle of the Fourth Rank.


    At the very moment of complete achievement.


    ¡°Boom~¡± With the operation of the Star Vein, the origin of the Space Law, to which Li Yuan had been extremely sensitive, soared once more.


    In a vague sense.


    Li Yuan¡¯s soul consciousness seemed to truly approach the Mysterious Vast Land¡ªthe origin of the Space Law.


    The Law Origin Land, the very source of heaven and earth.


    Li Yuan was not actually descending with true consciousness¡­ but his compatibility with the Space Law Origin was now so high that even across endless time and space, it felt as if he was infinitely close to observation.


    ¡°Perception.¡±


    ¡°So clear! These fluctuations of the Space Law.¡± Li Yuan was shocked by the clarity within him: ¡°No wonder, no wonder the database says many Pseudo-Gods spend thousands of years unable to condense the True Intention of Space, once they step into True Godhood, with the help of the Divine Heart, not only can they quickly condense the True Intention of Space but even hope to step into the Threshold of the Space Law.¡±


    The reason being, after condensing the Divine Heart, True Gods could sense the origin of the Space Law more clearly through it, and their efficiency in comprehending the Space Law would skyrocket.


    What about Li Yuan?


    He naturally had an astonishingly high talent for the Space Law, nearly condensing True Intention of Space in just a few short years.


    Now, with the cultivation of ¡°Void True Understanding¡±¡­ he has far surpassed his past achievements.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid!¡±


    ¡°The majority of True Gods, despite having the Divine Heart and even though their souls are far stronger than mine, would still not match my efficiency in comprehending the Space Law.¡± Li Yuan realized.


    This feeling was too exhilarating.


    Li Yuan¡¯s prior knowledge on the ¡®Mysteries of Space¡¯ was reorganizing.


    Without hesitation, Li Yuan directly immersed himself in the perception of space fluctuations.


    Layered accumulation and eventual breakthrough!

 Chapter 879 - 447: True Intention of Space_3

    Chapter 879: Chapter 447: True Intention of Space_3


    It¡¯s like solving math problems, where one contemplates deeply over each challenging question. Although the solutions are not found, enough confusion has been accumulated. Now, with a rapid acceleration of thought processing, a breakthrough is naturally made upon revisiting the problems.


    The current Li Yuan is akin to having an epiphany.


    ¡°The Mysteries of Space! The fluctuations of space.¡± Countless moments of enlightenment collide in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, with flashes of spiritual light.


    Days pass by.


    He has long finished practicing the ¡°Void True Understanding,¡± and the silver-haired elder from the Eternal Hall knows it too, but he doesn¡¯t bother to rush Li Yuan.


    As long as Li Yuan is willing, he could cultivate here for ten years, or even a hundred.


    In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has gone by.


    Immersed in cultivation, Li Yuan combines a plethora of old and new insights, reorganizing them into perfection.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Li Yuan finally understands: ¡°This is the True Intention of Space?¡±


    Whoosh~


    Waves of invisible spatial fluctuations emanate from Li Yuan, making his entire being appear hazy and ethereal.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of the entire world undergoes profound changes.


    Huh!


    Li Yuan opens his eyes, feeling a clear difference in the space within the Quiet Chamber compared to before.


    Below the surface layer of the world, weak powers of heaven and earth intermingle with the powers of fire, earth, wind, thunder¡­ The Seven Great Laws intertwine, together constituting the world.


    ¡°No wonder, space is a higher-order law.¡±


    ¡°Space is the origin of all things and spirits, the very foundation of existence; it is space, and without it, nothing exists.¡± Li Yuan now understands this: ¡°The origins of the Seven Fundamental Laws are all operated on the cornerstone of the Law Origin of Space.¡±


    As ¡®one¡¯ begets ¡®two¡¯, ¡®two¡¯ begets ¡®three¡¯, and ¡®three¡¯ begets all things.


    The Space Law Origin is ¡®one¡¯.


    The Seven Fundamental Laws Origin is ¡®three¡¯.


    And then, all things in the world unfold from there.


    ¡°Thus, for Pseudo-Gods, contemplating a single law to the Eighth Stage Level allows them to glimpse the existence of space from below to above and then gradually commence the comprehension of its mysteries,¡± Li Yuan muses to himself: ¡°Similarly, if one¡¯s comprehension of space reaches an extremely high level, then contemplating the Seven Fundamental Laws from a lofty perspective becomes easier.¡±


    Because space is the source.


    ¡°Above space, there lies time,¡± Li Yuan contemplates: ¡°Time is most mysterious¡­¡±


    But Li Yuan does not dwell on it further.


    The Mysteries of Time are beyond his current understanding.


    Huh!


    Li Yuan comes to a realization, as the Law Power of Earth diffuses around him, and he can¡¯t help but smile: ¡°Having just grasped the True Intention of Space, it made the comprehension of other laws easier, but the Law of Earth has actually stepped into the Seven Stages of Perfection just like that?¡±


    Although Li Yuan¡¯s contemplation of the Law of Earth had already reached the pinnacle of the Seventh Stage High Rank, he had not been doing it intentionally over the past year.


    Yet now, without even realizing it, he has made a breakthrough.


    ¡°I have condensed the Life Fire Source Pill with the Law of Earth.¡± Li Yuan smiles slightly: ¡°Finally stepping into the Seven Stages of Perfection, relying solely on the Law of Earth, now I am at the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    This means, should Li Yuan choose, he could become a Pseudo-God in the next moment.


    Huh!


    Li Yuan rises and exits the Quiet Chamber with one step, returning to the inside of the Eternal Hall.


    ¡°Have you comprehended the True Intention of Space?¡± The silver-haired senior looks at Li Yuan with a smiling expression, well aware of everything Li Yuan has experienced.


    ¡°Thank you, senior,¡± Li Yuan says respectfully.


    ¡°No need to thank me, this is what you deserved,¡± the silver-haired senior says: ¡°The True Intention of Space is something that true gods generally hope to control¡­ but do not be complacent. In the vast world, almost all of the top beings among demigods control the True Intention of Space.¡±


    Li Yuan nods in agreement; for instance, Dongfang Alliance Leader has also condensed the True Intention of Space.


    The True Intention of Space, although its might only corresponds to the eight-stage standard of an ordinary law, does not seem high¡­ but it is the foundation.


    ¡°You can also receive a Mirror of Laws now, do you wish to accept it?¡± The silver-haired elder asks directly: ¡°Which law would you like?¡±


    ¡°Wind!¡±


    ¡°The Wind Law,¡± Li Yuan immediately says, for the two mirrors of laws he obtained previously contained the Fire Law and the Earth Law, respectively.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Walk to the right, into the third Divine Pillar,¡± the silver-haired elder instructs.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan heads straight for the Divine Pillar and disappears upon touching it.


    ¡­


    Rumble!


    The Mark formed by soul fragments intertwines with Li Yuan¡¯s soul consciousness.


    ¡°The Wind Law,¡± he becomes completely immersed in it. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hum~


    This is a vast world, where a young man in purple stands in the void, overlooking the grand and prosperous world below.


    Numerous cities sprinkle the landscape, home to countless living beings.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The purple-garmented youth produced a Divine Spear in his hand, gripping the shaft, he lightly swept towards the void below.


    It was so light! Just as though the Long Spear was casually flicked.


    The wind started!


    In an instant, gust after gust of wind arose between heaven and earth, starting off slight but soon undergoing an incredibly profound change, eventually forming a violent wind that enshrouded the entire heaven and earth.


    This violent wind enveloped the entire world below.


    Boom, boom, boom~


    The ground collapsed, cities were destroyed, countless creatures wailed, everything within this world, be it life or other matter, was obliterated under the raging wind.


    Ultimately, the once thriving world had become nothingness, as though it had never existed.


    ¡°Wind!¡±


    ¡°This is the power of wind.¡±


    ¡°Wind, it moves all things, leading to constant reorganization and migration, the birth of life, the emergence of countless oddities, none can do without the power of wind.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness murmured to itself, filled with shock: ¡°But wind, is also the destroyer of everything.¡±


    Of course, Li Yuan understood.


    This mysterious purple-garmented youth, with that one spear thrust, to wield such terrifying might, must have grasped the complete Wind Law, and also utilized the Mysteries of the Space Law.


    ¡°It¡¯s Space Cutting.¡±


    ¡°Combined with the Wind Law, it possesses extreme Penetrative Power.¡± Li Yuan also pondered the direction of ¡®Space Cutting¡¯.


    This was a path completely different from that of Bai He Heavenly God.


    One created the heavens and earth, the other destroyed them.


    The three Mirrors of Laws all provided Li Yuan with completely different experiences, each resonating and intermingling with the others.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan was fully immersed in cultivation.


    ¡­


    A whole month later.


    Li Yuan emerged from the Divine Pillar, seeming even more enigmatic and elusive.


    ¡°Haha, your Comprehension is impressive.¡±


    ¡°To think that a single Mirror of Laws has elevated your Wind Law directly to the Perfection Level of the Seventh Stage in just one short month.¡± The silver-haired elder laughed.


    Li Yuan was quick to progress in the Space Law, which he understood.


    But to also make such rapid advancement in the basic laws of earth and wind? His Comprehension was indeed astonishing!


    ¡°Luck.¡± Li Yuan smiled and said.


    Indeed, there was an element of luck involved.


    In the space inside that Divine Pillar, witnessing the world-destroying violent wind had a profound impact on Li Yuan¡­ Coupled with the recent condensation of the True Intention of Space, it unexpectedly led him to a breakthrough in his continual comprehension.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Skill Realm: True Intention of Space (Eighth Stage Initial Rank), Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Perfection), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Perfection), True Meaning of Fire (Sixth Stage Perfection), True Meaning of Water (Sixth Stage High Rank), True Meaning of Wood (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), True Meaning of Metal (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), True Meaning of Thunder (Sixth Stage Initial Rank)]


    ¡­


    It wasn¡¯t just the Wind Law that had made a breakthrough, Li Yuan had imperceptibly stepped into the level of True Intent with the seven fundamental laws he had the least comprehension of.


    One law conceiving myriad laws, that¡¯s what it was.


    ¡°In the year you¡¯ve spent in the Eternal Hall, you¡¯ve made great strides in your comprehension of the laws, and your progress will be astonishing in the future. However, to truly unleash their might, you still need to delve deeper into combat secret techniques,¡± said the silver-haired elder.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    He had been continually deducing the comprehension of laws and hadn¡¯t yet had time to integrate them. His understanding of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± was still stuck at the Fifth Move.


    But now that the essence of his three major laws had undergone Transformation, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to grasp the Sixth Move.


    Once the Sixth Move is comprehended, it would qualify as a move of the Pseudo-God Peak level, and among the countless Demigods of the Divine Fire Hall, it is estimated to rank within the top hundred.


    To go higher, one would be among the Demigod Saint Heirs. Based on Li Yuan¡¯s observation, the complexity of their techniques must be comparable to the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s¡± Seventh Move.


    Jing Kui? He was even more terrifying!


    ¡°In terms of Law Comprehension, I am still far behind the Demigod Saint Heirs,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°Comparing Law Comprehension with Jing Kui? That¡¯s simply not possible.¡±


    No helping it, Li Yuan¡¯s Cultivation Time was too short.


    Although he had cultivated the ¡°Void True Understanding,¡± it required time to exhibit the effects of the Perfect Star Skill.


    ¡°However, Law Comprehension is only a part of one¡¯s strength,¡± Li Yuan reassured himself, believing that in other aspects, he was uniquely powerful.


    Currently, he already had the potential to seize the Ancestral Realm Order.


    ¡°A few more years, and I can continue to improve,¡± Li Yuan thought. If before entering the Eternal Hall, he was unsure about seizing the Ancestral Realm Order in a few years.


    Now, Li Yuan had more than 90% confidence.


    ¡°Young fellow!¡±


    ¡°Your Origin Divine Artifact has already been forged, take a look!¡± The silver-haired elder suddenly pointed to the void.

 Chapter 880 - 448: Return! Pseudo-God Peak

    Chapter 880: Chapter 448: Return! Pseudo-God Peak


    Origin Divine Artifact, a very special category of weapons, appears indistinguishable from normal divine artifacts in both appearance and material at first glance.


    The key lies in its origin essence.


    It is often an ¡®exclusive weapon¡¯ refined by an artifact-refining Heavenly Divine, who observes a cultivator¡¯s soul essence and cultivation path, specifically for that cultivator.


    In pursuit of perfect harmony.


    ¡°A Semi Divine can use only Pseudo-God Artifacts at most,¡± Li Yuan held a silver Divine Spear in his hand: ¡°Like my Dark Star Divine Spear, which was jointly refined by Sister Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, it suits me better than most top-grade virtual divine artifacts.¡±


    However, when compared to an Origin Divine Artifact, even the Dark Star Divine Spear is slightly less powerful when executing the same techniques.


    Just like some powerful Absolute Secret Skills.


    The might is often the strongest in the hands of the founder, why? Because it¡¯s a perfect fit for oneself.


    Successors will always fall short to some extent.


    ¡°Other artifacts require nurturing over a period of time when I use them,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently: ¡°But this Origin Divine Artifact needs no such nurturing.¡±


    Holding it, Li Yuan felt very comfortable, as if he had been battling alongside it for hundreds of years, in perfect sync with his intentions.


    ¡°A fine weapon.¡± Li Yuan casually swung it, and just a mere movement caused the void to feel as if it were trembling.


    This was definitely beyond what the Dark Star Divine Spear could achieve.


    ¡°Store your weapon away.¡±


    The silver-haired elder smiled and said, ¡°Good, you¡¯ve received all the benefits of a Golden Garment Member.¡±


    ¡°Now it¡¯s time for you to choose, whether to return to your home world or to continue executing the tasks of a Purple Garment Member.¡±


    ¡°Continue executing,¡± Li Yuan answered without hesitation.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± the silver-haired elder was not surprised: ¡°With your strength, it¡¯s not difficult to complete Purple Garment tasks, but you must still be cautious¡­ The Ancestral Realm War on the Jue Xing Continent is not as simple as you imagine.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered this thought.


    The first thing that came to mind was the Jue Xing Divine Elixir.


    This magical substance that helps awaken the Star Meridian is not mentioned in any of the divine realm materials he knew.


    ¡°Are you ready to leave now, or do you wish to continue staying here?¡± the silver-haired elder asked: ¡°The flow of time here is the same as on Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve already spent a year and a half here,¡± the silver-haired elder said.


    ¡°Predecessor, may I stay longer in the Star Technique space to cultivate?¡± Li Yuan inquired further.


    That Quiet Chamber, where the mind becomes unprecedentedly calm, is a superb treasure for aiding cultivation.


    ¡°As you wish.¡±


    ¡°Just don¡¯t wander into other Divine Pillar spaces,¡± the silver-haired elder cautioned: ¡°Also, keep track of the time yourself, if you miss this Ancestral Realm War¡­ if you want to complete the Purple Garment task again, you will have to wait another five hundred years.¡±


    ¡°Once you complete the Purple Garment task, you¡¯ll get another treasure¡­ its value should surpass your expectations.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m off.¡±


    ¡°If you wish to leave, just call out here,¡± the silver-haired elder walked away slowly, hands behind his back, and soon entered one of the Divine Pillars and disappeared.


    Li Yuan watched him go.


    ¡°A Purple Garment task? A treasure beyond my imagination? What could it be?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s curiosity piqued, and he made a firm decision to triumph in the Ancestral Realm War.


    ¡°There is a little more than five years left until the Ancestral Realm War.¡±


    ¡°Origin Power and Star Technique, I¡¯ve already cultivated to the extreme,¡± filled with fighting spirit, Li Yuan said: ¡°Next, I will continue to reflect on the Laws and refine my Spear Technique.¡±


    His comprehension of the Laws has greatly advanced, but yet to be transformed into strength.


    His own Spear Technique is only equivalent to the Pseudo-God Intermediate Rank standard.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan stowed his Long Spear and directly entered the Star Technique Divine Pillar, sitting cross-legged in the Quiet Chamber, immersing himself in the mysteries of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± attempting to combine the three laws into one.


    ¡­


    Time passed by.


    In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.


    Li Yuan felt that his cultivation had reached its current peak, and that continuing to practice would no longer be very effective.


    ¡°Might as well return to Jue Xing Continent. Alongside cultivation, I can also complete some trial tasks and accumulate more treasures,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Without hesitation, with a thought, Li Yuan once again emerged from the Star Technique Divine Pillar.


    But this time, the silver-haired elder was no longer waiting in the Temple.


    ¡°Predecessor, I wish to go back and continue with the mission,¡± Li Yuan called out loudly.


    The next moment.


    Hum~ S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    An invisible ripple enveloped Li Yuan, mysterious and vast, and with a shift in space and time, Li Yuan disappeared within the majestic Temple.


    ¡­


    In the vast and broad Dragon Blood Realm, within an inconspicuous mountain range and gorge.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan appeared out of thin air.


    ¡°Hmm? I¡¯ve returned already? What kind of Divine Skills are these? Even though I have condensed the True Intention of Space, I¡¯m still unable to detect any traces,¡± Li Yuan marveled in recognition.


    Immediately afterward.


    Li Yuan sensed in his Spiritual World, next to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, there was still a golden Token.


    With a little sensing, Li Yuan received the message from the token: ¡°Once activated, if you have completed the Purple Garment task, you may return to Eternal Hall, if not, you will immediately return to your home world.¡±


    Return Command!


    ¡°Thus said, could this be an item for preserving life?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    If he encounters an unavoidable danger, he could just activate the Return Command; True Gods should not be able to stop it.


    Whether Heavenly Gods can stop it or not, Li Yuan was not sure.


    ¡°But if I use the Return Command before completing the Ancestral Realm War, it would be tantamount to failing the Purple Garment task,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°This can only be a last resort.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan looked up at the surrounding mountain ranges.


    The place he was in was where he left two and a half years ago, his now enhanced perception ability, due to his mastery of the True Intention of Space, allowed him to easily observe details thousands of kilometers away.


    Divine Sense Inquiry was precise, but limited in scope.


    Whereas spatial awareness was a bit fuzzier, but had a much broader range.


    ¡°I have returned, those two Soul Lanterns should have been reignited by now.¡± Li Yuan looked towards the void: ¡°Brother Jiang Yuan should already know.¡±


    ¡°If he wants to find me, he will seek me out for a talk.¡±


    ¡°I wonder what kind of thoughts Brother Jiang Yuan will have knowing that I have condensed the True Intention of Space?¡± Li Yuan revealed a trace of a smile.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan flew up into the sky, his figure flickered, easily surpassing the speed of 50 kilometers per second¡­ and this was not even Li Yuan going all out.


    Speed alone!


    At full power, Li Yuan¡¯s speed surpasses that of the vast majority of peak Pseudo-God powerhouses.


    After more than two years of concealed cultivation in Eternal Hall, Li Yuan¡¯s strength has changed dramatically.


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll complete the ¡®trial mission¡¯ of Dragon Blood Realm.¡± Li Yuan thought, and swiftly disappeared at the edge of the horizon.


    ¡­


    Inside Jue Xing Ancient City, deep within the Law Enforcement Temple¡¯s hall.


    ¡°Deputy City Lord Jiang Yuan, the Soul Lamp of Saint Heir Xu Yuan has lit up again.¡± A message suddenly reached Jiang Yuan: ¡°Based on the rough location, it can be deduced that Saint Heir Xu Yuan should be in the Dragon Blood Realm now.¡±


    Jiang Yuan slightly opened his eyes, thinking to himself: ¡°The Soul Lamp is lit? Has he returned?¡±


    ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± Jiang Yuan True God responded to the message.


    Jiang Yuan True God initially wanted to activate the Communication Token that Li Yuan left with him to inquire.


    But after some consideration, Jiang Yuan True God decided not to.


    ¡°If there really is something important, Xu Yuan will naturally communicate with me.¡± Jiang Yuan True God thought to himself: ¡°As long as he comes back alive, that¡¯s good.¡±


    Although Xu Yuan¡¯s rapid growth made Jiang Yuan True God increasingly value him.


    Deep down, Jiang Yuan True God still believed in ¡®the strong shall empower themselves.¡¯


    ¡°I should still focus on my own cultivation.¡± Jiang Yuan True God gently closed his eyes: ¡°I am already on the verge of condensing the Will of Space Law, and I have even created an Absolute Combat Technique for Heavenly Divine¡­ Why can¡¯t I comprehend the Great Dao of Fire Law?¡±


    In terms of the height of Law Realm, Jiang Yuan True God reached the level of Heavenly God hundreds of years ago.


    To ascend to Heavenly God, one must fully comprehend a Law of the Great Dao. As Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s Direct Disciple, the Law he primarily contemplates is naturally the Fire Law.


    This last step has held Jiang Yuan True God back for thousands of years.


    ¡­


    Dragon Blood Realm.


    Over a vast lake, a giant figure clad in black combat armor, standing about a hundred meters tall, is engaged in a terrifying confrontation with a massive dragon beast.


    Boom~ The earthy yellow airflow enveloped the world in all directions, its terrifying might causing the water of the lake within a hundred kilometers to ripple and vanish in waves.


    The numerous sediments at the bottom of the lake were all stirred up simultaneously, violently vibrating.


    This was just the suppression of the domain. Those raging earthy yellow streams of air that fell on the purple dragon beast were like scraping and could not penetrate its defense.


    Whoosh!


    The black-armored giant clenched his fist, his large frame moving as fast as lightning, and with a punch, it seemed as though the surrounding space was completely engulfed, filled with a terrifying force.


    ¡°A Demigod?¡±


    ¡°Where did such a strong Demigod come from?¡± the purple dragon beast roared in its heart. It, too, swung its limbs swiftly like a pillar of heaven, fiercely smashing towards the fist.


    The two collided in an instant!!


    ¡°Boom!!!!!¡±


    Fist and limb collided, the space at the center of impact faintly twisted, and the horrifying aftermath instantaneously shook in all directions, causing the surface of the lake over a thousand kilometers to continually ripple¡­ Countless creatures in the lake were killed instantly.


    Even some Demigod-level dragon beasts, in their panic-stricken flight, died before they could escape the combat zone.


    Divine-level combatants, easily devastating the world.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    The two sides fought fiercely, clashing head-on with each other, each flash traverse seventy to eighty kilometers, the intense shock spreading thousands of kilometers, causing the vast lake to tremble continuously.


    Suddenly, the purple dragon beast swung its limb, and actually sent the black-armored giant flying back, flung over a hundred kilometers before violently crashing into the lake, causing a sky-high splash.


    ¡°Fighting without using weapons, without using soul attacks, to purely clash head-on and win against a level 54 dragon beast does seem a bit difficult,¡± Li Yuan said excitedly as he eyed the purple dragon beast; ¡°But it sure is thrilling.¡±


    This frenzied battle was purely for Li Yuan to temper his own combat techniques.


    Real combat is very important, as it can more swiftly reveal many of one¡¯s own weaknesses.


    ¡°Human!¡±


    ¡°Leave at once,¡± the purple dragon beast roared: ¡°Just a Semi Divine Realm, to be able to fight with me, you are indeed powerful, but you cannot possibly kill me.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°I have finished tempering; it¡¯s time for you to depart.¡± Li Yuan bared a smile, and instantly, a silver long spear appeared in his hand¡ªthe Silver Moon Divine Spear.


    This was the name Li Yuan gave to his Origin Divine Artifact.


    ¡°What?¡± The purple dragon beast felt uneasy, sensing a lethal threat from that seemingly ordinary silver spear.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan instantly produced dozens of phantom bodies. With the phantoms intertwining, the true body of Li Yuan holding the long spear had already appeared beside the purple dragon beast. The speed was so fast that the beast had not even had time to react.


    ¡°What? What kind of movement technique is this?¡± The purple dragon beast was completely baffled, unable to discern even one of the phantoms.


    How could it know that, after condensing the True Intention of Space, Li Yuan¡¯s execution of ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± had become even more terrifying.


    ¡°Quicksand Shadow!¡± With a thrust of his spear, the tip traced across the vast sky, causing the void itself to reveal a clear trail.


    The sixth move of ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡±, Quicksand Shadow!


    Within the overwhelming and true or false spear techniques, the mightiest spear shadow flickered by like a phantom.


    Sputter~ Under the impact of the spear light, the power was frightening.


    With the purple dragon beast completely unguarded, the spear light easily tore through its abdominal scales and defenses, creating a massive wound. An abundance of fresh blood splattered forth.


    ¡°How could this be!¡±


    ¡°This spear technique?¡± The purple dragon beast was completely dumbfounded, its eyes filled with fear: ¡°Peak of Pseudo-God Level?¡±


    ¡°A Demigod able to unleash the strength of a Peak of Pseudo-God?¡±


    ¡°What kind of monster is this from where!¡±


    ¡ª-


    Sensing the presence of Liu Bing!


    After communicating, it was known that Liu Bing had awakened the Eight Star Veins and her strength was growing rapidly.

 Chapter 881 - 449: Crazy Massacre! The Shock of the Higher-ups

    Chapter 881: Chapter 449: Crazy Massacre! The Shock of the Higher-ups


    ¡°A demigod with the strength of a Pseudo-God Peak? How profound must their Law Comprehension be?¡± The purple dragon beast was furious and astonished.


    During the recent confrontation, the strength of this human demigod had already shocked him, with full-spectrum suppression in domains, movement technique, and many other aspects, only when both parties engaged in brute force did they seem on par.


    But at that moment, the purple dragon beast was not afraid, after all, a Pseudo-God has much stronger life-preserving abilities.


    But what about now? Li Yuan¡¯s attack strength was too much stronger.


    ¡°Weapon? Is it that long spear? But I sense it¡¯s just a Pseudo-God Artifact, not a True God Instrument.¡± The purple dragon beast could not figure it out, but he did not wish to ponder any longer.


    To fight again would mean life-threatening danger.


    ¡°Flee swiftly! Otherwise, there¡¯s a real possibility I might die here.¡± The purple dragon beast leveraged his power to soar backward rapidly, trying to escape.


    ¡°Haha, without using the Silver Moon Divine Spear to perform the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ Sixth Move, my attack power would only be on the level of the 54th rank,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed slightly: ¡°Once I use it, indeed, there¡¯s a huge increase, comparable to the 55th rank, reaching the baseline level of Pseudo-God Peak.¡±


    A 55th rank Pseudo-God compared to a 54th would not only be stronger in terms of power level but also reach a higher sophistication in techniques, jumping from the Initial Rank of the Eighth Stage to the Intermediate Rank, greatly enhancing the overall strength.


    A normal Seven Star Veins demigod, having cultivated the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, can burst with strength comparable to a 51st rank Pseudo-God.


    Therefore, demigod Saint Heirs like Yan Dong and Dong Pan, with their comprehension of techniques close to the Pseudo-God Limit, can possess the strength of the 54th rank.


    Exceptional demigods mitigate their physical shortcomings with their comprehension of the laws.


    What about Li Yuan?


    As a Nine Star Pulse demigod, once his cultivation of Star Technique reached its limit and, in the state of performing ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± and ¡°Heaven and Earth River,¡± his strength was already comparable to that of a 54th rank Pseudo-God.


    The super strong foundational strength is just one aspect of the advantage that the Nine Star Pulse offers.


    The mastery of several Nine Layer Star Techniques will turn a Nine Star Pulse demigod into something extremely terrifying in all aspects.


    Take Li Yuan as an example, using the Silver Moon Divine Spear, it seems that his attack only reaches the 55th rank standard, but combined with ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± the threat is far greater than any other Pseudo-God Peak.


    ¡°Thinking of escaping?¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s phantom bodies interwove, each flash moving him a hundred kilometers, and with domain suppression, he was already closing in on the purple dragon beast again, making it impossible for it to flee.


    Subsequently, Li Yuan once more unleashed a sky-covering assault with his long spear.


    The might was much stronger than when first demonstrated in the classroom.


    ¡°How can he have so many phantoms? To maintain so many True Illusion Bodies? Completely indistinguishable to me; even other dragon beast brothers who practice Wind Law phantoms couldn¡¯t achieve this,¡± the purple dragon beast thought anxiously as he desperately waved his hooves to defend.


    ¡°Boom~ Boom! Boom!¡±


    The Silver Moon Spear, like a silver serpent, weaved through the void.


    Li Yuan¡¯s dozens of phantom bodies, along with his unpredictable spear technique, made it impossible for the dragon beast to evade, with almost every strike causing significant injury to it.


    In a blink of an eye.


    This purple dragon beast was now riddled with wounds all over its massive body, with terrifying gashes, and even its skull had been blasted away by half. The purple dragon beast struggled to restore its body.


    The Pseudo-God¡¯s soul, fused with Divine Fire.


    Even if its body was destroyed, it would not directly perish, but the bodily injuries would affect the circulation of Origin Power, burst of strength, etc.


    For instance, in Star Techniques, strength originates from the movement of the Star Meridian corresponding to the technique inside the body; if the body is damaged, the Star Meridians would naturally be affected as well.


    Therefore.


    As the battle continued, the purple exotic beast¡¯s ability to resist grew weaker and weaker, its body¡¯s damage simply couldn¡¯t keep up with the healing rate.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°No!¡± the purple exotic beast roared in agony.


    ¡°Respected human sir, spare me! Spare me! I am willing to offer all my treasures, and I can also provide you with information on other dragon beasts,¡± the purple exotic beast urgently telepathically transmitted.


    It was indeed desperate!


    It had not never encountered peak Pseudo-God experts¡­ whether they were humans or dragon beasts, it had clashed with them before.


    But it had never encountered such an abnormal opponent.


    The attacks were clearly only of a level 55 standard, but the flying speed was extremely fast, the domain was powerful, and with the numerous phantom bodies¡­ the threat level was at least ten times that of other peak Pseudo-God experts.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The spear shadows shifted.


    Li Yuan simply ignored its pleas for mercy and continued to attack frantically. In Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, this purple dragon beast was just a dumb, living target¡­ posing no threat to him whatsoever.


    The two sides fought again¡­ more accurately, it was a one-sided assault.


    ¡°No!¡± The purple dragon beast was completely desperate, as it let out a painful roar in its heart.


    ¡°Boom!!!¡± The purple dragon beast chose to ignite its Divine Fire within its body, which was the perfect combination explosion of the soul, will, and Origin Power core.


    Self-destruction!


    If it had been suppressed by some treasures, such as perfectly operating Divine Artifact Chains or some Sealing Secret Treasures¡­ with Sealing Power infiltrating its body, it would have been difficult to perform self-destruction.


    But in a direct confrontation like this, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t stop the opponent from self-destructing.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± In the heavens and the earth, it was as if a miniature sun had appeared instantaneously, unbearably hot, with the terrifying aftermath impacting in all directions, the layers of yellowish-brown gas formed by the Heaven and Earth River Domain being obliterated, the lake waters and rocks on the earth also being continuously annihilated.


    The self-destruction of a near-peak Pseudo-God expert was incredibly terrifying.


    The purple dragon beast, in its despair, hoped to inflict damage upon this detestable human Semi-Divine by self-destructing, after all, a Semi-Divine¡¯s ability to save itself was much weaker¡­ but in the instant it self-destructed.


    ¡°Void True Understanding¡ªVoid Travel!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure had already become blurry in an instant, merging into the void completely like flowing light, fleeing hundreds of kilometers away¡­ then he was finally caught up by the terrifying aftermath of the self-destruction.


    ¡°Boom boom boom!¡± The terrifying force of the impact, through the Heaven and Earth River Domain, struck Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    However, at such a distance, the impact wave¡¯s might had already weakened a great deal.


    With the double weakening of the domain and the Combat Armor, the residual force of the impact was very small, unable to cause any damage to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Void True Understanding truly possesses endless might,¡± Li Yuan withstood the self-destruction impact and couldn¡¯t help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.


    As a Tenth Layer Star Technique, ¡°Void True Understanding¡± has three major powers.


    First, it greatly increases Li Yuan¡¯s compatibility with the Origin of the Space Law, which is its core function.


    Second, it enhances the might of Li Yuan¡¯s use of the Mysteries of Space, though the effect is not very significant.


    Third, there is ¡®Void Travel.¡¯ In this state, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power consumption would soar, but his entire being would seem to have utilized a Nine Layer Escape Technique ¡°Heavenly God Feather,¡± with a terrifyingly extreme flight speed.


    ¡°Without using ¡®Void Travel,¡¯ my flying speed has already surpassed most at the Peak of Pseudo-God,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Once I deploy it, I fear that even Limit Experts might not compare with me.¡±


    This is the terror of the Tenth Layer Star Technique.


    Just an auxiliary effect of it is already comparable to a combat Perfect Star Skill.


    Of course, once activated, it consumes a huge amount of Origin Power¡­ After all, Li Yuan is only at level 49.9, and even though the Nine Star Veins maintain operation, he can¡¯t sustain the use for long.


    ¡°Going all out, in terms of Escape Skill speed, at the same rank, apart from top Wind Elemental Divine Beasts like Little Ice, probably no one can catch up with me,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He swiftly gathered the numerous treasures left by the remnants of the purple Dragon Beast, then broke open its chest to take out the Dragon Crystal.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan vanished in a flash, quickly disappearing at the end of the void.


    ¡­


    Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.


    Li Yuan walked the Dragon Blood Realm, constantly hunting Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts.


    Even though he was very cautious, traveling millions of kilometers before killing one Pseudo-God level Dragon Beast, it still caused a stir among the Dragon Beast tribes of this vast territory.


    First, although the Dragon Blood Realm is immense, the number of Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts is limited; in an extremely short time, dozens have perished¡­ which is quite astonishing.


    Second, the news that ¡®a human Semi-Divine has erupted with the power of the Peak of Pseudo-God¡¯ was too eye-catching, also making the news spread even faster.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    As Li Yuan flew through the void, he overlooked the boundless land below, also sensing the more distant lands.


    ¡°Time to search for the next prey.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered, ¡°Actual combat hones the Spear Technique; the level 56 Dragon Beast I encountered a few days ago, although I couldn¡¯t kill it, did improve my spear skills.¡±


    ¡°Continuing this killing journey, accumulating experience, one day I will be able to comprehend the Seventh Move of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯.¡±


    Comprehension of Laws and the mystery of moves are two different things.


    Just in terms of the standard of one Law of the Great Dao, Li Yuan¡¯s status in the Earth, Wind, and Space aspect is not particularly high¡­ Even though he has condensed the True Intention of Space, his understanding of the Space Dao is only about the level of the Initial Rank of Eighth Stage (Middle Rank Pseudo-God).


    But the Combat Techniques and moves are the expressions of Law Comprehension!!


    The combination of the three Laws has allowed Li Yuan to easily comprehend the Sixth Move of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ a move standard comparable to the Peak of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°In terms of the mystery of moves, I am slightly weaker than the Semi-Divine Saint Heirs,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile, ¡°But relying on the advantages of Origin Power and Star Techniques, not even Jing Kui may be my opponent.¡±


    To comprehend the Seventh Move of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯? In the battle of the Ancestral Realm, Li Yuan is destined to sweep through all opponents.


    But it is difficult.


    After all, the Seventh Move of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ is at the level of a move for Limit Experts.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother Jiang Yuan is looking for me?¡± Li Yuan secretly thought, ¡°Is it my time to be summoned?¡±


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Hall of Jue Xing Ancient City, within Li Yuan¡¯s mansion.


    Inside a special palace.


    Rustle~ An abundance of light and shadow converged, forming a Phantom of Li Yuan. It was the activation of the Token he had left behind.


    All members of the Divine Fire Hall, when venturing out, would leave similar tokens to ensure timely contacts during critical moments.


    ¡°Deputy City Lord, Chi Yang True God,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s phantom saw Jiang Yuan True God and the Chi Yang True God at his side, and he bowed in salute.


    ¡°Are you well?¡± Jiang Yuan True God asked directly.


    ¡°I am well,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, the human Semi-Divine who has been wantonly Slaughtering Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts in the Dragon Blood Realm recently, is it you?¡± Chi Yang True God could not help but ask.


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, ¡°In these past few months, I have only killed less than forty Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts¡­ That shouldn¡¯t be considered many, right?¡±


    ¡°Are you saying that it¡¯s me?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    Upon hearing this sentence.


    Jiang Yuan True God and Chi Yang True God both fell silent. That¡¯s not considered many?


    Are Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts so common as cabbages?


    However, both of the True Gods still found it slightly unbelievable in their hearts.


    Is it really Li Yuan?


    The news they had just received from the Dragon Blood Realm was just suspicious and not entirely certain.


    After all, although Li Yuan was ranked 11th in the last Semi-Divine ranking battle, it was based on his strong Soul Attack¡­ If it was about Material Attack methods, Li Yuan was also just at the level of hundreds within the Divine Fire Hall.


    And the intelligence they had got was that the human Semi-Divine slaughtering in the Dragon Blood Realm had achieved Material Attack power at the Peak of Pseudo-God level.


    Just that, there weren¡¯t many members of the Divine Fire Hall venturing in the Divine Fire Hall from Jue Xing Ancient City at the moment. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    That¡¯s why they quickly questioned Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s response also silenced them. Less than forty?


    The intelligence they controlled reported that the human Semi-Divine had killed over twenty.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, does your strength truly compare with the Peak of Pseudo-God?¡± Chi Yang True God could not help but ask.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    There wasn¡¯t much to hide about that.


    Jiang Yuan True God and Chi Yang True God exchanged looks.


    Even Jiang Yuan True God, who had high hopes, was somewhat inexplicably shocked at this moment.


    How much time has passed?


    It hasn¡¯t even been three years since the last ranking battle.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, stop the slaughter and come back immediately,¡± Chi Yang True God said directly, ¡°The Dragon Beast tribes in the Dragon Blood Realm have secretly joined forces to set traps¡­ According to the intelligence we have received, even True Divine level Dragon Beasts are aware of this, and are intent on killing you.¡±


    ¡°So we hurried to question you.¡±

 Chapter 882 - 450: What Jiang Yuan Seeks

    Chapter 882: Chapter 450: What Jiang Yuan Seeks


    ¡°True God?¡± Li Yuan was momentarily surprised; he knew that hunting Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts would definitely have an impact.


    But he did not expect to provoke a True God level Dragon Beast so soon.


    After all, according to the intelligence, the Dragon Blood Realm is comparable to dozens of Divine Kingdoms in size, with tens of thousands of Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°If you were a Pseudo-God, constantly changing identities and disguises, even killing so many Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts would at most cause some disturbances, since the Dragon Beasts near death can¡¯t replicate your soul aura.¡±


    ¡°But you are a Demigod, and even if you change disguises, the aura of a Demigod cannot be concealed, naturally attracting attention.¡± explained Jiang Yuan True God.


    Li Yuan instantly understood.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll come right back.¡± said Li Yuan immediately.


    ¡°No need,¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head, ¡°Just stay where you are and send me your location details. I will order Mou Zhuo True God to come for you¡­ The Dragon Beast clan has already set their pieces in play; if you travel alone, your movements will likely be exposed easily.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    After sending his approximate location details, Li Yuan, who was in the Dragon Blood Realm, did not move but stayed in the same place and continued to ponder over the profoundness of the Spear Technique.


    ¡°The ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ Sixth Move ¡®Quicksand Shadow¡¯ is in reality a burst of the Wind and Space Laws combined, creating a move dreamy like fog, aiming for unpredictability, not necessarily absolute attack might.¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°My version of ¡®Quicksand Shadow¡¯ is primarily based on Space Law.¡±


    ¡°The Seventh Move focuses on absolute burst, absolute might,¡± Li Yuan thought silently, ¡°To fathom this move, I should primarily rely on the comprehension of ¡®Space Cutting¡¯.¡±


    Space Dao is vast, encompassing many aspects, and Li Yuan¡¯s main comprehension directions are Space Cutting and World.


    ¡°But the Method is merely a guide.¡±


    ¡°All Combat Secret Skills ultimately need to adapt to the individual,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Having studied the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ till now, the moves Li Yuan has fathomed have already diverged significantly from the original.


    It is foreseeable that the difference will only grow greater.


    Until one day, when Li Yuan reaches a high realm, and the countless Combat Secret Skills and Absolute Skills he encounters are no longer suitable for him¡­ he will need to create his own Combat Techniques.


    However, for Li Yuan who is only at the Pseudo-God level in Law Comprehension, discussing such matters is somewhat premature.


    Creating Combat Secret Skills and Absolute Skills is something almost exclusively done by True God Peak experts who have nearly fully grasped the Great Dao.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan calmly waited for Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s arrival.


    Inside Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°Chi Yang, the news about Xu Yuan¡¯s strength must not leak out,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said gravely.


    ¡°Understood.¡± Chi Yang True God nodded, aware of the importance.


    Earlier, Li Yuan had already attracted attention from various major powers in the world through his use of Soul Attacks to defeat several Demigod Saint Heirs in the ranking battles.


    If the news of Xu Yuan possessing ¡®Pseudo-God Peak strength¡¯ were to spread, it would only cause greater upheaval.


    After all, how old is Xu Yuan?


    ¡°Deputy City Lord.¡± Chi Yang True God expressed his puzzlement, ¡°Even if we delay, once the battle in the Ancestral Realm takes place, news about Xu Yuan will be exposed, right?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s worry about it then, it¡¯s better to delay as long as possible,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Delaying each day counts.¡±


    Expose during the Ancestral Realm battle?


    According to Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s estimation, by the time that comes, it won¡¯t be long before Yuan has completely left this world.


    Exhale! sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After entrusting Chi Yang True God with the task, Jiang Yuan True God left the Divine Fire Hall and quickly arrived at a grand mansion within the inner city.


    As the Deputy City Lord, his passage was unhindered.


    Only stopping when he reached the innermost palace, Jiang Yuan True God respectfully said, ¡°City Lord.¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡± The voice of Tai You Heavenly God came from deep within the palace.


    At the same time, an invisible wave enveloped the corridor, preventing others from hearing their conversation.


    ¡°Just received news from the Dragon Blood Realm,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Xu Yuan in the field of Material Attacks, has already reached Pseudo-God Peak strength.¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God Peak? In Material Attacks?¡± The voice of Tai You Heavenly God expressed surprise, ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    Powerful as a Heavenly God.


    Even hearing this news seems somewhat unbelievable.


    ¡°Absolutely certain,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°I have personally asked Xu Yuan, and there are already Level 55 Dragon Beasts that have fallen to his hands¡­ I have ordered Mou Zhuo True God to fetch him, to prevent the information from leaking, and I will personally verify it once Xu Yuan returns.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I trust your actions,¡± Tai You Heavenly God slowly said.


    Previously appointing Jiang Yuan True God as the Law Enforcement Temple Hall Master was not only because of his strength but also because Tai You Heavenly God deeply trusted his handling of various affairs.


    ¡°Last time, I had informed the City Lord, hoping to exchange that Secret Treasure,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°I see that Xu Yuan is now at a time when his strength is rapidly advancing and needs to venture to various places, fighting with potent adversaries to temper himself¡­ But if Demigod status ventures, he might encounter many unexpected dangers.¡±


    Tempering and unexpected dangers are different.


    For example, in the Dragon Blood Realm, Li Yuan fighting with Pseudo-God Dragon Beasts, even if encountering a Pseudo-God Limit Dragon Beast, was part of ¡®tempering¡¯; if he died, it could only be attributed to inferior skill.


    But if the information leaked, leading other forces¡¯ True Gods to specifically hunt him down, that would be ¡®unexpected danger.¡¯


    ¡°Once he fully unleashes his strength, Changqing Ancient City will likely make a move,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°So, I want to exchange that Secret Treasure for him in advance.¡±


    ¡°Getting it early from the treasure vault? I have no objections,¡± the voice of Tai You Heavenly God was grand, ¡°But you must also understand, that Secret Treasure is generally usable by True Gods¡­ Even though Xu Yuan has amazing talent in the Soul Path, having become a Demigod not long ago, can he use it?¡±


    ¡°I want to give it to him now, not hoping that he can utilize its effects, but just hoping¡­¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed his purpose.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°If you have made up your mind, then go to the treasury to exchange it yourself,¡± said Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡°Thank you, City Lord.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had been adventuring in the Dragon Blood Realm for quite some time.


    He was already very far from the branch of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Therefore, even Mou Zhuo True God, upon receiving the message, hurried over nonstop and still took two days.


    ¡°Xu Yuan Saint Heir,¡± Mou Zhuo True God descended from the void, heading straight for the approximate location of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Mou Zhuo True God.¡± Li Yuan also soared into the sky, greeting Mou Zhuo True God who approached him with a smile on his face.


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan Saint Heir is truly formidable. In just a few years, to be able to unleash the strength at the Peak of Pseudo-God, impressive! Impressive!¡± Mou Zhuo True God said enthusiastically: ¡°Now, among the countless talents in the Divine Fire Hall, probably only Jing Kui can compare with you, Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°However, Jing Kui has trained for hundreds of years to achieve this¡­¡± Mou Zhuo True God sighed, ¡°How long have you been training, Xu Yuan Saint Heir? Your future is certainly far beyond his.¡±


    These words made Li Yuan somewhat embarrassed.


    The words were true, but Mou Zhuo True God seemed a bit too enthusiastic.


    When they first met, his attitude was good, but not like this.


    ¡°Mou Zhuo True God, let¡¯s leave this place first,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Haha, the Saint Heir is right,¡± Mou Zhuo True God nodded and laughed, ¡°Let¡¯s head back to the branch first, this area is indeed dangerous, I encountered a True God level Dragon Beast on my way here, but luckily it didn¡¯t dare to confront me.¡±


    ¡°True God level Dragon Beast?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked and also somewhat relieved.


    Luckily!


    If he had continued his reckless slaughter and encountered it, he might have had to use the ¡®Return Command¡¯ or the Dimension Transmission Order.


    He now had a chance of survival when encountering a Limit Expert of Pseudo-God.


    If he faced a True God, it would be certain death.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Mou Zhuo True God waved his hand, invisible force enveloping them, and the two soared into the sky.


    Two days later.


    In the branch of Jue Xing Ancient City within the Dragon Blood Realm.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    With a rush of brilliant light soaring into the sky, the Transmission Array lost the trace of Li Yuan and became empty once again.


    Outside the Transmission Array, the smile on Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s face faded.


    ¡°Mou Zhuo, why is your behavior different this time compared to last time?¡± a casual voice rang inside his mind, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say last time that there is no need to get close to Xu Yuan? But this time you were too polite and even gave him fifty Pseudo-God level Dragon Crystals¡­ That¡¯s not just getting close, it is more like currying favor.¡±


    ¡°You even made up that you encountered a True God level Dragon Beast on the way.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s different!¡±


    Mou Zhuo True God shook his head: ¡°Last time I was reluctant, because in normal circumstances, by the time he holds great power, I would probably already be gone, making it meaningless¡­ but now!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only been three years since he became a Semi-Divine, right?¡± Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°To already possess the strength at the Peak of Pseudo-God!! What kind of talent is that? Can you imagine?¡±


    The casual voice was stunned.


    ¡°Even the legendary ¡®Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent,¡¯ I feel, does not practice as quickly as Xu Yuan,¡± Mou Zhuo True God said solemnly.


    ¡°Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent? No way,¡± the casual voice couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°In the legends, the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent could grasp a Great Dao in a few hundred years, achieving the Peak of True God very quickly.¡±


    ¡°I trust my judgment,¡± Mou Zhuo True God spoke gravely, ¡°Perhaps the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent can become a Peak True God faster, but once its divine blood potential is exhausted¡­ the speed of ascending to Heavenly God is definitely not as fast as Xu Yuan¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°I bet Xu Yuan can break through the Heavenly God bottleneck quickly.¡±


    ¡°That is true,¡± the casual voice spoke, ¡°The rapid growth of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent is due to extremely powerful ancestral blood.¡±


    ¡°In my lifetime, becoming a Heavenly God is hopeless, but before I pass away, I might be able to see Xu Yuan become a Heavenly God¡­ Thus, getting close to him might bring some benefits,¡± Mou Zhuo True God spoke softly.


    Even if destined to end his life.


    But before death, he also had many unfulfilled wishes, some wishes¡­ only a Heavenly God could accomplish.


    This was the reason why Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s attitude towards Li Yuan had drastically changed.


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Realm.


    Whoosh!


    The brilliance dissipated, and Li Yuan emerged from the Transmission Array, shaking his head to himself: ¡°This Mou Zhuo True God is really enthusiastic, to directly give away 50 Pseudo-God level Dragon Crystals.¡±


    ¡°I felt bad not accepting them.¡±


    You should know, Li Yuan had only managed to obtain less than 40 Pseudo-God level Dragon Crystals through hard-fought battles before.


    Li Yuan also understood the other¡¯s intentions, merely knowing his strength, the other wanted to get close to him.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t think too deeply, as with the improvement in his strength, he could also manage to handle some key gifts.


    ¡°Junior brother, have you already returned to Jue Xing Realm? Come to me quickly,¡± Li Yuan received a transmission from Jiang Yuan True God.

 Chapter 883 - 451: Dao Treasure! True God Level Will (Additional Update)

    Chapter 883: Chapter 451: Dao Treasure! True God Level Will (Additional Update)


    Li Yuan did not return the quest but headed straight to the Law Enforcement Temple, encountering many Pseudo-God Level Jue Xing guards along the way.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, Saint Heir.¡±


    ¡°Saint Heir.¡± Many Pseudo-God Level Jue Xing guards saluted him, and over the years, Li Yuan¡¯s name had spread throughout the entire Jue Xing Ancient City¡ªmost people knew of his existence.


    ¡°I distinctly heard before that Saint Heir Xu Yuan had fallen.¡±


    ¡°That must be false news.¡±


    ¡°I heard too, saying that he hasn¡¯t shown up for several years.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s quite normal for a genius of his caliber to make a venture into some minor world,¡± some Pseudo-Gods whispered after saluting.


    Upon reaching the entrance of the Law Enforcement Temple.


    ¡°Saint Heir Xu Yuan.¡± The Commander outside lit up, hastening forward with a respectful salute: ¡°You haven¡¯t been here for several years.¡±


    ¡°Hu Shan Commander.¡± Li Yuan also showed a smile: ¡°I¡¯ve been in concealed cultivation, only recently had some time.¡±


    ¡°The Deputy City Lord has sent a message.¡± Hu Shan Commander smiled: ¡°You can directly enter the Main Hall.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Passing through corridors and side halls, Li Yuan alone stepped deep into the hall.


    The hall was still empty, with only Jiang Yuan True God seated cross-legged alone.


    ¡°Brother.¡± Li Yuan gave a respectful salute.


    Whoosh~


    Jiang Yuan True God opened his eyes, showing a smile: ¡°It¡¯s good you¡¯re back safely. When we met a few days ago, Chi Yang True God was there, so it wasn¡¯t easy to ask you many things¡­ Not seeing you for years and you¡¯ve grown so quickly, it seems your return to the Divine Realm brought great gains.¡±


    ¡°I did have some gains.¡±


    Li Yuan spoke vaguely: ¡°Mainly, I¡¯ve perfected the Star Technique to its limits and deduced some new moves and secret techniques.¡±


    ¡°New moves and secret techniques? Show them to me, let me see.¡± Jiang Yuan True God suddenly said: ¡°No need to summon Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Li Yuan did not hesitate and took out an ordinary Long Spear, with just a forward dash, he became nearly invisible, faintly merging into space itself.


    ¡°Tear!¡± The Long Spear traced a dazzling light through the void, like a sand illusion, exceedingly splendid.


    If he were to summon the full burst of Star Technique Origin Power, this spear move would be enough to make space tremble.


    Zoom!


    After performing this spear move, Li Yuan¡¯s aura quickly returned to normal.


    ¡°Please evaluate, brother.¡± Li Yuan said respectfully, feeling quite proud in his heart.


    Eight years ago, when he first arrived at the Jue Xing Continent, his Spear Technique was only at the Semi-Divine Limit level.


    Eight years later, it is already comparable to the moves at the Pseudo-God Peak level, an improvement not to be underestimated.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Jiang Yuan True God, with his profound insight, sensed it slightly and judged immediately, his eyes lighting up: ¡°Xu Yuan, have you condensed the True Intention of Space?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I achieved it a year ago.¡± Li Yuan nodded, not hiding it.


    ¡°Haha, excellent.¡± Jiang Yuan True God expressed feelingly: ¡°You indeed have an incredible talent on the path of Space Dao. I thought it was good enough that you could condense the True Intention of Space during the battle in Ancestral Realm¡­ Excellent.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    True Intention of Space, something many True Gods haven¡¯t even condensed.


    ¡°True Intention of Space, although not very high in terms of absolute height, has just stepped into the Eighth Stage level.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°But the Space Law is extremely important¡­ It¡¯s the source of all paths, making it easier to integrate with the Seven Fundamental Laws, thereby creating stronger secret techniques.¡±


    ¡°For instance, a powerhouse, if sensing the Law of Water, Law of Fire¡­ trying to combine the Water and Fire Laws together would be difficult.¡±


    ¡°But if one can grasp some Mysteries of Space and then combine them together, it becomes much easier.¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke solemnly.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan understood this point.


    Ever since delving into the Space Dao, integrating the Earth and Wind Laws also became incredibly smooth, allowing him to quickly conceive the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± Sixth Move.


    ¡°Your strength is already strong, seizing the Ancestral Realm Order is no longer too difficult for you.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°But I hope, your goal should shift, not only to seize the Ancestral Realm Order but also to strive to showcase even stronger strength in the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan was startled.


    Showcase even stronger strength? What does this mean?


    ¡°This is just my conjecture, Ancestral Realm is the place opened by the founders of our world¡­ The operation of Ancestral Realm only allows Demigods to enter, but the Ancestral Realm Order is just a basis, the stronger your strength, the greater your likely final gain might be.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said.


    Li Yuan listened, Ancestral Realm indeed was mysterious, having been in the core ranks of Jue Xing Ancient City for so long, every dossier mentioned the Ancestral Realm.


    ¡°To strengthen yourself, just closed-door cultivation is not enough.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°You need to see more landscapes, even battle against more Pseudo-God Powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°In life and death combat, it may be more effective than us True Gods instructing you.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡± Li Yuan nodded continuously, his own battles against many Pseudo-God level Dragon Beasts indeed yielded significant improvement.


    Every Pseudo-God has different comprehended Laws, cultivates different Absolute Secret Skills, and even their fighting methods evolved differently.

 Chapter 17: 15 The Goal of 860 Points

    Li Yuan''s heart raced as he listened.


    To break into the top ten, one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins for a First Rank scholarship?


    Top five, five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins for a Special Scholarship?


    It was Blue Star Coins!


    Li Yuan remembered correctly, his aunt, a middle school teacher, made about one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins a year.


    Like his uncle, if he chose not to be stationed in some dangerous places, he''d make a few hundred thousand Blue Star Coins a year.


    "Teacher, really?" Li Yuan asked subconsciously.


    It wasn''t strange for Li Yuan to react this way.


    Even though he was mature and had a good temperament,


    he was still only a seventeen year old boy. To him, one hundred thousand Blue Star Coins was already a significant fortune.


    "Would I lie to you?"


    Xu Bo''s voice was still cold, "The rewards are certainly real, but forget about the top five in the grade, can your Martial Path results break into the top ten in the January mock exams?"


    Li Yuan calmed down as well.


    Yes, no matter how good the rewards were, it had to be in his hands to count.


    If it was the top twenty in the grade, Li Yuan still saw some hope, but the top ten? The chances were indeed very slim.


    The most important reason was Martial Spirit... Students who had awakened their Spiritual Nature enjoyed a 10% bonus to their Martial Path scores, a significant advantage.


    If Li Yuan scored 900, a student from the Elite Class only needed 820 raw points to surpass him.


    "Getting into the top ten is indeed difficult, but you still have some hope."


    "Besides, I''ve also worked hard with the principal on your behalf. Even if you can''t make the top ten, as long as your raw score is second in the grade," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan, "we will still give you some aid, it''s just that, of course, it won''t be as good as the scholarship."


    "Raw score, second in the grade?" Hope flared up in Li Yuan''s heart again.


    Last semester, his raw score was already sixth in the grade.


    The second in raw score? The chances were actually greater than being in the top ten in total score.


    "Thank you, teacher." Li Yuan expressed his gratitude sincerely, feeling that teacher Xu Bo, though seemingly cold, was actually warmhearted on the inside and treated him very well.


    "It''s late, go home and rest."


    "When you come to school tomorrow, you will have access to the Independent Martial Arts Room. I''ll send you the specific room number tomorrow," Xu Bo waved his hand.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded and left the office.


    And closed the door behind him.


    Listening to the faint footsteps of Li Yuan as he walked away, a smile cracked on Xu Bo''s cold face, "He who strives for the utmost reaches the middle, he who strives for the middle reaches the bottom, and he who strives for the bottom achieves nothing."


    "Kid, don''t blame me when you find out the truth."


    Having observed Li Yuan for a long time, Xu Bo knew he was steady in temperament and worked hard in his cultivation.


    But Xu Bo knew human nature even better, that a certain amount of pressure and temptation was needed to bring out even greater motivation.


    Simply put¡ª dangling a carrot!


    The carrot just couldn''t be hung too high, or else it would lead to discouragement if unreachable. Therefore, Xu Bo set another goal for Li Yuan, ''second in raw score''.


    "Three goals."


    "Kid, as long as you reach the medium goal, you''ll be effectively reaching the high one," Xu Bo thought silently, "I hope you don''t disappoint me."


    Out of the two thousand students in this cohort, Li Yuan was the second one to catch his eye.


    ...


    Muhua Platinum Mansion, Building Two.


    "Muhua, we need to spend twenty thousand Blue Star Coins this month?" Li Yuan was in his room.


    He felt a heavy weight in his heart.


    Although Aunt Chen Hui had avoided Li Yuan earlier and quietly talked with his younger brother Li Muhua in the master bedroom, deliberately trying not to let him overhear... Li Yuan''s hearing was too good now.


    Standing in the living room, he still overheard a little.


    "I need at least thirty thousand a month, Muhua also needs about the same, and Qian Qian will need nearly twenty thousand. Add up the daily expenses..." Li Yuan had counted this sum countless times in his heart.


    The household expenses amounted to at least ninety thousand Blue Star Coins a month.


    In reality, the three children could have been supported without practicing the Martial Path, based on the condition of his aunt and uncle... but the expense of purchasing various supplements and potions to assist Martial Path cultivation was staggeringly high.


    "Moreover, Qian Qian and Muhua aren''t like me."


    "I have awakened the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the ''Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture'' provides relaxation and healing effects on the body, which can probably match the effects of high-level therapy that costs tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins a month," Li Yuan was very clear about this, "While for Qian Qian and especially Muhua,"


    "if they want to achieve great success in the Martial Path, the resources currently invested are not enough."


    "This scholarship comes with a hundred thousand Blue Star Coins."


    "By the weekend, I must surge to five hundred points in the Gold Stage, then grab another fifty thousand Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan resolved quietly.


    As for the three promises made by the teacher Xu Bo?


    On the electric train ride home, Li Yuan calmed down and had thoroughly thought it through.


    "Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins!"


    "If I could get them, the financial pressure on my family would be relieved by a large extent at once."


    "But, top five in my grade?" Li Yuan thought about it and his heart sank to the bottom.


    On the way home. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Using his smart wristband, Li Yuan reviewed the final exam rankings of the second year once again.


    His overall Martial Spirit score was 802 points, ranked sixth in the grade by raw score and twenty-ninth by total score.


    The students in the top five of the grade were all from the Elite Class. Their raw scores alone were over 800 points, and with additional points... the total score of the top one even reached an astonishing 962.5 points!


    "The top one in the grade is too strong; there''s no hope for me."


    "Without an awakened Martial Spirit, my raw score is my total score."


    "To break into the top five of the grade, my raw score must at least reach 860 points to have a sliver of hope," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Even for the top ten, a raw score of around 840 points is nearly necessary."


    A raw score of 840 points.


    In the final exams of the second year, that would have already been the second-highest raw score in the grade.


    "Work hard."


    "By the January mock exams, strive to get over 410 points in Physical Quality, strive to get over 375 points in Martial Arts Skills, and strive to get over 75 points in academics," Li Yuan set three individual subject goals for himself.


    All of them must be met.


    Only then would there be a faint hope of reaching the top five in the grade.


    ...


    In the master bedroom, Chen Hui was having a video call with Li Changzhou.


    "Wife, did you receive the money?" Li Changzhou''s face looked even darker.


    "Mhm."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll plan everything at home," Aunt Chen Hui nodded, "With these five hundred thousand, plus what we had before, it should be enough until next year around February or March."


    "Mm-hmm," Li Changzhou smiled and said, "Wife, don''t worry too much. There will be a subsidy from the company at the end of the year, and there''s my salary... life will be easier after Xiaoyuan''s college entrance exams."


    Chen Hui nodded and tried to smile lightly to appear relaxed.


    Suddenly.


    "Buzz~" The other end of the video call shook violently; Li Changzhou, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up.


    "Clang~" In the video, a door that was ajar got knocked open, and faint yet massive explosion sounds could be heard from outside.


    "Manager Li, hurry! Quick!" A worker clad in a uniform smeared with dirt rushed in frantically and said urgently, "The higher-ups told our team to end our break and go up immediately."


    "Alright."


    Li Changzhou nodded repeatedly and turned to Chen Hui on this end of the video, saying, "Wife, I need to work overtime. I''ll call you back later."


    Buzz¡ª¡ªThe video call ended.


    "Old Li." Chen Hui''s face showed a trace of worry, immediately shutting off the smart wristband.


    Closing her eyes.


    When she reopened them, Chen Hui''s face had regained its relaxed expression, and she stepped out of the master bedroom, "Qian Qian, Xiaohua, you two should go to sleep."


    "Xiaoyuan, don''t stay up too late either."


    "Okay, mom!"


    "Got it, aunt."


    ...


    The following day at noon.


    In the school cafeteria, students were eating their lunch, occasionally glancing up at the news on the large electronic screen.


    "...Last night, the ''Second Level Star Realm Rob Sea'' in the Northern Border Province erupted in intense conflict once more, our national defense forces, and the alliance support armies were fearless and brave¡­" the news kept playing.


    "It''s always fighting."


    "There hasn''t been any let-up recently, I''ve heard that many people have died; some Star Realm Creatures even broke through the defense lines."


    "I hope they can hold on." The students spoke quietly among themselves while eating.


    Li Yuan sat next to Zhou Qi, silent, only glancing occasionally at the news, a flicker of worry passing through his eyes.

 Chapter 18: 16: Independent Martial Arts Room (Requesting Monthly Votes for Third Update)

    This past half-month.


    Li Yuan, aside from diligently practicing his cultivation, had been closely following the war in Northern Border Province.


    After all, his uncle was constructing defense facilities in Northern Border Province.


    According to the news, the human allied forces were winning victory after victory, each time with great success, causing significant casualties among the Star Realm Creatures.


    However, Li Yuan keenly sensed that something was amiss.


    "Battle reports can deceive, but the front line won''t," Li Yuan murmured as he ate, glancing at the news playing on the electronic screen.


    "Based on past experiences, if our human civilization truly had the advantage, then after facing the first wave of attacks, we would quickly organize a large army and Martial Artists to infiltrate deep into the heart of the Star Realm..." Though Li Yuan''s science grades were average, his humanities grades were quite good.


    He was particularly adept at both history and geography.


    Especially modern history.


    "The war in the Rob Sea Star Realm, it''s been half a month, and it seems like the front line has been stuck in a tug of war at the several major entrances to the Star Realm," Li Yuan said, worry filling his eyes.


    What does that indicate?


    The human allied forces have been unable to push back!


    The war, it must be very fierce.


    "I hope my uncle can come back safely," Li Yuan thought to himself. These days, his uncle would occasionally call or send messages, telling him not to worry.


    Sigh!


    "Old Zhou, Yan Zhou, I''ve finished eating¡ªI''m heading out first," Li Yuan said, picking up his meal box and preparing to walk toward the collection table.


    "Brother Yuan, wait for us¡ªwe''re about to finish, too," Zhou Qi called out. "Let''s go to the Martial Arts Room together."


    "I''m heading to the Elite Building, it''s not on the way," Li Yuan said softly.


    The Guan Mountain District''s top high school covered a vast area, with the teaching buildings divided into four types: the Cultural Building, Martial Hall, Office Building, and Elite Building.


    The so-called Elite Building consisted of three extra-large Martial Arts Rooms and dozens of independent Martial Arts Rooms.


    It was specifically for the use of students from the three Elite Classes ranging from freshman to senior year.


    In total, there were less than two hundred students.


    "Going to the Elite Building?" Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou were caught off guard for a moment.


    "Looking for someone? Wan Xiao?" Yan Zhou asked, puzzled.


    "From now on, I''ll be training there," Li Yuan pondered before saying: "The school approved an independent Martial Arts Room for me. I''ll practice there during Martial Arts self-study from now on."


    Martial Arts classes only happened every other day for their class.


    The scholarship, if the school didn''t publicize it, no one would know¡ªLi Yuan wasn''t about to invite envy by revealing it.


    But an independent Martial Arts Room? It was there for all to see; it was bound to spread sooner or later, so Li Yuan decided to just tell them upfront.


    "An independent Martial Arts Room? Holy shit!"


    "Is it Brother Yuan''s?"


    "Definitely approved by Teacher Xu!"


    "Brother Yuan is awesome!" Yan Zhou, Zhou Qi, and the rest of the dozen or so boys exploded with excitement, shouting fervently.


    This immediately drew the attention of many other students around them.


    "Keep it down, I''m only telling you guys¡ªdon''t spread the word," Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    "Understood."


    "Brother Yuan, we want to check it out; I''ve never been inside an independent Martial Arts Room before."


    "An independent Martial Arts Room, I''ve never even dared to dream of that," the boys lowered their voices, but their curiosity remained.


    They didn''t envy Li Yuan; even if a few of them had thoughts, they weren''t foolish enough to show it.


    After all, their group of more than a dozen boys had Li Yuan as their implicit leader.


    Moreover, they all knew that Li Yuan''s Martial Path grades were excellent, with his bare score already ranked in the top ten of their grade. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I haven''t been there either," more people shouted.


    "Alright, I''ll take you guys sometime in the future," Li Yuan said with a smile. "But not today, it''s my first time going, and I need to get familiar with it."


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    ...


    The Elite Building and the senior year Martial Hall were separated by a small playground, and one had to cross the Office Building to get there¡ªit was relatively independent.


    As a result, the area was very quiet.


    Tree-lined roads flanked both sides, with a gentle breeze blowing, quite refreshing.


    "The Elite Building," Li Yuan quickly arrived at the bottom of the grand building, glancing around, noting the rather classic decoration.


    In front of the building stood a statue of a person.


    "Dongfang Ji." Li Yuan recognized the statue.


    The first strongest of human civilization, the strongest in Xia Country, founder of the Starfire Martial Hall... he was also the first extraordinary martial artist to walk out alive from the center of a nuclear explosion.


    He was the idol Li Yuan admired most.


    "The Martial Path is me." As Li Yuan approached the statue, he saw the famous quote engraved beneath it.


    At one o''clock in the afternoon, it was time to return to the martial arts classroom for self-study practice, so there were quite a few students coming and going.


    However, nobody paid much attention to Li Yuan.


    First-year students thought Li Yuan was in second or third year, while third-year students thought he was a second-year student.


    Perhaps, Li Yuan had a little fame in the third year, but it was limited to being ''famous by name''.


    Apart from his classmates, students from other classes rarely recognized him.


    Suddenly.


    "Li Yuan." A voice tinged with surprise called out, and Li Yuan turned his head to look.


    A burly figure resembling a bear, dressed in martial arts attire, walked up the steps.


    "Wan Xiao, long time no see," Li Yuan said with a smile, waving his hand.


    The person who came was none other than Wan Xiao, who, after awakening his Martial Spirit, had transferred to study in the Elite Class.


    "It''s been a long time indeed," Wan Xiao said with a smile.


    Although they were in the same school, being in different classes made it very difficult to encounter each other.


    "How''s the Elite Class?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    "Not bad," Wan Xiao nodded. "The high-rank cultivation methods are indeed extraordinary, everyone in the class is very skilled, and sparring with each other has great effects..."


    "You''ll have to work hard, don''t let me surpass you in the next exam," Wan Xiao said half-jokingly.


    "I''m waiting for it," Li Yuan said with a smile. Their relationship was good, and he didn''t take it as a provocation.


    "By the way, I haven''t asked you yet, what are you doing at the Elite Building?" Wan Xiao asked, puzzled. "Looking for someone?"


    "Looking for a classroom," Li Yuan replied with a smile. "How do I get to Martial Arts Room 4011?"


    "4011?" Wan Xiao was startled. "The fourth floor? That''s a senior-year independent martial arts room, but room 11 hasn''t been open, has it? There''s nobody there."


    "There''s nobody yet." Li Yuan said with a smile. "Once I arrive, there will be."


    Wan Xiao''s pupils narrowed. He wasn''t stupid and couldn''t help saying, "Your independent martial arts room?"


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, "It''s my first time here, so you can show me the way."


    ...


    On the fourth floor, in front of the independent Martial Arts Room 4011.


    Watching Li Yuan open the door to the martial arts room with ''face recognition,'' Wan Xiao finally believed what Li Yuan had said was true.


    His face still couldn''t hide his shock.


    "Impressive, was it granted by Instructor Xu?" Wan Xiao said, standing at the entrance to the martial arts room.


    Li Yuan simply smiled.


    "That''s right," Wan Xiao continued, "Aside from not awakening your Martial Spirit, based on raw scores, you indeed qualify to be here."


    Deep down, Wan Xiao truly admired Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan stood inside the martial arts room, looking around. The room was about one hundred and fifty square meters and very clean.


    He drew open the curtains.


    Sunlight poured in, making the room bright.


    Fist strength testing area, life vitality detector, projector, camera... even a virtual network pod.


    Except for the space issue not having a speed test track, the room had all the technological equipment one could ask for.


    "Starting today, this is my independent martial arts room?" There was a trace of joy in Li Yuan''s eyes.


    With an independent martial arts room, there would be no disturbances, and naturally, his training efficiency would be higher.


    Wan Xiao stood at the door of the martial arts room with a hint of envy in his eyes.


    An independent martial arts room? He actually didn''t care about it!


    His family''s martial arts room was not inferior to the school''s independent martial arts room.


    What Wan Xiao cared about was the honor that came with it.


    Suddenly.


    "Wan Xiao, what are you doing here? Who let you open the door to Martial Arts Room 4011?" An icy voice echoed down the corridor.

 Chapter 19: 17 Bets Protected by Law

    "It wasn''t me who opened it," Wan Xiao quickly waved his hand.


    The soundproofing of the Martial Arts Room was excellent, but with the door wide open, plus Li Yuan''s sharp ears, he naturally heard the voice that had come through.


    He couldn''t help but turn his head to look.


    He saw a youth in a black martial outfit, well-proportioned, and with a buzz cut, who took a few quick steps and arrived at the entrance of Martial Arts Room 4011.


    The youth was half a head shorter than Wan Xiao, about the same height as Li Yuan, and had a rather delicate-looking face.


    "Wan Xiao, how could you jump out the window... Eh! How come this Martial Arts Room now has an owner?" The youth was about to speak when he noticed the green sign on the door of the Martial Arts Room.


    There are three types of signs at these Martial Arts Rooms'' doors, indicating different statuses¡ªoccupied, empty, or invaded.


    A green sign signifies that it was opened normally by the owner.


    "4011 wasn''t empty... Who are you? How do you have access to 4011?" For the first time, the youth noticed Li Yuan inside the Martial Arts Room and looked at him with a puzzled face.


    The youth wasn''t stupid.


    He had thought that Wan Xiao had opened the Martial Arts Room by jumping through the window.


    But from Wan Xiao''s words, coupled with the green sign at the door, he instantly deduced¡ªLi Yuan was the owner of the Martial Arts Room.


    "Wan Xiao, aren''t you going to introduce us?" said Li Yuan with a smile.


    He could tell that the youth harbored no ill will; he was simply straightforward and unsophisticated.


    "That''s Gu Qianghan from Class One, Year Three." Wan Xiao laughingly introduced the youth: "Nickname ''Not-So-Strong''."


    Class one of every grade level is the Elite Class.


    "Wan Xiao, I''m telling you again, call me Gu Qiang, and if you call me by my full name next time, I''m really going to lose it," the youth said with displeasure.


    Wan Xiao just laughed it off and didn''t pay any mind, then pointed at Li Yuan and said, "Gu Qiang, didn''t you keep talking about Li Yuan after Teacher Xu''s class the other day? Look, this is Li Yuan."


    The youth, who was previously unhappy, instantly brightened up and stared at Li Yuan: "You''re the Li Yuan that Teacher Xu Bo mentioned, the one with the extremely impressive spear technique?"


    "Uh, an impressive spear technique?" Li Yuan said with a smile: "I wouldn''t say my spear technique is that impressive, but if Teacher Xu Bo was referring to Li Yuan from Class Two, Year Three, then it must be me."


    Li Yuan already knew who the youth was.


    When checking the end-of-term rankings for the second year, he naturally took notice of the top ten students from the previous grades.


    Gu Qianghan was indeed the third in martial arts performance at the end of the second year.


    However, his appearance was a bit unexpected for Li Yuan, having a delicacy that didn''t quite match his name.


    "If Teacher Xu says you''re good, then it must be true," said Gu Qianghan, his eyes shining: "I checked, and at the end of last semester, your score in Martial Arts Skills was the highest in the whole grade."


    "Mhm," Li Yuan looked at the youth with interest.


    "I want to challenge you," stated Gu Qianghan, excitedly fixing his gaze on Li Yuan, eager to try.


    "Li Yuan, don''t underestimate him."


    "This guy is quite crafty. When I first got to the Elite Class, I was fooled by his looks," Wan Xiao hastily added.


    "What do you mean fooled by me, I didn''t ambush you, I challenged you fair and square," Gu Qianghan said with disdain: "You look like a bear but couldn''t even take ten punches from me, and you still have the nerve to say that."


    Wan Xiao was taken aback.


    And was left speechless.


    When he first arrived in the Elite Class, he encountered Gu Qianghan challenging him. Misled by the other''s delicate features and assuming he was easy to bully, he ended up... suffering a terrible defeat.


    "Ten punches?" Li Yuan nodded slightly, not surprised.


    Just based on the end-of-year results in the second year, Gu Qianghan''s raw score was even higher than his own, so defeating Wan Xiao was normal.


    "How about it?" Gu Qianghan fixed his eyes on Li Yuan: "We''ll fight in full armor. I want to test your spear technique.


    Gu Qianghan''s eyes shone with a fighting spirit.


    Li Yuan just smiled.


    From the conversation between the two just now, Li Yuan had guessed the reason why the other wanted to challenge him.


    Probably, Teacher Xu had used his spear technique as an example in the Elite Class and made some unflattering remarks.


    For instance, "You call yourselves the Elite Class? I don''t see any of you living up to Li Yuan from Class Two, Year Three."


    "A Li Yuan who hasn''t even awakened his Martial Spirit, his spear technique alone is enough to take all of you down." S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Using students from other classes as examples to suppress students from the class they are teaching is a common tactic used by many teachers.


    Similarly, it has inadvertently drawn a lot of animosity toward Li Yuan in the Elite Class.


    "Li Yuan, if you are a Martial Artist, then accept my challenge," Gu Qianghan looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan looked at Wan Xiao with an odd expression, it had been a long time since he had heard such a melodramatic phrase.


    Wan Xiao spread his hands as if to say ''he has always been this melodramatic''.


    "I do not accept," Li Yuan shook his head.


    Gu Qianghan''s eyes widened: "Li Yuan, do you lack the spirit of a Martial Artist?"


    "I''m not even a Martial Artist yet, so naturally, I don''t have the spirit of one," Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Gu Qianghan.


    "Alright, this is my Martial Arts Room. I''m going to start training," he declared.


    In fact, Li Yuan''s refusal to fight was not because he was scared of the opponent.


    It was meaningless and carried risks.


    Sparring with Teacher Xu Bo was different¡ªthe teacher''s strength greatly surpassed that of the students, able to control the entire scene, ensuring no one would get hurt.


    But when two students with similar strengths sparred using cold weapons, it was impossible to fully control endangering oneself.


    Even fully armored and using dull cold weapons, one could easily suffer serious injuries or even death.


    Such incidents were not uncommon.


    Li Yuan was not willing to risk any danger for a cause that had no benefits.


    "You..." Gu Qianghan was about to speak again.


    "Gu Qianghan, who gave you the audacity to engage in a private duel?" A stern voice suddenly came from outside the door.


    Gu Qianghan''s expression stiffened, and instead of getting angry at being called by his full name, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.


    "Sis¡ª" Gu Qianghan suddenly turned around, placing his hand on Li Yuan''s shoulder, his face now filled with a smile: "I was just joking with Li Yuan, right, Li Yuan?"


    Li Yuan was momentarily stunned, somewhat caught off guard.


    Wan Xiao shrugged, indicating that this was nothing new to him.


    Gu Qianghan shook Li Yuan''s shoulder vigorously, frantically gesturing to Li Yuan with his eyes.


    But Li Yuan stood his ground, immovable as a rock, his gaze had already fallen on the figure at the door.


    A girl roughly seventeen or eighteen, wearing a crimson tight-fitting martial arts uniform, her face delicate yet strong, with bright eyes and white teeth, her brows and eyes exuding a sharp and resolute temperament.


    Her jet-black hair was swept up high behind her head, giving her an especially capable appearance.


    However, the most eye-catching thing was the fiery red longsword hanging at her waist.


    "Hello, Li Yuan, I am Lin Lanyue from Senior Class 3 (1)." The girl also looked at Li Yuan and took the initiative to say, "I apologize on behalf of my brother for his crazy streak; I hope you won''t mind it."


    "I''m fine," Li Yuan said with a handshake and a smile.


    The girl nodded, her gaze becoming sharp again as she turned it back to Gu Qianghan, making his scalp tingle.


    "Sis!" Gu Qianghan involuntarily removed his hand from Li Yuan''s shoulder.


    "If I catch you in a private fight again, even calling for your mom won''t save you," the girl said coldly.


    Gu Qianghan awkwardly touched his head without daring to utter a word.


    Since childhood, Gu Qianghan had always harbored an innate fear of his cousin, who was only half a year older than him.


    "It''s all trivial stuff."


    "Don''t blame him; none of us has any problems," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan instantly recognized the person before him.


    She had spoken more than once at school-wide assemblies.


    From the time she enrolled, her name had constantly been on the honor roll.


    She was the top Martial Path student in the senior year, recognized as the most likely candidate to get into Starry Sky University¡ªa martial arts prodigy¡ªLin Lanyue.


    "As long as you don''t blame him, that''s fine."


    The girl nodded, still focusing on Li Yuan: "It''s wrong for my brother to seek a private duel with you, but Teacher Xu said your martial arts skills surpass everyone in our class, and it''s not just my brother who is dissatisfied."


    "Frankly, I''m not convinced either."


    Li Yuan was startled.


    Wan Xiao was also taken aback.


    Gu Qianghan''s eyes lit up with excitement, fully aware of his cousin''s personality.


    She seemed affable on the surface, but was actually very tough at heart.


    "I would also like to learn from you and see for myself how impressive the person that Teacher Xu said has spear technique close to ''Unity''. But it won''t be a real combat," the girl set her sights on Li Yuan, "how about a match on Starry Skies Fighting Network?"


    Starry Skies Fighting Network was a virtual fight; nobody would get hurt.


    "What''s in it for me?" Li Yuan shrugged and smiled, "I never do anything without benefits."


    "Benefits?" Lin Lanyue frowned.


    "How about this, we make a bet," Li Yuan said with a smile, "If you win, I will publicly acknowledge that you have the best martial arts skills in the entire grade."


    "If I win, you give me two thousand Blue Star Coins, how does that sound?" Li Yuan smiled.


    "What kind of bet is that?" Gu Qiang scoffed, "A sure win, you''re thinking too beautifully."


    "Up to you."


    "If you don''t agree, please leave and don''t delay my training," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Fine, I agree," Lin Lanyue said, looking at Li Yuan.


    "Sis!" Gu Qiang was astonished.


    "Shut up," Lin Lanyue frowned.


    "Let''s make it next Sunday afternoon at two, how about that?" Li Yuan said with a smile, "Let''s add each other as V friends first, then I''ll send you my account name."


    "Fine."


    Soon, they became virtual network friends.


    "Gu Qiang, let''s go," Lin Lanyue turned and walked away, with Gu Qiang reluctantly following her.


    That left Li Yuan and Wan Xiao alone.


    "Li Yuan, that was a huge loss," Wan Xiao said, unable to hold back, "You don''t know, Lin Lanyue''s family is very wealthy; if you had bet five thousand or even ten thousand Blue Star Coins just now, I think she would have agreed."


    Li Yuan shook his head, "Foolish."


    "The law of Xia Country states that bets on Starry Skies Fighting Network cannot exceed two thousand Blue Star Coins for minors."


    "Any amount over two thousand Blue Star Coins is not protected by law."

 Chapter 20: 18: Starry Sky University

    "Protected by law?" Wan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, "Li Yuan, I''m impressed by you."


    "To accomplish great things, you have to study the law first," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Immediately afterward, Li Yuan shifted the topic, "Lin Lanyue and Gu Qianghan are siblings?"


    "Yeah," Wan Xiao said, "They seem to be cousins, not bearing the same surname anyway. They have a good relationship. Gu Qianghan isn''t afraid of anyone except his sister."


    "According to him, it''s because he can''t beat his sister that he''s afraid. Once he can, he definitely won''t be anymore," Wan Xiao said with a laugh, "But I feel like he will never be able to beat her in this lifetime."


    "Even if it were you in full armor combat, I reckon you wouldn''t stand a chance against Lin Lanyue," Wan Xiao said seriously.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If you say I had a bit of fame in my senior year, then Lin Lanyue was truly a household name.


    Being beautiful was just a small part.


    In the entire Guan Mountain District''s Number One High School, with thousands of students, could you not find a few beautiful girls? As a key provincial school, there was never talk of ''campus belles or beaux.''


    Most students actually don''t pay too much attention to other people in their class, let alone in other classes.


    Lin Lanyue, as the sole ''public figure,'' was mainly because of her cliff-like leading martial arts achievements.


    The absolute first.


    Since her freshman year, in every large or small test involving martial arts, she was essentially always at the top.


    At the end of her sophomore year, she scored 875 points raw, and her overall score was even more astounding at 962.5, leaving the second place trailing by more than fifty points.


    The only exception was the last martial arts skills test of her sophomore year.


    For the first time, it was taken by Li Yuan.


    "Full armor combat?" Li Yuan pondered for a moment: "What''s her Physical Quality level?"


    "It should be over 8.0 levels," Wan Xiao said, "That''s my guess, since I haven''t had any minor tests in the Elite Class since I joined."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Based on Lin Lanyue''s Physical Quality scores from last term, along with her rate of progress, you could roughly estimate... she should be between 8.0 and 8.3 levels.


    This was already terrifying.


    By the college entrance exam standards, Physical Quality has a full score of 500 points, 10.0 levels is the full mark.


    9.0 levels are 470 points.


    8.0 levels are 440 points.


    7.0 levels are 400 points.


    6.0 levels are 360 points.


    5.0 levels are 300 points.


    "At least 8.0 levels? Given her rate of improvement, by the time of the college entrance exam, her Physical Quality might have a chance to reach 9.0 levels," Li Yuan thought with a silent sigh, "No wonder everyone says she has the potential to be admitted to one of the top three martial arts universities in the world, Starry Sky University."


    "The world''s top three martial arts universities ¨C Starry Sky University, Starfire University, and Black Stone University ¨C are better than the five famous universities in Xia Country," he added.


    Li Yuan never dared to underestimate others.


    Lin Lanyue, in terms of talent, was one of the most formidable among the tens of thousands of senior students in Guan Mountain District; her family background was also excellent, and crucially, she herself was diligent enough... A true hard-working martial arts prodigy.


    "Teacher Xu in the Elite Class uses your spear technique as a benchmark," Wan Xiao said with a smile, "But he never mentioned your scores, and I haven''t leaked your last test spear technique score either. Lin Lanyue probably doesn''t know it yet."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Martial arts skills had a full score of 400 points; according to the college entrance exam standards, 320 and 360 are major thresholds, which are hard to cross.


    "To exceed 320 points, your martial arts skills should be at the Second Stage," Li Yuan silently contemplated, "To surpass 360 points, both the spear technique and movement technique should probably be at the Third Stage."


    As for what''s required for a full score? Li Yuan was not clear about that.


    Li Yuan also didn''t ask his teacher Xu Bo, so as not to give the impression that he was aiming too high prematurely.


    "In full armor combat, her Physical Quality is nearly two levels higher than yours; your chances of winning are slim," Wan Xiao said, with a hint of excitement, "But in virtual combat? Heh, I believe in your spear technique."


    "When it''s time for the Zhou Tian fight, I want to come and watch. Remember to send me the room number," Wan Xiao said.


    "Alright," Li Yuan replied with a nod.


    ...


    After seeing Wan Xiao off, Li Yuan closed the door to the Martial Arts Room.


    All became completely quiet.


    "Xiao Yu, connect via Bluetooth, take over the smart management authority of Martial Arts Room 4011, the authorization code is..." Li Yuan suddenly began speaking.


    Rapidly.


    "Master, I have taken control of the Martial Arts Room authority. I''m very pleased to serve you," a gentle female voice rang out.


    "Open the martial arts skills evaluation system."


    "Open the video analysis system," Li Yuan continued, then opened the nearby weapons cabinet.


    It was filled with a large number of weapons, among which there were six long spears, each varying in length and weight.


    Li Yuan took out the regulation long spear he used the most and placed it on the weapons rack beside him.


    Then, he began to silently practice the "Solid Rock Cultivation Technique."


    "A bet of two thousand Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan let his thoughts drift as he felt the subtle changes in his muscles and sinews, all the while pondering the events of the day.


    Li Yuan had never really taken this match to heart; he was never worried about losing.


    Losing was not shameful.


    The other was the top student of his grade, a martial arts prodigy.


    Win or lose? As long as it led to progress in his martial arts and didn''t result in any losses, what did winning or losing matter?


    "Dongfang Ji, the strongest warrior of human civilization, also lost more than once on his path to growth," Li Yuan reflected inwardly, "Martial path is my path; external things shall not disturb my inner peace."


    "Failure will just be a stepping stone on the path to growth."


    Li Yuan had read many biographies of Dongfang Ji.


    The ''Martial Path is my path'' proposed by him didn''t mean that he himself represented the martial path, but rather ''Martial Path is the way I go.''


    "As long as you devote yourself to the martial path, you needn''t care about others'' judgments, you don''t have to mind their praise or scorn," Li Yuan''s eyes were clear, "By following my own path, my heart and thoughts are the true essence of the martial path, and that is my way."


    In simple terms, walk your own path and let others talk.


    The martial path is about surpassing oneself.


    "However,"


    "College entrance examination admissions are determined by ranking, sparring with Lin Lanyue once will also let me know the current level of martial arts skills of these top senior students," Li Yuan pondered.


    ...


    In the Martial Arts Room 4001.


    "Sis, do you really want to compete with him? He doesn''t lose anything if he loses," Gu Qianghan complained from the sideline.


    "Two thousand Blue Star Coins doesn''t mean much to me," said Lin Lanyue, her voice cold and clear as beads falling on a jade plate.


    She was practicing a set of fist techniques, with each movement of her fists and palms subtly releasing a wave of air with a resonating sound.


    "It''s not about the money."


    "It''s about face," Gu Qianghan shook his head and said, "You''re the top of the grade, while he''s ranked only in the twenties. It would be so embarrassing to lose."


    "Face?"


    Lin Lanyue suddenly stopped her movements, her sharp gaze fixed on Gu Qianghan, "You practice the Martial Path for face?"


    Gu Qianghan shook his head repeatedly, "Of course not, but..." S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Shut up."


    Lin Lanyue frowned and said, "Aunt has spoiled you, you spar with people every day just to show off your strength, for face? No wonder you even dare to engage in private fights."


    "Sis, I really won''t do it again," Gu Qianghan quickly said, although in his heart he muttered to himself, ''Aren''t you also challenging someone to a duel?''


    "Don''t think I don''t know what you''re thinking."


    "I want to spar not because I want to defeat him, but because I want to see how good the spear technique that even Teacher Xu praised is," Lin Lanyue said coldly, "As for winning or losing?"


    "If I lose, will it hinder me from getting into Starry Sky University?"


    "It''s two o''clock, go back to your Martial Arts Room and cultivate," Lin Lanyue said with a frown.


    "Okay there," Gu Qianghan turned and left, unwilling to stay for another second.


    ...


    Just before the end of class, inside Martial Arts Room 4011.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has increased from 47% of the Third Stage to 48% of the Third Stage.]


    Li Yuan suddenly became aware of the notification in his field of vision and abruptly stopped his spear.


    "Improved by another one percent?"


    "Ever since I created the ''Dragon Hidden in the Gorge'' spear move, the progress of my spear technique seems to have accelerated," Li Yuan thought to himself, "However, to create the ''Myriad Mountains'' move that I''ve been conceptualizing, it''s probably going to take some more time."


    Such moves that perfectly harness the body''s strength become relatively easier to create after the first or second one.


    Until one day when every move reaches Perfection, that will be the Fourth Level Spear Technique.


    Before long.


    Li Yuan walked out of the Elite Building. Before he reached the cafeteria, he saw a crowd of students gathering from afar.


    It was Zhou Qi, Yan Zhou, and the others, seemingly having waited for a while.


    "Brother Yuan, I heard you''re going to compete with Lin Lanyue to decide who''s number one in Martial Arts Skills?"


    "No, I heard it''s to determine the real number one in the grade."


    "Huh? How come I heard that Brother Yuan was the one who challenged Lin Lanyue..."


    "I heard if Brother Yuan wins, Lin Lanyue will agree to date him..." the crowd was buzzing with various comments.


    Li Yuan: "..."


    "Stop!" Li Yuan suddenly shouted, and the surroundings immediately quieted down.


    "Who told you that?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Wan Xiao, I guess, he was the first to talk about it in the class group. Didn''t you see the group message, Brother Yuan?"


    "Anyway, it has spread," Zhou Qi said with a grin, "Brother Yuan, tell us, do you really want to pursue Lin Lanyue?"


    Everyone else was also curious.


    "There is indeed a bet," Li Yuan frowned, "But it''s just a normal spar, nothing else."


    "I''m off to eat, I still have to cultivate later," Li Yuan turned and headed for the cafeteria.


    The crowd exchanged glances.


    A normal spar?


    "If it''s a normal spar, why would Brother Yuan keep it a secret? And hurry off so quickly," Zhou Qi shook his head, "There must be something going on."


    "Hmm, I think so too."


    ...


    Weekend, 1:50 PM.


    On the virtual network of Blue Star, the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Personal challenge platform, room number 8673795.


    "369 spectators?" Li Yuan, incarnated in the virtual world with a long spear in hand, stood on the platform. He frowned upon seeing the number of spectators and the dense virtual figures filling the spectator platform displayed on the screen overhead.


    "Brother Yuan, good luck, take down Lin Lanyue."


    "Brother Yuan, smash her."


    "Class Senior Third Year (2), Brother Yuan is the strongest."


    "Lin Lanyue, beat Li Yuan to a pulp!"


    "Li Yuan looks so arrogant, he''s asking for a beating."


    "I think he''s pretty handsome, even more than both my boyfriends." Various messy comments were spreading from the spectator platform.


    In the virtual world, people''s speech and behavior tend to be more unrestrained than in reality.


    Li Yuan didn''t understand why a simple virtual fight had turned into this situation.


    But now, Li Yuan just felt that the high realism of the virtual network might not be such a good thing after all.


    "Li Yuan, prepare yourself," Lin Lanyue stood at the other end of the platform, holding a long sword.


    Her virtual appearance was quite similar to her real-life appearance.


    Only her hair had changed from long to short and dyed red, less solemn but more untamed.

 Chapter 21: 19 The Gold Master

    "Wan Xiao and Zhou Qi, they all have big mouths." Li Yuan felt quite helpless in his heart.


    On the day he and Lin Lanyue arranged their duel, the news spread throughout the entire senior year before night self-study even began.


    Lin Lanyue was a celebrity, and Li Yuan also had some reputation.


    There were all sorts of rumors.


    The most important reason was that Lin Lanyue had never challenged another student to a duel in recent years, and Li Yuan was the first.


    At first, Li Yuan held the idea that ''the clean do not need justification,'' and couldn''t be bothered to pay attention, but later on he realized how naive he was.


    Today, over 300 people have come to the Starry Skies Fighting Network to watch their battle, and they were mostly classmates.


    And the number was steadily approaching 400.


    This was already an astonishing number, considering it was just a personal duel, and no one was live streaming it.


    "Brother Yuan, see how awesome I am? I brought the whole class to cheer for you!" Zhou Qi, with his blonde spiky hair and leather pants, waved and shouted from the spectator stands.


    The virtual network''s 70% realism made the entire ring and its surroundings nearly identical to reality, with hundreds of people gathered around the ring creating a bustling scene.


    "Keep it up."


    "Brother Yuan, your long spear must be hungry for action by now."


    The noisy voices all around, many people also took out banners and glow sticks, all of which were props provided for free by the system.


    Quite a few were supporters of Li Yuan.


    But most of the audience was still rooting for Lin Lanyue. Good grades, pretty, very popular¡­ mainly among the boys.


    The boys were mostly quite loyal, only liking pretty eighteen-year-old girls.


    Even more so since Lin Lanyue was only seventeen.


    ¡­On the ring.


    "Ready." Li Yuan''s thought moved.


    Suddenly, the lights around the ring about 30 meters in diameter changed from red to green in an instant.


    The virtual bodies of Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue disappeared instantly.


    At the same time, a huge countdown appeared above the ring: 30, 29, 28¡­


    "Both parties in the duel are below the Fallen Star Stage, so the system has set physical quality at level 8.0 for the battle."


    "You have 24 seconds left, please choose your weapon, otherwise it will be automatically selected based on your preference after time runs out."


    In the preparation space, the system''s voice echoed in Li Yuan''s ears.


    "Physical quality of level 8.0." Li Yuan felt the change in his body''s strength, already quite used to it.


    "Weapon plan number one." Li Yuan said directly.


    As an ''old bird'' who had been through over a thousand battles on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, he chose different weapon plans for different types of battles and different opponents.


    Li Yuan had set up five different weapon plans.


    "Selected weapon: Standard Long Spear number 9, length 2.3 meters, weight¡­" A large amount of data flashed before Li Yuan''s eyes.


    A 2.3 meters long spear was considered a shorter one, and Li Yuan would be at a disadvantage if he faced other long spear experts.


    An inch longer, an inch stronger.


    Since Lin Lanyue''s weapon was a sword, a spear that was too long would not be nimble enough, and thus not necessarily advantageous... it was fine to have a slightly longer weapon.


    "Even when hunting a rabbit, the lion uses all its might, not to mention the 2,000 Blue Star Coins at stake," Li Yuan mused.


    Li Yuan never wasted.


    ¡­


    The crowd around the ring was surging, with the number of spectators exceeding 400, and not all were students. There were also a few outsiders.


    For example¡ªTeacher Xu Bo, Principal Tan Zhenlong.


    "Quite a lively atmosphere."


    Principal Tan stood in a corner, wearing a hat that made him look different from his real appearance. No students could recognize him.


    "It''s lively," Xu Bo said with a smile. "Look, it''s about to start."


    Principal Tan nodded. He was brought along by Xu Bo, mainly because he had nothing else to do.


    As Lin Lanyue was the top seed of the senior year, Principal Tan naturally took some interest in her.


    On the ring.


    Countdown 3, 2, 1... swoosh! swoosh!


    Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue reappeared on either side of the ring, both in combat armor and armed with their weapons.


    The most eye-catching was the golden emblem above their heads.


    "Gold Stage?"


    "Gold experts?"


    "Both are at the Gold Stage?" Suddenly, a series of exclamations erupted from around the ring.


    "Brother Yuan reached the Gold Stage? He was still at the Silver Stage when we last played the great escape together," Zhou Qi, Wan Xiao, and the others all widened their eyes.


    "He''s been secretly leveling up without us?" Yan Zhou said, "Next time we have to get Brother Yuan to take us for a great escape."


    "Gold experts? Both of them?" Li Tianyou stood in a corner, looking at the insignias above the two on the ring, "Lanyue also reached the Gold Stage?"


    Lin Lanyue didn''t know Li Tianyou.


    But that didn''t stop Li Tianyou from falling for Lin Lanyue at first sight.


    There were quite a few senior year boys who had secret crushes on Lin Lanyue, but very few had the courage to actually confess.


    "Damn, Li Yuan is also at the Gold Stage?" Gu Qianghan stared at the emblem above Li Yuan''s head, "No wonder Teacher Xu praised Li Yuan so much."


    The revelation that both parties to the duel were at the Gold Stage instantly cranked up the atmosphere.


    "Oh? Both at the Gold Stage?" Principal Tan was also slightly surprised, "I wonder if they have reached 500 points. If so, they''re both qualified for special admission."


    "Old Tan, I told you, these two students are extraordinary," Xu Bo said with a smile. "Otherwise, why would I bring you here?"


    Let alone senior year students.


    Even many students at Martial Arts University didn''t reach the Gold Stage.


    ¡­


    "You''ve reached the Gold Stage?" Holding his long spear, Li Yuan stared at the red-haired Lin Lanyue, quite surprised.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network classifies into nine stages: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Fallen Star, Bright Moon, Sun Eclipse, Transcendent, Legendary, Martial Sage.


    For minors to reach the Gold Stage was extremely rare.


    Even many of the self-proclaimed martial arts experts who are big streamers are mostly at the Bright Moon Stage, with very few reaching Sun Eclipse Stage.


    Transcendent Stage and above? Those who reached it were already top martial artists in the real world and wouldn''t be streaming.


    At least, Li Yuan had never seen any Transcendent Stage masters when watching streams.


    He had only seen them in some combat videos.


    "Just you can break through?" Lin Lanyue asked, looking at Li Yuan with a cold voice.


    Lin Lanyue wasn''t surprised that Li Yuan had reached the Gold Stage, she had anticipated it.


    "You have animosity towards me?" Li Yuan sensed vaguely.


    The next instant.


    "Boom!" Lin Lanyue made her move.


    Her armor was also a fiery red, making her look like a blaze as she charged toward Li Yuan like lightning.


    With a physical quality of level 8.0, her burst speed reached 18 meters per second, and her standard fist strength was 800 kilograms. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And the diameter of the arena was only 30 meters.


    From initiation to closing in, Lin Lanyue could reach Li Yuan in no more than 2.2 seconds.


    "Chi~" A fiery red long sword struck at Li Yuan like lightning.


    "Rip~"


    Li Yuan cracked a smile and gripped his long spear, his body moving in an instant, fiercely thrusting forward.


    Central level thrust!


    "Clang!" The fiery red long sword collided with the long spear, and the spear trembled, deviating in direction, while the sword turned in mid-air like a viper striking back.


    "This swordsmanship."


    "It''s a bit bizarre. Its explosive power is so strong. It''s even stronger than my spear''s straight thrust. Could it be a move associated with the high-rank cultivation methods?" Li Yuan wondered in surprise.


    He had heard early on that Lin Lanyue practiced the Blazing Flame Burning Heaven Cultivation Method from among the seven high-rank cultivation methods.


    Each method is divided into many parts, such as stance-practice methods, breathing techniques, and fist techniques.


    Li Yuan had never come into contact with high-rank cultivation methods.


    But he knew it was an advancement of one of the Seven Fundamental Cultivation Methods, the Blazing Flame Cultivation Method.


    "The ''Blazing Flame Cultivation Method'' excels in attacking, and this high-rank cultivation method should be the same. Head-on attacks are not my strong suit, and her swordsmanship level is also at the third stage." Li Yuan''s spear technique changed in his hand: "I must be careful."


    The long spear was swiftly retracted, switching from attacking to placing the spear in defense.


    At the same time, Li Yuan started to move, using his movement technique to unload force.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" Sword light and spear shadow collided rapidly, striking over ten times in the blink of an eye.


    "How steady are his steps and foundation?" Lin Lanyue was also surprised: "My use of ''Sea of Fire Sinking Boat'' was actually unloaded by him with a single spear stroke."


    In Lin Lanyue''s view, Li Yuan, who was all about defense, seemed like a tortoise.


    She couldn''t break through at all.


    ...


    "So fast!"


    "How did Li Yuan block Lin Lanyue''s continuous sword attacks?"


    "Awesome!"


    "His stepping technique is so exquisite."


    "Li Yuan''s spear technique, so stable." Most of the spectators were amazed.


    They had mostly seen higher-level live duels and recorded fights.


    But subconsciously, they viewed those as martial path masters, not expecting a classmate to be so strong.


    "Do you know what it means to be the top martial arts student of the year?"


    "I always said Lin Lanyue was no match for Brother Yuan."


    "Come on, Brother Yuan, finish her."


    "Brother Yuan''s spear is always enduring!"


    "He can even block several strikes from Teacher Xu''s class. How much more so Lin Lanyue?"


    The students of class 3 (2) were excited.


    They weren''t highly skilled, but they understood a simple truth of martial arts: the longer one''s attacks are unsuccessful, the greater their energy consumption tends to be.


    "His defense is indeed good."


    "This sword technique, it should be derived from ''Sea of Fire Sinking Boat'', attacking fiercely." Principal Tan also commented, with a touch of surprise: "Li Yuan actually blocked it. His spear technique is really stable. He should have comprehended a defensive move."


    "Xu Bo, you''ve taught a good disciple," Principal Tan said with a smile.


    "Old Tan, since you said that, why don''t you quick approve his first-rank scholarship." Xu Bo said with a laugh.


    Principal Tan immediately shut his mouth.


    "Hmm?" Xu Bo smiled and said no more, continuing to watch the fight, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shook his head, saying, "Lin Lanyue has been careless."


    ...


    Above the arena, Lin Lanyue continuously unleashed her sword techniques, her attacks like relentless flames, applying constant pressure.


    "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"


    Li Yuan''s long spear, whether it was sweeping, flicking, retreating with footwork, or occasionally thrusting straight to force a retreat.


    Lin Lanyue was unable to get close.


    After mastering the technique ''Solid Rock Pillar'', Li Yuan''s focus on defense had the essence of an immoveable mountain.


    "The fifty-seventh sword," Li Yuan silently counted in his mind: "She has been on the attack, her energy is depleting, and her sword force weakening."


    "She''s getting anxious."


    "In a fight to the death, once you become hasty, you''re prone to making mistakes, just wait."


    On the fifty-ninth sword, Li Yuan keenly captured a slight change in the threat of the opponent''s sword technique.


    The sixty-third sword.


    "Whoosh!" The sword light flared like fire, swift and fierce.


    Lin Lanyue was still launching fierce attacks, bent on breaking through Li Yuan''s defense. Her swordsmanship was sharp, but unbeknownst to her, she had somewhat relaxed her own defense.


    After all, from start to finish, Li Yuan had never gone on the offense and had been strictly defending.


    "Now is the time!" Li Yuan''s eyes suddenly shone brightly,


    "Boom!"


    Li Yuan completely disregarded Lin Lanyue''s strike, his long spear vibrating fiercely as if it were a giant dragon hidden amidst countless rocky cliffs, exploding forward with a piercing thrust.


    Spear technique killing move¡ªDragon Hidden in the Gorge!


    "Not good!" Lin Lanyue immediately realized something was amiss, feeling Li Yuan''s momentum change in an instant, as if a ferocious beast had bared its fangs.


    The force was formidable.


    "It''s too late to retreat." Realizing this, Lin Lanyue''s eyes gleamed with cold light, without any hesitation.


    Instead of retreating, she thrust her sword even more fiercely.


    "Thump!!"


    The long spear pierced through the armor, directly penetrating Lin Lanyue''s chest, blood streaming down as her body dissipated into nothingness.


    The light armor couldn''t block Li Yuan''s spear.


    "Rip!"


    The next instant, the fierce long sword also struck Li Yuan''s shoulder, blood splashing.


    "Clang~" The long sword fell to the ground.


    On the arena, only the injured Li Yuan remained.


    "The spear is longer than the sword, so I had an extra 0.1 second of reaction time." Li Yuan shook his head, then revealed a slight smile.


    "One minute, two thousand Blue Star Coins in hand."


    "What a thrill!"

 Chapter 22: 20 Rewards of the Fallen Star Rank

    "Congratulations on your duel victory, Guardian¡¤Yuan, your account has received 2000 Blue Star Coins, transferable to¡­" Li Yuan had already received the notification from the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    The stakes for both sides were agreed upon before the match, and Lin Lanyue had transferred the funds in advance.


    Therefore, as soon as he won, the money was credited to Li Yuan''s account.


    "The near-real combat, where I don''t have to worry about injury, is indeed more satisfying than solitary practice in reality," Li Yuan grinned, "It''s just a pity that it''s not 100% realistic, so it''s not as thrilling."


    In this era, why do Martial Path strongmen emerge one after another?


    The virtual network plays an irreplaceable role.


    Take the Starry Skies Fighting Network, for instance; it has many flaws, such as not being able to fully simulate real moves, with some data becoming distorted.


    Additionally, it can''t scan everyone''s real body data, so the data for the conscious body and the real body are different, and it can''t achieve a perfect fit.


    But!


    Through consciousness connection, participants can still engage in a large number of fights and moves that are difficult to experiment with continuously in reality.


    In real combat, one mistake can mean death or severe injury.


    How many real battles could martial artists of the past experience in a lifetime? Most practice alone, and it was already good if they had a few sparring partners.


    But in this era, every Martial Artist, before fighting with Star Realm Creatures in actual combat, can go through thousands, even tens of thousands of virtual battles, not only vastly improving their training efficiency.


    It also hones their mindset, courage, and skills.


    In the battle between Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue, both had reached the age of 16, hence the blood, severed limbs, and other effects were realistically simulated.


    However, since they were underage, the pain was only set to 10%.


    If it were adult competition, the pain would be at a minimum of 20%, with the highest setting being an astonishing 80%, closely resembling a life-and-death battle.


    "Starry Skies Fighting Network."


    "Essentially, it''s a real combat training camp for Martial Artists," mused Li Yuan to himself.


    Human civilization as a whole now revolves around ''war''.


    ...The battle between Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue was intense.


    It ended in less than a minute.


    After all, each random strike from their spear or sword exerted thousands of kilograms of force. Grasping just one small opening in the opponent''s defense usually resulted in a deadly blow.


    Before Li Yuan''s spear exploded forward, aside from the teacher Xu Bo, who had noticed the signs early on, many students still felt that Lin Lanyue had the upper hand.


    "Li Yuan has been retreating all along, a prolonged defense is bound to fail! Can such defense really hold up?" a boy questioned.


    "You know nothing!" Zhou Qi scoffed, "Brother Yuan is the strongest."


    Zhou Qi might not understand, but he knew that Li Yuan had the highest Martial Arts Skills scores.


    "Lin Lanyue''s attack is very aggressive. If Brother Yuan slips even the slightest, he will lose," Wan Xiao, with better observation, said, "But Brother Yuan''s defense is flawless... I feel his Spear Technique has gotten stronger than during the last test."


    "Who should I be rooting for?" Li Tianyou watched, his heart still torn.


    Then, suddenly.


    "Brother Yuan is awesome!" Zhou Qi, wearing leather pants, suddenly jumped up, punching the air wildly, overwhelmed with excitement, "He won!"


    "What?"


    "A sudden Spear Thrust? Lanyue lost?" Li Tianyou''s eyes widened, watching the scene in disbelief.


    "Damn!"


    "That''s ruthless, how could he stab her in the chest?"


    "Sister actually lost?" Gu Qiang held his breath in shock, "This Li Yuan, he really didn''t hold back at all."


    "So fast, Li Yuan is so brutal." A buzz of astonishment circulated among the Spectator Platform, as these students were all amazed.


    They had thought that even if Li Yuan were to win with a defensive counterattack, it would take dozens more moves at least.


    Nobody expected a sudden reversal at the peak of Lin Lanyue''s offensive.


    The Straight Thrust burst forth.


    Lin Lanyue''s body got pierced, even her Combat Armor was penetrated, showing the dominion of the spear.


    It was incredibly brutal.


    "Li Yuan won!"


    "So what if it''s the Elite Class? They still got knocked to the ground!"


    "Brother Yuan, number one in skill." The students of High School Year 3 Class 2 were quite excited and took pride in his victory.


    So what if it was the Elite Class? So what if you awakened your Martial Spirit? Countering and bringing down the so-called favored children of heaven is the hot-blooded tradition engraved in the bones of the people of Xia Country.


    It''s also the most enjoyable story to witness.


    "Li Yuan doesn''t show any mercy, not even to women, that''s Lin Lanyue for goodness'' sake!" Some of the boys were somewhat indignant.


    "Are you joking?"


    "Idiot, huh!"


    "Fool, in a life-and-death fight, you expect to be spared? Not enough of a lapdog yet?"


    "Flirting at a time like this?"


    "If you''re so capable, go have a match with Li Yuan."


    "To like someone is to respect her," which drew more retorts from students, "In a fight to the death with Star Realm Creatures, do you also spare the pretty ones?"


    Most of the boys came to support Lin Lanyue.


    But they wouldn''t really consider Li Yuan''s actions cruel, at most they saw him as fierce and domineering.


    When Li Yuan was victorious, they cheered just the same.


    In a fight, you have to give it your all. Carelessness and underestimating the opponent is irresponsible to oneself.


    The purpose of the fight is victory!


    This is the first lesson every student learns in Martial Path class.


    "The greatest respect you can show your enemy is to go all out to kill them. Only the person who wins and survives is worthy of talking about spirit and honor." This is a quote from Lant, the world''s second strongest fighter.


    At this moment.


    The system announced, already echoing above the challenge platform: "The moment of glory has arrived; victory belongs to ''Defender¡¤Yuan.'' His long spear was like an insurmountable barrier, successfully defending his honor and becoming the ultimate victor."


    ...


    "The challenge space will close soon, 60, 59..." Text appeared on the screen above the platform.


    Many people quickly began to leave.


    Whoosh! Lin Lanyue, who had just been eliminated, reappeared on the platform, no longer wearing her combat armor.


    She had reverted to her original attire.


    The wound on Li Yuan''s shoulder had also healed, and his weapons and armor had vanished.


    In a non-combat state, in a non-combat space, it was impossible to harm others.


    "Lin Lanyue, thank you for letting me win," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Lin Lanyue frowned slightly and said, "Your spear technique is indeed powerful; I am not your match."


    A little over ten seconds after the battle had ended.


    Lin Lanyue reviewed it right away and understood that Li Yuan''s martial arts skills really were superior. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Otherwise, her relentless assault with dozens of strikes could not have been so effortlessly blocked by the opponent, who ultimately counter-struck with a single thrust to kill her.


    This could only mean that there was indeed a gap between them.


    "But there is one thing, I hope you will explain clearly to me and the other students," Lin Lanyue said, staring at Li Yuan.


    "Explain?" Li Yuan was startled, immediately thinking of the hostility Lin Lanyue had shown at first.


    "Are you referring to what the others were saying?" Li Yuan shook his head, about to explain, "It has nothing to do with me, it''s them who..."


    Bang!!


    A figure rushed onto the platform.


    "Brother Yuan, you won today. What''s our next step?" Zhou Qi excitedly ran onto the platform.


    Li Yuan was surprised: "..."


    "It has nothing to do with you?" Lin Lanyue glanced at Li Yuan and then at Zhou Qi with a slight frown but did not say anything else.


    She left the virtual space directly.


    "Eh? Why did Lin Lanyue leave?" Zhou Qi realized belatedly, "Brother Yuan, did I ruin the mood between you two? I just got too excited, didn''t I?"


    Li Yuan was silent for three seconds before he slowly said, "Old Zhou, I want you to do something for me."


    "What is it? Just say the word, Brother Yuan," Zhou Qi said confidently.


    "Be my sparring partner."


    "Fight me in ten matches," Li Yuan said with a hint of a smile; "Otherwise, I won''t feel at ease."


    "Sparring partner?" Zhou Qi turned and tried to slip away.


    ..."He''s so cool!"


    "How come I didn''t notice this before in school?"


    "I kind of want Li Yuan to be my third boyfriend. I''ll ask him out at school tomorrow."


    "Let me have him; I only have one." A few girls were still discussing in low voices, seemingly worried others might overhear.


    The 60-second countdown ended, and the combat space closed.


    ...


    After practicing (and dominating) in three matches with Zhou Qi and Wan Xiao, Li Yuan let them go.


    He returned to his personal combat space.


    All was quiet.


    "Next, it''s time to start ranking up," Li Yuan thought, and a light screen appeared in front of him:


    Ranking Match: Gold Stage.


    Points: 112 (1000 points needed for promotion match)


    Win Rate in Stage: 52%


    Overall Historical Win Rate: 57%


    ...


    "According to the rules, underage players who reach 500 points in the Gold Stage get a reward of 50,000 Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan mused. "If I can reach the Fallen Star Stage, I''ll get a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins."


    "My birthday is in August, and it''s going to be tough to reach the Fallen Star Stage in the coming year."


    "However, with my two trump cards, there is still hope of reaching 500 points in the Gold Stage," Li Yuan said as he clicked to begin.


    Ranking match matchmaking.


    "Win a match, earn 1-12 points; lose a match, lose 1-12 points," Li Yuan recited in his mind. "The more points you get if your opponent''s rank is higher than yours and you win."


    "If your opponent''s rank is lower and you lose, you''ll lose a lot of points."


    "I hope I can make it in one go today," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Beep¡ªMatch found.


    "You are about to enter a ranking match, your opponent is in the Gold Stage (322 points), please prepare for combat," the system reminded.


    "Entering combat space, countdown starting at 10, 9..."

 Chapter 23: 21, 192 games! 496 points!

    ```


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network has over ten different multiplayer combat modes, including battle royale for a thousand players, Star Realm Survival, ranked matches, matchmaking fights, and individual duels.


    Modes like the battle royale and Star Realm Survival typically involve teams of 3-10 players, challenging not only individual strength but also teamwork, and they are extremely popular.


    Many martial arts streamers spend years in these two modes of combat.


    If they co-operate well, they can completely achieve victory against stronger opponents.


    Li Yuan, Yan Zhou, and Zhou Qi would often form teams during their leisure time only to face crushing defeats¡­


    But the true martial arts masters who aspired to push the limits of their lives and hone their martial arts skills¡­


    would focus more on ''ranked matches''.


    With exactly the same physical quality and a random combination of cold weapons¡­ the contest is about the combatants'' martial arts skills and their awareness in battle.


    The purest form of martial combat.


    Only the victor survvies.


    Since his junior year of high school, aside from practicing in reality, Li Yuan spent almost every holiday, summer vacation, and winter vacation participating in ranked matches.


    His main goal was to sharpen his own martial arts skills through these virtual duels that were close to real fights.


    ¡­In the ranked match arena, a huge platform with not a single spectator.


    Shua! Shua!


    Li Yuan and a fiery red figure appeared simultaneously on opposite sides of the platform.


    "Li Yuan?"


    "Lin Lanyue, you''re also in ranked matchmaking?" The two stared at each other, both somewhat taken aback.


    Neither expected to be matched again just two minutes after their duel had ended.


    It was extremely rare.


    Both ranked and matchmaking fights paired fighters with equivalent ranks from around the globe.


    Just how many were at the Gold Stage worldwide?


    At least ten million.


    Both fell into an uncomfortable silence, then three seconds later.


    "I''m not going to lose."


    Lin Lanyue was the first to speak, her eyes fixed on Li Yuan as she coldly said, "You may be slightly better in martial arts skills, but that doesn''t mean I''m bound to lose."


    "Mm-hmm, you''re right," Li Yuan nodded.


    42 seconds later.


    On the platform.


    "Puchi!"


    His long spear was like a dragon, as Li Yuan once again suddenly erupted, ruthlessly piercing Lin Lanyue''s chest with his fierce long spear.


    "You¡­" Lin Lanyue, enduring the intense pain of being impaled by the spear, only managed to shout one word.


    Before her entire being turned to nothingness.


    "You''ve gotten a bit smarter, refraining from rash attacks, always probing," Li Yuan retrieved his spear, gently shaking his head: "It''s just a pity, I only revealed a single flaw, and you were duped again."


    "You really want to win against me too badly."


    "The more you want to win, the easier it is to lose," Li Yuan murmured to himself: "Always keep a steady mindset."


    "Steady as an old dog, you advance unstoppable."


    At this point.


    Li Yuan had received a system notification: "Congratulations, Guardian Yuan, you''ve won this Gold Stage match, points +10!"


    "Her rank points were higher than mine."


    "So the system considers my win bonus points?" Li Yuan thought.


    Winning a fight and earning 10 points was a significant amount.


    "Continue matching," Li Yuan willed.


    ¡­


    In another private space.


    "So annoying!!"


    "Damn Li Yuan, it must have been on purpose, aargh!!"


    Alone in a space with a starry sky backdrop, the red-haired Lin Lanyue couldn''t hold back any longer, grinding her teeth as she murmured to herself: "I curse you to never find a wife in your life."


    For Lanyue, losing wasn''t something she cared about.


    She didn''t even know how many times she had lost in ranked matches.


    If it were just two simple losses to Li Yuan, she wouldn''t be so angry.


    She was prepared for the possibility of defeat when she agreed to the duel.


    What mattered was how she lost.


    Twice she had been pierced through the chest by a long spear; once might be coincidence, but twice? Still coincidence?


    "Calm down! Lin Lanyue, you need to stay calm," Lin Lanyue took a deep breath, striving to calm herself down: "In martial arts cultivation, the first thing is to remain calm, not to panic in any situation."


    Suddenly.


    Drip¡ª A communicative call.


    Seeing the name displayed on the communication projection.


    "Big Brother?" Lin Lanyue hesitated, then murmured softly, "Xiao Qing, answer the call."


    Buzz¡ªthe projection changed, revealing a young man wearing blue martial arts attire, quite handsome.


    The man''s features bore some resemblance to Lin Lanyue.


    "Little sister," said the man with a smile.


    "Big Brother," Lin Lanyue suppressed the irritation in her heart, revealing a small smile: "What made you suddenly contact me?"


    "What, I can''t get in touch with you?" the young man said with a smile.


    "Hmph!"


    Lin Lanyue couldn''t help but snort, "Big Brother, think about how long it''s been since you last got in touch with me."


    The young man smiled indulgently and said, "I heard from Xiao Qiang that you lost a duel with a classmate on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, so I came to see how you were right away."


    ```


    "G¨³ Qi¨¢ngh¨¤n, that loudmouth." Lin Lanyue frowned. "I''ll go teach him a lesson at school tomorrow."


    "Xiao Qiang is just worried about you, so he told me." The young man smiled. "As an older sister, don''t be too hard on him."


    "I know¡ª" Lin Lanyue elongated her tone.


    But in her mind, she was figuring out how to deal with Gu Qiang tomorrow at school.


    "I watched your fight video." The young man spoke seriously. "It''s normal for you to lose, aside from being at a disadvantage with weapons, that boy''s spear technique is also much higher than yours, I reckon he must be at the Third Stage Intermediate Rank."


    "Third Stage Intermediate Rank?" Lin Lanyue was slightly surprised, aware of the ranking divisions of Martial Arts Skills.


    Lin Lanyue could sense that Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Skills were higher, but she hadn''t expected him to be so much stronger than her.


    "His movement technique should also be at the Third Stage level, I fear he might have a chance to be listed in the ''Blue Star Youth Rankings''." The young man said. "That''s enough to qualify for special recruitment."


    "Blue Star Youth Rankings?" Lin Lanyue was even more astonished.


    With her family''s vision, she naturally understood the significance of this list.


    "How about his Physical Quality?" the young man asked casually.


    "So-so, I reckon just over level 6, hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit yet." Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    She had some understanding of Li Yuan''s situation.


    "Hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit?" The young man was taken aback, then shook his head. "That''s a bit of a pity."


    The young man had only asked casually, without truly caring.


    To him, whether Li Yuan was good or bad didn''t matter.


    "Little sister, your Swordsmanship should have just broken through to the Third Stage," the young man laughed. "In a normal sparring match, you''d have a hard time winning against that boy even out of a hundred attempts."


    Lin Lanyue involuntarily bit her lower lip.


    She was unwilling to accept it at heart, but she also knew her second brother''s judgment was possibly even more astute than Teacher Xu Bo''s.


    "Having such a Martial Arts Skills genius as a classmate is a good thing," the young man smiled. "It''s also a warning for you, so you won''t get overly proud thinking you''re the top of the middle school grade."


    "I wasn''t," Lin Lanyue frowned. "Second Brother, did you come to comfort me, or to lecture me?"


    "Haha, okay."


    "My mistake, I won''t scold you anymore." The young man laughed. "You focus on honing your Swordsmanship, there''s still half a year''s time, strive to break into the Blue Star Youth Rankings."


    "With that qualification, when you enter Starry Sky University, you will be given more attention, and dad can also apply to the family for more resources for you," the young man said.


    "Yeah, I know." Lin Lanyue nodded.


    She wasn''t young anymore, soon to be of age, and was very clear on how the family operated.


    When there are many children, only those who are sufficiently excellent can receive the family''s resource investment for cultivation.


    Otherwise, even upon reaching adulthood, you''d barely get fifty thousand Blue Star Coins per month for living expenses.


    Forget about anything else.


    "In two weeks, after Big Brother and I come back from the United States, we''ll come visit you specifically," the young man smiled.


    "Your matters are resolved? Is dad not coming?" Lin Lanyue was quite surprised.


    "Dad has to go to Ross Country, there are still military affairs to attend to," the young man shook his head.


    "Oh!" Lin Lanyue pursed her lips, rather disappointed.


    Before long.


    Lin Lanyue ended the call with her second brother.


    "Third Stage Intermediate Spear Technique, Third Stage movement technique?" Lin Lanyue murmured to herself: "This Li Yuan, he progresses so fast." S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She remembered very clearly.


    In freshman year, there was no mention of Li Yuan in the grade rankings; he rose suddenly in sophomore year.


    In just one year, by the end of the sophomore final exams, he had burst into the top thirty of his grade, even surpassing her in the single Martial Arts Skills score.


    In reality, losing a single top score had minimal impact on Lin Lanyue.


    But it made her take note of the name Li Yuan.


    "In that exam, I was only a few points behind in skill score, which means the gap wasn''t big." Lin Lanyue clenched her teeth. "Now, he has become so much stronger than me in Martial Arts Skills?"


    Lin Lanyue didn''t quite understand.


    She had received excellent Martial Arts education since childhood, had the guidance of a dedicated Swordsmanship teacher, and she practiced diligently... yet, she was rapidly overtaken and surpassed by him.


    "Perhaps."


    "Just as dad said, there are always some geniuses in this world." Lin Lanyue shook her head to herself. "It''s just a pity that without awakening Martial Spirit, it''s too hard to achieve great success in the Martial Path."


    She was verbally annoyed, feeling that in both bouts, Li Yuan had done it on purpose.


    But deep inside, Lin Lanyue felt some regret for Li Yuan.


    "Let''s continue."


    "Following the ''Mind Method'' dad helped me with, I can almost go through forty ranking matches at one time." Lin Lanyue resumed matchmaking.


    Ordinary people get a headache from playing video games for too long.


    The virtual fights on the Starry Skies Fighting Network are much more taxing on the spirit.


    Especially when injured or defeated, that intense pain is extremely stimulating for the mind.


    So, virtual duels can''t go on indefinitely.


    ...


    Night, nine o''clock.


    In the virtual network, Starry Skies Fighting Network, inside Li Yuan''s personal space.


    "Finally, almost there." Li Yuan took a deep breath, eyes scanning over his ranking match panel:


    Ranking Match: Gold Stage.


    Points: 496 (1000 points needed to participate in promotion matches)


    ...


    From two o''clock in the afternoon until nine at night.


    For seven hours, Li Yuan had hardly rested, fighting a total of 192 matches.


    He won 120 matches and lost 72.


    And had pushed his points from 112 to 496.


    Only one victory away from reaching 500 points.

 Chapter 24: 22 Global [4684] Name

    The ranking battle mode, with consecutive wins, would occasionally match Li Yuan with those masters above 500 points in the Gold Stage,


    but those were still the minority¡ªmost of the time, he was prioritized to match with players who had nearly the same amount of points.


    "After creating ''Hidden Dragon in the Cleft,'' my Spear Technique has greatly improved. Now, when I face the Martial Arts masters in the lower levels of the Gold Stage, my win rate has increased significantly," Li Yuan said with a hint of exhaustion but still brimming with fighting spirit.


    His points had been soaring up until now.


    "Ordinary adults, with insufficient spiritual power, would probably need to rest after six or seven battles, and can fight a maximum of twenty to thirty bouts per day at most; otherwise, they would strain their energy and affect their real-life cultivation," Li Yuan''s eyes twinkled with light.


    "But me, I can experience up to two hundred virtual battles in a single day and still maintain my peak condition."


    Why had Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Skills skyrocketed over the past year?


    Aside from his innate comprehension in Spear Technique,


    it also had an inseparable relationship with his continuously strengthening spiritual power.


    The stronger the spiritual power, the more control he has over his body during daily practice, the faster the improvement in his Spear Technique.


    Similarly, in the virtual Combat Network battles, he could fight more bouts.


    His year of virtual fights was equivalent to the training many others would accumulate over three or even five years.


    With such conditions, how could Li Yuan''s Martial Arts Skills not improve rapidly?


    "The last battle, I must win,"


    "Five thousand bucks, they''re mine," Li Yuan clicked on the option box¡ªStart Matching.


    Beep¡ªMatch Successful.


    "Entering the ranking match soon, your opponent is in the Gold Stage (499 points)¡­ Countdown 10, 9¡­"


    ...


    Inside a broadcasting room on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, the live stream title read, ''Martial Path Champion''s Road, Furiously Rushing to 500 Gold Stage Points.''


    In the broadcasting room was a young elf-dressed girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and¡­ a middle-aged commentator.


    "Brothers,"


    "Xiu''er, who is aspiring to be the Martial Path champion of South Bright City, surpassed 360 points in Martial Arts Skills during the last school Martial Path test¡­ today, she attempts to rush to 500 points in the Gold Stage,"


    The girl occasionally tossed her head, looking quite adorable as she awaited the match.


    But the middle-aged commentator was very excited.


    "Reaching 500 points in the Gold Stage, not to mention South Bright City, even in the whole of Jiangbei Province, there are still fewer than 50 people under 18 who can reach this stage¡­ Let''s see if Xiu''er can succeed in her third attempt," the middle-aged commentator quickly said.


    "Oh! Match successful!"


    "The opponent''s points are 496, another Martial Arts master aiming for the Gold Stage,"


    "In her previous two attempts today, the opponents both had over 600 points. This time, with only 496 points¡­ let''s watch with anticipation¡­ 5, 4¡­" the middle-aged man said excitedly.


    There were plenty of Martial Arts livestreamers in the Gold Stage.


    But for underage broadcasters to reach the Gold Stage was quite rare. The additional appeal of battling for the top spot in the college entrance exam, an elven young girl, attractiveness¡­ these gimmicks attracted even more attention.


    This broadcaster named "Xiu''er" was quite popular on the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    At the moment, the viewing count had already surpassed two thousand people.


    Of course, as a minor, she couldn''t broadcast alone; at least not until over 16 years old, and even then, a guardian must accompany her and there''s a time restriction on weekly broadcasts... all mandated by law.


    "This time, I should succeed,"


    "The opponent''s 496 points seem much weaker than the last two,"


    "Knock out the opponent."


    "Xiu''er has fought over 30 matches today, with a win rate of 56.6%, which is very good. I''ll tip her."


    "I''ve been watching Xiu''er''s broadcasts for two years,"


    "It''s nurturing! Raising a Martial Path champion, I''m just waiting for the day Xiu''er becomes one,"


    "She''ll definitely win," a torrent of text bullet comments, voice bullet comments, image bullet comments flashed by... along with various tips.


    Suddenly,


    Whoosh! The live broadcast scene shifted, forming a fighting arena, and a young man with a long spear appeared on the other side of the stage.


    "A young man?"


    "The opponent looks so young; could he also be a minor?"


    "Definitely an adult, this is just a virtual image. If he were also a minor, wouldn''t he be vying for the top spot in the college entrance exam too?" the audience discussed among themselves.


    ...


    On the battle stage,


    "Hm? So many people?" As soon as Li Yuan stood on the stage, he realized that the previously empty Spectator Platform suddenly filled with a massive crowd, teeming with thousands of viewers.


    "A big broadcaster?" Li Yuan glanced around, and his gaze finally rested on the elven girl holding a silver long spear twenty meters away.


    Normally in Gold Stage matching, even if you encountered a broadcaster, having a hundred spectators was considered good.


    Meeting a big broadcaster with thousands of viewers? It was the first time Li Yuan had encountered such a thing today.


    Li Yuan could completely block out the sound from the Spectator Platform and ignore the external audience... but he chose not to.


    "A broadcaster?"


    "Seems to be an underage girl broadcaster?" Li Yuan heard some of the audience''s voices, "Let''s see how strong she can be."


    In fact, Li Yuan had tried broadcasting before; he had thought about earning money through live streaming to ease his family''s financial pressures... but he soon realized.


    This industry was deeply complex.


    Unless one was a super-high-level expert in the Sun Eclipse Stage, becoming popular as a broadcaster was very difficult.


    Those who did become popular broadcasters had more than just Martial Arts Skills to thank.


    Being good at fighting did not guarantee proficiency in broadcasting.


    Making money was never simple in any field.


    Moreover, Li Yuan was very clear in his understanding that virtual battles were ultimately just an auxiliary means for honing Martial Arts Skills, and real-life cultivation was the core.


    The purpose of making money, too, was for cultivating the Martial Path.


    One should not lose sight of the essence by focusing on the superficial.


    "Xiu''er?" Li Yuan looked at the name of the elf girl, vaguely recalling having scrolled past her live broadcast videos.


    But the impression wasn''t deep; she likely wasn''t one of the top broadcasters. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hello."


    "May I take a turn with this?" asked the elf girl, holding a silver long spear with a giggly smile, quite adorable.


    Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brows.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, the elf girl moved with the speed of an 8.0-grade Physical Quality, like lightning as she charged toward Li Yuan.


    "Xiu''er starts playing dirty again."


    "Stab him!"


    "This guy must have been tricked, probably hasn''t watched Xiu''er''s livestream." The Spectator Platform erupted with numerous voices.


    "Pfft!" The silver long spear thrust straight!


    "Straight Thrust?"


    Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yuan gripped the spear with his left hand and supported it with his right, thrusting straight with a midline stance as well.


    It was as though both were using a mutually destructive move.


    But the long spear Li Yuan had chosen was nearly three meters long, about half a meter longer than his opponent''s... and Li Yuan''s character model was taller with longer arm reach.


    It was destined that Li Yuan''s spear would be the first to strike the opponent.


    An inch longer, an inch stronger.


    "Bang~"


    At the moment their spear tips crossed, the elf girl''s Silver Spear suddenly trembled, unleashing terrifying strength in an attempt to knock Li Yuan''s long spear aside... clearly, she had realized her weapon''s disadvantage.


    "Bang~"


    However, Li Yuan, as if foreseeing her move, similarly shook his long spear with equal hardness.


    Then, with a glance from the corner of his eye, he swiftly backpedaled, landing and neutralizing the impact of the force.


    "Whoosh!" A violent rush of air from the spear wind.


    The elf girl''s follow-up thrust came up empty, the spear tip just an inch from Li Yuan''s head.


    "Despite the continuous collisions, she still maintains the stability of her spear for consecutive attacks... This must be some kind of killer move," Li Yuan dodged the thrust and made a judgment, "I must be cautious."


    In a usual scrimmage, repeated impacts cause recoil that transmits through the spear, affecting the fighter, making many maneuvers difficult and requiring adjustment.


    If the opponent can attack consecutively, it indicates that the combination is very special.


    Such killer moves are those that perfectly harness Vigor, allowing for defense and attack combinations that ordinary people can''t achieve.


    "Such quick reflexes, such strong movement technique," the elf girl said, equally surprised at her pretty face.


    This combination was one of her killer moves, which often took her opponents by surprise and allowed her to resolve fights in just a few moves.


    ..."Such impressive movement technique."


    "Very steady!"


    "The common folk includes a true master."


    "Xiu''er just got outplayed," laughed many spectators on the Spectator Platform; they weren''t really concerned about winning or losing.


    ...


    "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"


    With each collision, both sides proved to be masters of Spear Technique, constantly moving at high speed and probing for opportunities.


    Each was trying to find the other''s weakness and seize the chance.


    But Li Yuan was very steady, scarcely initiating an attack, preferring not to attempt glory but to avoid fault, his defenses repeatedly blocking the elf girl''s Silver Spear.


    "Virtual combat is for honing Spear Technique, fighting one more or one fewer battle makes little difference," Li Yuan thought calmly, not in a hurry.


    But desperation gradually grew in the elf girl.


    She could hear the murmurs of the surrounding audience, many making light of her with comments like ''kind of boring,'' ''won''t you fight,'' ''charge in,'' ''just circling around,'' ''are these two putting on a play,'' ''Can you still be called Xiu''er if you can''t put on a show,'' ''Where''s all that bragging now,'' ''told you she''s not up for it''..."


    While the elf girl wanted victory, the race to 500 Points and the associated rewards, she was also looking for an impact on her livestream.


    "This guy, like a turtle."


    "If this keeps up, the fight won''t end in five minutes, probably half the spectators will leave, not waiting any longer," the elf girl gritted her teeth and took the initiative to attack.


    "Clang!" "Bang~"


    Mere moments after the spear shaft and tip collided several times, Li Yuan kept retreating while the elf girl advanced with each step.


    "Here''s my chance," the elf girl''s eyes sparkled.


    In less than ten exchanges, as Li Yuan was almost backed to the edge of the ring and the elf girl thought she was about to win.


    "Whoosh!" The normally defensive Li Yuan suddenly exploded into action, his long spear thrusting swiftly.


    "Rip~"


    The long spear tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound!


    "Not good," ''Xiu''er,'' the elf girl''s pupils contracted. Just as she thought of retreating, the spearhead pierced through her throat.


    It was simply too fast!


    The skirmish had lasted nearly two minutes, with her dominating the scene for over ninety percent of that time.


    But as she launched a continuous attack at the moment when her old strength was spent and new strength had not yet emerged, Li Yuan seized the opportunity for a decisive blow.


    "The Martial Arts livestream is popular with spectators, who will tip with gifts for entertainment, allowing one to profit."


    "Sometimes those spectators can also ignite one''s passion for battle," Li Yuan silently retrieved his spear, glancing toward the now bustling Spectator Platform nearby: "But acting on momentum can also result in being constrained and troubled by it."


    "Life-and-death battles should be pure."


    "Fighting isn''t for show, it''s about determining life and death."


    "Your Martial Arts Skills are not inferior to mine, but you didn''t focus your heart entirely on the battle," Li Yuan stared at the spot where the elf girl had vanished: "That is why you lost."


    Life-and-death battles have never been determined solely by Physical Quality or Martial Arts Skills.


    It''s also about mentality.


    Practicing the Solid Rock Cultivation Technique, Li Yuan had a frighteningly stable mentality.


    "Congratulations, Defender¡¤Yuan, you''ve won this Gold Stage match, Points +10."


    "Congratulations, Defender¡¤Yuan, you''ve reached 500 Points at the Gold Stage, eligible to claim a reward of 50,000 Blue Star Coins."


    "Congratulations, Defender¡¤Yuan, you have entered the ''Starry Sky Youth Ranking,'' placed at number [4684] globally, number [1224] in the Xia Country District, and number [47] in the Jiangbei Division, detailed rankings can be checked through the following methods..."

 Chapter 25: 23 Special Admission Qualifications

    Starry Skies Fighting Network, Personal Space.


    Li Yuan''s consciousness had just returned to his body.


    Rustle~ Countless lights and shadows converged, coalescing into the figure of a young girl dressed in a green ancient costume.


    "Guardian Yuan, congratulations on your entry into the Youth Rankings of Blue Star. Your status within the Starry Skies Fighting Network has been elevated," the girl in the green costume said with a slight smile. "From today onwards, I will be your dedicated artificial intelligence customer service in the Starry Skies Fighting Network, at your service throughout the entire process. You may name me."


    "Dedicated artificial intelligence customer service?" Li Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    AI intelligence in this era was already very advanced.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, usually only when a user had charged up a certain amount of money into the ''Starry Skies Fighting Network'' and purchased many additional services could they get their own dedicated AI customer service.


    Unexpectedly, simply being listed on this so-called Youth Rankings of Blue Star also had this benefit.


    "Xiaoyu," Li Yuan said directly. His own AI wristband was named Xiaoyu as well.


    One size fits all.


    "Xiaoyu is pleased to serve you," the girl in the green dress said with a small bow, looking very innocent.


    "I want to view the Youth Rankings of Blue Star as well as the order of the list," Li Yuan said directly.


    "Understood," the girl replied with a wave of her delicate green hand, as a light screen projection appeared before Li Yuan.


    It contained a great deal of text description, along with various videos and images.


    Li Yuan quickly understood.


    "The Youth Rankings of Blue Star are compiled by the ''Starry Skies Fighting Network.'' Anyone who reaches 500 points at the Gold Stage is eligible for entry," Li Yuan thought to himself. "According to rumors, behind the Starry Skies Fighting Network are the Seven Star Alliance, the three Great Martial Halls, and various powerful nations...


    It serves not only as a high-intensity method to hone martial artists'' martial arts skills, but also to select martial arts prodigies."


    Now it seemed, the rumors were not unfounded.


    "The Youth Rankings of Blue Star purely evaluates martial arts skills," Li Yuan nodded slightly. "That makes sense; the Starry Skies Fighting Network can easily filter candidates without expending additional resources."


    "If they were to assess both martial arts skills and scrutinize physical quality and talent... that would essentially be a college entrance examination," Li Yuan couldn''t help laughing.


    Whether it''s all of human civilization or just a single country, efforts are made to screen out talents in technology and martial arts... The college entrance exam is the most extensive and comprehensive evaluation method.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network, by contrast, is about selecting for a single criterion: martial arts skills.


    "The Youth Rankings of Blue Star cover the entire Blue Star region. The list resets every year on September 1st," Li Yuan continued to read.


    "Any youth who has not reached the age of 18 before the deadline on September 1st is eligible to enter the next year''s Youth Rankings of Blue Star."


    Li Yuan immediately realized that this so-called Youth Rankings of Blue Star did not comprise only minors.


    The oldest on the list might be nearly 19 years old.


    For example, those born on September 2nd.


    However, if they were indeed martial arts prodigies, they could reach the Gold Stage and amass 500 points at the age of 14 or 15, allowing them to be listed on the Youth Rankings of Blue Star for four or five consecutive years.


    "So by this calculation, the current list of the Youth Rankings of Blue Star hasn''t even been updated for a month?" Li Yuan thought to himself. "Less than a month, and there are already 4,684 individuals listed?"


    And that was just within the region of Blue Star.


    Looking at the civilization of the Seven Great Planets, how many must be listed?


    If one were to wait until next year, how many more would be on the list by August?


    Let alone those from Blue Star who emerged as martial arts prodigies within a year.


    "Anyone who can surge to 500 points on the Gold Stage won''t have martial arts skills inferior to mine," Li Yuan shook his head slightly. "My martial arts skills are unmatched in the Guan Mountain District''s First High School."


    "But on a global scale? It''s nothing special," Li Yuan calmed himself.


    He felt the insignificance of his own achievements.


    The world was indeed vast.


    "But every journey begins with a single step, and at least I''ve made it onto the list," Li Yuan then chuckled to himself. "In the entire Jiangbei Province, including me, there are only 47 people ¡ª probably most of them are sophomores or juniors in high school."


    In Jiangbei Province, there were over a million high school seniors.


    In terms of martial arts skills, Li Yuan had already surged to the top echelon of a million high school seniors.


    A year ago, Li Yuan would not have dared to imagine achieving such success.


    After reading through all the contents,


    "Stage rewards?" Li Yuan''s gaze fell on the last page, his eyes lighting up.


    ¡ª¡ªStage Rewards (Before turning 18):


    1. Reach 500 points at the Gold Stage, receive a reward of 50,000 Blue Star Coins.


    2. Reach the Fallen Star Stage, receive a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins.


    3. Reach the Bright Moon Stage, receive a reward of 20 million Blue Star Coins.


    ¡ª¡ªStage Rewards (Ages 18 to 30):


    1. Reach the Fallen Star Stage, receive a reward of 10,000 Blue Star Coins.


    2. Reach the Bright Moon Stage, receive a reward of 200,000 Blue Star Coins.


    3. Reach the Sun Eclipse Stage: receive a reward of 5 million Blue Star Coins.


    ...


    "It''s so extravagant," Li Yuan muttered to himself. "A reward of 20 million Blue Star Coins?"


    Twenty million! That''s what an average person would hope to earn in a hundred years of work.


    But Li Yuan had to admit, the difficulty was indeed high; to reach the Bright Moon Stage before the age of 18.


    If they surpassed 18 years of age, even if they reached the Bright Moon Stage, the reward would only be 200,000 Blue Star Coins.


    "Never mind the Bright Moon Stage, reaching the Fallen Star Stage before the age of 18 would probably be difficult too," Li Yuan shook his head, casually asking, "Xiaoyu, how many on the Youth Rankings of Blue Star have achieved the Fallen Star Stage by now?"


    "As of today, there are 44," the girl in the green dress, Xiaoyu, replied, "but the specific list cannot be disclosed."


    Li Yuan nodded.


    He had already found when attempting to view the list that he could only see general statistical data.


    But the specific names? Who had made it onto the Youth Rankings of Blue Star?


    Unable to query.


    "Perhaps, this is a form of protection," Li Yuan thought darkly. "In some sense, those who are on the list are all martial arts powerhouses of the future, though they have not yet matured."


    Though one could find a wealth of information through various countries'' school exam results, college entrance exam scores, and so on...


    But the difficulty of gathering information in either case was clearly not on the same level.


    "Rewards." Li Yuan looked at the three-stage rewards listed on the page, deep in thought.


    "Bright Moon Stage? That''s too far off, somewhat unrealistic."


    "But Fallen Star Stage?"


    "My birthday is on August 29, and I have about eleven months to hone my martial arts skills."


    "Even if I don''t reach it before the college entrance exam, it doesn''t matter, I can continue to work hard after the exam."


    "As long as I reach the Fallen Star Stage, there''s a reward of 500,000 Blue Star Coins," Li Yuan set his goal in his heart.


    He was full of anticipation, brimming with motivation.


    Because this was a goal he truly had hopes of achieving.


    As long as he reached 1000 points in the Gold Stage and then won the promotion match, he would be in the Fallen Star Stage.


    "Let''s try a few more matches," Li Yuan couldn''t help but click ''Stage Matching''.


    Six minutes later.


    "Lost!"


    "Lost!"


    "Three consecutive losses, all against experts with over 600 points, I lost them all," Li Yuan returned to his personal space, feeling somewhat helpless.


    Not only did he not gain points, but he had dropped back down to 491 points.


    Li Yuan calmed down as well.


    "It seems that 500 points is indeed a threshold. With my strength, I have a winning rate of over 80% against those under 500 points," Li Yuan reviewed today''s battles. "Facing experts with 500 points, especially those over 600 points, my chances of victory are less than 30%."


    "This means, to dominate at the Gold Stage with my martial arts skills, I''m still far off."


    To think about reaching the Fallen Star Stage without being nearly unbeatable at the Gold Stage?


    It''s practically a fool''s dream.


    The gap between each rank in the Starry Skies Fighting Network is vast, almost insurmountable.


    "Little Jade, my points fell below 500, that won''t affect my reward, right?" Li Yuan asked.


    "It won''t affect it."


    "The Blue Star Coin reward is based on your historical highest score," the girl in green said with a smile. "The 50,000 Blue Star Coin reward will be issued to your bank account after a unified review on Monday."


    "Good," Li Yuan nodded his head.


    The Starry Skies Fighting Network, as the number one game in the virtual network, is also endorsed by the authorities...trustworthy.


    "Log out," thought Li Yuan. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He left the virtual network.


    ...


    After leaving his room.


    "Bro, come and have an apple, I''ve cut it for you," his sister Li Qianqian called from the sofa.


    "Sure," Li Yuan smiled. "Watching a projection? What''s this show?"


    "Bro, it''s not a drama series; it''s a documentary, ''Exploration of the Rob Sea Star Realm,'' by our country''s first explorer who first entered the Rob Sea..." His brother Li Muhua quickly explained, reciting the details like it was precious knowledge.


    "Oh?" Li Yuan nodded, sat down, and watched the documentary with his brother and sister while eating apples.


    The interior of the Star Realm is very unique; many technological devices fail to function.


    Added to that, numerous Star Realm Creatures roam freely, putting one in constant danger... Over the decades, human civilization has been fighting, but there is not much footage about the depths of the Star Realm.


    "These explorers are all martial artists, huh? They leap up cliffs tens of meters high as if it were nothing," Li Muhua couldn''t help but say.


    "Without the strength of a martial artist, who would dare to venture into the Star Realm? Isn''t that suicide?" Li Yuan laughed. "Moreover, they are not ordinary martial artists."


    At the very least, their physical quality must exceed level 20!


    ...


    After watching the documentary for half an hour, their aunt came out of the master bedroom and urged everyone to go to bed.


    After washing up, Li Yuan returned to his room.


    He was in no rush to tell his aunt about reaching 500 points in the Gold Stage.


    "I''ll wait until both sums of money are truly in my account," Li Yuan stood barefoot in the room.


    "I''ve spent the entire day in the virtual network."


    "Can''t neglect the Basic Cultivation Method."


    "Two hours of ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique'' first, then the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture''," Li Yuan quickly made a decision.


    For Li Yuan, having a snack with his brother and sister and watching a projection show was already a rare relaxation.


    Martial Arts Cultivation had no shortcuts.


    It''s about daily accumulation.


    ...


    Late at night.


    When Li Yuan got up at three in the morning and quietly left home to rush to school.


    In Jiangbei Province, at the Martial Arts Hall.


    The smart system and the duty personnel had already received an unremarkable file pending review.


    "Blue Star Youth List 2042-2043 period, entry number [4684], name ''Li Yuan,'' place of residence ''Guan Mountain District, Jiang City, Jiangbei Province''... Please conduct a comprehensive assessment of this individual within 10 days to confirm whether he qualifies for the special recruitment of Martial Artist Students."

 Chapter 26: 24: Arrived! Joy!

    ```


    At eight in the morning, at Guan Mountain District''s Number One High School.


    Li Yuan was frowning, twirling his pen while working on the math test paper in front of him, feeling waves of headache, derivatives, limits, continuity, indefinite integrals, linear transformations... College content from over a century ago, now they had all become high school math exam topics.


    People in this era are much stronger physically, and their learning efficiency is higher, so exam difficulty has increased as well.


    "Math is really difficult."


    "Memorizing history and biology is way easier than this," Li Yuan muttered to himself, yet he was seriously working on these math problems.


    Since his junior year, Li Yuan''s spiritual power had been continuously improving, which significantly increased his thinking speed and memory... As a result, even though he only spent four hours a day on his academic studies, his grades were still not left behind by his classmates.


    Even among the whole grade, his academic performance had improved.


    Keep in mind, Guan Mountain District''s Number One High School is a key school, and an average student there would be considered a top student in some regular high schools.


    However, this was also approaching the limit of Li Yuan''s academic study potential.


    An increase in memory greatly improved Li Yuan''s performance in subjects like language, history, and biology, which require a lot of rote memorization... But subjects like math and physics were difficult.


    Unfortunately, in the current college entrance examination, math and physics are the subjects with the highest score weighting.


    "I must study hard and try to get full basic scores in math, physics, and chemistry." Li Yuan resolved.


    Just then.


    Buzz~


    Li Yuan''s smart ring vibrated twice in quick succession.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lighting up.


    "Your account ending in 1486 has received 50,000.00 Blue Star Coins... transferred into account ending with... balance 83,124.64 Blue Star Coins."


    "Your account ending in 1486 has received 50,000.00 Blue Star Coins... transferred into account ending with... balance 133,124.64 Blue Star Coins."


    Two sums of money, fifty thousand was a reward from the Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    Another fifty thousand was an award for a Second Class scholarship.


    "Good!" Li Yuan couldn''t help but clench his fists; if it weren''t for being in class, he would probably have jumped up in excitement.


    100,000 Blue Star Coins!


    From childhood till now, Li Yuan was receiving such a large sum of money for the first time.


    Most importantly, in a way, this was a reward gained through his own efforts.


    It''s fundamentally different from what his uncle and aunt gave him.


    Just like many people remember receiving their first paycheck after growing up and starting work, even if they later obtained ten times, a hundred times more wealth... it couldn''t replace the significance of that first paycheck.


    The first time is always special.


    "Brother Yuan, what''s up? You seem so happy? Did you solve a big problem?" Yan Zhou, who was sitting beside, glanced at his own test paper and whispered, "Let me see."


    "No."


    Li Yuan calmed down, subconsciously glanced up in the direction of the teacher to see if the teacher had noticed him, "I only answer the first question every time."


    Suddenly.


    "Some students, don''t think the teacher can''t see you, it just that I don''t want to call out your name," a cold voice sounded, "Do it yourself! Can you cheat like this during the college entrance exams?"


    Li Yuan and Yan Zhou both lowered their heads and closed their mouths at the same time.


    ...


    At nine in the morning, in the principal''s office.


    The principal, Tan Zhenlong, who was working, suddenly looked up at a flickering light screen projection not far away.


    "Master, it''s the ''Director Wang'' from the Education Bureau," a gentle voice rang out.


    "Number Nine, answer the call," Principal Tan set down his pen, "Activate reception mode."


    "Yes."


    Woosh~ The principal''s office immediately changed as beams of light swept across, significantly altering the decor of the office, making it visibly more comfortable through the change in lighting.


    "Director Wang," Principal Tan said with a smile.


    In the projection, a young man wearing a jacket appeared, looking to be about thirty years old.


    "Principal Tan, sorry to disturb you," Director Wang said with a smile, "I need to trouble you with something, it''s about a student at your school."


    "A student?" Principal Tan became curious instantly.


    "Yes, this morning the city''s Martial Arts Hall notified us that we need to report information about a student from your school named Li Yuan, he should be a senior," Director Wang said, "Yesterday, he just broke into the Blue Star Youth Rankings..."


    "Li Yuan? I know of this student, he is a good prospect," Principal Tan nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I''ll compile the data and send it to you right away."


    Having worked in the education sector for decades, he had encountered similar situations more than once.


    Principal Tan already understood the implications and knew what he needed to do.


    "Alright, it''s all routine, I won''t keep you any longer," Director Wang said with a smile, "Go ahead with your work."


    Ending the video call.


    "Li Yuan?"


    "The Blue Star Youth Rankings? He made it on so quickly?" Principal Tan was surprised as he sat at his desk.


    Yesterday, he had been invited to see the match between Lin Lanyue and Li Yuan and felt that the latter might make it onto the Blue Star Youth Rankings.


    But he didn''t expect it would happen so quickly.


    After thinking for a moment.


    "Number Nine, contact Teacher Xu Bo," Principal Tan spoke, and the connection was quickly made.


    "Old Tan, you looking for me?" Xu Bo appeared in the video, smiling, "What''s up? Hurry up and say it, don''t delay my cultivation."


    "Cultivating during work hours?" Principal Tan glared.


    "No Martial Arts classes this morning, what else would I do if not cultivate?" Xu Bo replied with conviction, "My diligent cultivation is also so I can do my job well."


    Principal Tan couldn''t help but smile helplessly, "Let''s not digress, I have something to tell you."


    Quickly.


    ```


    Principal Tan explained the relevant situation.


    "The Blue Star Youth Ranking? Martial Arts Department? It must be about the special recruitment by the five prestigious schools." Xu Bo shook his head lightly, "Based on my experience, it''s probably impossible to get the special recruitment qualifications."


    In this era, the Martial Arts Department within Xia Country, responsible for managing martial artists, held astonishing power.


    The subordinate Martial Arts Hall and Martial Arts Offices were also extremely influential.


    "Yes, that''s what I think too," Principal Tan sighed lightly, "Not awakening the Martial Spirit means you''re not suitable for any high-rank cultivation methods. Future physical quality improvements will fall far behind those of other martial artists. Indeed, it''s difficult to get directly recruited by one of the top five schools through special recruitment."


    Xu Bo nodded slightly, without saying much more.


    Although he had a suspicion that Li Yuan''s physical quality had improved remarkably and he had high actual talent... that was just his guess.


    Over the years, not just throughout all of human civilization, but even within Xia Country alone, there had been many students like Li Yuan. Strong in martial arts skills, decent physical quality, but never able to awaken their Martial Spirit...


    Very few ultimately stood out.


    "Let''s just focus on training him well," Principal Tan pondered, "Even if the special recruitment isn''t successful, with his results, it won''t be difficult for him to get into a Martial Arts University. His future won''t be bad."


    "In the future, he might even catch up to you," Principal Tan suddenly said with a smile.


    "I hope so," Xu Bo changed the subject, "By the way, Old Tan, since the special recruitment selection is going on, why don''t you just give him..."


    Xu Bo was interrupted before he could finish speaking.


    "Hang it up!" Principal Tan''s face lost its smile as he waved his hand, "Hang it up!"


    ...


    "Special recruitment?"


    Xu Bo, dressed in his martial arts uniform, stood in his office and pondered, "Forget it, it''s just a pipe dream, no need to tell Li Yuan about it. It''ll just make him uneasy."


    Xu Bo continued to practice his Basic Cultivation Method.


    "After my arm was severed, the nerve toxin wasn''t completely cleared out, my Origin Power isn''t flowing smoothly, and my dantian is also damaged, causing my physical quality to drop by four levels." Xu Bo reflected silently, "All these years, I''ve only been barely able to maintain at level 19."


    "But at least, I''m still alive."


    "As long as I don''t give up, there''s always a glimmer of hope." Xu Bo''s eyes shone with light.


    ...


    Li Yuan was completely unaware of his selection for the special recruitment qualification screening by the top five prestigious schools.


    It was noon, and classes were over.


    "Old Zhou, you guys go ahead to the cafeteria, I''ve got something to do," Li Yuan told Zhou Qi and the others to go ahead.


    One by one, the classmates left until Li Yuan was the only one remaining.


    He approached the classroom door, glanced at the corridor, and confirmed that there was no one in the nearby classrooms.


    Unable to hold back any longer, Li Yuan immediately activated his smart ring, "Xiao Yu, connect me to auntie."


    "Beep¡ªBeep¡ª"


    A full six seconds passed.


    The hum of a holographic screen projected in front of Li Yuan, visible only to him¡ªa privacy screen.


    "Li Yuan, what''s the matter? Why the urgent video call?" Aunt Chen Hui looked at Li Yuan anxiously, from what could be seen in the background, she was at her office.


    Chen Hui was a middle school teacher.


    "Auntie, put on the headphones," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I have some good news for you."


    "Good news?" Aunt Chen Hui was taken aback.


    Soon she put on the headphones.


    "Auntie, it''s about the scholarship and..." Li Yuan promptly explained the situation, and concluded with emphasis, "Don''t worry, auntie, I''m not lying to you, both amounts have already been deposited into the account."


    As he spoke, Li Yuan sent a screenshot of the account to his auntie.


    "100,000 Blue Star Coins?" Chen Hui was a bit surprised, her mouth hanging open slightly.


    This was almost the equivalent of her annual take-home salary. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Good!"


    "Good!" Chen Hui repeated, her eyes slightly moist with emotion, and she instructed, "Li Yuan, go ahead and eat. Remember to call your uncle after lunch, before one o''clock, they rest from one to two in the afternoon."


    "He''ll definitely be very happy when he knows about it."


    Ever since her son and daughter entered middle school, adding Li Yuan on top of that, these past few years Chen Hui had felt a tremendous financial pressure.


    Particularly this month, her husband Li Changzhou had gone to the war front in Northern Border Province for a high compensation package.


    Chen Hui often lay awake at night, worried sick, dreading suddenly receiving a certain kind of news.


    But she couldn''t show it in front of the children.


    Chen Hui knew that the 100,000 Blue Star Coins Li Yuan just received wouldn''t solve the family''s problems.


    But at that moment, Chen Hui finally saw a glimmer of hope.


    ...After hanging up the phone with his auntie.


    Li Yuan tried to call his uncle, Li Changzhou, to share the good news with him.


    Beep¡ªBeep¡ª


    No answer.


    "No answer?" Li Yuan was taken aback and couldn''t help but feel a bit worried, then he reassured himself, "Uncle must be busy with something."


    Leaving a detailed message on the communicator and sending the screenshot of the deposit to Li Changzhou, Li Yuan had done everything he needed to.


    With that, Li Yuan finally felt a bit more at ease as he walked out of the classroom.


    The September sun poured down on the corridor and on him too.


    It was warm and comforting.


    "Today''s sunshine is really nice." Li Yuan smiled as he went downstairs toward the cafeteria.

 Chapter 27: 25 Message from the Martial Hall

    They had lunch.


    Students exited the cafeteria in groups of three or two, walking along the tree-lined path, all heading towards the Martial Path building.


    Senior year was exhausting, but during the rare free time at noon, most students still had smiles on their faces, brimming with youth and endless longing for the future.


    This contrasted starkly with off-duty workers.


    Li Yuan and Wan Xiao were on their way to the Elite Class building.


    Zhou Qi and Yan Zhou? They took different paths, so they split up after eating.


    "That''s Li Yuan, isn''t it?"


    "Seems like it."


    "Wan Xiao was in the same class as Li Yuan before; the two of them together, the other one must be Li Yuan."


    "Is he the one who defeated Lin Lanyue?"


    "I heard he likes Lin Lanyue, and he didn''t hold back when striking." Many senior year (class one) students passing by took note of Li Yuan and Wan Xiao.


    They all turned their heads to look.


    "Li Yuan, after this fight, you''ve truly made a name for yourself." Wan Xiao said in a low voice with a laugh, "Just now in the cafeteria, there were quite a few people looking at you."


    "The entire grade, even the freshmen and sophomores, are spreading your fame." Wan Xiao exaggerated.


    "Envious, huh? Isn''t it all because you were spreading rumors?" Li Yuan glanced at him, "Want to practice again?"


    Wan Xiao choked.


    Yesterday on the Starry Skies Fighting Network, he was ''sparring'' with Li Yuan for three rounds.


    It was a nightmare.


    "I''ve said it wasn''t me; it was Zhou Qi..." Wan Xiao shook his head repeatedly.


    "You initiated it, and he amplified it," Li Yuan had a clear train of thought.


    Wan Xiao suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Li Yuan, do you really have no feelings for Lin Lanyue? I see a lot of boys in the Elite Class are interested in her, but only a few dare to express it. Could it be that she''s not pretty?"


    "Lin Lanyue is quite pretty," Li Yuan said casually, not noticing someone behind him.


    After all, there are so many people coming and going in the school; one can''t always be aware.


    Suddenly.


    Two girls walked past Li Yuan and Wan Xiao, one of them dressed in practice attire, tall and slender, her long hair tied up high, and she glanced at Li Yuan from the corner of her eye.


    It was Lin Lanyue.


    "Heard that? Wan Xiao did that on purpose," Li Yuan immediately understood.


    "Li Yuan, don''t be a coward, if you like her, then say it out loud." Wan Xiao yelled.


    At the same time, he was already laughing madly as he ran to the back.


    Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, not bothering to chase Wan Xiao, but instead waved his hand and greeted Lin Lanyue openly.


    This scene made Lin Lanyue freeze for a moment.


    Just now, she had indeed heard Li Yuan''s words, but she didn''t expect that Li Yuan would take the initiative to greet her.


    Looking at Li Yuan''s smiling face.


    Lin Lanyue couldn''t help but think of yesterday''s virtual combat, subconsciously touching her chest.


    "Lanyue, he''s greeting you," the girl beside her, with waist-length hair, made faces, deliberately bumping Lin Lanyue''s waist.


    "Qiqi, let''s go," Lin Lanyue said softly, her slender fingers straightening out a lock of hair by her temple, quickening her pace.


    She didn''t respond to Li Yuan.


    Nor did she look at him again.


    "This Lin Lanyue, she was quite polite the first time we met, but today she ignored my greeting," Li Yuan laughed.


    He wasn''t the type to shrink back in the presence of a pretty girl.


    He watched Lin Lanyue and the others enter the Elite Class building.


    "Li Yuan, how was my assist?" Wan Xiao popped up from somewhere.


    "Nicely done."


    "As a token of my gratitude, let''s go to my Martial Arts Room first; I''ll give you some free extra training," Li Yuan said, draping his arm around Wan Xiao''s shoulder with a firm grip that he couldn''t break free from.


    "Li Yuan, let go of me, I''m not interested in you."


    ...


    It was almost two o''clock.


    Inside Martial Arts Room 4011, Li Yuan stood by the window, his gaze falling into the distance.


    A fine layer of sweat was seeping through his skin.


    Li Yuan had just finished half an hour of Basic Cultivation Method, and his physical quality had improved slightly.


    Suddenly.


    "Drip¡ª" The sound of the smart bracelet rang.


    Li Yuan walked to the side and picked up his bracelet, revealing a pleased expression, "Uncle?"


    The call connected.


    Hum~ A holographic screen projected in front of Li Yuan.


    On the opposing screen was Li Changzhou, wearing a helmet.


    "Uncle," Li Yuan said with a smile, a trace of worry in his heart settling down.


    "Xiao Yuan."


    "Your aunt has already called and told me," Li Changzhou said, sitting on a work chair and smiling, "Good lad, you''ve done well. I, your uncle, haven''t reached 500 points in the Gold Stage on the Starry Skies Fighting Network in decades."


    Li Yuan felt warmth in his heart.


    It wasn''t because he had surpassed his uncle, but because of his uncle''s recognition.


    "How are things on your end, uncle?" Li Yuan asked.


    "No worries, don''t be concerned," Li Changzhou replied with a smile, "The Starry Sky Martial Hall has received a large batch of people. I reckon in a few days, we''ll be launching a major counteroffensive... I''m calling you because there''s another matter, related to you."


    "What is it, uncle?" Li Yuan asked immediately.


    "It''s about your Uncle Zhou. He specifically called me," Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan, "It seems like he wants to recruit you into the Starry Sky Martial Hall."


    "Join the Starry Sky Martial Hall?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    Human civilization had three great Martial Halls¡ªStarry Sky Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall, and Starfire Martial Hall.


    Starfire Martial Hall, founded by Dongfang Ji, the strongest person in human civilization.


    Black Stone Martial Hall, created by Lant, the second strongest person in human civilization.


    The Starry Sky Martial Hall, in no way inferior to the other two great Martial Halls.


    The three great Martial Halls represented the three most terrifying forces within the Martial Artist community and served as the main force against Star Realm Creatures.


    The divisions of the three great Martial Halls were spread across the Seven Great Planets.


    According to information Li Yuan gathered from the virtual network and books, at the Seven Star Alliance''s highest council, the combined influence of the three great Martial Halls faintly eclipsed that of the major nations on each planet.


    Within Xia Country''s borders, only the divisions of Starry Sky Martial Hall and Starfire Martial Hall were present, and their power was immense.


    "Aren''t the three great Martial Halls only joined by Martial Artists?" Li Yuan expressed his confusion.


    "You''d become a reserve member first," Li Changzhou said, "Your Uncle Zhou probably got wind through some channel that you''ve become a member of the Blue Star youth rankings... It''s quite common."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    His Uncle Li Changzhou was a Martial Artist, and as far as Li Yuan knew, his uncle had apparently been a member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall in his early years and was well-versed in this area.


    "There are three types of membership when joining a Martial Hall."


    "One type is a registered member, which basically just means registering without many benefits or rights," Li Changzhou said with a laugh, "Like me, I''m still just a registered member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall even now."


    "In name, all Martial Artists in human civilization will join one Martial Hall, but most Martial Artists maintain this kind of relationship with the Martial Halls."


    "Registered members are not hindered from joining other big groups, some Martial Artist organizations, or from joining the military or special state departments."


    Li Yuan nodded to himself. Registered?


    It wasn''t very useful.


    "The second type is an internal member," Li Changzhou continued, "like being an employee of a company. You must sign a contract with the Martial Hall, get paid by the Martial Hall, be cultivated with the Martial Hall''s resources, and in key moments, you must obey the Martial Hall''s orders to fight."


    "Like your Uncle Zhou, he is an internal member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall," Li Changzhou said. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Uncle Zhou had a very good relationship with Uncle Li Changzhou.


    Every time he bought Basic Qi and Blood Elixirs, it was through Uncle Zhou, as he could get them at an internal price, with a 5 percent discount.


    "Internal members are also ranked differently. If one''s strength is too weak, such as below level 15, the assessments are usually very strict," Li Changzhou explained, "It''s not something you can join if you want to."


    Li Yuan understood.


    It was like some big corporations hiring employees, requiring high education, work experience, and interviews... It was normal for an internal member of a Martial Hall to have high criteria.


    "The third kind is a reserve member."


    "Even before becoming a Martial Artist, you can sign up early, which is usually reserved for martial path geniuses." Li Changzhou said with a smile, "For your Uncle Zhou to seek you out means he sees great potential in you."


    "As a reserve member, the advantage is that you can get a substantial amount of Cultivation Methods resources ahead of time, mentoring by masters, Qi and Blood Elixirs, etc., all for free."


    "For free?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    "Hear me out," Li Changzhou said, "There''s no such thing as a free lunch. There''s always a price to pay for what you gain."


    "Once you sign to become a reserve member of the Martial Hall, when you become a Martial Artist, you must join the Starry Sky Martial Hall and become an internal member."


    "Besides,"


    "Ordinary Martial Artists who join a Martial Hall as internal members can terminate their contracts at some cost."


    "But if you sign up early, the conditions for canceling the contract in the future will be much harsher," Li Changzhou cautioned seriously, "So, think it over."

 Chapter 28: 26 Hes Somewhat Special

    After listening to his uncle''s words,


    Li Yuan immediately thought of the trainees at numerous entertainment agencies.


    It seemed like a common tale.


    When big stars switch agencies, the contracts they sign are often very lenient.


    Trainees? A 9:1 split in their favor was considered quite good.


    Even more so, many agencies had no intention of nurturing trainees, instead planning to profit from their breach of contract fees.


    "Don''t worry too much."


    In the holographic projection, Li Changzhou seemed to notice Li Yuan''s concerns, and with a smile said, "Martial Artists accumulate personal might within themselves, the more powerful they are, the harder they are to restrict. A peak Martial Path master possesses the might to destroy heaven and earth... Even if you sign a contract early, it''s not as dark as you imagine."


    "In fact, if you can sign early, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks." A rare trace of regret appeared on Li Changzhou''s face as he sighed, "Your aunt and I have limited abilities."


    "Uncle, don''t talk like that, what you''ve done is more than enough," Li Yuan interrupted Li Changzhou, then asked, "What should I do now, Uncle?"


    "According to your Uncle Zhong, he wants to talk to you in person," Li Changzhou said. "I guess he wants to take a closer look at your Martial Path talent... This is a good thing."


    "Set a time to meet with your Uncle Zhong first, then talk."


    "But no matter what terms they offer, do not agree to anything. Wait until they put out their terms, then get in touch with me," Li Changzhou instructed. "You''ve just turned seventeen... you have talent in Martial Path, keep working hard and maybe Starfire Martial Hall will approach you too."


    "Additionally, with you entering the Blue Star Youth Rankings, the country should also reach out through the school, and there''s a chance they''ll recruit you early."


    "You should think about it carefully first, and I''ll also contact some classmates to find out more about the situation."


    "This will determine the path of your life."


    Li Yuan nodded.


    He had understood what he needed to do; it was to showcase his talent and then choose the best contract to sign.


    "Alright, let''s stop here for today, I need to start work," Li Changzhou said with a smile.


    The communication was cut off.


    "Special recruitment?"


    "Early signing with Starry Sky Martial Hall?" Li Yuan put down his smart wristband, muttering to himself as he calmed down, "No rush." Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I''ve only awoken my Mind Spirit Divine Palace a year ago."


    "From now until the college entrance exam, as my spiritual power increases, my Martial Arts Skills will improve even faster, and my control over my body will become even greater." Li Yuan''s eyes sparked with a light, "Hence, my efficiency in practicing the ''Solid Rock Cultivation Technique'' will be higher."


    "Unable to cultivate High-Rank Cultivation Methods? The rate of my physical quality improvement is still not slow."


    Over the past year, Li Yuan''s physical quality had been improving faster and faster, surpassing most students in the Elite Class.


    Why?


    It was due to his rapidly improving Martial Arts Skills and his continuous cultivation of the ''Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture''.


    "Practice spear."


    Li Yuan calmed his mind, took out a large spear from the weapon cabinet at his side, and silently pondered over his Spear Technique.


    More than an hour later.


    [Your Spear Technique level has increased from Third Stage 48% to Third Stage 49%]


    "On weekdays, I ponder over the Spear Technique in reality."


    "Every weekend, I hone my skills in virtual combat. The combination of the two indeed provides a rapid improvement," said Li Yuan with a hint of a smile. "Since the start of school up to now, my Third Stage Spear Technique has improved nearly 20%."


    This kind of progress within less than a month would be terrifying to share.


    ...


    The Martial Hall is a very special organization.


    It is somewhat akin to a multinational corporation, but not exactly the same.


    The three major Martial Hall branches are highly independent within their respective nations.


    Ordinary departments have no authority over them; only the Martial Arts Department does.


    Starry Sky Martial Hall, Guan Mountain District branch.


    This is a twelve-story, incredibly large circular building that is much larger than an average commercial complex and not too far from Guan Mountain District''s First High School.


    In an office on the twelfth floor, the decoration is quite luxurious.


    "Dong~ Dong~" The sound of knocking on the door.


    "Master, it''s First Rank Martial Artist ''Zhong Cheng''." A gentle voice echoed in the office.


    "Open the door, let him in," a slightly cold female voice emanated from the resting area.


    Click~ The door opened.


    A middle-aged man in a black suit entered the office and came to the center, giving a slight nod and said, "Vice Hall Master Song."


    If it were an insider from the Starry Sky Martial Hall''s Guan Mountain District branch, they would immediately understand who the office''s owner was ¡ª one of the three vice hall masters, ''Song Yi''.


    The Guan Mountain District branch was only a five-rank branch of the Starry Sky Martial Hall.


    Even so, the power of a vice hall master was astonishing and not within reach of an ordinary martial artist.


    A young woman with a slender figure, whose loose martial attire couldn''t hide her shapely body, walked out from a side resting room.


    She wore no makeup, but her skin was fair, with a melon seed-shaped face, and her eyes were extremely sharp.


    In her every move and stance, she exuded an invisible aura that revealed her extraordinary martial arts cultivation.


    "Zhong Cheng, how is the contact going?" Song Yi asked the man in the suit, her gaze sharp.


    "I''ve spoken with Li Yuan''s guardian today, and they agreed to our contact," Zhong Cheng nodded and said, "Additionally, I''ve had two encounters with Li Yuan and am familiar with his situation... The young man is decent and quite diligent in his training."


    "However, it seems that neither Starfire Martial Hall nor the Martial Arts Hall has reached out to Li Yuan," Zhong Cheng said.


    "It''s better that they haven''t made contact." Song Yi''s red lips curved into a smile, "If the Martial Arts Hall had reached out, wouldn''t our hopes be much reduced?"


    "In Xia Country, most martial arts prodigies eventually choose special recruitment," Song Yi said, "For us to recruit, we mostly have to wait until they graduate from university."


    Zhong Cheng couldn''t help but nod.


    "Vice Hall Master Song," Zhong Cheng hesitated before saying, "I have a good relationship with Li Yuan''s family, but objectively speaking, I''ve specifically looked into Li Yuan''s data."


    "Starfire Martial Hall and the Martial Arts Hall haven''t made any moves for a reason... Li Yuan has not awakened his Martial Spirit, and while his martial arts skills are not bad, they aren''t exaggerated either," he explained.


    "Hundreds of youths emerge every year on Blue Star''s youth rankings in Jiangbei Province alone."


    "And there are other age groups of martial arts prodigies..." Zhong Cheng expressed his doubt, "Is Li Yuan worth the great expense to sign him early?"


    The laws of the Seven Star Alliance stated explicitly:


    To sign a contract with a minor before term, the individual must be at least twelve years old.


    Next, they must provide cultivation resources worth at least one million Blue Star Coins each year, for no less than six years.


    Moreover, the one million Blue Star Coins provided yearly cannot include so-called ''instruction by a master'' or ''training premises.''


    At least half of it must be monetary rewards, and the rest must be tangible resources like qi and blood potions.


    It was designed to prevent Martial Halls from signing people indiscriminately.


    This meant.


    Signing early would cost the Starry Sky Martial Hall at least six million Blue Star Coins or more, not including other indirect expenses ¡ª a truly astonishing price.


    "Under normal circumstances, Li Yuan indeed wouldn''t be worth us signing early," Song Yi said slowly, "However, he has something special about him."


    "Special?" Zhong Cheng was taken aback.


    Whoosh~


    Suddenly, an abundance of light shot down from the ceiling, forming a projection screen displaying copious amounts of data, text, images, and videos.


    "What''s this?" Zhong Cheng was puzzled.


    "The Starry Skies Fighting Network, which our Starry Sky Martial Hall directly controls," Song Yi said with a mysterious smile, "We''re also the primary shareholders in the entire virtual network''s controls."


    "By the Seven Star Alliance''s agreements, a lot of information from the Starry Skies Fighting Network must be shared with the other two major Martial Halls and the host country."


    "So, whether it is the Starfire Martial Hall or the Xia Country Martial Arts Department, they would know immediately if Li Yuan entered the Blue Star youth rankings... but specific match intelligence, winning rates about Li Yuan, we would not pass on to them," she said.


    "Just take a look, and you''ll understand," Song Yi pointed at the projection.


    Zhong Cheng immediately started clicking through the screen, browsing through Li Yuan''s data.


    Soon.


    Zhong Cheng realized something was amiss.


    "He completed 196 virtual battles within a single day?" Zhong Cheng was a bit shocked, "How did he manage that? Can his mental consciousness endure it?"


    He immediately scrolled forward through the history records.


    He was shocked to discover.


    In the past three months, nearly every weekend, Li Yuan would engage in high-intensity virtual combat, the fewest being around ninety battles, and sometimes exceeding two hundred.


    "This? This!"


    "Li Yuan''s spiritual power?" Zhong Cheng''s eyes lit up, already realizing, he blurted out, "Is it at a martial artist level?"


    "A ninety percent probability," she said.


    "Although we haven''t conducted a detailed test yet, by my estimation, his spiritual power is at least level 11," Song Yi said with a smile, "Add to that his martial arts skills."


    "Do you think he is qualified for us to sign him early?"

 Chapter 29: 27 C-Level? D-Level Contract

    ```


    "Enough."


    "His martial arts skills are improving rapidly, and it''s definitely related to his strong spiritual power, but the most important factor is his comprehension of the spear technique," Zhong Cheng, dressed in a black suit, said somewhat excitedly.


    "The kid is barely seventeen... It''s very different from those who only made it onto the Blue Star Youth List close to nineteen."


    "So young, and his spear skills are already so high."


    "Normally speaking, there''s a great chance that his spear technique will break through to the fourth level in the future." Zhong Cheng took a deep breath, "His spiritual power is so strong that once his body becomes even stronger, his spiritual power will probably quickly surpass level 20."


    "For Li Yuan, the two major difficulties in becoming a Prime Warrior aren''t going to be problems at all in the future," Zhong Cheng said as he looked towards Song Yi.


    As an official member of the Starry Sky Martial Hall, Zhong Cheng was well acquainted with the operation mode of the Martial Hall.


    He was aware that the value paid for signing a prospective member in advance was at least ten million Blue Star Coins.


    Perhaps even more.


    But to spend such a huge sum, just to cultivate a first-rank martial artist with a physical quality of barely over ten levels?


    It simply wasn''t worth it.


    The goal of signing in advance and focusing on cultivation was only one¡ªto cultivate a Prime Warrior.


    Song Yi was such a Prime Warrior.


    Because of her formidable strength, Song Yi was able to secure her position as the Vice Hall Master of Guan Mountain District''s division.


    "To become a Prime Warrior, there are three major difficulties," said Song Yi with a slight smile, "For most people, the hardest part is spiritual power, as it mostly depends on innate talent."


    Zhong Cheng couldn''t help but nod.


    Physical quality not high? That can be enhanced through external means, there are many such treasures, and theoretically, as long as one has enough money, anyone can meet the physical requirements of a martial artist.


    Martial arts skills? That depends greatly on comprehension, but with instruction from a renowned master, improvement can be swift.


    Spiritual power? The treasures that can enhance spiritual power are unimaginably expensive, beyond even what Prime Warriors would dare to contemplate, so it largely comes down to talent.


    And now.


    In the eyes of Zhong Cheng and Song Yi, Li Yuan was one of those with exceptional talent for spiritual power.


    Combined with his level of spear skills.


    He was very much worth cultivating!


    "Shall we contact him this week?" Zhong Cheng asked, "Ask him to come to the Martial Hall?"


    "That''s too hasty," shook her head Song Yi.


    Zhong Cheng was taken aback, anxious.


    Did she not ask him to contact Li Changzhou immediately? And now she''s saying it''s too rushed?


    "I asked you to contact him promptly for fear that the Martial Arts Hall and Starfire Martial Hall might detect something fishy and beat us to it," Song Yi explained as she picked up her coffee from the side and stirred it gently, "But now, we''re pretty sure no one has reached out to him yet."


    "Li Yuan is a kid; he might just agree impulsively, but his uncle, Li Changzhou, isn''t foolish."


    "If we reach out now, they will definitely ask to raise the terms of the contract."


    "So, let him cool his heels for a few days."


    "Once they realize that we''re the only ones interested, negotiations will naturally go more smoothly," Song Yi said with a smile.


    "Trying to lower the price?" Zhong Cheng frowned slightly.


    Driving down the price isn''t a good choice.


    Because, martial artists represent martial power, and martial power is the source of all authority.


    Pushing for a lower price during pre-contract negotiations could lead to backlash once the other party grows stronger.


    "Start by lowering the price," Song Yi said with a faint smile, then she spat out three more words: "Then, raise it."


    "Create a difference in treatment."


    "In this way, we can show off Starry Sky Martial Hall''s regard for talent, and make Li Yuan feel grateful," Song Yi smiled, "Besides, leave the matter of this contract to you."


    "You have my authorization for a C-level contract at most; don''t disappoint me."


    "Thank you, Hall Master Song," Zhong Cheng nodded continuously, "I will definitely handle this matter well."


    ...


    Late at night, just past nine o''clock, Li Yuan finished his cultivation practice and took the unmanned train back home from school.


    His aunt had been sitting on the couch waiting for him.


    "Aunt!" Li Yuan called out.


    "Back? Drink your high-energy milk first, it''s on the table, just made a while ago," his aunt said.


    "Alright," agreed Li Yuan with a nod.


    Except for Sundays when he ate at home, his three meals during weekdays were basically all at school.


    Worried about his high expenditure of energy during nighttime cultivation, his aunt would always calculate the time and prepare a cup of high-energy milk for him every night.


    Picking up the cup from the dining table, Li Yuan sat down in the living room.


    "Aunt, with my allowance from Uncle for the last two months, plus the money I got today, I think I can make it till February, so there''s no need to give me any for now," Li Yuan spoke up as he drank his milk.


    "Okay," Chen Hui said with a smile, watching Li Yuan as he guzzled down the milk.


    She had always been very satisfied with Li Yuan.


    Obedient, sensible, and sometimes showing maturity beyond his years, he always made her feel at ease.


    As he grew older, Li Yuan began to show noticeable talent in martial arts.


    What used to worry Chen Hui was that she and her husband could not provide sufficient financial support for Li Yuan.


    This time, Li Yuan earned two bonuses on his own, which also gave her a bit more peace of mind.


    "Your uncle sent me a message," Chen Hui said, "that Starry Sky Martial Hall is interested in signing you in advance. What do you think about it?"


    "It depends on the terms that Starry Sky Martial Hall offers," Li Yuan put down his empty cup and pondered, "However, if the Martial Arts Hall is willing to recruit me specially, I would prefer to go that route."


    "Right."


    ```


    "The best would be a special recruitment," Chen Hui said quite satisfied, "Special recruitment is akin to having a reserved spot in one of the top five schools, and after graduation, a job assignment is guaranteed. You might even directly enter the city''s Martial Arts Bureau."


    As a high school teacher, Chen Hui had a clear understanding of special recruitment and hoped most of all for Li Yuan to be specially recruited.


    In her view, special recruitment by the state not only guaranteed job placements but also was much safer than enlisting in the military¡ªat least if one stayed out of military ranks.


    But if you sign a contract with a Martial Hall, the future is uncertain. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Members of a Martial Hall are those who will charge into the front lines of the Star Realm battlefield, with casualty rates no less than those of military martial artists.


    "Mm-hmm, I''ll listen to you, Auntie," Li Yuan said with a smile, understanding his aunt''s concerns.


    Li Yuan had his own considerations as well.


    The three major Martial Halls, each gathering a large number of martial artists, were the most powerful communities of martial artists, surpassing even the nation.


    In terms of martial arts cultivation, choosing a Martial Hall could lead to faster progress, but it''s often more dangerous.


    On the other hand, opting for the special recruitment from the Martial Arts Hall would mean administrative positioning, which would be best for his family in the future.


    With state resources for cultivation, the pace of martial arts progress wouldn''t be slow either.


    ¡­


    When Li Yuan was full of anticipation,


    The ensuing developments were entirely beyond his expectations.


    The day after he made it onto the Blue Star Youth Ranking, Starry Sky Martial Hall contacted his uncle Li Changzhou once.


    After that, there was no more news.


    It wasn''t just the Starry Sky Martial Hall that went silent; neither the Martial Arts Hall nor the Starfire Martial Hall showed any signs of interest¡ªno one came looking¡­ Time passed, day by day.


    In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had gone by.


    The time came to mid-October.


    Even with Li Yuan''s calm disposition, after waiting so long, he was somewhat perplexed.


    That afternoon, his uncle Li Changzhou made a video call.


    "Li Yuan."


    "Your Uncle Zhong messaged me again today; he felt a bit embarrassed, so there''s been no news for so many days. He''s responsible for signing contracts at the Martial Hall," Li Changzhou said seriously in the video projection, "He really hopes to sign with you."


    "Mm," Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Zhong Cheng and Uncle Li Changzhou were undoubtedly good friends for many years.


    "But he was frank with you¡ªyour issue is with Martial Spirit. Hence, his application for you was stalled during the second review, and now the higher-ups of the Martial Hall are discussing it," Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan, "But the result should be out in the next couple of days."


    "A result in the next couple of days? Because of Martial Spirit?" Li Yuan listened quietly.


    Was it again because of Martial Spirit?


    "Don''t be discouraged; your Uncle Zhong said he would do everything he can to fight for you," Li Changzhou said, "We might have been overly optimistic about this. Even if it doesn''t work out, don''t be disappointed."


    "Don''t slack in your cultivation either," Li Changzhou advised.


    "Don''t worry, Uncle, I''m not cultivating Martial Path just to sign early with the Starry Sky Martial Hall," Li Yuan said with a smile, "When the time comes, even if they want to sign, I might not be willing to."


    He ended the video call.


    The smile on Li Yuan''s face was gone.


    Standing inside Martial Arts Room 4011.


    "Martial Spirit?"


    "Because I haven''t awakened it, do neither the Martial Arts Hall nor the Starfire Martial Hall give me a chance?"


    "Perhaps, without Uncle Zhong, there wouldn''t even be a glimmer of hope with the Starry Sky Martial Hall," Li Yuan gripped his long spear, silently thinking, "Without a suitable high-rank cultivation method, is there no hope of becoming a powerful martial artist?"


    Neither Li Yuan nor Li Changzhou had ever considered that the Starry Sky Martial Hall might be doing this on purpose.


    After all, with the Starfire Martial Hall and Martial Arts Hall for comparison, there was no word from either party.


    "Rip!"


    Li Yuan suddenly thrust his spear, a terrifying force erupted, nearly casting a residual image, followed by multiple spear shadows transforming, bursting through the air with piercing screeches.


    Suddenly, two notifications flashed across Li Yuan''s vision.


    [Your Spear Technique realm has advanced from Third Stage 56% to Third Stage 57%]


    [Your Life Level has increased from 6.8 to 6.9]


    ¡­


    The next day, close to 10 p.m.,


    Li Yuan, who was in his room, suddenly received a video transmission.


    "Uncle Zhong?" Li Yuan''s eyes brightened slightly.


    He answered the call.


    Buzz¡ªthe projection immediately revealed a middle-aged man dressed in casual home attire, looking very spirited.


    "Uncle Zhong," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Li Yuan." Zhong Cheng chuckled, "Calling you so late, I didn''t disturb you, did I?"


    "No."


    "That''s good." Zhong Cheng smiled, seemingly a little sentimental, "I have some good news for you. Your contract application has been approved in the meeting. It''s a D-level contract."


    "It''s passed?" Li Yuan''s eyes lit up, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong."


    He had already prepared for the possibility of not being approved.


    "No need to thank me; it was your own excellence."


    "Come to the Martial Hall at nine o''clock on Sunday morning, and we''ll discuss the specific terms," Zhong Cheng said with a smile, "No problem, right?"


    "No problem."

    He ended the video call with Zhong Cheng. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan contemplated for a moment, afraid of disturbing his uncle Li Changzhou''s rest, and chose not to make a direct video call. Instead, he first left a message.


    He briefly explained the situation.


    Just five minutes later.


    Beep¡ªbeep¡ªLi Changzhou initiated the video call back. Li Yuan immediately answered.


    "Uncle." Li Yuan looked at Li Changzhou in the projected video, covered in dust, as if he had just finished some work.


    "I roughly know what''s happening." There was no joy on Li Changzhou''s face that Li Yuan had anticipated, but rather his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, "If the Starry Sky Martial Hall really only offers a D-grade contract in the end, then whether you sign it or not is another matter."


    "Oh?" Li Yuan was slightly puzzled.


    Special recruitment by the Martial Arts Hall had always been Li Yuan''s first goal, yet there had been no news for the past half month.


    Actually, at the start, Li Yuan had not been so eager about signing with a Martial Hall ahead of time.


    But in recent days, Li Yuan had searched online for a lot of information and found that early signing with the major Martial Halls was generally good, apart from being quite binding, there weren''t any pitfalls.


    Most importantly, as long as one signs early, no matter the grade, it indeed could greatly reduce the financial pressure on his family.


    He could even get cash rewards to support his family.


    In his heart, Li Yuan felt indebted to his uncle and aunt.


    He always felt that his uncle ventured to the Northern Border Province because of him.


    "Through some connections, I''ve pretty much figured it out." Li Changzhou patiently explained, "Over the years, the early signing contracts offered by the three grand Martial Halls have been divided into D, C, B, A, and S grades, five levels from low to high."


    "The contracts of the same grade from different Martial Halls are almost identical in terms."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed that in the eyes of Starry Sky Martial Hall, he belonged to the lowest tier?


    However, being able to sign early already marked him as extremely outstanding.


    "A D-grade contract provides one million Blue Star Coins annually for six years," Li Changzhou said somberly. "It sounds good, but you need to understand."


    "The resources you currently need for your cultivation and the resources you will need after entering university and becoming a Martial Artist are two different concepts."


    "Take the basic blood essence potions, for example, one bottle costs just 2000 Blue Star Coins, and currently, you only need to spend twenty thousand Blue Star Coins a month on them."


    "After becoming a Martial Artist, just the First Rank blood essence potions used by a First Rank Martial Artist will cost 10,000 Blue Star Coins per bottle, and in a month you may need at least ten to as many as twenty or thirty bottles," Li Changzhou said earnestly. "Just this most basic item alone will cost at least a million Blue Star Coins a year."


    "Then there''s the ''auxiliary divine spirit treasures.'' If you aspire to become a Second Rank Prime Warrior in the future, these are indispensable, and they cost several million Blue Star Coins a year at the very least..."


    "And there''s physiotherapy..."


    "And the purchase of weapons, various types of auxiliary equipment. Martial Artists have to fight with Star Realm Creatures, can their equipment be ordinary? It''s expensive and easily damaged." Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan, "One million, for you right now, is a lot."


    "If you''re not focused on the Martial Path but want to study other majors in the university."


    "Then you don''t have to spend too much on the Martial Path. You can slowly cultivate at the university, aiming to become a level 15 Martial Artist, and this contract could even be considered generous. You might even be able to save a few million Blue Star Coins," Li Changzhou said.


    "After graduating from university, according to the contract, Starry Sky Martial Hall will still have to provide you with a job."


    "By then, like your Uncle Zhong, you can be an ordinary member in the Martial Hall. The benefits and treatments are no worse than those of a civil servant."


    "If Starry Sky Martial Hall initiates the termination of the contract and does not provide a job, you take those few million Blue Star Coins and find a new job, it''s sure to be profitable."


    "This is a broad and bright path for those who wish to take it easy." Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was shocked.


    He had not thought that there was such a way to play the game.


    "But Xiao Yuan, are you really content with being an ordinary person? An ordinary Martial Artist?" Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    "You''re not satisfied," Li Changzhou shook his head and sighed. "I''ve watched you grow, how could I not understand? Your frenzied cultivation, besides wanting to help the family, importantly, you have the heart of a Martial Artist."


    "From the second year of junior high to your senior year of high school, have you ever taken even one day off on weekends, or during the summer or winter breaks? You were even cultivating during the New Year''s."


    "You''re harsh on yourself."


    "I''ve never seen such determination, I''m not your match, and your father wasn''t either," Li Changzhou said slowly.


    Li Yuan''s eyes flickered. For so many years, his uncle rarely spoke so much, let alone mentioned his late father.


    "Your aunt has always wanted you to take the civil service exam or become a teacher in the future. She''s always blamed me, thinking I shouldn''t have supported you."


    "Why don''t I object to you becoming a full-time Martial Artist?" There was a hint of excitement in Li Changzhou''s voice, "I don''t want you to end up regretting like I did at the age of forty."


    Li Yuan was shaken, looking at his uncle with amazement.


    "Being a full-time martial artist is dangerous,"


    Li Changzhou replied with an open smile, "But since ancient times, which hero didn''t dream of galloping across the battlefields and pursuing the limits of the Martial Path?"


    "To stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine with the body of a human! To explore the limits of life."


    "My time for that has passed."


    "But you still have the chance," Li Changzhou said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan, his helmet covered in much mud, making him look rather unkempt.


    Li Yuan listened with bated breath.


    "If you want to walk the path of a full-time martial artist, this money, the money from this contract, is far from enough," Li Changzhou continued, "but this contract will bind your future."


    After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuan couldn''t help but say, "Uncle, according to the information I''ve found, if I perform well enough, Starry Sky Martial Hall will upgrade the contract."


    "But what if Starry Sky Martial Hall doesn''t upgrade it?" Li Changzhou countered, "Why should you leave your destiny in someone else''s hands?"


    Li Yuan realized the truth.


    "Uncle Zhong is a good man, but many things are not his to decide as an ordinary member," Li Changzhou said, "Moreover, as far as I know, once you sign a contract with the Martial Hall in advance, your development will be restricted when you get to Martial Arts University."


    "Restricted?" Li Yuan was taken aback, this was something he didn''t know.


    "For example, the five prestigious schools of Xia Country, they are funded by the state," Li Changzhou said, "If you sign with the Martial Hall in advance, you''re destined to join the Martial Hall after university graduation¡­ Do you think when some special resources arrive at the school, and they have to choose between you and another student specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall, whom will they choose?"


    Li Yuan''s eyes flickered.


    Signing with the Martial Hall in advance was indeed a kind of bondage in a sense.


    "This contract."


    "You go to the Martial Hall on Sunday, first learn more from Uncle Zhong, and if you can be promoted to a C-level standard and have passive upgrade clauses, such as reaching a certain standard before a certain age will directly automatically upgrade you to B level or even A level, then signing is no harm," Li Changzhou patiently explained.


    "If you want to be a full-time martial artist, the Martial Hall is indeed a better choice, but if the restrictions are too great, there''s no need to sign."


    "Li Yuan, I know what you''re thinking, you want to help your family," Li Changzhou stared at Li Yuan, "But remember, your uncle is not dead yet."


    "The time for you to fully support this family has not come yet."


    "At least, before you go to university, have no worries, what you need to do is to devote yourself to training wholeheartedly, understand?" Li Changzhou said solemnly.


    "Yes, Uncle," Li Yuan nodded firmly.


    "I believe in you, I can''t be wrong," Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan.


    "Now that Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall are not signing, it''s their lack of foresight."


    "When the college entrance exam results come out, or even when you enter university, naturally you will receive better contracts."


    "It''s never too late to sign then."


    ¡­


    Uncle Li Changzhou''s words calmed Li Yuan down completely, and he could think about the matter more calmly.


    "Uncle is right."


    "What''s the rush? In the end, they will be the ones in a hurry," Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    He continued with his training.


    In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday, two days later. Li Yuan kept to his routine, going to school and then back home.


    Saturday afternoon.


    All the senior year students had Martial Path classes together in the martial arts classroom today.


    At the school gate.


    Several black cars arrived slowly, and six figures descended from the vehicles one after another.


    Five of them were dressed in black suits, while one of the middle-aged men wore a black Tang suit, seemingly ordinary, yet exuding an indescribable presence.


    "Lord Wan."


    "Lord Wan, welcome to our school," Principal Tan Zhenlong and several vice principals all came forward with smiles to greet him.


    "Tie Ta," the middle-aged man looked directly at Xu Bo standing in the distance and smiled, "It''s been a long time since we parted in the Star Realm."


    "Old Wan," Xu Bo then stepped forward with a wide grin, "I didn''t expect that the new Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall''s Guanshan branch would be you."


    "Welcome!"

 Chapter 31: 29: The Shocked Xu Bo

    ```


    Seeing the middle-aged man in Tang attire dismiss him and speak directly to Xu Bo, the expressions of several vice-principals changed slightly.


    They couldn''t help but turn to look at Xu Bo.


    Previously, although the vice-principals had heard many rumors, they had never witnessed Xu Bo''s abilities firsthand, so they still harbored some doubts about him.


    Now? There were no more doubts.


    Only Principal Tan Zhenlong remained composed, as he was the one most aware of Xu Bo''s background, which was why he had specifically called Xu Bo to meet at the school entrance.


    And the outcome had been exactly as he expected.


    "Tie Ta, your hand, I''ve heard..." The middle-aged man in Tang attire glanced at Xu Bo''s silver mechanical right arm.


    "Old Wan, that''s all in the past."


    Xu Bo waved his hand with a smile, "Today you''re here for the first inspection of your tenure at our school, let''s talk business first."


    "This is Principal Tan."


    Xu Bo took the initiative to introduce him.


    "Principal Tan." Lord Wan smiled slightly.


    "Lord Wan, hello, I have long heard of Lord Wan''s prestige in the Star Realm." Principal Tan slightly bowed and extended his hand.


    Principal Tan lowered his posture.


    As the Hall Master of Starfire Martial Hall in the Guan Mountain District, Lord Wan held an extremely high status.


    This status stemmed not just from the power of the Martial Hall, but also from Lord Wan''s own strength.


    "Principal Tan, let''s enter the school," Lord Wan said with a smile. "I''ve just come back from the Star Realm, and am not familiar with many things, so let''s do everything according to standard procedure, starting with a look at the students from the three elite classes."


    "Sure."


    "This way, please, Lord Wan, the students from the three elite classes are all waiting in the martial arts classroom," Principal Tan said with a smile.


    A crowd surrounded them as they entered the school.


    ... S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Two hours later, a group of people emerged from the elite building, surrounded by Lord Wan, Principal Tan, and Xu Bo.


    "Principal Tan and all the teachers, excellent teaching,"


    Lord Wan said with a smile, "The students from the elite classes are all outstanding, especially the seniors in the third year. I see many of them have the hope of being admitted to the top five prestigious schools."


    "I believe that in a few years, our Guan Mountain District will see a surge of entry-rank martial artists," Lord Wan praised.


    "Lord Wan flatters us," Principal Tan said with a laugh. "But I wonder, have you taken a liking to any of the students?"


    The vice-principals and teachers all looked towards Lord Wan with anticipation.


    Why do Martial Halls conduct inspections?


    Essentially, they invite the decision-makers of the Martial Halls to see if any students qualify for early recruitment.


    For the school, being specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall would be the best outcome, but such opportunities are scarce.


    If the students could sign early contracts with the Martial Hall and receive its training, their chances of being admitted to the top five prestigious schools would greatly increase, which would also be a significant accomplishment for the school''s leaders.


    In fact, why are there only the Starry Sky and Starfire Martial Halls within Xia Country, and why do these two halls hold so much power?


    In a sense, even though these two Martial Halls seem independent, they both possess some official character.


    "These students are all excellent, but some decisions aren''t mine to make alone," Lord Wan said with a smile. "When I get back, I''ll have the Martial Hall conduct a comprehensive assessment of these students. I believe there will be favorable results."


    A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the school leaders.


    Clearly, Lord Wan had not taken a particular liking to any student, at least not at first sight.


    "Lord Wan, would you like to take another look at the students from the regular classes?" Principal Tan''s smile remained unchanged. "Among the regular class students, there are some who are exceptional too."


    Lord Wan smiled without answering.


    "Principal Tan, the Hall Master has limited time today, and it''s getting late," a man in black clothes whispered. "What do you say?"


    "Oh, alright, sure, we''ll wait for another opportunity," Principal Tan said, nodding repeatedly.


    This was the norm. The regular class had too many students, and their chances of becoming martial artists were low... Whether it was Starfire or Starry Sky Martial Hall inspecting, they rarely visited the regular classes.


    You see, inspecting school students is only a small part of a Martial Hall''s duties.


    And just in the Guan Mountain District, there were dozens of middle and high schools combined, so there wasn''t enough time to visit each one, and most assessments were done by directly reviewing martial path results.


    "Old Wan."


    Xu Bo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "I''ve selected a few good seeds from the regular class, do you want to stay a bit longer?"


    Everyone turned to look at Xu Bo.


    "Xu..." Principal Tan was just about to speak.


    "Are these the ones Tie Ta takes an interest in?" Lord Wan revealed a hint of curiosity, smiling, "Selected from the regular class? If Tie Ta you have noticed them, they must have some potential. Alright, I will take a look."


    Lord Wan was willing, first because he wanted to give face to Xu Bo.


    Secondly, he truly wanted to achieve something noteworthy as the new Hall Master, but none of the students from the three elite classes he saw today had satisfied him.


    "Alright, Teacher Xu, lead the way," Principal Tan said, seizing the moment to reply with a smile.


    "This way," Xu Bo said, walking ahead of everyone else.


    ...


    "Today, Teacher Xu asked me to come here and specifically instructed me not to go anywhere else, but why?" Li Yuan wondered inwardly as his gaze swept over the other three students.


    Two were second-year seniors, one was a first-year senior, and none of them were acquainted with each other.


    ```


    With Li Yuan included, there were only four people in the martial arts classroom.


    Suddenly.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan''s ears twitched as he heard the noisy sounds coming from the end of the hallway.


    It was the voice of Teacher Xu.


    "Hall Master Wan?" Li Yuan heard a title in the voices.


    Before he could ponder further.


    Very soon.


    Teacher Xu, Hall Master Wan, Principal Tan, and a group of people walked into the martial arts classroom.


    Faced with this scene.


    The other three students all showed nervousness, while only Li Yuan, who was prepared, remained the most composed.


    "Hall Master Wan, is it the Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall or the Starfire Martial Hall?" Li Yuan''s peripheral vision fell involuntarily on the middle-aged man in traditional attire, and a series of text messages appeared in his field of view.


    [Target individual, Life Level exceeding sensory limit (current Life Level sensory limit is 16.9).]


    The man stood at the front, dressed most distinctively, clearly with the highest status.


    Moreover, just one glance at this middle-aged man in traditional attire gave Li Yuan an intense sense of danger, especially those calm eyes that seemed like knife edges, making one involuntarily want to look away.


    "What a powerful martial artist, he might even be stronger than Teacher Xu," Li Yuan thought in shock.


    Every use of his Divine Palace panel required mental energy, after many uses he would feel fatigued, as if having gone through numerous virtual battles, so Li Yuan seldom used it in daily life.


    "A Martial Hall''s Hall Master? Accompanied by the principal and Teacher Xu? What are they here for?" Li Yuan''s thoughts raced through his mind.


    At the same time.


    Li Yuan and the other three students were already calling out, "Principal, Teacher Xu."


    "Teacher Xu."


    Several vice-principals? Li Yuan and the others only recognized them by face, knowing they were school leaders, but had no idea what their surnames were, so naturally, they did not address them by name.


    "Alright."


    "Listen, all of you. Today is a very important opportunity for you. Later on, show us all your Physical Quality and Martial Arts Skills," Teacher Xu said solemnly, "Xiong Yifan, you come first for the triple test."


    The triple test referred to the Life Vitality Detection, Fist Strength test, and Burst Speed test.


    Immediately.


    The high first-year student stepped into the range of the Life Vitality Detector...


    Lord Wan didn''t pay much attention to this high first-year student. He seemed to have noticed something, his gaze involuntarily falling on Li Yuan as he quietly asked, "Tie Ta, what''s this student''s name?"


    Teacher Xu took notice of Lord Wan''s gaze and said, "His name is Li Yuan, Old Wan, do you find him impressive?"


    "Li Yuan?" Hall Master Wan''s eyes flickered as if remembering something, and he said with a smile, "Let''s take a look first, no rush."


    "Hmm," Teacher Xu nodded.


    Soon after.


    The three students from the first and second year of high school had completed their tests, and their Physical Quality data, when compared within their respective Elite Classes, ranked in the upper middle range.


    Only, that was it, not enough to change Lord Wan''s mind.


    Finally, everyone''s gaze settled on Li Yuan.


    "Is he Li Yuan?"


    "I''ve heard of him."


    "Seems to have quite the Martial Arts Skills."


    "However, having not awakened his Martial Spirit upon entering his third year, the chances for early signing don''t look very good," a few school leaders whispered among themselves. They didn''t know that Li Yuan had entered the Blue Star youth ranking, but they had all heard of Li Yuan''s name.


    After defeating Lin Lanyue in virtual combat, Li Yuan had become somewhat of a minor celebrity at the school.


    "Li Yuan, go," said Teacher Xu in a deep voice. "Be serious, and bring out all your strength."


    Out of the four students selected from the regular class, Teacher Xu valued Li Yuan the most.


    Or perhaps, in his eyes, Li Yuan was the one with the most promising chance of signing early with a Martial Hall.


    "Yes."


    Li Yuan nodded and directly stepped onto the silver circular floor in the center of the martial arts classroom. This circular area served both as the skill-testing ground and the Life Vitality Detector''s sensing range.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of red light shot over, enveloping Li Yuan''s entire body.


    Three seconds later.


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, data appeared - "Li Yuan (Student), Physical Quality: 6.9 (last measured at 6.5)."


    "Historical data: September 5th: 6.5."


    "Historical data: June 25th, 6.0."


    ¡­


    "6.9? It improved by 0.4 since a little over a month ago?" Teacher Xu''s eyes revealed a hint of surprise as he looked at Li Yuan, quite astonished.


    "Interesting," Lord Wan showed a smile.

 Chapter 32: 30 B-Level Contract

    "6.9 grade? Just over three months ago, he was at 6.0 grade? A little over a month ago, 6.5 grade? His physical quality has improved this fast?" Principal Tan Zhenlong was also extremely surprised.


    Because of Xu Bo''s multiple recommendations, and the fact that Li Yuan''s special admission information had been summarized a few weeks ago.


    Therefore, Tan Zhenlong had a deep impression of Li Yuan.


    It''s just that, in his estimation, Li Yuan''s physical fitness would probably have reached 6.6 grade.


    After all, under normal circumstances, the further you get in your cultivation, the slower the improvement in physical quality.


    "In just over two months, from 6.0 grade to 6.5?"


    "And in a little over a month, another 0.4 grade improvement?" Several vice-principals and Martial Hall martial artists were all very shocked.


    A sole 6.9 grade in physical quality? Not enough to surprise anyone.


    Among the many people present, except for Li Yuan and a few other students, almost everyone else was a martial artist.


    The several school leaders present had the lowest physical quality at 9.8 grade.


    In this era, martial artists have a much greater chance of holding positions of authority than non-martial artists.


    Even compared to students, in the senior year elite class, there are several students with a physical quality over 7.0 grade.


    Lin Lanyue, with the strongest physical quality, had already reached 8.5 grade.


    But what was shocking about Li Yuan was the speed of his progress.


    After all, everyone present knew that Li Yuan hadn''t awakened his Martial Spirit.


    He could improve so fast just by practicing the Basic Cultivation Method?


    "Good." Xu Bo''s eyes lit up slightly.


    He often observed Li Yuan through monitoring and knew that Li Yuan had made significant improvements in his physical quality.


    But he didn''t expect it to be so remarkable.


    "Li Yuan," Xu Bo''s voice boomed like a bell, "continue with the other two tests, focus."


    "Yes." Li Yuan wasn''t foolish; he could tell from everyone''s reaction that he performed very well.


    Moreover, Li Yuan was also aware.


    No matter where this mysterious Hall Master came from, this was an opportunity for him.


    "Today, I should have heard before that the Martial Hall comes to inspect the school once a year," the thought flashed through Li Yuan''s mind, "but in the past, they seemed to only inspect the elite class."


    "This opportunity was fought for by Teacher Xu."


    "Many times, good opportunities often only come once or twice."


    Without much thought.


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the Fist Strength testing area, got into position, adjusted his posture, and then suddenly unleashed a punch with all his might.


    "Bang~" Accompanied by a dull explosion, his fist fiercely struck the huge sensor sandbag.


    In an instant.


    The screen above the Fist Strength testing area clearly displayed: "454 kilograms (Action Qualified)".


    After testing his Fist Strength.


    Li Yuan didn''t stay still; after a brief adjustment, he proceeded to the track''s starting point.


    The forty-meter-long test track!


    The white light from above the classroom shone down, reflecting on the dark red metallic track.


    "Hu!"


    After a brief adjustment and taking a deep breath, Li Yuan tensed his legs and his entire body suddenly sprinted forward.


    Whoosh!


    Like a passing shadow, Li Yuan had already dashed across the track, slamming into the buffer wall at the end of the track.


    Tick Tock!


    The electronic display at the end of the track now showed the data¡ª"15.1 meters/second".


    "What fast speed."


    "Could the Life Vitality Detector have made a mistake?"


    "How could Li Yuan''s empirical data be so high?" a series of low-voiced discussions were exchanged among the school leaders and the five Martial Hall martial artists, all a bit surprised.


    Why were they surprised?


    Because Li Yuan''s Fist Strength data and Burst Speed data had both exceeded the 7.0 grade physical quality standard set by the Seven Star Alliance.


    7.0 grade standard: 15 meters per second, Fist Strength 450 kilograms.


    Normally, it''s quite common for actual data to be slightly higher or lower in one aspect.


    Like Li Yuan? Both aspects are higher?


    Unusual.


    "Good." Xu Bo and Tan Zhenlong exchanged glances, smiles appearing on both of their faces.


    "Teacher Xu, I''ve finished the tests," Li Yuan walked back to the center of the classroom from the far end of the room.


    "Old Wan," Xu Bo looked toward Lord Wan.


    "Don''t rush."


    Lord Wan''s face carried an unfathomable smile as he turned to several people behind him, "Instructor Xing, what do you think? Does he qualify?"


    The five Martial Hall martial artists looked at each other.


    "Lord," Instructor Xing spoke in a deep voice, "this young fellow''s physical talent is not bad... it shouldn''t be difficult for him to become a martial artist, but he hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit, so signing him early... might still need to be considered."


    Instructor Xing saw the close relationship between the Lord and Xu Bo, so he didn''t make a definitive statement.


    However, everyone present was shrewd enough to understand Instructor Xing''s real meaning¡ªnot qualified.


    "No rush, take another look," said Lord Wan with a smile before turning to Xu Bo, "Tie Ta, your student''s strongest aspect should be his Martial Arts Skills, right... Let''s test that and see."


    "You noticed?" Xu Bo said with a smile.


    "Life Vitality Detector usually doesn''t make mistakes," Lord Wan said with a smile, "but he has managed to exhibit extraordinary strength and Burst Speed... this suggests he has a very high level of control over his body, and his Vigor deployment is probably close to Perfection."


    "From his walking posture, his Basic Fist Technique should also be nearly perfected."


    "I estimate that his Martial Arts Skills are the strongest among the students at your school," Lord Wan said casually, "and most likely, it''s a case of leading substantially."


    Xu Bo and Principal Tan exchanged glances and couldn''t help but laugh.


    "As expected of Old Wan, your judgment is still sharp," Xu Bo said with a laughter.


    Xu Bo knew that Lord Wan had been in his position for less than a week.


    Without looking at previous data, it was likely he didn''t know about Li Yuan''s selection for the Blue Star youth list.


    "Li Yuan, take out your Long Spear," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and commanded, "Let''s proceed with the skill test."


    "Yes."


    Li Yuan walked towards the nearby weapon cabinet; he had already prepared the weapon in this classroom at noon as instructed by Xu Bo.


    Meanwhile.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but look again at the middle-aged man in the Tang suit, "Such impressive eyesight."


    Li Yuan had also heard Lord Wan''s speculation.


    ...


    Once ready with his Long Spear, the Martial Arts Skills test commenced, with many devices above the classroom activating.


    Li Yuan, holding the Long Spear, stood facing Xu Bo ready for the test.


    "Come, attack me. Show me all that your spear technique has to offer," Xu Bo said in a deep voice, holding a long stick in his hand.


    "Yes," Li Yuan nodded, knowing that his teacher wanted him to reveal his full strength.


    Without hesitation.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s body was like lightning, already showing improvement, stabbing out with his spear fiercely and relentlessly.


    "Clang!"


    The long stick met the attack, striking the tip of the spear.


    If this were a little over a month ago, Li Yuan probably would have had trouble withstanding even this single collision.


    But now, his spear technique had taken another step forward.


    "Whoosh~" The shaft of the spear followed the motion downward, the rear hand pulling back, followed by a strong push forward, causing the tip of the spear to tremble and draw a large circle, seemingly creating dozens of shadow spears in an instant.


    "Teacher Xu''s physical quality seems to be around level 7, attack," Li Yuan charged forth ferociously.


    There''s a saying, ''the spear fears the shaking head.''


    It refers to the bewildering changes when the spear shaft wavers, making the spearhead''s movements unpredictable and marking the most terrifying moment of a spear attack.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    One thrust followed another, a relentless barrage, lightning-fast jabs targeting Xu Bo, each thrust powerful and accurate.


    This was indeed Li Yuan''s newly developed killer move¡ªMountain Ranges and Myriad Forms.


    It was a deceptive attack suitable for a spear technique, also apt for group combat.


    "Haha, not bad," Xu Bo laughed, wielding his stick in his left hand, poking out with each strike precisely timed to hit the spearhead of Li Yuan''s attacks.


    This prevented Li Yuan from fully unleashing his power.


    In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of moves.


    "Li Yuan, be careful," Xu Bo suddenly roared, changing his footwork as the long stick thrust forth like a spear with lightning speed.


    The timing was too good.


    This stick thrust came precisely when Li Yuan''s spear had failed to hit and he was withdrawing his power.


    "Not good," Li Yuan''s spear technique immediately adapted, switching from offense to defense, displaying a proficiency in his moves that surprised the martial artists watching from outside the arena.


    Without hesitation.


    Li Yuan directly employed the ''Solid Rock Pillar,'' standing firm like a massive boulder, fiercely blocking Xu Bo''s assault.


    Dozens more attacks and defenses followed.


    Whew!


    Xu Bo suddenly backed off, creating distance from Li Yuan and said with a smile, "Alright, that''s enough."


    Only then did Li Yuan stop, his vitality boiling within him.


    It had been too fierce.


    Teacher Xu''s attacks, seemingly slow, were actually stable, accurate, and ruthless, leaving him with no power to fight back.


    "But at least, I''ve defended for so long, much better than last time," Li Yuan took a deep breath.


    At this moment, Xu Bo had already fiddled with his smart ring and said in a deep voice, "Skill assessment over."


    Beep¡ª


    On the screen at the back of the classroom, a score appeared¡ª"374 points (College Entrance Exam Standard)."


    "374 points?"


    "That high!"


    "College Entrance Exam Standard, over 370 points?"


    "I remember Lin Lanyue scored only 361 points, right?"


    "Last year, the top scorer in the Martial Arts Skills section for Jiang City''s college entrance exam scored just over 380 points," a few vice-principals were thoroughly shocked.


    Lin Lanyue scored 361 points.


    Li Yuan scored 374 points.


    The difference seemed to be just over ten points, but unlike academic subjects, martial arts scores are more definitive; strong is strong, weak is weak, rarely influenced by fluctuations in performance.


    Once over 360 points,


    Nevermind 10 points, even a 5-point gap represented a clear distinction in Martial Arts Skills.


    A 10-point difference meant that if the two were to engage in virtual combat, the outcome would nearly be a given. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Our school, could it produce a city''s top scorer in a single subject? There''s still so much time until the college entrance exam."


    "Our district''s educational quality has always been mediocre at best within the city," the vice-principals exchanged glances, all harboring the same thought.


    Especially the vice-principal in charge of ''teaching,'' who had the brightest smile on his face.


    "Alright, Li Yuan, put the weapon back," Xu Bo said.


    Li Yuan obediently returned the long spear to its place.


    "Lord Wan, what do you think?" Xu Bo placed the long stick aside and walked over.


    "Instructor Xing? What do you all think?" Lord Wan smiled, still not giving a direct answer.


    The martial artists from the Martial Hall looked at one another.


    "If he can awaken his Martial Spirit, he''ll qualify for a Grade C contract; but without awakening the Martial Spirit, it falls short, though still enough for a Grade D contract," Instructor Xing hesitated before saying.


    In reality, in Instructor Xing''s opinion, Li Yuan was slightly lacking even for a Grade D contract.


    High in Martial Arts Skills?


    Without the awakened Martial Spirit, that''s a significant flaw.


    "A Grade D contract?"


    Lord Wan nodded slightly and turned to say, "Tie Ta, Principal Tan, could I have a word alone with Li Yuan, if you don''t mind?"


    A private talk?


    Principal Tan and Xu Bo exchanged a glance, both seemingly contemplative.


    "Sure," Principal Tan didn''t refuse, smiling, "If Lord Wan wishes to speak with Li Yuan alone, that''s his good fortune."


    "We''ll head out first," Principal Tan beckoned the other school leaders to leave the classroom.


    "A private talk?" Only Li Yuan, who had just walked over, was still confused.


    What''s going on?


    "Li Yuan, this is Lord Wan from the Starfire Martial Hall''s Guanshan branch. Have a good talk," Xu Bo whispered to him.


    Starfire Martial Hall Guanshan branch''s Hall Master? Li Yuan was inwardly startled but remained composed on the outside.


    In his view, this was an important figure.


    Soon,


    The school leaders, martial artists from the Martial Hall, and the three students all left the classroom, leaving only Li Yuan and Lord Wan.


    The classroom door closed.


    "Li Yuan, my name is Wan Qinghe," Lord Wan said with a smile.


    "Lord Wan," Li Yuan was inwardly nervous, unsure of the other party''s intentions.


    "I would like to invite you to join the Starfire Martial Hall and sign a contract in advance," Lord Wan said with a smile as he looked at Li Yuan, "A Grade B contract, an upgraded passive model."


    "The moment you awaken your Martial Spirit, it will immediately upgrade to a Grade A contract."


    "What do you think?"

 Chapter 86: 83 Provincial Hall Masters Command (Extra for 2000 votes)

    Virtual network, Starry Skies Fighting Network.


    In a vast battle space with no audience around,


    two experts with virtual physical quality both at 10.0 were engaged in an insanely intense battle.


    Both were masters of spear technique.


    One looked to be about forty years old, with a burly physique, dressed in silver armor.


    The other was a youth in black armor.


    "Clang!"


    "Clang!" "Clang!"


    The spear technique of both sides was extremely exquisite. The middle-aged man''s spear moves were changing constantly, one thrust following another, flicking, straight thrusting, sweeping, chopping... Li Yuan was forced to employ his Stellar Spear Technique to defend with all his might.


    "Boom!" "Bang!" The long spears clashed like lightning, and occasionally, Li Yuan would counterattack once or twice.


    "Incredible."


    "Fallen Star Stage, as expected, each one is a Fourth Level master, and each one is incredibly tough to deal with." Li Yuan felt unprecedented pressure, but also unparalleled excitement.


    Dueling with masters is the only way to improve oneself.


    If you always fight weak opponents, you''ll eventually become weak yourself.


    Suddenly.


    "Bang!" "Whoosh!" The middle-aged man''s long spear suddenly exploded with power, instantly producing over a dozen spear images that enveloped Li Yuan like an overwhelming force from the heavens.


    These spear images were actually continuous thrusts.


    But because the thrusting speed was so fearsomely fast, it appeared to ordinary people as though the thrusts were made simultaneously.


    "Clang!" Li Yuan''s eyes were strong enough that after desperately blocking six thrusts,


    "Pfft~"


    The seventh thrust from the middle-aged man finally breached Li Yuan''s defense.


    But it was at that moment.


    "Kill!" Li Yuan''s eyes showed a trace of determination and madness, not care the least about the opponent''s spear thrusting towards him, his own spear burst forth without restraint.


    That instant!


    Li Yuan felt that the cooperation between his spirit, mind, and body all reached a new height, with deeper control of his body by his mind.


    [Your spear technique realm has increased from Fourth Level 4% to Fourth Level 5%], the Divine Palace panel notified.


    But Li Yuan had no time to pay attention to this, as his eyes fixed only on the long spear: "Kill! Faster! Even faster!"


    Boom!


    The spear was like a dragon bursting forth from within a chasm, filled with terrifying murderous intent, thrusting directly at the middle-aged man, making his scalp tingle.


    "Pfft!" That dreadful thrust instantly pierced through Li Yuan''s throat and head, and his entire figure instantly vanished from the arena.


    "Sssh~"


    Li Yuan''s spear tip also grazed the middle-aged man''s face, blood spraying in that moment.


    The battle ended, with a victor proclaimed.


    "Where did this little fellow come from, to be so mad?" The middle-aged man stood on the stage, his heart unable to calm for a long time


    "If he hadn''t deliberately reduced his age, he must be only seventeen or eighteen big."


    "After executing three major killing moves in succession, I barely managed to defeat him," admired the middle-aged man.


    In the virtual network, the appearance and age can only be adjusted by a maximum of five years.


    ...


    Starry Skies Fighting Network, personal space.


    "Thrilling!"


    "Haha, awesome." Li Yuan instantly appeared, not caring in the least about winning or losing.


    He was in pursuit of battle itself, aiming to extract experience from the fights.


    He did not expect to soar to 300 points right now.


    "12 points?" Li Yuan glanced at the screen, which showed the segment points.


    Segmented Match: Fallen Star Stage.


    Points: 12 (1,000 points required to participate in the promotion match)


    Win Rate: 22%


    ...


    In the past two hours or so, Li Yuan fought a total of 18 battles, winning only 4 and losing 14.


    More losses than wins.


    "At least, I can occasionally win a match." Li Yuan grinned with a smile.


    Previously, when he was at the Gold Stage and occasionally sanctioned by a Fallen Star Stage master, he was utterly powerless to fight back.


    At least, Li Yuan could now fight back.


    Secondly, after more than a dozen battles, most of the matches were with Fallen Star Stage experts below 500 points, and Li Yuan gradually figured out a pattern.


    "The Martial Arts Skills of these masters seem no different from those of Tian Dazhuang," Li Yuan pondered secretly: "The technical level of most people should not exceed Fourth Level 30%."


    "Given my current rate of progress."


    "By the time of the college entrance exams, I should be able to reach 300 points in the Fallen Star Stage," Li Yuan looked forward to this in his heart.


    This was already much faster than Li Yuan had anticipated.


    Furthermore, through this invitation event, Li Yuan had already pocketed several million Blue Star Coins.


    Having signed a special training contract with Kunlun Martial Arts University, he had enough cultivation resources for the short term.


    Therefore, Li Yuan was not in such a hurry.


    "However, aside from the first 500,000 Blue Star Coins, I will have to wait for the rest," Li Yuan muttered to himself: "I hope nothing goes wrong."


    Otherwise, he would be the one crying.


    ...


    At six o''clock, Li Yuan exited the virtual network, as usual, he went to the Martial Arts Room.


    He began today''s practice of the Basic Cultivation Method.


    Gu Qianghan had not gotten up yet.


    Li Yuan, while standing in his stance and practicing his punches, turned on the light screen projection.


    He directly tuned into Xia Country''s ''Star Realm Channel''.


    The Star Realm Channel specializes in reporting news about the various Star Realms of the Seven Star Alliance.


    When there are no wars, it mainly broadcasts documentaries of each Star Realm; during wars, it often goes deep into the frontlines for live broadcasts, which is very popular.


    What he has been following lately is the ''Second Level Star Realm Rob Sea'' war affairs.


    "Yesterday, news from the frontlines of the Rob Sea Star Realm came in..." the host reads the news one by one.


    Li Yuan listens silently.


    In recent days, Li Yuan, though participating in invitation events, had been closely following the news from the Rob Sea Star Realm, hoping for good news.


    Regrettably, up until today, although the news was full of ''victorious reports,'' there had been no news about Base Three.


    6:26 AM. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "We interrupt with breaking news."


    The newscaster''s voice on the screen suddenly became urgent, "Just moments ago, the frontline support teams of Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall, in conjunction with the combat Mechanical Legion, have for the first time opened up a transportation route from Base Five to the forward Base Three."


    "Base Three has not fallen! It has not fallen!"


    "The military has already organized..." the newscaster''s voice was full of excitement; it was clear he was very moved.


    Outside the screen.


    Li Yuan suddenly stopped his stance and punch training, his eyes wide as he stared at the screen.


    The only thought in his mind was the newscaster''s statement: "Base Three has not yet fallen."


    Not yet fallen!


    "Base Three has not fallen, is my uncle still alive?" An even greater anxiety crept into Li Yuan''s heart.


    Without hesitation,


    Li Yuan began to search for various news about ''Base Three'' on his smart ring.


    Unfortunately, Li Yuan had not yet seen any further news.


    ...


    On the fifth day of the event, there were no assessments, just some tours and explanations.


    According to the schedule,


    after finishing the morning activities and having lunch, all the students would embark on their return journey.


    Around nine in the morning, during the tour,


    "Li Yuan, why do you seem so distracted? You keep looking at your smart ring." Wu Dongdong asked Li Yuan curiously, "Is something the matter?"


    "It''s nothing." Li Yuan forced a smile.


    Li Yuan was incredibly worried.


    If there continued to be no news, even if hope was growing more distant, although worried, Li Yuan felt a steady resolve in his heart.


    Now that he had seen hope, he was even more anxious.


    "Dongdong." Lin Lanyue frowned slightly and gave him a look.


    Wu Dongdong was not foolish; he immediately realized something was amiss and, acting obedient, nodded without asking any more and walked ahead.


    "Li Yuan, don''t worry too much."


    Lin Lanyue walked beside Li Yuan and whispered, "Transportation to Base Three has been reopened, and our Xia Country''s army has taken the advantage and is gradually driving them back, just waiting for a full relief."


    "According to the messages sent back, most of the people trapped are still alive, your uncle should be fine." Lin Lanyue''s eyes were bright.


    Li Yuan could not help but look at Lin Lanyue.


    "On the day you fainted, Teacher Xu told me." Lin Lanyue smiled faintly.


    "Thanks." Li Yuan said quietly.


    Uncle''s situation at Rob Sea, many classmates were aware of it, so it couldn''t be considered a secret.


    ...


    11:00 AM.


    Jiang City, the Jiang City branch of Starfire Martial Hall.


    As the core of Starfire Martial Hall in Jiang City, there were several buildings here, their combined area roughly four or five times that of the Guanshan branch.


    In the most central building, apart from members of Starfire Martial Hall ranked L3 or above and a few service staff, others were not allowed entry.


    On the sixth floor, in a large, traditionally decorated office,


    "Hall Master Fei." Wan Qinghe bowed slightly.


    In the Jiang City branch, there were only a handful of people who could command such a greeting from Wan Qinghe.


    But the black-robed elder sitting behind the desk, around sixty years old, indeed had that privilege.


    He was none other than ''Fei Qian,'' the Hall Master of the Jiang City branch, and one of the top five notable figures of Starfire Martial Hall in Jiangbei Province.


    "Wan."


    "This morning, you submitted an application, hoping to upgrade Li Yuan''s contract from a Grade B to Grade A." The black-robed elder Fei Qian spoke with a smile, "I haven''t replied for a few hours and you''ve rushed over; is it that urgent?"


    "Hall Master Fei."


    "It''s not that I''m in a rush, but I''m worried about unexpected events," Wan Qinghe said, suppressing the urgency in his voice, "Have you seen the information?"


    "I have." Fei Qian replied with a smile that betrayed nothing, "And then?"


    "Li Yuan, except for the fact that he hasn''t awakened his Martial Spirit, excels in every other area at the top level." Wan Qinghe could hardly contain himself, speaking gravely, "According to my investigation, the probability that he will create a successful Law Creation is over 40%!"


    "In the future, there''s a high likelihood of him becoming a 29th Level Prime Warrior."


    "He''s definitely worth a Grade A contract." Wan Qinghe stared at Fei Qian, "Kunlun Martial University directly offered an S-grade special training contract."


    "Although the university''s S-grade contract is not exactly equivalent to our contract levels, it already explains a lot."


    "The key!"


    "I''m worried that if we continue with the original contract without upgrading, the military or Starry Sky Martial Hall might poach him away." There was a hint of urgency in Wan Qinghe''s voice, "Hall Master Fei, you have always been wise, and I hope you will consider this thoroughly."


    Wan Qinghe''s words carried deep implications.


    The black-robed elder Fei Qian chuckled, about to speak when the office was suddenly filled with the sound of the smart assistant, "Master! Important communication! A call from Lord Yang of the Province, would you like to answer?"


    The black-robed elder Fei Qian immediately stood up, his expression turning serious, "Answer!"


    Wan Qinghe standing beside him was also shocked, instantly becoming respectful.


    Provincial Hall Master?


    Like Wan Qinghe, who was only a district-level Hall Master; like Fei Qian, who was merely a city-level Hall Master, there was a clear difference in power and status, but ultimately, they were both Prime Warriors.


    Therefore, Wan Qinghe did not feel excessively afraid of the other.


    But a Provincial Hall Master? That was a truly major figure, the real powerhouse of Starfire Martial Hall in Jiangbei Province.


    Beyond the difference in rank, the more important distinction was the gap in power.


    According to Starfire Martial Hall regulations, the Provincial Hall Master must be a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior, that was an existence absolutely above Prime Warriors.


    "Ding~"


    The communication was established, voice only.


    "Fei Qian." An icy female voice came through the dark screen''s projection.


    "Lord Yang of the Province." Fei Qian became respectful.


    "I''ve reviewed the report you submitted this morning," the icy voice said, "You may give this Li Yuan a Grade A contract, and increase all related resources by 20%."


    "Also, inform him,"


    "If he can break through to the Fifth Level in skill before he turns 20, he will be upgraded to an S-grade contract, with an additional ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal'' as a gift."

 Chapter 221 : 180: Fourth Rank Treasure? Second Rank Flying Serpent!

    From hundreds of meters away, he gazed at the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood at the bottom of the gorge.


    Li Yuan''s heart thumped with excitement, "All three fruits are already showing a silvery sheen, which clearly indicates they are entering the mature phase, and they should not be far from full maturity... And according to the data, a normal Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood only grows three to six meters tall, so why is this one ten meters tall?"


    A Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood that grows three to six meters tall bears ''fruit'' that is Third Rank treasures, invaluable.


    If it''s ten meters tall, what rank of treasure would that be? Logically, it would only be more precious.


    Could it be Fourth Rank?


    "Judging from its appearance, the fruits have begun to mature and can definitely be harvested, though their effect might be slightly inferior," Li Yuan''s eyes were fixed on those three fruits.


    According to the records, a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood might only bear fruit two to three times in its life, each time yielding only 2-4 fruits, and how it grows has always been a mystery.


    This was a Heavenly Material Treasure that could not be mass-produced.


    How much was a Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit worth? Li Yuan didn''t know, because treasures of this caliber were too scarce and rare in the Seven Stars human civilization.


    Most were traded or consumed in private.


    Even if they were put on sale, they typically appeared only at high-end auctions, where the price varied each time.


    For Third Rank treasures of the same level, like the Soul-Nurturing Nine-Leaf Grass, based on the information Li Yuan found, one plant exceeded 2 billion Blue Star Coins at a recent auction organized by Xia Country.


    How much were three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits worth? At least several tens of billions of Blue Star Coins.


    It was absolutely a huge fortune!!


    "I must seize them."


    "Definitely." Li Yuan''s heart pounded with various thoughts surfacing in his mind.


    "Whether it''s for what my uncle needs."


    "Or for my normal cultivation in the future, I need a huge amount of resources," Li Yuan thought to himself, "To a great extent, I can only rely on myself."


    The resources of the entire Seven Stars human civilization were limited.


    Even for the unparalleled geniuses, there was a limit to the support they could receive.


    The ''Stellar Earth Marrow Crystal'' provided by Kunlun Martial University, the S-grade contract offered by the Martial Hall, along with some Heavenly Materials Treasures, were essentially top-level support.


    All added up, until Li Yuan graduated from university, the total value would hardly exceed one hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    There was a vague line to this.


    In Jiang City after the Fish Spirit Tide, Li Yuan had exchanged information with Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, and others and roughly understood this point.


    Some more precious treasures?


    Aside from a few regenerable special resources. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Most of the extraordinary treasures, the top powerhouses of the Seven Stars human civilization didn''t have enough for themselves, so how could they easily gift them to young geniuses?


    Want more? If your strength is sufficient, go out and fight for it yourself.


    What the Seven Stars human civilization desires are strong Martial Artists, geniuses who can gradually contribute to the entire civilization after becoming Prime Warriors.


    Not those who still only wish to take from within the civilization after becoming high-level Prime Warriors or even Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, if a super powerful individual is willing to spend the wealth they''ve earned through their own hardships, even if it costs hundreds of billions or trillions to provide for their children, no one can interfere.


    But the resources directly granted by the entire civilization?


    No matter how talented, what one can receive is ultimately limited.


    ... "The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is fine, but with two Second Rank Flying Serpents around, how can I snatch it?" Li Yuan''s gaze fell on the ground about a hundred meters away from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    On either side.


    Two massive flying serpents were sprawling there, both exceeding thirty meters in length.


    Their claws, wings, and scaly bodies all had obvious differences from those of ordinary flying serpents.


    From their appearances alone, it was clear that they were far more formidable than other flying serpents.


    Most importantly, there were slightly protruding horns on their foreheads.


    These were the marks of Second Rank flying serpents.


    "[Target creature, Life Level approximately 21.3, Second Rank Life, killing yields Spiritual Nature nutrients]"


    "[Target creature, Life Level approximately 21.8...]" Li Yuan, using Divine Palace Inquiry, basically confirmed the strength of the two Second Rank flying serpents.


    Both were Second Rank, and neither was the kind that had just broken through.


    "It''s possible that they have consumed Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit before, undergoing a Transformation, that allowed their minds and bodies to achieve Unity and breakthrough," Li Yuan thought quietly.


    Due to intelligence issues, beasts receive very few inheritances, and the intelligence of First Rank beasts is generally not high.


    Therefore, if the bloodline isn''t strong enough, it is tens to hundreds of times harder for a First Rank beast to break through to the Second Rank compared to humans.


    "Two 21st level Second Rank flying serpents, if I were to take on two at once, I''m fairly confident I could win if a great battle truly erupted," Li Yuan''s eyes slightly squinted: "The key issue is that once a great battle breaks out, there are thousands upon thousands of flying serpents here."


    Li Yuan didn''t care about a single First Rank flying serpent; he could kill one with a spear thrust.


    But at a certain number, combined with two terrifyingly powerful Second Rank flying serpents, it would be different.


    Li Yuan''s chances of winning were close to zero.


    Moreover, the region Li Yuan had explored so far was only a small part of Flying Serpent Valley. In the densely packed caves of Flying Serpent Valley, whether there were more and stronger Second Rank flying serpents was hard to predict.


    "If I openly snatch now, not only would I fail to grab it, but I''d also likely lose my life," Li Yuan pondered silently: "Without my long spear in hand, I can only exert less than fifty percent of my strength."


    "First, I''ll go back and think of a solution."


    Li Yuan slowly moved upward along the vines and rocks, not daring to make a sound.


    Hundreds of meters away were the two Second Rank flying serpents.


    If discovered... Second Rank flying serpents could fly, by then, escaping would be impossible.


    ... Time elapsed.


    Li Yuan did not return the way he came but continued his exploration along the cliff to both sides, wanting to confirm if there were other Second Rank members of the flying serpent tribe within the valley.


    This was crucial.


    Only after more than six hours did Li Yuan avoid many dangers and, with both relief and fear, return to the starting point above the canyon... The sun still hung high in the sky.


    "Serpents prefer the shade, whether in Blue Star or the Star Realm, this is the case, no wonder most flying serpents like to hide at the bottom of the valley," Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    He returned to the concealed spot on the cliffside where his backpack and long spear were stored.


    He checked the ''alert clues'' he left nearby, confirming that no one or Alien Race had passed by during that time.


    He hid inside a small cave.


    "''All Heavens'' Stars,'' Origin Power activation," Li Yuan closed his eyes and silently channeled his Star Meridian, drawing an endless stream of Origin Power into his body.


    He was recuperating from the fatigue of his body.


    Such a prolonged exploration and the use of spiritual power for sensing, even for Li Yuan, constituted a great expenditure.


    "Firstly, I explored about 8 kilometers of the cliff on one side of the valley floor, and other than the two Second Rank flying serpents in the center of the valley floor, there were no traces of other Second Rank flying serpents," Li Yuan thought, summarizing the results of his exploration.


    "Second, the life-nourishing Spirit Mushrooms are mainly concentrated in the central part of the valley, and their numbers dwindle the closer one gets to the sides of the valley... the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood also grows in the center...


    the higher-level Flying Serpents, including the Second Rank Flying Serpents, are all concentrated in the middle of the valley." Li Yuan seemed to be thinking, "Is it all just a coincidence?"


    Based on the information he had, Li Yuan felt that there might have been some special changes occurring in the central area of the Flying Serpent Valley.


    "This kind of all-encompassing diagnosis isn''t my forte; it requires experts to calculate through various data." Li Yuan said to himself, "My goal is to seize the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit."


    That was what Li Yuan sought after.


    However, how could he snatch it from two Second Rank Flying Serpents, not to mention the thousands of First Rank Flying Serpents...?


    "At the latest, in two days, the blood guards from the Tianliang Clan will return with reinforcements." Li Yuan pondered.


    If he wanted to prevent the blood guards from coming back, he would have to kill all the Tianliang Clan warriors that remained, which could possibly scare them off from taking the risk of returning.


    Still, it did not solve the key problem¡ªhow to snatch the treasure.


    ...After a long contemplation.


    "Three paths," Li Yuan had completely made up his mind, "First, I go for it myself, recklessly charging in, with the success rate close to 0, and the death rate close to a hundred percent."


    "Second, wait for the blood guards to bring back the Tianliang Clan warriors, let them fight with the Flying Serpent tribe... There''s a chance to play the fisherman, but it''s also possible to end up with nothing and equally dangerous."


    "Third, report the situation here to the outpost base and request reinforcements, that way, my gains might be less, but it''s safer and more reliable." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Without hesitation anymore.


    Li Yuan took out his smart ring and tried to contact the outpost base, only to discover... the call wouldn''t go through.


    The signal was too poor.


    "Damn," Li Yuan cursed under his breath and got to his feet, gripping his long spear and flying out of the cave.


    As soon as he emerged, Li Yuan stopped abruptly.


    Because, about a hundred meters away, two powerful Flying Serpents, each over twenty meters in length, were raising their massive heads and looking around. One of them happened to see Li Yuan.


    "Roar~" This one, exceeding level 18, immediately let out a terrifying and piercing roar. The penetrative power of its voice was astonishing, instantly echoing throughout several kilometers around.


    In an instant.


    "Roar~"


    "Howl!" In the dense forest, the roars of the Flying Serpents rose and fell in rapid succession.


    Even the sound traveled into the fog of the valley, causing a series of roars to echo through the mist.


    "Damn," Li Yuan gritted his teeth, realizing that by sheer bad luck, the two Flying Serpents were outside his sensory range.


    And just as he emerged from the cave, they were fixated on this very spot.


    Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!


    Several Flying Serpents flapped their wings, their speed instantly soared, and they rushed toward Li Yuan with a howl, as if filled with endless fury.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan didn''t care about remaining hidden anymore. He exerted force with his legs, and his speed soared to a terrifying degree, quickly surpassing 70 meters per second, and breaking through 100 meters per second after two seconds.


    "Rumble~" Under the burst of terrifying speed, the air vibrated violently, creating a series of noises, and along the path, small trees fell to the ground with a crash.


    Countless pebbles flew chaotically.


    ...Li Yuan, at full speed, vanished in a few flashes, shaking off several Flying Serpents.


    But immediately after, his path was blocked by even more Flying Serpents in front. One by one, the Flying Serpents moved their massive bodies, lunging over to attack.


    "Die."


    Li Yuan burst forth without hesitation, his spear leaving a trail of continuous images, and spears of light suddenly erupted.


    Splat~ Splat~


    Li Yuan''s spearhead was small, but when he struck these Flying Serpents, his spear moved at several times the speed of sound... just like bullets hitting a human body.


    With one thrust, if it pierced the head of a Flying Serpent, the head would explode.


    If it stabbed into their bodies, it would leave a huge wound, or even sever them at the waist.


    Not one Flying Serpent could block Li Yuan''s path as he fled for his life.


    ...


    After killing dozens of Flying Serpents of varying strength.


    Li Yuan fled frantically, only stopping after covering over ten kilometers through the forest and feeling no more Flying Serpents continued the chase, slowing his pace.


    Only after escaping another five or six kilometers did he come to a complete halt, sitting on a huge rock and silently regulating his body''s energy.


    "Lucky there were no Second Rank Flying Serpents, otherwise it would have been really troublesome." Li Yuan muttered.


    He looked at his arm, which now had one bar of signal, and dialed the communication line on his smart ring again.


    This time, after waiting nearly twenty seconds.


    "Beep~" Li Yuan finally got through.


    It wasn''t a video call, just a voice communication.


    "Li Yuan, what''s the matter?" The voice of Liu Jing came through the communication, not loud, and somewhat deep.


    "Senior, I''ve basically figured out the situation in the Flying Serpent Valley and now I''m hoping to get support from the base." Li Yuan said earnestly.


    This was the choice Li Yuan had made.


    If he waited for Xue Shu and the Tianliang Clan warriors to fight the Flying Serpent tribe, it might work, but the chances were greater it wouldn''t, and it was extremely dangerous.


    "Fortune favors the bold, but also at the risk of losing everything," Li Yuan recited in his heart.


    Instead of taking an overly risky plan, it''s better to be prudent.


    Even if the gain is a lot less, the advantage is safety and stability¡ªalive, one has everything.


    "Oh? What''s the situation?" Liu Jing''s voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise.


    "After I arrived at Flying Serpent Valley..." Li Yuan quickly reported all the intelligence he had gathered.


    And sent some of the exploration footage.


    There was nothing to hide.


    Since he had decided to ask for reinforcements, informing them of everything he knew so as not to lead the outpost base to misjudge was the right choice to make.


    "Two Second Rank Flying Serpents? Nearly mature Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits?" Liu Jing''s voice carried a tint of surprise, seemingly quite shocked, "There are such treasures in the Flying Serpent Valley?"


    "Correct, absolutely certain," Li Yuan affirmed.


    There was a long silence on the other end of the communication.


    "Li Yuan, I will rush over as quickly as I can," Liu Jing''s voice sounded again, "Before I get there, do not startle anything or go up against the Tianliang Clan''s people, understand?"


    "Understood."

 Chapter 222 : 181 Liu Jings Decision (Add more 3)

    ```


    After hanging up the communication,


    "Liu Jing is personally coming? It seems that this ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is indeed precious enough to make an exception for them," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan was aware that the outpost base had its own operating rules and convincing a First Rank Martial Artist with Fourth Level skills to willingly stay forever in a Star Realm nearly as desolate as The Wilderness was very difficult.


    Moreover, the number of Prime Warriors in the Human Race civilization of the Seven Stars was limited, and there were many directions in which to allocate resources.


    Treasures and materials are resources.


    Powerful beings like Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors are also a resource.


    Therefore, at a place like Outpost Base No. 3, the number of Prime Warriors was limited and they would not take action unless absolutely necessary.


    Otherwise, if they were to die outside, causing a loss of high-end combat power, it could easily trigger a chain reaction that could lead to the entire base''s destruction.


    "Within 1000 kilometers of the outpost base is a line drawn by the upper echelons of Xia Country for the base," Li Yuan mused, "Within this 1000 kilometer range, Prime Warriors can intervene in some special situations."


    For example, when establishing a high-value resource point.


    Or for¡ªHeavenly Materials Treasures worth over a billion.


    Or when targeting a high-value treasure.


    "It''s 900 kilometers from the base," Li Yuan pondered, "If not using a flying vehicle and going at full speed, a Prime Warrior should be able to arrive within five hours."


    900 kilometers across mountains and 900 kilometers over plain are two different concepts.


    "I wonder if Liu Jing is coming alone or if there will be multiple Prime Warriors? Or is he bringing other First Rank Martial Artists, or even some heavy weaponry?" Li Yuan wondered to himself.


    Li Yuan did not wish to think further.


    He stood up and moved even further away, finding a more concealed cave.


    He began to cultivate in peace.


    He still hadn''t practiced today''s "All Heavens'' Stars" "Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture."


    Moreover, his previous cultivation was only enough to slightly alleviate physical fatigue.


    "Five or six hours."


    "Before Liu Jing arrives, I''ll try to restore my strength to its peak to avoid making mistakes in a great battle," Li Yuan closed his eyes and meditated, focusing on his cultivation.


    Of course, most of Li Yuan''s spiritual power still stayed alert to the outside, wary of a potential surprise attack.


    ...


    In the small cave where Li Yuan was cultivating, about two kilometers away, in a quiet and dense forest,


    "That was close."


    "He almost detected me," the figure dressed in a blue-green Battle Garment looked at the disconnected smart ring watch and shook his head slightly, "This kid is really something."


    With a swish, the Battle Garment receded, revealing an age-worn face¡ªit was indeed Liu Jing.


    The one who had been secretly following and protecting Li Yuan was Liu Jing himself.


    Shortly after Li Yuan left Observation Point No. 19, Liu Jing started out from the war base immediately according to the plan, catching up with Li Yuan while he was in secluded cultivation on the cliff.


    Because of this,


    when Li Yuan called Liu Jing, it took nearly 20 seconds for Liu Jing to connect.


    Because he had to move away a bit to avoid detection by Li Yuan.


    Secret protection.


    But one must never let the protected feel this protection, so that they don''t develop a psychological dependence, thus achieving the greatest possible honing and protection.


    "Unexpected."


    "There are such rare and precious treasures hidden in Flying Serpent Valley?" Liu Jing murmured to himself, shaking his head slightly: "I didn''t dare to dive deeper earlier and failed to notice."


    Liu Jing had to admit that even with the enhancement of a special Battle Garment, when it came to Stealth, he was no match for Li Yuan.


    Just now, when Li Yuan explored deeper, Liu Jing only dared to descend about 800 meters into the canyon before he stopped daring to go further.


    Continue ahead? He would likely have been discovered by the Flying Serpents.


    No other way.


    Whether it was spiritual power or skills, Li Yuan far surpassed him, and Li Yuan''s Battle Garment had extremely strong support functions as well.


    "Yet, besides the treasure, there are also two Second Rank Flying Serpents?" A glint of cold light flashed in Liu Jing''s eyes.


    Compared to the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, Liu Jing was more concerned about the presence of Second Rank Alien Race beings.


    He could fully foresee.


    If he did not intervene, the Black Feather Flying Serpent Race would definitely expand wildly from Flying Serpent Valley in all directions sooner or later...inevitably leading to a fierce conflict with Outpost Base No. 3.


    This was the experience he had gained from fighting numerous wars against many Alien Races during more than thirty years stationed in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    That was also the reason for delineating a 1000-kilometer range of influence for the base.


    Only if there were no Second Rank Alien Races within this range could they continue to avoid conflict with more distant and more powerful Alien Civilizations.


    They could keep a low profile.


    If a Second Rank Alien Race arose within the range of influence? Then they would strike down the newly emerged threat as soon as possible!


    "However, facing the temptation of a treasure worth tens of billions, Li Yuan actually resisted the internal lure, taking no risks and staying cautious. That''s quite rare," Liu Jing thought to himself, "His strength is also alarmingly great."


    "The data shows that he''s only at level 16.5, but judging from his progress through battle, he''s probably close to level 19 now...truly mysterious," Liu Jing shook his head slightly.


    Regarding Li Yuan''s specialty, he would report it, but he would not proactively ask Li Yuan, nor was he inclined to delve deeper.


    No other reason!


    It was pointless. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Having been stationed in the Mingxu Star Realm for thirty years, his cultivation had already reached a bottleneck... Liu Jing was quite indifferent to many things.


    In Liu Jing''s view,


    as long as Li Yuan did not betray the Human Race, what did it matter if he had some secrets or fortunate encounters? How was it his concern?


    After some thought,


    Humm~


    Liu Jing activated his smart ring watch and dialed another communication, connecting quickly.


    "Old Liu," a cold female voice answered.


    "I''m now in Flying Serpent Valley..." Liu Jing quickly recounted the situation, only omitting the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood: "This place is extremely valuable, perhaps worthy of establishing another outpost base."


    "Or even a ''breeding area,''" Liu Jing said.


    "A breeding area?" The woman''s voice carried a hint of surprise.


    The Human Civilization in numerous Star Realms and a vast number of Foreign Civilizations were also occupying many Star Realms... Their presence in most Star Realms was solely for warfare.

 Chapter 223 : 181 Liu Jings Decision (Add more 3)_2

    But they would also choose some appropriate Star Realms to send in a large number of ordinary people for reproduction¡­ This is known as the breeding area.


    However, establishing a stable breeding area is extremely difficult.


    "This is just a hypothesis," Liu Jing said with a slight smile, "after all, don''t we in the Everlasting Mingxu Star Realm wish to see more Prime Warriors, or even Flying Heaven Warriors? Only by becoming a breeding area can our outpost become like a regular city, or even ultimately our second homeland." S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "My lifelong wish is to see our Seven Stars human civilization truly gain a foothold in the Mingxu Star Realm, instead of being ready to evacuate at any moment as we are now," Liu Jing declared.


    The woman fell silent.


    Indeed!


    The four major outposts of the Seven Stars human civilization are all ready to be evacuated at any time.


    But while others can retreat, where can the few Prime Warriors go? Nowhere.


    "What do you want me to do?" the woman asked.


    "Bring over the exploration teams, the First Warrior Squadron, the environmental data team, the First Mechanical Squad, the Second Mechanical Squad¡­ All of them," Liu Jing said in one breath, "I want to establish a vanguard camp here and produce an ''investigation report'' as quickly as possible."


    "All of them?"


    "Once lost outside, the alliance won''t replenish our forces in a short time," the woman was shocked again, "Are you so confident? Can you get Han Chong to agree?"


    "That''s why I just need your agreement, two against one," Liu Jing smiled, "Whether he opposes or not, it doesn''t matter much."


    The woman had nothing to say.


    "I''m old, and I can''t fight many battles," Liu Jing said indifferently, "This time we must contend with the Tianliang Clan, 900 kilometers from our base, and only 1400 kilometers from theirs¡­ The sooner the better, to let the higher-ups make up their minds early and start allocating resources here as soon as possible."


    "One day earlier we establish a complete base defense system here, and the Tianliang Clan will be helpless," Liu Jing said.


    He had long had this idea.


    After pondering for a while.


    "Good." Through the communication device, the woman finally agreed, "I will devise a plan as quickly as possible¡­ but with such a large team and many researchers having weaker strength, they all want to arrive without fail. Even with mechanical teams paving the way¡­ It is estimated to take three days to arrive."


    A distance of 900 kilometers.


    Many members of the alien race obstruct the way, and it''s very difficult for an outpost to remotely transport so many people.


    "Good," Liu Jing knew that three days was already extremely fast.


    A single Prime Warrior''s action and the movement of nearly a thousand people are two different concepts.


    He ended the call.


    "Li Yuan is here; with his strength, he should be safe for the time being."


    "Let''s first completely eliminate the people in that Tianliang Clan outpost," Liu Jing frowned slightly, "Li Yuan started killing and asking questions just now, and made such a big commotion that echoed through half of the Flying Serpent Valley. As long as the Tianliang Clan isn''t stupid, they must have already noticed."


    Having already startled the snake in the grass, there''s no need for restraint anymore.


    Thunderous deterrence is the best strategy.


    However, Liu Jing knew that once he cleared out the opposition, the Tianliang Clan might be too frightened to come back, or they might send their own Prime Warriors to contest.


    "We can only take a gamble."


    Whoosh!


    Liu Jing''s figure moved, his Battle Garment appeared, enveloping his entire body, and he quickly disappeared into the woods.


    He made his way stealthily towards the Tianliang Clan outpost.


    ...


    More than ten minutes later.


    "No one left?" Liu Jing looked down at the deserted Tianliang Clan outpost below and couldn''t help but shake his head, "They are smart, retreating so quickly."


    ...


    More than ten kilometers away from the outpost.


    A burly man named ''Logan'' was leading the less than ten remaining Tianliang Clan warriors in a frantic escape.


    "Captain, do we need to evacuate in such a hurry?" A Tianliang Clan warrior couldn''t help but say, "Even if the Seven Stars human race''s Prime Warriors arrive, there''s no need to rush like this."


    They had just been woken up from their sleep by Logan.


    "Captain, what about Carson and the others? They haven''t returned yet," another Tianliang Clan warrior couldn''t help asking.


    They took turns going out for inquiry.


    Therefore, when they retreated to escape with their lives, the three who went to inquire in the Flying Serpent Valley were not able to evacuate in time.


    "Idiots."


    "If the Seven Stars human race has arrived, they must be confident in taking the Flying Serpent Valley. Lord Xue Shu himself has already fled. If they discover us, do you think we can withstand them?" Logan said coldly.


    The group of Tianliang Clan warriors fell silent.


    """


    "I even suspect that the three previously presumed to be attacked by the Flying Serpent were killed by the experts of the Seven Stars human race," Logan shook his head and said, "As for Carson and his two companions? They''ve been messaged. It''s up to their own skill to escape death now."


    "We should withdraw ourselves."


    The many Tianliang Clan warriors dared not utter a sound.


    The direct abandonment of the three made them all feel a chill.


    "Additionally, report this news to Lord Xue Shu, telling him that we risked espionage and discovered traces of a large group of Seven Stars human race warriors, including a suspected Second Rank expert, remember it''s suspected, unconfirmed... This is the truth, have you all got it?" Logan''s icy gaze swept over his subordinates, "I hope everyone can share in this merit."


    The many Tianliang Clan warriors looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes."


    ...


    About 300 kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley, in an inconspicuous gorge, a large number of Tianliang Clan warriors were stationed.


    "Second Rank experts from the Seven Stars human race are here?"


    "The Seven Stars human civilization must have discovered the secret of Flying Serpent Valley," A bizarrely dressed young man named ''Xue Shu'' looked at the message from Logan with cold eyes, "There''s no peaceful way out."


    He had also discovered the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    But it was through analysis of some signs, rather than a direct inquiry into the bottom like Li Yuan, so he was unaware of the existence of a Second Rank Flying Serpent.


    Therefore, Xue Shu had been intending to monopolize the treasure and had been making preparations.


    He had not informed the Tianliang Clan''s higher-ups in the Mingxu Star Realm previously.


    "By myself, I''m destined not to get it," Xue Shu shook his head slightly and immediately switched on the communication device.


    1100 kilometers from the main base, communication was already possible.


    ...


    About 1400 kilometers away from Flying Serpent Valley, there was a small city with a sci-fi feel to it, which, like the ''outpost base'' of the Seven Stars human civilization, was also hidden within large mountain ranges, surrounded by jungle.


    It would not be easily detected.


    Here was the main Tianliang Clan stronghold in the Mingxu Star Realm, where a large number of cultivators gathered.


    Inside the stronghold, in a small meeting room, several figures clad in white gathered, each emitting an extraordinary aura.


    They all surrounded a large holographic projection.


    "The current situation is as follows."


    A figure in casual attire slowly said, "Xue Shu is a core disciple of the Divine Palace and would not tell lies. The Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood is not that important in itself."


    "The key is the large quantity of live blood-source Lingzhi mushrooms. If they could mature and be mass-produced, this would definitely be a treasure trove."


    "I even suspect that there are other secrets at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley, worth our paying any price," the casually dressed figure continued, "My decision is to fight for it with all our might. Do you agree?"


    "Agree!"


    "Agree!"


    "Abstain."


    "Good, six votes in favor, one abstention," the casually dressed figure said, "Execute immediately."


    "Right now, we''ve lost the initiative."


    "The mechanical troops can only be dispatched as backup; we must first mobilize an elite team... Delgado, Mo Li, the two of you will head there at full speed, join Xue Shu and his team and do your best to obstruct the actions of the Seven Stars human race team."


    "Our subsequent forces will arrive as quickly as possible."


    ...


    Time ticked away second by second.


    On the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley, Li Yuan was quietly cultivating.


    After more than two hours of practicing the "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture," he continued his training with the "All Heavens'' Stars," guiding Origin Power into his body, propelling his Physical Quality to further improvement.


    "[Your Life Level has risen from 19.0 to 19.1]"


    "[Your strength, from...]" The Divine Palace panel flashed with several prompts in succession.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan noticed this: "The great battle is near, and my strength has increased slightly, which is good."


    The infusion of Origin Power into the body was not always available; most of the time, he still had to rely on step by step cultivation.


    Another hour went by.


    "Hm?" Li Yuan''s spirit perceived something, sensing a powerful presence getting within a hundred meters, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end and his mind to instantly go on high alert.


    Subconsciously.


    Li Yuan already had a firm grip on the long spear before him, with Star Meridian Origin Power flowing in his body, ready to explode at any moment.


    "Li Yuan," a deep voice sounded.

 Chapter 224 : 182 The Battle Begins

    "Senior Liu Jing," Li Yuan said with a flicker of joy in his heart as he heard the familiar voice and instantly emerged from the dark cave.


    Standing dozens of meters away was the blue-clad elder, none other than Liu Jing himself.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry to confirm that there was no mistake, a 24.2 level Prime Warrior.


    He didn''t receive a Spiritual Nature warning; it was a person of the Seven Star Human Race.


    This was a point mentioned by a teacher in a general knowledge class: when adventuring in the Star Realm, always stay vigilant, never let success and joy cloud your mind.


    "You''ve hidden yourself quite well; if I hadn''t located you using my smart ring, I might have had trouble finding you," Liu Jing said with a chuckle.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile, "Senior, how did you get here so quickly?"


    From the time he had reported in to now, it hadn''t even been five hours.


    "After receiving the message, I discussed it with two other commanding officers and then set out immediately, making my way here as fast as I could," Liu Jing said gravely. "Also, I''ve already checked out the Tianliang Clan dwelling you mentioned, according to the information on your map... It''s already deserted."


    "Deserted?" Li Yuan expressed his surprise.


    "I observed the surroundings just now and found many Flying Serpent corpses around the outskirts of Flying Serpent Valley; they must be from the battle you left behind," Liu Jing said. "I guess the commotion must have scared them off, causing them to retreat quickly."


    "Senior, you''re wise," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    "Alright, stop flattering me," Liu Jing said with a smile. "I''ve already done a preliminary survey of Flying Serpent Valley and can initially confirm the accuracy of your information. There''s a substantial growth of Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi on the canyon walls... I''ve sent a message back, commanding the main force from the base to come here; they should arrive within three days."


    "Senior, that''s impressive," Li Yuan said, genuinely amazed and increasingly respectful. "In such a short time, senior has accomplished so much; I am full of admiration."


    In less than five hours, to have come from the base and then to investigate and explore the surroundings.


    Such dedication!


    "It''s all part of my duties; as a commanding officer, I naturally cannot slack off," Liu Jing replied, unfazed.


    But in fact, Liu Jing had been resting not far away all these hours, adjusting his state of well-being.


    Feeling that his body had returned to peak condition, he immediately sought Li Yuan out.


    "Senior, what should we do next?" Li Yuan asked.


    "Based on the information you provided, if Flying Serpent Valley is indeed suitable for the large-scale growth of ''Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi,'' then it would be worth it for our Xia Country to invest significant resources," Liu Jing said. "Spending hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins, or even more, on building a war base here would be worth it."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Indeed, Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi might not be highly valuable individually, but what if you could produce tens or even hundreds of thousands of them each year?


    In a way, its value exceeds that of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Because the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood can only help a few Martial Artists.


    However, a continuous supply of Blood-Nurturing Source Lingzhi could enable thousands of Martial Artists to grow faster.


    "Of course, I''m no expert; we''ll have to wait for those scientists to come over for testing," Liu Jing said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; professional matters should be left to the professionals.


    "In our next moves, there are some things we need to be aware of," Liu Jing said. "First is the strength of the Tianliang Clan."


    "Didn''t they already withdraw?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    "Didn''t you say that Xue Shu had explored the Flying Serpent Valley?" Liu Jing said seriously. "We must consider the worst-case scenario in encounters with enemies, assuming that Xue Shu discovered the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood too... He perhaps wanted to swallow the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit alone, which is why he hasn''t reported it to the high levels of the Tianliang Clan yet."


    "Of course, there are many contradictions. Even if he is a 19-level genius, it would be difficult for him to defeat two Second Rank Flying Serpents," Liu Jing added.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but nod, this was indeed a puzzling point.


    However, neither Liu Jing nor Li Yuan knew that Xue Shu, lacking Li Yuan''s stealth ability, was completely unaware of the Second Rank Flying Serpents at the bottom of Flying Serpent Valley.


    "Regardless."


    "He has been scared off by you for now, and assuming he reports to the high echelons of the Tianliang Clan, will they come to contend?" Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan.


    "Flying Serpent Valley is much closer to our Seven Stars Human Race''s forward outpost base." Li Yuan hesitated a bit.


    "But the Tianliang Clan has stronger strength and remote deployment capabilities," Liu Jing sighed. "Otherwise, how would they dare to strike at Observation Point 19?"


    Li Yuan''s heart grew cold.


    Indeed, the Tianliang Clan''s forces in Mingxu Star Realm were more formidable.


    "But as you''ve said, the proximity is our advantage." Liu Jing smiled. "Even if the Prime Warriors of the Tianliang Clan want to rush over, it will still take some time."


    "What we need to do is use this time to snatch the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "Although Flying Serpent Valley is highly valuable, that is in respect to an entire country, an entire civilization," Liu Jing solemnly said. "If we achieve a great feat, should we manage to establish a plantation base in the future, as the first discoverers, we will receive a share of the profits for the next 20 years...


    but in the short term, the profits are far less than those from the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "Understood." Li Yuan nodded.


    Flying Serpent Valley was highly valuable, but it would require Xia Country and even the Seven Star Alliance to invest significant resources for it to be effective.


    For powerful Martial Artists? The usefulness was minimal.


    Whereas the three Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits could directly net tens of billions of Blue Star Coins. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "After the grab, according to Alliance rules, you, as the finder, will get 20%, and the remaining 80% will be divided according to our contribution," Liu Jing smiled. "No objections, right?"


    "No objections," Li Yuan shook his head.


    If he had gone alone, he wouldn''t have been able to get even 1%, but now he was guaranteed at least one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, so naturally, he had no objections.


    "You didn''t discuss this with the other two commanders?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "No need to say anything, they can''t come. There are only three Prime Warriors at the base; we can''t all leave," Liu Jing said indifferently. "We also don''t have the time to wait for other First Rank Martial Artists, who wouldn''t be much help anyway."


    "Alright, I''ll follow the senior''s arrangements," Li Yuan nodded.


    With other Prime Warriors whom he had only met a few times, Li Yuan would be very cautious, but he held a good deal of respect for Liu Jing,


    In the face of a Prime Warrior who had willingly defended a part of the country for thirty years, Li Yuan believed that the other party was not likely to betray him over a few Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits.


    Of course, Li Yuan also remembered his teacher''s words: even with trust in others, one must keep a reserve. Li Yuan had his own measures secretly in place, for one must never be without the caution against others.


    In the Star Realm, Martial Artists killing each other was not anyone''s concern.


    "My plan is quite simple," Liu Jing said. "You will voluntarily descend into Flying Serpent Valley."


    "The deeper the better."


    "Your stealth ability is stronger than mine, you''re responsible for sneaking as close as possible to the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood," Liu Jing looked at Li Yuan. "Then I will make a move from high above the canyon, drawing the two Second Rank Flying Serpents and other serpents towards me... You are responsible for taking the opportunity to seize the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruits."


    "After the grab, if you haven''t been discovered, then escape stealthily on your own."


    "Once you''ve successfully escaped, signal me, and I''ll find a way to leave."


    "If you''re discovered after the heist, in the short term, with your strength, ordinary First Rank Flying Serpents should pose little threat to you."


    "Then immediately flee my way, and I''ll lead you out," Liu Jing said.


    "What about you, senior?" Li Yuan hesitated.


    ```


    The plan sounds simple.


    But the biggest premise is that Liu Jing must be able to withstand the siege of two Second Rank Flying Serpents and tens of thousands of First Rank ones.


    "Haha, looking down on me?" Liu Jing laughed, "Although I cannot kill tens of thousands of Flying Serpents alone, it''s very easy for me to just delay them a bit before helping you escape."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling relieved.


    As a 24th Level Prime Warrior and having held a position of power for decades, Senior Liu''s considerations were surely more comprehensive than his own.


    "In fact, if we weren''t pressed for time and worried about the Second Rank Flying Serpents directly destroying the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit..."


    "We could''ve waited for the arrival of the mechanical troops and used heavy weaponry to slaughter the Flying Serpent swarm on a large scale," Liu Jing said, "The Flying Serpent swarm is weak, not worth mentioning."


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    The Flying Serpent swarm is weak? That''s only relative to the war machine of Xia Country.


    Soon.


    Li Yuan and Liu Jing discussed some details, checking time, location, escape routes, and emergency plans one by one.


    They set off immediately.


    ...


    Two suns hung high in the sky, bathing the land in light and making the dense, rolling fog within the Flying Serpent Valley seem to dissipate considerably.


    Clad in their Battle Garments, Li Yuan and Liu Jing had stealthily reached the edge of the canyon.


    Looking down from here, they could already spot numerous traces of Flying Serpents in the gorge.


    "Let''s begin," Liu Jing said in a low voice.


    "Okay," Li Yuan nodded slightly, with his Battle Garment cloaked in black and green to blend in with the environment as much as possible.


    He gripped his Long Spear.


    Whoosh! With a move, Li Yuan slid down along the vines towards the Flying Serpent Valley.


    This was his second infiltration, following a familiar route; it could be said he knew the road well, and his speed was much faster than last time.


    In just two minutes, Li Yuan had descended over 300 meters, completely disappearing into the mist.


    "This young fellow really is formidable, his Stealth abilities... Unity of Heaven and Man," Liu Jing looked down, secretly impressed, as even with his keen sight, he could no longer see Li Yuan''s position.


    Of course, the deeper he went, the slower he moved.


    15 minutes later, the Flying Serpent Valley remained as calm as ever, with only the occasional roars of Flying Serpents.


    "Hasn''t he reached the designated position yet?" Liu Jing was slightly worried in his heart.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ A slight vibration on the smart band on Liu Jing''s arm showed a number¡ª0!


    0, means all is safe, everything is going as planned.


    1, means encountered difficulties, please wait.


    2, means request for support.


    Liu Jing''s thoughts moved and he sent back a "0" through the flashing light screen, then the Battle Garment wrapped around the smart band, turning him completely black.


    Only his eyes faintly shone through.


    Swish! He drew his Combat Saber from his back and, holding a shield in the other hand, Liu Jing felt a surge of heated blood boiling inside him.


    "Haha, it''s been a while since I''ve experienced such a big battle," Liu Jing murmured to himself.


    Without concealing himself, Liu Jing stood up.


    Whoosh!


    Liu Jing leaped from the kilometer-high cliff, turning into a terrifying streak of light plunging downwards, with gravity and his own strength increasing his speed to nearly 200 meters per second in an instant.


    Boom! The terrifying speed caused the air to explode with a roar that spread in all directions.


    The sound made many Flying Serpents on the cliffside instinctively look up above.


    "Boom!"


    Like a meteor collision, two massive Flying Serpents about 300 meters below on the cliffside were instantly split in half by Liu Jing''s descending Combat Saber.


    Blood splattered everywhere, and with Liu Jing continuing to fall down the cliff, the horrific impact caused countless rocks to shatter and shoot out in all directions.


    "Kill!" Liu Jing''s eyes were ice-cold, with a powerful push from his legs, he flashed nearly a hundred meters across the cliffside in a blur.


    "Puchi~" Another Level 18 Flying Serpent was killed midair, its massive body ripped into pieces.


    Flesh and blood fell everywhere.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!" Finally, across the entire Flying Serpent Valley, the ear-splitting roars of hundreds, maybe thousands of Flying Serpents echoed, as if facing a mortal enemy.


    The sound spread rapidly, reaching the cliffs on both sides of the Flying Serpent Valley and even deeper within it.


    At this moment.


    Tens of thousands of Flying Serpents realized¡ªSecond Rank! A Second Rank Alien had arrived!!


    Within seconds.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Flying Serpents burst through the fog, shrieking as their wings flashed, rushing out.


    Almost at the same time.


    On the cliffs on both sides, even more Flying Serpents swiftly emerged, spreading their wings, with sharp eyes quickly targeting Liu Jing waiting on the cliffside.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! The Flying Serpents diving down from above were even faster, each one charging toward Liu Jing.


    "Haha, bring it on," Liu Jing revealed a cold smile.


    Boom! His body seemed to be engulfed in a blazing fire, as if he were a War God!!


    ...


    At the bottom of the canyon, about 1200 meters down.


    A nondescript black and green figure was lurking in the vines.


    "It''s started," Li Yuan held his breath, as Flying Serpents from the caves around him dashed out frenziedly.


    They filled the sky.


    The horrendous number of the entire Flying Serpent swarm burst forth at this moment.


    ```

 Chapter 225 : 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill!

    Boom! Boom! Countless flying serpents burst out from the cave, fiercely clawing their way up the mountain wall with the aid of their wings and talons amid roaring sounds, all at astonishing speeds.


    The flying serpent swarm, despite the lower intelligence of the First Rank flying serpents compared to ordinary humans, had their own language for complex communication within the group.


    In a sense, this was a rather complete flying serpent kingdom.


    This scene made Li Yuan hold his breath. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    During his first exploration, Li Yuan had pondered what scene would unfold if they were forcefully taken... Now, it seemed the level of danger was multiple times that of his prediction.


    Keep in mind that even though these flying serpents were only at level 15, each charge could exert tens of thousands of kilograms of force.


    Those at levels 18, 19, were even capable of unleashing tens of thousands of kilograms of force. With tens of thousands of flying serpents bursting forth, and Liu Jing remaining on the cliff face, his ability to dodge was greatly reduced.


    Right! With a single move, Liu Jing could kill a flying serpent.


    But just as a tiger dealing with ordinary humans, it would certainly be one strike per person.


    If thousands of ordinary humans were to attack a tiger without fear of death, even if unarmed, they would eventually beat the tiger to death.


    The disparity between Liu Jing and an ordinary flying serpent was even greater than that between a tiger and an ordinary human.


    But there were simply too many flying serpents.


    "Wait a moment! The Second Rank flying serpents are still below." Li Yuan remained prostrate in his original spot.


    Because he was holding a long spear, he was a bigger target and easier to reveal.


    This moment allowed no mistakes.


    According to the plan with senior Liu Jing, unless the two Second Rank flying serpents moved, he could not descend to the bottom of the canyon.


    Boom! Boom! In the narrow Flying Serpent Valley resembling a gorge, the sounds of explosions echoed continuously.


    Following that.


    Crash! Boom! Like falling objects from the sky, massive flying serpents, with their heads severed, bodies torn in half, or frames blasted open, tumbled down.


    Their bodies hit the protruding boulders with a ''thud,'' instantly becoming a bloody mess, and then continued to roll downward.


    Countless fragments of rock also began to fall, turning the air above the Flying Serpent Valley into a blood rain for a while.


    ...


    About 1500 meters above the canyon''s bottom on the mountainside.


    This was a slope, also the battlefield specifically chosen by Liu Jing, where protruding stones on the slope were better suited for him to exert force and dodge.


    "Roar!"


    "Growl~" As many flying serpents attacked frenziedly, Liu Jing activated his battle garment and, like a black lightning, easily dodged the flying serpents.


    Even when he occasionally couldn''t dodge, his robust physical quality allowed him to endure easily.


    Conversely, many of the flying serpents, although seemingly large in size, would inevitably die if struck by Liu Jing''s sword.


    Even those that collided with Liu Jing''s body were dealt heavy blows.


    This is what it means to be a Prime Warrior!


    Under normal circumstances, it''s easy for a regular Prime Warrior to sweep away hundreds or thousands of First Rank creatures.


    Numerous bodies of the flying serpents continued to tumble down.


    ...


    At the canyon''s bottom, beside the approximately ten-meter tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, two massive flying serpents slowly raised their heads.


    They had been awakened earlier but were reluctant to leave the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    Two Second Rank flying serpents.


    "Huff¡ªhuff¡ª" Compared to other flying serpents, these were the true behemoths, their bodies stretching nearly forty meters from head to long tail.


    Their midsection was especially thick, with talons like metal cast, gleaming and extremely sharp.


    Most noticeable were their heads, with slightly raised horns as if proclaiming their royal status.


    Flying serpents?


    No!


    As they propped up their massive bodies on their talons, standing ten meters high with wings spread wide and eclipsing the sky, they seemed more like two fearsome dragons than mere serpents!


    "Thump~" One of the Second Rank flying serpents beat its wings fiercely, instantly stirring up a terrifying gust and deflecting a flying serpent''s corpse that was falling from the sky to one side, avoiding hitting the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    "Roar~"


    "Roar~" The two Second Rank flying serpents let out a series of low roars, and from the cascading roars of the flying serpents above, they roughly understood the situation¡ªThe enemy was too powerful, and the First Rank flying serpents suffered heavy casualties.


    "Growl~" Accompanied by a strange roar from one of the Second Rank flying serpents,


    Quickly.


    Boom! Boom!


    Dozens of large flying serpents over 20 meters in length darted out from the caves at the bottom of the canyon. They quickly began to crawl on the ground, prostrating themselves in front of the two gigantic Second Rank flying serpents, as if showing submission.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two Second Rank flying serpents'' bodies shone with blue gleams, and then they shot upward at high speed, their velocity astonishingly quick.


    Flying!


    The Second Rank flying serpents, assisted by Origin Power, flew at an incredible rate, causing shock waves to spread in all directions.


    "Rumble~" The explosion of the two Second Rank flying serpents created a whirlwind that blasted in all directions, passing over where Li Yuan was hiding.


    Li Yuan clung to the cliff face, compressing his aura to its utmost, blending into the surrounding vines as if becoming one with them.


    He knew the critical moment had arrived.


    If he were to be noticed by the Second Rank flying serpents, all would be lost.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two Second Rank flying serpents did not detect Li Yuan as they swiftly swept past and disappeared into the thick fog.


    "First step, success." Li Yuan felt a surge of excitement, and with a flicker of thought, he sent a message to Liu Jing through his smart ring¡ª0!


    0, indicating safety, proceed as planned.


    "Huuff!"


    Li Yuan''s body slowly moved, continuing to feel his way towards the bottom of the canyon, where the entire flying serpent swarm was now focused on the great battle raging above.

 Chapter 226 : 183: Forcible Entry! Kill! Kill! _2

    Who could have imagined.


    A First Rank human martial artist, who seemed utterly insignificant in their eyes,


    was steadily approaching the core territory of their clan.


    Yet there were still a large number of Flying Serpents rushing out of the passage, and therefore, to avoid detection, Li Yuan''s descent speed remained very slow.


    ...


    "Huff!" "Huff!" Two enormous Second Rank Flying Serpents, their flying speed was incredibly astonishing, rapidly exceeding 200 meters per second.


    They burst through the layers of fog and soared into the sky.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar~" The two Second Rank Flying Serpents let out earth-shattering roars, their elongated pupils fixed on Liu Jing on the cliff, swiftly slaughtering one Flying Serpent after another.


    At this moment, tens of thousands of Flying Serpents had surrounded Liu Jing atop the cliff.


    All gazing at Liu Jing.


    With the serpents closing in, the heavens and earth seemed to turn into a dense mass of black.


    Ordinary people upon seeing this, would likely feel dizzy and chilled to the bone.


    "Finally here." Liu Jing revealed a smile, regarding the myriad serpents as nothing, solely focusing on the two Second Rank Flying Serpents breaking through the clouds.


    Prime Warriors cannot fly.


    And now, being on the cliff, Liu Jing would certainly not take the initiative to attack the two Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    Once airborne, without anything to push against, trouble would ensue.


    For Liu Jing, battling and slaughtering these Flying Serpents wasn''t the goal; delaying until Li Yuan safely acquired the "Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit" was.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" The two Second Rank Flying Serpents could no longer contain themselves, their wings trembling, their massive bodies abruptly sprinted forward, streaking towards Liu Jing.


    Claws whooshing.


    "Come." Liu Jing, holding his Combat Saber, stared intently.


    He didn''t have a Divine Palace control panel.


    But his combat experience was extremely rich; just from the two Flying Serpents'' body sizes and velocity, among many other aspects, he could approximately deduce that these two Second Rank Flying Serpents were around level 22.


    At least 2 levels lower than him!


    However, in a battle between Second Rank powerhouses, due to the presence of Origin Power, each one had a much stronger life force. Even with a two-level difference, it was not an impossible fight.


    Moreover, the ability of Second Rank Flying Serpents to fly was an absolute advantage.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" The hundreds and thousands of First Rank Flying Serpents, also under the command of their two leaders, once again crazily rushed towards Liu Jing, attempting to limit his ability to exert his full strength.


    ...


    At the bottom of the valley, the bodies of Flying Serpents continued to fall, raining blood.


    But it was visible to the naked eye.


    The number of Flying Serpents that originally spread across all parts of the valley floor was rapidly dwindling.


    Clearly, a large number of the higher-ranking Flying Serpents had already charged toward where Liu Jing was fighting.


    The distraction plan was incredibly successful and created an opportunity for Li Yuan.


    "Fast!"


    "I must be quick! Liu Jing''s abilities are astonishing, but the cliffside is not a space suitable for his battle. Engaging head-on like this, the consumption of physical strength and Origin Power are tremendous," Li Yuan thought anxiously, accelerating his descent while ensuring he remained concealed.


    He knew that Liu Jing was gambling with his life.


    In fact, if not for the worry that the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit would be destroyed in the battle, Liu Jing, with his abilities, could have entirely penetrated into the depths of Flying Serpent Valley alone... but it would have been even more dangerous.


    At last.


    Li Yuan descended once again until he was about 300 meters above the valley floor, where the fog had completely dissipated.


    He could now clearly see the situation at the bottom of the valley, and this sight left him utterly stunned.


    Because!!


    The two Second Rank Flying Serpents were gone.


    But around that one Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, massive Flying Serpents were coiled.


    Their bodies were particularly immense, each at least 20 meters in length.


    Each massive serpent head was raised high, watching the surroundings vigilantly; their bodies encircled the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood within a hundred meters, encasing it completely.


    Without leaving the slightest gap.


    "Level 19.6! Level 19.2! Level 19.4..." Li Yuan quickly deployed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    This inquiry gave him quite the shock; the Flying Serpents guarding the valley floor all surpassed level 19, the highest even reaching level 19.9.


    They were just one step away from Second Rank.


    At a glance,


    there were more than 50 level 19 Flying Serpents, a truly terrifying guardian force, definitely second only to the two Serpent Kings within the Flying Serpent Valley.


    Facing such a large group of powerful Flying Serpents,


    without the strength of a Prime Warrior to break through, death was almost certain!!


    "What to do?" Li Yuan rapidly pondered in his mind: "With my abilities, it wouldn''t be hard to get past these Flying Serpents... but the key is how to leave?"


    These Flying Serpents were too dense; there was no more room for Li Yuan to move forward.


    He would definitely be discovered.


    After hesitating for merely a second,


    "4." Li Yuan activated his smart ring, sending four consecutive messages to Liu Jing.


    Four messages, four vibrations.


    Four vibrations meant he could no longer sneak in directly; a forceful intrusion was the only option, but there was still hope for success.


    Just two seconds later.


    "Buzz~" Li Yuan''s smart ring vibrated, displaying a message of garbled text.


    It was from Liu Jing.


    One vibration signified¡ªit was time to go all out. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Then let''s go for it."


    "If Senior Liu Jing is confident, then let''s take the risk." Li Yuan''s eyes turned icy cold.


    The current situation was much better than before; at least there were no Second Rank Flying Serpents blocking his path.


    Going after the treasure?


    Sometimes one had to risk everything. Nothing worthwhile ever came easy in this world.


    "Boom, boom, boom~"


    In the dark chasm above, from the area shrouded in mist, came the deafening roars of Flying Serpents, with some still plummeting to the ground.


    Among them, a few particularly sharp roars easily penetrated the thousand-meter chasm.


    Resonating within the gorge.


    Without a doubt, those were the howls of Second Rank Flying Serpents.


    "Can''t delay any longer, with two Second Rank Flying Serpents leading so many others, Senior Liu Jing will only become more strained." Li Yuan clenched his teeth.


    With a shift in posture and aided by the darkness, he continued to probe towards the bottom of the gorge.


    The deeper he went, the darker it became.


    Given Li Yuan''s height and sticking close to the mountain wall...it was nearly impossible for the Flying Serpents to spot him.


    Whoosh!


    Silent and stealthy, Li Yuan finally found his way to the base of the chasm. It was damp and muddy, much like a swamp... but Li Yuan, covered entirely in his Battle Garment, hardly cared about such nuisances.


    "200 meters," Li Yuan whispered, lying prone in the grass, gazing at the massive Flying Serpents in the distance.


    The grass, submerged in mud and water, mostly trampled and disheveled, but it provided Li Yuan ample cover.


    The stench here was unbearable, with thousands of Flying Serpents gathered and the air hardly circulating...the smell could only be imagined.


    Fortunately, the Battle Garment came with an air filter, which to some extent made it less suffocating for Li Yuan.


    "Closer."


    "The closer, the better," Li Yuan thought to himself, "It would be best to get within dozens of meters, then a sudden sprint would catch these Flying Serpents off guard."


    Li Yuan held his breath, inching closer and closer.


    In the sky above, the bodies of fallen Flying Serpents occasionally plummeted, drawing the attention of many of the guarding serpents.


    Which was fortunate.


    Li Yuan and Liu Jing had roughly estimated the location of the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood, so the battlefield Liu Jing chose was not directly overhead, but about 200 meters away horizontally.


    Hence, the falling Flying Serpents were unlikely to hit the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood.


    "50 meters," Li Yuan paused again, as he dared not move further.


    In such an open space, with so many Flying Serpents present, their perception was not to be underestimated.


    Moving closer would certainly alert them.


    "Huff!"


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes firmly fixed on the ''Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood'' behind the rows of Flying Serpent bodies, eyeing the three silver-lit fruits on it.


    Subtlety of the soul! Countless fine strands of Vigor moved.


    Origin Power circulated! The Battle Garment activated.


    The next instant.


    "Boom!" Li Yuan''s legs exploded with power, propelling him like a bullet from a gun, his speed reaching a terrifying level, soaring over 100 meters per second in just one second.


    Just one second.


    In that time, Li Yuan could charge through 50 meters, breaking through the defense ring the Flying Serpents had formed.


    But these Flying Serpents, surpassing the 19th level, also had incredibly fast reaction times.


    In just a fraction of a second, as Li Yuan shot out thirty meters, the nearby serpents were already aware of his presence.


    Instinctively.


    "Ang!"


    "Roar~" Several massive Flying Serpents leapt forward with a roar, attempting to intercept the human shadow blitzing towards them like lightning.


    "Die!" Li Yuan''s eyes were fiercely sharp as his speed burst to its limit.


    Boom! He dodged the attacking claws of two Flying Serpents with the quickness of lightning.


    His Long Spear was already thrusting forward furiously.


    "Poom~"


    With a thrust of his spear, moving several times the speed of sound and unleashing a terrifying force of nearly a hundred thousand kilograms, its might far more ferocious than a cannonball, he tore a massive wound across the waist of another Flying Serpent.


    Blood spurted everywhere.


    Rip! Fully activating his Battle Garment, Li Yuan grazed past the serpent''s ripped-open wound, barreling his huge body to one side.


    And finally, he broke through their defense.


    At this moment, the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood stood only a hundred meters away from Li Yuan.


    "Roar~"


    "Ang!" Then, the Flying Serpents guarding the Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Wood started to howl madly.


    Wave after wave of frenzied, piercing roars echoed throughout the entire chasm.

 Chapter 253 : 203 Requirements for a First Rank Legacy_2

    ```


    He was the true pillar of the sky in Xia Country.


    However, in recent decades, there had been little news of him.


    "Second Class quota? Are there ranks above this for the Martial God Inheritance quota?" Li Yang couldn''t help but ask out of curiosity, "Could there possibly be someone among our peers in the alliance whose talent exceeds that of Li Yuan?"


    "There are some things I shouldn''t say by principle, and you, Li Yang, aren''t qualified to know," Dean Hai said indifferently, "But now that your spiritual power has undergone transformation, I might as well share that the Martial God Inheritance quotas range from the highest, which is Special Rank, to the lowest, which is Third Class."


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    "Under normal circumstances, the elites selected from the upcoming global collegiate Martial Path virtual and actual combat competitions who are making their first trip to Feixing, would typically only obtain a Third Class quota," Dean Hai explained.


    "Then why am I Second Class?" Li Yuan couldn''t help asking.


    "Xia Country is the homeland of the Senior Dongfang Ji, and we hold certain privileges," Dean Hai explained bluntly, "Each year, we can directly select one candidate for the quota. This privilege is unique to the homelands of Senior Dongfang Ji and Senior Lant."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; so that was how it worked.


    Lant was the first in the whole Seven Stars human civilization to exceed the Flying Heaven Level and was historically critical in saving human civilization.


    Dongfang Ji is the undisputedly strongest in our current civilization.


    It was only natural for these two individuals'' home countries to have such privileges.


    "Had it not been for you, we might have chosen Dantai Feng this year," Dean Hai continued.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but smile. Had he taken Dantai Feng''s quota?


    "With Li Yuan''s talent, couldn''t he have directly applied for a First Class?" Li Yang asked, curious.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but glance at his own teacher.


    Is it okay to ask so directly?


    "Li Yuan, do you think your talent is high?" Dean Hai asked with a smile.


    "I wouldn''t dare to assume so," Li Yuan quickly shook his head.


    "Your talent is indeed very high, and your performance over the past year has been nothing short of perfect," Dean Hai said with a smile, "Looking across the entire history of humanity, you would be placed in the top tier at your age, comparable to Fang Hai back in his day. That''s why you were directly granted a Second Class quota."


    Li Yuan didn''t know how to respond for a moment.


    "Your talent is high, but never think that you are the only one who is unique," Dean Hai said with a smile, "In history, at the First Rank, there have been others besides you who possessed Flying Heaven level spiritual power... In fact, as far as I know, someone like Senior Dongfang Ji has the power to elevate the spiritual power of any First Rank martial artist to the Flying Heaven level."


    "That strong?" Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    It was outrageously powerful.


    "Yet having strong spiritual power alone is not very meaningful," Dean Hai explained with a smile: "Even among Flying Heaven warriors, who all have Flying Heaven level souls, many still struggle to break through to the Sixth Stage Skill."


    "An ordinary First Rank martial artist, even with a Flying Heaven level soul, would probably only be able to sustain his status as a top grade Origin Martial Artist."


    "Spiritual power is an amplifier of Comprehension."


    Li Yuan listened carefully.


    "Like you, the reason your skills have improved so rapidly isn''t solely due to spiritual power, but it isn''t the decisive factor," Dean Hai clarified, "Even if your spiritual power were average, with your Comprehension, after many trials, you would also gradually shine, and I believe that reaching the Flying Heaven level wouldn''t be difficult for you, and even surpassing it is within the realm of possibility."


    "It''s just that the growth rate would be much slower than it is now," Dean Hai added with a smile.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Such high praise from the Dean.


    "You''re performing well, but you are still too weak and immature," he said.


    "A First Class quota... will depend on your performance from now on and after your arrival on Feixing," Dean Hai continued, "In fact, for you right now, the difference between Special Rank, First Class, and Second Class isn''t significant."


    "Once you truly come into contact with the Martial God Inheritance quota, you will naturally understand."


    "Although it''s not explicitly stated¡ª"


    "But as a convention, the First Class inheritance quota is granted only to the most top-notch among the countless Prime Warriors of our entire civilization, and there''s an unwritten rule," Dean Hai said with a faint smile, "which is to slay a Flying Heaven level Alien Race being as a Prime Warrior."


    "A Prime Warrior, slaying a Flying Heaven Alien Race?" Li Yuan''s pupils narrowed; was it really that formidable?


    First Class was that powerful.


    What about Special Rank?


    "In the entire Xia Country, only Yu Jinghe has managed to do this," Dean Hai revealed: "That''s why he is called the leading talent of Xia Country''s current generation."


    "Belonging to the younger generation, beneath the Flying Heaven," he added.


    "Flying Heaven warriors, on the other hand, are the real backbone powerhouses of our civilization," Dean Hai asserted.


    "I understand," Li Yuan said, internally shaken.


    To slay a Flying Heaven Alien Race as a Prime Warrior.


    So, this was the standard for a First Class Martial God Inheritance quota.


    Listening to Dean Hai, did it seem like there were quite a few unmatched talents throughout our entire civilization?


    "Combat prowess is one of the criteria, but there are many other considerations, such as potential, age, temperament, and many more," Dean Hai continued, "For exceptional talents like you, there is always a lot of behind-the-scenes assessment going on."


    "Hmm," Li Yuan listened quietly; this was something he had started to realize.


    "The next test you will face is the global collegiate Martial Path virtual combat," Dean Hai said with a smile, "At your age, the difference in strength can be significant in just one year."


    ```


    "You are very young, so if you don''t get first place, no one will blame you."


    "But as a ''Second Class Martial God Inheritance'' nominee in advance, if your performance is too poor, it will disappoint many high-ups in the alliance," Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan suddenly felt the pressure.


    Disappointment?


    Being named in advance represents both honor and expectation but equally means bearing a heavy burden.


    "The goal I''m setting for you is to break into the top ten worldwide, aiming for the top five," Dean Hai said with a smile. "As for higher, that would be too much to ask of you, so I won''t put too much pressure on you."


    Top ten? Top five? Li Yuan silently pondered.


    "What, you seem a little unconvinced?" Dean Hai said with a laugh.


    "No," Li Yuan couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Having fighting spirit is good. If you can climb even higher, I would be happy to see it," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Before the virtual battle begins, the school will give you all the data we''ve collected on Fifth Stage experts."


    "But you also know."


    "A lot of people''s information is confidential," Dean Hai said with a smile. "Just like your breakthrough to the Fifth Stage, most people are unaware."


    "There are many exceptional students who may have undergone amazing transformations after a year."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement; everyone''s experiences and encounters differ.


    He had the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but others might also have formidable methods at their disposal.


    He couldn''t underestimate anyone.


    "Go," Dean Hai said with a smile. "The global preliminaries will start on February 8th."


    "There''s still some time left. Work hard, and you can still improve a lot."


    Before long.


    Dean Hai watched Li Yuan and Li Yang walk away into the distance.


    "Second Class? I thought he could be an exception and get First Class," Dean Hai muttered to himself. "Old Fang really isn''t helping."


    "To not even have this bit of face in front of his own teacher."


    ...


    Li Yang accompanied Li Yuan back to his villa.


    On the way.


    "According to the data we''ve gathered within the school," Li Yang said with a smile, "only you and Jin Huguo have reached Fifth Stage Skill, so all hopes are pinned on you two."


    "Me and Senior Brother Jin?" Li Yuan nodded slightly. Jin Huguo had broken into the top hundred worldwide in his sophomore year last year.


    This year would be Jin Huguo''s last chance to compete in the Global College Martial Path Competition, and he was sure to make a fierce push.


    "Don''t let the pressure get to you," Li Yang said. "The ''real battle'' of the Global College Martial Path Competition isn''t until June, and it won''t be until July that everyone heads to Feixing... With your rate of improvement, even if you''re not as strong as the top few right now, once you reach Feixing, you''ll have a chance to surpass them."


    "Yes, teacher," Li Yuan said.


    Whew!


    Li Yang quickly departed, and Li Yuan stood in front of his dwelling, pondering silently.


    "Top ten? Top five?"


    "Not as strong as the top few?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a hint of light: "It seems that both Dean Hai and Teacher Li don''t believe I can push for the top three, let alone first."


    But Li Yuan harbored his own ambitions. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Clang~


    He opened the door and entered his villa.


    ...


    When Li Yuan returned to Kunlun Martial University, at Starfire University located outside of Xia Country''s capital city.


    Within a vast complex of villas for third-year students, inside one of the unassuming villas.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room.


    "Swoosh!"


    A cold female in a purple practice uniform was silently practicing her swordsmanship. The sword light was elegant, almost merging with the surrounding environment.


    Suddenly.


    "Master, Dean Yu is calling," the assistant A.I. announced.


    "Answer," the woman in the purple practice uniform sheathed her sword and said in a low voice.


    Whew~ A multitude of lights converged, forming a large screen projection that displayed a middle-aged man in a suit.


    "Dean Yu," the woman in the purple practice uniform bowed slightly.


    "Yin Man, I have something to inform you," said the middle-aged man in the suit, his eyes revealing a complex expression. "Our Xia Country''s Second Class Martial God Inheritance slot for this year has been confirmed."


    "It''s not you."

 Chapter 254 : 204: The Virtual Battle of the Grand Competition Approaches

    ```


    "Not me?" The woman in the purple training suit was slightly startled, "Who? Dantai Feng?"


    "No," the man in the suit shook his head slightly.


    "Then Zhu Tong? Yu Mingwei?" The woman in the purple training suit named two more people in quick succession.


    These individuals were the ones she considered to be the biggest threat to her competing for the "Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot."


    Some were from Starfire University, and others from different universities.


    But they all shared three common characteristics: first, they were all from Xia Country.


    Second, none of them had been to Feixing yet.


    Third, they were all juniors or younger.


    "None of them," said the man in the suit, shaking his head.


    "Could it be someone in their senior or fifth year?" The woman in the purple training suit couldn''t help but say, "Principal Yu, isn''t this special privilege spot from our Xia Country normally given to students junior year or below?"


    "Yin Man, don''t rush," Principal Yu soothed, "This person is about the same age as Dantai Feng and also isn''t from one of the top three elite martial arts schools."


    "Li Yuan?" The woman in the purple training suit immediately thought of him, her eyes flashing, "Is that so?"


    Principal Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.


    "Has he broken through to the Fifth Stage Skill?" Yin Man pressed directly, her eyes filled with determination.


    Principal Yu shook his head, "His exact strength isn''t clear yet, but according to the information I''ve received, his spot was directly settled by our two Star Masters of Xia Country, and it''s unchangeable."


    "Most likely, he definitely has made some remarkable breakthrough," Principal Yu said.


    "Two Star Masters?" Yin Man''s heart skipped a beat.


    How many Star Masters were there in the entire Xia Country in total? What had this Li Yuan done to gain such favor from two Star Masters?


    To her knowledge, even the official principal of her own Starfire University wasn''t a Star Master.


    "Indeed, this matter has come upon us suddenly," sighed Principal Yu, "catching us off guard. Initially, the school had planned to recommend you to compete for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot."


    "After all, in terms of strength alone, looking at this year''s global university Martial Path competition, whether in virtual battles or real fights, you should be the strongest, and among all the talents in our Xia Country, you are far ahead," Principal Yu said, "then next year, we''ll push for Dantai Feng to compete for the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot."


    Yin Man listened in silence.


    The strongest in strength?


    Last year, as a sophomore, she had successfully made it into the top ten in the global university Martial Path virtual battles.


    She was the only sophomore among the top ten at that time, just barely missing out on being selected for a Martial God Inheritance spot.


    After all, every year, there are only about ten spots chosen among all the Martial Path prodigies under 30 on Blue Star; the competition is indeed fierce.


    This year, her goal was not only to break into first place in both virtual battles and real fights but also to secure the second-class Martial God Inheritance spot from Xia Country.


    Though heading to Feixing later and gradually advancing from Third Class is possible, it''s much slower.


    One step ahead means being ahead at every step.


    As someone longing to surpass Flying Heaven and stand at the pinnacle of civilization, she naturally coveted the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot.


    "Principal Yu, is there really no chance at all?" Yin Man asked through gritted teeth.


    "There''s no chance, the spot is already confirmed," said Principal Yu, "don''t be too discouraged, aim to steadily break into the top three in the virtual battles, and you''ll naturally get a Martial God Inheritance spot."


    "The difference between Third Class and Second Class isn''t that big," said Principal Yu, "As long as you''re excellent enough, once you arrive at Feixing, you''ll still have the chance to become Second Class and even First Rank."


    "Yes," Yin Man nodded slightly, "Principal, I will work hard."


    "By the way, Principal," Yin Man suddenly said, "this Li Yuan, he''ll be participating in the virtual battles too, right?"


    "Of course, virtual battles are a rare opportunity to hone skills, we''ll definitely have him participate," said Principal Yu.


    He had already guessed what Yin Man was thinking, but he didn''t ask any further.


    Soon, they ended the call.


    "Li Yuan?"


    "Decided by two Star Masters?" Yin Man stood alone in the Martial Arts Room, holding her sword, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness, "So they directly settle on a spot without even watching the competition?"


    "Perhaps this Li Yuan is outstanding, but they didn''t even give me a chance."


    "Fine."


    "Then let me see just how strong this Li Yuan is." Yin Man felt a nameless anger burning within her.


    As Starfire University''s top junior and perhaps even the top student of her year globally, she was extremely proud.


    Geniuses, by nature, don''t like to admit defeat.


    If she lost in a fair competition, she would accept it wholeheartedly.


    Even if their strengths were close, she would acknowledge it because, after all, she was two years older than Li Yuan.


    But without even competing? Naturally, she felt discontented.


    "Swish swish~" Streams of sword light blossomed, the sword''s energy surged violently, fiercely unyielding.


    In an instant, shocking cracks appeared on the four walls of the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ...


    Yin Man wasn''t the only one who received the message at the same time, hoping to vie for first place in the virtual battles.


    There were other top-tier geniuses from Xia Country as well.


    For example¡ªDantai Feng.


    "Principal Yu, are you saying that our Xia Country''s special privilege spot has already been decided?" Dantai Feng, looking at the suited man on the screen, couldn''t help but ask, "Yin Man?"


    The first person he thought of was Yin Man.


    "No," Principal Yu shook his head.


    "Then it''s Li Yuan," Dantai Feng said with a smile, "It couldn''t be wrong."


    "You guessed correctly," laughed Principal Yu.


    "It wasn''t hard to guess," Dantai Feng shrugged, "In terms of strength, Yin Man is the strongest... but in terms of potential, Li Yuan broke through half a month earlier than I did, and just looking at the speed of progress over the past year and a half, he has been much faster than me."


    "If you say that he is stronger than me in skill level now, I would acknowledge it."


    "Choosing him doesn''t surprise me."


    "Moreover, according to tradition, we would normally wait until the real battle ends to confirm, but now with the virtual battles yet to start, two Star Masters have already confirmed him, and if nothing unexpected happens, he surely must have done something astonishing," Dantai Feng said with a laugh.

 Chapter 279 : 213: Clash of the Titans! The Strongest on the Battlefield! (Extra 17)_4

    "Li Yuan is good at defense."


    "If it were a tournament with a need to determine a winner, then Hoffman would undoubtedly lose... But this is a melee battle, while Li Yuan can easily defend, he can''t force Hoffman into a fight to the death," observed those Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher-level Spectator Space easily identifying this fact.


    Their realms were too high, at least at the Fifth Stage Perfection skill level.


    They could tell that Li Yuan''s realm was somewhat superior, but his strength lay in defense, without a fundamental difference from Hoffman.


    "This battle looks like it''s going to end in a draw," Dean Xu murmured quietly.


    "That''s enough," Li Yang was extremely satisfied, smiling and saying, "How long has Li Yuan just stepped into the Fifth Stage? In less than two months, he''s already reached the limit of the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage."


    "With such strong defense, he can already aim for the top ten, or even top five," Li Yang''s eyes shone brightly.


    The power Li Yuan revealed was stronger than he had expected.


    "Hmm, strong defense gives a significant advantage during the final tournament battles," Dean Xu couldn''t help but nod in agreement.


    ...


    In the continuous mountain forests of the Seventh Star Realm battlefield.


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and Hoffman were still fighting fiercely.


    The terrifying aftershocks of their battle resonated for several kilometers around, even attracting other still-alive contestants on the battlefield, but upon seeing the combatants, no one dared to approach.


    They all stayed at least seven or eight hundred meters away to watch the battle.


    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Hoffman''s Sword Technique flowed like water, tilting onto Li Yuan''s Spear Technique defense circle time after time, but each time it was in vain.


    Yet, he continued his fierce attacks.


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan was fully defending, interpreting the core mystery of the Stellar Spear Technique, ''Stellar Illumination,'' to its utmost extent.


    As if he were a star himself!


    He stood unshakable on the earth.


    Gradually, Li Yuan felt a strange fluctuation.


    "Stellar Illumination, Illumination!"


    "The Meaning of the Stellar, like faint rays of light that blossom, when the glow congregates, it''s like the stars." Li Yuan executed his Spear Technique time after time, clashing madly with Hoffman,


    and such a fierce battle with a high-level opponent of the same rank was something Li Yuan hadn''t experienced in a long time.


    Hoffman''s Sword Technique provoked thought after thought about past practices of Li Yuan''s Spear Technique.


    "Starlight!"


    "Brightness!" Li Yuan finally caught the fleeting inspiration in his heart, fully understanding the key to the third layer of the ''Meaning of the Stellar'': ''Galactic Convergence.''


    Suddenly,


    "Boom!" The Long Spear in Li Yuan''s hand suddenly transformed, the Spear Light flickered, becoming even more dazzling, like streaks of galaxies crossing the sky, from one wisp of starlight to the next.


    The Meaning of the Stellar¡ªGalaxy!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The terrible Spear Technique burst forth, one thrust after another, like a reversing galaxy, with boundless might, instantly switching from defense to offense, fiercely assaulting Hoffman.


    "Clang!"


    The first clash changed Hoffman''s expression; he could clearly feel that Li Yuan''s Spear Technique had changed, become faster, and contained greater might... This was a clear Transformation.


    Followed by the second thrust, the third, the fourth... The terrifying might within the Spear Technique completely crushed him.


    The two were no longer on the same level.


    "Retreat!"


    "Escape!" The thought flashed through Hoffman''s mind as he tried to flee far away.


    He had already abandoned the idea of killing Li Yuan.


    Boom!


    But as he retreated, Li Yuan''s Burst Speed was even faster, his figure darting forward, speed soaring past 80 meters per second, as the Long Spear whooshed in for another Straight Thrust.


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! After several lightning-fast collisions,


    "Rip!" A thrust passed by, Hoffman''s arm was blown off, blood splattered.


    Whoosh~


    Another thrust came like lightning.


    "Pfft!"


    The spear tip directly passed through Hoffman''s neck, gone in a flash before blood even had time to flow.


    Phew!


    Li Yuan had already darted dozens of meters away, stopping briefly before directly heading into the distance. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The outcome was decided!


    Meanwhile, Hoffman tried to grasp his own neck, but blood spilled, his mouth opened, but no sound came out.


    Clang~ Clang~ The last knife fell to the ground.


    Thump~


    Hoffman''s body fell heavily to the ground!


    This battle ended with Li Yuan''s victory, and also announced the birth of the strongest in the Seventh Star Realm.


    ...


    "A spear as grand as the galaxy!"


    "This! This is unbelievable!"


    "He''s just a freshman, right? And probably only eighteen and a half years old? His Spear Technique has already reached this level?"


    "Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage!! A freshman has achieved this level?" Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors and thousands of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists from around the globe in that higher-level Spectator Space were astonished.

 Chapter 280 : 214: The Schools Expectations (Extra 18)

    If the initial clash between Li Yuan and Hoffman only made these Flying Heaven Warriors and Top Grade Origin Martial Artists raise their eyebrows without too much surprise,


    then when they saw Li Yuan unleash the ''Milky Way Convergence'' True Intent of Spear Technique and easily defeat Hoffman,


    including dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors, everyone in this higher-tier Spectator Space was amazed and even shocked.


    Technique advancement becomes increasingly difficult the further one progresses.


    Yin Man, Harmon, Hoffman, Jin Huguo, Kunale, and others who could be considered top geniuses of Blue Star¡ªordinarily, Blue Star would produce only ten to twenty such geniuses a year.


    Most of them only need a little over a year to advance from intial entry into the Fourth Level to achieving Subtlety in the spirit.


    And from spiritual Subtlety to the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage?


    With their higher Physical Quality and average spiritual power reaching above level 20, most of them also require over a year.


    How about progressing from the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage to breaking through to the Intermediate Rank? The pace would be even slower.


    After all, Initial Rank Fifth Stage techniques are already sufficient to establish one as a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    Then moving on to the Fifth Stage High Rank, Fifth Stage Perfection... each step forward, the difficulty increases exponentially.


    Under normal circumstances, for these top geniuses of Blue Star, being able to reach Fifth Stage Perfect Skill within the next ten years (before the age of 30), the baseline for becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior... would be considered a great success.


    Even many will be stuck at the Fifth Stage High Rank.


    Progressing in skill is not something that can be achieved just by spending time on it.


    Many so-called Martial Path geniuses hit a limit at some point and often find themselves unable to break through the bottleneck, because those bottlenecks are usually their talent bottlenecks as well.


    From the Fifth Stage to the Sixth Stage? It''s as difficult as reaching for the heavens.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors, as dazzling in their youth as Harmon and the others, achieving Fifth Stage Perfection as Prime Warriors, still could not break through the Sixth Stage techniques even after their transformation into the Flying Heaven Level souls upon entering the Flying Heaven Realm.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors in human civilization haven''t even reached Sixth Stage technique standards.


    What about Li Yuan? How old is he really?


    "It''s rare enough for Yin Man and Harmon to have reached the Fifth Stage in their sophomore year, with maybe one or two appearing in the Blue Star competition each year, and some years not even one."


    "Someone like Dantai Feng, we might see emerge from Blue Star only every few years, and that''s quite remarkable."


    "Li Yuan is even more monstrous. He''s younger than Dantai Feng and progressing even faster. It''s been what, just three months since he achieved spiritual Subtlety? That''s too fast."


    "Could he be at the same genius level as Fang Hai?"


    "I feel he''s stronger than Yu Jinghe!"


    "Yu Jinghe''s performance in the Blue Star competition years ago was only slightly better than Dantai Feng''s, but not by this much."


    "Xia Country, is it about to produce another Star Master?"


    "Become a Star Master? I doubt it!" Many Flying Heaven Warriors could not help but discuss and even argue among themselves.


    In the face of Dantai Feng, they could still maintain a somewhat condescending attitude, quite composed.


    But Li Yuan? Too monstrous.


    Achieving the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage in his freshman year, since the establishment of the Martial Path entrance exam on Blue Star, there have been very few with such accomplishments.


    "No wonder the Star Master came to watch Li Yuan."


    "The Star Master indeed has foresight." Many Flying Heaven Warriors couldn''t help but look towards the figure in black.


    Suddenly.


    Buzz~ The mysterious figure in black sitting in the seat vanished into thin air.


    Clearly, he had seen what he wanted to in this melee.


    "Heh heh."


    "Gentlemen." Dean Hai smiled faintly: "He is a student I have taught."


    "Old Hai, you''ve hit the jackpot!"


    "What dumb luck."


    "I have to go back and check why we at Starry Sky University didn''t recruit him." the other Flying Heaven Warriors couldn''t help but tease.


    They were the backbone of humanity''s defense, and although they nominally belonged to different countries and powers, most had good relations with each other, many even being close as life-and-death comrades.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors were well aware that, when facing Alien Civilizations, they had only one label on them¡ªhumans of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    ...


    "Real dog luck."


    Li Yang, listening to Dean Hai boast, couldn''t help but mutter under his breath, "His teaching? What did he teach? Wasn''t it us who toiled in sparring?"


    "He just spends his days fishing by the lake." Li Yang kept on complaining.


    "If you have such a big complaint, should I go and report it to Dean Hai?" Dean Xu said with a smile.


    "There''s no need for that, sis." Li Yang laughed: "Complaints aside, all in jest, I won''t joke about my future."


    Dean Xu shook her head with a smile, understanding Li Yang''s character.


    "Li Yuan''s Spear Technique is indeed terrifying." Dean Xu looked at the screen showing Li Yuan and couldn''t help but remark, "At the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, even for someone with a Flying Heaven Level soul, this progress is too fast."


    "Indeed, it''s ridiculously fast." Li Yang couldn''t help but add.


    A Flying Heaven Level soul? That''s just an aid.


    The key lies in Li Yuan''s own astonishing Comprehension Transformation.


    "With such speed in progression, I''d believe it if he surpasses us next year." Li Yang said.


    Dean Xu slightly nodded.


    The two of them were both at the Fifth Stage High Rank skill.


    Merely in terms of skill level, compared to the current Li Yuan, they already had no overwhelming advantage.


    "Can he challenge for first place?" Dean Xu''s eyes held a flicker of light.


    "Hard to say." Li Yang shook his head slightly: "So far, Nevsky of Ross Country has revealed Fifth Stage Intermediate strength...Harmon, Yin Man, a few others, might have broken through, or perhaps not." S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "We can only say, Li Yuan has a good chance," Li Yang said: "After all, there are still ten days until the finals."


    "With Li Yuan''s rate of progress, ten days might be worth several months to the others."


    Both harbored a trace of anticipation.


    The champion of virtual combat?

    Chapter 301: Chapter 226: The Clash of Titans! The Terrifying Li Yuan! (Double Chapters for Monthly Votes)_2


    ¡°Champion!¡±


    ¡°Big brother, seize the first place.¡± The students of Kunlun Martial University were even more excited; this thrilling duel made them truly see the possibility of Li Yuan winning the championship.


    Compared to Jin Huguo¡¯s ¡°stumbling,¡± Li Yuan was indeed overpowering and invincible, sweeping through the melee to the top twenty, and then to the top ten, all the way.


    This feeling of domineering and powerful progression in the Blue Star competition was something all students of Kunlun Martial University had never experienced before.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Once he bursts forth, his attack is so terrifying, but what about defense? The Meaning of the Stellar is best known for defense.¡±


    ¡°Bai Chuanming definitely did not force him into his strongest defensive state.¡± Yin Man, Nevsky, Harmon, and other martial arts geniuses aspiring for first place felt the pressure and silently considered what to do if they faced Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    In a higher Spectator Space. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°His progress is really too fast.¡±


    ¡°Does he look like someone who just broke through to the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage a week ago? It¡¯s more like he has been at it for a year.¡±


    ¡°His Spear Technique operates at will, his spear art has reached the Subtlety realm.¡±


    ¡°Looking at his information, at the beginning of last October, he had just entered Subtlety? And he reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage during this melee? With such a performance now?¡±


    ¡°Amazing!¡±


    ¡°Truly monstrous, no wonder the Star Master values him so much.¡± The hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors who came to watch the battle were initially not very familiar with Li Yuan.


    But after being ¡®educated¡¯ by other Flying Heaven Warriors and looking up some information on Li Yuan, they were one after another shocked.


    ¡°Star Master.¡±


    ¡°In terms of talent, he is even more terrifying than Yu Jinghe, definitely one of the top geniuses in human history.¡±


    ¡°In the history of Xia Country, he could rank within the top three.¡± This nearly became a consensus among these Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Perhaps, Li Yuan¡¯s real strength was still very weak.


    But the speed of his skill improvement was exaggerated to the extreme.


    ¡°The Star Master hasn¡¯t arrived.¡±


    ¡°It seems the Star Master won¡¯t come, but let¡¯s still watch and see how far Li Yuan can go.¡±


    ¡°See if he can seize the championship.¡± Some Flying Heaven Warriors didn¡¯t care about any new talents emerging; they were there for the Star Master.


    This was also the mentality of most powerhouses: a genius? Let¡¯s talk when they¡¯re strong.


    However, after seeing Li Yuan, many Flying Heaven Warriors changed their minds, became interested, and wanted to stay and watch a while longer.


    After all.


    Like the regular top ten in the virtual battles of the Blue Star competition, even if they grow, most eventually are about the same level as these Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Li Yuan? Once he grows up, he is destined to become one of the most terrifying existences among the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Even a¡­ Demigod!!


    ¡­


    Amidst these exchanges among the Flying Heaven Warriors, the other four battles of the top ten warriors were successively held.


    The second round¡¯s second battle, Yin Man versus Raja.


    This battle, with Yin Man still wielding just one sword, nevertheless bulldozed over Tianzhu Country¡¯s supreme talent ¡®Raja.¡¯


    After trading over a hundred moves.


    A flash of swordlight swept across Raja¡¯s head, accompanied by a splash of fresh blood, ending the battle.


    ¡°Yin Man!¡±


    ¡°The second name in the top five still belongs to our Xia Country.¡± The Xia Country spectators grew increasingly excited.


    The participants from Xia Country won both of the first two matches.


    ¡°It seems that Raja is really no match for this woman from Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°Raja is done for.¡± Nearly a million spectators from Tianzhu Country were somewhat disappointed.


    No matter how confident they were, facing such an overwhelming victory, they could no longer claim Raja lost due to carelessness.


    After all, Yin Man had only drawn one sword.


    ¡°Won.¡±


    ¡°Top five.¡± But not a trace of a smile could be seen on Yin Man¡¯s face; her mind was locked onto one goal: ¡°First place! Take down the first place!¡±


    Li Yuan was very powerful.


    But Yin Man still had ample confidence in her own strength.


    ¡­


    The third match, Nevsky against Jin Huguo.


    Anyone who had made it into the top ten had defeated at least one Fifth Stage master; Jin Huguo¡¯s strength was beyond question.


    However, facing the powerful Nevsky, Jin Huguo still lost the fight without question.


    One axe blow followed another, his speed in no way inferior to Jin Huguo¡¯s Sword Technique.


    But the explosive strength was even more terrifying.


    In the end, in a head-on battle, Jin Huguo withstood eighteen axe strikes before dying in battle.


    ¡°Lost.¡±


    ¡°Lost in a head-to-head clash.¡± Jin Huguo accepted his defeat wholeheartedly: ¡°Even if I hadn¡¯t fought Nevsky, in the end, I couldn¡¯t have won against brother Li Yuan or Yin Man¡­ I ultimately wouldn¡¯t make it into the top three.¡±


    ¡°Top ten, top five, it doesn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    ¡°Top ten, that¡¯s good enough.¡± Jin Huguo returned to the Spectator Platform with a smile on his face.


    What welcomed him was cheering from tens of thousands of Kunlun Martial University students.


    Making it into the top ten in the virtual battle was enough to leave one¡¯s name in the annals of Kunlun Martial University¡¯s history.


    Even without Li Yuan, just with Jin Huguo¡¯s performance alone, it was enough to dramatically boost Kunlun Martial University¡¯s prestige in Xia Country once again.


    ¡°Brother Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s up to you now.¡± Jin Huguo looked over at Li Yuan, who still remained in the ¡®waiting area¡¯ of the arena.


    ¡­


    The fourth match, Harmon versus Dantai Feng.


    This was also a highly anticipated fight, as Dantai Feng, being a first-year student, had a great reputation, and even Li Yuan couldn¡¯t overshadow his radiance.


    As for Harmon? He was the only remaining super expert from the United States.


    The two quickly erupted into a clash.


    Dantai Feng used a sword and shield combo, whereas Harmon wielded a pure heavy saber, somewhat similar to Tian Dazhuang.


    For the first dozens of strikes, Dantai Feng was able to resist using his Shield Technique, but Harmon also took note of this.


    ¡°If I gave you another year, I definitely wouldn¡¯t be your match.¡± Harmon revealed a grin, ¡°But this year¡¯s protagonist is not destined to be you.¡±


    ¡°However, you are worthy of experiencing my utmost strength.¡±¡®


    Whoosh!


    Harmon fully erupted, his Combat Saber suddenly bursting forth, its blade light streaking across the Vast Sky like lightning, cleaving towards Dantai Feng.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡± After thirteen lightning-fast exchanges, Dantai Feng could no longer hold his ground. A terrifying slash of light struck his combat saber, sending it flying from his grasp. Following swiftly, another slash crushed him directly.


    Dantai Feng, defeated.


    ¡°Making it to the top five, forcing me to unleash all my strength,¡± Harmon muttered to himself, ¡°It¡¯s time to strive for the first place.¡±


    In his heart, he harbored an equally intense desire for that top position.


    ¡­ ¡°Fifth Stage, Intermediate Rank!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it is the Fifth Stage, Intermediate Rank,¡± Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Nevsky all revealed a hint of seriousness on their faces.


    Harmon, the martial arts prodigy who had shone brightly in last year¡¯s competition, had indeed risen to a new level after another year of concealed cultivation.


    ¡­


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    ¡°In previous years, an Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage would certainly make it into the top three. This year, even the top three isn¡¯t safe.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yin Man, Nevsky, Harmon, the victors of the first four rounds are all at the skill level of Fifth Stage, Intermediate Rank.¡±


    ¡°How rare.¡± The Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher spectating layers were chatting casually among themselves, all looking very relaxed.


    ¡­


    The fifth match, which was also the last match of the second round, unfolded between Alicia and Amos.


    This battle.


    It was exceptionally fierce, as both sides clashed for a thousand moves before Alicia narrowly secured victory.


    ¡°I won!¡±


    ¡°Can I, a student from a non-top-tier martial arts university without an awakened Martial Spirit, really make it into the top five of the Blue Star competition?¡± Alicia¡¯s face was pale on the platform.


    She had been perilously close to losing just moments ago.


    But in the end, she stood victorious, claiming the last spot in the top five.


    ¡­


    ¡°Congratulations to them.¡±


    ¡°After five intense rounds of competition.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yin Man, Nevsky, Harmon, Alicia¡ªthese are the top five masters of this year¡¯s Global Martial Arts University Virtual Battle!¡± the announcer¡¯s voice was filled with excitement, ¡°Wow, among these five prodigies, we have the unparalleled genius ¡®Li Yuan¡¯ known throughout the world since his first year.¡±


    ¡°We have Alicia from an ordinary Martial Arts University.¡±


    ¡°And last year¡¯s shining stars Yin Man, Harmon, Nevsky¡­ In short, each of the top five prodigies is extraordinary.¡±


    ¡°And they will soon bring us the ten most pinnacle duels!!¡±


    ¡°The final battle¡ªa fight to the death round-robin!¡±


    ¡°Each contestant will face off against every other genius, and the one with the most victories will be the champion of this virtual battle.¡±


    ¡°If there are participants with the same number of wins, a tiebreaker will be held.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡°I announce that the final battle is about to begin,¡± announced the man in black excitedly, ¡°The first match, Yin Man versus Harmon.¡±


    ¡­


    At this moment.


    Whether it was the Flying Heaven Warriors seated high above or the millions of spectators, everyone was watching intently.


    Everyone knew that the upcoming ten bouts would be the pinnacle of the entire virtual battle.


    Each one would determine the final champion.


    ¡°Yin Man, Harmon, both are high-level masters of Fifth Stage, Intermediate Rank,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were gleaming, ¡°They are the obstacles in my pursuit of first place.¡±


    At the start of the virtual competition, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t very confident about securing first place.


    Now?


    While failing to win wouldn¡¯t affect him¡ªhe was only a first-year student and had already obtained his spot in the Martial God Inheritance, to have made it to the top five was already a miracle¡ªLi Yuan still harbored longing.


    After all, Li Yuan¡¯s strongest move hadn¡¯t even been revealed yet.


    ¡­


    On the dueling platform, the bout between Yin Man and Harmon had already begun, with both competitors going all out from the start.


    Yin Man finally revealed her greatest strength in this match¡ªdual swords!


    Her eruption was sky-shattering, dazzling all around.


    ¡°What?¡± Harmon, who had been full of confidence, was instantly dumbfounded.


    Streams of sword light enveloped his entire field of view in an instant, easily blocking all his attacks, and then swiftly counterattacking.


    Fast! Fast!


    The sword light surged like a tide.


    With dual swords in hand, Yin Man¡¯s strength had increased more than twofold from before?


    She completely overwhelmed Harmon.


    ¡°So strong?¡±


    ¡°Is this Yin Man?¡±


    ¡°Harmon is also at Fifth Stage, Intermediate Rank, yet he¡¯s being utterly suppressed?¡± Whether it was the yet-to-fight Nevsky, Alicia, or those who were already watching from the Spectator Platform like Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, Bai Chuanming, and other prodigies, shock was written all over their faces. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Such swordsmanship is formidable.¡±


    ¡°This Yin Man might genuinely take first place.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s defense is strong, but he might not be able to withstand Yin Man¡¯s outburst.¡±


    ¡°In terms of skill level alone, Yin Man should be first,¡± even the group of Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher-level Spectator Space couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in admiration.


    They had all recognized the terror of Yin Man.


    Perhaps Yin Man and Harmon were both at Fifth Stage, Intermediate Rank, but as Li Yuan once said, ¡®Can Fifth Stage at 30%, 40%, and 50% skill levels be the same?¡¯


    Clearly, Yin Man had come a long way within Fifth Stage, Intermediate Rank, far surpassing Harmon, who had recently broken through.


    ¡°First place.¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, Yin Man is the absolute first of the virtual battle,¡± the ¡®Vice Principal¡¯ from Starfire Martial University privately sighed, ¡°Yin Man has made significant progress this year.¡±


    That¡¯s why before Li Yuan¡¯s rise.


    Even with Dantai Feng, the higher-ups at Starfire Martial University had preferred to give the ¡®Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot¡¯ to Yin Man.


    It was because Yin Man¡¯s strength was indeed strong; she had almost been locked in for first place in the virtual battle long ago.


    ¡°Alas.¡±


    ¡°She met the even more monstrous Li Yuan,¡± Vice Principal lamented, ¡°Given Yin Man¡¯s temperament, she must desire to defeat Li Yuan in her heart.¡±


    ¡°Hopefully, she won¡¯t take this matter too hard.¡± Vice Principal still valued Yin Man greatly.


    After all, Yin Man was his student.


    Li Yuan¡¯s monstrous talent wasn¡¯t much of concern to him.


    ¡­


    On the platform.


    Harmon was completely crushed by Yin Man, and after withstanding over a hundred moves, his body was suddenly bisected.

    Chapter 303: Chapter 226: The Clash of Titans! The Terrifying Li Yuan! (Double Chapters for Monthly Votes)_4


    The first battle, Yin Man won.


    ¡­


    The second match, Yin Man battles Nevsky.


    In this battle, Nevsky unleashed terrifying strength, with his axe technique fierce to the extreme¡­ but in front of Yin Man, who went all out, after clashing for over three hundred moves, Nevsky still ended up defeated.


    ¡­


    The third match, Li Yuan battles Alicia.


    In this battle, Li Yuan won with ease; Alicia did not unleash her ¡°Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank¡± power.


    ¡°Alicia is probably going to lose four straight.¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, Alicia is probably the weakest, bound to be the last.¡±


    ¡°Last place? Even if Alicia loses every match, she¡¯s still ranked fifth in the world!¡±


    ¡­In the fourth match, Nevsky battles Alicia, Nevsky wins.


    ¡­In the fifth match, Nevsky battles Harmon, both are extremely skilled attackers.


    Likewise.


    Both Nevsky and Harmon were very clear in their hearts, they had both already lost to Yin Man.


    Li Yuan? They also regarded him as a formidable opponent in their hearts.


    So, this battle was critically important.


    ¡°Top three.¡±


    ¡°Defeat the opponent to firmly advance into the top three.¡±


    ¡°Only by making it into the top three can one obtain a spot in the Martial God Inheritance.¡± Both Nevsky and Harmon knew this very well.


    Ordinary students were unaware of the Martial God Inheritance, but they had been informed by their teachers and seniors long ago.


    Only the top three could go to Feixing to get a spot for the Martial God Inheritance.


    If they couldn¡¯t make it into the top three? Then they would have to wait for the federation¡¯s high-level members to choose someone, and their fates would no longer be in their own hands.


    Geniuses, for the most part, despised the feeling of having their fates controlled by others.


    ¡°Fight!¡±


    The battle between Nevsky and Harmon was extremely brutal, and finally, after a fierce struggle of over a thousand rounds, Nevsky, badly injured,


    swung his battle axe and viciously decapitated Harmon.


    ¡°Haha! I won! I¡¯m very likely going to Feixing now.¡± Nevsky, the burly man from the Extreme North, rarely showed a hint of excitement.


    ¡­


    ¡°Lost, and fate is no longer in my own control,¡± sighed Harmon¡¯s Flying Heaven Warrior teacher.


    First losing to Yin Man, then to Nevsky.


    Harmon was left with only a theoretical chance to make it into the top three.


    ¡­


    In the sixth match, Yin Man battles Alicia, Yin Man wins.


    By now, Yin Man had completed three consecutive victories, just one more win over Li Yuan, she could become the final champion.


    ¡­


    In the seventh match, Harmon battles Alicia, Harmon wins.


    Alicia suffers four straight losses, locking in fifth place ahead of time.


    ¡­


    In the eighth match, Harmon battles Li Yuan.


    In this battle, Harmon went all out, trying to grab a theoretical chance to advance.


    Theoretically, as long as he defeated Li Yuan, and Li Yuan then defeated Nevsky, then all three would have a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, and a tiebreaker would have to be held.


    It was just too bad.


    The more it was a theoretical possibility, the less hope there was.


    In this battle, Li Yuan completely abandoned defense, met attack with attack, and eventually defeated Harmon in a rather precarious victory.


    ¡°His sword technique should have just stepped into the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank not long ago,¡± Li Yuan judged vaguely in his heart.


    Although the ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± that Li Yuan had comprehended was not specialized in attacking, as long as his skills were visibly superior, even in an offensive clash, he could still come out victorious.


    Following this battle.


    The top three had already been decided by the number of victories ¡ª Yin Man, Li Yuan, Nevsky.


    ¡­


    ¡°The top three have been decided.¡±


    ¡°The three of them going to Feixing? Indeed, they are all excellent,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors discussed with one another in the higher Spectator Space.


    ¡°The last two matches.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see who will be the ultimate first place.¡±


    ¡­


    In the ninth match, Li Yuan battles Nevsky.


    Above the stage, the two men faced each other from a distance.


    ¡°It seems, the order of the battles keeps changing,¡± Nevsky, holding his battle axe, smiled broadly: ¡°The high levels, they probably want to keep the suspense of the final first place until the end.¡±


    ¡°It seems so,¡± Li Yuan smiled and nodded.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already lost to Yin Man, her strength is too terrifying¡­I¡¯m doomed not to take first place, second or third makes no difference to me,¡± Nevsky said earnestly: ¡°However, I won¡¯t give up without a fight.¡±


    ¡°I know you¡¯re strong, but to defeat me, bring out all your strength,¡± Nevsky fixed his gaze on Li Yuan.


    He had studied Li Yuan early on, and after watching the previous fights, he knew how formidable Li Yuan was.


    ¡°Alright,¡±


    ¡°As a sign of respect for you, I will also bring out my true strength,¡± Li Yuan smiled and nodded, holding a favorable impression of the man from the Extreme North.


    ¡°True strength?¡± Nevsky¡¯s eyes gleamed.


    He understood Li Yuan¡¯s meaning; he hadn¡¯t used all his strength against Harmon.


    Boom!


    Nevsky immediately made his move, with the battle axe, a heavy weapon, yet incredibly agile in his hands.


    Whoosh!


    A dazzling axe light cut across the sky.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s long spear also burst forth in an instant, the tip dancing as if it were channeling the stars from beyond, instantly turning the spear light into a galaxy, slamming against Nevsky¡¯s battle axe.


    ¡°Bang~¡± The collision was tremendous, sending Nevsky hurtling backward.


    He flew nearly ten meters before stopping hard, while Li Yuan still stood his ground.


    ¡°How is this possible!¡± Nevsky almost cried out, his eyes filled with shock.

    ¡°What?¡± Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This spear technique?¡±


    ¡°It has truly harnessed the power of heaven and earth! No doubt about it.¡±


    ¡°A true monster!¡±


    ¡°True Intent special move!¡±


    ¡°Definitely a True Intent special move! To have just entered the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank not long ago and already comprehended a True Intent special move?¡± In the higher Spectator Space, the group of Flying Heaven Warriors, who were originally quite composed, discussing with each other, now had faces full of shock.

 Chapter 304: 227 The Number One of Blue Star (Extra 24)

    Chapter 304: Chapter 227 The Number One of Blue Star (Extra 24)


    ¡°How could the power contained in this spear be so much stronger than mine?¡± Nevsky could hardly believe it.


    It should be noted that he is an intermediate-rank, fifth-stage martial artist too.


    In theory, even if Li Yuan¡¯s skill realm was somewhat higher than his, the pure strength gap shouldn¡¯t be this substantial.


    When one¡¯s skills reach the fourth level, the difference in weapons becomes minimal, and after stepping into the fifth stage, the difference is even smaller, because every high-rank fifth-stage martial artist¡¯s skill level is so high it is nearly a path.


    They place more emphasis on the harmony of mind, body, and the universe, seeking to harness more of the power of heaven and earth.


    Weapons? They are more about fitting with one¡¯s own heart and intentions.


    Take, for example, the third-rank secret manual ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡±; why isn¡¯t it called ¡°Stellar Spear¡±? To achieve this level, whether it¡¯s a spear or an axe, it all follows the heart.


    Just like Li Yuan.


    Ordinary people use spears, naturally excelling at attacking.


    But with the skill realm of ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡±, when using this mindset to control weapons, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique for defense becomes far more powerful than his attacks.


    Facing Nevsky, Li Yuan was clear in his mind that winning with ordinary killing moves was very unlikely.


    Nevsky¡¯s chosen path suited the battle axe extremely well, and he was very adept at attacking.


    Therefore, without a moment¡¯s hesitation, Li Yuan launched his strongest move¡ªGalaxy Spiral.


    ¡°I refuse to believe this.¡± Nevsky roared angrily, his body springing into motion once more. He stepped fiercely across the platform, each step making the platform tremble faintly as if mountains were crumbling and the earth was splitting apart.


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, looked at his opponent impassively, motionless.


    Boom! At the moment Nevsky was about to get close, he finally struck down at Li Yuan like a fierce tiger.


    Whoosh!


    He leaped up, raising the battle axe high, unleashing all his vigor, and with everything he had, he chopped down fiercely with his axe.


    This blow, fueled by Nevsky¡¯s anger, was unquestionably the most powerful he had ever unleashed in virtual combat.


    Nevsky believed that even Yin Man wouldn¡¯t dare take on this blow head-on.


    Finally.


    Li Yuan moved, and indeed, he no longer took the blow head-on; he launched a counter-attack. His speed exploded to its peak within 0.3 seconds, surpassing 110 meters per second.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan leaped up too.


    Facing a full-force sprint from Nevsky, Li Yuan did not retreat an inch; on the contrary, he chose to clash head-on. At that moment, the two were like two terrifying meteors colliding.


    ¡°Swish!¡± Li Yuan suddenly thrust out his spear, and the spear light bloomed, spreading layer upon layer like a starry river erupting, like a dazzling galaxy with countless stars revolving around its center.


    Threads of starlight converged at the center.


    At that moment, Li Yuan, with his long spear in hand, seemed to transform into a huge vortex, drawing upon the mysterious powers of heaven and earth, creating a most astonishing twisting and absorbing force.


    And his spear met Nevsky¡¯s roaring incoming battle axe with a thunderous collision!!


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    The terrifying collision, the dreadful aftermath, the shockwave spread visibly in all directions.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The horrifying impact force sent Nevsky flying backward, his body tumbling heavily onto the ground.


    Then, he rolled over, getting up on one knee.


    ¡°Pfft~¡± A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out of Nevsky¡¯s mouth, the boiling sensation in his blood finally easing somewhat.


    ¡°I¡¯m injured.¡± Nevsky moved his thoughts and could clearly sense the pulled muscles in his arm.


    Throughout his body, countless minute injuries had appeared.


    What about Li Yuan then?


    In such a head-on clash, Li Yuan merely flew back several meters before stopping in his tracks.


    As if unaffected by any impact at all.


    The victor had been decided.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength,¡± Nevsky slowly rose to his feet, fixating his gaze on Li Yuan.


    Never understanding why Li Yuan¡¯s strength was so terrifying, but Nevsky knew that strong was strong.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength indeed far surpassed his own.


    ¡°What¡¯s the name of that move?¡± Nevsky¡¯s voice was hoarse.


    ¡°Galactic Stream Vortex,¡± Li Yuan replied calmly, aware of how formidable this self-created killing move was.


    This move was best at defense.


    Yet, when used for a head-on collision, its might was still terrifyingly great, surpassing any of the moves in the Stellar Five Styles.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I concede wholly to you, convinced both in heart and word,¡± Nevsky took a deep breath, ¡°Come, defeat me completely.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded. If he hadn¡¯t created this move, he might not have been able to defeat Nevsky.


    Boom! Li Yuan moved once more, his figure darting forward at a terrifying speed.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The long spear thrust out, with a terrifying screeching sound that echoed through the vast sky, striking at Nevsky.


    ¡­


    In the higher-level Spectator Space, over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors were stunned by this spectacle.


    After their initial shock, over a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors began to express their admiration and amazement.


    ¡°A True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s a True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    ¡°If the first move wasn¡¯t quite clear, now there¡¯s no doubt about it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s certainly a True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    ¡°The most difficult hurdle to overcome to reach Fifth Stage Perfection has just been breached by him.¡±


    ¡°Truly an exceptional prodigy,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors chatted among themselves, feeling somewhat emotional.


    Just as with the Fourth Level in skills, one gradually penetrates deeper in controlling the body, until at Fourth Level Perfection the spirit reaches subtlety, and one¡¯s strength will surge, utterly overwhelming any at the High Rank of the Fourth Level.


    The Fifth Stage follows the same principle.


    Unity of Heaven and Man at the Fifth Stage, from the Initial Rank, Intermediate Rank, to High Rank, is all about deepening the comprehension of nature, a continual accumulation of quantity without any real qualitative change.


    The force of heaven and earth that one draws upon isn¡¯t really considerable.


    Only by stepping from the High Rank of the Fifth Stage to Perfection, does one achieve a fundamental difference.


    Why can one ascend to the Flying Heaven Realm upon reaching Fifth Stage Perfection?


    The heart of the matter lies in the two words: ¡®True Intent.¡¯


    The extreme limit of the Fifth Stage High Rank signifies that one¡¯s accumulation of quantity has reached its zenith, and one must endeavor to integrate the manifold comprehensions of heaven and earth, truly seeking the essence of the workings of the cosmos¡ª the Mysteries of True Intent.


    Upon comprehending even a hint of the Mysteries of True Intent, and being able to manifest that hint through a certain specific killing move, one can significantly enhance the might of the technique.


    This is what constitutes a True Intent Killing Move.


    Also known as a True Intent Killing Technique.


    Once a True Intent Killing Move has been comprehended, as long as one¡¯s comprehension of the cosmos reaches an exceedingly high level, one can naturally transition from the High Rank of the Fifth Stage to the Perfection Level.


    To put it simply.


    Even among Flying Heaven Warriors, many have only comprehended a few True Intent Killing Moves.


    And as Flying Heaven Warriors comprehend more True Intent Killing Moves, say five or six similar techniques, their comprehension of True Intent grows deeper.


    Until one day, when every move can contain the Mysteries of True Intent, transcending the need for True Intent Killing Moves, that is when one truly ascends to the Sixth Stage of skills¡ªTrue Intent.


    And Li Yuan.


    He is still far from that level, and the might of this newly-created True Intent Killing Move is not very strong, but it¡¯s enough to astonish the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Because it signifies that, as long as Li Yuan progresses step by step in his cultivation from the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, to High Rank, and then to Perfection¡­ virtually nothing will stand in his way.


    ¡­


    ¡°True Intent Killing Move?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡± Li Yang and Dean Xu, sitting in the back rows, were both greatly shocked, with speculations arising in their hearts.


    ¡°It must be,¡± Dean Xu couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Otherwise, his spear technique wouldn¡¯t possess such power, completely overwhelming Nevsky.¡±


    ¡°To grasp a True Intent Killing Move at only Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?¡± Li Yang shook his head, ¡°This! This!¡±


    They were indeed shocked.


    Normally, one would need to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, reach the limit of Fifth Stage High Rank, and accumulate quantity.


    Then, seek a breakthrough in quality.


    ¡°His move is still immature, but it has already surpassed us in essence,¡± Dean Xu couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Perhaps, this is what a true genius is.¡±


    ¡°A genius that we never dared to imagine.¡±


    ¡­


    On the stage, the showdown between Li Yuan and Nevsky had reached its final phase.


    Clash after clash, lightning-fast.


    Even though Li Yuan did not deliberately pursue ending the fight, his spear technique burst forth time and again, its power far surpassing that of Nevsky.


    Each clash inflicted considerable damage on Nevsky¡¯s body.


    After hundreds of consecutive collisions, Nevsky could no longer withstand them, and was grazed across the throat by Li Yuan¡¯s long spear. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Defeat!


    To this point, Li Yuan had consecutively defeated three of the previous top five experts, Harmon, Alicia, and Nevsky, also achieving a three-win streak.


    He was just one battle away from his last fight with Yin Man.


    ¡­


    ¡°He won just like that?¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t Nevsky supposed to be strong?¡± the countless spectators from all over the world murmured in disbelief.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that Nevsky is weak, it¡¯s that Li Yuan is too strong. I even feel Li Yuan might be stronger than Yin Man.¡±


    ¡°Terrifying Li Yuan.¡± The numerous voices of discussions filled the air, and perhaps the vast majority of the spectators couldn¡¯t recognize the mysteries of a ¡®True Intent Killing Move,¡¯ but they could see that Li Yuan¡¯s strength far exceeded that of Nevsky.


    ¡°He¡¯s won.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has defeated Nevsky.¡±


    ¡°The final battle is coming up next,¡± the innumerable spectators from Xia Country were exceedingly excited.


    Because, both Yin Man and Li Yuan, who completed a three-win streak, were from Xia Country.


    One could say that even before the final showdown had started, it was already destined that the champion would be from Xia Country.


    For the millions of Xia Country spectators, this meant they didn¡¯t need to worry about who would win, allowing them to fully enjoy watching the final match.


    ¡°Senior brother.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, you must win.¡± However, tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University were growing even more nervous.


    Champion!


    Just one last fight remained.


    ¡­


    Without making all the spectators wait too long, the tenth match quickly erupted.


    Li Yuan versus Yin Man.


    Both competitors, since the beginning of the free-for-all bouts, had swept through their respective Star Realm battlefields with absolute dominance, brutally making their way into the finals.


    Before the finals, there hadn¡¯t been a single opponent who could cause them any obstruction.


    Both were overwhelmingly strong, cutting their way to the end.


    However.


    This highly anticipated mightiest showdown was nearly predetermined before it had even started.


    Atop the stage.


    ¡°I cannot win against you,¡± Yin Man sighed lightly, her eyes filled with complexity.


    ¡°Won¡¯t you try?¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Since your last battle, I¡¯ve understood that I cannot win.¡± Yin Man spoke slowly, ¡°However, for the sake of honor, I¡¯ll still fight with all my might.¡±


    Yin Man had an extremely high perspective.


    In terms of skill, her level might be even higher, but she had yet to create her own True Intent Killing Move.


    Thus, the outcome of this battle was nearly certain.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded and moved first, taking the initiative to strike.


    This was the first time Li Yuan took the initiative to engage in combat in the finals.


    This battle.


    The fight between them was incredibly fierce, with Yin Man¡¯s swordsmanship dazzling¡ªher twin swords in hand truly revealed her terrifying strength¡ªsword light like flowing water, madly pouring onto Li Yuan¡¯s long spear.


    But.


    When Li Yuan executed the move ¡°Galactic Flowing Rotation,¡± all those countless sword lights fell, only to be ceaselessly neutralized by the mysterious power of heaven and earth, and easily blocked by Li Yuan.


    Almost standing on invincible ground.


    With every clash, Li Yuan could easily deflect the impact, but the horrible force left Yin Man wounded time and again.


    Finally, after a thousand exchanges, Yin Man¡¯s body could no longer withstand the repeated impacts, injuries reaching their limit, her body completely broke down, and her power and speed sharply declined.


    She was struck in the neck by a thrust from Li Yuan¡¯s spear.


    Victory.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t created ¡®Galactic Flowing Rotation,¡¯ based purely on skill level, I wouldn¡¯t be your match,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He had immense respect for Yin Man, whose level of skill was definitely above 40% of the Fifth Stage.


    But, the advantage in skill couldn¡¯t make up for the disparity in the power of a True Intent Killing Move.


    To exhibit a higher realm, one needed sufficiently powerful techniques.


    ¡°I¡¯ve won.¡±


    ¡°Virtual battle, first place.¡± Immediately, Li Yuan¡¯s mouth also revealed a slight smile.


    ¡­


    ¡°He¡¯s won!¡±


    ¡°First place! Blue Star¡¯s first place! Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s made history, the first virtual battle champion not from the top three martial arts schools.¡± The millions of spectators in the Spectator Platform were completely boiling with excitement.


    Especially the tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University, who were utterly ecstatic.


    They had won!


    Virtual battle champion, Li Yuan!!


    ¡­


    ¡°Thank you, Li Yuan and Yin Man, for bringing us an exciting pinnacle showdown,¡± the host¡¯s voice trembled with excitement: ¡°Congratulations to Li Yuan for capturing the championship!¡±


    ¡°This is the first time in history the champion is a first-year student!¡±


    ¡°This is the first time in history the champion is a student from outside the top three martial arts schools.¡±


    ¡°I announce.¡±


    ¡°This year¡¯s Global University Martial Path Tournament, has come to a perfect close!¡±

    ¡°`


    The global university martial arts competition virtual battle has ended, and students from all over the world have left the competition space.


    ¡°Li Yuan is too fierce.¡±


    ¡°It seems that Nevsky and Yin Man were almost on par with him in the fight, but on closer thought, they weren¡¯t able to shake Li Yuan at all.¡±


    ¡°Indeed brutal.¡±


    ¡°A freshman winning the championship! This is the first time in history.¡±


    ¡°Awesome.¡±


    ¡°Coming to watch the battle and witnessing history with my own eyes.¡± Millions of students were discussing with each other, all quite excited, and the topic of discussion was almost always about Li Yuan.


    There was no way around it.


    It was occasional for a sophomore to break into the top ten of a virtual battle, but to win the championship? In the history of the Blue Star competition virtual battles, there were only two instances of a sophomore champion.


    One of those instances was Yu Jinghe.


    A freshman taking the championship? That was a first in over thirty years, and what¡¯s more, the champion wasn¡¯t even from one of the three top martial arts institutions¡­ which made it even rarer.


    In the subsequent decades or even longer, it would probably be very difficult to have such an achievement again.


    ¡­


    ¡°Awesome!¡± Gu Qianghan¡¯s eyes shone as he almost hugged Li Yuan tight, ¡°Brother Yuan, you really are awesome! Champion, haha.¡±


    Li Yuan had returned to the Spectator Platform and smiled.


    At this moment, Li Yuan felt tens of thousands of gazes upon him, burning hot.


    Too enthusiastic.


    ¡°The big brother is really strong.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the first time in history a freshman has won the championship, and it¡¯s someone from our school.¡± The tens of thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University had converged into a sea of joy: ¡°Haha, the students from the three top martial schools are so powerful, but in the end, they all lost to big brother.¡±


    ¡°Truly gratifying.¡±


    ¡°What genius is better than Li Yuan the genius.¡± At this moment, the students of Kunlun Martial University felt proud by association.


    ¡­


    In a higher-level Spectator Space.


    ¡°Haha, yes, he¡¯s my student.¡± Dean Hai was conversing with other Flying Heaven Warriors, smiling: ¡°I didn¡¯t teach him much, just casually taught¡­ But still, Li Yuan respects me a lot, he often comes to ask me about cultivation issues.¡±


    ¡°What? I don¡¯t cultivate the Earth Vein?¡±


    ¡°Is that important?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Who had the most influence in cultivating Li Yuan? It must be Dean Hai¡¯s primary guidance,¡± Li Yang was boasting to other Top Grade Origin Martial Artists from different schools: ¡°But Dean Hai is very busy.¡±


    ¡°On regular days, it¡¯s definitely me who teaches him the most. I¡¯m his direct teacher, after all.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan winning the championship surpassed the imagination of most people, even those who were the most optimistic about him had never imagined Li Yuan would sweep a group of top-tier geniuses from their second and third years and forcefully take the championship.


    As predictable.


    As time passed, the news of the championship victory would quickly ferment and spread across the globe¡­ further solidifying his title as ¡°the number one prodigy of the contemporary Blue Star.¡±


    ¡­


    Under the night sky filled with stars, inside the saucer-shaped aircraft above Kunlun Martial University.


    Inside the Quiet Cultivation Room.


    Whoosh!


    A young man in black, Fang Hai, was meditating with his eyes closed; around him, countless blue glimmers were flickering, making his presence seem all the more ethereal and unpredictable.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master! Hai Yi requests communication.¡± The voice of the assistant AI rang out.


    The young man in black gently opened his eyes and said softly, ¡°Answer.¡±


    Beep! The communication was established!


    ¡°Old Fang.¡± Dean Hai¡¯s voice came from the communication, sounding a bit excited: ¡°The virtual battle has ended. Why didn¡¯t you come to watch the final today?¡±


    ¡°No point,¡± the young man in black said dismissively.


    For Fang Hai, the first time he watched the battle was to fully assess Li Yuan¡¯s strength and potential.


    Having seen it once, to keep repeating it was meaningless.


    In his heart, Fang Hai valued his own strength more and was more confident in himself.


    ¡°Damn, you think it¡¯s pointless? You are the principal!¡± Dean Hai complained, ¡°Li Yuan has made history for the school. Guess which place Li Yuan took?¡±


    ¡°Which place? Second or third, I guess,¡± Fang Hai said softly. ¡°In terms of strength, he shouldn¡¯t be a match for Yin Man.¡±


    As one of the top figures in Xia Country.


    Having decided to give the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot to Li Yuan, Fang Hai naturally had a good understanding of Yin Man¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    ¡°You can be wrong too.¡± Dean Hai laughed aloud: ¡°Let me tell you, Li Yuan crushed Yin Man and won first place!! Li Yuan is the virtual battle champion.¡±


    Fang Hai was suddenly taken aback.


    Champion? Impossible!


    He was very confident in his own judgment.


    ¡°Shall I tell you about it in detail?¡± Dean Hai asked with a smirk: ¡°I¡¯ll tell you¡­¡±


    ¡°No need,¡± Fang Hai said coolly: ¡°It¡¯s just a virtual battle championship, fine, I got it.¡±


    Beep~


    Fang Hai abruptly hung up the call.


    ¡­


    ¡°Damn!¡±


    In a villa, Dean Hai looked at the ended call and couldn¡¯t help but complain: ¡°This guy always acts all aloof in front of me, definitely going to secretly watch the video again.¡±


    When Fang Hai was still a Prime Warrior, he and Dean Hai had ventured together through life and death situations, forming a deep friendship.


    Almost like brothers.


    For that reason, Dean Hai could be so uninhibited in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡­


    Inside the saucer-shaped aircraft.


    ¡°True Intent technique?¡± Fang Hai was looking at the light screen projection in front of him, which was displaying the final battles between Li Yuan, Nevsky, and Yin Man. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As a Star Master of the alliance, he had high-level access, allowing him to view various videos at will.


    ¡°He reached Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage in such a short time, and he has already realized a True Intent technique?¡±


    ¡°Is his comprehension so high?¡± Fang Hai murmured to himself.


    Giving the caliber of Fang Hai¡¯s position and strength, for him to use the word ¡°high¡± was enough to prove his inner surprise.


    After a moment of silence.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s fine,¡± Fang Hai revealed a slight smile. ¡°When he goes to Feixing, perhaps he will give the Master a big surprise.¡±


    Then.


    Fang Hai passed the message on to the other two Demigods of Xia Country before turning off the light screen projection.

    Li Yuan performed very well, exceeding his expectations.


    But in the end, he only possessed Fifth Stage skills and his physical quality was only at level 19¡­ there was still a long road to go before he truly grew up.


    ¡­


    In the midst of excitement and noise.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t delay for too long and soon left the virtual network, exiting the virtual network pod.


    All was quiet.


    ¡°Everything is indeed just as I expected,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently.


    ¡°The killing move I created inadvertently is unbeatably powerful, now no one will be able to stop me,¡± Li Yuan contemplated.


    When he created the move ¡°Star River Whirl¡± during the day, Li Yuan had already felt confident enough to claim the championship.


    Actually, Li Yuan still didn¡¯t know that this move was a ¡°True Intent Killing Move¡±; he just felt that this move could perfectly channel the power of heaven and earth and could fully exhibit his own understanding.


    ¡°Yet, it¡¯s still not strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Continue cultivating.¡±


    ¡°Fighting against these Fifth Stage masters has indeed revealed many of my own deficiencies,¡± Li Yuan reflected after many battles that evening, naturally leading to numerous new insights.


    But turning these insights into thorough understanding required more cultivation.


    Cultivation in the Martial Path and advancement in Spear Technique didn¡¯t come from empty thoughts, they were achieved through practicing one spear move after another.


    Li Yuan left the resting room, took a weapon from the weapon rack beside him, and went to the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Hmm? That¡¯s not right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s past midnight?¡± Li Yuan glanced at the smart ring on his wrist, which displayed a time reminder.


    Every night after midnight marked the beginning of a new round of cultivation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start with the Visualization Method.¡±


    Having just won the championship, Li Yuan naturally felt excited and even a bit overwhelmed.


    After all, winning the championship as a freshman was indeed making history.


    But when he returned to the underground Martial Arts Room of his villa at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan quickly calmed down, recalling the teachings of his uncle.


    ¡°Today¡¯s achievements are because of yesterday¡¯s efforts!¡±


    ¡°And tomorrow¡¯s achievements?¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes shining: ¡°Are because of today¡¯s efforts.¡±


    ¡°Therefore.¡±


    ¡°To have great achievements tomorrow as well, I must not slack off today! I cannot relax.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, continue working hard,¡± Li Yuan set aside the joy of winning the championship and returned to a state of peacefulness within.


    He placed the Black Chen Spear aside.


    Li Yuan sat down cross-legged and began a new round of Visualization Method cultivation.


    His consciousness flowed into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, entering the grand Jade Platform¡­ and began suppressing the proud sun that was rising again.


    It was very painful! Arguably torture!


    Yet Li Yuan enjoyed it, enduring wave after wave of the scorching light of All Heavens¡¯ Stars and feeling his consciousness growing stronger.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was immersed in cultivation, the news of his championship had spread across the globe with astonishing speed.


    ¡°First place! Li Yuan has won first place.¡±


    ¡°Virtual combat champion, the peerless genius Li Yuan, truly deserving of the name ¡®genius.''¡±


    ¡°If you marry, marry someone like Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Sweeping away all geniuses, the future pride of the Human Race,¡± countless posts and short videos spread wildly, attracting a huge number of people.


    Although under the surveillance of the virtual network, there was no transmission of the final battle video.


    However, the related news was not controlled.


    Whereas the previously spread promotional videos were debated over whether or not he truly was Blue Star¡¯s number one genius of his generation¡­ the moment he overpowered everyone to clinch the virtual combat championship as a freshman.


    All debates vanished into thin air.


    Every advantage has its disadvantage.


    As the results of the tournament spread wildly across the virtual network, the information was naturally also relayed by many spies hidden on Blue Star through special channels into some parts of the Star Realm.


    Foreign Civilizations were also highly concerned about a peerless genius like Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    The outside world was buzzing with activity.


    But within the underground Martial Arts Room in Li Yuan¡¯s villa at Kunlun Martial University, it was exceptionally quiet.


    Two hours of the Visualization Method, two hours of ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡±¡­ At four in the morning, Li Yuan came to his senses, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.


    He began a new day¡¯s Spear Technique cultivation.


    ¡°The light of the Star River gathers into a swirl, its defensive power is terrifying, it easily blocked Nevsky and Yin Man¡¯s attacks,¡± Li Yuan held the Black Chen Spear, contemplating his technique: ¡°But it¡¯s not enough, the power of my Star Whirl is still not strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Especially when facing Yin Man.¡±


    ¡°Her sword is extremely fast, with continuous attacks¡­ If it were just a bit faster, it might have been able to rip through my Spear Whirl defense,¡± Li Yuan was acutely aware of this.


    There was no such thing as an absolutely invincible defense.


    If it couldn¡¯t be breached? Then it only means that the attacking power is not strong enough yet.


    ¡°I must continue to cultivate and try to further enhance the power of this move,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°Relying solely on this move makes me very passive in a real battle.¡±


    In arena duels where there must be a victor, having a strong defense is very advantageous.


    But in the real world, other masters could simply flee¡­ A defensive killing move could only save one¡¯s life but made it hard to kill the enemy.


    ¡°To kill the enemy.¡±


    ¡°Then, I¡¯d better craft an attack killing move,¡± Li Yuan contemplated: ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡­ transitioning from defense to offense.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! While Li Yuan was pondering, his Black Chen Spear followed his thoughts and danced, generating dazzling and fearsome Spear Light. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had completely immersed himself in the cultivation of Spear Technique, earnestly trying to validate his thoughts and ideas¡­ in order to achieve a breakthrough in his technique.


    Hum~


    Silently, light flickered within Li Yuan¡¯s body from his Perfect Star Vein, increasing his resonance with the ¡°Law of Earth¡± that mysteriously operated throughout heaven and earth.


    The Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± being part of the Ninefold Star Technique, was not to be underestimated even though Li Yuan had only cultivated it to the 6th level¡­


    Perhaps.


    Other martial arts prodigies who made it into the top hundred or top ten were still reveling in joy¡­ but Li Yuan had already dedicated his entire being to the next phase of cultivation.

    ¡­


    Starfire Martial University.


    In the early hours of the morning, just after six o¡¯clock, Dantai Feng woke from his sleep and went down to the Martial Arts Room to begin a new day of training.


    ¡°There probably aren¡¯t many who are as hardworking as I am,¡± Dantai Feng thought, and then he began to seriously practice his Sword Technique.


    ¡°Li Yuan is so strong,¡±


    ¡°If we were to fight all out, I fear I couldn¡¯t hold him off for long,¡± Dantai Feng recalled the battle scene from yesterday involving Li Yuan.


    He was too strong.


    ¡°Dazhuang has also made rapid progress, reaching Subtlety so quickly,¡± Dantai Feng mused to himself, ¡°I need to keep pushing myself.¡±


    In his bones, Dantai Feng was not one to admit defeat.


    Barely half an hour later.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master, your great ancestor is calling you,¡± the assistant AI¡¯s voice rang out.


    ¡°Great ancestor?¡± Dantai Feng was first startled, then he quickly realized and immediately said, ¡°Answer it.¡±


    Hum~


    Countless rays of light converged to form a light screen projection, in which appeared a middle-aged man with white hair. His skin was smooth, but his eyes were filled with a sense of age and wisdom.


    ¡°Great-great-grandfather!¡± Dantai Feng said respectfully.


    The grandfather of one¡¯s grandfather is indeed the great-great-grandfather.


    The Dantai family is one of the top great families in Xia Country, powerful¡­ Dantai Feng might seem carefree, but he was well aware that the high position of his family hinged on the white-haired middle-aged man before him.


    One of the three Demigods of Xia Country¡ªDantai Lie!


    He is also one of the highest echelons of the entire Seven Stars human civilization.


    ¡°Xiaofeng,¡± the white-haired middle-aged man smiled slightly, a hint of indulgence in his eyes, ¡°The Blue Star competition virtual battle has ended. How do you rate yourself? How many points out of ten would you give?¡±


    ¡°Nine points,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile.


    ¡°Oh? And the one point?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man asked curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid of being arrogant, so I deducted one point,¡± Dantai Feng shrugged his shoulders, as he was always very open in front of his great-great-grandfather.


    ¡°Haha, so you¡¯re saying you¡¯ve given yourself full marks?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man laughed, not blaming Dantai Feng for his pride.


    Dantai Feng was his most outstanding descendant, and he was very satisfied with Dantai Feng¡¯s performance.


    ¡°Are you planning to go to Feixing this year, or wait until next year?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man asked


    ¡°Can I go?¡± Dantai Feng was taken aback.


    To his knowledge, although a few exceptional talents are selected in theory, this happens very rarely.


    ¡°You broke into the top ten of the virtual battles in your freshman year, why can¡¯t you go?¡± the white-haired middle-aged man said with a smile, ¡°These Martial God Inheritance spots are not set in stone.¡±


    ¡°Understood, I leave the decision to great-great-grandfather,¡± Dantai Feng nodded. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Alright, let it be decided then,¡± the white-haired middle-aged man said indifferently, ¡°By the way, how is your relationship with Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Not bad,¡± Dantai Feng nodded.


    He wasn¡¯t surprised at all that his great-great-grandfather mentioned Li Yuan¡­ Such an exceptional talent would soon become known to the most pinnacle beings of human civilization.


    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll prepare a gift for him,¡± the white-haired middle-aged man nodded slightly, ¡°Try to get along well with him when you go to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°In the future, you both might become Star Masters or even Demigods in the alliance¡­ It¡¯s very important for you to stay united,¡±

    In the distant Wanhan Star Realm, at its depths,


    Within a secret location belonging to the Tianliang Clan beneath the continuous glaciers, inside a majestic palace.


    ¡°Another improvement?¡±


    ¡°He truly is the newest rising superstar of the Seven Stars human civilization,¡± a figure in a purple robe reviewed the data on the light screen in front of him, which was full of text messages.


    The texts described some of the scenes from the virtual battle finals¡­ but there were only words.


    No video of the finals!


    Hum~


    The light screen before the figure in the purple robe suddenly trembled violently. Following that, the screen flickered, and it now displayed a figure in white clothes, her face as cold as frost and quite beautiful.


    But it didn¡¯t evoke the slightest desire, only awe.


    ¡°Demigod,¡± the figure in the purple robe immediately said respectfully.


    ¡°Zi Xin,¡± the voice of the figure in white clothes was icy cold. She stood in the light screen projection, yet her voice echoed in the vast palace.


    The figure in the purple robe bowed even lower.


    ¡°Number Three is dead,¡± the figure in white clothes said emotionlessly, ¡°I¡¯ve verified it through a secret technique¡­ no mistake, it was you who arranged for him to assassinate Li Yuan, wasn¡¯t it?¡±


    ¡°Number Three is dead?¡± The figure in the purple robe was shocked.


    He was not yet aware of this.


    New information traveled very difficultly between Blue Star and Wanhan Star Realm, and to avoid detection by the Seven Stars human civilization, unless it was a special circumstance, they rarely made contact with each other.


    ¡°Demigod, how could Number Three die?¡± the figure in the purple robe couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°He had mastered both the Blood Shadow Incarnation and Shadow Stealth secret techniques¡­ even a Demigod would have a hard time tracking him down, right?¡±


    If it came to a direct confrontation, a Demigod could easily crush him, of course.


    But why was Number Three renowned as a fearsome assassin? It was his fearless Incarnation and the difficult-to-track Stealth technique.


    ¡°The reason is not yet clear,¡±


    ¡°The chances are high that the Seven Stars human civilization has developed the ability to counter moves like Number Three¡¯s,¡± the figure in white clothes said coldly, ¡°Order all Infiltrators to enter a dormant state temporarily, until the time comes for them to be activated again.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the figure in the purple robe said in succession, unable to restrain himself from adding, ¡°What about Li Yuan? What should we do?¡±


    ¡°Give up,¡± the figure in white clothes said coldly, ¡°Number Three was the strongest force we could deploy, and the assassination attempt failed¡­ While there are Flying Heaven Warriors in the Seven Stars human civilization who are willing to trade with us, mostly it is limited to passing on information.¡±


    ¡°To kill Li Yuan? That¡¯s almost certain death, and they will certainly not take such a risk.¡±


    ¡°We can only wait, wait for Li Yuan to enter the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ I believe he will come, and at that point, we¡¯ll find a way to deal with him,¡± the figure in white clothes said, ¡°To take care of these alien geniuses, patience is required.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the figure in the purple robe nodded.


    In his mind, he thought, after all, you¡¯re the boss, you call the shots.

    ¡­


    The virtual battle ended.


    Li Yuan won the championship, Jin Huguo broke into the top ten¡­ These were historical moments for Kunlun Martial University, and the school naturally promoted them heavily, even holding a special commendation ceremony.


    But as time passed, Li Yuan¡¯s heart no longer surged with much emotion; he was more focused on his subsequent cultivation.


    He devoted himself to cultivating.


    Time swiftly moved to February 21, and the aftermath and heat of the virtual battle gradually faded.


    Two o¡¯clock in the afternoon.


    Li Yuan¡¯s villa welcomed two special guests.


    ¡°Dean Hai, Lord Yang of the Province,¡± Li Yuan said in surprise as he looked at the two who had suddenly visited.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors had come together.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is our first meeting, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lord Yang of the Province said with a hearty look, her voice gentle.


    She wasn¡¯t incredibly beautiful, but she had an extraordinary aura and appeared to be in her thirties.


    ¡°Indeed, this is the first time meeting the Hall Master in reality,¡± Li Yuan replied with a slight bow.


    Although it was his first time meeting Lord Yang of the Province, Li Yuan has long been grateful in his heart.


    At least, she had always valued him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Lord Yang of the Province is here on orders to see you specifically,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile from the side.


    ¡°On orders?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Lord Yang of the Province, already in charge of a province, wielding vast power¡­ whose orders could she be following?


    ¡°Yang Xian, you tell him,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°I won¡¯t interrupt you.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Dean Hai took a step, and with a flash, he had already flown out of Li Yuan¡¯s villa.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and Yang Xian sat on the couch.


    ¡°Lord Yang of the Province, what is this about?¡± Li Yuan asked, unable to hold back his confusion.


    ¡°I¡¯m here, first, to confirm your championship reward from the virtual battle,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°the cash reward of 20 billion has been transferred to your account.¡±


    Just seconds later.


    Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring vibrated, and looking down, he saw that his account had indeed received a message about the 20 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that I could choose equivalent Heavenly Materials Treasures?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Wait until I finish, and you will understand,¡± Yang Xian said, ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Secondly, on the command of the Star Master ¡®Dantai Lie¡¯,¡± Yang Xian continued with a serious expression, ¡°I am here to give you a congratulatory gift for winning the virtual battle championship.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Dantai Lie?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    In a moment, Li Yuan thought of Dantai Feng¡­ it was inevitable, the surname was too rare.


    However.


    Why would this Star Master give him a gift?


    ¡°Hall Master, does Star Master Dantai Lie have anything to do with Dantai Feng?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Dantai Feng is his descendant,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°After so many years¡­ this is the first time Star Master Dantai Lie has directly presented a gift to the virtual battle champion.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Dantai Lie must hold you in high esteem,¡± Yang Xian said.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan listened.


    A person who could become a Star Master was at least close to invincible within the Flying Heaven Realm, doubtlessly powerful.


    ¡°Here, this is the gift.¡± Yang Xian turned over her hand, and a silver sliver the size of a thumb appeared in her palm.


    It was very small!


    However, the surface of the sliver flickered with a mysterious light, and it seemed to have countless fine lines etched onto it.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled. He had no idea what it could be.


    ¡°Use your Spiritual Induction, you¡¯re a Flying Heaven Level soul, use your powerful perception¡­¡± Yang Xian said with a smile.


    When Yang Xian had approached Li Yuan earlier, she had already detected that he was a Flying Heaven Level soul.


    ¡°Spiritual Induction.¡± Li Yuan contemplated, and with a thought, an invisible fluctuation enveloped the silver sliver.


    Li Yuan quickly sensed that something was amiss.


    There were no anomalies from the appearance, but the deeper his spiritual perception went, it was as though a Spiritual Imprint was progressively forming on the silver sliver¡­ When Li Yuan¡¯s perception reached a certain level, nearly at a critical point,


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan suddenly realized that his vision changed, as from the silver sliver burst forth a dimension that seemed illusory yet incredibly real.


    ¡°A space artifact?¡±


    ¡°The legendary Storage Treasure?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was shocked, ¡°Star Master Dantai Lie, would actually send me such a precious gift?¡±

 Chapter 309: 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)

    Chapter 309: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)


    Storage Magical Treasure, space bauble, Li Yuan had once seen some descriptions about them in the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s database.


    But there wasn¡¯t much mentioned, only one sentence ¡ª extremely precious! Very rare!


    This already involved the manipulation of space, far surpassing the current concept of technology.


    Naturally, exceedingly precious.


    At least, among the Martial Artists.


    Even among the top-grade Prime Warriors, Li Yuan had not heard of anyone possessing a space bauble, let alone seeing one himself.


    However, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t expected.


    That the mysterious Star Master ¡°Dantai Lie¡± would actually gift him a space bauble directly.


    ¡°Lord Yang of the Province, isn¡¯t this too valuable?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Indeed, it is valuable, and not every Flying Heaven Warrior has one,¡± said Yang Xian with a smile, ¡°But in truth, giving it to Prime Martial Artists, most of them won¡¯t be able to use it.¡±


    ¡°Unable to use it?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°This Storage Treasure, whether for recognizing a master, or for moving items in and out after doing so, the primary foundation is Divine Sense,¡± said Yang Xian with a smile, ¡°Previously, I was somewhat puzzled why Star Master Dantai Lie would send you this treasure¡­ Now I know, you already have a soul at the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Then it is not strange for the Star Master to send you this treasure,¡± Yang Xian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    It turned out that this kind of treasure could only be used by someone with a soul at the Flying Heaven Level.


    If there was no Divine Sense? Even with a treasure it wouldn¡¯t work.


    ¡°Lord Yang of the Province, how much is this Storage Treasure worth?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    He was somewhat curious!


    After all, according to Lord Yang of the Province¡­ even some Flying Heaven Warriors didn¡¯t have such a treasure.


    ¡°In your perception, how big is the inner space of this space bauble?¡± Lord Yang of the Province asked with a smile, not directly answering Li Yuan¡¯s question.


    ¡°How big?¡± Li Yuan sensed the silver sliver the size of a thumb in Yang Xian¡¯s hand.


    But he couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    ¡°You being able to sense it means you have recognized it as master, and you can manipulate it,¡± Yang Xian patiently explained, ¡°Just hold the Storage Treasure, bring it close to any item, and you can attempt to put it inside.¡±


    ¡°Remember, you can¡¯t put in life forms, only inanimate objects,¡± Yang Xian raised her hand, ¡°Here you go, the Star Master has given it to you, simply because he has taken a liking to you, not because he wants you to do something.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded, no longer hesitating.


    Just like Bai Shan Semi-Divine had given him the ¡°Earth Origin Crystal,¡± this Star Master Dantai Lie¡­ perhaps had a similar thought and intention.


    As soon as he reached out to receive it.


    Hum~


    The silver sliver flowed like water, instantly merging into Li Yuan¡¯s skin and disappearing from sight.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    ¡°Haha, I was the same as you when I first got a Storage Treasure,¡± Yang Xian revealed a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll get used to it. Concentrate and be calm, you can sense its presence¡­ It will move to any part of your body at your will.¡± S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is,¡± Li Yuan, with his powerful spiritual power,


    quickly sensed the existence of the Storage Treasure.


    It seemed to be completely integrated into the body, able to move to any part of it.


    ¡°Why is this Storage Treasure made this way?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°How do you think it should be?¡± Yang Xian said with a smile.


    ¡°A ring? A belt? A bracelet?¡± Li Yuan shared his thoughts.


    ¡°Silly,¡± Yang Xian shook her head, ¡°No one is a fool. If you expose a Storage Treasure on the outside, and some super being sees it¡­ with their strong spiritual power, they can completely break through the impediment of your Spiritual Imprint and directly probe the contents of your Storage Treasure.¡±


    ¡°Hidden within the body, it¡¯s much more difficult for other powerful beings to probe. It increases the challenge at least tenfold,¡± Yang Xian explained with a smile, ¡°Even common people know not to carelessly take out their wallets; wouldn¡¯t super beings know this as well?¡±


    ¡°Storage Treasures are like the wallets of Martial Path experts; therefore, they are made to be very inconspicuous, at least not easily identified at a glance,¡± Yang Xian said.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    It made a lot of sense.


    ¡°The inner space.¡± Li Yuan thought, and his palm unconsciously touched the sofa below him.


    Whoosh!


    The sofa vanished into thin air, leaving Li Yuan and Yang Xian with nothing but air beneath them.


    The atmosphere in the living room instantly turned solemn.


    Luckily!


    Both were Martial Path experts, and they remained hovering in place.


    ¡°A mistake, definitely a mistake,¡± Li Yuan said with an awkward smile, and with a thought, the sofa returned beneath them.


    ¡°No harm done, it¡¯s normal to be somewhat unfamiliar with it the first time,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, with not a trace of displeasure on her face. ¡°But, the internal space of your Storage Treasure is that large? It can accommodate a sofa?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, ¡°The internal space¡­ is roughly 3 meters in length, approximately 2 meters in width, and about 1 meter in height.¡±


    It was a rectangular prism.


    About six cubic meters of space!


    ¡°Not bad, quite large,¡± Yang Xian remarked with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s already twice as large as the ¡®standard Storage Treasure¡¯ space of the warriors from the Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Standard Storage Treasure?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Xian laughed, ¡°Like in our Starfire Martial Hall, once a warrior achieves the Flying Heaven level, they can purchase a Storage Treasure measuring 3 meters long, about 1 meter in width and height, with uniform internal space, for a price of 10 billion Blue Star Coins in the Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°10 billion?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked; the price was much lower than he had imagined.


    ¡°You think the price is low?¡± Yang Xian seemed to smile with a knowing look.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°This is a privilege only for Flying Heaven Warriors at our Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Yang Xian explained with a smile, ¡°If you want to buy a second one of the same size from the Martial Hall, it costs 300 billion Blue Star Coins, and you can only purchase one more¡­ similar to the one you have.¡±


    ¡°Mmm, if you were to sell it, its value would absolutely exceed your expectations,¡± Yang Xian said with a laugh.


    Li Yuan listened in surprise.


    A three-cubic-meter Storage Treasure, to buy one would really cost 300 billion Blue Star Coins? Even for the current Li Yuan, that was an incredibly astonishing fortune.

 Chapter 310: 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_2

    Chapter 310: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_2


    A storage treasure with double the space? Its value is definitely more than double.


    But Li Yuan surely wouldn¡¯t sell it.


    He also understood what Yang Xian meant; such a storage treasure with vast space is extremely rare¡­ easy to sell, but hard to buy back later.


    Some treasures can¡¯t be measured in Blue Star Coins.


    Moreover,


    Holding such a storage treasure, at critical moments, it can play an incredibly astonishing role.


    For example¡ªthe Black Chen Spear.


    When not in combat, Li Yuan could completely hide the long spear within the storage treasure, then the enemy may think Li Yuan is unarmed¡­ pull it out at a crucial moment.


    It would definitely give the enemy a huge surprise.


    ¡­


    ¡°Storage treasure secured,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°The third matter is about the reward for your significant contribution in the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ The war in the Mingxu Star Realm is drawing to an end.¡±


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan immediately thought of Senior Liu Jing.


    He also understood the rewards Yang Xian mentioned¡ªas the first discoverer of the small source crystal mine.


    ¡°After comprehensive exploration and tallying, your merits have been finally calculated,¡± Yang Xian said, ¡°You have two options, the first is to receive 500 million Blue Star Coins annually for a total of 20 years, amounting to 10 billion Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°The second option is a one-time reward of 5 billion Blue Star Coins,¡± Yang Xian said.


    ¡°10 billion? 5 billion?¡± Li Yuan was surprised, was the value that high?


    He remembered that Liu Jing had mentioned that the base reward should be 1 billion Blue Star Coins.


    The difference was too great.


    ¡°Senior Liu Jing isn¡¯t reliable,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, but he was also quite pleased.


    This reward was indeed generous.


    After all, even if Li Yuan won the virtual combat championship, the reward was only 2 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡°Choose the 5 billion Blue Star Coins,¡± Li Yuan said directly.


    ¡°Not the first option?¡± Yang Xian¡¯s face showed a hint of an inexplicable smile.


    ¡°20 years is too long,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Too much can happen in one night, let alone 20 years.


    Moreover, if he were still alive in 20 years, he would probably have already become a Flying Heaven Warrior, and wouldn¡¯t care about the 500 million Blue Star Coins annually¡­ on the other hand, the immediate 5 billion Blue Star Coins would be more helpful to his cultivation. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Good,¡± Yang Xian didn¡¯t persuade him otherwise, as long as Li Yuan had thought it through, they would never try to persuade him.


    Individuals make their choices and bear the consequences themselves.


    Swiftly,


    Li Yuan received a reward of 5 billion Blue Star Coins, and since it was a national (Alliance) reward, like the 2 billion grand contest reward, it was tax-free.


    Thus,


    Li Yuan¡¯s bank account balance had soared to about 8.4 billion Blue Star Coins.


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright, the money has been transferred to you, and the storage treasure given,¡± Yang Xian continued, ¡°Next, is to deliver the third command, which also comes from the Feixing Headquarters.¡±


    ¡°Feixing Headquarters?¡± Li Yuan grew even more surprised.


    Starfire Martial Hall has headquarters on the Seven Great Planets, but the headquarters on planets like Earth and the other Six Great Planets are essentially ¡®Second Level Martial Halls¡¯, serving only as headquarters for their respective planets.


    Only the Feixing Headquarters is the highest headquarters of Starfire Martial Hall, and its founder ¡®Dongfang Ji¡¯ is the ¡®Hall Master¡¯ of Feixing Headquarters.


    ¡°In view of your excellent performance in the global college Martial Path contest, your ranking within the Martial Hall has been elevated to L9 level,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°L9 level is already the authority of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, and I am also at L9 authority level.¡±


    ¡°L9 level? Flying Heaven Level authority!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, this was good stuff.


    Apart from anything else,


    Just the ¡®database¡¯ that had greatly expanded in content due to the upgrade in authority was a significant aid.


    ¡°Wait a moment, confirm the contract agreement in the ¡®Starfire Space,¡¯ and you will be directly upgraded.¡±


    ¡°Your Starfire Space will also be directly upgraded,¡± Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°Now I will introduce to you the two most important things at Flying Heaven Level authority¡ªthe Starfire Treasury! The Starfire Auction!¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan listened attentively.


    Time passed.


    After Yang Xian¡¯s detailed introduction for about 30 minutes,


    Li Yuan finally had a more complete understanding of the Flying Heaven Level authority he now possessed.


    ¡­


    Standing up,


    Li Yuan saw Yang Xian out of the villa, to the lawn outside.


    ¡°Alright, no need to see me out,¡±


    Yang Xian said with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan, after the Blue Star competition virtual battle, your name is known across Blue Star, and countless Flying Heaven Warriors are watching you¡­ both the high-level officials of Xia Country and the Martial Hall expect a lot from your growth.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t disappoint these expectations.¡±


    ¡°Although you now report directly to Hall Master Fang Hai, if there¡¯s anything in the Jiangbei region, just send a message to me,¡± Yang Xian said with a laugh, ¡°I may not be able to help you much with cultivation, but I can easily handle some minor matters.¡±


    As an L9 member, Li Yuan¡¯s authority had significantly increased, and he had also left the Starfire Jiangbei division¡¯s ranking¡­ directly under the jurisdiction of Blue Star¡¯s Hall Master Fang Hai.


    For whatever matter, he could directly reach out to Fang Hai.


    ¡°Sure, if I need to, I will definitely tell you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan understood Yang Xian¡¯s meaning.


    Now, although his own strength had not yet reached the Flying Heaven level¡­ within Starfire Martial Hall, the Seven Star Alliance, his status was already comparable to many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    In the face of someone like Yang Xian, a Hall Master of a provincial division, he couldn¡¯t assert dominance over Li Yuan.


    In some sense,


    Li Yuan could already treat many Flying Heaven Warriors as equals.


    Of course, while his nominal status was comparable, Li Yuan would still involuntarily adopt a lower profile¡­ strength is the real confidence.


    Watching Yang Xian depart,


    ¡°When I have the strength of Yu Jinghe, I¡¯ll truly be able to talk and laugh freely with these Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°For now, better keep a low profile.¡±


    ¡­


    In the high sky,


    ¡°You¡¯re going to see the Principal?¡± Dean Hai paused.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Xian revealed a smile, ¡°It¡¯s not easy to come to Kunlun Martial University, so naturally, I should go see the Hall Master.¡±

 Chapter 311: 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_3

    Chapter 311: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_3


    Yang Xian had something she didn¡¯t say.


    This time, she wasn¡¯t the one originally supposed to deliver the treasure; Dantai Lie, the Demigod, had other arrangements¡­ It was she who fought for the opportunity.


    On the one hand, she wanted to deepen her relationship with Li Yuan.


    On the other hand, it was also an excuse to see Fang Hai¡­ In Blue Star¡¯s Third Level Martial Halls, there were over a hundred Hall Masters, and the number of Flying Heaven Warriors without the rank of Third Rank Hall Master was more than ten times that¡­ There were many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Of course, even though their number might seem not small, scattered across the globe and various Star Realms, each Flying Heaven Warrior still held tremendous authority.


    But!


    There was only one Hall Master for Blue Star¡¯s main hall, and all Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star had to obey the commands of the Hall Master.


    Therefore, the chance to show one¡¯s face in front of Fang Hai was very important.


    ¡°Alright, go ahead,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh, clearly understanding Yang Xian¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡­


    After seeing off Yang Xian,


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t hesitate and quickly returned to the underground Martial Arts Room, entering the resting area.


    He logged into the virtual network, within Starfire Space.


    ¡°Master.¡± the fairy-like girl said excitedly, ¡°Master, there¡¯s a new agreement that has arrived. Once signed, you will be able to upgrade to Martial Hall L9 level.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, bring me the agreement,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Whoosh~


    The holographic projection condensed and appeared in front of Li Yuan, who immediately began to review it rapidly.


    Most of the content was similar to previous agreements.


    The most core parts were three!


    The first, as an L9 member, the Martial Hall would grant an annual subsidy of 100 million Blue Star Coins.


    The second, the right to access the ¡®Starfire Treasury¡¯ and the right to participate in the ¡®Starfire Blue Star Auction.¡¯


    The third, once summoned by the Martial Hall or Alliance, unconditional obedience to the orders is mandatory!


    ¡°Three clauses, two benefits, one obligation?¡± Li Yuan mused silently.


    The greater the privilege one enjoys, the greater the responsibility one bears.


    Flying Heaven Warriors were the backbone of human civilization, vital in the stationed forces in Second Level Star Realms and the battles waged in Third Level Star Realms¡­ they were the absolute main forces.


    The Seven Stars human civilization¡¯s ability to proliferate to this day, safely and continuously growing, aside from those at the very top, the Demigods¡­ the vast number of Flying Heaven Warriors could not be underestimated.


    After all, no matter how strong the Demigods were, they couldn¡¯t protect every entrance to the Star Realms, nor could they cover every corner of Blue Star.


    Nor could they retrieve a large number of treasures from various Star Realms.


    ¡°An annual subsidy of 100 million Blue Star Coins isn¡¯t much,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    It was very little for a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°The key is the second clause, the Starfire Treasury, the Starfire Blue Star Auction,¡± Li Yuan said to himself.


    Without much hesitation,


    Li Yuan completed the electronic signing, and quickly, the Starfire Space he was in began to change.


    The entire space became more luxurious, and many new features appeared, such as contacting the Hall Master, connecting with Flying Heaven Warriors globally, a brand-new database, Starfire Treasury, and so on.


    With the upgraded privileges, there was an earth-shattering change.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, I want to view the Starfire Treasury,¡± Li Yuan said directly.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Xiao Yu replied.


    Hum~ The light converged, forming a large, flowing-light-emitting holographic screen, on which dense text descriptions and videos appeared,


    As well as specific categories.


    ¡°So many treasures,¡± Li Yuan gasped.


    There were many categories, such as Origin Power Weapons, Star Techniques, Secret Manuals, spirit strengthening, body strengthening, Comprehension enhancement, recovery categories,¡­


    Each major category was further divided into many subcategories.


    For example, Star Techniques were divided into First Layer Star Technique, Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique¡­ Ninefold Star Technique.


    For example, Origin Power Weapons were divided into Fourth Rank, Third Rank Fine, Third Rank Medium, Third Rank Inferior, Second Rank Fine, and so on.


    The divisions were very detailed.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s the treasury that Senior Yang Xian mentioned,¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed, also feeling slightly shocked.


    Li Yuan began to check each one.


    Soon, Li Yuan found several treasures he wanted.


    ¡°Origin Purple Longevity Pill, Second Level, 50 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 999 (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, Third Rank, 20 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 2 (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit, Third Rank, 30 billion Blue Star Coins, remaining purchasable 0 (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Storage Treasure, Third Rank (3 cubic meters), 10 billion Blue Star Coins, limited to purchasing one piece (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡°Storage Treasure, Third Rank (3 cubic meters), 300 billion Blue Star Coins, limited to purchasing one piece (contribution balance 100 billion)¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan continued to check other treasures.


    He gradually understood that the Starfire Treasury listed a large number of treasures, like Second Rank treasures, which were basically in unlimited supply.


    Third Rank treasures? Most had very limited quantities, or were out of stock.


    Following that,


    Li Yuan once again opened the ¡®Star Techniques¡¯ category and discovered that learning those below Third Layer Star Technique was basically free¡­ Starting from Fourth Layer Star Technique, there was a fee, and the prices were extremely high.


    ¡°¡±Blood Shadow Incarnation¡±, Fourth Layer Star Technique (up to Third Layer), learning requires 100 billion Blue Star Coins (no contribution required, note: please try the free introductory part first, if you cannot master the introduction, do not purchase the full content.)¡±


    ¡°¡±True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡±, Unknown Star Technique (first two layers), learning requires 200 billion Blue Star Coins (no need¡­)¡±


    ¡°¡±Myriad Gold Divine Body¡±, Seventh Layer Star Technique, insufficient authority, please apply.¡±


    ¡­


    A vast array of Star Techniques.


    Looking around, the holographic screen was densely packed with thousands of Star Techniques.


    The majority were First to Third Layer Star Techniques, and those above Fourth Layer accounted for only one-tenth.


    ¡°With my authority, I can learn up to Sixth Layer Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Seventh Layer Star Technique? I must apply to higher levels to have a chance to learn it.¡± S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Chapter 312: Chapter 229: A Brand New Future (Unity)_4


    As for the Eighth Layer Star Technique, Ninefold Star Technique?


    According to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Dean Hai, there are indeed a few incomplete ones within the Seven Stars human civilization.


    But Li Yuan couldn¡¯t access them.


    ¡°It must be that my authority is insufficient; these high-level Star Techniques are all secret,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    It made sense, after all.


    Even if the Ninefold Star Technique couldn¡¯t be cultivated, even if it was incomplete, it was still a ¡®Supreme Star Technique¡¯, the foundation of a civilization¡­ it couldn¡¯t be easily disseminated.


    ¡°The channel through which a Flying Heaven Warrior purchases treasures indeed far surpasses that of a Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    Take Li Yang, for example, he was doing pretty well among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists, but purchasing a Third Rank treasure was not easy for him either¡­ he had to rely on all kinds of connections.


    But for Flying Heaven Warriors, as long as they wait in the Starfire Treasury, as soon as a treasure is available, they can immediately take it¡­ it¡¯s much easier.


    The difference in strength leads to a difference in status, and naturally a difference in perspective.


    ¡°To learn Star Techniques, Secret Manuals, and other non-physical items, one simply needs enough money to study them directly,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°But purchasing Heavenly Materials Treasures? That requires contribution balance.¡±


    What is contribution balance?


    A Flying Heaven Level authority, in the Martial Hall¡¯s ¡®Starfire Treasury¡¯, can buy a large number of treasures, but obviously not in unlimited quantities.


    There¡¯s a limit to everything.


    Every person will receive ¡¯10 billion Blue Star Coin contribution balance¡¯ granted for free by the Martial Hall.


    This represents the ability to purchase treasures worth a total of 10 billion; once the contribution balance is spent, then no matter how rich one is, they cannot buy anything.


    Of course, there¡¯s another way ¡ª contribution!


    For example, contributing a 10 billion worth of treasures to the Martial Hall, apart from receiving 9.5 billion Blue Star Coins, one would also receive a contribution quota of 9.5 billion.


    ¡°For a treasure worth 10 billion, the Martial Hall takes a cut of 500 million,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The Starfire Treasury is essentially a huge intermediary platform, where the Martial Hall¡¯s many Flying Heaven Warriors traverse the Star Realm, sell their acquired treasures to the treasury, and then buy what they need from the treasury¡­ creating a positive cycle, allowing the treasury to keep operating in a cycle.¡±


    This requires tremendous control, as well as having all the Martial Artists believe in the system.


    And the 5% taken is one of the sources of operational funds for the entire Martial Hall.


    Such as the cultivation of talents, which requires a large amount of money.


    Of course.


    Even so, there are still many rare treasures that are in high demand but low supply, and there are many powerful individuals with plenty of money but no contribution balance.


    Hence, there are auctions.


    Every year.


    The Starfire Martial Hall will hold an auction on Blue Star, auctioning a large number of rare treasures¡­ those with Flying Heaven Level authority can participate.


    ¡°The next auction, in December every year?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Ten months from now?¡±


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He was well aware that although he had obtained Flying Heaven Level authority and had more than eighty billion Blue Star Coins¡­ which seemed like a lot, it was nothing compared to the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Moreover.


    ¡°I¡¯m only at Level 19 right now, most treasures are not of much significance to me,¡± Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    It¡¯s not that they are useless.


    It¡¯s that the cost-effectiveness is too low.


    ¡°What¡¯s truly effective for me here are these Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile, ¡°Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique, all free to learn?¡±


    Of course, there¡¯s also a limit, up to 20 techniques.


    After all, even among Flying Heaven Warriors, it¡¯s common to only cultivate two or three Star Techniques.


    ¡­


    After perusing the Starfire Treasury and looking at the ¡®cultivation suggestions¡¯ sent by the Starfire Martial Hall,


    and checking the large amount of new data in the database,


    Li Yuan had a vague idea of his own cultivation path going forward.


    At that time.


    Dean Hai arrived.


    ¡°Dean,¡± Li Yuan immediately invited the visitor into the living room, and they sat down.


    Pouring tea for his guest.


    ¡°You should have looked through the Starfire Treasury and also seen the cultivation suggestion letter the Starfire Martial Hall sent you,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen both,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°There are six months until you go to Feixing,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°You don¡¯t need to participate in the Blue Star combat competition in June anymore, so what are you thinking now?¡±


    ¡°First, become a Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan said after a moment¡¯s thought, ¡°Then go to the Second Level Star Realm to explore.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just, I haven¡¯t decided exactly which Star Realm to go to yet.¡±


    Going to the Star Realm is a must.


    Simply being short of reaching a 40% Spiritual Awakening Level is already a reason enough for Li Yuan to make the trip.

 Chapter 313: 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Extra 27)

    Chapter 313: Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Extra 27)


    ¡°After becoming a Prime Warrior, to venture into the Second Level Star Realm?¡± Dean Hai nodded slightly, ¡°There is something I need to remind you of.¡±


    ¡°Please speak, Dean,¡± Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°This time, to lure out the lurking alien Flying Heaven level, the principal and others have put you at the forefront of the storm,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Although in the end you killed the alien Flying Heaven level¡­ you must understand, the alien forces watching you are not only from one faction.¡±


    ¡°The strongest two alien forces that are enemies of our Blue Star are the Tianliang Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Like the black dragon I killed before, it actually belonged to the Cloud Beast Civilization,¡± said Dean Hai.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan was surprised; this was the first time he had heard this.


    He knew quite a bit about the Tianliang Clan.


    But the Cloud Beast Civilization? He had never come into contact with it before.


    ¡°When you cultivate within the school, with the Principal¡¯s deterrence and many Flying Heaven Warriors around, the probability of alien assassination attempts on you is very small, as everyone cherishes their lives,¡± said Dean Hai, ¡°But there will definitely be people always monitoring you.¡±


    ¡°Always tracking your movements.¡±


    ¡°Once you leave the school, various alien forces will certainly crazily track you,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°In our civilization, there are many traitors and scoundrels who dare not attack you directly¡­ but many would dare to leak your whereabouts.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart.


    Indeed, if they were real aliens, under his Divine Palace¡¯s inquiry, they would mostly reveal themselves.


    What he should be most vigilant about are the traitors.


    Because you never know who the internal spy is, perhaps some inconspicuous First Rank Warriors or Prime Warriors.


    Even some high-ranking Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, or Flying Heaven Warriors, may trade with aliens in secret for personal gain or for some treasures.


    This is unavoidable.


    ¡°What do you mean, Dean?¡± asked Li Yuan.


    ¡°My personal suggestion is that from now until July, you engage in concealed cultivation within the school, then head directly to Feixing,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°With your comprehension, your strength will also progress swiftly.¡±


    ¡°With the rate of your progress, perhaps by July, your Spear Technique could even step into the Fifth Stage High Rank.¡±


    ¡°After you receive the complete Martial God Inheritance, your strength will transform even further.¡±


    ¡°The Martial God Inheritance is one of the greatest secrets of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°You are still young; there¡¯s no need to hurry. Wait until you return from Feixing with the Martial God Inheritance, and your Physical Quality reaches High Rank Prime Warrior level¡­ Then it will not be too late to go risk life and death in the Second Level Star Realm,¡± said Dean Hai solemnly.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    To cultivate step by step until he became a high-level Prime Warrior? How long would that take?


    But Li Yuan could sense the change in Dean Hai¡¯s attitude.


    Before, Dean Hai was very encouraging of him going to face life and death challenges, but now he was advising against it¡­ which was enough to show the hidden risks.


    ¡°Dean, I will carefully consider it,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Even if I decide to venture out, it won¡¯t be until I¡¯ve become a Prime Warrior, at least a good half-month later.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m just giving you a suggestion; what you decide to do is still up to you,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°If you really decide to venture into the Star Realm, remember to contact me in advance after choosing a Star Realm, and I will help you analyze the pros and cons.¡± S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°At the same time, I will arrange to hide your tracks in advance.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± said Li Yuan, feeling Dean Hai¡¯s deep concern.


    ¡­


    After seeing off Dean Hai.


    Li Yuan returned to the underground Martial Arts Room and fell into deep thought.


    ¡°There¡¯s really no need for me to participate in the practical combat competition in June,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The purpose of the global martial arts competition held by the alliance¡¯s higher-ups.


    Is to select the very top geniuses of each session.


    Like in the Blue Star competition¡¯s virtual battle and practical combat, the top three directly get the Martial God Inheritance slots.


    Therefore, as usual, those who break into the top three in the virtual battles typically won¡¯t participate in the practical combat afterward.


    The same goes.


    Once someone breaks into the top three in either the virtual battle or practical combat in one of the Blue Star competitions, they usually won¡¯t participate in the following session.


    ¡°Dean Hai¡¯s suggestion for me to keep cultivating in seclusion isn¡¯t wrong; in some sense, it is very correct,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Right now, indeed, there is no need for me to take great risks or venture out too recklessly.¡±


    Life-and-death adventuring is to temper oneself.


    But there is a bottom line in this; venturing into the Star Realm is for tempering, not simply courting death.


    If the risk of falling is too great, and the benefits not sufficient, then it is best to give up.


    ¡°But with a 40% Spiritual Awakening Level, should I wait until after returning from Feixing?¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    That would be waiting too long.


    Once the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 40%, to carry out the fourth Origin Power infusion.


    By Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, that would save him several months or even longer on his Origin Power cultivation time.


    The cultivation of Physical Quality and Life Level for Prime Warriors takes much longer compared to First Rank Warriors.


    ¡°A significant increase in Physical Quality would further nurture the soul,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°It would also make the vitality within my Life Star stronger¡­ whether in cultivating Star Techniques or awakening more Star Meridians, it¡¯s very beneficial.¡±


    ¡°With a strengthened foundation, it¡¯s an all-around improvement, so when I go to Feixing, my advantages will be even greater,¡± Li Yuan also harbored ambitions within his heart.


    One step ahead, all steps ahead.


    Li Yuan had a simple thought; he had spoken to Star Lord Bai Shan and others before¡­ after reaching Feixing, the Martial God Inheritance slots also varied in rank.


    Upon arriving at Feixing, he would not only be facing the geniuses of Blue Star but also those from the other Six Great Planets.


    Geniuses gather.


    He must become stronger, to quickly strive for a First Rank Martial God Inheritance slot.


    And perhaps even a Special Rank Martial God Inheritance slot.


    ¡°Secondly, once the Spiritual Awakening Level reaches the 40% limit, there may be a chance to push the limit to 50%,¡± Li Yuan silently pondered.

 Chapter 314: 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional Chapter 27)_2

    Chapter 314: Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional Chapter 27)_2


    If the level of Spiritual Awakening reaches 50%, it¡¯s not just about Origin Power entering the body, but also unlocking the second Spiritual Guidance.


    This is crucial.


    ¡°Still, I must go,¡± Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan made a decision, ¡°But there¡¯s no need to make a spectacle of it, nor is there a need to stay too long in the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡­


    Having made up his mind, Li Yuan didn¡¯t hesitate any further and restarted his cultivation for the day.


    ¡°For the next period of time.¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll focus on cultivating ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯ and ¡®All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡¯ to fully enhance my Physical Quality,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Next, is to continue honing my skills.¡±


    ¡°Third, I must not slack off for a moment. As long as my spiritual power recovers and my body can bear it, I shall continue to strive for awakening the Life Star.¡±


    ¡°Strive to awaken more Star Meridians as soon as possible.¡±


    The Star Meridians are critical, arguably the most important foundation on the path of Martial Arts Cultivation.


    They are the key to how far one can go in the future.


    ¡°Once I become a Prime Warrior, I¡¯ll immediately apply for life and death challenges,¡± Li Yuan planned his next steps, ¡°I¡¯ll set off quietly, elevate my level of Spiritual Awakening to 40% by defeating enemies in the Star Realm to accomplish Origin Power entering my body, then return to school immediately.¡±


    By Li Yuan¡¯s estimate, this whole process might take just a few days to a fortnight.


    If he concealed it well, perhaps even the Alien Race wouldn¡¯t know he had left Kunlun Martial University.


    Planning is important.


    Only by thinking through and following a plan can one move faster and more steadily.


    ¡°In fact, the most important treasure for me right now should be the Earth Origin Crystal,¡±


    ¡°If I can completely cultivate the first two stages of the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯, perhaps, my compatibility with the Earth Vein will reach an astonishing level,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°However, at the very least, after¡­ becoming a Prime Warrior and spending three to five months, I can then report this matter back to the principal.¡±


    The secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace must not be revealed.


    ¡­


    Time flew by, and day by day, the storm of the virtual competition aftermath of the Blue Star competition completely dissipated.


    With each round of promotions, Li Yuan¡¯s V-blog fans reached an astonishing eighty million. However¡­ since Li Yuan never posted any updates,


    coupled with the gradual dispersal of the various promotions by the Starfire Martial Hall, this number of fans has essentially reached its limit for the short term.


    Nevertheless,


    these disturbances didn¡¯t affect Li Yuan, as he was wholeheartedly immersed in his cultivation.


    Every day, he began with Visualization Method and basic Origin Power Technique training from the early morning.


    Every two or three days, he would attempt ¡®Law Creation¡¯ to try and awaken more Life Stars.


    The rest of his nearly all time was spent on Spear Technique cultivation.


    ¡­


    In a huge Martial Arts Room, over a hundred meters long and wide, a specially designed room by Kunlun Martial University.


    Li Yuan, dressed in a specially made Origin Power Battle Suit and wielding a Long Spear.


    Not far from him, was Li Yang holding a Combat Saber, looking at him with a chuckling smile.


    ¡°Teacher, let¡¯s start today¡¯s actual combat training,¡± Li Yuan said seriously.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Just like yesterday, I will suppress my strength and speed to Level 19. You try to feel the changes in my Sword Technique,¡± Li Yang said.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    Boom!


    Li Yang moved in an instant; with one step forward, his aura became terrifyingly powerful, like a mountain barreling towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s form moved, and like a stream of light or lightning, he charged towards Li Yang. His Long Spear, like a dragon, accompanied by a piercing whoosh, instantly unleashed a sky-covering barrage of Spear Light.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡±


    Layers of dazzling saber brilliance bloomed, easily blocking the spear shadows thrown by Li Yuan. The weapons collided fiercely, and the terrifying impact made it impossible for Li Yuan to completely deflect it even when executing the True Intent Killing Move ¡®Star River Spiral¡¯.


    He had to keep retreating.


    In contrast, Li Yang¡¯s Sword Technique, although each strike seemed not strong, was continuous and explosively powerful, relentlessly pressuring Li Yuan.


    Every strike subtly channeled the power of heaven and earth, with incredible might!


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Annihilation,¡± Li Yang¡¯s Combat Saber suddenly changed its course, the blade¡¯s light striking atop the Spear Light, as if targeting the vital points of Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique, causing his Spear Momentum to falter in an instant.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More blades of light cleaved down, making it impossible for Li Yuan to withstand the assault any longer. His Spear Momentum completely collapsed, and his body was hurled backward, retreating dozens of meters before stopping.


    With the protection of the Origin Power Battle Suit, he wasn¡¯t injured.


    Li Yang also came to a stop with the flow of his movements.


    ¡°Very good.¡±


    ¡°Your progress is indeed fast. When the great competition ended, and during our first actual combat training, you could barely withstand more than ten strikes from me even with your True Intent Killing Move,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°But now you can withstand more than thirty strikes.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s because my physical quality has improved,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°And since you suppressed your strength and speed, if we had the same physical quality, I would only lose faster.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? I am a Fifth Stage High Rank in skills, and how long have you just stepped into the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Improvement in skill is still improvement, no need to be modest.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Indeed,


    it had been over ten days since the Blue Star competition ended, and his dedicated cultivation had indeed brought about rapid progress.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 19.9 (First Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 68,800 kilograms


    Speed: 113.2 meters per second


    Spiritual Power: Level 30.5


    Willpower: Level 32


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 37.9% (Current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: Level 11 (Cultivation efficiency 10+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 41%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 41%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ (First Stage Level 6:6)


    ¡­


    Over these ten days,


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality and skill level had improved greatly, especially since his skills had already crossed 5 stages at 40%.


    At this rate of progress, in a few months, Li Yuan would be able to reach Fifth Stage 59%.

 Chapter 315: 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional Chapter 27)_3

    Chapter 315: Chapter 230 Concealed Cultivation! Three Star Meridians (Additional Chapter 27)_3


    ¡°Li Yuan, your physical quality should have reached 19.9,¡± Li Yang asked, ¡°You¡¯re getting closer and closer to becoming a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°It is indeed very close,¡± Li Yuan nodded, ¡°Now, even in a Unity of Heaven and Man state, I can faintly feel a trickle of Origin Power entering my body¡­ My body is very active.¡±


    This was an explanation that Li Yuan had prepared earlier.


    He needed to gradually reveal his talent in regards to Star Meridians.


    ¡°Oh? You can sense it now? Good! Good! Good!¡± Li Yang indeed showed happiness, ¡°Then try sensing the ¡®Life Star space¡¯; perhaps you can awaken your Life Star a bit earlier.¡±


    ¡°Haha, being able to start autonomously absorbing traces of Origin Power at level 19.9, your Star Meridian talent must be very high,¡± Li Yang said excitedly.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll try as much as possible,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡­


    Back in his own villa.


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve reached Life Level 19.9, my Fist Strength and speed still fall short of the true First Order Limit,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having the Divine Palace panel allowed Li Yuan to be very clear about what stage he was at.


    ¡°Another week or so.¡±


    ¡°Once my Fist Strength exceeds 70,000 kilograms, I will try to activate the Star Meridian and achieve the status of Prime Warrior in one go,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    There were two paths to becoming a Prime Warrior.


    One, if you have a High Rank Cultivation Method that fits you, then after meeting all the requirements, you could follow the guidance of the Cultivation Method¡­ Try to operate the three sensed Star Meridians that fit, prompting the body to rapidly complete the Transformation and become a Prime Warrior.


    The other path was for Martial Artists without a High Rank Cultivation Method.


    In that case, as long as their physical quality reached 19.9, they could continue to improve their physique¡­ until they fully activated Origin Power even if they initially failed to do so. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Typically, the minimum Fist Strength required for one¡¯s physique is 70,000 kilograms, and it could go up to about 80,000 kilograms. Even those Martial Artists without a Cultivation Method could sense the traces of wandering Origin Power in the world and begin to absorb it for themselves.


    ¡­


    One day later, late at night, Li Yuan tried to awaken his Life Star as usual.


    Quite abruptly.


    ¡°Hum~¡± An invisible fluctuation swept by, followed by a faint tremble of Li Yuan¡¯s body, and then countless points of light converged into a thread-like stream that passed over Li Yuan¡¯s body, circulating all around him.


    ¡°Finally.¡±


    ¡°Another Star Meridian has awakened,¡± Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile.


    At that moment, the three Star Meridians, reflecting each other, made Li Yuan¡¯s aura quite exceptional.


    ¡°First Layer Star Vein, the cultivation efficiency increase is indeed just 0.5,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel and muttered to himself.


    But his heart was filled with immense joy.


    Awakening three Star Meridians, although two of them were still just First Layer Star Veins.


    But an important barrier on the road to becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior had been unknowingly breached by Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    In the distant Feixing.


    Inside an enormously grand city that itself seemed like a piece of crimson flame.


    Above the city, an immense flying craft hovered, marked with a striking ¡®flame¡¯ emblem.


    If some of Feixing¡¯s powerhouses saw this emblem, they would recognize it at a glance¡ªBlazing Flame Family.


    This was a great family with an illustrious reputation within Feixing¡¯s upper echelons, and this city was almost their fiefdom.


    In a twelve-story building, in the top-floor office.


    ¡°Many people died?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible! The sixteen people from the Blazing Flame Family are among the best in the First Rank,¡± the young man in a blue Martial Path outfit said in shock, immediately becoming anxious, ¡°How is my little sister?¡±


    ¡°Second brother, stay calm.¡±


    ¡°According to the messages sent back, a large Origin Crystal vein was born in the World within Worlds, the source of a major battle,¡± the man in the black robe spoke somberly, ¡°At the core of the vein, there is likely to contain ¡®Earth Origin Crystal¡¯ and ¡®Fire Divine Crystal¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Based on the token¡¯s sensing, little sister is still alive, but we¡¯ve temporarily lost contact with her,¡± he continued.

 Chapter 316: 231: The Secret of World within Worlds! Invitation (Request for Monthly Ticket)

    Chapter 316: Chapter 231: The Secret of World within Worlds! Invitation (Request for Monthly Ticket)


    ¡°Lost contact?¡±


    The young man in the blue Martial Path uniform¡¯s face changed, ¡°Little sister is the most important of their group, definitely equipped with the best communication device, how could she lose contact?¡±


    ¡°No, this won¡¯t do.¡±


    ¡°I must find mother,¡± the young man in the blue Martial Path uniform turned and was about to leave.


    ¡°Second brother, calm down,¡± the young man in the black robe shouted angrily, ¡°The affairs of World within Worlds contain the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s biggest secrets, can they be inquired by you and me? Even Dad shouldn¡¯t interfere, don¡¯t forget, our surname is Lin, not Flame.¡±


    ¡°By all rights, we should know nothing about World within Worlds.¡±


    The young man in the blue Martial Path uniform fell silent.


    That¡¯s right!


    Although the blood of the Blazing Flame Family flowed in their veins, they were only peripheral members; they didn¡¯t even qualify to enter World within Worlds¡­ Only their sister, who could cultivate the ¡°Nirvana Divine Scripture,¡± could become the core member of the Blazing Flame Family despite her foreign surname.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s journey to World within Worlds was a secret and not disclosed to them.


    They had learned of it through their own secret channels¡­ The inheritance of the Blazing Flame Family had been decaying for over a hundred years, and with generations attempting to break through to World within Worlds, that naturally led to many leaks.


    ¡°Big brother, what should we do?¡± the young man in the blue Martial Path uniform clenched his teeth, ¡°Just wait around?¡±


    ¡°Inform Dad of the details. He is a Flying Heaven Warrior and also a Six-Star Councilor of the alliance; naturally, he will figure out a way,¡± murmured the young man in the black robe.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send the message right away.¡±


    ¡­


    As Lin Lanyue¡¯s two older brothers were discussing, in that super-large aircraft hovering above the city,


    In one of its meeting rooms, a group of powerful beings was arguing non-stop.


    ¡°World within Worlds has always been located in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, extremely hidden, with only one entrance and exit controlled by us.¡±


    ¡°How could the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s ¡®Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯ have discovered it? And how did they open an entrance and exit that we were unaware of, without us noticing?¡±


    ¡°Too strange!¡±


    ¡°I suspect someone has leaked the true secret of World within Worlds; we must investigate, thoroughly,¡± one existence after another spoke up.


    As one of the strongest ¡®high-order Spiritual Nature families¡¯ within the Seven Stars human civilization, they were the highest echelon of the Blazing Flame Family.


    Everyone participating in this meeting was at the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Silence.¡±


    A cold voice rang out, ¡°We naturally need to investigate the leak, but right now, the most urgent matter is rescue.¡±


    The speaker was a middle-aged man in a black robe adorned with a pattern of a flame divine bird.


    ¡°Right now, sixteen young ones have entered World within Worlds, fourteen of them are already dead, with only two still alive, but they too have lost contact,¡± said the middle-aged man in the black robe, ¡°Among them, Lanyue had already lost contact before the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s attack.¡±


    ¡°What? Lost contact before the attack?¡±


    ¡°Could it be?¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°How were we not aware?¡± The Flying Heaven Warriors present were shocked, setting aside their dispute.


    Most of them had entered World within Worlds before and naturally understood what this implied.


    ¡°Must be rescued.¡±


    ¡°We must rescue Lin Lanyue.¡±


    ¡°To rescue someone, we must delve deep into World within Worlds,¡± another old man in casual clothing spoke up gravely, ¡°but the Fierce Feather Star Realm is a Second Level Star Realm¡­ World within Worlds has even sturdier barriers¡­ Leaving is no concern, but entry requires one to be a First Rank lifeform.¡±


    ¡°And preferably, the top-tier ones who can almost reach Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°After all, according to the messages those young ones sent before their deaths, they encountered Prime Warriors of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who seemed to have broken through immediately after sneaking into World within Worlds,¡± said the old man in casual clothing.


    All the Flying Heaven Warriors listened intently, their expressions changing.


    Prime Warriors?


    The meeting was called abruptly; most of them were still not fully briefed on the details.


    ¡°The situation is dangerous,¡± the middle-aged man in the black robe said slowly, ¡°Reliant on just our family, we simply cannot dispatch so many First Rank Martial Artists on the verge of breaking through¡­ let alone truly formidable geniuses.¡±


    ¡°I propose we report the matter to the alliance and request their assistance,¡± the middle-aged man in the black robe offered his opinion.


    ¡°No way.¡±


    ¡°Patriarch, absolutely not, wouldn¡¯t this publicize the secrets of World within Worlds?¡± Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Not acceptable.¡± Immediately, several Flying Heaven Warriors voiced their objections, but many more remained silent, contemplating the Patriarch¡¯s suggestion.


    ¡°You several, shut up,¡± the old man in casual clothing frowned, ¡°If this was the past and something major happened inside World within Worlds, we would rather lose a bunch of lives than reveal the secret.¡±


    ¡°But what about now?¡±


    ¡°People from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have already infiltrated.¡±


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization is the most terrifying civilization we know of¡­ The overall strengths displayed by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom are at least on par with our entire Seven Stars human civilization, if not stronger¡­ How can we resist with just our family?¡± the old man in casual clothing said coldly.


    ¡°Time is not on our side.¡±


    ¡°Even if we reveal the secrets of World within Worlds to the alliance, as long as we can retake World within Worlds, at most other geniuses will be arranged by the alliance to enter, but we will still hold the majority,¡± he continued.


    ¡°However, if we give the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom some time, once they ascertain the true secret of World within Worlds, they will definitely invest massive resources and fortify it beyond penetration. By then, even if the alliance contributes resources, both manpower and materials, it will be difficult to retake it, and we will get nothing. Our family will also fall into complete decline,¡± the old man in casual clothing shouted angrily.


    The meeting room fell silent.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s vote,¡± the young man in the black robe said slowly, ¡°Whether to agree with the Great Elder¡¯s proposal.¡±


    ¡°Agree!¡±


    ¡°Abstain.¡±


    ¡°Abstain.¡±


    ¡°Agree.¡±


    ¡°Agree¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Nineteen votes agree, six abstain, with nine elders not attending the meeting; the total number of agree votes is more than half, and the number opposing is less than one-third,¡± the middle-aged man in the black robe declared, ¡°The resolution passes.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°I¡¯ll be responsible for contacting Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Elder Yan Chan, your husband ¡®Lin Yue¡¯ is a Six-Star Councilor and a part of the higher echelons of the Starry Sky Martial Hall. Since Lin Lanyue is your daughter¡­ it falls to you to make contact with the Starry Sky side,¡± said the man in the black robe.


    ¡°Alright.¡± In a corner of the meeting room, a woman in purple who had been silent gave a light nod.


    ¡°Great Elder, you¡¯ll be responsible for making contact with the Black Stone Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± The elder in casual wear nodded.


    ¡°The rest of the elders, please also immediately use your networks at full capacity and see if you can gather a group of First Order Limit Martial Artists who are close to a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°Whether the century-old foundation of my Blazing Flame Clan can be preserved all depends on this move.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± more than twenty Flying Heaven Warriors said in unison, knowing the importance of the matter at hand.


    Perhaps some elders had different opinions or thoughts.


    But once the family meeting made a decision, they would naturally work together wholeheartedly.


    ¡­


    March 2nd.


    At Blue Star¡¯s Kunlun Martial University, a little after one in the afternoon.


    On the grass outside Li Yuan¡¯s villa, the essence of spring was vibrant and beautiful, and the sun in the sky didn¡¯t feel too scorching.


    ¡°Teacher, take a look,¡± Li Yuan said as he held the Black Chen Spear, ¡°The ¡®Galaxy Spiral¡¯ True Intent Ultimate Move I previously created actually wasn¡¯t deliberately pursuing the power to stir the heavens and earth.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thrust of Li Yuan¡¯s long spear, the tip sliced through the vast sky, causing the surrounding air to tremble and even faint glimmers of starlight to burst forth, spectacularly radiant.


    He was drawing upon the power of the heavens and the earth!


    ¡°Following the heart¡¯s intent, following the sensation, rather than pursuing deliberately,¡± Li Yuan laughed, ¡°Unknowingly, I broke through.¡±


    ¡°Follow the sensation?¡± Li Yang stood to the side, deep in thought.


    In recent days,


    Li Yang had been accompanying Li Yuan in combat training. Naturally, in terms of skill level, Li Yang was higher¡­ but as Li Yuan made swift progress, his skillset was quickly catching up to Li Yang¡¯s.


    Intermediate Fifth Stage skills, High Rank Fifth Stage skills¡­ the fundamental difference wasn¡¯t that big.


    Especially in terms of creating ¡®True Intent Ultimate Moves,¡¯ Li Yuan definitely had the final say.


    So, it was less about Li Yang teaching Li Yuan and more about mutual exchange and learning from each other.


    Some of Li Yuan¡¯s words had given Li Yang much inspiration.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been somewhat anxious,¡± Li Yang laughed, ¡°I¡¯ve practiced more Third Rank Secret Manuals than you, my skill level is higher than yours, and I also have a Flying Heaven Level soul¡­ Yet, I¡¯m somewhat impatient, all the while thinking about creating a True Intent Killing Move.¡±


    With Li Yang¡¯s level of skill,


    once he created one or two True Intent Killing Moves, he could step into Fifth Stage Perfection and hope to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Haha, with such profound skills, Teacher, you¡¯re sure to achieve the Flying Heaven status,¡± Li Yuan said with a laugh.


    In these recent days talking with Li Yang, Li Yuan learned that the ¡®Galaxy Spiral¡¯ he had created was a True Intent Ultimate Move, touching upon the threshold of breaking into Fifth Stage Perfection.


    Of course,


    Li Yuan was aware that there were differences between True Intent Ultimate Moves¡­ like the one he had created, the power invoked from the heavens and earth couldn¡¯t compare to those of the Ultimate Moves of the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    After all, the insights and accumulations of the Flying Heaven Warriors far surpassed his own.


    But at least, among the Intermediate Fifth Stage Martial Artists, when it came to skill alone, he had already found few rivals, and with his skill improvement and enhanced insights, the power of his True Intent Ultimate Move would naturally grow stronger and stronger.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan sensed something.


    ¡°Dean Hai?¡± Li Yang also perceived it, both of them aware that a Flying Heaven Level presence was approaching.


    ¡°`


    Huh!


    Several hundred meters in the high sky, a genially attractive young man in blue clothes had suddenly appeared and was descending rapidly¡ªit was none other than Dean Hai.


    ¡°Li Yang, Li Yuan, you two seem quite leisurely, discussing skills with each other,¡± Dean Hai nodded slightly.


    ¡°It¡¯s more like Li Yuan enlightening me,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    ¡°Dean Hai, is there something you need?¡± Li Yuan realized that the other party must have something to discuss, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have come to find him unexpectedly.


    After all, it was only the day before yesterday that he had sought Li Yuan out¡ªit would be unlikely for him to come again so soon without good reason.


    Moreover, if it was not a significant matter, a simple message would have sufficed. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yang, I have something to discuss with Li Yuan; you may return first,¡± Dean Hai instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yang nodded his head, acknowledging.


    He had a clear understanding of his own position; since the Blue Star competition ended, he had quickly realized¡­ his student, Li Yuan, had completely exceeded his expectations.


    In some sense, within Xia Country and the Seven Star Alliance, Li Yuan¡¯s status had already surpassed that of his own teacher.


    Li Yang promptly left.


    On the grass.


    Only Li Yuan and Dean Hai remained.


    ¡°Dean, why don¡¯t we go inside the villa and sit down for a cup of tea?¡± Li Yuan suggested.


    ¡°No need,¡± Dean Hai shook his head and said, ¡°After notifying you, I still have to inform several other students¡­ This matter comes from the higher-ups in the Alliance.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan voiced his puzzlement.


    A First Rank Martial Artist like himself, what could be so important that the upper echelons of the Alliance had to send down a message?


    Furthermore, based on what Dean Hai implied, it seemed as though the matter involved more people than just him.


    ¡°It¡¯s about a hidden treasure within the civilization,¡± Dean Hai waved his hand.


    Weng~


    An invisible force enveloped the two of them, like an invisible barrier separating the inside from the outside, preventing eavesdropping from the outside world.


    ¡°Using the power of heaven and earth?¡± Li Yuan perceived the action and was secretly stunned.


    At present, he himself could also use a small amount of the power of heaven and earth, but his control was far inferior to Dean Hai¡¯s¡­ This was a true master of the True Intent of heaven and earth.


    ¡°This treasure is located within a Second Rank Star Realm and had always been controlled by a high Spiritual Nature family within the Alliance, the ¡®Flame Clan¡¯,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°I believe I have mentioned this family to you before.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The first time he met Dean Hai, the latter had mentioned the ¡®Flame Clan¡¯, a family of formidable reputation. Due to their special bloodline, they also possessed a very special Cultivation Technique, the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯, which had given rise to dozens of Flying Heaven Martial Artists within their family.


    ¡°This family¡¯s treasure is of great importance,¡± said Dean Hai, ¡°but they have now come into conflict with the ¡®Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯ from the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ and the Alliance has decided to organize a rescue.¡±


    Immortal Ruins Civilization? Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    Since gaining access to the Flying Heaven Level, Li Yuan had been perusing a substantial amount of confidential information in his spare time from cultivating¡­ and there was significant emphasis on the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Other foreign domains such as the Tianliang Civilization and Cloud Beast Civilization, when compared to the Seven Stars human civilization, are strong and weak in different aspects, but generally, they all are on the same level.


    But the Immortal Ruins Civilization alone, even just the tip of the iceberg they reveal, far exceeds the Seven Stars human civilization.


    It is the most terrifying civilization known to the Seven Star Alliance, without equal.


    This time, the Seven Star Alliance was actually in conflict with the Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    ¡°This treasure land is a World within Worlds in the Second Level Star Realm, accessible only to First Order life forms,¡± Dean Hai explained, ¡°The matter is of great importance, and the Alliance has already mobilized a large number of Martial Artists close to the First Order Limit to enter.¡±


    ¡°Looking at our entire civilization, in terms of strength, you should be among the very top of First Order life forms, and you might even be the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, the higher-ups specifically asked me to come and inquire whether you would be willing to go?¡±

 Chapter 318: 232: Relic of the Gods (Request for Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 318: Chapter 232: Relic of the Gods (Request for Monthly Votes)


    Swiftly, Dean Hai revealed more intelligence about the World within Worlds to Li Yuan.


    ¡°World within Worlds? Only First Rank lives can enter?¡± Li Yuan listened to the shocking news.


    It sounded as though it involved the civilization struggle between the Seven Stars human civilization and the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    ¡°Is the World within Worlds part of the First Level Star Realm? How big is it?¡± Li Yuan asked the key question.


    In the First Level Star Realm, only First Order life is allowed in and out.


    In the Second Level Star Realm, only Second Rank life is allowed in and out.


    In the Third Level Star Realm, only Third Rank life is allowed in and out.


    Normally, the higher the level of the Star Realm, the more dangerous and vast it is compared to the lower levels¡­ but there are always exceptions, such as the Mingxu Star Realm, which is merely a First Level Star Realm yet wider and more dangerous than most Second Level Star Realms, and it harbors a large number of native Sky-Flying Level Life.


    ¡°No, the World within Worlds is different from the First Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°I understand your concerns,¡± Dean Hai said earnestly, ¡°Only First Order life can enter the World within Worlds, but that gateway allows Second Rank life to come out.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not right,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°According to what you said earlier, this Star Realm has always been under the control of the Blazing Flame Clan¡­¡±


    ¡°With their family¡¯s strength, they could easily station Prime Warriors there long-term, similar to a forward base like the one in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The seniors at the forward base in Mingxu Star Realm, they can¡¯t come out.¡±


    ¡°But the Prime Warriors stationed in the World within Worlds can still come out,¡± Li Yuan analyzed, ¡°There must be those willing, and it¡¯s entirely feasible to rotate them.¡±


    ¡°No matter how powerful the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is, they are only First Order life when they first break through¡­ Even if they are geniuses with Fifth Stage Skills, once they enter and immediately break through, if they face High Rank Origin Martial Artists or Top Grade Origin Martial Artists directly, they will still die,¡± Li Yuan said gravely.


    Having seen Principal Fang Hai, Li Yuan understood that if one¡¯s skills were profound enough, one could indeed fight beyond one¡¯s rank.


    For instance, if a First Order life stepped into the threshold of the Law, it could probably directly invoke the power of the Law and wipe out a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    But that was just hypothetical.


    First Order, Seventh Stage Skills, is that possible? Unrealistic!


    ¡°You are indeed smart to think of the crucial point,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°That¡¯s right! Normally, the Blazing Flame Clan would have easily seized the initiative and occupied this World within Worlds¡­ effortlessly.¡±


    ¡°But the key point is, Second Rank life can¡¯t stay long in the World within Worlds,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    Was it really that special?


    ¡°The specifics have not been fully clarified by the alliance¡¯s upper echelon, but if you agree to go, with your capabilities, you should be able to obtain all the information provided by the Blazing Flame Clan.¡±


    ¡°After all, the Blazing Flame Clan certainly does not want the matter to be public knowledge,¡± said Dean Hai, ¡°They only mentioned one thing¡­ this World within Worlds, the largest diameter exceeds 500 kilometers, it¡¯s an artificial relic, or rather an artificial world.¡±


    ¡°An artificial world?¡± Li Yuan was so astonished he almost jumped up.


    An artificial world, simply understood as human-made space¡­ it¡¯s known that Star Realms are born from collisions of different civilizations in space-time, something beyond the control of the Seven Star Alliance.


    Even the stabilization of the entrances and exits of the Star Realm is beyond the control of the Seven Star Alliance.


    And considering that a few cubic meters of Storage Magical Treasure can be worth hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins¡­ even with limited vision, Li Yuan could deduce a point¡ªthe Seven Star Alliance¡¯s use of space is quite crude.


    The Mysteries of Space have far transcended the current human understanding of technology.


    So then.


    To open, or rather to create a world with a diameter over 500 kilometers? What kind of ability is that? Simply unimaginable.


    ¡°You should realize the special nature of this World within Worlds.¡±


    Dean Hai said, ¡°This vast universe is actually filled with many unknowns. For instance, our civilization¡¯s Seven Great Planets, why did the Seven Star Bridges appear, and why did they later evolve into the initial Star Realm¡­ Even within our Seven Star human civilization, there are numerous unsolved mysteries.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention us.¡±


    ¡°Even those demigods standing at the pinnacle are still filled with confusion and hold a reverence for the universe,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Li Yuan was listening.


    He had already discovered many unsolved mysteries while searching through the archives.


    Human cognition is like a circle, with the unknown lying beyond its edge¡­ the more powerful one becomes, the larger the circle grows, and the greater the unknowns one encounters.


    ¡°Relics of Worlds within Worlds like this one have been discovered by our human civilization quite a number of times,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a world naturally born, all its internal laws would be traceable,¡± said Dean Hai. ¡°But for such Worlds within Worlds, most internal rules are set by their creators¡­ anything could happen.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Like a chicken in a poultry farm, in its understanding, perhaps when the feeder throws in the feed every day¡­ is some kind of natural law of the universe.


    ¡°To open up such an artificial world, demigods are incapable of doing so, they can¡¯t even create a stable small space,¡± said Dean Hai softly. ¡°Either, it is some extremely powerful foreign civilization that has utilized a very special method.¡±


    ¡°Or it is¡­ a god!¡± Dean Hai said slowly.


    Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.


    Gods?


    In fact, since becoming aware of beings surpassing the Sky-Flying level and even demigods, Li Yuan had subconsciously pondered this question¡ªif there are demigods¡­ then are there gods?


    But today was the first time he heard confirmation from Dean Hai.


    ¡°Are there really gods?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dean Hai nodded firmly, his eyes twinkling with light as if recalling something. ¡°We clearly know that within the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ there exist gods.¡±


    ¡°A god, by nature, is just a powerful lifeform, but their essence of life has truly transcended our understanding and imagination¡­ A single god could effortlessly destroy our entire civilization,¡± Dean Hai said solemnly.


    There are gods in the Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Should we still contend with the Immortal Ruins Civilization?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Of course, we must contend,¡± Dean Hai said slowly. ¡°Precisely because we know how vast the universe is, and how cruel the struggles between countless civilizations can be¡­ our entire civilization continuously strives to expand, to wage wars in various star realms, and does everything possible to strengthen itself.¡±


    ¡°If we are not strong enough, our entire civilization will eventually face extinction¡­ In the information we have, there are not a few foreign civilizations that have been annihilated.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention the distant ones, Feixing has almost been wiped out.¡±


    ¡°All the efforts of the Seven Star Alliance are to prevent the calamity of civilization extinction,¡± Dean Hai stated gravely.


    Li Yuan fell silent. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He thought of the Fish Spirit Tide he had once experienced.


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization is indeed powerful, but this time the contention is only within one of its internal realms¡­ Our Seven Star Alliance naturally dares to go for the challenge,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°After all, this is most likely a relic of a god, and in my estimation, the reason the Blazing Flame Family has become so powerful, giving birth to many Sky-Flying beings, is definitely related to this relic world.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, like a Flying Heaven Warrior who casually takes out a treasure that could transform an ordinary martial artist.


    Gods!


    Capable of effortlessly destroying civilizations, the relics of a world they left behind, perhaps a mere trickle from between their fingertips¡­ would be enough to drive demigods crazy.


    Of course, it¡¯s also possible that this relic world isn¡¯t as precious as the Seven Star Alliance imagines.


    Everything was hard to predict.


    ¡°Many ordinary martial artists may be directly conscripted,¡± Dean Hai said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°but for a peerless genius like you, things are naturally different.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance has its commitments.¡±


    ¡°First, any treasure you find in the ruins is yours to keep. If the Alliance finds something useful, we are willing to make an equivalent exchange,¡± Dean Hai explained. ¡°Second, if you ultimately drive away the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ we will reward you according to your contribution.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. The Alliance¡¯s promises were still credible.


    ¡°In fact.¡±


    ¡°In my eyes, your safety is naturally more important. After all, whether you succeed or fail does not have much to do with me,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°I¡¯m telling you all this in detail simply because I believe you could make a significant discovery.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh; Dean Hai was quite confident in him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t find it strange.¡±


    ¡°The Blazing Flame Family might sound powerful, but most of their Sky-Flying Level warriors rely on their bloodline,¡± Dean Hai said with a trace of disdain. ¡°They¡¯ve been exploring for over a hundred years, which might sound like a long time, but what kind of geniuses can they really dispatch? Their entire clan is only ten thousand strong.¡±


    ¡°But what about you?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re a once-in-decades peerless genius from Blue Star,¡± Dean Hai said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°You¡¯re the peerless genius chosen from hundreds of billions.¡±


    ¡°Your venture might yield unexpected gains,¡± Dean Hai added.


    Li Yuan nodded again. It seemed that many people had tried their luck in this world of ruins before.


    Whether one could make a significant discovery also depended on the individual.


    ¡°There are benefits, but there are also risks,¡± Dean Hai said solemnly. ¡°The first is the danger of the ruins world itself; according to the Blazing Flame Family¡­ a Second Rank Life staying there long-term is surely doomed. One cannot exceed a year.¡±


    ¡°One year?¡± Li Yuan murmured internally.


    With that timeframe.


    Even with a plethora of treasures, it seemed at most, there could be Prime Warriors of the 23rd or 24th Stage.


    ¡°Second, there¡¯s the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°This civilization is indeed formidable. In our Seven Star Alliance, you are a top existence among First Rank Lives¡­ but in the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there might be First Rank Lives stronger than you.¡±


    Li Yuan listened but wasn¡¯t surprised.


    With different environments come different sorts of geniuses. Two people of the same caliber ¨C one raised in the countryside and the other in the city ¨C can end up worlds apart¡­ As a terrifying civilization with gods, it¡¯s normal for them to cultivate any kind of genius.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you both the benefits and risks. Whether you go or not is for you to decide,¡± Dean Hai said. ¡°Don¡¯t rush to give me an answer. Just let me know your decision before six o¡¯clock this afternoon.¡±


    ¡°If you have any questions, you can also ask the president directly,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Dean Hai turned to leave.


    ¡°Dean.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly thought of something, ¡°May I ask, in which Second Level Star Realm is this world of ruins located?¡±


    ¡°Feixing, Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±


    ¡­


    As he watched Dean Hai walk away.


    Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts were still unsettled, echoing with the last words left by Dean Hai.


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm!


    Wasn¡¯t it the very star realm Lin Lanyue had ventured to? Was it a coincidence? He then suddenly recalled the High Rank Cultivation Methods Lanyue had been practicing¡­ It also seemed to fall under the category of Fire.


    After pondering for a while.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, and in an instant, he had flown dozens of meters to the villa next to his own.


    ¡­


    ¡°Brother Yuan,¡± Gu Qianghan said, looking bewildered at Li Yuan.


    He had just been napping, dreaming about a climax when Li Yuan had grabbed him out of bed.


    What had happened?


    Could it not have waited just one more minute?


    ¡°Gu Qiang, I want to ask you a question. Answer me honestly,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression was solemn. ¡°Is your sister from the Blazing Flame Family above Feixing?¡±


    ¡°Brother Yuan, why are you asking this? Are you checking my sister¡¯s household registration?¡± Gu Qianghan was even more confused.


    Smack¡ªa slap on Gu Qianghan¡¯s head made him much more alert.


    ¡°It¡¯s important, just tell me,¡± Li Yuan said with a low voice. ¡°There¡¯s trouble with the Blazing Flame Family. Your sister told me she went to a star realm for an adventure, and I must clear this up.¡±


    ¡°Trouble with the Yan Family?¡± Gu Qianghan¡¯s face showed a trace of shock. ¡°How is that possible?¡±


    ¡°Yan Family?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    Wasn¡¯t it the Lin Family? After all, both of Lin Lanyue¡¯s brothers and her father were surnamed Lin.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, my sister is not from the Blazing Flame Family,¡± Gu Qianghan realized something significant must have happened. ¡°But her mother is; her mother is a Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist from the Yan Family.¡±


    ¡°A Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist from the Yan Family?¡± Li Yuan finally understood Lin Lanyue¡¯s background.


    Both her parents were Sky-Flying Level Martial Artists.


    ¡°Give me your brothers¡¯ communication numbers.¡±


    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yuan was back in the underground martial arts room, attempting to call the two V-chat numbers.


    All attempts failed.


    ¡°The system indicates that the target is not on Blue Star,¡± the assistance AI reminded.


    Without hesitation, Li Yuan logged onto the virtual network.


    He arrived at Starfire Space.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, activate ¡®Sky-Flying Level Access¡¯ and open Alliance communications,¡± Li Yuan said, very composed. ¡°I need to contact ¡®Lin Quan¡¯ from Starry Sky Martial Hall. His V-chat number is¡­¡±


    Between the Seven Great Planets, direct communication was actually possible, but ordinary people did not have the privilege.


    But Li Yuan did.


    Time ticked away, and Li Yuan waited patiently. After a full six minutes.


    Connection made!


    ¡°Senior, good day. I¡¯m Lin Quan,¡± a voice that was both strange yet familiar and deep sounded. The system only indicated that the caller had ¡®Starfire Martial Hall Sky-Flying Level Access¡¯ and did not reveal who it was, so he naturally assumed the other party was a Sky-Flying Level Martial Artist.


    ¡°Lin Big Brother,¡± Li Yuan spoke right away. ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±

 Chapter 319: 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)

    Chapter 319: Chapter 233 Gathering! The Sole Exotic Treasure (Added 28, 29)


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Lin Quan was stunned for a second.


    Immediately after, he figured out who it was from the way the other party addressed him.


    Although he had been far away in Feixing and hadn¡¯t followed the global college Martial Path competition¡¯s virtual battles,


    Li Yuan had become extremely popular in the past month, even on the virtual networks of Feixing, gaining a certain fame.


    Naturally, Lin Quan was also aware of this.


    ¡°Hello, Li Yuan,¡± Lin Quan immediately changed the way he addressed him, remaining extremely polite.


    As a 29th level Prime Warrior, and with both parents being Flying Heaven Warriors, his perspective was not like that of an ordinary Prime Warrior.


    Just from Li Yuan¡¯s performance in the virtual battles and the ¡®Flying Heaven Warrior privileges¡¯ displayed on the phone, he had already deduced¡­ Li Yuan, his younger sister¡¯s high school classmate, had suddenly obtained an astonishing influence.


    At least, his status in the Starfire Martial Hall was now extremely high.


    ¡°Big brother Lin,¡± Li Yuan got straight to the point, ¡°My mentor just spoke to me about the ¡®Blazing Flame Family¡¯ matter, inviting me to join the battle in the World within Worlds. Are you aware of the outbreak in the World within Worlds?¡±


    Li Yuan was extremely grateful in his heart towards Lin Quan.


    At that time, had it not been for him daring to bring Heavenly Materials Treasures just in time, his uncle would have certainly died.


    ¡°The Blazing Flame Family?¡±


    Lin Quan hesitated, then said, ¡°I¡¯m not a member of the Blazing Flame Family, but I do know about this matter. Li Yuan, what is it that you want to know?¡±


    ¡°About Lanyue,¡± Li Yuan said directly, ¡°After being eliminated from the Blue Star competition, she told me she was going to Feixing¡¯s Fierce Feather Star Realm to seek her fortune. But I¡¯ve just learned that your mother is a Flying Heaven Warrior from the Blazing Flame Family¡­ I want to confirm if Lanyue has gone to the World within Worlds.¡±


    Lin Quan was shocked inside.


    Firstly, from Li Yuan¡¯s way of referring to Lin Lanyue, he could tell that their relationship was at least that of very close friends.


    Secondly, how had Li Yuan come to know so much information in such a short time?


    Li Yuan waited quietly for the other party¡¯s response.


    After a silence of three seconds, Lin Quan stated in a low voice, ¡°Yes, my little sister is trapped in the World within Worlds, and we¡¯ve lost contact with her. But according to my parents¡­ she is, with a high probability, still alive.¡±


    ¡°One of the demands the Blazing Flame Family has made in revealing the World within Worlds to the alliance is that they must rescue my sister¡­ She is extremely important to the entire Blazing Flame Family,¡± Lin Quan explained in detail.


    Logically, there were some things he shouldn¡¯t say.


    But after a moment of reflection in his mind, he chose to reveal them to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Alright, I understand,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Quan finally couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°are you thinking about going to the World within Worlds? You¡¯re just a freshman, and your Physical Quality might not be high enough, so don¡¯t be impulsive.¡±


    ¡°This World within Worlds, where the Blazing Flame Family has long arranged for several junior Prime Warriors to rotate guarding duties, was still overwhelmed by raiders from the Immortal Ruins Civilization, it¡¯s extremely dangerous,¡± Lin Quan solemnly said.


    Lin Quan knew that Li Yuan was skilled, able to match even himself.


    But under normal circumstances, while skills could be comprehended instantly, Physical Quality needed time to accumulate.


    In Lin Quan¡¯s view, like Lin Lanyue whose Physical Quality as a freshman had already grown to level 15, it was thanks to her bloodline gifts plus a large amount of resources.


    What about Li Yuan? How strong could his Physical Quality be if his skills were high but he lacked High Rank Cultivation Methods to assist him? sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be impulsive,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Lin Quan let out a sigh of relief.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make thorough preparations before entering,¡± Li Yuan stated seriously.


    Lin Quan was taken aback.


    ¡°Alright, big brother Lin, I¡¯m going to start preparing now,¡± Li Yuan said, then promptly hung up the communication.


    Leaving a bewildered Lin Quan behind.


    He wondered if he hadn¡¯t made himself clear just now.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Arts Room of the villa at Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°Lanyue, really went to the World within Worlds? And lost contact?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart tightened; he was far from as composed as he had appeared.


    Until confirmation from Lin Quan, Li Yuan had always hoped she would not be there.


    Contrary to his wishes.


    The only saving grace was that Lin Quan¡¯s words still gave Li Yuan a last glimmer of hope¡ªshe was alive.


    ¡°From what Lin Quan said, does Lanyue hold an extremely high position in the Blazing Flame Family? Seems to be much higher than her two older brothers, and one of the conditions that the Blazing Flame Family has asked of the alliance is to save her? Could it be that she¡¯s able to cultivate the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯?¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°Even so, her importance to the Blazing Flame Family shouldn¡¯t be this high, right?¡±


    According to what Dean Hai had implied, if one could cultivate the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯, the hopes of becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior were greatly increased.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior is indeed very important.


    But is it that important to a high-grade Spiritual Nature family that already has dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors?


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter now.¡±


    ¡°The more the alliance¡¯s upper echelons value her, the greater the hope of rescuing Lanyue,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    The moment he knew Lin Lanyue was trapped in the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had made his decision¡ªto take on the challenge!


    Scenes with Lin Lanyue began to drift through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Their every encounter in the elite building of high school, exchanging martial skills; the invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University; Lin Lanyue rushing back from the Lantis Continent especially when Xu Bo, their teacher, passed away¡­ and her many times of assistance.


    Especially the time when she saved his uncle, an act Li Yuan would forever remember.


    The two of them, at this moment, could only be said to be friends with a very good relationship.


    But in a nebulous way, they both had some fond feelings for each other, only both consciously avoided many things¡­ both were dedicated to Martial Path and didn¡¯t wish to be distracted in their prime cultivation years.


    ¡°However, when she saved my uncle and helped me many times¡­ I have never been able to repay her,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes carried a hint of killing intent: ¡°This time, if I have the ability to do something, I cannot shrink back.¡±


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization? The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom? No matter how many Prime Warriors there are, I¡¯ll kill all those who dare to block my way.¡±


    Li Yuan was always a person of passion.


    Just like before, when senior Liu Jing sacrificed himself to save him, seeing a sliver of hope for victory, Li Yuan risked his life to turn back and save him.

    ¡°`


    Now, it¡¯s the same.


    Think everything through.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan directly sent a message to Dean Hai¡ª¡±Dean, I¡¯m willing to go, and it¡¯s best to depart as soon as possible.¡±


    Only ten seconds later.


    Dean Hai made a call, which Li Yuan immediately answered, and the communication was established.


    ¡°You¡¯ve decided so quickly?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s voice carried a note of surprise.


    ¡°Once it¡¯s clear, there¡¯s no room for hesitation,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, not wishing to explain further.


    ¡°Good,¡± Dean Hai nodded and didn¡¯t ask further, ¡°I will report your name right away. In three hours, I¡¯ll take you on a flyer to the ¡®Third Star Realm¡¯, towards Feixing.¡±


    ¡°This mission is urgent and extremely dangerous¡­ If there¡¯s anything you haven¡¯t taken care of, arrange it quickly.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Additionally,¡±


    ¡°In ten minutes, an ¡®unrestricted loan¡¯ of 20 billion Blue Star Coins will appear in the Starfire Treasure Vault of the Starfire Martial Hall for you,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°You can purchase any item you want without the restriction of your contribution balance.¡±


    ¡°Once you¡¯ve made your selection and submitted, the purchased treasures will be directly arranged for delivery outside the Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Take these 20 billion and buy more life-saving items,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°I will also quickly draft a ¡®suggested list¡¯ for you, which you can follow to make your purchases.¡±


    ¡°A 20 billion loan?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°This is the alliance¡¯s benefit to you. If you fall in the World within Worlds¡­ the loan will be written off,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°But if you come back alive, you¡¯ll need to repay the money.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    20 billion Blue Star Coins, for a Level 19 Martial Artist, would be enough to buy a multitude of life-saving items, even if he were to become a Prime Warrior right away.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for now,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡­


    After ending the communication with Dean Hai, ten minutes later, Li Yuan received a notification.


    He received an ¡®unrestricted Starfire Vault loan¡¯ of 20 billion from the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Li Yuan immediately logged into the virtual network.


    He entered the Starfire Space.


    ¡°Master, you¡¯ve come back so soon?¡± The sprite-like young girl was quite excited.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk too much, open the Starfire Vault.¡± Li Yuan said quietly.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    A giant screen appeared, revealing a vast category of treasures. Li Yuan saw the display of the 20 billion loan balance.


    There was no cash given, these loans had to be used to purchase treasures, and could only be for personal use.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    ¡°Even if I have to repay it later, at least these 20 billion loans won¡¯t consume my contribution limit; it¡¯s a great benefit,¡± Li Yuan thought quietly.


    One must make contributions, offering treasures to the Martial Hall, to receive contribution limits.


    ¡°20 billion, how should I spend it?¡± Li Yuan pondered, his thoughts stirring. Quickly, a new screen appeared next to him.


    Displayed on it was the ¡®suggested shopping list¡¯ just sent by Dean Hai.


    ¡°Two ¡®Origin Purple Life-Extending Pills¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Five Origin Power Battle Suits?¡±


    ¡°Standard Storage Magical Treasure.¡±


    ¡°Five preferred Long Spears.¡±


    ¡°A large quantity of food and water.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan glanced over it, and Dean Hai¡¯s suggested list of treasures boiled down to two points.


    First, buy several pieces of frequently used items, such as Origin Power Battle Suits, weapons, etc., to prevent damage in frequent battles.


    Second, life-saving items.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with Dean Hai¡¯s suggestions,¡± Li Yuan decided, ¡°But preparing a large amount of food and water doesn¡¯t have to wait until reaching Feixing; I¡¯ll get it ready at the school.¡±


    Although Prime Warriors can absorb Origin Power, they haven¡¯t reached the point of complete abstention from food.


    Especially water, which is very important.


    Li Yuan already had a Storage Magical Treasure, six cubic meters.


    Even if he allocated half of the space for storing food and water, it was already substantial.


    Three minutes later, Li Yuan had selected all the treasures he needed¡ªspending a total of 16.4 billion.


    Just two Origin Purple Life-Extending Pills alone cost 10 billion Blue Star Coins.


    For the Origin Power Battle Suits, and the like, Li Yuan chose second-rank top-quality, each valued at 2 billion Blue Star Coins, totaling 10 billion for five pieces.


    Weapons? One second-rank top-quality Long Spear cost 1 billion Blue Star Coins, and Li Yuan bought ten in one go.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t worried about squandering.


    ¡°If they don¡¯t get used in the future, they can still be sold back to the Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    That is the advantage of having a Storage Treasure.


    Without a Storage Magical Treasure, he wouldn¡¯t be able to carry so many weapons, Battle Garments, and other auxiliary treasures.


    Place the order!


    All purchased items will be rushed in from Feixing, and Li Yuan can collect them at the entrance of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡­


    After acquiring the treasures, standing in the Starfire Space,


    Li Yuan pondered for a while.


    He quickly drafted a will and took out 5 billion Blue Star Coins from his name as an inheritance for his uncle and aunt.


    As for the other 3 billion-plus? Li Yuan decided to donate to the Seven Star Alliance in the event of his death.


    ¡°If luck doesn¡¯t favor me and I really die in the World within Worlds, these funds will be more than enough for my uncle and aunt to live comfortably for the rest of their lives,¡± thought Li Yuan, quite at peace with the idea.


    ¡°The country and the Martial Hall spent so much money and resources to cultivate me¡­ If I die, consider it some kind of feedback and contribution.¡±

    He returned to the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Continue practicing the spear,¡± Li Yuan took out the Black Chen Spear and resumed his training.


    The Black Chen Spear, just a second-rate lower-quality weapon, was getting a bit weak for Li Yuan, who was on the verge of breaking through.


    Mainly, its weight was no longer sufficient.


    However, just practicing the spear was not a big issue; with it, Li Yuan tried to calm his mind.


    The closer to life-and-death battles, the more one must face tests of life and death,


    The more one must stay calm.


    Anger? Impatience? They could all cost your life!

    In Feixing, within the city belonging to the Blazing Flame Family,


    At the top floor of that towering building,


    ¡°Dad.¡± Lin Quan looked at the muscular figure in silver armor projected on the screen¡ªa man in his early thirties with a decidedly heroic air.

    He is Lin Lanyue¡¯s father, also a councilor of the Six Stars in the Seven Star Alliance, and one of the high-ranking members of the Starry Sky Martial Hall¡ªLin Yue.


    ¡°You just messaged me, saying that Li Yuan came asking about your younger sister?¡± the towering figure in silver armor spoke with a deep voice.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Quan nodded, clearly anxious, ¡°From what Li Yuan said, he will soon set off for the World within Worlds. With his strength¡­ going there¡­¡±


    ¡°I know,¡± the silver-armored figure interrupted his eldest son: ¡°Li Yuan is stronger than you imagine. Did it not occur to you that if his strength were inadequate, would his teacher have discussed this matter with him?¡±


    Lin Quan was stunned, quickly coming to a realization.


    Indeed! If Li Yuan were not strong enough, where else could he have received such news?


    ¡°Dad, I was wrong,¡± Lin Quan said with a wry smile.


    ¡°Concern leads to chaos, which is quite normal,¡± the silver-armored figure sighed softly: ¡°Looking at it now, whether your sister can come back alive¡­ we may truly have to rely on Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Quan gasped in surprise.


    ¡°After all, the World within Worlds ultimately relies on these First Order Limit martial artists to struggle,¡± the towering figure in silver armor regained his composure: ¡°Since technological weapons can¡¯t be used in the World within Worlds¡­ then, a top genius becomes very important.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, looking at the entire Human Alliance, there are a few martial artists at Level 19 whose strength could be compared to Li Yuan¡¯s, but not everyone may be willing to go¡­ Geniuses possessing Fifth Stage Skill at First Order are few in our entire civilization. They are almost as important as your sister; the Alliance won¡¯t force these geniuses,¡± he continued.


    Lin Quan listened attentively and couldn¡¯t help himself: ¡°Dad, could it be that my little sister really¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask anymore; this is not something you should concern yourself with,¡± said the towering figure in silver armor: ¡°Right now, your worrying is useless.¡±


    ¡°Your mother and I will keep an eye on this matter and make every effort to rescue your sister.¡±


    ¡°What you should do is calm down and concentrate on your cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Strive to achieve Fifth Stage Perfection as soon as possible,¡± the silver-armored towering figure said, and then he disconnected the communication.


    ¡­


    Time went by.


    After practicing with his spear for over two hours, Li Yuan took a shower and packed some clean clothes into his Storage Treasure.


    Then, he stored the vast quantities of compressed food and water delivered by the logistics department into his Storage Treasure.


    Another half an hour passed. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come out, it¡¯s time to go,¡± Dean Hai¡¯s voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Whoosh!


    With a single motion, Li Yuan stepped out of his villa.


    Dean Hai was waiting outside on the lawn.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t tell the other students, did you?¡± Dean Hai asked.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Dean Hai nodded: ¡°This time, the school is sending a total of 16 people to Feixing with you, all of them at Level 19 martial artists¡­ but they are unaware of your existence. They are all waiting inside the flyer now.¡±


    ¡°Remember, I will do my best to keep you separated from them, but no matter whom you encounter, unless there¡¯s a clear introduction, try not to reveal your identity,¡± Dean Hai cautioned.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Dean Hai gripped Li Yuan¡¯s shoulder, and an invisible force enveloped them, instantly blurring the light around them, making them invisible to the naked eye of others.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With Li Yuan in tow, Dean Hai surged towards the sky, quickly heading for the Kunlun Martial University¡¯s airport.


    A short while later.


    A large flyer took off from the airport.


    ¡­


    The Seven Star Alliance possesses seven great Life Planets.


    Although all within the same stellar system, even the shortest distance between any two of the Seven Great Planets is tens of millions of kilometers¡­the farthest is nearly a billion kilometers.


    Impossibly distant.


    Interstellar travel between these planets, not to mention the difficulty of the journey itself, would take years, even longer, if one were to voyage between the two most distant planets¡­ Communication among the Seven Great Planets is maintained through the Star Realm.


    Inside the flyer.


    In a separate cabin, only Li Yuan and Dean Hai.


    ¡°Of the Seven Great Planets, Blue Star, Firefly Star, Lan Tie Star, Cang Lei Star, Sea Heaven Star, Black Moon Star, Feixing¡­ in terms of population and resources, Feixing has the most, with a population exceeding 50 billion,¡± Dean Hai spoke softly: ¡°Next is Sea Heaven Star, with a population over 30 billion.¡±


    ¡°Then comes our Blue Star, with a population of over 10 billion.¡±


    ¡°The least populous is Lan Tie Star, with a population of about 4 billion,¡± Dean Hai continued: ¡°The other three each have a population of about 10 billion.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, aware of the basic information about the Seven Great Planets; he knew it already.


    With Flying Heaven level authority, one could learn the details.


    The combined population of the Seven Great Planets of the Seven Star Alliance exceeds 1.2 trillion.


    Over the past century, the Seven Star Alliance has also gradually developed ¡®proliferation areas¡¯ in many Star Realms, so the total population of the entire civilization is close to two trillion.


    However, humans from the Star Realm proliferation areas generally do not come to the Seven Great Planets.


    ¡°Among the Seven Great Planets, Feixing is the core and the most important planet in our entire civilization,¡± Dean Hai continued softly: ¡°Each of our Six Great Planets has a Star Realm connected to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°These six Star Realms are also known as the Primitive Star Realms, the original six Star Realms of our civilization¡­ All of them evolved from Star Bridges,¡± he explained.


    ¡°These six Star Realms are all Third Level Star Realms, essentially corridors,¡± Dean Hai said: ¡°None of them is large in size, all are completely controlled by our Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    Third Level Star Realm?


    Li Yuan instantly understood why Feixing suffered several catastrophes over the years, yet the other Six Great Planets remained relatively safe¡­ Fourth Rank demigods couldn¡¯t travel through these Star Realms to other planets.


    ¡°So the demigods of the major planets can¡¯t enter these Star Realms and can only remain on their own planets?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Of course not,¡± Dean Hai chuckled: ¡°Demigods, if they want to travel to other planets, are aware of the precise spacetime coordinates of each planet¡­ They can cross the starry sky with their fleshly bodies.¡±


    ¡°The numerous rays, storms, and so on in the universe are major threats to Flying Heaven Warriors, so they can only enter space for a short time,¡± he said.

    ¡°`


    ¡°But these things pose no threat to the demigods,¡± they can even directly absorb the cosmic energy that drifts freely through the universe¡­


    ¡°Although the speed of the demigods is not bad compared to the vast and boundless starry sky, it¡¯s still too slow.¡±


    Li Yuan was dumbfounded. Physical travel across billions of kilometers of remote star space?


    This is what being a demigod entails!


    ¡°Exactly because traversing the starry sky is tough, people like Senior Dongfang Ji wouldn¡¯t easily leave Feixing,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°The other Six Great Planets also have demigods guarding them to prevent any mishaps.¡±


    ¡°For example, Bai Shan Semi-Divine has always been stationed on Blue Star.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Time passed.


    Through his exchanges with Dean Hai, along with what he saw in the data library, Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of the Seven Star Alliance and the Seven Great Planets had reached a new level.


    ¡­


    Several hours later.


    The spacecraft landed outside the entrance to the ¡°Third Star Realm¡± on the Lantis Continent.


    There was an enormous airport here, bustling with a significant flow of people.


    A group disembarked from the spacecraft.


    ¡°What a huge entrance,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyelids twitched.


    Gazing into the distance, he saw the massive entrance that seemed to tear open the sky, tens of kilometers wide and over five kilometers tall¡­ On the other side of the sky curtain was another world, with mountains, rivers, and cities, too.


    But the world on the other end was filled with starlight, contrasting starkly with the daylight on this side.


    It was a very eerie sight.


    Even having seen it several times on the virtual network, Li Yuan had to admit that the enormous and stable portal to the Star Realm was indeed awe-inspiring.


    ¡­


    Travelling on a high-speed train directly through the Third Star Realm, the land was vast, with continual mountain ranges.


    Passing through numerous towns.


    Aside from the starlight above, Li Yuan felt no difference from Blue Star.


    ¡°The entire Third Star Realm has a maximum diameter of over 4000 kilometers and is home to nearly two hundred million people,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°That¡¯s quite significant,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Half a day later, they passed through the Third Star Realm to Feixing.


    Then they boarded another aircraft.


    Dean Hai, along with Li Yuan and the other sixteen students from Kunlun Martial University, finally arrived at ¡°Fierce Feather City¡± on Feixing.


    A city named after the Fierce Feather Star Realm, bustling with a population of over ten million.


    It was extremely prosperous.


    All along the way, Li Yuan had noticed that apart from being vast, Feixing didn¡¯t seem much different from Blue Star in other respects.


    ¡°The War Fortress,¡± Li Yuan sat in the two-seater cabin of the aircraft.


    Through the window, Li Yuan saw the immense War Fortress at the edge of the sky, towering over a thousand meters.


    The fortress covered an area as vast as Kunlun Martial University, if not larger.


    ¡°Did you remember what I said just now?¡± Dean Hai spoke, ¡°The other six have already arrived; you make the seventh. But there¡¯s only one Fourth Rank artifact, the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯, up for grabs this time. To secure it, you¡¯ll have to rely on your own strength and not hold back.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    On the way here.


    Dean Hai had been in contact with the Alliance¡¯s higher-ups, so Li Yuan was already aware of the general situation.


    With the current emergency draft,


    The Seven Star Alliance had already recruited over 5000 Martial Artists with Fifth Stage skills and above from the Seven Great Planets; more than 200 of them could break through to Prime Warrior at any moment.


    There were seven talents with Fifth Stage Skills like Li Yuan! S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In addition to ¡°credit limits¡± given to each person to purchase artifacts to enhance their survival capabilities,


    The Seven Star Alliance had also prepared some ¡°generous gifts¡± to quickly increase the strength of Prime Warriors.


    For instance¡ªthe Fourth Rank artifact, the ¡°Myriad Life Extension Fruit.¡±


    With just one, a recently advanced Prime Warrior could rapidly reach a Physical Quality of around level 22.


    However, such Fourth Rank artifacts were immensely valuable and rare even within the Seven Star Alliance.


    There was only one available this time.


    So, who would get it?


    Naturally, it would go to the strongest in real combat.


    Only then could the army quickly produce a tremendously powerful force upon entering the World within Worlds and achieve a decisive impact.


    ¡°We¡¯re almost there,¡± Dean Hai said.


    Swoosh!


    Soon, the aircraft slowly landed on the runway next to the War Fortress.


    Clang~


    The doors of the aircraft opened, and everyone began to exit one by one, Li Yuan following suit. He immediately saw, not far away on another recently landed aircraft, a group of First Rank Martial Artists disembarking.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered as he recognized a familiar face: ¡°Alicia?¡±

    Chapter 323: Chapter 234: Alicia¡¯s Trump Card! Competing for the Treasure! (Two-in-One for Monthly Tickets)


    During the virtual battle, aside from Dantai Feng, the person who attracted Li Yuan¡¯s attention the most was Alicia.


    Because the Martial Arts University she attended was only slightly better than Jiangbei Martial University and far from the likes of Kunlun Martial University and Kyoto Martial University, which are well-known local institutions.


    Moreover, Li Yuan had checked, her college entrance exam scores weren¡¯t very good, and she hadn¡¯t even made it into the virtual battle knockout round (top thousand) by her sophomore year, but then she had undergone an astonishing transformation within just one year.


    Within that year, her skills had leaped from the high ranks of Fourth Level all the way to Fifth Stage, and she even stood at the pinnacle of the Blue Star competition.


    She even entered the top five in the end.


    Deep down, Li Yuan really admired her, just as he always admired Tian Dazhuang.


    Those who emerge from hardships and sharpen their will and determination often progress faster the further they go.


    A person¡¯s talent is never fixed and unchangeable from birth.


    ¡°Oh? That little girl has come too?¡± Dean Hai, standing beside Li Yuan, had also noticed the blond-haired, blue-eyed Alicia not far away.


    Dean Hai had watched the virtual battles and was deeply impressed by Alicia.


    ¡°Her skills are so advanced, yet she hasn¡¯t become a Prime Warrior by her junior year?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.


    ¡°Dean, like me, she hasn¡¯t awakened her Martial Spirit,¡± Li Yuan explained in a low voice.


    ¡°Heh, you seem to know a lot about her, got your eye on the young lady?¡± Dean Hai chuckled, ¡°And you, you don¡¯t even have a matching high-rank Cultivation Method, so how did you almost become a Prime Warrior as a freshman?¡±


    Li Yuan could only give a wry smile, unable to answer.


    The higher the skill, the more one could unearth one¡¯s physical potential, and the faster the improvement in physical quality¡­ but ultimately, it requires time to accumulate.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, people like Dantai Feng had extremely favorable external conditions, yet their physical quality had only reached level 15.


    Naturally, they wouldn¡¯t attempt to break into World within Worlds.


    While high-rank Fifth Stage Martial Artists who had been cultivating for several years, like Jin Huguo and Yin Man, were mostly already Prime Warriors and didn¡¯t even get the chance to enter the Middle Realm.


    Therefore, looking across the Seven Star Alliance, there is a large batch of talented Martial Path practitioners at the university level (freshman to fifth year) who have reached Fifth Stage Skill, totaling over a thousand¡­ But to enter World in Worlds, one must be First Order life or below, so the number of people who meet the criteria naturally plummeted.


    Furthermore, not everyone is willing to go to battle. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the end, throughout the entire Seven Star Alliance, only seven Fifth Stage prodigies came.


    Among those affiliated with Blue Star, Li Yuan estimated that only he and Alicia were present.


    In fact, based on the conversations Li Yuan had with Dean Hai along their way, their civilization has quite a few opportunities similar to World within Worlds, including many relic sites¡­ but whether one can enter often depends on luck.


    ¡°Teacher, where are we going now?¡± Li Yuan asked softly.


    ¡°Other students from the school are mostly regular conscripts; they will join the main force and stand by,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°The seven of you, who are the strongest, will have a separate meeting with you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    This entry into the World within Worlds was divided into three levels of conscription by the Seven Star Alliance.


    The first level was for those like him and Alicia, who were the main fighting force.


    The second level consisted of more than 200 elite fighters who had reached the First Order Limit and were on the verge of becoming Prime Warriors.


    The third level included more than 5,000 level 19 Martial Artists.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Dean Hai, having led Li Yuan through the identity check at the entrance, quickly entered the inner wall of the War Fortress.


    As for the other 17 students from Kunlun Martial University, naturally, someone from the military would come to meet them.


    A few hundred meters away at the airport runway.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    Alicia, who had also caught sight of Li Yuan, showed a flicker of surprise in her eyes, ¡°He¡¯s only a freshman, right? Rumor has it that, like me, he also hasn¡¯t matched a high-rank Cultivation Method. Could it be that his Physical Quality is already close to that of a Prime Warrior? How did he do that?¡±


    Just like Li Yuan was rather familiar with Alicia.


    Li Yuan, as the most dazzling presence in the Blue Star competition, was highly noticed and Alicia had privately looked up information about him.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Alicia, don¡¯t underestimate this young man, his spiritual power should have already reached Flying Heaven Level,¡± a childlike voice echoed in her mind.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level?¡± Alicia was even more startled internally, fully aware of what that signified.


    ¡°Little Star, why don¡¯t you come out?¡± Alicia responded with curiosity.


    ¡°Dare not,¡± the childlike voice said, ¡°A Flying Heaven Level being will be able to produce Divine Sense¡­ Ordinary Divine Sense can¡¯t detect my presence, but that Li Yuan, the handsome man beside him, his spiritual power is probably at level 35. If I come out, he¡¯ll be able to perceive my presence.¡±


    ¡°Level 35 spiritual power?¡± Alicia¡¯s heart grew even more shocked, ¡°A Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    She did not recognize Dean Hai, but she could sense his extraordinariness.


    ¡°Could it be that a Flying Heaven Warrior personally escorted Li Yuan here?¡± Alicia thought.


    ¡°Alicia, let¡¯s go,¡± a rough voice sounded, and immediately a burly figure walked down from the aircraft, ¡°I will take you to the base. After that, you will follow the arrangements.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± Alicia nodded. The person escorting her was a top-grade Origin Martial Artist teacher.


    Her and Li Yuan¡¯s standings within the alliance differed.


    Whoosh!


    Alicia followed the burly figure toward the nearby massive war base.


    ¡°Alicia, don¡¯t worry too much,¡± the childlike voice resounded in her mind again, ¡°Your civilization is just a small Fourth Level Civilization. Li Yuan is merely stronger than you at the current stage¡­ With me by your side, you will definitely surpass him gradually.¡±


    ¡°Follow my plan, and at the very least, you climbing step by step to the peak of your civilization is absolutely no problem,¡± the childlike voice asserted.


    ¡°Okay, got it,¡± Alicia responded perfunctorily in her mind.

    ¡°Don¡¯t believe me?¡± That childish voice couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°This World within Worlds must have been left by a Divine, as long as we¡­ we will succeed.¡±


    Alicia listened to the babbling childish voice, no longer responding, and stepped into the War Fortress.


    She knew that Little Star was very powerful, but she was also used to its pie-in-the-sky ideas.


    She had become somewhat immune to them.


    No matter how great Little Star¡¯s vision and knowledge were, now only a wisp of a remnant soul remained¡­ without even a physical body, in the end, it was still up to her to fight.


    ¡­


    War Fortress, the twenty-seventh floor.


    The entire fortress was all-metal, incredibly sturdy, with not even a Prime Warrior able to leave any trace, and inside there were more than one hundred levels.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I will escort you this far,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°Your identity information and so on have already been recorded in the entire base¡­ just wait for the order.¡±


    ¡°When you come out of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, I will be the first to come and pick you up,¡± Dean Hai said.


    ¡°Okay, thank you, Dean,¡± Li Yuan nodded, clear in his mind as well. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This time, the Dean was worried about a leak of his whereabouts and the possibility of an assassination en route, hence the special escort.


    Otherwise, dispatching a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist would have been sufficient.


    ¡°You are my student, I may not have taught you much, but I won¡¯t be negligent when it¡¯s my turn to do something,¡± Dean Hai patted Li Yuan, speaking solemnly, ¡°Go.¡±


    ¡°I have only one request for you,¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Come back alive.¡±


    ¡­


    Watching Dean Hai leave, Li Yuan turned and entered his own rest room.


    The room was not much different from an ordinary university dormitory, except that there were no windows, completely enclosed.


    After verifying his identity, he gained access to the room.


    He closed the door.


    ¡°Simulate, Starry Sky scene,¡± Li Yuan called out loudly.


    Whoosh! Whether it was the floor or the ceiling, the four walls all changed, making Li Yuan feel as if he were in the vast starry sky.


    ¡°Much more comfortable to look at,¡± Li Yuan walked straight to the center of the rest room and sat down cross-legged.


    He began his basic cultivation for the day.


    As usual, he first practiced the Visualization Method, then practiced ¡°All Heavens¡¯ Stars¡±¡­ It was inconvenient to cultivate on the road, and he could not afford to delay even one day.


    ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, more than four hours passed.


    Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, ¡°Basic Fist Strength, has finally reached 70,000 kilograms.¡±


    A standard Physical Quality of 19.9 is Fist Strength of 70,000 kilograms, and a speed of 115 meters per second.


    At 20.0, it is Fist Strength of 80,000 kilograms and a speed of 120 meters per second.


    ¡°If I were like those predecessors of the past, without High Rank Cultivation Methods, then I would have to continue to improve my Physical Quality until my Basic Fist Strength reached 80,000 kilograms, and my body¡¯s Sea of Source Energy would open up on its own, naturally able to accumulate Origin Power,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°then I would truly be an Origin Warrior.¡±


    Life Level reaching 20, the Sea of Source Energy being created, the body would gradually absorb external Origin Power, that was an ironclad rule.


    However, without awakening Star Meridians and relying purely on the body¡¯s instinct to absorb Origin Power, the efficiency would be frighteningly low.


    Thus, Law Creation is a must!


    What is the essence of a Cultivation Technique? It¡¯s to awaken Life Star Veins.


    ¡°However, I have now awakened three Star Meridians, no different from a 19.9 Level Martial Artist normally practicing a High Rank Cultivation Method,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now, as long as I am willing, a single thought can operate the three Star Meridians, form the Zhou Tian, create the Sea of Source Energy¡­ a large amount of Origin Power will accumulate, and my Physical Quality will transform to 80,000 kilograms in an extremely short time.¡±


    There isn¡¯t an essential difference between Unranked Life and First Rank Life.


    But the biggest difference between First Rank Life and Second Rank Life is the ¡®Sea of Source Energy.¡¯


    Once created, it¡¯s an essential leap in Life Level.


    The Sea of Source Energy can store a large amount of Origin Power.


    Like Li Yuan, though it seems he has awakened several Star Meridians and can use a small amount of Origin Power, the reason he¡¯s still First Rank Life¡­ is that his Sea of Source Energy hasn¡¯t been created yet.


    In simple terms.


    In all aspects such as technique, spiritual power, and physical quality, Li Yuan could become an Origin Warrior at any time.


    ¡°Patience is key.¡±


    ¡°When I enter the World within Worlds, I will be able to become an Origin Warrior,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Another half hour went by.


    Ding~ The doorbell suddenly rang.


    Li Yuan, who was silently practicing his Spear Technique, immediately gestured, and the Origin Power Longspear was stored inside a Storage Treasure.


    He opened the door.


    ¡°Martial Artist Li Yuan.¡±


    Standing at the door were three Martial Artist officers, the leading officer said with a smile, ¡°The items you purchased from the Starfire Treasure Vault have arrived, please check them.¡±


    Then, he lifted a metallic box.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t hesitate, and entered 12-digit ¡®receipt code¡¯ directly on the metallic box.


    Clang~


    The metal box opened, revealing a nail-sized silver sliver within the many layers of protection.


    The three Martial Artist officers nearby showed a flicker of curiosity in their eyes.


    A silver sliver? What is this?


    ¡°A Storage Treasure?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened subtly, his powerful spiritual power emanated outward without a sound, swiftly imprinting a Spiritual Imprint.


    Ownership established!


    Immediately, Li Yuan ¡®saw¡¯ clearly within the three-cubic-meter Storage Treasure, all the items he had purchased were in place.


    The Origin Power Longspear, Origin Power Battle Suit, Source Purple Life-Extending Pills, and so on.


    He confirmed everything was correct.


    ¡°Okay, thank you,¡± Li Yuan finally spoke, took the silver sliver, returned the metal box to the officers.


    ¡°Fine, Martial Artist Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°The vanguard team has already departed, in thirty minutes, please gather in meeting room 47902,¡± the leading officer said solemnly, ¡°There, the ownership of treasures will be directly decided, don¡¯t be late.¡±


    ¡°Alright, thanks for the heads-up.¡±


    ¡­


    Half an hour later, having integrated the newly acquired Storage Treasure into his body, Li Yuan reached the designated meeting room.


    This meeting room was nearly a thousand square meters in size.


    Calling it a meeting room, it was actually a huge Martial Arts Room.

    By the time he arrived, there were already six figures in the conference room, each with a distinct appearance, but all very young.


    Almost instinctively, Li Yuan had already deployed Divine Palace Inquiry; the weakest was level 19.7, the strongest was 19.9.


    However, there was no reminder of ¡®Earning Spiritual Nature upon Killing¡¯.


    ¡°Another one has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s this? Seems to be Li Yuan from Blue Star, isn¡¯t he just a freshman?¡±


    ¡°To be here, it means his Physical Quality has reached at least level 19, truly a freak.¡±


    ¡°No wonder my teacher said he¡¯s the strongest prodigy to emerge in the Alliance in recent years.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard he¡¯s very powerful.¡± Seeing Li Yuan walking into the conference room, the other six had already looked over, with several of them showing curiosity in their eyes.


    Clearly, most of the people present knew of Li Yuan.


    These individuals were the top talents of their respective planets, but in terms of fame, they were far less known than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A blonde, blue-eyed woman stood up, walked over, and took the initiative to greet him.


    ¡°Alicia, I didn¡¯t expect our first real-life meeting to be here,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    The two hadn¡¯t interacted much in virtual combat, but they had sparred once.


    And since they were both from Blue Star, subconsciously, they naturally felt closer to one another.


    ¡°Li Yuan, hello, I¡¯ve heard my teacher mention you.¡± A towering young man over two meters tall approached. His eyes were bright as he stared at Li Yuan, ¡°First in Blue Star¡¯s virtual combat contest, the first freshman to win the championship.¡±


    ¡°Hello.¡± Li Yuan smiled as he looked at the other.


    He had no idea who the other was.


    ¡°Li Yuan, his name is Si Feng, he¡¯s from Feixing Starry Sky University.¡± Alicia introduced from the side.


    Obviously, the six of them had just gotten to know one another.


    ¡°However, virtual combat is different from actual combat; your skill level may be very high,¡± Si Feng grinned at Li Yuan, ¡°but the Myriad Life Extension Fruit will definitely be mine.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Then let¡¯s try sparring in a while.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡± Si Feng smiled, ¡°If you can defeat me, when we enter World within Worlds, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡±


    Li Yuan laughed; he found Si Feng¡¯s straightforward personality quite appealing.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t mind Si Feng,¡± Alicia smiled from the side, ¡°haven¡¯t you noticed, it¡¯s not just Si Feng, the way the others look at you is also different?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; he had noticed the moment he walked through the door.


    ¡°Since you won the virtual combat championship, speaking of fame alone, it has spread across the Seven Great Planets, and many say you are the number one prodigy of the Alliance¡¯s current era,¡± Alicia said with a smile, ¡°There¡¯s only one Myriad Life Extension Fruit, aside from me, everyone else probably wants to compete for it, naturally seeing you as their biggest competition.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    It sounded like he had become the Great Demon King?


    ¡­ As time passed, Li Yuan interacted with the rest one by one.


    They all got to know each other as well.


    Beyond Alicia, among the other five, Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Kross were all from Feixing.


    Another woman named Bai Ya came from Tianhai Star.


    And a quiet young man with red skin was from Heilong Star; his name was Bai Xing.


    Just by the distribution of the planets they belonged to,


    it was clear that Feixing was indeed the most powerful of the Seven Stars of the Seven Star Alliance, brimming with geniuses, far surpassing the other Six Great Planets.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Now that everyone¡¯s here, there¡¯s no need for me to go urging one by one.¡± A low voice came from the doorway, as if there was an invisible magic power that tightened everyone¡¯s heart, followed by a red-clothed young man with short hair who walked into the conference room, appearing to be around thirty years old.


    He immediately caught the attention of Li Yuan and the others.


    ¡°[Target organism, life level 29.9]¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    He was a Prime Warrior.


    It wasn¡¯t just Li Yuan, Alicia, Si Feng, and everyone with Fifth Stage Skill also sensed the fearsomeness of the red-clothed youth, who appeared unshakeable in their perception.


    ¡°My name is Wu Manong, you can call me by my name,¡± the red-clothed youth scanned over the seven of them.


    ¡°Wu Manong?¡±


    ¡°Is it him?¡± Among the seven, talents from Feixing like Si Feng showed a hint of shock on their faces.


    Meanwhile, Alicia and the others looked clueless.


    ¡°So it¡¯s him.¡± Li Yuan instantly knew who the other party was, with relevant information about him surfacing in his mind.


    Wu Manong, a talent from Feixing!


    Like Yu Jinghe, he was an extraordinary talent who had comprehended Sixth Stage Skill and could have achieved Flying Heaven Level but, similar to Yu Jinghe, had always held back from breaking through.


    ¡°Staying at level 29 for so long, he must be awakening more Star Meridians,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Yu Jinghe was an exceptionally top-grade talent rarely seen in Xia Country, but in the context of the entire Seven Star Alliance, there were still a few top-grade Origin Martial Artists who could match him.


    Wu Manong was one of them.


    Wu Manong spoke in an icy tone, ¡°I¡¯m in charge of your operation this time, and will be escorting you into the World within Worlds. All of you are Martial Path talents highly regarded by the Alliance, some even with Flying Heaven Level access, so, I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you; I hope we can cooperate enjoyably.¡±


    Including Li Yuan, everyone sensed that Wu Manong might be difficult to handle.


    ¡°The first matter.¡±


    ¡°The ownership of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit.¡± Wu Manong flipped his palm, and a jade tray appeared in his hand; on the tray sat a crystal-clear fruit, with divine light seemingly sweeping across its surface.


    An extraordinary aura spread out, causing the pupils of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others to light up noticeably.


    A fourth-rank treasure, the Myriad Life Extension Fruit!


    ¡°Unlike the enhancement of spiritual power, the Transformation of Physical Quality involves many aspects and is quite complicated. Therefore, treasures that can cause rapid and significant Transformation of Physical Quality without leaving any aftermath are very rare,¡± Wu Manong¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°and your Physical Quality is too weak, some of the more powerful effects from the treasures could completely burst you.¡±

    Chapter 326: Chapter 234: Alicia¡¯s Trump Card! Competing for the Treasure! (Two-in-One for Monthly Tickets)_4


    Li Yuan and Alicia were all listening.


    ¡°The Myriad Life Extension Fruit is the most suitable item for you all, after careful consideration by the alliance¡¯s higher-ups,¡±


    ¡°The enhancement of Physical Quality is actually just a secondary aspect; its core function is for injury healing,¡± Wu Manong said calmly, ¡°Even for a Flying Heaven Warrior, even if they are near death, consumption of the fruit can save their life.¡±


    Everyone was astonished. Something that could save a Flying Heaven Warrior¡¯s life?


    To give to them, First Rank Warriors?


    ¡°After you take it, not only will your Physical Quality improve significantly, but your body¡¯s cell vitality will also far surpass that of other Prime Warriors, and your injuries will heal quicker,¡± Wu Manong said, ¡°In short¡­ it¡¯s extremely precious, exceeding your imaginations.¡±


    ¡°It is specifically for this mission that the alliance has taken it out.¡±


    ¡°Whoever has the strongest ability will get it,¡± Wu Manong said calmly, ¡°Who would like to be the overlord and accept challenges from the others?¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The other six people all turned to look at Li Yuan.


    Clearly, in their subconscious, the others all believed that Li Yuan was the strongest.


    Li Yuan, feeling somewhat helpless, had no choice but to stand up: ¡°Elder Wu, I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve said it, call me Wu Manong, not Elder. I am not that old,¡± Wu Manong said coldly.


    Li Yuan paused for a moment, then replied, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Good, Li Yuan will be our overlord,¡± Wu Manong¡¯s gaze swept across the other six individuals, ¡°Who wishes to challenge him?¡±


    ¡°Me!¡±


    A voice rang out immediately. It wasn¡¯t Si Feng, but another Feixing talent, ¡®Kross.¡¯


    ¡°Good.¡± Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Full armor combat, take the blunted weapons from the rack over there, remember, you are just sparring, no lethal blows allowed,¡± Wu Manong deliberately glanced at Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and Kross stood in the Martial Arts Room,


    facing each other from tens of meters apart.


    Meanwhile, Wu Manong, Alicia, and the others all stood far away, at the edge of the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Kross, with his silver hair and handsome features full of exotic charm, held a long stick in his hand.


    Boom!


    He instantly moved.


    ¡°They¡¯ve engaged,¡± Si Feng, Xiong Ze, Bai Ya, and the rest stared intently.


    Only Alicia seemed calm, well aware of the terror that was Li Yuan.


    Tens of meters apart, for combatants near the Prime Warrior¡¯s level, it was far too close, akin to a distance of one or two meters between ordinary people.


    Whoosh!


    Kross instantly closed the gap with Li Yuan, his metal long stick whirling and coming down fiercely on Li Yuan¡¯s head.


    But.


    Li Yuan had remained standing in place quietly from start to finish.


    ¡°Not fighting back yet?¡± Kross had a flicker of doubt in his heart. Could it be that Li Yuan planned to take his strike with his body?


    The next instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying Spiritual Shock swept through, causing Kross¡¯s mind to reel¡­ instantly losing control of his body.


    Thump~


    With a single step, Li Yuan swung his Long Spear, the shaft whipping out and striking Kross directly on his body, sending him flying backwards and crashing heavily to the ground.


    A full second passed.


    ¡°I?¡± Kross slowly managed to sit up, his mind only now fully clearing, his eyes filled with shock: ¡°What just happened?¡±


    ¡°You were lenient,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently.


    ¡­Si Feng, Xiong Ze, Bai Xing, and the others nearby were silent as sparrows.


    In their eyes, the clash between Li Yuan and Kross had been like lightning, but Kross had been sent flying with a single strike, without any chance to fight back.


    Had Li Yuan not just sent the other flying,


    but instead had run the spear tip across Kross¡¯s neck, Kross might already be a corpse.


    ¡°Li Yuan has won,¡± Wu Manong¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, then he looked over at Si Feng and the rest: ¡°Si Feng, do you still want to continue challenging Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Not at all?¡± Si Feng shook his head swiftly, shaking like a tambourine.


    The others also shook their heads in unison.


    Who were they kidding? In terms of strength, Kross was at the First Order Limit and possessed Fifth Stage Skills, yet he had been defeated in one move. They would undoubtedly lose if they stepped up.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Life Extension Fruit goes to Li Yuan,¡± Wu Manong stated calmly, ¡°In ten minutes we go downstairs.¡±


    ¡°Get ready to enter the Star Realm.¡±

    Chapter 327: Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)


    ¡°`


    Across the vast land, three red moons hung in the sky, their fiery, hazy light enveloping the earth.


    This place was the ¡®Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯, a Second Level Star Realm.


    The largest diameter of the Star Realm exceeds thirty thousand kilometers, containing the ¡®Reproduction Zone¡¯ of a Seven Star Civilization.


    The core area of the Reproduction Zone spans over two thousand kilometers, with a warning zone extending out to three thousand kilometers.


    At this moment, deep underground in the warning zone, nearly a kilometer down, a high-speed train was speeding forward.


    Within one of the train¡¯s carriages.


    Were Wu Manong, Li Yuan, Alicia and seven other First Rank Martial Path geniuses.


    ¡°I¡¯ll keep it short,¡±


    ¡°Over 200 of the first battalion of 500 Level 19 Martial Artists sent into the World within Worlds have died,¡± Wu Manong said indifferently.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So many are dead?¡±


    ¡°More than forty percent,¡± Li Yuan and Alicia¡¯s expressions changed.


    They were aware that the first group of conscripted Martial Artists had already gone in, but the death rate was truly frightening.


    ¡°The second batch of 1500 people is currently being arranged to enter,¡± Wu Manong continued, ¡°The goal of these first two thousand people is actually just one: to attract firepower for you and buy time for a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°After they enter in sequence, through the various predetermined channels, they will storm into all regions of the World within Worlds as squads¡­ Based on our current intelligence, the forces of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom are strong, but it seems they have not yet realized the importance of the World within Worlds. They have limited numbers, less than two hundred people, of which there are only a few dozen Prime Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Thousands of Level 19 Martial Artists will go into battle; they won¡¯t be able to finish them off in a short time.¡±


    ¡°Once the 2000 of them enter, it will be your turn,¡± Wu Manong said slowly.


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and Si Feng felt their hearts tighten, already sensing the brutality of what lay ahead.


    The previous two thousand were just to draw fire for them?


    ¡°Your top priority after entering is to break through and become Prime Warriors,¡± Wu Manong stated, before waving his hand.


    Whoosh! Seven silver boxes flew simultaneously and landed in front of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others.


    ¡°Within these silver boxes are ¡®Myriad Star Fruits¡¯, a top-tier Three Rank treasure. Each is worth more than ten billion Blue Star Coins, specially prepared by the Alliance for you,¡± Wu Manong said indifferently, ¡°The one with the weakest physical quality among you is at 19.7 Level. After taking it, you will quickly reach the 19.9 Level limit.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, Alicia, both of you are already at 19.9 Level. After taking it, your Physical Quality should also reach the threshold of 20 Level, enough to open the Sea of Origin Power,¡± Wu Manong said.


    Instantly, all seven geniuses understood the Alliance¡¯s arrangement and plan.


    The Myriad Life Extension Fruit? There was only one.


    But to let these seven talents, already on the verge of breaking through to become Prime Warriors at the Fifth Stage,


    Breach the Prime Warrior¡¯s threshold with one hundred percent certainty in a very short time, the Seven Star Alliance could still make it happen.


    The group promptly stored their Myriad Star Fruits away.


    ¡°This Myriad Star Fruit isn¡¯t of much use to me,¡± Li Yuan silently mused, also sweeping it away with a wave of his hand.


    ¡­


    The train was still on its way.


    ¡°Regarding the information about the World within Worlds, I won¡¯t go into detail: you can check that on your own. I just want to emphasize one thing: technology weapons are not allowed in the World within Worlds, a taboo discovered by the Blazing Flame Family,¡±


    ¡°Anyone who uses technological weapons will unquestionably be doomed,¡± Wu Manong spoke gravely, ¡°The only thing you can use is the communicator. It¡¯s specially customized to let you contact us directly.¡±


    ¡°However, if you enter the ¡®Inner Sanctum of the Divine Palace¡¯, contact will also be lost.¡±


    Li Yuan, Alicia and the others nodded slightly, clearing up some doubts in their minds.


    Prime Warriors are indeed formidable, but logically, they should be killable with some powerful technological weapons. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°A total of four tasks, with the importance of each task diminishing in order,¡± Wu Manong continued, ¡°First, cooperate with other Prime Warriors and First Rank Martial Artists to search for and eliminate all personnel from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°Second, explore the secrets of ¡®Divine Relics¡¯ within the World within Worlds, which the Blazing Flame Family has only partially explored.¡±


    ¡°Third, rescue the Martial Path genius ¡®Lin Lanyue¡¯ of the Blazing Flame Family. Her whereabouts are currently unclear, suspected to be inside the ¡®Divine Palace¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Fourth, inspect the large Divine Crystal mines, look for and excavate possible Earth Origin Crystals and Fire Divine Crystals.¡±


    ¡°Do you all understand?¡± Wu Manong asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°Understood,¡± all seven geniuses said in unison, then immediately looked down to read the detailed information about the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ that had just been transferred to their smart wristband devices.


    Only Li Yuan was most shocked in his heart.


    Large Divine Crystal mines? Possible Earth Origin Crystals?


    ¡°Opportunity,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate for me to keep asking the headmaster and Bai Shan Semi-Divine for Earth Origin Crystals,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I never expected that there would be Earth Origin Crystals inside the World within Worlds.¡±


    This was a situation that Li Yuan had not been aware of before.


    ¡­


    In another carriage of the train.


    Another Prime Warrior was lecturing dozens of First Rank Martial Artists.


    ¡°You have all achieved the First Order Limit and possess Fourth Level skill: you¡¯re ready to step into the realm of Prime Warrior at any moment,¡± the towering Prime Warrior spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Your first task upon entry is to break through immediately.¡±


    ¡°After that, work with other First Rank Martial Artists to locate and kill personnel from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°But remember,¡±


    ¡°If you encounter a Prime Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, do not engage rashly, immediately send a message to the seven powerful individuals numbered 0001-0007, let them handle it,¡± the towering Prime Warrior said in a deep tone, ¡°Any questions?¡±


    ¡°How powerful exactly are these seven?¡± a Martial Artist asked.


    ¡°Yes,¡±


    ¡°By all accounts, they too will step into Prime Warriors after entering, how strong can they be?¡± doubts were raised by several people in the carriage.


    These First Order Limit Martial Artists with Fourth Level skill, mostly not from the military but from various forces and of greatly differing ages, naturally wouldn¡¯t easily be persuaded.

    Chapter 328: Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°Once the seven powerful warriors have made their breakthroughs, any one of the warriors numbered 0002 to 0007 could kill a hundred of you new Prime Warriors,¡± the burly Prime Warrior said in a deep voice.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°One against a hundred?¡± The martial artists at the First Order Limit were all shocked.


    ¡°What about the strongest one? Number 0001?¡± someone couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    The others were also curious.


    If the six behind are so strong, just how powerful must the one with the highest rank be?


    ¡°Number 0001?¡± The burly Prime Warrior pondered for a moment, ¡°His strongest power cannot be revealed to you.¡±


    ¡°But according to the superiors,¡±


    ¡°Even if all of you become Prime Warriors, his slaughtering you would not be a matter of how many you are, but rather when his spiritual power and strength become exhausted¡­¡±


    Inside the carriage, there was dead silence.


    ¡­


    After traveling for several hours deep beneath the Fierce Feather Star Realm,


    Li Yuan and the others finally arrived at a large war fortress on the edge of the alert zone.


    Following Wu Manong, the group of seven stepped off the train, with Li Yuan walking first.


    No one objected.


    Martial Artists always let their strength do the talking.


    After a brief confrontation before entering the Star Realm, the strength Li Yuan displayed had already made the others like Si Feng and Xiong Ze realize that even if the six of them joined forces, they might not be a match for Li Yuan.


    Passing through layers of corridors and checkpoints,


    Finally,


    Li Yuan and his six companions followed Wu Manong into a massive underground structure surrounded by open-air corridors.


    Below them appeared an immense tunnel more than 100 meters in diameter, like a path leading to an endless abyss. Hundreds of meters below the tunnel, one could see a hazy glow shrouding the view, making it impossible to glimpse farther down.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan and Alicia were both shocked as they looked down.


    This was a scene they had never encountered before.


    ¡°This is the only passage we control that leads into the World within Worlds,¡± Wu Manong said in a deep voice, ¡°Only First Rank Life can enter; Second Rank Life will surely die.¡±


    ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    Just as Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Bai Ya had a moment of hesitation,


    Whoosh!


    Alicia had already leaped from high above, quickly falling until she disappeared into the layers of radiance below.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, don¡¯t delay,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice and leaped down as well.


    Seeing this, Si Feng, Xiong Ze, Bai Xing, and the others hesitated no more and followed, jumping into the tunnel.


    Wu Manong looked down at the huge tunnel below, deep in thought.


    After a while,


    he suddenly spoke: ¡°Prepare to send the first batch of 50 reserve Prime Warriors to the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± A Prime Warrior officer next to him responded deeply: ¡°I will arrange for their entry immediately.¡±


    Just one minute later.


    Whoosh!


    A flash of golden light suddenly zipped across the top of the massive ring-shaped corridor, followed by the golden light coalescing into a figure in a golden robe. With handsome features, he walked step by step to Wu Manong¡¯s side.


    If Li Yuan were here, he would surely recognize the identity of this figure in a golden robe¡ªYu Jinghe!!


    ¡°They¡¯ve all gone down?¡± Yu Jinghe asked in a low voice.


    ¡°They¡¯ve all entered,¡± Wu Manong replied blandly, ¡°This operation looks like it¡¯s going to rely on your little fellow townsman, who possesses Flying Heaven Level spiritual power while only at First Order. It¡¯s quite curious how he cultivated it.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Yu Jinghe nodded slightly, ¡°Bai Shan had mentioned him to me before. He indeed has tremendous potential.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    Wu Manong shifted the subject, ¡°When will Tavares and Abbott arrive?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve already entered the Fierce Feather Star Realm and should arrive within six hours,¡± Yu Jinghe spoke softly, ¡°Why, are you worried that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom will actually make it to our base here?¡±


    ¡°Among the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, those who can contend with Li Yuan as they first enter Second Rank are few and far between,¡± Wu Manong said indifferently, ¡°If they encounter disadvantage in the World within Worlds,


    ¡°Perhaps they will try to attack at the source, directly assaulting our war fortress.¡±


    This war fortress was established by the Blazing Flame Family.


    The purpose was to guard the passage to and from the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯, even at the cost of building a ¡®subterranean passage¡¯ that connects to the core of the breeding area.


    However, only Second Level Life is allowed to enter and exit the Second Level Star Realm.


    Hence, for this operation, the Seven Star Alliance mobilized not only Li Yuan, Alicia and the other six top talents among First Rank Life,


    but also four Top Grade Origin Martial Artists who have reached the Sixth Stage of their skills, to collectively guard this war fortress.


    ¡°Why worry?¡±


    Yu Jinghe appeared quite indifferent, ¡°At worst, we¡¯ll break through to the Flying Heaven Realm right here in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Besides, doesn¡¯t the Blazing Flame Family still have two Flying Heaven Martial Artists? Comparatively speaking, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom would find it hard to take us down with six Flying HeavenWarriors on our side,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile.


    ¡°Those two useless ones?¡± Wu Manong shook his head, ¡°The two of them together would be defeated by us individually; they are unreliable.¡±


    Yu Jinghe fell silent.


    The Blazing Flame Family had two Flying Heaven Martial Artists who chose to stay forever in the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡­ regrettably, their strength among Flying Heaven Martial Artists belonged to the most ordinary of all.


    Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been left here.


    ¡°We¡¯ll take it step by step,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°First let¡¯s see if Li Yuan and the others can retake the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡­


    Whoosh~


    The whole person fell from high above, crashing into that massive, radiant tunnel.


    As soon as he touched that hazy radiance, Li Yuan felt an invisible fluctuation enveloping him, followed by a slight tremor in his brain.


    Rustling~


    Invisible forces surged, pressing down so hard that Li Yuan couldn¡¯t open his eyes, feeling like a small fish caught in a terrifying undercurrent, left to drift with the flow.


    After what seemed like dozens of seconds.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan felt emptiness beneath his feet, the surroundings became relaxed, and he immediately adjusted his bodily power.


    He landed steadily on the ground.

    Chapter 329: Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)_3


    ¡°This is?¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t feel any discomfort.


    With a quick glance, he discovered that he was in a vast corridor, unsure if it was inside a building or a cave.


    The corridor was dozens of meters high and just as wide, with metallic walls on all sides. The passageway twisted and turned, extending into the distance, faintly illuminated¡­


    Behind Li Yuan was a passage over ten meters in diameter, shrouded in a misty glow.


    It was the entrance he had come through.


    ¡°Which passage is this? Why is there no one else?¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly, ¡°Am I the only one here?¡±


    According to the intelligence provided by the Blazing Flame Family, the entrance from the Star Realm to the World within Worlds was unique.


    However, there were hundreds of exits within the World within Worlds, scattered throughout, and one would randomly descend at any of these exits.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power Battle Suit covered his entire body.


    At the same time, with a flip of his hand, a black long spear about two and a half meters long appeared in his hand.


    Inside him, a silver sliver as thin as a cicada¡¯s wing flowed to his mouth.


    Thus prepared,


    Should he encounter mortal danger, he would be able to take out the ¡®Origin Purple Life-Extending Pill¡¯ and pop it into his mouth instantly.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had just turned two corners along the corridor when suddenly his pupils shrank, for several corpses had appeared not far ahead in the passageway¡­ Judging by their clothes and decorations, they were all First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Alliance.


    By the looks of the wounds, all had clearly been sliced across the neck by a blade.


    Killed with a single strike!


    ¡°Are there experts from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom stationed in this passage?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s vigilance heightened.


    Why send thousands of First Rank Martial Artists in first? To draw fire,


    Creating opportunities for those who follow.


    Otherwise, if these top talents burst in before they had a chance to break through to become Prime Warriors and ran headfirst into the experts from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it would be troublesome.


    Boom~ The air vibrated slightly.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure exploded forward, darting out dozens of meters, while his long spear flipped in his hand to block.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± The sound of lightning-fast weapon clashes rang out as Li Yuan easily blocked two deadly strikes.


    Only then, Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Did Li Yuan¡¯s eyes fully see.


    The spot where he had just stood, from within that shadowy darkness, two slender figures slowly emerged, both emaciated and wearing Origin Power Battle Suits.


    ¡°Life Level shows 19.9, and you could block the fatal strikes of us brothers just with your battle instincts,¡± one emaciated figure spoke in a raspy voice, uttering in the common language of the Seven Stars, ¡°It seems, you must be one of the top talents dispatched by the Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    ¡°Too bad, your luck isn¡¯t good, running into us as soon as you got in,¡± the other emaciated figure said in a deep voice.


    The common language of the Seven Stars is the language of Xia Country.


    ¡°Battle instincts?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold.


    As soon as the opponent got close, his powerful spiritual power was released, alerting him that something was amiss.


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level 20.2, slaying it will yield Spiritual Nourishment]¡±


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level 20.1, slaying it will yield Spiritual Nourishment].¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved, and he employed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    Strength and identity confirmed.


    ¡°Alien Race?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold: ¡°It must be killed!¡±


    Boom! Before his words fell, Li Yuan, holding the spear, had already exploded into action, attacking fiercely.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Swish! Swish! Two black figures moved in the blink of an eye, their bodies seemingly sheathed in a layer of flame-like light.


    Origin Power burst forth!


    These two Prime Warriors, wielding swords, darted toward Li Yuan like phantoms, one on the left and one on the right.


    The two sides closed the distance like lightning.


    In that instant of imminent collision,


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze hardened as he directly used the spiritual secret technique ¡°Soul Shock.¡±


    Rumbling~ The overwhelming Spiritual Shock surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing into the two Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Not good! Be careful!¡±


    The terrifying Spiritual Shock caused their consciousness to shake violently, completely disorienting them.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡°Pffch!¡±


    Two streams of spear light, flickering with starry radiance, slashed through the Vast Sky, thrusting straight at the two black figures.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The tremendous Penetrative Power instantly permeated through the Battle Garments into every corner of their bodies.


    The Penetrative Power was too terrifying.


    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s a Spiritual Shock,¡± one of the black figures regained consciousness, not even having the time to call for help.


    In an instant of mid-air intersection,


    Pffch~ their two bodies were torn apart by the Black Chen Spear, like lightning ripping through them.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, two Level 20 Prime Warriors, dead!


    Wham~ Large chunks of limbs fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere.


    Clang~ Clang~


    Their weapons also dropped to the ground.


    ¡°[You have slain a Second Rank creature, obtained Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level is now 38.1%]¡±


    ¡°[Your¡­ Spiritual Awakening Level is now 38.3%]¡± Two Divine Palace notifications flashed past.


    Obviously, slaying Second Rank lives yielded much more Spiritual Nourishment than First Rank lives.


    If it were First Rank lives, even levels 18 or 19, Li Yuan would mostly need to kill dozens to improve his Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.1%.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan also landed on the ground.


    The spear tip dangled to the floor, and the blood on the spear, flowing along the groove, fell to the ground, leaving it as sleek as new.


    An Origin Power Weapon of Second Rank high grade, would basically remain undamaged in clashes at this level.


    This long spear was actually not the same one Li Yuan had used previously, but a newly purchased one.


    However, Li Yuan was accustomed to calling it the ¡®Black Chen Spear.¡¯


    ¡°Two Level 20 Prime Warriors dare to boast about sending me to death?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense enveloped the bodies of the two, swiftly collecting their damaged Origin Power Battle Suits and weapons.

 Chapter 330: 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)_4

    Chapter 330: Chapter 235 Kill! The True Strength of Li Yuan! (Seeking Monthly Passes)_4


    These things, all together, Li Yuan estimated were worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins.


    At the same time, Li Yuan found technological items like communication devices on them and crushed them all.


    ¡°Killing them instantly, they probably didn¡¯t send a message back,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Still, I can¡¯t be careless.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and quickly left the corridor.


    From the beginning to the end.


    Li Yuan never took these two Prime Warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, who had just entered the Second Rank, seriously.


    In terms of physical quality, Li Yuan had reached level 19.9. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Under the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, the power and speed that Li Yuan could burst forth with was close to that of a Second Rank Prime Warrior of level 22.


    Coupled with his terrifying techniques, especially after using the ¡°True Intent¡± moves, Li Yuan was confident that he could swiftly kill a Prime Warrior of level 23 in a head-on fight.


    Therefore, with just a single spear thrust, Li Yuan tore through the defense of the Origin Power Battle Suit and killed the two Prime Warriors.


    The defense of a Second Rank Origin Power Battle Suit was strong, but it also depended on who was using it.


    Its defensive capabilities were, to a large extent, dependent on the ¡°strength of the user¡¯s Origin Power.¡±


    If it were a level 23 or 24 Prime Warrior relying on their powerful Origin Power for defense, even if they stood still, Li Yuan would find it hard to kill them with a single thrust.


    The most critical part was Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Secret Technique.


    It could be considered his ultimate killing move.


    Without the protection of an Origin Power Battle Suit, even a level 24 expert could potentially be killed by Li Yuan in one move.


    The current Li Yuan, after undergoing transformation after transformation, had indeed become very powerful.


    He could be called the strongest First Rank lifeform in the entire Seven Star Alliance.


    Even among the many Foreign Civilizations, there were very few First Rank lifeforms that could compare to him¡­ This was also why the upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance placed great importance on him and had high hopes for him.


    Because the current Li Yuan was indeed very strong.


    ¡°No rush,¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll leave the passageway, find a hidden spot to break through to become a Prime Warrior, then consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡± Li Yuan had a clear plan in his mind, ¡°By then, I will be a level 22 Prime Warrior¡­ my basic strength will be twice as strong as it is now.¡±


    ¡°And the infusing of Origin Power into my body is approaching as well.¡±


    Li Yuan believed that with the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit and the Infusion of Origin Power, in an extremely short time, his physical quality would transform again and again, and he had a good chance of soaring to level 23 or even higher¡­ By then, would the Second Rank lifeforms of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom be able to stop him?


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intentions, Lanyue should have already entered the ¡®Relic Divine Palace¡¯.¡±


    ¡°She should be temporarily safe.¡±


    ¡°Rushing to find her now is useless, I must first raise my strength to its peak to be confident of dealing with any danger,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself as he quickly disappeared at the winding corridor¡¯s end.


    ¡­


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, within the War Fortress, at the entrance of the passageway.


    ¡°They all successfully got inside,¡±


    Wu Manong suddenly whispered, ¡°The other six had good luck and didn¡¯t encounter any enemies, only Li Yuan ran into two Prime Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Palace.¡±


    As per the orders, Li Yuan and Alicia, if they encountered any situation, had to report immediately through the Communication Device.


    Only then,


    Could the commanders outside give orders and make adjustments.


    ¡°Two Prime Warriors?¡± Yu Jinghe by his side was slightly startled, ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Li Yuan is alright, isn¡¯t he?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has killed them both.¡±


    ¡­


    World within Worlds, high above there was a radiant red sun, whose light enveloped the land.


    About 200 kilometers away from Li Yuan, there stood a vast palace complex with rolling hills that exuded an ancient aura.


    The entire outer wall of the palace complex was red, and the deeper you looked into it, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.


    Making it impossible for people to see into the deeper areas of the complex.


    At this moment, five figures with strong presences were gathering outside the palace complex, not daring to rashly enter.


    The leader was a tall, burly figure nearly three meters tall with fiery red hair, exuding an overbearing presence, staring at the distant palace complex with slightly furrowed brows, ¡°We have sent in twelve First Rank Martial Artists and six Prime Warriors in succession, yet they have all disappeared without a trace, and not a single message has been sent back.¡±


    ¡°What kind of danger is in there?¡± The tall, thin figure in a purple robe also furrowed his brows, ¡°Mintian Hou sent us here, suspecting that this is a divine relic, but could not provide additional information.¡±


    ¡°How do we verify it?¡±


    ¡°Are we supposed to charge in regardless of life and death?¡± The tall, thin figure in the purple robe shook his head in irritation.


    The other three figures looked at each other silently.


    Although all five of them were elites appointed by Mintian Hou, there was a difference in their strengths and status.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu,¡± another figure in black, short and portly, spoke in a low and deep voice, ¡°This is bad, number 10 and number 12 are dead.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Both Prime Warriors are dead?¡± The other four looked over in surprise.


    For this operation, numbers 1-35, all were Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Who killed them? Did any information get sent back?¡± The leading red-haired, domineering man asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°None,¡±


    ¡°According to the location, they died at what we marked as corridor number 38,¡± the black-clothed, portly figure said somberly, ¡°Most likely, they were instantly killed by a powerful being from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Suddenly, everyone went quiet.


    Killed instantly at the entrance of the corridor?


    Those who just came through the corridor would definitely be First Rank lifeforms from the Seven Star Civilization, and would absolutely not have had the time to break through to the Second Rank.


    Yet two Prime Warriors, skilled in stealth, had been instantly killed by a First Rank lifeform? Without even having the chance to send a distress signal back?


    ¡°Trouble has come.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization sent in so many ordinary First Rank beings earlier just to divert our attention, now the ones arriving must be their top geniuses,¡± the domineering red-haired man stood up, his eyes flashing with light.

 Chapter 331: 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)

    Chapter 331: Chapter 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization may be weak,¡±


    ¡°but after all, it¡¯s a civilization that has given birth to many demigods and is extremely powerful among the Fourth Level Civilizations,¡± the brawny red-haired man said in a deep voice, ¡°At least, it won¡¯t be weaker than our Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°Lei Wu, will you go or shall I?¡± the brawny red-haired man looked at the slender figure in the purple robe.


    This time, the mission handed down by Mintian Hou from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was led by the two of them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡±


    The slender figure in the purple robe stood up, his voice deep as he said, ¡°My presence here makes little difference, you continue the research on the relics here, I¡¯ll go hunt the geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°These days, a large number of First Rank Martial Artists have stormed in, judging by the time, it¡¯s about to get serious,¡± said the slender figure in the purple robe.


    ¡°Mai Ka, Dong Ming, you both come with me,¡± ordered the slender figure ¡®Lei Wu¡¯.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the two men who had been silent stood up.


    ¡°By the way, Tie Mu¡¯er,¡± the slender figure Lei Wu turned to the brawny red-haired man, ¡°request reinforcements from Mintian Hou as soon as possible. With less than three hundred of us, we cannot defend so many entry channels.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re probably not going to figure out this relic anytime soon either,¡±


    ¡°If Mintian Hou wants to completely occupy this place, he must send at least a few thousand First Rank Martial Artists and a handful of Prime Warriors,¡± Lei Wu said in a deep voice.


    ¡°Hmm, I will pass on the message to Mintian Hou,¡± the brawny red-haired man nodded seriously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The slender figure in the purple robe, quickly leading two Prime Warriors, followed their map recorded over the past few days.


    They hurried toward Portal 38.


    The entire World within Worlds was vast and desolate, with nothing but continuous deserts and hardly any vegetation.


    Everything was shrouded in a blazing red sun that covered the earth, and there was no concept of night, as if it was a rough world that had just been created.


    As such, there was no native life, and the view stretched to the horizon.


    With the speed of a Prime Warrior of Initial Rank, they could easily reach 120 meters per second.


    200 kilometers? It would take at most half an hour to reach there.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three Prime Warriors advanced like lightning.


    ¡°Dong Ming, Mai Ka, keep in touch with everyone,¡± the slender figure instructed while on the move, ¡°Use the ¡®Life Signature Detector¡¯ to constantly check who has died.¡±


    ¡°Also, order everyone to abandon their posts at the entry channels and converge on the three of us, then concentrate on searching and slaughtering,¡± said the slender figure.


    ¡°Understood.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    These talented powerhouses of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had realized that, after being attacked suddenly nearly two days ago, the Seven Star Civilization had begun a full-scale counterattack¡­ In terms of individual strength, Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka were all very confident.


    But during this half-day, the First Rank powerhouses from the Seven Star Civilization had been flooding in through the channels like a tide, which still put a lot of pressure on the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team.


    Even though the team from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was generally more powerful and had killed over 600 First Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization, their own casualties were steadily increasing.


    Therefore, Lei Wu realized that it was necessary to consolidate their forces and strike hard again.


    ¡°These First Rank Martial Artists are not a concern,¡±


    ¡°What we need to do is to find those top geniuses of the Seven Star Alliance,¡± Lei Wu¡¯s goal was very clear, ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is no match for us; the number of their geniuses suitable for battle¡­ won¡¯t be too many, and each time we kill one, it will hurt them for a long time.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was forced to start consolidating its forces, and began a concentrated sweep.


    The armies of the Seven Star Civilization, with their absolute numerical superiority, gradually began to take the initiative¡­ A vast amount of information was being gathered.


    In the Martial Arts Cultivation that focuses on personal great strength, the vast number of First Rank Martial Artists has never been about frontal combat¡­ but about gathering intelligence.


    Li Yuan and Alicia, no matter how strong they are, could not penetrate every area of the World within Worlds.


    But 5000 First Rank Martial Artists could!


    Thousands of First Rank Martial Artists stretched out like a huge net, conducting a grid-style search, and quickly located the personnel of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, then reported the intelligence to a hundred Prime Warriors.


    And even to the Seven Great Talents.


    ¡­ After killing two Prime Warriors, Li Yuan charged out of the underground cavern that stretched for about two kilometers and quickly distanced himself.


    The Origin Power Battle Suit on his body had changed to a ¡®soil yellow¡¯ color, blending almost seamlessly with the surrounding land.


    He fled for a full twenty kilometers.


    ¡°This will do,¡± Li Yuan found an inconspicuous crack in the earth amid a stretch of desert.


    He scanned the area for several kilometers to be sure there were no problems.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan dove into the two-meter-wide crack and quickly excavated a small cave on the side of the fissure¡¯s wall.


    Just large enough to conceal Li Yuan.


    He sat down cross-legged.


    His spiritual power was fully released, his Divine Sense perceiving everything within a hundred meters while faintly sensing violent fluctuations within a kilometer.


    ¡°Unless there¡¯s a Flying Heaven Level soul,¡±


    ¡°or someone cultivates a very special secret technique, it¡¯s impossible for them to approach within a hundred meters of me without making a sound,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Furthermore, the place I¡¯ve chosen is more than 20 kilometers from where I came out, so the chances of being discovered should be very small.¡±


    Having thought everything through,


    cultivation is a serious matter, especially progressing from First Rank to Second Rank which is a leap in the essence of life, so Li Yuan had to be cautious.


    Better to break through slowly and make sure everything is foolproof.


    ¡°Just like Teacher Xu Bo said, when killing an enemy, you must tear apart every limb and the head,¡± Li Yuan silently recalled his teacher¡¯s teachings, ¡°It¡¯s never wrong to estimate the enemy generously.¡±


    Li Yuan closed his eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to break through to Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, his spiritual power already sensing the three Star Meridians in his body.


    With a single thought,


    Hum~ all three Star Meridians began to operate.

 Chapter 332: 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Extra 30, 31)_2

    Chapter 332: Chapter 236 Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Extra 30, 31)_2


    One Star Meridian was immensely powerful, its countless points of light linked into a dazzling line.


    The other two Star Meridians had awakened not long ago, with sparse light points, but they were indispensable.


    ¡°Star Meridians, circulate.¡±


    ¡°Establish the Sea of Source Energy.¡± Li Yuan fully activated the three Star Meridians, and following the experiences of many predecessors in the Martial Hall data archives and numerous Cultivation Techniques, the Meridians began frantically absorbing the Source Energy from the outside.


    Boom¨C


    The Source Energy that remained in Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridians began to accumulate, becoming more abundant¡­ This Source Energy stayed within the Star Meridians, circulating throughout his body with the movement of the Star Meridians.


    If it had been earlier, as the Source Energy circulated, Li Yuan¡¯s flesh and blood would have devoured it voraciously like a gluttonous feast, but now they were satiated and simply couldn¡¯t absorb any more in the short term.


    Star Meridians couldn¡¯t store large amounts of Source Energy; they could only maintain a small amount.


    ¡°Pressure.¡±


    ¡°Every part of the body feels the compression from the circulation of the three Star Meridians.¡± Li Yuan sensed the discomfort in his body.


    It was as if a person needs to eat every day; not eating makes one hungry, but overeating after being full can lead to bloating¡­ even rupturing the stomach!


    Li Yuan was in a similar situation now.


    ¡°Continue!¡± Li Yuan continued to run his Star Meridians, frantically absorbing the Source Energy from the outside.


    Over an hour later.


    Boom¨C The Source Energy in Li Yuan¡¯s three Star Meridians surged like roaring rivers, churning and flowing, with massive amounts of Source Energy still compressing and accumulating.


    It was as if a dam, after repeated water storage reaching its highest level, was now at the risk of bursting.


    Li Yuan was in that situation now, his body filled with such potent Source Energy that the slightest misstep could cause his body to collapse completely.


    ¡°So much Source Energy?¡±


    Li Yuan was rather shocked, ¡°Hmm, over ninety percent of the Source Energy was accumulated by the Perfect Star Vein.¡±


    After reviewing vast amounts of data,


    Li Yuan knew the approximate limit of Source Energy a normal First Rank Martial Artist could absorb during a breakthrough¡­ far less than his own.


    ¡°Perfect Star Vein!¡±


    ¡°Other First Order Limit Martial Artists, when they break through to become Prime Warriors, awakening the Second Layer and Third Layer Star Veins in their first attempt, that¡¯s impressive. But where can they compare to my Perfect Star Vein?¡± Li Yuan mused.


    One could tell just by looking at the display on the Divine Palace panel. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The cultivation efficiency of a single Perfect Star Vein was worth more than 20 newly awakened First Layer Star Veins¡­ The breakthrough scene was naturally terrifying.


    ¡°With such an abundance of Source Energy, maybe I¡¯ll greatly increase in strength as soon as I break through,¡± thought Li Yuan.


    Finally.


    The accumulated Source Energy in the three Star Meridians had reached a kind of limit¡­ Li Yuan felt it keenly, feeling as though he was bearing the weight of a mountain.


    Moving his body slightly might risk it falling apart.


    At this time, should a powerful warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom launch an assault¡­ it would be extremely dangerous.


    Fortunately, the outside world was very tranquil.


    ¡°Breakthrough.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan activated the tumultuous Source Energy in the three Star Meridians, directing it to a specific point in the dantian in his lower abdomen.


    This point was essential in the circulation of the three Star Meridians.


    Boom!


    Instantly! As if heaven and earth were collapsing, like the creation of the world, the originally chaotic dantian exploded into existence¡­ This special space rapidly expanded, and at the very core, a special microspace between illusion and reality formed.


    ¡°Within one point in the body, it harbors vast Source Energy like an ocean.¡± Li Yuan realized, ¡°This is the Sea of Source Energy.¡±


    ¡°From this moment on,¡±


    ¡°Source Energy will accumulate endlessly, rooted within¡­ and life can look forward to leaping towards a higher level.¡±


    The inflow of Source Energy signifies the Prime Warrior!


    In a sense, before reaching the Second Rank, all are just ordinary life.


    Only by establishing the Sea of Source Energy is one taking the first step on the ¡®path beyond the ordinary.¡¯


    ¡°Continue!¡± Moved by a thought, Li Yuan carried on with his cultivation.


    Boom¨C


    The Source Energy stored in the three Star Meridians began to pour crazily into the Sea of Source Energy¡­ causing the sea to expand continuously, and the Source Energy to accumulate wildly.


    Hiss¨C The Source Energy in the Sea of Source Energy surged, increasing voluminously, slowly turning into a massive vortex.


    Massive amounts of Source Energy were drawn into the vortex, being compressed and refined continuously.


    Gradually, the Source Energy born at the center of the vortex was purer and stronger than before.


    ¡°This is the true Second Rank Source Energy,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Meanwhile,


    Swish¨C The newly transformed Second Rank Source Energy followed the special connection between the Star Meridians and the Sea of Source Energy, flowing back into the Star Meridians and, with the movement of the Star Meridians, spreading to every corner of the body.


    ¡°Nourishing the body.¡±


    The moment Second Rank Source Energy flooded into every part of the body, it sparked a drastic transformation in Li Yuan.


    His bones, bone marrow, muscles, blood, fascia, skin, hair, and so on, all underwent astonishing Transformation under this nurturing by the potent Source Energy.


    A change in the very essence of life.


    Why is it that a normal First Order Limit life form has a standard Fist Strength of 70,000 kilograms while a Level 20.0 has 80,000 kilograms?


    It is because, upon breakthrough, the Second Rank Source Energy causes the body to undergo a tremendous Transformation.


    This is a leap in Life Level.


    ¡°Level 20, the first step beyond the ordinary,¡± Li Yuan reveled in this process, feeling quite delighted.


    In his youth, Li Yuan saw Prime Warriors as incredibly powerful.


    Back then, a Hall Master of a Regional Martial Hall, the captain of a Martial Artist squad, and many others, were all Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Now, I have also reached this step.¡±


    ¡°Just like at the major Martial Arts Universities, once you become a Prime Warrior, you can choose to graduate.¡± Li Yuan felt a surge of pride, ¡°In a sense, Prime Warriors are the ¡®backbone¡¯ within the entire civilization, truly qualified to venture into various dangerous realms and to be the vanguard battling against many warriors from Foreign Civilizations.¡±

 Chapter 333: 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)_3

    Chapter 333: Chapter 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)_3


    ¡°`


    After a while, Li Yuan finally settled his emotions and continued to circulate his Origin Power, nourishing his body.


    This kind of leap in the essence of life.


    The effect was so strong, it was comparable to some Heavenly Materials Treasures, and it was completely harmless.


    Even more, as his physical quality soared unstoppably.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel his soul being nourished, becoming stronger continuously.


    Just over ten minutes.


    Li Yuan could perceive that his bodily strength had increased significantly, already reaching the threshold of Level 20.


    ¡°Hmm? The Divine Palace panel?¡± Li Yuan noticed a special change in the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 20.1 (22.2) Rank (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 83,000 kilograms


    Speed: 122.4 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 30.7 (31.4) Rank


    Willpower: 33 Rank


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 38.3% (current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: 13 Rank (training efficiency 10+0.5+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 42%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 42%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± (First Rank 6 Level: 6 Level)


    ¡­


    ¡°A leap to Life Level 20, I can understand the changes in the Divine Palace panel data,¡± Li Yuan was both shocked and puzzled in his heart, ¡°But what about those parentheses after the Life Level and Spiritual Power? What do they mean?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that this is the limit of Life Level I can reach in an extremely short time?¡± Li Yuan guessed.


    It was only natural for Li Yuan to think this way.


    Because!


    Normally, for a Martial Artist to transition from First Rank to Second Rank, once the Sea of Source Energy is established and the physical quality transforms to Level 20, it would gradually come to a halt¡­ Afterwards, one would have to train slowly.


    But at this moment, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level had reached 20.1 Rank, and as the Star Meridian operated, that pure Origin Power¡­ was still pushing his physical quality to continuously soar.


    ¡°Most likely.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s due to the Perfect Star Vein,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart surged with excitement, this kind of soaring in physical quality was just too exhilarating.


    It was as if going from an infant in the past to a stout man in a very short time.


    ¡°87,600 kilograms!¡±


    ¡°91,200 kilograms.¡±


    ¡°96,600 kilograms.¡± Li Yuan felt his body transforming, and could also see the detailed changes in standard Fist Strength and Spiritual Power on the Divine Palace panel.


    This was an unprecedented transformation.


    ¡­


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, War Fortress.


    In a super-sized conference room.


    At this moment, gathered here were not only Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe, but also four more figures.


    Among them, two were very young, naturally they were Tavares and Abbott, as mentioned by Wu Manong.


    The other two, with much stronger life auras and visibly older faces. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Were the two Flying Heaven Warriors of the Blazing Flame Family left behind in the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡ªYanjun Ling and Yanjun Fox.


    ¡°Old Wu, how¡¯s the situation?¡± the burly Tavares, resembling a War God, asked in a deep voice.


    He and Abbott had just arrived and were not fully aware of the details yet.


    ¡°The vanguard troops have been inside for seven hours, Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others for five hours,¡± Wu Manong was extremely calm, ¡°Now, all the armies mobilized by the alliance have already entered the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°The number of dead First Rank Martial Artists exceeds 1,200.¡±


    ¡°Dead reserve Prime Warriors total 16.¡±


    ¡°The seven prodigies are all safe for the time being,¡± Wu Manong said calmly, ¡°At the same time, we have inflicted over 100 casualties on them. Although we have suffered heavy losses, the situation has basically reversed.¡±


    ¡°Now, we have forced the troops of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to retreat,¡± Wu Manong stated.


    ¡°How many Prime Warriors do we have on our side?¡± Abbott asked the critical question.


    ¡°Regular Prime Warriors already exceed 70 in number, six of the seven prodigies have already broken through,¡± Wu Manong said solemnly, ¡°But they alone will have a hard time winning¡­ Si Feng broke through to become a Prime Warrior, at Level 20.3, and encountered a powerful Prime Warrior of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom. If it weren¡¯t for Xiong Ze arriving just in time to rescue him, he would probably have died.¡±


    ¡°The enemy also has Fifth Stage Skill, but their Physical Quality is much stronger, definitely having used some precious treasures after entering the World within Worlds,¡± Wu Manong stated.


    ¡°And, we still do not know if this is the strongest member of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team.¡±


    All those present felt the pressure.


    In terms of accumulated treasures, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom could only be stronger.


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡± The middle-aged man in fiery red robes, ¡®Yanjun Fox¡¯, asked with confusion, ¡°Wasn¡¯t he said to be the strongest? Let him take action.¡±


    Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others were momentarily taken aback before looking at Yanjun Fox with puzzled eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yanjun Fox felt the gazes of Wu Manong and the others and couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Did I say something wrong?¡±


    ¡°Yun Fox.¡± Yanjun Ling next to him frowned, ¡°Li Yuan still needs to take the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡¯ a Fourth Rank treasure. Fully digesting it also takes a considerable amount of time¡­ be patient.¡±


    ¡°I can wait.¡±


    ¡°But the longer the delay, when Gu Yue Divine Kingdom truly uncovers the secrets of the World within Worlds, they may send even more people to kill their way in,¡± Yanjun Fox couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°At that time, if the situation collapses, can they bear the responsibility?¡±


    ¡°Shut up.¡± Wu Manong¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, ¡°Not satisfied? Then send your Blazing Flame Family¡¯s First Rank Martial Artists to see if they can win?¡±


    He had long been dissatisfied with the Blazing Flame Family.


    ¡°What¡¯s with your attitude?¡± Yanjun Fox immediately got angry, considering himself a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Always staying in the reproduction area of Fierce Feather Star Realm, he was used to giving orders without question.


    ¡°This is my attitude.¡±


    ¡°Not convinced? Believe it or not, I can beat you into submission?¡± Wu Manong¡¯s eyes were icy, ¡°Remember, I am the supreme commander.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, isn¡¯t your Blazing Flame Family responsible for this current situation?¡±


    ¡°You had such a treasure spot yet kept it secret and did not report it. If it had been reported earlier, would the situation be as dire? Would Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have had the chance to interfere?¡± Wu Manong sneered, ¡°If you really had the ability, you wouldn¡¯t need the alliance to wipe your ass.¡±

    Chapter 334: Chapter 236: Breakthrough! Prime Warrior (Additional Chapters 30, 31)_4


    ¡°Do you see those thousands of martial artists who died in battle?¡±


    ¡°They didn¡¯t have to die.¡± Wu Manong stared intensely at the Flame Cloud Fox, an invisible aura already spreading around him as if he was about to explode at any moment.


    That look, it made Flame Cloud Fox¡¯s heart tremble slightly.


    If it were a normal 29th rank Prime Warrior, he could kill them with one move, but Wu Manong? He was a genius Prime Warrior ranked among the top twenty in the entire civilization.


    ¡°Old Wu, say less,¡± Yu Jinghe said softly.


    ¡°Hmph.¡± Wu Manong snorted coldly and turned to continue looking at the map projection screen not far away.


    And the vast number of combatants, constantly sending back messages.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm? Not good! Kross and Alicia are calling for help,¡± Abbott¡¯s face suddenly changed.


    He pointed at two messages that flashed past on the projection screens.


    ¡°Help! Encountered three fifth stage skill Prime Warriors, at least one is level 22! Help!¡±


    ¡°Help!¡±


    ¡­


    Within World within Worlds, in the underground cavern by the huge crevice where Li Yuan was in seclusion.


    It was utterly tranquil.


    ¡°Finally, I¡¯ve broken through as a Prime Warrior, the transformation is completely finished,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the terrifying power surging within him: ¡°To think that a single breakthrough could elevate me to level 22.2! It¡¯s truly unbelievable!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze once again swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 22.2 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 194,000 kilograms


    Speed: 184 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 31.4 level


    Willpower: 33 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 38.3% (Current limit 40%)


    Star Meridian: 13 level (Training efficiency 10+0.5+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 42%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 42%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± (First Rank level 6:6 level)


    ¡­


    In the outside world, Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, and others thought that Li Yuan¡¯s prolonged breakthrough was due to consuming the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡¯ which required a lot of time to digest the fruit¡¯s effects.


    Only Li Yuan himself understood.


    No!


    It was simply because the ¡®Origin Power¡¯ born from the Sea of Source Energy was too pure, causing his physical quality to transform at high speed.


    Only after reaching level 22.2 did his Life Level finally stabilize completely.


    From level 19.9, leaping directly to 22.2, it took Li Yuan over four hours.


    But the time spent was worth it.


    ¡°My Fist Strength is about 2.5 times what it was before the breakthrough, and my Burst Speed is 1.5 times faster,¡± Li Yuan was both overjoyed and amazed: ¡°Perfect Star Vein!!¡±


    By now, Li Yuan was absolutely certain, this was all thanks to the Perfect Star Vein.


    Other martial artists, upon breaking through, were usually at level 20.0, 20.1, and the impressive ones were around level 20.3 right after their breakthrough.


    And himself?


    He directly soared to level 22.2!


    ¡°With such a strong foundation,¡± Li Yuan clenched his fists, his body seeming to possess boundless strength: ¡°Next, I can still consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit.¡±


    ¡°And what about when Origin Power enters the body?¡±


    By then, how far his physical quality would soar, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t even imagine.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan looked down at his smart bracelet, his expression changing: ¡°Kross and Alicia are in danger?¡±


    ¡°Three powerful Prime Warriors? All with fifth stage skills? One of them suspected to be level 22?¡±


    Such a team¡¯s strength was already extremely formidable.


    Even if Kross and Alicia became Prime Warriors, they might not be able to withstand it.


    ¡°Check the location coordinates.¡± Li Yuan immediately checked each other¡¯s coordinates.


    As user 0001, Li Yuan had very high-level access, able to check the location of others¡¯ communicators relative to his own at any time.


    ¡°23 kilometers?¡±


    ¡°Not far from me! There¡¯s hope for rescue.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved and he instantly shot out of the cave.


    With a thought.


    Boom!


    An Origin Power Battle Suit covered his entire body, and instantly the three major Star Meridians within him operated, with surging Origin Power rushing out from the Sea of Source Energy.


    In an instant, a layer of dim earthy yellow light completely enveloped Li Yuan.


    Origin Power burst forth! This was the full-strength state of a Prime Warrior!


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his whole body¡¯s Vigor was in motion.


    In just one second, Li Yuan¡¯s Burst Speed had already soared to an astonishing level, surpassing 220 meters/second.


    The entire person transformed into a terrifying streak of light rushing towards the distance, as if flying low to the ground, every step he took, the terrifying forces bursting forth caused the ground itself to tremble slightly.


    23 kilometers?


    It would take only about two minutes for Li Yuan to arrive!

 Chapter 335: 237: Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 335: Chapter 237: Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Votes)


    The crimson sun hung in the sky, its light engulfing the land, vast and endless like blood.


    Amidst a mountain range, a great battle erupted.


    Five Prime Warriors, all clad in Origin Power Battle Suits, engaged fiercely in combat.


    The five powerhouses were faintly divided into two camps.


    One side consisted of three people, led by a thin, tall figure shrouded in faint lightning, wielding a combat saber, his presence formidable and terrifying, fiercely attacking the petite figure of the opposing side.


    The other two members of this side were both radiating fiery red light, one holding a long spear, the other gripping a war hammer, both with an extremely frightening aura.


    The ones besieged by their trio were none other than Kross and Alicia.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Alicia channeled Origin Power, fully activating her Origin Power Battle Suit, her long sword radiating streaks of blue light, continuous like flowing water, fending off the attacks from the thin, tall, purple-robed figure.


    With every clash, Alicia was forced to retreat by the force of the impact.


    However, she seemed to possess an invisible magic power, as her gaze swept over, causing the tall purple figure to stagger and be continuously affected, unable to exert his full combat strength.


    Occasionally, Alicia¡¯s sword would even leave faint marks on his body.


    Alas.


    In terms of overall strength, Alicia and Kross, even when joining forces, fell far short of their opponents, and despite fleeing while fighting, they were still tightly ensnared.


    They had already fled over ten kilometers, yet they had not shaken off the pursuit.


    And with each collision, Kross¡¯s injuries worsened, making it increasingly difficult to even keep fleeing.


    The key.


    It was that tall figure shrouded in purple light. His strength was too terrifying; if it came to a normal fight, he was entirely capable of sweeping both of them aside.


    ¡°Just a few hours in,¡±


    ¡°and we¡¯re in dire straits. How can this lightning lineage Prime Warrior have such strong willpower?¡± Alicia gritted her teeth, iciness in her eyes.


    Boom!


    Time and again, terrifying Spiritual Shocks exploded from her spiritual world, continually sweeping towards the tall purple figure, repeatedly affecting him.


    Spiritual Secret Technique!


    Alicia was also extremely skilled in Spiritual Secret Techniques, and in some respects, she was even more adept than Li Yuan, which was why she had been able to withstand the three-on-one assault for so long with Kross.


    Her swordsmanship was also very defensive.


    ¡°Lei Wu, you still haven¡¯t been able to take them down after so long?¡± The fiery red figures holding the long spear and war hammer were both growing impatient.


    The battle had been going on for quite some time.


    They were worried that other powerful individuals from the Seven Star Civilization might come to the rescue.


    ¡°What¡¯s the rush,¡± the tall purple figure retorted coldly, ¡°The one before me must be one of the top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Not only is her swordsmanship excellent, but most importantly, her spiritual power is extremely strong, probably at the Second Order Limit.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s not so easy to kill.¡±


    ¡°However, as time goes on, her Spiritual Secret Technique will have less effect on me, and she won¡¯t be able to hold on.¡±


    The three communicated in a special ¡®Secret Language,¡¯ not even in the common tongue of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Therefore, Alicia and Kross could not understand a word.


    ¡°Alicia, the one you¡¯re fighting is called Lei Wu; he¡¯s likely the strongest among them,¡± a youthful voice arose in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°He must have cultivated some sort of defensive Spiritual Secret Technique. Continuing to fight this way, someone¡¯s going to die.¡±


    ¡°Little Star, can you understand what they¡¯re saying?¡± Alicia responded mentally.


    ¡°I understand. It¡¯s just a Secret Language,¡± the youthful voice replied: ¡°But understanding it is useless. You¡¯ve only reached level 29 in spiritual power after consuming the Heavenly Materials Treasures, far from exhibiting the true power of the Spiritual Secret Techniques I¡¯ve taught you¡­ If you had Flying Heaven level spiritual power, you¡¯d have a chance to win.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s not working, just run,¡±


    ¡°Ditch that deadweight Kross and hand control of your body to me,¡± the youthful voice urged: ¡°I guarantee we can escape with our lives.¡±


    ¡°If we keep delaying and you get injured, we won¡¯t be able to escape later,¡± the youthful voice said.


    ¡°No way!¡±


    Alicia firmly refused: ¡°It was Kross who came to save me at the start, how could I abandon him?¡±


    ¡°What do we do then? It wasn¡¯t easy for me to train you up,¡± the youthful voice sounded anxious as well.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic.¡±


    ¡°Little Star, if we hold them off, there¡¯s a chance,¡± Alicia responded fiercely: ¡°Reinforcements are almost here.¡±


    She was waiting!


    Why had she taken Kross and fled in this direction? She had received orders from an external base¡¯s command.


    Just then, suddenly!


    Boom!


    From the distant horizon, a faint rumble of the earth¡¯s trembling reached them, very slight, imperceptible to the common person.


    But the five brawling Prime Warriors, each capable of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man, had perception abilities far beyond ordinary people. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Almost at the same moment,


    Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom couldn¡¯t help but glance over, seeing a figure speeding toward them from several kilometers away on the mountain ridge above, at an astonishing velocity of nearly 180 meters per second.


    The figure swept across the Vast Sky, momentum breathtaking.


    Alicia and Kross, too, glanced over with their peripheral vision, seeing the figure rushing towards them, his body faintly radiating an earth-yellow glow.


    His face wasn¡¯t clear.


    But the two of them, through the prompt on their smart rings, instantly understood¡ªNumber 0001 had arrived.


    Li Yuan had come!!


    And from Li Yuan¡¯s running speed, they could both infer that he had completed his breakthrough.


    ¡°We¡¯re saved.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re saved,¡± the youthful voice echoed instantly in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°That little freak has come; no need to run anymore.¡±


    ¡°Shut up.¡±


    Alicia coldly responded, her long sword whistling through the air, more determined than ever in fending off Lei Wu¡¯s violent assaults.

    Chapter 336: Chapter 237: Where Did This Monster Come From! Sweep! (Requesting Monthly Pass) _2


    She knew full well that this was the most dangerous moment.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Kross too had gone mad, his eyes faintly tinged red as he desperately fended off the attacks from Dong Ming and Mai Ka.


    The two fought on while moving closer to the rapidly approaching Li Yuan.


    In their desperate resistance, Lei Wu and his two companions were, for the moment, unable to take down Alicia and Kross.


    ¡°Enemy reinforcements are coming.¡±


    ¡°Such speed, must be a Fifth Stage 20th-level Prime Warrior.¡±


    From Li Yuan¡¯s burst of speed alone, Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka could tell that the newcomer was trouble.


    ¡°Dong Ming, go intercept him,¡± Lei Wu issued the command.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    The fiery red, burly figure holding a long spear instantly shook off Kross and turned into a streak of fiery red light, charging toward Li Yuan who was now within a kilometer of the battlefield.


    ¡°A genius from the Seven Star Civilization, that¡¯s all there is to it.¡±


    ¡°My physical quality is close to 21st level, and I also possess Fifth Stage skills! Intercept? I¡¯ll have to kill you,¡± said the fiery red, burly figure confidently, a core prodigy from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Faced with a genius from the Seven Star Civilization, he couldn¡¯t help but adopt a ¡®condescending attitude.¡¯


    And the three of them had been on a killing spree all the way here.


    They had swept through large areas for hours without any obstruction, continuously slaughtering as they went, and even when encountering Alicia and Kross, they were still dominating the fight.


    How could they not feel confident?


    Boom! The fiery red, burly figure¡¯s speed soared to 180 meters per second, his limit in the Unity of Heaven and Man state.


    Rumbling~


    The two figures raced across the earth, one entirely khaki like a small boulder, the other like a flaming meteor¡­ The ground trembled; within seconds, they had crossed over a kilometer and finally collided head-on.


    ¡°Die.¡± The fiery red, burly figure bellowed angrily, his spear thrusting out like a dragon emerging from the sea, viciously aimed at the plummeting Li Yuan.


    The ferocity of this thrust caused the air itself to boom with a resonating blast.


    Dong Ming believed that even Lei Wu would have to slightly dodge the sharpness of this spear thrust.


    Boom! Li Yuan, who had just neared the battlefield and saw that Alicia and her companions seemed to still be holding on, had deliberately concealed his speed, but now he finally summoned all his Vigor in that instant.


    His speed leapt from 180 meters per second, suddenly increasing by a significant margin.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Dong Ming¡¯s face changed slightly, sensing Li Yuan¡¯s aura suddenly become as fierce as a primitive beast.


    But it was too late for him to respond.


    ¡°Damn you, it¡¯s you!¡± An enraged shout exploded like thunder.


    Boom! A terrifying spiritual shock, like a surging river, instantly swept over everything.


    ¡°Pong~¡± Dong Ming, a core prodigy of the Divine Kingdom with naturally extraordinary talent and very respectable spiritual power, having reached 25th level¡­ However, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had also greatly increased.


    Jumping from 30.5 to 31.4 level, such an increase in foundation after surpassing 30th level¡­ was tremendously exaggerated.


    Like a heavy hammer smashing down, it momentarily stunned Dong Ming¡¯s mind.


    And in the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, Li Yuan was unleashing a Spiritual Secret Technique in that instant.


    Whoosh!


    His Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust out, with the explosive force of over 300,000 kilograms; a thrust like a myriad of stars filling the vast sky, the force swirling like a vortex, each spear tip imbued with unstoppable terror.


    True Intent Killing Move¡ªGalactic Spiral.


    This defensive move, used for the offense, was equally terrifying, capable of vastly enhancing the Spear Technique¡¯s power.


    ¡°Tear!¡±


    With the tremendous force, the thrust instantly shook open Dong Ming¡¯s instinctively thrust spear, and the spear tip then struck his body, piercing straight through the surface Origin Power defense and thoroughly penetrating the Origin Power Battle Suit.


    A thrust pierced through.


    The impact burst forth!


    ¡°No!!¡± Dong Ming¡¯s excruciating pain snapped him back to clarity, followed by endless fear flashing in his eyes.


    ¡°Tear~¡±


    Dong Ming¡¯s burly body, along with his Origin Power Battle Garment, was already torn into two halves.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan did not hesitate and immediately dashed forward, thrusting his spear out swiftly once more!


    He struck directly at Dong Ming¡¯s half-body¡¯s head that was thrown into the air.


    ¡°Pong~¡± The head instantly exploded!


    The core prodigy of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, ¡®Dong Ming,¡¯ died!


    The most fatal weak point of a Prime Warrior was the ¡®head¡¯; otherwise, even if the body was half-destroyed, the heart shattered¡­ if there were precious life-saving items, there was still a chance of survival.


    The life that has stepped onto the extraordinary path cannot be equated with the life that has not.


    Thus, in combat with Prime Warriors, the best way to confirm the enemy¡¯s death.


    Was to destroy the head.


    ¡°[You have slain a Second-Rank being, obtained spiritual nature nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level reaches 38.7%]¡± A prompt from the Divine Palace flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s vision.


    The reason for such a large increase.


    It was because on his way here, Li Yuan had casually killed an ordinary Prime Warrior of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡­ plus several First Rank Martial Artists.


    Actually.


    The current team of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was centered around Lei Wu, Dong Ming, and Mai Ka, with over a hundred people concentrated within a radius of dozens of kilometers to search¡­ Once someone encountered trouble, they would transmit a message to let Lei Wu and the others rush over. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    These hundred-plus people were like a giant grinding mill, crushing all the strong warriors of the Seven Star Civilization they encountered along the way.


    That¡¯s why Alicia and the others were discovered so quickly.


    Similarly.


    Once Li Yuan broke in, it also meant there was a complete hope of inflicting a devastating blow on the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team in a very short time.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan, who killed Dong Ming with two shots.


    Did not bother to pick up the spoils of war.


    Instead, like a bolt of lightning, his movement speed did not diminish in the slightest, continuing to kill towards the distant Lei Wu and Mai Ka.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Killed Dong Ming in a single encounter?¡± Both Lei Wu and Mai Ka were shocked at the sight.


    They had thought that even if Dong Ming couldn¡¯t stop this newly supported Seven Star Civilization Prime Warrior, delaying him should be no problem.


    Who could have imagined, with just one encounter, Dong Ming was dead.


    ¡°Where did this monster come from?¡± Mai Ka¡¯s heart trembled.


    ¡°Even for me, going all out to kill Dong Ming would take dozens of moves, a single encounter?¡± Lei Wu was even more shocked in his heart, ¡°If my combat power is 600, this person¡¯s combat strength is definitely over 1000!¡±


    ¡°This guy, at least, is a Semi Divine Level genius, absolutely the primary force of the Seven Star Civilization that has killed their way in, I am no match for him.¡±


    ¡°Escape!¡±


    Boom! Boom! Lei Wu and Mai Ka transmitted messages like lightning while they didn¡¯t hesitate to flee.


    No choice!


    Li Yuan¡¯s display of overwhelming dominance completely intimidated the two of them.


    ¡°Pursue and kill.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t run.¡± Alicia, Kross wanted to pursue but felt somewhat helpless.


    The previous battle had caused significant damage to their bodies.


    ¡­ ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Both Kross and Alicia were shocked and excited in their hearts.


    They knew Li Yuan was powerful, that once he broke through to become a Prime Warrior, he¡¯d definitely be more terrifying, but they hadn¡¯t expected him to be terrifying to this extent.


    ¡°Escaping for their lives?¡±


    ¡°That purple figure¡¯s speed is not inferior to mine! First kill the easier one.¡± Li Yuan quickly judged in his heart and rushed straight towards Mai Ka.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The earth trembled, Lei Wu and Mai Ka fled in separate directions, especially Lei Wu, whose Physical Quality was slightly stronger than Li Yuan¡¯s, even if his Skill Realm was slightly weaker, but altogether, his speed was not inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s.


    As for Mai Ka? His speed was fast, but Li Yuan¡¯s full-force burst was even more terrifying.


    In just over ten seconds.


    Li Yuan had caught up to Mai Ka.


    ¡°Fall.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold.


    In a battle for life and death, a clash of civilizations, he couldn¡¯t allow himself any mercy.


    Boom! A Spiritual Shock surged, dazzling Spear Light cut through the Vast Sky, directly piercing through Mai Ka¡¯s chest.


    The body tore apart, turning into a sky of blood rain, quickly splattering in all directions on the earth.


    A one-shot kill!


    ¡°Sure runs fast, speed is even slightly faster than mine.¡± Li Yuan frowned as he looked into the distance, the purple figure had already sprinted nearly two kilometers away.


    Escaping rapidly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®Spiritual Attack¡¯ depended on the range of his Divine Sense, it could only affect within a hundred meters, and the closer the distance, the better the effect¡­


    When an opponent with such outrageous physical prowess was bent on escaping, it was nearly impossible for Li Yuan to pursue and kill him.


    ¡°Wait another day.¡±


    ¡°After I consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, it won¡¯t be difficult to kill him the next time we meet.¡± Li Yuan also didn¡¯t rashly pursue.


    Now, it wasn¡¯t confirmed that this person was the strongest in the ¡®Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s¡¯ team.


    Improving his strength was most important.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan stood on the spot and quickly collected the many spoils of war left behind by ¡®Mai Ka.¡¯


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Alicia and Kross were a few seconds slower, but finally caught up.

    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    This trip into the World within Worlds was fraught with great risk.


    Therefore, whether it was the seven great prodigies or the ordinary Prime Warriors, all carried a considerable number of treasures.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your strength is too formidable,¡± Kross couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°the few we fought against, whose strength was clearly on par with ours, were casually dealt with by you in a single encounter.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    The two he had just killed were far inferior in physical quality, and to be precise, only half as strong as him. Their skills were also weaker, probably at the Fifth Stage Initial Rank¡­ indeed talented, but not much in front of him.


    Geniuses? One should know that within the higher-ups of the Seven Star Alliance, he was acknowledged as a top-tier genius in the entire history of the civilization, and absolutely the first among his peers.


    Even without the Spiritual Secret Technique, Li Yuan was confident he could kill them within twenty moves.


    With the Spiritual Secret Technique, it was decisive.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, I¡¯m not strong enough, letting the last one escape,¡± Li Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Kross and Alicia were both taken aback.


    Not strong enough?


    ¡°Li Yuan, your Physical Quality should have reached level 22, right?¡± Alicia asked curiously.


    ¡°Uh-huh,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, as there was nothing to hide about this.


    Both of their skill realms were extremely high, and they could roughly estimate from the speed, strength, and power of the moves he deployed.


    ¡°The Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯s effect is really good,¡± Kross said with emotion, ¡°but only in your hands can it produce such a great effect; it would be somewhat wasted on us.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t used the Myriad Life Extension Fruit yet,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t used the Myriad Life Extension Fruit?¡± Kross and Alicia were shocked.


    This was completely beyond their expectations.


    ¡°Li Yuan, without using the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, how can your Physical Quality be so strong?¡± Alicia couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    She had used the Hundred Star Fruit to break through and establish her Sea of Source Energy, becoming a Martial Artist, but her Physical Quality only just reached level 20.1.


    She couldn¡¯t fathom how, without using the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, Li Yuan¡¯s strength could become so formidable.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°After I made a breakthrough, following the high-ranked Cultivation Methods and the Law Creation experiences of the predecessors¡­ I awakened three Star Meridians at once, one of which has already awakened to the level of the Fifth Layer Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Awakened three Star Meridians all at once?¡± Kross and Alicia were completely flabbergasted upon hearing this.


    Their horizons were very high and they naturally understood the difference between the number of Star Meridians and the layers of Star Meridians.


    If Li Yuan had cultivated high-rank Cultivation Methods from the beginning and awakened to the Fifth Layer, they would understand.


    But the key point was, based on what they knew about Li Yuan, he hadn¡¯t awakened martial spirit at all.


    How could he be such a monster?


    ¡°Alicia!!¡±


    ¡°A genius! A true genius!¡±


    ¡°He hadn¡¯t even cultivated any cultivation methods and became a Prime Warrior in one step?¡± A juvenile voice screeched in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°If what he said is true, then it means his Star Meridian potential is extremely high, exaggeratedly so.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why he could immediately elevate his Life Level to level 22 upon his breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°Then, he may very well have the potential to awaken Seven Star Veins, Nine Layer Star Veins. It¡¯s just too monstrous.¡±


    ¡°How could your Fourth Level Civilization give birth to such a monstrous genius.¡±


    ¡°Little Star, are Seven Star Veins, Nine Layer Star Veins that strong?¡± Alicia asked with confusion.


    She was aware of the basic concepts of Star Meridians and Star Techniques, but her vision wasn¡¯t as broad as Li Yuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Strong? It¡¯s monstrous!!¡±


    ¡°Even among the vast dimensions of the cosmos, in those extremely powerful nations and sects, Seven Star Veins qualify as top-notch geniuses,¡± the juvenile voice vibrated with a hint of excitement, ¡°To develop and awaken one Star Meridian to Nine Layers is the foundation of cultivating the Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°If one can wield an offensive Supreme Star Technique proficiently, it would be very easy to slay a Demigod of the Flying Heaven.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity.¡±


    ¡°He was born in your weak Fourth Level Civilization, making his rise to prominence much more difficult¡­ If you want to surpass this Li Yuan, it¡¯s really a bit difficult. He¡¯s not just a little monster, he¡¯s a great one,¡± the juvenile voice lamented.


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you saying that you¡¯re definitely able to make me surpass Li Yuan?¡± Alicia replied with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s different! Different!¡± the juvenile voice exclaimed, ¡°You need to understand, if what Li Yuan just said is true, and not bragging¡­ coupled with his Comprehension talent, if he were in a high-level civilization, even Divine beings would scramble to take him as a disciple.¡±


    ¡°Being sought after by Divine beings as a disciple?¡± Alicia was shaken inwardly.


    She knew Little Star was powerful; in Little Star¡¯s words, even a Demigod seemed not much¡­ But towards Divine beings, Little Star still maintained great reverence.


    ¡°Being sought after by Divine beings as a disciple, what does that say about Li Yuan¡¯s potential?¡± Little Star replied.


    ¡­


    Alicia¡¯s communication with the resident wraith.


    Li Yuan, of course, had no idea about all this, and he didn¡¯t really have a clear concept of the true significance of the information he had revealed.

    ¡°`


    In Li Yuan¡¯s opinion, revealing that he had awakened three Star Meridians at once, though it was an exaggeration, still fell within a reasonable range and could be attributed to his exceptional talent.


    And the reason Li Yuan wanted to reveal this to Kross and Alicia was a simple one.


    He intended to use the two of them to convey the message to the higher-ups of the alliance.


    This was to lay the groundwork for directly taking the possible ¡°Earth Origin Crystals¡± that might exist within the Worlds within Worlds later on.


    At the same time, it was also to lay the groundwork for revealing his extraordinary talent potential to the alliance¡¯s top brass after leaving the World within Worlds¡­ after all, according to Li Yuan¡¯s plan, he would have to gradually reveal his ¡°Nine Layers Star Vein¡± potential in order to receive the best cultivation from the entire civilization.


    ¡°Conceal my talent?¡±


    ¡°No! I concealed the talent of my Star Meridians when I was at the First Rank because it was beyond reasonable limits,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°But now I have stepped into the Second Rank, so even if I gradually awaken the Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins¡­ it would all still be within a reasonable range.¡±


    There is a difference between someone growing to three meters tall and someone sprouting a pair of wings.


    ¡°I have talent, and the support of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.¡±


    ¡°But I also need to strive for the best external cultivation conditions,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Only then can I advance faster and more stably.¡±


    How far a person can go depends on personal talent, but it¡¯s also inseparable from external conditions.


    ¡­


    The three of them communicated at an extremely fast pace.


    Swiftly, Li Yuan, Kross, and Alicia pooled together their recovered items.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take half of all the treasures, and you two each take a quarter, how about that?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, they¡¯re all yours. If it weren¡¯t for you, we both would be dead,¡± Kross and Alicia both shook their heads.


    Divide half? The two of them still had some self-awareness.


    Moreover, as geniuses, they also had their pride.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take eighty percent of the treasures,¡± Li Yuan did not insist. ¡°Each of you will take roughly ten percent.¡±


    ¡°You also contributed, had you not held them back, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill them,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly.


    Ultimately.


    Convinced by Li Yuan, Kross and Alicia each accepted a portion of the treasures.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what¡¯s the next move? Continue hunting down the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors?¡± Kross inquired. ¡°According to the information gathered by us martial artists, there should now be quite a number of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors gathered around us.¡±


    The quick convergence of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s warriors and the relentless inquiry by the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s powerhouses naturally garnered attention.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not,¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry at this moment. I would rather first consume the Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡± Li Yuan said softly. ¡°When my strength reaches its peak, I can then go directly to the outskirts of the Divine Palace ruins and annihilate the core experts of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    Li Yuan was very cautious.


    Although his Spiritual Awakening Level was close to 39%, theoretically, by killing five or six Second Rank Alien Race members¡­ Li Yuan was more worried that there might be existences stronger than Lei Wu among the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s forces.


    If encountered, could he be certain of winning?


    Better to lie low and grow first, and hunt with greater strength later.


    Martial Arts Cultivation and staking life on adventures despise reckless and meaningless bravery.


    Sooner or later, the Spiritual Awakening Level will reach 40%; what difference does it make a little sooner or a little later?


    In fact.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the need to rescue Alicia and the others, Li Yuan would definitely continue his Concealed Cultivation and completely assimilate the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit before coming out of seclusion.


    ¡°That might be best,¡±


    ¡°The vicinity of the Divine Palace ruins indeed holds the top battle strength of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom,¡± Alicia asserted.


    In the few hours while Li Yuan was in seclusion, the thousands of martial artists from the Seven Star Civilization explored the whole World within Worlds. Naturally, some ventured too near the Divine Palace ruins¡­ all died in battle.


    Even two Prime Warriors had died.


    However, the news they sent back before dying clearly indicated there was a formidable enemy.


    ¡°Do not approach the Divine Palace ruins for now,¡± Li Yuan said softly. ¡°After this battle, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom will surely be wary of me.¡±


    ¡°You two join the other martial artists first and explore the other areas of the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t stray too far from me; if you encounter danger, immediately seek my help.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Kross and Alicia nodded without hesitation.


    Unknowingly, they had completely positioned themselves as subordinates.


    ¡­


    Soon after, the three of them separated.


    Li Yuan left alone, this time choosing a direction away from the Divine Palace ruins, and escaped over twenty kilometers.


    ¡°`


    Just now, on an inconspicuous Gobi desert, he searched for an inconspicuous pit.


    He hid inside it.


    ¡°Here, it¡¯s over 20 kilometers from where the battle just took place, and over 180 kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Within a short time, even the top warriors from Gu Yue Divine Palace would find it difficult to locate me.¡±


    He completely released his spiritual power.


    Concentrating his spirit, he calmed his mind, and after dozens of seconds, Li Yuan¡¯s heart became completely tranquil.


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his palm, a translucent white fruit appeared in his hand. The surface of the fruit faintly shimmered with divine light and emitted a strange and intoxicating fragrance.


    ¡°A Fourth Rank treasure.¡±


    ¡°How will it enhance my physical quality with a single use?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed with anticipation.


    He had no plans to save the treasure for trading later.


    Swallowed to secure, enhancing strength to cope with the imminent great battle.


    He opened his mouth.


    ¡°Pfft~¡± Li Yuan, who already knew the effect of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, ate and swallowed it in a few bites. It melted instantly upon entering his mouth.


    Just after swallowing it.


    Hiss~ A refreshing sensation immediately rose from his abdomen and shot straight to the crown of his head, sending him into an invigorating shudder.


    Too exhilarating.


    ¡°The Myriad Life Extension Fruit, containing immense energy, is generally painless to use as long as the body can bear it,¡± Li Yuan thought with great joy.


    Rapidly.


    Hum~ Hum~ Invisible forces began to surge from his abdomen into the tendons and bones of his limbs and skeletal structure,


    Instantly, his body parts, which had ceased evolving, commenced a new round of transformation.


    Li Yuan felt his whole body subtly trembling, his bones becoming stronger, and his muscles, flesh, hair¡­ every part of his body relentlessly grew stronger!!


    ¡°[Your life level has increased from 22.2 to 22.3]¡±


    ¡°[Your life level has increased from 22.3 to 22.4]¡± As time went by, a series of Divine Palace notifications flickered past Li Yuan¡¯s line of sight.


    Astonishing transformation.


    Leap-like growth.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s realm of skill, he didn¡¯t feel the slightest discomfort from the rapid transformation of his body.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan consumed the Myriad Life Extension Fruit and a new round of transformation began.


    About eighty kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins, on the vast barren land.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The towering redhead with a black-robed, chubby man finally spotted a purple-robed figure rushing towards them.


    ¡°Lei Wu,¡± the burly redhead said in a deep voice, looking at the disheveled Lei Wu, ¡°What exactly happened? You only sent a message saying that you encountered a great enemy and asked us to retreat immediately. What kind of great enemy is it?¡±


    ¡°Are Dong Ming and Mai Ka really dead?¡± The black-robed chubby man couldn¡¯t help but speak up, his eyes slightly red, as he had a good relationship with the two.


    Whoosh!


    Lei Wu flopped down on a rock, finally breathing a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing a trace of fear as he looked at the two and said, ¡°Would I lie to you?¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t faced him in reality, you simply don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°The genius sent by the Seven Star Civilization is terrifyingly strong, his physical quality is close to mine, and his skill level is even higher than mine,¡± Lei Wu continued with lingering fear in his eyes, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t escaped quickly, I would have been killed by him too.¡±


    The burly redhead and the black-robed chubby man exchanged glances, a shock visible in their eyes. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    They knew well how powerful Lei Wu was.


    And how arrogant Lei Wu could be.


    To be driven to such a state? To flee in a panic, was that Seven Star Civilization genius that strong?


    ¡°Tie Mu¡¯er, how¡¯s the situation with the message you sent to Mintian Hou asking for reinforcements?¡± Lei Wu turned to the burly redhead, ¡°If there are no reinforcements, I plan to leave the relics¡¯ world. I don¡¯t want to die here.¡±


    ¡°The reinforcements are almost here.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve already reached the Star Realm base and should be entering the remains world at any moment,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er quickly said, ¡°Just ten minutes ago, General Shan Yun sent me a message.¡±


    ¡°The reinforcements, who are they?¡± Lei Wu asked.


    ¡°Mo Hu! And he has brought a large number of First Rank warriors with him,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er said solemnly.


    ¡°Mo Hu, he¡¯s willing to risk coming here?¡± Lei Wu¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, ¡°He¡¯s a Semi Divine Level genius, probably the only one under Mintian Hou¡¯s command, right?¡±


    The five of them, though elite under Mintian Hou¡¯s command with the potential to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But such elites, and a Semi Divine Level genius, have an essential difference.

 Chapter 339: 239 Shocking! The Effect of Rare Treasures (Additional 32)

    Chapter 339: Chapter 239 Shocking! The Effect of Rare Treasures (Additional 32)


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, as a powerful civilization that gave birth to divine beings¡­ is fundamentally different from the Seven Star Civilization.


    The Seven Star Civilization, due to the imperfection of the Martial Path, has to date only seven High Rank Cultivation Methods; thus, many martial arts talents have not been truly selected for various reasons.


    But the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with years of accumulation, has a better cultivation environment and a wider variety of cultivation techniques, resulting in an astonishing number of emerging elites among the younger generation.


    Given the same population, the number of Martial Artists born is more than ten times that of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Therefore, within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, there are many elite talents like Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu who have the potential to achieve ¡®Flying Heaven¡¯.


    But!!


    Moving up, real talents who have the hope of becoming Demigods? In some ways, they are even rarer than a talent like Dantai Feng.


    The numbers are very small.


    Mintian Hou, as a powerful duke of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, is a true Semi-Divine being¡­ and cannot directly command the Semi-Divine Level talents within the kingdom.


    Semi-Divine Level talents.


    Each one is a talent highly valued by the upper echelons of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    ¡°Mo Hu is merely born from a territory owned by Mintian Hou, and cannot be said to be his subordinate,¡± the short and plump man in black said solemnly, ¡°It must be that Mintian Hou lured him with treasures.¡±


    ¡°Still, I remember Mo Hu is only at the 19th Level, right? To push him rapidly to Prime Warrior, Mintian Hou must have paid a heavy price,¡± the man in black murmur regretfully.


    ¡°Mmm.¡±


    Both Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu nodded, harboring great respect for Mintian Hou and willing to follow his commands.


    But up to this point, they find this mission exceptionally challenging.


    The backlash from the Seven Star Civilization is beyond their expectations.


    ¡°Since Mo Hu has come, he must have brought a Fourth Rank treasure with him. Once he breaks through his Physical Quality, he¡¯ll definitely grow stronger rapidly, and killing the Seven Star Civilization talent mentioned by Lei Wu shouldn¡¯t be difficult,¡± the light flickered in the eyes of the man in black.


    He deeply desired to avenge the deaths of his two close friends, Dong Ming and Mai Ka.


    ¡°In theory, that is true,¡± the slender man in purple robes, ¡®Lei Wu¡¯, said softly, ¡°However, before Mo Hu completes his breakthrough, I suggest we retreat first.¡±


    ¡°And instruct everyone to pull back.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to clash head-on with the people from the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Lei Wu shook his head, ¡°After all, we¡¯re no longer in a position to gain the greatest benefits, preserving life is more important.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Lei Wu is correct,¡± the bulky, red-haired man spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Given the situation¡¯s ambiguity, Mo Hu¡­ may not necessarily win, and even if he does, he will be the primary contributor. What great merit would we have then?¡±


    ¡°Our priority is to survive.¡±


    The three quickly reached a consensus.


    If it were when they had first invaded the World within Worlds, relying on surprise attacks to sweep away the First Rank and Second Rank Martial Artists of the Blazing Flame Family, they were full of ambition, aiming to establish grand merits and even more so to uncover the true secrets of this relic world.


    But now?


    Having witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying strength, along with the arrival of the Semi-Divine Level talent Mo Hu¡­ they had all calmed down.


    The battle for the World within Worlds has become extremely hazardous for them.


    A mere misstep could lead to their demise.


    ¡­


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯s war base, within that oversized conference room.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan managed to kill talents on the same level as Alicia and the others in just one encounter?¡±


    ¡°Killed two and one fled?¡± Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe anticipated this and remained composed.


    But Tavares, Abbott, and the Blazing Cloud Fox were somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing the news.


    That¡¯s excessively valiant.


    ¡°Blazing Cloud Fox, are you satisfied now?¡± Wu Manong said coldly, ¡°Still have any objections about Li Yuan? If not for him, I doubt your family¡¯s century-old foundation would have been preserved.¡±


    ¡°I was wrong, Li Yuan is indeed formidable,¡± Blazing Cloud Fox admitted, ¡°After the war is over and the World within Worlds is under our control, I will be sure to thank Li Yuan in person.¡±


    This scene somewhat surprised Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others.


    A respectable Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Resilient and adaptable!


    ¡°Old Yu, come out for a moment,¡± Wu Manong whispered suddenly.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded, aware of what Wu Manong wanted to discuss with him.


    It was about the secret message passed by Alicia and Kross.


    ¡°Tavares, you take command for now,¡± Wu Manong instructed before leaving the conference room with Yu Jinghe.


    ¡­


    The two arrived in another conference room.


    ¡°Did you see the message too?¡± Yu Jinghe asked softly.


    ¡°Hmm, the authority to receive secret messages is limited to just you and me,¡± Wu Manong replied gravely, ¡°It just feels¡­ somewhat incredible to me.¡±


    ¡°To not use Myriad Life Extension Fruit, yet directly surge to the 22nd Level in Physical Quality, it truly is unbelievable,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s voice carried a hint of amazement, ¡°But if what Alicia and the others said is true¡­ and if Li Yuan indeed awakened three Star Meridians in one go, with one reaching the Fifth Layer, then his rapid increase in Physical Quality is also not impossible.¡±


    ¡°I always considered myself a genius, and I find it difficult to concede to anyone,¡± Wu Manong shook his head slightly, ¡°But compared to Li Yuan¡­ I indeed fall short by a lot.¡±


    ¡°Do not be too hard on yourself,¡± Yu Jinghe smiled, ¡°On the path of the Martial Path, focus on oneself, why bother about others?¡±


    ¡°For us,¡±


    ¡°The stronger Li Yuan is, the better, right?¡± Yu Jinghe laughed, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing for our entire Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°I know it¡¯s a good thing,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just, such monstrous talents have only been heard of emerging from godly civilizations before,¡± Wu Manong said with a sense of sentiment, ¡°The era of the Hall Master¡­ is too far removed from us.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s just under 19, and with his Comprehension coupled with such meridian talents¡­ perhaps our Seven Star Civilization will soon produce another supreme being to rival the Hall Master,¡± Wu Manong reflected.


    ¡°Mmm,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded slightly.


    As top talents of the entire civilization, their combat power on par with Flying Heaven Warriors, they had access to many secret messages¡­ but in their hearts, Dongfang Ji had always remained at the pinnacle.


    He was the Seas Calming Divine Needle of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Report to the top,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°Submit it to the highest echelon of the Martial Hall, and let them decide.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°As for how he should be cultivated, await the command from the highest echelon.¡±


    In this operation, Wu Manong was directly in command¡­ and Yu Jinghe, in a sense, was there to supervise.


    As a genius from Xia Country and a member of the Starfire Martial Hall¡­ Yu Jinghe might not be the strongest Prime Warrior in the Seven Star Civilization, but he is definitely one of the most trusted.


    ¡­


    Though sending messages from the Star Realm is not easy, and across planets even less so,


    for matters of such importance, the highest level of communication resources are activated.


    Just ten minutes later,


    a few of the top brass from the Seven Star Alliance and Starfire Martial Hall were already aware of some details regarding Li Yuan and the World within Worlds.


    Above Kunlun Martial University on Blue Star,


    inside a giant saucer-shaped flying craft, within the Quiet Cultivation Room, a large screen was projecting an image.


    ¡°Haha, Fang Hai, it looks like we made the right call,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine, dressed in a white casual outfit, said with a cheerful laugh: ¡°Li Yuan indeed has immense potential.¡±


    ¡°His Star Meridian talent is even stronger than we imagined,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said excitedly.


    As the first Semi-Divine and the actual leader of Xia Country,


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine pays close attention to any new talent born in Xia Country and places great importance on the younger generation.


    Yu Jinghe has done very well, and he is very satisfied.


    But compared to Yu Jinghe, it is Li Yuan¡¯s Transformation level that really caught his attention.


    ¡°When do you plan to tell your teacher?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Fang Hai: ¡°With Li Yuan¡¯s Comprehension paired with such a Star Meridian talent, he should qualify, shouldn¡¯t he?¡±


    ¡°At least, our Seven Star Civilization probably hasn¡¯t had such a monstrous talent before,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine remarked.


    In fact, Li Yuan himself could not have imagined the shock that his slight revelations had caused among the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Indeed not.¡±


    ¡°Even Xue Bu Semi-Divine doesn¡¯t seem to have a Star Meridian talent like Li Yuan,¡± Fang Hai whispered: ¡°But there is no need to hurry, for now it¡¯s only the word of a few combatant geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, Li Yuan is still inside that divine ruin and hasn¡¯t returned.¡±


    ¡°Once he comes back, if I personally verify that it¡¯s as reported today,¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°I will naturally report to my master.¡±


    ¡°By then, my master will surely be very pleased as well.¡±


    ¡°That works too,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded.


    ¡°By the way, have you verified what the Blazing Flame Family said?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked: ¡°Did that little girl, Lin Lanyue, really enter?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not certain.¡±


    ¡°We are helpless since it¡¯s a divine relic located in the Second Level Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai shook his head: ¡°All we can do is let Li Yuan and the others fight it out.¡±


    ¡°As for Mintian Hou¡­even though Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is powerful, he is just a common marquis and should only have limited resources at his disposal; his subordinates are unlikely to possess a First Rank Life Level genius capable of defeating Li Yuan,¡± Fang Hai added.


    Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is well-versed in the Seven Star Civilization.


    Similarly, for the Seven Star Civilization to stand tall, grow stronger over the centuries, and gradually infiltrate numerous star realms¡­ it naturally has its own sources of intelligence.


    In just a few days,


    the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization had already confirmed that the one vying for the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ against them was none other than Mintian Hou from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    ¡­


    As the outside world was in turmoil, Li Yuan, who was in the World within Worlds, was naturally unaware, for he had been fully digesting the miraculous effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit.


    Time passed, and the torrential, endless vitality almost completely submerged him.


    His Physical Quality soared incessantly.


    The continuous Transformation of muscles and bones made his strength and speed increasingly terrifying; his life aura became stronger and stronger.


    Most importantly, it was the vitality of his body¡¯s flesh and cell tissues¡­ Li Yuan could clearly feel that the vast majority of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯s energy was spent on enhancing cellular vitality.


    After a full six hours,


    the effectiveness of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit finally depleted, and Li Yuan¡¯s Transformation came to a halt.


    ¡°Finally, the Transformation is complete.¡±


    ¡°A precious treasure of the Fourth Rank, invaluable, is just gone like that,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, opening his eyes, a glint flashing through them.


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze also swept over his Divine Palace panel.

    Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling the terrifying, surging power within him: ¡°Fist Strength has increased by about 90,000 kilograms in one go.¡±


    ¡°Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?¡±


    ¡°What do you have to stop me?¡± Li Yuan stood up and walked to the cave entrance.

 Chapter 340: 240 Five Elements Divine Crystal

    Chapter 340: Chapter 240 Five Elements Divine Crystal


    A few days ago, when Wu Manong introduced it.


    He had mentioned the effects of the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, stating that its primary effect was increasing the vitality of the body¡¯s flesh and bones, with improving physical quality being secondary¡­ Among fourth rank treasures, very few can directly enhance physical quality without any side effects.


    Body vitality, such as limb regeneration, refers to greatly enhanced healing and life-preserving abilities.


    Now that Li Yuan has personally used it, he can confirm that Wu Manong¡¯s words were no fabrication.


    ¡°From level 20 to level 22, Basic Fist Strength increased from 80,000 kilograms to 180,000 kilograms,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°And I went from level 22.2 to level 23.7¡­ Similarly, that¡¯s an increase of nearly 90,000 kilograms in Fist Strength.¡±


    The higher the Life Level, the more astonishing the gap in strength becomes.


    ¡°In just a few days.¡±


    ¡°My physical quality has multiplied several times over,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with light: ¡°Has my strength not increased by more than tenfold?¡±


    The same physical quality can lead to different levels of combat power in the hands of different people.


    This time entering the World within Worlds has resulted in a drastic transformation for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Now if I run into Uncle Wan in a fight to the death, I estimate it would take about thirty moves to defeat him¡­ Hmm, Uncle Wan is my elder, I shouldn¡¯t think like this,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly, then immediately smiled again: ¡°In any case, Uncle Wan is no longer my match.¡±


    Wan Qinghe, the ¡®Starfire GuanShan Sub-Hall Master¡¯, who over a year ago seemed incredibly powerful in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Unknowingly, Li Yuan had truly surpassed him.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go.¡±


    ¡°First, I need to find Alicia and Si Feng and the others,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes quickly glanced at the Divine Palace panel: ¡°But the most important thing is to push my Spiritual Awakening Level up to 40%.¡±


    I¡¯m only 1.1% away from the 40% Awakening Level.


    In theory, just five or six more kills of Second Rank members of the Alien Race should suffice.


    Once attained, opening the fourth infusion of Origin Power, Li Yuan expects his Physical Quality will surge once again.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°In this World within Worlds, Second Rank members of the Alien Race don¡¯t seem to be as common as cabbages,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    ¡­


    The World within Worlds has a maximum diameter of 500 kilometers.


    Among the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, there are two particularly special places.


    The first are the exits scattered throughout the World within Worlds, so numerous they make the scalp tingle, almost impossible to guard completely. This is also why the Blazing Flame Family fell victim to stealth attacks.


    The second is the central Relic Divine Palace, which has been raided multiple times by the younger members of the Blazing Flame Family throughout history.


    The Relic Divine Palace contains the greatest secrets of the entire World within Worlds.


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family, Lanyue vanished without a trace, most likely having entered the interior of the Relic Divine Palace,¡± Li Yuan naturally hadn¡¯t forgotten his initial purpose for entering the World within Worlds.


    While on the move.


    Li Yuan also had communicated with Kross, Alicia, and others, getting a clear picture of the current situation.


    ¡°Li Yuan, we can¡¯t find anyone,¡± Alicia¡¯s voice came through the communicator, tinged with confusion: ¡°In the first few hours when you began your closed-door cultivation, we could still find quite a few members from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°We have eliminated quite a few enemies!¡±


    ¡°But in the past two hours, even though the 3,000 plus First Rank Martial Artists are scattered across the World within Worlds, we can¡¯t find any trace at all, not a single person.¡±


    ¡°In fact, Kross, Si Feng, Bai Ya, and I have come together. Even after entering the ruins of the Divine Palace, we couldn¡¯t find any trace of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team,¡± said Alicia.


    ¡°No one? What about that Divine Kingdom master who escaped from me earlier?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°We haven¡¯t encountered him again,¡± said Alicia.


    Li Yuan fell into thought; according to previous reports, within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team, there were at least two top masters.


    One was the one who had escaped from him.


    The other was previously stationed at the relics of the Divine Palace, consistently killing many Prime Warriors from his own side.


    In terms of strength, these two masters should be stronger than Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Kross.


    Probably, only Alicia could manage to hold off one of them¡­ Li Yuan could infer a thing or two about Alicia¡¯s true strength through her battle with Lei Wu.


    But now, not one could be found?


    ¡°Could it be that these Gu Yue Divine Kingdom masters, knowing they can¡¯t beat me, have directly withdrawn from the World within Worlds?¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too worried though; if the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom team left, that would be the best outcome, as it would avoid further casualties on his side¡­ As for the Spiritual Awakening Level?


    After leaving the World within Worlds, searching for some Second Rank members of the Alien Race in the Second Level Star Realm could certainly achieve the same result.


    Origin Power infusion was just to improve Physical Quality, and not Spiritual Guidance, so Li Yuan wasn¡¯t in a rush.


    ¡°Search!¡±


    ¡°Alicia, order all First Rank Martial Artists to continue searching with all their might. I suspect they are hiding, waiting for reinforcements,¡± Li Yuan issued the order: ¡°Search repeatedly to ensure no members of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom remain in the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Even if they hide, it¡¯s impossible for them to keep hiding. Once any trace is found, report it immediately.¡±


    ¡°Also, keep an eye on all known entry and exit points,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Alicia responded solemnly.


    In fact, Li Yuan¡¯s orders were very similar to the ones given by Wu Manong.


    Only repeated inquiries can confirm without doubt.


    ¡°Oh, and Li Yuan,¡± Alicia suddenly said, her voice containing a hint of surprise: ¡°We¡¯ve just got word from the team exploring large Origin Crystal mines¡ªthey¡¯ve just reported that they have nearly locked down the core location¡­ Here, there might actually be a fourth rank treasure ¡®Five Elements Divine Crystal¡¯.¡± S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Five Elements Divine Crystal?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened.


    Like the Fire Divine Crystal, Earth Origin Crystal, and so on, all can be collectively referred to as ¡®Five Elements Divine Crystal¡¯.


    ¡°Where is it?¡± Li Yuan immediately asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s about 30 kilometers from the Divine Palace ruins,¡± said Alicia. ¡°However, to truly seize the treasure, I¡¯m afraid there will be some trouble.¡±


    ¡°Trouble?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°You¡¯ll understand once you get here,¡± Alicia communicated. ¡°One Prime Warrior has already¡­ died.¡±


    ¡°Not killed by a powerful fighter of the Gu Yue Divine Palace, but died from the dangers of the ore vein itself.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m currently on my way there with Si Feng,¡± Alicia said.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s sense of caution intensified.


    The ones dispatched to the Middle Realm this time included a hundred Prime Warriors capable of direct breakthrough¡­ although for him, the strength of a Level 20 Prime Warrior was hardly worth mentioning.


    In reality, Prime Warriors possess Origin Power and can unleash a punch with the force of a hundred thousand kilograms, or move a hundred meters in a flash. In the eyes of ordinary people, they¡¯re already close to superhuman, and it is very difficult to kill them with common natural dangers.


    Boom!


    Transforming into a streak of light, Li Yuan slightly adjusted his direction and hurried towards the ¡®Ore Vein Core Location¡¯ sent by Alicia.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan rushed to the core of the ore vein.


    About 300 kilometers away from him, there was a continuous range of rocky gobi mountains.


    At the base of the mountain, lay an immense cavern illuminated by a few lights.


    At this moment, Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the black-clothed, portly man, all intent on surviving, were waiting here.


    With them were nearly twenty ordinary Prime Warriors and dozens of First Rank Martial Artists.


    Conserve strength!


    Avoid further casualties.


    Suddenly¡ª


    The faint sound of footsteps arose from a tunnel deep within the cavern, as if an invisible pressure enveloped the whole cave.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the others instantly turned their heads to look.


    ¡°He¡¯s here,¡± Lei Wu whispered.


    Seconds later, they saw a figure in a fiery red robe enter the main chamber of the cavern. His cheeks were rosy and slightly gaunt.


    Most striking were his eyes, sharp to the extreme.


    As his piercing gaze swept over them, Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.


    ¡°Prince Mo Hu,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and several dozen others greeted him in unison, their voices echoing through the cavern.


    In the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, the status of demigod geniuses was extremely high, on par with the peak of the Flying Heaven Level.


    To anyone below the Flying Heaven Level, one must address them as ¡°Your Highness¡± as a sign of respect.


    ¡°I have completed my breakthrough,¡± declared Prince Mo Hu nonchalantly. ¡°Now, I need you to tell me everything you know about the latest intelligence on the enemy.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Among the Seven Star Civilizations, according to the data we have collected so far, there are at least five Flying Heaven Level geniuses,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er said respectfully. ¡°There may be others we haven¡¯t discovered yet, after all, we are few in number and can¡¯t possibly encounter all of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s strong fighters.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Prince Mo Hu nodded slightly.


    Flying Heaven Level geniuses? Typically, those who can reach the Fifth Stage in their artistry while at the First Rank or early Second Rank Life Level, in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, are qualified to be called ¡®Flying Heaven Level geniuses.¡¯


    ¡°Of course, with Your Highness¡¯ strength, these people aren¡¯t worth worrying about. After all, they have just broken through and their Physical Quality seems to not even reach Level 21,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er said. ¡°What we truly need to be cautious of is that suspected Demigod Level genius.¡±


    ¡°Lei Wu, you have actually fought against him. You tell the story,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er looked towards Lei Wu.


    ¡°Fought and lived?¡± Prince Mo Hu looked at Lei Wu with interest.


    ¡°Your Highness is joking,¡± Lei Wu laughed bitterly. ¡°I fled at the first opportunity, that¡¯s how I survived.¡±


    ¡°That suspected Demigod Level genius, his Physical Quality should be on par with mine, between Level 22.0 and 22.5,¡± Lei Wu said.


    ¡°Quite average,¡± Prince Mo Hu commented indifferently. ¡°The Seven Star Civilization, after all, is just a Fourth Level Civilization. Even their top geniuses coming to compete for the divine inheritance can¡¯t provide much in the way of treasures.¡±


    Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu were speechless. Like the two of them, their Physical Quality had soared to Level 22 right after their breakthrough, thanks to precious treasures they had consumed.


    In their view, Mintian Hou had paid a great price for it.


    Yet it¡¯s still ¡®quite average¡¯?


    Such words could only come from ¡®Prince Mo Hu,¡¯ a Demigod Level genius.


    After all, he was someone who could converse directly with demigods.


    Even among the many geniuses of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Prince Mo Hu was truly top-notch.


    ¡°His artistry is near the Fifth Stage High Rank,¡± Lei Wu said earnestly.


    ¡°Near the Fifth Stage High Rank?¡± Surprise flashed in Prince Mo Hu¡¯s eyes. ¡°That high?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°The key point is, I suspect he possesses a Flying Heaven Level soul, with extremely powerful Spiritual Secret Techniques,¡± Lei Wu said seriously. ¡°It¡¯s the combination that allowed him to annihilate Dong Ming and Mai Ka in one encounter.¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level soul?¡± Prince Mo Hu¡¯s gaze finally became serious.


    Then, Prince Mo Hu¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile: ¡°This trip indeed seems interesting.¡±


    ¡°Such a small Seven Star Civilization was actually able to produce a Demigod Level genius. It¡¯s a pity that his Physical Quality is just average. He can¡¯t fully utilize his artistry to compete, not worth worrying about.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Prince Mo Hu proceeded to walk out of the cave.


    ¡°Your Highness, what are we doing now?¡± Tie Mu¡¯er quickly followed and inquired.


    ¡°To the site of the relics.¡±


    ¡°If we encounter that Demigod Level genius from the Seven Star Civilization, we¡¯ll just dispose of him on the way.¡±

 Chapter 341: 241: The Hand that Enshrouds World within Worlds? The Divine Crystal Appears!

    Chapter 341: Chapter 241: The Hand that Enshrouds World within Worlds? The Divine Crystal Appears!


    Li Yuan was unaware of the arrival of the Semi Divine Level genius ¡®Mo Hu¡¯.


    Because there was only one passage controlled by the Seven Star Civilization to enter the World within Worlds through the Luminous Passage.


    Once they entered the World within Worlds through the passage, the number of exits within it was vast. Each entrant would be randomly sent to any one of the exits¡­ So far, combined with the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, the total number of discovered exits had exceeded three hundred.


    Moreover, after many trials by the Blazing Flame Family, return through any exit¡­ would lead back to the original passage.


    Guarding these exits made it easier to judge whether more reinforcements from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were coming.


    But as for how many exits remained unchecked and uncontrolled, that was unclear.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization speculated that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom surely controlled a new passage as well as many exits unknown to their side.


    Otherwise, it would have been impossible to secretly send a large number of people into the World within Worlds.


    But as for how the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had gained control of the new passage? The Seven Star Civilization did not yet know.


    The Blazing Flame Family¡¯s previous claim to ¡®control the World within Worlds¡¯ was just guarding one passage.


    Although the Blazing Flame Family had always been exploring the World within Worlds, the true secrets of the World within Worlds? The Blazing Flame Family was also vague in their descriptions.


    In fact, when Mo Hu, along with Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and their group set out.


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the core area of the mine vein mentioned by Alicia.


    Under the continuous, vast mountain ranges.


    A rift valley approximately a hundred meters wide and several kilometers long appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s sight.


    ¡°The Five Elements Divine Crystal is in this valley?¡± Li Yuan frowned and said.


    Next to him, besides Alicia and Si Feng, there were nearly a hundred Martial Artists equipped with various instruments, most of whom were First Rank Martial Artists, but there were also five who had just broken through as Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Tong Guan, you speak.¡± Alicia whispered, ¡°This is our captain, also the strongest among us in the World within Worlds operation, number 0001.¡±


    ¡°Number 0001?¡±


    ¡°He is number 0001?¡± The five newly emerged Prime Warriors looked at Li Yuan with both curiosity and awe.


    Before entering the World within Worlds, they had already heard about the terrifying strength of this number 0001¡­ killing early Prime Warriors like themselves depended solely upon the amount of Origin Power.


    The Prime Warrior named Tong Guan, with a burly build, stepped forward respectfully and said, ¡°Senior.¡±


    Senior?


    Hearing this title, a movement stirred in Li Yuan¡¯s heart but he did not refute.


    In Martial Arts Cultivation, unless there is a clear master-disciple relationship, age is never used as a measure of seniority; strength comes first.


    Being addressed as ¡®senior¡¯ by an early Prime Warrior, Li Yuan felt that he could indeed bear such a title.


    ¡°Speak of the situation,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Tong Guan nodded, ¡°The 200 First Rank Martial Artists that our group of eight is responsible for are tasked with surveying this large Divine Crystal vein. We brought many instruments. Of course, many have died now¡­ According to the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, as we explored along the way, we finally located this place based on the fluctuations of Origin Power.¡±


    Tong Guan pointed towards the depths of the valley.


    ¡°Deep in the valley should be the core of many nodes within the entire vein,¡± Tong Guan said, his eyes revealing a hint of fear, ¡°Three of us Prime Warriors joined forces to descend, but upon reaching the bottom of the valley¡­ we encountered an attack.¡±


    ¡°An attack?¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°Strong individuals from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?¡±


    ¡°No! Not them!¡±


    ¡°They weren¡¯t humanoid creatures,¡± Tong Guan shook his head, ¡°We aren¡¯t sure if they are indigenous lifeforms of the World within Worlds or not. Their individual strength isn¡¯t too strong, probably at most level 18 or 19, but their numbers are astonishingly vast, almost like a tide¡­ The three of us had to flee in haste, Belo was the slowest, and in the act of covering us, was outright overwhelmed by the massive numbers of Alien Race lifeforms, ultimately dying at the bottom of the valley.¡±


    ¡°The two of us, in a frantic escape, finally made it out.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, these Alien Race lifeforms seem to reside habitually at the bottom of the valley, and when we rushed out, they didn¡¯t follow and surge out after us.¡±


    Toward the end,


    Tong Guan and the Martial Artists behind him all had a darkened look in their eyes.


    So far, the World within Worlds operation had already brought significant casualties to the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side.


    ¡°Sigh.¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed, turning his head to look at Alicia and the two others, ¡°Si Feng, Alicia, have you two entered to investigate?¡±


    ¡°We haven¡¯t had the chance yet,¡± Alicia said somberly, ¡°We arrived just a little before you did.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very strange,¡± Alicia frowned, ¡°Logically, with such a large Divine Crystal vein, the Blazing Flame Family should have been able to detect it in their exploration of the World within Worlds for over a hundred years, but they never did¡­ A 500-kilometer area in the World within Worlds isn¡¯t that vast.¡±


    ¡°If it was obstructed from mining by a large number of indigenous life¡­ yet the intelligence provided by the Blazing Flame Family never mentioned this aspect.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as if,¡±


    ¡°This Divine Crystal vein had only come into existence not long ago,¡± Alicia reached her own conclusion.


    Li Yuan appeared thoughtful. Under normal circumstances, for a Divine Crystal vein to form, it required long ages of gestation.


    ¡°Exactly.¡±


    Si Feng, equally burly, spoke seriously, ¡°Li Yuan, I suspect that the entire World within Worlds has always been shrouded in an invisible will, as if we are all under surveillance.¡±


    ¡°This is a divine relic site. If there is an invisible rule looming, it¡¯s quite normal,¡± Li Yuan mused aloud.


    The interconnected palatial complexes and other man-made traces near the entrance and exit of the passage had already said it all.


    Li Yuan was aware of this.


    He believed that any Prime Warrior who spent enough time here would also have such a feeling.


    ¡°I will go down alone to take a look, you all stay here,¡± Li Yuan instructed.


    ¡°Should we go down with you?¡± Alicia couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°No need,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Even if I encounter some danger, escaping by myself will be much easier.¡±


    Li Yuan asked himself.


    If the ¡®Alien Race lifeforms¡¯ at the bottom of the valley couldn¡¯t kill even an early Prime Warrior¡­ the likelihood of them posing a threat to his life should be low.


    ¡°Should we report upwards?¡± Si Feng could not help but ask.


    ¡°You can report, but the decision is ours to make,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m going down.¡±


    ¡°`


    Phew! S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a single movement, Li Yuan was fully enveloped in his Origin Power Battle Suit, with a layer of earthy yellow energy flowing faintly around his body.


    Boom! He followed the mountain wall, rapidly descending into the depths of the canyon.


    ¡°Such impressive speed.¡±


    ¡°Is this Number 0001?¡± The several ordinary Prime Warriors were astounded and felt much more at ease.


    Having such a strong Prime Warrior leader, it would be much easier to take over the entire World within Worlds.


    ¡°Level 22, can strength and speed be this powerful?¡± Si Feng was somewhat surprised, as he was unaware of Li Yuan¡¯s one-time transformation to level 22 as a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Has he reached level 24?¡± Only Alicia understood everything.


    ¡°His improvement is so rapid.¡±


    ¡°Alicia, I estimate his physical quality has probably reached 23.5,¡± a childlike voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°You need to think of a way¡­ If you can get a Divine Crystal, it would be greatly beneficial to you.¡±


    ¡°No rush, just wait,¡± Alicia responded, a hint of worry surfacing in her heart.


    She felt both admiration and gratitude toward Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Descending swiftly along the dry canyon, Li Yuan rapidly plummeted, and the already dim light quickly turned darker.


    ¡°It feels like I¡¯m back in Flying Serpent Valley,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    The experience in Flying Serpent Valley was something he couldn¡¯t easily forget.


    The deeper he went, the broader the canyon walls became and the dimmer the light grew.


    It was as if he had entered another layer of the underground world.


    ¡°Could it be that the Blazing Flame Family truly never discovered this place?¡± A trace of doubt emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Was there really an invisible hand constantly changing the structure of the entire World within Worlds? Or did the Blazing Flame Family have some reason to conceal certain key information?


    With Divine Sense sweeping through, Li Yuan remained vigilant, fearing an ambush.


    After descending more than three kilometers, Li Yuan finally reached the bottom of the canyon. When his feet touched the rocky ground again, he had still not encountered an attack.


    The bottom of the canyon was almost in complete darkness, ordinary people here would be as blind as bats¡­ but with Li Yuan¡¯s extraordinary physical quality, he could barely make out his surroundings.


    Critically, it was his powerful spiritual power that made his perception sharp to the extreme.


    ¡°The aura of energy stones,¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and activated the three Star Meridians within his body.


    Energy stones, a type of high-energy density power stone, did not have a high value individually¡­ but their vast number and extensive applications made them very valuable.


    Standing at the ¡®mining site node convergence¡¯ Tong Guan mentioned, Li Yuan could clearly sense the air filled with the scent of Origin Power.


    ¡°The concentration is thicker over here,¡± Li Yuan vaguely sensed that the left side seemed denser.


    He moved forward.


    Step by step, the closer he got, the more intensely he could feel the concentration of Origin Power through his strong spiritual power.


    He was going in the right direction.


    In a blink, he had advanced nearly a kilometer, going deeper into the slanted base of the canyon, and Li Yuan also noticed another anomaly¡ªthe bottom of the canyon was very smooth.


    As if it had been polished by human hands.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Sss! Sss! Sss!¡± A series of dense and rapid sounds came from the quiet and dark canyon, followed by a faint tremor of the ground, prompting Li Yuan to stop.


    Phew! The Black Chen Spear was already in his hand.


    Rapidly.


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Rumble~¡± The sounds grew louder and more pronounced from all directions.


    Finally, Li Yuan¡¯s eyes observed in the darkness, combined with Divine Sense sweeping through¡­ creatures resembling black rats surged from every direction, swarming over him.


    A torrential wave, an absolutely hair-raising scene.


    They, without any hesitation, charged crazily towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    At the moment these black creatures approached, he had already employed Divine Palace Inquiry.


    ¡°[Target is level 15.1, no life signs, cannot be killed for Spiritual Nature nutrients]¡±


    ¡°[Target is level 15.3¡­]¡± A series of prompts flashed past, with results beyond his expectations.


    No life signs?


    ¡°So many.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he immediately activated the Sea of Source Energy within his body, with earthy yellow Origin Power illuminating, channeling into both the Origin Power Battle Suit and the Black Chen Spear.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    The Long Spear swung, and with the enhancement of Origin Power, it instantly burst forth like lengths of dazzling starlight, converging like a river of stars, striking at the tide-like surge of the black creatures.


    Pshht! ¡°Pop!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    The screeching black creatures either exploded upon impact, as if striking a steel plate, or were instantly swept away like cannonballs, crashing into more of their kind.


    In the blink of an eye, at least a hundred black creatures had been slain by Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°No mistake! It¡¯s the aura of Earth Origin Crystals!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes tensed, keenly catching a wave of Divine Crystal aura coming from afar.


    It seemed, not too far away.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan was enveloped in endless Spear Light, himself like an indestructible miniature star, sweeping away all the black creatures as he moved towards the source of the sensation.

    Chapter 342: Chapter 242 Hope for the Perfection of the Supreme Star Technique! Battle! (Extra 33, 34)


    These black exotic beasts had no signs of life, but they were no different from real creatures.


    Their appearance was similar to rats, with bodies the size of cats, and their strength generally ranged around level 15 or 16.


    The stronger ones could reach around level 18, but there were very few of such elites.


    Individually, their strength was far inferior to that of a Prime Warrior, but they had the advantage of terrifying numbers, swarming like a torrent, possibly in the thousands.


    If an ordinary Prime Warrior didn¡¯t break out immediately, once they were encircled, they would be devoured in the blink of an eye.


    What a pity!


    They had encountered Li Yuan, and the present Li Yuan was indeed terrifyingly powerful.


    With a physical quality of 23.7 levels, combined with the True Intent Killing Move, ¡°Star River Whirlwind,¡± the strength he exploded with was simply horrifying.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Countless black exotic beasts collided and subsequently died in groups, blood flowing like rivers¡­ yet they couldn¡¯t stop Li Yuan¡¯s advance, who moved hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.


    No one knew how many black exotic beasts died under the Black Chen Spear.


    ¡°What a pity, these fellows have no life signs,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°Otherwise, my Spiritual Awakening Level could definitely have risen to 40%.¡±


    But it wasn¡¯t completely fruitless.


    ¡°Just up ahead.¡± Li Yuan had already truly sensed it with his powerful spiritual power.


    Right up ahead!


    It was the energy fluctuation of an Earth Origin Crystal¡ªthe strange and mysterious aura, something Li Yuan would never forget in his lifetime.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes focused, and his Long Spear danced like lightning, the spear tip bursting with cold gleam, resembling starlight bursting forth, containing terrifying might.


    He thrust straight toward what was in front of him.


    The next moment.


    ¡°Howl~~¡± A piercing howl followed as a huge, nearly one meter tall black exotic beast burst forth from the multitude of beasts like lightning, brandishing its sharp claws, trying to withstand the blow from the black Long Spear.


    The two forces collided in an instant.


    At the moment of collision!


    ¡°Roar~~¡± A flicker of panic crossed the eyes of the exotic beast leader, who felt a terrifying force instantly charging through its tough skin, comparable to an Origin Power Battle Suit. Although the force couldn¡¯t tear its skin,


    more than half of that terrifying force penetrated its skin, impacting every part of its bones and flesh.


    It was as if a person was hit by a stick right in the chest. It seemed like the skin wasn¡¯t broken, but in reality, the internal organs were all shattered¡­ The exotic beast leader was the same, blood oozing from the corner of its mouth.


    Too terrifying.


    ¡°Sizzle! Sizz~¡± The exotic beast leader, like a streak of black light, was sent flying backward, trying to flee.


    ¡°Flee?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes turned cold.


    With his Divine Sense, he had already completely locked onto the exotic beast leader. His figure burst forth with no reservation, as the Vigor throughout his body fully unleashed.


    Nearly 500,000 kilograms of Explosive Power!


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s legs forcefully propelled him forward, his terrifying power causing the ground to fracture layer by layer. In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, he moved with a speed surpassing 260 meters per second.


    Whoosh! His Long Spear swept across, and a swath of black exotic beasts exploded into pieces.


    Turning into a sky of blood mist.


    The final spear thrust pierced the Vast Sky, like lightning stabbing through, instantly going through the body of the beast leader that was fleeing in mid-air, entering from the rear.


    Piercing the heart and exiting out the throat!


    The exotic beast leader was dead!


    In an instant.


    The vast number of black exotic beasts that were still howling and charging at Li Yuan like a tide suddenly stopped.


    ¡°Splurt~¡± With a twist of the spear, Li Yuan completely crushed the internal organs of the beast leader, then withdrew his Long Spear with lightning speed. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Thump~¡±


    The massive body of the beast leader fell to the ground with a heavy thud, and after a brief two seconds of silence,


    in the face of their leader¡¯s death, the thousands of black exotic beasts fled in all directions like a receding tide.


    Li Yuan did not stop them.


    Killing these black exotic beasts conferred no benefits as they weren¡¯t even living beings¡­ who knew what they were.


    Unable to obtain Spiritual Nutrients, why bother fighting to the death?


    You should know that despite Li Yuan¡¯s seemingly unstoppable and violent combat, the consumption of Origin Power was also incredibly high.


    ¡°If I can save some strength, I will. Who knows if there will be more dangers ahead,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Though very confident in his own strength, Li Yuan adhered to the idea that ¡°caution is the parent of safety,¡± never daring to be careless in the slightest.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    With the retreat of the numerous black exotic beasts, nothing could stop Li Yuan anymore¡­ He proceeded on his way, marching several kilometers in the darkness, the path narrowing on both sides as if entering a cave.


    Complete darkness!


    Li Yuan could no longer rely on his eyes to see and had to depend on his ¡°Divine Sense¡± for detection.


    The ground was still flat; by now, Li Yuan was almost certain that this gorge¡¯s bottom was man-made.


    Finally.


    In the midst of the darkness, Li Yuan suddenly stopped. He had reached the end¡­ Through his Divine Sense, he detected a huge stone wall in front of him.


    No! To be more precise, it was a stone gate about ten meters high.


    ¡°Is this?¡± Li Yuan was shocked: ¡°Could this so-called large vein of Divine Crystals actually be an artificial relic?¡±


    It was puzzling.


    Despite having reviewed many records in the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s database, Li Yuan, being new to the role of a Prime Warrior, still had a limited world view.


    ¡°The aura of the Earth Origin Crystal is coming through the cracks in the stone gate,¡± Li Yuan was astonished, ¡°and yet, my Divine Sense cannot penetrate this stone gate?¡±


    Apparently impenetrable to Divine Sense despite the presence of cracks?


    This was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension.


    ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try,¡± Li Yuan said to himself. Having come this far, there was no turning back.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone gate, positioned his legs slightly bent, and then the muscles and bones throughout his body burst forth with power, muscles bulging and Origin Power erupting!

    Both sides had very little communication.


    Whether it was Mo Hu or Li Yuan, they had already ascertained each other¡¯s general strength through mutual intelligence clues and knew they were the strongest members of their opposing factions.


    This battle was destined to decide the victor!


    It would also determine life or death!


    Because, whether it was Li Yuan or Mo Hu, what they represented was not just themselves but also the civilizations behind them competing for the relics of the gods.


    Boom! Boom!


    The speed of both Prime Warriors erupted to an extremely horrifying degree within a very short time.


    Mo Hu¡¯s speed exceeded 250 meters per second, and Li Yuan¡¯s speed also surpassed 230 meters per second.


    The terrifying speeds turned them into streaks of lightning, shaking the earth beneath them, as countless small stones were blasted into the air.


    In just a few seconds.


    The two had already closed the distance completely.


    Heading straight for a collision.


    At this moment, the many Prime Warriors following behind them couldn¡¯t help but cast their eyes upon the two arrow-like figures.


    These Prime Warriors, even the stronger ones like Alicia, Si Feng, and Lei Wu, were very clear in their minds.


    The outcome between Li Yuan and Mo Hu was the key to this battle.


    ¡°Die, Semi Divine Level of the Seven Stars Civilization!¡± Mo Hu¡¯s gaze was ice-cold as he locked onto Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    A chilling flash of saber light, accompanied by a streak of flame, instantly spanned a hundred meters of the vast sky, aiming a strike straight at Li Yuan.


    Just witnessing this scene alone was enough to send chills down the spines of Kross, Alicia, and Si Feng.


    ¡°Too fast.¡±


    ¡°How can the saber be this fast without much disturbance in the air? How high must the skill level be, and how powerful the burst of strength?¡± Alicia¡¯s heart tightened, ¡°Can Li Yuan block it?¡±


    Boom!


    The saber light swept across the sky in an angry chop.


    ¡°Scram!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were just as cold. Without dodging, the Black Chen Spear in his hand suddenly thrust out, the shaft subtly spiraling, carrying a shocking force of distortion to collide head-on with the combat saber.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    The terrifying collision, the frightening blast of air, caused the surrounding area to burst with dust and small stones flying in all directions, with both parties hurtling backward.


    However, Li Yuan only retreated a little more than ten meters, with each step cracking the ground, leaving large pits with every footfall.


    Mo Hu, on the other hand, was blown back by twenty meters before finally dissipating the full impact of the blow, looking somewhat disheveled.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡± Tie Mu¡¯er and over ten other Prime Warriors felt their hearts skip a beat, somewhat in disbelief.


    In their minds, with Mo Hu¡¯s intervention, he was supposed to overwhelmingly defeat Li Yuan.


    In such a direct clash, it wasn¡¯t skill that was compared, but rather a pure eruption of power, yet Mo Hu was actually at a disadvantage?


    This could only mean that Li Yuan¡¯s true strength was significantly greater than Mo Hu¡¯s.


    ¡°Lei Wu! What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say the guy you fought had Physical Quality just over level 22?¡± Tie Mu¡¯er and the others couldn¡¯t help but turn to Lei Wu, ¡°How did you escape from him if he can put Mo Hu at a disadvantage?¡±


    ¡°How would I know!¡±


    Lei Wu was completely baffled, ¡°It was only half a day; how could his Physical Quality have soared this much?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that he hid his strength when he first fought me?¡± Lei Wu thought frantically.


    ¡­¡±Your Physical Quality is this impressive?¡± Mo Hu was also a bit shocked and blurted out in ¡®Seven Stars Language¡¯.


    He had thought that with his physical advantage, he could easily crush Li Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re not bad either,¡± replied Li Yuan coldly, speaking in ¡®Immortal Ruins Civilization Common Language¡¯.


    On their way here, Li Yuan and his group had taken the time to learn the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s common language.


    As beings at the Flying Heaven Level with souls, their learning capacity was incredibly strong, mastering at least some simple conversations wasn¡¯t difficult.


    And through the initial ¡®Divine Palace Inquiry¡¯, Li Yuan was very clear about Mo Hu¡¯s Physical Quality¡ª23.1 level.


    It was significantly weaker than his own.


    Therefore, out of caution, Li Yuan didn¡¯t go all out from the start, only revealing a Physical Quality of around level 23.3.


    Going all out wouldn¡¯t guarantee a one-hit kill anyway.


    Hence, killing the adversary by revealing only part of his strength, thereby preventing the backers of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom from knowing his full power, was the optimal solution.


    ¡°Good! Tell me your name. You¡¯re about to die by my saber, and you deserve to know my name,¡± Mo Hu said gravely, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you, my name is Mo Hu, the Semi Divine Level genius of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°The dead don¡¯t need to know my name,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was icy as his long spear thrust forward with a roar, swift as lightning.


    Telling the enemy his name?


    Li Yuan held no such interest; there was no need for chivalry and righteousness when dealing with an Alien Race.


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    ¡°Just a Semi Divine Level talent from a weak civilization,¡± grumbled Mo Hu, fully unleashing his power.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spear was fast, but Mo Hu¡¯s Sword Technique was even sharper and fiercer, and the two collided yet again, nearly as fast as lightning.


    Step by step, pressing hard!


    Feeling at a disadvantage in terms of Physical Quality, Mo Hu¡¯s swordplay immediately shifted from the fierce head-on approach to become soft and continuous, entwining Li Yuan¡¯s long spear, gaining ground inch by inch.


    Attempting to close the gap between himself and Li Yuan.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± The clash of their weapons rang out in rapid succession like lightning. Li Yuan kept retreating, maintaining the distance.


    Yet Mo Hu kept pressing forward.


    Despite Li Yuan possessing superior Physical Quality, Mo Hu relied on his powerful and crafty Sword Technique, seemingly still having the upper hand.


    ¡­Boom! Boom!


    Boom! In another area of the wilderness, Alicia, Si Feng, and the other four were already clashing with a large group of Prime Warriors led by Tie Mu¡¯er and Lei Wu.


    ¡°Stay with me,¡± Alicia sought out her old adversary, with sword light flowing like water, pouring onto Lei Wu. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She also kept unleashing Spiritual Shocks, forcing him to fight with all his might.

    The full-scale confrontation between the two camps was almost evenly matched.


    Although the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team had more members, most of them were just ordinary Prime Warriors¡­ They would find it difficult to be fully involved in such a battle of talents, where a slight misstep could mean death.


    The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side, on the other hand, had fewer people, but each one of them was an elite.


    ¡°Li Yuan is being delayed, and it seems he has no advantage,¡±


    ¡°Why do I feel at a disadvantage?¡±


    ¡°This alien race genius is truly powerful,¡± Kross, Bai Ya, and Xiong Ze felt a chill down their spines upon realizing this.


    If Li Yuan could win decisively, that would be for the best.


    At that point, with Li Yuan¡¯s strength, he could easily sweep through the rest of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team, and they all would benefit.


    ¡°Li Yuan is not using his full strength; he hasn¡¯t used his Spiritual Shock,¡± Alicia thought to himself calmly, knowing just how terrifying Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power was.


    ¡­


    Boom! Boom!


    The fierce battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu indeed showed no short-term hope of victory.


    ¡°This Mo Hu¡¯s mastery of techniques is indeed a lot better than mine, probably around 55% of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    This was very close to the technique level of a Fifth Stage High Rank, which was an exaggerated level of skill for a Prime Warrior who was a First Rank life form not long ago.


    Li Yuan? He was only at 42% of the Fifth Stage technique level now.


    In terms of physical quality, Li Yuan had an absolute advantage, but he was at a disadvantage in technique, so overall Li Yuan only had a slight upper hand.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Another terrifying slash of combat saber light streaked across the Vast Sky, sending Li Yuan flying backward, traveling several tens of meters before stomping heavily into the ground to stop his momentum.


    Clash after clash ensued.


    If the battle continued like this,


    Li Yuan would not be able to kill the opponent.


    ¡°I was thinking that with the advantage of my Burst Speed of the 23rd level, I could kill the opponent, but I didn¡¯t expect a monstrous genius to appear,¡± a thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind, followed immediately by the execution of the Spiritual Secret Technique ¡°Soul Shock.¡±


    The situation was critical; Bai Xing had already died in battle, and Li Yuan did not want anyone else to die.


    Besides, the Spiritual Secret Technique was something he had revealed many times before, so there was no harm in using it again now.


    Boom!


    The rolling and surging Spiritual Shock instantly assailed Mo Hu¡¯s inner world.


    However, such a fierce spiritual attack only made Mo Hu¡¯s body waver slightly before he instantly recovered to normal.


    Hahaha¡­ Your Spiritual Shock is indeed formidable, definitely of the Flying Heaven Level soul,¡± Mo Hu revealed a ferocious smile, ¡°But I have long known you possess a Flying Heaven Level soul, and I dared to come because I am confident that your move is useless against me.¡±


    In terms of spiritual power, Mo Hu was at the 29th level!


    He had also taken a Secret Treasure in advance, which could greatly condense his spiritual power in a short time¡­ all to guard against Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Shock.


    A Spiritual Shock, unless there is a vast gap between the two, is unlikely to have a significant impact.


    ¡°However, your strength is indeed formidable, worthy for me to use my full strength,¡± Mo Hu¡¯s eyes dead set on Li Yuan.


    Boom!!


    Mo Hu¡¯s vital aura suddenly changed, his body seemingly burning with visible flame light, and his aura became even more terrifying.


    Even Alicia, Bai Ya, and others in the distance felt the terrifying aura emanating from Mo Hu at this moment.


    He was like a primordial fierce beast.


    ¡°Star Technique!¡±


    ¡°It is a Star Technique!¡± Li Yuan confirmed instantly, frowning slightly, ¡°He has only recently become a Prime Warrior, how could he have cultivated a Star Technique so quickly?¡±


    Star Technique cultivation is generally a slow and arduous process.


    And Prime Warriors, mostly being frail, would only cultivate one or two Star Techniques¡­ otherwise, the outburst of a Star Technique would place an immense burden on the body, even causing it to collapse.


    But what Li Yuan did not know was that within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there were methods to rapidly cultivate a Star Technique to Minor Success.


    Many secretive methods and approaches on the path of cultivation, Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Remained unknown to Li Yuan, who was from a Fourth Level Civilization.


    Boom! With the Star Technique, Mo Hu¡¯s strength and speed increased dramatically, even slightly surpassing Li Yuan.


    And combined with a more exquisite technique than Li Yuan?


    Booming sounds spread as the ground tore apart, chunks of earth and boulders crumbled, and Li Yuan was beaten back step by step for a while.


    Every move was perilous.


    In a very short time, Li Yuan and Mo Hu have switched between offense and defense several times, and now Li Yuan has fallen into an absolute disadvantage.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to win!¡±


    ¡°Worthy of our Prince Mo Hu,¡± Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu, and the others brightened up, their fighting spirit soaring as they fought desperately against Alicia, Si Feng, and the others, trying to kill them as well.


    Seeing this, Alicia, Si Feng, and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.


    The strength displayed by Mo Hu exceeded their expectations¡­ once Li Yuan lost, they would all be left with only one way out: death.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Die!¡± Mo Hu bellowed.


    ¡°No choice then,¡±


    ¡°I had hoped to conceal some of my strength, to keep the power behind the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom guessing about my true combat power.¡± Although Li Yuan seemed in disarray, he was acutely aware: ¡°Well, since I can¡¯t hide it, I might as well unleash my full power! Sweep him aside with a decisive blow.¡±


    At that moment, the physical quality of level 23.7, enhanced by taking the Myriad Life Extension Fruit, erupted completely.


    ¡°Whoosh!!¡±


    He thrust with his spear.


    Tiny streams of vigor coursed through Li Yuan¡¯s body, his strength and speed suddenly surged, reaching a terrifying level, far surpassing what it had been before.


    ¡°What? So fast?¡± Mo Hu¡¯s face changed slightly, but he still swung his combat saber instinctively.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Another terrifying clash ensued, a horrendous roar echoing across the vast sky. Li Yuan didn¡¯t budge an inch, withstanding the impact completely. But from the terrifying collision, Mo Hu was sent flying backward dozens of meters.


    ¡°How is this possible? How can your physical quality be so strong?¡± Mo Hu found it hard to believe.


    He thought reaching level 23 so quickly was already incredibly exaggerated.


    What about Li Yuan?


    From that last head-on strike, the impression it gave him was no less than that of a level 24 Prime Warrior.


    ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure darted forward. Having chosen to erupt with full force, he showed no mercy. Combining his full burst strength, he unleashed his most powerful move¡ªStar River Whirl!


    He drew upon a vast amount of the power of heaven and earth!


    Going all out! His strongest strike!


    Why did Lei Wu think Li Yuan¡¯s skills were so high? Because what he saw was Li Yuan using a True Intent special move!


    Yes, Li Yuan¡¯s skill level was only at 42% of the Fifth Stage, but under the state of a True Intent special move, the terrifying force of heaven and earth he could draw upon was on par with 60% or even 70% of the Fifth Stage.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A dazzling spear light swept across.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s charge, the spear light streaked across a hundred meters of sky, fiercely hitting Mo Hu¡¯s combat saber.


    Whoosh! It sent Mo Hu flying completely.


    He tried his best but failed to block it.


    At that moment, Mo Hu¡¯s blood boiled, and after falling heavily to the ground, he was already injured.


    ¡°How can this be? He! He!¡±


    ¡°How can his Spear Technique suddenly become so powerful? The skill level he showed just now should have been weaker than mine.¡± Such a terrifying move completely dazed Mo Hu: ¡°Could it be? Could it be a True Intent special move? Impossible!¡±


    Several hundred meters away.


    ¡°What?¡± Engaged in fierce battle with Tie Mu¡¯er, Lei Wu and the others were also stunned.


    Mo Hu had been overwhelmingly strong just a moment ago, yet now he was on the back foot, followed by being swept away by Li Yuan¡¯s move?


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan! Li Yuan!¡± Alicia, Kross, Si Feng¡ªthey were shocked and delighted.


    Li Yuan, who was at a disadvantage just now, had suddenly burst forth to this extent.


    ¡°Demigod-level genius? It¡¯s nothing!¡±


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan said coldly, his figure like lightning, his Spear Technique continuous, sweeping through the sky and enveloping Mo Hu.


    He intended to kill him completely.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°If this continues, relying on the strength of this Seven Star Civilization genius, he will definitely be able to kill me.¡± Mo Hu realized this instantly, and like lightning, started to flee backward.


    He was running for his life.


    ¡°You think you can escape?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, and he pursued like lightning.


    In terms of Burst Speed, Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality was on a whole other level, naturally more terrifying.


    ¡°Pff!¡±


    The Long Spear whooshed as it stabbed, causing Mo Hu to grit his teeth, suddenly turn around, and furiously slash with his combat saber to defend.


    ¡°Clang!¡± As soon as they collided, the force contained in Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear transformed into a bursting energy, almost wrenching Mo Hu¡¯s combat saber from his grasp, shaking his grip, and sending him reeling back once again.

    ¡°Where is Li Yuan going?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t we kill all the enemies?¡±


    ¡°Not sure.¡± Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Bai Ya all gathered around, watching Li Yuan flying off into the distance with curiosity and puzzlement.


    ¡°Stop asking.¡±


    Alicia said in a low voice, ¡°You all saw Li Yuan¡¯s strength just now, far above us¡­ even a Semi Divine Level genius of the Immortal Ruins Civilization died by his hand.¡±


    ¡°And the defeat was decisive.¡±


    ¡°Since he suddenly left, there must be a reason, why ask more.¡± Alicia¡¯s gaze swept over the others, ¡°The situation is initially settled, we just need to do our own business.¡± S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s clean up the battlefield quickly.¡± Si Feng and Kross all nodded without hesitation.


    After a series of great battles, except for the deceased Bai Xing, the rest were vaguely divided into the strong and the weak.


    Strength determines status.


    Li Yuan, of course, was the undisputed top, so when he issued an order, everyone would follow.


    The victories brought about by strong power naturally convinced people.


    The one second only to Li Yuan was Alicia.


    ¡°After cleaning up the battlefield, take charge of different groups of people and continue to clean up and explore the entire World within Worlds.¡± Alicia said, ¡°No objections, right?¡±


    ¡°No objections.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s start cleaning.¡± Xiong Ze and Kross declared.


    ¡°What about the Relic Divine Palace?¡± Si Feng raised a question.


    He pointed to the continuous palace complex shrouded in a mysterious glow in the distance, and the others couldn¡¯t help but look at Alicia.


    ¡°No need to rush.¡±


    ¡°We are tasked with protecting Lin Lanyue, but since she is in the Relic Divine Palace¡­ we can¡¯t save her even if we wanted to, rashly entering would only put ourselves in danger.¡± Alicia mused, ¡°Now we have basically cleared the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s team, since even their Semi Divine Level genius is dead, they should find it difficult to fight again.¡±


    ¡°Thus, as long as Lin Lanyue can come out alive, she won¡¯t encounter the ambush from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom like before.¡±


    All nodded in agreement.


    Save Lin Lanyue? In fact, once it was confirmed that Lin Lanyue was truly in the Relic Divine Palace, others, including Li Yuan, would find it hard to help her.


    This fact was clear to the higher-ups of the alliance and the Blazing Flame Family.


    The so-called saving was actually, if she could come out alive from the Relic Divine Palace, to protect her from being killed by the powerhouses of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    But whether she could come back alive depended on her.


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°This Relic Divine Palace contains major secrets, I know you all have your plans.¡± Alicia¡¯s gaze swept over everyone, ¡°The opportunities contained within the Divine relics are indeed unpredictable¡­ everyone wants it.¡±


    ¡°But we¡¯ve been in the World within Worlds for less than two days, the situation is not yet stable, and the Relic Divine Palace is fraught with dangers¡­ My personal suggestion is to wait for Li Yuan to return, and make sure there are no strong warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom within the World within Worlds, then we can discuss how to tackle it.¡± Alicia said.


    ¡°Yeah, that sounds reasonable.¡±


    ¡°No need to rush, according to information from the Blazing Flame Family, we should be able to stay in the World within Worlds for a year¡­ it¡¯s only been two days.¡± The rest nodded in agreement.


    Soon, several Prime Warrior geniuses dispersed.


    They began to get busy.


    ¡°Alicia, should we really wait for Li Yuan to come back? We could totally try to break into the ruins first.¡± A childish voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°The Five Elements Divine Crystals from the veins, you get none, and Li Yuan hasn¡¯t revealed any bit of information till now.¡±


    ¡°If Li Yuan takes away all the inheritance from these ruins, our efforts will have been for nothing.¡±


    ¡°Are you confident?¡± Alicia responded.


    ¡°I am confident!!¡± The childlike voice raised its pitch by three notches, a hint of excitement in the tone, ¡°I sensed it just now, clearly¡­ the force that annihilated that Semi Divine Level genius ¡®Mo Hu¡¯ was the power of the world, indicating that the essence of the World within Worlds is still operational.¡±


    ¡°It means that the rules set by that deity are still in existence.¡±


    ¡°And looking at the various rules in the World within Worlds¡­ this place was probably a training ground for the deity¡¯s descendants in the past, and there should be an inheritance left behind.¡± The childlike voice stated assertively, ¡°I am ninety-nine percent sure.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not asking if there¡¯s an inheritance. Anyone could guess the Relic Divine Palace holds treasures, not to mention, the rise of the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s original ancestor ¡®Demigod of Flame City¡¯ was certainly related to this World within Worlds.¡± Alicia frowned, responding, ¡°I¡¯m asking if you are absolutely confident that you can obtain the inheritance?¡±


    The childlike voice instantly lost its spark.


    Absolute confidence in obtaining the inheritance? He had none.


    But in his view, since they had to compete, they should strive to be a step ahead, to seize the initiative.


    ¡°Then what¡¯s your plan?¡± the childlike voice asked.


    ¡°No hurry.¡± Alicia shook her head, ¡°Since generation after generation of the Blazing Flame Family have been able to break through and benefit¡­ it probably wouldn¡¯t hurt for us to enter later.¡±


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    Bursting forth with all his might, Li Yuan sprinted away, covering over thirty kilometers in just a few minutes.


    He made sure to leave Alicia, Si Feng, and the others far behind, with no one following.


    Li Yuan then returned directly to the edge of the canyon at the core of the vein.


    But he did not disturb Tong Guan and the others.


    Instead, he found a secluded spot at the end of the canyon and directly entered.


    He stopped at an inconspicuous indent in the mountain wall, hardly noticeable, and then settled down cross-legged.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Li Yuan focused and calmed his mind, his thoughts moved, and he completely released the suppression over the Sea of Source Energy and the three Star Meridians.


    Hum~


    At that moment, Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power allowed him to clearly sense that from the second floor of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, a continuous flow of golden mist was cascading down, this golden mist settling upon the first floor¡¯s ground inside the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Once merged into the ground.


    Hiss~ Hiss~ Li Yuan could clearly sense that a stream of bizarre power was penetrating every part of his body from his head, this bizarre power being the key to transforming his Physical Quality and spiritual power every time.

    But the effect of Origin Power infusion seemed to become more exaggerated with each use.


    ¡°After the fourth infusion of Origin Power, I wonder how effective it will be,¡± Li Yuan thought expectantly, ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to break through to level 25.¡±


    If he could advance from level 23.7 to 25, his basic fist strength would increase by over 60,000 kilograms.


    ¡°Booming sound~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s three star meridians operated simultaneously, and the surging, pure Origin Power coursed into a part of his body¡¯s muscles and blood.


    The next moment.


    After merging with the golden mist that transformed into strange energy, the numerous cells in Li Yuan¡¯s body, which had already been ¡®satiated,¡¯ seemed to break free from some invisible shackles, suddenly becoming extremely ¡®hungry,¡¯ and began to crazily absorb Origin Power.


    Booming sound~


    Li Yuan felt his whole body beginning to tremble wildly, flesh, skin, and hair, bones, periosteum, internal organs¡­ all started to undergo continuous transformation.


    This was a comprehensive evolution and upgrade.


    ¡°However, it¡¯s not as comfortable as the Myriad Life Extension Fruit,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°The transformation brought by the Myriad Life Extension Fruit is quite pleasant.¡±


    In contrast, Origin Power infusion was extremely domineering, causing the muscles and bones to reorganize, which was actually quite painful, but Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power and willpower were strong enough to easily endure it.


    ¡°[Your life level has increased from 23.7 to 23.8]¡±


    ¡°[Your strength, from¡­]¡± Time passed, as Li Yuan¡¯s life level continued to rise, alerts flashed across the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡°¡­spiritual power.¡± Most of Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness focused on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and his consciousness came to the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Rustling~


    In the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan¡¯s conscious body ¡®watched¡¯ the golden mist continually being generated in the palace¡¯s void.


    ¡°Last time during the Origin Power infusion, I guessed that some essence of them turned into spiritual nourishment; otherwise, I can¡¯t explain why the effects of Origin Power infusion are growing stronger each time,¡± Li Yuan pondered privately, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it is still just speculation, not yet verified.¡±


    But Li Yuan believed that as he grew stronger, he would eventually unlock all the secrets.


    ¡°Continue to enhance spiritual power.¡± As soon as Li Yuan¡¯s conscious body willed it, a portion of the vast amount of golden mist born in the void of the palace separated.


    It directly merged into Li Yuan¡¯s conscious body.


    Booming sound~ The strands of golden mist seemed to have an invisible magic power, making Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness feel groggy. In an instant, his conscious body wobbled and found itself in the Starry Sky Life Level space, already glowing dimly.


    Three indistinct star belts, one quite bright, the other two immensely faint, interspersed against the endless night sky¡­ were the three star meridians that Li Yuan had awakened.


    Their existence added much vitality to the originally dark Life Star space.


    Rustling~


    Strands of strange starlight, transformed from the golden mist, ¡®shined¡¯ from the depths of the Life Star space, starting to nourish Li Yuan¡¯s mental consciousness.


    After a long time.


    ¡°[Your soul has been nourished, your spiritual power has increased from 31.8 to 31.9]¡± Clearly, after reaching the Flying Heaven level, each increase in spiritual power was extremely difficult.


    Overall, though,


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality and spiritual power were growing at a terrifying pace, absolutely top-notch among the many geniuses of various civilizations.


    ¡°Life Star space.¡±


    ¡°Awaken the Life Star.¡± As Li Yuan felt his spiritual power and physical quality continuously transform, and considering it had been several days since he last awakened a Life Star, his mind moved, and he immediately concentrated, attempting to imprint more ¡®Life Stars.¡¯


    The path of Law Creation must continue.


    ¡°`


    You can¡¯t just rely on spiritual guidance.


    After all, my current level of spiritual awakening has only reached 40%, still far from the required 50% for the next guidance¡­ I have no idea when I¡¯ll be able to unlock the limit.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness slightly expanded and immediately noticed the changes in the countless ¡®life stars¡¯ within the starry space of life.


    ¡°In these past few days, the transformation of my physical quality seems to have nourished the life stars, making numerous life stars grow stronger,¡± Li Yuan rejoiced internally, ¡°As the life stars strengthen, my spiritual power perception will become easier too.¡±


    At this moment, Li Yuan had come to understand why many classics mention that a large number of top-grade prime warriors were able to awaken four or five star meridians.


    It¡¯s about the foundation!


    ¡°With stronger spiritual power, the perception of the body and the fluctuations of the heavens and the earth will be clearer, ensuring that a flying heaven level soul could definitely reach fifth stage skills,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Similarly, the increase in physical quality is also the foundation for the awakening of life stars.¡±


    ¡°The stronger the body, the stronger the life stars, the clearer the perception¡­ the higher the hopes of awakening a life star.¡±


    Hum~ Hum~


    While receiving origin power into his body, Li Yuan used his spiritual awareness to sense the life stars, searching for traces of the life star.


    For a moment, his efficiency in awakening life stars was more than ten times that of the past.


    ¡­


    Before he realized it, nearly two hours passed, and Li Yuan¡¯s fourth session of absorbing origin power was not yet over.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Hum~ Almost simultaneously, two invisible fluctuations erupted from Li Yuan as the core, his body subtly trembling.


    Whoosh~ Visible to the naked eye, tens of thousands of light points appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s body surface, converging into threads, channeling into the sea of source energy in his abdomen¡­ another star meridian was awakened.


    ¡°The fourth star meridian has awakened?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling quite delighted, ¡°Moreover, the second star meridian has successfully transformed from the first layer to the second layer.¡±


    This was a breakthrough achieved in an extremely short amount of time.


    While the quantity of star meridians is important, their quality is equally crucial.


    ¡°Foundation!¡±


    ¡°Hmm, my physical quality is now at level 24.3,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, ¡°The stronger the foundation, the faster I will awaken life stars.¡±


    Li Yuan was very patient.


    This step-by-step process of feeling one¡¯s body and soul transform and strengthen, despite being somewhat painful, could also bring heartfelt joy.


    ¡­


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, known as the most powerful among human Seven Star Civilizations, is vast and mighty¡­ Yet the whole civilization isn¡¯t monolithic but divided into many divine kingdoms and sects.


    In the multitude of divine kingdoms and sects within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is an inconspicuous one.


    While Li Yuan was in seclusion, strengthening and transforming his abilities.


    The deaths of Mo Hu, Lei Wu, and others eventually reached Mintian City in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    This place is the core territory of Lord Mintian Hou.


    Above the city, numerous flying vehicles come and go, along with floating super-large starry sky warships¡­ The city is bustling with prosperity.


    And on the east side of the city, within a complex of special high-rise buildings.


    In an ultra-large conference room.


    ¡°A bunch of useless trash!!¡±


    ¡°Useless,¡± an enraged voice echoed throughout the conference room, ¡°So many people dead, nearly a complete massacre, and even Mo Hu is dead.¡±


    ¡°And what, you tell me you don¡¯t even know who killed Mo Hu.¡±


    ¡°Seven Stars human? Of course I know the killer is a Seven Stars human! As if it could be an Eight Stars being!¡±

    Chapter 352: Chapter 246: Mintian Hou¡¯s Rage! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)


    The oversized conference room was silent.


    Dozens of people stood respectfully there, each with their heads bowed, silent as cicadas in winter, listening to the roar of the tall figure at the end of the room, not daring to make any sound.


    At the end of the conference room.


    There sat a burly figure clad in purple armor, like a War God, who, even while sitting, was close to two meters tall, especially those eyes, which glowed blood-red, making people tremble.


    However, what was most unique was the dark red horn on top of his head, sharp as if to pierce the heavens, making his aura even more domineering.


    That was Mintian Hou.


    The ruler of over a hundred million citizens of Mintian City, whose single command could result in the beheadings of thousands.


    He was also truly at the top of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s ruling hierarchy, his power overwhelming.


    The system of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was completely different from that of the Seven Star human civilization.


    The latter, even for commoners, had certain rights¡­ by law, even the powerful Demigods could not massacre commoners at will, the entire civilization was relatively tranquil overall.


    But in Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, it was a mishmash of many races, fairly chaotic.


    Demigods towered above, with astonishing power, possessing the real authority of life and death over most of their subordinate territories, wanton slaughter was a minor matter.


    Unless!


    You revealed extremely high value¡ªlike certain research personnel of amazing worth, or those with astonishing Martial Path talents.


    Like ¡®Mo Hu¡¯!


    ¡°With my domain being only so large, is it easy to give birth to a Semi-Divine Level Genius?¡± Mintian Hou was extremely angry when he first received the news of Mo Hu¡¯s death.


    Once deemed a Semi-Divine Level Genius, they were to be beyond his control.


    To persuade Mo Hu to come, he had used a mix of coercion and inducement.


    All for the sake of contending for the treasures of World within Worlds.


    Now that Mo Hu was dead, it would not have much impact on him, but it would certainly incite other Demigod elders of the Divine Kingdom to challenge and question him.


    ¡°Investigate!¡±


    ¡°Based on the last messages sent back by Mo Hu, Tie Mu¡¯er, and Lei Wu before their deaths, find a way for me to investigate,¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°Find out exactly who that genius from Seven Star Civilization is.¡±


    ¡°If necessary, contact Tianliang Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, they have the deepest infiltration into Seven Star Civilization, and they must have many detailed reports.¡±


    ¡°I do not wish to summon you next time and still be met with an ¡®I don¡¯t know,''¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s cold gaze swept over several figures.


    ¡°Understood,¡± several heads of the External Surveillance Department bowed their heads.


    They understood that if they managed to investigate clearly, there would still be room for recovery¡­ but if they failed to investigate, dismissal was the lightest consequence.


    Quickly, several heads of the External Surveillance Department left.


    ¡°What do you think, do you have any better ideas regarding this World within Worlds?¡± Mintian Hou said indifferently.


    The bowed heads looked at each other.


    Several seconds later.


    ¡°My lord, since Prince Mo Hu died, it was because his strength wasn¡¯t strong enough. Why don¡¯t we invite a ¡®Divine Child Level Genius¡¯ from the Divine Kingdom¡­¡± a man in red robes cautiously began.


    ¡°Pong~¡±


    With a sweep of Mintian Hou¡¯s hand, an invisible force cut through the air, harshly slapping the man in the red robes and sending him flying before he crashed onto the ground.


    ¡°A Divine Child Level Genius?¡±


    ¡°How many Divine Child Level Geniuses are there in the entire Divine Kingdom?¡± Mintian Hou snorted coldly, ¡°Those who are still First Rank¡­ not a single one. If we were to invite one, would I have to go to other Divine Kingdoms to ask?¡±


    ¡°What price would we have to pay?¡±


    Everyone kept silent.


    A Semi-Divine Level Genius merely meant that they had the potential for demigodhood. The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom often produced several such individuals each year¡­ the actual total number was not small.


    But a Divine Child Level Genius? That was recognized as a top-tier talent who, if allowed to grow, was certain to become a Demigod. It might take many years for the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to give rise to just one.


    What could they do?


    All these department heads were contemplating.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°My lord, from the current situation, it seems that the Seven Star Civilization must have sent a terrifying genius. Direct contention in World within Worlds is extremely difficult,¡± a black-robed figure said in a low voice, ¡°but we can totally take a different approach.¡±


    ¡°Speak,¡± Mintian Hou looked toward the black-robed figure.


    ¡°According to the rules we have ascertained, Second Rank Life Forms probably cannot stay in World within Worlds for long,¡± the black-robed figure said, ¡°We don¡¯t need to fight over temporary control, we just need to delay for some time, wait for that terrifying genius to leave¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Foolish!¡±


    Mintian Hou shook his head, ¡°In the past, the ones in control of this divine relic were just a Demigod family from Seven Star Civilization, they had limited resources, and the talents they dispatched had their limits¡­ but now in charge is the sovereign of Seven Star Civilization, the resources they can mobilize are beyond your imagination.¡±


    ¡°If we give them time, they might completely discover and guard every exit.¡±


    ¡°At that time, even if we do invite a Semi-Divine Level Genius¡­ just having stepped into 19th level, they might directly encounter a swarm of Prime Warriors.¡±


    ¡°The most important point.¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Civilization, next, will certainly continue to send their civilization¡¯s top geniuses into the Divine Palace ruins, maybe they will gain all the treasures at any time,¡± Mintian Hou said coldly, ¡°We must compete, we cannot delay.¡±


    Mintian Hou saw things very clearly.


    But those under him were now plagued with a headache, unable to invite a Divine Child Level Genius, yet still needing to compete? Wasn¡¯t that simply sending themselves to death?


    ¡°My lord, then let¡¯s compete from the outside,¡± another voice suggested, ¡°Rather than fighting internally, it¡¯s better to directly break the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s War Fortress in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.¡±

    ¡°Take over their channel directly.¡±


    ¡°By then, once we control both channels, everything will be in our hands,¡± the speaker was a woman dressed in purple robes. ¡°But this plan isn¡¯t just about a contest of geniuses¡­ it¡¯s about waging a full-scale war with the entire Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that our fiefdom¡¯s power alone might find it difficult to prevail,¡± the woman in purple robes said respectfully.


    ¡°A full-scale war?¡± Mintian Hou fell deep into thought, a hint of hesitation flashing through his mind.


    If only his forces were involved in the struggle, then should they win, they would reap all the benefits.


    Once other demigods from the Divine Kingdom were brought into the fold, even the entire upper echelons, the forces that could be mobilized would certainly be much stronger, but the benefits he could obtain¡­ would also be substantially reduced.


    After a long period of contemplation.


    ¡°Go, call for Jin Heng,¡± Mintian Hou suddenly spoke.


    With those words, everyone present understood Mintian Hou¡¯s thoughts¡ªfull-scale warfare.


    Because Jin Heng was the most powerful Prime Warrior under Mintian Hou¡¯s command, with a grand reputation.


    Shortly after.


    All left the conference room, leaving Mintian Hou sitting there alone.


    He had already contacted several demigod friends.


    ¡°Four demigods mobilizing their forces, giving their all.¡±


    ¡°Gathering a group of powerful Prime Warriors, even directly advancing to the Flying Heaven Level in the Fierce Feather Star Realm to unleash the strongest combat power,¡± Mintian Hou tapped on the armrest, the crisp sound of his fingertips hitting the armrest echoing in the conference room as he silently pondered, ¡°That should be enough.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°A treasure so vast within the dimensional plane, located above so many converging dimensional nodes, which civilization wouldn¡¯t desire to invade it?¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is indeed formidable, but he has been in a standoff with the Myriad Demons Civilization for a long time¡­ It¡¯s impossible for him to deploy his civilization¡¯s entire strength to compete with me,¡± Mintian Hou was convinced of one thing.


    He knew how terrifying Dongfang Ji was, and the true foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But because he understood, he dared to compete.


    ¡°If we go to full-scale war and fail.¡±


    ¡°At worst, I¡¯ll report up to the clan,¡± a hint of coldness flashed in Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes.


    He hailed from a terrifyingly powerful clan within the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with profound backing. That was why he could act so unbridled within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Boom!


    Mintian Hou stood up, his body clad in purple combat armor. Thin strands of purple flames flickered and burned, emitting an aura of extreme terror.


    ¡°The Path of Law.¡±


    ¡°The legacy of a Fire System Divine, containing treasures that might allow me to truly take that step toward becoming a god,¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes filled with endless longing.


    The relics left by a Fire System Divine were worth all his gambles.


    If he could obtain them, then he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to sacrifice the hundreds of millions of subjects in his fiefdom. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    When Mintian Hou of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom made his choice.


    The news about the battle between Li Yuan and Mo Hu had also reached the warbase in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom actually sent a Semi Divine Level genius?¡± When Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others received this news, they were all startled.


    Then came the news that both shocked and thrilled them.


    ¡°Won?¡±


    ¡°The Semi Divine Level genius Mo Hu? Killed outright by Li Yuan, and didn¡¯t even have a chance to flee to the Relic Divine Palace?¡± Abbott and Wu Manong were somewhat stunned.


    The four of them, who were dispatched here, were capable of fighting beyond their level against Flying Heaven Warriors. They had high status and a broad view; facing the Immortal Ruins Civilization, they naturally had a grasp of the many systems within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    They understood the significance of a Semi Divine Level genius.


    ¡°At First Rank, we might have had no chance of winning.¡±


    ¡°Yes, in terms of talent, we may not be weaker than the ¡®Semi Divine Level genius¡¯ sent by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, but they can mobilize more resources¡­ If we were in Li Yuan¡¯s place, we wouldn¡¯t compare,¡± Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe expressed their admiration with sighs.


    Even Yu Jinghe and Wu Manong, who had long known the details about Li Yuan, grew even more admiring of him.


    It¡¯s one thing to be highly talented; it¡¯s another to play it to the fullest.


    How long had Li Yuan been practicing? Yet he had managed to face and kill a Semi Divine Level genius from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom directly.


    ¡°The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s choice of a Semi Divine Level genius was unexpected, showing their determination to win,¡± Yu Jinghe said softly. ¡°Now, having failed again, they are unlikely to compete with Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°We need to get ready.¡±


    Suddenly, Wu Manong, Tavares, Flame Cloud Fox, Yanjun Ling all felt a chill, understanding what Yu Jinghe meant.


    The internal conflicts within World within Worlds were likely to come to a pause.


    With Li Yuan holding the fort, in the short term, it¡¯s nearly impossible for the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to send another First Stage Martial Artist to compete.


    Therefore, the warbase they were guarding was much more likely to erupt into a major battle.


    ¡°If they dare to come, then let¡¯s fight,¡± Tavares said with a chuckle. ¡°A civilization where divines have emerged?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve fought against Second Level powerhouses of the Myriad Demons Civilization; what¡¯s there to fear!¡±


    ¡°All at the Second Level, who is inferior to whom?¡± Abbott also revealed a trace of bloodlust.


    All four geniuses had grown through numerous life-and-death battles.


    How could they possibly be afraid?


    Being the ¡®elite existence¡¯ among the Prime Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, they were the sharpest blades used by the entire civilization to fight in each Second Level Star Realm.


    ¡°War isn¡¯t something we fear.¡±


    ¡°Still, let¡¯s first report Li Yuan¡¯s performance and the latest situation within the World within Worlds,¡± Wu Manong said quietly. ¡°Let¡¯s see if the alliance¡¯s top level will invest more resources in us.¡±


    ¡­


    While the higher echelons of the two great civilizations were in turmoil, each with their strategies, World within Worlds instead fell silent.

    Chapter 354: Chapter 246: Mintian Hou¡¯s Fury! The Current Li Yuan (Added Chapters 36, 37)_


    At this moment, Li Yuan functioned as the Seas Calming Divine Needle within the Middle Realm.


    Even the demigods of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom temporarily extinguished the idea of directly competing for control over the Middle Realm.


    Beneath the continuous and towering mountain range.


    On one side of a dark gorge¡¯s cliff, eight hours later, Li Yuan¡¯s complete transformation finally concluded.


    He simply sat there quietly.


    ¡°Four infusions of Origin Power have finally ended,¡± Li Yuan thought with an unparalleled sense of tranquility.


    With a single thought, his spiritual consciousness permeated his entire body, sensing every strand of subtle Vigor.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± In the Sea of Source Energy, tumultuous Origin Power surged, instantly raising towering waves, then swiftly flowing into each Star Meridian.


    The four Star Meridians interlaced with each other, making Li Yuan¡¯s overall aura exceptionally different.


    Powerful!


    Unprecedentedly powerful!


    At this moment, while mobilizing the myriad subtle strengths within his body along with his Origin Power, Li Yuan felt an outburst of strength far surpassing anything before.


    If he were to encounter Mo Hu again?


    Li Yuan estimated that it would only take two to three moves to slay him, a truly one-sided curb-stomping.


    ¡°25.9 level?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª-


    [Life Level: 25.9 level (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 413,000 kilograms


    Speed: 258 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 32.8 level


    Willpower: 33 level


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 40% (Current upper limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: 16 level (Training efficiency 10+1.5+1+0.5)


    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 43%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 43%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± (First Rank 7 level: 7 level)


    ¡­


    ¡°Physical Quality increased by 2.2 levels, Basic Fist Strength went up by about 130,000 kilograms?¡± Li Yuan silently pondered.


    The effect of Origin Power infusion was much better than the Fourth Rank treasure, the ¡°Myriad Life Extension Fruit.¡±


    The Spiritual Power had also increased by a full level.


    If Li Yuan were to solely practice the Visualization Method, it would take him a long time to reach such an increase.


    At the level of 32.8 Spiritual Power, among the many Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan reckoned he was already quite good.


    ¡°Now, if I were to use the Spiritual Secret Technique again, it would be extremely difficult for Mo Hu to easily withstand it,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Even without losing his senses, his strength would be reduced by more than twenty percent.¡±


    ¡°If it were a typical 29 level Prime Warrior, they would likely lose their senses,¡± said Li Yuan, a smile appearing on his lips.


    Li Yuan was extremely satisfied.


    That the Spiritual Secret Technique could play such a big role in a head-on fight¡­ was already quite remarkable.


    However.


    This infusion of Origin Power was not as exciting to Li Yuan due to the physical and Spiritual Power breakthroughs.


    Rather, it was¡ªSpiritual Awakening Level and the Star Meridian.


    ¡°I never expected that reaching 32 level Spiritual Power would meet the requirements to raise my Spiritual Awakening upper limit to 45%,¡± Li Yuan glanced at one of the many unremarkable Divine Palace prompts.


    ¡°[Your Spiritual Power has reached 32 level, Spiritual Awakening upper limit has increased from 40% to 45%]¡±


    Of course.


    Having the Spiritual Awakening upper limit increased to 45% doesn¡¯t affect much for the time being, as even if Li Yuan continues to accumulate to the upper limit, he can¡¯t infuse Origin Power.


    But what¡¯s most important is that it signifies Li Yuan is just one step away from reaching a 50% Spiritual Awakening upper limit.


    ¡°Spiritual Power reaching 32 level has made the upper limit 45%.¡±


    ¡°So, what would the requirement for reaching a 50% upper limit be? Would it need a Spiritual Power of 34 level? Or 35 level?¡± Li Yuan silently speculated and guessed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, like reaching a Life Level of 35 level, it was the normal peak for Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Spiritual Power progressing from 35 to 36 level would also be a big hurdle, and breaking through would be very difficult too. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I hope,¡±


    ¡°that the requirements for a 50% Spiritual Awakening upper limit aren¡¯t too high,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself with some anticipation.


    Because once the Spiritual Awakening upper limit reaches 50%, it would trigger a second Spiritual Guidance.


    The first Spiritual Guidance allowed Li Yuan to awaken a Perfect Star Vein.


    What about the second?


    ¡°Keep practicing diligently, as long as I persist, and with the continual increase in Spiritual Power, I will naturally reach it,¡± Li Yuan reasoned to himself. ¡°Now with four Star Meridians awakened, and a vast amount of isolated Life Stars¡­ I should not be far from awakening the fifth Star Meridian.¡±


    Li Yuan silently sensed the four Star Meridians inside his body which had undergone immense changes compared to when he had just awakened the fourth one.


    All this was the result of his hours of persistent awakening of Life Stars.


    A Perfect Star Vein.


    One each of a Third Layer, Second Layer, and First Layer Star Vein.


    It is precisely because of this that Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridian Level has reached level 16 all at once.


    ¡°With a Third Layer Star Vein, I can now practice Third Layer Star Techniques.¡± Before entering the Star Realm, Li Yuan had already learned many Third Layer Star Technique Secret Manuals in the Starfire Treasure Repository.


    However, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t planning on practicing them for the time being.


    ¡°My Perfect Star Vein has already chosen to practice a supportive Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Therefore, the second star technique must be one that excels in attack.¡±


    ¡°The second Star Vein has awakened to the Third Layer in such a short time. If I keep practicing, maybe I can awaken it to the Fifth Layer, Sixth Layers,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    In the Prime Warrior stage, the body¡¯s ability to endure is limited, and even if one awakens Five-Star Meridians or Six Star Pulses, they often can practice at most two Star Techniques, with the limit being three.


    Therefore.


    The choice of Star Technique is of great importance.


    ¡°If I want to surpass Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe at level 29, I had better practice a powerful Star Technique next,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Third Layer Star Technique? That would be too weak.


    ¡­


    After clearing his thoughts, Li Yuan began checking his smart ring, which had many messages awaiting his review.


    There were messages from Alicia, Si Feng, among others.


    And also from Wu Manong.


    After reading through them.


    ¡°It seems everything is normal. In these eight hours, Alicia and the others killed a batch of fleeing members of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, but they didn¡¯t encounter any more obstacles, nor were there any experts left,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.

    Following the great battle at the Relic Divine Palace not long ago, the entire World within Worlds seemed to finally calm down.


    ¡°Wu Manong¡¯s meaning¡­¡±


    ¡°Let me start venturing into the Relic Divine Palace? Explore its secrets, see if I can find any treasures?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Why do the two great civilizations vie for the World within Worlds? S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Because indeed, the treasures contained within the Relic Divine Palace¡­ part of it forged a demigod of the Seven Star Civilization, the ¡®Flame City Demigod¡¯, and even built a powerful demi-god family, from which Flying Heaven Warriors have emerged in great numbers over the past hundred years.


    So, if one could obtain all the treasures of the entire World within Worlds.


    How valuable would they be?


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family, Lanyue must have taken a path similar to her ancestor, the ¡®Flame City Demigod¡¯, entering deep into the relics?¡± Li Yuan silently speculated.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan slowly stood up.


    ¡°My physical quality and spiritual power, I can no longer enhance them in a short period of time.¡± Li Yuan had made up his mind, ¡°But Star Techniques, they can still be improved.¡±


    ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± this Star Technique could still be cultivated.


    ¡°With the Divine Crystal Energy Concentration in the mysterious chamber, it will take at most another day or two, and I should be able to cultivate it to its limit,¡± Li Yuan leaped towards the bottom of the canyon here.


    His quiet place of cultivation was not far from the ¡®mysterious chamber¡¯ at the bottom of the canyon, just a few kilometers away.


    ¡°Just right.¡±


    ¡°If I now venture into the Relic Divine Palace and accidentally get trapped inside, and if high-level masters from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom come to kill¡­ Alicia and the others might not be able to hold them off,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    ¡°Hmm, if they send people again, I¡¯ll just slap them all to death.¡± Li Yuan was very confident in his own strength.


    Talents like Mo Hu were extremely rare.


    The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom sending even stronger envoys? The probability is very low. Perhaps such talents exist, but the chance that they are currently at the First Order is too slim.


    ¡°Wait two more days, confirm that Gu Yue Divine Kingdom dares not send more masters into the World within Worlds, then it would not be too late to venture into the Relic Divine Palace.¡±


    Li Yuan did not think there would be any problem with going two days later.


    To be precise, if he could cultivate a Supreme Star Technique to perfection, his chances would be even greater.


    Soon.


    In utter darkness, Li Yuan followed his senses and approached the mysterious chamber.


    ¡°Exotic Beasts?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power could sense countless exotic beasts lurking in the darkness around him.


    But perhaps after witnessing Li Yuan¡¯s formidable strength, not a single one of those countless beasts dared to approach him, let alone attack.


    Unhindered.


    ¡°The stone door, it¡¯s closed again?¡± Li Yuan arrived at the chamber¡¯s large door and paused.


    He remembered not closing the stone door when he left¡­ because he didn¡¯t know how to close it from the outside.


    After pondering.


    Li Yuan placed his palms on the stone door and applied a slight force throughout his body, slowly pushing open the immensely heavy stone door.


    Boom!


    A surge of powerful Origin Power fluctuations and Divine Crystal Energy gushed out along the stone door.


    Li Yuan still cautiously used his Divine Sense to confirm no one was inside the chamber.


    ¡°Enter!¡±


    Stepping into the chamber, Li Yuan once again sat cross-legged, sensing the rich Earth Origin Crystal Energy inside, with the cultivation mysteries of the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± emerging in his mind.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°We need to wait another two days?¡± Alicia received the message from Li Yuan just before he entered the chamber.


    ¡°Let us continue to patrol, guarding the Relic Divine Palace?¡±


    ¡°Once we encounter unbeatable masters, we should immediately call for help?¡± Alicia looked at Li Yuan¡¯s orders.


    After brief contemplation.


    She passed the order to Si Feng, Kross, and the others.


    ¡°Alicia, that Li Yuan must have a big secret. I suspect he discovered something in the core of that mining vein¡­¡± A young voice rang out in Alicia¡¯s mind: ¡°Why not, we descend to the bottom of the canyon and see for ourselves?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s be cautious. As for Li Yuan?¡± Alicia shook her head, her mind involuntarily envisioning the handsome young man¡¯s face: ¡°Since he said two days, let¡¯s wait for him two more days.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not too late to ask him after two days.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed, and about five hours after Li Yuan entered the chamber.


    The once dark chamber was now slightly illuminated¡­ Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the center, was surrounded by a faint earthy yellow glow.


    ¡°116,620 Life Stars.¡±


    ¡°116,630 Life Stars.¡± Li Yuan focused intently, his powerful spiritual consciousness continuously branding Star Marks on each Life Star.


    Finally.


    ¡°116,640 Life Stars.¡± Li Yuan sensed precisely as the last Life Star was branded with the Star Mark.


    This also signified that the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± Star Technique had truly reached the First Order Limit.


    In that instant!


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Perfect Star Vein burst forth with dazzling light.


    The brilliance was so intense that the whole chamber seemed like daylight.

 Chapter 360: 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)

    Chapter 360: Chapter 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)


    Huh!


    Li Yuan had just stepped into the plaza.


    He hadn¡¯t even approached the steps of the towering main hall when he felt an invisible fluctuation forming out of thin air about thirty meters away from himself.


    ¡°Hmm? Not good,¡± Li Yuan, whose spiritual power was incredibly strong, immediately sensed the anomaly.


    He was just about to retreat when it was already too late.


    Buzz~ The invisible fluctuation instantly invaded Li Yuan¡¯s body, seemingly containing a destructive force that made Li Yuan¡¯s heart shudder, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.


    In an instant, Li Yuan was suppressed by this force, frozen in place.


    Unable to move!


    ¡°What? What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Yuan was shocked, this was not mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence.


    Could it be that the information was false?


    However, the destructive restraining power was too overwhelming, and even as Li Yuan burst out with all his might in an instant¡­ he still couldn¡¯t budge an inch.


    This scene made Li Yuan think of Mo Hu¡¯s death, but the restraining power last time was even more terrifying, as it had outright immobilized space itself.


    This time, it was only restraining Li Yuan.


    Just a few seconds later, without giving Li Yuan time to think¡­


    Whoosh~


    Several meters away, several strands of purple light appeared out of nowhere.


    No sooner had the light concentrated than it shot towards Li Yuan, and immediately, strands of a strange force infiltrated Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    Cold! That was Li Yuan¡¯s only sensation.


    ¡°Is this to check my body? To probe my details?¡± Li Yuan wondered in astonishment, guessing.


    With his level of skill, he could only detect the presence of this strange force¡­ which in the blink of an eye swept over Li Yuan¡¯s entire body and even attempted to penetrate into the sea of his consciousness within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­


    No sooner had it tried to infiltrate¡­


    Buzz~ Li Yuan felt the Mind Spirit Divine Palace suddenly emit waves of invisible fluctuations, as if concealing its existence¡­ The strange force quickly swept past the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    And then it completely dissipated.


    The strands of light shining on him also vanished abruptly, and the destructive restraining force that had assailed him dispersed just as suddenly.


    Within the plaza, everything returned to normal.


    As though¡­


    Nothing had happened to Li Yuan at all.


    ¡°What exactly is going on?¡± Li Yuan puzzled in his heart, ¡°What is this situation? The Divine Heritage¡­ No wonder the Blazing Flame Family said they only uncovered a bit of the mystery; there¡¯s still so much unknown¡­ Based on the many clues before, the World within Worlds indeed contains great secrets.¡±


    ¡°However, they likely didn¡¯t mean to kill me,¡± Li Yuan reflected, recalling how Mo Hu died.


    He understood that the forces behind the World within Worlds could easily kill him if they wished.


    Just a few seconds later.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± A wave of elemental fluctuation emerged once more, transmitting directly into Li Yuan¡¯s mind. This fluctuation contained two pieces of information.


    ¡°Congratulations, your talent matches the ¡®Earth Divine Inheritance Candidate¡¯ criteria, and you are qualified to start the ¡®Divine Heritage Assessment.¡¯ If you pass the threefold trials, you will be eligible for the ¡®Earth Divine Inheritance.¡¯ You have one minute to decide whether to participate in the assessment. Participating in the assessment will carry a risk of death.¡±


    ¡°If you wish to participate, stand still, and the assessment will begin after one minute; if you choose to leave, then you will exit the ¡®Divine Palace.''¡±


    These two pieces of information were not in the form of text or images, but rather a type of spiritual fluctuation Li Yuan found difficult to comprehend. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yet Li Yuan could clearly understand the meaning they conveyed.


    ¡°Earth Divine Inheritance? An inheritance test?¡± Li Yuan was astonished, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: ¡°Wasn¡¯t it said in the intelligence that the World within Worlds was left behind by a Fire System Divine?¡±


    This information had never been mentioned in the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence.


    However!


    Li Yuan had long anticipated the existence of treasures within the World within Worlds and his thoughts raced as he analyzed the information.


    ¡°According to the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence, which is information given by the ¡®Demigod of Flame City,¡¯ it is highly likely that this World within Worlds is a remnant of a ¡®Fire System Divine,¡¯ but there are also many other benefits¡­ just now, my talent was likely tested by those behind the scenes.¡±


    ¡°But why would there be an Earth System Divine inheritance as well?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that this World within Worlds is the legacy of multiple Divines?¡±


    ¡°I originally thought that as someone not from the lineage of fire, I wouldn¡¯t be able to access any divine treasures or inheritances, but to my surprise, there¡¯s still hope to acquire a Divine Inheritance.¡± Li Yuan made a vague judgment in his heart: ¡°Should I take the plunge?¡±


    To take the plunge would have both advantages and disadvantages.


    One might gain enormously, but there was also the risk of death¡­ crucially, the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s intelligence had never mentioned an ¡®Earth System Divine Inheritance.¡¯


    That meant there were no experiences to draw on, leaving Li Yuan unable to assess the level of danger.


    ¡°Let¡¯s take the plunge,¡± Li Yuan decided after just a few seconds.


    Having come this far.


    ¡°A Divine Inheritance, how rare is that? The entire Seven Star Civilization hasn¡¯t yet produced a Divine Being. ¡± A trace of longing appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°While receiving a Divine Being Inheritance doesn¡¯t guarantee becoming a Divine Being, it undoubtedly greatly increases the hope.¡±


    Even if he were to go to Feixing in the future and accept the so-called ¡®Martial God Inheritance,¡¯ it would still be an inheritance formed by the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, not necessarily comparable to a true ¡®Divine Being Inheritance.¡¯


    Such an opportunity was too rare.


    He had to seize it!


    One shouldn¡¯t take risks lightly, as life-and-death challenges could easily lead to death¡­ but upon encountering a great opportunity, one must also take the risk.


    Moreover, Li Yuan believed that even if a Divine Being was selecting a successor, his talent surely gave him a chance to be chosen.


    Time passed.


    After a minute.


    Buzz~ Another invisible fluctuation reached Li Yuan¡¯s mind, the message straightforward¡ª¡±The test is about to begin, survive the first two trials to live; fail to meet the criteria in the first two trials, and die!¡±

 Chapter 361: 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_2

    Chapter 361: Chapter 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_2


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan immediately understood that he had to pass at least the first two layers of the triple trial.


    Only two seconds later.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a violent wind arose in the plaza over 200 meters in diameter, sweeping along countless grains of sand. Following closely, Li Yuan watched with his own eyes as the sand began to coalesce¡­ eventually forming a figure clad in earthy yellow combat armor, holding a long spear. He was quite dazzling, resembling a war god.


    His eyes were the only feature of blood-red color, staring intently at Li Yuan.


    ¡°[Target Life Level is 25, no life features detected, killing will not yield Spiritual Nature nutrients]¡± Li Yuan employed Divine Palace Inquiry straight away.


    The results of the inquiry instantly reminded Li Yuan of the numerous black exotic beasts he had encountered at the bottom of the canyon.


    Linked in sequence!


    ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡± Li Yuan marveled internally, the methods of the World within Worlds surpassed his imagination.


    What was the assessment? To kill the opponent?


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Even more ferocious winds lifted, stirring the sand on the ground, following which an even greater number of earthy yellow figures emerged densely packed around Li Yuan.


    ¡°Turning sand into humans?¡± Li Yuan felt increasingly shocked as he immediately employed Divine Palace Inquiry once more.


    All of them were Level 25.


    ¡°Thirty-six?¡± With a sweep of his gaze, Li Yuan confirmed all the earthy yellow warlike figures.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The first earthy yellow figure that appeared let out a low roar.


    The language he roared was not the ¡°Seven Stars Language¡± but Li Yuan could sense the meaning he wished to convey.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± The thirty-six earthy yellow figures roared in anger, erupting simultaneously, converging from all sides towards Li Yuan at the center.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s hand flashed with the Black Chen Spear, followed by a covering of the Origin Power Battle Suit over his entire body, a faint earthy yellow glow emerging from the garment, turning him into the spitting image of a war god.


    By now, how could Li Yuan not understand? This part of the trial probably required him to defeat all thirty-six gatekeepers, or perhaps even to kill them.


    Thirty-six Level 25 warriors?


    ¡°I really want to see how tough this Earth System Divine Being Inheritance¡¯s trial can be,¡± Li Yuan said, darting forward, his figure passing through several gatekeepers like a gust of wind.


    He burst out of the encirclement.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The instant he broke free from the encirclement, his long spear in hand thrust forward with a howling sound, the terrifying force stabbing out, hammering into the head of one of the gatekeepers.


    Boom~


    It was as if he had struck a giant sandbag, the gatekeeper¡¯s head exploding under the force of Li Yuan¡¯s thrust.


    But he did not fall.


    Rustling~ Countless scattering grains of sand quickly flowed back and reformed the gatekeeper¡¯s head!


    ¡°Ha!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The other gatekeepers were already rushing towards him, their long spears howling with fierce might.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± Li Yuan wielded his spear, fending off the blows one after the other with ease given his strength.


    But Li Yuan was feeling a sense of urgency.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t they be killed? The black exotic beasts I encountered in the canyon, though also lacking life features, could die if hit in the vitals. Why are these gatekeepers different?¡± Li Yuan struggled to keep calm.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    The spear light was dazzling; Li Yuan easily pierced through the bodies of the gatekeepers, causing their heads to shatter, chests to rip open, or arms to break¡­ but no matter what he did, even if their bodies completely exploded, they would recover quickly.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± The number of gatekeepers was formidable, as many as 36. Even though a few of them were temporarily incapacitated by Li Yuan¡¯s attacks, their places were quickly taken by others.


    Despite the limited space, there were always at least ten gatekeepers able to attack Li Yuan at any one time.


    ¡°Dodge?¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    The plaza was only so big, a mere two hundred meters in diameter. With the Burst Speed of a Level 25 Prime Warrior, one can dash from one end to the other in a single bound.


    ¡°All or nothing.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes grew cold; he had no path of retreat.


    According to the message he received earlier, should the trial end in failure, death was certain.


    ¡°Puff!¡± S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The Black Chen Spear in Li Yuan¡¯s hands erupted with terrifying power, the spear light shining like stars, dazzling and flowing, converging like a river, easily blocking the assaults of the gatekeepers.


    True Intent special move¡ªGalaxy Spiral!


    In terms of skills and strength, Li Yuan far surpassed these gatekeepers.


    Especially with the operation of his Perfect Star Veins within and the vague connection with the Earth Vein, the might of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique surged greatly.


    ¡°Thump~¡± As the spear light collided with the weapon of one of the gatekeepers, the terrifying force transmitted instantly caused cracks to appear on both of the gatekeeper¡¯s arms.


    The disparity in strength was astonishing.


    The skills displayed by these gatekeepers were only at the Intermediate Rank of the Fourth Level¡­ it was only their astonishing number and their Undying Bodies that forced Li Yuan to be on the defensive just to protect himself.


    Time passed.


    One after another, gatekeepers were knocked down only to rise again, as Li Yuan fought with all his might, his Origin Power also being furiously consumed¡­ With the Sea of Source Energy newly formed, the direct amplification of Origin Power on strength for a Prime Warrior was not significant.


    However, Origin Power can continuously eliminate the weariness of muscles and bones and merge with flesh to immensely boost defense¡­ A Prime Warrior who exhausted his Origin Power would see their combat prowess decline by at least half.


    ¡°What should I do?¡±


    ¡°Even after being killed over and over, their strength doesn¡¯t diminish.¡± Li Yuan tried numerous methods, growing more anxious by the moment.


    Originally, Li Yuan believed that with each attack, the strength of these gatekeepers would wane until they were completely dead.


    But that was not the case.


    A weak spot? They were made of sand, without any weaknesses.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The thirty-six gatekeepers, overwhelming like a deluge, besieged Li Yuan. They were like puppets¡­ with only the instinct to fight and kill.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 362: 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_3

    Chapter 362: Chapter 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_3


    And what about Li Yuan? He could only endure!


    Endure until death!


    ¡°There must be a chance.¡±


    ¡°There must be! The inheritance test couldn¡¯t possibly be designed to be unpassable.¡±


    ¡°It might be a time-limited test. As long as I hold on for a while, I should be able to pass.¡± Another possibility flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, giving him even more motivation to persist.


    But!!


    One minute, two minutes¡­ ten minutes¡­ thirty minutes¡­ This was an excruciatingly long battle.


    So long that it made Li Yuan¡¯s heart tremble.


    He could easily fend off the attacks of the Gatekeepers, but he couldn¡¯t completely ignore them¡­ His physical strength and Origin Power were constantly being depleted. Again and again, the battles and close combat were a torment to Li Yuan¡¯s spirit.


    In the blink of an eye, forty minutes had passed.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The thirty-six Gatekeepers were still roaring, continuously besieging Li Yuan.


    ¡°Haven¡¯t I met the requirements yet?¡± Li Yuan was nearly driven mad.


    This was definitely the longest battle of his life, even longer than the one in Flying Serpent Valley¡­ At least in that battle, he could see hope.


    ¡°Hold on.¡±


    ¡°Hang in there until the end.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power inside him had long been greatly depleted, yet he was still hanging on.


    Fortunately, the operation of his four Star Meridians, especially the Perfect Star Vein¡­ allowed the Origin Power within Li Yuan to recover at an astonishing rate.


    According to the Divine Palace panel display, the training efficiency was 13, a level many peers with Six Star Pulse couldn¡¯t reach.


    In an instant.


    Another ten minutes passed¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power inside him was finally exhausted.


    Even if the Star Meridians were operating and regenerating, it was still far from enough to compensate for the battle consumption¡­ He could only rely purely on his flesh and blood to forge ahead.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    ¡°Pffft~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was extraordinarily sharp, still hitting one Gatekeeper after another.


    This was a protracted battle.


    A full forty more minutes passed¡­ Li Yuan fought with all his might, his body was to the point of extreme fatigue, and his Spear Technique was a lot slower than at the beginning, purely relying on his high skill to hold on until now.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± A Gatekeeper¡¯s Long Spear whistled, thrusting straight toward Li Yuan¡¯s head!


    If it had been before, Li Yuan could have easily dodged.


    But now? Li Yuan was simply too exhausted. He could only watch helplessly as the Long Spear thrust toward him.


    Without the enhancement of Origin Power in the Battle Garment, this thrust would be enough to severely wound or even kill Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is it ending for me?¡±


    ¡°This Earth System Divine Being Inheritance, it¡¯s so difficult¡­ I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m going to die in the very first test of the inheritance.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart filled with unwillingness, yet he was completely out of options.


    Human strength has limits.


    But just when that Guardian roared, and his spear tip touched Li Yuan¡ªan instant.


    Whoosh~


    A breeze blew through and in an instant, the thirty-six Gatekeepers¡¯ bodies crumbled inch by inch into yellow sand and dissipated.


    The whole square quieted down all at once.


    ¡°I¡­ passed?¡± Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    Hum~


    An invisible fluctuation instantly transmitted into Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Congratulations, you have passed the first layer of the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance test with a ¡®Perfect Level¡¯ evaluation. Please proceed to the main hall for the second layer test.¡±


    ¡°Perfect Level?¡± Li Yuan vaguely understood that he probably met the test criteria long ago.


    But this so-called test was designed to push him to his limits.


    In fact, under the pressure of life and death, the nearly two hours of frantic battling greatly honed Li Yuan¡¯s spear-fighting skills without him realizing it, improving it to Fifth Stage 45%.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    Li Yuan let out a breath of relief, and his entire body directly collapsed to the ground, closing his eyes.


    He was too tired.


    His prolonged endurance had been entirely driven by the instinct to survive. Now that the assessment was passed, he let himself relax completely.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    ¡°Phew!¡± With his eyes closed, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness instantly descended into the ¡®Mind Spirit Divine Palace.¡¯


    He lay on the ground and began to practice the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    ¡­


    This session of practice lasted two hours, and Li Yuan lay on the square the entire time.


    He slowly opened his eyes, which had regained their clarity.


    Standing up, all traces of fatigue had vanished.


    ¡°The Visualization Method is really miraculous,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, then turned his gaze towards the distant main hall: ¡°Is the second layer test inside the main hall? My body might have shaken off the fatigue, but having exhausted my Origin Power earlier, only a third has recovered so far.¡±


    He sat down cross-legged.


    Phew! Li Yuan began running the four Star Meridians, frantically absorbing the Origin Power from the surroundings¡­ After the first layer test, Li Yuan dared not be the slightest bit careless.


    He must face the second layer test in his peak condition.


    ¡­


    Three hours later, Li Yuan had fully recovered and cautiously stepped onto the stairs leading to the main hall.


    Fifty-five steps.


    From the outside, one couldn¡¯t glimpse into the interior of the main hall, but as soon as Li Yuan stepped inside. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hum~ His vision flashed, and he immediately saw the inside of the hall.


    This was an ancient hall, far less towering than it appeared from the outside. At the end of the hall stood a Golden Divine Pillar about ten meters high with a diameter of at least three meters¡­ The surface of the Divine Pillar seemed to be carved with countless mysterious runes, emitting an invisible Spiritual Fluctuation.


    ¡°A Pillar of Spirit?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrunk slightly, instantly thinking of the copper pillar located at the base of the Vermilion Bird Building in Kunlun Martial University.


    The two looked incredibly similar.


    The Pillar of Spirit was the treasure of Kunlun Martial University¡­ It just seemed less important because Li Yuan had the Visualization Method.


    ¡°Could it be that the second layer test is a test of Willpower and Spiritual Power?¡± The thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The next moment.


    Boom! The Golden Divine Pillar at the end of the hall suddenly burst into radiant light, covering the entire hall and enveloping Li Yuan as well.


    Waves of intense spiritual pressure enveloped him.


    ¡°Is it really a test of Spiritual Power and Willpower?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.

 Chapter 363: 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_4

    Chapter 363: Chapter 248: Earth System Divine Being Inheritance (Additional 38, 39)_4


    This radiance held an intangible impact, its might extremely astonishing. For an ordinary Prime Warrior, they would probably faint in an instant¡­ but given Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual will, he naturally withstood it with ease.


    Hum~


    Without a sound, as if sensing that Li Yuan had easily withstood it, the golden Divine Pillar¡¯s glow became even more resplendent, the spiritual oppression it contained growing increasingly terrifying.


    ¡°Hold on!¡± Li Yuan knew he had no choice.


    Withdraw?


    To retreat from the hall would likely mean a failed trial, certain death¡­ but to what extent must one endure the spiritual pressure to pass the trial? There was no hint whatsoever.


    So, Li Yuan still had only one path¡ªendure at all costs!!


    The longer, the better.


    Hum~


    In just a short minute, the light released by the golden Divine Pillar had almost materialized, and the dreadful spiritual oppression had altered Li Yuan¡¯s complexion, forcing him to grit his teeth and hold on for dear life.


    It was truly too terrifying.


    ¡°I fear that an ordinary Prime Warrior would suffer mental collapse in an extremely short span of time,¡± said Li Yuan, expressionless.


    With spiritual power reaching 32.8 and willpower at 33¡­ speaking purely of spiritual will, Li Yuan was already outstanding among those at the Flying Heaven Level.


    Time passed!


    Oppression!


    The ever more horrifying oppression had now reached the peak of the Flying Heaven Level and was still increasing, causing Li Yuan to feel a stunning level of pressure.


    Under such terrifying oppression, an ordinary Prime Warrior would likely faint and lose consciousness instantly.


    What about an ordinary First Rank Martial Artist? They would directly suffer a mental breakdown, becoming insane or even meet death.


    ¡°Hold on!¡± Li Yuan clenched his teeth, still going all out, feeling even his thought process slowing down.


    As time went on, Li Yuan¡¯s face was subtly turning pale.


    Hum~ That golden Divine Pillar, its nature unknown, continued to escalate the spiritual oppression, quickly surpassing the domain of the Flying Heaven Peak and climbing toward the Semi Divine Level.


    Finally, when a certain limit was reached.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan felt a tremor in his spirit, the world went dark before his eyes, and he fainted outright.


    Completely unconscious.


    ¡­ After an unknown duration, Li Yuan slowly came to, his head feeling as if it was about to explode.


    Pain!


    This sort of brute endurance against spiritual oppression to the limit was inherently a form of torture to one¡¯s spiritual will.


    At the end of the hall, the previously radiant golden Divine Pillar had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°I¡¯m not dead; I must have passed the trial,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was still clear.


    Suddenly.


    Hum~ Two intangible fluctuations came through: ¡°Congratulations, you have passed the Second Layer trial of the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance, graded as ¡®Perfect Level¡¯, and will be heading to the final trial site to face the Third Layer trial.¡±


    ¡°If not passed, a gift will be bestowed upon you, and you may leave the place of inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if you pass the Third Layer trial and ultimately do not wish to accept the inheritance, you will still be presented with a gift and may depart.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.


    His trial at the Second Layer was graded as Perfect Level, he understood, after all, only First Rank life forms could enter the World within Worlds, and even if one broke through to Second Rank in a short time, how strong could their spiritual consciousness be?


    But.


    ¡°To pass the Third Layer trial and still not wish to accept the inheritance? To be allowed to leave on one¡¯s own accord?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind was filled with various thoughts.


    ¡°Could it be, does this Earth System Divine Being Inheritance contain dangers that I¡¯m unaware of?¡±

    In the deepest reaches of the World within Worlds, a mysterious place.


    A vast and grand hall stood.


    On a meditation cushion, a girl clad in a flame-red robe sat cross-legged, silently cultivating.


    Around her, wisps of flames seemed to flicker faintly.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Lanyue, an Inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being has appeared, exceptional in every way,¡± a gentle voice spoke: ¡°He¡­ even without the inheritance, likely possesses the potential of a Divine Being, far surpassing you.¡±

 Chapter 364: 249 Origin (Extra 40)

    Chapter 364: Chapter 249 Origin (Extra 40)


    ¡°Far surpass me?¡±


    ¡°Could possess the potential to become a divine being without receiving a Divine Being Inheritance?¡± Lin Lanyue, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of surprise flashing across them.


    Half a month into the inheritance site.


    She was fully aware of how proud the Boundary Spirit was; even though she had surpassed her ancestors in the purity of her bloodline after her Bloodline Awakening, perfectly matching the requirements to inherit the Divine Artifact and thus becoming a ¡®Fire System Divine¡¯s named disciple.¡¯


    Like the Nirvana Divine Scripture of the Blazing Flame Family, it was actually obtained from a Fire System Divine by a demigod of Flame City.


    Yet, according to the Boundary Spirit, her true Comprehension and talent were still far from sufficient.


    As for becoming a true inheritor of the Divine Being? She herself still had a long way to go, and might never succeed.


    The inheritance left behind by a divine being on the brink of death always had exceedingly high requirements, even for named disciples.


    In the words of the Boundary Spirit, if she practiced step by step within the Seven Star Civilization, she might have a slim hope of becoming a Demigod.


    But now, the Boundary Spirit was saying that this person had the potential to become a ¡®Divine Being¡¯ on their own?


    It seemed that this person had a chance to become an Earth System Divine Inheritor.


    When did her family have someone with such high talent?


    How was she not aware of it?


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°According to my observation of the World within Worlds during this period, he should be someone you know,¡± said the gentle voice. ¡°Moreover, he should be here to save you.¡±


    ¡°Save me? Someone I know?¡± Lin Lanyue was momentarily stunned.


    She had been trapped in the World within Worlds for half a month, constantly facing many trials from the ¡®Fire System Divine.¡¯


    Based on the ¡®Bloodline Token¡¯ given to her by her ancestor, the outside world should be aware she hadn¡¯t died.


    Why would someone be sent to save her?


    She was nearly unreachable inside the Relic Divine Palace, which her ancestor should have known.


    Had something happened?


    ¡°See for yourself.¡± The gentle voice sounded again, and following that, countless rays of light converged, and a massive light screen appeared out of nowhere.


    Appearing on the screen was the figure of someone standing silently in the palace, waiting.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s pupils constricted slightly because she was all too familiar with this figure.


    Li Yuan?


    ¡°Why is Li Yuan here?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart surged with shock and joy.


    The World within Worlds was controlled by the Blazing Flame Family, and theoretically, outsiders shouldn¡¯t be allowed in.


    Moreover, considering the time.


    Less than a month had passed since the virtual combat of the Blue Star Grand Competition had ended.


    ¡°Li Yuan has the potential to become a divine being?¡± Lin Lanyue recalled what the Boundary Spirit had just said, feeling somewhat shocked.


    She trusted the Boundary Spirit¡¯s judgement.


    She knew Li Yuan was extremely talented, but she never imagined it would be to this extent.


    A Divine Being?


    The entire Seven Star Civilization had yet to give birth to a Divine Being.


    ¡°It seems you do know him,¡± the gentle voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing.


    ¡°An Earth System Divine seems much stronger than your master, right? Their inheritance requirements must be much higher,¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help saying. ¡°Does Li Yuan have a chance to receive the inheritance directly?¡±


    As a candidate for the Divine Being Inheritance.


    Although she was limited in strength, merely a named disciple of the Fire System Divine, she was already privy to many secrets of the World within Worlds.


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°You should understand that master, that is, your mentor, was but a follower of that Earth System Divine,¡± continued the gentle voice. ¡°It was just during that great battle long ago that the Earth System Divine was mortally wounded, undoubtedly dying, and, with their last effort, managed to send the master away¡­ but the master also couldn¡¯t escape the fate of death, and only then was this World within Worlds created before they perished.¡±


    ¡°She left behind two Divine Being Inheritances, one of her own and the other of that Earth System Divine.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    This World within Worlds was left by her cheap master, so the outside world¡¯s Inquiry naturally concerned the Fire lineage¡­ but in reality, it contained another even more powerful legacy¡­ left by her master¡¯s own master.


    Originally, Lin Lanyue had planned to return to the Seven Star Civilization when she was strong enough.


    To then have some talents of the civilization attempt to pass the trials of the World within Worlds, to see if they could acquire the Earth System Divine¡¯s inheritance.


    Unexpectedly.


    Li Yuan had come so soon, and quickly earned the recognition of the Boundary Spirit.


    ¡°Boundary Spirit, how is Li Yuan?¡± Lin Lanyue asked.


    ¡°In terms of potential, he should be enough. His talent far exceeds yours, not to mention that you are not yet the direct disciple of the master; even if you eventually became one, your chances of achieving Divine status in the future are probably not as high as his,¡± the gentle voice spoke plainly. ¡°However, the ultimate trial of the Earth System Divine Inheritance was personally left by the Divine long ago¡­ what exactly it is, I am not clear.¡±


    Lin Lanyue listened carefully. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She could infer from the few words left by her master the terrifying extent of that Earth System Divine, far surpassing her master.


    ¡°However, there seems to be a powerful Divine behind your fellow villager,¡± the gentle voice said.


    ¡°Another powerful Divine?¡± Lin Lanyue was astonished. ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    In the Seven Star human civilization thus far, no Divine had ever appeared.


    ¡°Not sure.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that he really is mysterious, containing great secrets,¡± said the gentle voice. ¡°The slight threat he poses to me, apart from a powerful Divinity, I can think of nothing else.¡±


    ¡°So, I haven¡¯t delved deeper.¡±


    ¡°In this endless timespace, there are many secrets, and they need not always be probed,¡± the gentle voice said. ¡°Sometimes, it can bring disaster instead.¡±


    ¡°Remember the reason for the demise of your mentor and their master¡­ always be in awe of the endless timespace,¡± the gentle voice advised.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Lin Lanyue responded solemnly. She was clear on the reasons for the fall of the two Divinities.


    They died very unfairly.


    But it was not unjust.


    ¡°It seems he has awakened a Nine Layers Star Vein and cultivated a Supreme Star Technique as well,¡± the gentle voice said.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Vein?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart was increasingly shocked, ¡°Has he already become a Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°So soon?¡±


    As a named disciple of a Divine Being, her vision had become far superior to the past.


    Time passed.


    With the Boundary Spirit¡¯s narrative, Lin Lanyue approximately understood some events inside the World within Worlds and also learned of many things Li Yuan had done, which increasingly astonished her.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength had grown to this extent?


    ¡°The inheritance left by the Earth System Divine Being is not for you to decide; you only have the right to know,¡± the gentle voice spoke, ¡°Let¡¯s see if he can pass the trial. If he can surpass the ultimate test of inheritance, he will also come here and initially control the World within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded slightly.


    ¡°Furthermore,¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Divine Artifact¡¯ left by the master, even the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being is eligible to contend for it, as it was indeed left by the Earth System Divine Being,¡± the gentle voice continued, ¡°That Divine Artifact is extremely precious and involves major implications. The owner of the master perished because of it.¡±


    ¡°Once Li Yuan obtains the Earth System Divine Being¡¯s inheritance, given his talents, he is highly likely to acquire the Divine Artifact before you,¡± said the gentle voice.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡±


    ¡°That Divine Artifact¡­ my master mentioned in his Divine Sense¡¯s shadow image that his greatest regret in life was obtaining it,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head slightly, ¡°Not to mention that I¡¯m just a named disciple, even if I were to become a Direct Disciple, according to the master¡¯s wishes, he advised me not to covet it.¡±


    Lin Lanyue was self-aware; becoming a named disciple was already due to her Bloodline Awakening.


    If she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, that would be a stroke of luck.


    The ultimate legacy¡¯s Divine Artifact, at least, was not something she currently dared to entertain.


    According to the master¡¯s wishes, if she could become a Direct Disciple in the future, all she needed to do was return the Divine Artifact¡­ and she would fulfill the last will.


    As for that Divine Artifact?


    Essentially, it was meant for the inheritor of the Earth System Divine Being.


    ¡­


    Deep within the Divine Palace ruins, within that Divine Hall.


    ¡°Where is the Third Layer trial? Isn¡¯t it starting yet?¡± Li Yuan wondered inwardly.


    Suddenly~


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the Divine Hall, ¡°You may call me the Boundary Spirit, and I am also the controller of the entire world.¡±


    ¡°Boundary Spirit?¡± Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    He instantly realized that the whisper he had captured with his spiritual power when Mo Hu died must have been from this entity.


    ¡°The ultimate legacy site will take some time to open,¡± the voice of Boundary Spirit resounded, ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for you to choose.¡±


    ¡°If you wish,¡± she continued, ¡°I will send you to the ultimate legacy site.¡±


    ¡°If you do not wish, then I will send you away,¡± said Boundary Spirit.


    ¡°I have to choose?¡± Li Yuan reflected on his previous speculation.


    ¡°I have no control over what happens at the ultimate legacy site. Furthermore, the Earth System Divine Being fell because an enemy killed him. That Divine enemy will surely aim to kill you with all they have once they learn you¡¯re the inheritor,¡± the Boundary Spirit spoke indifferently, ¡°Consider the gains and losses for yourself.¡±


    ¡°You have one minute to decide.¡±


    ¡°Whether to go to the Earth System Divine Being¡¯s ultimate legacy site,¡± the Boundary Spirit said gently.


    Without further thought, Li Yuan smiled and said, ¡°I accept.¡±


    An enemy Divine Being? Hunting me?


    What a joke, first they have to find me.


    Just like my senior Dongfang Ji, how many strong beings from different civilizations wish to kill him? Surely, there must be Divine Beings among them, but has anyone succeeded?


    On the contrary, it seems there are quite a few Demigods slaughtered by Dongfang Ji, with his name known among many Foreign Civilizations.


    If one is strong, why fear an enemy?


    The more Li Yuan learned and the higher his horizons rose¡­ the stronger his desire to become a Divine Being became.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Prepare for transmission,¡± the Boundary Spirit¡¯s voice remained gentle, ¡°Three, two, one.¡±


    A hum~ An invisible wave enveloped Li Yuan, and in the next moment, he vanished from the Divine Hall.


    ¡­


    A mysterious place deep within the World within Worlds.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept by.


    Li Yuan felt darkness before his eyes, and after several seconds, when everything cleared, he was already in a vast, completely sealed hall.


    ¡°The air is filled with such a rich scent of Origin Power fluctuations,¡± Li Yuan marveled silently, observing this hall.


    Imposingly magnificent.


    On both sides, more than a dozen Divine Pillars supported it, each hundreds of meters tall. The throne in the temple was also exceptionally massive¡­ but in the Seven Star Civilization, there were almost no such structures.


    After all, what size must the inhabitant be?


    ¡°Could it be that this Earth System Divine Being was a giant?¡± Li Yuan pondered to himself.


    He couldn¡¯t help but walk towards the center of the great hall.


    The entire hall¡¯s decoration was very simple, with no carvings or reliefs on the pillars.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan looked towards the right side wall of the imposing hall, a thousand meters away, where countless patterns were engraved.


    They seemed to depict the scenes of stars and starry skies.


    ¡°A starry sky map?¡± Li Yuan was initially startled.


    Then he was captivated by the humongous starry mural, feeling as if it contained a certain mystery.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Stellar True Intent,¡± Li Yuan quickly caught on to a trace of mystery.

 Chapter 365: 250: Map of Myriad Stars

    Chapter 365: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars


    ¡°Stellar True Intent?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was shaken, ¡°I¡¯ve never sensed the fluctuation of Stellar True Intent so clearly.¡±


    For such a long time,


    ever since he began cultivating ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± at the Subtlety level, Li Yuan had been practicing the Secret Manual that contained Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s various insights and guidance on ¡®Stellar True Intent¡¯.


    It was precisely because of this Secret Manual that Li Yuan was able to cultivate faster on the path towards Unity of Heaven and Man.


    Borrowing insights from the manual to comprehend the nature¡¯s intricate Mystery, he made his Spear Technique advance even more rapidly.


    But the various guidances of ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± were essentially still very vague¡­ many intricacies were indefinable and inexpressible.


    When Li Yuan stepped into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, and especially after creating the True Intent Killing Move ¡®Star River Whirl¡¯, this feeling became even more intense.


    Like now, Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation of Spear Technique relied more on his own comprehension and speculation¡­ The operation of heaven and earth contained countless intricate fluctuations, and it was extremely difficult to find the True Intent fluctuations that best suited him.


    Fortunately, Li Yuan¡¯s Comprehension was extremely high to begin with, and he had obtained a Flying Heaven Level soul, so cultivating ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± made him highly compatible with the Earth Vein.


    Therefore, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was advancing faster and faster, but he was still far from truly mastering Stellar True Intent.


    ¡°Now, this Stellar True Intent fluctuation,¡± Li Yuan held his breath, looking up at the gigantic stone wall engraved with countless starry scenes.


    The entire stone wall was over a hundred meters wide and more than fifty meters high¡­ incredibly vast.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, the Stellar Stone Wall in front of him had already exceeded the value of all the treasures he had ever obtained.


    Ultimate treasure!


    This was definitely an ultimate treasure!


    Because by sensing the Stellar fluctuations emanating from the stone wall, and then incorporating them with his own, Li Yuan could probably speed up the cultivation of his Spear Technique by a large margin.


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Principal Fang Hai both said,¡±


    ¡°Comprehending heaven and earth, they can hardly provide guidance, it depends more on oneself,¡± Li Yuan looked up and said, ¡°Wrong! They were wrong!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t provide guidance,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that their realms are not high enough¡­ Observing and comprehending this massive stone wall is like having a real ¡®True Intent instructor¡¯ for guidance,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone brightly.


    At this moment, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, he had immense respect for that unseen ¡®Earth System Divine,¡¯ to the utmost extent.


    Truly divine!


    ¡°Only, how am I supposed to move this gigantic stone wall?¡± Li Yuan hesitated inwardly, ¡°Moreover, what will be the ultimate test that the Boundary Spirit spoke of?¡± S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan had a premonition and involuntarily turned to look.


    In the space about ten meters high,


    a girl appeared as if out of nowhere, resembling a sprite. She had an exquisitely beautiful face, with long hair fluttering down, dressed in white gauze, barefooted, standing in mid-air, opening her spirited eyes to look at Li Yuan, seemingly observing him.


    So beautiful, that was Li Yuan¡¯s first thought.


    This was definitely the most beautiful girl Li Yuan had ever seen, like Alicia, Lin Lanyue, they all had outstanding temperaments and appearances¡­ but none could compare to the girl before him.


    Especially that transcendent and ethereal quality made one feel it was sacrilegious to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.


    The only thing that made Li Yuan a bit puzzled was the girl¡¯s figure, which looked somewhat illusory¡­ somewhat unreal.


    Fortunately,


    Li Yuan¡¯s willpower was strong enough, and within a second, he pressed down many thoughts and said respectfully, ¡°Junior Li Yuan, I have seen my senior.¡±


    The Boundary Spirit said that it could not control the Earth System Divine¡¯s Hall of Inheritance,


    which was enough to explain the uniqueness of this place.


    The appearance of such a woman was enough to make Li Yuan revere her.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan curiously, her voice melodious like music from heaven, ¡°Are you the inheritor referred to by Little Fire, one who has the hope of inheriting my father¡¯s mantle?¡±


    ¡°Little Fire? Father?¡± Li Yuan was astonished and somewhat confused.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Boundary Spirit from the Cave Heaven World that sent you here,¡± the white-clothed girl said with a smile, ¡°The Cave Heaven World is a treasure of the Fire System Divine, so I call the Boundary Spirit Little Fire.¡±


    The Boundary Spirit was Little Fire? Li Yuan was astonished.


    Suddenly,


    Li Yuan had an epiphany and couldn¡¯t help but look at the white-clothed girl, ¡°Senior, are you the daughter of the Earth System Divine?¡±


    The daughter of a divine? Could this be true?


    ¡°Indeed, Ancient Torch Divine is my father,¡± the white-clothed girl said with a faint smile.


    Ancient Torch Divine?


    Was that the true name of the Earth System Divine?


    The white-clothed girl continued, ¡°But my father belongs to the mountain giant lineage, while I am not human.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not human?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Right, I am not human,¡± the white-clothed girl nodded as if it were perfectly natural, ¡°You don¡¯t need to dwell on these details. Before my father¡¯s passing, he entrusted me with overseeing the Hall of Inheritance. If you want to become my father¡¯s disciple, then you will have to pass the initial trial he has left.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Even though he was still unclear whether the white-clothed girl was human or not, at least he understood that his fate was in her hands.


    ¡°I have seen your first two trials,¡± the white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Not yet twenty years old, and not one who relies on powerful bloodlines for growth¡­ To have achieved Fifth Stage Skill, a Flying Heaven Level soul, you are indeed very outstanding.¡±


    ¡°And according to Little Fire, it seems you have awoken several Star Meridians, among which there is a Nine Layers Star Vein?¡± The white-clothed girl looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted; how did she know all this?


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind it, this world is controlled by Little Fire, there¡¯s almost nothing that can be hidden from it,¡± the white-clothed girl said with a smile, ¡°There must be some secrets within you, but then, which extraordinary genius doesn¡¯t have fate on their side¡­ We can¡¯t cultivate, so we are not interested in your secrets.¡±


    Little Fire¡¯s controlled world? Li Yuan thought to himself.

 Chapter 366: 250: Map of Myriad Stars_2

    Chapter 366: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars_2


    However,


    it seemed that the girl in white did not know about the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°This Star Realm is only connected to a few dimensional planes, and it has been hiding and not truly emerged until recently, a little more than a hundred years¡­ To have a genius like you come here, is indeed very rare,¡± said the girl in white.


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind stirred.


    Taking refuge? Refuge from what? Was it from the pursuit of other divines? S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But this was the Second Level Star Realm; even if as powerful as a divine, they shouldn¡¯t be able to enter.


    ¡°Logically, with the talent you¡¯ve shown, if my father were still alive, he would probably have been willing to take you on as a direct disciple,¡± the girl in white looked at Li Yuan, ¡°But now that my father has long passed away, we must follow the many rules he left before his death.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, you can only become my father¡¯s disciple by passing the trial,¡± the girl in white said earnestly.


    Li Yuan pondered. Both the Boundary Spirit and the girl in white before him seemed a bit rigid.


    A bit like an artificial intelligence, strictly following whatever commands their master had left.


    Incapable of flexibility.


    ¡°May I ask, senior, what is the trial?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°No need to call me senior,¡± said the girl in white, shaking her head, ¡°My name is Gu You; you can simply call me by my name.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Senior Gu You,¡± Li Yuan replied seriously.


    The girl in white was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, ¡°Senior it is, then. Well, the trial is right there.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a sweep of her hand, three blobs of golden metallic liquid suddenly emerged from the empty ground, rising and swirling until finally, they congealed into three figures clad in golden armor.


    The three of them, each with an extraordinary aura, stood there with weapons in hand, and suddenly they all opened their eyes, which were full of life and radiated with the light of wisdom.


    ¡°War God Gu You.¡±


    ¡°War God!¡± The three Golden Armored Warriors reveled fervently and saluted respectfully.


    ¡°War God?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback, looking at the girl who seemed as harmless as a sprite.


    ¡°I¡¯m not the War God; it sounds bad,¡± the girl¡¯s head bobbed back and forth like a rattle.


    Li Yuan was at a loss. He felt that the girl in white¡­ really was like a young girl.


    ¡°All right.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, your trial is very simple,¡± the girl in white looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Everyone who comes here faces different levels of difficulty for their trial. I have observed your age, skill level, spiritual power, and Star Meridian talent, and will make a comprehensive judgment on the difficulty of the trial you must face¡­ The final layer of the trial is actually a test of your comprehension.¡±


    ¡°Comprehension?¡± Li Yuan mulled over this.


    ¡°You have three months,¡± the girl in white said, ¡°If you can defeat the third Golden Armored Warrior within three months, you can become a Disciple in Name.¡±


    ¡°If you can defeat the second Golden Armored Warrior, you can become an Inner Sect Disciple.¡±


    ¡°If you can defeat the first Golden Armored Warrior, you can become a Direct Disciple,¡± declared Gu You.


    ¡°Three months? Defeat three Golden Armored Warriors?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but turn to look at the three Golden Armored Warriors.


    They also smiled back at Li Yuan: ¡°I am number three.¡±


    ¡°I am number two.¡±


    The last Golden Armored Warrior shrugged his shoulders; naturally, he was the most powerful, number one.


    ¡­


    ¡°This stone wall, you observed it for quite a while earlier. With your realm, you should be able to see its mystery,¡± Gu You pointed at the huge wall in the distance and said, ¡°It¡¯s called the Map of Myriad Stars.¡±


    The Map of Myriad Stars? Li Yuan looked up; the name fit perfectly.


    ¡°This is a treasure for aiding in enlightenment that my father obtained unintentionally. It¡¯s not very useful to divines, but for those below a demigod¡­ it has great benefits, allowing mortals to more quickly touch upon the mysteries of laws,¡± said Gu You.


    Li Yuan nodded, as he had already sensed the marvel of the Map of Myriad Stars.


    ¡°Within three months,¡±


    ¡°You may observe the Map of Myriad Stars for cultivation and to enhance your strength. Whether you can defeat any of the Golden Armored Warriors depends on you,¡± Gu You stated, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°I shall leave now.¡±


    ¡°Oh, and if you feel you can¡¯t pass the trial and want to give up early, you can just call out my name,¡± the girl said with a giggle, ¡°I¡¯ll send you on your way.¡±


    Hum~


    Without a sound, she vanished from the hall.


    ¡­


    The Hall of Inheritance suddenly quieted down, leaving only Li Yuan and the three Golden Armored Warriors staring blankly at each other.


    Compared to the girl in white, the three Golden Armored Warriors were even more dim-witted, not even taking the initiative to speak.


    ¡°Within three months, I¡¯ll defeat the three Golden Armored Warriors? And become a Direct Disciple?¡± Li Yuan looked at the three stout Golden Armored Warriors and mused, ¡°It looks tough to get through.¡±


    ¡°But, I¡¯ve got to give it a try.¡±


    He had already shown his full strength in the first layer of the trial, so Gu You must be aware of it.


    But the fact that she left these three here suggests that she had a certain confidence in him.


    Thinking this,


    Li Yuan stepped forward, ¡°Number three, number two, number one, I¡¯d like to test your strength.¡±


    The three Golden Armored Warriors looked at each other and smiled.


    ¡°We¡¯re just liquid metal automatons left by our master; we don¡¯t deserve the title ¡®senior¡¯. Just call us by our numbers,¡± the third Golden Armored Warrior said with a wide grin, ¡°Let me be the first to test your prowess. Defeat me, and you can challenge number two.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Quickly, Li Yuan and the third Golden Armored Warrior took their positions, standing on opposite sides of the great hall, a hundred meters apart, watching each other.


    The first and second warriors stood to the side, watching with great interest.


    ¡°Big brother, do you think number three can win?¡± The second Golden Armored Warrior asked.


    ¡°This youngster managed to get this far, which means he has notable strength. If Gu You set him a trial, she surely believes he has a chance to pass,¡± said the first Golden Armored Warrior, ¡°Let¡¯s just watch.¡±


    The second Golden Armored Warrior nodded.


    At that moment,


    Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and number three both transformed into afterimages, instantly launching themselves at each other.

 Chapter 367: 250: Map of Myriad Stars_3

    Chapter 367: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars_3


    Hum~


    Li Yuan¡¯s body was instantly covered with an Origin Power Battle Suit, faintly glowing with an earthy yellow light, his aura astonishing.


    But No.3, he appeared more like a War God.


    ¡°Ha!¡± No.3 bellowed angrily, suddenly swinging his Battle Axe.


    Devoid of Origin Power, it was a sheer explosion of strength.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The axe swept across like lightning, the air violently shaking, as if space itself was cleaved in two.


    The speed was terrifying, the might shocking.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Li Yuan also swung his Black Chen Spear, the long spear imbued with Origin Power suddenly bursting forth, the spear horizontally raised, attempting to block the furious chop of the axe.


    Boom!


    The terrifying collision, both sides¡¯ forces of hundreds of thousands of kilograms bursting forth at the same time, a visible shockwave sweeping in all directions¡­ dreadful power impacting both fighters, sending them flying backwards.


    Li Yuan was flung more than ten meters away, while No.3 flew only a few meters, clearly superior in strength.


    ¡°What terrifying power.¡±


    ¡°His strength outbursts far exceed mine, at least a level 27.¡± Li Yuan immediately judged, ¡°However, his Axe Technique is quite rough, apparently not yet reaching the level of Unity of Heaven and Man.¡±


    In terms of strength, the Golden Armored Warrior had an absolute advantage.


    But in terms of skill, Li Yuan had the upper hand.


    ¡°Young lad, your strength is just so-so.¡± No.3 laughed heartily, charging like lightning, followed by another fierce chop with his axe.


    Swish!


    Yet Li Yuan moved in an instant, his movements incredibly agile, instantly dodging that terrifying chop.


    His speed was not fast, yet he always managed to avoid.


    ¡°Such strong movement technique?¡± No.3¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he didn¡¯t hesitate, the axe flipping swiftly, howling as he brought it down towards Li Yuan once more.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!


    One could only see arcs of axe light sweeping across the Vast Sky, their might terrifying¡­ but Li Yuan, apart from occasionally thrusting his spear to block an axe strike, would not forcefully withstand hits. Upon contact, he would move away, most of the time easily shifting his steps to dodge the attacks.


    It was as if he were toying with his opponent, leaving No.3 bellowing in rage, yet utterly helpless.


    After dodging several dozens of times in succession.


    ¡°Kill!¡± when No.3 once again bellowed and struck with his axe.


    ¡°Now is the time.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed, suddenly shifting his position, moving at a strange angle to the side of No.3, his Black Chen Spear exploding out with a potent thrust.


    Fast!


    Precise!


    After dozens of dodges to observe, he became familiar with all of No.3¡¯s combat habits¡­ then seized the opponent¡¯s weakest moment.


    ¡°Splash~¡±


    The spear thrust like a fierce dragon, twisted with astonishing power, and as No.3 looked on furiously and helplessly, the spear tip had already pierced his underarm and abdomen¡­ the dreadful force exploding instantly, completely penetrating No.3¡¯s body.


    For an ordinary Martial Artist, such a wound would no doubt be fatal.


    But No.3 remained as lively as ever, as if the wound on his body had no effect whatsoever.


    ¡°I lost!¡± No.3 said helplessly, ¡°Li Yuan, your spear is really fast.¡±


    As liquid metal golems, they were almost indestructible, their entire bodies essentially lacking any vital points.


    ¡°You¡¯re too gracious.¡± Li Yuan smiled faintly.


    There was a big gap in Physical Quality between them, but it wasn¡¯t outrageously so¡­ and with his superior skills, he naturally could capture the best opportunity for victory.


    ¡°Defeated No.3.¡±


    ¡°At least, I have the qualification to become a nominal disciple.¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    His baseline was secured.


    ¡­


    Before long, the battle between Li Yuan and No.2 Golden Armored Warrior erupted.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± No.2 used a pair of curved swords.


    His strength and speed were on par with No.3, around level 27.


    But his Sword Technique was far superior, his movements flickering, one cut followed by another, causing Li Yuan to retreat step by step.


    Too fast!


    The sword light reached a peak of speed.


    Splash~ A slash of sword light suddenly crossed over, furiously chopping at Li Yuan¡¯s chest. Even as Li Yuan flew back with the flow, the sharp sword light still faintly opened up the Origin Power Battle Suit, the terrifying force shaking his entire body, his blood and Qi nearly boiling.


    A trickle of blood sprayed out.


    Li Yuan was injured.


    ¡°Give up.¡± No.2 smiled, ¡°Kid, I suggest you practice more, try to defeat No.1 within three months and¡­¡±


    Suddenly No.2¡¯s expression changed.


    Because Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique suddenly transformed, from the previous wide open and swift motions to a rolling and vast surge, it was like a huge vortex, seemingly sucking in No.2.


    Easily blocking all of No.2¡¯s moves.


    ¡°Impressive, such quick Sword Technique, I thought I could last until No.1 before using my True Intent move.¡± Li Yuan silently thought.


    With the conventional Stellar Spear Technique, although the moves were slightly more profound than No.2¡¯s,


    The difference in strength was too great.


    He must use the True Intent move!!


    ¡°Splash~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s long spear moved like a star streaking across the sky, once it rolled out massively, the force became unimaginably great, whether sweeping or thrusting ferociously¡­ pressing layer by layer towards No.2.


    Li Yuan gave it his all.


    And so, after hundreds of strikes.


    Li Yuan showed no signs of waning, whereas No.2 finally couldn¡¯t hold on, his swords slowing dramatically.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Spear Technique flowed continuously, each move unceasing, and finally Li Yuan¡¯s sudden thrust crossed No.2¡¯s throat, also slicing through his golden skin, shedding plenty of fluid.


    The outcome was decided.


    ¡°I lost?¡± No.2, his throat rapidly healing, spoke somewhat helplessly, ¡°Big brother, this little guy, it seems only you can take care of him.¡±


    ¡°Haha, my turn.¡± The No.1 Golden Armored Warrior who had been sitting on the side as a spectator finally revealed a smile. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Chapter 368: Chapter 250: Map of Myriad Stars_4


    ¡°Another victory.¡±


    ¡°Now an Inner Sect disciple, a divine disciple of the Inner Sect,¡± Li Yuan felt quite anticipative, unable to help but glance toward the number one warrior standing at the edge of the great hall.


    As long as he defeated the opponent, he could become a Direct Disciple.


    ¡­


    Two minutes later, Li Yuan¡¯s exchange with the number one Golden Armored Warrior concluded.


    Li Yuan¡ªdefeated miserably!


    The speed and strength of the number one warrior weren¡¯t much different from those of the second and third warriors, what truly made him formidable was his skill, his Sword Technique.


    Even though Li Yuan was mentally prepared, and both sides went all out from the moment they crossed spears¡­ the number one Golden Armored Warrior was just too formidable, his skill level far exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    Fifth Stage High Rank!


    Not only was his strength and speed a great deal stronger than Li Yuan¡¯s, but his skills were also so much more formidable.


    Even when Li Yuan deployed his True Intent Killing Move, it still didn¡¯t give him an advantage over the number one warrior; he remained at a disadvantage.


    Ultimately, after exchanging hundreds of moves, S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan was still sent flying by a slash, crashing heavily against the Divine Pillar at the side of the temple, towering hundreds of meters.


    The material of the Divine Pillar was unknown, its surface incredibly smooth, and even a collision from Li Yuan left not the slightest mark.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost, do you still want to continue fighting?¡± the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile, ¡°If we keep fighting, I¡¯m afraid I might not control my strength and accidentally kill you.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m still lacking,¡± Li Yuan said with a resigned smile, ¡°When I have trained, I will definitely defeat you.¡±


    ¡°Haha, good!¡±


    ¡­


    After crossing spears with the three great Golden Armored Warriors and attaining the ¡®Inner Sect Disciple¡¯ status, Li Yuan returned to the Map of Myriad Stars.


    ¡°It seems, becoming a Direct Disciple directly and receiving the legacy is not possible for now.¡±


    ¡°Defeat the number one warrior?¡± Li Yuan recalled the battle scene just now.


    The gap in strength was too big.


    ¡°On the one hand, I must improve my Physical Quality, striving to close the gap between our physical qualities,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°On the other hand, I must also continue to hone my skills.¡±


    ¡°Three months?¡±


    ¡°Now that I¡¯m practicing with the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ and have this Map of Myriad Stars, let¡¯s see how far I can go.¡± Li Yuan was filled with anticipation.


    Ever since attaining the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡¯ he had not had the chance to practice it properly.


    ¡°Stellar True Intent.¡±


    Looking up toward the Map of Myriad Stars, Li Yuan¡¯s formidable spiritual power perceived the subtle and profound fluctuations emanating from it.


    Hum~


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Perfect Star Vein began to circulate within his body, and the first Rank 9 level of the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ also fully erupted, making his comprehension of the Map of Myriad Stars all the clearer.


    Time passed.


    ¡°All talk and no practice, just looking doesn¡¯t seem to bring deep comprehension,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    He stood up, and a Black Chen Spear appeared in his hand, beginning to execute the Spear Technique in line with the many thoughts in his mind.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    The Long Spear moved like a dragon, drawing mysterious forces from heaven and earth, vaguely interweaving countless resplendent lights at the tip of the spear.


    ¡°Not quite right.¡±


    ¡°It should be fiercer, my Spear Technique should be more ferocious,¡± Li Yuan followed his own intuition, practicing his Spear Technique wholeheartedly, tirelessly integrating his many insights into the technique.


    Everything was for the sake of increasing the power of his Spear Technique.


    ¡°The lad has started practicing the spear.¡±


    ¡°Wanting to defeat the elder brother isn¡¯t easy. Three months? Can he make it?¡± the third and second warrior watched from a distance, as Li Yuan practiced the spear alone.


    As metal puppets, they lacked the ability to learn; their physical strength could change, but their skills could not.


    ¡°Difficult!¡±


    ¡°Becoming a Direct Disciple is inherently arduous.¡± The third and second warrior both felt that Li Yuan had a very slim hope of becoming a Direct Disciple.


    Days passed by, one after another.


    Li Yuan kept training incessantly, and after just ten days,


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This kid, he can fight to this extent with the elder brother? His growth is too fast.¡± The third and second warrior were both somewhat astonished watching Li Yuan¡¯s exchange with the number one warrior inside the hall.


    ¡°Three months?¡±


    ¡°With such a rate of progress, maybe in just one month, he might have the hope of defeating the elder brother.¡±

 Chapter 369: 251: Why Not Change the Shield? Li Yuans Path of Spear Technique (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 369: Chapter 251: Why Not Change the Shield? Li Yuan¡¯s Path of Spear Technique (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    In the center of the Divine Palace, a space wide enough for hundreds of meters, large enough for two Prime Warriors at high levels to engage in a grand battle.


    And the entire Divine Palace was so solid that, no matter how they unleashed their explosive power, it wouldn¡¯t cause the slightest damage to the Divine Pillars or the floor.


    ¡°Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s long spear in hand danced about, like several agile serpents soaring, fast and fierce, yet it didn¡¯t cause much disturbance in the air, repeatedly slamming against the Golden Armored Warrior number one.


    Warrior number one held a huge combat saber in hand, its light fluttering and continuous, time and time again blocking the assaults of Li Yuan¡¯s long spear.


    ¡°His Spear Technique, amidst its unrelenting persistence, has gained an additional ferocity compared to two days ago, becoming even more unpredictable and fierce in attack,¡± Warrior number one¡¯s eyes were focused, fully committed to defending against the attacks from Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique.


    On the first day of sparring with Li Yuan, he, relying on his own advantage in Sword Technique and by drawing upon a more formidable power from the heaven and earth, combined with superior Physical Quality, was able to suppress Li Yuan easily with absolute strength and speed!


    But as time passed¡­


    The second day, the third day¡­ especially after the fifth day, Warrior number one felt the drastic changes in Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique; it was no longer straightforward, becoming gradually more agile.


    The attacks became increasingly bizarre.


    ¡°Previously, he was only focused on defense, trying to purely withstand and block my attacks,¡± Warrior number one could sense clearly, ¡°Now it seems, he is embarking on a new path with his Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, the pointers I gave on the fourth day seem to have been quite helpful to him,¡± Warrior number one thought to himself.


    Although the change in Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique wasn¡¯t fully complete, a trend was already showing.


    ¡°I still need to push him harder,¡± Warrior number one pondered in secret.


    The three of them, as Golden Armored Warriors, were the final test¡¯s Gatekeepers, but not merely that.


    They also undertook the task of ¡®actual combat sparring¡¯.


    Guarding the gate was not the goal; how to make the challenger stronger, how to help them break through the obstacles more quickly¡­ that was their true purpose.


    ¡­


    ¡°Huff! Huff!¡±


    Inside Li Yuan, the Perfect Star Vein operated, with over eleven thousand Life Stars suddenly shining brightly¡­ their vigorous rotation also made Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique resonate more with the natural fluctuation of the world, and its might had greatly increased once again.


    The spear like rolling stars, one move seamlessly connected to another, amid the continuous flow of his Spear Technique now erupted with furious energy, making its might even more astonishing.


    Following another collision.


    Boom! Li Yuan was suddenly forced to retreat, but Warrior number one did not pursue.


    ¡°Haha, thank you, Senior number one, for showing mercy,¡± Li Yuan laughed heartily.


    ¡°Li Yuan, lad, your Spear Technique has changed since yesterday, the attack is stronger, and I almost have to go full force to suppress you,¡± Golden Armored Warrior number one also sheathed his combat saber, expressing his sentiment.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan smiled and nodded, feeling the other¡¯s restraint in power.


    Except for the first day of their encounter when Golden Armored Warrior number one unleashed his full strength, allowing Li Yuan to experience his limit¡­ every day thereafter, he only revealed strength that was just a bit stronger than Li Yuan¡¯s.


    He was purely there to spar with him.


    ¡°Impressive.¡±


    ¡°Haha, we can all see, Li Yuan, that even our big brother is having a tougher time defending against your Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°Such rapid progress, truly envious.¡±


    ¡°Unlike us, having lived so long, there¡¯s scarcely been any change in our skills,¡± the other two Golden Armored Warriors couldn¡¯t help but speak out.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    At their first meeting, he thought the three Golden Armored Warriors were dull, but after more contact, he felt differently; their wisdom seemed quite high, and they were very talkative.


    They were like people who had been holding back for a long time, finally encountering someone and needing to vent thoroughly.


    In addition to practicing his Spear Technique,


    Li Yuan was also happy to interact with them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re on the right path with your Spear Technique,¡± Golden Armored Warrior number one said, ¡°After all, I¡¯m just a puppet, I can only give you some advice; the cultivation of your skills ultimately depends on your own comprehension.¡±


    ¡°Even the great master only left the Map of Myriad Stars to provide you with some guidance, rather than telling you exactly how to walk each step,¡± Warrior number one continued.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°But Senior was right that day, practicing the Spear Technique should follow my own heart,¡± Li Yuan smiled and said.


    Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts drifted back to the fourth day.


    Since the first day, he spars with Golden Armored Warrior number one for a long time each day to test what he has learned¡­ but the progress and gains on the first three days were not too significant.


    Until the fourth day, after another round of sparring.


    At that time, Warrior number one finally voiced his uncertainty: ¡°Li Yuan, you have high Comprehension and fast skill advancement, but your Spear Technique seems too rigidly fixed on one path, too focused on defense, and too intent on making the Spear Technique conform to the so-called core mysteries of ¡®Defense¡¯ and ¡®Thickness¡¯ of the Earth Vein.¡±


    ¡°But I wonder if your elders ever told you, the Earth Vein is not purely about defense.¡±


    ¡°Any Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything, the Earth Vein contains many True Intents¡­ when furious, it can burst like the stars, when continuous, it rolls like magma, as thick as the boundless earth, with endless dead silence, and also the vitality that breeds everything.¡±


    ¡°And the Spear Technique should be more flexible and versatile, although you follow the Earth Vein towards the ¡®Law of Earth,¡¯ you shouldn¡¯t be so rigid.¡±


    ¡°The spear is not a shield.¡±


    ¡°If you truly love the path of defense so much, I think you could change weapons, like to a shield.¡±


    ¡°Why not change to a shield?¡±


    ¡°Reaching the Fifth Stage Skill level, any weapon can fully display its power, but why do different experts choose different weapons? It¡¯s because of what they love in their hearts.¡±


    ¡°The spear should lean towards offense,¡± Warrior number one said quite seriously, ¡°Of course, this is just my personal opinion, it might not be entirely correct, you can take it as a reference.¡±


    At that moment, Boom!


    The words of Warrior number one.


    Especially that phrase ¡®Why not change to a shield?¡¯, like a thunderclap in clear skies, instantly awakened Li Yuan, and also vaguely opened up countless thoughts in his heart.


    Indeed, his Spear Technique.


    It indeed had become a bit too rigid!


    From the very beginning, learning the ¡°Solid Rock Spear Technique,¡± to the ¡°Stellar Spear Technique,¡± and then to the ¡°Meaning of the Stellar,¡± those Spear Techniques, more or less, emphasized a defensive core.


    From the Spear Technique moves like ¡°Solid Rock Pillar¡± and ¡°Stellar Illumination,¡± it could be seen, unknowingly, those Secret Manuals were also influencing Li Yuan¡¯s inner choices.


    The secret manual guided him, and combined with Li Yuan¡¯s own comprehension, it led to extremely rapid progress, so much so that the first True Intent Killing Move he created, ¡®Stellar Whirlpool,¡¯ was biased towards defense.


    All along, this path Li Yuan walked felt very normal.


    But, was it correct?


    ¡°Why did I choose Spear Technique at the beginning, instead of the sword and shield that most powerful warriors would opt for?¡± At that time, Li Yuan suddenly recalled the original purpose of practicing the spear as a youth, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it because I loved the spear¡¯s fluidity and carefreeness?¡±


    ¡°Even back in high school when I transitioned from boxing to spear, even before I encountered the ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique,¡¯ the first time I creatied a similar move on my own, it was more biased towards offense with the ¡®Dragon Hidden in the Rock Chasm.¡¯


    The Earth Vein¡¯s Laws and the Great Dao have no fixed shapes; defense is not the absolute core.


    But the core of Spear Technique must be offense.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t I switch to a shield? Because my initial love was for the Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan realized at that moment.


    Pursuing the path of defense is not wrong.


    However, to blindly chase after an absolute defense in Spear Technique is to lose sight of the essence.


    ¡°When did I start thinking this way?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s it!¡±


    ¡°From the time I entered the Fifth Stage Skill and began learning ¡®Solid Rock Spear Technique,¡¯ and later ¡®Stellar Spear Technique,¡¯ even up to ¡®Meaning of the Stellar,¡¯ each step reinforced this mindset,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Yet whether it was Teacher Li Yang, or Dean Hai, or even the principal, none of them ever persuaded me against it.¡±


    Li Yuan understood the reason.


    These teachers and seniors might not be oblivious.


    Especially Principal Fang Hai, who was on the threshold of the Law, could he be completely unaware?


    But why did they not try to advise him?


    Because his progress in skill was too rapid, to the point where not even top-tier geniuses like Dantai Feng could keep up¡­ This made the elders hesitant to definitively say he was on the wrong path.


    If it were the wrong path, how could Spear Technique have advanced so terrifyingly if it was not in accord with his inner self?


    But in fact, it wasn¡¯t that this path completely suited Li Yuan; it was because his talent in Spear Technique and Earth Vein was too high, and this terrifying talent only manifested more and more as he progressed.


    The Visualization Method of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace only strengthened his spiritual and willpower¡­ but it couldn¡¯t change his comprehension.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization ultimately hasn¡¯t been engaged in Martial Arts Cultivation and Life Evolution for long; many things are still in their infancy. Just like with cultivation above the Fifth Stage Skill¡­ many seniors dare not give a broad direction for fear of misguiding, and the rest is up to one¡¯s own discernment,¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°Therefore, since I¡¯m still improving rapidly, that¡¯s why the Principal, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others naturally let me practice on my own.¡±


    ¡°Number One Fighter may not have the same level of skill realm as Principal Fang Hai, but he follows a Divine Being and has a much higher perspective. He carries no burden regarding me in his heart. Even though he saw my rapid progress, he felt something was off about my path and spoke out directly.¡±


    ¡­


    Therefore, from the fourth day after arriving at the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance Hall, Li Yuan completely awakened.


    ¡°The spear has no fixed form, nor does the Law have a constant shape,¡± Li Yuan murmured. ¡°Spear Technique should be more adept in offense, not just pure defense.¡±


    ¡°The Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything and doesn¡¯t dictate one must follow the path of defense.¡±


    From that day on, Li Yuan truly changed.


    He picked up the long spear once again.


    He deliberately began to forget ¡®Stellar Spear Technique,¡¯ forget ¡®Meaning of the Stellar,¡¯ forget the many Second Rank and Third Rank secret manuals he learned in the ¡®Seven Star Civilization.¡¯


    Everything started with practicing the spear according to his own heart.


    Just like in high school, after learning and mastering the basic spear moves, he trained entirely based on his own preferences¡­ and then he fumbled upon the move ¡®Dragon Hidden in the Rock Chasm,¡¯ which propelled him into the Third Stage Skill.


    The present Li Yuan.


    His spiritual power grew stronger, he had higher compatibility with the Earth Vein, his mind underwent multiple transformations¡­ but the earnest love for Spear Technique that began in his youth never changed.


    ¡°Observing the Myriad Stars Chart.¡±


    ¡°Practice the spear!¡±

    Li Yuan then ate and drank his fill.


    He had prepared these high-energy foods and water in his storage treasure well in advance before entering the Divine Palace ruins; he had an ample supply of them.


    In reality, the majority of a Prime Warrior¡¯s energy comes from refining the Origin Power in nature; food and water are merely supplementary.


    Moreover, the Hall of Inheritance provided ¡®nutritional food¡¯ so that the challenger wouldn¡¯t starve.


    It¡¯s just that the provided nutritional food tasted very bad.


    Then, Li Yuan returned to the enormous stone wall and began another observation and Spear Technique cultivation session


    Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh~


    The stars rolled like waves crashing against everything, bringing a sense of heaviness along with a hint of wildness and unrestrainedness, which dramatically increased the offensive might.


    ¡°This is the Spear Technique my heart yearns for,¡± Li Yuan revealed a faint smile, growing increasingly joyous.


    ¡°In the past, I pursued the Mysteries of True Intent and stronger defense even more, but I somewhat lost sight of the true essence.¡±


    ¡°The Mysteries of True Intent are fine, or the profound mysteries of the universe¡¯s motion for that matter, they should serve me, not the other way around.¡±


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue were in deep cultivation at the core of the Relic Divine Palace.


    Time passed day by day.


    The outside world, however, was already in turmoil.


    Within a war fortress of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, in a vast conference room, no less than ten figures gathered.


    ¡°Gentlemen, I have just arrived here,¡± a deep voice spoke up. ¡°How long has Li Yuan been in the Divine Palace ruins?¡±


    He was a towering figure resembling a brown bear, donned in heavy metal armor, his hair unkempt, slightly disheveled, yet his overpowering aura made those nearby, like Yu Jinghai and others, feel somewhat suppressed.


    He was none other than the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s greatest Prime Warrior of the present age, Lude Nef, from Feixing, who had more than one Flying Heaven Level Alien Race death on his hands.


    Everyone turned to look at him, then exchanged glances with each other.


    ¡°Lude Nef,¡± Wu Manong spoke slowly. ¡°He¡¯s been inside for fourteen days¡­ still no news, and we can¡¯t confirm whether he¡¯s alive or dead.¡±

    Chapter 370: Chapter 252: Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)


    ¡°`


    ¡°Fourteen days? Not a whisper of news?¡±


    Lude Nef slightly furrowed his brows, ¡°Why has the Blazing Flame Family been so adamant that ¡®Lin Lanyue¡¯ is still alive?¡±


    He glanced towards Yanjun Ling and Flame Cloud Fox, who were beside him.


    It was the Blazing Flame Family who insisted that Lin Lanyue was definitely still alive.


    ¡°Lude Nef,¡± Flame Cloud Fox said in a low voice, ¡°you should be aware that the bloodline of our Blazing Flame Family is not like that of ordinary people. It contains a trace of the ¡®Blazing Flame Bloodline¡¯; those who can awaken it have a great chance of attaining the Flying Heaven Level by cultivating the ¡®Nirvana Divine Scripture¡¯.¡±


    Lude Nef nodded slightly, with Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe also listening.


    Bloodline awakening could lead to a chance at Flying Heaven?


    In the Seven Star Civilization, there were not just one high Spiritual Nature clan boosting the entire civilization significantly. Bloodline, in essence, is about having several almost identical Star Meridians awakening within the body.


    A common Prime Warrior might struggle greatly to awaken four Star Meridians, but these Bloodline Awakeners could very easily awaken to possess Five-Star Meridians ¡­ becoming Flying Heaven Warriors is naturally effortless for them.


    ¡°As for Lin Lanyue, her bloodline is even more special. After many tests by the family, the Demigod of Flame City affirmed that she held great promise within the Relic Divine Palace,¡± said Flame Cloud Fox. ¡°For this purpose, the Demigod even took out a special Secret Treasure ¡®Bloodline Token¡¯ to ascertain her life or death.¡±


    ¡°Bloodline Tokens are rare in our family as well,¡± Flame Cloud Fox added.


    His explanation was not very clear, such as what was special about Lin Lanyue.


    But it did explain the situation.


    ¡°Before Li Yuan entered the Divine Palace ruins, did he not make any contingency plans?¡± Lude Nef frowned and looked at Wu Manong.


    ¡°Some plans were made,¡± Wu Manong said softly. ¡°He even specially fortified for two extra days¡­ But we could not restrict him; he is the actual strongest in the Worlds within Worlds.¡±


    ¡°If he wanted to venture into the Relic Divine Palace, could we have possibly stopped him?¡± Wu Manong asked.


    Lude Nef nodded slightly. A supreme genius himself, he naturally understood Li Yuan¡¯s mindset.


    With such an opportunity ahead, how could one not take the risk?


    ¡°Flame Cloud Fox, how long have members of your family stayed inside before emerging alive?¡± Lude Nef asked Flame Cloud Fox.


    ¡°Those who awoke their bloodline, the longest was 22 days before they came out alive. Those without bloodline awakening, the longest was 7 days¡­ As for someone like Li Yuan, a non-Fire System warrior, the longest was 5 days,¡± Flame Cloud Fox said gravely. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A hush fell over the room.


    They looked at each other in the meeting room, all picking up on Flame Cloud Fox¡¯s subtext ¨C Li Yuan was very likely dead inside the Relic Divine Palace.


    After all, it was a world left behind by a Fire System Divine.


    ¡°Gentlemen, don¡¯t overthink it,¡± Wu Manong spoke.


    ¡°It¡¯s only been 14 days, not 24 or 34,¡± Wu Manong continued softly. ¡°I have already reported to the upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance, and they have instructed us to continue waiting patiently¡­ Currently, our Seven Star Alliance has over ten thousand First Rank warriors in the Worlds within Worlds and over two hundred Prime Warriors, having thoroughly scoured and seized control over the situation.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is still unaware of our specific arrangements. They do not know that Li Yuan has fallen into the Relic Divine Palace¡­ so they should not dare to rashly send more people in,¡± Wu Manong said.


    ¡°We need not concern ourselves with Li Yuan¡¯s life or death for now,¡± Wu Manong stated somberly.


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Although they marveled at Li Yuan¡¯s peerless talent, if he really died within the Relic Divine Palace, they would merely regret it for a moment.


    Throughout the history of the Seven Star Civilization, many geniuses have perished while adventuring through the myriad Star Realms.


    ¡°What¡¯s crucial now is our position in the Star Realm,¡± Wu Manong said. ¡°According to intelligence, the passage occupied by the Gu Yue Divine Palace is right at their newly established ¡®Outpost Number Four¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The batch of Prime Warriors preparing to break through to become Flying Heaven Warriors have also reached the Outpost Number Four,¡± he continued.


    ¡°We,¡± Wu Manong paused slightly, then said slowly, ¡°are confirming if we should strike.¡±


    Light flickered in everyone¡¯s eyes.


    Indeed!


    Upon learning of the planned attack from Mintian Hou of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, along with several other Demigods, after deliberation, the high command of the Seven Star Civilization had issued an order ¨C to attack!


    Not to defend passively, but to strike actively.


    To make a proactive assault!!


    Just as other Foreign Civilizations would attempt to infiltrate the Seven Star Civilization¡­ The Seven Star Civilization would naturally strive to establish their own agents and spy networks within other civilizations.


    Even for a vast civilization like the Immortal Ruins Civilization, which faced no existential threats, internal strife was immensely intense¡­ There were far too many Demigods willing to sell intelligence about Mintian Hou.


    Most of these intelligence-selling Demigods would have many ¡®Alien Race friends¡¯.


    It was quite normal for friends to exchange intelligence resources.


    Now, the Seven Star Civilization had precise intelligence that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had dispatched eight Prime Warriors whose skills had achieved Fifth Stage Perfection and Sixth Stage, about to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    All had arrived at Outpost Number Four.


    ¡°Jian Shi, Dorothy, have both of you consolidated your realms completely?¡± Lude Nef suddenly asked, looking towards two figures standing at the end of the meeting room.


    ¡°We have consolidated them,¡± they replied.


    ¡°We are ready to join the battle at any time,¡± Jian Shi and Dorothy said in turn.


    The two of them were recently dispatched by the Seven Star Alliance and had volunteered to break through to become Flying Heaven Warriors in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°For the sacrifices you¡¯ve made,¡± Lude Nef sighed lightly.


    ¡°Haha, what¡¯s there to mind about permanently residing in the Fierce Feather Star Realm? It¡¯s no trouble,¡± Jian Shi laughed. ¡°I¡¯ve long been prepared for this.¡±


    ¡°In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, we¡¯ll be the bosses from now on. That¡¯s pretty good, living freely and unrestrainedly,¡± Dorothy also said with a smile. ¡°Besides, there¡¯s a breeding area here, and the whole Star Realm is vast¡­ Not boring to live out an entire lifetime here.¡±

    Both of them were very calm.


    Now, among the ten people in this meeting room, besides the original six, two Prime Warrior prodigies, Lude Nef and An Yongya, had arrived.


    As well as two newly promoted Flying Heaven Warriors, Jian Shi and Dorothy.


    In total, ten Flying Heaven level combat strengths.


    ¡°Good,¡±


    ¡°To avoid any unexpected complications, let¡¯s set off tonight. Over ten thousand kilometers, we can reach our destination within a day,¡±


    ¡°Given the speed of a Prime Warrior¡¯s breakthrough, it¡¯s unlikely to be completed in just a day or two, let alone to cultivate Star Techniques to a higher rank, our combat strength is at its lowest ebb,¡±


    ¡°And this base is just a forward outpost of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom; their technology weapons are pretty average,¡± Lude Nef said solemnly, ¡°An Yongya, Fierce Cloud Fox, the two of you stay behind, everyone else follows me.¡±


    ¡°Make all the preparations,¡± Lude Nef¡¯s gaze swept over them as he continued solemnly, ¡°In a word, the first battle is the decisive battle, a single fight will determine the fate.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± everyone responded solemnly; they all knew how crazy this plan was.


    Eight Flying Heaven level combat forces, of which five were Prime Warrior prodigies and three were Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Thousands of miles for a strike!!


    ¡°As long as we kill off their batch of reserve Flying Heaven Warriors, it will take Gu Yue Divine Kingdom a long time to muster up so many people again,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s eyes flickered with killing intent.


    Reserve Prime Warriors? Any civilization can present many, like this time fighting for the World within Worlds, both civilizations easily mobilized hundreds, and that was just a fraction of their forces.


    But reserve Flying Heaven Warriors? Their numbers are much fewer.


    As for Lude Nef, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, who are Prime Warriors at the Sixth Stage? They are even considered top prodigies, with each fall causing their respective powers great distress.


    It can be said.


    This surprise attack plan orchestrated by the Seven Star Civilization, sending six top prodigies at once, is very risky.


    But that is an indispensable step on the road for every weak civilization to rise¡­ whether it be the exalted Demigods or the lower Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors.


    Prodigies? When it comes to critical moments, they must also step forward to fight.


    That night.


    Eight powerful beings with Flying Heaven level strength had already left the war base quietly, heading for a region thousands of miles away that was occupied by Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Flying Heaven Warriors can fly through the skies and travel underground on their own.


    Prime Warriors, if they control the True Intent of heaven and earth, can also travel through the sky with the help of the power of heaven and earth.


    ¡­


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm is quite desolate, with not many precious resources.


    Therefore, although there have been invasions by several Foreign Civilizations, the only one that has amassed a significant force and established a reproductive area is the Seven Star human civilization, and this reproductive area is actually promoted by the ¡®Demigod of Flame City¡¯¡­ whereas countries like Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have only established a few outposts.


    After all, with no valuable resources to gain, why keep Flying Heaven level powerhouses stationed here permanently?


    Nineteen hours later, three proud suns hung above the earth, and their crimson light enveloped the land. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The ¡®Outpost Number Four¡¯ of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    This outpost base, which is directly controlled by ¡®Mintian Hou¡¯, used to be unremarkable¡­ but recently, the whole base is under continuous expansion and construction, with more aircraft arriving.


    A busy scene of construction.


    Suddenly¡ª


    In the sky above the base, numerous twisted light rays returned to normal, and immediately afterward, seven formidable figures appeared, standing in the air with radiant light shining all over their bodies, as dazzling as Heavenly Divines.


    In an instant.


    ¡°Beep~¡± At this moment, the war fortress, towering a hundred meters, suddenly sounded an alarm, with frantic blaring, and at the same time, everyone from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom inside the base received a warning¡ªFlying Heaven assault.


    ¡°It¡¯s Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Human-shaped! They are Flying Heaven Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization, seven of them, be careful.¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Almost instantly, Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s entire outpost base erupted, with numerous weapon ports emerging, and countless kinetic energy weapons began to automatically attack.


    They rained down towards the sky.


    ¡°Dada dada~¡± ¡°Da!!¡± Around the war base, similarly, hidden ¡®fortresses¡¯ emerged, attacking from all directions.


    The war erupted in an instant.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± In the high sky, Wu Manong, Tavares, Abbott, Jian Shi and other powerful beings exploded with energy, instantly drawing Origin Power, the power of heaven and earth, their speed far exceeding the speed of sound in a flash.


    They dove towards the ground below.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The earth roared, the ground cracked, and one after another, the peripheral weapons towers were uprooted and collapsed¡­ The explosion of Flying Heaven level combat strength was not something ordinary technology weapons could withstand.


    Most automatic weapons couldn¡¯t even aim properly.


    Even if some technological weapons could attack the Flying Heaven Warriors atop¡­ with the protection of strong Origin Power and the Origin Power Battle Suit, it was hard to inflict fatal damage on them.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Above the war fortress, the towering main weapon tower, tens of meters tall, was violently torn apart, countless pieces of steel fell, and smoke filled the air¡­ Terrifying figures were wreaking havoc at will.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Destroy all the weapon towers first!¡±


    ¡°Kill all the personnel that can be killed, all of them,¡± Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and Wu Manong were utterly ruthless, slaughtering wildly.


    It wasn¡¯t that they were bloodthirsty.


    But in the struggle between civilizations, life and death, no one could spare any efforts.


    Just like before, Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s surprise attack caused heavy casualties on the Seven Star Alliance¡¯s side.


    Now, under a surprise attack as well, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s side had virtually no power to resist, and the casualties were bound to reach an astonishing level.


    Suddenly¡ª

    ¡°`


    Boom! Numerous figures burst forth from the earth, shooting up into the sky; they were ablaze with dazzling light, their momentum as unstoppable as a rainbow. Witnessing the scene at the war base, they were filled with rage: ¡°Seven Star Civilization, you¡¯re courting death!¡±


    ¡°How dare you?¡±


    ¡°A weak Fourth Level Civilization dares to provoke us? They must be exterminated!¡±


    ¡°Slaughter them all.¡± The five great Flying Heaven Level powerhouses from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were furious, most of them having just recently broken through.


    They immediately took action, attempting to stop Yu Jinghe and Wu Manong from their bloody slaughter.


    Silently.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± Suddenly, a brilliant blade light appeared from the darkness, splitting the heavens and earth in two in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon a Flying Heaven Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Eerie!


    Unpredictable!


    Irresistible!


    ¡°Not good.¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was shocked and angry, immediately swinging his weapon, a war hammer emanating dazzling light, trying to block this abrupt and eerie blade light.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The horrific collision of the two great warriors¡¯ weapons generated an astonishing shock wave that exploded in all directions, sending the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s Flying Heaven Warrior flying backward.


    His blood churned within him, and he couldn¡¯t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    ¡°I survived?¡± The thought had just flashed through his mind, accompanied by a sense of relief.


    ¡°Be careful!¡± A cry of alarm rang out.


    Splurt~


    Another stroke of blade light burst out unexpectedly from behind him, instantly sweeping over his head. The terrifying power contained within the blade light erupted, creating countless splinters of light, instantly tearing the body of the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡¯s Flying Heaven Warrior to pieces.


    Dead!


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°Dorudos.¡±


    ¡°Damn Seven Star people.¡± The other Flying Heaven Warriors¡¯ eyes turned bloodshot.


    Only then did they get a clear look.


    In the void, there was an illusionary, robust figure with messy hair; his eyes were cold. The man stood there, his hands gripping a giant combat saber, looking every bit the War God.


    Hum~


    Silently, the robust figure vanished in an instant, the air trembling faintly¡ªa stealth in the void.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Sixth Layer Star Technique ¡®Wind Shadow¡¯!¡± S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s Lude Nef from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Run.¡± The remaining four Flying Heaven Warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom turned pale, immediately realizing who the newcomer was.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Li Yuan, residing in the deepest part of the World within Worlds, was unaware of the all-out war that had erupted within the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    He was still patiently practicing, on the sixteenth day since he had entered.


    Inside the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°Rumble!¡±


    Li Yuan, with the Black Chen Spear in hand, displayed fierce and powerful spear techniques, erupting like a volcano, extremely formidable, as he fought with the first Golden Armored Warrior.


    ¡°The Meaning of the Stellar, seamless and perfect, is capable of encompassing and withstanding everything at the right time.¡± The spear techniques Li Yuan used had lost much of their heaviness and continuity.


    Instead, it was wild!


    ¡°But the Stellar Spear also has an explosively aggressive side, to shatter all enemies before it.¡± Li Yuan was completely following his own heart to use the ¡°Meaning of the Stellar¡± as taught by the Bai Shan Semi-Divine, which wasn¡¯t entirely suitable for him.


    The comprehension of True Intent was right there.


    It was contained in the mysterious movements of heaven and earth, accessible to anyone¡¯s understanding and deductions¡­ But how far one can take the Mysteries of True Intent depends entirely on the individual.


    Some who are skilled with shields will comprehend Defense Techniques.


    Those adept in swordsmanship or with a long spear tend to have moves more inclined toward offense.


    Those who use both sword and shield, or spear shield, often find their techniques more balanced.


    Among the Seven Star Civilization, several Semi-Divine beings cultivate the Earth Vein, but only Bai Shan Semi-Divine was able to describe the Stellar True Intent fairly completely in the form of a Secret Manual.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine excelled in defense, so the Secret Manual he compiled naturally showed this inclination.


    ¡°Stellar.¡±


    ¡°Its attacks, though not as scorching as blazing fire, that massive and expansive nature, once rolling forth in all its majesty, is also most terrifying.¡± Li Yuan was inspired by the first warrior.


    Over this half month, he contemplated the Map of Myriad Stars again.


    Staying in this Hall of Inheritance, he had no distractions¡­ For Li Yuan, this was the best environment he had ever had to practice his spear techniques.


    The most pure training environment.


    The more he practiced, the more exhilarated Li Yuan felt, driven purely by the pursuit of the limits of spear technique, aiming for an even more carefree heart.


    ¡°This Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique is getting more and more ferocious and fierce.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s progressing so fast.¡± The first Golden Armored Warrior was increasingly astonished as they sparred today: ¡°At this rate, could it be that even this body of mine is barely able to restrain him now?¡±


    This golden armor was not his true body, but merely a projection of his consciousness.


    In the past, he had encountered many Martial Path geniuses.


    Even the disciples of the divine had crossed his path¡­ But the first warrior had to admit, such a terrifying rate of skill advancement was something he had never heard of before.


    Suddenly.


    In another collision during their exchange, Li Yuan¡¯s long spear thrust forward abruptly, activating the power of heaven and earth to form hundreds of illusory spear shadows, like a star exploding, an overwhelmingly terrifying power that enveloped the first Golden Armored Warrior.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°To invoke the power of heaven and earth to such an extent?¡± The first Golden Armored Warrior¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Has he broken through?¡±


    From the Fifth Stage Initial Rank, one¡¯s moves gradually carry the power of heaven and earth, becoming more and more forceful.


    But to directly use the power of heaven and earth to form spear shadows and such phenomena? That is an extremely high realm.


    Therefore, with the eyesight of the first Golden Armored Warrior, he instantly deduced¡ªLi Yuan had made a breakthrough.


    After half a month of practicing in the Hall of Inheritance, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique had finally undergone a qualitative change from quantitative change.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The techniques of the first warrior also changed instantly, from fierce to flowing and expansive, even causing faint sounds of trickling water to appear in the void.

 Chapter 373: 252: Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)_4

    Chapter 373: Chapter 252: Star Realm War Begins! Li Yuan Breaks Through (Extra 41)_4


    His sword technique, likewise, invoked an astonishing strength of heaven and earth and had truly reached the state of ¡®technique approaching the Way, summoning heaven and earth, displaying worldly phenomena¡¯.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Clang clang clang clang!¡± Sword light and spear shadows collided time and again, and despite the long spear¡¯s fierce ferocity, it was completely countered by the flowing water-like sword light.


    However, the number one warrior did not pursue defeating Li Yuan, purely on the defensive.


    ¡°He¡¯s actually forced big brother to break limits.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s passed the test.¡±


    ¡°Just half a month, eh.¡± Both the third and second Golden Armored Warriors were quite astonished and sighed.


    Their true bodies were extremely terrifying in strength, and their skill realms were also very high¡­ The bodies they had split off were only a minimal part of their true selves, with limited contained power.


    As gatekeepers, the level of skills they could display was similarly restricted.


    Forcing the number one Golden Armored Warrior to use power and sword technique beyond his limits¡­ had already signified that Li Yuan met the requirements for becoming a ¡®direct disciple¡¯ of the Earth System Divine.


    ¡°Li Yuan must have had an enlightenment.¡±


    ¡°Big brother probably wants to let him not waste the effect of the sudden enlightenment, sparring with him in training.¡± The two Golden Armored Warriors discerned their elder brother¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡­


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°This is the feeling, truly comfortable.¡± Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This is the ¡®Stellar Spear Technique¡¯ that truly suits me, crushing all, endlessly violent. In the past, my spear technique lacked this kind of directness, this utter strength that crushes everything.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was extremely pleased.


    With a sudden enlightenment, countless insights surged into his mind, making his spear technique faster and more terrifying by the moment.


    Everything progressed according to his will.


    And in the place unbeknownst to Li Yuan, hints flickered across the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡°[Your Spear Technique skill has advanced from 59% at the Fifth Stage to 60% at the Fifth Stage]¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°[Your Spear Technique skill has advanced from 63% at the Fifth Stage to 64% at the Fifth Stage]¡±


    ¡°[Your Spear Techni¡­]¡±


    ¡­


    The battle between Li Yuan and the number one Golden Armored Warrior.


    After over two hours of fighting, Li Yuan had almost fully integrated his past understanding of the nature¡¯s mystery into his spear technique.


    More than two hours later, Li Yuan finally came back to his senses and stopped.


    ¡°Haha, elder number one, thank you.¡± Li Yuan felt freely elated, smiling at the number one Golden Armored Warrior.


    The moment he fully regained his senses, he understood that without the patient sparring of the number one Golden Armored Warrior, his progress from the enlightenment would not have been so significant.


    Nor would it have been possible to create the second True Intent Killing Move.


    Subconsciously,


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: Level 26 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 441,000 kilograms


    Speed: 262 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: Level 32.9

    Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 72%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 72%)


    Star Technique: Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± (First Rank Level 9: Level 9)


    ¡­


    ¡°A sudden enlightenment breakthrough has brought my Spear Technique to 72% at the Fifth Stage.¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly.


    Among those of the Fifth Stage High Rank, that was not considered weak.


    In half a month, he had progressed from 40% to 72% at the Fifth Stage, a speed that was simply unimaginable¡­ If some of the geniuses from the top ten of virtual battles were here, it would probably take them several years to reach such a level.


    Of course, Li Yuan also understood that the training conditions he had during this time were incomparable to others.


    Today¡¯s enlightenment was even something many people may never encounter.


    ¡°Mastering the second True Intent Killing Move,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°Even if I were to encounter some Top Grade Origin Martial Artists with 85% Fifth Stage Technique, based solely on skill, I might not be weaker than them.¡±


    The level of skill represents the level of one¡¯s understanding of nature.


    True Intent Killing Moves, on the other hand, are about techniques that cannot be quantified.


    ¡°It was your own enlightenment, I only did what I had to do,¡± the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile from not far away.


    His smile was radiant.


    Immediately, the number one Golden Armored Warrior looked towards numbers two and three.


    The two Golden Armored Warriors understood their big brother¡¯s intention.


    The next second,


    All three Golden Armored Warriors simultaneously bowed in respect: ¡°Congratulations, young master, we celebrate young master for passing on the legacy test and becoming a Divine Disciple.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve passed the test?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    He had not realized that the number one Golden Armored Warrior had just ¡®broken limits¡¯.


    ¡°Young master, I have already notified Gu You, the War God,¡± the number one Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile: ¡°Hoping that the young master will soon achieve Demigod status and lead us to emerge in the world once again.¡±


    Whoosh¡ª The three Golden Armored Warriors had already turned into countless streams of golden liquid, merging into the ground.


    Silently,


    The seemingly real and illusory young girl in white, barefooted, had already appeared in mid-air, curiously looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°It seems, I underestimated you, giving you three months, yet in just half a month your Spear Technique has undergone such transformation.¡± The girl showed her small fangs and had a trace of a smile: ¡°Your comprehension is much higher than I imagined.¡±


    ¡°Really nice.¡±


    ¡°Gu You, senior,¡± Li Yuan remained respectful.


    ¡°What senior? Call me sister,¡± the girl frowned.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°What, you don¡¯t wish to take me as your master?¡± The girl fixed her large eyes on Li Yuan.


    ¡°Of course, I am willing.¡±


    ¡°Then that settles it, call me sister!¡±

    Chapter 374: Chapter 253: Divine Legacy (Additional Release 42, Monthly Ticket Please!!)


    ¡°Sister!¡± Li Yuan was always aware of what was appropriate.


    ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± The girl¡¯s smile became even more radiant. ¡°Say it a few more times.¡±


    ¡°Sister! Sister!¡± Li Yuan said without hesitation, for once people break their limits, they continue to break them.


    Until they have none left.


    ¡°Good.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits, and she found Li Yuan growing more pleasing to the eye.


    All of a sudden,


    The girl sighed, ¡°Since the death of father¡¯s disciples, it has been nearly ten thousand years since I heard the title ¡®sister¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Ten thousand years?¡± Li Yuan held his breath. That was an exceptionally long time.


    Discounting some of the unverifiable historical legends, the entire history of the Seven Star Civilization is only about five thousand years.


    ¡°Come, let¡¯s complete the apprenticeship ceremony first.¡± The girl revealed her small canine teeth and looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Father¡¯s direct disciple¡­ Hehe! Father finally has a disciple again.¡±


    She then walked toward the enormous and majestic throne at the end of the temple.


    Li Yuan immediately followed.


    During the more than ten days prior, when he sparred with the three Golden Armored Warriors, he was not allowed to approach the area near the throne.


    This time, as he followed Gu You to the base of the throne.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    Whoosh~ The once silent majestic throne suddenly burst into a brilliant golden light that filled the entire Hall of Inheritance as if it was enveloped in endless golden radiance.


    Right after that, the girl pointed from afar.


    Without sound or sign, countless golden lights converged, forming an enormous phantom atop the majestic throne.


    It was a humanoid creature, sitting at a height of dozens of meters, clothed in earthy yellow Combat Armor, its skin almost stone-like without a single hair, and at first glance, resembled a rock giant. It too had arms and legs¡­ and it exuded an aura of utmost supremacy.


    This powerful presence made Li Yuan catch his breath.


    It was too strong, undoubtedly the most powerful being Li Yuan had ever seen¡­ Even though it was just a phantom left by Divine Sense, the oppression it radiated was probably even beyond the Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    This was a Divine Being.


    ¡°My daughter.¡± The colossal phantom as if coming to life, its gaze fell upon the girl in white, eyes filled with tenderness.


    ¡°Father.¡± The girl who was just giggling, looked at the figure with tears barely visible in her eyes. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It had been too long.


    She almost couldn¡¯t remember how long it had been since she last saw her father¡¯s figure.


    ¡°Father, your daughter has fulfilled her duty and chosen the first direct disciple.¡± The girl pointed at Li Yuan beside her, her voice more serious than ever. ¡°Li Yuan, step forward to pay your respects as my disciple.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Li Yuan was unable to tell if the colossal phantom was a remnant left by the Divine Being or if it truly contained a part of the Divine Being¡¯s consciousness¡­ The methods of Divine Beings are unfathomable.


    He respectfully knelt on the ground and bowed deeply. ¡°Disciple Li Yuan, greets Master.¡±


    Although the other had passed away,


    Since he had chosen to accept the inheritance, he naturally had to engrave the grace of being taught in his heart, bowing to his master, Li Yuan also did so with genuine acceptance.


    Thump~ Thump~ Thump~ Li Yuan bowed respectfully three times.


    As he bowed for the third time,


    ¡°A disciple of Ancient Torch?¡± The giant figure upon the golden throne smiled, looking down at Li Yuan as if it could truly see him. ¡°My student, I¡¯ve been gone for who knows how long, and I don¡¯t expect you to do anything specific, I have no particular demands.¡±


    ¡°Just one thing, take good care of your sister.¡±


    Immediately after, the giant figure pointed toward Li Yuan, and a stream of golden light flew from his fingertip, directly descending upon Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    Boom!


    His soul thundered, and even with Li Yuan¡¯s strong spiritual power, he felt dazed at this moment. The golden light that rushed toward him contained an ocean of information, quickly transmitting into his soul.


    It swiftly integrated into his memory, intermingling with countless other memories.


    The Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± for the first six ranks¡­ The Ninefold Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± for the first six ranks¡­ The Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡±¡­ The Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡±¡­ The Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Ninefold Astral Void¡±¡­ One after another, powerful and complete Star Techniques.


    Were directly transmitted to Li Yuan.


    Each of these Star Techniques were paths leading to the Divine Level, incredibly precious. Many a Star Technique could drive countless Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods mad¡­ This was the Divine Being Inheritance.


    If the Divine Being were alive, he might not trust to pass on so many powerful Star Techniques to his disciples.


    But since he had died, then naturally, all such Star Techniques and treasures would be left to his Successor.


    Every powerful Star Technique, especially those from the later stages, were exceedingly fearsome, and the information pertaining to their cultivation was vast and complex, particularly with respect to the Semi Divine Level and Divine Level¡­ The knowledge was vast and profound.


    Luckily, Li Yuan was already at the Flying Heaven Level of spiritual power.


    If he were merely a Prime Warrior, he would not be able to directly bear so much inheritance information. Even so, it would take Li Yuan at least an entire day to fully absorb all the information.


    Li Yuan closed his eyes, silently receiving it.


    At this moment, he couldn¡¯t afford to be distracted by anything else.


    On the side.


    ¡°The Light of Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Father¡¯s life¡¯s work¡­ before his passing, he left only three such remnants.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes still showed a trace of tears, her feelings complicated, with a hint of resolve. ¡°Father, I will surely train Li Yuan well.¡±


    ¡°If he doesn¡¯t suffice, I¡¯ll screen for a second, and then a third direct disciple.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, when Li Yuan has become a Divine Being¡­ I will surely make him reclaim everything.¡± The girl pledged silently in her heart. ¡°With that token, there¡¯s great hope.¡±


    She was referred to as the War God by the Golden Armored Warriors, an indeed terrifying presence.


    And in her heart, the Ancient Torch Divine was the true heaven.

    She was the custodian of her spiritual refuge.


    The death of the Ancient Torch Divine was for her no different than the sky collapsing.


    That war was incredibly brutal.


    Ultimately, as the Ancient Torch Divine lay dying, he entrusted the Hall of Inheritance, which he had prepared in advance, to the Fire System Divine trusted most under his command, desperately sending him away.


    In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years passed, the girl knew nothing of the outside world, unaware of the final outcome of that great battle of gods¡­ She simply followed her father¡¯s last wishes, hiding in this part of the Star Realm.


    Until a hundred years ago.


    Only when she felt that the Star Realm had completely stabilized, and that Divines could no longer descend, did she dare to truly emerge and begin choosing a successor, until today.


    ¡°Just Second Rank, huh.¡± The girl looked at Li Yuan.


    Still weak, but with unlimited potential.


    She patiently waited beside Li Yuan until his memory fully fused with the light of inheritance.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan received the inheritance, the Fierce Feather Star Realm was in constant battle, war raging everywhere.


    The Seven Star Civilization and the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom fought fiercely.


    About two thousand miles from the fourth outpost base of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Atop a vast mountain range.


    A towering figure over ten meters tall, with a body shining like gold as if a giant, wielding two massive shields.


    He stood in the void, his presence overwhelming, his gigantic eyes scanning the four corners of the void, faintly burning with flames.


    Suddenly¡ª


    Boom!


    A strange knife light appeared silently behind him, unpredictable and mysterious, with strands of greenish air currents flowing within the blade light, stealthily assaulting the towering golden figure.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    As if the golden giant had eyes on his back, he swiftly turned around. Instead of trying to block the knife light, he swung the two enormous shields in his hands like giant palms, violently clapping them together at the figure behind the blade light.

    ¡°Puchi~¡± The knife light swept across the chest of the golden giant, its shocking penetrative power instantly slicing through the Origin Power Battle Suit, then leaving behind a startling torn wound on the golden giant¡¯s chest.


    Yet, that wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    ¡°Pong~¡± The two massive shields also fiercely hit the disheveled-haired figure.


    At first glance, it seemed like swatting a mosquito, attempting to crush Lude Nef outright.


    Boom! Lude Nef took the ferocious hit head-on, then with all his strength erupting, he broke free from the restraints of the two shields and burst backward fiercely.


    ¡°Pretty tough, huh.¡± The golden figure spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Lude Nef, you are indeed very strong, I can¡¯t do anything to you, but I have cultivated the ¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, earning the title of an ¡®Undying Body¡¯¡­ You can¡¯t kill me.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Lude Nef¡¯s gaze was icy, staring fixedly at the golden figure.


    In terms of skill level, he was much better than his opponent.


    But Martial Artists can often only cultivate two Star Techniques, even those top-tier geniuses.


    Thus, top-tier geniuses were also destined to have their own strengths.


    Like Lude Nef, what he cultivated were the ¡°Wind Shadow,¡± a Sixth Layer Star Technique, and the ¡°Blood Eroding Wind Blade,¡± a Fifth Layer Star Technique; when combined, alongside the ¡®True Meaning of Shadowlessness¡¯ he had comprehended from the Wind Vein.


    It made him an extremely terrifying assassin in both Stealth and attack, causing countless opponents to dread him.


    Many Flying Heaven level of the Alien Race had been one-shot killed by him.


    The Flying Heaven level assassin ¡®Dark Shadow¡¯ from the Tianliang Clan, who was targeted by Fang Hai¡¯s schemes¡ªif faced head-on, might not even be a match for Lude Nef.


    However.


    Even a master like Lude Nef had his nemesis, and the golden giant before him was just that¡­ Ao Jia!


    He, too, was a Sixth Stage skill master and a Prime Warrior prodigy with immense fame within the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Ao Jia cultivated the Seven Stars Technique ¡°Myriad Gold Divine Body,¡± a famous technique of Dongfang Ji that effectively combined body protection, defense, and explosive power and speed in one formidable Star Technique.


    Now, the two sides clashed.


    No matter how desperately Lude Nef kept attacking, he could not inflict a fatal wound.


    Ao Jia¡¯s ability to protect himself was considered inconceivable among the Second Rank.


    ¡°Lude Nef, let¡¯s end the battle here,¡± Ao Jia¡¯s voice boomed, ¡°Although you¡¯ve lost two men, you¡¯ve also slaughtered many¡­ you¡¯ve already taken great advantage.¡±


    ¡°The demigods of our Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have already said they wish to settle the dispute and share control of the World within Worlds equally, how about it?¡± Ao Jia tempted.


    ¡°Dream on!¡± Lude Nef¡¯s voice was filled with rage, ¡°If we were all Flying Heaven Warriors, you would definitely die by my blade.¡±


    ¡°Pity we are but Prime Warriors,¡± Ao Jia laughed, ¡°Or do you plan to break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the Fierce Feather Star Realm?¡±


    Lude Nef¡¯s gaze was ice-cold.


    In the entire Fierce Feather Star Realm, except for the great opportunity offered by the World within Worlds, there were hardly any other treasures, and Prime Warriors couldn¡¯t enter the World within Worlds¡­ such top-level geniuses naturally wouldn¡¯t break through in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    That would be self-destructive to their future prospects.


    Two days ago, Lude Nef and the other eight Flying Heaven-level forces ambushed and dealt a devastating blow to the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡­ but the forces of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom counterattacked swiftly.


    Up to this point, both sides had suffered considerable casualties.


    ¡°When it comes to treasures left by the divine, you can¡¯t defend them,¡± Ao Jia spoke gravely, ¡°Our passage is over ten thousand kilometers away from your breeding areas.¡±


    ¡°Yet it is only a few hundred kilometers from our main base¡­ You may have won the surprise attack this time, but you can¡¯t hold it, you will have to retreat sooner or later.¡±


    Lude Nef watched silently.


    Indeed, the distance was a severe disadvantage¡­ it was almost impossible for the Seven Star Civilization to occupy the second passage.


    After a long while.


    Lude Nef finally chose to retreat, and only then did the golden giant in the void breathe a sigh of relief.


    ¡°Truly terrifying.¡±


    ¡°This Lude Nef, if we talk about strength, could almost be regarded as a Divine Child Level Genius within the Divine Kingdom,¡± Ao Jia muttered secretly.


    Prime Warriors recognized as Divine Child Level in the entire Gu Yue Divine Kingdom were only two or three.


    Ao Jia, whether in terms of strength or potential, was inferior to the other.


    ¡°And that Yu Jinghe, his strength is so much more formidable than the intelligence reports,¡± Ao Jia recalled the recent major battle.


    If it weren¡¯t for Yu Jinghe suddenly unleashing a power nearly equal to Lude Nef¡¯s direct combat strength.


    The Seven Star Civilization would have lost more than just two men.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back, rebuild the base first, and then prepare for the next attack,¡± Ao Jia¡¯s body rapidly shrank, turning into a streak of light shooting up into the sky.


    ¡­


    In the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°The mixed scum of the Seven Star Civilization actually dared to launch a surprise attack,¡± Mintian Hou roared furiously as he looked at the casualty report in his hands, nearly driven mad with anger.


    This time around, of the 10 prepared Flying Heaven Warriors they gathered, eight perished.


    Only two remained.


    If it weren¡¯t for him receiving the message and immediately contacting a large number of demigods from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to urgently dispatch a number of super-genius warriors into the Fierce Feather Star Realm to block Lude Nef, the situation could have become irrevocably dire.


    Even so, the power in the hands of their four demigods had temporarily lost the possibility of mounting a frontal assault.


    ¡°We must report to the clan,¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s gaze narrowed as his heart bled.

    Chapter 376: Chapter 254: The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    ¡°`


    If there had been other choices, Mintian Hou would definitely not have reported to his clan. If he had led the operation himself, he could have kept the lion¡¯s share of the profits once successful.


    For what was at stake was a relic left by a Fire System Divine, imbued with the hope of attaining divinity.


    Once he reported to his clan? As the clan mobilized its powerful forces, his final gains would be pitiably small.


    You get as much as you give, an unchanged truth since ancient times.


    Most crucial of all, Mintian Hou¡¯s relationship with his clan was not good; otherwise, he would not have come to the distant Gu Yue Divine Kingdom to set roots and establish his own fief.


    In the Immortal Ruins Civilization, among numerous countries and sects, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was quite ordinary.


    In the entire Immortal Ruins Civilization, those truly at the summit were the few great Immortal Sect Divine Races.


    Mintian Hou was from one such powerful Divine Race.


    But now, Mintian Hou had no choice; the forces he could mobilize had been greatly diminished¡­ The remaining forces were not capable of contending with the Seven Star Civilization anymore.


    With that thought,


    Whoosh!


    Mintian Hou waved his hand, and a strange instrument the size of a table appeared in front of him. A wisp of Demigod Origin Power flew out and entered the instrument. Quickly, the instrument began to glow faintly.


    Whoosh~ The instrument emitted a vast amount of light that formed a huge projection screen above.


    The projection was pitch-black.


    As time ticked away, Mintian Hou waited patiently. After more than ten minutes,


    Buzz~ With a flicker in the projection, the figure of an elder appeared.


    His stature was tall as well, clothed in heavy armor. The most eye-catching feature was the dark red horn on top of his head, which was similar to Mintian Hou¡¯s.


    Based on appearance alone, they were of the same race.


    ¡°Mintian Hou, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± The elder with the horn spoke indifferently, his voice carrying a sense of estrangement.


    ¡°Great-Uncle.¡± Mintian Hou suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed slightly.


    ¡°You flatter me.¡± The elder responded coolly.


    ¡°Great-Uncle, I was wrong before.¡± Mintian Hou lowered his head, his voice gloomy, ¡°This time I¡¯m contacting the clan because there¡¯s a great opportunity for which I¡¯d like the clan¡¯s support.¡±


    ¡°Great opportunity?¡± The elder¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, ¡°Speak.¡±


    ¡°A force under my command, while exploring a part of the Star Realm, accidentally discovered a Fire System Divine relic, but it coincides with another Fourth Level Civilization ¨C the ¡®Seven Star Civilization¡¯¡­ My initial plan was to secure a preliminary occupation before reporting to the clan.¡± Mintian Hou whispered, ¡°But now the Seven Star Civilization is arrogant, I hope the clan can provide some resources.¡±


    The elder revealed a smile of unfathomable depth without showing any emotion.


    He had lived for hundreds of years. How could he not understand Mintian Hou¡¯s true intentions?


    Report to the clan after securing a preliminary occupation? Nonsense. If Mintian Hou could occupy it on his own strength, the clan would probably never receive the news.


    Mintian Hou was merely seeking assistance.


    But the horned elder wouldn¡¯t expose his thoughts. After all, there was such a great benefit at stake¡­ oh no, after all, they were kin.


    A Fire System Divine treasure!


    ¡°Chi Jisa.¡± The horned elder spoke warmly, ¡°When you were promoted to Demigod, I believe I was the one who presided over your initiation ceremony. More than a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye.¡±


    Chi Jisa was Mintian Hou¡¯s real name.


    ¡°Great-Uncle has always treated me well since I was young.¡± Mintian Hou seized the opportunity to agree.


    Since he was young? They had met for the first time when Mintian Hou reached the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always believed in your character, your previous issue must have been sabotaged by others.¡± The elder showed a gentle smile, ¡°I will order an investigation to clarify. Now that you have found a Fire System Divine relic but still wish to report to the clan, it shows that you care about the clan¡¯s interests; really commendable.¡±


    ¡°Great-Uncle overpraises.¡± Mintian Hou said earnestly.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Wait a moment, I will send you a ¡®Civilization Contract¡¯. After you sign it, send back all the intelligence you have gathered. The clan will provide the greatest support according to the situation.¡± The horned elder stated, ¡°Once successful, 10% of the treasures from the Divine relics will belong to you.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if the forces at your disposal can still play a significant role, your share can appropriately be increased. How about that?¡± the horned elder said.


    ¡°I have no objections. Contributing to the clan is my duty.¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s face was filled with smiles, yet his heart was bleeding.


    10%?


    Originally, he should have received more than 50%. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Of course, Mintian Hou wasn¡¯t worried that the horned elder would even encroach on the 10%¡­ A Civilization Contract was set by the most supreme beings of the Immortal Ruins Civilization. Once publicly signed, it had to be followed.


    If it came to that,


    To the entire clan, a relic left by a Fire System Divine was precious, but not worth compromising the whole clan¡¯s reputation.


    Before an agreement between the two parties, the clan elders might squeeze him, but once the agreement was set¡­ they would definitely honor it.


    A person stands by their word,


    A clan is built on its rules.


    The Chi Divine Race had stood tall in the Immortal Ruins Civilization for tens of thousands of years, allowing members like Mintian Hou to trust the clan even after leaving it and to contact them in the first instance, confident the clan would not cheat him¡­ Of course, it had its own set of operational rules.


    Time passed.


    Mintian Hou quickly transmitted all the information he knew to the horned elder.


    ¡°Chi Jisa, you need to be patient for a while.¡± The horned elder spoke softly and then his figure disappeared.


    Mintian Hou stood still.


    He knew that the horned elder was going to contact other Demigods of the Divine Race, and he might even contact the supreme Divines.


    That¡¯s right, those who dare to call themselves a Divine Race, the Chi Divine Race indeed had Divines backing them.


    As for places like Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, they had produced Divines in their history, but Divines can die¡­ In this era, there are no longer any Divines in Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    Time ticked by.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°Chi Jisa.¡± The horned elder¡¯s figure reappeared.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Great-Uncle,¡± Mintian Hou remained very respectful.


    ¡°Five days,¡± the unicorn elder spoke softly, ¡°it will take time to depart from the Divine Race territory to your Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡­ Plus the time for the clan to mobilize the elites, they will arrive within five days.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Mintian Hou hastily nodded.


    Five days? He could wait.


    ¡°Great-Uncle, who are you planning to send?¡± Mintian Hou couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Three Semi Divine Level geniuses, all from the Fire System lineage, will enter the Divine Palace ruins,¡± the unicorn elder whispered, ¡°They are all the Semi Divine Level geniuses of the First Rank in our clan.¡±


    ¡°All of them?¡± Mintian Hou was startled and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Are there no Divine Child Level geniuses?¡±


    ¡°Do you think Divine Child Level geniuses are cabbages?¡± The unicorn elder glanced at him, ¡°Being Divine Child Level geniuses, they naturally won¡¯t stay long at the First Rank¡­ It¡¯s incredibly rare to find one with the right Life Level. Currently, even our whole Immortal Ruins Civilization would have trouble finding a First Rank Divine Child Level genius, we¡¯d probably only find them in the three great Xian sects.¡±


    ¡°Besides, even if they have them, they might not necessarily be from the Fire System lineage. The probability of seizing the treasure might not even be higher,¡± the unicorn elder added.


    Mintian Hou fell silent, but upon reflection, it seemed normal, and it was he who had assumed too much.


    Divine Child Level geniuses, even within the Divine Race Xian sects, hold a very high status.


    ¡°I understand your worries, afraid they wouldn¡¯t be a match for that Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Just a Fourth Level Civilization genius,¡± the unicorn elder said, ¡°We will naturally make thorough preparations. By then, the strength of all three of them will far surpass Mo Hu.¡±


    ¡°You need to understand, there is a great difference even among Semi Divine Level geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Mintian Hou nodded slightly.


    Just as the strength gap between Flying Heaven Martial Artists or Demigods can be quite significant.


    ¡°Furthermore, we¡¯ve also prepared 300 reserve Prime Warriors,¡± he continued.


    ¡°You gather another batch of First Rank Martial Artists, and we¡¯ll attack together when the time comes.¡±


    ¡°Of course, we must make dual preparations for seizing the treasure,¡± the unicorn elder spoke slowly, ¡°Our clan is also preparing several Prime Warrior geniuses. They will enter the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡­ to deal with the Prime Warrior geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization. ¡±


    ¡°However, their role is to protect the three Semi Divine Level geniuses, not to engage in life-and-death battles with the Prime Warrior geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the unicorn elder said, ¡°Our goal is the treasure, and if we end up fighting to the death within the Star Realm, we are not assured of defeating a powerful Fourth Level Civilization that has produced many Demigods¡­ It¡¯s not meaningful.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Mintian Hou said.


    He also felt that the unicorn elder¡¯s words were reasonable.


    Mintian Hou¡¯s forces had suffered heavy losses, which infuriated him, but he was not angry about the deaths of his subordinates; he was angry about the loss of his own hopes for acquiring the treasure.


    Mintian Hou had never felt it incumbent upon himself to avenge the deaths of his subordinates.


    For him, obtaining the Divine treasure was of paramount importance.


    The rest? Not important.


    Fighting for the territory of the desolate Fierce Feather Star Realm? He would have to be kicked in the head by a donkey to fight over the territory of a desolate star realm.


    Before long.


    The communication between Mintian Hou and the unicorn elder ceased.


    ¡°Three Semi Divine Level geniuses? Can it succeed?¡± Mintian Hou muttered to himself, ¡°That Li Yuan, is truly a monstrous talent.¡±


    After so much time, he had also found out that the one from the Seven Star Civilization who had entered the star realm was ¡®Li Yuan¡¯.


    ¡°Well, there¡¯s nothing left but to trust the clan¡¯s judgment now.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Many within the Divine Kingdom must be looking forward to seeing me fail,¡± Mintian Hou thought to himself, ¡°The precise timing of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s assassination a few days ago¡­ It¡¯s very likely that a Demigod sold me out.¡±


    When the four Demigods acted, the commotion was huge, and naturally, there were many Demigods within the Divine Kingdom who took notice. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    ¡­


    Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    In a desolate mountain range about 7000 kilometers away from the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s cultivation area.


    Six figures converged in a canyon between two mountains.


    ¡°The mission is essentially complete,¡± Lude Nef, with disheveled hair and a domineering presence, his eyes faintly red, spoke deeply, ¡°We have slain six Flying Heaven Martial Artists and four reserve Flying Heaven Warriors, dealing a heavy blow to the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.¡±


    Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others listened silently.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°We have also suffered casualties, Abbott, and Yanjun Ling have fallen in battle,¡± Lude Nef spoke gravely, ¡°Most of the many life-saving items we carried were also used up.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare to retreat.¡±


    Everyone nodded quietly, their moods slightly subdued¡­ Even though they had anticipated casualties, when a comrade actually died, their hearts still felt some sorrow.


    Abbott, a Prime Warrior genius, was ordered to come and fight.


    Yanjun Ling, one of the two great Flying Heaven Warriors left behind in the Fierce Feather Star Realm by the Blazing Flame Family¡­ regardless of his original intentions for staying.


    But in all matters, actions speak louder than intentions, and he had proved himself with his deeds.


    ¡°Jing He,¡± Lude Nef suddenly turned to Yu Jinghe, and with a feeling of exclamation said, ¡°Once I break through, you will be our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s number one Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°This time, if it weren¡¯t for your critical outbreak, holding off Wu Siman, we would have lost at least two more.¡±


    Swish! Swish! Everyone turned their gaze to Yu Jinghe, admiration in their eyes.


    Abbott and Yanjun Ling both died in the final battle.


    In that battle, two formidable Prime Warrior geniuses sprang forth from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom¡ªAo Jia and Wu Siman.


    Both men, in terms of skill level, were slightly inferior to Lude Nef.


    But Lude Nef¡¯s forte was assassination, not the kind of fighting where one faces ten head-on¡­ Yet Ao Jia and Wu Siman practiced powerful Divine Bodies and had fierce, overwhelming attacks.


    Coupled with the assistance of other Flying Heaven Level warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    At the crucial moment,


    It was Yu Jinghe who erupted, turning the tide by holding off the ferocious Wu Siman, allowing Tavares, Wu Manong, and the others to leave first.

    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± said Yu Jinghe, looking at her, ¡°are you sure you want to make the breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been stuck at the Prime Warrior realm for a long time,¡± Lude Nef spoke in a low voice, ¡°and I don¡¯t mind telling you, I¡¯ve already awakened the sixth Star Pulse¡­ it¡¯s time for a breakthrough.¡±


    Six Star Pulse? Everyone showed a look of surprise; they clearly understood what that meant.


    This practically signified that, given Lude Nef¡¯s comprehension and talent, once he made the breakthrough, his future would undoubtedly be terrifying within the ranks of the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go; let¡¯s head back,¡± Lude Nef said.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Six streaks of light shot into the sky, speeding toward the war base thousands of kilometers away.


    ¡­


    The outside world was embroiled in an ongoing war.


    Yet, within the tranquility of the World within Worlds, deep within the ¡®Hall of Inheritance¡¯.


    Li Yuan had been merging with that vast information, and after a whole day, he finally regained consciousness.


    He opened his eyes.


    ¡°This! This!¡± With a thought, Li Yuan felt a multitude of thoughts, numerous methods surfacing in his mind, as if they were inheritances born within him.


    Incredibly magical.


    ¡°I can clearly perceive many powerful Star Techniques, but it seems I can¡¯t speak of them,¡± Li Yuan noticed this fact, and it seemed as if an invisible restriction existed.


    For the time being, he could only study by himself and could not pass them on to others.


    But it was still marvelous.


    ¡°Truly worthy of a Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan marveled in awe: no wonder the two great civilizations were frantically fighting to the death.


    Li Yuan was not sure if immensely powerful beings within his civilization, like Dongfang Ji, Lant, Bai Shan Semi-Divine and others, had received a similar inheritance¡­ but at least, the Star Techniques available from the Starfire treasure trove were far inferior to what his master ¡®Ancient Torch Divine¡¯ had left behind.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake? How do you feel?¡± The girl stood on the side with her bare feet, her skirt fluttering.


    ¡°Very strong,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°My father left behind many Star Techniques, but the true core lies in only two Supreme Ninefold Star Techniques, ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ and ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ which I hope you can truly learn.¡± The girl¡¯s bright eyes looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°These two Star Techniques¡­


    ¡°The ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ is considered one of the ¡®Supreme Enlightenment Star Techniques¡¯ with great fame even in dimensional spaces and can greatly enhance the connection with the Law of Earth. If you can truly cultivate it to a very high level, your chances of Becoming a Divine Being will greatly increase,¡± the girl said, ¡°Even Divine Beings place great importance on this technique; it is a shortcut on the path to ultimate power.¡±


    ¡°Divine Beings place great importance on it?¡± Li Yuan marveled.


    Li Yuan nodded gravely: ¡°Alright, I will continue to cultivate diligently and strive to step into the Second Rank as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Right now, you¡¯ve only just completed the First Order Limit, the effect is not so apparent yet, but when it reaches the Second Order Limit, Third Order Limit, Fourth Order Limit¡­ the effects will become increasingly exaggerated.¡± The girl looked at Li Yuan: ¡°You will understand in the future.¡±


    Gou Yu already knew that Li Yuan had awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein and was also cultivating the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ is an ancient Star Technique that is both protective and allows for explosive strength; its might is endless,¡± Gou Yu¡¯s eyes showed a touch of reminiscence: ¡°Back then, after father had cultivated it to a very high level, his strength soared, and with this, he traversed various realms, slaying quite a few Divine Beings.¡±


    Slaying quite a few Divine Beings? Li Yuan was internally shocked.


    It sounded like the strength of his own mentor was not to be underestimated even among Divine Beings. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Sis, does our master only know two Ninefold Star Techniques?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    ¡°Only?¡±


    Gou Yu paused, looking at Li Yuan with a strange gaze: ¡°Li Yuan, do you think Ninefold Star Techniques are as common as cabbages? Do you realize how rare it is to be able to practice two Supreme Star Techniques?¡±


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    ¡°Your Star Meridian talent is extremely high, and the fact that you could awaken a Nine Layer Star Vein so quickly is one of the reasons I chose you¡­ but in the future, if you can awaken one more Nine Layer Star Vein, I will be extremely satisfied,¡± Gou Yu said, shaking her head, ¡°You will understand in the future.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded obediently.


    Yet in his heart, he was wondering¡ªin case there were no accidents, once his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, he would awaken another Perfect Star Vein.


    But for now, he should keep it low-key!


    One must stay low-key.


    ¡°The Ninefold Star Technique ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ you can¡¯t cultivate it yet,¡± Gou Yu said, ¡°Therefore, the master specifically left behind the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ and the Fifth Layer Star Technique ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body,¡¯ which are in succession with the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ is considered a simplified version.¡±


    ¡°And the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ is a super-simplified version¡­ At the Prime Warrior stage, you can first cultivate the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body,¡¯ then as your Star Meridian grows stronger you can gradually practice ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ until you eventually practice the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯ The cultivation of the three Divine Bodies accommodate each other and are not mutually exclusive,¡± Gou Yu said earnestly.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, most Prime Warriors with limited Star Pulse awakenings cultivated Star Techniques that were Third Layer.


    Some top-tier geniuses could manage to cultivate one or two Fifth Layer Star Techniques or even Sixth Layer Star Techniques.


    If he could cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ he would at least be able to dominate at the Prime Warrior stage.


    However, cultivating a Divine Body was the most difficult; aside from needing a high realm and strong Star Meridians, often many external treasures were also needed to aid in cultivation.


    ¡°As for the other Star Techniques¡­


    ¡°Like the Domain Star Technique ¡®Nine Glorious Void,¡¯ the Escaping Technique ¡®Light Transformation,¡¯ the Slaughter Star Technique ¡®Severing Star Extinction¡¯ and others, there is a total of nine, ranging from Six Layers to Eight Layers¡ªyou don¡¯t need to rush to practice them. Wait until your strength has grown in the future, then choose the ones that fit you,¡± Gou Yu said: ¡°Cultivation of the Divine Body is of the utmost importance.¡±


    ¡°With a strong Divine Body, your direct combat ability will reach astonishing levels, and you will also be able to survive in many dangerous places.¡±

    Chapter 379: Chapter 254: The Madness-Inducing Divine Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    He had to take his sister¡¯s advice seriously.


    ¡°Apart from the Star Technique inheritance,¡±


    ¡°there¡¯s something else.¡± The girl turned over her palm, and a glazed antique lamp emitting a strange light appeared in her hand: ¡°Come, condense your Divine Sense onto the wick of the lamp.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan immediately did as he was told, his thoughts flitting past the glazed antique lamp.


    Hisss~ As if a mere mortal¡¯s arm had been scalded, Li Yuan felt a tremor in his soul¡­ He then noticed a faint, almost imperceptible connection with the glazed antique lamp in front of him.


    ¡°This thing is called a ¡®Spiritual Lamp¡¯, and it can sense the location of your soul,¡± the girl said as she looked at Li Yuan, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: ¡°As long as you are in this domain, then, through the Spiritual Lamp, I can confirm whether you are alive or dead.¡±


    ¡°That amazing?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished, truly what a method.


    ¡°Sister, this domain, what is a domain?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°You come from the Seven Star Civilization; the ¡®Seven Star Sea¡¯ where your civilization is located is a Dimensional Plane. Planes vary in strength and size¡­ many planes intersect and are collectively known as the Dimensional Domain,¡± the girl explained: ¡°Your domain has also given birth to quite a few formidable deities¡­ but that¡¯s of no concern to you for now.¡±


    ¡°For deities, crossing planes to reach other Dimensional Planes is extremely difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    So the entire Seven Star Sea is a Dimensional Plane.


    Does that mean, other civilizations of the Foreign Domain are located on different Dimensional Planes?


    Whoosh!


    With another wave of the girl¡¯s hand, the enormous stone mural, the ¡®Map of Myriad Stars¡¯, flew up from the side of the divine temple, and then it began to shrink rapidly¡­ It merged into a thin silver sliver that appeared in the void, until it completely disappeared.


    Swish! The thin silver sliver fell and floated in front of Li Yuan.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan stared at the sliver.


    It seemed similar to his own Storage Treasure.


    ¡°The Map of Myriad Stars is a Treasure for Assisting Cultivation in Enlightenment, incredibly mystical,¡± the girl said as she looked at Li Yuan: ¡°I have sealed it within this Storage Treasure. Once you recognize it as the master, you will be able to perceive and observe with your Divine Sense¡­ It can help you quickly master True Intent, and even ultimately step over the threshold of the Law.¡±


    ¡°But you cannot take it out, it involves great risks, and you must not disclose any information about it, do you understand?¡± the girl advised.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded solemnly.


    Having personally experienced the marvel of the Map of Myriad Stars, he clearly understood what a miraculous treasure it was.


    ¡°Finally, a few more items.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The girl waved her hand again, and a black long spear appeared in midair; it looked familiar, very much like the Black Chen Spear.


    There was also a fist-sized black Crystal Stone, its material unknown.


    Last was a purple jade token.


    ¡°This is a weapon I selected for you from the Armory after observing your weapon¡¯s style, it¡¯s a Fourth Rank weapon, also known as a Semi Divine Artifact,¡± she explained.


    ¡°In terms of power, it is average among Semi Divine Artifacts,¡± the girl said softly: ¡°The key is that its power is very concealed, and it can perfectly adapt to a master of any strength¡­ It¡¯ll be sufficient for you to use up through the Flying Heaven level.¡±


    A Semi Divine Artifact? Li Yuan was surprised as he looked at the black long spear, which didn¡¯t appear to have any characteristics of a Semi Divine Artifact at all.


    Indeed, it was sufficiently concealed.


    An ideal choice for ambushing, it would surely be underestimated by other powerful beings, and Li Yuan liked it very much.


    ¡°This Crystal Stone is a life-saving treasure I chose for you; when used, unless it¡¯s against some extremely strong Flying Heaven Warriors, nearly all below the Demigod level can be slain,¡± the girl pointed at the black Crystal Stone, speaking quite seriously: ¡°But remember, before you become a Demigod and gain perfect control over the Hall of Inheritance, I will only give you this one life-saving treasure.¡±


    ¡°So you must use it wisely.¡±


    ¡°Nearly all below the level of Demigod can be slain?¡± Li Yuan stared at the black Crystal Stone, holding his breath.


    A lethal weapon!


    In the whole Seven Star Civilization, it seemed that no technological weapons dared claim they could definitely kill a being below the level of Demigod.


    Not to mention a single combat weapon.


    ¡°Lastly, this is a token; even if you leave the World within Worlds, as long as you can return to the Fierce Feather Star Realm, you can return smoothly with this token,¡± the girl said to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Star Techniques, treasures for assisting in cultivation, weapons, life-saving items, token¡­ I have given you all that I should. Now it¡¯s all up to you,¡± the girl¡¯s eyes showed a hint of worry, but her voice was somewhat cold: ¡°The path to divinity, the Law of the Great Dao, both are extremely arduous; you can¡¯t become a deity by secluded cultivation alone. It¡¯s time for you to embark on your journey, to experience the wonders between heaven and earth. Only then can you reach the very end.¡±


    ¡°If you ultimately die on the path to becoming a deity,¡±


    ¡°Then, I will select another Direct Disciple for father,¡± the girl said slowly.


    Li Yuan looked down, mumbling in his heart.


    Another one? One of him was enough.


    ¡°Sister, when I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, how should I return?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°That¡¯s the other matter I wanted to talk about,¡± she replied.


    ¡°Once you believe you have reached the peak of a Prime Warrior, don¡¯t rush to break through; first, return to the World within Worlds,¡± the girl said, looking at Li Yuan: ¡°At that time, if you can pass the second challenge left by father.¡±


    ¡°It will be the time when you have begun to gain control over the Hall of Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°The second challenge?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Did you think you received everything father left behind?¡± the girl shook her head: ¡°Your strength must be strong enough to gradually receive many treasures.¡±


    ¡°As your sister, I¡¯m here to keep them for you.¡±


    ¡°I will always be here waiting for you,¡± the girl said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°What are the requirements for the second challenge?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard,¡± she replied.


    ¡°When you are able to kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior with a single move, you should be about there.¡±

    Chapter 380: Chapter 255: Though Divine Be Long-lived, They Too Have an End (Additional Chapters 43, 44, 45)


    ¡°A single move to annihilate an ordinary Flying Heaven level?¡± Li Yuan mused, finding such a statement quite shocking.


    After all, just a year ago, he had been a ¡®high school student¡¯ preparing for college entrance exams.


    Back then, Flying Heaven Warriors existed only in legends to him.


    ¡°It¡¯s not as difficult as you think,¡±


    ¡°As long as you cultivate your physical foundation to level 29, enter the Sixth Stage of skill, and push the Ninefold Star Technique ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ and the Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, you should be able to do it,¡± the girl said with a smile. ¡°After all, with so much external help, do you still lack the confidence to vie with a Flying Heaven level as a Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°I do,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    What a joke. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The heritage of the Seven Star Civilization was mediocre at best, yet each era could still produce quite a number of Prime Warriors who could match Flying Heaven ones.


    And what about Li Yuan? His ambitions were even greater now.


    Presently, Li Yuan¡¯s primary goal was to become ¡®the number one Prime Warrior¡¯ in the Seven Star Civilization and, in the future, to achieve the level of slaying a Demigod as a Flying Heaven¡­ At the very least, he needed to reach this level to barely qualify for the ¡®Divine Legacy¡¯ and to have a chance of embarking on the path to divinity.


    Which young Divine Being wasn¡¯t an unparalleled genius in their youth?


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re confident.¡±


    The girl nodded in satisfaction, then added, ¡°By the way, you should have learned a Visualization Method, right?¡±


    Li Yuan was initially startled, then he replied, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it was Little Fire who told me. It secretly spied on you while you were practicing the Visualization Method and sensed something, but couldn¡¯t fully confirm it,¡± the girl said with a smile. ¡°I was just testing you just now.¡±


    Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    ¡°It seems you indeed have some other opportunity,¡± the girl revealed a cryptic smile. ¡°But you probably don¡¯t understand how precious the Visualization Method is, for it is a method of the Divine.¡±


    ¡°A method of the Divine?¡± Li Yuan inhaled sharply.


    This was the first time he learned of the origins of the Visualization Method.


    ¡°Demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors, when passing on their knowledge to disciples and progeny, often spend considerable time infusing their Spiritual Imprint into the disciples¡¯ minds, tempering their Spiritual Will,¡± said the girl. ¡°That¡¯s the Mind Method, but as time goes by, the imprint gradually fades¡­ which is very inconvenient.¡±


    ¡°The higher-level technique is the Visualization Method.¡±


    ¡°What is the Visualization Method? The highest form is observing the fundamental nature of heaven and earth; next is observing the essence of nature; and the least is observing the aspect of the Divine,¡± the girl explained. ¡°The Divine, by expending a great deal of mental effort, can condense their will into ¡®the aspect of the Divine,¡¯ which can help a cultivator to learn the Visualization Method.¡±


    ¡°Once learned, one can day and night visualize the true form of the Divine, strengthen the spirit, and temper the will,¡± the girl said with a smile. ¡°The hope of becoming a god will greatly increase.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the name of the Visualization Method you learned, brother?¡± the girl asked curiously, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°And what is the aspect you observe?¡±


    Li Yuan hesitated, then said, ¡°It¡¯s called the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.''¡±


    When it concerned the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan was actually reluctant to reveal anything.


    But considering his earlier interactions with Gu You, Li Yuan trusted her quite deeply in his heart.


    Moreover, Li Yuan¡¯s own desire to unravel the secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was not entirely absent.


    ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture?¡± The girl¡¯s eyes showed confusion, clearly having never heard of it.


    ¡°My aspect of observation is that of a great sun, with my spirit body being scorched on one side, and nurtured by the boundless Starry Sky on the other,¡± Li Yuan explained earnestly.


    ¡°What?¡±


    The girl was genuinely surprised this time, her mouth agape as she looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Facing the great sun, backed by the starry sky¡­ this is the fundamental aspect of heaven and earth from the legends, one of the top Visualization Methods, that even my father had only heard about and never seen.¡±


    ¡°Where did you get it?¡± the girl couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Li Yuan, too, was shocked.


    The Visualization Method he had learned from the Mind Empty Divine Palace, even an Ancient Torch Divine had only heard of it¡­ Was the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± that powerful?


    But Li Yuan finally began to understand the marvel of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­ If the Visualization Method passed down initially was considered top-tier even by the Divine, what about the other techniques?


    It was unimaginable.


    ¡°Sis, I can¡¯t really speak of its origin,¡± Li Yuan said with a wry smile.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s not talk about it,¡± the girl said, as if she understood everything, and suddenly giggled, ¡°I was wondering how such a weak civilization could produce an unparalleled prodigy like you¡­ Sure enough, there¡¯s a reason for everything.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°The variations of heaven and earth, the movement of the universe, how many secrets does this boundless dimensional river hold? How many great opportunities emerge?¡± the girl said with a smile. ¡°Brother, the stronger you are, the more robust your background, the happier I will be for you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Not prying into matters was indeed a good quality of this sister.


    ¡°I had prepared a Visualization Method for you,¡± the girl said softly. ¡°Now it seems to be unnecessary¡­ However, according to the rules left by my father, it still has to be gifted to you.¡±


    ¡°Whoever you want to give it to, it¡¯s up to you,¡± the girl said with a smile.


    With a flip of her palm, a jade stone emanating a radiant aura appeared in her hand.


    ¡°To learn the Visualization Method, you need at least Flying Heaven level spiritual power,¡± the girl advised. ¡°Simply crush the jade stone, sense it with your soul, and you can quickly condense the aspect of visualization in your world of mind.¡±


    ¡°The aspect of visualization of the Divine is not eternally existent; it probably lasts for 1000 years, which should be enough for a Demigod¡¯s lifetime of cultivation,¡± the girl said.


    ¡°A thousand years?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously. ¡°Sister, can Demigods only live for a thousand years?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t a thousand years long enough?¡± the girl asked with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t you know the lifespan associated with the stages of the Martial Path?¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    He truly had no idea.


    ¡°Below the Second Rank, the typical limit is about 150 years,¡± she stated matter-of-factly.


    ¡°Second Rank Life, a lifespan of 300 years.¡±


    ¡°Third Rank Flying Heaven, 500 years.¡±


    ¡°Fourth Rank Demigod, a thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Fifth Order Divine Being, five thousand years,¡± the girl finally said.

 Chapter 389: 257: The Fury of the Boundary Spirit! The Final Return (Additional Chapters 46 and 47)

    Chapter 389: Chapter 257: The Fury of the Boundary Spirit! The Final Return (Additional Chapters 46 and 47)


    ¡°A fiery red token?¡± Li Yuan, hearing the voice of the Boundary Spirit, couldn¡¯t help but pause for a moment.


    Was this thing observing him all along?


    It never showed up during the life-and-death battle with the enemy, but now that it had found something good, it suddenly emerged?


    With murmurs in his heart, Li Yuan still followed the Boundary Spirit¡¯s command and fished out a fiery red token from the pile of relic items belonging to the two of them.


    Li Yuan remembered that this was something left by the enchanting woman he had smashed into a mist of blood with a stab of his spear.


    ¡°This token?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat puzzled. The token was the size of a palm, entirely red like fresh blood, with a special symbol engraved on the front.


    On the back, there was the engraving of a Divine Palace.


    The entire token emitted a very special aura, similar to what Li Yuan had sensed in the Fire System Divine Being Inheritance Hall.


    It was the aura of the Fire lineage.


    ¡°You can try using Origin Power to probe into the token and see if you can fully activate it,¡± the Boundary Spirit¡¯s voice rose again, sounding more anxious than before, no longer as gentle.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, focused his mind, and quickly, Origin Power began to permeate into the token.


    Hiss~


    At that moment, Li Yuan felt a bit of resistance, but it was not particularly strong. The very next instant¡ª


    Boom!


    The fiery red token suddenly burst into a blaze of light, like a hot flame burning fiercely, extremely dazzling.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered; with his strength, and protected by an Origin Power Battle Suit, he could easily bear the heat of these flames.


    This flame was the transformation of his Origin Power running through the pathways inside the token. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°What is that?¡±


    ¡°Not sure.¡± Unlike the hundreds of First Rank Martial Artists nearby, who still hadn¡¯t recovered from the shock of the scene before.


    Then, they saw a group of scorching flames suddenly appear in Li Yuan¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Damn it! Ah!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed his token, his token! I knew I wasn¡¯t wrong, it¡¯s him!¡± The Boundary Spirit¡¯s voice suddenly became extremely angry, echoing in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°He¡¯s the one who killed the master.¡±


    Listening to the Boundary Spirit¡¯s angry roars, Li Yuan was stunned.


    According to the Boundary Spirit,


    this flaming token was a memento passed down by some powerful entity¡­ and this powerful entity was the murderer who killed the True Phoenix Divine?


    Such a coincidence?


    ¡°Li Yuan, you should return to the tent first,¡± the Boundary Spirit seemed to be suppressing the rage in its heart, its voice becoming much calmer: ¡°I¡¯ll explain it to you slowly.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan outwardly remained calm and walked back towards his tent.


    At this moment.


    ¡°Senior Li Yuan.¡± Two figures hurried over, both emitting the aura of Martial Artists, showing considerable respect.


    They were the main officers in charge of managing the area of the Relic Divine Palace, and the hundreds of First Rank Martial Artists nearby were under their jurisdiction.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Li Yuan replied courteously.


    Li Yuan knew that despite his great strength, he alone couldn¡¯t guard the entire Relic Divine Palace¡­ He needed these ordinary Martial Artists to patrol in all directions and report to him about enemy attacks.


    ¡°Were the two people who just died genius Origin Martial Artists from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?¡± they couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Should we report this to the base?¡±


    ¡°Report it,¡± Li Yuan said indifferently: ¡°Write in the report that these two were a bit stronger than the previous Semi Divine Level genius.¡±


    From the instant clash just now, Li Yuan had already perceived the two¡¯s formidability.


    Their Physical Quality assessment from the Divine Palace Inquiry was level 24.


    Skills? Li Yuan guessed the muscular man with the knife was slightly less skilled than Mo Hu, but the enchanting woman probably had already stepped into the Fifth Stage High Rank¡­ If they were allowed to slaughter at will, even Alicia would be defeated and dead.


    They were incredibly talented geniuses.


    It could be said that within the entire Seven Star Civilization, apart from Li Yuan, it was impossible to find such formidable ¡®geniuses¡¯ among First Rank Martial Artists.


    Therefore, Li Yuan concluded they were Semi Divine Level geniuses.


    Just in terms of skills, Li Yuan thought it was impossible to kill the enchanting woman in one move¡­ unfortunately, after cultivating the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body,¡± once he fully exerted his power, Li Yuan¡¯s instantaneous Explosive Power was close to a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist.


    Naturally, he accomplished an easy crushing victory.


    ¡°Semi Divine Level geniuses?¡±


    ¡°Both of them were Semi Divine Level geniuses?¡± The two level 20 Origin Martial Artists were shocked.


    Before entering the World within Worlds, they were unaware, but upon arriving in the Middle Realm, being the core fighting force, they naturally got to understand these briefings.


    Li Yuan had killed all Semi Divine Level geniuses in one encounter? To what extent had Li Yuan¡¯s strength reached?


    Just the thought made the two level 20 Origin Martial Artists shudder.


    ¡°Alright, after you report, continue with the patrols, and report to me if there¡¯s any situation,¡± Li Yuan said lightly, walking straight into the tent.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The two level 20 Origin Martial Artists became even more respectful.


    ¡­


    Almost at the instant Freya and Roman perished,


    In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, the number four base of Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, inside that temporarily constructed base,


    in a super-large conference room, over a hundred people awaited, busy.


    On the giant projected map in the center, the map was blurry, but there were numerous lights twinkling on the ground; occasionally, a light would extinguish.


    Each light represented a Martial Artist from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom who had entered the World within Worlds.


    And the extinguishing of a light signified the fall of a Martial Artist.


    The dozens of observers had become somewhat numb; over the last two days, too many lights had gone out.


    The Martial Artists they had sent in had suffered over 80% casualties, and according to their big data analysis¡­ at most, within three days, the remaining First Rank Martial Artists would be exterminated by the Seven Star Civilization.


    There was no way around it.


    On the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side, geniuses like Alicia and over 200 Origin Martial Artists who had made the breakthrough¡­ slaughtering First Rank Martial Artists was too easy.

    Chapter 393: Chapter 258: Principal¡¯s Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)


    Hum~ Li Yuan only felt a flash before his eyes, followed by countless colorful lights zipping past him, and he felt as though he was being swept away by a current, his body even experiencing a sensation of weightlessness.


    His divine sense couldn¡¯t be extended outward.


    <<This probably isn¡¯t the legendary space teleportation, but rather moving along a passage,>> Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After barely more than ten seconds, Li Yuan felt the flowing lights disappear before his eyes, and an invisible force lifted him up from beneath his feet as he rose quickly through the passage, as if buoyed by an unseen force.


    He gently landed on the metallic induction platform.


    He had returned to the entrance of the passage, located within the War Fortress of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    Above his head was a giant dome constructed of metal.


    <<Li Yuan.>>


    <<Li Yuan, you¡¯re finally back.>>


    <<Li Yuan, I¡¯m Tavares.>> A group of figures exuding powerful auras had been waiting for some time and came up to greet him, all sporting smiles and greeting Li Yuan in turn.


    <<Mentor Wu.>>


    <<Yu¡­ Mentor Yu.>> Li Yuan was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the group before him.


    He only recognized Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe.


    In fact, this was his first encounter with Yu Jinghe, and as for the others? He knew their names but couldn¡¯t match them to faces. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But that didn¡¯t prevent Li Yuan from using Divine Palace Inquiry to instantly verify the strength of the group.


    29.9 level!


    29.9 level!


    30.2 level!


    ¡­Two Flying Heaven Martial Artists, and the rest were Top Grade Origin Martial Artists¡­ and from their self-introductions, Li Yuan understood that these Top Grade Origin Martial Artists were definitely the most fearsome among the Seven Star Civilization.


    Each had the strength to fight against a Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    Quickly, through introductions, Li Yuan got to know each of these powerful beings¡­ Lude Nef, An Yongya, Tavares, Dorothy¡­ each one a legendary supreme fighter in the eyes of common folk, their destructive power akin to human-shaped nuclear weapons, exerting tremendous deterrence.


    At this moment, they were all exceedingly polite to Li Yuan.


    <<Honored seniors,>> Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying, <<Why have you all come here?>>


    <<Li Yuan, didn¡¯t you send a message saying the passage was closing and you were preparing to return?>> Wu Manong chuckled, <<You are the number one contributor to this World within Worlds battle, so naturally we came to welcome you.>>


    The first time they met, Wu Manong was quite indifferent to Li Yuan, treating him like a junior.


    Now, though, he was quite enthusiastic.


    <<It¡¯s thanks to the seniors fighting on the outside that the War Base could stand unshaken, allowing us to easily win within the World within Worlds,>> Li Yuan continued, having always been aware of the situation outside.


    <<Haha, alright.>> Lude Nef with his hair in disorder and a smile on his face said, <<Li Yuan, there¡¯s no need for modesty, we¡¯ve seen your contributions. Not to mention other things, just for taking down three demigod-level geniuses, you¡¯re credited with exceptional meritorious service.>>


    <<Moreover, in the last two days, you led a team to kill nearly a thousand warriors from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, which is also a great achievement.>>


    <<When it comes to merits, you are the first.>> Lude Nef laughed, <<It¡¯s already detailed in our alliance¡¯s report, and there¡¯s no need for further dispute over this.>>


    Li Yuan was speechless; his leadership in the last two days had involved using ¡®World within Worlds Inquiry Authorization¡¯ from the Boundary Spirit, akin to having full-map cheats.


    He exposed all those Gu Yue Divine Kingdom warriors who couldn¡¯t return due to the passage closing, one by one.


    In actuality, these warriors were innocent¡­ but in a battle for the existence of a civilization, there was no room for pity.


    It also allowed Li Yuan to gather a vast amount of spiritual nurishment, boosting his Spiritual Awakening Level to 45%, reaching the current limit.


    <<Let¡¯s go.>>


    <<Li Yuan, we have already arranged a feast to honor your return,>> Tavares said with a smile, <<and no need to call us seniors anymore; you are now a Prime Warrior yourself, just call us by our names.>>


    ¡­


    After the feast, Lude Nef, Wu Manong, and other top-tier geniuses took their leave one after another.


    The closure of the portal used by the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom was known to the Seven Stars side, and with that, the Great Battle of the World within Worlds had come to a definitive end.


    Naturally, they didn¡¯t linger in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    The Flying Heaven Martial Artists like Flame Cloud Fox, Dorothy, and others had tasks to attend to, their presence in the Fierce Feather Star Realm destined to be a long-term affair¡­ just the cleanup after this battle would keep them busy for a long time.


    Only Yu Jinghe stayed with Li Yuan.


    <<Li Yuan, today is our first meeting, isn¡¯t it?>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile.


    <<I¡¯ve heard so much about Big Brother Yu.>> Li Yuan replied with a smile, <<In fact, you¡¯re my uncle¡¯s lifesaver, and I¡¯ve always kept that in my heart. I just didn¡¯t find it appropriate to mention it earlier with so many people around.>>


    Big Brother Yu, that was the name Li Yuan had adapted during the feast.


    <<Oh?>> Yu Jinghe expressed surprise.


    Li Yuan immediately recounted the incident of his uncle Li Changzhou trapped in the Rob Sea.


    <<If it hadn¡¯t been for you guarding the War Fortress back then, my uncle would surely have perished,>> Li Yuan said.


    <<That battle¡­>> Yu Jinghe immediately remembered and with a smile said, <<I believe that in the future, you will do the same, making contributions to our entire civilization.>>


    For a top-tier Prime Warrior like Yu Jinghe.


    They enjoyed a wealth of resources from civilization and were highly valued by the upper echelons.


    But many crises involving the Second Level Star Realms required them to fight at the forefront.


    <<Also, congratulations are in order for receiving the inheritance of a demigod-level powerhouse.>> Yu Jinghe said with a smile, <<The legendary Visualization Method is said to be very mystical.>>


    He was also somewhat aware of Li Yuan¡¯s gains.


    <<It was just good luck on my part,>> Li Yuan said with a smile.


    <<It¡¯s because your strength is formidable,>> Yu Jinghe looked at Li Yuan, <<The demigod-level geniuses from the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all formidable¡­ yet they all fell to your hands, which says it all.>>

    Chapter 394: Chapter 258: Principal¡¯s Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)_2


    Li Yuan did not retort but immediately showed curiosity, ¡°Big Brother Yu, is the Visualization Method very rare?¡±


    ¡°Very rare,¡± Yu Jinghe said, ¡°The Visualization Method can only be used by martial artists after divine beings expend their mental energy to condense their ¡®True Form Will¡¯ into some special treasures¡­ It¡¯s not easy even for a divine being to create one, and they wouldn¡¯t bestow it unless they deemed it valuable¡±


    ¡°Moreover, our Seven Star Civilization hasn¡¯t even given birth to a divine being,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a sigh, ¡°As far as I know, aside from a few demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors who obtained it by chance, even some demigods and Star Masters probably haven¡¯t received the Visualization Method.¡±


    ¡°Many demigods and Star Masters don¡¯t have the Visualization Method?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked.


    In an instant, Li Yuan realized the value of the ¡®Visualization Method¡¯ he had in his hands.


    Of course, no one knew that he still had the Visualization Method.


    ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you back.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Fang Hai and the Flame City demigods are on their way to the Fierce Feather Star Realm entrance,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°They are coming specially to welcome you.¡±


    ¡°The principal is coming?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened; he was not surprised that the Flame City demigods would come.


    This was because Li Yuan had specifically sent a message before leaving, which concerned the life and death of Lin Lanyue.


    But the principal?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised. If the title of the number one talent of your civilization from the Blue Star virtual battle was debatable, then, after the battle in the World within Worlds, it has basically been confirmed.¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°Lude Nef and Wu Manong, such proud individuals, were very courteous to you. What do you think that¡¯s for?¡±


    ¡°Because they believe you will definitely catch up with, or even surpass them, in the future,¡± Yu Jinghe said seriously.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, so that was it.


    Strength!


    It¡¯s always formidable strength that convinces people.


    ¡°Therefore, it¡¯s normal for the higher-ups to value you,¡± Yu Jinghe said smilingly, ¡°I too am looking forward to the day you make a name for yourself on Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Mountain?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled; he had never heard of it.


    ¡°You¡¯ll understand once you enter the Martial Divine Hall in July,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s where all the top talents of our entire civilization gather.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    So-called Seven Star Mountain was presumably a place that only those awarded a quota for the Martial God Inheritance could reach.


    ¡°July, huh?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Today was already March 29th.


    July was not far off.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, before we go back, may I sell all the war trophies I¡¯ve collected in the World within Worlds?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    His two storage magical treasures were already more than half full; they needed to be emptied.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Fang Hai and the others are still on their way, selling a few things won¡¯t take too long,¡± Yu Jinghe didn¡¯t mind.


    ¡­


    Inside this war base, a huge appraisal room was already built, and with Li Yuan¡¯s arrival, the group of appraisers began to bustle.


    Rustle~Clang! Clang!


    Li Yuan waved his hand, and a large number of collected treasures quickly fell to the ground, mainly consisting of weapons¡­ apart from the slain demigod-level genius with the enchanting face, suspected to have Flying Heaven Level spiritual power, who had a storage magical treasure.


    People like Mo Hu did not have storage magical treasures and naturally carried very few treasures.


    But little by little adds up.


    After nearly half an hour of detailed testing.


    ¡°Sirs,¡± the middle-aged chief appraiser respectfully said, ¡°For all the treasures, we are willing to offer about 59.3 billion Blue Star Coins.¡±


    ¡°Oh? That much?¡± Yu Jinghe was slightly surprised.


    After all, from his perspective, most of them were just ordinary weapons used by Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Mainly those life-saving items left by a few killed demigod-level geniuses, which drove up the price,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile; he had already checked beforehand and was not surprised by the price.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded slightly.


    With his strength and status, he wouldn¡¯t care too much about a few hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    In fact, Li Yuan didn¡¯t care either; 600 billion Blue Star Coins was definitely a huge sum unimaginable to the common person.


    But mere money? It didn¡¯t mean much to Li Yuan anymore, as most of the treasures he needed for his next phase of cultivation could not be measured in money. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The most important point.


    ¡°This time, apart from the treasures obtained from the Hall of Inheritance and Boundary Spirit,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°the biggest gain was the storage treasure left by that demigod-level genius, astonishingly as large as 6 cubic meters, roughly the size of my storage treasure.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, it contained a Fourth-Rank treasure.¡±


    A 6 cubic meter storage magical treasure in the Seven Star Alliance could easily sell for more than 600 billion Blue Star Coins, a sum Li Yuan had no intention of selling.


    As for Fourth-Rank treasures? These were even more priceless.


    All in all, Li Yuan¡¯s journey to the World within Worlds had garnered him enormous gains; if one were to also count the Semi Divine Artifact, the Five Elements Divine Crystal given by the Boundary Spirit, and the like¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s wealth was now comparable to that of many peak Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡­


    After handing over all the sellable treasures.


    Li Yuan and Yu Jinghe boarded the return journey on the underground train, which shuttled beneath the sprawling district.


    ¡°Over a million people died outright? And the total casualties exceeded six million?¡± Along the way, Li Yuan listened to Yu Jinghe recount the casualties caused in the sprawling district by the Star Realm war, and even he shuddered slightly.


    Those were over a million living people.


    ¡°It was unavoidable.¡±


    ¡°The clashes between Flying Heaven Warriors are too widespread, and that pack of scoundrels from the Immortal Ruins Civilization deliberately slaughtered, even though we did our best, we only managed to barely hold them off,¡± Yu Jinghe said in a low voice tinged with anger.


    ¡°Had you not killed those few demigod-level geniuses in the World within Worlds, making them feel hopeless to compete and now retreat, the actual casualties would have been even greater,¡± Yu Jinghe said coldly, ¡°We have already found out the leader was named Kui Jiu, a genius Prime Warrior from the Chi Divine Race.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Kui Jiu?¡±


    ¡°Chi Divine Race?¡± Li Yuan silently repeated these two names in his heart, engraving them in his memory.


    When he became powerful, if the opportunity arose, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t mind seeking revenge.


    ¡­


    Six hours later.


    The train had covered thousands of kilometers, and Li Yuan finally arrived at the entrance and exit of the Fierce Feather Star Realm and Feixing with Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to leave.¡±


    ¡°The next time I return, it will be when I am cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Second Rank,¡± Li Yuan said, taking one last look at the vast lands of the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    In the last few days within the World within Worlds, aside from annihilating a large number of Martial Artists from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Li Yuan had also visited that mysterious stone chamber, attempting to continue his cultivation of this Supreme Star Technique.


    He failed again.


    It also made Li Yuan understand, that in the short term, there was no way to cultivate this Supreme Star Technique to the pinnacle of the Second Rank.


    He had to wait until his Physical Quality, spiritual power, and Skill Realm were higher before there was hope.


    Sigh!


    The two stepped through the passage between worlds, early martial law was in place along the road, accompanied by a series of uncomfortable invisible fluctuations sweeping through, and they had arrived at the grand hall on the other side.


    Back on Feixing.


    Truly back to the civilization of his hometown¡­ Passing through the breeding area in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, which was also a highly developed human society, but Li Yuan still felt a sense of estrangement in his heart.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan immediately noticed several figures approaching from a distance.


    One of them was Fang Hai, and the auras of the other two were even more elusive and unpredictable.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    All beyond¡ª the limit of Inquiry.


    ¡°It looks like, the Principal¡¯s Life Level should have reached 36.9, or even the legendary 37,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    Only those who practiced the Seven Star Veins could reach Level 37.


    As for Fang Hai¡¯s strength and foundation, Li Yuan still couldn¡¯t figure it out.


    ¡°Principal.¡± Li Yuan stepped forward to greet them, and said respectfully, ¡°And the two seniors.¡±


    ¡°Star Master, two seniors,¡± Yu Jinghe also bowed slightly, but was much more casual.


    ¡°This time, both of you did well,¡± Fang Hai, dressed in black, came up to them and with a sharp gaze on Li Yuan, smiled and said, ¡°Li Yuan, for such great meritorious deeds, and obtaining the Demigod inheritance, I really don¡¯t know what would be appropriate to reward you.¡±


    ¡°Principal will decide,¡± Li Yuan said with a grin.


    ¡°Ha ha.¡± The middle-aged man in red revealed a smile, ¡°You sure are a slick kid.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not shy, that¡¯s for sure,¡± Fang Hai said with a hint of a smile, much more amiable than before.


    Li Yuan also noticed that the man in the green robe had an expressionless face.


    ¡°Let me introduce you, this is the Demigod of Flame City, and this is the Demigod of Qing He,¡± Fang Hai introduced the two men beside him.


    Li Yuan bowed again, but he was secretly astonished in his heart.


    So they were all Demigods, indeed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s talk in the meeting room first,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°Both Demigods have indeed come with questions for you.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He had been prepared in his heart; involved with the Divine Being Inheritance, and even the channel to the Immortal Ruins Civilization had been closed¡­ If the Alliance¡¯s senior leaders let it go so easily, that would be abnormal.


    ¡°Jing He, you go back to Seven Star Mountain first,¡± Fang Hai said to Yu Jinghe, ¡°We¡¯re already calculating your merits. Once it¡¯s all done, we will notify you, and it will be added to your ¡®Seven Stars Points¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Yu Jinghe nodded slightly; their participation in such a major battle also meant their merits would be calculated.


    ¡­


    In the meeting room.


    Only Li Yuan, Fang Hai, the Demigod of Flame City, and the Demigod of Qing He were present.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I am here to question you on behalf of the Alliance,¡± the Demigod of Qing He, wearing a green robe and still showing no smile, said bluntly, ¡°This is not an inquisition, but the Alliance hopes to understand more and expects you to answer truthfully.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°The reports say you killed two Semi Divine Level geniuses with a single move, how did you do it? As far as we know, the most powerful among these Semi Divine Level geniuses have already reached the Fifth Stage High Rank in their skills,¡± the Demigod of Qing He asked directly, ¡°Did you gain any special permissions while in the World within Worlds?¡±


    ¡°No permissions,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°I killed them because my Physical Quality has increased very rapidly¡­ My Physical Quality has reached Level 26.¡±


    ¡°Level 26?¡±


    ¡°That quickly?¡± Both the Demigod of Flame City and the Demigod of Qing He were somewhat surprised.


    They both carried Life Detectors¡­ but with Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, he could easily conceal some of his own aura, making it not difficult.


    Therefore, the Inquiry was not accurate.


    ¡°How did you do it?¡± the Demigod of Qing He asked, frowning, ¡°According to the information, you only obtained one Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡­ It shouldn¡¯t have raised you to Level 26 no matter what.¡±


    His eyes were sharp, trying to see through Li Yuan, and putting subtle pressure on him.


    ¡°Luck,¡± Li Yuan said easily, with his spiritual power, although far from matching his Demigod opponents.


    But resisting a little spiritual pressure was effortless.


    ¡°You need to explain your¡­¡± the Demigod of Qing He was about to press Li Yuan further.


    ¡°Demigod of Qing He,¡± Fang Hai, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, ¡°There is no need to press Li Yuan on things he doesn¡¯t wish to say; he has that right.¡±


    ¡°Right? From where? Why don¡¯t I know about it?¡± the Demigod of Qing He frowned.


    The Demigod of Flame City also showed a hint of surprise.


    ¡°This right, I applied for it from my master before coming here,¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°Li Yuan is a core member of the Starfire Martial Hall, and moreover, a person from Xia Country.¡±


    Instantly, the meeting room fell silent.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch?¡± the Demigod of Qing He was taken aback.


    Fang Hai¡¯s master, that was Dongfang Ji¡­ his issuing of this command was a kind of special protection for Li Yuan.


    Both being Demigods.


    But the Demigod of Qing He knew the difference between himself and Dongfang Ji¡­ Dongfang Ji was a terrifying existence that made many powerful civilizations wary and could do nothing about.


    How many Demigods died at the hands of Dongfang Ji during the battle when the Myriad Demons Civilization invaded Feixing?

    Chapter 396: Chapter 258: Principal¡¯s Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)_4


    Sure!


    In the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji is equivalent to a god. When he issues an order, even all demigods of the supreme alliance council must obey.


    Since he has given the order, Li Yuan has the authority not to answer.


    Then, Li Yuan has.


    ¡°Principal, in fact, it could be said,¡± Li Yuan smiled and said, ¡°in the Divine Palace ruins, I received the inheritance of a demigod under that Fire System Divine, and among the Inheritance Treasures, there was a special treasure that could rapidly enhance Physical Quality.¡±


    This was an excuse Li Yuan had thought of in advance.


    He had also inquired with the Boundary Spirit¡­ apart from himself and Lin Lanyue, no one knew about the Earth System Divine, not even the demigods from Flame City.


    In the past, although the demigod from Flame City had merged with the fragmentary True Phoenix Bloodline, he still fell slightly short of the mark¡­ therefore, he did not become a named disciple.


    And Li Yuan believed that Lanyue would not reveal the secret.


    ¡°Obtained from the demigod inheritance?¡± The Qinghe Demigod frowned, he did not really believe it in his heart.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the demigod inheritance you received, can you talk about the experiences?¡± the Qinghe Demigod asked.


    ¡°Sure, it required passing through multiple tests¡­¡± Li Yuan slightly modified his own Third Layer of tests, telling half-truths and half-lies.


    ¡°But my tests differ slightly from the intelligence reports of the Blazing Flame Family. The ones who come after can only refer to them¡­¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the secrets of the World within Worlds.¡±


    This was a disclaimer, not ensuring the veracity of the information.


    Time passed.


    The Qinghe Demigod posed question after question, to which Li Yuan mostly answered that he did not know.


    Some were genuinely unknown to him, and some he had to feign ignorance.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°One final question, do you know why the other passageway in the World within Worlds is closed?¡± The Qinghe Demigod looked at Li Yuan; this was the issue the higher-ups were very concerned about.


    ¡°I know.¡±


    ¡°I once had the alliance check information about ¡®Chi Divine Race,''¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°It¡¯s because the Fire System Divine in the World within Worlds and this Chi Divine being were enemies, his inheritance naturally wouldn¡¯t allow the descendants of an enemy to receive it.¡±


    ¡°To be enemies with the Chi Divine being?¡± Not just the Qinghe Demigod, even Fang Hai and the demigod from Flame City showed surprise.


    Li Yuan remained calm.


    This was also the real reason¡­ otherwise, in the eyes of the Boundary Spirit, all who entered the World within Worlds were potential ¡®successors;¡¯ how could it show such favoritism?


    It was precisely because the ¡®Chi Divine Race¡¯ was the enemy.


    The Boundary Spirit chose to close that one passageway.


    Li Yuan even suspected that the sudden appearance of a second channel in the World within Worlds was the Boundary Spirit¡¯s desire for more Fire System warriors and Earth System warriors to take part in the inheritance tests.


    ¡°Li Yuan, did you summon me because of Lanyue?¡± the demigod from Flame City suddenly asked.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°As far as I know, Lanyue, due to her bloodline, has become a named disciple of a Fire System Divine,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Deep within the ruins, Lanyue mentioned it to me¡­ You know the specific reason.¡±


    ¡°A named disciple? She has become one?¡± The demigod from Flame City¡¯s eyes lit up, revealing a smile involuntarily. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Of course, he knew the reason.


    More than a hundred years ago, he had luckily merged with the fragmentary True Phoenix Bloodline¡­ although he did not become a disciple of a Divine, the Boundary Spirit also revealed his mission to him.


    It was to produce offspring, to see if among his descendants some would emerge with a higher concentration of the True Phoenix Bloodline.


    Then, by returning to the World within Worlds and merging with another fragment of the True Phoenix Bloodline, there was hope of meeting the minimum requirements to become the master and inherit the Divine Artifact.


    For this reason, the Blazing Flame Family was established.


    The demigod from Flame City had not held such high expectations for Lin Lanyue¡­ yet, to his surprise, it actually happened.


    ¡°The named disciple of a Divine?¡± Fang Hai laughed and said, ¡°Demigod of Flame City, congratulations.¡±


    ¡°Good news.¡± Even the Qinghe Demigod rarely showed a trace of a smile.


    Their status and vision were extremely high, and they clearly understood the concept of a Divine disciple.


    Even if she were only a named disciple, even if the Divine had passed away¡­ the probability of her becoming a Demigod in the future was extremely high.


    It was like with Flying Heaven Warriors, it¡¯s very difficult to train another Flying Heaven Warrior, but to train a Prime Warrior, it¡¯s quite easy.


    And in fact.


    The gap between a Demigod and a Divine¡­ is far greater than the gap between a Prime Warrior and a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you for bringing this news,¡± the demigod from Flame City said with a smile on his face, ¡°this is my V-communication number¡­ If there is anything you need help with in the future, just reach out to me.¡±


    The demigod from Flame City offered his goodwill proactively.


    ¡°Thanks, Demigod.¡± Naturally, Li Yuan accepted this gesture of goodwill; a Demigod was among the highest tiers of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡­


    The demigod from Flame City and the Qinghe Demigod left.


    ¡°Don¡¯t take the questioning from the Qinghe Demigod too much to heart,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°He¡¯s not deliberately targeting you, but just following procedure¡­ Many demigods actually don¡¯t like to do such offensive work.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded, ¡°Thanks to you, Principal, and the command from Elder Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°My master didn¡¯t give a command; I just said it on the spot,¡± Fang Hai said with a faint smile, ¡°Anyway, he dares not ask my master for confirmation.¡±


    Li Yuan was astonished; could one really play it like that?

 Chapter 397: 259: Fang Hais Joy and Shock (Extra 48)

    Chapter 397: Chapter 259: Fang Hai¡¯s Joy and Shock (Extra 48)


    Faking an order from the senior Dongfang Ji? But then thinking about Fang Hai¡¯s strength and identity, Li Yuan let it go.


    Regardless, the interrogation had been passed.


    As for the questions from the Blue River Demigod, Li Yuan didn¡¯t really have any thoughts on it; it was just standard procedure.


    After all, his performance had been too monstrous, too illogical; it was completely normal that the higher-ups of the alliance would have questions and conduct some inquiries.


    This was something any power would do.


    ¡°In the World within Worlds, you must have had some extra big gains.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°But you don¡¯t need to worry too much, even if, as some Demigods suspect, you have received a Divine Being Inheritance, the alliance¡¯s upper echelons won¡¯t take it from you.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    Wow! So there really were Demigods in the alliance who speculated that he had obtained a Divine Being Inheritance.


    ¡°First of all, your talent is extremely high; from the perspective of the entire civilization, it¡¯s impossible to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. You should still trust the alliance¡¯s higher-ups,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°Secondly, about divine inheritances¡­ Our Seven Star Civilization has obtained inheritances from not just one Divine Being,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°Our civilization has Divine Being Inheritances?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Of course, when you soon reach Seven Star Mountain, you will naturally understand,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°If we hadn¡¯t received Divine Being Inheritances, how could our civilization, as a newly promoted Fourth Level Civilization, have risen so quickly in just a few hundred years?¡±


    ¡°And produce so many Demigods? Right now, our civilization has dozens of Demigods, quite a few more than Tianliang Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his heart rather surprised.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization actually had dozens of Demigods? But thinking about it, it wasn¡¯t so strange¡­ Xia Country alone had three Demigods.


    Demigods have a lifespan of a thousand years¡­ at least the Demigods born of the Seven Star Civilization are all still far from reaching the end of their lifespans.


    ¡°Additionally, you have made great contributions this time, and the higher-ups are tallying them up,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°There will definitely be a great reward, just that it requires some time to wait.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The great battle in the World within Worlds had just ended; tallying merits and counting losses indeed required time.


    ¡°I estimate, at the minimum, you will be rewarded with 5000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°Seven Stars Points?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered with confusion.


    Just now, the headmaster and Yu Jinghe mentioned the Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°These are resources needed for purchasing some restricted treasures,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°You should understand that Blue Star Coins¡­ can¡¯t buy Fourth Rank treasures.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    Exactly! Like in the Starfire Treasure Repository, many rare treasures are astonishingly valuable, worth hundreds of billions of Blue Star Coins, or even more.


    But the limit is the Third Rank¡¯s finest treasures.


    Fourth Rank treasures? You can¡¯t even see them in the Starfire Treasure Repository.


    ¡°But with Seven Stars Points, you can exchange for Fourth Rank treasures,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Seven Stars Points correspond to the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ which is the entire civilization¡¯s treasury. The ¡®Starfire Treasure Repository¡¯ that the warriors of the Martial Hall use is just a part of the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, the entire civilization¡¯s treasury?


    There must be a large number of rare treasures.


    Before, Li Yuan was pondering where to procure some treasures for practicing some Star Techniques.


    ¡°Previously, you were too weak, so you weren¡¯t granted access,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°But now, your strength has improved rapidly. Once the rewards come through, they will certainly allow you access.¡±


    ¡°Headmaster,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°how much are 5000 Seven Stars Points actually worth?¡±


    ¡°If you were to trade them for Blue Star Coins,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°one Seven Stars Point can easily be exchanged for a hundred million Blue Star Coins. Many powerful individuals would be willing to trade with you.¡±


    ¡°Normally, like the Myriad Life Extension Fruit you took last time, it¡¯s worth about 1000 points.¡±


    Li Yuan was surprised to hear that.


    So, 5000 Seven Stars Points were worth at least five hundred billion Blue Star Coins?


    The reward wasn¡¯t small.


    ¡°In reality, the value you¡¯ve created far exceeds 5000 Seven Stars Points. Just that one mysterious stone chamber alone, rewarding you with twenty or thirty thousand Seven Stars Points would be justified,¡± Fang Hai spoke frankly. ¡°But you also understand¡­ the treasures of the entire civilization are limited.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯re big expenses everywhere, so the rewards can only be limited.¡±


    ¡°Headmaster, now that my strength is growing stronger, naturally, I should make some contributions,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Not to mention, like the ¡®Myriad Life Extension Fruit¡¯ last time, it was directly awarded as a reward.


    The sheer amount of treasures being almost freely given to cultivate young talents¡­ where does it all come from?


    Naturally, it¡¯s the contributions of the high-ranking powerful beings.


    ¡°Headmaster, I won¡¯t conceal it from you, what I got was indeed a Demigod Inheritance. After all, this is the inheritance site of a Fire System Divine, and his strongest Earth System lineage warriors are only Demigods,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight bow. ¡°However, the Boundary Spirit that controls the entire World within Worlds gave me a lot of help.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve gained quite a few treasures, some of which I don¡¯t need right now,¡± Li Yuan said half-true, half-false. ¡°The most precious of them is a divine Visualization Method.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a flip of his palm, Li Yuan revealed a translucent jade in his hand, emanating a strange fluctuation.


    ¡°Visualization Method?¡± Fang Hai, who had not been too concerned at first, moved his gaze, showing a hint of surprise.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need it for yourself?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I already have one; this is an extra, all left by that Demigod,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°I know the Visualization Method is precious, but I don¡¯t have a better channel, so I was thinking, maybe I could exchange it for some other treasures through you, Headmaster.¡±


    This was the result of Li Yuan¡¯s recent consideration.


    Selling it directly to the Starfire Martial Hall? He didn¡¯t know how much it would be worth¡­ Better find a trustworthy senior.


    Among those Li Yuan knew,


    the strongest and most trustworthy were Fang Hai and Bai Shan, the Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Sell it? Exchange for other treasures?¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, silence for a few seconds before sighing lightly, ¡°You lad, it seems you really don¡¯t understand its value.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s considered priceless at the highest level of civilization, even extremely important to Demigods.¡±


    ¡°In our civilization, there is none to spare; it¡¯s all been used up long ago,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°It¡¯s simply not possible to put it up for sale.¡±


    ¡°All used up?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred slightly, recalling what Yu Jinghe had said not long ago.


    In actuality, Li Yuan might not be ignorant, but he had his own considerations and thoughts.


    He pondered for a moment.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how about this,¡± Fang Hai looked toward Li Yuan, and said slowly, ¡°Sell me the Visualization Method.¡±


    ¡°30,000 Seven Stars Points!¡±


    ¡°Of course, that¡¯s not the true value of the Visualization Method, but that¡¯s all the Seven Stars Points I have on hand right now,¡± Fang Hai said directly, ¡°When I have enough Seven Stars Points later on, I¡¯ll make it up to you. If there¡¯s any treasure you want, you can also tell me.¡±


    30,000 Seven Stars Points? Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled slightly.


    That was definitely enough for his upcoming cultivation needs.


    ¡°Principal, don¡¯t you have a Visualization Method?¡± Li Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.


    Fang Hai was a top-level genius from the Seven Star Civilization, after all.


    ¡°No,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, somewhat wistfully, ¡°Visualization Methods aren¡¯t that easy to come by.¡±


    ¡°Principal.¡±


    ¡°Then 30,000 Seven Stars Points, it is enough,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°This Visualization Method is useless to me, and as for trading with others¡­ I¡¯m afraid other demi-gods might not be willing to give me 30,000 points.¡±


    ¡°With your talent, Principal, having an additional Visualization Method will only make you more fearsome. I think you have hope of reaching the level of a predecessor like Dongfang Ji,¡± Li Yuan said, half-flattering, half sincere.


    Time passed.


    Eventually, on Li Yuan¡¯s strong insistence, Fang Hai obtained the Visualization Method from Li Yuan for 30,000 Seven Stars Points.


    After such a transaction.


    Fang Hai¡¯s view of Li Yuan became increasingly favorable; in the past, he had only regarded Li Yuan as a junior and student worth cultivating¡­ Even though Li Yuan had performed exceptionally well this time, Fang Hai had just appreciated him more.


    But having ¡®cheaply purchased¡¯ the Visualization Method from Li Yuan, Fang Hai suddenly felt¡­ lucky!


    Li Yuan was his great fortune.


    It should be known that Fang Hai had also made efforts to obtain a Visualization Method; Dongfang Ji had helped him¡­ but he had never waited for the right opportunity.


    Now, he had unexpectedly obtained one from Li Yuan.


    ¡°With the Visualization Method, the hope of my breakthrough to the demi-god level spiritual power will be much greater, and the certainty of achieving my goal will naturally be much higher,¡± Fang Hai silently thought.


    The transformation of spiritual power became more difficult as one progressed.


    Prime Warriors with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power? Top-level geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef, whether relying on treasures or through the natural nurture of heaven and earth, could all achieve it.


    But for Flying Heaven Level to have demi-god level spiritual power? Even Fang Hai couldn¡¯t manage that.


    Even true demigods, after their breakthrough, often take decades to nurture their souls with their powerful bodies before their souls truly enter the demi-god realm.


    In short, extremely difficult!


    But having the Visualization Method would increase the hope by more than tenfold.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, in the report you submitted, you said you obtained two Star Techniques, what are they?¡± Fang Hai asked with a smile, ¡°Can you tell me?¡±


    ¡°Actually, there were three.¡±


    ¡°Two of them are Earth System Divine Body Star Techniques, one Seventh Layers, one Fifth Layer,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°But actually, the biggest gain I had in the Divine Palace ruins was the initial mastery of a Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Supreme Star Technique?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression changed, disbelieving as he stared at Li Yuan, even more shocked than when he saw the Visualization Method.


    Because this was a Supreme Star Technique!


    Although Visualization Methods are rare, there are still quite a few¡­ but Fang Hai had never seen anyone learn a Supreme Star Technique.


    ¡°This Star Technique, actually Principal, you know it,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°It is ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ gifted to me by Bai Shan Semi-Divine.¡±


    Quickly.


    Li Yuan changed his story slightly and recounted the true situation with the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.¡¯


    ¡°¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ turns out to be a support-type Supreme Star Technique?¡± Although Fang Hai kept a calm demeanor, his heart was filled with shock.


    ¡°After I awakened my star veins earlier, I cultivated this Star Technique as instructed by Bai Shan Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan said wistfully, ¡°After obtaining the inheritance, I then knew it was a Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    This was what Li Yuan had planned before returning from the World within Worlds.


    To gradually reveal his own talent.


    ¡°No,¡±


    ¡°You just said, you had initially mastered it,¡± Fang Hai seemed to realize something late, staring at Li Yuan as if seeing a monster, ¡°Have you awakened the Nine Layer Star Vein?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Within the depths of the Divine Palace ruins, I transformed and awakened the first Star Meridian to ¡®Nine Layers¡¯, and successfully cultivated this Star Technique to the pinnacle of First Rank,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly, ¡°Principal, please look.¡±


    While saying this, Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts shifted, and he activated his star meridians.


    Boom!


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s deliberate eruption, a hazy earth-yellow glow appeared on the surface of his body, with over a hundred thousand luminous points coming together to form star meridians¡­ revealing them entirely in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Vein?¡± Fang Hai, observing this scene, was thoroughly convinced.


    And in his heart, a storm was already brewing.


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization has finally given birth to its first owner of the Nine Layer Star Vein!¡±

 Chapter 398: 260: Dongfang Jis Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)

    Chapter 398: Chapter 260: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)


    Fang Hai had long known that Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridian talent was extremely high.


    As a member of the highest echelon of the alliance, during numerous meetings, he had discussed Li Yuan with other Star Masters and even Semi-Divine beings¡­ all agreed that Li Yuan would definitely be able to awaken Six Star Veins in the future.


    Seven Star Veins? There was a glimmer of hope.


    Similarly, Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine had also discussed the matter, believing that Li Yuan had the potential to awaken several Seventh Layer Star Veins or even Eighth Layer Star Veins in the future¡­ but Nine Layer Star Veins? Indeed, that was unthinkable!


    Whether it was Seven Star Veins or Nine Layer Star Veins, both were legends in many dimensional planes.


    Had anyone cultivated to that level? Yes! But it was extremely rare, and many Divine beings found it difficult to find disciples with such Star Vein talent.


    Between the two, if one was to say which was more difficult, then the Seven Star Veins were even more challenging.


    But!!


    Even though Fang Hai was confident in Li Yuan and believed in his potential, he could never have imagined¡­ that just less than a month after becoming a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan had already awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein.


    He had even mastered the basics of a Ninefold Star Technique, truly cultivating it to the First Order Limit.


    This! It was beyond the limits of his imagination¡­ like an elder who had high hopes for a younger relative, thinking that with decades of hard work in cultivation, the relative might have the chance to become a millionaire, whereas the young one directly reveals a wealth surpassing hundreds of millions.


    ¡°Inconceivable! A monster!¡± Fang Hai could no longer hide the shock on his face.


    In the past, he had always considered himself highly talented and gifted, barely giving way even to his master, ¡®Dongfang Ji¡¯. He had always aimed to emulate his own master.


    But now?


    After a long moment.


    ¡°Li Yuan, conceal your Star Veins and Star Technique,¡± Fang Hai finally regained his composure, his face now showing a trace of solemnity: ¡°You haven¡¯t leaked the news of your awakening of the Nine Layer Star Vein to anyone else, have you?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan replied, shaking his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Fang Hai said, staring intently at Li Yuan, his voice low: ¡°Remember, this is a major secret, you can¡¯t tell anyone, even Dean Hai or Bai Shan Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°You must never reveal it.¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression was more serious than ever before, even more than when he first saw the ¡®Visualization Method¡¯


    ¡°Not even Bai Shan Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked hesitantly.


    ¡°No!¡±


    Fang Hai spoke earnestly: ¡°The more people who know, the greater the risk of it being leaked¡­ You simply do not understand that once the news of your awakening of the Nine Layer Star Vein is leaked, it could cause an immense storm.¡±


    ¡°How many Star Veins have you awakened now?¡± Fang Hai inquired.


    ¡°Four,¡± Li Yuan replied: ¡°Additionally, three of them are at the Fifth Layer, Second Layer, and Second Layer, respectively. That¡¯s why I was able to achieve the First Order Limit by mastering another Body Refining Star Technique of the Fifth Layer.¡±


    ¡°No wonder you were able to easily solve two Semi Divine Level geniuses,¡± Fang Hai nodded slightly: ¡°If you cultivated for another ten years, awakening Six Star Veins and then awakening another Nine Layer Star Vein¡­ it would still be shocking, but it would be within the realm of comprehension.¡±


    ¡°But what about now?¡±


    ¡°Less than a month after becoming a Prime Warrior, at only Level 26, your spiritual power merely at Flying Heaven, your skill probably hasn¡¯t reached the Sixth Stage¡­ and yet you¡¯ve awakened your Star Veins to this extent.¡±


    ¡°Such talent, to say you won¡¯t awaken Seven Star Veins in the future¡­ I suppose no one would believe it.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Even what¡¯s called Divine-Grade ¡®Eight Star Veins¡¯ might not be completely out of the question.¡±


    Li Yuan was listening.


    Divine? Based on what he knew, the Ancient Torch Divine was one of the stronger ones among the Divine beings, with only Seven Star Veins.


    Even Gu You¡¯s highest expectation for him was only to awaken Eight Star Veins.


    All this was enough to prove just how rare and hard to come by seven or Eight Star Veins were.


    ¡°A tall tree catches the wind.¡±


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization is at war with many powerful civilizations for some special reasons,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly: ¡°Especially the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ that is a powerful civilization that has produced more than one Divine being, always coveting our Seven Star Civilization, trying to completely conquer us.¡±


    ¡°The two wars that almost destroyed Feixing in history were both started by the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Your current performance is already enough of a genius.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Once the news of the great war in the World within Worlds gradually spreads¡­ The Myriad Demons Civilization will target you and secretly attempt to assassinate you.¡±


    ¡°Assassinate?¡± The memory of the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s attempt to assassinate him crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°If they learn of your terrifying Star Vein talent, they would likely go to any length, even bewitch the Flying Heaven Level and Semi-Divine of our civilization to come to kill you,¡± Fang Hai said gravely.


    Li Yuan was shocked to hear this, bewitch the Semi-Divine of a civilization?


    Was that not madness?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised, the vast majority of the Flying Heaven Martial Artists and Semi-Divine in a civilization are naturally good,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes were firm: ¡°But human desires are infinite, never test human hearts¡­ In history, there have been cases of Semi-Divine betraying our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine betrayal?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled; this was definitely top-secret information.


    Semi-Divine, that was the pinnacle of a civilization¡¯s martial power.


    ¡°In short.¡±


    ¡°Not to be disclosed.¡± Fang Hai said earnestly: ¡°I will report to my master, but from now on, aside from myself and my master, you cannot tell anyone else, understood?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan realized the seriousness of the situation.


    It seemed the conflict and hostility between the Seven Star Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization had reached such a critical point.


    It sounded like.


    Other civilizations, like the Tianliang and Cloud Beast Civilizations, were not the true threats¡­ It was the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Once you gradually grow stronger.¡±


    ¡°Once you are at the Flying Heaven Level, even a Semi-Divine, you will have no fear of storms.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan: ¡°At the moment, you can barely protect yourself¡­ but you are still far from truly dominating a sector.¡±


    ¡°The student will surely work hard,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°You must be tired from your journey, rest here for a while; I have some matters to attend to. When I return, we¡¯ll head back to Blue Star together,¡± Fang Hai said. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­ Watching Fang Hai leave the conference room, Li Yuan sat in the chair, silently circulating his Star Veins and regulating his breath.

 Chapter 399: 260: Dongfang Jis Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)_2

    Chapter 399: Chapter 260: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°It should be enough to show,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself.


    During his time in the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had been pondering a question.


    The strength he had revealed in this battle was defying the heavens.


    What if someone from the Seven Star Civilization, a Demigod, was determined to pry into his secrets?


    On his own, he couldn¡¯t withstand the scrutiny of a Demigod.


    The inquiry from the Demigod Qinghe seemed routine, but it also added to Li Yuan¡¯s worries¡­ If Fang Hai hadn¡¯t been there to interfere, would Qinghe have pursued his questioning to the end?


    From past experiences, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization don¡¯t tend to be shortsighted, generally speaking, they are quite just.


    However, it¡¯s never wrong to be cautious.


    Therefore, in a very short period of time,


    Li Yuan thought of three strategies to respond.


    Firstly, if a Demigod were spying on him, it would be because they suspected he possessed a valuable treasure. So, he would offer a treasure, which led to Li Yuan producing the ¡°Visualization Method¡±.


    Secondly, he needed to find a real powerful backer within the alliance.


    Bai Shan Demigod? He could ask, but wasn¡¯t persuasive enough! He might not deter the other Demigods, so if he were to seek the strongest, but could not find Dongfang Ji¡­ Li Yuan chose Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai was a direct disciple of Dongfang Ji, a man from Xia Country, and the Hall Master of Starfire Martial Hall in Blue Star¡­ in every respect, he was definitely from the direct line of Dongfang Ji¡¯s own faction.


    His character also inspired quite a bit of trust in Li Yuan.


    ¡°I am also a member of Starfire Martial Hall, a person from Xia Country,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°and even more so, the Principal¡¯s student, sharing a bond of mentorship¡­ should I present the Principal with a ¡®Visualization Method¡¯?¡±


    Seniors investing in juniors don¡¯t necessarily expect repayment¡­ but if the juniors remember and appreciate the kindness, the seniors are certainly very pleased.


    ¡°The Principal¡¯s status is already comparable to that of a Demigod, and I¡¯ll become the Principal¡¯s direct line,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Essentially, this means entering the most core circle of the Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Then, Senior Dongfang Ji¡­ would become my strongest support!¡± Li Yuan thought thoroughly.


    The third step, and most crucial first step¡ªreveal one¡¯s talents.


    Allies can falter, so the strongest backup must be oneself¡­ thus Li Yuan demonstrated his extraordinary talent to Fang Hai to prove his own value.


    ¡°Step by step.¡±


    ¡°In a situation where the Principal already had a very good impression of me, to further highlight my own value,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Barring any accidents, the Principal would quickly get in touch with Senior Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°And grant me¡­ the best cultivation conditions in the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°My only problem is that I¡¯ve revealed my talents a bit too quickly,¡± Li Yuan muttered. ¡°But, desperate times call for desperate measures. If I do not thoroughly impress the Principal in one go, with his talent and strength, he might not regard me so highly.¡±


    In Li Yuan¡¯s view, at a minimum, Fang Hai possessed Six Star Pulse, and might even have awakened Seven Star Veins.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan reviewed his thoughts and deliberated,


    in the top-most confidential room of this base, a highly secret chamber,


    Countless rays of light converged, forming a large projection.


    Fang Hai waited patiently, for several minutes, when suddenly, the screen trembled slightly.


    A blurred figure appeared on the projection.


    Fang Hai¡¯s eyes brightened and he bowed slightly, saying, ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Hai, what¡¯s the matter that you activated encrypted communication?¡± The soft voice of the blurred figure echoed in the room.


    ¡°It¡¯s important.¡±


    ¡°I feared being spied upon, so I initiated the highest level of encryption on the virtual network,¡± Fang Hai said gravely.


    ¡°Speak,¡± said the blurred figure, knowing his disciple well.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the same Li Yuan I¡¯ve mentioned to you before,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°He has just returned from the Fierce Feather Star Realm. In the World within Worlds, he¡­¡±


    Fang Hai quickly relayed Li Yuan¡¯s general situation. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The blurred figure listened silently, being the strongest in the entire civilization, the absolute number one.


    In his eyes, his enemies and competitors were unimaginably strong, even including deities from other civilizations.


    Li Yuan? His performance, though outstanding, was considered by the figure to be¡ªquite good.


    Even when hearing about the ¡°Visualization Method,¡± the blurred figure showed no reaction.


    But then!


    When Fang Hai said, ¡°Li Yuan has awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein and cultivated a Supreme Star Technique to its First Order Limit¡­¡±


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Vein?¡± the blurred figure finally spoke, ¡°Are you certain?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve personally verified it, no doubt about it,¡± Fang Hai stated solemnly.


    Silence followed; Fang Hai knew his master was contemplating.


    After a while,


    ¡°Order him not to leak any information,¡± the softened voice of the blurred figure instructed. ¡°Additionally, when he arrives at Seven Star Mountain, on the surface, provide him with a series of cultivation treasures following the normal process¡­ but secretly, start providing him with the highest level of cultivation on Seven Star Mountain starting next month.¡±


    ¡°In the months before he reaches Seven Star Mountain, let him stay within your watch, protect him well.¡±


    ¡°Everything as usual.¡±


    ¡°I will handle it well, and you make sure he cooperates. Before he truly grows strong, he must not reveal his true Star Meridian talent¡­ no Demigod, no Star Master, must know,¡± the blurred figure spoke. ¡°Understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± replied Fang Hai earnestly.


    ¡°Perhaps, my Seven Star Civilization might give rise to another invincible Semi-Divine being, or even¡­ a Divine being,¡± the blurred voice said.


    A trace of anticipation also filled Fang Hai¡¯s heart.


    The talent that Li Yuan had revealed was indeed unbelievably strong.


    ¡°How is your cultivation progressing? Have you been able to advance?¡± the blurred figure inquired again.


    ¡°The Law of the Great Dao is difficult, progress is slow,¡± Fang Hai said quietly. ¡°I have disappointed you, Teacher.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s normal.¡±


    ¡°The Law of the Great Dao, the essential mystery of the universe, is extremely hard for anyone with Flying Heaven Level spiritual power to comprehend¡­ You¡¯ve achieved entrance and are already considered a rare genius throughout the civilization,¡± the blurred figure spoke slowly. ¡°When I was at the Flying Heaven Level, I was not as advanced as you.¡±


    ¡°But Teacher, you stood at the very pinnacle among the Demigods at that time,¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help saying.

    Chapter 400: Chapter 260: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Command! Concealed Cultivation (Additional Releases 49, 50)_3


    ¡°So, don¡¯t slack off, you have the potential to surpass your teacher,¡± the blurry figure said, ¡°Just be patient, the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ judging by the time, it should soon emerge.¡±


    ¡°If you can succeed, you will truly have a chance to break through the ¡®Seventh Leaf World¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The disciple dares not compare with the teacher, but I will give it my all,¡± Fang Hai said.


    In the eyes of outsiders, he was a supreme powerhouse commanding respect, who could swiftly gather dozens or hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors with a single command¡­ but in front of his teacher, he was always very respectful.

    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai once again stepped into the conference room, his expression appearing quite indifferent, as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°Principal,¡± Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, back to Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The two quickly descended the stairs, and not far from the war base was the airport.


    ¡°Which aircraft shall we take?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°No need for an aircraft,¡± Fang Hai revealed a slight smile, ¡°True powerhouses rely on their own power to fly.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Hum~


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, so strong that he couldn¡¯t resist at all.


    Boom! Fang Hai, carrying Li Yuan, shot into the sky, and their speed quickly soared to several times the speed of sound.


    Much faster than a regular aircraft.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warrior!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Flying Heaven Warrior, the instrument indicates a speed of 2642 meters/second!!¡± In the war base, a warrior responsible for high-altitude Inquiry immediately detected them.


    ¡°Approaching seven times the speed of sound?¡±


    ¡°Definitely a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior!!¡±


    ¡°Too bad we can¡¯t see who it is.¡±


    ¡­


    As Fang Hai carried Li Yuan and flew directly toward Feixing, the transportation hub of the Third Star Realm on Blue Star,


    In another grand city of Feixing, the Qinghe Semi Divine had already returned to their own garrison.


    ¡°Not right!¡±


    ¡°Something is off.¡± The Qinghe Semi Divine suddenly realized the problem, ¡°If the Alliance Hierarch had really issued a command ¡®to allow Li Yuan not to answer,¡¯ San Ye would definitely have told me.¡±


    ¡°Even if it was issued later, San Ye would have definitely communicated with me.¡±


    San Ye Semi Divine was another highly respected Semi Divine of the Starfire Martial Hall and was the one Dongfang Ji trusted the most.


    They were in charge of the routine affairs of the Starfire Martial Hall all year round.


    Thinking of this.


    ¡°Beep~¡± Qinghe Semi Divine had naturally ascertained the truth without hesitation, and immediately dialed San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s communication.


    Soon.


    ¡°Qinghe? What¡¯s the matter?¡± A gentle voice rang out.


    ¡°San Ye, I want to report Fang Hai,¡± Qinghe Semi Divine said with a hint of anger in the voice, ¡°He dared to misuse the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s order, interfering with my normal Inquiry into Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± The gentle voice seized on the key point, ¡°Is it that Li Yuan from Xia Country who just made great contributions in the Fierce Feather Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him,¡± Qinghe Semi Divine was about to continue, ¡°He did make great contributions, but he¡­¡±


    ¡°Qinghe Semi Divine.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch did indeed issue a command, from now on, all affairs concerning Li Yuan will no longer be the responsibility of your internal oversight department,¡± said the gentle voice, ¡°You are not allowed to investigate further, everything is to be directly managed by Star Master Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± the Qinghe Demigod exclaimed in shock, ¡°When was the order issued?¡±


    ¡°Classified, I cannot divulge.¡±


    ¡­


    Almost at the exact same time,


    in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.


    ¡°Have you gathered all the information on Li Yuan?¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes faintly reddened.


    ¡°We have, it¡¯s confirmed that Freya and Roman were indeed killed by the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s genius Li Yuan, but the specific means he used are still unknown,¡± several officials replied with heads bowed, fearing to enrage Mintian Hou.


    These past few days,


    Mintian Hou had been like a furious lion, even injuring a close Flying Heaven Warrior to the point of severe injury in his anger, making everyone in the office fear for their safety.


    ¡°Spread the word! Go and broadcast it far and wide!¡±


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Exaggerate his performance even more, send it to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization¡­ send it to all the hostile forces against the Seven Star Civilization.¡± Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes were filled with endless hatred, ¡°Hurry, I want to hear of his death as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the several officials replied as if pardoned from death, quickly leaving.


    Leaving only Mintian Hou standing in the empty conference room.


    ¡°Genius?¡±


    ¡°Unprecedentedly monstrous talent?¡± Hatred seethed in Mintian Hou¡¯s eyes, ¡°Dare to spoil my plans, he must die! Must die!¡±


    His personality had always been one of retaliation for every grievance.


    As for whether Li Yuan would retaliate, Mintian Hou was never concerned.


    However formidable, could he possibly kill his way into the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?


    ¡­


    Not long after,


    the Myriad Demons Civilization, located in another dimensional plane, had already received the message from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.


    A few of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven Warriors, looking at the intelligence in their hands.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°What? A genius completely surpassing Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai? The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s first genius in history?¡±


    ¡°One move to annihilate two Semi Divine Level talents? Fake, surely! Impossible!¡±


    ¡°Is the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom suffering too great a loss, deliberately exaggerating to use us to eliminate Li Yuan?¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors were very astute, quickly sensing something was off with the intelligence.


    It was too detailed.


    Only a few days had passed, could the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom really have gathered intelligence to this extent? It was illogical.


    The probability of exaggeration was high.


    ¡°But no matter what, this Li Yuan¡¯s talent must certainly be extremely high, we should make a thorough inquiry into him.¡±


    ¡°Collect his information.¡±


    ¡°The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom certainly wants to use us to kill with a borrowed knife, but my Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ we¡¯ve always wanted to kill the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s top talents anyway.¡±


    ¡°If the opportunity arises, we must assassinate him,¡± these Flying Heaven Warriors quickly reported upwards.


    Eventually, the order came through¡ªassassinate!


    The vast Myriad Demons Civilization had deep infiltration into the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but for the powerful Myriad Demons Civilization, ordinary Prime Warrior talents simply weren¡¯t worth the effort of elimination.


    Only those with Semi Divine Level gifts warranted vigilance.


    Of course,


    every assassination against a super talent often took a long time to prepare, requiring detailed intelligence gathering first.

    ¡­


    Just half a day.


    Li Yuan had already followed Fang Hai, traversing the Star Realm and planets, returning to the long-missed Blue Star.


    Above Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°Back again,¡± Li Yuan looked down at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar campus below.


    In the past month, he had changed too much and experienced too much.


    ¡°From now until July, don¡¯t go out and venture,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°just stay in the school and cultivate in peace until you go to the Martial Divine Hall in July.¡±


    ¡°Your permissions have been elevated to the peak of the Flying Heaven Level, and the Seven Stars Treasure Vault has been opened¡­ If you miss your family, arrange for someone from the Martial Hall to bring them to the school,¡± Fang Hai instructed.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He knew what the principal meant.


    Safety! Everything for safety! Too many people were watching him now.


    And his current strength, though seeming much stronger than before¡­ was actually more dangerous.


    ¡°Go on,¡± Fang Hai waved his hand, ¡°if there¡¯s anything, contact me directly.¡±


    On the way back, Li Yuan had already added the principal¡¯s V-Message.


    Hum~


    An invisible force rapidly carried Li Yuan down several hundred meters, gently landing him on the grassy lawn.


    ¡°Incredible.¡±


    ¡°Is this the threshold of the Law? Directly using the force of heaven and earth to fly others?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In the high skies, Fang Hai¡¯s figure had already disappeared.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Damn, Brother Yuan, you¡¯re back?¡± A surprised shout rang out, followed by the nearby villa¡¯s gate swinging open.


    Whoosh! A graceful figure instantly rushed out, excitedly hugging Li Yuan.


    It was Gu Qianghan.


    ¡°Brother Yuan, you came to see me as soon as you got back? Missed me?¡± Gu Qianghan said with excitement.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this my villa?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°No! This is my villa; look at the villa number,¡± Gu Qianghan also seemed puzzled.


    Li Yuan glanced at the villa number and immediately understood¡ªFang Hai had sent him to the wrong place.


    ¡­Li Yuan returned to Kunlun Martial University, which only caused a little stir in the Sixth Institute and did not create too much of a disturbance.


    Most people.


    would only think that Li Yuan disappeared during this time to venture into the Star Realm or underwent special training by Starfire Martial Hall/the school.


    After all, having won the virtual battle championship, there was no doubt about Li Yuan¡¯s talent, and he no longer had to care about the school¡¯s curriculum.


    The war in the Fierce Feather Star Realm? Maybe it would spread in the future, but it wouldn¡¯t reach the Blue Star for the time being.


    ¡­Inside the villa.


    ¡°Aunt, I was just out for some special training for a period, which is why I couldn¡¯t be contacted,¡± Li Yuan spoke to his family on the phone.


    In the projection, his uncle Li Changzhou¡¯s complexion was much better than before.


    Li Changzhou had already taken the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit; with so much time having passed, his body had recovered, and his Physical Quality had even reached Level 10 again.


    ¡°Muhua signed a contract with the Martial Hall? A D-level contract?¡± Li Yuan also heard about his brother¡¯s news and couldn¡¯t help smiling, ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Talking with his family, looking at the smiles on his aunt and uncle¡¯s faces, Li Yuan smiled subconsciously as well.


    His heart grew even more peaceful.


    Wandering and fighting in the Star Realm, clashing with powerful beings from Foreign Domains¡­ wasn¡¯t it for this very moment?


    ¡­


    Upon returning to Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan¡¯s life once again resumed its tranquility.


    Inside the villa.


    ¡°From now until the assembly in July going to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°There are three more months,¡± Li Yuan sat in the underground Martial Arts Room, silently pondering, ¡°Cultivation can¡¯t be delayed. I need to set a new training plan.¡±


    ¡°First of all, I must strive to raise my Physical Quality to Level 29 as soon as possible!¡± S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I will come to see you in ten minutes,¡± a gentle voice sounded.

    ¡°Only three days back and the principal wants to see me again?¡± Li Yuan was startled.

    ¡°`


    ¡°If we¡¯re talking about real strength, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m still not a match for my teacher.¡±


    Li Yuan responded with a smile, ¡°The teacher¡¯s physical quality has long reached 29.9 degrees, much stronger than me. If he were to use his Star Technique, it would only be more terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, the teacher¡¯s newly-understood True Intent Killing Move has not yet been truly unleashed,¡± Li Yuan added.


    In the past two months, Li Yuan had often sparred with Li Yang in practical combat, aware of Li Yang¡¯s real strength.


    With a Second Order Limit in physical quality and practicing two Star Techniques, his strength would be extremely formidable once unleashed.


    Among the dozens of top-grade Prime Warriors at Kunlun Martial University, Li Yang was ranked in the top five.


    Especially since his spiritual power reached the Flying Heaven Level, his skills had continuously improved, and in less than half a year, he had completely surpassed Dean Xu.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a physical quality advantage, nothing more,¡± Li Yang shook his head and said, ¡°Your physical quality is now close to 28 degrees. In the earlier fight, you were at an absolute disadvantage, yet you managed to defeat me. Even if I used my newly created True Intent¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Enough already, let¡¯s not have you students and teachers praising each other anymore,¡± Dean Xu finally could not stand listening any longer and interrupted, ¡°One is about to head to the Martial Divine Hall as Blue Star¡¯s top talent of his generation, the other soon to become a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ both of you are just showing off in front of me, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Li Yuan and Li Yang were stunned at first, then both burst into laughter.


    After a moment,


    The two of them put away their weapons.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the graduation ceremony is next week, join us for it,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯m heading to Feixing right away. If I hold a separate ceremony for you later, I won¡¯t be able to attend.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re going to Feixing immediately?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Every top-grade Prime Warrior, if their skills reach the Fifth Stage High Rank and they invent a True Intent Killing Move, can apply to go to Feixing for a special training session provided by the alliance once,¡± Dean Xu explained from the side. ¡°Your teacher is qualified now.¡±


    ¡°When he returns, he is likely to have become a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Dean Xu¡¯s eyes showed a hint of envy.


    ¡°Congratulations Teacher, good luck Teacher,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened as he said with a laugh, ¡°I wish Teacher an early success in becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Stop making fun of me,¡± Li Yang said with a shake of his head, ¡°It is true I just created the True Intent Killing Move, much quicker than I had anticipated.


    ¡°But Li Yuan, your Skill Realm is even higher than mine¡­ you should know how difficult it is to truly perfect a True Intent Killing Move,¡± Li Yang sighed, ¡°If I can truly break through to reach Fifth Stage Perfection and become a Flying Heaven Warrior in three years, that would be excellent.¡±


    ¡°Perfecting a True Intent Killing Move certainly is tough,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly.


    In these two months, besides perfecting the second True Intent Killing Move, he had only come up with the third True Intent Killing Move, and even the third one was not yet fully accomplished¡­ his comprehension of skills had not yet reached the Fifth Stage Limit, and the cultivation of skills indeed became harder as one advanced.


    ¡°Teacher, I will apply for the graduation ceremony,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect to have only spent a year at university.¡±


    Li Yang and Dean Xu, hearing this, couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°Haha, you must be the fastest graduating student in the history of Kunlun Martial University,¡± Dean Xu said with a laugh, ¡°Not even 18 when you enrolled, and not even 19 when you graduate.¡±


    ¡°Who knows, in the future, you might even become the most outstanding graduate of Kunlun Martial University,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    Dean Xu and Li Yuan were both taken aback at this remark.


    After all, the most outstanding graduate in the history of Kunlun Martial University was Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Li Yuan started to say.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be modest,¡± Li Yang said with a smile, ¡°Martial Arts Cultivation is full of hardships, but young men should always have dreams. Although senior Dongfang Ji is strong, there¡¯s always hope for those who come after to surpass him.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s never a strongest, only stronger.¡±


    ¡°Why can¡¯t my student be that person?¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile, ¡°Work hard, and when your biography spreads across the Seven Stars, you can also include me in it.¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s what you¡¯re aiming for,¡± Dean Xu quickly picked up the conversation.


    They all laughed again.


    But in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, he was also silently thinking, ¡°Indeed, why can¡¯t it be me?¡±


    ¡­


    Night fell, and in the Martial Arts Room of the underground villa,


    ¡°Who would have thought,¡±


    ¡°In the blink of an eye, I almost have the strength comparable to Teacher Li Yang,¡± Li Yuan reflected with some emotion.


    Li Yuan still remembered.


    The impression Teacher Li Yang made on him at last year¡¯s Jiangbei Martial University event, so strong and terrifying, like a War God.


    With that thought, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡°Nine Leaves Purple Spirit, Bone Flame Divine Spring, the effects are indeed extremely good,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself. ¡°In just two months, along with normal Origin Power cultivation, my physical quality soared from 26 degrees to 27.7 degrees.¡±


    This was an exaggerated improvement, and Li Yuan¡¯s Basic Fist Strength had grown significantly.


    With normal physical exertion, his running speed was nearly close to the speed of sound.


    ¡°With the rapid improvement of my physical quality and combined with the ¡®Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯, my spiritual power has also grown very quickly,¡± Li Yuan felt that his decision to purchase treasures was incredibly correct.


    Boost your physical quality at full speed.


    The stronger the foundation, the more vigorous the life force will become.

    Chapter 407: Chapter 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_2


    The awakening of a single Star Meridian becomes increasingly difficult as one proceeds.


    And the leap in spiritual power has made Li Yuan¡¯s skill level improve all the more rapidly.


    Especially after creating the third True Intent Killing Move, it allowed him to easily break through the minor bottleneck at 90% of the Fifth Stage.


    It could be said that Li Yuan¡¯s skill level had truly reached the Flying Heaven Level.


    However, even with a talent as great as Li Yuan¡¯s and with the aid of various external factors, after reaching the Fifth Stage Perfection, his cultivation and comprehension speed inevitably slowed down quite a bit.


    ¡°One step at a time,¡± Li Yuan said silently to himself, ¡°Now, there¡¯s no need to deliberately pursue rapid progress in True Intent Comprehension¡­ Let it come naturally, and with the creation of more True Intent Killing Moves, it¡¯s only a matter of time before stepping into the Sixth Stage Skills.¡±


    Li Yuan was quite at ease now, given that his skills had improved at a terrifying pace.


    If one were to only consider skill level among peers, even the principal at 19 might not have been able to keep up with him.


    ¡°I¡¯m about to graduate.¡±


    ¡°And in just over half a month, I¡¯ll set off for the Martial Divine Hall in Feixing,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Unfortunately, per the principal¡¯s order, I can¡¯t return to Jiang City right now¡­ At the end of the month, when Muhua and the others are on vacation, I¡¯ll arrange for someone from the Martial Hall to bring my aunt and uncle over to the school for a few days¡¯ holiday.¡±


    Once he went to the Martial Divine Hall in Feixing, returning to Jiang City would become even more difficult.


    ¡°Just that¡­¡±


    ¡°Two months have passed, and Lanyue still hasn¡¯t come out?¡± a thought flitted through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Even though he had left the Fierce Feather Star Realm, Li Yuan still kept a close watch on the World within Worlds.


    But there had been no news at all.


    ¡°Continue to cultivate Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan calmed himself and started cultivating the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± again.


    With each improvement in physical quality, Li Yuan would try to practice two Star Techniques each time.


    He never reached the requirements for cultivating the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± at the Second Level.


    But a week ago, as his physical quality improved, Li Yuan found he could finally attempt to imprint the Second Level Star Mark of the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± on his Star Meridians.


    Now, he had successfully cultivated the ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± to the Second Level 2.


    ¡°The ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ at Second Level 2, overall level is 7; the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ is at First Order 9 levels, overall level is 9,¡± Li Yuan thought vaguely, ¡°If I calculate it this way, does that mean if I cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the First Order Limit, its power would be nearly as strong as the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ at the Second Order Limit?¡±


    If his guess was true.


    A Nine Layers Star Technique, when cultivated to the Third Rank Limit by a Flying Heaven Warrior, the overall level should be 27.


    And a Demigod using a Sixth Layer Star Technique, when cultivated to the Fourth Rank Limit, the overall level would only be 24?


    ¡°It seems my conjecture is probably true.¡±


    ¡°A Demigod¡¯s Fifth Layer Star Technique, compared with a Flying Heaven¡¯s use of a Supreme Star Technique, the difference in power would naturally be immense,¡± Li Yuan realized, which explained why those Level 37 Flying Heaven Warriors could fight and even slay many Demigods out of their league.


    The foundation is close! The skill level is close!


    If the Star Technique power of a Flying Heaven Warrior is terrifying enough, they can indeed manage to fight beyond their rank.


    ¡°Then, what if I could cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ during the Prime Warrior stage?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew more expectant.


    He calmed his mind.


    ¡°Take it slowly,¡± Li Yuan continued to painstakingly cultivate the Star Technique ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body,¡± imprinting Star Marks on one Life Star after another.


    ¡­


    As days went by, Li Yuan continued to practice diligently.


    During this time, he also submitted his graduation application.


    Within just one hour, it was approved ¡ª he was allowed to graduate.


    ¡°Why do I feel like the school can¡¯t wait for me to graduate?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, not placing too much importance on it.


    ¡­June 8th.


    Like usual, Li Yuan practiced spear technique, but today he was doing so on the lawn outside the villa.


    ¡°The spear must be fierce, swift and as fast as lightning.¡±


    ¡°Unlike the sword, the variability of spear movements should be swifter than those of Sword Technique and Swordsmanship,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently on the Spear Technique.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan noticed his smart ring vibrating; a thought told him who it was: ¡°Senior Liu?¡±


    He stopped practicing and tapped the light screen.


    Whoosh~ A small projection of the light screen appeared, showing the figure of Liu Jing.


    ¡°Senior Liu,¡± Li Yuan greeted with a smile, ¡°what can I do for you? You¡¯re suddenly getting in touch.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°I should arrive at Kunlun Martial University tomorrow,¡± the elder in the light screen said with a laugh, ¡°It¡¯s been decades, and I don¡¯t know too many people anymore, so I thought maybe you were still at school and decided to call and ask.¡±


    ¡°Senior coming to the school¡­¡± Li Yuan was about to continue when a flash of shock crossed his eyes, ¡°Senior, you¡¯ve returned to Blue Star? What about the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right; the major pathways in the Mingxu Star Realm have just undergone some changes and are continuously expanding,¡± Liu Jing¡¯s voice became serious, ¡°It has been upgraded to the Second Level Star Realm¡­ It now allows beings below Level 27 to pass through, and I estimate that it will soon stabilize completely, allowing all Second Rank beings to pass through.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, I took the opportunity to come back to Xia Country,¡± Liu Jing said with a smile.


    ¡°It really got upgraded?¡± Li Yuan was shocked.


    Before, he often heard about sudden upgrades to star realms and had similar descriptions in textbooks and general knowledge classes¡­ But this was his first real contact with one.


    ¡°The upgrading of the Mingxu Star Realm to a Second Level Star Realm is within our expectations,¡± Liu Jing said sentimentally, ¡°After all, this star realm is too vast and has given birth to countless lives, as well as many Flying Heaven level beings¡­ In fact, its essence should be much stronger than most Second Level Star Realms.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    Indeed.


    Compared to the ¡®Fierce Feather Star Realm,¡¯ a Second Level Star Realm he had visited, the Mingxu Star Realm was much larger and more fascinating.


    It¡¯s just that he was too weak during his last visit and did not dare to explore deeply or adventurously beyond the frontier bases.

    Chapter 408: Chapter 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_3


    ¡°Now that the Star Realm has upgraded, what¡¯s the plan from above?¡± Li Yuan asked with considerable curiosity.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve heard about some of your accomplishments, Blue Star¡¯s virtual combat champion, you must have very high clearance, so it¡¯s no problem to share some details.¡± Liu Jing said with a smile, ¡°The state is likely preparing to fully develop the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ planning to set it up as a breeding area.¡±


    ¡°A breeding area?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and he nodded, ¡°The environment in the Mingxu Star Realm is extremely good. If it¡¯s developed as a breeding zone, it won¡¯t be difficult to sustain a population of several billion in the future.¡±


    According to the intelligence Li Yuan was aware of, the Mingxu Star Realm should be among the most habitable realms that Blue Star has come into contact with.


    Like the Fierce Feather Star Realm, the environment is actually quite harsh, yet it still supports a population of over a hundred million.


    Similarly, the Rob Sea Star Realm also has very adverse living conditions.


    And the only Third Level Star Realm on Blue Star, the ¡®Wanhan Star Realm¡¯, is even more terrifying. Ordinary Prime Warriors find it difficult to survive there, let alone ordinary people¡­ who would probably die within a day of arrival.


    ¡°In the past, due to the restrictions at the entrance, the alliance couldn¡¯t invest a large amount of resources.¡± Liu Jing said, ¡°Now, though, we essentially have enough.¡±


    ¡°However, carving out a large-scale breeding zone is likely to lead to a conflict with the indigenous life of the Mingxu Star Realm, I suppose.¡± Li Yuan thought of this issue.


    The native life forces in the Mingxu Star Realm are extremely formidable.


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Liu Jing couldn¡¯t help but nod, ¡°Not just the Mingxu Star Realm, such habitable realms with vast territory and numerous mineral resources¡­ the Tianliang Civilization will certainly also go all out to compete with us, and a major war is inevitable.¡±


    ¡°A major war?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    If things go wrong, it could turn into another meat grinder battleground like Rob Sea, it¡¯s hard to say.


    But this is also inevitable.


    Every civilization that wants to advance must seize every opportunity and try to compete for precious resources.


    A step behind is to fall behind at every turn¡­ if the Seven Star Civilization doesn¡¯t work hard to strengthen itself, it could easily be swallowed up by other civilizations.


    ¡­


    After chatting with Liu Jing for a while longer, they ended the communication.


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Li Yuan immediately started searching for relevant information on the virtual network using his privileges.


    His clearance level was much higher than Liu Jing¡¯s.


    Before long, Li Yuan finally found something in a ¡®meeting record¡¯ of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°Ming Mountain?¡±


    ¡°The Flying Heaven Warriors believe that this major change comes from the Ming Mountain within the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, remembering the scenery of the Mingxu Star Realm back in the day.


    That mountain that towered thousands of kilometers high, indeed, was unimaginable.


    And it wasn¡¯t an extraterrestrial star.


    ¡°But it has nothing to do with me,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°If they wanted to explore the secrets of Ming Mountain, the alliance leadership would either dispatch people to break through to Flying Heaven Warriors within the realm.¡±


    ¡°Or, they would send top geniuses like Lude Nef and Wu Manong.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, what could be used to fight against the indigenous Flying Heaven life of the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He could imagine that, in the future, whether the Seven Star Civilization wanted to open up a new breeding zone,


    Or to compete with the Tianliang Civilization,


    The struggle was bound to be very brutal.


    ¡­


    The matter of the Mingxu Star Realm was only a minor episode for Li Yuan; he wasn¡¯t yet in a position to worry about this affair.


    The next day.


    Liu Jing arrived at Kunlun Martial University, and both Li Yuan and Li Yang went to greet him, and they accompanied Liu Jing on a tour of the school.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you already possess the strength of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?¡± When Liu Jing learned of this news, he was similarly surprised and astonished.


    He knew of Li Yuan¡¯s exceptional talent, but barely half a year had passed.


    Could he have grown to such an extent already?


    ¡­


    Liu Jing¡¯s visit to Kunlun Martial University was just to see his alma mater¡­ After seeing him off,


    A few more days passed.


    ¡°Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony,¡± Li Yuan stood on the balcony on the second floor of his villa, overlooking the tranquil campus, feeling somewhat sentimental, ¡°How fast time flies.¡±


    Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Haha, with graduation coming up, I should leave something for the juniors behind.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mouth curled into a slightly mischievous smile.


    He turned around,


    And headed straight for the rest area, quickly logging into the virtual network, the Kunlun Martial University space.


    ¡°Kunlun Nine Mountains.¡± Li Yuan directly applied to challenge the ¡®Kunlun Nine Mountains¡¯.


    Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    This was a ¡®challenge space¡¯ set up within the virtual network by Kunlun Martial University specifically for its students.


    At the start of his studies, during the freshman competition, Li Yuan had represented the Sixth Institute to blaze through the Fourth Mountain, stopping at the Fifth Mountain.


    Since then, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t attempted the challenge again.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash, Li Yuan arrived at the foothills of the first mountain of the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    With just one glance, Li Yuan saw the Kunlun Nine Mountains record in the view next to him:

    ¡°Now that I¡¯m about to graduate, let¡¯s give the juniors behind me a bit of a shock,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile, ¡°Let them know there¡¯s a Li Yuan among them.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, holding a Long Spear and setting his Physical Quality to level 20, strode towards the first mountain.


    Just half an hour later.


    Li Yuan finished the challenge, looking at the rankings that had been thoroughly refreshed, he felt quite satisfied.


    ¡°If Dantai Feng sees this, he¡¯s bound to be envious and resentful,¡± Li Yuan grinned, ¡°After all, he has no way of refreshing the various school records of Starfire University like I did.¡±


    The records of the two schools were of entirely different difficulty levels.


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan left the virtual network.


    ¡­


    Just one minute after Li Yuan completed the Kunlun Nine Mountains challenge.


    Swoosh!


    A graceful figure appeared at the foot of the first mountain, notably, it was ¡®Shi Xiao¡¯, a senior sister with whom Li Yuan was quite familiar.

    Chapter 409: Chapter 262: The Change of Ming Xu! The Legend of Kunlun Martial University (Extra 1 & 2)_4


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    ¡°That girl Qiu Jing, her cultivation is progressing incredibly fast,¡± Shi Xiao thought to herself, ¡°She began cultivating a year later than me, and yet her scores on the Kunlun Nine Mountains are almost equal to mine, and she has even made it to the Fifth Mountain.¡±


    Generally, one needs an Intermediate Rank Fourth Level technique to make it to the Fifth Mountain.


    As Shi Xiao was preparing to challenge the mountain herself, she subconsciously glanced to her left, where there usually was a screen. The screen would display various records of the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    The next moment, she was stunned.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Am I seeing things?¡± Shi Xiao couldn¡¯t believe her eyes, her mouth forming an involuntary ¡®O¡¯ shape.


    ¡°This! This! It can¡¯t be right,¡± Shi Xiao stared at the highest screen.


    Because the record on the screen clearly showed:


    Kunlun Nine Mountains School History Records (Seven Stars Calendar 2009 to present)


    First Place: Li Yuan, 1,000,000 points, has cleared (Year 2044)


    Second Place: Yan Jing, 780,000 points (Year 2034)


    Third place¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°The year 2044 is this year, Li Yuan, could it really be the Li Yuan I know? But he¡¯s clearly just a freshman! How is this possible?¡± Shi Xiao¡¯s mind was already in turmoil.


    She was fond of Li Yuan and knew that his talent and power were truly terrifying.


    As a freshman, securing first place in the Blue Star virtual combat competition was already an unprecedented historical achievement.


    But to fully clear the Kunlun Nine Mountains was something exceedingly difficult.


    For instance, Yan Jing, before Li Yuan and Jin Huguo, was considered the top prodigy in the past several decades of Kunlun Martial University, and it was only with difficulty that he managed to enter the Ninth Mountain as a fifth-year student.


    There was still a long way to go before completely clearing the Ninth Mountain.


    Li Yuan though?


    He actually cleared the whole Kunlun Nine Mountains as a freshman¡­ What an incredible feat this was.


    Suddenly.


    A thought surfaced in Shi Xiao¡¯s mind: ¡°Perhaps, for the next several decades, or even a century, no one will be able to break the record left by Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Only¡­¡±


    ¡°With such a high level of skill, Li Yuan is probably going to graduate soon,¡± Shi Xiao¡¯s thought process was somewhat complex for a moment.


    ¡­


    It wasn¡¯t just Shi Xiao who had seen it; many students from Kunlun Martial University would attempt to challenge the Kunlun Nine Mountains.


    Therefore, in an exceedingly short amount of time,


    this piece of news spread through Kunlun Martial University like a hurricane.


    ¡°Can¡¯t challenge it anymore.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, he¡¯s just a freshman, right?¡±


    ¡°A freshman, clearing the Kunlun Nine Mountains? How advanced is the skill of our big brother?¡±


    ¡°This! This! How are we supposed to challenge it now?¡±


    ¡°An unbreakable record.¡± The entire Kunlun Martial University, with tens of thousands of students, was completely boiling with excitement.


    This new record, S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    combined with the miracle Li Yuan had created in the Blue Star virtual combat competition¡­ ensured that he would become a new legend in the history of Kunlun Martial University.


    A legend that far surpassed Yan Jing and Jin Huguo.


    ¡­


    ¡°He cleared the Kunlun Nine Mountains?¡± When Jin Huguo received the news, he too was quite shocked, ¡°I have just managed to enter the Eighth Mountain.¡±


    Entering the Eighth Mountain and clearing the Ninth Mountain might seem like there¡¯s not much of a gap.


    But Jin Huguo admitted to himself that even with five more years, he might still not be able to clear the Ninth Mountain.


    The Ninth Mountain was originally established not for students to clear, but as a benchmark!!


    ¡°Now, this benchmark has become my junior brother Li Yuan,¡± Jin Huguo couldn¡¯t help shaking his head, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that with Li Yuan brother¡¯s strength, he will rise rapidly in the Martial Divine Hall, becoming the most dazzling presence there.¡±


    For a moment, Jin Huguo¡¯s expectations for the upcoming trip to the Feixing Martial Divine Hall grew.


    ¡­


    Time passed slowly.


    Before you knew it, half a month had gone by, and the graduation ceremony quickly came to an end. Li Yuan¡¯s family had come to the school for several days, reunited for a few days, and then he had sent them back to Jiang City.


    Finally.


    June 29th.


    ¡°Li Yuan, assemble, prepare to head to Feixing,¡± Li Yuan received the command from the principal.

    Rumble~ Accompanied by a slight tremble in the flying vehicle, the cabin door immediately opens.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived, come on down.¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice rang in the minds of Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With Li Yuan taking the lead, the twelve geniuses streamed out like fish swimming through water, landing on the ground with a leap.


    ¡°It¡¯s huge!¡±


    ¡°The legendary Seven Star Mountain, it truly is a levitating divine mountain.¡±


    ¡°And there¡¯s Martial Divine Hall, one of the highest divine halls of our Seven Star Civilization.¡± Everyone could not help but exclaim in awe.


    Before their arrival, most of them had inquired about the Martial Divine Hall and Seven Star Mountain, but due to access limitations, they could only find some simple descriptions.


    Not even images could be found on the virtual network, the secrecy level was extremely high.


    Very mysterious.


    Now, they finally saw the true Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was also quite shocked as he looked at everything within his view.


    In the sky, there was a fiery red sun, its light illuminating the land, but when it fell on the people, it felt warm and comfortable.


    Very comfortable.


    Where they stood was a vast plain, incredibly spacious, with many large flying vehicles coming and going¡­ allowing them to clearly see a mountain range suspended a thousand meters in the air not far away.


    A mountain range with exactly seven peaks hovered between heaven and earth, its surface layer shrouded in a hazy glow, radiating endless might, making it unique in the whole world.


    With the naked eye, Li Yuan and the others could see that this mountain range seemed enveloped in mist, with many palaces and floating flying vehicles faintly visible.


    ¡°Seven Star Mountain.¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, my father and I have mentioned that Seven Star Mountain is the residence of the top geniuses of our Seven Star Civilization, protected by the highest security level.¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°Only by being able to reside on Seven Star Mountain can one truly be called a top genius of the civilization.¡±


    Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Harmon, Yin Man, and the others listened earnestly.


    Among this group, no one could rival Dantai Feng in terms of background and world experience, except for Li Yuan.


    After all, he comes from a Demigod family.


    ¡°Reside on Seven Star Mountain?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly.


    As far as he knew, people like Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe were members of Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Martial Divine Hall.¡± Dantai Feng then pointed to the distant, standing on the vast land below Seven Star Mountain, a towering ancient and massive palace that radiated a profound aura.


    Even though it was more than ten kilometers away, the strong aura contained within the ancient palace still made Li Yuan, Dantai Feng, and the others hold it in solemn regard.


    Only by seeing with their own eyes.


    Could they truly sense the vast mystery of Seven Star Mountain, Martial Divine Hall¡­ like that colossal floating mountain range, had already surpassed Li Yuan and the others¡¯ understanding of ¡®technology.¡¯


    Subconsciously, they felt that such a sight probably couldn¡¯t be achieved through technological means.


    ¡°Tsk tsk, it¡¯s said that Martial Divine Hall contains great secrets.¡± Dantai Feng said solemnly to the others: ¡°The so-called First Rank inheritance, Second Class inheritance, and Third Class inheritance, the differences all lie in this Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Yuan patted his shoulder, pointed at a distant spot, and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s time to gather.¡±


    ¡°Cough cough, Li Yuan, it¡¯s not easy for me to show off, can I finish?¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of melancholy: ¡°After all, in the upcoming Battle of Seven Stars in half a month, I don¡¯t even have the qualifications to participate, I can only watch you guys show off.¡±


    ¡°How old are you? Next year or the year after, once your Physical Quality improves, just participate again.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was quite clear.


    For the entire Seven Star Civilization, it¡¯s not difficult to elevate a person¡¯s Physical Quality to level 29, it¡¯s just a matter of time¡­ The difficult part is the skill level, the Star Meridian.


    Therefore, although Tian Dazhuang¡¯s Physical Quality was only level 14.


    But because he achieved the Fifth Stage Skill in his first year, coupled with his astonishing pace of skill progress over the past year, he was specially recruited.


    In at most four years, within the Martial Divine Star Realm, Tian Dazhuang¡¯s Physical Quality would soar to the Top Grade Origin Martial Artist level.


    This was a point mentioned in many documents.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, and the crowd followed him toward the gathering point under the giant sign in the distance.


    Dozens of talented people had already converged there, their physical features slightly different, obviously coming from different planets within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°It seems there¡¯s not a single member of the Alien Race.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace Inquiry swept over.


    There wasn¡¯t a single alert of ¡®kill to obtain Spiritual Nature.¡¯


    Going anywhere and seeing any stranger, making a Divine Palace Inquiry had become Li Yuan¡¯s habit.


    ¡°But most of them are Martial Artists, and even a few are Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, it¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know about the skill levels.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The nearly one hundred gathered talents from various major planets were clearly of varying ages, and naturally, their true strengths differed.


    However, in the eyes of the alliance¡¯s higher-ups, anyone below 30 made no difference, all considered ¡®young people.¡¯


    ¡°More people are coming.¡±


    ¡°12 people, that¡¯s a lot.¡±


    ¡°Only fewer than Feixing and Tianhai Star, probably from Blue Star.¡± sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Definitely from Blue Star; haven¡¯t you seen the one in the lead? That¡¯s Li Yuan, he¡¯s actually quite handsome, better-looking than he is in video images.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s Li Yuan? Doesn¡¯t look too special; before I came here, my teacher kept saying he was most likely going to become the numero uno of our Martial Divine Hall¡¯s generation.¡± The talented individuals from planets like Yinghuo Star, Feixing, and Tianhai Star all watched as Li Yuan and his team approached, discussing among themselves.


    Clearly, Li Yuan was the most well-known.


    ¡°Tsk, Li Yuan, you really are famous.¡± Dantai Feng whispered, his eyes full of envy: ¡°You¡¯ve taken all the glory.¡±

    ¡°Dantai, if you can make it through the seventh level of The Battle of Seven Stars, you will become famous too,¡± Tian Dazhuang teased.


    ¡°Get lost, you¡¯re mocking me for not being qualified to participate, aren¡¯t you?¡± Dantai Feng glared.


    The two of them were good friends and used to teasing each other.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s fame is indeed much greater than ours,¡± Jin Huguo said with a smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s normal; he is simply not on the same level as us,¡± Nevsky said calmly, the towering young man from Ross Country.


    Among this group, the one who was really annoyed was Bores. He originally thought that he would be the strongest member of the team, and if not adored, at least he should be taken seriously¡­ however, he found that no one paid him any attention at all.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on Li Yuan.


    Alicia¡¯s gaze towards Li Yuan was unabashed.


    ¡°Wait and see.¡±


    ¡°In the end, it¡¯s all about strength,¡± Bores thought to himself. ¡°With my strength, I have every hope of making it through Sixth Mountain¡­ A long time in practice is my advantage.¡±


    ¡°Next, I¡¯ll spend another twenty years in the Martial Divine Hall to solidify my foundation.¡±


    ¡°In the future, I totally have the hope of becoming a Flying Heaven Peak warrior.¡±


    Being selected at the age of 28, Bores was still quite exceptional in terms of strength and talent.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen.¡±


    Several Prime Warriors responsible for guiding were quite polite, ¡°Please wait here patiently. Once the talents from the Seven Great Planets gather, the Mountain Lord of Seven Star Mountain will come over.¡±


    Everyone from Blue Star stood here, waiting patiently.


    ¡°Captain!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, captain, Alicia.¡± Suddenly, three people emerged from the crowd, greeting Li Yuan excitedly. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Si Feng, Kross, Xiong Ze.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile; they were comrades from World within Worlds.


    They hadn¡¯t seen each other for several months, and each of them had improved to a certain degree in Life Level.


    ¡°Captain, we finally see you again,¡± Si Feng, Kross, and Xiong Ze were all very excited.


    It¡¯s human nature to instinctively band together with others from the same region in unfamiliar environments.


    But, quite obviously,


    In the eyes of Si Feng and the others, compared to other Martial Path talents from the same planet, Li Yuan was more worthy of their trust and respect.


    This scene also caused nearly a hundred of the other planet¡¯s talents to mutter to themselves.


    As the top talents of their respective planets, most were proud.


    Being so publicly subservient as ¡®subordinates¡¯ was rare and enough to attest to the terrifying aspect of Li Yuan.


    In a very short time, the talents from the Seven Stars had all thoroughly committed Li Yuan to memory.


    ¡­


    The Seven Star Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.


    After bringing Li Yuan and the others here, Fang Hai thought and twisted the surrounding light, quietly arriving at Seven Star Mountain¡­ His eyes were casual, familiar with everything around him.


    Decades ago, he had also practiced here for many years.


    There were many halls on Seven Star Mountain, with flying saucer-shaped vessels parked in front of many halls¡­ These halls were the residences of the members of Seven Star Mountain.


    Only the hall at the highest point was off-limits to Mountain members¡­ It was the abode of the Mountain Lord.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai leisurely arrived in front of the vast hall. At this moment, six figures were already gathered on the small plaza.


    ¡°Fang Hai Star Master.¡±


    ¡°Blue Star¡¯s escort this time is actually Star Master Fang.¡± The six figures, each with a strong and vigorous presence, were all formidable Flying Heaven warriors.


    Standing there casually, they seemed to blend into the world, clearly with a high level of skill and understanding.


    But they were all quite respectful in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Duanmu?¡± Fang Hai asked directly.


    ¡°Mountain Lord Duanmu hasn¡¯t come out yet,¡± a white-clad Flying Heaven Warrior replied respectfully, ¡°We are still waiting for him.¡±


    ¡°Stop putting on airs,¡± Fang Hai shook his head and then said in a deep voice, ¡°Duanmu!¡±


    ¡°Duanmu! Duanmu! Duanmu!¡± His voice contained astonishing Penetrative Power, echoing within hundreds of meters of the void and subtly penetrating the distant palaces.


    But it did not spread any further.


    This terrifying control shocked the six powerful Flying Heaven warriors standing beside him.


    No wonder he was ranked among the top three super-existences among the many Flying Heaven Star Lords.


    A few seconds later.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The sealed hall doors opened suddenly, and a white-clad figure flashed out. He appeared to be in his thirties, his white clothes quite dashing.


    He arrived in front of Fang Hai, and the white-clad young man said with a hint of helplessness, ¡°Old Fang, can you be a bit quieter? You woke me up.¡±


    ¡°You certainly have a leisurely time as a Mountain Lord, letting us all accompany you in sleeping?¡± Fang Hai said with a smirk.


    The two chatted quite casually, but the six surrounding Flying Heaven Warriors became even more respectful.


    Clearly, the white-clad young man and Fang Hai were on the same level of stature.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. I have confirmed receipt through the virtual network, you may go back,¡± the white-clad young man said sternly, his gaze sweeping across the six individuals.


    ¡°Thank you, Duanmu Star Master,¡± the six Flying Heaven warriors turned into streaks of light and quickly retreated.


    In a very short time,


    Only Fang Hai and the white-clad young man were left.


    ¡°Old Fang, why did you personally come for this escort mission? Are you that idle?¡± the white-clad young man smiled again.


    ¡°I am here by the command of the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch?¡± The white-clad young man was surprised and faintly realized, ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    He, Duanmu Hong.


    As one of the few Flying Heaven Star Masters of the Alliance and serving as the Star Mountain Master, in charge of overseeing the cultivation of talents in the Martial Divine Hall¡­ Naturally, he was aware of all the information about the newly arrived talents.


    And among the hundreds of talents who had arrived this year, the most dazzling and special was Li Yuan.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Fang Hai nodded slightly. ¡°There are some things that are classified, and I can¡¯t talk to you about them¡­ You just need to know he is very important, and you must protect him well.¡±


    ¡°Classified?¡± Duanmu Hong was shocked inside.

    Chapter 416: Chapter 264: Duanmu Mountain Master! Martial God Inheritance (Extra 3 & 4)_3


    Given his high status within the alliance, which borders on that of a demigod, and the kind he is¡ªextremely trusted¡­ it¡¯s all still a secret, you can imagine how important it is.


    He realized that this Li Yuan must be quite special and have big secrets.


    ¡°Divine Child Level genius?¡± Duanmu Hong couldn¡¯t help but say.


    In many civilizations, any Divine Child Level genius is destined to become a demigod.


    The Seven Star Civilization has very few geniuses of the Divine Child Level.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask too much, nor should you pry into his secrets. This is the master¡¯s command. In the future, you will naturally understand,¡± said Fang Hai with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m just reminding you to protect him well.¡±


    ¡°Some things will naturally be handled by others,¡± Fang Hai continued. ¡°But also, don¡¯t be too deliberate in taking care of Li Yuan; it¡¯s not good for his growth.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Duanmu Hong became serious, now clear about Fang Hai¡¯s intentions.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be going now. I¡¯ll catch up with you again on my next visit to Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said and drifted away.


    Fang Hai was now quite relaxed.


    Because the hottest potato had finally been tossed out, he no longer needed to shoulder the responsibility.


    ¡­


    ¡°Big trouble, even the Alliance Hierarch is treating it so seriously.¡± Duanmu Hong muttered to himself, ¡°But the Martial Divine Star Realm is just an ultra-small Third-Level Star Realm¡­ Demigods can¡¯t kill their way in, and the likelihood of assassination by Alien Races is extremely small.¡±


    The entire Martial Divine Hall and the Seven Star Mountain are built within a completely closed small Third-Level Star Realm.


    Ensuring Alien Demigods cannot assassinate anyone.


    The only main entrance is guarded by a demigod, and there are numerous defense measures within the Star Realm; even demigods would feel a chill at the prospect.


    Additionally, there are 36 levels of Flying Heaven Warriors stationed in the realm, making it as secure as a fortress of metal.


    Everything is to ensure that the younger generation of the entire civilization can grow up safely.


    ¡°As long as he can be safely protected and grow up, that will be a meritorious deed,¡± Duanmu Hong showed a smile: ¡°If he truly grows into a demigod in the future and sees me, he¡¯ll have to regard me as half his master.¡±


    As the Star Mountain Master of the Seven Star Mountain, as long as one could serve for decades, the potential network of connections in the future would be quite formidable.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, Si Feng, Alicia, and over a hundred other geniuses from various planets have been patiently waiting.


    Occasionally.


    They would see flying vessels launching from the super-large villas on the ground, shuttling through the clouds¡­ The vessels carried members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Suddenly.


    A terrifying aura swept over from the clouds, making even Li Yuan¡¯s heart tremble, not to mention the others.


    The weakest in strength, such as Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, turned pale in an instant.


    Then, everyone saw clearly that a young man in white had appeared in the sky in front of them at some unknown time.


    He stood on the void, his gaze sharp, and his invisible aura alone oppressed everyone present.


    Flying Heaven Warrior!


    And definitely a very terrifying Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Mountain Lord,¡± more than ten Prime Warriors on duty respectfully saluted.


    Mountain Lord?


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and the rest instantly understood the man¡¯s identity¡ªthe overseer of the entire Martial Divine Star Realm.


    And also their direct superior for the coming years of cultivation.


    ¡°First of all, welcome to Martial Divine Mountain. I am the current Star Mountain Master of the Seven Star Mountain, Duanmu Hong.¡± Duanmu Hong¡¯s voice was ethereal yet clearly heard by everyone, ¡°You may address me as Mountain Lord, Duanmu Mountain Master.¡±


    ¡°For the next ten, twenty years, or even longer, you will all be members of the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°So, listen carefully to what I¡¯m about to say,¡± Duanmu Hong looked over each person.


    All was quiet.


    ¡°First, training in the Martial Divine Hall is divided into two parts, Martial God Inheritance and Points rewards,¡± Duanmu Hong said, ¡°Martial God Inheritance is determined by your level of inheritance. In your batch, for now, only Li Yuan, Chu Chen, and Bertman are Second Class Inheritors.¡±


    ¡°The rest of you are Third Class Inheritors.¡±


    SCH! SCH! SCH! The others couldn¡¯t help but turn their gaze towards the three, most looking at Li Yuan.


    People like Chu Chen and Bertman, many did not even know who they were, but Li Yuan was recognizable to anyone.


    ¡°Seven Star Mountain members can also be Third Class Inheritors.¡±


    ¡°But the weakest amongst them might also be Second Class Inheritors.¡±


    ¡°As for the specific differences, enter the virtual network ¡®Seven Star Mountain Space¡¯ to find out for yourselves,¡± Duanmu Hong said indifferently. ¡°As for Points rewards, that is, Seven Stars Points, it¡¯s determined by real strength.¡±


    ¡°All Martial Divine Hall members are divided into three ranks based on strength: Seven Star Mountain members, elite members, and ordinary members.¡±


    ¡°Those who overcome the seven major checkpoints will become Seven Star Mountain members, receiving an annual reward of 400 Seven Stars Points afterwards.¡±


    ¡°Those who overcome five checkpoints will be elite members, receiving an annual reward of 200 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°The rest are ordinary members, with an annual reward of 100 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the above are just the basic rewards. The alliance will also issue many war missions. If you participate in battles and earn merits, you can obtain Points rewards as well.¡± Duanmu Hong spoke softly: ¡°For example, among you, Li Yuan, Alicia, Si Feng and others have recently made great contributions in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, and have all received quite a few Seven Stars Points.¡±


    People looked again towards Li Yuan, Alicia and the others.


    ¡°Specific cultivation guidance on Seven Star Mountain will be detailed on the virtual network.¡±


    ¡°In half a month¡¯s time, you will face your first Battle of Seven Stars, which will also decide the amount of Seven Stars Points rewards for the next year,¡± Duanmu Hong stated calmly: ¡°Prepare well.¡±


    ¡°Lastly.¡± S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I hope you understand, for the Flying Heaven Warriors in the civilization, earning even a single Seven Stars Point involves staking their lives, while you are all given a generous amount. This is because the entire civilization has high hopes for you,¡± Duanmu Hong said softly: ¡°With your talents, becoming Flying Heaven Warriors is not difficult¡­ But the civilization¡¯s expectation for you is to become peak Flying Heaven powerhouses, and even demigods.¡±

    ¡°Even¡­ divine beings.¡±


    ¡°Foreign Civilizations are constantly spying on us, and the war between civilizations has never ceased, only by giving birth to divine beings can our Seven Star Civilization truly be stable.¡±


    ¡­


    After a brief explanation, Duanmu Hong left.


    Soon after, more than ten Prime Warrior supervisors led many First Rank Martial Artists, taking Li Yuan and the others to villas and mansions that had been prepared in advance.


    There were thousands of members in the Martial Divine Hall, but only a few could reside in Seven Star Mountain.


    Elite members and ordinary members all lived in villas on the surface.


    All the villas were constructed around the majestic Martial Divine Hall. If viewed from the sky, the dense cluster of buildings and streets resembled a giant Bagua Diagram.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s just arrived at the Martial Divine Hall, so get familiar with the place first,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Once everyone¡¯s settled down, we¡¯ll have time to gather.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°The Battle of Seven Stars is in half a month. Even if we can¡¯t get through the five stages, we should at least pass the First Layer and not embarrass ourselves too much,¡± Jin Huguo, Si Feng, and others all laughed.


    Everyone dispersed.


    ¡­


    ¡°Look, the entire villa isn¡¯t very large on the surface; it¡¯s just for daily rest,¡± said the accompanying Prime Warrior, personally introducing it to Li Yuan. ¡°But outside the surface villa, there¡¯s a martial arts field with a radius of five hundred meters.¡±


    ¡°Beneath the villa, there¡¯s an underground Martial Arts Room measuring six hundred meters in length and width, with a height of over fifty meters,¡± the Prime Warrior explained.


    ¡°Such a large underground Martial Arts Room?¡± Li Yuan was somewhat surprised.


    That¡¯s huge.


    ¡°It¡¯s not considered large,¡± the Prime Warrior supervisor laughed. ¡°It was specifically built by Flying Heaven Warriors. After all, talents like you, when researching True Intent Techniques or sparring with other strong opponents, have terrifying power.¡±


    ¡°If the Martial Arts Room isn¡¯t large enough or sturdy enough, it would be quickly destroyed.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    Indeed, back at Kunlun Martial University, when he and Li Yang sparred in the Martial Arts Room, they dared not unleash Star Techniques and Origin Power¡­ If unleashed, the Martial Arts Room would likely collapse.


    ¡°Also, your food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation will all be assisted by high-end intelligent robots,¡± the Prime Warrior said with a smile. ¡°Under normal circumstances, we assistant warriors won¡¯t enter your mansion.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback. ¡°Why is that?¡±


    ¡°To prevent assassination.¡±


    ¡°You never know who might have been secretly influenced,¡± the Prime Warrior said with a laugh. ¡°Therefore, many tasks are handled by robots. When inviting companions over to your mansion in the future, you should also be cautious¡­ Like your entire villa, it¡¯s protected by a high-level Defense system. If it detects an enemy invasion, the intelligent system will instantly activate the defense mechanism, making it impossible for even ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors to break through in a short time.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization really went to great lengths to protect this group of elite talents within the civilization.


    ¡­


    After becoming acquainted with many aspects of the Martial Divine Hall, Li Yuan entered his villa.


    He glanced at the villa number¡ª2044001.


    ¡°2044, number 1?¡± Li Yuan smiled, quickly binding his various biometric indicators and spiritual imprint to the villa¡¯s intelligent defense system.


    ¡°Xiao Yu.¡±


    ¡°Activate closed-door training mode,¡± Li Yuan said loudly, straight into the villa.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    In the vast and spacious living room.


    ¡°Martial God Inheritance.¡± There was a glint of anticipation in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Whether or not I become a member of Seven Star Mountain doesn¡¯t make much difference to me, as I am not lacking Seven Stars Points in the short term.¡±


    ¡°But what exactly is this Martial God Inheritance?¡±


    ¡°Could it really be a Divine Legacy?¡± Li Yuan logged into the virtual network and entered the Martial Divine Hall space.


    He began browsing the ¡®Martial Divine Hall Member Handbook.¡¯

    Duanmu Mountain Master was very brief, only giving the many new members of the Martial Divine Hall a concept.


    The actual cultivation details of the Martial Divine Hall were all in the manual.


    ¡°So, each member of the Martial Divine Hall can only cultivate here until they are 50 years old?¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°Must they leave the Martial Divine Hall if they have not broken through to the Flying Heaven Level by the age of 50?¡±


    If any of the following conditions are met, they must leave the Martial Divine Hall.


    First, break through to become a Flying Heaven Level.


    Second, exceed the age of 50.


    It was also regulated to prevent certain members of Seven Star Mountain from deliberately staying at the Origin Martial Artist stage to receive Seven Stars Points.


    Each member of the Martial Divine Hall can receive up to 6000 Seven Stars Points for free in their lifetime.


    More Seven Stars Points? No more!


    After all, the resources of the entire Seven Star Civilization are limited; it is impossible to pour unlimited resources into one genius.


    Want more? Then rely on your own efforts to complete various war missions, or venture into the Star Realm to obtain them.


    ¡°No wonder the higher-ups don¡¯t care about the age of the Martial Divine Hall members, but let everyone compete together.¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°For the younger ones, like Tian Dazhuang, a few more years of tempering, and with improved Physical Quality, they can still grow.¡±


    ¡°For the older ones, like Bores, who came in at an older age, will leave sooner.¡±


    ¡°In any case, one can only receive up to 6000 Seven Stars Points in their lifetime.¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Perhaps, in the eyes of the higher-ups, a Flying Heaven Martial Artist has a lifespan of 500 years, and a Demigod has an even longer lifespan of 1000 years.


    What¡¯s the difference between a year earlier or later?


    The so-called prime age for cultivation is more for First Rank Martial Artists and ordinary Origin Martial Artists, because their chances of reaching the Flying Heaven Warrior are very slim, so naturally they have to cultivate with all their might while young.


    Secondly, the reward limit of 6000 points is not small either, enough to buy a Semi Divine Artifact in the Seven Stars Treasure Vault.


    The reward targets, after all, are just the Origin Martial Artist youngsters.


    ¡°Looking at it this way, the Visualization Method bestowed to me by the dean is indeed incredibly valuable, directly rewarding me with 30,000 points, and according to the dean, it¡¯s only equivalent to a down payment? The true value is far beyond that?¡± Li Yuan murmured: ¡°The Seven Stars Points rewards from the Martial Divine Hall indeed don¡¯t mean much to me.¡±


    Even as a member of Seven Star Mountain, one could only get 400 Seven Stars Points per year.


    How about Li Yuan? He still has more than 30,000 points now.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan thought of how he had recently spent a few thousand Seven Stars Points to purchase two Fourth Rank treasures, shaking his head: ¡°Aside from me, probably very few Origin Martial Artists would do such a thing.¡±


    Using Fourth Rank treasures to enhance Physical Quality and the liveliness of one¡¯s body and bones? That¡¯s too extravagant.


    Even the geniuses of the Martial Divine Hall mostly purchase Third Rank treasures that enhance Physical Quality, combined with Cultivation Methods, striving to reach the level of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist within a few years.


    They wouldn¡¯t be so extravagant as Li Yuan.


    It can¡¯t be helped, Li Yuan has a lot of Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Seven Stars Points are distributed annually according to strength.¡± Li Yuan read through the manual, thinking: ¡°But the levels of Martial God Inheritance are promoted based on a comprehensive assessment of potential.¡±


    Third Class, Second Class, First Rank, Special Rank, there are no very clear promotion rules.


    The manual only states that it will take into account many aspects, such as the current demonstrated strength, age, Star Meridian talent, and skill level of each member of the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°And Dean Hai has said.¡±


    ¡°A normal First Rank Martial God Inheritor must achieve the feat of killing an Alien Race of Flying Heaven Level across ranks to be promoted.¡± Li Yuan silently recited: ¡°I have already revealed astonishing Star Meridian talent¡­ If during The Battle of Seven Stars, I can demonstrate overwhelming strength again.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, I could be promoted to a First Rank Martial God Inheritor ahead of time.¡± Li Yuan thought.


    The stronger the demonstrated strength, the more attention one naturally receives, and the more benefits one gets.


    The manual¡¯s content about Martial God Inheritors also made some clarifications about the benefits for Third Class, Second Class, and First Rank:


    Third Class Martial God Inheritors can accept ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ once every five years.


    Second Class, once every two years.


    First Rank, once a year.


    As for Special Rank? There is no clear explanation of what the benefits are, only that they will be far greater than those of a First Rank Martial God Inheritor.


    Moreover, the manual does not clearly state what ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ actually is.


    ¡°When I enter the Martial Divine Hall, and receive the inheritance, I will naturally understand.¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Suddenly.


    Drip~ The intelligent bracelet vibrated, and Li Yuan immediately looked down and clicked to agree.


    Whirr~ A light screen projection condensed, and the projection showed a figure.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    The one who made the V-call was none other than Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I know you arrived at the Martial Divine Star Realm today.¡± Yu Jinghe smiled: ¡°Tavares even asked me if we should go welcome you, but I rejected him.¡±


    ¡°I figured you must be under enough pressure already, so I didn¡¯t want to add to your troubles.¡± Yu Jinghe smiled: ¡°After half a month, when your Battle of Seven Stars is over, Wu Manong, Tavares, and I will come to your residence to gather.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan readily agreed, as all of these individuals were members of Seven Star Mountain.


    They are all top geniuses of human civilization; making friends with them is a good thing.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, are all of you currently in the Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°A few of us are in concealed cultivation on Seven Star Mountain, but An Yongya is not here; he has gone to the Mingxu Star Realm on Blue Star.¡± Yu Jinghe said: ¡°A terrible war has broken out there¡­ Maybe in a while, we will have to go support.¡±


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    It wasn¡¯t long before Liu Jing sent him a message, and now a war had already erupted?


    However, Li Yuan didn¡¯t ask Yu Jinghe further.


    ¡°I contacted you to remind you of two things.¡± Yu Jinghe said: ¡°First, give it your all in the Battle of Seven Stars, at least strive to break through the fifth barrier.¡±


    ¡°Becoming an elite member isn¡¯t just about getting more Seven Stars Points every year, there are many invisible benefits that also increase significantly,¡± Yu Jinghe said. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s not much to you, but a mosquito¡¯s meat is still meat.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°The second matter is about the Martial God Inheritance,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile. ¡°You haven¡¯t received it before, and the first contact has the best effect¡­ I suggest you take it as soon as possible.¡±


    ¡°Okay, thank you for the reminder, Big Brother Yu.¡±


    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yuan ended the communication with Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu is quite concerned about me, even going out of his way to contact me,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Well, Big Brother Yu has spent over a decade in the Martial Divine Star Realm; he has much more experience than I do. I¡¯ll follow his advice.¡±


    ¡°Apply for the Martial God Inheritance tomorrow.¡±


    Just as Li Yuan tapped on the light screen and was about to apply, he realized¡­ he needed to queue.


    ¡°The earliest I can apply is in three days?¡± Li Yuan shook his head in resignation and clicked to agree.


    Three days it is. I can wait.


    ¡°There¡¯s still half a month left.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s make an effort to cultivate the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ to the limit of the Second Order Level 5,¡± Li Yuan said with a grin.


    ¡­


    The underground Martial Arts Room was immensely vast, like daylight, and this super-large underground space left Li Yuan quite impressed.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough for top-grade Prime Warriors to fight at full strength,¡± Li Yuan marveled to himself.


    Though a top-grade Prime Warrior could traverse two to three hundred meters in a flash.


    But merely for actual combat training, or for sparring among Martial Artists, such vast space isn¡¯t necessary.


    Just as an ordinary person can reach a speed of 10 meters per second at full power, when two people are sparring, the arena is usually just ten meters in length.


    Sitting cross-legged on the cool ground.


    ¡°Star Marks!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, surging Origin Power circulated as he continued trying to imprint more Star Marks on the numerous Life Stars of his second Star Meridian.


    Second Order Star Marks are much more complex than First Order, naturally making them more difficult to imprint.


    In this past half-month, Li Yuan had been diligently cultivating the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body,¡¯ but he had only managed to reach the Fourth Level of the Second Order; he was still far from the final limit of the Second Order Level 5.


    This rate of cultivation, if it were to be known, could surely cause a sensation.


    After all, many Second Order Prime Warriors take years to barely step into the Second Order level while cultivating a Third Layer or Fourth Layer Star Technique, let alone reach the Second Order Limit.


    ¡­


    Time passed by.


    As Li Yuan was still cultivating Star Techniques, preparing wholeheartedly for the upcoming Battle of Seven Stars.


    On the second day after their arrival in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°What great secret does it contain? There are no explanations even in the manual,¡± Alicia had already reached the entrance to the Martial Divine Hall.


    After greeting the two guards and inquiring about some precautions regarding the Martial Divine Hall,


    Alicia then entered the majestic hall.


    She was the first among hundreds of new members of this batch to apply for the Martial God Inheritance.


    Alicia always wanted to know what the Martial God Inheritance truly was.


    Boom¡ª The great hall¡¯s doors shut closed.


    ¡­Half an hour later.


    Boom¡ª The grand hall doors opened, and Alicia flew out with a shocked and satisfied expression on her face. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Incredible,¡± Alicia thought back to her recent experience, feeling astonished. ¡°Such a short time, yet it gave me a glimpse of the path ahead?¡±


    ¡°So precious, and they let me come into contact with it directly?¡±


    The Martial God Inheritance completely exceeded her understanding.


    ¡°Alicia, that¡¯s insane! Absolutely insane!¡± a childish voice resonated in her mind, quite agitated, ¡°Those are divine Marks, containing the cultivation insights of a divine soul, to think it has appeared in the world like this¡­ With so many divine Marks, I now really doubt that someone named Dongfang Ji hasn¡¯t stumbled upon a burial ground of numerous divine souls.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, how could he, a mere Demigod, even an unbeatable one, get hold of so many divine Marks? I don¡¯t believe it,¡± the childish voice said excitedly.


    ¡°You must strive to enter again, and naturally, your gains will be even greater next time,¡± urged the childish voice, quite eager.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°I only have a Third Class Martial God Inheritance opportunity, once every five years,¡± Alicia responded. ¡°For now, I¡¯ll head back, fully digest the insights from these divine Marks, and strive to improve my strength as soon as possible, aiming to upgrade to a Second Class Inheritors of the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡­


    Feixing, hundreds of kilometers from the entry and exit point of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    A mysterious location.


    In the vast expanse of Dark Space, a vague figure sat cross-legged, motionless, as if eternal.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Master,¡± a deep voice spoke up. ¡°An unexpected situation arose at the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    ¡°Tell me,¡± the vague figure¡¯s eyes slowly opened, revealing depths profound and vast.


    ¡°I¡¯ve detected a divine soul¡¯s thoughts attaching to a member of the Martial Divine Hall; just now, it attempted to infiltrate all parts of the temple, seeking to uncover the secrets of the divine hall,¡± the deep voice reported.

 Chapter 419: 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jings Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 419: Chapter 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jing¡¯s Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    In a mysterious place.


    ¡°A god-level remnant soul¡¯s thought?¡± the blurred figure whispered, ¡°What¡¯s the name of that member of the Martial Divine Hall?¡±


    ¡°Alicia,¡± the deep voice answered, ¡°from Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Can you sense what race the god-level remnant soul belongs to?¡± the blurred figure slowly said, ¡°Is it from beyond this domain, or from within? In what form has it survived?¡±


    ¡°It should be from beyond this domain; it lacks the aura of its original essence,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°I can¡¯t sense anything else clearly, as it¡¯s extremely careful, always lurking deep within Alicia¡¯s spiritual world, only revealing a hint of secret technique in response to Alicia¡¯s spiritual fluctuations¡­ If the Martial Divine Hall were just an ordinary divine artifact, it would definitely not detect it.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s not worry about it for now.¡±


    ¡°Add Alicia to the observation list, and if that remnant soul shows any inclination to possess her, eliminate her immediately,¡± the blurred figure ordered, ¡°Additionally, secretly initiate a mental communication with Alicia to observe her reactions, to see if the remnant soul¡¯s intention is reincarnation, possession, or restoration of its physical body.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    ¡°How is the secret observation of Li Yuan going?¡± the blurred figure queried, its voice ethereal.


    ¡°His past deeds are confirmed,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°Since he moved into the villa, I have been subtly sensing through the defensive Origin Power Array¡­ I¡¯ve confirmed he hasn¡¯t been possessed, and the aura of his soul¡¯s plane of origin is correct.¡±


    ¡°His spiritual will is strong¡­ There are no signs of alien race control for now.¡±


    ¡°However, the Visualization Method he cultivates seems quite special; it could well be a second-class Visualization Method,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°I speculate that there are still secrets hidden in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, but he seems unwilling to disclose them.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to delve deeper.¡±


    ¡°Everyone has their own selfish desires and secrets.¡±


    ¡°Just confirm that his allegiance is to our Seven Star Civilization,¡± the blurred figure said, ¡°As for his training, follow my previous instructions.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Also, Master, the ¡®North Moon Deity¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Star Realm wants to complete the transaction we abandoned last time and has asked me about it,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°What should we do?¡±


    ¡°Tell him,¡±


    ¡°the transaction is possible, but the price compared to last time is increased by thirty percent, and if they don¡¯t agree this time, it will be increased by fifty percent next time,¡± the blurred figure said indifferently, ¡°You may leave now.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Strands of golden light bloomed, faintly warping the space, making the figure even more elusive and vague, as if existing in another spatial plane.


    ¡­


    Alicia¡¯s gains were unclear to Li Yuan.


    He continued his cultivation methodically.


    Upon arriving in the Martial Divine Star Realm, unlike Dantai Feng and Yin Man, who might have been excited for a while, Li Yuan was used to the days of cultivation; it was simply practicing with his spear in a different place.


    Just like in his younger years, even when his family was celebrating the New Year, Li Yuan could still be found practicing alone in his room, finding joy in it.


    Martial Arts Cultivation is destined to be lonely.


    Many strong individuals may cultivate diligently to achieve a certain goal in their hearts, for revenge, for wealth, and so on, and they believe in their bones that cultivation is incredibly arduous.


    But Li Yuan was different.


    At the beginning of wielding the spear, he longed to change the fate of his family, to ensure his uncle and aunt¡¯s efforts were not in vain¡­ However, by today, many of the goals he had were already achieved.


    The lives of his family and their destiny had already been completely changed.


    Yet Li Yuan could still immerse himself in cultivation wholeheartedly because¡ªhe enjoyed this solitude.


    Is practicing with the spear arduous? Is cultivation arduous? Li Yuan thought these ideas were fallacies¡ªhe felt nothing but absolute comfort.¡± sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, has the combat robot been delivered?¡± Li Yuan suddenly spoke.


    ¡°It was delivered two hours ago; I¡¯ve already arranged for it to stay in the ¡®charging room¡¯,¡± the auxiliary intelligence¡¯s voice responded, ¡°Do you wish to activate it, Master?¡±


    ¡°Activate it!¡±


    ¡­


    In the vast Martial Arts Room, two figures were engaged in intense combat.


    ¡°Fierce! Stellar Burst, this move should be extremely rapid,¡± Li Yuan wielded the Black Chen Spear, infusing it with Origin Power, endowing the Semi Divine Artifact with terrifying might.


    With every thrust, it burst with the force of exploding stars.


    The power of each thrust was stronger than the last, violently challenging the other figure clad in black armor, wielding dual shields.


    The figure in black armor maneuvered the shields fluidly, with incredible resilience, continuously warding off Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique.


    ¡°Still not fast enough.¡±


    ¡°If only considering the might of the Spear Technique, my second True Intent Killing Move ¡®Stellar Burst¡¯ is immensely powerful, almost the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But no matter how strong the attack¡¯s might is, if the speed is not fast enough, it cannot be fully effective.¡±


    The first True Intent Killing Move ¡®Galaxy Flow Spin¡¯ is a defensive technique, emphasizing an unending continuity.


    The second True Intent Killing Move ¡®Stellar Burst¡¯ is a pure offensive technique, like a tiger pouncing down the mountain, overwhelming the opponent with absolute force.


    But shortly after perfecting this killing move,


    through continuous insight and deduction, Li Yuan realized the issue at hand¡ªthe Spear Technique was indeed fierce but not fast enough¡­ so as long as the enemy could block it head-on, it would be hard to overcome them.


    ¡°Speed.¡±


    ¡°I need to make my Spear Technique faster and more unpredictable, not only with enough frightful power, but it must leave the enemy unable to trace it at all,¡± Li Yuan thought as he fought the figure in black armor, sensing the mysterious fluctuations of the universe through the Long Spear.


    He strived to make his Spear Technique faster and more intricate.


    The strongest, the fastest¡ªthat¡¯s what could be called unbeatable Spear Technique.


    It was also what Li Yuan had always pursued with his third True Intent Killing Move, but he had not yet perfected it.


    ¡°Boom! Boom!¡± The black-armored figure fighting Li Yuan was like an indestructible cockroach.


    Even if it occasionally couldn¡¯t withstand the Long Spear¡¯s fierce strikes and was forced to retreat, it would come back unharmed after Unloading Force, ready to fight again.

    Chapter 420: Chapter 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jing¡¯s Bet (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_2


    ¡°Number Four, that¡¯s enough for today,¡± Li Yuan suddenly spoke up.


    Following that, Li Yuan¡¯s figure abruptly retreated.


    The figure in black armor appeared startled for a moment, then bowed slightly and quickly disappeared into the corridor.


    ¡°These combat robots are really impressive,¡± Li Yuan watched as the other party left, and reflected to himself, ¡°They can perfectly unleash the strength of a top grade Origin Martial Artist, and in terms of vitality alone, I¡¯m afraid even top grade Origin Martial Artists might not keep up.¡±


    And they can execute many profound techniques on command.


    While the efficiency of combat is not as high as with real top grade Origin Martial Artists in actual combat training¡­ the advantage is that they are available anytime and anywhere.


    After all, not even the members of the Martial Divine Hall could afford the luxury of being individually paired with a top grade Origin Martial Artist for sparring in actual combat.


    ¡°Compared to it, the three golden-armored figures in the Hall of Inheritance are even more powerful and agile,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I wonder how such high-grade robots are made, and why aren¡¯t they more widespread?¡±


    If robots with strength comparable to level 28 Origin Martial Artists could be mass produced, then the Seven Star Civilization would likely be able to quickly turn the tide in the many battlefields of the Star Realms.


    Unfortunately,


    except for in the Martial Divine Star Realm, Li Yuan had never seen such powerful robots anywhere else.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master, this is the free cultivation resources provided by the Martial Divine Hall for the following month,¡± a support robot named ¡®Number Five¡¯ by Li Yuan, came down the corridor to the Martial Arts Room, delivering a huge box to Li Yuan.


    At a glance, the box seemed to be half a cubic meter in size.


    All these support robots were humanoid, and their level of intelligence was extremely high, but they did not use biometric technology for their exteriors.


    ¡°Free cultivation resources?¡± Li Yuan reached out to take it, swiftly confirming the triple password, and the box opened.


    Inside were various crystal clear jade bottles, filled with many kinds of liquids.


    ¡°These are all primarily Second Rank treasures, with a few Third Rank treasures forming the Spiritual Liquid,¡± Li Yuan, whose standard had also reached quite a height and had read the introductions in the manual, quickly recognized, ¡°They assist in enhancing Physical Quality and are Spirit Nurturing Elixirs.¡± S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    These resources were provided to every Martial Divine Hall member on a monthly basis.


    If the monthly expense were converted into Blue Star Coins, it would be about 100 million Blue Star Coins, all provided directly.


    ¡°Using these auxiliary cultivation resources, although far from Third Rank treasures, let alone Fourth Rank¡­ they are sufficient to continually escalate the Physical Quality and spiritual power of any Martial Divine Hall member,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The free supply of these resources alone amounted to a staggering number when multiplied by the number of members each year.


    ¡°Number Five, you may go back,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°Have the staff of the Martial Divine Hall convert it all into Blue Star Coins for me.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    To Li Yuan, these auxiliary cultivation resources were of no significance. With normal cultivation, he would reach level 29 in a few months¡­ To progress further and become level 30 was not something that external treasures alone could achieve.


    Moreover, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t planning on trying to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the short term; he was still determined to awaken the Seven Star Veins and possibly even the Eight Star Veins during his time as an Origin Martial Artist.


    For Li Yuan, the stage of Origin Martial Artist was the most crucial phase for establishing a foundation.


    ¡­


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the Pillar of Spirit here would still have some effect in honing me,¡± Li Yuan, in addition to his cultivation, also took time to visit a separate temple not far from the Martial Divine Hall.


    Inside the temple, a massive Pillar of Spirit was placed.


    It was similar to the one at Kunlun Martial University.


    It constantly emitted spiritual pressure to hone the spirits and wills of Martial Artists.


    Even someone as mentally strong as Li Yuan could feel the pressure, clearly indicating that the Pillar of Spirit in the Martial Divine Star Realm was much more advanced.


    Similarly, there were many Martial Divine Hall members practicing here, with dozens present at the moment, many of whom were new members.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is here,¡± many people noted Li Yuan¡¯s presence. Figures like Nevsky and Dantai Feng were also there practicing, and they just thought of getting up to greet him.


    ¡°No need,¡± Li Yuan directly communicated via telepathy, urging them to continue their cultivation in peace.


    ¡°Is that Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°They say he¡¯s only 19, but when I sense his life force, why does it seem so strong? Doesn¡¯t seem much weaker than us.¡±


    ¡°With The Battle of Seven Stars twelve days away, how far can he make it?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say.¡±


    ¡°I reckon he¡¯ll get through the fourth challenge, at most. After all, he¡¯s still so young. Even if his Physical Quality is impressive, his skills are probably not yet at the Fifth Stage High Rank,¡± some of the more veteran members also noticed Li Yuan.


    Judging just by Physical Quality, most of these veteran members were level 29.


    Though part of Martial Divine Mountain, most had heard of Li Yuan.


    Just as Li Yuan was about to leave.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± A voice with a hint of mirth came from behind Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but turn around and saw two figures standing there, the leader wearing a black Battle Garment and a smiling face, looking to be in his thirties.


    Something about him felt familiar to Li Yuan.


    ¡°You are?¡± Li Yuan hesitated slightly, then a spark of recognition flashed in his mind as he recalled a photograph he had seen, saying with some surprise, ¡°Senior Yan Jing?¡±


    ¡°Haha, I didn¡¯t expect you to recognize me, Li Yuan,¡± the young man in the black Battle Garment laughed, clearly pleased.


    He was indeed the senior from Kunlun Martial University who was as famous as Jin Huguo in the past few decades.


    Before coming, Li Yuan had been told by Dean Hai that in his fifth year at the university, Yan Jing had been specially selected for the Martial Divine Hall, and had been practicing in the Martial Divine Star Realm for the past ten years.


    He just hadn¡¯t expected to meet him so soon.


    ¡°Haha, your reputation, senior, is quite legendary at our Kunlun Martial University,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, ¡°Your name is on all the major lists at the school.¡±

 Chapter 421: 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jings Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

    Chapter 421: Chapter 266: Am I First Rank? Yan Jing¡¯s Bet (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3


    ¡°All that¡¯s history,¡± Yan Jing said with a head shake and a chuckle, ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve had an exchange with Brother Jin¡­ he told me you¡¯ve even made it through the complete Kunlun Nine Mountains.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Before him, the many records of the Kunlun Nine Mountains had always been held by Yan Jing.


    ¡°Senior brother, how have the past few years in the Martial Divine Hall been for you?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Your senior brother Yan Jing is a member of the Seven Star Mountain,¡± the gentle woman beside him teased.


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Li Yuan smiled and said. ¡°Senior brother¡¯s strength is almost on par with that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    According to the handbook, to become a member of the Seven Star Mountain, one¡¯s strength must at least reach the threshold of the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°I barely became a member of the Seven Star Mountain last year, leveraging on the strength of my Star Techniques to just meet the attack power standards,¡± Yan Jing said with a shake of his head. ¡°In terms of skills alone, I haven¡¯t even reached the Sixth Stage¡­ compared to a true Flying Heaven Warrior, there¡¯s still a huge gap.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    For a Prime Warrior, without truly grasping the True Intent, it¡¯s difficult to compare with a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Because¡ªFlying Heaven Warriors can fly!


    Flying through the skies is the hallmark of a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ no matter how strong a Prime Warrior¡¯s Star Techniques or weapons might be, if they can¡¯t control the True Intent to fly, they can¡¯t contend with a Flying Heaven Warrior. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Senior brother Yan Jing, is your skill level at 99% of the Fifth Stage?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    As per school records, Yan Jing¡¯s talent should be on par with Jin Huguo¡¯s. Entering the Martial Divine Hall for ten years, progressing from the Fifth Stage High Rank to the brink of Fifth Stage Perfection¡­ a very normal cultivation speed.


    Over the past few days,


    Li Yuan had essentially grasped that although there were still over a thousand people in the Martial Divine Hall, there were just over a hundred members of the Seven Star Mountain.


    This means, the majority of members of the Martial Divine Hall, even after more than ten years of cultivation, still couldn¡¯t pass the seven trials of The Battle of Seven Stars.


    Even the elite talents selected from various planets who have spent decades cultivating in the Martial Divine Hall, only dare to guarantee their step into the Flying Heaven Level¡­ ultimately, very few at the stage of a Prime Warrior truly rival a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Li Yuan, keep it up. Aim to break through the first five trials in The Battle of Seven Stars, or even the sixth,¡± Yan Jing whispered with a laugh. ¡°Others may not know, but I am well aware of your skill level.¡±


    With a smile, Li Yuan responded, ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    ¡­


    Watching Li Yuan depart,


    ¡°Yan Jing, do you think this junior brother can break through the five trials?¡± the gentle woman beside him couldn¡¯t resist asking. ¡°I¡¯ve heard he¡¯s exceptionally gifted, but isn¡¯t he a bit too young?¡±


    ¡°This time I¡¯m betting not just on him breaking through the five trials, but also on him taking first place among the newcomers,¡± Yan Jing replied with a smile.


    ¡°First among the newcomers?¡± The gentle woman was surprised. ¡°Do you think he¡¯s stronger than Bertman from this batch of newcomers?¡±


    ¡°Bertman is Level 29, has trained for much longer, is a Second Class Inheritor of the Martial God, and has absolutely terrifying strength,¡± the gentle woman questioned doubtfully. ¡°Li Yuan will definitely be incredibly strong later, perhaps the next Lude Nef.¡±


    ¡°But right now? How can he compete with Bertman?¡± The gentle woman shook her head, clearly skeptical about Li Yuan¡¯s current strength earning him the first place.


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile. ¡°I was actually planning to pay a visit to this junior brother, just happened to bump into him.¡±


    ¡°Firstly, to build a relationship.¡±


    ¡°And secondly, to assess his Physical Quality¡­ I sensed it carefully just now, and he¡¯s at least Level 28, from the intelligence I¡¯ve gathered, it seems he also has the soul of Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see, I believe in him.¡±


    Yan Jing, who once ventured into the Ninth Mountain among Kunlun Nine Mountains, knew very well the skill requirements for passing the Kunlun Nine Mountains¡­ He also calculated Li Yuan¡¯s skill improvement rate over the past year.


    He reached an astonishing conclusion¡ªLi Yuan¡¯s current skill level might have already reached the brink of the Fifth Stage.


    In the end, he decided to take a gamble.


    With many members in the Martial Divine Hall, many senior members would privately place bets.


    Be it with Blue Star Coins or with Seven Stars Points.


    Events like the annual Battle of Seven Stars were the pinnacle, where the most popular bets were on who would take first place and who could pass the five trials.


    ¡°This time, how much are you planning to wager?¡± the gentle woman asked.


    ¡°Not much, just 1000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Yan Jing said.


    ¡°That¡¯s not much?¡± The gentle woman was shocked. ¡°Are you insane?¡±


    1000 Seven Stars Points is something not even a Flying Heaven Warrior could ignore.


    ¡°No one has faith in Li Yuan, so those bookmakers have set very high odds. I will be spreading my bets,¡± he said.


    ¡°I have confidence in Li Yuan,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile. ¡°Rest assured, this time I might be able to make back everything I¡¯ve lost before.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re totally mad, a lunatic,¡± the gentle woman retorted, shaking her head. ¡°How many Seven Stars Points have you saved up in all your years, apart from what you need for your own cultivation?¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯m betting on is what others don¡¯t know about Li Yuan¡¯s true strength,¡± Yan Jing said.


    Li Yuan, having traversed the Kunlun Nine Mountains, had caused an immense stir within Kunlun Martial University, regarded as a legend by many students.


    But inside the Martial Divine Hall, except for Yan Jing and Jin Huguo, hardly anyone knew about this.


    This is the difference in information.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan had no idea that Yan Jing was placing bets on him.


    After taking a tour around the Martial Divine Hall and gaining a preliminary understanding,


    ¡°Lecture Hall?¡±


    ¡°According to the handbook, every once in a while there will be Flying Heaven Peak Warriors who come to teach the Mysteries of True Intent,¡± Li Yuan glanced over at the several massive halls in the distance.


    Each of the halls was large enough to accommodate over a thousand people.


    Today, only one of the halls was filled with many Martial Divine Hall members attending a class.


    Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, with at least Sixth Stage skills and a direct understanding of the Mysteries of True Intent, can easily attract members of the Martial Divine Hall to their lectures.


    Occasionally, even Star Masters of Level 36 would come to teach a class.


    The schedule would be distributed to every student.


    But whether or not they choose to attend, and which Flying Heaven Warrior¡¯s class they wish to listen to, is up to each member to decide.

    ¡°`


    ¡°The lecturer today seems to be a Flying Heaven Peak martial artist from the Metal Vein, not interested,¡± Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    He headed straight for the Martial Divine Hall.


    Today was July 5th, the very day when, following the ranking, he could receive the Martial God Inheritance.


    ¡­


    The Martial Divine Hall towered majestically, emanating an ancient and vast aura. Its doors were bronze-colored and usually kept closed.


    Apart from Li Yuan, no one else arrived at the ¡®waiting area¡¯ outside the door.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The gate opened, and a figure in purple clothes flew straight out of the palace. Li Yuan did not recognize the unfamiliar face.


    Their eyes met only briefly.


    The figure in purple soared into the sky, heading toward Seven Star Mountain in the high sky.


    ¡°A member of Seven Star Mountain? The ability to fly without relying on a flying device suggests a super genius who must control True Intent,¡± Li Yuan looked up at the suspended mountain range in the sky, its peaks rising and falling continuously.


    Living atop Seven Star Mountain, overlooking the entire Star Realm, must be very uplifting.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Please enter,¡± a cold voice echoed from behind the waiting area, ¡°If you do not enter within one minute, you will be considered to have forfeited this Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped directly into the Martial Divine Hall, and the metallic gate slowly closed behind him.


    ¡­


    The interior of the Martial Divine Hall was spacious with a metal floor, but towering Divine Pillars stood throughout.


    Mysterious patterns were carved on the pillars, too obscure for Li Yuan to decipher.


    Overall, the entire hall¡¯s style was very antiquarian.


    As his gaze swept across the room, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but think of the Hall of Inheritance where Gu You resided; both structures were quite similar.


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    ¡°That this Martial Divine Hall, like the Hall of Inheritance, was left behind by powerful beings from the past? Is it an ancient relic?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The next moment. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept over Li Yuan, attempting to plunge his consciousness into oblivion.


    ¡°Wake up!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s strong mental presence subconsciously resisted this enveloping wave.


    ¡°First Rank Martial God Inheritor Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Do not resist, or else the inheritance cannot commence.¡±


    ¡°First Rank?¡± Li Yuan paused upon hearing this, wasn¡¯t it supposed to be Second Class?


    Even the Duanmu Mountain Master had said he was a Second Class Martial God Inheritor.


    When had it changed to First Rank?


    But this was not the time for Li Yuan to delve into such questions.


    After just a moment¡¯s hesitation, Li Yuan ceased resisting and willingly surrendered to the invisible pull.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes closed.


    A few seconds later.


    ¡°Swoosh~¡±


    Whether deliberate or not, in the hands of the now closed-eyed Li Yuan, a Long Spear suddenly appeared.


    It was the Black Chen Spear.


    Then, boom! Li Yuan¡¯s body was instantly covered in countless earthy yellow lights, his Long Spear drawing dazzling radiance¡­ terrifying Spear Techniques were executed one after another.


    This was an instinct, compelling Li Yuan to deploy his most formidable strength subconsciously.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Endless Spear Light bloomed as Li Yuan, guided by the invisible force, achieved a perfect blend of mind and body.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Strength assessment successful.¡±


    ¡°Skilled in Spear Technique, exhibits a high level of affinity with the Earth Vein¡­ also has a certain level of compatibility with the Wind Vein¡­¡± a cold voice began to resonate within Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Inheritance initiated.¡±


    ¡°Marking target induction, unknown Fifth Order Divine Being, skilled in Spear Technique, versed in both Earth and Wind Laws.¡±


    ¡°Inheritance begins.¡±


    Even though Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was being guided, he remained lucid.


    This moment, that cold voice set off tempestuous waves in his heart.


    He had a certain degree of compatibility with the Wind Vein? Since when was he aware of this?


    At the same time.


    Li Yuan also realized that the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Martial Divine Hall inheritance¡­ seemed indeed to be related to Divine Beings.


    Before Li Yuan could contemplate further.


    Hum~


    A point of light emerged within the hall, appearing out of nowhere, and descended directly onto Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness sank entirely, but in that instant, he became utterly transfixed.

 Chapter 423: 267: Law Integration! The Pinnacle of Spear Technique (Additional Chapter 6)

    Chapter 423: Chapter 267: Law Integration! The Pinnacle of Spear Technique (Additional Chapter 6)


    This was a rather vast world.


    An endless wilderness stretched before him, the land vast and broad, with a figure about three meters high standing there.


    He was clad in black combat armor intricately patterned, as if containing unnamed fluctuations that made the figure¡¯s presence even more terrifying.


    In his palm was a nearly five-meter-long silver spear, the shaft of which was carved with countless complex and secret runes, particularly at the spearhead.


    Whoosh!


    The black figure¡¯s long spear suddenly moved, practicing spear technique on the spot.


    It was in the instant of the spear¡¯s dance.


    Hum~ Soundlessly, a consciousness completely merged into the figure in the black combat armor.


    ¡°Me?¡± Li Yuan was bewildered, sensing that he seemed to have entered a new body, his perception sharp to the extreme, with the vast world seemingly within his control.


    His immensely powerful body, every gesture, seemed capable of annihilating heaven and earth.


    However, Li Yuan¡¯s conscious will was very vague, as if suppressed by an invisible force, unable to control the body, only sensing instinctively.


    ¡°The mark!¡±


    ¡°Right, this seems to be a spiritual imprint left by a divine being,¡± the thought vaguely flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°What I should do is to sense the mystery of this imprint.¡±


    Spear Technique!


    Li Yuan could sense that the man in the black combat armor was practicing spear techniques, each movement slow, not even harnessing much power within his body, yet the spear was drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth.


    ¡°It is the force of the Earth Vein from heaven and earth.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s perception was extremely clear; this was the force of heaven and earth he often harnessed in his training.


    Utterly familiar!


    Beyond the force of the Earth Vein of heaven and earth, Li Yuan also sensed another force, just as refined, but not as powerful.


    ¡°This force of heaven and earth, it somehow also feels familiar.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s subconscious had already forgotten what he was supposed to do, only focusing all his effort on sensing it, trying to understand, to remember.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The man in the black combat armor continued practicing with the spear, its might rapidly transforming, not containing a trace of Origin Power, but the force of heaven and earth it summoned was increasingly terrifying and refined.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    With the movement of the spear, it seemed like stars in tumult, making the man in the black combat armor appear as a celestial body, embodying an unshakable, terrifying dignity capable of crushing everything.


    ¡°Stellar True Intent!¡±


    ¡°His level of spear technique has entered the Sixth Stage, the force of heaven and earth so refined, it can be called True Intent,¡± Li Yuan continued to sense clearly.


    He had an illusion, as if he himself had also comprehended the Stellar True Intent.


    This feeling was very mysterious and strange.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± The originally mighty and majestic spear technique abruptly changed, seeming to incorporate another profound mystery, becoming unpredictable.


    A burst of spear light, occasionally erupting, was enough to stir the void for over a hundred meters, as if to tear the void apart.


    The speed of the silver spear dance grew faster.


    The might of the spear technique grew more terrifying.


    ¡°This¡­ seems to be the integration of another True Intent, the combination of two mighty True Intents,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s sensing became more arduous: ¡°This should be Wind¡­ the Mystery of the Wind Vein¡¯s True Intent.¡±


    It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.


    Regarding the Stellar True Intent, Li Yuan had cultivated to the Fifth Stage Perfection, and he was only one step away from the initial condensation of True Intent.


    Therefore, he found sensing the Divine Being¡¯s imprint and comprehending the mysteries of Stellar True Intent extremely comforting.


    All the many confusions of the past seemed to unravel in an instant.


    But as for the mystery of the Earth Vein¡¯s True Intent? Although, in the training over the past few months, Li Yuan had followed his heart in pursuit of maximizing the speed of his Spear Technique, and had already begun to unwittingly draw on a bit of the power of Heaven and Earth from the Earth Vein¡­ he was still far from condensing the Earth Vein¡¯s True Intent.


    So, even though he had a very clear sense of it, Li Yuan still struggled to truly understand.


    ¡°Follow this feeling.¡±


    ¡°Experience these profound fluctuations.¡± Although Li Yuan¡¯s conscious mind was suppressed, his subconscious, instinctual nature had given up on directly deciphering and was instead striving to remember this rhythm of the Spear Technique.


    To grasp the profoundness! To seize the essence!


    From this moment, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness seemed to completely merge with the man in black combat armor, indistinguishable from each other, clearly sensing the copious mysterious fluctuations of Heaven and Earth in his Spear Technique.


    Time passed.


    The Spear Technique displayed by the man in black combat armor became increasingly powerful. He still had not drawn upon his physical strength, but his Spiritual Will had completely merged into the Spear Technique.


    The Spear Technique became ever more sharp.


    The power of Heaven and Earth it drew upon grew increasingly vast and unfathomable.


    A radius of several hundred meters around him, following the rhythm of the Spear Technique, had been thoroughly turned into ruins.


    Countless fragments of stone and dirt shook and tumbled through the vast sky along with the Spear Light.


    Suddenly, it seemed as if the power of Heaven and Earth being drawn upon had reached a certain limit. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    With a sudden thrust of his long spear, the man in black combat armor unleashed a strike that was immensely powerful and also incredibly fast.


    With a single thrust!


    Boom! Boom! The previously vast and imposing power of Heaven and Earth was completely compressed into a single point, all condensed at the tip of the spear, instantly making the power of the spear tip reach an inconceivable level.


    Whoosh~


    The Spear Light tore through the vast sky, instantly piercing through a thousand kilometers of the void, leaving behind a long-lasting trace between Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Law!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Law of Earth, the Wind Law.¡± Li Yuan realized, and vaguely thought of a move he had seen Principal Fang Hai perform before.


    A single drop of rain, tearing through Heaven and Earth.


    How similar it was to the move he was witnessing now, both directly drawing upon the mystery of Heaven and Earth, and their power reaching terrifying levels.


    Human strength is limited.


    But the power of Heaven and Earth is infinite.


    ¡°This Divine Being¡¯s move seems even stronger, his Spear Technique containing two great laws, almost perfectly integrating the Law of Earth with that of Wind.¡± Li Yuan felt enlightened.


    The man in black combat armor continued to practice his spear, his Spear Technique becoming ever more esoteric.


    Let alone the Wind Law, even the fluctuations of the Law of Earth were completely beyond Li Yuan¡¯s understanding.


    After all, he had only just touched the threshold of True Intent, to say nothing of condensing the essential mysteries of the laws representing the nature of Heaven and Earth.


    But still.


    Even if he did not understand, this resonance and comprehension of the Spiritual Imprint was indeed a special kind of baptism, laying the firmest foundation for Li Yuan¡¯s future cultivation.


    After a long time had passed and this resonance of consciousness became extremely exhausting, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness gradually became weary.


    Finally.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The man in black combat armor¡¯s eyes snapped into focus.


    He abruptly mobilized the vast and endless origin power within his body and fully activated the six star meridians¡­ he burst out with all his might.


    A spear thrust forward.


    The terrifying power instantly tore through the land ahead.


    It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split apart; one by one, mountains were crushed and torn apart, eventually leaving behind a ravine hundreds of kilometers long¡­ such was the terrifying power of a single spear.


    Whoosh!


    The man in black combat armor finally retracted his spear and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.


    His burst speed had reached over 100 kilometers per second in just a few seconds, arriving at the very edge of the void.


    Hum~


    The thread of consciousness that belonged to Li Yuan, which had descended here, was rapidly disintegrating, and in the final scene before complete disintegration, he vaguely saw a massive warship at the edge of the void.


    On the warship, there seemed to be many figures wearing the same black combat armor¡­


    ¡­


    Inside the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat puzzled, feeling a sense of unreality.


    A very mystical experience


    To resonate with the spiritual imprint of a divine being? The impact on Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual will was too great.


    Even with a soul as strong as his, he was somewhat dazed for a time.


    In the countless spear techniques he sensed through the consciousness resonance.


    Now, combined with Li Yuan¡¯s lucid consciousness, his mind was flooded with countless insights.


    Yet, if he wanted to truly master them, he had to personally practice and experience the spear technique.


    After a while, Li Yuan finally calmed down completely.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice suddenly said, ¡°Remember, only a first-rank Martial God inheritor is eligible for ¡®consciousness resonance¡¯ and can understand the true essence of the inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Second-class Martial God inheritors and third-class Martial God inheritors, except for very few, mostly just assimilate the marks and learn through intuition. The effects of their inheritance differ much more. Even if they have guesses, they do not understand the specific details.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, remember not to reveal any secrets,¡± the gentle voice said.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He had a hunch that this gentle voice was probably the true ruler of the Martial Divine Hall.


    As for the so-called truth? Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled even more.


    This divine imprint left by the divine being¡­ was just too miraculous, and from the screening situation just now, the number of divine being inheritances contained within the Martial Divine Hall was probably astonishing.


    Indeed, it was very surprising.


    So many divine inheritances, where did they come from? This was surely one of the greatest secrets of the Seven Star Civilization.


    At this moment, Li Yuan also somewhat understood.


    Why, in just a short period of time, the Seven Star Civilization rose swiftly, giving birth to so many demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors.


    With the Martial Divine Hall¡¯s inheritance, the probability of a genius growing into a strong warrior was much higher.


    What constitutes the foundation of a civilization? This was it!


    ¡°As a first-rank Martial God inheritor, you can receive an inheritance of marks once a year,¡± the gentle voice said. ¡°You may return next July.¡±


    ¡°But externally, you are still considered a second-rank Martial God inheritor, do not expose yourself.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his mind already on the Divine Spirit Liquid, which was also provided privately.


    The Martial God inheritance was probably the same.


    ¡°Furthermore, I must remind you, the inheritance of marks and the consciousness resonance are merely to let you experience the pinnacle of spear technique and the mystery of the law¡¯s fluctuation; they are still just auxiliary to your own efforts.¡±


    ¡°Your own spear technique, your perception of the heavens and earth¡­ you must still cultivate step by step,¡± the gentle voice advised. ¡°Do not be negligent, as every instance of consciousness resonance comes at a great cost to our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    Indeed, the consciousness resonance was not real, he had not yet condensed the Stellar True Intent, and he was still far from understanding the Mystery of Wind¡­ yet this experience was enough to give him a more complete recognition of the path ahead.


    In a sense, it was as if he had received the cultivation experience of a divine being.


    ¡°Any other questions?¡± the gentle voice asked. ¡°If there are no questions, you may leave.¡±


    ¡°May I ask senior, what are the requirements to advance from a first-rank Martial God inheritor to a special-rank Martial God inheritor?¡± Li Yuan asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.


    If there were such benefits to being first-rank, what about special-rank?


    The hall fell silent for a few seconds.


    ¡°When you achieve Flying Heaven, think about it then,¡± the gentle voice answered. ¡°Special-rank Martial God inheritors are unrelated to the Martial Divine Hall¡­ when your strength is sufficiently powerful, you will naturally come to understand.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan walked out of the hall.


    Rumbling~ the doors of the hall closed.


    ¡°Fifth-rank unidentified divine being inheritance imprint, depleted of power, now temporarily sealed for restoration.¡±


    ¡°Reactivate in twenty years.¡± An invisible fluctuation transmitted throughout the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡­


    Soon after, Li Yuan returned to his palace residence.


    ¡°Xiaoyu! Activate seclusion mode!¡±


    ¡°For the next twelve days, no one must disturb me for anything other than matters of extreme importance,¡± Li Yuan ordered directly.


    Right now, having just received the inheritance, all sorts of feelings and insights were at their clearest. He had to seize the time to cultivate.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Xiaoyu responded.


    Quickly, the entire villa was transformed, isolating all external influences.


    In the underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°Spear!¡± The Black Chen Spear appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s right hand, and he gripped it firmly, his mind filled with the scenes of consciousness resonance with the unknown divine being he had just experienced.


    He did not rashly begin practicing with the spear but instead strived to quiet his heart and search for that special sensation.


    For a long time.


    ¡°Law Integration!¡±


    ¡°The strongest, the fastest! That is the peak of spear technique,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently. ¡°That unknown divine being managed to integrate two laws, increasing the might of the spear technique to an incomprehensible level¡­ I am far behind.¡±


    ¡°One step at a time.¡±


    ¡°Follow the sensation and practice!¡±

 Chapter 424: 268: Breakthrough! Embryo of True Intent (Request for Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 424: Chapter 268: Breakthrough! Embryo of True Intent (Request for Monthly Votes)


    Time flowed by, day by day.


    Beyond his daily foundational cultivation, Li Yuan devoted almost all his remaining time to practicing his spear technique.


    Without sleep or rest.


    Besides Li Yuan, the newcomers who had just joined the Martial Divine Hall, after their initial excitement, also began to practice relentlessly.


    With the inheritance of the Martial God, teachers who were Flying Heaven Peak warriors, various free third-rank secret manuals, optimal combat training, and numerous auxiliary cultivation treasures¡­ any martial arts genius would understand that these are undoubtedly the best cultivation conditions offered by the Seven Star Civilization.


    If not now, when would they strive hard?


    Especially those geniuses who had received the ¡°Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    For instance, Li Yuan had conveyed Yu Jinghe¡¯s advice to Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, and others¡­


    Feeling the preciousness of the Martial God Inheritance, these geniuses naturally desired even more to ascend from third-class inheritors to second-class, or even first-class.


    After all, third-class inheritors of the Martial God could only receive the inheritance once every five years.


    Compared to the first-class and second-class, the difference in treatment was far too great.


    And The Battle of Seven Stars would be their first debut in the Martial Divine Star Realm, an event that both the Mountain Lords and demigods would pay attention to.


    ¡­


    July 17th.


    In the vast underground Martial Arts Room, bright lights illuminated the area like daylight.


    Whoosh~ Whoosh~


    Li Yuan was holding a long spear and constantly practicing his spear technique in the Martial Arts Room.


    Every swing of his long spear drew upon astonishing heavenly and earthly forces, sometimes creating starlight phantoms and sometimes forming spear light illusions.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    However, compared to the past, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique had clearly changed; it was neither the purely continuous and absolute defense of the ¡°Whirling Galaxy¡± nor the wild, sweeping, overwhelming offense of the ¡°Stellar Burst,¡± which served as offense in place of defense.


    Instead, it combined the advantages of both true intent killing moves.


    ¡°Spear techniques that are too soft won¡¯t do, and long defenses are hard to maintain,¡± Li Yuan reflected with clarity in his mind. ¡°But spear techniques that are too rigid and strong also won¡¯t do, for excessive rigidity leads to breakage, and unrelenting fierce attacks will eventually exhaust their momentum.¡±


    ¡°The so-called Stellar True Intent should inherently be complete and flawless, inclusive and comprehensive.¡±


    ¡°The truly superior Stellar Spear Technique should be a harmonious blend of strength and softness, Yin-Yang conversion, continuous and never-ending.¡± Since accepting the Martial God Inheritance, for more than ten days, Li Yuan had been practicing the spear following his own insights.


    The miraculous experience of consciousness resonance allowed Li Yuan to unconsciously gravitate towards the spear technique of the divine, absorbing the essence of the Divine Spear Technique.


    While pondering alone, Li Yuan would occasionally observe the ¡°Map of Myriad Stars,¡± combining it with his own insights for deduction and summarization.


    His many advantages led to rapid progress.


    In just over ten days, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique became smoother and more fluid, and he felt that many of the perplexities of the past were gradually being resolved.


    Suddenly, as if a stroke of luck had touched his heart.


    ¡°Swoosh~¡± Suddenly, his previously wildly unremitting spear technique transformed in an instant. Li Yuan¡¯s whole body¡¯s vigor, in combination with his Origin Power, burst forth through the Black Chen Spear. The numerous spear light phantoms that had exploded before converged, as if a star were suddenly collapsing, with countless energies and materials all gathering at the center, completely concentrating.


    The next instant!


    Boom! The terrifying heavenly and earthly forces, compressed to the extreme, were almost entirely focused on the tip of the spear and burst forth from the long spear, twisting as they erupted skywards, and shockingly shot out a spear light dozens of meters long through the void.


    Piercing the void!


    Enduring endlessly!


    Clearly, this spear light had been condensed to the extreme.


    ¡°Haha!¡±


    ¡°I did it, I¡¯ve finally mastered it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled with an inexplicable light, ¡°The condensation of this spear has increased my attack power by several times over.¡±


    ¡°The might of one spear is nearly at the limit of the Fifth Stage,¡± Li Yuan mused internally, ¡°It can already be considered the embryonic form of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°To think that the chasm between the Fifth and Sixth Stages has been crossed by me so unwittingly.¡±


    What is called the condensation of True Intent,


    is to continuously comprehend and lead the forces of heaven and earth until they fuse into one point, much like curling five fingers into a fist and punching out fiercely, its power astonishing¡­ Previously, Li Yuan¡¯s two major True Intent Killing Moves, whether utmost yin or utmost yang, couldn¡¯t achieve perfect condensation, thus they could only be considered Fifth Stage Perfection.


    But now, this move, with Yin-Yang conversion and perpetual life, is truly close to the spear technique of the Sixth Stage.


    It can be said.


    In the time to come, as long as Li Yuan keeps comprehending and sensing more of the forces of heaven and earth, and strives to integrate these comprehensions into this spear technique killing move¡­ and keeps refining it.


    He will inevitably truly step into the Sixth Stage.


    Just by creating the third True Intent Killing Move, his skill has reached the threshold of the Sixth Stage; should this news spread, it would surely shock the many geniuses of the Martial Divine Hall and a great number of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    It¡¯s well known that many Flying Heaven Warriors, relying on years of accumulation, have created five or even six True Intent Killing Moves, yet still struggle to break through.


    ¡°True Intent Killing Moves value quality, not quantity,¡±


    Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°These three True Intent Killing Moves of mine have already encapsulated the mysteries of the Stellar True Intent, sufficient for my use.¡±


    ¡°Many Flying Heaven Warriors, despite creating numerous True Intent Killing Moves, essentially have an insufficiently high comprehension of the Mystery of Heaven and Earth, and the core mysteries of many moves are similar, unable to merge with each other¡­ Being numerous and mixed actually hinders breakthrough,¡± Li Yuan, now of a higher realm and having inherited the divine spear-fighting experience, had an elevated perspective as well.


    In the current eyes of Li Yuan, many of the skills and moves of the Flying Heaven Warriors had flaws and weaknesses.


    Such rapid progress was also because Li Yuan had sufficient accumulation, having practiced the Supreme Star Technique for so long, the Martial God inheritance, and the Map of Myriad Stars¡­ all added up with Li Yuan¡¯s inherently high Comprehension.


    He had made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.


    ¡°This move, I will name based on the final layer¡¯s conception in ¡®Meaning of the Stellar¡¯,¡± Li Yuan thought casually, ¡°Let¡¯s call it ¡®Stellar Reversion to Ruins¡¯.¡±


    In an instant, all power is withdrawn and then in the next moment, it completely bursts forth towards one point, indeed worthy of the phrase ¡®reversion to ruins¡¯.¡±


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°Up to now, I still can¡¯t integrate the mysteries of the wind into the Stellar Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique, while always pursuing the strongest, the fastest,


    during the resonance of consciousness with the Divine Spear Technique, he personally experienced the integration of the two laws.


    However, when he truly consciously mimicked the Divine Spear Technique to practice, Li Yuan realized¡­ it was too difficult.


    First of all, to truly comprehend the mystery of the wind was very difficult.


    ¡°I may have some talent in the Wind Vein, but compared to the talent of the Earth Vein, it¡¯s far too lacking,¡± Li Yuan secretly said, ¡°Over these ten-plus days, I have only comprehended a bit of the mysteries of the wind.¡±


    ¡°Computed, it¡¯s barely at the standard of 10% of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    The boost to his strength was negligible.


    Li Yuan also attempted to combine the two forces of heaven and earth.


    But the core of the two forces was entirely different, like two armies abruptly mixed together¡ªbattle power may not increase, but might even decrease.


    At least, Li Yuan still didn¡¯t have much of a clue now.


    Spear Technique moves, invoking the power of heaven and earth, were never about quantity but about suitability.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll contemplate it step by step. That divine being was even able to combine two major laws to erupt with power,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°I just want to make a preliminary integration of the Earth and Wind mysteries, and I refuse to believe I can¡¯t do it.¡±


    He calmed his mind.


    Li Yuan continued to ponder over the Spear Technique, not stopping until deep into the night.


    Then he began to practice the Visualization Method.


    ¡­


    July 18th, a little past four in the morning.


    ¡°Once dawn arrives, it will be the time for The Battle of Seven Stars,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes carried a hint of anticipation. ¡°I also don¡¯t know how far I can go.¡±


    His gaze involuntarily swept over the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s physical quality, Spear Technique skills, or Star Technique, all have been cultivated to the current limit,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself. ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡±


    He gently closed his eyes, silently regulating his breath.


    At eight o¡¯clock in the morning, he drank some Third Rank Spiritual Liquid again and ate some food.


    Feeling quite comfortable throughout his body, Li Yuan finally received a message alert: ¡°Li Yuan, come out quickly.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, with a maximum diameter of over a thousand kilometers, only lived a little over a thousand Martial Divine Hall members, and a handful of logistical support staff.


    Therefore, aside from the most central area which served as the daily living and cultivation space for geniuses like Li Yuan and Dantai Feng,


    In the outer areas, many ultra-large buildings with special uses were constructed.


    For example¡ªthe Seven Stars Battlefield.


    This actually is a large-scale combat space built specially for the yearly Battle of Seven Stars.


    Inside a small flying vehicle that was carrying Li Yuan, Dantai Feng, Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Yin Man, and Yin He, they flew towards the vast expanse of the Seven Stars Battlefield.


    The twelve talents from Blue Star seemed to be from the same hometown, but most were not acquainted with one another.


    They formed small cliques.


    Or to say, the several hundred geniuses of the entire Martial Divine Hall were all divided into many cliques.


    And this group, naturally centered around Li Yuan, with people like Yin Man, Yin He¡­ was purely because they were all from Xia Country and wished to socialize a bit, thus they had taken the initiative to gather.


    ¡°You all didn¡¯t come yesterday,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile. ¡°Yesterday¡¯s Seven Stars advancement battle for the older generation was actually quite amazing.¡±


    ¡°Over a dozen made a successful assault on the Seven Star Mountain, even revealing mysteries of True Intent,¡± Dantai Feng said with a sigh. ¡°So impressive, those two, I heard, are veterans who have been practicing for over ten years, still Prime Warriors but definitely a match for a real Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    The Battle of Seven Stars held in the Martial Divine Star Realm, aside from the yearly battle for newcomers, also holds ¡®advancement battles¡¯.


    Any old members who feel they have sufficient strength can apply to fight.


    It¡¯s generally held two days before the newcomers¡¯ battle, with the option for others to go watch.


    ¡°You missed out big time by not seeing it,¡± Dantai Feng said with a look of regret.


    ¡°As if everyone¡¯s like you, not capable enough to participate in the battle, yet not focusing on cultivation,¡± Tian Dazhuang shook his head. ¡°Wandering around all day.¡±


    ¡°This is called familiarizing oneself with the environment and broadening one¡¯s knowledge,¡± Dantai Feng retorted, glaring at him. ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t you also go to watch the fight yesterday?¡±


    ¡°Haha!¡± A burst of laughter came from the group.


    Everyone was used to the banter between Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang.


    In fact, if Li Yuan was not participating in the battle himself, he probably would have gone to watch.


    ¡­


    The flying vehicle arrived at the outer area of the Seven Stars Battlefield, a gigantic metallic structure over a hundred meters tall. As they got closer, it was still quite shocking to behold.


    Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others got off the flying vehicle.


    ¡°Such a huge building, and it¡¯s only used a couple of times a year, that¡¯s pretty extravagant,¡± Tian Dazhuang remarked.


    ¡°Not just that,¡± Alicia said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that occasionally, when Martial Divine Hall members challenge each other, they will also hold it here.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Tian Dazhuang realized.


    ¡°There are quite a few people who¡¯ve come.¡± Li Yuan looked around.


    Many people were also getting off flying vehicles, heading into the interior of the battlefield through the gate.


    How many people were in the entire Martial Divine Hall?


    Li Yuan was quite surprised to see so many people coming to watch. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Normally, each year only about one or two hundred old members come to watch, with most people still focusing on their cultivation,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile. ¡°But this time it¡¯s different. Anyone who stayed in the Martial Divine Star Realm will probably come to watch.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Not just Alicia, but even Yin Man and Yin He were curious.


    Dantai Feng revealed a mysterious smile: ¡°Because this year there are two people who are receiving a lot of attention. One is Bertman. He is quite old but has received a Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot. Many say he has the potential to win six battles.¡±


    ¡°The other is you, Li Yuan,¡± Dantai Feng said, looking at Li Yuan with a spark in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that.


    ¡°In the last few months, Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, when they meet at Martial Divine Hall gatherings, they mention that they consider Li Yuan to be the number one talent of the alliance, destined to surpass Lude Nef.¡±


    ¡°Your fame has already spread wide.¡±


    ¡°How could your first Battle of Seven Stars not attract attention?¡± Dantai Feng expressed with feeling. ¡°What a pity, when will I receive such remarks like Lude Nef and the others.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Lude Nef? Wu Manong? They actually commented on Li Yuan like that?¡±


    ¡°No wonder Li Yuan¡¯s fame is so great.¡±


    ¡°These past few days, while training at the Pillar of Spirit, I often heard many of the older members mention Li Yuan, and some were perplexed by the high level of attention Li Yuan has garnered.¡±


    ¡°It turns out that¡¯s the case.¡± Jin Huguo, Tian Dazhuang, and Yin Man listened with considerable emotion.


    The members of Martial Divine Hall have a ¡®Seven Stars Ranking¡¯ which only includes the top twenty brilliant talents from the Seven Star Mountain, with Lude Nef ranked first.


    Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and the others are also listed among them, so people like Jin Huguo were well aware of the formidable strength of the few mentioned by Dantai Feng.


    Those are the most top-notch talents in the contemporary Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Li Yuan, do you know them?¡± Yin He, who rarely spoke, couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Both from Xia Country and in terms of training years, Yin He is the oldest among them, and among the senior students at Blue Star Starfire Martial University, his strength is also the strongest.


    However, compared to Bores, he is much more low-key.


    ¡°We met in the Fierce Feather Star Realm,¡± Alicia said with a smile: ¡°The captain¡¯s strength has earned him considerable respect from Wu Manong and Lude Nef.¡±


    Everyone suddenly understood. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Bertman has arrived,¡± Alicia suddenly said in a low voice, prompting everyone to look over.


    Li Yuan also looked over.


    Several figures disembarked from another flying vehicle not far away. The man leading them wore a blue robe and had short purple hair. He looked to be just over twenty years old, with a stern expression.


    A group of people were crowding around him, heading inside.


    Bertman glanced at Li Yuan and the others, especially taking a longer look at Li Yuan, but his face showed no sign of emotion.


    ¡°Level 29.6? It seems to have increased by 0.1 since last time,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    He had activated the Divine Palace Inquiry to confirm the other¡¯s Life Level.


    In fact, on the very first day Li Yuan arrived at Martial Divine Star Realm, he had encountered Bertman, who had the highest Life Level among the newcomers.


    But at the time, Li Yuan did not know that person was Bertman.


    ¡°Pretty arrogant,¡± Dantai Feng grumbled: ¡°And he¡¯s got so many people following him like underlings.¡±


    ¡°If you were as strong as him, you¡¯d probably be even more arrogant,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a chuckle: ¡°I¡¯ve looked up Bertman¡¯s information; he comes from Tianhai Star, and those around him are most likely newcomers who came from Tianhai Star this year.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    The Seven Star Civilization consists of the Seven Great Planets.


    Just in terms of population, Feixing comes first with 50 billion, followed by Tianhai Star with over 30 billion, and then comes the Blue Star with over 10 billion people.


    The larger the population, the greater the number of martial arts talents that will be selected.


    Population is the foundation of birthing top-notch talents.


    ¡°Almost all the older students say he is hopeful to win first place in the newcomer battle. I know that in the betting pools organized by the older students, they all bet on him to be number one in the newcomer battle and to get the highest performance evaluation,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a laugh.


    It was clear that, like Tian Dazhuang and Dantai Feng who didn¡¯t have the pressure of participating in The Battle of Seven Stars, they had the most interactions with other older members over half a month and knew the most about various sorts of information.


    ¡°First place? Him? If he were really that powerful, he would have been chosen for the Martial Arts Hall long ago,¡± Alicia frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.


    Deep down, she was very much looking forward to Li Yuan winning first place in the newcomer battle.


    ¡°Alicia, don¡¯t underestimate anyone,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°Being a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, his greater age actually gives him an advantage in the newcomer¡¯s Battle of Seven Stars.¡±


    ¡°Besides, being so aged yet directly confirmed as a Second-Class Martial God Inheritor also indirectly proves his exceptional qualities,¡± Li Yuan said smilingly.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Alicia nodded, not objecting.


    Just as everyone was about to enter,


    ¡°Li Yuan, Alicia, you guys got here before me,¡± a voice of surprise suddenly came from behind them. Following closely, a figure with a full head of blond hair strode forward, revealing a self-perceived handsome smile.


    Alicia frowned.


    The smiles also faded from everyone else¡¯s faces.


    ¡°Bores,¡± Li Yuan, however, revealed a polite smile: ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s been a long time,¡± Bores said with a big grin: ¡°Shall we go in together?¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    ¡­


    The entire Battle of Seven Stars arena is quite vast.


    Everyone proceeded along the corridor, stepped onto the stairs, and quickly came upon quite a spacious battlefield, with a maximum diameter that definitely exceeded 3 kilometers.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite large,¡± Li Yuan observed with a sweep of his gaze.


    The terrain of the entire battlefield was not completely flat, but rather quite complex; it was not fully forged from metal either, at first glance it almost seemed like soil, clearly of a very special material.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the building materials for the entire Seven Stars surface are very unique, acquired in a trade with an Alien Civilization by a Demigod,¡± Dantai Feng said excitedly: ¡°Similar to memory metal, even if the fighting intensifies and changes the terrain, after a major battle, the entire battlefield will quickly return to its original state.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s pretty special,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    The group headed towards the Spectator Platform area.


    Compared to the vast combat area, the spectator area was built much smaller, limited to one side of the combat space.


    There were only three thousand spectator seats.


    After all, how many members are there in Martial Divine Hall? The number has never exceeded two thousand in decades.


    Thus, three thousand spectator seats were sufficient.


    ¡°Bertman has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is here, too.¡±


    ¡°It seems Lude Nef and the others think highly of Li Yuan, but from what I see in those betting pools, they seem to favor Bertman even more.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? How long has Bertman been training? How long has Li Yuan been? Lude Nef and the others are optimistic about Li Yuan¡¯s future strength, that doesn¡¯t mean Li Yuan is strong now,¡± someone retorted.

    ¡°He¡¯s too young.¡±


    ¡°In my opinion, it would be good if Li Yuan could win four matches this time,¡± many veteran members in the spectator area were discussing with each other.


    By now, Li Yuan, Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, and the rest of their group had already taken seats in the third row of the spectator seats.


    Each seat was very spacious.


    All the newcomers sat in the lowest rows, so they could quickly join the battle.


    ¡°It sounds like all the veteran members are rooting for Bertman,¡± Yin He commented softly.


    ¡°Wait until our captain makes a move, then they¡¯ll naturally come to their senses,¡± Alicia whispered.


    She had her reasons for being optimistic about Li Yuan, beyond just trusting him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe and the others are up there; should we go to meet them?¡± Jin Huguo said in a low voice.


    ¡°No need, we¡¯ll talk after the battle,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Senior brother, calm your mind and prepare for battle.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan has arrived.¡±


    In the highest seats of the spectator platform, more than ten figures sat, their presence exceptionally strong. People like Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and An Yongya were among them.


    The ordinary veteran members below didn¡¯t dare to approach them.


    Because these ten-odd people were the most elite of the veteran students from Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe, do you think your little fellow townsman can make it through the sixth round? However, from the betting pool that An Yongya opened, it seems Bertman is listed as the favorite,¡± an astonishingly beautiful black-haired woman said curiously.


    She wore purple attire and radiated a heroic spirit.


    ¡°Pei Jun, just watch,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, do you also not trust a demigod¡¯s judgment?¡±


    Pei Jun was an incredible talent from Feixing, with Xia Country bloodlines.


    After Feixing¡¯s first major extinction caused by an invasion from a foreign civilization, many planets resettled a large number of their population on Feixing to replenish various regions.


    The majority of those who immigrated were from Xia Country.


    Now, the people of Feixing, descended from many planets and nations, were numerous; those with Xia Country lineages ranked among the top three.


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°The Mountain Lord has arrived,¡± Tavares commented as he looked toward the sky, where eight figures descended directly from high above to another side on the podium.


    All of them were Flying Heaven Warriors responsible for guarding the Martial Divine Star Realm¡ªeach at least at the peak of Flying Heaven.


    The one leading was Duanmu Hong, dressed in a white robe.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    Members of the Martial Divine Hall arrived one by one and took their places on the spectator seats, and they also noticed the arrival of the Duanmu Mountain Lord. No one dared to speak out loudly.


    Succeeding that, newcomers like Chu Chen and Nevsky arrived one after the other, and the number of people in the spectator seats had exceeded seven hundred. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Compared to the total number of Martial Divine Hall members, this number was remarkable.


    ¡°There are so many people! At last year¡¯s Battle of Seven Stars, less than a hundred veteran members came to watch,¡± the gentle and beautiful woman sitting next to Yan Jing surveyed the area and couldn¡¯t help but comment.


    ¡°The situation is different this year,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile.


    ¡°Looking at all the betting pools and discussions, everyone¡¯s listing Bertman as the favorite,¡± the gentle and beautiful woman whispered, ¡°Are you confident?¡±


    ¡°Just wait and see,¡± Yan Jing smiled, although he felt quite nervous inside.


    1,000 Seven Stars Points!


    If converted to Blue Star Coins, it would easily amount to over a hundred billion¡­ For Yan Jing, this was a massive fortune.


    ¡°Little brother, give it your all,¡± Yan Jing muttered to himself, ¡°I¡¯m counting on your victory to turn things around.¡±


    ¡°The Mountain Lord has flown out,¡± the gentle and beautiful woman suddenly said, ¡°The battle should be starting soon.¡±


    ¡­


    Hum~


    Duanmu Mountain Lord, dressed in a white robe, stepped off the podium, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.


    He stood in the void, overlooking the more than seven hundred people on the spectator seats, and suddenly, an invisible pressure spread out, enveloping the whole Seven Stars battlefield.


    The previously noisy Spectator Platform quickly fell silent.


    ¡°I won¡¯t reiterate the specific rules in detail,¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord said indifferently, his voice echoing throughout the battlefield, ¡°I only remind all participants of one thing: today, there are many demigods watching the battle through the virtual network.¡±


    ¡°Give it your all!¡±


    ¡°If you perform well, you might catch the attention of a demigod and then be taken as a direct disciple,¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord announced.


    This caused the eyes of the hundred or so newcomers to light up, including those of Chu Chen and Bertman, both Second Class inheritors of the Martial God.


    Demigod direct disciple?


    Having arrived at the Martial Divine Star Realm, they were naturally aware of what demigods represented¡ªthey were dominating figures of the Seven Star Civilization, with terrifying strength.


    Being accepted as a disciple of a demigod would greatly increase their chances of becoming peak Flying Heaven Warriors in the future.


    And there was even a chance to achieve demigod status.


    After all, the majority of disciples from the Martial Divine Hall would end their journey as ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors, with only a few reaching the peak of Flying Heaven.


    To become a peak Flying Heaven Warrior, one must refine True Intent of heaven and earth.


    ¡°Demigod¡¯s disciple?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, not too expectant inside.


    Even if a demigod wanted to take disciples, it still depended on whether he was willing.


    For Li Yuan, diligently cultivating and gaining control of the Hall of Inheritance of the Ancient Torch Divine was the brightest path.


    ¡°Three minutes later,¡±


    ¡°Following the pre-arranged order of battle, come onto the field in succession to participate,¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord overseeing everyone with a detached voice, ¡°Remember, the Battle of Seven Stars is also a life-or-death battle, so be very careful.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, even with numerous safety measures in place, there is still a chance of death.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s heart chilled.


    The death rate was repeatedly mentioned in the handbook. Even as the gathering place for the top talents of the Seven Star Civilization, with layers of protection, the rate of death was still alarmingly high.


    Every year, hundreds of new members are recruited, yet most talents spend over fifteen or even twenty years in the Martial Divine Hall before breaking through as Flying Heaven Warriors.

    But why does the Martial Divine Hall only have a thousand people all year round?


    They¡¯re all dead!


    Going out to fight and kill in wars claims lives, carrying out certain tasks claims lives, and even the seemingly safe ¡°The Battle of Seven Stars¡± can be lethal¡­ In the battle of the Fierce Feather Star Realm like this one, a super genius named ¡°Abbott¡±, at par with Wu Manong and others, fell.


    ¡­


    In the Seven Star Civilization, the virtual networks between the Seven Great Planets are not interconnected for ordinary people.


    Because once fully linked, the number of people accessing it would be too great, the cost too immense.


    In fact, the virtual network is capable of interconnecting different planets.


    But one would need Flying Heaven Level authorization to enter.


    At this moment, within a ¡°Spectator Space¡± on the Seven Stars virtual network that demands extremely high authorization levels.


    There are powerful existences, one by one, descending their consciousness.


    They are all here to observe the battle.


    The giant screen in the distance is displaying the scene from the ¡°Seven Stars Battlefield¡± of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    A black-clad figure appeared out of thin air.


    ¡°Fang Hai has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Old Fang.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai, come sit with me.¡± Those powerful existences who were sitting at the front and chatting with one another called out to Fang Hai one after another upon seeing him.


    Those who qualify to observe here are the highest echelons within the Seven Star Civilization, either Demigods or 36th-Level Star Masters.


    They are the ones who decide the direction of the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Everyone sitting at this particular part of the Spectator Space is a Demigod.


    From their address, it was obvious that Fang Hai¡¯s status was not any less noble than that of a Demigod.


    ¡°Flame City Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Qinghe Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Elder Bai Shan.¡± Fang Hai greeted each Demigod in turn, directly addressing some Demigods by name, while respectfully calling others as elders.


    Eventually, he sat down next to a purple-dressed woman wearing a black mask.


    The seats on either side of the purple-dressed woman were empty.


    ¡°San Ye.¡± Fang Hai rarely showed a trace of a smile.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± The black-masked woman¡¯s voice was gentle but she did not pay much attention to Fang Hai.


    San Ye Demigod.


    Strength-wise, she might not be one of the top amongst the many Demigods within the Seven Star Civilization, perhaps even considered somewhat average, but her identity was extremely special¡ªshe was a close follower of Dongfang Ji and the first Vice Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Most trusted by Dongfang Ji.


    This also made many Demigods in the Seven Star Civilization very respectful of her, not wanting to offend her.


    ¡°Why are you also here to watch the battle?¡± Fang Hai initiated the conversation.


    His gaze ostensibly fell on the screen ahead, but in reality, it never left San Ye.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you here as well?¡± San Ye Demigod¡¯s voice was soft, carrying a hint of aloofness. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I have two students participating this time, so naturally, I have to come watch.¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    ¡°There are more than thirty members from the Starfire Hall participating.¡± San Ye Demigod spoke indifferently, ¡°As the chief responsible officer of the Martial Hall, shouldn¡¯t I pay attention to it?¡±


    ¡°But you¡­¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch has appointed you as the Hall Master for Blue Star; you should take some responsibility, not leave it all to the Flying Heaven Warriors under you.¡± San Ye Demigod glanced at Fang Hai, then turned her eyes back to the distant screen.


    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Fang Hai nodded with a laugh.


    ¡°I heard you obtained the Visualization Method from a Divine Being?¡± San Ye Demigod suddenly spoke again, ¡°The Hierarch mentioned it to me yesterday.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I acquired it by chance.¡± Fang Hai nodded and added, ¡°If I have the opportunity, I will certainly help you get a Visualization Method.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    ¡°My chances of Becoming a Divine Being in this life are slim.¡± San Ye Demigod spoke lightly, ¡°You should focus more on yourself. The Hierarch has said that in the entire Civilization, you are likely the person with the highest hope of Becoming Divine. Don¡¯t let down the Hierarch¡¯s expectations.¡±


    ¡°Becoming a Divine Being?¡± A flash of light passed through Fang Hai¡¯s eyes.


    With his strength, becoming a Demigod would be a breeze; he could break through at any moment.


    But why was he still dragging his feet? Naturally, he had higher aspirations.


    ¡°Fang Hai Star Master.¡±


    A chubby old man sat down beside Fang Hai: ¡°I heard a formidable student has emerged from your sect.¡±


    ¡°Hun, you really have outdated news.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°Have you been in seclusion again recently?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just come out of seclusion.¡± The chubby old man said with a beaming smile, ¡°I heard that a formidable young chap has appeared in our Tianhai Star, so I specially came to see just how good he is.¡±


    ¡°That must be Bertman.¡±


    Another red-robed Demigod sitting not far away said with a smile, ¡°Hun Demigod, according to the reports, this Bertman should have a chance to ascend directly to Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Difficult, don¡¯t overestimate him.¡± The chubby old man laughed, but his face could not hide his smile.


    ¡°Old fat man, so you came to show off to me.¡± Fang Hai grumbled internally.


    He had no doubt about Hun Demigod¡¯s true purpose.


    For Star Master Demigods, facing ordinary Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors, they generally maintain their dignity and composure.


    But they are human too.


    In front of their peers, they tend to be much more unrestrained, with laughter, anger, and banter all being the norm.


    ¡°The first fight has begun.¡±


    San Ye Demigod suddenly pointed at the screen, ¡°Let¡¯s pay attention to The Battle of Seven Stars for now.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s started; it¡¯s a young guy who¡¯s just 20 years old.¡± Fang Hai and Hun Demigod stopped talking and focused on the screen.


    Just as Duanmu Mountain Lord had said.


    These Demigods have come to watch the battle; some are here for favored juniors, while others are indeed looking to choose outstanding disciples.


    However.


    Even if they are members of the Martial Divine Hall, if they are not outstanding enough, it would be extremely hard to catch a Demigod¡¯s eye.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside the Seven Stars Battlefield.


    According to the battle sequence, the new recruit ¡®Quiliya¡¯ had already leaped into the battlefield.


    Whether it was Duanmu Mountain Lord and his group of Flying Heaven Warriors or Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe, and others, all of them were earnestly watching the battle.


    Quiliya¡¯s first opponent was a figure encased in black armor, his face was indistinct, wielding a sword and shield, and the aura he emitted was rough and fearsome.


    The two figures stood nearly a kilometer apart, face to face, and then erupted into action simultaneously.

    ¡°`


    ¡°Boom!¡± Quiliya, wielding a great axe, moved swiftly, his whole body emitting waves of blue light as he transformed into a streak of light and shot out.


    He charged at the black figure.


    With each step, tens of thousands of pounds of force burst forth, causing the ground to tremble faintly.


    ¡°Boom! Boom!¡± The two figures had already engaged in battle, fighting fiercely.


    ¡­


    ¡°So weak, much weaker than I had anticipated.¡±


    Bores voiced his confusion, ¡°This Quiliya, his Physical Quality should only be around the 23rd level, right? How can he fight evenly matched?¡±


    ¡°Bores, you don¡¯t understand.¡± Dantai Feng glanced at him, ¡°In The Battle of Seven Stars, the difficulty of the first three rounds isn¡¯t fixed; it¡¯s determined according to the contenders¡¯ Physical Quality. Those with higher Physical Quality face stronger Gatekeepers, and the converse for those with lower¡­ It¡¯s also to give the newcomers some confidence.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, most newcomers, at the very least, can pass the first round. It¡¯s the third round that¡¯s much harder.¡±


    ¡°From the fourth round onwards, the Gatekeepers¡¯ strength becomes completely fixed¡­ only absolute power can break through¡­ From the fourth to the seventh round, the strength of the Gatekeepers consistently soars,¡± Dantai Feng stated seriously.


    Bores instantly fell silent.


    Alicia shook her head slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on her face.


    ¡°Quiliya is going to win,¡± Li Yuan suddenly spoke out, and everyone watched intently.


    Boom!


    Quiliya suddenly struck with his axe, and the black figure, caught off guard, was violently knocked back and sent flying.


    ¡°Quiliya, win!¡± a deep voice echoed over the battlefield.


    ¡°Won,¡± Quiliya said excitedly, swinging his arm forcefully.


    Quickly,


    the second round erupted, and this time the opponent was not humanoid, but a huge lizard-like ¡°black earth dragon.¡±


    It, too, was not a living thing, but its power was much stronger than the black Combat Armor figure of the first round.


    The first battle, Quiliya had won, but with great difficulty.


    In the second round, he lost decisively. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    One by one, the newcomers entered the battle, with most only winning the first round before losing the second.


    Even Jin Huguo and Nevsky fell in the second round.


    Only about one-third could win the second round, such as Yin Man and Kross.


    However,


    what truly surprised everyone was Alicia. She was the twenty-ninth contender, and initially, the people of Blue Star didn¡¯t rate her highly.


    After all, she hadn¡¯t made it into the top three of Blue Star¡¯s virtual battle a few months before, and in terms of age, she was about the same as Yin Man and Nevsky.


    With Nevsky losing the second round, how could she fare any better?


    Yet in reality, Alicia won! And she won the second round relatively easily!


    In the end, she lost to the third round¡¯s Gatekeeper.


    ¡°Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank?¡±


    ¡°Alicia¡¯s Swordsmanship is definitely of the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank level.¡±


    ¡°She has improved so quickly.¡± Jin Huguo, Yin Man, and Nevsky were all shocked.


    They felt the terror of Alicia¡¯s Swordsmanship.


    In the virtual battles, Alicia had barely made it into the top five and eventually ranked fifth.


    But now, if there was another round, with the level of Swordsmanship Alicia has now shown, probably even Harmon and Nevsky couldn¡¯t beat her, and she would definitely be able to challenge the top three.


    ¡°Captain, how did I do? I didn¡¯t embarrass you, did I?¡± Alicia said with a smile as she returned to the Spectator Space.


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Li Yuan responded with a smile, having already noticed her extraordinary talent.


    ¡­


    ¡°This young lady, not bad.¡±


    ¡°Only 21 years old, I¡¯ve looked at her profile, she¡¯s improved rapidly in the last year,¡± many Demigods and Star Masters discussed in the Spectator Space.


    With their strength, they could easily remember the profiles of hundreds of Martial Divine Hall newcomers.


    From the perspective of a Demigod, when they evaluate someone, it¡¯s never just about current strength, but an overall assessment.


    ¡°This Alicia, not bad,¡± San Ye Semi Divine suddenly said, ¡°Her Swordsmanship has likely stepped onto the path of ¡®Ice True Intent,¡¯ which fits well with my method.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Interested in her, are you?¡± Fang Hai teased with a chuckle.


    ¡°Let¡¯s observe a bit longer,¡± replied San Ye Semi Divine in a gentle voice.


    But Fang Hai clearly understood the disposition of San Ye Semi Divine; saying so meant that he liked her very much.


    Without hesitation, Fang Hai immediately sent a message to Duanmu Hong, ¡°Duanmu, San Ye Semi Divine is thinking of taking Alicia as a disciple. After The Battle of Seven Stars is over, you should talk to Alicia.¡±

    Chapter 433: Chapter 271: Level 10 Star Technique! The Strongest Burst! (Extra 10)


    In fact, more than one demigod harbored such suspicions, and the others were also confused.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t resemble a true congealment of True Intent. If it were Sixth Stage True Intent, he could fly directly into Seven Star Mountain without even fighting.¡±


    ¡°But the might of this Spear Technique, even without the outbreak of Star Technique, even if it¡¯s just an embryo of True Intent, shouldn¡¯t be this powerful,¡± many demigods discussed among themselves.


    Members of the Martial Divine Hall entering Seven Star Mountain normally do so by winning The Battle of Seven Stars.


    Another way is by congealing the True Intent of heaven and earth.


    Once a technique reaches the Sixth Stage, one can directly enter Seven Star Mountain.


    The insight of these demigods was exceptionally profound.


    Even though they were only watching the battle through a virtual network, unable to sense the fluctuations of the force of heaven and earth, they could see that Li Yuan¡¯s strength, his speed, were not on par with the Gatekeeper¡¯s. Yet, he had managed to defeat his opponent by relying on the suddenly surged might of his Spear Technique.


    It was simply inconceivable.


    You have to understand, the Gatekeeper of the sixth barrier was set with a Physical Quality of level 29.9, and a technique skill level of Fifth Stage Perfection¡­ Normally, a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist with Fifth Stage High Rank technique, employing a Star Technique, would have a fair chance of winning.


    Take Bertman, for example, slightly at a physical disadvantage, then overwhelming his opponent by fully unleashing his technique and Star Technique.


    What about Li Yuan?


    He clearly didn¡¯t employ any Star Technique.


    ¡°Three possibilities,¡± San Ye Demigod suddenly said with a smile, ¡°First, Li Yuan might have employed an extremely inconspicuous Star Technique, erupting from within, not evident on the surface.¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s possible.¡±


    ¡°Many Star Techniques are indeed very covert when they erupt.¡± Numerous demigods nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Secondly, his weapon might be very strong,¡± San Ye Demigod said with a smile, ¡°A weapon can indeed greatly increase the might of his attack.¡±


    ¡°A weapon?¡±


    ¡°It looks very ordinary.¡± S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Prime Warriors can at most use Third Rank weapons; could it possibly be a Semi Divine Artifact?¡± The many present demigods shook their heads, in their understanding, at least a Flying Heaven Warrior is required to use a Semi Divine Artifact.


    ¡°The last possibility.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has indeed condensed True Intent!¡± San Ye Demigod said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t fully erupted yet, just like from the very first match, he¡¯s been holding back, and then suddenly unleashed Spear Technique of Fifth Stage Perfection or even the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m more inclined towards this possibility,¡± San Ye Demigod said, ¡°His Spear Technique has at least begun to form the embryo of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°True Intent?¡±


    ¡°Has Li Yuan really condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s only 19 years old, right?¡±


    ¡°No, to be precise, he¡¯s still a month shy of 19.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe he could condense True Intent so quickly.¡± These demigods found it hard to believe San Ye Demigod¡¯s deduction.


    It was truly unbelievable.


    Condensing True Intent of heaven and earth at 50, or 60, didn¡¯t make much difference in the eyes of these demigods¡­ As one¡¯s cultivation progressed further, the difference age makes becomes smaller.


    But between 19 and 29, that difference is massive.


    At 19, it indicates insufficient experience, signifies that various aspects have not yet reached their peak, yet condensing True Intent of heaven and earth¡­ How terrifying could the future be? It was simply unimaginable.


    ¡°My fellow demigods need not ponder any longer,¡± San Ye Demigod said with a laugh, ¡°As none of us can take him as an apprentice anyway, let¡¯s just wait for the final battle, and see if Li Yuan can also ascend the mountain after one battle.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±


    ¡°If he truly has condensed True Intent of heaven and earth, it is a great boon for our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, we cannot take apprentices.¡± Many demigod Star Masters spoke, some demigods expressing considerable regret.


    ¡°Take an apprentice? His path follows the Earth Vein, what apprentice can you take!¡±


    ¡°With such an extraordinary talent, taking him as an apprentice would only do him harm.¡±


    ¡°A little guidance is sufficient; the path of the divine ultimately relies on oneself.¡±


    In the midst of the demigods¡¯ discussions and exchanges, they awaited the explosion of excitement for the seventh match with considerable anticipation.


    Can Li Yuan win?


    ¡­


    It wasn¡¯t just the demigod Star Masters who were shocked.


    In the Battle of Seven Stars arena, Duanmu Mountain Master and a group of Flying Heaven Warriors were equally astonished to see Li Yuan¡¯s explosive moment.


    ¡°How did he do it?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master asked, somewhat unable to understand.


    That group of Star Master demigods, because they were watching through the virtual network, could not sense the outburst of the forces of heaven and earth¡­ but Duanmu Mountain Master, being there in person, naturally sensed it very clearly.


    When Li Yuan executed ¡°Stars Return to Ruin,¡± that thrust bursting forth, indeed the might increased significantly¡­ but it didn¡¯t seem like the eruption of the True Intent of heaven and earth.


    Moreover.


    In his heart, Duanmu Mountain Master also did not believe that Li Yuan could have condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth so quickly.


    ¡°Is it the weapon? Or an extremely inconspicuous Star Technique?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master secretly speculated, ¡°However, based on the refinement of this single thrust, it is at least the embryo of True Intent.¡±


    To reach the embryo of True Intent before even 19 years old?


    Just the thought alone made Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s heart tremble, for this was an unprecedented event in the entire history of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even Fang Hai, reached the Top Grade Origin Martial Artist status and the limit of the Fifth Stage of technique only at the age of 20.


    That was the previous historical first.


    Li Yuan, at least in terms of the speed of technique advancement, has thoroughly surpassed Fang Hai of the past.


    ¡°The seventh match.¡±


    ¡°I wonder, does Li Yuan still have hidden strength?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master felt a bit of anticipation, ¡°If he really can win a battle and ascend¡­ that would truly be a miracle.¡±


    ¡­


    Watching Li Yuan¡¯s sudden burst of victory in the sixth match, the entire spectator stands were absolutely boiling over.


    ¡°He won.¡±


    ¡°He won the sixth match without using a Star Technique?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°How did he do it?¡± Those hundreds of veteran members were shaken to their core, gazing at Li Yuan, who stood waiting alone in the arena of the Battle of Seven Stars.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°He won so easily?¡±


    ¡°Has he condensed True Intent?¡± Tavares, An Yongya, and a group of top geniuses were equally dumbfounded.


    ¡°Haha, I told you, Li Yuan could definitely win the sixth match,¡± Yu Jinghe laughed heartily, ¡°Pei Jun, isn¡¯t what I said correct?¡±

    Chapter 434: Chapter 271: Level 10 Star Technique! The Strongest Burst! (Extra 10)_2


    ¡°Someone just said that Li Yuan had a chance to win the sixth match,¡± Pei Jun teased with a smile, ¡°but now it seems that Li Yuan can win the seventh match.¡±


    ¡°Just say if he won or not,¡± Yu Jinghe said with a smile on his face.


    He had always paid close attention to Li Yuan, his fellow villager.


    ¡­


    ¡°Haha, won!¡±


    Yan Jing, who had been quite frustrated before, suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly, ¡°What did I tell you, Li Yuan was sure to win? He won the sixth match so easily, and he hasn¡¯t even unleashed his Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°Once he unleashes his Star Technique, he¡¯s definitely going to win the seventh match,¡± Yan Jing¡¯s mood lifted from the previous frustration, and his gaze became firm again.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°The seventh match hasn¡¯t even started, don¡¯t pop the champagne at halftime,¡± the gentle and beautiful girl scoffed, ¡°Even if he ultimately wins, is it because your judgment is good? It¡¯s just your luck!¡±


    ¡°Even if he wins, you¡¯re absolutely not allowed to bet again next time,¡± the beautiful girl said sternly.


    ¡°Okay, okay, okay,¡± Yan Jing promptly agreed.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Bertman, who had already returned to the spectator¡¯s stand, murmured to himself, never taking his eyes off of Li Yuan.


    Just now, he had been the center of attention.


    Now? Although Li Yuan had just won the sixth match, the shock he brought to all the spectators was even greater than Bertman winning the seventh match.


    After all, Li Yuan was much younger than him.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique, really impressive!¡± Dantai Feng, Alicia, and Tian Dazhuang were both excited and astonished.


    Even Alicia had not expected Li Yuan to burst forth to such an extent.


    ¡°Freak!¡±


    ¡°Huge freak! He must have cultivated a very subdued Star Technique; I even suspect he has cultivated a Supreme auxiliary Star Technique.¡± Xiao Xing¡¯s voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°in just a few months¡¯ time, he went from Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank skills directly to the Fifth Stage Limit, really, I have no idea how he cultivated.¡±


    ¡­


    Soon, the whispers in the spectator¡¯s stand quieted down.


    The entire Star Realm battlefield fell silent, hushed, as all eyes of the spectators fixated on Li Yuan in the center of the battlefield.


    Because from the other end of the battlefield, a figure in black was emerging, exuding a robust aura, a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    The seventh match was about to erupt.


    At this moment, from the loftiest Demigods to the newest members of the Martial Divine Hall, everyone wanted to know.


    Could Li Yuan win the seventh match?


    If accomplished, it would mean that Li Yuan, not yet 19 years old, would complete the feat of ¡®conquering the mountain in one battle,¡¯ an unprecedented feat in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°He¡¯s coming?¡± Li Yuan watched the man in black slowly approaching from a distance, feeling quite expectant in his heart.


    Flying Heaven Warrior?


    The ordinary boy who had once practiced spearmanship diligently in the Martial Path classroom,


    could one day truly cross spears with a Flying Heaven Warrior?


    Finally, the man in black stopped walking; he held a Combat Saber and stared gravely at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°You should know the rules,¡± the man in black said in a deep voice, ¡°have you condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth? If you have, there¡¯s no need to fight this battle.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll concede.¡±


    The man in black had watched from a great distance as Li Yuan won the sixth match.


    Whether or not one has condensed True Intent signifies a fundamental transformation.


    ¡°I have not,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    If it were just a matter of skill level, his Spear Technique ¡®Stellar Oblivion¡¯ from just before, as opposed to Bertman¡¯s final Sword Technique outburst¡­ wasn¡¯t much stronger, in reality.


    But the Black Chen Spear in his hand was a Semi Divine Artifact.


    Once in motion, the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± as a supportive Supreme Star Technique, it¡¯s enough to cause the power of the heaven and earth I channel to surge¡­ creating that terrifying thrust just before.¡±


    ¡°Good, then I won¡¯t hold back, and you be careful,¡± the man in black said softly.


    Aside from not unleashing the Star Technique and not flying, the man in black had decided to go all out.


    Because Li Yuan had indeed made him feel a great threat.


    Boom!


    The man in black acted immediately. His speed surpassed the sound barrier in an instant as he lunged towards Li Yuan.


    The distance between them was about one kilometer.


    ¡°So fast,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed, ¡°In no more than two seconds, he will be upon me.¡±


    ¡°If I had only the strength from before, I would be undoubtedly defeated.¡±


    Purely in terms of physical quality, Li Yuan was still far from the Prime Warrior¡¯s limit, not to mention compared with a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    If he could refine the True Intent of Heaven and Earth, he could compensate for this gap, but with only the rudimentary form of True Intent?


    It wasn¡¯t enough!


    Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind as he directly activated the Fifth Layer Star Veins within his body.


    Rushing Origin Power flooded in.


    Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~Countless Life Stars suddenly lit up layer by layer, triggering a marvelous transformation in Li Yuan¡¯s muscles and flesh.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure swelled in an instant, growing from over one meter eighty to around three meters tall, his skin faintly radiating a layer of earthy yellow divine light that dazzled onlookers.


    A terrifying aura of life spread in all directions.


    ¡°This?¡± Before getting close, the man in black, flying mid-air, narrowed his eyes, ¡°Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong aura?¡±


    He sensed that Li Yuan¡¯s aura had suddenly exploded, as if he had become a gigantic beast.


    ¡°Could he have cultivated this Star Technique to the Second Order Limit? Level 6? Level 8 Star Technique?¡± Many thoughts flickered through the man in black¡¯s mind, ¡°Isn¡¯t he just 19 years old? How could he have had the time to cultivate such a powerful Star Technique?¡±


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the higher the demands on the Star Meridians.


    Awakening Star Meridians takes a lot of time¡­ Therefore, subconsciously, the man in black believed that Li Yuan¡¯s Star Technique was probably only at Third Layer or Fourth Layer Star Vein.


    ¡°What robust power!¡±


    ¡°The Second Order Limit of the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ is Level 10 Star Technique; the boost to my strength is too significant.¡± Even though it wasn¡¯t the first time Li Yuan had tested this, he was still somewhat excited when he erupted with full strength.


    The powerful Body Refining Divine Technique granted him a frightening amount of strength and speed!


    While it seems slow to describe, both the man in black¡¯s attack and Li Yuan¡¯s explosive unleashing of his Star Technique happened in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°Whosh!¡±


    Though shocked, the man in black didn¡¯t retreat an inch. Origin Power converged on the blade¡¯s edge, and a dazzling saber light had already torn through the Vast Sky, slashing at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s muscular hand gripped the long spear tightly. The Black Chen Spear had already reached five meters in length, moved by intent, and the combined force of Vigor and Origin Power erupted with terrifying power.


    Level 10 Star Technique, a Body Refining Divine Technique, provided a monstrous increase to physical strength, catapulting Li Yuan¡¯s power beyond the level of a Prime Warrior and up to the threshold of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    He thrust out with his spear!


    The tip of the spear harnessed the vast power of heaven and earth, executing the move ¡°Stars Return to Ruin.¡±


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s most potent outburst.


    Boom!


    It was as if a Fallen Star had collided massively, a visible shockwave of energy rushing outwards.


    The ground trembled fiercely where Li Yuan stood. Within a radius of more than ten meters, it collapsed layer upon layer. Li Yuan himself fell half a meter deep, yet from beginning to end, he hadn¡¯t retreated a single step.


    Pop!


    The man in black was sent flying backward, tumbling over a hundred meters before landing and taking a dozen more steps to finally come to a halt.


    ¡°Ah~ Poof!¡± The Flying Heaven Warrior could no longer withstand it, and a mouthful of fresh blood was violently spewed out.


    In that moment, from Demigod to the many members of the Martial Divine Hall, all were shocked at this scene.


    A direct confrontation, with just one exchange, and the Gatekeeper was injured?


    This indicated a staggering difference in strength in their head-on fight.


    ¡°I concede.¡±


    The Flying Heaven Warrior smiled wryly, ¡°If I don¡¯t use a Star Technique, even with my ability to fly, I likely can¡¯t prevail over you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, senior,¡± Li Yuan bowed in respect, his body quickly shrinking back to normal, deactivating the Star Technique.


    The consumption of Origin Power was exceptional when executing a Second Order Limit Body Refining Star Technique.


    ¡°The Seventh Battle, Li Yuan wins.¡±


    A resounding voice echoed throughout the Seven Star Battlefield, ¡°Congratulations to Li Yuan for ascending in a single battle, becoming a member of the Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°At the same time breaking the record of Seven Star Mountain, becoming its youngest ever member.¡±

    Chapter 435: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher


    ¡°The youngest record?¡± Li Yuan mused to himself, having not paid much attention to this particular record before.


    Within the vast Seven Stars battlefield.


    ¡°This year¡¯s ¡®The Battle of Seven Stars¡¯ newcomers¡¯ performances were outstanding,¡± the sonorous voice continued, ¡°especially Bertman and Li Yuan, who both accomplished the feat of climbing in one step, a first in the history of the newcomers¡¯ battles. Li Yuan has even broken the record¡­ I hope that all members of the Martial Divine Hall will learn from them.¡±


    ¡°Alright, this year¡¯s Battle of Seven Stars is now over!¡±


    ¡°I hope everyone will cultivate diligently in the coming year and live up to expectations.¡±


    Rumble~


    Not far from the spectator seats, a grand door slowly opened. Many members of the Martial Divine Hall, quite excitedly discussing among themselves, began making their way out of the Seven Stars battlefield.


    However, Li Yuan was the main subject of their discussions, with hardly anyone talking about Bertman.


    After all, although Bertman¡¯s ¡®one-step climb¡¯ was also dazzling, compared to his age of 26, there were many in the history of the Seven Star Civilization who could match him.


    To say nothing of the fact that Lude Nef was even younger when he became a member of the Seven Star Mountain.


    And for unparalleled geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Tavares, while amazed, they didn¡¯t think themselves any less capable than Bertman.


    Li Yuan was really different, the first in the true history of the entire civilization.


    19 years old!!


    And everyone could see that Li Yuan¡¯s victory in the seventh battle was overwhelmingly dominant; his strength was far above Bertman¡¯s. How could the two even compare?


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan waved his hand, drawing the Black Chen Spear into his Storage Treasure, ready to return to the spectator seats.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t go back just yet, stay outside the Seven Stars battlefield for a while,¡± a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards the chairman¡¯s stand, recognizing the voice of Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Duanmu Hong, dressed in white, slightly nodded to signal him.


    Li Yuan contemplated, ¡°It must be about joining the members of Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    Immediately, Li Yuan leaped out hundreds of meters, clearing the ten-meter-high spectator wall, and returned to the spectator seats.


    Dantai Feng, Alicia, and the others were all waiting there.


    ¡°Li Yuan, that last spear throw was so cool,¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°Winning seven battles in a row! At first, we were worried you couldn¡¯t win six, but you hid your strength so deeply¡­ and in the end, you even deployed a Star Technique, blowing away a Flying Heaven Warrior with one spear thrust.¡±


    Dantai Feng¡¯s expression was quite exaggerated, eliciting laughter from everyone around.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll soon truly rival a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Bores, with his head of golden hair, shook his head with a wry smile, ¡°It was reckless of me.¡± S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly, he looked towards Alicia, ¡°Alicia, I apologize for disturbing you before, I shouldn¡¯t have sent you so many messages.¡±


    ¡°No worries, I blocked messages a long time ago,¡± Alicia said indifferently.


    At this, the bystanders could no longer hold back their laughter, and Li Yuan also shook his head with a chuckle.


    But Bores didn¡¯t mind, as he¡¯s always been one to take things in stride.


    He knew that Li Yuan, so young and already scaling Seven Star Mountain, had a great chance of becoming a Demigod. Competing with him for Alicia? There was no hope at all.


    Moreover,


    Bores wasn¡¯t single-mindedly fond of Alicia; he simply felt she was suitable for him¡­ In the half-month since entering the Martial Divine Star Realm, he had already set his sights on many female members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    He wasn¡¯t necessarily fixated on winning over Alicia.


    ¡­¡±Li Yuan, congratulations.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, welcome to join us,¡± several voices rang out in succession. A group of people was walking down from their high seats in the spectator stands, approaching Li Yuan, each wearing a smile.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, Tavares, An Yongya,¡± Li Yuan greeted with a smile as he recognized the three.


    Though he only recognized these three.


    But the others who were able to stand alongside them must surely be the top-tier geniuses of Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Li Yuan, let me introduce you to everyone, this is¡­¡± Yu Jinghe began to introduce his companions.


    The top-tier geniuses greeted Li Yuan with a smile, all very polite.


    Li Yuan responded in kind, carefully noting each person¡¯s appearance and name.


    This scene made Jin Huguo, Yin Man, Nevsky, and the others sigh inwardly.


    Back on Blue Star, they were the proud children of heaven, the center of attention.


    After entering the Martial Divine Hall, every person here was a genius. Even Dantai Feng, with his high talent, was hardly remarkable¡­ Perhaps they would become strong in the future, but Li Yuan was already the center of attention.


    All were geniuses, indeed, but what if the top geniuses of an entire civilization were to gather?


    ¡­This scene made many of the older Martial Divine Hall members feel deeply moved: ¡°They are the top super-geniuses of Seven Star Mountain, all ranking within the top thirty, each one having comprehended True Intent. They are usually very proud, yet they are so polite to Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s different, most members of Seven Star Mountain, even if they have condensed True Intent, find it hard to catch up with them in strength, Li Yuan¡¯s strength is weaker than theirs for now, but how old is he? To catch up and even surpass them in the future is practically a certainty.¡±


    ¡°Look at Bertman, although he also climbed in one battle, Yu Jinghe and the others wouldn¡¯t go and greet him actively.¡±


    Many seasoned members of the Martial Divine Hall were well aware that even among the members of Seven Star Mountain, there were different levels.


    Those who haven¡¯t comprehended True Intent and those who have truly condensed True Intent are worlds apart.


    Only with condensed True Intent does one earn the credentials to enter the topmost circle of Seven Star Mountain.


    And now, the top-tier geniuses of this circle were already extending an early invitation to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Standing some distance away, Bertman frowned slightly as he watched the scene unfold.


    ¡­Minutes later, outside the Seven Stars battlefield.


    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Chapter 436: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_


    ¡°`


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s a deal. The day after tomorrow, once all your matters concerning joining Seven Star Mountain are settled, come to my palace residence,¡± Yu Jinghe said to Li Yuan with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll host the feast and invite everyone to participate, as a celebration for you joining Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Then I thank you, Big Brother Yu,¡± Li Yuan replied with a nod and a smile.


    Perhaps in the future, I might become a Demigod or even a Divine!


    However, a stout man needs three helpers; at the very least, for the current stage, making these good friends is beneficial.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Yu Jinghe, Tavares, An Yongya, and more than ten others no longer lingered, transforming into streaks of light as they flew away into the sky.


    They had come to watch the battle at Yu Jinghe¡¯s invitation, specifically to observe Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s astonishing performance did not disappoint them; in fact, it could even be said to have amazed them.


    ¡°Flying!¡±


    ¡°Free as the wind and fleeting as the earth, truly exhilarating. It¡¯s just a pity that we have to become Flying Heaven Warriors to fly.¡± This scene evoked envious glances from many members of the Martial Divine Hall who had not yet boarded the flying machine.


    Only the very top-tier genius Prime Warriors were marked by their ability to move through the sky and earth.


    ¡­


    Turning around, Li Yuan made arrangements to send Dantai Feng, Alicia, and the others off on the flying machine and arranged to meet the next day.


    At this time.


    Outside the massive metal construction, all had quieted down; the hundreds of Martial Divine Hall members who had come to watch the battle had all departed¡­ With the observation ended, they needed to resume their own cultivation.


    Especially Li Yuan¡¯s performance, which greatly inspired many of them.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A somewhat stiff voice spoke up as Bertman, dressed in a blue robe, approached.


    ¡°Bertman, congratulations,¡± Li Yuan said, revealing a slight smile. It was clear that Bertman had also been left behind via a voice transmission. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Don¡¯t congratulate me.¡± A strained smile appeared on Bertman¡¯s face. ¡°I barely managed to defeat that Flying Heaven Warrior. Compared to you, I¡¯m far behind, and I¡¯m already 26.¡±


    ¡°I watched your battle; your Sword Technique must be close to gathering True Intent,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Being able to gather True Intent before turning 30 is already very impressive. You might even gather the True Intent of heaven and earth before me.¡±


    Purely in terms of skill, the two were quite similar at the moment.


    ¡°I should just need another one or two years of Concealed Cultivation,¡± Bertman said with a hint of a smile.


    Bertman was quite confident in his Sword Technique.


    The two chatted.


    Gradually, Li Yuan realized that, while Bertman seemed aloof, he was actually not very articulate and seemed a bit introverted.


    However, since it was their first meeting, Li Yuan did not dare to determine whether the other party was pretending.


    You can know a person¡¯s face but not their heart.


    To truly understand a person¡¯s heart, it wasn¡¯t words that counted, but repeated direct cooperation.


    A few minutes later.


    Whoosh! A white streak of light flew out from the Seven Stars battlefield and landed directly in front of the two men.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°Mountain Lord,¡± Li Yuan and Bertman greeted with respect as Duanmu Hong arrived.


    ¡°You both performed very well,¡± Duanmu Hong said with a smile. ¡°Once you¡¯ve climbed the mountain, the logistics department will immediately prepare your palace halls on Seven Star Mountain. Within half a day at most, you¡¯ll receive authorization¡­ and then you¡¯ll be able to move in.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan and Bertman nodded in agreement.


    Having been in the Martial Divine Star Realm for half a month, they both understood very well that, apart from members of Seven Star Mountain¡­ other members of the Martial Divine Hall were not allowed to climb the mountain except under special circumstances.


    Some unauthorized flying machines, if they approached, risked being directly destroyed by some of the terrifying weapons hidden within Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Members of Seven Star Mountain, compared to elite and regular members, actually have four other benefits,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master, looking at the two. ¡°First is the annual increase in Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Second is the increase in privileges; you¡¯ll have the qualifications to browse and learn for free from most of the Star Techniques and Secret Manuals of the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°Third, you¡¯re eligible to take on Flying Heaven Level missions,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Flying Heaven Level missions? Li Yuan and Bertman both pondered this.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s for the resources required to cultivate powerful Star Techniques or for the exchange of formidable weapons and treasures, you¡¯ll need a large amount of Seven Stars Points,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master. ¡°But the Seven Stars Points distributed for free are limited¡­ The alliance has vast interests in various Second Level Star Realms and Third Level Star Realms and often needs powerful Prime Warriors to join in battle.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level missions offer extremely high rewards, but also come with a high risk¡­ and only Seven Star Mountain members can accept them,¡± continued the Mountain Lord.


    The two immediately understood.


    If they were not members of Seven Star Mountain, it meant they didn¡¯t have the required strength¡­ Thus, they would be ineligible to accept some of the alliance¡¯s highly rewarding missions.


    ¡°The last benefit is guidance from a Demigod,¡± said Duanmu Mountain Master. ¡°The alliance will dispatch a Demigod or some extremely powerful Flying Heaven Star Lord¡­ to provide guidance on your cultivation for two years.¡±


    Both Li Yuan and Bertman¡¯s eyes brightened.


    So, members of Seven Star Mountain still had such a privilege.


    ¡°This does not constitute an apprenticeship but is mere guidance. Do either of you have any requests? If not, the alliance will arrange a Demigod based on your weapon and True Intent Law tendencies,¡± said the Mountain Lord.


    The two fell into thought, and Duanmu Mountain Master did not urge them.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Mountain Lord, I have no objections,¡± Bertman shook his head. ¡°I just need a Water System Demigod to guide me.¡±


    ¡°And you, Li Yuan?¡± the Mountain Lord turned to Li Yuan. ¡°Shall the alliance randomly arrange an Earth System Demigod for you?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    Li Yuan hesitated slightly, saying, ¡°I hope the alliance can arrange for a Wind System Demigod to guide my cultivation.¡±


    ¡°A Wind System Demigod?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master frowned.


    Having a Demigod personally guide someone was an incredibly rare opportunity. Yet, rather than focusing on a single path¡­


    He actually wanted a Wind System Demigod for guidance?


    Even Bertman looked towards Li Yuan in surprise; he had just witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s battle¡­ The man was clearly of the Earth Vein

 Chapter 437: 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_3

    Chapter 437: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_3


    ¡°Do you not realize¡­¡± Duanmu Mountain Master was just about to rebuke when he suddenly recalled Fang Hai¡¯s parting words and forcefully stopped himself.


    ¡°Are you certain?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s tone shifted abruptly.


    He looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Although your talent is high, you have yet to truly condense your True Intent¡­ Are you considering diverting your attention to the Wind Vein at this point? And you haven¡¯t truly entered the threshold of the Wind Vein yet, have you?¡±


    ¡°Not yet.¡±


    ¡°But the junior wants to try.¡± Li Yuan responded earnestly, of course, he could deduce the intention behind Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s words.


    The Law of the Great Dao is extremely challenging.


    Even for Flying Heaven Warriors, condensing True Intent is difficult; let alone truly stepping into the threshold of the Law¡­ Focusing solely on one path might still not guarantee becoming a Demigod.


    The hope of becoming a Demigod becomes even more distant once distracted.


    However, Li Yuan had his own considerations; he had once resonated with divine consciousness and was very clear about how terrifyingly powerful the combination of different Laws¡¯ mysteries could be¡­ And these past few days, he had also been practicing with his spear, attempting to trigger the Wind Fluctuations.


    The Wind Fluctuations of heaven and earth! Although Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension was slow, it still brought him considerable joy.


    Li Yuan liked this path very much.


    The most important point, in Li Yuan¡¯s view, was that with the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and the ¡°Map of Myriad Stars¡± as a guide¡ª even if another Earth System Semi Divine were to provide guidance, his cultivation efficiency might not improve by much.


    However.


    If a Wind System Semi Divine were to provide targeted guidance for his cultivation of the Wind Vein, the significance would be completely different.


    Although Duanmu Mountain Master was displeased inwardly, seeing Li Yuan¡¯s firm stance, he refrained from further persuasion, ¡°Fine, I will submit your request¡­ But there are not many Wind System Semi Divines in the alliance, and there may not be anyone willing to mentor you. You should prepare yourself mentally.¡±


    ¡°After all, the alliance can¡¯t force a Semi Divine to provide guidance.¡±


    ¡°The Semi Divines themselves also choose whom they want to guide among the Seven Star Mountain members,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master added.


    ¡°The junior understands.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Good teachers prefer intelligent students¡­ and since he had yet to reveal his talent in the Wind Vein, those Wind System Semi Divines might not be willing to waste time on him.


    ¡°Alright, you can go back now and wait for the notification,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master instructed.


    ¡­


    He watched as Li Yuan and Bertman left on their respective flying machines.


    ¡°The Wind Vein?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master frowned. ¡°This Li Yuan is truly acting recklessly. No matter how exceptional he may be, he should not waste his talent like this.¡±


    ¡°Let those above worry about it.¡±


    Duanmu Mountain Master immediately began to send a transmission.


    ¡­


    In the special Spectator Space of the virtual network, many of the watching Semi Divines were gradually leaving.


    Li Yuan¡¯s performance had indeed caused them to marvel, but nothing more than that.


    As the pinnacle existences within their civilization, Semi Divines are also extremely proud beings.


    From Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven Warrior, to Semi Divine¡­ Li Yuan has a long way to go to reach their level.


    Yet Fang Hai, the San Ye Semi Divine, was still waiting here, seemingly awaiting news.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°There¡¯s news,¡± the San Ye Semi Divine spoke up, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes, ¡°Li Yuan is seeking guidance from a Wind System Semi Divine.¡±


    ¡°A Wind System Semi Divine?¡± Fang Hai was equally astonished.


    ¡°This young fellow is somewhat capricious.¡± San Ye Semi Divine shook her head, ¡°Although some Flying Heaven Warriors and Semi Divines venture to explore a second path, most only choose to do so when they cannot progress any further on their primary path due to reaching a bottleneck¡­ He¡¯s already started to condense the embryo of his Stellar True Intent on the Earth Vein, so how high is his talent there? And yet he wishes to be distracted by comprehending the Wind Vein?¡±


    ¡°As his principal, shouldn¡¯t you persuade him?¡± San Ye Semi Divine looked towards Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai also furrowed his brows; he didn¡¯t understand Li Yuan¡¯s decision either.


    However.


    Fang Hai and San Ye Semi Divine, as well as Duanmu Hong, had different understandings¡­ He was well aware of how terrifying Li Yuan¡¯s Star Meridian talent was.


    Knowing different pieces of information naturally led to seeing things differently.


    ¡°No need,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°But don¡¯t rush to invite those Wind System Semi Divines¡­ those few will certainly not be willing to guide him.¡±


    Fang Hai knew very well.


    Semi Divines are proud.


    They might recognize Li Yuan¡¯s talent in the Earth Vein, but that doesn¡¯t mean they acknowledge his talent in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°First, report to the Master,¡± Fang Hai said gravely, ¡°and see what the Master thinks.¡±


    ¡°Report such a trivial matter to the Alliance Hierarch?¡± San Ye Semi Divine was surprised.


    ¡°As long as it concerns Li Yuan, you report it,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°The Master will definitely not blame you.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± San Ye Semi Divine frowned, suddenly recalling the command issued by Dongfang Ji last time. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Combining that with what Fang Hai just said.


    San Ye Semi Divine realized¡­ there might be significant secrets about Li Yuan that she was unaware of.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be going now.¡± San Ye Semi Divine stood up, and her figure thunderously vanished.


    The immense Battle Observation Hall.


    Only Fang Hai remained seated alone.


    ¡°San Ye teacher,¡± Fang Hai sighed inwardly.


    Once upon a time, he too had climbed the Seven Star Mountain and received guidance from a Semi Divine.


    And the Semi Divine who guided him was none other than San Ye Semi Divine.


    ¡°Just wait,¡±


    ¡°San Ye teacher,¡± Fang Hai showed a hint of a smile, ¡°you reject me now, feeling that we differ in generations and there is still a gap in strength¡­ But once I become a Demigod, surely no one will question it anymore.¡±


    A Demigod boasts a lifespan of a thousand years, with everlasting youth.


    As Fang Hai knew, among the many Foreign Civilizations, Semi Divines not only pair up despite an age gap of less than a hundred years but even couples with two hundred, three hundred years difference¡­ are not uncommon.


    ¡­


    Within the highest headquarters of Starfire Martial Hall, in a conference room.


    A woman in white, wearing a black mask, stepped out of the highest-level virtual pod.


    Through the mask, only her eyes could be seen, cold as ice.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± San Ye Semi Divine suddenly looked down at her smart ring, a flash of shock passing through her eyes, which displayed a single message: ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±

 Chapter 438: 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_4

    Chapter 438: Chapter 272 Choices of the Demigod Teacher_4


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, have you already responded to me so quickly, and you agreed?¡± San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s heart stirred with towering waves.


    Just now, she reported to Dongfang Ji at the first opportunity, her heart still quite uneasy.


    According to San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s understanding,


    this kind of thing, Dongfang Ji would almost certainly not agree¡­ but she could have never imagined!


    ¡°Li Yuan, does he really hold such weight in the heart of the Alliance Hierarch?¡± San Ye Semi Divine secretly marveled, ¡°What exactly makes him so special?¡±


    Is it simply because of his high martial arts talent?


    It doesn¡¯t seem like it!


    Martial arts talent alone, if high now, doesn¡¯t ensure one can smoothly become a Semi Divine or reach even higher levels¡­ The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties, and countless peerless talents are trapped at bottlenecks.


    ¡°But the Alliance Hierarch actually supports Li Yuan¡¯s decision?¡± San Ye Semi Divine mused to herself.


    She was very clear about the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s terrifying strength, which was absolutely beyond all Semi Divines.


    Even the second-strongest of the Seven Star Civilization, ¡®Lant Semi Divine¡¯, was far behind the Alliance Hierarch, and the gap was growing larger and larger.


    San Ye Semi Divine could not forget.


    Decades ago, that large group of Semi Divines from Myriad Demons Civilization trying to invade Feixing¡­ After that battle, Myriad Demons Civilization fell completely silent, never stirring up a large-scale war again.


    It was not that Myriad Demons Civilization had given up.


    It was that they were cowed by the killing, creating more and more Semi Divines, as if they weren¡¯t enough for Dongfang Ji¡¯s slaughter.


    Thus was forged the name of an invincible Semi Divine.


    ¡°It seems,¡±


    ¡°from now on, I must be more cautious in dealing with Li Yuan,¡± San Ye Semi Divine sighed silently.


    ¡­


    On the afternoon of the day that The Battle of Seven Stars ended, Li Yuan had already received a notice to move into Seven Star Mountain.


    He relocated directly.


    The villas on Seven Star Mountain, while not fundamentally different from those on the ground, were more immense¡­ and they came with more advanced sparring robots, as well as a richer array of free resources.


    The next day,


    Li Yuan hosted a banquet for Dantai Feng, Alicia, and a number of other friends, as a celebration of his ascent to Seven Star Mountain¡­ There were dedicated dining venues within the Martial Divine Star Realm, offering exquisite dishes, all of the highest quality.


    However, the prices were also staggeringly high, a single meal costing tens of millions of Blue Star Coins being quite normal, but it was not much for members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    On the third day, Li Yuan attended a larger banquet hosted by Yu Jinghe.


    It also let Li Yuan meet many more top talents of Seven Star Mountain, truly integrating him into this circle.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and after two banquets, Li Yuan truly began his cultivation journey on Seven Star Mountain.


    In reality, it was no different from his Concealed Cultivation on the ground.


    No matter how good the external environment, the process of cultivation is the same¡­ one must strive step by step.


    And the advancement of skills, that required endless self-reflection and effort.


    However,


    Duanmu Mountain Master had not yet notified him of the ¡®Semi Divine master¡¯, and Li Yuan was not in a rush.


    Without instruction from a Wind System Semi Divine for his Wind Vein¡­ it made little difference if only an Earth System Semi Divine came.


    ¡­


    July 25th.


    Feixing, Prajna Sea.


    This was an extremely mysterious region of Feixing, vast and expansive, but with perpetual gale-force winds of up to category twelve, the natural environment was tremendously harsh, thus almost no one set foot there.


    In the deep sea, where the gales howled, there lay an island just a few kilometers in circumference, craggy with rocks, bereft of virtually any vegetation.


    At the peak of this small island, Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    a figure dressed in simple hemp clothes sat cross-legged on a giant stone, facing the howling wind and crashing waves, eyes shut. His facial features were cut sharp and clear, as if he were a special kind of sculpture, perfectly merging with the natural world.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Lie Feng,¡± a deep voice seemed to come from the void, imbued with a powerful will.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The middle-aged man in hemp clothes slowly opened his eyes, first in confusion, ¡°Dongfang?¡±


    ¡°You, have you already condensed the will of the Law?¡± The man in hemp clothes showed a flash of shock in his eyes.

 Chapter 439: 273: The Oldest Demigod

    Chapter 439: Chapter 273: The Oldest Demigod


    ¡°Law Will? Is achieving this step very difficult?¡± A deep voice echoed amid the howling winds and raging waves.


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man was at a loss for words.


    But when he thought of the other party¡¯s terrifying battle record, he came to terms with it.


    For other demigods, reaching this step is indeed difficult, almost impossible in some sense.


    But the other party is Dongfang Ji, then anything is possible.


    ¡°Given your personality, to reveal a bit and hide three, if you dare to openly converge Law Will in front of me, I can no longer gauge your true strength,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said with a slight shake of his head, ¡°If one day you suddenly appear in front of me, already having formed a Divine Shadow, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised.¡±


    ¡°To become a divine being has no meaning for me,¡± the deep voice said indifferently.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man nodded lightly, ¡°With your peerless talent, your ultimate goal must be to break through the Ninth Mountain world. Among the many demigods I know of in various civilizations, if anyone has hope, it¡¯s probably only you.¡±


    ¡°Speak, Dongfang, you haven¡¯t sought me out in decades, what brings you here?¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said slowly.


    ¡°Help me guide a junior,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°A Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Prime Warrior?¡± The burlap-clad middle-aged man was startled for a moment, then nodded, ¡°No problem. How far has he comprehended the Wind Vein? Has he formed any semblance of True Intent?¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t truly started yet,¡± the deep voice said indifferently.


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man was taken aback.


    Soon, the deep voice had outlined the general situation of Li Yuan to the burlap-clad middle-aged man.


    ¡°19 years old, and already has a semblance of True Intent?¡± The burlap-clad middle-aged man¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, ¡°This young lad¡¯s talent in the Earth Vein is absolutely extremely high. With your help, perhaps in a few decades, the Seven Star Civilization will once again give birth to a powerful demigod¡­ Why would you think of letting him comprehend the Wind Vein?¡±


    ¡°He has the talent for it,¡± the deep voice said slowly, ¡°And with enough time, naturally, he should be allowed to attempt it.¡±


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man shook his head; he couldn¡¯t comprehend the other¡¯s reasoning.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Earth, wind.¡± An idea flashed across the burlap-clad middle-aged man¡¯s mind as if realizing something, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You want him to take that path?¡±


    ¡°What path?¡± the deep voice was very calm.


    ¡°Dongfang, there¡¯s no need to play dumb with me, I¡¯ve also entered that domain,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said, shaking his head, ¡°Your ambition is too great, even now you wish for this junior¡­ If he takes a wrong step, his future could be completely destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Success comes with failure, hope comes with destruction,¡± the deep voice said indifferently, ¡°Without sacrifice, how can there be great achievement?¡±


    The burlap-clad middle-aged man said no more.


    ¡°I owe you my life, which I cling to this day, so teaching him is not a problem,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said softly, ¡°But I only promise to teach for half a year. If his talent in the Wind Vein is too poor¡­ it¡¯s not worth my time to waste.¡±


    ¡°If his talent is decent, I will do my best to teach him,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I still trust the character of Lie Feng,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°Will you go to see him, or shall I have him come to you?¡±


    ¡°I shall go see him,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man said.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Hum~


    The terrifying will that had enveloped the sea area had suddenly dissipated, leaving only the burlap-clad middle-aged man sitting alone.


    ¡°Law Will?¡±


    ¡°To become a demigod in just over a hundred years and to have reached this step,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man sighed internally, recalling when they first met.


    At that time, the strength of both parties was not much different, or it could be said that the burlap-clad middle-aged man was slightly stronger.


    But to this day, their realms are worlds apart.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°I hope his talent isn¡¯t too weak, teaching him for a while would be enough to fulfill a promise to Dongfang.¡±


    ¡°If his talent is too weak, just make do for half a year,¡± the burlap-clad middle-aged man didn¡¯t really care about Li Yuan.


    People¡¯s talents tend to be limited, in his view, Li Yuan¡¯s talent in the Earth Vein is already extremely high. The talent for the Wind Vein? Inevitably, it won¡¯t be as high.


    If it were any other Wind System Semi Divine, out of friendliness and investment in the future, perhaps someone would be willing to teach.


    But the burlap-clad middle-aged man did not care about these things because he was close to death.


    What would a dying man, with no younger generations to care for, bother about these things for?


    ¡­


    Martial Divine Star Realm.


    The clouds and mist around Seven Star Mountain were swirling.


    On the mountainside of one of the peaks, in the open square in front of a villa mansion, a flying machine hovered.


    Dressed in black, Li Yuan was sitting quietly at the very front of the square, with thousands of meters of void not far from him.


    Li Yuan, facing the breeze, overlooked the vast expanse beneath him.


    ¡°The Earth Vein seems to be lively,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power could vaguely sense that in every palace on the peaks, there were inhabitants.


    The entire Seven Star Mountain is divided into seven peaks.


    Not by the ownership of the Seven Great Planets¡­ but rather by attribute.


    Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder¡­ distributed according to the cultivation of the seven veins, these are the seven main types of Origin Power most commonly seen in the world.


    This arrangement is mainly to facilitate the exchange among members of the Seven Star Mountain who cultivate the same vein and also makes teaching easier.


    But since entering Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan quickly found that the members of the Seven Star Mountain on the seven peaks who contemplate the Wind and Thunder veins are very few.


    Single digits.


    ¡°The rumors from before are indeed true; most of the strong in my Seven Star Civilization contemplate the Five Elements,¡± he thought.


    ¡°So far, the Seven Star Civilization has created seven high-rank Cultivation Methods; two for cultivating Earth Origin Power, two for Water Origin Power, and one each for Fire, Metal, and Wood Origin Power,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°There aren¡¯t specific Cultivation Techniques for the Wind and Thunder veins.¡±


    Which is to say.


    In the Seven Star Civilization, those warriors belonging to these two veins¡­ almost all rely on their own Law Creation to become Flying Heaven Warriors, demigods, hence their number is naturally much fewer.


    Li Yuan believed that many people¡¯s talents within the civilization were buried.


    Of course, there¡¯s a very small number of powerful warriors who, although initially cultivated Origin Power of the Five Elements¡­ gradually feel during long-term cultivation that they are more suited to contemplate the Mysteries of Wind and Thunder, and would then shift their direction of cultivation.


    But such strong men are rare; most warriors would still try to comprehend the True Intent mysteries corresponding to the attribute of the Origin Power they¡¯ve cultivated.


    After all, if the Origin Power cultivated falls within a certain vein, the compatibility with that vein tends to also be higher.


    ¡°According to Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s implication,¡±


    ¡°In the entire civilization, there seem to be only two or three Wind System demigods,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°They might not necessarily be willing to guide me¡­ I¡¯ll leave it to fate.¡±


    ¡°I made a connection through consciousness resonance with the Divine, and by following the Divine Spear Technique¡¯s guidance, I was able to cultivate the Wind Vein as well.¡±


    ¡°Try it out for a while first.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s still not much of a clue, then put it aside for the time being.¡± Li Yuan was not in a hurry.


    Since inheriting from the Ancient Torch Divine in the Hall of Inheritance, his cultivation pursued the path of following his heart¡¯s desires.


    The vast and profound weight of the earth, its inclusiveness of all things, brought him joy.


    The unpredictable agility of the wind brought him joy as well.


    ¡°What brings joy to my heart and strengthens the prowess of my spear technique is the path I should follow.¡± Li Yuan adhered to this principle in his heart.


    Just like these past days, he was not keen on spending much time in the Martial Arts Room but preferred the outdoors instead.


    Sitting at the edge of the square, he faced the roaring wind. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Often, he would sit there for most of the day.


    ¡°No wonder Dean Hai enjoys fishing.¡± A smile appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s face as he recalled his conversation with Dean Hai.


    Dean Hai had said that fishing was a form of cultivation and that one would naturally understand and realize its essence once they reached that level.


    Back then, Li Yuan did not understand.


    But now? Li Yuan understood.


    ¡°All the mysteries of heaven and earth are hidden in life, hidden between heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Comprehending the mysteries of nature from its operations¡­ far surpasses pondering in seclusion.¡±


    Ordinary martial artists, they immerse themselves in arduous practice, because their realm is still at the level of ¡®technique¡¯.¡±


    But once they stepped into the Fifth Stage, body and mind, from the inside out, are close to the way of ¡®path¡¯.¡±


    The embryonic form of True Intent is the threshold to entering the path.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm? Group message?¡± Li Yuan felt his smart wristband vibrate and couldn¡¯t help but look down.


    It was a ¡®V group¡¯ message from the members of the Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level Task: Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s recruitment, the specifics are¡­¡±


    Li Yuan quickly glanced at it. It was a war task from the Mingxu Star Realm, where the Seven Star Civilization was at war with the Tianliang Civilization, needing Flying Heaven-level warriors to provide support, divided into defense tasks and attack tasks.


    Requirements: Members of the Seven Star Mountain can accept defense tasks, but only the top thirty members of the Seven Star Mountain may accept attack tasks.


    ¡°Top 30? Does this mean that only those who have comprehended the True Intent are qualified to take up the task?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    On the entire Seven Star Mountain, there were about thirty top geniuses who had condensed True Intent.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan glanced at his own ranking on the Seven Star Mountain: 118th.


    Second to last.


    Only one spot higher than Bertman.


    The Seven Star Mountain ranking was sorted based on true strength and points earned from completed tasks.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered slightly as he saw a private message sent to him by Yu Jinghe. He thought to himself, ¡°Big Brother Yu has taken up this attack task and is preparing to return to Xia Country?¡±


    ¡°Stay safe,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    Li Yuan had his own conjectures.


    The war between the Mingxu Star Realm and the Tianliang Clan was mainly driven by Blue Star, or to be more precise, by Xia Country.


    Now, the posting of this war task on the Seven Star Mountain hopes to bring participation from the top geniuses of the entire civilization for assistance.


    Most likely, they were encountering significant difficulties.


    Many war tasks, unless like in the case of the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯s World within Worlds that involves a Divine Being Inheritance¡­ the alliance¡¯s highest echelons would not mandate top geniuses under their command to participate in war.


    These life-and-death tasks are mostly left to the geniuses to choose for themselves.


    But the fact that Yu Jinghe decided so quickly to go must mean that Xia Country had made a request¡­ Just like in the many great battles of the Rob Sea, Yu Jinghe¡¯s figure was present.


    ¡°My Xia Country has many geniuses in the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But there are only two who have comprehended True Intent.¡±


    One was Yu Jinghe!


    The other was named ¡®Luo Chan¡¯, whom Li Yuan had never met.


    As for top geniuses like Pei Jun who had Xia Country bloodlines, there were also some on the Seven Star Mountain, but they were born on Feixing and had very little sense of belonging to Xia Country.


    ¡°Once I comprehend True Intent and elevate my Physical Quality to the limit of a Prime Warrior, if there is a suitable opportunity, I can also take part in the battle,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Straight away, Li Yuan stopped dwelling on it.


    With his current strength, he wasn¡¯t yet qualified to take part in such large-scale wars.


    To rush into it carelessly would make it easy to die in battle.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    As night slowly set in, Li Yuan was still sitting in the square, letting the wind blow over him, silently sensing the fluctuations of the wind between heaven and earth.


    Suddenly¡ª


    A figure in white approached silently, and when it was within a hundred meters, Li Yuan immediately sensed the presence and opened his eyes.


    An invisible pressure enveloped heaven and earth.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully as the visitor was none other than the Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Whoosh!


    Duanmu Mountain Master approached, smiling. ¡°You have such a keen perception. Your spiritual power must be approaching the peak of Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°There is still much lacking, I¡¯m nowhere near the Mountain Lord,¡± Li Yuan replied with great respect.


    These past days, Li Yuan had come to understand Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s strength. Perhaps he was not like Dean Fang Hai, but within the whole Seven Star Civilization, he was also amongst the most elite right below the demigods.


    Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to guard the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be modest,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile. ¡°I have come to notify you that your Wind System Semi Divine teacher has arrived. He is currently waiting for you outside the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, and he couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Mountain Lord, which Semi Divine is it? The Snow Dragon Semi Divine? Or the Wind Fox Semi Divine?¡±


    These were the two Wind System Semi Divines Li Yuan knew of.


    ¡°Neither.¡±


    ¡°It is an Alien Race Semi Divine,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master shook his head. ¡°To be precise, he¡¯s one of the ¡®honorary Semi Divines¡¯ of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°He is also one of the oldest Semi Divines living within our Seven Star Civilization, not far from his end.¡±

 Chapter 440: 274 Lie Feng Preaches (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

    Chapter 440: Chapter 274 Lie Feng Preaches (Seeking Monthly Tickets)


    ¡°A guest demigod? An alien race demigod?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    There¡¯s such a thing within the Seven Star Civilization?


    ¡°Mountain Lord, why didn¡¯t I find any information about this in the database?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°There¡¯s not a single piece of news.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised.¡±


    ¡°When it involves demigods, much of the information is secret. Once you become a Star Master, you¡¯ll naturally come to know the many secrets of our entire civilization,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s more than one alien race guest demigod in our Seven Star Civilization, but this Lie Feng Semi Divine is the oldest¡­ In fact, I had only heard about him from other demigods before and have never seen him. It¡¯s all very mysterious.¡±


    ¡°More than one guest demigod? Do they all live on Feixing?¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master nodded.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid something will go wrong?¡± Li Yuan was confused, for in his understanding, demigods were already at the pinnacle of force in the entire civilization.


    Keeping these aliens within the clan, how dangerous is that?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with the Alliance Hierarch around, they can¡¯t turn the heavens upside down,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a laugh. ¡°Moreover, these guest demigods¡­ either are demigods born in the Star Realm or are those who fled here after their entire civilization was destroyed. They generally don¡¯t have conflicts of interest with our civilization.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Without the entanglement of a race or civilization, potential conflicts would indeed be much smaller.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk while we walk,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master waved his hand, and an invisible force enveloped Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards the higher atmosphere of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡­


    ¡°Mountain Lord, there won¡¯t be any danger, will there?¡± Li Yuan was still quite wary of the alien race demigods.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    Duanmu Mountain Master glanced at Li Yuan, noticing his concern: ¡°Normally, this Lie Feng Semi Divine wouldn¡¯t come to instruct you. His strength is terrifying¡­ it was the Alliance Hierarch who invited him.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch?¡± Li Yuan was secretly alarmed, the senior Dongfang Ji?


    His worries dissipated somewhat, as he still had quite a bit of trust in Dongfang Ji.


    Even though the two had not yet met.


    ¡­


    After flying for a long time, Duanmu Mountain Master carried Li Yuan across more than two hundred kilometers in the high sky, having passed many peripheral structures like the Battle of Seven Stars.


    Finally, they arrived at a high mountain that rose from the wilderness, reaching over a kilometer in height.


    The mountainside was lush and verdant with trees undulating in waves.


    At the peak of the mountain was a giant plateau, as if cleaved by a combat saber, unobstructed, with many aircraft parked on it.


    Large buildings were constructed on either side of the plateau.


    And at the center, there was even a lake.


    But what really captured Li Yuan¡¯s attention was the enormous star portal at the top of the mountain, hundreds of meters long, as if leading to another world, its surface subtly rippling.


    One could faintly glimpse the scene on the other side.


    Such a large Star Realm entrance.


    No wonder the principal directly flew the aircraft into the Martial Divine Star Realm last time.


    ¡°This is the entrance and exit to the Martial Divine Star Realm. You will be following Lie Feng Semi Divine for training, and it¡¯s estimated you¡¯ll often go out for training,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master instructed. ¡°I¡¯ve given you access, you can use the flying vehicles for daily travel.¡±


    Li Yuan listened carefully.


    ¡°But remember, when traveling on Feixing, try not to reveal your identity,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    In the Martial Divine Hall members¡¯ manual, it is clearly stated that unless one condenses True Intent, it is not allowed to go out during the first year¡­ Even for older members, at least they have to get through the fourth match of the Battle of Seven Stars before they can go out.


    Those who can win the fourth match often have strength that is considered powerful even among the top-grade Origin Martial Artists.


    With such strength, one is deemed to have the ability to protect oneself.


    Otherwise, once one¡¯s whereabouts or news leaked, any member of the Martial Divine Hall would be a worthy target for assassination by a Foreign Civilization.


    Whoo! Whoo!


    Duanmu Mountain Master flew into the giant star portal with Li Yuan¡­ Hiss~ Accompanied by a slight feeling of discomfort, it felt like water sliding over the body.


    They traveled in a stream of light for quite a while.


    This feeling was very strange. In the past, when Li Yuan traversed the Star Realms, he mostly sat on trains¡­ and when traversing star portals between planets, the pressure was much less.


    Whoosh~


    The two finally arrived at the other end.


    This was an immensely large warbase. They were now at a broad internal airfield with numerous flying vehicles hovering¡­ with a huge ring-shaped passage overhead that could be sealed at any time.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Lie Feng Semi Divine is waiting outside the base,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master took Li Yuan.


    Under the watchful eyes of many officers and martial artists, they soared into the sky and passed through the passageway to the outside of the vast warbase.


    Looking out, the vast land stretched to the horizon.


    Shortly thereafter, the two arrived at a small hill about ten kilometers from the base.


    There was a cool pavilion on the hilltop, and the two slowly descended.


    ¡°Li Yuan, go ahead, Lie Feng Semi Divine is over there,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master pointed to the distance and said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards the pavilion a hundred meters away where a middle-aged man in hemp clothing was sitting.


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan deployed the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    ¡°[Target creature, Life Level exceeds the limit of inquiry, killing may obtain Spiritual Nature nourishment],¡± Li Yuan looked at the inquiry result and felt a jolt in his heart.


    Indeed, an alien race demigod!


    But Li Yuan also understood in his heart.


    The fact that Dongfang Ji, the senior, specially invited this person over instead of seeking one of the other Wind System Semi Divines within the Alliance¡­ clearly demonstrated the individual¡¯s strength.


    Most likely, in the eyes of Dongfang Ji, this person was the most suitable to be his Wind System teacher.


    Just like that.


    Under the watchful eye of Duanmu Mountain Master, Li Yuan walked to the outside of the pavilion, bowed, and said, ¡°Junior Li Yuan, greets the teacher.¡±


    Hu!


    The middle-aged man in hemp clothes, who had been staring into the distance, seemed to have only just noticed and turned his head to look at Li Yuan. His eyes were full of vicissitudes and seemed to tell a story.


    An invisible oppression spread in all directions, enveloping Li Yuan entirely.


    Demigod!


    This was the terrifying aura belonging to a demigod, unabashedly displayed, yet the middle-aged man in hemp did not utter a word.


    Gradually, Li Yuan began to sweat profusely from his forehead.


    But he was still enduring, resisting this pressure.


    Had the other party deployed a Spiritual Shock, Li Yuan might not have been able to withstand the assault of a demigod at the peak of his power¡­ but merely the oppressive atmosphere was still bearable.


    After a long moment.


    ¡°Not bad, at such a young age, your spiritual will is indeed extraordinary,¡± the middle-aged man in hemp finally spoke.


    The terrible oppression that had disseminated just now vanished in an instant, and Li Yuan immediately felt at ease.


    The middle-aged man in hemp said in a cool voice, ¡°Under 19 years of age, with such accomplishments, no wonder your Alliance Hierarch speaks so highly of you.¡±


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan said with even more respect, realizing that what had just occurred was a small test for him.


    ¡°No need to call me teacher; I didn¡¯t say I would take you as a disciple.¡±


    ¡°I have only agreed to teach you for six months at the request of your Alliance Hierarch,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine in an indifferent voice. ¡°You can call me Lie Feng Semi Divine, or Senior Lie Feng.¡±


    ¡°Whatever the reason the teacher has for instructing me, since you are teaching me, I naturally should address you as teacher,¡± Li Yuan insisted.


    ¡°As you wish,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine was indifferent, ¡°Step forward.¡± S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan approached respectfully.


    ¡°I am aware of many of your deeds; your talent in the Earth Vein is extremely high. If you focused on this, you could probably step into the threshold of Law and become a demigod in no more than twenty years,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile. ¡°So why do you want to learn the Wind Vein? To my knowledge, you don¡¯t seem to have achieved much in the Wind Vein.¡±


    Li Yuan hesitated.


    He wasn¡¯t foolish. If Lie Feng Semi Divine asked such a question, there must be a reason.


    ¡°One reason is the pursuit of the ultimate in Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly. ¡°I practice spear techniques, and I feel that the mere Stellar True Intent is not enough for the mightiness of spear techniques.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, I personally like the Wind Vein,¡± Li Yuan spoke frankly. ¡°Of course, the most important point is that I do have a certain talent in the Wind Vein.¡±


    He was mostly speaking the plain truth.


    ¡°Like?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head with a smile. ¡°Regardless of which path you take, the ultimate goal is to step through the door of Law, to become a demigod or even a divine being.¡±


    ¡°Do you know what the difference is between comprehending one law alone and comprehending multiple laws?¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head involuntarily.


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s the Earth Vein or the Wind Vein¡­ each is a part of the world¡¯s Mystery,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly. ¡°The world is vast, the Law of the Great Dao is like an ocean, and condensing True Intent is merely grasping a drop of water from the ocean.¡±


    ¡°The so-called metal, wood, water, fire, and so on are just our artificial divisions,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile. ¡°But in fact, the operation of Laws in the world is an entirety.¡±


    ¡°Similar to a civilization, which is a whole, but for better social division of labor, we artificially categorize it into various professions.¡±


    Li Yuan fell into contemplation.


    ¡°Comprehending one law allows for faster and more stable progress, but this path has its limits and bottlenecks,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke slowly. ¡°The further you go, the harder it becomes to proceed.¡±


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s enough to support you in becoming a divine being,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said. ¡°Even divine beings have only comprehended a very small part of the mysteries of Law.¡±


    Li Yuan listened closely.


    ¡°When you comprehend multiple laws, their induced various fluctuations in the world are interrelated,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said. ¡°Although they influence each other, occasionally they may trigger each other, making it easier to break through certain bottlenecks at times.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, many demigods, even divine beings, after practicing for hundreds or thousands of years and getting stuck in a bottleneck on one path of the Great Dao, will often try to comprehend other Laws.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded silently; Duanmu Mountain Master had mentioned this to him before.


    ¡°One more point, comprehending multiple laws and combining their mysteries can compensate for the weaknesses of different laws, and the resulting strength is indeed extremely terrifying,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t all these good things?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help interjecting.


    ¡°With good comes bad.¡±


    ¡°Every matter in the world has a dual nature,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head and said. ¡°First and foremost, to exert the power of Law¡¯s mystery, you must cultivate powerful Star Techniques. For example, for the Wind Vein, you typically need to cultivate various Star Techniques like Clone and Escaping Techniques, and use them in combination to maximize your strength, becoming as elusive as the wind when escaping and as swift as lightning when killing.¡±


    ¡°Whereas the Earth Vein typically involves cultivating direct combat Star Techniques, such as Body Refining Star Techniques, Domain Star Techniques, and so on,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine. ¡°However, everyone¡¯s awakening of Star Meridians is limited, and the Star Techniques one can cultivate are also limited¡­ To multi-cultivate actually makes it very difficult to bring a particular aspect to the utmost.¡±

    Chapter 441: Chapter 275: Cultivating between Heaven and Earth! Condensing True Intent (Extra 11)


    ¡°`


    Star Meridians limited?


    The number of Star Techniques one can cultivate is limited? Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred slightly.


    He had actually considered this point before.


    But he was not as pessimistic as Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors and Demigods worry because most of them have Five-Star Meridians.


    Even those with Six Star Pulse are in the minority, and the truly powerful Star Meridians are usually just two or three.


    Therefore, the really powerful Star Techniques of Flying Heaven Warriors and Demigods are often only two or three kinds.


    What about Li Yuan?


    His minimum goal is the Seven Star Veins, and with the ¡°Spiritual Guidance¡± of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, he even has hopes of awakening the Eight Star Veins or even the Nine Star Pulse in the future.


    As for Star Techniques? With Spiritual Guidance, it is entirely hopeful to bring multiple Star Meridians to the level of ¡°Perfect Star Vein.¡±


    Cultivating several Supreme Star Techniques, all have hope.


    Two veins concurrently? Li Yuan has confidence in bringing out the might of both¡­ of course, the premise is that he can achieve high enough success in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°The second is lifespan.¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine didn¡¯t know Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, and he continued, ¡°Demigods live for a thousand years, Fifth Order Divine Beings only live for five thousand years¡­ The deeper one delves into the Law of the Great Dao, the more difficult it becomes.¡±


    ¡°Divines, alone in their contemplation of a single Law of the Great Dao, find even that time insufficient, let alone contemplating multiple Laws?¡±


    ¡°You are making quick progress now, because you haven¡¯t even reached the threshold of the Law¡­ But can you ensure that once you become a Demigod, you will still have enough time to spare to contemplate other Laws?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan fell into deep thought.


    Star Techniques, he had some confidence, but time?


    Lifespan, that is an issue no one can avoid.


    With the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, he had hopes of obtaining the inheritance from the Hall of Inheritance of the Ancient Torch Divine and achieving Demigod or even Divine status¡­ all very hopeful prospects.


    But that¡¯s all in the future, and right now he¡¯s still just a Prime Warrior. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Who can be certain about the future?


    ¡°Third, comprehending different Laws of the Great Dao might sometimes help you break through faster, but more often it leads to interference with each other, causing you to stray off course. As a result, when you hit a bottleneck, you might end up being unable to break through any of them,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Mutual interference?


    Li Yuan could understand this, much like many people writing novels, theoretically writing multiple novels at the same time increases the chances of making more money.


    But often multitasking affects each project, preventing any single one from achieving significant success.


    ¡°I¡¯ve told you both the advantages and disadvantages,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, smiling at Li Yuan: ¡°Do you still insist on cultivating the Wind Vein?¡±


    Without much hesitation.


    ¡°Disciple Li Yuan, greets the teacher,¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully again, having made his decision.


    Difficult?


    Cultivating two veins concurrently is indeed tough, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t sure he would achieve great success, but he had desire and ambition.


    He had to try.


    If he didn¡¯t even try, Li Yuan would not be satisfied.


    ¡°Good,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine was not surprised.


    A transcendent genius like Li Yuan would hardly give up so easily.


    The more talented ones are, the more they believe in their own judgment. The downside is that when they fall, they often fall hard.


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine waved his hand, and suddenly an invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, whisking both away from the pavilion and shooting into the sky.


    Heading straight for the distance.


    ¡°Lie Feng Senior, please wait,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master, witnessing the scene from afar, was shocked and instantly transformed into a streak of light rushing forward.


    Li Yuan did not trust Alien Race Demigods very much.


    In fact, neither did Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Hum~


    An invisible ripple swept past, and immediately an immense pressure from all directions pressed down crazily, causing Duanmu Mountain Master to feel unprecedented pressure.


    It was as if layers upon layers of the heavens and earth were crushing down, and even someone as powerful as Duanmu Mountain Master felt his blood boiling, his speed drastically slowing.


    ¡°Duanmu lad, stop chasing,¡± a detached voice rang in Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s mind: ¡°I¡¯ve promised your Alliance Hierarch to instruct Li Yuan for half a year. After half a year, I will naturally let Li Yuan return.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Duanmu Mountain Master could only watch helplessly as at the edge of the sky, just a few seconds later, Lie Feng Semi Divine and Li Yuan had vanished without a trace.


    ¡°Such incredible speed,¡±


    ¡°Not even a hint of air turbulence can be felt, is this the legendary Demigod Peak Powerhouse of the Wind Vein?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master sighed inwardly.


    His own strength was also nearly at the Demigod threshold.


    But compared to Demigod Peak Powerhouses, the gap was indeed large.


    ¡°I¡¯ll report to San Ye Semi Divine,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master shook his head.


    Just three minutes later.


    San Ye Semi Divine had already responded, the message was simple: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the Alliance Hierarch has arrangements.¡±


    ¡­


    High in the sky at ten thousand meters.


    Whoosh!


    A hazy stream of light crossed the sky at unimaginable speed.


    ¡°This flying speed is absolutely beyond thirty times the speed of sound,¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, quickly deducing: ¡°Am I still being carried by the power of heaven and earth? Considering how Lie Feng Semi Divine appears, it seems he hasn¡¯t even used his full strength?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s perspective was incredibly high at this point.


    As far as he knew, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, when exploding with their full power, could often break the sound barrier.


    Flying Heaven Peak powers usually fly at speeds around five times the speed of sound under normal conditions.


    Some immensely strong Flying Heaven Warriors, when using certain powerful Star Techniques, might approach ten times the speed of sound, but it is very hard to reach.


    What about Lie Feng Semi Divine?


    Almost as soon as he moved, his flying speed reached thirty times the speed of sound? If he were to explode with full power, what level might he reach?


    At such a terrifying speed,


    Li Yuan believed that if a Demigod did not conceal his presence, not melding with heaven and earth¡­ once deliberately releasing his power, simply flying across the land would bring destruction to everything in its path.


    Demigods, capable of devastation and destruction, was no exaggeration.


    But.


    ¡°Teacher, what is this?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°I said I would guide you for half a year, for the next half year you will follow me,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine was quite relaxed.

    Chapter 442: Chapter 275: Cultivating Between Heaven and Earth! Condensing True Intent (Extra 11)_2


    Obviously, flying at this speed posed no burden to him.


    Li Yuan was stunned; this differed greatly from what he knew.


    You see, the so-called guidance from a demigod every member of Seven Star Mountain receives for two years isn¡¯t about following by their side¡­ it¡¯s often just once or twice per month.


    Personal cultivation? That¡¯s the treatment of a direct disciple. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After all, there are a dozen members of the Seven Star Mountain each year, and how many demigods are there in the whole alliance?


    For ordinary members of Seven Star Mountain, receiving guidance a few times is already quite rare.


    Lucky.


    ¡°As for daily cultivation essentials, I tend to keep them in three storage treasures; I also brought the six bottles of Divine Spirit Liquid that were delivered last time,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Following the other in cultivation for half a year? That also seemed fine.


    ¡°Teacher, where are we going?¡± Li Yuan asked in confusion.


    ¡°To a place with wind.¡±


    ¡­


    After just ten minutes.


    Li Yuan saw an endless expanse of land, and then a vast sea appeared.


    ¡°New Sea?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    According to the map, they had flown over five thousand kilometers, crossing a small continent¡­ New Sea is a famous ocean on Feixing, the widest part exceeds thirty thousand kilometers¡­ it¡¯s the largest ocean in the entire Feixing.


    Whoosh!


    Lie Feng Semi Divine took Li Yuan and swiftly entered the sea, going hundreds of kilometers deep, and finally slowed down and landed on a small island.


    This was an uninhabited island.


    Under the bright sunshine, with sea breezes blowing.


    Standing on the island made one¡¯s heart feel very comfortable, with the sky and sea both a shade of azure, creating a pleasant scenery.


    ¡°For the next month, you will cultivate here,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly.


    ¡°Here?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Looking around, although the scenery was beautiful, there was nothing particularly special.


    ¡°Come, take out your long spear,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said to Li Yuan, ¡°Attack me, let me see the extent of your Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°Remember, don¡¯t use Origin Power; this island can¡¯t withstand such destruction.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Lie Feng Semi Divine flipped his palm and there appeared a black stick in his hand, carved with intricate patterns, and made of an unknown material.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, and with a flip of his palm took out a second-rank superior long spear.


    This was the weapon he used previously in the World within Worlds.


    As for the Black Chen Spear? After all, it was a Semi Divine Artifact, Li Yuan hesitated and did not take it out.


    ¡°To spar with a demigod?¡±


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine must want to instruct me,¡± Li Yuan gripped the long spear with both hands, and prompted by a thought, he activated the vigor throughout his body. Without invoking Origin Power, he charged at Lie Feng Semi Divine with a roaring sound.


    The island was rugged, but to a high-level expert like Li Yuan, it was almost no different from flat ground.


    ¡°Swish! Swish! Swish!¡±


    A sky-full of spear shadows roared forth, layers of Spear Light bloomed, engulfing Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine stepped forward, and his long stick thrust out with a bang. At first glance, the thrust didn¡¯t seem fast, but it instantly swept away countless spear shadows and struck precisely at the tip of the spear.


    He blocked that thrust.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank slightly; he hadn¡¯t even felt the other party harness the power of the heavens and the earth.


    ¡°Continue, don¡¯t stop,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine frowned.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan set aside all his concerns and attacked with all his might, freely displaying each move of his Spear Technique.


    No matter how Li Yuan changed his moves, Lie Feng Semi Divine always had the upper hand, each stick strike smashing through all of Li Yuan¡¯s moves and counters.


    ¡°He¡¯s clearly not harnessing the power of the heavens and the earth.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s clearly using much less strength than me,¡± Li Yuan fought with great difficulty.


    It was as if every move he made was seen through by the opponent.


    After dozens of exchanges, Li Yuan¡¯s momentum was astonishing, with sand and stones whirling around him, but Lie Feng Semi Divine just stood there, not even moving half a step.


    ¡°Intercept,¡±


    ¡°Every time I thrust with my spear, it would be seen through by Lie Feng Semi Divine; at the weakest point of my Spear Technique¡¯s burst, I¡¯d be struck and my offensive would be dissolved,¡± Li Yuan composed himself, no longer seeking to compete with Lie Feng Semi Divine but instead focused on identifying the flaws in his own Spear Technique.


    Though the strength of their bursts was comparable, he was completely suppressed, indicating the gap in their realms was too great.


    ¡°My Spear Technique is too predictable; I need to be more subtle,¡± he thought.


    ¡°Stellar True Intent should be seamless and flawless, it can be beaten head-on, but it shouldn¡¯t be defeated before it¡¯s even fully unleashed; this means there are many flaws in my Spear Technique¡­ there¡¯s much room for improvement,¡± Li Yuan noticed many deficiencies in his Spear Technique.


    He attempted to make amends!


    ¡°More crucially, it¡¯s about speed,¡±


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s Stick Technique doesn¡¯t draw upon the powers of heaven and earth, but it can suddenly burst with speed much faster than me¡­ only then can it achieve striking after launching later,¡± Li Yuan also felt the changes in the opponent¡¯s Stick Technique: ¡°Better integration with the heavens and the earth.¡±


    ¡°Although my Spear Technique is close to merging with the heavens and the earth, there is still air resistance,¡±


    ¡°His Stick Technique burst doesn¡¯t encounter air resistance along the way; in fact, it aids him,¡±


    ¡°Is this the Mystery of wind?¡± Li Yuan was filled with vague ideas.


    This scene reminded Li Yuan of when he resonated with the consciousness of the Divine¡­ the Mystery of wind invoked by that Divine¡¯s Spear Technique.


    They were very similar.


    ¡­


    After over a thousand exchanges, Lie Feng Semi Divine finally allowed Li Yuan to stop.


    ¡°Do you feel it?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine asked softly.


    ¡°I have some sense of it,¡± Li Yuan nodded first, then shook his head, ¡°But there¡¯s still much I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s right not to understand,¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°Alright, my guidance is now over. Go to the cliff there, facing the sea, and figure it out.¡±


    Li Yuan was startled.


    Is that the end of the guidance? Not a single word.


    ¡°Starting from today, I will fight with you once every day, letting you sense the Mystery of wind,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke softly, ¡°But how exactly to perceive it, how to incorporate it into your Spear Technique¡­ that¡¯s your own affair, I won¡¯t say more.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, we will change locations every month,¡±


    ¡°Skills are rooted in the Law; what¡¯s called the Mystery of the Law, the natural Mystery of the heavens and the earth, is precisely the Dao,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke slowly, ¡°I won¡¯t teach you Spear Technique, nor pass on a Secret Manual, nor give specific guidance.¡±


    ¡°Because you have no foundation, guiding you now will only bind your mind, cloud your spirit, and prevent you from finding the path most suitable for yourself,¡±


    ¡°Your spiritual power is strong enough to resonate with the heavens and the earth,¡±


    ¡°Since the Dao originates from the heavens and the earth, then seek it from the heavens and the earth,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°When you¡¯ve found your own path, at least congealed True Intent, I will then give you specific guidance.¡±


    ¡°Go on,¡±


    Immediately, Lie Feng Semi Divine sat down on the spot, closed his eyes to rest, and paid no more attention to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Thank you, Teacher,¡±


    ¡­


    And so, Li Yuan began a completely different journey of Martial Arts Cultivation.


    ¡°Seeking the Dao from within the heavens and earth?¡± Li Yuan sat alone on the sea-facing cliff, silently feeling the Mystery of the wind¡¯s fluctuations between heaven and earth.


    At the same time, he began to combine the pointers from Lie Feng Semi Divine, trying to express it through his Spear Technique.


    ¡­


    Half a month later, one day.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan, who had been sitting in meditation on the sea cliff, suddenly had bursts of aura erupting from him, and the mighty power of heaven and earth lashed out in all directions.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine, who was in quiet cultivation, sensed something, opened his eyes, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes: ¡°True Intent?¡±


    ¡°Without realizing it, he¡¯s actually congealed Stellar True Intent?¡±


    ¡°What a freak!¡±

    Chapter 443: Chapter 276: Flying Heaven, Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)


    ¡°`


    In recent days, Lie Feng Semi Divine has sparred with Li Yuan daily, guiding and instructing him through the art of weaponry.


    The rest of the time, he mostly engaged in quiet meditation alone.


    Although Lie Feng Semi Divine was nearing the end of his lifespan and had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, with slim hopes of breakthrough,


    perhaps a breakthrough was still possible? Until the last moment, Lie Feng Semi Divine refused to give up.


    Beyond his quiet meditation, Lie Feng Semi Divine would occasionally observe Li Yuan.


    He had long noticed that besides his daily set cultivation of Origin Power and the Visualization Method,


    Li Yuan spent almost all his remaining time pondering over Spear Technique, tirelessly and without rest.


    And he was truly fully committed, without a hint of laziness.


    Furthermore, from the mysteries of the Spear Technique that Lie Feng Semi Divine perceived in Li Yuan¡¯s practice, Li Yuan spent most of his time pondering the Mystery of Wind, making quick progress.


    Added to that, Li Yuan¡¯s respectful calling of ¡®teacher, teacher¡¯ every day


    had naturally led to a growing affection over time.


    After half a month, Lie Feng Semi Divine had indeed grown fonder of Li Yuan from the bottom of his heart.


    It was normal for anyone to favor sensible juniors with high talent who practiced diligently.


    But!!


    Lie Feng Semi Divine could have never imagined that although Li Yuan spent most of his time pondering the mysteries of the wind,


    in just half a month, Li Yuan had unconsciously achieved a qualitative Transformation in the Mystery of Earth.


    For a moment, Lie Feng Semi Divine didn¡¯t know what to say.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    A kilometer away on a cliff, Li Yuan had already stood up, eyes still closed, but with a Long Spear materializing in his hand, which he gripped lightly.


    He slowly began to practice with the spear.


    As the Long Spear danced, streaks of earthy yellow currents quickly surfaced around Li Yuan and the spear¡­ The power of heaven and earth had fully materialized.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh~


    With each movement, the Spear Light streaked across the Vast Sky, and the earthy yellow streams, formed by the condensed power of heaven and earth, completely enveloped Li Yuan, as if he were encased in a spherical shell.


    These earthy yellow streams also made Li Yuan¡¯s aura increasingly formidable.


    Even under their wrap, Li Yuan was unknowingly levitating above the ground.


    Flying!


    Hovering in midair!


    ¡°A Sixth Stage master, truly stepping into the realm of the Dao,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine heaved a sigh as he watched, thinking to himself, ¡°This lad, truly has an incredible talent for the Earth Vein.¡±


    Over this half-month of teaching, he had initially thought that Li Yuan had talent in the Wind Vein.


    But now, compared to his talent in the Earth Vein? It was far inferior.


    ¡­


    ¡°The universe is vast, and the earth is boundless.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s entire being was completely immersed in the fluctuations of the earth, his soul merging entirely with heaven and earth.


    Indeed.


    Over these half-months, he truly dedicated himself to practicing the spear and pondering the mysteries of heaven and earth pertaining to wind¡­ But the Mystery of all things in heaven and earth are one, and his talent for the Earth Vein was just too high.


    With many external aids as well,


    as he sensed the mysterious and unpredictable Wind Fluctuations between heaven and earth, he unconsciously also began to sense the Mystery of Earth¡¯s fluctuations¡­ without him intentionally cultivating or comprehending them.


    Just now, as he sat cross-legged on the cliff,


    a sudden thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind, and he vaguely sensed a series of marvelous vibrations coming from the earth beneath, touching a chord deep within his soul.


    ¡°The Earth!¡±


    ¡°Heaven and Earth!¡±


    In the past, Li Yuan could sense the various fluctuations of Origin Power in the vast universe, the forces of heaven and earth, but he felt the Earth¡¯s fluctuations most clearly.


    But in that instant,


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness and spirit became one with the endless earth, sensing nothing but the vast and profound vibrations of the Earth.


    All else fell away from his perceptions.


    The earth, vast and expansive.


    All the previous insights and accumulations suddenly flooded Li Yuan¡¯s mind like a tide.


    ¡°Is this the full picture of the earth¡¯s fluctuations?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Perfect Star Vein throbbed within him, the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± transforming into a brilliant streak of starlight, faintly radiating an earthy yellow glow.


    Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of the True Meaning of Earth was deep, surpassing many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    From the rudimentary form of True Intent to the condensation of True Intent,


    that step was as vast as a chasm!


    For the Seven Star Civilization, or the many other civilizations¡¯ Flying Heaven Warriors, this barrier was nearly insurmountable.


    ¡°In the past, although I contemplated the True Meaning of Earth,¡±


    ¡°I never felt such a connection with the earth in my soul.¡± Li Yuan was completely engrossed, slowly executing his Spear Technique, with all his past insights converging into a unified whole, each movement as majestic as the rolling stars, unshakeable and imposing, imbued with a power capable of crushing all that lay before him.


    True Intent!


    Li Yuan realized then that what was referred to as Stellar True Intent, True Intent of longevity, and so on¡­ were merely aspects of the Law of the Great Dao that later generations forcibly associated.


    Strictly speaking, only the True Intent of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind¡­ Though different experts perceive them differently, they all converge to the same endpoint.


    ¡°The True Intent that I¡¯ve condensed is markedly different from the so-called ¡®Stellar True Intent¡¯ that many Flying Heaven Warriors perceive,¡± Li Yuan thoughtfully stated, ¡°There¡¯s no need to deliberately call it ¡®Stellar True Intent.¡¯


    ¡°Just the True Meaning of Earth will do.¡±


    ¡­


    In the skies above,


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± With each burst of Spear Light, not even a trace of Origin Power fluctuation was involved, yet time and again, the spear pierced through dozens of meters of empty space, leaving behind lasting Spear Light marks.

    On the offensive, it was forthright, as if to overwhelm with sheer strength.


    On defense, the currents flowed like a long river, unending.


    ¡°The Mysteries of True Intent he has grasped seem to differ from simple Stellar True Intent,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine observed from below, secretly musing, ¡°Normal Stellar True Intent excels in Defense, but Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique is well-rounded in both offense and defense, flowing continuously.¡±

    Chapter 444: Chapter 276: Flying Heaven Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)_2


    After quite some time,


    Li Yuan finally stopped completely, controlling the invisible forces of heaven and earth, and descended to the ground.


    ¡°Controlling the path and proceeding.¡± Li Yuan silently recited in his heart, only when one¡¯s skill reaches the Sixth Stage can they borrow the True Intent to fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ve finally reached the Sixth Stage of True Intent.¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine appeared beside Li Yuan at some point, his face wearing an inscrutable smile, ¡°You¡¯ve perfectly achieved Unity with heaven and earth, truly entering the path.¡±


    Li Yuan could not help but nod.


    At the Fifth Stage of Unity of Heaven and Man, the initial step is unity of the spirit with heaven and earth, where the soul merges with heaven and earth to be nourished, followed by gradually drawing upon the powers of heaven and earth.


    Gradually merging one¡¯s body with heaven and earth.


    Why can an extreme expert at the pinnacle of the Fifth Stage run so terrifyingly fast?


    It is because their body nearly merges with heaven and earth, with air almost not forming any resistance.


    Only when one¡¯s comprehension of the mysteries of heaven and earth is profound enough and the realm high enough to undergo a complete transformation to reach the state of True Intent,


    That is entering the path!


    In a single thought, one¡¯s body can fully merge with heaven and earth, becoming a part of the forces of heaven and earth, which allows one to borrow the power of heaven and earth for high-speed flight without any impediment.


    Once one reaches this realm, walking in the sky, on the land, or in the ocean almost feels like being on flat ground, hardly any different.


    This is an essential transformation.


    ¡°With your current strength, many just-broken-through Flying Heaven Warriors probably aren¡¯t as powerful as you,¡± said Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    Flying Heaven Warriors, within their Sea of Source Energy, condense an ¡®Origin Pill,¡¯ which grants them an explosive increase in the might of the Origin Power that transforms from the Origin Pill, simultaneously endowing the Martial Artist with the ability to fly¡­ Flying is the greatest advantage that Flying Heaven Warriors have over Prime Warriors.


    But those who have condensed True Intent can also fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth, and in some ways are even better at flying than many Flying Heaven Warriors who have not condensed True Intent¡­ for condensing True Intent is essentially about being recognized by heaven and earth and blessed by them.


    Like Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, they were able to defeat or even kill Flying members of the Alien Race with the bodies of Prime Warriors.


    Their biggest reliance was True Intent Comprehension.


    ¡°Condensing True Intent is but the first step on the path, it is only heaven and earth¡¯s True Intent, and you have yet to clearly comprehend the essence of heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Next, what you need to do is to continue sensing the vibrations of the Earth Vein on this path and keep contemplating and deducing,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°Until one day, a quantitative change causes a qualitative Transformation, allowing you to integrate your many comprehensions. That will be The Mystery of Law.¡±


    ¡°The Mystery of Law, just by understanding a trace of it, you won¡¯t need any external force, and just with a thought, you could kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°But stepping into the threshold of Law is extremely difficult, many Demigods cannot achieve it.¡±


    ¡°Disciple understands,¡± said Li Yuan.


    He had seen this mentioned in many records in the database¡­ typically, when one¡¯s skill reaches the Perfection Level of True Intent and they have refined their body and Origin Pill to the utmost, they can hope to step into the Demigod level.


    And if one¡¯s skill reaches the Seventh Stage of Law? Becoming a Demigod is as easy as lifting your hand.


    Like Li Yuan now.


    He felt that with his exceedingly high skill level, just by thinking about it, even if his Physical Quality had yet to reach the pinnacle of a Prime Warrior¡­ he could still draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and with five Star Meridians converging to form an Origin Pill, directly become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Such is the power of high expertise.


    Of course, what Li Yuan was pursuing was to awaken the Seven Star Veins or even the Eight Star Veins as a Prime Warrior¡­ striving to condense the most potent Origin Pill swiftly upon breakthrough, to lay the best foundation.


    In the short term, Li Yuan would not choose to break through.


    ¡°Your natural talent in the Earth Vein is unbelievably high,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°but it is much inferior in the Wind Vein, are you sure you want to continue cultivating it?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded emphatically, having come this far, how could he give up.


    ¡°Good,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine wasn¡¯t really trying to dissuade him.


    It was just that he simply felt that Li Yuan¡¯s attention to the Wind Vein¡­ seemed somewhat a waste of time.


    ¡­


    Having successfully condensed the True Meaning of Earth, his strength once again surged, and Li Yuan felt exceptionally at ease.


    Once again sitting cross-legged on the cliff.


    Listening to the tide rise and fall, letting the strong wind blow¡­ the weather on the island was unpredictable.


    ¡°Is the weather changing again?¡± Li Yuan pondered in his heart.


    Over the past half-month, Li Yuan had become accustomed to the sudden weather changes on the island in the deep sea.


    ¡°Sensing heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes.


    Now that he had successfully condensed True Intent, he felt an even clearer sense of the vast heaven and earth.


    Those strands of vibrations of heaven and earth also appeared ever more ¡®beautiful¡¯ in his eyes.


    Only when one has reached that level, can they appreciate the wonderful beauty of nature.


    To pursue the path in the morning and be ready to die in the evening.


    The prerequisite is to enter the path.


    ¡°Spiritual power grows even faster.¡± Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The more effortlessly I draw upon the Source Power between heaven and earth, the faster my Physical Quality grows, and my Origin Power recovery speed will also increase accordingly,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    The transformation of skill represents a higher degree of harmony with heaven and earth.


    ¡°The vibrations of the Earth, boundless and expansive.¡±


    ¡°Wind, on the other hand, roams freely within the vast heaven and earth.¡± Li Yuan vaguely felt some commonalities between the Mysteries of Earth and the Mysteries of Wind.


    At the level of cultivation that Li Yuan had reached,


    He increasingly understood that the Mysteries of Earth were not simply about Defense; they also have an unrestrained side¡­ But its core is about encompassing everything, about supporting everything, about extending to the stable vastness of the endless earth.


    It is the cornerstone of the endless operation of heaven and earth, and in some sense, it is indeed very rigid, even in attack it is forthright, seeking to crush with absolute power.


    But the Mystery of Wind, it too has many aspects, it can be used for attack or Defense, but its core is fluid and elegant.


    Earth, Wind.


    These two great Laws seem to be completely opposite.


    But in Li Yuan¡¯s perception, they appeared to have thousands of intertwining connections.

 Chapter 445: 276: Flying Heaven, Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)_3

    Chapter 445: Chapter 276: Flying Heaven, Escaping Earth! One Year Later (Request for Monthly Pass)_3


    ¡°In the Divine Spear Technique, the mysteries of the two great laws are perfectly combined,¡± Li Yuan silently recalled his initial impressions.


    ¡°Time to practice the spear!¡±


    ¡°Focusing solely on the Mystery of Wind indeed wasn¡¯t fast enough,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now that I have condensed the True Meaning of Earth and entered the path¡­ I shall try learning the Divine Spear Technique again and see if I can integrate the Mystery of Wind into it.¡±


    Meanwhile.


    Li Yuan¡¯s peripheral vision swept over a column in the Divine Palace panel:


    [Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mystery of Wind (Fifth Stage 19%)]


    ¡°After entering the Sixth Stage, there¡¯s no longer a distinction between Spear Technique and movement technique?¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°And it¡¯s no longer giving me feedback in terms of percentages?¡±


    To this, Li Yuan could understand.


    Grasping the mysteries of heaven and earth is inherently immeasurable, and the fact that the Divine Palace panel could still vaguely classify them into Initial Rank, Intermediate Rank, and High Rank was already extraordinary.


    Like many martial artists who had reached the realm of True Intent, even they often couldn¡¯t clearly define their own level of achievement.


    The Dao is elusive.


    ¡°The progress in the Mystery of Wind isn¡¯t slow either,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    At first glance, the rapid approach to Intermediate Rank in the Fifth Stage of the Mystery of Wind seemed much faster than before when contemplating the Mysteries of Earth¡­ but that was because Li Yuan had already completed the foundational body and spirit from the First to the Fourth Level.


    And now, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had grown tremendously.


    Even if he were to try contemplating the Mysteries of Water or the Mysteries of Fire now, he would also start directly from the Fifth Stage.


    ¡°Drip-drop~ Drip-drop~


    Huff! Huff!


    The sky had started to drizzle, and Li Yuan, facing the wind and rain, began to practice his spear technique once again.


    ¡­


    Several hundred kilometers away from the entrance and exit of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    In that mysterious Dark Space, a vague figure sat upon the void.


    Surrounding him were subtle ripples intertwined with streaks of golden light, adding to his enigma.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    A deep voice suddenly sounded, ¡°Lie Feng Semi-Divine has sent a message about Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Speak,¡± the vague figure commanded without opening his eyes.


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi-Divine says that Li Yuan has made quick progress on the Wind Vein but¡­ it seems his progress on the Earth Vein is far more terrifying,¡± the deep voice reported.


    ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s not focusing on the Wind Vein while practicing with Lie Feng?¡± the vague figure frowned slightly.


    ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡±


    ¡°According to Lie Feng Semi-Divine, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness is extremely strong, and he is very diligent in his practice, always focusing on the Wind Vein,¡± the deep voice explained, ¡°But somehow, he has also condensed the True Meaning of Earth unknowingly.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s condensed the True Intent so quickly?¡± There was a hint of surprise in the vague figure¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the deep voice replied, ¡°There¡¯s still half a month before he turns 19, already much faster than Fang Hai was back then, he¡¯s now the number one of our Seven Star Civilization, and Fang Hai had obtained¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Each person has their own destiny.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai obtained an opportunity that even I envied, and perhaps Li Yuan also had his fortune in secret,¡± the vague figure said calmly, ¡°But what peerless genius doesn¡¯t have a great opportunity?¡±


    ¡°Sometimes, if the opportunity is too strong and one¡¯s own strength can¡¯t bear it, it can be harmful instead.¡±


    ¡°Tell Lie Feng, just instruct him as usual.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    About ten days after condensing the True Meaning of Earth, on a certain island, two figures were sparring.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear thrust forward or slashed down aggressively in his hands, overwhelming in attack, but within the direct and honest assault hid countless variable moves, all very agile.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± Each collision of their weapons, even though Lie Feng Semi-Divine still held an absolute advantage,


    had become increasingly difficult for him to intercept Li Yuan¡¯s weapon. He even had to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to withstand Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    After a long while, they ceased their sparring.


    ¡°How has your spear technique improved so rapidly?¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, ¡°Judging just by the Mystery of Wind, you could already be considered at the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage.¡±


    In one month¡¯s time, going from just starting to contemplate the Mystery of Wind to stepping into the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage?


    What kind of cultivation speed was that? Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lie Feng Semi-Divine clearly felt that since condensing the True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan¡¯s pace of cultivation in the Mystery of Wind had sped up considerably.


    ¡°Firstly, it¡¯s thanks to the teacher¡¯s excellent guidance,¡±


    Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Secondly, after condensing the True Meaning of Earth, during cultivation, I gradually attempted to integrate the Mysteries of Earth and Wind into one, which promoted each other, making my cultivation much faster.¡±


    ¡°Mysteries of Earth and Wind promoting each other?¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan without revealing his inner shock.


    Lie Feng Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°How did you manage that?¡±


    Combining two Mysteries is extraordinarily difficult; if not done correctly, it¡¯s easy to negatively affect each other and slow down both cultivations.


    ¡°It just happened naturally,¡± Li Yuan ¡®honestly¡¯ replied.


    Lie Feng Semi-Divine was silent for a moment.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°If the path you¡¯re on is the right one, then follow your own path,¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine said softly, ¡°Contemplating the Law of the Great Dao, following your own heart¡¯s desire is the most correct.¡±


    ¡°I will surely work hard and live up to teacher¡¯s expectations,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    Yet, inside, he was inwardly sighing.


    Naturally? No! It was because of the Martial God Inheritance and the guidance of the Spear Technique with Divine Consciousness Resonance¡­ that allowed him to be on a relatively correct path from the start to end.


    Li Yuan was indeed talented in the Wind Vein.


    But the external environment was indispensable.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, change location for cultivation,¡± Lie Feng Semi-Divine said, taking to the skies.


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan manipulated the power of heaven and earth and also soared up.


    Experiencing True Intent for so long, this was the first time Li Yuan had fully unleashed his flying ability.


    Boom!


    ¡°While controlling the Dao for flight, my fastest velocity is roughly thrice the speed of sound,¡± Li Yuan quickly deduced.

    ¡°`


    Fortunately, Lie Feng Semi Divine did not fly fast, Li Yuan quickly caught up.


    ¡°Teacher, where are we going?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Wherever the wind blows, that¡¯s where we go.¡±


    ¡­


    Not long after, the two arrived at a tall mountain on Feixing, where ice and snow were perennial, and fierce winds howled.


    ¡°For the next month, you will cultivate here,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    Li Yuan had vaguely understood Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s intention, to feel the heaven and earth, to observe all the scenes in the world.


    It was an excellent method for cultivation towards enlightenment.


    Time was immaterial in cultivation.


    Just like that.


    Every month, Li Yuan would follow Lie Feng Semi Divine to a different place to cultivate.


    Island, snowy mountain, deep valley, desert, Gobi¡­ They appeared in all kinds of dangerous places on Feixing.


    From beginning to end, Lie Feng Semi Divine never told Li Yuan how to comprehend, only using the daily battles to guide him.


    Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.


    Traveling thousands of miles is not as good as having a knowledgeable teacher guide you.


    Now, Li Yuan was traveling thousands of miles while being guided by a knowledgeable teacher, and the continuous help from Divine Spirit Liquid made his cultivation speed even faster.


    In such daily cultivation.


    Li Yuan¡¯s physical quality and his understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth were constantly improving.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.


    ¡­


    In a mysterious Dark Space not far from the entrance and exit of the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    A deep voice suddenly rang out in the Dark Space: ¡°Li Yuan has completed his half-year tenure with Lie Feng Semi Divine.¡±


    ¡°Just now, Lie Feng Semi Divine has sent a message.¡±


    ¡°What did he say?¡± The blurred figure still did not open its eyes: ¡°Is he planning to send Li Yuan back?¡±


    ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine says, give him another half year,¡± the deep voice said: ¡°And, he hopes to take Li Yuan as his Direct Disciple.¡±


    The Dark Space became quiet once again.


    After a while.


    ¡°It seems, Li Yuan has satisfied him greatly,¡± the blurred figure slowly said: ¡°Agree¡­ But whether he wishes to become a disciple, we must also consult Li Yuan¡¯s opinion.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡±


    ¡­


    Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, it¡¯s June 2045.


    Fierce Feather Star Realm, World within Worlds.


    Hall of Inheritance of the Fire System Divine Being.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Streams of flame light appeared out of nowhere, followed by the appearance of a figure in a fiery red robe in the hall.


    On her forehead, a flame emblem was faintly visible, and her eyes also showed a hint of joy. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She had finally succeeded.


    ¡°Lanyue, I didn¡¯t expect that with the help of the Myriad Flame Divine Diagram, in just over a year, you would grow this much,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said: ¡°In the mysteries of fire, you have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage, and your Physical Quality has also transformed to Level 22, qualifying you to go out.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Boundary Spirit,¡± Lin Lanyue said respectfully.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me, this is all your own doing,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said: ¡°Your willpower was already not bad, and after acquiring the Visualization Method, it transformed even more¡­ to endure six rounds of Fire Refining Nirvana, you have truly brought out your bloodline potential.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, a trace of solemnity in her eyes.


    Six rounds of Fire Refining Nirvana were indeed a nightmare.


    ¡°Soon, when your Physical Quality reaches Level 29, your spiritual power should be able to reach the Flying Heaven Level, and your comprehension of the natural mysteries of heaven and earth will also be much faster,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said again: ¡°However, the road ahead is still fraught with hardships.¡±


    ¡°You wish to become the Direct Disciple of your master, but you are not yet qualified.¡±


    ¡°Go out and experience,¡±


    ¡°Come back when you¡¯ve reached the pinnacle of a Prime Warrior,¡± the voice of the Boundary Spirit said: ¡°Once the Cave Heaven World is liberated¡­ you will receive the most important gift left for you by your master.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded, her eyes brimming with joy.


    She was finally able to go out.


    In her heart, several figures emerged, parents, elder brother, second brother.


    Lastly, the image of another person, whom she hadn¡¯t seen in over a year, suddenly appeared in her mind.


    ¡°Are you doing well?¡± Lin Lanyue thought to herself.


    Hum~


    An invisible fluctuation swept over, and Lin Lanyue disappeared within the hall.


    ¡­


    Xia Country, Northern Border Province, the entrance and exit of Rob Sea Star Realm spanned hundreds of kilometers, with extremely unstable space.


    On one side of the entrance was a sky full of yellow sand.


    Several large War Fortresses stood erect, beyond counting weapon towers.


    On the other end, beyond the faintly illusory space ripples, a blood moon illuminated the dark and vast land.


    Rugged mountain ranges stretched endlessly.


    This place was the most dangerous in Xia Country¡¯s Territory and the most likely to upgrade to a ¡®Third Level Star Realm¡¯ from a Second Level Star Realm.


    The key point was, this was the frontline of the war between the Seven Star Civilization and the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Great battles erupted year-round.


    ¡°Hum~¡± ¡°Hum~¡±


    ¡°Hum~¡± Inside several large War Fortresses, along the corridors, alert systems flashed red lights nearly at the same time.


    ¡°War Alert!¡±


    ¡°War Alert!¡±


    ¡°Full-scale War Alert.¡± The entire stationed army of a million in the Rob Sea War Zone, tens of thousands of Martial Artists, were simultaneously jolted in their hearts and entered a state of readiness.


    Everyone knew that since the great battle two years ago.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization had once again initiated full-scale war.

 Chapter 447: 277: The Fourth Brood Nest! The Expedition (Extra 12)

    Chapter 447: Chapter 277: The Fourth Brood Nest! The Expedition (Extra 12)


    The Rob Sea Star Realm is not particularly vast.


    During the inquiry of the Seven Star Civilization, the largest explored range exceeded thirty thousand kilometers.


    However, decades of relentless effort and massive resource investment have only led to the establishment of an outpost base within about three thousand kilometers of the star realm¡¯s entrance.


    Further in? The Seven Star Civilization has only been able to dispatch small squads for exploration, struggling to establish a solid base.


    The most significant reason for this is the obstruction of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    This foreign civilization, as one of the earliest to enter the Rob Sea Star Realm and the first to invest massive resources, built numerous mother nest lairs, enabling it to maintain a strong offensive against the Seven Star Civilization.


    About eight thousand kilometers away from the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s nearest outpost base, there is a continuous mountain range.


    Deep beneath the mountains, many large secret chambers are constructed, interconnected like a vast labyrinth.


    Each chamber is endlessly bright, as if it were daylight, with occasionally massive exotic beasts patrolling.


    In one of the super-large chambers, three massive exotic beasts each occupied one end: a colossal red flying serpent, a furry giant resembling a simian clad in thick armor, and a beast with tiger-like paws and a body covered in black scales.


    The aura they exuded was exceptionally vigorous,


    At the moment, in front of them, there was a massive holographic projection, displaying a shadowy figure shrouded in darkness.


    Its true face was unclear, with even its background nearly nonexistent.


    ¡°You three, long time no see,¡± the shadowy figure cackled with an eerie laugh.


    ¡°Black Mist, long time no see,¡± the colossal blood-colored flying serpent spoke. As Sky-Flying Level Life, they were highly intelligent, and learning an alien race¡¯s language was effortless for them.


    The three exotic beasts present are the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s three great leaders in the Rob Sea Star Realm, each possessing formidable combat strength.


    As for the shadowy figure before them?


    Its identity is even more special¡­ it is the most highly positioned undercover agent that the Cloud Beast Civilization can secretly contact within the Seven Star Civilization.


    All along, it has been relaying intelligence to them.


    ¡°Black Mist, you should have received the items we sent,¡± the blood-colored flying serpent said softly, ¡°based on our previous agreement, you should now provide us with information.¡±


    Neither side could truly trust the other, making transactions difficult.


    Each transaction took a long time.


    ¡°Of course, I always keep my promises,¡± the shadowy figure said, ¡°this is Xia Country¡¯s current ¡®Troop Deployment Distribution Map¡¯; it¡¯s already quite detailed¡­ more details, I can¡¯t obtain since I¡¯m not a commander.¡±


    Swiftly, S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    the shadowy figure passed the intelligence quickly to the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s three great leaders.


    ¡°The second piece of news, Lude Nef has been confirmed to have broken through,¡± the shadowy figure said, ¡°he has achieved the Sky-Flying Level¡­ though this news hasn¡¯t spread.¡±


    ¡°The third message, Yu Jinghe has been deeply trapped in Ming Mountain of the Mingxu Star Realm and should not be able to get out any time soon.¡±


    ¡°The remaining group of Prime Warriors at Seven Star Mountain, who have grasped True Intent, are not that strong, posing little threat to you.¡±


    The three great beasts exchanged glances, a hint of relief flashing in their eyes.


    This war they had instigated, their greatest concern were the powerful Prime Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, whose strength was even greater than ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ especially Lude Nef, who was practically a nightmare for the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Similarly,


    in this past year, the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization have been contesting over the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ Yu Jinghe has also emerged spectacularly, displaying increasingly terrifying power.


    The two of them, both capable of confronting large groups of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But now, these two biggest threats, one has achieved a breakthrough and the other is trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°Fine, that¡¯s all the intelligence,¡± the shadowy figure said, ¡°if you still can¡¯t win, don¡¯t blame me.¡±


    ¡°Black Mist,¡±


    the blood-red flying serpent, Wu Sihai, spoke deeply, ¡°Our demigod has tasked me with delivering a message to you. If you are willing to take out Yu Jinghe or Li Yuan, we are prepared to offer treasures worth thirty thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Thirty thousand Seven Stars Points?¡± the shadowy figure laughed bizarrely, ¡°Wu Sihai, are you looking down on me? Or are you underestimating Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan of my Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe is powerful; killing him would be difficult.¡±


    ¡°As for Li Yuan? He¡¯s more mysterious; I can¡¯t even find where he is.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I only trade in intelligence; I never strike. But that¡¯s not to say I won¡¯t consider it¡­ it¡¯s just a matter of price.¡±


    ¡°How much do you want?¡± Wu Sihai with the blood-colored flying serpent¡¯s eyes lit up slightly.


    ¡°Treasures worth one million Seven Stars Points!¡±


    The chamber suddenly fell silent.


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t blame me for not taking action; blame your poverty,¡± the shadowy figure snickered, ¡°I¡¯m off, we¡¯ll contact again next time.¡±


    Boom~


    The projection with the shadowy figure instantly vanished.


    ¡°Bastard! One million? How can he even ask for that!¡± the purple-furred simian burst into an angry roar, ¡°A decent Semi Divine Artifact is often valued at about ten thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°One million could almost exchange for a Divine Artifact,¡± the purple simian growled.


    ¡°Zipa,¡± Wu Sihai, the flying serpent, frowned and said, ¡°He wasn¡¯t willing to take action in the first place, just throwing out absurd prices. These humans are all exceedingly cunning¡­ They will only trade intelligence, they¡¯ll never truly risk their lives.¡±


    ¡°Wu Sihai, what¡¯s your plan?¡± the black beast who had not spoken yet suddenly said.


    ¡°Three mother nest lairs, over the past two years, have bred a large number of exotic beasts, devouring and slaughtering each other; we have accumulated enough Second Rank exotic beasts,¡± said Wu Sihai, the flying serpent, in a deep voice, ¡°I have already ordered the three Great Mothers to initiate the first wave of attacks from the front lines.¡±

 Chapter 448: 277: The Fourth Brood Beast Lair! Setting Forth (Additional Chapter 12)_2

    Chapter 448: Chapter 277: The Fourth Brood Beast Lair! Setting Forth (Additional Chapter 12)_2


    ¡°Once we destroy the many outposts of the Seven Star Civilization and they lose their monitoring capacity over us,¡±


    ¡°it will be time for us to establish our fourth nest beast lair,¡± the Flying Serpent Wu Sihai said, ¡°Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef is restrained¡­ Even if the Seven Star Civilization reacts, it will be difficult for them to dispatch stronger forces to kill their way in here in a short time.¡±


    The other two leaders couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    The nest beast lair is extremely vulnerable when it is first established.


    But as time passes, it becomes stronger and stronger¡­ Once the first three nest beast lairs became completely stable, the Seven Star Civilization attacked several times but could not shake them.


    ¡°Once we establish the fourth nest beast lair, our offensive will be even stronger,¡± the purple monkey Zipa said in a deep voice, ¡°At that time, we will be able to completely suppress the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°And then wait to establish the fifth nest beast lair¡­ The entire Star Realm will belong to us.¡±


    The other two leaders couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    The ultimate goal of the Cloud Beast Civilization is to invade the entire Star Realm, continuously spawning more exotic beasts, both to strengthen the civilization¡¯s foundation and to use it as a springboard to constantly invade the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡­


    The Rob Sea erupted into a great war again.


    Indeed, it put tremendous pressure on the Seven Star Civilization, especially on Xia Country.


    After all, in the Mingxu Star Realm, the great war with the Tianliang Civilization had not yet ended, and a large number of elite forces had already been committed. How could they withdraw?


    The main forces in these two great wars were from Xia Country.


    However, given Xia Country¡¯s foundation and strong national power, it could still hold out for a short time.


    Moreover, as per tradition, in such continuous large-scale wars, the alliance would make adjustments, ordering other nations to dispatch forces to assist.


    This is a full-scale war with an alien civilization, and no power can refuse the summoning.


    ¡­


    Feixing, on that island deep within the Prajna Sea.


    Overcast clouds filled the sky, and gusts of wind blew violently on that rugged, stony island.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan greeted the middle-aged man in hemp clothing with respect.


    Eleven months had passed.


    The Lie Feng Semi Divine seemed to take a step closer to the end of his lifespan, with a hint of white hair emerging on his head and his face showing increased signs of age.


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s been about five months since you officially joined my discipleship,¡± said the Lie Feng Semi Divine in a gentle voice.


    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Half a year ago, when the Lie Feng Semi Divine proposed to formally take him as a disciple, Li Yuan did not hesitate to agree.


    After such a long time together, Li Yuan could feel that the other party treated him well and taught him with great dedication.


    Accepting a teacher?


    On the path of cultivation, there are often many teachers.


    This matter, Gu You once told Li Yuan, if one can strengthen oneself and is willing to do so, as long as it doesn¡¯t involve betraying one¡¯s original teacher, it¡¯s fine to accept other powerful individuals as one¡¯s teachers.


    After accepting his teacher, Li Yuan had returned to the Martial Divine Star Realm once to retrieve the Divine Spirit Liquid and many other cultivation resources.


    To this day, he had been following the Lie Feng Semi Divine in cultivation for nearly five months, with great progress.


    ¡°Come,¡±


    ¡°Let your teacher see what progress you have made in these three days,¡± the Lie Feng Semi Divine stood up.


    Two months ago, Li Yuan had already stopped fighting daily, switching to fighting every three days instead.


    The Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    After nearly a year, Li Yuan was consistent in showing respectful disciple etiquette, without a trace of slackness, cultivating industriously, with faster and faster progress in the Mystery of Wind¡­ all utterly without fault.


    The Lie Feng Semi Divine grew from initially disliking to increasingly liking Li Yuan.


    And yet!


    The closer to the end of his lifespan, the more the Lie Feng Semi Divine felt the approaching death¡­ the hope of breaking through growing dimmer by the day.


    A powerful individual when young might not wish to sincerely instruct a disciple, often having more faith in themselves, and even when dealing with their own offspring or disciples, they hold numerous selfish motives.


    But as they age and face the end of life, they often hope to pass on their knowledge to an outstanding disciple.


    This was fully demonstrated in the Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    He believed that Li Yuan had the potential to surpass him in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Be careful, Teacher,¡±


    Li Yuan said softly, and suddenly a black long spear appeared in his hand. It instantly transformed into a hazy stream of light, rushing towards the Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Sssh~¡±


    ¡°Sssh~¡± The long spear whistled, and like a phantom, it flicked out countless phantoms to assassinate the Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    Fast! Too fast!


    The speed of Li Yuan¡¯s spear strikes, compared to a year before, was much faster, and with a hazy agility, it was nearly impossible to trace when it thrust out.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s eyes lit up, and he suddenly thrust his long staff forward, instantly harnessing the power of heaven and earth.


    In an instant, weapons collided in the void, and a series of staff shadows blocked the spear light that enveloped the sky.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Faster!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s fighting spirit soared as he fully invoked the Mysteries of Wind, unleashing his Spear Technique attacks.


    A year had passed. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan had achieved astonishing accomplishments in the Mysteries of Wind.


    Now, although he had not yet condensed the True Meaning of Wind, his confidence in ascending Seven Star Mountain with just the fluctuations of the wind¡¯s Mystery alone was a testament to his tremendous progress.


    Still, he could not shake Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Use your ultimate move, or you will be defeated,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes changed.


    Boom!


    Streams of pale earthen-yellow qi appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant, they enveloped an area of several dozen meters, each strand of qi containing astonishing binding force.


    The True Meaning of Earth! Heaven-Earth Domain!


    ¡°Wind!¡± In a flash, Li Yuan¡¯s form split in two as the invisible fluctuations of the Mysteries of Wind dispersed, and he darted through the earthen-yellow qi streams.


    Both Li Yuan figures, clad in Combat Armor and wielding Long Spears, were indistinguishable from each other, real or fake.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± Both Li Yuan figures simultaneously thrust their long spears, with Spear Light resembling two terrifying beams, which under the enhancement of the earthen-yellow qi streams, made his already elusive Spear Technique even more terrifying.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    His Long Spear collided with Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s over and over again.


    However, with one figure being real and the other a phantom, and constantly swapping places, his Spear Technique became even more unpredictable.


    For a short time, he even seemed to be overpowering Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    ¡°Destroy!¡±


    With a sudden shout from Lie Feng Semi Divine, a terrifying fluctuation spread out instantly, causing the strands of earthen-yellow qi to blast away and leaving only one Li Yuan amidst the streams.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A staff strike thundered out, as swift as lightning, slamming into Li Yuan¡¯s spear and sending him flying dozens of meters before he steadied himself again.


    ¡°Teacher, I lost,¡± Li Yuan shook his head and said.


    ¡°What did you lose?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head slightly and said, ¡°This fusion of your two Mysteries¡­ its power is already unfathomable, forcing me to use High Rank Sixth Stage skills to hardly break through your defense¡­ and in the end, I had to use even greater strength to directly crush your Domain to win.¡±


    ¡°This is just the initial combination.¡±


    ¡°When your Mysteries of Wind transform into True Intent¡­ the combined power of both True Intents will be even more terrifying,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°What do you call this move?¡±


    ¡°Shadow Domain,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    This killing move.


    Was precisely the strongest move that Li Yuan had developed over the past year, combining the True Meaning of Earth with the Mysteries of Wind.


    If he used the True Meaning of Earth alone, the resulting Domain would be quite rigid, possessing only simple binding power, which wasn¡¯t very effective in actual combat. Other Flying Heaven Warriors could easily break out of it.


    If he relied purely on the Mysteries of Wind in battle, with his current abilities, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t create a perfectly untraceable ¡®Phantom¡¯. At most, it made him faster and his Spear Technique more ghostly and unpredictable.


    But once the two Mysteries combined.


    The True Meaning of Earth at its core, with the Mysteries of Wind as an auxiliary, made the Domain that Li Yuan created more resilient and capable of generating a phantom that could sow real confusion amidst the false.


    In battle, it was incredibly unpredictable.


    The focus of the Shadow Domain, was not on the Domain but on the ¡°shadow.¡±


    Li Yuan believed.


    That if other Flying Heaven Warriors engaged in close combat with him, and they made a mistake in discerning his true form.


    They would likely be struck down by him in an instant.


    ¡°Shadow Domain? The name is quite fitting,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine nodded slightly, ¡°With the True Meaning of Earth as the foundation, your Domain will not be easily destroyed; it¡¯s much stronger than a mere Domain of Wind.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Among the Seven Great Laws, each has its strengths, and if we¡¯re talking about forming a Domain, those created by the Mysteries of Earth and Water are the most powerful. The former exerts greater pressure and the latter has more resilience in its binding.


    ¡°With the Mysteries of Wind integrated into your Domain, making your phantom even more difficult to detect, indeed it is a lethal move. If you continue to refine it, it will surely allow you to dominate among Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°You, are ready to leave your teacher.¡±


    ¡°Leave my teacher?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Your Mysteries of Wind have reached the Perfection Level of Fifth Stage, do you still need to follow me?¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need anymore.¡±


    ¡°A teacher takes you through the door, but the practice is personal.¡±


    ¡°I have taught you everything I can,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°the path ahead is yours to walk on your own.¡±


    ¡°Before you go, I have something more to give you.¡±

 Chapter 449: 278: A Teachers Gift! Farewell, Dean Hai (Extra 13)

    Chapter 449: Chapter 278: A Teacher¡¯s Gift! Farewell, Dean Hai (Extra 13)


    ¡°You should know that to you, a teacher is of an alien race,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said indifferently, ¡°I do not belong to your civilization, and logically, it would be very difficult to fully trust me.¡±


    ¡°Disciple has never thought this way,¡± Li Yuan replied quickly.


    If at the beginning, Li Yuan still had some guard up,


    then after spending days and nights together for nearly a year, he had come to respect and acknowledge Lie Feng Semi Divine from the bottom of his heart.


    Perhaps compared to another nominal teacher, ¡®Ancient Torch Divine¡¯, Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s strength might be much weaker and the help he could offer much less, but their emotional bond was clearly much deeper.


    Emotions take time to build.


    ¡°Hear me out,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile, gesturing with his hand for Li Yuan to be quiet.


    ¡°It¡¯s normal not to trust.¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a smile: ¡°When I initially came to teach you, it was at the request of Dongfang Ji¡­ I owe him a great debt of gratitude.¡±


    ¡°I am from another plane and met him in the ¡®Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine continued, ¡°At that time, he had just become a demigod. We adventured together for several years, forming a deep friendship before returning to our respective civilizations.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, what is this Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Li Yuan asked, unable to help his curiosity.


    He had never heard of such a place!


    ¡°With your talent and strength, once you reach the Flying Heaven Level, you will naturally understand. Dongfang Ji knows more about it than I do,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a faint smile, ¡°Decades after parting with Dongfang Ji, about eighty years ago¡­ my home civilization was invaded by the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    This civilization was also the greatest enemy of the Seven Star Civilization, having tried many times to invade but were always repelled.


    ¡°Your Seven Star Civilization is strong enough to have withstood several invasions from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said slowly, a trace of sorrow on his face that he quickly concealed, ¡°but our civilization was not strong enough¡­ Our entire civilization was completely destroyed, dozens of demigods were slaughtered, most of the surviving tribespeople were killed, and the rest became servants.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    Although he had known some of these facts about his teacher Lie Feng, hearing them from him¡­ was a different feeling altogether.


    Feixing had also suffered a similar catastrophe, with billions perishing.


    ¡°I was certain to die¡­ but it was Dongfang Ji who saved me,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine explained, ¡°After that, I stayed on Feixing, taking the role of what is called a ¡®guest demigod¡¯. However, over these decades, in truth, they haven¡¯t asked me to do much.¡±


    ¡°Teaching you was the first thing Dongfang Ji asked me to do, and I shall do it diligently,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Of course, you are exceptionally outstanding.¡±


    Li Yuan completely understood the reasons now.


    ¡°I still have many things to do, so I don¡¯t have too many treasures to give you,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said softly, waving his hand.


    Whirrr~


    Several green crystal stones emitting a strange light suddenly floated in front of Li Yuan, all the size of a fist and looking very mysterious.


    ¡°What are these?¡± Li Yuan asked, holding his breath.


    ¡°These are Inheritance Stones, which contain a vast amount of information. I have prepared nine of them,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine explained, ¡°One of them contains the insights from my lifetime of cultivation, which you can refer to and learn from, but as always¡­ personal cultivation is unique, and others¡¯ experiences and insights can only serve as a reference.¡±


    ¡°Disciple understands,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°The other eight contain one star technique each, either cultivated by me or collected by me,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine continued, ¡°Among them, the three most core ones are the Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯, the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯, and the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡®Wind Feather¡¯.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Ultimately, you are centered on the Earth Vein, and you certainly won¡¯t cultivate many Wind Vein star techniques,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said, ¡°Considering the way you fight¡­ I would advise that for the Wind Vein, you should only cultivate up to two types of star techniques.¡±


    ¡°One type is the Shadow Clone, which once sufficiently cultivated, will allow your deployed Phantom Bodies to truly contain combat power, making it easier to execute¡­ The other is an Escaping Technique,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine explained.


    ¡°Thank you, teacher, for your guidance,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    It aligned perfectly with his own thoughts.


    No matter whether adventuring or engaging in battle and slaughter, preserving one¡¯s life is always of the utmost importance; therefore, learning escaping techniques is essential.


    The many Star Techniques left behind by the Ancient Torch Divine included the escaping technique ¡°Light Transformation,¡± which is an extremely strong Seventh Layer Star Technique.


    ¡°As for the other treasures,¡±


    ¡°I once traded with Dongfang Ji¡­ The remaining Seven Stars Points left in the Seven Star Treasury, I have transferred them all to you,¡± smiled Lie Feng Semi Divine. ¡°It¡¯s not much, just about twenty thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    This is not much?


    Twenty thousand Seven Stars Points! That would drive many Flying Heaven Warriors mad with desperation.


    But upon considering the strength of his teacher, Lie Feng¡­ Li Yuan came to terms with it.


    This is a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse after all.


    Yet, a flicker of unease crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind. All transferred to himself? Does the teacher need nothing at all? What is he about to do?


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is all I can help you with. Go back to Seven Star Mountain,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine slowly said. ¡°The strong are refined through countless battles.¡±


    ¡°According to my observations, you must be very close to awakening the Six Star Pulse, and with your talent, you have a solid chance of challenging the Seven Star Veins. In any case, try to reach the limit of a Prime Warrior before breaking through¡­ In all your future life-and-death struggles, you must be careful,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine couldn¡¯t help but add a few more words.


    ¡°Disciple understands,¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully and said, ¡°If I wish to see you in the future, teacher, where should I look for you?¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s fated, we will meet again.¡±


    ¡­


    He watched as Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the thick fog and fierce winds above the sea.


    Lie Feng Semi Divine sighed softly in his heart.


    He was very aware that it would probably be difficult for them to meet again in this lifetime.


    Before long.


    Buzz~ An invisible fluctuation enveloped the world as a powerful will descended upon this region of the sea.


    Lie Feng Semi Divine¡¯s eyebrows lifted.


    He has arrived.


    He was well aware that it was not his true body that had come, but his consciousness descending from tens of thousands of miles away through the high realm.


    ¡°Dongfang,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine took the initiative to speak.


    ¡°You¡¯re really determined to venture into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain again? The time has not yet come, and if you venture deeply into it, even I am not confident of coming out alive,¡± a robust voice echoed in the void.


    ¡°I am nearing the end of my lifespan, and there has been no sign of any breakthrough. Waiting any longer would spell certain death,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine spoke calmly. ¡°By venturing, there is at least a sliver of a chance for life.¡±


    ¡°Fine, since you¡¯ve made up your mind, I won¡¯t persuade you further,¡± the robust voice said.


    ¡°The few tens of thousands of Seven Stars Points that I have left, just transfer them to Li Yuan,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine said with a laugh. ¡°I was delighted to take him as my disciple¡­ yet I couldn¡¯t give him much, nor could I fulfill the responsibilities of a master fully, let it be some compensation then.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve done more than enough,¡± the robust voice said. ¡°The grace of leading one onto the path exceeds heaven¡­ The path of the strong is one they must strive for themselves. Giving too much can, in fact, take away their drive and do more harm than good.¡±


    It was clear that the two held different philosophies on how to nurture their disciples and successors.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not argue over such matters,¡± Lie Feng Semi Divine shook his head. ¡°Can I come to you in three days?¡±


    ¡°You can.¡±


    ¡°As friends, I will see you off one last time, but I can only wish you good luck,¡± the robust voice responded.


    ¡­


    Hu!


    Li Yuan was enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow glow.


    He transformed into a beam of light traveling through the heavens and the earth.


    When he was on the island, the sky was incredibly gloomy, with dense clouds, but as he soared above ten thousand meters in altitude, he was instead surrounded by a radiant splendor.


    ¡°To fly in the sky and burrow in the earth, indeed it¡¯s comfortable,¡± he remarked.


    He had just parted ways with his teacher, and there was a hint of sorrow in Li Yuan¡¯s heart¡­ But he was able to pick up and let go easily, quickly suppressing that thought.


    ¡°Although Teacher Lie Feng is nearing the end of his lifespan, after all, he is a Semi Divine, and he should still have some years left to live,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself. ¡°Once my strength is even greater, I will surely see him again.¡±


    Not long after.


    ¡°East Pole Continent,¡± said Li Yuan as he crossed the vast ocean and already gazed down at the vast land below, densely packed with numerous towns.


    Occasionally, he could see flying vehicles shuttling in the high sky.


    The East Pole Continent was the main continent on Feixing, with a population of nearly twenty billion, incredibly thriving.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring vibrated slightly, signaling that he had received a message.


    ¡°Twenty-seven thousand Seven Stars Points have been transferred to my name?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The efficiency is indeed high!


    With his high level of access, Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring was also specially made, allowing him to stay in contact anywhere on the Seven Great Planets, whether high in the sky or deep in mountain valleys¡ªunimpeded communication was always possible.


    Guided by the map,


    after nearly four hours, Li Yuan flew tens of thousands of kilometers in one go and finally saw the towering and colossal War Fortress at the edge of the land from afar.


    It was the entrance to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan descended rapidly, passing through several open-air checkpoints¡­ His identity information had been automatically verified, enabling him to pass through smoothly.


    He arrived at the base of the War Fortress,


    and landed lightly on the plaza outside the Star Realm corridor. Several flying vehicles were docked, but there weren¡¯t many people coming and going.


    However, Li Yuan had already noticed that many were looking at him.


    ¡°Flying, that¡¯s a Flying Heaven Warrior!¡±


    ¡°But the feeling he gives me isn¡¯t quite right; the pressure of his life force doesn¡¯t seem to be that strong.¡±


    ¡°Could it be a top prodigy from the Seven Star Mountain?¡± many officers and warriors in the distance were discussing in whispers.


    They might have been ordinary in terms of strength, but they were accustomed to super-powerful warriors passing through the entrance to the Martial Divine Star Realm year-round.


    It was only because Li Yuan was somewhat unfamiliar that he sparked discussions.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± A slightly surprised voice came from the entrance of a meeting room in the distance.


    Li Yuan instantly turned to look, a flash of surprise in his eyes, ¡°Dean Hai?¡±


    That¡¯s right.


    The figure standing at the doorway of the distant meeting room, dressed in a blue robe, was none other than Dean Hai of Kunlun Martial University.


    At this moment, he was staring at Li Yuan with a face full of surprise.


    And behind Dean Hai, through the glass of the meeting room, one could see eight or nine young figures, all looking at him with curiosity and awe.


    ¡°It really is Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°I remember him, I saw him in person at last year¡¯s virtual battle,¡± someone remarked.


    ¡°Just now, Li Yuan descended from the sky, flying? Has he become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± The young people were discussing quietly amongst themselves, excited expressions on their faces.


    Their exchanges, with Li Yuan¡¯s powerful perception ability, were easily overheard by him.


    Hu!


    Dean Hai moved swiftly and was already in front of Li Yuan, looking him up and down and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Did you just fly in from outside?¡±


    ¡°Dean, you should be able to sense that I am not yet a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just that I had the good fortune to gather the True Meaning of Earth, allowing me to use it to fly.¡±


    He would naturally not divulit the fact that he had gathered the True Intent of his own accord, but since Dean Hai had seen him, there was no need to hide it, because it would be quickly revealed either way.


    ¡°You¡¯ve gathered the True Intent?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes flickered with shock. ¡°You¡¯re not yet 20 years old, right?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded; he was still two months away from being 20.


    ¡°A Prime Warrior with True Intent and under 20 years of age?¡± Dean Hai felt even more shocked inside.


    He knew what this meant.


    Li Yuan smiled, aware of what Dean Hai was thinking.


    If he knew that Li Yuan had gathered the True Intent at under 19 years of age, he probably would have been dumbfounded.


    ¡°Dean, are you here at the Martial Divine Star Realm for business?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Oh, this year¡¯s global martial arts competition for colleges has just concluded,¡± Dean Hai pointed to the nine figures in the distance, ¡°Them, they¡¯re the young prodigies chosen this year by the Blue Star to enter the Martial Divine Hall¡­ I¡¯m following the principal¡¯s arrangement, responsible for escorting them here.¡±


    ¡°The new crop of prodigies for the Martial Divine Hall?¡±


    ¡°Martial Divine Hall newcomers?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look toward the nine figures in the distance. Under the inquiry of the Divine Palace, their Physical Quality was at most level 25.


    Li Yuan felt somewhat nostalgic for a moment.


    Time really does pass quickly.


    By age, Li Yuan was probably younger than them, but in his eyes¡­ they all seemed like youngsters.


    ¡°Besides that,¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s also hosting duties,¡± continued Dean Hai. ¡°After the war mission for the Xia Country is announced, we¡¯ll try to recruit more members from the Seven Star Mountain to return with us.¡±

    Chapter 450: Chapter 279: Xia Country Seeks Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)


    ¡°`


    ¡°Xia Country¡¯s war mission?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes revealed a look of surprise, ¡°The Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    Studying under Teacher Lie Feng for a year, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t been oblivious to the outside world.


    He occasionally paid attention to major events within the Seven Star Civilization.


    He frequently communicated with many friends through V-chat, and chatted in various V-groups such as ¡®Seven Star Mountain Top Layer Exchange Group,¡¯ ¡®Xia Country Palace Friends Group,¡¯ ¡®2044 Blue Star Group,¡¯ among about a dozen others.


    Some groups were large, some small.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t like to speak up, but he enjoyed lurking. Dantai Feng, for example, loved to post and often forwarded a message to many groups at once.


    Thus, Li Yuan was aware of many things.


    To his knowledge, over the past year, the most intense warfare that the Seven Star Civilization had engaged in externally was in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    The Mingxu Star Realm had several entry and exit points.


    But so far, the main focus had been on expanding through two entry points along Xia Country, which were the number three outpost base that Li Yuan had once visited, and another, the number four outpost base.


    Top-tier geniuses from Seven Star Mountain like Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, Tavares, had already joined the battle.


    It¡¯s important to note that there are only about thirty True Intent Prime Warriors in the entirety of Seven Star Mountain, and over ten have already joined the war¡­ the activity is even greater than during the Fierce Feather Star Realm period.


    After all, among the True Intent Prime Warriors, some need to practice in peace, and some are not too fond of life-and-death battles¡­ Having over ten participate in the war was the result of Xia Country paying a significant price and the push from the alliance¡¯s higher-ups.


    All forces within the Seven Star Civilization hope to carve out a new region for expansion.


    The rich resources of the Mingxu Star Realm are indeed tantalizing.


    ¡°Not the Mingxu Star Realm, it¡¯s the Rob Sea Star Realm,¡± Dean Hai sighed lightly, ¡°A large-scale war has erupted again, even more fierce and brutal than the one more than two years ago.¡±


    ¡°The Rob Sea Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly.


    This was a realm too familiar to him, having heard about it from childhood¡­ and the war from two years ago mentioned by Dean Hai was precisely the one that had injured his uncle.


    ¡°How did I not know?¡± Li Yuan wondered.


    ¡°Alerts were only initiated yesterday, and while the attacks from the Cloud Beast Civilization are massive, the decisive battle hasn¡¯t yet arrived, so the news has only spread within a small area of Xia Country,¡± Dean Hai explained.


    Li Yuan nodded understandingly; indeed, information spread much slower between different planets.


    ¡°Is the pressure that high now?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    Ordinary star realm wars can be resolved by the stationed forces, but if a war mission is issued from Seven Star Mountain¡­ it means local forces are insufficient, and full alliance support is necessary.


    Especially wars in a Second Level Star Realm, when True Intent Prime Warriors join the battle, it often signifies the most brutal and bloody phase.


    ¡°Quite high.¡±


    ¡°The main issue is that too many forces were previously pulled from the Rob Sea due to the outbreak of war in the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Dean Hai lamented, ¡°I¡¯m not a military commander, after all, and I don¡¯t have the details¡­ Once the war mission is dispatched, there will be a detailed explanation, and you should be informed.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan responded with a slight nod.


    Then, Li Yuan looked again at the figures in the distance heading to the conference room, ¡°Dean, why haven¡¯t you entered the Martial Divine Star Realm yet?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re still waiting for the Flying Heaven Warriors within the Martial Divine Star Realm to come and verify identities,¡± Dean Hai shook his head, ¡°The Martial Divine Star Realm isn¡¯t so easy to enter.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback, recalling last year.


    It seemed like the President had just gone straight in¡­ Semi-Divine Level authority is indeed different. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Having been in the Martial Divine Star Realm for so long, Li Yuan had roughly understood that Fang Hai¡¯s status was likely half a rank higher than most Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ essentially equivalent to a Demigod.


    Flying Heaven Warriors were generally divided into four strength levels.


    Flying Heaven at Level 30 and 31 were considered ordinary. Most who remain at this stage were only at Perfection in Fifth Stage Skill¡­ with too weak skills and slow progress in polishing the Origin Pill, advancing further was difficult.


    Level 32, 33, and 34 were often deemed mid-stage Flying Heaven. Those who stayed at this stage for a long time were usually consolidating True Intent.


    Above Level 35 was the peak of Flying Heaven¡­ To refine an Origin Pill to such a level, skill comprehension was already very profound, reaching at least Intermediate Rank or High Rank Sixth Stage Skill.


    Level 36? Also the peak of Flying Heaven, but comes with the position of a Star Master, and one must have at least six Star Pulses awakened to achieve Level 36.


    The difference between Level 35 and 36 is more in the foundation than in strength.


    Without doubt.


    Fang Hai was among the most elite of all Flying Heaven Star Masters¡­ because his skill comprehension was already quite good even among Demigods.


    Like most True Intent Prime Warriors on Seven Star Mountain, the majority of them would ultimately plateau at the peak of Flying Heaven stage, with only a few breaking through to the Level 40 Demigod.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you really shouldn¡¯t take up this Rob Sea war mission,¡± Dean Hai suddenly said.


    ¡°Oh? Why is that?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Although you¡¯ve already condensed True Intent, I¡¯m afraid it hasn¡¯t been long since your breakthrough.¡± Dean Hai looked at Li Yuan, saying, ¡°Many Star Techniques are likely not perfected¡­ your strength has not yet grown to its peak, there¡¯s no need to rashly join the battle.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Obviously, in Dean Hai¡¯s eyes, his strength was still far from sufficient. And being a thorn in the side to many hostile Alien Races, he would risk perishing if he joined the battle.


    ¡°Dean, I will carefully consider it when the war mission comes. I¡¯m going back now, contact me if there¡¯s anything,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, go on.¡±


    ¡­Watching as Li Yuan disappeared into the star realm portal.


    For a moment, Dean Hai was lost in thought, then he sighed softly after a long while, ¡°Li Yuan has already condensed True Intent?¡±


    Dean Hai felt it was almost dreamlike.


    It had only been a year since they last met.


    Considering his age, Li Yuan had only just entered his junior year¡­ On Blue Star, reaching Fifth Stage Skill at this age would be considered top-tier genius.

 Chapter 451: 279: Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)_2

    Chapter 451: Chapter 279: Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Two in One)_2


    Had Li Yuan already condensed the True Intent?


    The difference was too great.


    This time, among the nine new Martial Divine Hall members selected from Blue Star, only one was younger than Li Yuan.


    ¡°His speed in condensing True Intent is even faster than Old Fang,¡± thought Dean Hai with a tinge of expectation, ¡°Could it be that my Kunlun Martial University will, after another decade or two, give birth to another Demigod?¡±


    In the history of Kunlun Martial University, numerous geniuses had emerged, especially before Starfire University, Starry Sky University, and Black Stone University were founded¡­giving rise to a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    But since the establishment of the university up to now, only one Demigod has been born¡ªDongfang Ji.


    After all, up to this day, only three Demigods have been born throughout Xia Country.


    ¡°Is that Senior Li Yuan who just left, Dean Hai?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it is!¡±


    ¡°Is he the Li Yuan who entered the Martial Divine Star Realm last year? Has he already condensed Heavenly Earth True Intent?¡± The nine Blue Star talents had just walked out of the meeting room and stood behind Dean Hai, unable to help themselves but to ask.


    Just now, they had watched Li Yuan flying down.


    ¡°When you enter the Martial Divine Star Realm, you will naturally understand,¡± said Dean Hai with a smile, not intentionally concealing the truth.


    Many so-called secret reports are relative.


    Many pieces of information that are secrets to ordinary Prime Warriors may be common knowledge to Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡­


    The day after returning to Seven Star Mountain.


    Li Yuan held a banquet in the only tavern in the Martial Divine Star Realm, celebrating the end of his ¡®Concealed Cultivation.¡¯ Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He invited many close friends.


    People like Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Alicia, Kross, Yan Jing, and others received invitations; the number of people wasn¡¯t large, only a dozen or so.


    Some were members of Seven Star Mountain, like Yan Jing.


    But most were still just ordinary members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Before the banquet began, everyone was already chatting with each other.


    ¡°Alicia, it¡¯s rare for you to come,¡± Dantai Feng said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve held many banquets before and you were always too lazy to attend¡­ Only when Li Yuan returns to the Martial Divine Star Realm are you willing to come.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t like socializing, I can¡¯t always be eating your food,¡± Alicia responded with bright eyes and a smile.


    A year had passed, and her demeanor became more and more extraordinary.


    Her blonde hair cascaded down, and her bright eyes were like tranquil autumn waters, attracting everyone¡¯s gaze.


    If the past Alicia was already outstanding in appearance, now she had stepped up a level, the entirety of her being faintly exuded an inexplicable charm that made you feel she was more entrancing with every look.


    ¡°Don¡¯t believe Dantai Feng.¡±


    Next to her, Tian Dazhuang grinned and said, ¡°Every time he holds a banquet, it¡¯s because he has made a breakthrough in strength, hosts a banquet when he becomes a Prime Warrior, hosts a banquet when his skills reach the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank¡­ he only wants to show off.¡±


    ¡°Wait until he becomes an elite member, he¡¯ll probably invite several hundred people from the Martial Divine Hall to boast properly,¡± laughed Tian Dazhuang.


    ¡°Dazhuang,¡± Dantai Feng glared at him.


    ¡°Haha,¡± all the people in the hall laughed out loud, after being together for so long, everyone understood each other¡¯s temperament very well.


    Li Yuan watched all this with a smile.


    In the past few years, as his realm and strength had soared rapidly, becoming stronger and stronger, his communication with many good friends from high school and university, like Li Tianyou and Gu Qianghan, had become less and less.


    It was hard to even contact them once every six months, and they had fewer topics in common.


    Even with family members like his uncles and aunts, communications were occasional, just to ask if they were well¡­ but they also had fewer and fewer common topics.


    This was the price of growth.


    It was an inevitable eventuality.


    Even now, people like Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and Jin Huguo, although their strengths were far behind Li Yuan, if there was a chance, Li Yuan still very much enjoyed the times spent joyfully with his friends.


    This group of friends.


    In the year they entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, although their growth rate couldn¡¯t compare to Li Yuan¡¯s¡­their actual progress was not small, their skills had at least stepped into the Fifth Stage Intermediate Rank, and their Physical Quality had also improved greatly.


    It was foreseeable that in a few more years, they would all become extremely powerful Top Grade Origin Martial Artists.


    And among this group of people¡­ the one who truly grew the fastest was not Dantai Feng, but Alicia.


    Her skills, unbeknownst to others, had already reached the Fifth Stage High Rank and even surpassed Yin Man.


    Her Physical Quality had also reached level 26.


    This rate of progression was astonishing even among the members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Without Li Yuan, Alicia would undoubtedly become a rising new star within the Martial Divine Hall.


    ¡°Could it be, I was wrong in my previous assumptions?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Is the one with the greatest potential in this group not Dazhuang, but Alicia?¡±


    As for Tian Dazhuang, his skill level was quickly catching up to that of Dantai Feng¡­ but compared to Alicia, it was still much slower.


    ¡°Brother Yan Jing,¡±


    Li Yuan looked at Yan Jing, who was sitting aside, and smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve heard from quite a few people that Brother has successfully condensed True Intent? Congratulations.¡±


    This was a piece of news Li Yuan had seen in a V-group.


    ¡°Ah,¡± Yan Jing was startled at first, then smiled and said, ¡°It was just a fluke, a fluke to have condensed True Intent.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Yan Jing brother has actually condensed True Intent?¡±


    ¡°Awesome! He must be the second True Intent Origin Martial Artist to emerge from Seven Star Mountain this year.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Bertman recently made a breakthrough,¡± someone added.


    ¡°To achieve Heavenly Earth True Intent, how difficult it is, Brother Yan is only in his thirties,¡± the group who were originally chatting exploded with conversation, their eyes revealing envy.


    They were not very familiar with Yan Jing to begin with; only Jin Huguo and Yan Jing communicated more.


    After all, there was an age difference, and they weren¡¯t familiar in the past.


    But condensing True Intent was completely different¡­ it meant standing among the strongest cohort in Seven Star Mountain.


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, only a few True Intent Origin Martial Artists were born each year, and each one was extraordinary.


    As everyone was congratulating Yan Jing,


    Suddenly,


    Whoosh!


    A figure clad in a fiery red robe appeared at the entrance of the hall: ¡°Li Yuan, sorry for the delay, I am late.¡±

    Chapter 452: Chapter 279: Xia Country Asks for Help! The Fate of Lin Lanyue (Unity)_3


    Instantly, many eyes were drawn to the figure.


    Dressed in a fiery red robe, with long hair fluttering, the entire person seemed like life in full bloom, not in an alluring way, but an unabashed display of vitality and energy.


    ¡°So beautiful.¡±


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen her before.¡± Almost everyone fell silent, holding their breath as they gazed at the newcomer.


    Subconsciously, many couldn¡¯t help but compare her to Alicia.


    You should know.


    In the previous year, Alicia had almost become recognized as the number one beauty in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    As martial artists improve their Life Level, their skin, hair, muscles, and bones constantly transform, becoming exceptionally lovely¡­ but that intrinsic aura and temperament are hard to change.


    Upon comparison, people realized.


    The two were simply at opposite extremes, one as fiery as flames, the other as gentle as water.


    ¡°Lanyue, you¡¯ve arrived.¡± Li Yuan stood up, revealing a hint of a smile, ¡°Come, have a seat.¡±


    ¡°Lanyue? Is it Lin Lanyue?¡±


    ¡°Her?¡± Those like Kross, Si Feng, and Alicia who had participated in the Fierce Feather Star Realm immediately understood who she was.


    ¡°Lin Lanyue, you¡¯ve also joined the Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± Tian Dazhuang, who was sitting to the side, laughed, ¡°If I remember correctly, you and Li Yuan were high school classmates, right? Back then, your relationship seemed quite special.¡±


    ¡°Yes, high school classmates.¡± Lin Lanyue replied with a slight smile, her voice clear and full of vitality.


    At that time, the three of them had all attended the special invitation event at Jiangbei Martial University.


    Therefore, Tian Dazhuang also had some impression of Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°High school classmates?¡±


    ¡°Did Li Yuan just call her Lanyue?¡±


    ¡°These two?¡± Many immediately sensed something was amiss.


    For top talents like them, for a single high school to have produced two, it was almost impossible.


    Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue¡¯s relationship, their way of addressing each other¡­ it was hard not to let one¡¯s thoughts run wild. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    People like Kross, Si Feng, and Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help but glance towards Alicia; they knew her better privately and could vaguely guess Alicia¡¯s feelings for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Everyone, listen to me.¡±


    ¡°I would like to introduce Lin Lanyue, from Blue Star Xia Country; she was specially invited to join the Martial Divine Hall a few days ago.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I hope everyone will have more interaction in the future.¡±


    Lin Lanyue also nodded with a smile towards everyone.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Specially invited?¡± Everyone was somewhat surprised, especially talents like Dantai Feng with deep backgrounds and high awareness of the difficulty of being specially invited.


    Alicia also looked on with a smile.


    ¡°Alicia, your rival has come, and I¡¯m certain she has her sights set on Li Yuan.¡± A youthful voice echoed in Alicia¡¯s mind, ¡°Moreover, I sense a very unpleasant aura on her¡­ the aura of a True Phoenix. She must have awakened the True Phoenix Bloodline, and I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s close to pureblood.¡±


    ¡°True Phoenix?¡± Alicia responded in confusion.


    ¡°A kind of Divine Beast.¡± The youthful voice said, ¡°An adult can become a Divine Being.¡±


    ¡°Although she¡¯s not pureblood, having such a rich bloodline will give her an astonishing affinity with the Fire element, making her a potential Demigod.¡±


    ¡°I suspect that the World within Worlds we encountered before was left by a Divine Level True Phoenix, and this little one called Lin Lanyue has received the Divine Being Inheritance.¡± The youthful voice continued, ¡°That¡¯s why she has been specially invited to join.¡±


    A potential Demigod? Divine Being Inheritance? Alicia was inwardly shocked, knowing what this implied.


    ¡°Li Yuan is so outstanding, isn¡¯t it normal for her to like him?¡± Alicia said calmly, ¡°It just proves my own good judgment.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried you won¡¯t be able to compete?¡± The youthful voice teased.


    ¡°Love isn¡¯t something you can fight over.¡± Alicia replied calmly, ¡°Besides, cultivation is the foundation.¡±


    ¡°I do like Li Yuan, but becoming a Divine Being is my ultimate goal.¡±


    ¡°Haha, that¡¯s more like it.¡± The youthful voice laughed, ¡°Once you¡¯re a Demigod, becoming a Divine Being¡­ you¡¯ll naturally understand that love and affection are just embellishments in your long life.¡±


    However, what the youthful voice couldn¡¯t see was the resolute gleam that flashed deep within Alicia¡¯s eyes.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, the banquet ended.


    People bid their farewells to Li Yuan and left one after another.


    Lin Lanyue stayed till the end.


    Numerous service robots cleaned up the entire banquet hall¡­ Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue also stepped out of the restaurant and came to the plaza outside, where a gentle breeze was blowing, quite comfortably.


    ¡°Lanyue, congratulations on your apprenticeship.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Having gained the approval of the Boundary Spirit, your progress must be substantial.¡±


    Li Yuan had long employed Divine Palace Inquiry, confirming that Lin Lanyue¡¯s Physical Quality had reached level 23.


    ¡°It was also luck that I managed to endure six Fire Refining Nirvana trials, which fully awakened my bloodline, leading to this progress.¡± Lin Lanyue laughed, not concealing anything and recounted her experiences in the Hall of Inheritance.


    First, because Li Yuan himself is the successor to an Earth System Divine Being Inheritance.


    Secondly, Lin Lanyue trusted Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    When he heard Lin Lanyue speak calmly about the torturous pain of ¡®Fire Refining Nirvana,¡¯


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but glance at Lin Lanyue, unable to detect any emotional fluctuations on her face¡­ Lin Lanyue talked as if she was recounting someone else¡¯s pain.


    For the first time, Li Yuan felt a strong conviction in Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart.


    No one could go through such an ordeal without a powerful belief to sustain them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, to you and many others, I must seem like one of those exceedingly lucky people.¡± Lin Lanyue suddenly smiled.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± asked Li Yuan.


    ¡°My mother is an elder of the Blazing Flame Family in the Flying Heaven Realm.¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile, ¡°My father is also a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ As a youngster, my talent wasn¡¯t considered high, but with my parents¡¯ support, my cultivation speed was decent¡­ later, in my senior year of high school, I was lucky to awaken a trace of the True Phoenix Bloodline, eventually relying on my bloodline to become a named disciple of a Divine Being.¡±

    ¡°It seems like it¡¯s all due to good luck,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Be it bloodline or fate, so-called luck is indeed a part of cultivation.¡±


    Lucky?


    Would you say that awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was a stroke of good luck?


    Would someone like Principal Fang Hai, with his exceptional talent, be considered lucky?


    ¡°My mother was the youngest Flying Heaven Warrior and the one with the purest bloodline in the Blazing Flame Family,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes flashed with a tinge of reminiscence, ¡°She was originally arranged by the family to marry another elder¡­ to produce an offspring with an even purer bloodline.¡±


    ¡°But my mother fell in love with my father, who was just a Prime Warrior at the time.¡±


    ¡°They married in secret and had my older brother, which infuriated the Blazing Flame Family, but they couldn¡¯t stop it¡­ Later, shortly after I was born, my mother was gravely injured in a major battle and returned to Blazing Flame City to recuperate,¡± Lin Lanyue said, ¡°But my older brother, my second brother, and I, none of us awakened the True Phoenix Bloodline¡­ which left the Blazing Flame Family thoroughly disappointed, and they used her recovery as an excuse to imprison my mother and prevent our family from reuniting.¡±


    ¡°Even after my father later became a Flying Heaven Warrior, it didn¡¯t change the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s decision,¡± Lin Lanyue said somberly.


    Li Yuan pondered thoughtfully.


    He understood why the Blazing Flame Family made such a decision.


    For a family like that, the interests of the clan outweighed the individual¡¯s.


    If two Flying Heaven Warriors with pure bloodlines were to marry, it could potentially give rise to several more Flying Heaven Warriors for the family¡­ and even produce an offspring who meets the requirements for a Divine Being Inheritance.


    You see, the original intention of the Demigod who founded the Blazing Flame Family in Flame City was to produce an offspring with a bloodline that meets the Boundary Spirit¡¯s requirements.


    If a Flying Heaven Elder breaks the clan rules without facing any punishment, how could they command the respect of their fellow clanspeople?


    ¡°My father was off at war all year round, and my older brothers commenced their own lives once they grew up,¡± Lin Lanyue said calmly, ¡°Originally, my father wanted to send me to the city to study, but I didn¡¯t want to go and stayed in the Guan Mountain District.¡±


    ¡°After all, that¡¯s where all my childhood memories are.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately recalled Gu Qianghan mentioning that Lin Lanyue had been living on her own since elementary school. (Chapter 61)


    Perhaps her living conditions were also quite comfortable.


    But Lin Lanyue¡¯s heart must have been very lonely.


    ¡°So from a young age, you¡¯ve worked hard and endured the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s rigorous training, the numerous trials and torments in World within Worlds, all to reunite your family?¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    He knew that Lin Lanyue had always trained hard, although not quite keeping up with his ¡¯24-hour¡¯ training. (Chapter 98)


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°But this goal was achieved the moment my father became a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, and I awakened my bloodline,¡± Lin Lanyue said, ¡°My mother was then released and reinstated as an elder.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in realization.


    Indeed, he was unaware of these secrets.


    ¡°When I first entered World within Worlds, I quietly vowed that once I became a disciple of a Divine Being, and later a Demigod who would take control of the Blazing Flame Family, I would sweep away all the archaic and bad customs of the family,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes were resolute, and her voice filled with conviction.


    Li Yuan now understood.


    This, most likely, was Lin Lanyue¡¯s inner obsession, supporting her every step of the way up to today.


    Awakening her bloodline was her luck.


    But without this conviction, she could never have overcome so many obstacles to reach a complete Transformation.


    ¡°The hardest times are already behind you; I believe you¡¯ll definitely become a Demigod,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you,¡± Lin Lanyue looked at Li Yuan with a grateful smile, ¡°for being willing to listen to me ramble for so long.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been bottled up for so long; now that I¡¯ve said it, I feel much better.¡±

    Li Yuan watched Lin Lanyue depart on a flying vehicle.


    Standing in the plaza, facing the breeze, he contemplated for a long while.


    ¡°Everyone has their own pursuit.¡±


    ¡°Having an obsession, a pursuit, and persevering in it makes one more likely to achieve great success,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Immediately after, a hint of determination appeared in his eyes, ¡°I need to perfect my Star Technique as soon as possible, so I can set off for the Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    Just then.


    Li Yuan had received detailed instructions and requirements regarding the ¡®Rob Sea Star Realm guard mission.¡¯


    After briefly reviewing the details,


    Li Yuan made his decision¡ªto accept the mission.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan shot into the sky, soaring toward the undulating mountain range above.


    This scene was immediately witnessed by many members of the Martial Divine Hall who had just come out of the lecture buildings.


    ¡°Flying?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a True Intent Prime Warrior!¡±


    ¡°How do I see it, it appears to be Li Yuan?¡± These Martial Divine Hall members were somewhat shocked.


    Li Yuan had a significant reputation in the Martial Divine Star Realm, completely on par with Lude Nef, and perhaps even more renowned.


    Rapidly,


    ¡®Li Yuan has condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth¡¯ spread like a hurricane among the thousands of Martial Divine Hall members.

 Chapter 454: 280: The Power of Li Yuan! Star Technique Cultivation (Request for Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 454: Chapter 280: The Power of Li Yuan! Star Technique Cultivation (Request for Monthly Pass)


    News of Li Yuan¡¯s condensation of the true intent of heaven and earth spread wildly in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan has broken through?¡±


    ¡°Condensing true intent? How old is he? He¡¯s only a little behind Bertman, right?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say. When he climbed Seven Star Mountain, his strength was much stronger than Bertman. Maybe he broke through even earlier and just never leaked the news.¡± The discussions were rife.


    Especially for Dantai Feng, Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Yan Jing, and the others, they were even more astonished because they had just been at a gathering, congratulating Yan Jing on condensing the true intent of heaven and earth.


    They never expected that in just a short while, news of Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough would come, making them feel a bit strange.


    During the banquet, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t revealed a thing.


    However, regardless, over a thousand members of the Martial Divine Hall already knew.


    Li Yuan, this peerless genius who set the youngest record on Seven Star Mountain, had, after one year, once again made the record of ¡®the youngest true intent Origin Warrior in the Seven Star Civilization¡¯, firmly standing at the peak ranks of Seven Star Mountain.


    The members of the Martial Divine Hall vaguely divided into four levels: ordinary disciples, elite disciples, ordinary Seven Star Mountain members, and true intent Origin Warriors.


    Elite disciples usually compare favorably with the top-grade Origin Martial Artists of the outside world, and are even stronger.


    Ordinary Seven Star Mountain members at least, reach the threshold of Fifth Stage Perfection in skill realm, and possess the strength of a Flying Heaven Warrior, just without the ability to fly.


    There were about thirty true intent Origin Warriors in total. Each of them could fly and escape through the earth, with every one being able to suppress an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior. The more powerful among them could even kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, and now Li Yuan belonged to this level.


    At the pinnacle stood, first Lude Nef and now Yu Jinghe.


    Both of them had proven through action that they had the power to contend against a group of ordinary Flying Heavens single-handedly.


    ¡­


    In the villa mansion on Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°These guys.¡± Li Yuan looked at the messages being passed around by more than a dozen people in the group, all talking about him becoming a true intent Origin Warrior.


    He closed the V chat.


    He calmed down for a while.


    ¡°The Rob Sea war has caused heavy casualties, and many from Xia Country are heading there to reinforce.¡± Li Yuan suddenly recalled seeing the detailed introduction to the battle situation a moment ago, and a surge of nameless anger arose in his heart.


    Defending the homeland had been his ideal since childhood.


    Due to his uncle¡¯s incident, his hatred for the Alien Race deep in the Rob Sea Star Realm intensified, and he had once sworn that one day he would enter deep into the Rob Sea Star Realm for revenge.


    Now, with the outbreak of a new round of war, Li Yuan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.


    He decided to take action.


    This was also a form of real combat training.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, Wu Manong, and the others are trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°If I don¡¯t act, probably only one or two true intent Origin Warriors from Seven Star Mountain will accept the mission to go. It might not be enough to win this battle.¡±


    The Rob Sea war might seem fierce, but as it didn¡¯t touch upon the foundation of the Seven Star Alliance, the higher-ups of the alliance wouldn¡¯t make demands, leaving it entirely up to the geniuses of Seven Star Mountain to volunteer for the war.


    ¡°If I join the battle, once the news leaks, I fear it will prompt the top talents of the Tianliang Clan to make a move, seeking to kill me.¡± Li Yuan contemplated, a glint in his eyes: ¡°Then, I must reach my current limit of strength as much as possible.¡±


    Hum~


    The smart ring vibrated, and Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look down.


    ¡°Oh? The Martial Divine Hall has changed my Seven Star Mountain ranking to 32nd?¡± Li Yuan mused, receiving a notice from the highest level of the Martial Divine Hall.


    Over the past year, he had been following Lie Feng Semi Divine in his cultivation and hadn¡¯t participated in any missions. Without anyone knowing his true strength, naturally, his ranking wouldn¡¯t rise.


    ¡°32nd?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, scanning the Divine Palace panel.


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 29.9 (Second Rank)]


    Fist Strength: 1,002,200 kilograms


    Speed: 420 meters/second


    Spiritual Power: 36.9


    Willpower: 36


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 45% (current upper limit 45%)


    Star Meridian: Five-Star Meridian (10 Layers+6 Layers+5 Layers+5 Layers+4 Layers)


    Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Wind (Fifth Stage 98%), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 3%), Mysteries of Wood (Fifth Stage 2%)


    Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡±: First Order Level 9 (9)


    Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡±: Second Order Level 5 (10)


    ¡­


    ¡°My Life Level has long reached the Second Order Limit.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°To make my foundational strength stronger, I either have to cultivate a stronger Body Refining Star Technique or break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    But with just five-star meridians and still a bit away from the six-star pulse, Li Yuan naturally would not break through. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Reaching the six-star meridian is already so difficult, let alone getting to seven star veins and eight star veins ¨C how much more difficult could that be?¡± Li Yuan sighed to himself.


    In the past year, apart from deducing and contemplating the mysteries of heaven and earth, Li Yuan had also never relaxed in his visualization method and awakening of star meridians.


    However, awakening star meridians became increasingly difficult as he progressed. Over the year, the five awakened star meridians had indeed grown stronger, with even the weakest reaching the Fourth Layer¡­ yet he had still not formed a new star meridian.


    Of course, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too anxious.


    Regarding cultivation, whether it was star meridian awakening or growth in spiritual power and many other aspects, it all became more and more difficult as one progressed.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, like Lude Nef, it took several years just to reach five-star meridians¡­ then more than a decade to awaken to the level of a six-star pulse.


    In comparison, Li Yuan¡¯s speed of star meridian awakening was already astounding.


    Star meridian awakening is related to one¡¯s inherent star meridian talent, spiritual power, skill prowess, and other factors.


    ¡°If my spiritual power reaches the Semi Divine level, that would significantly enhance my actual combat power.¡± Li Yuan shook his head internally: ¡°It would also speed up the awakening of star meridians, and maybe even bring the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening to 50%, allowing for a second Spiritual Guidance.¡±


    Alas, that was even harder to reach.


    Even with practicing Visualization Method, spiritual power had entered a sort of major bottleneck after the breakthrough at level 36¡­ progress becoming slower and slower.


    The same was true.


    To date, Li Yuan had no clear idea of how much spiritual power was needed to raise the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening¡­ it all remained unknown.


    ¡°Enhancing strength essentially comes down to four aspects: foundation, weapons, skill realm, and star techniques.¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Skill Realm? In the past year, Li Yuan made astounding progress in the Wind Vein.


    In the aspect of the True Meaning of Earth, it seemed to remain at the Initial Rank of the Sixth Stage, but in reality, he had made tremendous progress, or else he wouldn¡¯t have been able to combine the two Mysteries with each other.


    Even during his perception of the world¡¯s Mysteries, without realizing it, he had already made preliminary entries into the Mysteries of Water and the Mysteries of Wood¡­ but that was merely an entry-level understanding.


    This was all quite normal, as the operation of all things and the Mysteries of the world are inherently a whole.


    According to what Li Yuan knew, for example, a Fire System Semi Divine who had cultivated for hundreds of years, often unknowingly reached Perfection Level of the Fifth Stage in many aspects like the Mystery of Wind, the Mystery of Metal, and so on.


    This is one law leading to the birth of thousands of others.


    However, after Li Yuan had briefly attempted, he confirmed that his talent in the Mysteries of Water and the Mysteries of Wood was quite ordinary and had not deliberately distracted himself with further contemplation¡­ Even with all his confidence, he didn¡¯t believe he could succeed in mastering the four Great Laws concurrently.


    ¡°In terms of skills.¡±


    ¡°Unless the True Meaning of Earth steps into the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage, or the Mystery of Wind condenses true intent, a significant change in the short term will be difficult.¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Understanding the Mysteries of the world cannot be forced.¡±


    ¡°Only weapons and Star Techniques are left.¡±


    ¡­


    After pondering for a while.


    ¡°Other Level 29 Origin Warriors can often only cultivate one or two Star Techniques.¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°But I first cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique making my body¡¯s foundation extremely strong, and the Star Meridians also incredibly powerful, perhaps allowing me to cultivate an additional Star Technique.¡±


    Li Yuan was not entirely sure, he could only try.


    Among the many Star Techniques he had been taught, the one Li Yuan chose was the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Shadow Division Technique.¡±


    There were three reasons.


    First, once he achieved some success in cultivation, it would make his ultimate move ¡®Shadow Domain¡¯ more terrifying and unpredictable.


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s strongest move; naturally, he wanted to make the strong point even stronger.


    Second, in times of danger, using ¡°Shadow Division Technique¡± could also serve as a cover, and although not as directly enhancing speed and movement technique like the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Wind Feather¡±, it could play a significant role in saving his life.


    Third, the Fifth Layers Star Technique ¡°Shadow Division Technique¡± and the Seven Stars Technique ¡°Ninefold Shadow Clone¡± stem from the same lineage. In the future, as his Star Meridians grow stronger, he would be able to cultivate ¡°Ninefold Shadow Clone¡± without any obstacles.


    ¡°Even though Star Techniques can be re-cultivated, the deeper one¡¯s practice, the more profound the price to pay for each re-cultivation, and it can also have an impact on the body.¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°In choosing a Star Technique, one must be extremely careful.¡±


    Other Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors might not care as much.


    After all, for most Flying Heaven Warriors, being able to cultivate a Seventh Layers Star Technique is already very precious.


    But the goal Li Yuan set for himself was to cultivate at least a Seventh Layers Star Technique for each Star Meridian, or to practice ordinary Star Techniques that wouldn¡¯t affect his future.


    Better to have none than to have something flawed.


    ¡­


    ¡°To cultivate ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯, one method is to rely on oneself, using Origin Power within the body¡­ To cultivate to the First Order Limit it would take a minimum of three months, or as long as six months.¡± Li Yuan was reading the various requirements of this Star Technique, ¡°To cultivate to the Second Order Limit would take between one and three years.¡±


    Three months? Three years?


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait that long.¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°I must think of a way to use external objects to assist in cultivation.¡±


    Generally, low-level Star Techniques and common Star Techniques can be cultivated without external objects, but it would require a lot of time.


    However, for high-level Star Techniques, such as ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± and ¡°Ninefold Shadow Clone¡± and so on, they need a large number of precious and rare treasures¡­ without such treasures, even with Li Yuan¡¯s awakening of the Seventh Layers Star Vein, he could at most slowly cultivate them to the First Order Limit, making them almost impossible to cultivate to the current limit.


    ¡­


    Virtual network, Starfire Space.


    ¡°53,500 Seven Stars Points?¡± Li Yuan opened the Seven Star Treasure Vault and looked at his points page, unwittingly revealing a smile.


    There were the 30,000 Seven Stars Points given by the Dean.


    And the 20,000 points gifted by the Semi Divine Lie Feng¡­ for the time being, he was indeed not lacking in points.


    After a quick browse through many vaults.


    ¡°Purchase 30 units of ¡®Wind Source Marrow¡¯, costing 1,200 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Purchase in a short time, enough external treasures to cultivate ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, costing 8,600 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Also purchase a set of Third Rank high-quality Battle Garment, among other life-saving items¡­ totaling 2,100 Seven Stars Points.¡± Li Yuan quickly placed his orders.


    Tens of thousands of Seven Stars Points were spent just like that.


    The second Star Meridian was close to awakening to the Seventh Layers, so Li Yuan had to prepare in advance for cultivating ¡°Great Earth Divine Body.¡±


    ¡­


    Just six hours later, the many treasures Li Yuan needed were urgently sent over, escorted by two Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Also delivered were.


    Six bottles of Divine Spirit Liquid, enough for Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation needs for the next half year.


    ¡­


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin cultivation.¡± Li Yuan received the many treasures and, without much hesitation, began trying to cultivate the ¡°Shadow Division Technique.¡±


    After a brief try.


    ¡°Haha, as expected, I can enter the threshold.¡± A light flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes; his strong physical foundation indeed allowed him to cultivate more Star Techniques.


    He continued to cultivate patiently.


    ¡­


    As time passed, three days later.


    In the war base outside of the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside a conference room.


    ¡°Alas.¡±


    ¡°Just as I expected, not many are willing to join the battle.¡± Dean Hai sighed internally, ¡°Only three members from Seven Star Mountain have accepted the mission, and all are ranked after the 50th position.¡±


    Those ranked after 50 were not True Intent Origin Martial Artists, hence not much help in the battle.


    What Dean Hai hoped for was to have True Intent Origin Warriors participate in the battle.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm, two more Seven Star Mountain members have accepted the mission?¡± Dean Hai suddenly received the notification, ¡°Rank 31? Rank 32?¡±


    A glimmer of hope crossed his mind, ¡°Are these two, True Intent Origin Warriors?¡±

    ¡°`


    Seven Star Mountain, in the Martial Arts Room of the villa residence.


    The Martial Arts Room belonging to Seven Star Mountain members was even more massive compared to those of ordinary and elite members.


    Both the length and width reached one kilometer, and the height was an astonishing 200 meters¡­ Such a vast Martial Arts Room was enough for a Prime Warrior practicing True Intent to cultivate moves.


    Li Yuan was standing in the center of the Martial Arts Room.


    Whoosh!~ Accompanied by an invisible fluctuation, Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, and instantly he split into two shadows, wearing clothes of identical design, completely indistinguishable to the naked eye.


    Two Li Yuans


    Boom! Boom!


    Both shadows moved at the same time, instantly bursting out with terrifying speed. In a mere blink, they had both dashed hundreds of meters across the ground.


    Immediately after, one of the Li Yuan¡¯s shadows moved again.


    The two shadows instantly became three.


    ¡°This ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯ cultivated to the Second Order Limit is truly astonishing in its effectiveness. It actually allows me to invoke the Mystery of Wind and form two Phantom Bodies in an instant,¡± Li Yuan thought in amazement: ¡°Before I started cultivating, I could hardly form even one Phantom Body.¡±


    The Mystery of Wind has many aspects that one could explore, some of which are inclined towards speed, pursuing extreme Burst Speed.


    Some tend towards ¡®Shadow Stealth,¡¯ like Lude Nef, who specializes in this path, extremely adept at assassinating his opponents.


    However, from the beginning, Li Yuan was aiming at integrating with the Mysteries of Earth, emphasizing the ¡®Phantom Body¡¯ aspect of the Mysteries of Wind, sharing similarities with Lude Nef¡¯s path, yet not entirely the same.


    ¡°A normal Fifth Stage Perfection¡¯s comprehension, forming even one Phantom Body is difficult.¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile: ¡°Yet with the help of Star Technique, I managed to form two Phantom Bodies.¡±


    ¡°And each Phantom Body possesses a certain degree of attacking power, with even more deceiving qualities,¡± he continued.


    Star Technique, in essence, is about maximizing the potential of one¡¯s body and the comprehension of the mysteries of heaven and earth to make oneself perform at two hundred, or even three hundred percent strength.


    ¡°Combining the Mysteries of Earth and Wind,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved again, invoking the True Meaning of Earth. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom!


    Within a few tens of meters, fine yellow streams of earthy energy formed, as the three Li Yuans in the Domain employed their movement technique, moving unpredictably and with shocking speed.


    ¡°In the Domain, the Phantom Body is like a fish in water,¡± he remarked.


    ¡°On their own, my True Meaning of Earth and Mystery of Wind would not be considered strong among Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered with anticipation: ¡°But combined, in terms of pure skill, I should be approaching many Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°I chose the right path,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The deeper one goes in skill comprehension, the harder it becomes.


    Talented individuals like Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe, young leaders of a generation in the Seven Star Civilization, took over 10 years just to advance the Mysteries of True Intent from Initial Rank of Sixth Stage to the Intermediate Rank.


    During his year following Lie Feng Semi Divine, Li Yuan dedicated most of his effort to the comprehension of the Mystery of Wind.


    If he had focused on the comprehension of the Mystery of Earth, with Li Yuan¡¯s training pace, one could say that there was a certain hope to advance the True Meaning of Earth to the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage¡­ but that wasn¡¯t a sure thing either.


    Even if he did break through with the True Meaning of Earth, his overall strength would still be far less than it is now.


    ¡°Combination of Mysteries, has its pros and cons,¡± Li Yuan mused: ¡°But at least for now, combining the two Mysteries of heaven and earth seem to promote each other, the advantages outweighing the disadvantages.¡±


    Whew!


    With a thought, the two Phantom Bodies Li Yuan had manifested dissipated.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°The mission application has been approved?¡± Li Yuan glanced down at the smart ring on his hand.


    Applying for a mission also needed upper-level approval to qualify to participate in battle.


    ¡°Time to go.¡± Li Yuan quickly packed up his belongings and then headed to the palace exterior.


    Swoosh!


    Turning into a streak of light, he flew toward the entrance to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Not long after.


    After passing through the identity check at the entrance, Li Yuan smoothly entered the passage¡­ Ordinary members of Martial Divine Hall were not allowed to leave at will without permission.


    ¡­In the wartime base outside.


    Inside a conference room.


    ¡°Haha, Yan Jing, it turns out to be you.¡± Dean Hai laughed: ¡°I was guessing who had taken the mission, never would have thought it was you.¡±


    ¡°I must also congratulate you on successfully condensing True Intent,¡± Dean Hai laughingly continued: ¡°To become a True Intent Prime Warrior, you¡¯re among the elite in the Martial Divine Star Realm, no doubt stronger than me in the future, and the school will be proud of you.¡±


    ¡°The student dares not,¡± Yan Jing laughed: ¡°I can only say I haven¡¯t disgraced the school.¡±


    ¡°The student also didn¡¯t expect, Dean Hai, that it would be you coming to pick us up,¡± he added.


    Apart from Li Yuan, Yan Jing and Jin Huguo have been the most outstanding students at Kunlun Martial University in recent decades.


    Yan Jing was from the Second Academy and was not one of Dean Hai¡¯s students.


    But now seeing each other again, they felt a sense of closeness.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just condensed True Intent, are you sure you¡¯re up for it?¡± Dean Hai inquired, still somewhat worried.


    ¡°Rest assured, Dean Hai.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been cultivating my Star Technique to the utmost for many years,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile: ¡°Now that True Intent has broken through, with just a little adaptation, I¡¯ll be able to exert my strength to the fullest.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± nodded Dean Hai: ¡°You¡¯re Seven Star Mountain 31, do you know who 32 is? Is it a True Intent Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°32? Number 32 also applied for combat?¡± Yan Jing was taken aback at first.


    He hadn¡¯t seen the latest rankings of Seven Star Mountain yet.


    Suddenly, Yan Jing thought of news from a few days ago and a figure he was considering mentioning¡­


    ¡°Dean Hai, Brother Yan Jing,¡± a voice came from the door.


    Then, a figure appeared, dressed in a black Battle Garment.


    ¡°Li Yuan? It¡¯s really you!¡± Yan Jing brightened up.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Dean Hai was astounded.


    ¡­


    The arrival of Li Yuan took both Yan Jing and Dean Hai by surprise.


    Soon Dean Hai realized.

    Chapter 456: Chapter 281: Arriving at the Rob Sea_2


    Yan Jing broke through not long ago and was promoted to number 31¡­ Li Yuan seemed to have just broken through, so naturally, he should be promoted to number 32.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯re taking this a bit lightly.¡±


    Dean Hai said solemnly, ¡°The pressure of war in the Rob Sea is indeed great, but after all, it hasn¡¯t reached the brink of life or death¡­ It¡¯s not time for you to take risks recklessly.¡±


    Some very important missions can lead to the higher-ups of the alliance to order the talents of Seven Star Mountain to participate in the war compulsorily.


    Places like Fierce Feather Star Realm, Mingxu Star Realm¡­ barely qualify as such tasks.


    The war in Rob Sea Star Realm? It is also important, but even if we lose once, it will at most affect the local area¡­ it won¡¯t have a huge impact on the entire Seven Star Civilization, so the alliance will not issue compulsory orders.


    After all, there are only so many talents from Seven Star Mountain; they need a lot of time to train. If they are to fight in every small and big war in the Second Level Star Realms, the death rate will soar¡­ which is not beneficial for the long-term development of the entire civilization.


    Good steel must be used on the blade¡¯s edge.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just broken through recently, what you should do is concentrate on cultivation and solidify your foundation.¡± Dean Hai said gravely.


    He knew about Li Yuan¡¯s grudge with the Alien Race in Rob Sea Star Realm¡­ which was why, during their meeting two days ago, he urged Li Yuan not to apply for any missions.


    ¡°Dean, I am confident.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that we have to wait for another Seven Star Mountain member to arrive before we set off?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, how about we have a sparring match in this brief time?¡±


    ¡°Spar with me?¡± A glint flashed in Dean Hai¡¯s eyes, as if he was sizing up Li Yuan all over again.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Jing¡¯s eyes as well.


    You should know, Dean Hai is not some newly advanced Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ his strength is extraordinary.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, I won¡¯t use any Star Technique, and I will also hold back some power, as long as you can withstand my attack.¡± Dean Hai said in a deep voice, ¡°Then I will agree for you to join the battle, otherwise¡­ I will definitely report to the principal and revoke your mission qualification.¡±


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    ¡­


    The bottom of this battle station base.


    There¡¯s a vast space for combat and practice.


    Just in terms of space size, it¡¯s even bigger than the Martial Arts Room in Li Yuan¡¯s Seven Star Mountain, and the material of the combat space is special, fully able to withstand the sparring of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Inside the combat space, Li Yuan and Dean Hai stand hundreds of meters apart, with only Yan Jing as a spectator.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan instantly used the Body Refining Star Technique, transforming his body to three meters tall, his entire being emitting a robust and powerful aura.


    Third Rank top quality Battle Garment flowed like water over his entire body, covering even his head completely, with scales all black, only the surface faintly streaked with a tinge of earthy yellow glow.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong aura.¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes brightened; as a formidable individual, he naturally sensed the change in Li Yuan¡¯s life force.


    With this Body Refining Star Technique, it pushed Li Yuan¡¯s physical foundation soaring to the threshold of the Flying Heaven Level.


    Boom!


    Dean Hai no longer held back, a flicker of his form and he had already moved in front of Li Yuan.


    Swish~ A streak of blue saber light tore through the vast sky, attacking Li Yuan like lightning.


    ¡°Clang!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s form moved like a gust of wind, and as he thrust forward with his long spear, he struck the saber light, blocking this terrifying strike.


    The two immediately engaged in a fierce fight.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Nine consecutive slashes of saber light exploded like endless waves, and as they struck, Li Yuan felt as if he were enveloped by an endless flow of water¡­ this was the Mystery of Water¡¯s True Meaning.


    Immediately, he was forced back, step by step. Li Yuan¡¯s form flickered nine times and had already retreated hundreds of meters.


    Nine collisions made it clear to Li Yuan that he couldn¡¯t withstand it by force.


    Dean Hai, after all, was at level 34, and even without deploying Star Techniques and holding back his power¡­ his strength was still terrifying.


    ¡°Shadow Domain.¡± Li Yuan directly executed his trump card.


    Rumble~


    Streams of earthy yellow energy burst forth in an instant, enveloping an area of dozens of meters, followed by Li Yuan splitting into three, with three phantom bodies simultaneously wielding long spears and attacking Dean Hai with shouts.


    ¡°Phantom Body?¡±


    ¡°To form so many phantoms within a domain?¡± Dean Hai was caught off guard, and his Divine Sense swept over them, unable to differentiate¡­ If phantoms formed by the Fifth Layers Star Technique could be so easily identified, that would be too weak.


    Boom!


    Dean Hai also erupted in an instant, with water currents arising from nowhere, surging and colliding towards all directions, while another combat saber appeared in his left hand.


    ¡°Clang, clang, clang, clang!¡±


    The shadow of the spears and saber light, like flowing water, collided; the thrusts of the three long spears were too fast.


    For a time, even Dean Hai found it somewhat difficult to counter, completely entangled by Li Yuan.


    Yan Jing, standing afar and watching the battle, was utterly shocked by the scene: ¡°Li Yuan, he can actually fight Dean Hai to this extent?¡±


    Even though Dean Hai had put away many of his techniques.


    But the skill and mystery unleashed were real!


    ¡°Too amazing,¡± Yan Jing marveled silently, ¡°If Li Yuan were to go all out in a fight against me¡­ I¡¯m afraid I would lose my life in just a few exchanges.¡±


    The two mysteries combined.


    With three star techniques enhancing his body¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s combat power had reached a terrifying level.


    Finally.


    ¡°Domain!¡± Dean Hai erupted, having been suppressed by Li Yuan all along, this also caused him some loss of face; the water around him turned incredibly violent in an instant, with its power increasing by more than tenfold.


    Boom¡ª


    The violent water flow swept across the vast sky, like numerous water dragons slaughtering their way through, tearing apart the domain¡¯s air currents formed by Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, annihilating them layer by layer.


    Following that, the savage water flow struck towards Li Yuan¡¯s three phantom bodies.


    ¡­


    After more than ten seconds, Li Yuan gave up resistance.


    ¡°Dean Hai, I¡¯ve lost,¡± Li Yuan spread his hands, but he couldn¡¯t hide the smile on his face.


    ¡°What have you lost?¡±


    ¡°I had to use my domain star technique to defeat you,¡± Dean Hai shook his head and said with a sigh, ¡°I¡¯m getting old.¡±


    ¡°Your move just now, that should be a combination of two mysteries, right?¡± Dean Hai couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    There was no need to hide this; any normal Flying Heaven Warrior who fought against him would be able to tell, unless they were a fool.


    ¡°Dean, do I qualify to join the battle now?¡± Li Yuan asked with a smile.


    ¡°You do,¡± Dean Hai said with emotion, ¡°I really don¡¯t know how you practice, you¡¯ve been in the Martial Divine Star Realm for just one year, right? How could your strength have increased so much?¡±


    ¡°Brother Li Yuan,¡± Yan Jing flew over as well, his face full of shock, ¡°With your strength, even Yu Jinghe might not be your match.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    In terms of physical quality, techniques, star techniques, weaponry¡­ he was no less than Yu Jinghe in every aspect; naturally, his overall strength could rival, or even overcome, his opponent.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu and I have our strengths, I suppose,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°In terms of absolute offensive power, he should be stronger than me.¡±


    The True Meaning of Metal, is exceptionally good at attacking.


    A while later.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Another Seven Star Mountain member has arrived, let¡¯s get ready to go,¡± Dean Hai said, ¡°Li Yuan, keep your true strength hidden for now¡­ Yan Jing, you too.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    Ten hours later.


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and three other Seven Star Mountain members, followed Dean Hai and arrived at the entrance to the Rob Sea Star Realm channel of Xia Country.


    The land was vast and desolate, with sand filling the skies.


    The setting sun, bloody red, dyed the horizon into a magnificent sea of crimson¡­ Numerous gigantic war fortresses stood tall, along with many towers of weaponry, and countless shapes of the mechanical legions, creating a spectacular sight.


    High in the sky.


    ¡°To see so many war bases gathered in one place, this is my first time,¡± Yan Jing couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Me too, I¡¯ve only seen it in videos before,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, a mysterious light flickering in his eyes, his heart filled with a surge of pride.


    His childhood dreams, without realizing it, were already coming true.


    ¡°Those three ordinary members of Seven Star Mountain have already been sent off,¡± Dean Hai said in a low voice, ¡°You two¡­ as strategic-level members, come with me to meet the highest commander here.¡±


    ¡°The highest commander?¡± Yan Jing showed a trace of confusion, ¡°Who is it?¡±


    ¡°General Lin.¡±


    ¡­


    In the super-sized conference room of a war fortress.


    Several figures clad in combat armor were present, a few of them exuding a notably strong life force.


    They were waiting here.


    ¡°Senior Lin.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t rush,¡± a burly figure roughly thirty years old, wearing silver combat armor, said in a deep voice.


    Suddenly, the burly figure in silver combat armor smiled, ¡°They¡¯ve arrived.¡±

    Chapter 457: Chapter 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)


    ¡°¡±Arrived?¡± The woman in black was taken aback.


    The other few figures in the conference room couldn¡¯t help but look up towards the entrance of the room.


    In less than half a minute, three figures walked into the conference room from the corridor.


    ¡°Dean Hai, long time no see.¡± The towering figure in silver combat armor greeted him with a smile.


    ¡°General Lin.¡± Dean Hai also grinned.


    ¡°Haha, you can just call me Old Lin, or Lin Yue.¡± The towering figure in silver combat armor laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t call me General; it sounds a bit off-putting.¡±


    ¡°Alright, Old Lin it is then.¡± Dean Hai laughed, ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for quite some years. Your strength, though, has gotten stronger and stronger. I heard you¡¯ve also had a wonderful daughter.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not important.¡± Lin Yue laughed, ¡°Today, the most important thing is that you all have come to support us. The pressure facing the frontlines is tremendous.¡±


    Li Yuan followed behind Dean Hai, observing the few people inside the conference room.


    Under the inquiry of the Divine Palace,


    there were no prompts ¡®Killing can obtain spiritual nourishment¡¯, which left Li Yuan with a hint of disappointment.


    ¡°Lin Yue, these two are the True Intent Prime Warriors I invited from the Martial Divine Star Realm, both students who left our Kunlun Martial University.¡± Dean Hai smiled, ¡°This one is Yan Jing, who, although only recently condensed True Intent, has many years of formidable strength.¡±


    ¡°Young brother Yan Jing, hello.¡± Lin Yue greeted with a smile, reaching out his hand first.


    ¡°Elder Lin.¡± Yan Jing also stretched out his hand in response. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the way in just now, he had heard from Dean Hai about this General Lin Yue, a high-ranking figure of the Starry Sky Martial Hall and also a powerhouse of Xia Country¡¯s military, a Flying Heaven Warrior at the peak.


    More than two years ago, Lin Yue had been stationed at the Rob Sea Star Realm, and later gradually became one of the three Commanders, the ¡®Warrior Commanding General.¡¯ (Chapter 61)


    ¡°This one, you should have heard of.¡± Dean Hai pointed at Li Yuan with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    In an instant, the others in the hall all turned their eyes towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Is it him?¡±


    ¡°He has already condensed True Intent? So soon? Didn¡¯t he just go to the Martial Divine Star Realm last year?¡±


    ¡°His cultivation is progressing too fast.¡± A trace of shock appeared on the faces of the several Flying Heaven Warriors wearing general¡¯s uniforms.


    This name was well-known among the current high-rank warriors of Xia Country.


    In terms of fame, Li Yuan was completely on par with Yu Jinghe.


    And the several Flying Heaven Warriors present knew that, barring any accidents, Li Yuan¡¯s future achievements were likely to surpass those of Yu Jinghe.


    However, what the several Flying Heaven Warriors did not expect was that, just over a year after last year¡¯s Blue Star virtual combat, Li Yuan had come to the Rob Sea Star Realm in this manner.


    It was totally unexpected.


    Their hearts calculated slightly and they understood the terrifying speed of Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation, which seemed almost beyond belief.


    ¡°How could I not have heard of him.¡± Lin Yue was quite composed, smiling at Li Yuan, ¡°This is our Xia Country¡¯s number one prodigy¡­ Besides, I should be the one thanking Li Yuan.¡±


    Thank?


    The crowd was somewhat surprised.


    Only Dean Hai was not surprised; after all, it was he who had sent Li Yuan to the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°Elder Lin flatters me, I¡¯ve only done what needed doing.¡± Li Yuan replied with neither servility nor haughtiness.


    General Lin Yue before him was none other than the father of Lin Lanyue.


    Through communication with Lin Lanyue, as well as the narratives from Dean Hai and his own collected data, Li Yuan came to see¡­ Lin Yue had made tremendous contributions to the entire civilization.


    He hadn¡¯t been particularly conspicuous in his Prime Warrior phase, never having entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, but he steadily practised until he became a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength increasing faster and faster post-ascension.


    Looking about thirty years old, he was actually nearly seventy, already a peak Flying Heaven Warrior.


    At 70, for a Flying Heaven Warrior, it¡¯s still very young, and there is hope for becoming a Demigod in the future.


    In fact, Flying Heaven Warriors nurtured by the Martial Divine Star Realm are just a small part of the Seven Star Civilization.


    The vast number of Prime Warriors, many of whom may not have performed well in their youth, also undergo transformations and stand out as they gradually cultivate.


    Lin Yue was such a person.


    He also fought constantly in many places, and his presence had been seen in many star realms of the Blue Star.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yan Jing.¡± Lin Yue turned to the black-clothed woman beside him, ¡°Let me introduce you, this is also a member of the Seven Star Mountain, Luo Chan, who has comprehended the True Meaning of Fire.¡±


    ¡°Luo Chan?¡± Li Yuan and Yan Jing exchanged glances.


    They knew of this person.


    Before them, Xia Country had a total of two True Intent Prime Warriors. (Chapter 273)


    Besides Yu Jinghe, it was Luo Chan, who, according to the information they knew¡­ had spent many years cultivating at the Seven Star Mountain and now seldom returned, usually staying in Xia Country.


    Thus, they had never met her before.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yan Jing.¡± The black-clothed woman, Luo Chan, looked at them, her face without much fluctuation, ¡°What are each of you good at? We will need to fight together when we enter the Rob Sea, so at least we need to know each other¡¯s strengths. I¡¯ll go first, I¡¯m better at frontal attacks, and my Star Techniques are all for enhancing attack.¡±


    ¡°I have comprehended the True Meaning of Wind and specialize in speed,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile, ¡°My top speed, combined with Star Techniques, should be able to exceed five times the speed of sound.¡±


    ¡°Five times the speed of sound?¡± Surprise flashed in the eyes of those present.


    Normal True Intent Prime Warriors, with the aid of True Intent to fly and escape, usually have a flying speed of about three times the speed of sound.


    Five times the speed of sound? That was indeed astonishing.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what about you?¡± Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, ¡°With such a short training time, how well have you developed your Star Techniques?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve grasped the True Meaning of Earth, and what I¡¯m best at¡­ would probably be entangling the enemy. My defense is also quite good.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°As for Star Techniques, they are passable, I suppose.¡±


    He did not specify, because there were other Flying Heaven Warriors present.

 Chapter 458: 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_2

    Chapter 458: Chapter 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_2


    Luo Chan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she was about to continue speaking.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough, Luo Chan,¡± Lin Yue suddenly said with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength should be greater than yours.¡±


    Perhaps the other Flying Heaven Warriors were unaware.


    But as the Commander of the Martial Artists, Dean Hai would naturally share some relevant intelligence with Lin Yue.


    Therefore, he had some understanding of Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    Once Li Yuan and his team took action, he would share detailed intelligence with Luo Chan.


    ¡°Stronger than me?¡± A trace of doubt flashed through Luo Chan¡¯s eyes.


    She had trained on Seven Star Mountain for many more years than Yu Jinghe and believed she had built up an incredibly deep foundation¡­ though she did not object.


    ¡­


    Hum~ A massive screen projection appeared in the center of the meeting room.


    Everyone turned to look at it.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Yan Jing, Luo Chan,¡± Lin Yue looked at the three, ¡°You three, unlike other Prime Warriors, can all fly¡­ You are equivalent to Flying Heaven Warriors and are the sharp edge in this war, so naturally your mission is different.¡±


    All three listened intently.


    ¡°Right now, our decisive battle with the Cloud Beast Civilization has not yet erupted, but we can¡¯t delay for too much longer,¡± said Lin Yue, ¡°Based on our previous inquiry, the number of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts they have accumulated in their three brood nests is truly astounding¡­ A large-scale attack is definitely impending.¡±


    Brood nests? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    On the way back from the Martial Divine Star Realm, they had broadly understood that the Cloud Beast Civilization was a formidable Exotic Beast Civilization.


    The most miraculous aspect of this civilization was its brood nests.


    Its function was to continuously spawn a large quantity of First Rank Exotic Beasts, which fought and competed with each other.


    These struggles would consistently produce Second Rank Exotic Beasts, and even Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Cloud Beast Civilization had three brood nests, breeding a large number of Exotic Beasts. The elite amongst them, after multiple screenings for those with high talent, would mostly be sent back to the Cloud Beast Civilization for further nurturing¡­ But the vast remnants of ordinary Exotic Beasts still needed to consume resources for prolonged survival¡­ Therefore, they let these Exotic Beasts serve as cannon fodder to attack the Seven Star Civilization.


    For decades, every 2-3 years, the Cloud Beast Civilization would ignite a horrific war.


    ¡°The Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°At present, the most dangerous are the five major front-line War Fortresses and numerous ¡®Inquiry Bases¡¯,¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°Those Inquiry Bases have mostly been subject to small-scale attacks, and many have been breached.¡±


    ¡°Senior Lin,¡± Yan Jing suddenly asked in confusion, ¡°Based on what you just said, if we are generally on the defensive, why don¡¯t we just retreat and fortify the Star Realm¡¯s entrance and exit points?¡±


    ¡°If we completely retreat, that means giving up on the Star Realm, leaving only the entrance and exit as our last line of defense,¡± Lin Yue glanced at Yan Jing, ¡°And what if this last line also falls?¡±


    Yan Jing appeared thoughtful.


    ¡°We are doing our utmost to extend our sphere of influence deep into the Star Realm, firstly to provide an early warning, and secondly to compress the living space of the Cloud Beast Civilization,¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°to prevent them from expanding recklessly.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, once we completely abandon the Star Realm, they could quickly establish the fifth or even the sixth brood nest at their leisure. Then, when a large-scale attack comes, the defense pressure will be even greater.¡±


    ¡°In history, during the time the Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯s defenses were breached, it happened just like that, ultimately resulting in tens of millions of deaths,¡± Lin Yue said solemnly, ¡°After all, the entrance and exit are becoming increasingly unstable, and at any moment could expand to thousands of kilometers. If there¡¯s a sudden expansion to thousands of kilometers without prior warning, and millions of Exotic Beasts invade Blue Star¡­ even a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors would be unable to fully defend.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, the Rob Sea Star Realm itself is rich in resources.¡±


    Li Yuan and the others now understood.


    Xia Country¡¯s defense strategy for the Rob Sea was to adopt an offensive stance and at the same time try to capture various cultivation resources of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡°Your current mission.¡± sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Is to press into the Rob Sea Star Realm according to our previous inquiries,¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°destroy each advance base established by the Cloud Beast Civilization¡­ and to strive to exterminate any Second Rank Exotic Beasts you encounter.¡±


    ¡°Especially the powerful Second Rank Exotic Beasts, if you can kill the majority¡­ when the Cloud Beast Civilization launches their attack, without powerful Second Rank Exotic Beasts to draw fire, they will suffer greatly against our War Fortresses.¡±


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and others were listening carefully.


    Potent War Fortresses were quite dangerous for even a Flying Heaven Warrior to invade alone.


    But sufficient numbers of Second Rank Exotic Beasts could also be tremendously terrifying.


    ¡°Senior Lin, are there any Flying Heaven Level beings within the Cloud Beast Civilization?¡± Li Yuan asked the crucial question.


    ¡°There are.¡±


    ¡°These are the two leaders of the Cloud Beast Civilization within the Rob Sea Star Realm that we know of,¡± Lin Yue waved his hand.


    Whoosh!


    A vast map projection appeared in the sky, showing two huge three-dimensional projections: one, a massively fearsome blood-colored Flying Serpent; the other, a titan-like armored purple-haired ape.


    ¡°These two, One is named Wu Sihai, and the other is called Ziba,¡± Lin Yue said gravely, ¡°From our long-term engagement, we know that they are very likely to have Intermediate Flying Heaven Level combat power, though the possibility of them being at the Flying Heaven Peak is very slim.¡±


    ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization is different from us. Their breakthrough probability is much lower,¡± Lin Yue said.


    ¡°Most of their Flying Heaven Level beings have very common skills, and they even struggle to comprehend True Intent, not to mention reaching the Intermediate Rank of The Sixth Stage,¡± said Lin Yue.


    Intermediate Flying Heaven Level combat power?


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly, while Yan Jing and Luo Chan exchanged looks, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.


    Such strength posed a significant threat to them.


    ¡°These two have only been recorded as taking action once,¡± Lin Yue explained gravely, ¡°and that was¡­ eight years ago when Lude Nef attacked one of their brood nests.¡±

 Chapter 459: 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_3

    Chapter 459: Chapter 282: The Beginning of War (Extra 14)_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°That battle, Lude Nef led Yu Jinghe and a large group of True Intent Prime Warriors¡­ The fighting was extremely fierce, and in the end, they could only retreat,¡± Lin Yue sighed lightly. ¡°The brood nest was incredibly fortified, with numerous defensive forces erupting, and with these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, they easily held their ground.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A battle like that?¡± Li Yuan and Yan Jing were both surprised; they had not known of this news before.


    Luo Chan, however, was quite calm.


    Because she had personally taken part in that battle eight years ago.


    ¡°These two old foxes are very cunning. As leaders of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm, they are unwilling to fight to the death, and the demigods of the Cloud Beast Civilization have no way to force them,¡± Luo Chan said in a low voice. ¡°As long as we don¡¯t touch the brood nest, they probably won¡¯t show themselves.¡±


    ¡°They are very fearful of Lude Nef¡¯s ambushes.¡±


    ¡°In that battle, there were originally four Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts on the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s side, but Lude Nef managed to kill two of them.¡±


    ¡°So, as long as we are careful and do not approach the brood nest, it should be safer,¡± Luo Chan said. ¡°Even if we do encounter them, the three of us together stand a good chance of getting away safely.¡±


    ¡­


    Time passed, and after a detailed discussion.


    Li Yuan and Yan Jing were now extremely familiar with the entire Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Luo Chan had long been aware of this information.


    Li Yuan had very high authority and knew many secrets¡­ yet he dared not be careless and listened attentively.


    Each Star Realm is mysterious and unpredictable, especially when facing a powerful civilization of the other side, one must be even more cautious.


    ¡°The map indicates 28 advance bases and nine inquiry points, it¡¯s up to you now,¡± Lin Yue looked at the three True Intent Prime Warriors. ¡°We will continue to scout continuously¡­ and strive to send you the latest information.¡±


    ¡°Remember, do not stray beyond 5000 kilometers from the Star Realm entrance. Once you exceed this range, the signal will be interrupted,¡± Lin Yue said. ¡°Is that clear?¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    Ten minutes later.


    The three of them, ready for action, had boarded a large transport flyer with Dean Hai and Lin Yue, arriving at one side of the vast Star Realm passage.


    In the sky, there seemed to be a curtain, rippling with waves.


    ¡°Remember.¡±


    ¡°Although the Cloud Beast Civilization isn¡¯t highly advanced in technology, they also have corresponding means of communication,¡± Lin Yue said softly. ¡°Therefore, once you take action, they will definitely receive the message, and then order other advance bases to retreat.¡±


    ¡°So, at the start of the operation, spread out and attack separately. After clearing two advance bases each, regroup and start clearing together.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Starting out with separate attacks was to catch the enemy by surprise.


    Once the Cloud Beast Civilization reacted, they were likely to set up a killing formation, so it was necessary for the three to join forces. This way, even though the gains may be smaller, the danger would be much less.


    Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!


    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan, aboard a small flyer, swiftly passed through the curtain of light and ripples in the sky, entering the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Not relying on their flight, was to avoid revealing their whereabouts as much as possible, to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.


    Dean Hai and Lin Yue watched them disappear from view.


    ¡°Dean Hai, is Li Yuan¡¯s strength really as strong as you say?¡± Lin Yue asked softly.


    ¡°You doubt me?¡± Dean Hai glared.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe, but it¡¯s hard to believe that he has so quickly condensed True Intent, and to say his strength is nearing Lude Nef¡¯s?¡± Lin Yue shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s indeed surprising.¡±


    ¡°I was also surprised when I first confirmed his strength,¡± Dean Hai said with a sigh.


    ¡°What a pity that Lude Nef is in seclusion. Otherwise, if he joined us, this war would be much easier.¡±


    The news of Lude Nef¡¯s breakthrough was still under wraps. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan boarded single-person flyers and entered the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Shortly after, the three flyers separated by dozens of kilometers, each heading toward adjacent targets.


    The vast land stretched before them; a blood moon hung high, and ranges of majestic mountains extended deep into the land, rocky and barren with sparse vegetation, carrying an awe-inspiring, rugged beauty.


    However, the wreckage visible to the naked eye scattered amongst the mountains, and the remnants of technological weapons¡­ were sufficient to understand the cruelty and bloodiness of this Star Realm.


    Inside one of the flyers.


    Luo Chan sat quietly, waiting for the auto-piloted flyer to reach the preset destination.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Luo Chan.¡± A deep voice sounded within the flyer.


    ¡°Senior Lin?¡± Luo Chan immediately opened her eyes.


    ¡°I have something to tell you about your comrade Li Yuan¡¯s strength, which I couldn¡¯t fully disclose in the briefing room just now due to the presence of other Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice was low: ¡°His strength is now on par with Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Luo Chan was shocked.


    In the briefing room earlier, she was surprised to hear Lin Yue say that Li Yuan was stronger than her.


    And now, Lin Yue was implying that Li Yuan¡¯s strength was comparable to Yu Jinghe?


    To understand, remember that in the past year¡¯s numerous battles on Ming Mountain, Yu Jinghe had proven through action that his power was not weaker than Lude Nef¡¯s.


    Li Yuan? Has he grown so quickly?


    ¡°Is the information reliable?¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Absolutely accurate.¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice remained low: ¡°What his specific combat skills are, I can¡¯t tell you for now¡­ but if you find yourself in danger, trust him as you would Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Luo Chan nodded.


    She could understand if Lin Yue was telling the truth, then Li Yuan¡¯s rate of growth was terrifying, and he would definitely be a thorn in the side of Alien Civilizations.

    ¡°Be careful during life-or-death battles, killing enemies is secondary, preserving yourself is the priority.¡± Lin Yue added before cutting off the communication.


    Luo Chan sat within the flyer, her heart unable to settle for a long while.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, inside another flyer, Li Yuan observed the scene outside.


    He had only seen the Rob Sea Star Realm in documentaries before, but now he was personally inside.


    ¡°According to the intelligence.¡±


    ¡°Within a radius of three thousand kilometers from the Star Realm¡¯s entrance, is our domain.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°The nearest of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s three Nest-Beast Dens is about nine thousand kilometers from the entrance.¡±


    ¡°Their twenty-eight forward outposts are all within five thousand kilometers of the Star Realm¡¯s entrance.¡±


    ¡°My first target is about four thousand kilometers from the entrance.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the information displayed on the smart cruise: ¡°In about four hours, I should be able to reach the edge of our domain.¡±


    Whoosh! The flyer skimmed the mountain gorges at ultra-low altitude, though even if discovered by a Stealth Exotic Beast infiltrated within our domain from the Cloud Beast Civilization, it was highly unlikely to be identified as a Flying Heaven level¡­ but caution never hurt.


    ¡­


    Four hours later.


    Outside the Star Realm, at the central command.


    ¡°All three of them have left the flyers and begun the final stage of Stealth.¡± Lin Yue suddenly spoke in a soft voice.


    ¡°Hopefully, they all come back safely.¡± Dean Hai spoke gravely beside him.


    The eyes of the other military Flying Heaven Warriors were filled with anticipation.


    ¡­


    On the blood-engulfed mountain ranges, fierce winds howled.


    Li Yuan landed lightly on the ground and instinctively looked up at the flyer ascending into the distance.


    The flyer only provided transport for 3000 kilometers; the last 1000 kilometers to the target had to be covered by Li Yuan and the others on their own.


    ¡°This place is desolate.¡± Li Yuan frowned slightly.


    According to intelligence, the Nest-Beast Dens of the Cloud Beast Civilization siphon the power of the earth for nourishment¡­ wherever they go, the once-thriving land full of life would turn to desolation.


    ¡°This battle, I¡¯m the main force, I have to really rely on myself now.¡± Li Yuan muttered in his heart.


    This was his third venture into a Star Realm.


    The first time in the Mingxu Star Realm, all he did was Inquiry, while Senior Liu Jing was the main force, he wasn¡¯t even qualified to participate in the final clash of two great civilizations.


    Second time, in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, he was just part of the World within Worlds battle¡­ The intense Star Realm war was carried by Lude Nef and the others.


    Now, it was his third time.


    ¡°After all this time, it¡¯s finally up to me to take on the responsibility.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed mysteriously: ¡°Rob Sea Star Realm is a tumour on Xia Country, I will do everything in my power¡­ to excise it.¡±


    Since childhood, Li Yuan had repeatedly heard stories of wars in the Rob Sea, with countless humans dying, even his uncle nearly perishing here, and much of Xia Country¡¯s national strength had been depleted here.


    Not just resources but also millions of lives.


    After reading through many intelligence reports on the Rob Sea, Li Yuan was determined to thoroughly cleanse the entire Rob Sea.


    ¡°Big Brother Yu, Lude Nef and the others couldn¡¯t breach the Nest-Beast Dens, but my strength can now rival theirs, and I will get even stronger¡­ I have a complete chance of achieving this,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Perhaps, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization had no expectations for Li Yuan, but he had expectations for himself.


    If capable, then one should do their utmost.


    You can¡¯t always depend on the next generation for everything.


    ¡°This time, I¡¯ll start by collecting some interest.¡± Li Yuan moved, his body¡¯s light subtly distorting to cloak his form, and like a gust of wind, he flew towards his target.


    In such a state, unless sensed by the Divine Sense of another strong being, if one is just a bit further away, it would be nearly impossible to detect Li Yuan¡¯s presence.

    Time passed, and Li Yuan was under the illumination of the blood moon.


    He crossed desolate mountain ranges, gorges, and rivers, moving forward non-stop.


    ¡°So many exotic beasts.¡± Along the way, Li Yuan observed many exotic beasts, none of which could detect his passing.


    Li Yuan¡¯s range of Divine Sense inquiry was limited. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But he had condensed the True Meaning of Earth, and through the fluctuations of the earth, his perception ability was astonishing; even separated by tens of kilometers, he could sense certain life fluctuations.


    Two hours later.


    ¡°It¡¯s here,¡± Li Yuan stood on the mountaintop, his breath as if concealed, gazing at a distant mountain a few kilometers away.


    He did not continue to approach.


    At first glance, this mountain did not seem remarkable compared to the neighboring peaks.


    But it was one of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s forward outposts mentioned in the intelligence, a result of continuous in-depth inquiry by numerous First and Second Rank Martial Artists from the Seven Star Civilization.


    At the same time, as Li Yuan truly neared the mountain, he could sense through the earth¡¯s vibrations the extensive life fluctuations within, clearly inhabited by many powerful exotic beasts.


    ¡°I am ready and can act at any moment,¡± Li Yuan sent a message to Yan Jing and Luo Chan.


    Li Yuan waited patiently.


    More than ten minutes later, Luo Chan sent a message: ¡°I am ready as well.¡±


    Another five minutes passed before Yan Jing finally sent a message: ¡°I am in position.¡±


    All had arrived.


    ¡°Attack simultaneously after thirty seconds. Eliminate all Second Rank exotic beasts, then immediately head to the next target,¡± Commander Lin Yue issued the order.


    ¡­


    Thirty seconds later.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan burst out like a gust of wind, blending completely with the surroundings, almost skimming the ground as he went¡­ in an instant, his speed shot up to sonic levels, reaching the base of the huge mountain and a seemingly inconspicuous cave in just ten seconds.


    This cave, concealed by layers, would be entirely missed from a distance¡­ but not by Li Yuan¡¯s earth vibration senses.


    ¡°Two.¡± With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Yuan detected two Second Rank exotic beasts lurking at the entrance of the cave.


    They had not noticed Li Yuan yet.


    ¡°Kill!¡± A glint of killing intent flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he directly triggered two mysteries.


    Scch~


    Scchwt! Two streams of earthy yellow energy, sharp as spikes, penetrated the ground like needles strengthened countless times over and burst through the skulls of the two Second Rank exotic beasts.


    Instantly, the eyes of the two exotic beasts bulged roundly, their heads began to bleed profusely, and they lost consciousness.


    Dead!


    As a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    The combination of two mysteries made it easy to kill level 22 Second Rank exotic beasts within his domain.


    This was the terrifying aspect of superb martial skills.


    Just like the might of a law, once fully unleashed, it could easily kill ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ With the combined might of Li Yuan¡¯s two mysteries, he could also effortlessly sweep through large numbers of Second Rank from the Alien Race.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to delay once the action starts,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was cold.


    Boom! Inducing the True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan¡¯s speed fully erupted, unfolding completely as he transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light along the cave, rushing into the heart of the base.


    At the same time.


    Above and below, even within the mud and stones, nearly every inch within a fifty-meter radius centered on Li Yuan spontaneously generated fine streams of earthy yellow energy, as if a gargantuan sphere had been born out of thin air.


    This was the True Intent Domain, formed by the core of the True Meaning of Earth, infused with the Mystery of Wind.


    ¡­


    The forward outpost of the Cloud Beast Civilization naturally had many defensive measures in place.


    If an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior approached, there was a significant chance of being detected¡­ but Li Yuan¡¯s stealth techniques were extremely sophisticated.


    Although not as adept as Lude Nef, at least he was not something this outpost could detect in advance.


    Only when Li Yuan truly erupted, charging straight in, did the top-tier powerful exotic beasts of the outpost notice.


    Deep within the earth, there lay a vast chamber.


    The chamber was filled with numerous devices.


    Inside the chamber, several massive beasts with eyes flashing intelligence, shaped like serpents or akin to apes, resided.


    They had been leisurely before, but at that moment they felt continuous vibrations and the sounds of explosions from above, which completely changed their expressions.


    ¡°No good, an enemy has invaded.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Alert!¡±


    ¡°Quick, retreat.¡± These leaders of the outpost, some resembling flying serpents, others like primates,


    were the chiefs of the outpost.


    Not long ago, they were planning attacks on certain bases of the Seven Star Civilization, but now they were all panicked.


    Boom! The heavy chamber door thundered down, the giant stone door closing the upward passage.


    Click!


    On the other side of the chamber, what was a securely sealed wall suddenly opened like a door to both sides, revealing a dark passage¡ªindeed, an escape route.


    ¡°Move quickly.¡±


    ¡°Flee.¡± The five fully matured Second Rank exotic beasts had just thought to flee, but they hadn¡¯t even managed to move their bodies when fear flashed through their eyes.


    ¡°Boom!!!¡±


    Like the earth shattering, the thick layer of rock above them exploded violently, with countless rocks spraying and scattering wildly.


    Following that, streams of earthy yellow energy appeared out of thin air, sweeping toward all directions like blades, slicing the bodies of the Second Rank mature exotic beasts, trying to kill them on the spot.


    ¡°Scchwt~¡± Blood splattered everywhere, their indestructible fur being cut open.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a True Intent Domain.¡±


    ¡°How can this domain be so strong? It¡¯s far stronger than the domains of Master Wu Sihai and the others.¡±


    ¡°Hold on.¡± These mature Second Rank exotic beasts, which had their own language, roared at each other.


    Soon after, mighty Origin Power surfaced on their bodies, merging with flesh and bone, resisting the frenzied, slaughtering attacks of the True Intent Domain.

    Chapter 462: Chapter 283: Sweeping Everything (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_3


    ¡°Puchi~¡±


    ¡°Rumble~¡± These Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts, augmented with powerful Origin Power and even directly using Star Technique, actually managed to withstand Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain.


    Whoosh!


    Amidst strands of earth-yellow streams, the currents suddenly dispersed, and a figure completely shrouded in a black robe stepped out, their specific features utterly obscured.


    However, the terrifying aura they exuded made these few Second-Rank Exotic Beasts tremble in their hearts, realizing that this was the assailant.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes turned cold as the Black Chen Spear suddenly materialized in his hand, infused with Origin Power, and a flash of Spear Light suddenly thrust forth.


    Origin Power, Mysteries of True Intent, and the weapon¡¯s might combined perfectly.


    A terrifying Spear Light suddenly burst forth.


    The dazzling Spear Light slashed across the sky, striking at the few Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts with such horrific might that it pierced directly through their defenses formed by Origin Power and their tough flesh and blood, their heads instantly exploding.


    Die!


    In a single encounter, he completely crushed and killed them.


    ¡°So weak, clearly at level 29, but no Origin Power Battle Suit, and Star Techniques hardly cultivated, simply relying on a strong physique to bear the brunt.¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    A normal Top Grade Origin Martial Artist, at full defense, would take at least two strikes from Li Yuan to be killed.


    But Li Yuan didn¡¯t know, from the myriad Exotic Beasts generated by the brood nest, those with true potential had already been sent away, leaving only the flawed ones¡­ Nevertheless, under normal circumstances, these few Second-Rank Perfection Exotic Beasts wouldn¡¯t directly engage in combat but serve as commanders.


    ¡°Next one.¡±


    Li Yuan soared to the sky, quickly ascending from the underground chamber, swiftly passing through one cavern layer after another¡­ Each cavern layer was strewn with numerous Exotic Beast corpses, blood flowing like rivers.


    Each cavern had a huge hole that had just been forcibly breached by Li Yuan.


    He had carved a path of slaughter all the way through.


    Li Yuan took approximately 12 seconds, continuously breaking through 6 layers of caverns, and swept through all the Exotic Beasts detected by his Divine Sense at this Cloud Beast Civilization outpost.


    ¡°Target number 1 completed, 834 Second-Rank killed.¡± Li Yuan sent the message to the command center.


    Boom!


    The mountain body outside, which appeared calm, suddenly erupted with a terrifying explosion sound, boulders tumbling, trees collapsing, and a huge cavern appeared at the top of the mountain, from which a stream of earth-yellow light burst forth into the sky.


    The initial assault was a surprise attack, so movement had to be concealed.


    But once action was taken, it had to be fast! The faster, the better!


    ¡°Next target, about 200 kilometers away, strive to arrive within three minutes,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold as ice, ¡°Kill!¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan turned into a ray of light, merging fully with the heavens and earth, streaking across the dim world at a speed that had now soared to approximately four times the speed of sound.


    ¡­


    Outside the Star Realm, in the command center.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and others were all waiting quietly; they knew that the first round of assassination by the three Prime Warriors with True Intent had begun.


    Whether they could dismantle this round of attack by the Cloud Beast Civilization almost entirely depended on this endeavor.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Good!¡± Lin Yue suddenly let out a low shout, with a glint of joy in his eyes, ¡°Success in one location, Li Yuan has completed the first target, killing 834 Second-Rank with none escaping, he¡¯s now proceeding towards target number 4.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Impressive.¡± Everyone was somewhat excited, having at least accomplished part of the objective.


    ¡°What about targets number 2 and 3?¡± Dean Hai asked in quick succession.


    ¡°No news yet.¡± Lin Yue shook his head.


    Another nearly twenty seconds passed.


    ¡°Luo Chan has sent a message, target number 2 is completed, some Second-Rank Exotic Beasts escaped, but the kill count exceeded 600,¡± Lin Yue said in a low voice, ¡°Yan Jing has also sent a message, killing over 500 Second-Rank Exotic Beasts, but the task was not fully completed.¡±


    The conference room fell silent.


    At first, when they received the news, they didn¡¯t realize¡­ but after comparison, they felt the impressive strength of Li Yuan.


    ¡°This is fortunate.¡±


    ¡°Having a genius like Li Yuan is a blessing for Xia Country, as well as for the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Lin Yue said softly. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    The first round of assassination results by Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan was indeed staggering.


    But with such a large-scale attack.


    Cloud Beast Civilization, though slow to react, would quickly respond, especially since the Cloud Beast Civilization had long been prepared.


    About two thousand kilometers away from the base attacked by Li Yuan.


    In the intermountain range where two mountain ridges spanned a vast canyon, at this moment, it was engulfed in countless black mists.


    If one could see through the mist, they would notice between the canyons, countless black organic structures were rapidly expanding and growing¡­ If Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and others were here, they would recognize that this was a brood nest of the Cloud Beast Civilization growing rapidly.


    Inside a mountainside beside the canyon, it had long been completely hollowed out.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°An outpost has been attacked?¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s counterattack has finally arrived?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, they¡¯ve taken the initiative. They want to dismantle our momentum in advance.¡± Inside the mountain, five tremendously powerful existences gathered here.


    They watched the three light screen projections formed in the middle, seeing the battle scenes clearly.


    The projections from a few outposts had been automatically sent back before being destroyed.


    In one projection, a blurry black figure flashed by, followed by a terrifying flurry of Spear Light, swiftly sweeping away everything in its path.


    The other two scenes of battle were much more intense, allowing them to watch more closely.


    ¡°Such impressive Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°A True Intent Domain, its might is so powerful? It¡¯s probably close to Intermediate Rank True Intent,¡± the five Cloud Beast Civilization powerhouses immediately judged.


    The mysterious powerhouse who had mastered the True Meaning of Earth was the most formidable.


    ¡°One of them is Luo Chan, an old adversary.¡± Wu Sihai¡¯s eyes were cold, his voice carrying a chilling intent to kill.


    Wu Sihai had clashed with Luo Chan twice and recognized the opponent.

 Chapter 463: 283: Sweeping Everything (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_4

    Chapter 463: Chapter 283: Sweeping Everything (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_4


    ¡°The fish has taken the bait.¡±


    ¡°So arrogant, these three must all be True Intent Prime Warriors¡­ However, that True Meaning of Earth master might be a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°His Domain hasn¡¯t reached the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank, otherwise he could have killed those several Second Rank Perfections directly with the power of his Domain.¡±


    ¡°Even if he is a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength is only comparable to Wu Sihai and Zippa, and he must have broken through recently, so his strength is probably weaker.¡± The five powerful figures communicated with each other.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior, even with a high Skill Realm, would still need a lot of time to refine Origin Pills.


    ¡°Jin Mu, Yan Xuan.¡±


    The blood-colored Flying Serpent turned to the two newly arrived powerhouses: ¡°Over the years, Elden, Zippa, and I have been wary of Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe, enduring in silence, not daring to make a move.¡±


    ¡°But the Seven Star Civilization probably doesn¡¯t know their secret has leaked¡­ They likely can¡¯t imagine that we¡¯d dare to take action.¡±


    ¡°This time, the high echelons of our civilization have even dispatched you two, significantly augmenting our top battle power.¡±


    ¡°This time, we will deliver a surprise to the Seven Star Civilization and strive to kill all their Flying Heaven level combatants.¡± Wu Sihai spoke in a deep voice.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    ¡°The Demigod has sent us here to cooperate with you in an effort to take the Rob Sea in one fell swoop.¡± The Exotic Beast known as ¡®Jin Mu¡¯ spoke in a deep voice.


    His body wasn¡¯t too massive, pitch black in color, with eight legs, looking like a giant murderous spider.


    ¡°Jin Mu excels at binding, and I at poison fog.¡± The black Flying Serpent named Yan Xuan spoke in a deep voice, its scales shimmering with a beautiful luster that made the other Exotic Beasts reluctant to come too close.


    Poison is something to be greatly feared.


    Jin Mu and Yan Xuan were supreme talents dispatched by the Cloud Beast Civilization, having already condensed their True Intent¡­ Together with their innate physical gifts, they could unleash astonishing strength.


    ¡°We must act without delay.¡±


    ¡°Elden, you stay here to protect the nest burrows.¡±


    ¡°The targets of these humans are definitely those outpost stations.¡± Wu Sihai said in a deep voice, ¡°We will slaughter our way over now.¡±


    ¡°I will have the large army in those outpost stations slowly pull back, neither alerting the human warriors¡­ nor preventing them from continuing their attacks.¡±


    ¡°Slaughter our way over.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Soon, four massive Exotic Beasts left the belly of the mountain, transforming into four streaks of light as they departed from this nest burrow, headed in the direction of Li Yuan.


    With their flight speed, even if they deliberately slowed down to reduce the disturbance in heaven and earth,


    2,000 kilometers could also be covered in less than an hour.


    ¡­


    An hour later.


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡± Intense sounds of explosions suddenly erupted from what seemed like an ordinary mountain amidst the continuous mountain range, as if a major explosion was occurring.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Accompanied by dazzling earthen-yellow light breaking through, a huge mountain body collapsed halfway, as numerous rocks and soil crumbled and fell.


    That gradually exposed the inside of the mountain¡­ A large number of Exotic Beast corpses tumbled down.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Whoosh! Three streaks of light broke through the layers of dirt, soaring into the sky hundreds of meters high, revealing themselves to be Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.


    ¡°So powerful.¡±


    ¡°Such terrifying Spear Technique.¡± Luo Chan was thoroughly convinced by Li Yuan, her eyes filled only with admiration.


    That spear thrust just now.


    At the bottom of the cave, it swept across dozens of Second Rank Exotic Beasts in a wide range, utterly quelling any thought of escape in those beasts.


    She had no more doubts about Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Target number 11, completed.¡±


    Yan Jing¡¯s face showed a hint of excitement, ¡°We have slain more than five thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts.¡±


    The three of them, after individually taking down two Cloud Beast Civilization outpost bases, had, as planned, converged in one place and continued their slaughter.


    Not a single Cloud Beast Civilization base could withstand their onslaught.


    ¡°I always feel something is strange, that the Cloud Beast Civilization seems to be retreating, but somehow it¡¯s slow.¡± Luo Chan said gravely, ¡°Their response is too slow.¡±


    ¡°It does seem a bit slow.¡± Li Yuan furrowed his brow.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°I understand now, it¡¯s not that their response is slow.¡± Li Yuan suddenly turned his head, his gaze calm as he looked into the distant void, ¡°They¡¯re using these Second Rank Exotic Beasts as bait, deliberately luring us.¡±


    ¡°The real enemies are coming.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s hand already clenched the Black Chen Spear with a swish.


    Quickly.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Realm?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan also quickly sensed that in the void more than ten kilometers away, four powerful presences were rapidly closing in.


    ¡°It¡¯s Wu Sihai.¡± Luo Chan even recognized a familiar aura.

    Chapter 464: Chapter 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)


    With the vision and perception ability of a Prime Warrior proficient in True Intent, a distance of over ten kilometers was already incredibly clear.


    Moreover, the four powerhouses of the Cloud Beast Civilization were blatantly charging over without any attempt to hide their approach.


    ¡°Four Flying Heavens?¡± Yan Jing¡¯s face changed drastically, ¡°Weren¡¯t there supposed to be only two Flying Heaven leaders from the Cloud Beast Civilization?¡±


    Luo Chan remained silent, but her facial expression said it all.


    ¡°Two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were also grave, and his voice echoed in both of their minds, ¡°Those two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts must be Wu Sihai and Zi Pa as mentioned by senior Lin before.¡±


    ¡°And those two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts are likely reinforcements from the Cloud Beast Civilization.¡±


    Separated by more than ten kilometers, Li Yuan was unable to deploy the Divine Palace Inquiry.


    But with the congealed True Meaning of Earth, Li Yuan¡¯s perception was astonishing, and he could vaguely distinguish the differences between those four powerful figures¡­ There was an essential difference between flying with the True Intent of the heavens and earth and flying by propelling Origin Power.


    ¡°The unparalleled geniuses of the Cloud Beast Civilization?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan¡¯s complexions changed again, they were not fools, immediately thinking of many possibilities.


    Why after nearly a decade of major battles, had Wu Sihai and Zi Pa never shown themselves in battle, yet suddenly made a move this time?


    Why hadn¡¯t the Cloud Beast Civilization provided reinforcements before, and yet they had sent two powerhouses ahead of time this time?


    Why¡­


    The multitude of coincidences could only explain one thing¡ªthis was no coincidence, it was a premeditated attack set up by the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    It seemed slow, but in reality, it took less than two seconds for Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan to exchange thoughts.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    The three transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the area controlled by the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even for someone as confident in their own strength as Li Yuan, he would never rashly charge forward.


    Observations were due at the very least.


    At the very least, they could not let an engagement unfold within the battlefield area prearranged by the opponent.


    After all, knowing full well that the enemy had three Prime Warriors who had already demonstrated formidable power¡­ the Cloud Beast Civilization still dared to attack, they must have some level of confidence.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four strong figures from the Cloud Beast Civilization tore through the Vast Sky, hurtling towards their target.


    ¡°They¡¯ve discovered us, they¡¯re starting to flee.¡± The large purple ape¡¯s eyes flickered with a chilly light.


    ¡°Escape?¡± Wu Sihai spoke coldly, ¡°Yan Xuan, Zi Pa, follow me. Let¡¯s move in for the kill first.¡±


    ¡°Jin Mu, you¡¯re the slowest, so come afterward.¡± The blood-red Flying Serpent, Wu Sihai said.


    ¡°All right.¡± Jin Mu nodded in agreement.


    The four mighty beings of the Cloud Beast Civilization, Wu Sihai and Zi Pa were mid-stage Flying Heaven powerhouses¡­ When burst at full speed, their velocity was incredibly ferocious.


    As for Yan Xuan? Being from the Flying Serpent Clan, naturally adept at flight, and having comprehended the True Meaning of Wind, it further enhanced its prowess, making its flying speed faster than the average practitioner in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The speed of Wu Sihai, Zi Pa, and Yan Xuan skyrocketed in that instant, rapidly approaching five times the speed of sound.


    Drawing ever closer to Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan.


    Every second, the distance between them shrank by several hundred meters¡­ in at most a minute, they would be completely overtaken.


    ¡­


    Outside the Star Realm, inside a giant conference room serving as the command center.


    ¡°We¡¯ve already killed over five thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts, the results are astonishing.¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior said with a jovial smile, ¡°At this rate, they could end up killing over ten thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts.¡±


    ¡°Indeed frightening.¡±


    ¡°Thousands of Second Rank Exotic Beasts, if we let an ordinary troop handle it, who knows how many would die or get injured.¡± Several Flying Heaven Warriors in the conference room sighed with deep emotion.


    Dean Hai looked relaxed as well.


    Only Lin Yue¡¯s expression was solemn; as time had passed, Li Yuan, Luo Chan, and their unimpeded sweeping and killing seemed too smooth to be true.


    His years of experience combating various Alien Races gave him a subconscious feeling that something was amiss.


    But he couldn¡¯t put his finger on exactly what it was.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Not good.¡± Lin Yue¡¯s expression changed slightly, ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s counterattack has arrived.¡±


    Whoosh~


    A huge projection screen appeared, immediately displaying scenes from within the Star Realm¡­ The image was shaking wildly, appearing very chaotic, as if being recorded on the move.


    But in reality, this was Luo Chan activating the ¡®real-time shoot¡¯ feature on her smart ring, which was somewhat akin to ¡®live broadcasting.¡¯


    Even though the image was constantly shaking.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and the others still saw clearly.


    Four massive Exotic Beasts were chasing with terrifying velocity.


    ¡°Two Flying Heaven Level, two True Intent Second Rank Exotic Beasts, this is Li Yuan¡¯s assessment.¡± Lin Yue¡¯s expression turned very serious, and he said gravely, ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization had planned this in advance.¡±


    In the conference room, everyone¡¯s smiles faded as they realized the seriousness of the situation.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization, having never erupted for so many years, was making a fierce move all at once.


    ¡°Li Yuan and the others are fleeing.¡± Lin Yue said gravely.


    ¡°But they are only Prime Warriors, and Luo Chan is not adept at flying.¡± Dean Hai spoke gravely, ¡°Over thousands of kilometers¡­ they definitely can¡¯t escape easily.¡±


    Escape?


    They could only escape while fighting.


    ¡°What about the contingency plan?¡± Lin Yue turned to look at another Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°The drone swarm has been launched, but it will take a while to arrive.¡±


    ¡°The Flying Heaven War Machines have set off with nuclear weapons.¡± The Flying Heaven Warrior said with a bitter smile, ¡°The war machines are also equipped with Origin Power Weapons, powerful enough to easily kill Second Rank lives.¡±


    ¡°But you¡¯re all aware¡­ at the Flying Heaven Warrior level, it¡¯s nearly impossible for technological weapons to cause fatalities, they can at best provide interference.¡±

    Flying Heaven Warriors, especially those who have comprehended True Intent, have incredibly resilient vitality, and their speed at escaping in critical moments is astonishing¡­ Even for nuclear weapons, as long as they are not foolish, nearly none pose a threat to them.

    For example, they could instantly burrow into the ground.


    In a second, they could burrow hundreds of meters deep.


    How to bomb them?


    As for other conventional technological weapons? Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors of True Intent could instantly form a Domain of True Intent with a thought, harnessing the power of heaven and earth, rendering most technological weapons completely ineffective.


    The so-called saturation firepower strike would be a joke.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan stepped forward to meet the challenge,¡± one of the Flying Heaven Warriors exclaimed, pointing at the projection screen.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Not good,¡± Lin Yue and Dean Hai hurriedly looked over, their faces changing slightly.


    In the flickering projection, the three powerhouses from the Cloud Beast Civilization were closing in rapidly, probably leaving only two kilometers between them¡­ and Li Yuan who had just been fleeing with them.


    His figure suddenly staggered, and his speed sharply decreased.


    He didn¡¯t turn around.


    But the decrease in his flying speed was, in effect, akin to turning around to face the battle.


    At this moment, through the projections, observers like Lin Yue and Dean Hai felt their hearts rise to their throats.


    They knew of Li Yuan¡¯s strength, suspected to be comparable to that of Yu Jinghe, but the power of the Cloud Beast Civilization was also extremely terrifying.


    That was at least the combat power of two mid-phase Flying Heaven warriors.


    ¡­ S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm, under the blood moon, atop the vast and endless mountains.


    ¡°Li Yuan, no matter how strong you are, it¡¯s impossible for you to take on three by yourself,¡± Luo Chan¡¯s face changed dramatically.


    ¡°Li Yuan, if we are to fight, let¡¯s fight together,¡± Yan Jing said in an instant panic.


    Seeing Li Yuan stop abruptly, their flying speeds also slowed down accordingly.


    But the very next moment.


    ¡°Run! Both of you run,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice cold, ¡°These aliens pose no threat to me, but I¡¯m only sure I can hold them off, not that I can protect you both.¡±


    ¡°As your team leader, I order you to flee immediately. I won¡¯t joke with my life,¡± he commanded.


    The telepathic communication was just a momentary flash.


    Yan Jing, and Luo Chan were both momentarily stunned; they were decisive individuals and immediately made their choice, speeding up again to continue flying into the distance.


    Because both Yan Jing and Luo Chan had immense faith in Li Yuan¡¯s abilities.


    It seemed slow to say.


    From the moment Li Yuan and Yan Jing spotted the forces from the Cloud Beast Civilization, to their flight from the scene, and to Li Yuan¡¯s decision to face the enemy alone¡­ the entire process lasted less than a minute.


    ¡°This human fool! He dares to stay behind and block us alone,¡± one of them said.


    ¡°He¡¯s not a Flying Heaven Warrior, just a Prime Warrior with True Intent,¡± the three alien beast powerhouses were first shocked, then immediately showed bloodthirsty and fierce expressions.


    A single person?


    In previous inquiries, their main focus was on this strong warrior with the True Meaning of Earth.


    But after the initial encounter, upon closer sensing, they found that this strong warrior of Earth¡¯s True Intent was not a Flying Heaven Warrior, and they completely let down their guard.


    Not being a Flying Heaven Warrior, with only Initial Rank. Sixth Stage True Intent Comprehension¡­ naturally, he was not considered a major threat to them.


    After all, creatures like the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and the Purple-Haired Gorilla Zippa were True Intent Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°If the three of them joined forces to defend, it would take us quite some effort to win, but this fool dares to stand alone; quickly eliminate him, then go and kill the other two,¡± Wu Sihai communicated telepathically.


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Zippa and Yan Xuan both responded in agreement.


    To this point, they had yet to realize their opponent was Li Yuan.


    After all, from beginning to end, Li Yuan was completely cloaked by his battle garment, with his face not visible.


    Wu Sihai, Zippa, and others who spent years in the Rob Sea Star Realm, often received information slowly.


    Although they had heard the name of Li Yuan, they subconsciously thought that this unparalleled genius mentioned in intelligence reports would need at least a decade to grow.


    Therefore, it never crossed their minds that the person in front of them could be Li Yuan.


    The two sides approached like lightning.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan holding a long spear, suddenly grew to a height of three meters, like a small giant, his life force surging dramatically.


    Facing the three powerhouses, Li Yuan naturally didn¡¯t dare hold back and unleashed ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± without hesitation.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong life force.¡±


    ¡°So what if it is a Body Refining Star Technique? He still has to die!¡± the three alien beasts roared, swiftly converging from different directions to attack.


    Boom!


    Around Wu Sihai¡¯s massive serpent body, cold air diffused instantaneously, mixed with a flow of water, spreading across hundreds of meters, as if to freeze everything.


    Boom! The cold air invasion swept over everything, causing the Domain of Earth formed by Li Yuan to begin collapsing immediately.


    And his body began to subtly suffer the effects of the invasion as well.


    ¡°Domain Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan instantly made a judgment, the opponent was at the 32nd level of Flying Heaven, with powerful and robust Origin Power, also using a Domain Star Technique¡­ even if his realm was higher, his Domain of True Intent was no match.


    If not a match, then abandon control of the Domain.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The purple-haired gorilla was already towering, nearly five meters tall, and directly used a Body Refining Star Technique, his massive body thunderously growing to ten meters in height.


    He wielded a weapon resembling a mace, with an overwhelming presence.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The mace, over six meters in length and faintly enveloped in a golden aura, smashed fiercely towards Li Yuan, causing the air to violently quake.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The black serpent, only ten meters long and appearing quite slender, had wings that gleamed with a silver light, like two immense combat sabers, swooping down towards Li Yuan.


    Where the Wing Blades passed, the very space seemed like it would be cleaved apart.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan gripped his long spear and burst forth, infusing it with Origin Power combining the Mysteries of Earth and Wind, enhancing his Black Chen Spear, a Semi Divine Artifact.


    At the same time, Li Yuan had activated the Supreme Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± and vaguely, the spear seemed to trigger even stronger fluctuations of heaven and earth, making this thrust terrifyingly potent.

    Chapter 466: Chapter 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_3


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Be careful.¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan hadn¡¯t fled far, still within two kilometers. As they ran, they kept looking back at the battle between Li Yuan and the three mighty exotic beasts.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A spear light, endlessly sharp and containing an incomparable terrifying might!


    Tearing through the vast sky!


    ¡°Boom~¡± The layers of chill enveloping Li Yuan had completely dissipated.


    The huge wing blade of the black Flying Serpent, Yan Xuan, had just collided with the spear when his expression drastically changed, and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.


    But it was already too late.


    Rip~ The spear pierced directly through Yan Xuan¡¯s extremely tough wings, and the terrifying might instantly tore downwards from the wound.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± Yan Xuan let out a painful scream, closely followed by his wings being torn apart significantly.


    A succession of blood scattered across the sky.


    With just one spear strike, the black Flying Serpent, Yan Xuan, was gravely injured, his body flipping over as he plummeted downward. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    As Li Yuan thrust his spear, the long spear suddenly revolved, spinning with alarming might, striking fiercely like a catapult against the descending ferocious mace with wolf teeth.


    ¡°Bang!!!¡±


    An immensely terrifying collision, as if two fallen stars had struck each other, creating a gust of shockwave visible to the naked eye that impacted an area tens of kilometers around.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The mountains below immediately started to collapse, falling apart, with countless boulders flying through the air.


    Boom!


    The massive purple-haired ape was flung backwards with great force.


    Li Yuan himself was also falling downward, plummeting for a hundred meters before finally steadying himself.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique! And it¡¯s the condensation of the True Meaning of Metal, making the attacks wildly ferocious,¡± Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brows.


    From the frontal collision just now, Li Yuan realized he was slightly at a disadvantage.


    In techniques, weaponry, and many other aspects, he held an absolute advantage.


    In terms of Star Techniques, they were evenly matched.


    But the opponent was Level 32!! Far stronger than him at the base level, and the True Intent he comprehended was adept at attacking, naturally giving him an edge in head-on combat.


    Yet, it was just a slight advantage.


    The most critical point.


    ¡°Every frontal collision, the terrifying impact would cause great damage to my body,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, ¡°If I were to keep clashing head-on with him, I would certainly be defeated.¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s no need for me to fight head-on.¡±


    The purpose of Li Yuan¡¯s spear thrust in the previous frontal collision was merely to test the strongest burst of his Spear Technique and see how powerful his attack could be.


    Now that he knew the outcome, it was time to end the fight in a way he was best at.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan moved, a faint cyan airflow emerged around his body, pouncing like lightning toward the black Flying Serpent, which had been heavily injured and was trying to flee in panic.


    It is better to break one finger than to injure ten.


    In some sense, killing such a second-rank exotic beast with True Intent is more valuable than an ordinary Flying Heaven exotic beast.


    ¡°Not good.¡± The black Flying Serpent fleeing in panic revealed a hint of fear in its eyes.


    Having suffered a spear attack, it was very clear of how terrifying the strength of this human martial artist was.


    ¡°Stop!!¡±


    The other blood-red Flying Serpent, Wu Sihai, roared furiously, its wings trembling violently as its huge body suddenly leaped forward, followed by opening its bloody mouth wide and spewing out a terrifying stream of icy light.


    Like a river of cold air, it struck directly at Li Yuan, with the air along the path seeming to freeze and bind layer by layer, frightfully extreme.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Sss~¡± An invisible spiritual attack, accompanying the cold air, instantaneously penetrated Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Die!¡± Wu Sihai¡¯s eyes emitted madness, eager to see Li Yuan frozen to death alive.


    This was another attack Star Technique he cultivated¡ªRiver of Cold Air!


    The cold air contained an amazing power of erosion, even a top grade Prime Warrior touching a trace would be seriously injured.


    And his spiritual power was quite strong, which was why he specifically cultivated a Spiritual Secret Technique, hoping to slightly influence that final moment, and then the river of ice reaching and striking would be able to severely injure his opponent.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    Li Yuan, who was attacked by the spiritual assault, showed only a hint of mocking on his face.


    Spiritual attack? A mid-stage Flying Heaven exotic beast, only a demigod using a spiritual attack against me would be more fitting.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Facing the roaring river of ice coming toward him, Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, instantly splitting into three, each spreading out hundreds of meters, effortlessly avoiding this terrifying killing move.


    ¡°Not affected at all? How strong must his spiritual power be?¡± Wu Sihai was shocked, ¡°And he can even create so many Phantom Bodies? How did he do that?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t his cultivation based on the True Meaning of Earth? Could he be a warrior of dual True Intent?¡±


    ¡°Damned hidden human pawn, so powerful a human genius, and yet you didn¡¯t inform us.¡± Wu Sihai was both anxious and furious, utterly unable to comprehend.


    Since when did the Seven Star Civilization produce such a terrifying Prime Warrior?


    There had been no news before this!


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan, unleashing his full strength, the three figures simultaneously flickered and moved, like three beams of light whistling to attack the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    Swish! His wings rotating, Wu Sihai roared, his body releasing terrifying cold as he lunged in close combat to attack one of the figures, trying to block Li Yuan.


    ¡°Ha!¡±


    Luo Chan also bellowed angrily, his huge Wing Blade sweeping through the heavens and earth, fiercely smashing towards one of the Li Yuans.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    ¡°Puchi~¡± Those two figures of Li Yuan, like illusory bubbles, instantly vanished and dissipated.


    ¡°False?¡±


    ¡°Dammit!¡± Wu Sihai and Luo Chan were both shocked and furious, immediately roaring as they attacked Li Yuan.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan¡¯s real body, however, had already bypassed the obstacle of the two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts like lightning, finally approaching the fleeing black serpent Yan Xuan, who was somewhat panicked and flustered.

    Chapter 467: Chapter 284: Ripping Through the Vast Sky! Kill! (Additional Chapters 15 & 16)_4


    Yan Xuan was well aware that relying on his own strength to block Li Yuan was impossible; the only chance of survival was to delay until Wu Sihai and the others arrived.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    The long spear was like a flying serpent, just a shadow of the spear, yet it seemed to contain countless ever-changing techniques, striking unpredictably toward the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    ¡°I must survive! Survive!¡± The eyes of the black serpent Yan Xuan were fixed on that thrust.


    His wing injuries were rapidly healing; suddenly he burst forward, followed by the massive wings that swept across the vast sky, his large body passing like a gust of wind.


    ¡°Shush~¡± The wing blade grazed the spear shaft, not colliding head-on, but withdrawing immediately upon contact.


    He had avoided the spear.


    ¡°I evaded! If I can dodge one spear, then there¡¯s hope I can dodge a second,¡± Yan Xuan thought ecstatically, pressing himself to the limit, focusing intently on the long spear in Li Yuan¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Two more lightning-fast spears tore through the vast sky, and although one grazed the black serpent Yan Xuan, causing his vitality to surge chaotically,


    he ultimately evaded them once more.


    At this moment, desperate to live, the black serpent Yan Xuan was fully exploiting his own limits to display the utmost extent of his movement technique.


    This made Li Yuan momentarily unable to do anything to him.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he vaguely caught a glimpse of a mystery within the wildly tumbling form of the black serpent.


    The fluctuation of wind.


    The rhythm of wind.


    Having followed Lie Feng Semi Divine in training for an entire year, Li Yuan was already nearing the fifth stage¡¯s limit, just a step away from the initial formation of the True Meaning of Wind.


    But he had been unable to break through.


    Until this moment.


    From the body of the black serpent Yan Xuan, Li Yuan vaguely sensed something.


    It wasn¡¯t that Yan Xuan¡¯s realm was higher than that of Lie Feng Semi Divine, capable of giving better guidance to Li Yuan.


    But rather, it was a mysteriously indescribable opportunity that precisely at this moment resonated with Li Yuan, causing his past accumulations to start a further transformation.


    ¡°Pur-cht!¡±


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Continuous spears flew by, and Li Yuan still hadn¡¯t managed to hit the black serpent Yan Xuan¡­ Clearly, in the brink of life and death, Yan Xuan had also entered an extremely mysterious state.


    ¡°Human, die.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Blood serpent Wu Sihai and purple monkey Zi Pa had already arrived, unleashing their attacks on Li Yuan.


    The attacks were wild and fierce.


    ¡°They¡¯ve come?¡±


    Li Yuan sensed the incoming attack from behind, his thoughts shifted, and he once again used the Star Technique to instantly split into four phantom bodies.


    The rhythm of wind!


    The four phantom bodies weaved through the air, evading the attacks of the two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts, while lunging with the long spear in his hands, stabbing at the black serpent Yan Xuan.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    This thrust, swirling with the True Meaning of Earth, fierce and vast, encompassed by the Mysteries of Wind from all around.


    It kept condensing, solidifying, integrating with the True Meaning of Earth.


    The merging of the two true intents, intricately exquisite, caused a wondrous change, allowing Li Yuan to vaguely perceive a profound and unpredictable fluctuation between heaven and earth.


    This fluctuation was fleeting. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But that mysterious rhythm also made this thrust more powerful than any before; its speed was terrifyingly fast.


    Four long spears exploded simultaneously again!


    Whoosh~ leaving four barely discernible trails of spear light in the void


    Subsequently, three trails of light dissipated, leaving only the last, dazzling and heart-trembling one.


    Only the real long spear remained.


    ¡°No!!¡± The black serpent Yan Xuan was horrified, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.


    What kind of spear technique was this?


    How could it be so much stronger than before? That shouldn¡¯t be possible!!


    If this human martial artist had such strength, he should have killed me with one spear from the start.


    In an instant, many doubts flashed through the mind of the black serpent Yan Xuan, filled with fear of death.


    ¡°Pur-cht!¡±


    Too fast!


    Too fierce!


    The spear, following the gap in the black serpent Yan Xuan¡¯s wing blade, spun and thrust viciously into its gaping maw, piercing straight through the head!


    Yan Xuan, dead!


    At this moment, it seemed as if the world itself grew silent.


    The blood serpent Wu Sihai and the purple monkey Zi Pa were extremely shocked as they watched this scene, feeling the terrible might of that thrust.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This thrust?¡± Even those fleeing far away, like Yan Jing, Luo Chan and even Lin Yue, Dean Hai watching through a screen projection in the Star Realm, were equally astonished at this development.


    Li Yuan, facing three on his own, among them including two Flying Heaven Warrior powerhouses, had managed to counter-kill a True Intent Second Rank exotic beast in a very short time?


    ¡­huh!


    The four Li Yuans in the void simultaneously turned their heads, looking at the still-shocked blood serpent Wu Sihai and purple monkey Zi Pa, revealing a set of white teeth: ¡°It¡¯s time to send you on your way!¡±


    The two great Flying Heaven exotic beasts looked at each other.


    ¡°Run!¡± Their massive bodies instantly retreated, fleeing towards the distance.


    ¡°Run?¡±


    ¡°Can you escape?¡± Li Yuan took a step forward, combining the mysteries of the two true intents, sensing the vastness of the earth as well as the fluctuations of the wind¡¯s true intent¡­His speed soared immediately.

 Chapter 468: 285: The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement of 50% Spiritual Awakening Level

    Chapter 468: Chapter 285: The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement of 50% Spiritual Awakening Level


    In the command center outside the Star Realm, Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and a group of Flying Heaven Warriors were unbelievably shocked as they watched a scene in the projection.


    The fierce battle that just took place had them extremely worried.


    They wished they could personally rush into the Star Realm to fight with the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa¡­ but this was only a Second Level Star Realm, and the Flying Heaven Warriors from the outside couldn¡¯t enter.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors could only guard outside the Star Realm¡¯s channel, preventing the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s armies from marching straight in to attack Blue Star.


    Flying Heaven Warriors from the outside couldn¡¯t get in.


    Exotic beasts of the Cloud Beast Civilization like Wu Sihai and Purple Pa, who broke through within the Star Realm, were trapped inside forever, unable to leave.


    Yet today¡¯s battle had reversed the situation in an instant.


    ¡°That spear technique that just exploded?¡±


    ¡°How did Li Yuan manage to do that?¡±


    ¡°Such spear technique?¡± It wasn¡¯t strange that these Flying Heaven Warriors were startled, for Li Yuan¡¯s performance was truly terrifying.


    Through the light screen, they couldn¡¯t sense the specific fluctuations of heaven and earth, not grasping the mysteries.


    They only felt that the spear was both fast and eerie.


    Facing the spear technique exhibited by Li Yuan, the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa chose to flee for their lives, which suggested how astonishing the might of that spear must have been.


    Subconsciously, Lin Yue and Dean Hai exchanged a glance.


    The two of them knew the specifics of Li Yuan¡¯s situation well.


    Especially Dean Hai, who had personally sparred with Li Yuan, was the most familiar with Li Yuan¡¯s combat methods.


    Just discussing the True Meaning of Earth, even if Li Yuan had broken through from the initial stage to the intermediate rank of True Intent, he probably couldn¡¯t have achieved such an effect. Like Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, who once fought against Lude Nef, he was only slightly at a disadvantage, but his life was not in danger.


    The Mystery of Wind? Even less likely!


    After all, before this, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t even formed the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind.


    The two powerful Flying Heaven experts had extremely high standards and, based on Li Yuan¡¯s situation, had both thought of a possibility¡ªthe combination of the Mysteries of True Intent.


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has just condensed the True Meaning of Wind? And combined the mysteries of the two True Intents?¡± Dean Hai held his breath, his heart trembling at the thought.


    A year ago, when Li Yuan left Kunlun Martial University, it seemed he had not even begun to grasp the Mystery of Wind.


    Just one year to condense True Intent?


    ¡°The combination of the Mysteries of True Intent.¡± Lin Yue thought of more: ¡°In the history of our Seven Star Civilization, there are hardly a few who could combine True Intents.¡±


    ¡°What a monster!¡±


    ¡°No wonder Lanyue was certain that Li Yuan would become a being comparable to the predecessor Dongfang Ji, or even surpass him to become Divine.¡± Lin Yue thought back to not long ago.


    At that time, Lin Lanyue had returned from the World within Worlds, and before going to the Martial Divine Star Realm, she had come to see him. Father and daughter had had an in-depth conversation, which included discussing Li Yuan.


    The combination of different True Intent Mysteries, complementing each other¡¯s weaknesses, indeed held terrifying power.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization actually all understood this point.


    But why did they almost discourage the strong from doing so? Or rather, why did no strong being attempt it?


    Because just comprehending multiple True Intents of heaven and earth was already incredibly difficult; most people only had the talent for one Law of the Great Dao.


    That was only the first step, which had already stumped countless people.


    The truly difficult part was the second step, the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent¡­ The difficulty was much higher than simply comprehending True Intent, so much so that throughout the history of the entire Seven Star Civilization, not even a few demigods managed to combine the Mysteries of True Intent.


    Li Yuan could do it because he had, one, what could be called a top-notch external cultivation condition, which made him progress swiftly on the paths of two Mysteries of heaven and earth.


    Two, it was his innate talent.


    He seemed to be naturally skilled at combining the Laws of the Great Dao of Earth and Wind¡­ This was also what amazed Lie Feng Semi Divine, who before Li Yuan¡¯s departure as apprentice, affirmed that Li Yuan was on the right path, encouraging him to persevere in following his own heart.


    ¡°If it¡¯s really the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°With such a short time to grasp two great True Intents, in the future he has a complete chance to step into the Laws of the Great Dao¡­ Once the Mysteries are combined?¡± Lin Yue hardly dared to think.


    It was as if he could see an extremely terrifying being, rising rapidly with astonishing speed.


    ¡­


    Inside the Rob Sea Star Realm, above the void of the contiguous mountain range, Yan Jing and Luo Chan were also flabbergasted.


    ¡°Is Li Yuan this strong? Why did he have us escape first?¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°He must have just made a breakthrough,¡± said Yan Jing, with a hint of a smile, ¡°Or maybe¡­ he doesn¡¯t even know how strong he has become.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, follow them.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Luo Chan and Yan Jing had abruptly stopped in their tracks, following closely behind, they turned into two streaks of light, dashing towards where Li Yuan and the others had gone.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Li Yuan moved erratically like a gust of wind, his speed had surged, rapidly closing in on Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Pa.


    ¡°Unexpected!¡±


    ¡°When I was observing the movement technique of that black Flying Serpent, I had a realization, and just began to form the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind¡­ which led to such a transformation.¡± Although Li Yuan was pursuing the two Flying Heaven beings, his mind involuntarily recalled the scene from just earlier.


    As soon as the embryonic shape of the True Meaning of Wind formed, S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Unconsciously, the True Meanings of Earth and Wind combined, making Li Yuan aware that his Perception Ability was soaring. In that instant, he felt the vast and unfathomable heavens and earth, touched upon even deeper mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, space¡­ endless space¡­


    There was no end!


    What is called the vast earth is first and foremost because space is vast and boundless.


    What is called fluctuating with the wind, the wind as well roams freely in endless space.


    The vast heavens and earth, the limitless starry sky, all exist within space.


    Countless mysteries of the Laws operate within space.


    ¡°[Combination of the True Meaning of Earth and the initial form of the True Meaning of Wind, comprehension of a trace of the Mysteries of Space].¡± Li Yuan glimpsed this prompt on the Divine Palace panel out of the corner of his eye.


    But there was no change on the Divine Palace panel. It didn¡¯t show a reminder like ¡®Mysteries of Space 1%¡¯ or anything like that.

 Chapter 469: 285: The Mystery of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_2

    Chapter 469: Chapter 285: The Mystery of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_2


    But Li Yuan was still both astonished and shocked.


    ¡°Mysteries of Space?¡±


    ¡°Could it be the legendary, supreme Space Law?¡± Li Yuan found it somewhat unbelievable in his heart, ¡°The combination of Earth and Wind Mysteries actually allowed me to touch upon the Mysteries of Space?¡±


    The Mysteries of Space were not recorded in any of the Seven Star Civilization data archives that Li Yuan had access to.


    Perhaps the related information had not been made available to Li Yuan yet.


    The reason Li Yuan knew about it was because of Ancient Torch Divine¡¯s inheritance, which clearly alerted and explained in the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± cultivation information.


    To cultivate the Supreme Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the Sixth Rank, one must have a certain comprehension of space.


    Meanwhile, in the inheritance information of the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± there was a description of the ¡®Space Law.¡¯


    Space, Time.


    They are the origins of all Laws, the cornerstone of all things in motion.


    Like the Wind Law, the Law of Earth, and others, they are the manifestations of the operation of heaven and earth. Demigods and many Sky-Flying powerhouses all have the hope of comprehending and stepping into the threshold. However, the Mystery of Space is too profound, usually only Divine beings could gradually come into contact with the Mysteries of Space¡­


    ¡°There is no display.¡±


    ¡°That means, my comprehension is too shallow, not even approaching 1% of the Mysteries of Space,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan dared not even dream of comprehending the Space Law now.


    Too unrealistic!


    His Life Level was insufficient, his spiritual power not strong enough, he couldn¡¯t even perceive the fluctuations of the vast space.


    ¡°Just now, I only used the combination of Earth and Wind True Intents vaguely to sense a trace,¡± Li Yuan harbored a bit of anticipation in his heart, ¡°This means, the combined Mysteries of Earth and Wind Laws might gradually lead to comprehending the Mysteries of Space?¡±


    This was undoubtedly a tremendous surprise.


    ¡°I¡¯ve only just touched upon a trace of the Mystery and am far from even the threshold,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°What I can do is continue to comprehend the True Intents of Earth and Wind and strive to combine the two.¡±


    ¡°Let nature take its course in comprehension, and perhaps one day, I¡¯ll truly step into the threshold of the Mysteries of Space.¡±


    In the past, when Li Yuan comprehended the two Great Laws¡¯ Mysteries, he only desired to follow the path of the Divine being in the Martial God inheritance and maximize his strength.


    But now, he had a higher pursuit and aspiration¡ªThe Mysteries of Space!


    This is the true path of light.


    ¡­


    It seemed slow to speak of.


    In reality, it took less than a second for Li Yuan to think everything through, and he didn¡¯t delay the pursuit to kill.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan, after his breakthrough, exploded with astonishing speed and quickly caught up with Blood Serpent Wu Sihai and Purple Ape Zipa.


    Neither of them had condensed the True Meaning of Wind, and their flying speed was far inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s post-breakthrough.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A long spear suddenly thrust out, following the invisible fluctuations between heaven and earth, emitting an eerie and dazzling spear light. The unpredictable spear light pierced through the sky, directly assaulting Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    Blood Serpent Wu Sihai!


    In the related intelligence, he was the strongest leader of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea, naturally making him Li Yuan¡¯s primary target.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Blood Serpent Wu Sihai suddenly roared, swinging his claws, while also spewing out endless cold air from his mouth. Layers of cold air condensed in front of him in the void, like a huge barrier.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The spear¡¯s might was swift and fierce, striking directly on the rapidly condensing ice, the tip of the spear erupting with power and instantly shattering layers of ice.


    Then, without any reduction in force, the spear¡¯s power swept across the Vast Sky, like a dragon emerging from the sea, directly thrusting into the center of Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s howling claw.


    The surface of the claw glimmered with a metallic sheen, clearly wearing a combat device.


    ¡°Sizzle~Bang!¡±


    The Black Chen Spear was exceptionally sharp. With one thrust, it almost penetrated the claw¡¯s surface Battle Garment, piercing into the flesh of the claw, and the terrifying impact also sent Blood Serpent Wu Sihai flying backward.


    As for Li Yuan, he only took two steps back.


    In such a direct confrontation, Li Yuan had already completely suppressed Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    ¡°This mysterious True Intent Prime Warrior has indeed broken through; his attack power is definitely comparable to Level 33,¡± Blood Serpent Wu Sihai thought with great alarm.


    With every level increase in Sky-Flying Level Life, there¡¯s a significant increase in base strength, coupled with the difference in Mysteries of True Intent, weapons, Star Techniques, and many other aspects¡­ this makes every level difference among Sky-Flying Warriors quite pronounced.


    For example, a Level 35 Sky-Flying Peak Warrior, under normal circumstances, if in close combat, could kill a Level 30 Sky-Flying Warrior with just one or two moves. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before the breakthrough, when Li Yuan and the monkey Zipa fought, they exerted all their strength, and the attack power was close to Level 32.


    And now, as a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan¡¯s attacks were comparable to Level 33, which was already astonishing.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the Black Chen Spear,¡±


    ¡°Even with the breakthrough,¡±


    ¡°My Spear Technique¡¯s attack power would probably just slightly overtake Blood Serpent Wu Sihai,¡± Li Yuan silently reflected.


    He had broken through the Mystery of Wind ¡®Phantom Body,¡¯ which did not greatly enhance his direct attack power.


    However, his improvement in other aspects was quite substantial.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, instantly dividing into four Phantom Bodies, transforming into four swift lights, hurtling towards Blood Serpent Wu Sihai.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Countless spear shadows enveloped Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, each spear shadow elusively difficult to track, all containing terrifying might.


    ¡°Not good!¡± The color drained from Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s face, as his worst fear had finally arrived.


    Even with his Divine Sense, he could not distinguish which Phantom Body was Li Yuan¡¯s true form.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Waves of cold air surged crazily from Wu Sihai, enveloping an area of a hundred meters around him, trying to freeze Li Yuan¡¯s Phantom Bodies¡­ Meanwhile, wisps of pale yellow currents also emerged in the void, clashing crazily with the cold air.


    The combined Mysteries of the Earth and Wind True Intents, with their strong might, were already on par with the high rank of True Intents.

 Chapter 470: 285: The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_3

    Chapter 470: Chapter 285: The Mysteries of Space! The Requirement for 50% Spiritual Awakening Level_3


    The Domain of True Intent formed in an instant, though still inferior to Wu Sihai¡¯s Domain Star Technique, was barely able to contend.


    Boom boom boom~ The collision of the two great Domains had little effect on Li Yuan¡¯s Phantom Body.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Wu Sihai completely lost it, his claws whistled, his wings slashed like knives, his massive tail swooshed and lashed¡­ Every part of his body became a weapon, frantically blocking Li Yuan¡¯s unpredictably enigmatic Spear Technique, where the real and the fake were indiscernible.


    ¡°Puchi!¡±


    ¡°Bang!¡± Scales flew everywhere, copious amounts of blood splattered, and even flesh was directly torn apart by the spear blade. Wu Sihai was completely suppressed by Li Yuan.


    Perhaps the last attack of this phantom form was false,


    but the next spear thrust turned real.


    The essence of the Phantom Body is in the illusion; as the flowing light continuously crisscrossed, Li Yuan kept changing the position of his true body.


    ¡°Zippa, save me!¡± Blood Serpent Wu Sihai transmitted a furious and panicked plea.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Boom! The monkey Zippa went crazy, turning into a streak of light as he rapidly fled. Seeing Wu Sihai¡¯s miserable state, there was only one thought in his mind¡ªescape!


    Survival was of utmost importance!


    ¡°Damn bastard!¡± Wu Sihai roared in anger, but still couldn¡¯t change his fate.


    Even though he tried to flee, Li Yuan was too fast, tangling with him time and again, causing Wu Sihai¡¯s speed to sharply decrease, and then forcing him to face battle¡­ Wu Sihai¡¯s injuries grew increasingly severe.


    Boom boom boom~


    Wu Sihai¡¯s massive tail violently lashed out, striking the mountainside and causing the entire mountain to collapse thunderously.


    The battle between the two powerhouses caused mountain after mountain to fall.


    Li Yuan had to admit that the life force of a Flying Heaven expert was indeed shocking. Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, equipped with full Combat Armor and invoking his powerful Origin Power¡­ Even if Li Yuan¡¯s Black Chen Spear hit his body repeatedly, it could only pierce slightly.


    But the steady increase of injuries weakened the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s resistance even further.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    As another domineering spear thrust attacked, Blood Serpent Wu Sihai barely attempted to dodge, but he was a beat slow. His huge eyes narrowed with a hint of terror, and he could only watch helplessly as the long spear pierced through.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± The long spear penetrated the eye of the snake, and the Spear Light exploded in an instant, turning the inside of Blood Serpent Wu Sihai¡¯s head into mush.


    His consciousness was completely lost.


    The surging Origin Power within him instantly lost its response along with his armor, and then the huge snakehead burst violently.


    Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, dead!


    ¡°[You have killed a Third Rank creature, breaking the shackles of the Divine Palace, and obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment]¡±


    ¡°[After your spiritual power reaches Level 37, the limit of Spiritual Awakening will increase from 45% to 50%. As the shackles of the Divine Palace have been broken, once the Spiritual Awakening Limit reaches 50%, it will continue to increase to 60%]¡± Two consecutive Divine Palace prompts flashed by.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan immediately noticed, a glint of surprise and some emotion in his eyes, ¡°Spiritual power requirement is actually Level 37.¡±


    Long time ago,


    from past experience, Li Yuan had surmised that to elevate the Spiritual Awakening Level limit from 50% to 60%, one had to kill a Third Rank Alien Race.


    But!!


    Merely killing a Third Rank Alien Race was not enough; one had to first elevate it to 50%.


    Doing so requires an extremely high level of spiritual power. Initially, Li Yuan guessed it was Level 35, but even after his spiritual power surpassed Level 36, the limit of Spiritual Awakening did not increase.


    Today, it was finally confirmed.


    It must be spiritual power reaching Level 37.


    ¡°To awaken the Six Star Pulse, the upper limit of Life Level is 36.9, unless one awakens the Seven Star Veins, otherwise it is impossible to break through,¡± Li Yuan muttered, ¡°To reach Level 37 in spiritual power is not that hard, but it will also take some time.¡±


    ¡­


    Swoosh!


    After killing the Blood Serpent Wu Sihai, Li Yuan¡¯s figure shot across the Vast Sky, swiftly closing in on the three fighting figures several kilometers away.


    That giant golden spider was furiously entangled by Yan Jing and Luo Chan, unable to break free. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As for the monkey Zippa? He was a mid-stage Flying Heaven powerhouse and had taken the opportunity to flee tens of kilometers away during Li Yuan and Wu Sihai¡¯s skirmish, faintly disappearing at the edge of the world.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan arrived like lightning, glanced at the golden spider¡ªa Second Rank Exotic Beast with consolidated True Intent and also mighty in strength, on par with Yan Jing.


    And those spider webs it spat out, suspended in the void, further handicapped Yan Jing and Luo Chan.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A Spear Light dashed across Vast Sky, heading directly for the spider Jin Mu.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The golden spider made a strange cry, its eight legs retracting rapidly in an attempt to avoid the spear.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± What seemed like a miss suddenly multiplied, the Spear Light appearing to twist the void, piercing through the head of the golden spider before it could react.


    Dead!


    ¡­ ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°It died with just one spear thrust?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan were on the side, their eyes wide and feeling a chill in their hearts.


    It was terrifying indeed.


    They didn¡¯t know that in terms of attack potency, Li Yuan was not considered too strong. Compared to Lude Nef before his breakthrough, he was only slightly superior¡­ but the combination of Li Yuan¡¯s Earth and Wind True Intent Mysteries infused his Spear Technique with both attributes.


    The threat was astonishing!


    That was why Blood Serpent Wu Sihai could survive against Lude Nef but perished against Li Yuan.


    ¡°Yan Jing, Luo Chan, you continue to sweep the other target areas,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice echoed in their minds, ¡°I¡¯ll go after that Flying Heaven Exotic Beast.¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s speed did not slow in the slightest as he shot up, howling in pursuit of the monkey Zippa, who had already escaped fifty to sixty kilometers away.

 Chapter 471: 286: Attack the Hive! Who is he?

    Chapter 471: Chapter 286: Attack the Hive! Who is he?


    ¡°Li Yuan has gone to kill.¡±


    ¡°What about us?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan hesitated for a moment when they heard Li Yuan¡¯s command. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Follow Li Yuan¡¯s orders,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice sounded in both of their ears at the same time.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan immediately responded, and then transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly heading towards the other targeted areas they had planned.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s body flowed with the mysteries of two major True Intents, his spirit closely aligned with the earth and sensing the invisible fluctuations of wind as he rapidly closed in on the fleeing monkey-like Zippa.


    ¡°He¡¯s really fast at escaping! I can only shorten the distance by a little over a hundred meters every second?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    This meant that their flying speeds were very close.


    Flying speed is determined by many factors such as the mysteries of the heavens and the earth, Origin Power, Star Techniques, Treasure Instruments, and so on.


    As a Prime Warrior who solely relied on the mysteries of the heavens and earth to maintain flight, reaching roughly five times the speed of sound, Li Yuan was already considered quite fast among flying martial artists.


    ¡°If I achieve Flying Heaven status, with my super strong Origin Power, it would also significantly increase my flying speed,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Boom! Li Yuan was in no hurry as he pursued his quarry.


    After all, as long as the distance between them was closing and as long as he could lock onto the life essence of his quarry¡­ he would definitely be able to catch up.


    Boom!


    The incredibly thick thighs stomped hard on the void, immediately fleeing like a streak of light.


    Zippa the monkey was fleeing desperately, his heart trembling non-stop and even feeling some fury: ¡°Yan Xuan¡¯s dead, Jin Mu¡¯s dead, even Wu Sihai is dead¡­ and yet, I¡¯m still being pursued? How overbearing!¡±


    All were dead, leaving only him.


    ¡°His flying speed is faster than mine.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯ll catch up sooner or later.¡± Zippa¡¯s mind worked rapidly: ¡°I can¡¯t escape the Star Realm¡­ Only by fleeing to the nests of the several great Mother Beasts can I live.¡±


    ¡°I have to escape to Elden¡¯s place! The fourth Mother Beast¡¯s nest has developed more than half, capable of exerting enough strength.¡± Zippa decided in an instant.


    Of the four major Mother Beast nests, three are mature, known by the Seven Star Civilization, yet have remained unshakable.


    The last one is a nest recently laid out by the Cloud Beast Civilization and still growing.


    ¡°As long as I can get there alive, I will surely survive,¡± Zippa felt a strong desire within him.


    According to regulations, he shouldn¡¯t lead Li Yuan to the nest.


    But survival is crucial!


    The other three mature Mother Beast nests, the closest one to him, are more than 3000 kilometers away.


    Only the fourth Mother Beast nest is about 1200 kilometers away.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two powerful beings, one in pursuit and the other fleeing, continually broke through the vast sky, their bodies merging with the heavens and the earth¡­ perfectly controlling their power while flying.


    If it were a life-or-death fight, it would be much harder to control power so perfectly.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, be careful,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice suddenly rang in Li Yuan¡¯s ear: ¡°The direction he¡¯s fleeing in, from a straight line, does not head towards any of the three Mother Beast nests.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, the shift to pursuit had happened so quickly, just ten seconds after killing Wu Sihai, and he hadn¡¯t realized this yet.


    ¡°There are three possibilities,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice sounded: ¡°First, there might be Sky-Flying level combatants from the Cloud Beast Civilization heading this way.¡±


    ¡°Second, the straight line he¡¯s rushing along could lead him to a place where he can save his life.¡±


    ¡°Third, he either ran in the wrong direction, or he deliberately led you toward something¡­ But that makes almost no sense, since the locations of the three major brood nests have long been exposed, and he should be aware of that.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan had grasped Lin Yue¡¯s meaning. As a Flying Heaven level powerhouse capable of flight, there¡¯s no need to take a detour.


    Flying straight is the shortest distance.


    And now that the purple ape Zippa has forsaken even Wu Sihai¡¯s life in its desire to escape, it must be incredibly desperate to survive.


    ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s something on the road ahead that could block me, or threaten my life?¡± A sense of vigilance rose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Although his own strength had greatly increased, at best he could hope to escape from the hands of a Flying Heaven peak powerhouse, but he was far from invincible.


    There were far too many things that could threaten his life.


    But Li Yuan would not give up the chase¡­ As long as he could kill this Zippa, the threat of the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm would drastically decrease.


    After all, it would be extremely difficult for the Cloud Beast Civilization to cultivate another mid-Flying Heaven level warrior in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    If he did not kill it today and let it escape, Zippa might completely hide away, only to reemerge after decades¡­ How could he possibly stay at the Prime Warrior realm for that long?


    ¡°I can¡¯t expect a stronger Prime Warrior to emerge from the younger generation than myself,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent, ¡°As long as I kill him.¡±


    ¡°Next, I can attempt to eradicate the three major brood nests, thoroughly cleansing the Rob Sea Star Realm, returning peace to Xia Country.¡± Li Yuan had never forgotten his initial purpose throughout his journey of cultivation.


    The three major brood nests are right there, they will not leave.


    ¡­


    Thousands of kilometers away.


    In the mountainside next to the fourth brood nest, the only remaining black Exotic Beast among the three Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, ¡®Elden,¡¯ was shocked as he watched the scenes revealed in the projections.


    The scenes in the three projections were rather chaotic and even blurry at times.


    They were the last images sent by Jin Mu and Wu Sihai before their deaths, as well as the messages transmitted back by Zippa¡­ A figure in black, with an obscured face, but overwhelmingly domineering, his long spear piercing the vast sky with chilling sharpness, a strength and imperiousness that made one¡¯s heart tremble.


    ¡°A master of Spear Technique?¡±


    ¡°A suspected combination of the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind?¡±


    ¡°When did a Seven Star Civilization give birth to such a terrifyingly talented Prime Warrior?¡± Elden felt a chill in his heart; this power was too frightening.


    Far beyond him.


    For a Prime Warrior to reach such heights, how profound must his skill and comprehension be?


    Sixth Stage initial rank comprehension is a common standard for a mid-Flying Heaven level warrior.


    Sixth Stage intermediate and high rank comprehension marks the level of a Flying Heaven peak.


    Like Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef, and Li Yuan before and after his breakthrough, their skill comprehension levels could all be considered at the Flying Heaven peak level, but the gaps between them were also significant.


    Sixth Stage Perfection comprehension belongs to the Demigod level.


    ¡°The ability to form four Phantom Bodies with a single thought, and his True Intent Domain being able to withstand Wu Sihai¡¯s Domain.¡± Elden mused, ¡°This human Prime Warrior must be of high rank True Intent.¡±


    Moreover, after searching through many past records, he found no trace of this mysterious talent.


    Suddenly~


    Woosh~ A large number of lights converged, quickly forming a light screen projection, in which a giant Flying Serpent was vaguely visible. The serpent¡¯s surface seemed to be undulating with a blood-colored flow, at first glance, resembling an enlarged version of the blood serpent Wu Sihai.


    In the projection, the serpent¡¯s eyes were filled with icy intent, seemingly looking down upon Elden.


    ¡°Elden.¡± A deep voice echoed in the mountainside.


    ¡°Saint Lord Wudong Xue.¡± Elden bowed slightly, at first glance appearing quite respectful.


    Within the Cloud Beast Civilization, only a Demigod could be addressed as Saint Lord.


    ¡°The intelligence you reported is very timely; the mysterious genius of the Seven Star Civilization is indeed unknown to us,¡± a deep voice rose. ¡°You have accrued great merit.¡±


    ¡°Soon, your reward will be sent to the Star Realm!¡±


    ¡°But as of now, Wu Sihai is dead, and Zippa¡­ may not make it back alive.¡± The deep voice continued, ¡°I need you to hold this mother nest beast lair.¡±


    ¡°As long as you can hold it, it¡¯s as if you¡¯ve gained another great achievement.¡±


    Elden fell silent.


    Hold this place? What a joke!


    ¡°Demigod, I can¡¯t do it,¡± Elden said, shaking his head repeatedly. ¡°That human Prime Warrior is too terrifying¡­ I think we should avoid the sharp edge for now and retreat immediately.¡±


    ¡°Are you planning to abandon the mother nest beast lair? This is an order.¡± A trace of fury seeped through the deep voice.


    He was just about to go on.


    ¡°Demigod, the signal isn¡¯t great,¡± suddenly said Elden, and then his mind stirred.


    Boom!


    The entire projection instantly dissipated.


    ¡°Hmph! You want me to stay here and defend to the death?¡± Elden muttered, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness: ¡°You can¡¯t command Zippa, can¡¯t make him not flee this way¡­ As long as the people of the Seven Stars aren¡¯t stupid, they will definitely suspect this direction.¡±


    ¡°It will be exposed soon.¡±


    ¡°They want me to defend to the death? A mother nest beast lair that hasn¡¯t fully developed? Even with me added, the probability of holding it doesn¡¯t exceed seventy percent.¡±


    Seventy percent hope sounds high.


    But Elden doesn¡¯t want to risk a thirty percent chance of death.


    If his people were willing to provide benefits, he wouldn¡¯t mind following orders, but not at the expense of his own life.


    Previously, Wu Sihai was the great chief, and everything was basically up to Wu Sihai.


    Or rather, the three great Flying Heaven exotic beasts kept each other in check.


    ¡°Hmph! Wu Sihai is dead; Zippa is doomed. From now on, I call the shots in this part of the Star Realm,¡± Elden swiped with his massive hoof claw.


    He quickly packed up all the items inside the mountain and especially covered up any traces of his presence.


    Boom!


    With a great movement, Elden swiftly fled along another passage in the mountain belly.


    ¡­


    In the core of the Cloud Beast Civilization, a vast planet teemed with countless exotic beasts.


    The entire planet was governed by many temples, each established by the civilization¡¯s demigods.


    Today.


    In one imposing temple that resembled a great serpent, towering nearly a kilometer high, the whole temple looked like a giant serpent¡¯s lair¡ªquite different from the usual human temples.


    ¡°He must die!¡±


    ¡°This Elden dared to disobey orders; he must die,¡± roared the Flying Serpent demigod, emitting a powerful and fierce aura.


    The raging sound echoed through the temple.


    It terrified the many second-rank and even third-rank exotic beasts in the vicinity of the temple, causing them to kneel and cower on the ground.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Wudong Xue, the demigod, felt his heart bleeding.


    He had paid a tremendous price to trade for a ¡®juvenile mother nest¡¯, and was it to be lost just like this?


    After all, why did he value the Rob Sea Star Realm so much? Because its resources and territory size vastly surpassed the fiefdom he held within his civilization.


    Of course, he was not the only demigod to invest resources in the Rob Sea¡­ it was a collective decision by many demigods, with him directly in charge.


    ¡°Now, we can only hope that the mysterious Prime Warrior is not strong enough,¡± Wudong Xue, the demigod, thought to himself.


    What can he do if Elden doesn¡¯t follow orders?


    Cool as a cucumber!


    Separated by Star Realms, he couldn¡¯t do anything to the other party¡­ and as long as Elden hasn¡¯t betrayed the civilization, when he contacts him again, he can¡¯t even get mad.


    Just like Elden, Wudong Xue, the demigod, looked up at the blurred projection of the figure in black, equally filled with wonder: ¡°Who is he?¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm? Zippa is dead?¡± Wudong Xue, the demigod, received the message and shook his head irritably: ¡°Fool!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re all fools!¡±


    ¡­


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡°Woosh!¡±


    That final, domineering spear thrust pierced right through the head of the simian Zippa, instantly obliterating all of his consciousness.


    Zippa¡¯s massive body crashed down, falling heavily onto the mountain below, motionless.


    Flying Heaven-level life forms wouldn¡¯t die immediately even if their hearts burst.


    Only the head was absolutely vital.


    ¡°Finally killed him. Practicing that Body Refining Star Technique really made him difficult to kill, much harder than that Blood Serpent,¡± muttered Li Yuan, shaking his head slightly, gripping the long spear in his hand.


    Just now, he had chased for 600 kilometers before finally catching up to his foe.


    The two had battled fiercely along the way, or rather, Zippa frantically fled while Li Yuan circled around him, attacking time and again¡­ After another hundred kilometers of prolonged fighting, the towering simian finally fell unwillingly.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan waved his hand and gathered up the storage magical treasure, the huge wolf-tooth club, combat armor, and many other treasures left by the other party.


    In the end, only a corpse remained.


    ¡°Target ¡®Simian Zippa¡¯ is confirmed dead, coordinates¡­¡± Li Yuan quickly sent the location coordinates to the base.


    A corpse of a Flying Heaven-level life form was of little use to him personally.


    But for the entire Seven Star Civilization, it held a certain research and commemorative value and would be counted for Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Fighting all the way here.¡±


    ¡°This simian Zippa fled in this direction; there must be secrets ahead,¡± Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, following the same direction to rapidly inquire.


    While flying, Li Yuan was fully sensing the fluctuations of the world around him, wary of missing anything.


    ¡­


    Just ten minutes later.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± After flying for hundreds of kilometers and inquiring all along the way, Li Yuan suddenly stopped, turning his head towards another direction; he had a vague sensation.


    Tens of kilometers away, the earth was sending out strange vibrations.


    Boom!


    He immediately corrected his direction slightly and sped over; tens of seconds later, he finally saw it clearly.


    ¡°Another mother nest beast lair?¡± Li Yuan stared at the canyon filled with countless dark mists, his eyes erupting with an astonishing murderous intent.

 Chapter 472: 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 472: Chapter 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood why the Cloud Beast Civilization had suddenly launched such a massive offensive, even deploying two Second Rank Exotic Beasts with condensed True Intent.


    It turned out there was a queen¡¯s nest hidden in the dark?


    The previous three queen¡¯s nests had been drawing the essence of the earth from the Rob Sea Star Realm, continuously giving birth to a massive number of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, and every one to two years, they would initiate a great war.


    Thus, they already posed a great threat to Xia Country, compelling it to keep a million-strong army on standby near the passage to Star Realm year-round.


    If one more were to be added? The pressure would only be greater.


    ¡°This queen¡¯s nest seems not yet to have grown to its peak,¡± Li Yuan compared it with the intelligence he knew and quickly came to a conclusion.


    And Li Yuan¡¯s perception ability was astonishing; he could generally sense the surging black fog within that gorge was faintly continuing to expand.


    ¡°It must be destroyed,¡± was the thought that immediately followed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Even if, for the time being, he couldn¡¯t destroy the three mature queen¡¯s nests, this fourth one must not be allowed to grow any further.


    ¡°Here, it¡¯s not possible to contact the base to send a message,¡± Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brow.


    Once past five thousand kilometers from the entrance and exit of the Star Realm, the signal would be cut off. (Chapter 282)


    And the location where Li Yuan was at the moment was nearly six thousand kilometers from the Star Realm entrance and exit¡­ well outside the range for signal reception.


    Now, Li Yuan stood alone.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan thought for only a few seconds before he grasped his Long Spear, transforming into a streak of light, bursting into the gorge.


    Swish!


    Other areas of the Star Realm might also be desolate, but there were still some plants around, and from time to time, you could see quite a few low-lying trees, but the sides of this enormous gorge, stretching several kilometers across, were completely silent, showing not even a hint of life.


    Even the rocks and soil were faintly tainted black.


    It was as if everything had been polluted, instinctively arousing disgust in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Closing in quickly.


    Danger! Danger!


    As Li Yuan drew within about two kilometers, his formidable spiritual power intuited a significant threat¡­ as if the enveloping fog contained a grave danger, one that could threaten his life.


    ¡°Indeed, this is a queen¡¯s nest still in the midst of growth and transformation,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shifted slightly, ¡°Judging by the aura it gives off and its size, it should already have grown past halfway.¡±


    About the queen¡¯s nest.


    The Seven Star Civilization had once breached one, hence there was detailed intelligence, especially since Li Yuan entered the Rob Sea Star Realm¡­ he had obtained all the data on the queen¡¯s nests.


    It was a very special symbiotic life form.


    Not a single entity, but rather composed of a large number of nurturing creatures that merged together, with the strongest core creature at its center.


    They also leveraged a rare treasure, ¡°Myriad Beasts Blood Source¡± to form a powerful and special Origin Power Array, which allowed them to continuously draw energy from all directions of the land to supply the nurturing creatures for breeding Exotic Beasts.


    To breach a queen¡¯s nest, it sounds simple: break the Origin Power Array, seize the Myriad Beasts Blood Source, and the whole nest would naturally collapse on its own.


    But!!


    Aside from the time in a Third Level Star Realm when the Seven Star Civilization happened to break through a powerful nest and got a glimpse of its secrets¡­ they never breached another one since.


    As for the three major queen¡¯s nests in the Rob Sea Star Realm, years ago, Lude Nef had led a large number of Flying Heaven Level Prime Warriors into battle there, facing off in a bloody war, even killing several of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s top combatants.


    Yet in the end, they could only retreat helplessly.


    ¡°In terms of strength, I should be slightly stronger than Lude Nef in aspects such as attacking, fleeing, and Divine Body Defense, except possibly in stealth,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, not yet aware that Lude Nef had made a breakthrough.


    ¡°If even I can¡¯t manage it, then I fear no Prime Warrior of my Seven Star Civilization could,¡± a cold light flickered in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°And as time goes by, the might of this queen¡¯s nest will only grow, making it even harder to conquer.¡±


    With that thought,


    ¡°Hum!¡±


    A thought crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind, and within a radius of about fifty meters centered on him, strands of earthy yellow and green auras instantly appeared.


    A domain combining two great True Intents!


    Overall, its power had greatly increased compared to before he had condensed the embryonic form of the True Meaning of Wind.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan, transformed into a stream of light, maintained a hundred-meter diameter domain akin to a vast sphere, thundering forward and rushing towards the queen¡¯s nest shrouded in numerous black mist.


    These mists were the strange powers exhaled by many creatures, meant to protect and conceal themselves.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    As the domain of True Intent descended overwhelmingly, it rolled forward like a terrifying steamroller, dispersing the black mist right in front of it. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But farther away, more and more black mist surged crazily.


    ¡°Roar!!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± From within the endless black mist, angry howls and roars could be faintly heard, as if countless Exotic Beasts were roaring in fury.


    In a blink of an eye,


    Li Yuan, with his domain, plunged hundreds of meters into the black mist, and even the domain of True Intent was nearly submerged by the black mist¡­ but as the domain dispersed a great deal of the mist, it became much thinner.


    Thus, from the outside, Li Yuan¡¯s domain of True Intent could still be seen.


    And within that thick black fog,


    Li Yuan already began directly clashing with the massive queen¡¯s nest.


    It was only now that he could vaguely glimpse the true appearance of the queen¡¯s nest.


    There were countless black biological tissues pulsating, like a sea of flesh¡­ seen from a great height, it was clearly an unbelievably large flesh ball.

    ¡°If it were a fully mature body, a tough protective layer would form on the surface, able to easily withstand attacks from the Flying Heaven Level, even nuclear weapons would have trouble destroying it¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind was flooded with related information.


    The Seven Star Civilization had conducted numerous experiments long ago.


    If it were a complete entity, Li Yuan would have no confidence in destroying it, but now it didn¡¯t even have an outer protective layer?


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Li Yuan burst forth, his long spear stabbing out fiercely, Origin Power stimulating the Black Chen Spear, invoking the Mysteries of True Intent, and instantly creating terrifying spear lights.


    They struck upon the massive black flesh ball. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    The first spear light tore a huge wound on the flesh ball, exposing countless blood-red threads inside, resembling blood vessels, constantly breaking and dissolving.


    More spear lights fell, causing even more damage to the massive flesh ball.


    The next moment.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The growing hive beast lair was in complete uproar, and a massive amount of black substance emerged from the giant flesh ball, forming terrifying black glows that surged from all directions like a flood.


    These black glows contained astonishing power.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan was also going all out, invoking the Body Refining Star Technique with a thought, his body instantly turning three meters tall, bursting forth with an infinitely robust aura, the shockwaves impacting in every direction.


    ¡°Kill!¡± With a furious shout from Li Yuan, he fiercely descended upon the giant flesh ball, his legs stomping down hard, causing the flesh and blood to explode.


    A stab from the spear!


    Whoosh!


    The fearsome spear light that cut through the Vast Sky pierced through large amounts of the black glows, completely tearing apart the flesh ball¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Li Yuan was utterly frenzied, in that instant, choosing to directly enter the depths of the hive beast lair.


    ¡°My Origin Power is limited! In such a war of attrition, I will certainly lose. To win, there¡¯s only one way to go.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°With absolute strength, break directly into the heart of the hive beast lair and seize the Myriad Beasts Blood Source,¡± Li Yuan was clear in his heart.


    Beyond this path.


    There were no other options in the short term.


    Risky? Of course, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t guarantee coming out unscathed, but some risks are worth taking.


    If one doesn¡¯t dare to risk attacking an immature hive beast lair, how can one claim to destroy three mature ones in the future?


    The path of cultivation.


    You must be cautious when it¡¯s time to be cautious, but when it¡¯s time to fight for your life, you must also be willing to go mad with effort!


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Li Yuan fully unleashed his power, with terrifying spear lights rampaging inside the hive beast lair, dealing devastating blows to the numerous mother beasts time after time.


    Similarly.


    ¡°Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh! Boom!¡± Endless black materials like a deluge, chased after Li Yuan through the vast channels within the hive beast lair¡­ It was a pure battle of attrition.


    The countless mother beasts attempted to drain the life out of the formidable enemy using massive amounts of energy.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan and the hive beast lair were locked in battle, about three hundred kilometers away from the battlefield.


    Deep underground.


    The black Exotic Beast Elden had been fleeing madly deep into the earth, more than ten kilometers down.


    He dared not stop for even a moment.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Fleeing Elden suddenly received a message, a transmission from the hive beast lair.


    ¡°SOS!¡±


    ¡°SOS!¡± The numerous mother beasts in the hive beast lair, which also had their own consciousness, could communicate and connect with the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    ¡°Save them?¡±


    ¡°Looks like the battle has begun,¡± Elden thought to himself, sending back a message with a thought: ¡°I¡¯m on my way, just hold on a bit longer. Once I arrive, we can join forces to defeat the enemy at once. Hold on.¡±


    ¡°Hang in there.¡±


    Boom!


    Having sent the message, Elden continued his frantic escape without looking back.


    ¡­


    Seconds and minutes ticked by.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two Flying Heaven War Machines sliced through the sky, tracing the direction where Li Yuan had disappeared, tracking him all the way.


    Inside the war machines, several Martial Artist pilots were observing the various map projections and Inquiry data.


    They were also constantly relaying this data back to an outpost base thousands of miles away.


    The outpost base would then swiftly feed the information back to the central command outside the Star Realm.


    ¡°How are things? Can you sense number one¡¯s signal?¡± Lin Yue¡¯s voice was tinged with a hint of anxiety.


    He was very worried.


    Previously, Li Yuan had been hot on the heels of the purple monkey Zippa, and after sending the last message ¡®Zippa killed¡¯, he vanished from the signal range of the outpost base.


    At that moment, both Dean Hai and Lin Yue¡¯s hearts were in their throats. What was Li Yuan up to?


    Now, it had been so long, and their concern only grew.


    Fortunately!


    The Flying Heaven War Machines took off from the outpost base and arrived on the scene. Both war machines were equipped with ¡®signal relay¡¯ capabilities, like temporary satellites, able to detect signals from even more distant areas and then relay them back.


    ¡°Still no signal,¡± the Flying Heaven War Machine responded.


    Lin Yue and Dean Hai grew more worried¡ªthe time was long enough¡­ He should have come back by now.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Signal detected! The signal is weak, as if blocked by an invisible force,¡± came the message from the silver war machine: ¡°The signal¡¯s location¡­ Two hundred kilometers away, we¡¯re calling him and heading there now.¡±


    ¡°No response to the call for the moment.¡±


    Boom! Boom!


    The two war machines, capable of reaching three times the speed of sound, roared through the sky, swiftly flying towards the location of Li Yuan¡¯s signal.


    Such multi-sonic speed war machines were very difficult for Second Rank flying Exotic Beasts to intercept. Normally, those beasts would not exceed twice the speed of sound under normal conditions.


    ¡­


    Outside the Star Realm, at the command center.


    Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and several other Flying Heaven Warriors watched anxiously as images relayed back from the war machines unfolded on the screen.

    Chapter 474: Chapter 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3


    Not long after.


    In the projected image, a huge canyon scene appeared, with only thin black fog remaining within the canyon.


    At the same time, an unimaginably immense lump of flesh, revealing only its top part which stood over a hundred meters tall and extended beyond a kilometer in length, like a mountain of meat, appeared within the line of sight of a group of Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ It was simply too colossal.


    It was as if a gigantic sphere was deeply buried underground, with only a small portion of its top exposed amidst layers of rock and earth.


    ¡°A nest behemoth?¡±


    ¡°This!!¡±


    ¡°This is a new nest behemoth.¡± The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was shocked.


    They were very clear about the location of the two war machines, which were very far away from the three mature nest behemoths, and those three were even larger¡­ This was definitely a new nest behemoth.


    At that moment, even without Li Yuan¡¯s report, these Flying Heaven Warriors had already understood the intentions of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization wanted to establish a new nest behemoth to accumulate more powerful forces and launch a stronger attack against Xia Country.


    ¡°Report.¡±


    ¡°According to the signal location, number one¡­ is right inside this newly emerged nest behemoth.¡± Messages from the war machine came in: ¡°The whole nest behemoth is shaking, with huge energy fluctuations being transmitted back.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s battle!¡±


    ¡°They are fighting! There¡¯s a strong presence battling inside the nest behemoth.¡± The war machine continued to send back messages.


    In the external command center, the group of Flying Heaven Warriors were stunned, as they clearly understood the situation.


    Li Yuan!!


    He, all by himself, had actually gone straight into the nest behemoth? It was too crazy.


    Even if this nest behemoth had not yet fully matured, its overall combat power was definitely at the Flying Heaven Level, and far stronger than the ape-like Zippa or the bloody serpent Wusihai.


    ¡°Can he win?¡±


    ¡°At least he must come out alive.¡± The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was extremely nervous.


    Having witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying strength, and considering his age, in the eyes of these Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan¡¯s importance definitely far outweighed that of a nest behemoth¡­ He was a future Semi-Divine strong presence.


    In the entire Xia Country, there had only been three Semi-Divines born.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!!¡± In the light screen projection.


    The surface of the grandiose nest behemoth suddenly shook, followed by a thunderous explosion, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, revealing a terrifying bloody hole over a hundred meters in diameter.


    Whoosh!


    A gigantic earthy-yellow energy sphere shot up into the sky.


    Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it wasn¡¯t a sphere¡­ it was a Domain of True Intent formed by countless earthy-yellow air currents.


    Within that surging Domain of True Intent, a shadowy figure holding a long spear could be indistinctly seen.


    He was covered in blood, mixed with large amounts of black substance, looking like a War God who had just emerged from hell.


    Rustle!


    The nest behemoth, which had still been shaking violently, suddenly started to collapse and contract, as if an inflated balloon was rapidly deflating¡­ until it finally returned to calm.


    ¡°Check!¡±


    ¡°Cannot detect the nest behemoth¡¯s main body¡¯s aura, no obstacle in inquiry, Origin Power Array has been breached¡­ 90% probability, the nest behemoth has been breached, its core mother beast has been slain! Repeat, this nest behemoth has been breached!!¡± Messages from the war machine transmitted in astonishment.


    The pilots, as well as the workers, Martial Artists, at the forward base, were all staring at this scene dumbfounded.


    Looking at the silhouette in the void.


    Even many had tears shimmering in their eyes at this moment.


    Meanwhile.


    This voice and the projected image had also been transmitted to the external command center.


    Including Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and the group of Flying Heaven Warriors, were all utterly dumbstruck.


    A single person.


    A Prime Warrior?


    To actually break through a nest behemoth? Even if it was an immature nest behemoth, it was still too exaggerated, too frightening.


    ¡°Mission accomplished, nest behemoth destroyed, core mother beast slain, and Myriad Beasts Blood Source seized.¡± S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°All three confirmed correct.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of weakness: ¡°Requesting return! Please continue inquiry and search with the Flying Heaven War Machines.¡±


    Li Yuan stood in the void, he had already sensed the presence of the Flying Heaven War Machines and discovered that communication had been restored.


    Naturally, he transmitted the message directly.


    This battle, he had given it his all, it was a desperate fight that he had won¡­ but he had also sustained significant injuries.


    He had to return.


    ¡°Agreed!¡±


    ¡°Number one, return immediately.¡± Lin Yue immediately ordered, ¡°Do you want to ride the Flying Heaven War Machine?¡±


    ¡°No need, I will fly back on my own.¡± Li Yuan responded.


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan dissipated the vast Domain of True Intent surrounding him, and immediately following, he shot up into the sky, quickly reaching about three times the speed of sound, flying towards the Star Realm entrance.


    ¡­


    In the Star Realm command center.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Lin Yue and Dean Hai looked at each other, still with deep shock in their eyes, momentarily at a loss for words.


    Normally, facing an immature nest behemoth, they would use a large amount of technological weapons to bombard it¡­ to inflict as much damage as possible, and then send multiple True Intent Prime Warriors to continuously attack from the outside.


    Finally.


    After destroying the power of the nest behemoth by a large margin, they would send the strongest True Intent Prime Warrior in¡­ hoping for a decisive victory.


    But who does it like Li Yuan?


    He went in alone and violently destroyed it in an extremely short amount of time.


    ¡°We won!¡±


    ¡°A nest behemoth, this was most likely the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s grand plan in Rob Sea Star Realm.¡± Lin Yue said softly, ¡°Destroying it, Li Yuan has accomplished a great feat! A great merit!¡±


    ¡°Dean Hai, I will immediately report this to Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡­ to prepare for the commendation! And make a national announcement, this is definitely an unprecedented victory for our Xia Country.¡± Lin Yue stated solemnly.

 Chapter 475: 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_4

    Chapter 475: Chapter 287: Success! The First Prime Warrior of Civilization (Seeking Monthly Pass)_4


    ¡°I understand,¡± Dean Hai nodded, his eyes sparkled with light.


    He knew the significance of this battle.


    Just killing several Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts was already a great achievement.


    But now, a single battle had destroyed a Mother Nest Lair, which was akin to saving the lives of a million soldiers!


    Most importantly,


    It was achieved by a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°To have reached this step, Li Yuan¡¯s strength must have surpassed Lude Nef,¡± Dean Hai murmured softly, ¡°He is now the first Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lin Yue first froze, then nodded in agreement, ¡°Right! The first Prime Warrior of the entire civilization.¡±


    With that thought,


    Lin Yue suddenly turned to the several Flying Heaven Warriors, ¡°Gentlemen, I suggest we initiate the SSS lockdown order. We must keep the information about Li Yuan¡¯s identity in this battle confidential.¡±


    ¡°At least, it cannot be leaked in the short term.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡± The Flying Heaven Warriors instantly agreed, also filled with shock.


    Under 20 years old, and he has become the first Prime Warrior of the civilization.


    This!


    It was absolutely unprecedented in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even with the vision of these Flying Heaven Warriors, they could imagine¡­ even in a powerful divine civilization like the Immortal Ruins, it would be extremely difficult to produce such an exceptional genius.


    A Demigod?


    No! In the hearts of these Flying Heaven Warriors, Li Yuan surely had the potential to rival Dongfang Ji.


    If this news were to leak¡­ no one could predict how much commotion it would cause. Perhaps many enemy Foreign Civilizations would stop at nothing to assassinate Li Yuan.


    ¡°I need to step out.¡±


    Dean Hai suddenly spoke and then stepped out of the conference room, entering an adjacent secret chamber.


    He quickly activated his smart ring to initiate the encryption communication setting.


    He conveyed the cause and effect of the battle directly to Fang Hai, asking him to make a decision.


    ¡­


    Within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Whoosh! Elden, who had already escaped over six hundred kilometers underground, abruptly came to a halt.


    ¡°Dead?¡±


    ¡°So quickly, the Mother Nest Lair has been destroyed?¡± Elden trembled inwardly, having received the message.


    The Mother Nest Lair had completely collapsed.


    He was unspeakably shocked; in such a short time, the Seven Star Civilization absolutely couldn¡¯t muster enough forces for an assault. There was only one possibility¡­ that mysterious True Intent Prime Warrior.


    By his power alone, he had directly destroyed the Mother Nest Lair.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°His True Intent Comprehension must be among the strongest within the Flying Heaven Peak levels,¡± Elden sighed silently.


    In addition to being shocked, he felt a touch of relief.


    He had bet correctly! S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If he had remained, it would have been certain death. But now¡­ he was still alive.


    ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°To have breached the Mother Nest Lair, he must have reached the limits of a Prime Warrior¡¯s strength,¡± Elden murmured, ¡°The remaining three mature Mother Nest Lairs, he should not be able to breach.¡±


    ¡°With his terrifying strength, he cannot remain at the Prime Warrior level forever. He will inevitably break through¡­ Ten years! No, twenty years!¡±


    ¡°I will stay hidden for the next twenty years.¡±


    ¡°With thousands of kilometers within the Rob Sea Star Realm and the ground extending over a thousand kilometers deep¡­ if I focus on hiding underground, who could find me?¡± Elden thought to himself.


    Whew!


    He continued to flee deeper into the ground, heading for a den he had prepared earlier.


    Meanwhile,


    He directly sent a message to the Demigod Wudong Xue, ¡°Saint Lord, I joined forces with the Mother Nest Lair and fought a great battle against that True Intent Prime Warrior but was still defeated¡­ the Mother Nest Lair is destroyed, and I have escaped with serious injuries. I beg the Saint Lord to provide some healing and life-preserving items.¡±


    ¡­


    The battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm had a colossal impact.


    Many related soldiers and warriors, not knowing Li Yuan¡¯s real identity, were still ordered to keep quiet.


    At the same time, information about the battle was rapidly transmitted to a few Demigods who were qualified to receive the news, shocking them.


    ¡­


    Feixing, a mysterious place hundreds of kilometers away from the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Within a void,


    ¡°Master, Fang Hai is requesting to speak,¡± a deep voice suddenly sounded, ¡°It¡¯s about Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Connect,¡± the vague figure commanded.


    Drip~ The communication was established.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, speak,¡± the indistinct figure said straightforwardly.


    ¡°Reporting to Master,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice was low, ¡°I have just received news that Li Yuan, in the Rob Sea Star Realm, is suspected to have achieved a burst of power combining Earth and Wind True Intents¡­ reaching strength level 33.¡±


    ¡°He can be called the first Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said emphatically, word by word.


    Silence hung in the air!


    After a long while,


    ¡°Command him to return to the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± the nebulous figure finally spoke, ¡°Rest and heal your injuries, then come to see me directly.¡±

 Chapter 476: 288: The Value of Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero Spirit Gun

    Chapter 476: Chapter 288: The Value of Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero ¡®Spirit Gun


    The core planet of the Cloud Beast Civilization, belonging to the Serpentine Holy Temple of the Demigod Wudong Xue.


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    ¡°Damn Elden! How dared he play me!! Do I look like a fool who understands nothing?¡± The enormous figure of Wudong Xue, covered in crimson scales, roared with rage.


    The roar was so undisguised that it formed terrifying shock waves in the palace corridors, capable of instantly tearing apart any beings below the Entry Rank.


    Thump~


    Thump~ A great number of Second Rank Exotic Beasts inside the palace were already crawling on the ground in extreme terror.


    Today, in his rage, the Demigod Wudong Xue had already killed several Second Rank Exotic Beasts.


    Extremely ruthless.


    Those palace Exotic Beasts were all aware of the reason, the defeat in the Rob Sea Star Realm was too devastating, even a maternal nest seemed to have been breached¡­ That was a precious treasure exclusive to the entire Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Inside the main hall.


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    Wudong Xue, with his huge eyes slightly reddening, stared fixedly at a distant light screen projection that showed a mysterious Prime Warrior fighting fiercely against a multitude of maternal beasts.


    With every thrust of his spear, a large number of beasts fell, countless killed or wounded, unable to stop his murderous advance.


    Until the end.


    The mysterious Prime Warrior fought his way to the core maternal beast, which only possessed the power at the Second Order Limit. But by relying on the Origin Power Array and the Myriad Beasts Blood Source for enhancement, it unleashed terrifying strength, and with the aid of the common maternal beasts¡­ it suffered the most brutal death.


    However, it also successfully injured Li Yuan.


    With the core maternal beast¡¯s death, the scene came abruptly to an end. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Wudong Xue could entirely imagine the succeeding ¡®plot¡¯; nothing more than the mysterious Prime Warrior seizing the Myriad Beasts Blood Source and then leaving smoothly¡­ This matched the partial information transmitted by Elden.


    But!!


    ¡°Damn Elden, who cowardly fled without joining the battle, allowing the maternal nest to be breached,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s eyes darkened with endless murderous intent, ¡°even has the audacity to claim he was gravely injured and needed precious healing items?¡±


    ¡°The fool, the core maternal beast within the nest could bypass him and contact me directly.¡±


    ¡°He truly deserves to die.¡± Wudong Xue now harbored a killing intent towards Elden.


    Time passed.


    He repeatedly watched the scenes on the light screen projection, especially the terrifying bursts of spear light by that black-clothed human whose cloak fluttered imposingly.


    Indeed powerful!


    Such strength, in a sense, was nearing the limit of a Second Rank Life.


    ¡°At least.¡±


    ¡°In my more than three hundred years of life, within our Cloud Beast Civilization, probably only the Demigod Yun Qing had strength at the Second Rank that could compete with him,¡± Wudong Xue kept his gaze fixed on the black-clothed man.


    The rest? Not one could keep up!


    Like the present Cloud Beast Civilization, amongst the massive number of Second Rank lives¡­ in Wudong Xue¡¯s view, not one held the hope to catch up with this mysterious human Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Who is he, really? Lude Nef? Yu Jinghe? None of them!¡± Wudong Xue shook his head, reflecting silently, ¡°According to the dying core beast¡¯s message, this person uses Spear Technique, seemingly a combination eruption of the Earth and Wind True Intents.¡±


    ¡°A combination of the Mysteries of True Intent?¡±


    ¡°A terrifying genius has emerged within the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Wudong Xue sighed internally, ¡°Still, we¡¯ll wait for the Saint Lord Council¡­ to mobilize the power of the entire civilization for a collective investigation.¡±


    The entire Cloud Beast Civilization was divided and ruled by a number of demigods, with the highest authority being the ¡®Saint Lord Council¡¯. Since no demigod possessed overwhelmingly superior strength, there was no ¡®supreme leader¡¯ in an absolute sense.


    Wudong Xue had already reported the Rob Sea situation to the Saint Lord Council, but calling for a meeting would also take some time.


    He had to wait!


    After a long contemplation.


    ¡°Koens.¡± Wudong Xue spoke in a low voice, resonating through the many palaces.


    Only two seconds passed.


    Whoosh! An Exotic Beast darted into the main hall, respectfully saluted, and was extremely apprehensive within.


    ¡°Tell Elden,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s voice contained not a trace of anger, ¡°that the great contribution he¡¯s made to the Star Civilization will not be forgotten. Healing treasures will be sent to him soon to help his recovery.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, tell him.¡±


    ¡°Once his injuries have healed, he must make sure to hold onto the remaining three maternal nests,¡± Wudong Xue looked at the Exotic Beast.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Your subordinate understands and will relay the message immediately,¡± the Second Rank Exotic Beast named Koens said respectfully, and then departed.


    A flicker of murderous intent passed in Wudong Xue¡¯s eyes.


    Even though it was Elden who lied, falsifying military intelligence¡­ he had no choice but to use him, to fulfill his not-too-excessive demands.


    This made Wudong Xue very displeased.


    Having been a Demigod for so long, it was rare for him to feel this way because of some Second or Third Order Life.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°Saint Lord.¡±


    ¡°Saint Lord.¡± Two huge Flying Serpents, over 30 meters long, slid into the main hall through the corridor, respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Yan Shun, Yan Li,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s gaze fell on the two Flying Serpents, ¡°I do not deceive you, the situation in Rob Sea is perilous, I need you to enter Rob Sea, then¡­ advance to the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    Both Flying Serpents flinched inwardly.


    Ascend to the Flying Heaven Level within the Star Realm? Wouldn¡¯t that mean being trapped in the Rob Sea Star Realm forever?


    ¡°You, as the talents of our Flying Serpent Clan, and I being one of the three ancestors, would I harm you?¡± Wudong Xue stared at them, ¡°Your ascension in the Star Realm might seem to trap you, but you can still make great contributions to the clan¡­ Most importantly, I will certainly train you with all my might.¡±


    Both Flying Serpents remained silent, heads bowed.

    Chapter 477: Chapter 288: The Value of the Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ _2


    ¡°I understand your concerns, afraid that you will never come out?¡± Wudong Xue said in a deep voice, ¡°But the entrance to the Rob Sea Star Realm has been shaking¡­ Clearly, there is a trend to expand into a Third Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Once it breaks through to a Third Level Star Realm, and you complete your mission, you will naturally be able to return.¡±


    The two Flying Serpents remained unmoved in their hearts.


    Changes in the entrance of the Star Realm?


    What Wudong Xue said was correct, judging from the existing signs, the Rob Sea Star Realm would sooner or later become a Third Level Star Realm, but it could be next year or it could be in a hundred years, three hundred years¡­ This had many precedents in the history of the Cloud Beast Civilization.


    Time passed.


    Eventually, under the various threats and temptations of Wudong Xue, the Demigod, and after he made significant promises,


    the two Second Rank Flying Serpents, who mastered skills at the ¡®Fifth Stage Perfection,¡¯ finally agreed.


    ¡°Cultivate Yan Shun, Yan Li, until their strength is strong enough,¡± Wudong Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness, ¡°then directly kill that Elden.¡±


    In his heart, Elden was already doomed to die.


    ¡°Hope.¡±


    ¡°To find out who this mysterious human genius is,¡± Wudong Xue thought to himself.


    This was the real thorn in his side.


    In his view, with such unmatched talent, if allowed to grow unchecked, they might eventually reach the peak level of a Demigod.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    After flying for several hours, Li Yuan finally saw two other figures outside the entrance to the Star Realm.


    ¡°Brother Yan, Luo Chan,¡± Li Yuan flew over like a streak of light.


    In those hours, Li Yuan had already taken several kinds of medicines, and with the amazing recovery ability granted by the powerful Star Meridian¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s condition had greatly improved.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°You broke into the beast nest alone? How did you do it?¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan also came up to meet him, looking at Li Yuan as if he were a monster.


    It should be known that Li Yuan¡¯s burst of power in killing Wusihai and Zippa had already made them gasp in shock.


    This rate of growth was truly frightening.


    Later, when the two of them were cleaning out other target areas of Second Rank Exotic Beasts and heard this news¡­ both of them were silent for a long time.


    Especially Luo Chan, who went from initial skepticism and slight reluctance to now being completely convinced by Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡°It was just a battle with all my strength.¡±


    ¡°I was worried about potential long nights full of dreams,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°so I directly entered deep into the beast nest. Indeed, I took some risks, but I was confident I could get out unscathed¡­ Fortunately, I succeeded in the end.¡±


    Yan Jing and Luo Chan both nodded involuntarily.


    Li Yuan made it sound easy, but the two of them could imagine the dangers it entailed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s head back,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°The remaining three mature beast nests are out of our reach for now, but with the Flying Heaven level forces of the Cloud Beast Civilization wiped clean¡­ the rest should be left to the ordinary Martial Artists and the military.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, the two of us have also killed over two thousand Second Rank Exotic Beasts,¡± Yan Jing nodded in agreement.


    A massive war of great scale.


    As a top-level powerhouse, Li Yuan was the decisive factor in determining victory¡­ but to sustain progress and even for the Seven Star Civilization to eventually occupy the Rob Sea Star Realm,


    relying solely on Li Yuan was far from enough.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and the two others then boarded an inconspicuous flying machine and quietly left the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    They arrived at the command center located outside the Star Realm.


    Inside the grand hall,


    ¡°Let us welcome, the victorious hero,¡± Lin Yue said with a smile as he clapped, looking at the Li Yuan trio who entered the conference room.


    ¡°Triumphant!! Amazing!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you,¡± the other Flying Heaven Warriors all clapped seriously, with great excitement.


    Even one of the burly men¡¯s eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried not long before.


    This scene left Li Yuan, Yan Jing, and Luo Chan feeling inwardly shocked.


    These people, after all, were Flying Heaven Warriors; their emotional expression seemed somewhat unusual, was it necessary to be so excited?


    ¡°Senior Lin, fellow seniors,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ve only done what I should.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you don¡¯t understand the significance of this battle,¡± Lin Yue said somberly, ¡°If you had just killed a few Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, although we would be happy, we would not have this exaggerated reaction.¡±


    ¡°But!! You breached a beast nest.¡±


    ¡°This is completely different,¡± Lin Yue shook his head with emotion, ¡°I have been here for just over two years, but some of the Flying Heaven Warriors present¡­ have been guarding the entrance to the Rob Sea for over ten years.¡±


    Ten years?


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look at those few Flying Heaven Warriors.


    He hadn¡¯t paid them any attention during his previous visit.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve been guarding this place for eighteen years,¡± a burly man with a somber voice said, his eyes were red.


    Li Yuan looked at him, remembering that his surname was Zhao.


    ¡°I am from the Northern Border Province,¡± General Zhao looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°At that time, I experienced the great turmoil in the Rob Sea, my grandparents, my parents, my uncle¡­ all my relatives were slaughtered by the Exotic Beasts that breached our defenses.¡±


    ¡°Only I was lucky enough to be away at the Martial Arts University in the Central Capital and avoided disaster.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a touch of emotion, and he immediately thought of the Fish Spirit Tide he had once experienced.


    What General Zhao went through was even more cruel.


    Such a heavy blow would be unprecedented for anyone.


    ¡°Later, when the disaster ended, the nation re-established a solid defense line.¡±


    ¡°Since then, I have practiced with insane fervor, not daring to slack for a moment. As a Prime Warrior, I joined the military and specifically requested to enter the most dangerous Rob Sea Star Realm, fighting a large number of Exotic Beasts at the frontline¡­ but we could do nothing about the beast nests.¡±


    ¡°We could only resist passively, time after time.¡±


    ¡°After becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, I applied to guard the entrance,¡± General Zhao said with a low voice, ¡°I swore!¡±


    ¡°Before I die in battle, I absolutely will not allow the Northern Border to suffer a calamity similar to that year¡¯s again.¡±

    Chapter 478: Chapter 288: The Value of the Myriad Beasts Blood Source! The Nameless Hero ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ _3


    ¡°I won¡¯t allow the alien race from the Rob Sea Star Realm to set foot on Xia Country¡¯s territory ever again¡­ In the past eighteen years, eight major battles.¡±


    ¡°Twice, exotic beasts reached the edge of the star realm¡¯s entrance.¡±


    ¡°But in these eighteen years, aside from the ten days I once went to Feixing for special training,¡± General Zhao solemnly said, ¡°I, have not taken a single step away from the military camp.¡±


    ¡°I must stay here!!¡±


    ¡°To guard this land.¡± General Zhao said lowly, while Lin Yue, Dean Hai, and a few other Flying Heaven Warriors listened calmly.


    Because they had long known of General Zhao¡¯s deeds.


    Yet Li Yuan, Yan Jing, Luo Chan, and a few others were all greatly shocked.


    ¡°The Cloud Beast Civilization has already seized the initiative.¡± General Zhao revealed a wry smile, ¡°We can only defend, we¡¯re helpless against the three mature brood nests.¡± Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Every year, a large number of warriors and ordinary soldiers die in the defense battles in the Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Year after year.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no end, those three brood nests continuously spawn a large number of exotic beasts¡­ We can only fight with our lives, wasting abundant resources here.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai, Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, they¡¯ve all tried¡­ all of them failed.¡±


    ¡°Eight years ago, after Lude Nef¡¯s operation failed, I was in despair, I didn¡¯t know how long such a war would continue.¡±


    ¡°Ten years? A hundred years?¡± General Zhao shook his head, his eyes reddened, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid to spend my entire life here.¡±


    ¡°But if this consumption continues, countless warriors, soldiers will die here, it¡¯s like a festering sore on the body of Xia Country, constantly bleeding.¡± He said, looking at Li Yuan with fervent eyes.


    ¡°Until, you appeared.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    ¡°If you hadn¡¯t turned up this time, then the fourth brood nest would have surely matured, and our casualties would have been enormous, numbering in the tens of thousands.¡± General Zhao said solemnly, ¡°But you, you breached it.¡±


    At that moment.


    Li Yuan, including Yan Jing and Luo Chan, finally understood why General Zhao and the other Flying Heaven Warriors were so emotional.


    Lin Yue, he was just the Warrior Commanding General, stationed here for only a short time.


    But the other Flying Heaven Warriors, also military commanders, had more contact with a large number of ordinary soldiers¡­ naturally feeling it more deeply.


    ¡°Most importantly.¡±


    ¡°You are still young, not even 20 years old.¡± General Zhao looked at Li Yuan, ¡°With your age, you probably won¡¯t become a Flying Heaven Warrior so quickly.¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, he still had to pursue the limits of a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Currently, you may not be able to breach a mature brood nest, but when you are stronger, there is definitely hope for the future.¡± General Zhao said earnestly, hope glowing in his eyes, ¡°If you can breach the other three brood nests in the future¡­ that would mean saving millions of lives.¡±


    ¡°Of course, I know that¡¯s extremely difficult, and I don¡¯t expect you to accomplish it.¡±


    ¡°Just your act of destroying that immature brood nest without regard for your safety¡­deserves my thanks.¡± General Zhao said deeply.


    ¡­


    Soon after, Lin Yue, along with Dean Hai, brought the three men to another meeting room.


    ¡°Yan Jing, Luo Chan, the Rob Sea operation has temporarily concluded.¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°The contributions you¡¯ve made will be fully tallied by the Alliance and Xia Country, and they¡¯ll calculate your Seven Stars Points for you.¡±


    Both men nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Additionally, regarding Li Yuan¡¯s matter, you must not disclose it.¡± Lin Yue said seriously.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°We won¡¯t reveal a single bit, we understand the importance.¡± Yan Jing and Luo Chan both hastily spoke up.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t disclose about Li Yuan, because in this operation there was no Li Yuan. The one who joined you was a genius from Feixing known by the nickname ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.¡± Lin Yue looked at them, ¡°You only know his nickname ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, adept in using Spear Technique, coming from Feixing, his age should be over 40 years old¡­ but beyond that, you don¡¯t know anything else.¡±


    ¡°Is that clear?¡± Lin Yue asked.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Got it!¡± They were not dull and instantly grasped Lin Yue¡¯s intention.


    After the two men left.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the power you have revealed in this battle can¡¯t be completely concealed, with the methods of the Cloud Beast Civilization, surely they will know quite a bit¡­ they will definitely investigate who you are.¡± Lin Yue said earnestly.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Pretending to be completely ignorant, that would assume the Cloud Beast Civilization is foolish.


    ¡°So.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already reported to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the Alliance Hierarch has personally ordered, the final plan is to create a reclusive genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, to cover up some of your deeds and brilliance.¡± Lin Yue said, ¡°This will eliminate some suspicions targeting you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Sometimes, covering up a matter does not mean suppressing the truth, but creating a bigger event.


    To hide a person, it¡¯s the same.


    If the Seven Star Civilization attempted to cover everything, then Li Yuan might be suspected¡­ after all, how many such talented Prime Warriors who use Spear Technique and have mastered the True Meaning of Earth are there?


    In the entire Seven Star Civilization, how many?


    The only difference is, up to now, aside from this battle, Li Yuan has never exposed his talent in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Of course, such a cover won¡¯t last very long.¡± Dean Hai interjected, ¡°But even if we can hide it for three to five years, or even just half a year, it will be helpful. By then, you¡¯ll have undergone another transformation and grown stronger¡­ At that time, your rise will be unstoppable, and if you¡¯re exposed, those alien civilizations targeting you won¡¯t be able to do anything.¡±


    ¡°It means that for the next while, you¡¯ll have to endure some inconvenience, with many achievements attributed to ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°And we can¡¯t directly award or commend you.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°I understand, it¡¯s no problem,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Rewards? S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    News report? But there¡¯s no actual benefit.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Yue suddenly spoke, ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine will be here soon.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a slight shock in his heart.


    Not even ten seconds passed.


    Whirr~


    An invisible fluctuation swept across, and an elder figure in white already appeared in the conference room.


    ¡°Semi-Divine,¡± Lin Yue and Dean Hai both respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan did the same.


    To countless people of Xia Country, Bai Shan Semi-Divine was akin to a deity.


    His status in the hearts of the people of Xia Country was so special that not even Dongfang Ji could shake it.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities, relax,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, his gaze falling on Li Yuan, ¡°How are your injuries?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re alright.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the root of the Star Meridian is injured, requiring a long period of quiet recuperation,¡± Li Yuan said.


    During the great battle in the nest of the hive creatures, the expenditure was too great.


    ¡°Hmm, Lin Yue, Hai Yi, step out for a moment, I have something to discuss with Li Yuan,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the two left, leaving only Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine in the conference room.


    ¡°Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°I¡¯ve come to you mainly for four matters,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine revealed with a smile, ¡°The first is to see how you are. You actually possess the talent of the Wind Vein; even Lie Feng Semi-Divine values you highly, and is willing to take you as a disciple¡­ This is indeed beyond my expectations.¡±


    ¡°It seems that initially, both Fang Hai and I misjudged you,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said reflectively.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it myself back then,¡± Li Yuan admitted honestly.


    If it weren¡¯t for the sensation during the Martial God Inheritance¡­ he would have found it challenging to so quickly embark on the combined path of the Mysteries of Earth and Wind.


    ¡°Now, your strength is so formidable that you should be called the number one Prime Warrior in civilization,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    This was within his expectations.


    ¡°The second matter is about the rewards for this mission. The calculation has been done, and it is ten thousand Seven Stars Points,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Are you satisfied with this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    This was, after all, a war in a Second Level Star Realm.


    Like the many Flying Heaven Warriors who desperately complete a mission, they would only reap a few hundred Seven Stars Points.


    To be awarded ten thousand Seven Stars Points at once by the Alliance, that was already quite astonishing.


    It was enough to exchange for a decent Semi Divine Artifact from the Seven Stars Treasure Vault.


    ¡°The third matter,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, apparently with some anticipation, ¡°you should have obtained the Myriad Beasts Blood Source.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance is willing to purchase the Myriad Beasts Blood Source in your hands for twenty thousand Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°And I personally am willing to offer twenty-five thousand Seven Stars Points,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Would you agree?¡±


    ¡°This item is of use to you?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes, its greatest use is to enhance vitality,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said frankly, ¡°The stronger the body, the harder it is to further enhance life vitality, especially.¡±


    ¡°Something like a Fourth Rank treasure, for you Second Rank Prime Warriors, is priceless¡­ but for Semi-Divine beings, the effect is not significant,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine continued, ¡°One Myriad Beasts Blood Source is more valuable than several dozen Fourth Rank treasures combined.¡±


    Li Yuan was astonished inside, was it really that rare?


    ¡°Senior Bai Shan, if you really need it, I can just give it to you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, immediately flipping his palm.


    Rustle~


    A red, head-sized, odd spherical crystal suspended in space, emitting strange fluctuations appeared.


    It was almost a perfect sphere.


    At least to Li Yuan¡¯s perception, he couldn¡¯t detect any imperfections, which was quite an amazing creation.


    Whoosh!


    The Myriad Beasts Blood Source directly floated towards Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t worried about Bai Shan Semi-Divine deceiving him because the information on the Myriad Beasts Blood Source was public¡­ its value may fluctuate, but will not exceed a certain upper limit.


    ¡°I cannot simply accept this for free,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, shaking his head, ¡°You being willing to give it to me is already a great favor.¡±


    ¡°Then still, as I just said, twenty-five thousand Points, you must accept this,¡± Bai Shan continued, ¡°And that includes the reward of ten thousand Seven Stars Points, which I will transfer to you now.¡±


    Swiftly,


    Li Yuan received a notification that his account in the Seven Stars Treasure Vault had an additional thirty-five thousand Points.


    The transaction was complete.


    The mission reward was complete.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about hiding your identity for the time being,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch and I will arrange everything for you. For now, return to the Martial Divine Star Realm to recuperate.¡±


    ¡°After you recover,¡±


    ¡°you can proceed with the application. The Alliance Hierarch wants to see you,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was startled, ¡°Senior Dongfang wants to meet me?¡±


    ¡­


    An hour later, escorted by Dean Hai, Li Yuan quietly began his journey home.


    At the same time,


    In Xia Country, the Star Realm channel,


    ¡°We interrupt with a special news bulletin.¡±


    ¡°Our forces have recently engaged in an unprecedented large-scale battle with an Alien Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm and achieved a decisive victory!¡± the presenter announced solemnly, ¡°In this great battle, the peerless genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ from Feixing, who is a supreme talent whose real name cannot be disclosed¡­ won the final battle.¡±


    ¡°He is a talent on par with Xia Country¡¯s Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°We thank him for his immense contribution to Xia Country and the Seven Star Alliance!¡±

    Chapter 480: Chapter 289: The Nameless Hero Meets Dongfang Ji


    After the urgent broadcast about the ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    In the capital of Xia Country, inside an extremely special building.


    ¡°Commander, are you sure you want to broadcast it like this?¡± the person in charge of propaganda couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Just like that.¡±


    ¡°The original intention of Bai Shan Semi-Divine was to keep a low profile,¡± the elder with a hint of gray in his hair said softly, ¡°but I think since the entire battle process is already known to the Cloud Beast Civilization, trying to completely conceal it is impossible.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, although we are temporarily hiding the true identity of the Spirit Gun, his deeds, his contributions to Xia Country¡­ should not be completely concealed, it should be made known to the countless citizens of Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°The identity of the Spirit Gun is being hidden now.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°But one day, his identity will be revealed, and by then, the world will know what he has done.¡±


    ¡°Heroes can be unnamed.¡±


    ¡°But we should not forget.¡±


    ¡­


    The great battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm was indeed an unprecedented victory.


    Therefore, the massive propaganda effort was not just about using the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± the genius created to cover up the existence of Li Yuan.


    On the other hand.


    The upper echelons of the Seven Star Alliance, more precisely the leadership of Xia Country, hoped to use the great victory as propaganda to further inspire the fighting spirit of countless people and Martial Artists, bolstering morale.


    After all, the casualties from the ongoing war were indeed substantial.


    Especially the war in the Rob Sea Star Realm, which had caused a severe calamity to Xia Country over decades, with countless deaths, but without being able to truly counterattack.


    Swiftly.


    On all television stations in Xia Country, as well as the virtual network community channels of Blue Star, propaganda about the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± appeared.


    ¡°Heroes unnamed.¡±


    ¡°The Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯s war with the Alien Civilization has lasted for over fifty years, with a recorded loss of one million one hundred sixty thousand soldiers¡­ and the recorded civilian death toll reaching¡­¡± the voice in the video was somber.


    ¡°The total economic property loss¡­¡± These figures flashed across the screen as the voiceover continued.


    With such overwhelming propaganda, it quickly garnered the attention of billions of people from Xia Country and across Blue Star.


    ¡°Our Seven Star Alliance has always wanted to thoroughly exterminate the Rob Sea¡­¡± Various battle scenes appeared in the propaganda video.


    Countless Exotic Beasts surged like a tide towards each War Fortress.


    Many Martial Artists, wielding weapons, fought the Exotic Beasts in close combat.


    Even a large number of nuclear weapons were used on the battlefield¡­


    Scenes of Flying Heaven Warriors and Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts fighting fiercely¡­ this was from eight years ago when Lude Nef, Yu Jinghe, and others infiltrated the Vast Sky of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    The battles were incredibly brutal and manic.


    The most chilling were the massive, seemingly indestructible and invincible Nest Beasts.


    No matter how fiercely the strong Martial Artists among humans attacked, it was difficult to cause even the slightest damage.


    Nearly invincible.


    ¡°Nest Beasts, these are the lairs of the Alien Race¡¯s Exotic Beasts in the Star Realm, giving birth to a continuous stream of Exotic Beasts, enabling them to instigate one war after another,¡± the video explained: ¡°For fifty years, we¡¯ve attacked time and again, but have never succeeded.¡±


    ¡°As long as the three major Nest Beasts aren¡¯t eliminated, the Rob Sea Star Realm will never find peace.¡±


    ¡°If the Rob Sea Star Realm is not at peace, Xia Country¡­¡±


    ¡­


    The numerous battle scenes from the past decades shocked many viewers.


    Many people initially watched the video out of curiosity, but at this moment, all of them were completely silent, deeply aware of the terror of the Alien Race of the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t there been any propaganda before?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve been failing all along! How could there be propaganda?¡±


    ¡°No wonder the casualties are so high; the Alien Race is too strong, those dense Exotic Beasts, there must be millions of them!¡±


    ¡°How can one break through a Nest Beast?¡± Millions of comments and barrages flickered across the numerous propaganda videos.


    Flying Heaven Level battles were rarely directly publicized on the virtual network.


    Even knowing the outcome, the propaganda videos still attracted countless people to continue watching.


    ¡­


    In the propaganda video, the scene suddenly shifted, revealing a highly blurred battle scene, the camera shaking.


    It looked very real!


    A figure holding a Long Spear, wrapped in a black Battle Garment, was standing alone, facing three terrifying figures: a Flying Serpent, a huge spider, a monkey¡­


    Many viewers were both excited and shaken.


    Many guessed the identity of the spear-wielding powerhouse.


    ¡°These are all Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.¡± The voiceover in the video said, ¡°The human Martial Artist confronting them is none other than Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°He is merely a Prime Warrior, yet he can move through the Flying Heavens.¡±


    In the video, an intensely fierce battle took place, with the mysterious genius ¡°Spirit Gun¡± powerfully slaying two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts in succession, and then pursuing another.


    Unstoppably powerful.


    ¡­¡±Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s a Prime Warrior, yet he can slay Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts? So strong.¡±


    ¡°He is a peerless genius hailing from Feixing!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is definitely just a nickname; his true identity remains unknown.¡± A large number of comments and barrages flashed by, as countless viewers became completely enthralled.


    If it had been a Flying Heaven Warrior who achieved this, the video would have certainly been exciting but wouldn¡¯t have had such a massive impact.


    In the propaganda, Spirit Gun is merely a Prime Warrior, which gives it a completely different significance.


    After all, in the eyes of countless ordinary people, Flying Heaven Warriors are almost the pinnacle of the entire civilization¡¯s military strength, far surpassing the level of Prime Warriors.


    Accomplishing such a feat against a higher class is indeed unthinkable!


    ¡­


    At the end of the propaganda video.


    ¡°In this great battle.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun eventually led other formidable Martial Artists to jointly break through a newly opened Nest Beast¡­ He is not just the current preeminent Prime Warrior of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±

 Chapter 481: 289: Unsung Hero, Meeting Dongfang Ji_2

    Chapter 481: Chapter 289: Unsung Hero, Meeting Dongfang Ji_2


    ¡°Even in the history of our Seven Star Civilization, he can be called the strongest Prime Warrior,¡±


    ¡°A hero without a name.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is just his title! But a hero¡¯s deeds should not be forgotten!¡± the voiceover suddenly became impassioned.


    ¡­Countless people in every country on Blue Star were stirred up, and the propaganda video quickly spread across various planets.


    The name ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ was remembered by billions of people in a very short time.


    There was a heated debate everywhere.


    ¡°Spirit Gun is too strong,¡±


    ¡°In the past, they said Li Yuan was the first genius of the Seven Stars, but now it seems Spirit Gun is.¡±


    ¡°How old is Li Yuan? It looks like Spirit Gun is already over forty.¡±


    ¡°At least, what Spirit Gun did, that¡¯s what a true strong person should do.¡±


    ¡°The first Prime Warrior of civilization.¡± Countless people admired him immensely, spreading the word voluntarily, and many young people even regarded him as an idol.


    To fly to the heavens and evade the earth, to slay the powerful of the Alien Race.


    It was incredibly domineering.


    ¡­


    ¡°This Spirit Gun is truly formidable,¡± muttered Wan Qinghe, the ¡®Deputy City Lord¡¯ of Jiang City as he watched the promotional video and privately marveled: ¡°I wonder if Li Yuan can ever reach his level in the future.¡±


    ¡°It probably won¡¯t be easy,¡±


    Years had passed, and Wan Qinghe had broken through to become a ¡®Senior Prime Warrior¡¯ and because of many merits during his three-year tenure, he had just been promoted to Deputy City Lord.


    This rate of advancement was beyond the reach of most district lords.


    His greatest merit was ¡®discovering Li Yuan¡¯.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡­¡±


    ¡°Logically, when he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, he should return to Xia Country to take a post,¡± Wan Qinghe thought privately: ¡°Last time I heard from Elder Fei, Li Yuan had become a Prime Warrior?¡±


    Wan Qinghe had not seen Li Yuan for a long time, only occasionally receiving blessing messages during festivals.


    Yet invisibly, both Wan Qinghe and Fei Qian, the City Lord of Jiang City, had received great help because of Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°So impressive.¡±


    ¡°The strongest Prime Warrior?¡± Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, the siblings, were filled with shock in their respective Martial Path classes as they listened to the teacher¡¯s narration and watched the holographic images.


    Li Muhua, in particular, was boiling with excitement.


    Years had passed, and they both had become high school students.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s help, they had access to cultivation conditions that could be called top-notch, and they were growing along a defined path.


    Like Li Muhua, who now had the best Physical Quality in his grade¡¯s ranking. Just finishing freshman year of high school, his cultivation reached the Second Stage¡­ With the college entrance examination two years later, he had every chance of getting into one of the top three global Martial Arts schools.


    ¡­


    The popularity of the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ promotional video also aroused the curiosity of countless people wishing to uncover his real identity.


    But with the order from the higher-ups, it was easily suppressed in the virtual network.


    And those who really knew or guessed Spirit Gun¡¯s true identity, such as the Flying Heaven Warriors and the three ordinary members of the Seven Star Mountain at that time, for instance.


    They all received strict secrecy orders.


    Moreover, most people¡¯s guess was focused on ¡®born in Feixing, older than 40 years¡¯¡­ No one suspected Li Yuan.


    After all, claiming that someone under 20 years old became the number one Prime Warrior in the history of Seven Star Civilization would sound unbelievable to anyone.


    ¡­


    ¡°How did Li Yuan do it?¡± Duanmu Hong, a Mountain Lord in the Martial Divine Star Realm, felt a touch of amazement and sigh: ¡°Not even 20 years old, and so strong?¡±


    Others did not know, and could only speculate.


    But as the Mountain Lord of Seven Star Mountain, he had access to the war mission acceptance records¡­ and regarding the Rob Sea war mission, the only match was Li Yuan.


    And judging from the weapon, the integration of the True Meaning of Earth, it was also very fitting.


    Furthermore, having received the ¡®confidentiality¡¯ order, Duanmu Mountain Lord already had his judgment.


    ¡°Li Yuan must have been injured.¡±


    ¡°He came back three days ago and bought a lot of healing treasures.¡± Duanmu Mountain Lord could look up the list of treasure purchases Li Yuan made in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    This was his privilege as a Mountain Lord.


    ¡­


    Returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm after three days, Li Yuan naturally knew a bit about the commotion in the outside world.


    But he did not pay it much mind.


    It was ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ who became famous throughout the world, what did it have to do with me, Li Yuan?


    ¡°The battle of life and death,¡±


    ¡°Only a blood-spattered trial is the sole standard to gauge skills,¡± Li Yuan silently thought.


    This great battle in the Rob Sea had given him a big shake-up, especially the actual combination of the two great Mysteries of True Intent, which let him truly feel the strength of the combined mysteries of laws.


    To heal his injuries, Li Yuan had bought several Third Rank treasures, spending about 300 Seven Stars Points.


    While healing, Li Yuan was also deducing and refining his Spear Technique.


    ¡°Once I¡¯ve completely digested this battle,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll meet with Senior Dongfang Ji again,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°then go to accept the next Martial God Inheritance.¡±


    The members of Martial Divine Mountain have a cultivation cycle that runs from July of one year to June of the next.


    First Rank Martial God inheritors, within this cultivation period, need only to accept the Martial God Inheritance once, and are not required to go in any specific month.


    ¡°Next,¡±


    ¡°In terms of skills, what I need to do is to take the Mysteries of Wind a step further, transform the True Intent from its embryonic form into the true True Meaning of Wind, and step into the Sixth Stage,¡± Li Yuan silently thought: ¡°Then strive to bring the True Meaning of Earth into the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage.¡±

    As time passed, the Cloud Beast Civilization, which had taken a great loss in Rob Sea, finally convened the ¡®Saint Lord Meeting¡¯.


    A mysterious virtual world.


    One imposing consciousness after another descended, one of which belonged to Wudong Xue, a Demigod.


    As time went on, finally, when the number of descending consciousnesses exceeded a certain threshold,


    ¡°Gentlemen,¡±


    a resonant voice echoed in this mysterious world: ¡°I believe you all know the ¡®subject¡¯ of the meeting, regarding the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ and related combat footage, you should have already seen it, do you have any thoughts?¡±

 Chapter 482: 289: The Unsung Hero Meets Dongfang Ji_3

    Chapter 482: Chapter 289: The Unsung Hero Meets Dongfang Ji_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°Wudong Xue! How precious is the ¡®Myriad Beasts Blood Source¡¯¡­ Our entire civilization can only produce one every five years,¡± a shrill voice rose, ¡°You placed it within a Second Level Star Realm and still couldn¡¯t defend it, you¡¯re simply useless.¡±


    ¡°Councilor, I propose that Wudong Xue be stripped of his qualification for the ¡®Myriad Beasts Blood Source,''¡± the shrill voice said.


    ¡°Hadi!¡± Wudong Xue roared in fury.


    The other demigods watched as though it was a show they had seen many times before; these two demigods had significant conflicts.


    ¡°Silence,¡± came the cold voice imbued with authority, ¡°Do I need to expel both of you?¡±


    Wudong Xue and the owner of the shrill voice both quieted down.


    The Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s councilor ¡®Black Plow Demigod¡¯, though not invincible like Dongfang Ji, could stand out among the nearly one hundred demigods of the Cloud Beast Civilization¡­ His strength was undoubtedly powerful, stronger than most Demi-God Peak Powerhouses.


    If dozens of demigods were to unite against him, Black Plow Demigod would still have to concede.


    But a single or a couple of demigods? Usually, they wouldn¡¯t dare to take a hard stance against him.


    ¡°Does anyone else have thoughts?¡± Black Plow Demigod¡¯s voice was deep, neither happy nor sad.


    ¡°According to the information from the Seven Star Civilization, this ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ is over forty and comes from Feixing,¡± a demigod spoke, ¡°But I¡¯ve looked through many reports from the Seven Star Civilization¡­ and no genius fits the description.¡±


    ¡°With such strength, he shouldn¡¯t have been without a trace in the past.¡±


    ¡°I suspect that this so-called ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ is a fabrication by the Seven Star Civilization to cover up the true identity of this mysterious Prime Warrior,¡± said the demigod.


    ¡°If the identity is a fabrication, who could it be?¡± another demigod spoke up.


    ¡°Could it be the rumored extremely abnormal Li Yuan?¡± a demigod suggested with doubt.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    ¡°How long has Li Yuan been cultivating? If he could realize the True Meaning of Earth, it would already be incredible, let alone mastering the True Meaning of Wind.¡±


    ¡°Right, there are no records of Li Yuan having a talent in the Wind Vein.¡± Many silent demigods spoke up one after another, directly denying the possibility.


    Time passed, and many demigods suggested various possibilities.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I have heard all your thoughts,¡± Black Plow Demigod finally said, ¡°Firstly, about the Rob Sea Star Realm, we must try our best to hold it, as it is an excellent springboard.¡±


    ¡°Wudong Xue, the territory you oversee will be taken over by the civilization council personally. Do you have any objections?¡± Black Plow Demigod looked at Wudong Xue, ¡°The entire council will invest more resources to develop the whole Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    The other demigods also looked over, seeing it as an excellent opportunity to intervene.


    ¡°No objections,¡± said Wudong Xue, looking somewhat unwilling, but inside he was very composed.


    He had expected this.


    The civilization council taking control? Ultimately, it would still be managed by one or two demigods.


    ¡°Alright, it will be managed jointly by you, Hadi, and Yan Tuoluo,¡± Black Plow Demigod suggested his idea.


    Which was unanimously approved by all demigods.


    ¡°For the time being, we don¡¯t have any effective methods to deal with this ¡®Spirit Gun,''¡± Black Plow Demigod spoke softly, ¡°For now, we¡¯ve just activated our intelligence networks to search for his identity and whereabouts¡­ However, the Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization definitely have a chance to kill him.¡±


    ¡°The Tianliang Civilization?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Many demigods wore puzzled expressions.


    They all knew that these two civilizations were also hostile to the Seven Star Civilization, but to actually kill Spirit Gun seemed difficult.


    ¡°The Mingxu Star Realm has just undergone a transformation,¡± Black Plow Demigod slowly said, ¡°I have news¡­ The batch of talented Prime Warriors from the Tianliang Civilization has been almost completely slaughtered by Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°Treasure has emerged.¡±


    ¡°And it has angered the native Flying Heaven forces of the Ruins Star Realm¡­ Tianliang Civilization will likely invite the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization to come,¡± Black Plow Demigod continued, ¡°Then, the Seven Star Civilization will likely send ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ there as well.¡±


    ¡°After all, according to the intelligence we know, this Spirit Gun¡¯s strength could be even stronger than Yu Jinghe¡¯s.¡±


    Many demigods nodded in agreement.


    Tianliang Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization had a vassal relationship¡­ More accurately, the Tianliang Civilization was essentially a derivative civilization from one of the divine domains of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    The two civilizations had a very close relationship.


    This was also one of the main reasons Tianliang Civilization was hostile to the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Wudong Xue.¡± Black Plow Demigod looked over.


    ¡°Councilor.¡±


    ¡°I believe that the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization would be very interested in more detailed information about ¡®Spirit Gun,''¡± Black Plow Demigod said, ¡°How much loss you can recover from them will depend on your own methods, the negotiations with them will be handled by you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Councilor,¡± Wudong Xue replied gravely, feeling slightly better in his heart.


    ¡­


    Time elapsed, the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, as well as several other strong Foreign Civilizations.


    Through various clandestine intelligence networks, they endeavored to uncover the true identity of Spirit Gun, but all without success.


    This was precisely the goal of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s upper echelons.


    To forever conceal it? Impossible! But with Li Yuan¡¯s talent, every six months to a year, his strength was likely to undergo astonishing transformations.


    July 10th.


    Within the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan soared through the sky, following the Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s guidance, he arrived at the majestic palace at the peak of Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡± From afar, Li Yuan already saw the figure in white clothes waiting outside the palace.


    He flew forward and respectfully saluted. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted up Li Yuan, he smiled and said, ¡°Being summoned by the Alliance Hierarch is no small matter.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s grace,¡± Li Yuan pretended not to notice the implication in the other¡¯s words.


    Right!


    Li Yuan guessed Duanmu Mountain Master would suspect whether he was Spirit Gun¡­ but Li Yuan would definitely not admit it.

    Guess as you will, I won¡¯t admit to anything anyway.


    ¡°Ha ha, let¡¯s go and meet the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said with a smile as he turned to walk towards his own palace.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    ¡°Through my palace, you can go directly to where the Alliance Hierarch is in seclusion. This is a secret,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master chuckled. ¡°Apart from me, only a few exceptional Prime Warriors throughout the generations have known about this.¡±


    Li Yuan understood that only those who were qualified to meet with Dongfang Ji would be privy to this secret.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Following Duanmu Mountain Master, Li Yuan entered the palace. From the outside, the palace looked ancient and majestic, reminiscent of a historical palace, but inside, the decor was quite modern.


    They proceeded to a corridor on one side of a side hall.


    Li Yuan then saw, not far away, a passage shimmering with flowing light, faintly leading to another world.


    This immediately reminded Li Yuan of the pathways to the World within Worlds, the two being very similar.


    ¡°Enter,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master beckoned.


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch is already waiting for you,¡± Duanmu Mountain Master said solemnly. ¡°Remember, there¡¯s no need to be overly humble in front of the Alliance Hierarch, but you must not be disrespectful either. Treat him as you would a normal elder.¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you for the reminder, Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡­


    With one step, Li Yuan walked into the light-screen passage, surrounded by flowing luminescence, still feeling as though he was being washed over by flowing water.


    Enveloped by an invisible force, after a long while,


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan gently landed on the ground, looking around.


    It was a rather dim space, and it felt as though he was standing on glass, with a void deeper in and a mist enshrouding the surroundings.


    There was no end in sight.


    And it made Li Yuan cautious about making any rash moves.


    ¡°Where is this? Even my smart ring has lost its signal,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Could this be another space similar to the World within Worlds?¡±


    Suddenly.


    Hum~


    An invisible force enveloped him, carrying Li Yuan forward. The force was so strong and powerful that Li Yuan couldn¡¯t resist it at all.


    Whoosh! After flying only a few hundred meters, Li Yuan gently landed.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice rang out.


    The voice, like thunder on a clear day, made Li Yuan¡¯s spirit tremble.


    Only then did he realize that in the midst of the fog not far away sat a tall, sturdy man with short hair, dressed in black robes. His figure was indistinct, seated cross-legged in the void.


    His face was blurred and indistinguishable, but the invisible presence that he emitted enveloped the area, making Li Yuan hold his breath and his head buzz.


    Rumbling~ Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®vision¡¯ seemed to change, as if all that remained was the silhouette of the man in black robes.


    He was like the very essence of heaven and earth itself.


    In an instant,


    It gave Li Yuan an illusion, like the time he saw the Phantom of the Ancient Torch Divine¡­ but whereas the Ancient Torch Divine was a phantom, the man in black robes before him was real.

    Moreover, Li Yuan also had the strange feeling that even though there were only a few tens of meters between him and the man in black robes, it was as if a layer of space separated them.


    It was all very strange.


    Li Yuan also deeply felt the terror of Dongfang Ji, the sensation he gave far surpassed any demigod Li Yuan had seen.


    Even Lie Feng, as a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse, seemed far inferior to Dongfang Ji in Li Yuan¡¯s senses.


    ¡°`


    After a long while,


    Li Yuan, relying on his strong spiritual power, just barely managed to come back to his senses, then he respectfully performed a salute, ¡°Li Yuan, greets the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Not bad!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai is right, both your spiritual power and willpower are extremely strong.¡± Dongfang Ji finally spoke, his voice low and devoid of any emotion, ¡°Your Visualization Method probably surpasses the ordinary Divine Visualizations.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, unsure how to respond.


    ¡°Everyone has their own encounters.¡±


    ¡°Having your own set of encounters is a good thing.¡± The ethereal voice of Dongfang Ji sounded: ¡°Li Yuan, do you know why I did not oppose your decision to comprehend The Mystery of Wind again?¡±


    ¡°Law Integration?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Correct! And also not correct.¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan calmly, ¡°Law Integration is the goal, but it is not the ultimate goal.¡±


    Li Yuan looked puzzled.


    ¡°The Law of the Great Dao is vast and boundless,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°like your teacher ¡®Lie Feng Semi-Divine,¡¯ like Fang Hai, like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, they have all stepped into the threshold of Laws.¡±


    ¡°Even for Lie Feng Semi-Divine, what he has comprehended is but a drop in the ocean of the Wind Law.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    The more he cultivated, the more he perceived the profound mysteries of the operation of heaven and earth, and the more he agreed with Dongfang Ji¡¯s words.


    The heavens and earth are vast, and the operation of Laws indeed difficult to fully comprehend.


    ¡°Attempting to comprehend a single Law of the Great Dao alone is tough,¡± Dongfang Ji explained, ¡°thus, many Demigods and even Divine beings also try to comprehend other Laws of the Great Dao in the hope of gaining insight by analogy¡­ The mysteries of heaven and earth are one whole.¡±


    ¡°The Mystery of different Laws, when come into contact, might provoke new enlightenment within oneself.¡±


    ¡°And even¡ªfusion with each other!¡±


    ¡°The integration of different Laws is very difficult,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°for you, currently, it¡¯s just the Mysteries of True Intent combining, which is relatively easier.¡±


    ¡°However, relative to your age, it¡¯s already quite astonishing,¡± Dongfang Ji continued.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    His own achievements, if not considering age, indeed were not too exaggerated; probably many Demigods could hope to achieve the same.


    ¡°When you began following Lie Feng Semi-Divine in cultivation, I originally just had the thought of ¡®letting you try,''¡± Dongfang Ji indifferently said, ¡°the results proved that you are very suited for this path, achieving considerable success in just one year.¡±


    ¡°The combination of Earth and Wind is also extremely beneficial for sensing the existence of space.¡±


    ¡°My expectation for your future progress,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°is separate advancement of Earth and Wind into the threshold of Laws, and then their integration¡­ you will have the chance to perceive the Mysteries of Space.¡±


    ¡°Then, your path as a Demigod, and even as a Divine, will be exceedingly smooth.¡±


    ¡°You will truly have the hope to surpass me,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s voice was soft, yet it contained expectation.


    Li Yuan, however, was astounded.


    Both Earth and Wind stepping into the threshold of Laws, their integration? The chance to sense the Mysteries of Space?


    But in reality, it seemed as if he had already perceived a hint of Mysteries of Space when he initially combined True Intent.


    ¡°It seems you do not understand,¡± Dongfang Ji said as he sat cross-legged in the void.


    ¡°The operation of heaven and earth contains the ultimate Mystery, the most elusive to contemplate is the Mystery of Time,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke calmly, ¡°Time is taboo, difficult to touch, even Divine beings cannot step into that domain.¡±


    ¡°Just after Time, comes the Space Law.¡±


    ¡°Space is the origin of all laws, the foundation for the birth of all life and everything in heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Without space, everything would be meaningless.¡±


    ¡°Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder¡­ the Seven Great Laws all originate from the Space Law, yet are distinct from the Space Law,¡± Dongfang Ji continued slowly, ¡°Comprehending a single Law of the Great Dao independently, the further you progress, the harder it becomes.¡±


    ¡°But if one could touch the Mysteries of Space early on, even stepping into the threshold of the Space Law,¡±


    ¡°Using the overall sense of the Space Law to re-deduce the Seven Great Laws, one¡¯s efficiency could increase tenfold, a hundredfold, and one might even break through many bottlenecks with greater ease.¡±


    ¡°This is the greatest significance of Law Integration,¡± Dongfang Ji said.

 Chapter 484: 290: The Alliance Hierarchs Gifts and Promises (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 484: Chapter 290: The Alliance Hierarch¡¯s Gifts and Promises (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Time passed, with a detailed explanation from Dongfang Ji.


    Li Yuan had come to understand that the Seven Great Laws, namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, could also be called the Seven Fundamental Laws.


    They were the cornerstone of the natural order and the workings of the universe.


    The Seven Fundamental Laws all originated from the vast, endless space, and their relationship with the Space Law was one of mutual dependence.


    ¡°The Seven Fundamental Laws, the Space Law, and even the most mysterious Time Law¡­ The universe is vast; all these laws are inherently unified.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°To comprehend each fundamental law is just to understand one aspect of the universe¡¯s mystery.¡± Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°By grasping just one aspect, trying to deduce the whole from a part, sensing the existence of space is naturally difficult; one must comprehend to a very advanced level.¡±


    ¡°But if one comprehends two laws¡­ Their combination allows one to sense the existence of space from different aspects, making it easier to comprehend the Space Law in the future.¡±


    ¡°Once the Space Law is deeply understood, it¡¯s like having a foundation for a skyscraper¡­ Starting from space to comprehend the Seven Fundamental Laws will naturally become much easier.¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly, ¡°These two are mutually cyclical, continuously providing positive feedback to each other.¡±


    This was a broad and noble path.


    Only, it was extremely difficult to walk this path.


    Firstly, one needed to have extremely high talent in several laws, and secondly, the process of combining the mysteries of the laws must be flawless.


    Extremely tough!


    Many demigods struggle even to reach the threshold of the mysteries of the universe, let alone simultaneously ponder multiple laws.


    Even for Li Yuan, when combining the two Truth Intent powers, he could sense a trace of space fluctuations¡­ but it was just a trace.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly spoke, ¡°If we go by that, if a person comprehends three laws, or even four laws¡­ Wouldn¡¯t it be even easier to sense the mysteries of space?¡±


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°Theoretically, that is the case,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, ¡°However, you should be able to feel the difficulty of combining the mysteries of the laws by practicing two of them.¡±


    ¡°The more laws you combine, the easier it is to make mistakes¡­ Once the combination of laws goes wrong, it signifies a fundamental misunderstanding of the universe¡¯s mysteries, which is very hard to correct. It might hinder your progress in the laws you¡¯ve studied.¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°It could even affect your perception of space.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded.


    What the Alliance Hierarch said was somewhat similar to what Teacher Lie Feng had mentioned.


    ¡°About your recent battle experience in the Rob Sea Star Realm, I have some understanding. What do you think about it?¡± Dongfang Ji said, his face still indistinct.


    But his voice clearly entered Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Thoughts?¡±


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke gravely, ¡°If possible, once I become stronger, I want to completely eradicate the Alien Race from the entire Rob Sea Star Realm, and even from the many Second Level Star Realms.¡±


    Dongfang Ji couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    That wasn¡¯t his original intention for asking.


    ¡°Why?¡± Dongfang Ji asked without any change in tone, ¡°I¡¯ve read the reports, when you discovered that immature nest creature den, you did not hesitate to kill your way in. Weren¡¯t you worried about dying there?¡±


    ¡°Worried about death?¡± Li Yuan fell silent for a moment, thinking of many people.


    He thought of his uncle, of his late teacher Fan Jin, of Teacher Xu Bo¡­ and also of what General Zhao had said at the headquarters the other day, his eyes nearly brimming with tears.


    All of this had deeply moved Li Yuan¡¯s heart time and again.


    And it had strengthened his resolve time and again.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I too am afraid of dying here.¡±


    ¡°But, I do not wish to see more people die because of this. I feel we shouldn¡¯t continue to delay and wait for future generations to solve these problems,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly, without offering further explanation.


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes flickered slightly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s statement ¡°we shouldn¡¯t wait for future generations to solve these problems¡± struck a chord in his heart.


    Dongfang Ji had thoroughly studied Li Yuan¡¯s past.


    In Dongfang Ji¡¯s view, when Li Yuan was young, he struggled hard mostly for his family and his personal goals.


    But as he grew, the experiences of his uncle, teachers¡­ and the events he lived through were invisibly influencing the formation of Li Yuan¡¯s character.


    Until today.


    Through personal contact and conversations, Dongfang Ji could truly feel something in Li Yuan that was different from the ordinary Martial Path prodigy.


    To have such a will and belief at the age of under 20 was very rare for Li Yuan.


    As Li Yuan thought, so he acted.


    Dongfang Ji was very pleased with Li Yuan and many thoughts flashed through his mind.


    As the supreme leader of the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji had many principles when it came to nurturing the younger generation.


    For example, compared to some prodigies with pure and astonishing talent, he would repeatedly test their character.


    He preferred to cultivate those with slightly less talent but astounding perseverance, strong beliefs, and a genuine desire to protect their civilization.


    Dongfang Ji was quite clear.


    If there were problems with character, focusing too much on cultivating such individuals might end up bringing greater disaster instead.


    To Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan represented someone with both excellent talent and character.


    Even better than Fang Hai had been in his early years.


    ¡°You show extraordinary talent in the Mysteries of Earth, and you have the support of a Supreme Star Technique, but you are somewhat lacking in the Mysteries of Wind,¡± said Dongfang Ji, ¡°Take a look at this item.¡±


    With that, Dongfang Ji flipped his palm.


    In the palm of his hand appeared a token the size of a palm, the token looking blue all over, with what seemed like countless fine patterns etched upon it.


    Hu!


    This strange token flew towards Li Yuan, who immediately reached out to catch it, his thoughts moving to resonate with it as soon as he did.


    Upon this resonance,


    ¡°This token?¡± A trace of surprise flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he became instantly captivated.


    The countless mysterious patterns on the token could actually convey layers upon layers of the wind¡¯s mysteries.


    Crucially, when Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness fully converged upon the token,


    ¡°Boom!¡± All of a sudden, Li Yuan felt his consciousness plunging downward without end.


    It was as if this token contained a miniature world within it, capable of accommodating his consciousness.


    Once consciousness merged, the countless patterns on the token he had observed before clearly became towering walls, with fluctuations of the Wind Law coming from them¡­ mysterious, magical!


    To sense these mysterious fluctuations was too clear.


    These numerous wind fluctuations, although seemingly chaotic at first glance, actually had great regularity and were all part of a whole¡­ Wind is inherently shapeless.


    For a moment, this even caused Li Yuan to become somewhat infatuated, and he unconsciously began to comprehend and cultivate.


    After a while, Li Yuan came back to his senses.


    Concentrating his consciousness, he quickly pulled away from the pull of the token.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch?¡± Holding the token, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What kind of treasure is this token?¡±


    ¡°How do you feel about it?¡± Dongfang Ji asked.


    ¡°A treasure.¡± Li Yuan replied without hesitation, ¡°Definitely a treasure that aids in the comprehension of the wind¡¯s mysteries.¡±


    Subconsciously, Li Yuan even compared this token to the ¡®Map of Myriad Stars¡¯ he possessed.


    Each had its own strengths.


    The Map of Myriad Stars, containing everything, carried the many mysteries of True Intent related to the Earth Vein, which seemed largely unrelated to each other¡­ Li Yuan believed that once he reached the threshold of the Law of Earth, the Map of Myriad Stars would still be of great use.


    And this blue token? It seemed to be of a lower tier, but the countless wind fluctuations were one whole.


    The former was vast and complex, while the latter was small and refined.


    ¡°It is called the ¡®Thousand Illusion Matrix Map¡¯,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said. ¡°I¡¯ve observed your battles. You tend to focus on the ¡®Phantom Body¡¯ approach in the Wind Vein¡­ It should suit you well.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    Suitable for him? Was the Alliance Hierarch intending to give a gift?


    ¡°I have many treasures.¡±


    ¡°But rarely do I give them directly to the younger generation.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Whether it¡¯s for you, for Fang Hai, these disciples, or for my own offspring, it¡¯s the same¡­ This Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, if you¡¯re willing to take it, I can lend it to you for one hundred years of comprehension, but you will need to pay 10,000 points.¡±


    ¡°Are you willing?¡± Dongfang Ji asked, a smile on his face.


    ¡°Willing!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    10,000 points? 100 years? It sounded like a lot, but on average, it was only 100 Seven Stars Points per year.


    How many did Li Yuan have now? 81,000 Seven Stars Points!!


    As for financial wealth, before leaving Rob Sea, he had sold many various items, and his bank balance had long since exceeded a hundred billion Blue Star Coins.


    Whether it was Seven Stars Points or Blue Star Coins, for Li Yuan, if it could directly enhance his strength, that was best.


    After all, for Li Yuan at this stage, ordinary weapons and treasures were of very limited use¡­ Powerful weapons and treasures, such as Semi Divine Artifacts, even if he could get them, he couldn¡¯t use them.


    As for those Star Technique Secret Manuals? The one thing Li Yuan didn¡¯t lack was Star Techniques; he had more than he could cultivate even from his two teachers.


    Thus, this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map was highly suitable.


    ¡°Okay, take the item. You can return it to me after a hundred years.¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°I will deduct the 10,000 points directly.¡±


    Deduct directly? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Clearly, the one behind the Seven Stars Treasury with the right to issue and the ultimate authority over ¡®Seven Stars Points¡¯ was none other than Dongfang Ji.


    It was his presence that gave meaning to the Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°By the way.¡±


    ¡°If during your time as Prime Warrior, or in the Flying Heaven Realm, you can fully comprehend this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, then come find me.¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°You will have gains beyond your expectations.¡±


    ¡°Remember, the sooner you comprehend it, the greater the reward.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, sensing that the chance of fully comprehending it during the Prime Warrior stage wasn¡¯t high.


    After all, he had just tried it; those countless wind fluctuations¡­ they probably already far exceeded the threshold of the laws.


    ¡°Your strength has likely not yet reached the limit of Prime Warrior.¡± Dongfang Ji remarked, ¡°If you continue to cultivate¡­ There is hope to complete the great deed you spoke of. If you can clear the many Second Level Star Realms¡­ and contribute to the entire civilization, appropriate rewards will naturally be given to you.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry about having too many Seven Stars Points and not being able to exchange them at the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    ¡°Once you become Flying Heaven Level, Demigod, or even possess a Divine Artifact! For instance, a Divine Artifact Long Spear, if you want it, I can get it for you.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°The condition is that you have enough Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. A Divine Artifact?


    Indeed, he was the Alliance Hierarch, unchallenged as a Demigod!


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Apart from this, the final matter for which I called you here today is about Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s voice became a bit serious, ¡°Perhaps, after some time, you will need to go to Mingxu Star Realm as the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ to participate in battle.¡±

 Chapter 485: 291: An Opportunity for Wind Vein (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

    Chapter 485: Chapter 291: An Opportunity for Wind Vein (Seeking Monthly Ticket)


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled, ¡°Has there been some great war?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve sent you the related intelligence reports,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Take a look at them first.¡±


    The next second.


    Buzz~


    Li Yuan¡¯s smart ring trembled, and he glanced down to see a file message from an unfamiliar account that contained text and images.


    Is this Senior Dongfang Ji¡¯s account? Li Yuan wondered.


    ¡°Add me as a friend and agree to receive the file,¡± Dongfang Ji seemed to see Li Yuan¡¯s hesitation. ¡°You can finish reading it here, and then I¡¯ll explain.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He quickly opened the light screen and began examining the details of the file, which contained very detailed intelligence about the Mingxu Star Realm and images of the great war¡­ Many of these details were definitely classified, and even other demi-gods might not be privy to them.


    But clearly, Dongfang Ji now considered Li Yuan absolutely central, and since the upcoming war would involve him, it was natural to inform him about the secrets.


    ¡°Ming Mountain actually contains such secrets? I was previously wondering why Ming Mountain was so majestic; it simply didn¡¯t look like a normal mountain.¡± Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Big Brother Yu is really impressive.¡±


    Li Yuan quickly finished reading.


    ¡°When the Mingxu Star Realm first appeared, I had my suspicions,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke slowly. ¡°I think the Tianliang Civilization and even the Myriad Demons Civilization behind them must have guessed as well since it is, after all, a divine-level civilization. But at that time, it was only a First Level Star Realm¡­ Even if we wanted to take control of it, it was beyond our reach.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help nodding; judging from the information, the strength of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior was far from enough to explore the secrets within Ming Mountain.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Big Brother Yu alone slaughtered six of the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s so-called ¡®Eighteen Saint Heirs,''¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying. ¡°I probably don¡¯t need to rush over there.¡±


    The video information in the file was simple: it showed the scenes of Yu Jinghe leading Wu Manong and others battling against many top geniuses and Flying Heaven Warriors of the Tianliang Civilization.


    The battlefield had extended for hundreds of kilometers!


    In the end, Yu Jinghe unleashed his divine might and brutally slaughtered the Saint Heirs of the Tianliang Civilization.


    The ¡®Second Rank Saint Heirs¡¯ of the Tianliang Civilization, who are at the level of True Intent Prime Warriors, are already comparable to the top geniuses of the Seven Star Mountain.


    Yet these nine Saint Heirs from the Tianliang Civilization teamed up and were utterly defeated by Yu Jinghe alone.


    Li Yuan reckoned that Yu Jinghe¡¯s strength was already no less than Lude Nef¡¯s, and perhaps even stronger.


    ¡°The Tianliang Clan really can¡¯t trouble Yu Jinghe anymore,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded. ¡°But there are two difficulties.¡±


    ¡°First is the local Flying Heaven forces in Ming Mountain; there are many Flying Heaven mid-stage powerhouses, and we can¡¯t shake them in the short run. Even just Yu Jinghe isn¡¯t enough,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Among them, there might even be Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why Bai Shan Semi-Divine hasn¡¯t dared let them delve deep into the exploration, only looking for some entrance traces around the periphery.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help nodding.


    From the various pieces of information, the local forces of the Mingxu Star Realm were indeed alarmingly strong, with Flying Heaven Level beings in abundance, unlike other Second Rank Star Realms or Third Level Star Realms.


    If there were Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising.


    Whether it was the Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization, although they have both sent many top grade Origin Martial Artists of the Fifth Stage to breakthrough to the 30th level in the Mingxu Star Realm, planning to stay there permanently¡­ but with only one year¡¯s time, at most they could only break through to the 31st level¡­ in terms of strength, they were not as good as Yu Jinghe.


    Yu Jinghe¡¯s strength should be close to or on par with the 33rd level.


    Therefore, to this point, both sides are still exploring around the outskirts of Ming Mountain, not daring to go deeper.


    Once they stir up the local Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it would be a nightmare for any side¡¯s forces.


    ¡°If your strength advances further, with the Domain Illusory Body, you can entangle with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse for a while,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°This is the advantage of cultivating two Laws.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    A Second Rank Life contending with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse? Nearly impossible, even he wasn¡¯t confident about it.


    But to just cope, there was hope.


    ¡°Secondly, be careful of the genius Prime Warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Lu Lei, Rolbis?¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    These were two exceptional geniuses affiliated with the Myriad Demons Civilization mentioned in the recent intelligence report.


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization is the divine-level civilization that is second only to the Immortal Ruins Civilization out of those our civilization has directly encountered; it also has many Divine Kingdoms within it¡­ Looking across the entire Dimensional Domain, it is an extremely powerful civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°The ¡®Heaven Wind Divine Kingdom¡¯ established by the Heaven Wind Divine is the mother country of the Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    ¡°The two civilizations are closely linked.¡±


    ¡°If the Tianliang Civilization itself had hope, they might not request help from the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ but now they are hopeless, and they are likely to invite the Myriad Demons Civilization to come,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Among the younger generation of the Myriad Demons Civilization, there are many whose strength is comparable to Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe.¡±


    ¡°The strongest we know of from the intelligence we¡¯ve gathered are Lu Lei and Rolbis.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, if you join hands with Yu Jinghe, there is hope of winning,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan reflexively nodded. Perhaps, Alliance Hierarch Dongfang is an invincible demi-god, making many civilizations dare not invade further.


    But overall, the strength of the Seven Star Civilization is not comparable to the many divine-level civilizations. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Geniuses like Lude Nef take many years for the Seven Star Civilization to produce one.


    But in those divine-level civilizations, each period sees the birth of a large group.


    It¡¯s due to the overall cultivation environment, as well as the population base¡­ with more people, naturally, more geniuses are born.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, what about Lude Nef? Is he not going to the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°He has already broken through to the Flying Heaven Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°It¡¯s just that this news has been kept secret and hasn¡¯t been announced.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized, no wonder there had been no news of Lude Nef for over a year¡ªhe had actually made a breakthrough.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I would like to inquire about the situation of my teacher, ¡®Lie Feng Semi-Divine¡¯,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine purchased the ¡®Myriad Beasts Blood Source¡¯ from me¡­ Is that thing useful to my teacher?¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine also owed a great debt of gratitude to Li Yuan.


    If the other party wanted it, it was naturally hard for Li Yuan to refuse.


    ¡°Useless!¡±


    ¡°Longevity is an iron rule of the heavens and earth¡¯s law, nearly impossible to break,¡± Dongfang Ji slightly shook his head, ¡°For a demigod, a thousand years of life is the limit¡­ All external objects simply prevent the body from aging further, but when it¡¯s time to die, one must die, all the same.¡±


    ¡°Your teacher¡­¡± Dongfang Ji pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°He¡¯s no longer in the Seven Star Civilization, he has left.¡±


    Left? So soon? Li Yuan was startled.


    By his reckoning, it hadn¡¯t been long since he and his teacher had parted ways.


    ¡°Your teacher is a demi-god peak powerhouse, nearing the end of his lifespan, it¡¯s natural for him to take a gamble,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°There are matters that are of no benefit for you to know now. When someday you possess strength at the Flying Heaven Level comparable to that of a demigod, then you will be qualified to know the core secrets of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, subconsciously thinking of the ¡®Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯ that Master Lie Feng had mentioned.


    Could it be, had his teacher gone there again?


    ¡°Don¡¯t overthink it.¡±


    ¡°What you need to do now is to continue strengthening your power.¡±


    ¡°You continue your concealed cultivation in the Martial Divine Star Realm for now, and if you¡¯re required to travel to the Mingxu Star Realm, I will send word to you,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°If there¡¯s anything in your cultivation that the Seven Stars Points cannot solve¡­ send word to Duanmu Hong.¡±


    ¡°If it still can¡¯t be resolved, then come find me,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Thank you, Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    Li Yuan understood, he had gained another special privilege¡ªdirect access to Dongfang Ji.


    Across the Seven Star Civilization, most likely, the majority of Flying Heaven Warriors didn¡¯t have this kind of permission.


    Before long,


    Li Yuan returned to the Martial Divine Star Realm through the same passage he had come by.


    ¡°Master, that ¡®Thousand Illusion Token¡¯ is one of the three great tokens of the Wind Vein,¡± a deep voice sounded in the void space, ¡°In the past, when Snow Dragon Semi-Divine was at the Flying Heaven Level, you didn¡¯t even bestow it upon him.¡±


    ¡°Even with the aid of Divine Spirit Liquid and Lie Feng¡¯s guidance, to be able to condense the embryo of True Intent from the Wind¡¯s Mystery in such a short time,¡± Dongfang Ji said calmly, ¡°is enough to prove his talent in the Wind Vein.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s try!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s only one token for the Earth Vein, which has been given to the predecessor Bai Shan¡­ Li Yuan, only by making great achievements in the Wind Vein, does he have a chance.¡±


    ¡­


    Upon returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm, Duanmu Mountain Master did not probe further but allowed Li Yuan to depart, and Li Yuan returned to his own villa estate.


    The underground martial arts room.


    ¡°Drip~¡±


    As soon as Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, he felt his smart ring vibrate; he glanced at the caller and immediately answered.


    A holographic projection formed.


    ¡°Dean,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    The caller was none other than Fang Hai, clad in black, sitting within the quiet chamber of a flying vessel.


    ¡°Duanmu Mountain Master mentioned you¡¯ve just met with the Alliance Hierarch?¡± Fang Hai got straight to the point.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Makes sense. You¡¯ve become the number one Prime Warrior of our civilization; it¡¯s normal for the Alliance Hierarch to summon you,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was not surprised that Dean Hai knew this, and the dean was Dean Hai¡¯s immediate superior¡­


    ¡°Did the Alliance Hierarch give you a token? One that can be exchanged for a hundred years of usage rights with ten thousand points?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s mouth suddenly showed a hint of a mysterious smile.


    Li Yuan was startled and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Dean, how do you know?¡±


    Fang Hai laughed.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about how I know,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression turned serious, ¡°I am just reminding you that this is a rare opportunity for you. In the eyes of the Alliance Hierarch¡­ you are already a vital member of the core circle of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Li Yuan was shaken.


    If someone else had said this, perhaps they would have been buttering him up, but coming from Fang Hai, the meaning was entirely different.


    Fang Hai had no need to deceive him.


    ¡°Whatever the Alliance Hierarch has tasked you with, do your best,¡± Fang Hai said in a low voice, ¡°I can¡¯t say more, but all I can tell you is¡­ the things that the Alliance Hierarch has kept hidden are ten times, a hundred times more powerful than you can possibly imagine!¡±


    ¡°Since the Alliance Hierarch values you and has expectations for you, then go all out in your efforts, you won¡¯t be wrong,¡± he added.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    The Alliance Hierarch, that powerful?


    Soon after, Fang Hai ended the communication, but Li Yuan¡¯s heart remained unsettled for a long time.


    ¡°Thousand Illusion Formation?¡± Li Yuan flipped his palm to look at the token, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch said, to come find him once I¡¯ve comprehended all the Mystery contained in the token?¡±


    ¡°Strive on!¡±


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll meditate on it for a while, then I¡¯ll go to receive this year¡¯s Martial God Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan concentrated with a calm spirit, integrating his consciousness into the token.

 Chapter 486: 292: Martial God Inheritance! Seventh Layer Star Vein (Additional Chapter 17, 18)

    Chapter 486: Chapter 292: Martial God Inheritance! Seventh Layer Star Vein (Additional Chapter 17, 18)


    Consciousness descends.


    ¡°This Thousand Illusion Array is really profound,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness descended into the token, sensing it carefully.


    This time, the sensing and comprehension.


    was even more meticulous than not long ago in front of Dongfang Ji, deepening Li Yuan¡¯s understanding.


    ¡°Waves of wind fluctuations, seemingly invisible and scattered, are in fact from the same origin,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness roamed through the array like a labyrinth.


    Endless fierce winds howled, buffeting Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness and fully revealing the Mysteries of Wind before him.


    ¡°There are many paths to follow within the Wind Law,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Those who are good at extreme speed, when cultivated to profound levels, can almost merge into space, finding those wind fluctuations that best fit themselves, becoming unmatched in speed¡­almost impossible for anyone to catch up.¡±


    ¡°Good at Stealth¡­¡±


    ¡°Good at Phantom Body, when cultivated to profound levels, can be reflected everywhere, almost omnipresent,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°The path I am comprehending is indeed the Phantom Body lineage.¡±


    Every Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything, containing infinite possibilities.


    Most powerhouses try to follow one direction, and upon comprehending profound levels, gradually attempt to understand other paths¡­ until one day, they completely penetrate an entire Law of the Great Dao.


    ¡°The cultivation of the Great Dao is extremely arduous.¡±


    ¡°Stepping into the threshold of the Law gives hope of becoming a Divine Being,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly, ¡°I haven¡¯t even truly condensed the True Meaning of Wind¡­ Penetrating the entire Law of the Great Dao? It¡¯s too far off.¡±


    He calmed his mind.


    With undivided attention, Li Yuan earnestly contemplated, while combining memories from the first Martial God Inheritance, cross-referencing each other.


    ¡­After two full days.


    ¡°Illusion!¡±


    ¡°This Thousand Illusion Array contains a whole one thousand streams of wind fluctuations,¡± Li Yuan had initially unraveled the token¡¯s mystery, ¡°These one thousand mysterious streams, interconnected and combined, are like a huge battle array formed by one thousand phantom bodies.¡±


    When he realized this, Li Yuan was extremely shocked.


    He immediately understood.


    If he could completely comprehend the Thousand Illusion Array, he could form a thousand phantom bodies in a thought.


    Just the thought of it left Li Yuan in awe.


    You should know that these phantom bodies are not mere virtual projections but real manifestations of the Wind Fluctuations, reflecting in all directions of the void, each containing a certain strength.


    Inundating the sky with attacks.


    Just the thought of it is frightening.


    ¡°According to Senior Dongfang Ji¡¯s meaning, reaching this level at my Flying Heaven Level is considered a success?¡± Li Yuan pondered to himself, ¡°Right, now I can only condense four phantom bodies, the gap is too big.¡±


    Li Yuan was not discouraged.


    Sky-scrapers rise from the ground, step by step.


    ¡°These Mysteries of Wind, they combine in such a way.¡±


    ¡°Oh! They can still be utilized like this¡­¡±


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Li Yuan immersed himself, doing his utmost to comprehend.


    Continuously deducing the Mysteries of Wind can also be exhausting.


    Therefore, Li Yuan would spend half his time comprehending the Mysteries of Earth as well.


    Additionally, he would practice his Spear Technique for two hours a day, striving to further integrate the Mysteries of the True Intent of Earth and Wind.


    The practice was very structured.


    As for Origin Power cultivation? Li Yuan¡¯s Physical Quality had long reached 29.9 rank, already being at its peak¡­ Without trying to condense an Origin Pill in the Sea of Source Energy, it was almost impossible to further improve his Physical Quality.


    Of course, Li Yuan would still practice the Visualization Method every day, and though the level of spiritual power improved slowly, it steadily approached level 37.


    Every two to three days, he would also continue to try awakening more Life Stars.


    ¡°The second Star Meridian, the number of awakened Life Stars has exceeded 76,000,¡± Li Yuan thought with great anticipation, ¡°The awakening of the Seventh Layer Star Vein is not far off.¡±


    A Star Meridian, when the number of awakened Life Stars reaches 77,760, is known as the Seventh Layer Star Vein.


    Then he could attempt to cultivate the Great Earth Divine Body.


    By then, Li Yuan¡¯s strength could surely surge dramatically.


    ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, July 18th arrived, and Li Yuan leapt down from the Martial Divine Mountain and came to the Martial Divine Hall that stood tall on the central great land.


    In fact, Li Yuan had applied for the ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ a few days earlier, but with limited quotas available each day and July being the peak month for members of the Martial Divine Hall to receive inheritances,


    he had no choice but to queue up and wait until today. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The majestic and simple palace.


    The hall opened, and Li Yuan saw at a glance the Divine Pillar in the palace, making his way to the end of the hall with ease.


    ¡°First Rank Martial God Inheritor Li Yuan,¡± a gentle voice resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Do not resist, follow the sensation, and display your Spear Technique to the fullest¡­¡±


    Whoosh!


    Invisible fluctuations swept past, and just like last year, Li Yuan, holding the Black Chen Spear, began to display his Spear Technique, with radiant Spear Light flickering.


    At the same time.


    As the power of the Spear Technique erupted, hum~ hum~ silently, strands of invisible Earth energy emerged, followed by phantoms appearing one after another.


    At first glance, it was as if within a powerful Domain, many Li Yuans were displaying their Spear Technique simultaneously in the hall.


    It was quite eerie.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Skilled in Spear Technique, combined with the True Meaning of Earth and Wind¡­ skilled in Domains, Phantom Body¡­ extremely high talent,¡± a cold voice resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°Expanding the search for the Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Inheritance locked.¡±


    ¡°Mark sensation target, an unknown Fifth Order Divine Being, skilled in Sword Technique, proficient in the Domain of Earth, Phantom Body of Wind, cultivating dual laws¡­¡±


    ¡°Inheritance begins.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a speck of light fell from the sky above the temple, flying directly onto Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was led, immediately becoming engrossed, and then completely captivated.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, Li Yuan returned to his villa mansion.

    Underground Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°It¡¯s truly magical.¡±


    ¡°Earth and Wind, two great Mysteries, can actually combine like this and form such a Domain Illusory Body. It¡¯s incredibly profound,¡± Li Yuan excitedly thought.


    Even though the inheritance had ended, he was still filled with shock. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The second Martial God Inheritance was so much more effective than the first¡­


    Although the Divine Being in the Consciousness Resonance did not use Spear Technique, for Li Yuan at this level, the weapon was not the main concern. What he primarily sensed was the profundity within.


    Apart from the mismatch in weapons, every other aspect was much better compared to the first time.


    ¡°During the first Martial God Inheritance, I had not yet condensed the True Meaning of Earth, and the Mystery of Wind was even less mastered. No matter how clear the resonance, understanding was very difficult,¡± Li Yuan secretly thought. ¡°But this time?¡±


    Consciousness Resonance, Divine Being Inheritance, cannot directly enhance the skill level of the Inheritor.


    One must have enough deep comprehension and enough doubts to achieve the greatest effect.


    Over the past year of cultivation, Li Yuan made great progress in both the Earth Vein and the Wind Vein.


    Great progress often means more doubts.


    Especially for the Wind Vein, since condensing the embryonic form of the True Intent, Li Yuan had been trying to truly condense the True Intent and step into the threshold of Sixth Stage¡­ but was unable to break through.


    ¡°My talent in the Wind Vein is not bad, but it¡¯s far from comparable to the Earth Vein,¡± Li Yuan was very clear on this: ¡°For the Earth Vein, it took just a few months to go from the initial Fifth Stage to condensing the True Intent, and that was without the aid of Divine Spirit Liquid, and my spiritual power wasn¡¯t that strong initially.¡±


    ¡°In normal circumstances, for someone like Bertman, it¡¯s already extremely fast to go from the embryonic form to condensing the True Intent in a little over a year,¡± Li Yuan secretly thought. ¡°Under normal circumstances, it would take me at least half a year to have a chance at condensing the True Intent.¡±


    In the cultivation of skills, there is something known as an epiphany.


    But the so-called epiphany requires day after day of accumulation. Only with sufficient accumulation can there be a breakthrough.


    ¡°And now.¡±


    ¡°With the Thousand Illusion Array Chart.¡±


    ¡°Combined with this Martial God Inheritance¡¯s guidance,¡± Li Yuan was immensely overjoyed, ¡°my comprehension of the fluctuations in the Mystery of Wind will increase much faster.¡±


    For the cultivation of his skills moving forward, Li Yuan became even clearer on what he had to do.


    ¡°Seclusion!¡±


    ¡°For the next period, unless the Mingxu Star Realm breaks out into a huge battle and the Mountain Lord summons me, I will see no one,¡± Li Yuan suddenly declared loudly.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the support AI respectfully responded.


    Li Yuan began a new round of secluded cultivation, trying to condense the True Meaning of Wind in one effort.


    At the very least, he had to maximize his cultivation efficiency while the effects of the Martial God Inheritance were still fresh.


    ¡­


    Martial Divine Star Realm.


    In the only tavern.


    A large group of geniuses from the Martial Divine Hall were gathered here.


    ¡°Damn! Li Yuan is unreachable again?¡± Dantai Feng looked at the reminder on his AI bracelet: ¡°This year¡¯s newcomers from Blue Star can¡¯t even spare a single day?¡±


    Many geniuses from the Martial Divine Hall had accepted Dantai Feng¡¯s invitation today¡ªTian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky, Yin He, and others had come¡­ Perhaps when they first entered the Martial Divine Star Realm, they were somewhat strangers to each other.


    But as time passed,


    the many geniuses also began to band together. All coming from Blue Star and sharing the bond of ¡®fellow year¡¯, their relationships generally grew better and better.


    ¡°This guy doesn¡¯t come, and neither do Lin Lanyue and Alicia,¡± Dantai Feng felt a headache coming on: ¡°Sigh, each one is a cultivation maniac.¡±


    ¡°As if you don¡¯t work hard in cultivation,¡± Tian Dazhuang glanced at him: ¡°In the past few months when I tried contacting you, wasn¡¯t it impossible to reach you too?¡±


    ¡°Dazhuang, don¡¯t always bring me down,¡± Dantai Feng glared.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Yan Jing Senior Brother has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Yan Jing.¡± The group of geniuses in the room all stood up, welcoming the newly arrived Yan Jing.


    Perhaps many of them had talents no less than Yan Jing¡¯s. For instance, Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang were outstanding choices. Although they were young, their skills were already approaching Fifth Stage High Rank.


    But!


    Untapped talent is just talent¡­ while Yan Jing was truly powerful.


    A top genius from Seven Star Mountain, a True Intent Prime Warrior, was enough to command respect from anyone.


    ¡°Please, have a seat,¡± Yan Jing said with a smile, knowing Dantai Feng¡¯s strength and background.


    He naturally came because he was invited.


    In Yan Jing¡¯s plan for cultivation, he intended to return to Xia Country for an official position in the future, so it was natural to build a good relationship with this group of ¡®Hall friends.¡¯


    As time passed, the banquet gradually came to an end.


    ¡°Big Brother Yan,¡± someone casually said: ¡°I heard about the big battle in the Rob Sea a while ago, the one where the Spirit Gun broke into the matriarchal nest. Were you part of the battle?¡±


    Yan Jing, who had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly tensed up inside but maintained a calm exterior and smiled: ¡°Trick, you just joined the Martial Divine Hall this year, right? Where did you hear about it?¡±


    This banquet was initially meant to welcome the nine young geniuses from Blue Star who had arrived this year.


    ¡°I heard about it,¡± the blonde-haired Trick said with a smile.


    ¡°I indeed participated,¡± Yan Jing chuckled.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Trick¡¯s eyes brightened, seemingly curious: ¡°Big Brother Yan, then do you know who Spirit Gun is? Who is he?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°Big Brother Yan, you also participated in the Rob Sea battle?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, who exactly is Spirit Gun?¡± The group, who had been casually chatting, started to look curiously at Yan Jing.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡±


    ¡°The battlefield I was responsible for was completely different, I never saw Spirit Gun the whole time,¡± Yan Jing shook his head: ¡°But I heard from other Flying Heaven Warriors that Spirit Gun seemed to be quite old, always striving to awaken more Star Meridians, which is why he hasn¡¯t broken through.¡±


    One part truth, nine parts fiction.


    This was the response Yan Jing had planned ever since he received the order to keep things secret.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Yan Jing deliberately lingered behind.

    ¡°`


    He watched Trick leave.


    ¡°Did that guy just casually ask, or was he deliberately testing me?¡± Yan Jing frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.


    Orders had been given long ago.


    Their operations in Rob Sea were confidential and generally unknown to the public.


    Even someone with a massive background like Dantai Feng was unaware.


    Trick, a newcomer who had just joined the Martial Divine Star Realm, how did he know?


    ¡°Report it.¡±


    ¡°If he learned of it inadvertently, it won¡¯t affect him,¡± Yan Jing¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, ¡°But if he¡¯s a spy?¡±


    Yan Jing was very concerned about Li Yuan¡¯s safety.


    Firstly, in the battle at Rob Sea Star Realm, Li Yuan had turned back to face the enemy alone, which deeply moved Yan Jing. In a sense, it was like saving his life.


    Secondly, from the moment he fully recognized Li Yuan¡¯s talents and strength, he was clear on one thing: if he wanted to establish a foothold in the higher echelons of Starfire Martial Hall or Xia Country, then Li Yuan could very well become his biggest support.


    Unlike other Demigods? Not so closely related.


    ¡­


    Not long after.


    ¡°Re-investigate Trick.¡± An order came from the higher-ups of Starfire Martial Hall, ¡°Check his entire network of relationships, family member information, and review all traces of him in the virtual network over the past ten years.¡±


    ¡°All day long, within the Martial Divine Star Realm, monitor him secretly for 24 hours.¡±


    Such scrutiny required mobilizing a large amount of resources and collaborative efforts from many departments.


    Normally, Starfire Martial Hall members would undergo various checks before they entered the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    But it was very rare to monitor them 24/7 after they had entered.


    After all, if such actions were to leak, it would cause great dissatisfaction and resentment among all the genius members of the Martial Hall.


    People have secrets.


    People have a need for privacy.


    Nobody wants to be monitored 24 hours a day.


    That¡¯s how criminals are treated.


    But when it involves ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ and even more so the foremost genius in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, everyone from top to bottom dares not be careless.


    Just three days later.


    ¡°Trick is not the problem.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s his university professor, a top-grade Prime Warrior who is the spy! Secretly dealing with Tianliang Civilization¡­ Proceed with immediate arrest.¡±


    ¡°He used Trick¡¯s identity as a member of Martial Hall to attempt uncovering the true identity and whereabouts of ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.¡± With expansive resources deployed and comprehensive surveillance, they finally found a trace.


    And this!


    Was just the tip of the iceberg regarding the Alien Race¡¯s efforts to probe the true identity and whereabouts of ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, and only a minority were caught.


    Many more probing actions were hidden, never revealed.


    ¡­


    At Seven Star Mountain.


    Days passed by.


    Unaware of the turmoil outside, Li Yuan was engrossed in his concealed cultivation, wholeheartedly contemplating the Mysteries of Wind and Earth.


    Whether it was the Wind Vein or the Earth Vein, Li Yuan was steadily improving, and he was getting closer to breaking through his bottleneck.


    The Visualization Method, the awakening of the Life Star¡­ all were progressing in an orderly fashion.


    This is the magic of time.


    Li Yuan had no more sudden insights.


    But with time grinding on, his overall strength was steadily increasing, slowly but very stable.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already August 2nd.


    On this day.


    After two hours of practicing Spear Technique, Li Yuan once again began to awaken his Life Star.


    Inside Li Yuan. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    That vast and somewhat gloomy star space of destiny.


    ¡°Tzz~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power split into threads of thought, following the invisible fluctuations along the star meridians, sensing each star, and constantly trying to awaken them.


    It was exceedingly slow, and occasionally he would fail!


    The unawakened Life Stars were after all in the minority, with most being dormant Dead Stars. Each failure took a toll on his body and spirit, so Li Yuan was very cautious.


    Suddenly¡ª¡ª


    Another Life Star awakened, and the moment it did, it made a subtle connection with another Life Star not far away.


    Hum~ Hum~ The Life Stars connected to each other, and in an instant, this invisible fluctuation had traversed across most of the star space of destiny.


    Causing that particularly brilliant star meridian to suddenly tremble, followed by a transformation of the meridian, making it even more dazzling.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan was at first stunned, then a surge of joy welled up: ¡°Seventh Layer Star Vein!!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve achieved it.¡± A sense of accomplishment arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    The first star meridian was the Perfect Star Vein, which was activated with the first Spiritual Guidance of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with Li Yuan playing a minimal part, being mostly passive.


    But the following four star meridians were awakened by Li Yuan himself.


    Reaching the ¡®Seventh Layer Star Vein¡¯ level with the second star meridian was an especially joyous occasion.


    The Fifth Layer Star Veins and Seventh Layer Star Veins are both crucial.


    When he initially awakened the Fifth Layer Star Veins, practicing the Star Technique greatly increased Li Yuan¡¯s strength, allowing him to easily handle the so-called demigod-level genius when the Immortals Ruins Civilization descended in the World within Worlds.


    ¡°With the Seventh Layer Star Vein, I can begin cultivating ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.¡± Li Yuan looked forward expectantly.


    ¡°Stellar Mysterious Body¡± was just a Fifth Layer Star Technique, and it allowed Li Yuan to dominate among Prime Warriors and contend with ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± is a Seven Stars Technique.


    ¡°The ¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body¡¯, the most famous star technique cultivated by the invincible Dongfang Ji among the Demigods,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body¡¯ is equivalent to ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.¡±


    From this, one can imagine the power of this star technique ¨C even among demigods, it¡¯s extremely powerful.


    For Origin Martial Artists and Flying Heaven Warriors, it is certainly a diminisher, one of the absolute top-tier techniques.

    Chapter 489: Chapter 292: Martial God Inheritance! Seventh Layer Star Vein (Additional Chapter 17, 18)_4


    ¡°The battle at Mingxu Star Realm is imminent,¡± Li Yuan had perused the information on the Mingxu Star Realm and was well aware of what it entailed.


    Even if the top talents from the Myriad Demons Civilization did not come, he would have to go sooner or later.


    If it was merely a breakthrough in skill, even if he could achieve the True Meaning of Wind and True Meaning of Earth to the Intermediate Rank of Sixth Stage, Li Yuan didn¡¯t have much confidence to spar with the native Flying Heaven Peak experts of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    The basic difference was too great.


    ¡°By cultivating the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, once deployed, it will boost my foundational strength tremendously, enough to truly match a Level 30 or even 31 warrior in the Flying Heaven Realm under the state of Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan contemplated. ¡°Only then, do I have a chance at contending with Flying Heaven Peak warriors.¡± S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Skill is important.


    But foundational strength is also important.


    ¡­


    He temporarily set aside other facets of cultivation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start!¡±


    With a wave of his hand, a series of items radiating strange fluctuations levitated around him, including the Five Elements Divine Crystals and many Third Rank treasures as well as Fourth Rank ones.


    All manner of treasures were present.


    ¡°Initially, when I assisted the Boundary Spirit, it prepared the Five Elements Divine Crystals for me to cultivate the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, which are the primary treasures,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°I also spent 8,600 Points at the Seven Stars Treasure Vault to purchase the rest¡­ no need to buy and collect them again.¡±


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate.


    Especially Body Refining Star Techniques, which aim for an all-around evolution of the body, have always been among the hardest to practice, with the most stringent requirements.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    Upon a thought, the might of True Intent combined with spiritual power swiftly began absorbing the essence of the rare and precious treasures surrounding him per the cultivation methods of the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.


    For those with less skillful techniques, cultivating such a powerful Star Technique at the Prime Warrior stage might require assistance from a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    But Li Yuan needed no such help. His realm was lofty enough.


    Before long.


    Whoosh~ Surrounded by a massive array of treasures, streams of essence gradually began to merge into Li Yuan¡¯s body, inducing myriad miraculous changes.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~


    The Seventh Layer Star Vein within Li Yuan suddenly shone brilliantly, its presence felt more clearly than ever, and due to the absorption of various odd energies, countless Life Stars were invigorated.


    ¡°No time to waste!¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his heart and began inscribing the First Rank Star Marks of the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ upon the Star Vein.


    He rebranded the Star Marks on each Life Star with relative ease.


    It would be more accurate to say he was ¡®adding¡¯ rather than rebranding.


    Normally, to practice a new Star Technique, one must erase all the Star Marks on a Star Meridian and return to the origin¡­ a process excruciatingly painful.


    However, Star Techniques like the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯, ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, and ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, which are part of the same lineage, only become more complex based on the original marks, enhancing their power.


    Hence, in a way, cultivating the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ first was lessening the difficulty of cultivating the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    As time passed, with each Life Star¡¯s Star Marks undergoing changes.


    Tiny but profound transformations happened in Li Yuan¡¯s body, a fundamental enhancement of life¡­ continually absorbing the essence of many extraordinary treasures.


    ¡°Normally, once one reaches 29.9 in Physical Quality, there can be no further improvement. But through the cultivation of Star Technique, it can leapfrog, drawing ever closer to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The difference between 29.9 and 30 was like heaven and earth, vastly different at the base physical level.


    ¡­


    Even with the foundation of the ¡®Stellar Mysterious Body¡¯ and a wealth of treasured items at the ready.


    And though both skill and spiritual power were sufficiently high.


    Li Yuan still took a full nine days to finally cultivate the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, Second Order Limit, is a 14th Rank Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, feeling the surging power within his body.


    Boom! Boom!


    Without using a Star Technique, a random punch carried millions of pounds of force, making the air explode violently.


    Once a Star Technique was deployed, revealing the full might of the Divine Body¡­ that¡¯s when it becomes a true weapon that can prevail across different ranks.


    ¡°My Physical Quality has improved even further.¡±


    ¡°I wonder if I can now cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯,¡± Li Yuan suddenly pondered.

 Chapter 490: 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 490: Chapter 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Although he had gained many inheritances and cultivated a multitude of Star Techniques, deep in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, what he always regarded as the most important was the Ninefold Star Technique ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡±.


    This was a Supreme Star Technique.


    It enhanced one¡¯s affinity with the Law of Earth, greatly increasing the efficiency of comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.


    Skill is the foundation.


    In a short period of time, Li Yuan had advanced his understanding of the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth to near the Intermediate Rank¡­ The contribution of this Supreme Star Technique was indispensable.


    And yet, Li Yuan had only cultivated it to the First Order Limit.


    In fact, over the past year, Li Yuan would use the Earth Origin Crystal every now and then in an attempt to imprint the Second Order Star Mark on his Perfect Star Vein¡­ but failed time and time again.


    ¡°My attainment in the Earth Vein is high enough, and my understanding of the Second Order Star Marks is sufficiently profound. With just a thought, I can condense the Star Marks in the void,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°When it comes to auxiliary cultivation materials, the Earth Origin Crystal is certainly enough.¡±


    ¡°Spiritual power? Among Flying Heaven Warriors, mine is extremely strong.¡±


    Therefore, there was only one possibility¡ªthe body was not strong enough!


    The body is the foundation of all cultivation. The stronger the body, the stronger its ability to nurture the soul and the origin of the Life Star.


    ¡°When I cultivated the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the First Stage, I was already a Prime Warrior, naturally able to easily bear the First Order Star Mark,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°I¡¯ve now cultivated to level 29.9¡­ but to perfectly support the Second Order Star Mark of a Supreme Star Technique, the requirements for the Life Star¡¯s origin probably are extremely high.¡±


    The more powerful the Star Technique, the more stringent the requirements for cultivation.


    ¡­


    He took out a small piece of Earth Origin Crystal.


    Surrounding himself with it, Li Yuan initiated a thought to start absorbing the essence contained within the Divine Crystal.


    Hum~ A massive influx of strange energy.


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s deliberate guidance, it gradually poured into that Perfect Star Vein.


    Instantly, each Life Star¡¯s brilliance surged, making Li Yuan¡¯s sensation of the Life Stars far clearer than ever before by countless times.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    ¡°Branding the Star Mark.¡± Most of Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was entirely focused on the Perfect Star Vein.


    Rumble~


    The first Life Star trembled violently as strands of Origin Power merged into it, attempting to construct the Second Order Star Mark.


    A new Star Mark bearing invisible might was born, immediately increasing the pressure on the entire Life Star, causing even Li Yuan to feel a slight discomfort in his body¡­


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique, my body is still slightly weak,¡± Li Yuan immediately deduced. ¡°This makes the Life Star¡¯s origin not strong enough, but it can barely withstand it.¡±


    Just like a planet with limited resources can normally only support a billion people¡­ if it were inhabited by a hundred billion, there would be various problems due to resource scarcity, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire planet.


    It¡¯s the same with cultivating Star Techniques.


    If the body is not strong enough, if the origin of the Life Star is not strong enough, then it cannot bear too powerful Star Marks¡­


    ¡°If I became a Flying Heaven Warrior and experienced a leap in Life Level, cultivating with a Third Rank body would probably be quite easy,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°But if you want to cultivate it as a Prime Warrior, you need a very strong Body Refining Star Technique as a foundation.¡±


    Body Refining Star Technique comprehensively promotes the leap in Life Level.


    ¡°Still need to use a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals to aid my cultivation,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s body strength was already close to the Prime Warrior¡¯s limit, just barely able to endure.


    However, even with a large amount of Earth Origin Crystals, the speed of imprinting the Second Order Star Marks was very slow.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Hum~¡± The Second Order Star Mark of the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± was finally successfully imprinted with the first one.


    ¡°To have one means there could be a second,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°But just to successfully imprint one, so much essence of Earth Origin Crystal was consumed¡­ to fully cultivate it successfully?¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan made a quick calculation and swiftly came to a conclusion.


    To use Earth Origin Crystals for the entire cultivation process, at least Divine Crystals worth over a hundred thousand points would have to be exchanged from the Seven Star Treasury.


    Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be enough to cultivate this Star Technique to the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°How many points do I have? How could I spend them all on this?¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly and waved, putting away the Earth Origin Crystal that was suspended around him.


    After cultivating the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± to the Second Order Limit, the number of Five Elements Divine Crystals in Li Yuan¡¯s hands was also running low.


    ¡°It seems.¡±


    ¡°I need to return to World within Worlds and use that stone chamber for cultivation. Only then will there be hope of cultivating the Star Technique to the Second Order Limit,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    After a short contemplation, he sent a message to Duanmu Mountain Master, stating his request. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This news, once passed back, will probably surprise the upper echelons. I estimate they¡¯ll also guess that I have secrets in the World within Worlds,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    But Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned about it.


    The present was different from the past. When he had first received the Ancient Torch Divine inheritance, his vision and strength were nowhere near what they are now. Out of caution and not daring to expose himself¡­ he had no clear understanding of the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But now, looking back, individuals like Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji possessed very impressive resources, and there seem to be no shortage of Divine Being Inheritances.


    Besides.


    Although Li Yuan had shown promise back then, he hadn¡¯t joined the Martial Divine Hall nor truly caught Dongfang Ji¡¯s attention.


    Facing the potential coveting of a Demigod, one naturally has reservations.


    Now? With an increase in strength and status, as long as Demigods do not act directly, Li Yuan fears no one.


    ¡­


    Within the palace at the very top of Seven Star Mountain.


    Duanmu Hong awakened from his meditation, looking at the request posed by Li Yuan, he was somewhat astonished: ¡°Isn¡¯t the World within Worlds of the Fierce Feather Star Realm only accessible to First Order beings?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has an additional right to enter?¡±


    Duanmu Hong didn¡¯t dare to be careless. After some thought, he made another transmission.


    Soon, communication was established.


    ¡°Mountain Lord, what¡¯s the matter?¡± a deep and cold voice sounded.

 Chapter 491: 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

    Chapter 491: Chapter 293: Return to World within Worlds (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine,¡± Duanmu Hong said, ¡°it is Li Yuan. He has just applied to me to go to the Fierce Feather Star Realm¡¯s World within Worlds and use that stone room deep within the vein.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± San Ye Semi Divine was also slightly startled, ¡°Isn¡¯t the World within Worlds only accessible to First Rank lifeforms?¡±


    Duanmu Hong fell silent.


    After a while.


    ¡°Tell him, he can,¡± San Ye Semi Divine slowly replied, ¡°I will arrange for the stationed Martial Artists to leave that area¡­ Let him use it, all free of charge. Once his cultivation is complete¡­ he can simply leave, and try not to expose his movements.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± the Duanmu Mountain Master nodded, but couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°What about the personnel arrangements that were set before?¡±


    Since winning the World within Worlds war, the Seven Star Civilization had been arranging for First Rank warriors who needed it to enter, breakthrough to become Second Rank Prime Warriors inside, and then cultivate some secret techniques and Star Techniques with the help of the stone rooms.


    It had saved the civilization a great deal of Five Elements Divine Crystal.


    Naturally, there was a prioritized list, and the order from San Ye Semi Divine was equivalent to letting Li Yuan jump the queue.


    ¡°Postpone all of them.¡±


    ¡°If anyone is dissatisfied, tell them, this is the order of the Alliance Hierarch,¡± San Ye Semi Divine declared.


    Suddenly, San Ye Semi Divine¡¯s tone softened, ¡°Li Yuan is currently the most important cultivation genius of our civilization, and we must fully satisfy anything that can be satisfied¡­ Besides, the World within Worlds was conquered by him; he should have the freedom to come and go, which means he holds special privilege access. Deep within the World within Worlds, there likely still lies a secret.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± the Duanmu Mountain Master nodded.


    The implication from San Ye Semi Divine was simple, other resources for cultivation might be held up and it wouldn¡¯t matter much¡­ But the cultivation resources of the World within Worlds were connected to Li Yuan.


    If Li Yuan¡¯s needs were not met, eventually, no one else might be able to use the stone rooms.


    ¡­


    ¡°Is the application approved so quickly? And I can use it indefinitely starting one day later?¡± Li Yuan was quite surprised.


    He had thought there would be some complications.


    After all, Li Yuan knew that many First Rank geniuses within the Seven Star Civilization were preparing to queue up for its use¡­ He had been ready to wait in line for a while.


    ¡°Probably, my freedom to enter and exit the World within Worlds has intimidated the Demigods above,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    This kind of access was very special; any Demigod could guess that something was amiss.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Not wishing to delay, Li Yuan quietly left Seven Star Mountain, and aside from the Duanmu Mountain Master¡­ no one knew of his whereabouts.


    After leaving the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t choose to fly directly, instead, he took a flying machine and disguised himself as another person.


    This was arranged by the Duanmu Mountain Master.


    Although the alien civilizations were currently focusing their inquiry efforts on the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± they had never loosened their vigilance against ¡°Li Yuan,¡± the super genius.


    Staying in the Martial Divine Star Realm was harmless.


    Once out in the world, exposing his whereabouts could very well lead to an assassination attempt¡­ The Feixing was vast, far surpassing Blue Star, and no one knew if the Alien Civilization could mobilize Flying Heaven Peak experts.

    Inside one unremarkable estate.


    Whoosh! A young woman dressed in tight-fitting clothes, holding a long sword, was silently practicing swordsmanship in the Martial Arts Room.


    Swoo! Swoo! Swoo!


    The sword light danced; with every thread of light that emerged, it subtly invoked the Mystery of Fire from the surroundings¡­ creating wisps of flames out of the void.


    This scene, if witnessed by Flying Heaven Warriors, would shock and astonish them.


    It was normal for a sword to draw on the power of heaven and earth.


    But to make the power of heaven and earth materialize? To truly bring it into a material manifestation¡­ The requirements were extremely high, and even those with Fifth Stage Perfection found it difficult to achieve.


    ¡°True Phoenix Bloodline.¡±


    ¡°It allows me to have an extremely high affinity with the Fire System,¡± Lin Lanyue murmured to herself, ¡°In combat, with the same level of skill, I can exert stronger power when it comes to the Fire System.¡±


    After leaving the World within Worlds, she had come to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Lin Lanyue still dared not relax in her cultivation.


    The many experiences since her youth had also caused changes within her heart.


    Like the last gathering, when Lin Lanyue found out that Li Yuan was not going, she directly refused to attend.


    ¡°Master, San Ye Semi Divine wishes to establish communication,¡± the voice of the auxiliary AI suddenly rang out in the Martial Arts Room.


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine?¡± Lin Lanyue was mildly shocked.


    When she was deeply immersed in cultivation, ordinary communications would not have been able to disturb her.


    ¡°Answer it,¡± Lin Lanyue said directly, immediately sheathing her long sword.


    The voice communication was established.


    ¡°Lanyue, I hope I¡¯m not disturbing your cultivation,¡± a clear, gentle voice emerged from the empty light screen projection.


    ¡°Is there something you need, Semi Divine?¡± Lin Lanyue asked.


    ¡°There is a matter I would like to inquire about with you,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said, ¡°It concerns Li Yuan¡­¡±


    Swiftly, San Ye Semi Divine recounted the detailed situation to Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°You are a registered disciple of a Fire System Divine, and we understand you have the freedom to enter and exit the World within Worlds,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said, ¡°But Li Yuan, according to what he originally claimed, he only received a Demigod inheritance¡­ How does he have this privilege?¡±


    Lin Lanyue was speechless, her mind racing.


    Just one second.


    ¡°Semi Divine, I am not a Direct Disciple, and only the Boundary Spirit knows the many secrets of the World within Worlds,¡± Lin Lanyue explained, ¡°In fact, if not for Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the Earth Vein, with his peerless talent, he might have already become the Teacher¡¯s Direct Disciple¡­ And he also discovered traces of the Divine of the Blazing Flame.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, this is a special privilege given to him by the Boundary Spirit,¡± Lin Lanyue continued, ¡°After all, he is also considered a part of the Fire System Divine lineage.¡±


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s response was watertight.


    Of course, she knew the real reason, but compared to the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ she trusted Li Yuan more.


    Since Li Yuan himself had not revealed it, Lin Lanyue naturally would not disclose it either.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I understand now, go back to your cultivation,¡± the voice of San Ye Semi Divine was gentle, ¡°With your talent, you are expected to achieve Semi Divine status in the future, and I look forward to the day you stand alongside me.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Semi Divine.¡±


    The communication was terminated by both parties.


    ¡°Li Yuan has gone to the World within Worlds again?¡± Lin Lanyue pondered silently, ¡°Is it really just to cultivate using the stone chamber?¡±


    ¡­


    Merely ten or so hours later,


    Li Yuan had already traversed nearly half of Feixing, and half of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, arriving outside the War Fortress established by the Blazing Flame Family.


    Other First Rank life forms entering the World within Worlds must pass through a ¡®gateway¡¯.


    But Li Yuan, who possessed the token, did not need to.


    Just as Gu You and the Boundary Spirit had said, with the token in hand, as long as he was near the World within Worlds, he could directly enter.


    ¡°Go ahead,¡± Li Yuan thought, activating the token.


    The next moment.


    Hum~ With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, he could faintly sense an invisible fluctuation forming in the void.


    ¡°Li Yuan, welcome back, don¡¯t resist,¡± the gentle voice of the Boundary Spirit rang out.


    Whoosh~


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, and in an instant, he disappeared from his original location, having been taken into the World within Worlds.


    ¡­


    Whoosh~


    Li Yuan felt a flickering around him, followed by countless streaming lights, blurring his surroundings.


    After a dozen seconds or so, he found himself in an ancient palace.


    It was the Hall of Inheritance for the Earth System Divine.


    ¡°Little brother, returning so soon, are you prepared to take on the challenge of the Hall of Inheritance?¡±

 Chapter 492: 294 The Second Test! Is this difficult?

    Chapter 492: Chapter 294 The Second Test! Is this difficult?


    ¡°Sister!¡± Li Yuan was startled and immediately saw the figure that seemed both real and surreal appearing in the void of the palace.


    Clad in white, with an exceptionally beautiful face, her long hair flowed down and her bare feet emitted a sense of sanctity that prevented any blasphemous thoughts.


    It was the controller of the Hall of Inheritance, ¡®Gu You¡¯.


    ¡°What, seeing me seems to have surprised you?¡± The girl in white smiled at Li Yuan, stepping down from the void and approaching him.


    ¡°Sis, I didn¡¯t expect the Boundary Spirit to transport me here,¡± Li Yuan said with a wry smile.


    Indeed, he had not expected it.


    Although Li Yuan had planned to attempt the second trial of the Hall of Inheritance this time, he had also prepared to cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Second Order Limit before attempting it.


    After all, even though ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ was an auxiliary cultivation technique for Star Techniques, as a Supreme Star Technique, it could significantly enhance Li Yuan¡¯s strength when he invoked the Mysteries of Earth.


    ¡°It was I who had Xiao Huo transport you here,¡± Gu You said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan: ¡°It sensed in a preliminary test that your vital energy is extremely strong, seeming to approach the Flying Heaven Level¡­ You must have cultivated the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯ to the pinnacle of the second order.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.


    Li Yuan was not surprised, he had long experienced the inquiry methods of the Boundary Spirit, and he saw no need to hide anything from Gu You.


    ¡°In just over a year, you have cultivated the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯, proving that your second Star Meridian has awakened to the Seventh Layers, and indeed, your Star Meridian talent is astonishing,¡± the girl sighed lightly, her eyes shining with a spiritual light.


    She felt that she had chosen the right person.


    ¡°How many Star Meridians have you awakened?¡± the girl asked again.


    ¡°Five, and I should be close to awakening the sixth,¡± Li Yuan added: ¡°I have not encountered any bottlenecks so far.¡±


    Indeed, he had not encountered any bottlenecks.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, among that group of top geniuses like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef, it was incredibly difficult to awaken six Star Meridians even after decades of cultivation¡­ Most Flying Heaven Warriors would generally awaken four Star Meridians during their Prime Warrior stage.


    In civilizations like the Seven Star Civilization, where there are thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, just awakening six Star Meridians and reaching the intermediate rank of Sixth Stage¡­ By slowly cultivating and refining Origin Pills, they were destined to reach level 36.


    This is the standard of a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    And Li Yuan? Although his spiritual power had not reached level 37 and he had not initiated the second Spiritual Guidance¡­ he had already caught up with most Flying Heaven Warriors in terms of Star Meridians through his own efforts.


    ¡°Then that¡¯s correct.¡±


    Gu You said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ve come to the secret realm this time, probably wanting to cultivate ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Second Order Limit.¡±


    ¡°Sister sees clearly,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Obviously, Gu You had a thorough understanding of the cultivation requirements for these powerful Star Techniques.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush in cultivating Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been growing at a surprising rate, and it just so happens you¡¯re here today,¡± Gu You smiled: ¡°So why not try the second trial first?¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan had no objections and indeed, he felt a bit of anticipation.


    According to what Gu You had said before,


    As long as he passed the second trial, he would be able to initially take control of the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°Brother, follow me.¡± Gu You suddenly waved her hand, and a wall nearby burst into a rumble.


    Boom¡­ A passageway suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was flabbergasted, considering he had spent so much time in the Hall of Inheritance without the slightest inkling.


    Whoosh!


    The girl¡¯s bare feet stepped across the void, proceeding down the newly formed passageway to the depths, and Li Yuan hurried to keep up.


    ¡­


    The corridor was dark but extremely spacious, with a world of its own inside. As one entered, it felt as though they had arrived in a different space altogether.


    ¡°Brother,¡±


    ¡°Our father left behind five trials,¡± the girl said while walking: ¡°The first trial you passed previously made you a Direct Disciple, granting you weapons, tokens, and treasures to assist in Enlightenment¡­ This is what you deserved.¡±


    ¡°The second trial is the test for Prime Warriors,¡± the girl continued: ¡°Passing it proves you are sufficiently excellent at this stage and will grant you a second reward.¡±


    ¡°It also allows you to initially recognize the Hall of Inheritance as your own, enabling you to take it out of this secret realm and Star Realm,¡± the girl glanced at Li Yuan, smiling: ¡°Otherwise, once you become a Flying Heaven Warrior, it would be difficult to take the Hall of Inheritance with you.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless for a moment, then felt it made sense upon reflection.


    The Fierce Feather Star Realm is but a Second Level Star Realm, which only allows entry to Prime Warriors.


    However, Li Yuan also harbored some doubts: did the Ancient Torch Divine know when establishing the Hall of Inheritance that it would end up trapped in a Second Level Star Realm?¡­ What Li Yuan didn¡¯t realize was that many of these rules were actually set by Gu You.


    In this Hall of Inheritance, Gu You had immense authority.


    ¡°The third trial is for you to challenge at the Flying Heaven Level, and once you succeed, the reward will be far more substantial, with some treasures that would drive many demigods mad¡­¡±


    ¡°The fourth trial is for you to attempt at the Semi Divine Realm¡­¡±


    ¡°The fifth trial is for when you become a Fifth Rank Divine Being to challenge, and it¡¯s the final test. Once successful, you¡¯ll receive all the heirlooms left behind by our father,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan with a smile.


    Li Yuan listened in amazement.


    The Ancient Torch Divine had set five trials for his future Successor? Especially the last one, which required a Divine Being? It was almost incredible.


    From this alone, Li Yuan could infer that his surrogate teacher, the ¡®Ancient Torch Divine¡¯, was no ordinary Divine.


    Most likely, he was a being that transcended the fifth order.


    ¡­The corridor was very long, and the girl walked leisurely ahead, with Li Yuan naturally not daring to overtake.


    They passed by many ancient doors along the way, doors shrouded in dust, behind which what seemed to be secrets were hidden.


    But since Gu You did not offer explanations, Li Yuan dared not inquire further.


    Finally.


    After passing through a total of six doors, they stopped in front of the seventh door.


    ¡°The trial for Prime Warriors is right here.¡± Gu You smiled, followed by a lifting of her hand.


    Her slender fingers pointed gently at the door, a surge of invisible force sweeping past.


    Boom¡­ The metal doors, sealed for eons, slowly began to open, revealing the scene inside to Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    It was another hall.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, inside.¡± The girl said, an invisible force enveloping Li Yuan, and in an instant, they flew into the metallic gate.


    The expansive hall.


    A white sphere floated high in the sky, casting a hazy glow that illuminated the entire hall.


    In the hall, there were sequentially four areas.


    There was a giant Divine Pillar, entirely golden, engraved with countless mysterious runes that emitted invisible Spiritual Shock waves.


    There was a massive stone wall.


    There was also a huge tournament platform.


    And the last area was empty, except for a yellowish-brown Jade Platform placed at the end.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan pointed at the four major areas of the hall.


    ¡°Just like when you passed the first trial, you have to go through three stages.¡± The girl smiled at Li Yuan, ¡°The Prime Warrior trial is similarly three stages¡­ As for the last area, it¡¯s the ¡®recognition of master¡¯ area.¡±


    ¡°As long as you get through the first three stages, the fourth should not be difficult.¡±


    ¡°Remember.¡±


    ¡°You are not allowed to use external forces, such as Origin Power Weapons and the like.¡± The girl spoke very seriously, ¡°You can only use your own strength.¡±


    ¡°Go.¡± The girl said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about failing¡­ Every Direct Disciple has five chances to attempt; if you fail this time, you can come back next time. The rules left by Master are very humane.¡±


    Five times?


    Li Yuan certainly did not want to repeat the trial. A failure would mean one less opportunity.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped forward and flew straight toward the Spiritual Pillar, approaching within about two hundred meters.


    Boom!


    An invisible force of suppression struck Li Yuan as if struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground with a thud.


    ¡°Can¡¯t fly?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°Little brother, you just need to withstand the oppression of the Spiritual Pillar and touch it to pass the first stage.¡± The girl watched leisurely from the sky, ¡°Remember, you have ten minutes.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan took a step and headed straight for the Spiritual Pillar, immediately feeling an astonishing pressure bearing down on him.


    Spiritual oppression.


    ¡°Such strong oppression.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sharpened. This kind of pressure was much stronger compared to the Spiritual Pillar in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Thump~thump~thump~


    Li Yuan took steps toward the Spiritual Pillar, each step increasing the intensity of the spiritual oppression.


    But Li Yuan was also quickly adapting to the rhythm of this spiritual oppression.


    ¡°Given the increasing rate of spiritual oppression, I fear that even warriors at the Peak of Flying Heaven might not be able to make it to the end,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He believed that if other Prime Warriors were to try, even talents like Lude Nef or Yu Jinghe would find it hard to pass the first stage.


    ¡­in the void.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power is very strong. Once he gets a little accustomed, passing the first stage within five minutes should not be difficult,¡± Gu You thought to herself.


    The trials left by the immensely powerful Ancient Torch Divine were naturally extremely difficult.


    But soon. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Gu You suddenly froze because after adapting for about ten seconds, Li Yuan¡¯s figure burst forth, running wildly and reaching the Spiritual Pillar in just four or five seconds.


    He placed a single palm on the Spiritual Pillar.


    ¡°Sis, I¡¯ve touched it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice echoed in the vast hall.


    Silence fell.


    Several seconds later.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Finally, the voice sounded like music from the void, ¡°Little brother, continue to the second stage¡­ The second stage is very simple. On the stone wall, the right side is blank, while the left has a diagram of the Mysteries of True Intent.¡±


    ¡°You have three hours. As long as you replicate the diagram of the Mysteries of True Intent on the right side completely, you¡¯ll have passed the test,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°All right.¡±


    Li Yuan left the range of the Spiritual Pillar and quickly flew towards the massive stone wall.


    In the void.


    ¡°This?¡± Gu You was still somewhat stunned, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power is strong, it seems to be at the level 36, but it shouldn¡¯t be this easy, could it be that his willpower is even stronger than his spiritual power¡­ or is the Spiritual Pillar broken due to age?¡±


    The girl pondered, just about to go down and test whether the Spiritual Pillar was damaged.


    Suddenly.


    From the second area.


    ¡°Sis, I¡¯ve finished replicating it,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice rang out, echoing in the hall again.


    Whoosh!


    The girl could no longer hold back and stepped forward, teleporting across hundreds of meters.


    She arrived beneath the massive stone wall.


    On the previously empty right side of the wall were now surges of Origin Power, forming a complex ¡®Origin Power Diagram¡¯ that emitted waves of the True Meaning of Earth¡¯s Mystery.


    Although the pattern on the left was slightly different, the emitted True Intent vibrations were almost exactly the same.


    ¡°Little brother, how did you do it?¡± Gu You couldn¡¯t help herself and asked.


    ¡°Is it that difficult?¡±

 Chapter 493: 295: Success Achieved! Throwing in Extra Hope (Add More 19)

    Chapter 493: Chapter 295: Success Achieved! Throwing in Extra Hope (Add More 19)


    Li Yuan truly didn¡¯t find it difficult.


    The patterns carved on the left side of this stone wall, containing the Earth¡¯s Mysteries, were indeed very profound.


    If it had been right after he first condensed the True Meaning of Earth, he might have taken one or two hours to successfully replicate it.


    But over the past year, although Li Yuan had devoted most of his energy to comprehending the Mystery of Wind, his progress on the True Meaning of Earth had actually been even greater¡­ There was no helping it; his talent in the Earth Vein far surpassed that of the Wind Vein.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t find it difficult, but his words had somewhat silenced Gu You.


    Not difficult?


    These tests, after all, were designed specifically for Li Yuan by Gu You; according to her calculations, passing the first two stages should be somewhat challenging for Li Yuan, but not so effortless.


    The third stage? It was supposed to be insurmountable.


    But judging by Li Yuan¡¯s current condition, the first two stages posed no difficulty at all, so how could the third stage be challenging?


    ¡°Little brother, how long have you been condensing the True Meaning of Earth? Three months? Half a year?¡± Gu You suddenly spoke up.


    ¡°One year.¡± Li Yuan answered.


    Gu You was stunned again, questioning her own memory.


    One year? That meant not long after leaving the World within Worlds, Li Yuan had rapidly condensed the True Meaning of Earth from the Fifth Stage High Rank skills?


    What kind of cultivation speed was that?


    ¡°Sister?¡± Li Yuan also noticed a slight change in Gu You¡¯s emotions.


    His own cultivation speed in the Earth¡¯s Mysteries seemed to be far beyond her expectations.


    After a while.


    ¡°You really are a little monster.¡± Gu You suddenly sighed, her gaze complicated as she looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Little brother, you¡­ indeed exceed the imagination, a true prodigy.¡±


    ¡°In your civilization, you must be considered a top-tier talent.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    If just considering his current age, across the history of the entire Seven Star Civilization, nobody could compare with him.


    Even Principal Fang Hai at the age of 20 wasn¡¯t close to him.


    ¡°This Fierce Feather Star Realm is only in contact with a few planes, the entire domain has only opened up for a hundred years, granting few First Rank beings the opportunity to venture through.¡±


    Gu You spoke with some emotion: ¡°In the past, when Father sought Direct Disciples, countless creatures from many planets would flock, vying for the chance to become disciples¡­ But with so few people, to be able to recruit a prodigy like you.¡±


    ¡°Luck!¡±


    ¡°It really is luck.¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°Even compared to those few disciples that Father once cultivated meticulously, you are still somewhat superior.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled unconcernedly.


    Perhaps among the many civilizations in the vast dimensional domains, there might be Prime Warriors stronger than himself because the world is so vast and bound to have some peerless geniuses.


    But speaking solely of cultivation speed, few could probably catch up with him. This was due to both his Comprehension and the aid of many fortuitous encounters provided by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Like this time, although Gu You believed his talent to be extraordinary, she probably didn¡¯t anticipate that within the Seven Star Civilization, there existed an incredible treasure like the ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ that could greatly enhance his growth over the past year.


    To resonate with a Divine Consciousness? That was a method not even left behind by the Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Since your talent is so monstrous, then I will increase the difficulty for you.¡± The maiden suddenly smiled sweetly: ¡°The third stage is a combat assessment, I have set your opponent to be even more formidable¡­ You don¡¯t have to win, if you last a hundred seconds against them, you will be deemed victorious.¡±


    ¡°One hundred seconds? Alright!¡± Li Yuan nodded: ¡°Sister, does that mean I¡¯ve passed the Second Stage?¡±


    ¡°Of course you have, proceed.¡± There was a hint of expectation in Gu You¡¯s eyes.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan leapt towards the arena of the third area; at first glance, the arena seemed very small, with a maximum diameter not exceeding one hundred meters¡­ But before Li Yuan could raise any questions.


    As soon as he flew into range of the arena.


    He felt an invisible fluctuation envelop him, and immediately his field of vision drastically expanded.


    The arena that was only a hundred meters in length and width quickly enlarged into a massive one with a diameter of over three kilometers¡­ Similarly, in the distant view, the stone walls and Divine Pillars within the hall also seemed much larger than before.


    ¡°It¡¯s not the arena that¡¯s gotten larger, it¡¯s me who¡¯s become smaller.¡± Li Yuan realized this instantly, his heart quite shaken.


    So strange!


    This kind of ability, truly profound.


    ¡°Little brother, don¡¯t be surprised, this is just a rudimentary application of the Space Law, the art of shrinking space!¡± Gu You¡¯s pleasant voice resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Prepare for battle.¡±


    ¡°Remember, if you feel that you can¡¯t win, just concede, and the opponent will immediately stop.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Hum~


    Their eyes saw dozens of lights converging in the void of the arena, forming several huge numbers out of thin air ¨C 100


    Li Yuan understood immediately; this was probably the countdown.


    Whoosh~


    On the vast arena floor, a tuft of golden mist spontaneously rose, followed by more mist condensing into a human shape, ultimately forming the figure of a Golden Armored Warrior wielding a Long Spear.


    At first glance, he appeared human.


    Even the flesh and skin seemed incredibly real.


    But an Inquiry from Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace subconsciously made it clear to him that this Golden Armored Warrior was not a real life form.


    ¡°Young master, long time no see.¡± The Golden Armored Warrior cracked a smile, speaking human language.


    ¡°Are you number one? Or number two?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted, long time no see?


    He had only seen so few figures in the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°I am number one.¡± The Golden Armored Warrior spoke, yet its aura began to subtly change; its smile disappeared, as it solemnly said: ¡°Young master, I am commanded to guard the Third Stage, and I will not hold back. Within the rules set, if young master is not strong enough, death is a possibility, so please gauge your own strength.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had a vague guess that the one fighting him might not be the true body of number one; they resembled ¡®intelligent puppets,¡¯ possibly having emotions similar to those of real life forms.


    But compared to emotions, they would adhere more to their orders, without showing personal feelings.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The Golden Armored Warrior suddenly let out a roar and instantly turned into a shadow, its speed swiftly soaring past three times the speed of sound, lightning-fast as it lunged towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°`


    Boom! A burst of terrifying, earthy yellow energy streams exploded instantly from the core of the Golden Armored Warrior, directly forming a True Intent Domain.


    The two were less than three kilometers apart.


    In just two seconds, the Golden Armored Warrior had already closed the distance completely.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan sprang into action in a flash, invoking the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± with a mere thought. His body transformed instantly into a height of five meters, with his combat armor and long spear enlarging swiftly, his entire being exuding a ferocious and robust aura.


    ¡°14th level body refining Star Technique, indeed much stronger than the 10th level,¡± Li Yuan felt the surging powerful strength within him, his fighting spirit soaring!


    The immense strength made Li Yuan¡¯s power burst forth, truly comparable to that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Body Refining Star Technique is the foundation of everything.


    Many 30th or 31st level Flying Heaven Warriors, even if they mastered the Fifth Layer Body Refining Star Technique to the Third Rank limit, were only at the 15th level Star Technique, which could continue to suppress Li Yuan in basic strength¡­ But what if they had not cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique? Many Flying Heaven Warriors in pure strength, were not even a match for Li Yuan now.


    By cultivating the Seventh Layer Star Technique to the current maximum, the gap in the foundation had been greatly closed, making it easier for Li Yuan to fight across ranks.


    Swish! Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain was a thought domain.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    As the two gigantic domains collided, Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain instantly showed signs of crumbling. Immediately after, the two long spears clashed in the void, each release a burst of the True Meaning of Earth.


    A head-on collision.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡±¡­ More than a dozen lightning-fast clashes.


    The terrifying power contained within the Golden Armored Warrior¡¯s Spear Technique, transmitted through the long spear, overwhelmed Li Yuan, forcing him to retreat step by step, with the last strike sending him flying backwards.


    He crashed heavily to the ground.


    ¡°Such exquisite control of power! The force drawn from nature is so refined, definitely a middle Sixth Stage standard,¡± Li Yuan could already sense the gap between them.


    In terms of power alone, Li Yuan augmented with Source Technique was more terrifying, especially surpassing the Golden Armored Warrior.


    But in terms of skill.


    Li Yuan, utilizing only the Mystery of Earth with his Spear Technique, revealed a significant gap in the level of their spear skills.


    ¡°Only six seconds have passed,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the countdown digits in the void above.


    ¡°If I persist in just using the True Meaning of Earth Spear Technique, focusing on defense, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to endure a hundred seconds,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Let¡¯s try a little more, experience it further, then quickly end the battle.¡±


    A middle Sixth Stage skill is already a very high standard, and the majority of Flying Heaven Peak warriors are around this level.


    Li Yuan still wanted to spar a bit more.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A terrifying spear shadow mercilessly slashed, like a meteor falling from the sky, Li Yuan¡¯s form shifted, fluttering like a breeze, easily dodging the blow.


    The Mysteries of the True Meaning of Wind! Li Yuan had unleashed it.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Gu You, who had been leisurely watching the battle, flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes, ¡°The Mystery of Wind? To execute a movement technique instantly to such an extent, it must be at least Fifth Stage Perfection.¡±


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has actually cultivated both veins?¡± Gu You found it somewhat incredible.


    Initially, she hadn¡¯t even noticed any talent from Li Yuan in the Wind Vein.


    And such a drastic change in just over a year?


    It was beyond her expectations.


    ¡°The movement technique, greatly strengthened in an instant.¡± The young girl sighed inwardly, ¡°With this, it will be almost too easy for Li Yuan to hold out for a hundred seconds.¡±


    She had to admit she had underestimated Li Yuan.


    Just over ten seconds later.


    ¡°What?¡± The young girl was utterly shocked, her pupils contracted, fixated on the stage below.


    Li Yuan, who had fiercely battled with the Golden Armored Warrior for hundreds of moves, suddenly changed his tactics.


    Boom!


    Centered on Li Yuan, bursts of earthy yellow energy surged again, this time with an abundance of greenish flows intermixed. The previously collapsing True Intent Domain reformed with even greater might¡­ It quickly dominated the battlefield.


    Most importantly.


    Within this powerful True Intent Domain, the one Li Yuan suddenly multiplied into five.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡±¡­ All five Li Yuans moved simultaneously, their shapes flickering, making it impossible to discern which was real and which was a phantom.


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Overwhelming spear lights completely erupted, at least five spear shadows bearing down, unpredictable and much more powerful than before ¨C by more than tenfold?


    If Li Yuan¡¯s combat power was 100 before.


    Then, with the full eruption now, combining two True Intents, his combat power unquestionably exceeded 1000.


    The combination of two Mysteries of True Intent is a qualitative change.


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± Under the onslaught of sweeping long spears, the Golden Armored Warrior remained eerily calm, struggling to wield his long spear, attempting to block Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Spurt~¡± A long spear unexpectedly thrust from the current, striking strangely. The Golden Armored Warrior couldn¡¯t evade in time, his throat was pierced, creating a bloody hole.


    He staggered backwards immediately.


    The Golden Armored Warrior, being a simulation of real life, naturally suffered a fatal wound.


    Whoosh! S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Another spear swept by, decapitating the Golden Armored Warrior, who couldn¡¯t stand any longer and fell with a thud.


    Dead!


    ¡°Sister, it took 21 seconds,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice rang out, and right after, he transformed into a beam of light and flew up to the high sky, next to the girl in white.


    Gu You, watching Li Yuan intently.


    Suddenly, the girl laughed.


    ¡°Sister, did I pass?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°You passed, the gatekeeper is defeated, you naturally passed,¡± Gu You¡¯s eyes flickered with a hint of tears, and then she could barely hold back her laughter, ¡°Haha, father, I finally see hope.¡±

 Chapter 494: 296 Refinement! The Situation in Mingxu (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 494: Chapter 296 Refinement! The Situation in Mingxu (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    Looking at Gu You who was somewhat discomposed, crying and laughing before him,


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t know what to do for a moment.


    In his memory, Gu You had always been calm and in control of everything.


    This had never happened before.


    ¡°Hope?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, ¡°Gu You, has he come to regard me as hope?¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t speak, just stood quietly to the side.


    He knew well that since the Ancient Torch Divine had left an inheritance, it likely had some request, only it had not been disclosed to him before.


    Moreover, since he was named a Direct Disciple and had received many favors, then if possible in the future, fulfilling the other party¡¯s last wish was also proper.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Brother, I apologize, I was a bit out of sorts just now.¡± The girl suddenly shook her head, her demeanor and poise quickly returning to normal.


    No signs of her previous discomposure could be discerned anymore.


    Gu You didn¡¯t explain, and Li Yuan didn¡¯t inquire about what that ¡®hope¡¯ was.


    ¡°I really can¡¯t figure out how you¡¯ve cultivated,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°In just over a year, you¡¯ve gone from the Fifth Stage High Rank Skill Realm of The Mystery of Earth to the combination of the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind.¡±


    ¡°For so-called geniuses, it would be remarkable to grasp a single True Intent in such a short time, but not only have you comprehended two True Intents, but they are also nearly perfectly combined¡­ In the thousands of years my father ruled over a vast number of planets, there has never been a freak like you.¡± The girl¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement, joy, and confusion, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯ve had another great fortune in this past year?¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned and didn¡¯t know where to start.


    Guidance from Teacher Lie Feng for a whole year was important but not unique.


    Over the past year, if he had to speak of fortunes, it was the Divine Spirit Liquid, along with two Martial God Inheritances.


    For the average genius of typical civilizations,


    it indeed wouldn¡¯t be possible to obtain these.


    The persistent cultivation of the Visualization Method made his spiritual power increase rapidly, which was also a significant aid.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve passed the trial, haven¡¯t I?¡± Li Yuan changed the subject directly.


    ¡°This Gatekeeper was augmented by me; as long as you held your ground, it would have sufficed, but you went as far as directly defeating it.¡± The girl didn¡¯t continue to question him, instead she took up the conversation, ¡°Naturally, you have passed, and extraordinarily well beyond common reasoning.¡±


    ¡°You now qualify to initially claim ownership of the Hall of Inheritance.¡± The girl said, ¡°Come with me.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Gu You soared toward the far end of the hall.


    Li Yuan quickly followed, anticipation stirring in his heart.


    Initial claim of the Hall of Inheritance? According to Gu You, once he made the initial claim, he would be able to carry the entire Hall of Inheritance with him.


    Not to mention anything else, just his ability to protect himself would greatly increase.


    The two rapidly arrived in front of the unremarkable, earthy-yellow Jade Platform.


    ¡°Brother, as long as you refine it, it¡¯s akin to controlling the foundational key of the Hall of Inheritance,¡± Gu You pointed at the earthy-yellow Jade Platform, ¡°You would be able to barely manipulate it to enlarge or shrink the entire Hall of Inheritance, and you could carry it away from the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°At that time, the treasure from passing the second challenge will also be directly bestowed upon you.¡±


    ¡°Some of the secret locations within the Hall of Inheritance will also be within your right to know a bit about, and you can enter at any time.¡± The girl looked at Li Yuan.


    A bit of knowledge?


    Li Yuan muttered inwardly, it seemed that even with an initial claim, he wouldn¡¯t be able to control the entire Hall of Inheritance, which was only natural¡­ according to the commands left by the Ancient Torch Divine, he probably had to become a Divine to fully control the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°Sit on it,¡± she said.


    ¡°Refining the core of the Hall of Inheritance is not easy, usually only a powerful Flying Heaven Warrior can do it.¡± The girl cautioned, ¡°Your Skill Realm is only relatively high among Prime Warriors, but refining it¡­ will likely take a very long time.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Whoosh!


    In one step, Li Yuan crossed dozens of meters of void and gently sat cross-legged on the earthy-yellow Jade Platform.


    Just as he sat down.


    Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept over him, akin to climbing halfway up a mountain feeling extremely hot and irritable, then suddenly drinking a sip of ice-cold cola, his whole soul trembled with refreshing delight indescribable in words.


    Instantly, Li Yuan¡¯s heart became extremely calm and clear, all previous distracting thoughts dissipating.


    ¡°This Jade Platform is definitely a rare and precious object,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Hum~ Hum~


    As Li Yuan sat down, large quantities of strange Secret Runes faintly emerged around the earthy-yellow Jade Platform, with a stream of radiance flowing along their surfaces. The radiance passed from layer to layer, as if waves from all directions crashing towards a central island.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Sitting on the Jade Platform, Li Yuan instantly felt a tremor in his spirit, followed by a guiding invisible force¡­ Numerous fluctuating images came to him.


    Palaces, corridors¡­ the entirety of the Hall of Inheritance seemed to be reflected in his heart, accompanied by an unprecedented pressure that made his heart tremble.


    Enduring this for a long time, his heart might completely shatter under the assault.


    ¡°Hold true to your heart.¡±


    ¡°Now, you just need to follow the sensation, focus on understanding one of the fluctuations, ignore the rest, then imprint your Spiritual Mark on the main hall, and you can complete the initial claim,¡± Gu You¡¯s timely voice echoed, ¡°Don¡¯t always think about achieving everything all at once, your strength isn¡¯t strong enough yet.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan immediately concentrated his spirit, only focusing on refining one of the fluctuation¡¯s Mysteries, which was incredibly complex.


    With his current realm and Soul Power, grasping and refining it was extremely slow. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Time passed.


    In the void.


    ¡°Finally, the true beginning of the claim,¡± the girl in white watched the young man sitting quietly on the Jade Platform.


    She could feel that she was losing a little control over the Hall of Inheritance.


    But her heart felt not a trace of loss, instead, there was joy and excitement, and a tear glistened in her eye: ¡°Father, he will surely make it! Hope has finally appeared!¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Back then, you came from beyond our realm, yet you failed to achieve success,¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is different. He is a native life form, and his talent is so exceptional and terrifying. With my help, he is definitely going to succeed,¡± the girl in white murmured in her heart.


    In those days,


    Ancient Torch Divine led many powerful followers to descend, waging war across numerous planes to achieve the goals in his heart, battling with many divines¡­ He had anticipated the difficulties of this journey early on and left behind many precautions.


    Like the Hall of Inheritance, for instance.


    True Phoenix Divine, being one of the most trusted followers of Ancient Torch Divine and possessing extremely strong survival capabilities, was also one of these precautions.


    Everything went as Ancient Torch Divine had anticipated¡­


    After eons had passed, all that had happened had long since dissipated into dust; this vast and boundless Dimensional Domain had settled into tranquility.


    ¡°I had thought that hope was exceedingly slim.¡±


    ¡°But who could have anticipated!¡±


    ¡°Father, I could actually find here a genius whose talent far surpasses yours,¡± the girl silently said, ¡°Perhaps even the heavens are aiding us in this endeavor.¡±


    She patiently awaited Li Yuan¡¯s recognition of lordship.


    ¡­


    As days went by, while Li Yuan was in the World within Worlds¡¯ Hall of Inheritance, continuously attempting refinement and to leave behind a Spiritual Imprint,


    Feixing, headquarters of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°There are records of Li Yuan entering the Fierce Feather Star Realm, but no records of him entering the World within Worlds?¡± the San Ye Semi Divine, wearing a cold mask, received the news from the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°Now, we have lost track of Li Yuan, with his communicator completely out of contact?¡±


    ¡°The chambers of the World within Worlds, the stationed martial artists withdrew three days ago, and up until now, no one has entered again?¡± San Ye Semi Divine was alarmed.


    Something seemed rather eerie.


    Without further hesitation, San Ye Semi Divine immediately activated various secret means, trying to contact Li Yuan¡­ but all to no avail.


    ¡°Fierce Feather Star Realm, being just a Second Level Star Realm, where the permanently residing Flying Heaven Warriors are simply common ones. With Li Yuan¡¯s strength, he should not have been threatened by anyone,¡± San Ye Semi Divine thought, ¡°Moreover, even if a battle of Flying Heaven Level were to erupt, Li Yuan should at least have some capacity to fight back.¡±


    ¡°But there¡¯s no trace of him at all.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has another method of entering the World within Worlds? Then he might have gone into some secret place within and has temporarily avoided the chambers?¡± San Ye Semi Divine speculated reasonably.


    In fact, her speculations were very close to the truth.


    After a long contemplation,


    ¡°In the Fierce Feather Star Realm, within the World within Worlds, attempt to contact Li Yuan continuously for 24 hours.¡± San Ye Semi Divine gave the order, ¡°Also, keep the chamber vacant; no one is allowed to enter.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    August 16, 2045.


    Mingxu Star Realm.


    After over a year of construction, the previously visited outpost base number three by Li Yuan had expanded nearly a hundredfold and had come to resemble a mid-sized city.


    There weren¡¯t many residential areas, but a multitude of factories were operational, countless unmanned aerial vehicles patrolled.


    Many towering weapon towers stood erect, highly vigilant.


    Scores of high-speed railways stretched deep into the earth, trains crossed, bringing in vast amounts of mineral resources, while simultaneously, numerous martial artists and Mechanical Legions rode the trains deeper into the star realm.


    Today,


    Over base number three, within a hovering super-large warship with a diameter stretching over two hundred meters,


    Within a large conference room in its interior, many gathered here, each emanating formidable auras.


    ¡°`


    If Li Yuan had been here, he would have recognized several figures at a glance, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, An Yongya.


    Many of the top-tier talents from Seven Star Mountain had already gathered in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°All preparations for the general offensive have been completed, all Mechanical Legions and Martial Artists are in position, the aerial troops can also be dispatched at any moment¡­¡± a red-robed Flying Heaven Warrior whispered, ¡°Old Yu, should we move out?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s start the preparations, we can reach there within two hours,¡± Yu Jinghe whispered back, ¡°This battle is bound to be brutal, but leave the enemy¡¯s Flying Heaven-level forces for us to handle.¡±


    After multiple major battles over the past year,


    In field warfare, the Seven Star Civilization had gained an absolute advantage, and now they were about to launch a general offensive against the ¡®Tianliang Civilization Base¡¯ two thousand kilometers away, aiming to completely destroy it.


    Once the base is destroyed and the entrance to the Star Realm is blocked, it will be difficult for the Tianliang Civilization to launch a counterattack and regain a foothold.


    Although like the Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Clan controls four major bases in the Mingxu Star Realm and two portals, with two major bases built around them,


    the destruction of one means the loss of a strategic support point, and the situation will quickly deteriorate.


    ¡°According to our intelligence, there are still quite a number of talented warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors hidden within the Tianliang Civilization Base,¡± said the red-robed Flying Heaven Warrior, unable to help himself, ¡°Even the Myriad Demons Civilization might send talents. Should we request support from above and ask the Spirit Gun to come before the general offensive?¡±


    For a moment, the meeting room went quiet.


    The Spirit Gun? Although they were all fighting in the Mingxu Star Realm, they were also aware of the grand battle taking place in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    The name ¡°Spirit Gun¡± resonated like thunder.


    ¡°Rest assured, gentlemen, I am not one of those pedantic people who worry about the Spirit Gun taking our so-called credit,¡±


    ¡°In fact, I have already requested the higher-ups and Semi-Divines, hoping that the Spirit Gun would come to the battle,¡± Yu Jinghe shook his head, ¡°But the Semi-Divines replied¡­ The Spirit Gun is currently undergoing important cultivation, and unless absolutely necessary, he will not come.¡±


    ¡°Lude Nef is the same, he too is at a critical junction in his cultivation.¡±


    Everyone nodded slightly.


    Over time, they had all come to greatly admire Yu Jinghe, who was a genuinely selfless leader.


    ¡°Drip~¡± Suddenly, a figure flickered on a distant projection screen,


    The figure seemed to be flying at high speed, frantically roaring, ¡°Requesting backup! Requesting backup!¡±


    ¡°Tavares, what happened?¡± Yu Jinghe asked urgently.


    ¡°I¡¯ve discovered important clues to a relic, possibly one of the entrances, on the eastern side of area ¡¯67¡¯ on the outskirts of Ming Mountain,¡± Tavares said hastily, ¡°But there, a large group of local Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts are guarding it!!¡±


    ¡°As soon as we approached, they detected us and immediately pursued us.¡±


    ¡°Rao Dao is dead.¡±


    ¡°I am trying to escape, requesting support! Support!¡± Tavares¡¯s face showed a hint of madness.


    The color drained from everyone¡¯s faces.


    Rao Dao, a Flying Heaven Warrior from Xia Country, had been in the Mingxu Star Realm for less than half a year, and he had died?


    ¡°Postpone the general offensive plan, delay it indefinitely.¡±


    ¡°Leave the Flying Heaven-level forces to guard, the rest will follow me,¡± Yu Jinghe said gravely.


    Yu Jinghe turned and left.


    Soon after, a large group of Flying Heaven-level forces transformed into streaks of light and soared into the sky, rushing towards the direction of area 67.


    ¡­


    August 18th.


    World within Worlds, Hall of Inheritance, within that mysterious hall,


    ¡°Boom~¡± The entire hall trembled faintly, as Gu You waited with a smile on her face.


    She knew, Li Yuan had begun to make headway in the Refinement process.


    ¡°The Hall of Inheritance? So that¡¯s it!¡± Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform, slowly opened his eyes.

    Chapter 496: Chapter 297: The Gift of Treasures! Wondrous Uses of the Divine Artifact (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    After the initial refinement of the Hall of Inheritance, Li Yuan truly felt its magical essence and could vaguely sense each area within the divine hall.


    Of course, many places were very blurry to him, and he couldn¡¯t perceive them at all.


    It was clear that what he controlled now was just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°Having refined the central hub of the main hall, I can barely sense the entirety of the Hall of Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But if I want to activate it?¡±


    When Li Yuan induced the origin of the Hall of Inheritance, trying to activate it even slightly, it felt as though he was trying to lift a massive mountain, an incredibly daunting task!


    He couldn¡¯t activate it at all.


    ¡°Stop trying to activate it.¡±


    A voice like that of the heavens came from Gu You next to him, ¡°You¡¯ve just begun to refine the core and haven¡¯t grasped its mysteries yet. The entire Hall of Inheritance is an extremely powerful divine artifact¡­ To truly manipulate the whole Hall of Inheritance, you may have a glimmer of hope when you become a demigod.¡±


    ¡°A divine artifact? And an extremely powerful one at that?¡± Li Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of shock in his gaze.


    Divine artifacts!


    Li Yuan naturally knew that by definition, these were the weapons used by the divine.


    Just like when Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji said he could get his hands on a divine artifact long spear, it shocked Li Yuan considerably.


    Every divine artifact holds immense power, but they also come with great difficulty in their use. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    According to Gu You, this Hall of Inheritance was among the strongest of divine artifacts.


    ¡°Sister,¡± Li Yuan stood up.


    With a single step, he came to Gu You¡¯s side.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a divine artifact, how could I refine it?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Many semi divine artifacts were beyond his ability to refine now.


    ¡°It was deliberately set up by our father when he first made the Hall of Inheritance. You¡¯ve only just begun to refine it, and most of it is controlled by me,¡± Gu You said with a smile, ¡°As time goes by, and as you pass the next three challenges, your control over the Hall of Inheritance will naturally strengthen until you perfectly master it.¡±


    ¡°Like right now, you¡¯re the nominal owner of the Hall of Inheritance, but you can¡¯t even sense my presence.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, not only unable to sense Gu You.


    Just like No.1, No.2, and No.3, who he had sparred with before, he couldn¡¯t sense where they were at all.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Now that you have initially refined the Hall of Inheritance, it¡¯s time to grant you the second treasure,¡± the girl said, ¡°and, while we¡¯re at it, I¡¯ll introduce you to the many wonderful uses of the Hall of Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°First of all, this hall where we are now is called the ¡®Hundred Battles Chamber.¡¯ Its main feature is the arena below,¡± the girl pointed below and continued, ¡°It is known as the ¡®Hundred Battles Arena.¡¯


    Li Yuan looked down below.


    ¡°You¡¯ve tried it during your trials in the last few days,¡± Gu You said with a smile, ¡°Now if you try it again, you can choose your opponents at will, set their strength, choose group battles, or even simulated sieges.¡±


    ¡°You can set up to a hundred opponents.¡±


    ¡°The strongest opponent you can set is at level 36, and their skill set to True Intent Perfection,¡± Gu You explained, ¡°It¡¯s essentially a live combat training ground.¡±


    ¡°Those opponents are all controlled just like No.1.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up; he immediately felt the impressiveness of the Hundred Battles Arena.


    Compared with the Seven Star Mountain, the strength of the combat training robots there was limited, and there was only one; they were not much use to him anymore. He had rarely used combat training robots during his cultivation on Seven Star Mountain.


    In contrast, this Hundred Battles Arena was much stronger.


    It would allow him to fully exert himself and try out numerous techniques.


    ¡°That jade platform is not only the control center but is also known as the Meditation Platform. It can quickly still your mind when you are restless,¡± Gu You said, ¡°In a sense, it can assist in enlightenment.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had experienced the power of the jade platform in the past few days.


    ¡°Follow me.¡±


    Gu You turned and flew out of the Hundred Battles Chamber, and Li Yuan hurriedly followed. The two walked along the vast corridor.


    They arrived outside another dusty hall. As the doors slowly opened, the inside was bathed in light.


    Whoosh!


    The intense flow of divine crystal energy that hit him made Li Yuan feel refreshingly invigorated.


    Such rich divine crystal energy.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan asked, holding his breath.


    ¡°This is the ¡®Divine Crystal Chamber,''¡± Gu You spoke softly, ¡°Essentially, it¡¯s an upgraded version of the ¡®stone chamber¡¯ found deep within the vein of the grotto-heaven.¡±


    Li Yuan listened thoughtfully.


    ¡°The so-called divine crystal energy is a higher-level and more powerful form of Origin Power,¡± Gu You said, ¡°So, when a large number of divine crystals gather and gradually diffuse, they can form a large Origin Stone vein¡­ Like the divine beings refining Cosmic Origin Power, the Divine Origin Power formed in their bodies can be directly transformed into divine crystals.¡±


    ¡°In the vast world where our father resided, divine crystals are a common currency.¡±


    ¡°They have many uses, whether for the cultivation of Star Techniques, Origin Power cultivation, recovery from injuries, and so on ¨C all can make use of it.¡±


    ¡°To activate some powerful Origin Power Weapons, advanced Cosmic Warships, formidable puppets, and so on, divine crystals are used, making them a hard currency in the River of Dimensions.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of divine crystals became clearer.


    ¡°The Hall of Inheritance is engraved with a powerful Origin Power Array, which slowly absorbs external Origin Power and stores it in the energy storage room. Having remained in the Fierce Feather Star Realm for a long period, the energy storage room has already reached its limit over the long years,¡± Gu You explained, ¡°And the Divine Crystal Chamber is connected to the storage room.¡±


    ¡°In the future, once you reach the Flying Heaven Level,¡±


    ¡°To accelerate the improvement of your physical quality and the cultivation of Star Techniques, among other things, you can come to the ¡®Divine Crystal Chamber,¡¯ which is equivalent to being supplied with Five Elements Divine Crystals for free,¡± Gu You said with a smile, ¡°However, the efficiency of cultivation is much lower than using divine crystals directly.¡±


    Li Yuan was in awe.


    Such luxury!


    Five Elements Divine Crystals are incredibly precious. Within the Seven Star Civilization, they must be exchanged for a large number of Seven Stars Points.

    ¡°Contact Li Yuan?¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s face showed a hint of anxiety, her heart filled with concern, ¡°Can¡¯t get in touch with him? What¡¯s happened to him?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that he¡¯s in danger,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said, ¡°Half a month ago, Li Yuan sent a message, applying to use¡­¡±


    San Ye Semi Divine quickly detailed the sequence of events and the full situation to Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°In fact, ten days ago he sent a message saying that he was in seclusion within ¡®World within Worlds¡¯, and that there was no longer any need for the stone chamber, allowing us to arrange for others to enter as we saw fit.¡± San Ye Semi Divine continued, ¡°But since then, we still haven¡¯t been able to contact him¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Lin Lanyue¡¯s hanging heart was put at ease, already understanding the reason.


    Li Yuan was in ¡®World within Worlds¡¯, but out of contact.


    Then, the likelihood was that he had returned to the Hall of Inheritance.


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine, is there something important that requires contacting him urgently?¡± Lin Lanyue asked directly.


    In Lin Lanyue¡¯s view, since Li Yuan had returned to the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance Hall, it must be for an important matter.


    Why the rush to find him?


    ¡°It¡¯s not that we are in a hurry, it¡¯s just that the war in Mingxu Star Realm has reached a critical juncture, and his participation is needed,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said to Lin Lanyue, not exerting the pressure of a Semi Divine, but rather treating her almost as an equal.


    San Ye Semi Divine was aware of Lin Lanyue¡¯s circumstances.


    Her strength and talent didn¡¯t seem too dazzling, even less so than same-age peers like Tian Dazhuang and Dantai Feng, but the powerful bloodline she carried within her meant her future potential was almost that of a Semi Divine.


    Furthermore, Lin Lanyue was a disciple of a Divine Being.


    For various reasons, Lin Lanyue¡¯s actual status was extremely high, just like Li Yuan¡­ Her real situation was kept secret, known only to a few Semi Divines, and almost no one else.


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm wants Li Yuan to participate in the war?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Even Yu Jinghe can only struggle to hold on in the battle, can Li Yuan really turn the tide if he goes?¡±


    The direness of the war in Mingxu Star Realm had long spread throughout Martial Divine Star Realm, and naturally, Lin Lanyue was aware of it.


    ¡°Lanyue.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°You just need to return to ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ and tell Li Yuan the situation¡­ he will naturally understand,¡± San Ye Semi Divine was not willing to reveal too much: ¡°The sooner, the better.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Lanyue answered, though with some hesitation in her heart, she ultimately agreed.


    She was also worried about Xia Country in her heart.


    In the war of Mingxu Star Realm, Xia Country was the one facing the brunt and paying the greatest price.


    After cutting the communication.


    ¡°The war in Mingxu Star Realm is so perilous, I¡¯ve heard that a whole batch of Flying Heaven Warriors have died, and several top talents from Seven Star Mountain have fallen,¡± Lin Lanyue thought to herself, ¡°But according to San Ye Semi Divine, once Li Yuan arrives, he would be able to lift the siege?¡±


    ¡°Has Li Yuan become that strong?¡±


    Suddenly, Lin Lanyue thought of a possibility, and a flash of shock crossed her bright eyes: ¡°Could it be?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is the Spirit Gun?¡±


    Within the entire Seven Star Civilization, if there was someone who still had hopes of reversing the situation in the battle of Mingxu Star Realm, Lin Lanyue could only think of Spirit Gun.


    ¡­


    In ¡®World within Worlds,¡¯ within the Hall of Inheritance¡¯s Hundred Battles Arena.


    Hundred Battles Arena.


    From the outside, the entire Hundred Battles Arena was not more than a hundred meters in length and width.


    But being inside, it was quite vast, with a minimum diameter of three kilometers, and the maximum range could reach up to ten kilometers, which involved the use of Space Law in a very profound way.


    Today.


    Li Yuan, like the past few days, was once again in the Hundred Battles Arena, sparring and fighting against many Golden Armored Warriors.


    He set all his opponents to level 30, with skills and enlightenment set to the Sixth Stage.


    A total of twenty Golden Armored Warriors.


    Boom! The battle was fierce beyond compare.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A total of six Li Yuans, each being five meters tall, turned into streaks of light weaving and flickering within the multiple layers of Earth¡¯s aura.


    Each one moved at extreme speed.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Stop him.¡± Those Golden Armored Warriors, too, were extremely fierce in their speed and ferocious in their attacks, repeatedly trying to team up and land a hit on Li Yuan, but were easily dodged by his shimmering Phantom Body.


    The domains activated by these Golden Armored Warriors did not belong to one another and instead, were completely suppressed by Li Yuan¡¯s domain.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!¡± Streaks of enigmatic and ruthlessly fierce Spear Light swept across the Vast Sky, possessing both speed and attacking power, easily piercing through the vital spots of the Golden Armored Warriors¡¯ bodies.


    One by one they fell.


    Like a leisurely walk in the park, in just a few minutes, all twenty ¡®ordinary Flying Heaven¡¯ Golden Armored Warriors had been slain by Li Yuan.


    It was a completely one-sided battle.


    The entire arena returned to calm, hiss~ countless golden mists rose, again forming the shape of a Golden Armored Warrior without any weapons.


    ¡°Congratulations, young master, your strength has progressed compared to yesterday,¡± the Golden Armored Warrior said with a smile, ¡°You probably have broken through to the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage in the True Meaning of Earth.¡±


    ¡°Number One, your perceptive abilities are indeed extraordinary,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, as he stowed his Long Spear.


    During his time in the Hall of Inheritance.


    At first, Li Yuan had been in Concealed Cultivation within the Divine Crystal Chamber, and after ten-plus days with a massive influx of Earth Origin Crystal Energy, he had finally succeeded in advancing the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Second Order Limit.


    The Earth Origin Crystals consumed had also exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s initial expectations.


    If one were to cultivate using Earth Origin Crystals, probably two whole pieces would be necessary, which meant using Earth Origin Crystals worth 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    Luckily!


    The Divine Crystal Chamber was free to use, although the efficiency of cultivation was much lower, but Li Yuan didn¡¯t mind spending a little extra time.


    After cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the pinnacle of the Second Order, and when running his Star Meridian, Li Yuan noticed the potency of having trained the Supreme Star Technique to the Second Order Limit¡­ it improved his sensitivity to the fluctuations of earth¡¯s Mystery within the world by a significant margin.


    Many of the previous confusions in Spear Technique were almost effortlessly resolved when Li Yuan re-contemplated and reflected on them.

    Chapter 499: Chapter 298: Strength Transformation! Return (Extra 20)_2


    ¡°`


    Constant breakthroughs.


    It¡¯s worth noting that at the beginning of July, when bidding farewell to Lie Feng Semi Divine and returning to Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan felt he was not far from making a breakthrough with the True Meaning of Earth.


    In the past two months, he had been working hard on his cultivation.


    The transformation of his Star Technique today! It finally caused Li Yuan to burst forth completely, and in just a few short days, he pushed the True Meaning of Earth, which was on the edge of breakthrough, to Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage.


    His overall strength naturally increased.


    ¡°The breakthrough of the True Meaning of Earth is just the beginning, the combination of the mysteries of earth and wind only increased the power by thirty percent,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    After such long cultivation practice, Li Yuan had discovered that once the True Intent was condensed for both earth and wind mysteries, their combined power transformed¡­ but beyond that, no matter which type of True Intent continued to break through, the combined power of the mysteries would hardly change qualitatively.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s judgment.


    ¡°Once both True Intents reach the level of laws, and combine again, the power of my Spear Technique will surge once more,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°For now, however, I can only progress slowly.¡±


    Of course, he was extremely satisfied with the speed of his skills¡¯ improvement.


    ¡°The skill level of Flying Heaven Peak warriors is generally at the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage, with a few at the High Rank. Perfection of the Sixth Stage is at the level of a Demigod,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°And me?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts stirred, and at his fingertips, two streams of air flow seemed to chase each other, faintly merging into one.


    ¡°After the mysteries are combined, although it¡¯s still not on par with Perfection of the Sixth Stage, it should be considered the pinnacle among the High Rank techniques of the Sixth Stage,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The gap from High Rank techniques of the Sixth Stage to Perfection of the Sixth Stage was still very large and extremely difficult to bridge.


    A vast number of Flying Heaven Peak Martial Artists are trapped at this step.


    ¡°The Star Garment has also been initially nurtured successfully, with a Spiritual Imprint branded, allowing it to exert part of its power,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts moved.


    In an instant, his body was enveloped in a layer of black battle garment, and his life¡¯s aura underwent a noticeable change.


    The Star Garment was the Semi Divine Level Battle Garment that Gu You had given to him.


    Because the core of the battle garment contained the fluctuations of the mysteries of the Earth Vein, it was named ¡®Star¡¯ by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Now.¡±


    ¡°If I encounter Dean Hai again, and put forth my full effort, I should be able to protect myself,¡± a slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuan¡¯s mouth.


    Dean Hai is a 34-Level Flying Heaven Martial Artist, extremely powerful, and before the great battle in Rob Sea Star Realm, Dean Hai effortlessly defeated Li Yuan using his Domain Star Technique.


    But today¡¯s Li Yuan, compared to himself during the Rob Sea Battle, had greatly enhanced his overall strength.


    Suddenly.


    Buzz~ Countless rays of light converged, and a white-clothed figure appeared out of thin air in the void.


    ¡°War God Gu You,¡± Number One greeted with respect.


    ¡°Sister,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up as well, having been in secluded cultivation by himself for over ten days, Gu You had not shown herself.


    The young girl had a smile on her face.


    Though she seldom appeared, she had been quietly observing Li Yuan, and his rate of progress had indeed astonished her.


    Especially after cultivating the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± to the Second Order Limit, he quickly broke through to the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage¡­ This speed of cultivation was enough to make countless geniuses feel out of their depth.


    ¡°Little brother,¡±


    ¡°The named disciple ¡®Lin Lanyue¡¯ chosen by Xiao Huo has arrived,¡± the girl spoke softly, ¡°She¡¯s looking for you.¡±


    ¡°Lanyue? Looking for me?¡± Li Yuan was slightly startled, instantly realizing, ¡°The great battle of the Mingxu Star Realm has come?¡±


    Li Yuan originally planned to cultivate for a month before returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    After all, once back in the Martial Divine Star Realm, it would not be appropriate to make casual use of the Hall of Inheritance.


    He didn¡¯t expect Lin Lanyue to arrive so quickly.


    ¡­


    The True Phoenix Divine, Hall of Inheritance.


    Whew!


    In the vast hall teeming with fiery red, a black-clothed figure appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Lanyue,¡± the young man in black looked toward the distant woman in a fiery red robe, revealing a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward, ¡°Are you alright?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°What¡¯s up? Is it about the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Swiftly, Lin Lanyue recounted the situation of the Mingxu Star Realm to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the battle is now fierce, and according to what I learned from the elders of Flame City before I left, it seems that the native Flying Heaven warriors of the Mingxu Star Realm are already counterattacking,¡± Lin Lanyue said. ¡°In the Tianliang Civilization, a good number of Flying Heaven-level warriors have emerged, and several are Flying Heaven Warriors who have broken through from Prime Warriors¡­ It seems there¡¯s the shadow of the Myriad Demons Civilization behind this.¡±


    ¡°True Intent Flying Heaven powerhouses?¡± A trace of solemnity flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Normally, among the many Second Level Star Realms, those who are permanent residents at the Flying Heaven Level are generally warriors at Fifth Stage Perfection who have broken through¡­ Their potential is limited, and they almost certainly cannot become a Demigod in the future.


    But Prime Warriors of True Intent? Each of them can be considered geniuses, all with the potential of a Demigod.


    Therefore, such talents are not easily allowed to break through to the Flying Heaven Realm and stay permanently in the Second Level Star Realms.


    However, evidently, either the Tianliang Civilization or the Myriad Demons Civilization behind it is continuously raising the stakes, investing more resources.


    ¡°In that case, it¡¯s time for me to join the battle,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you really a Spirit Gun?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    Lin Lanyue had already understood the answer, her heart jolting.


    ¡°Fine, Lanyue, since you¡¯ve come back, you might as well cultivate for a few more days in the Hall of Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°When I return from the Mingxu Star Realm, we shall meet again in the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll be off then.¡±


    ¡°Be careful,¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help saying, her eyes full of concern.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Whoosh!


    Waves of ripples emanated from Li Yuan¡¯s figure, and he had already vanished from the temple.


    ¡­


    In the dim void, this is the heart of World within Worlds.


    ¡°Retract!¡± With a thought, Li Yuan fully engaged the Hall of Inheritance, and the colossal sphere in the void, covered with thick earthen yellow streams, began to shrink.


    From a towering thousand meters, it swiftly shrank to a hundred meters, ten meters, one meter.


    Until it finally became a speck in the palm of Li Yuan¡¯s hand, virtually undetectable by the naked eye.


    This was the Hall of Inheritance, its true name being ¡®Ancient Divine Palace.¡¯


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh¡ªa streak of light flickered, forming the figure of a girl in white next to Li Yuan.


    It¡¯s Gu You.


    ¡°Sister,¡± Li Yuan was startled, ¡°Why have you come out?¡± Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°To say goodbye to an old friend,¡± the girl said with a smile, her gaze falling into the distance, where countless fires converged in the void.


    Eventually, they formed the figure of a child in a fiery red robe.


    ¡°Sister Gu You, you¡¯re finally able to leave. You¡¯ve waited so long for this day. Both the master and the Ancient Torch Divine, if they knew, would surely be happy,¡± the child looked at Gu You, with a flicker of excitement in his eyes, and then a hint of loneliness, ¡°It¡¯s just regrettable that I can¡¯t go with you.¡±


    Clearly, this child in the fiery red robe is the ¡®Boundary Spirit¡¯ of World within Worlds.


    ¡°Xiao Huo!¡±


    ¡°Lin Lanyue¡¯s talent and determination are good, there¡¯s hope for you to break free,¡± the girl said with a smile. ¡°Your sister will be waiting for you in the outside world.¡±


    The relationship between Gu You and the Boundary Spirit is evidently quite close; for tens of thousands of years, they have been like kin to each other.


    ¡­


    Taking the Hall of Inheritance, he left the heart of World within Worlds.


    A day later, Li Yuan had already arrived from Feixing to ¡®Jiangnan Province¡¯ in Blue Star Xia Country.

 Chapter 500: 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)

    Chapter 500: Chapter 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)


    The height of summer was drawing to a close.


    Jiangnan Province, one of the most prosperous provinces of Xia Country, had a dreamlike charm in the misty rain of summer, yet it also bore a hint of sweltering heat.


    In the void, Li Yuan stood quietly, looking down at the lotus flowers in the pond below.


    Droplets of rain fell, striking the surface of the pond and rippling outward.


    This was an ancient town.


    ¡°Buzz~ Buzz~¡± Countless droplets of rain falling nearby, even before they could approach Li Yuan, instantly evaporated, creating an area around him that spanned three meters and seemed like a forbidden zone.


    However, the invisible distortion of light made many pedestrians in the ancient town below completely oblivious to this eerie scene playing out overhead.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan slightly turned his head, his gaze drawn to the distance.


    Through the hazy, thin rain, a distortion of light occurred and then returned to normal.


    A man in black clothing, appearing to be about thirty years old, emerged; his aura was restrained, but a sharpness could still be felt.


    ¡°[Target individual, Life Level 36.9]¡± Li Yuan, having deployed Divine Palace Inquiry, thought to himself: ¡°As expected, the principal is just a Six Star Pulse.¡±


    The last time he met Fang Hai, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level had not been high enough, and Divine Palace Inquiry could only determine that Fang Hai was at least a Six Star Pulse.


    Now it was confirmed.


    The Seven Star Veins were nearly mythical in many civilizations; even someone with the talents of Fang Hai had not reached it.


    Huh!


    Fang Hai had already approached Li Yuan.


    ¡°Principal.¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.


    ¡°It¡¯s only been a little over a year, but your realm has indeed become remarkably high. I hadn¡¯t even come close, and you detected me.¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, revealing a slight smile, ¡°You truly deserve the title of ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ the first Prime Warrior of the civilization; it probably won¡¯t be too long before you surpass me.¡±


    ¡°The principal jests.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    To catch up with Fang Hai, Li Yuan estimated that it would take him at least five years or even more.


    After all, he himself was making progress.


    But with the principal, Fang Hai¡¯s talent, his strength was also advancing rapidly.


    ¡°The great war in the Mingxu Star Realm, I originally didn¡¯t want to involve you, considering your prominence. Once you join the battle, the Myriad Demons Civilization will surely target you,¡± Fang Hai sighed, ¡°Moreover, your talent and potential have probably not yet reached the limit of a Prime Warrior. You still have room to grow.¡±


    ¡°The casualties are just too great,¡± he continued.


    ¡°If you do not participate, we might have to consider retreating, and by then, all four major bases might be destroyed. If we rebuild them in the future, the cost will be greater.¡±


    ¡°I understand, Principal.¡± Li Yuan said calmly.


    On the way from Fierce Feather Star Realm, Li Yuan had already gotten a rough understanding of the battle situation. Two of the original four major bases had been breached, and many new war bases, forward bases¡­ had also been mostly destroyed.


    In fact, the only ones still maintaining stability were the original Base 3 and Base 4.


    Even the Flying Serpent Valley Base, which had been established because of Li Yuan, had been mostly destroyed.


    The total number of casualties had reached hundreds of thousands!


    Just the number of Martial Artists who died was staggering¡­ of course, both Tianliang Civilization and the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm suffered heavy losses too.


    ¡°The enemy will not wait for my strength to reach its limit before waging war. We can only work hard to cultivate,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°and be ready to join the fight at any time.¡±


    ¡°Actually, we of the high command have discussed it; many demigods believe that inciting the great war in the Mingxu Star Realm was a mistake. We should have expanded progressively, avoiding conflict with Tianliang Civilization,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°We should have waited for the best opportunity.¡±


    ¡°If Tianliang Civilization made the same choice as us, that would have been fine, preventing any provocation of the native life,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°but we could not do that.¡±


    ¡°This is a struggle for civilization¡¯s living space. We cannot trust each other, both wanting to expand as quickly as possible to establish an advantage and then lock down each other¡¯s Star Realm entrances.¡± Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The treasures that might be contained within Ming Mountain are worth fighting for,¡± Li Yuan continued, ¡°The only mistake is that we all underestimated the native forces.¡±


    According to the intelligence Li Yuan had received, the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm had already identified hundreds of Flying Heaven Level beings¡­ a seemingly small number given the vast territory of Mingxu Star Realm.


    But one must know, within Mingxu Star Realm, there was no unified civilization with a heritage.


    Instead, there were many Exotic Beast Tribes each fighting their own battles.


    Most of their cultivation relied on bloodlines and instincts, so having so many Flying Heaven Level beings was quite remarkable.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Fang Hai sighed softly, ¡°Back when Mingxu Star Realm was a First Level Star Realm, we couldn¡¯t delve too deep to investigate, leading to an underestimation of the native forces.¡±


    ¡°Now, it all depends on you,¡± he concluded.


    ¡°Without you, the higher-ups might have already considered giving up on Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai said shaking his head, ¡°However, you and others will face a drastically increased risk of falling in such a fierce battle.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°Principal.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Each generation has its own responsibilities.¡±


    ¡°If our native civilization were invaded, we would have to rely on you, the principal, and the Alliance Hierarch and other demigods,¡± Li Yuan stated.


    ¡°But as for interstellar wars, it¡¯s up to us to see them through.¡±


    ¡°When you were a Prime Warrior, Principal, you too, as the civilization¡¯s first Prime Warrior, dominated many Star Realms. Didn¡¯t the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization regard you as a thorn in their side? Did they not try to assassinate you multiple times?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    With his current level of access, Li Yuan was entitled to know many of the deeds from Fang Hai¡¯s rise.


    ¡°Lude Nef fought in the Rob Sea Star Realm and wreaked havoc in the Fierce Feather Star Realm; without him and Yu Jinghe battling desperately, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to wrest control of the World within Worlds from the Immortal Ruins Civilization so easily,¡± Li Yuan explained, ¡°Big Brother Yu has supported the conflict in Mingxu Star Realm for over a year as well.¡±

    Chapter 501: Chapter 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s my turn to shoulder the load,¡±


    ¡°As the first Prime Warrior of the civilization, deciding the fate of the entire Star Realm¡¯s war is my responsibility, as well as an honor,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s also the ideal I had when I was younger.¡±


    The ideal he had when he was younger? Fang Hai was taken aback upon hearing this. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan pointed towards the ancient town below, ¡°Principal, I remember this old town used to be quite bustling, but now it seems there are hardly any tourists.¡±


    Fang Hai looked down.


    Within the haze of the misty rain,


    the town that was always lively and prosperous throughout the year was indeed scarcely populated now.


    In the past year, during the all-out war in the Mingxu Star Realm, the entire Xia Country had entered a state of total mobilization¡­ Even the home front was far from peace.


    Huge amounts of supplies and manpower had been poured into the Star Realm.


    At this moment, Fang Hai understood that Li Yuan truly wished to take part in this battle from the bottom of his heart.


    ¡°Li Yuan, take this.¡± Fang Hai flipped his palm open.


    Within his palm emerged a silver Battle Garment, radiating faint, mysterious fluctuations.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense perception, the silver Battle Garment didn¡¯t even seem to exist.


    ¡°Is this the ¡®Phantom Spirit Garment¡¯ that the Alliance Hierarch recently mentioned to me?¡± Curiosity flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Why was he here waiting for Fang Hai?


    It was to wait for Fang Hai to retrieve this treasure from Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Try to bind it to yourself first,¡± Fang Hai waved his hand.


    The silver Battle Garment in his palm immediately flew toward Li Yuan.


    With a thought, Li Yuan manipulated the forces of heaven and earth, causing the silver Battle Garment to descend in front of him.


    He reached out to touch it!


    ¡°Sizzle~¡± Li Yuan quickly imprinted his Spiritual Mark on the Battle Garment, and immediately, Origin Power followed his fingertips, surging into the garment and completing the bonding process.


    Whoosh~


    With a thought, the thin-as-cicada-wing Battle Garment, like flowing water, merged into Li Yuan¡¯s arm, becoming one with his flesh.


    Instantly, in Li Yuan¡¯s perception, the silver Battle Garment had transformed into streams of silver power that penetrated every part of his body.


    The next moment,


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s entire body was faintly enveloped by the silver Battle Garment, and he suddenly grew taller by a bit, with his facial features undergoing noticeable changes.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan¡¯s life essence and soul aura both underwent a subtle transformation.


    If the aura Li Yuan exuded before was balanced and harmonious,


    then now, his whole body emitted a cold air, as if pushing people thousands of miles away.


    Coldness!


    A complete change of persona.


    ¡°Haha, the Phantom Spirit Garment is indeed powerful,¡± Fang Hai revealed a smile, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t watched you change with my own eyes, I could hardly imagine that you are actually Li Yuan.¡±


    Li Yuan was also quite amazed in his heart, ¡°Principal, this ¡®Phantom Spirit Garment¡¯ is so miraculous, perfectly merging into my flesh, making the aura of my life and soul completely turn into another person.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, it doesn¡¯t affect my use of a real protective Battle Garment.¡± Li Yuan thought again, activating the Star Garment.


    A layer of black Battle Garment emerged, completely enveloping Li Yuan and emitting an even more majestic aura.


    Normally, only one protective Battle Garment could be used, but Li Yuan was now using the Star Garment and the Phantom Spirit Garment together without any issue.


    ¡°The Phantom Spirit Garment looks like a Battle Garment, but at its core, it¡¯s actually an auxiliary treasure,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°This was specially obtained for you by the Alliance Hierarch not long ago. It can conceal your soul aura while emitting a different soul aura.¡±


    ¡°After all, there are quite a few Flying Heaven Level who have seen you, and if it were merely a disguise in appearance, it wouldn¡¯t mean much and could easily be distinguished,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Moreover, people like Yan Jing and Lin Yue who know the true identity of the Spirit Gun, have been repeatedly warned¡­ They won¡¯t leak your secret.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Actually, Top Grade Origin Martial Artists could quite easily change their appearance¡­ but for top-level powerhouses to conceal themselves was almost impossible.


    Why?


    Because of the soul aura!


    Flying Heaven powerhouses, sensed with Divine Sense, would naturally remember each other¡¯s soul aura.


    No matter how much the appearance changes, it is very difficult to conceal the soul.


    ¡°Li Yuan, with the Phantom Spirit Garment, you now have another identity¡ª¡±Spirit Gun,¡±¡± said Fang Hai.


    ¡°So, there¡¯s no need to worry about being exposed.¡±


    ¡°But remember, the Phantom Spirit Garment only conceals you up to the Semi Divine Level,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°If the enemy¡¯s spiritual power reaches the Semi Divine Level¡­ they may be able to discern your disguise.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    No treasure is invincible, and such auxiliary treasures naturally have a limit to their power.


    However, within the Mingxu Star Realm, there likely were no Semi Divine Level powerhouses, and even within the Seven Star Civilization, the chances of a Flying Heaven Level breaking through to the Semi Divine Level were low.


    As for a Flying Heaven Level having a Semi Divine Level soul? Almost impossible!


    ¡°Go ahead,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and said with a light sigh, ¡°You have an extremely strong ability to survive, but in this battle¡­ I don¡¯t expect you to win, just to cover the retreat of the various teams to the third and fourth bases, and ultimately hold these two strategic points. That would be a victory.¡±


    ¡°As for competing for the final treasure¡­ we must see what opportunities arise.¡±


    ¡°Remember, survival is the number one priority. If things are truly beyond salvage, then just retreat straight through the passage back to Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, feeling Fang Hai¡¯s expectation and a touch of worry for him.


    This was a side of Fang Hai that he rarely showed in the past.


    ¡°Compared to the Alliance Hierarch, the principal seems to have more of a human touch,¡± Li Yuan silently thought to himself.


    Whoosh! Li Yuan turned around and swiftly transformed into a beam of light, disappearing in the misty fine rain.


    Fang Hai, standing in the void, watched the direction in which Li Yuan had vanished, appearing somewhat lost in thought.

    Chapter 502: Chapter 299: Spirit Gun Has Arrived (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°Back then,¡±


    ¡°when I delved into the ¡®Nine Leaves Star Realm¡¯,¡± Fang Hai sighed silently, ¡°my teacher came to send me off, probably with the same feelings.¡±


    Fang Hai had not given Li Yuan specific guidance on cultivation.


    But he had indeed watched Li Yuan grow up every step of the way, and he was full of expectations for Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan merged with heaven and earth, his presence perfectly concealed by the Phantom Spirit Garment, speeding towards that War Fortress.


    ¡°Little brother, the leader of your civilization is indeed impressive, even managing to obtain ¡®Phantom Divine Garments¡¯ for many subordinates in the Dimensional River¡ªa thing many great powers struggle to do,¡± a voice like heavenly music rose in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Phantom Divine Garment?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    It was Gu You¡¯s voice.


    She was in the Ancient Divine Palace, yet she could sense the nearby area.


    ¡°In the Dimensional River, there are many treasures like this. Many strong individuals use similar items to conceal their identities when traveling outside,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmitted, ¡°The Phantom Spirit Garment you¡¯re using is the lowest grade in the Phantom Divine Garment series, meant for Demigods and those of lower status in the mortal world.¡±


    ¡°But being of low grade doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s cheap, because a higher grade one wouldn¡¯t be usable by you anyway.¡±


    ¡°What I find strange is,¡±


    ¡°The Phantom Spirit Garment on you is exactly the same as one I¡¯ve seen before, very much like those mass-produced treasures¡­ I wonder how Dongfang Ji got hold of it,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmitted.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was quite shocked.


    The same?


    If its function is similar, it¡¯s easy to understand¡­ but mass-produced, that significance is completely different, too coincidental.


    Was it something Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji got by accident, or could there be other possibilities?


    And thinking of the Martial God Inheritance.


    In any case, Gu You¡¯s casual remark sparked many conjectures in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Not long after.


    Li Yuan had already rushed to the War Fortress he had arrived at one and a half years ago¡­ but the entire base had completely changed in appearance.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m about to enter the Exterior Dimensional Star Realm, you should wait for me here,¡± Li Yuan transmitted.


    In the Exterior Dimensional Star Realm, the Ancient Divine Palace could come and go freely if carried by Li Yuan.


    Once it became ownerless, the Ancient Divine Palace would be suppressed again.


    This was one of the invisible rules of the Star Realm.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Little brother, I know you¡¯re your civilization¡¯s top genius, with your responsibilities¡­¡± Gu You¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°but I hope you also remember, you¡¯re all I have, little brother.¡±


    ¡°Sister has waited for you for ten thousand years, you must come back alive.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart warmed, and he smiled in response, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry, I will definitely come back alive. I will truly take control of the Ancient Divine Palace in the future.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, heading towards the War Fortress below that had gone through crazy expansion.


    Humm~ A nondescript speck of dust flew out, hovering in the kilometer-high sky.


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°This Seven Star Civilization might contain great secrets.¡±


    ¡°Previously trapped within the Fierce Feather Star Realm, unable to learn more, now I am finally free.¡± The girl with bare feet stood in the hall.


    Beneath her, stood hundreds of figures.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Delve into the entire Blue Star; I want to gather plenty of information on the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the girl spoke softly, ¡°At least, pave the way for Li Yuan¡¯s growth.¡±


    ¡°Understand his parent civilization.¡±


    ¡°If the top echelons of this civilization threaten Li Yuan in the future, we will be better prepared to respond.¡±


    ¡°Remember, don¡¯t reveal yourselves, just gather information for now,¡±


    ¡°Yes! War God!¡± the hundreds of figures responded in unison below.


    Li Yuan never knew that by taking the Ancient Divine Palace out, he had unleashed a monster¡­ There was a reason Gu You was revered by many as the War God.


    Back then, Gu You followed the Ancient Torch Divine¡¯s side, commanding many planets.


    Countless beings trembled under her iron fist and brutality.


    The true depth of the Ancient Divine Palace was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s imagination.


    ¡­


    Below, deep within the huge War Fortress.


    Several Flying Heaven Warriors had already received orders, waiting at the entry point of the Star Realm.


    When Li Yuan arrived, clad in a black Battle Garment exuding an extremely cold aura,


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, welcome,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors greeted warmly.


    They were curious about this legendary ¡®Prime Warrior¡¯ of civilization.


    ¡°Yun senior,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°don¡¯t waste time, the battle situation is urgent, better to open the passage and let me through at once.¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s our fault,¡± the leading Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun gave a bitter smile, turning his head and shouting immediately, ¡°Open the passage right now!¡±


    Rumble~


    The majestic metal door nearby creaked open, revealing the Star Realm entry point filled with ripples of light.


    This Star Realm entry point had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to when Li Yuan last saw it.


    Wider, and taller.


    At a glance, Li Yuan could see that both the width and the height must have exceeded 500 meters.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a ray of light, entering the ripple of light unobstructed.


    Quickly vanishing from the senses of the group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Such arrogance.¡±


    ¡°We are also Flying Heaven Warriors, greeted with a smile, and yet he reprimands us.¡±


    ¡°He really didn¡¯t give us any face,¡± the few Flying Heaven Warriors murmured quietly.


    ¡°Shut up,¡±


    the Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun frowned and reprimanded in a low voice, ¡°Spirit Gun is here to fight. Others have rushed here from Feixing, we stay in the rear without having to face the risk of death in battle, should we still speak ill of them?¡±


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors immediately fell silent.


    In terms of status, Flying Heaven Warrior Yun was the highest among them.


    ¡°Spirit Gun has arrived.¡±


    ¡°This is our civilization¡¯s last trump card,¡± Yun, the Flying Heaven Warrior, sighed lightly, ¡°Let¡¯s hope he can win, otherwise¡­¡±

    ¡­


    Not long after passing through the channel,


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the other end, at the ¡°Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s Number Three Outpost Base¡±.


    Of course, the name here had already changed to ¡°Bright Moon Base¡±.


    This was the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s main base in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Swoosh!


    As Li Yuan flew out from the entrance and into the high sky,


    he quickly found that, compared to just over a year ago, the whole base had undergone earth-shattering changes.


    The base had become extremely expansive, akin to a medium-sized city, and looked more like a super-large munitions factory, with numerous aircraft floating in the sky, their surfaces mostly streaming with light, signifying they could depart at any moment.


    The most eye-catching feature was the 200-meter diameter flying saucer fighter jet, floating in the sky above the center of the base.


    As Li Yuan arrived,


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Nearly ten figures flew out of a huge flying saucer fighter jet in the center of the base,


    flying directly towards him to meet him.


    That they could fly left no doubt that they were either Flying Heaven Warriors or True Intent Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve finally arrived.¡± There was a hint of joy on their faces, but among them, one person looked somewhat puzzled.


    Li Yuan was entirely clad in a black battle garment, his face completely obscured.


    ¡°Luo Chan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was icy as he called out to the black-clothed woman who was leading the group.


    It was Luo Chan!


    She was one of the three ¡°commanders¡± of the Bright Moon Base in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    However, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Luo Chan¡¯s face as a voice rang directly in her mind: ¡°Luo Chan, it¡¯s Li Yuan. I¡¯m just disguising my identity, don¡¯t be alarmed.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Luo Chan immediately communicated back, her Flying Heaven Level soul sensing the difference in Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura.


    In fact, she had already received the directive regarding ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± aware that the other party would be in disguise.


    Yet, Luo Chan never imagined the disguise would be so convincingly real.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, this is Tavares.¡±


    ¡°This is Luan Mu.¡±


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Luo Chan introduced each one to Li Yuan in turn.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors and True Intent Prime Warriors also curiously observed Li Yuan.


    ¡°This is Li Yang, who has just recently broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Luo Chan introduced the last large and sturdy man.


    ¡°Hello, Spirit Gun,¡± the robust man said with a smile, displaying considerable humility.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, maintaining a calm exterior.


    But in reality, Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with indescribable emotions.


    This robust man was none other than his college professor, ¡®Li Yang,¡¯ the former ¡®Deputy Dean¡¯ of the Sixth Institute at Kunlun Martial University.


    Just over a year ago, with Li Yuan¡¯s assistance, Li Yang had advanced his skills into Fifth Stage Perfection. Shortly after, he proceeded to Feixing for special training¡­ But Li Yuan had never imagined that Li Yang would end up choosing to break through in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    This choice,


    implied that Li Yang was likely to be trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm forever.


    Making such a choice required courage.


    But Li Yuan couldn¡¯t say much. To his knowledge, over twenty Prime Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization had broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Li Yang was merely one among these many people.


    Compared to the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Mingxu Star Realm was indeed far more valuable and significant.


    ¡°What about Yu Jinghe? Any news?¡± Li Yuan asked with a cold voice, raising the key question.


    Coldness was the persona he had established for Spirit Gun¡ªto keep interactions minimal and maintain his disguise more effectively.


    ¡°Still no news.¡±


    ¡°Since the 24th of August, when Yu Jinghe ventured alone into the ¡®Area 67¡¯ on the outskirts of Ming Mountain, there has been no message back. We can only confirm that he¡¯s still alive but impossible to contact,¡± Luo Chan said with a wry smile: ¡°Soon after, starting from the 27th of August, one of the Three Great Beast Emperors from Ming Mountain, the ¡®Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯, and its myriad Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts began a frenzied assault on us and the Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Our losses are heavy.¡±


    ¡°Many of the peripheral bases have been destroyed by Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    If not for Yu Jinghe going missing, with only a secret treasure confirming his survival, suspected to be trapped deep within Ming Mountain,


    perhaps the high echelons of the Seven Star Alliance would not have hurried to summon him.


    ¡°What about the other Flying Heaven Level forces?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over.


    Based on previous data, the entire Bright Moon Base should have had over twenty Flying Heaven Level forces.


    ¡°Wu Manong and the others are patrolling the periphery, covering for the many teams withdrawing back to the base.¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Patrolling?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Over the past year, the Seven Star Civilization had been delving deeper into the inquiry of the Mingxu Star Realm, gaining a deeper understanding of the Star Realm and even communicating with many Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After all, the wisdom of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts is extremely high, and once they have developed Divine Sense, they can easily communicate using Divine Sense, even if they don¡¯t share a common language¡­ Divine Sense is a method of communication more advanced than language.


    By now, the Seven Star Civilization had a rough understanding.


    There were three incredibly powerful Exotic Beast forces in the Mingxu Star Realm or around Ming Mountain.


    Each force was led by a mighty Beast Emperor: the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    So far, no strong member of the Seven Star Civilization had seen any of the Three Great Beast Emperors, and could only roughly guess that they were at least ¡®Flying Heaven Peak warriors¡¯.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors had never left Ming Mountain up to now.


    In fact, before Yu Jinghe and the others had ventured into Area 67 on the outskirts of Ming Mountain, although the Seven Star Civilization had progressively expanded and started conflicts with the local forces.


    There hadn¡¯t been a large-scale war yet.


    For the past year or so, the Seven Star and Tianliang Civilizations had been killing each other, with the Seven Star Civilization constantly avoiding a great war with the local forces¡­their expansion direction had also been away from Ming Mountain.


    Their goal had been to accumulate strength until they were strong enough, at least after driving out the Tianliang Civilization, to wage war against the many Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts of the local forces.


    Unexpectedly, a devastating strike came.


    Until now, the high-level officials of the Seven Star Civilization were not clear whether the local forces¡¯ sudden large-scale attack was related to the disappearance of Yu Jinghe.


    The recent great war also divided into two stages.


    The first stage was when hundreds of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts under the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor crazily attacked various forward outposts and small war bases established by the two civilizations, resulting in heavy casualties¡­ Many warriors and ordinary people in these bases fled.


    The second stage was many Flying Heaven Level forces from the two civilizations fighting against these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, preventing them from pursuing the many escaping warriors and ordinary people.


    The second stage of the war has continued up to the present.


    ¡°More than a dozen Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts also tried to attack Bright Moon Base before,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°Only, they were deterred by our Fourth-order Battleship.¡±


    ¡°We used the main cannons of the warship to kill two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts and severely injure the most powerful 33rd level Flying Heaven Exotic Beast,¡± Luo Chan pointed to a flying saucer-shaped warship in the distance.


    Li Yuan nodded lightly.


    A Fourth-order Battleship is the most powerful warship developed by the Seven Star Civilization to this date, usually the mount of a Demigod¡­ for instance, Fang Hai¡¯s ship was actually a Fourth-order Battleship.


    The main cannon of a Fourth-order Battleship is an extremely powerful Origin Power Weapon with astonishing might.


    In theory, a single shot could annihilate a Flying Heaven Peak fighter¡­ but that¡¯s just theory, and in reality, it¡¯s not easy to kill even an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior.


    First of all, there¡¯s the need to charge up!


    A long charge time is necessary, and any Flying Heaven Warrior who isn¡¯t a fool would flee early upon sensing the threat.


    Secondly, once a Flying Heaven Warrior gets close, it¡¯s easy for them to destroy many of the weapons on the outer layer of the warship.


    The key point is, there aren¡¯t many such warships throughout the whole Seven Star Civilization.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, a Fourth-order Battleship had been stationed in each of the four main war bases¡­ yet the first two bases were still overrun, and those two Fourth-order Battleships had to retreat, with one suffering tremendous damage.


    Bright Moon Base could hold its ground only by relying on a large number of Flying Heaven level forces, coupled with a Fourth-order Battleship.


    That¡¯s how they managed to fend off a large number of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts.


    A single Fourth-order Battleship on its own couldn¡¯t stop the onslaught of numerous Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, let alone take the offensive.


    ¡°How many people are out patrolling now?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Fourteen,¡± Luo Chan replied, ¡°We have a total of twenty-two Flying Heaven Level powers, and we rotate.¡±


    ¡°When others are not on patrol, they are responsible for defending Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°Because of a large number of Second Rank Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, there are too many targets in the sky, so we dare not deploy too many flyers.¡±


    ¡°Many people can only form small teams to flee along the ground.¡±


    ¡°Currently, there are tens of thousands of people on the road,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°Our main objective is to hold back the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts and try to kill some flying beasts.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    The sheer number of flying Exotic Beasts in the Mingxu Star Realm was the most terrifying thing and a nightmare for a large number of ordinary warriors and civilians.


    Before the local forces counterattacked.


    No one had imagined that Ming Mountain hid so many Second Rank Exotic Beasts and Flying Heaven warriors.


    Many of the peripheral bases, originally intended to be developed into breeding areas and serve as strongholds¡­ under the present all-out war, could only be evacuated.


    ¡°Set my authority to the highest,¡± Li Yuan declared.


    His gaze swept over the people: ¡°At the same time, notify me of any distress signals¡­ and synchronize the positions of the fourteen Flying Heaven Level warriors to me.¡±


    ¡°The main bases have been destroyed, but the message transmission devices there shouldn¡¯t be completely malfunctioning, right?¡±


    ¡°They haven¡¯t malfunctioned yet, but beyond ten thousand kilometers from Bright Moon Base, the signal is intermittent,¡± Luo Chan nodded.


    She quickly began to adjust the authorizations.


    Li Yuan also received the notice.


    ¡°Continue to stay here and follow your previous rotation plan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice cold, ¡°I will act alone and issue orders to you depending on the situation.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Luo Chan said.


    No one had any objections, and as the strongest among them, Spirit Gun naturally had the highest authority.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan shot into the sky, his speed continually soaring, quickly turning into a black streak of light heading towards the distant void.

    ¡°Such incredible speed.¡±


    ¡°His final speed must have exceeded five times the speed of sound.¡±


    ¡°So fast.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, really just a Prime Warrior?¡± Tavares, Li Yang, and this group of Flying Heaven-level warriors were all somewhat shocked.


    Even the few Flying Heaven Martial Artists present couldn¡¯t match Li Yuan¡¯s speed, just in terms of velocity.


    Before this, they had heard of the Spirit Gun, but in the videos promoted by Xia Country, real combat footage was very scarce.


    The people present had no direct understanding of Li Yuan¡¯s abilities.


    Only Luo Chan was relatively calm; she had personally witnessed Li Yuan in action and knew well how fearsome he was.


    However, she had a vague feeling that Li Yuan¡¯s strength had become even greater than it was during the great battle at Rob Sea.


    ¡­


    In the sky, two suns hung high; at the edge of the land, stood the towering Ming Mountain.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan was flying at an extremely low altitude at high speed.


    Occasionally, with his astonishing vision, he could spot some large battle scenes on the ground.


    Many exotic beast corpses, as well as¡­ human bodies, and occasionally many fallen wrecks of robots and warships could be seen.


    It was extremely brutal.


    ¡°Flying Serpent Valley.¡±


    Li Yuan was flying at an incredibly fast speed and soon arrived at the once-visited Flying Serpent Valley.


    It was now a ruin, no longer held by anyone.


    The many wreckages and bodies made Li Yuan¡¯s heart twinge with compassion, and his rage and killing intent grew stronger.


    ¡°According to the message, in the first round of frenzied attacks, they destroyed a large number of bases of ours and the Tianliang Civilization, and most of the local Flying Heaven-level exotic beasts then retreated,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now, it¡¯s mainly Second Rank exotic beasts cutting down the humans attempting to escape.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°First, escort all the humans who have scattered and escaped from the various bases back to the two major bases,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with killing intent. ¡°Then, try to destroy the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s bases¡­ Lastly, once everything is secure, head to Ming Mountain.¡±


    With Yu Jinghe disappearing, Li Yuan was quite anxious in his heart.


    But Li Yuan knew that now was not the time to be rash.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors of Ming Mountain were likely Flying Heaven Peak warriors¡­ Without absolute certainty, rashly entering the core area of Ming Mountain could easily lead to death.


    Ming Mountain was too mysterious.


    Before long, Li Yuan crossed the region of Flying Serpent Valley, about a thousand kilometers away from Bright Moon Base.


    ¡°Hmm? In that direction, 200 kilometers away, there¡¯s a distress signal.¡± Li Yuan was constantly sensing the messages on his smart ring, quickly determining the exact location.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan changed direction, his speed imperceptibly increasing even further and, not bothering to perfectly conceal his aura, he turned into a streak of light and dashed off.


    ¡­


    In the sprawling and undulating vast mountain ranges.


    There were densely packed figures, thousands in number, engaged in fierce combat.


    Among them were figures of human martial artists, as well as a considerable number of mechanical warrior figures.


    Of course, the most numerous were the exotic beasts; hordes of large First Rank exotic beasts, coming from all sides, were wildly attacking these human martial artists.


    These First Rank exotic beasts, each with four sturdy hooves and covered in scales and armor, were incredibly tough. Each one was as fast as lightning, furiously biting and tearing.


    Nearly a hundred human martial artists were desperately holding on.


    In terms of individual strength, these human martial artists far surpassed these exotic beasts, with plenty of fearless mechanical warriors assisting, but nevertheless¡­ there were just too many exotic beasts.


    They were innumerable, seemingly never-ending.


    However, the most ferocious fighters in the whole war were those four Second Rank powerhouses.


    ¡°Roar~~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± Three Second Rank exotic beasts, each over ten meters in length and swift and immensely strong, were fiercely attacking the central human Prime Warrior.

    Chapter 506: Chapter 301 Kill! Kill! Famous Throughout Blue Star (Extra 22)


    Over the past year and more.


    The Seven Star Civilization underestimated the native forces of Mingxu Star Realm and was occupying the upper hand in the great war with Tianliang Civilization.


    As a result, the Seven Star Civilization established dozens of common bases and hundreds of outposts in the peripheral regions.


    A scene of prosperity.


    However, when numerous Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts that had been hidden in Ming Mountain descended, it spelled disaster.


    Even with many of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven warriors mobilized immediately to fully contain the native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, they couldn¡¯t withstand the onslaught.


    Both sides suffered casualties, with Prime Warriors wielding True Intent falling, and human Flying Heaven Martial Artists perishing in battle.


    But a large number of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts also fell.


    However, the sheer number of native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, combined with masses of First Rank and Second Rank Exotic Beasts,


    from August 29th, under the orders of the highest command, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Martial Artists and civilians in various peripheral bases completely abandoned the expansion achievements of the past year and began a full-scale retreat.


    In actuality, it was a grand escape!


    ¡­


    Fortunately, perhaps the native forces of the Star Realm didn¡¯t wish to fight to the death, or perhaps the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s counterattack, especially the main cannon power of the Fourth-order Battleships, frightened those Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts.


    Together with the strong counterattack from Tianliang Civilization, which also suffered attacks.


    After the Seven Star Civilization began a full retreat, many native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts no longer pursued with relentless attacks.


    Except for a few Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, most have returned to Ming Mountain.


    But just this ¡®few¡¯ Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, plus a massive number of First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, still amount to a nightmare for the tens of thousands of retreating Seven Star human warriors.


    Many human Martial Artists were ambushed and killed, and numerous fleeing groups were decimated.


    People like Wu Manong, Luo Chan, An Yongya, Li Yang, and other stationed Flying Heaven powerhouses.


    While holding onto the last two war bases, they were also constantly patrolling day and night!


    They protected the retreating troops, trying their best to ensure they could safely withdraw to Bright Moon Base, or to another ¡®Ming Heart Base¡¯.


    They were fighting with all their might, yet the situation remained quite dire.


    Facing First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts, they could easily kill them.


    But when encountering Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, these human Flying Heaven warriors would find themselves in grave danger¡­ not just one had fallen.


    Therefore, these Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven warriors mostly patrolled in groups of three or even four.


    To rescue others, one must first ensure their own safety.


    ¡­


    Until August 30th.


    The second day the grand retreat plan commenced¡ªSpirit Gun finally arrived.


    This first Prime Warrior of the Seven Star Civilization, less than two months after the great war in Rob Sea Star Realm, once again revealed his terrifying battle power.


    Slay!


    Slay!


    His flying speed far surpassed other flying warriors, reaching an astonishing 1768 meters per second.


    He had no assistants, he was an army of one.


    His power was formidable, he charged unbridled, unconcerned with any possible ambushes.


    In just one day.


    Spirit Gun acted twenty-six times, directly aiding over ten thousand people¡­ the number of First and Second Rank Exotic Beasts he swept through and killed surpassed a hundred thousand.


    A powerful Domain.


    Once he arrived, he could swiftly annihilate hundreds or even thousands of Exotic Beasts with a single thought.


    Whether they were ordinary First Rank Exotic Beasts or powerful Second Rank top-tier Exotic Beasts, all were swept away.


    No one could stop him!


    ¡­


    When news of this battle made its way back to Xia Country, the entire country was shaken, and once again a large-scale publicity campaign was initiated.

    ¡°Incredibly powerful.¡±


    ¡°The first Prime Warrior of the civilization!!¡± The whole Xia Country, and even the entire Blue Star, were trembling, countless people were beyond excited.

    For in these past few days,


    continuous catastrophic news came from Mingxu Star Realm, one defeat after another, almost bewildering the military and Martial Artists of Xia Country and all nations of Blue Star.


    The horrific casualty numbers could make anyone¡¯s heart tremble.


    Now, with Spirit Gun¡¯s striking emergence, slaying in all directions, it offered countless people hope.


    At least, it offered hope that more people would survive and return.


    ¡­


    Inside Mingxu Star Realm.


    Perhaps it was Li Yuan¡¯s rampant slaughter, or perhaps the native Flying Heaven forces had long premeditated.


    Just as the clock struck August 31st, when Li Yuan once again saved a human team.


    He had not even had the chance to fly far away.


    Two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts suddenly appeared, and the battle of Flying Heaven powers erupted in an instant.


    On the ground.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, definitely core members of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s clan.¡±


    ¡°The one that broke our base was that black snake, it¡¯s definitely him.¡± The human Martial Artist team, who had just been rescued, were frantically fleeing across the wilderness, but they couldn¡¯t help but look towards the sky where the great battle was unfolding.


    They were a mix of excitement, nervousness, and concern.


    Yes! Spirit Gun was indeed powerful, but those were two extremely terrifying Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Could he win?


    ¡°Spirit Gun, you must win,¡± the human Martial Artists all silently prayed.


    ¡­


    Because it was less than 500 kilometers from Bright Moon Base.


    This battle, erupting in view, was precisely captured by a rescue air-space fighter that had come speeding in.


    The live footage was directly transmitted back to the command center at Bright Moon Base.


    Wu Manong, An Yongya, and others, who had returned to rotate off duty to the base, were watching this scene intently.


    ¡°That black snake is at least level 32, but its Star Techniques are too ordinary, it probably can¡¯t be considered mid-Flying Heaven level.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s at least extremely adept at speed, and also at poison.¡±


    ¡°It was part of the group that besieged Bright Moon Base before, I have fought against it.¡± These powerhouses watched the flickering, somewhat unstable screen projection with heavy tension.


    In the vacuum of space, Li Yuan, looking like a small black dot, was confronting the two massive Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents from a distance. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even though they were aware of the power of the Spirit Gun, such a battle still made these mighty martial artists¡¯ blood boil.


    Present at the scene.


    Even the strongest among them, Jiang Zai and Wu Manong, had no confidence in winning against any of the Flying Serpents in a one-on-one fight.


    ¡°The great battle has erupted.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s started!¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is using the Body Refining Star Technique, his speed has surged.¡± Everyone watched, holding their breath.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Unwilling to retreat? Then die,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold.


    He didn¡¯t really want to kill these two Flying Serpents.


    If he were alone, Li Yuan would not fear, but now he was rescuing others.


    From the action of many Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts retreating after destroying a great number of war bases and outposts, Li Yuan, or the high levels of the Seven Star Civilization, could infer that the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had no intention of waging a great war for the time being.


    Therefore, it would be best not to provoke the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor. If they enraged it now and the other side ordered a comprehensive counterattack, Li Yuan would be fine, but the tens of thousands of human martial artists who were still retreating would be in trouble.


    Li Yuan estimated that these two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents before him were likely to have a close relationship with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    Hence, Li Yuan only wanted to drive them away, to make them promise not to intercept human martial artists anymore.


    However, these two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents wouldn¡¯t listen at all and kept eyeing Li Yuan with hostile intent.


    Fully intent on killing Li Yuan.


    ¡°Then go to your death,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold; in these past two days, he had seen too many tragic states of humans, and his desire to kill was heavy.


    The opponents didn¡¯t know what was good for them.


    Therefore, Li Yuan didn¡¯t hold back anymore and directly unleashed his strongest combat power.


    In an instant, his entire being transformed into a five-meter tall figure, his body radiating a hazy divine light. Compared to the nearly hundred-meter-long Flying Serpents, he was no longer a mere speck, and the aura he emitted was even more majestic.


    Boom!


    After using the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan shot toward the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents like lightning.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The black Flying Serpent roared, opening its bloody maw wide and spewing out a terrifying black fog that spread rapidly in all directions, madly enveloping Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hiss~


    The other green Flying Serpent quickly manifested a great amount of water from its massive body, controlling the currents.


    Its enormous wings twisted and swept through the air, like two huge Wing Blades slashing frantically at Li Yuan.


    The two great Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents, although shocked by the terrifying aura the ¡®human Prime Warrior¡¯ had unleashed,


    being accustomed to living as overlords on Ming Mountain and as one of the Three Great Beast Emperor clans,


    were not daunted by their low insight. In their hearts, Second Rank life was absolutely inferior to Third Order life, so naturally, they were not afraid of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Give me.¡±


    ¡°Disperse!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, and he was roaring in his heart.


    In an instant, the vast earthy yellow and green streams combined and swept through, blocking the majority of the black fog outside of the domain.


    As for the remaining bit of poison fog? It couldn¡¯t affect Li Yuan at all, who was wearing the star garment.


    The protective battle garment shielded not just against direct physical attacks but also against toxins, spiritual attacks, and many other aspects.


    All-around protection.


    The protective battle garment forged by the Ancient Torch Divine specifically for his anticipated ¡®successor¡¯ at the Second Rank was naturally extraordinary.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s killing intent soared to the skies as he tightly gripped the Black Chen Spear in his hand, already having pierced through the terrible black fog and engaged in battle with the roaring green Flying Serpent.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± The dazzling and terrifying spear light fully erupted, its might so unrivaled that it easily blocked the attack of the green Flying Serpent.


    Following closely, the fearsome spear light swept across the vast sky, directly tearing through the layers of water currents stirred by the green Flying Serpent, and then it directly ripped apart the giant wings of its adversary.


    Countless droplets of blood splattered!!


    ¡°Aaah~~¡±


    The green Flying Serpent raised its head to the sky, letting out a pained roar as it struggled frantically, trying to escape.


    But Li Yuan had it firmly entwined.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The long spear thrust down, its dreadful power bursting forth, instantly leaving terrifying wounds on the body of the green Flying Serpent.


    ¡°In terms of strength, you two combined are not even a match for Wu Sihai who I have defeated,¡± Li Yuan had already realized this.


    In terms of life level, these two Flying Serpents were both at the 32nd level, comparable to Wu Sihai whom he had already slain.


    Their skills¡¯ comprehension was not weak either.


    But!!


    These two Flying Serpents hadn¡¯t deployed any Star Techniques, or maybe the Star Techniques they used were too weak, all subdued, preventing Li Yuan from perceiving them at all.


    ¡°It makes sense.¡±


    ¡°Being trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm for years without much inheritance, and considering that even Third Layer Star Techniques would at least require a powerful Demigod to have a chance of creating,¡± Li Yuan understood this point.


    Star Technique, in essence, was an explosive utilization of the mysteries of heaven and earth, integrated with the body¡¯s Star Meridian and Origin Power.


    It would be necessary to step into the threshold of the laws before having the hope of researching and creating Star Marks, thereby inventing Star Techniques.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    With the Black Chen Spear in hand, aside from not unleashing his Phantom Body, Li Yuan was absolutely putting his all into the attack, striking at his opponent with full force.


    ¡­


    This was undeniably a heart-stirring great battle, making Wu Manong, An Yongya, and the others considerably nervous.


    Especially when the two great Flying Serpents suddenly twisted and cooperated to envelop Li Yuan completely in the center and tried to constrict him, they were even more on edge.


    They worried that Li Yuan would be completely strangled to death.


    The constricting ability of snakes is indeed terrifying!


    But in the next moment.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Suddenly, with a terrible explosive sound, the head of the black Flying Serpent burst open, and a black figure soared into the sky, with snake brain tissue, fresh blood, bone fragments, and flesh scattering everywhere.


    Whew~


    The large body of the black Flying Serpent fell lifelessly towards the earth.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Another spear light tore through the vast sky like lightning, piercing into the already grievously injured eye socket of the green Flying Serpent, instantly breaking through the skull, which was shredded into pulp in an instant.


    The large body of the green Snake followed suit, falling powerlessly as well.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The two giant Flying Heaven-level Flying Serpents fell one after another onto the ground, instantly causing the earth to shake and crack, with countless terrifying airwaves surging in all directions.


    The two great Flying Heaven-level Flying Serpents, dead!!

    ¡°`


    ¡°[You have slain a Third Rank creature, obtaining Spiritual Nutrient].¡± A Divine Palace notification flashed by.


    Seeing this scene, the group of human warriors fleeing across the wilderness, as well as people like Wu Manong who were watching the battle through the war machine¡¯s projection, were all quite excited and thrilled.


    We¡¯ve won!


    The Spirit Spear, once again, proved its strength through action.


    A level 32 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast? They had all condensed the True Intent of heaven and earth; even without practicing any formidable Star Techniques, their strength far exceeded that of a normal True Intent Prime Warrior.


    However, facing the Spirit Spear, two against one, they were all quickly slain in an extremely short time.


    In the void, Li Yuan remained calm.


    If he wasn¡¯t worried about provoking a full-scale war and triggering the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to go on a frenzied killing spree against the fleeing human warriors, Li Yuan would have taken action long ago.


    After all, once a full-scale war erupted, with hundreds of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attacking, Li Yuan¡¯s strength, no matter how formidable, wouldn¡¯t be enough to protect all the fleeing humans.


    ¡°No choice.¡±


    ¡°If they seek death and refuse to retreat, then I can¡¯t hold back, I just hope it doesn¡¯t trigger a war for the time being¡±


    ¡°Wait until all fleeing warriors return to Bright Moon Base, Ming Heart Base.¡± Li Yuan mused in his mind, his eyes flickering with a murderous intent: ¡°Also wait until the ordinary warriors from the two bases have mostly retreated back to Xia Country, then I can take action without any reservations.¡±


    When killing those two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents, Li Yuan didn¡¯t even use his Phantom Body.


    Li Yuan, with the ¡®Shadow Domain¡¯ deployed, was in his strongest state, which was also why he had the confidence to battle the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Huff!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense swept over the corpses of the two large Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents below, thoroughly investigating them.


    ¡°Hmm? They actually have Storage Treasures? And their flesh and blood fused with body armor? No wonder they were so hard to kill.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, a trace of caution rising in his heart.


    From the Seven Star Civilization records, Li Yuan knew that creating Storage Treasures was extremely difficult; most Demigods couldn¡¯t do it¡­ Typically, Storage Treasures were mass-produced by divine beings.


    How could the native powerhouses of the Mingxu Star Realm possess Storage Magical Treasures?


    Li Yuan, with his powerful spiritual power, rapidly broke through the spiritual imprint on the surface of the Storage Treasure.


    He directly delved inside for a meticulous inquiry.


    All the items inside were left by the black Flying Serpents, not appearing to be remnants from fallen warriors of either the Seven Star or Tianliang Civilizations.


    ¡°These aren¡¯t standardized.¡±


    ¡°They also don¡¯t seem to be Storage Magical Treasures left by fallen warriors of our Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization.¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    Having this Storage Treasure and combining it with the information about the treasure in the depths of Ming Mountain that Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji had conveyed,


    Li Yuan suddenly had many speculations in his mind.


    ¡°First, continue the patrol.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure flickered, and he vanished into the distance as a streak of light.


    ¡­


    When the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents perished,


    Thousands of kilometers away, at the towering Ming Mountain that reached thousands of kilometers high, the mountain range stretched skyward, many valleys between the mountains spanning tens of kilometers wide¡­ If one looked up close, they would feel as if Ming Mountain was an endlessly extending Pillar of Heaven.


    Midway up Ming Mountain, there lie a broad lake, spanning tens of kilometers. On the small island in the center of the lake, a simple and ancient palace was built.


    Many gigantic Flying Serpents lived around the lake, with many exceeding eighty meters in length. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the Flying Serpent Clan, a length of over eighty meters typically signified reaching the Flying Heaven Level.


    Here was the dwelling place of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain, and the stronghold of the Flying Serpent royal clan.


    The palace interior was dark and damp, with each corridor exceptionally vast to allow free passage for the Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.


    Within a super-large hall deep in the palace, a huge crystal sphere hovered in the void.


    Within the crystal sphere, many purple dots flickered, densely packed and numbering in the hundreds.


    A massive black serpent, its body coiled, lay there with spread wings, silently resting.


    Suddenly!!


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The crystal sphere above burst out with dazzling red light, followed by waves of light surging outward in all directions.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± The black serpent quickly lifted its head, its cold, snake-like eyes flashing with shock.


    The next moment!


    Whoosh~


    The crystal sphere released countless rays of light, instantly forming a massive screen of light projection on the outside, which displayed the head of a green serpent.


    Atop the green serpent¡¯s head, there was a strikingly noticeable horn, as if piercing the skies.


    ¡°Your Majesty!¡± The black serpent lowered its head, bowing respectfully.


    The green serpent in the projection was none other than one of the three sovereigns of Ming Mountain¡ªthe Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Hei Guang, the Soul Crystal Ball just alerted me that Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu have died.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke with a deep voice: ¡°And it transmitted their final battle scenes before death.¡±


    Hum~


    The crystal sphere once again emitted light, forming another light screen projection, which revealed Li Yuan in battle against the two Flying Heaven Level Flying Serpents.


    The battle proceeded at an extremely fast pace.


    Soon, the projection ended.


    ¡°Such a formidable human.¡± The black serpent was quite shocked: ¡°Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu had both condensed the True Intent of Earth and Water and stepped into the mid-stage of Flying Heaven, yet they were killed so quickly by him?¡±


    ¡°His strength is likely comparable to a level 33, making him one of the strongest human warriors we have encountered so far.¡± The black serpent declared solemnly: ¡°Only that human warrior trapped in the ¡®Divine Land¡¯ can be compared to him.¡±


    ¡°In this war against human forces, how many Beast Kings have fallen?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke slowly.


    ¡°Reporting to Your Majesty, including Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu, a total of eight Flying Heaven Beast Kings have fallen.¡± The black serpent reported respectfully.


    Through the Soul Crystal Ball, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had a clear understanding of the casualties among his Flying Heaven Level subordinates.


    The Soul Crystal Ball is a very special treasure.


    It¡¯s somewhat similar to Gu You¡¯s ¡®Spiritual Lamp¡¯, although its sensing and inquiry range is far less than that of the Spiritual Lamp, it possesses other marvelous uses, allowing the departed to send back images of their last moments before death to the Soul Crystal Ball.

    ¡°`


    Thus, it was possible to understand the enemy¡¯s methods.


    ¡°The human who killed Hei Qing, Qing Yanyu, seems to be just a Prime Warrior, yet his potential is terrifying¡­ Pass on his information to other Beast Kings and try to avoid this human Martial Artist as much as possible,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor said.


    ¡°I am currently in the Divine Land with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, hunting down that human Martial Artist. I can¡¯t return for now, so don¡¯t provoke this newly emerged human Martial Artist,¡± the phantom formed by the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor spoke softly, ¡°Now that many of the human civilization¡¯s frontier bases have been destroyed¡­ Humans should not dare to approach Ming Mountain again.¡±


    ¡°Order all the Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts to stand guard on the periphery, and don¡¯t continue the ambushes,¡± he commanded.


    ¡°Wait for my return before we launch the decisive battle, and completely destroy their last base,¡± he added.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the Black Snake said respectfully.


    As the Beast King most trusted by the Beast Emperor, his position in Ming Mountain was extremely high.


    Likewise, he would unconditionally obey the commands of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Emperor!¡±


    ¡°The other Beast Kings are fine,¡± Black Snake continued with his head bowed, his voice deep, ¡°But Hei Jing is the blood brother of Prince Qing Sheng. I¡¯m afraid that in a fit of rage, Prince Qing Sheng might not listen to advice and attack recklessly for revenge.¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor frowned slightly.


    By nature, serpents were lustful, and as a Beast Emperor, he had countless offspring.


    However, the bloodline of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was not very strong. After many trials and opportunities, he finally broke through in the Divine Land and became a Beast Emperor.


    Most of his offspring remained at the First Rank, very few could break through to the Second Rank¡­ and in the end, only Qing Sheng stepped into the Third Rank, thus he was also deeply favored by him.


    His favoritism also cultivated the arrogant and domineering mentality of the ¡®Qing Sheng Beast King.¡¯


    In the past, the Mingxu Star Realm was just so big that no major disaster could be caused, and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor rarely managed his children.


    But now, the situation was clearly different.


    ¡°The Chi Yen Beast King is with him for his personal protection, right?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Correct,¡± Black Snake could not help but nod.


    Under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, there were Three Great Beast King leaders¡ªHei Guang, Chi Yen, Lei Hui.


    Each one of them was far stronger than the deceased Hei Jing Beast King and others. These Three Great Beast King leaders could even withstand the Beast Emperor for quite a while.


    ¡°Command Chi Yen to protect him carefully.¡±


    ¡°Without trials, how can one grow.¡±


    ¡°For Qing Sheng to reach your level, he must undergo more trials,¡± said the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor slowly, ¡°Just make sure to caution him and Chi Yen not to strike at the human¡¯s main city¡­ that Origin Power Weapon is likely the ¡®Fourth Rank Origin Power Weapon¡¯ mentioned in the Divine Land. Even I, facing it head-on, would only have a dead end.¡±


    A shock went through Hei Guang Beast King¡¯s heart¡ªwas its power really that great?


    But he did not doubt the words of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors, having explored the Divine Land for many years¡­ the many secrets they knew far surpassed those of the Beast Kings.


    ¡­


    About ten thousand kilometers away from Bright Moon Base, there was an even larger and quiet expansive lake.


    Boom!


    The once tranquil lake suddenly churned, followed by a green Flying Serpent, resembling a dragon, roaring out of the water.


    ¡°Roar~~¡±


    The Green Snake howled to the heavens, filled with unprecedented fury, and in his eyes flickered a trace of pain: ¡°Hei Jing! My brother!¡±


    He was the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s only Flying Heaven Level offspring¡ªthe Qing Sheng Beast King.


    Though he was extremely spoiled by the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Qing Sheng Beast King preferred not to stay at Ming Mountain. Instead, he moved to live freely in this large lake, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Ming Mountain.


    During the past hundred years or so, Hei Jing Beast King was his only brother and close friend.


    Now.


    His only brother was dead!!


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill! I will slaughter all these humans!¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King erupted in a series of low growls, and in his mind¡¯s eye, an image of a black silhouette holding a Long Spear flashed. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    According to Hei Guang Beast King¡¯s transmission, this human Martial Artist was the perpetrator.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± In a distant mountain peak, suddenly flames erupted violently, and a colossal figure, more than forty meters tall, entirely red, without a single hair on its body, and resembling a rock giant, stepped over the void and approached.


    Flames enveloped its body, and wherever it went, the lake water boiled tumultuously.


    ¡°Qing Sheng,¡± the rock giant¡¯s voice was majestic, ¡°Calm down. Your father has given orders, the forces behind these humans are beyond our imagination, their superhuman enemies far surpass your father, and the only reason they can¡¯t enter our world is due to the limitations of heaven and earth. Don¡¯t provoke them thoroughly.¡±


    ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, I can¡¯t bear it. I must kill him!!¡± The Qing Sheng Beast King, with his huge serpentine eyes blood-red, said, ¡°They¡¯re the invaders, they¡¯re the ones encroaching on our territory¡ªwhy should we endure?¡±


    ¡°Silly boy.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as right or wrong in this world¡ªthere is only the strong and the weak,¡± Chi Yen Beast King shook his head, ¡°Be patient. Once your father becomes a Demigod, he will naturally sweep them away.¡±


    In fact.


    Decades ago, the forces native to the Mingxu Star Realm had already noticed the existence of the Tianliang Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but the native forces had been enduring all this time.


    Only when the entrance to the Star Realm was upgraded and human Martial Artists sneaked into the Divine Land did the Seven Star Civilization and Tianliang Civilization begin their mad expansion and war, which finally made the native forces unable to remain idle.


    ¡°How many more years will it be until my father becomes the legendary Demigod? By then, this human will likely have returned to their world long ago,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King growled, ¡°If I don¡¯t kill him, I will not be content.¡±


    Suddenly, the Qing Sheng Beast King looked at Chi Yen Beast King, ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, help me.¡±


    ¡°Just kill this human, and I will stop,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King fixed his gaze on Chi Yen Beast King.


    Chi Yen Beast King sighed internally.

 Chapter 509: 302: The Beast Emperors Command! Level 37 Spiritual Power (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3

    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor often cultivated in the Divine Land and has always been mentoring the Qing Sheng Beast King¡­ Their relationship was extremely close.


    As for the Hei Jing Beast King? He too was considered his junior.


    ¡°Agreed,¡±


    ¡°The Beast Emperor only ordered us not to invade the human main city,¡± said Chi Yen Beast King, ¡°I will gather another group of Beast Kings¡­ specifically to ambush him.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s eyes lit up.


    He was well aware that even Hei Jing had died at the hands of that human Martial Artist; if he relied solely on himself, winning was impossible.


    But with Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s help, there was hope.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King remembered what his father had said before, that Chi Yen Beast King was the most likely in the entire world to become the fourth Beast Emperor.


    ¡°However, once this human is slain, you must return with me to Ming Mountain,¡± Chi Yen Beast King intoned deeply.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Very soon.


    Chi Yen Beast King left the lake and quickly went to summon other Flying Heaven Level Beast Kings.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan had always been at the Bright Moon Base, the central axis of the Bright Heart Base, patrolling an area of thousands of kilometers without a moment¡¯s rest.


    And top talents like Wu Manong, Tavares, and Luo Chan, because they needed to protect the base, were constantly taking turns to sortie.


    Their individual strengths might be far inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s.


    But they were highly efficient at killing ordinary first and second rank Exotic Beasts; and in terms of protecting the number of fleeing people, the total was far greater than that of Li Yuan.


    Even when facing Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, warriors like Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Luo Chan, when grouped in teams of three, could also easily handle many dangers.


    Li Yuan was indeed the strongest and saved the most people.


    But if it were only him alone, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save everyone.


    ¡­


    ¡°This war in the Mingxu Star Realm is a rare great battle for our Seven Star Alliance,¡±


    ¡°Powerful Flying Heaven Warriors cannot enter the Second Level Star Realm,¡±


    ¡°We rely on those who are willing to stay forever in the Star Realm, those who break through in the Star Realm. They disregard their own safety, risking their lives to contend with powerful Alien Races, with Li Yang, Mai Yi, Lei Meng¡­¡±


    ¡°Also stepping up are the peerless geniuses of our Seven Star Alliance. They are merely Prime Warriors, but their strength is capable of contending with Flying Heaven, including the number one Prime Warrior with a ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, from the Martial Divine Star Realm Yu Jinghe, Wu Manong, Luo Chan, Jiang Zai¡­¡±


    ¡°They are the heroes of our entire civilization,¡±


    The promotional video about the Mingxu Star Realm made by the Seven Star Alliance also caused the popularity and renown of this great group of powerful individuals to soar continuously across Blue Star and the Seven Great Planets.


    The large-scale war in the Mingxu Star Realm spread quickly not only across Blue Star but through the Seven Great Planets as well.


    Countless civilians were following this war.


    The Seven Star Alliance, a population of over a hundred billion.


    They might inhabit different planets, different countries, and might have some competition on normal days¡­ But the history of hundreds of years had taught everyone in the civilization.


    When facing foreign enemies, we must unite!


    ¡­


    September 3rd.


    After many days of continuous battles, most of the warriors who had escaped from war bases and frontier outposts had successively arrived at the Bright Moon Base, the Bright Heart Base.


    The ¡®Retreat Operation¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization was nearing its end.


    At the same time, the Tianliang Civilization, having been at a disadvantage in the early stages of the war, with an expansion range far smaller than the Seven Star Civilization¡­ thus, their great retreat had been basically completed.


    Tianliang Star.


    The sole main star of the Tianliang Civilization, much larger than Feixing, housed a population of hundreds of billions.


    In the highest conference room of a towering skyscraper, a multitude of people were bustling around.


    And at the end of the conference room, nearly ten presences exuding strong divine auras gathered.


    ¡°Most people inside the Mingxu Star Realm have already completely withdrawn and have begun to consolidate,¡± a blonde woman said coldly, ¡°The plan to leave only the necessary main combat force as the final defense has reached the point of decision on whether to continue fighting or to give up.¡±


    ¡°We have in fact already lost the battle with the Seven Star Civilization,¡±


    ¡°Even the Saint Heir Shefu, who broke through to Flying Heaven Realm, couldn¡¯t stop Yu Jinghe, how could we win?¡±


    ¡°Now, the indigenous forces within the Mingxu Star Realm are more powerful than we could have imagined,¡± the Demigods spoke in succession.


    Shefu was one of the Eighteen Saint Heirs of the Tianliang Civilization.


    He was originally a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    Later, with Yu Jinghe being too dominant, Shefu chose to break through to ¡®Flying Heaven Realm¡¯ in the Mingxu Star Realm, but he still lost to Yu Jinghe in combat and barely escaped with his life.

    ¡°Yu Jinghe is a major threat, but it will be very difficult for him to directly break through our main base,¡± said the blonde woman coldly, ¡°The greater threat comes from a new genius called Spirit Gun who has recently emerged in the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Just now, you all saw the promotions from the Seven Star Alliance; Spirit Gun is clearly stronger than Yu Jinghe,¡±


    This group of Tianliang Civilization Demigods all felt the pressure.


    One Yu Jinghe already suppressed a host of Prime Warrior Saint Heirs, and now there emerged an even more powerful Spirit Gun.


    ¡°Since everyone feels we can¡¯t win,¡± the blonde woman said coldly, ¡°let¡¯s accept the invitation from the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Summon Lu Lei and Rolbis,¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization is after all our mother civilization, letting them seize the treasures of Ming Mountain would be better than letting the Seven Star Civilization take them,¡± the blonde woman said.


    The group of Demigods pondered.


    The blood of the Myriad Demons Civilization flowed in all of them, and the Tianliang Civilization had always been subservient to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ but over the long years, they too had yearned for a Divine of their own civilization, who could sit on an equal footing with the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But reality had dealt them a hard blow.


    Soon after.


    The Tianliang Civilization officially extended an invitation to the Myriad Demons Civilization and detailed everything about the ¡®Ruins Star Civilization.¡¯

    Tianliang Civilization didn¡¯t have to wait too long.


    Soon after, the upper echelons of the Myriad Demons Civilization sent back a message, ¡°We are gathering Prime Warriors with talent and will arrive as quickly as possible.¡± S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Between Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization, there is an intercommunication through the Fourth Level Star Realm.


    ¡­


    The Seven Star Civilization naturally was not aware of the changes to the Star Realm¡¯s native forces, but some actions of the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization¡­ The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s intelligence system, however, had sensed something was amiss.


    It even directly obtained a lot of intelligence.


    Inside the Mingxu Star Realm.


    About three thousand kilometers away from the Bright Moon Base was a mountain peak, under layers of dense forests, atop a huge rock.


    Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the giant stone.


    As more and more fugitive Martial Artists returned to the two major bases, the frequency of Li Yuan¡¯s rescues also decreased, often taking several hours to receive a single distress message.


    Therefore, in his spare time, Li Yuan would continue his training.


    One battle after another.


    The more he saw, the more he experienced, the more he slaughtered, the greater the impact on Li Yuan.


    It was also constantly honing his mental willpower.


    ¡°Strong!¡±


    ¡°I must become stronger,¡± Li Yuan had a desire in his heart, ¡°If my strength were powerful enough, I could in one go ascend Ming Mountain and make those Three Great Beast Emperors beg for mercy.¡±


    ¡°I could also directly quell all conflicts within the Second Rank Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Allowing countless commoners and Martial Artists within the civilization to no longer suffer the horrors of war,¡± Li Yuan silently recited in his heart.


    At this moment, he was practicing the ¡°Visualization Method¡± like he had in the past.


    His consciousness gathered and entered the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, condensing into a conscious entity, which, through the Great Sun Jade Platform, endured the scorching of the solar blaze.


    Over the years, with the continuous strengthening of his spiritual power and willpower, each time Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method, his conscious entity got a bit closer to the sun, always striving to reach his own limit.


    Striving to temper himself with all his might.


    ¡°Pursuing the limit, never slacking in cultivation, so that if one day in the future I should fall in battle on this path, I will not regret it in my dying moments,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mental will became stronger and stronger through tempering.


    My heart has no regrets! This was one of Li Yuan¡¯s creeds.


    Suddenly.


    Whir~ As Li Yuan, who had repeatedly endured the intense blaze, suddenly experienced a fierce shaking of his spiritual fluctuations, sweeping in every direction¡­ his spiritual power had changed.


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has increased from level 36.9 to level 37.0]¡± A Divine Palace prompt flashed by.


    Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had been at level 36.9 for quite a while, repeatedly honing himself until the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Finally, he broke through this crucial bottleneck.


    He had reached level 37!


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has reached level 37, raising the limit of your Spiritual Awakening Level from 45% to 50%]¡±


    ¡°[You have slain a Third Rank creature, breaking the Divine Palace¡¯s shackles, raising your Spiritual Awakening limit to 60%]¡±


    ¡°[You have slain Third Rank creatures multiple times, accumulating a large amount of Spiritual Nature nourishment, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 50.1%]¡±


    ¡°[Your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 50%, you can receive the second Spiritual Guidance]¡± Four consecutive Divine Palace prompts directly flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s vision.


    They left Li Yuan completely dazed.


    The breakthrough in spiritual power, the Spiritual Awakening limit reaching 60%, he had anticipated this since the battle at the Rob Sea when he first killed a Flying Heaven Level Alien Race and was reminded.


    But!


    After the limit increased, his Spiritual Awakening Level soared directly from 45% to 50.1%?


    Directly initiating the second Spiritual Guidance? This!!


    Suddenly, Li Yuan remembered that every time he had killed a Third Rank creature before, there was a prompt about obtaining Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    ¡°Every time I kill a Third Rank creature, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace acquires Spiritual Nature nourishment, but it was restricted by my Spiritual Awakening limit, unable to immediately nourish me? Now that my spiritual power has broken through, all this accumulated Spiritual Nature nourishment has been released at once?¡± Li Yuan speculated in his heart.


    This guess was likely very close to the truth.


    ¡°Spiritual Guidance?¡± Li Yuan harbored a hint of anticipation in his heart, ¡°The first Spiritual Guidance allowed me to awaken the first Perfect Star Vein, what about the second Spiritual Guidance?¡±


    Li Yuan was already vaguely sensing a change within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, with a peculiar force hidden on the second floor of the Divine Palace, ready to erupt at any moment.


    However.


    Li Yuan was not in a hurry, as he was suppressing this force.


    Because the process of Spiritual Guidance would take a long time, and the current situation was not very appropriate.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡°In another day or two, all evacuations should be over,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Then I¡¯ll return to the Bright Moon Base for quiet cultivation and complete the Spiritual Guidance.¡±


    Li Yuan strove to calm his inner heart.


    After more than ten minutes.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan suddenly noticed a vibration on his smart ring and glanced down, ¡°A distress call?¡±


    ¡°This direction, 1300 kilometers? Let¡¯s go!¡± Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.


    Meanwhile, on the map display, another dazzling green dot was also rapidly approaching.


    This dot was not moving as fast as Li Yuan, but it was closer to the destination than Li Yuan.

    Chapter 511: Chapter 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan transformed into a streak of light and dashed across the sky and earth, while simultaneously monitoring the information changing on the smart bracelet.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Wu Manong, and Teacher Li Yang, Lei Meng,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°One True Intent Prime Warrior, two Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    The ones rushing over included not only him but also a Flying Heaven Level team.


    According to regulations, aside from Li Yuan alone, other rescue teams should consist of three Flying Heaven Level warriors to provide mutual assistance.


    ¡°My flight speed is faster than Teacher Li Yang¡¯s, but they¡¯re less than 700 kilometers away. By the time I get there, the battle will likely be over,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Although he thought as much, Li Yuan¡¯s speed did not slow down in the slightest.


    Despite no encounters with Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts in the past few days, Li Yuan remained ever vigilant.


    War brooks no jokes!


    Only the bravest, who are also the most cautious and treat every seemingly ordinary battle as the most crucial one, have the hope of surviving to the end.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan approached at extreme speed.


    ¡­


    Hundreds of kilometers away from Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three streaks of light were also flying at high speed¡ªWu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng were in motion.


    Among the three, Wu Manong was a Prime Warrior, but he was actually the strongest.


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is making his way here at full speed,¡± Wu Manong spoke in a deep tone, ¡°We have to do our best too. We can¡¯t let the Spirit Gun handle everything alone.¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Lei Meng nodded.


    ¡°After all, we are Flying Heaven Warriors too,¡± Li Yang said with a smile.


    After several days of battle, they had all come to deeply admire the Spirit Gun.


    Combat rescue 24 hours a day without a hint of slack, how could they not be admired?


    Similarly, with such a strong fighter at the forefront, it also motivated them to invest themselves wholeheartedly into battle.


    Full-force rescue.


    ¡­


    On a vast and desolate plain, a large group of fleeing human warriors were being violently besieged by numerous flying exotic beasts.


    Each and every flying exotic beast was at least of Level 18, and many were Second Rank Exotic Beasts.


    Each one spread its wings, shading the sky and covering the sun.


    The two sides were engaged in fierce combat, trees were knocked down one after another, the earth trembled, and giant rocks flew chaotically.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve called for help.¡±


    ¡°Everyone hold on, we¡¯re already very close to Bright Moon Base, Flying Heaven Warriors are rushing to our aid at full speed,¡± the lead warrior clad in silver battle garment shouted urgently, ¡°As long as we can hold out for ten minutes, help will arrive.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A slash of the knife, and the burly man severed a claw of a flying exotic beast.


    As the strongest among the group of fleeing warriors, a Level 28 Prime Warrior, he was incredibly powerful.


    But no matter how strong, he still couldn¡¯t fly and couldn¡¯t protect everyone.


    ¡°Puchi~¡±


    A flying exotic beast plunged violently from the sky, its terrifying claws crushing a Level 19 warrior¡¯s head like a watermelon¡­ Many human warriors were killed.


    In such a brutal fight for survival, even a single minute seemed like an eternity, let alone ten.


    ¡­


    The human warriors engaged in the fierce battle on the plain were unaware that beneath them, deep within the ground.


    A terrifying force was lurking. Many powerful Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts were hidden there.


    ¡°The human warriors have called for help.¡±


    ¡°Yu Wu, instruct your subordinates to slow down the slaughter,¡± one communicated through Divine Sense. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Yes! If they¡¯re killed too quickly, the human Flying Heaven Warriors might not come,¡± the Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts exchanged thoughts through Divine Sense.


    And among this large group of Flying Heaven Level exotic beasts, the leader was the enormous green Flying Serpent¡ªQing Sheng Beast King.


    He was lying flat in a dark river hundreds of meters below ground, letting the river water wash over his body.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s eyes gleamed red, filled with a murderous intent.


    These past few days, his only desire was to kill the enemy and avenge his brother Hei Jing Beast King; he had been waiting for the opportunity.


    Finally, he received communication from the Chi Yen Beast King, who had summoned a large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    He immediately took action.


    ¡°I wonder which Flying Heaven Warrior is coming.¡±


    ¡°I hope it¡¯s the Long Spear Warrior, it must be!¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King chanted in his heart.


    Their chosen ambush location was an area frequently visited by the Long Spear human warrior, as gathered from intelligence.


    Time ticked by, second by second.


    The battle on the plain gradually neared its end. The human warriors fought resiliently, suffering heavy casualties, but also inflicted astonishing damage on the group of flying exotic beasts.


    Especially that Level 28 Prime Warrior, who in the heat of combat successively killed two Second Rank flying exotic beasts.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three terrifying streaks of light soared through the high sky, especially one fiery streak, which was the most fearsome. As it approached, countless flames spontaneously erupted in the void.


    The True Meaning of Fire! Domain!


    It swept away everything.


    Puchi~! Putch~! The flying exotic beasts, in utter terror, tried to flee, but facing an enraged Wu Manong, where could they run to? In an instant confrontation, Wu Manong slaughtered most of them.


    The few Second Rank flying exotic beasts, possessing great Origin Power, could not be suppressed by the Domain alone¡­ but facing three Flying Heaven Level warriors, they had no chance to resist.


    In the blink of an eye, the initially frighteningly numerous and fearsome hundreds of flying exotic beasts were completely swept away.


    This is the power of the Flying Heaven Level!


    Especially after mastering the Domain of True Intent, slaughtering First Rank and Second Rank lives was an absolute rout.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°So powerful.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re saved.¡± The silver-armored burly man and the dozen or so surviving human warriors had looks of excitement and felt a wave of relief wash over them.

    Chapter 512: Chapter 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_2


    I survived.


    ¡°You guys continue¡­¡± A curly-haired, skinny Lei Meng was looking down, about to speak when suddenly he seemed to sense something, his face dramatically changing, ¡°Run!¡±


    It wasn¡¯t just him!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Wu Manong and Li Yang were both extraordinary in strength. At that moment, the terrifying bursts of Origin Power from deep underground caused their faces to dramatically change.


    The next second, the three powerhouses soared into the sky, lightning-fast, away from the ground.


    The anomaly happened too quickly, and those terrifying bursts of Origin Power even frightened all three of them.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, a terrifyingly huge stone hand burning with flame suddenly tore through the earth, and immediately after, an imposing and boundless figure burst forth from the ground.


    Boom!


    Splutter! Splutter! Endless flames swept in all directions, instantly enveloping hundreds of meters around, and those human Martial Artists who had just thought they were saved, including a powerful Prime Warrior, were consumed by the roaring flames, their bodies instantly burnt to nothing.


    In a single thought, all were dead!


    The powerful Origin Power triggered the Domain Star Technique, combined with the comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire, making this move terrifyingly effective.


    Even an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, if struck by this move, would suffer severe injuries.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Apart from the appearance of the Chi Yen Beast King, almost in an instant, various Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts emitting terrifying auras burst forth from the earth within a radius of more than ten kilometers.


    Some were Flying Serpents, some were covered in feathers and scales like golden eagles, and others took the form of walking beasts, each suspended in the void.


    A total of thirteen Flying Heaven level Exotic Beasts vaguely formed a huge encirclement.


    They trapped Li Yang, Lei Meng, and Wu Manong, who had just flown into the void, within it.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s an ambush! They¡¯re here to specifically target us?¡± Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng were somewhat stupefied, feeling the surging aura emitted by the large group of Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts around them, involuntarily experiencing a hint of fear in their hearts.


    Especially that flame giant, whose imposing aura was truly terrifying.


    The three of them understood instantly.


    They were not on the same level of strength at all.


    ¡°It¡¯s the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, suspected to be a level 34 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast, as mentioned in the intelligence,¡± Wu Manong had already made a judgment.


    ¡°We can¡¯t hold them off.¡±


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Though it sounds slow, it all happened in an instant.


    Wu Manong, Li Yang, and Lei Meng leaped away to escape, not bothering to mourn for the dead human warriors, fleeing without pause, transforming into three beams of light, each darting off in different directions.


    The enemy was too strong, beyond their match.


    If they stayed together, they would only be wiped out in one fell swoop.


    While fleeing for their lives, the three powerhouses also sent out calls for help. In their hearts, there was still a ray of hope¡ªthe Spirit Gun!


    According to the location indicator, the Spirit Gun was very close to them, at most twenty seconds away.


    ¡°Human Martial Artists!¡±


    ¡°Take action, kill.¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s voice was profound, issuing the order while his massive body moved with incredible agility, like a huge meteor of flame, directly charging at Wu Manong.


    He had been observing just now.


    A Prime Warrior with True Intent Comprehension? Naturally, he was his first target, of far greater value than the other two ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill! Kill them all.¡± The other Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, having burst from the ground, also rushed towards Li Yang and Lei Meng with lightning speed.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    The gigantic blue Flying Serpent was the most murderous, its eyes fixed on Li Yang who was cutting through the Vast Sky, his body shimmering with light, ¡°Haven¡¯t waited for the Long Spear Warrior, then I¡¯ll kill you first, to collect some interest.¡±


    ¡­The Chi Yen Beast King was too fast.


    He effortlessly broke five times the speed of sound, taking only three seconds to reach Wu Manong, his fiery giant palm ferociously striking down: ¡°I didn¡¯t want to start a war with your human civilization, but you¡¯re too greedy. This is our home turf.¡±


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    Wu Manong, this unparalleled genius from the Seven Star Civilization.


    In a life or death moment, he unleashed astonishing potential. His body grew in an instant, deploying the Body Refining Star Technique he had recently mastered, transforming into a height of three meters, followed by holding a giant shield in each hand.


    With all his might, he channeled the Mysteries of True Intent! Origin Power!


    All of it concentrated on the shields that had been his main weapon for a long time.


    The fiery giant palm, blotting out the sky like a huge mountain, ferociously struck down.


    The two giant shields, however, aimed to block every attack.


    The two collided in an instant.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The explosion was like the sky and earth splitting, the surrounding air vibrating and bursting. Crimson blood was seen floating in the air, staining the sky!


    The Chi Yen giant felt as if he had smacked his palm against two hard pebbles, aching intensely.


    And Wu Manong had been sent flying backward, the terrible force passing through his Combat Armor and hitting his entire body, almost tearing his Divine Body apart, which started to crack all over.


    He had almost turned into a blood man!


    Just one exchange and Wu Manong was gravely injured. He had already taken the Origin Purple Longevity Pill, but the effects needed time to take effect, and the pace of this level of battle was far too swift.


    ¡°Second Rank Life.¡±


    ¡°To withstand my strike without dying, worthy of being from a powerful civilization beyond this world. You must be one of the topmost Second Rank Lives among your people,¡± Chi Yen Beast King spoke deeply, and as he did so, his other giant palm also thunderously came crashing down.


    Boom!


    With the burst of speed, a river of fire rushed forward, sharply compressing the air, causing a series of terrifying sonic booms, bearing down on Wu Manong.


    There was no escape.


    In terms of Skill Realm, Chi Yen Beast King was not inferior to Wu Manong, both coming exceedingly close to the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank.

 Chapter 513: 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_3

    Chapter 513: Chapter 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_3


    In terms of Star Techniques, Wu Manong actually had a slight advantage.


    The key lay in the foundation, with 29.9 and 34 levels, the gap was simply too large, something that Sixth Layer Star Techniques couldn¡¯t make up for.


    ¡°I can¡¯t die!!¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t die!¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t become a Flying Heaven Warrior yet, let alone a Demigod, how can I die here!!¡± Wu Manong roared in his heart. At this moment, his survival instinct was fully triggered.


    In the throes of life and death, countless insights into the Mystery of Fire that he had collected over time rushed to the forefront of his mind.


    They burst forth completely.


    Wu Manong knew that if he couldn¡¯t withstand it, he would die.


    ¡°Boom!!!¡±


    Wu Manong¡¯s skin suddenly erupted with dazzling flames and glows of light, and around him, the void manifested threads of flames so powerful that even the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s Flame Domain momentarily receded.


    At that moment, Wu Manong¡¯s aura leaped forward dramatically, surging to an astonishing level.


    Wu Manong moved his shields like lightning and shifted them in front of him.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    Another terrifying collision, Wu Manong was once again sent flying backward, fresh blood spurting from his mouth.


    ¡°He¡¯s not dead!¡±


    ¡°Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank technique? Did he make a breakthrough?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King instantly noticed the change in Wu Manong¡¯s aura, as well as that terror-inspiring, burning flame power.


    A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.


    Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank meant Intermediate Rank True Intent. It represented a new level of comprehension of the True Meaning of Fire¡­ Such a level of comprehension was already at the peak level of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Once a technique reached such a stage, given enough time, one could cultivate to Level 35 unimpeded.


    For someone like the Chi Yen Beast King, who had cultivated for over two hundred years and still hadn¡¯t fully taken this step,


    Once he did, he would become the fourth Beast Emperor of Ming Mountain. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And now, a Second Rank Life had made the breakthrough? How could he not be envious?


    ¡°Breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°Even if you¡¯ve broken through, you will still die!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s killing intent became even stronger. Stepping across the vast sky, he charged toward Wu Manong again, and with his palms coming together, he attempted to crush Wu Manong completely like swatting a mosquito.


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡±


    The terrible roaring explosions and the surging flames¡­ In the deadly confrontation, Wu Manong, who had just made a breakthrough, exerted all his strength to withstand the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s six strikes.


    Each strike made his injuries worse, and the Origin Violet Longevity Pill couldn¡¯t heal him that quickly.


    His breakthrough in the Mysteries of True Intent had raised his overall strength from the original Level 31 to Level 32¡­ If he had made this breakthrough before the battle, he would have had a chance to withstand more than a hundred moves against the Level 34 Chi Yen Beast King.


    He definitely could have lasted until Li Yuan arrived.


    After all, the Chi Yen Beast King specialized in only one Domain Star Technique and compared to a true Level 34 Flying Heaven Warrior, his overall strength was significantly inferior.


    Only,


    In the confrontation before the breakthrough, Wu Manong was already gravely injured, which doomed him to have no further chance.


    ¡°Drag it out!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve delayed this long, Li Yang and Lei Meng¡¯s chances of survival are higher, and the Spirit Gun should be arriving soon.¡± Wu Manong was still struggling to hold back, once again blocking the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s attack. One of his shields was knocked away, and his arm was shattered, blood spurting uncontrollably, his consciousness growing dim.


    Boom!


    Another palm strike came.


    Inside, Wu Manong had already found peace: ¡°I thought I would become a Demigod in the future, renowned across the Seven Stars. It¡¯s a pity.¡±


    ¡°Even after a breakthrough, I¡¯m going to die.¡±


    In the midst of battle, he fought with all his might for that slim chance of survival.


    When death was imminent, Wu Manong was completely calm.


    Having battled the Alien Race many times, and in this great war of the Mingxu Star Realm, not just one companion had died in battle, Wu Manong was long prepared for death, a smile even appearing at the corner of his mouth: ¡°Old Yu, you were at Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank comprehension before, even scoffing at me¡­ Haha, just before dying, I seem to have caught up to you, didn¡¯t fall too far behind, right?¡±


    Boom!


    The fiery giant palm fiercely smashed down, and the terrifying surge of flames instantly tore Wu Manong¡¯s body apart.


    Wu Manong, dead in combat.


    ¡°Truly tenacious.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior, with a technique comprehension that could reach the level of a Beast Emperor.¡±


    ¡°If he had advanced to Flying Heaven Level earlier, I would not have been able to kill him,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King shook his head, thinking: ¡°It¡¯s a pity, these super geniuses from the Foreign Domains, fearing being trapped forever in our realm, are not willing to let their Life Levels break through. When it comes to life and death, a breakthrough is then impossible.¡±


    To break through from a Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven Level took at least two to three days.


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King waved his hand, collecting the many items Wu Manong left behind.


    ¡°Wu Manong is dead?¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡± Li Yang and Lei Meng were not facing enemies that were extremely powerful.


    And as Flying Heaven Warriors, they were more robust, still desperately struggling.


    When they sensed Wu Manong¡¯s breakthrough, both were slightly exhilarated.


    But when they saw Wu Manong killed in battle, both of their hearts trembled¡­ A genius Prime Warrior who had broken through to Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank technique, just like that, dead in battle.


    This is war.


    If you choose to slaughter the Alien Race, then you must also be prepared to be killed by the Alien Race.


    ¡­The Chi Yen Beast King strode through the void, with overwhelming flames engulfing it, ready to kill the still desperately fleeing Li Yang, Lei Meng.


    Suddenly.


    The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s enormous eyes narrowed: ¡°A man in black with a long spear? He¡¯s arrived so quickly.¡±


    Boom!


    In the void nearly ten kilometers away, a figure in black battle garment, holding a long spear and radiating yellow light, appeared.


    He was rushing at full speed.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes reddened slightly, killing intent soaring.


    He was already rushing at full speed.


    When he learned that Wu Manong and Li Yang had been attacked, he spared no effort to unleash the Great Earth Divine Body¡­ Using the Divine Body increased his flying speed slightly, disproportionate to the Origin Power consumed.

 Chapter 514: 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_4

    Chapter 514: Chapter 303: Tragic! The Death of Wu Manong (Extra 23, 24)_4


    At that moment, Li Yuan could not care less about the massive consumption of Origin Power.


    However, Li Yuan had not yet reached the battlefield when he saw Wu Manong being torn apart by that palm strike from afar.


    Subconsciously,


    Li Yuan clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on the long spear in his hand, his heart filled with even more rage.


    Wu Manong, Li Yuan did not have much interaction with him, but he vividly remembered the scene of their first meeting in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    This was a somewhat proud guy.


    His personality was not exactly likable. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But, in every interdimensional war of the Second Level Star Realm, from the many battles in the Rob Sea that Li Yuan knew of, to the Fierce Feather Star Realm, then to the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ Wu Manong always charged into the front lines.


    Today, he died.


    ¡°Another one is dead,¡± Li Yuan gritted his teeth.


    In the great war of the Mingxu Star Realm, Wu Manong was not the first top-tier powerhouse to fall.


    And he likely wasn¡¯t the last.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan had no time for sorrow, his speed soaring to the extreme, already surpassing five times the speed of sound, and he howled as he charged at the group of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts surrounding Li Yang.


    Wu Manong had already fallen in battle, and Li Yuan would not allow Teacher Li Yang to die before his eyes.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yang held a long spear, fleeing while desperately defending against the attacks of as many as six Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    In just a short time, he had already sustained serious injuries.


    ¡°Qing Sheng!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that extremely strong human Martial Artist, the Beast Emperor gave an order,¡± the group of Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attacking Li Yang also saw Li Yuan charging in.


    At that time, the Chi Yen Beast King had not arrived yet.


    ¡°You three, go kill him,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King sent a telepathic message, ¡°Don¡¯t engage him head-on, just entangle him for a moment, and the Chi Yen Beast King will arrive. He¡¯s only a Second Rank Life.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Three Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts immediately abandoned Li Yang, soaring as they lunged toward Li Yuan.


    They all knew of Li Yuan¡¯s combat achievements; in fact, Hei Jing Beast King and Qing Yanyu Beast King were among the strongest within their Beast Emperor¡¯s forces.


    However, in the eyes of these Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts, since Li Yuan took quite some time to kill Hei Jing Beast King, it suggested that he wasn¡¯t much more powerful.


    They thought that working together, just to hold him off for a moment, would be somewhat manageable.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s rage was sky-high, murderous intent swirling in his eyes as he looked at the three Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts attempting to block his way, and without any hesitation, he unleashed his strongest power.


    Boom!!


    Earth and Wind Domain combined! Streams of air containing terrifying power were born, enveloping a hundred-meter radius, sweeping in all directions.


    Flying Heaven Martial Artists¡¯ Origin Power can leave the body and, combined with their Domain, can extend hundreds of meters, with some Domain Star Techniques even over a kilometer¡­ Li Yuan was not capable of that.


    His Domain was purely drawing on the power of heaven and earth.


    But with the combination of two True Intents, and insights close to the level of a Demigod¡­ the power he drew forth in his Domain was immensely terrifying!


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The four-legged Exotic Beast, facing Li Yuan, barely touched the range of his Domain when it felt the overwhelming power of those streams of air, which shattered its Origin Power Domain on contact.


    With astonishing binding force, it dramatically slowed its speed.


    The power of both Domains was not even on the same level.


    ¡°This is bad.¡± The four-legged Exotic Beast had just moved, attempting to pounce on Li Yuan.


    Swish!


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Within this domain of over a hundred meters in diameter, the real Li Yuan instantly reflected the creation of six Li Yuans¡ªSix Paths Illusionary Body!


    Sparing no time or effort, a murderous Li Yuan burst forth with all his might right from the start.


    ¡°Kill!¡± All six Li Yuans shouted in unison, as six dazzling Spear Lights cut through the vast sky.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    This four-legged Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beast barely managed to block four Spear Lights when it felt another eerie Long Spear piercing right through its solid layer of Origin Power, skin, and directly through its skull.


    Dead!


    A mere level 31 Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beast, with hardly any Star Techniques, stood no chance against Li Yuan¡¯s all-out assault with the Black Chen Spear.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡± The other two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts that were just about to join the fray panicked at the sight.


    It was too frightening.


    This human Martial Artist was more than ten times more terrifying than described in the Beast Emperor¡¯s orders.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Li Yuan was incredibly fast, his Domain crushing layer by layer, his six Phantom Bodies flickering and switching places, already upon these two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts.


    Fast! Too fast!


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Spear Light slashed through the sky, and in just one confrontation, the bodies of the other two Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts were violently torn apart, their blood sprayed across the sky.


    ¡°[You have killed a Third Rank creature, Spiritual Awakening Level has increased to 50.2%]

 Chapter 515: 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum

    Chapter 515: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum


    In the blink of an eye, three Sky-Flying Level Exotic Beasts died in battle.


    Such a scene had completely terrified the group of their Beast Kings, Li Yuan¡¯s strength surpassed their imagination, far exceeding what the Beast Emperor¡¯s intelligence had indicated.


    ¡°How can he be so strong?¡± Qing Sheng Beast King couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Can a Second Rank Life be this powerful?¡±


    These Beast Kings dared to fight Li Yuan.


    One of the most important reasons was that they believed a Second Rank Life ultimately had a limit to its strength.


    After all, the fundamentals were there.


    Not just these Beast Kings, Li Yang and Lei Meng, who had been devoting a fraction of their attention to Li Yuan, were equally shocked and exhilarated.


    ¡°This Spirit Gun, Phantom Body techniques are truly heaven-defying; the Six Paths Illusionary Body is intertwined, making it impossible to discern the true body.¡± Li Yang was shocked in his heart, ¡°And his Spear Technique is also strong, one spear thrust and the sturdiest skull of a Sky-Flying Level Exotic Beast can¡¯t even withstand it? It¡¯s directly killed?¡±


    Normally, a Sky-Flying Level Life has an Origin Pill and a strong vitality, and if protected by a Third Rank Battle Garment, even a Peak Sky-Flying strong warrior may not be able to kill a Level 30 Sky-Flying in one move.

    ¡°Watching the battle images from Rob Sea before, I felt that the might of the Spirit Gun¡¯s Spear Technique wasn¡¯t so terrifying.¡± Lei Meng, who was frantically struggling to escape, was also surprised in his heart, ¡°Can a Prime Warrior be this strong as well?¡±


    This shattered Lei Meng¡¯s understanding, even Yu Jinghe was far from this level of strength.


    Did the Spirit Gun hide his strength during the great battle in Rob Sea?


    Or is it that in less than two months, the Spirit Gun¡¯s strength has advanced by leaps and bounds?


    They did not know.


    If Li Yuan were an ordinary Prime Warrior, even if his Skill Realm was so exquisite and his Spear Technique so powerful, it would not be this terrifying.


    But Li Yuan combined three Star Techniques, especially after cultivating the Great Earth Divine Body, his fundamentals truly rivaled those of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    And he has the Black Chen Spear!


    In many aspects such as weapons, techniques and others, Li Yuan was stronger than most of the Peak Sky-Flying strong warriors¡­ It was only with the addition of Star Techniques to his fundamentals that he could unleash such formidable power.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s intent to kill soared to the heavens.


    After sweeping through the three major Sky-Flying Exotic Beasts, he turned into a streak of lightning and pounced towards Qing Sheng Beast King and the others.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    ¡°Escape~¡± Filled with terror, Qing Sheng Beast King and the other two desperately fled backward.


    No one wanted to test Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Light.


    Especially Qing Sheng Beast King, he had so fervently desired to kill Li Yuan just moments ago, and now, he was fleeing even faster; a hazy layer of green light suddenly appeared around him, making his speed skyrocket, far surpassing the other two Beast Kings.


    Flying Escape Star Technique!


    With the retreat of these three major Beast Kings, Li Yang¡¯s danger was naturally resolved.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    Li Yuan, like a gust of wind, flew past Li Yang and directly transmitted a message to him, ¡°Li Yang, retreat quickly.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Whoosh! Already heavily injured, Li Yang knew this was not the time for pretense and, like a bolt of lightning, he crossed paths with Li Yuan and completely flew out of the attack range of this group of Beast Kings.


    Hisss~ Li Yang¡¯s injuries were slowly healing.


    ¡°Did Teacher take a life-saving Spirit Pill?¡± Li Yuan, sensing with his Divine Sense, had this thought flash through his mind, ¡°He should be alright.¡±


    ¡°Wu Manong used one during the fierce battle, but unfortunately, it was in vain.¡±


    In the Seven Star Civilization, there are many life-saving Spirit Pills, like the ¡®Origin Purple Longevity Pill¡¯ that is most effective for Prime Warriors. As long as the head isn¡¯t instantly crushed, it can bring someone back to life.


    Sky-Flying Warriors have similar spirit pills, but their effects are not that exaggerated.


    But!


    Even the strongest life-saving spirit pills require some time to take effect.


    Like back in Mingxu Star Realm, when Li Yuan used an Origin Purple Longevity Pill to save Liu Jing, it took several minutes for Liu Jing¡¯s severed limbs to fully recover¡­ It took several more hours for him to fully awaken and completely recover. (Chapter 188)


    And for someone like Wu Manong who had cultivated a powerful Divine Body, the recovery would be even slower when in a state of using the Divine Body.


    And his battle with Chi Yen Beast King, how long did it last? It wasn¡¯t enough for the pill¡¯s full effects to develop.


    A few seconds to bring a body on the verge of collapse back to its prime, return to peak condition, a life-saving treasure?


    Perhaps such divine treasures exist in the universe, but at least the Seven Star Civilization does not possess them, and Li Yuan has never heard of them.


    All the Semi Divine Level geniuses that Li Yuan had killed in World within Worlds, who came from Divine Body civilizations, had not possessed such rare and precious treasures either.


    As for Wu Manong breaking through to Flying Heaven?


    Skills, spiritual power, and willpower can transform in a very short time, as they are intangible.


    But the transformation of the body is very complicated, it cannot be done overnight. Like the battle in World within Worlds, when Li Yuan and Alicia advanced from Level 19 to Level 20, they both sought a quiet place and took at least several hours. (Chapter 237)


    To advance from a Prime Warrior to Flying Heaven, the Sea of Source Energy must coalesce into an Origin Pill, a process that is even more complex and somewhat dangerous. At the least, it takes two to three days, or even up to half a month. If the breakthrough process is disturbed, it results in death or cripplement, and rushing such a breakthrough on the battlefield leads to a quicker demise.


    ¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± Under Li Yuan¡¯s full pursuit, his speed was much faster than the fleeing Beast Kings.


    Even Qing Sheng Beast King was far slower than Li Yuan.


    In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan had already closed in on the two slower Beast Kings.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Boom boom boom~ Six Li Yuans simultaneously wielded their Long Spears, and powerful Origin Power surged within their palms onto the Black Chen Spear, unleashing dazzling Spear Lights. Although the two Beast Kings tried to withstand, one of them was directly pierced through the skull by the Spear Light.


    The other Beast King was giant turtle, Li Yuan¡¯s first spear did not pierce his shell, but directly blasted numerous cracks in it¡­ The third spear followed the break in the fractured shell and directly killed him.


    They simply couldn¡¯t stop Li Yuan¡¯s relentless slaughter.


    ¡°These Star Realm Sky-Flying Exotic Beasts are much easier to kill than those of the Cloud Beast Civilization.¡± Li Yuan mused internally, ¡°Star Techniques, protective Battle Garments, and so on, are all much weaker.¡±

 Chapter 516: 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_2

    Chapter 516: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_2


    Without the legacy of civilization, their foundation in realm might not be weak, but overall strength is much inferior.


    ¡°One left.¡± Li Yuan stared at the fleeing green Flying Serpent.


    The water mysteries invoked by the opponent allowed for such rapid flight, which clearly indicated mastery of the Flying Escape Star Technique.


    But before Li Yuan could chase after the Qing Sheng Beast King.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A terrifying presence descended with a roar, layers of flames spread out like a sea of fire, crushing everything in their path.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The void trembled as Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain made contact with the enemy¡¯s Domain, showing signs of crumbling immediately.


    Clearly, in the clash of Domains, Li Yuan was far inferior to his opponent.


    Chi Yen Beast King, seeing the Qing Sheng Beast King in danger, did not care about killing Lei Meng and finally arrived in time.


    There was no exchange between them.


    Accompanied by the clash of Domains, a terrifying giant palm enveloped Li Yuan from the sky, working in tandem with the flame Domain, as if to stagnate space itself.


    ¡°Thirty-four Level? He must be the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor,¡± deduced Li Yuan from the opponent¡¯s silhouette, strength, and techniques.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors ruled this world, which was not united as one.


    Not all Flying Heaven Level Exotic Beasts wished to wage war with the Seven Star Civilization; over time¡­ the Seven Star Civilization had exchanged information with more than one local power of the Flying Heaven Level Beast Kings in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    That¡¯s how they learned many secrets of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Now facing the full-force attack of the Chi Yen Beast King, Li Yuan did not rely on his Phantom Body to dodge. Instead, his eyes burned with a fearsome war intent, and five of his six Phantom Bodies suddenly dissipated.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan did not retreat but advanced. Activating his ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± his aura was equally shocking, and his speed also soared to its peak in an instant, not much slower than that of the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Boom! With the Black Chen Spear in hand, Li Yuan suddenly drew on the mysteries of Earth and Wind True Intent, infusing it with Origin Power and stabbing fiercely. The spear light shone like a terrifying beam of light, dazzlingly bright.


    He directly collided with the giant palm that came crashing down like a flaming meteor.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    A tremendous boom resounded, and invisible shockwaves expanded, blasting in all directions.


    The Chi Yen Beast King felt waves of excruciating pain and saw many tiny cracks appear on his palm. His towering body shook violently as he was forced to retreat.


    Li Yuan was also sent flying by the palm strike, feeling his blood boil within his body.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were extremely bright.


    ¡°His attacking power is merely a notch stronger than mine,¡± Li Yuan realized this fact.


    If it were a Second Rank Martial Artist of the human race, like Dean Hai, he would hardly have the advantage in a frontal confrontation, and self-preservation would be considered good.


    Although the Chi Yen Beast King was also at Level 34, his Star Technique and weaponry were too ordinary, giving Li Yuan an opportunity to exploit.


    Li Yuan¡¯s decision to confront Chi Yen Beast King head-on was to initially gauge the strength of the Three Great Beast Emperors through their confrontation. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°To fight the Chi Yen Beast King head-on and not be at a disadvantage? Is that possible for a Second Rank Life?¡±


    ¡°It seems he¡¯s not injured.¡± The other Flying Heaven Beast Kings watching the scene felt a shudder in their hearts.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°This! He¡¯s facing this head-on, isn¡¯t he worried about his body? Can he withstand it?¡± Lei Meng and Li Yang were completely holding their breath.


    Even those with superficial experiences among the native Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts, let alone them, found it hard to understand the strength showcased by the Spirit Gun in rapid succession.


    ¡­¡±Kill!¡± As Li Yuan¡¯s figure dashed forward, he split into six.


    Fifth Layers Star Technique¡ªShadow Division Technique!


    The previous head-on collision was to judge the enemy¡¯s strongest strength; in a real battle, he naturally couldn¡¯t afford to do the same.


    The Six Paths Illusionary Bodies weaved through each other, moving swiftly towards the Chi Yen Beast King like phantoms.


    ¡°Phantom Body?¡±


    ¡°Suppress!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King felt a heavy pressure in his heart and immediately invoked his Domain. The surging flames in the void completely enveloped Li Yuan¡¯s six Phantom Bodies.


    The flames roared like dragons, attempting to shatter the Phantom Bodies and pinpoint Li Yuan¡¯s real position.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    But Li Yuan¡¯s six Phantom Bodies seemed to exist in a separate void, dodging the fiery light attacks with ease¡­ extremely agile.


    The Domain could not extinguish his Phantom Bodies.


    With the Fifth Layers Star Technique invoking dual mysteries of True Intent¡­ if it were so easily defeated, then this move wouldn¡¯t be so fearsome.


    Finally.


    Amidst the crossing Phantom Bodies, Li Yuan once again approached the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!¡± Multiple spear lights whistled out, with six spear lights sweeping from all directions.


    ¡°Roll away!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King roared angrily, swiping his palms swiftly through the void, his palms moving incredibly fast and with terrifying power.


    Like an illusory dream, five of the spear lights burst at the same time.


    Then the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s giant palm struck Li Yuan¡¯s real body, blocking the fearsome spear.


    ¡°You can block once, but not twice,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with cold intent to kill.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan¡¯s six Phantom Bodies moved again.


    The terror of the Shadow Domain lies in its ability to hide the true position during battle. Every attack was as if six real bodies were striking simultaneously, concealing the true intent of the attack and making it impossible for the enemy to discern.


    ¡°Contract!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King roared.


    He evidently realized this as well, as his towering body tens of meters tall suddenly began to shrink, almost in the blink of an eye, to about ten meters tall.


    Shrinking his body would weaken his strength somewhat, but it would greatly increase his body density and defensive power¡­ this was the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s innate ability.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The previously expansive Domain that covered kilometers contracted rapidly, now only enveloping an area tens of meters in radius¡­ With the Domain shrinking, its power naturally increased greatly.


    ¡°Sss~¡±


    ¡°Sss~¡± As Li Yuan¡¯s Black Chen Spear penetrated the Flame Domain, it immediately faced resistance from the layers of flames, the speed and power of the Black Chen Spear both being suppressed.

 Chapter 517: 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_3

    Chapter 517: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_3


    ¡°Kill!¡± roared the Chi Yen Beast King. After he shrank in size, his palms became more agile and managed to more easily block the long spear attacks. The illusory spears shattered and the real Black Chen Spear was thwarted.


    ¡°This human martial artist is too terrifying.¡±


    ¡°He is the strongest Second Rank life form I¡¯ve ever encountered. His skill level is definitely at the Beast Emperor tier.¡±


    ¡°No! Even if we only consider skill level, the Three Great Beast Emperors might not even match him,¡± conceded the Chi Yen Beast King, now focusing solely on defense.


    Attack? He couldn¡¯t distinguish Li Yuan¡¯s real body and couldn¡¯t possibly trouble Li Yuan. Instead, he was more likely to expose flaws.


    If he chose to flee, with his flying speed, escaping wouldn¡¯t be difficult.


    But if he fled, Qing Sheng Beast King and the others would likely be caught and killed by Li Yuan, so he had to choose to stall Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hold on.¡±


    ¡°After all, he is only a Second Rank life form. With each clash, sooner or later, he will not be able to withstand it,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King was patient.


    In a clash between powerhouses, the side with the weaker physical quality would easily get injured just from the impact of the weapons colliding.


    But as time passed.


    With each collision, the Chi Yen Beast King grew more astonished because he felt that the aura of the human martial artist clad in black hadn¡¯t diminished or changed at all.


    ¡°Is this human martial artist¡¯s defense so strong?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King found it unimaginable.


    Logically, no matter how strong he was, his body was still of Second Rank level!


    ¡°Trying to use the shock of battle to overwhelm my body?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze turned icy as he figured out the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s tactics.


    However, Li Yuan was protected by his half-divine-level armor, the ¡°Stellar Garment,¡± which could greatly weaken external shock forces.


    Plus, with the activation of his Great Earth Divine Body, Li Yuan¡¯s ability to endure was not inferior to that of a formidable Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    If one were to point out Li Yuan¡¯s weakness, it would be Origin Power!


    Simultaneously executing several powerful Star Techniques consumed an astonishing amount of Origin Power.


    ¡­All this seemed slow, but in just over ten seconds, beings like the Qing Sheng Beast King and Li Yang had already retreated more than ten kilometers.


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s frenzied assault, the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s defense grew increasingly strained.


    A prolonged defense is bound to fail.


    ¡°Pssht~¡± Suddenly, a spear stabbed out, drawing a dazzling arc in midair, piercing through layers of flames and fiercely aiming at the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Hiss~¡±


    It was too fast. The Chi Yen Beast King couldn¡¯t block in time and saw the spear light flare up and penetrate his chest, whereupon Li Yuan immediately felt a terrible resistance.


    It was too hard.


    ¡°This is bad,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression shifted slightly, ¡°Such strong defense?¡±


    After shrinking in size, the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s body was inherently hard, plus he was also protected by a layer of battle garment close to his skin, with his Domain weakening the attacks¡­ making Li Yuan¡¯s spear light strike his body but unable to penetrate deep.


    Many special bloodline creatures would awaken terrifying talents at different stages.


    Like the True Phoenix, which possesses the power of Nirvana.


    The Seven Star Civilization was but a corner in the vast expanse of the endless dimensional river, rarely witnessing such special creatures with extraordinary gifts.


    But immense strength and a sturdy body were the talents of the Chi Yen Beast King.


    His body, nearly as solid as rock, could awaken Spiritual Nature and give birth to Spiritual Wisdom was an incredible feat¡­ Just in terms of innate talent, across the entire Mingxu Star Realm, he was actuallyhigher than the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    However, as a rock life form, his Comprehension was quite mediocre, which is why he never became a Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Human, you can¡¯t kill me,¡± the voice of the Chi Yen Beast King resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°I can¡¯t do anything about you either. You are the strongest Second Rank life form I have ever seen.¡±


    ¡°How about we stop here and both withdraw?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King proposed through a mental message.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t speak.


    To watch the other side kill Wu Manong and simply withdraw? How could Li Yuan be content with that?


    ¡°If we continue fighting, you might have a chance to kill my clan¡¯s Beast Kings, but it will not be difficult for me to go all out and kill your two companions,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King communicated.


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly; this was the concern he had harbored, that he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop the other party from attacking Li Yang.


    Whoosh!


    Unconsciously, Li Yuan had already begun to retreat; continuing the fight seemed pointless.


    Both powerhouses could not overcome each other.


    ¡°Human martial artist.¡±


    ¡°I can feel your rage. Was the one I just killed your friend?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King looked at Li Yuan and said gravely, ¡°But you should understand that you are the invaders.¡±


    ¡°This is a racial struggle for survival space; does talking about invasion even matter? If your kind were powerful and had the chance to invade our world, would you stop?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold as he finally responded to the other party.


    ¡°You have a point,¡± agreed the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Just like when I followed the Beast Emperor into battle, through countless years I have killed many unyielding Beast Kings. Every rise of a Beast Emperor is accompanied with bloodshed and slaughter,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said, shaking his head, ¡°Discussing justice is indeed laughable.¡±


    ¡°But I believe you are aware of the situation. If my kind really went all out, the casualties among your humans would not be limited to what they are now,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King remarked, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan remained silent. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This indeed was a point the high echelons of the Seven Star Civilization couldn¡¯t understand.


    The strength displayed by the native forces of Mingxu was too powerful¡­ Beings like the Three Great Beast Emperors, and even the Chi Yen Beast King at this level, had never taken action before.


    Why hadn¡¯t they acted? It was a mystery.


    If the Mingxu native forces were determined to attack at all costs, they could have possibly destroyed many bases of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, or even wiped them all out long ago.


    However.


    The might of the Mingxu native forces was exactly why the Seven Star Civilization high command chose to give up the many outlying bases and withdraw completely.


    If the Seven Star Civilization were to call all Prime Warriors from the Seven Star Mountain to Mingxu Star Realm and even allow a batch to break through, and if they used a wealth of rare treasures to rapidly enhance their strength and mobilize more Fourth-order Battleships¡­ they might have a chance to win.

 Chapter 518: 304: Cant Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_4

    Chapter 518: Chapter 304: Can¡¯t Do Anything About It! The Final Ultimatum_4


    Defeating the Three Great Beast Emperors is not impossible.


    But the cost is too great.


    The Seven Star Civilization must be on guard, for the Second Rank Star Realms they vie for are not limited to just the Mingxu Star Realm.


    If we focus all our efforts on conquering the Mingxu Star Realm, what about the other Star Realms?


    ¡°With your strength, your status within the forces of your Human Race should also be extremely high,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King, staring at Li Yuan. ¡°I speak on behalf of the highest echelons of our world, hoping you will convey this to your superiors.¡±


    ¡°We do not wish to ignite a great war.¡±


    Li Yuan stood in the void, already understanding somewhat why the native forces of Mingxu only destroyed a large number of bases and did not exterminate all the human Martial Artists everywhere.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings were not afraid of his peers, the True Intent Prime Warriors, nor the few who had just broken through to the Flying Heaven level.


    They feared the entire Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization.


    Compared to the two great civilizations, the native forces of Mingxu were very weak.


    ¡°Ten days, just withdraw from our world, and we will not attack,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said slowly. ¡°But if your bases are still here after ten days.¡±


    ¡°Then, it will truly be an unending war until death.¡±


    ¡°I think, you would not want to witness the spectacle of the Three Great Beast Emperors taking action,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King, staring at Li Yuan, declared. ¡°This is your final warning.¡±


    ¡°Your civilization is very powerful.¡±


    ¡°But if you want to occupy our world, believe me, the price you will pay¡­ will be more than you can bear,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King somberly. ¡°This is our world.¡±


    ¡°We will not retreat, we have no retreat!¡±


    With that said!


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King suddenly waved his hand, and two shields flew out. ¡°These are the weapons of those who died in battle; take them back with you.¡±


    Li Yuan stepped forward, manipulating the power of heaven and earth to catch the weapons of Wu Manong.


    ¡°Remember.¡±


    ¡°You only have ten days!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King did not transmit his voice anymore; his voice echoed through heaven and earth.


    Boom!


    The Chi Yen Beast King soared into the sky, transforming into a flame that streaked toward the distance.


    ¡­


    ¡°Ten days?¡±


    Li Yuan, looking at the shields floating in front of him left by Wu Manong, pondered, and then with a wave of his hand, he stored them into his Storage Treasure.


    Swish! Swish!


    Li Yang and Lei Meng flew up, with Lei Meng saying, ¡°Spirit Gun, thank you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for the rescue,¡± Li Yang also said.


    ¡°I arrived too late,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    If he had come a little earlier, Wu Manong would not have perished.


    ¡°We were careless,¡± said Li Yang solemnly. ¡°In the past few days, we have not encountered any ambushes by Flying Heaven level¡­ Who could have expected so many Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts to suddenly appear, even including that Chi Yen Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, you have already done enough,¡± said Lei Meng similarly. ¡°In war, casualties are inevitable; once we have entered the battle, we were already prepared to die.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Wars involving a Second Rank Star Realm as intense as the Mingxu Star Realm have been quite rare for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°What did that Chi Yen Beast King mean by ten days?¡± Li Yang suddenly asked.


    ¡°After ten days, if we have not retreated, then the local forces of the Mingxu Star Realm will no longer show mercy; all Three Great Beast Emperors will take action,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice.


    Li Yang and Lei Meng were both startled.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head back first.¡±


    ¡°This matter must be reported to the Alliance,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head. ¡°Let the demigods decide.¡± S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    The three of them left quickly.


    ¡­


    Far away in the void.


    Eight Flying Heaven Beast Kings were flying at high speeds toward Ming Mountain, the atmosphere extremely tense.


    ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, you can¡¯t kill him alone,¡± said the Qing Sheng Beast King, his eyes flashing red, as he growled. ¡°If the Hei Guang Beast King and the Thunder Radiance Beast King were also called over, and you three joined forces, you could definitely kill that human Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng!¡±


    The Chi Yen Beast King glanced back, his voice frigid. ¡°Do you truly wish for our world to be destroyed?¡±

 Chapter 519: 305: Chi Yens Scheme! Li Yuans Promise

    Chapter 519: Chapter 305: Chi Yen¡¯s Scheme! Li Yuan¡¯s Promise


    ¡°`


    ¡°Hmm? Uncle Chi Yen, I didn¡¯t.¡± The Qing Sheng Beast King quickly explained, sensing the fury in the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s voice.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t?¡±


    ¡°But your desired actions are exactly what is sending our entire world to its doom,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said in a deep voice. ¡°Could it be that only your good brother ¡®Hei Jing Beast King¡¯ has a life worth living, and the lives of other Beast Kings aren¡¯t, that they should obey your commands and march to their deaths?¡±


    ¡°Thirteen Beast Kings emerged together for this battle, and only eight survived. Don¡¯t you feel a thing in your heart?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King stared at the Qing Sheng Beast King.


    The Qing Sheng Beast King was taken aback, a feeling?


    Indeed, there wasn¡¯t much of an impact on his heart.


    In his eyes, if these ordinary Beast Kings died, then they died; there were plenty more under his father¡¯s command.


    Let alone five, even if fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings died, the Qing Sheng Beast King wouldn¡¯t care.


    As long as he and the Beast Kings close to him survived, that was enough.


    He sensed the unusual gazes of the Beast Kings around him.


    ¡°Uncle Chi Yen, I was wrong,¡± the Qing Sheng Beast King quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± the Chi Yen Beast King snorted coldly and said in a low voice, ¡°Not just you, Qing Sheng, the rest of you Beast Kings must be wondering why I, Thunder Beast King, and Hei Guang Beast King didn¡¯t take action earlier.¡±


    ¡°And probably wondering why, despite our alliance, the other two Great Beast Emperor forces are biding their time,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Many of the flying Beast Kings nodded.


    From the top down, many Beast Kings of the entire Ming Xu native forces were puzzled by this, when they could have easily swept those Foreign Civilizations¡¯ forces.


    This was also the reason why many Flying Heaven Beast Kings, after destroying a large number of human civilization¡¯s war bases, refused to obey the Beast Emperor¡¯s command and still sought to flee and hunt down the human Martial Artists.


    Because they wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.


    ¡°War is not child¡¯s play.¡±


    ¡°Our enemies are not just the forces we see before us,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King slowly said: ¡°Decades ago, these two civilization forces had already dispatched small forces to infiltrate¡­ but they did not expand, and after consultation among the Three Great Beast Emperors, we just observed in secret.¡±


    ¡°Over a year ago, a channel from outside the domain appeared, as the Beast Emperor stated, it was the expansion of the Star Realm passage that allowed Second Rank Life to enter and exit freely¡­ Their Second Rank powerhouses entered, and the influence within our world rapidly increased.¡±


    ¡°But before we took action, these two forces started fighting among themselves,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King solemnly. ¡°Naturally, we preferred to let them fight among themselves, we were just bystanders.¡±


    Many Beast Kings nodded, since there had been no war until now.


    ¡°Eventually.¡±


    ¡°This civilization known as ¡®Seven Stars¡¯ gained the upper hand,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said solemnly: ¡°They began to establish a large number of small bases¡­ They were preparing to take root in our world, destroying our foundation.¡±


    Coldness flickered in the eyes of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    Their races, mostly scattered around the world, all command vast territories¡­ For new Beast Kings to be born within their tribes, they need living space and territories.


    The actions of the Seven Star Civilization, expanding thousands of kilometers at a time, surpassed the bottom line of these Flying Heaven Beast Kings and even the Beast Emperors; this was the root of the war outbreak.


    After all, how big is the entire Ming Xu world altogether?


    The Chi Yen Beast King did not mention the changes in the ¡®Divine Land¡¯¡­ These secrets were unnecessary to share with these ordinary Beast Kings.


    ¡°Our first wave of attacks was very successful, a great victory,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said slowly: ¡°Then what? The Seven Star Civilization quickly dispatched more Flying Heaven Martial Artists, sent more powerful Second Rank Life, Flying Heaven Martial Artists, to protect their fleeing First and Second Rank warriors.¡±


    ¡°And their technological weapons, most of the fallen Beast Kings were killed by technological weapons¡­¡±


    A chill went through the hearts of the Beast Kings.


    Especially the two Beast Kings who had taken part in the attack on the main base of the Seven Star Civilization, their expressions became even more grave.


    The main cannons of the Fourth-Order Battleships made a profound impression on them.


    Even a Level 33 Flying Heaven Beast King fell after just one hit.


    ¡°There were casualties, but the Seven Star Civilization had four main bases, and we successfully destroyed two of them.¡±


    ¡°And then, that human Martial Artist appeared,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said in a low voice: ¡°A mere Second Rank Life, I couldn¡¯t even deal with him¡­ Would the Beast Emperor definitely be able to slay him if he came?¡±


    Silence fell! Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Beast Emperor, exalted above all, was an invincible existence in the minds of these Beast Kings; if in the past someone said the Beast Emperor could not kill a Second Rank Life, they would have taken it as a joke¡­ but the recent encounter, they had seen with their own eyes.


    And saying this was the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King,¡¯ the strongest below the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Do you dare say that human Martial Artist is the strongest Second Rank being of the Seven Star Civilization?¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said solemnly: ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is unfathomable.¡±


    ¡°Without mentioning anything else, if that human Martial Artist breaks through to the Flying Heaven Realm within our world, by himself he could sweep across the entire world, and even the Three Great Beast Emperors wouldn¡¯t be a match for him,¡± said the Chi Yen Beast King solemnly: ¡°Even if we use all our strength to eradicate this human Martial Artist, can we ensure the Seven Star Civilization won¡¯t send even stronger forces to kill us?¡±


    Not a sound could be heard, no one could refute.


    The face of the Qing Sheng Beast King turned extremely unsightly¡­ He too had thought of this.


    With the war escalating time after time, the Seven Star Civilization was indeed revealing ever stronger forces.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°Such a peerless prodigy would not lightly consent to be trapped in our world.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization also has its limits,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said: ¡°But all these premises are based on us not pushing them into a corner.¡±


    ¡°We did not eradicate them completely before because we did not want to create a vendetta,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King said: ¡°Otherwise, if the Seven Star Civilization attacked desperately, we most likely would not be able to withstand it.¡±

    ¡°Chi Yen Senior.¡±


    ¡°Since we don¡¯t wish to make deadly enemies,¡± another Beast King, a giant turtle, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°why initiate this assassination? Doesn¡¯t this just further provoke them?¡±


    ¡°Because Hei Jing and Qing Yanyu are dead!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s eyes were ice-cold: ¡°Not wanting to start a war doesn¡¯t mean we should always back down.¡±


    ¡°I brought you all here, not just to take revenge.¡±


    ¡°If two powerful Beast Kings die and we show no response¡­ then these civilizations from beyond our domain will think us weak and easy to bully. Even if they withdraw now, they¡¯ll strike back later.¡±


    ¡°Only by making the Seven Star Civilization realize¡­ that we, the Mingxu Beast Clan, are strong and willing to fight to the death, so destroying us would come at an unimaginable cost,¡± the Chi Yen Beast King slowly said, ¡°will they truly be willing to negotiate with us.¡±


    Peace through war?


    All the present Flying Heaven Beast Kings thought of this phrase.


    ¡°Chi Yen Senior, are we really going to launch a full-scale assault in ten days?¡± a Beast King couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Fool!¡±


    ¡°Do we have to follow through on everything we say?¡± Chi Yen Beast King scoffed and said, ¡°If they withdraw from our world in ten days, naturally, that would be for the best.¡±


    ¡°Monitor them secretly, if they don¡¯t withdraw, we¡¯ll inform the Seven Star Civilization two days later that my previous ultimatum doesn¡¯t count¡­ the Three Great Beast Emperors have new orders.¡±


    ¡°In short, if both civilizations want to test our bottom line, we must delay, delay until the Three Great Beast Emperors leave the Divine Land,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said.


    All the Beast Kings nodded in agreement.

    Deep within Ming Mountain, the abode of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    Inside the palace in the middle of the lake.


    ¡°So you¡¯re saying you actually lost this battle?¡± Hei Guang Beast King looked at the Chi Yen Beast King in the projection.


    ¡°That human Martial Artist is terrifyingly strong,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said in a low voice.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Hei Guang Beast King nodded and said, ¡°A Flying Heaven Beast King, following our orders, has made contact with the ¡®Tianliang Civilization.¡¯ According to the information they provided¡­ this gun-wielding human Martial Artist should be the top genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡± Chi Yen Beast King muttered to himself.


    He noted down this name.


    ¡°How many Second Rank Lives like this are there in the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Chi Yen Beast King pressed.


    ¡°The Tianliang Civilization refuses to disclose that information,¡± Hei Guang Beast King shook his head and said, ¡°They only say that the Seven Star Civilization is far stronger than them, and if we want to protect the Mingxu Star Realm, there¡¯s only one option¡­ to unite with them. If we don¡¯t drive out the Seven Star Civilization, our Mingxu Star Realm will sooner or later get annihilated by them.¡±


    ¡°Unite?¡±


    Chi Yen Beast King snorted, ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, they want us to send in the Beast Kings to attack, and then they¡¯ll just give us some treasures and weapons, at most they might provide some Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡± Hei Guang Beast King nodded.


    ¡°From the current signs, the Seven Star Civilization is stronger and poses a greater threat,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said. ¡°But if we engage in an all-out brawl with the Seven Star Civilization, the losses would be too great, and the Tianliang Civilization, seizing the opportunity, would turn around and wipe us out.¡±


    ¡°Neither civilization is trustworthy.¡±


    ¡°What do the Beast Emperors say?¡± Chi Yen Beast King then asked.


    ¡°The Three Great Beast Emperors have been tracking that human Martial Artist known as ¡®Yu Jinghe¡¯ in the Divine Land,¡± Hei Guang Beast King said. ¡°But the Divine Land is vast, and they have not caught up¡­ It will still take a long time before the Three Great Beast Emperors come out.¡±


    ¡°After all, compared to occupying some territories from the two human civilizations, the Divine Land is more important.¡±


    Chi Yen Beast King nodded slightly.


    ¡°Chi Yen, what are your thoughts?¡± Hei Guang Beast King looked at him.


    ¡°In my opinion, it would be for the best if both human forces withdrew in accordance with the final ultimatum,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said. ¡°But most likely, they won¡¯t pull back.¡±


    ¡°Thus, it¡¯s better to tempt them to keep fighting each other than to fight to the death and possibly force them to join hands against us.¡±


    ¡°Their main bases, I remember, are only about two thousand kilometers apart¡­ Let¡¯s inform them both at the same time that we will grant them the territory within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius of that region,¡± Chi Yen Beast King said earnestly. ¡°I, the Mingxu Star Realm, will cede that territory, allowing them to proliferate greatly and to mine the resources within that domain.¡±


    ¡°Granting territory?¡± Hei Guang Beast King was stunned; this was unexpected to him.


    A ten-thousand-kilometer territory is less than one-tenth of the Mingxu Star Realm and isn¡¯t very significant.


    ¡°With such a plan, as long as they¡¯re not fools, they¡¯ll certainly notice something amiss,¡± Hei Guang Beast King couldn¡¯t help but say. ¡°Won¡¯t they join forces to attack us?¡±


    ¡°So what if they do notice? This is an overt scheme,¡± Chi Yen Beast King shook his head and said. ¡°Do you think, the Seven Star Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, can trust each other? They are the real sworn enemies.¡±


    ¡°Normally,¡±


    ¡°Neither civilization would prefer to occupy our world than to let the other gain an advantage.¡±


    Chi Yen Beast King slowly said, ¡°The key is, although our Mingxu Beast Clan is weak¡­ within our world, we have the advantage.¡±


    Hei Guang Beast King nodded unconsciously.


    The Mingxu Beast Clan was like a hedgehog with treasures, facing two fierce tigers¡­


    Both tigers wanted to devour the hedgehog and take its treasures, but feared getting injured by the hedgehog¡¯s spines, thereby giving the other tiger an advantage.


    Not wanting to be attacked by both tigers, the hedgehog only wanted to throw out part of its treasures, prompting the tigers to fight each other first.


    ¡°If we really give up such a large territory, wouldn¡¯t that be inviting the wolf into the house?¡± Hei Guang Beast King was still worried. ¡°They will establish even more large bases.¡±


    ¡°That will depend on the Three Great Beast Emperors,¡± Chi Yen Beast King shook his head and said. ¡°If one of the Beast Emperors can break through to become a Demigod¡­ there¡¯s no need to be concerned about these threats. No matter how strong the two civilizations are, they won¡¯t be able to do anything about it.¡±


    ¡°If our Mingxu Beast Clan can¡¯t give birth to a Demigod¡­¡± Chi Yen Beast King fell silent for a long while before saying, ¡°sooner or later, we will be completely devoured.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore,¡±


    ¡°Currently, the world passage only allows Second Rank Life to enter and leave. If it gets upgraded again to allow Third Order Life to pass through¡­ and if we still haven¡¯t birthed a Demigod by then, aside from submission, we¡¯ll have no second path to survival.¡±

    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yuan, Li Yang, and Lei Meng had returned to the Bright Moon Base.


    Outside the Fourth-order Battleship.


    Luo Chan, Tavares, and the over ten other people stationed at the base, having received the news, came forward to greet them with notably grave expressions on their faces.


    ¡°Tavares, eyes reddening, asked, ¡°Spirit Gun, is it true that Wu Manong has fallen in battle?¡±


    The burly man struggled to contain his emotions.


    ¡°Ah,¡± Li Yuan sighed softly, flipping his palm to retrieve two shields and spoke somberly, ¡°Tavares¡­ keep these weapons, and give them to his wife and child.¡±


    Wu Manong had a family; his wife was a Prime Warrior, and they had a son.


    With red-rimmed eyes and shaky hands, Tavares took the two shields.


    Everyone else felt a heavy sigh in their hearts.


    Wu Manong¡¯s death saddened everyone¡­ but in these times, scenes like this had become all too common.


    Yet, no one felt the grief as acutely as Tavares¡­ everyone knew that Wu Manong had two close friends who shared life and death.


    One was Yu Jinghe; for over a decade, they had sparred against each other as rivals but remained friends throughout.


    The other was Tavares. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He and Wu Manong had the closest relationship, having fought side by side through countless life-and-death battles.


    ¡°The Chi Yen Beast King,¡± Tavares suddenly let out a series of low growls, knowing the killer was the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    Luo Chan, in a low voice, said, ¡°According to the message you sent back, the demigods have just finished meeting, and several of them want to see you.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded and followed Luo Chan toward the distant Fourth-order Battleship.


    No one else objected.


    They all knew the outcome of the battle between Spirit Gun and the Chi Yen Beast King¡­ and the strength displayed by Spirit Gun was both shocking and exciting to them.


    This increased their awe of the enigmatic ¡®Number One Prime Warrior of the Civilization.¡¯


    ¡­


    Huff! Huff!


    Li Yuan and Luo Chan flew into a small conference room deep within the battleship.


    Boom¡ªThe conference room door closed.


    Inside the conference room, three massive holographic screens projected three figures.


    They were all familiar to Li Yuan.


    Huff~


    The Battle Garment that had covered Li Yuan¡¯s face receded, revealing his visage.


    Next, Li Yuan¡¯s soul underwent a transformation, as he removed the covering of the Phantom Spirit Garment.


    Luo Chan, despite having known this, still felt a sense of amazement.


    ¡°Senior Bai Shan, Senior San Ye, Headmaster,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully.


    Everyone present was aware of their identities; there was no need for concealment.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯ve performed admirably in the Star Realm retreat operation; don¡¯t be too hard on yourself,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°War always brings casualties, and everyone who has fallen is a hero of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Their names will be inscribed in the history of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°The rise of a civilization is always accompanied by countless sacrifices,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine added. ¡°Whether it¡¯s your battles in the Second Level Star Realm, or our stand in the Third Level Star Realm, protecting the Fourth Level Star Realm¡­ generations in the distant future will remember our contributions.¡±


    ¡°The dead are gone, the living must continue to move forward.¡±


    Li Yuan listened in silence.


    Whether it was fending off foreign enemies or attacking other Star Realms¡­ whether it was Li Yuan or the powerful demigods before him, or the countless human Martial Artists who had sacrificed themselves throughout history.


    Their goal had always been one¡ªto ensure the survival of the Seven Star Civilization.


    To ensure its better survival!


    ¡­


    The discussion in the conference room continued.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your strength is so immense that, placed in the history of our civilization, you are the strongest Prime Warrior,¡± Fang Hai observed with a hint of admiration. ¡°No one else can catch up to you.¡±


    ¡°Even true intend Prime Warriors like Luo Chan, even if they break through to the Flying Heaven Level, won¡¯t be a match for you in the short term,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    Luo Chan, listening on the side, inwardly sighed, acknowledging the truth in this.


    The power displayed by Li Yuan in battle indeed put them, the true intend Prime Warriors, in a position of looking up to him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what are your thoughts on the ¡®ten-day ultimatum¡¯ from the Chi Yen Beast King?¡± San Ye Semi-Divine asked.


    Whether it was to fight or to fully retreat.


    As the strongest frontline warrior, Li Yuan¡¯s opinion was very important.


    ¡°`


    ¡°My strength is still not enough,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°I can¡¯t even kill the Chi Yen Beast King¡­ To think of killing the Three Great Beast Emperors, there is no hope at all.¡±


    The Chi Yen Beast King is Fourth Rank.


    So it can be basically confirmed that the Three Great Beast Emperors should be Fifth Rank, thus their mastery of abilities must be at least at the intermediate rank of True Intent, and their strength far surpasses that of Fourth Rank in all aspects¡­ Even if in terms of weapons and Star Techniques, the Beast Emperors are weaker than the peak Flying Heaven warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan currently can¡¯t shake them.


    If encountered, it would be good enough just to save his life.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all briefly stunned.


    Wasn¡¯t it obvious that Li Yuan was no match for the Three Great Beast Emperors? Why suddenly say this?


    ¡°I need one month¡¯s time.¡±


    Li Yuan spoke again, his eyes calm, ¡°In one month, my strength will significantly improve, and I will have the confidence to fight a Beast Emperor, even to the point of killing one.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°To fight a Beast Emperor?¡±


    ¡°One month¡¯s time?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine were all shocked.


    Luo Chan, who was beside them, was even more dumbfounded.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength was already formidable, and it could get even stronger?


    ¡°Li Yuan, do you intend to break through to the Flying Heaven Level in the Mingxu Star Realm?¡± San Ye Semi-Divine seemed to think of something.


    The others all looked at Li Yuan.


    If Li Yuan broke through to the Flying Heaven Level, underwent a foundational transformation, and his strength surged greatly, then killing a Beast Emperor would naturally not be difficult.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be impulsive,¡± Fang Hai also spoke gravely, ¡°Even if the Mingxu Star Realm is important¡­ it¡¯s not worth staying here forever, the loss outweighs the gain.¡±


    ¡°Principal, rest assured, I will not be impulsive,¡± Li Yuan said, knowing what these alliance senior executives were worried about.


    ¡°How can you achieve this?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Those Three Great Beast Emperors, at least Fifth Rank¡­ the foundational gap is too great.¡±


    It¡¯s no wonder these demigods were losing their composure.


    Normally speaking, for a 29th Level genius Prime Warrior to be comparable to a 31st Level Flying Heaven Warrior was impressive enough.


    Exceptionally strong ones could be on par with 32nd Level human warriors, like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef.


    To be 29th Level and comparable to a 33rd Level? Before Li Yuan, the entire Seven Star Civilization only had one example!


    Fang Hai!


    Li Yuan, calculating his age, had just turned 20, and it was already incredible for him to be a match for the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Now, he was claiming that in another month he could be on par with a 35th Level Beast Emperor?


    How could they easily believe that?


    ¡°I can¡¯t explain the specific reasons, but I can only tell you seniors, I am capable,¡± Li Yuan said gravely, ¡°I will not joke with my own life.¡±


    All was silent.


    Luo Chan held his breath.


    After a long while,


    ¡°Alright, Li Yuan, we believe you,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said solemnly, ¡°In the coming month, we will fully retreat, giving up the Bright Moon Base¡­ We will only keep the Bright Moon Base as a strategic support point, allowing the Myriad Demons Civilization to draw the Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s firepower.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°The underground network has sent news that the Tianliang Civilization has already sought help from the Myriad Demons Civilization, judging by the time, the genius Prime Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization should be arriving soon,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Of course, the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn¡¯t care about territorial ownership, their goal is only the treasures of Ming Mountain¡­ they will probably head straight to Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Genius of the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, amazed by the intelligence network of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Such confidential information could actually be inquired about in advance.


    ¡°Could the Myriad Demons Civilization attack us in advance?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s possible,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°Therefore, considering the one month¡¯s time you requested, we have decided to retreat¡­ Once they catch a glimpse of a group of Fourth-order Battleships inside our base, they should give up attacking.¡±


    ¡°After all, the power of the Myriad Demons Civilization has its limits, as long as we temporarily show weakness, presenting a willingness to abandon the contest for the treasures of Ming Mountain¡­ They won¡¯t waste their energy fighting us.¡±


    ¡°Besides, we are also planning to let two True Intent Prime Warriors break through.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly, such a bold decision.


    Each True Intent Prime Warrior had the potential to become a demigod in the future¡­ To convince such geniuses to willingly stay in the Mingxu Star Realm was very difficult.


    ¡°All these plans are based on your ability to do what you promised,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said, ¡°Within a month, to possess the strength to rival a Beast Emperor.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    On the flight back, he had already begun to sense preliminarily within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­ There was more than a 90% certainty.


    ¡°Li Yuan, what help do you need?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    ¡°I need some treasures,¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment then said, ¡°I can use Seven Stars Points to buy them, but some treasures are so precious, I don¡¯t have the authority, and I need the demigods¡¯ help.¡±


    Quickly,


    Li Yuan took out a list of treasures, specifically for practicing the Ninefold Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± the Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Shadow Clone,¡± and the Fifth Layer Star Technique ¡°Wind Feather,¡± which listed all the materials he needed.


    These were the preparations he had made on the way back.


    If they could be gathered, it would be enough for Li Yuan to bring these Star Techniques to the limit of Second Order.

    Chapter 522: Chapter 306: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Conjecture! Spiritual Guidance (Extra 25)


    ¡°Treasure list?¡± San Ye Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and Fang Hai all looked at the list given by Li Yuan.


    Half a square of Fire Divine Crystal, Wood God Crystal, Water Divine Crystal, and Metal Divine Crystal¡­


    Emerald Spirit Bamboo, Sky Silk Stone, Ring Green Fruit, Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, Soul-devouring Ghost Wood¡­


    A dense array of all kinds of treasures, amounting to nearly a hundred items; even the two semi-divines and Fang Hai, as experienced as they were, found themselves somewhat astonished.


    Not to mention anything else, just the combined value of the two squares of Five Elements Divine Crystal alone reached 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    Enough to make a semi-divine take notice.


    As for the other numerous treasures, none required in a large quantity and most were not considered precious, but the variety was overwhelming.


    Moreover, a few of the treasures were extremely rare, only heard of but never seen before by the semi-divines and impossible to evaluate in terms of specific value.


    The conference room was silent as a tomb.


    ¡°Are these treasures very precious?¡± Luo Chan was curious in her heart; she dared not release her divine sense to inquire and couldn¡¯t see the list provided by Li Yuan clearly.


    But from the expressions of the several high-ranking alliance members, she guessed as much and was secretly startled.


    What exactly did Li Yuan ask for?


    Li Yuan too waited silently; he had no choice. To cultivate star techniques like ¡°Wind Feather¡± and ¡°Nine Shadow Clones¡± wasn¡¯t too demanding in terms of required treasures.


    But!


    ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± was different. It was a Supreme Star Technique¡­ and body refining star techniques were unanimously recognized as the premier slaughter star techniques!


    In short, once one made progress in cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± even among peers in the endless river of dimensions, it would be known for its invincible might.


    Such a fearsome star technique, with extreme difficulty in cultivation, demanded high proficiency in both Star Meridian Mystery and skill realm¡­ and to cultivate it fully required the aid of a vast amount of external substances.


    In fact, the list of treasures above wasn¡¯t complete, and ¡°an Earth Origin Crystal¡± was also needed, but as Li Yuan already had one, it wasn¡¯t listed.


    After a while.


    ¡°Li Yuan, must you have these treasures?¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°The other treasures are one thing, but for items like the Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, I¡¯m afraid our civilization¡¯s treasure vaults may not have them¡­ We must ask the Alliance Hierarch if he has them.¡±


    ¡°I must.¡± Li Yuan nodded solemnly, ¡°Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to match the Beast Emperor.¡±


    Without successfully cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan estimated that even if his skill realm perception reached the standard of a semi-divine, it wouldn¡¯t necessarily rival the Beast Emperor¡­ the difference in fundamental strength was too great.


    Foundations are extremely important.


    The several high-ranking officials looked at each other, and Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°Li Yuan, excluding the three most precious and rare treasures, the total value of all the other treasures combined¡­ exceeds 400,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°For such a large sum of treasures, even a semi-divine would almost find it impossible to produce,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head.


    ¡°Predecessor Bai Shan, I¡¯m not trying to take advantage¡­¡± Li Yuan said, remembering how the previous principal had only offered ¡°30,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Most semi-divines probably wouldn¡¯t keep that many Seven Stars Points on hand; they would usually convert them into strength.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you misunderstand.¡±


    San Ye Semi-Divine spoke softly, ¡°What we mean is, the alliance can advance these treasures to you¡­ after you clean sweep the entire Mingxu Star Realm, the alliance will then acknowledge your merits and offset it then.¡±


    ¡°Even if we don¡¯t ultimately take the Mingxu Star Realm, as long as you have sufficient strength and points in the future, you can repay the alliance.¡± San Ye Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°How does that sound to you?¡±


    ¡°Acceptable,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    This was essentially an interest-free loan.


    ¡°Li Yuan, for the other three treasures, I need to inquire with the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°You¡¯ll have to wait a moment.¡±


    ¡°All right,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Feixing, a place shrouded in mystery and connected to the Martial Divine Star Realm, was where Dongfang Ji was quietly cultivating.


    That blurry silhouette sat cross-legged amidst the void, as if he was in another space entirely.


    ¡°Master, Fang Hai is requesting communication, an urgent contact,¡± a deep voice resonated.


    ¡°Answer it,¡± the blurry silhouette said.


    Swiftly.


    Hum~


    A projection appeared, the dim light coalesced to form the phantom of Fang Hai.


    ¡°Master,¡± Fang Hai greeted with respect.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s concerning Li Yuan and the Mingxu Star Realm¡­¡± Fang Hai quickly recounted the situation, ¡°The other treasures can all be retrieved from the Seven Stars Treasury, but the Purple Mist Qi Flower Stone, Soul-devouring Ghost Wood, and Black Rhino Iron¡­ the treasury lacks them. After much thought, I realized only you could possibly have a way.¡±


    Having said that, Fang Hai stood respectfully waiting for Dongfang Ji¡¯s decision.


    ¡°This treasure list?¡± Surprise flickered in the blurry silhouette¡¯s eyes.


    With his vast experience, listening to Fang Hai¡¯s description of the list, he had his suspicions.


    ¡°Tell Li Yuan, I can procure these three items for him, but it will take three days,¡± the blurry silhouette said directly, ¡°These treasures, with a total value of 100,000 Seven Stars Points¡­ can be initially charged to the treasury¡¯s account, but in the future, he will need to repay it.¡±


    ¡°Let the debt for this list of treasures be recorded under me,¡± Fang Hai suddenly said.


    ¡°Charge it all to you?¡± The blurry silhouette expressed surprise, ¡°Fang Hai, this is 500,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Last time, I acquired the Divine Visualization Method from Li Yuan, and only paid out 30,000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°I¡¯ve always felt indebted, and since Li Yuan was weaker before, he didn¡¯t need that many Seven Stars Points, so I was not in a hurry.¡±


    ¡°Now that Li Yuan just happens to need them, let it be charged to my account, and I will repay it in the future.¡±


    ¡°500,000 Seven Stars Points is still not comparable to one high-level Divine Visualization Method, but at least it¡¯ll ease my conscience,¡± Fang Hai stated earnestly.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded slightly. He knew his disciple had a different temperament and disliked being indebted to others.


    Magnanimous and forthright.


    ¡°Fang Hai, have you made a breakthrough in your spiritual power?¡± Dongfang Ji suddenly inquired.


    ¡°As you¡¯ve discerned, Master,¡± Fang Hai revealed a slight smile.


    Indeed, his spiritual power had broken through restraints and bottlenecks over the past year with the aid of the Divine Visualization Method¡­ and had stepped into the Semi-Divine Level.


    ¡°Good,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes brightened.


    One moet remember, Fang Hai had already approached the threshold of Laws with his Flying Heaven Level spiritual power. Now possessing Semi-Divine Level spiritual power, his efficiency in comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth would skyrocket, and the speed of his strength improvement would rise dramatically.


    Bottlenecks? In Fang Hai¡¯s cultivation life, at present, there were no such restraints.


    Before Li Yuan came along, within the Seven Star Civilization, the person Dongfang Ji valued most was Fang Hai.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Seven Star Veins, are you confident?¡± Dongfang Ji asked the key question.


    ¡°There¡¯s hope,¡± Fang Hai nodded. ¡°I will strive to break through to Seven Star Veins before entering the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ If all goes well, once the breakthrough to semi-divine is complete, with a bit of time accumulating Origin Power, I should be able to surpass Senior Lant.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded slightly, very satisfied with Fang Hai¡¯s progress.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Go tell Li Yuan, within three days, I will have gathered the items,¡± Dongfang Ji said slowly. ¡°Tell him not to be hasty, occupying Mingxu Star Realm is secondary¡­ If there¡¯s no absolute certainty, do not take the risk.¡±


    ¡°Your disciple understands,¡± Fang Hai said.


    His figure thunderously vanished.


    This Void Land was left once again with Dongfang Ji sitting cross-legged in meditation, his form ethereal.


    ¡°Master, judging from the treasure list, Li Yuan is aiming to practice the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique.¡± The deep voice echoed. ¡°Has his Star Vein progressed this quickly?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s inconceivable.¡±


    ¡°The Ninefold Star Technique requires Nine Layer Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°To practice two Ninefold Star Techniques, even in the Divine Court branch, is extremely rare, and only a group of top talents located in the Divine Realm dare to say they can definitely practice them,¡± the deep voice went on, chatting away as if it couldn¡¯t stop.


    Clearly, the list of treasures had greatly shocked him.


    ¡°He has indeed awoken new Nine Layer Star Veins quite quickly, but it¡¯s not beyond my expectations,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently. ¡°However¡­ that he actually has the corresponding Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique, it seems the secrets of Fierce Feather Star Realm are even greater than we imagined.¡±


    ¡°Yes, the semi-divine inheritance is most likely false; it was probably a more powerful Divine,¡± the deep voice said. ¡°Normally, a false god who¡¯s just ignited the Divine Fire, even if they learned the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique¡­ wouldn¡¯t likely be qualified to leave behind an inheritance. I suspect he¡¯s received the legacy of a true Divine, it¡¯s just unclear which one from the war ten thousand years ago.¡±


    ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°All secrets will eventually be revealed.¡±


    ¡°As long as Li Yuan is loyal to our Seven Star Civilization, that¡¯s enough for now,¡± Dongfang Ji said, closing his eyes gently. ¡°The ¡®Battle of Divine of the Nine Mountains World¡¯ that happened ten thousand years ago, there were only so many powerful divines participating, and those of the Earth System were even rarer¡­ Mm, those three treasures Li Yuan needs, you go find ¡®Fang Yao Divine¡¯ from the Multiverse Commerce Guild to gather them for me within a day.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, master.¡±


    ¡­


    Mingxu Star Realm, Bright Moon Base, in the meeting room.


    Everyone was waiting patiently.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    One of the projections, Fang Hai who had been closing his eyes all along, suddenly opened them, revealing a slight smile: ¡°It¡¯s all set. In two days, most of the treasures on the list will be delivered.¡±


    ¡°In four days, those three most precious treasures will also be gathered and sent to you, alright?¡±


    ¡°However, those three most precious types of treasure have a total value of 100,000 Seven Stars Points and together with the other treasures you¡¯ve requested¡­ it¡¯ll come to a total of 500,000 Seven Stars Points.¡±


    Fang Hai changed ¡®three days¡¯ to ¡®four days.¡¯


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded, 500,000 Seven Stars Points? Indeed, it was an extravagant fortune.


    But as long as he could practice them, it would be worth it.


    Not to mention within the Seven Star Civilization, even looking at the entire Dimensional Domain¡­ how many can practice two Supreme Star Techniques at the same time?


    Even the powerful Ancient Torch Divine only cultivated the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to Perfection of the same rank.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, then you go ahead and practice first, if you need anything, just communicate with any one of us three,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Yes, Principal.¡±


    ¡­


    After finalizing the many details.


    Li Yuan did not return to Xia Country to perform Spiritual Guidance, but chose to retreat within Bright Moon Base.


    ¡°The Hall of Inheritance is absolutely safe, but Gu You¡¯s Perception Ability is too strong.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, I¡¯ve requested many rare and precious treasures; perhaps the semi-divines might not notice, but what about Alliance Hierarch Dongfang?¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°Will he guess that I am practicing a Supreme Star Technique?¡±


    ¡°Once I return, will he secretly observe me?¡±


    Li Yuan greatly admired the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang; he had been his idol since he was young.


    But because of his admiration and gradual contact with him, he grew more in awe of Dongfang.


    And the same went for Gu You.


    ¡°Spiritual Guidance involves the Mind Spirit Divine Palace,¡± Li Yuan mused silently. ¡°This is my biggest secret¡­ I can¡¯t reveal it unless I¡¯m absolutely capable of protecting myself.¡±


    If the Nine Layer Star Vein is exposed? It doesn¡¯t matter; it can be attributed to his innate talent for Star Veins.


    If the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is revealed, everything becomes unpredictable.


    ¡­


    Inside a Fourth-order Battleship, in a Quiet Chamber.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense enveloped all directions, ensuring there was no power spying.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, it was highly unlikely for anyone to have a higher Skill Realm or spiritual power than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Even if the Three Great Beast Emperors join forces to attack, they couldn¡¯t break through a Fourth-order Battleship instantly,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew even calmer. ¡°I hope everything goes smoothly.¡±


    Wu Manong¡¯s death, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t say he was too heartbroken, he was just somewhat sentimental; after all, their emotional bond was not that deep.


    But Li Yuan became more keenly aware of one thing¡ªbecoming stronger! He must become even stronger!


    ¡°To become the strongest Second Rank Life in history.¡±


    ¡°The first Prime Warrior of civilization? Not enough! I must become the strongest Second Rank Life in the history of many civilizations in the entire Dimensional Domain,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart vowed silently. ¡°Only then can I completely pacify the many Second Level Star Realms, making our Seven Star Civilization stronger.¡±


    The strength of a civilization must be upheld by generation after generation of strong individuals stepping forward, contributing.


    The first generation of Martial Artists stepped forward, shaped the Law with their bodies, sacrificed their lives, and initiated the beginning of life evolution for the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Semi-Divine Lant stepped forward, saving the Seven Star Civilization from its first crisis of extinction.


    The rise of Alliance Hierarch Dongfang made the Seven Star Civilization truly powerful, causing many Foreign Civilizations to fear, daring not to invade again.


    ¡°And I.¡±


    ¡°I have the chance to surpass all predecessors in the history of Seven Star Civilization, even surpassing Senior Dongfang, to become a Divine.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s travels through more Star Realms, the more he saw, the stronger this obsession became in his heart.

    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness entering the second level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    He began the second Spiritual Guidance.

    Chapter 523: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)


    Rustle~ Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness condensed, easily passing from the first to the second layer of white jade staircase under the oppression of spiritual power.


    He arrived at the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    The second layer hadn¡¯t changed much compared to before, save for that one Jade Platform.


    But in the hall, golden mist wafted about.


    ¡°The first Spiritual Guidance came when my Spiritual Awakening Level reached 25%, so no Origin Power entered my body, and thus, no golden mist,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°But the second Spiritual Guidance, activated when the Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, does that overlap with the entry of Origin Power?¡±


    So much time had passed.


    The more Li Yuan explored the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the more he understood, and many of his previous conjectures had been confirmed.


    With every 10% increase in Spiritual Awakening Level, golden mist would emerge as the source of the power from the Origin Power entering his body.


    Spiritual Guidance, on the other hand, occurred every 25% increase, guiding him within the space of the Life Star.


    ¡°Unfortunately, I can¡¯t use this golden mist to enhance my Physical Quality for now,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having broken through to level 37 of spiritual power and feeling a change in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, Li Yuan had tried¡­ The Origin Power could no longer merge into his flesh, nor could it merge into the Sea of Source Energy.


    Because Li Yuan hadn¡¯t yet condensed an Origin Pill.


    ¡°Even if I don¡¯t actively advance to level 30, my Physical Quality has reached a limit; no amount of golden mist can further improve it,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°This time, the entrance of Origin Power can only be set aside for now.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that this golden mist can¡¯t promote the growth of spiritual power alone.¡±


    The previous four times when Origin Power entered his body.


    The golden mist could assist both with physical transformation and the growth of spiritual power¡­ But this time, Li Yuan also attempted to integrate the golden mist into his consciousness body, trying to help his spiritual power transform.


    He found that it was unsuccessful.


    ¡°The entry of Origin Power, enhancing Physical Quality is the core; the fusion of golden mist into consciousness¡­ only comes with the growth of spiritual power as an added benefit,¡± Li Yuan affirmed this understanding.


    Advance to the Flying Heaven level? Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t do it¡­


    Less than two years since he became a Prime Warrior, nowhere near awakening his Star Meridians to their limits, Li Yuan naturally wouldn¡¯t break through.


    ¡°My goal is to reach the Eight Star Veins while I¡¯m still a Prime Warrior,¡± Li Yuan contemplated.


    The longer he cultivated, the more Li Yuan realized the difficulty of awakening the Star Meridians; the difficulty increased exponentially the further he progressed.


    Yet Li Yuan never abandoned his goal of achieving the Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    As he pondered, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness condensed on the second layer¡¯s Jade Platform in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    This Jade Platform had only been successfully used once during the first Spiritual Guidance.


    After that, no matter how Li Yuan tried, there was no response.


    But today.


    ¡°Boom!¡± When Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness focused on the Jade Platform, he felt as if it had an invisible suction force, quickly absorbing his consciousness into it.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t stop the process, or rather, he simply went with the flow.


    Seconds later.


    Li Yuan¡¯s surroundings transformed, and he found himself in the endless dark starry sky, with countless twinkling stars in the distant void¡­ He was once again in the familiar space of his Life Star.


    And today was obviously different from usual days.


    ¡°Five Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan could easily sense, in this vast space, the five Star Veins formed by countless Life Stars¡­ as well as a multitude of scattered, unconnected Life Stars.


    This was the result of Li Yuan¡¯s years of solitary cultivation and Law Creation.


    ¡°Hopefully, with the help of the second Spiritual Awakening, I can ascend to a higher level,¡± Li Yuan anticipated in his heart.


    His inner tranquility stirred a wisp of peculiar change in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Time elapsed.


    Gradually.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In the vast space of the Life Star, streaks of purple mist emitting a strange glow appeared out of nowhere.


    These streams emerged from the very depths of the Life Star space, crossed the vast space in the blink of an eye, and drifted toward Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Here they come.¡± Li Yuan, whose spiritual power now greatly surpassed that of his first Spiritual Guidance, detected these purple streams.


    At the same time, he also felt the vitality and liveliness contained in these streams.


    It was very mysterious.


    Clearer than during the first Spiritual Guidance, Li Yuan waited patiently.


    Seconds later.


    ¡°Hum~¡± The first strand of purple mist merged silently into Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body, combining perfectly.


    In an instant!


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan felt his field of vision in his consciousness body expand rapidly: ¡°Have I changed?¡±


    It was as if the lens had zoomed out sharply, yet it was clearer than before.


    This state was bizarre, yet incredibly real.


    ¡°Five Star Veins!¡±


    ¡°Life Stars!¡±


    ¡°Countless stars.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®vision¡¯ finally stabilized.


    At that moment, empowered by the purple mist, his perspective was elevated to its peak; he felt as if he could overlook the entire Life Star space and had a sense of control over everything.


    One star after another, endless!


    All these countless stars were asleep, whether Dead Stars, or unawakened Life Stars¡­ all under Li Yuan¡¯s perception and observation.


    ¡°My Perception Ability seems to be stronger than during the first Spiritual Guidance,¡± Li Yuan realized.


    Last time, he could only observe most of the Dark Space.


    This time, he could faintly glimpse the whole picture.


    ¡°Those are the unawakened Life Stars.¡± In this strange state, Li Yuan could feel the very few exceptions among billions of silent stars.


    Life Stars are the rare few.


    With a body like the universe, billions of Dead Stars¡­ finding the awakened Life Stars is like panning for gold in a desert, normally very difficult, and a slight misstep can backfire.


    Therefore, even for those extraordinary geniuses, awakening Star Veins is incredibly challenging and slow.


    At this moment.


    ¡°Seeking the minuscule in the dust, combining two into one¡­¡± That vast and profound voice suddenly echoed, and Li Yuan had been patiently waiting for this moment.

    Chapter 524: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_2


    His realm had far surpassed the past, and only by listening once more could Li Yuan appreciate the profundity of this sound, which could be called the ¡°Sound of the Great Dao¡±.


    It contained a strange power, guiding Li Yuan.


    ¡°Follow the sensation.¡±


    ¡°Divine merges with stars! Divine merges with body! Divine merges with intent!¡± Li Yuan followed the invisible guidance of the Sound of the Great Dao.


    Whoosh~ His consciousness instantly scattered completely, diversifying into myriad parts.


    Huh!


    Tens of thousands of spiritual thoughts crossed the vast space of the Life Star in an instant, easily perceiving those few unawakened Life Stars that twinkled faintly among the billions of stars¡­ The entire process was astonishingly fast.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The numerous spiritual thoughts that Li Yuan had divided into had already fused directly into the sensed stars, swiftly imprinting his own Mark.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    It was as if a city, in a sudden, had been lit up, the space of the Life Star that already had some brightness¡­ was becoming visibly brighter at a speed perceptible to the naked eye!!


    Ten thousand! Twenty thousand! Thirty thousand¡­ A vast number of Life Stars were being lit up simultaneously at this moment.


    As a Second Rank Life, the difficulty of Li Yuan¡¯s Life Star awakening was a whole level higher than when he was at the First Rank.


    Similarly, his spiritual power was also much stronger than before.


    ¡°Invisible guidance.¡±


    ¡°Perfect Star Vein.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s strong soul barely maintained consciousness.


    He himself knew.


    Among those tens of thousands of Life Stars that were almost awakened simultaneously, many belonged to already awakened Star Meridians¡­ and a large number of Life Stars belonged to unawakened Star Meridians.


    On two of the Star Meridians, when the last Life Star awakened, a total of 129,600 Life Stars came together, forming a sense of perfection.


    One less Life Star was flawed, one more was superfluous.


    Flawlessly perfect!


    This, was the new Perfect Star Vein.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The previously scattered, unstructured Life Stars, also reached the critical point of Star Vein awakening¡­ and began to circulate.


    This, was the awakening of new Star Meridians!


    ¡­


    In the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his body constantly radiating a hazy divine glow, occasionally enveloped by a strand of light circling around him.


    After a long while.


    The light converged all over his body, returning to normal, and Li Yuan opened his eyes.


    ¡°Eight hours?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness had always been clear, fully aware of his own changes.


    Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept directly over a line on the Divine Palace panel:


    [Star Meridian: 6 Star Meridians (10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+6 Layers+6 Layers+4 Layers)]


    ¡°The second Spiritual Guidance has completed the second and third Star Meridians into Perfect Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan marveled silently, ¡°and also greatly advanced the other Star Meridians.¡±


    The first Spiritual Guidance went from nothing to something, causing Li Yuan to awaken his first Perfect Star Vein.


    The second time, it was about completion! And it also awakened the sixth Star Meridian.


    ¡°It also awakened a large number of chaotic and unstructured Life Stars,¡± Li Yuan noted silently, ¡°bringing me much closer to awakening the seventh Star Meridian.¡±


    It could be said.


    The second Spiritual Guidance had effects that far exceeded Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°At the very least, I now have the foundation to cultivate three Supreme Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°In this regard, I¡¯ve already surpassed the Ancient Torch Divine.¡±


    The number of Star Meridians determines the upper limit of one¡¯s physical realm.


    The quality of the Star Meridians determines the upper limit of the Star Techniques.


    Among the civilizations in the Dimensional Domain, Nine Layers Star Veins are nearly mythical¡­ Now that Li Yuan has awakened three Perfect Star Veins, it would definitely cause a huge disturbance if word got out.


    Luckily!


    Star Meridians are inconspicuous and hard to detect, and as Li Yuan¡¯s own strength increases, it will become even harder for Demigods to spy on them.


    After pondering for a moment.


    ¡°Principal, I now have enough confidence that, once the treasure is in place, I will be able to match the Beast Emperor in a month,¡± Li Yuan chose to send a message to Fang Hai.


    Shortly thereafter.


    Fang Hai had already replied: ¡°Within three days, all the treasures will be delivered.¡± S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Three days?¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, and then resumed his focused cultivation, with the many intricacies of condensing the Star Mark of the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± emerging in his mind.


    ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± is an extension of the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± with the two being closely related.


    There are many similarities between their Star Marks.


    As a powerful individual who has grasped the Second Rank Star Marks of the ¡°Great Earth Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan found even the comprehension of the Mysteries of the Star Marks of the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± challenging, deep, and profound.


    ¡°So complex.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for my insight into the True Meaning of Earth, it would be almost impossible to succeed,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, patiently contemplating.


    He must fully grasp the Mysteries of the Star Marks before attempting to imprint them on the Life Star.


    Luckily, as long as he could replicate and imprint, there was no need for complete understanding.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation in the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    The outside world, the Seven Star Civilization, had begun a large-scale mobilization.


    ¡°Abandon Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°Evacuate! Dismantle everything useful, and evacuate.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t defend two bases at once, we will lose them both,¡± orders were issued one after another.


    Many Martial Artists of the Bright Moon Base were filled with reluctance, especially those who had been stationed at Bright Moon Base for decades, felt an even deeper unwillingness to leave.


    In their hearts, this place was their hometown.


    But the current situation left them no choice.


    ¡°Let¡¯s withdraw, concentrate our forces on Bright Moon Base, as long as we¡¯re alive, as long as we haven¡¯t given up, there¡¯s still hope of winning in the future.¡±


    ¡°Once we win the war completely, we¡¯ll return to Bright Moon Base,¡± many Martial Artists comforted each other.


    But in their hearts, most felt pessimistic.


    This past year, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s expansion in the Mingxu Star Realm went from victory to defeat¡­ especially the recent major rout, which greatly oppressed the spirits of countless Martial Artists, all shrouded in a sense of impending failure.


    Even the appearance of the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± slaughtering all directions, only stemmed this downward trend.

    Chapter 525: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_3


    Just one sentence!


    No matter how strong the Spirit Gun is, can it kill the Beast Emperor? Without the strength to defeat the Beast Emperor, victory in this Star Realm war is doomed.


    ¡­


    Day by day, a large number of First and Second Rank Martial Artists were withdrawn back to Xia Country.


    To preserve the fighting force.


    And the True Intent Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors, who were originally stationed at the Bright Moon Base, all arrived at the Bright Moon Base.


    This also caused the ¡°Flying Heaven Level combat power¡± of the Bright Moon Base to quickly reach 40.


    Inside the conference room of a Fourth-order Battleship.


    ¡°Tavares, Jiang Zai,¡± said the San Ye Semi Divine through the projection, ¡°you two need to think carefully¡­ Once you break through, you won¡¯t be able to retreat and will be trapped here forever.¡±


    ¡°The passage to the Mingxu Star Realm has just expanded, and it¡¯s nearly impossible to expand to a Third Level Star Realm in a short amount of time.¡±


    ¡°Semi Divine, I¡¯ve thought it through,¡± Tavares said in a low voice. ¡°To fully conquer this world, we need extremely strong Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ Li Yang, Lei Meng, they are average in realm and comprehension, even if given a hundred years, they might not reach the Flying Heaven Peak level.¡±


    ¡°Only we, once we break through, have a hope of reaching the Flying Heaven Peak within ten years, at least reaching Second Rank. By then, whether it¡¯s internal war or future defense, there will be no more challengers,¡± Tavares said.


    ¡°Someone has to take charge.¡±


    ¡°Moreover,¡± said Jiang Zai, ¡°the Mingxu Star Realm is vast enough to not be boring¡­ perhaps, one might even become a Semi Divine in the Mingxu Star Realm, and after many years, if our Seven Star Civilization has spread, perhaps we will be regarded as the ancestors of a realm.¡±


    San Ye Semi Divine and Tavares couldn¡¯t help but laugh at Jiang Zai¡¯s words.


    But upon careful thought, it was indeed possible.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°We aim to conquer the Mingxu Star Realm, and indeed we need strong people to make contributions,¡± San Ye Semi Divine said slowly. ¡°Rest assured¡­ the alliance will treat you fairly. After your breakthrough, there will be no shortage of cultivation resources for you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Semi Divine,¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai both said in unison.


    That same day.


    Tavares and Jiang Zai began to condense Origin Pills within the warship¡­ Once this step is taken, there¡¯s no turning back.


    ¡­


    September 6th.


    Li Yuan, who had been in secluded cultivation at the Bright Moon Base, finally received the news.


    He took the Star Realm passage back to Jiangnan Province in Xia Country.


    The world was still shrouded in misty rain, in the sky outside a war base.


    ¡°Principal,¡± Li Yuan greeted with respect.


    ¡°I always feel you have changed a lot in just a few days,¡± Fang Hai said with a light sigh, ¡°You always give us surprises.¡±


    ¡°Thanks to the principal¡¯s guidance and help,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°I won¡¯t take credit from Li Yang and Lie Feng Semi Divine. I haven¡¯t meddled in your path of cultivation,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile as he flipped his hand and handed over a Storage Treasure.


    ¡°Everything you need is in here, check it yourself,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t dare to be careless and let his Divine Sense seep into the silver sliver.


    He checked each treasure one by one.


    All were correct.


    ¡°Thank you, Principal,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I will certainly pay back these 500,000 Seven Stars Points to the alliance as soon as possible.¡±


    Li Yuan had no intention of taking advantage.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°These treasures are considered a gift I purchased and delivered to you,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile, ¡°Also as a compensation for the Visualization Method you gave me last time.¡±


    ¡°Visualization Method?¡± Li Yuan was a bit bewildered and asked, ¡°Principal, didn¡¯t you give me 30,000 points at that time?¡±


    ¡°Ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Do you really think 30,000 points can buy a Divine Visualization Method?¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s conclude this matter. These 500,000 Seven Stars Points are my compensation,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°You use these treasures to cultivate in peace¡­ Don¡¯t take unnecessary risks, and if you feel you can¡¯t defeat the Beast Emperor after completing your cultivation, don¡¯t force yourself.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Not long afterward.


    Watching Fang Hai leave, Li Yuan pondered for a long time, making sure there was no one around to sense him. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hum~


    Li Yuan disappeared into the mist and rain along the invisible fluctuations.


    Ancient Divine Palace, waiting in this area, Li Yuan had already sensed the presence of the Ancient Divine Palace upon his return to Xia Country.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, in the spacious hall.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere, and a girl in white slowly walked down from the void in the hall, puzzled, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back so soon? Is the war in the Mingxu Star Realm over?¡±


    ¡°Not yet.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve encountered some trouble,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m preparing to go into seclusion for a month, striving to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the Second Order Limit, and then go back to the fight.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, cultiva¡­,¡± the girl began to respond but suddenly realized the implication, ¡°All Things Divine Body?¡±


    ¡°Brother, have you awakened the second of the Nine Layer Star Veins?¡± the girl asked in shock, staring at Li Yuan, ¡°So soon?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just been cultivating methodically,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Before I knew it, the second Star Vein reached the Nine Layers.¡±


    Before I knew it?


    The girl fell silent.


    ¡°Fine, it¡¯s a good thing,¡± the girl showed a smile, ¡°Then go on and cultivate.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan turned and walked down a distant corridor, entering the ¡®Divine Crystal Chamber.¡¯


    The girl stood there.


    ¡°Really, he¡¯s cultivating the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯,¡± the girl inwardly sighed.


    She controlled the entire Ancient Divine Palace and could monitor every corner of it if she wished.


    ¡°Methodical cultivation?¡± The girl shook her head slightly, ¡°My brother must be hiding a big secret.¡±


    It was a common practice for beings to have hidden secrets, so the girl was not surprised.


    ¡°I just hope that such surprises come more and more,¡± the girl¡¯s lips curved in a slight smile, ¡°With such a high Star Vein talent, perhaps, once he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, he really has a hope to awaken the Eight Star Veins and cultivate the three Supreme Star Techniques.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s talent indeed exceeded Gu You¡¯s understanding.

    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.

    Chapter 526: Chapter 307: The New Perfect Star Vein! Concealed Cultivation (Extra Chapters 26, 27)_4


    Li Yuan sat silently, sensing the rich Divine Crystal Energy around him.


    ¡°Normally, a Prime Warrior has limited physical quality and can cultivate up to two Star Techniques at most,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°If I want to battle against Flying Heaven Peak elites, I must cultivate the fourth Star Technique to stand a better chance.¡±


    Therefore, the only option was to elevate the upper limit of his physical quality.


    ¡°I¡¯ve cultivated the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body,¡¯ which significantly enhances my physical quality beyond that of other Prime Warriors, allowing me to successfully cultivate the third Star Technique, ¡®Shadow Division Technique,''¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now, the only way is to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the limit of a Prime Warrior, to have a chance of cultivating four Star Techniques.¡±


    This was also why the Body Refining Star Technique was known as the ¡®Origin of All Techniques.¡¯


    It could enhance the strength, and even the potential, of a warrior in all aspects.


    Boom! With a wave of his hand, Li Yuan instantly made countless precious treasures appear.


    ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    Li Yuan began to channel the corresponding Star Technique¡¯s mystery within him, an intangible force acting upon the multitude of precious treasures.


    He started to absorb the essence contained within them.


    Even though Li Yuan had made thorough preparations,


    transforming the Great Earth Divine Body into the All Things Divine Body was destined to take a very long time.


    Transformation of the body couldn¡¯t be rushed.


    Being too hasty could easily lead to mistakes in cultivation, causing damage to the body or even leading to its collapse.


    Ten minutes later.


    Assisted by many rare items.


    ¡°The first, First Order All Things Star Mark!¡± Li Yuan successfully imprinted a Star Mark on his Life Star.


    Even if it was a Supreme Star Technique, since it was still a First Order Star Mark, it was relatively easy for Li Yuan to cultivate.


    In just one day, Li Yuan cultivated the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the First Order Limit.


    But there wasn¡¯t much change to his body.


    ¡°Second Order All Things Star Mark,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°This is the real challenge.¡±


    The difficulty of imprinting a Second Order Star Mark skyrocketed by more than dozens of times.


    ¡­


    As days passed, Li Yuan was deeply immersed in cultivation inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    The situation in the outside world was also changing.


    September 10th.


    At Tianliang Star, outside a Star Realm entrance.


    A group of powerful beings stood in the void, all emanating strong auras.


    The leader was a blonde man dressed in purple robes, with a high nose and sunken eye sockets, his eyes deep. He exuded a supremely domineering aura.


    A young man in black, with the weakest aura, stood by the side of the blonde man.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    The young man in black couldn¡¯t help but send a voice transmission, ¡°There¡¯s no need for someone of your stature to personally welcome the highly talented Lu Lei and Rolbis.¡±


    His teacher was one of the pinnacle existences of the Tianliang Civilization¡ªJin Liang Semi Divine.


    Now, he was one of the three great councilors of the Tianliang Civilization, his strength extremely frightening, absolutely at the peak of demigod existence.


    ¡°Fu Yuan, be patient,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine said slowly, ¡°Your talent far exceeds that of Yu Fu and others. Now you have reached the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage as a Prime Warrior¡­ But your temperament is far from adequate, still needing much polishing.¡±


    Fu Yuan was known as the number one Prime Warrior of the current Tianliang Civilization!


    In terms of strength, he was probably close to Jing He¡­ however, he hadn¡¯t participated in the great battle of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°Disciple will remember well,¡± replied Fu Yuan verbally, though not truly taking it to heart.


    Suddenly!


    Ripples spread across the distant curtain of light.


    ¡°Here it comes,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine¡¯s eyes focused slightly. Not just him, but the other demigods and Flying Heaven Peak elites around him also lit up with expectation in their eyes.


    Only Fu Yuan was clueless.


    Boom!


    A young man wearing black Combat Armor stepped out and emerged from the Star Realm gateway.


    As he appeared, it was as if the whole world changed for a moment, a brutal and bloody aura spreading rapidly, causing the complexions of the many Flying Heaven Warriors present to change dramatically.


    Fu Yuan, being the weakest, felt almost suffocated.


    The aura was too terrifying.


    Everyone had to admit, in the presence of the young man in black Combat Armor, even the formidable Jin Liang Semi Divine seemed markedly inferior. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Jin Liang, long time no see,¡± said the young man in black Combat Armor, his voice hoarse.


    ¡°Ye An, over the years, your strength has grown stronger,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine sincerely admitted.


    Boom!


    Fu Yuan¡¯s eyes widened in realization of who the person was!


    Ye An Semi Divine, the first demigod of the Myriad Demons Civilization, touted as the closest being to a god in their ranks.


    He had actually come?

 Chapter 527: 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior

    Chapter 527: Chapter 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior


    To Ye An Semi-Divine,


    Fu Yuan had heard of his legendary tales.


    The Tianliang Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization were originally from the same lineage, just as many Star Realms are completely interconnected.


    In a sense, the Tianliang Civilization is a sub-civilization of the Myriad Demons Civilization, and related rumors and messages are even more prevalent.


    The most famous battle of Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s legendary deeds was the one a hundred years ago, where the Myriad Demons Civilization invaded the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Ye An Semi-Divine also participated in that battle.


    In the end, he was the only one who survived an encounter with Dongfang Ji and managed to escape.


    Back then, Ye An Semi-Divine was mocked many times.


    But later, as Dongfang Ji grew ever stronger and his fame soared¡­ the battle with Dongfang Ji from those years, on the contrary, contributed to the fame of Ye An Semi-Divine.


    Now, Ye An Semi-Divine is universally acknowledged as the unparalleled existence amongst the demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Even Jin Liang Semi-Divine, held in high esteem within the Tianliang Civilization, far from compared to the other.


    ¡°I pay my respects to Ye An Semi-Divine,¡± said the group of Flying Heaven Peak Martial Artists, along with Fu Yuan, with a respectful salute.


    ¡°Ye An Semi-Divine,¡± the other demi-gods slightly bowed their heads, as a sign of respect.


    Among the demigods, the gaps in strength and status are also astoundingly large.


    Among the many strong ones present, only Jin Liang Semi-Divine had the qualifications to speak with him.


    ¡°Ye An, you¡¯ve actually come this time,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just a contest over a Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°If it were an ordinary Second Level Star Realm contest, indeed it wouldn¡¯t matter,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine said indifferently, ¡°But since Ming Mountain¡¯s treasures are involved, even the Eastern Demon Deity is quite concerned¡­ Thus, he has commanded me to come here and ensure the treasures are seized.¡±


    The Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses were slightly puzzled, but the demi-gods felt a chill in their hearts.


    Eastern Demon Deity!


    You must know that, similar to the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Myriad Demons Civilization internally has many divine kingdoms, each founded by a ¡®divine,¡¯ serving as an extremely ancient and powerful civilization with a long inheritance, with numerous divine kingdoms within the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But, divines do die!


    Many ancient civilizations, occasionally produce a divine, swiftly rising to power, but once the divine falls¡­ that civilization naturally declines.


    As for the Myriad Demons Civilization, divines are born generation after generation, always having a divine in power, hence its heritage is naturally unfathomably deep.


    The Eastern Demon Deity is currently the ¡®first divine¡¯ of the Myriad Demons Civilization, with an overwhelming might.


    Only such an existence, with a single command, could bring Ye An Semi-Divine here.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Within the Star Realm passage, three more figures emerged consecutively, following behind Ye An Semi-Divine.


    Their life force was very weak, yet they drew the attention of Jin Liang Semi-Divine and others.


    Second Rank Life?


    The numerous powerhouses of the Tianliang Civilization understood that if things were as usual, the super geniuses participating in the battle from the Myriad Demons Civilization this time should be these three.


    ¡°You three, meet Jin Liang Semi-Divine,¡± said Ye An Semi-Divine slowly.


    ¡°Lu Lei, I¡¯ve seen the Semi-Divine,¡± said the burly man in purple Combat Armor solemnly, his humanoid form boasted a torso covered in golden fur, giving him the appearance of a lion at first glance.


    ¡°Rolbis, I¡¯ve seen the Semi-Divine,¡± the handsome young man, oozing nobility, bowed. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xue Yan,¡± the last black-clad youth¡¯s demeanor was cold as he spat out two words and nodded slightly.


    He seemed quite arrogant.


    This scene made everyone present unconsciously look at him, causing a few demi-gods to frown.


    Too disrespectful.


    Even if a True Intent Prime Warrior seemed like a genius¡­ whether or not they can become a demigod is still up in the air.


    Jin Liang Semi-Divine is a Demi-God Peak Powerhouse.


    ¡°Xue Yan is an ¡®Inner Sect Disciple¡¯ of North Moon Deity, he has been in seclusion for a long time, so he is not familiar with etiquette, I hope everyone can forgive him,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine explained.


    The many demi-gods then understood.


    A divine¡¯s disciple? Not to mention already being an Inner Sect Disciple, even if only a nominal disciple, the status is also extremely high.


    Being impolite to demi-gods is somewhat normal.


    ¡°For this contest for Ming Mountain¡¯s treasures, Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s team will be led by Xue Yan, with Lu Lei and Rolbis as aids,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine said to Jin Liang Semi-Divine, ¡°What about you all?¡±


    To seize the treasures, elites are ultimately necessary.


    One top-tier fighter is worth more than a hundred mediocrities.


    ¡°One is my Direct Disciple, Fu Yuan, who has reached the Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank in the True Meaning of Metal,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine introduced Fu Yuan, who stood beside him, ¡°He¡¯s considered the best of this generation in our Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    Fu Yuan wore an obedient expression.


    ¡°Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank? Not bad, his skills are comparable to Lu Lei and Rolbis,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine nodded in acknowledgment.


    This caused a trace of excitement to appear on Fu Yuan¡¯s face ¨C it was an accolade from Ye An Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Within the Star Realm, our Tianliang Civilization has eight True Intent Prime Warriors, and an additional twenty Flying Heaven Martial Artists,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said, ¡°Out of these twenty, four have condensed True Intent.¡±


    ¡°Four True Intent Flying Heavens?¡± Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes showed a rare surprise.


    Flying Heaven Martial Artists within the Mingxu Star Realm had all just made their breakthroughs.


    This meant the four True Intent Flying Heaven Martial Artists were previously ¡®True Intent Prime Warriors.¡¯


    To keep so many top-tier geniuses within a single Star Realm?


    ¡°Jin Liang, you indeed have the courage. Aren¡¯t you afraid of losing everything?¡± Ye An Semi-Divine shook his head.


    ¡°Ming Mountain¡¯s treasures are worth it,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine replied.


    ¡°Besides, if you¡¯re sending divine disciples, why should we be afraid? You should be aware of our other request,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°To help you destroy the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s base in the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine nodded, ¡°You don¡¯t need to say it. If there¡¯s a chance to weaken the Seven Star Civilization, we naturally won¡¯t miss it¡­ I¡¯ve heard the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization has appeared, how powerful is he?¡±


    ¡°Based on the information we control, his power should be close to Second Level,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine stated gravely.

 Chapter 528: 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_2

    Chapter 528: Chapter 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_2


    He who was spoken of as level 34 wasn¡¯t lacking in star techniques, weapons, or anything else like the Chi Yen Beast King; instead, he was a level 34 powerhouse without any weaknesses.


    ¡°Close to level 34? That powerful?¡±


    ¡°Does that mean he¡¯s stronger than Fang Hai, who emerged from the Seven Star Civilization decades ago?¡± The Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, ¡°Is his strength due to his skill, or his star techniques? Are there any specific combat videos?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no combat video.¡± Jin Liang, the Semi Divine, said, ¡°Our assessment of his power is also based on hearsay¡­ Several days ago, he fought with the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ of the Mingxu Beast Clan, and the battle ended in a draw, with several Flying Heaven Beast Kings slain by his hand.¡±


    ¡°We can only judge from his fighting videos in the Rob Sea Star Realm that he seems quite adept at the ¡®Phantom Body¡¯ technique, and has cultivated a body refining star technique,¡± intoned Jin Liang, the Semi Divine.


    The news of Li Yuan¡¯s battle with the Chi Yen Beast King had already spread, and many were aware of it.


    Combat video? There were some, but the Tianliang Civilization hadn¡¯t gotten their hands on it.


    ¡°Xue Yan, are you confident?¡± Ye An Semi Divine turned to the proud youth in black.


    That single statement made it clear to the many demigods of Tianliang Civilization¡­ Xue Yan¡¯s strength was at least comparable to level 33.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen his combat video in the Rob Sea Star Realm,¡± Xue Yan said gravely, ¡°If it were at that time, I would be 70% confident in defeating him, but it would be difficult to kill him¡­ As for his battle with the Chi Yen Beast King, if he used the Phantom Body, it wouldn¡¯t be hard to force the Beast King to retreat.¡±


    ¡°Unless he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, his strength won¡¯t have greatly increased since his time in the Rob Sea Star Realm,¡± he added.


    ¡°Prime Warriors, unless they cultivate the Supreme Body Refinement Realm, always have their limits,¡± Xue Yan asserted seriously.


    ¡°If we meet,¡± Xue Yan continued, ¡°I¡¯m not sure I could kill him, but defeating him shouldn¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    Xue Yan, as a disciple of a divine being, had absolute confidence in himself.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± nodded Ye An Semi Divine. He held Xue Yan in high regard.


    Known to live for five thousand years, how vast were the lifespans of divine beings.


    Direct disciples were usually only taken a few in a lifetime.


    Although the status of Inner Sect Disciples was slightly lower than that of direct disciples, divine beings would still teach them earnestly.


    It was considered good to take an Inner Sect Disciple every hundred years.


    Considering Ye An Semi Divine wasn¡¯t able to become an Inner Sect Disciple of a divine being, it spoke volumes of Xue Yan¡¯s talents.


    He was heralded as a rare genius in the Myriad Demons Civilization over the past century.


    Using the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s evaluation standards, Xue Yan was definitely a ¡®Divine Child Level Genius¡¯; as long as he had time, reaching the peak of half-god status wouldn¡¯t be difficult, and he even had a slight chance of becoming a god.


    ¡°Lu Lei, Rolbis.¡± Ye An Semi Divine suddenly looked at the two of them and said softly, ¡°In line with the divine being¡¯s command, you should know what to do if the situation truly becomes dire, right?¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°We know,¡± Lu Lei and Rolbis both nodded without hesitation, both rising stars of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    However, compared to Xue Yan, they fell short, and they too were entrusted with a special mission.


    ¡°Jin Liang.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no time to lose, command them to move out,¡± said Ye An Semi Divine, ¡°The Seven Star Civilization will surely perceive the secrets of Ming Mountain¡¯s treasure and will make their move sooner or later.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Jin Liang, the Semi Divine, nodded and immediately turned to the youth in black beside him, ¡°Fu Yuan, remember, when you¡¯re in the Mingxu Star Realm, listen to Yu Fu¡¯s advice.¡±


    ¡°And above all, obey Xue Yan¡¯s orders.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The youth in black, Fu Yuan, felt stifled inside, but he could only agree verbally.


    ¡­


    Blue Star, Jiangnan Province.


    In the Ancient Divine Palace, within the Divine Crystal Chamber, radiant light filled the space.


    ¡°Whirrrr~¡±


    Surrounded by a vast array of treasures, under the influence of Li Yuan¡¯s powerful spiritual power and the operation of his methods, he continuously drew the essence out of these treasures, streaming non-stop into his body.


    Cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± involved two aspects.


    First, one must imprint a sufficient number of ¡®All Things Star Marks¡¯ on the star meridian so that once activated, the star meridian could greatly increase the body¡¯s strength, speed, and toughness in a very short time.


    Second, as the essence of the star meridian itself changes, even without activation of star techniques, the body¡¯s base strength would increase.


    A level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior, even without using any star techniques, would already surpass most top-grade Origin Martial Artists who burst forth with star techniques in basic strength.


    This is the essence of basic strength!


    The numerous rare and valuable treasures Li Yuan needed, which were worth hundreds of thousands of points, were primarily to propel his body¡¯s evolution.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Accompanied by the continuous imprinting of Second Order All Things Star Marks, Li Yuan¡¯s body began transforming.


    This transformation wasn¡¯t about becoming stronger, but about reinforcing the foundation.


    After all, the originally cultivated ¡°Great Earth Divine Body¡± had already made his base very strong.


    Finally!


    As if he had reached a certain limit, Li Yuan¡¯s muscles, bones, and skin¡­ truly began to grow stronger, and his life level began an all-round leap.


    ¡°Cultivating the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ has reached the Second Order, level 6,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve now completely surpassed the ¡®Great Earth Divine Body¡¯s¡¯ Second Order Limit.¡±


    The Great Earth Divine Body, as a Seventh Layer Star Technique, could only reach level 14 at its Second Order Limit.


    But the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± if cultivated to the Second Order Limit, could reach level 18.


    The gap widens with advanced star techniques.


    For instance, Third Layer Star Techniques could reach level 15 if cultivated by a Fifth Order Divine Being.


    Whereas the Ninefold Star Technique, if cultivated by a Fifth Order Divine Being, could reach up to level 45.


    It¡¯s a clear domination.


    This is also a major reason why matchless prodigies can fight across different levels.


    ¡°Ninefold Star Technique, known as the Supreme Star Technique, grants a special transformation upon reaching the limit of each order,¡± Li Yuan murmured internally, ¡°¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ significantly boosts harmony with the Earth Vein.¡±

 Chapter 529: 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_3

    Chapter 529: Chapter 308: The Ultimate Prime Warrior_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°The ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ is about transforming the body,¡± Li Yuan thought with anticipation of the scene where he would cultivate this Supreme Star Technique to the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°Chi Yen Beast King?¡±


    ¡°Just give me some more time,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, ¡°I¡¯ll see if your hide is still thick enough.¡±


    Additionally,


    ¡°The principal mentioned that the top geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization can also come to kill at any moment? The top geniuses of a Divine Civilization?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Although he had fought against the geniuses of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, as his horizon of knowledge expanded, Li Yuan also knew that the few Semi-Divine level geniuses he had killed were definitely not the top geniuses of the Immortal Ruins Civilization¡­ Just like Alicia and Kris from before, could they be considered top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization?


    But it is different at the Prime Warrior stage.


    The top geniuses will often remain at this realm for a long time, pursuing the awakening of more Star Meridians.


    ¡°I really want to see how strong they can be,¡± Li Yuan thought, harboring a killing intent.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization? That is, historically, the one that has inflicted the most severe disasters upon the Seven Star Civilization.


    And also the one with the deepest enmity against each other.


    ¡°Continue,¡± Li Yuan only flashed these thoughts through his mind.


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Several large warships were flying out from the main base of the Tianliang Civilization, streaking across the Vast Sky, and rapidly approaching the Bright Moon Base.


    Inside one of the warships,


    stood nearly thirty silhouettes, all exuding powerful auras, with more than half of them being Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Leading them were none other than Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, Lu Lei, and Rolbis.


    ¡°Yu Fu, my brother,¡± Rolbis was elegant, smiling as he said, ¡°You¡¯ve always been in charge of the war against the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Do you think we can win?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say,¡± the middle-aged man named Yu Fu shook his head, ¡°I know that everyone here is extremely powerful¡­ but we must not underestimate the Seven Star Civilization, they have given up the Mingxin Base, and all their forces are concentrated on the Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°If we really want to attack forcefully¡­ unless we have several Flying Heaven Peak warriors, otherwise, I estimate it will be difficult to win.¡±


    Furthermore!


    ¡°Besides the Spirit Gun, there is one more person from the Seven Star Civilization we must be wary of,¡± Yu Fu said solemnly.


    ¡°Are you going to mention Yu Jinghe again?¡± Fu Yuan snorted coldly, ¡°Yu Fu, I think you¡¯ve just been scared by that Yu Jinghe, despite breaking through to the Flying Heaven Realm, you don¡¯t seem to have the slightest bit of courage.¡±


    Yu Fu glanced at him and couldn¡¯t be bothered to respond.


    Yu Fu is one of the ¡®Saint Heirs¡¯ of the Tianliang Civilization and is also the strongest among the True Intent Flying Heaven warriors who had broken through¡­ but after his breakthrough, when he went to fight Yu Jinghe, he still lost.


    ¡°Stop arguing,¡± a cold voice rang out.


    The war room fell silent.


    The speaker was Xue Yan¡­ In less than a day since their arrival, everyone had already been subdued by his formidable strength.


    Even Yu Fu was defeated by him in three strikes.


    This is a very terrifying Prime Warrior.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived,¡± Yu Fu suddenly spoke in a deep tone, and with a wave of his hand, a huge projection immediately appeared in the center of the warship¡¯s conference room. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was an image of the Bright Moon Base.


    Everyone looked over.


    This one look stunned them all¡­ so many huge flying saucer warships.


    ¡°This many Fourth-order Battleships? Impossible!¡± Fu Yuan said in disbelief, ¡°Twelve of them? No way.¡±


    ¡°The recent reconnaissance showed only six Fourth-order Battleships,¡± Yu Fu was equally astonished.


    Fourth-order Battleships are terrifyingly powerful, and if they pursued Flying Heaven Warriors, naturally, they would fall short.


    But if they were to hold a defensive position, especially with so many¡­ even the peak warriors of the Flying Heaven realm would feel their scalps tingle upon seeing them.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Xue Yan said softly.


    ¡°Retreat just like that?¡± Fu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Lord Xue Yan, maybe those battleships are fakes.¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you take the lead and try out their authenticity?¡± Xue Yan glanced coldly at Fu Yuan.


    Fu Yuan fell silent.


    ¡°With so many Fourth-order Battleships, if they are all real¡­ even if we can forcibly take it down, how many will die or be injured?¡± Rolbis shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s not worth the loss. The first target is the treasure of Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡°If we can seize the treasure, then turning back to wipe out this base won¡¯t be a difficult task,¡± Lu Lei said in agreement.


    The three great geniuses from the Myriad Demons Civilization reached a consensus.


    ¡°Depart!¡±


    ¡°Heading to Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡­


    Within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°They¡¯ve retreated.¡±


    ¡°As expected, they¡¯ve retreated.¡± Inside the conference room of a warship, while watching the projection on the huge screen, the large group of warships was seen withdrawing.


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors and True Intent Prime Warriors present all breathed a sigh of relief.


    They had been under tremendous pressure when they sensed the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s mighty forces bearing down on them.


    ¡°Tavares, your advice was really timely,¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°How did you know that the Tianliang Civilization would launch an attack today, and even requested the alliance to urgently dispatch so many Fourth-order Battleships here?¡±


    ¡°I cannot say,¡± Tavares smiled mysteriously.


    Now, the highest commander within the Seven Star Civilization in the Star Realm was Tavares, who had broken through.


    In reality, Tavares was secretly sighing in his heart: ¡°The intelligence of the alliance is indeed accurate.¡±


    How did he know? Because Bai Shan Semi-Divine had directly told him yesterday: ¡°It¡¯s expected that this afternoon, the joint forces of the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization will come to attack. We must make them fearful and deter them from starting a major war.¡±


    ¡°`


    This intelligence capability,


    made Tavares suspect that a certain demigod within the Tianliang Civilization might very well be a mole for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡­


    Time flowed like water.


    The meddling of the Myriad Demons Civilization caused constant turmoil within the Mingxu Star Realm, and Li Yuan also learned much through messages.


    He was very anxious.


    But anxiety was of no use!


    Without sufficient strength, even if he emerged from seclusion, what could he do?


    Until September 18th.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber of the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, his body bursting forth with booming sounds, hazy halos of light emanating from his body and striking out in all directions, making him look like a divine being at first glance,


    Even.


    As the halos of light converged, a formless power spread, lifting Li Yuan into the air.


    He slowly opened his eyes.


    ¡°¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ I¡¯ve finally attained complete perfection.¡±


    ¡°Flight?¡± Li Yuan clenched his fists lightly, feeling the surging, vast power within him: ¡°The Supreme Body Refining Star Technique, once it reaches the Second Order Limit, can actually break the shackles of my body¡­ and reach Level 30.¡±


    Level 30 Prime Warriors do not need to borrow the power of heaven and earth; their bodies undergo a transformation and can naturally soar and burrow.


    That¡¯s right!


    As the source of all techniques, the Body Refining Star Technique enables practitioners to further break through their limits¡­ and the Ninefold Body Refining Star Technique is even more miraculous.


    Prime Warriors at Level 29.9, once they have cultivated it successfully, will undergo a fundamental transformation in the flesh, reaching Level 30.


    Even the Origin Power within them will undergo transformation under the nourishment of their powerful bodies.


    In short.


    The current Li Yuan, except for not having condensed an Origin Pill in the Sea of Source Energy, is almost no different from a true Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh~ Numerous beams of light converged, and a girl in white appeared out of thin air: ¡°Congratulations, little brother, you have achieved the ultimate state of a Prime Warrior.¡±


    It was Gu You.


    She had been silently observing Li Yuan, and when she saw that Li Yuan had succeeded, she could no longer sit still.


    ¡°The ultimate state of a Prime Warrior?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°Level 29.9 and Level 30, this step is like a chasm in the sky. So many so-called geniuses rely on their high perception, weapons, and treasures, etc., to dare to fight with Flying Heaven Warriors.¡± The girl smiled and said, ¡°Only one type of person is an exception.¡±


    ¡°That is the practitioner of the Supreme Body Refining Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°Once achieved, they remain at the Second Rank Life, but their foundation is on par with a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    ¡°This is the ultimate state of a Prime Warrior,¡± the girl said solemnly, ¡°With a strong foundation, you can completely cultivate more and stronger Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°If your perception of skills is high enough¡­ you can completely be on par with the peak strength of Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± the girl said with a smile.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    He truly felt the terrifying aspect of the Supreme Star Technique, no wonder countless divine beings longed to cultivate it.


    Before long.


    Li Yuan continued to cultivate two other Star Techniques, ¡°Nine Shadow Clones¡± and ¡°Wind Feather.¡±


    In fact, if there were better options, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t want to waste the talent of the third Perfect Star Vein.


    But, this was the best solution he could find for now.


    ¡°After ending the great war in the Mingxu Star Realm, I¡¯ll consider it,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Worst case, I¡¯ll pay some price later to recultivate the Star Technique.¡±


    Boom boom boom~


    A large number of precious treasures were taken out, and Li Yuan was amazed to find¡­ cultivating Second Rank Star Technique with the foundation of a Flying Heaven Warrior was much easier than he had imagined.


    ¡­


    September 21st.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    All his cultivation was complete, and Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.

    Chapter 530: Chapter 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)


    The void outside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Today, Jiangnan Province was treated to rare clear skies, the warm sunshine of late summer and early fall spilling over everyone.


    ¡°What a pity, if only I had a few more months or even half a year to advance my fourth Star Meridian from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh, I could¡¯ve directly cultivated the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Light Transformation.''¡± Li Yuan flew through the void, cloaked in his Phantom Spirit Garment.


    ¡®Wind Feather¡¯ and ¡®Light Transformation¡¯ are both Escaping Method Star Techniques that can greatly increase a powerhouse¡¯s movement technique speed.


    Movement technique speed is very important in combat.


    It¡¯s also a crucial part of Li Yuan¡¯s plans to learn.


    After all, despite Li Yuan¡¯s unprecedented strength now, he wouldn¡¯t dare claim certain victory against the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    In life and death battles, one must exert all possible effort.


    Therefore, before a battle, it¡¯s natural to strive for the greatest improvement in strength.


    ¡°This battle is urgent, thus I must appear in my strongest form,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    As for choosing to cultivate the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Ninefold Shadow Clone,¡¯ there was no issue.


    After all, he had already cultivated the Fifth Layer Star Technique ¡®Shadow Division Technique¡¯ on the completed third Perfect Star Vein; advancing to that logically correlated Seventh Layer Star Technique was only natural.


    And the future?


    ¡°Either find a way to discover a Nine Layers Star Technique that follows in line,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°or wait until I acquire another ¡®shadow class Nine Layers Star Technique¡¯ and pay the price to shift my cultivation.¡±


    For the moment, this Seventh Layer Star Technique was the most appropriate and fastest for Li Yuan to translate into combat strength.


    In fact, the Seventh Layer Star Technique was already incredibly powerful.


    Especially when combined with two Supreme Star Techniques, its potency was absolutely terrifying.


    ¡°Geniuses of Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± A cold glint swept through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he cultivated in seclusion.


    Occasionally, he would receive news and learn about many developments in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Li Yuan had already flown to the war base just outside the Star Realm passageway, surrounded by an expanse of weapon towers.


    This war base was a part of Xia Country¡¯s strategic plan to hold the line against an ¡®invasion from the Mingxu Star Realm.¡¯


    It was built on a grand scale, all according to the Rob Sea War Fortress standards.


    Before Li Yuan could get very close.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Two figures called out in succession.


    Following closely. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A slight distortion in the light nearby, and both a young man in black and an older man in white casual clothes appeared simultaneously.


    ¡°Principal, Elder Bai Shan?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face revealed a trace of surprise, ¡°Have you been waiting here this whole time?¡±


    How long had it been since he rushed here from the Ancient Divine Palace?


    ¡°You messaged us yesterday, saying you expected to enter the Star Realm today, so we¡¯ve been waiting here,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    He suddenly remembered Gu You mentioning before he left the Ancient Divine Palace that ¡®he sensed a Demigod-level Divine Sense making large-scale inquiries.¡¯


    A Demigod, if they were to meticulously search through every speck of dust in the void, in theory, could find the Ancient Divine Palace.


    But doing so would be exhaustingly tedious, and without knowing a rough location, no Demigod would undertake such a task.


    Now, it seemed likely that it was Bai Shan Semi-Divine who conducted a rough inquiry.


    With this in mind, a hint of wariness arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart¡­ while he trusted these elders, he also wanted to keep his secrets hidden.


    ¡°Confident?¡± Fang Hai directly asked.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded firmly, ¡°against Flying Heaven Peak warriors¡­ I have the power to fight.¡±


    Before leaving the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan had already sparred with a puppet operated by Number One in the Hundred Battles Arena and had a good grasp of his own strength.


    Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine exchanged glances.


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t trust you,¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine said seriously, ¡°but this matter is too important, and we need to ensure your safety.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Elder and Principal, do you want to test my strength?¡±


    Li Yuan felt warmth in his heart.


    These elders were indeed very considerate, concerned that he might act impulsively. They had specifically waited here to verify that he truly had the strength to sweep through the Mingxu Star Realm before letting him enter.


    ¡°Li Yuan, words alone are no proof.¡±


    ¡°Attack me and see,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan with a slight smile, ¡°Let us see what level the strongest Prime Warrior in the history of the Seven Star Civilization can reach.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine took a step forward and positioned himself at a distance to watch the fight.


    In the void, Li Yuan and Fang Hai stood facing each other from afar.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Principal, then I shall launch an attack, be careful,¡± Li Yuan nodded heavily, anticipation in his eyes.


    Fang Hai!


    Ever since high school, he had been hearing this name, only to later learn that this person was, in fact, his principal¡­ That assassination attempt by the Flying Heaven Alien Race, that drop of water that streaked across heaven and earth, had left an unforgettable impression on him.


    Though he had seen many Demigods by now,


    Li Yuan always had the feeling that if Fang Hai were willing, he could easily surpass many Demigods¡­ Just stepping into the threshold of the Law of Water was already astonishingly remarkable.


    ¡°Unknowingly,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve grown to the point where the Principal himself needs to test my strength,¡± Li Yuan thought proudly to himself.


    Step by step!


    In just over two years, Li Yuan had developed from a high school senior into a formidable presence.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan flipped his hand to grab the Black Chen Spear, and then his entire being burst into motion like a streak of light shooting across the vast sky, charging directly at Fang Hai.


    ¡°Not a bad speed,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes lit up; Li Yuan¡¯s instantaneous Burst Speed approached nearly six times the speed of sound.


    Such velocity, even among Flying Heaven Warriors, was considered exceptionally fast.


    Yet simply possessing this sort of speed was clearly not enough to convince Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai meanwhile stood still in the void, composed as ever.


    But in the next moment!


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan, who was in mid-flight, suddenly grew larger, instantly reaching a height of five meters. He was evidently using a Body Refining Star Technique¡­ but the powerful and domineering aura released made Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine reveal a hint of shock in their eyes.

 Chapter 531: 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_2

    Chapter 531: Chapter 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_2


    Too strong!


    At this moment, in their perception, Li Yuan seemed like a true Flying Heaven Warrior executing an extremely terrifying Star Technique, his might reaching the heavens.


    Whoosh! After the burst of the Body Refining Star Technique, Li Yuan immediately employed ¡°Wind Feather¡±, his already rapid speed soaring once again, surpassing eight times the speed of sound.


    In almost an instant, he had crossed a thousand meters of Vast Sky and arrived in front of Fang Hai.


    He drew upon the Mysteries of True Intent of both earth and wind.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A spear cut across heaven and earth!


    What a dazzling thrust it was, leaving behind a visible mark in the void, as if it were splitting the world in half.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Previously calm and collected, Fang Hai¡¯s face also showed a hint of seriousness in the face of Li Yuan¡¯s explosive thrust.


    He struck out with his palm. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whoosh~ With a flick of his fingertips, streams of water materialized out of thin air in the void, each stream subtly connecting to the mystical Laws between heaven and earth, converging together to form a massive water vortex in an instant right in front of him!


    ¡°Sizzle~¡±


    The Black Chen Spear pierced into the layers of water, feeling each layer containing astonishing resistance yet the entire vortex bearing a force of amazing suction¡­ The Long Spear only penetrated three inches before being completely bound.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Fang Hai lightly withdrew his palm.


    That invisible water vortex surged along with his palm, rushing in from all directions, as if to completely bind Li Yuan.


    Had it been an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, they would have likely been directly suppressed.


    ¡°Nine Shadows! Break!¡± Li Yuan suddenly roared, directly invoking the Seven Stars Technique ¡°Shadow Clone¡±.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Li Yuan, who was tightly bound by the water with the Black Chen Spear, exploded like his body was split apart, instantly creating eight shadowy figures.


    The moment they split, each of the eight Phantom Bodies possessed a certain amount of power and burst forth at the same time.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The water vortex shattered, and Li Yuan seized this instant of opportunity to withdraw his spear and fly out, with the eight original Phantom Bodies dissipating into the void.


    A hint of surprise flashed through Fang Hai¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Principal.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t attack again. With the last spear strike and splitting clones, he had completely revealed his strength.


    And this was not a real battle practice. For a spar between experts, one or two moves were enough.


    ¡°Haha, Fang Hai, you¡¯ve lost face this time,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a laugh as he flew over: ¡°You even invoked a hint of Origin Power, yet you still couldn¡¯t bind Li Yuan, who is still only a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, well done,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    Li Yuan listened obediently.


    During the spar just now, Fang Hai had only revealed a very small part of his strength, which was already beyond Li Yuan¡¯s reach.


    ¡°Is this kid really still a Prime Warrior?¡±


    Fang Hai smiled helplessly: ¡°Have you ever seen such an impressive Prime Warrior? Not to mention anything else, just his Spear Technique alone can rival a true Flying Heaven Peak Warrior.¡±


    ¡°If you count his Phantom Body and other methods¡­ I¡¯m afraid many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors might not be his match,¡± Fang Hai said with admiration, his gaze resting upon Li Yuan: ¡°Indeed impressive.¡±


    ¡°Truly on par with a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior?¡± Surprise flickered in Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes.


    Although he could sense that Li Yuan¡¯s last spear was extraordinary, he wasn¡¯t quite sure about the extent.


    ¡°Principal, I still have a long way to go. I¡¯ve only just reached the baseline of the Flying Heaven Peak,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    Li Yuan, having read through a lot of intelligence data and having discussed with Gu You, was very clear about the levels of the Flying Heaven rank, understanding that from Level 30 to 34, the evaluation of strength was relatively fixed.


    Only at the Flying Heaven Peak was there a vague concept.


    Normally, cultivating the body¡¯s Origin Power to Level 35, reaching the Intermediate Rank of the Sixth Stage in comprehension, possessing a Third Rank high-quality weapon, mastering two to three Fifth Layer Star Techniques¡­ These were the baselines of a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior.


    But!!


    Some geniuses, with body¡¯s Origin Power reaching Level 36 or even 37, whose technique comprehension was almost divine, and who cultivated Sixth Layer Star Techniques and even Seventh Layer Star Techniques¡­ they also belonged to the Flying Heaven Peak level. Were they the same as the former?


    Among Flying Heaven Warriors, the truly terrifying ones, like Fang Hai, had strength close to divinity, able to annihilate many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors with a single move.


    The legendary strongest Flying Heaven could even slay a Semi-Divine¡­


    Once, Li Yuan believed that Flying Heaven Peak Warriors were only a step away from Semi-Divine¡­ after all, at that time in his eyes, Flying Heaven Warriors were extremely powerful.


    But now, having truly stepped into this level, Li Yuan knew the differences of this level.


    Like Li Yuan, who now had his Life Level reach Level 30, relying on extremely strong Star Techniques, and armed with a spear technique close to divine level and a Semi-Divine weapon¡­ he barely reached the baseline standard of Level 35.


    Compared with the very top warriors among the Flying Heaven, he still had a long way to go.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be too modest,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°If you keep being modest, where do we old fellows put our faces?¡±


    Li Yuan smiled and stopped replying.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you can go to war,¡± Fang Hai said slowly: ¡°Remember, unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, don¡¯t expose your strength¡­ Being too dazzling isn¡¯t always a good thing.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart tightened.


    ¡°Principal, senior, then I¡¯ll be on my way.¡± Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, taking on the identity of a Spirit Gun, he quickly flew into the War Fortress.


    In the void.


    Fang Hai and Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at each other, their eyes conveying joy and a hint of shock.


    ¡°Did you guess it?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    ¡°The strongest Body Refining Star Technique!¡± Fang Hai said slowly: ¡°Apart from this scenario, I can¡¯t think of any other possibility¡­ unless he¡¯s stepped into the threshold of the Laws, but obviously not yet.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded.


    Both of their horizons were extremely broad and just through the brief exchange, they could swiftly deduce many details about Li Yuan.


    ¡°Do you think, does Li Yuan have a chance? Can he make it through the Ninth Leaf World?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine suddenly asked.

 Chapter 532: 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_3

    Chapter 532: Chapter 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_3


    ¡°The Ninth Leaf World?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of light; he had only just passed through the Sixth Leaf World.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°As a Flying Heaven Warrior, to slay a Demigod¡­ that¡¯s the legend of the favored son of heaven circulated by countless civilizations.¡±


    ¡­


    Passing through the Star Realm gateway.


    Half a month later, Li Yuan returned to Bright Moon Base, half a month sooner than he had anticipated for his training.


    Above the base, high in the sky.


    Ten Fourth-order Battleships had been waiting for a long time.


    Inside one of the battleships, there were ten figures, either Flying Heaven Warriors or True Intent Prime Warriors, all waiting quietly.


    Besides them, there were nine light screens projecting in different parts of the conference room, revealing several figures.


    Whoosh!


    A figure shrouded in black Battle Garment entered.


    In an instant, over thirty figures in the conference room shifted their gaze simultaneously.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is here.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up; they had all received the orders and knew that Spirit Gun was coming back.


    Especially those who had seen Spirit Gun before, at this moment, they felt that he had undergone some mysterious changes.


    ¡°Luo Chan, Tavares.¡± Li Yuan looked toward the two.


    In this battle, Li Yuan was the main force.


    Luo Chan and Tavares were in charge of commanding the many warships.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, ten battleships have already converged.¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°Besides, on the other nine battleships, each has two Flying Heaven-level combatants for support¡­ On our main battle vessel, there are ten Flying Heaven combatants.¡±


    ¡°Of course, that doesn¡¯t include you,¡± Luo Chan added.


    ¡°So that¡¯s ten battleships, with twenty-eight Flying Heaven-level combatants?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Is the base¡¯s reserve force sufficient?¡±


    With so many forces moving out, the guard force at Bright Moon Base would be unprecedentedly weakened.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Tavares said. ¡°If we leave too many behind, our attack force won¡¯t be sufficient¡­ We hope to strike at Ming Mountain and force the Mingxu Beast Clan to give up the passageway, otherwise there¡¯s no hope.¡±


    The other powerhouses all nodded, clearly sharing a similar sentiment.


    ¡°No need,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°leave two battleships behind, eight will be enough.¡±


    ¡°Eight?¡±


    ¡°Is that too few?¡± The powerhouses were somewhat hesitant.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t explain further, according to Fang Hai¡¯s orders, if he could avoid exposing his strength for the time being, he would.


    ¡°Alright, as per the Demigod¡¯s command, we¡¯ll listen to you,¡± Luo Chan agreed. ¡°Then we¡¯ll leave two battleships at the base.¡±


    ¡°Depart!¡±


    Soon, eight battleships tore through the Vast Sky, rapidly heading towards Ming Mountain.


    Not far from the Bright Moon Base, on the great land.


    Many hidden Second Rank Exotic Beasts were looking up at the eight battleships streaking across the void.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has made a move.¡±


    ¡°Eight battleships have already come killing this way, they¡¯ll reach Ming Mountain in at most four hours.¡± The high-ranking members of the Mingxu Beast Clan swiftly received the news from tens of thousands of miles away.


    The Mingxu Beast Clan was far inferior to the Seven Star Civilization and Tianliang Civilization in terms of technology. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But the Exotic Beast Tribes that spread throughout the Star Realm were the best Inquiry means.


    They also had some special communication methods.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is moving.¡±


    ¡°The target isn¡¯t us; it should be the Mingxu Beast Clan. They¡¯ve delayed so many days; they¡¯re finally acting.¡±


    ¡°Our top genius has already killed his way into the treasure land,¡± the intelligence department of the Tianliang Civilization received the message an hour later.


    ¡­


    Inside the fast-moving battleship.


    ¡°That is to say, the Mingxu Beast Clan has actually chosen to back down, wanting to cede tens of thousands of kilometers of territory to our two civilizations in exchange for peace?¡± Li Yuan listened with interest to Luo Chan¡¯s story.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°From many signs, the Mingxu Beast Clan is actually very fearful of our two civilizations, and they don¡¯t want to completely fall out with us,¡± Luo Chan said. ¡°It¡¯s just that they have no way out, so once we touch their bottom line¡­ they will act extremely crazily.¡±


    ¡°Ten days ago, the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s assault on Ming Mountain gave them a huge shock.¡±


    ¡°According to intelligence reports,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°it seems that the Flying Heaven Beast Kings under the command of the Three Great Beast Emperors have all converged near the lair of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    If the roles were reversed, if he belonged to the Mingxu Beast Clan, he probably would also act this crazily.


    But Li Yuan had little pity in his heart; racial conflicts left no room to sympathize with others.


    ¡°What was the outcome of that battle?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°According to the information we¡¯ve gathered from our Inquiry, they had a very fierce skirmish¡­ Ultimately, the Tianliang Civilization withdrew from Ming Mountain,¡± Tavares said. ¡°However, it appears that the Three Great Beast Emperors did not take action.¡±


    ¡°We suspect that the Three Great Beast Emperors are not at Ming Mountain, but in what they call the Divine Land.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly,


    Having been attacked by the Tianliang Civilization right up to their lair on Ming Mountain, if the Three Great Beast Emperors were still there¡­ the chances of them not engaging would be very slim.


    ¡°There has been no news from Yu Jinghe; it¡¯s very likely that he has broken into the Divine Land,¡± Tavares said. ¡°The so-called ¡®Divine Land¡¯ of the Mingxu Beast Clan is probably where the treasure on Ming Mountain is located.¡±


    Li Yuan listened as Tavares explained the latest situation.


    Yu Jinghe? No news for a month. If not for the Seven Star Civilization having a special way to confirm life and death¡­ they probably would have declared him dead long ago.


    The Mingxu Star Realm is only so big, no news from Yu Jinghe means he most likely fell into some mysterious place.


    ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± Luo Chan spoke softly, ¡°shall we first go to Zone 67 on the periphery of Ming Mountain, or¡­?¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Directly strike at Ming Mountain,¡± Li Yuan said quietly. ¡°Let¡¯s take the opportunity while the Three Great Beast Emperors are away, to seize all intelligence from the Mingxu Beast Clan.¡±


    If the Three Great Beast Emperors were at Ming Mountain, then Li Yuan would change his plan.


    Since it¡¯s highly likely they¡¯re not there, naturally, he wouldn¡¯t be courteous.


    ¡°Although the Three Great Beast Emperors are not there, there¡¯s still a large group of remaining Flying Heaven Beast Kings. There are dozens in the mid-stage of Flying Heaven,¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help saying.

 Chapter 533: 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_4

    Chapter 533: Chapter 309: Slaying Up Ming Mountain (Extra 28, 29)_4


    ¡°`


    ¡°I¡¯ll hold them off,¡± said Li Yuan with a faint smile.


    This confidence startled the surrounding powerhouses.


    They only knew that the Spirit Gun had been in retreat for cultivation, but how strong was it, exactly?


    It was a mystery.


    ¡°Moreover,¡± Li Yuan paused, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes, ¡°it¡¯s time to avenge Manong.¡±


    Tavares¡¯s eyes burst forth with a ray of light.


    ¡­


    Over three hours later, the eight swiftly advancing warships were gradually closing in on Ming Mountain.


    From tens of thousands of miles away, Ming Mountain didn¡¯t seem too massive.


    But now, it looked like a mountain that could hold up the sky, blocking out the sun, its countless green-covered mountains and rivers resembling another strange world.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    Luo Chan¡¯s face changed abruptly. ¡°The warship has detected an extremely powerful life force approaching¡­ It¡¯s the Flying Heaven Beast Kings! Many Flying Heaven Beast Kings are converging.¡±


    Boom, boom, boom~


    The eight warships simultaneously halted in the high sky, followed by the appearance of a huge projection screen.


    It was a scene from hundreds of miles away.


    As Fourth-order Battleships, sensing within several hundred miles was effortless.


    The projection showed a dense mass of enormous figures.


    All were Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    ¡°60¡­ 80¡­ 150¡­ 300¡­ Preliminary inquiry by the warship has detected 326 figures,¡± Luo Chan said, staring intently, her voice changing slightly, ¡°All are Flying Heaven Beast Kings.¡±


    ¡°Chi Yen Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Hei Guang Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Southern Bear Beast King.¡±


    ¡°Tian He Beast King.¡±


    ¡°According to the information we have, there are eight top-tier Beast Kings, suspected to be of the 34th level! All have come!¡± Luo Chan almost cried out.


    Inside the conference room, there was utter silence, and everyone felt a wave of chills down their spine.


    There were too many!


    Even with eight Fourth-order Battleships gathered, they did not feel safe.


    The number was astonishing.


    According to the intelligence they had, when the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s army had previously attacked Ming Mountain, they had not encountered such a terrifying array.


    ¡°It seems that the Mingxu Beast Clan has suffered from dispersing their strength against the Tianliang Civilization,¡± Li Yuan said, smiling, ¡°That¡¯s why they¡¯ve deliberately focused their aerial combat forces.¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    At a time like this, could the Spirit Gun still manage to smile?


    ¡°It¡¯s better that they¡¯ve concentrated,¡± said Li Yuan with a smile, ¡°It saves us the trouble of having to go find them.¡±


    Luo Chan, Tavares, Jiang Zai, and the others were increasingly astonished.


    To the Spirit Gun, the approach of a few hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings was a good thing?


    ¡°Exit the warships,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Right here¡­ with the green hills and clear waters, it¡¯s a feng shui treasure spot to bury them.¡±


    Boom~ The hatch opened.


    Li Yuan flew out first, the other powerhouses exchanged glances. Despite a touch of fear in their hearts, they all followed suit and flew out.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The eight Fourth-order Battleships formed a defensive system in the void of space, and twenty-five figures stood in the void, quietly waiting for the army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings to arrive.


    Li Yuan stood at the forefront of the entire army.


    With their vision, a hundred miles was completely clear to see. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    ¡°Human warships.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re not retreating?¡± Chi Yen Beast King, Tian He Beast King, and the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings had also long seen the scene within nearly a hundred miles¡­ The eight Fourth-order Battleships were quite conspicuous.


    Only tens of seconds later.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The mighty army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings had spread out, stopping about ten kilometers away from the warships in the void.


    ¡°`


    They spaced themselves far apart, ensuring that the main cannon of the warship wouldn¡¯t hit two of them.


    The main cannon of a Fourth-order Battleship was extremely powerful, and a direct hit would mean certain death for any Beast King, though the cannon took a very long time to charge.


    Facing such a large army of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most human Martial Artists felt the pressure.


    ¡°Seven Stars humans.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, do you really want to start a war?¡± a robust voice echoed through the Vast Sky.


    A massive black Flying Serpent emerged from the beast horde, its narrow and cold eyes fixed on Li Yuan.


    For a moment, both the hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings and the numerous human Martial Artists turned their attention to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hei Guang Beast King.¡±


    Li Yuan spoke with an indifferent voice, ¡°If you do not wish to start a war, that is also fine.¡±


    ¡°Then, hand over all the information about Divine Land and clear the entrance, allowing us free access in and out,¡± Li Yuan spoke slowly.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    ¡°Greedy humans.¡±


    ¡°They deserve to die.¡± The Chi Yen Beast King, the Southern Bear Beast King, the Tian He Beast King, and other top Beast Kings all roared angrily.


    They were both shocked that the secrets of the ¡®Divine Land¡¯ had been completely revealed, and filled with anger and a trace of fear.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, if you retreat now¡­¡± Hei Guang Beast King said somberly, making one last effort.


    He did not want to start a war.


    ¡°You do not agree?¡± Li Yuan looked down and shook his head, then suddenly raised it again, his eyes bursting with a cold murderous intent, ¡°Then go to hell!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Boom! In an instant, Li Yuan transformed into a terrifying streak of light and lunged directly at Hei Guang Beast King.


    Almost at the same time, a cold voice resounded in the minds of all human Martial Artists: ¡°Stay in place, protect the Warship.¡±


    ¡°Whir!¡±


    ¡°Whir!¡±


    ¡°Whir!¡± Accompanying Li Yuan¡¯s command, the eight warships¡¯ main cannons that had been ready to fire, unleashed their power simultaneously.


    Eight dazzling beams of light instantly streaked across the sky, each targeting a different Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Too fast!


    Silent and sudden.


    Even though the Flying Heaven Beast Kings had been on alert and continuously moving, three of them weren¡¯t quick enough to dodge and got their heads pierced, dead!


    The void fell silent for an instant.


    The next second.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Annihilate these humans.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Watching this scene unfold, the remaining hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings first froze, then a surge of uncontrollable anger and killing intent welled up inside them.


    Booming noises echoed as nearly all of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings instantly transformed into dazzling streaks of light, some howling as they charged toward the human Warships, others frantically attacking Li Yuan.


    Their hearts were filled with endless fury.


    ¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s seeking death.¡±


    Hei Guang Beast King led the charge at the forefront, his heart also full of killing intent, lunging directly towards Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The Chi Yen Beast King followed closely behind, his body ablaze with flames, like a War God incarnate.


    ¡°Hei Guang Beast King?¡±


    Li Yuan was the fastest, bursting forth in an instant, utilizing the All Things Divine Body to transform into a five-meter-tall figure holding a Long Spear, approaching Hei Guang Beast King like a bolt of lightning.


    Ten kilometers?


    They drew close within seconds.


    ¡°Roar~¡± The Hei Guang Beast King roared, huge wings obscuring the sunlight, opened its gaping maw, and viciously lunged.


    Whiz!


    In the brief moment of near contact, Li Yuan used ¡°Wind Feather¡±, his speed skyrocketing once again, becoming a streak of yellow light charging toward the gaping maw; immediately afterward, he swung the Long Spear¡­ A dazzling thread emerged between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.


    The Spear Light soared across a kilometer of the Vast Sky, seemingly slicing through heaven and earth.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The Hei Guang Beast King¡¯s head exploded in an instant, blood raining down from the sky, as Li Yuan¡¯s spear had pierced straight through its head.


    Hei Guang Beast King, Level 34! Dead!!

 Chapter 534: 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!

    Chapter 534: Chapter 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!


    A spear thrust, the top Beast King of the Mingxu Beast Clan renowned for over a hundred years, Hei Guang, fell!!


    ¡°What!!¡±


    ¡°Am I seeing things?¡±


    ¡°Is that Hei Guang Beast King, killed in an instant?¡±


    ¡°Even if the Three Great Beast Emperors came, they might not be able to do that.¡± The several hundred Beast Kings who hadn¡¯t yet joined the attack were completely stunned at this sight.


    You should know, after fermenting for half a month, the name of the Spirit Gun had already spread throughout the high levels of the Mingxu Beast Clan, and nearly all Flying Heaven Beast Kings knew that within the Seven Star Human Civilization, there was an extremely terrifying Second Rank Life ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ who could contend with the Chi Yen Beast King.


    The Chi Yen Beast King was the unanimously recognized strongest below the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    But!!


    The several hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings never imagined that even though they had highly estimated ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ they still underestimated him, a spear thrust, and the ¡®Hei Guang Beast King,¡¯ on par with the Chi Yen Beast King, was dead.


    ¡°Hei Guang!!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King was also somewhat dumbfounded, ¡°It¡¯s only been a little over a month, how could his strength have surged so much? In my perception, he was clearly a Second Rank Life.¡±


    ¡°Was he toying with me on purpose last time?¡±


    ¡°Or has he broken through to Flying Heaven?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s mind raced with numerous thoughts, but more than that, there was a tinge of fear.


    Because, other Flying Heaven Beast Kings might think ¡®Spirit Gun has reached the level of Beast Emperor,¡¯ but only a top-tier Beast King like Chi Yen understood.


    Beast Emperor? S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A Beast Emperor couldn¡¯t kill Hei Guang Beast King with one move! Spirit Gun, this is an existence that transcends Beast Emperors.


    ¡­ ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°My heavens!!¡± Luo Chan, Tavares, Jiang Zai, and other human Martial Artists on the eight distant Battleships, standing by in strict formation, already prepared for a desperate fight, were also somewhat dumbfounded.


    Almost in an instant.


    They all remembered the casual voice of Spirit Gun just now on the Battleship, ¡°Here with the green mountains and clear waters, it is a feng shui treasure land to bury them in.¡±


    At the time, none of them believed Spirit Gun, after all, no matter how amazing Spirit Gun¡¯s performance had been before, he was always just a Prime Warrior.


    When Li Yuan told them ¡®stay in place to protect the Battleship,¡¯ many even felt that Spirit Gun was being too arrogant and conceited, although they didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud.


    But now?


    ¡°Is he really a Prime Warrior?¡± Li Yang was inwardly shocked, ¡°Can a Prime Warrior be this strong? Even if it¡¯s Li Yuan, after ten more years of training, he probably won¡¯t catch up to Spirit Gun.¡±


    Li Yang had always thought that Li Yuan would surpass Spirit Gun in achievements, but now he was no longer sure.


    ¡°This Spirit Gun is really Li Yuan?¡± The only one who knew the truth, Luo Chan, was the most shocked, ¡°He¡¯s only 20 years old!¡±


    Luo Chan knew that after today¡¯s battle, the name, Spirit Gun, would likely be known to many Foreign Civilizations.


    But if the news that ¡®Spirit Gun is only 20 years old¡¯ gets out, that would truly be earth-shattering.


    ¡­


    This spear thrust had baffled all the powerful individuals in both camps, with only Li Yuan the calmest.


    ¡°A contender with only a third-grade inferior Battle Garment, who hasn¡¯t cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique, a level 34 powerhouse, dares to open its huge mouth to bite me?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s speed did not slow down at all as he pounced towards another Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Hei Guang Beast King had a great reputation, but as a kinsman of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, he was known for his speed among the various factions of the Mingxu Beast Clan¡­ When it came to frontal fighting, he was weaker among the eight top-tier Beast Kings.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Hei Guang Beast King was about equivalent to a typical level 33 human Martial Artist.


    If Hei Guang Beast King had focused on entangling combat and guarding his vital points, Li Yuan would¡¯ve probably needed a few more moves to take him down, but he delivered his head right to the Black Chen Spear¡­ one should know, Li Yuan considered himself to have reached the baseline of the Flying Heaven Peak, on par with level 35 Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    ¡°Several hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings?¡±


    ¡°Most of them are just at level 30, level 31.¡± Li Yuan had Divine Palace Inquiry, with one glance he knew whether these Flying Heaven Beast Kings were a threat to him or not.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Before the Long Spear arrived, a dazzling Spear Light spanned a hundred meters of the Vast Sky, piercing through the head of another Flying Heaven Beast King.


    Fallen!


    ¡°Without mastery of True Intent, at Flying Heaven Level, killing is too easy. Origin Power at Flying Heaven Level draws upon the power of Heaven and Earth, it simply cannot block my Long Spear¡­¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°No wonder, back then the principal from a kilometer away, invoked the Law with a single thought, killing that Flying Heaven Level Alien Race assassin.¡±


    To kill Hei Guang Beast King, he still had to get close.


    But to kill an ordinary Flying Heaven Beast King¡­ whether you concentrate True Intent or not, the strength will have an earth-shattering change.


    The ordinary Flying Heaven Beast Kings, let alone withstand the Black Chen Spear, couldn¡¯t even block a single Spear Light from Li Yuan.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Li Yuan swept with another spear, a terrifying Spear Light slashed across the Vast Sky, first piercing through the head of a Flying Heaven Beast King and immediately striking another Flying Heaven Beast King¡¯s body, critically injuring it.


    With one spear, one died and another was injured.


    ¡°For killing a Flying Heaven Level powerhouse, Spiritual Awakening Level goes up by only 0.1%, truly tough.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    During his previous clash with the Chi Yen Beast King, he noticed the two changes after the Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%¡­ First, killing First Rank and Second Rank Alien Races no longer provided Spiritual Nourishment.


    Second, it seemed that killing a Flying Heaven Level being only increased by 0.1%.¡±


    ¡°At this rate, I need to kill at least a hundred of them to advance to 60%.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°What about in the future, when the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening breaks through 75%? This is forcing me to kill Demigods in the future.¡±


    Slaughter!


    ¡°Continue.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s speed was astonishing as he went on a rampage against these Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    ¡­


    The great battle continued.


    The eight Fourth-order Battleships, after charging their main cannons, were also continuously firing, killing Flying Heaven Beast Kings one after another.


    At the same time, many Flying Heaven Beast Kings also attacked the Battleships, immediately engaging in combat with Tavares, Luo Chan, and others.


    However.


    The brightest and most ferocious battle on the entire battlefield was still in the region where Li Yuan was.


    After the Hei Guang Beast King and several other Beast Kings fell in succession.

 Chapter 535: 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_2

    Chapter 535: Chapter 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_2


    Other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, though shaken with fury and horror, immediately fell into despair¡­they all knew, there was no way out.


    If they retreated today, then the Mingxu Beast Clan would never recover, their only path lay in one word¡ªKill!


    Kill their way out! For their clan, for freedom, they strove to carve a path to survival.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°We must kill Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°If we don¡¯t kill him, our Mingxu Beast Clan will surely perish.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps he has used some secret treasure, which is why his strength is so formidable. He¡¯s only a Second Rank Life, no matter how strong his attack, his bodily defense must definitely be weak. As long as we can hit him¡­ he will certainly get injured, even to the point of death.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go for it! Fight with all we¡¯ve got!! Kill!¡± Hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, like moths to a flame, furiously launched their most frenzied attack on Li Yuan in the void.


    This was, undoubtedly, the most tragic scene in the thousands of years of the Mingxu Beast Clan!!


    And Li Yuan, too, erupted completely!


    Boom, boom, boom~ Whether it was the howling cold ice, the overwhelming flames, the gigantic wings whistling, or the claws striking violently.


    Or the collaboration of several Flying Heaven Beast Kings trying to block all space and completely trap Li Yuan at the center.


    For the fate of their clan, these Flying Heaven Beast Kings gambled with their own lives.


    But reality told these Flying Heaven Beast Kings, it was all in vain.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s domain exploded first. Having trained in the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± his Origin Power also underwent a transformation. Even without practicing Domain Star Techniques, by invoking the mysteries of the Wind and Earth True Intent, the domain he formed was terrifying in its might.


    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s domain, bearing countless attacks, contended with the Flame Domain of the Chi Yen Beast King, without falling behind in the slightest.


    The enormous scope of the domain limited the attacks from other Flying Heaven Beast Kings on Li Yuan.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±¡±Swoosh!¡±¡±Swoosh!¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t use Phantom Body, but relying on ¡®Wind Feather,¡¯ he could burst forth with a speed nearly eight times the speed of sound, surpassing any Flying Heaven Beast King. His figure was like a ghost, dodging the continuous combined attacks from a large number of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    No Flying Heaven Beast King could keep up with his flight trajectory; all attempts to surround him seemed futile.


    Then, it was a slaughter!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Spear Light after Spear Light streaked across the Vast Sky, breathtakingly beautiful. Every flash of Spear Light meant the fall of a Flying Heaven Beast King.

    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡± The massive bodies of Flying Heaven Beast Kings fell, shaking the earth, collapsing mountains and rivers.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most of whom were leaders of their respective clans, were no more than fodder before Li Yuan, merely one more spear thrust, or one less.


    ¡°The Southern Bear Beast King is dead!!¡±


    ¡°Tian He Beast King is dead!¡±


    ¡°Shadowless Beast King is dead.¡± One by one, the well-known top Beast Kings of the Mingxu world fell. These powerful Beast Kings¡¯ frenzied attacks did indeed pose a minor threat to Li Yuan.


    But it was just a minor threat and simply caused Li Yuan to thrust a few more times with his spear.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Die!¡± A roar thundered across heaven and earth.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying fiery giant palm, filled with endless rage, fiercely struck Li Yuan.


    It was the Chi Yen Beast King!!


    This Beast King, acknowledged as the most powerful beneath the Beast Emperors, in desperation and on the verge of death against Li Yuan¡¯s pressure, actually took that critical step¡ªreaching the Intermediate Rank of True Intent.


    The Chi Yen Beast King broke through.


    The breakthrough in technique instantly boosted the power of his attack, especially the speed, catching the previously at-ease Li Yuan off-guard and landing him a slap.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    Li Yuan was sent flying backward, the force behind that slap was incredibly terrifying.


    ¡°Hahaha! Impressive!¡± Li Yuan flew backward for over a hundred meters, his laughter echoing through the heavens and the earth: ¡°Chi Yen, you actually managed to injure me, impressive.¡±


    Despair!


    Not just the Chi Yen Beast King, but also the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings who witnessed this scene completely despaired.


    Struck by the Chi Yen Beast King post-breakthrough, Spirit Gun was only injured? And looking at Spirit Gun¡¯s condition, where did he seem wounded?


    They didn¡¯t know that after Li Yuan activated the ¡®Starry Coat¡¯ with Flying Heaven Level Origin Power, his defense was so strong that even standing still and taking a direct hit from a Fourth-Order Battleship¡¯s main cannon might not bring him down¡­ Just considering the ability to survive, Li Yuan was quite formidable even among the Flying Heaven Peak.


    ¡°Chi Yen.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡± Li Yuan streaked across as a beam of light, howling towards the Chi Yen Beast King.


    To Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, none of the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings posed as great a threat as the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Given the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s talent, once he lets his Origin Power break through to level 35, he might surpass even the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The Chi Yen Beast King also roared, his body rapidly shrinking to only ten meters tall, his Flame Domain quickly diminishing as well.


    Boom, boom, boom~


    Domains collided, and this time Li Yuan¡¯s domain was at an absolute disadvantage, constantly being pressured and dispersed.


    ¡°Not having practiced Domain Star Techniques, the gap in skills has not narrowed, there¡¯s also a gap in Origin Power.¡± It came as no surprise to Li Yuan that his domain fell to the disadvantage.


    Actually, when selecting the fourth Star Technique, Li Yuan hesitated.


    If he chose a Domain Star Technique, it would be more beneficial for straightforward battles, and also for binding enemies in group fights.


    But the Escaping Method Star Technique was more beneficial for survival.


    In the end, Li Yuan chose the latter.


    ¡°Shick!¡±


    The Black Chen Spear struck, effortlessly piercing through the Flame Domain, its power formidable.


    ¡°Die!¡± The downsized Chi Yen Beast King roared, making a fist with five fingers, invoking the Fire True Intent to cover his fist, and striking head-on at the fearsome spear thrust.


    The two terrifying forces collided.


    ¡°Peng!¡±


    The collision of the True Intent Origin Power was so extreme that the air seemed to be rapidly compressed, like a nuclear explosion, as the horrible shockwave surged in all directions. The mountains and rivers below for kilometers around collapsed, nearly turning into a flat wasteland of ruins.

    Chapter 536: Chapter 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°Chi~¡± The Black Chen Spear had viciously stabbed into that hard fist, piercing through the surface of the battle garment and entering the stony bone fingers.


    ¡°So hard!¡± Li Yuan frowned as he executed his second spear thrust.


    ¡°I¡¯ve shrunk my body and have a battle garment protecting me, yet even my strongest fist can barely withstand it?¡± The Chi Yen Beast King felt a chill in his heart, truly sensing the sharpness of the seemingly unimpressive black long spear.


    Its penetrative power was too terrifying.


    ¡°Peng~ Peng! Peng!¡± In a series of terrifying clashes, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was all blocked by the Chi Yen Beast King.


    This battle was like a replica of their last one.


    Just as the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings thought they saw hope,


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan moved and instantly revealed six phantom bodies within the layered domains.


    Shadow Domain!


    Li Yuan finally executed this ultimate move, but he still didn¡¯t use the ¡°Six Paths Illusionary Body¡± from the Seventh Layer Star Technique, which was his last trump card. It was not necessary to expose it against a single Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°Hu! Hu!¡± Six Li Yuans erupted simultaneously, stunning the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings who couldn¡¯t distinguish which was the real one, and at the same time, Li Yuan cornered the Chi Yen Beast King into a desperate situation.


    Divine Fist unleashed! Shaking the heavens!


    The Chi Yen Beast King could block one attack from Li Yuan¡¯s phantom, but couldn¡¯t keep it up forever¡­ Pu! The Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust straight, piercing the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± The battle garment was penetrated.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The terrifying might contained within the long spear erupted, instantly causing the layers of rock to burst open.


    One spear thrust had seriously injured the Chi Yen Beast King.


    Hu!


    With a mix of shock and rage, the Chi Yen Beast King finally retreated, trying to escape. But in front of Li Yuan, who had executed the Shadow Domain and the Star Technique ¡°Wind Feather,¡± where could he flee? He was injured time and again by the Black Chen Spear.


    The Chi Yen Beast King felt death drawing near.


    ¡°Escape!¡±


    ¡°Escape now!! Until the Spirit Gun leaves the Mingxu world, don¡¯t you dare show yourselves. Get as far away as possible.¡± The voice of the Chi Yen Beast King echoed in the minds of the more than two hundred surviving Beast Kings, the voice filled with despair and rage: ¡°As long as we live, there¡¯s hope for our Mingxu Beast Clan.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s hope!¡±


    Slit~


    Again, six long spears struck, and the one true Black Chen Spear avoided the Divine Fist, piercing the back of the Chi Yen Beast King, causing his injuries to worsen.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, come fight!¡± the Chi Yen Beast King roared out, void of despair in his eyes, now filled with a madness that accepted death.


    He understood he couldn¡¯t escape; the Spirit Gun would never let him, this great threat, go. But he would use his life to buy time for the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, to gain a chance at survival. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    To strive for some hope for the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    ¡°Escape!¡±


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Ahh~~¡± Many of the surviving Flying Heaven Beast Kings gave out grief-stricken roars, unable to bear witnessing the Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s fall, but they also understood that continuing to fight was pointless, and they began to flee in all directions.


    ¡°Hu!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, disregarding the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings and focusing solely on attacking the Chi Yen Beast King.


    ¡°`


    In Li Yuan¡¯s eyes,


    the threat posed by all the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings combined did not match that of the Chi Yen Beast King alone.


    Once the Chi Yen Beast King had time to practice the Body Refining Star Technique and accumulate power for a period¡­ Li Yuan admitted to himself that he would probably have to flee in panic.


    Whoosh!


    With the thirty-sixth strike of his spear, the body of the Chi Yen Beast King finally couldn¡¯t withstand the continuous assault and exploded with a bang, its Origin Pill shattered, leaving him powerless to fight again.


    But his head was still intact.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± With a command of his Domain, Li Yuan thrust his spear into the head of the Chi Yen Beast King following the wound.


    Splurch!


    The Chi Yen Beast King¡¯s head completely disintegrated from the inside and died!!


    ¡°Chi Yen is dead!¡±


    ¡°Escape.¡±


    ¡°As long as we survive, as long as we¡¯re alive!!¡±


    ¡°That Spirit Gun will sooner or later leave our world, and as long as we live, we can take revenge on the Seven Stars human civilization,¡± the Flying Heaven Beast Kings fleeing dozens of kilometers away thought, filled with grief and anger.


    They could only watch helplessly as the newly-advanced Chi Yen Beast King died.


    ¡°They¡¯re all fleeing?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept through the void, all the Flying Heaven Beast Kings were frantically escaping, and not a single Beast King dared to stay and attack the warship anymore.


    Everyone began to retreat.


    For a moment, the entire void seemed to quiet down, and Tavares, Luo Chan, and others who had just finished their battles in the distant cosmos held their breath as they watched this scene.


    In the void, stood the figure in black, holding a long spear like a War God.


    The ground had turned into a wasteland from the successive clashes, with only the carcasses of numerous Flying Heaven Beast Kings left behind.


    The shock in the hearts of these human Martial Artists was beyond words.


    Nearly three hundred Flying Heaven powerhouses besieged one Prime Warrior, and in the end, over a hundred Flying Heaven powerhouses perished.


    Over a hundred!!


    Though these Flying Heaven Beast Kings may be weak and possess neither good weapons nor Star Techniques, they were still genuine Sky-Flying Level lives, and some were as powerful as the ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯.


    And even though the Spirit Gun was extremely powerful, it was, after all, only a Prime Warrior!


    This battle was definitely a miracle.


    Not just a miracle of the Seven Star Civilization, but even if placed amongst the many Foreign Civilizations, Tavares and Li Yang believed it would surely be considered a ¡®legendary feat.¡¯


    Worthy of being passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!


    ¡­¡±Escape?¡±


    ¡°Pursue them!¡± Li Yuan did not immerse himself in the joy of victory; after assessing the situation on the battlefield, he gave orders to Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others.


    Although in the fierce battle just now, Li Yuan had killed six of the top eight Beast Kings and slaughtered more than a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    But there were more who had fled.


    Li Yuan was clear that, after this battle, these Flying Heaven Beast Kings would definitely not dare to gather again, but they would probably continue to hide, and their hatred for the Seven Star Civilization was profound.

 Chapter 537: 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_4

    Chapter 537: Chapter 310: Slaughter Countless! Forge a Reputation of Awe!_4


    Every day I stay in the Mingxu Star Realm, these Beast Kings will hide away, not daring to show themselves.


    But how long can I remain in the Mingxu Star Realm? Three years? Ten years? Sooner or later, I will have to leave.


    Therefore,


    killing one more now will reduce the future threat to the Seven Star Civilization!


    Exterminating them all is the correct approach.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Four warships form a group; ensure your own safety and strive to pursue and annihilate the enemy.¡± Tavares and Luo Chan immediately followed Li Yuan¡¯s orders and split off with the warships to hunt down their prey.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan was the fastest, directly charging towards the large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings fleeing towards Ming Mountain.


    In just tens of seconds, he caught up with them.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±¡±Whoosh!¡± Spear Light slashed in all directions, and one after another, the Flying Heaven Beast Kings fell.


    Seeing this, the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings fled even more frantically, with many diving into lakes and burrowing into the earth, trying to throw off Li Yuan and the other human Martial Artists completely.


    ¡­A quarter of an hour later.


    After a mad pursuit and slaughter of over fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings, Li Yuan completely lost track of the others.


    On the vast land, scenes of the aftermath of the great battle were everywhere.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Li Yuan stepped on the head of a giant four-hoofed Exotic Beast covered in purple scales and flew back to where the battle had initially erupted.


    In the void.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Eight fourth-order warships reconvened, Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others, having chased their targets to no avail, returned one by one.


    ¡°Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡± Respect filled the eyes of Tavares, Luo Chan, and Li Yang as they looked on.


    They too saw the massive four-hoofed Exotic Beast beneath Li Yuan¡¯s feet, its limbs severed and half of its head sliced off.


    ¡°Thunder Ray Beast King?¡±


    ¡°One of the top three Beast Kings under the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Thunder Ray Beast King?¡±


    ¡°Is this¡­ a surrender?¡± Li Yang, An Yongya, and the others showed shock in their eyes.


    Only Luo Chan and Tavares were somewhat calmer, as if they had anticipated this scene.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, esteemed human sirs.¡± The heavily injured Thunder Ray Beast King spoke with a hint of terror: ¡°I have always been providing you with information; I truly wish to cooperate with the great Seven Star Civilization and would willingly serve it forever.¡±


    ¡°Thunder Ray!¡±


    ¡°Stop your pretense.¡± Tavares sneered: ¡°You traded with us in secret simply to gain some cultivation resources, and we haven¡¯t given you few.¡±


    ¡°If you truly wished to submit, why didn¡¯t you surrender just now? During the battle, you didn¡¯t hold back at all.¡± Luo Chan said with a cold laugh.


    The other human Martial Artists suddenly understood.


    The Thunder Ray Beast King, it seems, was one of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s sources of intelligence from the ¡®Mingxu Beast Clan.¡¯


    In a sense, the Thunder Ray Beast King was a ¡®beast traitor.¡¯


    However, it survived to the end, while the other top Beast Kings all perished in battle.


    ¡°Thunder Ray.¡±


    ¡°I know you wish to cooperate with us.¡± Li Yuan said coldly: ¡°As long as you tell me everything you know, I will not kill you¡­ Otherwise, you should understand, I could have killed you just now.¡±


    Out of the eight top Beast Kings, only the Thunder Ray Beast King was spared by Li Yuan.


    ¡°The beast understands, understands.¡± The Thunder Ray Beast King nodded continuously.


    Having chosen to submit in order to stay alive, it naturally had no more bottom lines.


    ¡°I ask you.¡±


    ¡°Where are the Three Great Beast Emperors now? Where is the entrance to your Divine Land?¡± Li Yuan asked directly: ¡°Also, a human Martial Artist from my Seven Star Civilization went missing in Ming Mountain; do you know where?¡± sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°The last time the Tianliang Civilization invaded Ming Mountain, what agreement did you reach with them?¡± Li Yuan asked all in one breath.

    Chapter 538: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain


    ¡°The Three Great Beast Emperors should all be in the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King quickly said, sensing the killing intent from Li Yuan.


    Now that he had been seriously injured, he had no bargaining chips.


    ¡°Should?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    ¡°The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor will not inform me of his whereabouts,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King continued to explain, ¡°Under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I am far less trusted than Chi Yen and Hei Guang. Many secrets of the Divine Land are known to them, but the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor does not tell me anything.¡±


    ¡°As for the other two Beast Emperors¡­ I know even less.¡±


    Luo Chan and Tavares both nodded at Li Yuan.


    Gesturing that what the Thunder Luminance Beast King said was true.


    If he were trusted, the Thunder Luminance Beast King wouldn¡¯t have allied with the Seven Star Civilization so quickly.


    ¡°As for the entrance to the Divine Land.¡±


    ¡°I only know of one place, which is what you call ¡®the 67th area on the outskirts of Ming Mountain¡¯.¡±


    ¡°There are always a large number of Flying Heaven Beast Kings guarding there,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said somberly, ¡°Our Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s Flying Heaven Beast Kings¡­ once they reach the Flying Heaven Level, they can enter through that entrance, pass certain rank assessments, and after completing the contract ceremony to become so-called ¡®ordinary soldiers,¡¯ they can obtain a Star Technique and one to two Third Order weapons.¡±


    ¡°If they can become higher-ranked soldiers, it seems there are many special weapons and treasures¡­ but most Beast Kings can¡¯t achieve this.¡±


    ¡°Star Technique? Weapons?¡± Luo Chan and Tavares flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes.


    Only Li Yuan remained calm, for he had received many pieces of information successively gifted by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.


    In terms of understanding Ming Mountain, no human Martial Artist present could surpass him.


    Ming Mountain was most likely a fallen ¡®Divine Class Mothership¡¯.


    ¡°You should be able to see that most of our Flying Heaven Beast Kings have cultivated a Star Technique,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said with a wry smile, ¡°We can¡¯t create Star Techniques¡­ we obtain them from the Divine Land, and the same goes for the weapons.¡±


    ¡°Our Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s knowledge of cultivation is all derived from the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King spoke freely, no longer keeping anything back.


    He was well aware that even if he remained silent, it wouldn¡¯t take long for the Seven Star Civilization to figure everything out.


    ¡°That human Martial Artist you¡¯re referring to is the one who passed the assessments along that entrance and truly entered the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said.


    ¡°What assessment?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°The military rank assessment,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King answered, ¡°Most of us Flying Heaven Beast Kings can only become the so-called ¡®ordinary soldiers¡¯¡­ According to the Beast King, if one has sufficient strength and potential, there is hope of becoming an elite soldier and entering the Divine Land¡­ but the Chi Yen Beast King has always failed to do so.¡±


    ¡°Not to mention the other Flying Heaven Beast Kings.¡±


    ¡°However, that human Martial Artist managed it, and it is said he broke into the Divine Land,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King shook his head, ¡°His strength is probably not even a match for mine; I really don¡¯t know why.¡± S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan understood in his heart; indeed!


    Integrating the information about the Mothership provided by the Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Ji.


    The channel the Thunder Luminance Beast King mentioned was likely a trial area of the ¡®Mothership¡¯.


    The trials for Second and Third Order Lives are different; these Flying Heaven Beast Kings are among the weaker at the Flying Heaven Level and cannot pass the trials¡­ but Yu Jinghe was among the most powerful in the Second Rank Life.


    The potential is starkly different!


    ¡°It¡¯s not just that human Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Not long ago, Tianliang Civilization made a surprise attack, reaching the outskirts of the Heavenly Serpent Lake,¡± said the Thunder Luminance Beast King solemnly, ¡°Because it was a surprise attack, we didn¡¯t manage to gather so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings¡­ there were only thirty to forty at that time.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; this gathering of the Mingxu Beast Clan was likely due to the setback with Tianliang Civilization.


    ¡°Continue,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Within Tianliang Civilization, there is also a very fearsome Second Rank Life,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King recalled, then added, ¡°Of course, that person¡¯s strength is far from matching Lord Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Cut the nonsense,¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King nodded rapidly, ¡°He, too, was in black and his weapon was a blade. He seems to have comprehended the True Meaning of Fire¡­ In a fight with the Chi Yen Beast King, he held his ground, preventing the Chi Yen Beast King from getting the better of him.¡±


    ¡°The Chi Yen Beast King couldn¡¯t win?¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    So powerful?


    You should know, by Li Yuan¡¯s estimates, even if Yu Jinghe before his breakthrough, or Lude Nef had fought the Chi Yen Beast King, there was absolutely no chance of winning¡­ The mysterious powerful individual the Thunder Luminance Beast King mentioned must be the super-talented individual from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Originally, if we were to fight to the death, Tianliang Civilization might not have beaten us,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said gravely, ¡°but somehow¡­ the Hei Guang Beast King suddenly revealed the location of the entrance to them.¡±


    ¡°I suspect that the Hei Guang Beast King acted upon the Beast Emperor¡¯s command,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King said, ¡°For letting them in.¡±


    ¡°How could the Beast Emperor issue commands after entering the Divine Land?¡± Luo Chan snapped, ¡°Don¡¯t lie to us.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Orb!!¡±


    ¡°Each of the Three Great Beast Emperors controls a Spirit Orb, and all of us Flying Heaven Beast Kings have left a trace of a mark within the orbs¡­ with the Spirit Orbs, even if the Beast Emperors are in the Divine Land, as long as we Flying Heaven Beast Kings are near the orbs, we can still communicate with the Beast Kings,¡± the Thunder Luminance Beast King hurriedly explained, ¡°Likewise, if we die in battle¡­ the images from just before our deaths can seemingly be transmitted back to the Spirit Orb.¡±


    This statement changed the expressions of the group of human Martial Artists present.


    Such a strange treasure?


    If that¡¯s the case, then the Three Great Beast Emperors must already know of Spirit Gun¡¯s strength.


    However, Li Yuan was quite calm; in the vast universe and the extensive river of dimensions, there are many bizarre treasures.


    Like the ¡®Spiritual Lamp¡¯ that Gu You let him Refine, which is even more magical, able to confirm his life or death even across many planes.

 Chapter 539: 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_2

    Chapter 539: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_2


    If Ming Mountain truly was a fallen Divine Class Mothership with similar treasures, it wouldn¡¯t be strange.


    ¡°Therefore, in the end, the Tianliang Civilization retreated.¡±


    ¡°According to the Flying Heaven Beast King guarding the entrance to the Divine Land, those top powerhouses of the Tianliang Civilization should have also entered the Divine Land through that entrance,¡± the Raylight Beast King continued, ¡°Afterward, to avoid being defeated one by one, hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings under the command of the Three Great Beast Emperors gathered in one place.¡±


    ¡°Until you all arrived.¡±


    Time passed.


    Through the account of the Raylight Beast King, Li Yuan and the human martial artists present gained a deeper understanding of the Mingxu Star Realm and the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    ¡°Spirit Gun Sir.¡±


    ¡°Honorable Sirs, I have said all I needed to say,¡± the Raylight Beast King said with trepidation, in a low and humble voice, ¡°I hope to be spared my life.¡±


    Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others all looked to Li Yuan.


    Whether to spare the Raylight Beast King¡¯s life was up to Li Yuan¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°Raylight.¡± sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t been aware of many details beforehand, I might have been deceived by you,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°Your words, nine truths and one falsehood, are indeed formidable.¡±


    The faces of the human martial artists present changed drastically. Deception?


    ¡°Spirit Gun Sir, I would never dare to deceive you,¡± the Raylight Beast King said, his face flushed with excitement.


    ¡°That Spirit Orb, it¡¯s not only capable of communication over short distances but should also be able to communicate over extremely long distances, right?¡± Li Yuan said with a slight smile, looking at the Raylight Beast King, ¡°Right now, you must have been continuously communicating with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, trying every means to lure me to that Divine Land entrance.¡±


    Finally, the Raylight Beast King¡¯s complexion changed.


    He didn¡¯t wait to refute.


    ¡°Even more so,¡± Li Yuan continued, ¡°I guess you found the Seven Star Civilization so quickly, ostensibly providing information about the Mingxu Beast Clan¡­ probably also on the orders of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, right? To be of use at the critical moment.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I¡¯m not wrong, am I?¡± Li Yuan stared at the Raylight Beast King as if staring at the Beast Emperor lurking behind the scenes.


    Boom!


    The Raylight Beast King suddenly erupted, his body instantly radiating numerous violent thunderous lights. These bolts of lightning seemed to submerge all the human martial artists present.


    However, the Raylight Beast King suddenly lashed out, but Li Yuan was prepared, and his speed was even faster.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A terrifying Spear Light struck, piercing through layers of electricity in an instant, penetrating the Raylight Beast Emperor¡¯s already battered head¡­ His head exploded, and his body immediately fell powerlessly.


    The thunderous assault that had just been launched some few dozen meters suddenly diminished in power and was easily blocked by Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others.


    The Raylight Beast King, dead!


    Thus, the eight top Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan were all slaughtered by Li Yuan alone.


    The many human martial artists were all shocked as they looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, how did you figure it out?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°He was too eager.¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, to save his life, he should have been as reticent as possible about the secrets he knew.¡±


    ¡°To blurt everything out in one breath leaves him with no value; what is there to ensure his survival? Does he really believe in our promises that much?¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head.


    The crowd suddenly understood.


    ¡°Moreover, his lure was too obvious, repeatedly emphasizing that Divine Land entrance, as if he was hurrying us to venture there¡­ and he deliberately stressed that the Tianliang Civilization ventured there as well.¡±


    ¡°The key point is the Spirit Orb he mentioned.¡±


    ¡°If they can even transmit their dying images back¡­ it¡¯s impossible not to be able to communicate within the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°So, I had my suspicions and bluffed him. The result was that he couldn¡¯t hold back and exposed himself.¡± Li Yuan said.


    In fact, that so-called Spirit Orb.


    After pondering for a long time, it reminded Li Yuan of a treasure called ¡®Soul Crystal Ball¡¯ mentioned in the information provided by Dongfang Ji, which was a type of wondrous object convenient for a squad¡¯s soldiers to contact each other, barely considered a piece of technology.


    ¡°So, the Raylight Beast King was deliberately contacting us earlier?¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Perhaps, but they are all dead now, and there¡¯s no need to delve further into it,¡± Li Yuan said, shaking his head, ¡°No matter what plans the Mingxu Beast Clan had¡­ they have been thoroughly defeated in this battle.¡±


    ¡°The most threatening group of top Beast Kings is all dead.¡±


    As he spoke.


    Li Yuan looked down at the ruins below after the great battle, where many Beast King corpses lay, his gaze somewhat complicated: ¡°When the battle is completely over, when we have time, we should collect these Beast King corpses again and give them a proper burial.¡±


    ¡°To fight to the death without heed for one¡¯s own life, they, too, deserve respect,¡± Li Yuan said slowly.


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    According to the intelligence understood, the Mingxu Beast Clan actually came from different clans, who also fought and warred with each other in the past¡­ But facing the onslaught of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization.


    The Beast Kings from these various races united unprecedentedly in one place, fighting bloodily.


    But this is a civilization war!


    Li Yuan, Luo Chan, Tavares, and the others, for the power of the Seven Star Civilization, would not show mercy.


    On the contrary, they would eradicate all potential threats.


    Just as on Blue Star, during the era of the evolution of all beings, humans exterminated countless species and grew to become the most intelligent.


    Now, in the Dimensional Domain, many civilizations contend for supremacy, and over the past centuries, the numerous invasions faced by the Seven Star Civilization, even the great extinction once suffered by Feixing.


    It made Li Yuan, Tavares, and the others realize that if the Seven Star Civilization didn¡¯t seize every opportunity to grow stronger, they would die!!


    ¡­


    ¡°Spirit Gun, what should we do now?¡± Luo Chan inquired, ¡°Shall we go to area 67 on the outskirts of Ming Mountain?¡±


    The others also looked to Li Yuan.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the dwellings of the Three Great Beast Emperors. Especially the dwelling of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.

    Chapter 540: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°If there is only one entrance to the divine land in Area 67, wouldn¡¯t it be better for the Beast Emperor to build his lair there and be on constant guard?¡±


    ¡°Besides, if the Beast Kings under the Three Great Beast Emperors are to gather in one place, why must they congregate at the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s residence?¡± Li Yuan said.


    His words enlightened everyone.


    In reality, Li Yuan was able to think of so much, not because he was smarter than the rest¡­ it was simply because he had access to the most intelligence.


    ¡°Li Yuan, do you suspect that the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor is another entrance to the divine land?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°We¡¯ll know once we get there,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°In any case, we shouldn¡¯t head to the divine land entrance in Area 67 for now¡­ It¡¯s highly likely there¡¯s a Beast Emperor guarding the entrance on the other side.¡±


    Although he was not very afraid of the Three Great Beast Emperors, Li Yuan still preferred to play it safe.


    Since they were already behind the Tianliang Civilization by so much, there was no rush. Seeking haste sometimes isn¡¯t a good thing.


    ¡°Why do the Three Great Beast Emperors continue to hide within the divine land without coming out?¡± Li Yang pondered aloud, ¡°Like in the recent battle, if the Three Great Beast Emperors had been there, we probably would have been defeated miserably.¡±


    ¡°Either they have more important matters to attend to,¡± Luo Chan said, ¡°or¡­ they can¡¯t come out momentarily. There must be a reason.¡±


    The group nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Li Yuan said as he turned into a beam of light, taking flight toward the distant Ming Mountain. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom! Boom!


    Many human Martial Artists then flew into the warship, quickly setting off toward the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    The residences of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor were not completely confirmed by the Seven Star Civilization; only their general locations were known.


    However, the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, ¡®Heavenly Serpent Lake,¡¯ was clearly marked.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan and the others were in motion, deep within Ming Mountain at Heavenly Serpent Lake, the lake roiled massively.


    Splash~


    A nearly ninety-meter-long Qing colored Flying Serpent pierced through the clouds, its claws skimming the surface of the water, rapidly diving into the ancient palace at the center of the lake.


    ¡°Qing Sheng!¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng, have you returned?¡± Two Flying Serpents, one black and one white, flew out from either side of the palace. These two Flying Heaven Level serpents were responsible for guarding the Beast Emperor¡¯s palace on a daily basis.


    ¡°You should already be aware of the battle results,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King said with a pale face: ¡°They¡¯re all dead, Uncle Chi Yen is dead, Hei Guang is dead, Tian He, Nan Xiong¡­ they¡¯re all dead¡­¡±


    Among the group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s strength in direct combat was on the weaker side; he was, however, exceptionally skilled in flight¡­ added to the fact that Li Yuan did not know his identity.


    Thus, Qing Sheng Beast King had managed to escape with his life and rushed over immediately.


    ¡°We¡¯re aware.¡±


    ¡°The Thunder Shine Beast King also perished in battle just now,¡± the dark serpent somberly said: ¡°Qing Sheng, hurry inside; the Beast Emperor¡¯s projection is waiting for you in the main hall.¡±


    Qing Sheng Beast King nodded and flew into the main hall, where he saw a massive, sparkling sphere floating in the void of the hall.


    Below the sphere was a giant projection, distinctly that of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Father,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King spoke somberly.


    ¡°Do you remember the orders I gave you before?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor stared at his offspring.


    ¡°I remember,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King nodded hurriedly: ¡°Take the Soul Crystal Ball and stay far away from the warriors of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization¡­ and also inform the Tianliang Civilization about the power of the Spirit Gun.¡±


    On his way back.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had already communicated with him, revealing many secrets and instructing him on what to do.


    The most critical task was to take away the Soul Crystal Ball.


    However, once it was removed from the palace, the effectiveness of the Soul Crystal Ball would drastically diminish¡­ at least the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor would no longer be able to contact those Flying Heaven Beast Kings directly.


    This palace, paired with the Soul Crystal Ball, had been incredibly challenging to build.


    If he didn¡¯t take it away?


    It wouldn¡¯t be long before the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army arrived.


    ¡°Father, when can you and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor come out?¡± Qing Sheng Beast King asked reluctantly.


    ¡°Several exits have been sealed by those human warriors; now, the divine land is only accessible from the outside, not from within,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, his serpent eyes filled with coldness: ¡°We are trying to find a way to kill that human warrior Yu Jinghe and seize control of the divine land.¡±


    ¡°The several geniuses who entered from the Tianliang Civilization are also exceptionally strong. Although we lured and killed a few, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was also severely injured¡­¡±


    ¡°Anyway, you must flee quickly.¡±


    ¡°Also, activate the Origin Power Array beneath the palace¡­ If we can¡¯t ambush the Spirit Gun in that military passage, then lure him into this passage,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor said coldly: ¡°The divine land is a great temptation. As long as the top talents from these two civilizations enter, we can gradually kill them¡­ everything will not be an issue.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Father,¡± Qing Sheng Beast King responded.


    But his heart was somewhat uneasy; even his father, together with the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, couldn¡¯t kill all the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s geniuses¡­ What if an even stronger Spirit Gun entered?


    What would be the outcome?


    Hard to say! But at this point, there was no better plan.


    Shortly after.


    Qing Sheng Beast King took down the Soul Crystal Ball and swiftly left with the other two Flying Serpent Beast Kings.


    Soon after their departure.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± At the edge of the vast Heavenly Serpent Lake, spanning tens of kilometers, the land suddenly collapsed, creating a huge gap, and then a massive amount of water from the lake poured wildly through the gap, crashing down the cliff below.


    At first glance, it formed a colossal waterfall!!


    And the water level of Heavenly Serpent Lake began to drop rapidly, visible to the naked eye.


    ¡­


    Deep within Ming Mountain, in a vast hall supported by countless metal pillars.


    Two Exotic Beasts of enormous size were coiled there, their bodies exuding powerful auras.


    One of them, a Qing colored Flying Serpent surpassing a hundred meters in length and covered in scales like a Battle Garment, had a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

    Chapter 541: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_4


    ¡°Damn it!!¡±


    ¡°Is he really a Second Rank Life? Can Second Rank Life be this strong?¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor growled angrily, ¡°According to the training officer, the strongest Second Rank Life on the mothership back then wasn¡¯t this freakishly powerful.¡±


    ¡°Only the most exceptional prodigies from the prime civilizations, cultivating the strongest Body Refining Star Techniques and coupled with extremely high skill comprehension, could theoretically explode with the power of Flying Heaven Peak.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, ¡°Could he have become a Flying Heaven Level? Does he have a special secret treasure that can conceal his aura?¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent.¡±


    A somewhat weak voice sounded, speaking somberly, ¡°Now is not the time to fret over this.¡±


    ¡°In fact, you¡¯d better be thankful he isn¡¯t at the Flying Heaven Level, because otherwise, his power would rise swiftly, and he¡¯d need to stay in the Mingxu World for a longer time, in which case, we would definitely be doomed.¡± The feeble voice came from a peculiar monster that at first glance resembled an octopus, but its body was covered in a dense array of eyes.


    It was enough to make one¡¯s heart shudder upon seeing it.


    He was one of the Three Great Beast Emperors of the Mingxu Beast Clan¡ªThousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor fell silent upon hearing these words, ¡°Thousand Eyes, what should we do?¡±


    ¡°Wang Ling should take on the Elite Passage; he has a Six Star Pulse¡­ Among the three of us, he has the most hope,¡± said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor gravely. ¡°As long as he can make it through, he would be able to enter the Inner Layer, not only to catch Yu Jinghe¡­ but there¡¯s also a chance to gain control of the entire mothership.¡±


    ¡°If we could get control of the mothership, the Mingxu World would still be ours,¡± There was a slight excitement in the voice of the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Our task is to block the newcomers as much as possible, preventing them from entering the ¡®Alien God Area¡¯, and to buy as much time for Wang Ling as possible.¡±


    ¡°They are outsiders, without the bloodline of the prime civilization, and cannot go through the elite assessment; at most, they can only become ¡®auxiliary soldiers¡¯,¡± said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Easier said than done.¡±


    ¡°Those geniuses from the Tianliang Civilization before still made it through, didn¡¯t they? And they even wounded you,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, ¡°Although this mothership is our turf, those methods left by the Alien Gods before their deaths¡­ also guide these outsiders.¡±


    For thousands of years, generation after generation of Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan attempted to break into the interior of Ming Mountain.


    Most of them failed.


    It wasn¡¯t until the rise of the Three Great Beast Emperors that they truly broke into the mothership, learned the ultimate secrets of the Mingxu World, and realized how vast the outside world was¡­ However, their power was still too weak to even touch the core area of the mothership.


    Within the mothership, there were also those Alien God Areas¡­ The Three Great Beast Emperors thought they had enough time to slowly explore and strengthen themselves.


    Unexpectedly, the Star Realm passageway expanded.


    Seven Stars Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, all came killing their way over. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Do our best, that¡¯s all.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor shook its head, ¡°When the mothership was defeated in the great battle and fell into this Star Realm¡­ we were the remaining bloodline of the wreckage, not the true original life of the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°If your plan succeeds, that Spirit Gun should be coming in through passage number three.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor spoke deeply.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    At this point, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had no better plan, and the two Beast Emperors turned into streaks of light, moving through the vast metallic passages seemingly made for passage by exotic beasts.


    ¡­


    In the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s main base within the Mingxu Star Realm, inside an extra-large conference room.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°This has been transmitted by the Mingxu Beast Clan.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, he? This!!¡± The group of True Intent Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors were shocked as they looked at the scene in the projection.


    Dressed in black, wielding a Long Spear! Slaughtering one Flying Heaven Beast King after another.


    ¡°Reporting!!¡±


    ¡°Prime Warrior? Flying Heaven Peak strength? Even in the Myriad Demons Civilization, with a history spanning tens of thousands of years, such an unparalleled genius has never emerged!!¡±

    Chapter 542: Chapter 312: Fame Spreads to Foreign Domain


    ¡°`


    Such a major event occurring within the Star Realm meant that the commanders of the Tianliang Civilization¡¯s main base dared not take anything lightly.


    Immediately, the commander sent the news and the relevant battle footage to the demigods in the civilization¡¯s upper echelons.


    ¡­Above a sea near the ¡°Mingxu Star Realm Passage¡± on Tianliang Star, a super-large warship was hovering.


    Inside the warship¡¯s meeting room.


    When the images of battle appeared on the giant screen projection, all the Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room showed looks of shock, and even the faces of those few demigods changed.


    A Prime Warrior, facing hundreds of enemies alone, eventually killed more than a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings, and even that rather powerful ¡®Chi Yen Beast King¡¯ fell under his long spear¡­ Such strength was truly terrifying.


    ¡°A Prime Warrior can be this strong?¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be!¡±


    ¡°With Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power, his strength is definitely comparable to the peak of Flying Heaven. How did he do it?¡±


    ¡°Two months ago, during his battle with the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea, he was far from this terrifying.¡± Those Flying Heaven Warriors in the meeting room were whispering cautiously to each other, their voices unable to hide their shock.


    Such a powerful Prime Warrior was unheard of; they had neither seen nor heard of one before, and there was no record of one in the ancient texts.


    The few demigods exchanged glances with equally shocked expressions in their eyes.


    ¡°Jin Liang, is this your intelligence? Didn¡¯t you say that the Spirit Gun¡¯s strength was not beyond level 34?¡± Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s voice carried a hint of anger: ¡°To be able to kill the Chi Yen Beast King, he must be at level 35.¡±


    Jin Liang, a demigod with a full head of blond hair and dressed in purple finery, was also somewhat at a loss, shaking his head with a wry smile: ¡°Ye An Semi Divine, if I knew the Spirit Gun had such strength, would I dare compete with him?¡±


    Jin Liang the demigod also felt helpless; who could have foreseen the Spirit Gun¡¯s terrifying power?


    ¡°Compete?¡±


    ¡°Damn!¡± Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s eyes were ice-cold: ¡°Lu Lei is dead, leaving only Rolbis, Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, and a few others. Up to now, we still do not know how Lu Lei died.¡±


    ¡°Now, the Spirit Gun has revealed such terrifying strength. He will surely enter the Divine Land very soon, which is even more dangerous.¡±


    Thinking of this, Ye An Semi Divine felt waves of anger.


    Ten days ago, the Tianliang Clan¡¯s army attacked Ming Mountain. Before long, they extorted the coordinates of the entrance to the Divine Land located in the outer area of Ming Mountain, sector 67¡­ Soon after, Xue Yan led Lu Lei, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and a group of top geniuses into it, plunging into the interior of the Divine Land.


    But after entering the Divine Land, the Tianliang Clan also lost contact with these top geniuses.


    Fortunately,


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had a special method to confirm whether someone was alive or dead¡­ but soon after, it was shown that Lu Lei had died.


    ¡°Ye An, there¡¯s no need to worry too much.¡± Jin Liang the demigod spoke solemnly: ¡°There are only two possibilities for Lu Lei¡¯s death. The first is that there is great danger within the Divine Land, and the second is that they were attacked by the Three Great Beast Emperors¡­ All of the Three Great Beast Emperors should be at the Sky-soaring Pinnacle level.¡±


    When Lu Lei died, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine suspected that the Mingxu Beast Clan was playing dirty, but there was no way to confirm it.


    ¡°We already have the Three Great Beast Emperors.¡±


    ¡°And the Spirit Gun, his threat is indeed significant, but speaking of true strength, aside from faster speed, his attack capability should be similar to that of the Beast Kings¡­ Even if he enters the Divine Land, at most it will only make it more dangerous for Xue Yan, Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the others.¡± Jin Liang the demigod said: ¡°Furthermore, the Spirit Gun killing so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings, the Three Great Beast Emperors are sure to know¡­ He and the Three Great Beast Emperors are likely to battle each other.¡±


    ¡°There are advantages and disadvantages!¡± Jin Liang the demigod analyzed.


    Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice: ¡°At this point, all we can do is wait.¡±


    ¡°What I¡¯m worried about now is not just the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke slowly: ¡°But the future.¡±


    ¡°The future?¡± Jin Liang the demigod¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, such an exceptional freak, is even more monstrous than Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai!!¡± Ye An Semi Divine said softly: ¡°In the future, could he become a god?¡±


    ¡°Once he becomes a god, then the destruction of the Seven Star Civilization will truly be nearly an unreachable dream.¡±


    Silence ensued.


    The demigods all fell into thought.


    But the Flying Heaven Warriors present didn¡¯t have such deep feelings, first because their vision was not wide enough, and second because although the Tianliang Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization had been in continuous rivalry, there had never been a war at the demigod level¡­ It was always the Myriad Demons Civilization that truly wanted to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization is indeed getting stronger.¡± Jin Liang the demigod sighed lightly: ¡°In these decades, more and more Flying Heaven Warriors and demigods are being born, and there are many dazzling ones. First came Dongfang Ji, then Fang Hai rose in the middle, soon there was Li Yuan¡­ and now there comes an even more monstrous Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°All of these have the hope of becoming gods.¡±


    ¡°Just in a span of one or two hundred years, who knows where so many geniuses have come from.¡± Jin Liang the demigod shook his head.


    Thinking of this.


    ¡°Dolongke, go issue the order, to increase support for the Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s main base, and dispatch all of the Saint Heirs in the civilization¡­ Also send five more warships.¡± Jin Liang the demigod ordered.


    ¡°What about the other Second Level Star Realms, Third Level Star Realms¡­¡± That Flying Heaven Warrior hesitated.


    ¡°Priority goes to supporting the direction of the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Jin Liang the demigod said solemnly.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    As for the news about the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, Jin Liang the demigod and Ye An Semi Divine did not order a ban on its spread.


    Therefore,


    Among the higher-ups of the Tianliang Civilization above the Flying Heaven Level, the news spread quickly: ¡®Seven Star Civilization¡¯s ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯, as a Prime Warrior, erupted with the strength of the peak of Flying Heaven, slaughtering over a hundred Flying Heaven strong fighters¡¯.


    Similarly, many other Foreign Civilizations had secret channels within the high echelons of Tianliang, at least with information exchange pathways¡­ Faced with this explosive news, intelligence agents from various civilizations were shocked.


    ¡°A Prime Warrior? With the strength of Sky-soaring Pinnacle Combat Power?¡±


    ¡°This Spirit Gun, he¡¯s too powerful, who exactly is he?¡±


    ¡°We have no clues about him!¡±


    If it had been a Flying Heaven Warrior who had cultivated for many years suddenly bursting forth with such combat power, it would be just ordinary intelligence.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But if this was accomplished by a Prime Warrior, then it¡¯s defying the heavens.


    In terms of shock value, it¡¯s hardly less than a devastating battle between demigods.


    This also led to intelligence agents swiftly relaying the news of the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± back to their respective civilizations, especially those bordering the Seven Star Civilization¡­ With the power of the Spirit Gun, it could significantly alter the course of most Second Level Star Realms.


    ¡­


    Cloud Beast Civilization.


    The highest echelon of demigods convened the ¡°Saint Lord Meeting¡± immediately.


    The consciousness of each demigod descended upon that mysterious virtual domain.


    ¡°I believe you¡¯ve all seen the intelligence regarding the Spirit Gun,¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s meeting has just two items on the agenda,¡±


    ¡°First, is the discussion about whether or not to abandon the Rob Sea and two other Second Level Star Realms.¡± The voice of the Black Plow Demigod was somber, ¡°You should all be clear that facing the attack of the Spirit Gun, places like the three mother nests of beasts in the Rob Sea will have a hard time holding on.¡±


    Many demigods began to ponder.


    ¡°Speaker, these three Star Realms have been under our management for a long time, and we¡¯ve invested massive resources. How could we just give them up?¡± A demigod spoke gravely, ¡°The battle in the Mingxu Star Realm has not yet concluded, whether the Spirit Gun can return alive is still an unknown.¡±


    ¡°Exactly!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re anxious, but the ones who are truly desperate are the Myriad Demons Civilization; they will certainly try to kill the Spirit Gun. Maybe the Spirit Gun won¡¯t even have a chance to attack us before being eliminated by the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± another demigod chimed in.


    Clearly, most demigods were not willing to give up just yet.


    As time passed, and after deliberation, the highest level of the Cloud Beast Civilization reached a consensus¡ªif any of the Second Level Star Realms were to be attacked by the Spirit Gun, the other two would immediately begin full retreat.


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, has he really become so powerful?¡± Wudong Xue Demigod sighed inwardly.


    When he first received the intel on the ¡°Spirit Gun¡±, he was profoundly shocked as well.


    And at today¡¯s Saint Lord Meeting, he rarely kept silent.


    ¡°The second item on the agenda is concerning eradicating the Spirit Gun,¡± Black Plow Demigod spoke slowly, ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization, has just sent us a message¡­ hoping we can join forces to eliminate the Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Together? To collaborate?¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization poses a threat to us, but an even graver threat comes from the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization is akin to asking a tiger for its skin,¡± the many demigods conferred amongst themselves.


    Engaging in war with the Seven Star Civilization didn¡¯t necessarily mean that they were allies with the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Apart from relations like those between the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization, it¡¯s rare for different civilizations to have absolute trust.


    The relationships between different civilizations are extremely complex.


    Finally, with the strong advocacy of the Speaker Black Plow Demigod, the higher-ups of the Cloud Beast Civilization agreed with reluctance to utilize their intelligence network to the fullest, searching for any trace of the Spirit Gun, and if necessary, passing the information on to the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Although they were not keen on cooperating with the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization¡¯s higher-ups were more eager to kill the ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡­


    Time went on.


    Not only the Cloud Beast Civilization, but even the distant Immortal Ruins Civilization began to hear of a supreme genius ¡°Spirit Gun¡± born within the Seven Star Civilization, with a formidable record of battle.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, they no longer kept it a secret either; the news spread rapidly and they even took active measures to promote the dissemination of the information.


    ¡°Mingxu Star Realm, a grand victory!!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, in one battle, slew over a hundred Flying Heaven Level beings from an Alien Race.¡± Just these two pieces of news were enough to send the popularity of the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± skyrocketing, quickly reaching the ¡®top headlines¡¯ on the virtual network of the Seven Great Planets.


    ¡­Martial Divine Star Realm, at the palace atop Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°This ferocious?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, with Flying Heaven Peak strength?¡± When Duanmu Mountain Master received this news, he was somewhat befuddled.


    With many members of Seven Star Mountain convened in the Mingxu Star Realm, Duanmu Hong naturally paid close attention to the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm.


    With his privileges, he even obtained the battle footage.


    ¡°How did he do it?¡±


    ¡°Even with the foundation of a Prime Warrior, no secret treasure should enable him to exert such monstrous power, to annihilate a Beast King of level 34 in one move?¡± Duanmu Mountain Master looked at the intelligence, slightly bewildered, ¡°Is that really Li Yuan? Could I have guessed wrong?¡±


    It was too monstrous. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Duanmu!¡± A calm voice suddenly resounded in his mind, ¡°You should have guessed long ago that the Spirit Gun is Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡± Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s heart jolted.


    Only the Alliance Hierarch could bypass the palace¡¯s defenses and speak directly into his mind.


    His heart was filled with even greater shock; previously, he had only conjectured based on various clues.


    Now, it was confirmed.


    ¡°Warn again each Seven Star Mountain member who knows of this message, they are absolutely not allowed to leak it!¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s voice carried a trace of chill, ¡°Anyone who leaks the information will be deemed a traitor to the clan!¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s heart chilled.


    He understood the gravity of the situation; a Prime Warrior displaying Flying Heaven Peak strength was enough to astonish many Foreign Civilizations¡­ Now, if they were to also learn that the Spirit Gun is only 20 years old, they would likely go mad, and it would be normal for them to take any kind of action.


    A 50-year-old Prime Warrior achieving this is one thing, but a 20-year-old Prime Warrior doing so¡­ the difference is tremendous.

    Chapter 543: Chapter 313: The Alliance Hierarch¡¯s Observation! Two Pathways


    Not far from the Martial Divine Star Realm lay the mysterious Void Land, where Dongfang Ji spent his years in constant, solitary cultivation.


    ¡°He truly managed to do it.¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t in vain that I took the trouble to help him get the materials for the Body Refining Star Technique.¡± Sitting cross-legged in the void, Dongfang Ji let out a smile, ¡°It seems he truly has the hope of getting through the Ninth Mountain world.¡± Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Perhaps, in the future, he might even catch up to me,¡± said Dongfang Ji softly.


    It was as if he was talking to himself, yet also as if he was speaking to someone else.


    ¡°Master, I can¡¯t agree with that,¡± a deep voice suddenly said: ¡°It¡¯s true he might have the hope of getting through the Ninth Mountain world, but to catch up to you, Master? He¡¯s still far from it.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you, Master, want to¡­¡± the deep voice rambled.


    ¡°Ha-ha, you also shouldn¡¯t underestimate him,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head: ¡°Anyway, when it came to the Prime Warrior and Flying Heaven Warrior stages, I was definitely not as good as Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°But, Master, when you reached the Semi-Divine stage, you took the path of the unbeaten; cultivation isn¡¯t just about the present,¡± said the deep voice with certainty: ¡°The last time you took action here in this Dimensional Domain was almost a hundred years ago. In that battle, you killed dozens of demigods, easily slaying even those at the peak of demi-divinity.¡±


    ¡°How long had you been a demigod at that time? Less than ten years. Nearly a hundred years have passed. Who in the outside world knows your true strength now?¡±


    ¡°If not for the pursuit of getting through the Ninth Mountain world, as well as to protect the Seven Star Civilization, you could have broken through long ago,¡± said the deep voice with a hint of dissatisfaction: ¡°Now, some fools within our civilization actually believe this Li Yuan might catch up to you in the future?¡±


    Clearly, this deep voice held Dongfang Ji in the utmost reverence.


    ¡°Ha-ha,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed: ¡°You know, on the path of cultivation, one must never underestimate anyone.¡±


    ¡°Besides.¡±


    ¡°The birth of a genius like him within the Seven Star Civilization is a good thing for the entire civilization and for me,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a calm smile: ¡°Once Fang Hai breaks through, and after Li Yuan has grown a bit more, I¡¯ll finally be able to truly lay down the responsibilities I carry.¡±


    A hundred years ago, for the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji made many preparations, such as establishing the Martial Divine Hall, the reward and punishment system from top to bottom, and the Seven Stars Treasury, the Star Technique Treasury, and so on.


    After that, Dongfang Ji rarely paid attention to the internal affairs of the civilization.


    Even the many civilizations around him were no longer seen as a fatal threat.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization? They didn¡¯t dare to invade again.


    Even the ¡®North Moon Deity¡¯ of the Myriad Demons Civilization was conducting covert trades with him.


    However, Dongfang Ji was well aware that the might of a civilization cannot rest on one person alone.


    The strength of a civilization needed to be tempered, to grow through blood and fire.


    Therefore, for many matters, as long as they didn¡¯t threaten the foundation of the civilization, he just watched with detached interest.


    Let those Prime Warriors, Flying Heaven Warriors, and demigods fight desperately.


    Even with his own descendants, he did the same.


    If they wanted a life of peace, he would provide it, but if they wished to progress on the path of the Martial Path, then they should fight their way through.


    If they died? Then they would die!


    Even some of the crises facing the Seven Star Civilization, which he clearly could have resolved in advance, were left unaddressed.


    As long as the overall situation wasn¡¯t out of control, he would not intervene.


    Without crises, how could the entire civilization advance?


    The seeds had been sown; Dongfang Ji was just waiting for them to sprout¡­ Only when one has worked hard enough, displaying sufficient value, would he lend a helping hand.


    Like with Fang Hai, like with Li Yuan.


    ¡°That¡¯s true, the stronger they are, the better it is for you, Master.¡±


    ¡°I also look forward to the day they fully grow,¡± said the deep voice with anticipation: ¡°Then, I could accompany the Master to battle through the rivers of dimensions.¡±


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°There are two matters I need to report to you,¡± said the deep voice seriously: ¡°The first is that the planetary monitoring system I arranged on Blue Star has detected¡­ a force that has been repeatedly trying to infiltrate the virtual network mainframe recently.¡±


    ¡°They have launched multiple attacks, all of which I have blocked.¡±


    ¡°What force? From the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Dongfang Ji frowned slightly.


    The virtual network mainframe controlled the core secrets of a star, with a mass of secret messages, all within the mainframe.


    In terms of importance, it was comparable to that of a demigod.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°The techniques of the Myriad Demons Civilization aren¡¯t that sophisticated,¡± said the deep voice: ¡°These adversaries are unfamiliar, seeming to appear for the first time¡­ I keep trying to trace back to the source, but to no avail.¡±


    ¡°They seem to just be gathering information, without taking any dangerous actions.¡±


    ¡°Heh heh.¡±


    ¡°They certainly wouldn¡¯t expect that our planet¡¯s virtual network mainframe is of Sixth Rank standard,¡± said the deep voice: ¡°How could it be so easily breached?¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Investigate in secret, strive to track down their physical entity,¡± Dongfang Ji said in a low voice: ¡°If the Guardian Legion isn¡¯t strong enough, notify Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the others.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± said the deep voice.


    ¡°The second matter,¡± the deep voice continued: ¡°According to intelligence from a covert line within the Myriad Demons Civilization, there should be an assassination against Spirit Gun planned, with the initiation of a ¡®top-level undercover agent¡¯. ¡±


    ¡°Their strength should be comparable to a normal Flying Heaven Star Lord,¡± the deep voice said.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Star Lord? Is it an Alien Race assassin lurking in the Myriad Demons Civilization, or a traitor within our civilization?¡± Dongfang Ji frowned.


    ¡°The likelihood of a traitor is higher,¡± said the deep voice: ¡°But this aspect of intelligence hasn¡¯t been uncovered; it¡¯s being personally controlled by the Eastern Demon Deity.¡±


    ¡°Eastern Demon?¡± A cold light flashed in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    If there were any civilizations around the Seven Star Civilization that he still regarded as major threats, the Eastern Demon Deity would be at the forefront.


    ¡°`


    Unfortunately, Dongfang Ji could never find the right opportunity.


    ¡°Inform Bai Shan Semi-Divine of this message,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Also tell Fang Hai to be discreet and careful in their protection¡­ As soon as Li Yuan emerges, see to his safe passage to the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡­


    In the Blue Star, on the Europa Continent, there was an inconspicuous small city with a vast estate on its outskirts.


    Today, there was a grand celebration being held within the estate, a monthly banquet hosted by a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    The guests were all distinguished nobles from the Europa Continent or some powerful martial artists.


    ¡°Today, let us raise our glasses to the Star Lord, wishing him an early breakthrough to demi-godhood, becoming the towering pillar of our Seven Star Civilization,¡± said a middle-aged Caucasian man in a suit, lifting his glass with a smile.


    ¡°To the Star Lord¡¯s honor.¡±


    ¡°To the Star Lord¡¯s honor.¡± On the grass, the hundreds of attendees all toasted in unison.


    ¡°I thank you all,¡± the young Caucasian man seated at the head of the table said with a smile. As a Flying Heaven Star Lord, his actual age was nearly a hundred, but he could remain youthful if he so chose.


    Suddenly, the young Caucasian man felt something and said with a smile, ¡°Everybody continue, I have to leave for a bit.¡±


    He set down his wine glass!


    Whoosh!


    With one step, the young Caucasian man drifted away like a breeze for hundreds of meters, entering the distant castle.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s the speed.¡±


    ¡°That speed just now, it definitely reached the speed of sound, and yet there wasn¡¯t even the slightest sound,¡± many of the participating martial artists whispered amongst themselves.


    At the bottom of the castle, there was a secret room, empty except for a bed.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The young Caucasian man who had just stepped out no longer had any smile on his face. He flipped his palm and took out a completely black sphere. The sphere emitted strange fluctuations and a slight purple light shone through, which was rather sinister.


    ¡°Crack~¡± The black sphere suddenly burst and turned into a cloud of black fog.


    Rapidly,


    The black fog formed a shadowy figure that was partly visible and partly invisible, and an invisible will enveloped the entire secret room.


    ¡°Oh Great God!¡±


    ¡°Oh Great Master,¡± the young Caucasian man knelt down on the ground, the high and mighty Flying Heaven Star Lord now looked like a servant, his eyes filled with fervor.


    ¡°It has been long since I last awakened you,¡± said the shadowy figure in the black fog slowly, ¡°But this time, I need to activate you.¡±


    ¡°Master, please command me,¡± said the young Caucasian man respectfully.


    ¡°By any means you can think of,¡± the shadowy figure in the black fog said slowly, ¡°kill the Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°Master, once I make a move, I¡¯m afraid I will be hunted down by demi-gods,¡± the young Caucasian man hesitated.


    ¡°Correct!¡± the shadowy figure in the black fog looked at the young Caucasian man and said, ¡°That¡¯s why you only have one chance. After killing, flee immediately to the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ I will also try to create as many opportunities for escape as possible.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    ¡°I will do my utmost to complete the task,¡± said the young Caucasian man respectfully, clearly not the kind that simply sold out the interests of his race as a sleeper agent.


    It was more like his mind was completely controlled!


    ¡­


    Outside, the world was bustling with action.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army led by Li Yuan had not stopped for a moment.


    In less than two days,


    The Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army, based on the intelligence from the Thunder Light Beast King and past accumulated data, had preliminarily swept through the entire Ming Mountain.


    Every secret place belonging to the Mingxu Beast Clan, even the residences of the Three Great Beast Emperors¡­ all had been swept through.


    In this sweep, Li Yuan and his forces killed more than ten Flying Heaven Beast Kings they encountered.


    These Flying Heaven Beast Kings were simply unlucky; they never expected the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s army to conduct such a fast and thorough sweep.


    Of course, most of the Flying Heaven Beast Kings were already deep in hiding, most burrowing deep into the ground.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s great strength, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find them in such a short time.


    Heavenly Serpent Lake was shrouded in mist,


    However, compared to its past beauty, today¡¯s Heavenly Serpent Lake was in ruins, with much of its water having already flowed away.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± One after another, huge warships tore through the layers of mist, descending for the second time over the surface of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    More than ten powerful figures descended rapidly from the warships, standing above the surface of the lake, led by a black-clad man with a gun.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, are you really prepared to enter through the passage in Heavenly Serpent Lake?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Could it be a trap?¡±


    The others couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan.


    ¡°In the past two days, we have basically scanned the entirety of Ming Mountain, and we found only these two passages,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    One passage was located in the outer perimeter area 67 of Ming Mountain.


    The other passage was through Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    A little more than a day ago, when Li Yuan led the army here, they found nothing but emptiness, save for some first and second-rank Flying Serpents and an island in the heart of the lake.


    However, after thorough inquiry, Li Yuan and Luo Chan discovered a passage at the bottom of the lake.

    Chapter 544: Chapter 314: Entering the Divine Land! You Are from an Alien Race (Extra 30)


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°According to what the Thunderglow Beast King said, each of the Three Great Beast Emperors possesses a Spirit Orb, which corroborates with some of the information we¡¯ve gathered¡­ But we¡¯ve raided the residencies of the Three Great Beast Emperors and found none of the Spirit Orbs.¡± Luo Chan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The remaining Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan must have reorganized.¡±


    ¡°What the Thunderglow Beast King said can¡¯t be fully trusted.¡±


    ¡°The most crucial point is that the passage at the bottom of this lake was originally closed, but by the time we arrived, a large quantity of lake water had drained away¡­ The sealed array at the bottom collapsed on its own.¡±


    ¡°This is clearly a deliberate ploy left by the Mingxu Beast Clan, much like a trap.¡± Luo Chan looked at Li Yuan, ¡°If you enter, you might be in danger.¡±


    Everyone present fell into deep thought.


    What Luo Chan said made sense.


    ¡°Luo Chan,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°But there are two issues. First, aren¡¯t you implying that if those Flying Heaven Beast Kings hadn¡¯t intentionally revealed the passage, we wouldn¡¯t be able to detect it?¡±


    Luo Chan was rendered speechless.


    Indeed!


    Regardless of whether Qing Sheng Beast King and the others destroyed the peripheral Origin Power Array, the Seven Star Civilization would certainly conduct a thorough inquiry of Heavenly Serpent Lake, merely delaying things at most.


    ¡°Second, I don¡¯t have a choice,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°There are now only two passages, and compared to the passage at the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake, the other is far more dangerous.¡±


    ¡°If this passage is truly dangerous, and one would die upon entering it, why would the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor bother personally guarding this place?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t spell it out.


    Recently, he had received a message from Fang Hai: ¡°According to covert intelligence, the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization who entered the Divine Land via the ¡®Military Passage¡¯ around the periphery of Ming Mountain, some had perished not long after entering.¡±


    How did they perish? It was unclear!


    This was enough to indicate that both passages could be dangerous.


    Without more intelligence, Li Yuan had no choice but to gamble.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, should we wait a bit longer?¡± Li Yang suddenly said, ¡°Do we need to rush in like this?¡±


    ¡°Yeah!¡±


    ¡°We can completely continue pursuing those Flying Heaven Beast Kings outside.¡± Others also couldn¡¯t help but speak up.


    ¡°If the Three Great Beast Emperors keep hiding inside, shall I never enter?¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Without slaying them, can we be at ease claiming the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Give me and Jiang Zai enough time, and we are confident we can beat them,¡± Tavares said in a low voice.


    As a Prime Warrior who had made a breakthrough with True Intent, he believed that reaching the Flying Heaven Peak was not difficult.


    ¡°I believe that you might match the Three Great Beast Emperors in the future, even slay them, but how long would that take?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Ten years?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait that long,¡± Li Yuan sighed.


    Tavares opened his mouth but said nothing.


    Reaching the Flying Heaven Peak within ten years, he wasn¡¯t very confident about it.


    Naturally, he dared not make any bold claims.


    ¡°Moreover, I can wait, but can Yu Jinghe? Whether he can force his way out on his own¡­ that¡¯s a complete unknown,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°The geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization have already stormed in¡­ Do we let them run amok inside? If they seize some critical treasure, the outcome of this war is unpredictable,¡± Li Yuan slowly said.


    The other human Martial Artists present didn¡¯t know.


    But Li Yuan was very clear that anything could happen with a Divine Class Mothership.


    If the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization or the Three Great Beast Emperors took control of it and activated it¡­ then even a Demigod might not be able to withstand it.


    ¡°Entering this so-called Divine Land is indeed dangerous.¡±


    ¡°But if there was no danger, why rely on me?¡± Li Yuan said with a frank smile, voicing his true feelings.


    In the void, silence prevailed like a mute sparrow.


    Tavares, Luo Chan, and the others were lost in thought.


    In actuality, everyone knew, if ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ had not shown his heaven-defying combat strength, prompting the Seven Star Civilization leadership to resolve to fight¡­ facing the oppression of the Three Great Beast Emperors, the Seven Star Civilization might have already chosen to withdraw from the Mingxu Star Realm.


    In war, there are victories and defeats.


    Among the various Foreign Civilizations, the Seven Star Civilization is not considered one of the strongest.


    In the past, the Seven Star Civilization failed more than once in vying for star realms.


    For instance, in struggling over the Rob Sea Star Realm, they were constantly suppressed in battle, merely managing to maintain the defensive line.


    ¡°After I enter the Divine Land, you eight warships will return to the Bright Moon Base,¡± Li Yuan instructed, ¡°With the foremost Beast Kings slaughtered by my hand, even if the other Beast Kings band together¡­ breaking into the base won¡¯t be easy.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Tavares nodded.


    They all understood that the focus of this star realm warfare was no longer the vast territories of the Mingxu Star Realm, but the ¡®Divine Land.¡¯


    If Spirit Gun could succeed in killing the Three Great Beast Emperors within the Divine Land, that would be the true completion of a great achievement.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going in.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, layers of yellow and blue streams interwove around him, forming a domain with a diameter of about a hundred meters. The domain was the best for large-scale inquiry and could effectively provide early warnings.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The domain, laden with astonishing power, broke through the layers of water currents, protecting Li Yuan as he swiftly charged toward the bottom of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    Before long.


    ¡°The Origin Power Array that once concealed the lake bottom has been directly breached.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s realm and spiritual power were excellent, allowing him to sense the various fluctuations that were diffusing around him.


    ¡°This Origin Power Array must have been obtained by the Three Great Beast Emperors from the Mothership,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    An Origin Power Array, centered on the mysteries of heaven and earth, using Origin Power as its core and stabilized with various extraordinary items, could unleash tremendous power at critical moments.


    However, Origin Power Arrays are exceedingly rare; even demigods mostly don¡¯t utilize the mysteries of the universe with high efficiency.


    Just like storage treasures, which are easy for divine beings to create.


    But for demigods? It is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    What is difficult for others is not difficult for the accomplished.


    In fact, most of the Origin Power Arrays and storage treasures of the Seven Star Civilization were discovered in various ruins.


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch is indeed formidable, deducing that Ming Mountain might be a fallen Divine Class Mothership based only on its appearance and the scant information from the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan mused silently.


    The stronger he became, the more he could feel the unfathomable depths of Dongfang Ji¡­ Like before, the speed with which the latter collected the numerous materials needed to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ had surprised Li Yuan considerably.


    ¡°Passage.¡±


    Li Yuan finally reached the bottom of the lake, where it was extremely dark, but his powerful Divine Sense allowed him to scan hundreds of meters in all directions. What was key, however, was the bundle of light.


    This was a passage with a diameter of about a hundred meters, akin to a deep abyss.


    The passage emitted a hazy glow, preventing Li Yuan from seeing the space inside clearly.


    A tremendous flow of water was kept outside the passage by an invisible force.


    ¡°It does have some resemblance to the portals leading to Worlds within Worlds,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, recalling the scene when he first entered the World within Worlds in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.


    ¡°However, the surroundings of this passage seem to be made of metal,¡± Li Yuan sensed. ¡°It should all be the outer shell of a Mothership. According to the information provided by the Alliance Hierarch¡­ the entire Divine Class Mothership is forged into a single entity by the Origin Power Array, and even a demigod would have to attack thousands of times to breach the shell.¡±


    These Mothership shells may not be on par with Semi Divine Artifact materials, but through the combination via the Origin Power Array, they become incredibly sturdy¡­ Li Yuan had already tried and couldn¡¯t shake them in the least.


    He observed for a while longer. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Enter!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan passed through his Domain and fell into the strange passage below.


    Above the lake.


    ¡°We¡¯ve lost the trace of the Spirit Gun,¡± Tavares spoke solemnly. ¡°He has entered the Divine Land.¡±


    ¡°He went in?¡±


    ¡°What about his life signs?¡± the others hastily asked, very apprehensive.


    ¡°According to the ¡®Life Crystal¡¯, there is no immediate danger to his life,¡± Tavares spoke solemnly. ¡°However, he just entered, and it¡¯s still too early to say for sure.¡±


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, there¡¯s a special Secret Treasure called ¡®Life Crystal¡¯ that can confirm the life or death of living beings within close proximity.


    If one dies, then the Life Crystal will shatter.


    Yu Jinghe had refined a Life Crystal before entering, to determine his life or death status.


    Li Yuan, not long ago, also refined a Life Crystal, then left it aboard the Fourth-order Battleship.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Without the Spirit Gun, we are very vulnerable now,¡± Luo Chan said softly. ¡°Better to quickly return to the Bright Moon Base, stand firm, and wait for news from Yu Jinghe and the Spirit Gun.¡±


    Soon after, eight Warships swiftly departed from Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    ¡­


    After falling into the glowing strange passage.


    Li Yuan felt a flash before his eyes and found himself in an immensely vast hall, the height of the hall was probably more than ten kilometers, and the diameter was even dozens of kilometers.


    This could no longer be called a hall, it was more like a small-sized space.


    ¡°Completely cast from metal?¡± Li Yuan held his breath, the huge space had an exceedingly smooth floor.


    Fully forged from metal, without even a speck of dust, everything seemed brand new.


    At the same time, there was a faint light shining from all sides of the space, making the whole area as bright as day, with nothing obscured.


    ¡°Passage?¡± After the initial shock had passed, Li Yuan immediately saw that there were more than a dozen passages not far away.


    At the depths of each passage, there was a shimmering light curtain, making it impossible to see what lay beyond.


    ¡°This should be the assembly square,¡±


    Li Yuan had information and quickly deduced: ¡°In the past, the powerhouses of this Mothership must have gathered here before advancing through the passage I just traversed.¡±


    ¡°If that passage were fully opened, it should stretch not just one hundred meters, but thousands or even tens of thousands of meters.¡±


    You see.


    According to the information provided by Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, a Divine Class Mothership could reach thousands of kilometers in length, fully capable of serving as a foundation for a civilization¡­ sailing the endless starry seas for eons.


    Ming Mountain is possibly just the half of that Mothership that crashed into the ground.


    ¡°Which passage should I choose?¡± Li Yuan wondered silently.


    Hum~ An invisible force suddenly swept across the void, its power was so strong, and its approach so swift, that Li Yuan had no chance to dodge.


    Layer by layer of inquiry!


    It was akin to scanning.


    In the next moment, without giving Li Yuan time to react further, boom! An abundance of light abruptly congealed high in the space.


    Countless beams of light converged to form a giant black Flying Serpent Phantom, covered with heavy scales.


    Even as a phantom, it emitted an immensely powerful aura.


    ¡°Flying Serpent?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly and a sense of vigilance surged in his heart.


    ¡°Alien Race!¡±


    ¡°You dare to trespass our clan Mothership; do you wish to die?¡± The massive black Flying Serpent Phantom loomed over Li Yuan.

 Chapter 545: 315: A Mirror? Guidance of the Alien God

    Chapter 545: Chapter 315: A Mirror? Guidance of the Alien God


    Looking at the giant Flying Serpent in the void.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart startled at first, but he quickly calmed down, thoughts racing in his mind, ¡°Since Big Brother Yu and prodigies from the Myriad Demons Civilization could enter the Mothership alive, there¡¯s no reason I would be an exception.¡±


    One significant reason Li Yuan dared to burst in directly was the precedence set by others.


    If those who entered before had all died, Li Yuan would not have taken the risk.


    ¡°This Phantom, it must be a type of auxiliary detection intelligence of the Mothership, just like the ¡®Fourth-order Battleships¡¯ of my Seven Star Civilization, which also carry out preliminary checks when personnel come and go.¡±


    ¡°Besides, did he say ¡®want to die¡¯?¡±


    ¡°If it wanted to thoroughly kill me, there would be no need for such trouble, it could simply kill me directly,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In an instant, Li Yuan realized¡ªthere was a chance for life.


    ¡°Elder,¡± Li Yuan immediately called out loudly, ¡°I just entered unintentionally and did not mean any offense.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°In the past, any soldier not of our Alien Race who breached the Mothership would be killed,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom¡¯s voice was ice-cold, ¡°However, since the Mothership has crashed, according to the commands left by our clan elders and the Alien Gods¡­ any life that enters the Mothership, as long as they are not enemies of our race, can be given an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°Clan elders? Alien Gods?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, could it be that there were two forces within this Mothership?


    ¡°Elder, what opportunity?¡± Li Yuan respectfully asked.


    ¡°If you are willing to become a soldier of our race and undertake the corresponding responsibilities, you may live,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom looked down at Li Yuan.


    ¡°What responsibilities?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Simply become a soldier, the responsibilities will not be too great,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom spoke gravely, ¡°Choose now, either die or become a soldier.¡±


    ¡°Become a soldier,¡± Li Yuan said helplessly. Was there really a choice?


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°If you were a Third Order Life, it would be very easy to qualify as a soldier,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom slowly said, ¡°But you are just a Second Rank Life, for now, you can only serve as a reserve soldier¡­ Most Second Rank Lives are hard-pressed to become Third Order, therefore, a necessary assessment is required.¡±


    ¡°If you are not strong enough, and fail the assessment, you cannot even become a reserve soldier,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom glanced at Li Yuan, revealing a hint of sharp teeth, ¡°If you fail, then you must die!¡±


    Li Yuan, for his part, was not panicked; this was within his expectations.


    Previously, the Thunderlight Beast King had mentioned that even if one took another path as a soldier, one would still need to undergo necessary assessments to receive teachings in Star Techniques and weapons


    ¡°Elder, what is the assessment?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Look over there,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom pointed not far off in this space.


    Hum~ Hum~ The originally smooth ground started to coalesce out of thin air with a large amount of silver liquid, which gathered and rose, forming an almost transparent silver mirror in mid-air.


    At the top of the mirror, there was a row of quite noticeable black Crystal Stones that at first glance looked like a row of display lights.


    ¡°A mirror?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°Your trial is very simple, exhibit your full strength and attack this silver mirror,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom said softly, ¡°Do you see the ¡®test lights¡¯ at the top of the mirror? If your attack can light up three lamps, then you have passed the test.¡±


    ¡°If you can light up six, you can skip the status of reserve soldier and be directly granted the status of an ordinary soldier,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom continued.


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    If six lamps lit up, it would signify possessing the strength of the Flying Heaven level, naturally granting him the status of an ordinary soldier.


    ¡°Begin.¡±


    ¡°You may use any combat weapons, Star Techniques, and the like, but the use of Origin Power Weapons is not allowed,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom spoke deeply. ¡°You may also attack multiple times, within one minute, as long as your strongest attack can light up three lamps.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded, unwilling to waste further time.


    Just one minute.


    Boom!


    With a mere thought, Li Yuan had transformed into a five-meter-tall figure with a robust aura spreading around him, already having employed the ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡± He then took hold of his long spear, and with a thunderous leap, he turned into a streak of light, dashing towards the giant silver mirror.


    In an instant, Li Yuan¡¯s speed erupted beyond six times the speed of sound, clearly having used ¡°Wind Feather¡±; the faster the speed, the more terrifying the power of his Spear Technique.


    ¡°Earth! Wind!¡± Li Yuan invoked the Mysteries of True Intent with all his might.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A dazzling Spear Light swept across hundreds of meters, surrounded by an elusive aura of True Intent Domain, further intensifying its terror as it struck the silver mirror like lightning.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    A horrific burst echoed. Contrary to Li Yuan¡¯s expectations of lighting up eight or nine lamps¡­ the giant silver mirror exploded on impact.


    Li Yuan himself, due to the powerful recoil, was sent flying back, feeling soreness throughout his body.


    Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh! Countless fragments of the silver mirror shot in all directions, filling the space with numerous sharp collisions.


    Immediately after, as these fragments touched the smooth ground, they melted back into the surface, vanishing without a trace.


    The testing lights simply dissipated as well.


    The space fell silent.


    ¡°Elder?¡±


    Li Yuan turned his head toward the dumbstruck Flying Serpent Phantom and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Does this mean I¡¯ve passed the test?¡±


    The Flying Serpent Phantom was silent for a long time, complexity flickering in its eyes, before it finally sighed, ¡°Yes, being able to shatter a Second Rank Silver Mirror directly indicates that your attack power has reached level 35¡­ Naturally, you¡¯ve passed.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity you¡¯re from an alien race. If you were of our bloodline, with such formidable strength at Second Rank, following the elders¡¯ instruction, you might have had the chance to inherit the ¡®Chief¡¯s¡¯ position and take charge of the entire Mothership.¡± The Flying Serpent Phantom sighed, ¡°What a pity indeed.¡±


    The Chief¡¯s position? A thought stirred in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Before Li Yuan could ask more,


    ¡°Qiu Zunbing, why aren¡¯t you coming over?¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom looked toward the distant void.


    Li Yuan was slightly shocked. There was someone else here?


    Whish~ A multitude of light converged, forming another phantom in the void: a towering figure over three meters tall, clad in heavy armor resembling the people of Blue Star, except his head sported a single black horn. His gaze toward Li Yuan¡­ made Li Yuan feel an inexplicable pressure.


    Li Yuan faintly felt that this horned figure seemed even more terrifying than the Flying Serpent Phantom.


    ¡°Qiu Zunbing, you¡¯ve seen this kid¡¯s strength yourself,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom said, looking at the other, and began, ¡°We¡¯ve also conducted a preliminary check and it seems he¡¯s only 20 years old.¡±


    ¡°As for the talent of his Star Meridian, capable of cultivating a Body Refinement Realm to such power at Second Rank¡­ I need not say more.¡±


    ¡°In summary, he¡¯s a good seedling. It¡¯s up to you to seize the opportunity.¡± The Flying Serpent Phantom nodded and continued, ¡°If he weren¡¯t lacking our racial bloodline, I would never have let him go to you.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, I understand,¡± the horned towering figure nodded.


    ¡°Kid, what¡¯s your name?¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Li Yuan said. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this fellow with the rough-looking face is Qiu Zunbing, also an ¡®Alien God Envoy.¡¯ How much fortune you can gain will depend on him,¡± the Flying Serpent Phantom said, ¡°I will take my leave now¡­ If there is a chance for you to reach the core cabin in the inner layer of the Mothership, we might meet again.¡±


    ¡°Oh yes!¡±


    ¡°I have recorded your information and granted you ¡®Ordinary Soldier¡¯ privileges. Later, you can head to the ¡®Star Technique Armory¡¯ and ¡®Weapon Armory¡¯ to claim Star Techniques and weapons yourself.¡±


    Whish~ The Flying Serpent Phantom disappeared instantly.


    In this space, only the horned towering figure and Li Yuan remained.


    ¡°Elder Qiu Bingzun,¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Just call me Elder Qiu,¡± the horned towering figure loomed over Li Yuan, ¡°Your potential is very high. Since the Mothership fell ten thousand years ago, many lives have entered the Mothership¡­ but speaking solely of potential, you are likely the highest.¡±


    A thought stirred in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Ten thousand years! Again, ten thousand years, the Ancient Divine Palace had also fallen into the Fierce Feather Star Realm ten thousand years ago¡­ Could it be related to that great war between the divines a million years ago?


    ¡°The Flying Serpent you met just now is a training officer from the exterior of the Mothership, and ordinary soldiers like you all follow his orders. He is responsible for many things on the exterior of the Mothership,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°As for me, I am left by the Six Great Alien Gods to take charge of the Alien God area¡­ hence, I am known as an Alien God Envoy.¡±


    ¡°Alien God?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Is there a difference?¡±


    ¡°That starts with the origin of the Mothership,¡± Qiu Bingzun said solemnly, ¡°The entire Mothership is one of the civilization bases of the ¡®Heaven Snake clan¡¯¡­ The Heaven Snake is a being on par with the True Phoenix, the Divine Dragon, and other powerful entities, potentially even more so. A pure-blooded Heaven Snake, upon reaching maturity, can become divine.¡±


    ¡°Many pure-blooded Heaven Snakes are even among the most powerful among the divines.¡±


    ¡°The Heaven Snake clan?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked. So that¡¯s how it was.


    Suddenly,


    Li Yuan thought of the Beast Emperor¡¯s title; no wonder it was called ¡®Heaven Snake,¡¯ it probably knew part of the truth.


    ¡°Of course, pure-blooded Heaven Snakes are exceedingly rare.¡±


    ¡°This Mothership was left by a Heaven Snake Divine as it went to meet a grievous battle, for its bloodline descendants to take and leave.¡± Qiu Bingzun continued slowly, ¡°Being lascivious by nature, that Heaven Snake Divine mingled with many half-divine beings from different clans, leaving behind countless bloodlines¡­ many clans in the Mingxu Star Realm contain a trace of the Heaven Snake bloodline.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, how could they ascend to the Flying Heaven Level so easily?¡±


    Astonishment crossed Li Yuan¡¯s face.


    The opponent actually knew about the Mingxu Star Realm?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised,¡± Qiu Bingzun continued, ¡°With the power chamber of the Mothership damaged and suppressed by the origin of the star realm, it can no longer move, but monitoring millions of miles of the starry sky with a Mothership is effortless, let alone a small star realm? We occasionally make inquiries, and we know of all your wars with the Mingxu Beast Clan and everything that has happened in the Mingxu Star Realm for thousands of years.¡±


    A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡±


    ¡°The Mingxu Beast Clan, though only containing a trace of the bloodline, is not considered a Heaven Snake descendant. However, due to that trace of the Heaven Snake bloodline, they are given some preferential treatment within the Mothership and have the hope to directly enter the inner layer,¡± Qiu Bingzun said slowly, ¡°As for outsiders like you, only by trying to advance through the Alien God area can you get in, which will be extremely difficult.¡±

 Chapter 546: 316: Target! Encounter with the Beast Emperor

    Chapter 546: Chapter 316: Target! Encounter with the Beast Emperor


    ¡°Alien God area?¡±


    Li Yuan listened with increasing confusion, ¡°Elder Qiu Bingzun, what exactly is the relationship between this Alien God and the Heavenly Serpent Divine?¡±


    ¡°The Heavenly Serpent Divine is incomparably powerful. After all, ordinary divines cannot create such a vast Civilization Mothership. Many divines ruling over numerous planets don¡¯t possess such a mothership¡­ Therefore, there are quite a few divines who follow under the command of the Heavenly Serpent Divine,¡± the hulking figure with a single horn said to Li Yuan, ¡°Since these divines are not of the same race as the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent, they are referred to by those descendants as ¡®Alien Gods¡¯.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    These so-called Alien Gods bear a relationship to the Heavenly Serpent Divine reminiscent of that between the True Phoenix Divine and the Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Back then, when the Heavenly Serpent Divine joined the battle, many Alien Gods naturally followed into war,¡± Elder Qiu continued, ¡°But that battle was fated to be disastrous. Both the Heavenly Serpent Divine and the other Alien Gods knew that their chances of survival were slim¡­ hence the Mothership.¡±


    ¡°The Alien Gods, too, left their legacies in the ¡®Alien God area¡¯ on the Mothership¡¯s outer layer.¡±


    ¡°The treasures left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine are in the most central area of the inner layer,¡± Elder Qiu said.


    Listening, Li Yuan felt the situation was quite similar to that of the Ancient Torch Divine.


    However, the Ancient Torch Divine, in the midst of the great battle, realizing defeat was imminent, hastily ordered the True Phoenix Divine to flee.


    Whereas the Heavenly Serpent Divine seemed to have prepared more adequately, even leaving behind the Civilization Mothership.


    Of course, Li Yuan knew clearly that it was difficult to determine whether the Civilization Mothership or the Ancient Divine Palace held more value.


    ¡°What happened afterward?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Why did the Civilization Mothership crash into the Mingxu Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Not sure,¡± Elder Qiu shook his head, ¡°Not sure?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°It might have been attacked, or it might have encountered a cosmic storm while roaming the starry sea. Both are possible,¡± Elder Qiu said slowly, ¡°I was always in the Alien God area and did not know what befell the Civilization Mothership.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In any case, the Heavenly Serpent Divine and those Alien Gods never returned.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, the Civilization Mothership crashed¡­ Its engine room was destroyed, and most of the lifeforms inside perished, including all the powerful demigods and those at Flying Heaven Level¡­ by the time I met the training officer,¡± Elder Qiu stated, ¡°it had already been five thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Five thousand years?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    ¡°Later on, I found out that after the crash, many compartments of the Mothership were destroyed, unable to maintain a complete cycle of life, so almost all the remaining lifeforms were exiled to the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Elder Qiu said, ¡°At the time, the few lifeforms that had just been born in the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ were nearly wiped out.¡±


    ¡°This is the origin of the Mingxu Beast Clan, lasting till today.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, so to speak, many of the powerful clans within the Mingxu Beast Clan have the same source¡­ they aren¡¯t exactly natives.


    At the same time, it also explained why the Mingxu Beast Clan had become so powerful despite being so isolated and fiercely internally competitive.


    ¡°Over thousands of years.¡±


    ¡°The Mingxu Beast Clan slowly proliferated. Under our guidance, each generation of Flying Heaven Level would enter the Mothership,¡± Elder Qiu said, ¡°It¡¯s just that, most of them are very weak.¡±


    ¡°Until the past thousand years.¡±


    ¡°We sensed that within the Mingxu Star Realm, the Origin Power grew denser and life proliferated greatly¡­ We saw hope for beings to enter the inner layer,¡± Elder Qiu stated.


    A thousand years?


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind stirred; the Seven Star Civilization also rose in the last thousand years, especially in the last few centuries, with the emergence of Star Realms and the concentration of Origin Power between heaven and earth increasing continuously¡­ only then did Martial Path prosper.


    Could it be just coincidence?


    ¡°Elder Qiu, do you really hope someone enters the inner layer?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°The training officer really hopes so. There should be secrets in the things left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine in the inner layer, but I don¡¯t know and am not interested,¡± Elder Qiu spoke slowly, ¡°My responsibility is simple: to select sufficiently strong successors for the Six Great Alien Gods.¡±


    Successors of Divine Beings? Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up slightly.


    So, does that mean the ¡®Alien God area¡¯ holds the legacies of six divines?


    ¡°With such strength, and even practicing a Supreme Star Technique, your ¡®Seven Star Civilization¡¯ must be strong,¡± Elder Qiu said with a smile that wasn¡¯t quite a smile as if seeing through Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, ¡°Perhaps you are aware of the power of divines¡­ but don¡¯t hold too high expectations.¡±


    ¡°The Six Great Alien Gods were not about to die when they went to war. They carried most of their treasures and weapons with them, so the legacies they left behind¡­ are not as great as you imagine,¡± Elder Qiu stated.


    ¡°Any civilization would welcome more Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Elder Qiu said no more, raising his hand and slightly pointing to the void.


    Whoooosh~ A vast array of light converged, instantly forming a complex holographic projection over twenty meters in height and more than eighty meters in length, resembling a warship.


    ¡°Is this¡­ a map?¡± Li Yuan immediately recognized it.


    On this complex and enormous holographic map, aside from the normal multitude of passages, there was a purple area, a vastly extensive black area¡­ and a red dot.


    ¡°This is the map of the entire Mothership.¡±


    ¡°The black area is the inner layer, which you currently don¡¯t have the authority to know about,¡± Elder Qiu stated slowly, ¡°The purple area is the Alien God area¡­ and the red dot is your current location.¡±


    ¡°Memorize this map for now.¡±


    ¡°After committing it all to memory, let me know.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately focused on the map, with his spiritual power surpassing level 37¡­ Even trying to memorize such a complex map of passages in a short time was quite a challenge.


    It should be noted that, according to this map, the entire Mothership was over three thousand kilometers in length.


    How massive was this warship?


    The myriad of internal passages, chambers, and so on, were extremely intricate¡­ the entire Mothership was designed to support the basic operation of a civilization.


    Fortunately!


    Because the descendants of the Heavenly Serpent were huge in size, all the passages of the Mothership were especially large, making the actual space inside not as complicated as one might think.


    A quarter of an hour later.


    Li Yuan first closed his eyes and went through the map once in his mind to ensure there were no errors before opening his eyes again, ¡°Elder, I¡¯ve memorized it all.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Elder Qiu nodded, his face revealing a mysterious smile, ¡°Actually, there are map guides within each passage¡­ If you forget, you can check them again yourself.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°`


    Playing with me? So, the map was for nothing?


    ¡°Just remember it for now, there will be benefits.¡±


    ¡°If you follow the map, you will be able to rush to the Alien God¡¯s area to receive the heritage of the Six Great Alien Gods,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°I will wait for you in the Alien God¡¯s area. When the time comes, how far you can go will be up to you.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded continuously.


    Seeing Qiu Bingzun ready to leave, Li Yuan hurriedly asked, ¡°May I ask Elder, previously a member of my race came here, I wonder if you have seen him? How is he?¡±


    ¡°Your authority is not sufficient; I can¡¯t tell you,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°If not for your great potential, I wouldn¡¯t even provide these directions¡­ Reach the Alien God¡¯s area first.¡±


    ¡°Once your authority is high enough, you may, perhaps, control the entire mothership,¡± said Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°Oh, and one more thing.¡±


    ¡°There are no ¡®enforcement teams¡¯ within the mothership now, so none of you ordinary soldiers will be punished for killing each other¡­ Take care of yourself.¡±


    Whoosh~


    This towering solitary figure also vanished explosively, leaving only Li Yuan alone in this small space.


    ¡°Killing each other? Take care of myself?¡± Li Yuan immediately realized, ¡°Elder Qiu knows about our war with the Mingxu Beast Clan¡­ Is he warning me? Could it be that a Beast Emperor is planning to ambush me?¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t be completely sure and first suppressed this thought.


    ¡°If it were a normal soldier.¡±


    ¡°I guess they would head to the Star Technique Treasury or the Weapon Room first,¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°But I don¡¯t need to at all.¡±


    Having crossed hands with other Flying Heaven Beast Kings, most star techniques were mediocre¡­ right, how could ordinary soldiers obtain powerful star techniques? Probably at most Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer Star Techniques.


    As for weapons? Top-quality Third Rank weapons at best.


    ¡°Regardless, none of that matters much to me,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°Better to hurry and reach the Alien God¡¯s area as soon as possible.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s goals were firstly to strive for the Heritage of the Alien God and secondly to gain access to the Inner Layer.


    According to the training officer and Elder Qiu, the benefits of the Inner Layer far surpassed those of the outer layer.


    Li Yuan had already roughly guessed this.


    The Three Great Beast Emperors, if they wanted to enter the Inner Layer, should have another place of trial¡­ but that¡¯s a privilege of those with the Heavenly Serpent Bloodline.


    Alien races like himself can only go to the Alien God¡¯s area and accept the heritage of the Alien God.


    ¡°So, Big Brother Yu and the many talents of the Myriad Demons Civilization must be heading for the Alien God¡¯s area,¡± Li Yuan followed the map and chose one from the dozen passages in the distance, his designated path.


    The other passages? They all led to different areas.


    Zoom!


    With a movement, Li Yuan turned into a streak of light and passed through a light screen, entering a passage.


    The passage around, still a metallic corridor.


    Li Yuan sped along on his way.


    ¡°These passages are really wide, each one¡¯s diameter exceeds a kilometer,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    He could understand this; if there were too many passageways, it wouldn¡¯t be convenient for descendants of the Heavenly Serpent.


    ¡°Cultivation Room?¡±


    ¡°Rest Room!¡±


    ¡°Lecture Room.¡±


    ¡°Hundred Battles Arena.¡±


    ¡°Star Technique Room.¡±


    ¡°Energy Room.¡± Li Yuan passed many super-large spaces along the way, trying them out¡­ He could enter some spaces, while others required higher authority.


    And each passage was well-lit.


    Clearly, even after tens of thousands of years, this Divine Class Mothership, though fallen, still retained most of its functions¡­ It wasn¡¯t something a single Prime Warrior like Li Yuan could handle.


    What Li Yuan could do was only to abide by its established rules.


    Zoom!


    Li Yuan, using the Star Technique ¡®Wind Feather¡¯ to move at high speed, swiftly approached the Alien God¡¯s area.


    ¡­


    In a hall space with a diameter of more than five kilometers, all four sides were cast from metal.


    Two colossal beings were waiting there.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, do you think we might have bet on the wrong horse?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor seemed a little impatient, speaking in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s been several days, and that Spirit Gun hasn¡¯t shown up. Could he have taken another passage?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°There are only two passages to the Alien God¡¯s area. As long as he came in through Heavenly Serpent Lake¡¯s passage, no matter how he detours, this space where we are is mandatory for him to pass through,¡± said the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor calmly.


    Suddenly, in a far-off passage, the air vibrated faintly, and with the keen senses of the two great Beast Emperors, they both turned to look.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A stream of earth-yellow light burst out from a distance through one of the passages, and upon sensing the presence of the two great Beast Emperors, it abruptly halted.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The two great Beast Emperors also suddenly looked up, their eyes turning cold.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him! No doubt!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s immense body burst out with a powerful aura, and a heaven-shaking roar echoed: ¡°Meet your demise!¡±


    Boom! The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor howled as he soared upwards, charging towards Li Yuan.

 Chapter 547: 317: Battle with the Beast Emperor! Full Force Explosion (Extra 31)

    Chapter 547: Chapter 317: Battle with the Beast Emperor! Full Force Explosion (Extra 31)


    ¡°[Target life, life level at 35.9, killing it will provide spiritual nourishment.]¡±


    ¡°[Target life, life level at 35.9, killing it will provide spiritual nourishment.]¡± As soon as Li Yuan charged into this hall space, he detected two powerful auras dispersing and immediately employed his Divine Palace Inquiry.


    From life level, to their shapes, to their appearances.


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor! Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor! Both Beast Emperors, damn!¡± Li Yuan cursed inwardly.


    There were three Beast Emperors in total, and he met two right off the bat?


    Suddenly, Li Yuan completely understood why Elder Qiu had specifically warned him earlier ¡®there¡¯s no enforcement team¡¯.


    Probably because Elder Qiu knew there were two Beast Emperors waiting here.


    In an instant, various thoughts raced through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Escape? To enter the Alien God area, one must pass through this hall passage, it¡¯s an obligatory route.


    To enter the Alien God area, there are two passages in total.


    If he took a detour, he would have to navigate thousands of kilometers of passageway, and both Beast Emperors could easily get through this hall and block him off from another direction after flying just a few hundred kilometers.


    So, from the bottom of his heart, Li Yuan didn¡¯t want to detour.


    Secondly!!


    ¡°One of the reasons I entered the mothership was to slay these three Great Beast Emperors.¡± There was a glint of battle intent in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes: ¡°Having finally encountered them, I must at least give it a try.¡±


    Other Prime Warriors might fear the Beast Emperors.


    But Li Yuan asked himself, even if the three Great Beast Emperors really had overwhelming strength, killing him wouldn¡¯t be easy¡­ and moreover, he still held a trump card in his hands.


    Fight!


    Fight!


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan watched the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roar into flight, charging at him. With but a thought, he had seen it all, and instantly his slowed speed began to rise again.


    Boom! Without hesitation, Li Yuan executed ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ instantly transforming into a five-meter tall figure, covered in black battle garments, his aura exploding in an instant.


    The Black Chen Spear in his hand suddenly enlarged and was grasped firmly.


    ¡°Such a strong aura.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Both the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor felt Li Yuan¡¯s sudden burst of powerful aura, and their hearts were shaken.


    A Second Rank life emitting such strong aura?


    At this moment, both Beast Emperors faintly understood why so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings couldn¡¯t stop Li Yuan by themselves.


    This was no mere Second Rank life, the aura he emitted seemed on par with many Level 33 Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    Indeed!


    After cultivating the Supreme Star Technique, Li Yuan¡¯s physical base became comparable to level 30, and once he fully spurred the All Things Divine Body, his strength could completely match that of an untrained Level 33 powerhouse.


    The only flaw was that his Origin Power consumption was immense, and he had to finish the fight quickly.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared, his already enormous body dispersing a layer of misty blue divine light, causing the aura he emitted to surge¡­ which changed Li Yuan¡¯s expression slightly.


    ¡°Body Refining Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan quickly understood.


    The Star Technique that the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor cultivated turned out to be the Body Refining Star Technique, even the Chi Yen Beast King hadn¡¯t cultivated it.


    Body Refining Star Technique demanded stringent outside resources, logically, it should be difficult to collect many treasures in the resource-scarce Mingxu Star Realm.


    But Li Yuan didn¡¯t know.


    That the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, as the richest bearer of the ¡®Heavenly Serpent Bloodline¡¯ in the Mingxu Beast Clan for thousands of years¡­ received immense assistance from his trainers.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± The pair of wings on the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor gleamed even brighter, boosting his speed to a terrifying level.


    Originally five kilometers apart, they met head-on in a sprint¡­ colliding wildly in less than two seconds.


    Because Li Yuan¡¯s instant flight speed increased to over seven times faster, but the flight speed of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor skyrocketed to nearly ten times faster, even quicker than Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡±


    Before the clash, the domains of these two strong contenders collided first, and for a time, they were evenly matched.


    Li Yuan¡¯s True Intention Realm was higher, drawing on more of the power of heaven and earth.


    But after the Heavenly Serpent Beast King activated the Body Refining Star Technique, his Divine Power became frighteningly strong, which when combined with his True Intention Domain, made his domain¡¯s power even greater.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± The terrifying domain clash sent shocking waves in all directions.


    ¡°Such a strong domain, indeed, his realm is much higher than mine.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor also realized this and a hint of envy emerged in his heart, ¡°How could a Second Rank life have such a high Skill Realm.¡±


    Rip~


    Sharp claws tore through the vast sky, their light causing the space itself to crack, screaming as it slashed towards Li Yuan.


    The so-called Flying Serpent Clan is entirely different from the ¡®snakes¡¯ on Blue Star; they have wings, sharp claws, and are more akin to the legendary ¡®flying dragons¡¯.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan, with soaring battle intent, did not evade. Swinging the Black Chen Spear in his hand, he struck against the howling sharp claw.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    Claw against spear collided.


    A terrible shockwave occurred, centered on the collision, instantly forming circles of dreadful shockwaves hurtling in all directions, booming against the walls of the hall, making the world seem dim for a moment.


    If they had fought in the outside world, their single collision would be enough to make the land within several kilometers collapse, and ordinary Prime Warriors caught in the radius would likely be killed by the impacts.


    However.


    This was inside a Divine Class Mothership, where the metal flooring could easily withstand attacks of a Demigod level, and it showed no signs of the aftermath of Li Yuan and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s engagement¡­ not even a trace.


    Not even the ground trembled.


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was massive, with five sharp claws on his belly; for him, claws, tail, wings could all become weapons, and he also had an absolute advantage in speed.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor attacked frantically, using various parts of his body, attacking Li Yuan repeatedly, attempting to defeat him


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s only weapon was a long spear, yet extremely agile, activating the mysteries of two Supreme Star Techniques, unleashing his strongest combat prowess, and easily fending off attack after attack from the Heavenly Serpent Beast King.


    ¡°In terms of strength, he¡¯s far stronger than I am.¡±


    ¡°However, the gap in skill realm is quite significant.¡± Li Yuan and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had exchanged dozens of moves in a short time, with neither gaining a clear upper hand.


    ¡°This Spirit Gun, how can he be so strong? How can his spear technique possess such great power?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was equally astonished.


    He finally understood why the Chi Yen Beast King had been killed so effortlessly.


    It is known that before the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor advanced in realm, even at level 36 among the Three Great Beast Emperors, in terms of head-on combat strength, he was always the strongest. After all, he cultivated two Star Techniques, one of which was a Body Refining Star Technique.


    Naturally, after the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor advanced in realm, his power became even stronger, but he had ventured into the ¡®Elite Passage¡¯ and wasn¡¯t present here.


    However, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor did not expect that he would be unable to prevail over Li Yuan.


    He didn¡¯t realize that Li Yuan¡¯s strength relied on Star Technique, Skill Realm, in addition to the weapon¡­ allowing him such formidable power.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, why haven¡¯t you made a move?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent an angry telepathic message. Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A pair of massive wings whistled through the air, attempting desperately to block Li Yuan¡¯s path.


    Boom!


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, who had been blocking the entrance, suddenly soared into flight, its eight limbs whistling through the air.


    But what truly caught the eye were the dense ¡®eyes¡¯ scattered across its body.


    In the past, these eyes were all closed.


    Now, they suddenly snapped open.


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, its existence purely by coincidence, possessed a very special innate ability¡ªThousand Eyes Assault.


    Eyes are the windows to the soul¡­ With a thousand eyes opening simultaneously, its spiritual attack power would be greatly enhanced.


    ¡°Suppress!¡± The gaze of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor landed on Li Yuan.


    ¡°No matter how advanced his skill realm is, after all, he¡¯s only a Second Rank Life. Having a spiritual level at Flying Heaven Level is already not bad, the likelihood of being at Flying Heaven Peak is very small¡­ Even with a level 35 spiritual power, he should be affected.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was confident.


    For a Sky-Flying Level Life, their usage of the soul is mostly rather crude. Concepts like soul extermination are difficult to achieve, therefore, during most confrontations between powerhouses, even if their spiritual power is strong, they can only rely on Spiritual Shock to impose some impact on their enemies.


    And the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, inherently gifted in the domain of the soul, possessed spiritual power as high as level 36. Later on, from the secret technique treasury of the Divine Class Mothership, he cultivated a secret technique focusing on concentration¡­ combined with his innate ability, making his Spiritual Shock very terrifying.


    At least, among those at Sky-Flying Level, it would be hard to find an adversary.


    In the entire Mingxu Star Realm, over thousands of years, two of the most unique creatures born were the Chi Yen Beast King and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Engaged in fierce battle with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Li Yuan had just noticed the approach of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor when he was hit by a powerful Spiritual Shock sweeping toward him¡­


    ¡°Spiritual Shock? Solidify!¡± Li Yuan had been cultivating for too short a time to ponder too many Spiritual Secret Techniques, after all, he didn¡¯t have the innate gift of the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    However, he had occasionally contemplated some methods for condensing spiritual power.


    What was key, though, were Li Yuan¡¯s immensely strong spiritual power and willpower. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The intense Spiritual Shock was like an axe ferociously chopping onto a steel plate, reverberating ceaselessly but unable to truly have an impact.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Spear light crisscrossed, slicing through the vast sky, its power undiminished in the slightest, once again blocking the attack of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, there¡¯s no effect!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent an angry telepathic message.


    ¡°No effect?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°How is that possible! Could his spiritual will be stronger than you and Myriad Scales? How can there be such a heaven-defying Second Rank Life?¡±


    It was one thing for his combat strength to be strong.


    But for his spiritual will to be so strong, too?


    ¡°Then abandon the spiritual attack,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent a hurried telepathic message. ¡°Bind him. Don¡¯t let him escape. His Body Refining Star Technique is so terrifying, it must consume a great deal of Origin Power¡­ As long as we persist in this war of attrition, we can exhaust him to death.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    The body of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor whirled, speeding towards the two battling powerhouses.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The eight tentacles of Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, already over a hundred meters long, swelled further, lashing at Li Yuan like gigantic ropes, attempting to bind him.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The murderous intent of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor surged, he attacked frenziedly, desperately entangling Li Yuan.


    ¡°They¡¯re all here.¡±


    ¡°Time to make a move! The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor is hard to kill, let¡¯s take down Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor first!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold.


    Just as the tentacles were about to touch Li Yuan, boom! boom! boom!


    A mysterious aura spread out.


    Then, Li Yuan split into nine, and in the void, nine Li Yuans appeared, each tens of meters apart, all emanating a very strong aura.


    They easily evaded the attack from Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    Seventh Layer Star Technique¡ª¡±Nine Shadow Clones.¡±


    Capable of creating each shadow clone and endowing each one with a certain level of strength, like Li Yuan who cultivated to the Second Order Limit, could give each clone ¡®twenty percent of his main body¡¯s strength.¡¯


    Of course, this twenty percent did not include the weapon¡¯s power.


    Nine Shadow Clones! All Things Divine Body! These two supreme Star Techniques worked in concert, representing Li Yuan¡¯s most explosive display of combat might.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So many phantom bodies? How come there are so many more than when he fought Chi Yen Beast King?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was stunned, feeling a bit panicked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic! They¡¯re just phantoms.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor sent a telepathic message, ¡°Chi Yen mentioned that his phantoms have no attack power, they are all illusions.¡±


    The words of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor were also somewhat self-assuring.


    He had also comprehended the True Meaning of Wind and was very aware of the difference between six phantoms and nine.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan roared furiously.


    Nine figures dashed across the sky, casting radiant streaks as they intersected and swooped down on Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor like specters.

    Chapter 548: Chapter 318: Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)


    ¡°Annihilate.¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared angrily.


    He couldn¡¯t distinguish Li Yuan¡¯s shadow clones from the real one, so he could only draw on his True Intent Domain in an attempt to destroy those countless clones.


    But he soon found that he couldn¡¯t annihilate them at all.


    For one thing, Li Yuan¡¯s shadow clones already possessed twenty percent of his real strength, which was considered very strong among those at the Flying Heaven Level; they were not something that an ordinary True Intent Domain could easily shake.


    Secondly, Li Yuan himself could also draw on his domain to protect the shadow clones.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared, his massive tail whistling through the vast sky, sweeping towards several of Li Yuan¡¯s shadow clones.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Nine Li Yuans flickered simultaneously, like phantoms, or as if following a mysterious vibration within their own True Intent Domain, the majority of the clones easily avoided the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s furious attacks.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± At the moment when one of the shadow clones was about to be hit by the enormous wings.


    Boom~ the entire clone dissipated with a bang, then quickly recondensed in another part of the void.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was both shocked and angry. He too had comprehended the True Meaning of Wind, albeit inclined towards the ¡®speed¡¯ aspect, but he had some understanding of phantom bodies.


    However, he had never thought that phantom bodies could be so agile and variable.


    In fact, if Li Yuan had merely drawn on the Shadow Domain, it would have been easily broken through since he had only just begun to form the True Meaning of Wind¡­ he hadn¡¯t truly condensed the True Meaning of Wind yet.


    But now, he was using the Seventh Layer Star Technique!


    The stronger the Star Technique, the more it represented a special combat method.


    ¡°Shadow Division Technique,¡± when used to create four phantom bodies, could display maximum efficiency, but that was just a Fifth Layers Star Technique.


    However, ¡°Nine Great Phantom Bodies¡± could affect nine phantom bodies simultaneously, coupled with Li Yuan¡¯s own two True Intents combined to form the Shadow Domain, it was enough to bring his combat power to a terrifying level.


    This was a Seventh Layers Star Technique! Many Demigods hadn¡¯t cultivated such a powerful Star Technique.


    It wasn¡¯t that easy to break through.


    To break through such a Star Technique, there were usually two methods: one was to use brute force, for example, a sheer overwhelming power that could sweep across the entire void in an instant, or a powerful domain suppression that could naturally discern the real body.


    The other was to break it through mastery, for instance, if one¡¯s realm was high enough, the shadow clones and the real body activating the power of heaven and earth would have subtle differences¡­ If one could sense this difference, one could naturally locate Li Yuan¡¯s real body.


    Unfortunately, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was not capable of either method.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Having failed to stop Li Yuan, the Nine Great Phantom Bodies were already approaching the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor like lightning.


    ¡°Scram!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor also activated his True Intent Domain, let out a furious roar, and eight tentacles whisked through the air, each striking at a different Li Yuan.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± the nine Li Yuans shouted in unison.


    Nine long spears crossed the sky, causing nine dazzling spear lights to blaze in the void, thrusting towards the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor from different directions, attempting to inflict maximum damage on him.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Boom~ Bang!¡± In a lightning-fast exchange, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor¡¯s huge tentacles, infused with astonishing might, batted away the long spears.


    ¡°Something¡¯s amiss! How are they all real?¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor sensed something was wrong the moment they touched.


    Didn¡¯t the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor say that phantom bodies have no attack power? Clearly, the situation was not right.


    ¡°That one! Over there!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, sensing something was wrong, managed to discern where Li Yuan¡¯s real body was, but it was already too late.


    ¡°Pfft~¡±


    The real Black Chen Spear, with a fierce stab, pierced a giant hole in one of the huge tentacles; dark green blood splattered, a shocking sight to see.


    If all eight tentacles were used, even in a direct fight the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was much weaker than Li Yuan, and facing Li Yuan¡¯s real body attack, he would at most be at a disadvantage.


    But now, with only one or two tentacles to defend? He was no match for Li Yuan at all!


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    ¡°Heaven Snake, you lied to me; his phantom bodies do have attack power!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor let out a mournful roar, ¡°And these phantom bodies have very strong attack power at that, I¡¯d estimate they¡¯re almost as good as Lei Guang and the others.¡±


    The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor truly panicked.


    ¡°What? The phantom bodies are that strong? Doesn¡¯t that mean there are the equivalent of eight top Beast Kings, plus Li Yuan¡¯s real body attack?¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was stunned, naturally not believing that the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was lying: ¡°The path of phantom bodies, to be so terrifying? Could he have Semi Divine Level comprehension?¡±


    Boom!


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor roared and rushed over, joining with the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, the two Monster Emperors together attacking the nine Li Yuans flickering and weaving through the void.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan, using ¡°Nine Shadow Clones¡±, had several clones flickering, restraining the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, while his real body was fully engaged in attacking the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    After the confrontation just now, Li Yuan had confirmed that among the two Beast Emperors, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had terrifying direct combat strength and even faster flight speed, making him difficult to kill.


    In contrast, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, without the Body Refining Star Technique and with much weaker defenses, seemed like a level 35 but was in fact much easier to kill.


    ¡°Whir! Whir! Whir! Whir!¡± A blanket of spear lights burst forth, fast and fierce, enveloping the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    So ferocious.


    ¡°Faster than before.¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor¡¯s expression grew colder: ¡°Even Wang Ling¡¯s offensive isn¡¯t this ferocious.¡± S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If it had just been plain phantom bodies, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor might have occasionally taken a gamble, but with each shadow clone¡¯s attack being very strong, he dared not disregard any spear light.


    Crucially, hidden among them was the most ferocious Li Yuan¡¯s real body.


    ¡°Boom~ Boom! Boom!¡± The Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor struggled to defend himself, his eight tentacles also shining with light, significantly increasing their defense, like having eight arms, very strong in defense.


    But still!!


    He couldn¡¯t withstand it!


    ¡°Pfft~ Pfft!¡± Occasionally, his tentacles were penetrated by Li Yuan¡¯s Black Chen Spear, and even though his Flying Heaven Peak level Origin Power could quickly regenerate¡­ it still took time.

    Chapter 549: Chapter 318: Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)_2


    But Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t give him that time; the injury was naturally getting worse.


    ¡°How should I fight this?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor became increasingly panicked. Had it truly been Li Yuan with a group of Level 34 Beast Kings besieging him, he would have been less anxious because he could pinpoint Li Yuan¡¯s real position.


    Key point!


    It was that Li Yuan¡¯s real body was hidden among the many phantom bodies, making it impossible for him to discern¡­ Plus, the attack power of Li Yuan¡¯s real body was so terrifying that it was tough for the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor to defend against.


    Even occasionally, Li Yuan¡¯s real body would attack the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, forcing the latter into a flustered state, daring not to overlook any phantom body.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t right.¡±


    ¡°Such fearsome phantom bodies must be a powerful Star Technique, at least a Sixth Layer Star Technique, possibly even a Seventh Layer Star Technique.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor found it somewhat unbelievable: ¡°But his Divine Body is so strong, it must also be a superior Body Refining Star Technique, and then there¡¯s his flying speed¡­¡±


    ¡°How did he do it as a Second Rank Life?¡±


    ¡°According to the trainer, isn¡¯t a Second Rank Life supposed to cultivate a maximum of two Star Techniques?¡±


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor wasn¡¯t wrong in his thinking.


    Ordinary powerhouses, or even so-called geniuses, limited by their Star Meridian talents, usually had only one or two particularly strong Star Meridians, so they would choose to strengthen certain aspects.


    For example, Lude Nef chose the ¡°Assassination¡± direction, not cultivating Body Refining Star Technique, meaning he was destined to be not strong enough in head-on fights.


    While someone like Yu Jinghe, who chose head-on combat, would usually be average in aspects like the Escaping Method Star Technique and Domain.


    This was also something that Lie Feng Semi Divine had mentioned to Li Yuan before, that even if one had enough talent in the two great Laws of the universe, according to common sense, the cultivation of Star Techniques was limited, and it was difficult to fully utilize them.


    As powerful as the Ancient Torch Divine was, he definitely had the hope of acquiring three or even four Supreme Star Techniques¡­ but it was meaningless because the capacity of his Star Meridians determined he could only cultivate two.


    All these were common sense.


    Yet, there was this aberrant individual, Li Yuan!


    Normally speaking, if Li Yuan only cultivated ¡°Nine Shadows¡±, without the support of Body Refining Star Technique, each Shadow Clone would be very weak and negligible¡­ If he focused on body refining, at most he would cultivate the Shadow Division Technique.


    But he cultivated both.


    Plus the assistance of the other two Star Techniques, working in coordination, their effect was far greater than simply one plus one, truly turning every shadow clone of Li Yuan into an extremely terrifying force.


    No weaknesses!


    A single person.


    At full strength, he was actually suppressing the two Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡± At full burst, Li Yuan¡¯s movement technique and spear light became unpredictably ghostly to the extreme.


    Although Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor tried his best to defend, his frontline battle strength was inherently the weakest among the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    Tentacles blocked attack after attack, sustaining injuries.


    A prolonged defense would surely fail!


    ¡°Spurt~¡±


    Another spear thrust suddenly penetrated a tentacle, and following closely, two other shadow clones approached violently and thrust their spears at the same time¡­ the terrifying joint attack completely tore apart that tentacle.


    Tentacle!


    Severed!


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze turned icy, increasingly frenzied, as many phantom bodies suddenly broke free from the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor and all besieged the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Heaven Snake! Help me block him.¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor shouted in shock and anger, struggling to escape into the distance.


    Having lost a tentacle, if the battle continued, a second, then a third would be severed¡­ his strength would drastically weaken. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The strength that Li Yuan burst forth with was too terrifying.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    However, what Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor didn¡¯t expect was that as he was fleeing, another massive blue figure was escaping even faster than him.


    ¡°Heaven Snake!¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor roared, unable to believe the scene unfolding before him.


    ¡°I can¡¯t hold him off.¡±


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, if I try to block him, I¡¯ll easily be bypassed, and you¡¯re a whole notch slower in flying speed, you¡¯ll be chased down sooner or later¡­¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor whizzed by, transmitting his message: ¡°You¡¯re as good as dead, I¡¯m not accompanying you to the grave, I¡¯m taking my leave first.¡±


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor grew frightened.


    The desperate fight between the two sides, with him trying his hardest, was barely enough to assist the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    He was worried that if the fight continued like this and once the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor perished, Li Yuan might employ some special technique that would kill him as well.


    Whoosh!


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s speed soared, rapidly leaving Li Yuan and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor far behind.


    ¡°Thousand Eyes, die.¡± Li Yuan, however, didn¡¯t bother with the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, but continued his attack on the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor.


    It seemed the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had also cultivated an Escaping Method Star Technique; his speed was simply too fast, and he was intent on fleeing, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t possibly catch up.


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡±


    Without the interference of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Li Yuan had even more strength to attack the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, whose one tentacle had not yet recovered¡­ Their strengths increased and decreased inversely.


    ¡°Swish~¡±


    The Long Spear cut through the Vast Sky, pierced through the void, directly stabbing into another tentacle, and the terrifying power exploded¡­ that entire tentacle violently burst, severing again.


    ¡°Aaargh!¡± The terrible pain drove him completely mad, but his madness couldn¡¯t cover up the significant weakening of his strength after the tentacle was severed.


    ¡°How is this possible!¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this!¡±


    ¡°I am a Beast Emperor, and I¡¯m going to be killed by a Second Rank Life?¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor continued to struggle crazily; he felt death closing in.


    Boom!


    Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor finally rushed into a corridor, and Li Yuan without hesitation followed, the Long Spear whistling, continuing the attacks.


    Tear~ Another tentacle was torn apart.


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°I had imagined that I would die of old age or be killed by an invading Flying Heaven powerhouse.¡±


    ¡°But I never expected that I, Thousand Eyes, would die here in the mothership, killed by a Second Rank Life.¡± Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor roared, staring intently at Li Yuan: ¡°Why are you, a Second Rank Life, so strong? Why?¡±

    ¡°`


    ¡°Die!¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were icy cold, completely ignoring the telepathic message from the Thousand Eyes Beast King; nine streaks of Spear Light once again slashed across the Vast Sky, and the Thousand Eyes Beast King was powerless to block most of them¡­ One of the streaks suddenly smashed into the head of the Thousand Eyes Beast King.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    His head had already been attacked by Li Yuan three or four times in the fierce combat that had just occurred.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This time, it finally couldn¡¯t withstand the assault.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Puchi! The Spear Light penetrated the head, a terrifying force erupted, instantly extinguishing the consciousness of the Thousand Eyes Beast King¡­ The five tentacles that had been struggling violently now rapidly fell, limp and without strength!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Boom, boom, boom~


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The colossal body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King thunderously crashed onto the metallic ground, emitting a shaking sound.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Soon after, the corridor became completely silent.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°[You have killed a Third Rank being, obtained Spiritual Nature nourishment.]¡± A Divine Palace prompt flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s vision. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    But Li Yuan glanced at one line on the Divine Palace panel: [Spiritual Awakening Level: 60% (Current Limit 60%)].


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°It seems that, as before, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is temporarily collecting Spiritual Nature nourishment, waiting until my Spiritual Awakening Limit increases before it gives it all to me at once,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°This is also a kind of accumulation, I suppose.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Having killed so many Flying Heaven Beast Kings before, his Spiritual Awakening Level had long since reached 60%.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    By rights, it was already possible for the Origin Power to enter his body for the sixth time.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Only,


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Just as when his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 50%, more golden mist converged on the second layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and since Li Yuan did not choose to condense an Origin Pill, this golden mist had no use.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°It matters not.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The more golden mist that accumulates, the moment I condense my Origin Pill, perhaps I¡¯ll be able to cultivate my Origin Power to level 35 and even higher in an extremely short time,¡± Li Yuan pondered in his mind.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    His gaze fell upon the body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King lying below.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°He¡¯s been killed!¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°A Beast King! A Level 35 Flying Heaven Exotic Beast.¡± Li Yuan also felt a surge of joy and pride.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The strength of the Thousand Eyes Beast King seemed to be slightly inferior compared to a true Flying Heaven Peak powerhouse, but the difference was not significant¡­ Yet, it had fallen to Li Yuan.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°I anticipated correctly.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°When it comes to pure attack strength, I am quite ordinary amongst those at the Flying Heaven Peak,¡± Li Yuan inwardly said, ¡°But once I use the ¡®Shadow Clone¡¯, then even among those at the Flying Heaven Peak, I am not considered weak.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    This was the confidence that allowed Li Yuan to dare to battle the Three Great Beast Emperors.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    And this was only the Second Order Limit.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    If he were to cultivate to the Third Order Limit, not only would the Shadow Clones become more stable and harder to distinguish¡­ but the strength of each Shadow Clone would also increase by thirty percent.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Any powerful Star Technique becomes more terrifying the further it is advanced.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Of the Three Great Beast Emperors, one has been killed, leaving only two,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense spread out, quickly sweeping over the body of the Thousand Eyes Beast King and collecting all the treasures.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°To kill the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor? I need to figure out a way to increase my speed.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor? Even more mysterious, I haven¡¯t encountered him yet,¡± Li Yuan calculated in his mind, transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the Alien God area.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°He¡¯s utterly dead.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Thousand Eyes.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, who was fleeing at high speed through a passage, sighed inwardly: ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for not rescuing you, it¡¯s that I simply couldn¡¯t save you.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The Three Great Beast Emperors had tokens that could sense each other¡¯s life or death.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Myriad Scales, you must have sensed it too,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor thought anxiously, ¡°Now everything depends on you. Given the strength of that Spirit Gun, he is very likely to pass the trial of the Alien God area and enter the Inner Layer¡­ If you also fail, then my Mingxu Beast Clan is finished.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°All will die.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°But!¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°I can¡¯t put all my hope on Myriad Scales,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor thought to himself, ¡°I need to find a place to hide first¡­ At least make it so that the Spirit Gun can¡¯t find me for the time being.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Whoosh!


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor quickly departed, completely leaving the Alien God area.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Inside the Mothership, a mysterious area of the Inner Layer.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    A twenty-five-meter exotic beast that had been lying still suddenly opened its eyes; it was covered in fiery red scales, and at first glance, it somewhat resembled the legendary Fire Kirin.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Only, its hooves and claws were exceptionally sharp, and its eyes fierce.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    It was the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor! And the true ¡®number one powerhouse¡¯ of the Mingxu Beast Clan, the only Six Star Pulse strong being.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Thousand Eyes is dead?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Weren¡¯t Thousand Eyes and Heavenly Serpent together? The two of them, united, and waiting in the safe Outer Layer area, how could they die?¡± The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was in disbelief: ¡°Could it be, that Spirit Gun has broken through to become a Third Rank, and entered the Mothership?¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was puzzled.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°No matter,


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°I must quickly comprehend this secret technique, for there is hope to make it to the core cabin.¡± The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor thought to himself, ¡°If I can control even a fraction of the Mothership¡¯s might¡­ Unless it¡¯s a Demigod, all can be killed.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    The deeper the understanding, the more clearly he realized the terror of the Mothership.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    At its peak, the explosive might of the Mothership was so terrifying that even Divine beings dare not withstand it directly; they must avoid its edge.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡­


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    After traveling through the metal corridor for a short while, Li Yuan finally arrived at the Alien God area, following the map¡¯s guidance.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Passing through the last portal of light.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan felt an invisible force sweep over him, seemingly another scan, and the scene before his eyes changed, placing him in an incredibly vast hall.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    ¡°What a grand hall,¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    At first glance, this hall, with its height possibly exceeding ten kilometers and length perhaps more than fifty kilometers, was like a miniature world on its own¡­ compared to this hall, those he had passed previously were nothing.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Also, an invisible force shrouded the entire hall, causing even Li Yuan to feel a series of oppressions.


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Quickly,


    ¡°`


    ¡°`


    Li Yuan¡¯s attention was soon drawn to the six towering statues on either side of the vast hall.

    Chapter 551: Chapter 318: Slaying the Beast Emperor! The Six Great Alien Gods (Added Chapters 32 and 33)_4


    Every statue towered over a thousand feet, standing tall and broadcasting a vast presence.


    A ferocious flame aura.


    A nimble melody of the wind.


    A profound vibration of the earth.


    A sharp aura of metal.


    ¡­


    Six humanoid statues, all with their eyes closed tight, emitting completely distinct auras, allowing one to broadly distinguish the differences between the Six Great Alien Gods.


    ¡°Hum~¡± Invisible fluctuations swept by, and a large amount of light converged, forming a formidable and bulky figure with a horn.


    ¡°Elder Qiu,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Your strength is much more formidable than I had imagined,¡± lamented Qiu Bingzun. ¡°A battle against two 35th level beings of the Flying Heaven level, and it ended with one dead and one fleeing.¡±


    ¡°Luck,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, though he inwardly sighed.


    His earlier analysis was indeed correct, Qiu Bingzun and that training officer probably had intimate knowledge of every part of the Mothership¡­ but they would not intervene, instead allowing the various factions to fight amongst themselves.


    ¡°Having come to the region of Alien Gods signifies that you are qualified to come into contact with the inheritance left by the Six Great Alien Gods,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°Follow me, let me introduce you to a thing or two.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan promptly followed.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun landed in front of the first statue, which was radiating a powerful flame aura.


    ¡°These six statues are left by the Six Great Alien Gods,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke softly.


    ¡°Are these Alien Gods all from the Human Race?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    All around were humanoid statues.


    ¡°Of course not, among the Six Great Alien Gods, only one is a true member of the Human Race,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°But in the endless river of dimensions, the Human Race¡¯s body is the most imbued with Spiritual Nature, and they possess the highest Comprehension¡­ Thus, deities of various races, upon becoming Divine, will often transform into humanoid forms, which are more conducive to cultivation. Usually, only when engaging in battle will they transform into their true forms.¡±


    ¡°Only after becoming Divine can one perfectly transform their body,¡± Qiu Bingzun added. ¡°These statues here all resemble the humanoid forms of these Alien Gods.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; the Human Race body indeed contained such profound mysteries.


    ¡°Look.¡±


    ¡°Beneath each Divine statue, there are nine stone steles,¡± Qiu Bingzun pointed to the steles and continued slowly: ¡°These steles constitute the First Layer of the trial. Within the steles, the cultivation insights of these Divine beings are contained¡­ What you must do is to comprehend the steles.¡± Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The more you comprehend, the more aid you will have in obtaining the Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°There is no time limit on your comprehension.¡±


    ¡°When you feel that your comprehension is profound enough¡­ you may proceed along the passage behind the stele to accept the final test¡­ The passage will lead to the site of Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards the passage beneath the towering statue. It wasn¡¯t very big, but it seemed extremely mysterious.


    He had no idea what lay in the depths, nor where it led.


    ¡°You may freely comprehend any of the steles left by the Six Great Alien Gods, but in the end, you can only choose one Alien God¡¯s heritage site to undertake. Remember, you only have one chance. Whether you can gain great advantages depends on yourself,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan and said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, but then couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Elder, to gain the benefits of the inheritance, must one fully understand all nine steles?¡±


    ¡°Naturally, that is not the case.¡±


    ¡°Third Order Life beings must fully grasp every stele to have a chance at the inheritance,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°For Second Rank Life, comprehending just the first six steles can offer a good chance.¡±


    ¡°The first six steles?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s interest was piqued, that shouldn¡¯t be too difficult.


    ¡°Alright,¡± he replied.


    ¡°That which I needed to tell you, I have said,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°From now on, it¡¯s up to you.¡±


    ¡°Go and choose the Alien God steles that best suit your understanding.¡±

    Chapter 552: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization


    ¡°Oh right, I have to remind you first,¡± Elder Qiu chuckled, ¡°If you want to enter the inner layer of the mothership, you must at least become the Direct Disciple of a certain Alien God.¡±


    ¡°Inner Sect Disciple?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°Each Alien God has left behind three different levels of inheritance: Direct Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, and Disciple by name¡­ Among them, becoming a Direct Disciple or an Inner Sect Disciple isn¡¯t solely about strength but about your choice,¡± Elder Qiu explained.


    ¡°Choice?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°With gains come losses. The many Alien Gods left behind their heritage with the thought of passing on their teachings as well as the commands of the Heavenly Serpent Divine¡­ but they all have their own demands,¡± Elder Qiu said with a smile, ¡°With your talent, if you choose the right path, there is hope for you to become a Direct Disciple, but you have to make a choice.¡±


    ¡°If you can¡¯t do it, it¡¯s best not to agree, otherwise it can easily affect your future.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood; he could comprehend the reasoning.


    One must act for their own gain or be obliterated by heaven and earth. Even the Ancient Torch Divine had something to request when leaving behind an inheritance, it¡¯s just that his own strength was still weak, and Gu You hadn¡¯t told him till now.


    ¡°Also,¡± Elder Qiu continued with a smile, ¡°I remind you once more, according to the rules, fighting is forbidden anywhere within the mothership, especially within the Alien Gods¡¯ domains and the inner layer areas. If the enforcement squad were still present, any outbreak of battle would likely result in the combatants being killed on the spot by the enforcement squad.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity, the enforcement squad left long ago¡­¡± Elder Qiu shook his head, and his figure thunderously dissipated.


    Li Yuan stood there, a trace of astonishment on his face.


    ¡°What does Elder Qiu mean?¡± Li Yuan felt a bit puzzled, ¡°Last time he warned me, and then I immediately encountered two Great Beast Emperors and a fight broke out.¡±


    ¡°He warned me again.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that other potentates are converging here?¡± A sliver of murderous intent flickered across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°Is it the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor from the Three Great Beast Emperors? Or those geniuses from the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Only these individuals had entered the mothership.


    ¡°No matter.¡±


    ¡°At present, it¡¯s unclear whether others have entered the inner layer or not,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor has never appeared; it¡¯s very possible that he entered the inner layer through the ¡®Heavenly Serpent Bloodline¡¯ trial.¡±


    ¡°And the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization, I¡¯ve never encountered them. Have they all entered the inner layer?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    ¡°No matter.¡±


    ¡°In any case, according to Elder Qiu, you can actually fight anywhere within the entire mothership,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan had truly stepped beneath the first Alien God statue. The statue was incredibly lifelike, its eyes cold, seemingly filled with anger, and it radiated an endless ferocious aura.


    The Vein of Fire!


    This Alien God clearly became divine through the Law of Fire!


    ¡°Stone wall,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell upon the nine stone walls, on which were engraved marks resembling flames.


    The nine stone walls, each with a different flame carved into it, emitted unique mysterious vibrations¡­


    Li Yuan contemplated; through the process of comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind, as one principle leads to all methods, he had inadvertently also come to understand other mysteries of heaven and earth, such as the Mysteries of Water and Metal, both of which he had already crossed the Fifth Stage threshold¡­ yet for the Mystery of Fire and Thunder, he hadn¡¯t even reached 1% of the Fifth Stage.


    ¡°The Mystery of Fire is too profound,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, able to sense the mystery of the nine great walls with his realm.


    But he just didn¡¯t understand it.


    ¡­Time passed, and Li Yuan had preliminarily observed all six Alien God statues!


    During the observation process, Li Yuan discovered that each of the Six Great Alien Gods had become divine through one of the six Laws of Fire, Wind, Earth, Metal, Thunder, and Water, and the stone walls they left behind naturally contained the respective mysteries of these laws.


    ¡°If I go on to forcefully comprehend the Law of Fire or Metal, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t even be able to become the Disciple by name of an Alien God,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself.


    Everyone has their strengths.


    His strongest was still the Earth Vein, followed by the Wind Vein¡­ in other areas, after all, he wasn¡¯t skilled and expending ten times the effort, he feared he would only gain a fraction of the results.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just choose from among the Earth and Wind Alien Gods,¡± Li Yuan approached the statue of the Earth System Alien God.


    This was an old man with a profound and simple demeanor, kind-eyed and benevolent, with a compassionate appearance.


    Standing under this statue made Li Yuan feel very warm.


    ¡°Stone wall,¡± Li Yuan silently resonated with the first wall, which was engraved with a vast and heavy land.


    ¡°The great land is heavy.¡±


    Li Yuan, who had already gained keen insights into the True Meaning of Earth, and solely relying on the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth, could already rival Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses¡­ one could imagine how fast his progress had been.


    In just a quarter of an hour, Li Yuan had completely understood the mystery held within the first stone wall.


    ¡°Coalesce!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the power of heaven and earth gathered, forming a corresponding pattern in front of the first stone wall, emanating identical mysterious vibrations.


    ¡°The second stone wall,¡± Li Yuan looked towards the next stone wall, which, like the first, was engraved with a vast expanse of land, only this time there was a seed within it.


    On the third stone wall, the seed had sprouted.


    On the fourth stone wall, the sprouted seed broke through the ground amidst the vast lands.


    The fifth stone wall¡­


    ¡­


    In three days¡¯ time, Li Yuan was constantly immersed in contemplating the nine stone walls left by the Earth System Alien God, and he had understood up to the sixth stone wall in one go¡­ then he was halted by the seventh stone wall.


    According to Elder Qiu¡¯s guidance, only by understanding six stone walls, one could hope to obtain the Heritage of the Alien God.


    But Li Yuan himself hesitated.


    ¡°The path is not right.¡±


    ¡°The path pursued by this Earth System Alien God is different from mine,¡± Li Yuan gradually realized this point from the nine stone walls: ¡°This Alien God¡¯s contemplation was on the aspect of ¡®nurturing¡¯; the vast land is indeed expansive and nurtures all things, providing sustenance to them.¡±

 Chapter 553: 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_2

    Chapter 553: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°But what I pursue, my True Meaning of Earth Mastery, is merely to bear all things, to embrace all things,¡± Li Yuan reflected thoughtfully.


    There is no right path.


    Every Law of the Great Dao encompasses everything. Starting from the Law of Earth, one can nurture all things, and the same goes for the Laws of Water and Wood¡­ there is only the path that best suits oneself.


    ¡°What I pursue.¡±


    ¡°Is to bear, with the vastness of Earth, to carry the Rhythm of Wind, to form a space of absolute control, and even ultimately touch upon the Mysteries of Space,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    This was the cultivation path Li Yuan had long since conceived.


    The boundlessness of heaven and earth, the carefree and unrestrained nature of the wind, is also what he genuinely liked.


    And nurturing all things, the evolution of life? That too is an ultimate path, but at least for now, it is not Li Yuan¡¯s pursuit.


    ¡°The path is decided by the heart.¡±


    ¡°As of now, I haven¡¯t even entered the threshold of the vast Law of the Great Dao, biting off more than I can chew,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°This path of the Earth System Divine does not agree with me; there¡¯s no need to force it.¡±


    If Li Yuan had already delved deep and far into the Law of Earth, he might be able to take some reference from it.


    But where is Li Yuan now in terms of his realm?


    ¡­


    ¡°Wind System Alien God,¡± Li Yuan arrived at another Alien God statue.


    The same nine stone walls.


    In the first stone wall, what was engraved was a figure, with eyes tightly closed, standing alone in the void, exuding a trace of ethereal and invisible charm.


    ¡°The fluctuation of wind?¡± Li Yuan whispered to himself, sensing carefully.


    Gradually, a smile appeared on Li Yuan¡¯s face, ¡°As expected, just like the insights I had before, this Wind System Alien God also pursues the direction of Phantom Body.¡±


    During his prior cursory contemplation of the paths of the Six Great Alien Gods, Li Yuan had a rough understanding of each, but his heart was more inclined towards the Earth System Alien God, as that was where he was most confident.


    But now it seemed that the path of this Wind System Alien God was more suitable for Li Yuan.


    ¡°The profundity contained in this stone wall seems to bear some resemblance to the Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes slightly lit up.


    The Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram, bestowed by Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, contained over a thousand strands of Mystery, seemingly chaotic, yet unified. Over the past few months, Li Yuan had been pondering its Mysteries.


    But those mysterious fluctuations were still too complex for Li Yuan at his current realm.


    Yet looking at these stone walls, Li Yuan quickly found commonalities between them.


    ¡°This first stone wall might correspond to five or six strands of Mystery in the Thousand Illusion Formation Diagram¡­ but it has been perfectly combined,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened.


    As if one offered an outline.


    The other provided practical cases for insight¡­ they could be combined for contemplation.


    ¡°Hahaha.¡±


    ¡°This is indeed my opportunity,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile and delved into contemplation.


    The first stone wall depicted one figure.


    The second stone wall had two figures. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The third stone wall displayed four figures.


    ¡­Gradually, Li Yuan also discovered that the nine stone walls left by the Wind System Alien God had a connection with the ¡°Nine Shadow Clones,¡± which was actually a set of extremely powerful battle Methods.


    ¡°Star Technique is a way to utilize the Star Meridian to brand Starmarks, greatly enhancing the ability to wield the Mystery of the heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If one advances to a profound level, even without practicing Star Technique, one can exert the power of Low-Level Star Technique.¡±


    Like the Demigods.


    Using Second Layer Star Technique, Third Layer Star Technique, their strength is hardly improved, and that¡¯s why.


    ¡­In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days had passed.


    Time had already entered the month of October.


    The various forces that entered the Mingxu Star Realm were already doubtful about the so-called ¡®Divine Land.¡¯


    But whether it was the Seven Star Civilization, Myriad Demons Civilization, or Tianliang Civilization, they could only verify the life and death of the entrants, without the ability to communicate¡­ unclear of the specifics.


    So much time had passed.


    People like Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe, Xue Yan, and Fu Yuan, who were the top talents dispatched by their respective civilizations, entered and had no news for so long.


    These civilizations dared not casually send any more successors.


    Inside the Mothership, in the Alien God area.


    Below one of the Wind System Alien God statues, a black-clad figure was seated cross-legged.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°That¡¯s it,¡± Li Yuan, who had been meditating and contemplating, following the mysterious fluctuations of the wind, finally caught that fleeting inspiration.


    An invisible fluctuation spread out.


    Hum~hum~hum~ silently, around Li Yuan, figures appeared out of thin air, some standing, others seated, and some standing in the distance with a silly grin.


    A total of nine figures, each with a different posture.


    ¡°The Mystery of Wind has finally completed its Transformation into the True Meaning of Wind,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s lips curled into a subtle smile.


    In early July, when he bid farewell to his teacher, he only managed to condense the embryonic form of True Intent, at the level of 99% of the Fifth Stage.


    And now, just three months later, he successfully stepped into the Sixth Stage, truly condensing True Intent.


    This was an astoundingly rapid pace.


    People like Bertman, Yu Jinghe, Lude Nef, it took at least a year or more for them to make this step.


    ¡°My talent in the Wind Law, after all, isn¡¯t as high as in the Law of Earth,¡± Li Yuan reflected inwardly.


    The breakthrough came so quickly.


    It was partly due to various fortuitous enhancements, but more importantly, in these past few months, Li Yuan had gone through life-and-death battles time and time again¡­ Each battle was a priceless trial.


    Until he arrived at the Alien God area and saw the nine stone walls of the Wind System Alien God. Borrowing inspiration from them, he made the leap forward in one fell swoop.


    ¡°Nine Great Phantom Bodies,¡± with a thought from Li Yuan, the nine phantom bodies simultaneously sprang into action.


    Bear in mind, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t used any Star Technique; these were formed from the Mystery of True Intent.


    It represented a new height Li Yuan had reached in the ¡°Phantom Body¡± direction.

 Chapter 554: 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_3

    Chapter 554: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_3


    ¡°Simply triggering the Nine Great Phantom Bodies doesn¡¯t greatly amplify strength,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently. ¡°The Mysteries of True Intent is too weak, and the attacking power of the Phantom Body is far from the Flying Heaven Level¡­ If I were to fight the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I¡¯m afraid the Phantom Body would be destroyed by his attacks.¡±


    But!!


    With the current grasp of the Mysteries of True Intent, when Li Yuan applied ¡°Nine Shadow Clones,¡± their power would soar dramatically¡­ Previously, the Nine Shadow Clones were forced, occasionally being hit by the enemy; that was because Li Yuan¡¯s understanding of The Mystery of Wind wasn¡¯t deep enough.


    But now, as Li Yuan¡¯s Skill Realm advanced further, the emergence of the Nine Shadow Clones became even more eerily unpredictable.


    ¡°The power of Star Technique is stronger.¡±


    ¡°My Spear Technique is also significantly stronger than before,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    Whoosh!


    A Black Chen Spear appeared in his hand; taking a step forward, the nine phantom bodies moved simultaneously, and as the long spear silently thrust forward, it had already crossed a kilometer of void.


    Not a sound was heard.


    Only an obscure trail of a spear mark remained in the void, which took a long time to fully dissipate.


    ¡°The speed has increased.¡±


    ¡°The attacking power, increased by about twenty percent.¡±


    ¡°This is still because the integration of my two great Mysteries of True Intent isn¡¯t thorough enough,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Once they are perfectly combined, the power of my Spear Technique should increase even more.¡±


    Thinking this.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes landed on the Divine Palace panel before him:


    [Skill Realm: True Meaning of Earth (Sixth Stage Intermediate Rank), True Meaning of Wind (Sixth Stage Initial Rank)¡­]


    Now, Li Yuan could truly be considered to have congealed two great Mysteries of True Intent.


    ¡°Continue to work hard.¡±


    ¡°If I follow this path, once each of the two great Mysteries of True Intent breaks through another step and then combine, my Spear Technique should be comparable to the Demigod Level,¡± Li Yuan anticipated eagerly.


    If he were to comprehend a single True Intent to reach the Sixth Stage Perfection Level, how difficult that would be.


    But once different True Intents combine, once on the right path, progress comes much quicker.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t waste too much time after initially combining the breakthroughs of the two great Mysteries of True Intent.


    He continued to contemplate under the Alien God statue.


    Fully congealing the True Meaning of Wind, Li Yuan¡¯s speed of understanding and deducing the nine stone pillars considerably accelerated.


    Just two days later.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally understood the sixth stone pillar,¡± Li Yuan said, observing the nine figures on the sixth stone pillar.


    If the Mysteries of True Intent hadn¡¯t broken through, he likely wouldn¡¯t have understood it so quickly.


    ¡°Three more stone pillars,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes moved to the last three stone pillars.


    The seventh stone pillar featured sixty-four figures.


    The eighth stone pillar featured one hundred figures.


    And the ninth stone pillar was densely packed with six hundred figures¡­ The further one went with the stone pillars, the more staggeringly the difficulty increased.


    ¡°To fully comprehend the nine stone pillars, Sixth Stage Perfection might not be enough,¡± Li Yuan secretly sighed. ¡°To understand the six stone pillars, Sixth Stage Initial Rank might be hopeful.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but recall Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words.


    Second Rank to arrive, hopeful to understand the six stone pillars; if at Third Order Life, should aim to comprehend the nine stone pillars¡­ Clearly, the requirements seemed higher for Third Order Life.


    ¡°Continue and try to comprehend the seventh stone pillar,¡± Li Yuan said patiently. ¡°I¡¯ve only just reached the baseline; I¡¯ll do my best to improve my skill level.¡±


    Li Yuan continued to ponder over the seventh stone pillar.


    In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, felt something and abruptly turned his head toward a nearby place.


    Boom~


    The initially flat metallic ground at the center of the Alien God area suddenly began to tremble violently; immediately afterward, the metallic ground split open, revealing a huge hole.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Four figures sprang out from the hole.


    ¡°What a pity.¡±


    ¡°Rolbis, you were just a bit short of winning.¡±


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s still Xue Yan¡¯s power that¡¯s formidable, breaking through directly and entering the Inner Layer. We¡¯ve been trapped in this trial area for so long, yet still failed to succeed.¡±


    ¡°Stop it, I waited for you guys for more than ten days at the first layer, and you all ended up failing,¡± the four chattered among themselves.


    But abruptly, their voices dwindled; they were shocked to see a figure in black not far off.


    A figure dressed in black, even the facial features completely obscured, was standing under that great Wind System Alien God statue looking at them.


    Rolbis, a handsome and elegant young man, had a trace of wariness in his eyes, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    To their senses, the man in black seemed to be only of Second Rank, but his life force felt exceptionally strong.


    ¡°Fellows, you must all be talents from the Myriad Demons Civilization, right?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was calm. ¡°This one should be Rolbis.¡±


    ¡°This one, should be Yu Fu.¡±


    ¡°This one should be Jin Liang¡¯s Direct Disciple ¡®Fu Yuan,¡¯ right?¡±


    ¡°And you? I don¡¯t recognize you, but to be here, you must have been a Prime Warrior Saint Heir from the Tianliang Civilization previously,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over them, pointing out their identities one by one.


    The moment these four appeared.


    Li Yuan had already executed Divine Palace Inquiry, confirming their life levels¡ª29.9 Level, 29.9 Level, 30.8 Level, 30.7 Level.


    Two Prime Warriors. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors.


    It should be noted that Li Yuan had long obtained extensive data on the talents of the Myriad Demons Civilization and Tianliang Civilization, especially the very top ones, quickly identifying them by their appearance.


    Rolbis and Lu Lei, hailing from the Myriad Demons Civilization, were the super geniuses Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai had warned about before.


    Both of their strengths were no lesser than Yu Jinghe or Lude Nef.


    Fu Yuan was regarded as the most formidable talent of this era in the Tianliang Civilization.


    As for Yu Fu and the last bald young man, Li Yuan didn¡¯t pay them much attention.

 Chapter 555: 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_4

    Chapter 555: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization_4


    These two people have already broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors, so it¡¯s almost certain that they cannot be the most top-tier geniuses.


    Just like the Seven Star Civilization, they would absolutely regret letting a genius like Yu Jinghe break through within Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡°Xue Yan and Lu Lei?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen them along the way. Have they both entered the Inner Layer?¡±


    Xue Yan was the genius from Myriad Demons Civilization Li Yuan was warned about as having the strongest strength before he entered the Mothership¡¯s Inner Layer.


    Rumble~ The split cavern had been slowly closing, but Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the other two, hearing Li Yuan single out their identities one by one, were already shaking with shock.


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡± Yu Fu stared at Li Yuan, whose outfit was somewhat different from before.


    ¡°Smart.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°You are the Spirit Gun?¡± A glint of curiosity shone in Rolbis¡¯s eyes as he stared at Li Yuan, ¡°You¡¯re facing the four of us alone, and you¡¯re not the least bit afraid?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    The youth in black, Fu Yuan, also stared at Li Yuan: ¡°I¡¯ve heard from the teacher that your strength is extremely strong, seemingly already close to level 34.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four genius powerhouses realized Li Yuan¡¯s identity and immediately scattered, surrounding him in a semi-encirclement and trapping Li Yuan in the center as if they were afraid he would escape.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Haha, Xue Yan said before that he wanted to deal with you after leaving the Mothership,¡± Rolbis laughed, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect we¡¯d run into you so soon. Perhaps one-on-one you might be stronger than any of us, but there are four of us.¡±


    ¡°Should kill.¡± Yu Fu glared at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Surrounding me?¡± Li Yuan was first stunned, then a smile emerged, ¡°Good, then come and kill me.¡±


    Li Yuan had realized that the four geniuses from Tianliang Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization knew nothing about his battle where he killed hundreds of Flying Heaven Beast Kings.


    ¡°Take action!¡±


    ¡°No more talking to him.¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Only a fight.¡± Rolbis, Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and the bald youth all moved at once, turning into four terrifying streaks of light, attacking Li Yuan from all four directions simultaneously.


    Their speed was incredibly fast, reaching over triple the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.


    Rolbis was the fastest, his speed surging to nearly quintuple the speed of sound.


    The four of them knew Li Yuan was exceedingly strong, but meeting on a narrow path, they had no reason to retreat.


    And all four were quite confident, especially Rolbis.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Rolbis¡¯s body instantly transformed into five meters tall, his body shrouded in a cyan glow, holding a terrifying Battle Axe in his hand¡­ The formerly elegant youth now resembled a War God.


    ¡°Seventh Layers Body Refining Star Technique? Such a strong life aura?¡± A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    He was starting to understand why Rolbis and the others were so confident.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡± With an angry shout from Rolbis, before he arrived, the wild life force had already begun to spread out.


    Whoosh!


    A massive axe glow tore through hundreds of meters of the Vast Sky, howling as it split towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Powerful!¡±


    ¡°Rolbis, worthy of being someone who is only a step away from the Inner Layer.¡±


    ¡°His strength is definitely comparable to level 33.¡± Expectation gleamed in the eyes of Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and the bald youth.


    But then.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Fu Yuan, also flying at high speed, changed his expression slightly, ¡°Not good! Rolbis, run!!¡±


    Just as Rolbis swung down his massive Battle Axe ferociously. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan, who had been waiting in place, finally moved; his body also inflated to five meters tall in an instant.


    A violent and powerful aura surged to the heavens.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan took a step forward, and with full force using ¡°Wind Feather,¡± his speed instantly surged to over eight times the speed of sound, like a terrifying meteor streaking across the sky.


    He charged straight into Rolbis¡¯s True Intent Domain, which barely affected him at all.


    ¡°What? This speed?¡± Rolbis¡¯s face also greatly changed, as he realized something was off.


    But by then it was already too late to retreat.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± A black Long Spear swept across the sky.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    The Long Spear and Battle Axe collided, a terrifying force transmitted through the weapons, instantly knocking Rolbis senseless, as his whole body was blasted away, and the Battle Axe in his hands flew out of his grasp.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A sweep of the spear across the sky, and Rolbis, still mid-flight, instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.


    Rolbis, dead!


    ¡°Now there¡¯s only the three of you left.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the other three, who were shocked beyond belief, and he murmured softly, ¡°Falling behind in intelligence can be deadly!¡±

 Chapter 559: 321: Laws Oath!

    Chapter 559: Chapter 321: Law¡¯s Oath! ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation


    The hall¡¯s arena was vast.


    But with these hundreds of Silver Armored Warriors surpassing the speed of sound as they ran, they had ferociously reached Li Yuan¡¯s front in an extremely short amount of time.


    Separated by several hundred meters, with Li Yuan¡¯s eyesight, he could even clearly see the minute pores on the faces of these Silver Armored Warriors¡­ aside from the faint trembling of the earth.


    He couldn¡¯t hear any breathing.


    ¡°Suppress!¡±


    Upon a thought from Li Yuan, his body instantly transformed into five meters tall, followed by subtle air currents that appeared out of nowhere within a hundred meters radius, combining the Mysteries of True Intent of both, after infusing them with Flying Heaven Level Origin Power, the air currents were like a myriad of blades.


    ¡°Puchi~¡± ¡°Pu!¡± Countless air currents, containing astonishing killing intent, crazily sliced through each Silver Armored Warrior, resulting in some having their arms cut off, bodies torn apart, or heads severed.


    They fell one after another!


    Then, these Silver Armored Warriors¡¯ bodies turned into numerous silver liquids, re-merging into the ground.


    However.


    At the edge of the arena, more silver liquid rose up, recondensing into Silver Armored Warriors and then once again, with howling intensity, charged towards Li Yuan.


    They were like wave after wave, endlessly assaulting Li Yuan.


    ¡°These Silver Armored Warriors, all have the strength of high-level Origin Martial Artists,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°They probably can¡¯t even break through my True Intent Domain.¡±


    In the blink of an eye, over five hundred Silver Armored Warriors had been swept away by Li Yuan.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Second Stratum!¡± A cold voice rang in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, belonging to Qiu Bingzun.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The number of Silver Armored Warriors appearing at the edge of the arena had increased, and their running speed was noticeably faster.


    ¡°Has their strength been generally raised, approaching that of a Top Grade Origin Martial Artist?¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    However, the increase in strength didn¡¯t make much difference; Li Yuan, relying on his True Intent Domain, was still able to sweep through them, not a single Silver Armored Warrior could get within fifty meters of him.


    ¡°Third Stratum Trial,¡± the cold voice rang out once more.


    ¡°Puchi!¡± ¡°His~¡± The might of the True Intent Domain remained astonishing, able to slaughter each newly formed Silver Armored Warrior, but it was obviously much more strenuous than before.


    ¡°If it were a regular Flying Heaven Martial Artist facing the attack of so many Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, they would either die or get skinned alive,¡± Li Yuan silently said to himself.


    But still, none could approach Li Yuan.


    The last Silver Armored Warrior charged to about twenty meters from Li Yuan, and was still shredded by the True Intent Domain.


    By this time, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t even moved his body, let alone used his weapon.


    ¡°Fourth Stratum Trial!¡±


    With the Fourth Stratum¡¯s Silver Armored Warriors, their strength suddenly surged greatly, the numerous blade-like air currents creating only small wounds on them.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level bodies?¡± A hint of coldness flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, as a weapon emerged in his hand.


    Boom! S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan finally made his move, wielding the Black Chen Spear and sweeping it towards the Silver Armored Warriors with a howling attack.


    ¡°Pu!¡± ¡°Peng!¡± ¡°Peng!¡± These Silver Armored Warriors, their killing intent sky-high, surged towards Li Yuan like a tide and were immediately torn to shreds as streaks of Spear Light flashed by.


    One sweep of the spear, and a swath of Silver Armored Warriors fell.


    ¡°Too weak,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, his two strongest Star Techniques had not even been used, since he had to conserve Origin Power; right now, it was purely the Black Chen Spear and skill that erupted.


    Without deploying the Star Techniques, the might of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was comparable to that of the 33rd Rank.


    The Fifth Stratum Trial!


    The Sixth Stratum Trial¡­ Li Yuan was slaughtering at an astonishing speed, not giving these Silver Armored Warriors any chance to pile up.


    ¡­


    Deep within the Mothership, in the far inner regions.


    Here was a huge light screen projection, displaying the scene of Li Yuan undergoing the Ten Layers Trial.


    ¡°Master, what do you think of him?¡± the colossal black Flying Serpent Phantom inquired respectfully: ¡°His speed of slaughter is quite astonishing, having killed up to the Sixth Stratum without even using the Body Refining Star Technique¡­ he certainly has a chance of breaking through all ten trials.¡±


    ¡°The odds are slim,¡± a gentle voice responded: ¡°If he had sufficient Origin Power, he would definitely make it through.¡±


    ¡°But after all, he is an Origin Martial Artist, and there is a limit to his storage of Origin Power. The stronger the Star Technique, the more Origin Power is consumed in battle¡­ Everything has its trade-offs.¡±


    ¡°However, getting past the Ninth Layer should not be difficult,¡± the gentle voice continued: ¡°Then, in the Inner Layer, spending some more time, he will be able to come and see me.¡±


    ¡°At just 20 years old, this Seven Star Civilization shouldn¡¯t be particularly strong, but the way he¡¯s combined the Earth and Wind Mysteries of True Intent to this extent¡­ is very monstrous.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s amazing that despite being only Second Rank, he can cultivate so many powerful Star Techniques; it must be an extraordinary Body Refinement Realm, indicating that his Star Meridian talent is also extremely high, with astonishing potential¡­ Overall, his talent is so great that not a single person from my youth or among my six Divine followers could catch up with him,¡± the gentle voice added.


    ¡°Congratulations, Master, you¡¯ve finally waited for the right candidate,¡± the black Flying Serpent Phantom quickly said with respect.


    ¡°No congratulations yet,¡± came the reply.


    ¡°No matter how monstrous he is, it all depends on his final choice,¡± the gentle voice slowly said: ¡°If he is unwilling, the more monstrous he is, the greater the threat to me.¡±


    ¡°Your subordinate understands,¡± came the affirmation.


    ¡°If he makes the wrong choice, then, it would be best to eliminate him sooner rather than later,¡± the black Flying Serpent Phantom said consecutively.


    ¡°Oh, the Eighth Stratum Trial has begun,¡± it remarked.


    ¡­


    In the Alien God area, the domain of trials.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Those Silver Warriors howled as they emanated a very strong aura, even beginning to invoke the powers of heaven and earth.


    Powerful!


    Each Silver Warrior possessed the fighting power of the Flying Heaven Level, and while Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Domain surged, it was hardly inflicting much damage on them, serving only to bind and slow their movements, making it difficult for them to encircle him.

    Chapter 560: Chapter 321: Law¡¯s Oath! ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°I had already passed the Sixth Layers of trials and was eligible to become a Direct Disciple of the Alien God,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was ice-cold, ¡°But to encounter Flying Heaven Level challenges at just the Eighth Layer of trials? Is it so difficult?¡±


    I am only 20 years old! Logically speaking, the difficulty should be much lower than that of Xue Yan¡¯s trials.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure flickered, transforming into a five-meter-tall giant, with a wild aura dispersing around him; he had finally managed to unleash the mighty Body Refinement Technique, the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯.


    ¡°Pffft!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s speed and strength surged dramatically, his figure becoming ghost-like, with the might of his Spear Technique also jumping from Level 33 directly to Level 35.


    Not a single Silver Armored Warrior could withstand a spear strike from Li Yuan, and they fell one after another.


    However, the consumption of his Origin Power, which had been quite slow at first, also soared by more than tenfold.


    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill! I must slaughter at the fastest speed,¡± Li Yuan was worried about unforeseen complications arising if things dragged on.


    While unleashing Star Techniques was terrifyingly powerful, compared to a true Flying Heaven Warrior, what Li Yuan lacked was the ¡®Origin Pill¡¯, which was crucial for the recovery speed and storage of Origin Power.


    For this reason, whenever Li Yuan had fought with many Flying Heaven powerhouses in the past, he always aimed for quick and decisive battles.


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan, having activated the All Things Divine Body, was truly ferocious, utterly sweeping through these Silver Armored Warriors who were at the Flying Heaven Level.


    During the Ninth Layer of trials, the power of the Silver Armored Warriors did not increase any further, but their skills were noticeably stronger.


    ¡°¡®Nine Shadow Clones¡¯!¡± Without any hesitation, Li Yuan unleashed his trump card,


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Nine Li Yuans flashed in the void, creating nine dazzling threads.


    The rate of slaughter rose again dramatically.


    And the consumption of Origin Power was even more breathtaking.


    ¡°Recover! Recover quickly!¡± The Six Star Pulse within Li Yuan¡¯s body was operating, frantically absorbing the power from the outside world, striving to convert it into his own Origin Power.


    The stronger the Star Meridian, the more Origin Power it could store, and the faster it could recover Origin Power.


    ¡­A quarter of an hour later.


    As the last Silver Armored Warrior fell,


    Transforming into a pool of silver liquid and dissipating, Li Yuan snapped out of the intense frenzy of slaughter.


    ¡°Is it over?¡± Li Yuan mused silently; the entire arena had become completely quiet.


    ¡°My Origin Power is less than ten percent remaining?¡± A wave of fear washed over him.


    The Silver Armored Warriors of the last Ninth and Tenth Layers were too formidable, likely nearing Level 32¡­ Luckily, these Silver Armored Warriors seemed to lack intelligence and did not truly join forces.


    Otherwise, Li Yuan feared that even if he exhausted all his Origin Power, he might not be able to eliminate all of them.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    Masses of light converged to form the figure of a stout single-horned shadow, surprise evident in its eyes: ¡°Spirit Gun, you actually made it through? Relying on so many Star Techniques, fighting so fiercely for such a long time, you were able to sustain your Origin Power.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that you are not Six Star Pulse, but Seven Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked curiously, ¡°Even with Seven Star Veins, it¡¯s not necessarily a given that one could pass through the Tenth Layer of trials.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Seven Star Veins?


    Indeed, he had only Six Star Pulse, yet each was extremely strong, with three being ¡®Perfect Star Veins¡¯. Just considering the recovery speed of Origin Power, he might be comparable to someone with Seven Star Veins.


    The likes of Ancient Torch Divine had Seven Star Veins, but only two were Perfect Star Veins.


    ¡°Elder, does this mean I have passed the trial?¡± inquired Li Yuan.


    ¡°Of course, it does.¡±


    ¡°The Ten Layers of trials left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine were never really anticipated to be directly passed by anyone,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°After all, your civilizations are too weak, barely even capable of birthing Seven Star Veins, let alone a peerless genius.¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless; to Qiu Bingzun, even Seven Star Veins did not seem significant.


    But considering the other¡¯s identity, Li Yuan somewhat relented.


    For many civilizations, Seven Star Veins were legendary, and many Demigods might never encounter even one in their lifetimes¡­ because Demigods could only live for a thousand years.


    Whereas Divines could live for five thousand years. With their greater strength and broader horizons, they had greater access than the Demigods¡­ Hence, awakening Seven Star Veins, though an incredibly strong talent to the Divines, was not unattainable.


    ¡°Like that young fellow named Xue Yan, he came close to passing through the Seventh Layer, which was already quite impressive,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°Of course, he is far from your level.¡±


    ¡°In terms of skill, he was not much weaker than you, but his Star Technique was far behind you.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, he is older than you, which made his trials even more difficult,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°Earlier, Yu Jinghe had barely managed to pass through the Sixth Layer of trials.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, realizing that Qiu Bingzun¡¯s attitude had shifted.


    Previously, he would not reveal such information.


    ¡°Before going to the Inner Layer core, you must first accept the Heritage of the Alien God,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. ¡°You have chosen the Wind System Alien God.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun pointed towards a spot not far from the arena, and the surrounding space trembled subtly.


    Whirr~ An abundance of light gathered, solidifying into a figure in a green robe, his expression cold, exuding a mysterious aura that even pressured Li Yuan.


    ¡°Wind System Alien God?¡± Li Yuan inhaled sharply, recognizing the figure at a glance.


    This green-robed Phantom resembled exactly the majestic statue outside.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The green-robed Phantom glanced at Qiu Bingzun, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, then seemingly received some reminder and returned to normal.


    ¡°I am but a Spiritual Imprint left by a Wind System Divine,¡± said the green-robed Phantom to Li Yuan. ¡°According to the Alien God Envoy, you are qualified to become my Direct Disciple and to receive the many treasures I have left behind¡­ But you should be aware that I have perished.¡±


    ¡°In reality, whether I take a Direct Disciple or not is of little significance to me,¡± the green-robed Phantom continued. ¡°I left this heritage as per the Honored Lord¡¯s request and because of my own final wish.¡±

    Chapter 561: Chapter 321: Law¡¯s Oath! ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±_3


    Li Yuan was listening.


    In the mouth of the Wind System Alien God, the ¡°Honored Lord¡± was probably the Heavenly Serpent Divine Being.


    ¡°Elder, what are your requirements?¡± Li Yuan asked. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°If you become a named disciple, there are no requirements. I will give you a treasure, and you may choose any one of the Seventh Layer Star Techniques from the ones I¡¯ve left behind,¡± the green-robed phantom said.


    ¡°If you become a named disciple, I will give you a more precious treasure, allowing you to select any one of the Star Techniques I¡¯ve left behind and bestow upon you a ¡®Visualization Method of the Divine Being,''¡± the green-robed phantom said, ¡°However, you must promise that after you become a deity, if you have the opportunity, you must go to my homeland ¡®Frostwind Star¡¯ and find a suitable being to become an Inner Sect Disciple and do your best to teach them to become a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Frostwind Star?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of confusion.


    What place is that? He had never heard of it!


    Keep in mind, with Li Yuan¡¯s level of access, he had interactions with many of the Foreign Civilizations around the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but he had never heard of Frostwind Star or the Frostwind Star planet.


    ¡°Elder, what if I can¡¯t find Frostwind Star?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°It¡¯s been less than ten thousand years; the possibility of my homeland being obliterated is quite low¡­¡± The green-robed phantom pondered for a moment: ¡°If by then you truly can¡¯t find it, it won¡¯t be considered a breach of your promise.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; this promise was indeed something to consider.


    It was a requirement that he would have to fulfill after becoming a deity, and right now, he was only Second Rank, still very far from becoming a deity.


    Moreover, it wasn¡¯t mandatory.


    ¡°Elder, what about a Direct Disciple?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°If you wish to become a Direct Disciple, you must agree to, after becoming a deity, go to Frostwind Star, protect it for a thousand years, and either produce ten Demigod disciples or cultivate one Divine Being,¡± the green-robed phantom looked at Li Yuan with a hint of expectation, ¡°Then, you will obtain all my residual Star Techniques, a hefty gift, a Visualization Method of the Divine Being, and a ¡®Spiritual Imprint.''¡±


    Upon hearing this,


    Li Yuan finally understood why Qiu Bingzun had reminded him early on to be cautious about wanting to become a Direct Disciple of an Alien God.


    There¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch.


    The condition was too harsh.


    Protect for a thousand years? He had only lived for so long, and a Fifth Order Divine Being could only live for five thousand years.


    As for cultivating a Divine Being? That was even more of a pipe dream. Even if he became powerful in the future, the life on Frostwind Star would need to have extremely high talent¡­ Divine Beings are not that easy to come into existence.


    ¡°Elder, may I see the Star Techniques you¡¯ve left behind?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°You may.¡± The green-robed phantom nodded, waving his hand and forming a light screen phantom beside himself.


    It displayed a series of names and descriptions of Star Techniques.


    ¡°Nine Layers Star Technique,¡± Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±: The first six layers can enhance the cultivator¡¯s compatibility with the Wind Law, one of the strongest in the dimensional rivers¡­


    ¡°Seventh Layer Star Technique,¡± Phantom Body Thousand Lights¡±¡­


    ¡°Seventh Layer Star Technique¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Densely packed with over ten Star Techniques, among them one Nine Layers Star Technique, four Seventh Layer Star Techniques, and the rest were Fifth and Sixth Layers Star Techniques.


    ¡°Nine Layers Star Techniques,¡± Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, immediately noticing this particular Star Technique,


    From its name to the description that followed, Li Yuan immediately judged that this must be the ¡°Supreme Auxiliary Star Technique¡± of the Wind Vein, presumably on the same level as the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.¡±


    This is it!


    Li Yuan already had his heart set on it.


    ¡°Young man, are you willing to become my Direct Disciple?¡± the Wind System Alien God looked at him with anticipation.


    He was aware that Li Yuan had passed the Tenth Layer tests, and such an exceptional genius was hard to come by.


    ¡°Elder, a thousand years is too long,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°I am willing to become your Inner Sect Disciple.¡±


    The treatment for a Direct Disciple was indeed very tempting, but the requirements were too stringent, and after a brief consideration, Li Yuan chose to give it up.


    All the remaining Star Techniques? Only that Supreme Star Technique attracted him.


    Spiritual Imprint? Could it match up to the Martial God Inheritance?


    Significant gift? Could it surpass what the Ancient Torch Divine had left for him?


    If Li Yuan¡¯s talent was lesser, born in a weaker civilization, or if he hadn¡¯t received the Ancient Torch Divine Inheritance¡­ perhaps he would have agreed.


    But with the external cultivation conditions Li Yuan already had, the entire legacy of this Wind System Alien God was just icing on the cake.


    The cost-benefit ratio was just too low.


    ¡°All right.¡± The green-robed phantom¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment,


    But he understood that a supreme genius like Li Yuan would almost certainly not agree to such harsh demands.


    However, he was just a spiritual imprint left by the Wind System Alien God and had to obey the commands left by the Wind System Alien God.


    ¡°Alien God Envoy,¡± the blue-robed phantom looked towards Qiu Bingzun at his side.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, words alone are not proof, you must swear an oath to the great laws of the Dao and make a divine oath,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°Only then will the Alien God believe you.¡±


    ¡°Divine oath?¡± Li Yuan felt puzzled.


    ¡°Powerful cultivators study the Law of the Great Dao, and the Law of the Great Dao has its own primordial will, we are all like children of the Law of the Great Dao¡­¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°To swear an oath to the Law of the Great Dao is to be bound by it.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the prerequisite is that the oath-maker steps into the threshold of the law and lights the divine fire with the Law of the Great Dao¡­ only then will the oath take effect.¡±


    ¡°An ordinary mundane oath is useless,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Like you now, having yet to step into the threshold of the law, there are no constraints¡­ but if one day you become a divine being, you will naturally feel the constraints in the unseen.¡±


    ¡°If you go against your true intent and don¡¯t fulfill it, you will naturally suffer from the backlash of the oath,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained.


    Li Yuan suddenly realized that there was such a method.


    However, according to Elder Qiu, it seemed that only a divine being making a divine oath would be bound.


    ¡°This is your oath,¡± Qiu Bingzun waved his hand, and a screen of light coalesced around Li Yuan¡¯s form, displaying many strange characters.


    To Li Yuan¡¯s surprise, although he did not recognize these characters, he could understand their meaning without hindrance.


    ¡°This is the ¡®Heaven and Earth Script,¡¯ originating from the mysteries of heaven and earth, anyone who has reached the level of true intent in their comprehension of heaven and earth can understand it,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained, ¡°In the vast dimensions of the river of time, the script of Star Civilization is the universal language.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    After reviewing the oath twice and confirming there were no errors, Li Yuan immediately spoke out, ¡°I, with the Law of the Great Dao as my witness, swear that if I become an Inner Disciple of the Ancient Serpent Divine and receive the promised treasures, once I become a divine being in the future¡­¡±


    The oath was established.


    But Li Yuan did not feel any change in himself, yet the blue-robed phantom already revealed a smile.


    ¡°The oath is complete, and when you step into the threshold of the law in the future, you will feel the response,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, and then lightly bowed to the blue-robed figure, ¡°Teacher.¡±


    ¡°No need for formalities,¡± the blue-robed phantom shook his head, ¡°Firstly, I am not truly the Ancient Serpent Divine, and secondly, this is essentially a transaction, merely a nominal mentor-apprentice relationship.¡±


    ¡°I can only wish you success in lighting the divine fire and achieving divinity in the future,¡± the blue-robed phantom said, his eyes complex as he looked at Li Yuan.


    Suddenly, his figure thunderously dissipated.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°He left?¡± Li Yuan was stunned, the gifts hadn¡¯t been given to him yet!!


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the treasure will be passed on to you by me,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°As an Inner Sect Disciple, the gift bestowed to you is a Ten Directions Five Elements Divine Crystal.¡±


    ¡°Ten Directions?¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, that would be worth a million Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°In addition, you have just witnessed the Star Technique of the Wind System Alien God, which one do you want?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked.


    ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation,¡± Li Yuan said without hesitation.


    ¡°That¡¯s a Ninth Layer Star Technique, and it¡¯s just a supplementary Star Technique,¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, ¡°You have already cultivated the Supreme Body Refining Star Technique, and your talent in the Earth Vein should be even higher, fully capable of cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein.''¡±


    ¡°This ¡®Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡¯ won¡¯t be as effective as other Sixth Layer Star Techniques if you can¡¯t cultivate it to a high level of proficiency. Are you sure you still want it?¡± Qiu Bingzun couldn¡¯t help but advise.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Other powerful practitioners might worry about insufficient strength in their star meridians, but he was not afraid; compared to the combat power provided by the Slaughter Star Technique, these types of supportive Star Techniques were far more important.


    Without the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡¯ he couldn¡¯t possibly have progressed so quickly in the Earth Vein.


    ¡°Okay,¡± seeing Li Yuan¡¯s determination, Qiu Bingzun no longer advised and waved his hand, which brought forth a thin storage treasure.


    It flew towards Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan extended his hand to receive it, sensing with his divine sense, the storage treasure had not been bounded yet, and the inner space was not large.


    Aside from the neatly arranged Ten Directions Five Elements Divine Crystals, there were two orbs emitting mysterious fluctuations.


    ¡°Divine Visualization Method? Star Technique?¡± Li Yuan sensed briefly, confirmed they were correct, and felt joy in his heart.


    The extra Divine Visualization Method, upon return, he could also find a way to exchange them for other cultivation necessities.


    One could say,


    that his total gain from this trip was immense.


    ¡°Do you wish to go to the Inner Core Realm now or later?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked.


    ¡°Is there any difference?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Not much of a difference,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°The Inner Core Realm is left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine, your talent and strength are sufficiently fiendish, there will be no further tests¡­ I only remind you, it¡¯s still a matter of choice.¡±


    ¡°If you want to gain something, you have to give something in return,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan.

 Chapter 562: 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)

    Chapter 562: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)


    To obtain what he desired, a price had to be paid? Li Yuan pondered deeply.


    The Heavenly Serpent Divine had paid such a great price, especially by bringing this mothership, there must be some scheming involved.


    There¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, especially from those who are neither family nor friends.


    ¡°To go or not to go?¡± A flicker of hesitation crossed Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    He quickly weighed his options.


    Having barely made it through the ten trials of the Heavenly Serpent Divine, when push came to shove, how could he just give up?


    If the Heavenly Serpent Divine truly wanted to force him to do something, he was already inside the mothership, and just by the means the other party had shown, he was completely powerless to resist, there was no need to offer him a choice.


    This meant that whatever the Heavenly Serpent Divine had left behind wasn¡¯t that malicious, at least it wasn¡¯t purely malicious.


    The most critical point was that Xue Yan and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡­ both had already entered the inner layer, and might enter the core area at any moment.


    Especially Xue Yan.


    According to Elder Qiu¡¯s words just now, his level of skill should have already reached ¡®Sixth Stage High Rank¡¯, which was a terrifying level of skill for a Prime Warrior, so it was no wonder he could become a disciple of the Divine.


    Such a genius, letting him attempt the challenge¡­ Li Yuan had a feeling that the Heavenly Serpent Divine might be no weaker than the Ancient Torch Divine, and could even be stronger.


    Such a treasure left by a powerful Divine Being.


    It could completely change the power dynamics between different civilizations.


    If it fell into the hands of the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Seven Star Civilization would face even greater pressure in the future.


    ¡°There¡¯s danger, but it¡¯s also an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°I received the inheritance of the Ancient Torch Divine, which allowed me to make rapid progress and grow quickly,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If I can get a share of the Heavenly Serpent Divine¡¯s treasure, it will help me grow even faster.¡±


    The path of cultivation should be steady above all.


    Therefore, before venturing out into the Star Realms, Li Yuan always strove to reach the peak of his strength.


    But when it¡¯s time to fight, you have to fight.


    ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Elder Xie Qiu.¡± Having made up his mind, Li Yuan said respectfully, ¡°If there¡¯s no difference between going sooner or later, then I might as well go now.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°You chose this path yourself,¡± Elder Qiu revealed a slight smile, ¡°I have warned you several times¡­ in the future, don¡¯t come blaming me.¡±


    Before Li Yuan could speak again.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Elder Qiu¡¯s hand, an invisible force emerged out of thin air, directly enveloping Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan felt a thunderous roar in his head, swept by a terrifying force he couldn¡¯t resist; even with his Spiritual Will, he couldn¡¯t block this force¡¯s invasion¡­ In an instant, he fell into unconsciousness.


    Immediately after, Li Yuan¡¯s body vanished into thin air.


    Only the towering Phantom with a single horn remained in the hall.


    ¡°The first plan has failed.¡±


    ¡°Originally, the plan was to temporarily choose Xue Yan, who was barely acceptable as a replacement.¡± Elder Qiu murmured to himself, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to be directly presented with such an extraordinary genius, even in the vast Divine Realm, geniuses like this are very rare.¡±


    ¡°We can start on the second plan.¡±


    ¡°It seems as if the heavens themselves are blessing our Heavenly Serpent clan,¡± Elder Qiu thought to himself, ¡°Spirit Gun? Li Yuan? I hope, with my help, you won¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    ¡°Go and grasp that slim hope.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, Bright Moon Base.


    While Li Yuan was venturing inside the mothership.


    Tavares, Jiang Zai, Luo Chan, and the others had already retreated back to Bright Moon Base.


    As time passed day by day, with no news coming from the mothership, many True Intent Martial Artists were leaving¡­ After all, these Martial Artists each had their own cultivation plans and couldn¡¯t wait forever in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Of course, under the higher-ups¡¯ coordination, Bright Moon Base still maintained formidable combat strength.


    Inside one of the Fourth-order Battleships, within a super-large conference room, on one side, two special instruments were placed, exuding an invisible force, and two blood-red Crystal Stones floated in the middle, supported by the instruments.


    These were Life Crystals, representing the Marks of life for Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan respectively. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The state of the Life Crystals could be used to judge their life and death.


    In this conference room, Martial Artists would take turns guarding the Life Crystals, watching over them at all times.


    Suddenly.


    One of the blood-red Crystal Stones suddenly erupted in a burst of light, the brilliance was so intense that it almost covered the entire super-large conference room, and then as the light receded, it quickly dimmed, turning the Crystal Stone completely ¡®white¡¯.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This!¡± The two Martial Artists guarding that day, seeing this scene, were utterly shocked.


    They looked at each other with horror in their eyes, ¡°It¡¯s Spirit Gun¡¯s Life Crystal.¡±


    ¡°The Life Crystal has dimmed!¡±


    Without any hesitation, the two Martial Artists immediately initiated emergency communication, and soon Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan rushed over.


    The three of them were the current leaders at Bright Moon Base.


    When they saw the dimmed Life Crystal, their hearts trembled, fully aware of what it meant.


    A dimmed Life Crystal indicated the death of its host.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, dead? Fallen in the Divine Land?¡± Tavares¡¯s heart shook, ¡°How is that possible, how could the powerful Spirit Gun die?¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Demigod just recently messaging that Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was likely killed by Spirit Gun?¡± Tavares couldn¡¯t believe his eyes.


    In his heart, even the Three Great Beast Emperors together might not be able to kill Li Yuan.


    Jiang Zai was equally breathless, he knew full well the significance of Spirit Gun¡­ If Spirit Gun had fallen and the other two Beast Emperors were still alive, it likely meant that Bright Moon Base couldn¡¯t be held in the future.


    Of the three.


    Luo Chan was the most shocked, ¡°Li Yuan is dead?¡±


    She alone knew that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Moments later, this explosive news had already been transmitted back to the highest echelons of the Seven Star Civilization by Tavares and the others.

    Chapter 563: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)_2


    ¡°The Life Crystal is dimming?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is dead?¡± San Ye Semi Divine, Bai Shan Semi Divine, and Fang Hai, the three high-ranking officials in charge of the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm, were almost dumbfounded when they received this news.


    The three immediately convened a meeting in the virtual network.


    ¡°What happened? How could Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal suddenly dim?¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Could it be that the Life Crystal is damaged?¡±


    ¡°That is a treasure bestowed by the Alliance Hierarch.¡± San Ye Semi Divine shook his head, ¡°Even separated by hundreds of millions of miles, located on different planets, it can accurately judge life and death¡­ unless one is in a different spatial world, but Li Yuan and the Life Crystal are currently both within the Mingxu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°As for the Life Crystal being damaged? In the past few decades, the Life Crystal has never broken.¡±


    As the chief steward of the Starfire Martial Hall, San Ye Semi Divine was quite familiar with the properties of these treasures.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask my teacher.¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t sit still any longer; he couldn¡¯t believe that Li Yuan would die within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai¡¯s virtual figure disappeared instantly, obviously having gone to inquire from Dongfang Ji¡­ Soon after, his consciousness descended into the virtual world again, his expression looking very grim.


    San Ye Semi Divine and Fang Hai exchanged glances, their hearts sinking, both understanding the outcome.


    ¡°The teacher said.¡±


    ¡°Unless Li Yuan suddenly left the Mingxu Star Realm, the Life Crystal would not show his fall.¡± Fang Hai said in a low voice, ¡°There is one exception, in that Divine Land, there are some extremely special and secretive places that can block the Life Crystal¡¯s sensing abilities.¡±


    ¡°Once the Life Crystal cannot sense the existence of its host, it will decide the host has fallen, and naturally, it will become dim.¡±


    Both Semi-Divines¡¯ hearts rose with a thread of hope once again.


    ¡°It¡¯s just.¡±


    ¡°According to the teacher¡¯s meaning, such secretive places, even the usual Divine beings cannot open them up, like our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Seven Great Planets, none have places that can block the sensing of the Life Crystal.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the probability of having such a place is very, very small.¡±


    Both Semi-Divines fell into the abyss of despair once again.


    This statement was almost a death sentence for Li Yuan!


    ¡°Did the Alliance Hierarch say what we should do now?¡± San Ye Semi Divine couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Wait!¡± Fang Hai said solemnly, ¡°For now, Yu Jinghe is not dead, Xue Yan is still alive, the two Beast Emperors should still be alive as well¡­ All this is enough to prove that the so-called Divine Land is not a death ground for outsiders.¡±


    ¡°We can only assume that Li Yuan has fallen into some extremely dangerous and mysterious place.¡±


    ¡°But as long as he is alive, he will eventually come out.¡± Fang Hai said in a low voice.


    San Ye Semi Divine and Bai Shan Semi Divine fell silent.


    Wait? What an excruciating process.


    ¡­


    At the Bright Moon Base, inside a Fourth-order Battleship.


    A light screen projection emerged, showing a figure in white robes.


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi Divine.¡± Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan greeted him with great respect.


    ¡°The news of the Spirit Gun¡¯s death cannot be fully confirmed yet, our high-level executives also do not believe that the Spirit Gun would just die like that.¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine said in a grave voice, ¡°The three of you must also strictly keep this a secret, and must not let it leak out.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The three said in unison, all aware of the seriousness of the matter.


    Once it spread, it would most likely cause panic.


    ¡°You all must be prepared to retreat at any moment.¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine said seriously, then his gaze rested on Tavares and Jiang Zai, ¡°Tavares, Jiang Zai, treasures are being assembled at the fastest speed from the Alliance treasury to elevate your training to a higher level¡­¡±


    ¡°Once we make a significant retreat.¡±


    ¡°You will need to lead the other Flying Heaven Warriors to flee within the Mingxu Star Realm, trying to hold out within the Mingxu Star Realm until you have the strength to resist the Beast Emperors.¡± Bai Shan Semi Divine said with a light sigh.


    ¡°Understood.¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai responded solemnly.


    Having chosen to break through to Flying Heaven Warrior within the Mingxu Star Realm, they had naturally prepared for the worst-case scenario.


    In the event of a major retreat, individuals like Luo Chan and An Yongya, True Intent Prime Warriors, could evacuate along the Star Realm¡¯s pathways.


    But for those like them, who had already broken through to Flying Heaven Warrior, they would have to remain within the Star Realm.


    If it came to that, they would have to choose between a desperate fight or fleeing like the current Flying Heaven Beast King, hiding and struggling within the Star Realm, waiting to accumulate enough power before counterattacking.


    ¡­


    In Blue Star Xia Country¡¯s Jiangnan Province.


    Within the nearly imperceptible Ancient Divine Palace, a young girl in white clothes who had been leisurely waiting for Li Yuan¡¯s return.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Gu Youyin sensed something, suddenly looked up, a trace of surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.


    Whoosh! Her figure disappeared from the main hall in an instant.


    Following that, she appeared in another hall.


    The hall was empty, except for a Glazed Antique Lamp suspended in the void, emitting a strange light.


    At this moment, the light from the lamp flickered dimly.


    ¡°The Spiritual Lamp¡¯s flame is flickering?¡± The girl¡¯s eyes filled with worry, ¡°Li Yuan, what happened to you in that Star Realm? You¡¯d better not die in there.¡±


    The Spiritual Lamp was a treasure far more superior than the Life Crystal.


    Through the condition of the Spiritual Lamp, the girl could infer that Li Yuan probably faced significant trouble.


    Previously, she had said she did not care about Li Yuan¡¯s life or death, but now at this moment, she was also extremely anxious.


    However, if it were in a normal Dimensional Plane, she could go for Inquiry and even rescue, but in an Exterior Dimensional Star Realm? She did not dare enter. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    One day, two days, ten days, a month¡­ time quietly passed.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal still did not light up again.


    Yu Jinghe¡¯s Life Crystal, however, continued as normal, and this contrast slowly extinguished the flame of hope in the hearts of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s high-ranking officials.


    After forty days had passed, even those like Bai Shan Semi Divine and Fang Hai, who held great hope for Li Yuan, began to waver in their convictions.


    The only thing that still gave them a glimmer of hope was that Yu Jinghe and individuals from the Myriad Demons Civilization like Xue Yan also had not left the ¡®Divine Land¡¯.

 Chapter 564: 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Months End)_3

    Chapter 564: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)_3


    The two Beast Emperors that seemed to still be alive also didn¡¯t emerge.


    These situations made the already mysterious Mingxu Star Realm¡¯s ¡®Divine Land¡¯ seem even more elusive and puzzling.


    Within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    The Tianliang Civilization, Seven Star Civilization, and the Mingxu Beast Clan, these three forces, all dared not make any rash moves.


    Both civilizations were entrenched in their only base.


    The Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan didn¡¯t dare to show themselves either, all hiding away, which actually led to a delicate balance within the Mingxu Star Realm.


    ¡­


    In Xia Country¡¯s Jiangbei City, at the Starfire Martial Hall¡¯s South Lake District, late into the night.


    Inside the villa.


    ¡°Changzhou, Li Yuan won¡¯t encounter any trouble, will he?¡± Chen Hui lay in bed, growing more and more uneasy: ¡°Even when he was busy cultivating in Feixing, he would occasionally send us messages, to reassure us.¡±


    ¡°How come there¡¯s not been a single message for more than a month?¡± Chen Hui¡¯s voice was full of worry.


    Previously.


    Even when following Lie Feng Semi Divine for a year of cultivation, Li Yuan, aside from his diligent training, would usually send some messages home every half a month using his Flying Heaven Level privileges from Feixing.


    To put his uncle and aunt¡¯s minds at ease.


    Over a month without a single message? Not even replying to the numerous messages from Li Changzhou and Chen Hui¡­ It was the first time.


    ¡°It is a bit strange.¡±


    The usually composed Li Changzhou was also getting restless, touching his wife¡¯s hand and saying, ¡°But don¡¯t worry too much, you know Li Yuan¡¯s situation well. Isn¡¯t he Xia Country¡¯s top martial path talent of all time? Didn¡¯t he tell us last time that he is already a top-grade Prime Warrior?¡±


    ¡°For a powerful martial artist like him to practice and travel for several months at a time is quite normal,¡± said Li Changzhou.


    ¡°But he should at least send back some messages,¡± expressed Chen Hui anxiously.


    ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll contact Lord Yang of the Province tomorrow,¡± Li Changzhou consoled his wife.


    Since Li Yuan entered the Martial Divine Star Realm his privileges had increased.


    As Li Yuan¡¯s family, Li Changzhou and the others had the right to directly contact the ¡®Lord Yang of the Province¡¯ of the Starfire Jiangbei branch.


    ¡­


    Feixing, a mysterious place not far from the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal has dimmed, it¡¯s been over 40 days,¡± a deep voice said: ¡°I¡¯m worried, has he really fallen¡­ On the other hand, as a member of the Martial Divine Star Realm, and including the time he spent in quiet cultivation before, he has now completely disappeared for over two months.¡±


    ¡°Now, many people are speculating about where Li Yuan has gone,¡± the deep voice said: ¡°Although Duanmu Hong has issued an order, it has temporarily suppressed many guesses.¡±


    ¡°But if this continues, three months, six months¡­ this news will sooner or later become impossible to conceal.¡±


    ¡°Such a young talent cannot be absent forever,¡± stated the deep voice.


    Now, the name ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ had spread across many Foreign Civilizations, attracting great attention from the younger generation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But civilizations like the Myriad Demons Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, and Immortal Ruins Civilization, were all still very concerned about Li Yuan.


    After all, compared to ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ Li Yuan is much younger and his potential is incredibly astonishing.


    ¡°Keep a close watch on Xue Yan, Yu Jinghe, and others. As soon as they emerge, be sure to find out as quickly as possible what¡¯s happening within the Divine Land,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said: ¡°I want to know, which divine entity orchestrated the placement of this mothership.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the deep voice responded.


    The mysterious space once again settled into silence.


    But Dongfang Ji¡¯s heart could not be completely at ease.


    ¡°So much time has passed without any message, could it be, Li Yuan is truly dead?¡± Dongfang Ji pondered with a heavy heart.


    Before Li Yuan appeared, he had great expectations for Fang Hai, believing Fang Hai could surpass Lant in the future to become the top-grade Demigod of the Seven Star Civilization.


    And even become a Divine entity to take over his own burden.


    Then, Li Yuan appeared.


    After initially grasping Li Yuan¡¯s talent, Dongfang Ji was quite interested, and only after a little more than a year, Li Yuan¡¯s growth rate was beyond imagination¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s strength was not yet equivalent to Fang Hai¡¯s.


    But in his heart, the significance of Li Yuan had long surpassed Fang Hai¡¯s, even believing Li Yuan might one day surpass himself. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But now?


    ¡°I hope he can survive,¡± Dongfang Ji sighed internally, having seen many talented individuals fall before.


    Dongfang Ji understood, once Li Yuan died, for the Seven Star Civilization to birth another monstrous talent would perhaps take thousands of years.


    What a pity.


    Even someone as strong as Dongfang Ji, faced with the Mingxu Star Realm, could only wait.


    ¡­


    While the outside world was noisy and turbulent with undercurrents swirling,


    The inside of the mothership was comparatively peaceful, with no further major conflicts erupting.


    In the Inner Layer, Yu Jinghe, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, the three were each in a special passage, desperately cultivating in hopes of entering the Inner Core Realm.


    Only Li Yuan.


    In the trial grounds of the Alien God region, he had been struck by that invisible force and subsequently lost consciousness.


    Li Yuan felt as though he had had a very long dream, the longest dream he had ever had in his life¡­ as if he had been asleep for a very, very long time.


    Finally!


    ¡°Huh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness suddenly cleared, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and shortly after, he opened his eyes.


    Bolting upright, he instinctively looked around.


    This was an incredibly vast hall, with ten majestic pillars supporting the hall, each shining with a metallic glow, each pillar¡¯s height probably exceeding ten kilometers.


    On the pillars were carved spiraling flying serpents, akin to coiling dragons.


    At the four corners of the hall was emptiness, and vaguely, invisible forces obstructed Li Yuan¡¯s line of sight.


    This expansive hall seemed as though it was suspended above the void.


    ¡°Me?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze withdrew, belatedly realizing that he was sitting on a massive Jade Platform in the center of the hall.

    Chapter 565: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month¡¯s End)_4


    That is to say, he had been lying down all this time.


    ¡°What happened to me?¡± Li Yuan was initially somewhat perplexed.


    With his powerful spiritual consciousness, he was very sensitive to the passage of time; he hadn¡¯t noticed it while he was asleep, but now he quickly distinguished it. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This made Li Yuan realize, ¡°I¡¯ve been asleep for forty-six days?¡±


    He had never slept that long in one go before.


    ¡°Is this the Inner Core Realm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was wary, ¡°Why did I sleep for so long? What¡¯s the situation outside?¡±


    Suddenly, a look of shock crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°The Wind Fluctuations in the world around me¡­¡± Li Yuan noticed changes in himself, with the clarity of his sensitivity to the Mystery of the Wind likely being several times stronger than before.


    Even the mysterious fluctuations of other Laws of the Great Dao now seemed much clearer to him.


    It was as if, during the time he had been asleep, Li Yuan¡¯s talents had undergone another Transformation.


    ¡°You finally woke up.¡± A familiar voice suddenly echoed in the hall.


    Whoosh~Whoosh!


    Streams of light converged to form two Phantoms, both of which were figures Li Yuan had seen before.


    One Phantom was the Black Snake Phantom, the training officer, who now seemed to be just like a follower.


    The other was a burly humanoid figure, with a single horn and clad in thick Combat Armor¡ªit was the ¡®Alien God Envoy¡¯ Qiu Bingzun. Only now, the aura he emitted was vigorous and fierce, and he seemed almost real, much stronger than before.


    Just standing there, Qiu Bingzun made Li Yuan¡¯s heart tremble.


    ¡°Elder Qiu?¡± Li Yuan got up from the Jade Platform, unable to help asking, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Little fellow.¡± The Black Snake Phantom laughed, ¡°Why call him Elder anymore? You should address him as the respected, the great ¡®Respected One¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Respected One?¡± A shock went through Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°In my Heavenly Serpent race, only the most exalted beings are worthy of being called Respected Ones.¡± The Black Snake Phantom solemnly said, ¡°Even in the Divine Realm¡¯s Heavenly Serpent Temple, the Respected Ones have the privilege of leaving their names behind.¡±


    Listening, Li Yuan was bewildered and couldn¡¯t help but look toward the burly figure with the horn.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan realized.


    No wonder some things had felt odd before. As an Alien God Envoy, why did he repeatedly remind me to be wary of the Heritage? Shouldn¡¯t he logically be tempting me into accepting the Alien God¡¯s Heritage, the treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine?


    Qiu Bingzun, the Respected One.


    So that was how it was.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, you are not mistaken.¡± Qiu Bingzun stepped forward, smiled, and came in front of Li Yuan, ¡°I am indeed the master of this Mothership, and also the Heavenly Serpent Divine ¡®Qiu Bingzun¡¯ you speak of.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to call me Respected One, just continue to refer to me as Elder Qiu.¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Elder Qiu.¡± Li Yuan gave a wry smile.


    ¡°You must have many questions in your heart, don¡¯t be anxious, I will explain them to you gradually.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled, ¡°Since I chose you, naturally I will not hide anything from you.¡±


    ¡°How do you feel now that you¡¯ve integrated the Sacred Artifact ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯?¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled.


    Startled by these words, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The changes in my body, are they because I¡¯ve integrated this artifact?¡±


    ¡°Sacred Artifacts, even to Respected Ones, are precious treasures.¡± The Black Snake Phantom said, ¡°You¡¯ve been asleep for so many days because you were Refining and integrating the artifact.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, your body is formidable; you succeeded in Refinement in just over forty days. The Respected One and I thought it would take at least half a year.¡± The Black Snake Phantom said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    ¡°The Spirit of the Heavenly Wind is of great use even to Divine beings,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, ¡°And for those below the level of Divine beings, its greatest effect is akin to modifying your body and bloodline, greatly increasing your affinity with the Wind Law¡­ it works best with Second Rank and Third Rank life forms.¡±


    ¡°For Demigods, their bodies are too strong, so the effect would be much less.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled, ¡°This is also why I only select Second Rank and Third Order Life.¡±

 Chapter 566: 323 Mortal Domain, Divine Realm, Heavenly Divine (Extra 36)

    Chapter 566: Chapter 323 Mortal Domain, Divine Realm, Heavenly Divine (Extra 36)


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was shocked as he listened.


    He had never heard of such a treasure before.


    Until now, the only things he knew that could enhance Law Compatibility were auxiliary Star Techniques for cultivation, such as ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡±, and these required extremely high demands on the Star Meridian, which were very stringent.


    ¡°Kid, it¡¯s your luck to have obtained the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind in this barren Mortal Domain,¡± the Black Snake Phantom said with a smile. ¡°Only a Hierarch could bring it out. Ordinary True Gods wouldn¡¯t even hope to have it.¡±


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished. A True God?


    According to what Gu You had said before, a Fifth Order Divine Being could only be considered a Pseudo-God.


    Looking at it now, the Heavenly Serpent Divine ¡®Qiu Bingzun¡¯ must be a very strong existence even among True Gods.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also remembered the term ¡®Mortal Domain¡¯. Was this referring to the Dimensional Domain he was in?


    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to his exaggeration,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°Such origin treasures like Spirit of the Heavenly Wind are indeed good, but some super beings in the vast Divine Realm can still take them out. Yet when they cultivate their disciples, not every one of them can become a True God. Even igniting the Divine Fire is difficult for some.¡±


    ¡°External things are only an aid.¡±


    ¡°Just like the Heaven Snake, True Phoenix, and Divine Dragon clans, they are destined to become gods by nature. But so what? Most can only ignite the Divine Fire.¡±


    ¡°Whereas the Human Race, spread across all domains and being mostly frail at birth, has continuously given birth to super beings that shakes the Divine Realm over the long years.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Divine shook his head. ¡°Now, Humans have the most dominant presences in the Divine Realm.¡±


    The Divine Realm? Li Yuan held his breath.


    This was not the first time he had heard this term.


    ¡°Ultimately, it depends on the individual,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°The Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, or your future cultivation of the ¡®Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation¡¯, can greatly speed up your cultivation rate, but the many bottlenecks on the path to becoming a god¡­ it still depends on your spirit.¡±


    ¡°Law Compatibility is a part of the talent for Enlightenment, but it¡¯s not everything,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°It can only be said that it increases the probability of you becoming a strong being, allowing you to walk the path of the strong faster and more steadily.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    These were the experience summaries of an extremely powerful being.


    But Li Yuan also understood that their perspectives were different.


    To Qiu Bingzun, perhaps achieving Demigod or Fifth Order Divine Being was nothing.


    But for himself, for the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    If they could give birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being, that would be a tremendous event, enough to change the fate of the entire civilization.


    ¡°In any case.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Elder, for this treasure,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully. ¡°May I know what you want me to do?¡±


    From his previous interactions with Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan was clear that the other party was likely not choosing a Successor.


    Otherwise, it would not have been so much trouble.


    ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you slowly,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°Have you heard of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains?¡±


    A hint of confusion appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes. What was that?


    ¡°How about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked again.


    A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, and after hesitating, he nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve heard an elder in my clan mention it once. It seems to be a mysterious place within the Dimensional Domain that only Demigods are qualified to explore.¡±


    His teacher Lie Feng had mentioned it once.


    Back then, Lie Feng and the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji met in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.


    ¡°Hmm, it seems your civilization is quite powerful indeed. That makes sense, you managed to cultivate powerful Body Refinement Techniques, and your civilization has quite a few Fourth-order Battleships¡­ It should have given birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan did not speak.


    Divine Beings? His civilization did not have any¡­ but the Alliance Hierarch could bring out treasures that were probably stronger than many Fifth Order Divine Beings.


    Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°You must have guessed that I am not a creature from your Mortal Domain, but rather from the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Elder,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°What exactly are the ¡®Mortal Domain¡¯ and ¡®Divine Realm¡¯?¡±


    ¡°The universe is vast, and the heaven and earth revolve, filled with countless unknowns. The Divine Realm and the Mortal Domain are both part of the Dimensional River, belonging to a Starry Sky,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with enigmatic colors in his eyes. ¡°The so-called Divine Realm is essentially an extremely vast and expansive ¡®super Dimensional Domain¡¯ where Origin Power is rich, filled with countless Life Planets¡­ Over billions of years, it has developed dazzling Origin Power technology and given birth to many powerful Divine beings.¡±


    ¡°Gods compete for supremacy, numerous clans strive for dominance, and many powerful sects, kingdoms, and civilizations rise, while others are destroyed, among them some that had given birth to Heavenly Divines, great realms and civilizations have been annihilated,¡± a touch of melancholy flashed in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes.


    Li Yuan was also shocked, taking a deep breath.


    Goodness! The outside world was so vast and expansive, just hearing about it made one¡¯s blood boil with excitement.


    ¡°The Divine Realm is the core of this vast Starry Sky, the essence, the prime region,¡± Qiu Bingzun continued. ¡°While the Dimensional Domain you are in is an ¡®ordinary Dimensional Domain¡¯ that is part of the operation of the Divine Realm, it also has a vast Source operating inside it, maintaining the stability of the entire Dimensional Domain.¡±


    ¡°However, ordinary Dimensional Domains are too weak compared to the Divine Realm, usually having far fewer resources and treasures, and produce fewer Divine Beings. The places where Mortal lives reside, hence they are also called ¡®Mortal Domains¡¯,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained.


    Li Yuan finally understood.


    The so-called Mortal Domain and Divine Realm, in essence, don¡¯t differ fundamentally, it¡¯s just a matter of strength.


    ¡°Of course, under the operation of a common Dimensional Domain¡¯s origin, to maintain stability, over the course of evolution, there is often a gradual formation of barriers between planes. Different planes are protected by the laws of heaven and earth, making it difficult for the divines within the domain to traverse the starry sky and reach different dimensional planes.¡±


    ¡°Ultimately, the majority of divines will follow the guidance of the origin of the Dimensional Domain and head towards the Divine Realm.¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, ¡°A vast number of Mortal Domains revolve around the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°With a large congregation of divines, plus those born within the Divine Realm itself¡­ naturally, the Divine Realm is filled with wonders.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, this did remind him of a term¡ªascension.


    But it seemed not quite the same.


    ¡°Elder, are there many divines within the Divine Realm?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Many! If there weren¡¯t many divines, could it be called the Divine Realm?¡± Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, ¡°But in some sense, not many either.¡±


    Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°Kid.¡± The Black Snake Phantom beside them laughed, ¡°There indeed is a large number of divines, but that¡¯s the total number¡­ The Divine Realm is vast and boundless, with countless stars and lives incalculable. Just like in your lesser civilizations, divines often serve as the leaders of a civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, even a Fifth Order Divine Being could easily rule a Life Planet, mastering the life and death of billions.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    Even in the Divine Realm, a Fifth Rank Divine Being was a very strong existence.


    It was just that the Divine Realm was so vast that it made ordinary divines seem insignificant.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why would those divines want to go to the Divine Realm?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Could it be that the operation of the laws of heaven and earth forces divines to go to the Divine Realm?¡±


    Staying in the Mortal Domain, as a leader of a civilization, one could live freely and at ease.


    ¡°That won¡¯t be forced.¡±


    ¡°However, under the operation of the Dimensional Domain¡¯s origin, it is not keen on the emergence of extremely powerful divines. The stronger one¡¯s essence, the more they will face the invisible suppression of the origin,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained, ¡°Just like you now, you can venture through numerous Second Level and Third Level Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°But what about the divines? Fifth Level Star Domains are quite rare,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°Being a leader of a civilization might be exciting at first, especially when friends and loved ones are possibly still around.¡±


    ¡°But what about after five hundred years? A thousand years? Two thousand years?¡± Qiu Bingzun said with some emotion, ¡°A life without purpose is very boring, being trapped in a single Dimensional Plane is like being in a cage, and former friends and loved ones pass away one after another, scarcely leaving behind any attachment¡­ When you look around, all you see are your juniors and descendants.¡±


    ¡°Can you imagine what that kind of life is like?¡± Qiu Bingzun looked towards Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was silent.


    ¡°The most crucial thing is lifespan,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Demigods live for a thousand years.¡±


    ¡°At Fifth Rank, igniting Divine Fire, they become Pseudo-Gods, living for five thousand years.¡±


    ¡°At Sixth Rank, they begin to solidify their Divine Heart, becoming True Gods, with a lifespan of thirty thousand years.¡±


    ¡°And at Seventh Rank, refining their Divine Nature, they become Heavenly Divines, living for three hundred thousand years!¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke softly.


    Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Pseudo-Gods, True Gods, Heavenly Divines?¡± Li Yuan finally understood the divisions among the divines.


    Li Yuan was also shocked by the lifespans of True Gods and Heavenly Divines.


    Three hundred thousand years? What an unfathomably long time!


    ¡°Pseudo-Gods and True Gods, not fast enough to fly, still need to use technological means to roam the cosmos, making use of Star Gates for passage; but Heavenly Divines, on their own, can traverse the cosmic space, shattering planets without effort.¡±


    ¡°In the eyes of the Divine Realm, they are all peak powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°With the long lifespans and formidable powers, Heavenly Divines fear almost no natural dangers and have the capability to explore various civilizations, in pursuit of the ultimate mysteries between heaven and earth.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled at Li Yuan, ¡°If you were in their shoes, having lived for over a thousand years, would you be willing to die of old age within a Dimensional Plane, or would you prefer to head towards the splendid and boundless Divine Realm?¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath again.


    Indeed! For many divines who have lived for over a thousand years, what pleasures have they not experienced?


    To seek eternal life, to obtain more powerful treasures and cultivation methods, it is unlikely anyone would choose to stay in their native civilization.


    ¡°Elder Qiu.¡±


    ¡°Then why did you come from the Divine Realm to our Dimensional Domain? As far as I know, it seems that more than one divine descended a ten thousand years ago,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Is there something in our Dimensional Domain worth competing for, a priceless treasure perhaps?¡±


    Through communicating with Qiu Bingzun.


    Li Yuan had basically confirmed that the Ancient Torch Divine likely also came from the Divine Realm.


    ¡°You seem to know a lot, and you¡¯re not wrong in your guess,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke slowly, ¡°Normally, Mortal Domains are very poor in resources and treasures, but your Dimensional Domain is an exception.¡±


    ¡°Ten thousand years ago.¡±


    ¡°I led my many divines, at great cost, with this Divine Class Mothership, to descend painfully into this Dimensional Domain¡­ I wasn¡¯t the only one, many divines from the Divine Realm descended at that time.¡±


    ¡°And many native divines of your Dimensional Domain also joined the battle.¡±


    ¡°It was a earth-shattering skirmish.¡±


    ¡°All for the treasure within the ¡®Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯.¡±

    Chapter 570: Chapter 325: Yu Jinghe¡¯s Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Request for Monthly Tickets)


    ¡°This is indeed the case,¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded. ¡°You should have something with you that can confirm whether you are alive or dead, but from the moment you entered the inner layer of the core, all external sensing was cut off.¡±


    ¡°Unless it¡¯s that kind of ¡®Soul Sensing Artifact¡¯ that can transcend different dimensional planes.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, by now, your homeland¡¯s civilization would probably think you have perished,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face changed, he had two soul sensing artifacts on him.


    One was the Spiritual Lamp, which could achieve clear sensing as long as he was in this Mortal Domain, and it was controlled by Gu You.


    The other was the Life Crystal, controlled by the Seven Star Civilization, but it could only confirm within a singular world.


    Furthermore, refining the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯ had taken him over forty days.


    In other words, more than forty days ago, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization were guessing whether he had perished?


    ¡°Venerable One, why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, worry in his heart.


    ¡°I said before, when you make a choice, there will be consequences,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°Without fully confirming your attitude, I would not allow the slightest possibility of the news leaking.¡±


    ¡°I also established this Core Palace inside the Mothership to isolate the essence of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg. Even a Seventh Rank Heavenly Divine wouldn¡¯t even dream of sensing it directly unless they broke into the palace,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    Qiu Bingzun was right; before this, there seemed to be no need for him to regard Li Yuan¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°But rest assured, I know what you are worried about.¡±


    ¡°Xue Yan, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and your clan¡¯s ¡®Yu Jinghe,¡¯ who are currently trapped inside the Mothership, I haven¡¯t let them out,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed. ¡°The external forces have also not broken out in major wars.¡±


    ¡°Your homeland civilization, the Seven Star Civilization, has not suffered any loss.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    What he was most worried about was that so many days had passed and Xue Yan, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the others had already left the Mothership ¡­ in that case, there would be too many uncontrollable factors.


    ¡°As long as you form a blood pact with the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, allowing it to hatch successfully, all these people are at your disposal,¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled. ¡°If you are unwilling to kill them, I even have a way to let you control them by soul.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control?¡± Li Yuan was stunned.


    ¡°It involves planting a prohibition at the source, in their souls, making them willingly submissive to you from the depths of their hearts,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained. ¡°Thus it is called Soul Control.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control Technique, across the Divine Realm, is exceedingly precious, and many divines cannot acquire it,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°This peculiar secret technique, in terms of its rarity, is comparable to many complete Supreme Star Techniques.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily, such methods he had only heard of but had never seen before.


    ¡°Can I cultivate this method?¡± Li Yuan furrowed his brow.


    ¡°Normally, no, even a Demigod¡¯s soul utilization is quite rudimentary,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed. ¡°But among the gifts I¡¯ve prepared for you, there¡¯s one that can help you initially cultivate it¡­ controlling a few at the Flying Heaven Level isn¡¯t hard.¡±


    Li Yuan inwardly exclaimed and also felt a bit wary.


    This Heavenly Serpent Divine, truly a supreme existence among true gods, still very fearsome even if already deceased, leaving just a residual thought behind.


    ¡°Of course, this type of Soul Technique Method also has many drawbacks,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°For one, it places a certain burden on the user¡¯s soul. The stronger the servant, the greater the impact on the master, so there¡¯s a limit to the number of servants you can control¡­ and once a servant surpasses a certain level of strength, they can break free of this soul restriction.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, it cannot be executed on those too strong. For example, if your own soul is only at the Flying Heaven Level and it¡¯s used on a Demigod¡­ you might instead suffer backlash, causing severe damage to yourself.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°Thirdly, is that the controlled beings often see a significant drop in potential,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°Some exceptional talents, after being controlled by soul, will often see their strength progress much slower, rarely reaching their original potential.¡± sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Why is that?¡± Li Yuan puzzled.


    ¡°Their hearts change,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°Why can the strong become strong? Because they have the heart of the strong, the courage and determination to surpass everything¡­ If they become servants, blindly obeying the master, can they still become strong over time?¡±


    Li Yuan had a realization, true exceptional talents and strong beings always firmly believe in themselves, even if their progress is slow for a while, they usually do not get discouraged¡­ Even if they revere a senior, they won¡¯t contemplate becoming a ¡®servant.¡¯


    ¡°If I can control their souls, that¡¯s naturally best; I don¡¯t care if their future potential lowers,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    If he could control the two Beast Emperors, then he could keep control over the Ming Xu Beast Clan.


    If he could control Xue Yan? That would be like driving a deep wedge into the Demon Civilization, potentially infiltrating the high ranks of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the future.


    ¡­


    Inside a massive secret chamber within the inner layer of the Mothership.


    A Combat Saber floated in the void, pitch-black and emitting strange fluctuations.


    Inside the chamber, Yu Jinghe, clad in a black robe, was continually staring at the Combat Saber in the void, sensing the mysterious fluctuations.


    ¡°Metal!¡±


    ¡°Incredible, this Combat Saber contains a Sword Technique that¡¯s utterly unimaginable,¡± as Yu Jinghe delved deeper, the more he marveled.


    Still, Yu Jinghe was quite troubled, ¡°According to the Alien God¡¯s messenger, I must comprehend a powerful enough Sword Technique within six months to hope to advance to the next test.¡±


    ¡°This inner layer of the Mothership contains many treasures and opportunities, a rare chance for me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve become a direct disciple of an Alien God, with the inheritance of an Alien God aiding me, there¡¯s a great hope for me to become a Semi-Divine.¡±

 Chapter 571: 325: Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

    Chapter 571: Chapter 325: Yu Jinghe¡¯s Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2


    Xue Yan became a Direct Disciple of an Alien God with relative ease.


    Yet, Yu Jinghe had only managed to barely scrape through the ¡°Sixth Layer Trial¡± of the Heavenly Serpent Divine after a breakthrough in the Star Meridian within the Divine Land and after cultivating a stronger Star Technique.


    Faced with the harsh demands of the Direct Disciple of a Metal-series Alien God, Yu Jinghe ultimately chose to agree.


    After all, he wasn¡¯t like Li Yuan, now faced with the legacy left by a Divine, it was natural to go all out.


    ¡°There is the transmission of an Alien God, but becoming a Divine is not easy either, I must seize the opportunity within the Inner Layer,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s heart was filled with desire, ¡°If I could enter the very core of the Inner Layer, perhaps ascending to godhood would be easy.¡±


    The deeper he delved, the more miraculous he found the Mothership.


    A great treasure indeed.


    Still, Yu Jinghe¡¯s heart was full of concerns, ¡°Having entered the Mothership for so long, I¡¯m unaware of the situation outside. How goes the war with the Mingxu Beast Clan?¡±


    Suddenly.


    Countless beams of light converged, consolidating in the secret chamber into a towering, horned silhouette.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked down at Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°Alien God¡¯s emissary,¡± Yu Jinghe got up and respectfully bowed.


    ¡°Your trial has ended,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°What?¡± Yu Jinghe was suddenly shocked, ¡°Senior, you gave me six months for the trial, and it hasn¡¯t even been two months. I definitely have the hope of passing this trial.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say you failed the trial, but that your trial has ended,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke indifferently, ¡°Just now, someone has already passed the trial, entered the core of the Inner Layer, and obtained the treasure left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine.¡±


    ¡°Someone has completed the trial? Who?¡± Yu Jinghe was shocked in his heart, having gone through many trials before, he was well aware of their difficulty.


    And within the Inner Layer¡¯s Sixth Trials, he had only struggled through to the Third Layer, who could have passed all six so quickly?


    Could it be one of the Three Great Beast Emperors?


    ¡°You know this person,¡± Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ from your Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡± Yu Jinghe inhaled sharply, familiar with the name.


    Before entering the Civilization Mothership, he had heard about the birth of a super genius ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ in his civilization, who had swept through the Cloud Beast Civilization in the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    Back then, his heart was exhilarated.


    But he had not expected that this person would also enter the Divine Land and so quickly overcome all obstacles to obtain the ultimate treasure.


    ¡°You should be thankful.¡±


    ¡°If it had been a bit later, ¡®Xue Yan¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Civilization might have had a chance to break into the core of the Inner Layer,¡± Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, ¡°Although he entered later than you, he has already reached the Fourth Layer Trial¡­¡±


    ¡°Xue Yan?¡± A flicker of confusion passed through Yu Jinghe¡¯s eyes, unfamiliar with the name.


    The situation over the past few months had exceeded his imagination.


    But from Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words, Yu Jinghe could also judge¡­ if not for Spirit Gun, he most likely would not have been able to compete with this ¡®Xue Yan.¡¯


    ¡°That¡¯s fine,¡± Yu Jinghe thought, ¡°The treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine, falling into Spirit Gun¡¯s hands, is a thousand, a million times better than it falling into Xue Yan¡¯s.¡±


    After all, it would belong to the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Sigh!¡±


    With a wave of his hand, Qiu Bingzun sent a Storage Treasure floating towards Yu Jinghe. The Combat Saber, which had been hovering in the chamber, with its mysterious fluctuations, began to subside and gently fell: ¡°As per Spirit Gun¡¯s wishes, these treasures are gifted to you, as a reward for passing the Fifth Layer Trial.¡±


    ¡°This?¡± Yu Jinghe was startled. He himself possessed Flying Heaven Level spiritual power and, with a mere thought, he could tell the Storage Magical Treasure contained astonishingly valuable treasures.


    ¡°Thank you, senior,¡± Yu Jinghe said respectfully.


    ¡°To give thanks, thank Spirit Gun,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at him, ¡°Had he not spoken, you would have had no right to these treasures¡­ The treasure left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine is only one level higher than the gift you have received.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yu Jinghe¡¯s heart was already filled with goodwill towards this ¡®Spirit Gun,¡¯ whom he had never met.


    ¡°Before sending you away.¡±


    ¡°You have no demands for this gift, but don¡¯t forget your promise to the ¡®Metal-series Alien God,''¡± Qiu Bingzun confirmed, ¡°You have set a Law oath, and no one can help you with that.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded, the inheritance left by the Alien God¡¯s Direct Disciple was very demanding, but it also asked him to become a Divine before taking action, so there was no rush.


    ¡°Additionally.¡±


    ¡°You must set a Law oath, not to reveal the secrets about the Inner Layer,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°This is not Spirit Gun¡¯s request, but a demand of the Heavenly Serpent Divine.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before long.


    Yu Jinghe, having established another Law oath, was directly sent out of the Civilization Mothership by Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°This Li Yuan is indeed a man of great loyalty,¡± Qiu Bingzun murmured, as his avatar dissipated.


    ¡­


    In the core of the Mothership, within the vast expanse of the Heavenly Snake Temple.


    ¡°I have already sent Yu Jinghe away.¡±


    ¡°And told him you are still alive, so you don¡¯t have to worry anymore,¡± the towering, horned silhouette suddenly said, ¡°Additionally, I have given him an extra little gift, it should be helpful to him.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Venerable One,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Li Yuan had wanted to contact Bright Moon Base directly, but Qiu Bingzun was unwilling, agreeing only to let Yu Jinghe pass on the message.


    ¡°Rest assured, I am not deceiving you,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to start hatching the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded, with everything at this stage, there were no other choices left.


    ¡­


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The entire temple suddenly began to shake, as the once towering Divine Pillars burst into light, countless glows converging towards the center of the great hall.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°It¡¯s finally starting,¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes showed a complex expression, ¡°Who knows if this is the last Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg of our clan.¡±

 Chapter 572: 325: Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_3

    Chapter 572: Chapter 325: Yu Jinghe¡¯s Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_3


    ¡°When the Heavenly Serpent Clan was attacked by a powerful enemy years ago, they began a great escape, and he led just one of the fleeing groups.¡±


    ¡°As for whether the other fleeing groups are still alive, whether there are still any Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Eggs? Qiu Bingzun doesn¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°They didn¡¯t know or contact each other, each escaping on their own, to ensure the maximum continuation of their clan.¡±


    ¡°Boom~¡± Suddenly, the ground of the temple split open, revealing a huge Divine Pool filled with purple liquid that ebbed and flowed, emitting a hazy radiance, resembling divine brilliance.


    ¡°What a rich life essence.¡± Li Yuan held his breath; he could feel that these purple liquids were probably exceedingly precious.


    Then, Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell upon a green serpent egg within the vast Divine Pool.


    So big!


    From just sizing it up, Li Yuan confirmed that the diameter of this serpent egg must exceed ten meters. It was completely immersed in the purple liquid, its surface flickering with layers of flowing light, emitting a powerful aura.


    ¡°Thousands of years have passed, and the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg has maintained its vitality all thanks to these special Spiritual Liquids,¡± Qiu Bingzun whispered, ¡°from the birth to the hatching of a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, it can be preserved for up to thirty thousand years¡­ and now, it¡¯s nearly twenty thousand years.¡±


    ¡°These Spiritual Liquids not only ensure its vitality but also seal its life essence.¡±


    ¡°Twenty thousand years?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    Truly exaggerated, fitting for a great clan of the Divine Realm, their methods are many!


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Whoosh~ Qiu Bingzun suddenly raised his hand, his fingertip traced a streak of light, which instantly shot into Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Immediately, a massive amount of information emerged, all about the various methods to hatch the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current spiritual power, he quickly understood it all.


    ¡°The rest is up to you now,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the Divine Pool, and directly plunged into it.


    Splash~


    Li Yuan was completely soaked in the purple Spiritual Liquid.


    ¡°I must succeed.¡±


    Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Once successful, I will receive many treasures left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine, as well as a Spirit Beast that is destined to grow to the True God Peak.¡±


    Such a powerful Spirit Beast, easily attracting disasters, not to mention the Heavenly Serpent Clan still has formidable enemies.


    But if used well, it is also a great asset.


    Following the methods in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s information, a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, in as short as a hundred years, and at most a thousand years, would grow all the way to the True God Peak, then shine radiantly for thirty thousand years.


    Many formidable True Gods, reaching the True God Peak is close to the end of their lifespan, making it naturally difficult to Ascend to Heavenly God.


    But for a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, it has thirty thousand years to strive and pursue¡­ the hope of becoming a Heavenly God is naturally immense.


    ¡°Refinement.¡± Li Yuan followed the information, his Divine Sense quickly penetrated the entire Divine Pool.


    Gradually sensing the many Secret Runes in the Divine Pool, all were fluctuations of the mystery of the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Without the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, I¡¯m afraid it wouldn¡¯t be this easy,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Li Yuan had understood why Qiu Bingzun had asked him to first try using the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind,¡¯ to transform his body¡¯s bloodline to be closer to the Wind Law and also to better fit the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Bloodline, making the hatching of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent easier.


    A while later.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Li Yuan had initially refined the Divine Pool and through the Divine Pool sensed every bit of Spiritual Liquid.


    This was the first step.


    ¡°Second step, merge with the life essence.¡± Li Yuan thought, and immediately as if his body was boiling, large amounts of blood seeped from many pores, directly permeating into the Spiritual Liquid.


    They began to merge.


    As time passed, a large amount of blood seeped into the Divine Pool, and at the same time, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power also crazily transformed into blood¡­ gradually, the entire Divine Pool started to show hints of blood color.


    ¡­


    Following the information, Li Yuan spent a long time, and when his body felt waves of weakness¡­ he finally, using the Divine Pool, merged his own blood with the Spiritual Liquid into one.


    ¡°Third step, release the suppression, merge into the serpent egg.¡± Li Yuan thought, and the Magical Treasure-like Divine Pool completely released its suppression on that giant Heaven Snake Egg.


    Immediately.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The once silent Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg immediately burst into dazzling brilliance, followed by what seemed like a giant vortex forming.


    Madly absorbing the Spiritual Liquid in the Divine Pool, which was mixed with a large amount of Li Yuan¡¯s blood.


    Absorbing the external energy, the aura of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg rapidly exploded; it had begun its nurturing birth.


    ¡°Merge the Soul Force.¡± Li Yuan thought, his Divine Sense Power already permeated the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg.


    ¡°Sssss~¡±


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, at this moment, seemed like a giant Taotie, even devouring Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense Power without hesitation.


    Pain! sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Damage to the Divine Sense felt like the soul tearing, waves of pain sweeping through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°By feeding the snake with the body, nurturing with the soul, only then can we make our bloodlines fit each other,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, striving to hold on.


    Li Yuan also finally understood why Qiu Bingzun had previously said to ¡®hold on.¡¯


    The entire process would last three months, indeed very painful.


    Fortunately.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg only devoured bits of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense Power, causing pain but, in a short time, not causing fatal damage.


    ¡­


    ¡°Back then, the elders said,¡±


    ¡°Only by our clan rebirthing a Heavenly Divine can we rebuild and stand tall in the Divine Realm once more,¡± Qiu Bingzun silently watched everything in the Divine Pool, ¡°who knows if it can succeed in the future.¡±


    ¡°My lord,¡±


    A black snake phantom couldn¡¯t help but transmit its voice, ¡°Do you really plan to let the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent become the ¡®Spirit Beast¡¯ of the Spirit Gun? According to your original intention, if Xue Yan comes, wasn¡¯t the plan to make Xue Yan the ¡®Servant¡¯ of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent?¡±

 Chapter 573: 325: Yu Jinghes Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_4

    Chapter 573: Chapter 325: Yu Jinghe¡¯s Opportunity! Chaos Divine Court (Requesting Monthly Votes)_4


    ¡°Um,¡± Qiu Bingzun glanced at the black phantom, ¡°Xue Yan? His potential is too poor, the hope for him to become a True God is very slim¡­ He is of little help to the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, so he is just a ¡®substitute¡¯ in my plan.¡±


    ¡°But the Spirit Gun is different,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at the figure in black garment in the Divine Pool, ¡°his potential is extremely high.¡±


    ¡°He is likely to be admitted under the Heavenly Divine Gate in the future, or even become a Heavenly Divine himself.¡±


    ¡°This is a Heavenly Divine of the Human Race!¡±


    ¡°The Human Race is the leading clan in the Divine Realm,¡± Qiu Bingzun said softly, ¡°I never expected to rely on the Spirit Gun to fend off the great enemy of my Heavenly Serpent Clan, but in the future, he might join some superpower forces in the Divine Realm, such as¡ªChaos Divine Court.¡±


    ¡°Chaos Divine Court?¡± the black snake phantom was shocked.


    That was indeed one of the top forces in the Divine Realm.


    ¡°I genuinely help him; the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent will regard him as a brother, as a father.¡±


    ¡°Due to the bloodline contract, he will also feel extremely close to the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent¡­ so that he will naturally help the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent in the future,¡± Qiu Bingzun slowly explained.


    ¡°He is from the Human Race, highly talented, and also from the Mortal Domain, born so pure¡­ his chances of joining a superpower force in the Divine Realm are substantial.¡±


    ¡°With that,¡± continued Qiu Bingzun, ¡°the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, being his Spirit Beast, would naturally also have a chance to become the core of a superpower, greatly increasing its chances of ascending to Heavenly God.¡±


    The black snake phantom understood.


    If it was the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent alone, joining a superpower would be easy, but becoming the core of a superpower? As difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    It would be hard to gain trust.


    ¡°If it gets to that point.¡±


    ¡°If the two of them, both Heavenly Divine, join forces and are part of a superpower, even if it meant rebuilding the Heavenly Serpent Clan, even our enemies would not dare to act rashly again,¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke gravely, ¡°otherwise, even if they both become Heavenly Divine, they would still struggle to fend off a great enemy.¡±


    ¡°Wise words, Venerable One,¡± the black snake phantom said.


    ¡­


    As time passed, while Li Yuan was fully engaged in hatching the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent in the core of the Mothership.


    Back in the Ming Xu Star Realm, Yu Jinghe had safely returned to the Bright Moon Base.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun, alone, killed over a hundred Flying Heaven Beast Kings? Has the power of Flying Heaven Peak?¡± Yu Jinghe was flabbergasted, finally learning about the events of the recent months.


    At the same time.


    The news he brought also caused Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan to be shocked and excited.


    ¡°Spirit Gun is still alive?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s still alive! Good!¡±

    ¡°Li Yuan is still alive?¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe has returned alive?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, San Ye Semi-Divine also quickly received the news and were extremely excited.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai immediately headed to Jiangnan Province to meet Yu Jinghe, who had come from the Ming Xu Star Realm, wanting to know what exactly happened.


    ¡°Three Great Beast Emperors, only two left?¡±


    ¡°Ming Mountain, it¡¯s a God Level Warship, and inside the warship are the inheritances of six Divine Beings?¡±


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, are they all still within the warship?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai listened to Yu Jinghe¡¯s detailed narration.


    The six Divine Being Inheritances alone astonished them.


    Qiu Bingzun only told Yu Jinghe not to reveal inner layer secrets, but regarding the outer layer? He did not make any demands.


    ¡°Two seniors.¡±


    ¡°Regarding many things about the warship, I can¡¯t speak¡­ I can only tell you, seniors, that Spirit Gun has obtained greater benefits than I, and he is safe,¡± Yu Jinghe said, ¡°However, I do not know when he will be able to come out.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Fang Hai exchanged glances, unable to speak?


    ¡°Is it a law oath?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked quietly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yu Jinghe nodded.


    ¡­Yu Jinghe¡¯s return temporarily alleviated the high echelons of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s concerns about Li Yuan, filling them with anticipation.


    Day by day, the situation in Ming Xu Star Realm remained stable, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

 Chapter 574: 326: Born! Liu Bing (Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

    Chapter 574: Chapter 326: Born! Liu Bing (Requesting Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)


    Tianliang Civilization, aboard the warship suspended over the ocean, inside the conference room.


    ¡°Nearly five months since he went in.¡±


    ¡°Such a long time and still no news?¡± Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s brows were deeply furrowed.


    Considering his status within the Myriad Demons Civilization, he was more esteemed than most ¡®Kings¡¯ of divine nations, how precious was his time?


    Originally sent by the Eastern Demon Deity, the purpose was to intimidate the Tianliang Civilization, to prevent the situation where the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s genius obtains treasures and then gets preyed upon by the Tianliang Civilization.


    Unexpectedly, this delay had now lasted almost half a year.


    ¡°Ye An Semi Divine,¡± Jin Liang entered the conference room, where there were few people present today, and spoke in a deep voice, ¡°I just received a message, Yu Jinghe has returned.¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe from the Seven Stars Civilization? Wasn¡¯t he trapped in the Divine Land?¡± Ye An Semi Divine was visibly surprised.


    ¡°I just found out as well,¡± said Jin Liang Semi Divine solemnly, ¡°According to reliable information¡­ he has been back for at least a month.¡±


    ¡°That long? Why wasn¡¯t it revealed?¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke in a low voice.


    ¡°Upon his return, he continued to conceal his movements, we had no knowledge of it,¡± Jin Liang Semi Divine shook his head and sighed, ¡°This time it was purely coincidental that we found out.¡±


    ¡°Still, what he experienced in the Divine Land and what he obtained remains a total mystery,¡± said Jin Liang Semi Divine.


    ¡°A coincidence?¡± Ye An Semi Divine did not press further.


    The Tianliang Civilization was a vassal of the Myriad Demons Civilization, but he was not a vassal himself, so naturally, he would not divulge the secrets of his own civilization¡¯s intelligence network.


    ¡°Alright, I understand.¡±


    ¡°I will report to the Divine Being and find a way to clarify this,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said softly.


    In terms of intelligence networks, the Myriad Demons Civilization was naturally stronger¡­ now knowing the specific target, the tracking would be much easier.


    ¡­


    Not long after.


    Feixing, a mysterious place of long-term quiet cultivation by Dongfang Ji, within a void.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    A deep voice sounded, ¡°I just received news, the Tianliang Civilization has identified the leak of Yu Jinghe¡¯s whereabouts, it seems to have been leaked recently.¡±


    ¡°Leaked recently?¡± Dongfang Ji opened his eyes and frowned, ¡°Did you investigate Yu Jinghe¡¯s recent actions?¡±


    ¡°I did.¡±


    ¡°Yu Jinghe, following orders, had been in seclusion all this time without showing himself, only recently did he contact his family,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°I have already tracked down six targets based on clues, and am further pursuing them.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, clarify it first, but don¡¯t act rashly for now, find another reason later and then expose it,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s another matter I wish to report,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°Recently, the forces that secretly tried to break into the Blue Star virtual network mainframe have been traced¡­ the source seems to be in Xia Country¡¯s Jiangnan Province.¡±


    ¡°Jiangnan Province?¡± Dongfang Ji was taken aback, being from Xia Country, he was naturally familiar.


    ¡°The target location is uncertain,¡± the deep voice continued, ¡°However, the temporarily locked region coincides significantly with the area where Li Yuan last secluded himself to cultivate the Supreme Star Technique.¡±


    A flicker of light passed through Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    Last September.


    Li Yuan obtained a treasure worth 500,000 Seven Stars Points, practiced Star Technique in the Ancient Divine Palace, secluded for more than ten days¡­ effectively disappearing from the Seven Stars Civilization¡¯s supervision.


    Although high-level officials of the Seven Stars Civilization never inquired, the surveillance system still performed ¡®regional standards¡¯.


    ¡°State your speculation,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly.


    ¡°From previous signs, it appears that the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ of the Fierce Feather Star Realm likely contains a powerful Earth System Divine Being heritage, at least a Fifth Rank Pseudo-God Peak, perhaps even a True God Heritage,¡± said the deep voice.


    Dongfang Ji listened, ¡°Continue.¡±


    ¡°In this heritage he acquired, there likely exists a formidable power,¡± the deep voice continued, ¡°Now it¡¯s uncertain whether this power is under Li Yuan¡¯s control.¡±


    ¡°I speculate that hidden there is either a Cave Heaven Treasure or a God Level Warship,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°If you, Master, wish to know the truth, I can order the guardian legion to activate the Planet Origin Force Array¡­ to conduct a thorough search, which will definitely reveal it.¡±


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°First, continue surveillance,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly, ¡°Didn¡¯t Yu Jinghe say that Li Yuan survived and even gained great benefits?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Li Yuan to return.¡±


    ¡°Then question him and probe,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°Everyone has secrets. He has exceptional talent, and his opportunities far surpass Fang Hai¡¯s¡­ If used well, perhaps a remarkable being will emerge in our Seven Stars Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But if not well-controlled¡­ I don¡¯t want to bring harm to the Seven Stars Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°You speak of thorough investigation, but what if there are God Level powers among this hidden force? Could the guardian legion withstand it?¡±


    ¡°My journey by warship to there will also take several days.¡±


    The area of void became quiet.


    After a while, the deep voice finally said, ¡°Master, I was wrong, my consideration was insufficient.¡±


    ¡°I understand your concerns, wanting to control the situation, eliminate all uncontrollable factors,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly, ¡°But the more talented, the less controllable.¡±


    ¡°Those you can easily monitor, like Duanmu Hong, like San Ye, do you expect them to ascend to god? Can you confidently entrust the Seven Stars Civilization to them?¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°And like Fang Hai, can you monitor him?¡±


    Silence fell on the source of that voice.


    ¡°Go then, keep a close watch on Li Yuan¡¯s movements,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed, ¡°Also keep an eye on the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ you used the ¡®Mothership Mainframe¡¯ to deduce that the time of appearance should be within the next year or two, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I will keep watch, and once there is any situation, I will notify Fang Hai at once, and have him go there.¡±


    ¡­


    Ming Xu Star Realm, at the core of the mothership.


    Inside the Temple.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost ready.¡± The lone, robust Phantom loomed over the nearly dried-up Divine Pool, observing Li Yuan, whose spiritual essence had grown significantly weak.


    Clearly, the drain of the last three months had greatly affected both Li Yuan¡¯s body and soul.


    In stark contrast to Li Yuan¡¯s feeble aura was the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent Egg, over ten meters in diameter, releasing an aura much stronger than before.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun waved his hand.


    An array of bizarre, fluctuating blood-red Secret Runes appeared above Li Yuan and the giant egg, congregating into a vast, unique pattern.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡± Qiu Bingzun spoke in a low voice, ¡°Bloodline compatibility, get ready.¡±


    Li Yuan opened his eyes and looked up at the vast blood-red pattern, which emitted an ancient, profound aura.


    Li Yuan could sense a ripple of intent emanating from it¡ª a Covenant!


    This was a contract.


    Summoned by the Great Dao!


    Boom~ The massive blood-red pattern slowly descended, with one end landing on Li Yuan and the other on the giant egg, followed by countless blood-red Phantoms flying out and merging into both.


    ¡°Merge.¡± Li Yuan did not resist as these strange forces flowed into his body.


    They subtly merged with both his body and soul.


    As time passed, the massive blood-red pattern gradually faded, and Li Yuan faintly sensed life fluctuations coming from the egg¡­ an invisible connection had been established between them.


    A natural closeness.


    ¡°Master¡­ master?¡± A slightly immature voice resonated in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The powerful, vibrant green giant egg suddenly cracked open, revealing a huge body harbored within¡ª a large Green Snake, coiled inside.


    At first glance, it seemed indistinguishable from ordinary Flying Serpents.


    However, upon closer inspection, its scales were crystal clear, its wings and claws as if masterfully crafted¡­ all radiating a vigorous life essence.


    The more one observed, the more extraordinary the Flying Serpent appeared.


    Beautiful!


    It was the most beautiful Flying Serpent Li Yuan had ever seen; even the Flying Heaven Level Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperors couldn¡¯t match the aura of this green snake.


    ¡°[Target life, Life Level 29.9]¡± Li Yuan promptly conducted a Divine Palace Exploration, feeling inwardly surprised.


    Born at the Second Rank Limit of life?


    Whoosh!


    The Green Snake¡¯s spiritual eyes shifted, and it swiftly came to face Li Yuan.


    It wrapped its massive wings around Li Yuan, seemingly embracing him, yet its head was lowered as if lying in front of him.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    The Green Snake looked at Li Yuan, its youthful voice echoing in Li Yuan¡¯s mind again: ¡°I have finally met you. Before, I could only sense your presence.¡±


    This was a soul communication.


    ¡°A female?¡± Li Yuan sensed something was off.


    But at the same time, when the Green Snake drew near, Li Yuan felt an unprecedented closeness, as if facing his own child.


    This was due to the blood covenant.


    And more so because Li Yuan had nurtured it with his own blood and Divine Consciousness Power.

    Qiu Bingzun landed slowly, smiling at the scene: ¡°Congratulations, it was successful.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Bing, I finally witnessed the day you were born.¡± Qiu Bingzun, too, was quite moved as he watched the Green Snake, sighing, ¡°It¡¯s just unfortunate that I shall never see this myself.¡±


    ¡°I will not forget Elder Qiu¡¯s deeds,¡± said the Green Snake softly, her voice clear and melodious, yet tinged with sadness.


    Li Yuan watched the scene, stunned.


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be surprised.¡±


    ¡°How powerful is the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent? Even before they are born, they have a faint consciousness, capable of sensing the outside world,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained with a smile. ¡°Over the past twenty thousand years, Xiao Bing has been aware of many events outside. I often tried to communicate with her¡­ of course, her consciousness was very vague until she was born and truly developed spiritual wisdom.¡±


    ¡°But the many past experiences will also be vague memories.¡±


    ¡°You should not treat her as a child.¡±


    ¡°She possesses many inherited memories. Her horizon and insight in many respects might far surpass yours,¡± declared Qiu Bingzun.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, his heart filled with wonder.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, undoubtedly one of the strongest Divine Beasts in the Divine Realm, truly incredible.


    ¡°You are called Xiao Bing?¡± Li Yuan looked at the Green Snake.


    ¡°Master, my real name is Liu Bing, a name I chose for myself.¡±


    ¡°Liu is the most prestigious surname within our Heaven Snake lineage.¡±


    ¡°Bing is to honor ¡®Elder Qiu¡¯; without him, there would be no me.¡± The Green Snake¡¯s spiritual eyes looked at Li Yuan earnestly. ¡°Given time, if I grow to the Peak of True God, then as per the customs of my Heaven Snake lineage, I may add the title ¡®Zun¡¯ to my name.¡±


    ¡°Liu Bingzun?¡± Li Yuan murmured softly.


    He immediately realized that Qiu Bingzun¡¯s real name must have been ¡°Qiu Bing.¡±

    With Li Yuan¡¯s current Second Level authority within the mothership, only subordinate to Qiu Bingzun and the training officers, he could easily confirm the location of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and his group using Inquiry methods.


    Furthermore, with the mobilization of ¡°Mothership Energy,¡± killing the most powerful Myriad Scales Beast Emperor would be a breeze.


    ¡°Sweeping through the Mingxu Beast Clan would also be easy.¡±


    ¡°However, I can¡¯t possibly stay in the Mingxu Star Realm forever, once I advance to Flying Heaven Level and Liu Bing also breaks through to Third Rank, we won¡¯t be able to return to Mingxu Star Realm, and thus we won¡¯t be able to utilize the power of the mothership,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°By then, if we want to defend Mingxu Star Realm, we can still only rely on the Seven Star Civilization itself.¡±


    The venerable ones would be willing to help him, help Liu Bing.


    But they may not necessarily be willing to concern themselves with the other powerhouses of the Seven Star Civilization who will be stationed in the Star Realm in the future.


    Therefore, he had to strive for a permanent solution to the problem.


    ¡°Enslavement!¡±


    ¡°Enslave the Beast Emperor, making them lead a large group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings to fend off the future invasions of the Tianliang Civilization,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. ¡°With the strength of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, along with some of my assistance, there is hope for him to break through to Semi-Divine in the future.¡±


    Once they became servants, it wouldn¡¯t matter if Li Yuan couldn¡¯t return; they would loyally carry out the orders Li Yuan left behind.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, swiftly leaving the empty area¡­ With the Heavenly Snake Hall taken up, the space became hollow, but it also revealed many passageways.


    Following one of the passageways, Li Yuan directly entered one of the Quiet Cultivation Rooms.


    The Quiet Chamber was as bright as daylight and contained many Jade Platforms.


    Exhaling, Li Yuan casually chose a Jade Platform to sit on and with a thought, he activated his authority and closed the cabin.


    ¡°Condense!¡± Li Yuan pointed to the void, and instantly two light screens appeared, each displaying a figure.


    One was the massive figure of the ¡®Myriad Scales Beast Emperor,¡¯ resembling the legendary Fire Kirin.


    The other was ¡®Xue Yan,¡¯ dressed in a black robe, seriously holding a Combat Saber, deeply engrossed in cultivation.


    ¡°These two guys are still foolishly cultivating? Trying to pass the Fifth Layer challenges to reach the Inner Core?¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly. ¡°Even for Xue Yan, it would probably take several years to get through the Fifth Layer challenges.¡±


    The challenges left behind by Qiu Bingzun were not so easily overcome.


    Snap~


    He closed the two light screens.


    ¡°First, I¡¯ll use the treasure gifted by Qiu Bingzun to try to gain entry to the ¡®Soul Nine Refinements¡¯ Method,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, taking out an Inheritance Crystal Stone from his palm.


    Among the nearly a hundred Inheritance Crystal Stones gifted by Qiu Bingzun, aside from the various cultivation knowledge and Star Techniques, many were various secret techniques¡­ Although these secret techniques did not directly enhance combat power like Star Techniques, many secret techniques were valued even higher than Supreme Star Techniques.


    For example ¡ª ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    ¡°Hum~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness penetrated it, and a flood of information surged into his mind, all concerning the cultivation methods of ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    Incredibly profound, making Li Yuan marvel.


    After a long time, even with Li Yuan¡¯s strong spiritual power, he barely managed to memorize ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± completely.


    But that was just memorization; cultivating it was still as difficult as ascending to heaven. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The creator of this Method was truly formidable, probably one of the powerful Heavenly Divine,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°No wonder Qiu Bingzun placed such importance on this Method.¡±


    ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± consists of four parts: Semi-Divine Chapter, Pseudo-God Chapter, True God Chapter, Heavenly God Chapter¡­ Normally, only a Semi-Divine Peak Expert would have a chance to gain entry.


    Because, usually only Semi-Divine Peak Experts would have sufficiently high research on the soul¡­ Like a Flying Heaven Level life, most only crudely utilize Divine Sense. To cultivate this kind of Soul Secret Technique? If not careful, it could even lead to a collapse of their own spirit.


    Once ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± was perfected, it would allow control of up to nine strong beings of the same rank with minimal impact on oneself!!


    For instance, cultivating the ¡®Pseudo-God Chapter¡¯ would enable one to control and enslave nine Pseudo-Gods.


    At the same time, it wouldn¡¯t put an additional burden on one¡¯s own soul, which is very important.


    After all, the soul is the foundation of life, and enslaving other powerhouses is aimed at strengthening one¡¯s own forces, but if it affects the soul and cultivation, the gains do not outweigh the losses.


    Of course, like cultivating into the ¡®Pseudo-God Chapter¡¯ and then controlling Semi-Divine beings would have an even smaller impact, controlling dozens of them wouldn¡¯t stack up to the impact of controlling a single Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Fifth Rank treasure, Divine Soul Liquid,¡± Li Yuan flipped his palm again, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.


    Gently opening it, Li Yuan felt as if his spiritual power was leaping with joy.


    Like a starving person encountering a substantial nourishment.


    A normal Flying Heaven Level soul can¡¯t cultivate the ¡°Soul Nine Refinements,¡± so what to do? Use external aids!!


    The first treasure gifted to Li Yuan by Qiu Bingzun was two things¡ªa unit of Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid and 50 Fangshen Crystals of the Five Elements Divine Crystal.


    ¡°50 Fangshen Five Elements Divine Crystals are worth 5 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Plus the 10 Fangshen Five Elements Divine Crystals gifted by the Wind System Alien God, I¡¯ve now acquired a total of 60 Fangshen Divine Crystals.¡±


    Divine Crystals, even within the Divine Realm, were a hard currency; Divine beings conducted transactions using Divine Crystals.


    A Semi Divine Artifact would typically cost between 0.1 and 1 Fangshen.


    And a Fifth Layer Divine Artifact, depending on its use, typically costs between 10 and 500 Fangshen.


    In short, the Divine Crystals that Li Yuan had acquired could be exchanged for a decent Divine Artifact.


    However!!


    In terms of value alone, these 60 Fangshen Divine Crystals did not compare to this one unit of Pseudo-God Divine Soul Liquid.


    ¡°According to some introductions in common knowledge, the so-called Divine Soul Liquid is refined by some Soul Masters in the Divine Realm after hunting down divine powerhouses, extracting the essence of their souls,¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed. ¡°It can nourish the cultivator¡¯s soul, aiding in its growth.¡±


    ¡°The most crucial point is, once used, it allows some weaker beings¡¯ souls to temporarily possess the characteristics of this level of Divine Soul Liquid¡­ enabling them to cultivate many Soul Secret Techniques that are normally difficult to practice.¡±


    ¡°Or in combat, by using Divine Soul Liquid, one can also temporarily boost the power of the soul, greatly increasing the power of Soul Secret Techniques in action¡­ In short, its uses are manifold,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Having received the legacy bestowed by Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan¡¯s perspective and knowledge had become far beyond what they once were.


    In the vast Divine Realm, full of mystery and splendor, there were innumerable exotic treasures.


    But Li Yuan could also glimpse the dangers contained within the Divine Realm.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Soul Liquid,¡± Li Yuan stared at the jade bottle, behind which lay the fall of a Fifth Rank Deity.


    The ¡®soul¡¯ of a Fifth Rank Deity could produce many portions of ¡®Pseudo-God Soul Liquid¡¯¡­ its value was also extraordinarily astonishing.


    ¡°Whew!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan fully opened his soul and began to absorb the strange power of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid in the bottle with all his might.


    The Divine Soul Liquid was not a real liquid, but a formless power¡­ only by reaching the Flying Heaven Level could one sense and absorb it with Divine Sense.


    ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s Pseudo-God Soul Liquid,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If it were True God Soul Liquid, even with my spiritual power, I couldn¡¯t withstand it at all. Even absorbing a trace could result in my soul shattering.¡±


    The True God Soul Liquid was worth more than a thousand times that of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid, and its efficacy was heaven-defying.


    Time passed by.


    Hiss hiss~ Li Yuan continued to absorb the power of the ¡®Pseudo-God Soul Liquid.¡¯


    ¡°[Your spiritual power has broken through from level 37.3 to 37.4]¡± A prompt from the Divine Palace flashed by.


    The Pseudo-God Soul Liquid could nurture the soul.


    But the key was that Li Yuan felt his spirit become empty and ethereal. At this moment, he seemed to control every ounce of his soul¡¯s power with meticulous subtlety, surpassing the past by tens or hundreds of times.


    ¡°Is this what it feels like for a Pseudo-God powerhouse to control their soul?¡± Li Yuan marveled.


    With the help of such a supreme treasure, one could catch a glimpse of the power of a Deity.


    ¡°Cherish the time.¡±


    ¡°The first step, soul splitting.¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t dare waste the power of the Pseudo-God Soul Liquid and immediately began cultivating ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    Qiu Bingzun had left him this legacy.


    Once wasted, before heading to the Divine Realm, it would be nearly impossible to get such precious items again.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan began cultivating ¡°Soul Nine Refinements,¡± in another control cabin of the Civilization Mothership.


    The layout here was quite similar to that of the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°My lord.¡±


    The Phantom of the Black Snake couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Are you truly planning to enter the Heavenly Snake Hall and guide the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent all the way there? But that way, you will be leaving the source of the mothership and probably won¡¯t survive for long.¡±


    Even the spiritual imprints left by a True God are not immortal; they require constant external support.


    ¡°The power of the Heavenly Snake Hall can also support me,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a faint smile. ¡°Besides.¡±


    ¡°I have already fallen. I am not truly alive. What point is there in continuing to barely exist on the mothership?¡±


    The Phantom of the Black Snake fell silent.


    ¡°Liu Bing has pinned her hopes on me.¡±


    ¡°Transferring to the Heavenly Snake Hall, I might be able to survive for a few hundred years, but it can spare her from taking many detours,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a hint of resolve in his eyes. ¡°It may also increase her chances of ascending to Heavenly God status by a considerable margin.¡±


    ¡°These years have been hard on you.¡±


    ¡°From now on, you shall have complete control over the mothership,¡± Qiu Bingzun said to the Phantom of the Black Snake.


    ¡°Yes, my lord,¡± responded the Phantom of the Black Snake, sensing Qiu Bingzun¡¯s resolve and no longer trying to persuade him.


    Whoosh~


    The towering figure with a single horn dissipated with a smile, followed by the Phantom of the Black Snake feeling a powerful spiritual imprint in the essence of the mothership fading away rapidly.


    ¡°The lord¡¯s obsession is to train Liu Bing to ascend to Heavenly God and rebuild our Heavenly Serpent Clan, even if it means erasing his last trace from the world, he faces it calmly,¡± the Phantom of the Black Snake thought sadly. ¡°What about me?¡±


    ¡°What is the value of my existence? To guard this mothership forever?¡±


    ¡­


    In the Quiet Chamber where Li Yuan was cultivating, he didn¡¯t notice at all¡­ Hiss~ A strange power had silently permeated the ¡®Heavenly Snake Hall¡¯ hidden within his battle suit.


    ¡­


    The Heavenly Snake Hall, vast and boundless, was in no way inferior to the Ancient Divine Palace, and perhaps even more advanced.


    Whoosh~


    The towering figure with a single horn materialized. Not far away, a slender Green Snake rested coiled up.


    ¡°Senior Qiu,¡± Liu Bing was quite excited. ¡°You¡¯ve come.¡±


    Because of bloodline and pacts, she liked Li Yuan from the bottom of her heart and was willing to listen to him.


    But her bond with Qiu Bingzun was built on profound emotions accumulated over long years.


    ¡°Ha-ha.¡±


    ¡°Little Bing, I¡¯ve come to the Heavenly Snake Hall not to continue chatting and talking idly with you as in the past, but to supervise your cultivation,¡± Qiu Bingzun said earnestly.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Liu Bing nodded repeatedly.


    ¡°You have extraordinary talent, destined to reach the peak of a True God, but you must realize one thing: bloodline is an advantage, but it is also a restraint,¡± Qiu Bingzun said seriously.

 Chapter 577: 329: Level 38.8! Submit or Die (Additional Chapter 2)

    Chapter 577: Chapter 329: Level 38.8! Submit or Die (Additional Chapter 2)


    ¡°Bloodline, is it a chain?¡± a hint of confusion flashed in Green Snake¡¯s eyes.


    She had inherited memories and information left by Qiu Bingzun, coupled with her past twenty thousand years of vague memories¡­ but after all, she had just been born, many pieces of knowledge had not yet fully transformed into cognition.


    ¡°You look at your elder brother,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°He is a rare talent among the billions of Human Race beings. He reached Second Rank Limit by the age of twenty with ease¡­ but he certainly also experienced many difficulties.¡±


    ¡°For example, for your birth, he endured three months of Divine Sense tearing pain. If it were you, could you endure it?¡±


    Green Snake couldn¡¯t help shaking her head.


    She knew of Li Yuan¡¯s sacrifices and was even more aware of the tormenting pain¡­ She asked herself and doubted she could persevere.


    ¡°The soul can grow easily; some treasures can make it grow quickly.¡±


    ¡°But the growth of the heart and mind can only rely on time, relying on events to polish it one by one,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. ¡°Your soul has also reached Flying Heaven Peak¡­ but your willpower is only at Second Rank Limit.¡±


    ¡°Your elder brother? His willpower is probably almost near the Semi-Divine level,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with emotion. ¡°This is incredible.¡±


    Green Snake listened attentively.


    ¡°Think about it, he is only 20 years old now and has grown from weak to strong.¡±


    ¡°If a Human Race powerhouse, without the enhancement of a bloodline, goes through ten thousand years of trials and tribulations and cultivates to the True God Peak, how strong is his mental and willpower?¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°If you just rely on your bloodline and idly become True God Peak, can you compare with those powerhouses?¡±


    ¡°No comparison,¡± Green Snake shook her head.


    ¡°Those born in lowly circumstances who can grow up are one in a million,¡± Qiu Bingzun reflected. ¡°But those who manage to grow up are often the most terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Like those at the pinnacle within the Divine Realm, many have grown step by step from the Unranked.¡±


    ¡°And like you, Little Ice, if you just drift along without effort, your cultivation will become weaker as you proceed,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. ¡°Because your strength has come too easily, too effortlessly.¡±


    ¡°So, once the power of your bloodline is exhausted and you need to rely completely on yourself¡­ it will be difficult,¡± Qiu Bingzun said gravely.


    Green Snake nodded, ¡°Elder Qiu, what should I do?¡±


    ¡°Strive!¡±


    ¡°Bloodline gives you a starting point that surpasses countless lives, so you should strive even harder,¡± Qiu Bingzun said earnestly. ¡°You were born with Seven Star Veins; hence, you should strive to attack Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven phase.¡±


    ¡°Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.¡±


    ¡°I have prepared many training grounds for you, some of which are even life-threatening¡­ If you can persevere, I believe you will surpass most of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpents,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°It is just unknown whether you can achieve it.¡±


    ¡°I can!¡±


    ¡°And I want to rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan with my elder brother,¡± Green Snake said softly, her spirited eyes shining. ¡°I also seek revenge¡­¡± to avenge the deceased clansmen.¡±


    The more than twenty thousand years of vague memories made Green Snake roughly aware of past events.


    She also understood the responsibilities she carried.


    ¡°Good,¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded with satisfaction. ¡°Then for now, go and cultivate the Star Technique. Once you have cultivated three Star Techniques to the Second Rank Limit, I will start your special training.¡±


    ¡°Train movement technique.¡±


    ¡°Comprehend the True Meaning of Wind.¡±


    ¡°Temper willpower.¡±


    ¡°Engage in actual combat.¡±


    ¡°None of these are dispensable,¡± Qiu Bingzun was well aware that in the upcoming brutal training, Liu Bing would likely face moments of being tortured to breakdown, after all, she was just a newly born little one¡­


    But as long as she kept persevering, just persevere!


    Looking back after hundreds of years, Liu Bing would likely have undergone a startling transformation.


    ¡­


    Even with the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s research on the soul was ultimately superficial.


    Therefore, it took him almost half a month before he finally began to grasp the ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± ¡®Semi-Divine Chapter¡¯.


    In the blink of an eye, time had come to the beginning of March 2046.


    Inside that quiet chamber of the mothership.


    ¡°Cultivating this secret technique is much more troublesome than cultivating a Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly: ¡°I have only just achieved minor success.¡±


    Li Yuan estimated that if a Semi-Divine Peak expert were to practice it, with an almost divine soul and the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid, they could probably fully master the ¡®Semi-Divine Chapter¡¯ in one go. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°However, just to enslave some Flying Heaven level beings, the ¡®Soul Nine Refinements¡¯ that¡¯s just getting started is sufficient,¡± Li Yuan sensed his mental consciousness.


    Compared to the past, it had become much more agile, and its power concentration was also much stronger¡­ Practicing the ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡± also significantly boosted his soul attack and soul defense from before.


    ¡°The growth of spiritual power is an unexpected joy,¡± Li Yuan sensed the unprecedented strength of his spiritual power, as his gaze also swept over the Divine Palace panel¡­ spiritual power at level 38.8.


    It is known that before using the Divine Soul Liquid, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense had been weakened after three months of depletion, becoming very feeble¡­ But in just this short half a month, not only had Li Yuan¡¯s past injuries fully recovered, but he had also progressed further.


    ¡°I previously thought that even with the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡¯ during the Prime Warrior phase, it would probably only grow to around level 39, and it would be extremely difficult to transform into the Semi-Divine level,¡± Li Yuan mused inwardly. ¡°Now it seems that in another year or two, I should be able to reach 39.9 level.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°I could try to strike for Semi-Divine level spiritual power during the Prime Warrior phase,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes held a glimmer of light.


    Semi-Divine level spiritual power would accelerate Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the mysteries of the heaven and earth.


    At the same time, it would also further raise the maximum limit of his Spiritual Awakening; perhaps he could advance to 70% or even 75%.


    ¡°The growth of the mental body, the comprehension of True Intent, will make my awakening of the Star Meridian even faster.¡±


    ¡°At the same time, there is hope to initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times,¡± Li Yuan pondered inwardly. ¡°If I can initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times, there is a great chance that I will awaken to the Eight Star Veins during the Prime Warrior stage.¡±


    Purely relying on myself? Li Yuan was fairly confident in breaking through to the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior, but the Eight Star Veins were difficult¡ªprobably not until reaching the Flying Heaven Level or even the Semi-Divine Level would there be hope.


    In the past, Li Yuan had simply set his goal on ¡®Eight Star Veins.¡¯


    However, after encountering Qiu Bingzun and understanding the vast expanse of heaven and earth, the significance of the Eight Star Veins became clearer, and Li Yuan¡¯s yearning grew even stronger.


    ¡°Perhaps I should first achieve the Seven Star Veins, and then at the Flying Heaven or Semi-Divine Levels, I could further awaken the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan pondered inwardly. ¡°The earlier the breakthrough, the better.¡±


    If the Eight Star Veins could be achieved early on,


    then at the Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine Levels, every single Star Vein could be strengthened.


    The Eight Star Veins, among the countless powerful beings of the Divine Realm, were already considered an unparalleled genius.


    What kind of genius would one be with Eight Star Veins, plus four or even five Perfect Star Veins?


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s time to act.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan used his authority to directly open the Quiet Chamber.


    Swoosh!


    He transformed into a streak of light, soaring along the metallic corridors, heading straight for the testing grounds where Xue Yan was.


    ¡°It¡¯s not far, I can arrive in six minutes,¡± Li Yuan knew precisely where Xue Yan was.


    ¡­


    Inside an enormous secret chamber within the mothership¡¯s inner layer,


    ¡°This damn trial is really difficult!¡± The Black Garment Youth ¡®Xue Yan¡¯ stared at the distant massive stone wall which was covered in a multitude of Secret Runes that came together to form various patterns.


    In front of Xue Yan, similar Mark patterns were being condensed with Origin Power.


    ¡°With my True Intent at the High Rank, condensing this divine seal is still so tough. What could possibly be hidden in the core of this inner layer to make it so difficult?¡± Xue Yan frowned.


    After more than five months in the mothership, he was quite anxious inside.


    But anxiety was pointless.


    He could either give up or continue striving.


    ¡°Focus and strive.¡±


    ¡°The core of this inner layer may very well contain treasures left behind by a True God,¡± Xue Yan pondered inwardly. ¡°In the history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, we only managed to birth a single True God, yet the foundation left by these gods allowed for the continuous emergence of Pseudo-Gods in our civilization, making it one of the strong civilizations within the Dimensional Domain¡­ A treasure left by a True God is unimaginable.¡±


    As an Inner Sect Disciple of a Divine, even at Second Rank, his vision was extraordinarily high.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The massive door to the secret chamber suddenly opened.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    Xue Yan was puzzled and turned to look, only to see a figure clad in black battle suit standing behind the door, with an indistinct face.


    Only a pair of eyes stared coldly at him.


    ¡°Second Rank? How can there be such a strong aura?¡± Xue Yan was shocked and stood up on guard, eyeing Li Yuan.


    Although Li Yuan¡¯s body had reached level 30, his Sea of Origin Power did not possess an Origin Pill¡­ This pill, when condensed, would create a special force field and aura around the body, which are the signs of a Third Rank Life.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Xue Yan asked warily, not daring to make any rash moves.


    The incident happened too abruptly; just moments ago, he was receiving an inheritance. According to the Alien God Envoy, he should not be disturbed before the time was up¡­ Xue Yan was completely bewildered.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan made his move directly; in the instant he acted, his body transformed into a height of five meters.


    He directly deployed his Body Refining Star Technique! Bursting out with full power!


    ¡°Not good.¡± Xue Yan¡¯s face turned pale, realizing that the visitor meant harm. With incredibly fast reflexes, he immediately erupted into action.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t be bothered to use his Black Chen Spear. He struck Xue Yan directly and then harshly slapped out a palm so fast that even Xue Yan¡ªa ¡®Divine Child Level genius¡¯¡ªcould not dodge in time and had to instinctively swing his Combat Saber in defense.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The palm struck the Combat Saber, and the terrifying force swept through it¡­ The Combat Saber was flung away, and Xue Yan himself was smacked flying.


    ¡°Bang!!¡± Xue Yan crashed against the nearby metal wall hard, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood with force.


    With one palm, Xue Yan was severely injured.


    A flicker of terror flashed across his eyes as he stared at the cold and Godlike figure standing not far away.


    ¡°Who¡­ who on earth are you?¡± Xue Yan asked, his voice low and teeth gritted.


    He felt that the other party was not intent on killing him; otherwise, he would have already been dead following that first palm strike.


    Suddenly,


    Xue Yan seemed to realize something and almost lost his voice, ¡°Are you the Spirit Gun from the Seven Star Civilization? Have you already gained the treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine?¡±


    In the brief moment, this was the only possibility Xue Yan could think of.


    ¡°No need for many questions.¡±


    ¡°I only ask you one thing,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice cold. ¡°Are you willing to submit to me?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t submit, then die!¡±

 Chapter 578: 330: Return of the Spirit Gun

    Chapter 578: Chapter 330: Return of the Spirit Gun


    Xue Yan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    Subjugation? Or death? The mysterious figure resembling a Spirit Gun actually wanted him to submit?


    For a moment, Xue Yan didn¡¯t know whether to call the other party confident or foolish, but he did feel the killing intent emanating from the mysterious man.


    If he refused to submit, he was probably going to die. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xue Yan, I¡¯m giving you five seconds to decide. If you don¡¯t agree, then die,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice-cold, ¡°Five, four, three¡­¡±


    Huff!


    ¡°I am willing to submit.¡± Xue Yan suddenly knelt on one knee and said solemnly, ¡°I, ¡®Xue Yan¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Civilization, am willing to submit to my master.¡±


    However, in reality, Xue Yan¡¯s mind was cold, filled with murderous intent.


    Master? Once he escaped from the Mingxu Star Realm, in the future, he must find a way to kill this idiot.


    Of course, Xue Yan also understood that the mysterious man in front of him had probably obtained the ultimate treasure of the Civilization Mothership, allowing him such authority.


    But!


    So what if he obtained the treasure? As long as he was free, returning to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the other party couldn¡¯t do anything to him.


    A true man can bend and stretch; as long as he could survive, Xue Yan didn¡¯t mind temporarily bowing his head.


    ¡°It¡¯s really maddening! If not for the encounter with those fools, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, using up the life-saving Secret Treasure, I could have escaped,¡± Xue Yan cursed inwardly.


    Earlier, just after entering the Divine Land, he had used the life-saving treasure bestowed by his master, the Bei Yue Deity.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°This is the mark of a wise man, Xue Yan. You are a talent, and talent is precious,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    How could he not understand Xue Yan¡¯s thoughts?


    Superficial submission probably meant thinking about how to bite back at him.


    ¡°Words alone are not proof,¡± Li Yuan looked down at him, ¡°Swear an oath under the Law of the Great Dao.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Xue Yan inwardly scoffed, ¡°Really an idiot. Oaths under the Law? The oath only takes effect once I Ascend to God, and violating it wouldn¡¯t take my life.¡±


    Oaths under the Law indeed have binding power.


    But they cannot control one¡¯s innermost thoughts, nor will they directly kill the oath-maker.


    What if one violates the Law¡¯s oath? The most serious backlash is continuous retribution by the Great Dao, and the speed of understanding the Mysteries of the Law would slow down.


    Compared to becoming a servant, one¡¯s life is naturally more important.


    But for Xue Yan, his lifelong goal had been to become a Fifth Rank Divine¡­ An oath under the Law? He didn¡¯t fear it at all at the moment.


    Those worried about the Law¡¯s oaths were often the ones who ardently wished for power.


    ¡°An oath under the Law?¡±


    Xue Yan¡¯s face seemed to show a struggle, and after a long hesitation, he asked, ¡°May I know the name of my master?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was cold, ¡°What, is swearing an oath under the Law such a dilemma for you?¡±


    Up to this point, Li Yuan had not revealed his ¡®Li Yuan¡¯ identity.


    He was worried Xue Yan might possess some secret treasure for communication, and before he had absolute control of the situation, he had to be cautious in his actions.


    Xue Yan¡¯s expression showed struggle, but as if making a resolution, he slowly said, ¡°I, swear by the Law of the Great Dao¡­¡±


    He quickly established a Law oath.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Xue Yan, now let go of your soul¡¯s defenses. I need to place a restriction in your soul to prevent your betrayal,¡± Li Yuan said coldly.


    ¡°Soul Restriction?¡± The color drained from Xue Yan¡¯s face, and this time, he was truly shocked.


    He knew very well that among the Divine, there were many secret treasures capable of controlling servants, and if one were to betray¡­


    Once the restriction was activated, the servant¡¯s end would be very miserable.


    ¡°What, unwilling?¡± Li Yuan stared coldly, ¡°Were you just pretending earlier? Do you truly not wish to submit to me within your heart?¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, this restriction won¡¯t take your life, nor will it affect you. After placing this restriction, I will send you back to the Myriad Demons Civilization to keep sending me information,¡± Li Yuan said coldly, offering a big incentive.


    Xue Yan was moved by the thought of being sent back.


    He had assumed that Spirit Gun would take him back to the Seven Star Civilization, but if he was allowed to return¡­ Soul Restriction?


    Within the Myriad Demons Civilization, there were several Divine beings. Surely they could undo a Second Rank Life¡¯s Soul Restriction?


    Regardless, a glimmer of hope arose in Xue Yan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°I am naturally willing to submit to my master,¡± Xue Yan¡¯s voice was low, ¡°Fine, I will release the restriction, but I hope my master will be cautious¡­ Placing a Soul Restriction, if not careful, I fear it might cause injury.¡±


    Physical injury could be healed with Origin Power.


    But if the soul were injured, at best, it would lead to severe vitality loss, at worst, one could become an imbecile or even face soul collapse.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    ¡°Relax, don¡¯t resist,¡± Li Yuan looked down at him, already silently using ¡®Soul Nine Refinements.¡¯


    Whoosh~


    An invisible Spiritual Fluctuation swept forth, piercing directly into Xue Yan¡¯s soul like a sharp spike.


    ¡°Ah~¡± Xue Yan felt an intense pain in his soul.


    ¡°Don¡¯t struggle, it¡¯s normal to feel pain. It¡¯s just one restriction, and it will be over quickly. If you resist, then don¡¯t blame me if your soul collapses,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was cold as he continued to bluff.


    In fact, if Xue Yan resisted with all his might, it would be difficult for Li Yuan to fully control him; at the very least, Xue Yan could destroy his own soul.


    After all, Li Yuan¡¯s soul was only at the Flying Heaven Level, and although much stronger than his opponent, there was no intrinsic difference between them.


    Beings like Demigods and Pseudo-Gods, when controlling enemies with Soul Control, often first severely damaged the opponent¡¯s soul with Soul Attacks, rendering the target unable to struggle¡­ Li Yuan could not do such a thing.


    But Li Yuan could bluff.


    And sure enough!


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s coercion, Xue Yan dared not resist, enduring the intense soul pain as Li Yuan continually worked within his soul¡­ The entire process lasted about ten minutes.


    Suddenly, Xue Yan felt something was not right; he sensed many thoughts rising within his heart. A flash of light in his eyes and a trace of fear emerged, ¡°No! This isn¡¯t a Soul Restriction! It¡¯s a method of Soul Control.¡±

 Chapter 579: 330: Return of the Spirit Gun_2

    Chapter 579: Chapter 330: Return of the Spirit Gun_2


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°I refuse to be controlled by Soul Control!¡± Xue Yan suddenly erupted in a roar, his eyes flashing with resolute determination.


    On the surface, submit? Imposed Soul Restriction? Xue Yan still felt there was hope to break free.


    But to be controlled by the soul? That would be the end of everything!


    Bam~


    A heavy palm slammed down on Xue Yan¡¯s body, smacking his recently healed body back to the ground, as fresh blood spurted out again, leaving him powerless to resist.


    ¡°Finally realized it?¡±


    ¡°Too late!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice was ice-cold as he suddenly sent nine thoughts crashing like a torrent into Xue Yan¡¯s soul.


    The final step of Soul Control began¡ªHeart Control.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Xue Yan tried to struggle, to destroy his own soul, but to his horror, he found that he could no longer manipulate it.


    In the past ten minutes, Li Yuan had had free rein¡­ and now Xue Yan had lost the right to control his own soul.


    ¡°It¡¯s over!!¡± Despair filled Xue Yan¡¯s heart along with a surge of resentment: ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have, I shouldn¡¯t have.¡±


    ¡°Damn Spirit Gun, to actually be able to use Soul Control? To deceive me?¡±


    He would rather die than be controlled by the soul.


    ¡­


    One minute later.


    ¡°Master!¡± A bloodied Xue Yan knelt on the ground, his eyes full of reverence: ¡°Xue Yan greets his master.¡±


    This time, it came from the heart.


    ¡°Haha, good.¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile, his eyes also showing a hint of fatigue.


    Practicing Soul Control in a real fight was very exhausting.


    But the cost was worth it; through the Soul Imprint, Li Yuan could clearly feel Xue Yan¡¯s thoughts were absolutely submissive.


    This was true enslavement.


    Methods like Soul Restriction, Oaths of Law, Servant Contracts, and so on could not control the inner thoughts of servants¡­ only Soul Control could change a person¡¯s heart.


    ¡°The current top genius of the Myriad Demons Civilization, just like that under my control.¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Li Yuan also felt a sense of caution: ¡°In the future, I must be wary of enemies, never to fall under Soul Control¡­ once controlled, it¡¯s almost as good as death.¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s worse than death.¡± Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At a master¡¯s command, a servant would not hesitate to kill his own spouse and children and would believe from his heart that it was the right thing to do.


    How terrifying was that?


    Of course.


    Soul Control was not an absolute measure; there were as many as four ways to remove it, the first being the master lifting the control.


    The second was to kill the master; once the master died, the Soul Imprint would naturally dissipate.


    The third was the servant¡¯s strength growing over time and breaking through the Soul Imprint¡¯s seal with their increasingly strong soul power, slowly regaining freedom without realizing it.


    The fourth was to find a super-strong being proficient in souls to help break the Soul Imprint.


    ¡°The ¡®Soul Nine Refinements¡¯, even among the Heavenly Divine, is a Method created by powerful beings,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°Even though the Soul Imprint I set up is weak, it would still require someone at the True God Peak to break it without damaging Xue Yan¡¯s soul.¡±


    Of course, if Xue Yan wanted to regain freedom on his own, then reaching the Pseudo-God Peak was probably enough¡­ after all, the Soul Imprint Li Yuan had set was only at the ¡®Semi Divine Level¡¯.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°It will take Xue Yan a very, very long time to reach the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°Wait until I am stronger and have practiced the ¡®Pseudo-God Level Soul Imprint¡¯, then I can rebrand it onto his soul,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Soul Control was not a once-and-for-all thing, but the benefits were immense, yielding an absolutely loyal servant.


    ¡°Xue Yan.¡±


    ¡°I will soon let you go.¡±


    ¡°After you return to the Myriad Demons Civilization, focus on cultivating yourself,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°I will have the intelligence network contact you secretly, and you can pass back some intelligence regularly, the specifics¡­ remember, before you Ascend to God, remember to transmit a message to me.¡±


    With Xue Yan¡¯s talent, even though his potential was greatly reduced by the Soul Imprint, there was still hope of Ascending to God.


    And Li Yuan would also attempt to help him continuously.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Xue Yan said respectfully: ¡°Master, do you need the inheritance and treasures I obtained earlier?¡±


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°When you go back this time, you¡¯re not a failure, but a success,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°After returning, do not reveal the secrets of the Mothership¡¯s Inner Layer¡­ Tell the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Tianliang Civilization, just say there are six Divine Being Inheritances hidden inside the Mothership¡­¡±


    Sooner or later, the Seven Star Civilization would definitely have geniuses coming to accept the Alien God inheritance from the Mothership, and the news would spread eventually.


    Therefore, protecting Xue Yan¡¯s identity was very important.


    ¡°You also should not stay in the Ming Xu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan enjoined: ¡°Go directly back to the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Xue Yan nodded.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan arranged all the details for Xue Yan¡­ using his authority on the Mothership, he allowed Xue Yan to leave the Mothership.


    ¡°The game is afoot.¡±


    ¡°Should Xue Yan one day become the leader of the Myriad Demons Civilization, that would be quite fun,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes held a hint of expectation.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization posed a great threat to the Seven Star Civilization¡­ and with centuries of hatred, especially Feixing¡¯s destruction, the Seven Star Civilization was desperate for revenge.


    Myriad Demons Civilization yearned to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.


    The Seven Star Civilization wished to extinguish the Myriad Demons Civilization just as much.


    ¡­


    Not long after, almost repeating his previous tactics, Li Yuan once again subdued Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Naturally, the process was much harder.


    Because the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was too strong, with a Life Level as high as 36 levels and the inheritance he had recently received, Li Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage in a one-on-one fight.


    The gap at the base level was too obvious.


    Compelled, Li Yuan had to use his Mothership authority to completely subdue Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    But after being completely subdued, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was rather straightforward, and Li Yuan easily employed the ¡®Soul Imprint¡¯ to fully control him.


    ¡°Master,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, resembling a Fire Kirin, said respectfully.

 Chapter 580: 330: The Return of the Spirit Gun_3

    Chapter 580: Chapter 330: The Return of the Spirit Gun_3


    ¡°`


    ¡°Can you, alone, be certain of controlling the Mingxu Beast Clan?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°I can.¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied with full confidence.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to hand over the inheritance you received to me; keep it for yourself, and cultivate diligently. Strive to become a demigod in the future.¡± Li Yuan waved his hand. ¡°Additionally, you may choose some of these Fifth Layer Star Masters and Sixth Layer Star Techniques to study.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan bestowed some Star Techniques upon Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Bound by the oath of the Law, Li Yuan dared not divulge anything above the Seventh Layer Star Techniques, as per the demands of Qiu Bingzun.


    But the Seven Stars Technique and below? Qiu Bingzun allowed Li Yuan to teach it to anyone he wished.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor felt that Li Yuan treated him, his servant, extremely well.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, first take care of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°That fool.¡± A glint of murderous intent shone in Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s eyes. ¡°He actually thought of killing my master before; there¡¯s no need for Master to act, I¡¯ll kill him myself later.¡±


    In the past, the Three Great Beast Emperors were like brothers¡­ But now, an enemy of Li Yuan was an enemy of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you, go meet him.¡±


    The two quickly left the Inner Layer and flew towards the exterior of the Mothership.


    ¡­


    Outside, within a Quiet Chamber.


    The enormous Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor lay quietly here.


    ¡°Damn it! The portal has been closed all this time, I¡¯ve been unable to leave the Mothership,¡± muttered the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to himself. ¡°Could it be that Myriad Scales never entered the control room?¡±


    If the exit portal were open, he would have long run away.


    ¡°However, hiding here all this time, probably even the Spirit Gun can¡¯t find me,¡± the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor mused quietly.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The doors of the Quiet Chamber were flung open, startling the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor to the extreme, his heart pounding as he turned to look.


    Upon seeing the figure by the door, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. ¡°Myriad Scales, you¡¯ve come out? How did it go?¡± S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already dealt with the Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°And I¡¯ve obtained the inheritance from the Inner Layer. Come on out,¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor warmly beckoned.


    ¡°Okay.¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, without any suspicion, swiftly flew towards Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Utterly unguarded.


    Years of camaraderie had made him trust Myriad Scales Beast Emperor considerably.


    Just as they drew close to each other.


    ¡°Roar~¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor suddenly opened his maw wide, fiercely biting towards the neck of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± His hooves also ferociously clawed at the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor¡¯s chest and heart.


    Splurt~Boom! Blood splattered in an instant.


    ¡°Myriad Scales!!¡± The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor was severely wounded in a blink, his mind clouded, barely able to comprehend what happened.


    ¡°Dare to pursue and kill my master, you deserve to die!¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, filled with killing intent.


    Boom~


    The doors of the chamber slammed shut again, leaving the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor no chance to escape.


    ¡­


    Two minutes later.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The doors burst open, and Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, covered in blood, flew out of the chamber and respectfully approached Li Yuan. ¡°Master, these are the treasures left by Heaven Snake.¡±


    ¡°Good job.¡± Li Yuan collected the treasures, even more pleased with Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was very powerful.


    With such a servant under him, the Mingxu Star Realm was as stable as Mount Tai; even if he were to leave, there would be no upheaval.


    However, the downside was that Myriad Scales Beast Emperor could only stay in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    As for the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor? Li Yuan had never intended to enslave him; it would have been a waste of a quota.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Xue Yan to return first to eliminate any suspicion of himself.¡±


    ¡°We shall continue to cultivate quietly within the Mothership for another two days,¡± Li Yuan said softly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor naturally complied.


    ¡­


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Continue cultivating,¡± Li Yuan was not one to waste time and continued to press on with his cultivation.


    The Visualization Method, though painful and torturous, could not be neglected.


    Understanding the Mystery of heaven and earth, observing the myriad Treasures for Assisting Cultivation, was also the fruit of accumulated effort over the days and months.


    Two days later.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± said Li Yuan, transforming into a beam of light that flew towards the portal, with Myriad Scales Beast Emperor quickly following.


    ¡­


    Atop the towering Ming Mountain, spanning thousands of kilometers.


    The once beautiful Heavenly Serpent Lake had become battered and dilapidated, no longer possessing its former splendor.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two figures burst forth from the bottom, shooting out of the water¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Myriad Scales, have you remembered all my instructions?¡± Li Yuan looked at Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    ¡°I have remembered,¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied respectfully. ¡°Master, I will swiftly gather the Flying Heaven Beast Kings of the Mingxu Beast Clan, then lead them to attack the Tianliang Civilization base.¡±


    ¡°In doing so, we will not only destroy the Tianliang Civilization but also quietly deplete the strength of the Mingxu Beast Clan.¡± Myriad Scales Beast Emperor stated earnestly, ¡°Everything is for the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Now, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor also considered himself a member of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.


    Destroying the base of the Tianliang Civilization was not difficult, as long as they used the power of the Mothership. Artillery firing from tens of thousands of miles away could probably kill most of the Initial Rank Flying Heaven warriors.


    But!!!


    That would expose the fact that the Seven Star Civilization had completely taken control of the Civilization Mothership¡­ Naturally, it would increase the risk of exposing Xue Yan.


    Furthermore, the remaining strength of the Mingxu Beast Clan was still too strong.


    It was uncontrollable.


    Thus, Li Yuan¡¯s plan was to hide his own identity, pretending that ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ had acquired only one of the Six Great Alien Gods¡¯ inheritances.


    Then, he would have Myriad Scales Beast Emperor lead the Mingxu Beast Clan to clash with the Tianliang Civilization¡­ Unknowingly and utterly disintegrating the Mingxu Beast Clan¡¯s power.


    Until the entire territory and resources of the Mingxu Star Realm were completely under the control of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Go ahead,¡± Li Yuan instructed. ¡°I¡¯ll continue to stay in the Mingxu Star Realm for a while longer. If anything comes up, you can contact me through the soul branding.¡±


    Master and Soul Servant could communicate through the soul; the stronger their souls, the farther apart they could be and still make contact.


    In fact, if both parties¡¯ souls were powerful enough, they could even contact each other across different Dimensional Planes.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 581: 330: Return of the Spirit Gun_4

    Chapter 581: Chapter 330: Return of the Spirit Gun_4


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor nodded.


    Immediately, he transformed into a stream of light and left.


    Having obtained the ¡®Mothership Map Access¡¯ granted by Li Yuan, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor could easily locate each Beast King¡­ and with the cumulative authority of his years as the Beast Emperor, coupled with the demise of the other two great Beast Emperors¡­ it was clear he would have little trouble taking control of the Mingxu Beast Clan.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare to return,¡± Li Yuan watched as the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor departed.


    ¡°This trip to Ming Mountain has brought tremendous gains. In terms of wealth and treasures, I surpass many demigods of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently, ¡°In terms of heritage¡­ considering the magnitude, probably the entire civilization¡¯s accumulation isn¡¯t comparable to mine.¡±


    All things considered, Li Yuan had already received two True God Heritages, one from an Earth System True God and another from a Wind System True God.


    ¡°I¡¯ve also received help from little Bing, a future True God Peak powerhouse,¡± Li Yuan felt full of purpose, ¡°All these accumulations.¡±


    ¡°Next.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s to cultivate step by step. Now, I have become the Prime Warrior of the civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the future, it is to strive to become the strongest Flying Heaven Warrior, the strongest demigod,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯m not looking to compete with the geniuses in Seven Star Civilization¡¯s history.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s with the Third Rank and Fourth Rank geniuses in the Divine Realm,¡± Li Yuan mused silently.


    The talents from the vast Divine Realm were the benchmarks for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Until one day, utterly eradicate all threats from the Star Realms and make my Seven Star Civilization truly powerful,¡± Li Yuan held this aspiration in his heart, ¡°To become as strong as the Immortal Ruins Civilization, or even stronger.¡±


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization is the epitome of absolute power.


    Over the long years, the Immortal Ruins Civilization never worried about invasions from other civilizations within the Dimensional Domain.


    ¡°Back to Bright Moon Base.¡±


    ¡°Settle everything, then I¡¯ll return to Xia Country to see my uncle and aunt,¡± Li Yuan knew.


    It had been half a year without news, and even though Yu Jinghe had sent a message back, the higher-ups of the civilization probably wouldn¡¯t reveal much to his uncle and aunt.


    The family must be very anxious.


    Swoosh! Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, soaring into the sky.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan had just flown out of Heavenly Serpent Lake.


    At the Bright Moon Base, inside a Fourth Rank Battleship in the conference room, only one Life Crystal remained.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe said Spirit Gun is still alive.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s been so long without any news,¡± Tavares sighed softly.


    ¡°He might have been alive then, but what about now?¡± Jiang Zai also shook his head.


    Both were filled with concern.


    As Flying Heaven Warriors, they could not leave the Mingxu Star Realm, naturally fearing the eventual need for a mass exodus.


    It¡¯s not that they feared death, but they didn¡¯t wish for it.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The previously white Life Crystal suddenly burst into a dazzling red light.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai were first stunned, then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.


    Whirr~ S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the center of the conference room, a huge light screen suddenly emerged, displaying a figure in black battle suit, who appeared to be flying at high speed.


    ¡°Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°He really came out?¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai were thrilled.


    ¡°That excited, huh?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s voice carried a hint of a smile, ¡°Send the message to Bai Shan Semi-Divine and the others, just say that I have received Divine Being Inheritance and have come out alive.¡±


    ¡°Before long.¡±


    ¡°You will also be able to enter Divine Land, to attempt to receive Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    There are many benefits within the Civilization Mothership, which Li Yuan might disregard, but they would be useful for most Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Good! Good.¡±


    ¡°Divine Being Inheritance?¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai were both astounded and overjoyed.


    ¡­


    ¡°Spirit Gun has returned.¡± This news spread at an astonishing speed, swiftly reaching Fang Hai, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, and the others.


    Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, also quickly became aware.

 Chapter 582: 331 News

    Chapter 582: Chapter 331 News


    In the Bright Moon Base, Li Yuan had already returned from Ming Mountain.


    Within a Fourth Rank Battleship, Li Yuan had finished his exchange with Tavares, Jiang Zai, and others. Dozens of warriors wielding Flying Heaven Level combat power, who had been informed by the base, had just departed.


    Within the Quiet Chamber.


    Li Yuan settled down and logged directly into V-Chat through the battleship¡¯s virtual network.


    Separated by different worlds, smart wristbands couldn¡¯t connect to the virtual networks on Blue Star or Feixing. One must rely on the battleship or the base¡¯s network.


    Upon logging in, he found an overwhelming number of unread messages.


    ¡°Uncle sent 8 messages, aunt over 20, Qian Qian sent me 10 messages, Muhua¡­ 2 messages.¡± Li Yuan first noticed the messages from family members pinned at the top of the chat.


    Li Yuan clicked to open the chat with his uncle.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, why haven¡¯t you been in touch? Have you been busy with your training lately¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, send a message home when you have the time¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, Provincial Hall Master Yang has informed us. You¡¯re undergoing closed-off training to surpass the Flying Heaven Level¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, everything at home is fine, with me here, you can train with peace of mind¡­¡± In recent months, Uncle Li Changzhou had been sending a message every month, all with the same content.


    And Aunt¡¯s messages were clearly filled with worry, but she didn¡¯t dare to say outright, ¡°Xiao Yuan, even if you must endure tough training, remember to take good care of yourself¡­¡±


    ¡­He read through each of the family messages one by one.


    For some reason, Li Yuan¡¯s eyes started to moisten, and he suddenly felt the urge to go home immediately.


    It had been a long time since he had spent proper time with his family.


    ¡°Other people who attend Martial Arts University get a month¡¯s vacation each year.¡± A touch of guilt arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°But I only attended university for one year before heading to the Martial Divine Star Realm¡­ Apart from making my uncle and aunt worry¡­¡±


    At this moment, Li Yuan fully understood that infamous saying: ¡®The moment you become an adult, you¡¯ve already spent most of the time you¡¯ll ever have with your parents.¡¯


    Although Li Yuan was now astonishingly wealthy and highly esteemed, with his family living without worry and even in comfort.


    But affection is not something that can be purely measured by money.


    Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan quickly began replying to his uncle and aunt: ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ve come out of the intensive training, and in at most half a month, I should be able to come home¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Besides family, there were many friends and relatives, such as his good brother from high school, Zhou Qi, Li Tianyou, and others, as well as good friends like Gu Qianghan and Shi Xiao.


    There were also peers like Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Dantai Feng, Alicia, and others who had entered the Martial Divine Star Realm together.


    And many elder friends as well.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve become a 15th Rank Martial Artist and am about to venture into a Star Realm for the first time.¡± This was a message from Li Tianyou, sent a month ago. He was already in his third year.


    Apparently, as years passed, Li Tianyou had been doing very well at Jiangbei Martial University.


    As for people like Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang, their skills had reached Fifth Stage High Rank¡­


    Alicia¡¯s growth was even more terrifying; she was at Fifth Stage Perfection, and she was expected to become a member of Seven Star Mountain by July this year, the brightest rising star in the Martial Divine Star Realm this year.


    Alicia had sent a lot of messages, more than ten, a rather large number among his friends. Her words also reflected worry.


    ¡°It seems!¡±


    ¡°In the Martial Divine Star Realm, Duanmu Mountain Master must have announced that I was participating in closed-off intensive training,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, how are your training sessions going in Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± This was a message from Li Yang a few months ago.


    Upon seeing this message, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly.


    In fact, he had just seen Teacher Li Yang.


    But for the sake of secrecy, Li Yuan had never acknowledged him, so Li Yang had no idea that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve become a 28th Rank Origin Martial Artist. It looks like there¡¯s hope for me to become a Top Level Origin Martial Artist in this lifetime. Haha, remember to tell me when you get back to Jiang City.¡± This was a message from Wan Qinghe.


    It was sent five months ago.


    Li Yuan could sense ¡®Uncle Wan¡¯ must be brimming with high spirits.


    ¡­


    This world, clearly, did not stop just because Li Yuan had disappeared, but continued to move forward uninterrupted, and his family and friends were all living their lives.


    But they had all been continuously worried about Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan replied to each message one by one. It took a long time before he finished replying to all of them, and then his gaze fell on one particular chat box.


    Because, among everyone, the one who sent the most messages wasn¡¯t his aunt, but¡ªLin Lanyue.


    Unread messages 99+


    There were over a hundred messages.


    ¡°Lanyue.¡± Li Yuan was dazed for a long time.


    He gently clicked, and the earliest message was from last November. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I heard Mingxu Star Realm won a big victory in the war; take extra care.¡±


    ¡°I haven¡¯t heard from you for a long time. I pressed San Ye Semi Divine for answers, and she told me that your Life Crystal had dimmed, possibly fallen in Mingxu Star Realm¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to believe it. I went to Fierce Feather Star Realm and asked the Boundary Spirit, but he couldn¡¯t confirm if you were dead or alive either¡­¡±


    ¡°I believe in you, you definitely wouldn¡¯t just die like that¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯re alive. I¡¯m still looking forward to the day you become Divine.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve reached Fifth Stage Perfection in my skills. According to tradition, I should celebrate and invite Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and others¡­ I¡¯ll wait for you to return before celebrating¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s snowing in Martial Divine Star Realm; this is my first time seeing it, and you¡¯re in Mingxu Star Realm¡ªI believe you¡¯re just temporarily stranded somewhere¡­¡±


    ¡°During the Spring Festival, I visited Jiang City once to wish uncle and aunt a Happy New Year. They seem to be in good health, and they apparently don¡¯t know you¡¯re Spirit Gun; don¡¯t worry¡­¡±


    ¡°You must live.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you to come back¡­¡±


    ¡­


    One message after another struck Li Yuan¡¯s heart indescribably; he felt something inside being stirred.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s heart, Lin Lanyue held a very special place.


    And this time, adopting the name ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ to enter the Martial Divine Star Realm, those who knew his true identity, like Luo Chan, Yan Jing, Fang Hai, and San Ye Semi-Divine¡­ either were not that close, or they were all elders.


    Simply put, purely in terms of emotions, their connections were not that deep.


    Whereas for close relatives and friends who were extremely affectionate, most were unaware of the ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯s fall.


    Only Lin Lanyue, by virtue of her status, was sufficiently high-ranking, and as a disciple of the Divine, she was able to converse with San Ye Semi-Divine and knew Li Yuan was Spirit Gun.


    In terms of emotions, hers were much deeper than those of Luo Chan and Dantai Feng.


    ¡°Yu Jinghe has been out for quite some time.¡±


    ¡°But it seems the higher-ups of civilization have been keeping it a secret,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Even Tavares and Jiang Zai only know Yu Jinghe is alive and out; none of these high-ranking individuals from the Star Realms knew I was alive before.¡±


    ¡°To keep it secret, of course, the higher-ups wouldn¡¯t inform Lin Lanyue voluntarily.¡±


    After a long contemplation,


    Li Yuan activated his special privilege and, through the warship, directly called Lin Lanyue¡¯s communicator.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside an ultra-large mansion,


    This was Lin Lanyue¡¯s residence.


    ¡°Uncle, what is it this time?¡± Lin Lanyue frowned and said, looking at the figure on the screen.


    ¡°Lanyue, the family still hopes you can attend this latest meeting,¡± the middle-aged man in the screen said with a wry smile. ¡°Consider it doing a favor for your uncle.¡±


    ¡°Uncle, you¡¯ve always been good to me, and I can agree to anything else¡­ but I won¡¯t participate in the Blazing Flame Family¡¯s meetings right now,¡± Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    ¡°The patriarch said when you reach the Flying Heaven Level, it will be your time to take over as clan leader,¡± the middle-aged man sighed. ¡°Those elders, they all want to meet you now.¡±


    ¡°Meet me for what now?¡±


    Lin Lanyue shook her head, ¡°I won¡¯t meddle in the clan¡¯s affairs right now. I just want to quietly cultivate. If they have any issues, they should organize their materials and bring them to the Alliance¡¯s Disciplinary Committee.¡±


    ¡°Are you really going to turn the family upside down?¡± the uncle said with a wry smile. ¡°About what happened to your mother¡­¡±


    ¡°Uncle!¡±


    Lin Lanyue cut him off directly, speaking in a low voice, ¡°You don¡¯t need to lecture me. If those elders are afraid I¡¯ll trouble them in the future, let them go to the patriarch and ask the patriarch to rescind the decision.¡±


    The middle-aged man was at a loss for words.


    Rescind the decision? The Flame City Semi-Divine had long stated that Lin Lanyue was the most promising in the Blazing Flame Family to become Semi-Divine¡­ how could it be rescinded?


    ¡°Alright, if you truly don¡¯t want to return, so be it.¡±


    ¡°I will try my best to placate the elders,¡± the middle-aged man sighed. ¡°Take care while cultivating in the Martial Divine Hall.¡±


    Lin Lanyue nodded slightly and hung up the phone.


    She was very grateful to her uncle as, back when Li Changzhou was injured, it was she who sought him out to ask for a treasure to be sent overnight from Feixing to Blue Star¡­


    But towards the Blazing Flame Family¡­ Lin Lanyue had extremely complex feelings.


    Not long after hanging up.


    ¡°Master, ¡®Li Yuan,¡¯ whom you specially follow, is requesting communication,¡± the assistant AI¡¯s voice rang out.


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s body trembled slightly, her eyes gaining a glint of disbelief.


    ¡°Master, would you like to take the call?¡± the AI¡¯s voice sounded again.


    ¡°Take it!¡± Lin Lanyue said immediately.


    *Drip* The communication connected.


    ¡°Lanyue, it¡¯s me,¡± a deep voice sounded.


    Lin Lanyue abruptly covered her mouth, tears faintly visible in her eyes, yet she made no sound.


    ¡°I saw the messages you sent,¡± the deep voice continued, pausing for quite a while before adding, ¡°The conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm shouldn¡¯t last too long. I¡¯ll return to the Martial Divine Star Realm soon.¡±


    ¡°Wait for me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, be careful,¡± Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes glistened with tears, but her voice remained calm.


    She didn¡¯t ask for reasons from Li Yuan, knowing his importance to the entire civilization.


    Silently,


    The barrier between them seemed to be slowly dissolving.


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Having hung up, Li Yuan felt much calmer inside; after a while, he quietly resumed his cultivation.


    Not long after,


    Another communication arrived, and with a raised eyebrow, Li Yuan clicked to answer the call: ¡°Principal, it¡¯s me.¡±


    ¡°Your news vanished for half a year, scaring us all to death. Both Bai Shan Semi-Divine and I were really worried you died in the Divine Land,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice came through.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Brother Yu come out first?¡± Li Yuan immediately said.


    ¡°We knew you weren¡¯t dead, but since Yu Jinghe didn¡¯t reveal too much, how could we not worry?¡± Fang Hai sighed. ¡°After all, according to what Yu Jinghe said, that Divine Land involves more than one Divine.¡±


    ¡°Mhm, it¡¯s a big involvement,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    While he couldn¡¯t reveal the Heavenly Serpent Divine, the exterior of the Mothership was impossible to hide.


    ¡°How about it? Are you confident of taking Ming Xu Star Realm now?¡± Fang Hai asked.


    ¡°I am one hundred percent certain,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Good,¡± Fang Hai laughed. ¡°Now, enter the virtual network, Starfire Space.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch wants to see you.¡±

 Chapter 583: 332: Meeting the Alliance Hierarch

    Chapter 583: Chapter 332: Meeting the Alliance Hierarch


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch wants to see me?¡± Li Yuan was stunned; he had not been back for long.


    ¡°When Yu Jinghe came out, the Alliance Hierarch did not summon him,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°But your situation is different. Firstly, you are much more important, and secondly, according to Yu Jinghe, you should now control the core secrets of the Divine Land.¡±


    ¡°The secrets of Ming Mountain.¡±


    ¡°The entire upper echelon of the civilization is very concerned,¡± Fang Hai stated gravely. ¡°It¡¯s quite normal for the Alliance Hierarch to want to see you immediately.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    He then disconnected the communication with Fang Hai.


    In this Quiet Chamber, there was a Virtual Network Cabin. Li Yuan directly entered and logged into the virtual network.


    Wanting to directly contact the Feixing Virtual Network from the Star Realm? It required extremely high permissions.


    ¡­


    In the virtual network, Starfire Space.


    ¡°Hmm? I have an extra permission?¡± Li Yuan noticed an abnormality in his permissions as soon as he entered.


    He was already qualified to enter the ¡°Starfire Realm,¡± and there was also a message from Fang Hai.


    Following the message, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness entered the Starfire Realm.


    This was a vast void, with only a floating palace in it, completely red, with gold and red lights mixed together, dazzling endlessly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come here,¡± said Fang Hai, dressed in black, already waiting outside the palace, smiling.


    ¡°The principal is also here?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly flew over.


    ¡°Let¡¯s enter together; the Alliance Hierarch is right here,¡± Fang Hai whispered. ¡°In the past, only over twenty demigods from the Martial Hall could come to this Starfire Realm.¡±


    ¡°I was previously granted access, and you are the second,¡± Fang Hai explained as they walked.


    Li Yuan immediately understood that this virtual space, ¡°Starfire Realm,¡± must be the gathering place for the highest echelons of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Over twenty demigods?


    ¡°In the entire Seven Stars Civilization, are there over twenty demigods belonging to the Starfire Martial Hall?¡± Li Yuan wondered silently.


    Before this, with his permissions, he had been able to find that there were over fifty demigods in the Seven Stars Civilization.


    Now, it seemed there were even more.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Fang Hai led Li Yuan into the palace. The interior was quite spacious and empty, and at the far end of the hall, a figure in a golden robe was sitting cross-legged, radiating an extremely sharp aura.


    It was Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Fang Hai bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan also bowed. He felt it strange that the aura of the Alliance Hierarch in the virtual network seemed even more sharp and commanding than in reality.


    The last time he saw Dongfang Ji, he only felt that the other¡¯s aura was strong and vast but not so overwhelming as now.


    The Law of Metal.


    ¡°Sit,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, waving his hand, and two chairs appeared in front of Li Yuan.


    Fang Hai sat down without hesitation, and Li Yuan did the same.


    ¡°I have generally reviewed your report,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s gaze fell on Li Yuan. ¡°But there are some doubts I want to ask you about, so I specifically asked Fang Hai to bring you here.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, please ask me; whatever I can say, I will definitely tell,¡± Li Yuan spoke honestly.


    After coming out from the Mothership, Li Yuan had quickly prepared a document briefly describing his experiences and explaining the situation inside the Civilization Mothership¡­ although the content was very rough.


    ¡°You mentioned in your report about the Divine Land in the Ruins Star Realm, that it is indeed a God-Level Mothership, but based on your report and combined with Yu Jinghe¡¯s report, the ¡®Six Great Alien God Heritage¡¯ you talked about only involves the outer layer, right?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan with a smile. ¡°What about the inner layer? Does it involve True God Heritage?¡±


    ¡°Did you all make a Law Oath? Is it hard to say?¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Haha,¡± Fang Hai showed a smile. ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be surprised; the teacher¡¯s vision exceeds your imagination.¡±


    ¡°True God Heritage, it¡¯s very terrifying.¡±


    ¡°But you don¡¯t have to worry about it being taken away,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°Having seen the Martial Divine Hall and with your experiences, you should be able to guess that what the teacher controls¡­ also far exceeds your imagination.¡±


    ¡°Even I have a share of True God Heritage,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°The principal also has True God Heritage?¡± Li Yuan was shocked internally, creating a huge stir.


    This was definitely explosive news.


    ¡°Fang Hai also became a Seven Star Vein not long ago, only then fully obtaining that True God Heritage recognition,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°The core heritage of a True God usually requires the Seven Star Veins.¡±


    Li Yuan was increasingly shocked and couldn¡¯t help but look at Fang Hai.


    Seven Star Veins?


    According to Qiu Bingzun, even in the Divine Realm, the Seven Star Veins were already considered very powerful.


    If the principal is so powerful, what about the even more mysterious and powerful Alliance Hierarch? For a moment, a rush of thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    At that moment, Li Yuan vaguely realized that he might have touched upon some of the core aspects of civilization.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, that Mothership involves the heritage of a Wind-System True God,¡± Li Yuan stated earnestly. ¡°It left behind many treasures and Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Wind System? Is it that True God from the Heavenly Serpent Clan?¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    Li Yuan was increasingly astonished.


    The Alliance Hierarch was incredible¡ªhad he guessed all this? In his and Yu Jinghe¡¯s reports, they had not yet mentioned this.


    ¡°You have received the True God Heritage, so you should know many things,¡± said Dongfang Ji slowly. ¡°Are you aware of the Divine Realm?¡±


    ¡°I am,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Beside him, Fang Hai remained calm, seemingly already aware and unsurprised.


    ¡°And the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Dongfang Ji asked.


    ¡°I¡¯ve learned some about it,¡± Li Yuan hesitated and then added, ¡°And also about Nine Leaves Nine Mountains. I know quite a bit about that too.¡±


    From the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s demeanor, Li Yuan understood that his strength and the hidden forces behind him likely surpassed his own imagination.


    ¡°The war of the gods ten thousand years ago saw many divine beings from the Divine Realm descend, among them, a deity from the Heavenly Serpent Clan, who was one of the strongest,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly. ¡°He brought a Civilization Mothership. These are no secrets¡­ After his fall, the Civilization Mothership disappeared without a trace.¡±


    ¡°I have always speculated that his Civilization Mothership must have crashed into one of the Star Realms near our Seven Stars Civilization¡­ It was not until I observed Ming Mountain and the Flying Heaven Beast Kings in the Mingxu Star Realm that I became sixty percent confident that Ming Mountain is the Civilization Mothership of that Heavenly Serpent Clan deity,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    ¡°I have been waiting.¡±


    ¡°Waiting for the entrance of the Mingxu Star Realm to upgrade to a Second Level Star Realm, I knew that the opportunity had arrived,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled at Li Yuan. ¡°Luckily, your talent and strength were high enough that you directly seized the heritage.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, it really would have been troublesome.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with increasing shock.


    From the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s words, had he identified the secret of Ming Mountain long ago?


    Li Yuan also immediately understood why the last time the Alliance Hierarch had given him information, he specifically mentioned the Civilization Mothership.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡±


    ¡°With so many civilizations within the Dimensional Domain and even more Dimensional Planes, why did you believe that the Heavenly Serpent Clan True God¡¯s Civilization Mothership crashed near our Seven Stars Civilization?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask.


    Dongfang Ji could not help but smile.


    Beside him, Fang Hai also showed a smile. ¡°Li Yuan, have you ever thought about why our Seven Stars Civilization has so many Star Realms? Why do numerous Foreign Civilizations constantly desire to invade our Seven Stars Civilization?¡±


    Li Yuan was momentarily stumped.


    In fact, this was also what perplexed Li Yuan; he had previously received extensive intelligence about the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization from Xue Yan and Liang Qi¡­ Upon comparison, Li Yuan had discovered a critical point.


    Compared to these Foreign Civilizations, the Star Realms of the Seven Stars Civilization¡­ were too numerous!! S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Star Realms connected to the Seven Great Planets totaled, perhaps, over a thousand.


    All these belonged to Exterior Dimensional Star Realms.


    This was quite inconceivable.


    As mighty as the Myriad Demons Civilization, with several dozen Life Planets, other than the ¡®Interior Dimensional Star Realms¡¯ between planets, over tens of thousands of years, they had only discovered a little over a hundred Exterior Dimensional Star Realms.


    Only a tenth of the Seven Stars Civilization!


    You must know, these Star Realm entrances of the Seven Stars Civilization had all appeared just in the last few hundred years.


    Very strange.


    All this indicated the uniqueness of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    ¡°In our entire Dimensional Domain, there are over ten thousand Dimensional Planes,¡± Dongfang Ji whispered. ¡°Most of these Dimensional Planes have spawned life, but only a few have developed a relatively advanced civilization¡­ And even fewer have given birth to Divine beings.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    ¡°Many Dimensional Planes collide and intersect¡­ forming many junction points,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°These junctions are spatially unstable, which causes Star Realms to be frequently born and destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Is our Seven Stars Civilization one such junction point?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes, and no,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile.


    Li Yuan grew even more puzzled.


    ¡°Once, the previous era of the Seven Stars Civilization was very prosperous,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes held a reminiscing look. ¡°It had more than ten Life Planets and also gave birth to Divine beings.¡±


    ¡°The previous era?¡± many thoughts surfaced in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Everything changed over ten thousand years ago, with the emergence of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ Just the repercussions alone had a massive impact on many nearby Dimensional Planes.¡±


    ¡°The most affected was the Dimensional Plane of our Seven Stars Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan. ¡°The entire plane¡¯s civilization was directly obliterated, along with the Plane¡¯s Origin suffering damage, which resulted in the Plane¡¯s Origin Power being absorbed to repair itself¡­ It was only thousands of years ago that our civilization¡¯s ancestors began to redevelop from a wilderness state, up till today.¡±


    ¡°Only two thousand years ago did the Origin of the Plane begin to recover initially, the Star Gates opened, and Origin Power gradually pervaded the entire Dimensional Plane.¡±


    Li Yuan listened in shock.


    No wonder, while civilizations like the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization had been passed down for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, the Seven Stars Civilization was much weaker.


    All this was due to the obliteration of the previous civilization.


    Was the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain the chief culprit?


    ¡°That upheaval turned our Seven Stars Plane into a new junction point; the instability of space has resulted in numerous Star Realms being born in these few hundred years, gradually recovering the Origin Power within the Plane, thus establishing connections with many Star Realms,¡± Dongfang Ji explained. ¡°This also allowed us to come into contact with other Foreign Civilizations.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully.


    Throughout history, the civilization had undergone increasingly significant changes over the past few centuries.


    ¡°All this is secondary.¡±


    ¡°The key point,¡± Dongfang Ji said slowly, ¡°is that it has led to the birth of two crucial Star Realms within our Seven Stars Civilization¡ªNine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm.¡±


    Nine Leaves Nine Mountains? Li Yuan was increasingly astonished.


    ¡°Other civilizations find it difficult to enter the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡¯s Nine Leaves Nine Mountains,¡± Dongfang Ji stated. ¡°But we can enter directly through the Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°This is both a disaster and an opportunity!¡±

 Chapter 584: 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled

    Chapter 584: Chapter 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled


    Nine Leaves Star Realm? Nine Mountains Star Realm?


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Alliance Hierarch, are these two Star Realms exclusive to our Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Exclusive,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded. ¡°The Nine Leaves Star Realm is a Third Level Star Realm, and the Nine Mountains Star Realm is a Fourth Level Star Realm. In fact, there isn¡¯t much treasure within these two Star Realms, just that each has a separate passage leading deep into the Nine Leaves and the Nine Mountains.¡±


    Li Yuan marveled in secret.


    This was indeed a great opportunity for the Seven Star Civilization.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also vaguely understood. So, does that mean the Nine Leaves Star Realm only allows those at the Flying Heaven Level to enter?


    ¡°The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is mysterious and incomprehensible, with invisible rules in operation. We call its core ¡®Ancient Domain,¡¯ a Starry Sky Space Rift situated between planes,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said. ¡°Therefore, the Divine from many Dimensional Domains can enter along this Starry Sky Space Rift, and even the Divine from the Divine Realm can descend in this way¡­ Over the long years, the treasures that were easy to obtain in the periphery of the Ancient Domain have already been taken.¡±


    ¡°Today, for those Divine to dare enter the Ancient Domain, it¡¯s tantamount to a survival rate of one in ten,¡± Dongfang Ji solemnly said.


    Li Yuan listened quietly, he was beginning to understand.


    ¡°So the Myriad Demons Civilization wants to invade our Seven Star Civilization for these two Star Realms?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled. ¡°But I remember, Alliance Hierarch, you met Teacher Lie Feng in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°Does this mean that powerful beings from other dimensions can still enter the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°Enter, they can certainly enter,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile next to him. ¡°Li Yuan, anyone can enter the Ancient Domain at the core, but it¡¯s difficult for everyone to do so.¡±


    ¡°But the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains are part of the outer regions.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Leaves World only allows those at the Flying Heaven Level to enter; the Nine Mountains World only allows Demigods,¡± Fang Hai explained. ¡°Other civilizations¡¯ Flying Heaven beings and Demigods, if aided by Divine¡­ can also reach the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, and then attempt to enter the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains, but just the dangers of the outermost layer alone are enough to kill ninety percent of those Flying Heaven Level and Demigods before they can truly enter the Nine Leaves World, the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains are likewise fraught with peril, which is why, for every hundred Flying Heaven and Demigods from those Foreign Civilizations, hardly one survives,¡± Fang Hai remarked.


    Li Yuan was more and more alarmed upon hearing this¡ªa one percent survival rate?


    ¡°The Immortal Ruins Civilization is one of the most powerful civilizations in the Dimensional Domain. The largest campaign they had ever organized involved rallying over two hundred Demigods to attempt the challenge,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly. ¡°In the end, only one made it out alive.¡±


    ¡°And the one who survived wasn¡¯t even the strongest among them,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head.


    ¡°This¡ª¡± Li Yuan was at a loss for words.


    How brutal.


    That was a Demigod! Out of hundreds, only one survives? And survival doesn¡¯t even depend on strength.


    Such knowledge must surely dishearten any Demigod who heard it.


    Dongfang Ji spoke slowly, ¡°The powerful from our Seven Star Civilization, by going through these two Star Realms into the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains, have a very low death rate and have obtained a great deal of treasure.¡± S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Lant thus became the first Demigod of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°My own strength, too, is inseparably linked to the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai¡¯s True God Heritage also originates from the Nine Leaves World,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Our entire civilization has thus thrived, and many of our treasures are even coveted by Divine beings.¡±


    Li Yuan was shocked to hear this.


    So, it seemed the Seven Star Civilization, in just a few hundred years, caught up with the Tianliang Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and others¡­ all of which was inseparable from the Nine Mountains and Nine Leaves.


    ¡°Therefore,¡±


    ¡°Any Foreign Civilizations capable of passing through Star Realms and bordering our Seven Star Civilization, as long as they have a bit of strength, naturally harbor covetous thoughts,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°The greatest threats are the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Myriad Demon Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Immortal Ruins Civilization?¡± Li Yuan was astonished. ¡°Have we also been involved in a major war with them?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, you¡¯ve clashed with the Immortal Ruins Civilization; you should be aware of their strength,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°They haven¡¯t made a move only because there hasn¡¯t been a chance.¡±


    ¡°We border the Myriad Demon Civilization at a Fourth Level Star Realm ¡®Demon Mountain Star Realm¡¯ situated in Feixing,¡± Fang Hai continued. ¡°That has been the root cause of several major wars.¡±


    ¡°And the great extinction in Feixing¡¯s history originated from there.¡±


    Demon Mountain Star Realm?


    Li Yuan sighed to himself, having previously read about it in the database.


    This was the only Fourth Level Star Realm within the Seven Star Civilization, located in Feixing, and it allowed Demigods to pass through.


    ¡°With Teacher guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the Myriad Demons Civilization has temporarily given up on invading,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°As for the Immortal Ruins Civilization, we are connected by two Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°One is the Fierce Feather Star Realm in Feixing, a Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The other is the Kunlun Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai paused. ¡°That¡¯s the one beneath Kunlun Martial University¡­ which may break through to become a Third Level Star Realm at any time.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath; he was naturally no stranger to the Kunlun Star Realm.


    Over the past few decades, Principal Fang Hai stayed at Kunlun Martial University, with the purpose of guarding the entrance to the Kunlun Star Realm¡­ being the principal was just incidental.


    ¡°The Kunlun Star Realm is vast and stable; in the Teacher¡¯s predictions, it¡¯s not far from becoming a Third Level Star Realm and might eventually even become a Fourth Level Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Tell me, will the Immortal Ruins Civilization remain amiable by then?¡±


    ¡°They maintain peace with us because they¡¯ve never had the chance.¡±


    ¡°As far as we know, the number of civilizations annihilated by the Immortal Ruins Civilization is not small,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly, a sense of intense crisis welling up in his heart.


    The Demon Mountain Star Realm was far off in Feixing¡­ but the Kunlun Star Realm was right here on Blue Star, within Xia Country!


    One Rob Sea Star Realm had already made Xia Country lose sleep.


    Should the Kunlun Star Realm advance to a Fourth Level Star Realm? The Immortal Ruins Civilization was much more powerful than the Myriad Demons Civilization, and if a major war erupted, the clash of numerous Demigods could potentially destroy most of Xia Country.

    Chapter 585: Chapter 333: Passing on the Torch! Ming Xu is Settled_2


    Never!


    He would never allow such a thing to happen! The thought rose uncontrollably in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The more Li Yuan saw and understood, the less naive he was compared to his youthful student days.


    Everything in his heart was for himself, for the might of the Seven Star Civilization! It was a natural order where the strong preyed on the weak.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Today I brought you here just to let you understand the core secrets of our civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°You have high talent, higher than mine, higher than Fang Hai¡¯s, it¡¯s just that you are still young and haven¡¯t fully realized your potential yet.¡±


    ¡°Maestro, I¡­¡± Li Yuan was about to speak.


    ¡°No need to be modest,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°As a Prime Warrior, you¡¯ve burst forth with Flying Heaven Peak strength at just Second Rank and received two True God heritages, which proves everything.¡±


    ¡°Even if placed in the Divine Realm, you would probably be considered a rare genius,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Two True God heritages? Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised,¡± Fang Hai joked, ¡°Li Yuan, the affairs in the Fierce Feather Star Realm might deceive others, but not your teacher. There should also be an Earth System True God heritage in the World within Worlds.¡±


    Li Yuan fell silent, ceasing to argue.


    The more he interacted, the more unfathomable the Alliance Hierarch seemed¡­ now feeling the other party more mysterious than ever.


    ¡°With talent comes responsibility,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is an opportunity for our Seven Star Civilization, which might allow our civilization to become the strongest in the Dimensional Domain.¡±


    ¡°But, if we ourselves are not strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Then, whether it is the possible turmoil in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the future or invasions from other civilizations, all could destroy our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°By then, the Seven Great Planets would be entirely destroyed, billions would die, and all traces erased¡­ it¡¯s not impossible.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart tightened upon hearing this.


    Then, it would be a repetition of the downfall of a past civilization.


    ¡°Countless precedents have proven that even True Gods cannot fully control the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, it¡¯s too remote for us¡­¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly, ¡°But at least, we need to make efforts to fend off invasions from other civilizations.¡±


    ¡°The height of a civilization depends on the stature of its top warriors.¡±


    ¡°If our civilization could give birth to a Pseudo-God, it would be much safer.¡±


    ¡°If it could produce a True God! Then we could say that our Seven Star Civilization truly stands tall among the Dimensional Domain civilizations, unafraid of most storms,¡± a hint of inexplicable light flashed in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Becoming a Pseudo-God, for those Semi-Divines in our civilization as well as many young talents, there is some hope, for Semi-Divines live a thousand years, anything is possible,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly, ¡°But becoming a True God?¡±


    ¡°At least, in my view, besides me, only you two have the potential,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at the two.


    ¡°Now with my presence, our civilization is temporarily safe,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°but relying solely on me is not enough, for I can¡¯t guard it forever.¡±


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine once protected our civilization for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Later, he assisted me, and I was able to grow rapidly.¡±


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for your generation of leaders,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Starfire! Passing on the torch, from generation to generation, never extinguishing!¡±


    ¡°This, is the original intention of me and Lant Semi-Divine when we unified the Seven Stars, established the Starfire Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, and the Seven Star Alliance.¡±


    Fang Hai and Li Yuan, both felt their blood boiling.


    True God? Even the Myriad Demons Civilization currently lacked a True God.


    Even though Li Yuan, favored by Qiu Bingzun and Gu You, that was all in the future.


    Now, his True Intent Comprehension was not even at the Semi-Divine level, let alone the distant True God.


    But both Li Yuan and Fang Hai felt the responsibility they bore.


    Passing on the torch, from the first generation Prime Warriors, to the first generation Flying Heaven Warriors, then to Lant Semi-Divine, Dongfang Ji.


    Now, it was needed for their generation to stand up.


    The strength of a civilization was never dependent on one person but required generations of strong warriors to step forward.


    Until one day, the Seven Star Civilization stands at the very peak of the Dimensional Domain!


    ¡­ As time passed, Li Yuan continued to interact with Fang Hai and Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, the blood flame of the Wan Mo Civilization, have all been controlled by your soul?¡± Fang Hai listened, shocked. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A trace of astonishment flashed in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, this was something he had decided to reveal after much thought.


    Some matters, kept hidden, served no purpose.


    Like Blood Flame, requiring the intelligence network of the Seven Star Civilization to contact to fully leverage its effects.


    ¡°No wonder you said you were absolutely certain about ending the war in Ming Xu Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°You have done well, your war plans are excellent, too.¡±


    ¡°As for Blood Flame, I will arrange for undercover contacts to establish a stable connection,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°After the war ends, I will have San Ye Semi-Divine comprehensively tally your contributions.¡±


    ¡°Hm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, not particularly concerned now.


    His gains in the Ming Xu Star Realm were significant enough, the wealth of most Semi-Divines in his civilization couldn¡¯t compare to his own.


    Unless he broke through to Flying Heaven Level, his need for external things was minimal now.


    ¡°When are you planning your breakthrough?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    Fang Hai also looked towards Li Yuan, smiling, ¡°Li Yuan, I will likely become a Semi-Divine soon. When you break through to Flying Heaven Level, I¡¯m prepared to appoint you as the Grand Hall Master of the Starfire Blue Star Main Hall.¡±


    ¡°Grand Hall Master of Blue Star?¡± Li Yuan was momentarily taken aback.


    That was one of the most powerful figures in the entire Blue Star.


    ¡°If your principal can do it at Flying Heaven Level, why can¡¯t you?¡± Dongfang Ji offered a light smile.


    ¡°Maestro, principal,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I currently am at Six Star Pulse. I plan to reach Seven Star Veins before my breakthrough.¡±


    Li Yuan dared not mention Eight Star Veins.


    It was too exaggerated and hard to explain; Seven Star Veins was sufficient.

    ¡°Seven Star Veins?¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°That¡¯s acceptable. You are still young. You can continue to accumulate and lay a good foundation. There¡¯s no rush to reach the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Veins?¡± Fang Hai sighed.


    He had reached the Flying Heaven Level a long time ago, and it had cost him a great deal of energy to achieve the Seven Star Veins.


    Compared to him, Li Yuan had progressed much faster.


    ¡°Furthermore, once I increase my strength further, I want to sweep through the Second Level Star Realms.¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°Sweep through the Second Level Star Realms?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes flashed with a strange color.


    ¡°Good ambition,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°but it¡¯s not as easy as you think. Some Second Level Star Realms are home to Demigods.¡±


    ¡°Demigods?¡± Li Yuan widened his eyes.


    That¡¯s insane?


    Even with his confidence, Li Yuan didn¡¯t believe that he, as a Prime Warrior, could contend with a Demigod.


    Not even if his True Intent Comprehension stepped into the Threshold of the Law would it suffice.


    The fundamental gap was too large.


    ¡°The so-called levels of Star Realms are just the grade of their entry points, and have nothing to do with the inherent strength of the Star Realms themselves,¡± Dongfang Ji explained patiently. ¡°A few Second Level Star Realms have strong indigenous lifeforms, or Flying Heaven Warriors stationed there who have broken through¡­ Of course, if your strength advances further, you indeed have the potential to sweep through most Second Level Star Realms.¡±


    ¡°But it¡¯s not necessary,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head.


    ¡°Why not?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°In doing so, you won¡¯t foster allies within, nor invincible challengers from outside, leading ultimately to decay,¡± Dongfang Ji stated. ¡°There are a few Second Level Star Realms with substantial threats that indeed need to be eradicated, like the Rob Sea Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°But for the most part, these realms serve as a proving ground for many civilizations and ordinary Martial Artists, where although there are some casualties, it is the price paid for the emergence of powerful warriors.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s no danger at all¡­¡±


    ¡°How can the next generation of warriors grow?¡± Dongfang Ji smiled.


    Li Yuan understood.


    ¡°Before you break through to the Flying Heaven Warrior, tell me, and I will give you a list of Second Level Star Realms that need cleaning up,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll follow the Hierarch¡¯s arrangement,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Soon, Fang Hai left first.


    Only Li Yuan and Dongfang Ji were left in the palace.


    ¡°Li Yuan, three last things,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at him.


    ¡°First, your authority in the Martial Hall is elevated to that of a Flying Heaven Star Lord, which will give you access to more data and resources of the Martial Hall,¡± Dongfang Ji continued. ¡°Second, have you studied the ¡®Thousand Illusions Formation Map¡¯ I gave you last time?¡±


    ¡°I have,¡± Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.


    ¡°When you comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map and reach the Flying Heaven Level, that is when you should set out for the Nine Leaves World,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan immediately understood why, when it had been given to him, he was told to report back upon comprehension.


    Now, the Thousand Illusions Formation Map seemed to be related to the Nine Leaves World.


    ¡°The third matter,¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°the Earth System Divine Being Inheritance you received should contain a latent power, right?¡±


    ¡°Latent power?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°It seems you¡¯re not very aware, but this power originates from Jiangnan Province in Blue Star. Once you return to Blue Star, go and tell them not to try to infiltrate the mainframe of Blue Star anymore,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°I should be correct, right?¡±


    Boom!


    Jiangnan Province? Li Yuan¡¯s mind reeled as he pieced together Dongfang Ji¡¯s words and guessed who it might be.


    Gu You?


    ¡°Yes, Hierarch, I understand,¡± Li Yuan replied. ¡°When I return, I will keep them restrained.¡±


    ¡°Good, the inheritance you¡¯ve received is yours to command,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°I¡¯m just warning you that these Alien God inheritances are sometimes a double-edged sword¡­ manage it well.¡±


    ¡°If you feel you can¡¯t control it¡­ come to me, and I¡¯ll take care of it,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s confident voice reassured.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    In the crimson palace, Dongfang Ji watched Li Yuan leave.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t we going to tell them the truth?¡± a deep voice asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s not yet time,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said. ¡°When they make it through the Seventh Mountain on their own strength, they will naturally understand¡­ the path of cultivation must be trodden by themselves.¡±


    ¡°Mm-hmm,¡± the deep voice replied. ¡°Master, when will we venture to the Ninth Mountain?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for Fang Hai to break through. Once I enter the Ninth Mountain, it¡¯s hard to say when I could return.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, in the chamber of the warship.


    Clang~


    Li Yuan emerged from the Virtual Network Cabin, his eyes filled with astonishment.


    ¡°Hierarch!¡±


    ¡°How powerful must one be to even track Gu You¡¯s movements?¡± Li Yuan marveled silently. ¡°And what exactly did Gu You do while I wasn¡¯t here?¡±


    Li Yuan found Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words, ¡°To gain what you want, you must be prepared to give,¡± deeply resonant.


    Everyone thinks differently and isn¡¯t entirely under one¡¯s control.


    True God Heritage? It seemed not all benefits were straightforward.


    With that thought,


    ¡°Myriad Scales,¡± Li Yuan directly transmitted to the soul: ¡°How are the preparations?¡±


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°In three more days, we should be able to launch the attack,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor replied through soul transmission.


    With their spiritual power, soul transmission across tens of thousands of miles was effortless.


    ¡­


    ¡°Continue cultivating,¡± Li Yuan calmed his heart and resumed his cultivation in the chamber.


    ¡°After this battle ends,¡±


    ¡°I must find a way to erase the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ Star Technique Star Mark,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Then, I can re-cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein¡¯ with a Perfect Star Vein.¡±


    Once he erased the ¡°Nine Shadows Clone,¡± his strength would naturally diminish.


    But the ¡°True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein¡± was the foundation of cultivation and would boost Li Yuan¡¯s compatibility with the Wind Vein significantly.


    ¡­


    While Li Yuan was in meditation,


    in the vast world of the Myriad Demons Civilization, on a massive planet, a figure in black garment, Xue Yan, slowly descended from the warship.


    ¡°Xue Yan,¡± the black-robed elder Demigod smiled, ¡°the East Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity have both arrived, waiting for you inside the palace. Go ahead.¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Xue Yan nodded, a trace of unease in his heart.


    ¡°The master has planned everything.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control is usually something only divine beings can perform,¡± Xue Yan thought to himself. ¡°East Demon and Bei Yue probably won¡¯t guess¡­ and the master¡¯s Soul Imprint has perfectly merged with my soul, they shouldn¡¯t be able to sense it either.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Xue Yan flew into the distant majestic temple.


    ¡­


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Ming Mountain.


    Numerous massive Flying Heaven Beast Kings hung in the void, nearly three hundred in number, incredibly silent, all gazing towards the distant vacuum where a figure resembled a Fire Kirin.


    Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was emitting a majestic and vast aura, his cold eyes scanning each Flying Heaven Beast King.


    ¡°If we win this battle, the Myriad Scales Beast Clan can continue to thrive securely,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor said coldly. ¡°Therefore, I do not want any Beast King to slack off.¡±


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor,¡± a discordant voice arose as a Green Snake solemnly spoke. ¡°How could we ally with the Seven Star Civilization? Can we trust them? It was the Spirit Gun that carried out massive slaughters against us; if we must ally, it should be with the Tianliang Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Qing Sheng?¡±


    ¡°This is the third time you have opposed me,¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s eyes turned frosty. ¡°For the sake of your father, the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, I didn¡¯t pursue the matter the last two times¡­ but today, you dare to waver in solidarity?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a limit to everything!¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor shook his head.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor moved, streaking across like a blazing red comet, his speed terrifying.


    ¡°I, Beast Emperor, I was wrong¡­¡± Qing Sheng Beast King¡¯s face changed, and he quickly tried to plead for mercy.


    But it was too late.


    ¡°Slash!¡± Blood splattered as the massive body of the Green Snake was torn into two by Myriad Scales Beast Emperor¡¯s sharp claws.


    Qing Sheng Beast King, dead!


    Facing a Level 36 Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, a common Beast King like him had absolutely no power to resist.


    ¡°Anyone else have objections?¡± the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, bathed in blood, imposing, his icy gaze sweeping across.


    All the Flying Heaven Beast Kings lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact.


    ¡°Depart.¡±


    ¡°Target, Tianliang Civilization Base,¡± commanded the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Hundreds of Beast Kings set off mightily.


    ¡­


    One day later.


    Inside a Fourth Rank Battleship at Bright Moon Base, numerous Martial Artists with Flying Heaven Level strength were shocked as they looked at the scene on the screen.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°The Tianliang Civilization Base, destroyed?¡±


    ¡°Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, such formidable strength! Even the main cannon of the Fourth Rank Battleship couldn¡¯t fully lock on him.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s because there were too many Flying Heaven Beast Kings,¡± Tavares, Jiang Zai, Li Yang, Luo Chan, and others were quietly discussing, their voices filled with awe.


    They had not anticipated.


    Unexpectedly, the Mingxu Beast Clan would be attacked by the Tianliang Civilization Base¡­ until it was completely breached.


    The strength of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor was too powerful.


    Eventually, at the cost of losing over fifty Flying Heaven Beast Kings, the Mingxu Beast Clan completely breached the base, and after suffering heavy casualties, the remnants of Tianliang Civilization retreated from the Mingxu Star Realm.


    At this point, the last strategic stronghold of Tianliang Civilization in the Mingxu Star Realm was declared annihilated.


    ¡°Tianliang Civilization has been attacked.¡±


    ¡°Who will be next?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡± These Martial Artists were somewhat panicked.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen,¡± said Li Yuan, standing at the front of the team, ¡°there¡¯s no need to worry about the Mingxu Beast Clan launching an attack on us.¡±


    ¡°I had a confrontation with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor in the Ming Mountain, and it was difficult to determine a winner; ultimately, we came to an agreement.¡±


    ¡°The boundary line will be set at Ming Mountain and the Earth Dragon Gorge, with one side belonging to the Mingxu Beast Clan,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly, ¡°The other side, spanning 20,000 kilometers, will belong to our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°From now on, there will be peace,¡± Li Yuan declared.


    ¡°What? A 20,000-kilometer territory? An agreement with the Spirit Gun and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor?¡±


    ¡°Is this agreement reliable?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor couldn¡¯t handle the Spirit Gun?¡± The martial artists were both shocked and incredulous.


    They knew the Spirit Gun was powerful, having apparently reached the Flying Heaven Peak, but the strength revealed by the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor during the attack on the Tianliang Civilization Base was even more terrifying¡­ With a slight calculation, these martial artists understood that if the Spirit Gun could force the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor into making an agreement, he must have become even more fearsome than six months ago.


    How could they not be shocked?


    After all, the Spirit Gun was still a Prime Warrior, yet his strength could progress so rapidly time after time? What kind of monster was this!


    ¡­


    In the beginning, many Flying Heaven Warriors were skeptical of the Spirit Gun¡¯s statements.


    However, not long after, a Flying Heaven Beast King came as an emissary, which again caused a stir.


    This agreement! Could it be true?


    But still, was it reliable? Many questioned in their hearts.


    ¡­


    Inside a secret chamber of a warship, there were only three people.


    ¡°Tavares, Jiang Zai,¡± Li Yuan, completely enveloped in a black garment, looked at the two men.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡± The two of them were quite respectful.


    Over time, they had grown to admire this mysterious Prime Warrior from their civilization; he was truly terrifying.


    He was much stronger than Yu Jinghe.


    ¡°You two will be the highest commanders here, so I¡¯m telling you the truth,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly: ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor is actually under my control.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor is your servant?¡± Both Tavares and Jiang Zai were shocked.


    They weren¡¯t fools and immediately thought of many possibilities.


    ¡°This so-called agreement.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just to cover up the truth,¡± Li Yuan looked at them and said: ¡°The 20,000-kilometer territory is temporarily sufficient for our Seven Star Civilization to propagate and extract resources¡­ Once your strength progresses further, reaching the Flying Heaven Peak and eventually becoming Semi-Divine, then we can completely eliminate the Mingxu Beast Clan.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor will secretly suppress the proliferation of the Mingxu Beast Clan and step by step cooperate with you,¡± Li Yuan continued: ¡°Also, regarding the information about the Divine Land, once it¡¯s collated, with your access level, you will be able to view it.¡±


    ¡°Eventually, you¡¯ll also be able to enter it and see if you receive the Divine Being Inheritance,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Tavares and Jiang Zai now completely believed the Spirit Gun¡¯s words.


    ¡°By the way,¡± Li Yuan finally said: ¡°Although you reside permanently in the Star Realm, it¡¯s not impossible to leave; actually, besides upgrading the Star Realm, there is another way.¡±


    This was something Li Yuan had found in the data gifted by Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°What way?¡± Both Tavares and Jiang Zai felt a glimmer of hope rise in their hearts.


    ¡°Ascend to God!¡±


    ¡°Once you become divine, you can break the bonds of the Star Realm and enter the Starry Sky Space Rift,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°and regain your freedom.¡±


    ¡­


    After sending off Tavares and Jiang Zai, who were full of thoughts, the Quiet Chamber welcomed its last visitor.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, what is it that you need?¡± Li Yang asked.


    However, Li Yang was very perplexed; as an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior, why had he been summoned?


    Boom! The door of the Quiet Chamber closed.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and he put away his Phantom Spirit Garment, revealing his face, and bowed respectfully: ¡°I was disrespectful before, I hope you can forgive me, teacher.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan? You¡¯re the Spirit Gun?¡± Li Yang widened his eyes, his mind buzzing.


    ¡°My student, the Spirit Gun?¡±

 Chapter 588: 334: Where My Heart Finds Peace! Huge Reward

    Chapter 588: Chapter 334: Where My Heart Finds Peace! Huge Reward


    Li Yang was indeed shocked.


    It should be noted that since the virtual battle on Blue Star ended two years ago, his contact with Li Yuan had become infrequent.


    After hosting Li Yuan¡¯s graduation ceremony at Kunlun Martial University, although both headed to Feixing, they went to different places.


    To put it bluntly, the two hadn¡¯t met for nearly two years, and there hadn¡¯t been much contact in between.


    Li Yang knew that Li Yuan was growing rapidly and was reportedly a member of the Seven Stars Mountain.


    But!! Until just moments ago, he couldn¡¯t believe that the ¡°Spirit Gun,¡± famed throughout the Foreign Civilization as the strongest Prime Warrior in history, was Li Yuan.


    It was absurd.


    How long had Li Yuan been cultivating? How could he possibly achieve the peak battle power of a Flying Heaven-level warrior?


    Yet the truth was right before his eyes.


    ¡°I understand now,¡± Li Yang quickly figured it out, his face still filled with disbelief, ¡°I¡¯ve always wondered why I had never heard of the Spirit Gun before the great battle in the Rob Sea.¡±


    ¡°Why the Spirit Gun never showed his true face¡­ So that¡¯s it.¡± Li Yang shook his head, sighing, ¡°It¡¯s you! No wonder you needed to conceal your identity.¡±


    It didn¡¯t take long for Li Yang to understand.


    Public records stated that the Spirit Gun was over 50 years old and had already shocked various Foreign Civilizations.


    If people knew the Spirit Gun was not yet 21? It would cause an upheaval!


    After figuring everything out, Li Yang shook his head and said, ¡°Li Yuan, what you did was wrong. You being the Spirit Gun must be the highest secret within our civilization, and not many people must know¡­ You really didn¡¯t need to tell me.¡±


    ¡°Given my power and status, I shouldn¡¯t know about this.¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°Now that I know, there¡¯s a risk of a leak.¡±


    Li Yang had always taken pride in mentoring a disciple like ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, but at this moment, his heart was filled with worry¡­ One step beyond the ordinary makes a genius.


    And Li Yuan? He¡¯s gone far beyond the ordinary, and the turmoil he might face in the future is beyond what Li Yang could imagine.


    Subconsciously, Li Yang thought of Wu Manong.


    When Wu Manong died, Li Yang watched helplessly as a peerless genius fell.


    And Li Yuan, he was ten times, a hundred times more monstrous than Wu Manong!


    ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you the truth earlier because there were other considerations,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°But now, the conflict in Ming Xu has concluded, and I am about to leave, not knowing when I might advance to the Flying Heaven level¡­ If I don¡¯t tell you now, there might be even fewer opportunities later.¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After leaving the Ming Xu Star Realm, for safety, Li Yuan would soon head to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Before reaching the Flying Heaven level, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t easily return to the Ming Xu Star Realm; for safety¡¯s sake, there would hardly be a direct reason to meet Li Yang.


    And since Li Yang had reached the Flying Heaven level, he couldn¡¯t leave the Ming Xu Star Realm either.


    ¡°We can always meet in the virtual network,¡± Li Yang shook his head.


    ¡°Virtual is still virtual,¡± Li Yuan looked at Li Yang, ¡°Master has been very kind to his students. If I don¡¯t see you one last time¡­ I won¡¯t be at peace.¡±


    Over the years of cultivation, the only ones in Li Yuan¡¯s heart who were teachers were Xu Bo, Li Yang, and Lie Feng Semi Divine.


    And Xu Bo had passed away, Lie Feng Semi Divine was missing.


    Only Li Yang was left, and he would also be confined in the Ming Xu Star Realm for a long time.


    As for Ancient Torch Divine? Western Goodman Divine? They weren¡¯t truly part of his life, so naturally, there was no emotional connection.


    ¡°You!¡± Li Yang looked helplessly, yet there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.


    ¡°Master.¡± Li Yuan suddenly waved his hand, and two storage treasures flew out of his palm towards Li Yang, ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry coming and going, didn¡¯t prepare any special gifts, and direct transfer could draw unnecessary attention¡­ Consider these items as farewell gifts from your disciple.¡±


    ¡°These?¡± Li Yang was startled, and his divine sense unwittingly swept over them, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes, ¡°So many weapons and treasures? That¡¯s too much!!¡±


    After a brief inquiry, he knew how many treasures these two storage items contained.


    With Li Yang¡¯s vision, a quick estimate made it clear, these were probably worth tens of thousands of points.


    This was an astounding fortune for him, who was just at level 31.


    ¡°Master, you know, these treasures mean little to me,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Please accept them.¡±


    Except for the treasures of Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and Xue Yan, to avoid detection, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t touched them.


    The other, numerous powerful beings he had slain, the treasures they yielded weren¡¯t particularly precious but were abundant in quantity.


    Those left behind by the likes of Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, Rolbis, Fu Yuan¡­ The number of treasures was substantial.


    What he gifted to Li Yang was just a small portion.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°These treasures, most of which don¡¯t suit you, just sell them slowly, sell them occasionally, enough to meet your own cultivation needs,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°If you encounter any problems or needs in your future cultivation, you can message me.¡±


    ¡°As a student, I¡¯ll definitely do my best to help you.¡± Li Yuan earnestly said.


    Eventually, Li Yang accepted them, persuaded by Li Yuan.


    ¡°They say you are my student,¡± Li Yang shook his head and sighed, ¡°But truthfully, you¡¯ve helped me more. The previous Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit¡­ And now, you¡¯re giving me so many treasures, most at the peak of Flying Heaven, probably don¡¯t have this much wealth.¡±


    ¡°In my heart, I¡¯ve always felt guilty,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t had that Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Fruit back then, Master might not have broken through¡­ And probably wouldn¡¯t have been trapped in the Ming Xu Star Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan had indeed thought about this.


    ¡°You are wrong.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, what¡¯s there to feel guilty about?¡± Li Yang couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t come, wouldn¡¯t someone else have? I volunteered for the war in the Ming Xu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Do you remember Fan Jin?¡± Li Yang said sentimentally.


    ¡°Teacher Fan Jin?¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    How could he possibly forget?


    ¡°He died in battle in the Kunlun Star Realm, and I also participated in that urgent operation,¡± a hint of reminiscence flashed in Li Yang¡¯s eyes as he sighed, ¡°Yet I was powerless¡­¡±

    ¡°War always requires someone to step forward, and although I can¡¯t be like you, contributing to Xia Country and the Seven Star Civilization is a fulfillment enough for me,¡± Li Yang said with a laugh as he looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve already received the order, I should be the first principal of the future ¡®Mingxu Martial Arts University.''¡±


    ¡°Principal?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Old Hai always says that it¡¯s time for me to take over.¡±


    ¡°Now, he¡¯s still the dean, yet I¡¯m about to become a principal,¡± Li Yang smiled. ¡°Teaching and nurturing, isn¡¯t it the same everywhere?¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile; he could tell that Li Yang meant his words sincerely.


    ¡°You should be leaving soon.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing else left to teach,¡± Li Yang looked at Li Yuan, ¡°just one piece of advice.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t take too many risks, stay alive, being alive is more important than anything!¡±


    ¡­


    After parting with Li Yang, Li Yang also had a soul communication with the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and gave a final instruction.


    Then, S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    he had already arrived at the entrance to the Mingxu Star Realm, which was under martial law, temporarily preventing anyone from passing through.


    ¡°Liu Bing, prepare to leave the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan transmitted his soul, ¡°Once we enter the Seven Star Civilization, without my command, try to stay in the Heavenly Snake Hall, and do not appear unless I allow it.¡±


    ¡°Okay, big brother,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s crisp voice rang out, ¡°But big brother, my absence is predicated on the fact that it does not threaten your life¡­ If you encounter a life-threatening situation, I¡¯ll definitely intervene.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan did not retort.


    By the time Liu Bing has trained multiple Supreme Star Techniques to the Second Rank Limit¡­ her strength might even surpass his.


    After all, Liu Bing¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was already at the semi-divine level.


    And judging by the growth rate of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, it might not be many years before she can step into the threshold of the Wind Law.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, flying directly through the ripple-covered expanse of the Star Realm Passage.


    Crossing the ripples,


    Li Yuan found himself in another world, also a war base, though the atmosphere was notably different.


    ¡°Xia Country!¡±


    ¡°Home feels really different; the soul itself seems much more at ease,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Not far away awaited a group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Spirit Gun, welcome back,¡± several Flying Heaven Warriors came forward with smiles, even showing some deference.


    So much time had passed.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors were well aware of the terrifying record of achievements Spirit Gun had created in the Ming Xu Star Realm.


    ¡°Senior Yun,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Half a year ago, when he had passed through this war base to go to the Ming Xu Star Realm, it was also these Flying Heaven Warriors who had welcomed him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to call me senior.¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, Spirit Gun, you are much stronger than me,¡± said the warrior surnamed Yun with a smile, ¡°Welcome back victorious. Would you like to sit down for a meal together?¡±


    ¡°No thanks, I have things to do,¡± Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, ¡°Senior Yun, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± the Flying Heaven Warrior surnamed Yun didn¡¯t stop him.


    Whizz!


    Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the open-air passage above the hall.


    ¡°Spirit Gun is really unrestrained.¡±


    ¡°Same as last time, not giving us any face,¡± a Flying Heaven Warrior couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°What status do we have in front of him to give us face? Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself,¡± another countered, ¡°We all owe him.¡±


    ¡°If he hadn¡¯t subdued the Ming Xu Star Realm, I fear our place here would now be the front line of preparations for war.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s just hope he can continue to grow,¡± the warrior surnamed Yun sighed, ¡°The stronger he is, the better it is for the entire civilization, and it benefits all of us.¡±


    ¡°Senior Yun,¡± said Li Yuan coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t waste time. The battle situation is urgent; better open the passage quickly so I can get through.¡±


    ¡­


    Outside it was night.


    Flying away from the war base and into the nearby void, Li Yuan paused, sensing something.


    A speck of ¡®Dust¡¯ floated leisurely through the void, landing on his shoulder.


    It was the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Since Li Yuan had returned to Blue Star, he had been able to sense the presence of the Ancient Divine Palace, and even communicate with Gu You inside it.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking towards the not-so-distant spot.


    In the void invisible to ordinary people, Li Yuan could clearly feel two figures, one black and one white, rapidly approaching.


    After condensing his True Intent, he could distort light during flight, concealing his tracks, making it difficult for ordinary people at a distance to detect him.


    But opponents at the same level can feel the changes in the Power of Heaven and Earth, mere distortion of light is not enough to hide from them.


    Soon,


    ¡°Principal, Senior Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan bowed as a greeting.


    ¡°Well done, you haven¡¯t let us down,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine smiled, ¡°I have already heard the general situation from your principal, I must thank you on behalf of Xia Country.¡±


    ¡°If the Ming Xu Star Realm were occupied by the Seven Star Civilization, I fear that our Xia Country would never have peace,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine reflected.


    ¡°Senior, I too am a person of Xia Country,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Yuan had some guesses in his heart; probably many core secrets of the Seven Star Civilization were unknown to Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡­ Now, it seems the Alliance Hierarch, Lant Semi-Divine, and Principal Fang Hai are likely the core layer.


    Myself? Can only say just touched on some secrets, prepared to be in the core layer.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Ming Xu conflict is resolved, and your meritorious deeds have been approximately estimated,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Your contribution is the greatest, especially regarding the Divine Being Inheritance in the Civilization Mothership, plus the vast resources of the entire Ming Xu Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°It could be said that, if calculated in Seven Stars Points, it might be an astronomical number,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head, ¡°But the treasures of the entire civilization are ultimately finite, and the early contest over the Star Realm drained a lot of resources.¡±


    ¡°Next, in exploring the Ming Xu Star Realm, it will require a massive investment of resources¡­¡±

 Chapter 590: 334 - Where My Heart Is At Peace! Huge Reward_3

    Chapter 590: Chapter 334 ¨C Where My Heart Is At Peace! Huge Reward_3


    ¡°So, after various assessments by multiple demigods,¡±


    ¡°In the end, you were assigned 3 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile to Li Yuan, ¡°Don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little.¡±


    ¡°3 million? That¡¯s a lot,¡± Li Yuan repeatedly said.


    3 million Seven Stars Points, equivalent to 30 Fangshen Crystals¡­ For most demigods, that was absolutely a huge sum.


    Li Yuan truly hadn¡¯t expected the reward to be so high.


    Yes!


    The Alien God inheritances within the Civilization Mothership, the resources of the Mingxu Star Realm¡­ Once unearthed, their value would be incredibly astounding.


    But the key point was, they hadn¡¯t been unearthed yet.


    Over the past few years, the Seven Star Civilization had been continuously pouring investments into the wars involving the Mingxu Star Realm.


    And they hadn¡¯t seen much return yet.


    ¡°Not much,¡± Fang Hai said with a laugh beside him, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little, it¡¯s fine since taking out so many Seven Stars Points must have been after careful evaluation. Just be at ease when accepting it.¡±


    ¡°Those who contribute to the civilization deserve to be rewarded.¡±


    Fang Hai said, ¡°Thus, the whole civilization can operate smoothly; don¡¯t break this rule.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, if you have other gains and don¡¯t care about these Seven Star Points and don¡¯t take them, but what about other Flying Heaven Warriors and demigods? Will they also not take them?¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Over time, it would cause the motivation of many powerful beings to decrease.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded and no longer refused.


    Quickly, Li Yuan received a notification that 3 million Seven Stars Points had already been credited to his account in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    Once he entered the Flying Heaven Level,


    At that time, to cultivate multiple secret techniques, these points would be useful.


    ¡°Okay, Li Yuan, I¡¯ll be leaving first,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine smiled.


    Li Yuan saluted, watching as the other left.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you going straight back to the Martial Divine Star Realm, or what?¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Principal, I want to return to Jiang City for a few days,¡± Li Yuan said in a low voice, ¡°I haven¡¯t been back in a long time, either.¡±


    ¡°To see your family?¡± Fang Hai nodded, ¡°Alright, then I will secretly follow and protect you these next few days, and I won¡¯t interfere with whatever you want to do.¡±


    ¡°Can I reveal my whereabouts?¡± Li Yuan asked in return.


    If he couldn¡¯t reveal them, then he would meet his family privately.


    People like Wan Qinghe would be inconvenient to meet.


    ¡°Just keep a low profile,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°As long as no demigods personally come, you¡¯re safe on Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°As Li Yuan, the Alien Race probably won¡¯t send a demigod,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai transformed into two streaks of flowing light flying in the void.


    Along the way, they looked down at the land below.


    At the moment, it was 5 in the morning, and there was a slight glow at the edge of the sky.


    And along the way, passing through bustling towns of Xia Country, Jiangnan Province, and other provinces, most lights were bright, with the vast majority of people still sleeping.


    But on many streets, numerous vendors had already begun their work for the new day.


    Time passed, and after six o¡¯clock,


    With Li Yuan¡¯s vision, he could see that, in some towns¡¯ schools, many students had already started their morning exercises¡­ full of vigor.


    These scenes made Li Yuan think back to himself several years ago.


    ¡°Numerous demigods defending locations in the Seven Stars.¡±


    ¡°Countless Flying Heaven Warriors, Prime Warriors venturing into the star realms, seizing resources¡­ Everything, isn¡¯t it just for this scene?¡± Li Yuan silently pondered.


    At this moment, his resolve grew even stronger.


    He would forever guard this land, protect this planet, and continue in peace.


    ¡­


    Several hours later, as daylight broke, Li Yuan and Fang Hai had entered Jiangbei Province.


    ¡°Jiangbei Province is known for its many lakes,¡± Fang Hai remarked.


    ¡°The Province of Thousand Lakes,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s why every summer, the floods are also severe.¡±


    ¡°Every advantage has its disadvantage,¡± Fang Hai laughed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    ¡°Jiang City, we¡¯re almost there,¡± Fang Hai pointed towards the distant city, now vaguely visible, and said, ¡°Go on, I¡¯ll be always guarding in the void.¡±


    ¡°My battleship has arrived.¡±


    Whoosh~ Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A massive battleship from the distant void approached, the hatch opened, and Fang Hai directly entered the battleship.


    Subsequently, the surface of the battleship burst into light and almost completely vanished.


    A truly invisible battleship.


    ¡°Fourth Rank Battleship?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Later, I might also swap one to play with?¡±


    A Fourth Rank Battleship, one requires 100,000 Seven Stars Points to exchange, and it also requires at least the authority of the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Of course,


    Such a high price, most Flying Heaven Warriors simply couldn¡¯t afford it; it was mostly demigods who went to exchange.


    And Li Yuan, both authority and points were sufficient.


    ¡°Exchanging as Li Yuan might raise suspicions,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan flew across several lakes, and not long after, Starfire South Lake Community was already visible in the distance.


    ¡­


    Inside Li Yuan¡¯s family villa, today was destined to be exceptionally lively.


    ¡°Brother!¡±


    ¡°Big brother,¡± two excited voices rang out, both rushing towards Li Yuan, filled with excitement.


    ¡°Qianqian, Muhua,¡± Li Yuan also showed a smile, having not seen his younger siblings for several years, they had both grown up.


    They say a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and adulthood, Li Qianqian turned out graceful and elegant, quite similar to his youthful aunt.


    Li Muhua, however, resembled Li Yuan somewhat, just a bit broader and more robust.


    Both of them were about to enter their final year of high school.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan,¡± Chen Hui called out.


    ¡°Aunt, Uncle,¡± Li Yuan also walked forward swiftly.


    Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help but pat Li Yuan, examining him, seemingly worried that Li Yuan had lost weight.


    ¡°It¡¯s good you¡¯re back safely,¡± Li Changzhou smiled and said, ¡°Come on, your aunt started early this morning and made a table full of delicious food, just waiting for you to return.¡±


    ¡°Good, I haven¡¯t eaten Aunt¡¯s cooking in a long time,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    After more than a year, the family was reunited.

    ¡­


    Jiang City City Martial Hall, twelfth floor.


    ¡°The ¡®Flying Heaven Level¡¯ from the Starfire Martial Hall?¡±


    ¡°Passed through the city¡¯s air defense system?¡±


    ¡°Already entered Guan Mountain District?¡± Fei Qian looked at the report in his hand, filled with surprise.


    Someone like Li Yuan, flying in, would be detected by the city¡¯s air defense system.


    But once identified, they would be granted direct passage.


    At the same time, the relevant information would also be reported to the likes of Jiang City military, Starfire Martial Hall, government, and so on¡ªall would receive the notification.


    ¡°Who is it? How come I¡¯m not aware?¡± Fei Qian pondered, attempting to query.


    The result actually showed ¡®the other party¡¯s confidentiality level is too high to inquire¡¯.


    This took Fei Qian by even greater surprise.


    Normally speaking, given his strength and status, he was at least entitled to know about ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors coming in.


    ¡°Could it be, a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior from one of those days?¡± Fei Qian thought to himself, ¡°Jiang City, after all, hasn¡¯t produced many Flying Heaven Peak Warriors.¡±


    ¡°Could it be Lin Yue has come back? But he¡¯s stationed at Rob Sea, he shouldn¡¯t come back all of a sudden.¡± Fei Qian pondered.


    He knew all the distinguished people who had emerged from Jiang City like the back of his hand.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Knock knock knock~¡± Someone knocked on the door.


    ¡°Master, Vice Hall Master Wan Qinghe is here to visit.¡± The voice of the auxiliary intelligence sounded.


    ¡°Qinghe?¡± Fei Qian muttered to himself, then said, ¡°Please, come in.¡±


    The door opened.


    Wan Qinghe, dressed in green, walked in, directly closed the door, stepped forward, and greeted, ¡°Elder Fei.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why so cautious?¡± Fei Qian straightened himself.


    ¡°Li Yuan just came back and would like to invite you and me to dine.¡± Wan Qinghe said softly.


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Fei Qian was initially startled, then as if realizing something, he looked at the report in his hands.


    Guan Mountain District!!


    Just came back?


    It matches!!


    ¡°Unable to inquire? If it really is him, does it mean Li Yuan¡¯s status now rivals that of a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior?¡± Fei Qian was shocked.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wan Qinghe asked, puzzled, ¡°Elder Fei, won¡¯t you go?¡±


    ¡°Go! Of course, I must go.¡± Fei Qian smiled, ¡°Who else did he invite?¡±


    ¡°No one else.¡±


    ¡°Just the two of us,¡± Wan Qinghe laughed, ¡°Next year, we go to his home.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Fei Qian¡¯s smile grew even wider.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    After returning to Jiang City, Li Yuan spent time with his family and also met with some old acquaintances in secret.


    People like Fei Qian, Wan Qinghe from the Martial Hall, and his high school teachers such as Teacher Chen, and Principal Tan Zhenlong, were all visited individually by Li Yuan, who showed his courtesy.


    Three days later, inside a villa at South Lake Starfire Martial Hall.


    ¡°Uncle.¡±


    ¡°Starting this month, I will instruct Starfire Martial Hall to deliver Spiritual Liquid on time every month.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°You and auntie must take it regularly and try to cultivate as much as possible.¡±


    ¡°For auntie, occasionally urge her to train her body as well to maximize the effects of the Spiritual Liquid.¡±


    ¡°After a long time.¡±


    ¡°It should be enough to bring your Physical Quality up to Level 19.¡± Li Yuan looked at Li Changzhou.


    ¡°Fine.¡± Li Changzhou could not refuse anymore.


    Through their recent interactions, he had vaguely sensed that his nephew had undergone earth-shattering changes.


    Those exotic treasures worth hundreds of millions of Blue Star Coins were acquired with a wave of his hand.


    ¡°It just so happens that I dreamed of becoming a Foundation Establishing Warrior when I was younger.¡± Li Changzhou laughed, ¡°I thought I was too old to have a chance, but with your treasures, perhaps I could give it a try.¡±


    ¡°Just right.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    To reach Level 20, one¡¯s skills must reach the Fourth Level.


    This cannot be achieved simply by external means.


    Thus, the Spiritual Liquid for which Li Yuan spent dozens of points could only ensure that his uncle and auntie¡¯s Physical Quality would eventually reach Level 19.


    The well-being of his family was Li Yuan¡¯s greatest wish.


    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ve already spoken with Hall Master Fei.¡±


    ¡°The Martial Hall will take Li Muhua¡¯s training even more seriously and will continuously arrange for Prime Warriors to teach him, striving for him to get into Starfire University. If not, he should still be able to enter Kunlun Martial University.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Muhua had quite decent talent and had been focusing on the Martial Path all along.


    Li Qianqian was far behind; she had chosen to pursue a cultural path, which Li Yuan did not interfere with.


    His sister¡¯s talents and temperament meant she was not suited for the Martial Path; rather than forcing her¡­ it was better to go along with her wishes.


    ¡°Uncle, about Xu Ling, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to trouble you to check on him occasionally, as I have arranged a cultivation plan at Starfire Martial Hall for him, but I really don¡¯t have the time to interact with him much more.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Xu Ling, as Xu Bo¡¯s direct descendant, Li Yuan always remembered his teacher¡¯s last wishes.


    He treated Xu Ling and Li Muhua the same.


    ¡°Yes, I will.¡± Li Changzhou nodded, ¡°He and Muhua also get along well.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled, with his uncle around, there was no need for him to worry too much about home.


    ¡­


    After saying goodbye to his family.


    Li Yuan did not rush to leave Jiang City, instead, he concealed his aura, traveled through the void, and arrived at the southernmost tip of Guan Mountain District ¨C a special cemetery ¨C the Heroes¡¯ Mausoleum.


    Those buried here were all the heroes who had made great sacrifices to protect their home and country in the history of Jiang City.


    Huh!


    Li Yuan twisted the surrounding light so as not to disturb others, gently landing in front of a gravestone. There were fresh flowers in front of the tombstone, indicating it was frequently visited.


    ¡°Teacher.¡± Li Yuan waved, and several bottles of liquor appeared out of thin air, gently falling down.


    Only later did Li Yuan find out from Tan Zhenlong that Xu Bo had a great love for fine liquor.


    But since returning injured back in the day, he seldom drank to suppress his condition.


    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance in the future.¡±


    ¡°I will definitely bring all the fine liquor I can find in this world as a tribute to my teacher.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, pouring out the liquor bottle by bottle.


    Finally, he bowed respectfully.


    And took off into the sky.


    ¡­


    High in the sky, Fang Hai had been waiting for a long time, a warship floating next to him.


    ¡°Principal, thank you for your help.¡± Li Yuan said.


    In the past few days, Fang Hai had been keeping watch around him.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ve been cultivating there anyway.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°The one you just paid tribute to, is that the high school teacher mentioned in the records?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Fang Hai patted Li Yuan on the shoulder, not asking further, he sighed, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two of them entered the warship.


    ¡­


    The journey was uneventful.


    Half a day later, Fang Hai delivered Li Yuan to the War Base just outside the Martial Divine Star Realm before turning back.


    In recent years, Fang Hai had mostly been stationed in the Kunlun Star Realm, seldom leaving for long.


    Huh!


    As soon as Li Yuan crossed the Star Realm Passage, arriving inside the Star Realm, he sensed many life forces on a huge platform.


    Among them, one aura was very familiar.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    A figure in a pale red robe was waiting not far away, smiling, ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    Li Yuan also showed a smile.

 Chapter 592: 335: Three Years Later in the Blink of an Eye

    Chapter 592: Chapter 335: Three Years Later in the Blink of an Eye


    ¡°Lanyue.¡±


    Li Yuan took the initiative to meet her, smiling as he said, ¡°What brings you here?¡±


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you supposed to arrive in the Martial Divine Star Realm around ten o¡¯clock?¡± Clad in red, Lin Lanyue revealed a smile, ¡°So I thought I¡¯d come here to wait for you.¡±


    ¡°There was no need to do that ¡ª as soon as I returned, I naturally would have¡­¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°It¡¯s not the same,¡± Lin Lanyue interrupted Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan paused, his spiritual power was now so formidable that he could naturally sense the slight emotional change in Lin Lanyue.


    ¡°Li Yuan, let¡¯s head back first,¡± Lin Lanyue spoke softly: ¡°There are too many people here.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded, his gaze briefly sweeping over the distance.


    Many Prime Warriors stationed at the Star Realm Passage couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    Although the Prime Warriors here were certainly trusted immensely, it was best to be cautious in all matters.


    ¡°Take my vehicle,¡± Lin Lanyue said.


    ¡°I will take you back,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    He didn¡¯t wait for Lin Lanyue to refuse.


    With just a thought from Li Yuan, an invisible force already enveloped Lin Lanyue, and together they flew towards the end of the earth ¡ª towards the Martial Divine Hall and Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡­High above, the wind howled ferociously.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t even wait for my agreement,¡± Lin Lanyue said helplessly, feeling the invisible force around her.


    ¡°It¡¯s faster this way,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two of them flew at high speed.


    ¡°The conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm has ended, I¡¯ve heard,¡± Lin Lanyue asked: ¡°What¡¯s next? Are you going out again?¡±


    Earlier at the Star Realm entrance, with so many people and eyes around, she had refrained from asking.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be going out for a while,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°In the next few years, before I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, I should mostly be staying in the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    The Martial Divine Star Realm was safe enough to ensure that no Semi Divine Level beings of the Alien Race would invade.


    ¡°Mhm mhm.¡± Lin Lanyue grinned.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan spoke with a hint of apology in his voice: ¡°Lanyue, I¡¯ve made you worry these past few months.¡±


    If not for San Ye Semi Divine urging Lin Lanyue to call him and hinting to her that he was the Spirit Gun,


    she wouldn¡¯t have been worried all this time.


    Hearing this, Lin Lanyue was momentarily stunned, her eyes brimming with a touch of radiance: ¡°It¡¯s fine, as long as you have returned safely.¡±


    Lin Lanyue¡¯s feelings for Li Yuan were quite complex.


    In high school, they were in different classes and always maintained a healthy competition; later, as Li Yuan¡¯s advancement quickened and considering her unique upbringing, Lin Lanyue found much resonance with him, and she could feel the effort behind Li Yuan¡¯s growth.


    At that time, she greatly admired Li Yuan.


    Therefore, she had helped Li Yuan many times, and even pleaded with her uncle and brother to assist when Li Changzhou was injured. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At that time, she harbored a hint of affection for him.


    Later, as they entered different universities and their interactions dwindled, Lin Lanyue kept her feelings to herself, unexpressed, because her primary pursuit was to prove to the Blazing Flame Family that her mother¡¯s choice was correct and to rescue her mother.


    It wasn¡¯t until her ordeal within the World within Worlds when, after many hardships, she managed to gain recognition from the Fire System Divine¡­ Li Yuan came to her rescue.


    At the time, Lin Lanyue was overwhelmed with joy and excitement because she felt¡­ Li Yuan cared for her.


    In the World within Worlds, she faced the test of the Fire System Divine so quickly, partly because she wanted to head to the Martial Divine Star Realm sooner.


    Then, later on.


    Li Yuan¡¯s growth became increasingly rapid and brilliant, and when Lin Lanyue learned he was the Spirit Gun, she was shocked and happy for Li Yuan¡­ Until the recent conflict within the Mingxu Star Realm, where the news of Li Yuan¡¯s death had left her heartbroken.


    Even with some self-blame, Lin Lanyue thought that if she had not gone to the Fierce Feather Star Realm to send a message to Li Yuan, maybe he would not have died.


    Until a few days ago.


    When she received Li Yuan¡¯s communication and learned he was still alive, her excitement was unimaginable.


    ¡°I saw your message,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°You¡¯ve achieved Fifth Stage Perfection in your skills so quickly, you must be the fastest cultivator in the Martial Divine Star Realm outside of myself these past two years.¡±


    ¡°Alicia¡¯s breakthrough was a bit faster than mine,¡± Lin Lanyue said.


    ¡°She¡¯s two years older than us,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°Moreover, when she was at Fifth Stage Skill, you were only at Fourth Stage High Rank.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Lin Lanyue smiled helplessly: ¡°You know better than anyone that my progress is so fast because my bloodline power plays a big part.¡±


    ¡°There are many in the Blazing Flame Family who have awakened their bloodlines, yet why are you the only one to achieve success?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°Don¡¯t sell yourself short.¡±


    ¡°By the way.¡±


    ¡°In a few years, once you¡¯ve condensed the True Meaning of Fire, you could try going to the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan suggested: ¡°You could see if you can attain the inheritance of the Fire System Alien God.¡±


    ¡°Fire System Alien God?¡± Lin Lanyue was puzzled.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you about the Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Lanyue nodded vigorously.


    She was curious about Li Yuan¡¯s experiences and added, ¡°I hope it doesn¡¯t involve any secrets.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re at the Flying Heaven Peak level now, what I¡¯m telling you is within your rights to know,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Time passed.


    The two soared across the Vast Sky, one speaking, the other listening.


    Listening to Li Yuan recount his struggles with the Beast King and Beast Emperor, his adventures on the Civilization Mothership,


    Lin Lanyue came to know what Li Yuan had been through and understood the immense contributions he had made for their entire civilization.


    After a long while.


    ¡°We¡¯re at my residence,¡± Lin Lanyue looked down at the continuous palatial estates below, ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ll go down first, see you later.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Whoosh!


    Lin Lanyue leaped and gracefully descended dozens of meters, landing lightly in front of the mansion, turned back to nod at Li Yuan, and then Li Yuan soared into the sky, flying towards Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Seven Star Mountain?¡±


    ¡°I will also ascend Seven Star Mountain come July this year,¡± Lin Lanyue pledged silently in her heart.

    Chapter 593: Chapter 335: Three Years Later_2


    ¡­


    He returned to his long-missed dwelling in Seven Star Mountain.


    It was deathly silent, not a soul in sight.


    Apart from Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan had not yet told any other friends from Seven Star Mountain of his return.


    He went straight to the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°All matters at home are settled.¡±


    ¡°I am at peace,¡± Li Yuan silently recited, ¡°it¡¯s time to continue working hard on my cultivation.¡±


    Li Yuan knew that his talents and strength meant he would never be an ordinary person who could enjoy happy times with his family.


    When the sky falls, the tall ones must hold it up.


    To the Seven Star Civilization, he was the future tall one.


    ¡°Work hard!¡± S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Stay focused! Do not slack off!¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The first thing to do is to sell all the useless items obtained from slaying other strong beings and exchange them for Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°The second is to buy treasures and remove the ¡®Star Technique Star Marks¡¯ from ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ and then re-cultivate ¡®True Solution of Heaven Wind Star Meridian.''¡±


    ¡°Then.¡±


    ¡°I will work hard to pursue the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°The day I reach the Eight Star Veins will be the time I sweep through many Second Level Star Realms and achieve Flying Heaven.¡±


    Buzz~


    With a thought, Li Yuan disappeared from the chamber, entering the Cave Heaven Treasure, ¡®Ancient Divine Palace.¡¯


    Only two grains of dust hung in the void.


    ¡°Huh? Where is Big Brother?¡± Liu Bing, who controlled the Heavenly Snake Hall, immediately felt her connection with Li Yuan weaken drastically, as if he had reached another space.


    She was shocked and tried to sense the outside world with her Divine Sense, but could find no trace of him.


    Shocked, she immediately thought of rushing out of the Heavenly Snake Hall to the outside world.


    ¡°Little Bing, don¡¯t panic,¡± a gentle voice spoke, it was Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°Li Yuan entered another Cave Heaven Treasure, which seems to be a treasure he owns¡­ Your big brother¡¯s background is deeper than you think,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed.


    ¡°Another Cave Heaven Treasure?¡± Liu Bing was even more surprised but felt slightly relieved, ¡°The deeper Big Brother¡¯s background, the happier I am.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Continue your cultivation, and try not to let your big brother outdo you.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, the vast, ancient main hall.


    Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere and immediately saw a girl in a white dress with bare little feet not far away: ¡°Sister.¡±


    ¡°You finally decided to come in.¡± Gu You said with a smiling face, ¡°The harvest from your journey to the Star Realm seems substantial, even bringing out another Cave Heaven Treasure, which just now extended a force, trying to probe me.¡±


    ¡°But, the Ancient Divine Palace is not so easily disturbed,¡± Gu You said, ¡°That power was not very strong.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Snake Hall?¡± A glint passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes; this was within his expectations.


    He couldn¡¯t fully control the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    In fact, Li Yuan guessed that Qiu Bingzun might have hidden some forces within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    Just like Ancient Torch Divine might leave some forces within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°That¡¯s another Spirit Beast I collected,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°related to the secrets of Ming Xu Star Realm¡­¡±


    As time passed, Li Yuan roughly narrated his experiences in the Ming Xu Star Realm to Gu You.


    Li Yuan still trusted Gu You considerably.


    At least, compared to Qiu Bingzun, Gu You was more trustworthy.


    Of course, things Li Yuan talked about, like Qiu Bingzun, Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, involving oaths of Law, couldn¡¯t be directly mentioned.


    ¡°Law oath? I understand,¡±


    ¡°True God Heritage is not easy to obtain, each True God is a top-tier powerhouse in your Dimensional Domain,¡± Gu You nodded, ¡°But no matter, since that Cave Heaven Treasure belongs to your Spirit Beast and you have established a blood pact, she should be trustworthy and will eventually make a move¡­ I will naturally observe secretly and analyze.¡±


    ¡°Whether you speak or not, it doesn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Instantly, Li Yuan changed the subject, ¡°Sis, did you secretly deploy forces to infiltrate the virtual network of Blue Star?¡±


    ¡°You knew?¡± Surprise flickered in Gu You¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°It was the Alliance Hierarch who told me,¡± Li Yuan quickly told her everything.


    He also mentioned a little about the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°What a Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°Truly formidable! No wonder I felt hidden powers while inquiring into Blue Star, considering your words, it must be a planetary defense system,¡± Gu You spoke somberly.


    ¡°Civilization defense system?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°It¡¯s a technological method that can protect the entire planet; looking at it now, Blue Star¡¯s defense system is at least Fourth Rank, capable of resisting ninety-nine percent of demigods, and in terms of resource inquiry and anti-spying among many other aspects, it¡¯s quite astonishing,¡± the girl said, ¡°Blue Star¡¯s virtual network host¡­ must be Sixth Rank, otherwise, it couldn¡¯t block my inquiry.¡±


    ¡°Impressive!¡±


    ¡°Your civilization¡¯s depth is stronger than I thought.¡±


    ¡°Back in the day, only a few important planets in father¡¯s territory could reach this level of defense system,¡± the girl marvelled.


    Li Yuan listened in astonishment.


    Does Blue Star really have such a defense system?


    But previously, why had he never heard of it? When Blue Star faced minor invasions, why didn¡¯t the defense system come into play?


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan recalled what the Alliance Hierarch had said, ¡°A sense of crisis is necessary for the advancement of the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, without demigod-level invasions causing massive casualties, even if there truly is a planetary defense system, it may not act,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally, ¡°Alliance Hierarch, how many secrets are you still hiding?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Since your Alliance Hierarch is so competent, I will withdraw many of the forces I dispatched,¡± Gu You smiled.


    ¡°Sis.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°In the future, if you have similar actions, could you let me know first?¡±

 Chapter 594: 335: Three Years Later_3

    Chapter 594: Chapter 335: Three Years Later_3


    Li Yuan¡¯s voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Alright.¡± Gu You revealed a smile, ¡°Actually, I just wanted to find out the details of your civilization to prepare for the future, since one can never be too cautious.¡±


    ¡°But now it seems that your civilization is very strong and values you highly¡­ It is I who have been too cautious.¡± Gu You said, ¡°Your strength is also growing ever stronger. From now on, I will seek your opinion.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan responded. He wouldn¡¯t demand too much from Gu You.


    ¡°Brother.¡±


    ¡°You just said that your civilization is very close to the ¡®Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡¯ on the outskirts of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°This is your opportunity, you must seize it.¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Since you already know many secrets, I will not hide from you that my father descended to this Dimensional Domain from the Divine Realm indeed for the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ but ultimately he failed.¡±


    ¡°The Battle of the Gods, my father was defeated by other deities and thus died.¡± Gu You shook his head, ¡°Last time, Xiao Huo sensed that the ¡®Chi Yan Deity¡¯ from the Immortal Ruins Civilization had severely wounded the True Phoenix.¡±


    ¡°I will not hide from you now, among those who besieged my father, there were two native True Gods, but I don¡¯t know if they belong to the True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was secretly shocked.


    Two native True Gods?


    ¡°Our Dimensional Domain has native True Gods?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°There should be.¡±


    ¡°In a Dimensional Domain, vast and expansive, even if there are only a few hundred God Level Civilizations¡­ it¡¯s quite normal for True Gods to be born over the long years.¡± Gu You said, ¡°Like the enemies of your Seven Star Civilization¡ª the Myriad Demons Civilization, haven¡¯t they produced True Gods in their history?¡±


    ¡°Right.¡± Li Yuan nodded, also feeling the pressure.


    Although the entire Dimensional Domain is far less than the Divine Realm, he has also received the heritage of two True Gods¡­ but just the enemies within the Dimensional Domain are already quite formidable.


    A Demigod only dominates within a civilization.


    A Pseudo-God is a local overlord.


    A True God is the dominating existence in the Dimensional Domain.


    ¡°However, your talent is extremely high, and if you awaken the Eight Star Veins as you said, it may be unprecedented in the Dimensional Domain for millions of years.¡±


    Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°You are also a native being, favored by the origin of this Dimensional Domain, the hope of unlocking the secrets of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the future is much greater than my father¡¯s.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, his heart still full of ambition.


    Time passed, and after a long conversation with Gu You, Li Yuan received much guidance and left the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    In the Martial Divine Star Realm, inside a very special building.


    ¡°Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°These many weapons and treasures, our Seven Stars Treasury can offer the highest price after tax of approximately 126,000 Seven Stars Points.¡± The leading Flying Heaven Level Appraiser said respectfully.


    ¡°Good, it will be 126,000 Seven Stars Points.¡± Duanmu Hong said.


    Immediately, he allowed the other party to take away a large number of ordinary treasures, including over a hundred Storage Treasures.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan walked out from behind the scenes.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you heard as well.¡± Duanmu Hong looked at Li Yuan, ¡°126,000 Seven Stars Points after tax, don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s enough, I appreciate your trouble, Mountain Lord,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    These points treasures were left over from the killing of those ordinary Flying Heavens, alien race geniuses, some of which were given to Teacher Li Yang¡­ Normally, there wouldn¡¯t be so many treasures, but people like Fu Yuan carried treasures almost equal to those at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Plus, they got quite a few treasures from the Six Great Alien Gods.


    In the end, all were to Li Yuan¡¯s benefit.


    If he sold them directly under the identity of ¡®Li Yuan,¡¯ it would attract too much attention, so Li Yuan turned to Duanmu Hong.


    ¡°You got quite a haul in the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± Duanmu Hong mused.


    ¡°It¡¯s decent, thank you Mountain Lord.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. The most valuable treasure he acquired this time was the Deity Visualization Method.


    However, Li Yuan did not plan to sell it just yet.


    Sell it to the Seven Star Civilization? No! It would be most worthwhile to trade it with a Demigod within the civilization when he was strong enough.


    ¡­


    Before long, Li Yuan¡¯s account received 126,000 Seven Stars Points. He then spent over ten thousand points to buy a large number of treasures.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°First, wash away the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ from the Perfect Star Vein.¡± Li Yuan sensed the large number of Exotic Treasures floating around him.


    La la la~


    With his spiritual power in harmony with Origin Power, he operated the ¡°Star Technique Melting Method,¡± starting to absorb the essence contained in the large number of Exotic Treasures, and, following the Method, gradually excavated traces on the Star Vein.


    The process was very painful.


    ¡°Fortunately, I have only cultivated this star technique to the Second Rank Limit.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If I had cultivated to the Fourth Rank Limit, Fifth Rank Limit, and the Star Marks had penetrated the Life Star¡­ the price to dissolve the Star Technique Star Mark would be even greater.¡±


    The stronger the Star Technique, the more troublesome it is to re-cultivate. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Not only does it need many Exotic Treasures for assistance, but it¡¯s also full of danger¡­ If one¡¯s True Intent Comprehension and spiritual power are not strong enough, it might lead to the collapse of the Star Meridian.


    It¡¯s like a building. If you want to demolish it to rebuild, the higher the building, the more difficult the demolition.


    After five whole days.


    ¡°Finally, completely dissolved.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Washing away a Star Technique is more troublesome than cultivating it.¡±


    ¡°But.¡±


    ¡°Now I can cultivate the ¡®True Solution of the Wind Star Vein¡¯.¡± Li Yuan felt a surge of anticipation.


    What kind of might will the top support Star Technique have?


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan directly entered the Ancient Divine Palace and went to the ¡®Divine Crystal Chamber¡¯ to begin cultivation.


    The ¡°True Solution of the Wind Star Vein¡± and the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± were both top support Star Techniques. The first two ranks of cultivation were similar, both requiring a large amount of Divine Crystal Energy.


    The Divine Crystal Chamber could save a lot of resources.


    ¡­


    Half a month later.


    In the Ancient Divine Palace, Hundred Battles Arena.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were dark, and with a thought, wisps of Wind Fluctuations appeared around him, allowing him to easily sense the subtle and special mysteries between heaven and earth.

 Chapter 595: 335: Three Years Later_4

    Chapter 595: Chapter 335: Three Years Later_4


    ¡°`


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Swoosh! In an instant, Li Yuan split into nine, creating nine phantom bodies that interweaved with each other, agile and ghostly, easily evading the siege of several Flying Heaven Level Golden Armored Warriors nearby.


    ¡°Indeed!¡±


    ¡°Although I¡¯m without the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone,''¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°after cultivating the ¡®Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Resolution,¡¯ I¡¯m like Xiaobing, innately compatible with the Wind Law. I can reach the same level of True Intent Comprehension, yet display even stronger combat power.¡±


    The strongest auxiliary Star Technique was not only helpful for Enlightenment but was also a significant advantage in combat.


    ¡°I!¡±


    ¡°First, I must obtain the ¡®Origin of Heavenly Wind¡¯ to transform my body,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now, after cultivating the strongest auxiliary Star Technique¡­ my compatibility with the Wind Law has almost caught up with the Law of Earth.¡±


    By now,


    Li Yuan¡¯s talent in both the Earth and Wind Laws could be considered on par.


    It was destined that his comprehension of the Wind Law would progress at an astonishing speed.


    ¡°However!¡±


    ¡°True Intent cultivation is indeed slow,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If I remain stuck at the Prime Warrior realm, I don¡¯t know if I could deduce both True Intents to the threshold of the Law within ten years.¡±


    The further in cultivation one went, the more difficult it became.


    Especially for Li Yuan, who cultivated two different True Intents. Even if they stimulated each other, it would definitely be slower than if he only focused on one.


    ¡°Unless.¡±


    ¡°My spiritual power reaches the Semi-Divine Level,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    Once spiritual power underwent a transformation, one¡¯s sensitivity to the operation of the heavens and the earth became clearer, and the compatibility with the Laws would naturally surge.


    Many Demigods, who had barely achieved True Intent Perfection after a hundred years of Flying Heaven Level cultivation, could, upon being established as Demigods, often have a chance to touch upon the Threshold of the Law in just decades. This was the reason.


    Body, soul; these were the foundation.


    Improving the foundation would bring all-around progress.


    ¡­


    After successfully cultivating the ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Resolution,¡±


    Li Yuan finally emerged from seclusion and sent out invitations to many friends, including Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, and Alicia, for a gathering at a restaurant.


    ¡°Li Yuan has come out of seclusion.¡±


    ¡°To the banquet.¡± Upon receiving the invitation, nearly all who were not out of the Martial Divine Star Realm attended.


    Li Yuan¡¯s appearance also indirectly dispelled some rumors within the Martial Divine Star Realm. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, Li Yuan¡¯s life returned to tranquility, as he continued his days of concealed cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.


    May 2046, Blue Star.


    At Kunlun Martial University, in the Quiet Cultivation Room of the Fourth Rank Battleship hovering high above, Fang Hai in black clothes was meditating cross-legged.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± Beams of light shot out from all around, illuminating the entire Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Fang Hai opened his eyes with a glint of surprise in them.


    Why would the battleship suddenly lose control without any alert from the auxiliary AI?


    Whoosh~ The light converged, forming a figure shrouded in a white robe, with an indiscernible face.


    ¡°Young Hai.¡± The voice from the white-robed figure was deep.


    ¡°Master Yun.¡± Fang Hai immediately recognized who it was, an assistant to Dongfang Ji.


    This was a secret within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Many Demigods were unaware of the existence of this white-robed figure, but as a direct disciple of Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai knew well.


    Outwardly, San Ye Semi Divine was the grand steward of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    However, Fang Hai knew that this white-robed figure in front of him could be regarded as the grand steward of the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°The ¡®Dragon Spring Tide¡¯ from the Wanhan Star Realm will appear in three days,¡± the white-robed figure spoke deeply. ¡°Are you ready?¡±


    ¡°Dragon Spring Tide?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes brightened, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Master Yun, are you certain?¡±


    ¡°`


    For this day, he had waited a long time.


    He had remained at the Flying Heaven Level for a lengthy period, firstly for the Nine Leaves World in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain and secondly for this great opportunity in the Wanhan Star Realm¡­ but the unexpected breakthrough in spiritual power led him to awaken his Seven Star Veins ahead of time.


    Now, this opportunity in the Wanhan Star Realm could potentially take him even further.


    Eight Star Veins? Fang Hai did not dare to dream.


    But it was hopeful to strengthen the already-awakened seven Star Meridians or even awaken an additional Nine Layers Star Vein.


    ¡°The Mothership Mainframe Deduction.¡± said the figure in the white robe, ¡°And I have collected a massive amount of data¡­ There can be no mistake.¡±


    ¡°The only issue is whether your strength is sufficient or not?¡± the white-robed figure continued, ¡°Within the Wanhan Star Realm, both the Cloud Beast Civilization and Tianliang Civilization have Demigods stationed.¡±


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine can help you restrain one at most.¡±


    The Wanhan Star Realm was crucial¡­ the Seven Star Civilization, Cloud Beast Civilization, and Tianliang Civilization had all left behind numerous Flying Heaven Warriors over the decades, and there had been several ascent to Demigod.


    San Ye Semi Divine was from the Seven Star Civilization.


    While on Blue Star, it was Dantai Lie Demigod who guarded the entry point, ensuring that the Star Realm¡¯s entry point would not be easily breached, from the inside out.


    Defense is easy, attack is hard!


    ¡°Those two Demigods are also merely ordinary Demigods,¡± whispered Fang Hai, ¡°I have about a fifty percent chance of success.¡±


    Had it been before his Star Meridian breakthrough, Fang Hai would have had to take a risk.


    But after awakening his Seven Star Meridians, he had practiced even more powerful Star Techniques, and his overall strength had greatly increased¡­ He now possessed the possibility of defeating a Demigod from a lower tier.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Master has prepared an item for your protection,¡± said the figure in the white robe, ¡°It¡¯s worth 1 million Seven Stars Points. Do you want it? If you do, you¡¯ll have to come get it, but it¡¯s not without cost, it will be put on your account.¡±


    ¡°I have to remind you.¡±


    ¡°You already owe a total of 860,000 Seven Stars Points, and if you add another million Seven Stars Points¡­ the interest is quite high,¡± said the white-robed figure.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it!¡± said Fang Hai without hesitation.


    He also sighed inwardly; his teacher Dongfang Ji was excellent in every respect, the only thing was that he seldom gave treasures directly, nearly all treasures had to be accounted for in Seven Stars Points.


    Fortunately, Dongfang Ji allowed him to incur debt¡­ but with interest!


    And the things Dongfang Ji provided were often exactly what he urgently needed.


    This led to Fang Hai always being quite poor.


    ¡°The more debt, the less worry, teacher just wants to motivate me with this method,¡± Fang Hai saw through it clearly, ¡°As long as I can succeed this time and become a Demigod¡­ these Seven Stars Points won¡¯t amount to much.¡±


    He had many treasures on him, all of immense value, but they were essential to him and couldn¡¯t be exchanged for Seven Stars Points.


    Merely an hour later, Fang Hai left Kunlun Martial University.


    At the same time.


    Two pieces of news quickly spread: ¡°The President of Kunlun Martial University has stepped down.¡±


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master of Starfire Blue Star has stepped down.¡±


    The former news did not attract much attention, but the latter was absolutely explosive, rapidly spreading through the entire upper echelons of Blue Star and even many powerful beings on other planets were quickly made aware.


    ¡­


    Upon learning of Fang Hai¡¯s resignation, Li Yuan, who was far away in the Martial Divine Star Realm, also quickly got the news, but he did not pay much attention.


    After all, Fang Hai had already said he was close to becoming a Demigod.


    In July 2046, during the new Battle of Seven Stars, Alicia and Lin Lanyue both won seven battles and ascended Seven Star Mountain.


    In August 2046, the news that Lude Nef had broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior finally spread.


    Time passed, day by day.


    In May 2047, the breakthrough of Yu Jinghe into a Flying Heaven Warrior was announced, which also made many parties within the Seven Star Civilization sentimental.


    However, many Flying Heaven Warriors and even Demigods within the Seven Star Civilization were curious, when would that peerless prodigy ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ break through to the Flying Heaven Level?


    Not only within the Seven Star Civilization, but many Foreign Civilizations were also extremely interested.


    After all, a Prime Warrior comparable to the peak of Flying Heaven was too extraordinary.


    Yet, there was no news, and since the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, Spirit Gun had disappeared once again.


    No matter how the various powers conducted inquiries, they could not track down any trace of him.


    In the blink of an eye, time had advanced to the autumn of 2049.

 Chapter 596: 336: Killing a Demigod (Add 3 More)

    Chapter 596: Chapter 336: Killing a Demigod (Add 3 More)


    Seven Star Mountain, seven peaks stretched continuously, standing tall in the kilometer-high void.


    The entire Martial Divine Star Realm had entered autumn, but on Seven Star Mountain, it was spring all year round, with no snow ever falling.


    In front of palace residences, a huge flying vehicle was parked in the square.


    ¡°Wind, inherently formless.¡±


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged at the forefront of the square, gazing at the horizon, feeling the fierce wind blowing between heaven and earth, and felt a sincere comfort in his heart.


    A kilometer away, Lin Lanyue in a red robe, was holding a long sword, silently practicing her swordsmanship. With the changes in her sword movements, streaks of sword light, which even generated strands of flames, swept through the void.


    This was the power of flames.


    She was cultivating with all her heart.


    Suddenly!


    ¡°Boom!¡± The sword light swept across, like a blessing to the heart, a dazzling sword light suddenly sliced through a hundred meters of space, creating a fiery sword trail that directly chopped several trees in half at their midsections.


    They collapsed one after another.


    ¡°This?¡± A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Lanyue¡¯s eyes, feeling as if she had touched the mysterious and profound mysteries between heaven and earth.


    When this sword stroke passed, many past confusions seemed to be resolved effortlessly.


    Whoosh!


    A figure flashed by, it was Li Yuan, who sensed the intense fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth during his meditation.


    ¡°This sword.¡± Li Yuan looked amazed at the scene.


    A sword stroke over a hundred meters of void?


    There was no fluctuation of Origin Power, merely the transformation of the power of heaven and earth.


    ¡°Lanyue, have you comprehended the True Meaning of Fire?¡± Li Yuan asked with delight.


    ¡°It seems so,¡± Lin Lanyue hesitated slightly.


    She raised her finger, and flames emerged at her fingertips, swirling around as if forming a fireball.


    Immediately following, an invisible force lifted Lin Lanyue, causing her to slowly rise and hover in the void.


    Flying in the air.


    A hallmark of a True Intent Prime Warrior.


    ¡°Good.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, he laughed, ¡°Haha, Lanyue, congratulations. It¡¯s not even a year since you started to condense the embryonic form of True Intent, and you¡¯ve already successfully comprehended the True Meaning of Fire.¡±


    Whoosh! With a thought from Lin Lanyue, she controlled the initially grasped power of heaven and earth to slowly descend, smiling at Li Yuan, ¡°Li Yuan, others saying I cultivate fast is one thing, but you¡­ I always feel like you¡¯re mocking me.¡±


    Lin Lanyue was well aware that Li Yuan had progressed from the embryonic form of True Intent to condensing True Intent in less than a month.


    ¡°I¡¯m not mocking you,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°On Seven Star Mountain, how many True Intent Prime Warriors are there under the age of thirty? You¡¯re only 24.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Lanyue nodded slightly, no longer objecting.


    Over the past three years, her progress had indeed been rapid, advancing from Fifth Stage Perfection to now stepping into the Sixth Stage¡­ Her speed was extraordinarily exaggerated, significantly faster than Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef were in their time.


    After all, not everyone could compare with Li Yuan.


    Such rapid progress was partly due to her True Phoenix Bloodline, but her cultivation was also extremely arduous.


    ¡°Li Yuan, have you felt any breakthroughs in these past few months?¡± Lin Lanyue couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy.¡±


    ¡°Since half a year ago, when I felt that the True Meaning of Wind had reached its limit, it¡¯s become difficult to progress further,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°From Intermediate Rank True Intent to High Rank¡­ this is a chasm.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly extended a finger.


    Phew~


    The power of heaven and earth surged, and an invisible fluctuation shot out from his fingertip, like a flicker of Spear Light, instantly spanning hundreds of meters of void¡­ An invisible force, but Lin Lanyue sensed it incredibly clearly, a lasting finger mark appeared in the void.


    Only a True Intent powerhouse could sense this mark.


    ¡°Is this the power of nearly Sixth Stage High Rank from heaven and earth?¡± Lin Lanyue exclaimed in admiration. ¡°Li Yuan, this is just your True Meaning of Wind¡­ How much stronger would it be if you combined it with the even stronger True Meaning of Earth, with the mysteries of the True Meaning of Wind?¡±


    Over recent years.


    Both had resided on Seven Star Mountain, frequently encountering each other. Lin Lanyue was well aware of how greatly Li Yuan had progressed.


    His comprehension of True Intent had increased immeasurably compared to three years ago.


    In Lin Lanyue¡¯s view, even Duanmu Mountain Master, the ¡®Star Master¡¯, once Li Yuan combined two major True Intents to burst forth¡­ might not match Li Yuan in terms of True Intent comprehension.


    ¡°Combining True Intents?¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    For these three years, his Level of Life hadn¡¯t improved and was still at the Prime Warrior limit.


    But in other aspects, his progress had been tremendous.


    Like the True Meaning of Earth, which had stepped into the Sixth Stage High Rank half a year ago¡­ The True Meaning of Wind also improved rapidly, reaching the limit of Sixth Stage Middle Rank, and was just one step away from stepping into Sixth Stage High Rank.


    Both True Intents separately were at the Flying Heaven Peak level.


    Once combined to burst forth?


    ¡°I feel like I might be able to compare with a Demigod,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a hint of admiration in her eyes.


    ¡°Perhaps,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°But that¡¯s just the most ordinary class of Demigod.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s already very powerful,¡± Lin Lanyue remarked. ¡°Demigod level¡­ is already the peak force of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Clearly, she wasn¡¯t deeply aware of the innermost secrets of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Li Yuan, I believe in you. You will surely become the strongest in the history of our civilization,¡± Lin Lanyue said with a smile. ¡°Even stronger than the Alliance Leader.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the only one who would say that,¡± Li Yuan chuckled, but his mood was increasingly buoyant.


    These three years, most of the time, was spent on Seven Star Mountain.


    Cultivation was tedious.


    Initially, Li Yuan felt a lot of gratitude towards Lin Lanyue.


    For Lin Lanyue, it started with admiration for Li Yuan, then gradually turned into affection¡­ over these three years, the two of them, accompanying each other through arduous cultivation, unknowingly developed deeper feelings, both aware of each other¡¯s sentiment, yet without fully breaking the ice.


    Companionship is the longest confession of love.


    ¡°Lanyue, let¡¯s head back,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve just begun to condense True Intent, further meditation in seclusion will yield greater gains.¡±


    ¡°If you can take it a step further, you could attempt to go to Fierce Feather Star Realm, Ming Xu Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan added.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded.


    Over the years, as Ming Xu Star Realm gradually developed, the secrets of Ming Mountain¡­ were no longer a major secret for members of Seven Star Mountain.


    All True Intent Prime Warriors had nearly all attempted to enter the Civilization Mothership, but unfortunately, no one else could gain recognition from the Alien God.


    Divine Being Inheritance wasn¡¯t something easy to come by.


    ¡­


    Watching Lin Lanyue walk away,


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Uncle and aunt really approve of Lanyue.¡±


    During the New Year in February this year, Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue had visited Jiang City.


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were very satisfied with Lin Lanyue, particularly impressed¡­ especially the aunt, who had privately advised Li Yuan.


    ¡°Let nature take its course.¡±


    ¡°When the right time comes, it will happen naturally.¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t actively pursuing this matter.


    Sigh!


    As he returned to the plaza, Li Yuan casually sat down and felt the Mysteries of Wind between heaven and earth.


    ¡°I possess the Thousand Illusions Formation Map.¡±


    ¡°With the aid of ¡®True Solution of the Heavenly Wind Star Vein,¡¯ how is it that I still haven¡¯t broken through after so long?¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°If I could break through the True Meaning of Wind¡­ the might of my Spear Technique would likely approach the Threshold of the Law.¡±


    Nowadays, compared to three years ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique had already undergone a transformation.


    If he could advance further, undoubtedly, it would alarm countless Flying Heaven Warriors.


    From Sixth Stage Perfection to the Seventh Stage Law, that again would be a transformation.


    Yet, to take this step, even though Li Yuan combined two True Intents, it was extremely difficult.


    ¡°True Intent Comprehension has improved greatly, but as for spiritual power and Star Meridian¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze flicked toward the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡°With under the harsh grinding of the sun, my willpower had stepped into the Semi-Divine Level two years ago,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But it¡¯s tough for spiritual power to break through to the Semi-Divine Level!¡±


    A year ago, his spiritual power had already reached level 39.9, but it had been stagnant ever since.


    Indeed, Li Yuan had spent tens of thousands of points to purchase various Fourth Rank Treasures from the Seven Stars Treasury, all aimed at enhancing spiritual power¡­ but to no avail.


    The breakthrough of such a major bottleneck is seldom aided by ordinary external means.


    ¡°If I could reach the Flying Heaven Level and undergo a transformation of the flesh, perhaps my spiritual power might break through,¡± Li Yuan secretly sighed.


    Soul and body are inseparably linked.


    It is indeed extremely difficult for a Prime Warrior¡¯s body to nurture a Semi-Divine Level Soul.


    As for the cultivation of the Star Meridian, although it gets harder later on, Li Yuan was becoming increasingly composed.


    ¡°Still continually awakening Life Stars.¡±


    ¡°The first six Star Meridians are already so powerful, and now, there are numerous Unowned Life Stars in my Life Starry Sky¡­ awakening the seventh Star Meridian should be very close,¡± Li Yuan reflected.


    ¡°Time.¡±


    ¡°Ample time will make me incredibly powerful.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just turned 24 years old, so there is no rush,¡± Li Yuan calmly thought to himself.


    Long-term cultivation is also a refinement of the spirit. Three years? Even ten years, Li Yuan could wait.


    ¡­


    As autumn gave way to winter, in the blink of an eye, the entire Martial Divine Star Realm except for the Seven Star Mountain was blanketed in vast snowfall.


    It was during this winter.


    A sensational piece of news broke out from Blue Star, and in an extremely short time, it shook the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°A Demigod has fallen!!¡±


    ¡°Just one battle, and a Demigod from the Cloud Beast Civilization alongside Tassi, a Demigod from the Tianliang Civilization, have fallen!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Warrior, he successfully slew two Demigods in the Wanhan Star Realm!¡±


    ¡°Weren¡¯t people saying Fang Hai was stuck at his bottleneck and couldn¡¯t advance?¡±


    ¡°Heaven!¡± This news, like a hurricane, not only swept through the entire Seven Star Civilization but also reached the Myriad Demons Civilization, the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and many other powerful civilizations, shocking everyone.


    Even the legendary Divine Beings were inquiring about this matter.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior, slaying a Demigod.


    Not only was this the first instance in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, but even considering the whole Dimensional Domain, it¡¯s a rare occurrence, signifying the true rise of a peerless genius.


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader, an invincible Demigod, once fought and killed dozens of Demigods, deterring the Myriad Demons Civilization from invading. Perhaps he has already become a Divine Being by now.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai, hidden for decades, erupted in one day! He is even more terrifying than his teacher was back in the day.¡±

    ¡°Li Yuan, reportedly his strength is not inferior to Yu Jinghe back in the days.¡±


    ¡°Our Seven Star Civilization is truly on the rise.¡± The high-ranking Flying Heaven Warriors and above of the entire Seven Star Civilization were excited and exhilarated.


    The birth of a Divine Being is beneficial to the entire civilization.


    And these few individuals, perhaps they might all become Divine Beings in the future.


    ¡­


    Seven Star Mountain, inside the palace.


    ¡°Principal, cultivating two Supreme Star Techniques is about to turn into a Demigod?¡± Li Yuan, looking at the information sent by the Alliance Leader, asked.

 Chapter 597: 337: Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope

    Chapter 597: Chapter 337: Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope


    The intelligence report from Dongfang Ji was much more detailed than what was spread through the virtual network.


    ¡°Dragon Spring Tide of the Wanhan Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°Containing a Supreme Treasure of the Water Lineage?¡± Li Yuan perused the report, secretly marveling.


    It roughly described Fang Hai¡¯s experiences over the years, spending most of his time within the Wanhan Star Realm.


    What exactly was the Dragon Spring Tide? The report did not say.


    ¡°It must be a treasure like the source of the Heaven Wind that the Alliance Hierarch values so highly, and even caused the principal to transform,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Although he had awakened his Mind Spirit Divine Palace and even received the heritage from two True Gods, Li Yuan did not dare to underestimate the Alliance Hierarch and the principal.


    ¡°In the vast world, countless encounters.¡±


    ¡°Every person is the protagonist of their own life. Who can reason out the ordinary?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Just like me, who would have thought that in just six years, as a mere Prime Warrior, without even becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, my True Intent Comprehension would reach the threshold of a demigod?¡±


    Li Yuan was extremely satisfied with the progress of his True Intent over the past three years, which was much greater than that of the previous three years.


    He believed that when the time for an explosion of power came, he would surely surprise many Foreign Civilizations.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Now is not yet the time to make a move.¡± Li Yuan sent the message files and, after thinking for a bit, sent a congratulatory message to Principal Fang Hai.


    ¡°Continue cultivating.¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his mind, once again immersing his consciousness in the Life Starry Sky. Years passed, and the once dim Life Starry Sky had become ever more dazzling.


    ¡°Awaken.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Mental Consciousness divided and roamed within the Life Starry Sky, following the dazzling Star Meridians, capturing their mystical movements, and trying to discover more Life Stars.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Li Yuan suddenly grunted, feeling a sudden trembling in the Star Meridians, his body suffering injuries¡­ the awakening failed.


    Another thread of Mental Consciousness was extinguished.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting tougher. Even with my level 39.9 spiritual power, attempting to continue exploring and awakening on such a strong Star Meridian foundation is increasingly difficult.¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°The speed of awakening Life Stars is slowing down.¡±


    Each Life Star that awakens needs to be integrated with Mental Consciousness.


    It requires the soul to bear it.


    Although Li Yuan was of Six Star Pulse, each Star Meridian was exceptionally strong, and the pressure on his soul far exceeded that of ordinary strong individuals with Six Star Pulse.


    Eventually.


    After spending over an hour and failing four times, Li Yuan finally successfully awakened more than ten Life Stars.


    And continuous injuries to his body forced Li Yuan to stop.


    ¡°Need to rest for at least three days.¡±


    ¡°Law Creation.¡±


    ¡°The closer to the limit, the tougher it is.¡±


    ¡°I thought too simply of the Seven Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight frown, ¡°No wonder they are called legendary.¡±


    ¡°Now, with so many Unowned Life Stars in my Life Starry Sky, theoretically awakening two or three more Star Meridians would be more than enough.¡± Li Yuan sensed the vast number of Unowned Life Stars within him.


    A large number of Life Stars, far more than three years ago, but since they had not formed a Star Meridian, they could not be utilized.


    Four years ago, after the second Spiritual Guidance, Li Yuan once thought the awakening of the Seven Stars was imminent.


    But these four years of Law Creation told him. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He had been wrong.


    ¡°There are quite a few with Six Star Pulse within the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But looking at the entire Dimensional Domain, across tens of thousands of Dimensional Planes, today there might only be Principal Fang Hai able to slay a demigod with Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan shook his head slightly.


    He pondered for a moment.


    Whoosh! With a thought, Li Yuan entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Three years, such great progress with the Star Meridian, even the weakest one has awakened to Sixth Layers, and you still think it¡¯s slow?¡± Upon hearing Li Yuan¡¯s account, Gu You¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.


    ¡°Is it not slow?¡± Li Yuan asked in confusion.


    ¡°Wrong!¡±


    ¡°You are terribly wrong!!¡± The girl shook her head and said, ¡°Brother, do you really think that it took you one year to go from a One Star Pulse to a Six Star Pulse, so after a few more years, you will definitely awaken to the Seven Star Pulse?¡±


    ¡°By that logic, should ten years be enough to awaken the legendary Nine Star Pulse?¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that easy!¡±


    ¡°If it were so simple, someone who is a Prime Warrior would have awakened Seven Star Pulse,¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°In that case, the Divine Realm would be filled with Seven Star Pulse, and there wouldn¡¯t be so many divines stuck at Six Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°Many true gods are also at Six Star Pulse.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    ¡°If the difficulty from Three Star Pulse to Five-Star Meridian is 1, then from Five-Star Meridian to Six Star Pulse the difficulty is 100, and from Six Star Pulse to Seven Star Pulse, the difficulty is at least 10,000,¡± said Gu You, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°For this reason, even when you initially showed such a high Star Vein Talent, I only expected you to become a Seven Star Pulse in the Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been creating laws for so long,¡± Gu You said, ¡°You should understand, the further you awaken the Star Pulse, the more you reach the limits of your current soul strength and skill level.¡±


    ¡°Like many Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors with high True Intent Comprehension who choose to breakthrough, do you think they don¡¯t want to strengthen their foundation? No! It¡¯s because they spend five, ten, fifty years, and still can¡¯t awaken even one Life Star.¡±


    ¡°At their limit, unable to improve, naturally, they can only breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°In fact.¡±


    ¡°Your progress is extremely fast, and the fact that you can still awaken Life shows you still have a lot of room for improvement,¡± said Gu You, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°With your current rate of progress, you could awaken Seven Star Pulse in as little as one or two years, or at most ten.¡±


    Ten years? Li Yuan sighed inwardly; he had enough patience.


    It just felt a bit slow.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind the slowness.¡±


    ¡°According to what father said back then, aside from some top bloodlines and supreme Divine Beasts, even in the Divine Realm, reaching Seven Star Pulse before age 50 in the Second Rank is already extremely exceptional,¡± Gu You seemed to understand Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts, smiling and saying, ¡°If you spend another ten years, you¡¯ll only be in your thirties.¡±

    Chapter 598: Chapter 337: Legend of the Divine Realm! The Only Hope_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°In his thirties, still in the most vigorous stage of a Second Rank life, stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm wouldn¡¯t affect anything.¡±


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    Gu You said, ¡°As long as you are a Seven Star Veins at Second Rank, and upon reaching Flying Heaven Realm or Demigod status you achieve Eight Star Veins, there is a great hope.¡±


    ¡°That was also the goal I had set for you back in the day.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; Gu You had indeed said something similar early on.


    But his own goal had always been for a Prime Warrior to achieve Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Can¡¯t one achieve Eight Star Veins at Second Rank?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Second Rank achievement?¡±


    ¡°Theoretically it¡¯s possible, but practically it¡¯s almost non-existent,¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°You must understand that Second Rank is indeed the best period for awakening Star Veins. During this stage, all lives start the same¡­ But once you enter Flying Heaven Realm, due to different Star Veins, the Origin Pills that condense are fundamentally different.¡±


    ¡°Even during the Flying Heaven Stage, some powerhouses further awaken from Six Star Pulse to Seven Star Pulse, making their Origin Pills undergo transformation, yet there is an essential difference from the Innate Seven Stars Origin Pill.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He knew this point; it was precisely for this reason that he was so eager to reach Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Prime Warrior stage.¡±


    ¡°Even for someone like you, who cultivated the strongest Body Refining Star Technique and whose body was at the limit of a Prime Warrior, only 30 levels¡­ The Life Star you nurtured is not strong enough, the soul your body can sustain is not strong enough¡­ The huge disparity at the foundation makes Seven Star Pulse almost the limit,¡± Gu You said earnestly.


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, many top Divine Beasts of powerful forces are born as Seven Star Veins and then utilize Origin Treasures to assist in cultivation, external cultivation conditions are considered the top; it¡¯s something you can¡¯t imagine¡­ In the end, most still only manage to break through into Flying Heaven with Seven Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°Condensing the Origin Pill with Seven Star Pulse, stepping into Flying Heaven, after becoming a Demigod, the Life Star strengthens, the soul becomes further powerful, enabling the further awakening of more Life Stars, holding great hope for another leap.¡±


    ¡°Of course, there are also extremely few geniuses that bloom late,¡± Gu You said: ¡°Six Star Pulse as a Prime Warrior, transformed to Seven Star Pulse in the Flying Heaven Realm, transformed to Eight Star Pulse upon reaching Demigod¡­ but it¡¯s extremely rare.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Divines!¡±


    ¡°Every one of them, when young, was an exceptional genius that shook many Star Domains,¡± a girl softly said: ¡°But upon ascending to godhood, most were still just Eight Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°Once Ascended to God, the Star Veins are fixed, almost impossible to change.¡±


    Li Yuan fully understood.


    Awakening a Seven Star Pulse at Second Rank; Third and Fourth Ranks further awaken an Eight Star Pulse.


    This was the path for top geniuses in the Divine Realm.


    And to ultimately achieve Eight Star Pulse, being Six Star Pulse at Second Rank was the baseline.


    ¡°Is there really no hope of reaching Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank?¡± Li Yuan still harbored a sliver of hope in his heart.


    ¡°There is.¡±


    ¡°But the number of such exceptional talents is much fewer than Heavenly Divines,¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°Father has roamed the Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years and seen several Heavenly Divines¡­ but never heard of a Second Rank life awakening Eight Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, such exceptional geniuses were born in secret, but their powerful affiliations would definitely not want to expose them, to avoid assassination by hostile forces,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan: ¡°After all, if one awakens Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°Then, there is hope of awakening to Nine Star Pulse before becoming a god.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Star Pulse, even in the Divine Realm, is a legend, rare to see one born in an era,¡± Gu You sighed wistfully.


    ¡°An era?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, an era typically refers to around 300,000 years, roughly equivalent to the lifespan of a Heavenly Divine,¡± Gu You explained.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°You said before that you wanted to try for Eight Star Veins, I didn¡¯t stop you, because I really didn¡¯t know your limit,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Having aspirations is good.¡±


    ¡°But you must also stay grounded.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior achieving Eight Star Veins¡­ If a Heavenly Divine dedicated all their energy to nurture you, with your talent, there might be a glimmer of hope,¡± Gu You shook her head: ¡°Unfortunately, neither I nor your Seven Star Civilization has such conditions.¡±


    ¡°So.¡±


    ¡°After a few more years, once you become a Seven Star Pulse, then make your breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°Being able to awaken to Seven Star Pulse as a Prime Warrior within the Mortal Domain, you should be proud,¡± Gu You said: ¡°Wait until you¡¯re in Flying Heaven, a Demigod, and then work hard to transform into Eight Star Pulse later.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with a wry smile.


    A sliver of hope? Wasn¡¯t that essentially no hope?


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡°Sis, I¡¯ll think it over carefully, I¡¯m leaving now,¡± Li Yuan said, and with a thought, he had already left the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the palace.


    ¡°Not willing to give up?¡± A girl with bare feet muttered: ¡°Makes sense, such a monstrous talent, never truly met a rival genius since the start of cultivation¡­ why would he easily give up?¡±


    ¡°Just wait!¡±


    ¡°When he takes a big fall, he¡¯ll naturally come to his senses,¡± Gu You thought to herself.


    She didn¡¯t mind Li Yuan wasting ten or twenty years.


    ¡°`


    As long as he broke through before the age of fifty, the impact wouldn¡¯t be significant.


    Moreover, Gu You had always been observing in secret and knew that Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was still rapidly progressing.


    That was enough.


    In Gu You¡¯s view, if Li Yuan¡¯s growth was too smooth, it might not be a good thing.


    ¡°In the path of cultivation, can everything be as desired?¡± Gu You shook his head inwardly, ¡°Stumbling a little now is far better than taking a big fall later.¡±


    ¡­


    In the Quiet Chamber


    ¡°The materials Qiu Bingzun gave me only mentioned that it¡¯s difficult for a Prime Warrior to awaken the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect it to be this difficult.¡±


    ¡°Just as Gu You said.¡±


    ¡°Only the top Star Vein Talent, coupled with the best cultivation by a Heavenly Divine¡­ might offer a sliver of hope for success.¡± A glint flickered in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, ¡°I don¡¯t have the help of a Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°My greatest aid¡­¡±


    ¡°First is the ¡®Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡¯; such a Visualization Method, even in the Divine Realm, is top-tier, something even the Ancient Torch Divine can¡¯t provide.¡±


    ¡°Second, is Spiritual Guidance.¡±


    ¡°But to activate Spiritual Guidance again, spiritual power must further transform to reach an awakening limit of 75%,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Then, I must further cultivate my spiritual power.¡±


    Li Yuan understood. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even if the soul reached the Semi-Divine Level, it might not necessarily result in the awakening limit reaching 75%.


    But this was the first step.


    ¡°Fight on!¡±


    ¡°My body is too weak, trying to bear a Semi-Divine Level Soul, if it is just as before, engaging in normal cultivation of visualization methods, even spending another ten or twenty years, the soul might not break through,¡± Li Yuan decided resolutely in his heart.


    When cultivation reaches a bottleneck, sometimes time accumulation is needed, but beyond a certain level, more time alone is useless.


    ¡°Only by fighting desperately is there a glimmer of hope.¡±


    ¡°A Semi-Divine Level Soul is my only hope!¡±


    Thinking of this.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan tapped on his smart ring, opened the Seven Stars Treasury and went straight to ¡®Soul Treasures.¡¯


    ¡°Not enough,¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    After pondering for a few seconds, Li Yuan directly made another call.


    Ten seconds later.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice sounded.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it the Alliance Hierarch?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°You can call me ¡®Yun Lao¡¯,¡± the deep voice spoke, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch is in secluded cultivation. If you have anything, you can ask me directly. With your permission¡­ you are qualified to know about me.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    This deep voice should be a secretive existence within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Yun Lao.¡±


    ¡°I want to purchase a large quantity of Fourth Rank ¡®Soul Recovery Treasures,¡¯ even Fifth Rank ones,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°A lot.¡±


    ¡°How much? How many?¡± the deep voice puzzled, ¡°Five? Ten?¡±


    Fourth Rank Soul Recovery Treasures typically cost between 1000 to 5000 Seven Stars Points, depending on their effectiveness and rarity.


    ¡°Start with one hundred,¡± Li Yuan hesitated and then said, ¡°If that¡¯s not enough, I might need more.¡±


    The other end of the communication fell silent.


    After a long while.


    ¡°Are you sure you misspoke?¡± the deep voice said, ¡°What are you trying to do? The entire Seven Stars Treasury doesn¡¯t have that many right now. I must report to the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m aiming to impact the Semi-Divine Level Soul and awaken the Seven Star Pulse,¡± Li Yuan stated directly.


    Some things need not be concealed.


    ¡°Alright, just wait,¡± the deep voice did not ask further.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch just agreed. The first batch of fifty Fourth Rank Soul Nurturing Treasures will be sent to Martial Divine Star Realm within a day, and the Seven Stars Points will be deducted directly from your account,¡± the deep voice said, ¡°As for more¡­ it will take some time.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan nodded, for the short term, fifty was enough.

    Feixing, a mysterious place where the sky was dim, and below was a vast ocean.


    Yet, the ocean water was completely black, unfathomable.


    Two figures stood in the void.


    ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Fang Hai in black robe asked Dongfang Ji, who was not far away.


    If Li Yuan were here,


    he would have sensed the changes in Fang Hai¡¯s aura, which had greatly changed from the past.

    then now, he was like an abyss, becoming unfathomable. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Li Yuan just sent a message asking if he could exchange for a large batch of Fourth Rank Soul Treasures,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°He wants to exchange for 100 pieces.¡±


    ¡°100 pieces? That many? Even the entire Seven Stars Treasury doesn¡¯t have that many,¡± Fang Hai expressed doubtfully.


    ¡°Should I try to persuade him?¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°By doing this, other Semi-Divine and Flying Heaven levels will probably lack such treasures for cultivation.¡±


    To Fang Hai, even if Li Yuan had enough Seven Stars Points, he shouldn¡¯t be so capricious.


    One must always consider the bigger picture.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°He communicated directly with me and didn¡¯t trouble San Ye, probably because he wanted to ask if I could make the exchange,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°He previously risked his life and made significant contributions to civilization¡­ A fair exchange, naturally, we cannot let him be disheartened.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already instructed Yun Pu to prepare.¡±


    ¡°A few hundred Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, I can still afford to exchange,¡± Dongfang Ji stated calmly.


    Fang Hai¡¯s pupils contracted, slightly shocked.


    A single Fourth Rank Soul Treasure was normally worth a thousand or two thousand points¡­ one hundred pieces would be about 200,000 Seven Stars Points.


    But treasures are not calculated like that.


    Logically, like Fourth Rank Treasures, the production of the entire civilization was finite within a certain time frame; they couldn¡¯t be exchanged unlimitedly by any powerful entity.


    Unless¡­ there was a stable supply channel.


    But in the entire Dimensional Domain, which force could stably supply Fourth Rank Soul Treasures? Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization couldn¡¯t do it!


    In an instant, Fang Hai thought of many possibilities.


    ¡°No need to ask more,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head with a smile, ¡°Once you conquer the Seventh Mountain, many things will naturally become clear¡­ and by then, the Seven Star Civilization will also be handed over to you.¡±


    ¡°Yes, teacher,¡± Fang Hai nodded, no longer inquiring about the source of the treasures, yet he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What does Li Yuan need so many Fourth Rank treasures for?¡±


    ¡°He said he wants to impact the Semi-Divine Soul and awaken the Seven Star Veins,¡± Dongfang Ji replied.


    Fang Hai¡¯s pupils contracted.


    ¡°According to the Martial Divine Hall¡¯s perception, just half a year ago, his Spear Technique was comparable to a Demigod,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°Much faster than you back in the day.¡±


    ¡°Only over three years have passed since the conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm, and his Spear Technique has transformed? Indeed, much faster than me,¡± Fang Hai sincerely said. ¡°I was nearly forty when my True Intent Comprehension reached the Demigod level.¡±


    ¡°And it took another decade and the opportunity in the Nine Leaves World for me to step into the Threshold of the Law.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is indeed much stronger than me,¡± Fang Hai stated.


    ¡°No need to compare yourself with him, as everyone¡¯s talent and opportunities differ,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°Before him, you were already a rare genius of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to your excellent guidance, teacher,¡± Fang Hai solemnly said.


    He was very grateful to Dongfang Ji in his heart, knowing well that without his teacher¡¯s guidance all the way¡­ he wouldn¡¯t have made it to where he was today.


    ¡°Teacher, does Li Yuan have a chance of awakening the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior?¡± Fang Hai asked doubtfully, ¡°Are Fourth Rank treasures alone enough?¡±


    ¡°They are not enough,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head. ¡°The Seven Star Veins¡­ are not that easy.¡±


    ¡°His body is too weak to achieve a Semi-Divine level soul¡­ Relying solely on external objects, even Fifth Rank treasures are not enough.¡±


    ¡°Sixth Rank treasures? I have difficulty offering them, and even if I could, his soul and body wouldn¡¯t withstand it,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Fang Hai nodded in agreement.


    Treasures also required a strong enough constitution to be effective.


    Otherwise, sometimes they could even be harmful.


    ¡°With two True God Heritages guiding him, he won¡¯t stray from his path¡­ but how far he can go depends on him,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him; you need to focus on yourself next.¡±


    ¡°I look forward to the day you conquer the Nine Leaves, achieve Semi-Divinity, and finally return from conquering the Seventh Mountain,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes filled with anticipation.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    ¡°Disciple, I will give it my all,¡± Fang Hai bowed deeply and then hesitated no longer.


    Whoosh!


    He transformed into a streak of light and dived into the pitch-black ocean water¡­ deep in this sea area was the entrance to the Nine Leaves World.


    In the void, Dongfang Ji watched the pitch-black waters.


    For a moment, he was somewhat lost in thought.


    ¡°Hopefully, he can succeed,¡± Dongfang Ji murmured softly.


    He had great expectations for Li Yuan but allowed him to develop freely without intervention.


    However, with Fang Hai, he had profound insights, as he was a Direct Disciple nurtured for decades.


    The effort spent on Fang Hai was the most extensive.


    ¡°Master, I have already contacted the divine being from the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber,¡± a deep voice suddenly resonated beside Dongfang Ji. ¡°We expect the relevant treasures to arrive at the ¡®Canglan Star¡¯ in three days.¡±


    ¡°Yes, go arrange for their reception,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly. ¡°For the next period, no matter what Li Yuan wants, as long as his Seven Stars Points are enough to exchange¡­ exchange them for him.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t nurture him like a Heavenly Divine, but he should still have the basic cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the deep voice responded.


    ¡­


    Three days later.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your items have arrived, could you confirm them on the virtual network?¡± Duanmu Hong in white robe smiled, ¡°What did you buy this time? The delivery was made by a San Ye Semi-Divine, must be quite valuable, right?¡±


    ¡°Some small items,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, taking the Storage Treasure handed over by Duanmu Hong.


    He returned alone to the Quiet Chamber in the palace.


    ¡°Altogether with what was delivered the day before yesterday, there are a total of 100 portions of Fourth Rank treasures for restoring the soul,¡± Li Yuan sensed while checking the Exotic Treasures stored within the Storage Treasure.


    Each bore different appearances,Some were Spirit Fruits, some Medicinal Liquids, some resembled Jade Stones, and even some looked like Withered Wood.


    All bizarre.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, truly impressive,¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly, ¡°He deliberately acquired so many types of Fourth Rank treasures¡­ Many of these treasures never even appeared in the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    Li Yuan initially didn¡¯t expect the Alliance Hierarch could really get them¡­ only to find, he had underestimated the Alliance Hierarch.


    ¡°There¡¯s a secret!¡± Li Yuan thought about the last time he cultivated the ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    Dongfang Ji, too, managed to get a large amount of treasures within a few days.


    ¡°One time is a coincidence.¡±


    ¡°Twice?¡±


    ¡°All these exotic treasures gathered at once couldn¡¯t possibly be produced within our civilization,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Most likely, the Alliance Hierarch has a way to exchange a large number of treasures.¡±


    Such a channel was definitely of great significance to the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°To exchange these 100 Fourth Rank treasures, it cost 1.8 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°I hope it helps.¡±


    ¡°As long as it succeeds.¡±


    ¡°Spending millions of Seven Stars Points is worth it.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Li Yuan released a fruit that was entirely red, emitting a bizarre glow.


    He immediately popped it into his mouth.


    He closed his eyes.


    Boom! Most of Li Yuan¡¯s mental consciousness rushed into the first layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    He found himself in a vast starry sky.


    At the end of the starry sky was a dazzling, endless Great Sun, whose rays enveloped the void and shone upon Li Yuan.


    Years ago, when his spiritual power was only above ten, Li Yuan would feel pain.


    But now?


    ¡°Each time I come here, it feels comfortable,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mental consciousness felt warm.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body swiftly approached the Great Sun. The originally warm light quickly turned blistering hot, followed by a scorching pain.


    The closer he got, the more terrifying the light of the Great Sun, and the more daunting the pressure it emitted.


    After a long time.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s vision, the entire Great Sun had already obscured half of the sky¡­ clearly, he was very close.


    ¡°My soul is being scorched,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face showed faint signs of pain.


    Over the past several years, Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method mostly here.


    It was extremely painful, and even with a Semi-Divine level willpower like Li Yuan¡¯s, it was painful¡­ but it wasn¡¯t a real threat to his life.


    ¡°Not enough!¡±


    ¡°If I were just practicing normally, staying here for visualization would be enough, but if I want to break through the limit.¡±


    ¡°Then I must get even closer,¡± determination flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan continued to approach, that soul-scorching pain intensifying.


    Li Yuan clenched his teeth and pressed on.


    ¡°Hiss~¡± The dreadful light of the Great Sun even penetrated the surface, starting to harm Li Yuan¡¯s soul directly; it was like tearing the soul apart.


    Pain!


    Agonizing pain!


    ¡°I¡¯ve reached my limit.¡± Not only was Li Yuan¡¯s soul trembling, but his body was also subtly affected, shaking.


    With a thought, Li Yuan operated the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡±


    Swoosh~From the other end of the void, in the starry sky, slender strands of peculiar energy traveled through the void, infiltrating Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body, easing the soul¡¯s pain, and healing the soul¡¯s injuries.


    But it was far from enough.


    ¡°Crack~¡± Li Yuan immediately swallowed that Fourth Rank fruit.


    Quickly, the fruit¡¯s effectiveness unfolded, streams of peculiar energy infiltrated Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual world¡­ beginning to heal his soul¡¯s wounds.


    ¡°Continue!¡±


    ¡°Temper the spirit, temper the consciousness!¡± Li Yuan tenaciously endured the pain: ¡°My body is too weak, so I cannot directly nurture a Semi-Divine level soul or rely on external items.¡±


    ¡°Thus, the only option is to find a way for the soul to undergo a metamorphosis from within.¡±


    ¡°Visualization Method!¡±


    ¡°The pressure of the Great Sun.¡±


    ¡°Having practiced the Visualization Method for seven years, although I¡¯ve been very diligent, every time I reached the limit of what my spiritual power could endure, I would rest¡­ To break my body¡¯s confines, I need to break the soul¡¯s limit!¡± This was the method Li Yuan thought of to completely transform the soul.


    Visualization Method!!


    ¡°Time after time, squeezing the soul, tearing the soul.¡± Li Yuan silently endured: ¡°Just like training the body to the verge of death¡­ Normally, if practiced this way, the soul would not endure and collapse.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been continuously ingesting Fourth Rank Soul Treasures¡­ which can combine with the Visualization Method to quickly restore soul injuries.¡±


    ¡°Strive!¡±


    ¡°Give it my all! Persist!¡±


    ¡°Until the day the soul undergoes a complete metamorphosis from within,¡± Li Yuan resolved inwardly.


    ¡­


    For a Flying Heaven Level, transforming the soul to a Semi-Divine level is extremely difficult.


    What about a Prime Warrior attempting it? The difficulty is unimaginable.


    Li Yuan¡¯s method, easy to speak of when Heavenly Divine beings in the Divine Realm each know it, but hard to execute¡­ to endure the extreme pain of tearing the soul, not everyone can manage.


    Especially those who grew up sheltered, inherently strong, who have never experienced hardship, how could they endure?


    Even Li Yuan.


    During many years of cultivation, through day after day of visualization cultivation, he honed his willpower to a semi-divine level, and still, it was somewhat unbearable.


    But, he continued to persevere!


    Just like when he was young, before awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, also not fitting the high rank cultivation methods¡­ he practiced day in and day out, never considering giving up.


    While training at Kunlun Martial University, he could endure the extreme pain of ¡°Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow.¡±


    tenacity! Insanity! This was Li Yuan¡¯s true nature.


    Time passed.


    One day, two days, five days¡­ apart from regular spear technique practice, comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent, and occasionally seeing Lin Lanyue¡­ Li Yuan spent most of his time on the Visualization Method.


    Gradually.


    One month, two months¡­ after consuming 100 Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, Li Yuan exchanged for another batch.


    Continuing to cultivate.


    And gradually adapting, his willpower improved under such intense tempering, and his soul, under such day after day of squeezing, finally began to transform.

 Chapter 600: 339: Limit! Soul Collapse

    Chapter 600: Chapter 339: Limit! Soul Collapse


    ¡°Soul is undergoing transformation.¡±


    ¡°Willpower is being enhanced,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    In just three months, his willpower had risen from level 40 to 41.


    Though his spiritual power did not rise in rank, Li Yuan clearly felt the subtle changes within his soul.


    But this was not enough, far from enough.


    ¡°My body does not provide much assistance in nurturing the soul; instead, it¡¯s subtly becoming a hindrance,¡± Li Yuan realized. ¡°I must press myself even harder.¡±


    Thus, while cultivating the ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body drew even closer to the Great Sun.


    Indeed, the effects of his cultivation were better, but the agony tearing through his soul also soared once again!!


    The damage to his soul was even greater.


    Consequently, the number of Fourth Rank Soul Treasures he consumed increased¡­ With a huge amount of Seven Stars Points being invested, even Yun Lao, who was in charge of procurement, was shocked by the quantity.


    It was too much.


    Even for the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber, as the asking price gradually increased, he had no choice but to report back to Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Let him go,¡± was the response.


    ¡°The birth of an exceptional genius requires talent, perseverance, and a massive amount of resources¡ªthese three elements are indispensable,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently. ¡°In the end, a bit of luck is still needed.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the consumption of resources is too vast,¡± a deep voice couldn¡¯t help but comment. ¡°If we continue to use the original points pricing, we might suffer a loss.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has enough talent and strong enough perseverance,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head. ¡°What do those resources count for? They don¡¯t even catch up to a single Sixth Rank treasure¡­ Don¡¯t be stingy; haven¡¯t the resources from Mingxu Star Realm already begun to be excavated? We will recover the costs.¡±


    ¡°Master, I¡¯m just worried it will all be in vain,¡± the deep voice said.


    ¡°Can every effort always yield a return?¡± Dongfang Ji laughed. ¡°Those Heavenly Divine who take disciples, each one of them an exceptional genius, will also invest a tremendous amount of resources to nurture them¡­ In the end, it¡¯s hard for even one in ten to ascend to Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°One must be willing.¡±


    ¡°Without willingness, what can be gained?¡±


    ¡­


    As time passed by, Li Yuan¡¯s frenetic cultivation inevitably caused Liu Bing within the Heavenly Snake Hall to sense the fluctuations in his soul.


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Big brother, he¡­¡±


    ¡°Why are his spiritual fluctuations so intense? Why is he in such agony?¡± Sensing the outside world, as well as Li Yuan¡¯s condition, Green Snake Liu Bing was worried.


    In the first few months when Li Yuan began his cultivation, the fluctuations of his soul were quite normal.


    Since most of the time was spent resting, Liu Bing didn¡¯t pay much attention.


    She remained focused on her own cultivation.


    But by now, things had changed from the beginning. Inside the outer Quiet Chamber, a faint trace of blood seeped through Li Yuan¡¯s body, his form trembling subtly.


    His soul was in so much agony that his body was beginning to break down, a frightful state indeed, and yet, as Origin Power circulated, it would gradually heal his physical injuries.


    However, quickly, under the severe soul pain, his body would again ooze blood.


    The cycle repeated!


    Physical injuries could be healed, but the torment of the soul couldn¡¯t be alleviated.


    How could Liu Bing not notice such fluctuations in the soul?


    Whooosh~


    Within the hall, a majestic, one-horned Phantom congealed. It was Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°He must be trying to escalate to a Semi-Divine Level Soul,¡± Qiu Bingzun said quietly. ¡°His ambition really is grand, a Prime Warrior¡­ actually aiming for a Semi-Divine Level Soul.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Liu Bing was taken aback. ¡°Can it be achieved?¡±


    ¡°He must be cultivating a Visualization Method of an extremely high grade, perhaps no less than your inherited Visualization Method, capable of sharpening the soul to its limits and restoring it,¡± Qiu Bingzun stated. ¡°Moreover, the Seven Star Civilization is truly special, being able to procure so many Fourth Rank Treasures to aid his cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Yet even so, the chances of success are very slim,¡± Qiu Bingzun expressed. ¡°The external environment is still too poor.¡±


    ¡°The chances are slim?¡± Liu Bing felt a pang in her heart.


    ¡°Liu Bing, think about it. In the inherited memories of the past Holy Blood Heavenly Serpents, how many at Second Rank managed to reach a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that just stepping into the Threshold of the Law, and pushing one¡¯s spirit and willpower to the limit of Flying Heaven, is sufficient for ascension? That¡¯s the standard.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Liu Bing nodded, recalling the comprehensive standards in her ancestral memory.


    These past few years,


    She had been concentrating on her cultivation, making astonishing progress¡­ Her innate bloodline privilege had allowed her to step into the Threshold of the Wind Law, it was just that her advance in spiritual will was not very fast.


    There was no helping it; she was only a few years old.


    ¡°A Second Rank individual, even if cultivating the most powerful Body Refining Star Technique, the body is still too weak. Forcibly striving for a Semi-Divine Level Soul isn¡¯t very meaningful.¡±


    ¡°In fact, based on Li Yuan¡¯s powerful will, once he breaks through to the Flying Heaven Level, his soul will rapidly transform to Semi-Divine Level¡­ Pursuing the limit for the sake of it could more easily lead to life-threatening dangers,¡± Qiu Bingzun advised. ¡°Unless, he wants to thus attempt to reach higher Star Meridians¡­ but given his rate of progress, steadily cultivating according to plan, he could still reach the Seven Star Veins in several years.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so hard on himself at this moment.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t comprehend it,¡± Qiu Bingzun truly did not understand Li Yuan¡¯s actions.


    ¡°The Seven Star Veins would be no challenge for big brother,¡± Liu Bing said. ¡°Could big brother be aiming for the Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head. ¡°His talent is high, but residing in the Dimensional Domain, even with the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s nurturing conditions being relatively good compared to the Mortal Domain, they¡¯re incomparable to the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Now that he hasn¡¯t entered Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, unless a Heavenly God brings an Origin Supreme Treasure¡­ Even if he awakens a Semi-Divine Level Soul, there¡¯s not a sliver of hope.¡±


    ¡°In the history of our Heavenly Serpent Clan, those few who were born with Second Rank Eight Star Veins were all very special,¡± Qiu Bingzun continued. ¡°The strongest talents, coupled with the best external conditions¡­ and in the end, a bit of luck.¡±


    ¡°Only then could a Second Rank Eight Star Vein be conceived.¡±


    ¡°It signifies a foundation that is stronger than that of the most powerful Divine Beasts,¡± Qiu Bingzun stated. ¡°Those from our clan history who managed to grow up alive, each eventually dominated an era.¡±

    Chapter 601: Chapter 339: Limit! Soul Collapse_2


    Liu Bing couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Her legacy memories contained relevant descriptions.


    ¡°Could there be miracles?¡± Liu Bing couldn¡¯t help but ask, as she really hoped that Li Yuan would become powerful.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, so-called miracles are always traceable,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Like your elder brother, if he could have a semi-divine level soul, that would be a miracle¡­ But the foundation for creating such a miracle is that his willpower has already reached the semi-divine level.¡±


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°How can he form the Eight Star Veins if he hasn¡¯t even achieved the Seven Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°For second rank, it¡¯s always better to break through earlier, and definitely no later than fifty years old.¡±


    Liu Bing gently tapped her snakehead.


    ¡°Should I persuade elder brother then?¡± Liu Bing whispered.


    ¡°You can persuade, but not too much.¡±


    Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°The path of cultivation is one¡¯s own to walk¡­ Since he has chosen this path, he naturally has the determination.¡±


    ¡°The more determined the will, the more unshakeable it is!¡±


    ¡­


    Liu Bing¡¯s persuasion.


    Failed without surprise.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, I understand, I have it in mind,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile in response to Liu Bing.


    Was it unnecessary to have a semi-divine soul as a Prime Warrior?


    Were Second Rank Eight Star Veins numbered only a few in the history of millions of years of the Heavenly Serpent Clan?


    ¡°What I pursue,¡± Li Yuan said with a determination that was nearly terrifying, ¡°is to turn the impossible into possible.¡±


    How could he give up when he had seen the possibility of soul metamorphosis?


    Time flowed like water.


    Every day, Li Yuan would practice the Visualization Method for more than three hours, but overextending the limit meant that restoring the soul took over ten hours¡­ With the remaining time, he would continue to attempt to awaken the Life Star, but the speed of awakening was still slow.


    At the same time, he would continue to comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map, the Star of Myriad Manifestations Map, constantly advancing in his comprehension of True Intent.


    In the blink of an eye, it was May of 2050.


    Unnoticed, Li Yuan¡¯s True Meaning of Wind finally made a breakthrough, advancing from Sixth Stage Middle Rank to Sixth Stage High Rank¡­ Having reached the same height with the two laws, their integration now caused the might of Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique to surge once again.


    In the past, in terms of the mystery of techniques, Li Yuan had just reached the threshold of semi-divinity.


    But now, he truly matched many semi-divine beings.


    Unfortunately, the mysteries of Law Integration only increased combat power¡­ It did not greatly help Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough in soul transformation.


    The only benefit was that influenced by the Mysteries of True Intent, the speed of soul recovery was faster, and the growth of willpower was quicker.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan still had not given up; he had already spent 1.5 million Seven Stars Points to purchase a Fourth Rank Soul Treasure.


    The expenditure was comparable to that of a Divine Artifact.


    The most critical issue was the fatigue of the soul¡­ Constantly being pushed to the limit, always nearing the edge, no matter how much external items were used to recover from injuries, the intrinsic exhaustion of the soul could not be eliminated.


    Eliminate it? Only time! A long period of rest was needed. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just like a person working, a company can use bonuses to improve work efficiency, can rely on coffee or nutritional supplements to temporarily boost energy¡­ but it also significantly increases the risk of sudden death.


    Li Yuan¡¯s situation was just like that.


    No matter how strong his willpower, no matter how much he could endure, a Flying Heaven level soul has its limits¡­ Once it surpasses those limits, the soul would collapse.


    Once it reached that point, no treasure would be of any use.


    ¡­


    Dongfang Ji finally summoned Li Yuan again.


    ¡°How can your soul be so weary?¡± Dongfang Ji was surprised, realizing something was amiss.


    With his realm, he could feel the weariness seeping through Li Yuan¡¯s resolute gaze.


    Just like an old man at the end of his days.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to push yourself so hard, being destined for Seven Star Veins, a bit earlier or a bit later, doesn¡¯t make much difference,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and said, ¡°Your principal, when he was a Prime Warrior, upon seeing no hope to strike the Seven Star Veins, gave it up.¡±


    ¡°Now, he is the same, with Seven Star Veins,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°You are already the most outstanding person in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Everything in moderation,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, genuinely concerned that something might happen to him.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I only hope that the principal can support me to the best of his ability.¡±


    Dongfang Ji looked into Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, sighed softly, and was reminded of many things for a moment.


    ¡°Alright,¡± in the end, Dongfang Ji did not stop Li Yuan.


    If he had wanted to stop him, he could have cut off the supply of treasures to Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°Li Yuan, it¡¯s too dangerous.¡±


    ¡°This method of cultivation, even before your soul metamorphoses, you will collapse first,¡± Gu You said, full of concern.


    She had thought that Li Yuan would not be able to endure for too long and would give up on this path.


    Or that he would slowly awaken the Seven Star Veins and then feel the Eight Star Veins, naturally accepting reality.


    But what she didn¡¯t expect was that Li Yuan would choose to assault the Semi-Divine Level Soul, an extremely difficult task.


    And the more she observed, the more shocked she became.


    How terrifying was his tenacity to grit his teeth and hold on? Li Yuan was still desperately pushing forward, but Gu You instead began to fear.


    ¡­


    ¡°Big brother!¡±


    ¡°You must give up.¡±


    ¡°At most three months, if you continue to cultivate and squeeze yourself like this, your soul will definitely collapse,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s attitude completely changed because her soul was linked with Li Yuan¡¯s.


    She knew best the state of Li Yuan¡¯s soul, which was on the verge of collapse at any moment.


    ¡°Three months, huh?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Bing, thank you for the reminder.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s fight for another three months,¡± Li Yuan said. Having cultivated to this extent, he was unexpectedly much calmer.


    There was only this one chance.


    If he gave up, if he rested,


    Then the soul that was nearing transformation through repeated pressure, limited by the body, would gradually become frail again¡­ and he would have to start over from the beginning.


    Just like that.


    In the midst of many worries and doubts, Li Yuan¡¯s heart remained unshakable, he continued to persist!!


    The path of the strong is destined to be full of hardships.


    Opportunity? Talent?


    Without absolute strong willpower, without unprecedented determination, having just these is not enough to reach the pinnacle¡­ Just like when Li Yuan first obtained the Visualization Method as a young man, even if he relaxed a bit in his cultivation, he was destined to achieve notable success, but he chose to exert his full strength, giving up all rest time, reaching his own limit.


    At present.


    If he were to cultivate step by step, spend several more years, break through with the Seven Star Veins, and then reach the Eight Star Veins at the Flying Heaven Level¡­ he would have boundless prospects without the risk of soul collapse.


    But to Li Yuan, that wasn¡¯t enough.


    ¡°Just like when I took the college entrance exam and failed to get into Starfire Martial University, I have no regrets because I gave it my all.¡±


    ¡°Now, it is the same.¡±


    ¡°The opportunity is right before my eyes.¡±


    ¡°As long as I achieve a Semi-Divine Level Soul, I will have a hope of awakening the Eight Star Veins with a 75% increase in the upper limit of Spiritual Guidance!!¡±


    For a Prime Warrior undergoing the third Spiritual Guidance, it is fundamentally different from a Flying Heaven Level undergoing the third Spiritual Guidance.


    ¡°Give up?¡±


    ¡°If I wager everything and still fail in the end, then there will be no regret,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was serene.


    He had done everything he could to the extreme.


    The rest was left to fate!


    ¡­


    In a blink of an eye, nearly four more months passed.


    In the Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Crack~¡±p


    Li Yuan was lying directly on the ground, his body faintly curling up, trembling, the terrifying pain from his soul made him completely unable to control his body¡­ most of his Mental Consciousness was still gathered at the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    He was persisting with all his might.


    Because, before the last Visualization Method practice, Li Yuan perceived a subtle change in his soul


    ¡°Transformation!¡±


    ¡°The Soul origin has been squeezed to the limit, and it¡¯s about to undergo a complete transformation.¡±


    Therefore, Li Yuan did not hesitate any longer and chose to make a final stand.


    So, this time practicing the Visualization Method, he had surpassed three days, which was the longest session in half a year.


    He did not stop for a single moment.


    Just that Li Yuan¡¯s soul, which was already on the brink of its limit,


    Had come to the eve of its transformation, under the blazing heat of the Great Sun, and began to collapse completely.


    Too tired!


    Too weary!


    As if a marathon runner, having exhausted everything, about to reach the finish line through sheer willpower, but the body just couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness shattered thunderously, his soul entered a collapsing process.

    Chapter 602: Chapter 340: Semi-Divine Level Soul


    ¡°Hmm? Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal?¡± Within the Divine Palace atop Seven Star Mountain, Duanmu Hong, who was cultivating in seclusion, instantly sensed that something was amiss.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal was flickering.


    Startled, he tried to transmit a message to Li Yuan¡­ but there was no response.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°There must have been an accident.¡±


    ¡°But how could Li Yuan be in mortal danger while cultivating in the Martial Divine Star Realm?¡± Duanmu Hong immediately transmitted a message to the Alliance Hierarch.


    Immediately after, his figure moved and he flew out of the palace like a bolt of lightning towards Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    ¡­


    ¡°Hmm? Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Lamp! Is his soul collapsing?¡± Gu You, who had been staying in the Ancient Divine Palace, was similarly startled and instantly aware of Li Yuan¡¯s anomaly.


    ¡°He¡¯s really pushed to the point of soul collapse? How could this be?¡± Gu You immediately became anxious.


    She had always been worried about Li Yuan.


    She hadn¡¯t expected that Li Yuan would actually fall into dire straits.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s will has long reached the Semi-Divine Level.¡±


    ¡°His True Intent Comprehension is also extremely strong¡­ and he has been cultivating to the limit with a high-grade Visualization Method, and yet he still hasn¡¯t achieved a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡±


    ¡°Is it so difficult for a Prime Warrior to become a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Gu You was extremely anxious in her heart: ¡°A soul collapse¡­ is nearly irreversible.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t care about adhering to the command my father left me anymore.¡± Gu You clenched her teeth and a gleaming jade stone already appeared in her hand.


    She understood that even if she intervened, there was a high probability that she couldn¡¯t save Li Yuan.


    But to do nothing? Gu You was unwilling in her heart.


    Whoosh!


    With a single step, Gu You disappeared within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Big brother! No!!¡± Liu Bing¡¯s face changed dramatically, and tears seemed to swirl in her spiritual eyes.


    She felt Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura was rapidly weakening.


    ¡°Qiu elder.¡±


    ¡°Please help my big brother, help him.¡± In that moment, Liu Bing was utterly panicked.


    Whoosh!


    Qiu Bingzun¡¯s phantom appeared, and he sighed softly: ¡°Li Yuan¡­ if there were hope for the Eight Star Veins, it might be worth a try.¡±


    ¡°But even if he attained a Semi-Divine Level Soul, he is destined not to achieve the Prime Warrior¡¯s Eight Star Veins, so why make such a futile effort? I really don¡¯t know how such a manic disposition was developed, completely unpredictable.¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head: ¡°No wonder his will is so formidable, his temperament is almost unshakable.¡±


    ¡°Qiu elder, stop talking nonsense,¡± Liu Bing urged hurriedly: ¡°Is there any way you can help my big brother?¡±


    ¡°Little Bing!¡±


    ¡°Among the treasures preserved for you by the elders of our clan, there are two very special Origin Soul Treasures, more precious than the Origin of Wind¡­¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at the anxious Liu Bing.


    He very clearly understood that Liu Bing was extremely attached to Li Yuan; it was from the soul.


    ¡°If you use them for Li Yuan now.¡±


    ¡°Then there¡¯s a slight chance to save Li Yuan, but most likely¡­ it won¡¯t work.¡± Qiu Bingzun said: ¡°Whether to use them or not, you decide for yourself.¡±


    ¡°Save him!¡±


    ¡°Elder, if the treasures are lost, I can venture out and search again in the future,¡± Liu Bing immediately said: ¡°But if my big brother dies¡­ he is the only family I have left in this world.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°I will do my best to help him.¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded, not surprised by Liu Bing¡¯s decision.


    Whoosh! Qiu Bingzun also disappeared from the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡­


    Though the conversation seemed slow, Liu Bing picked up on changes in Li Yuan¡¯s soul even faster, and her exchange with Qiu Bingzun was very swift.


    Therefore, Qiu Bingzun was not much slower than Gu You.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber.


    Right beside where Li Yuan was lying on the ground.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One after another, two phantoms appeared, one a petite figure in white clothes with a holy aura, the other tall and burly.


    ¡°A God Level?¡± A trace of surprise flashed in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°So it¡¯s you, Heavenly Serpent Divine! Are you the remnant thought left by the Heavenly Serpent Divine?¡± Gu You recognized Qiu Bingzun¡¯s identity at first glance.


    In the moment they identified each other, neither wasted words.


    Both reached out and each produced a treasure.


    A hazy red light emanated from the object in Gu You¡¯s hand, while Qiu Bingzun held a purple crystal that emitted strange fluctuations.


    On the ground, Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura continued to wane, yet there seemed to be a formidable will being forcefully condensed.


    It was Li Yuan¡¯s own willpower, still struggling.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this,¡± Gu You said somberly: ¡°Don¡¯t hesitate any longer, let¡¯s seize this sliver of hope.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Gu You waved her hand, and the object emanating a red glow flew down, slowly merging into Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    ¡°An exercise in futility, what a waste of treasures, pity,¡± Qiu Bingzun sighed inwardly, convinced that Li Yuan was as good as dead.


    How could there be any chance of life with a soul collapse?


    If not for Liu Bing insisting on saving him, for fear that Liu Bing would hold a grudge against him, or even have ideas about the entire Heavenly Serpent Clan in the future,


    he would have simply let Li Yuan die.


    Qiu Bingzun was far less truly anxious than Gu You; after all, his real concern was Liu Bing, not Li Yuan.


    Whoosh! The purple crystal touched Li Yuan¡¯s forehead and instantly transformed into streams of strange energy that merged within.


    As if in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, there was a Taotie that devoured soul power.


    ¡°How quickly it¡¯s absorbed,¡± Qiu Bingzun was inwardly shocked.


    Gu You, too, felt a little puzzled by the side.

    ¡°Something¡¯s not right! He¡¯s not suffering a soul collapse!! It was an illusion!¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°It¡¯s soul reassembly.¡±


    Gu You¡¯s eyes brightened.


    She too noticed changes in Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura; at first, it was indeed a soul collapse, which happened very quickly¡­ but Li Yuan¡¯s strong will seemed to be supporting it the whole time, exerting all his strength, unwilling to give up.


    It seemed to last only a few seconds.


    But for a soul collapse, that was qualitatively significant¡­ and then, the last bit of Li Yuan¡¯s soul¡¯s spiritual light, like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, quietly elevated to a higher level.

 Chapter 603: 340: Semi-Divine Level Soul_2

    Chapter 603: Chapter 340: Semi-Divine Level Soul_2


    And then,


    Gu You felt the terrifying soul power contained within the two wonders provided by Qiu Bingzun pour into him.


    ¡°I lost out! There was no need to bring out a treasure,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Gu You revealed a smile. Although she had been deceived by the false appearance of Li Yuan¡¯s soul being shattered and prematurely handed over a treasure,


    she was incredibly excited and joyful in her heart.


    Because Li Yuan had survived, and as a Prime Warrior just awakening to a Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ he was destined to become even more frightful.


    ¡°Without destruction, there can be no establishment.¡±


    ¡°The Prime Warrior, with a frail body, desires his soul to transform into the Semi-Divine Level. He can¡¯t break through by normal means, the body cannot endure the soul¡¯s transformation¡­ The soul must continuously be honed to the Flying Heaven Limit. Once a breakthrough occurs and the body cannot withstand, the soul will collapse. In that collapse, to transform a spark of spiritual light with a strong willpower?¡± Qiu Bingzun pondered thoughtfully.


    He said he ¡®lost out¡¯, but the treasure had already been used, and regret was useless now.


    He then began to contemplate Li Yuan¡¯s situation.


    ¡°So it seems, the soul appears extremely fragile due to the collapse, but in essence, has already transformed?¡±


    ¡°The essence has broken through, to once again make the soul stronger?¡±


    ¡°Is this the true essence of the Prime Warrior reaching a Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Qiu Bingzun, after all, was a being at the True God Peak.


    Even if it was just a remaining Spiritual Imprint, his vision and knowledge were still there, giving rise to much speculation.


    There was no other way.


    The Prime Warrior, desiring to possess a Semi-Divine Level Soul, is even rarer than awakening the Seven Star Veins¡­ too few examples.


    Even Qiu Bingzun, in his life of over ten thousand years, had not truly encountered it, only heard of it.


    Li Yuan was the first he had personally witnessed.


    ¡°Maybe, should I let Liu Bing try it?¡± The thought emerged in Qiu Bingzun¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Forget it!¡±


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t have the terrifying willpower like Li Yuan¡­ Besides, even if Liu Bing¡¯s soul were to advance to Semi-Divine Level prematurely, she wouldn¡¯t reach Eight Star Veins, so it¡¯s not significant,¡± Qiu Bingzun dismissed the thought.


    Until now,


    Qiu Bingzun still felt that Li Yuan was engaging in futile efforts. Such desperate attempts to become Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ held little significance.


    The risk did not proportionally match the gain.


    ¡°Hmm? Someone is coming?¡± Qiu Bingzun sensed the activity outside the Quiet Chamber, and in an instant, he dissipated, already back inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Divine.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast is a Heaven Snake? It couldn¡¯t possibly be the legendary Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent,¡± Gu You thought to herself.


    Whoosh! She also returned to the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Both of them harboring their own thoughts, did not communicate further.


    ¡­


    Boom! The door of the Quiet Chamber burst open.


    Duanmu Hong finally rushed in¡­ The Quiet Chambers for Seven Star Mountain members¡¯ cultivation were set with multiple obstacles, ensuring that even if they encountered an attack from a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, they could resist for a considerable time.


    But as the Mountain Lord, Duanmu Hong had the highest authority of the Martial Divine Star Realm and naturally could open the Quiet Chamber.


    Swoosh!


    The moment Duanmu Hong rushed in, he saw Li Yuan lying on the ground, startling him before he froze in place.


    ¡°Such a powerful soul pressure,¡± Duanmu Hong caught his breath.


    In his perception, Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura was very weak, probably just reaching the Flying Heaven Level, as if he had been seriously injured¡­ but the emitted pressure was terrifying.


    ¡°A Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Duanmu Hong shocked himself internally: ¡°The Prime Warrior, possessing a Semi-Divine Level Soul? Within the history of my Seven Star Civilization, he should be the first case.¡±


    ¡°Just that,¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t his Life Crystal about to extinguish a moment ago? How in the blink of an eye, instead, his soul has transformed?¡± Duanmu Hong couldn¡¯t make sense of it.


    Thinking of this,


    he flipped his hand over and took out Li Yuan¡¯s Life Crystal, completely red, with no sign of it going out.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± A flash of shock crossed Duanmu Hong¡¯s eyes.


    Because, in his sense, Li Yuan¡¯s soul aura was breaking through at an unimaginable speed.


    Level 31, Level 32¡­ as if he had taken some grand tonic.


    ¡°Growing so quickly?¡±


    ¡°What has Li Yuan been through?¡± Duanmu Hong was increasingly amazed, he thought it over.


    Whew!


    He slowly exited the Quiet Chamber, then promptly closed the door, as if he had never come to Li Yuan¡¯s palace.


    For Duanmu Hong, confirming that Li Yuan was not dead was enough.


    ¡­


    ¡°Not soul collapse?¡±


    ¡°Instead, a breakthrough? A Semi-Divine Level Soul?¡± Dongfang Ji, who was in the Mysterious Flying Star Land, saw a glint of light flash in his eyes.


    Just now, he had been worried.


    In the blink of an eye, yet another piece of good news had been received¡­ The ups and downs couldn¡¯t be more dramatic. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Master, was it a success?¡± a low voice asked.


    ¡°Prime Warrior, the soul¡¯s transformation into Semi-Divine Level, it¡¯s truly unthinkable,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°The Seven Star Veins should be close to completion.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Seven Star Veins, it¡¯s almost certain they¡¯ll evolve into Eight Star Veins in the future,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    If it was Fang Hai that satisfied him,


    Then Li Yuan was a huge surprise.


    ¡°Tell Duanmu Hong, once Li Yuan recovers, have him come see me,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the low voice replied.


    ¡°What about the new Cultivation Technique inferred by the Mothership Mainframe, how is it?¡± Dongfang Ji changed the subject.


    ¡°Based on the large amount of data from newly emerged Flying Heaven Warriors¡¯ Star Meridians over the years¡­ the embryonic forms of the eighth and ninth high-rank techniques have been essentially perfected and can start to be gradually propagated,¡± the low voice said, ¡°Additionally, Master, I wish to obtain the data of Li Yuan¡¯s self-created techniques¡­ it might prepare us for the civilization¡¯s future premier general top-level technique.¡±


    ¡°Top-level technique? There¡¯s no rush!¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s situation is probably quite peculiar too, you should mainly continue gathering Flying Heaven Warrior data and use that as a blueprint for your inferences,¡± Dongfang Ji commanded.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Not a soul collapse but a breakthrough?¡± Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall, Liu Bing was overjoyed.


    ¡°I can sense it; my brother¡¯s soul is moving away from weakness, constantly getting stronger,¡± Liu Bing said.


    ¡°How could it not be strong?¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°With two special Soul Treasures¡­ his soul will recover very quickly.¡±


    ¡°Liu Bing!¡±


    ¡°Next time, I can¡¯t just listen to you so easily; we only have this much of a fortune¡­ we can¡¯t afford to squander it,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t big brother regained consciousness yet?¡± Liu Bing¡¯s focus was still on Li Yuan and still somewhat worried.


    ¡°He was too exhausted before.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯ll likely have to sleep for a while,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan was indeed fatigued.


    When he sensed the sudden collapse of his soul, he was completely stupefied; his soul¡¯s essence was in the midst of transformation¡­ how could it suddenly collapse?


    In the moment of life or death, he couldn¡¯t care too much and could only do his utmost to maintain the completeness of his soul.


    With his soul constantly dissipating, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness became increasingly blurred.


    Until the moment of achievement, Li Yuan vaguely understood¡­ soul collapse was indeed a part of the breakthrough.


    Simultaneously, he also faintly sensed the external aura.


    ¡°Qiu Bingzun? He really is inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.¡±


    ¡°Gu You also came out.¡± Only when Li Yuan¡¯s heart completely relaxed did the fatigue stemming from his soul surge forward, along with the extreme weakness of his soul,


    He actually fell directly into a deep sleep.


    While within his body, two Soul Wonders were continuously exerting their effects, constantly strengthening his soul.


    Time passed.


    One day, two days, three days¡­ This sleep lasted more than ten days before Li Yuan finally awoke.


    Ten days felt like the blink of an eye.


    Because he was so exhausted, there was no dreaming¡­ For a Semi-Divine Level soul, fatigue was almost nonexistent, and there was usually no need for sleep anymore.


    ¡°My spiritual power.¡± Li Yuan immediately noticed the change, his powerful Divine Sense easily penetrated the Quiet Chamber, and then swept over the palace¡¯s surrounding area.


    Then extended even farther.


    Until it reached the dwellings of other Seven Star Mountain members¡­ Those Origin Power Arrays capable of resisting the Inquiry of Flying Heaven Level Divine Sense seemed non-existent in front of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense.


    ¡°Lanyue is practicing spear techniques.¡±


    ¡°Dantai Feng¡­ is on a call with his high school classmate.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, this one is daydreaming.¡±


    ¡­ Centered on Li Yuan, everything within a five-kilometer radius seemed to be under his Divine Sense Inquiry.


    No one detected they were being observed by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is this what it¡¯s like to have a Semi-Divine Level soul?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the Divine Palace panel and suddenly froze.


    ¡ª¡ª

    Chapter 604: Chapter 341 Seven Star Veins (Add more 4)


    ¡°45 in spiritual power?¡±


    ¡°But didn¡¯t I just break through? And my soul had dispersed once before, it should be weak now, so how has it become so strong?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the two prompts on the Divine Palace panel.


    [Your spiritual power has reached level 40, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening has been raised to 70%]


    [Your spiritual power has reached level 44, the upper limit for Spiritual Awakening has been raised to 75%]


    Reaching level 40 in spiritual power, Li Yuan could understand.


    But level 45? How did this happen? Li Yuan immediately thought of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun just before he fell asleep.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°Having reached a 75% limit for Spiritual Awakening is worth the great price I paid.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled with light.


    With the limit reached, the next step was to accumulate enough Spirituality Nourishment¡­ then he could initiate the third Spiritual Guidance.


    The Eight Star Veins were hopeful.


    Li Yuan had risked advancing to the Semi-Divine level for this very reason.


    ¡°However, after the Six Star Pulse, awakening the Life Star becomes increasingly difficult.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°The third guidance, can I successfully awaken the Eight Star Veins?¡±


    Li Yuan was not absolutely certain.


    But regardless of success or failure, he had already given his all, and had no regrets nor anything left undone.


    ¡­Just as Li Yuan was pondering.


    ¡°Big brother! Have you finally awakened?¡± a crisp voice sounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    It was Liu Bing¡¯s Soul Transmission Sound, her voice laced with excitement.


    ¡°Yes, just woke up.¡± Li Yuan responded, sensing the fluctuations in Liu Bing¡¯s emotions, which appeared to be extremely joyful.


    ¡°Liu Bing,¡±


    ¡°Did I see Qiu Bingzun? Is he at the Heavenly Snake Hall? Did you all save me?¡± Li Yuan asked continuously.


    ¡°Big brother, send a strand of your thoughts into the Heavenly Snake Hall.¡± Liu Bing said consecutively, ¡°Elder Qiu¡­ is indeed here with me.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    ¡­


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall, the vast main hall.


    Whoosh! An invisible force entered, already forming Li Yuan¡¯s phantom¡­ With a Semi-Divine Level Soul, effortlessly forming Divine Sense Phantoms, and even splitting into many thoughts.


    Just like leaving a Spiritual Imprint, Divine Sense Phantoms¡­ many techniques had become usable.


    A Semi-Divine Level Soul was far superior to the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Liu Bing.¡± Li Yuan immediately saw the massive green Flying Serpent in the hall, its life aura much more robust than it was years ago, its body scales much more exquisite.


    As if it were a delicate piece of art.


    Over the years, Li Yuan and Liu Bing often communicated through the soul, but had not truly met.


    ¡°Big brother.¡± Liu Bing was incredibly excited, flapping her wings, her large body rapidly shrinking, trying to coil around Li Yuan¡¯s arm.


    Unfortunately,


    this was just a projection of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense, it was illusory¡­ hence, Liu Bing¡¯s affectionate gesture was doomed to fail.


    ¡°It will be fine once you get out,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Whirl! Numerous beams of light converged, forming a muscular, uni-horned silhouette on one side.


    ¡°Elder Qiu,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly in greeting.


    ¡°I have come out with the Heavenly Snake Hall, and kept it from you all this while,¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled and said, ¡°I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡±


    ¡°You did it for Liu Bing¡¯s sake.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°With Elder pointing the way for Liu Bing, her growth will surely be smoother.¡±


    ¡°As long as you don¡¯t mind,¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled.


    ¡°I must also thank Elder this time,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°If not for the treasure you gave, my soul wouldn¡¯t have recovered so quickly.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t thank me,¡±


    ¡°Thank Liu Bing,¡± Qiu Bingzun waved his hand, ¡°If not for her insistence on saving you, I wouldn¡¯t have been willing to use that Soul Treasure¡­ that treasure was left for Liu Bing by a Heavenly Divine of our tribe, originally meant to help her break through to the Eight Star Veins when reaching the Semi-Divine level.¡±


    ¡°That valuable?¡± Li Yuan was astonished; he had assumed it was at most a Fifth Rank Soul Treasure.


    Left by a Heavenly Divine?


    It might well be a Sixth or even Seventh Rank Soul Treasure, and being able to allow a merely Prime Warrior like himself use it¡­ must be a very particular type.


    At least, the Seven Star Civilization would not be able to produce it.


    ¡°At the time, your condition was soul collapse, ordinary treasures were useless, and you were too weak, some overly powerful treasures would be more harmful than beneficial to you¡­ in short, just thank Liu Bing,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    For Liu Bing¡¯s sake, Qiu Bingzun was willing to be the ¡°bad guy¡±.


    ¡°Liu Bing, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Li Yuan said with a wry smile, ¡°Had I known, such a treasure should not have been used on me.¡±


    ¡°Big brother, it¡¯s just a treasure, when we team up to venture into the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains in the future, are you worried we won¡¯t be able to get treasures?¡± Liu Bing said carelessly, ¡°As long as you are alright, big brother.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart warmed.


    ¡°Just next time, big brother, try not to take such risks,¡± Liu Bing wagged her head, ¡°It¡¯s too scary, I was nearly frightened to death.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be more careful in the future,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Big brother, how do you feel now?¡± Liu Bing asked eagerly, ¡°For a Prime Warrior becoming a Semi-Divine Level Soul, awakening the Life Star should be incredibly easy.¡±


    ¡°I should soon achieve the Seven Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    A soul reaching level 45 was far more powerful than when at level 39.9¡­ absolutely a Transformation.


    In fact, Li Yuan had already divided most of his Mental Consciousness, attempting to sense within the Life Starry Sky.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡±


    ¡°You really didn¡¯t have to push yourself so hard,¡± Qiu Bingzun suddenly spoke, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Now having a Semi-Divine Level Soul, even at the Prime Warrior stage, awakening more Life Stars¡­ becoming a Seven Star Vein is only a matter of time.¡±


    ¡°Just for a few more years, it¡¯s unnecessary.¡±


    ¡°You are risking too much.¡±


    ¡°This time, if your Willpower hadn¡¯t been strong enough, allowing your Soul to transform in extreme circumstances, you might have truly perished,¡± Qiu Bingzun shook his head, ¡°On the path of cultivation, sometimes you need to strive! But at least the rewards and risks should be proportional.¡±


    ¡°In your current stage, you can securely cultivate to the Flying Heaven Peak, then pursue the Eight Star Veins.¡±

    Chapter 605: Chapter 341 Seven Star Veins (Add more 4)_2


    Li Yuan smiled and didn¡¯t explain much further.


    Indeed!


    In the eyes of Qiu Bingzun, Gu You, and even the Alliance Hierarch, his actions must have seemed somewhat rash.


    Because, normally speaking, whether his soul underwent metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level or not, it would most likely still result in the Seven Star Veins.


    And that involved immense risk.


    However, this was mainly because they didn¡¯t know that he could perform Spiritual Guidance.


    Only by undergoing Soul Metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level could he accomplish the third Spiritual Guidance.


    ¡°According to the Divine Palace¡¯s hint, a 44th rank spiritual power is needed for the Spiritual Awakening limit to reach 75%,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Without nearly half a year of pushing his soul to the limit in pursuit of the extreme,


    how long would it take for his soul to undergo metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine level and gradually grow to the 44th rank?


    Li Yuan felt that, with normal cultivation, even another 20 years might not suffice.


    There is a fundamental difference between a Prime Warrior achieving the Eight Star Veins and a Flying Heaven level achieving the Eight Star Veins.


    The Mind Spirit Divine Palace can indeed help oneself.


    But the extent to which it can be utilized is related to one¡¯s own self.


    Just like before, if Li Yuan hadn¡¯t cultivated with such mad fervor, he might have faced the risk of death during the first anomaly of the Great Sun Jade Platform.


    ¡°Senior Qiu,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll be more careful in the future.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Qiu Bingzun also noticed that Li Yuan seemed to have other plans,


    and naturally, didn¡¯t say much more.


    ¡°Big Brother, aside from the treasure Senior Qiu used,¡± Liu Bing said, ¡°there was another person who also used a treasure to help you.¡±


    ¡­


    Almost simultaneously,


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be so reckless next time,¡± Gu You admonished as she looked at Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense avatar, shaking her head, ¡°Cultivation requires effort, but it should be moderate.¡±


    ¡°Sister,¡±


    ¡°I want to attempt to break through to the Eight Star Veins,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Is it possible without madness?¡±


    ¡°You still haven¡¯t thought of giving up?¡± Gu You couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°It was so difficult for you to become a Semi-Divine level soul¡­ Do you understand how challenging the Eight Star Veins are?¡±


    ¡°Only by giving it my all will I have no regrets,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    To Gu You, compared to when facing Qiu Bingzun, he could reveal more secrets and thoughts,


    But regarding the Mind Spirit Divine Palace¡­ he couldn¡¯t speak openly.


    ¡°Sister, thank you for this time,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°That treasure must be quite precious, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s no bother.¡±


    ¡°That treasure was originally intended as a gift for you upon your ascension to Semi-Divine and passing the fourth trial,¡± the young girl looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Given your rate of strength improvement, passing the fourth trial wouldn¡¯t be difficult¡­ so it is much like giving the treasure to you in advance.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve said before, I am merely keeping the Ancient Divine Palace on your behalf.¡±


    ¡°When it¡¯s time to give my father¡¯s treasure to you, I will naturally do so,¡± the girl said. ¡°If that treasure can be of some use, it is worth it.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded without hesitation.


    He could clearly sense the differences in attitude among Gu You, Qiu Bingzun, and Liu Bing.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking carefully just now,¡±


    ¡°If you want to attempt for the Eight Star Veins, there is indeed a glimmer of hope,¡± the young girl regarded Li Yuan. ¡°After all, you are only 25 years old, with another 20 years¡­ and your soul metamorphosis makes awakening your Life Star easier.¡±


    ¡°In any case,¡±


    ¡°Whatever you do, I support you¡­ just be sure to be careful,¡± Gu You advised.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    This near-collapse of his soul, it seems, really frightened both Liu Bing and Gu You.


    ¡­


    After concluding his exchanges in the Heavenly Snake Hall and the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan devoted himself entirely to adapting to the Semi-Divine level soul.


    ¡°The range of my Divine Sense inquiry is dozens of times that of the past, reaching five kilometers in all directions.¡±


    ¡°And under my Divine Sense detection, ordinary things can¡¯t escape at all, not even the Origin Power Array,¡± Li Yuan marveled: ¡°When I perform an inquiry, it seems that even the Divine Sense of Flying Heaven level can¡¯t detect it.¡±


    Li Yuan had already understood the difference between Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine.


    When encountering head-on, a Flying Heaven expert wouldn¡¯t notice a thing, while everything would already be exposed before a Semi-Divine.


    ¡°No wonder it¡¯s always said in the archives,¡±


    ¡°That the Semi-Divine guardians of various planets often patrol globally,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°To probe a ten-kilometer area with a single thought¡­ While flying at high speeds, it would be extremely difficult for the Flying Heaven Alien Race to avoid detection.¡±


    In one word,


    A Semi-Divine level soul alone, with merely its Divine Sense, could already have many marvelous uses.


    ¡°A powerful soul is also much clearer in sensing the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth than before,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness extended, sensing the waves of mysteries contained within all things.


    Clear!


    Not just the Mysteries of Earth, the Mysteries of Wind¡­ the fluctuations of many other mysteries were clearer, too.


    Even Li Yuan had the illusion that if he were to comprehend the Mysteries of Fire, the Mysteries of Water, etc., and spent a few more years, he might be able to condense True Intent.


    ¡°This is the advantage of having a strong foundation,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    A Demigod comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth was much more efficient than a Flying Heaven level¡­ This was also why the strong, once they sensed their foundation was nearly at its limit, would strive to break through rapidly.


    Lifespan is limited!


    Even a True God has only thirty thousand years of life¡­ The earlier one breaks through with a strong foundation, the greater the hope of reaching higher levels.


    Like a Demigod whose lifespan is a thousand years¡­ if one remained at the Flying Heaven level for two to three hundred years, the hope of Ascending to God would be too slim.


    ¡°Combat.¡±


    ¡°With a Semi-Divine Level soul, cultivate spiritual secret techniques,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°In Flying Heaven level battles, it¡¯s extremely effective.¡±


    Previously, Li Yuan rarely spent time cultivating spiritual secret techniques because his soul was only at the limit of Flying Heaven, while his opponents were all Flying Heaven Peak experts¡­ The use of spiritual secret techniques was minimal, only causing slight disturbances.


    Naturally not worth wasting time on.


    But now, Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had reached level 45, and the situation was entirely different.


    ¡°If I cultivate some extremely domineering spiritual secret techniques, I have the hope of sweeping through the ordinary Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°Even a Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, with a will of great tenacity and strength, would be greatly affected, even distracted for a long time.¡±


    When the soul levels of each other are close, the use of spiritual secret techniques is minimal.


    However, when one¡¯s soul level completely surpasses that of the opponent, the effect is still great.


    ¡°Perhaps, I should truly choose a spiritual secret technique now,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°In the short term, my opponents will mainly be at the Flying Heaven level.¡±


    Demigod?


    A casual attack from a Demigod would be enough to annihilate me.


    ¡­


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly discovered a message transmission from Duanmu Hong.


    The content was simple, asking Li Yuan to meet with Dongfang Ji when he was awake and had time.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush to meet the Alliance Hierarch¡­¡±


    ¡°Things like cultivating spiritual secret techniques can also be delayed,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°Let¡¯s try, first, to awaken more Life Stars.¡±


    Hadn¡¯t he strived for so long to become a Semi-Divine Level soul just for the purpose of awakening the Star Meridians?


    Boom!


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s mind became singular, and his mental consciousness completely merged into the Life Starry Sky¡¯s space.


    ¡°Perception, much clearer than before,¡± Li Yuan exerted his full effort in sensing, ¡°Although nowhere near Spiritual Guidance¡­ it¡¯s definitely dozens of times stronger than before.¡±


    Swoosh~ sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan¡¯s strong mental consciousness instantly divided into a multitude of thoughts, following the pulsations of the Star Meridians and past experiences of awakening Life Stars in an attempt to awaken even more¡­


    One!


    Two!


    Ten!


    ¡­ as time passed, half a month flew by in the blink of an eye, and the efficiency of awakening Life Stars with a Semi-Divine Level Soul far surpassed the past.


    In such a short period, although the Seven Star Veins had not yet awakened, Li Yuan had once again awakened more than a thousand Life Stars.


    Fewer failures,


    Clearly, a Semi-Divine Level Soul had significantly increased the efficiency of Li Yuan awakening the Star Meridians.


    The upper limit was greatly raised.


    ¡­ Another two days later, after once more awakening a Life Star.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes with a realization, a hint of surprise in his gaze, ¡°Seven Star Veins!!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s finally happening!¡± Li Yuan could feel the rapid changes in his body.


    Within the Life Starry Sky¡¯s space.


    Among the countless, chaotically scattered Life Stars, a portion of the Life Stars.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Exactly 12,960 Life Stars, as if attracted by a strange force, had connected with one another, and then immediately set into motion.


    Like a cosmic orbit.


    Truly alive.


    ¡­ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Li Yuan¡¯s body surface radiated layers of dazzling light.


    Seven Star Meridians interwove like beams of light.


    Some Star Meridians were incredibly bright, while others were relatively dim, and one was extremely faint, almost drowned out by the brilliance of the other lights.


    But regardless of their strength, they were ultimately Seven Star Veins, shining together.


    In the history of the Seven Star Civilization, the first Second Rank Seven Star Veins came into existence quietly.

 Chapter 606: 342: The Strength of Li Yuan

    Chapter 606: Chapter 342: The Strength of Li Yuan


    Seven Star Mountain, within the quiet chamber of the palace.


    ¡°Seven Star Veins have been established.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, the entire Life Starry Sky has become much more brilliant, but the pressure on my soul has also greatly increased, and the speed of awakening the Life Star has clearly slowed down significantly,¡± Li Yuan reflected silently.


    Awakening the Seven Star Veins, in a short time, does not greatly improve one¡¯s strength, it¡¯s all in preparation for reaching the Flying Heaven Level and even the Demigod level.


    Star Technique? With Li Yuan¡¯s current body, even after cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± carrying four Star Techniques was already pushing the limit.


    Like other Prime Warriors, most could only cultivate two Star Techniques, and usually, they did not surpass the Fifth Layers Star Technique.


    ¡°However, awakening an additional Star Vein at least significantly increases the speed of my Origin Power recovery,¡± Li Yuan sensed the changes in the Sea of Origin Power.


    Now, with seven Star Veins in operation, among which three were Perfect Star Veins and the other three were also of high grade, even without condensing an Origin Pill, the recovery speed was no less than that of a Flying Heaven Middle Stage.


    With this in mind, when deploying the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± the Supreme Star Technique, he would be able to endure in battle even longer.


    ¡°I¡¯ll first tell Lanyue and Gu You,¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Then, it¡¯s time to meet with the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    It had been almost half a month since he last received a message from Duanmu Hong.


    Just as he opened his smart wristband, Li Yuan found quite a few unread messages.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Muhua and Qian Qian even sent me birthday wishes a few days ago?¡± Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile; between his cultivations, he would occasionally still communicate with his family.


    ¡°It¡¯s September already.¡± Li Yuan felt quite emotional, as he had now turned 25 years old.


    Time really flies.


    ¡°Qian Qian graduated from college and is preparing to start a fashion design company?¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Muhua is also about to begin the life-and-death adventures in the Star Realm.¡±


    Years had passed, and Li Yuan¡¯s strength had transformed, causing great changes among his friends and relatives.


    Like his younger brother Li Muhua, who was admitted to Kunlun Martial University years ago, with Li Yuan¡¯s help and his own talent and hard work, became an elite in Kunlun, and has now become a Prime Warrior.


    Although far from meeting the standards of the Martial Divine Hall, in Li Yuan¡¯s view, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to become a Top-Level Origin Martial Artist in the future, and there was even hope to become a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ Li Yuan would naturally do his utmost to help his brother.


    As for other friends.


    Like Alicia, Tian Dazhuang, Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, and other peers were now each Top-Level Origin Martial Artists. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Alicia had already comprehended True Intent and was known alongside Lin Lanyue as the two most dazzling new stars of Seven Star Mountain.


    Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang both became members of Seven Star Mountain this year; given their age, it was also quite impressive¡­ As for geniuses like Luo Chan and An Yongya, many had successively broken through to become Flying Heaven Warriors.


    A generation of newcomers replaces the old.


    In the current Martial God Realm, the deeds of people like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef are fading away, rarely mentioned anymore¡­ such is the magic of time.


    ¡°I wonder how the principal is doing,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally.


    Since the battle years ago when Fang Hai slew a Demigod, which shook many Foreign Civilizations, there had been no news of him.


    In the meantime, Li Yuan had sent several messages through V-communication¡­ all without any reply.


    Not long after.


    ¡°Does the Alliance Hierarch have time?¡± Li Yuan received a reply from the Mountain Lord, Dongfang Ji is waiting for you in the usual place.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan stepped out of the quiet chamber and flew towards the palace on the mountaintop, where Duanmu Hong¡¯s residence contained a passage to that mysterious place.


    And whether it was the Ancient Divine Palace or the Heavenly Snake Hall, Li Yuan did not bring them along.


    ¡­


    ¡°Seven Star Veins? Finally achieved!¡± Gu You showed a smile, having just noticed the change in Li Yuan¡¯s Star Veins.


    ¡°With a Semi-Divine Level Soul, awakening the Life Star is indeed faster,¡± Gu You thought to herself. ¡°But to become Eight Star Veins?¡±


    She shook her head, still feeling that the hope was slim.


    ¡­


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Haha, big brother really did it.¡±


    Liu Bing swayed her body, her voice excited: ¡°At 25, from the weakest life in the Mortal Domain, he has risen step by step to become a Second Rank Seven Star Veins warrior, truly unimaginable.¡±


    ¡°Indeed unimaginable,¡± agreed Qiu Bingzun softly.


    ¡°However, this should be his limit,¡± Qiu Bingzun said quietly.


    ¡°Senior Qiu, I think, big brother has the potential to go further and create a legend,¡± Liu Bing spoke. ¡°He¡¯s only 25 years old.¡±


    ¡°Whether he¡¯s 25 or even 30, that¡¯s not the point,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°The important thing is, he lacks resources, he lacks a good enough external environment¡­¡±


    Qiu Bingzun remained steadfast in his views.


    ¡°Think about yourself,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Liu Bing. ¡°Born with Seven Star Veins, do you think you have a chance to reach Eight Star Veins at the Second Rank?¡±


    Liu Bing was left speechless, feeling the hope was faint.


    ¡°Big brother is different,¡± Liu Bing shook her head. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, Senior Qiu, let¡¯s make a bet.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the bet?¡± Qiu Bingzun became interested.


    ¡°If big brother can achieve Second Rank Eight Star Veins, from now on, you must keep a closer eye on big brother and give him as much guidance as possible,¡± Liu Bing proposed with a sly smile. ¡°If big brother faces danger, you must do your best to help him.¡±


    ¡°And if he doesn¡¯t reach it?¡± Qiu Bingzun asked with a smile.


    ¡°Then from now on, I will definitely practice harder,¡± Liu Bing said earnestly. ¡°Not to let your old man down.¡±


    ¡­


    Sigh!


    Passing through the mysterious pathway in Duanmu Mountain Master¡¯s palace, Li Yuan soon arrived at that mysterious place.


    ¡°Is this a Cave Heaven World?¡± Li Yuan sensed the nothingness around him.


    When he had visited before, Li Yuan only felt everything was mysterious.


    But now, having undergone a transformation, in both True Intent Comprehension and Soul Realm, he had reached the Semi-Divine level¡­ In short, in terms of observing and sensing the world, he was now of Semi-Divine caliber.


    Coming here again, he naturally could perceive the difference.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan crossed through the void, arriving in front of the vague figure, and respectfully saluted.

 Chapter 607: 342 Li Yuans Strength_2

    Chapter 607: Chapter 342 Li Yuan¡¯s Strength_2


    ¡°You transformed into a semi-divine level soul quite some time ago, why did you only come to see me now?¡± Dongfang Ji asked with a hint of a smile in his voice.


    ¡°I had some insights, so I continued cultivating after my soul metamorphosis.¡± Li Yuan responded, ¡°Now that I have awakened the Seven Star Veins in one breath¡­ I immediately came to see the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°You¡¯ve already become Seven Star Veins? So quickly? Show it to me.¡±


    Even though he had anticipated Li Yuan would achieve Seven Star Veins,


    Dongfang Ji was still delighted when it was confirmed.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan did not hide it and with a thought, immediately emitted a hazy earthy yellow glow around his body.


    The light was dazzling, with faintly visible seven threads, six brilliant and one somewhat dim¡­ undoubtedly Seven Star Veins.


    Perfect Star Vein and Nine Layer Star Vein, Eight Layer Star Vein when manifested outwardly, are very hard to distinguish from the divine radiance that shines, making it very difficult to determine.


    ¡°Ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Seven Star Veins, indeed it is Seven Star Veins.¡± Dongfang Ji revealed a smile, his eyes twinkling with a glint of light, ¡°A Second Rank Seven Star Vein, not only a first in our Seven Star Civilization but perhaps the first in the entire Dimensional Domain in a million years.¡±


    ¡°A million years?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously, ¡°Were there ever Second Rank Seven Star Veins born in the Dimensional Domain before that?¡±


    Only by truly cultivating did Li Yuan understand the immense difficulty in giving birth to Second Rank Seven Star Veins. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°Time is infinite, but life span is limited.¡± Dongfang Ji laughed, ¡°The Dimensional Domain is vast, many civilizations rise and fall, even True Gods can only live for thirty thousand years, the legendary Heavenly Divine can only live for three hundred thousand years¡­ Even a powerful civilization like the Immortal Ruins Civilization only has a history of a million years.¡±


    ¡°Being able to trace back the history of the Dimensional Domain to a million years ago is already quite impressive.¡±


    ¡°I can almost confirm that you are the strongest Prime Warrior in the entire Dimensional Domain for the past million years,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°but the entire Dimensional Domain is definitely in the order of billions of years.¡±


    ¡°What about an even older era?¡±


    ¡°Perhaps the Dimensional Domain once gave birth to Heavenly Divine, gave birth to Second Rank Seven Star Veins and even Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡­ but they have all perished in the sands of time,¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    Li Yuan nodded silently, recognizing that even the most powerful beings feel helpless in the face of the nearly infinite expanse of the starry sky.


    Heavenly Divine? Even Heavenly Divine could only live for three hundred thousand years.


    Like the Heavenly Serpent Clan, how powerful they were, yet according to Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s understanding, they only endured tens of millions of years despite many trials and tribulations.


    ¡°Don¡¯t dwell on the past, it only adds to one¡¯s worries,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°At least, you are currently the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°What are your plans next?¡± Dongfang Ji asked, ¡°When are you planning to become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I plan to first clear the Second Level Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Then, I will continue concealed cultivation and try to break through to Eight Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°After becoming Eight Star Veins, then I will become a Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan stated solemnly.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡± Dongfang Ji was slightly surprised: ¡°Are you confident?¡±


    This was the first time Li Yuan revealed his ambition to Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Thirty percent,¡± Li Yuan estimated after a thought.


    Though he had the help of the third Spiritual Guidance, achieving Second Rank Eight Star Veins was still legendary even in the Divine Realm¡­ Li Yuan was eighty percent confident.


    But not wanting to exaggerate, he said only thirty percent.


    Letting the Alliance Hierarch have some psychological preparation was enough.


    ¡°Thirty percent?¡± Dongfang Ji was already quite surprised.


    His vision was not ordinary and he knew very well what Second Rank Eight Star Veins meant.


    ¡°You have two True God Heritages, you should be clear about the difficulty of Second Rank Eight Star Veins, still dare to say fifty percent¡­ I understand,¡± Dongfang Ji acknowledged as he looked at Li Yuan: ¡°No wonder you previously desperately spent over 2,000,000 Points to exchange for treasures, and strived for a soul metamorphosis, nearly perishing, the risk was extreme.¡±


    ¡°At that time I was somewhat puzzled.¡±


    ¡°So, you wanted to attempt for Eight Star Veins,¡± Dongfang Ji understood Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins.¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head slightly, ¡°If you truly pursue the limit, I¡¯m afraid it might take ten, twenty years, can you endure such agony?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    If the third Spiritual Guidance failed, Li Yuan would still try his best to reach it.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you can try to pursue it.¡±


    ¡°But I think, if the gap is too large, there¡¯s no need to force it. Our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s cultivation conditions are ultimately too poor,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan: ¡°Second Rank Seven Star Veins¡­ are already quite good.¡±


    Dongfang Ji had a very high perspective.


    He and Qiu Bingzun alike, after a bit of thought and analysis, felt that Li Yuan¡¯s hopes of achieving Eight Star Veins were bleak.


    Spending another ten or twenty years might also be futile.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance to pursue the limit, not to try would easily lead to regret later on,¡± Li Yuan said frankly, smiling: ¡°My nature is such.¡±


    Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, suddenly recalling many of Li Yuan¡¯s past deeds.


    In his first year, despite already progressing rapidly, Li Yuan still took great risks to use the ¡®Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow¡¯, and his persistent attempt to reach the semi-divine level soul¡­ how similar.


    ¡°Moreover.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Haven¡¯t you said before? Not even True Gods have hope of controlling the secrets of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡±


    Dongfang Ji somewhat understood.


    ¡°I have True God Heritage, with some understanding. The direct disciples of Heavenly Divine are mostly Eight Star Veins geniuses,¡± Li Yuan elaborated solemnly: ¡°That is, achieving Second Rank Seven Star Veins, competing in the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine to metamorphose into Eight Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°They, all can be called unparalleled geniuses.¡±


    Dongfang Ji nodded involuntarily.


    ¡°But among them, hardly one in ten becomes Heavenly Divine,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°If I am like them, achieving Second Rank Eight Star Veins, would I be able to Ascend to Heavenly God in the future?¡±

 Chapter 608: 342: Li Yuans Strength_3

    Chapter 608: Chapter 342: Li Yuan¡¯s Strength_3


    ¡°My cultivation environment isn¡¯t even as good as theirs, if I don¡¯t fight for it, the hope to ascend to Heavenly God might be even smaller than that of those peerless geniuses.¡±


    Dongfang Ji was speechless and felt shocked in his heart.


    Heavenly God?


    It was something he could never have imagined.


    Li Yuan dared to set his sights on becoming a Heavenly God.


    ¡°Our plane,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes blazed, ¡°was destroyed by the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain in the last civilization. As you said, Alliance Hierarch, if we don¡¯t work hard enough¡­ the entire future of our civilization is at risk of annihilation.¡±


    ¡°So, because the True Gods can¡¯t control the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, you want to become a Heavenly God?¡± Dongfang Ji stared at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was only Second Rank.


    And he dared to think about becoming a Heavenly God?


    For a moment, Dongfang Ji didn¡¯t know whether to say that Li Yuan was ambitiously far-sighted or arrogantly overconfident.


    A Heavenly God!


    Even in the Divine Realm, that was an existence standing at the peak.


    ¡°The path to becoming a Heavenly God is very distant for me, and the road to ascension is even more illusory,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°Therefore, I can only seize the opportunity and strive to do my best.¡±


    ¡°There will be danger,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head. ¡°This soul transformation of yours almost led to your downfall.¡±


    ¡°Wanting great achievements without willing to take any risks, does such a good thing exist in this world?¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°Alliance Hierarch, have you not experienced life-and-death dangers on your cultivation journey?¡±


    ¡°The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle,¡± Li Yuan said emphatically.


    Li Yuan said no more.


    The enemies of the Heavenly Serpent Clan could kill even a Heavenly God.


    The enemies of the Ancient Torch Divine, were suspected to be the True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, a civilization also coveting the Seven Star Civilization.


    Currently, the Seven Star Civilization seemed to be in no crisis, Li Yuan¡¯s family and loved ones were also at peace.


    Indeed, for a very long time, Li Yuan¡¯s normal growth was also very dazzling¡­ but the lurking dangers of the future forced Li Yuan to consider more.


    If there was no chance to achieve Second Rank Eight Star Veins, so be it.


    But with a great opportunity to forge a foundation that surpassed the disciples of the Heavenly Gods, Li Yuan naturally chose to take a gamble.


    ¡°Ha ha,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°In your bones, you only believe in yourself,¡± Dongfang Ji sighed lightly.


    In that moment, Dongfang Ji understood the difference between Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    Fang Hai was the type with a very steady personality and was also willing to believe in others.


    In his heart, Fang Hai actually thought he would find it difficult to surpass Dongfang Ji and admired him greatly.


    But Li Yuan was different.


    In his bones, he had a kind of obsession; once he accepted a responsibility, he wanted to carry it forward completely instead of relying on others.


    Sometimes, this is stubbornness!


    Even, it could be said to be madness.


    But geniuses are indeed obstinate.


    Without a heart determined to be the strongest and not inferior to anyone, it is very hard to reach the ultimate peak.


    A strong person can be defeated by an enemy, but their spirit must not be defeated.


    ¡­


    ¡°You have already created miracles,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°I will give you advice and the utmost help; it¡¯s up to you to make the choice.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    The full support of the Alliance Hierarch was excellent.


    ¡°You just mentioned that you want to sweep the Second Level Star Realm?¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Now, do you have the confidence to battle Duanmu Hong?¡±


    ¡°Among the level 36 Flying Heaven Star Lords, he is of average strength, and his comprehension of True Intent is not far from the Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Duanmu Mountain Lord?¡± Li Yuan thought for a moment, then said, ¡°Given a bit more time, I should be able to match or even defeat Duanmu Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°Defeat?¡± A light seemed to flash in Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes. ¡°Are you really confident?¡±


    ¡°I am,¡± Li Yuan truly was.


    Several years ago, during a battle with the level 36 Myriad Scales Beast Emperor in the Ming Xu Star Realm, Li Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage and only managed to win using the authority of the Mothership.


    In terms of power, Duanmu Hong was far superior to the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor; though their True Intent comprehension was similar, Duanmu Hong held absolute advantages in weapons, treasures, Star Technique, and many other aspects.


    Especially Star Techniques!


    Li Yuan estimated that Duanmu Hong had cultivated at least four Star Techniques, with no shortage of Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor? Back then, he had only cultivated one Star Technique.


    But today¡¯s Li Yuan was different from before.


    ¡°Fundamentally, I am at an absolute disadvantage, with a full six-level gap.¡±


    ¡°In terms of Star Technique, I am also at a slight disadvantage,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°But in the Mysteries of True Intent, I should far surpass Duanmu Mountain Lord, which should compensate for most of the disadvantage.¡±


    The most critical point was that of the Semi-Divine Level Soul.


    Once he had cultivated the Spiritual Secret Technique, he could inflict severe impact, which gave Li Yuan enough confidence.


    ¡°It seems.¡±


    ¡°This period, you¡¯ve made progress again in the comprehension of True Intent,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed.


    Li Yuan smiled.


    The breakthrough in the True Meaning of Wind had indeed strengthened his Spear Technique quite a bit.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°your awakening of the Seven Star Veins, and the stronger star veins, indicate a stronger spiritual power, higher skill mysteries¡­ I believe in your strength.¡±


    ¡°But.¡±


    ¡°When venturing into the Second Level Star Realm, you must still be cautious, especially those with demigods, you must avoid them,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°And for those Star Realms that may harbor Flying Heaven Limit Experts, you should also stay clear.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Duanmu Mountain Master could be considered to possess the normal 36th level combat power, ranking among the extremely strong within the Flying Heaven Peak.


    But there are even stronger ones among the 36th level Flying Heaven, those whose True Intent Comprehension has reached the Sixth Stage Perfection (Demigod Level), these experts are usually called Flying Heaven Limit Experts.


    They are on the verge of making a breakthrough to demigodhood at any moment.


    If Li Yuan were to encounter a Flying Heaven Limit Expert, he was not confident he could win, but he did have hope of protecting himself.


    Stronger than that? There were those like Fang Hai before he achieved the Seven Star Veins, also at the 36th level, but had already stepped into the Threshold of the Law¡­ his combat power was nearly that of a demigod.


    If he encountered a Flying Heaven Warrior who was nearly a demigod, Li Yuan admitted to himself, he would definitely not be the match.


    A demigod?


    A gap of two whole major realms, not a sliver of hope of winning! It was a matter of dying in one move or two.


    ¡°You go back first.¡±


    ¡°I will provide you with the list of Star Realms as soon as possible,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Those that pose a huge threat, are rich in resources, yet don¡¯t have too powerful enemies in the Second Level Star Realms¡­ all need to be swept clean.¡±


    ¡°Also, the attacks must be swift.¡±


    ¡°Once you make a move in one Star Realm, the other Star Realms will definitely receive the news very quickly,¡± Dongfang Ji earnestly said, ¡°They will likely retreat rapidly and go into hiding.¡±


    ¡°Once they hide.¡±


    ¡°It will be difficult for you to search each Star Realm one by one,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°I understand.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    For example, in the Rob Sea Star Realm, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, with the ground even deeper by thousands of kilometers, if a Flying Heaven Warrior hid deep in the ground, even with a Semi-Divine Level Soul, how long would it take to search?


    How long would it take to scour numerous Star Realms?


    It was like trying to catch fish in a lake.


    ¡°Let me know when you are about to depart,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    Not long after,


    Li Yuan returned to the Seven Star Mountain, quickly placed orders in the Seven Stars Treasury, and purchased some treasures.


    ¡°This time, I can only act under the identity of the Spirit Gun,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°Not yet achieving Flying Heaven, I still cannot reveal my true identity.¡±


    To sweep through numerous Second Level Star Realms, one aim was to clear many obstacles of civilization.


    Secondly, it was to acquire Spiritual Nature nourishment.


    ¡°I must first master the Spiritual Secret Techniques,¡± Li Yuan quickly selected two suitable ones from the many Inherited Secret Techniques left by Qiu Bingzun and Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Burning Heart Blade!¡±


    ¡°Mind Soul!¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    These two Secret Techniques had very ordinary names, but their might was terrifying; the former was a Spiritual Secret Technique left by Qiu Bingzun, extremely domineering in effect, specializing in directly exterminating the enemy¡¯s soul.


    The latter, left by the Ancient Torch Divine, was somewhat similar to an Illusion Technique, used for disrupting the enemy.


    Both these Spiritual Secret Techniques were only accessible for cultivation to those with a Semi-Divine Level Soul, and at most, they could be cultivated all the way to the True God Level, incredibly profound.


    ¡°Truly formidable.¡± After a bit of comprehension, Li Yuan marveled at them, none of the Spiritual Secret Techniques he knew within the Seven Star Civilization could match these two.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°With great power comes great difficulty in cultivation,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If my spiritual power were just at the 40th level, I¡¯m afraid I would still struggle to cultivate them.¡±


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan bought many more exotic treasures to aid in the cultivation of these two Secret Techniques.


    In the blink of an eye,


    over a month went by, and Li Yuan finally gained initial mastery over these two Secret Techniques.


    ¡°To continue cultivating now would yield no significant improvement in the short term,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Spear Technique, Spiritual Secret Technique, and many other aspects had all reached a limit, impossible to breakthrough in a short time.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to take action.¡±


    ¡°Aim to push the Spiritual Awakening Level to 75%,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    ¡­


    ¡°Little Bing, are you ready?¡± A trace of thought from Li Yuan entered the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Good, you probably know about this operation,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°If we encounter a powerful enemy, when the time comes, it might be Little Bing who needs to take action.¡±


    ¡°Big Brother, rest assured,¡± Liu Bing said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve never fought a life and death battle before.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; in terms of raw combat strength, Little Bing was even more fearsome than himself.


    But she hadn¡¯t cultivated any Spiritual Secret Techniques.


    ¡­


    ¡°Sister, are you really going to accompany me? This time we are heading to an outer-dimensional Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    ¡°I now, officially recognize you,¡± Gu You said, shaking her head.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan smiled.

 Chapter 609: 343: For Civilization! Sweeping Through the Ten Directions

    Chapter 609: Chapter 343: For Civilization! Sweeping Through the Ten Directions


    Inside the massive Fourth Rank Battleship, the ¡°Invisibility¡± system was activated. Coupled with the warship¡¯s extremely high permissions within the Seven Star Alliance, it was undetectable.


    ¡°Ha ha, finally meeting the number one prodigy of the Seven Star Civilization, not bad, not bad at all,¡± said the suit-wearing, burly blond middle-aged man with a laugh: ¡°Even younger than I had imagined.¡±


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan saluted respectfully, also feeling quite moved in his heart.


    Li Yuan never expected that the Alliance Hierarch would directly arrange for ¡®Lant Semi-Divine¡¯ to come and protect him personally.


    Lant Semi-Divine hailed from one of the Seven Great Planets, ¡®Heavenly Sea Star¡¯.


    He was the first Semi-Divine in the history of the Seven Star Civilization, the most ancient being in the civilization, and had once commanded the civilization for over a century¡­ Before Dongfang Ji¡¯s rise, he was the undisputed second most powerful figure in the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even to this day, Lant Semi-Divine remained the recognized second strongest in the civilization, second only to Dongfang Ji.


    Moreover, Li Yuan¡¯s current actual permissions in the Virtual Network were ¡®Semi-Divine Level¡¯, granting him access to an abundance of information.


    He was well aware that within the civilization, there were differences among Semi-Divines, some Semi-Divines were highly trusted, like the San Ye Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others.


    Some Semi-Divines were not trusted.


    After all, history had seen Semi-Divines betray the civilization, causing immense destruction.


    Yet, Lant Semi-Divine could be considered the core of the entire civilization.


    Just like Li Yuan, who had grown with the help of Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, Dongfang Ji, and others.


    When Dongfang Ji rose to power years ago, he too had received guidance from Lant Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and others.


    ¡°When the Alliance Hierarch spoke to me not long ago, I was quite shocked,¡± lamented Lant Semi-Divine, ¡°Never would I have imagined that Spirit Gun was actually Li Yuan. No wonder you¡¯ve kept yourself so well hidden.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    His Phantom Spirit Garment could only deceive a Semi-Divine briefly.


    And the Semi-Divines, each possessing a Semi-Divine Level Soul, were not so easily obstructed from prying.


    Semi-Divines, with minimal effort, could naturally discern the truth.


    And Lant Semi-Divine was trustworthy.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Alliance Hierarch to have you, sir, to protect me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s an honor I scarcely deserve.¡±


    ¡°You are such a prodigy, and now you are on Feixing. Naturally, you need to be cautious and aware of potential assassination by Semi-Divines. Since the Alliance Hierarch couldn¡¯t come, me coming to protect you is the best option,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile: ¡°Besides, don¡¯t call me an old man, I¡¯m not old.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, my mistake,¡± Li Yuan laughed: ¡°You are very young, senior.¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were among the older Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But in fact, they were only a little over three hundred years old. Relative to their life spans lasting a thousand years, they were still young, and there was still hope for them to Ascend to God.


    ¡°I¡¯ve looked at the list,¡± said Lant Semi-Divine: ¡°Most are Star Realms located on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Correct,¡± nodded Li Yuan. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The entire civilization was connected to over a thousand Star Realms, but most were First Level Star Realms¡­ There were nearly two hundred Second Level Star Realms in total.


    And the list of Star Realms given by the Alliance Hierarch totaled 47 Second Level Star Realms, which was not a large number.


    More than half of the Semi-Divines were located on Feixing.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s inquiry in the database, Feixing should be the core of the entire Dimensional Plane, with realms like Nine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm all located on Feixing.


    Even the legendary ¡®Plane Passage¡¯ was on Feixing, though its exact location was unknown.


    The only Fourth Level Star Realm ¡®Demon Mountain Star Realm¡¯ was also in Feixing.


    For many reasons, Feixing gathered the cream of the Seven Star Civilization, with the highest population and the most experts¡­ Over half the Semi-Divines stayed on Feixing to guard it.


    ¡°Why choose Dragon Bone Star Realm first? The enemy is weakest there,¡± Lant Semi-Divine questioned with curiosity: ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you start with ¡®Mystic Demons Star Realm¡¯?¡±


    ¡°After all, once you begin your attack, you will expose yourself, and the enemies of other Star Realms will certainly retreat quickly,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said: ¡°Then, concentrating the slaughter will be very difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled.


    Mystic Demons Star Realm was the strongest among the enemy forces on the list of Star Realms, it also had the largest territory, connecting to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ There were dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization, among which were several Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Were there any Flying Heaven Limit Experts? It was uncertain!


    While Dragon Bone Star Realm was very weak, with only a few Flying Heaven Alien Races.


    ¡°Senior Lant,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°I have my considerations; you¡¯ll understand when the time comes.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Anyway, the Alliance Hierarch only asked me to protect you; the specifics of the plan are up to you, the executor,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    He held an extremely high status within the civilization; even Bai Shan Semi-Divine had to address him as ¡®senior¡¯.


    But since the Seven Star Alliance¡¯s establishment more than a hundred years ago, he had been keeping a low profile and even refused the title of ¡®Second Alliance Leader¡¯.


    He held a favorable view of Li Yuan.


    After learning of Li Yuan¡¯s deeds through Dongfang Ji, he held him in high regard.


    In Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes, Li Yuan was like Dongfang Ji of yesteryears, possibly bringing another wave of innovation and change to the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Not long after,


    The massive Fourth Rank Battleship arrived above the not-so-large War Fortress¡ªDragon Bone Fortress.


    This was the direct passage to Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    And the only conduit between the Seven Star Civilization and Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    The entire fortress had already been put under martial law, and even the several Flying Heaven Warriors originally stationed here had been ordered to stay away.


    The goal was to conceal Li Yuan¡¯s movements.


    These Flying Heaven Warriors knew only that the high echelons of the civilization were in motion. As for what exactly was being undertaken? By whom? It all remained a mystery.


    ¡°Senior Lant, I¡¯m going now,¡± Li Yuan whispered.


    Whoosh!


    His form distorted with light, Li Yuan silently entered the War Fortress; the Prime Warriors, First Rank Warriors¡­ inside the fortress couldn¡¯t detect him after he had concealed his aura.

    Chapter 610: Chapter 343: For Civilization! Sweeping Across All Directions_2


    ¡°`


    Soon,


    Li Yuan had already passed through the ¡°Star Realm Passage¡± at the bottom of the War Fortress and entered the Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    ¡­


    ¡°This Star Realm really is small,¡± Li Yuan remarked as he quickly flew out from the ¡°Outpost¡± located more than ten kilometers underground.


    He reached the surface and even soared into the high skies.


    In the sky was a dark sun, its light dim.


    ¡°Dragon Bone Mountain Range,¡± Li Yuan observed the vast mountain range on the ground, stretching thousands of kilometers. From its formation, it resembled the fallen skeletal remains of a divine dragon.


    Hence its name, ¡°Dragon Bone Mountain Range,¡± and the entire Star Realm was named after it, Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    ¡°According to the intelligence gathered over many years,¡±


    ¡°The conditions in the Dragon Bone Star Realm are very suitable for cultivating the Second Rank Spiritual Medicine ¡®Ling Le Fruit¡¯, as well as many First Rank Spiritual Medicines,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    In terms of value, they were much higher than the ¡®Vital Blood Source Ganoderma¡¯ he had discovered in the Flying Serpent Valley years ago.


    Simply put, this Star Realm was very suitable to become a medicinal garden for the Seven Star Civilization.


    However!!


    Compared to the expected yields, the enemy¡¯s forces were too strong¡­ The Dragon Bone Star Realm had two major forces.


    One force was indigenous, with several Flying Heaven beings.


    The other force was from the Foreign Civilization ¡®Fire Winter Civilization,¡¯ a name given by the Seven Star Civilization. They also had several Flying Heaven Alien Race members stationed here.


    The two forces were fiercely battling each other.


    The Seven Star Civilization?


    First, it was only in the past dozen years that an entrance to the Star Realm was discovered, and secondly, they were unwilling to invest too great a force for a small Star Realm to directly erupt into conflict with the Fire Winter Civilization, hence they had not taken action.


    After all, like Yu Jinghe and the others before, they were not able to break through the War Fortresses of the Fire Winter Civilization.


    Even so.


    ¡°To this day, the Fire Winter Civilization probably doesn¡¯t even know that a Star Realm Passage has appeared between us and the Dragon Bone Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan shook his head to himself.


    The Seven Star Civilization had many Star Realms, and they had come into contact with many Foreign Civilizations, most of which would not result in direct and tragic conflict.


    ¡°What a pity,¡± Li Yuan mused, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.


    Whoosh!


    He landed back on the ground and quickly flew towards the ¡®tail end¡¯ of the Dragon Bone Mountain Range.


    Over the past dozen years, although the Seven Star Civilization had only established an Outpost, they had been continuously gathering intelligence on the entire Star Realm¡­ Now that the intelligence had reached Li Yuan¡¯s hands, it was proving useful.


    ¡­


    Red Moon Base was the main base of the Fire Winter Civilization in the Dragon Bone Star Realm, with many strong beings stationed inside.


    Among them, there were several Flying Heaven warriors.


    In the deepest part of the base was a beautifully magnificent hall; the entire hall was empty except for a soft grand bed at the center.


    At the moment, two figures were hysterically entangled on the bed, venting their desires.


    After a while,


    The two finally relaxed.


    ¡°Big brother, you were much more fierce than last time,¡± the enchanting woman lay on the bed like a puddle of mud, her body covered with scales resembling snake scales, quite beautiful to behold: ¡°I almost couldn¡¯t handle it.¡±


    ¡°I just made a breakthrough to Level 33, naturally, I¡¯m more impressive,¡± the burly man teased with a laugh: ¡°Besides, if you can¡¯t handle it below, there¡¯s still above.¡±


    ¡°Stop it,¡± the enchanting woman snorted.


    The burly man burst out laughing, with a wave of his hand, a wine cup from a distant table floated over, and he drank heartily.


    ¡°Big brother, when do you plan to make a move on those Alien Races from Dragon Head Mountain?¡± the enchanting woman changed the subject.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°These indigenous Alien Races, none of them have any Star Techniques, and their foundations are pitifully weak. They only rely on that old dragon¡¯s strength,¡± the burly man¡¯s eyes turned icy: ¡°I¡¯m now Level 33, and my Star Meridian is stronger. Once I¡¯ve cultivated a more powerful Star Technique, I can start plotting to make a move.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Once this group of Alien Races is wiped out, the entire Star Realm will be our domain,¡± the burly man said: ¡°By then, we¡¯ll also have a bargaining chip to negotiate with our tribe, free and easy.¡± S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Mhm,¡± the enchanting woman¡¯s eyes were full of admiration.


    Being trapped in a Star Realm, never able to return, many strong beings were discontented, yet many Flying Heaven Warriors without high aspirations found joy in it too.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± An invisible force silently infiltrated the chamber, and immediately swept over the two Flying Heaven warriors.


    The secret technique ¡°Mind Soul¡±!


    ¡°Hm?¡± The enchanting woman, still revealing a large expanse of fair skin, was suddenly overtaken by a trace of confusion.


    With her Origin Power Cultivation only at Level 31, her Soul was quite ordinary.


    ¡°Hm?¡± The burly man, however, struggled in his eyes as he was Level 33 with a much stronger Soul, naturally better at resisting this Soul Secret Technique.


    But it was only a struggle.


    After a moment, he too succumbed.


    Having stayed in the Dragon Bone Star Realm for a long time, without any significant enemies, and routinely cultivating, on top of indulging in pleasures, his Willpower had actually fallen a lot¡­ Soul Cultivation Level usually wouldn¡¯t decline, but Willpower would gradually change over time.


    Some people, strong-willed in youth, might weaken as they approach old age.


    ¡°I¡¯ve become a Semi-Divine? Became the overlord of the entire World? With so many beauties,¡± the burly man was now completely immersed in the ¡°Mind Soul¡± secret technique¡¯s constructed Illusionary Realm.


    He was lost in it.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Another surge of destructive Soul Power crept silently into the hearts of the two Flying Heaven warriors. This power was much more domineering than the previous Soul Force.


    The secret technique ¡°Heart Scorcher Blade¡±!


    Just seconds later, the two powerful Flying Heaven warriors suddenly stiffened, then collapsed limply, their Soul presence quickly dissipating.


    Their bodies showed no damage, but they were dead.


    Because their Souls had been annihilated.


    Spiritual Attack, that is, Soul Attack, is so domineering, different from Material Attack¡­ Material Attack can cause damage over and over, and it is difficult to annihilate directly.


    ¡°`

    Chapter 611: Chapter 343: For Civilization! Sweeping Across All Directions_3


    And soul attacks either fail or, once successful, can silently claim a life¡­ with the soul and body of the powerful so firmly fused, soul eradications become incredibly difficult.


    Souls, in the end, are but an illusory force.


    ¡­


    In the void of Red Moon Base,


    Li Yuan was fully concentrated on concealing his presence, his Divine Sense enveloped the entire base, making everything within subject to his Inquiry.


    No one in the entire Red Moon Base could detect his existence.


    ¡°Two bases,¡±


    ¡°Five Flying Heaven Warriors, one at the Flying Heaven Middle Stage, four at the initial stage, all obliterated by soul attacks,¡± Li Yuan felt a trace of fatigue: ¡°Mission perfectly accomplished.¡±


    Just like physical attacks tire the body and require the consumption of Origin Power, preventing prolonged combat¡­ soul attacks also consume Soul Power and similarly require time to recover.


    ¡°No exposure.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, no one would even notice that I was here,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    Why start with the weaker Star Realms? That was why!


    With his powerful soul attacks, Li Yuan could silently eliminate a large number of ordinary Flying Heaven Alien Race members.


    If he started by attacking the strongest, like those at the Flying Heaven Peak, Li Yuan was not confident he could eradicate their souls directly, which would mean a direct assault and certain exposure.


    ¡°[You have slain a Third Rank Life, obtained Spirituality Nourishment, Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 64.5%]¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.


    Killing five members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race only increased his Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.5%.


    To raise it to 75%,


    he must slay hundreds more of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    ¡°Big brother, your soul attacks are truly formidable, capable of directly killing a Flying Heaven,¡± a green snake head emerged from Li Yuan¡¯s sleeve, Liu Bing spoke with eyes full of admiration: ¡°My soul attacks have difficulty even eradicating a Second Rank Life.¡±


    Since entering the Star Realm, Liu Bing had been coiling around Li Yuan¡¯s arm, making it convenient to strike at a moment¡¯s notice.


    ¡°It¡¯s just ordinary Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°Against you, it wouldn¡¯t be very effective.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s still some impact, and that¡¯s with me practicing the Soul Defense Secret Technique and having a Soul-guarding Treasure,¡± Liu Bing continued: ¡°Other Third Rank Lives, even those Flying Heaven Peak Experts, would probably be greatly affected.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    After mastering two Soul Secret Techniques, he had tested their power at the Ancient Divine Palace¡¯s Hundred Battles Arena and also on Liu Bing¡­ Liu Bing¡¯s Willpower was somewhat lacking, now only at the ordinary Flying Heaven Level, but her soul had grown to the 39th level.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent¡¯s Bloodline Talent had a staggeringly rapid growth before ascension to godhood, even after, the rate of progress was terrifying.


    A strong soul, coupled with secret techniques and treasures, created a formidable resistance to soul attacks; Li Yuan could only manage to slightly unsettle her.


    Of course!


    Treasures like those that directly shield the soul are hard to come by; as far as Li Yuan knew, most Divine beings didn¡¯t have them¡­ at least Gu You didn¡¯t seem to possess one.


    Liu Bing? Many of her treasures were not left by Qiu Bingzun, but by the Heavenly Divine of the Snake Clan.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Head to Dragon Head Mountain,¡± Li Yuan said quietly, he did not go on to kill the First and Second Rank Lives at Red Moon Base.


    Killing them wouldn¡¯t yield Spirituality Nourishment.


    Moreover, even if these First and Second Rank lives were exterminated, the Fire Winter Civilization could quickly send more¡­ most importantly, if they were all slain, the Fire Winter Civilization would surely find out swiftly.


    As it was now, with the five Flying Heaven leaders from both bases falling silently, it would likely take some time before the Fire Winter Civilization became aware.


    Many weaker civilizations do not possess ¡®Life Crystals¡¯ and such treasures.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, Little Bing,¡± Li Yuan spoke somberly: ¡°We need to make haste.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    The green snake, which was originally coiled around Li Yuan¡¯s arm, rapidly enlarged, spread its wings, and lifted Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    ¡°Big brother, hold tight, we¡¯re about to fly.¡± The green snake emitted a hazy green light, which also faintly enveloped Li Yuan, her speed suddenly surged to a terrifying level, surpassing 20 times the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.


    She was faster than most Flying Heaven Limit Experts.


    ¡°Ha, exhilarating, whoo! Big brother, I¡¯ve been holding back for years,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice was cheerful.


    Li Yuan laughed.


    ¡°This speed is indeed terrifying; the ¡®Sky-Cleaving Wings¡¯ truly deserve to be a Nine Layer Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly.


    This was the first time Liu Bing revealed her full strength.


    In terms of pure speed, Li Yuan had to admit that after losing the ¡®Wind Feather¡¯ Star Technique, his speed was probably only a third of Liu Bing¡¯s.


    Not even close to the same level. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, one of the strongest Divine Beasts of the Wind Vein across the Divine Realm, had a terrifying talent, especially for speed.


    Liu Bing, who had practiced the most fitting and powerful Escaping Method Star Technique, ¡°Sky-Cleaving Wings,¡± along with a Law Comprehension comparable to a Demigod in the middle stage (Threshold of the Law).


    It could be said,


    In terms of pure speed, Liu Bing was unrivaled, nearing the level of a Demigod.


    ¡­


    Dragon Head Mountain, the stronghold of the native powers of Dragon Bone Star Realm.


    Within a vast cavern,


    ¡°Keep practicing hard.¡±


    ¡°With the powers of those extraterrestrial beings growing stronger, if we do not practice diligently, we will eventually be utterly eradicated,¡± two enormous Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts spoke solemnly.


    In the hall below, many Second Rank Exotic Beasts listened respectfully.


    As a native force, they were too weak, with little heritage¡­ and the low intelligence of the lower rank members prevented a stable heritage from forming.


    However, in the conflict with the Fire Winter Civilization, they had always been struggling, even as their tribal power weakened, they had never thought of giving up.


    Suddenly,


    An invisible disturbance swept through, and right before the eyes of the many Second Rank Exotic Beasts, the bodies of the two Flying Heaven Exotic Beasts stiffened and they fell thunderously, dying instantly.

    ¡°Roar~~¡±


    The entire Dragon Head Mountain was in chaos, as many Second Rank Exotic Beasts attempted to seek out the other Flying Heaven Ancestors, but soon discovered¡­ the other Flying Heaven Ancestors had already perished.


    Likewise, there were no wounds, but their Soul presence dissipated.


    This was definitely the sky collapsing!


    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re thoroughly doomed, it must be Fire Winter Civilization acting in the dark, our entire World will be occupied,¡± declared the most prominent Second Rank Exotic Beasts in utter panic.


    With all the Third Rank Ancestors gone, leaving only them, the Second Rank Lives, how could they possibly fight?


    Up till now, they still didn¡¯t know exactly how their own Third Rank Ancestors had perished.

    In less than a quarter of an hour.


    With Liu Bing¡¯s assistance, Li Yuan had already returned to Feixing, back on the Fourth Rank Battleship.


    ¡°Why are you back so soon? Did you encounter trouble?¡± Lant Semi-Divine asked, slightly surprised.


    From the time Li Yuan left for the Dragon Bone Star Realm to his return, less than an hour had passed.


    Such a short span of time.


    In Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s estimation, Li Yuan had at most slaughtered a certain faction.


    Therefore, it could only indicate that he encountered trouble and had to return midway.


    What an unfavorable start!


    ¡°Don¡¯t be disheartened,¡± Lant Semi-Divine consoled.


    ¡°Fire Winter Civilization, local forces, a total of nine Flying Heaven experts, all slain.¡±


    ¡°No disturbance to Fire Winter Civilization,¡± Li Yuan whispered, ¡°Elder, let¡¯s head to the next Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Lant Semi-Divine widened his eyes, ¡°All slain?¡±


    What kind of slaughtering speed was this?


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Onto the next Star Realm.¡± Lant Semi-Divine didn¡¯t doubt Li Yuan¡¯s words, and with a thought, the battleship swiftly took off.


    The slaughter plan had already commenced, so naturally, the quicker the pace, the better.


    The longer the delay, the higher the exposure risk.


    ¡­Time passed.

    ¡°Continue to consolidate.¡±


    ¡°Continue to proliferate; the wars within the Star Realm have been peaceful for so long, our Breeding Area can continue to expand,¡± discussed six Flying Heaven experts belonging to the same tribe.


    This was their routine meeting.


    Suddenly.


    A rustle¡ªa wave of invisible fluctuations passed by; swiftly, the six Flying Heaven experts silently perished.


    Due to it being a high-level meeting, other experts of the base remained unaware for a short duration.


    ¡­


    Mountain Demon Star Realm.


    Beneath an imposing and endless mountain.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± the mountain trembled.


    A powerful creature as massive as a mountain, its body pitch-black, stomped upon the Earth, looking up at the figure in the void above.


    ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± the Mountain Demon leader asked, both terrified and furious.


    He had just been asleep moments ago and was suddenly attacked, initially via a Soul Attack¡­ he nearly died.


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t bother with idle talk and immediately moved, transforming into a streak of light and lunging forward.


    If the Soul Slaughter did not succeed, then face the battle head-on.


    ¡°Hum~¡± Silent Soul waves enveloped the area once more.


    The Mountain Demon leader, the strongest of the Alien Race in the Mountain Demon Star Realm, had a body level of 35.


    ¡°Whir!¡±


    As the Mountain Demon leader struggled vacantly, a seemingly slow yet terrifyingly beautiful spear light shone.


    The Spear Light tore through heaven and earth!


    ¡°Splat~¡± The Mountain Demon leader¡¯s seemingly formidable body was instantly ripped open with a huge gash, followed by another streak of Spear Light, piercing directly through his skull.


    The Mountain Demon leader, dead!


    Whoo!


    Li Yuan, holding his long spear, stood in the void.


    Unmoved if not provoked, once he struck, Li Yuan naturally unleashed his strongest attack, combining the Two True Meanings of Wind and Earth, the Black Chen Spear exploded! The Supreme Star Technique of the God Body of All Things burst forth.


    With the Soul Attack as a distraction, it was naturally a one-hit kill.


    ¡°In terms of power, this Mountain Demon leader was slightly stronger than the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor back then.¡±


    ¡°He was the strongest among the hundreds of Flying Heaven Alien Race I¡¯ve slaughtered these past few days,¡± Li Yuan mentally noted.


    In less than two days.


    Li Yuan had already obliterated over thirty Star Realms, from the weakest to the strongest, but all were Soul Slaughters.


    This Mountain Demon leader was the first Flying Heaven Peak Expert Li Yuan had encountered, forcing him to act.


    ¡°Big brother, another win!¡±


    ¡°Haha,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s excited voice rang out, then suddenly he seemed puzzled, ¡°Big brother, why do I feel you¡¯re not quite happy?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve killed another batch of enemies, nearly twenty Flying Heaven Alien Race in this Star Realm have been slaughtered, and the Seven Star Civilization should be able to swiftly occupy this Star Realm. Big brother, you should be happy,¡± Liu Bing wondered.


    Li Yuan sighed softly and did not speak.


    The more he killed, the less joy Li Yuan felt in his heart, but his resolve only deepened.


    Looking down at the body of the Mountain Demon leader below.


    ¡°Sorry!¡± Li Yuan thought silently, his expression ice cold, ¡°But for my civilization, I must do this!¡±


    Whoo!


    Liu Bing carried Li Yuan swiftly away from this Star Realm.


    Li Yuan glanced at the panel in the Divine Palace:


    [Spiritual Awakening Level: 75% (Current limit 75%, third Spiritual Guidance can be initiated.)]


    In the past two frantic days of slaughter, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Awakening Level had already reached the 75% limit.


    Yet.


    Without completely concluding this operation, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t stop.


    ¡°The easily cleared Star Realm targets are all completed,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes icy cold. ¡°The next targets are all Flying Heaven Peak experts.¡±


    ¡°Thus, let¡¯s start slaughtering from the strongest.¡±


    ¡°Next target.¡±


    ¡°Mystic Demons Star Realm!¡±

    Chapter 613: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?


    Dragon Bone Star Realm, Red Moon Base.


    ¡°Two lords, didn¡¯t you say you would summon me today? Why haven¡¯t you come out after so long?¡± A burly man clad in crimson battle armor, his face covered with scales, stood in front of the Quiet Chamber, hesitant.


    He had already been waiting outside for several hours.


    No response to his messages.


    Despite this, he dared not knock on the door, aware of the temper of the two lords¡­ even a slight disobedience would be severely punished.


    In the Dragon Bone Star Realm, it was almost dictated by their words.


    Suddenly.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Several streaks of light darted over, each with a formidable presence, but all had faces filled with terror.


    ¡°Meng Huoyan, why are you here? Where¡¯s Lord Tao?¡± The leader, a large man in black armor, landed with a face full of panic, looking at the man in crimson armor.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The man in crimson armor felt alarmed, ¡°How did you come from Dark Heart Base, did something happen?¡±


    A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.


    Dark Heart Base, another base, was not very far away, but still several hundred kilometers.


    Normally, these Second Rank Lives, being commanders, wouldn¡¯t all come to Red Moon Base without reason.


    ¡°They are dead!¡±


    ¡°All dead.¡± The man in black armor¡¯s eyes turned blood-red, his voice tinged with fear, ¡°Lord Blood Axe and the others, both are dead!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± The man in crimson armor was greatly shocked, repeatedly asking, ¡°What exactly happened?¡±


    ¡°Today we went to report, but we found the door to the Quiet Chamber open, so we went in and discovered both lords dead inside.¡± The man in black armor continued, ¡°And their bodies were intact, no injuries, but their life force had completely disappeared.¡±


    Meng Huoyan felt his heart tremble.


    Dead without a sound!


    ¡°We then sent messages to Lord Tao, Lord Qing, but when we got no responses from either, we immediately decided to come here.¡± The man in black armor went on, ¡°That¡¯s when we ran into you, Meng Huoyan.¡±


    Hearing this, Meng Huoyan couldn¡¯t stay still any longer.


    ¡°Even if the two lords blame us, it can¡¯t be helped anymore.¡± Meng Huoyan thought quickly, took out a token, and placed it on the door of the Quiet Chamber.


    Subsequently, he input the verification password! sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Finally.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The door to the Quiet Chamber slowly opened, revealing the passage leading further inside.


    Yet even then, there was no response from inside the Quiet Chamber, and Meng Huoyan¡¯s heart was full of concern.


    Swoosh!


    Meng Huoyan rushed in first, followed closely by the other Second Rank Lives. After quickly passing through two corridors, they witnessed a horrifying scene.


    Two Flying Heaven Warriors, lying disheveled on a large bed, already devoid of life.


    ¡°They¡¯re dead too?¡±


    ¡°This!!¡±


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s dead.¡±


    ¡°All the Flying Heaven experts within the Dragon Bone Star Realm are gone.¡± This scene sent chills down the spines of the few Second Rank Lives.


    What kind of bizarre spectacle was this?


    What danger had they encountered that all the Flying Heaven experts were dead? Could those of them who remained alive manage to survive?


    Without hesitation.


    These Second Rank Lives immediately activated an emergency route, reporting to the higher-ups of the Fire Winter Civilization.


    ¡­


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s dead?¡±


    ¡°Died silently within the base?¡± Fire Winter Civilization also had more than ten Demigods, who upon receiving this shocking news, quickly gathered together.


    Bizarre!


    ¡°The War Base should withstand a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, how could Tao Zhen and the others have died without cause?¡±


    ¡°The bodies are intact!¡±


    ¡°Not a single injury, and from the current situation, there were no signs of resistance?¡± These Demigods, having vast insight, quickly surmised a possibility.


    Soul Annihilation!


    The Flying Heaven Warriors of Dragon Bone Star Realm had been killed by soul annihilation.


    ¡°Tao Hai, who¡¯s Level 32 and has cultivated for many years¡ªsilently annihilating his soul is not something ordinary Demigods could achieve?¡±


    ¡°At least it must be a Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°Demigod? A small Dragon Bone Star Realm, could it have birthed a Demigod adept at soul attacks?¡± These Demigods from Fire Winter Civilization found it a bit absurd.


    Could it be a native?


    But logically, the natives only had a few at Flying Heaven Level¡­ and if it were the natives, with the terrifying power of a Demigod, they could have directly overwhelmed the War Base, so why bother with such complications?


    Too many things made no sense!


    ¡°How could such a terrifying enemy suddenly emerge?¡± A Demigod was puzzled.


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first.¡±


    ¡°Whatever the case, it shows that a terrifying force is hidden in the shadows of Dragon Bone Star Realm. They only targeted Flying Heaven, not killing First and Second Rank Lives, definitely not because they couldn¡¯t¡­ it¡¯s likely because Flying Heaven can¡¯t retreat and are inherently a threat.¡± A Demigod analyzed, ¡°But if we don¡¯t retreat now, probably all First and Second Rank Lives will be wiped out.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll slowly investigate, but for now, we need to avoid a huge loss.¡± Quickly, the highest echelons of Fire Winter Civilization reached a consensus.


    Retreat!


    The enemy was too strong; continuing to contest with them on Dragon Bone Star Realm was akin to hurling eggs against rocks.


    ¡­


    Not only the Fire Winter Civilization, but many Foreign Civilizations that experienced attacks also didn¡¯t realize at first but gradually came to understand the truth over time.


    Naturally, it terrified them.


    The most terrifying was the Dream Sea Civilization, within one of their star realms nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors, excluding four not inside the Main Base, the remaining sixteen had fallen silently.


    A nightmare!


    ¡°Who did this?¡±


    ¡°Demigod! This must be the work of a Demigod!!¡±


    ¡°Ordinary Demigods couldn¡¯t achieve this, it must be one extremely proficient in soul attacks.¡± These Foreign Civilizations were both shocked and puzzled.


    However, such incidents are always kept secret.

    Chapter 614: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_2


    Given the short time span and the fact that most civilizations had only made contact with the Seven Star Civilization, with few bordering each other¡­ therefore, most powers had not yet thought of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But there were exceptions.


    ¡­


    Fire Hell Civilization.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s another Star Realm where a similar situation has occurred? Most of the Flying Heaven warriors have fallen.¡±


    ¡°The same situation, where they died silently and suddenly? Possible soul annihilation?¡± These semi-divines at the highest echelons of Fire Hell Civilization were all shaken.


    Their civilization bordered two Star Realms with the Seven Star Civilization. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Quickly¡­


    The Fire Hell Civilization found a commonality.


    ¡°The attacks on both realms occurred within a very short interval.¡±


    ¡°Both of these Star Realms are Second Level Star Realms!¡±


    ¡°Both border the Seven Star Civilization, and previously we have been constantly at war with each other.¡± The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization rapidly grew suspicious of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Could it have been the Seven Star Civilization?


    Otherwise, there¡¯s no explaining why so many Star Realms were unharmed, yet these two faced trouble.


    ¡°If it is the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s doing, how did they do it?¡±


    ¡°Could it be a demigod? But demigods cannot enter the Second Level Star Realms!¡±


    ¡°Secret treasures? But then why not slaughter the Flying Heaven warriors?¡± The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization found the doubts overwhelming.


    ¡°What do you think!¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Seven Star Civilization has an incredibly powerful Prime Warrior who can annihilate the souls of Flying Heaven warriors?¡± One of the semi-divines questioned: ¡°Didn¡¯t we hear that the Seven Star Civilization has a Prime Warrior known as Spirit Gun? It¡¯s said that his strength is formidable, at the level of the Flying Heaven Peak.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun indeed has this strength.¡±


    ¡°If it¡¯s a brute force assault, I would believe it.¡±


    ¡°But one of Second Rank, could his soul really have undergone a transformation to the Semi-Divine Level? Impossible! That¡¯s too far-fetched.¡± These semi-divines argued among themselves.


    It wasn¡¯t that they looked down on Spirit Gun.


    But a Prime Warrior with a Semi-Divine Level soul? To the semi-divines, that was utterly fantastical.


    However, as time passed¡­


    The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization, upon eliminating all other possibilities, realized that this theoretically impossible scenario had the highest probability of being true.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    ¡°First, pull back the First and Second Rank lives.¡± The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization issued the command: ¡°Without Third Rank lives, we can no longer fight against the Seven Star Civilization. If we continue to commit forces¡­ it would simply be a death sentence.¡±


    After ordering the retreat¡­


    ¡°Begin contacting other civilizations.¡±


    The semi-divines of Fire Hell Civilization began to mobilize: ¡°Our war with the Seven Star Civilization is on a small scale, after all, it only involves two Second Level Star Realms. If the Seven Star Civilization indeed has such a heaven-defying Prime Warrior, it¡¯s not possible they¡¯d only take action against us.¡±


    ¡°The other civilizations will not escape either.¡±


    ¡°Go ask the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization has faced the most brutal warfare with the Seven Star Civilization.¡± The higher-ups of Fire Hell Civilization began attempting to make contact with other civilizations.


    ¡­


    Some Foreign Civilizations had yet to detect the situation, while others, situated in isolation, could only speculate wildly.


    Some Foreign Civilizations were powerful and suffered heavy casualties like Fire Hell Civilization and began to carry out deductive analysis.


    Just as Fire Hell Civilization was about to contact the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­


    Li Yuan had already arrived at the frontline of Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    ¡­Mystic Demons Star Realm featured ranges of undulating mountains and unfathomably deep gulfs and oceans.


    This Star Realm was one of the largest Second Level Star Realms between the Seven Star Civilization and the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    In terms of resource richness, it was no less than the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Over decades, both sides had poured in massive resources¡­ and with the War Fortresses becoming increasingly fortified, the rise of each side¡¯s Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Within the Star Realm, the two civilizations had maintained a standoff, each finding it difficult to overpower the other.


    Today.


    Above the Main Base of the Seven Star Civilization hung several massive Fourth Rank Battleships; within one of the ships gathered dozens of Flying Heaven warriors.


    ¡°Why are so many Flying Heaven warriors suddenly called over today?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t know!¡±


    ¡°Could a major battle be about to start?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Many Flying Heaven warriors, including two of the strongest Flying Heaven Peak Experts, were all somewhat perplexed.


    They had become permanent residents within the Mystic Demon Civilization and could not return.


    But faced with orders from the highest level of their civilization, these Flying Heaven warriors were resolute in obedience.


    Whoosh!


    Numerous rays of light shot out, converging to form a Phantom.


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Semi-Divine.¡± Over fifty Flying Heaven warriors bowed respectfully, many with eyes full of admiration.


    ¡°To gather you here today!¡±


    ¡°Is to inform you,¡± Lant Semi-Divine spoke gravely, ¡°that today is the day we will completely uproot the Myriad Demon Civilization¡¯s forces within the Mystic Demons Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Completely uproot the Myriad Demon Civilization¡¯s forces?¡±


    ¡°This!¡± The dozens of Flying Heaven warriors present were startled and instinctively incredulous.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped!


    They had been fighting against the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s warriors for decades and, even if sometimes gaining the upper hand, had never managed to breach the enemy¡¯s War Bases¡­ those had been reinforced over decades.


    Could Lant Semi-Divine have some method?


    ¡°No need to ask further.¡±


    ¡°Depart immediately, attack! As soon as you reach the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Base, you will understand,¡± Lant Semi-Divine spoke sonorously.


    Until now, he had not revealed anything.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped.


    Just as the Seven Star Civilization could have infiltrated other civilizations, within their own ranks, there could be enemy spies¡­ If word spread widely, the other civilizations would have long since retreated.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Despite the confusion in their hearts, the dozens of Flying Heaven warriors executed the order without hesitation.


    Thunderous rumble~


    Six Fourth Rank Battleships quickly cut through the sky toward the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Main Base.


    The Main Bases of the two major civilizations were less than three thousand kilometers apart.

 Chapter 615: 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_3

    Chapter 615: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_3


    Traveling at the speed of a Fourth Rank Battleship, the assault was incredibly swift¡­ but the huge commotion they caused was also swiftly detected by the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization naturally closely monitored the area around their Main Base.


    But suddenly!


    The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization were horrified to discover¡­ that many of the dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors within the vast base had silently perished.


    ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± These four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were all bewildered. What was going on?


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had treasures similar to Life Crystals, but such treasures were extremely precious.


    It was impossible for every Flying Heaven Warrior to possess one.


    Only some extremely important First Rank and Second Rank prodigies, in addition to the Flying Heaven Peak Experts, were allowed to refine such a prodigy¡¯s Life Crystal.


    And under the cover of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense, coupled with the ¡°Divine Palace Exploration,¡± the killings were selective.


    Only targeting those at level 30, level 31, and those who were in seclusion within a Quiet Chamber.


    So, after slaughtering more than a dozen Flying Heaven Experts, the Myriad Demons Civilization side didn¡¯t even notice.


    However, there were no longer such opportunities.


    ¡°Fast!¡±


    ¡°Inaudibly and imperceptibly, it¡¯s definitely a soul slaughter! It¡¯s a Demigod secretly carrying out a Soul Slaughter.¡±


    ¡°Definitely a Demigod.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts quickly concluded and immediately panicked.


    A Demigod could have a Semi-Divine Level Soul, which was almost an iron law.


    ¡°It must be Bo De¡¯an from the Seven Star Civilization. Someone among them has become a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°So ruthless.¡±


    ¡°Silent, and suddenly a Demigod has emerged, even covertly attacking us.¡±


    ¡°Demigod! Indefensible.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s over!¡±


    ¡°Run, we can only run, fleeing deep into the earth, there might still be hope to avoid the chase.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts decided to flee in an instant while reporting the news.


    Run!


    They were all scared stiff. There was no helping it, the deterrence of a Demigod was too great.


    War Fortress? A joke in front of a Demigod.


    A Demigod was absolutely supreme over Flying Heaven Level. Even the most ordinary Demigod could kill a Flying Heaven Peak Expert with one move.


    That was the gap.


    Therefore, facing the suspected existence of a Demigod Expert, these four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were completely chilled to the bone.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°Run quickly.¡±


    ¡°While the Demigod hasn¡¯t begun a mass slaughter, if we all run together, perhaps a few can escape.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts turned into streaks of light, fleeing wildly through the passages within the War Fortress.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Demigod?¡± The remaining dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors also panicked completely and immediately fled.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A Demigod has emerged in the Mystic Demons Star Realm from the Seven Star Civilization?¡± The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization received the news promptly and were greatly shocked.


    In a Second Level Star Realm, once a Demigod emerged, they would be absolutely invincible.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°How could a Demigod emerge? Is the situation false? Bo De¡¯an and the others have cultivated for nearly a hundred years, only to become Flying Heaven Peak. How could they become a Demigod so quickly?¡± The upper echelons of the Myriad Demons Civilization were suspicious.


    It was simply too strange.


    Quickly!


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun!! The one slaughtering us is the Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re all dead!¡±


    ¡°All of them are dead.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s still a Prime Warrior, hasn¡¯t broken through yet.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun has a Semi-Divine Level Soul!!¡± The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization quickly received this shocking news.


    What is this?


    Spirit Gun?


    Wasn¡¯t that freak Prime Warrior from the Seven Star Civilization already over fifty years old? How could he have not broken through yet?


    Keep in mind, in these years, the Spirit Gun had never made a move, leading many from the Myriad Demons Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, Immortal Ruins Civilization, and many other Foreign Civilizations to speculate that the Spirit Gun had already broken through.


    But now!


    Not only had the Spirit Gun not broken through, he had even come to the Mystic Demons Star Realm and possessed a Semi-Divine Level Soul?


    A Prime Warrior with a Semi-Divine Level Soul? These Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization felt a tremor in their hearts.


    How is that possible!


    ¡°Report to the Divine at once.¡±


    ¡°Quickly report to the Eastern Demon Deity.¡± These Demigods didn¡¯t dare delay, this matter was not for them to decide.


    ¡­


    Within the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    ¡°They¡¯ve started to run directly?¡±


    ¡°They¡¯ve noticed?¡±


    ¡°Was it me who frightened them?¡± Li Yuan, who was cloaked in his aura and remained at the edge of the War Fortress, executing soul slaughter attacks, suddenly noticed that the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization had started fleeing.


    Especially those four Flying Heaven Peak Experts, who had begun to flee separately.


    You must know, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense covered a radius of ten kilometers, an absolute range of perception.


    Unless it was a Divine, none could hide from Li Yuan¡¯s Inquiry. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Ten kilometers might sound small, but most War Fortresses could hardly exceed ten kilometers in diameter.


    In short, most of the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization had always been under the cover of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense.


    And the range of the Divine Sense was where Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack could reach.


    That was just the direct Inquiry range of the Divine Sense; the soul perception range was much broader¡­ If there was an intense fluctuation of the Power of Heaven and Earth, even thousands of kilometers away, Li Yuan could faintly sense it.


    ¡°The other Flying Heaven Warriors don¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Letting them run will let the other Flying Heaven Warriors pursue at their leisure.¡±


    ¡°These four big fish, they cannot be allowed to escape.¡±


    ¡°If they escape, how can my Seven Star Civilization peacefully conquer the Mystic Demons Star Realm?¡± No longer concealing his aura, Li Yuan soared into the sky, roaring towards one of the fleeing Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    It was precisely this outburst of aura that made the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s War Fortress Inquiry system instantaneously lock on to Li Yuan.


    Exposing his whereabouts and identity.

 Chapter 616: 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_4

    Chapter 616: Chapter 344: Sweeping All Directions! Exposed?_4


    Among the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization, shock was quickly followed by an immediate reporting up the chain.


    However, in a moment of exposure,


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan lost control, his previously concealed Semi-Divine Level Soul fully erupted.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ In an instant, dozens of soul fluctuations radiated out from Li Yuan, slicing through the Vast Sky, directly attacking the minds of those dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    In an instant, he attacked over thirty Flying Heaven Warriors at the same time.


    Soul Attack, formless and invisible.


    It couldn¡¯t be obstructed by ordinary things like metal or soil, and even Pseudo-God Level Combat Armor was mostly ineffective.


    This was also why Soul-guarding Treasures were so precious.


    ¡°Ah!!¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± The dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors fleeing through the fortress passages each looked as if struck by lightning, their eyes filled with terror.


    Silently.


    Thump~ Thump! Thump!! One after another, the Flying Heaven Warriors slammed into the walls while flying at high speeds.


    A few who had flown out of the War Fortress plummeted down.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°The inquiry system, vital signs, dissipated.¡± Inside the War Fortress, the many Prime Warriors engaged in monitoring were completely baffled.


    The battle had come too swiftly, and the Prime Warriors had no time to react.


    They saw many Flying Heaven Warriors taking actions, only to immediately see these warriors fall to the ground.


    Vital signs dissipated.


    Die! Die! Die! In almost a blink, more than twenty Flying Heaven Warriors had fallen to Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack.


    ¡°Are they all dead?¡±


    ¡°So many dead?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Spirit Gun! That soul attack came from his direction, carrying his aura.¡± Those four Flying Heaven Peak Experts were both shocked and horrified.


    They were shocked by Li Yuan¡¯s formidable power and filled with dread.


    Could a Prime Warrior be this strong?


    ¡°Are there eleven who survived?¡± Li Yuan felt waves of fatigue in his mind; such a widespread soul attack required a significant drain of soul power.


    He also felt somewhat unsatisfied: ¡°It seems that in a widespread soul attack, the might is greatly weakened.¡±


    To withstand a Soul Attack?


    One depends on soul strength, another on willpower, and the third is whether one has cultivated a Soul Defense Secret Technique.


    Willpower equates to the ¡®skill¡¯ of the soul.


    With the same Soul Cultivation Level, the stronger the will, the greater the might that can be exerted.


    Those whose souls Li Yuan instantly annihilated were almost all level 30, 31.


    But those slightly stronger could survive such a widespread soul attack.


    That was why Li Yuan preferred to stealthily attack each one individually.


    A widespread attack was too imprecise.


    Only in isolated attacks could a soul attack unleash its greatest might, like against ¡®Tao Hai¡¯ from the Dragon Bone Star Realm, who, even at level 33, would die facing Li Yuan¡¯s multiple soul attacks.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Li Yuan, not minding his exhaustion, shifted his thoughts, and another widespread soul attack descended.


    This time the targets were dozens of other Flying Heaven Warriors, almost all of them Initial Rank strong.


    Kill the ones that could be killed.


    ¡°Spurt~¡±


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    ¡°Huff!¡± Nearly thirty Initial Rank Flying Heaven Warriors, each showing a face of terror, followed by their soul essences suddenly dispersing. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In an instant!


    Another nearly thirty Flying Heaven Warriors were annihilated, a scene that made all remaining powerhouses of the Myriad Demons Civilization tremble.


    So terrifying?


    But at the same time, the four Flying Heaven Peak Experts nearly all had a thought emerge in their minds¡ª should they kill Li Yuan?

 Chapter 617: 345: Slaughtered to near extinction

    Chapter 617: Chapter 345: Slaughtered to near extinction


    The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts thinking this way was normal.


    Previously, they believed it was a Demigod attacking, so the material attack must also be at the Demigod level; they couldn¡¯t block it no matter what.


    But the four of them sensed the source of the soul attack fluctuations and could confirm it was the Spirit Gun emitting the soul attack. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And the aura of the Spirit Gun was indeed that of a Prime Warrior.


    Even if a Prime Warrior defied the heavens, even if their soul attack was terrifying, their material attack absolutely couldn¡¯t reach the Semi-Divine Level.


    Not even if they stepped into the Threshold of the Law with their Law Comprehension.


    Even if it were a Prime Warrior at the limit of the strongest Body Refining Art, fundamentally, they were still a thousand times weaker than a Demigod.


    ¡°He¡¯s attacking us covertly, which proves he¡¯s not confident about facing us head-on.¡±


    ¡°His soul attack can¡¯t eradicate us either.¡±


    ¡°Comprehension of True Intent, the further you cultivate it, the slower it goes. Even after several years, he might not have reached the Semi-Divine Level¡­ might not be comparable to level 36.¡±


    ¡°The four of us joining hands should stand a chance to defeat him.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re not like those native Beast Kings from the Mingxu Star Realm.¡± The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts communicated extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, they made the decision¡ªkill!


    In fact, they all understood that since Spirit Gun dared to come, he must have had some confidence.


    But!


    If the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s grand army was about to attack, and if they fled the War Fortress, then the War Fortress would undoubtedly fall¡­ Even if they escaped, they couldn¡¯t return to the Myriad Demons Civilization and could only hide everywhere within the Mystic Demon Civilization.


    If they held the War Fortress?


    Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors and Prime Warriors would be swiftly killed by Li Yuan using soul attacks, and in the end, only a few of them, the bare commanders, would be left, unable to hold on just the same.


    But if they could quickly kill Spirit Gun, then even if most Flying Heaven Warriors had already fallen¡­ relying on the sturdiness of the War Fortress, they might still hope to withstand the impact of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s grand army.


    Spirit Gun was the biggest threat!


    Boom! Boom! Boom! The four Flying Heaven Peak Experts, who were still fleeing, abruptly stopped and transformed into four streaks of light, attacking Li Yuan like lightning.


    Buzz~ One of the figures, clad in blood armor, became blurry as soon as it moved, as if it had vanished into space.


    ¡°Turn back and engage proactively.¡±


    ¡°Are they coming to kill me?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were icy cold; having just slaughtered dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors, he was in a surge of murderous intent.


    Killing many Star Realm natives, even though he obtained a large amount of Spirituality Nourishment, didn¡¯t bring much joy to Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    But killing the strong from the Myriad Demons Civilization? Li Yuan only felt exhilarated, eager to kill even more.


    To extinguish them all would be best!!


    Now, as they turned back to him, nothing could please Li Yuan more.


    Boom! Li Yuan¡¯s body instantly became five meters tall, already employing the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯.


    He emanated a hazy divine light, and his speed surged even faster, covering two kilometers in a second, closing in on the nearest silver-armored figure.


    ¡°Pity, I scrubbed off the Escaping Method Star Technique, otherwise, with my comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind, my flying speed could also reach ten times the speed of sound, which would be considered fast even among Flying Heaven Peak Experts.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was fixed on his adversary, clutching tightly the Black Chen Spear.


    It had been several years since he¡¯d experienced a life-and-death struggle.


    Level 35 powerhouses from the Myriad Demons Civilization were not those simple Star Realm natives¡­


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    The burly man in silver armor suddenly roared, his body likewise growing to a height of five meters, his aura skyrocketing as he wielded an absurdly large Battle Axe: ¡°Die!!¡±


    Whoosh~


    The Battle Axe was lifted high as if to split a mountain, furiously chopping down.


    ¡°Take my spear!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s cold voice echoed through the Vast Sky, subverting the void, and around him, the heavens and the earth mobilized numerous azure and earth-yellow flows. His Vigor completely erupted as well, reaching peak might, with the Long Spear thrusting straight forward!


    Whoosh~


    This thrust pierced through the void, invoking both Wind and Earth True Intents, combining speed and force.


    ¡°Huh? What¡¯s happening? Wasn¡¯t I fighting?¡± An invisible soul fluctuation infiltrated the silver-armored man¡¯s mind, causing his consciousness to falter, and the assaulting Spear Light before his eyes to blur, as if plunging into the Abyss.


    It was as if he¡¯d fallen into layers upon layers of dreams.


    Soul Secret Technique ¡°Mind Soul¡±!


    ¡°No, it¡¯s another Soul Secret Technique, wake up! Wake up!¡± The silver-armored man roared in his mind, his consciousness desperately struggling, but inevitably, his control over his body was rapidly declining.


    To wield great power required the soul!


    But now, most of the silver-armored man¡¯s Mental Consciousness was resisting Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack, the soul power for executing the Axe Technique naturally weakened substantially¡­


    ¡°Boom!¡± The Long Spear and Battle Axe collided fiercely.


    The silver-armored man had cultivated the Fifth Layer Body Refining Art, and his True Intent Comprehension was also at Sixth Stage High Rank. Even if his soul was greatly affected, the might of this axe was incredibly formidable.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s strike, although not using the Nine Shadows Clone, didn¡¯t hold back at all in this frontal attack.


    ¡°Peng~¡±


    The silver-armored man felt an overwhelming force sweeping over him, his body trembling as he spat out blood, his palm split open and drenched in blood, nearly unable to hold onto the Battle Axe, his entire figure flying backwards like a shooting star.


    ¡°Is he really that strong? He¡¯s definitely comparable to a level 36 Star Master.¡±


    ¡°A Prime Warrior, can he truly unleash such power? Impossible!!¡± The silver-armored man finally woke up from the Soul Secret Technique, his heart filled with terror.


    Terrifying!


    Just one exchange had driven him to complete despair.


    What he didn¡¯t know was that Li Yuan, melding the Mysteries of Earth and Wind True Intents, had refined his Spear Technique to an intricacy nearly at the Seventh Stage.


    It could be said that the intricacies of many Demigods¡¯ maneuvers were not as profound as Li Yuan¡¯s.

 Chapter 618: 345: Slaughtered to near extinction_2

    Chapter 618: Chapter 345: Slaughtered to near extinction_2


    ¡°Run!¡± the Silver Armored Strongman had given up resisting, but just as he thought of escaping,


    he felt an invisible soul power attack him, once again blurring his consciousness.


    ¡°Again?¡± The Silver Armored Strongman roared in his heart. Despite being prepared, he couldn¡¯t fend off this kind of soul invasion


    ¡ªit was even worse than before; his eyes started to look vacant.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Yet another terrifying spear light swept across the vast sky, this time, without any battle axes to block it, it brutally swept across the body of the Silver Armored Strongman, the tremendous impact immensely worsened his injuries.


    Just as Li Yuan was about to kill him with one strike,


    ¡°Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo!¡± the quiet void suddenly pierced out six rays of sword light, revealing six identical figures in Blood Robes.


    ¡°Shadow Clones? Suoduohe, I¡¯ve been waiting for you!¡± Li Yuan glanced at him, his gaze icy cold


    Suoduohe, one of the most terrifying among the four Flying Heaven Peak Experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization. His practiced Star Techniques were similar to those of ¡®Lude Nef,¡¯ also focusing on stealth and assassination.


    Unfortunately!


    His stealth techniques, in front of Li Yuan, seemed rather amateurish.


    On one hand, Li Yuan had a high level of comprehension of True Intent, and on the other, his Divine Sense was extremely strong, enabling him to easily pinpoint the real body of Suoduohe.


    This was the disadvantage of the Shadow Clones, once the real body was identified, more than 80% of the might of this Star Technique would disappear.


    Boom boom boom boom!


    Li Yuan instantly split into nine, each clone holding a long spear, emitting a terrifying aura, making it impossible for the present Flying Heaven Warriors to distinguish the real from the fakes.


    The Seventh Layers Star Technique ¡°Nine Shadows Clone.¡±


    ¡°Whir! Whir! Whir!¡± All nine Li Yuans burst forth simultaneously, Li Yuan¡¯s real body emitted a might that touched the sky, and though the other eight clones had only 20% of his original strength, their weapons were also formidable.


    Although the Star Technique was still at the Second Rank Limit.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind, far exceeded the time during the great battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, with nine spear lights subtly forming a very special combat formation, it was as if a first layer of heaven and earth pressed down.


    Puff~ Puff~ Puff~


    A series of spear lights swept across, penetrating those Blood Robe figures, Suoduohe¡¯s six illusionary bodies instantly were destroyed five times¡­ Eventually, the nine spear lights bizarrely charged towards a point in the void.


    That point, was precisely where Suoduohe¡¯s real body was!


    ¡°No!!¡± Suoduohe¡¯s eyes widened.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The convergence of nine spear lights was Li Yuan¡¯s strongest strike now, making Suoduohe¡¯s body explosively burst open, blood flying everywhere.


    ¡°Not cultivating in Body Refining Star Technique, life force indeed weak,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold.


    The most fearful aspect of Suoduohe was his stealth and shadow clones¡­ once these were ineffective, his threat in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes was actually the weakest among the four.


    Boom!


    After obliterating Suoduohe in one encounter, Li Yuan rapidly swooped towards the still-fleeing Silver Armored Strongman.


    ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± The Silver Armored Strongman¡¯s body, under the action of Origin Power, had significantly recovered.


    But his heart grew even more desperate.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    ¡°Hurry.¡± The other two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, witnessing the death scene of Suoduohe, were completely terrified and turned to flee madly like crazy.


    ¡°Clang!¡±


    ¡°Whir whir whir!¡± Accompanied by nine dazzling spear lights consecutively sweeping past, one of the spear lights completely pierced through the chest of the Silver Armored Strongman, his front combat armor shattered.


    His heart shattered too.


    Previously, Li Yuan worried about scaring away Suoduohe and hadn¡¯t unleashed his full strength, now he naturally showed no mercy.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡± The Silver Armored Strongman gritted his teeth, trying to trigger his Origin Pill to self-destruct.


    The Origin Pill, as the source of Origin Power, could be detonated by the martial artist if they wished¡­ only, it usually required time.


    ¡°Puff!¡±


    Another spear light swept across, the Black Chen Spear directly penetrated the Silver Armored Strongman¡¯s body, closely followed by long spear movements that instantly shattered the Origin Pill in his stomach.


    Dead!


    ¡°So long just to kill, the vitality was quite strong, in terms of strength much stronger than Wang Ling in those years.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was icy cold; these two were the strongest experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    He flicked his hand, gathering all the treasures of the Silver Armored Strongman, his gaze sweeping through the two still dispersing and fleeing in the distance.


    Rumble rumble~ one of them had even escaped out of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense range, diving directly into the earth.


    ¡°Must kill them all.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s thought moved, and another vast range of soul attack spread out, targeting the War Fortress, where those utterly terrified ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ Puff! Puff! Puff! Another dozen or so Flying Heaven Warriors silently fell.


    Boom! Li Yuan pursued one of them.


    Flying Heaven Peak Warrior, under full speed burst, reaching speeds over eight times the speed of sound, was not difficult.


    Simultaneously, a streak of green light shot from Li Yuan¡¯s arm, directly drilling into the depths of the earth.


    ¡­


    Several Fourth Rank Battleships of the Seven Star Civilization had not fully approached yet, but using their technological instruments, they could already see the scene above the War Fortress.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°He killed them all in the blink of an eye!¡±


    ¡°Suoduohe is dead! Ji Qi is dead! Is this the power of the Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°Compared to a few years ago, his strength has increased immensely.¡± Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors were all shocked, completely stunned.


    Then, they felt overwhelming joy in their hearts.


    With such a powerful ally, the Seven Star Civilization conquering the Mystic Demons Civilization was entirely foreseeable.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Charge through and break the War Fortress,¡± the leader in the black robe urged.


    ¡°Shefei is also dead!¡±


    ¡°Three of the four major threats are gone.¡± Through the projection, they saw the scene where Li Yuan killed the third Flying Heaven Peak Warrior. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that one escaped.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is fast, but it doesn¡¯t overwhelmingly outpace other Flying Heaven Peak Warriors.¡±


    ¡°To have killed three is already insane.¡±


    ¡­


    In the void, Li Yuan hovered in place.


    Underneath him, there were many dismembered limbs and flesh, belonging to another Flying Heaven Peak Expert he had just killed.


    ¡°Indeed, the Myriad Demons Civilization has quite a few treasures.¡± Li Yuan casually picked up the opponent¡¯s Storage Treasure and began to inquire into it.


    It held much more than those native to Flying Heaven.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, I should be able to kill all of them, and I¡¯ve also killed most of the other Flying Heaven Warriors.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s cold gaze swept over the distant area and the massive War Fortress: ¡°The remaining forces¡­ the army should be able to clean them up.¡±


    Li Yuan did not intend to finish all the tasks himself.


    It was too time-consuming.


    And to erase so many First Rank and Second Rank lives with soul attacks¡­ Li Yuan feared he wouldn¡¯t be able to perform soul attacks for a while.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Li Yuan soared into the sky, his figure surrounded by twisting light, already disappeared into the void.


    ¡­


    The Myriad Demons Civilization possessed several dozen Life Planets.


    A Life Planet often represented a ¡®Divine State.¡¯


    Night Peak Divine State, located at the Night Peak Planet, served as the entry and exit point of the Mystic Demons Star Realm.


    Additionally, most of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s strength in the Mystic Demons Star Realm came from the Night Peak Divine State.


    Night Peak Divine State, with its history, once birthed a divine being¡­ The Divine had long passed away, but the legacy left behind enabled the entire Divine State to have nearly twenty Demigods.


    Today, in the highest holy site of the Divine State, ¡®Night Peak Divine Temple¡¯, three guarding Demigods were all shocked while watching the scene revealed through the projection in the center of the temple.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Level Soul!¡±


    ¡°To be able to kill a Flying Heaven Peak so easily in direct combat, how strong must his Spear Technique be?¡± a long-haired man said somberly, ¡°I fear that his profundity in Spear Technique is comparable to ours, it¡¯s terrifying.¡±


    ¡°This has only been a few years?¡±


    ¡°Such little time, the East Demon Demigod has yet to respond.¡±


    ¡°The progression of Spirit Gun¡¯s strength is simply beyond comprehension, especially since his base remains at the Second Rank.¡± The three Demigods were slightly dazed, as Spirit Gun¡¯s strength surpassed their imagination and understanding.


    Not to mention the present, even throughout the lengthy years of the Myriad Demons Civilization, there had been no precedent.


    ¡°Tennessee, you must flee quickly.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun can¡¯t possibly stay here forever.¡± The golden-haired female Demigod spoke somberly: ¡°As long as you hide¡­ once Spirit Gun leaves, there is still a chance, the Mystic Demons Star Realm is immense.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Demigod,¡± the central phantom said solemnly.


    Tennessee, the only remaining Flying Heaven Peak Expert, fled into the depths of the Earth in the first instance.


    The depths of the Earth could obstruct vision.


    ¡°I have temporarily evaded the pursuit of Spirit Gun, it seems he did not follow.¡± Tennessee continued as his true body was fleeing rapidly.


    This slightly eased the minds of the three Demigods, relieved that not everyone was killed and one Flying Heaven Peak Warrior was left, which was significant.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°No!!¡± Tennessee¡¯s phantom suddenly burst forth with a low roar, filled with terror: ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡±


    A splat¡ª


    The phantom instantly dissipated! Fallen!


    The three Demigods were astonished.


    Snake? What snake?

    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, enshrouded in his battle suit, turned into a streak of light speeding forward, hurrying towards the entrance and exit of the Star Realm.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh¡ªa streak of cyan light shot through the clouds and mist, closely following and landing on Li Yuan¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, have you dealt with it?¡± Li Yuan communicated telepathically.


    Just a while ago, he had to simultaneously pursue two Flying Heaven Peak Experts and couldn¡¯t handle both, so he had dispatched Liu Bing to chase down Tennessee who had fled deep into the earth¡­ With Liu Bing¡¯s speed, catching up to a Flying Heaven Warrior wasn¡¯t difficult.


    ¡°Hehe, big brother, it was a piece of cake,¡± Liu Bing communicated back. ¡°Just an ordinary Flying Heaven, not even someone on Duanmu Hong¡¯s level could be my match.¡±


    Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    He often exchanged information with Liu Bing, and she was aware of some of the strong individuals from the Seven Star Civilization, so she roughly knew the strength of Duanmu Hong.


    ¡°Did you reveal yourself?¡± Li Yuan asked, which was crucial.


    Even though he had swept through dozens of Star Realms¡­ other than traveling, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t let Liu Bing take action.


    Xiao Bing was a trump card.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have.¡± Liu Bing shook her head continuously. ¡°I concealed my aura, closed in instantly, and killed him. He probably didn¡¯t have time to send a message.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan understood. Xiao Bing had done her best to hide; if the message still leaked, there was nothing to be done.


    ¡°Big brother, are we now rushing to the other Star Realms of the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± Liu Bing asked.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°However, the news of the great battle in the Mystic Demons Star Realm has spread. As long as the Myriad Demons Civilization isn¡¯t stupid, they should have ordered the withdrawal from their Star Realms¡­ So, first, let¡¯s go to the Star Realms bordering other civilizations.¡±


    ¡°Other civilizations might not receive the message so quickly.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll follow Big Brother¡¯s lead.¡± Liu Bing giggled, and her serpent¡¯s head extended from the sleeves: ¡°Wherever big brother points, I¡¯ll strike.¡±


    She didn¡¯t care about the victory or defeat of the Seven Star Civilization, she cared only about Li Yuan¡¯s feelings.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and only half an hour later.


    Within the Gao Dong Star Realm.


    ¡°Attack!¡± Li Yuan used a Soul Attack, directly killing more than a dozen Flying Heaven Warriors and finally alarming their leader.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± A voice full of shock and anger followed, and a half-man, half-beast muscular figure soared into the sky.


    In just an instant, the half-beast strongman saw Li Yuan, who had actively shown himself.


    ¡°Sorry.¡± Li Yuan moved his lips but didn¡¯t make any sound, then dashed directly towards the adversary.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With the Black Chen Spear in hand, Li Yuan instantly split into nine, releasing his full strength. Terrifying spear lights tore through the Vast Sky, attacking the half-beast at the Flying Heaven Peak from all sides.


    Each spear light, even those performed by his clones, were incredibly mighty.


    ¡°Put!¡±


    In full force, the adversary lasted only two moves against Li Yuan, unable to withstand any longer, his head was pierced by the long spear and exploded into pieces.


    Dead!


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Yuan thoroughly eliminated the Flying Heaven forces of the opposition and quickly moved on.


    ¡­


    As time elapsed, after two more Second Rank Star Realms were utterly devastated by Li Yuan, and several Flying Heaven Peak Experts were slain by him,


    The news finally couldn¡¯t be contained any longer.


    It spread thoroughly.


    First to spread the news was within the Seven Star Civilization itself, for the Myriad Demons Civilization had already become aware, and there was no point in forcibly hiding it anymore.


    So, the obstruction of news dissemination was lifted.


    ¡°What? Spirit Gun has reappeared?¡±


    ¡°In the Mystic Demons Star Realm, just in one battle, he killed three Flying Heaven Peak Experts and used soul attacks to kill dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors? Now our Seven Star Civilization has completely conquered the Mystic Demons Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Heavens! Prime Warrior, easily killing Level 35 Flying Heaven Experts, how strong must the Spirit Gun be?¡±


    ¡°After being silent for these years, I thought Spirit Gun had already broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, but I didn¡¯t expect that he hadn¡¯t yet broken through, still just a Prime Warrior.¡±


    ¡°Second Rank, yet possesses a Semi-Divine Level Soul!¡±


    ¡°This is unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°I feel like he¡¯s even more monstrous than Fang Hai!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no comparison.¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai is terrifying! But at least at the Prime Warrior stage, Spirit Gun is absolutely legendary! Undisputedly the strongest.¡± The higher echelons of the Seven Star Civilization, including the Demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors, were all passionately discussing and were shocked and astounded.


    ¡°This is a blessing for our civilization!¡±


    ¡­


    And the exploits of Spirit Gun, in an extremely short time, were also known by many Foreign Civilizations.


    On one hand, many Foreign Civilizations had intelligence channels within the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s upper echelons.


    On the other hand, the deliberate spread by the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s higher-ups, passing on the information to other civilizations, aimed to reduce the ¡®battle achievements¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization.


    As a result, in an extremely short time, many Star Realms from the pillaged Foreign Civilizations quickly came to understand.


    ¡°Is it really Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°Is the one slaughtering our Star Realm¡¯s strong ones truly the Seven Stars Humanity? Damned Seven Stars Humanity, damned Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°Such a terrifying Prime Warrior, able to possess a Semi-Divine Level Soul? How did he do that?¡±


    ¡°Daring to kill my disciple, he truly deserves death.¡± Many of the pillaged Foreign Civilizations were shocked and then filled with endless rage.


    This kind of covert assassination was the most frightening and infuriating.


    But, after the rage, these civilizations¡¯ higher-ups also felt powerless.


    ¡°We can¡¯t compete!¡±


    ¡°With such a defy-the-heavens Prime Warrior, with Spirit Gun present, these Second Level Star Realms are indefensible, let¡¯s retreat.¡±


    ¡°Why can the Seven Star Civilization continuously produce so many outstanding geniuses? This civilization has only risen for a few hundred years, right?¡±


    ¡°What can anger do? None of us Demigods can kill our way to the Seven Star Civilization.¡± Many of the damaged Foreign Civilizations could only swallow their losses.

 Chapter 620: 346: The Great Retreat! The Scheme of East Demon_2

    Chapter 620: Chapter 346: The Great Retreat! The Scheme of East Demon_2


    The competition between civilizations within the Dimensional Domain is just like this.


    The strong are able to occupy more Star Realms, take more resources, which in turn gives birth to even more powerhouses and geniuses¡­ and so the cycle continues.


    The presence of the Spirit Gun has given the Seven Star Civilization the upper hand in this phase of the Second Level Star Realm competition.


    ¡°Our civilization also has contact with the Second Level Star Realms that the Seven Star Civilization has connections with, and we haven¡¯t been attacked yet,¡± many Foreign Civilizations that haven¡¯t encountered attacks are also filled with worry.


    ¡°We should retreat first. Order the many Flying Heaven Warriors to scatter and hide, don¡¯t stay in the bases.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡°Spread out, hide deep within the lands of the Star Realm, even if the Spirit Gun possesses a Semi-Divine Level Soul, it¡¯s impossible to find everyone. Once the Spirit Gun reaches the Flying Heaven Level and can no longer enter the Second Level Star Realm, that¡¯s when we¡¯ll start the counterattack.¡±


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Many high-ranking officials from the Foreign Civilizations made the same decision¡ªFirst Rank, Second Rank all retreat, and Flying Heaven elites scatter completely out of sight.


    There was no choice.


    Accompanied by successive messages, the power of the Spirit Gun was confirmed, and the bloody slaughter he embarked upon made any civilized leadership wary¡­ Within just a few days, the Flying Heaven Warriors who had died by his hand numbered in the hundreds.


    In fact, according to the list provided by Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t attack and slaughter most of the Second Level Star Realms¡­ but these Foreign Civilizations didn¡¯t dare to bet on it.


    Who knew if the Spirit Gun would come killing?


    ¡°Empty?¡±


    ¡°Not a single Flying Heaven Life found?¡± Li Yuan arrived at a new target Star Realm.


    As Divine Sense enveloped the area, he immediately found that, apart from a few First Rank and Second Rank Lives that hadn¡¯t had the time to retreat¡­ there wasn¡¯t a single Flying Heaven elite.


    Normally, a War Base of this scale should have at least ten Flying Heaven Warriors as its guardians. How could there be none?


    There was only one possibility!


    These Flying Heaven elites must have already received the message and scattered.


    ¡°They must have escaped to various places within the Star Realm, they are difficult to pursue now.¡± Li Yuan frowned inwardly.


    A problematic situation had arisen.


    It must be understood that Li Yuan¡¯s initial reason for using secret Soul Attacks to eliminate the enemy was to delay the spread of the message as much as possible¡­


    Now it seems that, after the battle at the Mystic Demons Star Realm, the message had spread completely and could no longer be concealed. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Therefore, no one would hold their ground.


    Nor would any Flying Heaven elite, without certainty, stay and defend the War Fortress.


    ¡°With so many Star Realms, each Star Realm being so vast, it¡¯s not possible for me to search each one thoroughly,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    He could devote some time to sweep the Second Level Star Realms.


    It wasn¡¯t possible to spend years or decades doing this.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s destroy the Main Base. The construction of each Main Base has also cost these Foreign Civilizations a great deal,¡± Li Yuan began his move.


    He followed the outer perimeter of the enemy¡¯s Main Base, attacking each key node¡­ If any First Rank or Second Rank powerhouse attempted to activate technological or Origin Power weapons, they were obstructed, annihilated by a shred of the Soul.


    ¡°That damn Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s actually attacking our War Base.¡±


    ¡°Bastard!¡± Hiding within the Star Realms, many Alien Race Flying Heaven elites, one after another, seethed with rage, their hearts bleeding.


    If the Main Base were destroyed, even if the Spirit Gun never returned, it would be hard for them to win against the large forces of the Seven Star Civilization.


    However.


    In the face of the destructive attacks by the Spirit Gun, not a single Flying Heaven elite dared to step out.


    ¡­


    Faced with the sudden eruption of the Spirit Gun, although most Foreign Civilizations that were attacked felt anger, in comparison to their own civilization¡¯s size, the loss wasn¡¯t considered large¡­ and it¡¯s unlikely that there will be greater losses in the future.


    After all, most Foreign Civilizations only bordered one or two Star Realms with the Seven Star Civilization.


    If they were lost, they were lost.


    But those truly in discomfort and unease, were the Myriad Demons Civilization!!


    Myriad Demons Civilization and Seven Star Civilization bordered far too many Star Realms, not only countless Second Level Star Realms but also not a few Third Level Star Realms, and even Fourth Level Star Realms¡­ One could fully anticipate that in the future, the Spirit Gun might become even more formidable than Fang Hai.


    When Fang Hai was at the Flying Heaven Level, he was capable of slaying Demigods.


    And the Spirit Gun? Not to mention the future, even now, the number of strong individuals from Myriad Demons Civilization who have perished at the hands of the Spirit Gun is already startling.


    Hence, in an extremely short span of time, the highest echelons of Myriad Demons Civilization struggled to assemble in one place.


    Myriad Demons Star, the Main Star of Myriad Demons Civilization.


    As the core of the entire Dimensional Plane, it was the planet with the most numerous population and strongest beings within Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Myriad Demons Hall, then, was the highest temple of Myriad Demons Civilization, hiding its most profound secrets.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three formidable presences arrived, one draped in a black robe exuding an aura of endless destruction, another appeared rather scholarly like a refined gentleman.


    The last figure was the most mysterious, with an extremely vague presence.


    Three Phantom figures stood facing each other at a distance.


    They were all just projections of Divine Sense, not their true bodies.


    ¡°Bei Yue, Qiong Jin,¡± the phantom in the black robe slowly said, ¡°you are both already aware of the situation. Our hope of overthrowing the Seven Star Civilization is becoming increasingly faint, and even in the not-too-distant future, we could potentially be extinguished by them.¡±


    ¡°I believe neither of you wishes to see Myriad Demons Civilization come to such a pass.¡±


    The other two shadows silently listened.


    As Divine beings, they would not be easily intimidated by a few words from the other party.


    The fall of a civilization?


    As Divinities, even if Myriad Demons Civilization were indeed to be destroyed, they could traverse the starry skies and live freely alone.


    After living for over a thousand years, many relatives and even offspring were mostly long gone.


    To them, the billions of living beings within the civilization, even if they all perished, would hardly make an impact anymore.


    ¡°This time, with the outbreak of the Spirit Gun, many Second Level Star Realms have been ravaged. I have ordered numerous Star Realms to begin their retreat¡­¡± the black-robed phantom continued, ¡°These losses, however, are secondary¡­¡±


    ¡°East Demon, stop beating around the bush,¡± the most mysterious figure said in a deep voice, ¡°Spit it out, what do you want us to do?¡±


    ¡°You are the current leader of our civilization, and the war with the Seven Star Civilization was also spearheaded by you. Success or failure, it is all the same to me,¡± the mysterious figure looked at the Eastern Demon Deity.


    ¡°Qiong Jin, you are also a leader of our civilization,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity in a deep voice, staring at the other, ¡°You have also grown with the blessings of our civilization.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly why I¡¯m standing here listening to you,¡± the mysterious figure shook its head, ¡°If you don¡¯t get to the point, I shall take my leave.¡±


    ¡°East Demon.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s get straight to the matter,¡± the other figure, with a sacred aura, Bei Yue Deity, also said slowly.


    ¡°I need your help,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said solemnly, ¡°to try to clarify the true identity of the Spirit Gun and attempt to assassinate him.¡±


    ¡°The true identity of the Spirit Gun?¡± Bei Yue Deity wondered.


    ¡°According to the intelligence from the Seven Star Civilization, the Spirit Gun should be over fifty years old, already past the prime time for a breakthrough for a Prime Warrior¡­ Such an exceptional monster, even if pursuing the Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins, would not exceed 50 years old, it would be a losing proposition,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity spoke.


    Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity both nodded involuntarily.


    Like Qiong Jin Deity, most Demigods within Myriad Demons Civilization were unaware of his existence and were indifferent to the outcome of the war¡­ but they paid close attention to the Spirit Gun.


    After all, such a genius was unprecedented in the entire history of the Dimensional Domain.


    Wouldn¡¯t they be curious?


    ¡°Moreover, compared to the Spirit Gun¡¯s progress these past few years,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity continued, ¡°his advancement in the previous fifty years was a bit too slow, which is illogical.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Bei Yue Deity pondered.


    ¡°I suspect that his true identity does not match what the Seven Star Civilization has announced to the public,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said. ¡°Secondly, I wish to ask a Demigod to try to ambush him, to thoroughly eliminate the hidden danger.¡±


    ¡°Ask a Demigod?¡± A trace of light flashed in the eyes of both Qiong Jin and Bei Yue Demigods.


    Within an opposing civilization, if one could request a Demigod to carry out an assassination, that would be the highest-level action to take.


    ¡°Are you able to request a Demigod from within the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Qiong Jin Semi-Divine Level inquired softly, ¡°Are you confident?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Ruins Flame,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity looked at Qiong Jin Semi-Divine Level, ¡°You must be the one to make the approach.¡±

    ¡°I also only recently, by a stroke of luck, came to know of his existence,¡± stated the Eastern Demon Deity, exuding an aura of destruction.


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°Ruins Flame spends most of its time in slumber, and it has a lazy nature, so logically you shouldn¡¯t have known,¡± observed the Qiong Jin Deity to the Eastern Demon Deity. ¡°But¡­ I won¡¯t delve into the reasons.¡±


    The Eastern Demon Deity smiled.


    The existence of the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine was very special.


    Under normal circumstances, even for a Semi-Divine powerhouse, sweeping the area where Ruins Flame resided with Divine Sense, trying to detect its presence, was impossible.


    ¡°The strength of Ruins Flame is among the weakest of its rank,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head, ¡°if you wanted to assassinate Spirit Gun, you¡¯d have entirely different methods at your disposal, such as hiring a Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divine or ambushing in places like the Great Snow Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°How easy could that be?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head. ¡°Spirit Gun¡¯s movements are mysterious, and the Seven Stars Civilization is definitely guarding him heavily¡­ Moreover, it¡¯s not difficult for us to secretly trade information with the Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But to ask a Semi-Divine to risk their life to attempt an assassination on Spirit Gun? The price we have to pay is unimaginable.¡±


    He paused.


    ¡°The Seven Stars Civilization now isn¡¯t what it was over a hundred years ago, Semi-Divines aren¡¯t so easily misled,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity continued.


    The Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity both understood what the Eastern Demon Deity meant.


    Before Dongfang Ji rose, the Seven Stars Civilization had access to far fewer resources, treasures, and inheritances than today.


    Buying a Semi-Divine wasn¡¯t difficult.


    But more than a hundred years have passed, the Seven Stars Civilization has grown stronger, and even ordinary Semi-Divines aren¡¯t so easily swayed.


    ¡°As for the Great Snow Star Realm?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head. ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed? The realms targeted by Spirit Gun for attacks are all within controllable strength¡­ He never approaches those Second Level Star Realms which have spawned Semi-Divines or might spawn Semi-Divines.¡±


    ¡°The Great Snow Star Realm, however, openly has Semi-Divines and is a Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    After a moment of thought, both the Bei Yue Deity and the Qiong Jin Deity also deduced this point from the information.


    The Seven Stars Civilization did indeed protect Spirit Gun meticulously.


    Whether it was Spirit Gun¡¯s whereabouts or his information, whichever forces of the Myriad Demons Civilization tried to inquire, nothing was leaked.


    So far, none of the foreign civilizations even knew who Spirit Gun specifically was or where he was cultivating.


    Even the list of realms he had attacked, so far, seemed carefully selected to avoid any risks.


    ¡°The Flame Surge Star Realm, which contains extremely rich resources, the Seven Stars Civilization is highly likely not to let it pass by, and in our disclosed information,¡± he looked at the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°there are only two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, with Ruins Flame Semi-Divine having never shown himself. This is the best opportunity,¡±


    ¡°In terms of strength, Ruins Flame is considered very weak among the Semi-Divines, but to kill a Second Rank Life¡­ It is not difficult,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity.


    At the Flying Heaven Level, being able to battle across ranks with a Semi-Divine is legendary.


    A Prime Warrior, as capable as a Semi-Divine? That¡¯s absolutely impossible! Normally, a Semi-Divine could kill the opponent with just a thought.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed not difficult for Ruins Flame to kill Spirit Gun,¡± stated the Qiong Jin Deity. ¡°But you must also know, the price required for Ruins Flame to act is very high¡­ he rarely involves himself in conflicts between our two great civilizations.¡±


    ¡°No matter the price, we have to try,¡± declared the Eastern Demon Deity gravely.


    Among the three Deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization, he was the most ambitious and the one who deeply desired the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    In his heart, only by annihilating the Seven Stars Civilization and securing the treasures of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains could he hope to become a True God.


    To become a True God, he was willing to pay any price.


    ¡°Alright,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity nodded. ¡°Give me a moment, I will contact Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.¡±


    And with that, Qiong Jin Semi-Divine closed his eyes, seemingly using some special methods to try and contact Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Okay,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity didn¡¯t doubt him.


    Soon, Qiong Jin Semi-Divine opened his eyes. ¡°Ruins Flame has agreed to act, but you have to pay these treasures.¡±


    Whoosh~ The Qiong Jin Deity waved his hand.


    Immediately, a giant light screen appeared in the void of the Myriad Demons Hall, displaying a list of treasure names and the required quantities for each.


    ¡°What? So many? That¡¯s enough for several Divine Artifacts,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s face showed a slight change, skeptically looking at the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°Does Ruins Flame even need these items?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, you can ask Ruins Flame yourself,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity indifferently.


    The Eastern Demon Deity fell silent.


    Go ask himself?


    Ask my ass!


    ¡°Fine, I agree,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly, ¡°Qiong Jin, you tell Ruins Flame, I¡¯ll give him the Five Directions Divine Crystals worth of treasures as a deposit.¡±


    ¡°If he can kill Spirit Gun, I¡¯ll give him the rest of the treasures.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, if he cannot kill, but still confirms the identity of Spirit Gun, these Five Directions Divine Crystals of treasures need not be returned,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    ¡°No,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head, ¡°Only half.¡±


    ¡°Half?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity was puzzled.


    ¡°Ruins Flame said, pay half first, and he¡¯ll act once, even if he fails, he won¡¯t refund,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity said.


    ¡°That¡¯s excessive,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity frowned.


    The list of treasures was astonishing, even to a deity; they couldn¡¯t simply ignore it.


    ¡°If you¡¯re not willing, let¡¯s forget it. After all, it¡¯s you who wants Spirit Gun dead, I¡¯m just a mediator,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll just refuse Ruins Flame now.¡±


    Qiong Jin Semi-Divine acted nonchalant.


    ¡°Then forget it,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said quickly, staring at the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°Half it is, then. But you also tell Ruins Flame, I hope his intervention is worth these treasures.¡±

 Chapter 622: 347 The Fall of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_2

    Chapter 622: Chapter 347 The Fall of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_2


    ¡°Rest assured,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity.


    Soon after.


    While the Bei Yue Deity observed, the East Demon Deity and the Qiong Jin Deity discussed many details, and then the Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity departed.


    Inside the hall.


    Only the Divine Sense Phantom of the East Demon Deity remained.


    ¡°Scum!!¡± The East Demon Deity¡¯s gaze was ice-cold: ¡°Damn Qiong Jin, the matter of the assassination with the Spirit Gun, was clearly for the future of our entire civilization, yet he still tried to fleece me.¡±


    But he had no choice.


    Because the Ruins Flame Demigod was indeed the best choice.


    ¡­


    Far away from the Wan Mo Star Realm, on a distant planet.


    Qiong Jin Star, the location of the Vaulted Gold Divine Nation.


    However, the majority of the beings in the entire Divine Nation were unaware that their great ¡®Founding Deity¡¯ was still in the world.


    Deep underground, within a mysterious temple.


    ¡°Ha ha, I finally obtained it,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity laughed boisterously, sitting on the gleaming golden throne in the temple: ¡°This East Demon, I¡¯ve always asked him to send these treasures over, but he refused to give them to me.¡±


    ¡°This time, he has to cough them all up,¡± declared the Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡°Congratulations, Master, joyous celebration, Master,¡± said a white-robed youth respectfully standing in the temple.


    ¡°I know about the Spirit Gun wreaking havoc across numerous Second Level Star Realms, which is why you secretly passed the news of Ruins Flame to the East Demon. You did well,¡± praised the Qiong Jin Deity to his disciple.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°Will the Dong Ming Deity suspect us?¡± the white-robed youth couldn¡¯t help but ask. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°He will definitely suspect, he might even be sure that I¡¯m setting him up, cursing me right now,¡± chuckled the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°But he has no choice.¡±


    ¡°Letting the Ruins Flame make a move is the best opportunity.¡±


    ¡°As long as the East Demon still wants to invade the Seven Stars Civilization, it¡¯s necessary to eliminate the threat of the Seven Star Civilization as much as possible, and the Spirit Gun is the biggest potential threat,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity.


    The white-robed youth nodded, greatly admiring his master who had orchestrated such a grand scheme.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for that East Demon¡¯s good luck back then, getting recognized by the Myriad Demons Hall and becoming the first leader of the civilization, I wouldn¡¯t have set him up,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity casually, ¡°But he took the legacy of the Myriad Demons Hall and didn¡¯t share any benefits with me. He tried to oppress me with the great cause of civilization, forcing me to make a move, wishful thinking.¡±


    The white-robed youth listened.


    He knew very well that his master once loyally contributed and sacrificed greatly for the Myriad Demons Civilization, even assuming the position of a leader of the civilization after Ascending to God¡­ But the choice of the previous generation of civilization leaders, as well as the current civilization leader, the East Demon Deity, had utterly disappointed him.


    ¡°I was lucky too.¡±


    ¡°More than two hundred years ago, you captured the just-born Ruins Flame from the Flame Surge Star Realm,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity looked at the white-robed youth with a smile, ¡°Although I cultivated him with all my heart, I didn¡¯t hold much hope. Unexpectedly, he¡¯s become a Demigod without us realizing it.¡±


    ¡°He was fated to become Semi-Divine with his innate bloodline,¡± said the white-robed youth.


    ¡°Mm,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity nodded.


    If it weren¡¯t for the potential of the Ruins Flame, he wouldn¡¯t have invested so much effort, later sending him back to the Flame Surge Star Realm, hoping that one day he would be of some use.


    For example¡ªhaving sole control of the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    ¡°Master, will that spirit weapon really enter the Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± asked the white-robed youth, ¡°According to the latest message, he should currently be at the ¡®Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯ occupied by the Cloud Beast Civilization, attacking those Brood Nest lairs.¡±


    ¡°Whether he goes to the Flame Surge Star Realm or not is no longer within our control,¡± said the Qiong Jin Deity, ¡°Many things, whether they can succeed or not, depend on luck.¡±


    ¡­


    Flame Surge Star Realm, thousands of kilometers deep beneath the great earth, a mysterious place with endless searing magma.


    A massive creature was snoring deeply in the magma.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er,¡± a deep voice suddenly echoed in the massive creature¡¯s mind.


    Whoosh!


    The massive creature abruptly opened its eyes, revealing crimson pupils, but his eyes were full of joy. With a whoosh, he took out a crystal-clear sphere and said deeply, ¡°Father.¡±


    This was his most revered adoptive father.


    The years he spent living with his adoptive father were the most comfortable times in his long life.


    ¡°How have you been lately, Yan¡¯er?¡± the voice of the Qiong Jin Deity came from the crystal sphere.


    ¡°All is well, only that I am unable to see Father,¡± the massive creature was very obedient.


    ¡°The core depths of the earth are your homeland,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s voice was gentle, ¡°Living here is where you have the hope of Ascending to God. Once you become a deity, we father and son will naturally meet again.¡±


    ¡°Your child will strive hard,¡± the massive creature promised gravely.


    The Qiong Jin Deity seemed approving on the surface, but he didn¡¯t care much in his heart¡­ For the Ruins Flame to become a Demigod had exceeded his expectations.


    A deity? Only a theoretical possibility remained.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, I have come this time to tell you something,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity said, ¡°Within the Seven Star Civilization, there is a very powerful Second Rank Life¡­¡±


    The Qiong Jin Deity quickly explained the situation.


    ¡°Second Rank?¡± The massive creature¡¯s voice contained a hint of amusement, ¡°Father, rest assured, as long as he rushes over, your child can crush him with a flip of the hand.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be careless!¡± the Qiong Jin Deity spoke gravely, ¡°He may not be your opponent naturally, but such a peerless talent might have some life-preserving item¡­ In any case, be careful.¡±


    ¡°Father once said, even a lion should use all its strength to fight a rabbit, your child will be careful,¡± said the massive creature, ¡°Your child will go right away to wait attentively beneath Nine Flames City.¡±


    Nine Flames City.


    That is the Main City of the Wan Mo Civilization within the Flame Surge Star Realm, where many beings live.


    Not long after.


    Boom~ The massive creature surged through layer upon layer of magma, quickly heading from deep within the earth towards the surface.


    ¡­


    Rob Sea Star Realm, above a massive Brood Nest lair.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    Li Yuan, completely enveloped in his Battle Suit, stood in the void, brandishing the huge Long Spear in his hand. The Long Spear seemed to contain the fearsome Might capable of destroying everything.

 Chapter 623: 347 The Fall of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_3

    Chapter 623: Chapter 347 The Fall of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_3


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    The spear light cut across the vast sky, instantly destroying the layers of black fog and directly reaching the thick shell of the brood nest below, immediately causing it to begin shattering layer by layer.


    ¡°Hisss~¡± The astonishing penetrative power contained within the spear light continued to maintain its formidable attacking force even after passing through the shell, incessantly annihilating the lives of the many brood beasts inside¡­


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Ah~¡± Numerous brood beasts wailed, followed by a continuous cascade of death.


    Strike after strike.


    Finally, the brood nest¡¯s outermost ¡®beast body¡¯ was completely destroyed by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan moved again, his figure flashed, turning into a bolt of lightning and entered the interior of the brood nest.


    Rumble~


    The spear light blossomed incessantly; without the defense of the beast body, even the group of extremely powerful brood beasts inside couldn¡¯t withstand Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    It was a one-sided slaughter.


    Only a moment later.


    Boom! The enormous brood nest burst open, slowly collapsing.


    Li Yuan, covered in blood, soared into the sky, with a basketball-sized and blood-red, bizarre spherical crystal floating next to him.


    Myriad Beasts Blood Source!


    ¡°The third brood nest has been breached, and the entire Rob Sea Star Realm has essentially been leveled,¡± Li Yuan overlooked the land, revealing a slight smile.


    Of many Second Level Star Realms, the one he most wanted to annihilate was the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    But Li Yuan had been patient.


    It wasn¡¯t until his identity was exposed that he returned to Blue Star Xia Country and took action against the Rob Sea Star Realm¡­ The three brood nests that Xia Country had never been able to deal with in the past were now eradicated in one fell swoop.


    ¡°Mature brood nests are indeed a challenge, even for Flying Heaven Peak experts,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes fell on the Myriad Beasts Blood Source: ¡°This Myriad Beasts Blood Source is truly miraculous¡ªthose brood beasts combined together, although they¡¯re merely Second Rank, I still couldn¡¯t exterminate them at a soul level.¡±


    ¡°These must all be due to the Myriad Beasts Blood Source.¡±


    The last Myriad Beasts Blood Source he obtained was given to Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    The three new ones he had found, Li Yuan didn¡¯t plan to hand over to the Seven Stars Treasury; instead, he was preparing to study them himself and perhaps make some discoveries.


    ¡°With the three great brood nests destroyed, the Cloud Beast Civilization can no longer nurture large numbers of exotic beasts.¡±


    ¡°And my Seven Star Civilization army will be able to infiltrate deeper into the Rob Sea Star Realm, even taking over the entire Star Realm,¡± Li Yuan silently said: ¡°From now on, the Rob Sea Star Realm will no longer be Xia Country¡¯s meat grinder.¡±


    Li Yuan agreed with some of Dongfang Ji¡¯s views¡ªthat some Star Realms should be preserved as training grounds for the future generations of First and Second Rank martial artists.


    However, Star Realms like the Rob Sea Star Realm must be eradicated. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan took a deep breath and immediately transmitted the news back via his smart ring: ¡°Senior Bai Shan, all brood nests have been utterly destroyed, even the obstructing Flying Heaven exotic beasts have been slain, mission accomplished!¡±


    This simple sentence already said a lot.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Come back soon, don¡¯t linger in the Star Realm; leave the rest to us,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine replied.


    ¡­


    Deep within the Rob Sea Star Realm, inside a cavern.


    ¡°Are they all dead?¡±


    ¡°All three brood nests, not a single one left?¡± The black exotic beast ¡®Elden¡¯ muttered to himself: ¡°Those new fools, actually thought they could use the brood nests to resist?¡±


    ¡°Fortunately!¡±


    ¡°Lucky I¡¯ve been hiding, not heeding the foolish commands of Wudong Xue,¡± Elden reflected in secret.


    Since the last battle of Rob Sea.


    For these years, Elden had been hiding, hardly ever showing his face.


    Even the Seven Star Civilization was unaware of his existence.


    ¡°To live, is to last,¡± Elden¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly: ¡°Next, let¡¯s see how things go.¡±


    ¡°If the Seven Star Civilization sets up a breeding area in the Rob Sea Star Realm, and Wudong Xue and the others show no activity¡­ once that Spirit Gun reaches Flying Heaven Level, I¡¯ll submit to the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    As long as he submits, the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t go as far as to kill him.


    Moreover, once the Spirit Gun advances, unable to enter the Second Level Star Realm, the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t have the assurance to kill a Flying Heaven Middle Stage expert within the Rob Sea Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Outside the Rob Sea Star Realm, amid the swirling sands, stood several War Fortresses.


    Within one of the gigantic warships.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors were anxiously waiting for news; they were the high-level commanders on the front lines of the Rob Sea Star Realm battlefield.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°We won! We won,¡± a Flying Heaven Warrior murmured, his voice filled with excitement: ¡°The Sky Combat Aircraft has sent a scouting report, all three brood nests have been completely destroyed, Spirit Gun has achieved a total victory! A total victory!¡±


    ¡°From today on.¡±


    ¡°Our million-strong army along the Rob Sea Star Realm border will become history, we no longer need to assemble such forces to defend here,¡± said the excited Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°We won.¡±


    ¡°We finally won.¡± Other Flying Heaven Warriors, although they had expected it, could not help but become excited in the moment.


    They had been waiting for this day for so long.


    Over the years, every major battle in the Rob Sea Star Realm represented a huge number of casualties.


    ¡°We won? Spirit Gun also killed three Flying Heaven Alien Race experts?¡± Lin Yue, one of the highest commanders, inwardly sighed as he exchanged glances with a few other Flying Heaven Warriors.


    They were all aware of Spirit Gun¡¯s true identity.


    Because they knew, they were all the more astonished.


    ¡°Where is Spirit Gun? When will he come out?¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior could not help but ask: ¡°I want to thank him in person.¡±


    The other Flying Heaven Warriors also looked on curiously.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to inquire.¡±


    ¡°The whereabouts and messages of Spirit Gun are one of civilization¡¯s topmost secrets,¡± Lin Yue¡¯s gaze swept over the crowd: ¡°Don¡¯t look at me¡ªI don¡¯t know either, and even if I did, I couldn¡¯t tell.¡±

 Chapter 624: 347: Destruction of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_4

    Chapter 624: Chapter 347: Destruction of the Rob Sea! Demigod! Demigod!_4


    ¡°You¡¯d better not try to track him either,¡± Lin Yue shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Otherwise, when the investigation traces back to you, don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you.¡±


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s such a rare genius that we can¡¯t even make his acquaintance,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors also knew the importance of discretion.


    But they were full of gratitude and extreme admiration for this mysterious ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯.


    ¡­


    Huh!


    Li Yuan had already passed through the spatial ripples of the Rob Sea Star Realm¡¯s entrance and exit and returned to Blue Star.


    Suppressing his aura and appearance, he silently entered another, empty Fourth Rank Battleship in the high sky.


    ¡°Senior Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly.


    Between the Seven Star Civilizations and the Seven Great Planets, all the ¡®Interior Dimensional Star Realms¡¯ are only Third Level Star Realms, which demi-gods cannot pass through.


    Therefore, demi-gods must traverse the starry sky, spending lengthy years to reach other planets.


    Therefore, when Li Yuan went to different planets to sweep through them, he was protected by different demi-gods.


    Coming to Blue Star, naturally, it was Bai Shan Semi-Divine who was tasked with his close protection.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this time, I have to thank you on behalf of the entire Xia Country,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine, dressed in casual clothing and sincerely moved.


    Admiration filled his eyes.


    Not long ago, when he learned that Li Yuan had a ¡®Semi-Divine Level Soul,¡¯ he was also shocked.


    Too fast.


    Li Yuan¡¯s growth was so rapid that it left him somewhat disoriented.


    ¡°Senior jests,¡± Li Yuan said seriously. ¡°I am also a member of Xia Country. It is my wish to eradicate this cancer.¡±


    ¡°You have not only eradicated a cancer for our Xia Country! You¡¯ve also made contributions to the entire civilization,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine. ¡°How many Second Level Star Realms have you eradicated up to now?¡±


    ¡°More than forty.¡±


    Li Yuan responded, ¡°The list of targets was set by the Alliance Hierarch. There are still three star realms remaining that haven¡¯t been swept clean, and there¡¯s only the last target on Blue Star, the ¡®Flame Surge Star Realm¡¯.¡±


    Just a few short days.


    Li Yuan had swept clean more than half of the 47 star realm targets on the list.


    Of course, the more he progressed, the harder the cleaning became, and those foreign Flying Heaven experts were very cunning.


    ¡°Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded. ¡°This star realm is rich in resources. Although much of it is occupied by the Myriad Demons Civilization, we¡¯ve also been secretly investigating. Their Flying Heaven Peak experts probably number only two or three, which shouldn¡¯t pose a threat to you.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Two or three? Even if there were ten Flying Heaven Peak experts, or even if among them there were those at the 36th level, in fact, he could fight them himself.


    ¡°My only concern is that their Flying Heaven Warriors have already scattered throughout the star realm,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°This will make it troublesome for you to pursue and kill them.¡±


    ¡°If we cannot exterminate their living forces, our hope of occupying the Flame Surge Star Realm is nearly a pipe dream,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°I will do my best,¡± said Li Yuan.


    In many star realms, the power of Seven Star Civilization wasn¡¯t considered strong.


    Thus, if Li Yuan couldn¡¯t eliminate enough of the enemy¡¯s living forces, merely destroying the enemy¡¯s war fortresses¡­ the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t be able to gain the upper hand, at most only improving the situation somewhat.


    ¡°Do your best,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine. ¡°Also, be careful. If you encounter a demi-god, you need to flee immediately.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, senior.¡±


    ¡°The star realms I have slaughtered are mostly just Second Rank Life forms, and Flying Heaven Peak forms are very rare,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Demi-gods? The chance for these star realms to give birth to a demi-god is extremely low.¡±


    Demi-gods? Even for highly perceptive human strongmen, who rose from weakness step by step, it¡¯s typical that only one in a thousand aspiring Flying Heavens could become a demi-god.


    Becoming a demi-god could never be that easy.


    Logically, the Flame Surge Star Realm shouldn¡¯t have a demi-god¡­ otherwise, Dongfang Ji wouldn¡¯t have sent Li Yuan to annihilate it.


    ¡­


    The Fourth Rank Battleship moved at incredible speeds.


    Soon after, Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine had arrived at the entrance to the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    Quickly,


    Li Yuan entered the Flame Surge Star Realm alone once again.


    This was a rather vast Star Realm, the sky dominated by a scorching sun, radiating blinding light.


    ¡°So hot!¡±


    ¡°The air temperature here could probably dehydrate and kill an ordinary person in an extremely short amount of time,¡± Li Yuan, standing on thin air, felt the environmental energy of Heaven and Earth around him. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The environment here was inhospitable and not very suitable for ordinary people to thrive.


    ¡°However,¡±


    ¡°The mineral resources of the entire Flame Surge Star Realm are indeed rich, spanning forty thousand kilometers; who knows how many treasures are hidden. If they could be captured and mined, it would also benefit the entire civilization.¡± Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, quickly heading for the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s ¡®Main Base¡¯.


    Civilizations usually established their main bases at the Star Realm¡¯s entrance, high above.


    For convenience in retreating and support.


    As with the dozens of actions in the past, Li Yuan, ¡®following the map¡¯, quickly arrived at the Myriad Demons Civilization Main Base.


    This was a colossal base built between valleys.


    Apart from Li Yuan, hundreds of miles away in the high sky, a huge warship lingered, belonging to the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization in the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    More than ten Flying Heaven Warriors, all filled with anticipation, were also aware of the feats of the Spirit Gun.


    Just as Li Yuan was about to approach the enemy¡¯s main base,


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed slightly. His soul was so powerful that it could be called Semi-Divine Peak level, and he was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth around him.


    In that instant just now,


    Li Yuan faintly sensed that, in that massive city among the distant mountains, there seemed to be a terrifying force hidden.


    This caused Li Yuan to stop, hesitating somewhat.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted. Even though he was over a hundred kilometers away, he could see clearly that in the valley outside the colossal main base, the earth suddenly ripped apart.


    A giant creature, its body seemingly flowing with magma, burst forth from the torn earth.


    ¡°Semi-Divine?¡±

    ¡°Semi-Divine?¡±

 Chapter 625: 348: All Means Exhausted

    Chapter 625: Chapter 348: All Means Exhausted


    The other party guessed his real identity with a single glance. Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too surprised; he never expected to keep masquerading as the ¡°Spirit Gun¡± indefinitely.


    A demigod, with the power of a Semi-Divine Level soul, could see through the Phantom Spirit Garment and sense the true soul aura and appearance of the other.


    And in the entire Seven Star Civilization, there were not many Martial Artists as formidable as that.


    Exposed? That wasn¡¯t very important.


    The key was to stay alive and escape.


    Swoosh! As Li Yuan made a lightning-fast retreat, he triggered his messaging technique and immediately sent an urgent message to Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Lant Semi-Divine, Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, and others: ¡°Urgent situation, Flame Surge Star Realm, Alien Race Semi-Divine! Alien Race Semi-Divine!¡±


    Almost at the same time,


    Li Yuan had sent a message to Gu You and also soul communicated with Liu Bing.


    Of course, even without Li Yuan¡¯s messages, whether it was Gu You, Liu Bing, or Qiu Bingzun, they had already sensed the presence of that terrifyingly intense Semi-Divine existence outside.


    ¡°Thinking of escaping?¡±


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going!¡± The Ruins Flame Semi-Divine, with his massive body and hooves stepping over the void, focused his cold eyes on Li Yuan, who was hundreds of kilometers away, and had already turned into a bolt of lightning, roaring as he charged towards Li Yuan.


    His heart was also filled with shock.


    ¡°Is it really Li Yuan, the one prewarned by father¡¯s intelligence? Spirit Gun, is it actually him? According to the report, Li Yuan is only twenty-five years old,¡± the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine thought secretly: ¡°A human, twenty-five years old, able to reach this stage?¡±


    Indeed, he usually lay dormant, living within the Flame Surge Star Realm and having no natural enemies, so his experiences and mindset were quite ordinary.


    But after all, he was more than two hundred years old, and coupled with the operation of a Semi-Divine Level soul, he immediately understood how terrifying a genius this was.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    ¡°Such an unparalleled genius is the biggest obstacle on my father¡¯s path! He must be killed,¡± thought the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine with intensified murderous intent.


    As he pursued, he too passed on the information to the Eastern Demon Deity.


    Boom!


    The Ruins Flame Semi-Divine moved at an astonishing speed, covering the distance with a single leap, surpassing the Flying Heaven Warrior with breathtaking Burst Speed as he rapidly closed in on Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°A demigod? There¡¯s actually an Alien Race Semi-Divine?!¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is fleeing! The Alien Race Semi-Divine is in pursuit.¡± Hundreds of kilometers away on a Fourth Rank Battleship, several Flying Heaven Warriors gazed at the scene projected on the screen, utterly dumbfounded.


    Because they were so far away, they did not hear the voice of the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine, nor did they know that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    But, they had received the message from Spirit Gun, and judging by the Burst Speed of that Flame Exotic Beast, they too could make the connection.


    ¡°The flight speed of Spirit Gun is 2396 meters per second.¡±


    ¡°The flight speed of the Alien Race Semi-Divine has reached¡­ 7449 meters per second!!¡±


    ¡°In one second, he could fly nearly 8 kilometers!! This!¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors all trembled inside.


    Just as Prime Warriors generally could only run while Flying Heaven Warriors could fly and escape swiftly, there was a fundamental difference in speed.


    The same was true for demigods.


    Ruins Flame Semi-Divine, being one of the weaker among the demigods, nonetheless had a transformed body and Semi-Divine Origin Power, which fundamentally far surpassed any Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ reaching ten times the speed of sound was extremely difficult for them.


    For someone like Spirit Gun, a Martial Artist, reaching seven times the speed of sound was already remarkable.


    But the flying speed of demigods could easily exceed twenty times the speed of sound.


    ¡°If this goes on, in just over twenty seconds, Spirit Gun will be caught,¡± thought these Flying Heaven Warriors with their hearts in their throats.


    Spirit Gun and the Alien Race Semi-Divine were only a hundred kilometers apart.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Look quickly! Below Spirit Gun¡¯s feet.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Flying Serpent, such a beautiful Green Snake, I¡¯ve never seen such a beautiful Flying Serpent before, where did it come from?¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors watched, puzzled to themselves.


    ¡°Such a fast speed, this! The speed soared suddenly, 3567 meters per second, 4678 meters per second, 5876 meters per second¡­ Carrying Li Yuan, the Flying Serpent reached 7022 meters per second.¡±


    ¡°The monitors show that the Flying Serpent is only a Second Rank Life,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors on the battleship were completely flabbergasted.


    A Second Rank Life with a flight speed that could surpass twenty times the speed of sound?


    What kind of serpent was this?


    ¡­


    On Blue Star, above an inconspicuous War Fortress in Europa Continent.


    Inside the warship.


    ¡°Hmm? An Alien Race Semi-Divine? How can there be a demigod in the Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s heart quivered.


    He was responsible for Li Yuan¡¯s protection and naturally waited inside the warship for news from Li Yuan.


    Therefore, he was the first to receive Li Yuan¡¯s message, followed by the real-time video message transmitted back from the Star Realm¡¯s warship.


    ¡°A Second Rank Flying Serpent with a flight speed surpassing twenty times the speed of sound? Assisting Li Yuan? Where did it come from?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine was stunned. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just then.


    Buzz~Buzz~ Light converged rapidly, forming two Phantoms in the hall, each exuding a significant aura.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, Lant,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine looked towards the two.


    The visitors were none other than Dongfang Ji and Lant Semi-Divine.


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Lant Semi-Divine asked anxiously, ¡°How can there be an Alien Race Semi-Divine in the Flame Surge Star Realm?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure, see for yourselves,¡± sighed Bai Shan Semi-Divine as he waved his hand.


    The holographic screen projection condensed, revealing the scene detected by the warship, as Dongfang Ji and Lant Semi-Divine immediately looked over.


    ¡°A Flying Serpent? So fast? Is it a Third Rank Flying Serpent?¡± Lant Semi-Divine displayed a shock.


    The data was clearly detailed in the projection.


    ¡°No, according to the detection, it¡¯s only a Second Rank Life,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine in a deep voice: ¡°According to my Seven Star Civilization¡¯s database, this Flying Serpent should be the fastest Second Rank Life ever discovered in our civilization¡¯s history.¡±


    ¡°I have no idea how this Flying Serpent achieved it,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Heaven Snake!¡± Dongfang Ji suddenly said: ¡°A Divine Beast of legend, ranked alongside the True Phoenix and Divine Dragon in the Divine Realm, bearing a resounding reputation, capable of Ascending to God once it reaches maturity.¡±

 Chapter 626: 348: All Means Exhausted_2

    Chapter 626: Chapter 348: All Means Exhausted_2


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Divine Beast?¡± Both Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were startled.


    This touched on something they knew little about.


    ¡°This Heaven Snake must be what Li Yuan acquired from the Mingxu Star Realm, and it must be his Spirit Beast,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°With the help of the Heaven Snake, Li Yuan might be able to escape.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a contingency plan?¡± Lant Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Before the operation began, I had inquired with Li Yuan, and he said that even when facing a demigod, he had the assurance of preserving his life¡­ that¡¯s why I allowed him to join the battle,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly, ¡°I believe in him.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore,¡±


    ¡°The Star Realms I have selected are all under a great deal of control¡­ but we cannot foresee all circumstances,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°With rewards come risks.¡±


    ¡°There is no such thing as only reaping benefits in this world.¡±


    ¡°In the Second Level Star Realm, we cannot intervene,¡± Dongfang Ji said gravely, ¡°Now, we can only observe Li Yuan himself.¡±


    Lant Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine exchanged looks, filled with worry.


    Prime Warrior, to escape with his life from the hands of a demigod?


    How difficult that might be!


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Wan Mo Star, inside a magnificent and imposing temple.


    ¡°What? Spirit Gun is Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is Li Yuan!¡± The East Demon Deity received this news and was also slightly shocked.


    He was eager to kill the Spirit Gun.


    He also knew the name Li Yuan, a supremely young genius from the Seven Star Civilization.


    In fact, considering the rate of progression in strength of the Spirit Gun, he had guessed that the other party might very well be a young genius.


    However, when Ruins Flame Semi-Divine communicated confirming that Spirit Gun was under thirty, plus the use of a gun, his understanding of the True Meaning of Earth¡­ all these aspects essentially confirmed one thing¡ªSpirit Gun was Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is it really Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°This!!¡± For a moment, the East Demon Deity was unsure whether he should be relieved that the original two potential threats were now one or if it meant a formidable enemy had emerged.


    Spirit Gun at fifty years old.


    The difference between this and a twenty-five-year-old Spirit Gun was simply too great.


    The former might be due to the accumulation of time, becoming extremely powerful, but the latter, that would purely be a result of terrifying talent.


    ¡°He must be killed.¡±


    ¡°At all costs, he must be killed!¡± The East Demon Deity immediately issued a death order to Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    But soon.


    ¡°An astonishingly fast Flying Serpent? Unable to catch up in a short time?¡± The East Demon Deity received another message from Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    He was somewhat astonished, ¡°A Flying Serpent with a flying speed exceeding twenty times the speed of sound? Where did this monster come from?¡±


    For an instant.


    The East Demon Deity suddenly remembered information from the Mystic Demons Star Realm, before Tennessee¡¯s fall, which seemed to have involved a surprise attack by a serpent.


    ¡°Such terrifying speed.¡±


    ¡°The other aspects must be no less formidable,¡± the East Demon Deity thought uneasily, ¡°Ruins Flame, can you manage to kill him?¡±


    At this point, the East Demon Deity had no other choice.


    He could only wait.


    ¡­


    In the Flame Surge Star Realm, ten thousand meters in the air, a gale howled, with not a cloud in sight.


    Boom! Boom!


    A huge figure, with a body that seemed like an incarnation of flames, streaked across the Vast Sky like a Fallen Star, frantically pursuing, its eyes full of killing intent, ¡°Kill! Kill! The enemy of my father, kill them all!¡±


    Then, at the end of the void.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°Swoosh!¡± The slender and beautiful blue Flying Serpent, with wings seemingly cutting through the void, carrying Li Yuan, broke through the limit time after time, madly fleeing.


    ¡°So fast!¡± Li Yuan, lying on Liu Bing¡¯s back, felt a surge of blue air currents swirling around, merging him and the beast into one, his heart pounding.


    With comparison, Li Yuan understood Liu Bing¡¯s terror.


    A demigod powerhouse!


    Perhaps the other party was not adept at flight speed, but being a demigod after all¡­ it was only slightly better than Second Rank Liu Bing.


    This was enough to prove how extraordinary Liu Bing¡¯s flight speed was.


    ¡°However, after this battle, I¡¯m afraid all forces will be aware of Xiao Bing¡¯s existence,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°However, if everything goes according to plan, I will soon be at the Flying Heaven Level, and will not be afraid of covetous eyes.¡±


    Liu Bing was the ace in the hole, not to be openly exposed until a life or death moment.


    But now, it was such a moment.


    ¡°Big brother, I have given my all,¡± came Liu Bing¡¯s voice in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, ¡°but we are still slower, and the demigod will catch us in approximately 312 seconds.¡±


    The distance between the two sides shortened by several hundred meters every second.


    ¡°Keep running.¡±


    ¡°The entrance to the Star Realm is less than three thousand kilometers from here,¡± Li Yuan communicated, ¡°As long as we burst through the Star Realm entrance, we will be safe.¡± Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In a necessary moment, we must fight with all we have.¡±


    ¡°If we are really driven to a desperate situation, we can hide in the Cave Heaven Treasure,¡± Li Yuan reassured Liu Bing.


    Hiding in the Cave Heaven Treasure was the last step.


    Once hidden, with the Demigod¡¯s powerful soul power to inquire in all directions, they might sense the existence of the Cave Heaven Treasure¡­ there might be nothing the other party could do.


    Boom! Boom!


    One chasing, one escaping, they both crossed the ten thousand meters in the air, pushing their speeds to the limit.


    ¡°What impressive speed.¡±


    ¡°What a mysterious Flying Serpent,¡± Ruins Flame Semi-Divine watched intently, ¡°If it were Third Rank, simply increasing the base would send the speed skyrocketing¡­ then I definitely couldn¡¯t match up.¡±


    ¡°But being only Second Rank, it¡¯s ultimately not as good as me.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll catch up, likely in about five minutes,¡± Ruins Flame Semi-Divine estimated inwardly, ¡°That¡¯s enough time.¡±


    Five minutes.


    With the Flying Serpent¡¯s speed, it could cover roughly two thousand kilometers¡­ still far from the Star Realm entrance.


    Seconds ticked by anxiously.


    In a flash, more than two hundred seconds passed, and the two had crossed unknown mountains and rivers.


    Thankfully, they were both flying high.


    If they were to travel along the ground, they would likely have triggered a terrifying disaster.


    Such was the power of a Demigod!


    A major battle spanning thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers was just the norm.

 Chapter 627: 348: All Means Exhausted_3

    Chapter 627: Chapter 348: All Means Exhausted_3


    Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s strength were both below that of a Demigod.


    But at least, Liu Bing had nearly reached Demigod speed.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod relentlessly pursued them, now only a little more than ten kilometers from Li Yuan and Liu Bing.


    From such a distance, a soul attack was still out of reach, but a material attack was sufficient.


    ¡°Condense!¡±


    The Ruins Flame Demigod let out a low roar, and his body suddenly burst into flames. A massive amount of fire converged, forming a special pattern on his body¡¯s surface.


    Hiss hiss hiss~


    Countless fire powers followed the special patterns, eventually converging on the Demigod¡¯s head, gathering into a large orb of light atop his single horn.


    At that moment, the Ruins Flame Demigod resembled a god of flames, his might overwhelming.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    The Ruins Flame Demigod watched Li Yuan and Liu Bing still fleeing through the void and with a thought¡ª


    ¡°Boom!¡± The giant ball of fire burst forth, shooting across the vast sky, hurtling towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°I can¡¯t catch up with you.¡±


    ¡°But can my Demigod-level Origin Power not catch up with you either?¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod was filled with murderous intent.


    An attack formed by Demigod-level Origin Power drawing on the Power of Heaven and Earth was much faster than the speed of bodily flight.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± The ball of fire howled as it approached.


    The whole world seemed to grow blindingly bright.


    Liu Bing summoned the Mysteries of the Wind to create the ¡°Domain of Wind,¡± a veil of blue currents covering a kilometer radius that was instantly obliterated before the fireball.


    It was unstoppable.


    This was the power of Demigod-level Origin Power!


    Even if Liu Bing¡¯s Law Comprehension was higher, her foundation was too weak. In the face of absolute strength, she still appeared frail.


    The might of this force sent shivers down Li Yuan¡¯s spine.


    Li Yuan knew if they did nothing and let the giant orb hit them, they would likely be annihilated on the spot.


    ¡°Xiao Bing! Team up as planned!¡± Li Yuan transmitted, ¡°Go all out!!¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan stood on Liu Bing¡¯s back, his body suddenly enlarging to five meters tall, clutching the Black Chen Spear, pouring Origin Power into it.


    Immediately after, with a shake of the spear, he invoked the Mysteries of True Intent for both Earth and Wind, directing the Black Chen Spear to unleash a dazzling spear light, thrusting straight out.


    ¡°Sky Splitter!!¡±


    Liu Bing¡¯s massive body shrunk drastically as well, from over thirty meters long to just a little more than ten meters, and a claw lashed out fiercely. This claw seemed to stir the Wind Law between heaven and earth, as if to tear the cosmos apart, creating a terrifying claw light.


    One spear! One claw!


    Both attacks jointly bombarded the incoming fireball.


    ¡°Peng!!!¡±


    They collided instantly, like a nuclear explosion, releasing a horrific shockwave that swept in all directions, sure to cover hundreds of kilometers.


    Liu Bing and Li Yuan¡¯s bodies were sent flying backward, before immediately using the momentum to retreat furiously.


    ¡°Hu!¡±


    Liu Bing¡¯s claw hooked on to Li Yuan¡¯s Combat Armor, maintaining speed without slowing, as they continued to flee desperately.


    The shockwave blasted onto the Ruins Flame Demigod, having no significant effect on her.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°My Demigod-level Origin Power, couldn¡¯t annihilate them in a head-on assault? It seems they aren¡¯t even injured.¡± The complexion of the Ruins Flame Demigod changed, ¡°This is troublesome.¡±


    Long-range attacks ineffective!


    That left only close combat.


    Hu!


    The Ruins Flame Demigod hesitated but for a moment, and then was once more howling as she chased after Li Yuan and the others.


    ¡­¡±Big brother, this Demigod is weaker than we expected,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°He should only be level 40 and seems he hasn¡¯t crossed the Threshold of the Law with his comprehension.¡±


    ¡°If he had crossed into the Threshold of the Law, fusing Demigod Origin Power with the Mysteries of the Law¡­ that strike just now would have left us dead or severely injured,¡± Liu Bing said, ¡°But his ranged attacks, while stronger than our combined effort, are only slightly more powerful.¡±


    ¡°They are not strong enough.¡± Li Yuan responded, also breathing a sigh of relief.


    This member of the Alien Race who was a Demigod wasn¡¯t so terrifying and amongst the Demigods should be considered weak.


    But Li Yuan understood.


    Even weak, that was still the level of a Demigod.


    Unless using some special Star Technique, remote attacks by a super-powerful being are generally the weakest method¡­ after all, long-range Origin Power attacks don¡¯t contain the explosive power of Star Techniques nor the strength of the physical body.


    And Li Yuan knew.


    Like just now, they were able to withstand mostly due to Liu Bing¡­ She had crossed into the Threshold of the Wind Law, and the might of her Claw Technique was far greater than his own integrated Spear Technique.


    The innate potential and growth rate of a top-tier Divine Beast from the Divine Realm are extremely terrifying.


    Daring to venture into the Star Realm, they had a certain assurance they could escape unscathed even when faced with a Demigod¡­ Liu Bing was one of Li Yuan¡¯s sources of confidence.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod pursued Li Yuan with all his might, attempting long-range attacks to kill him time and again.


    But they were all blocked by Li Yuan and Liu Bing joining forces.


    Both sides were chasing and fleeing at their fastest speeds, until finally, the Ruins Flame Demigod closed in completely.


    Now only less than a kilometer separated them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, no matter how much you struggle, you will still die,¡± the Ruins Flame Demigod fixated on Li Yuan atop the Flying Serpent. ¡°It¡¯s true that you are a terrifying Second Rank Life, and so is the Flying Serpent beneath your feet¡­ but no matter how strong you both are, once I engage in close combat, you¡¯re both dead.¡±


    Boom!


    The Ruins Flame Demigod suddenly raised his hoof, a fearsome flame power condensing, and he was about to stomp down viciously.


    This hoof would definitely be the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s strongest attack method.


    ¡°I¡¯m the one who should die?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who should die!!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice-cold as a black crystal stone suddenly materialized in the palm of his hand.


    It was the very life-saving object that Gu You gave to Li Yuan years ago, said to be capable of killing any strong being below the Demigod level.


    With a pop, Li Yuan directly crushed it.


    Suddenly, countless powers like mist instantly converged into Li Yuan¡¯s palm, immediately condensing into a terrifying black saber, emanating a destructive aura.


    However, it was only the blade, incredibly sharp.


    Whoosh!


    The black saber instantly met the falling hoof and slashed out fiercely.


    ¡°What is this?¡± The Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    Destruction!


    This seemingly inconspicuous black combat saber gave him a feeling of heaven and earth being destroyed, as if he would be completely annihilated by this single slash¡­ It was definitely a terrifying strike.


    ¡°Secret treasure!¡±


    ¡°This is the Law Treasure that even True Gods can create,¡± the Ruins Flame Demigod realized, with some panic in his heart.


    Almost simultaneously.


    ¡°Hum~¡± An invisible soul power instantly invaded the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s mind, enveloping his soul.


    The Soul Secret Technique¡ª¡±Mind Soul¡±!


    Within a five-kilometer range of oneself, one could enact a Soul Secret Technique. However, Li Yuan had been holding back, waiting until now.


    To annihilate a Semi-Divine Level Soul? Absolutely impossible!


    Therefore, the suddenness of a soul attack was most crucial, and the first attempt was often the most effective.


    Without a sound.


    ¡°Me?¡± A flicker of bewilderment flashed in the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me? No good! It¡¯s a soul attack.¡±


    He realized he was under attack, tried to struggle, hoping to regain consciousness.


    But he couldn¡¯t succeed right away.


    ¡°This Demigod¡¯s will is so weak? I¡¯m afraid he hasn¡¯t reached the Semi-Divine level yet.¡± Li Yuan was also surprised, not expecting the Soul Secret Technique to be so effective.


    Logically, soul attacks among the same level of beings should be weak.


    Whoosh!


    The black saber had already struck the giant hoof that was falling.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    A terrible collision ensued, with the might contained in the black saber instantly sending the Ruins Flame Demigod, whose consciousness hadn¡¯t fully returned, flying backward.


    Blood streamed from the hoof.


    This strike caused the Ruins Flame Demigod to be injured.


    The black saber itself burst apart, and then it condensed again¡­ As a Secret Treasure, as long as the power contained within it wasn¡¯t exhausted, it wouldn¡¯t disappear completely.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The black saber whistled again, once more sending the Ruins Flame Demigod flying backwards.


    This time, it struck the Ruins Flame Demigod¡¯s head. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This strike actually created an almost three-meter-long terrifying wound on his head, deep enough to see bone.


    Only then did the power within the black saber finally exhaust itself.


    Three seconds later.


    The Ruins Flame Demigod fully regained consciousness, letting out an enraged roar: ¡°Damn it! The damned bastard!¡±


    He had never suffered such a loss in all the years since he was a child.


    However, the Ruins Flame Demigod also felt recurring fear¡­ That strange soul attack, combined with that Law Treasure, had almost directly slain him.


    ¡°Was I actually at the risk of death?¡±


    ¡°Do I really need to risk everything?¡± murmured the Ruins Flame Demigod to himself. Although he wanted to repay his father¡¯s kindness,


    the premise was that his own safety was ensured.


    Swoosh! By this time, Li Yuan and Liu Bing had widened their distance to over thirty kilometers once again.


    Boom!


    The Ruins Flame Demigod hesitated only for a moment before continuing the pursuit, but after this encounter, he was unable to catch up again.

    Chapter 628: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain


    In the Flame Surge Star Realm, the Myriad Demons Civilization held absolute dominance, well aware of the many powers of Seven Star Civilization within the Star Realm.


    Such as a Fourth Rank Battleship that could monitor areas thousands of kilometers away, including the combat scene between Li Yuan and the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    In fact, the Myriad Demons Civilization could likewise track the movement of this Fourth Rank Battleship.


    Not to mention the Ruins Flame Semi-Divine himself had remarkable vision, seeing thousands of kilometers away was usual for him.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The Ruins Flame Semi-Divine directly charged toward that War Fortress¡­ In the past, without his father¡¯s command, he¡¯d been too lazy to deal with the clash between the two major civilizations within the Star Realm.


    After all, the most precious resources of the entire Star Realm were already in his hands.


    Now, he was filled with fury.


    Chasing down a Second Rank Life, only to let the target escape, was undoubtedly a huge disgrace. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan and Liu Bing burst out of the Star Realm Passage and were already back on Blue Star.


    The familiar scent of home hit them, bringing waves of comfort to Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    ¡°We¡¯re back, it¡¯s safe now,¡± Li Yuan thought with relief.


    Facing a chase from a Demigod was utterly terrifying.


    Even the weakest attack from Origin Power could have killed him in the rampant assault if he were alone.


    It was only with Liu Bing¡¯s interference, and their combined efforts, that they barely managed to endure.


    However, in reality, repeatedly blocking had inflicted significant damage on both Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s bodies, necessitating time for recovery.


    ¡°Spirit Gun.¡±


    ¡°The Spirit Gun is back.¡±


    ¡°To think he could survive a Demigod¡¯s clutches,¡± outside the Star Realm Passage was a spacious hall of the War Fortress, where dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors had gathered, staring in shock at the emerging Li Yuan and Liu Bing.


    Just a few minutes ago, many Flying Heaven Warriors weren¡¯t in the War Fortress; they had all rushed over upon receiving the news.


    The Flying Heaven Warriors were familiar with the Spirit Gun.


    The news had spread these past few days.


    But today, they were still astonished by the power Spirit Gun demonstrated, after all, sweeping across numerous Second Level Star Realms and escaping the hands of a Demigod¡­ these were two different concepts.


    ¡°That Flying Serpent.¡±


    ¡°It is indeed Second Rank.¡±


    ¡°But its flying speed surpasses 20 times the speed of sound, looking at its power, it seems not inferior to Spirit Gun,¡± many Flying Heaven Warriors couldn¡¯t help but look at Liu Bing.


    They were curious about Liu Bing.


    Where did such a powerful Flying Serpent emerge from? It was unheard of in the past.


    Li Yuan felt the curious gazes of many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Liu Bing, enter the Heavenly Snake Hall first,¡± Li Yuan transmitted spiritually, ¡°Without my command, do not come out.¡±


    ¡°Okay, big brother,¡± Liu Bing nodded, her thoughts shifting, and her body instantly disappeared inside the hall.


    ¡°Disappeared?¡±


    ¡°Where did she go?¡± These Flying Heaven Warriors were astonished, most unaware of the existence of a Cave Heaven Treasure.


    Suddenly.


    Boom!


    A powerful aura abruptly emerged, prompting Li Yuan and many Flying Heaven Warriors to involuntarily look up, only to see an elderly man in white casual attire slowly descending from the sky.


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Semi-Divine,¡± over twenty Flying Heaven Warriors present bowed respectfully, most of them were white and a few were black.


    But they all recognized this ancient Demigod from Xia Country.


    ¡°Gentlemen, continue guarding the War Fortress.¡±


    ¡°An Alien Race Semi-Divine is wreaking havoc,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine scanned the surroundings, ¡°Think of a way to carry out rescues, save whoever you can.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the two leading Flying Heaven Peak Experts replied respectfully.


    ¡°Spirit Gun, come with me,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Li Yuan, one after the other, flew along the passage toward the exterior of the War Fortress.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense was communicating with Gu You.


    ¡°Sister, you can¡¯t make a move within the Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°The operation of heaven and earth has its rules, just as a Heavenly Divine cannot descend into the Mortal Domain,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°God Level power, likewise, cannot intervene within the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°A normal Star Realm can only handle up to Fourth Level.¡±


    ¡°The weaker the Star Realm, the stronger it resists external forces under the operation of its origin¡­ when you were in danger, I tried secretly, but even Semi-Divine Level power was hard to utilize,¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°There¡¯s an invisible force of heavenly and earthly rules suppressing me.¡±


    Li Yuan came to an understanding.


    When he was being chased by the Alien Race Semi-Divine, he had secretly messaged Gu You, but she couldn¡¯t directly come to the rescue in time.


    ¡°Just like when I was trapped in the Fierce Feather Star Realm, do you think I didn¡¯t want to escape on my own?¡± Gu You shook her head and said, ¡°No way, the origin of the Star Realm bound me¡­ it was only after recognizing you as the master, and since there were no real creatures left in the Ancient Divine Palace, that you could carry it away.¡±


    ¡°But just now, if you had died, the power of the Ancient Divine Palace would have been suppressed by the invisible rules again, unable to break free.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    When he was being chased, Gu You¡¯s advice was to hide in the Ancient Divine Palace and stall for time.


    Normally, a Demigod couldn¡¯t shake the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ but accidents could happen.


    Therefore, unless it was a last resort, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t hide.


    ¡°Fortunately, you escaped,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°This crisis is also a warning for you, never underestimate any opponent.¡±


    ¡°I was also trusting the judgment of the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°After all, sweeping over forty Star Realms before, nothing unexpected had happened.¡±


    ¡°Not even a Heavenly Divine can be without oversight, let alone a Dongfang Ji?¡± Gu You said, ¡°Remember this, all strong beings die from overconfidence.¡±


    ¡°When you consider yourself invincible, you¡¯re often not far from failure,¡± Gu You added.

 Chapter 629: 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_2

    Chapter 629: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_2


    Mighty ones die from overconfidence? Li Yuan pondered that saying in his heart.


    ¡°Quickly become stronger.¡±


    ¡°Without attaining the Flying Heaven Level, don¡¯t take any more risks. The enemies you¡¯re about to face present too great a threat to you.¡±


    ¡°Wait until you reach the Flying Heaven Level, when you¡¯re stronger, then you can face most of the storms in the Mortal Domain without fear.¡± Gu You said, ¡°By that time, if you pass through the third trial left by your father, I shall also be able to take out other Secret Treasures according to the rules he left behind.¡±


    ¡°Secret Treasures? Like that Black Crystal Stone?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Roughly, but the higher the level of the trial, the stronger the might of the Secret Treasures.¡±


    ¡°Even Semi-Divine Peak Experts can be killed.¡± Gu You said, ¡°Such Secret Treasures are generally only crafted by True Gods, so they¡¯re very rare in your Mortal Domain¡­ but the more powerful the Secret Treasure, the more demanding it is for the user; with your current level of strength, you¡¯re unable to wield their true might.¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for our father to craft those Secret Treasures either. Therefore, unless you meet the requirements, it¡¯s impossible to bestow them to you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Just like a child operating some machinery, if they lack the strength, they might end up injuring themselves.


    Moreover, while Gu You held considerable autonomy, he also trusted himself.


    But, ultimately, he must adhere to the basic commands of the Ancient Torch Divine.


    Without Ascending to Godhood, without passing through the fifth trial, it was impossible to perfectly control the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level?¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°I hope this third Spiritual Guidance doesn¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall,


    ¡°Brother, the situation just now wasn¡¯t as urgent as you thought.¡± Liu Bing said with a smile, looking at Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense incarnation, ¡°In fact, when you deployed that Secret Treasure earlier, I calculated I could escape safely, hence I didn¡¯t use mine.¡±


    ¡°You have a similar Secret Treasure?¡± Li Yuan was first startled, then shook his head and chuckled, ¡°Right, Elder Qiu must¡¯ve left some behind.¡±


    When it comes to strength and wealth,


    Elder Qiu Bingzun is even stronger than the Ancient Torch Divine¡­ When it comes to treasure accumulation, Liu Bing would only have more than him.


    ¡°It¡¯s just that, I currently only have two such Secret Treasures.¡±


    ¡°Before I become a True God, Elder Qiu won¡¯t give me more treasures,¡± Liu Bing said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Each of these two great Secret Treasures, once deployed, has boundless might. Just using them to kill the weakest Semi-Divine would be too wasteful.¡±


    Liu Bing shook her head and said, ¡°These are for preserving life¡­ Even if killing this Semi-Divine, it wouldn¡¯t help us much, so I didn¡¯t use them.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Each person¡¯s perspective is different.


    For Liu Bing, even if the Seven Star Civilization were destroyed, as long as the two of them were safe, she probably wouldn¡¯t care¡­ She would only use the Secret Treasures if it threatened her or her own life.

    Therefore, Liu Bing not revealing her trump card while being pursued by that Alien Race Semi-Divine was quite normal.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± a deep voice sounded, and whoosh~ beams of light converged to form the Phantom of Qiu Bingzun.


    ¡°Elder,¡± Li Yuan greeted.


    ¡°This battle, you truly exposed Liu Bing¡¯s existence,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°I¡¯ve already had Liu Bing undergo a certain disguise; they won¡¯t recognize her as the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, but her strength can¡¯t be hidden.¡±


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan, with an implicit meaning.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart grew tense, ¡°You can count on me, Elder.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, Gu You, and Liu Bing, their exchange was extremely rapid.


    When their conversation ended, Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine returned to the Fourth Rank Battleship in the void.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡±


    ¡°Elder Lant,¡±


    ¡°San Ye Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan immediately saw the three Phantoms inside the battleship and consecutively greeted them.


    ¡°Here you are,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine revealed a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad you¡¯re back safely,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this was my oversight,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s avatar looked at Li Yuan and sighed, ¡°I landed you in a huge crisis; had your strength not been sufficient, I fear it would¡¯ve weighed on my conscience for life.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, this is not your fault,¡± Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly, ¡°For one, sweeping the Second Level Star Realm was my own idea¡­ And secondly, this Alien Race Semi-Divine never leaked any secrets, who could have anticipated it?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, I didn¡¯t see it coming. Even with the high status of Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s hidden forces, we didn¡¯t know in advance about this,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°Looks like, it must be a scheme planned by a Deity of Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Only, I wonder, which one of the three Deities acted,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Three Deities?¡± Li Yuan, San Ye Semi-Divine, and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were all taken aback.


    From what they could access in the civilization database, Myriad Demons Civilization had always been led by two Deities ¡ª East Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity.


    When did the third one appear?


    ¡°Could it be Qiong Jin Deity?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said in shock, ¡°Wasn¡¯t he said to have perished long ago?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him, he didn¡¯t die,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°Qiong Jin Deity?¡± Li Yuan became even more puzzled.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Myriad Demons Civilization has a history stretching over more than a hundred thousand years. Over such a long span of time, it has birthed one True God, whose legacy is the greatest foundation of Myriad Demons Civilization. And the Pseudo-Gods that Myriad Demons Civilization has produced are numerous, amounting to dozens,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine explained, ¡°Pseudo-Gods live five thousand years; most Pseudo-Gods have already perished¡­ East Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity are both quite young, neither having lived past two thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue Deity became a Pseudo-God just a few hundred years ago.¡±


    ¡°While Qiong Jin Deity is somewhat older, tallying his age, it should exceed four thousand years¡­ The Mortal Domain¡¯s Starry Sky also has numerous opportunities and treasures worth challenging by Deities¡­ After the emergence of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, even more Deities from the Dimensional Domain attempted their luck, and Deities also fight over treasures and hold grudges against one another.¡±


    ¡°In short, very few Deities live peacefully until the end of their life span,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod in understanding.

 Chapter 630: 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_3

    Chapter 630: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_3


    Like his master, the ¡°Lie Feng Semi Divine,¡± he was nearing the end of his lifespan and made one last attempt in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.


    Other powerhouses were likely to do the same.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe the Qiong Jin Deity is still alive,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a sigh.


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Such a powerful civilization indeed had profound foundations, with a continuous line of divine beings.


    It was indeed difficult to annihilate such a civilization.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan, you no longer need to take risks. The campaign to sweep through the Second Level Star Realm stops here,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Escaping once was lucky. Your secret techniques have been exposed¡­ Moreover, according to your message, that Alien Race Semi-Divine has recognized you as Li Yuan. The news will likely spread quickly.¡±


    ¡°Next time, the Foreign Civilization¡¯s plot against you will only be more terrifying,¡± Dongfang Ji added.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan readily agreed.


    ¡°You have already made great contributions,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at San Ye Semi-Divine, ¡°San Ye, have you calculated Li Yuan¡¯s contributions?¡±


    ¡°I have made a preliminary calculation,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Li Yuan took action against forty-four star realms.¡±


    ¡°After calculating.¡±


    ¡°A total of 2.7 million Seven Stars Points can be obtained,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said, ¡°This is a conservative estimate. If more treasures are discovered in many star realms, higher rewards will be given.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you satisfied?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    2.7 million Seven Stars Points was no small amount.


    Like the last war in the Ming Xu Star Realm, the reason for earning 3 million Seven Stars Points was because of the Heavenly Serpent Clan¡¯s Civilization Mothership¡­ Just the several Divine Being Inheritances alone were actually worth far more than 3 million Seven Stars Points.


    In fact, conquering these star realms brought a vast amount of resources, most of which were ordinary and utterly useless to Semi-Divines.


    Only the entire civilization could dig out and utilize these resources, maximizing the star realms¡¯ value¡­ If it were just up to Li Yuan alone, most resources would be useless.


    ¡°Last time, to cultivate a Semi-Divine Level Soul, I consumed most of the 3 million points,¡± Li Yuan received the notification for the 2.7 million Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Now, with an additional 2.7 million Seven Stars Points, my Seven Stars Points directly returned to 3.5 million.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan, Lant, later you two will take turns handing over and ensure Li Yuan¡¯s safe return to the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji instructed, ¡°Now, I want to speak with Li Yuan alone.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Several Semi-Divines nodded, and Bai Shan Semi-Divine stepped out of the main hall.


    Lant Semi-Divine and San Ye Semi-Divine dispersed into their ethereal forms.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan looked at Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°You managed to escape from a Semi-Divine¡¯s grasp, and that Heaven Snake is greatly credited for that,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Is that your Spirit Beast? It seems nearly as strong as you, and its flying speed is terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch sees clearly,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    Just now, he wondered why the Alliance Hierarch didn¡¯t inquire about Xiao Bing¡¯s situation, realizing now he was waiting here for it.


    ¡°Had I not been sure you weren¡¯t soul-controlled, I¡¯d have worried you¡¯d become that Heaven Snake¡¯s puppet,¡± Dongfang Ji reminisced, ¡°The Heaven Snake, possessing a strong bloodline, is destined to Ascend to God¡­ And from that Heaven Snake¡¯s aura, it seems to have been recognized by the Plane¡¯s origin, probably related to you.¡±


    Li Yuan was startled, the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s methods were indeed unfathomable, and his sensing ability was so strong?


    ¡°Anyway, this Spirit Beast, if well-used, is a great aid,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°But if not, it can easily become a calamity. You must handle it well, I won¡¯t interfere too much.¡±


    ¡°Within our civilization, perhaps other Semi-Divines might be curious, but with me here, no one will act rashly, you can rest assured of that.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan gratefully said, realizing now he didn¡¯t need to bring out the prepared speech.


    A man without guilt bears the sin of holding jade.


    Himself a Prime Warrior, even though gifted with such a formidable Spirit Beast¡­ While he did not fear the coveting of the Semi-Divines, it would always be somewhat troublesome.


    Moreover, even if not afraid of the other Semi-Divines, what if Dongfang Ji harbored desires for his treasures?


    Towards the Alliance Hierarch, Li Yuan was indeed grateful and admiring.


    Although the other party had never directly and specifically guided his cultivation, the many arrangements behind the scenes¡­ protected his growth along the way.


    ¡°Another matter.¡±


    ¡°Your true identity is now completely exposed,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°The Demon Civilization will definitely not cover for you¡­ They might even push you into the limelight, you should prepare yourself.¡±


    ¡°Into the limelight?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    ¡°Our Mortal Domain, is not as simple as you think,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°The Demon Civilization is our foremost enemy¡­ But other powerful civilizations might not secretly wish for our destruction.¡±


    ¡°They just never had the chance.¡±


    ¡°Other than the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there are several civilizations in our Mortal Domain nearly as strong as the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    ¡°This time, your deeds might even be more shocking than Fang Hai¡¯s.¡±


    Li Yuan remembered what the Alliance Hierarch had once mentioned.


    The Seven Star Civilization held the best passage to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ Being coveted was very normal.


    ¡°Previously, I always had Fang Hai stay hidden until he had the strength to slay a Semi-Divine, then he burst forth, this was to keep his skills hidden, not just to avoid the Demon Civilization, but also to avoid other powerful civilizations,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°But you failed to keep hidden, exposing your true identity.¡±


    ¡°So, until you have the strength to rival a Semi-Divine, you must stay in the Martial Divine Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°When you can rival a Semi-Divine, you can be ranked among the highest tier of our Seven Star Civilization, and you can return to Blue Star.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with intense resolve.


    Strength to rival a Semi-Divine?


    That would come soon.


    ¡­


    Soon, under the protection of Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Li Yuan quickly headed toward the Third Star Realm.

 Chapter 631: 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_4

    Chapter 631: Chapter 349: Points Reward! Fame Spreads Across the Dimensional Domain_4


    Passing through the Third Star Realm would reach Feixing.


    And at the other end of Feixing, Lant Semi-Divine was already waiting, all to ensure the full protection of Li Yuan.


    Until he safely arrived at Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Wan Mo Star.


    ¡°We failed.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Qiong Jin, that Ruins Flame Semi-Divine didn¡¯t fight with all his might.¡± East Demon Deity roared angrily, ¡°If he had burned his Divine Elixir and fought with all his strength, there was definitely a hope to kill Li Yuan and his Spirit Beast.¡±


    ¡°East Demon, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?¡± Qiong Jin Deity said with dissatisfaction, ¡°Burning the Divine Elixir means burning the foundation of one¡¯s Ascend to God. How many semi-divines are willing to do that? Ruins Flame just made a move, not a fight to the death.¡±


    ¡°If you want him to risk his life, you haven¡¯t given enough.¡± Qiong Jin Deity shook his head.


    Bei Yue Deity furrowed his brows slightly.


    ¡°The bastard!¡±


    ¡°Qiong Jin.¡± East Demon Deity was completely furious, ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know, most of the treasures I offered ended up in your hands¡­ Since the operation failed, you should return all these treasures to me.¡±


    ¡°Where¡¯s your proof?¡± Qiong Jin Deity scoffed, ¡°You want the treasures, go ask Ruins Flame Semi-Divine yourself, I gave him everything.¡±


    ¡°In addition.¡±


    ¡°Let me remind you!¡±


    ¡°I might not be your match on Wan Mo Star, but once we leave Wan Mo Star, it¡¯s still up for debate who is the strongest in Myriad Demons Civilization.¡± Qiong Jin Deity snorted coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to fight with you, but that does not mean I¡¯m truly afraid of you.¡±


    Boom!


    Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s phantom dissipated with a roar.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± The East Demon Deity was seething with frustration.


    This time, not only did he fail to solve the problem, but he also paid a hefty price in treasures.


    ¡°East Demon.¡±


    ¡°At least we have ascertained the true identity of Spirit Gun.¡± Bei Yue Deity said softly, ¡°And we know of one of his major trump cards. That Flying Serpent is at least as strong as Spirit Gun, if not stronger, and equally a threat.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun Li Yuan.¡± The thought of this made East Demon Deity¡¯s head throb, ¡°And there¡¯s an even stronger Second Rank Flying Serpent. How the hell did he train them?¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue, what are your thoughts?¡± East Demon Deity looked towards Bei Yue Deity.


    Bei Yue Deity, being the youngest and once receiving advice from East Demon Deity many times before becoming a God.


    Because of this, the relationship between the two deities was very good, and Bei Yue Deity had always stood firmly with East Demon Deity, allowing the civilization of Eastern Demons to secure its position.


    In the heart of East Demon Deity, when he ascended to True God in the Divine Realm, he definitely intended to pass on the Myriad Demons Civilization to Bei Yue Deity.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard for us alone to deal with Li Yuan.¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°How about, we first send the news to Immortal Ruins Civilization, Crimson Sun Civilization, Myriad Dawn Civilization?¡±


    The three civilizations mentioned by Bei Yue Deity were the strongest in the entire Mortal Domain, standing at the peak through the long ages, the three God Level Civilizations.


    The power of any one of these civilizations far exceeded that of Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Will it be useful?¡± East Demon Deity frowned, ¡°These three civilizations are strong, but it¡¯s not easy for them to make a move.¡±


    ¡°It might be useful or useless.¡±


    ¡°But if they are willing to act, at least, they have a much greater chance of tempting the Semi-Divine of Seven Stars Civilization than us,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°And it doesn¡¯t really harm us. None of these civilizations would wish for a True God to emerge from Seven Stars Civilization.¡±


    ¡­


    The ¡®Spirit Gun¡¯ of Seven Stars Civilization, merely 25 years old, turned out to be another super genius of Seven Stars Civilization¡ª¡¯Li Yuan.¡¯


    This news, like a hurricane, rapidly spread among the semi-divines and Flying Heaven Warriors of Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Spirit Gun is Li Yuan? He¡¯s only 25 years old?¡±


    ¡°25 years old, with a Semi-Divine Level comprehension? A Semi-Divine Level Soul? Impossible! I don¡¯t believe it.¡±


    ¡°This can¡¯t be true, absolutely impossible!¡± The first reaction of countless strong beings in Myriad Demons Civilization was that the news was fake.


    ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In Flame Surge Star Realm, a Semi-Divine took action against him, caught a glimpse of Spirit Gun¡¯s true identity, but ultimately failed.¡±


    ¡°Spirit Gun is Li Yuan, and Li Yuan managed to escape from a Semi-Divine, also because he has a heaven-defyingly powerful Spirit Beast.¡±


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what kind of Spirit Beast it is.¡±


    ¡°A monster, indeed.¡±


    ¡°Has the Mortal Domain ever seen such a monstrously talented Prime Warrior? Why is he so strong?¡±


    ¡°I reckon, he has cultivated into the legendary Seven Star Veins,¡± speculated many in Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan is Spirit Gun.


    Li Yuan escaped from a Demigod.


    Li Yuan has an extremely powerful Spirit Beast.


    Li Yuan is suspected to have cultivated Seven Star Veins, or even Eight Star Veins¡­ One startling piece of news after another, driven by the higher echelons of Myriad Demons Civilization and with the help of other civilizations¡¯ intelligence networks within the Myriad Demons Civilization, swiftly spread out.


    It couldn¡¯t be helped.


    Spirit Gun was already famous, and after sweeping through the battles of the Second-Level Star Realm, he attracted even more attention, but everyone assumed he was 50 years old¡­ Now it exploded that he was only 25 years old!


    Madness!


    Many strong beings from various Foreign Civilizations, upon learning of this news, were amazed and sighed in admiration.

    Chapter 632: Chapter 350: Chi Yan True God! Finally Achieved Eight Star Veins (Additional Update)


    In the vast Mortal Domain, there are over ten thousand Dimensional Planes.


    Many ordinary civilizations, limited by their information networks, might not yet be aware of Li Yuan¡¯s affairs.


    However, some of the top-tier powerful civilizations have incredibly vast information networks that span the entire Dimensional Domain¡­It could even be said that many ordinary civilizations are branches of those top-tier civilizations.


    The civilizations within the entire Dimensional Domain are subtly divided into several levels.


    At the very top are the Immortal Ruins Civilization, Crimson Sun Civilization, and Myriad Dawn Civilization¡ªthese three major civilizations have vast territories, with hundreds of Life Planets and countless beings; each generation sees the birth of many divinities.


    Historically, numerous True Gods were also born¡ªthese are first-rate civilizations.


    ...


    Of course, whether there are True Gods in the current era remains a mystery! This is the biggest secret of the top-tier civilizations, not easily known to other forces.


    Second-rate civilizations, such as the Myriad Demons Civilization, have historically given birth to True Gods, and each generation has divinities to protect them; there are dozens of such civilizations throughout the Dimensional Domain.


    Third-rate civilizations are those with lots of Demigods and occasionally give rise to divinities; there are many such civilizations.


    However, civilizations that have never produced divinities are considered subpar and are the mainstream throughout the Dimensional Domain.


    Take the Seven Star Civilization, for instance, theoretically considered subpar, yet in terms of overall strength, it matches or even surpasses most third-rate civilizations, marking it as somewhat special; the rise of a normal civilization would not be so rapid.


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, Nine Clouds Sect.


    This is one of the most powerful sects in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, having produced more than one True God.


    The headquarters of the entire sect is located on an entire planet, on which there is a majestic mountain range.


    Above the mountain range, there are layers upon layers of peculiar cloud vortexes, with a diameter exceeding a thousand kilometers.


    These layers of vortexes continuously extend into the starry sky.


    Within these cloud vortexes, one can vaguely see standing palaces and occasionally passing warships; this place is the highest holy land of the entire sect¡ªthe Nine Clouds Realm.


    Today, at the highest region of the layered cloud vortexes.


    ¡°Old Ancestor!¡±


    This area is vast and empty, with no people or buildings around, white clouds underfoot, and an endless starry sky above.


    A figure in a black robe, exuding a strong aura, stood between heaven and earth, respectfully saluting towards the void: ¡°I have important matters to report.¡±


    After a long while,


    Rustle¡ªSuddenly, in the endless starry sky, nine stars appeared out of nowhere, radiating light that shone down and eventually converge into a towering phantom.


    This phantom, dressed in splendid garments, with an unclear face, was faintly radiating a fiery glow, and its aura was robust and endless.


    ¡°Chi Yan Old Ancestor,¡± the black-robed figure respectfully said.


    If ordinary Demigods of the Nine Clouds Sect were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly be dumbfounded.


    Because the black-robed figure was the sect master of the Nine Clouds Sect.


    Also, the Speaker of the ¡®Civilization Conference¡¯ of the entire Immortal Ruins Civilization, a true divine being.


    His single word could decide the life and death of billions of beings from this civilization.


    And he was respectfully saluting someone?


    ¡°Yan Lin, why have you come to seek me out so soon again?¡± The fiery phantom looked down at the black-robed man: ¡°The last time you reported to me was several years ago; it was about Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°Old Ancestor is wise,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God respectfully said.


    ¡°Old Ancestor.¡±


    ¡°This time I report because within our Dimensional Domain, there has emerged a fearsome prodigy.¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God respectfully continued: ¡°I just received the news that in the Seven Star Civilization, a prodigy named ¡®Li Yuan¡¯ has risen. At only 25 years old, as a Prime Warrior, he effortlessly killed a Flying Heaven Peak Expert.¡± Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization again? At age 25?¡± The fiery phantom¡¯s voice carried a hint of surprise: ¡°Crossing a major realm, how did he achieve that? Was it with the help of a treasure?¡±


    ¡°It was his own strength,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God respectfully answered.


    ¡°By his own strength?¡± The fiery phantom was genuinely surprised: ¡°Is his comprehension of laws extremely high? Did he step into the Threshold of the Law?¡±


    As an existence surpassing a Pseudo-God, his perspective was extremely high.


    ¡°From the intelligence passed by the Myriad Demons Civilization, this Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique should be extremely strong; it likely merges with the laws, and its might should be at the True Intent Perfection level,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said: ¡°He must have cultivated a supreme Body Refinement Technique¡­¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God quickly recounted all the details about ¡®Li Yuan¡¯.


    ¡°So it seems.¡±


    ¡°He should be even more formidable than Fang Hai, whom you last reported about,¡± the fiery phantom slowly said: ¡°If he truly is of the Seven Star Veins, that indeed qualifies as a miracle¡­ Even in the distant Divine Realm, a Second Rank Seven Star Vein is already a supreme genius; most True Gods couldn¡¯t achieve this when they were young.¡±


    ¡°He has the potential to become a True God.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God listened intently.


    Talent comprises many aspects: Law Talent, Mind Talent, Star Vein Talent¡­ To become a super genius, no aspect can be lacking.


    Of course, when a Cultivator is exceptionally talented in one aspect, their other aspects are often not too weak.


    ¡°This Seven Star Civilization is indeed an anomaly.¡±


    ¡°First there was Dongfang Ji, then Fang Hai, and now Li Yuan¡­ Being close to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain indeed offers a great advantage, allowing them to obtain many opportunities and treasures,¡± the fiery phantom said: ¡°Unfortunately, during the ancient battle of the gods, although I killed many divinities, I ultimately never entered the Inner Domain to see.¡±


    ¡°But ultimately, Old Ancestor became a True God,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said: ¡°Back then, few of those gods who entered the Inner Domain came out alive.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was well aware.


    Over ten thousand years ago, the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain emerged.


    At that time, the ¡®Chi Yan Old Ancestor¡¯ in front of him was only a Pseudo-God yet greatly shone in that battle, and not long after, he achieved True God status.


    With ten thousand years passed, the capabilities Chi Yan Old Ancestor has reached are beyond his imagination.

    Chapter 633: Chapter 350: Chi Yan True God! Finally Achieved the Eight Star Veins (Additional Update)_2


    But without a doubt,


    The Chi Yan True God had become the greatest reliance of the Immortal Ruins Civilization and even the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect as a whole.


    ¡°As for Li Yuan, let¡¯s just keep an eye on him in secret for now,¡± the Chi Yan True God said slowly. ¡°Our realm doesn¡¯t border with the Immortal Ruins Civilization, so we¡¯ve got power with nowhere to apply it¡­ It¡¯s the Myriad Demons Civilization that has been constantly clashing with the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Go contact East Demon, if he needs some help, we might be able to lend a hand.¡± sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Does the ancestor mean to fight with the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°No, not fight.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Just to cause some trouble,¡± the Chi Yan True God looked down at him. ¡°Our ancestors, upon reaching the Divine Realm, mostly joined the Myriad Dao Divine Court¡­ Ten thousand years ago, the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain suddenly emerged, and not that many powerful divines descended¡­ Most forces in the Divine Realm didn¡¯t even have time to react.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was listening.


    The Myriad Dao Divine Court was a super force in the Divine Realm.


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, in its long years, gave birth to gods¡­ Many ultimately went to the Divine Realm, and over time, cultivated there, inevitably linking themselves back to the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization had long relayed many details about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain to the Myriad Dao Divine Court.


    ¡°Over tens of thousands of years, the ¡®spatial window phase¡¯ of our Mortal Domain is about to arrive again,¡± said the Chi Yan True God calmly.


    ¡°Another window phase?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God was startled.


    As a Pseudo-God, he naturally understood what a ¡®window phase¡¯ meant.


    However, with his level of strength, he couldn¡¯t calculate specifics.


    But as a native entity, the Chi Yan True God could do it, something foreign True Gods couldn¡¯t match.


    ¡°For a million years, our Immortal Ruins Civilization has been striving generation after generation to rule the entire Mortal Domain, but has never succeeded,¡± the Chi Yan True God said softly. ¡°The Crimson Sun Civilization and the Myriad Dawn Civilization are already major threats¡­ I do not wish for the Seven Star Civilization to become another.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said respectfully.


    ¡°However, if we are not absolutely certain, we should not take direct action ourselves, otherwise, if we cannot stop the rise of the Seven Star Civilization, they will become our deadly enemies in the future.¡±


    ¡°Just secretly assist the Myriad Demons Civilization to suppress them. Whether one of them loses in the conflict, it¡¯s beneficial for us either way, and our belief in the Myriad Demons Civilization is great,¡± said the Chi Yan True God. ¡°If we can kill Li Yuan, that would be best¡­ If we cannot¡­ when he becomes Semi-Divine, we should send a congratulatory gift.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God understood the ancestor¡¯s intention.


    Before becoming Semi-Divine, there was still hope of finding a way to kill him.


    Once Semi-Divine, with such an exceptional talent, his strength would certainly be nearly divine, and henceforth, contemplating his assassination would be nothing but a fool¡¯s dream.


    ¡­


    The Crimson Sun Civilization had rapidly risen to become a powerful civilization in the past hundred thousand years.


    In the boundless starry sky,


    Merely a few million miles from a blazing star, a majestic temple floated in the void.


    The temple appeared as though it were bathing in an eternal, undying divine light.


    ¡°Haha, interesting!¡±


    Seated on the throne, a figure garbed in a red robe, towering about a hundred meters tall appeared, looking down at the intelligence materializing in his hands: ¡°The small Seven Star Civilization, successively rising so many talents¡­ Maybe, in the future, it could really produce not just one True God.¡±


    In the entire Mortal Domain, if one True God were to emerge, then during the era of that True God¡¯s lifetime, it would be a top-tier power.


    What if there were multiple True Gods? Such a force would make the civilization¡¯s foundation staggeringly strong.


    Both the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Crimson Sun Civilization have had their glorious eras of multiple coexisting True Gods.


    ¡°Is it because of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, according to the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡± The towering red-robed figure mused: ¡°They want us to take action.¡±


    ¡°Too far.¡±


    ¡°We have not yet established Star Realm contact with the Seven Star Civilization¡­ The Immortal Ruins Civilization is closer and seems to have created a shared Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Let them fight like dogs.¡±


    ¡­


    In an extraordinarily short period of time, most of the upper echelons of the civilizations in the Dimensional Domain had come to know the facts.


    ¡°So it turns out, the slaughterer of our elites was Li Yuan.¡± Many of the civilizations that were attacked in the Second Level Star Realm came to their realization.


    Of course, relative to the number of civilizations in the Dimensional Domain¡­ only a minority were attacked by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Being slaughtered is normal.¡±


    ¡°If our civilization had also birthed such supreme talents, they would have swept through other Star Realms similarly.¡±


    ¡°Only the strong deserve resources.¡±


    ¡°Only 25 years old, I hear the Seven Star Civilization has a shortcut to enter the periphery of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, truly enviable.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, there truly is hope of becoming a True God.¡±


    ¡°In a million years, Li Yuan is probably the strongest Prime Warrior,¡± numerous deeds about Li Yuan were spreading swiftly.


    Even,


    Many civilizations¡¯ recorded ¡®histories of the Dimensional Domain¡¯ had already incorporated the name and feats of Li Yuan.


    In any case,


    With the push from the Wan Mo Civilization, Li Yuan¡¯s fame had completely surpassed that of Fang Hai, and in a way, even exceeded Dongfang Ji¡­ becoming the first impression that many distant civilizations had of the ¡®Seven Star Civilization.¡¯


    ¡­


    And at the same time, this explosive news was also rampant among the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization.


    A tide of shock.


    Many Semi-Divines and Flying Heaven Warriors from various planets were frantically discussing through the virtual network.


    ¡°Li Yuan is Spirit Gun?¡±


    ¡°It was Li Yuan!!¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t it said that Li Yuan¡¯s strength was only comparable to that of Yu Jinghe back in the day?¡±


    ¡°Nonsense!¡±


    Yu Jinghe made an appearance: ¡°I knew for a long time that Spirit Gun was Li Yuan, haha, I was dying to say it, Li Yuan¡¯s strength has long surpassed mine.¡±


    ¡°Previously, it must have been the civilization¡¯s high levels wanting to keep it a secret.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Haha!¡±


    ¡°Back then, our Alliance Hierarch graduated from Kunlun Martial University, you all said it was luck,¡± Dean Hai was in high spirits: ¡°Now, Li Yuan has also graduated from Kunlun Martial University, who dares to say it was just luck.¡±

    Chapter 634: Chapter 350: Chi Yan True God! Finally Achieved the Eight Star Veins (Additional Update)_3


    Dean Hai had long known that the Spirit Gun was Li Yuan, but he had never been able to say it.


    Today, he could finally talk about it.


    ¡­


    Although the news wasn¡¯t fully public, as most ordinary people still remained unaware, many prodigies of the Martial Divine Star Realm did have the privilege to know.


    Inside the only tavern in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°He¡¯s truly incredible.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The Spirit Gun, to think it¡¯s Li Yuan.¡± Dantai Feng sat in the main seat, still somewhat astounded as he said, ¡°Even when I asked my grandfather and got a definite answer, I couldn¡¯t completely be sure.¡±


    ¡°Haha, Old Dantai, don¡¯t say you weren¡¯t sure, we were all a bit dumbfounded when we found out,¡± laughed Jin Huguo who was sitting nearby. ¡°It¡¯s really a bit scary.¡±


    There were quite a few people who came to the gathering today, over ten, all invited by Dantai Feng.


    Most were friends from Blue Star, and the majority were from Xia Country.


    ¡°I heard before that his True Intent had broken through to the Sixth Stage Middle Rank, and I thought his cultivation progress was fast enough,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a sigh. ¡°But who could have thought, in just the blink of an eye, his comprehension of True Intent is now comparable to that of a Semi-Divine.¡±


    At that, everyone laughed, then they all became somewhat reflective.


    Semi-Divine Comprehension!


    That was at least Sixth Stage Perfection¡­ how many years had it taken Li Yuan to go from Sixth Stage Initial Rank to Sixth Stage Perfection? S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Five years? Six years?


    Just the thought made this group of talents from the Martial Divine Hall tremble.


    People like Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang had performed quite well among the new generation, but after all these years, they were only just beginning to condense their True Intent.


    ¡°Before, I thought Alicia had a chance to catch up with Li Yuan,¡± Jin Huguo said with a chuckle.


    The group turned their gaze towards Alicia.


    Alicia, with her rapid progress, had already formed her True Intent¡­ and her cultivation had never really hit a bottleneck.


    ¡°Don¡¯t compare yourself with him!¡± Alicia laughed. ¡°Think about it, isn¡¯t his rate of cultivation becoming more and more exaggerated?¡±


    Everyone nodded involuntarily.


    ¡°I feel¡­¡±


    ¡°By the time we become Flying Heaven Warriors, he will probably have already become Semi-Divine,¡± Dantai Feng sighed. ¡°It¡¯s understandable, he has been capable of becoming a Flying Heaven for a while and hasn¡¯t broken through, probably in pursuit of stronger Star Meridians.¡±


    ¡°But!¡±


    ¡°Even if Li Yuan becomes a god in the future,¡± Dantai Feng shifted his tone and chuckled. ¡°He¡¯ll still have to admit that he was publicly defeated by me back in the day.¡±


    ¡°Haha, participating in the ten-schools freshmen battle was the right choice. The merit of that championship is still getting higher.¡±


    They all laughed and jeered for a while.


    Amidst the sounds of admiration and reflection.


    ¡°Little Star, tell me, do I really have a chance in this life to catch up to him, Mom?¡± A voice rang out in Alicia¡¯s mind.


    ¡°This¡­¡± The childish voice hesitated. Not long ago, it was encouraging Alicia.


    But now?


    ¡°Alicia, I think we have a greater hope of becoming True Gods!¡±


    Alicia was silent for a while.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much, strive hard!¡±


    ¡°Alicia, after a while, once you reach the Sixth Stage Middle Rank, we will head to Ming Xu Star Realm to compete for a Divine Being Inheritance.¡±


    ¡­


    His identity revealed, the spread of the message stirred up a huge uproar.


    Numerous strong individuals within the Seven Star Civilization tried to send messages to Li Yuan; some were blessings, some sought help, some desired a meeting¡­ all sorts of messages.


    ¡°It¡¯s truly insane!¡±


    ¡°Thank goodness.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t disturb the family.¡± Li Yuan stayed in the Quiet Chamber of the Martial Divine Star Realm, looking at the message from Bai Shan Semi-Divine, who had expressly sent two Flying Heaven Warriors to stay permanently in the South Lake Starfire District.


    Additionally, there was protection from Flying Heaven-level personal robots.


    There would also be an upgrading and renovation of the entire residential villa¡­ Actually, according to Bai Shan Semi-Divine, his aunt and uncle should have left Jiang City and gone to live in Feixing or the Capital City of Xia Country.


    ¡°Now that your identity is revealed, the shock it has brought is too great; countless Alien Races want to track you and assassinate you, your relatives are facing huge risks¡­ In Jiang City, it is very difficult to get the best protection.¡± These were the original words of Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    But after communicating with his uncle, Li Yuan was met with Li Changzhou¡¯s refusal.


    In the end, Li Yuan gave up the idea of forcibly relocating his uncle and only asked Bai Shan Semi-Divine to provide secret protection.


    ¡°Layer upon layer of protection.¡±


    ¡°The risk to my aunt and uncle is very low,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    As for Li Muhua and Li Qianqian?


    They had both grown up, had their own lives and paths to follow, and Li Yuan didn¡¯t intend to intervene too much, just watch over them covertly.


    And Xu Ling? With Li Yuan¡¯s secret help over the years, had also become a Prime Warrior.


    There were few who knew of the special relationship between Xu Ling and Li Yuan.


    ¡°Family is safe.¡±


    ¡°Everything is ready.¡±


    ¡°Now, the high-ups of the Myriad Demons Civilization and many Alien Race warriors probably hate me like mad and are desperate to kill me at all costs,¡± Li Yuan said with a slight smile, the more his enemies hated him, the more it proved he was doing the right thing.


    Over these past few days.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart had become completely tranquil.


    ¡°Time to begin the third Spiritual Guidance.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and his strong mental consciousness instantly descended into the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Right down to the Second Level.


    ¡°¡­Such rich golden mist,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body observed the golden mist swirling through the second-level temple hall.


    It was incredibly dense.


    ¡°My level of Spiritual Awakening has reached 50%, 60%, 70%, and I couldn¡¯t use these injections of Origin Power previously due to reaching the limit of my physical quality,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°It seems like they should be accumulative.¡±


    ¡°Once I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, I¡¯ll be able to use them all at once. I wonder to what level I¡¯ll be able to reach,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Under normal circumstances, for Flying Heaven Warriors to cultivate from level 30 to level 35¡­


    Even with the right realm and plenty of treasures to assist, it would still take more than a decade.


    Not to mention reaching even higher levels like 36, 37, it would take even more time.

    Regarding the golden fog, Li Yuan observed it only briefly before his mental consciousness converged on the jade platform at the center of the hall.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    As before, the jade platform seemed to contain an invisible force of absorption, quickly drawing in Li Yuan¡¯s powerful mental consciousness.


    Shortly after.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± Li Yuan felt the scenery around him changing, and he found himself in the vast starry sky, where tens of thousands of stars twinkled, many of which converged to form several star tracks¡­ Life Starry Sky.


    ¡°Seven Star Veins.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Three Perfect Star Veins!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s current Soul Cultivation Level had far surpassed his past, allowing him to easily sense the seven star veins.


    Before the breakthrough, sensing six star veins always put a certain pressure on him.


    ¡°A Semi-Divine Level Soul brought about the third Spiritual Incorporation.¡±


    ¡°The fourth Spiritual Incorporation requires the Spiritual Awakening Level to reach 100%.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°It likely demands a Pseudo-God Level Soul, or even higher¡­ At Second Rank, it¡¯s probably unreachable.¡±


    ¡°This time, it¡¯s the greatest aid in achieving the Eight Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan had strived for many years.


    Especially to become a Semi-Divine Level Soul, amidst doubts and advice, Li Yuan persisted on his path¡­ yet at this moment, his heart felt even more tranquil.


    ¡°Hum~¡± Quickly triggered a strange change within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Gradually.


    Whoosh whoosh~ In the dim and vast Life Starry Sky, at some unknown moment, a purplish airflow started to drift, emitting a strange glow.


    ¡°Here it comes.¡± It was the third time Li Yuan sensed these mysterious purple streams.


    This time, he sensed them more clearly, yet he was still unable to peer into their true secrets.


    ¡°Hum~ Hum~¡±


    The purple airflow silently merged into Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body, perfectly integrating with his soul consciousness.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Li Yuan once again felt that odd shift in vision, and in a blink, he felt as if he could overlook the entire Life Starry Sky.


    He also sensed those strange stars.


    ¡°Perhaps, the sense is clearer than during the last Spiritual Guidance, could it be because my soul has metamorphosed?¡± Li Yuan realized, accurately sensing each Life Star among millions of stars.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Seek dust and micro, combine two into one¡­¡± The familiar sound of the Great Dao resonated once again.


    Whoosh~


    Whoosh~ Li Yuan¡¯s mind was serene, his strong mental consciousness instantly dispersed under the guidance of the sound of the Great Dao.


    Quickly integrating into each clearly sensed Life Star, imprinting his Spiritual Imprint.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    One!


    Ten!


    A thousand!


    Ten thousand¡­ Previously unawakened multitude of Life Stars, were rapidly lit up at this moment.


    Gradually.


    ¡°Hum~¡± With many Life Stars awakening and connecting with some already awakened Star Veins to form a whole, one star vein swiftly reached 129,600 Life Stars, creating a sense of perfection.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The entire star vein instantly vibrated, becoming dazzling, and along with the other three radiant star veins, they shone brilliantly¡­ The fourth Perfect Star Vein was completed and born.


    Then came the birth of the fifth Perfect Star Vein.


    The sixth star vein, the seventh star vein, were also continuously becoming stronger¡­ More Life Stars awaken.


    However.


    As time passed, the purple airflow became thinner¡­ the number of unstructured awakening Life Stars in the Life Starry Sky surpassed two hundred thousand¡­ but neither new perfect star veins nor new star veins were created.


    ¡°Continue!¡± Li Yuan remained calm, methodically awakening Life Stars.


    Finally, as everything was about to settle and Li Yuan believed he could no longer directly awaken the Eighth Star Vein.


    Hum~ Another Life Star awakened.


    At this moment.


    It was as if it was a final push.


    ¡°Boom!¡± In the Life Starry Sky, the previously tens of thousands of scattered, unstructured Life Stars, as if stimulated by something, suddenly began to operate¡­ the Eighth Star Vein was finally awakened.


    In an instant!


    ¡°Eight Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan felt the last trace of strange airflow power being exhausted.


    At that moment.


    Li Yuan realized, if it weren¡¯t for his great determination and perseverance to achieve a Semi-Divine Level Soul, even with three Spiritual Guidances, the Eight Star Veins would be difficult to achieve.


    Such is time, such is life!


    ¡°Eight Star Veins!¡± Li Yuan thought.


    The eight star veins vibrantly operated, faintly emerging on the surface of his body, interwoven with each other, and converging at the dantian in his abdomen, subtly having a sense of flawless perfection.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins, the pressure on the soul surpasses that of the Seven Star Veins by several times, it seems to have reached the limit.¡± Li Yuan sensed a guidance in the dark: ¡°With my strong soul, wanting to awaken another Life Star now seems very difficult.¡±


    It is a guidance under the operation of heaven and earth¡ªEight Star Veins, it is a limit of Second Rank Life.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare for Flying Heaven.¡±

 Chapter 636: 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan

    Chapter 636: Chapter 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan


    ¡°To resolve the many future calamities, especially those involving the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were very calm, ¡°Then, my future goal is to Ascend to Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°The path to becoming a Heavenly Divine is incredibly arduous.¡±


    ¡°Even with Second Rank Eight Star Veins, it¡¯s not guaranteed to Ascend to Heavenly God.¡± Li Yuan was clear on this point, ¡°However, reaching the limit in Star Veins always offers greater hope.¡±


    Having browsed through many scriptures left by Qiu Bingzun, especially about the Divine Realm¡¯s cultivation common knowledge.


    Li Yuan was well aware that future achievements are decided by various factors, with the core ones being Law Comprehension and Star Veins.


    For instance, to become Semi-Divine, one must at least possess Four-Star Veins, and a certain True Intent Comprehension must reach Sixth Stage Perfection.


    ...


    To become a Pseudo-God, at least Five-Star Veins are necessary, and one must achieve a higher level in comprehending a Law.


    ¡°Some powerful beings might have insufficient Star Veins, only having Six Star Pulse.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But with highly profound Law Comprehension, they can still ascend to True God¡­ but not to Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°But for some powerful beings, even with Eight Star Veins, if they hit a bottleneck in Law Comprehension, forget Ascending to Heavenly Divine, they can¡¯t even become True Gods.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Both are indispensable.


    Of course, the talents of Laws and Star Veins often complement each other¡­ just like Li Yuan himself, because his Star Veins were strong enough, he could cultivate two of the most powerful auxiliary Star Techniques.


    ¡°In terms of Law Talent, I might not even catch up to Liu Bing.¡± Li Yuan was very calm in his heart, ¡°And I can¡¯t compare with some monstrously talented beings mentioned in the scriptures of Qiu Bingzun.¡±


    ¡°However, through the long years.¡±


    ¡°One step at a time, striving to reach my limit in every realm, there is ultimately hope.¡± Li Yuan stood up, ¡°I do not know if I can ultimately succeed, but at the least, I have reached the pinnacle of a Prime Warrior.¡±


    A limit that could no longer be surpassed.


    From initially unable to awaken the Spiritual Guidance in middle school, lacking a better external environment¡­ to later awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, but Li Yuan still exerted all his efforts to cultivate¡­ until pursuing the Second Rank Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°I do not know if I can succeed.¡±


    ¡°I only seek to give my all, to live this life without regrets.¡± The moment Li Yuan felt the Transformation of the Eight Star Veins, his heart was calm.


    If he hadn¡¯t succeeded with three instances of Spiritual Guidance, then, he might have spent another ten or even twenty years, until he was fifty at last.


    ¡­Rumble~


    The door to the Quiet Chamber opened, and two streaks of light flew in, precisely the Ancient Divine Palace and Heavenly Snake Hall, these two Cave Heaven Treasures.


    The process of Spiritual Guidance was too inconceivable, so Li Yuan didn¡¯t let them pry.


    ¡°Let¡¯s tell Liu Bing and Gu You about this.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡­


    Within the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Liu Bing, I¡¯m ready to become Eight Star Veins.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense incarnation smiled.


    ¡°Big brother, are you ready to breakthrough?¡± Liu Bing was slightly puzzled, ¡°Aren¡¯t you pursuing the Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°What? After reaching Seven Star Veins, did you sense the difficulty of awakening the Life Star, felt the hardship of the Eight Star Veins? Gave up on becoming Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun also appeared.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t given up.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve just already succeeded, so naturally, it¡¯s time to breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m glad to hear that¡­ What? You¡¯ve already succeeded?¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan incredulously.


    But then he saw Li Yuan¡¯s expression, which didn¡¯t seem to be lying.


    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Qiu Bingzun stared at Li Yuan, ¡°Weren¡¯t you just at Seven Star Veins a short while ago?¡±


    ¡°Elder, Liu Bing.¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t directly answer the question, saying, ¡°I should breakthrough in another Cave Heaven¡­ I expect to be in closed-door cultivation for a while.¡±


    Once he becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Li would use three instances of Origin Power infusion in one go¡­ naturally, it would take some time.


    ¡°Alright, big brother, concentrate on your cultivation.¡± Liu Bing smiled, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it will take me a while to advance to Third Rank.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Stay in Second Rank for a longer time, consolidate your foundation, then hastily reaching Third Rank won¡¯t bring any benefits.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Shortly after.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense projection dissipated.


    ¡°Liu Bing, aren¡¯t you going to ask more? Did Li Yuan really become Eight Star Veins?¡± Qiu Bingzun frowned slightly, ¡°Has he been in seclusion this past period just awakening the Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Moving from Seven Star Veins to Eight Star Veins, how difficult is that, and he just broke through like this?¡± Qiu Bingzun still couldn¡¯t believe it.


    If Li Yuan had spent ten or twenty years and eventually awakened the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, he could accept it.


    But how long has it been?


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to ask.¡± Liu Bing shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s enough that big brother told me about the Eight Star Veins¡­ As for how he achieved the Eight Star Veins, whether it was some special opportunity or his innate talents, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Just like the many treasures the Ancestor left me, you also told me never to leak the news, not even to big brother¡­ Big brother only ever asks if I need help, never the reasons.¡± Liu Bing said.


    Qiu Bingzun paused for a moment, then showed a smile, ¡°I was overthinking.¡±


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°It seems.¡± Qiu Bingzun smiled slightly, ¡°Aside from that True God Heritage, your big brother, has some secrets we can hardly understand¡­ But that¡¯s a good thing.¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable.¡± Qiu Bingzun exclaimed, ¡°Perhaps, before he Ascends to God, he truly has a chance to challenge the highest level Star Vein legend in the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°The highest level Star Vein legend?¡± Liu Bing was puzzled.


    ¡°Ten-Star Veins!¡± Qiu Bingzun spelled out.


    ¡­


    ¡°About to become Eight Star Veins? Preparing to break through Flying Heaven?¡± Dongfang Ji, situated in a mysterious location in Feixing, suddenly received a message from Li Yuan.


    For other Demigods, Li Yuan might not inform them.


    But for the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan trusted him immensely; since he was about to break through, naturally, he had to tell the truth.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡± Dongfang Ji was stunned for a long time, his subconscious even doubted if Li Yuan was fooling him.

 Chapter 637: 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_2

    Chapter 637: Chapter 351: Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_2


    After all, it was too incredible.


    ¡°Given Li Yuan¡¯s character, he wouldn¡¯t speak without certainty. It has been like that since the battle of Mingxu Star Realm,¡± Dongfang Ji said in a low voice, ¡°Eight Star Veins, it must be true.¡±


    Thinking of this,


    A hint of anticipation rose in Dongfang Ji¡¯s heart, ¡°The legendary Second Rank Eight Star Veins, once one breaks through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, how miraculous could it be?¡±


    Even for someone as experienced as Dongfang Ji, he only partially understood this matter.


    However,


    ...


    Dongfang Ji couldn¡¯t return for the time being.


    ¡°Keep a close watch on Seven Star Mountain, pay attention to Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough,¡± Dongfang Ji directly issued the order.


    ¡°Yes, master,¡± a deep voice responded.


    Immediately,


    Dongfang Ji no longer dwelled on it, his gaze once again fell on the vast dark space below.


    Massive icy chains stretched out from the void, extending into the dark depths.


    In this dark space, it seemed that some terrifying creature was hidden.


    ¡°Dotoya, after so many years, are you still unwilling to submit?¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°If you are willing to submit, I will set you free, and even allow you to Light the Divine Fire and become a deity.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha ha!¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji, keep dreaming,¡± a thunderous roar erupted from the dark space, ¡°The great Tongling tribe will never submit, never! Even if you imprison me until death, I will not submit to you.¡±


    ¡°How stubborn,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head slightly, he raised his hand, and golden light began to emerge from his palm.


    Hiss~


    The golden light shot out, alive and nimble, directly entering the dark space, and faintly revealed the enormous creature hidden within.


    Before long,


    ¡°Ah! Ah! Ah~¡± Screams of agony burst out from the dark space, but even this torturous pain couldn¡¯t make the enormous creature beg or submit.


    ¡°Dotoya, my patience is limited.¡±


    ¡°Think about it again, if you still refuse to submit the next time I ask you, there will be no more chances,¡± Dongfang Ji said slowly, stepping forward, transforming into a streak of golden light, and disappeared into the distance.


    ¡­


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Ready to break through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan in front of her and the eight glimmers of Star Meridians showing on his body.


    Eight Star Veins?


    She was as shocked in her heart as Qiu Bingzun, if not more so.


    ¡°Go to the Divine Crystal Chamber,¡± Gu You said directly, ¡°The Divine Crystal Energy there is the richest and the environment the quietest and safest.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan had no objections.


    Watching Li Yuan walk into the Divine Crystal Chamber, the girl¡¯s eyes sparkled cryptically: ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡­


    The Divine Crystal Chamber was not very large, but it was absolutely quiet.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the center, striving to calm his inner heart, and gradually, his soul became undisturbed.


    Breakthrough!


    Especially such a major realm breakthrough, emotional fluctuations are most taboo.


    ¡°Sea of Origin Power, Condensed Origin Pill, become a Flying Heaven,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s powerful soul was now fully concentrated within his Sea of Origin Power.


    Vast space.


    The expansive Sea of Origin Power, called a sea, more resembled a large lake, those countless Origin Powers were pure beyond comparison¡­After cultivating to the powerful Body Refinement Realm, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power was already comparable to a Level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Buzz~ Li Yuan¡¯s Mental Consciousness stood vaguely above the Sea of Origin Power, perfectly controlling every bit of Origin Power.


    ¡°Origin Power like the sea, gathering like the tide,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and many key points about stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm surfaced in his mind.


    Rumble~ What was once a calm Sea of Origin Power, under the guidance of Li Yuan¡¯s powerful Mental Consciousness, suddenly stirred up, as if it had completely boiled, forming a massive Origin Power vortex in the center.


    This vortex¡¯s strength was as if it wanted to devour everything, crazily swallowing Origin Power from all directions.


    Continuously condensing!


    Continuously compressing! Making the Origin Power in the center of the vortex more refined and more powerful.


    This is the first step of breaking into the Flying Heaven ¡ª ¡°Origin Power like the tide!¡±


    ¡°Whirl~¡±


    The continuously concentrating Origin Power, almost compressed into physical form, seemed to be nurturing a massive star in the center¡­ Such strong power could not be controlled and guided by ordinary warriors.


    Powerful forces must be guided by the Power of Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°True Meaning of Earth!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s thought moved, instantly invoking the unseen waves of The Mystery of Earth between heaven and earth, those invisible Mysteries of Heaven and Earth began to wildly surge into the center of the Origin Power vortex.


    This changed the characteristics of the Origin Power vortex, allowing Li Yuan to control it more perfectly.


    Every Prime Warrior has an innate attribute to their Origin Power, this attribute can be changed once when becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, utilizing one¡¯s own comprehension of heaven and earth to transform¡­ but once the Origin Pill is condensed, it cannot be changed again.


    Although Li Yuan had an extremely high talent on both the Earth and Wind paths, he instinctively chose to use the True Meaning of Earth to condense his Origin Pill.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± What was once as extensive as a lake, the Origin Power had now been thoroughly compressed and gathered at the center, forming a huge spherical body, the surface of the sphere still slowly flowing¡­ resembling the embryonic form of a star.


    This is the second step into stepping into Flying Heaven ¡ª Origin Pill Embryo!


    ¡°My Origin Pill Embryo is at least ten times stronger than that of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°This also means that once I complete the breakthrough, I might be Level 31 or even higher.¡±


    This was due to cultivating the powerful Body Refinement Realm, fundamentally stronger. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was also because Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was extremely high.


    Unlike general Prime Warriors who break through to become Flying Heaven, most only have Fifth Stage Perfection comprehension, a few can condense True Intent¡­ Li Yuan, however, used Sixth Stage High-Rank comprehension to condense his Origin Pill, naturally different, saving much time in refining the Origin Pill.

 Chapter 638: 351 Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_3

    Chapter 638: Chapter 351 Flying Heaven Warrior Li Yuan_3


    However,


    the amount of energy in the embryonic form of the Origin Pill is not the most crucial¡­ after other martial artists become Flying Heaven Warriors, accumulating slowly, they can catch up.


    ¡°The third step, Star Meridian into the Pill,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was expectant, ¡°This is the most important.¡±


    With a thought,


    Boom!


    In Li Yuan¡¯s body, those Star Meridians that ran through every part of his body finally erupted completely at this moment, causing his body to tremble faintly.


    ...


    The Origin Power Space seemed to crack at this moment, and countless Phantom Stars cascaded down like waterfalls, forming dazzling streams of stars that merged directly onto the massive Origin Pill.


    Each stream of stars represented a Star Meridian.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡± A great number of Phantom Stars rapidly shrank to form specks of starlight and eventually merged with the Origin Pill, forming an ¡°Innate Star Meridian Mark¡± in its deepest part.


    Whoosh~ As the first Star Meridian Mark appeared, the Origin Pill gradually solidified, its emitted aura growing more majestic and powerful.


    Followed by the second, the third¡­ with each additional Star Meridian Mark, the aura of the Origin Pill grew stronger, and the golden light it emitted became more dazzling.


    ¡­just as nutrition is most important during a person¡¯s growth period, establishing a solid foundation allows steadier progress later on.


    Martial artists cultivate in the same way.


    The number of Innate Star Meridian Marks present at the initial formation of the Origin Pill largely determines the future potential.


    To become a Flying Heaven Warrior, one must have at least three Star Meridians, which is the weakest foundation for the Origin Pill. Without further awakening to four Star Meridians, even with high True Intent Comprehension, one cannot become a Demigod.


    With six Innate Star Meridians, even within the Divine Realm, the potential is considered decent. At the very least, there is hope of becoming a True God or even a Heavenly Divine.


    Seven Innate Star Meridians is a mark of top-notch talent.


    And Li Yuan, through years of effort and the aid of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, had reached a limit and manifested no less than eight Innate Star Meridian Marks.


    Like eight golden hoops encircling, this made the foundation of his Origin Pill unimaginably strong.


    ¡°The Origin Pill is finally complete,¡± joy filled Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    He had finally stepped into the realm of the Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Li Yuan could clearly feel the close connection between the Origin Pill and the eight Star Meridians, which were symbiotic.


    You see, martial artists in the Flying Heaven Realm and the Semi Divine Realm can theoretically awaken new Star Meridians¡­ Why place so much emphasis on the achievements at the time of becoming a Prime Warrior?


    It¡¯s because of the word ¡°Innate¡±!


    The Star Meridians awakened in the Flying Heaven Realm and the Semi Divine Realm are considered ¡°Acquired,¡± and the difference becomes more pronounced as one¡¯s cultivation progresses.


    ¡­


    Most martial artists entering the Flying Heaven Realm don¡¯t require a lot of Heaven and Earth Origin Power, as the majority only reach level 30 before slowly cultivating further.


    Even for Yu Jinghe and Fang Hai, when they became Flying Heaven Warriors with Six Star Meridians, there was no fundamental difference compared to those with Three or Four Star Meridians.


    But the higher one goes, the greater the difference.


    Eight Innate Star Meridian Marks, even if placed in the Divine Realm, are part of absolute legend; many Heavenly Divine might not encounter even one in their lifetimes.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Heaven and Earth Origin Power is almost becoming tangible,¡± Gu You had been observing Li Yuan.


    Within the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    The originally dense Divine Crystal Energy was now surging crazily toward Li Yuan; at this moment, Li Yuan was like a voracious Taotie, frantically absorbing energy from all around and rapidly transforming it into his own ¡®Flying Heaven Origin Power¡¯ through the newly formed Origin Pill.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The Flying Heaven Origin Power also rapidly strengthened Li Yuan¡¯s body, making his aura grow ever more powerful.


    ¡°Flying Heaven!¡±


    ¡°The eight fleeting streaks of starlight just now must have been the eight Innate Star Meridian Marks,¡± Gu You observed Li Yuan, her heart filled with unspeakable shock, ¡°Truly eight Star Meridians?¡±


    ¡°According to what my father left behind,¡±


    ¡°If there are seven Innate Star Meridian Marks, once one becomes a Flying Heaven Warrior, one would probably reach level 31.¡± Gu You thought to herself, ¡°Li Yuan should be stronger, I estimate he could directly reach level 32 or 33.¡±


    That would save a lot of time.


    But as time passed,


    Gu You¡¯s heart filled with more shock because¡­ the transformation of Li Yuan¡¯s life energy showed no signs of stopping.


    Level 31!


    Level 32!


    Level 33!


    Li Yuan was still voraciously devouring the Divine Crystal Energy¡­ This was unbelievable, as normally even with a strong Origin Pill foundation, growth should be gradual.


    Just like a person can¡¯t become obese in one meal.


    The growth of the Origin Pill should be the same.


    But Li Yuan completely broke this norm¡­ causing Gu You to shift from initial shock to gradually becoming somewhat numb. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In a blink, several days passed.


    ¡°In just a few days, he grew to level 35 in one breath? And it hasn¡¯t stopped?¡± Gu You was in disbelief, ¡°Could it be that upon breaking through the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, he needs to grow to the Flying Heaven limit, to level 38?¡±


    This was entirely beyond Gu You¡¯s expectations.


    She was very familiar with the breakthrough scenes for those with Five-Star Meridians and Six Star Veins; she had seen too many¡­ For Seven Star Veins, she had read enough literature to have a basic understanding.


    Only the Second Rank Eight Star Veins.


    Even many books in the Divine Realm recorded very little about them, mainly speculations, because there were too few¡­ making the details of the breakthroughs for these super prodigies entirely secret.


    Apart from some superpowers, others had no clue.


    ¡°Perhaps,¡±


    ¡°This is what makes the Second Rank Eight Star Veins special,¡± Gu You could only attribute it to this: ¡°Blessed by heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, even the Second Rank Eight Star Veins are legendary.¡±


    ¡°But Li Yuan has accomplished it even within the Mortal Domain,¡± Gu You¡¯s heart was filled with expectation, ¡°Father, I have found a good successor for you. I will fulfill your last wish.¡±


    ¡°I will succeed.¡±

    ¡°True God? Heavenly Divine!¡±

    ¡°He will definitely become a super existence in the Divine Realm in the future.¡± Gu You could no longer imagine how far Li Yuan would go.


    Initially, the highest goal she set for Li Yuan was merely at the Second Rank Seven Star Veins.


    Second Rank Seven Star Veins, Second Rank Eight Star Veins, seemingly just a step away, but its rarity was more than ten thousand times.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    ...


    ¡°He¡¯s reached Level 36,¡± Gu You felt it was to be expected, even if Li Yuan were to suddenly transform into a Semi-Divine right there, she wouldn¡¯t be too surprised.


    ¡­


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough finally ended, and his life aura had completely stabilized.


    ¡°Three influxes of Origin Power into the body, the effects are indeed unimaginable,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the Divine Crystal Chamber, deeply shocked as well.


    After the Origin Pill was initially formed.


    Without hesitating, Li Yuan directly activated the golden mist that had long been stored in the second level of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, allowing his Life Level to continuously soar¡­ This rapid transformation was not favored by heaven and earth.


    Rather, it was the magic of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡°In less than ten days.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve broken through from Level 30 to Level 37 in one go,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on his Divine Palace panel.

    And his bodily strength, unprecedentedly strong due to the Heavenly Origin Power.


    The strength of the Origin Power and the body, the basic strength was more than a hundred times more than before¡­ It gave Li Yuan an illusion that he could kill his former self with just a slap.


    ¡°Semi-Divine?¡±

    ¡°Three influxes of Origin Power into the body, the effects are truly unimaginable,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the Divine Crystal Chamber, his heart profoundly shaken again.

    ¡°`


    After Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level had stabilized, he walked straight out of the Divine Crystal Chamber and entered the Main Hall of the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Not far away stood the figure of a girl in white.


    ¡°Sister,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve completed the breakthrough and condensed the Eight Innate Star Meridians Origin Pill.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Gu You¡¯s face also beamed with an unrestrainable smile, filled with emotion, ¡°I watched the entire scene of your breakthrough. The Second Rank Eight Star Veins condensing the Origin Pill¡­ to reach level 37 in just ten days is truly inconceivable, no less than the power of many especially unique and wondrous objects.¡±


    ...


    ¡°The Innate Eight Star Meridians are indeed much more special than the Seven Star Veins,¡± Gu You couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°No wonder they have become a legend in the Divine Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment.


    Was his attainment of the three entries of Origin Power into his body being attributed by Gu You to the Innate Eight Star Meridians?


    However, he decided to go along with the mistake.


    ¡°Indeed, the Innate Eight Star Meridians are special,¡± Li Yuan spoke vaguely.


    He also roughly understood that probably because the Second Rank Eight Star Meridians were so rare and occurrences so few, even Gu You with her expansive knowledge was unclear what would happen once someone broke through.


    ¡°How do you feel now?¡± asked Gu You.


    ¡°Very strong,¡± Li Yuan replied candidly, ¡°My power is much greater than before. Even if I were to face the Semi-Divine from last time now, the outcome would be uncertain.¡±


    That encounter in the Flame Surge Star Realm.


    That Alien Race Semi-Divine, even with remote attacks of Origin Power, had pressured both Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡­ Close combat would mean certain death for both.


    And among them, Liu Bing¡¯s combat strength had been above Li Yuan¡¯s at that time¡­ From this, one could see the huge gap between Li Yuan before breakthrough and a Semi-Divine¡¯s power.


    ¡°That Semi-Divine from last time should be one of the weaker ones among their kind,¡± Gu You chuckled, ¡°You¡¯ve just broken through and haven¡¯t yet had the time to practice Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Once you master several Star Techniques to the Third Rank Limit, especially the All Things Divine Body to the Third Rank Limit¡­ then, defeating or even slaying that Semi-Divine from last time should be a piece of cake,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    In battles between the strong, Star Techniques are incredibly important¡­ The more powerful the Star Technique, the wider the gap from the lower-tier techniques.


    The All Things Divine Body, once cultivated to the Third Rank Limit, would be level 27.


    Now, Semi-Divines, even if they practiced Seventh Layer Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank Limit, are only at level 28.


    ¡°Sister, can I pass the third challenge left by Master now?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    The Ancient Torch Divine had left five challenges for his Direct Disciples.


    The first and second challenges were for the Prime Warrior stage.


    The third challenge was for the Flying Heaven Stage.


    The fourth challenge was for the Semi-Divine Stage.


    And the fifth challenge could only be attempted by those who Ascend to God.


    ¡°A one in ten chance,¡± Gu You deliberated and then said, ¡°Your current strength might not even be equal to Fang Hai before he achieved Seven Star Veins, just barely reaching the threshold of Semi-Divine.¡± Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    His power is not up to that of the principal before the breakthrough? It made sense, after all, the principal had already reached the threshold of the Law of Water, quite profound even among Semi-Divines¡­ His Spear Technique¡¯s mystery was unrivaled among Prime Warriors, but quite ordinary when compared to Semi-Divines.


    Even the weakest Semi-Divines are at the Sixth Stage Perfection Level.


    Those slightly stronger cross the Threshold of the Law.


    Semi-Divine Peak Experts have terrifying Law Comprehension¡­ It is their powerful strength coupled with mystical moves that make a Semi-Divine¡¯s power completely surpass that of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    Most Semi-Divines, in their youth, were top-tier geniuses among Prime Warriors.


    ¡°If you want to try, there¡¯s no harm,¡± Gu You said, ¡°After all, you have five chances¡­ With a bit more time, even if you fail this time, you will surely succeed next time.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Follow me,¡± Gu You said.


    Soon after.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Li Yuan and Gu You returned to the Main Hall, a trace of contemplation on Li Yuan¡¯s face.


    ¡°I lost terribly,¡± Li Yuan said helplessly.


    In the third challenge, the opponent was an extremely powerful Puppet at the Semi-Divine Level¡­ Li Yuan was defeated within less than ten moves.


    ¡°The third challenge requires you to match up against a normal level 41 Semi-Divine,¡± Gu You said with a smile, ¡°It still presents some difficulty¡­ Do you feel the gap?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°My Star Techniques and the mystery of my moves are not strong enough,¡± Li Yuan said with a grin, ¡°When my Spear Technique reaches the Threshold of the Law level, I will come and try again.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Earth and Wind fusion Spear Technique was almost on par with the Sixth Stage Limit, not far from the Initial Rank Seventh Stage.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Gu You said with a chuckle, ¡°Now that you have achieved Flying Heaven with the Eight Star Meridians, your potential and talent have far exceeded that of our father. After all, our father only reached the Seven Star Veins when he ascended to God¡­ Your Law Talent is also extremely high, while it may not be as freakish as your Star Vein Talent, it is still top-notch against the expanse of the Divine Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    ¡°Your Soul Will talent is similarly at the pinnacle.¡±


    ¡°From many perspectives, your future is immeasurable,¡± Gu You said with feeling, ¡°If you were born in the Divine Realm, even Heavenly Divine would probably take you on as a disciple directly¡­ It¡¯s just a pity you were born in the Mortal Domain.¡±


    ¡°Compared with the top talents of the Divine Realm, this is your biggest weakness, the lack of external resources,¡± Gu You continued, ¡°Such as those essential wondrous treasures, support from Enlightenment Treasures¡­ The top talents of the Divine Realm have resources far surpassing yours.¡±


    Li Yuan had to admit it.


    Gu You was right.


    ¡°So, if you want to maximize your Star Vein Talent and achieve the Nine Star Pulse at the Flying Heaven Stage, then you must strive with all your might to reach the Peak in various areas, including your Soul Realm and Law Comprehension,¡± Gu You said, ¡°Only then will you have the hope of taking your Star Veins even further.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Awakening the Star Veins.


    First, look to your own innate talents, and have that many Life Stars waiting to be unearthed.

    Chapter 641: Chapter 352 The Legend of the Ten-Star Meridian_2


    Moreover, there are requirements for the soul, law comprehension etc¡­ If one¡¯s own strength is not enough, if there are some exotic treasures, one might still have a chance to awaken more Star Meridians.


    However, each of these exotic treasures is extremely precious.


    They scarcely exist in the Mortal Domain.


    ¡°Furthermore, there is the Nine Mountains Nine Leaves.¡± Gu You said, ¡°In the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, there are likely secrets or treasures that even Heavenly Divines would consider important¡­ If it were in the Divine Realm, treasures like these wouldn¡¯t even be something you little guys could compete for.¡±


    ¡°But in the Mortal Domain, it becomes possible.¡±


    ¡­


    ...


    After clashing with the Semi-Divine Puppet, Li Yuan realized he still needed time to grow and accumulate.


    Gu You¡¯s words also made Li Yuan¡¯s future path clearer.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan walked out of the Ancient Divine Palace, and at the same time, a Divine Thought had entered the Heavenly Snake Hall.


    Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall, after conversing with Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan quickly learned another secret message.


    ¡°Flying Heaven, Semi-Divine stage, can at most awaken one more Star Meridian each?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°Once the Origin Pill is formed, the foundation is already set, and it is difficult to break through the limit.¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded seriously, ¡°Do you remember why the messages and texts I left repeatedly emphasize that to Ascend to Heavenly God, you must awaken at least five Star Meridians by the Second Rank?¡±


    Li Yuan thought about it, indeed those crystal stones had mentioned quite a bit.


    ¡°To Ascend to God, you must have Seven Star Meridians, that¡¯s the baseline.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°So, starting with a Five Star Meridian and consolidating the Origin Pill, awakening one additional Star Meridian in both Flying Heaven and Semi-God stages¡­ Seven Star Meridians is the limit.¡±


    ¡°Similarly.¡±


    ¡°Those who formed the Origin Pill with Six Star Meridians, before Ascending to God, achieving Eight Star Meridians is the limit.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°This is almost an ironclad rule in the long years of the Divine Realm.¡±


    ¡°Almost?¡± Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°The operation of heaven and earth always leaves a glimmer of hope, theoretically anything is possible, but it¡¯s just theory,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°At least, I have never seen anyone break it in any texts.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    Just like ordinary people, theoretically, they could live to 150 years without any sickness¡­ but it¡¯s just theory. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Senior Qiu, does this mean, since I consolidated the Origin Pill with Eight Star Meridians, my limit is Ten Star Meridians?¡± A spark flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Once Ascending to God, the Star Meridians are completely fixed, almost unchangeable.


    Thus, the Semi-God is the last stage to awaken Star Meridians.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I wanted to tell you.¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Meridians, in the Divine Realm, is considered legendary, many Heavenly Gods might not see even one in their lifetimes, but the Divine Realm vast, in its endless years, still some emerge.¡±


    ¡°In the history of my Heaven Snake Clan, there have been several.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, he had discussed this with Little Bing.


    According to Little Bing¡¯s inherited memories¡­ in the millions of years history of the Heaven Snake Clan, hundreds of Heavenly Gods have been born¡­ but only a few with Second Rank Eight Star Meridians.


    ¡°But when they finally Ascended to God, they all were just Nine Star Meridians.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°None could achieve Ten Star Meridians¡­ in the history of my Heaven Snake clan, there has been no Ten Star Meridians powerhouse.¡±


    ¡°None?¡± Li Yuan was momentarily stunned.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, given the strength of the Heaven Snake Clan, if an exceptional genius with Second Rank Eight Star Meridians was born, they should go all out to help reach Ten Star Meridians.


    ¡°Every creature theoretically has numerous Star Meridians in its body¡­ but the body has its limitations, the soul¡¯s integration with the Life Star also has its limits, talent also has its limits.¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°The awakening of Star Meridians, its difficulty skyrocketing later on.¡±


    ¡°But in any case, only Second Rank Eight Star Meridians hold the hope of finally achieving Ten Star Meridians.¡±


    ¡°If talking about Second Rank Eight Star Meridians, in the vast Divine Realm, one might be born every era.¡±


    ¡°Then, Ten Star Meridians is indeed the supreme legend of the Divine Realm.¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Many superpowers, I¡¯ve never heard of one being born.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Qiu Bingzun, truly from the Heaven Snake Clan, has a higher vision than Gu You¡­ concerning the secret of Ten Star Meridians, Gu You didn¡¯t mention it.


    ¡°Senior.¡±


    ¡°I will always strive towards Ten Star Meridians.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Success or failure, we¡¯ll see in the future.¡±


    Li Yuan was not frightened by Qiu Bingzun¡¯s words.


    No hope?


    You have to try and strive to know.


    After conversing with Liu Bing for a while, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Phantom finally dissipated.


    ¡°Senior Qiu, the harder you say it is, the less likely Brother seems to give up.¡± Liu Bing whispered.


    ¡°I knew his character long ago.¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, then sighed, ¡°Normally speaking, I think he has no chance at all, after all, those overlords in the Divine Realm can¡¯t even do it¡­ but Li Yuan¡­ always excels at creating miracles.¡±


    ¡°And moreover, with the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, miracles might just come into being,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°But regardless, his future awakening of the Nine Star Pulse should not be difficult.¡±


    Liu Bing nodded slightly.


    ¡°Xiaobing, cultivate for a while longer, then attempt a breakthrough,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°The Second Rank Eight Star Veins do not need to be forcibly achieved.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing nodded, but her eyes still brimmed with fighting spirit.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough to Flying Heaven occurred quietly within the Ancient Divine Palace.


    However, when Li Yuan arrived at the palace on the peak of Seven Star Mountain and met with the Mountain Lord Duanmu Hong.


    Duanmu Hong was taken aback.


    ¡°Li Yuan, your aura?¡± Duanmu Hong, dressed in a white robe, couldn¡¯t help but say.


    He looked at Li Yuan, only to feel a chilling thrill, as if he was facing a terrifying demon god.


    It felt like facing a semi-divine from the Alien Race.


    ¡°Have you ascended to Flying Heaven?¡± Duanmu Hong stared at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan replied with a nod and a smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right, even if you had a breakthrough, you should be at most level 31,¡± Duanmu Hong said, filled with confusion.


    ¡°Mountain Lord, I have already sent a message to the Alliance Hierarch, I am going to see him now,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Duanmu Hong nodded.


    Watching Li Yuan enter the passageway of the palace corridor, Duanmu Hong was still secretly astounded, ¡°Even if Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension is high, it shouldn¡¯t transform his life aura, unless¡­ has Li Yuan reached level 37?¡±


    Li Yuan achieving Seven Stars Pulse and Eight Stars Pulse was a secret, known only to a few within the Seven Star Civilization.


    However, many were guessing that Li Yuan was a Seven Star Pulse.


    ¡°If it¡¯s truly level 37¡­ our Seven Star Civilization might soon see another Flying Heaven Warrior capable of slaying a demi-god,¡± Duanmu Hong muttered to himself.


    ¡­


    Inside the mysterious space.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully, immediately noticing Dongfang Ji at the void¡¯s end.


    Before, Li Yuan did not understand.


    But having ascended to Flying Heaven and reached level 37, especially with the further enhancement of his soul, Li Yuan¡¯s perception ability had grown stronger¡­ surpassing that of ordinary demi-gods.


    Space!


    At that moment, Li Yuan could fully confirm that with a 99% probability, he and Dongfang Ji were not in the same space.


    Li Yuan was perceiving Dongfang Ji.


    Dongfang Ji was also observing Li Yuan, the more he observed, the more shocked he felt in his heart.


    ¡°Level 37?¡± Dongfang Ji finally spoke, ¡°Your soul must also be nearly in the Void God Realm.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch sees clearly,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Innate Eight Star Veins are indeed formidable,¡± Dongfang Ji naturally attributed all this to the miraculous Eight Star Veins.


    Li Yuan naturally did not explain.


    ¡°Do you now have the confidence to kill a demi-god?¡± Dongfang Ji asked.


    ¡°Not yet,¡± Li Yuan replied. ¡°I have just made a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true, I was too anxious,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and chuckled. ¡°Your mentor could do it because he had accumulated a long time in the Flying Heaven Realm, making his Sword Technique extremely strong¡­ Your Law Comprehension indeed still has a big gap.¡±


    ¡°But in the future, you will certainly be much stronger than him,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    He was very pleased.


    Fang Hai was something he was satisfied with, thinking there was hope to catch up to himself¡­ but Li Yuan was an absolute surprise.


    A surprise he dared not imagine.


    ¡°What do you plan to do next?¡± Dongfang Ji asked. ¡°Is there anything you need my help with?¡±


    ¡°Cultivate Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan replied. ¡°Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors can cultivate up to four Star Techniques¡­ once I master the Ultimate Body Refinement Technique, I should be able to cultivate five Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Once the Star Techniques are somewhat mastered, naturally the strength will surge.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just, the Star Techniques I¡¯m cultivating are mostly very demanding on external materials,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°Many treasures aren¡¯t available even in the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ I hope the Alliance Hierarch can help a bit.¡±


    ¡°Treasures?¡± Dongfang Ji laughed. ¡°Sure, I treat you and Fang Hai equally.¡±


    ¡°Whatever treasures you need, just let me know.¡±


    ¡°But I won¡¯t give them to you for free, you must use Seven Stars Points or equivalently valued treasures to exchange.¡±

 Chapter 642: 353: The Secret of the Alliance Hierarch

    Chapter 642: Chapter 353: The Secret of the Alliance Hierarch


    ¡°I understand,¡± said Li Yuan, well aware of the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s rules. It was with Seven Stars Points that he had previously secured the treasure to propel his soul to the Semi-Divine Level.


    Whew!


    With a mere thought from Li Yuan, the potent Flying Heaven Origin Power already seeped from his fingertips, condensing to form a light screen beside him.


    First Rank Life possesses only the strength of the flesh.


    Second Rank Life begins to awaken the Star Meridian, allowing for basic use of Origin Power, though it is difficult to separate from the body and can at most cling to the outer layers.


    Third Rank Life can easily project Origin Power out of the body for a variety of long-range techniques such as exerting domains. However, the farther the power extends from the body, the more challenging it is to control and the weaker its might.


    ...


    As formidable as a Fourth Rank Semi-Divine, Origin Power can travel hundreds of kilometers from the body¡­ yet at such a distance, it¡¯s hard even for a Level 30 Flying Heaven Warrior to kill.


    At this moment, on the light screen activated by Li Yuan, there was a dense list of an enormous number of treasures, totaling over three hundred kinds.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, these are the treasures,¡± Li Yuan said respectfully.


    Dongfang Ji examined the treasures on the light screen closely before he couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°This isn¡¯t just a few; are you planning to cultivate several Supreme Star Techniques?¡±


    ¡°Three,¡± Li Yuan hesitated before adding, ¡°plus two Seventh Layer Star Techniques.¡±


    Indeed, the list of treasures on the screen was what Li Yuan had planned for the five Supreme Star Techniques he wanted to cultivate.


    Yet, compared to the Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡­ Five Nine Layers Star Veins were even more incredible. The cultivation of any Supreme Star Technique to the Third Rank Limit would require numerous treasures, including some exotic rarities.


    Hence, Li Yuan kept some secrets to himself.


    ¡°Three?¡±


    ¡°Three Supreme Star Techniques?¡± Dongfang Ji was quite taken aback, but with his extensive knowledge, a brief analysis led him to feel that something was off with the list of treasures.


    Nevertheless, he did not expose Li Yuan.


    ¡°There are too many treasures here, and quite a few are very precious, with some that I¡¯ve never even heard of,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at Li Yuan.


    ¡°So I can¡¯t assure you I can obtain them. It will take some time before I can tell you,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°Now that you¡¯ve become powerful enough, I won¡¯t keep you in the dark.¡±


    ¡°I have a secret channel for obtaining treasures, which is related to the Nine Mountains World and also to the Divine Realm¡­ Once you make your way through the Nine Mountains World, you will understand fully,¡± Dongfang Ji said, looking at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    He wasn¡¯t surprised that the Alliance Hierarch had additional channels for treasures¡­ but they were linked to the Nine Mountains World and the Divine Realm?


    Could it be that the Alliance Hierarch could directly communicate with the Divine Realm?


    Indeed, this was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°Through this treasure channel, it is normally possible to exchange for Fourth Rank Treasures and Fifth Rank Treasures, but your list has too many rarities,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and said, ¡°Wait a moment.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Dongfang Ji closed his eyes gently, as if trying to communicate, to see if the treasure exchange was feasible.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan waited patiently.


    A full quarter of an hour later.


    ¡°I have now confirmed your list of treasures,¡± Dongfang Ji opened his eyes and then gestured from afar.


    Immediately.


    On Li Yuan¡¯s treasure light screen, over ninety percent of the treasure names glowed.


    ¡°These treasures that are shining, I can fulfill your request,¡± Dongfang Ji said to Li Yuan, ¡°But those remaining, I can¡¯t get them for you.¡±


    Li Yuan swept his gaze over the list.


    The treasures that the Alliance Hierarch had marked could allow the cultivation of the three already possessed Supreme Star Techniques, the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± ¡°Heavenly Wind Star Vein True Solution,¡± and ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein,¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    The two new Supreme Star Techniques he had chosen, ¡°Heavenly God Feather¡± and ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± lacked the most crucial treasures and couldn¡¯t be cultivated to the Third Rank Limit.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, for these exchangeable treasures, how many Seven Stars Points would be needed?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°As per the quantities you¡¯ve marked,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°a total of 8.5 million Seven Stars Points is required.¡±


    ¡°8.5 million Seven Stars Points?¡± Li Yuan widened his eyes, equivalent to 85 Fangshen Crystals.


    That was outrageous; that amount could be used to exchange for several Divine Artifacts.


    But after a brief consideration, Li Yuan relaxed. After all, these were for Supreme Star Techniques, and if he had chosen to practice Nine Layers Star Techniques, the needed points would have likely plummeted.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, if I were to exchange for these treasures, how many Seven Stars Points would it take?¡± Li Yuan waved his hand.


    Immediately, another light screen appeared beside Li Yuan.


    The number of treasures shown had dramatically decreased, with only less than two hundred items remaining. These were exactly the necessary treasure list for cultivating the three Supreme Star Techniques like ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°So much less?¡± Dongfang Ji noticed the new list of treasures and understood Li Yuan¡¯s intentions.


    If the corresponding Star Techniques could not be cultivated, then many treasures were temporarily unnecessary to exchange.


    ¡°Give me a moment,¡± Dongfang Ji pondered briefly before slowly saying, ¡°6.5 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    That was already significantly less than the 8.5 million Points.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, deduct from my Seven Stars Points,¡± said Li Yuan, ¡°I¡¯m approximately 3 million Points short. How much value would these treasures have?¡± sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whew!


    Li Yuan gestured and out flew a Storage Treasure, which contained the spoils from when he had previously swept through the Second Level Star Realm, slaughtering those Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Whoosh~ A dark red light swept over the Storage Treasure, and in just a few seconds.


    ¡°These treasures are worth about 200,000 Seven Stars Points,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    Compared to the needed Seven Stars Points, the gap was still startling!


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, what if we add this?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but wave his hand, and a crystal orb materialized in the void, emanating strange fluctuations.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    ¡°Deity Visualization Method?¡± A flicker of surprise passed through Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes, and he closed his eyes slightly to sense it: ¡°Hmm, it¡¯s just an inferior Deity Visualization Method¡­ If you want to sell it, I can give you 2 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°2 million?¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Li Yuan now understood that the grade of the Deity Visualization Method was greatly related to the level of the gods¡­ The Visualization Methods left by Pseudo-Gods and True Gods naturally differ a lot.


    2 million Seven Stars Points was already higher than what Li Yuan had anticipated the value to be.


    To create a Visualization Method, gods would usually spend at least several months, or even several years¡­ The time spent was not important; the key issue was that it would consume their own soul origin power, severely affecting their cultivation.


    Therefore, unless there were significant benefits, such as for close kin, cherished friends, or highly valued disciples¡­ gods generally would not create Visualization Methods.


    ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll keep this Visualization Method for now.¡± Li Yuan shook his head and waved his hand to put away the Visualization Method.


    Immediately afterward, Li Yuan waved his hand again, and a pile of Divine Crystals with different auras appeared in midair.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Here are a total of 28 Fangshen Crystals.¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°Adding my Seven Stars Points and the treasures I showed earlier¡­ that should be about enough to purchase these treasures.¡±


    From the Ming Xu Star Realm, Li Yuan had obtained about 60 Fangshen Crystals of the Five Elements, plus some he had accumulated himself, totaling 65 Fangshen Crystals.


    It pained him to part with nearly half of them now.


    But wealth in the form of treasures was meant to be transformed into value, so Li Yuan did not hesitate much longer.


    ¡°You do have quite a few Divine Crystals,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile: ¡°Okay, what you have offered is enough.¡±


    Swoosh!


    A red light swept by, and ripples spread through space. Li Yuan¡¯s offered treasures and Divine Crystals had all disappeared into the void.


    ¡°Within seven days, I will deliver all the treasures you require to your Seven Stars Mountain Palace,¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°For now, until you have accumulated enough strength, you should continue to stay on Seven Stars Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    As a newly achieved Martial Artist of the Flying Heaven rank, he indeed had a lot of room for improvement and was not in a hurry to venture out.


    ¡°When you feel that your strength is sufficient and no longer wish to stay in Feixing, come to see me,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, ¡°By then, you should go back to Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Return to Blue Star?¡± Li Yuan was stirred.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan recalled the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s previous words, that when he achieved the Flying Heaven rank, he would take up the position of the principal.


    ¡°The Seven Great Planets have many dangerous locations to defend. The Demigods are scattered across the planets, and we have always been stretched thin, which is why wars break out so often,¡± Dongfang Ji explained: ¡°I had no demands of you in the past¡­ but once you possess the combat power of a Demigod, you will inevitably have to shoulder some responsibilities.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    For decades, the reason the entire civilization had remained relatively stable was inseparably linked to the many Demigods and Flying Heaven Martial Artists guarding the entrances to various Star Realms.


    As Li Yuan prepared to leave.


    ¡°You¡¯ve achieved the rank of Flying Heaven; I should give you a congratulatory gift,¡± Dongfang Ji suddenly said: ¡°Go to the left, inside there is a cavern. Within the cavern are some Star Technique inheritances. You may choose any one Star Technique to cultivate¡­ Detailed instructions will be provided.¡±


    ¡°Star Technique inheritance?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished, suddenly recalling something that Bai Shan Semi-Divine had mentioned before.


    There were incomplete Supreme Star Techniques within the Seven Star Civilization.


    But on the ¡®Star Technique exchange list¡¯ of the Seven Stars Treasury, he could only see up to Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    Could it be¡­


    ¡°Yes, Alliance Hierarch.¡± Li Yuan turned around, following the guidance of the Alliance Hierarch, quickly stepping through the void, and passing through a mysterious mist.


    Suddenly.


    Lights shone brightly before him, and a mysterious cavern truly appeared. The surface of the cavern was emitting a faint golden light, which seemed tacky but also carried a rather restrained might.


    ¡°This cavern itself is a treasure,¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°Just how many treasures does the Alliance Hierarch have?¡±


    He walked straight into the cavern.


    Whoosh~


    ¡°Li Yuan, hello.¡± An array of light converged, taking the shape of an elderly man in a white robe, who greeted him with a smile: ¡°My surname is Yun. We¡¯ve communicated before.¡±


    ¡°Mr. Yun?¡± Li Yuan instantly recognized the man¡¯s identity.


    ¡°If you are here, it means that the Alliance Hierarch has truly acknowledged you; you now truly rank among the highest echelons of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the white-robed elder said with a smile: ¡°Most Demigods within the civilization are unaware of the ¡®Star Technique World.''¡±


    Star Technique World? Li Yuan curiously looked around the cavern, which was filled with densely packed Inheritance Crystal Stones.


    ¡°As instructed by the Alliance Hierarch, you may choose any one Star Technique inheritance,¡± the white-robed elder said with a smile: ¡°At the same time, once chosen, you will also directly receive the related treasures necessary for cultivation up to the Third Rank limit.¡±


    ¡°This is the gift from the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Take a look and see if there is any Star Technique you¡¯d like.¡± With a wave of his hand, the white-robed elder caused a screen of light to appear to his right, displaying a dense list of Star Technique names and detailed explanations.


    Li Yuan glanced at it.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Void Golden Body¡¯ (up to the Sixth Rank): Metal Vein Star Technique, Body Refining Category¡­¡±


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®True Solution of the Heaven Metal Star Vein¡¯ (up to the Sixth Rank): Metal Vein¡­¡±

 Chapter 643: 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!

    Chapter 643: Chapter 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!


    On the light screen projection of Yun Lao Lie, each Star Technique was detailed in its description.


    For instance, which category of the Law of the Great Dao did it belong to, or how high the Life Level requirements were when cultivating to the limit of each stage; and what treasures were necessary to exchange for it, along with their value¡­the details were meticulous.


    ¡°The so-called Star Technique Cave Heaven of the Alliance Hierarch actually has five Nine Layer Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, ¡°and there are even more than a hundred Seventh Layer Star Techniques.¡±


    It was known, even Qiu Bingzun, who had the heritage of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, only kept four Nine Layer Star Techniques for himself¡­of course, this might be because Qiu Bingzun did not leave everything behind, given that he was only a companion of Liu Bing.


    But this was enough to illustrate the terrifying foundation of the Alliance Hierarch.


    Looking across the entire Dimensional Domain.


    ...


    Even forces like the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Crimson Sun Civilization probably could not compare.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also vaguely understood why, previously, it was rumored outside that the Alliance Hierarch and other half-Demigod civilizations had most practiced up to the Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    A man is not guilty for being frugal, the guilt lies in possessing a gem.


    ¡°According to the explanation above,¡± Void Golden Divine Body ¡°is an advancement of the Seventh Layer Star Technique ¡®Myriad Gold Divine Body,''¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°The Alliance Hierarch must belong to the Metal Lineage¡­he must have received a powerful inheritance that belongs to the Metal Lineage.¡± ¡°Just the secrets that my Seven Star Civilization has now exposed are enough to make various civilizations covet¡­If other civilizations knew we had so many Nine Layer Star Techniques, they would be even crazier.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°A hundred years ago, the Alliance Hierarch slaughtered dozens of half-Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, deterring all sides,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But his strength must have been far inferior to what it is today.¡±


    Considering the growth rate of the Alliance Hierarch, he hasn¡¯t made a move in over a hundred years.


    Exactly what level has he reached? This is a mystery.


    ¡°What exactly did the Alliance Hierarch obtain from the Nine Mountains World? Are the many treasures and top-tier Star Techniques obtained over a hundred years ago, or acquired steadily over recent decades?¡± Li Yuan had many conjectures.


    The stronger his own strength became, the more he could feel the might of the Alliance Hierarch.


    He was progressing, just like Principal Fang Hai, the Alliance Hierarch, and others were rapidly growing.


    ¡°These five Nine Layer Star Techniques.¡±


    ¡°Three belong to the Metal Lineage, one to the Earth Lineage, and one to the Wood Lineage,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°I have no talent in either the Metal or Wood Lineages, so there¡¯s no need to force it.¡±


    No one can excel at everything.


    The Law of the Great Dao is vast and unpredictable; even powerful beings typically choose one path and delve into it.


    Even Li Yuan, with his exceptional Star Vein Talent, was only progressing in the ways of Earth and Wind.


    A powerful person is someone who strives to strengthen their mightiest aspect even further.


    Li Yuan¡¯s remaining choice was clear.


    Moreover, this Nine Layer Star Technique also happened to complement Li Yuan¡¯s weaknesses and matched the direction of his insights on the True Meaning of Earth.


    It was known that Li Yuan¡¯s strongest move has always been ¡®Shadow Domain,¡¯ which combines a domain with clones for combat.


    As for the Seventh Layer Star Techniques? Li Yuan had not considered them. After all, in the two True God Heritages, there were plenty of Seventh Layer Star Techniques combined ¨C there was no need to inherit in this Star Technique World. If choosing, it was best to choose the Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    ¡°Yun Lao,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I have made my choice. I¡¯ll take the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Heaven and Earth River.''¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Yun Lao was not surprised by Li Yuan¡¯s choice.


    He knew Li Yuan¡¯s background; ordinary Star Techniques were definitely not something he lacked¡­only the Nine Layer Star Techniques could have enough attraction.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Yun Lao¡¯s hand, a Inheritance Crystal Stone emitting a strange light flew out from the depths of the cave.


    And headed straight for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Place your hand upon the Crystal Stone and silently feel,¡± Yun Lao said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand, palm downward on the Crystal Stone. Immediately, the Crystal Stone lit up brilliantly, transmitting a massive amount of information that rushed crazily into Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s powerful soul, it only took a moment to complete the reception.


    ¡°Such a powerful method.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, with the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth, Star Marks can actually be cultivated and fused into the Star Meridian like this,¡± Li Yuan marveled in his heart. ¡°Heaven and Earth as a river, the self as a dragon, roaming across heaven and earth.¡±


    His previous three Nine Layer Star Techniques, like ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± were aimed at exploring the potential of a Divine Body, while the other two auxiliary techniques mainly increased Law Compatibility¡­ none were directly used for combat.


    But ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± was different; it was a genuine combat secret skill, forming an overwhelmingly powerful domain for fighting the enemy.


    In order to cultivate it successfully, strong enough Star Marks were needed, and the requirements for Li Yuan¡¯s Earth Lineage were extremely high.


    ¡°If I could cultivate it to the Third Rank Limit.¡±


    ¡°In head-to-head combat or group battles, my might would increase dramatically,¡± Li Yuan felt an intense excitement in his heart. ¡°Once I succeed in cultivating ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ in the future¡­¡±


    As for the other Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Heavenly God Feather,¡± that was an Escape Method Star Technique, which Li Yuan was not particularly eager to cultivate.


    ¡°Even if I cultivate ¡®Heavenly God Feather,¡¯ my flying speed would not be anywhere near as fast as Xiaobing¡¯s; she is naturally the darling of the Wind Lineage,¡± Li Yuan silently thought to himself. ¡°If Xiaobing and I work together, it¡¯s completely possible for me to engage in head-on combat, while Xiaobing can better assist and restrain, and escape if necessary.¡±


    Supreme powerhouses might be adept in every aspect.


    But in their weaker moments, they need to focus on their strengths.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes.


    ¡°The heritage acceptance is complete,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°The treasures required for cultivating ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit will be sent to you together with the other treasures you purchase.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Yun Lao,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Having learned so much, Li Yuan also had a rough understanding that the treasures needed to cultivate a Nine Layer Star Technique to the Third Rank Limit ranged from 10 to 40 Fangshen Crystals.


    Like Body Refining Category Star Techniques, they often required the most treasures.


    And the cultivation of ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± to the Third Rank Limit, roughly required treasures worth 25 Fangshen Crystals.

 Chapter 644: 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_2

    Chapter 644: Chapter 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_2


    It was 2.5 million Seven Stars Points.


    One could say, the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s congratulatory gift was already quite substantial.


    ¡°Give thanks to the Alliance Hierarch,¡± the white-robed elder smiled, ¡°Advancing the Nine Layer Star Technique to the Third Rank Limit is not too extravagant in terms of cost, and the treasures required aren¡¯t numerous¡­ but once you step into the Semi-Divine Realm, wanting to cultivate to the Fourth Rank Limit, that will be difficult.¡± sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Like for those in the Body Refining Category, by then it¡¯d probably take over a thousand Fangshen Crystals,¡± the white-robed elder said sentimentally, ¡°And even if you had such wealth, in the Mortal Domain, you couldn¡¯t exchange it for some of the rarities.¡±


    Li Yuan was rendered speechless.


    Cultivate the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the Fourth Rank Limit? That was something he dared not even consider right now.


    ...


    According to the scriptures left by Qiu Bingzun, in the Divine Realm, many powerful beings were very poor¡­ Weapons, Secret Treasures, cultivating Star Techniques, purchasing opportunities to comprehend the Mysteries of the Laws, raising Spirit Beasts, buying Origin Power Weapons, and so on.


    All of these required an immense fortune.


    ¡°Save up slowly,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°If all else fails, I¡¯ll think about it after becoming Semi-Divine.¡±


    Becoming a Semi-Divine was still very distant for Li Yuan.


    Currently, he had not even fully comprehended the True Meaning of Earth to Sixth Stage Perfection¡­ not even reaching the threshold to step into the Semi-Divine Realm.


    ¡­


    Upon leaving the cave.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, I have accepted the inheritance,¡± Li Yuan declared respectfully.


    ¡°Do you have any other questions?¡± Dongfang Ji inquired.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, when may I travel to the Nine Leaves World?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    Being in the Flying Heaven Realm, one could travel to the Nine Leaves World.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°To make it through the Nine Leaves World, you need at least the combat power of a Semi-Divine Middle Rank, which is level 42,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°For you, it¡¯s not difficult. I estimate with a few more years of cultivation, when your Skill Realm is higher, that should be enough¡­ But the stronger you are, the greater your chances.¡±


    ¡°Like your Principal Fang Hai, he had level 42 strength and had reached a bottleneck, so I allowed him to go,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Level 40, level 41, were generally considered to be Semi-Divine Initial Rank.


    Level 42 to level 44 was generally considered Semi-Divine Middle Rank, one must step into the Threshold of the Law at the Law of the Great Dao (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), in order to cultivate to level 42 with Origin Power.


    From level 45 onwards, it was the Semi-Divine Peak realm; one must have Law Comprehension reaching Seventh Stage Middle Rank to cultivate to level 45 with Origin Power.


    ¡°When you will venture into the Nine Leaves World, I have a clear idea,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile, ¡°When your strength is sufficient, I will notify you.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan replied.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan walked back to Seven Star Mountain through the corridor.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the news of your breakthrough is still confidential,¡± Duanmu Hong said with a smile, ¡°We in the Martial Divine Hall¡¯s upper echelons will certainly not leak it, but you yourself must be careful. No one can guarantee that there aren¡¯t spies from Alien Races on my Seven Star Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan replied, ¡°Thank you, Mountain Lord.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to continue calling me Mountain Lord,¡± Duanmu Hong said earnestly, ¡°You are not my disciple. I haven¡¯t guided you in your cultivation; Mountain Lord is just a position¡­ In terms of strength, even before your breakthrough you were not inferior to me, and now you are definitely beyond me. Just call me Duanmu, or directly use my full name.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan did not insist further.


    The Circle of the Strong had its own set rules¡­ unless there was a clear lineage of mentorship or a close relationship during the growth process.


    For example, Fang Hai, even though he had stepped down as the Principal of Kunlun Martial University, was still regarded as the Principal in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Ru Haiyi, in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, would always be the Dean.


    Otherwise, the way powerhouses addressed each other would often change with the fluctuations in strength.


    ¡­


    Inside the Quiet Chamber of the palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to continue Concealed Cultivation.¡±


    ¡°Although I have just entered the Flying Heaven Realm, I am already considered invincible among my peers¡­ but my future enemies are destined not to be Flying Heaven Warriors, but Alien Race Semi-Divines,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°Upgrading from level 30 to level 37 only improved my Basic Strength, but in other areas, I¡¯ve hardly changed from when I was a Prime Warrior.¡± Li Yuan quietly contemplated, ¡°I need more time to accumulate.¡±


    Before the breakthrough, Li Yuan¡¯s direct combat power was comparable to a level 36 Star Master, relying on powerful Soul Attacks to sweep through many Second Level Star Realms, but when faced with Alien Race Semi-Divines¡­ once the opponent got close, Li Yuan dared not take a single blow and would directly use Secret Treasures.


    Because, in close combat, the former Li Yuan might have been instantly killed by a full-force Blow from a Ruins Flame Semi-Divine.


    A level 40 Semi-Divine¡¯s Basic Strength is tens of times that of a level 35 Flying Heaven Warrior, and if you include Law Comprehension and the difference in Star Techniques¡­ the strength of a level 40 Semi-Divine is hundreds or even thousands of times that of a level 35 Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Now, upon breaking through in one fell swoop, the mere increase in basics has made my direct combat power increase by a hundredfold, catapulting me to the threshold of Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Once the Star Technique cultivation is complete, and my strength soars again, I should be able to pass the test left by Ancient Torch Divine.¡±


    ¡°But this is still not enough,¡± Li Yuan had great ambitions.


    ¡°The biggest difference between me and the Principal is Law Comprehension,¡± Li Yuan was very clear about this, ¡°The Principal has been cultivating for decades longer than me, crossing into the Seventh Stage layer early on, especially after transforming into a Semi-Divine Level Soul, the Law of Water has likely reached the Seventh Stage Middle Rank already.¡±


    ¡°And I,¡±


    ¡°Wind, Earth, are just at the Sixth Stage High Rank, even the merging of True Intent is not comparable to the Seventh Stage,¡± Li Yuan mused.


    In terms of cultivation speed, he was much faster than the Principal.


    But the Principal¡¯s Cultivation Time was much longer than his.


    Time has astonishing magic.


    ¡°Effort.¡±


    ¡°Now that I¡¯ve stepped into the Flying Heaven, with a stronger bodily foundation, it makes sensing the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth even more clear,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with anticipation, ¡°Give me some more time, I will strive to make Wind and Earth both step into the Law Level, only then will I truly dominate in all directions, fearless among the Semi-Divine.¡±


    From awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace in his second year of high school to today, Li Yuan had only cultivated for a total of nine years.


    Next,


    Upon achieving the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and the ¡°True Solution of the Heaven Wind Star Vein¡± to the Third Rank Limit¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s speed of comprehending the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth would increase even more.

 Chapter 645: 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_3

    Chapter 645: Chapter 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_3


    ¡°`


    If I had another ten years, Li Yuan believed he could rival a Semi-Divine Peak in strength even without breaking through to become Semi-Divine.


    ¡­


    Five days later, Li Yuan received a notification from Elder Yun.


    He had received all sorts of exotic treasures necessary for cultivating a few Star Techniques.


    No one was arranged to deliver them; instead, Li Yuan was asked to personally collect them from the Alliance Hierarch¡­ Treasures worth millions of Seven Stars Points were not appropriate to be escorted by a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ...


    Upon arriving at that mysterious space, he meticulously checked the treasures.


    After confirming everything was correct,


    Li Yuan took the treasures back to the Seven Stars Mountain Palace and officially began his first solitary cultivation session since becoming Flying Heaven.


    ¡­In the Ancient Divine Palace, inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    ¡°I¡¯ll start with cultivating the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Once the body is strong, cultivating other Star Techniques will be much easier.¡±


    Whirr~


    With a wave of his hand, a dense myriad of exotic treasures appeared in the surrounding void, each emitting a rich aura of Origin Power.


    Predominantly Earth System treasures, supplemented with Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire categories.


    ¡°Refinement.¡±


    ¡°Absorption.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s powerful Soul Power cooperated with his Star Meridian to directly initiate the Method of the ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s body instantly generated a tremendous attracting force, beginning to frantically absorb the essence contained in the exotic treasures from all directions.


    However, these treasures, primarily of Fourth Rank, couldn¡¯t withstand Li Yuan¡¯s absorptive refinement.


    Quickly, the quintessential essence of the five elements continuously merged into the limbs and bones of Li Yuan¡¯s body, making him even stronger.


    At the same time, with the essence of these treasures, Li Yuan¡¯s Mental Consciousness began to inscribe Third Rank All Things Star Marks on his Star Meridian.


    It wasn¡¯t too difficult.


    ¡°In terms of True Intent Comprehension, my cultivation of ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit is still somewhat forced.¡±


    ¡°Luckily!¡±


    ¡°My body and Soul are strong enough,¡± Li Yuan thought. If he hadn¡¯t undergone Origin Power infusion three times and was only at level 32 or 33, it probably would have been difficult to cultivate.


    But at level 37, he was completely sufficient.


    Like many powerhouses at level 35, even if they fortuitously awakened a Nine Layer Star Vein, without a strong enough body, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique.


    Star Meridian and Star Technique are complementary.


    As time passed, it took Li Yuan almost half a month to finally cultivate the ¡°All Things Divine Body¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s body instantly grew ten meters tall, his Divine Body shining with dazzling light, emitting a vast and boundless aura. This formidable presence was definitely enough to take any Flying Heaven Warrior¡¯s breath away.


    Gradually,


    The light retracted, but the lifeforce radiated by Li Yuan became even more terrifying, having fully adapted to this mighty power.


    ¡°¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ at Third Rank Limit, Body Refining Star Technique at level 27.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes gleamed, ¡°It is indeed worthy of being a Nine Layer Body Refining Technique.¡±


    Boom!


    Li Yuan suddenly clapped his hands together, and instantly the air was intensely compressed, exploding with a terrifying roar as if it were a cosmic explosion¡­ Fortunately, the Divine Crystal Chamber was sturdy enough.


    ¡°With one slap,¡±


    ¡°Many level 40 Semi-Divine, even if they cultivate the Body Refining Star Technique, typically cannot reach the Fourth Rank Limit in strength¡­ they are no match for me,¡± Li Yuan grinned, ¡°And if it¡¯s a level 40 Semi-Divine who has not cultivated the Body Refining Star Technique?¡±


    Daring a head-on confrontation, they would probably be slapped to death by Li Yuan.


    Moreover!


    Li Yuan was only at level 37.1 now. Once he cultivated to level 38.9, his Basic Strength would only grow more terrifying¡­ At that time, slaying a Semi-Divine at the Initial Rank would be a piece of cake.


    And that was just one Supreme Star Technique.


    If there were more.


    ¡°Killing a Semi-Divine is a legend for the majority of Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± Li Yuan felt quite calm inside.


    But for Li Yuan? If he couldn¡¯t manage to slay a Semi-Divine, that would be the real joke.


    ¡­


    After successfully cultivating the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan spent nearly a month, S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Consecutively bringing the ¡°Heaven Wind Star Vein True Solution¡± and ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    These two auxiliary Star Techniques required a high bodily standard to cultivate to the Perfection Level¡­ but for Li Yuan, who had already cultivated the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, it was a breeze.


    ¡°Indeed!¡±


    ¡°Just as I anticipated, reaching the Third Rank Limit with these two auxiliary Nine Layer Star Techniques greatly increased my affinity with the mysterious pulsations of the Earth and Wind elements,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone.


    ¡­


    However, it was only with the cultivation of the fourth Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± that Li Yuan truly encountered hardship.


    It was easy to cultivate to the First Rank Limit and the Second Rank Limit.


    ¡°To condense the Third Rank ¡®Heaven and Earth River Star Mark,¡¯ is too difficult,¡± Li Yuan frowned, ¡°My True Meaning of Earth Comprehension isn¡¯t high enough.¡±


    ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± leans more towards combat Techniques and requires a higher level of True Intent Comprehension compared to ¡°All Things Divine Body.¡±


    ¡°I can only spend more time.¡±


    ¡°On one hand, striving to advance into Sixth Stage Perfection in Earth¡¯s True Meaning as soon as possible, and on the other hand, wear it down with time,¡± Li Yuan was not in a hurry, ¡°I have already cultivated it to level 19, and it can come into effect during combat.¡±


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors take many years to cultivate Sixth Layer Star Techniques, let alone Seventh Layer Star Techniques.


    Even more so for a Nine Layer Star Technique. Li Yuan was very patient.


    Before long,


    Li Yuan easily brought another one of his Seventh Layer Star Techniques, ¡°Nine Shadows Clone,¡± to the Third Rank Limit.


    Lacking key treasures to cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± Li Yuan could not idle.


    Although ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± can¡¯t match up to ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± it could still greatly enhance Li Yuan¡¯s strength.


    ¡­


    Time flowed like water, and after cultivating several Star Techniques to the Third Rank Limit, Li Yuan continued to dedicate himself to cultivation.


    Continuing to ponder the Third Rank Star Marks of ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±¡­ Inscribing the Star Marks for over one hundred thousand Life Stars was a colossal project, mainly because Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent Comprehension was not high enough.


    ¡°`

 Chapter 646: 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_4

    Chapter 646: Chapter 354: Power Transformation! Seventh Stage!_4


    On the other hand,


    Li Yuan was relying on treasures such as the Thousand Illusions Formation Map, the Map of Myriad Stars, and the Inheritance Imprint left by Qiu Bingzun, constantly pondering and refining the True Meaning of Wind and the True Meaning of Earth.


    And he kept trying to integrate the mysteries of these two True Intents into his Spear Technique.


    Time flew by, and before long it was March of 2051.


    The Seven Star Mountain enjoyed spring all year round, but the vast lands below were already covered in snow and ice.


    In front of the palace,


    ...


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged, facing the vast emptiness, feeling the mysterious fluctuations between heaven and earth.


    Hum~Hum~


    Streams of earthy yellow air currents were born out of thin air, swirling around him, the air currents so dense they emitted a terrifying aura.


    A kilometer away,


    ¡°How long has Li Yuan been like this?¡± Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°The last time I came to see him, he was already like this, right?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s been almost half a month now,¡± Lin Lanyue replied, ¡°but nobody can get near him.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t get close?¡± Dantai Feng asked, puzzled.


    ¡°Dantai, try it and you¡¯ll see,¡± Tian Dazhuang said with a teasing smile, ¡°but remember not to use Star Technique or be too reckless¡­ getting hurt or disturbing Li Yuan would be bad.¡±


    Now intrigued, Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help responding, his figure darted hundreds of meters in a flash, approaching the earthy yellow air currents that encircled Li Yuan.


    As soon as he approached within a five hundred meter radius,


    Whoosh~


    Those strands of earthy yellow air currents, as if alive, surged viciously towards Dantai Feng.


    ¡°Not good,¡± Dantai Feng¡¯s face changed, and he immediately retreated explosively, with a thought, his Battle Suit covered his whole body.


    Boom!


    The air currents moved like dragons, wild and unruly, striking Dantai Feng with lightning speed, sending him flying back a hundred meters, crashing into a row of large trees.


    He flew up from the forest in a woeful state.


    ¡°This is too exaggerated,¡± Dantai Feng couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Is this just the power of heaven and earth he¡¯s invoking?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Tian Dazhuang remarked, ¡°This is just an unconscious counterattack during Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation¡­ If he were to release his full power, I suspect, any ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior would be instantly crushed to death by these air currents.¡±


    The surrounding members of Seven Star Mountain all nodded in agreement.


    The scene of Li Yuan¡¯s quiet cultivation had become a recent attraction of Seven Star Mountain and had spread far and wide.


    Of course, with Li Yuan¡¯s aura concealed, people like Tian Dazhuang and Dantai Feng were unable to sense that Li Yuan had achieved the state of a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    As for the comprehension of True Intent?


    The outside world had long recognized Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of True Intent as reaching the Demigod level¡­ The power of heaven and earth he invoked was strong, but within everyone¡¯s expectations.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Li Yuan is awake,¡± someone said in a low voice, pointing towards the distance.


    Everyone instinctively looked over.


    Before the palace, Li Yuan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed as if asleep, suddenly raised his hand slightly and swung it outward, as if an artist was splashing ink.


    So carefree and unrestrained!


    But the earthy yellow air currents that had been swirling around him, following the wave of his hand, converged from within a radius of several hundred meters instantly, coalescing into a beam of light that shot out.


    It was as if a marksman had made a casual thrust.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The light pierced the sky, leaving a dazzling, long-lasting trail tens of kilometers long in the void.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°This must be tens of kilometers at least.¡±


    ¡°A casual wave that affects over ten kilometers?¡± The group of Seven Star Mountain members, who had originally come to watch the spectacle, were stunned and shocked.


    ¡°Seventh Stage level.¡±


    Standing inconspicuously in a corner was Alicia. A cry of astonishment echoed in her mind, ¡°The mystery of this move has definitely reached the Seventh Stage level.¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 647: 335: Divine Artifact and Secret Treasure

    Chapter 647: Chapter 335: Divine Artifact and Secret Treasure


    ¡°Seventh Stage?¡±


    Alicia was shocked in her heart, ¡°Xiao Xing, are you sure? Seventh Stage is truly stepping into the door of Laws, and even for a Demigod, many have not stepped into the threshold of Laws.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no mistake; his pointer bore no fluctuations of Origin Power, yet the attack range reached a staggering tens of kilometers,¡± the young voice continued. ¡°If it were merely the Mysteries of True Intent invoking the Power of Heaven and Earth, the attack range would be at most one or two kilometers, even for Sixth Stage Perfection.¡±


    ¡°I can confirm this point,¡± Xiao Xing said gravely.


    Alicia couldn¡¯t help but nod; she had cultivated for many years, already condensed her True Intent, was a top-level Prime Warrior, and practiced very powerful Star Technique¡­ In terms of strength, she was not inferior to Wu Manong from the past, and she still had a broad perspective.


    ¡°Seventh Stage.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Prime Warrior, Semi-Divine Level Soul, Semi-Divine Level Law Comprehension,¡± Xiao Xing remarked with emotion. ¡°Truly a monster, even in the Divine Realm of my earlier years, I have never seen such a monstrous creature.¡±


    ¡°The previous Fang Hai, Flying Heaven slaughtering a Demigod, was horrifying enough.¡±


    ¡°The current Li Yuan is even more monstrous than Fang Hai,¡± Xiao Xing said solemnly. ¡°And this Li Yuan¡¯s Star Vein Talent is also extremely high, he must have already achieved Seven Star Meridians¡­¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Seven Star Meridians?¡± a glint flickered in Alicia¡¯s eyes.


    She had only just awakened to Five-Star Meridian, aiming for Second Rank Six Star Meridians.


    She understood the significance of Second Rank Seven Star Meridians.


    ¡°Strange.¡±


    ¡°His foundation is deep enough; why hasn¡¯t he broken through yet?¡± Xiao Xing wondered. ¡°Logically, he should have ascended to Flying Heaven by now; remaining at Second Rank doesn¡¯t make much sense.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, Li Yuan has higher aspirations,¡± Alicia responded.


    ¡­


    In front of the palace on the square.


    ¡°Cultivating the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit, the speed of grasping the mysteries of heaven and earth has indeed surged greatly,¡± Li Yuan watched a wisp of light and sighed inwardly, ¡°In just a few months, I have once again broken through a bottleneck, bringing my True Intent of Earth to Sixth Stage Perfection.¡±


    Half a month ago, Li Yuan¡¯s True Intent of Earth had broken through.


    Over this half month, he had been continuously trying to combine the breakthroughs in Earth and Wind True Intent¡­ Today, he finally succeeded.


    This perfect combination transformed Li Yuan¡¯s technique might¡­ It was already comparable to the initial level of the Seventh Stage.


    ¡°Using a finger as a spear.¡±


    ¡°This Spear Technique should be considered as entering the threshold of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ barely achieving the first form,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± was the Spear Technique that most suited him among the many secret techniques left behind by Qiu Bingzun. This was a Spear Technique that combined Earth and Wind.


    Li Yuan had chosen it early on.


    However, this secret technique of Spear Technique demanded a person¡¯s True Intent of Earth or Wind to reach Sixth Stage Perfection to merely enter¡­ Therefore, it was not until half a month ago that he truly began to practice it.


    Creating his own moves was most compatible with himself and had the greatest might.


    But when his own strength was weak, having the guidance of seniors¡¯ secret techniques often made progress fastest.


    ¡°If it were an ordinary Demigod level Spear Technique, it wouldn¡¯t be much help to me,¡± Li Yuan felt deeply moved, ¡°but the set of Spear Technique kept by Senior Qiu is left behind by a True God at the peak.¡±


    ¡°To practice it to the end points directly to the Space Law.¡±


    It suited Li Yuan extremely well.


    With such a powerful Spear Technique, how could Li Yuan waste time, pondering over Spear Techniques himself?


    ¡°Wait until my realm is high enough.¡±


    ¡°To reach the creator¡¯s level of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ then trying to create my own Law Technique wouldn¡¯t be too late,¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t in a hurry, learning from seniors and powerful figures was not shameful.


    And now, the first form of ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ had extremely strong might, enough to match the mysterious Seventh Stage.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be long.¡±


    ¡°My True Intent of Wind should be able to reach Sixth Stage Perfection, at that time merging it into the Spear Technique, should make my Spear Technique¡¯s might stronger,¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile.


    This process of feeling oneself become stronger step by step was really very comforting.


    ¡°This move is likely seen by many members of Seven Star Mountain,¡± Li Yuan glanced at the distance, seeing many good friends.


    Li Yuan wasn¡¯t worried.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had already spread his information throughout the entire Dimensional Domain, it was already recognized that his Spear Technique had reached Demigod level¡­ Even exposing his Spear Technique reaching Seventh Stage was quite normal.


    Just couldn¡¯t expose that he had achieved Eight Star Pulse, having reached Level 37.


    ¡°My cultivated secret technique, with its retracted aura, unless one has a Semi-Divine Level Soul, I fear only the likes of Duanmu Mountain Master when close, could sense something,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The chances of exposure were very, very low.


    ¡­


    And after greeting a group of good friends, Li Yuan returned to his palace¡¯s Quiet Chamber.


    Activated the Origin Power Array.


    In these recent months, Li Yuan¡¯s palace¡¯s Origin Power Array had already been reinforced by Duanmu Hong and others, ensuring no one could pry.


    With a thought, Li Yuan had entered the Ancient Divine Palace. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Inside the palace.


    ¡°Sister, I want to try the third trial again,¡± Li Yuan declared loudly; although he preliminarily endured the Ancient Divine Palace, many secrets within the palace were still controlled by Gu You.


    Whoosh!


    Light and shadow converged, a barefoot girl in white appeared, smiling and saying, ¡°Several months have passed, you had produced the All Things Divine Body and didn¡¯t even break through, now you come, looking like your strength has improved¡­ The authority for Hundred Battles Arena has been activated.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan nodded, his figure moved, and he quickly flew into the distant corridor, entering the Hundred Battles Arena.


    Hundred Battles Arena, mainly Hundred Battles Arena.


    In the past, Li Yuan used to come to the Hundred Battles Arena often, and sparred with many Flying Heaven Golden Armored Warriors here, grinding himself.


    But after becoming demi-god, the Flying Heaven Golden Armored Warriors had no challenge, so he seldom came.


    Whoom~


    Li Yuan flew down into the Hundred Battles Arena, only to feel the surrounding view rapidly expand, a seemingly only one hundred yards size arena reached ten kilometers in his perception¡­ This was the use of Space Law.

 Chapter 648: 335 Divine Artifact and Secret Treasure_2

    Chapter 648: Chapter 335 Divine Artifact and Secret Treasure_2


    ¡°The third trial,¡± Li Yuan looked toward the distant arena.


    Suddenly¡ª¡ª


    A massive amount of purple liquid emerged from the ground, which rapidly ascended and finally condensed into the form of a burly purple-armored warrior. Standing approximately thirty feet tall, he resembled a War God, radiating a robust aura, holding a colossal Combat Saber in his hand.


    ¡°Just a few months passed and you are back?¡± The purple-armored warrior stared at Li Yuan with a cold and intelligent gaze.


    ¡°I naturally had to come.¡±


    Li Yuan revealed a smile, ¡°Big guy, actually, I have been confident in defeating you for a while, but I¡¯ve been waiting until now. Do you know why?¡±


    ...


    ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t care why,¡± the purple-armored warrior replied icily, ¡°It seems you are very confident, I hope your strength justifies your arrogance.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, your end won¡¯t be any better than last time.¡±


    Boom! The purple-armored warrior immediately made his move, his speed escalating to a terrifying level as he charged towards Li Yuan like lightning.


    Ten kilometers?


    For a Semi-Divine Rank expert, this distance was too brief, merely requiring a blink or two to close in.


    ¡°Nice timing,¡± Li Yuan smiled and thought.


    Boom!


    Centered around Li Yuan, an invisible soul fluctuation burst forth instantaneously, silently invading the purple-armored warrior¡¯s mind, attempting to influence his consciousness.


    Soul Secret Technique¡ª¡±Mind Soul¡±!


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Soul Secret Technique, you used it last time, and it didn¡¯t affect me, and now again¡­ hmm?¡± The purple-armored warrior shouted angrily, but a hint of confusion flashed through his eyes.


    He was trapped!


    Little did he know, when they fought the last time Li Yuan had just made a breakthrough, but months passed, and Li Yuan not only advanced his Star Technique to its current limit¡­ but also enhanced two Soul Secret Techniques to become even more formidable.


    After all, breaking through realms and enhanced comprehension of Heaven and Earth had taken Li Yuan¡¯s soul studies to the next level.


    Now, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Secret Technique could still not affect a Semi-Divine Peak expert.


    But for a purple-armored warrior who was merely at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank, it could still cause some disturbance.


    ¡°Wake up!¡± S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Wake up!¡± The purple-armored warrior roared in his heart, realizing he had been tricked, his inner fury screaming as he almost instantly regained clarity.


    But the next moment!


    The expression on the purple-armored warrior¡¯s face changed, because what met him head-on was an immensely large fist.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    That punch, containing terrifying might, brutally smashed onto his head, nearly knocking him senseless and causing him to stagger, nearly kneeling.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± The purple-armored warrior bellowed, surprise and anger surging in his heart as he was about to desperately retreat.


    ¡°Smack~¡±


    Another slap harshly landed, sending him flying backward, the terrifying impact within the slap causing the purple-armored warrior¡¯s body to seethe, his energy crazily draining.


    He, known as having an Undying Body, yet the damages exerted would insanely drain his internal energy.


    Drained energy meant his defeat.


    ¡°How could his strength have improved so much?¡± the purple-armored warrior exclaimed in shock and anger, ¡°It¡¯s only been a short time?¡±


    Last time they fought, he had an absolute advantage.


    ¡°Slash!¡±


    Just as the purple-armored warrior was about to swing his Combat Saber at Li Yuan, he saw Li Yuan dodge the blow in a flash, then another slap harshly landed on the purple-armored warrior¡¯s face.


    Too painful!


    Too fast!


    The purple-armored warrior couldn¡¯t dodge Li Yuan¡¯s slaps.


    ¡°Retreat.¡± The purple-armored warrior was about to retreat.


    ¡°Heaven and Earth River, Bind!¡± Li Yuan thought, finally unleashing the Domain Star Technique he had perfected to level 24, the first time he had ever used this technique.


    Rumble rumble~


    From within Li Yuan, an earthy yellow aura burst forth from nothing, majestic like a river, containing immensely terrifying might as it surged in all directions, quickly entwining and binding the purple-armored warrior, causing his speed to sharply decrease.


    ¡°What a strong bind, it¡¯s a Domain Secret Technique.¡± The purple-armored warrior¡¯s expression changed again.


    Whoosh!


    Inside the Domain, Li Yuan moved with incredible ease and ferocity.


    Smack smack smack smack! Li Yuan fully unleashed, slap after slap crazily coming down, the purple-armored warrior, bound by the Domain, couldn¡¯t even dodge.


    He wanted to resist, but affected by the Soul Secret Technique, he occasionally lost focus.


    He was simply powerless to resist.


    Just like that.


    Under Li Yuan¡¯s barrage of fists and slaps, after attacking more than fifty times, he finally depleted the energy of the Purple-Armored Warrior¡­ At last, he transformed into a purple light and dissipated.


    Victory!


    ¡°Haha, exhilarating! Exhilarating!¡± Li Yuan laughed loudly, ¡°Take that for your arrogance last time, slapping me.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A figure in white appeared out of nowhere, somewhat helplessly saying, ¡°Little brother, have you not come to challenge for so long just to advance your strength further to slap him a few more times?¡±


    ¡°Exactly,¡± Li Yuan agreed naturally, smiling, ¡°If I had just cultivated the All Things Divine Body, I could have beaten him too, but I wouldn¡¯t have been this at ease¡­ but now with my realm further advanced, even without using a weapon, I can easily suppress him and beat him however I like.¡±


    ¡°Sister, slapping someone really does feel awesome,¡± Li Yuan grinned and said.


    Gu You chuckled.


    But she had to admit.


    During these months, Li Yuan¡¯s strength had indeed improved greatly.


    Now, a Level 40 Semi-Divine Puppet faced Li Yuan with no power to fight back.


    Li Yuan killed it by slapping it with just his hands, not even using a weapon.


    ¡°Sister, having passed the third trial, I should be able to receive the third gift left by Master, right?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s in the treasure?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t disappoint you,¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°Come with me.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡­


    Soon after, the two returned to the Main Hall, which was as deserted as usual.


    ¡°The third gift Father left for you comes in two types, listen carefully and decide for yourself,¡± the girl said to Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, two gifts?


    Another choice to make?


    ¡°The first gift is purely wealth, 1000 Fangshen Crystals, which you can use to buy what you need for your cultivation,¡± Gu You said.


    1000 Fangshen Crystals? Li Yuan held his breath.


    This is a fortune!


    Although he knew that the treasures left by Ancient Torch Divine would be more precious,


    Li Yuan hadn¡¯t expected that just the Flying Heaven Level gift would consist of 1000 Fangshen Crystals.


    Consider this, an ordinary Semi-Divine, all their wealth and treasures combined would probably amount to just a few dozen Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°And the second gift?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°The second gift is only 100 Fangshen Crystals,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°I will select two Divine Artifacts that suit you based on what you need.¡±


    ¡°Additionally, there is a very strong Slaughter Treasure, which can kill 99% under the Divine level, even Semi-Divine Limit Experts will die if they don¡¯t have special protective treasures,¡± Gu You said, ¡°The choice is yours.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine Limit Experts will die?¡± Li Yuan was secretly amazed, such a rare and valuable secret treasure was truly priceless.


    Normal Pseudo-Gods shouldn¡¯t be able to produce such a secret treasure.


    Li Yuan wanted both gifts, but he also understood¡­ These powerful beings raising successors wouldn¡¯t prepare everything before they¡¯ve grown.


    Usually, they would prepare only a part, the rest would have to be fought for by the successor themselves.


    If everything was given, it would be easy for people to lose their fighting spirit.


    ¡°So essentially, I would exchange 900 Fangshen Crystals for two Divine Artifacts and a secret treasure?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    A Semi-Divine Artifact¡¯s value ranged from 0.1 to 1 Fangshen Crystal.


    While a Fifth Rank Divine Artifact, most are worth between 10 and 100 Fangshen Crystals, but some extremely valuable Fifth Rank Divine Artifacts could be worth hundreds or even thousands of Fangshen Crystals.


    Due to their rarity.


    ¡°No matter which Divine Artifact,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°just that secret treasure alone is worth several hundred Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    Fangshen Crystals can be earned in many ways.


    But such a powerful secret treasure is definitely a key asset, in the Mortal Domain, it would be hard to buy even with Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Second option,¡± Li Yuan made his decision.


    ¡°Good,¡± Gu You had a smile, and with a wave of her hand, an ethereal blue lotus platform appeared out of thin air in the void, emitting a mysterious aura, though it was not large.


    It could only accommodate one person sitting down.


    ¡°A lotus platform? This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with astonishment, he couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Why do I feel like it might not be a real object?¡±


    ¡°You sense correctly,¡± Gu You smiled, ¡°During the Flying Heaven Stage, it is the phase where you¡¯re most vulnerable to dangers, thus, Father prepared these treasures.¡±


    ¡°Both the Divine Artifacts are also oriented towards preservation of life.¡±


    ¡°This one is called the ¡®Thousand Heart Lotus Platform,¡¯ a Pseudo-God Artifact to protect the soul.¡±

 Chapter 649: 356: Nine Yellow Dragons! Liu Bing Breakthrough

    Chapter 649: Chapter 356: Nine Yellow Dragons! Liu Bing Breakthrough


    ¡°A Divine Artifact that guards the soul?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, a treasured relic indeed!


    Typical Pseudo-God Artifacts, like knives, spears, swords and the like, can be exchanged for a mere dozen or so Fangshen Crystals.


    But a Secret Treasure that guards the soul, made of materials extremely difficult to find, can hardly be nurtured by the ordinary heaven and earth.


    According to the Divine Realm data given by Qiu Bingzun, to create a soul-class Divine Artifact, firstly, the materials are hard to find, and secondly, the artifact refining technique requires utmost precision, which also renders this type of treasure extremely valuable.


    A soul-class Pseudo-God Artifact costs at least several hundred Fangshen Crystals, if not over a thousand.


    ¡°In my father¡¯s expectations, his direct disciple should only be able to get through the third challenge after stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm and cultivating for dozens of years,¡± the girl sighed. ¡°He certainly didn¡¯t expect that you would be able to easily pass through so soon after your breakthrough.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°However, you accumulated considerable depth during your Prime Warrior stage,¡± Gu You said. ¡°The might of the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform that can be unleashed is mainly related to your own Soul Will.¡±


    ¡°Soul Will?¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    ¡°If you only had the spiritual power and willpower of a Flying Heaven Peak,¡± Gu You said, ¡°then this Thousand Heart Lotus Platform would only be able to unleash a very small part of its might, enough to let you face a Semi-Demigod without fear of their attacks.¡±


    Li Yuan pondered.


    Just like a great hammer, which would exhibit vastly different might in the hands of an ordinary person compared to a master of the Hammer Technique.


    ¡°But your soul is now strong, almost like a Pseudo-God¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Your willpower is estimated to be comparable to the peak of Semi-Divine,¡± Gu You said. ¡°Therefore, once you refine the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform, it will be enough to let you easily withstand the soul attacks of ordinary Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    ¡°In the early stages of cultivation, most do not delve deep into soul research, and their souls are not strong enough, making it difficult to shake the enemy¡¯s body and soul combination,¡± Gu You said. ¡°For instance, in the Mortal Domain, Semi-Demigods generally cannot soul-annihilate Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, feeling a profound connection. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His Semi-Divine Peak level soul, despite practicing many secret techniques, could not soul-annihilate a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°But as one progresses further, especially after ascending to godhood, divinities have stronger souls and deeper research into souls, resulting in more and more experts proficient in soul attacks,¡± Gu You said. ¡°For example, the Heavenly Gods, even when widely separated by time and space, can easily soul-annihilate True Gods.¡±


    ¡°Even among those of the same rank, some super-existences skilled in soul attacks have the potential to annihilate their enemies.¡±


    ¡°For instance, there¡¯s a highly renowned Heavenly Divine in the Divine Realm, known as ¡®Lu Ming,¡¯ the contemporary City Lord of a Starry Sky Ancient City called Falling Star City,¡± Gu You spoke with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes. ¡°Back in the day, my father witnessed Lu Ming, with the Falling Star Bow, an Inheritance Divine Artifact of the ancient city, annihilate a Heavenly Divine from billions of miles away with a soul attack.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, holding his breath.


    Lu Ming, a Heavenly Divine? Starry Sky Ancient City? A soul attack that annihilated a Heavenly Divine?


    Indeed sounds formidable!


    ¡°Current City Lord?¡± Li Yuan was curious.


    ¡°In the Divine Realm, there are many Starry Sky Ancient Cities, each with a long legacy and profound heritage,¡± Gu You said with a smile. ¡°Heavenly Divines can only live for three hundred thousand years¡­ naturally, there is a change of city lords every few eras.¡±


    ¡°This Lu Ming, his rise was also filled with hardships¡­ He likes to make friends with heroes from all sides, so in the future, if you go to the Divine Realm, there is a chance you might meet him,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan silently noted it down.


    The Divine Realm is vast, and some things in it still seem a bit distant to him.


    ¡°Anyway.¡±


    ¡°The further you go, the more you need to pay attention to soul defense,¡± Gu You said. ¡°This Thousand Heart Lotus Platform is one of the most important treasures your father left for you.¡±


    ¡°After all.¡±


    ¡°Even my father only had one True God Instrument for soul defense back in the day, which he used himself and didn¡¯t place in the Ancient Divine Palace,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Back when the True Phoenix Divine escaped with the treasures after Nirvana, the Ancient Torch Divine had not yet fallen, so naturally, he wouldn¡¯t have placed his personal treasured relics in the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ The Ancient Divine Palace was just one of Ancient Torch Divine¡¯s contingency plans.


    ¡°This Thousand Heart Lotus Platform, you¡¯ll have to nurture and refine it yourself over time,¡± Gu You said. ¡°Put it away.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, an invisible wave of soul power pulled the nearly illusory platform directly into his own Spiritual World.


    He quickly imprinted his spiritual mark and succeeded in taking ownership.


    Whew!


    The majority of his soul consciousness immediately gathered and formed a seated figure on the platform.


    ¡°If the past was like my soul consciousness was a refugee, resisting enemy attacks only with itself,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now with this Thousand Heart Lotus Platform, it¡¯s as if I¡¯ve entered a fortress, and my soul defense has dramatically increased.¡±


    No wonder Gu You placed so much importance on it.


    ¡°The second artifact is a Divine Artifact Battle Armor,¡± Gu You waved his hand again, and light flickered in the void, slowly descending before finally landing in front of Li Yuan.


    This was a set of black Battle Armor that could perfectly cover the whole body, emanating a powerful aura. Merely suspended there, it exuded an unshakable presence.


    Solid as a mountain!


    ¡°This battle armor?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened; though he had never seen a Divine Artifact, he had seen similar descriptions in Divine Realm data, and even some patterns¡­ But Li Yuan had the strange impression that this Divine Artifact Battle Armor was different from those ordinary Divine Artifact Battle Armor worth twenty Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Do you perceive it?¡± Gu You revealed a smile. ¡°Refine it first, and once you succeed, you will naturally come to know.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind stirred, as he channeled Origin Power into the Combat Armor, attempting to claim it as his own, but immediately met with a fierce resistance.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Artifact, it normally takes someone at the mid-stage of Semi-Divine to have a hope of refining it,¡± Gu You said. ¡°This Combat Armor is an Earth Divine Instrument, and your comprehension of the Law of Earth is not yet deep¡­ It¡¯ll probably take some time.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded. According to common sense, after overcoming the third inheritance, one should have already crossed the Threshold of the Law of Earth¡­ He had managed to pass through easily with his superior Star Technique.


    Time passed by.


    After a full hour, Li Yuan managed to subdue the Spiritual Nature of the Combat Armor with his strong Soul Power and finally, with difficulty, made a tenuous claim of ownership by deploying the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯


    Boom!


    A torrent of information contained within the Combat Armor surged into Li Yuan like a tide, all concerning the various aspects of the Combat Armor.


    ¡°Nine Dragons Xuan Armor? This is an amazing Divine Artifact!¡± A flicker of surprise crossed Li Yuan¡¯s eyes as he fully understood the impressiveness of this artifact.


    The Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, if judged solely on Defense, was just a mid-standard of Fifth Rank, a rather common level among Pseudo-God Artifacts.


    However, its uniqueness lay in the fact that its outer layer held nine ¡®Souls of the Yellow Dragon.¡¯


    The Yellow Dragon, a Divine Beast of the Earth System in the Divine Realm, is innately Divine, existing at the same level as the True Phoenix and Heaven Snake.


    The Nine Dragons Xuan Armor contains nine Yellow Dragon essences, which are actually just parts of the Yellow Dragon¡¯s bloodline, infused by an Artifact Refiner who extracted the ¡®Soul Spirits¡¯ of nine Semi-Divine beings and merged them into the Combat Armor.


    ¡°Activate!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor instantly covered his entire body.


    Roar~ Roar~ Roar~


    Nine Yellow Dragons roared forth from the Combat Armor, stretching out like nine mighty rivers, raging within a hundred meters of Li Yuan¡­ This was him holding back; if he were to fully unleash it, the attack range of the Yellow Dragons would encompass more than ten kilometers.


    The nine Yellow Dragons spread out to attack multiple targets.


    Together, their Might was even greater.


    ¡°This is almost like a First Layer Domain Secret Technique,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but remark.


    The key was that the nine Yellow Dragons from the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor could perfectly synergize with Li Yuan¡¯s Domain Star Technique ¡®Heaven and Earth River,¡¯ with the nine Yellow Dragons roaming and attacking within it, greatly increasing their Might.


    ¡°Such Combat Armor is worth at least 500 Fangshen Crystals,¡± Li Yuan said, unable to contain himself.


    ¡°My father left several Inheritance Divine Artifacts of Pseudo-God Battle Armor,¡± said Gu You. ¡°Each has its own merits, I saw that you¡¯ve cultivated a Domain Star Technique, and thought this Nine Dragons Xuan Armor would be a perfect fit for you; the Yellow Dragon combined with your Domain can provide you with an additional life-saving measure on top of your Battle Armor¡¯s defenses.¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    Although Gu You couldn¡¯t provide him with more Divine Artifacts, he managed to select the ones most suitable for him.


    Whirring~


    With a sweep of his hand, Gu You revealed a black Crystal Stone in his palm, which emitted a rather sinister aura.


    Li Yuan held his breath, feeling a deadly presence from the black Crystal Stone.


    ¡°This is the life-saving Secret Treasure that can vanquish nine out of ten Semi-Divine beings,¡± Gu You said. ¡°But remember, until you¡¯ve crossed the Threshold of the Law of Earth, it¡¯s best not to use it.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± asked Li Yuan, puzzled.


    ¡°These types of treasures are single-use, very unstable internally; they can easily injure you as much as your enemies. Your Origin Power is not strong enough, and without high Law Comprehension, it¡¯s very difficult to control perfectly,¡± Gu You explained earnestly. ¡°However, once controlled, even a Pseudo-God must be careful or risk injury.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    This Slaughter Treasure, if perfectly controlled and unleashed, would certainly lead to the death of a Semi-Divine by conventional logic¡­ The ninety-nine percent probability must account for invincible Semi-Divine beings like the Alliance Hierarch.


    ¡°Alright, put them away,¡± Gu You said, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°When you were a Prime Warrior, you were mostly within the civilization, facing mostly weaker foes; once you become a Semi-Divine, your own Strength will be formidable, and within the Mortal Domain, there will be very few threats¡­ It¡¯s only during the Flying Heaven Stage, when the Strength isn¡¯t as great, yet one has the capability to venture into all kinds of dangerous places, that one is likely to encounter formidable Semi-Divines or even Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    ¡°Soul Defense Treasures, material Defense Divine Artifacts, Slaughter Treasures¡­ all these are for protection.¡±


    ¡°The Ancient Divine Palace can also save your life at critical moments.¡±


    ¡°Hopefully, you can smoothly get through this stage,¡± Gu You sighed lightly.


    A warmth filled Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Gu You was indeed always considering his best interests.


    ¡°Go now,¡± said Gu You. ¡°When it¡¯s time for you to venture to the Nine Leaves World or engage in life-and-death battles with Semi-Divines, send me a message.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡­


    Having obtained the Divine Artifacts and Secret Treasures, as well as 100 Fangshen Crystals, Li Yuan felt in high spirits.


    Nothing within the Seven Star Civilization warranted Li Yuan¡¯s action, so he continued to practice in an orderly manner.


    In the blink of an eye, several months had passed, and it was now June 2051.


    Inside Heavenly Snake Hall.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, congratulations on the breakthrough,¡± the phantom of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense said, looking at Liu Bing, whose life aura had distinctly strengthened by a large margin, smiling, ¡°Just over a month after the breakthrough, and you¡¯ve already reached level 33.¡±


    Half a year after Li Yuan entered the Flying Heaven Realm, Liu Bing had finally made her breakthrough.

 Chapter 650: 357 Demigod Fang Hai

    Chapter 650: Chapter 357 Demigod Fang Hai


    ¡°But you are still far from catching up to you, Big Brother,¡± Liu Bing said helplessly, ¡°You¡¯ve reached Level 37 in such a short time. I¡¯m afraid it will take me another two years to catch up with you.¡±


    ¡°Two years to reach Level 37?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    Liu Bing was a breakthrough Seven Star Vein, and so at the highest peak in the Flying Heaven Stage, she could reach Level 37.9.


    Of course, if she were to further create her own Law and awaken the Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven Stage, she could cultivate to Level 38.9.


    ¡°Most Flying Heaven Warriors in the Mortal Domain are not highly advanced in their own realms, and their Star Meridians are not strong enough. Just accumulating Origin Power, it would take many decades to go from Level 30 to Level 35,¡± a voice rang out as a towering figure with a single horn materialized from converging light and shadows.


    ¡°Senior Qiu,¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly.


    ...


    ¡°But Liu Bing is of the Seven Star Veins and has already crossed the Threshold of the Law, with numerous treasures to aid in her cultivation. Therefore, her increase in Origin Power is quite quick,¡± Qiu Bingzun said, ¡°Spending time on cultivating Origin Power alone is a waste¡­ Instead, one should focus on comprehending the Law or strive to awaken their Life Star.¡±


    ¡°These two are of utmost importance,¡± Qiu Bingzun said.


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement; stronger Star Meridians and higher Law Comprehension would naturally speed up the refinement of Heaven and Earth Origin Power.


    For instance, within a few months, with the help of the Divine Crystal Chamber, he had already progressed from Level 37.1 to 37.5¡­ It was estimated that in another year or so, he could cultivate to Level 38.9.


    Liu Bing¡¯s external cultivation conditions were only better than his own.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity.¡±


    ¡°Despite my utmost efforts, even with the treasures left by the Heavenly Gods, I was unable to break through the bottleneck and ended up breaking through with the Seven Star Veins,¡± Liu Bing said, shaking her head, ¡°The Second Rank Eight Star Veins are simply too difficult. I really don¡¯t know how you did it, Big Brother.¡±


    Li Yuan silently lamented that it was only with a Semi-Divine Level Soul that he achieved the Second Rank Seven Star Veins¡­ Without Spiritual Guidance, and if he had relied solely on time, the chances for reaching Second Rank Eight Star Veins would have been slim.


    In the Mortal Domain, truly, there are too few treasures and opportunities.


    ¡°Walk your own path. Your big brother is probably a peerless genius rarely seen in this Mortal Domain for hundreds of millions of years. Don¡¯t compare yourself to his strengths,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, ¡°At least, in the little more than a month since your breakthrough to Flying Heaven, both your spiritual power and willpower have simultaneously made breakthroughs¡­ Your speed of Law Comprehension progress is faster than your big brother¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes brightened and she said with a chuckle, ¡°Big Brother, my deduction of the Wind Law has already reached the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage.¡±


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Li Yuan remarked sincerely.


    Law Comprehension at the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage was comparable to the standards of many at the Semi-Divine Peak.


    The Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent was indeed one of the top Wind Divine Beasts. Even if it spent years eating and sleeping, it could grow to the True God Peak in a millennium¡­ let alone Liu Bing, who cultivated extremely hard.


    She could also endure loneliness.


    It should be noted that among the three Nine Layer Star Techniques Liu Bing cultivated, one of them was the ¡°True Meaning of the Wind Vein.¡±


    With innate talent already at the top tier, coupled with top-notch external cultivation conditions, and such insane dedication to cultivation¡­ her progress was naturally terrifying.


    At least, in comprehending the Wind Vein, Li Yuan was far inferior to Liu Bing. It was only with the fusion of two veins that Li Yuan barely managed to keep up.


    ¡°Liu Bing, once you cultivate to Level 37.9, in a direct fight, I might not necessarily be your match,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In terms of Weapon Treasures, Liu Bing was probably stronger than him.


    In terms of Star Techniques, he had the advantage.


    But Liu Bing had stronger Law Comprehension.


    ¡°My strength is only temporary,¡± Liu Bing said, ¡°You, Big Brother, are the one with endless potential.¡±


    The two chatted leisurely, and the topic gradually shifted to exchanging understandings of the True Meaning of Wind and the Wind Law.


    Mainly, it was Liu Bing giving insights to Li Yuan.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Big Brother, when do we set out for the Nine Leaves World?¡± Liu Bing asked curiously.


    She had known about the existence of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains for a long time and also knew that during the Flying Heaven Stage, they would set out for the Nine Leaves World.


    ¡°The Nine Leaves World?¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°It¡¯s not certain just yet, but it shouldn¡¯t be too long¡­ Focus on diligent cultivation first, and strive to reach Level 37.9 before entering the Nine Leaves World, so you can exhibit your strongest combat power then.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing was full of fighting spirit.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    While Li Yuan was leisurely cultivating in the Martial Divine Star Realm, in a mysterious place far away in space and time.


    This was a vast world, teeming with countless creatures and filled with wonders. Among them were some extremely powerful divinities standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, enjoying the faith of numerous beings.


    In one such powerful Divine Country.


    Capital.


    Inside an extremely vast mansion, a grand celebration was taking place today.


    ¡°Respectful salutations to Lord Xiahou!¡±


    ¡°Congratulations to Lord Xiahou on being granted the title of Prince in the Flying Heaven Realm, which is extremely rare in the history of our Anbei Divine Country.¡±


    ¡°Haha, indeed, many Demigods struggle to be appointed princes. The last time a Flying Heaven Warrior was appointed prince was over two thousand years ago.¡±


    ¡°Lord Xiahou is powerful, slaying a Demigod with his Flying Heaven State, and the conferment is only right,¡± many powerful beings conversed freely in the depths of the mansion.


    A man in his thirties, clad in a black luxurious garment, was also smiling and interacting with many strong individuals.


    This scene made the servants in the mansion marvel and feel quite proud.


    All the guests were Demigod existences; even among the teeming strong of the Divine Capital, Demigods were big shots¡­ yet they all came to congratulate their master¡ªLord Xiahou.


    As one who was in the Flying Heaven Stage, yet able to converse and laugh freely with numerous Demigods, that bearing and demeanor were unparalleled among countless Flying Heaven existences in the Divine Country.


    ¡°Once the master breaks through to become a Demigod, he will definitely become a supreme existence among Demigods.¡±


    ¡°In the future, he might even have the chance to Ascend to God.¡±


    ¡°Once the master becomes a God, he will be eligible to be a king, qualified to establish his own royal domain. By then, our status will also rise with the tide,¡± the servants thought to themselves.

    F{h*F5-(LjChapter 357 Demigod Fang Hai_2


    They knew that their master had few family members and, seemingly, no offspring.


    So, these servants could expect no small favor.


    Suddenly,


    as many demigods were mingling, a rumble¡ª an incredibly powerful presence was born out of thin air and descended from the clouds above.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Divine,¡± the chatting demigods instinctively sensed it and immediately bent over to salute.


    ...


    The man in the black garment saluted too.


    The clouds dispersed, revealing the figure of an old man in a white robe; his aura was ethereal, far surpassing the group of demigods.


    ¡°Xia Hai.¡± The old man in the white robe looked down at the youth in black.


    ¡°Divine,¡± the youth in black respectfully replied.


    ¡°Though you have joined the Divine Kingdom for only a short time, you have made great contributions; hereby, I specially bestow upon you the title of Xia Marquis,¡± the elder in the white robe spoke softly. ¡°I hope you will continue to strive and become demigod, and ultimately ascend to divinity¡­ I look forward to the day you stand beside me.¡±


    ¡°Yes, junior shall endeavor,¡± the man in the black garment replied.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, the white-robed elder let a round command tablet, emitting an ancient and vast aura, slowly fall.


    The man in the black garment reached out to catch it; the tablet¡¯s front was engraved with the character ¡°Marquis,¡± while the back depicted a landscape of mountains and rivers, suggesting a vast world within at a glance.


    His heart stirred with excitement, he thought to himself: ¡°Finally, I have obtained the Prince¡¯s Command, though it is the lowest Third Class Marquis, it is still a princely rank, and the trial mission is thus completed.¡±


    Soon after,


    the grand banquet concluded, the elder in white and the many demigods departed, and the newly founded Xia Marquis Mansion quieted down.


    The man in the black garment then instructed his many servants, ¡°I need to enter secluded cultivation.¡±


    He immediately returned to the depths of the mansion and activated the formation.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go back,¡± the man in the black garment sat cross-legged on the Jade Platform, his heart full of wistfulness: ¡°Within ten years, acquiring any divine kingdom¡¯s Prince¡¯s Command was truly challenging.¡±


    In this world, gods contended for supremacy, with numerous divine kingdoms competing, and countless mighty ones.


    Even with strength comparable to a demigod, he had to be extremely cautious in this world, where a slight misstep could lead to downfall.


    ¡°Is this really a world within the Nine Leaves World?¡± the man in the black garment pondered, ¡°Any divine kingdom is opened by a True God¡­ There are hundreds of them throughout the world¡­ The legendary three ancient kingdoms were founded by beings that transcend True Gods.¡±


    In any case, over these years, the man in the black garment had to admit that the strength of this world far surpassed his home in the Mortal Domain.


    ¡°My homeland, the Mortal Domain, seems vast, but it hardly has a few True Gods now,¡± he mused, with a sigh.


    ¡°But that is, after all, my home.¡±


    The man in the black garment was Fang Hai, who had been adventuring in this mysterious world for several years.


    He took out the round command tablet.


    ¡°Registered member ¡®Fang Hai,¡¯ requesting to complete the mission,¡± Fang Hai activated the corresponding mark within him with a thought.


    Swiftly,


    Buzz¡ªa wave of invisible fluctuation swept by, and a crack seemed to appear in front of Fang Hai as he vanished on the spot.


    The crack dissipated.


    Deep within the capital, in a special temporal realm filled with endless flames, a terrifying Exotic Beast sat cross-legged, exuding an aura of boundless dread.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Master,¡± a deep voice echoed in the realm, ¡°a mysterious force has just infiltrated the capital¡­ the newly promoted Xia Marquis within the Divine Kingdom, a Third Rank Seven Star Veins¡­ disappeared instantly.¡±


    ¡°Disappeared?¡± the fearsome Exotic Beast opened its eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s very strange, the details are unclear,¡± the deep voice replied, ¡°By rights, not even a Heavenly Divine descending could do so without detection, given the defensive might of the capital¡¯s Formation.¡±


    ¡°Leave it for now.¡±


    ¡°Is it possible to trace this Xia Marquis¡¯s whereabouts?¡± the terrifying Exotic Beast inquired softly. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Not at the moment,¡± the deep voice replied, ¡°I have just checked; he appeared suddenly a few years ago¡­ Though he has caused no harm, instead, he has contributed a great deal.¡±


    ¡°Then stop the search and maintain his noble rank. Meanwhile, announce publicly that Xia Marquis has been called by me to enter secluded cultivation,¡± the terrifying Exotic Beast slowly suggested, ¡°There are many mysteries in this world that I cannot decipher¡­ perhaps this is a disciple sent by some mysterious realm for training.¡±


    ¡°If it has caused no destruction, there¡¯s no need to offend.¡±


    ¡°If he can ascend to True God in the future and return, it would be akin to having formed a good relationship,¡± the terrifying Exotic Beast declared.


    ¡°Your subordinate understands.¡±


    ¡­


    Whoosh¡ª


    Time and space wavered, and as Fang Hai felt the changing scenery, he found himself back in the familiar place.


    A towering, endless temple.


    ¡°Registered member Fang Hai, congratulations on completing the Nine Leaves Trial and becoming a Silver Garment member,¡± a soothing voice announced, ¡°Now, you must make a choice; there are nine Ascension Gifts, you may choose any four. Each of these gifts has its own specialization.¡±


    Whoosh¡ª


    Countless lights converged to form a huge screen of light which displayed a wealth of text.


    Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    ¡°First, the Myriad Realms Commerce Association Command; the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber is¡­ through the Boundary Order, you can communicate with the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber, once every hundred years you can purchase treasures¡­¡±


    ¡°Second, the Myriad Divine Legacies Grotto¡­¡±


    ¡°Third, the Sixth Rank Civilization Herald¡­¡±


    ¡°Fourth, the Heavenly Divine Registered Disciple Legacy¡­¡±


    ¡°Fifth¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Fang Hai, looking at the nine Ascension Gifts and the detailed explanations that followed, was thoroughly shaken.


    At this moment,


    he finally understood what his teacher Dongfang Ji had said before he entered the Nine Leaves World, ¡°You are more outstanding than I am, and if all goes well, you will definitely pass through the Nine Leaves World¡­ Then you will understand everything.¡±


    Fang Hai now fully understood.

 Chapter 652: 357 Demigod Fang Hai_3

    F{h*F5-(LjChapter 357 Demigod Fang Hai_3


    Originally, the teacher¡¯s everything truly originated from Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    ¡°Nine promotions ceremony, some are biased towards enhancing personal strength, while some can improve the entire civilization¡¯s foundation, though they offer little help to oneself,¡± Fang Hai sighed inwardly, ¡°The teacher¡­ he sacrificed too much.¡±


    From the numerous traces of the past, Fang Hai had roughly understood the choices his teacher had made.


    Most were biased towards enhancing the civilization¡¯s foundation.


    ¡°No wonder the teacher said that he had already done many things and had laid a solid foundation for the entire civilization, which allowed me to focus more on enhancing myself,¡± thought Fang Hai.


    In the past, he didn¡¯t understand why the teacher didn¡¯t directly say it, but now he understood.


    ...


    There were limitations due to the laws¡¯ oaths.


    Many things could only be done, not spoken¡­


    ¡°The teacher always said I was more outstanding, but if the teacher had chosen those that enhanced his personal strength, he would probably be even stronger,¡± Fang Hai shook his head in private, his admiration for his teacher growing even more.


    Time passed.


    Soon after, Fang Hai had made his choice.


    ¡°Silver Garment Member Fang Hai,¡± a gentle voice arose, ¡°I hope you continue to strive hard and pass the Nine Mountains Trial soon¡­ to become a Golden Garment Member¡­¡±


    ¡­


    In September 2051, at Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan was deeply cultivating inside his own palace.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan sensed a vibration from his smart ring and immediately looked down at it, his eyes widening instantly as boundless joy surged in his heart, ¡°The principal, ascended to semi-divine?¡±


    This was news from Dongfang Ji, simply meaning Fang Hai had just returned from the Nine Leaves World and had ascended to semi-divine, now possessing the power of semi-divine peak.


    ¡°When the principal was flying heaven, he could kill a semi-god, thanks to his extremely high law comprehension,¡± Li Yuan was not surprised at all, ¡°Now that his breakthrough has happened, it is very normal to have semi-divine peak strength.¡±


    Such strength, after some more years of concealed cultivation, reaching the semi-divine limit was very normal.


    Semi-Divine Limit represented the theoretical limit a normal semi-divine could achieve.


    And so-called ¡®Invincible Semi-Divine,¡¯ actually represents the combat power reaching a Pseudo-God threshold, achieving this step often requires very unique reasons and is extremely rare.


    ¡­


    In Feixing, within the gloomy void, two figures were flying at high speed.


    ¡°Teacher, I have fulfilled my mission,¡± Fang Hai said respectfully.


    ¡°Ha ha, good, successfully becoming a Silver Garment Member,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Very good, you are the second Silver Garment Member in the history of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Fang Hai listened.


    Previously, he had ventured several times into the Nine Leaves World, only completing the San Ye Trial, Wu Ye Trial, and Qi Ye Trial, although he gained many benefits¡­ he had never touched the real secrets of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    Until this time, he finally succeeded in completing the Nine Leaves Trial, understanding the real secrets of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    He knew very well that before him, many semi-divines like Lant Semi-Divine or formidable Flying Heaven Warriors had entered Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡­ but none had completed the Nine Leaves Trial.


    Let alone the higher-level Nine Mountains Trial.


    ¡°What did you choose?¡± Dongfang Ji asked, as before, he was limited by a law oath and couldn¡¯t directly mention it, but now both being Silver Garment Members, it wouldn¡¯t count as revealing a secret.


    Fang Hai quickly explained.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded in satisfaction, ¡°With this help, your strength will grow faster than mine, you totally have the hope to awaken to Eight Star Veins as a semi-divine¡­ Once you achieve the Eight Star Veins, you will have the foundation of a Heavenly Divine, if you also pass the Nine Mountains Trial¡­ ha ha, limitless.¡±


    ¡°Teacher, have you not passed the Nine Mountains Trial?¡± Fang Hai asked.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t gone,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°Once you enter the Nine Mountains World, you will understand, whether successful or not, it will be difficult to return for a short time.¡±


    Fang Hai instantly understood.


    Nine Mountains World harbored secrets deeper than those of the Nine Leaves World.


    At the same time, Fang Hai also understood why the teacher kept emphasizing that once he and Li Yuan grew up, he would be able to relax.


    ¡°Now it¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has ascended as Flying Heaven Warrior, already possessing the strength of a semi-god,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°You also ascended semi-divinely and returned, just a few more years of concealed cultivation, and your strength will greatly increase¡­ then, I will be able to go my own way.¡±


    ¡°The teacher sacrificed too much for the entire civilization,¡± Fang Hai exclaimed.


    ¡°Ha ha, a civilization¡¯s rise always needs someone to take the first step,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Being able to see you rise one after another, it was worth my initial choice.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan broke through as Flying Heaven Warrior? How¡¯s the situation?¡± Fang Hai was curious, ¡°Already possessing semi-divine strength so quickly?¡±


    ¡°Stronger than you,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°He broke through with the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, as soon as the breakthrough finished he was level 37.¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins?¡± Fang Hai was surprised.


    ¡­


    ¡°Fang Hai ascended semi-divine.¡±


    ¡°Semi-divine? Fang Hai?¡± This news swept through the entire Seven Star Civilization at an astonishing speed, making various powerhouses feel it deeply, and even quickly making many Foreign Civilizations aware.


    In terms of attention, Fang Hai was not much weaker than Li Yuan. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    For Fang Hai¡¯s ascension to a Semi-Divine, the various sides did not express much astonishment, after all, it had been anticipated¡­ In many speculations by Foreign Civilizations, Fang Hai was already supposed to have ascended to Semi-Divine.


    Such a formidable Flying Heaven Warrior who became a Semi-Divine, was destined to rapidly rise to the Semi-Divine Peak and become another pillar and strong figure of the Seven Star Civilization.


    But soon after, another piece of news truly shook the entire Seven Star Civilization¡ªDongfang Ji announced he would resign from his position as the Grand Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall of the Seven Stars and designated Fang Hai as his successor.


    At the same time, a significant adjustment was to be made in the highest meeting of the Seven Star Alliance, where Dongfang Ji would remain as the Chief Alliance Leader, but for the first time, set up two Vice Alliance Hierarchs¡ªLant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai Semi-Divine.


    Undoubtedly.


    All the Semi-Divines and Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization understood that this marked Fang Hai¡¯s official entry into the highest echelon of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ Both the position of Grand Hall Master and Vice Alliance Hierarch were merely precursors to the final step.


    The successive news prompted many powerhouses within the Seven Star Civilization to make secret speculations.


    At the same time, it also sparked numerous conjectures among various Foreign Civilizations.


    Was Dongfang Ji about to Ascend to God?


    ¡­


    ¡°A few years ago, the principal had just resigned as the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star, and in the blink of an eye, he directly took on the role of the Grand Hall Master of the Seven Stars.¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    Li Yuan was not surprised; strength decided status, and Principal Fang Hai was destined to become one of the upper echelons of Blue Star.


    Moreover,


    For a long time, the Alliance Leader had also been grooming the principal as his successor.


    ¡°However, even taking on the Vice Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°including Lant Semi-Divine as a Vice Alliance Hierarch as well, is probably also a way to silence many of the Semi-Divines within the Alliance¡­ Could it be, is the Alliance Leader truly preparing to leave the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    Li Yuan remembered what the Alliance Leader had said a few years ago.


    Between the lines, it revealed his intention to leave.


    ¡°Enough.¡±


    ¡°Regardless, making oneself more powerful is the right path,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    ¡­


    Fang Hai¡¯s grand celebration of his Semi-Divine achievement took place on FeiXing, yet Li Yuan did not participate directly.


    But he did meet Fang Hai privately.


    ¡­


    After Fang Hai¡¯s Semi-Divine celebration,


    the entire Seven Star Civilization continued as usual in peace, with the Semi-Divines guarding each of the Great Planets, ensuring the overall stability of the civilization, while also striving hard in their cultivation, yearning to advance further.


    The Flying Heaven Warriors and Prime Warriors were either diligently cultivating or venturing to various Star Realms for adventures.


    Li Yuan was still discreetly engaging in concealed cultivation in the Seven Star Mountain.


    Despite rumors about why he had not yet broken through to ¡°Flying Heaven,¡± the controversy was not significant, as he was still quite young compared to most members of the Seven Star Mountain.


    Before you knew it, October of 2052 arrived, a year had passed since Fang Hai¡¯s Semi-Divine celebration.


    One of the Seven Great Planets, Lantie Star.

 Chapter 653: 358: Planetary Crisis! Battle Begins!

    F{h*F5-(LjChapter 358: Planetary Crisis! Battle Begins!


    Cloud Scenery Star Realm was a considerably vast star realm, spanning over 40,000 kilometers in diameter. Although the environment of the star realm was mostly harsh, with frequent natural disasters, it made the propagation of life much more challenging.


    For millennia, the Myriad Demons Civilization had monopolized the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, ensuring its population always remained in the billions.


    The recent cataclysmic changes caught the immediate attention of two demigods stationed in the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, who dispatched their subordinates to rapidly confirm the emergence of a third-level passage.


    ¡°A new third-level passage?¡±


    ¡°Does it lead to the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Quick! Report to the Eastern Demon Deity.¡± The two demigods made their decision promptly, ¡°This might be our opportunity.¡±


    ...


    As demigods, they existed above all in the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, deciding on matters big and small with considerable ease and freedom.


    However, being confined to the small star realm for so long, they too harbored a desire¡ªto ascend to godhood.


    Once they became divine, they could leave the star realm behind and roam the celestial star realms, truly free.


    Inside the main hall of the main city in the star realm,


    Hum~ Countless lights converged, creating a phantom emanating a powerful aura.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°We pay our respects, Divine.¡± The two demigods bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Tassi, Florence.¡± The Eastern Demon Deity looked at the two demigods. ¡°I have read through all the messages you reported. You have done very well and have complete control over the star realm, discovering this star realm channel at the earliest.¡±


    ¡°Divine, this is our duty.¡± The purple-garmented youth, ¡®Tassi Demigod¡¯, said modestly. ¡°My Myriad Demons Civilization has controlled this star realm for thousands of years, having permeated the surveillance system into every corner, discovering this at first sight is only proper.¡±


    ¡°The true rise of the Seven Star Civilization has been recently, in the last hundred years. They value Heavenly Sea Star, Blue Star¡­ but they seem to care little for Lantie Star,¡± stated Demigod Tassi. ¡°At least for now, I have already dispatched over ten Flying Heaven near the star realm channel, and so far, no strong members of the Seven Star Civilization have appeared.¡±


    ¡°It seems that the Seven Star Civilization has not yet noticed the new star realm channel.¡±


    ¡°Yes, the Seven Star Civilization has yet to birth a divine, never fused with the plane¡¯s origin; their surveillance is indeed much weaker,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity nodded slightly. ¡°But ultimately, this is their planet; they will certainly notice if we wait too long.¡±


    ¡°So, we must act quickly.¡±


    Both Demigod Tassi and Demigod Florence listened respectfully.


    ¡°My Myriad Demons Civilization aims to completely invade and occupy the Seven Star Civilization, partly by slaying their top warriors,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity told the two demigods. ¡°On the other hand, we need to continuously weaken their potential and sever their roots.¡±


    ¡°This time, it is an opportunity, with the hope of completely obliterating the entire Lantie Star.¡±


    The two demigods were startled.


    Destroy an entire planet?


    ¡°Divine,¡± said the white-garbed Demigod Florence, unable to hold back. ¡°Lantie Star, although not highly regarded in the Seven Star Civilization, is still guarded by a demigod¡­ This is just a third-level channel, allowing only Flying Heaven Realm to pass, how do we obliterate a planet?¡±


    There was no one in the entire Myriad Demons Civilization at the Flying Heaven Realm that could match a demigod, not even the few Flying Heaven close to demigod strength.


    It could be said,


    A planet guarded by a demigod, no matter how many Flying Heaven Warriors arrive, can only cause some destruction but can hardly shake the overall situation.


    ¡°I will dispatch three Flying Heaven Demon children from the Myriad Demons Hall,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated directly. ¡°I have already urgently called for them.¡±


    Flying Heaven Demon children?


    Both demigods were startled again.


    Every civilization has a system for selecting geniuses, and the Myriad Demons Civilization was no exception. As a powerful civilization with long-standing heritage and dozens of life planets, coupled with the Universal Cultivation Methods created over the eons, covering most races and beings¡­ this had led to an astonishing number of Prime Warriors and Flying Heaven Warriors born in the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Dozens of times those in the Seven Star Civilization.


    The number of demigod warriors was also more than ten times greater than that of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ While the top geniuses were far from the likes Fang Hai and Li Yuan,


    The number of second-tier geniuses was very high.


    The so-called Flying Heaven Demon children were Flying Heaven Warriors whose comprehension of True Intent had reached the Semi Divine Level, or who had even stepped into the Threshold of the Law.


    They represented the absolute elite among Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization, indicating they could break through to demigod at any moment.


    The reason they hadn¡¯t advanced yet was mostly in pursuit of awakening stronger Star Meridians and building a more solid foundation.


    ¡°The three Flying Heaven Demon children, once they arrive on Lantie Star, will break through nearby,¡± stated the Eastern Demon Deity earnestly.


    The two demigods nodded, also sensing the determination of the Eastern Demon Deity.


    It¡¯s challenging to convince warriors of this level to go to the Seven Star Civilization, essentially to their demise.


    Correct.


    In the eyes of Demigod Tassi and Demigod Florence, this was akin to sending them to their death¡­ with Dongfang Ji present, despite potential significant impacts on the Seven Star Civilization in the short term, the future was uncertain.


    ¡°Additionally, I will also summon a large number of Flying Heaven Realm warriors, quickly arriving along the star realm channel,¡± continued the Eastern Demon Deity. ¡°But all this requires time; hence, I need you to dispatch your subordinates, sending over 200 Flying Heaven Warriors first to infiltrate Lantie Star and gather information.¡±


    ¡°Prepare for a great war.¡±


    200 Flying Heaven Realm?


    The two demigods were startled again; how many Flying Heaven Warriors were there in the entire star realm?


    It¡¯s known that the latent life potential born in a star realm is far inferior to that of a planetary life, and the number of rising Flying Heaven Realms is also far less. Moreover, most Flying Heaven Realms leave the star realm to live on the planets of the Myriad Demons Civilization, receiving nurturing and tempering.

    Chapter 654: Chapter 358: Planetary Crisis! To Battle!_2


    ¡°Tassi, Florence, you too will receive merit rewards,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity intoned, ¡°In the future, should we occupy the Seven Star Civilization and obtain the treasures of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain¡­ your hopes to Ascend to God will also greatly increase.¡±


    For these Star Realm demigods, the Eastern Demon Deity found it difficult to directly threaten or command them; mostly, he resorted to bribing them.


    After thinking it over, the two demigods chose to agree, ¡°We obey the Divine command.¡±


    Soon,


    the entire war machine of the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, silent for so long, began to mobilize swiftly.


    ¡­


    ...


    In the Myriad Demons Civilization, on a Wan Mo star, within a world quite strange, the entire world was extremely dim.


    Inside one of the temples,


    ¡°Pu Yang, Suhaer, Sang Qiu.¡± The Phantom summoned by the Eastern Demon Deity loomed over the three before it, speaking slowly, ¡°The tasks and requirements have all been laid out to you.¡±


    ¡°Now, our entire civilization needs your sacrifice, to go and destroy the ¡®Lantie Star¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°As long as you agree, I will gift you many treasures, Divine Artifacts.¡±


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°Does Lantie Star¡¯s demigod not have a Semi-Divine Peak presence?¡± the bald man named Pu Yang spoke in a deep voice, ¡°If there is a Semi-Divine Peak presence, even if we break through to become Semi-Divine and wield Divine Artifacts, we don¡¯t stand a chance.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured.¡±


    ¡°How long has the Seven Star Civilization risen?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said with a smile, ¡°Their entire civilization¡¯s demigods aren¡¯t more than a hundred years old, most have practiced for just a hundred or two hundred years¡­ Semi-Divine Peak Experts would definitely not exceed ten.¡±


    ¡°As for Lantie Star, it¡¯s the least regarded planet, the probability of having a Semi-Divine Peak Expert stationed there is close to zero,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated.


    Three Flying Heaven Demons felt somewhat relieved in their hearts but were still filled with worry.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has not yet born a True God, and their star passages are not fully open, so, they will only allow Flying Heaven Warriors to pass through the star passages swiftly, those powerful demigods¡­ it will take them a long time to come over here,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°Before, the Seven Star Civilization had a Fang Hai, who was only in the Flying Heaven Realm, able to rush over quickly, you definitely would not be his match, but now he has broken through to Semi-Divine, and moreover, he broke through on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°The current Seven Star Civilization doesn¡¯t have too many strong Flying Heaven Warriors,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated.


    ¡°What about Li Yuan?¡± unable to hold back, the woman named Sang Qiu asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t there a rumor that he has become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    ¡°Even if he has become Flying Heaven, how long has it been since his campaign in the Second Level Star Realm? His Origin Power hasn¡¯t even reached the Peak,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°And no matter how fast he progresses in understanding heaven and earth, in such a short time, he probably hasn¡¯t even reached the Law Level.¡±


    ¡°As long as you become Semi-Divine, he will definitely not be a match for you,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stated.


    The three Flying Heaven Demons nodded in agreement.


    Li Yuan¡¯s talent was indeed monstrous, but he was too young; even if he broke through, his strength probably still fell far short of the Semi Divine Level.


    ¡°Strike quickly and decisively, exterminate all life on the entire planet.¡±


    ¡°Once your mission is accomplished,¡±


    ¡°leave the planet swiftly, fly out into the heavens, whether to wander the starry sky or to hide on some desolate planets, it¡¯s not difficult,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    The three Flying Heaven Demons listened.


    As demigods, powerful in strength, they could travel the starry sky with their physical bodies alone, living in the starry sky on their own was quite easy.


    Just that, it was too lonely.


    ¡°When in the future my Myriad Demons Civilization occupies the Seven Star Civilization, you naturally can return,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, looking down at the three, ¡°The entire civilization will not forget your contributions and will certainly treat your families and friends well.¡±


    This was coercion following the lure.


    ¡°We obey the Divine command.¡±


    ¡°We will put forth our utmost effort, to slaughter the entire planet,¡± Pu Yang and the other three Flying Heaven Demons bowed their heads completely.


    Quickly,


    they took the treasures given to them by the Eastern Demon Deity from the Wan Mo star and rushed towards the Cloud Scenery Star Realm.


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall,


    ¡°The three Flying Heaven Demons will surely become Semi-Divine,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity thought to himself, ¡°More than three thousand in the Flying Heaven Realm¡­ given such life-and-death pressure, perhaps we can also see the birth of a few demigods.¡±


    ¡°They should be able to obliterate the entire Lantie Star.¡±


    Since the battle of Feixing a hundred years ago, the Eastern Demon Deity had given up the expectation of annihilating the entire Seven Star Civilization in one battle¡­ he could only hope to continuously weaken the potential of the Seven Star Civilization and slow the speed of their rise.


    ¡°The entire Seven Star Civilization, after all, only has seven major planets.¡±


    ¡°To slaughter all life on an entire planet may allow for recovery in the future¡­ but it would take at least several decades, or even longer,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity thought to himself.


    Time passed.


    Numerous Flying Heaven Warriors in the Myriad Demons Civilization were being mobilized, naturally attracting the notice of many Foreign Civilizations¡­ but only very few powerful individuals truly knew about the appearance of the Star Realm Passage.


    For instance, some of the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, two demigods, the three demons.


    Others? Hardly knew anything.


    Even most of the called upon Flying Heaven Warriors only knew that they were going to wage a war; as for who the specific target was? The destination? They had no idea.


    Therefore, although the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s intelligence system received news of the mobilization of powerful individuals from the Myriad Demons Civilization, it did not raise sufficient alarm.


    ¡­


    Several days later.


    On Feixing, in the palace of Li Yuan in the Martial Divine Star Realm, an intelligent robot was brewing tea.


    Li Yuan was entertaining good friends.


    ¡°Senior Brother Jin, congratulations on becoming a member of the Seven Star Mountain,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve been in seclusion cultivating and couldn¡¯t congratulate you right away.¡±


    ¡°Your cultivation is imperative, it¡¯s enough that other people have congratulated me, you don¡¯t need to jest,¡± Jin Huguo shook his head and chuckled, ¡°Not to mention comparing to you, even compared to Alicia and the others, I am far from their equal.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not the Senior Brother Jin I know,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Why bother about others, just follow your own path.¡±

    Chapter 655: Chapter 358: Planetary Crisis! To Battle!_3


    Jin Huguo, now 28 years old, had managed to reach Fifth Stage Perfection and become a member of the Seven Star Mountain, which was already quite impressive, surpassing the average level of the members of the Martial Divine Hall.


    It should be noted that when Jin Huguo first entered the Martial Divine Hall, his talents and potential were considered below average.


    One could imagine how hard Jin Huguo must have trained over the years. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Not long after.


    Li Yuan saw Jin Huguo off and continued to sit alone, sipping tea, but in secret, he was continuously observing the ¡°Stellar Transformations Map,¡± comprehending the mysteries within.


    Even though his True Intent Comprehension had reached Sixth Stage Perfection, Li Yuan still felt that the Stellar Transformations Map was filled with profound secrets.


    ...


    The creator of this map was at a realm far beyond Li Yuan¡¯s own.


    ¡°It¡¯s really difficult to step into the Threshold of the Law,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°In this year and more since becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, I¡¯ve made more progress in the True Meaning of Wind and the True Meaning of Earth than in many years of cultivation before¡­ yet I still haven¡¯t been able to step into the Law Level in either one.¡±


    Of course.


    By now, Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of both the True Meaning of Wind and the True Meaning of Earth had reached Sixth Stage Perfection, and he was nearing the limit of the Sixth Stage¡­ The might of the fusion of True Intents made his Spear Technique much more powerful than it was over a year ago.


    ¡°Once the True Meaning of Earth transforms into the Law Level, I think there will be hope for me to comprehend the second or even the third stance of the Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    The ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± as an ultimate skill bestowed by a True God, consisted of nine stances, each with a significant increase in might.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The smart ring vibrated intensely, causing Li Yuan¡¯s expression to change. Was it an emergency?


    With a thought, he immediately activated it.


    Whoosh~


    A beam of light converged, quickly forming a miniature projection, with a figure in a black garment appearing on it.


    ¡°Principal?¡± said Li Yuan, recognizing the caller as Fang Hai.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Lantie Star is facing a planetary crisis,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly. ¡°The situation is extremely urgent; we may need your help.¡±


    ¡°A planetary crisis?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    To be described as a planetary crisis meant that there must be an enormous danger threatening the very existence of the entire planet.


    What could it be?


    ¡°Deploy immediately and head to the entrance of the Sixth Star Realm with Duanmu Hong,¡± Fang Hai said grimly. ¡°I will send you the details shortly.¡±


    ¡°One thing you must be aware of, try to conceal your aura as much as possible and let everyone think that you¡¯ve just recently broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ This is very important.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan thought, his mind racing.


    With a thought, Li Yuan, carrying the Ancient Divine Palace and Heavenly Snake Hall Cave Heaven Treasures, had already flown out of the palace mansion.


    ¡­


    He quickly arrived in the high skies above Seven Star Mountain.


    Several Flying Heaven Warriors were waiting there, with a figure clad in a white garment, Duanmu Hong, leading them.


    Aside from him, there were several Flying Heaven Warriors, all of whom were the Flying Heaven Peak Experts who had always been stationed in the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Duanmu.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, have you arrived?¡± Duanmu Hong nodded. ¡°Congratulations on finally breaking through to become a Flying Heaven. Are you also joining the battle?¡±


    Evidently, Duanmu Hong had received the message and was prepared to play along with Li Yuan¡¯s ¡®act¡¯.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve just recently broken through,¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°With the planet in crisis and no other duties, I naturally have to join the battle.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has become a Flying Heaven?¡±


    ¡°Congratulations.¡± The other Flying Heaven Peak Warriors were somewhat surprised but not excessively shocked.


    In their eyes, given Li Yuan¡¯s strength, a breakthrough was to be expected.


    ¡°I sense that Li Yuan¡¯s aura is at level 33,¡± said a man in a golden garment, quite excited. ¡°Before the breakthrough, Li Yuan already had the combat power of a Star Master; now, his strength is probably almost at the level of a Demigod¡­ definitely a significant reinforcement.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my part,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Duanmu Hong said. ¡°We can talk more on the way.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! A group of Flying Heaven Warriors, turning into streaks of light, quickly headed toward the entrance of the Star Realm.

 Chapter 656: 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter

    Chapter 656: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter


    ¡°Seven Star Civilization, the earliest Six Grand Star Realms, evolved from the Star Bridges and they serve as the conduits connecting Feixing and the other six major planets, thus named from ¡®First Star Lord¡¯ to ¡®Sixth Star Realm.''¡±


    ¡°For example, the Star Realm Passage between Blue Star and Feixing is the Third Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The passage between Lantie Star and Feixing, on the other hand, is the Sixth Star Realm.¡±


    When Li Yuan and Duanmu Hong and others rushed to the Sixth Star Realm.


    Feixing, in the deepest part of a special building within the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    Hum~


    ...


    A mass of light appeared out of thin air, converged, and formed a phantom of Li Yuan.


    This was the projection of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense.


    After undergoing a Soul Metamorphosis to the Semi Divine Level, one could leave behind Spiritual Imprints that, when not activated, consumed very little Spiritual Mark and could be maintained for a long time, facilitating critical moments of contact.


    The last time Li Yuan met with Fang Hai, he left a Divine Sense Imprint at both the Starfire Martial Hall and the Seven Stars Temple Headquarters.


    This wasn¡¯t any secret; many demigods were aware of it.


    After all, his transformation into a Demigod was a public matter, and the Foreign Civilizations knew it as well.


    ¡°President,¡± Li Yuan looked towards Fang Hai not far away.


    The entire hall was empty except for Fang Hai and an old man in white robes, ¡®Master Yun.¡¯


    Of course, Master Yun was also just a phantom.


    ¡°You should already have some initial understanding of the situation,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°On Lantie Star, that additional Star Realm Passage is a Third Level passage to the Cloud Scenery Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°The Cloud Scenery Star Realm is absolutely controlled by the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Our control over Lantie Star is very weak, and we did not expect a Third Level Star Realm Passage to appear directly,¡± Fang Hai sighed, ¡°Moreover, the location of the passage entrance is extremely secret.¡±


    Li Yuan listened quietly. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just moments before, in the space of a few breaths, he had already skimmed through the data sent by Fang Hai.


    Lantie Star had plunged into war, with hordes of Flying Heaven Aliens launching comprehensive attacks from various parts of the ocean towards the cities on land¡­ and now, the known forces of the Myriad Demons Civilization have already sent over a thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Realm level.


    Of course, there were also over a thousand Flying Heaven Warriors stationed on Lantie Star, resisting with all their might.


    ¡°Come and have a look,¡± Fang Hai pointed nearby.


    Swish~ A multitude of light and shadows converged, forming the virtual images of three incredibly large planets that were all flashing with light, seemingly observed from an extremely high dimension.


    ¡°Is this Blue Star? Feixing?¡± Li Yuan recognized two of the planets at a glance.


    He was very familiar with these two planets.


    ¡°Yes, the other planet is Heavenly Sea Star,¡± Fang Hai said gravely, ¡°According to the Alliance Hierarch, you should have some knowledge of the planetary defense systems¡­ Feixing, Blue Star, and Heavenly Sea Star all have planetary defense systems and are absolutely impregnable.¡±


    ¡°These three planets are the most important.¡±


    ¡°These planetary defense systems were brought here by your teacher,¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°But the other four planets¡­ do not have such complete planetary defense systems.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood.


    He had found it strange before; based on Gu You¡¯s feedback from his infiltration of Blue Star, such a large-scale attack should have been detected in advance¡­ this was the reason.


    ¡°What about the Demigods?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°What about the Demigods on Lantie Star?¡±


    Fang Hai looked towards Master Yun.


    ¡°The Demigods of my Seven Star Civilization total just over sixty, most of whom are stationed at various Third Level Star Realms,¡± Master Yun slowly said, ¡°For instance, nearly thirty Demigods are stationed on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Eleven Demigods are stationed on Heavenly Sea Star.¡±


    ¡°Seven Demigods are stationed on Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°And a few other Demigods are in several other important Third Level Star Realms,¡± Master Yun said solemnly, ¡°These Demigods cannot be easily moved¡­ There are four Demigods stationed on Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°Now, two of those Demigods are guarding a former Third Level Star Realm entrance on Lantie Star; he cannot be moved.¡±


    ¡°The other two have already rushed to the entrance of the Cloud Scenery Star Realm, which is too large a passage, spanning three hundred kilometers¡­ Only by the joint efforts of two Demigods can it be barely sealed off, to defend the passage and prevent the Myriad Demons Civilization from sending more Flying Heaven Realm forces.¡±


    Li Yuan came to a realization.


    So to speak, on Lantie Star, is there only one Demigod who can move freely?


    No wonder the situation was so dire.


    ¡°The Star Realm Passages within the Plane are all Third Level,¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°So, Demigods from other planets who want to rush over can only travel through the starry sky on warships.¡±


    ¡°Too slow,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    The distance between different planets ranged from tens of millions of kilometers at the shortest and several hundred million kilometers at the longest¡­ Traveling through the starry sky in a Fourth Rank Battleship would take at least a few months or even years to arrive.


    By the time the Demigods from other planets arrived, the entire planet would have been decimated.


    The vast distances between different planets ensure that when one is subject to a destructive blow, others can remain safe, with a substantial buffer of time.


    For example, the Great Extinction on Feixing did not affect the other planets, saving the Seven Star Civilization.


    Every benefit has its drawback.


    Similarly, when a planet is faced with disaster, it is very difficult for the Demigods from other planets to come to the rescue.


    ¡°If it were just the current situation, we would not be too anxious,¡± Fang Hai said solemnly, ¡°What worries me is that among the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven Realm forces that invaded Lantie Star, there might be Heavenly Demon Children.¡±


    Heavenly Demon Children? Li Yuan¡¯s expression turned solemn.


    He had communicated with Xue Yan and, including reading various documents, naturally knew the basic system of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°President, are you worried that a Demigod of the Myriad Demons Civilization will soon be born on Lantie Star?¡± Li Yuan said gravely.


    ¡°Indeed,¡± Fang Hai nodded, ¡°If it were just Flying Heaven Realm warriors, let alone a thousand, even three thousand or five thousand¡­ as long as we block the Star Realm entrance, they will eventually be eliminated by us.¡±

 Chapter 657: 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 2

    Chapter 657: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 2


    ¡°After all, although the demigods from other planets can¡¯t arrive swiftly, the Flying Heaven Warriors can still reach quickly,¡± they¡¯ve already mobilized more than five thousand Flying Heaven Warriors from various major planets.¡±


    ¡°They will all arrive at Lantie Star within a day to join the battle.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with a shock in his heart.


    More than five thousand Flying Heaven Warriors? How many Flying Heaven Warriors does the entire Seven Star Civilization have in total?


    This time, to save Lantie Star, the Seven Star Civilization is indeed going all out.


    ¡°But the true deciding factor of victory or defeat still lies in the clash at the Demigod level,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°As of now, within our civilization, the only Demigod-level force that can rush to the support is you.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Also, your Soul Attack is very effective in slaughtering those Flying Heaven Warriors, and you slaughter at a rate far surpassing other demigods.¡±


    Li Yuan was all ears.


    Regarding Soul Attacks, currently in the Seven Star Civilization, he was probably able to rank within the top three.


    Even the principal might not match up to him in terms of Soul Attack.


    ¡°The most important thing¡ª¡±


    ¡°In the Myriad Demons Civilization, if there are hidden Flying Heaven Demon Offspring, they are undoubtedly undergoing concealed cultivation right now, striving to nurture their souls to the Semi-Divine Level and cultivate their Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank before they make a move,¡± said Fang Hai, ¡°So, I need you to lure them out in advance.¡±


    ¡°Lure them?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, recalling the principal¡¯s previous order.


    He was told not to reveal his true level.


    ¡°The secret technique that I have cultivated conceals my aura so that even a Flying Heaven Star Lord can only vaguely sense that I am in the Flying Heaven realm,¡± said Li Yuan, ¡°but they can¡¯t confirm my true Life Level¡­ Pretending to be just a Level 33 in breakthrough isn¡¯t hard.¡±


    It is extremely difficult to completely conceal one¡¯s aura in front of other strong individuals.


    Every expert has an incredibly keen Divine Sense.


    For instance, Li Yuan pretending to be an ordinary person in front of other Flying Heaven Star Lords? Impossible.


    To completely conceal one¡¯s aura, one must cultivate some terrifying aura-concealing Star Techniques, thus changing the superficial aura of life.


    Only some heaven-defying assassins could do such a thing.


    Li Yuan¡¯s realm was profound, his soul powerful, but he had not cultivated such Star Techniques.


    To conceal one¡¯s life aura in front of other individuals in the Flying Heaven Realm was already quite rare.


    ¡°Level 33? Just perfect.¡±


    Fang Hai nodded solemnly, ¡°Even if the Myriad Demons Civilization sends Flying Heaven Demon Offspring, the number should not be too many, at most five¡­ If we let them smoothly become demigods and remain hidden within our Seven Star Civilization, the threat would be too great.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    A little thought was enough to understand.


    If a hostile demigod was born within Star Realm, it would just mean the loss of a single Star Realm, after all, hostile demigods can¡¯t come out¡­ but if there were hostile demigods within the civilized Starry Sky, this demigod, given ample time, could launch attacks on various planets, virtually indefensible.


    Therefore, they must be eradicated as much as possible!


    ¡°Do you have confidence?¡± Fang Hai asked Li Yuan, ¡°I want you to join the battle, but first and foremost, your safety must be assured.¡± S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, principal,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°back then, the principal slew a demigod in Wanhan Star Realm, shaking the Foreign Domain.¡±


    ¡°I have always aimed to emulate the principal.¡±


    ¡°This time, I shall follow suit,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Concealing myself for so long, isn¡¯t it just so the enemy can¡¯t guess my strength, and I can strike at the critical moment?¡±


    ¡°This time, it is the critical moment,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Good,¡± Fang Hai nodded, ¡°I have already transmitted all the data of the entire civilization¡¯s demigods to you.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded, and then his Divine Sense avatar dissipated.


    Inside the hall.


    ¡°There are no semi-divine peak experts on Lantie Star,¡± Fang Hai said in a low tone, ¡°It¡¯s unclear whether this planetary crisis can be resolved smoothly this time.¡±


    ¡°Since it¡¯s war, where there is victory, there must be defeat,¡± Yun Lao said indifferently from the side, ¡°Years ago, you swept through Wanhan Star Realm¡­ but a few months ago, the enemy counterattacked, and we too suffered heavy casualties.¡±


    ¡°Last year, in the great battle of the Penglai Star Realm at Blue Star, our whole army was annihilated, and we completely withdrew from the Penglai Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Four years ago in the Demon Mountain Star Realm battle, Ansel the demigod fell,¡± Yun Lao shook his head, ¡°In war, who always wins?¡±


    ¡°We can only do our utmost.¡±


    Fang Hai nodded slightly.


    The Seven Star Civilization erupts into war year after year, with varying scales; the larger ones include battles like those of Wanhan Star Realm, Penglai Star Realm, Ming Xu Star Realm¡­ but even if these major battles were lost, they wouldn¡¯t affect the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Even for him and Li Yuan, who seemed to be dazzling every step of the way, they were just participating in a small portion of the major battles at different levels of power.


    Like the Demon Mountain Star Realm battle, the Seven Star Civilization had more than ten demigods participating, and in the end, even demigods fell¡­ at the time, Li Yuan was in concealed cultivation, Fang Hai was adventuring in the Nine Leaves World.


    They were not qualified to participate in the battle.


    This crisis at Lantie Star is just one of the major crises the Seven Star Civilization has encountered in recent decades.


    ¡°If the situation is critical¡ª¡±


    ¡°We will have to invest more resources afterwards to quell this turbulence,¡± Fang Hai said, shaking his head, ¡°for now, we need to send three more demigods to guard Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°The number of demigods within our civilization is too few,¡± Fang Hai shook his head.


    Serving as the Grand Hall Master and Vice Alliance Hierarch for only a year, Fang Hai had felt the difficulties his teacher faced before.


    Bearing the heavy responsibility of a civilization, coordinating the mobilization of various resources, coordinating many powerful figures.


    It¡¯s not like his word alone would command absolute obedience from other demigods¡­ it all requires negotiation.


    The resources of the entire civilization are limited.


    For instance, any Third Level Star Realm must have a demigod to guard the entry points to prevent any mishaps, which consequently means there are very few demigods left to maneuver.


    ¡°I wonder how the teacher is doing,¡± Fang Hai thought to himself.


    Currently, Dongfang Ji is not within the Seven Star Civilization, but aside from Fang Hai and Yun Lao, temporarily no one knows.

 Chapter 658: 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 3

    Chapter 658: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 3


    In the void of Feixing, a group of Flying Heaven Warriors were sitting on a warship, speeding forward.


    Occasionally, other Flying Heaven Warriors from different areas of Feixing would board the ship.


    ¡°Li Yuan? Is this Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Level 33!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s improving really fast, Li Yuan¡¯s power must be terrifying by now.¡± Each Flying Heaven Warrior, upon first seeing Li Yuan, would be surprised, and then offer congratulations.


    ¡°I¡¯ve also just broken through not long ago.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Planetary crisis, cannot shirk responsibility.¡± Li Yuan had this set of responses.


    As time passed, the number of Flying Heaven Warriors on the warship had surpassed a hundred.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors couldn¡¯t help but pass this news on to their friends.


    Gradually, the news of Li Yuan breaking into Flying Heaven and reaching level 33 was spreading among the high-level experts of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Inside the warship.


    After greeting everyone, Li Yuan sat quietly in his chair, silently taking a breath.


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization has 68 demigods? There are 5 Alien Race Demigod Guest Elders?¡± Li Yuan sighed silently as he reviewed all the demi-god intelligence passed on by the president, ¡°All these Alien Race Demigod Guest Elders, are they staying on Feixing?¡±


    ¡°68 demigods, and only five Semi-Divine Peak Experts?¡± Li Yuan felt the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders.


    Dongfang Ji, Lant Semi-Divine, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, Xin Yu Semi-Divine, Fang Hai Semi-Divine. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    That is to say, before Fang Hai broke through, the Seven Star Civilization had only produced four Semi-Divine Peak Experts.


    Perhaps some demigods have hidden their true strength, but at least in the publicly available intelligence, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s top combat power is just that much.


    ¡°According to intelligence, the Myriad Demons Civilization has thousands of demigods? With about a hundred Semi-Divine Peak Experts?¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    No wonder the Myriad Demons Civilization could produce divines generation after generation, with such a huge base, the hopes of producing a divine is much greater.


    Compared to the Myriad Demons Civilization, the high-level combat power of the Seven Star Civilization is indeed too weak.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization is already like this, what about the even more powerful Immortal Ruins Civilization?


    In this moment.


    Li Yuan fully understood the significance of the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji to the entire civilization¡­ If it weren¡¯t for his divine prowess displayed in the war over Feixing more than a hundred years ago, the Seven Star Civilization would have been extinct long ago.


    ¡°Time!¡±


    ¡°My Seven Star Civilization¡¯s rise has been too brief, the oldest demigod is only three to four hundred years old, and they are all still growing rapidly.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Given enough time, many more demigods and Semi-Divine Peak Experts could be born.¡±


    ¡°The four demigods of Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°Only one is at the Semi-Divine Middle Stage, the other three are all at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were full of fighting spirit: ¡°Now, I¡¯m not even qualified to participate in wars of First Level Star Realm and Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°But within the scope of what I can do, I must give it my all.¡±


    ¡­


    The warship was very fast.


    Six hours later, the warship had already carried over a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors, cutting straight through the Sixth Star Realm and entering Lantie Star.


    This was a super-large city, inhabited by tens of millions of people.


    Being the Star Realm Passage between planets, naturally a large population would converge at the entry and exit points, forming a city.


    This city, which was also an important location on Lantie Star, was now filled with countless people continuously flowing into the Sixth Star Realm along the Star Realm Passage.


    Even visible to the naked eye, more flying vessels were rushing in from the ends of the sky.


    A chaotic scene.


    ¡°The news has spread, this kind of planetary crisis.¡±


    ¡°The range of a Flying Heaven level combat is too large; many cities will be destroyed.¡±


    ¡°The death toll has already reached hundreds of millions.¡±


    ¡°No one knows how long the great war will last.¡± A nearby Flying Heaven Warrior spoke somberly: ¡°There¡¯s too little time, the alliance has limited power, and for now, only some elites can be arranged to evacuate to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°But among the countless ordinary people on Lantie Star, anyone with some ability is also desperately trying to escape, trying to leave this planet.¡± Another Flying Heaven Warrior also sighed.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense was powerful. With a mere thought, he could sense the panic and unease on the faces of countless ordinary people below in the city.


    The war had come too unexpectedly.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization was not prepared.


    ¡°Compared to such a planetary crisis, the Fish Spirit Tide is just child¡¯s play.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly, his heart heavy.


    Previously, the wars of the Star Realm were mostly fought by martial artists and didn¡¯t much concern ordinary people.


    This time, it was a direct threat to the homeland of the civilization.


    ¡°Back then, the great extinction on Feixing nearly wiped out the entire planet; it was much more tragic than today¡¯s Lantie Star,¡± Li Yuan felt an intense sense of crisis.


    Scenes once seen in textbooks were now becoming reality.


    Today it is Lantie Star, in the future, could it be Blue Star?


    ¡°Never.¡± Li Yuan silently pledged, his eyes filled with a terrible resolve.


    ¡­The warship hovered over the city.


    ¡°Gentlemen.¡±


    Duanmu Hong spoke solemnly: ¡°Your information has all been entered into the ¡®Star System¡¯. Through global positioning, you can check the location of all our powerful ones.¡±


    ¡°White represents Flying Heaven Initial Stage power.¡±


    ¡°Red represents Flying Heaven Middle Stage power.¡±


    ¡°Black represents level 35 Flying Heaven power.¡± Duanmu Hong¡¯s gaze swept over all the experts: ¡°Purple represents the power of a Flying Heaven Star Lord.¡±


    ¡°Gold represents demigod power.¡±


    ¡°But everyone¡¯s access is different; black members and below are not able to see the whereabouts of Flying Heaven Star Lords and demigods, to prevent leaks,¡± Duanmu Hong continued: ¡°Also, you can only view the positions of the powerful within your own patrol areas.¡±


    Everyone listened in silence.


    In such a planetary war with thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors participating, it was very likely that there would be one or two Alien Race spies.


    Therefore, certain anti-leak measures were necessary.

    Chapter 659: Chapter 359: The Demigods of Civilization! Slaughter Part 4


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warriors are indeed numerous,¡± Li Yuan looked down at his smart ring display, which showed purple.


    At the same time, with Li Yuan¡¯s authority, he could accurately locate every Flying Heaven Warrior on the planet.


    This included the position of the four Demigods, all of which could be viewed.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s mission has been issued, act on your own,¡± Duanmu Hong spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Remember, if you encounter an enemy too strong to handle, immediately run for your life and call for help. There is no need to fight to the end.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Boom¡ª The hatch opened, and hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors quickly departed, forming teams and heading towards their target areas.


    Inside the warship, only Li Yuan and Duanmu Hong were left.


    ¡°My mission is to patrol the Yuan Lian Province,¡± Duanmu Hong looked at Li Yuan, ¡°And you?¡±


    ¡°Free action,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Free action?¡± Duanmu Hong was taken aback, and then he understood, ¡°I see¡­ you and Demigod Mu Ji are the same, patrolling the entire globe.¡±


    Thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors had various missions: some were stationed, some patrolled, and some were on inquiry missions.


    But there was only one goal¡ªto slaughter all the Flying Heaven Realm of the Myriad Demons Civilization!


    Similarly, the stronger one was, the larger the area they were usually responsible for.


    Demigod level meant global responsibility. Any trouble the Flying Heaven Star Masters couldn¡¯t handle would be handed over to the Demigods.


    Very soon,


    Li Yuan flew out of the warship, light twisted around him, and he quickly vanished into the sky.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength should have reached the Semi-Divine Level,¡± Duanmu Hong thought to himself, ¡°One more Demigod level being will greatly reduce our losses.¡±


    Swoosh!


    Duanmu Hong piloted the warship and quickly left as well.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Xiao Bing, I hope you can help me this time,¡± Li Yuan spoke with the Green Snake coiling around his arm.


    ¡°Big brother¡¯s homeland is my homeland,¡± Liu Bing said solemnly, ¡°What would you like me to do?¡±


    Liu Bing agreed to Li Yuan¡¯s request without hesitation.


    ¡°Let¡¯s split into two groups and gradually explore the continents of the Western Hemisphere,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Eliminate all Flying Heaven Aliens we encounter along the way.¡±


    ¡°With your strength, you should not encounter too much trouble.¡±


    Over a year had passed, and Liu Bing had cultivated to level 36. Her combat strength head-on was terrifying.


    Moreover, her speed was astonishing. Even most Semi-Divine Peak Experts were not as fast as she was.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, big brother, I know what to do,¡± Liu Bing nodded excitedly, ¡°I will try my best to avoid exposing myself. If I conceal my aura, very few of those Flying Heaven Alien Races will even be aware of my existence.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Liu Bing also had a Semi-Divine Level Soul. Although her soul was weaker than his, she was faster in flight¡­ just in terms of exploration speed, she was far superior to him.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Li Yuan and Liu Bing parted ways.


    With their soul connection, they could easily contact each other on the same planet¡­ Li Yuan could also instantly relay the planetary intelligence dynamics to Liu Bing through soul transmission.


    ¡­


    On the other side of the planet, tens of thousands of kilometers away.


    Whoosh!


    A high-speed figure suddenly stopped. With white hair, he was the only Flying Heaven Middle Stage strong individual on Lantie Star, ¡®Demigod Mu Ji¡¯.


    He had been frenziedly exploring.


    ¡°Li Yuan is here?¡± A hint of surprise flickered in Demigod Mu Ji¡¯s eyes, ¡°I¡¯m responsible for the Eastern Hemisphere, and Li Yuan is responsible for the Western Hemisphere?¡±


    He looked at the two messages from Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    ¡°The rumors say Li Yuan is level 33? But according to Fang Hai, Li Yuan already has Semi-Divine Level combat power?¡± Demigod Mu Ji thought to himself.


    ¡°Fang Hai¡¯s words are trustworthy.¡±


    ¡°The search range is halved, which greatly increases the efficiency,¡± mused the Demigod Mu Ji.


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    After breaking through to Flying Heaven, Li Yuan¡¯s current flight speed far surpassed his past, swiftly traveling along the planned inquiry route. At the same time, his Divine Sense spread out, perceiving everything along the way.


    Shuttling back and forth.


    ¡°There are no Flying Heaven Alien Race on the surface of this region,¡± Li Yuan quickly moved on to the next area.


    The higher-ups of the Seven Star Civilization had already made a plan.


    They would first inquire near each of the large cities, then the surface of the continents, followed by deeper continental regions, and finally the sea areas¡­ After all, humans do not live in the seas.


    The main goal was to eliminate threats.


    ¡°This region doesn¡¯t have any either,¡± Li Yuan swiftly swept through another area. With his flight speed and the range of his Divine Sense, his inquiry efficiency could match a large group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°It looks like¡­¡±


    ¡°After the first wave of attacks, the Flying Heaven Alien Race from Myriad Demons Civilization is all hiding,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Are these Flying Heaven Aliens waiting for something?¡±


    Li Yuan had a premonition that the principal¡¯s prediction might be correct.


    ¡­


    ¡°Master,¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve found three Flying Heaven Aliens and killed them directly,¡± Liu Bing transmitted to Li Yuan, ¡°I¡¯m continuing the inquiry.¡±


    ¡°Good, make every effort to conceal your tracks,¡± Li Yuan replied through soul transmission.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan continued his full-powered search, and after rapidly inquiring in several cities, he finally discovered traces.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°The Power of Heaven and Earth is fluctuating, it¡¯s a Flying Heaven lifeform! But it¡¯s not showing on the planetary map, it¡¯s an Alien Race.¡± Li Yuan sensed the subtle fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth hundreds of kilometers away.


    Such fluctuations cannot be sensed by a common Flying Heaven Martial Artist.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s Perception Ability was not inferior to that of a Semi-Divine Peak Expert¡­ He quickly headed there.


    Rumble~


    Li Yuan rapidly broke through the ground, plunging nearly two hundred kilometers deep into the earth in no time.


    Under the envelopment of his Divine Sense.


    ¡°Nest.¡±


    ¡°There are over twenty Flying Heaven Aliens hiding here?¡± Li Yuan confirmed directly.


    In the depths of the earth, there were actually more than twenty Flying Heaven Aliens gathering here.


    They were all humanoid, some with wings, some with four arms, some with scales.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization primarily comprised humanoid warriors, but the races were mixed, with many features of Exotic Beasts.


    ¡°Exterminate!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, and with a thought, a terrifying wave of soul might swept out grandly.


    Sizz sizz sizz~


    The soul like a knife, hot as fire¡ªBurning Heart Blade!!


    ¡°Ah~¡±


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Me?¡± Over twenty Flying Heaven Aliens, the vast majority fell silently and instantly, and a few in the Flying Heaven Middle Stage, after struggling for a few breaths, also died outright.


    So much time had passed, this Soul Slaughter Secret Art had already advanced further, becoming even more formidable.

 Chapter 660: 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God

    Chapter 660: Chapter 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall, the East Demon Deity examined multiple pieces of intelligence in his hands.


    Not just the East Demon Deity, the incarnation of the Bei Yue Deity was also here, looking at these reports.


    The first report, secretly transmitted from the upper echelons of the Seven Star Civilization, read, ¡°Li Yuan has broken through to become a Flying Heaven Level, Level 33, and is suspected to have gone to Lantie Star to participate in the war.¡±


    The second report, coming from Lantie Star, mentioned that a significant number of Flying Heaven Realm Martial Artists were silently falling, losing their soul signatures, presumably slain by soul attacks.


    The third report, also from Lantie Star, inferred from the slaughter of those from the Flying Heaven Realm that the Seven Star Civilization must have a presence of three Semi-Divine Level combatants carrying out inquiries and sweeping across the planet¡¯s surface.


    ¡°Three Semi-Divine Level?¡±


    ...


    Bei Yue Deity wondered, ¡°East Demon, according to previous intelligence, weren¡¯t there only four Semi-Divine Level beings from the Seven Star Civilization on Lantie Star?¡±


    ¡°Guarding two passages, there were three Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Only Mu Ji Semi-Divine should have been involved in the large-scale sweep,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°In the early stages of the war, the intelligence only mentioned Mu Ji Deity¡¯s term, how did two more appear?¡±


    ¡°A silent demise, including Flying Heaven Peak Experts? This isn¡¯t something ordinary Semi-Divines can achieve,¡± East Demon Deity spoke softly, ¡°Li Yuan, at the Second Rank, his soul had undergone a transformation to the Semi-Divine Level¡­ Since becoming a Flying Heaven, his body is stronger, nurturing a soul and will that are even more formidable, capable of using soul attacks to cause a Flying Heaven Peak to fall, even directly slaying him, it is possible.¡±


    ¡°Soul erasing a Flying Heaven Peak?¡± Bei Yue Deity¡¯s expression also changed.


    Among the entire assembly of Myriad Demons Deities, there were over a hundred Semi-Divine Peak Experts, but only two could accomplish this feat.


    Li Yuan? Could he do it?


    ¡°Soul methods, increasingly important the further along, Semi-Divines generally have weaker soul research,¡± the East Demon Deity spoke softly, ¡°That Mu Ji Semi-Divine, judging by his flying speed, attack might¡­ the probability of him being at the Semi-Divine Peak is exceedingly small.¡±


    ¡°Fine, let¡¯s assume one of them is Li Yuan,¡± Bei Yue Deity shook his head, ¡°But what about another Semi-Divine Level? Could there be another extremely strong Flying Heaven from the Seven Star Civilization, comparable to a Semi-Divine?¡±


    The war had erupted not even a day ago.


    In such a short time, a Semi-Divine could not possibly reach there.


    A Flying Heaven Warrior temporarily breaking through to Semi-Divine? Normally, they wouldn¡¯t complete the breakthrough so quickly.


    Like the three Flying Heaven Demons of the Myriad Demons Civilization, they were still in the process of breaking through.


    ¡°Two possibilities.¡±


    ¡°One is that the Seven Star Civilization had a Semi-Divine hidden on Lantie Star all along, who didn¡¯t participate in the initial stages of the war and is only now joining,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity slowly said, ¡°The other possibility, do you remember that Flying Serpent following Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°The Flame Surge Star Realm?¡± Bei Yue Deity instantly recalled.


    ¡°Exactly.¡±


    ¡°In the Battle of the Flame Surge Star Realm, a Second Rank Flying Serpent endured Ruins Flame Semi-Divine¡¯s distant attacks without dying, its flying speed was even comparable to a Semi-Divine¡­ In terms of strength, actually more terrifying than Li Yuan,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity said, ¡°If this serpent achieved the Third Rank, it having Semi-Divine strength wouldn¡¯t be strange.¡±


    Bei Yue Deity understood. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    All the intelligence, now made sense.


    ¡°Myriad Demon, what is your plan?¡± Bei Yue Deity looked at the Myriad Demons Deity.


    ¡°I have granted Pu Yang, Suhaer, and others Origin Power Arrays traps,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity said, ¡°Originally, the plan was to let them break through to Semi-Divine, then encircle and ambush a Semi-Divine, hoping to kill one or two, then command the hidden army to strike all at once, completely destroying Lantie Star and slaughtering all the Seven Star people.¡±


    ¡°Sadly, the Seven Star Civilization reacted too quickly, discovering the Star Realm Passage in less than three days, immediately commanding Semi-Divines to block the passage, and then a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors conducted global sweeps. So many hidden forces couldn¡¯t stay concealed, they could only reveal some and start attacking,¡± the Myriad Demons Deity shook his head.


    Bei Yue Deity nodded slightly.


    The initial plan was to wait for Pu Yang and the others to become Semi-Divine before launching an attack.


    After all, initiating an attack prematurely, no one could contend with the Seven Stars Semi-Divine¡­ In a face-off between Semi-Divine and Flying Heaven Realm, it¡¯s basically one-sided slaughter.


    Currently.


    Three thousand Flying Heaven from the Myriad Demons Civilization infiltrated into Lantie Star had fallen nearly a thousand¡­ They had destroyed countless cities, killed nearly two hundred million ordinary people, and over three hundred Flying Heaven Warriors from the Seven Stars Civilization died in battle.


    This casualty ratio, the Myriad Demons Civilization could totally bear.


    After all, the Flying Heaven Warriors of the Myriad Demons Civilization were tens of times more numerous than those of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Not to mention only a thousand died, even if all three thousand Flying Heaven Realm fell, the East Demon Deity didn¡¯t care.


    But foreseeably, accompanied by the continuous patrols by Mu Ji Deity, Li Yuan, and other Semi-Divine Level forces, no one could restrict them, the casualties among the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Flying Heaven could sharply increase, and the fruits of their victories would continually decrease.


    ¡°It¡¯s a bad thing.¡±


    ¡°But it is also a good thing,¡± the East Demon Deity spoke slowly, ¡°Without such a large-scale assault prompting urgency from the Seven Star Civilization, perhaps they wouldn¡¯t have deployed Li Yuan, their trump card. Against the Flying Heaven Realm, he kills at a faster speed than other Semi-Divines.¡±


    ¡°Right, his soul attack, indeed formidable,¡± Bei Yue Deity also had to admit this point.


    ¡°Li Yuan dares to come, just right.¡±


    ¡°Previously, my plan was to let Pu Yang and the others hunt those few Semi-Divine Initial Rank,¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered, ¡°Now, let¡¯s hunt Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Hunt Li Yuan?¡± Bei Yue Deity was shocked, ¡°Are you confident?¡±


    ¡°His soul attack is powerful, thus, in the intelligence, he is identified as Semi-Divine Level,¡± the East Demon Deity said, ¡°But he¡¯s only Level 33, not even reaching the Third Rank Limit in the Nine Layers Star Technique¡­ His direct combat power is estimated barely at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank.¡±


    ¡°Once Pu Yang and the others three break through, joining hands, setting up a deathtrap, even a Semi-Divine Middle Rank might not escape, killing one Li Yuan, the odds are still quite high,¡± the East Demon Deity spoke somberly.

 Chapter 661: 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God_2

    Chapter 661: Chapter 360: Target Li Yuan! The Name of the Snake God_2


    Be advised, he had long known that the Demigod Muge was of the Semi-Divine Middle Rank, yet he daringly allowed Pu Yang, Sang Qiu, and their trio to participate in the war, naturally possessing substantial confidence.


    ¡°Could the news of Li Yuan being Level 33 be false?¡± The Bei Yue Deity couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Could Li Yuan already be at Level 36?¡±


    ¡°Level 36?¡± The Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered.


    The elevation of one¡¯s Life Level not only meant stronger Origin Power and Basic Strength but also indicated the capability to cultivate stronger Star Techniques.


    For example, the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, to cultivate it to the Third Rank Limit, one would need to be at least Level 36.


    ¡°The likelihood is not great.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Even if he is a Second Rank Seven Star Vein, breaking through would bring him to Level 32, but the time since his breakthrough to Flying Heaven, it¡¯s highly probable it¡¯s been only a few months, at most two years.¡± The East Demon shook his head, ¡°Less than two years, from Level 32 to 36, do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±


    The Bei Yue Deity hesitated and did not retort.


    ¡°Even if it truly is the worst-case scenario.¡±


    ¡°If Li Yuan has cultivated to Level 36, or even if his Spear Technique has entered the Seventh Stage, his strength would be close to that of Semi-Divine Middle Rank.¡± The eyes of the East Demon Deity were cold, ¡°The three of Pu Yang, if they join forces, might still have a hope of vanquishing him, or at the very least, they could retreat with their whole bodies intact.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, what needs to be done now is to wait for Pu Yang and the others to break through,¡± the Bei Yue Deity was persuaded by the East Demon Deity.


    The predictions of the two deities were indeed not wrong.


    Like Liu Bing, who had cultivated to this point, was already at Level 36.


    But what they indeed couldn¡¯t imagine was that Li Yuan was not only of the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, but he also possessed ¡®Origin Power Infusion,¡¯ and even more so, he had accumulated it a total of three times.


    ¡°The speed of Li Yuan¡¯s Inquiry and Slaughter is too swift.¡±


    ¡°Those Flying Heaven Realm experts in hiding, many of them lurking just beneath the surface, have all been detected.¡± The East Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°They can¡¯t completely hide away; they must continue to attack in batches.¡±


    ¡°To keep Li Yuan and Demigod Muge busy with rescues.¡±


    He directly issued the order.


    If they were to hide completely,


    then Li Yuan, Demigod Muge, and the rest could continue searching, and sooner or later the entire planet would be explored¡­ it could possibly expose Pu Yang, Sang Qiu, and Suhaer ahead of time.


    They must keep Li Yuan and the others forced to remain in the surface area.


    Therefore,


    under the command of the East Demon Deity, the strategy of the vast armies of the Myriad Demons Civilization began to change, forming into teams of dozens of Flying Heaven Realm experts scattered around the globe to assault one city after another.


    They struck and promptly left, without lingering.


    When fleeing, they wouldn¡¯t follow the surface, but would dive directly deep into the earth, hundreds, even thousands of kilometers down¡­ navigating through the mantle layer.


    ¡­


    ¡°Luzhou City has encountered a large-scale attack, with over thirty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.¡±


    ¡°Yanchi Province encountered an assault, with nearly twenty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race, including two at the Flying Heaven Peak.¡±


    ¡°Treehouse Island was attacked, with over twenty confirmed¡­¡±


    One after another, calls for help were swiftly transmitted through the global system.


    At the same time, over twenty cities suffered attacks.


    Now, on Lantie Star, the number of Seven Stars Flying Heaven Realm experts had completely surpassed those of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    But the areas they needed to protect were too broad, with billions of people on the entire planet that they couldn¡¯t possibly evacuate, only able to concentrate on defending.


    The Seven Star Civilization could not possibly abandon any major city; to abandon a city would mean the slaughter of millions or even tens of millions¡­ the slaughter speed of Flying Heaven Martial Artists was terrifying.


    Therefore, the fierce Flying Heaven battle erupted anew.


    In some cities, the Seven Star Civilization side would have the upper hand, after all, the Seven Star Civilization would also secretly arrange extremely strong defensive forces in some cities. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But in many cities, the Seven Star Civilization was at a disadvantage, where a large number of Flying Heaven Martial Artists were killed.


    Then, it would be the mass slaughter of ordinary humans.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The terrifying Flying Heaven Alien Race, flying at several times the speed of sound and at an extremely low altitude over the cities, their Origin Power stirring, invoking their Domain, spreading for hundreds of meters¡­ causing all buildings in their path to collapse, all lives they touch to perish, turning the place into a lifeless domain.


    For some Flying Heaven Martial Artists who had comprehended True Intent, slaughtering was easy.


    Dozens of Flying Heaven experts, just by flying back and forth, could turn a city of a million people into ruins and slaughter most of its inhabitants in just a minute.


    Tragic!


    One hundred and eighty million!


    Two hundred million!


    Two hundred and twenty million!


    ¡­


    On the ¡®Global System¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization, the estimated death toll was rising at an alarming rate, and this was only in the major cities¡­ countless smaller towns couldn¡¯t withstand such assaults.


    ¡°The casualties are too severe.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as though the Myriad Demons Civilization has gone mad.¡±


    ¡°After the initial surprise attack, they evidently hid away, and now they¡¯ve started attacking again.¡±


    ¡°Fight!¡±


    ¡°Fight!¡± The Flying Heaven Martial Artists of the Seven Star Civilization were also resisting with all their might.


    ¡­


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart filled with rage at the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s frenzied counterattack.


    Li Yuan had no good solution.


    His flight speed had already exceeded 20 times the speed of sound, about 8 kilometers per second, but traveling from one major city to another still took at least several minutes.


    For some separated by thousands of kilometers, it took even longer.


    In such a long time, many cities¡¯ Flying Heaven battles would have ended¡­ the experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization did not love combat, often striking and leaving at once.


    Of course, there were times when Li Yuan could make it in time.


    Then, the experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization would face annihilation.


    ¡­


    ¡°Flying Heaven is here.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re being attacked by Flying Heaven Aliens.¡± Many ordinary people, hiding in basements and defense installations, were silently praying, with many of them watching the news broadcasts on their smart wristbands.


    The terrifying clashes of Flying Heaven experts were raging in brutal combat.

 Chapter 662: 360 Target Li Yuan! Name of the Snake God_3

    Chapter 662: Chapter 360 Target Li Yuan! Name of the Snake God_3


    The battle speed was too fast, and through the satellite-captured images, ordinary people couldn¡¯t see clearly at all.


    Suddenly.


    Boom!


    A dazzling streak of light, moving at a terrifying speed, sprinted across the horizon and reached the void where a large group of Flying Heaven Warriors was fighting in just a few seconds.


    This scene made many ordinary people hold their breathes. Who could it be?


    Whoosh~


    ...


    In the sky, among the large group of Flying Heaven Warriors that was engaged in battle, some of them suddenly plummeted down.


    Dead on the spot!


    ¡°We won!¡±


    ¡°The defense battle in Jiwu City is a straight win!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan, the peerless genius of our Human Race, Li Yuan. It is said that he has a terrifying soul attack capable of exterminating large numbers of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.¡± The excited voice of the news broadcaster came through.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Is it the legendary Li Yuan who once swept through numerous Second Level Star Realms?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Countless ordinary people on Lantie Star remembered Li Yuan¡¯s name.


    ¡­


    The planetary crisis on Lantie Star was not just about the great war on Lantie Star, but it also caught the attention of all planets within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Planets like Feixing, Blue Star, and Heavenly Sea Star, as well as billions of ordinary people within a single planet, were all watching this battle.


    ¡°Join the battle!¡±


    ¡°The Flying Heaven great war.¡±


    ¡°This is a battle to defend our homeland.¡±


    ¡°Today it¡¯s Lantie Star, in the future it could be us.¡±


    ¡°We must win this battle.¡± Countless people watched as the higher-ups of the Seven Star Civilization ordered cities on Lantie Star to broadcast or relay the fight live.


    Each battle, whether won or lost, was part of the history of the entire civilization.


    It would enhance the cohesion of the entire civilization.


    ¡­


    Many ordinary people were unaware of the news within different Star Realms clashing.


    Too many ordinary people were focused on the great war on Lantie Star.


    It also made many participating powerhouses, like Duanmu Hong, enormously influential once they succeeded in the defense battle.


    Others like Yu Jinghe and Lude Nef also participated, but their strength was somewhat inferior, naturally less dazzling.


    However, without a doubt, the most famous and eye-catching were those standing at the peak.


    Apart from Li Yuan.


    Mo Ji Demigod was also terrifyingly powerful. Although his slaughter speed wasn¡¯t as fast as Li Yuan¡¯s, his flying speed was even quicker.


    However, in this planetary crisis, compared to Li Yuan and Mo Ji Demigod, the most terrifying and most noticed was actually Liu Bing!


    Her flying speed was simply too frightening, and the number of Myriad Demons Civilization powerhouses that died at her hands was no less than those killed by Li Yuan, and perhaps even more.


    ¡­


    Wansheng City, a medium-sized city with a population of only a few hundred thousand, now also had more than a dozen Flying Heaven Warriors defending it.


    In the past, Wansheng City had never gathered so many Flying Heaven Warriors.


    High above the city, on the outskirts, fierce battles were erupting.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Rumble!¡± Individual Martial Artists or groups teamed up emitting strong auras, were locked in intense battles with more than twenty powerful fighters from the Myriad Demons Civilization who attacked suddenly.


    The battle was extremely fierce.


    Terrifying True Intent fluctuations; a single movement from a Flying Heaven Warrior could collapse a skyscraper or rip the earth open with fissures hundreds of meters long¡­ The Seven Star Civilization was at a disadvantage.


    Both in numbers, and in top combat power, they were far from sufficient.


    ¡°News came through the global system,¡± the leading redhead young man¡¯s voice resounded in every Seven Stars Martial Artist¡¯s mind: ¡°Half a minute! Just half a minute! A Demigod expert will arrive.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Hold on for 30 seconds.¡±


    ¡°Half a minute!¡± More than ten besieged Flying Heaven Warriors, who were originally almost in despair, now showed excitement.


    They had thought, staying in a medium-sized city, they wouldn¡¯t encounter too large-scale attacks.


    It had been safe before, they hadn¡¯t expected that when the Myriad Demons Civilization attacked, it would be deadly.


    They were far outnumbered.


    ¡°30 seconds.¡±


    ¡°As soon as the Demigod arrives, we can slaughter these Alien Races completely and thoroughly protect the hundreds of thousands of our people behind.¡±


    ¡°Hold them off.¡±


    ¡°Even if it costs us our lives, hold them back.¡± The more than ten Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization were fighting desperately.


    Similarly,


    The Myriad Demons Civilization fighters were also attacking furiously, knowing the urgency of time, they must give everything they had.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°We must kill at least two Flying Heaven fighters from the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°We must complete the mission to survive.¡±


    ¡°I want to go home.¡± The fighters of the Myriad Demons Civilization also had their own desires, they came with orders, and also longed to return home.


    To return home, they had to make meritorious deeds!


    Only by killing the enemy would they qualify to return home¡­ Being in a foreign domain, they had no choice but to fight desperately.


    Boom!


    Time ticked away second by second, one Flying Heaven Warrior after another fell in battle, mostly from the Seven Star Civilization, as they were at a sheer disadvantage.


    Thirty seconds!


    For Flying Heaven Warriors, this level of engagement seemed an exceedingly long era.


    ¡°We¡¯re going all out.¡±


    ¡°Kill! Kill!¡± The warriors of the Seven Star Civilization tried their hardest to resist, their hearts filled with hope.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Roar~¡± A piercing scream reverberated through the Vast Sky, the sound imbued with Origin Power, echoing instantly across dozens of miles.


    Boom!


    A terrifying figure, glowing with dazzling blue light, crossed the void as if it was at the edge of the universe one second and arrived at the battlefield the next.


    Might was overwhelming! The brilliance was blinding!


    ¡°Demigod!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Divine Snake, our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Divine Snake.¡± The remaining eight Flying Heaven experts of the Seven Star Civilization were immensely excited, recognizing the newcomer.


    Indeed.


    After so many interventions, Liu Bing had fully revealed herself, reverently referred to as the ¡°Divine Snake.¡±


    ¡°Flee.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s come so quickly.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that Flying Serpent, let¡¯s go!¡± The group of Myriad Demons Civilization warriors panicked¡ªthey had appeared to attack less than a minute ago¡­ They usually fled after one minute.


    Once they fled, burying deep into the earth, tracking them down would become difficult.


    But Liu Bing arrived too fast.


    Boom!


    An immense spread of blue light; Liu Bing¡¯s speed easily surged beyond 12 kilometers per second, terrifying Law Fluctuations swept across miles¡­ One by one, opposing Flying Heaven warriors fell, only two at the Flying Heaven Peak managed to withstand.


    ¡°Die!¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes were ice-cold as she closed in.


    Rip~


    Terrifying claw light tore through the sky and earth, instantly killing two Alien Race warriors at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    After reaching Level 36, she had honed all three Nine Layer Star Techniques to perfection, her combat power reaching a new level.


    In just a few seconds.


    Liu Bing had already crossed dozens of miles, slaughtering more than twenty Flying Heaven experts from the Myriad Demons Civilization, swiftly collecting all the leftover treasures.


    ¡°Thank Divine Snake,¡± the Flying Heaven Warriors gratefully said.


    Without Liu Bing¡¯s timely arrival, they would have certainly died.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Liu Bing glanced at them briefly, then disappeared into the horizon amidst a surge of blue light.


    ¡­


    ¡°Divine Snake!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s so powerful, with a flying speed surpassing 12 kilometers per second, blending seamlessly with nature. How many demigods can achieve that?¡± The live stream hosts were dumbfounded.


    Not just ordinary people.


    Even the demigods who had been following the grand battle at Lantie Star were astounded.


    ¡°Divine Snake, supposedly Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast and just at the Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°So powerful, when has my Seven Star Civilization ever had such a terrifying Exotic Beast?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan himself is formidable, and his Spirit Beast even more so!¡± These demigods sighed.


    If a few years ago a demigod harbored ulterior motives, now, such thoughts have completely extinguished. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Both Li Yuan and Liu Bing¡¯s growth rates were terrifying, beyond their imagination.


    A powerful soul attack, flying speeds comparable to Semi-Divine Peak¡­ Once Li Yuan and his Spirit Beast joined forces, looking across the entire Seven Star Civilization, how many demigods could compete?


    ¡°Divine Snake.¡±


    ¡°This is a blessing for my Seven Star Civilization.¡± Among the Seven Star Civilization, countless ordinary people were discussing ¡®Liu Bing,¡¯ many even began worshiping her.


    ¡­


    In the void, Li Yuan continued to travel swiftly to the next area, his Divine Sense completely unleashed, constantly inquiring in all directions.


    ¡°Six days now.¡±


    ¡°This crisis on the planet should be nearing its end.¡± Li Yuan felt quite weary in spirit.


    For six days, he had barely rested at all.


    Either he was on a rescue mission, or exploring and patrolling various regions.


    Plus, these days, he had constantly been deploying soul attacks¡­ which greatly burdened his soul.


    The results of the battles were substantial.


    To date, the Seven Star Civilization side had killed over 2500 Flying Heaven warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Of course, the casualties on the Seven Star Civilization side were also heavy, with over 800 Flying Heaven warriors dead and hundreds of millions of ordinary people.


    Now, over 7000 Flying Heaven Warriors from the Seven Star Civilization had gathered on Lantie Star, scattered across the planet.


    Li Yuan had not received any distress calls for over three hours.


    And his continuous inquiries had also gone several minutes without detecting any Flying Heaven Alien Race.

    Chapter 663: Chapter 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain


    Lantie Star, Sharp Mountain Bay City, located on the edge of the vast ocean, this area was quite remote.


    Boom!


    A dazzling streak of light fell from the sky and hovered hundreds of meters above ground, immediately revealing the figure of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Less than five minutes and this town has been completely destroyed?¡± Li Yuan stared at the ruins of the town below. With his powerful divine sense, he could envelop the entire town.


    Broken walls and shattered remnants of buildings lay collapsed. With Li Yuan¡¯s divine sense covering the area, there were thousands of ordinary people¡¯s corpses, and many more victims whose bones were hard to identify.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    ...


    Swoosh! Three figures suddenly rushed out from the ruins and swiftly appeared before Li Yuan, each of them bowing respectfully: ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    So many days had passed, and with each of his interventions, the Seven Star Alliance had long since announced him as a Star Master, currently classified as a ¡®Third Class Star Master.¡¯


    It was just that not much time had passed, and he had not yet attended the highest meeting of the Alliance.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s understanding, Star Masters in the Seven Star Alliance were roughly divided into three levels.


    Flying Heaven Star Masters, usually stellar warriors of level 36 like Duanmu Hong, or some extremely strong existences among level 35 Flying Heaven Warriors, all belonged to Third Class Star Masters.


    Second Class Star Masters, the vast majority of demigods belonged to this level.


    First Rank Star Masters were usually Semi-Divine Peak Experts, in addition to some who had made great contributions and held special status among Semi-Divine Middle Rank warriors.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine, although only level 44, was also a First Rank Star Master.


    Above that were Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji and two Vice Alliance Hierarchs.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s true strength, serving as a Second Class Star Master was more than sufficient¡­ but since he was still acting as ¡®bait,¡¯ he would naturally not expose himself directly.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°We arrived here in the second minute after receiving the distress message,¡± said the leading woman in black armor, with a wry smile: ¡°But by then, the Alien Race had already fled, and more than eighty percent of the tens of thousands of people in this town were dead or injured. It must have been one or two Flying Heaven Aliens.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly. He had been on Lantie Star for nearly eight days, and the planet¡¯s war had long since neared its end.


    However, occasional attacks were still happening.


    Perhaps because there were fewer remaining strong warriors, or perhaps because the high command of the Myriad Demons Civilization had changed their attack plans¡­ In any case, Flying Heaven warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization were now splitting up their attacks, solely targeting small cities and towns.


    It was impossible to guard against.


    Over 7000 Flying Heaven Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization seemed numerous, but major cities required a large contingent of Flying Heaven Warriors for protection.


    After all, though it seemed the Myriad Demons Civilization no longer attacked major cities, the Seven Star Civilization had to defend vigorously.


    A moment¡¯s relaxation could lead to casualties in the millions.


    Thus, adding to those searching underground and the ocean, the Flying Heaven Warriors who could be spared to protect the many small cities and towns were very few in number.


    ¡°The main issue is the destructive power of those at the Flying Heaven Realm,¡± another warrior in purple armor commented, shaking his head: ¡°If it were just level one or level two Aliens¡­ they simply couldn¡¯t destroy so many defensive structures so quickly.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Each city, each building was specifically reinforced, effectively resisting attacks from second rank Aliens¡­ but to Flying Heaven Warriors, steel plate and soil had little difference.


    Such large-scale attacks covering an entire planet happened only once in many years¡­ Only such an event could be called a planetary crisis.


    ¡°You have all worked hard.¡±


    ¡°Stay stationed here for a while longer, then continue patrolling according to orders,¡± Li Yuan instructed.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the three Flying Heaven Warriors replied respectfully.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and flew off into the distance.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan is quite courteous toward us,¡± the man in purple armor said softly.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan has made huge contributions to our entire civilization, spearheading several major battles,¡± the woman in black armor whispered: ¡°Logically speaking, he¡¯s only level 33 now. Although his strength is extremely formidable, there should still be a lot of room for improvement¡­ Now being in the public eye actually makes him an easy target for the Alien Race to assassinate, but he still came.¡±


    ¡°In the eyes of the Alien Race, his value is probably higher than ten demigods,¡± the woman in black armor said.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say Star Lord Li Yuan has the strength of a demigod?¡± the man in purple armor couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°With such terrifying strength, how could the Myriad Demons Civilization assassinate him? There¡¯s only a Third Level Star Realm Passage on Lantie Star, and demigods can¡¯t pass through it.¡±


    In the hearts of most Flying Heaven Warriors, demigods were the pinnacle of the entire civilization¡¯s combat power.


    They would not easily fall.


    ¡°Star Lord Li Yuan is powerful because of his soul attacks, but against a demigod, soul attacks are probably useless,¡± the woman in black armor shook her head: ¡°Whether his frontal combat power is at the Semi-Divine Level¡­ it¡¯s hard to say, given that he¡¯s only level 33.¡±


    ¡°If his Spear Technique hasn¡¯t reached the legendary Law Level, he probably doesn¡¯t have Semi-Divine Level strength,¡± the woman in black armor said.


    The other two nodded in agreement.


    According to their intelligence, two years ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique seemed to have reached Semi-Divine Level (Sixth Stage Perfection), but not up to Seventh Stage¡­ two years had passed, had this legendary prodigy of their civilization comprehended the Law?

    Strength, after all, is closely related not only to Life Level, but also to Star Technique and Law Comprehension.


    ¡°As for the assassination?¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization sent thousands of Flying Heaven warriors, could it be that none of the Aliens made breakthroughs and turned into demigods?¡± the woman in black armor sighed: ¡°So much time has passed, it¡¯s possible that the Myriad Demons Civilization has secretly had some breakthroughs into becoming demigods.¡±


    These simple words gave everyone present a shock.


    Alien Race demigods?


    That was nothing short of a nightmare.


    ¡°Does that mean Star Lord Li Yuan is in great danger?¡± the silent figure in the black robe said in a deep voice: ¡°Should we warn Star Lord Li Yuan?¡±

    Chapter 664: Chapter 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain_2


    ¡°We can¡¯t think of anything that the demigods wouldn¡¯t have thought of,¡± the woman in black armor shook her head. ¡°To still have Li Yuan, the Star Master, come to Lantie Star to join the battle must mean there is some assurance.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s all just do our duties.¡± Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Soon after, the three Flying Heaven Warriors surveyed the town once again and rescued many buried people before quickly departing¡­ Their main mission wasn¡¯t here.


    ¡­


    ¡°The casualties are too high.¡± Li Yuan thought silently, the number of Flying Heaven Alien Race who died by his hand had exceeded six hundred.


    But casualties were unavoidable.


    ...


    These days, Li Yuan had seen too many destroyed cities, too many human corpses.


    Nearly one-tenth of Lantie Star¡¯s population had been slaughtered¡­


    ¡°This is still because of the major stars¡¯ continuous support and the full protection by me, Liu Bing, and a few other demigods.¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly. ¡°Without these demigod-level combat forces, without the Flying Heaven from various stars¡­ after such a long time, Lantie Star might have been wiped out.¡±


    This was a civilization war.


    There was no good or evil, the Alien Race came specifically to slaughter.


    ¡°Civilization war!¡±


    ¡°Survival.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself. ¡°Before the Alliance Hierarch rose to power, nearly all the Foreign Civilizations we came into contact with tried to invade us, and it was only later that they were successively repelled¡­ Over the past hundred years, most Foreign Civilizations have become much more peaceful, and fewer dare to wage direct war against us.¡±


    ¡°Last time, I slaughtered so many Second Level Star Realm warriors¡­ Most Foreign Civilizations didn¡¯t dare say anything.¡±


    ¡°Even the Cloud Beast Civilization rarely made harsh statements anymore.¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Instead, they seemed to be seeking peace with us.¡±


    Why? The Seven Star Civilization had grown stronger.


    With Dongfang Wu before and Fang Hai after, the younger generation like Li Yuan.


    The rise of the Seven Star Civilization had already made many godless Foreign Civilizations tremble in fear.


    ¡°My Divine Sense¡¯s inquiry range is still too small, only able to spread about ten kilometers. Just surveying the surface takes a long time,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Not to mention exploring the entire planet¡­ To survey the whole planet would take too slow.¡±


    ¡°If I had a Pseudo-God Level Soul¡­ My Divine Sense could spread over hundreds of kilometers, and the inquiry efficiency would be hundreds of times faster.¡± Li Yuan thought. ¡°Perhaps in just a day or two, I could survey the entire planet inside and out.¡±


    If only.


    A year and more after breaking through to Flying Heaven, although Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual power had reached Level 48, rising from Level 48 to Level 50 was not something that could be achieved in a short time.


    ¡°If my strength could be stronger, reaching the Semi-Divine Peak level.¡±


    ¡°My speed would be faster, I could save more people.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes showed longing. ¡°Even, I could penetrate into many Third Level Star Realms, and even directly strike the enemy civilizations on their home planets, bringing the war to their territory.¡±


    All this time, the Seven Star Civilization and too many Foreign Civilizations shared realms, and just defending the numerous realms was difficult.


    Let alone launching an offensive?


    But Li Yuan also had desires and goals.


    In the past, he could sweep through Second Level Star Realms¡­ In the future, he could do the same with all Third Level Star Realms.


    Even completely destroy many enemy civilizations.


    ¡°Erasing a race from history is the utmost respect to the enemy and to the ancestors of the past generations.¡± The more Li Yuan saw, the clearer he became on what he needed to do.


    For the survival and strengthening of civilization, anything could be done.


    ¡­


    Lantie Star, deep underground about 4,000 kilometers down, where the temperature was extremely high, scorching hot.


    But such harsh conditions meant little to Semi-Divine Level warriors.


    Roaring ¨C Terrifying black clouds, grand and imposing, enveloped a kilometer radius, expelling all matter within this kilometer to ensure no one could pry.


    Within the black clouds.


    ¡°Suhaer, Sang Qiu,¡± the bald muscular man Pu Yang, exuding a far more terrifying aura than before, spoke in a deep voice. ¡°You should all have seen the latest command from the Eastern Demon Deity. Right now, we living Flying Heaven warriors don¡¯t even number eight hundred. Continuing these attacks won¡¯t have much impact on the Seven Star Civilization anymore.¡±


    ¡°Maybe sometime, Li Yuan will withdraw.¡±


    ¡°So, the Eastern Demon Deity commands us to quickly set up a deathtrap to kill Li Yuan. What are your thoughts?¡±


    ¡°What thoughts can there be? We¡¯ve all become demigods.¡± The woman in silver garments ¡®Sang Qiu¡¯ shook her head. ¡°Before coming here, we all swore the Threshold of the Law oaths, we must obey commands¡­ Do you want to break the oath?¡±


    ¡°I and Suhaer don¡¯t mind.¡± Sang Qiu said. ¡°Pu Yang, you have stepped into the Threshold of the Law, you should be sensing it.¡±


    Among the three major Flying Heaven warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization, Suhaer and Sang Qiu had only achieved Sixth Stage Perfection in True Intent Comprehension, meeting the minimum requirement to become a Semi-Divine.


    But only Pu Yang, after training in the Flying Heaven Realm for 150 years, not only awakened the Six Star Pulse but had also stepped into the Threshold of the Law; he was one of the most powerful Flying Heaven warriors in this era of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    It could be said¡­


    If Pu Yang grew normally, he had a very high chance of reaching the Semi-Divine Peak in the future, theoretically even a slight chance to Ascend to God.


    This was also why the Eastern Demon Deity chose him as the leader.


    With such strength, once he achieved demi-godhood, he would have the strength necessary to compete with the Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divine.

    But upon arriving in the Seven Star Civilization, they had significant autonomy.


    ¡°We can¡¯t return to our hometown,¡± said the Suhaer Semi-Divine, looking over the two companions, ¡°but the Seven Star Civilization will not trust us. They will only want to kill us, and even if we submit to the Seven Star Civilization¡­ becoming a servant is the best outcome.¡±


    ¡°We cannot collaborate with the Seven Star Civilization,¡± declared the Suhaer Semi-Divine solemnly.


    Suhaer and Sang Qiu couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    ¡°The Eastern Demon Deity has promised that as long as we can kill Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Then, he would arrange for Tassi Semi-Divine, Florence Semi-Divine, at the edge of the Star Realm Passage, to deliver treasures worth 200 Divine Crystals to us, aiding us in quickly reaching the Semi-Divine Peak,¡± stated the Suhaer Semi-Divine.


    ...


    Suhaer and Sang Qiu were tempted.


    Before their arrival, although the Eastern Demon Deity had coerced and enticed them, he had truly bestowed a large number of treasures, including powerful divine artifacts¡­ If they were in the Myriad Demons Civilization, even if they became semi-divine, they would not receive these treasures.


    But upon arriving in the Seven Star Civilization, they were directly granted.


    ¡°If we could kill Li Yuan, it would also eliminate a future calamity,¡± stated Suhaer gravely. ¡°As long as we successfully kill him, the Eastern Demon Deity should keep his promise, and as long as we don¡¯t die, our significance to the entire civilization would still be substantial.


    ¡°Right, plan to kill Li Yuan,¡± Sang Qiu spoke softly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    ¡°We have just completed our breakthrough,¡± Pu Yang whispered. ¡°Let¡¯s first train our Star Technique to the Fourth Rank and further control the divine artifacts¡­ Let our power enhance further before we proceed with the plan.¡±


    Previously, for over ten days, the three of them had been separately secluding themselves deep within the stars for their breakthroughs.


    Today, they gathered together for the first time.


    ¡°We are only at level 40; it¡¯s hard to train the Sixth Layer Star Technique to the Fourth Rank Limit. We can only get an introduction at most, it wouldn¡¯t take too long,¡± Suhaer said deeply.


    Normally, a Physical Quality of level 42 is needed to train the Sixth and Seventh Layers Star Technique to the Fourth Rank Limit.


    But clearly, there wasn¡¯t much time left for the three semi-divine beings to slowly train.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Just getting our Star Technique to the Fourth Rank is sufficient,¡± said the Suhaer Semi-Divine. ¡°Our main strategy in killing Li Yuan relies not on ourselves but on the Origin Power Array formed from the divine artifacts.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s settled then.¡±


    ¡°We have determined the general area where Li Yuan operates based on the position of the deceased from Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°In ten days, we take official action,¡± declared the Suhaer Semi-Divine, and both Suhaer and Sang Qiu agreed.


    After reporting to the Eastern Demon Deity, they continued to stay here and concentrate on their cultivation.


    The three semi-divines did not separate anymore.


    Previously, they were scattered and had not yet made their breakthrough into semi-divinity, fearing that the Seven Star Civilization might wipe them out¡­ Now that they had all completed their breakthroughs, it was natural for them to gather together, and even if they encountered a Semi-Divine of the Middle Rank like ¡®Mu Ji Semi-Divine,¡¯ they were confident that they could escape unscathed together.


    ¡­


    Soon, to coordinate with the three semi-divines, the Eastern Demon Deity once again ordered the powers of the Wan Mo on Lantie Star to spread out and hide, while still maintaining low-frequency attacks¡­ forcing the strong beings of Seven Star Civilization to remain on full alert.


    In the blink of an eye, twelve days later.


    Lantie Star.


    In a vast void.


    ¡°These days, we have roughly explored every major sea area, but the number of Flying Heaven Alien Race found has reduced further,¡± Li Yuan walked along the seabed, accompanied by invisible fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth, causing the surrounding water to scatter.


    For the past five or six days, only about twenty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race had been found and killed each day on Lantie Star.


    ¡°According to the principal, San Ye Semi-Divine, and their estimations, there should not be more than 500 members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race left now, most of whom are hiding deep underground,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°To capture them all, it would take a group of semi-divines, sweeping through the entire planet again and again.¡±


    Only by repeated screening could they avoid any that slip through the net.


    With only Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Mu Ji Semi-Divine, it would be a massive undertaking.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly received an alert and immediately checked it, only to see that nearly instantly, six distress calls appeared in the ¡®global system¡¯ of the smart ring, all marked with red warnings.


    ¡°Six spots? Three in the Eastern Hemisphere, three in the Western Hemisphere,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils contracted slightly. ¡°In the Western Hemisphere, two of the locations are in the north, one in the south.¡±


    Li Yuan was primarily responsible for the southern region of the Western Hemisphere.


    And a red warning indicated an encounter with more than fifty members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    Six locations.


    This indicated that for this wave of attacks, the Myriad Demons Civilization had mobilized at least three hundred members of the Flying Heaven Alien Race¡­ After sustaining the battlefield for so long, could it be the Myriad Demons Civilization still dared to concentrate the limited remaining forces on a large scale?


    Was it their final struggle?


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, rushing at full speed to the nearest attacked location.


    No matter what plans the Myriad Demons Civilization had, he must first rush over there because the cities under attack were major cities with populations of at least several million¡­ If they fell, the consequences would be severe.


    Simultaneously.


    Mu Ji Semi-Divine and Liu Bing also rushed to the cities under attack¡­ as did many free-patrolling teams of Flying Heaven Warriors, speeding crazily to provide support.


    ¡°The attacked city is Dream City.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not far from me.¡±


    ¡°I can get there in one minute,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, feeling cautious.


    ¡­


    Dream City, a major city with a population of over ten million, covered a vast area spanning dozens of kilometers.


    At this moment, numerous Flying Heaven Warriors were engaged in fierce combat within the city, one side aiming to kill more Flying Heaven beings and ordinary people, while the other side desperately resisted.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°The semi-divine will arrive in one minute.¡±


    ¡°Keep them at bay!¡± The thirty-plus Flying Heaven Warriors responsible for defense had all been fully mobilized.

    Chapter 666: Chapter 361: Deathtrap! The Might of the Domain_4


    In the depths of the earth, tens of kilometers down.


    Three figures utilizing divine artifacts and exerting their full strength to conceal their own aura were positioned tens of kilometers apart from each other in a triangular formation, faintly surrounding the entire urban area of Dream City.


    ¡°Pu Yang, will this move work?¡± Sang Qiu transmitted a message using his magical treasure.


    ¡°After so many days and the death of thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, we¡¯ve ascertained the approximate range of activity for the three demigods with combat power,¡± Pu Yang said. ¡°The other five spots are merely feints, meant to attract the attention of the Demigod Mu Ji and that Flying Serpent.¡±


    ¡°Dream City is the only large city within Li Yuan¡¯s area of activity that has been attacked. He should come,¡± Pu Yang said.


    ¡°And if he doesn¡¯t come?¡± Sang Qiu asked, puzzled.


    ...


    ¡°Then we activate the divine artifact formation, destroy the entire city, and then withdraw,¡± Pu Yang said indifferently. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t come, we¡¯ll go on to destroy city by city¡­ slaughter the entire planet completely.¡±


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Suhaer and Sang Qiu both nodded slightly.


    The three demigods quietly sensed the Flying Heaven battle that had broken out in the city above.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°He¡¯s here,¡± Pu Yang Demigod¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s come quite fast, no need to implement the second plan.¡±


    ¡­


    It only took Li Yuan a minute to reach Dream City at full burst speed, where he immediately saw the grand battle erupting in the void.


    A Flying Heaven Realm battle, if even slightly impacted, could result in the death of a large number of ordinary people.


    Swish!


    Li Yuan approached at high speed, directly charging into the city, now reduced to ruins. The Flying Heaven Alien Race had already sensed Li Yuan¡¯s arrival and, in their shock and rage, were contemplating fleeing for their lives.


    Hum~ Hum~ The invisible soul fluctuations spread out, any Flying Heaven Alien Race that came within five kilometers of Li Yuan almost instantly perished, plummeting down.


    Even a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, if their will was slightly weaker, faced the risk of falling to Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack ¡°Burning Heart Blade.¡±


    In the blink of an eye.


    More than a dozen Flying Heaven Alien Race members had died.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan!¡± the warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, one by one, showed expressions of excitement.


    Just then.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan keenly perceived the sudden and drastic changes in the power of heaven and earth surrounding him; the heavens and earth within a radius of tens of kilometers seemed to have changed in that moment.


    Boom boom boom~ From all directions, above and below, massive black clouds surged into existence suddenly. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In three different directions, Li Yuan sensed through the power of heaven and earth three terrifying forces erupting.


    ¡°Mysteries of Earth! Mysteries of Wood! Mysteries of Water!¡± Li Yuan distinguished the power fluctuations from the three different directions.


    The three forces, each distinct, yet vaguely unified, converged to form a single entity, interlocking and gathering together, directly sealing off a vast area spanning tens of kilometers.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°A demigod-level Origin Power Array,¡± Li Yuan identified almost instantly as soon as the colossal array erupted.


    In fact.


    If Li Yuan had fled immediately, with his burst speed, there was a small chance he could have broken out of the array¡¯s range.


    But in that instant, Li Yuan didn¡¯t flee. Instead, he stood in the void.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan directly executed the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±, simultaneously activating the battle armor ¡®Nine Dragons Xuan Armor¡¯ on his body.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± Nine Yellow Dragons roared, surrounding him with a vast expanse of earthy yellow airflow like nine terrifying rivers, instantly enveloping a nearly ten-kilometer radius.


    Protecting most of the Flying Heaven Martial Artists and the millions of ordinary people within that range.


    ¡°Boom boom boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s domain collided violently with the black clouds surging towards him, immediately stirring up terrifying shockwaves.


    The might of the terrible black clouds continued to pound against Li Yuan¡¯s domain but could only suppress those nine Yellow Dragons, unable to completely shatter them.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Our three demigods joined forces, based on three divine artifacts and in cooperation with seventy-two prearranged Semi Divine Artifacts as keystones for an Origin Power Array, and we can¡¯t even shatter Li Yuan¡¯s domain?¡± Pu Yang Demigod, Suhaer Demigod, and Sang Qiu Demigod were all stunned.


    ¡°Our three demigods joined forces, based on three divine artifacts and in cooperation with seventy-two prearranged Semi Divine Artifacts as keystones for an Origin Power Array, and we can¡¯t even shatter Li Yuan¡¯s domain?¡± Pu Yang Demigod, Suhaer Demigod, and Sang Qiu Demigod were all stunned.

 Chapter 667: 362 Fierce Battle with a Demigod

    Chapter 667: Chapter 362 Fierce Battle with a Demigod


    ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡±


    ¡°Is it a secret treasure?¡±


    ¡°How can he, a Flying Heaven Level warrior, wield such a powerful domain? Even if a Mid-Rank Demigod were to unleash their Domain Star Technique, they might not be able to keep up with Li Yuan,¡± Pu Yang Demigod and others felt a sense of foreboding in their hearts.


    According to the intelligence they had gathered,


    even in the worst-case scenario, where Li Yuan had reached Level 36 and mastered the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, with his Spear Technique also far surpassing that from two years ago, his strength should only be close to that of a Mid-Rank Demigod.


    Thus, once they deployed the Origin Power Array, they should easily suppress Li Yuan.


    ...


    But now, the situation was completely different.


    Merely from the might of the domain Li Yuan unleashed, they could sense his terrifying power.


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan has not only reached Level 36 but also mastered the Nine Layer Domain Star Technique?¡± Pu Yang Demigod had a thought flash through his mind, ¡°But even so, his domain shouldn¡¯t be able to withstand our Origin Power Array, right?¡±


    His guess was indeed not wrong.


    But what he couldn¡¯t imagine was that Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level was even stronger than they had anticipated, not Level 36, but reaching Level 38.9!!


    Furthermore,


    Li Yuan¡¯s domain was not only composed of the Domain Star Technique but was also bolstered by the might of the Divine Artifact ¡®Nine Dragons Xuan Armor.¡¯


    Only with this could he withstand the impact of a Demigod-level formation.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The entire Origin Power Array covered an area with a side length of about thirty kilometers in the shape of a triangle, while Li Yuan¡¯s domain could only protect the very middle part; for the peripheral areas, Li Yuan had no way to¡­ immediately, within the range of the Origin Power Array, dark clouds crushed everything, every high-rise building and street was destroyed, resembling the tornado of extinction, turning countless cars, metals, into ruins in an instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The ground tore apart, instantly shattered, and within this area, all people, whether Martial Artists or unranked ordinary people, died in an instant.


    ¡°I won¡¯t!¡± A top-level Origin Martial Artist clenched his teeth and roared, sprinting, trying to dodge, and was immediately pierced through by a strand of black cloud.


    Puchi~ Dead!


    ¡°Flee.¡± A Flying Heaven Warrior cried out in anger while attempting to flee in flight, only to be immediately engulfed by a large mass of black clouds and directly shredded.


    Below in underground bunkers, some so-called wealthy people were trembling. This was the ¡®safe room¡¯ they had spent tens of millions to build.


    Boom! The black cloud directly tore apart the so-called safe room, and the people inside were instantly affected and killed.

    It may seem slow in narration, but it was merely a single encounter.


    Inside the vast Origin Power Array, apart from the ten-kilometer radius centered on Li Yuan, all other areas had collapsed, all buildings were destroyed, all life was slaughtered.


    In one second, more than four million ordinary people were wiped out!


    A bustling city vanished into thin air.


    This was the clash of Demigods! Their fights were like the collisions of actual nuclear weapons.


    A single Demigod, given enough time, and if unobstructed, could destroy the entire planet.


    ¡°Damn it.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold. Even though he had anticipated this, seeing this scene still made it hard to suppress the killing intent in his heart.


    Why didn¡¯t he hide just now?


    It was because he realized that once he fled, then not one of the millions of people in the city center would survive.


    ¡°Demigod-level Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the Alien Race Demigods! Three of them.¡± Li Yuan had already sensed the presence of the three great Demigods.


    Just now, they used Divine Artifacts to conceal themselves and were too distant, beyond the range of his Divine Sense, so Li Yuan couldn¡¯t detect them.


    Now that they had erupted, he could naturally sense them, though vaguely.


    ¡°Little Ice, I¡¯ve encountered a Demigod. Come quickly. The coordinates are¡­¡± Li Yuan immediately communicated to Liu Bing through soul transmission.


    ¡°Sang Qiu Demigod, Alien Race Demigods have appeared, there are three of them, the coordinates are¡­¡± Li Yuan also immediately transmitted the message to Sang Qiu Demigod.


    At the same time, he passed the information to the higher echelons of the Seven Star Civilization as soon as possible.


    Three Demigods posed an extremely great threat.


    ¡°Sister, I need your help. Try to get as many people as possible from this area into the Cave Heaven Treasure. Can you do that?¡± Li Yuan transmitted directly to Gu You.


    Killing the enemy Demigods was the top priority.


    Killing one Demigod had better effects than slaughtering hundreds of millions of ordinary people.


    But once the protective domain was lost, the millions of people still alive in the Origin Power Array would undoubtedly die¡­ Li Yuan naturally couldn¡¯t bear to see this happen.


    ¡°I need some time.¡±


    ¡°Besides, once you do this, you won¡¯t be able to keep the fact that you have a Cave Heaven Treasure a secret anymore,¡± Gu You transmitted back instantly, ¡°A Cave Heaven Treasure is at least a Pseudo-God Artifact, and one of the particularly valuable kind.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡±


    ¡°Even if the Alien Race knows, they can¡¯t do anything to me,¡± Li Yuan said calmly, ¡°And within our civilization, no one would dare covet my treasure.¡±


    He had many secrets that couldn¡¯t be exposed before because he wasn¡¯t strong enough.


    Now? Having achieved Flying Heaven and after nearly two years of Concealed Cultivation, Li Yuan had enough confidence in his own strength¡­ If he wasn¡¯t confident, he wouldn¡¯t dare to use himself as bait while patrolling this area.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    A sphere emerged on Li Yuan¡¯s back, bursting forth with dazzling light. It was the Ancient Divine Palace in all its might, its intangible light permeating into every part of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, covering the millions of ordinary people in the area, as well as a large number of Origin Martial Artists.


    And the nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Hum~¡± ¡°Hum~¡± The millions of ordinary people were almost instantly transferred away, taken into the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ As a ¡®True God Instrument¡¯, the Ancient Divine Palace contained vast areas, temporarily accommodating millions of ordinary people was not difficult.


    Only those Flying Heaven warriors possessed great strength; even the Ancient Divine Palace could not forcibly move them.


    ¡°Don¡¯t resist.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t resist,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s urgent voice echoed simultaneously in the minds of more than a dozen Flying Heaven warriors. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s the voice of Star Master Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°It must be a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Has the hostile Demigod made their move?¡± The Flying Heaven warriors, sensing the vast might of the Origin Power Array far beyond their imagination, immediately ceased resistance.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The clash lasted only a few seconds, and as Li Yuan completed the transmission for help, he had already teleported all those within his domain into the Ancient Divine Palace,


    And in passing, slaughtered all of the Alien Race¡¯s Flying Heaven.


    At this moment,


    Demigod Pu Yang, Demigod Sang Qiu, and Demigod Suhaer, after their initial shock, were fully mobilizing the Origin Power Array and each offered up their lethal divine artifacts.


    They, the three of them, had been bestowed with plenty of treasures for cultivation breakthroughs, as well as many Semi Divine Artifacts to form the foundation of the Origin Power Array.


    The most valuable of which were three Divine Artifacts each.


    One artifact was used to construct the Origin Power Array, whose might would grow stronger as their own strength increased.


    Another artifact was a Protective Battle Armor.


    The last artifact was a lethal divine artifact, capable of directly unleashing its power in combination with the Origin Power Array.


    ¡°Condense!¡± Sang Qiu pointed from afar, and vast clouds of darkness converged to form a hundred-zhang-tall body coated with flowing water.


    The body exuded a majestic aura, resembling that of a true Demigod.


    This was the Origin Power Dharma Body, which Sang Qiu Demigod had refined using the Origin Power Array in combination with a Divine Artifact. It was much stronger than a standard Demigod¡¯s refined ¡®Origin Power Dharma Body¡¯ and was even more powerful than Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s own self.


    And it required her full attention to control.


    Whoosh!


    A Divine Bow appeared in the hands of the Origin Power Dharma Body, which was drawn immediately, instigating a terrifying fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Origin Power that formed a dazzling arrow on the bow.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    The terrifying arrow shot out instantly towards Li Yuan.


    This spectacle drew the attention of Demigods Pu Yang and Suhaer, who had also condensed Origin Power Dharma Bodies using the Formation, though their Dharma Bodies carried close-combat divine artifacts and had yet to get close to Li Yuan.


    A brilliant streak of light shot across the sky.


    Bolstered by the dark clouds, its might surged, its speed skyrocketed, and in almost the blink of an eye, it spanned over ten kilometers to penetrate the domain under Li Yuan¡¯s control.


    ¡°Roar~¡± A Yellow Dragon roared as it met the arrow.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The formidable arrow pierced through the head of the Yellow Dragon. Despite the arrow¡¯s might dwindling under the suppression of layered earthy-yellow currents, it continued its frenzied attack towards Li Yuan.


    The five-kilometer domain was breached in the blink of an eye, several times faster than a Demigod¡¯s speed in movement.


    ¡°Has it reached him?¡±


    ¡°Could it injure Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°It should!¡±


    ¡°Sang Qiu¡¯s arrow is as mighty as that of a level 43 Demigod¡¯s attack,¡± Demigods Pu Yang and Sang Qiu observed this scene.


    In the void,


    ¡°An arrow?¡±


    ¡°Is it a divine artifact attack?¡± Li Yuan, sensing the might contained within the arrow, did not dare to take it lightly.


    Whoosh! In Li Yuan¡¯s hand appeared a pitch-black Long Spear, emanating a sharp aura.


    It was starkly different from the Semi Divine Artifact he¡¯d used before.


    It was a Divine Spear called ¡®Black Moon¡¯ that Li Yuan had acquired from the Seven Stars Treasury a year earlier for twenty Fangshen Crystals, a fairly ordinary Divine Long Spear but still infinitely more potent than any Semi Divine Artifact.


    Of course,


    Li Yuan had naturally renamed the Divine Long Spear to ¡®Black Chen Spear¡¯.


    It was his habit.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± With a thrust of his spear, surging Origin Power was channeled, instantly drawing upon the immense Mysteries of True Intent of both Metal and Wind.


    Boundary Cloud Spear technique¡¯s first move¡ªPiercing Cloud.


    The Divine Bow¡¯s arrow was fast, but Li Yuan¡¯s Long Spear Burst Speed was even faster. The terrifying Spear Light met the arrow head-on in the void.


    The arrow exploded! Countless streams of water surged.


    The Spear Light dissolved, and the dreadful shockwave from its dispersal forced Li Yuan in the void to retreat two steps backward.


    However,


    The slight impact that passed through his domain and struck the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor hardly caused Li Yuan any harm.


    ¡°An attack with the might of a Middle Rank Demigod?¡± Li Yuan inwardly marveled, ¡°This arrow lacks mystery, yet its power is so formidable? Is it because of the Formation? Or the Divine Artifact?¡±


    This indicated that the force unleashed by the adversary was fundamentally very strong, surpassing their own.


    To this, Li Yuan was not surprised¡ªhe was ultimately only at level 38.9. Although he had employed the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, his base strength was only equivalent to that of an ordinary level 42 Demigod.


    ¡°These three Alien Race Demigods came well-prepared,¡± Li Yuan remained on high alert in his heart, ¡°If those initial rank Demigod powerhouses were to encounter them, they might very well be in peril.¡±

 Chapter 668: 363 Enlighten! Mysteries of the Law

    Chapter 668: Chapter 363 Enlighten! Mysteries of the Law


    Only after colliding twice in combat, the strength that Li Yuan revealed had already far surpassed the imaginations of the three Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Domain, capable of resisting the impact of the Origin Power Array.


    Attack, able to clash with the arrows of Sang Qiu¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body¡¯s Divine Bow without falling short, and Li Yuan¡¯s body could easily withstand such impacts.


    This kind of strength, even for a Flying Heaven Warrior, clearly belonged to a powerful Demigod.


    ¡°He¡¯s too monstrous.¡±


    ¡°His Spear Technique cultivation, it should have reached the Semi-Divine Middle Rank,¡± Sang Qiu urgently transmitted, ¡°But his power is even stronger, feels to me like it could be comparable to a Demigod, his Origin Power likely has been cultivated to level 37, or even level 37.9.¡±


    ...


    Level 37.9?


    Demigod Pu Yang and Suhaer felt a chill in their hearts, what kind of monstrous genius was this? How could his Origin Power be cultivated so quickly?


    In theory, even if the higher-ups of the Seven Star Civilization sanctioned treasures to aid cultivation¡­


    It shouldn¡¯t have broken through so quickly in such a short time.


    ¡°Sang Qiu, keep attacking.¡± Demigod Pu Yang gritted his teeth, ¡°Suhaer, we must go all out, Li Yuan is too great a threat.¡±


    ¡°They say Fang Hai of the Seven Star Civilization is formidable, but how long has this Li Yuan been cultivating? His strength, I estimate it¡¯s almost catching up to Fang Hai before his breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°If we let him continue to grow, we can forget about ever returning to our homeland.¡± Demigod Pu Yang urgently transmitted.


    Suhaer didn¡¯t speak again, but his actions were clear enough, controlling his Dharma Body, he dashed across layers of dark clouds, charging towards Li Yuan in the center of the Origin Power Array.


    Boom!


    Demigod Pu Yang also mobilized the power of the Origin Power Array, gathering it into a Dharma Body and charged towards Li Yuan.


    The three Demigods finally erupted simultaneously.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    ¡°Whoosh! Whoosh!¡± Sang Qiu¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body stood in the distance, the Divine Bow bent, arrows like flowing water, with terrifying might, attacking Li Yuan time after time.


    ¡°Clang! Clang! Clang!¡± Li Yuan, holding the Divine Spear, easily blocked those arrows, and even by using his superior movement technique, directly dodged several arrows.


    Attacking from a distance indeed keeps one safe.


    But the downside is that the farther the distance, the harder it is to control, and flexibility often decreases as well.


    ¡°Li Yuan, die!¡±


    Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body charged in as well, his Dharma Body towering, surrounded by dark clouds, with a momentum that pierced the heavens, he directly entered the range of Li Yuan¡¯s Domain, holding a giant Combat Saber, and slashed towards Li Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    A terrifying arc of saber light swept across the vast sky, where it passed, the surging earthy yellow currents were instantly split open¡­ this might, was much more terrifying than the arrows of Demigod Sang Qiu.


    Even though Li Yuan¡¯s Domain burst forth with all its might, it still couldn¡¯t completely suppress it.


    ¡°Go!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure flashed, the Black Chen Spear suddenly thrust forward, like a gust of wind, the spear tip directly grazed past the back of Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Combat Saber.


    This was not a head-on clash, but a lateral collision.


    With one collision, the Combat Saber was directly deflected, and then, Li Yuan¡¯s figure flickered, easily dodging this terrifyingly mighty saber.


    ¡°How did he block it?¡± Demigod Pu Yang was shocked.


    ¡°What a heavy saber.¡±


    ¡°This spear of mine, it can¡¯t completely unravel his Sword Technique? His Sword Technique cultivation is on the same level as mine, already reaching the Seventh Stage,¡± Li Yuan also immediately judged, ¡°This bald brute, has he stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth? He¡¯s indeed a lot more formidable than that archer.¡±


    In a head-to-head clash, Li Yuan felt that his Spear Technique might was inferior to his opponent.


    However, purely in terms of maneuvers¡¯ agility, Li Yuan surpassed his opponent.


    In such a clash at the Demigod level, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t seeking to win over his opponent at the moment, just to hold him off was enough.


    Demigods Liu Bing and General Mu had already responded.


    It would take General Mu over an hour to arrive, probably too late¡­ but Liu Bing, bursting forth at full speed, could arrive in just six minutes.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Demigod Pu Yang roared furiously, and suddenly another slash of saber light emerged from the void, furiously slashing towards Li Yuan.


    This saber strike was swift and ferocious.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Nine Yellow Dragons roared, followed by another bizarre and unpredictable thrust of the spear, directly grazing the blade of the saber from the side, seemingly perilous but cunningly shifting the direction of Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s saber once again.


    ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    ¡°Is his Spear Technique so agile?¡± Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s heart was anxious, the more he fought with Li Yuan, the more he understood about him, and the less courage he had in his heart.


    ¡°Clang! Boom! Boom!¡± The lightning-fast exchanges between the two, even with Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s fierce attacks and the assistance of Demigod Sang Qiu¡¯s arrows, their offensive might was definitely ferocious.


    Having the absolute upper hand, yet they simply couldn¡¯t take down Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was too mysterious, too unfathomable.


    ¡°The ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear,¡¯ truly deserving as the most suitable Spear Technique legacy for me, found among the many Spear Technique legacies left by Elder Qiu,¡± Li Yuan felt incredibly exhilarated.


    You see, Elder Qiu Bingzun left Li Yuan many legacy teachings, with hundreds of sets at the True God level, and even nearly a dozen at the Heavenly Divine level¡­ and ultimately Li Yuan chose the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear.¡±


    Why? Because this Spear Technique legacy was too suitable for Li Yuan.


    The first six techniques, perfectly merging the Mystery of Earth and Wind Laws, coincidentally aligned with the wind direction Li Yuan was studying.


    The first technique ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ is the foundation of the nine techniques, emphasizing agility and variability in absolute control.


    The Law of Earth represents absolute control, and the Law of Wind represents agility and variability.


    Together, combined with Li Yuan¡¯s Domain Star Technique, it was a perfect match.


    Over a year ago, when Li Yuan first learned this technique, he wasn¡¯t quite skilled at it, but after such a long period of meticulous research, he had already comprehended the first technique to its extremes.


    The nine techniques of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± representing the nine stages of the True Intent Law, each technique is versatile and even includes the use of movement techniques, though the focus differs slightly.


    The first technique ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ is about agility in control, not very adept in offensive aspects, but it is most suitable for defense and group combat, which is also why Li Yuan was not afraid of group attacks.


    ¡°Battle and slaughter indeed result in rapid progression,¡± Li Yuan remarked as he gained experience from clashing with two demigods.


    Especially the Demigod Pu Yang, whose Sword Technique was domineering and fierce, embodying an unstoppable momentum.


    ¡°My Spear Technique is even more mystical than his Sword Technique.¡±


    ¡°However, in terms of the Earth Vein, I am inferior to him; this individual has stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth, he must be the ¡®Pu Yang¡¯ mentioned in the intelligence,¡± Li Yuan sensed the mystery in the opponent¡¯s Sword Technique and felt stirred inside.


    In the past year, Li Yuan had only occasionally sparred with Liu Bing; most of his time was spent in solitary meditation!


    Cultivation required meditation and contemplation, as well as actual combat for tempering.


    Both were indispensable.


    ¡­


    ¡°Seize him!¡± Suhaer¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body finally approached, wrapped in numerous silver chains which penetrated into the scope of Heaven and Earth, overwhelming and aiming to completely bind Li Yuan.


    But Li Yuan, despite the God Locks rushing towards him, merely continued to engage with Demigod Pu Yang as if unaware of them.


    ¡°Humph, you don¡¯t dodge facing my Void God Lock?¡± Suhaer sneered, ¡°This Divine Artifact of mine, albeit faintly integrated with the Origin Power Array, has extraordinary might; once you are trapped, even a true Demigod would struggle to escape.¡±


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh¡ªsix silver God Locks swooped down, attempting to suppress Li Yuan.


    These God Locks were exceedingly agile.


    Yet the moment they were about to touch Li Yuan, he who stood firm in the void, suddenly split into nine, like a phantom, instantly dodging Suhaer¡¯s all-out strike.


    He also avoided the coordinated attack of Demigods Pu Yang and Sang Qiu.


    ¡°Your chains are too slow,¡± the nine Li Yuans spoke simultaneously.


    Seventh Layer Star Technique¡ªNine Shadows Clone.


    ¡°This easily, you dodged my Divine Artifact¡¯s attack?¡± Suhaer found it hard to believe, ¡°Even with Shadow Clones, it shouldn¡¯t be so easy!¡±


    Had Li Yuan struck with a weapon and then blocked the entwining chains, he could have accepted it.


    But to dodge everything with a mere flash?


    What kind of control was this?


    ¡°Not right!¡± Demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body suddenly roared, eyes filled with terror, ¡°Something¡¯s wrong!¡±


    He had been clashing with Li Yuan and suddenly perceived a rapid change in the domain¡¯s might.


    Strands of earthy yellow airflow, their might surging.


    Within the domain, the previously unkillable nine Yellow Dragons were also growing stronger.


    This was bad!


    ¡°It¡¯s the Law of Earth! He has stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth, retreat!¡± Demigod Pu Yang urgently conveyed, ¡°Merging with the True Meaning of Wind, his strength must be nearing the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    Boom!


    Demigod Pu Yang was the first to sense the crisis and tried to make his Origin Power Dharma Body flee.


    The Origin Power Dharma Body was carrying Divine Artifacts.


    ¡°What? Nearing Semi-Divine Peak strength?¡± Suhaer was also startled; the disparity in strength among demigods was quite apparent.


    During the previous clash, the strength Li Yuan demonstrated was merely at level 42, mostly just stronger self-preservation abilities.


    How could he suddenly be nearing the Semi-Divine Peak?


    ¡°Pu Yang, I must thank you.¡±


    ¡°Without your Sword Technique to inspire me, I might have needed more time before stepping into the Threshold of the Law of Earth,¡± Li Yuan spoke in a deep voice. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before the crisis on Lantie Star erupted, Li Yuan¡¯s comprehension of the True Meaning of Earth had reached the Sixth Stage limit, ready to step into the Threshold of the Law of Earth at any moment.


    First, twenty days of constant Slaughter, which continuously stirred Li Yuan¡¯s heart as if he was undergoing repeated purifications, becoming ever more pure.


    The key, however, was today, starting with observing the Origin Power Array and finally clashing with Pu Yang, the Earth System Demigod.


    At last, he made this step.


    Origin Power breakthrough, cultivation of Star Techniques required a lot of time, not achievable overnight¡­ but the breakthrough in Law Comprehension was accomplished in one go.


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave no one behind.¡± The nine Li Yuans simultaneously moved, lightning-fast as they closed in on Suhaer¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body.


    ¡°Boom rumble~~¡± The might of ¡®Heaven and Earth River,¡¯ which covered a ten-kilometer range, fully erupted with the domain enhancing the nine Yellow Dragons, their might roaring to new heights, each of them ascending to the level of a Demigod.


    Like nine level 40 Demigods striking, they howled as they attacked Suhaer.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± Nine dazzling Spear Lights also simultaneously blossomed, engulfing Suhaer from all directions, containing Li Yuan¡¯s genuine Spear Technique attack.


    As the Spear Light swept across, its formidable might was simply unimaginable, tearing open the void like refined stars, immediately shredding it.


    Boundary Cloud Spear, Second Form¡ªSplitting Star!


    Li Yuan had continually studied the second form of Boundary Cloud Spear but had yet to master it; however, at the moment he entered the Threshold of the Law of Earth, filled with a murderous intent, he naturally executed it.


    While the first form ¡®Piercing Cloud¡¯ was oriented towards agile Defense, the second form ¡®Splitting Star¡¯ was sheer aggressive attack, aiming for two characters: ¡®fierce ferocity.¡¯


    ¡°This spear?¡± Demigod Pu Yang was terrified.


    He felt the terrifying might contained in this spear; he wanted to save Suhaer¡¯s Dharma Body, but under the suppression of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, he was simply too slow.


    ¡°This is bad,¡± Demigod Sang Qiu was even more anxious, fully manipulating the Origin Power Dharma Body, shooting out a dazzling arrow hoping to restrain Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    The arrow, traveling through the earth-colored airflow, lost its might sharply, eventually striking those Spear Lights, but only managed to shatter three; it hardly made any difference.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Six Spear Lights, nine Yellow Dragons howled, fifteen strikes simultaneously bombarding Suhaer¡¯s Origin Power Dharma Body, which disintegrated layer by layer, directly annihilated in an instant.


    In a single confrontation.


    A Demigod¡¯s Dharma Body, refined by Divine Artifacts and Origin Power Array, was directly obliterated.


    This sight deeply shocked the three demigods.

 Chapter 669: 364 Demigod Falls

    Chapter 669: Chapter 364 Demigod Falls


    You should know, the three demigods had just broken through.


    As 40th rank demigods, their Battle Star Techniques hadn¡¯t yet reached the Fourth Rank Limit; therefore, the Dharma Bodies they formed through the Origin Power Array were stronger than their own.


    Otherwise, even with the Divine Bow, demigod Sang Qiu wouldn¡¯t have been able to burst forth with the power of the 43rd rank.


    He relied on the Origin Power Array.


    However, compared to their true selves, the Dharma Bodies had one fatal weakness: they didn¡¯t have enough vitality.


    Even so, the might of Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique made the three demigods¡¯ courage falter.


    ...


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat!¡± demigod Sang Qiu urgently transmitted, ¡°His attack is at least at the 44th rank standard, and it may even be 45th rank!!¡±


    From the 42nd rank to the 44th rank, all are considered Semi-Divine Middle Rank, but the difference in strength was very clear.


    ¡°We can¡¯t kill Li Yuan now.¡±


    ¡°We can retreat, but we must take the Divine Artifacts with us; they are our foundation.¡± Suhaer¡¯s true self manipulated the Divine Artifact Chains.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    After his Dharma Body dispersed, a silver God Lock shot through like a streak of silver light, still trying to flee beyond the boundary of the Heaven and Earth River Domain.


    ¡°Come here, you.¡± Li Yuan stretched out one hand, instantly drawing upon the powerful Power of Heaven and Earth, gathering the Domain to form a terrifying giant palm that grasped one end of the silver chain from the void.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Two Yellow Dragons roared angrily, striking the silver chains almost simultaneously, completely dispersing the last trace of demigod Origin Power within them¡­ The Divine Artifact completely lost the ability to resist.


    ¡°Take.¡±


    Li Yuan gave a fierce tug, a ray of light emerged behind him, and he had already put away the Divine Artifact Chains.


    It was received within the Cave Heaven Treasure ¡®Ancient Divine Palace¡¯, where he could later slowly break through its internal Spiritual Imprint until it was fully refined.


    ¡°This suppression was so quick?¡± Demigod Pu Yang, standing aside, was shocked, hastily attempting to flee.


    He had already escaped a distance and looked to be about to break free from the Domain range.


    ¡°Kill.¡± Li Yuan, after suppressing the Divine Artifact, howled and charged toward demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body.


    Nine Phantom Bodies alternated, like nine specters, charging over like lightning.


    Within the Domain, Li Yuan¡¯s strength and speed were all comprehensively boosted, while the enemy was completely suppressed.


    In an instant, Li Yuan had caught up. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°His Spear Technique has broken through, but killing me won¡¯t be easy,¡± demigod Pu Yang still held confidence.


    In the close combat with Li Yuan just now, he had an absolute advantage. It was only Li Yuan¡¯s flexible Spear Technique and strong defense that made his Sword Technique repeatedly fall short.


    This time, demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body once again brandished the Combat Saber, attempting to block Li Yuan.


    ¡°Whirr, whirr, whirr~¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique had completely changed, nine Li Yuans interweaved, a flurry of Spear Light confused demigod Pu Yang, making him frantic and disoriented.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Shadow Clones each had thirty percent of his combat power, just without the enhancement of Divine Artifacts.


    The key was the might of the Spear Technique, ferocious and wild.


    There was an essential difference from the previous Spear Technique.


    The might from the first to the second form of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± underwent qualitative change.


    ¡°Boom~ Boom~ Boom~¡± In a lightning-like dozen exchanges, demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body was forced back, his Combat Saber completely thrown out of his grasp.


    ¡°Annihilate.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s killing intent soared to the skies, nine Spear Lights converged with nine Yellow Dragons, like a roaring, surging river, an overwhelming assault, bombarding demigod Pu Yang¡¯s Dharma Body.


    In the blink of an eye.


    He was blasted to pieces.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So dominant?¡± Suhaer and Sang Qiu Demigod were all shocked. Li Yuan¡¯s burst of strength was terrifyingly overwhelming.


    Even with a breakthrough, he shouldn¡¯t be this strong.


    What they didn¡¯t know was that Li Yuan, in his initial engagement with them, even with a burst of power couldn¡¯t win, so he had hidden some of his strength, only displaying the All Things Divine Body and the two great Star Techniques of Heaven and Earth River.


    Even then, they had considered him not inferior to Fang Hai of bygone years.


    Had he used ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± at that time, Li Yuan¡¯s strength would have been even more terrifying, and he could have dealt with their encirclement more comfortably.


    Suddenly grasping a deeper level of the Law of Earth.


    Li Yuan not only directly comprehended the second form of ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± the Heaven and Earth River Domain, but the might of the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor Divine Artifact also grew immensely¡­ giving Li Yuan absolute confidence in winning against them.


    Naturally, he erupted all at once!


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Li Yuan controlled the Domain, directly suppressing that tossed away Divine Artifact Combat Saber, taking it into the Cave Heaven Treasure.


    ¡°Die, all of you.¡±


    Li Yuan put away the Combat Saber, his speed unabated, directly pouncing toward the edge of the Origin Power Array, where he sensed one of the true bodies of the demigods ¨C demigod Pu Yang.


    Among the three Alien Race demigods, demigod Pu Yang was the strongest, and naturally, Li Yuan most wanted to eliminate him.


    ¡°We can¡¯t hold back anymore.¡±


    ¡°His strength is probably not inferior to the 45th rank, he can be considered at the Semi-Divine Peak.¡± Suhaer urgently transmitted, ¡°Run.¡±


    Perhaps Li Yuan wasn¡¯t as strong as a 45th rank in terms of attack, but his Domain and Shadow Clone techniques made his level of threat no less than a Semi-Divine Peak Expert.


    ¡°Run!¡± With one thought in his mind, Sang Qiu Demigod packed up the Divine Bow, and his Dharma Body directly dispersed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The three Alien Race demigods, in a state of panic, chose to rush out from three separate Formation Bases of the Origin Power Array¡­


    ¡°Seal.¡± Demigod Pu Yang had a thought, and the Origin Power Array, covering dozens of kilometers with billowing black clouds, furiously struck toward Li Yuan, trying to block his path.


    In a bid for survival.


    The three demigods didn¡¯t dare to take back the Origin Power Array; three Divine Artifacts and seventy-two Semi Divine Artifacts were left behind.


    As long as they could delay Li Yuan a little longer, each could escape hundreds of kilometers, hide their presence, and potentially escape with their lives.

 Chapter 670: 364 Demigod Fall_2

    Chapter 670: Chapter 364 Demigod Fall_2


    ¡°An unattended Origin Power Array, and you think it can stop my movements?¡±


    ¡°You three are so naive.¡± Sensing the presence of three Semi-Divine beings, Li Yuan charged with his Domain to the edge of the Origin Power Array and bellowed, ¡°Open for me!!¡±


    Spear Light blossomed, accompanied by the convergence of nine dragons, all striking towards one direction of the array.


    Boom~


    The incredibly resilient Origin Power Array was instantly torn apart by Li Yuan, the heavens and earth changed colors, and the mightily imposing Li Yuan directly rushed towards the still not far-escaped Semi-Divine Pu Yang.


    ¡°What?¡± Pu Yang¡¯s pupils shrank, he wanted to flee desperately, but his foundation and realm were inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s, and he hadn¡¯t cultivated the Escaping Method Star Technique¡­ How could he possibly escape from Li Yuan?


    ...


    In a blink, Li Yuan¡¯s speed soared to ten kilometers per second!


    Considering just the flight speed, Li Yuan was close to many Semi-Divine Peak Experts, far surpassing Semi-Divine Pu Yang.


    In just seven or eight seconds, Li Yuan caught up to him.


    ¡°Li Yuan, spare my life, I am willing to surrender,¡± transmitted Pu Yang urgently, while simultaneously pulling out a Semi-Divine Combat Saber, attempting one final resistance.


    ¡°Perish.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were like torches, an invisible wave of soul energy, ferocious like a torrent, slammed towards Pu Yang.


    Bang~!


    It was a terrifying collision.


    Soul Secret Technique ¡°Mind Soul¡±!


    It was impossible to use the Soul Secret Technique on the three Semi-Divine beings from a distance when dealing with the Origin Power Dharma Body, but now that he was close, it was feasible.


    Pu Yang and the other three had only recently broken through after their bodies had transformed and, though their souls had reached Semi-Divine level through a treasure bestowed by the Eastern Demon Deity, their willpower had not yet broken through.


    In short, regarding soul defense, they were almost the weakest among the Semi-Divines.


    And Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack was one of the very top amongst the Semi-Divines, under its overwhelming assault, it left Pu Yang¡¯s mind reeling, his consciousness wavering.


    ¡°Wake up.¡±


    ¡°Wake up.¡± Pu Yang struggled, his gaze almost instantly regaining clarity.


    He was just about to use his Sword Technique to defend when¡ª


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s nine avatars attacked simultaneously, like Divine Dragons tearing through the Vast Sky, causing the void itself to tremble with their might, directly quenching Pu Yang¡¯s last resistance, sending him flying.


    Blood sprayed.


    The Semi-Divine Combat Saber he had just pulled out was also completely blasted away.


    ¡°Does the original body have a protective Divine Artifact?¡± Li Yuan felt the strong life force from the opponent, capable of withstanding the attack.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Another two rounds of ferocious attacks, and Pu Yang¡¯s body was utterly annihilated, devoid of any capacity to resist.


    Pu Yang, dead!


    Without the enhancing Origin Power Array, the three alien Semi-Divines were just newly advanced Semi-Divines¡­ Even though Pu Yang, having stepped into the Threshold of the Law, had a combat force roughly equivalent to level 41, it was merely trivial in front of Li Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan waved his hand to collect the treasure left by Pu Yang and then transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Suhaer, who had fled nearly a hundred kilometers away.


    At the same time¡ª


    ¡°Little Ice! One of the Alien Race Semi-Divines has fled towards your approach direction, her current coordinates are¡­ her flying speed is¡­ her flight path is¡­¡± Li Yuan transmitted to Liu Bing via soul.


    The three Semi-Divines were all fleeing for their lives in different directions, even if Li Yuan was powerful, he couldn¡¯t catch them all.


    However¡ª


    Liu Bing was on her way, and knowing the exact location and speed, there was still a chance she could intercept.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan was much faster than Suhaer.


    Even though Suhaer burrowed into the earth, the Power of Heaven and Earth stirred by his full-speed flight wouldn¡¯t dissipate quickly, naturally unable to evade Li Yuan.


    Boom~! After a more than three hundred kilometers underground chase, Li Yuan finally caught up with Suhaer.


    ¡°He¡¯s caught up?¡± Suhaer¡¯s heart was filled with despair, ¡°This Li Yuan, clearly only in the Flying Heaven Realm, why is his strength so terrifying? Even Pu Yang fell in a single confrontation, and I am weaker¡­ there is no hope at all.¡±


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have come.¡±


    ¡°Kill Li Yuan? This Li Yuan is clearly bait, luring us into the trap,¡± Suhaer sighed internally.


    But he understood, even knowing it was bait, he had to bite.


    After all, if the Myriad Demons Civilization were to lose their three semi-divine beings, it wouldn¡¯t hurt them much, but if they could kill Li Yuan, that would be a great gain.


    Boom~


    The surging earthy yellow airflow, like a river, instantly submerged Suhaer.


    The nine Yellow Dragons roared as they swiftly charged at Suhaer, each possessing terrifying might, with strengths close to that of Suhaer himself¡­ It could be said that Li Yuan, with just his domain skills, could directly kill Suhaer.


    ¡°Only in Flying Heaven, yet his power is so terrifying,¡± Suhaer sighed internally, no longer struggling, as he looked towards Li Yuan who approached through layers of flowing light, ¡°This Li Yuan, in the future might be even more terrifying than Dongfang Ji, he is so young¡­ ascending to god is easy for him.¡±


    ¡°East Demon, this fool.¡±


    ¡°I am going to die, it¡¯s just sad for my kinsfolk back home,¡± Suhaer¡¯s eyes dimmed.


    Forced to come to the Seven Star Civilization, always following orders, largely because his loved ones back home were held hostage.


    In his mind, he believed he could fully cultivate to the Semi-Divine Peak in the Seven Stars Plane and even if he couldn¡¯t ascend to god, there was hope to leave the Seven Stars Plane¡­ to enter the space rifts among planes.


    Then, there was also hope for him to return home.


    Unfortunately, now all was lost.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°He didn¡¯t attack me?¡± Suhaer suddenly felt the turbulent airflow around him, merely binding him, while the Yellow Dragons surrounded him without attacking.


    Li Yuan stood amidst the Heaven and Earth River, his aura mighty.


    ¡°Alien, I offer you a chance at life,¡± Li Yuan looked down at Suhaer.


    ¡°A chance at life?¡± Suhaer was shocked, then sneered, ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t bother deceiving me, if you want to kill me, kill me, since I¡¯ve come to the Seven Stars Plane, I am not afraid of death.¡±


    ¡°Not afraid to die?¡± Li Yuan laughed, ¡°Did you really come willingly to the Seven Star Civilization?¡±


    ¡°Of course,¡± Suhaer said.


    ¡°I have a technique, I can impose a restriction in your soul, if you betray me, I can easily kill you,¡± Li Yuan spoke softly, ¡°But if you obey my commands, I naturally won¡¯t kill you.¡±


    ¡°Soul Restriction?¡± Suhaer immediately sneered, ¡°You mean Soul Control, right? Do you really think I¡¯m an idiot, unaware of these dark methods?¡±


    ¡°Your Soul Realm is probably close to the Void God Realm, maybe you even practiced some legendary Soul Control techniques, trying to deceive me?¡± Suhaer said grimly, ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t delude yourself.¡±


    Boom!


    Suhaer¡¯s life breath suddenly surged, like a flame that burst forth abruptly.


    ¡°Self-detonation?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed slightly and he swiftly retreated backwards.


    Boom~


    Suhaer¡¯s body exploded thunderously, and the mighty Origin Power contained within the Sea of Origin Power wildly blasted in all directions¡­ but under the suppression of Li Yuan¡¯s domain, the impact radius wasn¡¯t large, and it didn¡¯t cause any harm to Li Yuan.


    ¡°These aliens, they are fiercely unyielding,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°To become a Heavenly Demon, one needs high insight, enough to guess my methods.¡±

    ¡°Captured?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Good! Little Ice, well done. Bring them and immediately head to Sharp Mountain Bay City. I¡¯ll be waiting for you here.¡±


    Originally, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t held much hope for Liu Bing capturing that fleeing demi-god.


    After all, the earth is vast, and within a region of thousands of kilometers, even with Liu Bing¡¯s incredible speed and the limited range of Divine Sense, the odds of running into them were no more than thirty percent.


    Unexpectedly, the mere two or three percent chance had resulted in Liu Bing¡¯s success.


    ¡°Little Ice, you truly are my lucky general,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    ...


    ¡°Little Ice is about 2,000 kilometers away from me,¡± Li Yuan roughly confirmed the direction, and the connection between their souls allowed him to easily pinpoint each other¡¯s location.


    Boom!


    Transforming into a streak of light, Li Yuan swiftly returned to Sharp Mountain Bay City, hundreds of kilometers away.


    Before he arrived, Li Yuan saw from afar the city still engulfed by the vast, mighty dark clouds, looking like ruins.


    The entire city lay mostly flattened, the surrounding areas also affected, with devastating casualties.


    This scene made Li Yuan sigh inwardly.


    Sharp Mountain Bay City was of the same level as Jiang City, yet in a blink of an eye, it had met such a fate.


    Although he had breached the Origin Power Array, he hadn¡¯t removed the Formation Base. Therefore, the enormous Origin Power Array was still operational, just inconspicuous without a demi-god overseeing it, and no longer continuously erupting.


    ¡°Logically, such an Origin Power Array is extremely valuable,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But so much time has passed, and the Alien Race hasn¡¯t come to collect the Formation Base Divine Artifact. Could it be that, on Lantie Star, there are only these three from the Alien Race?¡±


    Li Yuan had rushed to Sharp Mountain Bay City primarily to prevent this set of Origin Power Array from being taken away by any ¡®Alien Race Semi-Divine¡¯ that might exist.


    With this Formation, each of the three Initial Rank demi-gods could unleash the power of a mid-stage demi-god, and had even trapped Li Yuan before his breakthrough. One could imagine the value of this Origin Power Array.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan stood in the void, overlooking the area below, releasing his presence without restraint. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Over a dozen streaks of light flew towards him, all Flying Heaven Warriors who had received the message during the past few minutes and rushed over.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Star Master.¡± The dozen or so Flying Heaven Warriors greeted him respectfully, each one deeply shocked.


    Although they did not know the specifics of the battle, the virtual network¡¯s ¡®global system¡¯ had many alerts indicating a Demi-God battle, with an Alien Race demi-god appearing.


    By the time they arrived and just saw the dark clouds rolling within the huge Origin Power Array, they couldn¡¯t help but feel their hearts pound.


    Then, they saw Li Yuan appear, but there were no Alien Race demi-gods in sight.


    Without a doubt, Li Yuan must have won.


    ¡°It¡¯s safe now,¡± Li Yuan declared, sweeping his gaze across them, then with a thought¡­


    Whoosh¡ªIn the palm of his hand emerged a dazzling light, followed by an intangible wave sweeping across, revealing countless figures suddenly appearing on the wasteland several kilometers away.


    Millions of them.


    There were old people and children, many martial artists, and some barely clothed¡­ of course, there were also the nearly twenty Flying Heaven Warriors that Li Yuan had earlier taken in.


    The millions of ordinary people were somewhat dazed, to them, everything had just happened minutes ago.


    It was definitely a dreamlike experience.


    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±


    ¡°Who are they?¡± The rescue Flying Heaven Warriors were astonished at this divine skill.


    A wave of a hand, and millions of people appeared out of nowhere?


    ¡°When I was engaging with the three Alien Race demi-gods, I could only barely save these people,¡± Li Yuan said somberly. ¡°Many more couldn¡¯t be saved¡­ They are now homeless. You all need to take care of the aftermath.¡±


    Three Alien Race demi-gods?


    The group of Flying Heaven Warriors was taken aback, but still responded respectfully, ¡°Yes, we follow the Star Master¡¯s command.¡±


    There¡¯s a difference between a star master and a Star Master.


    Undoubtedly, in their hearts, although Li Yuan was in the Flying Heaven Realm, he was already no different from a true demigod.


    Not long after.


    Swoosh!


    A massive cyan streak of light crossed the sky, vast and imposing.


    Amidst the awe-filled gazes of the warriors, the light dissipated, revealing Liu Bing¡¯s beautiful body, huge and glistening, with abdominal claws making it resemble the mythical Azure Dragon, albeit without the dragon horns and whiskers.


    ¡°Heaven Snake form,¡± Li Yuan noted to himself, understanding this was Little Ice¡¯s disguise, resembling an ordinary Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, and if it were truly a Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, there would be some changes in the scales and head.


    ¡°Greetings, Divine Snake.¡±


    ¡°Divine Snake.¡± The more than thirty Flying Heaven Warriors all bowed respectfully, and the millions below held their breath as they watched.


    After days of great battles, the whole Lantie Star, even ordinary people, had come to know the names of Li Yuan and the Divine Snake.


    ¡°Big brother.¡±


    ¡°The Alien Race demi-god is here,¡± Liu Bing communicated, and with a flash of light before her, a figure materialized: beautiful, dressed in white, with a stature over two meters, two curved horns on her forehead, and exuding an immensely powerful aura.


    However, at this moment, she looked quite disheveled, her body faintly bound by a cyan rope.


    ¡°A demi-god?¡±


    ¡°An Alien Race demi-god?¡± The present Flying Heaven Warriors were stunned, their view of Liu Bing entirely altered.


    The Divine Snake, had captured an Alien Race demi-god?


    ¡°Do you go by Sang Qiu?¡± Li Yuan addressed the Alien Race demi-god softly, ¡°I¡¯m sure you understand, don¡¯t resist me.¡±


    On the way here, Liu Bing had shared the preliminary information she had gathered with Li Yuan.


    ¡°Little Ice, you stay here and guard this large array,¡± Li Yuan commanded through their connection.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan leaped forward, grabbing hold of the Sang Qiu Demigod, and soon the two rushed towards the distant dark clouds, quickly vanishing from everyone¡¯s sight.

 Chapter 672: 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_2

    Chapter 672: Chapter 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_2


    ¡°Is Li Yuan, the Star Master, alright?¡±


    ¡°Did he enter the Origin Power Array alone with a Demigod?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that dangerous?¡± Many Flying Heaven Warriors grew anxious, even casting worried glances at Liu Bing.


    In their view, this was a Demigod, who, even though captured, should be handled with care.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    ¡°Three Alien Race Demigods, the other two stronger ones were slain by the master, leaving only the weakest one.¡± Liu Bing glanced at them, ¡°Go about your business.¡±


    ...


    This was a clear suggestion from Qiu Bingzun; publicly, Liu Bing was a ¡®regular Heaven Snake¡¯ and also Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast, not tied by a blood pact.


    This way, Liu Bing¡¯s identity could be better disguised.


    Over time, with the passage of time, Liu Bing also desired contact with the outside world and yearned for an identity.


    ¡°What? Star Master Li Yuan has slain two Demigods?¡±


    ¡°Being a Flying Heaven and killing a Demigod?¡± The shock in the hearts of these Flying Heaven Warriors grew: ¡°Another Fang Hai Demigod? How long has it been?¡±


    In their minds, it had only been two years since Li Yuan swept through the Second Level Star Realm, and now he could slay a Demigod?


    Such astonishment was, of course, imaginable.


    ¡°Such a powerful Divine Snake, is it really Star Master Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast?¡± Many Flying Heaven Warriors thought so.


    Subconsciously.


    Many Flying Heaven Warriors began to report up the information they had¡­ Liu Bing didn¡¯t care in the slightest.


    After this battle, the Myriad Demons Civilization would definitely know Li Yuan¡¯s strength, so it didn¡¯t matter if the information leaked out or not.


    ¡­


    Inside the Origin Power Array, dark clouds obscured everything.


    ¡°Sang Qiu Demigod?¡± Li Yuan looked at the completely bound Sang Qiu Demigod and smiled, ¡°I pursued your companions to kill them, and it seemed they were unwilling to submit, why are you willing?¡±


    When chasing the Pu Yang Demigod, the opponent verbally agreed to surrender, but Li Yuan was in a hurry to kill more Demigods, naturally without time for entanglement and directly slew him.


    ¡°They all have many loved ones in their hometowns, naturally they dare not surrender easily, but I have no such burdens, my parents died long ago, leaving only some distant relatives,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said, ¡°Secondly, we have sworn oaths under the Law, we must obey orders.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    Only some distant relatives?


    ¡°Cultivating is not easy, I hope to live, to continue living.¡± Sang Qiu Demigod looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Lord Li Yuan, I actually received a message from Suhaer, saying that you might have cultivated a Soul Control technique, but I don¡¯t care.¡±


    ¡°Soul Control, you don¡¯t care?¡± A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    To become a Demigod, most are of strong will, not easily bowing to become servants.


    Many powerhouses would rather die than submit.


    Without such strong spirits, it is very difficult to grow.


    ¡°I was not highly regarded in the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod spoke somberly, ¡°Had I been valued, I wouldn¡¯t have been sent on this suicide mission.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°If it were to serve as a servant to any other ordinary Demigod, I naturally would not be willing.¡± Sang Qiu Demigod stared at Li Yuan, his eyes shimmering, ¡°But you are different.¡±


    ¡°You have reached the peak strength of a Demigod in less than thirty years, subduing even such a powerful Flying Serpent under you, you might become a True God of legend in the future¡­ To become your servant, perhaps I too can Ascend to God.¡±


    ¡°In the future, I also want to return to the Myriad Demons Civilization and take my revenge,¡± the hatred in Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s eyes flickered.


    Li Yuan understood.


    Everyone is different, even in the Divine Realm, many Pseudo-Gods and True Gods willingly follow the Heavenly Divine¡­ A casual treasure from a Heavenly Divine might be a great opportunity for an ordinary deity.


    It seemed, Sang Qiu Demigod had unfinished ambitions and did not want to die just like this.


    ¡°Very well.¡±


    ¡°I have just cultivated the Soul Secret Technique; if you become the first servant under my command, I will naturally do my best to help you in the future,¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°After all, if you Ascend to God and return to the Myriad Demons Civilization in the future, you will be of the greatest value to me.¡±


    Li Yuan said this.


    All of Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s treasures had been taken by Liu Bing, and by rights he should not be able to send messages back to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ but caution is always prudent, Li Yuan also worried that the other side was trying to extract information in the end.


    ¡°Stop resisting.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t play tricks, you should understand, I can extinguish you with a flip of my palm.¡± Li Yuan still maintained his Body Refining Star Technique, and with a thought, he had already used the Soul Secret Technique ¡°Soul Nine Refinements.¡±


    After the Soul Metamorphosis to the Semi-Divine Level, Li Yuan occasionally pondered over this secret technique. Although he had not cultivated it to the limit of the Semi-Divine chapter, it was much more powerful than back in the Mingxu Star Realm.


    Key, Li Yuan¡¯s own Soul Realm was far beyond that of the past.


    ¡°Sss~¡±


    Invisible Soul Power quickly penetrated into Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s sea of consciousness, gradually deploying the Soul Secret Technique, attempting to take complete control of him.


    ¡°Controlling a Demigod is much more troublesome than controlling a Flying Heaven.¡±


    ¡°It seems it¡¯s going to take some time,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, immersing fully in the enslavement process.


    ¡­


    In the Myriad Demons Civilization, on the Wan Mo Star.


    In the grand and vast Myriad Demons Hall, it was now silent as a graveyard, with all Demigods and Flying Heavens having left.


    In the hall, the previously floating three giant light screen projections had completely stilled. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the screen was the final moment of the three Demigods.


    ¡°East Demon,¡± the Bei Yue Deity¡¯s phantom sighed lightly, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault this time; blame Li Yuan for being too strong.¡±


    The Wan Mo Deity stood in the void, silent.


    Although the two had not personally witnessed the clash between the three Demigods and Li Yuan, they had seen many scenes and a vast amount of text messages¡­ They were very clear about Li Yuan¡¯s strength.

 Chapter 673: 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_3

    Chapter 673: Chapter 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_3


    For a long time.


    ¡°How could Li Yuan¡¯s strength be so formidable?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes were chilly, his fists clenched tightly, ¡°In just two years, he jumped from Prime Warrior to possessing Level 45 strength?¡±


    ¡°According to the latest intelligence transmitted by Pu Yang and the others, Li Yuan¡¯s attack hasn¡¯t reached Level 45, probably around Level 44,¡± said Bei Yue Deity. ¡°Otherwise, he could have killed Pu Yang with a single move when he chased him down last time.¡±


    ¡°But his Domain is extremely strong, many Semi-Divine Peak Experts probably can¡¯t match him, and his physical defense is also exceptionally powerful.¡±


    ¡°Overall,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°his comprehension of the Law should have reached the Semi-Divine Peak level, and his ability to preserve his life is extremely strong.¡±


    ¡°Much stronger than Fang Hai was back in the day.¡±


    ...


    East Demon Deity fell into complete silence.


    Flying Heaven Realm, reaching such a level in just a few years? What kind of monster is this?


    Across the entire Mortal Domain, such a cultivator has never been born.


    ¡°His strength being so formidable, he must possess two Nine Layer Star Techniques, the Body Refining Star Technique and the Domain Star Technique,¡± analyzed Bei Yue Deity. ¡°His foundational strength is at least Level 37.9, or even Level 38.9.¡±


    ¡°Level 38.9? Eight Star Veins?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s pupils constricted.


    In the entire history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, even that singular True God didn¡¯t awaken the Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say, it¡¯s only a possibility,¡± said Bei Yue Deity. ¡°After all, without such a strong foundation, it would mean his Divine Artifacts are immensely powerful¡­ otherwise, it can¡¯t be explained.¡±


    East Demon Deity nodded slightly.


    All strength has its reasons.


    So-called strength is merely determined by a few factors: Law comprehension, weapons, Star Techniques, and Origin Power Cultivation.


    ¡°All this, we can only guess.¡±


    ¡°According to the last message from Suhaer,¡± East Demon Deity said gravely, ¡°Sang Qiu was captured, likely to be enslaved¡­ This time, it¡¯s a complete failure.¡±


    His heart was bleeding.


    He didn¡¯t care about the Flying Heaven Warriors who died in the planned invasion, nor did he care about the three Demigods killed¡­ The lost Origin Power Array was precious, but he could still bear that loss.


    The most critical factor was Li Yuan.


    ¡°If the Flying Heaven Realm is already this formidable, once he breaks through to become a Semi-Divine, wouldn¡¯t he become a second Dongfang Ji? No! Perhaps even stronger than Dongfang Ji.¡± East Demon Deity thought of this, and felt a headache coming on.


    ¡°Damn,¡± East Demon Deity found himself momentarily at a loss for ways to kill Li Yuan.


    There was no hope.


    ¡°East Demon, I have an idea, though I¡¯m not sure if I should say it,¡± Bei Yue Deity suddenly said.


    ¡°Speak,¡± East Demon Deity looked towards him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s negotiate,¡± Bei Yue Deity sighed. ¡°There¡¯s no hope left, our number of Flying Heaven Warriors and Demigods is ten, even dozens of times that of the Seven Star Civilization¡­ but you know very well, a cultivator¡¯s mighty power resides within one body.¡±


    ¡°In the past, there was only Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°Now Fang Hai and Li Yuan have progressively grown, along with that Flying Serpent, our hope is diminishing.¡± Bei Yue Deity shook his head. ¡°Right now, while they are not yet fully powerful, there is still a possibility to negotiate, if this continues¡­ once one of them becomes a True God, that would truly be troublesome.¡±


    Obviously.


    After witnessing the strength of Li Yuan and Liu Bing, Bei Yue Deity no longer felt any hope of victory.


    ¡°Negotiate?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered.


    Had it been any Demigod under his command who suggested this, he might have already executed them.


    But this was Bei Yue Deity¡¯s suggestion, which he could not help but consider carefully.


    ¡°Even if I am willing to negotiate.¡±


    ¡°Do you think the Seven Star Civilization would agree?¡± East Demon Deity slowly said. ¡°Even if they agree, what sort of conditions do you think they will impose?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and talk,¡± Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°If the negotiation doesn¡¯t succeed, we can always resume waging war.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± East Demon Deity nodded. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Soon after, the phantom of Bei Yue Deity¡¯s Divine Sense dissipated, leaving East Demon Deity alone in the grand temple.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    East Demon Deity suddenly burst out in a low roar, his arm swinging fiercely, a terrifying Divine Power surged, slamming into the ground and causing the grand Myriad Demons Hall to tremble slightly.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji!¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes were cold as he gritted the words out between clenched teeth.


    ¡°You really made it.¡±


    ¡°For over a hundred years, you truly led a frail civilization to rise completely,¡± East Demon Deity said through gritted teeth.


    Back then, if it hadn¡¯t been for the rise of Dongfang Ji, his army of Demigods would have submerged the entire Seven Star Civilization and completely conquered it long ago.


    There wouldn¡¯t have been a need to wait until today.


    The rise of Fang Hai made him anxious, and today¡¯s battle, seeing Li Yuan¡¯s displayed strength, snuffed out the last bit of hope in his heart¡­ that¡¯s why he agreed to Bei Yue Deity¡¯s proposal to negotiate.


    ¡­


    If East Demon Deity was furious.


    Then, as time passed, when the results of the great battle in Sharp Mountain Bay City spread, the entire high echelon of the Seven Star Civilization was shaken with joy.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan, killed two Demigods?¡±


    ¡°Heavens!¡±


    ¡°The Divine Snake also captured a Demigod.¡± The news quickly logged into Lantie Star¡¯s virtual network, and messages spread to other planets.


    And the Demigods and Flying Heavens of the Seven Star Civilization, who had been following this battle closely, were also excited and shocked.


    They knew Li Yuan was strong, but no one imagined he would be this powerful.


    It had been only two years since Li Yuan swept through the Second Level Star Realm.


    ¡­


    Blue Star, Jiang City, Starfire East lake Villa Bay community.


    ¡°Ahua!¡±


    ¡°Ahua! Quickly look at the news, our big brother killed a Demigod! He killed a Demigod on Lantie Star.¡± A cry of astonishment echoed throughout the villa.


    Boom!


    A figure flashed briefly, and the burly figure had rushed to the second floor, arriving next to his wife, watching the news report projected on the screen in front of her.

    Chapter 674: Chapter 365: The Highest Authority of Civilization_4


    ¡°Star Realm special news, Lantie Star great victory! Alliance Star Master ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, in four hours, at Sharp Mountain Bay City on Lantie Star¡­ eventually slayed two beings beyond the Flying Heaven Alien Race, this battle, will become the turning point in the warfare of Lantie Star¡­¡± the host was excitedly saying.


    Such victory news, within a few hours, had already rapidly climbed to the front pages of various planets, igniting countless discussions.


    Beyond Flying Heaven, that would be a Demigod!!


    Even the battle of Fang Hai in the ¡®Wanhan Star Realm¡¯ was not publicized and broadcast like this¡­ Many battles in the Star Realm did not have such a big impact.


    ¡°Big brother, is it really big brother?¡± Li Muhua held his breath, excitement in his eyes.


    Over the years, he had already graduated from Kunlun Martial University and was now a 24th level Prime Warrior.


    ...


    ¡°Big brother is too powerful, even the legendary Demigods have fallen by big brother¡¯s hand.¡± The woman beside him said excitedly, then shook her head with a sigh, ¡°However, I have not yet met big brother.¡±


    ¡°No rush.¡±


    ¡°When big brother returns to Blue Star, there will be a chance.¡± Li Muhua smiled, the woman beside him was his newlywed wife, also a classmate who graduated from Kunlun Martial University. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She had become a Foundation Establishing Warrior not long ago.


    ¡°Ah Hua.¡±


    ¡°You never told me before, you waited until we got married to tell me the truth.¡± The woman could not help saying, ¡°Big brother is so strong¡­ No wonder during university, you had so many cultivation resources.¡±


    In university, Li Muhua¡¯s relevant family status was not qualified for ordinary institutions to know.


    But the woman had only thought that Li Muhua¡¯s family had a Top Level Origin Martial Artist elder.


    She never imagined the background would be this significant.


    ¡°Big brother is big brother, I am me.¡± Li Muhua said, ¡°Big brother will help us, this is our opportunity¡­ but whether we can become Flying Heaven Warriors, we also have to work hard ourselves.¡±


    The woman nodded slightly, a few months ago when she found out Li Muhua¡¯s true identity, she was somewhat bewildered.


    Now? She was even more bewildered!


    Even Demigods could be killed, isn¡¯t it to say, this big brother she had yet to meet, gazing across the entire civilization, was already at the most peak existence?


    For a moment, she felt a bit dizzy.


    ¡­


    ¡°My disciple, indeed is quite formidable.¡± Far away in the Mingxu Star Realm, Li Yang, looking at this news, also felt quite sentimental.


    ¡­


    Feixing, Martial Divine Star Realm.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Li Yuan just breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s slayed a Demigod already?¡±


    ¡°This! This!¡± Dantai Feng, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Alicia, and a group of friends exploded in excitement.


    Before the crisis of Lantie Star, although they guessed Li Yuan had entered the realm of Law, he was still only a Prime Warrior¡­ But in the blink of an eye, even Demigods had fallen by Li Yuan¡¯s hand.


    Demigods!


    Seven Star Mountain members, already a gathering place for the top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization, but the vast majority could not become Demigods.


    You can imagine the shock in their hearts from such a drastic change in identity and strength.


    ¡­


    Feixing, Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    ¡°I knew in the Flying Heaven Realm, he would be stronger than I was then, and far surpass.¡±


    ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect it to be so soon.¡±


    ¡°How long has it passed, and Li Yuan¡¯s strength has grown to such a level?¡± Fang Hai said with a smile full of joy.


    ¡°Indeed incredible.¡±


    ¡°In the Flying Heaven Realm, being able to unleash the power at the threshold of a Demigod is already extremely rare.¡± The figure of Yun Lao, ethereal, said quietly, ¡°Like you back then, with Law Comprehension reaching the Semi-Divine Middle Rank, strength also only improved to 42nd level standard, considered entering the Semi-Divine Middle Rank level, only then did you kill those two Demigods.¡±


    ¡°This was almost a limit of the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°Second Rank Eight Star Veins, truly lives up to its reputation.¡± Yun Lao lamented with emotion.


    As the ¡®Grand Steward¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization, Yun Lao had an extremely high vision, far surpassing the average Demigod.


    ¡°According to the message Li Yuan transmitted to me, he should have had a breakthrough in Law Comprehension, and his Spear Technique rivals the Seventh Stage Middle Rank.¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Upon entering the Flying Heaven Realm, his transformation in Star Techniques, advancement in Law Comprehension are truly astonishing, already nearing me.¡±


    ¡°In terms of Comprehension.¡±


    ¡°Even Master, probably does not compare to him.¡± Fang Hai shook his head, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength, in the future, will continue to progress, and perhaps one day, with the status of Flying Heaven, he will truly rival the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    Semi-Divine Peak, the Semi-Divine Limit, is typically 45th level, 46th level, only due to weapons, Law Comprehension standards, causing strength to differ.


    47th level, must possess Seven Star Veins to achieve, also quite rare among Demigods. Most strength hopeful to reach the Pseudo-God threshold, hailed as ¡®Demigod Invincible.¡¯


    As for 48th level, a requirement for Eight Star Veins, even within the Divine Realm, extremely rare.


    ¡°There is hope.¡±


    ¡°Only, his Origin Power, Star Techniques are basically at the limit, if he wants his strength to improve further, can only work harder on perfecting his Spear Technique.¡± Yun Lao said, ¡°Yet, although he combines two Laws, for Law Comprehension to rival the Semi-Divine Limit, even reach the Pseudo-God threshold, is also difficult, it takes even more time¡­¡±


    ¡°Indeed difficult.¡±


    ¡°Before my breakthrough to Demigod, Law Comprehension was already the Seventh Stage Middle Rank standard, and it still is today.¡± Fang Hai shook his head.


    Seventh Stage Middle Rank Comprehension, is the Semi-Divine Peak standard.


    Seventh Stage High Rank Comprehension, is the Semi-Divine Limit standard.


    If Law Comprehension reaches the Seven Stages of Perfection, then one has the hope to Light the Divine Fire, and achieve Pseudo-God status.

    Chapter 675: Chapter 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing


    ¡°Yes, Master, please wait,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said respectfully.


    Semi-Divine Level Souls think very fast, and soon, she had transmitted all the intelligence she knew to Li Yuan through soul transmission.


    Li Yuan kept receiving the intelligence.


    Upon checking, he saw that much of the intelligence was from the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s ¡®Data Library,¡¯ but there was also a lot of information that he was seeing for the first time.


    ¡°So, the Myriad Demons Civilization actually cultivates Flying Heaven Warriors like this, oh, many aspects are still not as good as our Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Hmm? There are Flying Heaven Level geniuses in the Myriad Demons Civilization that are not in the Data Library, they must be newly emerging,¡± Li Yuan read quickly.


    ...


    Most of the intelligence provided by Sang Qiu Demigod wasn¡¯t very useful for the time being.


    After a while, Li Yuan had finished sifting through all the intelligence and quickly categorized it, passing the relevant information into the ¡®Starfire Data Library.¡¯


    Every powerhouse in the Martial Hall can upload various pieces of information during their adventures.


    Once verified, there would be a corresponding reward of Seven Stars Points.


    At Li Yuan¡¯s level, of course, he didn¡¯t care about those small rewards, but enriching the information in the Data Library was something a top powerhouse of his civilization ought to do.


    ¡°Only the three of you Demigods on Lantie Star? Could there be others in hiding that you don¡¯t know about?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Master, I cannot be entirely sure, after all, the Myriad Demons Civilization is very cautious. Like us three Demigods, we don¡¯t know the exact locations of those in the Flying Heaven Realm, we can only wait for commands from higher-ups,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod replied.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Previously, he had hoped that Sang Qiu Demigod could provide the positions of other Alien Race Flying Heaven warriors.


    But after thoroughly reviewing the intelligence, he realized he was expecting too much.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization had already considered this.


    ¡°But I think there shouldn¡¯t be any other Demigods,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said, ¡°Firstly, Master, your threat is great, more valuable than the entire Lantie Star. If there were other Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, they would have shown themselves in this battle.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, even in the Myriad Demons Civilization now, there are fewer than ten Flying Heaven Demi-Offspring,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod continued, ¡°Those who have reached Sixth Stage Perfection in True Intent Comprehension usually don¡¯t stay in the Flying Heaven Realm for long.¡±


    ¡°Like Master¡¯s Flying Heaven Realm, in the entire history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, none have been born,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, finding it reasonable.


    Most people¡¯s Star Vein Talent is limited, usually, Five-Star Meridian is the limit, and those who reach the Six Star Pulse are a minority.


    In short, for most Flying Heaven Martial Artists, becoming Demigod is already satisfying enough; naturally, they wouldn¡¯t linger in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    A Divine being? It¡¯s something normal people wouldn¡¯t dare to think about.


    ¡°Very well,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Rest assured, the promise I made will not change, I will definitely help you grow to my utmost because the stronger you become, the more help you will be to me.¡±


    ¡°Whatever Master wishes Sang Qiu to do, Sang Qiu will do,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod replied, her eyes filled with murderous intent, ¡°If Sang Qiu can Ascend to God, in the future, I will definitely return to the Myriad Demons Civilization, exterminating the entire Myriad Demons Civilization, not just for myself, but also to take revenge forMaster.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization wants to kill Master, the entire civilization should be destroyed!!¡± Sang Qiu Demigod seethed with killing intent.


    It¡¯s very difficult for foreign divine beings to descend upon other Dimensional Planes.


    But if Sang Qiu Demigod were to Ascend to God and return to the Myriad Demons Civilization, it would be easy; at least the Origin Plane would not hinder her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°The treasures on you, including those two Divine Artifacts, keep them for yourself,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°After the great battle of Lantie Star ends, I will help you acquire the position of Guest Elder in the Seven Star Civilization, then you can normally exchange for some cultivation resources from the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ If you face troubles you can¡¯t resolve, you can ask me again.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said.


    As a Soul Servant, she was absolutely loyal from the bottom of her heart.


    ¡°Next.¡±


    ¡°First, take this Origin Power Array for me, then go into hiding. Without my command, do not reveal your movements or identity,¡± Li Yuan instructed, ¡°Also, wear this Phantom Spirit Garment that I give you; at the very least, those below Demigod won¡¯t be able to see through your identity.¡±


    Li Yuan waved his hand, handing over the Phantom Spirit Garment he had been using to her.


    The Myriad Demons Civilization would definitely know that Sang Qiu Demigod had been captured.


    After all, to prevent trickery, Liu Bing had destroyed many communication items in advance.


    But after the capture, whether to inquire intelligence then kill, imprison, or control the soul?


    Let the Myriad Demons Civilization guess.


    Even if the Myriad Demons Civilization guessed the truth, there was no reason to give them a direct answer¡­ In the struggle of civilizations, what can be hidden should be hidden.


    ¡­


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Under the direction of Sang Qiu Demigod, the massive Origin Power Array that had covered tens of kilometers, soon had streams of light flying towards Sang Qiu Demigod, and with the collapse of the formation, the surging black mist began to recede. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Eventually, the entire Formation Base of the Origin Power Array was completely retracted by Sang Qiu Demigod.


    Phew!


    With a thought from Li Yuan, the Heaven and Earth River Domain spread across ten kilometers, still concealing Sang Qiu Demigod¡¯s presence.


    This prevented the distant Flying Heaven Martial Artists from seeing this scene, unclear about who had retracted the Origin Power Array.


    Inside the Heaven and Earth River.


    ¡°Master, this is the Origin Power Array,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod presented it respectfully.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three artifacts, resembling star disks, hovered, each Star Disk Artifact emitting an exceedingly powerful aura.


    Beyond the three artifacts, there were dozens of Semi Divine Artifacts encircling them. There were many of these Semi Divine Artifacts, but the aura they emitted was much weaker.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    ¡°This array is called the ¡®Mystic Cloud Origin Formation,¡¯ created by three Divine Artifacts and seventy-two Semi Divine Artifacts working together,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod explained, ¡°If these Semi Divine Artifacts were lost it would not matter, they can be re-crafted, but the core of the array is the three Divine Artifacts, they are indispensable.¡±

    Chapter 676: Chapter 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing_2


    ¡°Hmm, release your recognition, and let me take a closer look,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Sang Qiu Demigod quickly released his ownership.


    Seeing this, Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts immediately stirred, and Origin Power surged into the three Star Disk Artifacts.


    A wealth of information quickly flooded into Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s a fixed Origin Power Array.¡± Li Yuan completely understood the Mystery of the Array. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With his current broad perspective, many deities might not match him. After carefully perceiving the intricacies of the Array, he was clear about its strengths and weaknesses.


    ...


    The advantage was that it could greatly enhance the Main Formation Master¡¯s strength and even form three Origin Power Dharma Bodies, allowing the master to manipulate these bodies in battle and avoid many dangers.


    But the disadvantages were also evident.


    First, the Array needed to be laid out in advance, and once set, it could not be moved. It was also cumbersome to collect, making it unsuitable for encounters.


    Second, it required three Semi-Divines to implement it together, each belonging to the Earth Vein, Wood Lineage, and Water Lineage.


    ¡°This Origin Power Array is suitable as a stronghold or for use during garrisoning,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°or for setting up advance traps for ambush.¡±


    ¡°With over ten Flying Heaven demons, it¡¯s no wonder that the Eastern Demon Deity chose you three to come,¡± Li Yuan looked at Sang Qiu Demigod.


    The three of them happened to meet the attribute requirements.


    ¡°I should also thank that fool from the East Demon. If it weren¡¯t for him, how could I have encountered my master?¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said solemnly.


    Li Yuan shook his head with a smile, ¡°Sang Qiu, this Array wouldn¡¯t exhibit much power in your hands, so I¡¯ll take it.¡±


    ¡°As the master commands,¡± Sang Qiu Demigod said.


    Li Yuan waved his hand and took away the three Divine Artifacts and dozens of Semi-Divine Artifacts. This Origin Power Array, with just one single Artifact taken out, was flawed and of low value. Li Yuan estimated it could only be worth 10 Divine Crystals, maybe even less.


    However, as a whole, Li Yuan reckoned the entire Array could sell for hundreds of Fangshen Crystals, increasing its value more than tenfold.


    ¡°Despite its flaws, the good outweighs the bad,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If three Semi-Divine Middle Rank cultivators with the correct attributes were to lead the Array, all three could achieve the power of a Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    Just this point alone made the Array¡¯s value no less than five hundred Fangshen Crystals.


    Keep in mind, the treasures Li Yuan acquired from killing Pu Yang Demigod and Suhaer Demigod amounted to just a hundred Fangshen Crystals.


    This Array was Li Yuan¡¯s biggest gain this time.


    ¡­


    After stowing it away, under Li Yuan¡¯s Domain concealment, Sang Qiu Demigod quickly delved deeply into the earth and left far behind.


    Following Li Yuan¡¯s command, he would continue to pursue and kill the Flying Heaven Alien Race of the Myriad Demons Civilization without revealing himself.


    ¡°Carry on with the aftermath,¡± Li Yuan told the group of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    ¡°Yes,¡± they all replied respectfully.


    ¡°Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan communicated, ¡°I¡¯ve taken control of that Demigod. As planned, continue with the inquiry and cleanup.¡±


    ¡°Okay, big brother.¡±


    Li Yuan then quickly split up with Liu Bing to continue the pursuit and cleanup, eliminating the remaining Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    Although he was unclear about the exact locations of these Flying Heaven Alien Races.


    At least, with the information provided by Sang Qiu Demigod, the Seven Star Civilization could confirm the number of Flying Heaven Alien Races on Lantie Star.


    Now, it was equivalent to having four Demigods joining forces in the inquiry.


    ¡­


    Deep within the earth, Li Yuan moved forward through the rock layers at a speed of five kilometers per second.


    Flying Heaven Warriors could easily traverse the earth.


    Not to mention Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, moving through the earth was a breeze.


    However, stealthily moving within the earth, obstructed by soil and rocks, was much slower.


    Fortunately!


    Li Yuan had crossed the Threshold of the Law of Earth, evoking the Mysteries of Earth, allowing him to move relatively quickly within the earth.


    ¡°On Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°Only a few hundred Flying Heaven Alien Races remained, which is good news.¡±


    ¡°However, these remaining aliens are not enough to increase my Spiritual Awakening Level to 80%, even reaching 76% would be difficult,¡± Li Yuan reckoned, glancing at some prompts on the Mind Spirit Divine Palace panel.


    ¡°[By killing a Fourth Rank creature, you have broken the shackles of the Divine Palace, and the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening is now 80%]¡±


    ¡°[Due to the accumulated Spirituality Nourishment from the past, your Spiritual Awakening Level has increased from 75% to 75.9%]¡±


    ¡°[By killing a Fourth Rank creature, you have acquired Spirituality Nourishment, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has increased from 75.9% to 76%]¡±


    ¡°[By killing a Fourth¡­76.1%]¡±


    From these Divine Palace prompts alone, Li Yuan understood that his previous conjectures were correct.


    To break through the major bottleneck of 75% in Spiritual Awakening, one must kill a Semi-Divine.


    But this was only the first step in increasing the Spiritual Awakening upper limit to 100%. Merely relying on slaughter was not enough.


    Spiritual power needed to become stronger.


    ¡°My spiritual power is at level 48, insufficient for the Spiritual Awakening upper limit to reach 85%. I estimate that only by transforming the spiritual power to the Pseudo-God Level will it work,¡± Li Yuan judged.


    To let the Mind Spirit Divine Palace play a significant role, there were high requirements for spiritual power.


    One slow step leads to many.


    Had it not been for Li Yuan¡¯s mad pursuit of the Visualization Method, even taking immense risks, he could never have achieved what he had.


    ¡°If I want Spiritual Guidance for the Nine Star Pulse awakening in the Flying Heaven Realm, the fourth time will be the most helpful,¡± Li Yuan was clear about this. ¡°To do so, I must increase my Spiritual Awakening Level to 100%.¡±


    First, the upper limit must be raised to 100%.


    Second, enough Spirituality Nourishment must be obtained.


    ¡°Counting the sweep of the Second Level Star Realm two years ago, I¡¯ve killed over a thousand Flying Heaven Warriors, and that only increased my Spiritual Awakening Level by 0.9%?¡± Li Yuan concluded. ¡°So, every hundred Flying Heaven Alien Races killed after 75% only contribute to a 0.1% improvement?¡±


    ¡°And killing an Alien Race Semi-Divine would raise it by 0.1%?¡±


    From this point alone, Li Yuan realized he had a long way to go to raise his Spiritual Awakening Level to 100%.

 Chapter 677: 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing_3

    Chapter 677: Chapter 366: Mysterious Cloud Formation! Return to Feixing_3


    Apart from having a Pseudo-God Level Soul!


    Secondly, at least two hundred Alien Race Demigods need to be killed¡­ but Demigods are not so easily killed.


    Frequent river walkers inevitably get their shoes wet.


    Like this time, if Li Yuan were to encounter a Semi-Divine Peak Expert just before a breakthrough, he¡¯d likely have to use an item to save his life.


    If he encountered two? There would be a danger of falling.


    ¡°After the breakthrough of Spear Technique, with my own strength, I have a certain hope of survival in front of a Semi-Divine Peak Expert,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°but if I encountered a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, death is certain.¡±


    ...


    ¡°If I fight an Alien Race Demigod, I need even stronger power,¡± Li Yuan thought, looking again at the Divine Palace panel.

    ¡­


    ¡°My Star Techniques are nearing the Flying Heaven Limit, even if I were to continue to cultivate ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit, it wouldn¡¯t greatly enhance my strength, only my ability to survive,¡± Li Yuan was clear on this point: ¡°So, the only path for improving my strength now is twofold.¡±


    ¡°One is obtaining a stronger Divine Artifact, and the other is striving to strengthen my Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°For instance, comprehending the third form of the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ would naturally cause my strength to surge once more,¡± Li Yuan thought privately.


    However, either method is very difficult.


    Even obtaining a powerful Divine Artifact requires a high enough realm to bring out its effects.


    ¡°After all, the core thing is Law Comprehension,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently: ¡°Whether it¡¯s the Law of Earth or the True Meaning of Wind¡­ I still have much room for progress.¡±


    It¡¯s been less than two years since I became a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    While the two auxiliary Supreme Star Techniques seemed not to directly enhance his strength, Li Yuan¡¯s rapid progress in laws made them indispensable.


    ¡°Once the conflict on Lantie Star is over, I¡¯ll continue to ponder the True Meaning of Wind,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Break through earlier and fully comprehend the Thousand Illusions Formation Map¡­ then I can head to the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    Li Yuan hadn¡¯t forgotten the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s promise.


    Becoming a Flying Heaven and fully comprehending the Thousand Illusions Formation Map would allow him to head to the Nine Leaves World, which is where the greatest opportunity lies for Li Yuan in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    ¡­


    Time passed, day by day.


    With the addition of Sang Qiu Demigod as new reinforcement, and having basically confirmed the force of the Myriad Demons Civilization on Lantie Star¡­ the cleansing efforts of the Seven Star Civilization rapidly accelerated.


    Nearly a month later, the Seven Star Civilization side had killed hundreds of Flying Heaven Alien Race members.


    Combining intelligence, they had basically confirmed that the number of Flying Heaven Alien Race on Lantie Star had fallen below one hundred.


    And after rounds of relentless purging, the remaining Flying Heaven Alien Race were thoroughly terrorized, each hiding deeply, making it very difficult to directly find them.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that those in the Flying Heaven Realm cannot live in space permanently, these Flying Heaven Alien Race would have likely fled into the starry sky by now.


    Thus.


    The conflict on Lantie Star was basically concluded, and many of the Flying Heaven Warriors who had come to support began to withdraw in droves.


    The Seven Great Planets, many regions, and Star Realms, all required more support from Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Likewise, Li Yuan also received orders to prepare to return.


    In Lantie Star, Lu¡¯an City, this place is the entrance to the Sixth Star Realm, the first city Li Yuan arrived at when he reached this planet.


    In a twelve-story building, within a top-floor hotel.


    ¡°Li Yuan, thank you for your efforts during this crisis on Lantie Star,¡± Mu Ji Demigod, dressed in casual clothes today, said while holding a wine glass, his voice filled with gratitude: ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you and your Spirit Beast¡¯s help, we alone might not have been able to save Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s an overstatement,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Although it¡¯s been a long time since he came to Lantie Star, today was the first time he had seen Mu Ji Demigod.


    The personality he showed was very much to Li Yuan¡¯s liking.


    ¡°I¡¯m not overstating; I truly am grateful,¡± Mu Ji Demigod said: ¡°I¡¯ve inquired about it, those three Alien Race Demigods teamed up, if they had gone against me, or against An Ji and the others¡­ the outcome would be hard to say.¡±


    ¡°But they went against you, and were either captured or killed by you.¡±


    An Ji, a Semi-Divine Initial Rank expert from Lantie Star, is another name for the semi-divine.


    ¡°Your strength is even greater than mine, and for that, I am grateful,¡± the Semi-Divine Semi Mu said sincerely. ¡°Lantie Star is my hometown; I was very worried it would follow the same fate as Feixing when the crisis erupted.¡±


    ¡°Despite the great losses in this battle, most people survived,¡± Semi-Divine Semi Mu stated.


    Li Yuan also felt deeply moved.


    Like on Feixing, why were there so many semi-divines gathered? Other than the need to guard the most Third Level Star Realms on Feixing, it also related to Feixing being more conducive to cultivation.


    The most powerful legacies, the frequent exchanges among the numerous semi-divines¡­ all drew many semi-divines to want to stay on Feixing.


    Yet, many of them also held affection for their homelands.


    Just like Li Yuan, he valued other planets¡¯ civilizations, but undoubtedly, to him, Blue Star was the most important.


    ¡°I will have Sang Qiu Demigod stay another three months to continue investigating inside and outside of Lantie Star, striving to discover more about the Flying Heaven Alien Race,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°but Little Ice and I are preparing to return to Feixing.¡± S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The matter of Sang Qiu Demigod could be kept from others, but not from Semi Mu.


    Hmph!


    A small green snake darted out from the sleeve of Li Yuan¡¯s arm, stared at Semi Mu, and snorted, ¡°Hey, big guy, remember, don¡¯t call me ¡®spirit beast,¡¯ my name is Liu Bing.¡±


    ¡°Is this that Divine Snake? It¡¯s shrunk to such an extent? Its aura is completely concealed?¡± Semi Mu was astonished.


    ¡°That¡¯s natural,¡± Liu Bing said proudly.


    ¡°Ha ha, alright, I¡¯ll remember to call you by your name from now on,¡± Semi Mu laughed.


    He was well aware of Liu Bing¡¯s prowess; in terms of strength, she was likely even more powerful than he was, and in terms of speed, she far surpassed him.


    ¡°Alright, Brother Mu, I shall take my leave now,¡± Li Yuan raised his glass and smiled.


    ¡°Safe travels.¡±


    ¡­


    Without notifying anyone else, Li Yuan, accompanied by Liu Bing, quickly passed through the Sixth Star Realm and returned to Feixing.


    As soon as he flew out from the other end of the star realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come to the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters immediately upon your return to Feixing,¡± Fang Hai had already sent a message.


    ¡°The planetary defense system truly lives up to its reputation,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself: ¡°I just got back to Feixing, and the Principal already knows?¡±


    Clearly, the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s control over Feixing was far beyond what Lantie Star could compare to.


    ¡°Big brother, do I need to return to the Heavenly Snake Hall?¡± Liu Bing poked her head out of the sleeve.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    ¡°This time we meet with the Principal, I¡¯ll get you an identity in an instant,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°From now on, you¡¯ll be able to roam the Seven Star Civilization on your own, no need to worry anymore.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s eyes lit up. Although she had gained much knowledge, she also longed to engage with more people and events at heart.


    Communicating with other beings was, in a sense, also part of her cultivation.


    ¡°Big brother, let me take you then,¡± Liu Bing whispered with a chuckle: ¡°Your flying speed is too slow.¡±


    ¡°Is this still slow?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes widened; after his breakthrough, his surface flying speed had reached 10 kilometers per second.


    That is about 30 times the speed of sound.


    But soon, Li Yuan fell silent, for once Liu Bing enlarged her body and carried him on her back, she truly displayed her terrifying speed.


    Whizz~


    Without a sound, a virtually undetectable streak of blue light swept across the heavens and earth, the air not even vibrating.


    ¡°20 kilometers per second?¡± Li Yuan was astounded.


    On Feixing, Liu Bing had never demonstrated such a terrifying speed.


    ¡°Big brother, when just assisting in searches and pursuits, I naturally unleash all my strength,¡± Liu Bing transmitted. ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯ve just perfected the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Sky-Cleaving Wings¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit.¡±


    Li Yuan realized this, but was also quite shocked in his heart.


    Semi-divines typically reached a flying speed of 20 times the speed of sound, about 7 kilometers per second.


    Semi-Divine Middle Rank generally had a speed of about 9 kilometers per second.


    Semi-Divine Peak generally achieved a speed of about 10 to 12 kilometers per second.


    Of course, if one cultivated under the Wind Vein or Thunder Vein systems, their speed would be faster, and if one trained in the Escape Skill Star Technique, the speed increase would be very rapid.


    But to have a flying speed as terrifying as Liu Bing¡¯s was quite rare among the semi-divines.


    ¡°Even if it were a Semi-Divine Limit Expert who isn¡¯t adept at speed, they probably couldn¡¯t catch up with Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself: ¡°The top-tier Wind Elemental Divine Beast, coupled with the Nine Layer Escape Technique, truly stands unparalleled in terms of speed within the Flying Heaven.¡±


    Across the Seven Star Civilization¡­


    Besides the Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan estimated that there might be no other semi-divines who could catch up with Liu Bing.


    Just like that¡­


    In less than half an hour, Liu Bing had already brought Li Yuan to the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.

 Chapter 678: 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star

    Chapter 678: Chapter 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star


    This was not Li Yuan¡¯s first time at the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    But the previous two times, Li Yuan had sneaked in from the side, hiding his tracks all the way, but this time, he arrived openly and legitimately.


    The Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters, occupying an extremely vast area, was towering into the clouds, standing over a thousand kilometers tall.


    It was the largest and tallest building on the entire Feixing.


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Liu Bing was also looking at the massive Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters and transmitted, ¡°Senior Qiu said that this building should be disguised by an extremely powerful magical treasure.¡±


    ¡°Um,¡± Li Yuan nodded; the previous two times he came, Gu You had mentioned something similar.


    ...


    According to Gu You¡¯s conjecture, it was most likely a True God Instrument.


    It should be the one controlled by the Alliance Hierarch¡­ Li Yuan was also curious, was this True God Instrument also brought back by the Alliance Hierarch from the Nine Leaves World?


    Before long.


    Liu Bing once again reduced her size, coiling around Li Yuan¡¯s arm as he slowly landed at the great gates of the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    At the gate, there were many Prime Warriors guarding, and many people coming in and out.


    Quite a few people noticed Li Yuan.


    Flying? It was not rare; occasionally, Flying Heaven Warriors would come to the Martial Hall Headquarters.


    In other places of the Seven Star Civilization, Flying Heaven Warriors were major figures, but here, they were quite common.


    Just as Li Yuan entered the gate.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan, welcome,¡± a gentle voice rang out, echoing in front of the gate.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan is back from Feixing?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Star Master Li Yuan? I actually didn¡¯t recognize him.¡± Whether it was the guarding Prime Warriors or the hall members going in and out for business, a burst of exclamations erupted.


    It was not their fault, Li Yuan was wearing Combat Armor, completely covering his body; it was very difficult to distinguish him from his appearance alone.


    Swish!


    A figure in green garments flashed by and appeared in front of Li Yuan: ¡°Li Yuan, you arrived so quickly? We just received the news of your arrival.¡±


    ¡°San Ye Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan smiled. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me Semi-Divine anymore; just address me as San Ye, the Grand Hall Master is waiting for you,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Follow me, please.¡±


    San Ye Semi-Divine was very clear that in terms of strength, Li Yuan was probably above her, she wouldn¡¯t be putting on any airs.


    With such might in the Flying Heaven Realm, once he made a breakthrough, what level would Li Yuan¡¯s strength reach? It was hard to imagine.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan did not insist, he was clear about the thoughts of these demigods.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two of them, one behind the other, flew directly along the wide corridor, quickly towards the highest level of the Martial Hall Headquarters.


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan is really impressive.¡±


    ¡°To have San Ye Semi-Divine come to greet him.¡±


    ¡°Star Master Li Yuan has a record of slaying a demigod, San Ye Semi-Divine does not¡­ I heard that Star Master Li Yuan¡¯s strength is considered extremely strong among the demigods.¡± Along the way, many people were discussing in hushed tones.


    ¡°Regardless.¡±


    ¡°With Star Master Li Yuan¡¯s return, it looks like, the crisis on Lantie Star should be essentially resolved.¡±


    ¡­


    Proceeding along the way, the higher they went, the fewer people there were, until the top floor where there was nobody at all.


    ¡°The entire headquarters has a total of 100 floors,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine said: ¡°The 99th floor is where the Seven Stars Council is held, and all of the civilization¡¯s demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors can reach there.¡±


    ¡°But this 100th floor can only be accessed by the Martial Hall¡¯s demigods and Heavenly Star Lords, so there are usually very few people here.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; the last time he came, he had gone to the 99th floor and left a Divine Consciousness Brand.


    The 100th floor was his first visit.


    Soon, when San Ye Semi-Divine pushed open one of the doors, Li Yuan caught sight of Fang Hai standing in the conference room.


    Beside him stood the somewhat ethereal figure of Elder Yun.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine stood at the door and said softly, ¡°Li Yuan has arrived.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Teacher San Ye,¡± Fang Hai looked at San Ye Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master, in the future, addressing me simply as San Ye will do; I dare not accept the title of teacher,¡± San Ye Semi-Divine¡¯s voice was a bit cold: ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±


    Immediately after, San Ye Semi-Divine nodded slightly at Li Yuan, her face returning with a smile, then turned into a stream of light and went far away.


    Leaving Fang Hai with an embarrassed expression.


    ¡°Principal?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but call out again; he perceived that the relationship between the principal and San Ye Semi-Divine seemed somewhat unusual.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, welcome back victorious,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s expression returned to normal, smiling, ¡°Come, have a seat.¡±


    Inside the conference room, there were chairs and tea sets.


    Fang Hai sat down directly, and Li Yuan also followed suit, sitting down. Although his own strength had greatly increased, facing Fang Hai, Li Yuan could still feel a huge threat¡­ immediately making Li Yuan understand that in terms of strength, he was still no match for Principal Fang Hai.


    Perhaps, in terms of the Law Realm, they were already close.


    But the gap in the foundation between the two was still very large.


    ¡°When I first made a breakthrough, the principal was already at the Semi-Divine Peak strength,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°More than a year has passed, the principal¡¯s Origin Power Cultivation must have improved a lot, and his strength probably has made great progress, perhaps it could even compare to the Semi-Divine Limit.¡±


    As one of the Seven Star Veins, even if the Law Comprehension was lower, it was relatively much easier to improve strength up to the Semi-Divine Limit.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Fang Hai dressed in black garments, smiling at Li Yuan: ¡°This time on Lantie Star, you made a great contribution, and I, on behalf of the Seven Star Civilization, would like to thank you for your contributions.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what I should do,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Elder Yun,¡± Fang Hai looked at the white-robed old man.


    ¡°First of all, you¡¯ve made great achievements in this battle; according to the rules left by the master, we¡¯ll still be calculating your contribution and merits,¡± Elder Yun said: ¡°It¡¯s a total of 5 million Seven Stars Points¡­ in actuality, this falls far short of the contribution you made, but the resources of the entire civilization are limited, so I hope you understand.¡±


    ¡°Elder Yun, rest assured, I understand, and I am very satisfied,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.

 Chapter 679: 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star_2

    Chapter 679: Chapter 367 Grand Hall Master of Blue Star_2


    ¡°`


    5 million Seven Stars Points, that is, 50 Divine Crystals.


    These rewards, they parallel the entire assets of an ordinary Semi-Divine, the reward isn¡¯t small¡­


    But Li Yuan¡¯s own gains are even bigger.


    Most importantly, Li Yuan clearly understands in his heart that the Lantie Star crisis has caused huge losses to the entire civilization¡­ just the post-war reconstruction alone is destined to consume resources amounting to an astronomical figure.


    And the massive amount of consolation money.


    ...


    Wars in the Star Realm are about expansion, about seizing external resources.


    But the battle on Lantie Star was a war within the borders, all were losses.


    Therefore, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t planned on claiming any Seven Stars Points.


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Principal, Yun Lao.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°During the great battle on Lantie Star, I¡¯ve obtained quite a number of treasures, among which is a set of extremely powerful formations. I¡¯ve been thinking that I have no use for it and would like to sell it to the treasury. Would you like to take a look?¡±


    ¡°A formation? Is it that one that gathers the black clouds?¡± Fang Hai asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Let Yun Lao take a look,¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°The treasury of the civilization is under his direct control, and his ability to appraise is far better than mine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded and, with a wave of his hand, brought out the entire Mysterious Cloud Formation, instantly, strands of profound and powerful aura dispersed.


    ¡°What a treasure,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°The foundation of a complete formation.¡± Yun Lao also said solemnly, ¡°Let me sense it carefully and take a closer look.¡±


    Li Yuan was not in a hurry.


    As time passed, a full quarter of an hour later, Yun Lao finally spoke again, ¡°This Origin Power Array is very good, enough to guard some critical positions. Li Yuan¡­ the Seven Stars Treasury is willing to pay 40 million Seven Stars Points to purchase this formation. Are you willing?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Li Yuan didn¡¯t bargain.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± Yun Lao couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°You should know the true value of this formation. Aren¡¯t you going to bargain? You are at a loss.¡±


    If this setup were sold in the Divine Realm, it could fetch between 600-800 Fangshen Crystals, which would be hopeful.


    ¡°Yun Lao, could I possibly sell it to someone else?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t need this formation, but it can be of great use to the entire civilization, so why keep it in my hands¡­ As for being at a loss, just like the Alliance Hierarch, many treasures have probably been contributed to the treasury without compensation.¡±


    ¡°The Alliance Hierarch too, secretly gave up many treasures, helping many juniors,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°Now that my strength suffices, if there¡¯s a chance, I should consider the entirety of the civilization.¡±


    After having a detailed understanding of the foundation and strength of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Li Yuan was clear in his heart that unknowingly, he had gradually grown into one of the top powerhouses of the civilization.


    One cannot only look out for oneself.


    For a civilization to rise, it is actually supported by a handful of top powerhouses, shielding the later comers from wind and rain.


    Succession from generation to generation, continuance, are what make it strong.


    If the top powerhouses were all selfish, then it would be very difficult for a civilization to persist.


    Hearing Li Yuan¡¯s words.


    ¡°Yun Lao, do you still have concerns?¡± Fang Hai said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, with Li Yuan¡¯s character, he will never disappoint you or the teacher.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha.¡± Yun Lao laughed.


    Li Yuan, on the other hand, was somewhat puzzled.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the master has already entered the Nine Mountains World, and will likely not return for a short while,¡± Yun Lao said.


    Li Yuan was shocked in his heart, the Alliance Hierarch left Feixing?


    ¡°When did this happen?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Last September,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°In the entire civilization, only Yun Lao and I know of this.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Lant Semi-Divine should also be aware. The teacher must have told him,¡± Fang Hai pondered.


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Last September? That was September 2051. Calculating the time, that was not far from when the principal took over as the Starfire Chief Hall Master and Deputy Alliance Leader.


    ¡°Why tell me?¡± Li Yuan could not help asking.


    ¡°Because you are almost qualified,¡± Yun Lao said with a smile. ¡°In terms of strength, you¡¯re already among the top ten in our civilization, and even potentially competing for the top five.¡±


    Top five? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    The Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Civilization were indeed generally not strong, it couldn¡¯t be helped, the Cultivation Time was too short.


    ¡°With your strength at just the Flying Heaven Realm, your future is limitless,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°Once you pass the Nine Leaves Trial, you may even match a Semi-Divine Peak and also gain many beneficial treasures¡­ In summary, the Alliance Hierarch has high hopes for you.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    The words of the Alliance Hierarch before were still fresh in his memory.


    ¡°The Nine Leaves Trial, is it the Nine Leaves World?¡± Li Yuan inquired.


    ¡°Roughly,¡± Yun Lao vaguely said. ¡°When you go to the Nine Leaves World, you will naturally understand.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Whenever these matters are brought up, they always seem shrouded in secrecy.


    ¡°Li Yuan, with the teacher gone, I am now in charge of defending Feixing, it should be all right,¡± Fang Hai sighed. ¡°But to tell the truth, my strength now compared to the teacher during the Feixing battle a hundred years ago, still falls short¡­ indeed, there is great pressure.¡±


    ¡°Like these Lantie Star crises, if the teacher were here, everything would probably be quickly suppressed.¡±


    ¡°But with the teacher gone, I am also helpless,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Listening, Li Yuan also had many thoughts flashing through his mind.


    ¡°Many things.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I hope you can grow up quickly and shoulder it with me,¡± Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was startled.


    Shoulder it together?


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Yun Lao looked at Li Yuan, ¡°according to the master¡¯s instructions, once you reveal Semi Divine Level strength, you don¡¯t have to stay in the Martial Divine Star Realm, and you should gradually take over some of the affairs of the civilization.¡±


    ¡°I will follow the arrangements,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°The plan is for you to return to Blue Star, to take the position of Starfire Blue Star Main Hall Master,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Currently, there is no Semi-Divine Peak Expert stationed on Blue Star, with you returning, it can greatly alleviate the defense pressure of Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°No Semi-Divine Peak Expert on Blue Star?¡± Li Yuan was slightly surprised.


    ¡°With the teacher gone, Lant Semi-Divine, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and I are all defending Feixing,¡± Fang Hai explained. ¡°Xin Yu Semi-Divine came from Heavenly Sea Star and has long been defending Heavenly Sea Star.¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 680: 367 Blue Star Grand Hall Master_3

    Chapter 680: Chapter 367 Blue Star Grand Hall Master_3


    ¡°After all, it¡¯s just about significance.¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Sea Star is actually more important than Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Heavenly Sea Star has a population of over 30 billion.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, having truly felt the scarcity of top-tier power in the Seven Star Civilization.


    With the Alliance Hierarch absent, only four semi-divine peak experts remained, a very dangerous situation.


    Fortunately! It seemed that the Myriad Demons Civilization was still unaware.


    Furthermore, according to the principal, they seemed to have some trump cards that could ensure they would block the invasion from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ...


    ¡°On Blue Star, apart from the Third Level Star Realm of Wanhan Star Realm, the most critical is actually the Kunlun Star Realm, which directly faces the Immortal Ruins Civilization and poses the greatest potential danger,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Once there are disturbances in the Kunlun Star Realm, such as upgrading to a Third Level Star Realm, and if the Immortal Ruins Civilization decides to invade¡­ it won¡¯t be as simple as with Lantie Star.¡±


    ¡°The overall strength of the Immortal Ruins Civilization is more than ten times that of the Myriad Demons Civilization; I even suspect that there are still living true gods in the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°At least, there are at least ten living pseudo-gods in the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    Listening, Li Yuan felt even more concerned.


    In that case, how many semi-divines did the Immortal Ruins Civilization have? Based on the information Li Yuan knew, the entrance and exit of the Kunlun Star Realm could potentially expand to a Fourth Level Star Realm¡­ In the most dangerous times, that would absolutely be a nightmare.


    This place was also the most concerning point for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go back to Blue Star to take up my post,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Good, by the way, just serve as the president of Kunlun Martial University for a few years,¡± Fang Hai laughed. ¡°Later on, if there¡¯s nothing extra, you¡¯ll need to be stationed at Kunlun Martial University for the long term.¡±


    ¡°Serve as president?¡± Li Yuan felt a slight stir in his heart.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the deans and vice presidents will handle the matters; you¡¯ll just hold the title,¡± Fang Hai laughed. ¡°Also, the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star will also be the leader of all of Blue Star, and all the forces on Blue Star will follow your commands, including each of the semi-divines.¡±


    ¡°Including the semi-divines?¡± Li Yuan was startled. ¡°Including Senior Bai Shan?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°This matter, Senior Bai Shan has known about it for a long time; he won¡¯t oppose it. Originally, I was able to securely hold the position of Grand Hall Master of Blue Star because Bai Shan Semi-Divine supported me,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan nodded, realizing this.


    ¡°The specifics of the matter will be discussed by Master Yun with you when you return to Blue Star,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°He will assist you.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    It seemed, the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star was practically the top authority over all of Blue Star?


    Apparently, he was already a lord of a territory!


    Yet, Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned about it; having reached his level of power, especially after experiencing the Lantie Star crisis and having clashed with a semi-divine, worldly power didn¡¯t attract Li Yuan anymore.


    Becoming a stronger cultivator was Li Yuan¡¯s pursuit.


    ¡°There are two more things,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°The first matter concerns you, it¡¯s about the Nine Leaves World; according to our teacher¡¯s instructions, once you have Level 44 combat strength, you qualify to go there.¡±


    ¡°Previously, I had Level 42 combat strength and took the final trial,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°You won¡¯t wait to fully understand the Thousand Illusions Formation Map?¡± Li Yuan was astonished; he now had Level 44 combat strength.


    ¡°Before the master left, he predicted that you would step into the Law Level with both ¡®Earth¡¯ and ¡®Wind¡¯ only at Level 44 combat strength,¡± Master Yun noted. ¡°But clearly, there was a miscalculation.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly; probably the Alliance Hierarch also didn¡¯t expect that he would practice so many Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    ¡°My suggestion.¡±


    ¡°Still, follow the teacher¡¯s instructions,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Your strength is already extremely powerful, but if you could fully understand the Thousand Illusions Formation Map, it would bring many benefits in the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then wait for the True Meaning of Wind to condense into the Law, then go to the Nine Leaves World,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Yuan had his own considerations.


    Once he fully understood the Wind Law, his strength would increase¡­ and after a few more years, Little Ice¡¯s strength would also become much stronger, improving their chances significantly.


    He wasn¡¯t even thirty yet, no need to hurry.


    ¡°The second matter.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that the Myriad Demons Civilization has sent us a message, wanting to negotiate peace with us,¡± Fang Hai smiled.


    ¡°Negotiate peace?¡± Li Yuan widened his eyes. What kind of joke was that?


    The Myriad Demons Civilization actually wanted to negotiate peace?


    Impossible!


    ¡°Not just the Myriad Demons Civilization, other Foreign Civilizations like the Cloud Beast Civilization, Tianliang Civilization and many others have fought with us before,¡± Master Yun laughed. ¡°Recently, they all have put_forward peace proposals.¡±


    Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°What conditions are these Foreign Civilizations offering?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Since these Foreign Civilizations were initiating peace offers, they definitely needed to offer something substantial.


    ¡°Basically, it involves withdrawing from the bordering Third Level Star Realms and Second Level Star Realms,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°Then, compensate with some treasures, Divine Crystals, and such.¡±


    ¡°However, most of them require you, Fang Hai, and the master to set down Law oaths, promising not to initiate wars against them,¡± Master Yun said.


    ¡°That really sounds too good,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°Proactively withdrawing from Third Level Star Realms? Do they even dare not to retreat?¡±


    Li Yuan asked himself, with his current strength, he was more than capable of sweeping through most Third Level Star Realms.


    After all, only a handful of Third Level Star Realms have Semi-Divine beings, and most of them are of ordinary strength.


    Not many can withstand me.


    ¡°Like the Cloud Beast Civilization, Tianliang Civilization, etc., actually, most are merely guarded by Semi-Divine Peak experts,¡± Fang Hai chuckled, ¡°Once your strength advances further, you can completely overpower the Third Level Star Realms¡­ By then, they won¡¯t be able to do anything about you.¡±


    ¡°Conversely, if you want to fight, you fight; if you want to leave, you leave. Some weaker Foreign Civilizations will probably be destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Most civilizations¡¯ foundations are not as strong as our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°There isn¡¯t a Secret Treasure capable of easily slaying a Semi-Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the past, in the Mortal Domain, it was extremely rare for someone in the Flying Heaven Realm to possess the strength of a Semi-Divine threshold.


    Therefore, as long as a Semi-Divine guarded the entrances to the Third Level Star Realm, it was very safe.


    But now, being a Second Rank Eight Star Veins, many of my actions¡¯ logic had changed.


    ¡°Principal, what do you imply?¡± Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai.


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk gradually,¡± Fang Hai smiled, ¡°Currently, your strength has not yet reached the Semi-Divine Peak, so even if we negotiate, those Foreign Civilizations won¡¯t concede much¡­ Once your strength grows further, they will eventually bow down.¡±


    ¡°By then, there¡¯s no need for us to lay down a Law Oath; they will all bow down regardless,¡± Fang Hai stated.


    Li Yuan gently nodded.


    Deep down, Li Yuan was reluctant to lay down a Law Oath; it was an additional restraint.


    ¡°The only thing that¡¯s non-negotiable.¡±


    ¡°That is the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes glimmered with a murderous intent, ¡°Following my teacher¡¯s orders, only one of us and the Myriad Demons Civilization can survive. The old grudge of Feixing will never be forgotten.¡±


    ¡°The Lantie Star crisis this time again is a blood debt of hundreds of millions.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded firmly.


    In the education of the Seven Star Civilization, starting from primary school, the ¡®Battle of Feixing¡¯ is heavily emphasized.


    That was the moment when the civilization came closest to extinction, unforgettable.


    Thus, other civilizations can be negotiated with, but the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ there¡¯s absolutely no possibility.


    ¡­


    After the conversation with Fang Hai ended.


    Soon, the transfer order was sent back to Blue Star.


    At the same time, Li Yuan¡¯s rank was directly promoted from a Third-Class Star Master to a First Rank Star Master.


    In the Seven Star Civilization, those who possessed such a status were very few.


    It also represented that Li Yuan¡¯s authority had escalated to an extremely high level.


    But Li Yuan did not rush back to Blue Star, instead, he went deep into the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters to the ¡®Divine Artifact Chamber.¡¯


    Here, stored were all the Divine Artifacts that could be freely exchanged from the entire Seven Stars Treasury, along with a few treasured relics.


    It was the most crucial place in the entire Seven Star Civilization.


    Even the Semi-Divine of the alliance had to apply and be approved before coming here.


    Li Yuan¡¯s previous visit was to exchange for the Divine Artifact Long Spear he was currently using.


    In the vast hall.


    Floating were numerous Divine Artifacts emitting a powerful aura, each suppressed by special fluctuations.


    Densely packed, the Divine Artifact Chamber had a total of hundreds of Divine Artifacts.


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master¡¯s resources are truly formidable,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, sensing that many of the Divine Artifacts were special, probably impressive even among the Fifth Rank.


    ¡°Some of these Divine Artifacts were obtained by the Grand Hall Master from the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains,¡± Yun Lao chuckled, ¡°But many more are from the Grand Hall Master slaying Alien Race Semi-Divine in these years.¡±


    ¡°Do you want to exchange for a Divine Artifact?¡± Yun Lao asked curiously.


    ¡°Yun Lao.¡±


    ¡°During my last visit, there were two Divine Artifacts I had my eye on, and now I want to exchange for both,¡± Li Yuan smiled.

    Chapter 681: Chapter 368: Harvest


    Last time he visited the Divine Artifact Chamber, Li Yuan had taken a liking to these two divine artifacts; however, his Divine Crystal fortune wasn¡¯t enough at that time, so he could only exchange for an ordinary long spear.


    But now, Li Yuan felt that it should barely be enough.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Accompanying Master Yun¡¯s gesture, a divine artifact imprisoned in the distant void drifted over.


    It landed directly in front of Li Yuan.


    It was a pale blue shuttle-shaped divine artifact, its surface emitting a hazy glow, just like clusters of nebulae.


    ...


    ¡°Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.¡± Li Yuan eyed it covetously.


    He had previously sensed this divine artifact and knew its general information.


    It was a Wind System divine artifact, a top-grade among Pseudo-God Artifacts. It was a flying divine artifact that could change size. Whether ascending to the heavens, diving into the ocean, or roaming the starry sky, it was capable of doing anything.


    If one¡¯s comprehension of the Wind Law was extremely high, the might it could unleash was astonishing, and its flying speed was incredibly fast; even many Pseudo-Gods couldn¡¯t catch up to it.


    At the same time, the defense of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was also quite formidable. Hiding within it, even a Pseudo-God powerhouse couldn¡¯t break through.


    Of course,


    This divine artifact also had weaknesses. The first was during high-speed flight where its agility was insufficient, so it wasn¡¯t suitable for close combat; it should only be used to chase enemies or escape.


    Second, once hidden inside, one could only rely on the artifact¡¯s inherent might, and one¡¯s own attacks couldn¡¯t penetrate from within. If the enemy¡¯s strength was overwhelming, even if they couldn¡¯t break the artifact¡¯s defense, they could still suppress it completely.


    But for Li Yuan,


    What he valued was the speed advantage of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    ¡°In terms of defense, if I hid in the Ancient Divine Palace, that would truly be invincible defense.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°But the Ancient Divine Palace is a Cave Heaven Treasure, and it moves very slowly.¡±


    ¡°If Little Ice were here, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle wouldn¡¯t be of much use.¡±


    ¡°But I can¡¯t always expect Little Ice to be with me.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Before becoming a demigod, I can¡¯t cultivate the Escaping Method Star Technique, so I can only rely on divine treasures to compensate.¡±


    At least, before becoming a demigod, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle would be of great help to Li Yuan.


    ¡°This Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, if you wish to exchange it, is worth 30 million Seven Stars Points,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°Do you want to exchange?¡±


    ¡°Confirmed,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Alright, take it,¡± Master Yun smiled.


    Once Li Yuan stowed the Starry Sky Extreme Cloud Shuttle,


    Master Yun waved his hand again, and a streak of light flew from the depths of the Divine Artifact Chamber¡ªit was surprisingly a divine spear, cast like ancient bronze, exuding an ancient aura. The spear faintly bore mottled traces, seemingly from countless battles it had experienced.


    ¡°This Dark Star Divine Spear is a bit cheaper.¡± Master Yun said to Li Yuan, ¡°Only 8 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    ¡°Its material is special, obtained by the master from the Nine Mountains World, exceedingly sharp, it should be one of the top Pseudo-God Artifacts¡­ However, its fatal flaw is the lack of inherent origin.¡± Master Yun explained, ¡°That¡¯s also why its price is set at 8 million Seven Stars Points.¡±


    The might of a divine artifact is so great precisely because it possesses an inherent origin, which contains corresponding Laws and Mysteries and even encompasses complete Law applications.


    Only in this way, when a powerhouse acquires a divine artifact and drives its inherent origin, can they unleash much more formidable strength than usual, and the Origin Power consumed is also much less.


    If a divine artifact lacks an inherent origin, then the so-called divine artifact is just an empty shell,


    Like a normal top-grade virtual divine artifact, even a very common Divine Spear should be worth hundreds of Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°If you use it, its might will not be stronger than your current long spear,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°It might even be weaker.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take it,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Lacking an inherent origin?


    It was precisely because this ¡®Dark Star Divine Spear¡¯ lacked an inherent origin and had no attributes, being akin to an empty shell, a blank slate, that he wanted to acquire it.


    ¡°Alright, since you desire it so much,¡± Master Yun smiled. ¡°Then this Dark Star Divine Spear will be gifted to you.¡±


    ¡°Gifted?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°This divine spear, kept here, I¡¯m afraid no demigod would exchange for it. It would only gather dust. In your hands, it can unleash its might,¡± Master Yun explained. ¡°Secondly, you should understand that Seven Stars Points, essentially, are the master establishing a currency based on his personal strength as credibility for the treasures he owns.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded uncontrollably. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seven Stars Points are essentially worthless; the valuable things are the numerous treasures in the Seven Stars Treasury.


    ¡°The master will eventually leave,¡± Master Yun sighed, looking at Li Yuan. ¡°The entire civilization needs you and Fang Hai to support it, and you¡¯ll also control the Seven Stars Treasury¡­ In short, once you become a demigod, Seven Stars Points will be meaningless to you.¡±


    ¡°Whether Seven Stars Points will still be useful by then depends on you and Fang Hai,¡± Master Yun said.


    Li Yuan was enlightened.


    In the past, Seven Stars Points were established relying on Dongfang Ji¡­ but in the future, it would depend on himself and the principal.


    ¡°When you become a demigod, I will explain in detail to you.¡±


    ¡°Then, all the treasures in the treasury that are beneficial for your cultivation, you can take,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°But similarly, during your adventures outside, if there are some treasures you don¡¯t need, I hope you will also place them into the treasury.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°Master Yun, rest assured, I will do my best.¡±


    Master Yun nodded, he had been quietly observing Li Yuan, and he was extremely satisfied with Li Yuan¡¯s actions.


    ¡°But for now, I still don¡¯t control the Seven Stars Treasury, so let¡¯s still follow the rules,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Whatever amount of Seven Stars Points should be deducted, just deduct.¡±


    ¡°Also, I want to purchase some treasures from the treasury,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°It can¡¯t all just be you giving them to me.¡±


    Master Yun paused, then smiled, ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡­


    Having collected both divine artifacts.

    Chapter 682: Chapter 368: Harvest_2


    ¡°Li Yuan, aren¡¯t you looking to secure identities for your Spirit Beast and that Semi-Divine servant?¡± Cloud Elder said, ¡°These are two tokens I have prepared for you.¡±


    Sigh! With a wave of Cloud Elder¡¯s hand, two purple crystal stones, exuding a strange glow, fell from the void.


    ¡°These crystal stones harbor many functions.¡±


    ¡°After they refine them, they will be akin to becoming ¡®Semi-Divine Guest Elders¡¯ of my Seven Star Civilization,¡± Cloud Elder said. ¡°They will enjoy the same treatment as Second-Class Star Masters within the civilization, and they can also exchange for treasures in the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, through these crystal stones, they can also log in to the virtual network and so on, and have the authority to enter some important places¡­¡± Cloud Elder quickly explained.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod his head; it all sounded pretty good.


    ...


    ¡°Thank you for your trouble, Cloud Elder.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, waving his hand as he took the two purple crystal stones.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, Li Yuan arrived at some ¡®treasure transfer locations¡¯ not far from the headquarters of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    The place was very open, with many flying machines parked.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Star Master.¡± A middle-aged man with a beard was already waiting there, respectfully said, ¡°I am Kadrov, ordered to wait for you here. This is the Fourth Rank Battleship that belongs to you, freshly delivered.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan followed the direction he pointed.


    On the open ground sat an immensely large saucer-shaped warship, the diameter of which exceeded one hundred meters, and the height was also over thirty meters¡ªa truly monstrous size.


    The outer layer of the warship had a stunning streamlined beauty.


    Beautiful!


    Looking at this warship, Li Yuan felt that it was more beautiful than many Fourth Rank Battleships he had seen in various Star Realms.


    ¡°Is this the battleship assigned to me by the alliance?¡± Li Yuan asked with interest.


    As the Grand Hall Master of Blue Star and the Blue Star Leader, he had not only many special privileges but also many rights.


    Being equipped with an exclusive warship was one of them.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Star Master, there are many types of Fourth Rank Battleships,¡± Kadrov introduced. ¡°Those arranged in Second Level Star Realms, Third Level Star Realms are mostly the cheapest, with most of the energy supplied to the main cannon¡­ As a result, the flexibility and Defense of the warship itself are greatly compromised.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded knowingly, as in the Star Realms, Fourth Rank Warships were mainly used to combat Alien Race Flying Heaven, so the functionality of the main cannon was naturally very important.


    ¡°But your warship seat has eliminated the main cannon.¡±


    ¡°After all, your individual strength far exceeds the might of the main cannon itself,¡± Kadrov said. ¡°It focuses more on your safety and cultivation attributes.¡±


    ¡°Its surface is reinforced with many special alloys, and without the main cannon and other such elements, the overall Defense is greatly enhanced¡ªeven a Semi-Divine would need to attack many times to breach this warship,¡± Kadrov said. ¡°Its power is also very potent, with a flight speed far exceeding a normal Fourth Rank Battleship. Inside a planet, its maximum flight speed can reach 10 kilometers per second.¡±


    ¡°Also, its interior boasts an armory, Quiet Chamber¡­ allowing you to cultivate in peace on board the warship for extended periods.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart, however, was calm.


    10 kilometers per second? He himself could reach that speed in flight.


    For other Semi-Divines, a top-tier Fourth Rank Battleship like this was very useful, serving as a sanctuary for undisturbed cultivation, with a flight speed faster than one¡¯s own.


    As such, its exchange price in the Seven Stars Treasury was 1 million Seven Stars Points.


    Almost on par with a Divine Artifact.


    But for Li Yuan?


    ¡°If I need to travel, I can use the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, and if I need to cultivate in seclusion, the Ancient Divine Palace is safer,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°The biggest use of this warship¡­ is as a symbol of status.¡±


    Li Yuan remembered that the principal also had such a warship, perpetually floating above Kunlun Martial University.


    ¡°When serving as the principal.¡±


    ¡°Naturally, you need to make it so that students can¡¯t find the principal¡¯s office.¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of an inexplicable smile.


    Soon after.


    With Kadrov¡¯s introduction, Li Yuan step by step took control of the warship and set up the binding system functions. The warship was mostly automated¡­ it had a very high level of internal intelligence, including an auxiliary intelligence system.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Star Master, now you can operate the warship,¡± Kadrov said with a glint of envy in his eyes. ¡°I will head down now.¡±


    As a Flying Heaven Peak Expert, he was very aware that he would never afford such a warship in his lifetime.


    Keep in mind, many Demigods, if they accumulated less wealth, would hesitate to make such a purchase.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan watched as the man left and the warship¡¯s hatch slowly closed, falling completely silent.


    ¡°Xiao Yu,¡± Li Yuan called out.


    ¡°Welcome, Master. Xiao Yu is at your service,¡± a crisp voice rang out. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Rustle~ A flurry of light and shadows converged, forming a silhouette of a young girl beside him.


    This had become a habit for Li Yuan to name.


    ¡°Authorization, log in to the virtual network,¡± Li Yuan ordered, ¡°then set off for the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    Before returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan wanted to visit the Martial Divine Star Realm once more.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the girl said respectfully.


    The entire map of the Seven Star Civilization, including the ¡®interstellar routes¡¯ between different planets, had already been compiled into the warship¡¯s ¡®database¡¯, ensuring that once Li Yuan issued a command, the AI could directly set course for the destination.


    At the same time, the warship¡¯s AI possessed high authority, able to constantly update the database through the network.


    Hum~


    The warship on the runway swiftly ascended and then vanished between heaven and earth, a scene that caught the attention of many.


    Those who could be here were not ordinary; they recognized the difference a Fourth Rank Battleship made.


    Such a Fourth Rank Battleship, in the entirety of the Seven Star Civilization, was rarely seen.


    ¡°It must be a Semi-Divine¡¯s warship, I presume.¡±


    ¡°This kind of warship, I¡¯ve heard the price is astonishingly high, even the entire wealth of a Flying Heaven Star Lord couldn¡¯t buy a single room on that ship.¡±


    ¡­


    The battleship activated its ¡®invisibility¡¯ mode, speeding ahead high above Feixing.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber, a huge light screen emerged.


    ¡°As a First Rank Star Master,¡±


    ¡°Do I have the authority to know the approximate locations of other Semi-Divines within the civilization?¡± Li Yuan browsed through the many responsibilities and authorities of a ¡®First Rank Star Master¡¯ and ¡®Grand Hall Master of Blue Star¡¯.


    These were just passed to him by San Ye Semi-Divine.


    So-called Grand Hall Master of Blue Star was in fact a dual identity; the first identity was that of ¡®Grand Hall Master¡¯ of the Starfire Blue Star division, managing Blue Star¡¯s Starfire Martial Hall.


    The other identity was that of the ¡®Blue Star Leader¡¯.


    ¡°Starfire Martial Hall, Starry Sky Martial Hall, Black Stone Martial Hall,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, ¡°although they seem to be three separate Martial Halls, at the highest level, the distinction is not significant.¡±


    Li Yuan also understood the intentions of the Alliance Hierarch and Lant Semi-Divine.


    In this way, lower and middle ranks were encouraged to compete with each other, including the division of the alliance into so many nations, for the same reason¡­ When one reached the highest level, it would become clear that everything belonged to the ¡®Seven Stars Council¡¯.


    It was the Semi-Divines who secretly guided everything.


    ¡°A Semi-Divine, with just a thought, could destroy a super metropolis,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°This is the strongest military force in the entire civilization, naturally wielding the utmost power.¡±


    ¡°The Blue Star Leader is the chief of the entire Blue Star, normally selected from among the Hall Masters of the three great Martial Halls.¡±


    ¡°One out of three,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°During the years when the Principal was away, was it Bai Shan Semi-Divine who temporarily managed Blue Star¡¯s affairs for the Starfire Martial Hall, and was Soylo Semi-Divine from Black Stone Martial Hall who temporarily assumed the role of Blue Star Leader?¡±


    Soylo Semi-Divine, one of the seven Semi-Divines stationed on Blue Star, was also one of the two only Semi-Divine Middle Rank experts.


    This time, with Li Yuan taking over, it also meant that Soylo Semi-Divine¡¯s position was being revoked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait until returning to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan thought and directly closed the light screen in front of him.


    Immediately after, he turned off all recording functions in the Quiet Chamber.


    Shortly thereafter,


    Whoosh! Whoosh! In succession, two Phantoms appeared, one clad in white, the other a hulking figure with a single horn.


    ¡°Sister, Elder Qiu.¡±


    Li Yuan greeted with a smile, ¡°The ¡®Dark Star Divine Spear¡¯ you asked me to exchange for last time, I¡¯ve obtained it.¡±


    That¡¯s right.


    The exchange for the Dark Star Divine Spear was not Li Yuan¡¯s idea, but rather the advice of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun.


    With a flip of his palm, in front of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, the ancient Divine Spear appeared.


    ¡°Excellent spear,¡± Qiu Bingzun¡¯s eyes brightened, ¡°I judged correctly, this Divine Artifact, if Gu You and I were to refine it anew, it would certainly be a top-quality Pseudo-God Artifact¡­ It will be sufficient for your use for a long time.¡±

 Chapter 683: 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star

    Chapter 683: Chapter 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star


    ¡°I must trouble Senior Qiu then,¡± said Li Yuan.


    After such a long time, Gu You and Qiu Bingzun had been in secret contact with each other, becoming quite familiar.


    Because of Li Yuan¡¯s relationship with Liu Bing, it made both of them shift from initial mutual wariness to gradually trusting each other.


    At the very least, they were now willing to cooperate.


    To help Li Yuan refine the most fitting ¡®Pseudo-God Long Spear¡¯ was a joint decision made by Gu You and Qiu Bingzun after their secret discussions.


    ¡°A small matter, just refining a Pseudo-God artifact,¡± said Qiu Bingzun. ¡°Back in the day, I refined quite a few True God instruments.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan listened, within the legacy left by Qiu Bingzun, there indeed were methods of artifact refinement, quite exquisite. It was just a pity that he was not interested in this path.


    The Divine Realm is vast and boundless, whether it¡¯s artifact refining, alchemy, breeding spirit beasts, or studying Origin Power technology schools, they are all incredibly prosperous.


    ¡°Elder Qiu, if you are so capable, why don¡¯t you do the refining?¡± Gu You said with a smirk on her face.


    ¡°Haha,¡± Qiu Bingzun chuckled, ¡°Spare me, I only have this remnant soul left, I have the heart but lack the strength. I can only offer you advice, the main force in the actual refining still depends on you Gu You.¡±


    Gu You no longer spoke.


    Li Yuan, watching Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly.


    The Ancient Divine Palace seemed to be just a Sixth Rank Cave Heaven Treasure.


    The Ancient Torch Divine seemed to be slightly inferior to Qiu Bingzun.


    But some secrets revealed by the Ancient Divine Palace, especially that Gu You, who was honored as ¡®War God¡¯ by those Golden Armored Warriors, now seemed to imply, according to Qiu Bingzun, that Gu You should have the capability to refine a Pseudo-God artifact.


    Refining a divine artifact is very difficult, usually only True Gods can refine Pseudo-God artifacts more easily.


    Or some Pseudo-God powerhouses who are extremely skilled at artifact refining can make Pseudo-God artifacts.


    Civilizations like Seven Star Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization seemed to have numerous divine artifacts, but that is because both civilizations have extremely strong foundations.


    In the Divine Realm, divine artifacts have clear prices, because there are many powerhouses capable of refining them.


    But for some weaker civilizations, like the Cloud Beast Civilization, even the most ordinary Pseudo-God artifact valued at twelve to twenty Yuan has no means of exchange.


    Therefore, any divine artifact can become the tribe¡¯s treasure.


    Various signs all suggest that there¡¯s something extraordinary about the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity, Gu You never talks much,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself. ¡°I must become a Pseudo-God, pass the fifth trial left by the Ancient Torch Divine to be able to access the ultimate secret.¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Senior Qiu, stop arguing with Senior Gu You,¡± Liu Bing popped out of Li Yuan¡¯s sleeve, chuckling, ¡°You both are helping big brother¡­ big brother is the combination of Earth, Wind and the mysteries of the Laws, and is also contemplating the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯. It¡¯s difficult to find a fitting weapon, neither of your armories have a particularly suitable Pseudo-God artifact.¡±


    ¡°To refine a Pseudo-God artifact that fits big brother, you¡¯ll need to work together,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice was pleasant.


    ¡°Mm, cooperation,¡± Gu You spoke indifferently. ¡°Elder Qiu, you shall guide me, and we will strive to refine a perfectly fitting Pseudo-God artifact for Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°The combined mysteries of two great Laws, it¡¯s indeed not easy to find a suitable weapon,¡± Qiu Bingzun nodded. ¡°Luckily, this Dark Star Divine Spear has an excellent foundation. We just need some minor adjustments and rebuild the Origin, not having to start from scratch.¡±


    Most divine artifacts are of a single Origin, which makes them the easiest to refine.


    If one wants to contain different Mysteries of the Law and perfectly integrate them? That¡¯s extremely difficult.


    Even with Qiu Bingzun and Gu You joining hands, it would be difficult to refine a perfectly fitting Pseudo-God artifact for Li Yuan out of nothing.


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Re-refining the Dark Star Divine Spear won¡¯t consume too many treasures, so you need not contribute.¡±


    ¡°But it will take a long time, probably two or three years, so you¡¯ll need to be patient,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°Fine, no rush,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s knowledge, it was quite normal for deities to spend decades or even centuries refining divine artifacts.


    Merely three years was already short.


    Afterward.


    Gu You put away the Dark Star Divine Spear, and both her and Qiu Bingzun¡¯s Phantoms disappeared.


    ¡°Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing, who was wrapping around his arm, and with a flip of his hand, he took out the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    ¡°Do you think this artifact is of any help to you?¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Recently, in the Divine Artifact Chamber, Liu Bing had not come out because she did not recognize this artifact.


    ¡°This artifact?¡± Liu Bing stared at the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, sensing it carefully for a long while before speaking, ¡°Big brother, this Pseudo-God artifact should be extremely good with speed. If given to me, it would be suitable¡­ but I have something more fitting.¡±


    ¡°My wings, apart from the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡®Sky-Cleaving Wings,¡¯ also have a set of very powerful Magical Treasure wings,¡± Liu Bing smiled, ¡°Though also just a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact, they perfectly fit me, something this Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle cannot match.¡±


    ¡°It is, however, quite suitable for you, big brother,¡± Liu Bing said. ¡°After all, I can¡¯t guarantee to always be by big brother¡¯s side.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Like himself and Liu Bing, they both relied on the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, making their Origin Power reach Demigod levels¡­only then could they activate a Pseudo-God Artifact.


    Normally, a Flying Heaven Warrior could at most use a Semi Divine Artifact.


    A Demigod could at most use a Pseudo-God Artifact.


    There were likely True God Instruments left in the hands of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, but Li Yuan and Liu Bing could not use them. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was also the reason why Gu You and Qiu Bingzun had decided to refine a Divine Spear artifact for Li Yuan¡­Their Divine Artifact Chamber did not have a Pseudo-God Long Spear that was so suitable for Li Yuan.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite normal for Sister Gu You to help me,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself. ¡°But for Senior Qiu to take the initiative¡­probably signifies he values me more.¡±


    Sigh.


    ¡°With the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle,¡± Li Yuan thought, and his body immediately grew large. He was already executing the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± starting to truly refine this Pseudo-God artifact.

 Chapter 684: 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star_2

    Chapter 684: Chapter 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star_2


    Time had passed.


    ¡°Originally, this divine artifact contains a set of escape skill inheritance ¡®Extreme Void,¡¯ which can only be truly comprehended through the Wind Law,¡± Li Yuan understood the true nature of the divine artifact.


    To cultivate this escape skill and control this divine artifact was to unleash its maximum might.


    ¡°This is the method to control the divine artifact.¡±


    ¡°Similarly, through the mystery of the origin of the divine artifact, it can also assist me in comprehending the Wind Law,¡± Li Yuan realized, grasping the essential difference between divine artifacts and semi-divine artifacts.


    The origin of divine artifacts could guide cultivators in their cultivation, acting as an alternative form of inheritance guidance.


    ...


    ¡­


    The Martial Divine Star Realm and its only entrance from the outside world had a massive war base.


    Here, Flying Heaven Warriors along with many common Martial Artists were stationed, mainly in charge of managing resources.


    Secondly, they checked incoming and outgoing personnel to prevent espionage.


    Especially recently, with Duanmu Hong and other strong Flying Heaven Warriors being sent to Lantie Star¡­ the inspections across the entire Martial Divine Star Realm had become stricter.


    After all, the Martial Divine Star Realm was inhabited by top-tier geniuses assembled from within the civilization; a surprise attack by the Alien Race wiping out most of them would be an immense loss.


    Suddenly.


    Boom! A massive warship, appearing abruptly from the void, drastically slowed down and entered the star realm passage radiating with colorful streamers without any inspection.


    ¡°No inspection.¡±


    ¡°No inspection.¡±


    ¡°Whose warship is this? Entering the Martial Divine Star Realm without inspection?¡± dozens of staff at the war base, including two Flying Heaven Warriors, were utterly astonished.


    They knew well that even the Flying Heaven Star Lord, for the most part, didn¡¯t have the privilege to enter the Martial Divine Star Realm directly.


    Moreover, when they attempted to inquire about who it was, the higher authorities responded with ¡°no authority to know.¡±


    This was enough to signify the owner of the warship¡¯s exalted status, definitely one of the core figures in the entire civilization.


    ¡­


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The warship directly entered the star realm through the passage and was immediately monitored by the stationed troops at the other end.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Fourth Rank Battleship.¡±


    ¡°And it¡¯s the top of its class.¡±


    ¡°Target warship, please dock at berth D-3567¡­¡± The Prime Warrior in charge immediately sent the message from the tower.


    But soon after.


    Buzz~ The hundred-meter-long flying saucer-like warship swept across a stream of light and rapidly flew towards Seven Star Mountain at the edge of the sky.


    Simultaneously.


    On the tower screen, a corresponding notification appeared ¡ª ¡°Target warship has the highest authority in the Martial Divine Star Realm, not subject to jurisdiction.¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Not subject to jurisdiction?¡± The group of Prime Warriors in the tower was astonished.


    It was already exceedingly rare for a warship to fly directly into the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    According to the rules, even Fang Hai, who had Second Class Star Lord authority, had to stop in the designated ¡®aircraft docking area¡¯ after bringing Li Yuan to the Martial Divine Star Realm in previous years.


    Not subject to jurisdiction? Who exactly could this person be?


    ¡°Could it perhaps be the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s warship?¡± A Prime Warrior couldn¡¯t help but speculate.


    Indeed, it was too mysterious.


    ¡­


    Beneath Seven Star Mountain, in front of the only tavern in the Martial Divine Star Realm, dozens of people had already gathered.


    ¡°Dantai Feng, is Li Yuan really coming back today?¡±


    ¡°I saw the news and internal bulletins; the conflict on Lantie Star hasn¡¯t entirely concluded yet, has it?¡±


    ¡°Why would I lie to you?¡± Dantai Feng shook his head: ¡°It was Li Yuan who asked me to notify everyone; it¡¯s probably his last time coming back, so according to old customs of the Martial Divine Star Realm, he wanted to host a farewell banquet for everyone.¡±


    In Seven Star Mountain, in terms of relationships, Dantai Feng and Li Yuan were among the closest friends.


    Members of the Martial Divine Hall had an unwritten custom; once anyone broke through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior, they would hold a banquet before leaving to invite many friends as part of the farewell and celebration.


    After all, members of the Martial Divine Hall came from various major planets; once becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior, they usually return to their homelands to assume various duties per the alliance¡¯s orders, making future gatherings difficult.


    ¡°Right, Li Yuan has indeed become a Flying Heaven Warrior and must leave the Martial Divine Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is incredible; he even managed to kill a Demigod. I wonder what position the alliance will arrange for him, probably to guard the entryways of some Third Level Star Realms,¡± many discussed.


    Although Li Yuan didn¡¯t interact much with other members, after spending over eight years in the Martial Divine Star Realm, he naturally had some friends.


    ¡°Dantai, when did Li Yuan send you the message?¡± Jin Huguo couldn¡¯t resist asking.


    ¡°Four hours ago,¡± Dantai Feng replied: ¡°He said he just came back from Lantie Star, and asked us to come to the tavern around this time.¡±


    ¡°Four hours?¡±


    ¡°Just returning from the Six Star Realm by a Fourth Rank Battleship should take more than four hours.¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, Li Yuan still has to report back at the Martial Hall Headquarters,¡± the members of Seven Star Mountain, having considerable insight, were well aware of certain procedures.


    ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s wait a bit longer then.¡± Dantai Feng smiled: ¡°I know ¡®Captain Wang¡¯ who¡¯s stationed at the warship docking area; he¡¯s keeping an eye out for me, and if Li Yuan returns, he will notify me immediately.¡±

    Suddenly¡ª


    ¡°Hmm? Do you see that in the sky?¡±


    ¡°What a beautiful warship!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Fourth Rank Battleship, but how could a Fourth Rank be allowed here? Could it be an enemy?¡± Many members of Seven Star Mountain quickly spotted the massive warship plunging down from the sky.


    For many like Alicia and other True Intent Prime Warriors, a hint of vigilance arose in their hearts.


    They all knew the rules of the Star Realm; even a Fourth Rank Battleship of a Demigod couldn¡¯t directly fly here.


    However, their smart rings hadn¡¯t yet received any invasion alerts.


    ¡°This warship, it¡¯s different from the Fourth Rank Warships I saw during battles in the Star Realm,¡± Alicia said softly.


    Among them, many were Flying Heaven Level Souls, but they still couldn¡¯t sense the interior scene of the warship.

 Chapter 685: 369: Status! Return to Blue Star_3

    Chapter 685: Chapter 369: Status! Return to Blue Star_3


    Finally.


    The warship descended to about a hundred meters above the ground, hovering over the restaurant. Its hundred-meter-long body gave the group of Seven Star Mountain members below a profound sense of pressure.


    Whoosh! The cabin door opened, and a figure in black flew out, rapidly descending in front of everyone.


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Is that Li Yuan on the warship?¡±


    ¡°Does the warship belong to Li Yuan, or did it bring Li Yuan back?¡± Dantai Feng, Jin Huguo, and others were momentarily stunned.


    ...


    If you were to say that Li Yuan had a Fourth Rank Battleship, they wouldn¡¯t be surprised, after all, Semi-Divine experts typically have Fourth Rank battleship mounts.


    But having a Fourth Rank battleship and being able to bring it down to Seven Star Mountain are two different things.


    The former only required wealth, while the latter was a matter of authority.


    In an instant, the Seven Star Mountain members present realized that Li Yuan¡¯s position and authority within the entire civilization had likely reached a level they could scarcely imagine.


    ¡°Dantai, Senior Brother Jin¡­¡± Li Yuan greeted them with a smile, ¡°You all came?¡±


    ¡°Except for Bertman and a few others who went to venture into the Star Realm, most people have arrived,¡± Dantai Feng replied promptly, then curiously asked, ¡°Li Yuan, is this your warship?¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Li Yuan nodded, without concealing anything.


    ¡°My friends, I¡¯ve broken through to the Flying Heaven level. According to the rules of Martial Divine Mountain, this should be my last visit,¡± Li Yuan said to his friends, ¡°Before I leave, I thought it¡¯d be nice to have a gathering.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°A last meal on Li Yuan¡¯s tab.¡±


    ¡°Time really flies,¡± the crowd said, gathering around Li Yuan as they entered the restaurant.


    ¡­


    The banquet lasted for quite some time.


    ¡°Li Yuan, where are you going to be stationed next?¡± Dantai Feng asked curiously, ¡°With your Semi-Divine strength, will you be in Feixing or returning to Blue Star?¡±


    Everyone curiously looked towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Returning to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, ¡°The orders have been issued. This time, when I return to Blue Star, I will serve as the Grand Hall Master of Starfire Blue Star, and I should also take on the role of Blue Star Leader.¡±


    The people here, who would all be Flying Heaven Warriors in the future and a part of the alliance¡¯s upper echelon, usually had broad channels of information. Even if he didn¡¯t say it himself, the news would quickly spread once the enthronement ceremony was held.


    After all, these positions might be mysterious to common folk, but they¡¯re quite ordinary for Flying Heaven Warriors and above. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master of Blue Star?¡±


    ¡°Blue Star Leader?¡± The surrounding members of the Seven Star Mountain were dumbfounded; they knew Li Yuan was powerful, but they hadn¡¯t expected such a meteoric rise.


    Blue Star Leader was effectively the supreme leader of Blue Star!


    From a member of Seven Star Mountain to becoming Blue Star Leader? This was undoubtedly the first such instance in the history of Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Blue Star Leader?¡±


    ¡°Does that mean my grandfather will be working under you?¡± Dantai Feng muttered.


    ¡­


    After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and the news of Li Yuan¡¯s new position as Blue Star Leader quickly spread throughout the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    Atop Seven Star Mountain.


    ¡°Lanyue, I¡¯ll be returning to Blue Star first this time,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, looking at a woman dressed in red.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Lin Lanyue nodded, aware of the responsibilities Li Yuan now shouldered, ¡°I will aim to reach the goal of the Boundary Spirit of World within Worlds. When I break through to the Flying Heaven level, I¡¯ll return to Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Mm, there¡¯s no rush; the Prime Warrior stage is about laying the foundation. Try to awaken the Six Star Pulse as much as possible,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°I will.¡±


    ¡­


    Saying farewell to his many Seven Star Mountain friends, Li Yuan stood in the void, overlooking the vast land below.


    From now on, it would be very difficult to return to the Martial Divine Star Realm.


    From the day he left Blue Star to arrive at the Martial Divine Star Realm, until now, truly leaving¡ªit had been eight years.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go back to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with a light, ¡°From now on, I will be the one to protect Blue Star.¡±


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan entered the warship, and the battleship quickly left the Martial Divine Star Realm, then headed towards the Third Star Realm.


    Without a doubt, the legend Li Yuan left in Seven Star Mountain would be passed down for many years, influencing and inspiring generation after generation of young martial artists.


    ¡­


    In Blue Star Xia Country, at Kunlun Martial University, ten o¡¯clock in the morning.


    Deep within the villa area belonging to the Sixth Institute, where mostly teachers and their families lived, a beautiful lake basked in the winter sun, warmly shining on the people.


    Several people were leisurely fishing in chairs.


    Plop~


    A bobber on the surface of the lake twitched, and one of the fishermen immediately grabbed the rod and with a swift motion, a big fish was netted.


    ¡°Old Li, you¡¯re in luck today,¡± said a handsome young man in a coat, glancing ruefully at his own fishing rod which hadn¡¯t moved all morning.


    ¡°Haha, the luck¡¯s not bad today,¡± replied Li Changzhou, sitting nearby.


    Nowadays, Li Changzhou¡¯s demeanor had clearly changed from the past, and he exuded a noble air, completely unrecognizable as someone who once skirted the edge of life and death.


    Even when fishing with Dean Hai, he was still composed.


    ¡°You still regularly attend the martial arts classes at the school,¡± Dean Hai said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t slack off. You might become a Flying Heaven Warrior, and then we could fish together for life.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warrior? That¡¯s a long way off,¡± Li Changzhou reflected.


    A few years ago, when Li Yuan¡¯s identity was fully exposed, he and his wife Chen Hui moved to Kunlun Martial University.


    The protection here was extremely strong, not only with Origin Power Arrays but also guarded by a group of Flying Heaven Warriors, which even peak level experts would find hard to penetrate.


    At the same time, over the years, he had picked up the dream of becoming a martial artist again, and he had recently broken through to the Fourth Level, successfully becoming a Prime Warrior.


    ¡°It might be difficult for others, but you have a chance,¡± Dean Hai chuckled, ¡°Li Yuan has slain a Demigod, indicating that his power has reached the Semi-Divine Level¡­ with his help, there¡¯s hope you can reach Flying Heaven too.¡±


    ¡°You also have some talent in the Martial Path.¡±


    ¡°The close relatives of a Demigod, if they have some talent, most of them can reach the Flying Heaven Realm,¡± Dean Hai said matter-of-factly.

 Chapter 686: 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star_4

    Chapter 686: Chapter 369: Status! Returning to Blue Star_4


    Demigods, even when they exhausted all their strength, found it difficult to cultivate another demigod.


    But if they just wanted to cultivate a Flying Heaven Warrior, the difficulty was very low.


    After all, the exotic treasures in the eyes of Prime Warriors were things that demigods could easily obtain.


    ¡°I won¡¯t insist,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°He has spent quite a lot of resources helping his aunt, but now he is only level 19.¡±


    ¡°Ha ha, Little Chen is also doing quite good work in the logistics department,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh.


    ¡°You always have to do something, I fish while I cultivate Martial Path,¡± Li Changzhou said with a smile, ¡°She¡¯s also level 19, full of energy; if she were to completely idle, that wouldn¡¯t be good either.¡±


    ...


    The two chatted leisurely.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s eyes narrowed as he looked up at the sky, revealing a hint of surprise, ¡°A warship? Where did this Fourth Rank Battleship come from?¡±


    ¡°What warship?¡± Li Changzhou asked, puzzled. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A Fourth Rank Battleship has the capability for invisibility, once activated ordinary people simply cannot see it, but for Dean Hai who had True Intent Comprehension¡­ at such a close distance, that kind of invisibility was essentially nonexistent.


    ¡°How come it feels just like Old Fang¡¯s warship? Could it be the new principal?¡± Dean Hai stared at the sky, muttering to himself in his heart.


    For the past two years, Kunlun Martial University had not appointed a principal.


    Suddenly¡ª


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s pupils contracted as he saw, several kilometers away in the void, the warship¡¯s cabin door suddenly open.


    Immediately following, a figure flashed at the cabin door, and in an instant, rushed to his front, almost startling Dean Hai into jumping.


    But when he truly sensed the soul¡¯s presence of the comer, Dean Hai¡¯s alertness turned to surprise, ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan?¡± Li Changzhou also put down his fishing rod with surprise and looked towards the black-robed youth standing not far away, somewhat in disbelief.


    It was his beloved nephew!


    ¡°Dean Hai, Uncle,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, after returning from Feixing, he boarded the warship without stopping and came straight back to Kunlun Martial University where his aunt and uncle were.


    For Li Yuan,


    serving as Blue Star Leader was a duty, but being able to gather with family was the most important thing.


    ¡°When did you come back?¡± Li Changzhou couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°This morning we were watching the news; the conflicts on Lantie Star seemed to still be unresolved.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s basically over,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°The various support teams are withdrawing in an orderly manner, I just came back from Lantie Star today.¡±


    Li Changzhou nodded in realization.


    ¡°Dean Hai, thanks for all your help these past years,¡± Li Yuan said, looking at Dean Hai.


    ¡°Ha ha, don¡¯t speak like that, your aunt and uncle are both very nice, I should be thanking your uncle for keeping me company while fishing,¡± Dean Hai laughed, ¡°Are you back this time specially, or are you going back to serve on Blue Star?¡±


    Dean Hai was quite pleased in his heart.


    Given Li Yuan¡¯s strength and position, the fact that he still addressed him in the same manner as always was enough to make him happy.


    ¡°I¡¯m going back to serve on Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Dean Hai said with a laugh, ¡°I was worried you¡¯d stay on Feixing for a long term¡­ You¡¯ve finally come back, go home first.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll come to visit you again soon, Dean Hai,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Then,


    Li Yuan and Li Changzhou flew towards their residence at Kunlun Martial University, with Li Changzhou already contacting Chen Hui to come home.


    Watching the uncle and nephew pair depart,


    ¡°Returning to serve on Blue Star? It¡¯s said that Li Yuan has even successfully slain a demigod,¡± Dean Hai thought to himself, ¡°On returning to Blue Star, what position will he take on? It should be a position at Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°Or will he go to guard the Wanhan Star Realm?¡±


    There was a short amount of time; the latest news about Li Yuan hadn¡¯t reached Blue Star yet, so naturally, Dean Hai wasn¡¯t clear about it.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Dean Hai looked down at his smart wristband, where several messages appeared.


    They were all from his current superior ¡®Star Master Yue Hui,¡¯ a very powerful Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°Hai Yi, on behalf of¡­ I formally inform you that from today onwards, you will no longer serve as the Dean of the Sixth Institute of Kunlun Martial University, having been promoted to Executive Vice President of Kunlun Martial University. If you are willing, please enter the virtual network and sign the contract as soon as possible.¡± The message was simple, yet the content was rich.


    ¡°Executive Vice President?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s face lit up with brilliance.

 Chapter 687: 370: Demigods of Blue Star

    Chapter 687: Chapter 370: Demigods of Blue Star


    Normally, above the Dean, there would be several Vice Chancellors, among whom one would be selected as the Executive Vice Chancellor.


    As far as he knew, the several Vice Chancellors of the university had been competing for this position for several years now.


    How had it suddenly become his turn?


    Dean Hai immediately sent a message to Star Master Yue Hui to find out the reason.


    ¡°The appointment was made today by the newly appointed Blue Star Leader and Starfire Chief Hall Master,¡± Star Master Yue Hui replied directly: ¡°Hai Yi, in fact, given your relationship with Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang, you could have taken on the role of Executive Vice Chancellor years ago.¡±


    Hai Yi knew exactly who the ¡®Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang¡¯ mentioned by Star Master Yue Hui was.


    ...


    Fang Hai!


    That was the Seven Star Chief Hall Master of the Starfire Martial Hall, now a top three force within the Seven Star Alliance.


    Dean Hai and Fang Hai had once weathered life and death together as a team of Martial Artists, which was the reason for their extremely good relationship.


    But not many people were aware of this connection.


    ¡°Only, at that time, you had just made a breakthrough and were not experienced enough.¡±


    ¡°Now, in terms of strength and experience, there should be no problem with you serving as Vice Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University,¡± conveyed Star Master Yue Hui: ¡°Moreover, if the new Chief Hall Master didn¡¯t appoint you, it would be quite strange.¡±


    Newly appointed Blue Star Leader? Dean Hai was confused.


    That was the top leader of Blue Star, generally taken on by a Semi-Divine, with thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star. What could this possibly have to do with him?


    ¡°Who is the new Blue Star Leader?¡±


    Dean Hai asked, puzzled: ¡°I remember, wasn¡¯t the previous Blue Star Leader also served by Soylo Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Star Master Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s your good student,¡± replied Star Master Yue Hui directly: ¡°I only just received the notification from Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Star Master Li Yuan is one of the stronger ones among the Semi-Divine Intermediate Rank, and should already have been promoted to First Rank Star Master.¡±


    ¡°First Rank Star Master? Li Yuan?¡± Hai Yi was somewhat stunned.


    The newly appointed Blue Star Leader was the just-appeared Li Yuan?


    The appointment for the Executive Vice Chancellor earlier, was it also made by him?


    This! This!


    ¡°Fine, old Hai,¡± Star Master Yue Hui sent with a chuckle: ¡°You and Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang have always had a great relationship, and now Chief Hall Master Li is your student¡­ Your lucky break has arrived. From now on, if I ask for your help with some matters, you can¡¯t turn a blind eye, okay?¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Hai Yi responded somewhat randomly, then disconnected the communication; his mind was still a bit clouded.


    He knew Li Yuan was incredibly powerful, even capable of slaying Semi-Divines.


    But there was a difference between slaying a Semi-Divine and taking on the role of Blue Star Leader and becoming a First Rank Star Master.


    ¡°It is said that the Semi-Divines Li Yuan killed were just those who had recently ascended,¡± he thought.


    ¡°Yet he was granted the title of First Rank Star Master.¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean that Li Yuan is now one of the top ten beings in the entire civilization?¡± thought Hai Yi to himself: ¡°Li Yuan is only 27 years old, too.¡±


    Less than thirty, and standing at the pinnacle of civilization?


    ¡°Hmm, I should find time to see Li Yuan again,¡± Hai Yi said: ¡°He is currently gathering with his family, so I¡¯ll wait until the afternoon to go meet him.¡±


    Hai Yi had helped Li Yuan many times before.


    But in his heart, he was well aware that Li Yuan was only his disciple in name, and their emotional bond wasn¡¯t that deep. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I can¡¯t be putting on airs as a teacher,¡± Hai Yi thought to himself: ¡°From now on, I need to be even more low-key, and not publicly promote my relationship with Li Yuan.¡±


    He wasn¡¯t in a rush to sign the contract on the virtual network.


    He decided to see Li Yuan again first.


    ¡­


    ¡°This Hai Yi, really has good luck,¡± murmured Star Master Yue Hui, who was thousands of kilometers away: ¡°First Fang Hai, and now Li Yuan, he¡¯s really hit the jackpot.¡±


    ¡°Fortunately.¡±


    ¡°I had the sense to recognize my place when he was under my command for those years, I haven¡¯t offended him,¡± said Star Master Yue Hui to himself.


    He knew that in terms of strength, Hai Yi was not his match.


    But sometimes, it¡¯s about luck¡­ And clearly, Hai Yi¡¯s luck surpassed his own.


    ¡°Maybe in the future, I can also offer guidance to some young geniuses? Make some good karma?¡± Star Master Yue Hui thought to himself.


    ¡­


    Shortly after Hai Yi received the appointment, in a very special space within the Blue Star virtual network.


    From the outside, this entire space appeared to be a huge black stone.


    This place was a mysterious location within the Blue Star virtual network, unknown even to some so-called ¡®administrators¡¯.


    The Black Stone Forbidden Area was the ¡®Supreme Council¡¯ meeting place of Black Stone Martial Hall within the Blue Star virtual network, only accessible to Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Today, within the highest level of the Black Stone Forbidden Area.


    A massive screen emerged.


    Within the screen appeared the figure of Lant Semi-Divine, looking at the other side.


    ¡°Elder Lant,¡± a middle-aged white man with fiery red hair spoke with respect: ¡°I will definitely follow your instructions, set a good example, and fully cooperate with Li Yuan to make a contributions to the defense of Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°Please rest assured.¡±


    ¡°However, although Li Yuan is powerful, comparable to me, and his potential for the future is limitless¡­ he is still young. If some things do not adhere to the rules, I will not comply entirely,¡± the middle-aged white man said solemnly: ¡°I will consider the interests of the Martial Hall and even the overall situation of the whole Alliance.¡± ¡°I hope Elder Lant you can understand this point.¡±


    ¡°Soylo,¡± Lant Semi-Divine looked at the middle-aged white man, naturally picking up on the dissatisfaction in his words.


    ¡°I know you¡¯re not pleased.¡±


    ¡°By usual standards, after Bai Shan stepped down, you should have been appointed as Blue Star Leader, your strength and experience were sufficient.¡± Lant Semi-Divine shared: ¡°When Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang stepped down and you served temporarily as Blue Star Leader¡­ and then you had to step down, indeed, it was not very kind.¡±


    ¡°But, this is the arrangement of the Chief Alliance Leader, and you must comply,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said to the white middle-aged man.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine nodded. He seemed not to oppose it but did not state anything further.


    Lant Semi-Divine sighed inwardly, knowing the other harbored resentment.


    Anyone who experienced such a thing would feel resentful.


    But nobody could defy Dongfang Ji¡¯s orders¡ªeven he couldn¡¯t.


    Similarly, he couldn¡¯t forcefully command Soylo Semi-Divine, either.


    The other was a Level 44 Semi-Divine, who could possibly break through to Semi-Divine Peak at any time. He was also an important member of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s military strength and had earned considerable merits for the civilization.


    Such a Semi-Divine deserved a certain level of respect.


    ¡°Position is not important; what¡¯s most important is strength,¡± Lant Semi-Divine finally advised. ¡°You are the most likely in our Black Stone Martial Hall to become Semi-Divine Peak. Do not slacken.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± replied Soylo Semi-Divine.


    Then, Lant Semi-Divine terminated the communication.


    Soon.


    Hisss~ Hisss~ In the hall, a vast array of light converged, rapidly forming two figures.


    One was a figure clad in a golden robe, tall and handsome, dazzlingly brilliant.


    The other was a woman dressed in black, surrounded by a hazy glow of fire, appearing quite mysterious.


    ¡°Kuba, Selvie, you two have arrived,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine said softly.


    The three of them.


    Were the Black Stone Martial Hall¡¯s three Semi-Divines in Blue Star, naturally very united.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang and Chief Hall Master are unfair!¡± Kuba Semi-Divine, who shone like the sun, growled, ¡°Big brother, you are clearly the strongest, only one step away from Semi-Divine Peak. Even Bai Shan, if not for the Chief Alliance Leader¡¯s favor in giving him a Divine Artifact, might not be your match¡­ I have no objections about Li Yuan becoming the Starfire Blue Star Main Hall Master, as that¡¯s an internal affair of the Starfire Martial Hall.¡±


    ¡°But why is he directly getting the position of Blue Star Leader?¡±


    ¡°Directly asking you to resign and then handing it over to him, how does that make any sense?¡± Kuba Semi-Divine said in a low voice.


    ¡°They hoped I would resign, they discussed it with me, and I agreed,¡± replied Soylo Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Would anybody believe that if you said it out loud?¡± Kuba Semi-Divine scoffed. ¡°What merits does he have for Blue Star? In terms of merits, in terms of strength, on what grounds does he surpass you?¡±


    ¡°When they need you, they let you hold multiple positions. But as soon as someone else can take over¡­ they just kick you to the curb. Was this discussed during the Alliance conference? I refuse to accept it!¡±


    ¡°Kuba,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine frowned and said, ¡°In terms of strength, Li Yuan is not inferior to me, and with his potential, he might become Divine in the future¡­ Some things should only be said among us and not out there.¡±


    ¡°Big brother,¡±


    ¡°You consider the bigger picture and are willing to give up the position of Blue Star Leader, but this goes against the rules,¡± Kuba Semi-Divine said coldly. ¡°I will not accept it, even if he Ascends to God.¡±


    ¡°Kuba,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine found it to be a headache.


    Kuba Semi-Divine, having broken through to Semi-Divine Middle Rank not long ago, was powerful but extremely headstrong.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t accept it in your heart, you still have to endure,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine said. ¡°The Semi-Divine conference is coming up soon. Bai Shan and Dantai Fenglie will be attending, and you must not show any of this, understood?¡±


    ¡°Big brother, I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you, but I won¡¯t be attending this Semi-Divine conference,¡± said Kuba Semi-Divine in a deep voice.


    Then,


    Whoosh~ Kuba Semi-Divine¡¯s figure vanished abruptly, clearly cutting off the virtual network connection.


    ¡°This guy,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine sighed, rather helplessly. ¡°Selvie, you will accompany me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to big brother,¡± said the woman in black, nodding. Her temperament was mild; she seldom involved herself in internal affairs of the Martial Hall.


    But the three Semi-Divines of the Black Stone Martial Hall were very united.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan Semi-Divine has sent a message.¡±


    ¡°Xia Country time, ten o¡¯clock at night, a Semi-Divine conference will be convened,¡± said Soylo Semi-Divine.


    ¡­


    Kunlun Martial University.


    Inside the villa where Li Changzhou lived, Li Yuan was already gathered with his uncle and aunt for dinner.


    Aunt Chen Hui was extremely happy about Li Yuan¡¯s return, and the family was chatting together.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t accept it in your heart, you still have to endure,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine said. ¡°The Semi-Divine conference is coming up soon. Bai Shan and Dantai Fenglie will be attending, and you must not show any of this, understood?¡±

    Aunt Chen Hui was extremely happy about Li Yuan¡¯s return, and the family was chatting together.

    Chapter 688: Chapter 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin


    They say red energy nourishes the body, and indeed, Li Changzhou and Chen Hui had surpassed their physical quality and temperament from ten years ago by far after these years¡­ Yet, even so, they were still astounded by Li Yuan¡¯s achievements nowadays.


    They were quite excited and happy.


    After the meal,


    ¡°Uncle, Aunt,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°from now on, for the next few years, I will probably stay at Kunlun Martial University, acting as the Kunlun Martial University chancellor.¡±


    ¡°Kunlun Martial University chancellor?¡± Li Changzhou and Chen Hui actually found it quite normal.


    Having even been the Blue Star Leader, the position of a university chancellor was comparatively less significant.


    ...


    ¡°This time returning, I have also brought some gifts for you, Uncle and Aunt,¡± Li Yuan said, and with a wave of his hand,


    Whoosh! Two streaks of light flew out, appearing liquid-like before eventually coalescing into two human figures.


    ¡°Master,¡± the two liquid robots said respectfully.


    Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were dumbfounded, as such robots had not yet appeared on Blue Star.


    ¡°Uncle, these are two liquid robots, each with the strength of a 30th Level Flying Heaven Warrior,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°I have had them lock onto your scents¡­ From now on, they will only obey your commands, and they will also protect you closely if you leave Kunlun Martial University.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Warrior strength?¡± Li Changzhou was astonished, as he himself was a 20th Level Foundation Establishing Warrior and understood the significance of such strength.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, how much did this cost?¡± Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Cost?¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    To him now, money was meaningless. These two Flying Heaven Level robots were exchanged from the Seven Stars Treasury, accessible only to those above Second Class Star Master, with a limited quantity available¡­ One robot cost 20,000 Seven Stars Points.


    The price was even higher than that of a Semi Divine Artifact.


    These robots, even in a Seven Star Civilization, were rare and had many flaws, like possessing only sheer power, far fewer auxiliary abilities than real Flying Heaven Warriors, and requiring Divine Crystals as energy sources¡­ Usually, some demigods would exchange for them, using them to protect their close relatives or some young talents.


    Some special important places also had these robots stationed.


    ¡°Aunt, money is now meaningless to me. For these kind of robots, even 500 billion Blue Star Coins, a trillion Blue Star Coins, wouldn¡¯t be enough to purchase them,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°Additionally, I have arranged a training plan for you and prepared some cultivation treasures¡­ From now on, these two robots will check on your physical condition daily, then administer the treasures, and ensure you practice.¡±


    ¡°Cultivating Martial Path?¡± Chen Hui shook her head, ¡°Xiao Yuan, becoming a Foundation Establishing Warrior requires Fourth Level skills¡­ My current Physical Quality is Level 19, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no hope, don¡¯t waste resources on me.¡±


    ¡°Aunt.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°if you just put a little effort, I can¡¯t guarantee that you become a Flying Heaven Warrior, but becoming a Foundation Establishing Warrior isn¡¯t difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan had exchanged some treasures from the Seven Stars Treasury intended primarily for enhancing the Soul Realm.


    Once the Soul Realm was enhanced, cultivating Martial Arts Skills would naturally be much easier.


    ¡°For Uncle, becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior is not difficult,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    ¡°But¡­¡± Chen Hui still wanted to say something.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not have any ¡®buts¡¯,¡± Li Changzhou said interruptively with a smile, ¡°Just listen to Xiao Yuan, we¡¯ll do as he arranges and put our best effort into cultivating.¡±


    Chen Hui nodded and didn¡¯t speak further.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, should we tell Muhua and others about your return?¡± Li Changzhou asked.


    Li Changzhou¡¯s mentality shifted rapidly.


    He realized that with Li Yuan¡¯s current status, anything related to him was no small matter.


    In terms of power, Li Yuan was much more influential than some ancient emperors, possessing immense might braced in one individual; Li Changzhou was very perceptive.


    ¡°Ok,¡± Li Yuan thought for a moment, ¡°Muhua and Qian Qian can come over if they find time. I haven¡¯t seen them in a long time.¡±


    ¡°By the way, have Muhua bring his siblings too. I couldn¡¯t attend his wedding, so this time I should prepare gifts for his sisters,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Changzhou said.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze shifted, ¡°Uncle, I need to step out for a moment, Dean Hai has arrived, probably looking for me.¡±


    ¡°Go ahead, you¡¯re busy,¡± Li Changzhou quickly replied. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Watching Li Yuan leave, the two robots continued to stand beside, heads bowed, not uttering a word.


    ¡°Wife,¡± Li Changzhou whispered, ¡°how he plans for us to cultivate Martial Arts, Xiao Yuan surely has it all arranged; we just follow the plan and diligently cultivate.¡±


    ¡°But I have no talent in Martial Arts,¡± Chen Hui shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I might let down Xiao Yuan¡¯s expectations and waste the treasures¡­ I¡¯m not foolish, to make someone like me a Foundation Establishing Warrior, even becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior¡­ I can hardly fathom the value.¡±


    Chen Hui had a strong analytical mind as an academic.


    She quickly grasped Li Yuan¡¯s sacrifice.


    ¡°Different strengths, different values of treasures,¡± Li Changzhou shook his head. ¡°Xiao Yuan, it¡¯s said, can now slay demigods¡­ do you understand what a demigod is? Bai Shan, he is a demigod.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s rumored that Dongfang Ji was also a demigod.¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan? Dongfang Ji?¡± Chen Hui gasped; she was naturally aware of these two individuals.


    ¡°One thing,¡±


    ¡°Xiao Yuan is most likely the top warrior of the entire civilization now, possibly the current strongest in Blue Star,¡± Li Changzhou said, ¡°He is our pride, but we also need to work hard and not become his weak point.¡±


    ¡°Weak point?¡± Chen Hui was stunned.


    ¡°Why did we move here from Jiang City?¡± Li Changzhou exclaimed, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because Xiao Yuan¡¯s identity was exposed, we were worried Alien Races might capture us to threaten Xiao Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Now, his strength is greater, and more Alien Races are focusing on him; many Alien Races are far stronger than our Seven Star Civilization.¡±

 Chapter 689: 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_2

    Chapter 689: Chapter 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_2


    ¡°Yuan highly values relationships.¡±


    ¡°If we were captured by the Alien Race, and then they threatened Yuan to do something, would Yuan refuse?¡± Li Changzhou asked.


    Chen Hui hadn¡¯t considered it that deeply.


    ¡°Yuan has arranged such powerful robots to protect us, is it because he is afraid we might trip outside and get chased by dogs?¡± Li Changzhou shook his head. ¡°Yuan is guarding against the Alien Race.¡±


    ¡°We must also strive hard.¡±


    ¡°If we could become Flying Heaven Warriors ourselves, then, wouldn¡¯t Yuan feel much more relieved? It¡¯s better to be powerful oneself than to rely on others for protection.¡± Li Changzhou looked at his wife with a smile. ¡°Our nephew is destined to become a leader of civilization; we cannot be his burden.¡±


    ...


    Chen Hui couldn¡¯t help nodding; her husband made sense.


    ¡°Moreover.¡±


    ¡°I heard that becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior could let one live for 500 years.¡± Li Changzhou laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t you want that?¡±


    500 years? Chen Hui¡¯s heart stirred.


    Who wouldn¡¯t desire longevity?


    ¡°But becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior is too difficult,¡± Chen Hui sighed. ¡°I see that even the deans of those institutions are just Flying Heaven Warriors.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed hard,¡± Li Changzhou laughed. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s good to make an effort.¡±


    ¡­


    At Kunlun Martial University, in the space above.


    ¡°Should I address you as Dean or as Grand Hall Master?¡± Hai Yi seemed a bit helpless.


    ¡°Ha ha, Dean, stop joking.¡± Li Yuan laughed. ¡°Even if I ascended to godhood, I would still be the student who was brought up by you, and I should still address you as Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s against the rules,¡± Hai Yi shook his head.


    ¡°If I say it¡¯s within the rules, then it is,¡± Li Yuan smiled; Dean Hai had indeed helped him a lot.


    That affection, Li Yuan naturally remembered.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Hai Yi nodded, not insisting further, but he secretly resolved that in public, he would still address Li Yuan as Grand Hall Master or Commander.


    ¡°Li Yuan, is the appointment I received today issued by you?¡± Hai Yi asked.


    ¡°Yes, I need to ask for your help, Dean,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°I¡¯m technically the Head of Kunlun Martial University, but I¡¯m actually here to protect the Kunlun Star Realm. I don¡¯t really understand the specifics of managing the school.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t assign you just on my personal preference.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve briefly looked through some of the school¡¯s reports from the past few years, and I feel you¡¯ve done a great job, and the Sixth Institute is developing well,¡± Li Yuan spoke. ¡°Your strength is sufficient, and coincidentally the position of Executive Vice Chancellor is vacant¡­ so I appointed you.¡±


    ¡°Actually, I understand that this appointment will cause you some trouble,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°The duties of an Executive Vice Chancellor are even more demanding, as I¡¯m not willing to deal with school affairs.¡±


    Hai Yi suddenly understood.


    Of course, Hai Yi also knew that just having the ability wasn¡¯t enough to earn a promotion¡­ many suitable people were available for many positions.


    Why choose him?


    ¡°Dean,¡± Li Yuan spoke, ¡°you helped me quite a lot back then, and now I¡¯m troubling you to take on the role of Executive Vice Chancellor¡­ I came back in a hurry and didn¡¯t prepare any additional gifts.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan waved his hand, and immediately six weapons and treasures emerged in front of Hai Yi.


    Six artifacts in total.


    ¡°These?¡± Dean Hai¡¯s pupils shrank; he was a Flying Heaven Middle Stage Warrior and could sense that these were all Semi Divine Artifacts.


    Six Semi Divine Artifacts?


    Before Dean Hai could react, he already received a notification¡­ his Seven Stars Treasury account had received a transfer of 30,000 Seven Stars Points.


    From Star Master Li Yuan.


    ¡°This? Li Yuan, this gift is too¡­¡± Dean Hai kept saying; the gift indeed exceeded his capacity.


    Typically, the total wealth and treasures of a normal Flying Heaven Warrior amounted to a few hundred to a few thousand Seven Stars Points.


    Typically, only Flying Heaven Peak Warriors had a hope of exceeding ten thousand.


    ¡°Dean, just take it,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°These gifts mean little to me.¡±


    These Semi Divine Artifacts were all gathered by Li Yuan from the thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors he and Liu Bing had defeated.


    They were all Water Attribute. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    In the end, Dean Hai accepted the gift from Li Yuan; he really had no choice, as this gift was indeed important for him.


    Semi Divine Artifacts were enough to significantly enhance his power.


    And the 30,000 Seven Stars Points would allow him to exchange for other treasures, such as Fourth Rank Treasures, possibly advancing his comprehension of True Intent further¡­ A warrior¡¯s strength depended greatly on themselves, but the external environment was equally important.


    ¡­


    Time passed.


    The news of Li Yuan becoming ¡®Blue Star Leader¡¯ gradually spread among the upper echelons of the entire Blue Star.


    Simultaneously, many Flying Heaven Warriors all over Blue Star also received the news that the ¡®Blue Star Leader Inauguration Ceremony¡¯ would be held in the virtual network in a half month.


    Such ceremonies were always conducted in the virtual network.


    After all, many demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors had duties, some guarding the entrances and exits of the Star Realms and could not leave lightly¡­ Holding it in the virtual network allowed everyone to gather.


    Night fell gradually.


    In winter, Kunlun Martial University was still quite cold; a giant, invisible warship was floating a kilometer above the school.


    Outside the warship.


    Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the metallic outer shell of the warship, quietly regulating his breath and pondering, feeling the wonderful fluctuations flowing through the world around him.


    ¡°Wind!¡±


    ¡°The melody of the wind.¡± Li Yuan silently sensed, ¡°Ever since I cultivated the ¡®True Meaning of the Heavenly Wind Star Meridian¡¯ to the extreme of the Third Rank, my comprehension of the True Meaning of Wind has indeed accelerated significantly.¡±


    Li Yuan felt quite pleased; his entire being seemed to merge completely with the melody of the wind.


    Ever since that year when he received the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯ body refining from Qiu Bingzun, and practiced the Nine Layers auxiliary body refinement techniques.


    That had greatly advanced Li Yuan¡¯s innate talent in the Wind Vein.


    ¡°Phantom Body!¡±


    ¡°Extreme Speed!¡±


    ¡°Pulsation!¡±


    ¡°These are the three major directions of the Wind Law; comprehending any direction to its limit contains infinite mysteries and can achieve great success,¡± Li Yuan realized. ¡°The Thousand Illusions Formation Map contains over a thousand mysterious pulsations, seemingly in the Phantom Body line, but thousands of mysteries perfectly intertwined, unaffected by each other, forming a complete array map.¡±

 Chapter 690: 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_3

    Chapter 690: Chapter 371 The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Origin_3


    ¡°The ¡®Extreme Void¡¯ secret technique contained within the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle,¡±


    ¡°pursues ultimate speed.¡±


    ¡°¡±The Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± in essence, incorporates the mystery of the Phantom Body,


    making the Spear Technique elusive and unpredictable, ever-changing.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s deeper comprehension and higher realm allowed him to grasp a phrase ¡°Laws inherently unite as one,¡±


    the many directions of a single Law Origin of the Great Dao are, in fact, interrelated,


    ...


    forming an integrated whole.¡±


    ¡°When I contemplate True Intent, I can focus on the mystery of Illusory Body.¡±


    ¡°But to step into the Law Level, I must absorb as many other mysteries of the Wind Vein as possible,


    integrating them.¡± Li Yuan thoughtfully added, ¡°It¡¯s not just beneficial for me to cross the Threshold of the Law.¡±


    ¡°It will also greatly benefit my future control over higher level Mysteries of the Law.¡± Li Yuan gradually clarified the path ahead.


    The transformation from the True Meaning of Earth to the Mystery of the Principle of Earth occurs during combat with a Semi-Divine,


    gaining insights from other Semi-Divine¡¯s techniques, leading to breakthroughs.


    However, epiphanies are fortuitous and can¡¯t be sought after.


    Even with a comprehension as high as Li Yuan¡¯s, genuine epiphanies are few and far between.


    Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough on the Wind Law would clearly be more methodical,


    to achieve the purpose of accumulating and releasing at the right moment.


    ¡°It won¡¯t be much longer.¡±


    ¡°I should be able to cross the Threshold of the Wind Law soon.¡± Li Yuan had a vague sense that he was very close to this level.


    Hu!


    Once again, with a thought, Li Yuan immediately sensed a vast oscillation within Heaven and Earth.


    This oscillation was far more vast, profound, and majestic than the true intent fluctuation of the wind between Heaven and Earth.


    It seemed like the origin of everything.


    The origin of all things.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s strong spirit, he was shaken when he first sensed this vast oscillation.


    ¡°The Earth Origin.¡±


    ¡°The Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao.¡± Li Yuan knew exactly what he had sensed.


    This was one of the origins of the vast Heaven and Earth.


    According to what Li Yuan understood about Divine Realm knowledge, this so-called Heaven and Earth does not refer to this dimensional plane,


    nor the Mortal Domain, not even the Divine Realm¡­ but refers to all known and unknown worlds.


    ¡°Where matter exists.¡±


    ¡°Where space exists.¡±


    ¡°There must be an origin¡­ and the origin of all things and spirits, is the Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao.¡± Li Yuan referred to the descriptions contained within the Inheritance Crystal Stone.


    The Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao represents the ultimate reasons and ironclad rules for the operation of the universe.


    Like a Pseudo-God living for 5000 years.


    A True God has a lifespan of 30,000 years.


    Even for a powerful Heavenly Divine, they must fall once 300,000 years pass¡­ these are the ironclad rules of Heaven and Earth cycle, and no one can defy them.


    ¡°Even within the Divine Realm,¡±


    ¡°countless powerful beings ponder the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Origin to gradually control these ultimate truths.¡± Li Yuan internally remarked, ¡°Only by crossing the Threshold of the Law can one barely be called a ¡®cultivator¡¯ in the vast and boundless Divine Realm.¡±


    No matter how strong Semi-Divine beings, Pseudo-Gods or True Gods are,


    and even the legendary Heavenly Divines, they are all on the path of contemplating the Heaven and Earth Origin Great Dao¡­ their depth of comprehension varies.


    ¡°Before crossing the Threshold of the Law, one contemplates the operation of the Power of Heaven and Earth.¡±


    ¡°After crossing the Threshold of the Law, one can vaguely sense the Earth Origin of Heaven and Earth.¡± Li Yuan sensed very clearly, the many puzzles while pondering ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± were being solved.


    All mysteries can find answers from the Heaven and Earth Origin.


    ¡°No wonder, those Semi-Divines,¡±


    ¡°once stepping into the Threshold of the Law, can strengthen their Origin Power, and even nurture their souls with Law.¡± Li Yuan reflected with emotion: ¡°Indeed, this is a transformation.¡±


    Being able to cross the Threshold of the Law signifies that one¡¯s comprehension of the Mysteries of the Heaven and Earth has reached a profound level.


    According to what Li Yuan knew,


    many weak civilizations, without much heritage or guidance from ancestors¡­ but among the descendants of strong beings generation after generation, Divine beings are ultimately born.


    The most crucial point among them is crossing the Threshold of Law during the contemplation of Heaven and Earth Mysteries.


    Ultimately, under the guidance of the Heaven and Earth Origin, they continue to progress, until eventually Lighting Divine Fire.


    ¡°As for now,¡±


    ¡°I am constantly contemplating True Intent and Law.¡±


    ¡°Constantly refining the Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°Then, every once in a while, continue awakening the Life Star.¡± Li Yuan was clear about what he needed to do.


    Serving as the Blue Star Leader was secondary.


    The key was still his own strength.


    ¡°I must strive hard, never lax.¡±


    ¡°Star Meridian, with the aid of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, I have become exceedingly powerful, even among the top echelon in the Divine Realm,¡± Li Yuan mused to himself. ¡°However, as for the growth of skills and comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the Mind Spirit Divine Palace can¡¯t help one bit¡­ I can only rely on myself.¡±


    ¡°Compared to Little Ice, I¡¯m a bit slow. It seems that Little Ice¡¯s Law Comprehension is about to reach the Seventh Stage High Rank. If compared with those unparalleled geniuses in the Divine Realm, I have even less advantage in terms of Law Comprehension.¡± Li Yuan did not let his current achievements inflate his ego.


    Little Ice was a top-tier Wind Elemental Divine Beast with a remarkable talent for the Wind Law.


    But the Divine Realm is vast and boundless, teeming with countless lives, and every generation gives birth to incredible monstrous talents.


    Many of these prodigies comprehend the Laws at a speed that even the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent would marvel at.


    ¡­


    Dedicated cultivation always made time pass quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already 9:50 in the evening.


    Li Yuan had just returned to the battleship and, with a thought, sent a thread of his mind into the Blue Star virtual network.


    A Fourth Rank Battleship doesn¡¯t need a Virtual Network Cabin to connect directly to the virtual network.


    Blue Star virtual network.


    A place shrouded in mystery, here lay a vast Temple, beneath which was a cerulean planet.


    Hu!


    Following the guidance granted by his privileges, Li Yuan arrived instantly at the ¡®Blue Star Temple.¡¯


    ¡°A Temple, below which is the Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan stood at the entrance of the Temple, and the cerulean planet below caught his eye in a single glance.


    The implication was that those capable of coming to this planet were the core guardians of the entire Blue Star.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice sounded, and a figure appeared at the end of the corridor.


    ¡°Elder Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up; the figure in the distance was an elder dressed in white casual wear.


    It was indeed Bai Shan.


    ¡°Today, our main character has arrived a bit late,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Focused on cultivation, I arrived a little late,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Oh? Are you about to make another breakthrough? When will you have the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine teased, ¡°Then you¡¯ll be able to suppress this old man with a flip of your hand.¡±


    ¡°Elder, you jest,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Semi-Divine Peak? That was not so easily achieved.


    ¡°I heard about your accomplishments on Lantie Star, fighting one against three, even when trapped by an Origin Power Array,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t have come out unscathed either.¡±


    ¡°Your strength, I¡¯m afraid, is already greater than mine.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled. As far as he knew, Bai Shan Semi-Divine was at level 44. Although he had been cultivating for hundreds of years, his Law Comprehension was still at the Initial stage of the Seventh Stage¡­ His strength had long reached a bottleneck.


    However, Bai Shan Semi-Divine possessed several Divine Artifacts, which made his power truly fearsome.


    ¡°Today is the Semi-Divine Conference.¡±


    ¡°However, before the conference begins, I have called over a few heads of the Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°From now on, they will be handed over to you.¡±


    Soon.


    At the wave of Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s hand, several figures materialized and promptly bowed with respect: ¡°We meet the Grand Hall Master, we meet the Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°A Temple, below which is the Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan stood at the entrance of the Temple, and the cerulean planet below caught his eye in a single glance.


    The implication was that those capable of coming to this planet were the core guardians of the entire Blue Star.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A deep voice sounded, and a figure emerged at the end of the corridor.


    ¡°Elder Bai Shan,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, the figure in the distance was an elder dressed in white leisure wear.


    It was indeed Bai Shan.


    ¡°Today, our protagonist has come a bit late,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    ¡°Focused on cultivation, I arrived a little late,¡± Li Yuan responded with a smile.


    ¡°Oh? Are you about to make a breakthrough? When will you have the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine joked, ¡°At that time, you¡¯ll be able to suppress this old man with a flip of your hand.¡±


    ¡°Elder, you jest,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    Semi-Divine Peak? That was not so easily achieved. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about your exploits on Lantie Star, fighting one against three, even whilst ensnared by an Origin Power Array,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a chuckle. ¡°If it were me, I would not have come out in one piece.¡±


    ¡°Your strength, perhaps, is already greater than mine.¡±


    Li Yuan simply smiled. By his knowledge, Bai Shan Semi-Divine was level 44, having cultivated for hundreds of years, yet his Law Comprehension was still at the Initial Rank of Seventh Stage¡­ His strength had long hit a ceiling.


    Still, Bai Shan Semi-Divine wielded several Divine Artifacts, making his power quite formidable.


    ¡°Today is the Semi-Divine Conference.¡±


    ¡°But, before the conference starts, I¡¯ve also summoned several heads from the Starfire Martial Hall,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°From now on, they are in your hands.¡±


    Quite quickly.


    At the beckoning of Bai Shan Semi-Divine, several figures appeared, each bowing respectfully: ¡°Greetings to the Grand Hall Master, greetings to the Semi-Divine.¡±

 Chapter 691: 372 Commander Li Yuan

    Chapter 691: Chapter 372 Commander Li Yuan


    ¡°Alright, the three of you may leave,¡± Li Yuan instructed, ¡°From now on, there is no need to see me specially other than for regular business reports. If there is anything important, I will naturally come to see you.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Yue Hui, the Star Master, and the other two replied respectfully and quickly departed.


    In the corridor, only Li Yuan was left alone.


    ¡°The Grand Hall Master¡¯s power and influence are indeed substantial,¡± Li Yuan mused silently, ¡°The Starfire Martial Hall even towers above all nations.¡±


    Only as his own martial cultivation and strength surged, and his authority increased, did Li Yuan truly understand the foundation of what the Starfire Martial Hall was.


    At its core, Starfire, Starry Sky, and Black Stone, these three Great Martial Halls formed the Seven Star Alliance¡­ and the multitude of nations were nothing but subordinates to the Seven Star Alliance.


    ...


    Ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors were often loyal to a particular nation.


    But anyone who reached the peak of Flying Heaven would typically join one of the Martial Halls, because the best treasures and channels, as well as many Star Techniques and Secret Manuals, were directly controlled by the Martial Halls.


    And the Demigods, they all belonged to one of the three Great Martial Halls.


    ¡°The power of Demigods allows them to transcend nations,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to meet these Demigods of Blue Star.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, and he arrived at a higher floor in accordance with directions, reaching the meeting room at the end of the corridor.


    The meeting room wasn¡¯t large, and inside was a round table surrounded by many luxurious chairs upon which six figures sat waiting, each exuding a formidable aura. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The main seat at the round table, however, remained suspended and unoccupied.


    Upon seeing Li Yuan enter the meeting room, the six figures all rose to their feet.


    ¡°Welcome, Commander Li Yuan,¡± the red-haired Caucasian man sitting beside the main seat said with a smile.


    ¡°Welcome, Commander Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Welcome.¡±


    ¡°Haha, I knew Commander Li Yuan would rise to prominence when he swept through the Second Level Star Realms two years ago, but to think it would be so fast¡ªwe are all truly impressed,¡± the burly bald man in Black Armor laughed heartily.


    ¡°He is formidable indeed,¡± another elder in extravagant clothing said with a smile, ¡°Though young, Commander Li Yuan campaigned across the Ming Xu Star Realm, sweeping through numerous Second Level Star Realms, saving the Lantie Star in crisis, slaying Demigods¡­ such dazzling achievements have earned you immense merit for our entire civilization. You truly deserve your position as Commander.¡±


    Before Li Yuan could speak, the assembly of Demigods began to speak up, showing great enthusiasm.


    This scene left Li Yuan slightly surprised in his heart.


    Is everyone so enthusiastic?


    ¡°You all are my seniors; your praise is too generous,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°I am merely fulfilling my duty as the Blue Star Commander.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile, ¡°Let me introduce them to you one by one.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    ¡°This is Demigod Dantai Lie,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master,¡± Dantai Lie¡¯s virtual image, a short-haired middle-aged man, bowed slightly.


    ¡°Demigod Dantai, there¡¯s no need for such formality. You have long guarded the entrance to the Wanhan Star Realm, which I am well aware of,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°I am friends with Dantai Feng¡­ and I remember the favor from those earlier days.¡±


    Back then, Dantai Lie had given Li Yuan a Storage Treasure worth over a thousand Seven Stars Points.


    To the current Li Yuan, it was nothing much.


    But back then, it was a significant gift.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m sure under the Grand Hall Master¡¯s leadership, our Blue Star will only become more prosperous,¡± Dantai Lie said, beaming with smiles. The small kindness he had shown back then, remembered by Li Yuan, brought him great happiness.


    ¡°This is Demigod Chi Song,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine gestured towards the elder in lavish attire.


    ¡°Grand Hall Master,¡± Chi Song the Demigod bowed slightly.


    Li Yuan nodded.


    Of the seven Demigods on Blue Star, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Dantai Lie the Demigod, and Chi Song the Demigod were all part of the Starfire Martial Hall.


    Hence, they all addressed Li Yuan as ¡®Grand Hall Master.¡¯


    ¡°This is Demigod Ha Lin, the Starry Sky Martial Hall Master of Blue Star,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine pointed toward the bald man in Black Armor.


    ¡°Commander,¡± Ha Lin the Demigod said with a laugh.


    ¡°Demigod Ha Lin controls the Starry Sky Martial Hall and manages the virtual network; I will need your support in the future,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Commander is the Leader of Blue Star, and I am under the Leader¡¯s command,¡± Ha Lin the Demigod said with a laugh. ¡°Just give the order, and I will obey.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred slightly; the stance of Demigod Ha Lin was rather unusual.


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°This is the Starry Sky Martial Hall Master of Blue Star, Demigod Soylo,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine pointed to the red-haired Caucasian man, ¡°One of the strongest Demigods on our Blue Star, his power is not inferior to mine.¡±


    ¡°Demigod Soylo, in dealing with the affairs of Blue Star, I will need your assistance,¡± Li Yuan said.


    Li Yuan knew well in his heart, the truly important figures on Blue Star were none other than Demigod Soylo and Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    These two had the potential to threaten him.


    The other Demigods? They were merely at the Initial Rank of Semi-Divine, not worth his concern.


    Especially Demigod Soylo, who before him, had been the ¡®Acting Blue Star Leader.¡¯ Could there be any resentment in his heart?


    ¡°The Commander is too polite, I shall do my duty,¡± Soylo the Demigod said with considerable courtesy.


    ¡°Commander, I am Demigod Selvie,¡± the elegant woman in a Black Garment bowed.


    Li Yuan nodded with a smile, Demigod Selvie was the only female Demigod of Blue Star, and her reputation was indeed significant.


    ¡°If I remember correctly, there should be another Demigod,¡± Li Yuan glanced around, ¡°Isn¡¯t Demigod Kuba here yet?¡±


    The people present turned their gaze towards Demigod Soylo.


    ¡°Commander,¡± Soylo the Demigod respectfully said, ¡°Demigod Kuba has recently consolidated a Law and has just advanced to the Middle Rank of Semi-Divine, and thus has been in Concealed Cultivation¡­ He is currently at a critical juncture, which is why he could not attend the Demigod Council. I hope the Commander will forgive this.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Middle Rank of Semi-Divine? That¡¯s good news,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, seemingly convinced.


    ¡°In Concealed Cultivation?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t he break through last year? He was still at the meeting last month. Isn¡¯t it too coincidental that on the very day the Commander attends his first meeting, he is absent?¡± the bald man Ha Lin the Demigod said with a smirk, ¡°Soylo, could it be that Kuba is displeased with the Commander?¡±

 Chapter 692: 372 Commander Li Yuan_2

    Chapter 692: Chapter 372 Commander Li Yuan_2


    ¡°It really is coincidental, Kuba has recently made some breakthroughs in his cultivation,¡± Soylo said with a smile. ¡°After all, he has just condensed the Law, and it¡¯s a time of great progress. I hope the Commander can understand.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not like we need him to leave seclusion,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°A virtual network meeting only requires a fraction of one¡¯s attention. Is he really unable to spare that much time?¡±


    Everyone present was no fool; they naturally heard the underlying implications in the words of Harlin Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Enough.¡±


    ¡°The breakthrough in Kuba Semi-Divine¡¯s strength is good for us at Blue Star and for the entire civilization,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°I actually have no urgent matters today. It¡¯s fine if Kuba Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t make it. There will always be another chance to meet.¡±


    ¡°Just that, I¡¯m new here.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Although I¡¯ve read many documents, documents are just documents, after all. I¡¯d rather the esteemed seniors here introduce the situation to me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°Harlin, why don¡¯t you start with the Starry Sky Martial Hall?¡±


    ¡°Sure,¡± Harlin Semi-Divine nodded. ¡°Commander, Starry Sky Martial Hall mainly oversees this part of the virtual network. All of Blue Star¡¯s¡­¡±


    Time passed.


    With successive introductions from Harlin Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and Selvie Semi-Divine, with Li Yuan occasionally asking questions, he gained clearer cognizance of the entire operation of Blue Star.


    ¡­


    More than an hour later, the demi-god assembly concluded, and the other Semi-Divines left one after another.


    In the meeting room, only Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine remained.


    ¡°Starfire Martial Hall and Black Stone Martial Hall each control half of the regions in the reality of Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan remarked. ¡°Starry Sky Martial Hall, however, controls ninety percent of the virtual network¡¯s permissions.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a lot of power.¡±


    ¡°No wonder inside Xia Country, only Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall exist,¡± Li Yuan remarked with a sigh. ¡°While in places like Europa Continent, there are only Black Stone Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a design of competition,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°Overall, Blue Star has six thousand Flying Heaven Warriors, of which forty percent are in Starfire Martial Hall, forty percent in Black Stone Martial Hall¡­ and only about twenty percent in Starry Sky Martial Hall. Starry Sky Martial Hall has the weakest martial force, but it controls the economic operations of countries, setting various economic policies.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded silently.


    It seemed that while Starry Sky Martial Hall controlled the virtual network, it still depended on reality and was subjected to fragmented control by various countries¡­ ultimately forming a balanced situation of mutual checks.


    No matter the entity, seceding from the entire civilization would be a difficult endeavor.


    ¡°Is there a conflict between Harlin Semi-Divine and Soylo Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Not so much a conflict,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just that Soylo often has disputes with Harlin over the interests of Black Stone Martial Hall and his mother country. Kuba, being led by Soylo, naturally would side with him¡­ Kuba Semi-Divine¡¯s absence today might also be a form of protest.¡±


    ¡°Protest?¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°Is it his discontent or Soylo¡¯s?¡±


    Li Yuan had a general understanding of Blue Star¡¯s seven Semi-Divines.


    Black Stone Martial Hall and Starfire Martial Hall each had three, and the competition was fierce¡­ As the only Semi-Divine from Starry Sky Martial Hall, Harlin Semi-Divine held a naturally more detached status.


    ¡°Hard to say,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine remarked thoughtfully.


    ¡°But you need not worry about it,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a sigh. ¡°Actually, this underlying conflict has existed for a long time¡­ Logically speaking, he was supposed to become the Blue Star Leader decades ago, based on his strength not being inferior to mine.¡±


    ¡°But at that time, Alliance Hierarch strongly pushed Fang Hai,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°Back then, few people were convinced by Fang Hai, and some even openly embarrassed him.¡±


    ¡°Unconvinced?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Back then, Fang Hai¡¯s strength was even slightly lacking compared to a Semi-Divine,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine explained. ¡°Unlike you, who has made great achievements and contributions¡­ How could they be convinced by Fang Hai in their hearts like they are with you?¡±


    Li Yuan slightly nodded.


    Being the Blue Star Leader was mainly about spiritual tempering; in the short term, it wouldn¡¯t significantly enhance one¡¯s strength.


    But for one¡¯s disciples, relatives, and even one¡¯s home country¡­ it could be tremendously beneficial, involving many interests.


    A word from the Commander, a single document, could bring immense benefits to a country, deciding the livelihood of millions.


    ¡°Thus, they believe that the Hierarch is suppressing them,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°With your arrival forcing Soylo to step down again¡­ His seat barely warmed up, what do you think they feel?¡±


    Li Yuan understood.


    It would likely only deepen their existing impressions.


    ¡°Would the Alliance Hierarch suppress them?¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s just that the Hierarch favors Xia Country more, with more resources available within the civilization, and they are all on Blue Star¡­ it¡¯s merely an illusion they¡¯ve created.¡±


    ¡°But many precious cultivation resources were obtained by the Hierarch himself, and it¡¯s entirely up to him to decide who to give them to,¡± Li Yuan remarked.


    Everyone has their biases.


    Who could be without them?


    Like Li Yuan, who used the treasure resources he obtained for his uncle and aunt, and also to repay some elders who had been kind to him in the past¡ªLi Yuan felt it was perfectly justified.


    ¡°Furthermore.¡±


    ¡°Different perspectives.¡±


    ¡°The Hierarch, back then, was looking from the height of the entire Seven Star Civilization, training the principal as his successor,¡± Li Yuan continued. ¡°To the Hierarch, Blue Star is just part of the civilization, and being the Blue Star Leader is merely a training position. Reality has proven the Hierarch right, as now the principal has smoothly taken up the role of Vice Alliance Hierarch, gradually taking control of the entire alliance.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Li Yuan saw it clearly. Suppress Soylo Semi-Divine?

 Chapter 693: 372 Commander Li Yuan_3

    Chapter 693: Chapter 372 Commander Li Yuan_3


    No! I just didn¡¯t give them special treatment, that¡¯s all.


    ¡°Li Yuan, how do you plan to deal with Kuba Semi-Divine?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°Bai Shan Senior, don¡¯t worry,¡± said Li Yuan. ¡°Not to mention that Soylo Semi-Divine was very polite to me today, even if Soylo openly contradicts me in the future¡­ as long as his points make sense, I will acknowledge them.¡±


    ¡°What about Kuba Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°He has just become a Semi-Divine Middle Rank, he can¡¯t affect me,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. ¡°As long as he still acknowledges himself as a member of the Seven Stars Civilization and continues to contribute to it¡­ I can tolerate some complaints and eccentricities. I certainly won¡¯t suppress him.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I am willing to serve as the Blue Star Leader first to hone myself, and second to make some contributions to civilization, not to subjugate the strong ones on Blue Star.¡±


    ¡°What I pursue is beneficial for the entire civilization,¡± Li Yuan said. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A thought struck Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    He originally worried that Li Yuan was young; youth could bring vigor and impulsiveness¡­ If Li Yuan directly went to reprimand Kuba Semi-Divine, it would be very irrational.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s mindset was much stronger than he had anticipated.


    ¡°Capable of accommodating others,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine thought to himself. ¡°This mindset is better than Fang Hai¡¯s back in the days.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine still remembered that Fang Hai was much more impulsive than Li Yuan back then, and acted more recklessly.


    Fortunately.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s strength and prestige were enough to restrain Fang Hai, preventing chaos¡­ Later, Fang Hai gradually matured.


    ¡°Okay, it is good as long as you have made a decision,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°What are your thoughts on the inauguration ceremony in half a month?¡±


    ¡°Keep it simple,¡± Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to create too much commotion¡­ it¡¯s best if everything proceeds as usual.¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t care about these formalities.


    Ordinary people need grandeur as a facade, to deter others, to prevent others from seeing their weaknesses and thus command respect.


    But for cultivators, it¡¯s about their own strong abilities.


    From the moment Li Yuan killed an Alien Race Semi-Divine, it was destined that he would possess enough deterrence.


    What was missing was just an opportunity to assert his authority internally, to make everyone understand his character.


    ¡°Okay,¡± said Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    ¡­


    Blue Star virtual network, Black Stone space.


    ¡°Brother, do you think Li Yuan will target us?¡± Selvie Semi-Divine frowned. ¡°Just like Fang Hai did back then?¡±


    ¡°It depends.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve already yielded, and Kuba didn¡¯t really confront him,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine shook his head. ¡°I have no intention of competing with him¡­ we are also members of the Seven Stars Civilization, he shouldn¡¯t take things too far.¡±


    ¡°Hopefully, that¡¯s the case,¡± Selvie sighed.


    ¡­


    Three days after the Semi-Divine meeting.


    Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, after receiving the news, both returned to Kunlun Martial University¡­ Li Muhua even brought his new wife.


    ¡°Brother!!¡± Li Qianqian, wearing a professional suit, was extremely excited and jumped to hug Li Yuan.


    ¡°You¡¯re a company CEO now, yet you¡¯re still not composed,¡± Li Yuan laughed.


    Li Qianqian had already graduated from Culture University and was now running a company by herself in the Capital City.


    Not many people knew her background.


    ¡°I¡¯m home,¡± Li Qianqian pouted. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s been years since I¡¯ve seen you, and the first thing you do when we meet is to lecture me.¡±


    ¡°Haha, okay, you should be more relaxed at home,¡± Li Yuan laughed as he patted his sister¡¯s head.


    This scene amazed the nearby Liao Fei, who was well aware that the first time she met this sister-in-law, she seemed a strong independent woman¡­ nowhere like today.


    Including her own husband, who was a respected young Origin Martial Artist outside, stable and composed, but his image completely changed at home¡­ all because of the seemingly ordinary young man.


    Li Yuan!!


    Also standing at the peak of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Sister-in-law,¡± Li Yuan smiled at the beautiful woman in front of him. ¡°I couldn¡¯t make it to your wedding with Muhua, I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve heard from uncle and aunt that it¡¯s Muhua¡¯s fortune to have found you.¡±


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Liao Fei was quite nervous.


    ¡°I came back in a hurry, didn¡¯t have time to prepare an extra gift, hope you don¡¯t mind,¡± Li Yuan flipped his hand, presenting the gift he prepared.


    A Fourth Rank Soul Treasure.


    ¡°This?¡± Liao Fei, also a Martial Artist, although unable to discern the value of the treasure, could still feel its extraordinariness.


    It was certainly a rare treasure.


    ¡°Big brother gave it to you, so just accept it,¡± Li Muhua whispered, knowing his older brother¡¯s personality.


    The family reunited, full of joyful harmony.


    ¡­


    ¡°Qianqian, this robot, I¡¯ll have it secretly protect you,¡± Li Yuan instructed. ¡°I don¡¯t mind about you running a company, and I don¡¯t care that you¡¯re not interested in Martial Path¡­ but the path of Life Evolution that I¡¯ve arranged for you, I hope you commit to it a bit more. As long as you follow the steps, there¡¯s hope for you to achieve a Flying Heaven Warrior.¡±


    There are many advantages of robot protection.


    The most crucial aspect was that they could provide around-the-clock personal protection¡­ incomparable to any other form of life.


    ¡°Become a Flying Heaven Warrior?¡± Li Qianqian held her breath.


    She was no longer the naive girl from the past, having navigated the business world for several years, she naturally understood the significance of this.


    ¡°Alright, big brother.¡± Li Qianqian nodded.


    ¡­


    ¡°Go to Feixing special training?¡± Li Muhua was somewhat surprised when he heard Li Yuan¡¯s plan.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I have already arranged it for you.¡± Li Yuan looked at Li Muhua, ¡°Muhua, your Martial Path talent is good¡­ if you follow the conventional path, with my help, becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior won¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    ¡°But if you want to become stronger, then you must undergo a transformation yourself.¡±


    ¡°The path, I have arranged it for you.¡±


    ¡°Whether you are willing to walk it, and how far you can go, depends on yourself.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°This special training is extremely dangerous, the mortality rate is over 50%, decide for yourself whether you are willing to go.¡±


    ¡°A mortality rate of 50%?¡± Li Muhua was taken aback, and he struggled internally.


    One path followed a fixed route, almost certainly culminating in becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    The other path, however, was filled with bloodshed.


    After a long contemplation.


    ¡°Brother, I am willing to undergo the special training.¡± A determined look flashed in Li Muhua¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Li Yuan asked indifferently.


    ¡°Yes, I am sure.¡± Li Muhua nodded emphatically, spoke solemnly, ¡°Brother, I know you would provide the best conditions for cultivation¡­ but the core of Martial Path cultivation still depends on oneself, if I don¡¯t have the courage to venture forth, I won¡¯t make significant achievements.¡±


    ¡°Not afraid of death?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Brother, didn¡¯t you tell me that many offspring of powerful figures in the East have died? Everyone fears death, but to achieve great accomplishments on this path, one must not fear it.¡± Li Muhua said.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°The path, you chose it yourself.¡± Li Yuan said indifferently, ¡°As your elder brother, I can only offer you one piece of advice, to have no regrets, even I am just struggling on this long Martial Path.¡±


    Li Muhua silently pondered over these words.


    ¡­


    ¡°San Ye Semi Divine, please take care of my brother¡¯s matters.¡± Li Yuan messaged, ¡°During the special training, just protect him covertly¡­ no need to let him know beforehand.¡±


    Ultimately, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t be as ruthless as Alliance Hierarch Dongfang.


    Feixing special training was aimed at many young talents, these talents were not comparable to the ¡®geniuses of the Martial Divine Hall¡¯, but they too had potential to become Flying Heaven Warriors¡­ the Semi-Divines, willing to pay some price, could also send people in.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Ling, is he venturing in a Second Level Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan also learned about Xu Ling¡¯s current situation from ¡®Wan Qinghe¡¯.


    Li Yuan was quite concerned about Xu Ling.


    Wan Qinghe, now having become the City Hall Master of Jiang City¡¯s Starfire Martial Hall with Top Level Origin Martial Artist strength¡­ He knew the significance of Xu Ling to Li Yuan and had always been helping Xu Ling to grow in secret.


    ¡­


    January 28, 2053, Li Yuan¡¯s inauguration ceremony was officially held in the virtual network.


    Li Yuan also officially became the Blue Star Leader.


    ¡­


    After taking over as the Commander, not much changed in Li Yuan¡¯s life.


    Most of the time, he stayed concealed at Kunlun Martial University, focusing on refining his Spear Technique.


    Occasionally, he would handle some tasks as the Grand Hall Master, Blue Star Leader.


    In February, Xu Ling returned from the Star Realm, and was promptly arranged by Li Yuan to also go for Feixing special training.


    ¡°With my family worry-free.¡±


    ¡°I can fully immerse myself in cultivation.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was utterly calm, he had spent over 100 thousand Seven Stars Points for his family and Xu Ling.

 Chapter 694: 373 The Death of Dongfang Ji

    Chapter 694: Chapter 373 The Death of Dongfang Ji


    ¡°Li Yuan! Urgent matter, concerning the survival of our entire civilization, immediately enter the virtual network ¡®Starfire Realm¡¯.¡± The message from Yun Lao was brief, yet it alarmed Li Yuan greatly.


    Concerned about the survival of civilization?


    ¡°Yun Lao, what is the matter?¡± Li Yuan immediately responded.


    Yun Lao was the Grand Steward of the entire Seven Star Civilization and a steadfast executor of the orders from Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji.


    It could be said that while it seemed like Fang Hai and Lant Semi-Divine were Vice Alliance Hierarchs, Yun Lao was the behind-the-scenes overseer.


    Domains such as the Star Technique World and the Divine Artifact Chamber were directly controlled by Yun Lao.


    ...


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, Yun Lao was not a real lifeform, but rather an auxiliary intelligent being.


    ¡°Enter Starfire Realm, you will naturally understand.¡± Yun Lao communicated, ¡°Come quickly.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan responded, but a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.


    What could make Yun Lao lose his composure like this?


    At that thought.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, activate alert mode,¡± Li Yuan commanded. ¡°Also, ignore any other communications for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡± The warship¡¯s intelligence replied, and the gigantic Fourth Rank Battleship immediately engaged its alert mode. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In this mode, energy consumption significantly increased, but so did the protection ability.


    ¡°Connect to the virtual network.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes.


    Hum~


    In a flash of thought, Li Yuan silently connected to the Blue Star virtual network and subsequently entered the Starfire Realm.


    ¡­


    Starfire Realm was the highest holy land within the virtual network for the Starfire Martial Hall, normally accessible only to Semi-Divine.


    Swoosh!


    Dressed in a purple garment. Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere in the vast expanse of the void, where only a floating, majestic palace in fiery red stood.


    Within the fiery red light, flecks of golden light were mixed, adding an even more sacred aura to the palace.


    This was Li Yuan¡¯s third visit to the Starfire Realm, and his first since becoming the Blue Star Leader.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    In the void outside the palace, several figures appeared out of thin air, all familiar faces to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Soylo Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, what brings you here?¡± Li Yuan looked at the two arrivals.


    ¡°Commander,¡± the two Semi-Divine first respectfully saluted.


    Then San Ye Semi-Divine said, ¡°Commander, I was summoned by Vice Alliance Hierarch Fang Hai to attend a meeting swiftly.¡±


    ¡°And you, Soylo Semi-Divine?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    This was the Starfire Realm, which under normal circumstances, should not be accessible to non-Starfire Martial Hall Semi-Divine.


    ¡°I received a message from Senior Lant,¡± Soylo Semi-Divine explained, ¡°It seems I was granted temporary authorization to enter.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s shock intensified.


    What exactly was the matter at hand?


    At that moment.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! More figures appeared, most of them dressed in golden garments.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, enter the Main Hall first,¡± Li Yuan said, flying with Soylo Semi-Divine and San Ye Semi-Divine into the Main Hall.


    Upon their arrival through the corridor.


    In the outer palace¡¯s Main Hall, there were already over forty figures, the vast majority clad in golden garments, with only a very few in purple.


    Their arrival immediately caught the attention of the numerous Semi-Divine.


    ¡°That is Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He is a First Rank Star Master?¡±


    ¡°Being a First Rank Star Master is normal if you had his strength and talent. You could also be a Planet Leader, a First Rank Star Master,¡± many Semi-Divine were discussing among themselves.


    Many Semi-Divine were seeing Li Yuan for the first time, observing the first talent of the Seven Star Civilization.


    And upon a brief observation, these Semi-Divine could sense the difference¡­ Spiritual Will.


    In the virtual network, everyone¡¯s body was the same, only the Spiritual Will differed, something the network could not simulate.


    ¡°Such a fierce Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°His will must be among the strongest in the Semi-Divine, no wonder his Soul Secret Technique is so terrifying,¡± many Semi-Divine marveled.


    These Semi-Divine were observing Li Yuan, and Li Yuan was also observing them.


    ¡°According to the rules, during the Star Master conference in the virtual network, Third Class Star Masters wear black garments, Second Class Star Masters wear golden garments, and First Rank Star Masters wear purple,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Purple is the most revered, followed by gold.


    And today, those who gathered in the Starfire Realm were at least in golden garments, indicating that all were Semi-Divine.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, aside from Li Yuan, other Flying Heaven Star Masters were only Third Class Star Masters.


    As time passed.


    Many Semi-Divine greeted Li Yuan proactively, and more continued to arrive, like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, Flame CIty Semi-Divine, one after another.


    ¡°Lant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai Semi-Divine have arrived.¡±


    ¡°The two Vice Alliance Hierarchs are here,¡± everyone looked towards the last two figures to appear.


    They too were dressed in purple garments, only their garments were more luxurious and intricate.


    Lant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai Semi-Divine directly walked up to the high platform of the hall, facing the crowd.


    The two exchanged glances.


    Then, Lant Semi-Divine stepped forward and directly said, ¡°Today, as the first Vice Alliance Hierarch and one of the founders of the Alliance, I invoke the ¡®Seven Stars Civilization Star Pact¡¯ and hereby formally propose that Fang Hai Semi-Divine be appointed as the ¡®Seven Stars Alliance Hierarch¡¯.¡± Lant Semi-Divine, with his golden hair like a lion, swept his gaze over everyone, ¡°I herewith launch the vote, those who disagree, raise your hands.¡±


    Silence fell.


    Like a thunderclap on a clear day.


    Including Li Yuan, everyone was stunned by Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s words, appoint the Seven Stars Alliance Hierarch?


    It was almost a consensus among all Semi-Divine that Fang Hai would succeed as the Hierarch.


    But!!


    This matter was not supposed to be voted on directly by the Star Masters, but should have been ordered by the incumbent Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Ji, right?


    Today¡¯s emergency meeting, Dongfang Ji never showed up from beginning to end, instead, Lant Semi-Divine made the announcement.


    Lant Semi-Divine held an extremely high position and had even more seniority, but he couldn¡¯t compare to Dongfang Ji.


    Dongfang Ji, that¡¯s a revered prestige forged with absolute strength.


    The scene at hand was too bizarre.


    It made one involuntarily think of grim possibilities.


    Even Li Yuan, upon hearing this proposal and recalling Cloud Elder¡¯s words ¡®pertaining to the survival of civilization¡¯, couldn¡¯t help but feel a jolt in his heart.


    Could it be?


    Had the Alliance Hierarch truly fallen?


    ¡­


    Time ticked away in the conference room by the second.


    ¡°Alright, final countdown, ten seconds. If any Vice Alliance Hierarchs object, please raise your hand, 10, 9, 8¡­¡± Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s gaze was piercing, his voice resounded like a bell throughout the conference room.


    Still, there was silence.


    No one raised their hands.


    ¡°3, 2, 1.¡± Lant Semi-Divine said gravely, ¡°Alright, I declare passed unanimously. Fang Hai Semi-Divine is now the second ¡®Seven Star Alliance Hierarch.''¡±


    Just like that, it was decided?


    The demi-gods present inevitably felt a sense of absurdity; this wasn¡¯t because they doubted Fang Hai¡¯s strength.


    It¡¯s just that the entire process seemed too hasty.


    ¡°Greetings, Alliance Hierarch.¡± Lant Semi-Divine stepped back, slightly bowed in salute.


    ¡°Greetings, Alliance Hierarch.¡± Below, the Purple Garment Bai Shan Semi-Divine and Li Yuan, although a beat slower, took the initiative to salute.


    Seeing this, many demi-gods in the main hall finally proceeded to salute, and with that, Fang Hai¡¯s ¡®Alliance Hierarch status¡¯ was fully acknowledged.


    On the platform, Fang Hai took a deep breath.


    He understood that from this moment on, he was at the top, and he must bear the weight of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Fellow Star Masters,¡± Fang Hai said in a deep voice, ¡°I know there are many doubts in your minds, but I can tell you, the teacher is fine, he is still alive, just at a critical moment of seclusion, temporarily unable to appear.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after a discussion among the highest tiers, I am temporarily taking over as the Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    The hall quieted down.


    Dongfang Ji is alright? Various thoughts arose in the minds of many demi-gods. Some believed him, while others were skeptical.


    Today¡¯s events were just too sudden.


    ¡°I have just taken the position and have three orders; the first order is to raise the alert level of all major planets to the highest, to strictly monitor and prevent a Lantie Star crisis from reoccurring,¡± Fang Hai said.


    The demi-gods listened.


    ¡°The second order, to initiate the Feixing Migration Plan.¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°Feixing is now overpopulated. We will relocate some of the cities to other planets to reduce the burden on Feixing.¡±


    Feixing Migration?


    Feixing is overpopulated? Even those demi-gods who trusted Fang Hai had troubling thoughts.


    Must we migrate now?


    Is it really because of Feixing¡¯s overpopulation, or is it out of concern that a Semi-Divine level war might break out on Feixing, causing enormous damage to the entire Seven Star Civilization? After all, Feixing is the core industrial zone of the Seven Star Civilization; countless resources come from Feixing.


    ¡°The third order, I appoint the Blue Star Leader Li Yuan as the ¡®Seven Star Civilization Vice Alliance Hierarch¡¯.¡± Fang Hai stated directly and looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Commander Li Yuan has performed great deeds for the civilization, and his strength is also sufficient.¡±


    Boom!


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch? Li Yuan?¡± Many demi-gods present couldn¡¯t help but turn their gaze toward Li Yuan.


    Demi-gods like Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Soylo Semi-Divine, and San Ye Semi-Divine, showed a flicker of surprise in their eyes.


    Clearly, they were unaware of this.


    This was a decision most demi-gods couldn¡¯t have foreseen.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch! Higher than a First Class Star Master.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan is only in the Flying Heaven Realm.¡± Suddenly, there was quite the stir of comments. In the eyes of these demi-gods, Li Yuan, no matter how talented, was not yet suited to be the Vice Alliance Hierarch.


    After all, demi-gods like Xin Yu and Blood Cloth were at the Semi-Divine Peak¡­ logically, it would be one of these two Semi-Divine Peak experts ascending to the position.


    Even Li Yuan himself felt surprised and perplexed.


    He was still just in the Flying Heaven Realm, his strength indeed was not yet at the Semi-Divine Peak, holding the position of the planet leader was already the limit.


    Vice Alliance Hierarch? It seemed rather rushed.


    ¡°I agree,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said.


    The murmurs among the crowd quieted down substantially.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s excellent,¡± Mu Ji Semi-Divine smiled, ¡°Commander Li Yuan currently possesses such strength; once he becomes a demi-god, he might even reach Semi-Divine Limit power.¡±


    ¡°Commander Li Yuan qualifies to be the Vice Alliance Hierarch; it¡¯s never stipulated that it must be a demi-god to hold the position. Sufficient strength and contributions are all that are needed,¡± Flame City Semi-Divine also spoke up.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s acceptable,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile.


    They were all demi-gods of intermediate rank, and their words carried significant weight.


    Flame City Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were moreover First Class Star Masters.


    Thereby, even though many demi-gods still harbored doubts about Li Yuan¡¯s promotion to Vice Alliance Hierarch, at least no one openly opposed it.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for today; all Second Class Star Masters, please leave,¡± Fang Hai said slowly, ¡°First Class Star Masters, stay behind, there¡¯s another meeting.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Dozens of demi-gods left Starfire Realm swiftly, with their minds full of doubts and suspicions.


    Eventually, only nine figures remained in the grand hall.


    Li Yuan scanned around, aside from himself and the four demi-gods at the Semi-Divine Peak, there were only four other demi-gods of intermediate rank: Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Flame City Semi-Divine, Snow Dragon Semi-Divine, and Heavenly Fire Semi-Divine.


    To attain the status of ¡®First Class Star Master¡¯ at the Semi-Divine middle rank, each had their unique aspects.


    These nine individuals truly represented the top echelon of the entire civilization.


    ¡°Fellow members of the civilization¡¯s core layer,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s face showed a trace of sorrow, speaking in a low voice, ¡°Therefore, I will not withhold certain matters from you.¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s urgency indeed stems from a reason; our Seven Star Civilization is at its most dangerous moment.¡±


    ¡°Our teacher has fallen in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain!¡±


    ¡°From today onwards, our Seven Star Civilization no longer has an invincible demi-god; we must rely on ourselves.¡± Fang Hai spoke in a low voice, his eyes faintly reddened.


    Silence filled the area.


    Even though some harbored guesses, the hearts of most of those present still shuddered.


    They all understood¡ªthe sky of the Seven Star Civilization had collapsed!

 Chapter 695: 374: Two Major Calamities

    Chapter 695: Chapter 374: Two Major Calamities


    ¡°Is the Alliance Leader truly dead?¡±


    Li Yuan was shaken to the core. Even though he had heard it straight from Fang Hai¡¯s mouth, he still found it hard to believe.


    That man who led the rise of a civilization and stood undefeated for over a century, enigmatic even to the likes of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun, could he really have fallen so suddenly, without a sound?


    Even with a power almost at the Semi-Divine Peak, Li Yuan still felt he was far inferior to Dongfang Ji and had to strive harder.


    Although the path of cultivation is unpredictable, in the ¡°Inheritance Crystal Stone¡± given by Qiu Bingzun, it often described how some supreme beings fell silently into terrifying dangerous lands.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s heart still struggled to accept it.


    ...


    ¡°Fang Hai,¡± the Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes were filled with urgency, ¡°how could Dongfang have been in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?¡±


    The urgency in the Bai Shan Semi-Divine was palpable; he was past caring about formal titles. Among those present, if one were to talk about emotional ties with Dongfang Ji, aside from Fang Hai, it would be him.


    The faces of the others were also filled with shocked urgency, and they couldn¡¯t help but turn to Fang Hai.


    Panic seized them!


    Among these powerful individuals present, none were without a sense of alarm.


    ¡°Many secrets are not known by Second Class Star Masters, hence I did not announce them openly,¡± Fang Hai said gravely. ¡°But everyone present here is at the core of the Seven Star Civilization, and you should all be somewhat familiar with the Nine Mountains World in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°In fact, at the end of the 51st year, our teacher had already gone to the Nine Mountains World,¡± said Fang Hai.


    The crowd felt a slight shock.


    Apart from Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and the Lant Semi-Divine, no one else present knew of this news.


    ¡°In other words, you didn¡¯t actually witness the fall of Dongfang?¡± the Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked urgently, as if grasping at a lifeline.


    ¡°Indeed, I did not.¡±


    ¡°Our teacher went to the core area of the Nine Mountains World, a place beyond our strength to tread,¡± said Fang Hai with bitterness. ¡°According to what the teacher said before, even if there were some dangers, there should still have been a great hope of survival. But I never imagined¡­¡± S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The core area of the Nine Mountains World? Both the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine were inexplicably shocked.


    In fact,


    Most of the demigods present had ventured into the Nine Mountains World and had obtained various benefits¡­ but none had the strength to venture deep into the core area.


    ¡°Alliance Leader,¡± the Snow Dragon Demigod, dressed in white, inquired, ¡°Was it with the Life Crystal that you confirmed Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s death?¡±


    The Life Crystal, the Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Alliance had almost each refined one.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t the Life Crystal.¡±


    ¡°The place where our teacher went is beyond where the Life Crystal can confirm life or death,¡± Fang Hai shook his head. ¡°It was the Soul Lamp, a contingency left by our teacher before he left, which is a higher level tool for confirming life and death¡­ Just today, our teacher¡¯s Soul Lamp went out.¡±


    A Soul Lamp? Others might not understand well,


    But Li Yuan knew its mystery because he too had refined a Soul Lamp and knew its value.


    As long as one is within this Dimensional Domain, the Soul Lamp can confirm life and death.


    ¡°The Soul Lamp is only a part of it.¡±


    Fang Hai continued gravely, ¡°Additionally, our teacher had built many special bases on Feixing, one of which held many Alien Race Semi-Divines captive; among them, two had already been under the Soul Control of our teacher.¡±


    ¡°Many Alien Race Semi-Divines?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of such a base.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a base like that on Feixing?¡± The First Rank Star Masters were all somewhat astonished, unable to resist asking questions.


    Even Li Yuan was surprised, captive demigods? Where were they captured from?


    ¡°That is not the point.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s strength far surpasses ours; the palace he built for the whole civilization is unimaginable by us, and there is no point in making too many people aware of many matters,¡± said the Lant Semi-Divine coldly. ¡°Let¡¯s continue listening to the Alliance Leader.¡±


    Everyone quieted down and continued to watch Li Yuan.


    ¡°Today, when the Soul Lamp went out, those two Semi-Divines who had been controlled by our teacher¡¯s Soul also regained their freedom,¡± said Fang Hai darkly. ¡°Of course, their souls had suffered heavy damage, so they were easily recaptured by us.¡±


    ¡°But numerous signs have already suggested that our teacher, indeed, has fallen,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Silence fell.


    If it were only the so-called ¡®Soul Lamp¡¯ that went out, there could be a mistake, but if the Soul Servants who were under Soul Control regained normalcy?


    Then it¡¯s unlikely to be a mistake.


    The Semi-Divines present had almost no experience with Soul Control techniques, but were more or less familiar with this legendary soul secret technique.


    Soul Servants, once their master dies, the Soul Imprint will also fade and they will regain their freedom¡­ The process of regaining freedom is painful, and the servant¡¯s soul will suffer heavy damage, even possibly ending in a perpetual slumber, but they are mostly likely to survive.


    A soul-related connection is very special.


    ¡°Everyone.¡±


    ¡°The teacher¡¯s death is something none of us wants to see, but it is a fact, and no matter how reluctant we are to believe it, we must accept reality,¡± Fang Hai, with reddened eyes and a solemn voice, said, ¡°If we were just an ordinary civilization, it would not be a big deal, because our teacher left many methods behind, and our Seven Star Civilization also has so many demigods, we won¡¯t be easily bullied¡­ but we are situated next to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°It has prompted our Seven Star Civilization to rise quickly.¡±


    ¡°But it is also the origin of all misfortunes.¡±


    The expressions of everyone present were stern.


    The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, which caused a divine war tens of thousands of years ago, had countless strong beings fall¡­ Even if many civilizations did not know that the Seven Star Civilization had a shortcut to enter the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains Star Realm.


    But just from the rapid rise of the Seven Star Civilization, one could infer that there were secrets within the Seven Star Civilization.


    Only with great strength can one keep a treasure.


    ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization gets wind of our teachers passing, it might go completely mad, and reenact the struggle of the Feixing war, or even a more intense battle,¡± said Fang Hai gravely. ¡°By then, it might be a hundred, two hundred, or even more demigods invading.¡±

 Chapter 696: 374: Two Major Calamities_2

    Chapter 696: Chapter 374: Two Major Calamities_2


    All the people¡¯s hearts shuddered.


    The overall strength of the Myriad Demons Civilization was far greater than that of the Seven Star Civilization, with nearly a hundred Semi-Divine Peak Experts alone.


    In the past,


    Dongfang Ji had been too powerful, having killed a large number of semi-divines, his deterrence was like that of a divine entity, preventing any large-scale invasions by the Myriad Demons Civilization, leading to nearly a century of peace.


    But now, Dongfang Ji was no longer present.


    Would the Myriad Demons Civilization give up this opportunity?


    ...


    ¡°No,¡± said Xin Yu, the only female Semi-Divine present, her voice chilled, ¡°Alliance Leader Fang, Elder Lant¡­ If Dongfang Alliance Leader has indeed fallen, shouldn¡¯t we be guarding this secret, trying to buy time?¡±


    ¡°With the talents of Alliance Leader Fang and Vice Alliance Leader Li Yuan, if we could conceal this for another three to five years, the situation will likely change drastically,¡± said Xin Yu with a frown. ¡°Especially Vice Alliance Leader Li Yuan, whose strength is already nearing Semi-Divine Peak¡­ once he breaks through to become a Semi-Divine, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to reach the Semi-Divine Limit.¡±


    Xin Yu expressed the doubts in her heart.


    ¡°Exactly! We should pretend like nothing has happened.¡±


    ¡°We should keep hiding it.¡±


    ¡°Replacing the leader, migrating Feixing¡­ The scale is too large; even if there are no traitors among the Semi-Divines, there are always spies from the Alien Race, they will surely guess. Once the Myriad Demons Civilization receives the news, they will definitely probe,¡± the crowd could not help but speak.


    Even with the doubts in his heart, from a larger perspective, Li Yuan truly should continue to conceal it.


    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen,¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not as simple as you think,¡± said Lant Semi-Divine in a low voice. ¡°Whether it is appointing Fang Hai as the Alliance Leader or Li Yuan as the Vice Alliance Leader¡­ these were the commands of Dongfang Alliance Leader before he left, and they must be carried out¡­ The specific reasons will be made known when necessary.¡±


    ¡°For the sake of our civilization, some matters must remain secret,¡± declared Lant Semi-Divine earnestly. ¡°Only I and the Alliance Leader know them.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡°Since Lant Semi-Divine says so, there must be a reason.¡±


    ¡°We shall comply,¡± Xin Yu, Flame City Semi-Divine, Skyfire Semi-Divine, and the others nodded.


    They, too, understood the gravity.


    In the history of the Seven Star Civilization, there had been Semi-Divine traitors¡­ so only the most trusted could control the core secrets.


    Fang Hai felt a sigh of relief internally, his greatest fear had been these Semi-Divines demanding answers by force.


    In terms of strength, Fang Hai believed he could surpass anyone, but he was still short of that invincible might.


    To lead the entire civilization, he would need prestige.


    With Dongfang Ji gone, only Lant Semi-Divine held that prestige, as his historic acts of saving the civilization gave everyone reason to believe¡­ Lant Semi-Divine would never betray their civilization. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°As for leaks?¡±


    ¡°No matter how much we keep a secret, Myriad Demons Civilization would still find out about the Alliance Leader¡¯s fall, perhaps they even know now, this is related to other secrets of our civilization.¡± Lant Semi-Divine said solemnly, ¡°The specifics, we¡¯ll discuss later.¡±


    ¡°We just need to know one thing.¡±


    ¡°Following this, no matter how the Myriad Demons Civilization tries probing attacks or invasions, we must hold our ground,¡± declared Lant Semi-Divine seriously. ¡°As long as we can delay them, even if Feixing falls, even if hundreds of billions perish¡­ as long as we can hold them off.¡±


    ¡°Delaying until the day the Alliance Leader or Li Yuan breaks through, we can then settle everything.¡±


    Everyone present turned their eyes towards Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    If the Myriad Demons Civilization already knew the truth, then war was imminent¡­ Most of them had cultivated for hundreds of years, seeking to quickly increase their strength was simply impossible.


    Only Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    These two unparalleled geniuses, if solely discussing the speed of cultivation and rise, Fang Hai was not inferior to Dongfang Ji¡­ and Li Yuan was even more exaggerated.


    In any case, their existence brought the highest echelons of the Seven Star Civilization a glimpse of hope for victory.


    ¡°We primarily have two major disasters,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said, ¡°First, the Demon Mountain Star Realm, which is the Fourth Level Star Realm bordering the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°It is also the only Fourth Level Star Realm gate of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    A Fourth Level Star Realm allows semi-divines to freely enter and exit.


    In history, the numerous semi-divine great wars that the Seven Star Civilization burst into were mostly initiated in the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    ¡°We must guard the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said, ¡°As long as we hold it, then the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s semi-divine peak cannot invade.¡±


    ¡°Nor can they destroy the entire civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the past, when the Dongfang Alliance Leader was here, he alone could defend the gate, but now, we need more semi-divines to guard it,¡± Lant Semi-Divine spoke gravely.


    More semi-divines? Everyone felt a heavy burden.


    How many semi-divines were there in the entire Seven Star Civilization?


    ¡°Second, the Third Level Star Realms on each of the major planets¡­ Previously, each planet had a semi-divine guarding it, the Alien Civilization knew that invading was futile, unable to shake our foundation. Therefore, they would only probe occasionally, but would fiercely break through using the Third Level Star Realms,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said, ¡°Like the crisis on Lantie Star, the Myriad Demons Civilization only deployed thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors¡­¡±


    ¡°But if we focus the semi-divines on guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the strength on other planets will naturally weaken.¡±


    ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization secretly allies with other civilizations and launches fierce attacks, striking through all Third Level Star Realms, the pressure on us will be unprecedented,¡± Lant Semi-Divine said.


    Everyone nodded.


    Just thinking about such a scenario could make one feel desperate.


    If the Myriad Demons Star Realm falls, then all is lost, and hundreds of semi-divines invading would mean the sequential conquest of Feixing and other planets until their final annihilation.


    But if the other Third Level Star Realms fall, massive invasions by Flying Heaven Level Alien Races would be equally disastrous.


    Like the crisis on Lantie Star, it seemed like the Seven Star Civilization held its ground.


    But at what great cost? A few months was not enough time for reconstruction.


    ¡°We must prioritize guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm,¡± Fang Hai spoke gravely, ¡°This is the foundation¡­ Our teacher set up an Origin Power Array at the entrance of the Demon Mountain Star Realm, this array faintly merges with the entirety of Feixing, and semi-divines inside will have their strength greatly enhanced, the more there are, the stronger the might displayed by the array.¡±


    ¡°So, Semi-Divine Middle Rank experts from other planets must come as soon as possible,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Even the Semi-Divine Initial Rank experts should come if they can.¡±


    ¡°We must block the enemy at the entrance.¡±


    A single statement.


    The Demon Mountain Star Realm was the most crucial, otherwise, hundreds of semi-divines invading was simply indefensible.


    ¡°What about the other planets?¡± Xin Yu Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What should we do? Like this crisis on Lantie Star, those three Alien Race Semi-Divines, their strength was terrifying, and Semi-Divine Initial Rank couldn¡¯t withstand them.¡±


    ¡°Leave the bare minimum of semi-divines on each planet,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s gaze was intense, ¡°Then, we¡¯ll rely on Li Yuan and his Spirit Beast.¡±


    ¡°Rely on me?¡± Li Yuan was initially startled, then immediately understood Fang Hai¡¯s intention.


    ¡°Can I freely traverse the major Star Realms and thus provide support to the Six Great Planets at any time?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s strength was not comparable to Semi-Divine Peak.


    But in terms of rescue and support, he could arrive at any planet within a few hours, a feat other semi-divines definitely couldn¡¯t match.

 Chapter 697: 375: Li Yuans Responsibilities (Bonus Chapter)

    Chapter 697: Chapter 375: Li Yuan¡¯s Responsibilities (Bonus Chapter)


    ¡°Since the Myriad Demons Civilization will definitely be aware,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said gravely, ¡°Feixing must undergo a large-scale migration. With the Origin Power Array, other trump cards left by the Dongfang Alliance Leader, and so many First Rank Star Masters¡­ our chances of victory are not low, it¡¯s ultimately not like over a hundred years ago.¡±


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but nod in agreement.


    The great war of Feixing more than a hundred years ago, at that time, the Seven Star Civilization had fewer than thirty demigods¡­ It was almost entirely dependent on Dongfang Ji.


    Times have changed.


    The Seven Star Civilization has grown stronger, even though Dongfang Ji perished, facing the Myriad Demons Civilization, they still have the power to fight.


    ¡°But we must consider defeat before victory, we must prepare for failure,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine continued, ¡°Apart from many treasures, the migration of Feixing is mainly about the population. I suggest primarily moving towards Heavenly Sea Star, Blue Star, and Firefly Star¡­ Not to mention Entry Rank Warriors, even the ordinary population must be relocated.¡±


    ...


    ¡°These,¡± he emphasized, ¡°are the future of our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡±


    ¡°Migration is a must.¡± Everyone nodded again, only with a large population could Martial Path prodigies emerge, and only from a group of prodigies could a demigod emerge.


    ¡°Then, initiate the inheritance plan. The major planets should also try to move to the Second Level Star Realms we¡¯ve completely occupied, so that even if the great planets fall, we can preserve their vital energy and not be completely destroyed.¡± When Bai Shan Semi-Divine said this, he couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Yuan, ¡°Fortunately, Li Yuan destroyed many Second Level Star Realms back then¡­ Now our space for survival will be much larger than before.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a great contribution.¡±


    Many demigods looked at Li Yuan, who had swept through many Second Level Star Realms back then; his contributions were still countable¡­ Now, they seemed immeasurable.


    You see, the environments of most Star Realms are harsh, not suitable for large populations to live in.


    But the many Second Level Star Realms that Li Yuan had destroyed were very suitable for living.


    Not to mention places like Mingxu Star Realm and Mystic Demons Star Realm, they could easily support billions of people.


    However, according to the experience accumulated over the past few centuries, the beings born in Star Realms mostly have very low Martial Path potential, and the hope of becoming Flying Heaven Warriors or even demigods is much lower than that of life born on planets¡­ Therefore, neither the Seven Star Civilization nor other civilizations have deliberately developed large breeding areas.


    Breeding a large population consumes immense resources.


    But now, merely as a temporary ¡®refuge¡¯, the numerous fully occupied Second Level Star Realms are crucial.


    ¡°Do I need to sweep through those Third Level Star Realms?¡± Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.


    After the crisis on Lantie Star had ended, many Foreign Civilizations hoped for peace talks, but the time was too short, so very few actual treaties were signed with those civilizations.


    If he really wanted to act, with Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, he could sweep through most of the Third Level Star Realms.


    ¡°No,¡± Lant Semi-Divine shook his head, ¡°Li Yuan, sweeping through Third Level Star Realms is easy for you, ordinary demigods can¡¯t stop you, but we would struggle to hold them¡­ Doing this would only lead more Alien Civilizations to wage war against us.¡±


    ¡°Even if you temporarily wipe them out, once you withdraw, they can still emerge from the Third Level Star Realms¡­ Once we start fighting the Myriad Demons Civilization, they could join the battle, which would only magnify our troubles.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    As time passed, the nine powerful beings present gradually discussed and came up with various plans, and soon began to disperse, sending orders to their subordinates among the Flying Heaven Star Lords.


    Demigods mainly prepared for the upcoming decisive battle; this was the core.


    As for things like migration? Patrolling? Guarding Third Level Star Realms and so on, those were tasks for Flying Heaven Warriors and Origin Warrior Sect to handle.


    In the end, in the Starfire Realm, only Li Yuan and Fang Hai remained.


    ¡°Principal,¡± Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai, unable to hold back, ¡°Tell me, is the Dongfang Alliance Leader really gone?¡±


    Until this moment, Li Yuan still harbored hope.


    Perhaps Dongfang Ji was playing a larger game.


    ¡°Ah,¡± Fang Hai gave a bitter smile, ¡°I too hope teacher is still alive, but I have no need to lie to you. Even if the Soul Lamp is false, can Soul Control be faked? You also have Soul Servants; you should understand better than me.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    Indeed!


    Li Yuan practiced ¡°Soul Nine Refinements¡±; he understood the techniques of Soul Control better than any other demigod.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be,¡± Li Yuan clenched his teeth.


    ¡°I find it hard to accept too. Teacher, before he left, said it would be an easy journey and that he would return after a while, how could it¡­ But this is reality,¡±a trace of bitterness flickered across Fang Hai¡¯s face.


    Then, Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ll be honest with you, among all the demigods in our civilization, there¡¯s none I trust completely, you are the one I trust the most.¡±


    ¡°Trust none?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted.


    Not even Lant Semi-Divine or Bai Shan Semi-Divine?


    ¡°Teacher handed the Seven Star Civilization into my hands, so I must be extremely cautious,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s eyes sparkled, ¡°I must be absolutely rational, and must not let emotions cloud my judgment.¡±


    Li Yuan listened silently.


    ¡°The other demigods, it¡¯s very difficult for them to ascend to divinity, so if they want to surrender, the Myriad Demons Civilization might accept them,¡± Fang Hai stated solemnly, ¡°Only you and I¡­ unless we are willing to be controlled by Soul Control, the Myriad Demons Civilization will never allow us to survive.¡±


    ¡°We pose a great threat to the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    Other demigods had a way out, but he and the principal did not.


    ¡°Li Yuan, you and your Heavenly Serpent Spirit Beast, your main task is to help defend the Six Great Planets,¡± Fang Hai said, ¡°Secondly, there are a few important tasks for you.¡±


    ¡°Principal, what is it?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°Take away the Divine Artifact Chamber, Star Technique World, and Martial God Inheritance,¡± Fang Hai stated gravely, ¡°These three are the most important legacies of our entire civilization¡­ I have to stay to defend Feixing, and there¡¯s a risk I might perish, so you will take these items away.¡±


    Li Yuan was deeply moved.


    The so-called Martial God Inheritance, among other things Li Yuan had entered, he naturally understood their significance.


    What trust this was.


    ¡°Once you¡¯ve taken them away, bring the Divine Artifact Chamber to each planet, meet every demigod,¡± Fang Hai continued, ¡°Allow these demigods to choose two ordinary Divine Artifacts each from the chamber.¡±


    ¡°First Rank Star Master, you may choose one superior Pseudo-God Artifact,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°At the moment of civilization¡¯s life and death, we cannot be bothered with rules¡­ we must strengthen everyone¡¯s power as much as possible.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    The Divine Artifact Chamber contained hundreds of artifacts, invaluable¡­ It was not reliable to entrust them to other Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Only I can reach different planets quickly.


    ¡°Anything else you want to ask?¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Principal, I want to know, why are you and Lant Semi-Divine so certain that the Myriad Demons Civilization would know about the fall of the Dongfang Alliance Leader?¡± Li Yuan could not help but ask, as this was his most puzzling point.


    ¡°Soul Control,¡± Fang Hai said directly. ¡°The teacher has controlled the souls of two Demigods from the Myriad Demons.¡±


    ¡°Among the controlled Demigods, one holds an extremely high position within the Myriad Demons Civilization, named Ye An,¡± Fang Hai sighed.


    Li Yuan was surprised.


    Ye An Demigod?


    This!


    That was the number one Demigod of the current Myriad Demons Civilization, possessing Semi-Divine Peak strength, yet he was controlled by Dongfang Ji¡¯s soul?


    ¡°Was it during the battle over Feixing more than a hundred years ago?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Fang Hai did not hide it.


    Li Yuan marveled; during the battle over Feixing, only Ye An Demigod had escaped back to the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ That was one of Ye An Demigod¡¯s famous battles, and unexpectedly, it turned out that he was secretly let go by the Alliance Leader.


    Absolutely unimaginable.


    However, this also clarified for Li Yuan why, during battles like the one in Ming Xu Star Realm, their side always seemed to have advanced intelligence on the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ If the leader of the opposing side was a mole, how could they not know the intelligence?


    This also reminded Li Yuan of Xue Yan, whom he controlled.


    According to the message he sent back, Xue Yan had already broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.


    ¡°If the teacher really has fallen, then those two Demigods must have regained their freedom,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°As long as they are not foolish¡­ they will surely report to the East Demon Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded understandably, no wonder Fang Hai and the others were certain that the news of Dongfang Ji¡¯s fall could not be concealed.


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded. ¡°Principal, I¡¯m still puzzled, why must I take over as Vice Alliance Hierarch now?¡±


    Logically, there was no need to rush.


    ¡°Do you know why we are holding this meeting in the Starfire Realm?¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°There are places for alliance meetings.¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head.


    That was another curious point for him.


    ¡°The Starfire Realm is the ¡®place of authority granting¡¯ left by the teacher, where the Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch are inaugurated,¡± Fang Hai solemnly said. ¡°Only here, by obtaining approval from more than half of the Demigods of our civilization, can we gain the recognition of the Starfire Realm and truly be Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    Li Yuan seemed thoughtful.


    A place of authority granting?


    ¡°You becoming Vice Alliance Hierarch, already have the authority key,¡± Fang Hai said. ¡°Soon, Elder Yun will find you again and will tell you the real secret of Blue Star, and you will understand.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Elder Yun had not appeared just now, and he was somewhat puzzled, so it turned out he would look for him again.


    ¡°By the way, Alliance Leader,¡± Li Yuan said. ¡°I also specialize in the technique of soul control¡­ Those imprisoned Alien Race Demigods on Feixing, could I try to control them?¡±


    ¡°You?¡± Fang Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, ¡°Indeed, you have controlled Sang Qiu Demigod¡­ There are 28 imprisoned Alien Race Demigods; once you finish handling the artifacts, come immediately to Feixing, and I will have Senior Lant take you there to attempt.¡±


    ¡°But your soul hasn¡¯t reached the Pseudo-God Level yet,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°Then the hope is not great,¡± Fang Hai sighed. ¡°These imprisoned Demigods are basically at the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine Peak?¡± Li Yuan was startled inwardly.


    The Dongfang Alliance Leader had captured so many Semi-Divine Peak experts? How did he manage that?


    Indeed, troublesome.


    Even ordinary Demigods were not something Li Yuan was sure he could overpower, let alone those at the Semi-Divine Peak? There was even less hope.


    ¡°The teacher is a Pseudo-God Level soul¡­ even he has difficulty forcibly controlling them and relies on time to wear down their will to resist, eventually making them bow, but these years, only two have been controlled,¡± Fang Hai said.


    Pseudo-God Level soul? Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    It was rare for someone in the Flying Heaven Realm to possess a Semi-Divine Level soul, not to mention a Demigod possessing a soul of the Void God Realm¡­ This was even more rare and unusual than an unbeatable Demigod.


    But considering the other party was Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan was not surprised.


    ¡°Then we can only try negotiations,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Negotiations?¡± Fang Hai was momentarily stunned.


    Quickly, Li Yuan voiced his thoughts, and upon hearing them, Fang Hai nodded, ¡°That can be considered.¡±


    How many Semi-Divine Peak experts are there in the Seven Star Civilization altogether? If Li Yuan could control a few Demigods.


    Then, the lack of peak combat power would be greatly alleviated.


    After discussing everything.


    Li Yuan¡¯s thought also left the virtual network¡­ because he had just received the latest message from Elder Yun.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan, come immediately to Xia Country Capital.¡±

 Chapter 698: 376: Gu Yous Gift! Blue Stars Base

    Chapter 698: Chapter 376: Gu You¡¯s Gift! Blue Star¡¯s Base


    Warship, inside the Quiet Cultivation Room.


    ¡°Little Ice, you¡¯ve already been informed about the situation in detail.¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing, who was coiled around his arm, and said directly, ¡°Do you have any good solutions?¡±


    With the strength of his soul as it was now, Li Yuan only needed to divert a trace of his thoughts to enter the virtual network.


    Therefore, during the exchange in the Starfire Realm, Li Yuan had already conveyed the related messages to Little Ice and Gu You.


    He wanted to see if they had any methods.


    ¡°There¡¯s no particularly good solution, Big Brother.¡± Liu Bing responded, ¡°If it were one or two especially powerful Demigods, even Semi-Divine Limit Experts, we could simply use the Secret Treasure¡¯s killer move¡­ But with a civilization war, we¡¯re talking about hundreds of Demigods.¡±


    ...


    ¡°And there¡¯s a chance that it¡¯s not only the Myriad Demons Civilization that will take action; the scale is too large.¡±


    ¡°As for the Origin Power Array, as you said, Big Brother, the one left behind by Dongfang Ji is already extremely strong. It won¡¯t be stronger than what Qiu the senior provided, after all. Without Pseudo-Gods, the entire Seven Star Civilization can¡¯t fully utilize too powerful a treasure.¡± Liu Bing said.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed, indeed, no matter how powerful a treasure was, one needed enough personal strength to wield it.


    Like the life-saving secret treasure Sister Gu You gave him, he only gained full control after he stepped into the Threshold of the Law of Earth.


    Secondly.


    This was ultimately a war that the Seven Star Civilization was going to face, and Li Yuan knew it had nothing to do with Liu Bing¡­ Liu Bing had her own destiny.


    ¡°Little Ice, this time, I still have to ask for your help.¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Big Brother, I will definitely fight alongside you, just like with the Lantie Star incident.¡± Liu Bing smiled and said, ¡°I have a good impression of the entire Seven Star Civilization, not to mention there are quite a lot of delicious things.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but show a smile.


    Over these past few months.


    He had been stationed at Kunlun Martial University for a long time, but Liu Bing, ever since refining the token and becoming a ¡®Civilization Minister¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization, would often wander around the cities near Kunlun Martial University.


    With her strength, she could shrink her body to two meters in length, distort the light to cast an illusion, disguising her appearance as a normal human, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect her.


    Such a life was also novel for Liu Bing.


    ¡°Only this time it¡¯s different, Little Ice,¡± Li Yuan said as he looked at Liu Bing. ¡°During the crisis on Lantie Star, the threat to us wasn¡¯t great¡­ But this time, if a war truly breaks out as anticipated, it¡¯ll likely be very brutal. I hope you can help, but if it comes to a dangerous moment, you should flee, survive.¡±


    ¡°Flee?¡± Liu Bing shook her head immediately, ¡°Wherever Big Brother is, that¡¯s where I want to be.¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Li Yuan replied patiently, ¡°You are the Heavenly Serpent Clan¡¯s ¡®Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent,¡¯ and you have the responsibility and obligation to survive, to rebuild the Heaven Snake clan one day; that is what¡¯s most important for you¡­ If we truly reach a desperate moment, then you must survive and head to the Nine Leaves Star Realm or the Nine Mountains Star Realm alone.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you the locations of the Star Realms.¡±


    Liu Bing was stunned. Although she had tens of thousands of years of vague memories before she was born, deep down she yearned to rebuild her clan, but she was also extremely worried about Li Yuan.


    ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±


    ¡°Little Ice, you help me this time, but just do your best.¡± Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing, ¡°Never risk your life, and when I tell you to go, you have to promise me.¡± S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Liu Bing was silent for a long time. She could feel the resolute determination in Li Yuan¡¯s soul and finally spoke slowly, ¡°Okay, Big Brother, I promise you.¡±


    ¡°If we truly reach such a state, I swear, I will one day avenge the enemies of the Seven Star Civilization, I definitely will!¡± Liu Bing said.


    Li Yuan smiled, it was good that Liu Bing wasn¡¯t stubborn.


    ¡°Little Ice, you stay in the Kunlun Star Realm for now, I¡¯m going out for a bit.¡± Li Yuan instructed.


    ¡°Mhm.¡±


    ¡­


    Li Yuan flew out of the warship and immediately waved his hand, creating a long shuttle treasure in his palm, engraved with nebula patterns, emitting a rather mysterious aura.


    It was the top-grade Virtual Divine Artifact ¡®Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.¡¯


    Buzz~


    With a thought from Li Yuan, he executed the ¡®All Things Divine Body,¡¯ and his body instantly grew larger, with his Origin Power¡¯s might also surging dramatically as potent Origin Power flowed into the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, causing this artifact to rapidly expand.


    ¡°Enter.¡± With a movement, Li Yuan entered the interior of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, his enormous body almost merging with the artifact as one.


    This artifact was different from a warship; the warship was constructed from multiple pieces, and even if engraved with an Origin Power Array, it wasn¡¯t a flawless whole; it had weaknesses, and thus, super powerful beings could breach the warship if they continuously attacked.


    But the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, which could only accommodate a few people and couldn¡¯t transform into anything significantly larger, was extremely sturdy.


    ¡°Extreme Void,¡± Second Layer. Li Yuan¡¯s thoughts spurred the vast and unfathomable Great Dao of Wind Origin in the cosmos, bringing into action the mystery of the ¡°Extreme Void¡± Second Layer.


    It caused the entire surface of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle to shine with a hazy green glow.


    The secret ¡®Extreme Void¡¯ technique contained within the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle had five layers.


    The First Layer required the True Meaning of Wind to reach Sixth Stage Perfection.


    The Second Layer required stepping into the Threshold of the Wind Law.


    The Third Layer required the Wind Law to reach the Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage.


    ¡­


    The Fifth Layer required the Wind Law to reach the Perfection Level of the Seventh Stage, thus allowing the Divine Artifact¡¯s might to be used to its utmost limit.


    And Li Yuan, through months of persistent cultivation, had unknowingly stepped into the Threshold of the Wind Law and smoothly grasped the ¡®Extreme Void¡¯ up to the Second Layer.


    Such a Divine Artifact¡¯s secret technique was easy to comprehend, as the artifact¡¯s Origin guided it; once slightly understood, it could be used to perfectly execute the secret technique.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle immediately turned into a dazzling green light streaking across the skies, its speed far surpassing Li Yuan¡¯s own flight.


    ¡°Going all out, the flight speed can reach about 15 kilometers per second,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Although it is still far from Little Ice¡¯s speed, it has already surpassed the flight speed of most Semi-Divine Peak Experts.¡±

 Chapter 699: 376: Gu Yous Gift! Blue Stars Base_2

    Chapter 699: Chapter 376: Gu You¡¯s Gift! Blue Star¡¯s Base_2


    Liu Bing, that was someone who possessed extremely high Law Comprehension, combined with the Nine Layer Star Technique, and a top-grade Pseudo-God Artifact, to have such an exaggerated speed.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan hastened towards the Capital City at full speed, in the Ancient Divine Palace, his Divine Sense avatar was also communicating with Gu You.


    ¡°I can¡¯t do it either,¡± Gu You shook her head.


    ¡°Sister, is there really no way?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that there¡¯s no way; it¡¯s just that it can¡¯t be done right now,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Brother, you should know that I am not truly a living being¡­ Father entrusted the Ancient Divine Palace to me, granting me extremely high authority, and I trust you completely, so I am willing to give you as much help as I can within my authority.¡±


    ...


    ¡°That¡¯s why I followed you when you risked going into the Second Level Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t have a suitable weapon, and so I helped to refine a Divine Artifact.¡±


    ¡°But some things exceed the scope of my authority.¡± S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I cannot disobey Father¡¯s orders,¡± Gu You said. ¡°Unless you now pass the fourth challenge, I could bring out more of Father¡¯s special treasures.¡±


    ¡°Then, stopping an army of demigods should not be difficult,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°The fourth challenge?¡± Li Yuan fell silent.


    According to Sister Gu You, one normally needs to reach the Semi-Divine level and cultivate for a long time before there¡¯s hope to pass the fourth challenge¡­ Even for him, having spent too little time accumulating power in the Flying Heaven Realm, now breaking through to become a demigod would likely offer no hope of passing.


    ¡°Sister, sorry, I¡¯m making it difficult for you,¡± Li Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    Gu You possessed extremely high intelligence, but she must be something like a support AI, or a Spirit of a Haven, or a Magical Treasure; otherwise, she couldn¡¯t have lived for so long.


    Likewise, she had to obey the commands left by her master.


    There were some fundamental orders left by the Ancient Torch Divine that she could not defy.


    ¡°Brother, things are far less dangerous than you think,¡± Gu You shook her head. ¡°The war has not broken out yet, maybe the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn¡¯t dare to start a war at all.¡±


    ¡°Even if the war breaks out, even if you fail, you can still retreat to the major Star Realms; it won¡¯t lead to the extinction of the civilization in the short term,¡± Gu You said. ¡°By that time, you just hide somewhere in the cosmic starry sky, and after several decades in concealed cultivation within the Ancient Divine Palace, not to mention a group of demigods, even Pseudo-Gods wouldn¡¯t be able to find you. With your talent, by then, you would likely possess invincible demi-godlike power.¡±


    ¡°Even power comparable to a Pseudo-God is possible.¡±


    ¡°Then, you can lead your clansmen in a counter-attack, and rebuilding the Seven Star Civilization will be a piece of cake,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°No!¡± Li Yuan shook his head.


    ¡°No civilization can last forever, not even the mighty Heavenly Serpent Clan can avoid downfall; likewise, the Starry Sky Ancient City, which claims to have a legacy of hundreds of millions of years, has its day of falling, even the recognized strongest Divine Court will turn into ruins,¡± Gu You said in confusion. ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal for civilizations to rise and fall? The Seven Star Civilization with its population of hundreds of billions, having geniuses like you and Fang Hai, is already very fortunate.¡±


    Gu You did not understand Li Yuan¡¯s thinking.


    In her eyes, the crisis the Seven Star Civilization was facing was nothing at all.


    As long as Li Yuan could survive, she didn¡¯t care about the survival of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Sister, if I didn¡¯t have the power, it would be another matter, like if the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain erupts in turmoil tomorrow, threatening to destroy the entire Dimensional Plane¡­ I would have no choice but to watch helplessly.¡±


    ¡°But with the crisis at hand, I now have the strength, and I absolutely do not wish to witness that scene happen,¡± Li Yuan said gravely. ¡°I will go all out to prevent the war from erupting within our civilization.¡±


    ¡°I do not want to see Feixing¡¯s tragedy repeated.¡±


    The education he received since he was young.


    Everything he experienced after stepping onto the Martial Artist¡¯s path, from the Mingxu Star Realm to the Fish Spirit Tide, and then to the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Lantie Star crisis¡ªall of these shaped Li Yuan.


    He absolutely did not want the scenes of crisis seen in Lantie Star to be replayed on every planet.


    The disaster of Feixing was even more of a nightmare.


    Should it come to that, hundreds of billions of lives would be lost, countless flourishing cities would become ruins.


    ¡°Do you really need to go all out?¡± Gu You shook her head.


    ¡°If the situation becomes truly irretrievable, I will retreat,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly. ¡°I am well aware that only by surviving can we maintain the last hope.¡±


    ¡°Alas,¡± the young girl said, ¡°I can¡¯t persuade you; so be it¡­ I will help you one more time within the limits of my authority.¡±


    ¡°Your Divine Sense projection, it has reached the Hundred Battles Chamber,¡± Gu You said.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    ¡­In the Ancient Divine Palace, inside the Hundred Battles Chamber, which primarily contained a very vast Hundred Battles Arena.


    However, Li Yuan hadn¡¯t been there in a long time.


    ¡°Look below,¡± Gu You pointed at the empty Hundred Battles Arena, whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!


    Immediately, large amounts of silver liquid rose up on the arena, and then quickly solidified to form humanoid figures, each wearing Combat Armor and holding a weapon, densely packed together.


    They appeared as a rigorously disciplined army formation.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The Hundred Battles Arena was suddenly filled with as many as several thousand Silver Armored Warriors exuding powerful presences, neatly aligned, as if carved from stone.


    ¡°What are these?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°Each of these silver armor puppets possesses Flying Heaven Peak strength,¡± Gu You said. ¡°And when they form an array with each other, if ten combine, they can barely contend with a Flying Heaven Limit Expert.¡±


    ¡°There are a total of three thousand of them.¡±


    ¡°I can temporarily give them to you,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan. ¡°This is the greatest extent of help that I can offer.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Wasn¡¯t this equivalent to having three thousand Flying Heaven Peak Experts?


    Although the Seven Star Civilization had tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, only so many could likely reach the level of the Flying Heavenly Palace.


    ¡°These are merely Heavenly Level puppets; they cannot withstand an army of demigods, but with them, your defense of the various Second Level and Third Level Star Realms will be much easier, and greatly help reduce casualties among your civilizational populace,¡± Gu You said.

 Chapter 700: 376 Gu Yous Gift! Blue Stars Base_3

    Chapter 700: Chapter 376 Gu You¡¯s Gift! Blue Star¡¯s Base_3


    ¡°Sister, thank you,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly.


    ¡°No need to thank me, since you are Father¡¯s only Direct Disciple and my hopes are all on you,¡± Gu You said solemnly, ¡°I only hope one thing, do as much as you can handle and survive.¡±


    Time passed.


    Under Gu You¡¯s guidance, Li Yuan gradually learned how to control these Flying Heaven puppets.


    ¡­


    Externally, Li Yuan had piloted the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle to the skies above the Xia Country Capital.


    ...


    In the void, Bai Shan Semi-Divine had been waiting for him here, their Semi Divine Level Perception Ability allowing them to easily sense each other.


    ¡°Bai Shan senior,¡± Li Yuan approached.


    ¡°Yun Lao has already messaged me,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°Follow me, Dongfang has hidden secrets on various major planets, like Feixing having established some mysterious bases¡­ on Blue Star, Dongfang also established a base.¡±


    ¡°And it¡¯s in Xia Country,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°I am the only one who knows the location of this base.¡±


    A base? A thought flickered in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, the Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s base on Feixing, even holding Semi-Divine Peak Experts.


    ¡°What¡¯s inside this base?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head.


    Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°Many things, apart from Dongfang himself, only Yun Lao knew,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine sighed, ¡°Now that Dongfang is gone, it¡¯s handed down to Fang Hai and you, according to Yun Lao¡¯s words¡­ These things are the last resort when the Seven Star Civilization faces a dire crisis.¡±


    ¡°We mustn¡¯t use it unless it¡¯s a last resort,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°A last resort?¡± Hope also rose in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two of them crossed the Capital City, coming to the continuous mountain ranges on the north side of the city.


    Deep within the mountain, there was a highly guarded base, the outside world merely considering it a military base.


    The two streaks of light quickly reached the deepest part of the base.


    Here, even the soldiers guarding the place could not step foot, with covers everywhere, it just appeared like a dense forest from afar.


    But under Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense, he discovered the entrance, the entrance was not big, only about three meters high.


    The surface was completely cast from silver Metal, resembling a round door.


    ¡°This is the place,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Hm?¡± A flicker of surprise passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, his Divine Sense dispersed, but he found it couldn¡¯t penetrate the silver Metal at all, a material that could block Divine Sense Inquiry¡­ He continued his inquiry along the silver Metal shell downward.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, a model immediately appeared.


    ¡°This seems to be a downward circular conduit.¡± Li Yuan was shocked inside, ¡°My Divine Sense Inquiry has a radius of nearly eight kilometers, yet it can¡¯t perceive the end? How deep is this conduit?¡±


    ¡°Did you perceive it?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, speaking in a low tone, ¡°Senior, how should we get in?¡±


    ¡°Just stand at the doorway,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, ¡°This is what Yun Lao said.¡±


    Although Li Yuan found it strange, he still flashed in front of the silver Metal conduit, two meters away.


    The next second.


    Hiss~ It seemed like an invisible fluctuation swept over Li Yuan¡¯s entire body.


    ¡°Authentication check, Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Star Civilization, recognized by the Starfire Realm, permission to enter,¡± a mechanical voice sounded. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 701: 377 A Group of Semi-Divine Peak

    Chapter 701: Chapter 377 A Group of Semi-Divine Peak


    Whoosh! Li Yuan¡¯s gaze sharpened, and his body moved swiftly as he rushed into the dark cave.


    As soon as he entered the cave.


    Buzz~ Before him, a circular tunnel less than two meters in diameter suddenly brightened as if it were broad daylight, reaching straight to the deepest part.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped, turned his head, and looked towards Bai Shan Semi-Divine standing at the entrance of the cave. ¡°Senior Bai Shan, why don¡¯t you come in?¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine was about to speak.


    ¡°He can¡¯t come in.¡± A cold voice rang out, and in an instant, a large amount of light converged, forming the phantom of an old man in a white robe within the passage.


    ...


    ¡°Master Yun.¡± Li Yuan recognized the person.


    ¡°Master Yun.¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said likewise, ¡°Since you appear, you should explain the cause to Li Yuan.¡±


    Master Yun nodded, looking at Li Yuan, ¡°Follow me, I¡¯ll explain as we walk.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Master Yun¡¯s phantom flew ahead, and Li Yuan followed behind, both of them not flying particularly fast.


    ¡°Leaders within civilizations, even semi-divines, occasionally travel along plane passages, leaving the dimensional plane to venture between the starry sky space rifts,¡± Master Yun explained. ¡°Even the master, for the past hundred years, aside from his occasional journeys to the Nine Mountains World, passing several trials¡­ also occasionally journeyed into the starry sky rifts.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively, realizing that the vast Mortal Domain lay among many dimensional planes, enshrouded by substantial regions of starry sky rifts.


    Like the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, it was located within a starry sky rift.


    The descending deities from days of old, those divine wars, all erupted within the starry sky rifts.


    ¡°Like those imprisoned semi-divines on the Flying Star Base, they are captured starry beings by the master,¡± Master Yun said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    Starry beings?


    He had seen similar descriptions in divine realm annals; in the vast universe, numerous bizarre beings were born.


    These beings were mostly born powerful but had a hard time reproducing and finding others of their kind.


    ¡°The path of cultivation, mere tranquil meditation will not make one powerful. The master¡¯s strength improved through enduring many hardships,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°But what adventurous ventures are entirely safe? Therefore, before every dangerous venture, the master made numerous contingency plans¡­¡±


    ¡°After Fang Hai returned from the Nine Leaves World¡­ it confirmed something for the master, even at the most perilous moment, the Seven Star Civilization would not be entirely extinguished, at most suffering some hardships,¡± Master Yun said.


    ¡°Therefore, the master decided to go to the Nine Mountains World, embarking on the last and most critical venture,¡± Master Yun said somberly. ¡°After all, to protect the civilization, the master had already delayed for a long time, waiting for long.¡±


    ¡°The master had longed to go for a while.¡±


    Something in Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred.


    The timing of Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s departure was exactly when the principal became semi-divine and took over as the Vice Alliance Hierarch.


    ¡°Unfortunately.¡± Master Yun slightly shook his head, sighing softly.


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    Regrettably, in this life-and-death venture, the Alliance Leader had perished.


    ¡°Though the master is dead, the various treasures he left will still be effective,¡± Master Yun halted his steps. ¡°But one must have sufficient authority to be eligible to enter the base; for instance, attempting to enter, Bai Shan Semi-Divine would be killed.¡±


    ¡°Authority?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    The Vice Alliance Hierarch?


    ¡°Many bases on Flying Star can only be accessed by the Alliance Hierarch,¡± Master Yun said. ¡°This base on Blue Star, only the Vice Alliance Hierarch can control.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately recalled what Bai Shan Semi-Divine had just mentioned about convening a meeting in the Starfire Realm.


    The purpose was to officially select a new Alliance Hierarch, Vice Alliance Hierarch.


    This still left a hint of doubt in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Even if the Dongfang Alliance Leader had demon servants within the Myriad Demons Civilization, after gaining freedom, would the demon servants necessarily leak information?


    What if no information was leaked?


    Besides, while the likelihood of a traitor among the First Rank Star Masters was minuscule, with dozens of semi-divines, could there be any controlled covertly by soul manipulation?


    After all, both Dongfang Alliance Leader and Li Yuan could control other strong beings¡¯ souls; similarly, within Seven Star Civilization, strong beings could be under soul control.


    Most importantly, why the process of ¡®semi-divine public recognition¡¯ necessarily in the Starfire Realm?


    Ultimately, because of his high status and ownership of much information, it perpetually left Li Yuan puzzled.


    However, since both Fang Hai and Master Yun repeatedly confirmed Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s fall, Li Yuan could only accept the reality.


    ¡°No matter what.¡±


    ¡°Prepare for the worst,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn¡¯t attack, so be it, but if they do come¡­ then we only can fight with all our might!¡±


    A moment later.


    Li Yuan, following Master Yun, arrived at the deepest part of the passage where a vast hall stood.


    At a glance, Li Yuan saw the massive spherical device at the center, dimly floating, its diameter surely over a hundred meters, adorned with countless complex glimmers, gleaming resplendently, undoubtedly the most sophisticated technology he had ever seen.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    ¡°This is the mainframe of the Blue Star virtual network,¡± Master Yun said gruffly. ¡°It is also one of the three major virtual network mainframes of the Seven Star Civilization, a Sixth Rank mainframe.¡±


    ¡°Such mainframes for your virtual network, even in the Divine Realm, are among the highest echelons, enough to become the core of a civilization,¡± Master Yun said proudly.


    ¡°The core of the virtual network?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    He instantly recalled something Gu You had said before, who had tried to intrude into the Blue Star virtual network and failed.


    At that time, Gu You speculated that the Blue Star virtual network mainframe was exceedingly high-end.


    Now, it appeared to be true.


    ¡°Decades ago, in 2007, the master ventured into the Nine Mountains World¡­ ultimately bringing back the three major virtual mainframes,¡± Master Yun looked at Li Yuan. ¡°They are installed on Flying Star, Blue Star, and Heavenly Sea Star.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod; the virtual network only commenced in 2009.


    With the virtual network, the whole Seven Star Civilization¡¯s resource distribution and Martial Path talent selection efficiency were greatly enhanced again.


    ¡°This virtual host is controlled by me, you just need to know that it¡¯s here,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°I brought you here mainly for you to acknowledge the ¡®Guardian Legion¡¯ here.¡±


    ¡°Guardian Legion?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart stirred, understanding that this was the real hidden secret.


    Huu!


    Stepping past a virtual network host that flashed continuously, Li Yuan passed through the grand hall, turned down a corridor, and crossed a layer of light screen ripples that could block Divine Sense Inquiry.


    He then suddenly discovered another mysterious hall.


    This domed hall was even more spacious, with a height exceeding eight hundred meters and a ground diameter of over two kilometers¡­ There definitely wasn¡¯t such a magnificent structure on Blue Star.


    The entire hall was shrouded in haze.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan immediately saw ten uniform figures standing in the center of the hall.


    Each figure was about three meters tall, clad in thick black Combat Armor, each holding a huge Divine Sword, heads bowed and eyes closed, their expressions cold, faintly emitting a powerful aura¡­ At first glance, they seemed like humanoid beings.


    But Li Yuan had already confirmed that they were not real living beings.


    ¡°[Target Level 45, no life characteristics, unable to kill for Spirituality Nourishment]¡±


    ¡°[Target Level 45¡­]¡± Li Yuan directly employed Divine Palace Exploration.


    These were similar to the three thousand Soaring Sky Peak Puppets he already controlled in terms of special attributes.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Peak Puppets?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, feeling astonished.


    Semi-Divine level puppets!


    The strength of each puppet, as it rose greatly in rank, soared in value because puppets feared neither death nor disobedience and could last for an extremely long time.


    A Semi-Divine Peak Puppet, thousands of Fangshen Crystals could not buy one.


    But the Dongfang Alliance Leader had left ten such puppets at Blue Star Base? How many semi-divines were there altogether on Blue Star?


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°These ten puppets are the guardian legion left by the master,¡± said Yun Lao somberly. ¡°When these ten join hands, along with the Planet Origin Force Formation, even if a Semi-Divine Limit Expert descends, they can assure victory¡­ Unless it is a Divine being, they essentially block anything.¡±


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°Is the master¡¯s ultimate defense strategy left for his home planet,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°Similar puppets number forty in total.¡±


    ¡°Ten are on Blue Star, ten on Heavenly Sea Star.¡±


    ¡°Twenty more are on Feixing.¡± Yun Lao looked at Li Yuan. ¡°The past master acknowledged them and authorized me, therefore guarding the planets was merely a trivial task for me¡­ But the current crisis lies crucially on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°The master has perished, leaving them ownerless.¡±


    ¡°Thus, you need to bring all twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets from Blue Star and Heavenly Sea Star to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°When you do, Feixing will have forty Semi-Divine Peak strength puppets joining the battle, which will significantly boost Feixing¡¯s defensive forces,¡± said Yun Lao.


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, his heart throbbing with excitement.


    Heavens!


    Forty Semi-Divine Peak combat forces? How many Semi-Divine Peak beings did the Seven Star Civilization have at present?


    Even in the Myriad Demons Civilization, the number of Semi-Divine Peak experts was only about a hundred.


    Instantly, Li Yuan felt the hope of holding the Demon Mountain Star Realm entrance surge.


    ¡°But, Li Yuan, remember this,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°These Semi-Divine Puppets have their flaws. Firstly, their realms are not high enough; they rely on their strength and speed to unleash such formidable combat power, hence they excel at direct combat but may easily be manipulated by enemies with high Law Comprehension.¡±


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    ¡°Secondly, they have an Energy Core inside them, constantly converting Heaven and Earth Origin Power for their use; their ¡®Energy Storage¡¯ is currently full, but this is a result of long-term accumulation, and their conversion rate does not match even one hundredth of a true semi-divine,¡± Yun Lao said. ¡°In semi-divine level confrontations, energy consumption is extremely rapid¡­ With extended time, their stored energy will be depleted, requiring the use of Divine Crystals as an energy source.¡±


    ¡°Forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, if they all consume Divine Crystals at the same time¡­ the expense is staggering.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, do not deploy them lightly,¡± Yun Lao advised. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Although consuming Divine Crystals was costly, it was definitely a last resort, a killing move.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Recognize the master.¡± With Yun Lao¡¯s help, Li Yuan acknowledged each Semi-Divine level Puppet one by one.


    Such powerful puppets were much more difficult to master than the thousands of Flying Heaven Realm Puppets.


    Fortunately, Li Yuan¡¯s soul was strong enough to endure it.


    After a full half-hour.


    All were acknowledged.


    ¡°Master.¡± The ten Semi-Divine Puppets simultaneously opened their eyes, each gaze somewhat numb.


    ¡°You have a Cave Heaven Treasure, gather these puppets,¡± Yun Lao said somberly. ¡°Hurry, you still have many tasks to perform.¡±


    ¡°More than an hour has passed since the master¡¯s Soul Lamp extinguished.¡±


    ¡°The longer the delay, the greater the probability of an attack from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Yun Lao said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded, then waved his hand, gathering the ten Semi-Divine Puppets into the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Immediately transforming into a stream of light, he flew along the corridor outward.


    Yun Lao¡¯s phantom remained standing in the grand hall until he sensed Li Yuan¡¯s departure disappear.


    Huu!


    An invisible wave swept past, and a three-meter-tall figure in a Golden Garment appeared,


    ¡°Yun Lao.¡± The figure in Golden Garment respectfully bowed.


    ¡°You¡¯re the only one left, are you confident you can hold out?¡± Yun Lao looked towards the elder in the Golden Garment.


    ¡°Yes!¡± declared the figure in the Golden Garment solemnly.

 Chapter 702: 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization

    Chapter 702: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization


    Refining ten Semi-Divine Peak Puppets,


    Li Yuan once again met with Bai Shan Semi-Divine about three hundred kilometers from the center of Xia Country Capital in the sky above the mountain range.


    ¡°Bai Shan predecessor.¡±


    Li Yuan said, ¡°According to the Alliance Leader¡¯s orders, you and Dantai Semi-Divine are to stay on Blue Star, while the other demigods will set off for Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Right,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded and sighed, ¡°Given the speed of their warships¡¯ flight, it will take them more than a month.¡±


    Whether it¡¯s Fourth Rank spaceships or demigods, their speed of flight within a planet pales in comparison to that in the starry sky¡­ But traversing the universe isn¡¯t a simple matter of flying in a straight line.


    ...


    It¡¯s much more complicated.


    ¡°More than a month¡¯s time ¨C if the Myriad Demons Civilization launches an attack immediately, I fear the great battle would have already concluded,¡± Li Yuan said with a sigh.


    ¡°Though that may be the case, they must still go. Perhaps the Myriad Demons Civilization has yet to be aware,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said. ¡°Anyway, without Dongfang here, we must gather most of the demigods at Feixing to hold our defense.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly. Concentrating the demigods was a necessary measure.


    ¡°Bai Shan predecessor,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°Although Blue Star has only the Wanhan Star Realm, a Third Level Star Realm, we must also be prepared. I have some Flying Heaven Level puppets, and I have ordered them to obey your commands.¡±


    ¡°Some Flying Heaven Level puppets?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded, not particularly concerned in his heart.


    After all, within the Seven Star Civilization, there were many Flying Heaven Level puppets, but most of them possessed only average strength and served merely as a supplement to defend the Second Level Star Realms.


    Li Yuan gestured with a wave of his hand.


    A swish~


    In an instant, centered around Li Yuan, the surrounding void filled densely with hundreds of silver-armored figures, each holding a weapon and exuding an impressive aura; their appearances were very similar¡­


    ¡°This? 800 of them?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s pupils contracted as his Divine Sense swept across to ascertain the exact number.


    Such a quantity was beyond his imagination.


    ¡°All these Flying Heaven puppets are at the Flying Heaven Peak level,¡± Li Yuan added.


    ¡°What? Flying Heaven Peak? All of them?¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine was thoroughly shocked.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, even the Seven Stars Treasury did not possess puppets of this strength level for the semi-divine to exchange.


    But Li Yuan? He produced eight hundred all at once? S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was truly astonishing.


    ¡°Remember this demigod¡¯s aura. For the next ten years, aside from myself, you all will obey his command,¡± Li Yuan instructed, pointing at Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the eight hundred puppets responded respectfully in unison, then they turned to Bai Shan Semi-Divine, ¡°Greetings, Semi-Divine.¡±


    The collective salute of eight hundred Flying Heaven Peak Puppets was quite shocking to Bai Shan Semi-Divine.


    Although there were six thousand Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star, less than three hundred had reached the Flying Heaven Peak.


    ¡°Li Yuan, this power you¡¯ve obtained at the base¡­¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    ¡°No,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°the power left by Dongfang Alliance Leader is different; this power is all my own.¡±


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine was secretly astonished.


    ¡°However, the power left by Dongfang Alliance Leader is stronger,¡± Li Yuan remarked with feeling.


    Indeed, the Dongfang Alliance Leader, in preparing for the entire civilization, had nearly made every consideration.


    ¡°Bai Shan predecessor, how you deploy these puppets is up to you,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Mhm, with the addition of this group of Flying Heaven Peak Puppets, the entrances and exits of the major Second Level Star Realms will be solid as metal,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. ¡°As long as no new Third Level Star Realms appear, we will surely hold.¡±


    ¡°I will be leaving Feixing immediately, and I entrust my family to your care, elder,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely take good care of them,¡± Bai Shan Semi-Divine replied. He knew Li Yuan¡¯s experiences and understood that Li Yuan held his family and close friends in high regard.


    Bai Shan Semi-Divine did not mind that Li Yuan had his own interests at heart.


    Everyone has their own interests; as a super strong being, one only needs to not exceed a certain limit.


    ¡­


    After parting with Bai Shan Semi-Divine, Li Yuan headed straight for the Lantis Continent.


    The entrance and exit of the Third Star Realm were situated on the Lantis Continent in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.


    Not long afterward.


    Whoosh! A streak of cyan light crossed the sky, rapidly approaching the flying Li Yuan.


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Liu Bing swiftly closed in.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded. As soon as he learned about his next tasks and responsibilities from Blue Star Base, he had sent a soul transmission to Liu Bing, telling her to catch up to him quickly.


    ¡°Little Ice, is everything arranged?¡± Li Yuan said through voice transmission.


    ¡°Yes, uncle and aunt are all settled; don¡¯t worry, big brother,¡± Liu Bing replied.


    ¡°Little Ice, time is pressing. Next, I need you to carry me, and we must travel through the various planets as quickly as possible,¡± Li Yuan said earnestly. Even using the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, his flying speed was far below Liu Bing¡¯s.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Boom!


    With terrifying speed, Liu Bing carried Li Yuan, swiftly cutting across the sky.


    ¡°Little Ice, your speed has increased?¡± Li Yuan was quite surprised.


    ¡°Yes, big brother, I am about to break through in my Law Comprehension, and my Escape Skill has improved,¡± Liu Bing said with pride. ¡°I estimate that within this year, I will reach the Seventh Stage High Rank.¡±


    Li Yuan inwardly marveled.


    No wonder she is the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, her cultivation speed is astounding. The more he interacted with her, the more Li Yuan could perceive the overwhelming power of this bloodline.


    A Law Comprehension reaching Seventh Stage Intermediate Rank is equivalent to the level of Semi-Divine Peak.


    To reach Seventh Stage High Rank would mean only one step away from Becoming Pseudo-God. As of now, within the Seven Star Civilization, probably no demigod has reached this level.


    ¡°Little Ice, I remember you once said that as your strength gradually increases and through the function of your bloodline, you would naturally come into contact with Space Law, right?¡± Li Yuan asked through voice transmission.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    While speeding through the sky, Liu Bing responded, ¡°According to my inherited memory, generally, when Law Comprehension reaches the Pseudo-God Level, or the Soul undergoes a Metamorphosis to the Pseudo-God Level, one might sense the presence of space fluctuations.¡±

 Chapter 703: 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization 2

    Chapter 703: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization 2


    ¡°But this is only a perception, just like those at the Flying Heaven Level can sense the mysterious fluctuations of heaven and earth, yet many in the Flying Heaven Realm are unable to condense the True Intent.¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God Powerhouses, who can truly step into the threshold of the Space Law, are also very few in number.¡±


    ¡°Space is the foundation of all things and spirits, therefore the Origin Great Dao of space truly dominates over the other seven major heaven and earth Origin Great Daos,¡± Liu Bing communicated telepathically.


    Li Yuan, having received many inheritances, naturally understood this.


    The entrance to the Space Law is extremely difficult, but just a slight comprehension¡­also yields terrifying might.


    ¡°However, once I become Semi-Divine, even if my Law Comprehension is slightly weak and has not reached the Pseudo-God Level (Seven Stages of Perfection), I will still sense the mystical fluctuations of space,¡± Liu Bing said.


    ...


    ¡°This is good news,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Big Brother, why are you suddenly inquiring about the Space Law?¡± Liu Bing asked curiously, ¡°Could it be, Big Brother, you have sensed the fluctuations of space?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about that later,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    Sensing the mystical fluctuations of space.


    Back then, when I first ventured into the Rob Sea Star Realm and condensed the rudimentary form of the True Meaning of Wind, I had already had a slight sensation¡­it¡¯s just too difficult to comprehend.


    Even after all these years, Li Yuan¡¯s strength has far surpassed that of the past, and his Law Comprehension has increased manifold, yet he still has only a vague perception.


    ¡°To this day, the Divine Palace interface has not given any prompt; clearly, not even a trace of the mystery has been comprehended,¡± Li Yuan lamented internally. ¡°Next, I need to prepare for the great battle.¡±


    ¡°Then, continue to cultivate, striving to completely transform Law Comprehension into strength, only by understanding the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ third style can my Spear Technique undergo another Transformation,¡± said Li Yuan, fire in his eyes.


    Although Semi-Divine puppets are important, the puppet has reached its limits in strength; meanwhile, my own potential is endless.


    However, even though I had stepped into the threshold of the Wind Law,


    the sheer Earth Law and Wind Law when applied alone are very weak in Might.


    I must integrate the Laws.


    But, integrating Laws is far more difficult than combining True Intents¡­over this period, although the Might of my Spear Technique has been continuously improving, the Mysteries of the two major Laws have not been perfectly integrated.


    ¡­


    When Li Yuan and Liu Bing swiftly headed to Feixing, many Demigods also began their journey toward Feixing from various planets.


    The entire Seven Star Civilization began deploying in all directions from top-down.


    This unusual change was quickly sensed by many spies from Foreign Civilizations embedded within the Seven Star Civilization, starting to transmit information back to their respective Civilizations.


    However, the vast majority of Foreign Civilizations were unclear about the situation of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Except for the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Wan Mo Star, as the stronghold of the Eastern Demon Deity, aside from his residence here, also housed a large number of Demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    After all, the closer one is to a deity during cultivation, the higher the likelihood of receiving guidance and the granting of treasures.


    Demigods held much esteem within the Myriad Demons Civilization, and most would build their own temples.


    Ye An Semi Divine, recognized as the ¡®Number One Demigod¡¯ within the Myriad Demons Civilization, had impressive strength. Thus, the residence he built was naturally extremely luxurious and spacious, located within one of the mysterious temples.


    Here, was the place where Ye An Semi Divine secluded himself for cultivation, inaccessible on normal days except by him.


    ¡°Ah~~¡± Ye An Semi Divine was writhing on the bed, his face laden with pain, and his body¡¯s outer layer of skin even appeared to seep droplets of blood.


    Too painful!


    It was an agony of soul tearing.


    ¡°Ah~¡± Even with Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s strong willpower, he could not help but let out bursts of low roars.


    Hissing sounds¡ªhis soul aura was continuously weakening, almost as if it was undergoing successive soul attacks¡­


    After a long while.


    Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s soul aura finally stabilized, and his facial expression also eased.


    ¡°I¡­ am free¡­to report to¡­¡± A series of messages flashed across his mind.


    Another moment passed.


    ¡°Phew.¡± Ye An Semi Divine eventually opened his eyes and sat up, murmuring to himself, ¡°I have regained my freedom? I have regained my freedom! ?? I am Ye An Semi Divine, once controlled by the Soul of Dongfang Ji of the Seven Star Civilization, now I am free.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, it can be deduced, Dongfang Ji is dead.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is dead, the biggest obstacle preventing the Eastern Demons Civilization from invading the Seven Star Civilization is gone,¡± Ye An Semi Divine murmured to himself, reinforcing the numerous messages.


    Soon afterward.


    Having continuously consumed several Soul Treasures, Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s soul aura slightly recovered to the Flying Heaven Peak Level, and he transformed into a stream of light, rapidly heading toward the Myriad Demons Hall.


    At the same time, he also transmitted his message to the Eastern Demon Deity.


    He had important matters to report. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    As the number one Demigod of civilisation and also emphasizing the urgency, it was quite easy for Ye An Semi Divine to seek an audience with the Eastern Demon Deity.


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall.


    ¡°Ye An, what happened to your soul aura?¡± the Demon Deity asked in shock, observing Ye An Semi Divine:¡±Were you attacked?¡±


    How could Ye An Semi Divine sustain such serious soul injuries within Wan Mo Star?


    ¡°Reporting to the deity.¡±


    ¡°Ye An admits guilt, hoping the deity will decree punishment,¡± Ye An Semi Divine knelt on the ground and spoke lowly: ¡°Previously, I was continuously controlled by the Soul of Dongfang Ji from the Seven Star Civilization and did many things harmful to the civilization; I am deserving of death.¡±


    As soon as he spoke, it left the Eastern Demon Deity in astonishment.


    Soul control?


    But a being like the Eastern Demon Deity reacted even faster.


    Boom!


    With a thought from the Eastern Demon Deity, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall, completely covering Ye An Semi Divine as well.


    It pinned Ye An Semi Divine down, rendering him immobile.


    As cultivation progressed to later stages, breaking through to higher realms mostly amounted to early peerless geniuses, thus, climbing ranks through combat became increasingly difficult.


    Like Ye An Semi Divine, possessing the strength of the Semi-Divine limit, facing a Pseudo-God Powerhouse, he virtually had no chance to resist.

 Chapter 704: 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization_3

    Chapter 704: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization_3


    The voice of the East Demon Deity turned frosty, ¡°Ye An, do not resist, I must thoroughly investigate the depths of your soul.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ye An Semi Divine knelt on the ground, completely relinquishing control of his own soul, allowing the other to probe.


    Under normal circumstances, a semi divine would never be willing to do such a thing.


    Just a minor error from a deity could potentially cause one¡¯s soul to completely collapse.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°What a clever method of soul control.¡± The East Demon Deity kept probing, and finally found traces of soul imprint dispersion deep within Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s soul.


    ...


    Rustle~


    The East Demon Deity¡¯s Inquiry quickly retreated, but that terrifying oppression still lingered, suppressing Ye An Semi Divine.


    ¡°Ye An! You were actually under soul control!¡± The voice of the East Demon Deity remained frosty, faintly tinged with rage.


    He was indeed angry, and there was also a trace of fear.


    After all, he had to trust Ye An Semi Divine previously, so many tasks were handled by him, and many secrets of the civilization were known¡­ To think they had been surreptitiously under soul control?


    How many secrets could that have leaked?


    ¡°Forgive my anger, Divine.¡± Ye An Semi Divine clenched his teeth, his eyes reflecting a longing, ¡°I have failed your great kindness, I deserve death, but before I die, I wish to make a final contribution for our civilization.¡±


    ¡°Speak,¡± the East Demon Deity stared at Ye An Semi Divine.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°I was in the Feixing great war over a hundred years ago when Dongfang Ji¡­¡±


    ¡°Just recently, my soul imprint suddenly began to collapse,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said somberly, ¡°I am almost certain that it was because of Dongfang Ji¡¯s soul aura suddenly dispersing, losing control over me¡­ I suspect he has perished.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji perished?¡± The eyes of the East Demon Deity flickered, and through the recent Inquiry, he could mostly confirm that Ye An Semi Divine had been freed from soul control, which gave rise to many speculations.


    Now, even more so as he heard it directly from Ye An Semi Divine.


    However, it was too improbable.


    Having fought against Dongfang Ji for so many years, even going personally to kill him after hearing he was venturing in the Starry Sky Space Rift, and failing in the end.


    He knew how formidable Dongfang Ji was.


    How could such an exceptional monster just suddenly perish?


    ¡°Ye An! Are you trying to deceive me? To lure Myriad Demons Civilization into attacking the Seven Star Civilization?¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes turned icy, ¡°You were under soul control, now being free, why not carefully hide this affair of the soul? By revealing this¡­ aren¡¯t you afraid I could kill you in a fit of rage?¡±


    The East Demon Deity did not quite believe it deep down.


    ¡°Divine.¡±


    ¡°I would never dare deceive you, I am indeed no longer under soul control; I believe Divine can deduce that upon Inquiry,¡± Ye An Semi Divine urgently stated, his eyes full of vengeful light, ¡°I come to report mainly out of hatred! I was enslaved, and I despise Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Dongfang Ji enslaving me, perhaps my Law Comprehension might have already reached the Seven Stages of Perfection.¡±


    ¡°But now that Dongfang Ji is dead, I wish more to exterminate the Seven Star Civilization!! To utterly avenge myself. I can¡¯t do it alone; only you, Divine, can accomplish this.¡±


    Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s body trembled, overwhelmed with excitement.


    ¡°Wrong!¡± sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Even if you want to seek revenge, there¡¯s no need to put yourself in such a perilous situation.¡± The Myriad Demons Divine remained calm, ¡°You could have secretly guided me, slowly revealing the truth.¡±


    ¡°Divine, if I were to slowly tell you in secret, it would be too late,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said urgently, ¡°Dongfang Ji has perished, and now the Seven Star Civilization is certainly not prepared for war¡­ Attacking right now would surely catch them off guard.¡±


    ¡°If we delay, waiting several months, until they gather a significant number of semi divines to the Myriad Demons Star Realm, it would then be difficult to attack.¡±


    ¡°The most important are Li Yuan and Fang Hai,¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke, ¡°Their strengths are increasing rapidly; if we wait a few more years before attacking, I fear they will have grown into the second and third Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°By then, it truly becomes hopeless for me to seek revenge.¡± Ye An Semi Divine suddenly kowtowed repeatedly, ¡°I hope Divine sees clearly.¡±


    ¡°I, Ye An, do not fear death; I only seek revenge!!¡±


    ¡°For the sake of the entire civilization, please make a quick decision, Divine.¡± Ye An Semi Divine spoke earnestly.


    The East Demon Deity stared at Ye An Semi Divine.


    He kept observing him, sensing the fluctuations in his soul¡­ It seemed to genuinely come from the heart.


    What he said, was very likely the truth.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji¡¯s death cannot be fully confirmed,¡± the East Demon Deity concluded internally, ¡°But Ye An¡¯s actions should stem from his own will.¡±


    After thinking it through.


    ¡°Ye An!¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s voice was icy, ¡°According to the laws left by the True Gods of Myriad Demons, those controlled by an Alien Race, with involuntary hearts, once they regain freedom and manage to report¡­ are innocent.¡±


    ¡°Now, I will continue to detain you.¡±


    ¡°If it eventually proves your words are true, then I will release you again. Not only will you be innocent, but you will also have merit,¡± spoke the East Demon Deity, ¡°At that time, with Myriad Demons Civilization having conquered the Seven Star Civilization¡­ you will even have the opportunity to venture to the Nine Mountains World of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Divine.¡± Ye An Semi Divine exclaimed eagerly:


    ¡°I only wish to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°To eradicate them all!!¡±


    ¡­


    Having received the report from Ye An Semi Divine.


    The East Demon Deity hesitated no longer, immediately ordering the Inquiry of information in the Seven Star Civilization, searching for clues.


    ¡°Spare no expense!¡±


    ¡°Contact the semi divines within the Seven Star Civilization who provided us with information before, go contact them,¡± the East Demon Deity suppressed his excitement and gave the direct command, ¡°I need to know the latest situation of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    Even though it was already 80% confirmed.


    But the East Demon Deity still could not afford to be careless.


    Soon thereafter, the East Demon Deity began receiving a large amount of information and started continuously analyzing useful data.

 Chapter 705: 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization_4

    Chapter 705: Chapter 378 Action! Myriad Demons Civilization_4


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch replaced, Fang Hai becomes the Alliance Hierarch? Li Yuan as Vice Alliance Hierarch?¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji never showed up?¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has just started giving orders on various major planets, it seems they are secretly carrying out a relocation plan?¡± the Eastern Demon Deity mused as he reviewed the intelligence.


    He stood in the void, his gaze flickering: ¡°This intelligence¡­ could it be that Dongfang Ji is truly dead?¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Myriad Demons Hall.


    ...


    Buzz~ Buzz~ A large amount of light converged, forming two figures that exuded a mysterious aura.


    ¡°East Demon, you just sent us a message that Dongfang Ji is really dead?¡± Qiong Jin Deity asked urgently, ¡°Where did you get this news?¡±


    ¡°It was my Ye An Semi Divine¡­¡± the Eastern Demon Deity quickly explained everything he knew.


    Although he did not like Qiong Jin Deity, the matter concerned the rise and fall of the entire civilization, so he could not afford to be careless.


    After Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity had listened,


    ¡°Could this be a trap set by Dongfang Ji?¡± Qiong Jin Deity frowned, ¡°If he really has fallen, the top echelon of the Seven Star Civilization wouldn¡¯t need to act so hastily. They should hide this news.¡±


    ¡°Now, although they have not mentioned Dongfang Ji¡¯s demise, even their Semi-Divine beings can¡¯t confirm it¡­ But their large-scale relocation operation is enough to indicate a major internal issue,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said.


    ¡°It¡¯s normal for them to take action,¡± Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°Dongfang Ji¡¯s control over Ye An is certainly known to the Seven Star Civilization¡­ They would worry that we might learn of the situation through Ye An and then attack.¡±


    ¡°Without Dongfang Ji, how could their remaining Semidivine beings withstand us? Naturally, they would consider a large relocation plan,¡± said Bei Yue Deity.


    Qiong Jin Deity frowned.


    What Bei Yue Deity said made sense, but he still felt that something was amiss.


    ¡°Furthermore,¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead, there¡¯s no need for him to set a trap,¡± Bei Yue Deity shook his head, ¡°With Dongfang Ji around, just wait another few decades or a century, by then Li Yuan and Fang Hai are fully risen, their three Divine beings, we simply wouldn¡¯t be able to shake¡­ That¡¯s also why we were considering a peace treaty.¡±


    Clearly, Bei Yue Deity believed Dongfang Ji had fallen.


    ¡°East Demon, as the leader of our civilization, what do you think?¡± Qiong Jin Deity said.


    ¡°Based on the existing signs, Dongfang Ji has fallen,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity spoke softly, ¡°The probability of Dongfang Ji setting a trap, exists as well!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s about whether we dare to gamble.¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Both Divine beings pondered,


    A gamble?


    ¡°The previous proposal for peace was rejected by the Seven Star Civilization,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said slowly. ¡°If we don¡¯t gamble, then whether Dongfang Ji is dead or the Seven Star Civilization continues to grow stronger, once Li Yuan and Fang Hai ascend to God, our hope is completely lost.¡±


    ¡°Even then, we would have to face the more brutal warfare from the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s retaliation,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly.


    A glint of light flashed in the eyes of both Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity, clearly aware of the enmity between their own and the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°If we gamble!¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead, then, we¡¯ll suffer heavy losses, but only the semidivine will die.¡± The Eastern Demon Deity spoke somberly, ¡°No matter how many die, it won¡¯t affect the three of us.¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji really is dead.¡±


    ¡°Taking advantage of the lack of convergence of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divine, Feixing¡¯s defenses being unprecedentedly weak, and Fang Hai and Li Yuan not yet fully matured, this would be the best opportunity,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said with an icy gaze. ¡°According to our intelligence, the passage to the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is in Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Even if we can¡¯t annihilate the Seven Star Civilization, conquering Feixing should not be difficult¡­¡±


    ¡°Then, we can send a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors and Semidivine into the Nine Mountains and Nine Realms, to seize treasures and potentially existing inheritances.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, this could advance us further,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly. ¡°What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s start the war,¡± Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°We must act quickly, can¡¯t give the Seven Star Civilization more time to react.¡±


    ¡°Start the war.¡±


    ¡°Not aiming to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization, just to send a group of Semidivine into the Nine Mountains World,¡± Qiong Jin Deity likewise said, he being closest to his lifespan¡¯s limit, his heart was the most desirous.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Qiong Jin, then please recall your Direct Disciple ¡®Sha Kun¡¯,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity revealed a sinister smile. ¡°I know he has broken through, Ascend to God is imminent, let him lead the Semidivine army, for a decisive battle.¡±

    Chapter 706: Chapter 379: The Coming War


    ¡°East Demon, how did you know Sha Kun is my Direct Disciple?¡± a glimmer of light flashed through Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s eyes.


    He felt very shocked.


    In the publicly known intelligence of the Myriad Demons Civilization, none of their three great deities had taken any disciples¡ªafter all, the standards for divine beings to take disciples were quite high, with even Semi-Divine Peak Experts hardly entering their eyes.


    Secondly, the paths of cultivation had to be the same.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine, a somewhat famous Semi-Divine being in the current era of the Myriad Demons Civilization, was second only to Ye An Semi-Divine in reputation, and in terms of strength, could also be considered a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.


    Because of a grudge with the Eastern Demon Deity, Qiong Jin Deity had taken him as a disciple but had never leaked this news.


    ...


    Not long ago, Sha Kun Semi-Divine had a breakthrough, his Law Comprehension finally reaching the Seven Stages of Perfection Level, filling Qiong Jin Deity with immense joy. He believed all this was a secret, known to no one.


    How could he not be shocked that the Eastern Demon Deity knew it all clearly?


    ¡°Qiong Jin,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°I am the leader of a civilization. Anything I wish to know within our civilization is hardly kept from me.¡±


    ¡°Hmph! Big talk,¡± Qiong Jin Deity scoffed, ¡°Ye An Semi-Divine was controlled by Soul Control, how come you never noticed?¡±


    The Eastern Demon Deity frowned.


    This touched a sore spot for him; indeed, the fact that Ye An Semi-Divine was controlled had been an embarrassment to the always proud deity.


    ¡°Stop arguing, both of you.¡±


    ¡°Now that we have decided to wage war against the Seven Star Civilization, shouldn¡¯t we unite our efforts instead of quarreling at this time?¡± said Bei Yue Deity, ¡°Qiong Jin, has Sha Kun Semi-Divine truly had a breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°Yes, he has always been wandering through the numerous perilous areas in the Starry Sky, searching for opportunities, and had a breakthrough not long ago,¡± Qiong Jin Deity nodded, ¡°But he has been cultivating for over three hundred years and has higher aspirations in his heart, so he hasn¡¯t been in a hurry to Ascend to God.¡±


    ¡°Impressive,¡± Bei Yue Deity, upon receiving confirmation, said excitedly, ¡°With Law Comprehension reaching the Pseudo-God Level, his strength will certainly increase substantially. He should surpass the Semi-Divine Limit, nearly reaching the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    The Semi-Divine Limit is the limit that a Semi-Divine Expert can normally attain under conventional circumstances.


    And both the Seven Star Veins and Pseudo-God Level Law Comprehension are beyond this limit. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°He still can¡¯t be considered invincible among semi-gods, as it¡¯s only his Law Comprehension that made a breakthrough; his Star Meridian is not that strong, only a Six Star Pulse,¡± Qiong Jin Deity explained.


    ¡°Enough, his strength is such that he can easily withstand being besieged by hundreds of demi-gods,¡± Bei Yue Deity said with a smile, ¡°With him leading the army, plus dozens of Semi-Divine Peak Experts and hundreds of ordinary demi-gods¡­ we will surely be able to conquer the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Flying Star in one fell swoop.¡±


    Clearly, Bei Yue Deity greatly hoped for Sha Kun¡¯s participation in the war.


    ¡°I can¡¯t force him, I must ask his opinion,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said, ¡°Besides, even if he is willing to join the war, he is still beyond the Plane in the Starry Sky¡­ It will take half a month¡¯s time for him to return.¡±


    Although Qiong Jin Deity was dissatisfied with the Eastern Demon Deity, he was still very polite to Bei Yue Deity.


    Traveling through the gaps in the Starry Sky requires considerable time, even with numerous ¡®Star Gates¡¯ or wormholes to assist with traversing the distances.


    ¡°Half a month? That¡¯s too long,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity frowned.


    Speed is of the essence in war, and in his view, it would be best to gather a large number of demi-gods within a few days to end the war swiftly.


    ¡°Not slow at all.¡±


    ¡°East Demon, many demi-gods within our civilization are out adventuring; just gathering them will take a considerable amount of time,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°Moreover, are you planning to just kill your way through?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± asked the Eastern Demon Deity, puzzled.


    ¡°Just as you said, this could also be a trap set by Dongfang Ji,¡± Bei Yue Deity said, ¡°Therefore, we could test the waters once or twice¡­ first is to see if it¡¯s a trap.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, to gauge the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Defense methods, then plan our countermeasures accordingly.¡±


    ¡°Our number of demi-gods far exceeds that of the Seven Star Civilization, we can afford the attrition; even if we trade three for one, we could wear out all the demi-gods of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°In the end, when Sha Kun Semi-Divine returns, we will carry out the final battle,¡± Bei Yue Deity continued, ¡°Ideally, we would kill Fang Hai and Li Yuan in one fell swoop, as they are the biggest threats of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji were to die, and then we killed those two, our Myriad Demons Civilization would have the opportunity to occupy the Seven Star Civilization forever¡­ If we can¡¯t kill those two, we can only take some advantages.¡±


    ¡°Agreeable,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity nodded, finding Bei Yue Deity¡¯s reasoning sound.


    War should be approached with caution.


    From then on, the three great deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization set three war goals, from the least to the most important.


    Firstly, to confirm whether Dongfang Ji is alive through a probing attempt.


    Secondly, if unable to kill Li Yuan and Fang Hai, then to strive for the occupation of the Flying Star, sending a large number of Flying Heaven Realm and demi-gods unharmed into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.


    Thirdly, to exterminate Fang Hai and Li Yuan, completely occupying the Seven Star Civilization.


    After the three deities discussed the details,


    ¡°I¡¯ll go persuade Sha Kun Semi-Divine; he should come back,¡± said Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡­


    In reality, the vast majority of areas in the Mortal Domain are what¡¯s referred to as ¡®Starry Sky Space Rifts¡¯.


    Most of these areas are quite inhospitable, and the planets within the Starry Sky Space Rifts are mostly Dead Silence planets, which are even less likely to foster life¡­ It usually takes reaching the demi-god level to have sufficient capability to venture and traverse through the Starry Sky Space Rifts.


    Within the Dimensional Plane, due to the presence of the Origin Plane, the space is stable, and it¡¯s difficult for demi-gods to travel between different planets.


    However, in the regions of the Starry Sky Rifts, Space Rifts frequently appear, and Star Gates and wormholes that can cross the Starry Sky are everywhere.


    This makes it more convenient for demi-gods to travel through the Starry Sky.


    But it¡¯s also more dangerous.


    In a part of the Starry Sky quite distant from the Myriad Demons Civilization, there lies an incredibly vast ice planet.


    A million miles away from the planet, on a huge rock orbiting the planet, the celestial body is crisscrossed with ravines.

 Chapter 707: 379 War is Coming_2

    Chapter 707: Chapter 379 War is Coming_2


    A dark canyon.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh! An invisible fluctuation was rhythmically pulsing from the center of the canyon, causing continuous shockwaves that extended outward, where a hazy yellowish light could be discerned deep within the canyon.


    In this glowing light, a figure about five meters tall, seemingly made of metal, sat in a black armor.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Hmm?¡± The figure in black armor opened its eyes and waved his hand, immediately sending out a stream of light that formed a vast screen in front of him.


    ...


    A mysterious figure appeared on the screen.


    ¡°Sha Kun,¡± Qiong Jin Deity spoke through the screen, looking at his direct disciple.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine responded respectfully.


    ¡°Has the news of your breakthrough been shared with others?¡± Qiong Jin Deity asked in a deep voice, ¡°Also, who else knows about our mentor-disciple relationship?¡±


    ¡°Leak my information?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine was startled, ¡°Teacher, very few people know, and among those who know about my breakthrough, only those few brothers in life and death¡­ They should all keep it secret.¡±


    ¡°How did the Eastern Demon Deity learn of it then?¡± Qiong Jin Deity shook his head.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine was slightly alarmed.


    ¡°Fine, that¡¯s not the point,¡± Qiong Jin Deity changed the topic, ¡°I¡¯ve contacted you because of another matter.¡±


    Quickly,


    Qiong Jin Deity shared the results of the discussions among the three deities with him.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji died?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine held his breath, somewhat in disbelief, ¡°How is that possible?¡±


    He truly found it hard to believe.


    Dongfang Ji, in his heart, was a peerless figure comparable to a deity¡­ Even though he had reached the Pseudo-God Level of Law Comprehension, he had never thought of contending with Dongfang Ji.


    They were not on the same level.


    ¡°Very likely,¡± Qiong Jin Deity stated, ¡°Whether you wish to participate in the battle, decide for yourself¡­ If you cultivate step by step in the Flying Heaven Realm, waking your Six Star Pulse, the chance of awakening the Seven Star Veins before lighting the Divine Fire, is very slim.¡±


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine nodded slightly; he was hesitant to break through immediately because he wanted to advance his Star Meridian further.


    But, the difficulty was too high.


    Even a breakthrough in Law Comprehension did not give him any hope.


    ¡°However, if you can enter the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, it¡¯s possible,¡± Qiong Jin Deity spoke in a low voice, ¡°You are my disciple, but I won¡¯t force you; the path of cultivation is yours alone.¡±


    ¡°If you participate, there is a risk to your life.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, decide for yourself.¡±


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes flickered, pondering for a long time.


    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m willing to risk it,¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine spoke gravely, ¡°Once I ascend to godhood, my foundation will be set, even if I can¡¯t awaken the Seven Star Veins, just awakening a single Nine Layers Star Vein would be worth it.¡±


    ¡°If I can awaken a Nine Layers Star Vein and assist it with the Nine Layer Star Technique, my chances of becoming a True God will significantly increase.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Qiong Jin Deity spoke, ¡°Then come back as soon as possible.¡±


    Not long after,


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine transformed into a streak of light and swiftly left the starry sky.


    ¡­


    ¡°All-out alert across all major planets in the Myriad Demons Civilization territories,¡± the Myriad Demons Civilization quickly issued the order.


    Although they were the aggressors, besides the Seven Star Civilization, the Myriad Demons Civilization had other enemies and thus had to be vigilant.


    ¡°Gather the Demigods.¡±


    ¡°All Demigods, immediately through ¡®Star Realm Passage,¡¯ go to the specified planets, keep it secret! Violators will be executed.¡±


    ¡°Retrieve the Divine Artifacts.¡±


    ¡°Prepare the Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°No need to ask for reasons, just obey the orders.¡± Command after command was issued, turning the entire Myriad Demons Civilization into a huge war machine that was fully operational from top to bottom.


    ¡­


    Internal migration preparations within the Seven Star Civilization, a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors mobilized.


    The war preparations of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡­ Despite all the actions of the two civilizations being kept secret and desperately hidden,


    the scale of the mobilization was too large, making it impossible to keep all the news hidden.


    Especially to some forces that were highly concerned with both civilizations.


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, Nine Clouds Sect.


    This was one of the most powerful sects in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and currently its leading sect.


    Above the mountains of the sect¡¯s holy land were layers of peculiar cloud vortexes with diameters exceeding a thousand kilometers; within which plenty of suspended palaces could be seen, forming the Nine Clouds Realm.


    Inside one of the grand halls in the Nine Clouds Realm.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization has started a comprehensive migration plan? It seems like they anticipate their entire civilization to fall into warfare,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God, clad in a black robe, remarked while looking at two pieces of intelligence.


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization is also mobilizing its army, gathering Demigods?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that the Myriad Demons Civilization wants to invade the Seven Star Civilization again?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God quickly concluded, ¡°And the Seven Star Civilization believes it cannot hold them off?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head, ¡°According to the Elder Chi Yan, even the Initial Rank Pseudo-God powerhouses are no match for Dongfang Ji¡­ no matter how many Demigods the Myriad Demons Civilization has, they wouldn¡¯t be a match for Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°If Dongfang Ji breaks through, even if he can¡¯t match me, he would be very close,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God speculated.


    He had been cultivating for over two thousand years and was already at the peak of the Pseudo-God Level.


    How long had Dongfang Ji been cultivating?


    The gap between Demi-God, Pseudo-God, and major realms is hard to bridge with sheer numbers. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Even using our Immortal Ruins Civilization¡¯s strongest war formation, ¡®Void Qianyuan Formation,¡¯ which combines several hundred Demigods into one, achieving only Pseudo-God Level strength¡­ defeating Dongfang Ji would still be difficult,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God continued, shaking his head.


    He was very familiar with Dongfang Ji.


    Many Demigods from the Immortal Ruins Civilization had come into contact with Dongfang Ji in the starry sky space rifts.


    Without exception, Anyone who dared provoke him met their demise.


    ¡°The logic I understand, after battling with Dongfang Ji for so long, the Myriad Demons and Dongfang Ji would understand as well,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God pondered, ¡°But there are still signs of war¡­ That only means one thing.¡±

 Chapter 708: 379: The Coming War_3

    Chapter 708: Chapter 379: The Coming War_3


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is not present!¡±


    ¡°Did Dongfang Ji perish? Or is Dongfang Ji trapped somewhere, unable to return to the Seven Star Civilization?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God thought to himself, a new thought suddenly emerging: ¡°Or perhaps, is Dongfang Ji laying out a plan?¡±


    Separated by such a distance, with limited intelligence, Yan Lin Semi-Divine could only guess, unable to confirm which possibility was more likely.


    ¡°Pass down the order.¡±


    ¡°Keep a close watch on the conflict between the Myriad Demons Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization,¡± instructed Yan Lin Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ...


    ¡­


    Regarding the Myriad Demons Civilization, they were not the only power on the side of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    ¡°Could the Myriad Demons Civilization truly be gearing up for war again? Do they have some information?¡±


    Within the Tianliang Civilization, a large group of demigods led by ¡®Jin Liang Semi-Divine¡¯ also received the news swiftly.


    Their relationship with the Myriad Demons Civilization was close.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Keep monitoring.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization hasn¡¯t called us to join the war yet,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said, ¡°we cannot act as cannon fodder either. How many demigods do we have in our entire civilization?¡±


    ¡°Keep a close watch.¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, we will apply to join the war with the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Jin Liang Semi-Divine said.


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Let the Myriad Demons Civilization take the lead; we will assess the situation. Order that our Second Level Star Realms and Third Level Star Realms bordering the Seven Star Civilization not engage in any provocative actions in the near future.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Seven Star Civilization, on Black Dragon Star.


    In a void obscured by clouds and mist, stood a rock tower, unmodern in its architecture, filled with an ancient aura.


    This stone tower, soaring over three hundred meters high, was like a mountain of stone, a holy site of Black Dragon Star.


    ¡°Yan Ming Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°among these Divine Artifacts, have you chosen any?¡±


    In front of Li Yuan floated a small temple, but inside the temple was a different world altogether, suspended with artifacts emitting powerful auras.


    It was the Divine Artifact Chamber.


    Li Yuan had left Blue Star for more than a day, first going to Feixing to collect Star Technique World, the Divine Artifact Chamber, and the All-Gods Inheritance Cave.


    After that, he tried to subdue the suppressed alien-race demigods at their peak¡­ all attempts failing.


    This was within Li Yuan¡¯s expectations.


    Without time for discouragement, Li Yuan immediately proceeded to Heavenly Sea Star to collect another ten Semi-Divine Peak Puppets.


    Finally, he began traveling to various planets, allowing the remaining demigods to each select two Divine Artifacts.


    In the past.


    Ordinary demigods within the Seven Star Civilization, due to their lack of wealth and treasures, many did not possess demigods. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This war, for them, was also an opportunity.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch, I¡¯ll take these two Divine Artifacts,¡± said a man in a fiery red robe not far away.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! With a thought from Li Yuan, two streams of light flew out as Divine Artifacts, landing in front of Yan Ming Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Thank you, Vice Alliance Hierarch,¡± Yan Ming Semi-Divine said, bowing slightly.


    ¡°To give thanks, thank Dongfang Alliance Leader,¡± Li Yuan said with a light sigh, ¡°all of this is what Dongfang Alliance Leader left behind.¡±


    Only after truly taking control of the Divine Artifact Chamber, the All-Gods Inheritance Cave, and so on¡­ did Li Yuan realize what kind of foundation Dongfang Ji had left for the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°Yan Ming Semi-Divine,¡±


    ¡°Among the demigods guarding Black Dragon Star, you are the strongest,¡± Li Yuan said solemnly, ¡°besides two Divine Artifacts, I¡¯ll also leave a group of Flying Heaven Puppets for you to command, to help you safeguard Black Dragon Star.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Li Yuan¡¯s hand, the void immediately revealed densely packed hundreds of silhouettes.


    ¡°Four hundred Flying Heaven Puppets?¡± Yan Ming Semi-Divine was surprised.


    ¡°The might of these puppets, each lies at the peak of the Flying Heaven level,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°they will follow your commands¡­ Black Dragon Star is in your hands.¡±


    A total of 3000 Flying Heaven Puppets.


    On Blue Star and Heavenly Sea Star, Li Yuan left 800 Flying Heaven Puppets each, they were the two most important planets.


    The other four planets were each allocated 300-400 Flying Heaven Puppets.


    ¡°Understood, Yan Ming will not fail the trust placed in me,¡± Yan Ming Semi-Divine said earnestly.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The demigods left guarding the major planets¡­ were all considered by Fang Hai and Cloud Elder to have extremely low probabilities of being spies after their repeated deliberation.


    Like the Seven Demigods of Blue Star, they chose two from Xia Country to stay behind.


    Therefore, Li Yuan dared to entrust them confidently with the Divine Artifacts and so many Flying Heaven Puppets.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan soared into the sky, and a huge green light quickly burst through the clouds, carrying him far away.


    ¡°That¡¯s a terrifying speed. That must be Li Yuan¡¯s Flying Serpent Spirit Beast,¡± muttered the Demigod Yan Ming. ¡°I hope Feixing can hold out.¡±


    ¡­


    In the void, Liu Bing was rushing to Lantie Star with Li Yuan.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, we¡¯ve received covert intelligence. The Myriad Demons Civilization has confirmed the news and is massively gathering Demigods in preparation for the invasion,¡± Fang Hai communicated directly to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Has it leaked?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Although he had expected a battle was likely, when war was indeed coming, his heart could not help but tighten.


    The Demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization outnumbered his own side by more than tenfold.


    ¡°According to the information we have, the scale of the Flying Heaven Realm forces mobilized by the Myriad Demons Civilization isn¡¯t very large,¡± continued Fang Hai. ¡°It is estimated that they will focus their Demigods to launch a fierce attack on Feixing.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve already instructed the Semidivine Mu Ji and the others to wait at the Star Realm¡¯s entrance. I¡¯ll immediately head back to Feixing once I¡¯ve delivered the Divine Artifacts,¡± Li Yuan communicated back.


    In terms of direct combat strength, Li Yuan was not exceptionally strong at present, after all, his cultivation time was short, and he was only in the Flying Heaven Realm.


    But in a battle such as this.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack was the strongest among the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, surpassing even the Lant Semi-Divine and Fang Hai.


    ¡°Spear Technique.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s so difficult to merge the two Laws,¡± Li Yuan muttered while seemingly flying on his way; in reality, he was constantly deducing the Mysteries of the Laws.


    ¡­


    Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had gone by.


    On Feixing, apart from the six Third Level Star Realms, which still each had one Initial Rank Demigod and a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors to assist in their defense.


    The original scattered Demigods from various parts of Feixing had all gathered near the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    Whoosh!


    A green streak of light flew across the sky and landed on top of a majestic mountain.


    ¡°It¡¯s Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan,¡± the large group of Demigods stationed in this area sensed his arrival and looked toward the black silhouette on the mountain peak.


    Whoosh!


    Another streak of light darted across and quickly arrived beside Li Yuan.


    ¡°Principal,¡± greeted Li Yuan as he looked at the newcomer.


    ¡°All set?¡± Fang Hai asked.


    ¡°Yes, the Demigods of each major star have received their Divine Artifacts,¡± confirmed Li Yuan with gravity.


    Although the Demigods had not had the Divine Artifacts for long and it was difficult to say whether they could unleash their full might, the overall strength had significantly increased nonetheless.


    ¡°Good,¡± said Fang Hai with relief in his eyes.


    ¡°Principal, is that the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm?¡± Li Yuan looked into the distance.


    He saw a nearly hundred-kilometer wide dark passageway on the vast wasteland, inscrutable, as if the tunnel had torn through space and existed on a different spatial plane than the surrounding landscape.


    The depths of the passage shone with multicolored light, giving it an extremely mystical appearance.


    And around this tunnel were peculiar mountains, encircling it, hundreds of peaks in total.


    ¡°Yes,¡± nodded Fang Hai. ¡°The Demon Mountain Star Realm is incredibly vast, with a diameter exceeding one hundred thousand kilometers and containing many dangers. Since the war on Feixing, neither we nor the Myriad Demons Civilization have stationed Demigods in Demon Mountain Star Realm¡­ we each guard the entrances to our respective Star Realms.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, for this information was not a secret.


    However, this was his first time here.


    ¡°The Origin Power Array laid down by the teacher covers three hundred kilometers around. Its core is controlled by the Lant Semi-Divine, whose Soul Cultivation Level is the strongest and his realm is exceedingly high,¡± said Fang Hai. ¡°Once the Myriad Demons Civilization dares to invade, we will immediately activate the Array.¡±


    ¡°Then, without breaking the Array, it would be very difficult for the Demigods of Myriad Demons Civilization to leave this area,¡± Fang Hai solemnly stated.


    ¡°I can feel it,¡± Li Yuan sensed that beneath the seemingly calm wasteland, a terrifying force lay hidden, as if coming from the vastness of the earth and sky.


    This was the Origin Power Array.


    The formation that Li Yuan encountered at Lantie Star was clearly inferior to this one.


    ¡°This is the Array Command.¡± Fang Hai flipped his hand, revealing two tokens in his palm. ¡°Refine them, and you¡¯ll be able to wield part of the Array¡¯s power during the battle, summoning an Origin Power Dharma Body or enhancing yourself with the Array¡¯s power¡­ Above all, you must protect yourself.¡±


    ¡°I have only one order for you.¡±


    ¡°Survive! Make it through.¡± Fang Hai looked intently at Li Yuan. ¡°You and your Spirit Beast are our biggest reliance in the Seven Star Civilization¡­ as long as you live, even if Feixing falls, we¡¯ll have a day when the Seven Star Civilization can counterattack.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Soon after, Fang Hai left, and Li Yuan gave one of the tokens to Liu Bing. The man and his beast waited quietly there.


    ¡°The Array is incredibly powerful,¡± Li Yuan could sense it more clearly after refining the token. ¡°What we¡¯re lacking is numbers.¡±


    At present, the Demigods guarding the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm, including Li Yuan and Liu Bing, totaled only twenty-eight.


    Even adding the forty hidden Semi-Divine Peak Puppets.


    How many strong ones were there in total?

 Chapter 709: 380: Understanding the Third Move

    Chapter 709: Chapter 380: Understanding the Third Move


    Lines of light blossomed around Li Yuan, enveloping him with the Mysteries of Wind and Earth, yet at that moment, these two Laws merged perfectly into one.


    Great amounts of light surrounded him, making the aura that Li Yuan emitted vast and unfathomable.


    Quiet! Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Vast.


    Currently, their entire civilization faced unprecedented oppression, the time was too short, the migration plans of various planets had just started, and it was impossible to relocate billions of people, the pressure on Li Yuan¡¯s heart was imaginable.


    However, under this mental strain, Li Yuan began to transform while deducing the mysteries of the Boundary Cloud Spear.


    ...


    Gradually, Li Yuan¡¯s figure became more ethereal, giving off a sense that he was in a different world.


    ¡°What? Big Brother?¡± Liu Bing, standing beside him, was the most shocked; with her high Skill Realm and being the closest, she clearly felt the changes in the aura around Li Yuan, ¡°Spatial fluctuations?¡±


    Liu Bing couldn¡¯t believe it.


    But it was right before her eyes; the fluctuations emanating from Li Yuan¡¯s body were precisely the elusive spatial fluctuations she had relentlessly pursued.


    ¡°Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±


    ¡°What kind of aura is this?¡± Within the range of the Origin Power Array, the demigods who were originally meditating all noticed the astonishing fluctuations of the Power of Heaven and Earth and couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan.


    These demigods couldn¡¯t discern the reason and only felt that Li Yuan¡¯s current aura was incredibly mysterious.


    ¡°Um? What¡¯s this?¡± Fang Hai and the controller of the Array, also Fang Hai, sensed it as well.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Both swiftly traveled dozens of kilometers and arrived near the location of Li Yuan¡¯s aura.


    ¡°What is this? Has Li Yuan made a breakthrough?¡± The golden-haired Lant Semi-Divine said in surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s the same kind of aura as the teacher.¡± Fang Hai was shocked, ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s presence reminds me a little of the teacher.¡±


    ¡°Similar to Dongfang Ji?¡± Lant Semi-Divine was even more surprised.


    ¡°Li Yuan truly deserves to be recognized by the teacher as the number one genius of the civilization, his comprehension is inconceivably high,¡± Fang Hai said softly. ¡°His Law Comprehension was already strong, comparable to a Semi-Divine Peak¡­ Now that he has made a breakthrough, his Law Comprehension has probably transformed again. With the Origin Power Array supplementing his Basic Strength, the might he can exert will likely be astonishing.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing.¡± Lant Semi-Divine smiled, ¡°Perhaps, his strength is even greater than mine now.¡±


    Both were quite delighted about Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough.


    ¡°Lant Senior, please conceal Li Yuan¡¯s aura,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Mm.¡± Lant Semi-Divine nodded. With a thought, the environment changed, and vague golden lights spontaneously emerged, quickly covering the area where Li Yuan was located.


    This prevented other demigods from spying further.


    ¡­The golden light only masked the anomalies of Li Yuan¡¯s breakthrough and did not interfere with Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation.


    He continued to meditate deeply.


    Hush¡ªa formless fluctuation passed through, and beside Liu Bing, a phantom barely an inch in size with a single horn emerged with a faint aura, visible only to Liu Bing.


    ¡°Senior Qiu.¡± Liu Bing looked towards the single-horned phantom.


    ¡°He was actually able to induce a trace of spatial fluctuation; he must have truly comprehended a flicker of the Mysteries of Space,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with surprise in his eyes. ¡°His talent for the Space Law must be unimaginably strong.¡±


    ¡°Space Law talent?¡± Liu Bing was startled.


    ¡°I was curious before, his high talent in the Law of Earth is very normal,¡± Qiu Bingzun explained. ¡°Later, obtaining the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind from me and advancing further in the comprehension of the Wind Law¡­ also very normal.¡±


    Liu Bing nodded involuntarily, knowing that Li Yuan had cultivated two assistive Supreme Star Techniques.


    His quick Law Comprehension was very normal.


    ¡°What truly amazed me is his Law Integration,¡± Qiu Bingzun said. ¡°After ascending to godhood, Law Comprehension becomes difficult, thus many experts try to cultivate different Laws of the Great Dao¡­ But the challenging part is integrating those Laws.¡±


    ¡°Just like you,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Liu Bing.


    Liu Bing slightly nodded; from her birth until now, she had never been distracted by any other Great Dao Law, always focusing solely on the Wind Law.


    ¡°Li Yuan alone is an oddity.¡±


    ¡°His speed of comprehending Laws is not as fast as yours, but his efficiency in Law Integration, even when compared with the unparalleled prodigies of the Divine Realm, does not pale in comparison,¡± Qiu Bingzun stated earnestly.


    ¡°The Boundary Cloud Spear, among the many Secret Techniques I taught, is not too incredible¡­ but extremely suitable for him.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t quite understand in the past.¡±


    ¡°But now, I somewhat understand,¡± Qiu Bingzun revealed a smile. ¡°It is not because of the integration of the Laws of Earth and Wind that he touched the Mysteries of Space¡­ but because his talent for Space Law is so high, making it easy for him to integrate different Laws.¡±


    Liu Bing listened breathlessly; she naturally understood what ¡®Space Law talent¡¯ meant.


    In the Divine Realm,


    There are countless creatures, and prodigies efficient in comprehending the Seven Fundamental Laws abound.


    But once it involves Space Law, they are rare to see.


    And such prodigies are also difficult to discover, generally requiring one to reach the Pseudo-God Level or Divine Levels to be able to make judgments.


    Even with Qiu Bingzun¡¯s discernment, he hadn¡¯t noticed it before.


    ¡°Sister Gu You, you¡¯re indeed fortunate,¡± Qiu Bingzun laughed, ¡°You have been keeping watch, why not come out now?¡±


    Whoosh!


    Another barely detectable phantom appeared, it was Gu You, her face filled with surprise, she glanced at Qiu Bingzun, ¡°The Direct Disciple I chose for father is indeed extraordinary.¡±


    Time passed.


    Nearly an hour later, the fluctuations around Li Yuan finally dispersed, and he appeared normal again, slowly opening his eyes.


    Previously, while Li Yuan was comprehending the Mysteries of the Laws of Earth and Wind, he could always vaguely sense the existence of spatial fluctuations.


    But only today had he grasped a true understanding of them.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, and finally, the corresponding records emerged.


    ¡°`


    [Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 2%), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 38%)¡­]


    ¡°`


    ¡°Mysteries of Space, logically, should be like the Mysteries of Earth, Wind Mysteries, etc., representing that I¡¯ve just grasped a bit of the heavenly and earthly mysteries, which is just at the entry level,¡± Li Yuan mused silently. ¡°Being so far from controlling the true intent, could the might have already reached the level of the seventh stage?¡±


    His heart stirred!


    Hu¨¡ l¨¡~ Li Yuan felt his perception ability surge suddenly, faintly touching the deeper mysteries of the celestial and terrestrial operations, the endless space¡­ seemed to have no bound.


    Within this endless space, he could sense the responses of the earth, the freedom of the wind, the fervor of fire¡­ Everything originated from this spatial domain.


    It was the beginning of everything, where numerous Lwas of the Great Dao operated within the space.


    When it perished, it also symbolized the end of everything.


    ¡­


    ¡°Eh?¡± Li Yuan noticed wisps of golden light nearby and immediately understood that this was a cover given by Lant Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Little Ice, Sister Gu You, elder Qiu.¡± Li Yuan looked at the people around him.


    ¡°Big brother, congratulations,¡± Liu Bing said excitedly. ¡°You¡¯ve grasped a hint of the mysteries of space.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve just entered the doorway,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, knowing only through contemplation the vastness of space.


    What he had comprehended was nothing but a fringe, and even if he controlled the true intent or crossed the threshold of the Law, it was just like discovering a drop of water in the ocean.


    ¡°The space law is a superior law. Its might is extremely strong. Even if you¡¯ve just controlled a hint of its mystery, the might is equivalent to other Great Dao crossing the threshold of the Law, comparable to the seventh stage,¡± Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. ¡°And entering the doorway is the hardest part. Now that you have entered, subsequent contemplation will naturally become easier.¡±


    ¡°If one day, you can control the true intention of space, that would be impressive. By then, relying solely on the space law, you would be able to dominate among the Pseudo-Gods,¡± Qiu Bingzun added.


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    The seven fundamental laws, as comprehension deepens, ultimately allow one to grasp a hint of the original truth, which can gather ¡®Law Will¡¯ within one¡¯s own soul, capable of projecting consciousness thousands of miles away.


    This was the eighth stage of skill.


    But if it¡¯s the Space Dao, even just condensing ¡®true intent¡¯ could achieve this step, which shows the horror of a superior law.


    If he truly could cross into the threshold of the Space Law, that would be defying the heavens, even within the Divine Realm, not many Pseudo-Gods could achieve it.


    ¡°The Space Dao, comprehension is slow.¡±


    ¡°Divine beings, with strong souls, plus lighting divine fire, the inner and outer heaven and earth intertwined, most can only sense a hint,¡± Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Actually, for you now, the greatest use of comprehending a bit of space mystery is that it makes the integration of your Earth and Wind Laws more seamless.¡±


    ¡°Space is the root of myriad paths. With space mystery as a medium, your comprehension of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ will become easier,¡± Qiu Bingzun advised. ¡°Try it more often.¡±


    Though he was only left with a remnant soul, he possessed all the memories of his original body, barely a step away from Heavenly Divine in his prime.


    In terms of cultivation experience, it was beyond ordinary people¡¯s imagination.


    ¡°Thank you, elder, for your guidance,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.


    Although Qiu Bingzun rarely gave him pointers, every word was key.


    H¨±!


    Li Yuan stood up, a black long spear appearing in his hand, and he immediately began to wield it.


    Hu¨¡ l¨¡~


    The long spear moved like a large python, unpredictable in its whipping, whether pulling, stabbing, or sweeping, each move unpredictable and continuous.


    This spear technique contained no Origin Power, yet it perfectly induced the fluctuations of Earth and Wind Laws, its might extraordinary, sufficient to annihilate ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Hu¨¡! Hu¨¡! Hu¨¡!


    As time passed, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique became more elusive and ethereal, gradually changing. The mysteries of the Earth and Wind Laws combined more perfectly, even giving rise to another mysterious fluctuation.


    This fluctuation was very weak, yet contained extremely terrifying might.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hu¨¡¡ª¡ª¡±


    Following his feelings, Li Yuan thrust his spear forward suddenly, the forces of wind, earth, and space rotating around the spear, intertwining with each other, and ultimately perfectly converging at the spear tip.


    As if to pierce through the long sky.


    ¡°Ch¨©~¡± A fearsome and sharp force exploded instantaneously, streaking across the sky, suddenly penetrating the distant hazy golden light, unknowing of how many kilometers it shot out.


    ¡°¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ third form, I¡¯ve finally begun to comprehend it,¡± Li Yuan felt joy in his heart.


    ¡°This spear technique? Containing not a trace of Origin Power, yet possessing such might, big brother is amazing,¡± praised Liu Bing, her eyes lighting up.


    ¡°Good,¡± Gu You revealed a smile.


    ¡°With a hint of space mystery as a link, combining together, you could directly perform the third form?¡± Qiu Bingzun also praised. ¡°The mystery of this spear, most of the Semi-Divine Peak probably couldn¡¯t perform.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    The first form of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ ¡®Piercing Cloud,¡¯ roughly equivalent to seventh stage initial rank comprehension.


    The second form ¡®Splitting Star,¡¯ equivalent to the seventh stage intermediate rank comprehension, was at the Semi-Divine Peak level, which he comprehended during the crisis on Lantie Star.


    The third form ¡®Ghost Valley,¡¯ then equals the seventh stage high rank comprehension, capable of matching the mystery of a Semi-Divine Limit expert¡¯s moves.


    Today, having grasped a hint of spatial mystery, perfectly combining the Earth and Wind Laws comprehension, he finally comprehended this form.


    ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯ fourth form ¡®Shattering the Long Sky,¡¯ fifth form ¡®Divine Soldier Intent¡¯¡­ those were Pseudo-God level techniques.


    ¡°The fourth and fifth forms are too far away for me.¡±


    ¡°Being able to comprehend the third form now, which significantly increases my spear technique¡¯s might, my strength in direct combat should be comparable to many Semi-Divine Peaks,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°With the addition of the Origin Power Array¡­ my combat power will advance further.¡±


    Li Yuan understood his own weakness. In terms of the height of his spear technique realm, probably no one in the civilization could match him.


    But the drawback was that his basic strength was too weak, even with many Nine Layer Star Techniques in his body, still far from other Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    ¡°I wonder.¡±


    ¡°When will the Myriad Demons Civilization launch their attack?¡± Li Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, then stopped thinking too much and continued to meditate and deduce his spear techniques silently.

 Chapter 710: 381 War Begins

    Chapter 710: Chapter 381 War Begins


    Seven Stars Calendar 2053, April 22nd, five days had passed since the news of Dongfang Ji¡¯s fall had reached the Seven Star Civilization.


    Four days had passed since the Myriad Demons Civilization had issued the ¡°War Mobilization Order.¡±


    Outside a side hall in the Myriad Demons Hall on Demon Star, numerous bustling half-gods had gathered.


    ¡°These days, half-gods stationed on various planets have all arrived, summoned by the deity; it looks like a great battle is imminent.¡±


    ¡°A half-god army.¡±


    ¡°The last time we gathered a half-god army was over sixty years ago, when we entered the ¡®Qiu Yuan Sea¡¯ through the space rift in the starry sky to compete with other civilizations for divine treasures. The time before that was over a hundred years ago, during the Seven Stars War.¡±


    ...


    ¡°This time, I don¡¯t know who we are targeting, but we¡¯ve already gathered more than three hundred half-gods, not to mention distributing many divine artifacts and several Origin Power Arrays.¡±


    ¡°It can¡¯t be that they¡¯re sending us into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain,¡± many half-gods quietly speculated.


    Even for the Myriad Demons Civilization, such grand-scale wars were rare.


    The scale of this war even made them tremble; most of the half-gods inside the hall were of Initial Rank and Middle Rank, relatively weak, and unaware of many secretive messages.


    Meanwhile, in another main hall, the number of people was much fewer, but each individual¡¯s aura was much stronger.


    Floating in the void was the East Demon Deity.


    ¡°Ye An, Hemu,¡± the East Demon Deity looked at the two leading figures: ¡°The first battle will be led by you two, entering Feixing. Your targets are Li Yuan and Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine respectfully responded.


    The East Demon Deity could not help but glance at Ye An Semi-Divine.


    He had always been hesitant to use him, but after much deliberation, he decided to utilize him¡­ There was no choice, as there was a shortage of top combat power.


    Although the Myriad Demons Civilization far exceeded the Seven Star Civilization, the only openly known Semi-Divine Limit Expert was Ye An Semi-Divine.


    It was only because the deities summoned the half-gods that the East Demon Deity after examination realized that Hemu Semi-Divine had also broken through.


    There were no more Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    A Semi-Divine Limit Expert in such a scale of half-god war had a very significant impact.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine had broken through, becoming even stronger.


    But he was still on his way back, and the East Demon Deity could not wait, deciding to launch an initial raid first to probe the defensive details of the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°As for you eighteen,¡± the East Demon Deity looked toward another group of half-god experts: ¡°You are all Semi-Divine Peak Experts, each endowed with a divine artifact. Form groups of nine, and you must assist Ye An and Hemu, striving to break through the defenses of the Seven Star Civilization in one fell swoop.¡±


    ¡°At least, force out the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s trump cards,¡± the East Demon Deity stated.


    ¡°Yes,¡± the eighteen Semi-Divine Peak Experts responded in unison.


    They knew their responsibility¡ªthey were the vanguard army!


    If the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s power was weak, they would directly break through¡­ If the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s power was too strong, they would withdraw first.


    ¡°You,¡± the East Demon Deity then looked toward dozens of figures at the back of the great hall: ¡°When the time comes, I will decide based on the situation whether you will lead the main army along the Demon Mountain Star Realm to enter the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± the group of powerful half-gods responded.


    ¡°Proceed,¡± the East Demon Deity waved his hand.


    Whoosh! Instantly, a surge arrived, and before the half-gods present could react, he had gathered them all.


    Whew!


    The East Demon Deity flew out, arriving at another side hall: ¡°Everyone, follow my command, do not resist.¡±


    The hundreds of half-gods inside the hall also did not resist, allowing the East Demon Deity to collect them.


    Swoosh!


    The East Demon Deity soared into the void.


    He pondered briefly, then with a wave of his hand, collected the massive structure below¡ªthe Myriad Demons Hall¡ªwhich was, in fact, a powerful magical treasure left by the ¡®True God of Myriad Demons¡¯ in history.


    Though this war did not require the East Demon Deity¡¯s participation in battle, he was always cautious and highly valued his own life.


    Whir~ In the void, a mysterious figure with a secretive aura appeared, it was Qiong Jin Deity.


    ¡°East Demon, you really are cautious,¡± Qiong Jin Deity scoffed.


    ¡°You know nothing,¡± the East Demon Deity retorted coldly: ¡°This Myriad Demons Hall is a true divine artifact. With it, no matter what tricks Dongfang Ji plays, as long as we retreat into the Myriad Demons Hall, he cannot touch us.¡±


    ¡°Even if Dongfang Ji is powerful, he¡¯s still just a half-god,¡± Qiong Jin Deity shook his head: ¡°Could it be that he has infiltrated our Myriad Demons Civilization and become a Pseudo-God, planning an ambush?¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue Deity has been guarding the Demon Mountain Star Realm all this time,¡± Qiong Jin Deity mentioned.


    ¡°Better safe than sorry,¡± the East Demon Deity stated: ¡°You better hurry your disciple to come quickly.¡±


    According to the East Demon Deity¡¯s estimation.


    Only upon Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s return would they have an absolute confidence in victory.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said: ¡°Sha Kun is hurrying back at full speed, let¡¯s go ahead.¡±


    ¡°If we delay, the Seven Star Civilization might receive news of our deployment.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two deities transformed into two streaks of light, crossing the sky and land with astounding speed, easily breaking through 80 kilometers per second.


    Before long.


    They arrived above a vast ocean, here lay a bustling city, and also a massive entrance to the Interior Dimensional Star Realm.


    ¡°We should be grateful that the Seven Star Civilization never gave birth to a true god,¡± Qiong Jin Deity smiled faintly: ¡°Otherwise, once their planetary channel is fully open¡­ half-god reinforcements would be extremely fast, leaving no time for us.¡±


    ¡°If their planetary channel was fully open, we could have obliterated the Seven Star Civilization more than a hundred years ago, and Dongfang Ji wouldn¡¯t have had time to break through,¡± the East Demon Deity frowned: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Swoosh! Swoosh! The two great deities directly flew into the Interior Dimensional Star Realm¡­ as a powerful civilization that had once given birth to a true god.


    Within the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s territory, ¡®Interior Dimensional Star Realms¡¯ connecting major planets, half-gods could freely traverse.(Chapter 358)


    Even deities, as long as they are native deities, could directly travel along the planetary channels.


    Minutes later, they had already arrived at Demon Mountain Star.


    ¡­Demon Mountain Star, which had been a very ordinary life planet in the Myriad Demons Civilization but had become extremely significant over the past hundred years.


    Even Bei Yue Deity was often stationed here.


    Everything was because the ¡°Demon Mountain Star Realm¡± connected the Seven Star Civilization.


    Above the entrance of the Star Realm, spanning hundreds of kilometers in diameter, a vast and dark palace floated.


    Swoosh! The sacred aura of Bei Yue Deity flew out from the palace, looking into the distance.


    The East Demon Deity and Qiong Jin Deity soon arrived in the void.


    ¡°Bei Yue, you¡¯ve worked hard,¡± the East Demon Deity said to Bei Yue Deity, ¡°protecting this place all these years.¡±


    ¡°Some must guard,¡± Bei Yue Deity smiled, ¡°If I weren¡¯t here, once Dongfang Ji sneaked in, I fear it would cause utter chaos, and the Myriad Demons Star would probably have been destroyed long ago.¡±


    Both deities nodded.


    ¡°Everything is ready, then let¡¯s prepare for war,¡± the East Demon Deity said with a wave of his hand. Immediately, several figures appeared beside him, led by Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine.


    And eighteen Semi-Divine Peak Experts.


    ¡°Follow my command,¡± the East Demon Deity issued the order, ¡°don¡¯t act rashly, prioritize your survival.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Twenty figures turned into streaks of light and rushed into the dark passage below.


    ¡°With their flying speed, they¡¯ll reach the Star Realm entrance to Feixing within ten minutes,¡± Bei Yue Deity said softly, ¡°But twenty Semi-Divines, isn¡¯t that too few?¡±


    ¡°Not at all,¡± the East Demon Deity slowly said, ¡°According to intelligence, aside from Dongfang Ji, there should be only four Semi-Divine Peak Experts in the Seven Star Civilization, and Xin Yu Semi-Divine is even at the Heavenly Sea Star¡­ The force we dispatched should be enough to force out their true capabilities.¡±


    ¡°Just worried it might be a trap set by Dongfang Ji,¡± Qiong Jin Deity frowned.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t let the other Semi-Divines wait in the Demon Mountain Star Realm,¡± the East Demon Deity said, ¡°Otherwise, once Dongfang Ji survived and pursued us¡­ the casualties would be too great.¡±


    ¡°The first battle is just a probe.¡±


    ¡°But if the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s strength is too weak, they might not withstand the attack from Hemu Semi-Divine and the others,¡± the East Demon Deity said.


    Bei Yue Deity and the others nodded.


    Two Semi-Divine Limit Experts and eighteen Semi-Divine Peak Experts¡­ This force was enough to destroy typical civilizations.


    On Feixing, outside the entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm, more than twenty Semi-Divines were silently meditating, mostly continuing to nurture the Divine Instruments they had recently obtained.


    On the mountain peaks,


    ¡°Just as Senior Qiu said,¡±


    ¡°Once you slightly enter the Space Great Dao, it becomes clearer to sense the spatial fluctuations, making it easier to comprehend other Basic Laws,¡± Li Yuan marveled inwardly, ¡°Now, as I deduct the Law of Earth and Wind Law, the efficiency has greatly improved.¡±


    Li Yuan now understood why, after reaching their limits, deities would attempt to comprehend multiple Laws of the Great Dao.


    The main purpose is to combine various Mysteries of the Law, step into the threshold of the Space Great Dao, and then pivot to break through in their primary Law of the Great Dao.


    ¡°Combining multiple Laws of the Great Dao could greatly enhance one¡¯s strength,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°Like my Spear Technique, it¡¯s already comparable to Semi-Divine Limit Experts¡­ But the leap in Life Level requires focus on a single Dao, using this Dao as the foundation.¡±


    Like Li Yuan, if he wanted to become a Pseudo-God in the future, he must bring the Law of Earth to the Seven Stages of Perfection Level.


    As Li Yuan contemplated,


    ¡°Li Yuan, be careful! Alert from the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army is about to attack, likely with more than ten Semi-Divines, strength unknown,¡± a voice suddenly rang in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    It was Fang Hai¡¯s voice.


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army is coming?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s face shifted slightly, inwardly astonished.


    It turns out the principal and the others have already set up the alert.


    ¡°Little Ice, get ready,¡± Li Yuan communicated.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing was eager to try.


    Not just Li Yuan.


    Lant Semi-Divine, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, Flame City Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, and others all received the message and stood up from their peaks, all feeling quite tense and alert.


    ¡°Rise!¡± thought Lant Semi-Divine from deep within the earth.


    WHOOSH~


    Within thousands of kilometers around, Heaven and Earth Origin Power began to surge wildly, followed by a hazy Golden Light emerging, dazzlingly bright, directly shooting into the atmosphere, ascending hundreds of kilometers above the ground into the starry sky.


    And closer to the core of the formation, the Golden Light became denser and the might more terrifying.


    Especially within the central three hundred kilometers, the rolling clouds had a bewildering effect, ordinary Semi-Divines simply couldn¡¯t break out of this range.


    ¡°Such a powerful Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°Truly, it¡¯s the fallback plan left by the Eastern Alliance Leader before his fall.¡±


    ¡°We can activate the might of the Origin Power Array now.¡±


    ¡°Quickly.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin,¡± Li Yuan, Liu Bing, San Ye Semi-Divine, through their Array Talismans, began to manipulate the array¡¯s might.


    Before, they had already familiarized themselves with the method of manipulating the array¡­ but this was their first time learning about the specific might of the array.


    ¡°Condense!¡± With a thought, Li Yuan had already cast the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± his body instantly turning ten meters tall. Following this, the Array Command he had refined immediately mobilized the array¡¯s might, and in an instant, countless Golden Lights floating in the void crazily rushed towards him.


    In a moment, Li Yuan¡¯s body was enveloped in a thick layer of Golden Light, immediately feeling the strength he could muster had soared significantly.


    ¡°Initially, when I performed the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, the power I could unleash was comparable to a normal level 42 expert,¡± Li Yuan exclaimed, ¡°Now, I fear my power is comparable to a level 44 expert.¡±


    Here, level 44 refers to the state of a level 44 Semi-Divine performing the ¡®Seven Layer Body Refining Technique¡¯.


    ¡°Previously, what I lacked was Basic Strength,¡±


    ¡°But now, with the array¡¯s enhancement, the strength I can unleash has nearly reached Semi-Divine Peak Experts,¡± Li Yuan was immediately filled with confidence, and he also sensed the other Semi-Divines¡¯ aura skyrocketing.


    This Origin Power Array indeed possessed endless might. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just over ten seconds later.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Strong auras suddenly burst out from the dark cave.

 Chapter 711: 382: Fierce Battle! Li Yuans Strength

    Chapter 711: Chapter 382: Fierce Battle! Li Yuan¡¯s Strength


    ¡°So many demigods.¡±


    ¡°Their aura is all so strong.¡± Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, Flame City Semi-Divine, and others slightly changed their expressions.


    The warning methods of the Demon Mountain Star Realm could only determine that the enemy attacking was a demigod, but they couldn¡¯t assess the specific strength of the enemy.


    However, just from the aura bursting forth from the enemy, it was clear they were not to be trifled with.


    ¡°There are twenty demigods.¡± Li Yuan, confident in his own formidable strength, had already arrived at the edge of the exit from Demon Mountain. His gaze swept over, and he directly employed Divine Palace Exploration, ¡°45 level, 45 level, 46 level, 46 level¡­¡±


    He confirmed the strength of all the demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ...


    ¡°Everyone, be careful,¡± Li Yuan directly relayed through the virtual network communication, ¡°The ones coming are all Semi-Divine Peak experts, including 6 at level 46, the rest are all level 45, the level 46 experts are these six¡­¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan had already communicated the results of his inquiry to the other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization.


    At this life-and-death moment, Li Yuan no longer concealed his unique inquiry methods.


    ¡°So quickly confirmed?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s inquiry method is impressive.¡± The other demigods were surprised in their hearts.


    ¡°Even with the support of the great formation, I could only tell they are at least Semi-Divine Peak, but couldn¡¯t distinguish between level 45 and 46. Li Yuan¡¯s technique is indeed special,¡± remarked Lant Semi-Divine, also quite surprised.


    While it seems slow to talk about, the train of thought of a demigod warrior is extremely fast. From when the large army of the Myriad Demons Civilization killed their way over, to Li Yuan and his peers confirming their strength, only an instant had passed.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s voice resounded in the mind of every demigod: ¡°Qinghe, your target is number one.¡±


    ¡°San Ye, your target is number two.¡±


    ¡°Xue Long, your target is number three.¡±


    ¡°Flame City¡­¡± Lant Semi-Divine¡¯s voice rose simultaneously in the minds of the 20 plus allies, each person receiving a different command.


    The attacking experts from the Myriad Demons Civilization were mostly unknown to Lant Semi-Divine, so they were simply labeled as numbers one to twenty.


    However, there were four experts whom Lant Semi-Divine would not command, those being Li Yuan, Fang Hai, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and Liu Bing¡­ their strength was the strongest among their peers.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan, Fang Hai, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and others directly turned into streaks of light and charged forward, their bodies faintly enveloped in a golden light, clearly benefiting from the full support of the formation, which greatly elevated their strength.


    At this moment.


    Apart from Lant Semi-Divine, who was focusing all his effort on the formation, all the other demigods had acted. Although most were only Semi-Divine Initial Rank or Semi-Divine Middle Rank, with the support of the Origin Power Array, at least they saw their basic strength increase to a level 44 standard, or a level 45 standard¡­ The Origin Power Array was extremely ferocious.


    Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, who had already cultivated to level 46, now erupted with an aura that was incomparably fierce, surpassing everyone on the field, even Fang Hai¡¯s aura could not compare to his.


    ¡°Amazing!¡±


    ¡°In the published intelligence, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine is the highest achiever of our Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Star Meridian,¡± Li Yuan watched the figure emitting a terrifying aura, and quietly marveled, ¡°46 level, plus the Seventh Layers Body Refining Star Technique¡­ and with the augmentation of the Origin Power Array, in terms of pure strength, he must be close to catching up with many level 47 demigods.¡±


    The difference in strength between level 42 and level 44 demigods wouldn¡¯t be too great, as their Star Techniques were roughly equal.


    But the gap between level 45 and level 47 would be significant, as one only represents the Five-Star Meridian, while the other represents the Seven Star Veins.


    ¡°Huh~¡±


    Threads of golden light, which already shrouded thousands of kilometers, also surged wildly. Besides bolstering Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and others, it was also aggressively targeting each Myriad Demons Civilization demigod.


    The Origin Power Array, aside from enhancing allies, could also weaken the enemy.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Exterminate the demigods from the Seven Star Civilization.¡± Nightshade Semi-Divine, Hemu Semi-Divine led the large force and, filled with confidence from previous campaigns against other civilizations where victory often came through sheer overpowering, were bewildered upon passing through the Star Realm Passage.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Such a strong Origin Power Array?¡±


    ¡°What sort of formation is this? It¡¯s terrifying.¡± Those threads of golden light, seemingly inconspicuous, contained terrifying power, constantly assaulting them.


    These golden lights, being close to the level of the demigods, could not cause them fatal injuries but greatly hindered their flying speed and continually eroded the Origin Power within them.


    ¡°This formation is extremely strong, our Myriad Demons Civilization probably doesn¡¯t have such a formidable one, definitely a secret technique left behind by Dongfang Ji,¡± Nightshade Semi-Divine¡¯s voice resonated in the minds of their own demigods, ¡°But its effectiveness depends on who uses it. The demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, in general, are weaker, with very few at the Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    ¡°One by one, they seem strong, but in reality, they are paper tigers, annihilate them,¡± Nightshade Semi-Divine¡¯s voice was icy.


    ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill.¡± The demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, initially taken aback, rapidly dispersed to face their respective adversaries.


    As a vanguard force, their purpose was to probe out the trump cards of the Seven Star Civilization.


    The burst of strength from the Seven Star Civilization, no matter how powerful, surely wouldn¡¯t mean a retreat at first contact.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The two forces of demigods, like two mighty currents, collided with a thunderous roar.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s momentum soared.


    He had been the closest to the Star Realm entrance all along, and coupled with his concurrent insight into the Mysteries of Space and Wind Law, if speed were the only consideration, apart from Liu Bing, likely no one could surpass him.


    Even Blood Cloth Semi-Divine and Fang Hai, who revealed flying speeds on par with his.


    Thus, Li Yuan was the fastest among them, holding a long spear, directly confronting one of the opponent¡¯s Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    ¡°It¡¯s Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°The number one genius of the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan.¡± The powerhouses from the Myriad Demons Civilization recognized Li Yuan, knowing he was their primary target.


    But in a clash between the armies of demigods, where speeds were fierce, under the suppression of the Origin Power Array, it was impossible for all the demigods to focus fire on Li Yuan immediately.


    The first to confront Li Yuan was a burly man dressed in blood armor.


    ¡°Level 46 experts, each one with a Six Star Pulse, the Star Techniques they display are generally stronger, and their overall strength is a lot greater than level 45¡¯s¡­ it will be much harder to kill one,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were cold, ¡°It¡¯s better to break one finger than to injure ten¡­ aim to first eliminate a level 45 demigod.¡±


    Boom! Li Yuan, holding the Black Chen Spear, his eyes cold, burst forth with his full might at once.


    A Semi-Divine Peak? He had never killed one before!


    Kill!


    Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power was completely infused into the Black Chen Spear, with the formation¡¯s golden light also fully bolstering the Divine Spear.


    An all-out burst.


    ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear third style¡ªGhost Valley!¡±


    The first style of the Boundary Cloud Spear leaned towards defense, the second was a domineering attack, and the third style, properly called ¡°Ghost Valley¡¯s Call,¡± sought unpredictable and enigmatic killing strikes. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Clash!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s momentum soared to the sky, as the long spear whistled straight out, ethereal and uncanny, as if it was about to pierce the heavens above.


    At the same time as the Divine Spear¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± Suddenly, nine Yellow Dragons emerged across Li Yuan¡¯s body, each with a formidable aura, also roaring and circling the long spear, attacking in unison.


    Nine Dragons Xuan Armor¡ªYellow Dragon!


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    An invisible wave of soul energy also accompanied this explosive thrust of the spear.


    Soul Secret Technique¡ªMind Soul!


    Compared to the battle with Lantie Star, Li Yuan, who had constantly been practicing the Visualization Method to grind himself, had advanced his soul to level 49, just a step shy from the Pseudo-God Level Soul.


    Executing this Soul Secret Technique, the might naturally became even more formidable.


    It could be said.


    In the first exchange, Li Yuan already burst forth with all his strength, seeking to make his mark.


    ¡­¡±Come and battle. According to the intelligence, your Spear Technique only reached the Semi-Divine Peak level during the crisis on Lantie Star. It has been less than half a year since then; even with the support of the Origin Power Array, I don¡¯t fear you,¡± said the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, though feeling the terror of this spear, he was not afraid at all.


    Most importantly, the battle happened too quickly, leaving him no way to retreat.


    ¡°Slash!¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine brandished his Combat Saber, lifting it high with the intention of slashing at Li Yuan.


    Buzz~ An invisible wave of soul energy had instantly penetrated his spiritual world, causing his mind to immediately experience bouts of dizziness.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a soul attack. I clearly practiced Soul Defense Secret Technique, how could I still be affected?¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine was shocked. Typically, in a clash at the same level, soul attacks were hardly effective and mostly could be ignored.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine still swung his Combat Saber, with its dazzling blade tearing through the void.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The Divine Artifacts of the two powerhouses collided.


    ¡°Not good, how can his Spear Technique be so strong? It¡¯s much more powerful than reported.¡± The burly Blood Cloth Semi-Divine¡¯s face changed color, feeling a terrible force invading through the weapons, and immediately, he found himself thrown backward.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Pu Ren is completely no match? Isn¡¯t he wielding a Divine Artifact Combat Saber? Can¡¯t he even restrain Li Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s strength is formidable.¡± Other Semi-Divines from the Myriad Demons Civilization were shocked, only to see Pu Ren Semi-Divine sent flying by Li Yuan after a single exchange.


    Obviously, there was a great gap between the strengths of both parties.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s figure flashed like lightning, seizing the opportunity to finish off his opponent.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Help Pu Ren Semi-Divine, don¡¯t let Li Yuan act arrogantly.¡±


    ¡°Block him.¡± Two more Semi-Divines from Wan Mo immediately rushed over, one with a War Hammer, and the other manipulating Divine Artifact Chains, as chains enveloped the area attempting to suppress Li Yuan.


    ¡°Scram!¡±


    Clang! Clang! Clang! Li Yuan¡¯s long spear moved with agility and unpredictability. With every touch of the spear tip, he easily sent those chains flying.


    At the same time, the nine Yellow Dragons around Li Yuan, each reaching the threshold of Semi-Divine strength, coordinated well with each other, producing effective results and allowing him not to fear such restraining methods.


    ¡°Take my hammer!¡± A massive War Hammer came crashing down like lightning.


    ¡°Hiss~¡±


    Multiple spear shadows clashed with the hammer three times, enabling Li Yuan to block this long-gathering heavy hammer strike.


    ¡°Such incredible strength, truly worthy of a level 46 Semi-Divine,¡± Li Yuan observed the hammer-wielding Semi-Divine.


    While the Hammer Technique invoked the mysteries of the earth and heavens, the sheer force was terrifying, surpassing Li Yuan by quite a margin.


    ¡°Come.¡±


    ¡°All of us together.¡±


    Pu Ren Semi-Divine, having recovered, immediately joined the hammer-wielding Semi-Divine powerhouse, launching a combined assault.


    They both sensed Li Yuan¡¯s dreadful strength, daring not to attack rashly.


    ¡°Bang bang bang!¡±


    For a time, three Semi-Divine Peak experts, including a level 46 Semi-Divine, still could not cope with Li Yuan, even seeming at a disadvantage, all because Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique was too unpredictable and terrifying.


    ¡°Killing Semi-Divine Peak experts is indeed difficult; they each wear Divine Artifact Battle Armor,¡± Li Yuan frowned, also feeling the tenacity of Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    The army sent by the Demon Civilization, not a single one was weak.


    ¡°Lanite¡¯s Spear Technique has made another breakthrough,¡± marveled the forces of the Seven Star Civilization, witnessing Li Yuan¡¯s outburst.


    ¡°Even with formation support, he¡¯s just at the Flying Heaven Realm, yet he can fight one against three?¡±


    ¡°On the entire battlefield, there are likely very few who are stronger than him.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s surge of power amazed the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side, while the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s side became anxious.


    Both armies had fully collided and entangled, with no Semi-Divines falling in a short time.


    Firstly, both sides were extremely cautious.


    Secondly, the power displayed by both parties was nothing less than near Semi-Divine Peaks, with a generally strong ability to preserve life, naturally making it challenging to determine life or death in a short span.


    However, it was foreseeable that amidst such fierce fighting, it wouldn¡¯t be long before some Semi-Divines could no longer hold out.


    And the most ferocious battle was between Fang Hai and Hemu Semi-Divine.

 Chapter 712: 383: Fang Hai Erupts! All Cards on the Table

    Chapter 712: Chapter 383: Fang Hai Erupts! All Cards on the Table


    Blood Cloth Semi-Divine immediately faced off against Ye An Semi Divine as the battle began.


    After all, this was a publicly known Semi-Divine Limit Expert from the Myriad Demons Civilization, one who needed to be confronted.


    As soon as their combat commenced, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine found himself at a disadvantage.


    However, empowered by the great formation, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine¡¯s strength surged, far surpassing that of Ye An Semi Divine. Coupled with the Escaping Method Star Technique and several Divine Artifacts on his person, he didn¡¯t fear the combat, able to fully entangle the Ye An Semi Divine.


    As for Fang Hai?


    Before the two armies had even begun to clash, he was already targeted by Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ...


    When the two powerhouses truly crossed swords, both were startled by the other.


    Fang Hai was shocked by Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s strength¡ªanother Semi-Divine Limit Expert?


    ¡°Such many demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization, indeed, there are hidden Semi-Divine Limit Experts,¡± Fang Hai thought with vigilance.


    Hemu Semi-Divine was even more surprised.


    According to his knowledge, hadn¡¯t Fang Hai achieved Semi-Divine status just a few years ago? Yet his strength had already escalated to such a level?


    He is indeed the current ¡®Alliance Hierarch of the Seven Stars.¡¯


    Not just the first in status, but also first in revealed strength.


    ¡°Boom boom boom!¡± The strength that Fang Hai and Hemu Semi-Divine erupted with kept rising, and within just a few moves, it made the other demigods hesitant to approach.


    Because the power both of them displayed had far surpassed everyone else.


    Even Ye An, who was also a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, seemed slightly inferior to the strength displayed by these two.


    At this moment,


    Fang Hai and Hemu Semi-Divine were undoubtedly the most dazzling presences on the entire battlefield.


    ¡°Fang Hai, you indeed possess Semi-Divine Limit strength, but without the support of this Origin Power Array, you¡¯re absolutely no match for me,¡± Hemu Semi-Divine roared in anger.


    He held a wooden staff, an ancient-looking staff inscribed with complex Secret Runes, clearly a powerful Pseudo-God Artifact.


    And Fang Hai, with whom he was clashing, was just 45 levels, but the aura he exuded was even more terrifying than that of Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, much scarier.


    Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique!


    36 level Star Technique!


    Even though Fang Hai¡¯s Origin Power had only been cultivated to level 45, not yet reaching the ultimate peak of level 47, with the Fourth Rank Limit, Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, his strength had escalated to an incredibly exaggerated degree.


    In terms of power, he completely overpowered Hemu Semi-Divine, who was at level 46.


    What¡¯s equally terrifying is the Combat Saber in Fang Hai¡¯s hands¡ªit looked quite ordinary and didn¡¯t seem to contain any profound mystery, yet the saber light it slashed out was terrifying.


    The clashes between the Combat Saber and the Divine Staff again and again, allowed Fang Hai to suppress Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even ask.¡±


    ¡°Hemu, you hide your strength deeply, reaching the Semi-Divine Limit under our noses, you might even become a Pseudo-God,¡± Fang Hai¡¯s voice was cold, echoing throughout heaven and earth, ¡°But you only need to know one thing¡ªeven without Teacher¡¯s help, with me here, your Myriad Demons Civilization will never invade our Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Sea Chanting Realm!¡±


    Whoosh! Fang Hai¡¯s Combat Saber slashed out once more.


    With the strike, it seemed as if countless imaginary currents surged into the Combat Saber, and then a terrifying blade of light sliced through the void, aiming for Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Suppress!¡±


    Hemu Semi-Divine swung his Divine Staff, colliding fiercely, and was once again forced back, his disadvantage even more evident.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°Damn it!!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes were full of anger, ¡°His Sword Technique is quite average, just Semi-Divine Peak level¡­ and yet he can wield such powerful might, continuing without end. I find it hard to harness the mysteries of the Dao to repel him; it¡¯s the issue with that Divine Artifact.¡±


    ¡°How did the Seven Star Civilization obtain so many powerful Divine Artifacts?¡±


    In terms of cultivation realm, Hemu Semi-Divine was slightly higher.


    But in combat, it¡¯s not just about the subtlety of the moves but also about the might of Star Techniques, Divine Artifacts, and many other aspects. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Experts in different Laws would also display subtle differences in the ingeniousness of their moves.


    Like Hemu Semi-Divine, who contemplated the Fire Law, his attacks were the most ferocious, with extremely strong bursts.


    Fang Hai, on the other hand, contemplated the Law of Water. With a Divine Artifact in hand, he was clearly employing an extremely tricky Sword Technique.


    ¡°Kill!¡± As Fang Hai struck with his saber again, every slash seemed like the burst of a vast ocean, its might not only terrifyingly frightful but also relentless in its assault.


    Underneath this Origin Power Array, Fang Hai was like a god, irresistible.


    No matter how Hemu Semi-Divine executed his techniques, he couldn¡¯t shake off Fang Hai; instead, his disadvantage became more and more apparent.


    After all, his techniques were based on direct attacks.


    Now that even frontal attacks were inferior to Fang Hai¡¯s, resisting became even more difficult.


    ¡°The others, they¡¯re also not winning.¡± As Hemu Semi-Divine defended against Fang Hai¡¯s assaults, he surveyed other directions of the battlefield, ¡°That Blood Cloth is tough to handle, full of vitality, and it seems Ye An can¡¯t subdue him either; Li Yuan¡¯s strength¡­ is surprisingly powerful.¡±


    ¡°In theory, eighteen Semi-Divine Peaks should be enough to overwhelm the other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°But Li Yuan alone is engaging three Semi-Divine Peaks,¡± Hemu Semi-Divine shook his head, ¡°That Spirit Beast of Li Yuan¡¯s is extremely fast, drifting through every area of the battlefield, aiding everywhere.¡±


    ¡°The other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization seem to all have defensive Divine Artifacts, their defensive powers are quite astonishing,¡± Hemu Semi-Divine felt a headache coming on, ¡°With the numerical advantage, they have managed to hold back the others.¡±


    One couldn¡¯t know without clashing.


    But in true combat, the strength of the Seven Star Civilization was much more formidable than he had anticipated.


    ¡°Should we retreat?¡± Hemu Semi-Divine immediately used communicative means to relay the message to his own divine being.


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Demon Mountain Star.


    Above the entrance to the Star Realm, spanning over a hundred kilometers in diameter.


    ¡°The means left behind by Dongfang Ji are truly troublesome! This Origin Power Array probably rivals the ¡®Myriad Demons Array¡¯ left by the Ancestor,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity frowned.


    Three Divine entities had been waiting here, with several massive light screens before them.


    They were displaying the ongoing conflict with the Demigod combatants of the Myriad Demons Civilization,


    Enabling the three Divine entities to analyze the battle situation.


    ¡°The growth rate of both Li Yuan and Fang Hai is astonishing,¡± the Bei Yue Deity said. ¡°Fang Hai is formidable, which is one thing, but his realm shouldn¡¯t be that high yet, not having reached the Seventh Stage High Rank¡­ It¡¯s just that his foundation is strong and his Divine Artifact is special.¡±


    ¡°That Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°According to the communication from the Semi-Divine Pu Ren who fought with him, his Spear Technique is feared to be on par with the Seventh Stage High Rank,¡± the Bei Yue Deity whispered. ¡°He¡¯s just in the Flying Heaven Realm, but he already possesses the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak. With the Formation¡¯s enhancement, he¡¯s even close to the Semi-Divine Limit. What would become of him once he breaks through and becomes Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°This Li Yuan, his Comprehension is truly high,¡± the East Demon Deity also frowned.


    They all felt troubled.


    Originally, they thought that with Dongfang Ji¡¯s departure, the Seven Star Civilization would be completely defeated in one fell swoop, even possibly leading to the deaths of Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    But now, how would they kill them?


    ¡°Don¡¯t be disheartened, at least we now see the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s hidden strength,¡± the Qiong Jin Deity said. ¡°What we need to decide now is whether to retreat first or to commit more forces?¡±


    The Bei Yue Deity looked to the Wan Mo Deity.


    Now, even though the battlefield was in a stalemate, it was important to remember that the forces the Myriad Demons Civilization had deployed were only a small part.


    ¡°Retreat?¡±


    The East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flickered with intent; his original desire was to use this force to break through the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s defenses¡­ Then, they could probe whether Dongfang Ji was still alive.


    If he was, the losses would be within an acceptable range.


    But now, less than half the number of Semi-Divine combatants from the Seven Star Civilization had held back his Vanguard Army.


    ¡°The Seven Star Civilization should not have just this level of resources,¡± the East Demon Deity frowned.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Not good!¡± the Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s face changed slightly. ¡°How could this be! So many Semi-Divine Puppets!¡±


    ¡°Each one is terrifyingly powerful, all at the Semi-Divine Peak,¡± the Bei Yue Deity¡¯s face also changed slightly. ¡°There are far too many of them.¡±


    They had received a message.


    It was a plea for help!


    ¡°Is this the card Dongfang Ji left behind?¡±


    ¡°The emergence of two Semi-Divine Limit Experts should warrant Dongfang Ji¡¯s intervention, justifying his arrangement for this occasion.¡±


    ¡°But he has yet to show himself, so he¡¯s probably dead,¡± the East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes were cold as he finally made a decision. ¡°If we don¡¯t rescue them, we are likely to lose a large number of Semi-Divine Peak combatants. Attack! Let¡¯s take a gamble!¡±


    Fueling an ongoing assault is a forbidden tactic in war, a fact that the East Demon Deity well understood.


    Having made his decision, it was clear that he intended to commit fully to the battle.


    Whoosh!


    The East Demon Deity waved his hand, and immediately hundreds of figures appeared, each emanating the aura of a Semi-Divine being.


    They were the Semi-Divine army previously gathered by the East Demon Deity.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    ¡°Head immediately to the Seven Star Civilization and fight with all your might; annihilate them,¡± commanded the East Demon Deity.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    ¡°Attack!¡± ¡°Move!¡± Several Responsible Semi-Divine Peak Experts immediately summoned their Warships, following which the Warships gathered up the crowd of Semi-Divine combatants and shot like beams of light into the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    However, it would take a significant amount of time for these Semi-Divine reinforcements to arrive.


    ¡­


    In the Feixing, within the area covered by the Origin Power Array.


    As the battle reached a certain intensity, Fang Hai¡¯s voice rang out in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Li Yuan, I¡¯ve begun to divide these Alien Race Semi-Divine beings, and they are now quite far from the Star Realm Passage. It¡¯s about time we made our move.¡±


    ¡°Understood, Principal,¡± replied Li Yuan.


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets dressed in black Combat Armor calmly waited there.


    Dongfang Ji had left a total of forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets.


    Twenty were controlled by Fang Hai, and the other twenty were controlled by Li Yuan, alternating control to spread the risk¡­ Very few knew of this hidden force.


    Only Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Lant were aware.


    Before the battle, as part of the core circle, they had already agreed that this hidden force should not be revealed lightly and that once it was unleashed, it must deal a significant blow to the enemy.


    Ideally, it should severely deter the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    If they deployed this force at the beginning of the encounter, it would only intimidate the Vanguard Army of the Myriad Demons Civilization, who might then directly flee through the Star Realm Passage¡­ But after fighting this long, without them noticing, Li Yuan and Fang Hai had already reached directly above the Star Realm Passage.


    Conversely, many Semi-Divine beings from the Myriad Demons Civilization had already flown beyond the range of the Star Realm Passage.


    The time had come.


    ¡°Strike! To battle!¡± Li Yuan thought, and instantly, the twenty Semi-Divine Puppets in the hall exploded with powerful auras, fully activated and operational, and were immediately teleported by Li Yuan to the outside world.


    Almost simultaneously.


    Fang Hai also teleported the other twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets to the outside world.


    This was a terrifying force capable of changing the course of battle!

 Chapter 713: 384: Heavy Casualties! This is War

    Chapter 713: Chapter 384: Heavy Casualties! This is War


    Demon Mountain Star, the three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization all waited here, watching the battle all along.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°East Demon, have you ordered the other Star Realms to launch their attacks?¡± Bei Yue Deity¡¯s expression shifted slightly as if she had received a message.


    ¡°Now that the probing is over and we¡¯ve opted for all-out war, naturally, all the Third Level Star Realms don¡¯t have to hold back any longer,¡± the East Demon Deity said softly. ¡°They are just support but can also deal a certain amount of damage to the Seven Stars Civilization and even tie down some Semi-Divines, preventing them from daring to head to Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Mm,¡± Bei Yue Deity sighed softly. ¡°I just don¡¯t know how many will die in this war.¡±


    She seemed to see, within the many Third Level Star Realms shared by the Seven Stars Civilization and Myriad Demons Civilization, the Flying Heaven Realm Martial Artists engaging in frenzied combat, countless lives falling.


    ...


    ¡°For civilization.¡±


    ¡°A minor loss is nothing to mention.¡± S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Even if they don¡¯t die on the battlefield, they will eventually die there,¡± the East Demon Deity said indifferently. ¡°Even if half the Demigods are killed or injured and all the Flying Heaven Realm fall¡­ the remaining Demigods will still be enough to bring back ample treasures from the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.¡±


    ¡°As long as we deities live, after a few hundred years, the number of experts in our civilization will naturally recover to normal.¡±


    Qiong Jin Deity was very calm; four thousand years of cultivation had shown him too much life and death. Most of the disciples he had taken in had died of old age before him¡­


    Bei Yue Deity had a hint of reluctance in her eyes; after all, she was the youngest of the three deities.


    ¡°Bad news, Pu Ren is in danger. Those Semi-Divine Peak Puppets are too formidable,¡± Bei Yue Deity focused on the distant huge screens.


    Many screens were shaking, clearly, the Semi-Divines conveying the messages were struggling to hold on.


    ¡­


    Time returned to half a minute before on Feixing, under the envelopment of the Origin Power Array.


    The fierce battle between the two sides had been deadlocked, with neither side able to gain an absolute advantage.


    In some sense, the army of the Myriad Demons Civilization had the upper hand.


    After all, the experts they dispatched were all at the level of Semi-Divine Peak.


    While the Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization, even with the Origin Power Array support, were only comparable in power on a basic level and were completely outdone in techniques.


    However, the Seven Stars Civilization had more Semi-Divine numbers, coupled with Liu Bing¡¯s insane support; under the array¡¯s enhancement, her flying speed was more than twice that of other Semi-Divines.


    Twice the speed, what did that mean?


    In life-and-death combat, a 10% difference in speed was already significant. Being so much faster allowed Liu Bing to freely support the entire field.


    On the other hand, her strength was also enough.


    ¡°Ha ha, big brother, originally, using the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, my foundation was just comparable to level 41, but with this formation¡¯s support, I can fully match level 44,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s Soul Transmission Sound said.


    And Liu Bing¡¯s Law Comprehension, among the Semi-Divine Peak experts, was among the very best.


    She also possessed several Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifacts, especially one offensive Artifact, which took her attack power to the Semi-Divine Peak level, capable of contending with each opponent.


    ¡°Li Yuan¡¯s Spirit Beast is too amazing.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, yet able to burst forth with Semi-Divine Peak strength, its speed is also terrifying.¡±


    ¡°In terms of attack, not up to Vice Alliance Hierarch, but the speed is too terrifying, the restraining effect it produced, not the slightest less than Vice Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Without this Flying Serpent, we absolutely couldn¡¯t withstand the attacks of over a dozen Semi-Divine Peak experts,¡± the Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization were both shocked and relieved.


    Just then¡ª¡ª


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!¡­ Beside Li Yuan and Fang Hai, one figure after another, emanating powerful auras, began to appear.


    There were fully forty figures, each one¡¯s aura terrifying, and bringing them together was even more disastrous.


    Wild auras caused the entire battlefield to quiet down for a moment.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Peak?¡±


    ¡°No, not lifeforms! They¡¯re puppets, Combat Puppets.¡± Whether it was Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, San Ye Semi-Divine, and other Seven Stars Civilization powerhouses, or Pu Ren Semi-Divine, Hemu Semi-Divine, and other Myriad Demons Civilization powerhouses, they were all somewhat shocked.


    If it were just the numbers, it would still be manageable.


    The key was that the aura emitted by each Puppet was too terrifying, where had these come from?


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Fight for the master, exterminate the Alien Race!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± The Semi-Divine Puppets, each holding a giant sword and emanating a surging aura, focused on their respective targets: ¡°Those who dare offend the master, must be killed! Kill! Kill! Kill!¡±


    Boom Boom Boom!


    They saw up to forty figures moving at once, their bodies igniting with black light, their speed skyrocketing, charging directly at the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Semi-Divines.


    ¡°Was it the Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch that summoned them?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the force of my Seven Stars Civilization!!¡±


    ¡°Ha ha ha, too awesome.¡±


    ¡°I love it.¡± The powerhouses of the Seven Stars Civilization were utterly excited. They never imagined that their side had such a horrifying hidden force; not a hint of it had leaked before.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°So many Semi-Divine Peak Puppets?¡±


    ¡°How can the Seven Stars Civilization possess so many formidable Puppets?¡± Hemu Semi-Divine, Ye An Semi-Divine, their expressions all changed.


    Before the battle.


    They did everything possible, secretly communicated with some Semi-Divines of the Seven Stars Civilization, used controlled Flying Heaven Martial Artists spies to gather intelligence¡­ but only knew that the Seven Stars Civilization had an Origin Power Array, its power unknown.


    As for Semi-Divine Peak Puppets? They found nothing at all.


    Clearly, this was the most secret force of the Seven Stars Civilization¡­ it was for this critical moment to strike them hard.


    In life-and-death battles, the worst thing is for the enemy to have hidden forces.


    Like this time, if they knew that the Seven Stars Civilization had so many Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, the East Demon Deity definitely wouldn¡¯t have just used the forces present for probing, at least twenty more Semi-Divine Peak experts would have been dispatched.

    ¡°`


    Or simply abandon the probing and launch a full-scale invasion.


    ¡°Retreat! Retreat!¡± commanded Ye An Semi Divine in an anxious voice that echoed in the minds of every demigod within the Myriad Demons Civilization, ¡°Don¡¯t engage in combat, fall back to the Demon Mountain Star Realm, where they don¡¯t have their Origin Power Array.¡±


    But would Li Yuan and Fang Hai allow them to have their way?


    Having waited so long, they were intent on cutting off the escape route of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s vast army.


    ¡°Boom, boom, boom~¡± Twenty of the Semi-Divine Peak Puppets formed an imposing formation, effectively blocking the entry and exit points of the Demon Mountain Star Realm.


    ...


    They held back from attacking, ready to launch long-range assaults instead, preventing the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s experts from drawing close.


    Bear in mind, that the entire Star Realm¡¯s entry point was less than a hundred kilometers in diameter.


    Such a small area, defended by twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets? More than enough.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Charge!¡±


    ¡°Entangle them, don¡¯t let them escape.¡± The demigods of the Seven Star Civilization were frenzied, seeing the hope of slaying the demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Another twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, ten of which were supporting other demigods, engaged in ferocious combat time and again.


    The last ten were each following Li Yuan and Fang Hai, attacking their respective opponents.


    ¡°Sea Chanting Realm!¡±


    Fang Hai swung his Combat Saber, unleashing his strongest move once again. The saber light flooded like a torrent, and even as Hemu Semi Divine frantically dodged, he was struck yet again. The ground beneath his feet seemed to grow marshy, and his speed was sharply reduced once more.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡± Five Semi-Divine Puppets each brandished their Divine Swords, attacking Hemu Semi Divine from different directions.


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Hemu Semi Divine roared angrily, swinging his Divine Staff powerfully to collide with the Divine Swords streaking across the vast sky.


    Every clash resulted in astounding shockwaves. Hemu Semi Divine stood unshaken, while the Semi-Divine Puppets were sent flying backward.


    ¡°The Semi-Divine Limit is indeed troublesome,¡± Fang Hai admitted without much concern. He had never intended to defeat Hemu Semi Divine with just the five Semi-Divine Puppets¡ªit was merely additional restraint.


    Ultimately, victory and defeat would still hinge on his own strength.


    After all, the gap between the Semi-Divine Peak and the Semi-Divine Limit was huge.


    Typically, a demigod who had reached level 45 and who could master two Sixth Layer Star Techniques, coupled with a Seventh Stage Intermediate Rank Law Comprehension, could be considered a Semi-Divine Peak.


    However, to attain the Semi-Divine Limit, not only must one¡¯s Origin Power cultivation reach level 46 and control Seventh Layer Star Techniques, but one¡¯s Law Comprehension must also reach the Seventh Stage High Rank, in addition to possessing a superior Pseudo-God Artifact that complements oneself¡­ Only then could one be acknowledged as a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.


    Like the Vanguard Army of the Myriad Demons Civilization, six of the demigods had Six Star Pulses, with their Origin Power cultivated to level 46.


    But among them, only Hemu Semi Divine and Ye An Semi Divine could be called Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    The other four level 46 experts were still categorized as Semi-Divine Peak.


    Fang Hai compensated for his lack of Law Comprehension with the Ninth Layer Star Technique, plus the empowerment from the Divine Artifact and the Origin Power Array¡­ Only then could he overpower Hemu Semi Divine.


    Without the Origin Power Array, Fang Hai¡¯s strength was only comparable to that of Hemu Semi Divine.


    ¡­Hemu Semi Divine was able to withstand the frenzied attacks from Fang Hai and five Semi-Divine Peak experts.


    Ye An Semi Divine was even handling it with ease.


    But the other demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization were in a dire situation, especially the three facing Li Yuan.


    These three were already at a deadlock with Li Yuan, and now with the addition of a troop of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, they couldn¡¯t hold out any longer.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan led the five Puppets and drove them back without a chance to resist, forcing them to retreat step by step.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan wielded his Long Spear, exerting himself to unleash his killing moves. He was well aware that this was the critical point for turning the tide.


    ¡°In terms of strength, only the Principal and Blood Cloth Semi-Divine are superior to me,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze was ice-cold: ¡°But they are contending with Semi-Divine Limit Experts¡­ I must break the stalemate.¡±


    Forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, if they strike, they must achieve results.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± Four Semi-Divine Peak Puppets joined forces and, in the blink of an eye, completely suppressed the level 46 demigod wielding the God Lock Hammer. No one was left to aid Pu Ren Semi Divine.


    ¡°This is bad.¡± Pu Ren Semi Divine sensed the danger, panicking and trying to flee.


    Boom!


    A blue streak cut across the Vast Sky, unmistakably Liu Bing responding to Li Yuan¡¯s transmission and swooping in for the kill.


    With wings that shadowed the sky, they slashed like two massive Combat Sabers against Pu Ren Semi Divine¡¯s own saber.


    ¡°Quell! Heaven and Earth River!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s body suddenly burst forth with light, finally unleashing another one of his Nine Layer Star Techniques. Streams of light like rivers enveloped Pu Ren Semi Divine, causing his speed to drop sharply once more.


    This Domain Star Technique, when combined with the might of the Origin Power Array, provided an exaggerated level of binding capability.


    ¡°Help me, quick!¡±


    ¡°Save me!¡± Pu Ren Semi Divine sent out frantic transmissions. He knew the gap between his strength and Li Yuan¡¯s.


    And now, he faced not only a Semi-Divine Puppet but also the aid of Liu Bing.


    Yet, with forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, such a fearsome force joining the fray, the other demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization could hardly fend for themselves, let alone come to his rescue?


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The Divine Spear made a Straight Thrust. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Huff!¡± Claws howled through the air.


    And a Divine Sword was also on the attack.


    Despite Pu Ren Semi Divine¡¯s desperate defenses, he only managed to withstand a few strikes before he was forced onto the back foot, passively receiving blows. Each hit caused his Life Breath to diminish rapidly, his bodily wounds deepening and his own resisting force weakening further.


    In the blink of an eye, after a dozen or so strikes.


    ¡°Pfft!¡±


    A beam of Spear Light pierced through the skull, stabbing directly into his brow. The terrifying might within the Spear Light instantly obliterated his mind, as his soul rapidly began to dissipate.


    ¡°No!!¡± Pu Ren Semi Divine¡¯s eyes were filled with unwillingness, but his Life Breath was steadily fading away.

 Chapter 715: 384 Devastating Casualties! This is War_3

    Chapter 715: Chapter 384 Devastating Casualties! This is War_3


    In the Semi-Divine Realm, the body has almost no weaknesses; even if the heart shatters or the skull fractures, the powerful Origin Power swiftly heals it.


    Thus, there are only three ways to kill a demigod.


    The first is to use an overwhelming attack, repeatedly bombarding the body until it can no longer withstand and collapses, but the difficulty is too high¡­ unless there is a huge gap in strength, it usually takes hundreds to thousands of exchanges.


    The second is to attack its skull, the residence of the soul, which is the only weakness of a demigod. This is the most common method of killing.


    The third, soul eradication, is the most difficult.


    ¡°Demigod Peak, truly hard to kill,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself. ¡°But still, I managed to kill one.¡±


    ...


    Li Yuan glanced sideways at the Divine Palace panel.


    [You have killed a Fourth Rank life, obtained Spirituality Nourishment, and your Spiritual Awakening Level has reached 76.3%]


    ¡°Killing a Semi-Divine Peak Expert seems to yield considerably more Spirituality Nourishment than killing an ordinary demigod,¡± a thought flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    The last time on Lantie Star, the three demigods he had killed had just broken through to Level 40, their strength much weaker.


    ¡°I¡¯ll research it later.¡±


    Li Yuan suppressed the many thoughts in his mind, waved his hand to collect many demigods left by Pu Ren, and transmitted his voice, ¡°Little Ice, continue to attack other demigods with me.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Bing replied excitedly. As a Divine Beast, she inherently loved battling.


    Every powerful race had transformed into such through countless battles among blood and fire.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan has killed a demigod,¡± San Ye Semi Divine and Blood Cloth Semi-Divine both showed a trace of joy.


    They had finally killed one.


    ¡°Pu Ren is dead?¡±


    ¡°So quickly, we have lost one?¡± The demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization, having sensed the fall of Pu Ren, were somewhat panicked.


    It seemed only one had fallen.


    But with the death of Pu Ren Semi Divine in battle, this powerful demigod, Li Yuan, would be able to deal with other demigods¡­ The situation would only get worse.


    In warfare, it is never simply a straightforward exchange.


    Once one side gains even a slight advantage, with the passage of time, the advantage would continuously expand, ultimately snowballing easily.


    ¡°What should we do?¡± S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The group of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets and Fang Hai have blocked the passage. We simply can¡¯t break through.¡±


    ¡°Under the Origin Power Array, their flying speed is also faster,¡± these demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization panicked.


    They had all tried.


    This Origin Power Array, they absolutely couldn¡¯t break through a range of three hundred kilometers; the outermost part had extremely strong First Layer Defense, exceptionally tough¡­ The only retreat path was also blocked.


    Even the powerful Hemu Semi Divine couldn¡¯t break through the defense of Fang Hai and a group of Semi-Divine Puppets.


    If this continued, they would be slaughtered to the last.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°Try to hold out together,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said anxiously, ¡°The Eastern Demon Deity has already sent a message; the Demigod army has set out and is rushing at full speed to support us.¡±


    ¡°Five minutes, and they¡¯ll be here.¡±


    Five minutes? This group of Myriad Demons Civilization demigods felt like spitting blood hearing this; in a life-or-death struggle, every second is crucial.


    But such was the situation.


    If they couldn¡¯t hold out, they would die!


    ¡°Join forces.¡±


    ¡°Gather together, join forces to defend; the chances of holding out will be greater.¡± These Myriad Demons Civilization demigods tried their best to gather.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Exterminate them!¡± The Seven Stars Civilization demigods, on the other hand, were in high spirits, especially Li Yuan and Liu Bing. The two of them moved extremely fast, unrestrained by anyone. Together with a large number of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, they were like entering a realm of no resistance, crazily attacking.


    ¡°Perish.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Spear thrust out again, the Spear Light swept through the Vast Sky, suddenly splitting into nine, enigmatically and directly dodging that huge War Hammer, piercing the opponent¡¯s skull.


    Another demigod, dead!


    Time ticked away by the second, and despite resisting with all their might, the Myriad Demons Civilization demigods continued to fall.


    In a very short period, five had already fallen.


    Three of them were slain by Li Yuan.


    The advantage further expanded.


    ¡°Be careful, Qinghe Semi Divine,¡± Li Yuan and Blood Cloth Semi Divine both changed expressions.


    Two Myriad Demons Civilization demigods, suddenly erupting amidst being surrounded, ignored other attacks altogether and attacked Qinghe Semi Divine with insane fervor.


    One of them, bearing the brunt of overwhelming attacks, deployed a Binding Divine Artifact and instantly entangled Qinghe Semi Divine.


    The other demigod, also sparing no cost, used the Escaping Method Star Technique, approached like lightning, and then his body burst into terrifying flames, his Life Breath rapidly dissipating, but the aura of that flame kept soaring¡­ This flame contained terrifying might.


    The flames directly enveloped Qinghe Semi Divine!


    ¡°It¡¯s Devouring Divine Fire!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s actually this Fifth Layers Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°No good!¡± Although the Seven Stars Civilization army held an absolute advantage, the opponent¡¯s dying counterattack came too swiftly; in just one second, even Liu Bing couldn¡¯t rush to the rescue.


    ¡°Hissss~¡± In the blink of an eye, even though Qinghe Semi Divine was supported by the Origin Power Array, his body was instantly annihilated; the opposing demigod died even sooner.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Tianhuo Semi Divine was immensely furious; he and Qinghe Semi Divine were close friends.


    ¡°Qinghe!¡±


    ¡°Everyone, be more careful.¡± The other Seven Stars Civilization demigods were also anxious and furious.


    ¡°Qinghe Semi Divine,¡± Li Yuan sighed internally. Although he was only on general terms with Qinghe Semi Divine, being a part of the Seven Stars Civilization, he naturally felt quite saddened.


    It was just that, the burst was too rapid.


    ¡°Devouring Divine Fire,¡± a rather reputed Star Technique, it was just a Fifth Layers Star Technique, but when combined with the application of a secret technique, it possessed terrifying might¡­ that instant of eruption was absolutely close to the burst of a Nine Layers Star Technique.


    Only two issues.


    First, it requires a very high level of comprehension of the Fire Law.


    Second, this Star Technique, once used, burns the Life Origin, truly a death-defying technique¡­ if used for slightly longer, it results in demise.


    Qinghe Semi Divine, initially only a Semi-Divine Initial Rank¡­ facing a top-echelon demigod employing ¡°Devouring Divine Fire,¡± even with the support of the Origin Power Array, couldn¡¯t hold out for long.


    Such is war.

    Chapter 716: Chapter 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!


    ¡°Uh? The reinforcements from the Myriad Demons Civilization, have they arrived?¡± Li Yuan sensed strong forces of heaven and earth at the entrance of the Star Realm, and he couldn¡¯t help but glance over.


    The speed of the enemy reinforcements was faster than Li Yuan had anticipated.


    ¡°The principal and the others are still trying to block them.¡± Li Yuan looked towards Fang Hai and the twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets who had not yet taken the initiative to attack; their bodies were surrounded by golden light.


    It was the Origin Power Array.


    Endless surging golden light gathered from thousands of kilometers around in the void, forming an extremely terrifying cloud of golden light. This cloud of golden light, imbued with fearsome might, blocked the entrance to the Star Realm.


    A few minutes earlier.


    ...


    The demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization had tried time and again to break through the golden light cloud, but none were successful, not even with the combined efforts of Blood Cloth Semi-Divine and Ye An Semi-Divine, as Fang Hai blocked them.


    In the end, they were trapped in this narrow area, unable to escape, and could only desperately fend off the attacks of the Seven Stars Civilization¡¯s army.


    But now.


    Terrifying fluctuations were coming from the other side, attacking the golden light cloud and also attacking Fang Hai and the twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets guarding the passage.


    ¡°The reinforcements have arrived.¡±


    ¡°Hold on!!¡±


    ¡°Just hold on for a moment longer, and we can start the counterattack. The Divine have already commanded the entire army to kill here.¡±


    At this moment, the demigods of the Seven Stars Civilization were tense, while the remaining five powerful experts of the Myriad Demons Civilization were incredibly excited.


    Their losses were too severe.


    You should know, as the vanguard, they had all been bestowed with Divine Artifacts, and each of them was a Semi-Divine Peak¡­ in terms of strength, actually not inferior to Li Yuan, some even comparable to the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine.


    Without the help of a formation, this vanguard could have easily slaughtered the demigods of the Seven Stars Civilization.


    However, in this battle, they were first suppressed by the Origin Power Array, then by the dozens of additional Semi-Divine Puppets.


    They were being slaughtered one by one.


    In less than five minutes, thirteen Semi-Divine Peak experts had fallen, only managing to kill two Seven Stars Semi-Divine¡­ the dead, were also only Semi-Divine Initial Rank.


    The truly powerful demigods of the Seven Stars Civilization, they hadn¡¯t managed to kill even one.


    Now, they had finally held on until the reinforcements arrived.


    ¡°Quick.¡±


    ¡°There are too many enemy demigods, over three hundred now, the Alliance Hierarch and the others won¡¯t last long, try to slaughter two more demigods.¡± Lant Semi-Divine said urgently, ¡°Killing one more will lessen our pressure significantly later on.¡±


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± In the void, the demigods and Semi-Divine Puppets of the Seven Stars Civilization were all exerting their utmost strength, attacking Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine.


    Only, those who could survive the siege of a large group of demigods, were the remaining five demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Besides two Semi-Divine Limit Experts, the rest were level 46, and all had extremely strong survival capabilities.


    ¡°Eternal Night Realm!¡± Ye An Semi-Divine was suspended in the void, having already deployed his strongest technique.


    Swish, swish, swish~ Endless surges of Origin Power, along with nine huge bronze ancient mirrors, together condensed to form a dark world encompassing over ten kilometers.


    These nine bronze ancient mirrors, each taken out separately were quite ordinary, the kind of ordinary Divine Artifact¡­ but when combined, they could achieve a perfect integration.


    It was also quite in tune with his ultimate technique.


    Seven Layer Star Technique¡ª¡±Eternal Night Realm¡±!


    With Ye An Semi-Divine at the core, the nine Divine Artifact Ancient Mirrors as support, the might erupted, managing to negate a large portion of the Origin Power Array¡¯s suppressing force.


    Beams of dark light shot out, at first glance, it looked like a vast darkness!


    ¡°Roar!¡±


    ¡°Roar!¡± Each of those roaring Semi-Divine Puppets, whenever they swung their Divine Swords to try and penetrate, also suffered attacks from the dark light, but with the strength of these Semi-Divine Puppets, they could easily resist.


    However, the closer they got to Ye An Semi-Divine, the stronger the suppression the Semi-Divine Puppets experienced.


    ¡°Blood Demon!¡± Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, his body surrounded by numerous blood and golden lights, battle spirit soaring, once again deployed his attacking Star Technique, his pair of large hands like two blood-red clouds, repeatedly cleaving the dark light apart, attempting to attack Ye An Semi-Divine. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Divine Wood Forest!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine, his body ablaze with flames, stood right in front of Ye An Semi-Divine, incredibly dazzling within the dark world, swung the Divine Staff in his hands time after time.


    With each swing, it was as if the heavens and the earth were splitting apart, the Power of Heaven and Earth surged wildly, knocking the Blood Cloth Semi-Divine back.


    The attacks of the Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, though occasionally hitting Hemu Semi-Divine, were directly withstood by him.


    ¡°It¡¯s too difficult to kill.¡±


    ¡°Are Semi-Divine Limit Experts all this terrifying?¡± The demigods of the Seven Stars Civilization all felt their hearts quivering and their heads aching.


    Like the Snow Dragon Demigod, Flame City Demigod, San Ye Demigod, and others, even with the enhancement of the Origin Power Array, their strength was not even close to the Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, posing even lesser threats.


    In the past, they knew the Semi-Divine Limit Experts were formidable, but only through a real fight to the death did they understand how terrifying they were.


    If not for the suppression of the Origin Power Array making it impossible for them to escape, one Semi-Divine Limit Expert defeating more than ten Semi-Divine Peak experts was quite normal.


    In fact, if it wasn¡¯t for Fang Hai¡¯s Sword Technique being too tricky, always guarding the entrance to the Star Realm, Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine would have already escaped.


    In another direction in the dark world.


    ¡°Swish, swish, swish!¡± Streaks of Spear Light howled, Li Yuan sometimes transformed into nine figures, sometimes merged mysteriously, furiously attacking the three Wan Mo demigods not far away.


    Their strength, all comparable to Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, yet extremely embarrassed under Li Yuan¡¯s attacks.


    Besides Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and many other Semi-Divine Puppets, were also furiously attacking, striving to create opportunities for Li Yuan.

    ¡°Not good!¡± A burly demigod wielding a sword and shield suddenly let out a terrified roar; he had just been knocked back by Liu Bing¡¯s attack, at the moment when his old strength had faded and new strength had not yet arisen.


    ¡°Thud!¡±


    A long spear penetrated his chest, followed by the spear tip violently shaking. It then forcefully tore upward from his chest, drilling directly into his skull¡­ The head exploded.


    Dead!

    ¡°Only four left.¡± The other demigods of the Seven Star Civilization were incredibly excited and looked at Li Yuan with great admiration.


    ...


    Throughout the fierce battle between the great armies, Fang Hai was the strongest, but most of his energy was focused on guarding the entrance to the Star Realm. Blood Cloth Semi-Divine was restraining the Semi-Divine Limit Expert¡­ Yet, the one who had killed the most enemies was Li Yuan.


    His Spear Technique was too unpredictable.


    ¡°Jian Qian is also dead.¡±


    ¡°That damned Li Yuan.¡± Hemu Semi-Divine and Ye An Semi-Divine also saw this scene, their hearts filled with anger but also a sense of powerlessness.


    Although the two of them were strong, they were already struggling to hold on against the siege of so many experts, with no chance to spare any attention to the rescue.


    However.


    Li Yuan, who had just slain another demigod, felt little joy in his heart.


    His gaze flicked to the distance.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Tens of kilometers away at the entrance to the Star Realm, the shaking was even more violent. The converging golden light was dissipating, clearly near collapse, and it wouldn¡¯t hold much longer.


    ¡°It¡¯s too late.¡±


    ¡°I must use the killing move now.¡± Li Yuan had already made a decision in his heart. With a flip of his palm, a black crystal stone appeared in his palm. As Origin Power was infused into it, the crystal stone emitted a heartbeat-stopping aura.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°What is that?¡± Many people noticed this scene. Ye An Semi-Divine and Hemu Semi-Divine felt even more terrified, sensing a deadly threat.


    ¡°Big brother.¡± Liu Bing looked at Li Yuan in shock; she could feel the terror of the black crystal stone.


    ¡°Li Yuan, are you really going to use this secret treasure? This is something meant to save your life, and you want to use it here?¡± Gu You¡¯s anxious voice sounded: ¡°Even if you lose this battle, there¡¯s no threat to you. With Liu Bing¡¯s help, you can definitely leave unscathed.¡±


    ¡°I have no choice.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too hard to kill a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes showed determination: ¡°In this initial battle, we had the advantage of time and place, yet we lost two demigods¡­ If the Wan Mo army breaks through, hundreds of demigods led by two Semi-Divine Limit Experts¡­ We have no hope at all.¡±


    ¡°We must kill the Semi-Divine Limit Expert first.¡±


    ¡°Then, even if we lose this battle at the entrance to the Star Realm, if we retreat from Feixing¡­ with the principal¡¯s strength, we can hope to defeat the Wan Mo demigods one by one.¡± Li Yuan had already thought everything through.


    He had to take out their top-level combat power.


    Treasure?


    It¡¯s meant to be used at critical moments!


    ¡°Hum~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, he had already activated the black crystal stone.


    ¡°Rumble!¡±


    What seemed slow to describe was in fact the rapid exchange between Li Yuan and Gu You. The very next instant after Li Yuan took out the black crystal stone, he completely activated it.


    Terrifying might erupted, and behind him appeared a massive sun with a diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers, its light endless.


    Except that this sun was ¡®earthen yellow.¡¯


    At that moment, the entire heaven and earth seemed to be oppressed by the might emitted by this earthen yellow sun.


    Even the Origin Power Array that covered thousands of kilometers, and the Eternal Night Realm wielded by Ye An Semi-Divine, seemed to tremble.


    ¡°This power¡­¡±


    ¡°No wonder it was said that I had to cross into the Threshold of the Law of Earth to control it.¡± Li Yuan was incredibly shocked, feeling as though he bore the weight of an entire world.


    Absolute control! Unimaginably terrifying power!


    But precisely because this power was too strong, Li Yuan could barely control it, managing only a tenuous manipulation.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Struggling to maintain control, Li Yuan focused his will, setting his gaze toward Ye An Semi-Divine at the end of the void.


    In terms of attack power, Hemu Semi-Divine was stronger.


    But in terms of threat, Li Yuan deemed Ye An Semi-Divine to be even greater.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    The nearly thousand-kilometer-wide earthen yellow sun suddenly collapsed inward from the edge, like a black hole imploding; in an instant, it shrank to a mere point.


    That point burst forth instantly.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± A destructive beam of light, filled with annihilating essence, streaked across the heavens and earth. Terrifyingly fast, faster than any weapon, it headed straight for Ye An Semi-Divine, at the center of the Eternal Night Realm.


    Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!


    Countless dark beams roared, trying to block this earthen yellow light, but they were crushed effortlessly, unable to even slow it down.


    ¡°No!!¡± Madness shone in the eyes of Ye An Semi-Divine; he truly did not want to die.


    In this moment of life and death.


    ¡°Boundary Fire!¡±


    Hemu Semi-Divine, who had been struggling to defend, suddenly burst forth. In his palm appeared two flames emitting a powerful presence, which shot forth and became two dazzling fire dragons in the void.


    The might emitted by the fire dragons also made the present demigods tremble.


    This!


    Was the life-saving secret treasure given to Hemu Semi-Divine by the Eastern Demon Deity¡­ Such Law Treasures were generally crafted only by True Gods and were extremely valuable.


    Throughout the history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, True Gods of Wan Mo left behind over a dozen Law Treasures¡­ Over the long years, there were very few such treasures left.


    If not for the knowledge that Fang Hai and Li Yuan were difficult to deal with.


    The Eastern Demon Deity certainly would not have taken one out.


    According to the Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s intention, unless the two Semi-Divine Limit Experts faced life-threatening danger, there was no need to use it.


    ¡°This Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He really is extravagant! To actually have such exotic treasures.¡± Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s heart bled; such Law Treasures had the power to reach the Pseudo-God Level.

 Chapter 718: 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_3

    Chapter 718: Chapter 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_3


    Powerful enough to kill a Semi-Divine Limit Expert.


    One can imagine how precious it must be.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Two fire dragons, each a kilometer in length, roared as they circled each other at equally terrifying speeds, colliding head-on with the dazzling flow of light unleashed by Li Yuan!


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡±


    It was as though two Pseudo-Gods were clashing in combat; the horrifying aftermath instantly surged in all directions, shaking the heavens and earth, causing the Seven Stars Semi-Divine and Semi-Divine Puppets to be thrown into disarray.


    ¡°Rip!¡±


    ...


    Under this aftermath, even the Eternal Night Realm cast by Ye An Semi Divine was torn asunder, his aura greatly diminished.


    ¡°Thump!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine was also sent flying backward, but a hint of excitement and relief flickered across his face, ¡°It¡¯s blocked!¡±


    Had it not been blocked, Ye An Semi-Divine might have perished on the spot, and he too would have suffered great damage.


    ¡°Blocked?¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart sank to the depths, ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization, indeed, possesses similar Secret Treasures.¡±


    The Myriad Demons Civilization, after all, was a powerful civilization that had birthed True Gods; the existence of such treasures did not surprise him too much.


    However!


    He possessed only this single artifact of such might.


    Liu Bing did have one¡­ but this war had nothing to do with her, and Li Yuan was not going to insist she sacrifice her lifeline.


    ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom!¡±


    From the distant entrance of the Demon Mountain Star Realm, the cloud of Golden Light suddenly collapsed, the entire Origin Power Array trembling violently like an overturned sea.


    ¡°Thump! Thump! Thump!¡± Fang Hai, along with those twenty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, followed the collapse of the Golden Light cloud; they were struck and sent shooting into the sky, utterly disheveled.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Figures exuding potent auras emerged from the gateway of the star realm, each releasing a terrifying presence, their momentum unstoppable.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°The attack has finally commenced.¡±


    ¡°Haha, this is the Feixing of the Seven Star Civilization! Let the battle begin!¡± shouts of excitement echoed through the Vast Sky.


    Quantity leads to a qualitative change.


    As they gathered together, the mere invisible surge of Origin Power rendered the countless Golden Lights incapable of assaulting them.


    ¡°So many Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°Nearly four hundred, isn¡¯t that too many?¡± The hearts of the Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divine were thrown into a panic.


    Although they realized that not all these Semi-Divine could be at the Peak, even if they were only at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank, banded together, they would be a terrifying force.


    Not to mention, it was impossible for them all to be at the Semi-Divine Initial Rank.


    ¡°More than thirty at Semi-Divine Peak? Over two hundred Semi-Divine at Intermediate Rank,¡± Li Yuan also felt his heart sink.


    There were too many!


    Far beyond the limits of what the Seven Stars Civilization could withstand, even if there was an Origin Power Array, even if there were forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets¡ªit was hard to withstand such a formidable army of Semi-Divine.


    At this moment, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t see how to win this battle.


    Even if Liu Bing used those two ¡®Secret Treasures,¡¯ it would still be difficult to win¡­ The Demon Civilization could win by sheer numbers alone.


    ¡°Hahaha, reinforcements have arrived, Fang Hai, you are destined to lose! Once this Origin Power Array breaks down, let¡¯s see how you can continue to be arrogant!!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine was overwhelmed with excitement.


    But at that moment¡ª


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai, who had just been blasted into the air, suddenly made a move, a silver miniature sword materializing in the palm of his hand.


    Hum!


    The silvery glow of the miniature sword surged, countless tiny Secret Runes on its surface lighting up, unleashing a terrifying might that blossomed violently, no weaker than the might of the Black Crystal Stone Li Yuan had just used, perhaps even stronger.


    The oppressive force in the area surrounding Fang Hai became immensely terrifying.


    Whoosh!


    A tremendous sword Phantom seemed to be coalescing right in front of Fang Hai.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan held his breath. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Is that?¡±


    ¡°What is that?¡± The hearts of the Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divine filled with confusion, not understanding what the other was trying to do.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    A cold glint flashed in Fang Hai¡¯s eyes, and he ferociously swung the miniature sword in his palm. With a flash of the sword light, it shot directly towards Hemu Semi-Divine.


    This was his lifesaving trump card.


    He wouldn¡¯t want to use it unless absolutely necessary, but driven to this extremity, he had no choice.


    He had two options, one was to attack Hemu Semi-Divine, Ye An Semi-Divine.


    The second was to attack the hundreds of Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divine.


    Fang Hai¡¯s choice, like Li Yuan¡¯s, was to first eliminate the top combatants.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Hemu Semi-Divine was startled; the sword light cut across the heaven and earth, moving so swiftly he hardly had time to dodge and could only try to swing his Divine Staff in an attempt to block the strike.


    ¡°Converge!¡±


    Ye An Semi-Divine, despite his weakened state, exerted himself to reactivate his Domain, creating large amounts of black mist, trying to assist Hemu Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    As the sword light passed over, the vast black mist was cleaved in two, the staff carrying boundless might was violently knocked away, and Hemu Semi-Divine¡¯s body was directly torn apart by the sword light.


    The aftermath of the sword light completely shredded the two halves of his body, turning them into a sky of blood mist.


    Hemu Semi-Divine, this newly risen Semi-Divine Limit Expert of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Was dead!


    Receiving one Law Treasure from the Eastern Demon Deity was already a rare boon, almost impossible to be granted a second one.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The residual might of the sword light, roaring, continued to slash towards Ye An Semi-Divine not far away.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s face changed, ¡°Hemu perished in an instant, and now they want to kill me too?¡±


    Swoosh!


    Instantly, Ye An Semi-Divine transformed into a black streak of light, darting backward in an attempted escape from the dreadful sword.


    However, as fast as he was, the sword light was faster.


    But.


    Ye An Semi-Divine¡¯s goal was not to dodge, but rather¡ªto buy time, to find a scapegoat.


    ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!¡±


    As Fang Hai released the Secret Treasure, the vast army of Myriad Demons Civilization Semi-Divine also took action.


    But they were all far away, so they could only manipulate Origin Power to execute long-range attacks.

 Chapter 719: 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_4

    Chapter 719: Chapter 385: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai! Fang Hai!_4


    Semi-Divine beings, if they go all out, are able to project their Origin Power to strike over a hundred kilometers away.


    Of course, the further the distance, the more difficult it is to control the Origin Power, and the weaker its might becomes.


    Boom!


    One after another, streams of Origin Power light streaked across the Vast Sky, bombarding the fearsome sword light, only to be directly cleaved apart. However, the power contained within the sword light was also being continuously consumed.


    In an instant.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± The greatly weakened sword light finally descended upon the Ye An Semi Divine leader.


    ...


    ¡°Kill!¡± The Ye An Semi Divine also swung his Divine Artifact, desperately resisting, only to be sent flying backward, his arms unable to withstand the terrifying impact of might, bursting apart on the spot.


    The Divine Artifact was also thrown flying away.


    With one strike, even protected by a Divine Artifact, Ye An Semi Divine had already suffered heavy injuries, unable to recover in a short time.


    And the remaining might of that strand of sword light was also exhausted.


    ¡°I¡¯m not dead.¡±


    ¡°I survived.¡± Excitement flickered in Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s heart. What of serious injuries?


    As long as one lives, there is hope.


    ¡°I am seriously injured, my Origin Pills will not be able to recover shortly, and most of my Origin Power has been spent. My strength is now only equivalent to a Semi-Divine Peak.¡± Many thoughts flashed through Ye An Semi Divine¡¯s mind: ¡°I have performed enough¡­ Time to retreat and meditate.¡±


    Swoosh! He fled towards the Myriad Demons Civilization army like lightning.


    As long as he entered the Star Realm Passage, it would be impossible for anyone to catch up to him.


    ¡­


    One Secret Treasure had killed Hemu Semi-Divine, and severely injured Ye An Semi Divine, this was enough to astonish everyone.


    At least, for the short term, the Myriad Demons Civilization had lost two Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    Fang Hai had no time to chase after Ye An Semi Divine, because hundreds of Semi-Divine beings from the Myriad Demons, under the command of three divine beings, surged forward like a tide to attack from behind!


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Occupy Feixing, exterminate the Seven Star Civilization! Kill!¡±


    ¡°The divine beings have said, such a terrifying Secret Treasure, the Seven Star Civilization won¡¯t have many; they have already used two¡­¡± The Semi-Divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization, communicating with each other, rushed into battle.


    The Vanguard Army had already forced out the trump card tactics of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Two Semi-Divine Limit Experts paid with their lives, enticing out the trump card Secret Treasure of the Seven Star Civilization.


    Now, what did the Seven Star Civilization have left to defend with?


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Fang Hai¡¯s eyes gleamed with madness as he swung his Combat Saber, attacking the Myriad Demons Civilization army.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Brilliant saber light tore through the Vast Sky.


    ¡°Stop him.¡±


    ¡°Quick! Together!¡±


    ¡°This is the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s strongest, don¡¯t take him on alone.¡± Over ten Semi-Divine Peak Experts, thirty Semi-Divine Intermediate Rank Experts, united in a mighty charge, attacking from close and afar, using pure strength to block Fang Hai¡¯s assault with their overwhelming attacks.


    One by one, break them apart?


    The Semi-Divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization were also aware of this; they stayed close to one another, moving as large groups of Semi-Divine beings each time.


    While Fang Hai¡¯s attacks were strong, his Law Comprehension was not high enough, and his movement techniques and escaping skills were quite ordinary.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan and Liu Bing, too, were attacking desperately, attempting to kill more Myriad Demons Semi-Divines.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! A total of nine Myriad Demons Semi-Divine Peak Experts directly joined forces to attack, and although their individual strength was not equal to Li Yuan¡¯s, their combined attack¡­ had already reached the Semi-Divine Limit level, easily suppressing Li Yuan. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Liu Bing? Her advantage was her speed, but in a direct confrontation, she was only equivalent to a Semi-Divine Peak.


    As for the other Seven Stars Civilization Semi-Divines, they were even weaker.


    Thankfully!


    With the suppression of the Origin Power Array, and forty Semi-Divine Peak Puppets fearlessly resisting¡­ it allowed the Seven Stars Civilization army to avoid immediate collapse under the Myriad Demons Civilization army¡¯s assault.


    But without a doubt.


    Both Fang Hai and Li Yuan knew in their hearts¡­ when the Myriad Demons Civilization decided to fight to the last without any reservation, the outcome of this battle was almost predestined.


    The number of Semi-Divines on both sides was not on the same level.


    For a short while, relying on a large number of Semi-Divine Peak Puppets, they could hold off the enemy, but the energy reserve of the Semi-Divine Puppets had a limit¡­ once it was depleted, precious Divine Crystals would have to be used.


    How many Divine Crystals could the entire Seven Star Civilization have?


    Moreover.


    Even if the Semi-Divine Puppets could hold on, currently, the Seven Star Civilization was at an absolute disadvantage¡­ as time passed, they would be killed off one by one.


    Even the Semi-Divine Puppets could potentially be suppressed one by one.


    ¡°Are we really going to lose?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brimmed with madness, filled with unwillingness.


    ¡­


    Deep within Feixing, about a thousand kilometers from the Origin Power Array.


    A figure in Golden Garment stood silently waiting within a sealed Quiet Chamber.


    ¡°Old Yun, should I take action?¡± the Golden Garment figure asked somberly.


    ¡°No!¡±


    A white-robed Phantom within the chamber spoke softly, ¡°We haven¡¯t reached the true point of no return. Our master¡¯s objectives¡­ are not for you and me to surmise. Wait for orders.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m worried that if this continues, more Semi-Divines will die or be injured,¡± said the Golden Garment figure.


    ¡°Even if ten or twenty Semi-Divines die,¡± the white-robed Phantom shook its head, ¡°Without orders, we cannot intervene.¡±


    ¡°Sometimes, when it¡¯s time to let go, we must!¡± the white-robed Phantom whispered.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡­


    Inside the Origin Power Array.


    Under the relentless assault of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s army, even as the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s side fought with all its might, the defensive line was on the brink of collapse within a very short time.


    Casualties were finally occurring.


    ¡°Puchi!¡±


    A hammer blow sent a Combat Saber flying, followed by a lightning-quick spear thrust into the chest of a Flame City Semi-Divine, inflicting severe wounds.


    ¡°Ahh!¡± The Flame City Semi-Divine roared, his body ablaze with flames as he pushed his combat power to its Peak.


    But he was still completely overwhelmed by a group of surrounding Semi-Divines.


    This powerful Semi-Divine, infused with a portion of the True Phoenix Bloodline, rapidly approached life¡¯s end.


    ¡°Flame City!¡± Lant Semi-Divine, who was in charge of the array, sighed inwardly.


    These fallen Semi-Divines were all his juniors.


    ¡°Flame City Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Flame City.¡± Other Semi-Divines were equally anxious.


    ¡°Strength!¡±


    ¡°My strength is still far from sufficient. If I were to break through to Semi-Divine, maybe I could turn the tide of battle,¡± Li Yuan also felt a sense of powerlessness.

 Chapter 723 - 387 Origin Divine Artifact_3

    Many demigods suddenly realized.


    Suddenly,


    Whoosh! A figure with golden hair flashed by, it was Lant Semi-Divine: "Everyone, for the safety of our entire civilization, let¡¯s not talk about two or three years, even if it takes ten or twenty years, we must stay here."


    "Everyone should rest for now."


    "In a few days, once everyone has recovered from their injuries, we will hold a celebration banquet here," Lant Semi-Divine said.


    "Yes!" Many demigods nodded and then dispersed, not going far.


    Each found an area and began to meditate quietly.


    Only Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Lant Semi-Divine remained.


    "Principal, congratulations," Li Yuan said. "If I¡¯m not mistaken, your mastery of the sword technique has reached the Pseudo-God level."


    "Pseudo-God level?" Lant Semi-Divine was slightly surprised.


    "I knew I couldn¡¯t hide it from you," Fang Hai shook his head. "My comprehension of the law had just reached the Seventh Stage High Rank level. In terms of the true realm of law, you should be the highest within our civilization... I won¡¯t hide it from you, the reason I can unleash such powerful strength is because of this weapon in my hand."


    "Weapon?" Li Yuan curiously stared at the combat saber in Fang Hai¡¯s hand.


    During the recent fight, this combat saber had revealed terrifying might, but now it seemed very restrained.


    "It is an Origin Divine Artifact," Fang Hai stated directly. "It¡¯s something I brought from the Nine Leaves World, the specific effects... you will understand once you venture into the Nine Leaves World yourself."


    "Understood," Li Yuan nodded, memorizing the words "Origin Divine Artifact."


    Lant Semi-Divine stood by, looking confused.


    He had never ventured into the Nine Leaves World, but he had explored the Nine Mountains World. Origin Divine Artifact? What is that?


    He had never heard of it.


    But for Lant Semi-Divine, whether it was Fang Hai or Li Yuan, the stronger they were, the better.


    "Li Yuan," Lant Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan. "For a short time, the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s forces likely won¡¯t invade... You can¡¯t rest now, we need you to take action."


    "To rescue other planets?" A cold light flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    "Yes!" Lant Semi-Divine nodded. "We¡¯ve received distress signals from many planets, even from Feixing. Your three thousand Flying Heaven Puppets have been extremely effective."


    "But this invasion by the Myriad Demons Civilization prepared a vast force, with tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Realm fighters, utterly reckless," Lant Semi-Divine shook his head. "Even if the demigods of various planets desperately slaughter, with so many Flying Heaven Realm invaders at once, it¡¯s impossible to stop them all."


    "Up to now,"


    "Our Seven Star Civilization has killed over ten thousand Flying Heaven Alien Race members," Lant Semi-Divine solemnly said. "But still, thousands of Flying Heaven Alien Race have invaded... and foreseeably, even more will come."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Any Third Level Star Realm would dispatch a demigod to guard... but many realm entrances are vast, stretching hundreds of kilometers.


    Normally, many Flying Heaven Warriors patrol, on the alert with Origin Power Arrays.


    Thus, once a Flying Heaven invasion occurs, the guarding demigod can arrive within half a minute, enough to kill the invaders.


    But now!


    A Star Realm Passage, with hundreds to thousands of Flying Heaven Realm beings charging out... Even if a demigod could kill dozens to hundreds per strike, as long as one-tenth of the Flying Heaven Realm gets through the defense line, the total number is quite astonishing.


    "Alright."


    "I¡¯ll head back to Blue Star first, then enter the Wanhan Star Realm," Li Yuan said. "Little Ice will go to Heavenly Sea Star, then we will proceed with a large-scale sweep."


    The other demigods could only guard the entrances of the Third Level Star Realm.


    But Li Yuan and Liu Bing could directly invade the Third Level Star Realm... They could truly massacre large numbers of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    Absolutely invincible!


    There are very few demigods in the Third Level Star Realm, and even if they encounter a Semi-Divine Peak expert, Li Yuan and Liu Bing, with their strength, could fight alone.


    Semi-Divine Limit?


    How many Semi-Divine Limit Experts does the entire Myriad Demons Civilization have? Li Yuan didn¡¯t believe that such super powerful beings could emerge in the Third Level Star Realm.


    "Divine Liu Bing, I¡¯m sorry to trouble you," Lant Semi-Divine also bowed to Liu Bing.


    He was well aware that Liu Bing was the Heaven Snake, destined to become Divine... Even as Li Yuan¡¯s spirit beast, he deserved respect.


    Liu Bing nodded slightly, clearly enjoying the sensation. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    After Li Yuan communicated with Liu Bing, the man and beast quickly departed.


    ...


    In another Cave Heaven Treasure.


    This Cave Heaven Treasure, although not as good as Li Yuan¡¯s Ancient Divine Palace, was still a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact, obtained by Fang Hai in the Nine Leaves World.


    San Ye Semi-Divine sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, meditating and healing. Her previously broken arm had now fully recovered.


    Whoosh!


    A figure in black armor suddenly appeared.


    "San Ye, teacher," Fang Hai looked at San Ye Semi-Divine, feeling somewhat bewildered.


    "Fang Hai, thank you," San Ye Semi-Divine opened her eyes, "but back then, I was only following the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s orders to teach you for a while. You really don¡¯t have to keep calling me ¡¯teacher.¡¯"


    San Ye Semi-Divine¡¯s voice was very gentle.


    "Alright, then I¡¯ll just call you San Ye," Fang Hai flashed a slight smile, "Back then, when I encountered the assassination by the Alien Race, it was you who saved me."


    San Ye Semi-Divine paused.


    "Alright."


    "San Ye, you continue to heal. I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. If you want to leave the Cave Heaven Treasure, just send me a message," Fang Hai said, then disappeared within the Cave Heaven.


    ...


    Although the Seven Star Civilization lost three Semi-Divine beings, being able to hold their ground excited and thrilled everyone.


    However, the atmosphere was completely different for the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Demon Mountain Star.


    "We lost." Qiong Jin Deity shook his head and sighed, "Back then it was Dongfang Ji, this time it was Fang Hai, with so many dead and injured again... How could the Seven Star Civilization, which only rose a few hundred years ago, produce so many monstrous beings?"


    Qiong Jin Deity felt somewhat helpless.


    He had lived for thousands of years, dominating the Mortal Domain and witnessing the rise and fall of countless civilizations.


    But Li Yuan and Liu Bing could directly invade the Third Level Star Realm... completely capable of massacring vast numbers of the Flying Heaven Alien Race.


    They were absolutely invincible!


    There were already few Semi-Divine beings in the Third Level Star Realm, and even if they encountered a Semi-Divine Peak Expert, with the strength of Li Yuan and Liu Bing alone, they could still fight.


    Semi-Divine Limit?


    How many Semi-Divine Limit Experts existed in the entire Myriad Demons Civilization? Li Yuan did not believe that such super experts could emerge in the Third Level Star Realm.


    "Semi-Divine Liu Bing, I¡¯ve troubled you," Lant Semi-Divine also saluted Liu Bing.


    He knew well that Liu Bing was a Heaven Snake, destined to become a deity... Even Li Yuan¡¯s spirit beast needed to be respected.


    Liu Bing nodded slightly, thoroughly enjoying the sensation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    After sending a message to Liu Bing, Li Yuan and the beast quickly left.


    ...


    Inside another Cave Heaven Treasure.


    Although this Cave Heaven Treasure was not comparable to Li Yuan¡¯s Ancient Divine Palace, it was still a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact, acquired by Fang Hai in the Nine Leaves World.


    San Ye Semi-Divine was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, concentrating on healing. Her previously shattered arm had already been restored.


    Whoosh!


    A figure in black armor suddenly appeared.


    "San Ye, teacher," Fang Hai looked at San Ye Semi-Divine, feeling somewhat bewildered.

 Chapter 724 - 388: Demands of the Immortal Ruins! Decisive Battle

    "I heard that the Void Qianyuan Formation is one of the battle formations painstakingly brought from the Divine Realm by the ancestors of the Immortal Ruins Civilization," the Bei Yue Deity said softly.


    "This formation is a ¡¯mobile Origin Power Array,¡¯ allowing hundreds of Demigods to unite as one, achieving perfect synergy in their attacks... When hundreds of Demigods combine their attacks, if led by a powerful Demigod, it can completely unleash Pseudo-God level strength, making it invincible across the Fourth Level Star Realm," the Bei Yue Deity said. "Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization only deploys it at critical moments."


    "Such a formation, I have not heard of the Immortal Ruins Civilization lending it out," the Bei Yue Deity said, puzzled. "East Demon, how do you plan to borrow it?"


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization is immensely powerful, arguably the strongest force in the entire Mortal Domain... However, the Myriad Demons Civilization is not weak, either. They would not offend the other, but they also disdain submission.


    Moreover, over the long years, the two civilizations share a border in only one Third Level Star Realm.


    Thus, the two great civilizations have always maintained peace and a modest amount of trade.


    "It¡¯s not us who want to borrow it."


    "Instead, it¡¯s the Immortal Ruins Civilization taking the initiative to give it to us," the Eastern Demon Deity said, his eyes narrowing slightly.


    "Taking the initiative to give it?" Both the Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity were astonished and thought the Eastern Demon Deity had gone mad.


    Such a treasured relic, although not very useful to an individual, is invaluable to a powerful civilization and cannot be compared to a Pseudo-God Artifact.


    Would the Immortal Ruins Civilization really take the initiative?


    "I¡¯ll just point out two things," the Eastern Demon Deity said in a low voice. "First, if I truly can borrow the Void Qianyuan Formation from the Immortal Ruins Civilization, Qiong Jin, can you persuade Sha Kun Semi-Divine to join the battle?"


    "If you can really do it, and get Sha Kun to lead the Commander Array, Sha Kun will join the battle," said the Qiong Jin Deity.


    Only with Sha Kun Semi-Divine leading the Array can they take the initiative.


    "Good," the Eastern Demon Deity nodded. "Second, I will need you to establish a Law oath with me to the Immortal Ruins Civilization... only then can we gain the trust of the Immortal Ruins Civilization."


    Then, the Eastern Demon Deity roughly mentioned the contents of the Law oath.


    After pondering, both the Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity felt that they could accept the oath¡¯s contents.


    "I agree."


    "Agreed!" Both Deities consented to the Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s proposition.


    They understood that at this point in the battle, any talk of making peace with the Seven Star Civilization was like a fool¡¯s dream.


    The enmity between the two sides was too deep, almost irreconcilable.


    Their recent wish for a truce was just because they saw no hope and were unwilling to pay a heavier price in casualties... but if the Eastern Demon Deity could produce the Void Qianyuan Formation, they would not mind continuing the fight.


    After all, only Demigods would die!


    "East Demon, what do you plan to do?" Qiong Jin Deity said in a low voice. "How will you make the Immortal Ruins Civilization agree?"


    "I¡¯m about eighty percent sure," the Eastern Demon Deity said frankly. "You gather more Demigods first, then wait for my news."


    Whoosh!


    The Eastern Demon Deity turned into a streak of light, rapidly disappearing at the edge of the sky and earth.


    ...


    Barely half a day later.


    Within the vast planet that houses the Nine Clouds Sect of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the heavens and earth thundered.


    Inside a majestic hall in the Nine Clouds Realm.


    "East Demon, why have you left the Myriad Demons Civilization to come to me? What is it for?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God in a black robe said with a smile. "Has the war of invasion against the Seven Star Civilization ended?"


    Standing not far in front of him was a black-robed Phantom, exuding a destructive aura.


    It was an incarnation of the Eastern Demon Deity.


    "Yan Lin, don¡¯t make fun of me," the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head. "You must have known the outcome of the battle... the Demigods under my command have suffered a huge loss, with heavy casualties."


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God smiled without a word.


    With the True Gods unseen, he was one of the highest echelons of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, controlling a vast intelligence network. He also had orders to pay close attention to this war early on... therefore, he learned of the defeat of the Myriad Demons Civilization shortly after the battle began.


    "I only know you lost," Yan Lin Pseudo-God said curiously. "But I¡¯m not very clear on the specifics of the battle."


    "There¡¯s no harm in telling you," the Eastern Demon Deity said. "During the battle, Fang Hai¡¯s strength broke through, already possessing nearly Pseudo-God level combat power!"


    "Invincible Demigod?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God was taken aback. "It hasn¡¯t been long since Fang Hai became a Demigod, has it?"


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was indeed surprised; the speed of Fang Hai¡¯s progress was a bit too astonishing.


    It was even more fearsome than those True Gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization in their youth.


    "My strength is still some distance from being invincible among Demigods," the Eastern Demon Deity said. "But Dongfang Ji, just before his death, left behind many trump cards, especially an Origin Power Array... Within its range, Fang Hai¡¯s strength genuinely reached the Pseudo-God threshold."


    The Eastern Demon Deity did not conceal the facts.


    There was no need to keep hiding something the Seven Star Civilization was already aware of, especially since he was here to ask for something.


    "Dongfang Ji is really dead?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God showed a hint of surprise.


    He had previously guessed that Dongfang Ji might be dead, but it was difficult to confirm due to the distance.


    "If he wasn¡¯t dead, how would I dare to send my troops to invade the Seven Star Civilization?" The Eastern Demon Deity shook his head. "If it was his strategy, he would need a target... Are my hundreds of Demigods invading not worth his intervention?"


    "So, I¡¯m certain that Dongfang Ji has perished."


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but nod, feeling that the other party made sense.


    "Even though Dongfang Ji is dead, with the trump cards he left behind combined with Fang Hai¡¯s strength, you cannot win," Yan Lin Pseudo-God said with a smile. "You came to seek me out, you¡¯re not asking my Immortal Ruins Civilization for help, are you?"


    "Exactly," the Eastern Demon Deity replied. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Can¡¯t help you," Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head. "Whether it¡¯s with you or the Seven Star Civilization, neither have a Fourth Level Star Realm bordering us... Although the Immortal Ruins Civilization has many Demigods, they can¡¯t get through, even if they wanted to help, they can¡¯t."

 Chapter 725 - 388: Demands of the Immortal Ruins! Decisive Battle_2

    "Besides, we have no intention of meddling in the war between your two civilizations."


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God did not want to get involved in the mess.


    Although the Immortal Ruins Civilization had quite a few Semi-Divine Limit Experts, at least for now, none could match Fang Hai.


    "Yan Lin, you are mistaken," the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head and said, "I invited you to join the war not because I want your help, but because I am helping you."


    "Oh? How so?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God asked calmly.


    He had seen too many of these types of persuasive tactics.


    "Back then, the Immortal Ruins organized over a hundred Demigods in an attempt to break into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, and in the end, they all perished," the Eastern Demon Deity said directly. (Chapter 333)


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God nodded his head; this was no secret.


    "Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, both contain treasures, it is common knowledge throughout the Mortal Domain," the Eastern Demon Deity said, "Yan Lin, do you know why I have always insisted on invading the Seven Star Civilization?"


    "Isn¡¯t it because Dongfang Ji got treasures from the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God frowned.


    "No!"


    "It¡¯s the passageways!" the Eastern Demon Deity declared emphatically, "The Seven Star Civilization has two special passageways that allow those in the Flying Heaven Realm, Demigods, to enter the Nine Leaves World and the Nine Mountains World almost safely and unharmed... This is also why the Seven Star Civilization rose rapidly."


    "What? Safe and unharmed? Passageways?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God was indeed shocked, "How is that possible! How do you know this?"


    He truly did not know this before.


    "That is a secret."


    "Even within the Seven Star Civilization, very few know of this matter, only the most trusted," the Eastern Demon Deity explained, "Your Immortal Ruins Civilization is strong, but when it comes to penetrating the Seven Star Civilization... you are still not as good as my Myriad Demons Civilization."


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    To infiltrate, one must first make contact... How can the Immortal Ruins Civilization infiltrate when they have virtually no contact with the Seven Star Civilization?


    "Are you really that desperate?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God looked at his counterpart.


    "Now, with Dongfang Ji¡¯s death, this is our best opportunity to conquer Feixing," said the Eastern Demon Deity, "Although Fang Hai is strong, and Li Yuan is a monster, their power still doesn¡¯t match that of Dongfang Ji in the past... If we delay another five or ten years, all hope will be completely lost."


    "Yan Lin."


    "This time, it¡¯s not only the last opportunity for my Myriad Demons Civilization but also for your Immortal Ruins Civilization," the Eastern Demon Deity said, "If you lend me the Void Qianyuan Formation, I can definitely break the defenses of the Seven Star Civilization¡¯s Feixing... Then, we can quickly dispatch a large number of disciples, etner the Nine Leaves World, the Nine Mountains World, and plunder the treasures." sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "In the future, even if Feixing changes hands again, the ventures of the many Flying Heaven and Demigods might yield treasures that will make us both envious," explained the Eastern Demon Deity.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God remained silent.


    He was tempted.


    Previously he had only thought Dongfang Ji had acquired a single treasure; he hadn¡¯t realized that the Seven Star Civilization possessed such a big secret.


    The Immortal Ruins Civilization had a profound foundation, and many treasures.


    But who wouldn¡¯t want their civilization to have an even deeper foundation?


    "To break the formation of the Seven Star Civilization with the Void Qianyuan Formation? You do have a good idea," Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head and said, "But how can you ensure that you will keep your promise?"


    No matter how large the pie, you still have to be able to eat it.


    "I am willing to swear an oath by the Law," said the Eastern Demon Deity.


    "Not enough!"


    "The other two Demigods of my Myriad Demons Civilization are also willing to swear oaths by the Law," the Eastern Demon Deity continued.


    "Eastern Demon, what do I need your Law oaths for?" Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head and said, "Helping you means going to war with the Seven Star Civilization... The risk is too great."


    "Then you tell me," said the Eastern Demon Deity.


    "First of all, the Void Qianyuan Formation, with only three sets in the entirety of my Immortal Ruins Civilization, each set is of infinite value, if I lend it to you, you must exchange it for something of equivalent value," said Yan Lin Pseudo-God, "For example, your Myriad Demons Hall."


    "The Myriad Demons Hall is absolutely out of the question," said the Eastern Demon Deity shaking his head.


    The Myriad Demons Hall, being a True God Instrument, was the very foundation of the entire Myriad Demons Civilization; it could not be traded.


    "Then provide other Pseudo-God Artifacts, regardless, it must be equivalent!" Yan Lin Pseudo-God said with a smile, "Eastern Demon, didn¡¯t you just say that this is the last opportunity... Aren¡¯t you willing to gamble for this rare chance?"


    The face of the Eastern Demon Deity darkened slightly, having cornered himself.


    "Fine."


    "Indeed, the Void Qianyuan Formation is a Supreme Treasure... I am willing to mortgage some treasures, if in the end the formation is lost or damaged, then there is no need to return these treasures," the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    "Good," Yan Lin Pseudo-God nodded, "Secondly, my Immortal Ruins Civilization requires half of your total gains in the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, and you three Divine beings must swear by the Law for this."


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God stated his real demand.


    "Half? That¡¯s too much," the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, if the other Demigod does not deploy, and just contributes one formation for half the gains.


    Then what¡¯s the point of participating?


    "Twenty percent," the Eastern Demon Deity called out.


    "Forty percent!" retorted Yan Lin Pseudo-God.


    "Thirty percent," the Eastern Demon Deity offered again, "Yan Lin, thirty percent is quite a bit... you don¡¯t have to deploy a single soldier, just provide one formation."


    "Thirty-five percent," Yan Lin Pseudo-God said coldly, "Eastern Demon, this is my bottom line. If you still want to make a deal... you can only agree, otherwise, I would not agree."


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God had grasped the mindset of the Eastern Demon Deity.


    "Thirty-five percent?" The Eastern Demon Deity gritted his teeth, seemingly struggling intensely with the decision.


    After a long time!


    "Alright, I agree," the Eastern Demon Deity finally relented!


    Thirty-five percent? The share seemd notable.


    If not for the Void Qianyuan Formation, the Eastern Demon Deity could not think of how else to defeat Fang Hai.


    Soon after, the two sides finalized the detailed plan, and the avatar of the Eastern Demon Deity dissipated.


    "Lend the formation?"


    "Dongfang Ji is dead," Yan Lin Pseudo-God thought to himself, "Such a big matter, it seems I must report it to the True God."

 Chapter 731: 390: Dongfang Jis Strength (Additional Update)

    Chapter 731: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)


    ¡°Teacher? How are you?¡± Fang Hai felt a mixture of joy and disbelief in his heart.


    He clearly remembered watching his teacher enter the Nine Mountains World.


    Moreover, his teacher¡¯s soul lamp had extinguished, and the two Demigod Peak members of the Alien Race who had been controlled by a soul, had regained freedom, plus Yun Lao¡¯s words were definitive.


    Thus, although heartbroken, Fang Hai believed it.


    And he had taken on the responsibility of ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    Later, during the invasion battle of the Myriad Demons Civilization, allies at the Demigod level kept falling, and the teacher did not appear again, leaving Fang Hai without hope.


    ...


    Today, facing the terrifying ¡°Heavenly Fire Realm Beast,¡± Fang Hai fought with all his might but was still at an absolute disadvantage, barely managing to hold off the beast using the peculiarity of his Sword Technique, fearing he would be defeated in moments.


    It could be said that Fang Hai had lost all hope.


    Even when facing the invasion of hundreds of Demigods before, he had broken through in desperation, initially thinking he could protect the civilization, but the Myriad Demons Civilization mobilized an even more powerful force, leading to complete despair.


    Fang Hai¡¯s heart was filled with guilt towards his ¡°teacher¡± and towards the entire civilization.


    In his mind, he even saw many images of countless lives falling on various planets.


    Fang Hai could have never imagined.


    In this most desperate moment, his presumably fallen teacher suddenly appeared.


    ¡°Fang Hai, Master has always been alive and has always been on Feixing, don¡¯t doubt it.¡± Yun Lao¡¯s voice also suddenly echoed in Fang Hai¡¯s mind, ¡°Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have refused to acknowledge you as my master.¡±


    Fang Hai was certain.


    Swoosh!


    He immediately retreated, flying backward with full confidence, without worrying about Dongfang Ji.


    Even though he himself possessed nearly Pseudo-God combat strength, in Fang Hai¡¯s heart, teacher Dongfang Ji was always invincible.


    As long as the teacher was there, the entire civilization was unshakable.


    ¡­


    ¡°How could this be! How could the Myriad Demons Civilization possess such a terrifying treasure?¡±


    ¡°Such an Origin Power Battle Array, even in the Immortal Ruins Civilization, there are but a few.¡±


    ¡°If the Myriad Demons Civilization had it, why haven¡¯t they used it in the long past years?¡±


    ¡°Could it be something they recently acquired?¡± Below in the void, each fleeing Demigod was filled with rage and unwillingness.


    They hated it!


    Clearly, Alliance Hierarch Fang Hai had broken through, and under the enhancement of the formation, he had achieved the invincible might of a Demigod, which should have been solid as gold.


    Why then must the civilization still undergo such a calamity?


    Suddenly. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Look!¡± A voice full of surprise sounded, followed by everyone including Li Yuan, Liu Bing, all stunned.


    They all clearly sensed the aura of the white-robed figure that appeared in the void.


    It was so familiar.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, ¡°The Alliance Hierarch isn¡¯t dead?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Dongfang Alliance Leader!¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader didn¡¯t die? Has he always been on Feixing or did he just return to Feixing?¡±


    ¡°We have hope now!¡±


    ¡°Our Seven Star Civilization is saved, no need for the grand migration plan anymore.¡± This group of Seven Stars Demigods immediately erupted with excitement, their hearts full of exhilaration.


    At this moment, everyone involuntarily stopped in their tracks, looking up into the higher void.


    They all instinctively believed.


    With Dongfang Ji there, the seemingly overwhelmingly strong Heavenly Fire Realm Beast was definitely not a match.


    This wasn¡¯t blind confidence.


    Rather, it was the lofty reputation brought by Dongfang Ji¡¯s resolution of civilization crises time and time again, instilling awe in all parties.


    Whether it was the once first person of civilization, Lant Semi-Divine, or the recently crisis-averting Fang Hai¡­in their hearts, none could compare to Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji?¡± Liu Bing stared wide-eyed at the figure in the void, ¡°Big brother, can he win? According to Senior Qiu, that Fifth Rank Origin Power Array is quite strong even among Initial Rank Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    ¡°Definitely!¡± Li Yuan declared firmly.


    Liu Bing nodded, not speaking further. She didn¡¯t feel much reverence for Dongfang Ji, but she sensed Li Yuan¡¯s apparent change.


    ¡­


    Myriad Demons Civilization, Demon Mountain Star.


    ¡°They¡¯ve engaged.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, even with the Origin Power Array¡¯s aid, Fang Hai is no match for the Origin Power Array.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re going to win!¡±


    ¡°Fang Hai¡¯s Sword Technique is indeed special, managing to entangle briefly, even though he technically only possesses the strength on the threshold of Pseudo-God, he should¡¯ve been defeated quickly.¡±


    ¡°His comprehension of the Law of Water, inherently good at defense, different laws excel in different areas, isn¡¯t surprising.¡± The three Divine of the Myriad Demons Civilization watched the giant screen nearby, conversing among themselves, their mood quite relaxed.


    This battle, as they had anticipated, once the Fifth Rank Origin Power Array was deployed, the Seven Star Civilization had no power to resist.


    Victory was within grasp.


    ¡°Who is that?¡± Bei Yue Deity suddenly pointed at the screen and exclaimed, ¡°Is that Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°What? Dongfang Ji?¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°It seems so!¡± Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s smile also stiffened, as the three instantly recognized Dongfang Ji.


    Dongfang Ji had not altered his appearance.


    ¡°Quick! East Demon, tell Sha Kun to retreat.¡± Qiong Jin Deity rushed, ¡°Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead, this is definitely a trap.¡±


    Qiong Jin Deity was truly anxious.


    Dongfang Ji, in his mind, was an absolutely invincible existence in the Semi-Divine Realm, truly capable of matching a Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes.¡± East Demon Deity¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of cold intent, ¡°This time might also be an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°Opportunity?¡± Qiong Jin Deity was startled.


    ¡°If Sha Kun hasn¡¯t broken through, even with the Origin Power Array, he¡¯s definitely no match for Dongfang Ji.¡± East Demon Deity spoke gravely, ¡°But the might of the Origin Power Array exceeds our expectations¡­Sha Kun, the Demigod leading the Array, his strength is close to a Middle Rank Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°Dongfang Ji is great, but he¡¯s only a Demigod.¡±


    ¡°Even if he possesses the strength of a Middle Rank Pseudo-God, it¡¯s difficult for him to swiftly defeat Sha Kun¡¯s Demigod strength.¡± East Demon Deity said, ¡°After all, he is just a Demigod, his strength has its limits.¡±

    Chapter 732: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)_2


    Qiong Jin Deity hesitated.


    Communication between divine beings was exceedingly fast.


    ¡°The move has been made,¡± exclaimed Bei Yue Deity, ¡°Dongfang Ji has made his move.¡±


    ¡­


    Upon Feixing, within the Origin Power Array that radiated endless golden light, facing Fang Hai¡¯s retreat, the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast didn¡¯t pursue.


    Because¡ª


    ...


    It, too, saw Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine, the commander of the battle array, stared intently at the white-robed phantom, filled with vigilance.


    Just before, he operated the formation, his sense spreading around, but he hadn¡¯t detected the other¡¯s presence at all.


    Such a technique was enough to make him cautious.


    And at Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s realm, he felt a fatal threat emanating from that white-robed figure.


    ¡°Are you still alive? Or are you an imposter of another Semi-Divine?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine had the urge to retreat.


    This white-robed figure, though appearing the same¡ª


    But he, along with the hundreds of Semi-Divines he led, had not truly seen Dongfang Ji and were unclear about Dongfang Ji¡¯s soul aura, so they could not fully confirm. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After all, those of Myriad Demons Civilization who had seen Dongfang Ji were all dead.


    The only one who had seen him, Ye An Semi-Divine, was still in the Demon Mountain Star Realm and had not arrived.


    ¡°Are you Sha Kun?¡± Dongfang Ji looked down at the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, his voice gentle yet unquestionably imperious.


    Sha Kun Semi-Divine fell silent, feeling a twinge of panic.


    ¡°Swordsmanship has reached the Pseudo-God Level, there can be no mistake,¡± Dongfang Ji said indifferently, ¡°What a pity.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A golden long sword materialized in Dongfang Ji¡¯s palm, its blade flaring with a glow of golden light.


    The appearance of this light seemed to command the entire world; the very heavens and earth grew dim, instilling fear in the hearts of all present Semi-Divines.


    Even Snow Dragon Demigod, Blood Cloth Semi-Divine, and others, though aware that the Divine Sword would not target them, couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of despair.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan held his breath, his soul feeling a sense of stiffness.


    With that sword thrust, he would certainly perish.


    ¡°This is¡­ Law of Heaven and Earth! A sword unsheathed, suppressing heaven and earth! How is this possible?¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, echoing with shock, ¡°How can this be! How can a Semi-Divine possibly achieve this! This shouldn¡¯t be happening, how long has he been cultivating? What kind of monster is this?¡±


    Law of Heaven and Earth? Li Yuan was also shocked.


    As far as he knew, Sixth Stage technique was the condensation of True Intent of heaven and earth, representing an understanding of the Mysteries of the Law to a certain degree.


    Seventh Stage was to step into the Threshold of the Law, being able to sense the Origin fluctuations of the Great Dao in the unknown.


    Eighth Stage was the Law Will, able to project one¡¯s will over tens of thousands of miles, sensing vast spatial fluctuations, which is why Pseudo-Gods often had some comprehension of Space Law.


    Above that, was the Ninth Stage¡ªLaw of Heaven and Earth.


    With the Mysteries of the Law comprehended, one creates their domain, and with every move made, could sever the Power of Heaven and Earth that an enemy invokes.


    If one reached such a level, it signified that their comprehension of a particular Law of the Great Dao was extremely profound, beyond which lay the legendary ¡®Tenth Stage Mastery of the Dao.¡¯


    But reaching Ninth Stage Law of Heaven and Earth was exceedingly difficult.


    According to the information in the Inheritance Crystal Stone, even powerful True Gods often failed to reach the level of ¡®Law of Heaven and Earth.¡¯


    Could it be that Alliance Hierarch¡¯s Law Comprehension has reached this level?


    At the scene¡ª


    Apart from Li Yuan, only Fang Hai had a slight sense; the others had no clue what the light meant.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s pupils shrank, feeling the abrupt change in the surrounding heavens and earth, recalling some records he had read, his heart trembling.


    Just as he thought to flee¡ª


    It was too late!


    Swoosh!


    Dongfang Ji had already thrust out with his sword, a stroke of golden light already sweeping across the Vast Sky, aiming Straight Thrust at the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    The sword was too fast.


    Even though Sha Kun Semi-Divine fled at the first opportunity, his speed was extremely fast, but that sword light was faster, being a hundred miles away one second, and in the next, it had descended upon the head of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    Under the invisible suppression of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast could only manage to swing two arms wielding swords to block.


    ¡°Boom~¡± ¡°Boom~¡±


    ¡°Tear!¡±


    After one collision, the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast¡¯s two arms shattered layer by layer. The Divine Sword was flung away, and then the sword light had already pierced through the thick layer of Fire Origin Power defense of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    The Origin Power Battle Array roared as it began to crumble, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Power dispersed, revealing a multitude of terrified Semi-Divines inside.


    And after piercing through the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, that sword light suddenly split into countless fine sword beams, striking at each and every Semi-Divine, slaying them mercilessly¡­ Even Sha Kun Semi-Divine, whose strength was close to the Pseudo-God Level, was ruthlessly killed by that remaining sword light.


    Eventually, tranquility returned to the world.


    That massive ¡®Heavenly Fire Realm Beast¡¯ disappeared into smoke and clouds, leaving nothing but a multitude of weapons and Storage Magical Treasures suspended in the void.


    All was quiet.


    ¡°What?¡± Fang Hai, who had just retreated to the back, was stunned. He had unshakeable faith in his teacher, but he had not expected his teacher to kill the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast so effortlessly.


    He had fought against the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast and was well aware of its terrifying strength.


    ¡°One Sword?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve won?¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, he!¡± The other Semi-Divines were also bewildered; the scene was too shocking for them.


    Was that invincible, terrifying Origin Power Battle Array, capable of destroying the Seven Great Planets, truly wiped out just like that?


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan also held his breath, ¡°Could it be that Alliance Hierarch¡¯s comprehension of the Law truly reached the Ninth Stage Level?¡±


    ¡°Or has he actually broken through to become a Pseudo-God?¡±


    Aside from these two possibilities, with Li Yuan¡¯s insight, no other could be conceived.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Liu Bing was equally baffled and couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan, ¡°Big brother, is this the strength of your civilization¡¯s Alliance Hierarch? Is he really that powerful?¡±

 Chapter 733: 390: Dongfang Jis Strength (Additional Update)_3

    Chapter 733: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)_3


    Liu Bing, with her inherited memories, possessed an exceptionally high level of understanding, and her own strength was also formidable¡­ From watching Fang Hai battle with the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, she could infer that the beast¡¯s strength was rather strong among those of the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    This kind of strength!


    To be exterminated by a single sword strike from Dongfang Ji, what kind of terrifying power was that?


    ¡°Pseudo-God Middle Rank?¡±


    ¡°No! It should be the Peak of Pseudo-God,¡± Liu Bing¡¯s mind raced with many thoughts. ¡°It might even be stronger¡­ Is this really a demigod that could be born in the Mortal Domain?¡±


    Even in the Divine Realm, where monsters with Eight Star Veins awakened as demigods, it was extremely difficult to unleash the power of the Peak of Pseudo-God. They were all world-renowned, exceptional talents.


    ...


    And the birth of such talents required not only extremely high innate gifts but also the best external environment.


    What about the Mortal Domain then?


    ¡°Even if I were to attain demigod status and cultivate for a hundred years, I might not possess such strength,¡± Liu Bing thought to herself, shuddering. After all, she was a top-tier Wind Elemental Divine Beast!


    How about him? He did not possess powerful bloodlines like her and was merely born in the Mortal Domain. Moreover, according to her brother¡¯s words, he had been cultivating for less than two hundred years.


    Such a prodigious talent, if he were to go to the Divine Realm, how much more could he grow?


    Liu Bing dared not imagine.


    ¡°Could it be that with my brother¡¯s talent and potential, even he holds Dongfang Alliance Leader in such high regard?¡± Liu Bing thought to herself.


    In the void.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, Dongfang Ji collected the many treasures left behind by the hundreds of demigods.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Fang Hai approached, both excited and shocked, his eyes even sparkling with tears.


    This ¡®New Seven Stars Alliance Leader,¡¯ seen by other demigods as resolute and decisive, now seemed like a child.


    ¡°You have done well, your teacher has seen it all, good job,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile.


    Fang Hai nodded, for him, his teacher¡¯s praise was the greatest achievement.


    However, Fang Hai still had many questions, he could not help but say, ¡°Teacher, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, before we leave, I will tell you everything,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile. ¡°But, we¡¯ve barely set up this trap; we need to kill all the fleas that deserve to be killed.¡±


    ¡°The ones that need to be killed?¡± Fang Hai was taken aback.


    Whoosh!


    Dongfang Ji stepped forward, his speed soaring to an unbelievable extent, making Fang Hai¡¯s eyelids twitch.


    ¡°Teacher¡¯s speed must have surpassed 100 kilometers per second,¡± Fang Hai trembled inwardly.


    Such speed, even most Pseudo-Gods probably couldn¡¯t reach it.


    Swoosh!


    Dongfang Ji had already charged into the Star Realm Passage.


    ¡°Could there be other demigods of the Myriad Demons Civilization in the Demon Mountain Star Realm?¡± Fang Hai¡¯s mind brimmed with thoughts: ¡°Or is the teacher planning to go straight into the Myriad Demons Civilization?¡±


    The demigods of Demon Mountain could travel along the Star Realm Passage¡­ so naturally, the demigods of the Seven Star Civilization could as well.


    In the past, divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization had always guarded the passage; hence the Seven Star Civilization had never done so.


    Dongfang Ji had never killed his way over either.


    But today, having witnessed the teacher¡¯s strength, Fang Hai could not help but speculate.


    ¡­


    In the Myriad Demons Civilization, above the huge Star Realm Passage on Demon Mountain Star, those few massive light screens had come to a complete stop because the demigods responsible for transmitting messages had all died.


    The three deities looking at the screens were lost in thought, a hint of fear even visible in their eyes.


    ¡°Is it really Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°According to the messages sent back, Dongfang Ji is still a demigod.¡±


    ¡°A demigod, able to exterminate the Origin Power Array in one move? What kind of power is this? Pseudo-God Middle Rank? Or Peak of Pseudo-God?¡±


    ¡°How could Dongfang Ji¡¯s power be so terrifying after such a short time of cultivation?¡± The Eastern Demon Deity, Qiong Jin Deity, and Bei Yue Deity felt a chill in their hearts.


    This power was too strong.


    They had always been wary of Dongfang Ji, realizing that he might have already formed ¡®Law Will¡¯, and his strength should have reached the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    Therefore, entities like the Eastern Demon Deity had already given up on invading. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The so-called invincible realm of a demigod is just reaching the threshold of Pseudo-God, signifying the new Pseudo-God¡¯s power.


    ¡°One sword, if he truly has the power of the Peak of Pseudo-God, what level would his Law Comprehension be?¡± Bei Yue Deity said, voice trembling slightly: ¡°Could it be that his Law Comprehension has reached Eighth Rank Perfect?¡±


    ¡°How did he cultivate? He¡¯s not even two hundred years old!¡±


    The three great deities were indeed frightened; such strength completely surpassed their understanding.


    ¡°Dongfang Ji has entered the Demon Mountain Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°Those hundred-plus demigods didn¡¯t have time to flee; some were killed, some were suppressed and killed,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said bitterly: ¡°All are done for.¡±


    The moment the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast died, the Eastern Demon Deity had already ordered the many demigods of the Demon Mountain Star Realm to retreat quickly.


    Yet, it was still too late.


    Or perhaps.


    With Dongfang Ji¡¯s speed, once he made his move, it would be impossible for those hundred-plus demigods to escape.


    After a few seconds of silence.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°This is a trap, a trap!!¡± Qiong Jin Deity suddenly let out an angry roar: ¡°His target is Sha Kun, Dongfang Ji¡¯s target, is my disciple, Sha Kun!!¡±


    The Eastern Demon Deity and Bei Yue Deity exchanged glances but said nothing.


    At this point.


    They all understood that this war, from when the so-called ¡®news of Dongfang Ji¡¯s fall¡¯ was reported until now, was definitely a Killing Formation laid out by Dongfang Ji.


    The target was probably Sha Kun Semi-Divine.


    ¡°In theory, with the strength shown by Dongfang Ji, he doesn¡¯t need to care about Sha Kun,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity gravely: ¡°Could it be that he is really preparing to leave the Seven Star Civilization, therefore before departing¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t suppose anymore, put away your speculations. With the loss of so many demigods in our civilization now, even if Dongfang Ji is not around, how can you cope with only Fang Hai left?¡± Qiong Jin Deity shouted angrily: ¡°You fool, because of your judgment, my disciple was killed, and our civilization lost the majority of its demigods!!¡±

    Chapter 734: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji¡¯s Strength (Additional Update)_4


    Qiong Jin Deity¡¯s heart was bleeding. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His only disciple with a hope to ascend to godhood had died just like that.


    With less than a thousand years of life left, he had no assurance he could nurture another Divine.


    ¡°Qiong Jin,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said angrily, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to see this happen either. My loss is substantial too. The Eight Directions Fire Realm Array¡­ its value rivals that of a True God Instrument, and the treasures mortgaged to the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all provided by me.¡±


    This time, in terms of treasure loss, the Eastern Demon Deity suffered the most.


    But he knew he was at fault and understood that all the war plans had been his idea, so he said nothing.


    ...


    ¡°War is always a risk,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity stared at the other, ¡°To gain something, one must take risks.¡±


    ¡°Can treasures compare to my disciple¡¯s life?¡± Qiong Jin Deity retorted.


    ¡°Both of you stop quarreling,¡± the Bei Yue Deity said coldly. ¡°Think about how to deal with Dongfang Ji.¡±


    ¡°Given his strength, once he travels here through the Star Realm Passage, I alone can¡¯t stop him.¡±


    ¡°When he breaks through and becomes a Pseudo-God within the territory of my Myriad Demons Civilization, his strength will skyrocket even more. What then?¡± Bei Yue Deity added.


    Both deities fell silent.


    What Bei Yue Deity mentioned was exactly what they feared and worried about the most.


    Normally, external deities cannot descend onto the Dimensional Plane.


    But there was one exception, that is, entering as a demigod and then breaking through¡­ even if the plane¡¯s origin repelled, they wouldn¡¯t be directly expelled.


    Dongfang Ji, terrifying even as a demigod.


    Should he intrude into the Myriad Demons Civilization, break through to become a Pseudo-God there, and then conceal himself for a period of Concealed Cultivation, raising his Origin Power Cultivation, Star Technique, and so on to another level¡­ even the powerful Eastern Demon Deity would have no assurance of survival.


    The three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity were both at the Pseudo-God Middle Rank, only the Eastern Demon Deity was a Peak Pseudo-God.


    ¡°From this day forward.¡±


    ¡°Bei Yue,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly, ¡°I will also stay and guard at Demon Mountain Star. With the Origin Power Array compressing and reinforcing us, even if he is a Peak Pseudo-God, he won¡¯t be able to break through.¡±


    Bei Yue Deity nodded involuntarily.


    She had long been stationed here, unconcerned precisely because of the Origin Power Array, which did not fear even a Peak Pseudo-God.


    Now, with the Eastern Demon Deity joining, it would be even easier to guard.


    ¡°Now, I actually hope that he breaks through to become a god sooner,¡± Qiong Jin Deity said with a cold look in his eyes. ¡°Every day he is not a god, he poses the greatest threat to my Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°From today, I will also stay and guard, ensuring nothing goes wrong.¡±


    The three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization had made the same decision¡ªto jointly guard the Star of Demon Mountain.


    ¡­


    At Feixing, outside the Star Realm Passage.


    Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Fang Hai, along with a large group of demigods, were quietly waiting outside the passage.


    Only Lant Semi-Divine, still operating the grand array, hadn¡¯t come out.


    Suddenly, a streak of light flashed from the Star Realm Passage, and in a blink, it approached everyone.


    ¡°Teacher,¡± Fang Hai approached excitedly and bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Li Yuan also wore a face full of joy.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch.¡±


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch,¡± Snow Dragon Demigod and the rest also approached and bowed respectfully, their hearts filled with joy.


    Though Fang Hai was now the Alliance Hierarch.


    Yet the moment everyone saw Dongfang Ji, they instinctively addressed him as ¡®Alliance Hierarch¡¯.


    ¡°Teacher, how did it go?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°The more than a hundred demigods left by the Myriad Demons Civilization at the Demon Mountain Star Realm have all been eliminated,¡± Dongfang Ji spoke very calmly.


    The numerous demigods shuddered.


    Over a hundred demigods? In less than a minute, they had been exterminated by the Alliance Hierarch?


    But, considering Dongfang Ji¡¯s strength, everyone realized it made sense.


    Even if Dongfang Ji claimed he had slaughtered the deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization, no one would be too surprised.


    ¡°This battle at Feixing, I¡¯ve been secretly observing,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone. ¡°I have seen all your actions, and you have done very well.¡±


    Always been here?


    Many demigods thought.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, please forgive my impudence,¡± Tianhuo Demigod couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Since you were here all along, why didn¡¯t you intervene to save them when Qinghe Demigod and the others perished?¡±


    Everyone quieted down, even Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but look towards his teacher.


    This was also the doubt in Fang Hai¡¯s heart after knowing Dongfang Ji had been at Feixing all along.


    If Fang Hai hadn¡¯t made his breakthrough and stopped the first wave of invasion from the Myriad Demons Civilization, San Ye Demigod would have undoubtedly perished.


    Teacher, why didn¡¯t you intervene?


    ¡°Because of Sha Kun.¡±


    ¡°If I had intervened earlier, would the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s Sha Kun Demigod come today, leading so many demigods?¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°My target was Sha Kun.¡±


    ¡°He has Pseudo-God Level insights but is still a demigod.¡±


    ¡°If I wasn¡¯t here, could you have withstood this battle at Feixing?¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s gaze swept over everyone.

 Chapter 735: 391: The Reason

    Chapter 735: Chapter 391: The Reason


    If Dongfang Ji were not present?


    The demigods in attendance all quieted down, not daring to speak further.


    It had been proven that if Dongfang Ji were not present, they would only be able to carry out the Great Migration Plan, even if Fang Hai made his breakthrough, it could not stop the assault of the Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s vast army.


    Of course, people like Li Yuan and the Snow Dragon Demigod still harbored many doubts.


    Logically, with the strength Dongfang Ji had demonstrated, what could the Sha Kun Demigod¡¯s Law Comprehension at the Pseudo-God Level amount to?


    As long as Dongfang Ji were there, logically, the Seven Star Civilization should be as stable as Mount Tai.


    ...


    Even if Sha Kun Demigod eventually became a Pseudo-God, but the Myriad Demons Civilization already had three Pseudo-Gods, even adding one more would hardly affect the overall situation, so why bother setting up this game?


    Many demigods were puzzled.


    However, looking at the final battle results, on their side only three demigods fell, whereas more than seven hundred demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization perished in battle, including one formidable demigod who was hopeful of becoming a Pseudo-God¡­ This rate of casualties was enough to prove the correctness of Dongfang Ji¡¯s decisions.


    In war, there are no battles without death. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Now, the remaining demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization were probably just over three hundred and generally of weaker strength¡­ no longer possessing the conditions to wage war against the Seven Star Civilization.


    Although the Myriad Demons Civilization possesses tens of planets and a vast life force that will continuously give birth to powerhouses¡­ to recover to a state of over a thousand demigods at their peak, it would also take at least hundreds of years.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°The great battle is over, but the extensive invasion of the Flying Heaven by the Myriad Demons Civilization has also caused damage to various major planets¡­ all demigods should return first, to carry out all necessary pacification work.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Many demigods responded reverently. Most of them held various positions.


    ¡°Fang Hai, again, order the demigods who rushed from the major planets to return to their original planets.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡°Yes, I will give out the orders immediately.¡± Fang Hai nodded repeatedly.


    ¡°Then, for the dead demigods of Flame City, Qinghe, and Wind Fox, record their merits, engrave their names inside the ¡®Seven Stars Hall,¡¯ and organize memorial events within the civilization¡­ for their families, clans, and even close disciples, provide compensations.¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai, ¡°Anyone who dares to plot against their treasures after their death, kill them without mercy.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Fang Hai responded solemnly.


    Within the Seven Star Civilization, anyone who had made significant contributions or sacrifices during the rise of the civilization would have their names preserved in the Seven Stars Hall, worshiped by the entire civilization without end.


    And Dongfang Ji¡¯s last words, without a doubt, were meant for the demigods present.


    ¡°Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, Elder Lant, stay behind¡­ the rest of you may leave.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡­


    The many demigods dispersed, and the Origin Power Array that enveloped heaven and earth also slowly retracted.


    Outside the Star Realm Passage, only a few figures remained.


    ¡°Teacher, what exactly happened when you previously perished? When did you return from the Nine Mountains World?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Li Yuan and the Lant Semi-Divine also curiously looked towards Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°I knew you would ask.¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°Actually, I had already returned to Feixing a year ago.¡±


    ¡°But at that time, even Xiaoyun did not know I had come back.¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    ¡°Master.¡± A phantom appeared by Dongfang Ji¡¯s side, precisely in the form of Elder Yun.


    Elder Yun was extremely respectful.


    A year ago?


    The expressions of everyone present changed, especially Li Yuan¡¯s.


    Because the crisis at Lantie Star was just half a year ago.


    ¡°Alliance Hierarch, this means, you returned to Feixing from the Nine Mountains World just after half a year?¡± Li Yuan whispered.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°Li Yuan, I know what you¡¯re thinking. During the crisis at Lantie Star, I was indeed within the civilization¡­ to be precise, I arrived at Lantie Star just a few days later.¡±


    ¡°But you did not intervene.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying.


    The danger at Lantie Star ultimately resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors and billions of civilians!


    If Dongfang Ji had intervened, the losses would have been greatly reduced.


    ¡°Why should I intervene in just a Flying Heaven invasion?¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head, ¡°When you were dueling those three Initial Rank demigods, I was secretly observing¡­ If you truly couldn¡¯t match them, I would have intervened and killed those three demigods.¡±


    ¡°But in the end, you performed well and won that battle.¡±


    ¡°I did not intervene, nor did I reveal my presence; I merely observed everything.¡± Dongfang Ji spoke softly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    He understood Dongfang Ji¡¯s meaning; if the Alien Race Semi-Divine on Lantie Star were to massacre on a large scale, Dongfang Ji would intervene to stop it¡­ but if it were only Flying Heaven Level or weaker Alien Races not causing catastrophic damage, he would not bother.


    Even if many people died in these disasters, Dongfang Ji would not intervene.


    ¡°Grinding!¡±


    ¡°A powerful person must grind himself through life and death repeatedly, comprehending his temperament, to grow.¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°A civilization is the same, the Seven Star Civilization isn¡¯t just mine, or just us few individuals¡¯¡­ but it comprises hundreds of billions of people.¡±


    ¡°If I were to eliminate all dangers.¡±


    ¡°Countless ordinary people would only become complacent, like those many First Level and Second Level Star Realms, why don¡¯t I allow you to completely eradicate them?¡± Dongfang Ji spoke calmly, ¡°Creating a sense of crisis within the entire civilization is the only way to provide countless ordinary people with the motivation to strive.¡±


    ¡°If everyone feels safe, the willingness to work on cultivation would greatly decrease.¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°The crisis at Lantie Star¡­ in my view, it is just a minor grinding in the process of the civilization¡¯s empowerment.¡±


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai both fell silent.


    The two of them were the next-generation leaders designated by Dongfang Ji for the civilization, and their hearts were significantly stirred.


    ¡°Teacher, about this arrangement?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Because, the time of my departure is drawing near.¡± Dongfang Ji sighed.

 Chapter 736: 391: The Reason_2

    Chapter 736: Chapter 391: The Reason_2


    ¡°`


    Leaving?


    Both Li Yuan and Lant Semi-Divine were surprised, only Fang Hai was not so startled, seemingly having anticipated this.


    ¡°Fang Hai broke through to become a demigod, successfully returning from the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    ¡°Along with you, Li Yuan,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°it reassured me that even in my absence, our entire civilization wouldn¡¯t be utterly destroyed.¡±


    ¡°Therefore,¡±


    ...


    ¡°I embarked on my journey to the Nine Mountains World, and everything went as I predicted, very smoothly, so it only took half a year to accomplish without much danger.¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s gaze swept over the few: ¡°There was just one event that went beyond my expectations¡­ three years.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t disclose the specifics.¡±


    ¡°But the most time I can remain within our civilization is three years, after which I must leave the Mortal Domain and will not be able to return for a very long time.¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ¡°To the Divine Realm?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°The specific reasons will become clear to you once you make your own way into the Nine Mountains World.¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Li Yuan did not inquire further.


    It seemed that Dongfang Ji had sworn a law oath and couldn¡¯t openly discuss many things.


    ¡°That is also why I have not shown myself until now.¡±


    ¡°In my plan, I would have had both of you undergo two more years of tempering before handing over the full authority of the civilization to you before I left.¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai and Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    Today, the topic that the Dongfang Alliance Leader kept stressing, ¡®if I am not here,¡¯ might be for this very reason.


    It¡¯s not that Dongfang Ji doesn¡¯t cherish the Seven Star Civilization.


    But his remaining time is only three years.


    ¡°From the beginning, I had no intention of engaging the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head: ¡°I can¡¯t breakthrough to become a Pseudo-God¡­ My strength is not enough to kill those Pseudo-Gods, and even if I did kill some demigods, it wouldn¡¯t mean much.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, originally, I wanted the Myriad Demons Civilization to serve as the whetstone for you two,¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°Knowing I will soon leave, this time in the Nine Mountains World, I specifically brought back some secret weapons.¡±


    ¡°The Origin Power Array, forty demigod peak puppets, that was what I brought back before, only I never told anyone.¡±


    ¡°And this time, returning from the Nine Mountains World, I brought back three puppets with the strength of the Pseudo-God threshold.¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°I¡¯ve left one on each Feixing, Heavenly Sea Star, and Blue Star as the ultimate reserve.¡±


    ¡°In secret, it is Yun Lao that controls them.¡± Dongfang Ji pointed to Cloud Elder at the side.


    Those present were all shocked to hear this.


    Puppets of the Pseudo-God level?


    ¡°Freak! Freak!¡± Liu Bing¡¯s voice rang in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Big brother, your alliance leader is a freak. Even the full fortune of a peak Pseudo-God might not trade for a Pseudo-God level puppet¡­ What kind of treasures does the Nine Mountains World contain, exactly?¡±


    Li Yuan also felt a pang of emotion.


    His vision was not bad; he understood the value of the Pseudo-God level puppets.


    Such level puppets are usually given by True Gods to their close friends and disciples as ¡®guardians.¡¯


    And the Dongfang Alliance Leader? He unhesitatingly produced three at once, what magnificent generosity.


    ¡°With the Origin Power Array and these puppets for protection, under normal circumstances, even if I am not here, even if the Myriad Demons army invades, they won¡¯t be able to shake our civilization.¡± Dongfang Ji said: ¡°Just give it another ten years, once you two grow strong, it will be completely stable.¡±


    Everyone nodded, Dongfang Ji had considered everything very thoroughly.


    ¡°But, man¡¯s plans are no match for fate.¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head: ¡°Two months ago, I unexpectedly learned something, Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s Law Comprehension has reached the Pseudo-God level.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization, usually produces a Pseudo-God every thousand years¡­ Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s breakthrough is too coincidental¡­ perhaps this is fate, and I am helpless against it.¡±


    ¡°This, has forced me to reconsider.¡± S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°`


    Everyone was listening.


    ¡°Once I leave two years from now, with Sha Kun Semi-Divine in charge, and the Myriad Demons Civilization invading again¡­ can you withstand them?¡± Dongfang Ji sighed, ¡°At that time, Fang Hai, you had not yet made a breakthrough.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve let Teacher down,¡± said Fang Hai.


    Before the great battle in Feixing, aside from numerous puppets and arrays, Fang Hai¡¯s strength was only at the limit of Semi-Divine.


    Fang Hai made a breakthrough in the madness of life and death during the great battle.


    However, before the battle, by following the prescribed practices, Fang Hai was not certain he could definitely make a breakthrough within two years.


    Even if he had broken through, this time, he ultimately failed to stop the attack of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    ¡°In my estimation, if no action is taken, the Seven Star Civilization will face a danger period of 5¨C10 years,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Only the emergence of a strong being who has reached the ¡®Initial Rank of Pseudo-God¡¯ could be considered stable.


    ¡°Once I have disappeared for too long, it could easily arouse the suspicion of the Myriad Demons Civilization.¡±


    ¡°After all, I have been clandestinely conducting transactions with many deities of the Mortal Domain, even with the ¡®Bei Yue Deity¡¯ from the Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said. (Chapter 266)


    The more the crowd listened, the more shocked they became.


    ¡°After pondering, rather than betting on the Myriad Demons Civilization not invading, it¡¯s better to set up a trap and eliminate the danger completely,¡± Dongfang Ji said with a faint smile, ¡°Hence, there came the news of my breakthrough and demise.¡±


    ¡°To make everything more realistic.¡±


    ¡°Except for Xiaoyun, I did not tell anyone the truth and also actively lifted the Soul Control on those two Semi-Divine Alien Races,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°In addition, I commanded my Soul servant, Ye An Semi Divine, to pretend to regain freedom¡­ to deceive the Eastern Demon Deity.¡± (Chapter 378)


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, a young man wearing Black Armor Combat Armor immediately appeared at Dongfang Ji¡¯s side; it was Ye An Semi Divine.


    ¡°Master,¡± Ye An Semi Divine bowed respectfully to Dongfang Ji and also gave a respectful greeting to several others around him, ¡°Greetings, esteemed ones.¡±


    This scene left Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Lant Semi-Divine somewhat astonished.


    It turned out Ye An Semi Divine had been disguising all along.


    ¡°That idiot Eastern Demon Deity, how could he know that Master¡¯s Soul Secret Technique had reached a higher level, one that he, a mere Pseudo-God, could not distinguish between truth and falsehood?¡± Ye An Semi Divine shook his head, ¡°I, following Master¡¯s orders, slightly disguised myself, and it was enough to fool him.¡±


    The crowd suddenly understood.


    ¡°Ye An returning now would definitely lead to his death by the enraged Eastern Demon Deity,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°So, I have brought him back, and from now on, he will stay in Feixing.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Master,¡± Ye An Semi Divine said respectfully.


    Whoosh!


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand and put Ye An Semi Divine away, apparently not wanting this servant to know too much.


    ¡°Once everything is ready.¡±


    ¡°The Myriad Demons Civilization began their probing,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly said, ¡°In my plan, if Sha Kun Semi-Divine does not appear¡­ even if it means some Semi-Divines die in this battle, even if billions or tens of billions perish, I will not reveal myself.¡±


    ¡°My target is Sha Kun.¡±


    ¡°After all, once he sneaks into Feixing in secret, then breaks through to become a Pseudo-God, you would absolutely be unable to stop him,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes flashed with cold determination, ¡°He must die.¡±


    ¡°This is also something I hope you will remember,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan and Fang Hai, ¡°As leaders of a civilization, you must be prepared to make tough choices at critical moments.¡±


    ¡°No civilization can flourish forever!¡±


    ¡°The merciful cannot command an army.¡±


    ¡°If the day comes when the civilization¡¯s very existence is at stake, even if it means ten or twenty Semi-Divines must die in battle, even if five hundred billion or a trillion people must die, that action must be taken.¡±


    ¡°The more you want to save everything, the more you will lose everything,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s words caused both Li Yuan and Fang Hai¡¯s hearts to tremble.

 Chapter 737: 392: The Gift! The Secret of the Battle Formation

    Chapter 737: Chapter 392: The Gift! The Secret of the Battle Formation


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s words indeed had a profound impact on Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    If one were alone, one could act recklessly without too much concern.


    But when tasked with the safety of an entire civilization, one must consider various aspects and must not hesitate when it¡¯s time to make a decision.


    ¡°Of course, you both have performed better than I anticipated.¡±


    ¡°At the critical moment, Fang Hai, your breakthrough in swordsmanship and the sudden increase in strength prevented that Pseudo-God Puppet from being used,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Li Yuan, you also performed very well in rescuing various planets, greatly reducing casualties among the common people.¡±


    ¡°Most importantly, you have initially grasped the mysteries of space, which is very significant,¡± Dongfang Ji remarked emotionally. ¡°To step into the threshold of the space lineage, even I had to undergo a soul metamorphosis into the Void God Realm before I could start comprehending the mysteries of space.¡±


    ...


    ¡°I was not wrong in my initial prediction; you have an incredible talent in the space law,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan understood.


    The time he sensed the mysteries of space was indeed very early, whether it was soul cultivation level or the comprehension level of Earth and Wind laws¡­ Logically, none of these were sufficient to support sensing the mysteries of space so early.


    This could only mean that his compatibility with the space law must be incredibly high.


    ¡°The breakthrough of Fang Hai.¡±


    ¡°In a sense, it completely confirmed to the Myriad Demons Civilization that I had perished,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Ultimately, Sha Kun came.¡±


    ¡°The one thing I always believed was that if Sha Kun still harbored the desire to become a True God, he would not let the opportunity of Nine Mountains World pass by,¡± Dongfang Ji stated.


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai both nodded unconsciously.


    Putting themselves in that position, faced with such an enticing opportunity, they would likely have been tempted as well.


    ¡°The only thing that surprised me was the use of a Fifth Rank Battle Array by the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji remarked. ¡°But it didn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    ¡°As soon as the Origin Power Array appeared and clashed with Fang Hai, revealing Pseudo-God level techniques, I knew it was time to draw the net,¡± Dongfang Ji stated lightly. ¡°To directly eradicate it.¡±


    ¡°Now, the Myriad Demons Civilization has completely lost the possibility of invasion.¡±


    ¡°My departure in two years will also be without worries,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at those present.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    It could be said that after this battle, the Seven Star Civilization was virtually without worries.


    ¡°Teacher, if you had set up this plan and Sha Kun Semi-Divine had ultimately not come, what would you have done?¡± Fang Hai suddenly asked.


    ¡°I would have entered Myriad Demons Civilization before leaving and fought with that Bei Yue Deity,¡± Dongfang Ji replied. ¡°I might not have killed them, but with my strength, I could deter them and buy you as much time as possible.¡±


    ¡°But under that scenario, whether I could entirely deter them, I couldn¡¯t be absolutely sure,¡± Dongfang Ji admitted openly. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°One generation should only worry about its own affairs.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, whether future civilizations will face calamities or whether they can survive¡­ that is a responsibility for you and the subsequent cultural leaders.¡±


    ¡°Even if I return in the future, if the civilization has perished, I will not be too saddened,¡± Dongfang Ji said softly. ¡°I have tried my best, and that¡¯s all I can ask for without regrets.¡±


    Li Yuan felt Dongfang Ji¡¯s state of mind.


    To try one¡¯s best and have no regrets.


    It could be said that Dongfang Ji had indeed achieved this.


    ¡°Alliance Leader, have you reached the Ninth Stage ¡®Law of Heaven and Earth¡¯ in your law comprehension?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Ninth Stage Law of Heaven and Earth? Lant Semi-Divine was also quite curious.


    He knew he was only a witness and that his talent was not comparable to the three individuals present.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Fang Hai, you must have the same doubts, right?¡±


    Fang Hai nodded. He was well aware of the classification of law comprehension and was naturally curious about the realm his teacher had reached now.


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s sword had directly eradicated the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.


    Its might was indeed terrifying.


    ¡°I have only reached the Eighth Stage High Rank in the Law of Metal,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled. ¡°However, I had concentrated on the True Intention of Space quite early¡­ The combination of Metal and Space laws makes my swordsmanship extremely powerful.¡±


    ¡°And with the addition of an Origin Divine Artifact.¡±


    ¡°That is why my swordsmanship has such might.¡±


    Li Yuan was astounded.


    Concentrated on True Intention of Space so early?


    The mystery of space equates to the Seventh Stage level, while space¡¯s true intention is akin to the Eighth Stage level of basic laws.


    Instantly, Li Yuan remembered his first meeting with Dongfang Ji, feeling as though the latter existed in another world.


    Moreover, Li Yuan¡¯s earliest choice to combine the paths of Wind and Earth was also strongly supported by Dongfang Ji, who had arranged for Lie Feng Semi-Divine to mentor him, suggesting that ¡®comprehending different laws might achieve higher understanding of the space law.¡¯


    It could be said.


    Although Dongfang Ji hadn¡¯t reached the Ninth Stage ¡®Law of Heaven and Earth,¡¯ the shock he brought to Li Yuan had not diminished much.


    ¡°Secondly,¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°the Origin Power Battle Array, in terms of defense, is relatively weak¡­ If it were a real Pseudo-God, even just a beginner Pseudo-God Powerhouse, with Divine Fire ignited within the body and the divine spirit indestructible, I think killing with one sword would be difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan and Fang Hai both felt quite emotional in their hearts.


    The strength Dongfang Ji demonstrated was indeed frightful, and yet he was only a Pseudo-God after all.


    Suddenly.


    A thought struck Li Yuan, and he executed ¡®Divine Palace Exploration,¡¯ a formless fluctuation swept across Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°[Target Life Level: 48.9]¡± Li Yuan received the feedback, and was startled.


    As expected!!


    Dongfang Ji was indeed of Eight Star Veins¡­ In Li Yuan¡¯s estimation, without such strong star veins and basic strength, the powerful star techniques and swordsmanship might not have been so terrifying.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins.¡±


    ¡°As Dongfang Alliance Leader mentioned, when he was at the Second Rank, he had the Six Star Pulse. So, should he have the Seven Star Veins at the Third Rank and achieve the Eight Star Veins when he became a Demigod?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind was filled with numerous thoughts. ¡°A Demigod with Eight Star Veins¡­ Even in the Divine Realm, that would be considered monstrously talented.¡±


    The foundational Star Meridians and the Law Talent are the two most crucial aspects for a Cultivator.


    And in whichever aspect, Dongfang Ji¡¯s displayed prowess was already exceptionally notable.


    ¡°Li Yuan, Fang Hai,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°due to my arrangements, you both have already used one Law Treasure each, I will gift each of you another one.¡±


    ¡°Of course, the attributes of the Law Treasure I obtained do not match yours, its might when manipulated will definitely be weaker.¡±


    Huh! Huh!


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand, and two small swords emitting a hazy golden light had already flown and landed in front of Li Yuan and Fang Hai.


    ¡°Alliance Leader, you¡­¡± Li Yuan had just begun to speak.


    ¡°Hold onto it. These kinds of Law Treasures are useless for me, as my own strength already surpasses the might these treasures can unleash,¡± Dongfang Ji shook his head and said, ¡°What should I do, exchange them for Divine Crystals? Pointless!¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan and Fang Hai obediently picked up the golden small swords, briefly refined them, and then stored them away.


    With Fang Hai¡¯s strength, in reality, the use of this type of Law Treasure wasn¡¯t that significant.


    But it was crucial for Li Yuan, especially when facing Semi-Divine Limit Experts, it counted as possessing a significant lethal weapon.


    Huh!


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand again, delivering several hundred Storage Treasures directly towards Fang Hai.


    ¡°These are the gains from those Demigods I killed, the useful ones I¡¯ve already taken,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°The rest of these items can be directly placed into the Seven Stars Treasury.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Fang Hai nodded, directly accepting these treasures.


    He was not surprised, most of the treasures in the Seven Stars Treasury had also been placed there by Dongfang Ji previously.


    Now, there were hundreds of Demigod¡¯s relics added.


    It could be said that the foundation of the Seven Stars Treasury had risen another major layer, and for a very long time to come, they need not worry about Demi-Artifacts or Divine Artifacts again.


    Nurturing the youth would also become more relaxed.


    ¡°Besides this.¡±


    ¡°The largest gain from this time is actually this Origin Power Battle Array,¡± Dongfang Ji waved his hand again, and immediately, a vast number of fiery red scales appeared in the void.


    Hundreds of them.


    These fiery red scales surrounded a fiery red Battle Armor, like Little Ice surrounding a general, vaguely forming a whole, exuding a rich fluctuation of the Fire Law.


    ¡°Is this the Origin Power Battle Array forming that Heavenly Fire Realm Beast?¡± Fang Hai asked curiously.


    ¡°That Battle Armor is the core, the other scales are supplementary,¡± Liu Bing, who had been listening by the side, suddenly spoke up, her voice clear: ¡°If other fiery red scales were lost, they could be remanufactured according to the mysteries of the Battle Armor¡¯s origin¡­ but if the Battle Armor were lost, it would be impossible to form a complete battle array.¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the origin of this Battle Armor should contain a technique known as ¡®Heavenly Fire World Beast Transformation Method,''¡± Liu Bing said.


    ¡°Respect to the Heaven Snake, a natural Divine Beast, indeed your insight is high,¡± Dongfang Ji laughed and said, ¡°You¡¯re all correct.¡±


    ¡°This Battle Armor, itself, is only a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact¡­ but being able to form a complete ¡®Eight Directions Fire Realm Array,¡¯ its value is comparable to a True God Instrument,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°It is sufficient to become another treasure of utmost importance for our Seven Star Civilization, of course¡­ it would require the birth of enough Demigods to exhibit its intended effect.¡±


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    The might of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast was witnessed by all¡­ capable of gathering a large number of Demigods and contending against Pseudo-God Powerhouses, such a treasure is indeed incredibly valuable.


    ¡°This treasure, Fang Hai, you keep it under guard by Yun,¡± commanded Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± both Fang Hai and the Phantom of Yun nodded.


    ¡°I need you all to penetrate its origin and see if you can find out whence it came,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°This battle array is highly likely not from the Myriad Demons Civilization, otherwise it would have been used more than a hundred years ago, there would be no need to wait until today.¡±


    ¡°Whence?¡±


    Everyone present tried one by one, but Lant Semi-Divine, Fang Hai, and Liu Bing could not discover much of the secret; only recognizing it as a familiar battle array treasure.


    ¡°The Divine Artifact¡¯s origin,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, Origin Power enveloped and surged into the Battle Armor¡¯s interior, sensing its primal aura.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flickered, sensing a familiar aura, almost as if he had seen it somewhere.


    ¡°How is it?¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Alliance Leader, please wait a moment.¡±


    ¡°I think, I know the origin of this Origin Power Battle Array, but I am not entirely certain,¡± Li Yuan flipped his hand.


    In his palm appeared a token, entirely red as if made of fresh blood, with special symbolic text engraved on the front.


    On the back, a Divine Palace was engraved.


    ¡°This is?¡± Dongfang Ji reached out and grabbed the token. In the next instant, the token burst into a dazzling red glow, emitting waves of profound fluctuations.


    ¡°Indeed, if only observing the Heavenly Fire World Beast might not reveal it, but sensing the Divine Artifacts and Battle Armor¡¯s primal core,¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes gleamed. ¡°These two are of the same origin.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Where did you get this token from?¡± Dongfang Ji looked towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°When I ventured into the ¡®World within Worlds¡¯ of the Fierce Feather Star Realm, I once killed a genius of the Immortal Ruins Civilization and obtained this token; at that time, I also asked the Alliance for assistance in investigating it,¡± Li Yuan said. (Chapter 257)


    ¡°Chi Yan Deity?¡± Fang Hai instantly remembered, having helped with the investigation back then.


    ¡°Chi Yan Deity, a deity from the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, born tens of thousands of years ago,¡± Fang Hai said.


    ¡°Right,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Chi Yan Deity used to be part of the opposing camp against the Ancient Torch Deity, a detail Li Yuan distinctly remembered.


    ¡°Immortal Ruins Civilization?¡±


    Dongfang Ji¡¯s eyes slightly narrowed: ¡°That makes sense, able to bring out an Origin Power Battle Array that had never appeared in the Mortal Domain, except me and¡­ only the Immortal Ruins Civilization connected with the Wandao Divine Court could.¡±


    ¡°Wandao Divine Court?¡± A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    In the materials provided by Qiu Bingzun, many Divine Realm powers were mentioned, such as the Chaos Divine Court, Wandao Divine Court¡­ Those who dared to claim the title of Divine Court were all top-tier major powers in the Divine Realm.

    Chapter 738: Chapter 393: The Secret of the Plane! True God¡¯s Reaction


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, to actually be tied up with one of the top forces of the Wandao Divine Court in the Divine Realm?


    ¡°Alliance Leader.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°What is the relationship between the Immortal Ruins Civilization and the Wandao Divine Court?¡±


    ¡°You should know that in the history of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, not just one True God had emerged, even in this era, I suspect there is still the presence of a True God overseeing it.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°but we have never found definitive evidence.¡±


    Everyone present was astonished.


    ¡°So many Divine beings had emerged, the Immortal Ruins Civilization has profound depths, many of their ancestors set off for the Divine Realm, as far as I know, many have joined the Wandao Divine Court.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Generation after generation, they also had a considerable foundation within the Wandao Divine Court.¡±


    ¡°Take the widely known ¡®Void Qianyuan Formation¡¯ from the Mortal Domain, it was the Divine ancestors from the Immortal Ruins Civilization who took some opportunities to send it back.¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan.¡± A cold voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    It was Gu You¡¯s voice.


    Li Yuan had initially refined the Ancient Divine Palace, akin to his Magical Treasure, and Gu You was communicating with him through the origin of the Divine Artifact, even Dongfang Ji didn¡¯t notice it.


    ¡°Sis, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Yuan responded.


    ¡°Because of your weak strength before, I didn¡¯t tell you many things as I was unsure how far you could go, I didn¡¯t want to pressure you,¡± Gu You conveyed, ¡°there was a war of gods ten thousand years ago, many Divine beings fell.¡±


    ¡°In the battle when the True Phoenix Divine fled, there were indeed powerhouses from the Wandao Divine Court fighting alongside our father.¡±


    ¡°At that time, both father and I thought it was a temporary alliance between the powerhouses of the Wandao Divine Court and some native Divine beings.¡±


    ¡°However, from the words of Dongfang Alliance Leader, those native Divine beings who fought against our father, might have been from the Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    ¡°They had an early connection, that¡¯s why they could trust each other.¡± Gu You¡¯s voice carried a hint of hatred, ¡°Not long after I left with True Phoenix Divine, father¡¯s Soul Lamp extinguished.¡±


    ¡°Father, likely fell at their hands.¡± Gu You¡¯s killing intent was undisguised.


    Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    Did the Divine of Immortal Ruins, in collaboration with the Divine that descended from the Wandao Divine Court, jointly kill the Ancient Torch Divine? S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    No wonder Gu You harbored such hatred.


    Through the long periods of interaction, Li Yuan could clearly feel Gu You¡¯s sentiments towards Ancient Torch Divine.


    ¡°Sis, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely avenge the Master,¡± Li Yuan responded.


    This was a promise made by Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan had never met Ancient Torch Divine, and didn¡¯t have much emotional attachment, but having pledged discipleship and received the grace of his teachings¡­ naturally, Li Yuan was obligated to repay this.


    ¡°Not in a hurry!¡±


    ¡°Once you Ascend to God, you can slowly plan then,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice also calmed down, ¡°father is already dead, the most important thing is for you to stay alive.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°In the coming period before I leave, I will do my best to clear this matter up,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°but for now, don¡¯t reveal anything, just act as if you¡¯re unaware.¡±


    ¡°The power of the Immortal Ruins Civilization is enormous, with over ten thousand Demigod powerhouses, just the apparent Pseudo-God powerhouses are over twenty,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°As I am about to depart, there¡¯s no need for you to provoke hostilities with them.¡±


    Demigod powerhouses over ten thousand? Nearly twenty Pseudo-Gods?


    Everyone present was shocked, what a massive force this was!


    Ten times that of the Myriad Demons Civilization.


    And this was just the number of known powerhouses, no wonder they dared claim to be the largest force in the Mortal Domain, even overshadowing the Crimson Sun Civilization and the Myriad Dawn Civilization in terms of momentum.


    ¡°Teacher, why does the Immortal Ruins Civilization have so many Demigods and Pseudo-Gods?¡± Fang Hai wondered, ¡°Because of the territory?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°this isn¡¯t really a secret, it¡¯s okay to tell you, have you noticed that powerful civilizations that have birthed True Gods possess far more Life Planets than normal civilizations?¡±


    Everyone present nodded involuntarily; if they checked various databases, this information was almost public.


    Civilizations like Tianliang Civilization only had one or a few Life Planets.


    Seven Star Civilization, with seven Life Planets, was already considered to have a relatively high number of Life Planets.


    But civilizations like the Myriad Demons Civilization that had birthed True Gods, possessed dozens of Life Planets¡­ the number of Life Planets of Immortal Ruins Civilization was even more, amassing hundreds.


    ¡°To Ascend to God, you must at least comprehend a certain Basic Law of the Great Dao, achieving Eighth Rank Perfection in Law Comprehension, and there is also a requirement to have some understanding of the Mysteries of Space,¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°then, with the help of Divine Fire, you can form the ¡¯embryo of the Law of Heaven and Earth¡¯, condensing Divine Rank between heaven and earth.¡±


    ¡°Divine Rank, once recognized by heaven and earth, this is a True God,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Everyone present was deep in thought.


    ¡°Eighth Rank Perfect comprehension, that is the True God Level,¡± Li Yuan contemplated inwardly, ¡°Yet Dongfang Alliance Leader¡¯s comprehension of the Law of Metal has reached the High Rank of Eighth Stage, and he has already condensed the True Intention of Space¡­ isn¡¯t he just one step away from becoming a True God.¡±


    Truly impressive.


    Note that Dongfang Ji has cultivated for less than two hundred years, and he¡¯s very young among Demigods.


    ¡°With Divine Rank, True Gods could gain many Divine Skills bestowed by heaven and earth,¡± Dongfang Ji stated, ¡°One of these Divine Skills being the merging with the origin of the Plane.¡±


    ¡°Thus, they could advance the evolution of the entire Plane.¡±


    ¡°Many barren and Dead Silence Planets would swiftly be transformed to generate life.¡±


    ¡°Normally, for each evolutionary phase of the Plane, anywhere from ten to a hundred Life Planets could be born,¡± Dongfang Ji explained, ¡°then, when the evolution of the Plane reaches its Limit, the Plane¡¯s Origin needs a long period to digest¡­ it could be as short as ten thousand years or as long as one hundred thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Only then can the next evolutionary phase of the Plane begin.¡±

 Chapter 739 - 393: The Secret of the Plane! True God’s Reaction_2

    Chapter 739: Chapter 393: The Secret of the Plane! True God¡¯s Reaction_2


    ¡°The lifespan of a True God is only thirty thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, countless civilizations in the Mortal Domain, if a True God rises, can usually evolve the plane once, and if lucky, even twice,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°like the Immortal Ruins Civilization that bore numerous True Gods¡­ The more times a plane evolves, the greater the number of Life Planets it has, and the deeper its origins.¡±


    Fang Hai and Lant Semi-Divine were quite shocked. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Yuan, however, was much calmer, as these pieces of information were not secrets in the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm differed from the Mortal Domain not fundamentally but was of a higher order and broader extent, yet some operational logic remained unchanged.


    Dimensional Planes, each one immensely vast, held planets that occupied a very small part of that spatial plane, yet they were the essence within the essence.


    And Life Planets were the essence of essences.


    ...


    In any Dimensional Plane, besides maintaining its own operation, the majority of the Plane¡¯s Origin Power was used to nurture life.


    If the Origin Power of the Plane was powerful, it would give birth to more Life Planets, and in turn, give birth to more life¡­ A civilization with more beings naturally gives rise to more strong individuals, more Semi-Divine, Pseudo-Gods, and even True Gods.


    And a True God could merge with the Plane¡¯s Origin Power to help further strengthen it.


    This was a virtuous cycle.


    ¡°External Dimensional Star Realms are all formed dependent on different Dimensional Planes. The essence of Star Realms is weak, bearing life of generally weak potential, which involves the fundamental composition of life,¡± Li Yuan sighed silently, ¡°Therefore, whether it¡¯s civilizations in the Mortal Domain or some in the Divine Realm, they don¡¯t deliberately proliferate life massively within Star Realms!¡±


    ¡°The most pivotal focus is always the Life Planets.¡±


    Star Realms, unless they were of very high-level, often only set up Breeding Areas as ¡®population seeds¡¯ to prevent civilizations from suffering cataclysmic defeats.


    ¡­


    ¡°The evolution of a Plane also has its limits; it cannot go beyond,¡± Dongfang Ji slowly stated, ¡°But even the Immortal Ruins Civilization has less than four hundred Life Planets¡­ far from reaching the carrying limit of the Plane.¡±


    ¡°The growth of a civilization, the evolution of a Plane, also encounters many disasters¡­ such as invasions by Alien Races, Divine beings destroying planets.¡±


    ¡°Such as civil wars.¡±


    ¡°And such as more than ten thousand years ago, when the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain shook, destroying the previous civilization of this plane¡­ Thousands of years later, after the plane recovered, we had our Seven Star Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°In short, my Seven Star Civilization is still very weak; it has misfortunes, but also fortunes.¡±


    ¡°The key lies in the people.¡±


    ¡°If generation after generation of strong individuals seize opportunities, my Seven Star Civilization has hope of surpassing the Immortal Ruins Civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said somberly, ¡°But if they lack initiative, aren¡¯t diligent enough¡­ the end might also be very tragic.¡±


    Everyone present shuddered.


    ¡°Lant Senior, Li Yuan and Fang Hai are still young, they need your side assistance,¡± Dongfang Ji changed his tone, ¡°I have also left a gift for you, which I will have Xiao Yun pass to you later¡­ it might be of help.¡±


    ¡°I hope that when I return, you will have achieved Pseudo-God,¡± Dongfang Ji smiled, ¡°Then, we can still share a drink together.¡±


    Dongfang Ji held great respect for Senior Lant.


    ¡°Haha, Dongfang, then I¡¯ll take your word for it,¡± Lant Semi-Divine laughed, ¡°Li Yuan and Fang Hai are both excellent; I believe they can lead the civilization well. I will also do my best, though becoming a Pseudo-God¡­ the hopes are slim, but I will definitely try hard.¡±


    ¡°Senior, you have only cultivated for a few hundred years and are far from the end of your lifespan, there ultimately is hope,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Lant Semi-Divine nodded. He was also a Semi-Divine Peak Expert and naturally harbored thoughts of ascending to God.


    A lifespan of five thousand years!


    Who wouldn¡¯t yearn for that?


    ¡°Li Yuan, you have received many opportunities already; I have nothing material to give you,¡± Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan and said, ¡°so I¡¯ll give you some advice instead.¡±


    ¡°Advice?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Whoosh!


    Dongfang Ji waved his hand, and a dark red Crystal Stone fell in front of Li Yuan, hovering.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°This is set according to the characteristics of your Origin Power; open it when you become Semi-Divine,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Don¡¯t try to open it now; it will self-destruct¡­¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan stored the dark red Crystal Stone away.


    Semi-Divine?


    ¡°Li Yuan, Senior Lant, you both leave first,¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°I have some words to speak privately with Fang Hai.¡±


    Li Yuan bowed respectfully and immediately, taking Liu Bing, shot into the sky and quickly vanished.


    ¡­


    In the void.


    ¡°Big brother, where are we going?¡± Liu Bing asked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back to Blue Star,¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°In the coming time, once your strength advances further, we¡¯ll prepare to venture into the Nine Leaves World.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Liu¡¯s eyes brightened.


    Then, Liu couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Big brother, why do you seem unhappy? We won the battle, and the Dongfang Alliance Leader ¡®came back to life¡¯; shouldn¡¯t you be happy?¡±


    ¡°We won.¡±


    ¡°But many people within our civilization also died,¡± Li Yuan sighed, ¡°And soon, the Alliance Leader will truly leave¡­ I don¡¯t know if there will be another chance to meet him after Dongfang Alliance Leader leaves.¡±


    Liu Bing listened, unable to understand Li Yuan¡¯s feelings towards Dongfang Ji¡­ In her view, Li Yuan and Dongfang Ji seemed not to have interacted much, hardly enough to speak of deep feelings.


    ¡­


    Outside the Demon Mountain Star Realm Passage, only Fang Hai and Dongfang Ji were left.


    ¡°Teacher.¡±


    ¡°Where you are going, is it really somewhere?¡± Fang Hai couldn¡¯t help asking.


    Some things could only be discussed between them.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dongfang Ji nodded, ¡°but it¡¯s not just a simple departure, it¡¯s rather complicated.¡±


    ¡°What the future holds, I cannot predict,¡± Dongfang Ji said.


    Fang Hai voiced his concern, ¡°Teacher, will there be danger?¡±


    ¡°Silly boy, in the path of cultivation, is there ever no danger?¡± Dongfang Ji laughed, ¡°Haven¡¯t you also faced many hardships while venturing through the Nine Leaves World?¡±

 Chapter 740 - 393: The Secret of the Plane! True God’s Reaction_3

    Chapter 740: Chapter 393: The Secret of the Plane! True God¡¯s Reaction_3


    ¡°You also know that ¡®Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡¯ is merely the foundation; this path is a significant opportunity but even riskier and unpredictable.¡±


    Fang Hai nodded slightly.


    ¡°However, looking at it now, it seems we might have to inconvenience you, delaying your journey to ¡®Ninth Mountain¡¯ in the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    ¡°Wherefore such words, teacher?¡± Fang Hai shook his head and said, ¡°The teacher has already delayed for decades for the sake of civilization, and it cannot continue to be postponed¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s growth is incredibly fast, already terrifying in strength before even becoming Semi-Divine, once he enters the Nine Leaves World, and after achieving Semi-Divine status, he is sure to become a Golden Garment even faster than I.¡±


    ¡°It is most suitable for Li Yuan to walk the path you have laid out, teacher.¡±


    ¡°On the other hand, for me to possess the strength to traverse the Nine Mountains, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll need to spend a few more decades in concealed cultivation, without any absolute certainty of success,¡± Fang Hai laughed and said, ¡°Teacher, you have guarded our civilization for a century.¡±


    ...


    ¡°It is my turn, why not?¡±


    ¡°Even if I have to cultivate in the Mortal Domain long-term, it¡¯s not impossible to awaken my Eight Star Veins, isn¡¯t that what you did, teacher?¡± Fang Hai smiled and said, ¡°I have always aimed to emulate you, teacher.¡±


    Dongfang Ji sighed inwardly, patted Fang Hai¡¯s shoulder, and said no more.


    He knew that it wasn¡¯t because Fang Hai wasn¡¯t excellent.


    Even in the Divine Realm, Fang Hai would be considered a top genius, qualifying to enter the core echelons of many powerful forces.


    But Li Yuan¡¯s rate of growth was just too exaggerated, especially his ¡®Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡¯, which could be described as unbelievable¡­the current situation of the Seven Star Civilization also did not allow for both Li Yuan and Fang Hai to depart at the same time in the future.


    For the continuation of civilization, someone had to make a sacrifice.


    And whether it was Dongfang Ji or Fang Hai, the choice they made was the same¡ªFang Hai would stay behind.


    ¡­


    The battle between Myriad Demons Civilization and Seven Star Civilization.


    Myriad Demons Civilization did not spread the news.


    But with the fall of hundreds of Semi-Divine beings, what a devastating defeat it was, and the friends, family, and disciples of these Semi-Divine beings, when added together, was an astonishing number¡­ these people would naturally seek information and inquire.


    Secondly, Seven Star Civilization would not conceal the news; on the contrary, to deter some Alien Civilizations lurking in the shadows, Seven Star Civilization, on one hand, was spreading the news widely.


    Thus, in less than a day, the news of Myriad Demons Civilization¡¯s renewed catastrophic defeat had quickly spread from both Myriad Demons Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization, becoming known to many powerful civilizations within the Mortal Domain.


    ¡°I heard that in this battle, Myriad Demons Civilization has lost more than seven hundred Semi-Divine beings.¡±


    ¡°That many?¡±


    ¡°How many Semi-Divine beings do we have in our entire civilization? Seven Star Civilization is just too strong.¡±


    ¡°Indeed they are powerful.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve got some intel that suggests Myriad Demons Civilization used an Origin Power Battle Array this time and even a Sha Kun Semi-Divine who has reached Pseudo-God Level in Law Comprehension¡­it still ended in complete destruction.¡±


    ¡°How exactly did Seven Star Civilization fight?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not clear.¡±


    ¡°They say Dongfang Ji took action.¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t there news before that Dongfang Ji had fallen? Could it be that Dongfang Ji isn¡¯t dead?¡±


    ¡°Maybe it was all a trap to get Myriad Demons Civilization hooked.¡± Many civilizations in the Mortal Domain exchanged and debated, their intelligence networks enabling them to know the general situation.


    But more specific intelligence?


    For instance, the true combat power of the army dispatched by Myriad Demons Civilization, what powers did Dongfang Ji unleash? The specific details of the battle remained a mystery.


    After all, spies planted by various civilizations were primarily Prime Warriors, with fewer at the Flying Heaven Level, making it difficult to investigate in such detail.


    Regardless.


    After this battle, in the hearts of many civilizations in the Mortal Domain, the prestige of Seven Star Civilization became even more formidable, far surpassing that of the past and truly comparable to Myriad Demons Civilization and many other first-rate civilization forces.


    Dongfang Ji was now regarded as a ¡®force not to be provoked, tantamount to a Pseudo-God,¡¯ an almighty existence.


    And beneath the brilliance of Dongfang Ji, whether it was Fang Hai breaking through to ¡®Invincible Semi-Divine¡¯ or Li Yuan unleashing Semi-Divine Peak strength, both seemed less dazzling.


    ¡­


    ¡°Make concessions.¡±


    ¡°Send a message to Seven Star Civilization immediately, we are willing to concede and give up several territories bordering the Star Realm.¡±


    ¡°We once invaded Seven Star Civilization and are willing to apologize.¡±


    ¡°We agree to the treaty terms negotiated last time.¡± Many civilizations bordering Seven Star Civilization, after this battle, have changed their attitudes and are now immediately contacting Seven Star Civilization, hoping to end the conflict and war completely.


    ¡­


    Many civilizations discussed the matter.


    But aside from the civilizations involved in the battle, the one who paid the most attention was undoubtedly Immortal Ruins Civilization.


    Immortal Ruins Civilization, Nine Clouds Sect, within a luxurious hall in the Nine Clouds Realm.


    A multitude of rays converged, forming a figure emitting a destructive aura.


    ¡°East Demon, what exactly did you encounter? How could your entire army be annihilated?¡±


    ¡°Weren¡¯t you saying that Sha Kun Semi-Divine¡¯s Law Comprehension had reached Pseudo-God Level, commanding the Origin Power Battle Array, how could you possibly lose?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God directly asked, ¡°Even if Dongfang Ji truly survived and his powers defy heaven, at most he could suppress the Origin Power Battle Array, right?¡±


    After Yan Lin Pseudo-God gathered the rough details from various channels, his heart was both shocked that Dongfang Ji was still alive and even more shocked by the end of the war.


    A single battle resulted in a loss of over seven hundred Semi-Divines?


    Even a power such as the Immortal Ruins Civilization would be unwilling to bear such losses.


    ¡°The news spread by the Seven Star Civilization is mostly true,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity sighed lightly, ¡°We indeed lost, and lost miserably¡­ Even the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array has been lost, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°The agreement we made before, I can no longer fulfill,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity shook his head, ¡°The treasures I pledged to you previously need not be returned to me.¡±


    Both parties had made Law oaths, and the Eastern Demon Deity, as the leader of the Myriad Demons Civilization, was quite proud and naturally wouldn¡¯t act shamelessly.


    ¡°What about Dongfang Ji?¡±


    ¡°Why is he so strong? What exactly happened in the battle?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God pressed urgently, ¡°Has Dongfang Ji become a Pseudo-God?¡±


    He was eager to know how Dongfang Ji defeated the Origin Power Battle Array. If Dongfang Ji had indeed become a Pseudo-God, such a result wouldn¡¯t be surprising.


    ¡°There is nothing to tell,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    ¡°Eastern Demon!¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God instantly became furious, ¡°We were allies in this war, and yet you refuse to tell me? Don¡¯t forget, it was you who came to us for help, and we handed over the Eight Directions Fire Realm Array to you.¡±


    ¡°It was just cooperation,¡± replied the Eastern Demon Deity, shaking his head.


    ¡°Yan Lin.¡±


    ¡°Our alliance was formed with the purpose of capturing the treasures of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity looked at him, ¡°Now, since we can no longer invade the Seven Star Civilization¡­ our covenant naturally becomes invalid. The detailed strength information of Dongfang Ji and other Semi-Divines of the Seven Star Civilization was bought with the lives of hundreds of our Semi-Divines.¡±


    ¡°It cannot be given to you for free.¡±


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God was taken aback but quickly calmed down, staring at the other party, ¡°Speak, what do you want?¡±


    He must obtain the detailed information about the Seven Star Civilization.


    Otherwise, Yan Lin Pseudo-God would feel uneasy.


    ¡°My requirements are not high,¡± said the Eastern Demon Deity, ¡°I need two ¡®Fire System True God Cultivation Insights.¡¯ This should not be difficult for your Immortal Ruins Civilization.¡±


    ¡°True God Cultivation Insights?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God¡¯s gaze narrowed slightly.


    This item was extremely valuable, and most civilizations in the Mortal Domain did not possess it¡­ but it was not too high a cost either, because cultivation insights could be copied endlessly, meaning his own civilization wasn¡¯t really losing anything.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God did not answer right away, bowing his head as if deep in thought, or perhaps communicating with other high-level members of his civilization.


    The Eastern Demon Deity patiently waited.


    After a while.


    ¡°Alright, I can agree to your terms,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God said solemnly, ¡°But I hope the information you provide is of sufficient value.¡±


    ¡°Rest assured, you will not be disappointed,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said.


    Time passed.


    The two of them made Law oaths. Yan Lin Pseudo-God handed over two ¡®True God Cultivation Insights.¡¯


    Only then did the Eastern Demon Deity begin to relate the detailed information.


    Like through combat simulations, the detailed strength information about Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and others was fully disclosed by the Eastern Demon Deity without reservation.


    Yan Lin Pseudo-God listened with constant shock, particularly when he heard about Dongfang Ji¡¯s sword destroying the Origin Power Battle Array, his heart trembled.


    Such power was indeed too exaggerated.


    If a Semi-Divine was this strong, upon breaking through to Pseudo-God, wouldn¡¯t he be comparable to a True God with a Pseudo-God¡¯s body in the future?


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°This is all the information known by my Myriad Demons Civilization,¡± the Eastern Demon Deity said, ¡°I can also assure you that we have not leaked the origin of the Origin Power Battle Array.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The Eastern Demon Deity¡¯s form dissipated. For him, after such a devastating defeat and with Dongfang Ji terrifyingly strong, there was only one path left¡ªBecoming a True God!


    Only by becoming a True God and hiding within the Dimensional Plane could the Eastern Demon Deity feel at ease.


    This was also why he requested the two cultivation insights.


    ¡°How can these people of the Seven Star Civilization be so strong?¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God shook his head in secret, ¡°Time to report to the True God.¡±


    With one step, he quickly arrived at the highest point in the Nine Clouds Realm. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­under the dark night sky.


    ¡°True God, the detailed information is as follows. I believe that the Eastern Demon Deity has lost the courage to continue warring with the Seven Star Civilization,¡± Yan Lin Pseudo-God reported respectfully.


    He had just recounted the entire situation to Chi Yan True God.


    ¡°Contact the Seven Star Civilization immediately,¡± the fiery figure¡¯s voice echoed through heaven and earth, ¡°Prepare a generous gift.¡±


    ¡°To apologize to them, to resolve grudges.¡±

 Chapter 745 395: Farewell

    Dongfang Ji had left, and apart from Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Lant Semi-Divine, no one else was temporarily in the know.


    Although the recent great battle had severely injured the Myriad Demons Civilization and chilled the courage of various civilizations, it was almost impossible for the Seven Star Civilization to encounter another invasion soon, but it was always better to be cautious.


    And though the Soul Lamp of Dongfang Ji had extinguished, the location of the Soul Lamp was controlled only by Fang Hai and Lant Semi-Divine.


    Moreover, with Ye An Semi-Divine in good condition, once other Semi-Divines within the civilization saw him, they would know Dongfang Ji was alive, and it would be unlikely for them to become suspicious in the near future.


    Returning from outer space beyond Feixing.


    "Leaving tomorrow?" Lant Semi-Divine, upon hearing Li Yuan''s account, couldn''t help but be stunned, "So soon? Aren''t you going to cultivate within the civilization for a while longer?"


    "In the Flying Heaven Realm, I''ve already stayed long enough, and continuing my cultivation wouldn''t lead to any qualitative changes in my strength, and the cultivation speed would only slow down, even to the point of reaching a bottleneck," said Li Yuan. "In the Nine Leaves World, perhaps there are the things I''m seeking."


    This was Li Yuan''s honest opinion.


    His goal was the Third Rank Nine-Star Pulse, which had extremely high requirements in many respects, such as Law Comprehension and Soul Will¡­ even though Li Yuan possessed the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    But to have the Spiritual Awakening reach its maximum limit of 100%, the Soul Realm must first break through to the 50th level of the Pseudo-God Level, or even higher.


    The transformation of Soul Will, in addition to the growth through the Visualization Method, external trials, and spiritual growth, was also extremely important.


    As for external objects?


    The Seven Star Civilization was too small; the treasures needed for Li Yuan to cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique "Myriad Shadows Void" were simply unattainable¡­ Moreover, being nearly invincible within the civilization, he faced almost no pressure.


    If he left the Plane to venture into the Starry Sky Space Rift¡­ it would be better to go directly to the Nine Leaves World.


    "Go ahead and venture forth," Fang Hai said with a smile. "The Nine Leaves World holds many dangers, and knowing your temperament, not daring to venture there would actually be odd."


    Fang Hai had watched Li Yuan grow up all along the way.


    World within Worlds treasure fight, battle in the Ming Xu Star Realm, sweeping the Second Level Star Realm, desperately awakening the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, crisis in Lantie Star, and the recently concluded invasion by Wan Mo¡­ Fang Hai knew well that Li Yuan was passionate and loyal.


    However, within his bones, Li Yuan also tirelessly pursued the limits of cultivation.


    Otherwise, he would not have desperately struggled to attain a Semi-divine Level Soul, and then worked hard to awaken the Eight Star Veins.


    The Nine Leaves World contained vast opportunities.


    "Nine Leaves Nine Mountains."


    "It contains great crises, as well as crisis for our Seven Star Civilization," Fang Hai said. "Teacher, you''re in such a hurry to leave, it''s actually related to the little truth about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain you''ve come to understand."


    Fang Hai had talked with Dongfang Ji alone and had a deeper understanding of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain than others.


    "The truth?" Lant Semi-Divine was startled.


    "There''s a saying you used to say," Fang Hai continued, "Becoming a Pseudo-God, or even a True God¡­ can stabilize our Seven Star Civilization, but cannot permanently resolve the crisis of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain."


    Li Yuan nodded, this dig deep was a reason he had always pursued the limits of Star Veins.


    Had he not known about the existence of Nine Star Veins and Ten-Star Veins, that''d be another story.


    But knowing them, he would exert his utmost effort.


    "Teacher, it''s the same understanding,"


    "He left enough contingencies and fallbacks for the civilization to ensure it won''t fall," Fang Hai said. "If he stayed in the Mortal Domain, becoming a True God in the future would be easy¡­ but the hope of becoming a Heavenly Divine would be far slimmer."


    Both Li Yuan and Lant Semi-Divine nodded.


    Heavenly Divine?


    In the entire Mortal Domain, across ten thousand dimensional planes, most hadn''t even seen a True God born, not to mention a Heavenly Divine.


    "Li Yuan, the things you want to do, Teacher also wants to do," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan with a smile, "Teacher also yearns to become a Heavenly Divine, and then one day come back to try and completely resolve the civilization''s hidden threats."


    "Secondly,"


    "The rise and fall of civilizations, to our knowledge, the oldest civilization recorded in the entire Mortal Domain doesn''t exceed ten million years..." Fang Hai said, "Older civilizations were either destroyed by other civilizations or encountered natural disasters."


    "In this world, there is no civilization that lasts forever."


    "Like now, the Myriad Demons Civilization fears us, and the Immortal Ruins Civilization hopes to keep peace with us, not because we have strong individuals emerging constantly, it''s merely because of Teacher, you, and me," Fang Hai said. "Especially Teacher and you, who have talents strong enough to make any True God take notice."


    "Headmaster, you are no lesser," Li Yuan quickly replied.


    "I am well aware of myself, not as good as Teacher, and not as good as you," Fang Hai said thoughtfully. "But even if it''s us, we can''t live forever."


    "A True God, too, only lives for thirty thousand years."


    "Our Seven Star Civilization, with only seven Life Planets, is extremely fortunate to have given birth to Teacher and you in such a short time," Fang Hai said. "We must strive even harder for future generations to produce more who can become Half-Gods, Pseudo-Gods, and ''ordinary geniuses''."


    "If our Seven Star Civilization could have thousands of Demigods and several Pseudo-Gods, even without top powerhouses like Teacher¡­ we would still have no fear of invasions."


    Li Yuan understood Fang Hai''s meaning.


    Similar words had also been said by Dongfang Ji.


    No one could live forever, a civilization''s strength could depend on one person for a short time, but not forever.


    Heavenly Divine could only live three hundred thousand years, the Immortal Ruins Civilization stood in the Mortal Domain for a million years, relying on the emergence of generation after generation of powerhouses.


    The emergence of powerhouses required fertile ground as well as a significant population base.


    "Becoming a True God could trigger a dimensional evolution, making the number of Life Planets within the dimension skyrocket."


    "If becoming a Heavenly Divine, within tens of thousands of years, it would be possible to trigger multiple evolutionary events for our dimension, making our dimension''s number of Life Planets surpass that of the Immortal Ruins Civilization," Fang Hai said. "By then, the entire civilization would have a solid foundation to give birth to True Gods generation after generation."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    In the Mortal Domain, if a civilization continuously had a Pseudo-God in residence, hardly anyone would invade, and if a True God was always present¡­ that would be an absolute dominance.


    "Dongfang Alliance Leader has already gone ahead."


    "I can''t fall behind, Headmaster, I will definitely strive," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    When he was a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan already had this realization.


    The sky had its support from tall people, and within the Seven Star Civilization, he was that tall person.


    The strength and continuity of a civilization, to completely resolve the ''Burial Immortal Ancient Domain crisis'', who would step up if he did not?


    Dongfang Alliance Leader was indeed powerful, but ordinary people still had to walk on two legs. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    How could one only depend on a single person?


    If so, it would render the efforts of Alliance Leader Dongfang meaningless.


    "Li Yuan, with your strength, passing through the Nine Leaves World''s trials is a piece of cake, but the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain contains many great secrets, which even I, your teacher, cannot completely perceive," Fang Hai said. "In any case, you must be very careful."


    "Mhmm." Li Yuan nodded earnestly.


    Only by living does one have endless possibilities.


    Whoosh!


    Fang Hai flipped his palm, and a Glazed Antique Lamp emitting firelight appeared in his hand. "Li Yuan, this is the Soul Lamp. Condense your Divine Sense onto the wick."


    "You''re going to the Nine Leaves World, and we need to be aware of whether you are alive or dead."


    "Okay." Li Yuan had refined a Soul Lamp once before and finished the task swiftly with practiced ease.


    ...


    Seeing off Li Yuan...


    Lant Semi-Divine remarked contemplatively, "He truly is spirited and bold. Observing Li Yuan sometimes reminds me of the young Dongfang, bravely pressing forward, full of energy and fighting spirit."


    "Lant, you aren''t old," Fang Hai joked.


    "Compared to you all, I am," Lant Semi-Divine remarked. "But with Dongfang gone and Li Yuan likely not staying much longer, it''ll be tough on you to remain here."


    Lant Semi-Divine had already guessed Dongfang Ji''s arrangements.


    "Both the teacher and Li Yuan are risking their lives by venturing forth, the path to ascend to Heavenly Divine is not easy," Fang Hai said, shaking his head. "I, staying within our civilization, am actually in no danger."


    Lant Semi-Divine said no more.


    Which mighty individual would pass up on the opportunity to venture into the Divine Realm, or witness a broader universe?


    ...


    In Feixing, a city.


    "Master," Sang Qiu Demigod said respectfully.


    Having flown from Lantie Star, she had just returned across the starry sky to Feixing.


    "Mhmm." Li Yuan looked at her and said, "From now on, you will stay permanently in Feixing, following the orders of the Alliance Leader. Unless there is an emergency, you shall not leave Feixing. Understood?"


    "Yes," Sang Qiu Demigod replied.


    Soul Control has many drawbacks, the biggest being that servants regain their freedom once their master perishes.


    Hence, Soul-controlled servants were often used as undercover agents within rival factions, minimizing any loss even in the case of their master''s demise.


    This is also why those controlled Alien Race guest elders and semi-divines are all placed on Feixing... As the core of the Seven Star Civilization, it boasts the most formidable military force capable of suppression at any moment.


    "Legend has it," Li Yuan thought to himself, "in the Divine Realm among Heavenly Divines, some formidable entities who fully comprehend the Law of the Great Dao can create a perfect method of Soul Control."


    When cast, deeply ingrained in the servant''s soul, it ensures they share life and death with their master.


    Master dies, so does the servant.


    That is absolute control.


    Unfortunately, even among Heavenly Divines, very few accomplish this since not every Heavenly Divine excels in the mysteries of the soul.


    Thus, according to what Li Yuan knew, followers were more prevalent in the Divine Realm... Mighty beings bound by a vow to pursue even greater ones, having some restrictions but still more acceptable than mere servants.


    ...


    Upon returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan''s family, having already gathered from various parts of Xia Country at Kunlun Martial University, received the news.


    "To undergo Concealed Cultivation? Five years, or even ten?" The crowd couldn''t help but discuss upon hearing Li Yuan''s words.


    The Nine Leaves Nine Mountains was a secret, not to be disclosed.


    Thus, Li Yuan did not reveal the true reason to his family, merely mentioning that he was about to seclude himself for a long time.


    According to the experiences left by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai, the first venture into the Nine Leaves World usually took a year or two.


    During which there would be absolutely no contact with the outside world.


    Li Yuan estimated for himself that, even with his strength far surpassing that of the previous Alliance Leader and the headmaster, ten years ought to suffice.


    "Is it going to be so long?" Chen Hui couldn''t help but ask, "Can''t you return in the middle?"


    "Big brother, can''t even communicate?" Li Qianqian also said, "The great battle on Feixing just ended! After such a victorious battle, is it necessary for Dongfang Ji to exert himself so much?"


    As Li Yuan''s family, they had channels of information inaccessible to most Flying Heaven Warriors.


    About the great battle that had taken place on Feixing, Chen Hui naturally knew quite a bit.


    "Aunt, I must go," Li Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.


    But seeing Dongfang Ji''s determination to move forward and Fang Hai''s decision to stay, Li Yuan had no hesitations left.


    "What kind of talk is that?" Li Changzhou said gravely, "Li Yuan is now among the top echelons of our civilization. How can he consider only our small family? It''s only ten years."


    "Li Yuan."


    "Go without worries. You''ve left so many treasures, so many Flying Heaven puppets, and we can contact several demigods at any time... With me here, there''s nothing to worry about," Li Changzhou reassured Li Yuan: "Your strength is immense and I can''t help with your cultivation."


    "But I know one thing," he continued, "as a leader of our civilization, you should perform the duties of a leader. Once you''ve chosen to take responsibility, you cannot retreat."


    Li Yuan nodded.


    With his uncle present, Li Yuan indeed never worried about his home; Li Changzhou rarely troubled Li Yuan.


    Like many relatives and friends from earlier years, though not without the desire to approach Li Yuan... All were stopped by Li Changzhou.


    ...Li Yuan then visited Bai Shan Demigod in Xia Country Capital, and they talked for a long time.


    After arranging everything,


    On June 19, 2055, of the Seven Stars Calendar, Blue Star Leader Li Yuan left Blue Star again.


    When he would return, might be in a year or two, or perhaps even longer.

 Chapter 746 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission

    Feixing, Blazing Flame City.


    Ever since the Flame City Semi-Divine had built the city, making it the stronghold of the Blazing Flame Family, the location was naturally advantageous, situated by the riverside of a great river.


    After a century of development, the city had become quite prosperous. Although it was not as grand as Jiang City, with a population nearing ten million, it could be considered a metropolis.


    In the highest level of an ultra-large building that resembled a giant divine bird in appearance.


    From here, one could overlook the entire Blazing Flame City.


    "You''re going to venture into the Star Realm?" Lin Lanyue, clad in a fiery red robe, listened to Li Yuan''s story. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Mhm," Li Yuan nodded. "This trip might last several years."


    Over the years, Lin Lanyue had achieved intermediate rank True Intent Comprehension, ranking her among the first tier of the Seven Star Mountain members, and she was recognized as someone with a future hope to become Semi-Divine. Consequently, her status was somewhat elevated.


    Li Yuan naturally was able to share more information with her.


    Of course, Nine Leaves Star Realm and Nine Mountains Star Realm remained secrets.


    Even within the Seven Star Civilization, many who had reached the Flying Heaven Realm and gone to the Nine Leaves Star Realm did so without knowing the route, escorted by a Demigod.


    "Several years? Is there no way to contact?" Lin Lanyue asked, puzzled.


    "Mhm," Li Yuan nodded. "That place is somewhat similar to a World within Worlds, but it''s probably much more mysterious."


    "The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?" Lin Lanyue said with a smile.


    Seeing a flash of surprise on Li Yuan''s face, Lin Lanyue continued with a smile, "After all, I am a Registered Disciple of the True Phoenix Divine. Back in the day, when my Master followed the Ancient Torch Divine to battle, it was for the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain... With my authority at the Peak of the Flying Heaven Realm within the civilization, I should be able to access all Third Level Star Realms, yet none fit the description you gave."


    "If you''re venturing into the Star Realm, there''s no need to lie to me... unless it is the legendary Burial Immortal Ancient Domain," Lin Lanyue stated.


    Li Yuan was speechless.


    Due to the True Phoenix Divine, Lin Lanyue''s perspective was on par with many Demigods, making it indeed difficult to keep her completely in the dark.


    "How are you faring in the Blazing Flame Family?" Li Yuan asked.


    As Li Yuan understood, after the great battle of Feixing, and with the fall of the Flame City Semi-Divine, Lin Lanyue had returned to the Blazing Flame Family.


    "Not bad."


    "My parents support me immensely, and I''ve already taken over as Clan Leader," Lin Lanyue said. "Without the ancestor, the mood within the family is anxious. Although the Alliance Hierarch personally decreed compensations for our family, and they''ve promised to particularly cultivate many of our family''s younger generation, the loss of the ancestor still means the family''s power will certainly decline, so the clan elders now view me as even more important."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    This decline was unavoidable; the compensations from the Alliance ensured a safety net, securing the wealth left by the Semi-Divine of Flame City from being plundered.


    But the growth of any family and the nurturing of younger members always consume vast wealth... If a Demigod were alive, they could continuously give back to the family.


    Just as when Li Yuan was present, he did everything possible to ensure his Uncle and Aunt could reach the Flying Heaven Realm.


    But what if Li Yuan were gone? The high ranks of the Seven Star Alliance would only ensure that Li Changzhou and the others could live out their lives peacefully.


    "In fact, right before the battle, the ancestor had specifically found me to talk about many things..."


    "The ancestor said."


    "Your talent is absolutely the best across the entire Mortal Domain, surpassing even the predecessors Dongfang Ji and Alliance Hierarch Fang Hai. You will surely head to the Divine Realm in the future... I know your character, pursuing the peak of cultivation has always been your dream," Lin Lanyue continued. "You carry the responsibility of the rise of our civilization, and you can''t allow yourself to give up."


    "If we were indeed together, I''d probably always be very lonely and always worried about your life and death," Lin Lanyue shook her head. "Just like during the Ming Xu Star Realm incident when news came of your demise... Just like now you are about to adventure into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain... and it will be many years."


    "If you go to the Divine Realm, I might not hear from you for a hundred years, or even a thousand, and my whole life might pass by waiting."


    "And if you asked me to follow you, it would not only be a burden on you, but I also could not bear to leave my family behind," Lin Lanyue shook her head.


    "I really don''t want to live like that," Lin Lanyue said softly. "Li Yuan, I''m sorry."


    Li Yuan opened his mouth but ultimately fell silent, unable to say anything in rebuttal.


    He hadn''t expected Lin Lanyue to suddenly bring up such a candid conversation.


    After a while.


    "Fine," declared Li Yuan, decisive as always. "Lanyue, I had actually prepared a gift for you, anticipating your breakthrough to the Flying Heaven Realm. Regardless, I can''t let my preparations go to waste."


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan gestured towards the void in the air.


    A suit of Combat Armor emerged between them, its armor faintly adorned with red Secret Runes, exuding exquisiteness and emitting peculiar fluctuations.


    It was a set of the Fire System ''Semi Divine Artifact'' made up of no fewer than nine Semi Divine Artifacts. Li Yuan had meticulously selected it from the Seven Stars Treasury. It was indeed a premium among Semi Divine Artifacts.


    For those in the Flying Heaven Realm, unless cultivating the Nine Layer Star Vein, most will not be able to use Divine Artifacts.

 Chapter 747 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission_2

    "This?" A flicker of surprise passed through Lin Lanyue''s eyes. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Take it," Li Yuan, having thought everything through, let go and said with a serene smile, "Just like you said, we are still friends, and it''s not excessive for friends to exchange gifts."


    "Alright." Lin Lanyue no longer refused, waving her hand to accept the set of battle armor.


    "Lanyue, then I''ll be leaving," said Li Yuan.


    "Take care. Survival comes first when you''re out there making your way," Lin Lanyue couldn''t help saying.


    "You too."


    Whoosh! Li Yuan took a step forward, and with the void trembling, he vanished at the edge of the heavens and earth.


    Watching this scene,


    "I..." Tears were hinted in Lin Lanyue''s eyes as she murmured to herself, "Li Yuan, as you fight and battle within the Ming Xu Star Realm, I can''t help you; as you sweep through the Second-Level Star Realm, I still can''t aid you."


    "In the battle of Feixing, you''ve stood at the peak of civilization, even stronger than the ancient ancestors. The enemies you''ll face include demigods and divinities from a foreign civilization, yet I''m still just a Prime Warrior."


    "Once, I thought that with effort, one day I could be close to you, and that we could be together just like my parents... The years at Seven Star Mountain made me feel like we were truly close to each other."


    "But the truth proves that the gap between us is only growing."


    "Now, the gap is so wide that it''s irreparable, to the extent that I see no hope of catching up, not even coming close," tears streamed down from the corners of Lin Lanyue''s eyes.


    She was willing to accompany Li Yuan on his adventures, even to the legendary Divine Realm... but Lin Lanyue had realized something.


    She and Li Yuan were destined to live in different worlds.


    "A burden!"


    "Even if I followed him all the way, I would only be a hindrance, so why insist?" Lin Lanyue thought bitterly, "Even if I insisted, hundreds or thousands of years later, when my life reaches its end... The disparity in Life Level will still bring about separation by life and death."


    It was because she''d come to this understanding that after the battle of Feixing, she decided to give up on this feeling willingly.


    "Let''s just wish each other well."


    ...


    In the void,


    Liu Bing and Li Yuan were flying rapidly.


    "Brother, are you really going to give up? I think Lin Lanyue is quite good," Liu Bing sent telepathically.


    During those years at Seven Star Mountain, although Liu Bing didn''t appear, she still observed the interactions between Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue in secret.


    "I can''t insist."


    "Just as Lanyue said herself," Li Yuan spoke softly, "She doesn''t want to live in fear, nor does she wish to wait anxiously each time... but I also can''t give up the path of cultivation."


    "This path, not only for the sake of civilization but also for myself," Li Yuan''s eyes shone with a fighting spirit, "I too am eager to witness the vastness and wonders between heaven and earth, to reach the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, to see what lies at the end of the cultivation path."


    "In the future, if you go to the Divine Realm, she can follow, right?" Liu Bing said carelessly.


    "To do so would not be fair to her," Li Yuan shook his head, "Her parents, her loved ones are in the Seven Star Civilization, her family is also in the Seven Star Civilization... If she were to follow me to the Divine Realm, constantly battling and drifting about, would that truly be happiness?"


    "If she doesn''t accompany me to the Divine Realm, the separation could last for many years, how painful would that be?"


    Of course, even as he said this, Li Yuan understood the core reason was that they couldn''t reach a point where they could share life and death together.


    Put simply, it wasn''t enough love.


    Ordinary people''s love doesn''t need to face the test of life and death all the time.


    The gods, with their long lifespans, might have many offspring, but most don''t have a partner they can absolutely trust and commit their lives to... The stronger the cultivator, the more self-centered they are, naturally the higher their expectations for a partner will be, and thus, the harder it is to find.


    Like Dongfang Ji, who is extremely strict even with his own progeny.


    "Happiness?" Liu Bing was speechless.


    Although her insight and experience were remarkable, and she held vast inheritances of memories, she had little experience with matters of love and affection.


    In her view, what''s wrong with braving life and death together?


    "It''s alright, brother, if you don''t have a partner, you still have me to accompany you," Liu Bing giggled.


    "Hmm."


    "Let''s see what makes the Nine Leaves World so special," Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Boom!


    After flying for a long time, Li Yuan and Liu Bing reached the far southern region of Feixing, a place of mystery.


    All around was darkness, and the vast waters below were completely black.


    "Guided by the information provided by the principal."


    "The entrance to the Nine Leaves World is right here," Li Yuan looked down at the dark waters, unfathomable.


    Suddenly,


    Swoosh! The waters violently split open, and immediately following, a figure swathed in a golden robe emerged from the depths of the sea, charging towards Li Yuan at an alarming speed.


    "This is?" Li Yuan was startled. He felt a deadly threat emanating from the golden figure.


    A threat that could end his life.


    "Brother, this guy is troublesome," Liu Bing also immediately noticed the opponent.


    Instinctively, Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Inquiry: "[Target exceeds the limit of inquiry]."


    Exceeds the limit? Is it at the Pseudo-God Level?


    With Li Yuan''s current strength in Origin Power, he could even detect a demigod of the Eight Stars.


    Just as Li Yuan thought to retreat, the golden figure had already arrived in front of him but stopped abruptly, nodding slightly, "Vice Alliance Hierarch Li, hello, I am Dongfang Jia."


    Dongfang Jia? Li Yuan was baffled.


    "Li Yuan, he is one of the three Pseudo-God Puppets Master left behind," a deep voice suddenly resounded, and a stream of light took shape into a Phantom wearing a white garment.


    "Master Yun," Li Yuan''s face brightened.


    "Master Yun," Liu Bing emerged from Li Yuan''s sleeve, also nodding slightly in respect.

 Chapter 748 396: Entering the Nine Leaves World! Purple Garment Mission_3

    Externally, Liu Bing always maintained her disguise very well.


    "Master''s three Pseudo-God Puppets are named Dongfang Jia, Dongfang Yi, and Dongfang Bing," said Lao Yun, "The one left on Feixing is Dongfang Jia. After the great battle on Feixing, it spent most of the time guarding the entrance to the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains to prevent infiltration by Alien Races."


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    With this thought, Li Yuan couldn''t help but take another look at the Golden Garment figure. Dongfang Jia? The Alliance Hierarch''s naming is really casual.


    "Are you and the Spirit Beast going to take on the challenge together?" Lao Yun glanced at Liu Bing.


    "Yes," nodded Li Yuan, "Little Ice is a Heaven Snake. You should be aware, Lao Yun, entering the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains might also yield a great harvest."


    "As long as you know what you''re doing."


    "Follow me," said Lao Yun, as the Golden Garment figure flew towards the parted seabed.


    Carrying Liu Bing, Li Yuan followed.


    "Two Star Realm Passages?"


    Li Yuan and company quickly arrived at the depths of the seabed, where, amidst the undulating submarine mountains, lay two immense passageways.


    Each passage was more than ten kilometers in diameter, emitting colorful lights from within. Although it was unknown where they led, the shimmering lights radiated immense beauty.


    "The one on the left leads to the Nine Leaves Star Realm," Lao Yun explained, "This Star Realm is quite peculiar. Although it is a Third Level Star Realm, you must have sufficient strength to enter... Usually, only those with the limit strength of Flying Heaven can break through, which is why, for so long, there haven''t been many Flying Heaven Martial Artists from our civilization who have entered."


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement, the limit of Flying Heaven? That meant requiring the strength of a Flying Heaven Star Lord.


    "Master once said,"


    "To reap great rewards, the first requirement is strength, the second is luck," Lao Yun looked at Li Yuan, "Your strength is exceptional, but as for luck... anyway, don''t be greedy. It would be a great loss to our civilization if you were to fall in there."


    "Understood," Li Yuan said with a smile, looking down at Liu Bing, "Little Ice, let''s go in."


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Without hesitation, the duo transformed into two streaks of light and rushed into the left Star Realm Passage, swiftly disappearing into the colorful radiance.

    Upon entering the Star Realm Passage, Li Yuan felt waves of pressure sweeping over him, enough to make an ordinary Flying Heaven Martial Artist explode, but to Li Yuan and Liu Bing, it was just a tickle.


    "Big Brother, it''s really quite easy," said Liu Bing.


    "Don''t be careless," Li Yuan warned. Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai might not be allowed to reveal the core secrets of the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, but they could share some superficial information.


    And the most central point of Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai''s summary is¡ªthere is no pattern.


    Anything could happen in the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    Suddenly.


    Li Yuan felt a hazy fluctuation enveloping him, as if some force swept over him in exploration.


    The next instant, Li Yuan was horrified to discover that Liu Bing, who had always been wrapped around his arm, had vanished.


    Not only Liu Bing, but the Heavenly Snake Hall had disappeared as well.


    It should be noted that Li Yuan also had some understanding of the Mysteries of Space, yet he didn''t perceive the slightest hint.


    "Sister, can you feel anything?" Li Yuan immediately sent a message to Gu You, "I can''t even make Soul contact with Liu Bing. I can''t even confirm whether she''s alive or dead."


    Li Yuan was indeed alarmed.


    This method was too powerful.


    "Li Yuan, you must be careful," Gu You''s voice echoed in Li Yuan''s mind, "The moment Liu Bing disappeared...I didn''t notice it either. This space-time manipulation, it seems even more terrifying than the Heavenly Divines father once encountered... The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is indeed unfathomable."


    "This so-called Nine Leaves World is part of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain. Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai may not have disclosed all the information, but I suspect this place is a kind of test... Naturally, they want to test you and Liu Bing separately," Gu You revealed her suspicion.


    "In any case, be careful."


    "Even if you hide inside the Ancient Divine Palace, you might still be forced out," Gu You said.


    "Right," Li Yuan''s heart grew cold, and he dared not be the slightest bit careless.


    Suddenly.


    "Whoosh!"


    Li Yuan only felt the surrounding light tremble, followed by a sudden descent, his feet landing on an enormous boulder.


    "Where is this?" With a thought, Li Yuan''s powerful Divine Sense spread out immediately, but his expression changed quickly because his normally tens of kilometers-wide Divine Sense range was inexplicably suppressed, shrinking to less than ten kilometers.


    In view.


    It seemed to be a dark canyon, strewn with disorderly rocks, ancient trees reaching thousands of meters high, and towering endless mountains that pierced the clouds on both sides.


    In the sky, there was an immense blood moon, its light casting down and making the entire land appear extraordinarily sinister.


    "Exactly where is this?" Li Yuan was startled; the scene before him was nothing like the information given by the headmaster and the Alliance Hierarch.


    According to Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai''s intelligence.


    Once one entered the Nine Leaves Star Realm, they would first pass through a vast expanse of land and see the vast ''overlapping Nine Leaves'' starry sky scene... Only then would they enter the Nine Leaves World.


    And himself? He had just entered the Star Realm Passage when he was abruptly brought here by an invisible force of space and time.


    Everything was unknown.


    "Hm?" A trace of shock flashed through Li Yuan''s eyes as he murmured to himself, "Third Layer mission? Purple Garment mission?"


    At this moment!


    A piece of information suddenly appeared in Li Yuan''s mind: "Trialist, as an Innate Eight Star Pulse, you have directly become a Silver Garment Member, and at the same time, you have triggered the requirements for a Purple Garment mission."


    "First task: Become a Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse, and you may become a Golden Garment Member."


    "Second task: Succeed in the mission, obtain the Ancestral Realm Order, and you may become a Purple Garment Member."


    "Remember, you must not disclose any information regarding the mission."


    "Where is this?" With a thought, Li Yuan''s powerful Divine Sense spread out immediately, but his expression changed quickly because his normally tens of kilometers-wide Divine Sense range was inexplicably suppressed, shrinking to less than ten kilometers.

    "Remember, you must not disclose any information regarding the mission."

 Chapter 749 397: Abyss Country! Jue Xing Continent

    "Uh? Fluctuations? Seems very fast?" Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly: "It''s a bit far apart, the sensation isn''t very clear."


    In this mysterious world before his eyes, his Divine Sense was suppressed, unable to make inquiries far away.


    If faced with a formidable enemy, relying solely on Divine Sense, he would, at most, detect it half a second in advance.


    Look with his eyes? There would be all sorts of obstructions, and just considering the gigantic trees in the canyon, Li Yuan could discern that this world was not simple.


    But Li Yuan''s true forte was the Mysteries of Space!


    Among the Seven Fundamental Laws, each had its specialization; the Law of Water excelled in Defense, the Law of Wood had the strongest vitality, the Law of Wind was the fastest... But the Space Law, as the source of all principles, was powerfully comprehensive.


    Just in terms of Inquiry, it far surpassed the other Law of the Great Dao.


    And Li Yuan''s comprehension of the Mysteries of Space had already reached what could be called the ''Seventh Stage Intermediate Rank'' of other Basic Laws.


    "Boom~"


    In just a few seconds, Li Yuan could feel waves of fluctuations drawing closer; the ground of the canyon was faintly trembling... It seemed like a herd of frenzied beasts was stomping their way through the canyon.


    Li Yuan looked up towards the mountainsides of the canyon.


    "Li Yuan, do not fly up, don''t worry," Gu You''s voice rang in Li Yuan''s mind: "I just activated the perception feature of the Ancient Divine Palace. Those approaching are at the Flying Heaven Level, and should pose no threat to you... This place seems to be a dreadful secret realm, in the mountainsides and even in the sky, there likely lies an extremely powerful Origin Power Array."


    "Once you reach the high parts of the mountain range, you might face attacks from the Origin Power Arrays. Being careful is wise."


    "Understood." Li Yuan''s heart chilled, and at the same time, he felt elated.


    He couldn''t control the Ancient Divine Palace, but Gu You could.


    The Ancient Divine Palace, as the ''True God Instrument'' left behind by the Ancient Torch Divine, had many uses.


    Moreover, without needing Gu You''s frequent reminders, Li Yuan had already noticed many special aspects of this world.


    "The trees, the rocks, they all seem much sturdier." Li Yuan harnessed the Power of Heaven and Earth, sensing the many materials around and discovered their exceptional properties.


    They were incredibly tough, far more so than on Blue Star.


    Next, the gravity of the land also seemed much stronger than on Blue Star... On Blue Star, a Prime Warrior could jump hundreds of meters in one leap, but here, Li Yuan estimated that even a Top Level Origin Martial Artist could only manage about ten meters or so.


    "In such an environment, trees are able to grow thousands of meters tall; if they were on Blue Star, they would likely be preserved and studied," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Living under such tremendous gravity, all life forms would have much more robust bodies."


    Beings must adapt to their environment to survive.


    "However, this restriction should not greatly affect top-level powerhouses," Li Yuan mused. "Those at the Flying Heaven Level would still feel some impact, their flying would be slower¡­ A Demigod would be much less affected."


    Just as Li Yuan was contemplating.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The ground trembled violently, many trees fell, and giant stones were hurled into the air, and dozens of figures appeared in Li Yuan''s line of sight.


    Racing in the forefront were over a dozen human figures, mostly dressed in Combat Armor of different colors, quite motley.


    Mostly armed with weapons, they seemed like warriors, but at this moment, these warriors were mostly pale-faced and utterly panicked.


    "Run."


    "Run!"


    "So unlucky, how could we encounter so many Flying Heaven Peak level ferocious beasts."


    "Are we really going to die in this ''Abyss Demon Blood Den''?" Those warriors fled in panic, communicating with each other through Origin Power, fearing to escape too slowly.


    It wasn''t their fault.


    Originally, over a hundred people had gathered, but the noise attracted a large number of demonic beasts, and in an instant, most were killed, the rest were being pursued.


    "Roar!" "Ha!" Behind these dozen human figures, were even more astonishingly numerous and generally stronger ferocious beasts of different forms¡ªsome resembling tigers and leopards, some like Flying Serpents, others monstrous figures with beast bodies and human faces.


    A universal trait among these monsters was their eyes, shining a blood-red color, appearing incredibly ferocious.


    "Pff!"


    "Pt!" The two slower human figures were suddenly viciously bitten by the great jaws of a ferocious beast, their bodies instantly torn apart.


    A large amount of fresh blood splattered, further stimulating the bloodthirst of more ferocious beasts, making them even more frenzied.


    "Look, there''s someone up ahead."


    "Seems to be at the Flying Heaven Level."


    "Silly fool, doesn''t he know to run, and he''s still just watching us."


    "He''s asking for death!" Those human warriors thought the young man in Black Armor was utterly foolish, to be still so silly in the Abyss Demon Blood Den? Facing such a large group of ferocious beasts and not knowing to run.


    However, those human warriors didn''t have the leisure to care much, as they continued their frenzied escape.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Quickly, they had swiftly reached the area where Li Yuan was, with the ferocious beasts behind them even closer.


    "Tear! Roar!" One of the beasts, resembling a lizard, moved its tail, fiercely stepping on a huge rock, its body over thirty meters long transformed into a streak of light, swiftly charging in front of Li Yuan, its giant mouth ready to bite.


    "That foolish kid is done for."


    "What an idiot!" Those human warriors had many thoughts flash through their minds as they witnessed this scene.


    The next moment, however, left those human warriors completely dumbfounded.


    "Hmm~"


    Li Yuan''s eyes darkened as an invisible Soul Fluctuation instantly swept across several kilometers at the bottom of the canyon.


    In an instant!


    The faces of those ferocious beasts displayed a flicker of terror, followed by their eyes dulling.


    Boom! Boom! Over thirty ferocious beasts suddenly became listless, tumbling down from mid-air.


    Their bodies, following inertia, either smashed into large clusters of trees, impacted the ground, or stirred up swathes of scattered rocks.


    Eventually, all lay motionless.


    "These beasts, their Life Levels are not low, but their intelligence seems quite weak, so easily annihilated by my Soul?" Li Yuan''s eyes flickered with surprise.


    Just now, faced with that large group of ferocious beasts, he had directly used the Soul Secret Technique "Burning Heart Blade."


    It should be noted that when Li Yuan''s Soul Cultivation Level was at level 45, he could annihilate Flying Heaven Intermediate Stage Martial Artists.


    Today, Li Yuan''s Soul Will had reached level 49, and his Law Comprehension far surpassed the past, making the might of "Burning Heart Blade" much stronger than before.


    Normally, to annihilate Flying Heaven Peak was highly likely.


    But this was too easy, one attack, directly killing nearly ten Flying Heaven Peak ferocious beasts, and over twenty at the Flying Heaven Middle Stage?


    In that instant, Li Yuan deduced that these ferocious beasts were not normal cultivators, having much weaker resistance to soul attacks.


    "This place, just randomly producing so many Flying Heaven Peak beings? These humans are also at the Flying Heaven Level, even in the Divine Realm, the number of strong beings on ordinary planets wouldn''t be this many," Li Yuan wondered.


    Normally in the Divine Realm, a Life Level demigod would number only tens to hundreds.


    The population of Flying Heaven Level beings was large, but logically they shouldn''t be overflowing to this extent.


    Where exactly was this?


    Thinking this, Li Yuan''s gaze shifted towards the dozen or so human figures not far away, their eyes full of confusion.


    Because!


    While killing these ferocious beasts with the soul, Li Yuan had also used "Mind Soul" to temporarily take control of these human warriors.


    These human warriors were generally at the Flying Heaven Middle Stage, ranging mainly between Level 33 and 34.


    The weaker ones? They had long been killed by that group of ferocious beasts.


    With Li Yuan''s strength, plunging them into a First Layer Illusionary Realm for a short period was still achievable.


    Phew!


    With a sudden move, Li Yuan appeared in front of a notably bulky figure who was merely Level 32, the weakest among these humans.


    Caught in Li Yuan''s "Mind Soul," he couldn''t wake up on his own.


    "Tell me," Li Yuan soul inquired, "Where is this place, where do you come from, who is the strongest person you know of, and what is the strongest power?"


    Soul communication was perceiving each other''s spiritual fluctuations, and did not require language.


    "This is the Abyss Demon Blood Den, I come from Abyss Country''s Tang San County," the burly man''s eyes were vacant as he soul-transmitted the message while also muttering, "The Jue Xing Continent is vast and vast, legends say there are countless Life Stars beyond the sky, numerous powerful beings, but legend has it that our Abyss Country''s King is the peak powerhouse on the continent, having presided over Abyss Country for tens of thousands of years, with many nations on the continent, I also do not know which nation is the strongest..."


    Hearing the burly man''s words, Li Yuan''s expression changed slightly: "Language of the Divine Realm?"


    The words spoken by the burly man were clearly in the common language of the Divine Realm.


    To know, whether it was Sister Gu You or Qiu Bingzun''s provided materials, they included ''Language of the Divine Realm'', and with the strength of Li Yuan''s soul, he had learned it in an extremely short time, though it was not quite perfect.


    But hearing, there was no doubt.


    "Could it be, I have already arrived in the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan was shocked.


    "Don''t rush, Li Yuan," Sister Gu You''s voice rang out again, "The world is vast, many powerful civilizations in the Mortal Domain also use the language of the Divine Realm... Some worlds opened by super powerful beings, the beings living within those worlds, would also use the language of the Divine Realm."


    "Keep asking!"


    "You were teleported to this so-called ''Jue Xing Continent'', then this continent must contain secrets," Sister Gu You said, "Reaching an unfamiliar world, the first thing to do is to understand this world, then deep secrets can be explored."


    "Alright."


    ...


    Time passed, and Li Yuan, through soul secret techniques, simultaneously inquired these dozen or so human figures.


    Soul communication was extremely fast.


    Half an hour later, Li Yuan had already understood much about this world and also obtained quite a few books and information crystal stones from these human warriors'' storage treasures.


    "Almost done," Li Yuan''s eyes flickered with a trace of fatigue, controlling so many Flying Heaven Level beings for an extended period was still a huge drain on his soul power.


    "Abyss Demon Blood Den, to leave, three ferocious beasts'' heads as proof?" Li Yuan murmured, his gaze as sharp as a sword.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    All ferocious beasts'' bodies were instantly torn apart as if injured by a sharp instrument, this was to conceal the traces of soul killing.


    Followed by three ferocious beasts'' heads flying up, collected by Li Yuan into his storage treasure.


    "Thank you for telling me so much, let me grant you an opportunity," Li Yuan glanced over these human warriors.


    Having done all this.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan''s form moved, his speed instantly soaring over eight kilometers per second, already disappearing at the end of the canyon.


    Seconds later.


    "What happened?"


    "What just happened to us?"


    "It felt like I had a really long dream."


    "I feel like someone asked me a lot of questions, but I can''t remember exactly what was said." These ten-plus people were gradually waking up and were immediately frightened by the sight of the lifeless group of ferocious beasts'' bodies several kilometers away, each filled with astonishment.


    These people, after all, were at the Flying Heaven Level, not completely stupid.


    They quickly analyzed it out.


    "A master!"


    "We were definitely saved by some kind of super master!"


    "Could it be that silly lad just now? I was wrong, that wasn''t a fool, clearly a super master, he might even be a fierce person who awakened the Seven Star Veins."


    "He directly killed these ferocious beasts? Truly brutal." These Flying Heaven Level beings were filled with shock.


    Too fierce.


    But immediately, this group of human warriors got excited again: "These ferocious beast bodies, the heads haven''t been taken by that master, he probably looked down on them."


    "Quick!"


    "They''re all ours." More than ten human warriors, like mad, rushed toward those ferocious beasts'' heads.


    Ferocious beasts'' heads represented wealth and opportunity.


    Even those who had been escaping together previously began fighting among themselves.

    Following the canyon with many forks, Li Yuan rushed out hundreds of kilometers before finally stopping, arriving at a giant rock on a hillside and sitting down.


    "Sister Gu You!"


    "You should have heard it," Li Yuan''s eyes shone, his voice low, "Starry Sky Ancient City!"


    "The strongest fighter of Level 35 mentioned that he had heard, in the outer starry sky there lies the Starry Sky Ancient City, said to be the strongest force above the three thousand Divine Kingdoms."


    "Starry Sky Ancient City!! Could it be, we truly reached the Divine Realm?"

 Chapter 750 398: Its the Divine Realm! But Its Also Not the Divine Realm

    "It''s not necessarily the case," Gu You''s voice echoed in Li Yuan''s mind: "Starry Sky Ancient City is renowned in the Divine Realm, but in many minor worlds and many Mortal Domains, there are similar terms... It might just be a coincidence."


    "After all, there are many strong beings on the Jue Xing Continent. According to the intelligence we''ve collected, the number of True Gods is not small."


    "If it really is a region in the Divine Realm, it should be quite famous. In the databases of me and Qiu Bingzun, it couldn''t be entirely unmentioned," Gu You''s voice transmission continued: "Moreover, the technological content of this world seems very low, it doesn''t even have a virtual network."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling that Gu You made some valid points.


    One should know, when Li Yuan heard the term ''Starry Sky Ancient City'' from that human warrior''s mouth just now, it gave him quite a shock.


    The Divine Realm is vast, but some of the top forces are universally recognized. Divine Courts battle tirelessly, and among the many Divine Courts, one Divine Court Force is the most special, known as ''Starry Sky Divine Court''.


    This force, with its great power, is vaguely among the top three of the Divine Realm, and in terms of ancient heritage, it is indisputably the oldest.


    But it hardly competes for territory. Its reach, however, extends everywhere in the Divine Realm, namely the ''Starry Sky Ancient Cities.''


    Within the Divine Realm, a vast and expansive region is often referred to as ''Star Domain'', and the Starry Sky Divine Court has established a Starry Sky Ancient City in almost every Star Domain of the Divine Realm. Each Starry Sky Ancient City has a legacy that endures for billions of years, housing numerous strong beings, often immensely low-profile, to the extent that even Heavenly Divines cannot shake them.


    Powerful, ancient, uncompetitive.


    This is the impression that Starry Sky Divine Court gives to the world.


    "No matter the differences between the Starry Sky Ancient City on the Jue Xing Continent and those in the Divine Realm, at the very least, you now have a certain understanding of this world," Gu You''s voice transmission stated: "Therefore, we must be even more low-profile to avoid touching upon some super-powerful beings... otherwise we''d find ourselves in a passive situation."


    "There''s even the risk of perishing," Gu You''s voice transmission cautioned: "All in all, in such a powerful and mysterious world, we must be extremely careful."


    "Mhm," Li Yuan nodded.


    Based on the recently gathered information, this world is called ''Jue Xing Continent'', vast and expansive. At least for now, Li Yuan does not know the full extent of the continent, and it is also unclear whether the land beneath is a super-sized star or some other form.


    In the Divine Realm, there are super-powerful beings who can create vast and expansive worlds in the starry sky.


    Jue Xing Continent is populated by countless lives, with the Human Race as the mainstream, and the rest consisting mainly of Ferocious Beasts.


    This world, just like in the Seven Star Civilization, has a hierarchy of strength defined as ''First Rank, Second Rank, Third Rank (Flying Heaven), Fourth Rank (Demigod), Fifth Rank (Pseudo-God), Sixth Rank (True God)''.


    The True Gods represent the pinnacle of martial strength on the Jue Xing Continent.


    True Gods engage in power struggles and slaughter among themselves, occupying vast territories, proclaimed as ''Divine Kingdoms''. The larger Divine Kingdoms can have territories stretching over tens of millions of kilometers, and even the smaller ones have territories several million kilometers in size... Even the smallest Divine Kingdom has a territory far exceeding that of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, with endless populations.


    The entire Jue Xing Continent is known as ''three thousand Divine Kingdoms''.


    Of course, this is an inexact number; over the long years, occasionally some Divine Kingdoms perish, and occasionally new ones rise. On the Jue Xing Continent, where technology is not advanced and communication means are ordinary, many pieces of information are beyond the knowledge of even those at the Flying Heaven Level.


    "In addition to Divine Kingdoms, there seem to be some ancient families, powerful sects... the Jue Xing Continent is truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons," Li Yuan thought to himself: "According to the data, the entire continent has a history of hundreds of millions of years."


    Its antiquity sends shivers down one''s spine.


    Its strength puts Li Yuan on alert.


    "On this Jue Xing Continent, not to mention I''m only at the Flying Heaven Level, even if I become a Demigod, I must keep a low profile," Li Yuan pondered: "Even with the strength of a Pseudo-God, what does it matter? Across the entire continent, just the True Gods have spans of tens of millions of years... in such lengthy eons, there might even be the birth of Heavenly Divines."


    Heavenly Divines!


    Even in the Divine Realm, they are peak powerhouses, like the rulers of each Star Domain, the city lords of each Starry Sky Ancient City, they are all Heavenly Divines.


    "The Jue Xing Continent''s three thousand kingdoms."


    "The Abyss Country I am in now is one of the extremely powerful Divine Kingdoms, with a territory nearly twenty million kilometers in diameter," Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly: "Inside, it''s divided into four hundred and eighty states..."


    "Each state governs tens of thousands of kilometers of territory, and each State City is guarded by Pseudo-Gods. Just within Abyss Country, there are hundreds to even thousands of Divines."


    One Abyss Country alone has a number of strong beings comparable to an entire Mortal Domain.


    What about the entire Jue Xing Continent?


    "An unknown force has shifted me to this continent; let''s temporarily refer to it as ''Eternal Hall''," Li Yuan thought of the final hint from the mission.


    One needs to obtain the Return Command in order to be eligible to go to Eternal Hall.


    "Such a frightening power could kill me or toy with me with ease. Since the task has been given, that theoretically means I should have a chance to complete the mission."


    "That means... on the Jue Xing Continent, there should be an opportunity for me to become a ''Third Rank Nine Star Pulse''," Li Yuan surmised: "Is it the so-called ''Jue Xing Divine Pill''?"


    Among the information provided by those dozen or so Flying Heaven Realm, they all mentioned a treasure¡ªthe Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    This mystical Elixir of the Jue Xing Continent, once obtained and consumed, can awaken more Life Stars and even Star Meridians.


    Hence it is named Jue Xing Divine Pill. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Indeed, the entire continent was named ''Jue Xing'' because of this medicine, yet such a pill is extremely precious, and ordinary Prime Warriors and Martial Artists of the Flying Heaven Level cannot obtain it¡ªit''s difficult to even catch a glimpse.


    "At the same time, the Third Rank Nine Star Pulse is the golden mission for the Golden Garment Members."


    "Then, to obtain the so-called Ancestral Realm Order, the difficulty must be even higher," Li Yuan gradually clarified his thoughts: "Even if I become a Demigod, trying to forcefully take the treasures and rare items of the continent through sheer strength won''t work."


    Pure reliance on strength is not feasible.


    "Then there''s only one way."


    "Integration!"


    "Disguise as a local, aim to merge with the Jue Xing Continent, join one of the major forces on the continent. Only by leveraging the foundation of these major forces can I hope to touch upon some deep-seated secrets," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    I am an outsider.


    My origins cannot withstand scrutiny; therefore, I must be cautious and not casually reveal the secret of the Third Rank Eight Star Veins.


    Even on the Jue Xing Continent, Third Rank Seven Star Veins are already exceedingly rare, at least those dozen or so Flying Heaven Level beings have never seen one, having only heard of their existence in distant continents.


    The Third Rank Eight Star Veins, to most at the Flying Heaven Level, also seem to be but a legend.


    "If you want to obtain the Jue Xing Divine Pill, this Abyss Demon Blood Den is just an opportunity on the surface." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Thinking of this.


    Li Yuan couldn''t help but look toward the deepest part of the dark gorge, where the mountain ranges on both sides soared high like giant beasts devouring people.


    Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    This place is a mysterious land of the Abyss Country and also a trial mission. In addition to the participation of the top talents of the Abyss Country and the disciples of divine families, other citizens of the Abyss Country who have reached the Flying Heaven Level can also apply to join the battle.


    Moreover, every year, if the number of trialists does not meet the quota, a large number of Flying Heaven Warriors from within the Divine Kingdom will be forced to join the trial... In short, the yearly trial of the Abyss Demon Blood Den brings in tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors.


    To leave alive.


    One must either survive for twenty days, or at least kill three ferocious beasts and take their heads as proof. If you do not have the heads of three ferocious beasts by the day the exit opens, alas... If you can obtain the heads of a number sufficient to rank within the first thousand, then you are qualified to become a member of the ''Black Abyss Guard'' of the Divine Kingdom.


    The Black Abyss Guard is an extremely well-known army in the Abyss Country, with abundant internal resources. Even treasures like the Jue Xing Divine Pill can be hoped for.


    Once you can join, the hope of a Flying Heaven Warrior to become Semi-Divine will greatly increase.


    "With my strength, securing a spot within the first thousand would be a piece of cake, even taking the first place should not be difficult." Li Yuan thought to himself.


    But Li Yuan did not entertain such a thought.


    This is also the reason he left so many ferocious beast heads for other human fighters.


    Identity!


    "My identity must not be probed. If I exhibit too conspicuous performance, being scrutinized by the Abyss Country could lead to immediate arrest or even execution." Li Yuan pondered, "Even if I wanted to join the Abyss Country, there''s no need to enter the Black Abyss Guard in this way."


    "Too dangerous."


    Somehow, Li Yuan felt that being directly transferred into the ''Abyss Demon Blood Den'' by the Eternal Hall might also be a test.


    The first task: survive for ten years!


    For an outsider, striving to survive for ten years on the Jue Xing Continent amidst the pursuit of strength was already a trial in itself.


    "This Abyss Demon Blood Den seems to be enveloped in heavy restrictions, even Sister Gu You can hardly break them." Li Yuan raised his head to look at the sky, where the seemingly dim void hid great dangers.


    "No need to take risks."


    "Just hang on!"


    "Survive for twenty years, leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den first, then enter a County City, and gather more information before making decisions." Li Yuan made his decision, prioritizing his survival.


    A County City is somewhat lower in status compared to a State City and generally does not have divine beings as guardians. With Li Yuan''s strength, it would be much safer there.


    "Just that."


    "I don''t know how Little Ice is faring." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, his concern for Liu Bing evident.


    "Continue to change locations."


    "Although those human fighters did not see me kill those ferocious beasts, they''re probably guessing in their hearts." Some thoughts flashed through Li Yuan''s mind: "No need to run into them again."


    Of course, Li Yuan wasn''t too worried either, as it wasn''t rare to see Flying Heaven Warriors capable of swiftly killing dozens of ferocious beasts on the Jue Xing Continent.


    In keeping with his character, Li Yuan would not silence them.


    This was related to his principles of conduct. He would do what he thought should be done and refrain from actions he deemed improper, even if they carried a slight risk.


    "After all, it''s just twenty days."


    "It will pass in a blink of an eye."


    ...


    In a mysterious place far away from Li Yuan, this land was filled with countless icy formations, bone-piercing cold, with narrow passages within the thick layers of ice.


    Chilly winds would occasionally sweep through.


    Just this gust was enough to freeze a Top Level Origin Martial Artist into ice shards.


    A green Flying Serpent, about five meters long, agile in form, wings encasing its crystalline body, quietly sensed its surroundings.


    "Senior Qiu, I still can''t sense Big Brother''s presence. I hope nothing dangerous has happened to him." Liu Bing''s voice was full of worry.


    "Don''t worry."


    "This Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, which intends to filter and test, will certainly not allow you to join forces easily." Qiu Bingzun said solemnly: "Without a trace, it separated you, and even the Heavenly Snake Hall has not the slightest clue... This is definitely a method surpassing that of a Heavenly Divine."


    Surpassing a Heavenly Divine? Liu Bing was inwardly shocked.


    "Little Ice, tell me again about the task you received." Qiu Bingzun suddenly said.


    "Trialist, as an innate Seven Star Veins, you have become a prospective Silver Garment Member and triggered the Purple Garment task requirement." Liu Bing communicated: "First task: Join the ''Heavenly Snake City'' of the Starry Sky Ancient City to become a Silver Garment Member."


    "Second task: Awaken the Flying Heaven Eight Star Veins, become Semi-Divine, then you can become a Golden Garment Member."


    "Remember, you must not reveal any information about the trial mission. You must complete at least one task to receive the ''Return Command'' and be eligible to go to the Eternal Hall." Liu Bing said, "Senior Qiu, that''s all the information there is."


    "Haha."


    "Then there''s no mistake."


    "Heavenly Snake City! The ''Heavenly Snake City'' of the Starry Sky Ancient City." Qiu Bingzun''s voice held a trace of excitement: "Unexpectedly, the legend within our clan is true, that there exists such a Starry Sky Ancient City. I always thought it was fictitious... But it''s real."


    "Little Ice, I think, I probably know where this is." Qiu Bingzun said.


    "Where is this?" Liu Bing was puzzled.


    "This is the Divine Realm, yet it is not the Divine Realm." Qiu Bingzun said in a low voice.

 Chapter 751 399: Princess Jiang Xuan

    "Is it the Divine Realm? Or not?" Liu Bing became increasingly confused.


    "Actually, I don''t fully understand either since there''s little information recorded in the ancient texts, and I used to just regard it as a story," Qiu Bingzun said. "In any case, Little Ice, this is definitely a rare opportunity, and you must seize it."


    "But also be careful. If it really is the Starry Sky Ancient City, by logic, the number of True Gods in the Starry Sky Ancient City is astonishing, and there will be even more powerful Heavenly Divines presiding over it... we should all proceed slowly," Qiu Bingzun said.


    "Mhm," Liu Bing nodded.


    Although she possessed inherited memories, the information in her inheritance was mainly deep, with the core being those powerful secret techniques and mighty Star Techniques.


    In terms of breadth, all sorts of miscellaneous knowledge and experiences, she naturally couldn''t compare to Qiu Bingzun.


    "Do you feel those cold winds in this layer of ice?" Qiu Bingzun transmitted a message.


    "Yes, it''s the combined use of the Law of Water and the Wind Law," Liu Bing''s eyes gleamed with light. "Especially the application of the Wind Law, it''s extremely ingenious."


    "Places with such strange phenomena could just be your opportunity," Qiu Bingzun said. "Move forward slowly, explore... The fact that you were sent here means it''s definitely not a dead end..."


    "Don''t worry about Li Yuan either."


    "He has awakened the innate Eight Star Veins; logically speaking, the opportunities and missions he encounters should be stronger than yours," Qiu Bingzun said. "Only by completing the mission can there be hope to see him again."


    Qiu Bingzun knew the place Li Yuan held in Liu Bing''s heart.


    "Alright!"


    ...


    At the time when Li Yuan and Liu Bing were forced to undertake separate missions,


    in the Feixing, Seven Star Civilization, within the Starfire Martial Hall Headquarters.


    Within a mysterious hall.


    Here, even Second Class Star Masters had no right to enter, only the Seven Stars Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch were qualified to do so.


    Within the hall, there were some crystal stones exuding red light, and several ancient lamps emanating strange fiery glows.


    Life Crystals! Soul Lamps!


    This hall was a place where the life and death status of all high-ranking powerhouses of the Seven Star Civilization could be confirmed.


    "Has Li Yuan''s Soul Lamp really been extinguished?" Lant Semi-Divine stared shockedly at one of the lamps floating above a showcase.


    "Fang Hai, what''s going on?"


    Lant Semi-Divine couldn''t help but ask, "Wasn''t Li Yuan just two days into entering the Nine Leaves World?"


    "The Soul Lamp is extinguished upon entering the Nine Leaves World?"


    Lant Semi-Divine had just received the news and had hurried over in haste.


    "It''s been two days," Fang Hai said solemnly. "Two days ago, as soon as Li Yuan entered the Nine Leaves Star Realm, the Soul Lamp extinguished straight away, and by common sense, he shouldn''t have had the chance to enter the Nine Leaves World yet... I immediately arranged for Duanmu Hong to go check in the Nine Leaves Star Realm, but no clues were found."


    "What?" Lant Semi-Divine became increasingly shocked.


    "This situation has never occurred before; even when my teacher and I entered the Nine Leaves World and even the Nine Mountains World in the past, the Soul Lamp never extinguished... The last time the teacher''s lamp extinguished was because he did it intentionally."


    "What about Li Yuan?" Lant Semi-Divine was quite worried.


    "There are two possibilities," Fang Hai''s eyes were equally filled with concern. "First, Li Yuan is extremely strong and talented. Just upon entering the Nine Leaves World, he was moved by the intangible rules of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain... leaving our Mortal Domain directly."


    "The second possibility is that Li Yuan encountered an unknown disaster upon entering the Star Realm Passage and perished," Fang Hai shook his head.


    "Li Yuan will definitely not perish like this," Lant Semi-Divine said with a heavy tone.


    He hadn''t met Li Yuan often, but he trusted him immensely.


    "I also don''t believe Li Yuan would fall easily," Fang Hai sighed lightly. "But with the extinguished Soul Lamp, if he''s left the Mortal Domain... Can he still return?"


    Lant Semi-Divine fell silent.


    No one could guarantee that.


    After all, even with many preparations, nobody knew if someone like Dongfang Ji, who left the Mortal Domain, could return.


    "Let''s hope Li Yuan has indeed just left the Mortal Domain," Fang Hai shook his head. "As long as he''s alive, that''s all that matters."


    ...


    In the Jue Xing Continent, within the Abyssal Demon Blood Den where Li Yuan was located.


    The entire Blood Den was vast, merely divided into maze-like passages by towering canyons, with a multitude of Flying Heaven Level creatures from the Abyss Country struggling for survival in the gorges.


    Battling with ferocious beasts! Even battling amongst themselves!


    In the deepest part of the Blood Den, the trees became even taller, and the air was faintly suffused with a hint of blood-colored currents.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom!" The air shook violently, followed by the sound of a Void Warship, dozens of meters long, whistling across the sky, escaping outward like lightning. The speed of the warship was incredibly fast.


    If one were a strong enough being, they could clearly see the warship was covered in a large amount of blood, seemingly having just undergone a bloody battle.


    Yet the warship itself had not suffered much damage, with only a few scars, appearing extremely sturdy.


    "Rumble!" The ground trembled, and boulders from the sides of the canyon collapsed with a crash. Following that, a host of ferocious beasts appeared, each with blood-red eyes, extremely violent.


    "Roar!" "Roar! Kill!" Communicating with their simple intelligence, these ferocious creatures chased after the warship like a tide.


    On the deck of the warship.


    "Your Highness, don''t worry; we''re safe now," a tall and burly brute about two meters high said in a deep voice, wearing light armor with incredibly thick arms and several knife scars on his face, which made him appear quite fearsome.


    Yet his eyes were firm, as he steered the warship forward.


    On the deck, there were also several armored warriors, but their life breath was not as strong as the burly brute''s, and fear could be seen on their faces.


    "Uncle Guo, and Uncle Fang and Dong Li?" A girl wearing luxurious silver armor on the warship couldn''t help but speak out with a face full of worry.


    "Don''t worry."


    "Your Highness, Fang Lei and Dong Li have both broken through to become Semi-Divine, and they are veterans specially selected from this time''s guard army," the burly brute known as ''Uncle Guo'' said in a deep voice.


    He said so, but even he wasn''t confident in his heart.


    Fang Lei and Dong Li had become Semi-Divine.


    But since one must be at the Flying Heaven Realm to enter the Abyssal Demon Blood Den¡ªeven if they were guards of the Highness¡ªthey had to abide by the King''s rules.


    Therefore, they had just advanced after entering the Blood Den.


    Facing the siege of a large number of ferocious beasts, the situation was extremely perilous.


    This battle, had it not been for their desperate effort to cover the rear by themselves, blocking those two Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts, the whole army would have likely already been annihilated.


    "It''s my fault," the Silver Armor maiden whispered, "We shouldn''t have gone to the edge of the forbidden land."


    "What is Your Highness talking about? Our mission is to protect Your Highness, even at the cost of our lives," the burly man said in a low voice. "Besides, going to the forbidden land was a suggestion from the three of us... To complete the Royal Family''s trial mission, we have to take risks."


    The maiden''s eyes dimmed.


    Boom!


    Although the burly man had not yet broken through to become Semi-Divine, his True Intent Comprehension was at Sixth Stage Perfection. Operating a Fourth Rank top-level warship, the speed of the craft was astonishing, and they gradually widened the distance from the following pack of ferocious beasts.


    Soon after.


    "Boom!" As the warship turned another great bend, the burly man, the maiden, and several other Armored Warriors saw a Black Armor warrior lying on a giant boulder in the valley, seemingly asleep.


    The ground trembled with a thunderous rumble as the horde of ferocious beasts closed in.


    "Sleeping?"


    "Daring to sleep in the Abyss Demon Blood Den? That''s seeking death!"


    "Sensing his aura, his life breath doesn''t seem to be that strong."


    "How has he managed to survive until now?" The Armored Warriors on the deck of the warship were speechless. They hadn''t encountered such a fool in a long time.


    This area was already the inner domain of the Abyss Demon Blood Den, a place of grave danger.


    Whoosh~ The warship sliced through the airwaves, rapidly approaching the area of the giant stones where the Black Armor youth lay.


    With the valley terrain, not daring to flee toward the sides of the mountain ranges, there was only one path.


    Unless they reached some ''Mountain Range Junction Point'', where several valleys intersected, they would have the option to escape into other valleys.


    At that moment, the Black Armor youth seemed to be startled awake, ''leisurely'' sitting up and looking towards the warship, also noticing the ferocious beast horde tens of kilometers away that was furiously charging towards him.


    He just sat there watching.


    As if he was ''frozen'' with fright.


    "Auntie Guo, let''s save him," the Silver Armor maiden urged, "The pack of beasts was provoked by us; he''s innocent."


    "Your Highness, this kind of fellow isn''t worthy of¡­" the burly man couldn''t help but start to say.


    "Save him," the maiden insisted.


    "Alright then," the burly man internally resigned.


    He felt that everything about Her Highness was excellent, her talent exceedingly high, having already reached the Flying Heaven Peak in just over a decade of cultivation. In the future, she even had the potential to awaken the Third Rank Seven Star Veins... But she was just too kind, treating various servants and underlings extremely gently while in the County City.


    He hadn''t expected that even here, in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, she would still be so kind.


    Right! Theoretically, the ferocious beasts charging from behind were provoked by them; this Black Armor youth seemed somewhat innocent.


    But in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, where did innocent people exist?


    "Boy, if you don''t want to die, get on the ship!" The burly man suddenly shouted angrily, and through Origin Power sound transmission, his voice instantly traveled to the Black Armor youth.


    Whoosh!


    The warship slightly adjusted its course close to the ground; suddenly, a silver chain had zipped out, full of Spiritual Nature, shooting straight towards the Black Armor youth.


    The silver chain was cast by the Silver Armor maiden, who also transmitted a message: "Grab it quickly."


    On the giant stone.


    The Black Armor youth, hearing the sound, was momentarily stunned, then saw the silver chain and the anxious expression on the maiden''s face on the warship, as well as glanced at the tide-like beast horde behind.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan reached out, grabbed the silver chain, and immediately his Origin Power burst forth, displaying a Fourth Rank level of strength, and propelled himself upwards with a leap.


    Instantly, he landed on the deck of the warship.


    "A Semi-Divine Level warship?" Li Yuan scanned the ship and thought to himself, "No signs of technology, this warship should be closer to a ''Semi Divine Artifact''."


    The forging of Divine Artifacts and Semi Divine Artifacts share commonalities with technological creations but also have many differences.


    The most fundamental difference lay in the Law Fluctuation.


    Boom! The warship continued its advance.


    "Thank you, senior." Li Yuan bowed respectfully towards the burly man steering the warship.


    Without the need for Divine Palace Exploration, Li Yuan''s strength allowed him to instantly discern that the burly man was probably at the Semi-Divine Level of Fortieth Rank but with a somewhat unstable aura, likely having just made a breakthrough.


    Semi-Divine?


    This was the first time Li Yuan had encountered a human Semi-Divine in his days wandering the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    According to the rules Li Yuan knew, one must be at the Flying Heaven Level to enter the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    Did this burly man break through to the Semi-Divine Level inside the Abyss Demon Blood Den? sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "There''s no need to thank me, if you''re going to thank someone, thank my family''s Her Highness," the burly man glanced at Li Yuan, then no longer paid him any attention.


    "Her Highness?" Li Yuan couldn''t help but look towards the Silver Armor maiden, whose features were delicate, her eyes clear and pure.


    "This is Her Highness Jiang Xuan," an Armored Warrior beside chided, "Seeing Her Highness, shouldn''t you bow in homage?"


    "If it wasn''t for Her Highness''s kindness, commanding the Commander to save you, you would have died to the beasts," another Armored Warrior added.


    Li Yuan immediately understood the reason they saved him.


    "Thanks to Her Highness Jiang Xuan," Li Yuan bowed slightly in gratitude, his heart also stirred.


    Jiang?


    The Royal Family of Abyss Country was indeed surnamed Jiang.


    But after thousands of years of proliferation, the Royal Family''s bloodline had become immensely large, with the vast majority being just ordinary people. To still be referred to as Her Highness, capable of wandering the Abyss Demon Blood Den with a Semi-Divine serving as her personal guard... Undoubtedly, the status of this maiden within the Abyss Country''s Royal Family must be not low.


    "There''s no need for thanks,"


    The Silver Armor maiden shook her head and insisted, "That pack of beasts was attracted by us, saving you is only right."


    A flash of unusual color crossed Li Yuan''s eyes.


    During these days wading through the Abyss Demon Blood Den, although he had rarely engaged in combat, Li Yuan had witnessed many human warriors brutally slaughtering each other, a scene of extreme bloodshed; to suddenly encounter such a naive... no, such a kind-hearted Royal Princess.


    It left Li Yuan with a surreal feeling.

 Chapter 752 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action

    In the deepest depths of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    This place was surrounded by mountain ranges, and streaks of blood-red mist veiled the void, making it impossible to peer into from a distance. Ordinary trialists simply could not set foot here.


    In fact, in the intelligence reports of some elite geniuses and royal elite offspring, this area was referred to as ''forbidden lands,'' where even those with demigod power could not tread.


    Likewise, the reason it was called forbidden lands was also because many exotic treasures grew here.


    At this moment, on the edge of the forbidden lands, a large number of ferocious beasts were attacking a team.


    "Young Master, quickly, these ferocious beasts are too strong." A ten-meter-tall golden armored warrior wielding a combat saber bellowed: "Hurry, block the other beasts, forge a bloody path for the master."


    He was commanded to lead nearly a hundred Flying Heaven Warriors, protecting their master to participate in the Abyssal Demon Blood Den trial, striving to break into the final top ten.


    Unexpectedly, they encountered such a catastrophe.


    "Ninth Uncle!" The youth in black armor roared furiously from a distance; these guards had accompanied him for decades, handpicked by his father, and were extremely loyal.


    It had not crossed their minds that the ''forbidden lands edge gathering'' that was clearly not dangerous according to the reports, could turn into such an unexpected event.


    Of the Flying Heaven Level guards, less than twenty were left alive.


    Only thanks to Ninth Uncle, who just broke through to become a ''Demigod,'' were they able to hold on until now.


    However among those besieging ferocious beasts, there were also demigod-level ones. Although the beasts were low in intelligence and did not cultivate Star Techniques, relying solely on their bloodlines for growth, they were often the weakest in the same realm due to their inherently strong bodies... But Ninth Uncle had only just made his breakthrough.


    "How could so many ferocious beasts come here."


    "I don''t understand." These Flying Heaven Guards also felt wronged, but even the weakest among them were at the Flying Heaven Peak, and they were all exerting their utmost effort to create a chance for the youth in black armor to escape.


    "Just at this moment!"


    Whoosh!


    The youth in black armor suddenly slashed with the combat saber in his hand, which faintly shimmered with a fiery red glow, directly slicing through the body of a ferocious beast over thirty meters in length.


    Instantly, the beast''s enormous body fell from midair, split in two, blood and a large number of organs poured out.


    And the youth in black armor had taken this opportunity to instantly flash behind the beast several hundred meters away, seemingly about to break out of the encirclement.


    Suddenly.


    "Boom!" The constantly trembling battlefield abruptly tore open, and a colossal hand stretched out from the ground, with blood-colored streams swirling around it.


    The heavens and earth seemed to dim at once.


    "What is this?" The youth in black armor was nearly on a collision course with the gigantic hand, his heart tightened, involuntarily feeling a sense of despair.


    This was the condition when the disparity between Life Levels was immense.


    "The Blood Demon! It''s the legendary Blood Demon! The Blood Demon is awakening? It''s over!!" Horror surged in the youth''s heart as he suddenly recalled the intelligence reports.


    The Blood Demon, the strongest beast in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, typically only awakens once every several dozen trials.


    But once awakened, it is the nightmare of countless trialists.


    Upon encountering one, death is certain!


    "Rumble~" The giant hand, though looking unwieldy, moved with extreme speed, appearing and sweeping past the youth in black armor in an instant, like a boulder crashing into an egg, his body shattering instantly... dead beyond doubt.


    This scene caused the still alive golden armored warriors to be filled with shock and rage, sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Boom!"


    That terrifying giant hand, like a blood-colored pillar, hundreds of yards high, continued to harshly slam down.


    As if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting.


    ...Shortly after the battle ended, one ferocious beast after another quietened down, and that giant hand had once again returned underground.


    Under the invisible force of heaven and earth, the severely damaged and destroyed mountainous valleys began to gradually return to their original state.


    "A bunch of fools."


    "The master had clearly warned the higher-ups of Abyss Country that this is forbidden lands, not to trespass... yet they still dared to come." An invisible thought extended from the blood-mist enshrouded depths of the forbidden lands to this area: "How many Flying Heaven Level beings have been killed?"


    "Not even 30,000 people killed, this time is an important trial for Abyss Country, quite a few children of great clans came, many of whom became Demigods as soon as they entered." Another strong thought came from the ground.


    "As a result, the hunting speed is slower, and my children have suffered considerable losses, many dead and injured, and it will take quite some time to breed new ones."


    The two thoughts communicated.


    "A trial?"


    "Hmph! This is the ''Blood Feeding Grounds'' established by the master, it is only because we have an agreement with the King of Abyss Country." The thought from within the depths of the forbidden lands conveyed: "Regardless of their trials, our task is to monitor the formations, slowly gather ''Life Essence'' as material to prepare Elixirs for the master. The time to present them is near, set off a Blood Catastrophe."


    "That would be good."


    "It''s been over a decade since the last Blood Catastrophe erupted, setting it off once, and not even the higher-ups of Abyss Country can say a word." The thought from the ground responded.


    These two thoughts were one of the hidden powers within the ''Abyss Demon Blood Den.''


    ...


    Within a dim gorge in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    The ground of the gorge had numerous cracks, clearly having also experienced a fierce battle, while the previously fast-flying Demigod Level warship had shaken off the pursuit of a large number of ferocious beasts, and its speed had slowed down.


    Li Yuan remained on the warship.


    "What''s your name? How did you come to the Abyss Demon Blood Den?" The silver armored girl looked at Li Yuan, her voice pleasant.


    Although kind, it did not mean she was foolish; she knew well that those who could come to the Abyss Demon Blood Den were no ordinary people.


    Even on the Jue Xing Continent, a normal person would only grow to about level ten by adulthood... Those who could reach the Flying Heaven Realm were already considered ''elites'', and in some smaller places, they could gather some power.

 Chapter 753 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_2

    "Your Highness, my name is Xu Yuan," Li Yuan made up a name on the spot, somewhat helplessly saying, "I was captured unintentionally."


    "Captured? That''s really unlucky."


    "No wonder you''re only at level 34 and ended up in the Inner Domain; you probably aren''t even familiar with the various intelligence reports," the Silver Armor girl''s clear eyes showed a hint of pity.


    Li Yuan was speechless. The Inner Domain?


    For him, there was no difference between the Outer and Inner Domains, except that there were fewer people in the Inner Domain, which could avoid many troubles.


    But of course, Li Yuan wouldn''t explain any further.


    The Silver Armor girl shook her head and said, "The trial quest was originally voluntary. For some reason, hundreds of years ago, it became mandatory to gather two hundred thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Level every year... If not enough, they would go to various states to capture people..."


    Li Yuan listened on the side.


    According to the intelligence he had gathered, the survival rate in the Abyss Demon Blood Den was very low; of the two hundred thousand warriors at the Flying Heaven Level, less than fifty percent would make it out alive each year... Over time, the enormous number of Flying Heaven Level individuals in Abyss Country naturally became unwilling to participate.


    Hence the capturing began, which, of course, was officially called ''conscription.''


    If one truly had certain backgrounds, as long as they revealed their identities, they wouldn''t be conscripted.


    "If it was just a simple trial to select cultivation geniuses, there would be many ways to do so. Yet they insist on gathering a large number of warriors at the Flying Heaven Level every year, and the death rate is shockingly high," Li Yuan thought in his heart, "This Abyss Demon Blood Den likely contains secrets."


    An enormous and invisible formation enveloped the area.


    Those bizarre Ferocious Beasts... all indicated the special nature of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    From what Li Yuan knew, in the Divine Realm, some super-powerful beings would often slaughter frenziedly for the growth of some special treasures, concoction of Elixirs, powerful treasures, etc.


    Annihilating hundreds or thousands of planets in one go was routine.


    Like the ''Pseudo-God Soul Liquid'' Li Yuan had used before, it was made by refining the souls of Pseudo-God Powerhouses...


    "Anyway, it''s good as long as I can safely leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den," Li Yuan pondered in his heart.


    ... In Jiang Xuan''s eyes, Li Yuan was just an ordinary Flying Heaven with bad luck and no background.


    "Your Highness."


    The burly man known as ''Guardian Uncle,'' no longer having to fully control the Warship, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "We have escaped the pursuit of the Ferocious Beasts, and the identities of these three are unclear. For your safety, it''s better to let them all go."


    Jiang Xuan had not only saved Li Yuan.


    During the recent escape, she had also saved two others.


    "Both of you are at the Flying Heaven Peak; do you still intend to struggle in the Inner Domain?" Jiang Xuan turned to the other two Martial Artists.


    The two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors looked at each other and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the rescue. We still want to try for the Black Abyss Guard positions, so we will not follow Your Highness."


    Following a member of the Royal Family would make it difficult to hunt other Ferocious Beasts.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! The two Flying Heaven Peak Warriors turned into two streaks of light, swiftly leaving in another direction.


    "What about you? Aren''t you leaving?" The burly man looked at Li Yuan, frowning slightly.


    "Guardian Uncle, let him follow us," the Silver Armor girl said, "Xu Yuan is too weak. We haven''t left the Inner Domain yet. Letting him go now, he would probably die if he encountered a group of Ferocious Beasts."


    "Your Highness, we still have to complete a mission. Having him with us will slow us down," the burly man said gravely, "At level 34, with some luck, it''s possible to leave the Inner Domain... Didn''t he make it here by himself before?"


    With Li Yuan''s strength and his Technique for concealing his Cultivation breath, it would be difficult to completely hide the Life Breath of the Flying Heaven Realm from other powerful beings.


    But simply concealing his Life Breath from level 38.9 to level 34 would be undetectable even to an ordinary Demigod.


    "Guardian Uncle!"


    "This time, I don''t want to take the risk," the Silver Armor girl shook her head, "Let''s return to the Outer Realm and await the end of the trial directly."


    "Not taking the risk?" Guardian Uncle was slightly surprised, "Your Highness, this trial is very important."


    "If Fang Uncle and Dong Li are probably dead, I don''t want any more accidents to happen to you. If you all die, even if I succeed in the trial, it won''t mean anything," the Silver Armor girl''s eyes slightly reddened.


    In her heart, people like Guardian Uncle and Fang Uncle were like family, having watched her grow up since she was a child.


    "I don''t want to take the risk. Even without the rewards from this trial, I feel I can enter the Abyssal Emperor Palace for Cultivation on my own, just a few years later at most," the Silver Armor girl''s gaze swept over the group.


    "Your Highness." The burly man became anxious, as he would rather die to let the Highness complete the trial quest.


    The several Flying Heaven Peak Armored Warriors beside him couldn''t help but say, "Your Highness, we are willing to take the risk."


    "My mind is made up," the Silver Armor girl insisted. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a sigh in his heart, the burly man knew the Silver Armor girl''s temperament; she seemed gentle, but was actually very stubborn.


    "Alright."


    "Let''s set out for the Outer Realm and wait for the Blood Den''s gate to open," the burly man said in a low tone, then glanced at Li Yuan.


    Lucky young man.


    The burly man did not care about Li Yuan.


    A level 34 Martial Artist was just in the middle stage of the Flying Heaven; he posed no threat to Jiang Xuan at level 36, who was extremely strong even among those at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    Not to mention threatening him, a new Demigod.


    In the burly man''s eyes, since the Highness was kind-hearted and wanted to take him along, there was no need to make the Highness unhappy.


    ...


    Phew! The Warship continued along the dim canyon, moving away from the forbidden area, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.


    Guardian Uncle and those Soldiers were clearly familiar with the terrain.


    Encountering some human warriors along the way, they all fled upon merely seeing the Warship... A Warship of this level was clearly for the children of major families to come and trial.


    As for Ferocious Beasts? Any that dared approach the Warship, if in great numbers, were easily annihilated by Guardian Uncle with his Demigod Origin Power.

 Chapter 754 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_3

    ```


    The remote attack of a Demigod, though not nearly as powerful as close combat, could easily exterminate the common Flying Heaven Beasts.


    If there were few in number, it would even serve as practice for Jiang Xuan, whose swordsmanship Might was astonishing, but she clearly lacked battle experience.


    The group traversed through canyons, shuttling over tens of thousands of kilometers.


    "Xu Yuan, according to the map, we are not far from the Outer Realm." Jiang Xuan said: "If you are willing, you can follow me until the end of the trial. You were just captured; there is no need for you to participate in this kind of battle."


    "Mhm." Li Yuan nodded. It didn''t matter where he stayed.


    After such a long time, Li Yuan had some judgment in his heart. Jiang Xuan was likely a genius of the Abyss Country''s Royal Family with not a long Cultivation Time, of certain status but probably not the core of the Royal Family.


    "Li Yuan, a large group of troops is approaching, among them are Demigods," Gu You''s voice echoed in Li Yuan''s mind.


    "Huh?" Li Yuan''s heart stirred.


    Soon, at the other end of the canyon, a slight tremor traveled through the air, and quickly, a Void Warship appeared before everyone''s eyes, revealing a massive structure with dense crowds of figures standing on its deck.


    "There are quite a few of them." Li Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly: "All at least Flying Heaven Peak Warriors, three Demigods?"


    Such a force was the strongest Li Yuan had encountered in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    Li Yuan wasn''t the least bit worried.


    However, on the warship, the burly man and a few other Soldiers, their expressions changed: "Not good, it''s Jiang Lei''s team, let''s go."


    Jiang Xuan''s expression turned serious as well.


    Whoosh! The burly man, Uncle Guo, maneuvered the warship, and its speed began to rapidly decrease, trying to fly in the opposite direction, but this took time. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    That''s when,


    Boom! That distant warship picked up speed suddenly, shockingly fast, like a massive trail of firelight, rushing towards Jiang Xuan''s warship.


    "So fast," the burly man''s face changed. This speed was faster than his full effort in maneuvering the warship.


    Clearly, on the other warship, there might very well be a Demigod who has comprehended the True Meaning of Wind.


    Li Yuan, witnessing this scene, was also quite surprised. The speed of a Demigod Level Warship was extremely astonishing; even under the incredible binding pressure on the Jue Xing Continent, it could reach about four kilometers per second.


    Take note that on Blue Star, Flying Heaven Peak Experts could nearly reach 3 kilometers per second in flying speed, while Demigods generally could exceed seven kilometers per second.


    But on the Jue Xing Continent, the normal flying speed of a Flying Heaven Peak Expert was less than 1 kilometer per second.


    In less than ten seconds, the massive warship had already blocked the path of Jiang Xuan''s warship.


    Boom! The warship began to forcefully decelerate.


    "Haha, isn''t this the noble Jiang Xuan? Why are you running away from me like a mouse from a cat?" This sneering voice, amplified by Origin Power, echoed through the canyon.


    The massive warship''s deck cleared out, and a young man in Silver Armor stepped out from the crowd. His features were bewitchingly handsome and he wore a purple-gold crown, his status seemingly very high.


    At his side, apart from the Armored Warriors, there were three figures exuding powerful auras, each looking indifferent, gazing down at Jiang Xuan and her group.


    "Jiang Lei, what do you want to do?" Jiang Xuan''s expression changed, cold as frost.


    She did not expect to encounter this enemy.


    "What would I dare to do to you? My respected Jiang Xuan," the Silver Armor youth showed a ferocious smile, his words laced with mockery: "Your father was a Peak of Pseudo-God, reigning over a whole province... Oh, I almost forgot, your father has been dead for ten years."


    "Hahaha, that Mist Mountain King had dozens of children, but it looks like you didn''t inherit much wealth or treasures. Venturing into the Abyss Demon Blood Den, you only have a single Demigod Level protector by your side," the Silver Armor youth''s eyes were cold, his words filled with disdain.


    "Jiang Lei!" Uncle Guo, the burly man, finally exploded in anger, roaring: "Even the Mist Mountain King is not immune to your criticism."


    Daughter of the Mist Mountain King? A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan''s mind, and he glanced at Jiang Xuan.


    According to the information he had gathered, royal members of the Void God Realm in Abyss Country were usually granted the title of marquis.


    Those royal family members who were granted the title of a king were very rare and were mostly extremely powerful beings among Divine entities or those who had made great contributions.


    As for non-royal Pseudo-Gods, even being ennobled as a marquis was difficult.


    "Get lost!"


    "Jiang Xuan, is this how you teach your subordinates?" the Silver Armor youth''s face turned icy, revealing a hint of murderous intent: "We''re only discussing facts, it''s not as if it''s slander. My father is Marquis Shadow Edge, how about it, Jiang Xuan, does your Demigod servant intend to convict me?"


    "This kind of servant should be killed!" the Silver Armor youth was full of killing intent.


    "Jiang Lei, my subordinate was in the wrong, I apologize to you on his behalf," Jiang Xuan said resolutely.


    She knew of Jiang Lei''s ruthless character.


    If all three of her Demigod guards were present, she wouldn''t fear him, but now only Uncle Guo remained. With the situation against them, she chose to bow her head.


    "Your Highness, I''d rather die than..." the burly man''s eyes turned red.


    "Shut up, Xu Guo, have I indulged you too much? You won''t even listen to my orders?" Jiang Xuan''s face was full of anger, and she yelled sternly: "When we return to the Royal Capital, I will punish you severely."


    The burly man was stunned.


    "Tsk!"


    "Jiang Xuan, stop putting on a show in front of me," Jiang Lei sneered venomously, his eyes cold as those of a snake: "Back then, you captured me and hung me in the Hundred Treasures Tower for three days and nights, making me lose all my face... I will never forget it in this lifetime."


    "Today is the day I wash away the disgrace," Jiang Lei fixed his gaze on Jiang Xuan: "Your father is dead, and in this Abyss Demon Blood Den, your elder brother can''t save you."


    "You dare to kill me?" Jiang Xuan''s face grew colder, realizing there would be no peaceful resolution, she no longer pretended.


    ```

 Chapter 755 400: Clashing of the Royal Family! Li Yuan Takes Action_4

    "I dare not."


    "I''m not stupid, you''re a registered member of the royal family. If I kill you and it''s discovered, I too shall die," sneered Jiang Lei: "But today, all these servants by your side must die!"


    "Without these servants, if you die in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, I won''t be blamed."


    "I''ve also heard that you treat these servants as friends, so surely their deaths will sadden you, hahaha!" Jiang Lei laughed hideously.


    Jiang Xuan''s fury was unparalleled, her small face flushed with anger.


    By her side, Xu Guo and the armored warriors likewise gripped their weapons tightly.


    Even with the overwhelming disparity in strength, they never thought of giving up the fight.


    "Protect Her Highness well."


    The burly man Xu Guo transmitted his voice: "Your Highness, the moment the battle erupts, you must immediately steer the warship and flee; I''ll desperately entangle them."


    "Uncle Guo." Jiang Xuan panicked.


    "Your Highness, your life is what matters, listen to me, you can''t bet on Jiang Lei not daring to kill you. One''s life can only be controlled by oneself." Xu Guo sternly transmitted, unconcerned about Li Yuan. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In such a situation, who would care about an intermediate-ranked Flying Heaven Martial Artist?


    "Seems you still wish to resist?" The silver-armored young man Jiang Lei sneered coldly and suddenly bellowed: "Attack, kill them all! Remember, don''t hurt Jiang Xuan, capture her alive."


    "Yes, Your Highness!"


    "Kill!" The three Semi-Divine warriors and more than sixty Flying Heaven Peak Experts surrounding him responded in unison, immediately transforming into beams of light and hurtling forward.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The three Semi-Divine warriors instantly flew out of the warship, exuding an imposing aura. Each held a Divine Artifact bestowed by Marquis Ying Feng, capable of exerting immense battle power and meant to protect Jiang Lei.


    Dozens of Flying Heaven Peak guards followed close behind, their formidable presence causing drastic changes in the expressions of Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the others.


    Too powerful.


    Especially the black-robed elder leading them, whose presence was as scorching as the stars. He waved the Divine Artifact scepter in his hand, and a vast array of flame snakes and dragons roared as they lunged forth.


    "Law!"


    "This is a newly-promoted Semi-Divine who has crossed the Threshold of the Fire Law."


    "Such a powerful being should logically have become Semi-Divine already ¡ª definitely a significant figure. Marquis Ying Feng actually commanded him to protect Jiang Lei''s trial task?" Xu Guo''s face was utterly drained of color.


    All were newly-promoted Semi-Divine, but grasping the Law''s Mysteries compared to not comprehending them was a world of difference.


    Just this black-robed elder alone was enough to decimate them.


    "We''re done for!"


    "No!" The several armored warriors beside Xu Guo displayed unwillingness on their faces, along with a hint of fear.


    Standing at the back, Li Yuan slightly shook his head: "I originally thought that following a royal family member would spare me many troubles in battles and keep me inconspicuous, but it seems I still have to take action."


    Boom!


    The previously inconspicuous Li Yuan standing behind Jiang Xuan, who exhibited the weakest Life Breath, suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura. His body instantly grew to a height of ten meters, followed by strands of earthy yellow energy appearing out of nowhere in the surrounding void.


    As the earthy yellow energy descended, all the flames and flame snakes in the void dissipated.


    The entire ravine, within several kilometers, was engulfed in the surging earthy yellow currents.


    Nine Yellow Dragons appeared, meandering through the immense domain.


    The whole world seemed to grow quiet at this moment.


    On Jiang Xuan''s warship, Jiang Xuan and her armored warriors were all immobilized, while Xu Guo was shockingly overwhelmed, feeling as though he was shouldering a mountain.


    In contrast, Jiang Lei''s subordinates, who had just charged out of the warship, were all more than sixty Flying Heaven Peak Experts, completely suppressed and suspended in the void, unable to move.


    The three Semi-Divine warriors were fully restrained, struggling with great difficulty to invoke the Mysteries of True Intent or the Mysteries of the Law.


    "How is this possible!"


    "We are Semi-Divine, and brother is even one who has comprehended the Law." The three Semi-Divine were filled with terror.


    In their view, with the three of them joining forces and holding Divine Artifacts, they should be invincible within the Abyss Demon Blood Den unless they encountered blood disasters or swarms of Semi-Divine level ferocious beasts.


    Just now, their attention had been solely on Xu Guo, completely overlooking the 34-year-old in black armor.


    But now!


    This unremarkable youth suddenly unleashed such a terrifying domain! Pure domain suppression was choking them, their flight speed dropping by more than 90%.


    "What kind of domain is this?"


    "Is he Semi-Divine? Or at Semi-Divine Peak?"


    "Why would such a supreme expert protect Jiang Xuan?" These three Semi-Divine panicked, knowing they had hit a snag today.


    "Spare us!"


    "Senior, please spare our lives." The three Semi-Divine warriors transmitted desperate pleas, seeking to survive.


    But Li Yuan remained calm.


    "Roar~" "Roar~" "Roar~" The previously circling nine Yellow Dragons finally erupted, roaring across the vast sky, each exuding strength close to a middle-ranked Semi-Divine, slaughtering those dozens of Flying Heaven Peak Experts.


    Even the three Semi-Divine warriors did not fare any better.


    Even the black-robed elder managed only a brief resistance before being directly torn apart by the nine Yellow Dragons.


    Vanquished!


    In less than three seconds, all of Jiang Lei''s guards were slain, and even the dozen Flying Heaven level protectors on the warship''s deck were wiped out.


    "Now, only you are left." Li Yuan looked at Jiang Lei, his seemingly calm gaze instilling chilling terror and endless fear in Jiang Lei.


    Jiang Lei had a feeling.


    In the next second, he was going to be killed.


    "Jiang Xuan." Li Yuan turned to the shocked silver-armored girl: "The decision to kill him or not is yours to make."

 Chapter 756 401: Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent

    ```


    Huff!


    A silver chain appeared in the void, agile like a silver serpent, binding Jiang Lei¡ªwho was already immobilized by domain suppression¡ªwithout any room for resistance.


    Thump!


    Jiang Lei, trussed up like a rice dumpling, was flung from his warship and dropped onto the warship where Jiang Xuan was.


    Then came a rumbling sound~


    The vast domain that previously spread across several kilometers began to rapidly retract, and the nine Yellow Dragons also shrank drastically, zipping towards Li Yuan.


    "Nowadays, merely with my domain, I can easily slay Semi-Divine Initial Rank martial artists," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Two years ago, during the Feixing great battle, Li Yuan''s Heaven and Earth River Domain, along with the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, was already powerful enough to suppress Semi-Divine Middle Rank experts, and once he commenced an attack, apart from the domain, the eruption of the nine Yellow Dragons was akin to the might of Semi-Divine Initial Rank martial artists.


    Two years had passed.


    Although Li Yuan''s Origin Power remained at level 38.9, his comprehension of the Laws had enhanced across the board compared to two years ago.


    Take for instance, the Wind Law and Earth Law seemed to remain at the initial phase of Seventh Stage, but could the initial phase at 1% and at 29% be the same?


    What indeed greatly enhanced the might of Li Yuan''s domain was the integration with the Mysteries of Space.


    Continual delving into space made it so that whether Li Yuan deployed his Domain Star Technique Heaven and Earth River, or the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, the might of each had noticeably improved.


    Now, even Semi-Divine Peak experts within Li Yuan''s domain would face extremely significant suppression, let alone several newly advanced demigods and those at the Flying Heaven Peak.


    No matter how many came, that was how many he could kill.


    Li Yuan''s close-combat Spear Technique was still in the accumulation phase, and he had yet to fathom the fourth move of the Boundary Cloud Spear. Compared to two years ago, his close-combat prowess hadn''t fundamentally changed, but in other respects, his abilities were improving rapidly.


    Huff!


    Li Yuan completely withdrew his domain, and what also disappeared along with it were the numerous treasures left by the fallen demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors.


    Even the Storage Treasure that Jiang Lei carried on him had been directly looted by Li Yuan just now.


    It could be said that other than that sizable warship, all the loot that could be taken from Jiang Lei''s squad had been taken by Li Yuan.


    No helping it¡ªbroke!


    Naturally, Li Yuan had to find a way to collect some treasures. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The treasures left behind by those few demigods added up to be worth hundreds of Fangshen Crystals, not too trifling an amount.


    "Me?" Jiang Lei lay on the ground, looking at the nonchalant Li Yuan with a face full of terror.


    He really wanted to beg for mercy, but he simply could not speak.


    The Divine Artifact Chains not only sealed his limbs but also directly sealed the Origin Power within his Star Meridians, sealed his six senses, even suppressed certain soul fluctuations, making it very difficult to self-destruct or send out a Soul Transmission Sound.


    Otherwise, why would it be called a Divine Artifact?


    If Jiang Lei were a demigod, the Divine Artifact Chains would still struggle to suppress a Soul Transmission Sound, but after all, he was only at the Flying Heaven Level.


    Therefore, Jiang Lei was unable to beg for mercy, he couldn''t even hear the outside world; he could only signal frantically with his eyes.


    "Jiang Xuan, have you thought it through?" Li Yuan turned his head to look at the silver-armored young girl and transmitted his voice to her.


    For this kind-hearted Royal Family princess, Li Yuan still had quite a favorable impression.


    Even if one is not kind themselves, they often hope others are kind; such is human nature.


    "Me!" Jiang Xuan''s heart jolted, realizing only now that the oppressive aura on her had vanished without a trace. She was incredibly shocked as she looked at Li Yuan and then at Jiang Lei, who was already lying on the deck of the warship.


    She couldn''t help but look towards Li Yuan.


    Earlier, when facing the onslaught of Jiang Lei''s squad, she had felt somewhat hopeless, even imagining the scenario where she would be captured and humiliated.


    But what she was most worried about at that time was the safety of Xu Guo and the others; she truly didn''t want her guards to fall.


    Yet, she''d never imagined.


    That the Flying Heaven Warrior, whom she thought was simply an unlucky fellow receiving her care out of charity, would possess such terrifying strength.


    Newly advanced demigods who comprehended the Laws were instantly slain.


    Not just Jiang Xuan.


    The burly Xu Guo and several armored warriors were also shocked to their core.


    "Too terrifying."


    "With such strength, to instantly kill three demigods, this man named Xu Yuan... oh no, Lord Xu Yuan is too frightening."


    "That nine Yellow Dragons just now, I felt like they were nine real Semi-Divine True Dragons." These armored warriors all held their breath.


    On Jue Xing Continent, the strong are revered.


    Even if they are from great clans, even if they are descendants of the divine, they do not earn as much respect as real powerhouses.


    And without a doubt, at this moment, Li Yuan was a true powerhouse in their eyes.


    "I''m really stupid, seriously, I just thought he was a silly little guy who got lucky and made it deep into the Inner Domain," Xu Guo thought with trepidation, the more formidable he was, the more he understood how terrifying the methods Li Yuan had just used: "I never thought that he would be such a super expert."


    "He must not be level 34; the Body Refining Star Technique he just used, I fear is the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique..."


    "But whether it''s me or the demigods under Jiang Lei''s command, we all failed to see through his disguise... Could it be that he too is a newly crowned demigod with extremely high Law Comprehension?"


    "But for a demigod to disguise as a Flying Heaven Realm... How powerful must his Breath Concealing Technique be?" A myriad of thoughts flew through Xu Guo''s mind: "Or, he is an extremely terrifying fighter of the Flying Heaven Realm, but to unleash such strength as Flying Heaven? How monstrous that would be."


    "Even Prince Jiang Shan, with Seven Star Veins, a top-tier prodigy among the current Royal Family, whose power is so strong it''s almost Pseudo-God, didn''t compare at Flying Heaven Level, right?"


    Xu Guo''s perspective wasn''t low.


    But in a short time, he couldn''t figure out Li Yuan''s ins and outs.


    "Princess," Xu Guo sent a transmission: "Be cautious in your dealings, I suspect Xu Yuan is a top-tier genius of the Flying Heaven Seven Star Veins, and his Law Comprehension must be exceptionally high, too. He must have also deployed a powerful Divine Artifact just now; he definitely has some background and history."


    ```

 Chapter 757 401 Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent_2

    ```


    "It''s possible he comes from one of the hidden Great Sects, but he seems to have a good impression of Your Highness." Xu Guo communicated telepathically: "If he is willing to help you, we will definitely be able to complete the trial task."


    At this moment, Xu Guo was still thinking about Jiang Xuan''s trial task.


    "Uncle Guo, I have my own judgment." Jiang Xuan responded, her mind somewhat in turmoil.


    ...Seeing that Jiang Xuan did not respond, Li Yuan did not rush to ask further, knowing she needed some time to digest the situation.


    Li Yuan was checking the treasures left behind by the Demigods and the Flying Heaven Warriors in the Ancient Divine Palace.


    "There are quite a few weapons and elixirs."


    "There are also quite a few heads of Flying Heaven Level Ferocious Beasts..." Li Yuan''s soul was incredibly powerful, breaking the unclaimed seals on Storage Treasures with ease.


    He cracked several Storage Treasures in succession.


    Unfortunately, they did not contain what Li Yuan was looking for.


    "There are plenty of treasures, but no books or message crystals?"


    "Do they not read?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, though he understood that Flying Heaven Warriors, with their strong memories, didn''t particularly need books.


    "Xu, Senior Xu Yuan." Jiang Xuan was quite nervous and couldn''t help but speak out.


    "Senior?" Li Yuan looked towards the somewhat uneasy Jiang Xuan and smiled, "Jiang Xuan, by status, you are nobler than me, and I''m probably not much older than you are. Just keep calling me Xu Yuan, like before."


    "Not much older than me?" Jiang Xuan was slightly surprised, as if she had realized something: "Then I will call you Brother Xu."


    "Alright." Li Yuan nodded, no longer dwelling on the form of address.


    It wasn''t important.


    "Brother Xu, I want to thank you for this time. Without you, Uncle Guo and the others would have probably had a hard time surviving," Jiang Xuan said sincerely.


    "But for Jiang Lei, I still hope you would release him," Jiang Xuan pointed at the bound Jiang Lei on the ground.


    Jiang Lei couldn''t hear the exchange between the two, growing more anxious by the moment.


    "Release him? Are you sure? He just tried to capture you," Li Yuan frowned.


    "He planned to capture me but probably didn''t intend to kill me," Jiang Xuan shook her head: "I know Brother Xu is trying to protect me. But his father is the Shadow Blade Marquis, a Pseudo-God of my Abyss Country''s Royal Family... Brother Xu, you''re not a mighty one from my Abyss Country, are you?"


    Li Yuan just smiled and shook his head without further explanation.


    "Brother Xu''s strength, I guess, is that of a disciple from one of the hidden Great Sects out on a journey to temper himself," Jiang Xuan said: "I''ve read some books and seen many such legends... Peerless geniuses concealing their identity, wandering the lands, and ultimately becoming True Gods, founding their own Divine Kingdoms."


    "I know Brother Xu can''t reveal his identity, consider it my wild guess," Jiang Xuan smiled, her heart relaxing a bit during the conversation.


    Li Yuan, hearing this, chose not to explain his origins any further, leaving her to her imagination.


    "Would killing him let the Shadow Blade Marquis know the true perpetrator?" Li Yuan wondered.


    "It''s hard to say," Jiang Xuan shook her head: "The Abyss Demon Blood Den is a special secret realm, absolutely sealed off, not even Pseudo-Gods can break in, let alone spy... But there are no walls in the world that are completely impenetrable, perhaps the Divine have special methods of Inquiry."


    "Brother Xu may not fear the Shadow Blade Marquis, but this is the Territory of my Abyss Country, there''s no need to invite trouble," Jiang Xuan said: "If Brother Xu trusts me, shall I handle it?"


    "Alright," Li Yuan nodded.


    If this were outside the Abyss Demon Blood Den, he would have killed him outright.


    What of a Divine''s offspring? Kill and run, the world is vast, and even the Divine would be powerless to catch him.


    But this was Abyss Country''s turf, so caution was warranted.


    Li Yuan waved his hand, loosening some of Jiang Lei''s seals, allowing him to hear outside and allowing him to speak.


    "Jiang Xuan, spare me! Please, mercy!" Jiang Lei hurriedly pleaded, a complete change from his demeanor before.


    "Jiang Lei, shut up!"


    "Brother Xu is a good friend my brother made in the Starry Sky Ancient City; he happened to come to Abyss Country, and my brother asked him to protect me," Jiang Xuan''s voice was icy: "I didn''t want to reveal Brother Xu''s presence just now; you forced my hand."


    "I''ve recorded everything about your attempt to assassinate me... but for Brother Xu''s sake, I will not report it," Jiang Xuan glared at him: "I just asked Brother Xu to spare your life."


    "I''m warning you, don''t leak the existence of Brother Xu... If it gets out, not only you but even your father may be implicated."


    Li Yuan was surprised to hear this on the side.


    And Jiang Lei was frightened, Jiang Xuan''s big brother''s friend? From the Starry Sky Ancient City? A surname Xu?


    Instantly!


    "Is it the peerless monster from the Starry Sky Ancient City tempering himself through trial?" Jiang Lei thought of various possibilities.


    The key was Li Yuan''s terrifying strength on display, which in turn substantiated his guesses, sending a chill down his spine.


    Starry Sky Ancient City, that was a place said to possess unrivaled power, even above the three thousand Divine Kingdoms of the continent.


    Though Jiang Lei was a Divine offspring, he only had a vague understanding of the Starry Sky Ancient City, not even qualified to visit.


    As far as Jiang Lei knew, every few years the Divine Kingdoms would select top geniuses to go to the Starry Sky Ancient City, but the vast majority would not receive approval... The official members of the Starry Sky Ancient City, as legends had it, all were Divine.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Lei felt even colder inside.


    "Brother Xu, please let him go," Jiang Xuan respectfully asked Li Yuan.


    "Okay," Li Yuan said coldly, his expression indifferent but his heart calm, and retracted the Divine Artifact Chains.


    "Jiang Lei, get out of here," Jiang Xuan said.


    Whoosh!


    In a panic, Jiang Lei immediately turned into a streak of light, flying into his warship, quickly piloting it away.


    A Storage Treasure?


    Having convinced himself of Li Yuan''s identity, all he wanted was to escape quickly, fearing Li Yuan would change his mind and kill him again, where could he dare to hope to get his Storage Treasure back.

    ...On Jiang Xuan''s warship.

    "Brother Xu, I''m sorry, we could only resort to such a measure," Jiang Xuan said. "That Jiang Lei is just a prodigal son; these words should be enough to scare him off."


    "No worries," Li Yuan smiled.


    He had to admit, Jiang Xuan was clever; using intimidation, along with the display of his own strength, it was easy to frighten someone.


    Jiang Lei didn''t die by his hand, so today''s events wouldn''t cause too much of an uproar.


    Just then.


    "Lord Xu Yuan," Xu Guo couldn''t help but say, "With such strength, yet you came to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, could it be for the treasures within the forbidden land?"


    "Forbidden land treasures?" Li Yuan muttered softly and then glanced at him: "No, I was just traveling to Abyss Country and stumbled upon the opening of the Blood Den. After briefly understanding the rules, I wanted to take a look and broaden my horizons."


    Since Jiang Xuan suspected that he was a disciple of some major sect, Li Yuan didn''t mind pretending to be one.


    "Uncle Guo!"


    Before Xu Guo had the chance to speak, Jiang Xuan''s face suddenly showed anger: "I''ve said it before, the forbidden land is extremely dangerous, I will not go there again." sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At once.


    Jiang Xuan looked towards Li Yuan, said with a bitter smile, "Brother Xu Yuan, I''m sorry, please don''t listen to Uncle Guo''s temptation. This trial in Source Devil Blood Cavern is quite peculiar, the forbidden land is very strange, not to be trifled with. I hope you won''t blame Uncle Guo; he''s only looking out for me."


    Li Yuan''s thoughts turned, and he quickly understood Xu Guo''s intentions.


    The man probably wanted to use his strength to help Jiang Xuan complete the trial task.


    "Xu Guo, you are a loyal guard, but your loyalty is misplaced," Li Yuan said indifferently: "Jiang Xuan is decent and I have some good feelings for her, willing to lend a hand, but that doesn''t mean I''m willing to take risks."


    "I came to the Abyss Demon Blood Den just to have a look around, other matters, forget it."


    "If you want to venture into that so-called forbidden place, then we shall part ways here," Li Yuan said directly.


    Li Yuan did not want to take too great of a risk in the Abyss Demon Blood Den but wanted to wait safely until he could leave, then slowly find ways to explore the Jue Xing Continent.


    "Lord."


    Xu Guo''s complexion changed slightly as he bowed and said, "I''m wrong, I will listen to everything Your Highness says, I hope you''ll forgive me."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly and did not blame him further.


    "Brother Xu Yuan, let''s continue towards the Outer Realm," Jiang Xuan said, "The Outer Realm has the fewest ferocious beasts and is relatively the safest."


    "No need, there may be more ferocious beasts in the Inner Domain, but fewer people, it''s more tranquil," Li Yuan said.


    ...


    Following Li Yuan''s opinion.


    The warship Jiang Xuan piloted decided to continue forward in the Inner Domain.


    Xu Guo did not object; after all, with Li Yuan with them, their team was almost absolutely safe as long as they did not venture into the forbidden area.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan unlocked all the Storage Treasures he had acquired as spoils of war, including the two belonging to Jiang Lei, obtaining a vast number of items.


    For those weapons, elixirs, and miscellaneous items, Li Yuan mostly didn''t care for them and casually set them aside.


    However.


    Li Yuan finally found more than ten ''Message Crystal Stones'', most containing cultivation method messages, but there were also several crystals imbued with common knowledge and some historical legends of the Jue Xing Continent.


    He didn''t need those cultivation method messages; after all, he had received the True God Heritage from two entities and hardly lacked anything.


    But that common knowledge was precisely what Li Yuan urgently needed.


    "Abyss Country Introduction of four hundred eighty provinces"


    "Abyss Country Brief Introduction of eight hundred noble families"


    "Abyss Country Ten Thousand Years History Summary"


    "Abyss Country..."


    "Starry Sky Ancient City Legend"


    "Legends of the Hundred Most Powerful True Gods of the Continent"


    "The Magical Jue Xing Divine Pill"


    ...


    Within several seemingly insignificant crystal stones, Li Yuan''s soul and Divine Sense quickly received a wealth of information.


    All were details he had not obtained while interrogating those of Flying Heaven Level.


    Clearly, as a member of the Royal Family, Jiang Lei had access to richer and more secretive information.


    While chatting with Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo, Li Yuan perused the intelligence with part of his consciousness.


    Gradually.


    Li Yuan formed a certain conception and understanding of the whole Abyss Country, the Jue Xing Continent, and even the legendary Starry Sky Ancient City.


    The Starry Sky Ancient City, located in the endless starry space, was the source and beginning of the continent''s civilization.


    There are a total of three Starry Sky Ancient Cities!


    Legend has it that the earliest creatures on the continent descended from the Starry Sky Ancient City, proliferating and eventually spreading civilization across the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    Besides these.


    Li Yuan finally learned about a treasure that interested him¡ªthe Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    The Jue Xing Divine Pill is a Supreme Treasure only owned by one of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities ¨C Jue Xing City... Many Divine Kingdoms and Jue Xing Ancient City trade treasured relics to obtain the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    The Jue Xing Divine Pill, precious beyond measure!


    Incredibly magical!


    Its effect, just like its name, can help Cultivators activate more Life Stars and Star Veins, but how exactly it aids is not recorded in the crystal stones.


    Its value? Likewise unlisted.


    It only mentioned that even if one obtains the Jue Xing Divine Pill, there are difficulties in consumption, and it''s not something that can be used limitlessly.


    Because of the existence of the Jue Xing Divine Pill, the Jue Xing Continent has, over the long years, given birth to many unrivalled beings with Semi-Divine Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins, and even Nine Star Veins.


    ..."Nine Star Veins? Has the Jue Xing Continent really produced Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins?" Li Yuan was quite astonished in his heart.


    In the Divine Realm, a Semi-Divine Seven Stars Meridian is already considered a genius, and they are not numerous; usually, each Star Domain would have a batch.


    Semi-Divine Eight Star Veins are extremely rare; usually, as long as their Law Talent is not too poor, they can become disciples of Heavenly Divine and becoming a True God is almost a certainty. Once they are True Gods, their strength is often exceedingly formidable within the ranks of True Gods.

 Chapter 759 401 Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent_4

    If one wishes to become a Heavenly Divine, not only does one need the Star Vein Talent, but also the requirements for Law Talent are extremely high.


    Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins? In the Divine Realm, it''s almost the stuff of legends.


    "According to Little Ice''s previous words, in the history of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, there were nine recorded Semi-Divine beings with Nine Star Pulse, among which five were Second Rank Eight Star Veins, and only four evolved from Second Rank Seven Star Veins," Li Yuan mused silently.


    Second Rank Eight Star Veins would almost all awaken the Nine Star Pulse before ascending to godhood.


    The vast majority of those with Second Rank Seven Star Veins, however, would end at Eight Star Veins, with only a very few reaching the Nine Star Pulse.


    "Of those nine historic figures with Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins in the Heavenly Serpent Clan history, aside from the two that perished during their True God phase, the remaining seven all eventually ascended to Heavenly God," Li Yuan sighed to himself, "and there was even one who surpassed the Heavenly Divine, becoming the most magnificent existence in the history of the Heavenly Serpent Clan."


    Because of that magnificent being who surpassed the Heavenly Gods,


    its bloodline descendants evolved upon the basis of Heaven Snake to give rise to the ''Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent,'' a top-tier Divine Beast bloodline.


    ...


    Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins hold the highest level of Star Vein Talent even in the Divine Realm.


    Their emergence would always lead to a fierce scramble among numerous Heavenly Divines, who wish to take the possessor as a disciple.


    Jue Xing Continent, though vast and boundless, is still less than one ten-thousandth the size of the Divine Realm... to think that a Nine Star Vein could be born here?


    Receiving such information naturally took Li Yuan by surprise.


    To learn more, Li Yuan subtly brought up this legendary figure during his conversations with Jiang Xuan.


    "Senior Gu Yun."


    Jiang Xuan''s eyes reflected reverence, "Brother Xu, that''s a legend of the whole continent."


    "The legend has it that back in the day, Senior Gu Yun was once a member of a Starry Sky Ancient City yet refused to conform and was exiled, wandering and honing his skills across the continent. Astonishingly, he awakened the Nine Star Pulse and rapidly became a True God... and established a Divine Kingdom," Jiang Xuan said excitedly, "It''s said that later on, Senior Gu Yun even cultivated to a level beyond the True Gods and led many Divine Kingdoms to wage war against the Starry Sky Ancient Cities."


    "He marched towards the depths of the starry heavens!"


    "Engaging in war with the Starry Sky Ancient City?" Li Yuan found the idea shockingly ambitious.


    "It''s a pity, though."


    "I have searched through numerous records, which mention Gu Yun''s war against the Starry Sky Ancient City, but nowhere is the outcome recorded; it''s unknown who won," Jiang Xuan said, shaking her head, "but these deeds are from tens of millions of years ago, and the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities still stand... It''s likely that Senior Gu Yun was ultimately defeated, and that part of history has been erased."


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    By now, he began to doubt whether the ''Starry Sky Ancient City'' on Jue Xing Continent was indeed one of the Starry Sky Ancient Cities in the Divine Realm.


    Should that speculation be true, then it would be normal for Senior Gu Yun to fail... Even a Heavenly Divine would find it hard to shake a Starry Sky Ancient City.


    On the warship.


    "Brother Xu, you should still be at the Flying Heaven Level," Jiang Xuan asked curiously, "May I ask how many Star Meridians you have awakened?"


    "What do you think?" Li Yuan responded with a smile.


    "You must be of the Seven Star Meridian," Jiang Xuan asserted seriously, "otherwise it would be impossible to possess such formidable strength."


    "My brother, when he was in the Flying Heaven Realm, wasn''t nearly as strong as you," added Jiang Xuan.


    Li Yuan revealed a smile but did not answer.


    Through previous exchanges, Li Yuan had learned that Jiang Xuan''s brother, named Jiang Shan, seemed to be a top-level prodigy of the younger generation in the Abyss Country''s Royal Family, claimed to be the number one Semi-Divine in Abyss Country, with the Seven Star Meridian awakened.


    Exactly because of this, even after their father perished ten years ago, their entire family remained prosperous, relying on her big brother.


    According to Li Yuan''s estimation, Jiang Shan''s strength was probably slightly stronger than Principal Fang Hai, considering the longer cultivation time.


    While they were talking.


    Suddenly.


    Some tens of kilometers away in the canyon where the warship was sailing, an astonishing fluctuation erupted on the mountainside, followed by rocks and earth flying in disarray, revealing a gigantic cave.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A group of ferocious beasts emitting savage and powerful auras burst forth from the cave.


    "Not good!"


    "Semi Divine Level ferocious beasts."


    "So many, nine Semi-Divine Level beasts?"


    "Why would so many Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts appear in the Outer Realm? It is quite rare for this to happen internally." Xu Guo and Jiang Xuan''s faces changed, and they instantly thought of a possibility ¡ª a Blood Disaster!


    Once a Blood Disaster erupts, a large number of Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts, along with the most terrifying ''Blood Demon'' within the Abyss Demon Blood Den, would sweep through the entire Abyss Demon Blood Den, slaughtering countless Trialists.


    Normally, out of two hundred thousand Trialists, only twenty percent would survive and leave.


    But if a Blood Disaster occurs, then the percentage of surviving Trialists might sadly be only one!


    "Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts?" A look of curiosity flashed in Li Yuan''s eyes; this was the first time he had encountered Semi-Divine Level beasts.

    Those with Semi-Divine Eight Star Veins often qualified

 Chapter 760 402: Escape! Encirclement from All Sides

    Li Yuan had been wandering in the Outer Realm and Inner Domain previously, encountering only Flying Heaven Level ferocious beasts.


    But Semi-Divine Level beasts normally appear in forbidden regions, only occasionally venturing out to the edges.


    The Inner Domain? You would hardly see any Semi-Divine Level beasts.


    "These Semi-Divine Level beasts, their Life Breath isn''t particularly strong; Inquiry shows they are level 40, 41." Li Yuan had already deployed Divine Palace Exploration to confirm the Life Level of these emerging beasts.


    "[...Slaying them will yield Spirituality Nourishment]."


    "It seems they are real living creatures, not puppets like the Flying Heaven Level beasts," Li Yuan thought, many ideas flashing through his mind: "But it''s uncertain whether the Spirituality Nourishment received from killing them is as much as from slaying a normal Semi-Divine expert."


    Since the Soul Will had not broken through, Li Yuan''s Spiritual Awakening Level had always been capped at 80%. Even if he killed a Demigod, it would only remind him to obtain Spirituality Nourishment without showing the exact amount.


    "If the chance arises, there may be an opportunity for a slaughter," Li Yuan thought to himself: "By then, when my Soul undergoes Metamorphosis to reach the Void God Realm and my Spiritual Awakening Level limit reaches 85% or even 90%, I can directly surge to the limit."


    Even if reaching the limit of Spiritual Awakening, one could continuously accumulate Spirituality Nourishment.


    "However."


    "To suddenly come across more than ten Semi-Divine Level beasts, could this indeed be the Blood Disaster referred to by Jiang Xuan and the others?" Li Yuan was inwardly astonished.


    Blood Disaster sweeps across the entire Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    "Sixteen Semi-Divine Level beasts?"


    "With so many, it must be a Blood Disaster burst, but it hasn''t even been twenty occurrences since the last one, could it come this quickly?" Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the rest wore changing expressions.


    They were not that afraid of the dozen or so Semi-Divine Level beasts, after all, they had the highly skilled Li Yuan with them.


    With Li Yuan''s displayed strength, slaying these Semi-Divine Level beasts shouldn''t be hard. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But the true terror of Blood Disaster lies in the ''Blood Demons'', capable of causing any Flying Heaven Level to lose their will to resist.


    "Brother Xu, it must be the Blood Disaster burst; we need to escape the Inner Domain quickly," Jiang Xuan hurriedly transmitted: "From the forbidden lands to the Inner Domain, then to the Outer Realm, the danger decreases gradually... Only by fleeing to the Outer Realm can we have a greater hope of survival."


    "I know you have great strength, but based on the intelligence we''ve acquired, killing these Semi-Divine Level beasts, the more you kill, the more it will attract other Semi-Divine Level beasts to besiege us, and if we provoke a Blood Demon, it''s all over," Jiang Xuan''s voice was urgent.


    She was worried Li Yuan would take action directly.


    Xu Guo and several Armored Warriors couldn''t help but look towards Li Yuan, waiting for his command.


    Though subordinates of Jiang Xuan, at such life-and-death moments, they tend to follow the strongest.


    Of course, if the strongest one made a ''suicidal move'', that would be the exception.


    "Let''s go," said Li Yuan.


    Boom!


    The Void Warship immediately moved, Xu Guo controlling the warship, its speed began to surge, quickly fleeing toward the other end of the gorge.


    At this moment, the sixteen Semi-Divine Level beasts, emerging from the cave, had already sensed Li Yuan, Jiang Xuan, and their Life Breath... In their perception, these were Blood Feast.


    Their mission was to kill all this Blood Feast.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!" The sixteen Semi-Divine Level beasts, with their towering and fierce might, more horrifying than the hundreds of Flying Heaven Level beasts before, turned into streaks of light, chasing like lightning.


    Among these Semi-Divine Level beasts, there were two that resembled bats, exceptionally swift, their surfaces diffusely emitting a blue glow, dazzling to the eye.


    "Not good."


    "There are two Wind System beasts faster than our warship," Xu Guo''s face changed, saying, "Brother Xu, Your Highness, I am not adept at controlling the warship."


    Li Yuan frowned slightly.


    This Void Warship, if at full speed, would be faster than the flight of a Semi-Divine expert... Alas, Xu Guo did not cultivate the True Meaning of Wind.


    "If I were to control the ship, I should be able to shake them off, but I would need some time to refine the warship''s core," Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Even with his strength, he couldn''t instantly refine a Semi Divine Artifact.


    "Roar~" "Roar~" The two bat-like beasts quickly closed in.


    Jiang Xuan and others became even more anxious.


    "Prepare to retract the warship, don''t resist," Li Yuan''s voice echoed in their minds.


    Swoosh! With a wave of his hand, another long shuttle appeared next to the original warship, its surface emitting a hazy glow, resembling nebulae.


    A Divine Artifact¡ªNebula Extreme Sky Shuttle!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Xu Guo, a Semi-Divine, reacted swiftly, collected his own warship into the Storage Magical Treasure with a wave of his hand, and promptly felt an invisible force enveloping him.


    He, along with Jiang Xuan and several Armored Warriors, were brought into the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle by Li Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    The speed of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning, far surpassing the flight speed of the two Wind System beasts and leaving them far behind.


    "This!"


    "Such tremendous speed."


    "What kind of warship is this?" Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo were both shocked. They could still observe the outside from inside the warship and naturally noticed the terrifying speed of the long shuttle, more than twice as fast as their own warships.


    Twice the speed? Absolutely frightening!


    A Semi-Divine Peak expert''s flight speed was merely so.


    "My warship," Li Yuan said indifferently.


    ```


    In fact, with Li Yuan''s current understanding of the Wind Law and the Mysteries of Space, if he were to operate at full strength, the velocity of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle could be increased by more than fifty percent.


    After all, the theoretical ''extreme speed'' of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle surpasses even the Pseudo-God Peak. Right now, Li Yuan has only tapped into a small portion of its might.


    Whoosh!


    Under Li Yuan''s full control, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, less than twenty meters in length, darted away like an agile fish, swiftly evading the pursuit of more than ten Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts.


    ...


    In the deepest reaches of the Abyss Demon Blood Den, within the forbidden area.


    Two powerful consciousnesses were exchanging thoughts.


    "How effective is the Blood Calamity?" inquired a consciousness from the forbidden area.


    "Very effective. It was indeed a wise decision to deploy a large number of our offspring to the Inner Domain and Outer Realm. The slaughter efficacy has immediately increased," the consciousness from the earth responded. "At this rate, we can exterminate all the Blood Feasts within a day."


    "Leave some behind. Keep to the previous ratio, one percent," suggested the consciousness from the forbidden area. "If we exterminate them all, I fear no one will be willing to enter again."


    "I understand," replied the earth consciousness.


    Suddenly.


    "Huh! Interesting!" The earth consciousness exclaimed in surprise.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "My offspring have found something interesting¡ªa warship capable of reaching the Semi-Divine Peak Level," the earth consciousness replied. "It must be a formidable Divine Artifact... The worth of an artifact depends on how well it''s utilized. It appears we have a capable Flying Heaven Level being here; uncertain if it''s operated by a demigod."


    "Oh?" The consciousness from the forbidden area was also curious. "From what you''re implying, seize it with full effort?"


    "According to the master''s command, life¡ªimbued with the essence of heaven and earth¡ªthe more formidable the Flying Heaven Level being, the more essence their Soul Spirit and flesh hold... to kill them would be greatly beneficial."


    "Besides, such a formidable artifact is worth perhaps hundreds of Fangshen Crystals... Accumulating bit by bit, our master would be pleased as well," replied the earth consciousness.


    Both consciousnesses, secretly collected treasures from the Trialists they killed, though they usually did it inconspicuously.


    "I have instructed my offspring to attack from all directions. They cannot escape," declared the earth consciousness confidently. "First, we''ll annihilate them before going after other Blood Feasts."


    ...


    In a dim canyon.


    After evading another group of ferocious beasts, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle slowed down and landed among a cluster of towering trees, concealing their tracks.


    "The Blood Calamity has erupted."


    "Everywhere is unsafe," remarked Xu Guo. "Whether moving forward or backward, we might encounter other hordes of ferocious beasts. It''s better to stay put."


    "How fortunate we have Master Xu Yuan," Xu Guo said with eyes full of admiration.


    The armored warriors felt the same way.


    "It''s a small matter," Li Yuan responded calmly.


    "What a pity, this Blood Calamity... who knows how many Trialists will perish because of it, the survivors are probably less than one in a hundred," Jiang Xuan murmured softly, disliking the act of slaughter deep in her bones.


    However, she quickly recovered and looked at Li Yuan, "Brother Xu, you''ve saved me once again."


    "I''m also saving myself," Li Yuan said with a smile, then his tone shifted, "There are ten days left until the end of the trial. Will this Blood Calamity continue throughout?"


    Li Yuan estimated that if it persisted, like a tidal wave, the hordes of ferocious beasts would probably wipe out all Trialists in the Abyss Demon Blood Den... After all, this was the lair of the beasts, they were very familiar with the terrain.


    With the invisible Origin Power Array enveloping them, Trialists could hardly move mountains, even Li Yuan found it difficult.


    One could only proceed through fixed canyon passages.


    But what about the beasts? They could carve passages through the mountains, obviously taking advantage of the terrain.


    "It usually lasts one or two days," Jiang Xuan replied helplessly. "Actually, people have always suspected that the entire Abyss Demon Blood Den is secretly controlled by an unseen force... Many suspect it to be the upper echelons of Abyss Country."


    "The high ranks of Abyss Country?" Li Yuan was surprised.


    "Yes," Xu Guo also added, "although it has never been proven, it is also the origin of the word ''Abyssal Demon'' in the name of the Blood Den."


    Li Yuan fell silent.


    It sounded like many citizens of Abyss Country had a lot of complaints about the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    Regrettably, with great power concentrated among a few, it''s destined that the higher-ups of Abyss Country wouldn''t pay much attention to the thoughts of the common folk.


    As Li Yuan knew, in the Divine Realm, some mighty Heavenly Divine beings ruling over vast starry territories with millions of Life Planets under their command, all were in total slavery... regularly sacrificing a large number of Life Planets.


    Even labeled as ''Demon Gods''!!


    Yet, those Heavenly Divine beings continued to live freely and at ease, all relying on their formidable power... The rule of Abyss Country was already comparatively peaceful.


    Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had elapsed.


    The canyon was very quiet.


    "Hmm?" Li Yuan suddenly had a premonition, and instantly sensed large numbers of figures emerging in the passages on both sides of the canyon, all moving at an astonishing speed.


    ```

 Chapter 761 403: Heavenly Divine Relics

    "Boom!" Another mountain range in a different direction exploded, and a gigantic arm hundreds of meters long stretched out from the heavens and earth, with countless dirt and rocks scattering.


    Another Blood Demon!


    The emergence of two Blood Demons made the oppressive might filling the air even more terrifying.


    "This!!"


    "To have actually attracted a Blood Demon?" Jiang Xuan''s face paled, and her heart was even more distressed: "We should not have come for this trial; Uncle Fang, Uncle Guo, they''re all going to die because of me."


    "And I''ve also dragged down Brother Xu." Jiang Xuan couldn''t help but glance at Li Yuan, who still maintained a calm demeanor.


    "Lord Xu Yuan hadn''t even made a move to slaughter."


    "It shouldn''t be like this." Xu Guo and the several Armored Warriors were even paler: "According to the intelligence we have, such a thing has never happened in the past."


    "Or is it that it has happened before, but everyone who encountered it has died."


    At this moment, they all believed they were doomed.


    Even if they still had faith in Li Yuan, after all, he was just at the Flying Heaven Realm. Even if his Domain might was strong, how powerful could his actual combat strength be?


    At most, he had the strength of a Semi-Divine Peak.


    But there were hundreds of Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts here, and two terrifyingly powerful Blood Demons as well.


    "Brother Xu." Jiang Xuan suddenly said anxiously: "Let Uncle Guo and the others leave the Warship, desperately draw the attention of some Blood Demons... and you take the opportunity to flee, maybe there''s a slim chance of survival."


    "I''ve already thought about it." S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I guess it''s because you, Brother Xu, took action to save us, revealing your overwhelming strength, which led to the power behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den to target us, otherwise, such terrifying power would not be rounded up against us," said Jiang Xuan hastily.


    She was extremely intelligent. In a very short period of time, she speculated on some possibilities...


    Xu Guo and the others couldn''t help but look at Jiang Xuan, desperately fighting for a chance of survival for Li Yuan?


    Wasn''t this sending oneself to their death?


    But none of them said anything, because, even if they didn''t send themselves to their death, they were likely not going to survive anyway.


    "Jiang Xuan, your intentions are appreciated." Li Yuan, who had always been calm, couldn''t help but reveal a smile, turning his head to look at the Blood Demon that had already torn through the heavens and earth, revealing its entire form.


    "Only, if we go by your deduction, since the power behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den targeted me because I took action, even if I were to escape by luck, I will probably still be hunted down."


    "Then what do we do?" Jiang Xuan was stunned; fighting desperately for Li Yuan was the best solution she had thought of.


    "No need to do anything." Li Yuan''s voice remained indifferent, but his eyes emitted a hint of coldness: "Just stay on the Warship and don''t move."


    In fact, Li Yuan was quite wary of the power behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    The fact that they could find him so quickly was enough to show that the opponent could possibly make inquiries throughout the Blood Den, or at least know his movements.


    And they could mobilize so much power.


    Many signs indicated that the strength behind it must be far superior to his own.


    "But I have no choice now."


    "I barely took any action, and this power behind the scenes wants to round me up, this is unreasonable¡­ The Eternal Hall tasked me here, it couldn''t possibly arrange a mission with such a high likelihood of failure." Li Yuan''s thoughts flickered in his mind: "Moreover, if that power truly wanted to kill me, they should have been able to do so easily."


    Why only send these Semi-Divine Level beings?


    Even the Blood Demons, terrifying in the minds of Xu Guo, Jiang Xuan, and others, under Li Yuan''s Divine Palace Exploration, could be clearly judged for their level ¡ª 46th Tier!


    They posed little threat to Li Yuan''s life.


    "Two possibilities."


    "One, the power the behind the scenes agent can mobilize is limited." Li Yuan''s gaze was ice-cold: "Two, the strength I displayed is very strong, so these Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts are specifically a test aimed at me."


    Regardless of which, Li Yuan only knew one thing, he could no longer flee.


    The blood disaster would continue for at least another day or two; even if he fled now using the Starry Sky Extreme Sky Shuttle, he would likely be besieged again by more Blood Demons and Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts soon.


    "Let''s battle!"


    "Sister, get ready." Li Yuan sent a message to Gu You.


    "Alright." Gu You responded: "I will always pay attention. At a critical moment, I will directly collect you into the Ancient Divine Palace... but remember, this is the last step, under the meticulous inquiry of a Semi-Divine Peak Expert, the existence of the Ancient Divine Palace can be detected."


    "And a Pseudo-God Powerhouse can forcibly suppress the Ancient Divine Palace."


    The Ancient Divine Palace was a True God Instrument, its might boundless, but only a True God could fully unleash its power.


    "Understood."


    With a thought, Li Yuan rushed directly into the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, immediately using the Nine Layer Star Technique "All Things Divine Body," his body transformed into a ten-meter-tall form, his robust Origin Power surged into the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, which instantly enveloped him entirely in the Combat Armor.


    His entire being instantly became like a steel War God.


    "Whoosh!" In Li Yuan''s right palm, a Divine Spear exuding an ancient aura appeared; it seemed to be made of bronze and its surface faintly glowed with a blood color. It was the ''Dark Star Divine Spear'', reforged by Gu You and Qiu Bingzun.


    A Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact.


    Although not as powerful as an Origin Divine Artifact, it was almost the strongest weapon Li Yuan had acquired among regularly forged Pseudo-God Artifacts.


    "Want to battle?"


    "Then I''ll accompany you in battle!" Killing intent surged as Li Yuan, wielding his Long Spear, burst forth like lightning, taking the initiative to attack the two Blood Demons nearly eight hundred meters tall.


    "This kind of aura."


    "A spear? Seeing that he''s holding a Long Spear makes me feel suffocated."


    "Is this Brother Xu''s true strength?" On the Warship, Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo were both shocked as they watched this scene, a Flying Heaven Warrior, directly facing off against two Blood Demons?


    That was too outrageous.


    "Why do I feel that Brother Xu''s aura has a touch of greatness, just like my brother?" Jiang Xuan couldn''t help but say.


    "Stronger than Prince Jiang Shan."

 Chapter 762 762 403 Heavenly Divine Relics_2

    ?Chapter 762: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_2 Chapter 762: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_2 Xu Guo directly said, ¡°Your Highness, this Mr. Xu Yuan¡¯s burst speed in an instant is much faster than that of Semi-Divine Peak, my speed doesn¡¯t even match half of his¡­ I even doubt if he is really at the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°If he truly is at the Flying Heaven Realm, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s even more formidable than most of the Flying Heaven beings in Starry Sky Ancient City,¡± Xu Guo continued.


    ¡°What?¡± A group of people were astonished.


    In the hearts of the high-level powerhouses on Jue Xing Continent, Starry Sky Ancient City is Heaven!


    The official members of Starry Sky Ancient City are all Divine beings.


    And Flying Heaven Realm, Semi Divine Realm reserve members¡­ It indicates that in the eyes of Starry Sky Ancient City¡¯s high echelons, these reserve members are at least hopeful in Becoming Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Or perhaps, he is one of the core members from Starry Sky Ancient City,¡± Xu Guo said.


    ...


    ¡°The fight is about to begin.¡±


    Hearing Xu Guo¡¯s explanation, Jiang Xuan and others sparked a glimmer of hope in their hearts.


    ¡­


    The Blood Demons, were like giants.


    Only their skin was thick and heavy, nearly resembling blood-colored rock, their bodies continuously emitted a slight fog of blood.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± To the left and right, two Blood Demons towering hundreds of feet tall, burst out of the ground and immediately exploded with force.


    Their momentum was like a rainbow, stepping on the Earth, their terrifying power causing the ground to shatter thunderously, stirring up countless boulders, before smashing them down hard on the trembling ground.


    They ferociously charged straight towards Li Yuan.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! A large number of Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts, with eyes flashing crimson, also killed towards Li Yuan, who was actively confronting them, like a tide following the two Blood Demons.


    No one bothered about the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    Clearly, both Blood Demons and the Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts had Li Yuan as their target.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Both Blood Demons suddenly opened their mouths and spewed out terrifying streams of blood-colored airflow. The fierce streams rapidly diffused, soon drowning the world, every plant in the reach of the blood-colored airflow began to wither at a rate visible to the naked eye.


    A great deal of blood-colored airflow tried to submerge Li Yuan.


    ¡°Domain?¡±


    ¡°What a joke.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s combat spirit soared to the sky, and with a thought, he commanded: ¡°Heaven and Earth River! Nine Dragons Xuan Armor!¡±


    Boom! Boom! Boom¡­ Nine Yellow Dragons emerged all at once, followed by the birth of a surging earthy-yellow airflow, as if a gaseous planet was rapidly expanding, its might overwhelming.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± In an instant, that extraordinary might of blood-colored airflow was completely submerged and crushed by the massive earthy-yellow airflow.


    For a moment, the vast Heaven and Earth River Domain completely enveloped the two Blood Demons.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Such fast speed, such a strong domain.¡±


    ¡°This Flying Heaven being has such a powerful domain?¡± Two powerful consciousnesses observing in secret were shocked.


    They can be said to be knowledgeable and experienced.


    Throughout the long years, those who came to venture into the Abyss Demon Blood Den at the Flying Heaven Level were definitely in the ¡®billions¡¯.


    But other than using Law Treasures, never has any Flying Heaven Level being revealed such a strong domain.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Li Yuan displayed a super-strong domain and finally closed in.


    ¡°Roar~!!¡± The two Blood Demons were also suppressed by the Heaven and Earth River Domain, but their terrifying physical bodies endowed them with great strength. Even with a low Law Comprehension, even without deploying a domain, they still possessed Semi-Divine Peak strength. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Only in this way could they easily kill those new Demi-Gods.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The arms of the Blood Demons were exceptionally long and thick, like pillars from heaven, smashing hard towards Li Yuan.


    The two Blood Demons represented four pillars of heaven.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Facing the attack of the two Blood Demons, Li Yuan had cold eyes, holding the spear by the tail with one hand and the middle with the other, directly sweeping across.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Long Spear drew a circle!


    A mere spear over ten meters long was incomparable to the arm-like pillars of heaven, but as the Long Spear danced, the surrounding Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble.


    The two Blood Demons felt the pressure of the surrounding domain rapidly changing, the invisible force, forcing them to react, even their forms began to destabilize.


    At this moment.


    The might of the Spear Technique suddenly erupted, space itself seemed to ripple, and the spear¡¯s body smashed directly onto one of the gigantic arms. Boom~ A large portion of the Blood Demon¡¯s sturdy arm burst apart, and flesh and bones splattered.


    ¡°Whoosh whoosh whoosh!¡± The Long Spear swept and cleaved side-to-side, either smashing the other three Blood Demon arms to pieces or tearing a terrifying wound almost to the point of breaking.


    In a single exchange!


    The two Blood Demons were already severely wounded.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Boom!¡± The two Blood Demons panicked instantly, the huge crimson eyes revealed a color of fear, anxiously retreating backward.


    Even with the Blood Demons¡¯ low intelligence, they still had the ability to discern strength. Undoubtedly, the enemy before them was far superior to them.


    ¡°Thinking of fleeing?¡±


    ¡°Too late!¡± Li Yuan moved again, his speed even more explosively increased from the original basis, directly reaching one of the Blood Demons, stepping on its chest, with a flash already reaching above the head of the Blood Demon.


    Simultaneously, he swung the Long Spear in his hand!


    ¡°Exterminate!¡±


    The Long Spear was dark and seemed as light as the breeze, yet it contained the might to pierce through heaven and earth.


    Boundary Cloud Spear third style¡ªGhost Valley!


    ¡°Boom!¡± With this thrust, the extremely tough head of the Blood Demon was directly punctured, followed by the Spear Light bursting, immediately causing blood and flesh to spray.


    Under the terrifying impact, the towering Blood Demon staggered backward, its head drenched in blood, looking fierce and appalling.


    ¡°A thrust, and still not dead?¡± Li Yuan was surprised, if it were any other Demi-God, they would have fallen to this spear thrust already.


    Semi-Divine Peaks can also be strong and weak.


    Be aware, over the past two years, with continuous integration of the Mysteries of Space into his Spear Technique, Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique might kept increasing, especially after acquiring the Dark Star Divine Spear, his Spear Technique might from two years ago at the initial Semi-Divine Peak level, has now nearly reached the Semi-Divine Limit.

 Chapter 763 763 403 Heavenly Divine Relics_3

    ?Chapter 763: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_3 Chapter 763: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relics_3 But what truly transformed for Li Yuan was the strangeness of his Spear Technique, the combination of Wind, Earth, and space, making his spear work terrifying whether in frontal assault, group combat, defense, or containment.


    ¡°If one spear isn¡¯t enough, then several more will do the job!¡±


    Li Yuan thrust his Long Spear forward, initiating invisible spatial fluctuations, directly shaking and deflecting the Blood Demon¡¯s newly half-regrown arm, causing the injury to worsen.


    Suddenly the Spear Light flickered.


    His entire body¡¯s Vigor erupted, and a torrent of earthen yellow streams surged from the heavens and earth, instantly forming nine enormous and terrifying spear phantoms.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Bang! Bang bang bang bang!¡± The nine consecutive spear phantoms all slammed onto the already injured spot on the Blood Demon¡¯s head, as if nine arrows in a rapid sequence, stacking their Might to a terrifying degree.


    ...


    ¡°Boom~¡± The Blood Demon¡¯s head could no longer withstand the blows, instantly bursting open, its huge body collapsing backwards.


    The Blood Demon, dead! S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Two years ago.¡±


    ¡°I was bestowed by the Origin Power Array, and even with the joint effort with Little Ice, it was extremely difficult to kill a Semi-Divine Peak Expert.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with pride: ¡°Now, by myself, I can swiftly kill a Semi-Divine Peak.¡±


    The so-called Semi-Divine Peak, the division of Semi-Divine Limit, is generally seen only in terms of Attack Limit, Defense Limit, and so on.


    But real combat is multi-dimensional.


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, if he were to face the Ye An Semi Divine, a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, he could easily restrain the opponent without harm to himself.


    ¡°I¡¯d like to see.¡±


    ¡°Whether you, the manipulator behind the scenes, can deploy a Pseudo-God level combatant.¡± Li Yuan gripped his Long Spear, fully committed, charging towards another Blood Demon that had escaped less than twenty kilometers away.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    ¡°Roar~¡± A multitude of Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts, despite their fear of Li Yuan¡¯s prowess, madly charged under their master¡¯s command, attempting to cover the Blood Demon¡¯s retreat.


    If it were another Semi-Divine Peak Expert, he would certainly be hindered.


    But Li Yuan


    ¡°Swish!¡± A Straight Thrust with the Long Spear.


    ¡°Bang~¡± Or a sweep.


    ¡°Slash!¡± Or an angry chop!


    These Semi-Divine Level beasts, mere threshold combatants of Semi-Divine, occasionally of Semi-Divine Initial Rank strength, were relentlessly slaughtered by Li Yuan, with a shockingly rapid pace of Slaughter.


    In just a few seconds, dozens of Semi-Divine Level beasts had fallen, completely unable to block Li Yuan.


    It was a mere delivery of death!


    In truth, the nine Yellow Dragons roaming in his Domain could join forces and kill Semi-Divine Level beasts.


    ¡°Huff!¡± Li Yuan finally neared another Blood Demon, dual-wielding the spear, suddenly twisting his waist as the core, bending like a bow to unleash mighty force. The Long Spear fiercely smashed down on the Blood Demon.


    The Blood Demon¡¯s arm had not fully recovered, growing back only halfway and could only barely put up half an arm in a feeble attempt to block.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    The sound of bones shattering.


    The terrifying Long Spear smashed down, instantly splintering the Blood Demon¡¯s arm, following through with the broken bones slamming onto its chest. The huge body of the Blood Demon couldn¡¯t stand upright, stumbling backwards as it spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    The injuries worsened.


    ¡°Die!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice cold as he thrust his Long Spear straight into its head, seeking to completely kill it.


    Just at that moment.


    ¡°Stop!¡± A voice of shock and anger rose.


    Immediately, large quantities of blood mist surged in the heavens and the Earth, coalescing into a vast face in the void. The terrifying visage, overlooking Li Yuan, yelled urgently: ¡°Stop, lad! I consider you to have passed the Blood Den trial! No need for more Slaughter, it¡¯s no good for you either.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were ice cold, as his gaze swept across: ¡°[The target¡¯s Life Level is 19.9]¡±


    Foolish tricks!


    Calling to stop now? What were you doing earlier!


    ¡°Scram!¡±


    Li Yuan uttered coldly, and instantly a wave of invisible air swept over, shredding the large face cleanly.


    If it were any other Flying Heaven Level or even Semi-Divine, they would be frightened by the intangible pressure the face exerted.


    But Li Yuan, with his Divine Palace Exploration, least fears those who put on airs.


    So far, Li Yuan had not encountered anyone who could evade Divine Palace Exploration.


    Li Yuan saw through it, the schemer behind the scenes was at their wit¡¯s end, only able to spew threats.


    Moreover, the unwillingness to sacrifice even a Semi-Divine Peak ferocious beast showed that the opponent¡¯s power was far less than he had imagined.


    ¡°Swoosh swoosh swoosh!¡±


    Like a flowing wave of Spear Light, the Blood Demon was instantly overwhelmed and utterly exterminated.


    ¡°[You have slain a Fourth Rank creature, obtained Spirituality Nourishment]¡± Another Divine Palace notification.


    The earlier slaying of the Blood Demon and Semi-Divine Level beasts had similar notifications.


    ¡°Having already offended, there is no need to show mercy.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately turned around, like a bolt of lightning, chasing after those Semi-Divine Level beasts that had begun to frantically flee.


    Unstoppable!


    If the two Blood Demons were defeated in an instant, what of these Semi-Divine Level beasts?


    Simply a death delivery,


    The manipulator behind the scenes naturally wouldn¡¯t make pointless sacrifices anymore, having already ordered the beasts to flee for their lives.


    Save whoever could be saved.


    For the will behind the scenes, nurturing Semi-Divine Level beasts was also quite troublesome.


    ¡­


    After another round of rampant Slaughter, taking down all the Semi-Divine Level beasts within sight.


    Li Yuan retracted his form, no longer maintaining the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ state, and swiftly returned to the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    Seeing Li Yuan fly back into the Warship.


    Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and those several Armored Warriors, still in a state of utter shock.


    My God!


    What had they witnessed? Two Blood Demons, commanding over three hundred Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts ¨C an immensely terrifying force ¨C yet casually swept away by Li Yuan in a remarkably short time.


    Such dreadful power.


    ¡°Amazing, Lord Xu Yuan, truly amazing.¡± Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, looking at Li Yuan with eyes full of adoration: ¡°A Flying Heaven Level, killing a Semi-Divine Peak Blood Demon?¡±

 Chapter 764 764 403 Heavenly Divine Relic_4

    ?Chapter 764: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relic_4 Chapter 764: Chapter 403: Heavenly Divine Relic_4 ¡°You are definitely the strongest Flying Heaven Level I have ever seen, even the strongest Flying Heaven Realm in the history of Abyss Country cannot compare to you.¡±


    ¡°Even in the Starry Sky Ancient City, a genius like you would definitely be at the most core layer.¡±


    ¡°If you were in some Divine Kingdoms, or hidden great sects, you would undoubtedly be the number one of the younger generation.¡± Xu Guo went on to say.


    Obviously, as a protective guard of the Royal Family and previously having the qualifications to become Semi-Divine, he had a solid foundation and vision.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Core of the Starry Sky Ancient City?


    According to Qiu Bingzun, within the Divine Realm, due to the issue of cultivation time, his strength still wasn¡¯t considered top-tier for the Flying Heaven Level; some of the most terrifying geniuses at the Flying Heaven Level are able to have Eighth Stage Law Comprehension.


    ...


    But if we¡¯re talking about potential, even in the Wandao Divine Court and Chaos Divine Court of the Divine Realm, I would probably still be at the core.


    On the Jue Xing Continent?


    Li Yuan suspected that in the billions of years on the Jue Xing Continent, there have been only a few instances of someone with Second Rank Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Brother Xu, you¡­ you¡¯ve saved us again.¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s little face blushed red with excitement and joy.


    Just now, she thought she was definitely going to die.


    Unexpectedly, she lived on, filling her heart with gratitude.


    ¡°This time, it seems I¡¯ve involved you all.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°I must be targeted by someone behind the scenes.¡±


    ¡°Behind the scenes?¡±


    ¡°Is it that huge face from before?¡± Jiang Xuan pressed.


    They had just been on the warship and saw that terrifying large face, with oppressive presence even stronger than that of a Blood Demon, yet Li Yuan blew it away in a single breath.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Then shall we leave this place? Might it be safer to go to the Outer Realm?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°As long as we don¡¯t leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den, that person behind the scenes can pinpoint our location.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, ¡°Going to other places wouldn¡¯t make much difference.¡±


    ¡°What should we do then?¡± Jiang Xuan was quite worried.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll stay right here.¡± Li Yuan said calmly with a hint of chill in his eyes, ¡°I want to see just how much power that person behind the scenes can mobilize to try to kill me.¡±


    Li Yuan had thought about making his way to the forbidden land but immediately dismissed the idea.


    Within the forbidden land, there might be deadly formations, and once trapped, that would be troublesome.


    Better to just stay put.


    Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo were shocked to hear this but after calming down, they also realized that what Li Yuan said made sense.


    Waiting here might well be the right thing to do.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan.¡± Li Yuan changed the topic, ¡°The one targeted by the person behind the scenes should be me, they may strike again, and if you continue to follow me, life and death are uncertain, but if you leave¡­ maybe you won¡¯t be besieged.¡±


    ¡°Leave?¡± Jiang Xuan was stunned, not expecting Li Yuan to suddenly bring this up.


    ¡°Lord Xu Yuan.¡± Beside them, Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I believe that person behind the scenes will hold a grudge.¡±


    ¡°Staying with you may offer us a greater chance of survival¡­ If we leave on our own, just encountering a single Blood Demon would likely mean death.¡±


    ¡°Our deaths are of no importance, but the Princess, she¡­¡± Xu Guo earnestly said, ¡°We hope Lord Xu Yuan will allow it.¡±


    Li Yuan looked at Jiang Xuan.


    Indeed!


    No one knows what the person behind the scenes is thinking. Once Jiang Xuan leaves his side, her life and death would be entirely up to luck.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°If you choose to stay, then stay. But let¡¯s have no regrets.¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Right, Lord Li Yuan,¡± Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I have a request. Could you allow His Highness to cut off the heads of those Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts as proof of completing the trial tasks?¡±


    ¡°With so many heads of Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts, His Highness would undoubtedly rank first in the trials if he could get out,¡± Xu Guo seriously said.


    Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment; she didn¡¯t expect that, even at this time, Uncle Guo was still thinking about her trial tasks.


    ¡°Suit yourself,¡± Li Yuan said, indifferent to the corpses of the beasts.


    Swoosh! Li Yuan took a step forward and arrived at the front cabin of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle.


    He sat down cross-legged and began to recover his Origin Power.


    The recent battle had consumed a great deal of Origin Power due to the casting of several Star Techniques.


    ¡­


    Inside the forbidden ground of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°Scum! I clearly told him to stop, but he still killed my children! Ah!!¡± A thought born from deep within the earth roared in anger, ¡°Blood Demon children, I can only nurture nineteen at the same time, and once one dies, it takes more than a decade to breed another.¡±


    He was filled with rage and yet felt powerless. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He was merely a thought, seemingly able to sense various areas of the Abyss Demon Blood Den through the Formation, but the power he could wield was limited to the numerous Ferocious Beasts he had nurtured.


    And the power Li Yuan had revealed had surpassed his suppression limit.


    ¡°Such a formidable Flying Heaven Level entity is indeed rare.¡±


    ¡°The master has traveled through many countries, even within the Starry Sky Ancient City, and has never seen such, I presume,¡± said the thought in the depths of the forbidden area: ¡°But don¡¯t worry, this Flying Heaven Level entity probably won¡¯t live for long.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± the thought from deep within the earth questioned in confusion.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    ¡°Have you forgotten the true nature of the Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡± the thought in the depths of the forbidden area chuckled, ¡°Before the master, the Abyss Demon Blood Den has always been¡­ The master merely controlled the surface Formation and handed over the control of the Formation to us.¡±


    ¡°The true core of the Abyss Demon Blood Den has always been independent.¡±


    ¡°According to the master¡¯s will¡­ once we encounter an extraordinary Flying Heaven Realm or Demigod, there¡¯s no need for us to act, they will naturally be dealt with,¡± said the thought in the depths.


    ¡°The true core of the Blood Den?¡± The thought from deep within the earth seemed to recall something, ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°I must kill this scum to avenge my children.¡±


    ¡­


    In that valley that had experienced a great battle, invisible forces from the Formation were restoring the previously shattered mountains and earth.


    And those Semi Divine Level Ferocious Beasts and Blood Demons that had died in battle, even if their heads were cut off, their remaining bodies were gradually merging into the earth.


    This earth seemed like a gluttonous Taotie, quickly devouring and absorbing the remains of the deceased.


    ¡°How strange.¡±


    ¡°No wonder we rarely see the corpses of Ferocious Beasts and Trialists.¡±


    ¡°What exactly is this Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡± Li Yuan observed the outside world while recovering Origin Power inside the Warship.


    Seeing this scene, his heart grew increasingly wary.


    The only thing that eased his tension was that after several hours, no more Ferocious Beasts approached.


    It seemed that the hidden manipulator had given up.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Li Yuan, be careful, it¡¯s the power of space, quickly enter the Ancient Divine Palace!¡± Gu You¡¯s voice erupted in alarm and anger.


    Before Li Yuan could even react.


    A giant invisible space rift appeared noiselessly above the thirty-meter-long Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, as if a giant invisible maw had swallowed the shuttle in an instant.


    Following that, the space rift closed, and the void returned to normal.


    As if the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle had never been there.


    As if the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle had never been there.

 Chapter 765 765 404 Void Corridor The Truth

    ?Chapter 765: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth Chapter 765: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth Splash~


    When Li Yuan heard Sister Gu You¡¯s warning, his instinct was to return to the Ancient Divine Palace to increase his chances of survival.


    A Space Rift? It is known that space, as the foundation of all spirits, is extremely stable; even the battles of Pseudo-God Peak beings usually cause only ripples in space.


    True Gods, even when going all out, may cause cracks in space, but under the self-repairing actions of the heavens and earth, these cracks would quickly mend.


    Thus, any Space Rift represents extreme danger.


    ¡°I can¡¯t move anymore; it¡¯s too late.¡± But Li Yuan immediately realized it was too late, the invisible space-binding powers had completely sealed off this void around him.


    Even the space inside the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was completely suppressed.


    ¡°Is this the method of the Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡±


    ...


    ¡°Or is it an action from someone behind the scenes? Could the person behind the scenes be a True God level being?¡± Numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    If it were just a Pseudo-God level presence, though it could annihilate Li Yuan in an instant, it wouldn¡¯t leave him completely powerless.


    ¡°Such mighty power.¡±


    ¡°If they wanted to kill me, it would be easy; they wouldn¡¯t need to create a Space Rift, there must be a reason.¡± Li Yuan held an endless desire in his heart: ¡°I must survive, I must!!¡±


    Entering the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, arriving at this mysterious Jue Xing Continent, there were still many things he hadn¡¯t accomplished.


    ¡­


    It seemed like a moment, Li Yuan felt a slight tremble in the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle, and then it stabilized.


    But Li Yuan, who had some understanding of the Mysteries of Space, could sense that he had likely shifted through space.


    At this moment.


    The space within the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was no longer suppressed, but Li Yuan was no longer in a hurry to enter the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Is it a cave?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense spread out; through the warship, he could sense that the outside appeared empty, probably a vast open space, quickly reaching the limits of his Divine Sense.


    ¡°This place is the intersection of several paths; it should be a Transmission Array.¡± Sister Gu You transmitted her voice.


    A Transmission Array? Li Yuan was secretly alarmed.


    Within the Divine Realm, different Star Domains were extremely far apart; even for a Heavenly Divine, flying across the void was not feasible, hence the need for Transmission Arrays.


    Like the wormholes and Star Gates in space, they are naturally created by the movements of the heavens and earth, fundamentally similar to Transmission Arrays.


    However, Transmission Arrays are man-made.


    They involve the use of Space Law, usually only something Heavenly Divines can achieve¡­ Like the Starry Sky Divine Court spread throughout the Divine Realm, those Starry Sky Ancient Cities are essentially stable and massive ¡®Starry Sky Transmission Arrays¡¯, allowing the powerful beings of the Starry Sky Divine Court to quickly reach every Territory Starry Sky.


    Here, there¡¯s actually a Transmission Array?


    Could it be, the person behind the Abyss Demon Blood Den is a Heavenly Divine?


    ¡°Sister, is it safe?¡± Li Yuan transmitted his voice.


    ¡°It should be safe.¡± Sister Gu You transmitted back: ¡°I¡¯ve sensed all around, didn¡¯t detect any danger, you can try driving the warship.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A rapidly transmitted map of the terrain entered Li Yuan¡¯s mind from Sister Gu You¡­ The location of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle was akin to the center of a huge spherical hall about ten kilometers in diameter.


    This was also the reason Li Yuan couldn¡¯t detect the boundaries at first.


    Because the hall was just too large.


    On the eight walls of the hall, countless Secret Runes seemed to be engraved, combining mysterious fluctuations together.


    ¡°No wonder Sister Gu You referred to it as a Transmission Array,¡± Li Yuan thought silently. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s quite similar to the information given by Elder Qiu.¡±


    In every direction of the spherical hall, there were passageways, a total of sixty-four passageways, each with a height and width exceeding one hundred meters, extending in various directions¡­ even Sister Gu You, operating the Ancient Divine Palace, couldn¡¯t probe the ends of the passageways.


    ¡°This hall has nothing unusual.¡±


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and he immediately drove the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle randomly towards one of the passageways.


    Just arriving at the edge of the passageway.


    ¡°Shh~¡± The entire warship seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, unable to push through anymore, even causing the warship to tremble slightly.


    ¡°How are we doing, Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but speak.


    ¡°Lord Xu Yuan.¡± Xu Guo and the several Armored Warriors also appeared quite nervous.


    They didn¡¯t have Li Yuan¡¯s sharp senses, but the sudden changes just now made them realize they were in trouble.


    ¡°This is the map, everyone take a good look.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept by, and six invisible soul fluctuations had already flown out, entering the minds of Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the others.

    ¡°Where is this?¡± Xu Guo and the several Armored Warriors were all surprised.


    ¡°The Royal Family¡¯s intelligence didn¡¯t mention that the Abyss Demon Blood Den had such a place.¡± Jiang Xuan was equally shocked.


    ¡°The warship can¡¯t fly into the passageway.¡± Li Yuan spoke calmly: ¡°If we don¡¯t want to be trapped to death here, we¡¯ll have to leave the warship and try.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The cabin door opened, and Li Yuan¡¯s figure swiftly flew out of the warship, the outside world was pitch dark, not a sliver of light to be seen.


    But for those in the Flying Heaven Realm and Semi Divine Realm, compared to eyes, Divine Sense was actually more detailed.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The outer layer of the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle suddenly burst into brilliant light, emitting dazzling rays, these lights were enough for Li Yuan and the others to see the distant scene.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo also followed flying out, simultaneously looking towards the passageway that was tens of meters away.


    ¡°Can¡¯t the warship enter this passageway?¡± Xu Guo asked puzzledly: ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be any corpses here, are we the first group of Trialists to arrive here?¡±


    Everyone looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°I need you to try.¡± Li Yuan spoke in a low voice: ¡°We need someone to fly into the passageway first.¡±


    Xu Guo and Jiang Xuan looked at each other.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Xu Guo said, without any hesitation he turned into a streak of light and rushed into the dim passageway.

    ?Chapter 766: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_2 Chapter 766: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_2 Not hindered in the slightest.


    And the moment he stepped into the range of this passage.


    ¡°Snap~snap~snap~snap~¡± It was as if a hidden mechanism was triggered, the whole passage suddenly lit up, the surface of the passage looked like it was cast from metal, revealing layers of light.


    As if it were daytime.


    ¡°Your Highness, Lord Xu Yuan, I¡¯ve received a message,¡± Xu Guo exclaimed in shock: ¡°A voice told me that I must continue down the passage if I hope to survive¡­ otherwise, I will die.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone was alarmed.


    Li Yuan was very calm and directly said, ¡°Xu Guo, try and see if you can fly back.¡±


    ...


    ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Guo moved and tried to exit the passage, but as he was about to fly out, he seemed to hit an invisible barrier and was forced to stop.


    ¡°I can¡¯t fly out,¡± Xu Guo couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°You, try to see if you can continue entering this passage,¡± Li Yuan suddenly instructed an Armored Warrior.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The Armored Warrior immediately flew out, but before approaching the passage, he was stopped by an invisible barrier and could not continue forward.


    By this time.


    It was clear to everyone that these passages were likely only allowing one person to enter.


    And the reason the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle couldn¡¯t enter was probably because it was detected to have more than one person inside.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, what do you think?¡± Li Yuan looked over to the young girl.


    ¡°We can only push through, Big Brother Xu,¡± Jiang Xuan said firmly, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that, in the early days, the Abyss Demon Blood Den didn¡¯t have so many Ferocious Beasts, but had a different form of trial. It¡¯s just that afterwards there was a major upheaval¡­ Perhaps what we are facing now is the true nature of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan pondered. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s push through.¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle quickly shrank and was swiftly stored inside Li Yuan¡¯s Storage Treasure.


    ¡°Xu Guo, these passages should all be the same. Just follow the guidance and continue,¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Xu Guo nodded, and couldn¡¯t help looking towards Jiang Xuan: ¡°Your Highness, please be careful and stay safe.¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± Jiang Xuan nodded emphatically, unable to resist saying, ¡°Uncle Guo, you also be careful and make sure you survive.¡±


    ¡°Haha.¡±


    ¡°The Blood Demon didn¡¯t kill me, I, Xu Guo, must survive to go back and boast to the others,¡± Xu Guo said with a laugh.


    Immediately, Xu Guo turned into a streak of light, disappearing at the end of the passage.


    In reality, everyone was feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. If this truly was the original form of the Abyss Demon Blood Den, the fact that no information had leaked out over such a long time was already telling.


    The current lack of danger doesn¡¯t mean there won¡¯t be danger coming up.


    ¡­


    ¡°Big Brother Xu.¡±


    ¡°Once we separate here, we don¡¯t know if we will be able to see each other again.¡± Jiang Xuan looked at Li Yuan and bowed slightly: ¡°If we all manage to survive and get out¡­ I hope that Big Brother Xu will make a trip to Yuan Country Capital. I would like to thank Big Brother Xu in person.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Time passed, and Jiang Xuan and several of her Armored Warriors each chose a passage to enter.


    The process was the same as with Xu Guo at the start; once they entered, they received a message, couldn¡¯t return, and the others couldn¡¯t enter the same passage.


    In the end, only Li Yuan was left in the large spherical hall.


    ¡°Sis, which passage should I take?¡± Li Yuan transmitted his voice, although he knew a fair amount of information, he indeed had less actual experience.


    ¡°Don¡¯t take any of them.¡±


    ¡°Wait!¡± Gu You transmitted her voice.


    Li Yuan was slightly startled, wait? But he obediently did as told, patiently waiting in the void.


    Time passed.


    This wait lasted for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly, the passages that the several Armored Warriors had entered, originally bright, abruptly dimmed down, becoming like the other passages.


    Only those of Gu You and Xu Guo remained bright.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart surged with alertness.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, those Armored Warriors probably all died,¡± Gu You transmitted.


    ¡°Sis, why didn¡¯t you tell me this from the very beginning?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help saying.


    ¡°I was only guessing,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°But to verify whether these passages are safe or whether there¡¯s a risk to life, someone has to try them¡­ These people, they were all exploring the way for you.¡±


    ¡°I know your nature.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why, I didn¡¯t tell you in advance,¡± Gu You said, ¡°Keep waiting now, to see if Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo will die.¡±


    Li Yuan never imagined, that in an intangible way, Gu You had already treated Jiang Xuan and the others as pawns.


    Time passed, Li Yuan stood quietly in the void.


    A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, one hour¡­ Suddenly, the passage Xu Guo entered also dimmed down.


    Did Xu Guo die? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.


    This is life and death exploration, unpredictable and dangerous, a slight misstep could be the end.


    ¡°They chose the passages randomly, with no apparent pattern,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°Flying Heaven Level will die, Semi Divine Level will also die¡­ In terms of strength, Xu Guo is stronger than Jiang Xuan, but it¡¯s Jiang Xuan who has survived until the end.¡±


    ¡°Thus, it can be inferred that there are dangers in the passage, but the difficulties faced by the trialists are not the same¨Cit might be based on realm, or perhaps judged by age¡­ In any case, your chances of survival should be quite high,¡± Gu You said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, also having no choice but to admire Gu You¡¯s judgement.


    Another two hours passed.


    The passage Jiang Xuan was in remained lit!


    ¡°Start making your way through,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°Before doing so, you can try to enter the Ancient Divine Palace and see if you can sneak into the passage while inside it.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thought from Li Yuan, he entered the Ancient Divine Palace. Then, the Ancient Divine Palace, like a speck of Dust, began slowly flying towards one of the passages¡­ its speed was very slow.


    Sss~ Just as the Ancient Divine Palace approached, it encountered an invisible force and was unable to enter.


    ¡°Can¡¯t do it?¡± Li Yuan shook his head and with a thought, he teleported out of the Ancient Divine Palace.

 Chapter 767 767 404 Void Corridor The Truth_3

    ?Chapter 767: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_3 Chapter 767: Chapter 404: Void Corridor! The Truth_3 Immediately.


    Li Yuan tried to ride the Nebula Extreme Sky Shuttle again, but still couldn¡¯t enter this pathway.


    ¡°Can only hide inside a Warship or Cave Heaven Treasure?¡± Li Yuan thought, and directly leapt into it.


    As soon as he stepped in.


    Whoosh~ the entire corridor suddenly lit up, followed by an invisible fluctuation transmitted into Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Trialists, move straight ahead, overcome obstructions at maximum speed, retreating into warship-like treasures is not allowed, using Law Treasures is not allowed, using puppets is not allowed, rely solely on your own strength¡­ Those who fail die! Those who exceed time die! Those who defy die!¡±


    A simple message


    Yet incredibly brutal.


    The message indicates one thing¡ªdeath!


    ...


    ¡°Not allowed to use Law Treasures? Death if time exceeded, and yet they don¡¯t specify how much time.¡± Li Yuan was secretly alarmed.


    But considering Xu Guo and several Armored Warriors¡¯ previous experiences, Li Yuan dared not be careless.


    Boom! Transforming into a streak of light, he dashed at full speed towards the depths of the corridor.


    This serpentine and twisted corridor, its depth unknown for many kilometers.


    Li Yuan also tried along the way, discovering that even unleashing the Dark Star Divine Spear with his own strength left not the slightest mark on the walls of the corridor¡­ This place was definitely left behind by a mighty superior being.


    Deep in the corridor, large amounts of silver liquid started emerging from both sides, which then quickly solidified, forming humanoid figures.


    Each one armed with a Combat Saber, their faces covered by Combat Armor, looking like soldiers.


    In the blink of an eye.


    The corridor was densely packed with over a hundred Silver Garment Warriors, each one emanating an extraordinary aura.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan¡¯s surface radiated an earthy yellow glow as he quickly approached, spotting the Silver Garment Warriors on the ground of the corridor from afar.


    At that moment. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Whish! Whish! Whish! Whish! Whish! The calmly standing over three hundred silver figures suddenly burst into action, overwhelmingly rushing towards Li Yuan.


    Each emitting a terrifying presence.


    ¡°All of them 35? They aren¡¯t alive, more like liquid robots.¡± Li Yuan thought silently: ¡°No wonder those Flying Heaven Armored Warriors died¡­ Jiang Xuan must have struggled hard to survive.¡±


    Through the journey, Li Yuan had realized Jiang Xuan was actually quite strong; his Law Comprehension had reached Perfection of the Seventh Stage, plus his weapons and armor were all at Semi Divine Level, overall a much stronger force than Duanmu Hong.


    Facing a hundred warriors at the Flying Heaven Peak level, even if one could survive, it definitely would take a lot of time.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Li Yuan thought, and his body instantly enlarged to ten meters tall, followed by the overwhelming arrival of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, as nine Yellow Dragons roared towards them.


    In an encounter!


    Bang! Bang! Bang! In this narrow corridor, it was like a violent flood, over a hundred Silver Garment Warriors were instantly shattered and ground by the nine Yellow Dragons, turning into numerous silver fragments, which then fell to the ground.


    Li Yuan had disappeared at the end of the corridor.


    The bulk of silver fragments then liquified again, merging back into the corridor¡¯s ground.


    ¡°Looks like.¡±


    ¡°Same as Sister Gu You predicted, these corridor¡¯s difficulties are at least related to the Life Level.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, his confidence in surviving surged.


    ¡­This corridor seemed endless.


    Li Yuan flew thousands of kilometers in one breath, encountering numerous obstructions from Silver Garment and Golden Garment Warriors along the way.


    The difficulty got higher, but for Li Yuan, it was almost no different from having no difficulty.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whizz~¡± Several ghostly winds appeared in the corridor, being formless, even with Li Yuan¡¯s perception of space, he failed to detect them and was instantly sliced across his body.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan felt his body shiver.


    This shadowy wind, even with Li Yuan maintaining his All Things Divine Body, could not breach the defense of the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor.


    However.


    The material attack of this shadowy wind was superficial, and accompanied by the shiver of his body, another soul fluctuation silently invaded Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, attempting to shake his soul.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    In Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, a massive blue Lotus Platform existed, as this soul fluctuation approached, the platform suddenly bloomed layer by layer, its lotus leaves intertwining like giant sickles, instantly shredding the attacking soul.


    Pseudo-God Level Soul Secret Treasure¡ªThousand Heart Lotus Platform!


    This Soul Secret Treasure was rarely used by Li Yuan, it was passively defensive, after all, with Li Yuan¡¯s strong Soul Will, few enemies could shake it.


    But once used, it was enough to prove the dangerous situation!


    ¡°What kind of soul attack is this?¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked, becoming ever more vigilant: ¡°Where does this corridor actually lead?¡±


    So far, it remains a mystery.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Sister, we seem to be nearing the end.¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly sounded: ¡°But there seems to be an invisible force obstructing that side, I can¡¯t inquire further, be extremely careful.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Only ten-odd seconds later, Li Yuan saw a screen of light at the far end of the corridor, vaguely seeing another hall outside, without much hesitation, he plunged straight into it.


    Everything unfolded before his eyes.


    This was a rather majestic hall, apart from the entrance where Li Yuan entered, there was another corridor at the other end of the hall.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, as he saw on the ground, there lay six skeletal remains.


    These six bodies, some bones are merely left with ashes, some still have relatively intact skeletons.


    Clearly, they died at different times.


    Five of the bodies had only a single layer of clothing, with no weapon treasures¡­ Only the centrally located, more intact skeletal remains seated in lotus position, dressed in Combat Armor, weapons, and so on.


    ¡°Looks like!¡±


    ¡°The treasures left by the previous five skeletons have all been taken.¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°To be able to get through the corridor ahead, in the Flying Heaven Realm, their strength must be incredibly powerful.¡±

    ¡°Unfortunately, they still perished here.¡±


    This scene made Li Yuan increasingly cautious.


    Sigh! Li Yuan walked straight forward.


    At the thought, all the treasures left behind by the last skeleton were collected by Li Yuan.


    But like his predecessors, Li Yuan did not touch the inner layer of the armor, leaving behind a final shred of dignity.


    ¡°Are there any treasures?¡± Li Yuan quickly checked: ¡°There are indeed quite a number of treasures!¡±


    Just the Semi Divine Level weapons and Combat Armor, Li Yuan found a great lot, exceeding a hundred. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ...


    There were other treasures as well, such as Formations, Elixirs, and the like.


    ¡°Normally, one wouldn¡¯t keep so many treasures, they would definitely exchange them for other treasures.¡±


    ¡°It looks like he collected some of the treasures from his predecessors,¡± Li Yuan mused internally. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, some of the treasures have already decayed.¡±


    Weapons, after all, are not indestructible.


    Even Divine Artifacts, over the long stretch of time, will gradually decay¡­ within the Storage Magical Treasure, time does not stand still, and everything will slowly deteriorate.


    Of course, the many treasures left by the deceased were not highly decayed, signifying that not too much time had passed.


    ¡°They must have perished between five thousand to ten thousand years ago,¡± Gu You communicated, making a judgment.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, these weapons and treasures, if he could make it out alive, could also be resold.


    He collected them all.


    ¡°Why did they die here?¡±


    Merely ten or so seconds later, Li Yuan saw a light screen at the distant end of the corridor, vaguely revealing another hall. Without much hesitation, Li Yuan plunged straight in.


    All the scenery was unveiled in front of him.


    This was a rather majestic hall, aside from the corridor through which Li Yuan entered, there was another corridor on the opposite end of the hall.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted, noticing six skeletal corpses on the ground.


    Six corpses, some bones were left only as ashes, while some still had relatively complete skeletons.


    Clearly, they did not all die at the same time.


    Among the five corpses, all were clothed in just one layer, without any Weapon Treasures¡­ Only the central corpse sitting cross-legged had Combat Armor, weapons, and so on.


    ¡°It looks like!¡±


    ¡°The treasures left by the previous five corpses have already been taken by others,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Anyone who could break through the previous corridor must be extremely powerful in the Flying Heaven Realm.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, they still died here.¡±


    This scene made Li Yuan increasingly cautious.


    Sigh! Li Yuan walked straight forward.


    At the thought, all the treasures left behind by the last skeleton were collected by Li Yuan.

 Chapter 769 769 405 Battle of the Ancestral Realm

    ?Chapter 769: Chapter 405: Battle of the Ancestral Realm Chapter 769: Chapter 405: Battle of the Ancestral Realm Li Yuan felt helpless.


    This Abyss Demon Blood Den actually turned out to be a legacy land left by a Heavenly Divine. How rare is that? Had he arrived too late?


    It seems like it¡¯s destiny.


    Of course, Li Yuan understood that even in the Divine Realm where Divines abound, if a legacy left by a Heavenly Divine were made known, it would certainly attract numerous Divines to fight for it.


    For instance, why does the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain attract so many Pseudo-Gods and True Gods from various Divine Realms? Isn¡¯t it because those Divines believe there might be treasures at the level of a Heavenly Divine?


    Especially in the Jue Xing Continent where Heavenly Divines are even rarer?


    Theoretically speaking, it has been over ten thousand years since this Heavenly Divine chose an inheritor for this legacy land, which is quite slow.


    ...


    ¡°Li Yuan, don¡¯t be disheartened,¡± Gu You communicated telepathically. ¡°In the face of life-and-death struggles, how can everything go as wished? Many powerful beings, if unlucky, may face numerous life-threatening crises without gaining any treasures, instead, they might just acquire some life-saving items.¡±


    ¡°At least, you have survived,¡± Gu You communicated again.


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Although it made sense, he couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed.


    After all, the power of a Heavenly Divine is far superior to that of a True God.


    If he could obtain a legacy from a Heavenly Divine, the gains would undoubtedly be much greater than what Ancient Flame True God and Qiu Bingzun had given him. It would not have been in vain to come to the Jue Xing Continent.


    But an opportunity, once missed, is gone.


    Although the Jue Xing Continent is vast, known as the land of three thousand Divine Kingdoms, Li Yuan didn¡¯t believe it could produce many Heavenly Divines¡­ Perhaps the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities could have a Heavenly Divine stationed in each generation.


    But would the Heavenly Divine of a Starry Sky Ancient City leave their legacy outside?


    Just like himself, if he were to leave a legacy, he would definitely keep it within the Seven Star Civilization.


    ¡°You seem very disappointed?¡± the robed elder said with a chuckle.


    ¡°If I said I¡¯m not disappointed, that would definitely be lying to you, senior,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°But what I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my destiny¡­ Since it¡¯s destined not to be mine, there¡¯s no need to dwell on it any further.¡±


    ¡°Good mindset,¡± the robed elder nodded. ¡°Even though the masters precious treasures have all been taken by the inheritor.¡±


    ¡°However, each legacy land offers not just one Direct Disciple position but also two Inner Sect Disciple positions,¡± the robed elder continued.


    ¡°Inner Sect Disciple?¡± The peace in Li Yuan¡¯s heart was immediately disrupted, as a spark of interest lit up.


    Being an Inner Sect Disciple of a Heavenly Divine is great! Generally speaking, they would still receive guidance from the Heavenly Divine, and get some gifts, though not as much as the Direct Disciples.


    Moreover, the status of an Inner Sect Disciple is usually much higher than that of a True God¡¯s Direct Disciple.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the positions for Inner Sect Disciples have already been filled,¡± the robed elder spread his hands. ¡°They were selected even before the Direct Disciples, as the requirements are somewhat lower.¡±


    Li Yuan felt as if he could spit blood in frustration.


    You¡¯re kidding me!


    Seeing the pained expression on Li Yuan¡¯s face, the robed elder finally laughed out loud: ¡°Alright, young one, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. Both the Direct Disciple and Inner Sect Disciple positions are indeed no longer available¡­ but there are still quite a few spots for Registered Disciples.¡±


    ¡°Would you be interested?¡± the robed elder asked.


    ¡°Registered Disciple?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Just by the number, you can tell the difference. One legacy site selects a hundred¡­ ten legacy sites mean selecting a thousand Registered Disciples?


    Such a high number.


    Even as a Registered Disciple of a Heavenly Divine, the status and treasures received wouldn¡¯t compare to a True God¡¯s Direct Disciple¡­ but having something is better than having nothing.


    ¡°Senior, are there any other trials required?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°No need,¡± the robed elder shook his head. ¡°If you were to be a Direct Disciple, you would have some trials to complete, but just for a Registered Disciple¡­ with your talent and powers, no further tests are necessary.¡±


    ¡°If I succeed, what must I do and what will I obtain?¡± Li Yuan asked.


    Gains often require effort.


    This world operates on equivalence, and this mysterious Heavenly Divine, expending energy to set up ten legacy sites, likely has a motive.


    ¡°If you were to become a Direct Disciple, the requirements would be very strict,¡± the robed elder laughed. ¡°But for a Registered Disciple¡­ there¡¯s only one requirement.¡±


    ¡°If you become a Heavenly Divine or Semi-Divine and participate in the Ancestral Realm War and obtain an ¡®Ancestral Realm Order¡¯, you must declare yourself as a Registered Disciple of the master,¡± the robed elder said smilingly.


    A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Ancestral Realm Order? He actually heard about the ¡®Ancestral Realm Order¡¯ from the robed elder?


    You should know, the ¡®Eternal Hall mission¡¯ Li Yuan received actually had two core objectives.


    One, become a Third Rank Nine Star Pulse.


    Two, obtain the Ancestral Realm Order.


    Once both are accomplished, that would mean completing the ultimate Purple Garment mission, signaling the end of this trip to the Jue Xing Continent.


    But having been here for so many days, Li Yuan thought he still needed to go to some core Divine Kingdom areas to figure out how to get the Ancestral Realm Order.


    Unexpectedly.


    Here, he stumbled upon it.


    ¡°Senior, what is this Ancestral Realm Order? How can it be obtained?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± The robed elder¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: ¡°With your strength, you should at least have sensed the Seven Star Veins¡­ Flying Heaven Seven Star Veins. Given that a new Ancestral Realm War is approaching, core powers should have mentioned it to you.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, I do not know.¡± Li Yuan shook his head, only able to feign ignorance.


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°After all, you are merely at the Flying Heaven Realm, and your cultivation time is too short. Even if you rapidly ascend to Semi-Divine, participating in the Ancestral Realm Battle would still make it hard to seize the Ancestral Realm Order.¡± The robed elder said: ¡°Perhaps your elders never mentioned this to you.¡±


    ¡°Let me explain it to you.¡±


    ¡°These secrets were known to the master after ascending to Heavenly God¡­ Although they¡¯re highly confidential, the master never said they couldn¡¯t be disclosed.¡± The robed elder said nonchalantly.


    Li Yuan was rendered speechless.


    He also discerned that the black-robed elder before him was probably not a being of Life, but he had a rather distinctive personality.


    ¡°Legend has it that beyond our heaven and earth, there exists a much vaster and more expansive world, which can be referred to as the Divine Realm.¡± The black-robed elder said: ¡°Our Jue Xing Continent was once part of the Divine Realm, but for some unknown reasons, it detached from the Divine Realm.¡±


    The Jue Xing Continent was part of the Divine Realm? Li Yuan was slightly startled internally.


    This was absolutely shocking news.


    Suddenly, Li Yuan understood why there was a ¡®Starry Sky Ancient City¡¯ on the Jue Xing Continent¡ªit also explained why neither Gu You nor Qiu Bingzun¡¯s archives had records of it.


    ¡°However, according to the master, we are not completely isolated from the Divine Realm.¡± The robed elder said.


    ¡°Legend has it that the Ancestral Realm is the passage.¡±


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm, it¡¯s said that this realm was created by the ¡®Ancestral Realm Founder,¡¯ a magnificent being of our world, situated in a mysterious place and also contains the ultimate secrets of the Jue Xing Continent¡­ These are all legends, and I can¡¯t guarantee their truth.¡± The robed elder shrugged: ¡°Just consider it a story for entertainment.¡±


    Li Yuan took note silently.


    The Ancestral Realm Founder? By the name alone, he sounds extremely powerful!


    ¡°Now, what I¡¯m about to say is true.¡±


    ¡°The so-called Ancestral Realm Battle, on the surface, is a grand event held jointly by the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, but in reality, it is a set of rules laid down by the founder of the Ancestral Realm¡­ Conducted every five hundred years, only Semi-Divine strong beings who pass through the ¡®Starry Sky Nine Passes¡¯ can participate in the battle.¡±


    ¡°Because it concerns the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded automatically.


    It seems that the Ancestral Realm Battle is essentially a ¡®Semi-Divine Genius Battle¡¯, just held in the Ancestral Realm, hence named the Ancestral Realm Battle.


    Selecting semi-divine geniuses?


    As far as Li Yuan knew, such genius clashes were also frequently held in the Divine Realm¡ªvarious Divine Courts, and even many Heavenly Divines¡¯ vast territories¡­ all select geniuses to nurture talents.


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm Battle is a fight for the Ancestral Realm Order.¡± The robed elder smiled: ¡°In each Ancestral Realm Battle, no more than ten Ancestral Realm Orders appear, and any Semi-Divine strong being who secures an Ancestral Realm Order will receive a fortune bestowed by the Ancestral Realm Founder.¡±


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm Founder is a being superior to the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, even Gu Yun, the Heavenly Divine, is far inferior to him¡­ I heard from the master that in the vast Divine Realm, the Ancestral Realm Founder also stands at the pinnacle.¡±


    Li Yuan listened breathlessly.


    The pinnacle of the Divine Realm? S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A being surpassing Heavenly Divines?


    In the vast Divine Realm, each Heavenly Divine commands vast territories, considered peak powerhouses¡­ but leaders like those in various Divine Courts surpass the Heavenly Divines.


    ¡°Therefore, every time the Ancestral Realm Battle is held, the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms, and even a massive number of Life Planets from the space outside, top-tier semi-divine geniuses usually participate in the battle.¡± The robed elder remarked emotionally: ¡°Passing the Starry Sky Nine Passes, at least equals to the Semi-Divine Limit strength.¡±


    ¡°That is the baseline for participation.¡±


    ¡°If any weaker, daring to join the battle is simply seeking death.¡± The robed elder stated.


    ¡°Anyone who stands out in the Ancestral Realm Battle and obtains the Ancestral Realm Order¡­ is indeed a monstrous genius of the Jue Xing Continent, making a significant scene.¡± The robed elder said.


    ¡°When is the next Ancestral Realm Battle?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°Soon, in twelve years.¡± The robed elder said.


    At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood the difficulty of the Purple Garment mission.


    It must be noted that in places like Abyss Country, a single nation could match or even surpass the number of strong beings from his home Mortal Domain.


    In Abyss Country, there¡¯s a Semi-Divine as strong as a Pseudo-God named ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯, also of Seven Star Veins.


    On Jue Xing Continent, there are three thousand Divine Kingdoms!


    And there are also the powerful forces of the Great Sects.


    Not to mention the three high and mighty Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, let alone the countless powerful extraterrestrial beings¡­ How many mighty Semi-Divines could there be?


    Just by thinking about it, Li Yuan felt his scalp tingle!


    Even if a few Semi-Divines as powerful as Dongfang Alliance Leader emerged, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t be surprised.


    And for himself, to cut through this group of mighty Semi-Divines and enter the top ten?


    If he continued cultivating for thirty to fifty years, even without awakening the Nine Star Pulse, Li Yuan would have great confidence.


    But the problem is, there are only twelve years left.


    ¡°No wonder, the difficulty of this Ancestral Realm Order mission is even more exaggerated than a Third Rank Nine Star Pulse.¡± Li Yuan shook his head inwardly.


    ¡°Kid, stop thinking about it.¡± The robed elder chuckled: ¡°You are just at Flying Heaven Realm, twelve years is too short, your Law Comprehension simply can¡¯t compare to those monstrous Semi-Divines who have cultivated for hundreds of years.¡±


    ¡°You might as well wait for more than five hundred years, until the next next session.¡±


    ¡°By then, with your talent, you could probably easily obtain the Ancestral Realm Order.¡±


    ¡°Waiting for five hundred years at the Semi-Divine stage for the Ancestral Realm Order is not considered a delay; you might even awaken the Eight Star Veins.¡±

 Chapter 770 770 406 Mirror of Laws

    ?Chapter 770: Chapter 406: Mirror of Laws Chapter 770: Chapter 406: Mirror of Laws ¡°Awakening the Eight Star Veins, Li Yuan muttered to himself, having already achieved them.


    But he wasn¡¯t surprised that the black-robed elder was not accurate.


    Star Meridians are concealed, and it¡¯s extremely difficult to probe with external forces; judgments based on life breath are often imprecise.


    Especially after one becomes powerful, if a True God powerhouse were to inspect my body, they would certainly be able to tell, but just from appearances? Others are not like me, having the Mind Spirit Divine Palace as an inquiry method.


    ¡°Over five hundred years, that¡¯s too long. My own cultivation is only a matter of decades,¡± Li Yuan said with a shake of his head and a smile.


    Although said deliberately, it also reflected Li Yuan¡¯s inner thoughts.


    Over five hundred years? Li Yuan cannot wait that long.


    ...


    If he were to return after such a long time, perhaps the Seven Star Civilization would have undergone great changes, and many friends and relatives might have already passed away.


    ¡°Haha, no rush, you would hardly be able to catch up this time anyway,¡± the black-robed elder said with a laugh: ¡°Semi-Divine is the last realm before Ascending to God, and it is a crucial one¡­ Take your time to think, perhaps in a hundred years, you might change your mind.¡±


    ¡°Becoming a god a few hundred years earlier doesn¡¯t mean much.¡±


    ¡°And the Ancestral Realm Order is a rare opportunity for the powerhouses of Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    The black-robed elder thought Li Yuan was too young, merely at the Flying Heaven Level, and had not encountered some of the supreme powerhouses, so he had no clear understanding of the significance of the Ancestral Realm Order.


    He would come to understand in time.


    But what he didn¡¯t know was that if Li Yuan were a native being of Jue Xing Continent, perhaps he would be willing to wait, but he was just an outsider.


    At this moment.


    Li Yuan had already made up his mind: ¡°I must do everything in my power to figure out a way to join the battle in twelve years and strive for the Ancestral Realm War¡­ regardless of success or failure, I must give it my all.¡±


    No matter how difficult!


    Was it harder than initially awakening the Second Rank Eight Star Veins? Li Yuan¡¯s nature was to never admit defeat.


    Even if he fails, at least there would be no regrets.


    ¡­ ¡°Elder, why would there be such a requirement for becoming a Registered Disciple of an Ascended Heavenly God?¡± Li Yuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°The master loves reputation,¡± the black-robed elder chuckled: ¡°According to the master, the benefits you receive are proportional to the karma you create¡­ For Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples, the requirements are quite stringent.¡±


    ¡°For a Registered Disciple, there¡¯s no need for additional demands, after all, they receive very little¡­ If a Registered Disciple turns out to be a failure, so be it.¡±


    ¡°But if they become an extraordinary figure, the master also wants people to know, that this is his Registered Disciple, that¡¯s why he requires the public disclosure of the identity,¡± the black-robed elder said.


    Li Yuan was caught between laughter and tears.


    This Heavenly Divine actually cared so much about fame? Even in death, he sought renown.


    Truly a remarkable character.


    No wonder the behavior of the black-robed elder before him was also quite odd; like master, like servant.


    ¡°I understand your concerns.¡±


    ¡°The master has formidable enemies, hence the places of inheritance are very secretive, and he does not demand any disciple to disclose their identity openly,¡± the black-robed elder said: ¡°But with two conditions.¡±


    ¡°If you Ascend to Heavenly God, naturally you won¡¯t fear the master¡¯s great enemy, and even the Starry Sky Ancient City will have to respect you.¡±


    ¡°If you can seize the Ancestral Realm Order as a Semi-Divine, as long as you don¡¯t fall in the future, you generally can reach the level of a True God at the peak.¡±


    ¡°As long as you wish, you could fully join the core ranks of ¡®Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯, and you are just a Registered Disciple¡­ The master¡¯s great enemy, should probably not go so far as to kill you,¡± the black-robed elder said.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    According to the norms of the Divine Realm, a Registered Disciple is essentially close to a ¡®follower¡¯, and their status is not even as high as some trusted followers.


    Inner Sect Disciples are usually considered formally included in the sect.


    In the Divine Realm, many Heavenly Divines fight to the death among themselves, and when one side falls, it usually does not affect the Registered Disciples.


    Unless there is a great threat, they do not deliberately eliminate even Inner Sect Disciples.


    The supreme powerhouses have their pride too.


    But no matter what, there¡¯s always a risk.


    If this Ascended Heavenly God¡¯s enemy is one to bear grudges, then that would be a major problem.


    ¡°Elder, if I become a Registered Disciple of an Ascended Heavenly God, what could I gain?¡± Li Yuan asked directly.


    Whether the risk is great also depends on the gains.


    ¡°Such hesitation, it seems that you are indeed determined to obtain the Ancestral Realm Order,¡± the black-robed elder laughed: ¡°The previous ten-plus Registered Disciples didn¡¯t hesitate much.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Most Flying Heaven Realm or even Semi-Divine would probably not hesitate much and would directly agree.


    ¡°By the master¡¯s command, all Registered Disciples, as a first gift, will receive twenty thousand Divine Crystals,¡± the black-robed elder said.


    Twenty thousand Divine Crystals?


    Li Yuan thought to himself, that amounts to the entire wealth of many Initial Rank of Pseudo-God powerhouses.


    But for a Heavenly Divine that is nearing the end of life and has specifically left behind an inheritance, that¡¯s too little.


    Like the treasures left for their Direct Disciples by gods like Ancient Flame True God, how much could one acquire? Just an Ancient Divine Palace alone would be invaluable.


    ¡°The second gift depends on the strength of the Registered Disciple; after all, Registered Disciples vary in strength, so naturally, the gifts can¡¯t all be the same.¡±


    ¡°If they encounter a powerful Registered Disciple, naturally, a better gift must be prepared,¡± the black-robed old man said with a smile: ¡°Like you, in terms of strength and potential, you¡¯re even stronger than Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples at the Flying Heaven Level¡­ You are qualified to choose one of the top three treasures from the ¡®Registered Disciples¡¯ Treasury.''¡±


    ¡°What are the top three treasures?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°The top three include two True God Instruments, both meticulously crafted by the master, worthy of being the pinnacle of True God Instruments¡­ after all, the Heavenly God Artifacts were reserved for his Direct Disciples,¡± said the black-robed elder: ¡°The other treasure is the Mirror of Laws.¡±


    Mirror of Laws? A flicker of puzzlement passed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    What is it?


    ¡°You might want to agree to him,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, even with a hint of excitement: ¡°The Mirror of Laws! I knew it, a Heavenly Divine on the brink of death would definitely leave behind such an important item, but I didn¡¯t expect even a Registered Disciple to have a chance to obtain it.¡±


    ¡°Sister, what is the Mirror of Laws?¡± Li Yuan quickly asked.


    ¡°Do you remember the three methods I told you about that can most quickly improve Law Comprehension efficiency?¡± Gu You¡¯s voice transmitted.


    ¡°I remember,¡± said Li Yuan: ¡°First, is to enhance one¡¯s own compatibility, such as practicing auxiliary Supreme Star Techniques like ¡®True Interpretation of the Sky Wind Star Meridian¡¯ or using the Origin of Sky Wind to transform one¡¯s body, which are permanent improvements.¡±


    ¡°Second, is to acquire treasures that assist in Enlightenment, like the ¡®Map of Myriad Stars.''¡±


    ¡°Third, esoteric objects meant for Enlightenment, like the legendary Enlightenment Leaves.¡± Li Yuan quickly said.


    ¡°Correct.¡± Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This Mirror of Laws, it is such an esoteric object for Enlightenment,¡± transmitted Gu You: ¡°The Mirror of Laws is exceedingly rare, even in the Divine Realm, many Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples might not be able to obtain it.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, astonished.


    Even Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples might not be able to obtain it? Is it that precious?


    ¡°Because, it is the product of a deceased Heavenly Divine,¡± said Gu You: ¡°A Heavenly Divine Powerhouse must fully comprehend a law, coupled with a deep understanding of the Space Law¡­ allowing their souls to almost merge into the Origin of the Great Dao, making the soul incredibly special.¡±


    ¡°When nearing their fall.¡±


    ¡°If the Heavenly Divine is willing, they can strip out many of their Law Comprehensions and condense them into the Mirror of Laws, True River of Laws¡­ these two great treasures. The True River of Laws is even more magical.¡±


    ¡°Typically, the soul of a Heavenly Divine can condense more than one Mirror of Laws. Once used, it illuminates the Cultivator¡¯s heart and directly points to the source of the law¡­ definitely a huge fortune,¡± transmitted Gu You: ¡°The treasures left behind by father are absolutely beyond your imagination, so, True God Instruments¡­ even the finest True God Instruments, you don¡¯t need to care too much about.¡±


    ¡°After all, True God Instruments can only be used once you Ascend to God, and once you become a god, you¡¯ll probably become a True God in one breath, and obtaining True God Instruments won¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    ¡°But the Mirror of Laws is extremely rare and also holds a legendary status as an esoteric object of enlightenment in the Divine Realm,¡± solemnly transmitted Gu You.


    Li Yuan already understood.


    He couldn¡¯t help but think of the Pseudo-God Liquid, crafted from the souls of Pseudo-God Powerhouses.


    And yet the Mirror of Laws, True River of Laws, can only be condensed from the Law Comprehensions within the soul of a Heavenly Divine upon their imminent death¡­ representing the life of the Heavenly Divine.


    No wonder some Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples couldn¡¯t obtain it.


    ¡°A living Heavenly Divine, unless robbed, where else could one come from?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Only a deceased Heavenly Divine could possibly leave one behind.¡±


    Such esoteric objects meant for Enlightenment, this mysterious Heavenly Divine left behind before death ¨C there must be more than one but not many.


    ¡°I¡¯m all in!¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Divine enemy? If I complete the Purple Garment mission, I will leave Jue Xing Continent,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°By then, even if that Heavenly Divine wants to kill me, he will likely be unable to find me.¡±


    Li Yuan had already thought through the pros and cons.


    With only twelve years left, he must seize every opportunity. Once he leaves the Abyss Demon Blood Den¡­ as an outsider with an unclear identity, even with high talent, he may not be recognized by other Heavenly Divines on the Jue Xing Continent.


    In such a short time, it would be extremely difficult to come across greater opportunities.


    This black-robed elder, with just his teleportation skill alone, could easily kill him if he wanted to; there was no need to deceive him.


    ¡°Seize every opportunity to become a Purple Garment Member,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°From the many traces left by the principal, Dongfang Alliance Leader, the opportunity contained within the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain seems to be even greater than that of the Heavenly Divine Direct Disciples.¡±


    With this in mind.


    ¡°Senior, I wish to become a Registered Disciple of the Heavenly Divine,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Haha, good, that¡¯s a wise choice,¡± the black-robed elder showed a smile: ¡°Rest assured, you will be happy with your decision today¡­ Some things, due to special reasons, I can¡¯t tell you, but you¡¯ll understand soon.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re called Xu Yuan, right?¡±


    ¡°Correct,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, follow me,¡± the black-robed elder turned and was about to fly towards another corridor in the hall.


    ¡°Senior, what about them?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but point at the skeletons on the ground.


    ¡°These people, although they barely passed the peripheral challenge, still didn¡¯t meet the requirements,¡± sighed the black-robed elder, shaking his head: ¡°In the end, they could only die of old age here; these are the master¡¯s orders, and I cannot defy them.¡±


    ¡°In fact, the ¡®Abyss Demon Blood Den¡¯ you experienced is not the actual peripheral challenge of the Legacy Land.¡±


    ¡°Those ferocious beasts were cultivated by another True God specifically for Slaughter,¡± said the black-robed elder.


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    This was also one of his confusions, the Semi-Divine Level ferocious beasts and Blood Demons he encountered in the Abyss Demon Blood Den¡­ the difficulty was much greater than in the corridors.


    ¡°That involves other secrets,¡± the black-robed elder shook his head: ¡°After all, most of the Legacy Land¡¯s treasures have been taken, and I did not care much.¡±


    ¡°Unless one is powerful, like at the Flying Heaven Level showing the strength of Initial Rank of Semi-Divine, hopeful to become a Registered Disciple of the master, then I would teleport them here.¡±

 Chapter 771 771: 407: Breakthrough! Has the Senior Brother Arrived?

    Chapter 771: Chapter 407: Breakthrough! Has the Senior Brother Arrived?


    The passage is quite wide, but also extremely dark, more than ten times higher than the void corridor Li Yuan had experienced before.


    ¡°If I wasn¡¯t leading you, you would encounter many obstacles trying to pass through this corridor,¡± the man in black robe said. ¡°Of course, with your strength, passing through the corridor wouldn¡¯t be a problem¡­ I won¡¯t have to waste my time then.¡±


    After the two flew for a while.


    Suddenly a bright light appeared in front of them, revealing a vast land with undulating mountain ranges and a huge, crystal-clear lake with clouds and mist covering the void above the mountains.


    At first glance, it looked just like a fairyland.


    And at the edge of the lake, there was a common wooden hut. Under a big tree beside the hut, there sat a figure in crimson battle armor with a burly stature.


    ...


    He had short red hair, a resolute face, and his eyes were tightly closed. Even sitting cross-legged, he was over two meters tall, and his burly body exuded an incredibly mighty and fierce aura.


    Whoosh!


    The man in the black robe brought Li Yuan down by the lake.


    Even before getting close, Li Yuan felt an incredibly terrifying presence, like an ant facing a giant dragon.


    Unrivaled!


    This was the disparity in the life level, unknowable by how many tens of thousands of times.


    ¡°True body?¡± Li Yuan was astonished in his heart.


    ¡°Yes,¡± nodded the man in black robe, his face rarely solemn: ¡°When the master reached the end of his lifespan, he made all arrangements before his demise and then passed away in meditation here.¡±


    ¡°These lakes and mountain ranges are all recollections of the master¡¯s childhood hometown, which, unfortunately, was destroyed¡­ Later, when the master ascended to Heavenly God, he gained the power to create small worlds, and recreated the scenes from his memories here,¡± the man in black robe lamented. ¡°In death, he just wanted to sit here forever.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    Indeed, he was a man of strong character.


    ¡°The master¡¯s name is Anchi Heavenly God, once a renowned figure, and a supreme being ranked among the top three in this starry sky,¡± said the man in the black robe, looking at Li Yuan with pride.


    Li Yuan remained calm (clueless).


    Anchi Heavenly God?


    Never heard of him!


    ¡°Nevermind, you¡¯re only at Flying Heaven Level, so it¡¯s normal that you haven¡¯t heard of the master¡¯s name. When you become a True God in the future, you will know,¡± the man in the black robe shook his head helplessly. ¡°Come on, although you¡¯re just a registered disciple and haven¡¯t received direct guidance from the master, you should still pay your respects.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Withstanding the terrifying might emanating from Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s remains, Li Yuan struggled to approach a bit closer, then respectfully performed a grand salute.


    ¡°Master,¡± the man in the black robe stood reverently to the side, solemnly saying, ¡°Another registered disciple has been chosen. This disciple is probably the most outstanding one selected in tens of thousands of years.¡±


    ¡°I hope the master will open the treasure vault,¡± said the man in the black robe respectfully.


    Whoosh~


    Whoosh~ An invisible fluctuation flew out from the body of Anchi Heavenly God, and soon the nearby wooden hut slowly opened.


    ¡°Thank you, master,¡± said the man in the black robe. ¡°Xu Yuan, stand up. As a registered disciple, there¡¯s no need for you to make a specific Law pledge¡­ Follow me.¡±


    Li Yuan respectfully got up and followed the man in the black robe towards the now open wooden hut.


    ¡°Elder, Anchi Master¡¯s flesh body?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Anchi Heavenly God, it felt as if he was just sleeping, nothing at all like being dead.


    Logically.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s imagination, reaching the end of one¡¯s lifespan should mean physical decay and rot.


    ¡°The master is a Heavenly God, who has penetrated the Law of the Great Dao and has an extremely high level of Space Law Comprehension,¡± the man in the black robe spoke softly. ¡°His flesh body is so powerful, comparable to a True God Instrument, hardly touched by the passage of time¡­ Even after tens of millions of years, it would not completely decay.¡±


    ¡°`


    ¡°Just a few tens of thousands of years have passed, naturally there hasn¡¯t been much change.¡±


    ¡°The body is nearly immortal.¡± The black-robed elder seemed to recall something and sighed, ¡°The death of a Heavenly Divine is not due to decay¡­ but because of the constraints of heaven and earth. When heaven and earth want you dead, you have no choice but to die.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank.


    That statement from the black-robed elder seemed to be laden with deep meaning. Heaven and earth want you dead? Are they the rules of heaven and earth?


    ¡°This is something the master once said, you should understand if you can ascend to Heavenly Divine one day,¡± said the black-robed elder with a smile, having already entered the wooden house.


    Li Yuan followed him in as well.


    Whoosh~ Stepping into the wooden house, the space seemed to shift, and Li Yuan found himself amidst a vast starry sky, where artifacts and treasures emanating powerful auras were suspended.


    ¡°So many treasures.¡± Li Yuan held his breath; this was much more impressive than the ¡®Divine Artifact Chamber¡¯ of the Seven Star Civilization.


    From Li Yuan¡¯s perspective, amongst the densely packed treasures, aside from some rare items, even the weakest divine artifacts were likely on the same level as his Dark Star Divine Spear.


    Indeed, this was the Legacy Land of a Heavenly Divine.


    ¡°This is the treasure vault of the registered disciples,¡± said the black-robed elder. ¡°First, I¡¯ll give you twenty thousand Divine Crystals.¡±


    Whoosh! The black-robed elder waved his hand, and a Storage Treasure landed in front of Li Yuan.


    As Li Yuan sensed with his Divine Sense, he saw the interior space of the Storage Magical Treasure was vast, piled up like a small mountain of Divine Crystals.


    Twenty thousand Fangshen Crystals!


    ¡°If I step into the Demigod realm and cultivate those Nine Layer Star Techniques, with the many resources required, I won¡¯t have to worry about running out of Divine Crystals,¡± thought Li Yuan to himself. The Jue Xing Continent was vast, and as long as he had enough Divine Crystals, gathering treasures should not be difficult.


    After Li Yuan put the Storage Treasure away.


    ¡°The second treasure, you¡¯ll have to choose, one out of three,¡± said the black-robed elder. ¡°One is the Sealing Tower, which serves multiple purposes including a warship, material defense, sealing, and so on, and can be called the finest of the True God Instruments. Even a True God Limit Expert, once imprisoned within, would have no hope of escaping.¡±


    ¡°Many True Gods cannot afford this treasure.¡±


    The black-robed elder pointed into the distance, and a sphere in the depths of the starry sky suddenly shone brightly, revealing the vague phantom of a majestic tower, with an atmosphere so vast it made one¡¯s heart tremble.


    ¡°Top grade indeed,¡± Li Yuan marveled in amazement.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, just as with Pseudo-God Artifacts, the cheapest cost one or two Divine Crystals, the expensive ones thousands, and some extremely special ones even tens of thousands of Divine Crystals.


    Among True God Instruments, the top-grade ones were so valuable that many True Gods would hesitate to pursue them.


    ¡°The second choice is a Soul Secret Treasure. In the hands of a True God, it can defend against the soul attacks of ordinary Heavenly Divines,¡± continued the black-robed elder. ¡°This is also extremely rare.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, understanding that the more powerful a Soul Secret Treasure was, the rarer it became.


    Such great treasure!


    Tempting to the eyes!


    Unfortunately, he could only choose one.


    ¡°Among the top three treasures, the last is the ¡®Mirror of Laws,''¡± said the black-robed elder. ¡°The main mysteries contained in this Mirror of Laws are those of the Space Law, and a small part of the Fire Law Comprehension¡­ The master¡¯s enlightenment was in the Fire Law.¡±


    ¡°Fire?¡± Li Yuan felt slightly disappointed in his heart; this was not the path he excelled in.


    But containing the mysteries of Space Law was good enough.


    ¡°Have you decided?¡± The black-robed elder looked at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Elder, I would like the Mirror of Laws,¡± Li Yuan responded promptly.


    Realms are the foundation; no matter how strong a divine artifact is, it requires sufficient Law Comprehension to bring out its potential.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°This Mirror of Laws, I will gift it to you,¡± said the black-robed elder with a smile. ¡°Will you use it now or keep it for later?¡±


    ¡°` sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Use it now.¡± Li Yuan declared decisively.


    Just now, Gu You had informed him about the Mirror of Laws.


    Such treasures of Enlightenment, once used, truly become one¡¯s own.


    Kept in hand, they only invite covetous glances.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s cultivate here.¡± The black-robed elder said, ¡°Prepare yourself.¡±


    Whoosh!


    A streak of light suddenly fell from the starry sky, heading straight for Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look up, only to see a mirror swiftly appearing in his field of vision.


    This mirror was incredibly strange; to be precise, it shouldn¡¯t be called a mirror at all. It was more like a drop of water, smooth as a mirror, from which Li Yuan felt as though he could sense the vast universe and the earth, instantly losing himself.


    ¡°Huh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze became distant as he sat down cross-legged.


    Drip Drop!


    The mirror fell silently and touched Li Yuan. Like a liquid, it immediately engulfed him¡­ The Mirror of Laws seemed to take Li Yuan into another space.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness was abruptly lifted, and he faintly sensed that he had reached a mysterious realm.


    In the dim and vast void, it seemed like nothingness.


    A man with fiery red hair and wearing fiery red combat armor stood as if he were the incarnation of flames, with vast and endless aura and eyes that contained terrifying might. His gaze swept across the void, seemingly perceiving Li Yuan¡¯s presence, causing Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness to shiver uncontrollably.


    ¡°Is this Anchi Heavenly God?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t let down the path I¡¯ve taken,¡± Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s lips moved soundlessly, yet conveyed his meaning clearly.


    Huh!


    Anchi Heavenly God brought his hands together, raising them slightly at head level, as if in worship or as if using his palms as a knife, suddenly slicing forward.


    Whoosh!


    With this palm strike, might condensed, the entire void began to tremble, and a fine space rift emerged, almost imperceptible to the naked eye¡­ This space rift extended endlessly towards the far reaches of the void along the direction of the palm-knife.


    One hundred kilometers!


    Three hundred kilometers!


    One thousand kilometers!


    ¡­This space rift seemed minute, yet contained a terrifying piercing force, extending beyond the limits of Li Yuan¡¯s reach.


    ¡°Space Cutting.¡±


    ¡°This strike!¡±


    Li Yuan was deeply shaken. He had never imagined that the Space Law could be used in such a way, with might condensed to the ultimate degree. This palm strike gave him the illusion that ¡®everything in the world could be severed, without harming the innocent.¡¯


    Concentration!


    The pinnacle of concentration! Sharp to the extreme!


    Although the space rift seemed fine, it caused the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth to surge and took a long time to close.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    Within this fine space rift, massive flames flowed out, filled with vibrant life force, gradually closing the rift¡­


    ¡°Whoosh~¡± The Mirror of Laws that had seemingly engulfed Li Yuan suddenly dissipated.


    Once again, Li Yuan¡¯s figure appeared in the void, completely entranced.


    ¡°It¡¯s uncertain how much this little fellow will gain, hope he doesn¡¯t squander the master¡¯s painstaking effort.¡± The black-robed elder muttered under his breath.


    ¡­ ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The scene of Anchi Heavenly God slicing through heaven and earth with a palm strike was deeply engraved in Li Yuan¡¯s soul, a sensation as instinctive as if born with him, impossible to sever or cut away.


    This is the formidable power of the Mirror of Laws.


    Unlike those Inheritance Crystal Stone imprints Li Yuan received, which seemed to let him experience it for himself, once consciousness was withdrawn, they would quickly become blurry¡­ After all, those were just spiritual imprints.


    The Mirror of Laws, essentially, was part of a Heavenly Divine¡¯s soul, leaving a mark far more vivid.


    ¡°Slay!¡±


    ¡°Slay!¡±


    ¡°Slay!¡±


    ¡°One strike can slay everything!¡± Li Yuan felt that all the puzzles he had encountered while delving into the Mysteries of Space and practicing the fourth move ¡®Shattering the Long Sky¡¯ of the Boundary Cloud Spear were solved in this moment, and even more, he was bursting with bright ideas.


    Fully immersed in his cultivation.


    Unconsciously, Li Yuan used his finger in place of a spear, simulating the action of a Straight Thrust, striking out repeatedly.


    The cut and thrust shared common ground.


    Both sought unceasing momentum and the sharpness that could pierce all things!


    The black-robed elder waited quietly, not interrupting. He knew that the first Comprehension using the Mirror of Laws was especially critical.


    One hour.


    Two hours.


    Three hours.


    Ripples spread through the entrance of this Starry Sky.


    Following that, a black-armored figure emitting a mighty aura walked in, his presence domineering, somewhat similar to Anchi Heavenly God. The black-armored figure immediately spotted Li Yuan who was immersed in his comprehension in the void.


    ¡°He¡¯s come?¡± The black-robed elder saw the black-armored figure.


    ¡°Elder Wu, is this the Xu Yuan you¡¯ve mentioned, who might surpass me in the future?¡± the black-armored figure spoke softly, looking down at Li Yuan.


    He did not disturb Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation.


    But his gaze was sharp as if it could penetrate everything, carefully observing Li Yuan from every dimension.


    At his realm of strength, his Perception Ability was incredible.


    After a long time.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins? Flying Heaven Eight Star Veins?¡± A mysterious light flashed in the eyes of the black-armored figure.


    But he didn¡¯t speak out and instead stood patiently alongside the black-robed elder.


    During the repeated processes of thrusting with finger as spear, the aura emanating from Li Yuan grew stronger, the might at his fingertips intensified, and numerous insights surged into his mind.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Another thrust, unbelievably fast, causing even the stable space to ripple slightly.


    ¡°Space ripple?¡± The black-robed elder¡¯s eyes shone.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Realm, Pseudo-God Level Spear Technique?¡± The black-armored figure grew even more surprised.

 Chapter 772 772: 408 Jiang Yuan True God

    Chapter 772: Chapter 408 Jiang Yuan True God


    Whether it was the black-robed elder known as ¡®Elder Wu¡¯ or the figure in black armor, both had exceptionally high standards and clearly understood what it meant for a move to cause spatial ripples.


    This signified that such a technique could penetrate the superficial layer of heaven and earth and touch upon the true fluctuations of space.


    It undoubtedly belonged to the realm of Pseudo-God level techniques.


    ¡°This technique primarily incorporates the Mysteries of Space, with the Law of Earth and the Wind Law as auxiliary elements; it is quite exquisite.¡±


    ¡°My junior, merely at the Flying Heaven Level, is able to touch upon the Mysteries of Space; his talent is indeed unimaginable,¡± the figure in black armor whispered, ¡°Elder Wu, are you sure what the master left behind was the Mirror of Laws and not the True River of Laws?¡±


    ¡°How could I possibly deceive you?¡±


    ...


    ¡°The True River of Laws represents the opportunity to comprehend the complete Law of the Great Dao. Even someone as powerful as our master only left behind three portions, of which you received one,¡± said the black-robed elder.


    ¡°The treasure vault of Registered Disciples.¡±


    ¡°To have left behind a Mirror of Laws is already quite remarkable; how could there possibly be a True River of Laws left behind?¡± the black-robed elder added.


    The figure in black armor nodded slightly.


    The Heavenly Gods, if slain by enemies, would naturally not transform into the True River of Laws or the Mirror of Laws¡­ but even if they meticulously prepared before their seated meditation, something like the Mirror of Laws would be left in no more than several dozen portions.


    Such numbers are still extremely scarce.


    Given its effectiveness, it naturally shouldn¡¯t be this good; the only explanation is¡­ the user has an exceedingly high talent.


    ¡°Starry Vein Talent is extraordinary.¡±


    ¡°The Law Talent is also extremely strong, and the soul is infinitely close to the Pseudo-God level¡­¡± The figure in black armor mused, ¡°Where did this come from? I¡¯ve never heard of him.¡±


    He, as the master of a Divine Kingdom and a high-level entity of the Starry Sky Ancient City, had extremely broad knowledge and was even more informed.


    By rights!


    Talents like this at the Flying Heaven Level should have been discovered long ago; in any Divine Kingdom, they would be counted as top-tier geniuses.


    ¡°How did he appear in the Abyss Demon Blood Den?¡± The figure in black armor frowned, with myriad thoughts flashing through his mind.


    But he remained expressionless, simply continuing to observe.


    ¡­


    In this Starry Sky world, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, quietly contemplating the mysteries of Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s palm-strike technique.


    It was truly shocking.


    The sensation was too clear.


    Merely through repeated attempts, Li Yuan felt his comprehension of the Mysteries of Space continuously breaking through.


    It came naturally to him to perform the fourth style of ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯: ¡®Shattering the Long Sky.¡¯


    This style, in terms of profundity, was already comparable to that of an Initial Rank Pseudo-God.


    Such a breakthrough in realm was enough to abruptly elevate Li Yuan¡¯s strength by a great margin.


    ¡°The application of the Space Law ¨C vast and unpredictable. Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s palm-strike must belong to the category of ¡®Space Cutting¡¯, which is the ultimate destruction,¡± Li Yuan excited himself.


    Whether it was contemplating the Law of Earth or the Wind Law, he had many references and could receive some guidance.


    Only when contemplating the Mysteries of Space did he find great difficulty, as Li Yuan had been groping alone in the dark.


    After all, even someone like Qiu Bingzun, in their understanding of the Space Law, was only at the level of the ¡®True Intention of Space¡¯ and hadn¡¯t truly entered the Threshold of the Law¡­ One can imagine the hardship of the Space Dao.


    ¡°The Space Law!¡±


    ¡°Just like the Seven Fundamental Laws, it also divides into many directions, such as Space Cutting, World, No Space Domain, etc.,¡± Li Yuan sighed in solitude, ¡°Each direction has its own focus, like Space Cutting, if cultivated to the extreme, legend has it that one move can cross billions of miles in space-time to slay the enemy, where everything touched can be killed.¡±


    ¡°The World direction can make one¡¯s Domain as vast as an entire world descending, encompassing everything.¡±


    ¡°The direction of the No Space Domain can penetrate everything, stepping into higher dimensions; it is much more formidable than some of the Escaping Techniques of the Wind System, and when cultivated to advanced levels, it can even allow one to teleport, crossing vast Star Domains in a thought¡ªthis is also why the Heavenly Gods can construct Transmission Arrays.¡±


    ¡°The direction of Space Objects¡­¡±


    ¡­Li Yuan knew such general information in the past, but knowing it was of little use without being able to comprehend it specifically.


    Until today.


    Using the Mirror of Laws, Li Yuan had opened the doors to a brand new world, witnessing the fearsome nature of the Space Law and further clarifying his path.


    ¡°Space Cutting.¡±


    ¡°Now that I have the guidance of Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s Mirror of Laws, I will make my utmost effort to comprehend in the direction of Space Cutting,¡± Li Yuan vowed from the heart, intending to learn the most powerful if he was to learn at all.


    Time passed.


    The profound effects of the Mirror of Laws were gradually fading, and the abundant Spiritual Light in Li Yuan¡¯s mind was also dispersing.


    ¡°The most precious first use is gone.¡±


    ¡°Subsequent comprehension will probably not even be one-tenth as efficient as this time,¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly.


    The Mirror of Laws was integrated into the soul, and its first use had the best effect, with each later use having a diminishing return.


    ¡°According to the information Sister Gu You gave,¡±


    ¡°With the passage of time, the power contained within the Mirror of Laws will ultimately completely dissipate, and each session of my contemplation will also deplete some of its power,¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Therefore, after using the Mirror of Laws, it would be best to re-contemplate after some time.


    ¡°It is an external object, aiding in cultivation, but it cannot replace my own comprehension,¡± Li Yuan was well aware of this: ¡°My first use had such a significant effect because of the many years I spent in Concealed Cultivation, studying the Mysteries of Space, deducing the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯, and accumulating a plethora of doubts.¡±


    It was like teachers lecturing.


    Only if students earnestly prepared in advance and had many questions could they maximize the efficacy of the teacher¡¯s lecture.


    With this thought.


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind moved, and he sensed an option on the Divine Palace panel:


    [Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 62%), True Meaning of Fire (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Wood (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Metal (Fifth Stage 88%), Mysteries of Thunder (Fifth Stage 12%)]


    ¡°The progress in the Mysteries of Space is indeed great, now equivalent to the standard of Seventh Stage High Rank,¡± Li Yuan mused, ¡°Now, my rate of progress in the Space aspect truly far exceeds that of the Earth and Wind aspects.¡±


    Li Yuan himself had not anticipated that it would be so easy for him to comprehend the Mysteries of Space.


    ¡°The lineage of Fire, I have actually, unbeknownst to myself, condensed the True Intent.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Anchi Heavenly God, who had a complete mastery of the Fire Law, naturally left behind a Mirror of Laws that contained a great deal of insight into the Fire Law.


    Even though Li Yuan was not particularly adept at the path of Fire, during his understanding of it, he could be affected unconsciously.


    One path leads to the creation of thousands.


    Super experts, in addition to the paths that they have comprehended, would generally have some understanding of other Laws.


    ¡°Phew!¡± Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and stood up to look at the cloaked elder not far away.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan was shocked to find that, unbeknownst to when, a figure clad in black armor was standing next to the cloaked elder, with an overbearing aura that faintly enveloped this part of the Starry Sky.


    ¡°I actually didn¡¯t notice him at all just now.¡± Li Yuan was surprised, ¡°When I don¡¯t look at him, I can¡¯t feel his presence, but as soon as I look at him, I feel that his aura is terrifying¡­ What kind of technique is this?¡±


    With just one look, Li Yuan understood.


    This figure in black armor was definitely the strongest he had ever met in his life, far surpassing even the Dongfang Alliance Leader.


    ¡°True God.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan, this is a True God, and a very powerful one at that,¡± Sister Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly rang out: ¡°He appeared just now, I just didn¡¯t disturb you because I saw that he seemed to have no ill intentions and you were in Concealed Cultivation.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan stepped forward and quickly came in front of the cloaked elder, giving a respectful bow, ¡°Thank you, elder.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. As the Named Disciple of the master, it¡¯s only right that you receive some treasures,¡± the cloaked elder said with a smile: ¡°Do you remember when I said before that there were some secrets I didn¡¯t tell you?¡±


    ¡°Now that you have become the master¡¯s Named Disciple, you have the right to know.¡±


    ¡°This person in front of you, is the master¡¯s Direct Disciple, and also the eldest disciple of your lineage,¡± the cloaked elder introduced: ¡°Jiang Yuan True God.¡±


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished, as expected.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, pays respects to Senior Brother,¡± Li Yuan bowed.


    Suddenly, a thought struck Li Yuan, ¡°Wait, Jiang Yuan True God? Also surnamed Jiang?¡±


    Is it a coincidence?


    ¡°Elder Wu sent a message to me, saying that a formidable junior brother has emerged from the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a hint of a smile: ¡°So I specially hurried over from the Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°At first glance, I¡¯ve found that, indeed, there¡¯s something extraordinary about you that made Elder Wu give praise.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with control over Pseudo-God Level moves, quite rare indeed!¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile: ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, you are outstanding. Among the countless Flying Heaven Level experts of the Jue Xing Continent, the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the Six Great Holy Lands, the three thousand Divine Kingdoms, you are probably among the very top ranks.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother is overpraising,¡± Li Yuan responded.


    ¡°I am not overpraising,¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed: ¡°If you only had control over Pseudo-God Level moves, indeed, you wouldn¡¯t be considered top rank.¡±


    ¡°But to awaken Eight Star Veins at the realm of Flying Heaven, plus a soul almost at the Pseudo-God Level, and considering your age, which isn¡¯t even forty years old,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°Even if I claim you have the highest talent among the Flying Heaven Level on the Jue Xing Continent, you would still be worthy of it.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s expression was calm, but inside his heart, a storm was brewing.


    This!!


    This Jiang Yuan True God, having only just met him, had seen through him so thoroughly.


    ¡°Eight Star Veins?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you kiddo are an Eight Star Vein?¡± Elder Wu was astonished at the side: ¡°I thought you were just a Seven Star Vein, so you¡¯re actually an Eight Star Vein? Third Rank Eight Star Vein, this!!¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean, before ascending to godhood, there¡¯s a hope to strive for Nine Star Pulse?¡± Elder Wu¡¯s eyes shone with light.


    The difference between Seven Star Veins and Eight Star Veins seems to be just one vein, but in reality, it¡¯s a world apart.


    The former is quite common on the Jue Xing Continent.


    For instance, within the Abyss Country, there are Demigods with Seven Star Veins, and there are far too many across the Jue Xing Continent.


    But as we go up to Eight Star Vein experts, the numbers dwindle drastically.


    Nine Star Pulse? It¡¯s a legend of the Jue Xing Continent!!


    ¡°Tch tch, you sure hid yourself deep enough, almost fooling this old man,¡± Elder Wu laughed: ¡°Sadly, you still couldn¡¯t escape your Senior Brother Jiang Yuan¡¯s eyes. Among the many true gods in the Jue Xing Continent, he is one of the top three existences, an absolute True God Limit Expert.¡±


    True God Limit?


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart trembled, and he couldn¡¯t help but take another look at Jiang Yuan True God.


    According to Li Yuan¡¯s knowledge, when Qiu Bingzun was alive, he was at the level of True God Limit and thus had the qualifications to be called a ¡®Zun¡¯ among the Heavenly Serpent Clan.


    ¡°Anchi Heavenly God¡¯s Direct Disciple is at the True God Limit?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°That¡¯s right! To be chosen by a Heavenly God, one¡¯s talent must certainly be extremely high, and it¡¯s not surprising to have True God Limit strength after more than ten thousand years.¡±


    With this thought.


    ¡°Elder Wu, Senior Brother, I had no intention of hiding it,¡± Li Yuan continued, feeling somewhat anxious in his heart.


    Although the other was nominally his ¡®Senior Brother,¡¯ this was also only their first meeting.


    Anything could happen.


    It could be said that his life was in the hands of this Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be nervous.¡±


    ¡°Since I call you ¡®Junior Brother,¡¯ it means I acknowledge you,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile.


    Then, he looked towards the cloaked elder, ¡°Elder Wu, then I will take Junior Brother Xu Yuan with me for now, I will inform you if there¡¯s anything.¡±


    ¡°Alright, that works too,¡± the cloaked elder agreed: ¡°Jiang Yuan, you need to treat Xu Yuan well.¡± sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°If Junior Brother Xu Yuan can grow up, in the future, he will be a great help for me, and perhaps it will be a fine story for both of us brothers to Ascend to Heavenly God,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°Naturally, I will cultivate him with care.¡±


    ¡°Junior Brother, let¡¯s go.¡±

 Chapter 773 773: 409: You Come from the Divine Realm

    Chapter 773: Chapter 409: You Come from the Divine Realm


    Hu! Hu!


    The invisible force enshrouding them was extremely powerful. Li Yuan could not break free, nor did he dare to try. After passing through the layers of clouds above that world, reminiscent of a fairyland,


    They flew through the void for a long time.


    Suddenly, everything became clear.


    A vast and boundless realm appeared in Li Yuan¡¯s sight.


    The earth was limitless, and there was an enormous sun hanging in the sky.


    ...


    At the horizon of this world, one could vaguely see a colossal city, hovering in the void, appearing extremely grand and magnificent.


    ¡°Where is this?¡± Li Yuan wondered internally, but did not show it.


    ¡°We have already left the Abyss Demon Blood Den,¡± Jiang Yuan True God had stopped.


    Hearing this, a hint of surprise flickered across Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    They had already left the Abyss Demon Blood Den?


    ¡°That distant city is the ¡®Blood Demon City¡¯ that my Abyss Country arranged around the Abyss Demon Blood Den,¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked towards Li Yuan, seeming to observe something.


    With his formidable strength, even though Li Yuan concealed it well, Jiang Yuan True God still captured the slight emotional fluctuation in Li Yuan when he heard the words.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, you entered through the Blood Demon City into the Abyss Demon Blood Den, did you not know?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said indifferently.


    Li Yuan was shocked.


    Instantly, Li Yuan noticed a change in Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°Of course, I knew,¡± Li Yuan responded.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan,¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan. ¡°Elder Wu was present before, and there were things inconvenient for me to disclose. Now, we should have a talk.¡±


    ¡°What does Senior Brother wish to discuss?¡± Li Yuan bowed slightly, rapidly considering his options in his mind.


    The other was a True God Limit Expert; if he wished to kill Li Yuan, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. Li Yuan had no power to resist.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°With such talent and strength, it¡¯s unlikely that a common Divine Kingdom could nurture you. Where do you come from?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Starry Sky Ancient City? Holy Land Sect? Or some sort of Divine Kingdom?¡±


    Li Yuan sighed internally.


    Here it comes!


    Arriving in this world, the biggest trouble was the issue of identity!


    All great power has its causes, and the more abnormal and attention-grabbing one¡¯s performance, the harder it becomes to conceal one¡¯s origin.


    Other major powers, whether they wanted to recruit him or harbor ill intent, would first investigate his background.


    Initially, Li Yuan wanted to leave the Abyss Demon Blood Den, learn more about Jue Xing Continent, and then slowly fabricate his own history.


    Unexpectedly,


    In the Abyss Demon Blood Den itself, he had encountered a True God Limit Expert.


    Right now, it was really tough for Li Yuan to concoct a story.


    ¡°Senior Brother, I was commanded to venture out for experience and training and must not disclose my origins,¡± Li Yuan said gravely, ¡°but I will certainly not be an enemy to Senior Brother. If Senior Brother does not trust me, I am willing to make an oath with the Law of the Great Dao.¡±


    This was the best explanation Li Yuan could come up with.


    ¡°Must not disclose? What if I compel you? Insist that you tell?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said lightly.


    Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted slightly.


    ¡°Junior Brother need not be tense. I am not one to persist unreasonably,¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan. ¡°I¡¯ll just ask you one thing¡ªare you from the Divine Realm?¡±


    Li Yuan was startled on the inside. Divine Realm?


    It was not surprising that the other party knew about the Divine Realm; after all, he was a disciple of Anchi Heavenly God.


    From Elder Wu¡¯s description, Li Yuan knew.


    The top powerhouses of this realm should all be familiar with the Divine Realm.


    But from the other¡¯s tone, did it mean that strong beings from the Divine Realm often descended to this world?


    ¡°Judging by the fluctuations of your Divine Soul, I should have guessed right,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said thoughtfully. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be surprised. Our realm once was part of the Divine Realm. I, being from the Jiang Family, and having received guidance from my Master, know some truths about Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°The most important points are¡ª¡±


    ¡°First, I have ordered a Pseudo-God under my command to check, and among the numerous trialists who entered the Abyss Demon Blood Den this year, your information was not found.¡±


    ¡°Second, your talent and strength are exceptional. It¡¯s highly unlikely that you are a Loose Cultivator. No matter which power you¡¯re affiliated with, you should be highly valued. However, you seem ignorant about the War of the Ancestral Realm, the Anchi Heavenly God, and so on. You don¡¯t even know the timing of the War of the Ancestral Realm, which is too unreasonable.¡±


    ¡°Third, historically, there have been many Flying Heaven and Demigods from the Divine Realm who have adventured on Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°Therefore¡ª¡±


    ¡°I guessed you might come from the Divine Realm, and you must have descended abruptly into the Abyss Demon Blood Den not long ago.¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan, ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, am I right?¡±


    Li Yuan internally sighed with resignation.


    It was to be expected from one of the pinnacle True Gods of Jue Xing Continent. His perspective and judgment were indeed extraordinary.


    ¡°You flatter me, Senior.¡±


    Li Yuan gave a wry smile and refrained from continuing to address him as Senior Brother, ¡°Indeed, I am not a creature of this realm, and I have indeed arrived not long ago.¡±


    Since the other party had spoken frankly, Li Yuan naturally wouldn¡¯t continue playing coy.


    ¡°Do not worry.¡±


    ¡°I harbor no ill will towards you.¡± Jiang Yuan True God still appeared very indifferent. ¡°I just don¡¯t know which power you come from in the Divine Realm. Can you tell me?¡±


    Li Yuan fell silent for a moment, then said, ¡°I come from the Chaos Divine Court, and more than that, I am unable to reveal.¡±


    This was a gamble on Li Yuan¡¯s part.


    Because Dongfang Ji had once mentioned ¡®Chaos Divine Court.¡¯


    Based on Li Yuan¡¯s conjecture, Dongfang Ji should only have become involved with the Chaos Divine Court after his adventures in Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.


    ¡°Chaos Divine Court? Indeed.¡± Jiang Yuan True God seemed unsurprised, ¡°You needn¡¯t call me Senior; continue to call me Senior Brother¡­ No matter where you come from, you are still a registered disciple of our teacher, that much is real.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a sense of relief.


    At least for now, there seemed to be no risk to his life.


    ¡°Junior Brother Xu Yuan, may I ask what your trial mission is?¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled. ¡°From what Elder Wu suggested, you are to participate in the War of the Ancestral Realm, aren¡¯t you, to seize the Ancestral Realm Order?¡±


    Li Yuan was speechless, unable to answer.


    At this moment, Li Yuan understood where he had slipped up¡­ All the information he had exchanged with Elder Wu, Jiang Yuan True God likely knew as well.


    ¡°`


    ¡°Is it indescribable?¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded slightly: ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t press for answers.¡±


    ¡°At the Flying Heaven Level to awaken the Eight Star Veins, even within the Chaos Divine Court, you are absolutely a demonically talented genius of the highest order.¡±


    ¡°I can help you.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan: ¡°What you are most worried about is probably revealing your identity¡­ With my help, your identity can easily be taken care of. If you wish to participate in the Ancestral Realm Battle, it will pose no difficulty.¡±


    ¡°Similarly, if you wish to access the Starry Sky Ancient City, it¡¯s not difficult either.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°I am King of the Abyss Country, but also the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Temple in the Jue Xing Ancient City. I can help you join the Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    King of the Abyss Country? That did not exceed Li Yuan¡¯s expectations. He could guess as much from the other¡¯s strength, name, and previous address.


    At the same time.


    This also explained why Jiang Yuan True God could arrive so quickly.


    Because this place was essentially within the Territory of Abyss Country.


    And no wonder Elder Wu did not intervene in the slaughter at the Abyss Demon Blood Den¡­ because the one behind the Blood Den¡¯s slaughter was likely Jiang Yuan True God himself.


    Moreover, Jiang Yuan True God was a direct disciple of Anchi Heavenly God.


    But it was the other identity related to the Jue Xing Ancient City that surprised Li Yuan?


    Jue Xing Ancient City is subtly the foremost of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.


    Law Enforcement Temple? From the name, it seems to be a powerful institution, and he is actually the Hall Master.


    Without a doubt.


    Jiang Yuan True God, within the Jue Xing Ancient City, is feared to be one of the top ranking influential figures.


    ¡°Senior brother is willing to help me, what does senior brother want me to do?¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    He and the other person were neither relatives nor friends, so why would he help him like this?


    Just because of senior brothers in name? Unlikely.


    ¡°Guiding Order!¡± Jiang Yuan True God said straightforwardly.


    Li Yuan was puzzled.


    ¡°You can come here, and you can leave.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile: ¡°Soon, you will probably leave the Jue Xing Continent, won¡¯t you?¡±


    Li Yuan had no way to answer.


    ¡°In the future, if I Ascend to Heavenly God, I will definitely leave the Jue Xing Continent for the Divine Realm, which is vast and truly a paradise for the mighty.¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes gleamed with yearning.


    Li Yuan did not expect the other party to have such ambitions.


    In an instant, Li Yuan had two guesses.


    First, Jiang Yuan True God must be very close to the realm of Heavenly Divine, even with a great chance of Ascending.


    Second, if he became a Heavenly Divine, he would have a way to travel from the Jue Xing Continent to the Divine Realm.


    ¡°In the future, if I go to the Chaos Divine Court to find you, I will need your help to introduce me, so that I can establish myself in the Chaos Divine Court,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God. ¡°Otherwise, as a foreign Heavenly Divine, I would probably be subject to many constraints.¡±


    Li Yuan listened, astounded.


    The other party was harboring such plans?


    ¡°Senior brother, I am of course willing.¡±


    ¡°But to introduce a Heavenly Divine, I am far from qualified at the moment; I must at least Ascend to Heavenly God to be eligible,¡± Li Yuan shook his head. ¡°I am only at the Flying Heaven Level right now.¡±


    From Flying Heaven Realm to Heavenly Divine, how distant is that?


    In fact, Li Yuan was not clear about the inner workings of the Chaos Divine Court.


    He was just guessing.


    ¡°No rush!¡±


    ¡°With your talent, I think there is hope for you to become a Heavenly Divine in the future, don¡¯t think I am tens of thousands of years older than you,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile. ¡°A Heavenly Divine has a lifespan of three hundred thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Thousands of years later, if we are both Heavenly Divines, we will be peers, both still very young.¡±


    ¡°At that time, wouldn¡¯t it be a joy for us, senior and junior brothers, to meet in the Divine Realm?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with emotion.


    Li Yuan had to admit.


    Jiang Yuan True God is thinking far ahead, extremely optimistic¡­perhaps overly so.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, are you willing to agree?¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°If you are willing, we shall make a pact and each make an oath according to the Law of the Great Dao.¡±


    To agree or not?


    ¡°I am willing,¡± Li Yuan said¡ªhow could he refuse?


    And Li Yuan also had his own thoughts, for with the help of Jiang Yuan True God, the hope of completing his mission could greatly increase.


    ¡°Good.¡± Jiang Yuan True God was quite satisfied and immediately said: ¡°I, hereby swear upon the Law of the Great Dao, during brother Xu Yuan¡¯s endeavors on the Jue Xing Continent, I will do my utmost to help.¡±


    Swiftly, an intangible wave descended.


    ¡°I¡­ swear, that once senior brother Jiang Yuan arrives in the Divine Realm, I will do my utmost to assist him in joining the Chaos Divine Court and strive to become part of its core circle,¡± Li Yuan also quickly made his vow according to the Law.


    Even if Li Yuan does not join the Chaos Divine Court in the future, it does not hinder the fulfillment of his oath.


    After all, doing one¡¯s utmost to help and striving¡­differs greatly from guaranteeing success.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Junior brother, let¡¯s first return to the Royal Capital, and then I will arrange things for you slowly,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Senior brother, wait,¡± Li Yuan said immediately: ¡°Before entering the Legacy Land, I had a companion who also entered the passage, and she should also be a descendant of senior brother¡­ I wonder if senior brother could help her survive?¡±


    Li Yuan still felt quite favorably towards Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°My descendant?¡±


    ¡°Let me have a look.¡± Jiang Yuan True God closed his eyes gently, but the aura he emitted became even more terrifying. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Not long after.


    ¡°Found her.¡± Jiang Yuan True God opened his eyes again: ¡°Her talent potential is also quite good; if ignored, she will likely die within the Legacy Land.¡±


    ¡°Alright, since junior brother asked, I will give her a chance at life.¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s hand, the clouds below immediately dispersed to both sides.


    Soon, a silver-armored young lady flew out from the clouds, still with fear and confusion on her face.


    The silver-armored girl landed, and at first glance, she saw Jiang Yuan True God and Li Yuan standing not far away.


    ¡°Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan was overjoyed, then, seeing another figure in green, her heart shook violently: ¡°The King?¡±


    ¡°`

 Chapter 774: 410: Divine Fire Palace

    Chapter 774: Chapter 410: Divine Fire Palace


    ¡°Is that really the King?¡± Jiang Xuan was shocked in her heart.


    Her talent was not bad; after only decades of cultivation, her Law Comprehension was so high that she could become a Demigod at any time, and in the future, she even had a slim chance of Becoming Pseudo-God. Plus, her father was the Mist Mountain King¡­ It could be said that her status in the Royal Family was quite high.


    Therefore, at that time, Jiang Lei was quite fearful of her.


    But even so, from her birth until now, she had never seen the ¡®Ancestor¡¯ of their own Divine Kingdom, only many videos and portraits.


    It was Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s terrifying aura that made her suspect.


    ¡°Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan.


    She roughly understood in her heart that she survived the Killing Formation just now, probably thanks to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan.¡± Li Yuan said softly, ¡°This is your Abyss Country¡¯s Jiang Yuan True God, the founder of the nation.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, greets the Ancestor.¡± Jiang Xuan hurriedly paid her respects respectfully.


    ¡°You are called Jiang Xuan, the daughter of little Jiang Wu?¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked down at Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Xuan replied obediently.


    Jiang Wu was indeed her father¡¯s name.


    ¡°Jiang Wu is very good, it¡¯s a pity.¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head.


    He had many descendants, but over tens of thousands of years, not many could Become Pseudo-God. Jiang Wu had reached the Pseudo-God Peak, which was quite extraordinary, so naturally, he had been summoned a few times and even received some guidance.


    Unfortunately, he fell not long ago.


    Source: , updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã?


    Hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help feeling saddened; she also didn¡¯t see her father often, but he was always the object of her reverence.


    ¡°Your elder brother is Jiang Shan? In the future, reaching your father¡¯s level should be possible, and even reaching the realm of True God is hopeful; your talent is also fairly good.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said indifferently, ¡°Your lineage is quite remarkable.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Ancestor, for the praise.¡± Jiang Xuan was delighted in her heart.


    The Ancestor!


    What a being was that? As is known, Jue Xing Continent possesses three thousand Divine Kingdoms, which also vary in strength, and undoubtedly, Abyss Country is a top-tier nation, with a resounding reputation. And the origin of all this is Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°I rescued you from the Blood Den not because you are a Royal Family of the Divine Kingdom.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°But because Xu Yuan asked, if you want to give thanks, give them to him.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s heart trembled, she guessed right.


    She was also quite shocked, ¡°Who exactly is Brother Xu, to be treated so equally by the Ancestor? Could it be, he is the disciple that surpasses the True God existences mentioned in the legends?¡± S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She couldn¡¯t fathom Li Yuan¡¯s identity.


    ¡°From now on, Xu Yuan will join our Abyss Country and become a member of the Divine Fire Palace of our Abyss Country.¡± Jiang Yuan True God continued, ¡°Do not reveal his relationship with me, do you understand?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Jiang Xuan understands.¡± Jiang Xuan quickly replied.


    She was a little puzzled in her heart; with Li Yuan¡¯s strength and status, why would he join the Divine Kingdom?


    But Jiang Xuan didn¡¯t ask more.


    ¡°Okay, you may leave now.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Once you reach the Royal Capital, after the Divine Fire Palace updates the roster, you can contact Xu Yuan again.¡±


    Jiang Xuan nodded, then paid another respectful gesture to Xu Yuan, ¡°Brother Xu, I¡¯ll see you in Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Swoosh!


    Jiang Xuan turned into a streak of light and quickly flew towards the city at the edge of heaven and earth.


    She did not ask about the whereabouts of Xu Guo and the others, as from her own experience, she knew that those servants were more likely to have bad luck than good.


    Ask Jiang Yuan True God? The fact that the Ancestor saved her was already because Brother Xu spoke up.


    To inquire further would be to act without understanding the situation.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan True God watched as Jiang Xuan flew away into the distance from the void.


    ¡°Junior Brother, my idea is to arrange for you to become a member of the ¡®Divine Fire Palace¡¯ of Abyss Country, and I will forge another origin for you, claiming you were born and raised in Abyss Country. With this identity, you will withstand any power¡¯s scrutiny.¡± Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan, ¡°How does this sound to you?¡±


    ¡°Then I must trouble Senior Brother.¡± Li Yuan expressed his thanks.


    With the identity issue resolved, he could travel the Jue Xing Continent with peace of mind.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God waved his hand again, and a luminous Crystal Stone flew out: ¡°Having just arrived on Jue Xing Continent, you are likely unfamiliar with the situation of the whole continent. This Crystal Stone contains some general knowledge about Jue Xing Continent¡­ Some secret messages I cannot tell you.¡±


    ¡°But it will be enough for you to understand Jue Xing Continent.¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke, ¡°Use it now.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s eyes lit up, he reached out to catch it, and with a movement of his Divine Sense, a huge amount of information emerged in his mind.


    An immense flood of information.


    Luckily!


    Li Yuan¡¯s Soul was now different than before, able to receive information much faster than in the past, and in just a few minutes, he had received all of the information.


    ¡°The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡±


    ¡°The Six Great Holy Lands! Three thousand kingdoms¡­¡± Li Yuan also finally understood enough about Jue Xing Continent.


    Vast and magnificent, full of wonders.


    Heavenly Gods stand at the Peak, either manipulating the continent in secret or heading to the more vast and magnificent Divine Realm.


    True Gods often command many Divines, stirring up war after war on the continent, conquering vast territories, and reigning supreme.


    Unceasing through billions of years.


    ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pill!¡±


    ¡°Ancestral Realm.¡±


    ¡°The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡± Li Yuan had keenly caught the core details amidst the complex information; all the grudges and entanglements on the entire Jue Xing Continent revolved around these three things.


    ¡°Correct!¡±


    ¡°As the teacher said, what makes our world different from the Divine Realm is the Jue Xing Divine Pill; this is the characteristic of Jue Xing Continent and is why the Star Meridians of the powerhouses in our world are generally stronger,¡± Jiang Yuan True God praised, ¡°And the place where Jue Xing Divine Pill comes from¡­ That is the Ancestral Realm! Exactly how it is born remains a mystery, even Teacher does not know, probably only the ¡®City Lords¡¯ of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities would know.¡±


    Li Yuan listened attentively.


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s information also only spoke of how miraculous the Jue Xing Divine Pill was, how did it come about? It remains a mystery.

 Chapter 775: 410 Divine Fire Palace_2

    Chapter 775: Chapter 410 Divine Fire Palace_2


    ¡°Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡±


    ¡°They are the sovereigns of the entire world, and their City Lords are Heavenly Gods generation after generation. Once they use Inheritance Divine Artifacts¡­ their strength skyrockets to a terrifying extent, far surpassing other Heavenly Gods, also cementing the status of the Starry Sky Ancient Cities.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°All the major Divine Kingdoms must pay a massive amount of wealth to the Ancient Cities and also send their elite to the cities for training¡­ Even the Six Great Holy Lands are not comparable.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    The Six Great Holy Lands are the major forces on the Jue Xing Continent, second only to the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, all founded by Heavenly Gods¡­ of course, whether there are still Heavenly Gods present in this generation remains a mystery.


    On the Jue Xing Continent, Heavenly Gods seldom take action.


    ¡°Like Teacher, who once had a conflict with a Heavenly God from the ¡®Changqing Ancient City¡¯.¡± Jiang Yuan True God sighed, ¡°In that battle, the City Lord of Changqing participated, using Inheritance Divine Artifacts¡­ It was two against one, and only then did Teacher lose and leave.¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly realized.


    Jue Xing Ancient City, Changqing Ancient City, Heavenly Snake Ancient City¡­ Among the three great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the first two are predominantly Human Race, while the latter is primarily led by the Divine Beast Clan powerhouses.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    ¡°The two parties actually do not have a life-and-death enmity; it was merely a contest for treasures, you need not worry too much.¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled, ¡°Moreover, if that Heavenly God wanted to take action, the primary target would be me.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s also why I haven¡¯t revealed that you and I are fellow disciples.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t reveal it, no one will know.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Having Jiang Yuan True God above him was indeed reassuring.


    ¡°I made you a member of Yuan Country for a key reason.¡±


    ¡°That is, Yuan Country is one of the core Divine Kingdoms of the Jue Xing Ancient City, with quotas for recommending entry to the ¡®Flying Heavenly Palace¡¯ and ¡®Semi-Divine Hall¡¯.¡± Jiang Yuan True God stated, ¡°It¡¯s only three months until the next round of recruitment for reserve members in the Jue Xing Ancient City. I will give you a slot¡­ with your strength, passing the assessments of the Jue Xing Ancient City should not be difficult.¡±


    Source: , updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À¦Ï.§ã¦Ï


    ¡°Once through, you will be a reserve member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°At that time, many issues will not bother you; you will be able to handle them yourself.¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled slightly, ¡°Among the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, Jue Xing Ancient City is the first, with numerous treasures targeting Flying Heaven Semi-Divine within¡­ such treasures might be hard to come by even in the Divine Realm. How much you can obtain depends on your own skills.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother.¡± Li Yuan sincerely expressed.


    Having someone high up really makes things easier!


    With Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s help, indeed much trouble was saved for him.


    ¡°In our world, the greatest opportunity is the Ancestral Realm Order.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°I failed to obtain it.¡±


    ¡°Only twelve years are left until the next Ancestral Realm Battle.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°Although you are extremely talented, your cultivation time is short. To seize it¡­ in any case, Junior Brother, I will help you.¡±


    ¡°But whether you can succeed ultimately depends on yourself.¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head, ¡°I cannot help you in the battle for the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    ¡°Senior Brother has already helped me a lot.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Li Yuan also vaguely understood.


    The arrangement by Jiang Yuan True God surely tested him¡­ even if he showed great talent, ascending to Heavenly God was not so simple.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Head to the Royal Capital of Yuan Country.¡± With a wave from Jiang Yuan True God, a warship suddenly appeared in the void.


    A True God Instrument! Li Yuan instantly sensed it.


    This warship was at least a True God Instrument.


    Whirring~ the hatch opened.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Following Jiang Yuan True God, Li Yuan immediately flew out from the warship, and as the warship started, it turned into a streak of silver light, reaching an incredible level.


    ¡°Li Yuan, the speed of this warship has reached one thousand kilometers per second,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice chimed in.


    Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    A second, flying thousands of kilometers? Such speed was too exaggerated, worthy of a True God Limit Expert.


    Furthermore, this speed of the warship might still not be its limit speed.


    Inside the Quiet Chamber of the warship.


    Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan True God were both sitting cross-legged in silence.


    ¡°Unexpectedly.¡±


    ¡°Among the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, one is the Heavenly Snake Ancient City. According to the information from Senior Brother Jiang Yuan, it seems to be controlled by the Heavenly Serpent Clan.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Serpent Clan still has a legacy in this world¡­ it¡¯s truly lamentable.¡±


    Involuntarily, Li Yuan thought of a possibility.


    ¡°Could Little Ice have been transported to the region where the Heavenly Snake Ancient City is located?¡± There was a hint of hope in Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Currently.


    Perhaps they were too far apart; for the moment, Li Yuan could not sense the soul aura of Liu Bing.


    ¡­


    After flying for several hours, crossing tens of millions of kilometers of land, the warship finally arrived at the Royal Capital of Yuan Country.


    Directly passing through the barriers, they entered the interior of the Royal Capital, where the speed of the warship also sharply decreased.


    ¡°Junior Brother.¡±


    ¡°This is my token. If something happens, you can communicate with me,¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled, ¡°If you face a life-threatening danger, you can even crush this token¡­ I will know immediately.¡±


    ¡°However, I hope you¡¯d best not crush this token.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Brother,¡± Li Yuan nodded. If he ever crushed the token, it would mean he couldn¡¯t withstand the danger, which in some sense would also mean a failure in the trial¡­ probably disappointing the other party.


    After storing the token,


    Whoo! Whoo!


    Li Yuan followed Jiang Yuan True God flying out from the warship, enabling a bird¡¯s-eye view of the entire Royal Capital of Yuan Country.


    ¡°What a huge city.¡± Li Yuan marveled silently, looking as far as the eye could see, the entire Royal Capital probably spanned thousands of kilometers, his vision barely reaching the edge.


    Truly vast!


    Perhaps, there are not many technological artifacts on the Jue Xing Continent, but in terms of prosperity, almost no city of the Seven Star Civilization could match the Royal Capital of Yuan Country.


    ¡°Junior, don¡¯t be too surprised.¡±


    ¡°The residences of the powerful often cover extensive areas because of their fast traveling speeds,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°This Royal Capital of Yuan Country likely harbors not just one True God, but also numerous Pseudo-Gods and Semi-Divine¡­ in the Divine Realm, many True God experts often occupy a whole planet as their lair.¡±

 Chapter 776: 410 Divine Fire Palace_3

    Chapter 776: Chapter 410 Divine Fire Palace_3


    Li Yuan understood.


    In the Mortal Domain, Pseudo-Gods were rare, and he realized some of his knowledge indeed needed revision.


    Sigh!


    Suddenly, a purple-robed elder flew over from not far away.


    ¡°King,¡± the purple-robed elder respectfully greeted.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, this is the Palace Master of the Divine Fire Palace, ¡®Sha Xi Pseudo-God,''¡± stated Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°I have seen Senior Sha Xi.¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Hello.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God smiled and nodded. He was still unsure of Li Yuan¡¯s status and did not dare to address him rashly.


    ¡°Sha Xi,¡± Jiang Yuan True God continued, ¡°Xu Yuan is a good friend entrusted to me. Let him join the Divine Fire Palace and, three months later, give him a slot to go to the Flying Heaven Realm of the Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°A slot to the Ancient City?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s eyes flickered with surprise. ¡°King, the slots have already been allocated.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God frowned, ¡°I said, give Xu Yuan a slot.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I will take care of it immediately,¡± responded Sha Xi Pseudo-God promptly.


    ¡°Additionally, do not reveal my relationship with Xu Yuan to anyone who asks. Treat Xu Yuan as you would any regular member of the Flying Heaven,¡± instructed Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Your subordinate understands,¡± replied Sha Xi Pseudo-God, realizing the King greatly valued this young man.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you follow Sha Xi Pseudo-God,¡± Jiang Yuan True God ordered.


    Source: , updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï


    Immediately.


    Sigh!


    With a step, Jiang Yuan True God disappeared into the thick clouds, at the end of which a towering palace was faintly visible.


    That was the Abyss Country Palace, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s residence, a place common Pseudo-Gods were not qualified to approach.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Yuan, come with me,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said with a smile, realizing this young man¡¯s identity might not be ordinary.


    What kind of existence is the King?


    He is second only to the Heavenly Divine on the entire continent¡­ Entrusted by a good friend? What kind of friend would make the King take such an interest?


    But with Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s order, he dared not to inquire further.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two shuttled through the void and clouds.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, ordinary Demigods cannot travel through the clouds of the Royal Capital; they must fly along the roads,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God explained, ¡°Only Divine beings or core members of my Abyss Country can shuttle freely through restricted areas.¡± S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The Divine Fire Palace is part of the core layer.¡±


    ¡°In my Abyss Country, one power is the Royal Family and another is Myriad Gods Palace, Divine Fire Palace,¡± explained Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    Li Yuan listened.


    He already knew these details. The Royal Family was the foundation of the Abyss Country, all descendants of Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s bloodline, but the number of Divine beings was actually not large, with just over a dozen Pseudo-Gods.


    And the Myriad Gods Palace consisted of Minister Gods who joined the Abyss Country, among which the True Gods numbered a few, and Pseudo-Gods were over a thousand¡­ showing the terrifying strength of Jiang Yuan True God.


    Ordinary True Gods would not have so many Pseudo-Gods following them.


    This did not even include the forces Jiang Yuan True God could mobilize in the Jue Xing Ancient City.


    The Divine Fire Palace represented the Flying Heaven Level and Demigod Level geniuses of the country¡­ implying that anyone who joined should aim to Light Divine Fire.


    Shortly after.


    The two reached a very vast palace; even the entrance was guarded by two Demigods leading many Flying Heaven Level protectors.


    ¡°Palace Master.¡± Many guards saluted.


    ¡°This is the new member of my Divine Fire Palace, ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God indicated Li Yuan and notably stated, ¡°He will be directly ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List. Is everyone clear?¡±


    ¡°Directly ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List?¡± the group of guards was secretly shocked.


    ¡°Greetings, Young Master Xu Yuan.¡± The guards bowed one after another, including the two Demigod Commanders.


    Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.


    Traveling through the Divine Fire Palace, Sha Xi Pseudo-God introduced Li Yuan to various places which aid Cultivation, teaching areas¡­ Clearly, as a place for cultivating the country¡¯s talents, the environment of the Divine Fire Palace was excellent.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°From now until you depart for the Jue Xing Ancient City, reside in this mansion,¡± said Sha Xi Pseudo-God, ¡°If you need anything, come find me.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, each member of the Divine Fire Palace, when first ranked in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List or Demigod List, will receive a gift.¡±


    ¡°This gift, I will have someone deliver it to you shortly,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior,¡± voiced Li Yuan, turning into a stream of light and entering the rather luxurious mansion.


    Inside the mansion, there were many servants, including two at the Flying Heaven Level, and the rest as Prime Warriors.


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡± The servants saluted one after another, having just received a message.


    ¡°Proceed as usual in the mansion, do not bother me,¡± stated Li Yuan, ¡°Unless it¡¯s something important, do not disturb me.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± the multitude of servants saluted.


    These servants, arranged by the Divine Fire Palace, could be commanded, punished, or even killed by him.


    Of course, if a servant was killed, a Divine Crystal penalty had to be paid.


    ¡°I am but a passerby in this Divine Fire Palace,¡± Li Yuan mused internally, and quickly proceeded to the depths of the mansion to the ¡®Quiet Chamber.¡¯


    Speedily.


    Li Yuan had initially refined the core of the mansion in the Quiet Chamber, directly activating the whole mansion¡¯s ¡®Origin Power Protection Array.¡¯


    Li Yuan had discovered.


    The technological artifacts of Jue Xing Continent were quite standard, but the application of Origin Power Secret Patterns was far superior to that of the Seven Star Civilization; in the Capital of Yuan Country, the presence of Origin Power Arrays could almost be felt everywhere.


    ¡°This Quiet Chamber, they really put effort into it,¡± meditated Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform inside, feeling his heart quickly calming down.


    The entire Quiet Chamber closed.


    ¡°Continue cultivating,¡± Li Yuan closed his eyes, continuing to ponder the fourth technique of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear¡± he just realized.


    ¡­Outside Li Yuan¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°I just ordered those guards to salute,¡± thought Sha Xi Pseudo-God, ¡°Soon, Lord Illusion will probably receive the message.¡±


    He, as the venerated Palace Master of the Divine Fire Palace, wouldn¡¯t perform irrelevant acts.


    ¡°His only son being deprived of a slot, this matter won¡¯t be easy to gloss over,¡± felt Sha Xi Pseudo-God with some helplessness.


    The Jue Xing Ancient City recruits a batch of Reserve Members only once every twenty years.


    And in the Abyss Country, there were in total only twenty slots, ten of which were Flying Heaven Level and ten were Demigod Level.


    Thus, the opportunities were precious, and many of Abyss Country¡¯s influential figures kept an eye on the slots.


    While on the surface it looked like capacity mattered most, behind the scenes, background connections were also very important.


    For his son to secure a slot, Lord Illusion had spent a considerable price.


    ¡°If the King directly issued an order, it would be fine, Lord Illusion would have nothing to say,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God mused internally, ¡°Regrettably, the King did not allow the news to spread.¡±


    ¡°And the King directly placed him on the list instead of going through a trial¡­ probably, this Xu Yuan¡¯s strength is mediocre,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God speculated, ¡°Hopefully, he can withstand it.¡±

 Chapter 777: 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace

    Chapter 777: Chapter 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace


    ¡°This Jue Xing Divine Pill has such a peculiar aura,¡± Li Yuan marveled as he gazed at the Jue Xing Divine Pill in his palm, exhaling an enticing fragrance that made him feel an irresistible desire to devour it completely.


    This alarmed Li Yuan.


    Although many exotic treasures contain a powerful origin that can exert a fatal attraction on life, even some poisons do this¡­ The stronger the life, the stronger the self-control, usually.


    ¡°In terms of self-control, I¡¯m not inferior to a Semi-Divine Limit Expert, yet it still provokes my inner desires,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°If an ordinary Flying Heaven Level cultivator were to see it, they¡¯d probably be unable to resist and swallow it immediately.¡±


    According to what Li Yuan knew, in the Divine Realm, some divinities that were extremely proficient in enticing techniques could easily stir people¡¯s innermost desires.


    Desire can make one lose their reason.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan silently observed, his Divine Sense trying to penetrate the Jue Xing Divine Pill, only to find it was fully integrated, impossible to permeate.


    ¡°I was naive indeed.¡±


    ¡°This Jue Xing Divine Pill is a magnificent treasure birthed by the Jue Xing Continent over the eons, an enigma even to Heavenly Divines, accessible only through continuous transmission from the Ancestral Realm¡­ Me, being in the Flying Heaven Realm, dreaming to unravel its secret, is somewhat foolish,¡± Li Yuan mumbled to himself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just use it.¡±


    Along with the delivery of the Jue Xing Divine Pill came the method for its use.


    And in the intelligence given by Jiang Yuan True God, there was an abundance of images and descriptions of the Jue Xing Divine Pill¡¯s appearance and usage methods.


    This allowed Li Yuan to confirm the Jue Xing Divine Pill in front of him was genuine.


    ¡°With instructions from Jiang Yuan True God, and it being the first time both Sha Xi Pseudo-God and I have seen it, there¡¯s no need to set a trap for me over this,¡± Li Yuan set aside many thoughts in his mind, calming himself down.


    The method of using the Jue Xing Divine Pill is quite different from that of ordinary elixirs.


    Other elixirs are simply taken orally or applied externally; should the body be unable to withstand the potency of the elixir, it would be harmed instead.


    But the method of using the Jue Xing Divine Pill is through refinement.


    ¡°The Divine Pill is like a vessel, only through refinement can one extract the essence,¡± Li Yuan conjured the trick to using the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    Refinement!


    ¡°Hum~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, mighty Origin Power merged with Soul Power, enveloping the Jue Xing Divine Pill in front of him like flowing water, attempting to leave a Spiritual Imprint on its surface.


    The next instant.


    ¡°Boom!¡± An invisible Soul Shock burst forth from the interior of the Jue Xing Divine Pill, striking directly at Li Yuan¡¯s soul within his mind, causing a slight change in his expression.


    Li Yuan¡¯s changed expression wasn¡¯t due to the strength of this Soul Shock being very powerful; in fact, it was quite ordinary, and didn¡¯t even shake Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    Like a gentle breeze brushing the face.


    The key was.


    ¡°The Thousand Heart Lotus Platform didn¡¯t react at all? Not the slightest response,¡± Li Yuan was secretly shocked, ¡°This Soul Shock directly strikes my Soul Origin? I must rely on my own soul and will to withstand the shock to successfully refine the Jue Xing Divine Pill?¡±


    The Soul Secret Treasure not taking effect was something Li Yuan had never encountered before.


    It was evidence of the unique nature of the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    ¡°Sss~¡± Resisting the invisible shock from the Jue Xing Divine Pill, Li Yuan successfully imprinted a Spiritual Mark.


    Immediately following.


    ¡°Swish~¡± The Jue Xing Divine Pill with purple patterns suddenly softened, and then swayed in the air like flowing water.


    This purple stream seemed to sense the direction of Li Yuan, directly flying towards him.


    ¡°The potency of the Jue Xing Divine Pill has been activated, if I don¡¯t use it, it will dissipate within ten seconds,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself; he was very clear about the particularity of Jue Xing.


    It must be refined by oneself in order to be used.


    After successful refinement, the Dan Water must be quickly integrated into the body, otherwise, it would be wasted.


    Thus, Li Yuan didn¡¯t resist.


    ¡°Swish~¡± The purple stream quickly permeated Li Yuan¡¯s skin and then fully merged into his limbs and bones, as if vanished without a trace.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan was astonished, in just one second, he could not find any trace of the Jue Xing Divine Pill within his body.


    ¡°Continue following the usage guide.¡±


    Li Yuan closed his eyes, his entire mental consciousness focused on that mysterious point within his body.


    That point, however, contained a vast starry sky.


    It was indeed the Life Starry Sky, with eight Star Meridians, like eight galaxies threading through the starry sky, shining off one another.


    And the hundreds of thousands of ¡®Unowned Life Stars¡¯ were scattered throughout the Life Starry Sky, unable to form a complete Star Meridian.


    These Unowned Life Stars were the Life Stars that Li Yuan had continuously awakened in the past.


    ¡°Inside every creature¡¯s body, there are hundreds and thousands of Star Meridians, each capable of awakening numerous Life Stars, but most of the Life Stars often fail to reach the threshold needed to form a Life Star Vein,¡± Li Yuan sensed throughout various parts of the Life Starry Sky, ¡°And each life can at most awaken ten Star Meridians.¡± (Chapter 149) S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This is the limit of Star Meridians that life can sustain.¡±


    As such, a great number of Unowned Life Stars are inevitable.


    This is also one of the reasons why it becomes increasingly difficult to awaken Star Meridians later on, Unowned Life Stars are useless¡­ but awakening them still requires a large amount of Soul Power.


    And before awakening, no one knows to which Star Meridian these Life Stars belong.


    Even when Li Yuan uses Spiritual Guidance, he can¡¯t make out the distinctions.


    Time passed, and after only a dozen or so seconds, Li Yuan awaited.


    ¡°Hum~¡± In the Life Starry Sky space, suddenly streams of mysterious airflow emerged, tinted a faint purple, extremely rarefied, and crossing the vast starry sky almost in the blink of an eye.


    They directly merged into Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    In an instant.


    Li Yuan felt his Perception Ability rapidly increasing, as if magnified by a hundred or a thousand times in a moment, in the wide Starry Sky, the previously indistinct sensations unable to distinguish Dead Stars from Life Stars among the unawakened stars¡­ at this moment, they all became distinguishable.

    Chapter 778: Chapter 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace_2


    ¡°`


    ¡°Buzz~¡±¡±Buzz~¡±¡±Buzz~¡± Subconsciously, Li Yuan¡¯s soul had already followed this intangible induction, rapidly awakening a large number of Life Stars.


    Whoosh~ This astonishing perceptual effect was fleeting.


    The next moment, Li Yuan¡¯s soul had already returned to normal, with everything just now feeling like a dream.


    But the awakening of over three hundred Life Stars¡­ that was indisputably real.


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°This! How is this possible?¡± A storm of shock surged in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°The peculiar power contained in the Jue Xing Divine Pill, it truly has the effect of Spiritual Guidance¡­¡±


    Just now, when he sensed that wisp of thin purple airflow in the Life Starry Sky, he had begun to doubt.


    Not until he used it, did he fully confirm.


    Having experienced Spiritual Guidance three times, Li Yuan was exceedingly clear about the power of this force.


    ¡°The effects of the Jue Xing Divine Pill are quite weak!¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Medicinal Power¡¯ produced by a Jue Xing Divine Pill is probably only one percent or even one-thousandth of a Spiritual Guidance.¡± Li Yuan judged.


    But thinking about it from another angle.


    If a person were to use thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills, then the cumulative effect might catch up to several bouts of ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯.


    ¡°Though Abyss Country is a first-rate nation and also one of the core Divine Kingdoms of the Jue Xing Ancient City, it is ultimately just a nation established by a True God¡­ Yet each of the top ten on the Flying Heaven List gets ten Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡± An idea emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    A bit of calculation is all it would take to know.


    If we look at the bigger picture, the entire Jue Xing Continent¡­ probably uses tens of thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills annually.


    Over the long years, the number of Jue Xing Divine Pills consumed would absolutely be astronomical in terms of quantity.


    ¡°For ordinary individuals at the Flying Heaven Realm and Demigods, Jue Xing Divine Pills are hard to acquire,¡± Li Yuan pondered. ¡°But for True Gods, obtaining a large number of Jue Xing Divine Pills should not be too difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan was most clear about the magic of Spiritual Guidance.


    Let alone thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills, even if tens or hundreds of thousands were consumed, if it could create a transcendent genius with the ¡®Second Rank Eight Star Veins,¡¯ it would absolutely be worth it.


    ¡°Powerhouses.¡±


    ¡°A super powerhouse is worth an ordinary strong person.¡± Li Yuan was very clear about this.


    A single powerhouse can change the destiny of a clan, of a civilization.


    ¡°But over the long years.¡±


    ¡°The powerhouses of Jue Xing Continent, while generally awakening stronger Star Meridians, are not ridiculously strong; the Nine Star Pulse remains a legend.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    Hence, there is only one reason!


    ¡°Normal individuals at Flying Heaven Realm and Demigods probably can¡¯t use thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡± Li Yuan flipped his hand, and another Jue Xing Divine Pill appeared in his palm.


    Guiding the Origin Power with his Divine Sense, he wrapped the Jue Xing Divine Pill once again, attempting Refinement.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    Almost identical to before, an invisible Soul Shock burst forth in an instant from the Jue Xing Divine Pill.


    ¡°Boom!¡± This Soul Shock, containing much greater Might than the last, disregarded the Defense of the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform and struck directly at the Soul Origin of Li Yuan.


    Rumbling~


    Li Yuan¡¯s soul and will were infinitely close to the Pseudo-God Level; the majority of the Demigods did not match him, so naturally, he could easily resist this Soul Shock.


    Before long.


    Using the power of this Jue Xing Divine Pill, Li Yuan once again awakened nearly three hundred Life Stars.


    The body is the source of the soul.


    Hence, the stronger the body, the stronger the soul will be.


    Likewise, once one steps into the Threshold of the Law, nurtured by the Law Origin, the soul often becomes stronger too.


    And will, related to one¡¯s experiences, is also connected to the strength of the soul.


    Li Yuan has been cultivating the ¡°Observing the Sun¡¯s Empty Heart Scripture¡±, and combined with his many experiences, he has forged such a terrifying soul and will.


    ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°Each one is the same.¡±


    ¡°But as described in intelligence reports, the more that are used, the stronger the Soul Shock becomes, growing stronger and stronger¡­ until the Soul Will cannot withstand the shock, then the Refinement fails.¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    On Jue Xing Continent, every strong individual has a limit to the number of Jue Xing Divine Pills they can use.


    This limit is the Soul Will!


    The stronger the Soul and Will, the more Jue Xing Divine Pills one can use!


    ¡°To awaken ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯ more times, likewise requires a high level of Soul Metamorphosis.¡± Li Yuan thought quietly: ¡°This Jue Xing Divine Pill is simply a super weakened version of ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯.¡±


    Even the ¡®purple airflow¡¯ transformed is suspected to be the same, it¡¯s just the quantity that is vastly different.


    Li Yuan¡¯s mind gave rise to many speculations and doubts.


    ¡°What exactly is the relationship between the Jue Xing Divine Pill and the Mind Spirit Divine Palace?¡±


    ¡°The Ancestral Realm¡­ Perhaps, if I could obtain an Ancestral Realm Order, I might be able to get some clues,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    At this moment, Li Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with a desire for the battle in the Ancestral Realm.


    Not just to fulfill the task of the unknown existence dressed in Purple Garment, not merely in pursuit of becoming Nine Star Pulse¡­ He wanted to uncover the secrets of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Where exactly does this greatest support for his rise come from?


    ¡­


    Li Yuan eventually suppressed the many thoughts in his heart: ¡°No need for more contemplation, if I want to snatch the Ancestral Realm Order, I must first make my strength stronger, my current power is still far from enough.¡±


    ¡°Use two more Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°Continue.¡± A gleam shone in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Over the years of becoming Flying Heaven Realm, without Spiritual Guidance, on the basis of the Eight Star Veins, he awoke tens of thousands of Life Stars himself, like the progression from the sixth to the eighth Star Vein, the density of the Star Meridians increased.


    But all in all, the rate of awakening is progressively slowing down.


    Even if it can¡¯t keep up with the ease that comes with Jue Xing Divine Pills?


    ¡­


    In the Royal Capital of Abyss Country.


    Just as Sha Xi Pseudo-God predicted, at the gates of the Divine Fire Palace, his seemingly unintentional exposure of Li Yuan¡¯s identity afterward.

    Chapter 779: Chapter 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace_3


    Within a very short period of time, news that ¡°A new member of the Flying Heaven Realm has joined the Divine Fire Palace and directly ranked in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List¡± spread rapidly within the Divine Fire Palace.


    A new member of the palace shouldn¡¯t have caused much of a stir,


    after all, there are nearly a thousand official members in the Divine Fire Palace.


    Among them, about two hundred are at the Flying Heaven Level, and over seven hundred are at the Semi-Divine Level¡­ but making it directly to the top ten of the Flying Heaven List, the meaning is entirely different.


    Especially when about to head to ¡®Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯, it draws even more attention.


    Purple Garment Marquis Mansion covers tens of kilometers.


    As a god from a different surname who was granted the title of marquis, it is quite rare and shows the strength of the Purple Garment Marquis in the Royal Capital by the sheer size of his estate.


    Among the thousands of Pseudo-Gods in Abyss Country, he is considered top-notch.


    Inside a palace within the marquis¡¯ estate.


    ¡°Damn it!¡±


    ¡°My spot has been taken?¡± The previously quite refined ¡®Leng Yan¡¯ suddenly changed his expression: ¡°The rankings were settled a month ago, how can they be changed?¡±


    ¡°I am not sure either, it was the Semi-Divine Guard ¡®Xue Mou¡¯ from the Divine Fire Palace who sent the message, and I reported to the Princely Heir immediately,¡± said the purple-garment woman hastily, bowing her head.


    He also secretly worried.


    Who could have imagined, with the spot already finalized, someone suddenly interrupted; this is very rare in the history of Abyss Country.


    If the Princely Heir becomes angry, that would be truly unjust.


    In the marquis¡¯ mansion, there are often servants killed by the Princely Heir¡­ many of whom are tortured to death.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Leng Yan¡¯s eyes were cold, a hint of malevolence flashing through.


    His temperament is naturally brutal. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His cultivation talent is quite extraordinary, and he is the only son of the Phantom Body Marquis in over two thousand years, extremely pampered.


    It can be said,


    among the Flying Heaven Level in Yuan Country Capital, there are those with higher talent, but almost none with a stronger background¡­ there are also children of gods among the Flying Heaven Level in the capital, but very few are only children.


    ¡°Only know the name Xu Yuan, not sure about the background,¡± said the purple-garment woman hastily.


    ¡°Xu Yuan? I haven¡¯t heard of any powerful Xu family princes or marquises in the capital,¡± Leng Yan frowned, many thoughts flashing through his mind.


    He is arrogant, but not foolish.


    There are Xu-named Pseudo-Gods in the capital, but none have the status or power like his background¡­ they couldn¡¯t possibly replace his spot directly.


    ¡°What¡¯s the background?¡± Leng Yan thought to himself: ¡°It seems I need to see my father.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Leng Yan flew out of the palace directly towards the deeper area of the marquis¡¯ mansion.


    Along the way, numerous Flying Heaven Guards and even some Semi-Divine Guest Elders respectfully saluted.


    As a Peak Pseudo-God, the Phantom Body Marquis has under his command over three hundred Semi-Gods, among which there is a large number of Semi-Divine Peaks.


    Quickly.


    Leng Yan arrived at a palace in the deeper parts of the marquis¡¯ mansion, empty and seemingly filled with a chill even in the air.


    Sigh!


    Leng Yan didn¡¯t use the main door, but faced and walked towards the column in front, just in the moment of impending collision, his entire person passed through, disappearing on the square.


    ¡°Mother¡¯s cultivation dwelling.¡±


    ¡°All true can be illusion, all illusion can also be reality, Illusion Technique has already reached the pinnacle, this is where the title ¡®Phantom Body Marquis¡¯ comes from,¡± Leng Yan thought to himself.


    He worships his mother immensely.


    Entering the grand hall, the interior decoration was quite elegant, just like a mountain and water villa.


    ¡°Mother,¡± Leng Yan called out loudly.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, why come to me so suddenly? What¡¯s the matter?¡± a gentle voice sounded, followed by ripples in the void, a palace-dressed woman appeared in Leng Yan¡¯s vision, her eyes full of doting.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to disturb mother¡¯s cultivation,¡± Leng Yan said respectfully, he was very well-behaved in front of his mother: ¡°But I¡¯ve just received a message, from the Divine Fire Palace¡­¡±


    Leng Yan quickly explained the situation without any exaggeration, merely describing the facts.


    He knew not to influence his mother¡¯s judgment.


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan? He took your spot? Can¡¯t someone else¡¯s spot be replaced?¡± the Phantom Body Marquis¡¯s face changed, a flicker of anger in her eyes: ¡°What a Sha Xi, such a big matter, and he didn¡¯t even tell me!¡±


    Leng Yan felt helpless inside, replacing someone else¡¯s spot?


    Although it¡¯s possible to manipulate the rankings in the top ten of both the Flying Heaven List and the Semi-Divine List privately¡­ but all these actions are done secretly, it couldn¡¯t be falsified publicly.


    His real strength was just barely making it to the top twenty among the Flying Heaven Level in the Divine Fire Palace¡­ managing to get to tenth was already the limit.


    Continue upward?


    The higher the ranking, the more likely errors would occur, especially since Jue Xing Ancient City would conduct another assessment later. If he was ranked fourth or fifth now¡­ it would be very easy to expose faults when reaching Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Even if it was just for a spot in Jue Xing Ancient City, there wasn¡¯t much difference between the tenth and the first of the Flying Heaven List.


    But who could have expected a Li Yuan to suddenly appear?


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, wait here.¡±


    Without any hesitation, the Phantom Body Marquis, enraged, immediately contacted Sha Xi Pseudo-God for clarification.


    As time trickled by.


    After a full two minutes.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er.¡±


    Purple Garment Marquis looked down at Leng Yan, solemnly saying, ¡°I¡¯ve made inquiries clearly. The replacement of the nominee was not Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s idea. It must have come from a higher authority and pressure.¡±


    ¡°A higher authority?¡± Leng Yan was shocked. ¡°Mother, could it be the King?¡±


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be.¡±


    ¡°If it were a direct order from the King, a command would have been sufficient to inform me,¡± said Purple Garment Marquis, shaking her head. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s one of the True Gods, or maybe a Pseudo-God who has spent a great deal of effort to secure a spot for their descendants.¡±


    Leng Yan couldn¡¯t help but nod.


    Within the Divine Kingdom, aside from the King, there exist several True Gods with high status¡­ it¡¯s also possible for those at the Pseudo-God Peak if they are willing to pay a huge price.


    ¡°Mother, what should I do?¡± Leng Yan couldn¡¯t hold back.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°That Xu Yuan definitely has a background, but we must still contend,¡± Purple Garment Marquis looked at her son and said, ¡°I can¡¯t intervene directly, but I will help you by finding the King. I also need a reason to do so.¡±


    ¡°A reason?¡± Leng Yan was startled.


    Immediately.


    Purple Garment Marquis revealed her plan, continuing, ¡°Yan¡¯er, this is an open strategy. As long as you succeed, I will have a sufficient reason.¡±


    ¡°Besides.¡±


    ¡°This is also a test for you, I can¡¯t protect you forever,¡± Purple Garment Marquis spoke gravely. ¡°Even if you go to Jue Xing Ancient City, whether you can Ascend to God in the future depends on yourself.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Leng Yan clenched his teeth and said, ¡°I will try my best.¡±


    He was also clear about the pros and cons.


    In Yuan Country, with his mother¡¯s protection, it¡¯s not difficult for him to become a Semi-Divine¡­ but in Jue Xing Ancient City, let alone Pseudo-Gods, even True Gods are numerous; his background counts for little.


    ¡°Mother, I¡¯m going now,¡± said Leng Yan as he swiftly left.


    Inside the palace, only Purple Garment Marquis was left.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s background, unspeakable?¡±


    ¡°Nevertheless, never think of assassinating Xu Yuan?¡± Purple Garment Marquis¡¯s eyes shifted as Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s warning echoed in her mind again.


    As Divine beings.


    When facing threats, their first thought is often to simply kill¡­ a dead man no longer poses a threat.


    Yet, against Xu Yuan, this tactic doesn¡¯t work.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan¡¯s background, it must be one of the True Gods,¡± Purple Marquis¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°But how does it matter if it¡¯s a True God? I am directly subordinate to the King as Prince¡­ as long as I follow the rules, even True Gods can do nothing against me.¡±


    Due to the practice of a special Secret Technique, it was extremely difficult for her to have children.


    Over two thousand years old!


    All she had is this son, Leng Yan; she wouldn¡¯t mind offending True Gods for his cultivation opportunities.


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Palace, inside Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    In the Quiet Chamber.


    He had refined and consumed all ten Jue Xing Divine Pills in one go.


    ¡°Ten Jue Xing Divine Pills, and they prompted nearly three thousand Life Stars to awaken in one go?¡± Sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform, Li Yuan marveled internally: ¡°The effect is truly astonishing.¡±


    Although it was far from the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    As Li Yuan¡¯s vision grew, he also realized how miraculous the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is¡­ even Heavenly Divines probably do not possess such an extraordinary item.


    What about the Jue Xing Divine Pill then? It continuously emerges, allowing countless cultivators to use it.


    ¡°However!¡±


    ¡°Each additional Jue Xing Divine Pill I consume, the Soul Shock becomes stronger, and the increase is not small,¡± Li Yuan thought secretly. ¡°Just ten pills, and I already felt the pressure from the Soul Shock.¡±


    Based on the increase in Soul Shock, Li Yuan felt that if he used about fifty or sixty Jue Xing Divine Pills, he would probably reach his limit.


    ¡°No wonder only ten Jue Xing Divine Pills were bestowed.¡±


    ¡°At the Flying Heaven Level, even the so-called top ten on the Flying Heaven List, most probably haven¡¯t awakened a Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ using the Jue Xing Divine Pill likely won¡¯t reach ten pills,¡± Li Yuan mumbled to himself.


    Li Yuan also realized that for top geniuses in Jue Xing Continent, to extensively use Jue Xing Divine Pills to assist in awakening Star Meridians¡­ they probably must wait to reach the Semi-Divine Level.


    ¡°But I¡¯m different.¡±


    ¡°I must find a way.¡±


    ¡°First, to obtain more Jue Xing Divine Pills,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shone with increasing desire, ¡°Second, to strive for a Soul Metamorphosis, reaching the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    ¡°Then, not only could the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening reach 100%, but I could also use more Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°Thus, my chances of becoming a Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    ¡°And possibly even a Ten-Star Meridian in the future as a Semi-Divine, will be greatly enhanced.¡± Li Yuan truly realized the opportunities in Jue Xing Continent.


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan was not in a hurry; having just arrived at the Divine Fire Palace, Jiang Yuan True God probably hadn¡¯t even properly forged his identity yet; there was no need to be too conspicuous.

 Chapter 780: 412: Demigod Eight Star Veins! First Meeting Jing Kui

    Chapter 780: Chapter 412: Demigod Eight Star Veins! First Meeting Jing Kui


    ¡°Jiang Shan?¡±


    Li Yuan said, ¡°I have heard of the Princely Heir Jiang Shan¡¯s fame, but I do not know why the Princely Heir would invite me?¡±


    ¡°If you do not state the reason, I am afraid I will not go.¡± Li Yuan said indifferently.


    Jiang Shan, the brother of Jiang Xuan, is also a top-tier genius with the God Level Seven Star Veins¡­ but what does this have to do with Li Yuan.


    The servants standing by were all somewhat surprised upon hearing this¡­ His Highness Jiang Shan, he is a significant figure in the Royal Capital.


    Their own master actually refused?


    ¡°What? Not going?¡± A servant from the Royal Mansion was also startled.


    Though he addressed him as ¡®Young Master Xu Yuan¡¯, he actually appeared quite arrogant.


    In his view, an invitation from their lord is coveted by many in the Royal Capital, and a member of Divine Fire Palace at Flying Heaven Level would probably be thrilled to accept the invitation.


    ¡°Young Master Xu Yuan.¡± The servant frowned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for the harsh words, but our lord is¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Suddenly, a reprimanding voice arose, followed by a flash of silver light flying in through the mansion¡¯s main gate: ¡°I asked you to respectfully invite Xu Yuan, what are you doing?¡±


    ¡°Your Highness! How did you come here?¡± The servant was stunned.


    The person who arrived was Jiang Xuan, her face full of anger.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan.¡± Li Yuan showed a hint of a smile, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡±


    Seeing Jiang Xuan, Li Yuan roughly understood the reason behind Jiang Shan¡¯s invitation.


    ¡°Brother Xu, I apologize.¡± Jiang Xuan looked remorseful, ¡°There are many things I can¡¯t fully explain to my brother, please don¡¯t blame¡­ just now I was worried about this servant¡¯s strange behavior, so I rushed over immediately.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Li Yuan knew that Jiang Xuan was kind but also extremely clever; she probably wouldn¡¯t reveal too much even under the commands of Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Brother Xu saved me, and my brother has already come to know of it, thus he wants to host the banquet to express his gratitude, that¡¯s all.¡± Jiang Xuan said expectantly, ¡°I hope Brother Xu can honor us with his presence.¡±


    The bystanders were all agape.


    Jiang Xuan? Many here did not actually recognize her, but that did not prevent them from understanding that she must be Jiang Shan¡¯s sister, assuredly also a royal lady.


    So polite towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Who is this Xu Yuan, and what is his significance?¡± The Royal Mansion servant was even more flustered.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, then lead the way,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    He just happened to have some matters to inquire about.


    Though capable of asking Jiang Xuan True God for help¡­ if he needed her assistance for everything, he would likely be looked down upon.


    ¡°Brother Xu, please.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll lead the way.¡±


    Saying this, she glanced at the servant, ¡°Go back to the mansion and accept your punishment!¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Young Master Xu Yuan,¡± the servant quickly responded, secretly relieved.


    This was already the lightest punishment.


    Following this, Jiang Xuan led the way, and Li Yuan flew out of the mansion, heading outside the Divine Fire Palace.


    But they did not notice.


    Within the Divine Fire Palace, several pairs of eyes were fixated on Li Yuan¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°Quickly report to the Princely Heir, tell him that Xu Yuan has left the mansion, following ¡®Princess Jiang Xuan¡¯ from the Mist Mountain Mansion, unknown where they are heading.¡±


    ¡°Send someone to follow.¡±


    ¡­


    Yuan Country Capital, immensely vast.


    Each street was extremely wide, and the ground was lavishly paved, all emanating strong spiritual energy, while many luxurious buildings were built upon the clouds, filled with a mystical beauty.


    A massive black dragon, moving along the cloudy streets, with many smaller black dragons following.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been rushing these past few days, purposely taking a God Level Warship, just to rush back to the Royal Capital.¡± Jiang Xuan said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Brother Xu to have arrived much earlier, and even directly joined the Divine Fire Palace.¡±


    ¡°With Brother Xu¡¯s strength, taking the first place on the Flying Heaven List would be effortless.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled, ¡°Being merely tenth on the Flying Heaven List is an understatement.¡±


    Jiang Xuan had personally witnessed Xu Yuan in action.


    ¡°It was directly arranged, just a nominal status.¡± Li Yuan said, the difference between ranking first and tenth was not significant.


    ¡°This Black Dragon Puppet Mount is quite nice,¡± Li Yuan stood on the Black Dragon, smiling. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This is one of the mounts gifted by the King to my father, its value is comparable to a Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact.¡± Jiang Xuan explained at one side, ¡°Within the Royal Capital, only princes and commanders can use it.¡±


    Li Yuan slightly nodded, having read many reports, he also knew the strict hierarchy within the Divine Palaces.


    Even if one owned treasures, one must have high enough status to use them.


    ¡°Brother, someone is following us,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan, sitting on the Jade Platform, glanced back, the person, despite hiding their presence, was still noticed.


    ¡°What is it, Brother Xu?¡± Jiang Xuan asked, puzzled.


    ¡°A small matter, someone is following us,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Following?¡± A hint of anger appeared on Jiang Xuan¡¯s face, her mind moved, and she quickly lifted the ¡®Sound Barrier Formation¡¯ from their area, turned her head, and said, ¡°Commander Mo, someone is following us, please check immediately.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± A Half-God Commander standing behind them immediately bowed.


    ¡°Third squad, follow me.¡± Commander Mo commanded.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two Half-Gods and several dozens of Flying Heaven Peak individuals immediately turned into streaks of light and rushed towards the back of the group.


    After a short while,


    Commander Mo returned with his troops, his face quite solemn.


    ¡°Reporting to Your Highness, we have found out that the followers are from the Virtual True Marquis Mansion, as for the reason for following, they did not reveal, and I did not dare to confront them, I await your punishment, Your Highness,¡± Commander Mo bowed.


    ¡°Virtual True Marquis Mansion?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, she waved her hand, ¡°I understand, it¡¯s correct not to confront, Commander Mo, you may step back now.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Commander Mo retreated quite a distance.


    The formation was once again activated, making these guards unable to hear Li Yuan and Jiang Xuan¡¯s conversation again.


    ¡°Brother Xu, it¡¯s probably targeted at you,¡± Jiang Xuan spoke softly.


    ¡°Targeted at me?¡± Li Yuan was curious, he had just arrived at the Royal Capital and should not have offended anyone.

    Chapter 781: Chapter 412 Demigod Eight Star Veins! First Encounter with Jing Kui_2


    ¡°The one you¡¯re replacing in the tenth spot of the Flying Heaven List is ¡®Leng Yan¡¯ from the Illusionary Manor, a scoundrel who acts maliciously under the protection of his mother¡¯s background.¡± There was a hint of disgust on Jiang Xuan¡¯s face.


    She disliked such spoiled young masters the most.


    ¡°Leng Yan?¡± Li Yuan laughed: ¡°Jiang Xuan, tell me about this Illusionary Manor.¡±


    In the information Li Yuan had obtained, there was nothing about the Illusionary Manor.


    After all, with the countless deities in the Jue Xing Continent, it¡¯s impossible for Jiang Yuan True God to remember them all.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Jiang Xuan nodded repeatedly.


    Time passed.


    Li Yuan also learned about the details of the Illusionary Manor, and its relation to him.


    ¡°So, the people of Illusionary Manor are following me because they think I¡¯ve stolen Leng Yan¡¯s spot?¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    It was not surprising that they hated him because of this.


    If he were in their shoes, and his spot was suddenly snatched, he would probably be very upset too.


    ¡°This spot of Leng Yan, he got it by underhanded methods, it¡¯s better that big brother Xu snatched it,¡± Jiang Xuan continued: ¡°Besides, what qualifications does he have to compete with big brother Xu? A fool!¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for his mother¡¯s protection, who knows how many people would want to kill him,¡± said Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Big brother Xu, rest assured.¡±


    ¡°No matter how much the Lord of Illusionary Manor dotes on Leng Yan, he wouldn¡¯t dare to confront you directly,¡± Jiang Xuan said: ¡°Inside the Royal Capital, besides some special places, slaughter is strictly forbidden, and you are a member of the Divine Fire Palace¡­ everything is governed by the laws of the Divine Kingdom.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, but he didn¡¯t take it seriously.


    The laws of the Divine Kingdom?


    Laws also look at the person; if a True God Peak takes action, these laws become nothing but paper.


    ¡°We must be careful, do not leave the Royal Capital for now,¡± Li Yuan said to himself: ¡°Even exiting the Divine Fire Palace should be limited.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t grasp the temperament of the Lord of Illusionary Manor.


    Li Yuan would not bet his ¡®life¡¯ on the possible protection of Jiang Yuan True God.


    If a Peak of Pseudo-God wished to kill him, a sudden strike would be enough.


    Not even a Heavenly Divine might come in time to save him.


    ¡°Big brother Xu, that is the Nine Sound Building,¡± Jiang Xuan pointed toward the vast complex of buildings in the distance and said: ¡°Built by the Nine Sounds True God, it is also the most extravagant place in the Royal Capital, with all kinds of pleasures available.¡±


    ¡°Uh-huh.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, with a trace of emotion in his heart.


    At a glance, the Nine Sound Building covered hundreds of kilometers, with nine towers being the most dazzling, each thousands of meters tall.


    It was the most splendid complex of buildings Li Yuan had ever seen.


    ¡°Truly worthy of the Nine Sounds True God.¡± Li Yuan smiled, this true god was one of the true bodies following Jiang Yuan True God, reputed to be extremely skilled in the way of music, according to the information.


    Whoosh~


    The massive team of black dragon puppets, like a streak of light, flew directly towards one of the main towers.


    This scene made many guests entering and exiting the Nine Sound Building couldn¡¯t help but look up.


    According to the rules of the Nine Sound Building, being able to fly in directly was very rare.


    ¡°It¡¯s the entourage of the Mist Mountain King¡¯s Mansion,¡± someone recognized.


    ¡°Mist Mountain King? The royal king who fell? Still maintains so much pomp?¡±


    ¡°Quiet! What do you know? Mist Mountain King might be dead, but his son ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯ is widely acknowledged to have the potential of his father, hence the royal family hasn¡¯t even reclaimed the title of king, just waiting for Prince Jiang Shan to ascend to godhood and inherit the position of Mist Mountain King.¡± Much well-informed chatter went around in different towers.


    ¡°Welcome, Princess Jiang Xuan.¡±


    ¡°Respectfully greeting young master Xu Yuan.¡± Along with thousands of maids and servant, most are just Prime Warriors, but there were also dozens of Flying Heaven Level, standing on their respective puppet flying discs, forming a passageway on either side of the procession, bowing with respect.


    Black dragon as a seat, the void as a corridor.


    Even for someone with broad horizons like Li Yuan, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart.


    Such extravagance!


    No wonder it dares to be known as the top Land of Enjoyment of a formidable Divine Kingdom.


    Looking out from the four corners of the towers, many heard the welcoming voices and immediately showed a curious look: ¡°Young master Xu Yuan? Who is Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Never heard of him!¡±


    ¡°I seem to remember hearing about it, yesterday, the Flying Heaven List of the Divine Fire Palace was updated, a new name appeared in the tenth spot, named Xu Yuan, is that him?¡±


    ¡°Possibly!¡±


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, could he be related to the Mist Mountain King¡¯s Mansion?¡± Many of the pleasure-seekers in the Nine Sound Building, a lot of them were middle to high-level individuals in the Abyss Country, started pondering this.


    And in one of the large towers, at the top floor hall by the window, was just the right position to see the black dragon entourage pass by.


    Inside the hall.


    ¡°Young master Xu Yuan?¡± The young man in the black robe revealed a playful look: ¡°Is it Jiang Shan who is hosting the banquet?¡±


    Boom!


    His Divine Sense spread out vigorously, pouring directly into the head of that black dragon puppet, attempting to make an Inquiry.


    Although the black dragon puppet was protected by many prohibitions, the layers of protection clearly couldn¡¯t stop the black-robed youth.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°Divine Sense?¡± Li Yuan on the black dragon puppet immediately sensed something and struck back with his own Divine Sense.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Two powerful Divine Senses collided instantly.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Level Soul? A Pseudo-God?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, realizing he was at a disadvantage, he couldn¡¯t help but look towards the top of the pavilion.


    He happened to catch sight of the black-robed youth looking down through the window, their gazes meeting.


    ¡°[Target Life Level 48.9, elimination yields Spirituality Nourishment]¡± Li Yuan used Divine Palace Exploration and learned some information about the other party.


    A Demigod with Eight Star Veins? Li Yuan was taken aback.


    Where did this extraordinary being spring from?


    According to the information Jiang Yuan True God provided him, Abyss Country didn¡¯t have such a prodigious monster¡­ Even looking at the entire Jue Xing Continent, such prodigious monsters should be the top geniuses of their generation.


    Moreover, how could a Demigod possess a Pseudo-God Level Soul?


    It¡¯s known that further down the path of cultivation, it becomes increasingly difficult for the soul to undergo transformation, making surpassing one¡¯s own realm even more challenging.


    ¡°At least from the perspective of Star Meridian and Soul Level, this guy is no less than the Dongfang Alliance Leader,¡± Li Yuan thought in awe.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with a Soul Will nearly at the Pseudo-God Level?¡± The black-robed youth was also surprised.


    Although he had an absolute advantage in the clash of Divine Senses, it wasn¡¯t a significant one.


    Clearly, the opponent¡¯s Soul Will was exceptionally strong.


    ¡°Interesting, such a powerful Flying Heaven Level, there aren¡¯t many like this in Jue Xing Ancient City,¡± the black-robed youth mused in awe.


    He couldn¡¯t resist sending a telepathic message: ¡°Brother, such a strong Soul Will, are you called Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°The senior¡¯s Soul is even stronger,¡± Li Yuan responded politely.


    He had no doubt that this mysterious Demigod was definitely a terrifying existence capable of contending with a Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Haha, I have just cultivated for longer years,¡± the black-robed youth said with a smile, and continued to telepathically communicate: ¡°Xu Yuan, I will remember you. My name is Jing Kui, we will meet again in Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    And with that,


    The black-robed youth turned away and vanished from Li Yuan¡¯s sight.


    ¡°Jing Kui?¡± Li Yuan silently noted the name, which was not mentioned in any of Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s intelligence.


    But judging from the other party¡¯s words, he should be one of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s ¡®top geniuses¡¯.


    ¡°Jue Xing Continent indeed has hidden dragons and crouching tigers,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°If I wish to lay claim to the Ancestral Realm Order, there is still a long path ahead of me.¡±


    With only twelve years left until the battle for the Ancestral Realm.


    Perhaps this mysterious ¡®Jing Kui the Demigod¡¯ would participate in the battle.


    ¡°Big Brother Xu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Xuan asked curiously. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Nothing,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Except for the two who clashed, no one else noticed the incident with the Divine Senses.


    ¡­


    Inside Marquis Mansion Huanzhen.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, has he finally deigned to show himself?¡±


    Leng Yan listened to his subordinate¡¯s report, his eyes cold: ¡°I thought he would always hide in Divine Fire Palace, in that case, it would be difficult for me to deal with him.¡±


    ¡°My lord, they are heading to Nine Sound Building,¡± the black-robed elder beside him hesitated to say: ¡°According to intelligence, it seems Prince Jiang Shan is entertaining Xu Yuan, should we be more cautious?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan¡¯s banquet?¡±


    Leng Yan sneered: ¡°Xu Yuan managed to take my spot, perhaps Jiang Shan is behind this, no wonder he¡¯s sneaking around¡­ he must not dare to confront my mother directly.¡±


    ¡°Inform the others, follow me to Nine Sound Building,¡± Leng Yan said in a low voice.


    ¡°But, Jiang Shan¡­¡± the black-robed elder couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Others may fear Jiang Shan, but I do not,¡± said Leng Yan, his eyes cold: ¡°Mist Mountain King respected my mother to some extent even when he was alive, let alone now that Mist Mountain King has passed away.¡±


    ¡°How can I shrink back when Xu Yuan has cut my cultivation opportunity.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Leng Yan stepped out of the hall, soon after soared into the sky, as a Blue Dragon Warship floated over from a distance.


    Many figures also flew out from all over the Marquis Mansion and entered the Warship.

 Chapter 782: 413: Inside the Silent Sound Pavilion

    Chapter 782: Chapter 413: Inside the Silent Sound Pavilion


    Nine Sound Building.


    Li Yuan had been led by Jiang Xuan to the top layer of the most core ¡®Silent Sound Building¡¯.


    This layer of the hall covered nearly a kilometer in radius, with various rare and exotic decorative items dazzling to the eye, but it wasn¡¯t a mere pileup; it was meticulously designed, resembling a fairyland.


    In the center of the main hall, like a small lake, the mist and ripples were immense. In the middle of the lake, numerous dancing girls were gracefully dancing, all of them at Flying Heaven Level with enchanting figures.


    The most eye-catching was a purple-garment musician, infusing Origin Power into multiple musical instruments.


    The combination of sounds from these instruments elicited an extremely unique and infectious power of music.


    It even touched Li Yuan¡¯s heart.


    Next to him, Jiang Xuan, as well as the faces of those at Flying Heaven Level in separate Quiet Chambers around the hall, all had a look of fascination.


    Clearly, the music had a significant impact on them.


    ¡°Hmm? A Semi-Divine Musician?¡± A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes. Such a musician, definitely a strong person adept at Soul Attacks, would be willing to serve as a musician here?


    ¡°Big Brother Xu, the music here is extraordinary, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Jiang Xuan whispered softly, ¡°Silent Sound Building is the place in Nine Sound Building where music reaches the peak of beauty, capable of touching the soul of life. Some weaker individuals might even cry uncontrollably.¡±


    Li Yuan could not help but smile.


    Touch the soul of life? That phrase was too exaggerated.


    But Li Yuan had to admit that the musicians of Nine Sound Building were indeed extraordinary.


    ¡°Big Brother Xu, this way please.¡± Jiang Xuan led Xu Yuan to the entrance of the largest elegant room. There were several Semi-Divine guards at the door.


    Their attire was not much different from Commander Mo, evidently, they were guards of the Mist Mountain King¡¯s Palace.


    ¡°Your Highness, Young Master Xu Yuan.¡± A few Semi-Divine guards respectfully saluted.


    A young man in silver armor proactively walked over.


    ¡°Big brother, Xu Yuan has arrived.¡± Jiang Xuan went forward to introduce: ¡°Xu Yuan, this is my elder brother ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, Brother Xu Yuan, welcome.¡± The silver-armored young man smiled, ¡°Just a few days ago, I heard Sha Xi Pseudo-God gave the order, directly naming you the tenth on the Divine Fire Palace Flying Heaven List. I was curious who it was. Today, after my sister returned, I learned that you¡¯ve already met in advance.¡±


    The silver-armored young man displayed extraordinary heroism, inherently possessing a noble aura, like a refined noble son with a warm and convincing smile on his face.


    This was the current top talent of the Royal Family of Abyss Country, ¡®Jiang Shan¡¯.


    ¡°I¡¯ve long heard of the renowned name of Prince Jiang Shan. Seeing you today, your reputation is well-deserved.¡± Li Yuan said politely.


    The strength and status of the other party were extraordinary, and making his acquaintance would indeed be beneficial to Li Yuan¡¯s endeavors on the Jue Xing Continent.


    Hoo! Hoo!


    Two more figures emerged from the elegant room, one dressed in a black robe with a burly figure exuding a rather domineering presence.


    The other wore a white robe, his long hair casually draped over his shoulders, showing a certain carefree spirit.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    Jiang Shan said with a smile, pointing to the burly man in the black robe, ¡°Let me introduce him to you, this is Baili Teng, a good friend of mine. His father is the Marquis Xuanhe, but he has chosen not to rely on his father¡¯s prestige, relying solely on his own strength to be ranked among the top ten on our Abyss Country¡¯s Semi-Divine List, and is on the verge of achieving Pseudo-God level. Three months from now, he will also go to Jue Xing Ancient City, so I thought we should get acquainted in advance.¡±


    ¡°Baili Teng?¡± Li Yuan noted silently.


    On the way here.


    Li Yuan and Jiang Xuan talked along the way, and he learned the identities of the two individuals attending the banquet today, both of whom were quite exceptional.


    And Li Yuan also learned that among the public Semi-Divine in Abyss Country, there were only two with Seven Star Veins, ranked first and second on the Semi-Divine List.


    And to stand out from the several hundred thousand Semi-Divine in Abyss Country and to be ranked in the top ten on the Semi-Divine List, one¡¯s strength was extraordinary indeed.


    At the very least, they all had Six Star Pulse and mastered the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, and their Law Comprehension generally reached Pseudo-God Level¡­ All in all, those who were ranked in the top ten of Abyss Country¡¯s Semi-Divine List, even if their strength hadn¡¯t reached the threshold of Pseudo-God level, the difference was generally not significant.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, nice to meet you.¡± Baili Teng said in a deep voice.


    ¡°Brother Baili.¡± Li Yuan was very polite, with the other being so cordial, he had to be the same.


    In terms of strength, he was still far from matching the other.


    ¡°This one is also a good friend of mine, Yan Long.¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile, ¡°He is the son of ¡®Yan Qing Pseudo-God,¡¯ my father¡¯s lifelong friend. His own strength is also quite remarkable.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡± Yan Long in a white robe, casually nodded.


    ¡°Brother Yan Long.¡± Li Yuan also nodded slightly, his senses were extremely sharp, weren¡¯t they? This Yan Long Semi-Divine seemed to have a hint of hostility, even though he hid it well, but it was still captured by Li Yuan.


    Hostility?


    He should not have offended him.


    Soon, everyone took their seats, and then various exquisite delicacies were continuously presented.


    ¡°Today¡¯s banquet is mainly to congratulate Brother Xu Yuan on reaching the top ten of the Flying Heaven List, with a bright future ahead,¡± Jiang Shan said with a sigh and a smile, ¡°Secondly, it is to thank Brother Xu Yuan for extending a helping hand to my sister in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡±


    ¡°It was merely a trivial effort,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Baili Teng asked curiously, ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, you also saved Jiang Xuan? I heard that the Abyss Demon Blood Den had another blood catastrophe; to be able to survive such a crisis, Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s strength must be extraordinary.¡±


    ¡°The Semi-Divine-level Ferocious Beasts that died at the hand of Big Brother Xu are not few.¡± Jiang Xuan said with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s also due to luck,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    This was what Jiang Xuan told Li Yuan on the way here.


    She didn¡¯t reveal Li Yuan¡¯s true strength, not even to her elder brother, Jiang Shan, only mentioning that Li Yuan has the prowess to slay a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast.


    At the Flying Heaven Level, to slay a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast is rare, yet there are still some in Abyss Country who can achieve it.


    After all, a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast is just a threshold to Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, slaying a Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beast is quite impressive,¡± Yan Long in white chuckled casually: ¡°But the most dangerous entity in the Abyss Demon Blood Den is the Blood Demon. Should you encounter a Blood Demon, Xu Yuan, you might¡­ Haha, luck is also a form of strength.¡±


    ¡°To survive indeed means good luck,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°However, I am a straightforward person and my words may come off as harsh,¡± Yan Long shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll just say it straight ¨C if that¡¯s all the strength you have, you better be careful when facing life-and-death trials in Jue Xing Ancient City. You might not be as lucky then, and you could end up dying there.¡±


    Everyone was momentarily stunned.


    No one was a fool; they could all hear the implied meaning behind Yan Long¡¯s words.


    ¡°Hmm, I will be careful,¡± Li Yuan smiled and did not wish to continue this line of conversation.


    Although unclear on why Yan Long was hostile towards him, at this new arrival, verbal disputes were pointless.


    Li Yuan did not mind Yan Long¡¯s words, yet Jiang Xuan beside him frowned, ¡°Yan Long, what¡¯s with you today? If you admit you can¡¯t speak nicely, then speak less.¡±


    She didn¡¯t care about Yan Long¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°Haha, I am straightforward, Xu Yuan brother won¡¯t mind,¡± Yan Long laughed hehe.


    ¡°I mind,¡± Jiang Xuan glared.


    Yan Long was taken aback.


    ¡°Enough,¡± Jiang Shan spoke up: ¡°Jiang Xuan, Yan Long is your elder brother too¡­ Xu Yuan, brother Yan Long is straightforward, I apologize on his behalf and hope for your understanding.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s no trouble, brother Yan Long is speaking the truth,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    Li Yuan had already roughly figured out the relationships among the people present.


    Jiang Shan, a leading figure among the younger generation of the Royal Family.


    Baili Teng, with a strong background and formidable personal strength, probably a person Jiang Shan wishes to court and befriend.


    As for Yan Long, he¡¯s likely also someone Jiang Shan wants to draw in, not for his strength, but due to his father.


    ¡°Yan Long¡¯s father was probably very close to Mist Mountain King before, but Mist Mountain King is dead,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Does Jiang Shan hope to continue receiving support from Sha Xi Pseudo-God?¡±


    ¡°And me?¡±


    ¡°This Jiang Shan, while probably genuinely grateful to me, probably also has intentions of winning me over,¡± Li Yuan thought with many ideas flashing through his mind.


    Time passed.


    Yan Long didn¡¯t say anything further, and everyone else seemed to be in cheerful conversation, as if the earlier unpleasantness hadn¡¯t happened.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Yan Long may appear joyful, but internally he was very displeased: ¡°This Xu Yuan, I don¡¯t know what kind of dumb luck he has to have Sha Xi Pseudo-God intervene, taking Leng Yan¡¯s place and earning the qualification to go to Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ Was it Jiang Shan who helped him? My father has paid such a price yet couldn¡¯t secure a spot for me.¡±


    Yan Long was quite unhappy with Li Yuan.


    In his eyes, while Li Yuan¡¯s strength was decent, he probably couldn¡¯t make the top ten of the Flying Heaven Level.


    Moreover, given that the quota was already fixed and still got replaced, clearly there was someone influential behind it.


    What about Yan Long?


    In the Royal Capital, he seemed to prosper on the surface, but given his limited cultivation talents, with his father¡¯s help, reaching the peak of Semi-Divine was his limit; he had no chance to go to Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°This Jiang Xuan girl too, seemingly enchanted by this Xu Yuan,¡± Yan Long muttered darkly: ¡°Hmph, so what if he got a spot? Of the Flying Heaven Level who go to Jue Xing Ancient City, looking over the entire continent, how many can truly join Jue Xing Ancient City each time?¡±


    ¡°Even Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t join Jue Xing Ancient City at the Flying Heaven Level back in the day? This Xu Yuan is probably going to die there,¡± Yan Long thought secretly to himself.


    But these thoughts, he dared only to keep to himself.


    After all, this was a banquet organized by Jiang Shan, and he certainly didn¡¯t want to truly anger him. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    The music and dance at Nine Sound Building were captivating.


    In the private chambers, Li Yuan continued to exchange information with Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, also learning of matters previously unknown to him.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, is it extremely difficult to join Jue Xing Ancient City directly?¡± Li Yuan was rather surprised.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Baili Teng nodded: ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City recruits Reserve Members, usually if they are Semi-Divine; they rarely recruit Flying Heaven Level, and the requirements are extremely stringent. Both Jiang Shan and I were at the Flying Heaven Level back then and tried, but we both failed the selection.¡±


    ¡°Even Jiang Shan was not selected?¡± Li Yuan was astonished.


    ¡°Just missed it,¡± Jiang Shan shook his head: ¡°Under normal circumstances, it¡¯s rare for our Abyss Country to have even one Flying Heaven Level joining Jue Xing Ancient City in hundreds of years¡­ Of course, Flying Heaven Level members going to take the trials will also encounter some opportunities.¡±


    ¡°In any case, the longer you hold out, the more benefits you¡¯ll receive,¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°By then, after you reach Semi-Divine, if you want to join Jue Xing Ancient City again, your chances will be much greater.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.


    It seemed that neither Jiang Shan nor Baili Teng believed he could join Jue Xing Ancient City directly.


    Suddenly.


    Rumble~ At the entrance of this hall level, suddenly over a dozen figures emitting an extraordinary aura, accompanied by a young man in a black robe, walked into the hall.


    ¡°Where is brother Xu Yuan? Leng Yan specially comes to visit,¡± a gentle voice instantly reverberated throughout the hall.


    This voice seemed mild, yet was very domineering, directly overpowering the sound of instruments and immediately catching the attention of guests in every private chamber.

 Chapter 783: 414: A Slap! Famous from One Battle (Extra for Nuan Yang 1314 Metal Alliance)

    Chapter 783: Chapter 414: A Slap! Famous from One Battle (Extra for ¡®Nuan Yang 1314¡¯ Metal Alliance)


    Leng Yan¡¯s voice was loud and powerful, echoing inside the Nine Sound Building, seemingly gentle, yet it made everyone in various private rooms sense something was amiss.


    Visit?


    If it were a visit, why would the need be there to be so loud?


    ¡°Leng Yan? Is that the only son of the Illusion True Lord, how come he suddenly came over, looking for Xu Yuan, who is Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, I think I just heard, he is the newcomer who ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List.¡±


    ¡°I remember now, Leng Yan was previously tenth, now he¡¯s coming to trouble Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°Things are getting interesting.¡± Nearly a hundred private rooms were almost filled with people, many curiously watching through the windows, even quite a few stepped out of their rooms.


    One must know, as the top amusement place of the Yuan Country King, the expenditure in Nine Sound Building is extremely astonishing, and the very top of it is the Nine Sound Building¡­ Those who can afford to sit in the private rooms here are either rich or noble.


    Predominantly consisting of members from Divine families and even the Prince families, many are from the Royal Family, and the vast majority are Demigod experts¡­ If it¡¯s a lone ranger, they¡¯re generally Semi-Divine Peak Experts who can afford to spend here.


    It can be said.


    Below the Divine. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This place represents the upper echelons of society in the Yuan Country Capital, and they¡¯re mostly very familiar with Leng Yan.


    ¡°Leng Yan is not someone to be trifled with.¡±


    ¡°Son of Illusion True Lord.¡±


    ¡°That Xu Yuan can replace Leng Yan¡¯s place, isn¡¯t he troublesome too?¡± The several hundred Demigods present were all watching Leng Yan and the dozen or so Demigods he led.


    ¡°It seems like Xu Yuan is together with Jiang Shan.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan is here too?¡±


    ¡°This has become even more interesting.¡±


    ¡­


    Leng Yan¡¯s voice resounded within Nine Sound Building.


    In the private room, those who were chatting amiably like Li Yuan, Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, naturally heard it as well.


    ¡°Leng Yan?¡± Jiang Shan furrowed his brows.


    ¡°This fool Leng Yan, while I and Brother Xu were on our way, he already sent someone to follow us, daring to directly come looking for trouble.¡± Jiang Xuan immediately got angry: ¡°Brother, I will drive him away.¡±


    She didn¡¯t care about Leng Yan¡¯s background.


    ¡°Sit down.¡± Jiang Shan commanded firmly.


    ¡°Brother.¡± Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Shan.


    ¡°I told you to sit down.¡± Jiang Shan frowned, and seeing this, Jiang Xuan reluctantly sat down, albeit grinding her teeth.


    The Mist Mountain King had several tens of children, with different mothers¡­ but she and Jiang Shan shared the same mother, and they had a naturally deep bond.


    Usually, she could behave arrogantly, and Jiang Shan wouldn¡¯t mind.


    But once Jiang Shan became stern, Jiang Xuan dared not disobey.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, do you want to meet him?¡± Jiang Shan then turned to look at Xu Yuan, and said, ¡°If Brother Xu Yuan doesn¡¯t want to meet, I assure you he won¡¯t be able to disturb Brother Xu Yuan today.¡±


    The few present all looked towards Xu Yuan.


    Xu Yuan was about to speak.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, I know you are in Prince Jiang Shan¡¯s private room, why don¡¯t you come out?¡± Leng Yan¡¯s voice rang again: ¡°What? Able to directly snatch my place, but dare not to face me? Or do you lack the strength to be in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List, so you dare not show your face?¡±


    ¡°This Leng Yan?¡± Jiang Shan frowned.


    Leng Yan, being the only son of the Illusion True Lord.


    Those who can be ennobled by different surname Divine, mostly have the strength of Pseudo-God Peak, which is not inferior to royal ennobled princes.


    Like the more than ten Divine in the Yuan Country Royal Family, all are ennobled, and additionally, three are made princes.


    And of the several thousand Pseudo-Gods who followed Jiang Yuan True God, only about a hundred are alive today who were ennobled¡­ Each one¡¯s strength is quite terrifying.


    Though Jiang Shan has high talent and is from the Royal Family, the father who could protect him most is dead.


    With the Royal Family proliferating, after tens of thousands of years of branching out, they are innumerable, unless becoming a Pseudo-God, otherwise, Jiang Yuan True God doesn¡¯t care much, as many members of the Royal Family have died in various fights and killings within Yuan Country.


    Therefore, in his heart, Jiang Shan doesn¡¯t want to offend Leng Yan too much, for he has to consider the many members of the Mist Mountain King lineage.


    However, in Jiang Shan¡¯s view, Leng Yan was being excessive today.


    ¡°Prince Jiang Shan.¡± Li Yuan instead laughed: ¡°This Leng Yan clearly wants to cause me trouble, if I don¡¯t meet under your protection, it will only lead to rampant rumors, by then, even Sha Xi Pseudo-God will be in a difficult position¡­ please witness it, Prince, and accompany me to meet him.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Jiang Shan nodded.


    Li Yuan wishing to step forward himself couldn¡¯t be better.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, I ought to kindly remind you.¡± Yan Long said: ¡°Since Leng Yan has come, he probably prepared to fight, his tenth place on the Flying Heaven List has some water¡­ but normally he could also rank in the top twenty, if you aren¡¯t confident, perhaps better let Prince Jiang Shan drive him away.¡±


    ¡°Otherwise, if you lose later, it would be even more embarrassing.¡± Yan Long shook his head.


    Everyone frowned.


    Li Yuan smiled, didn¡¯t mind him, and walked straight out of the private room.


    Jiang Shan, Baili Teng exchanged glances, and also followed him out.


    Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Yan Long felt annoyed inside and thought: ¡°Hmph, this Xu Yuan still tries to act strong at this time, let¡¯s see how you continue after you lose.¡±


    ¡°Yan Long, would you dare to bet with me?¡± Jiang Xuan coldly sneered from the side: ¡°If Brother Xu truly competes with Leng Yan, I bet Brother Xu wins, how about a wager of fifty Fangshen Crystals?¡±


    ¡°Fifty Fangshen Crystals?¡± Yan Long was startled.


    Although he is also a scion of the Divine, Yan Qing Pseudo-God doesn¡¯t have him as the only child.


    Such an amount of Divine Crystals was no small figure for him.


    ¡°Not daring? If not, then shut up.¡± Jiang Xuan sneered, turning around and walking towards the door.


    ¡°Who said I¡¯m not daring, let¡¯s bet!¡± Yan Long said angrily.


    ¡°Deal.¡± Jiang Xuan coldly said: ¡°Prepare your Divine Crystals.¡±


    Jiang Xuan had seen Li Yuan in action, naturally filled with confidence.


    ¡­Outside the private rooms.


    ¡°Jiang Shan has come out.¡±


    ¡°Baili Teng is there too, those two are also influential figures of the Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°That one is Xu Yuan?¡±


    For a moment, hundreds of Demigods in the top hall of the Nine Sound Building saw Xu Yuan and Jiang Shan coming out of the private room, all curiously watching, wanting to see the outcome.

    ¡°Born fifty years early?¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback, then laughed: ¡°I haven¡¯t even lived past fifty yet.¡± S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Brother Xu, you¡¯re not even fifty years old?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise: ¡°Aren¡¯t you even younger than me?¡±


    A hint of astonishment also flashed across Jiang Shan¡¯s face as he asked, ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, how old are you this year?¡±


    ¡°Over thirty.¡± Li Yuan said, himself actually only thirty years old.


    This wasn¡¯t a big secret that needed to be hidden.


    Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, these Demigods could not discern it, but an existence like Jiang Yuan True God could, upon close observation, glimpse traces of his life essence.


    For instance, Jiang Yuan True God, at their first meeting, directly judged that he was not over forty.


    If some secret treasures or special instruments were used, the judgment could be even more precise¡­ Therefore, in the information Jiang Yuan True God gave to Li Yuan, he explicitly mentioned that there was no need to deliberately hide his age.


    Most crucially, the identity fabricated by Jiang Yuan True God also matched Li Yuan¡¯s real age.


    ¡°Over thirty?¡±


    Yan Long in white robes widened his eyes: ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, compared to you, I, Yan Long, have lived nearly three hundred years, which really feels wasted like a dog¡¯s life.¡±


    ¡°So young? I thought you had been cultivating for at least sixty to seventy years.¡± Baili Teng was equally emotional: ¡°In the past, I thought Jiang Shan was a genius, achieving so much at a little over a hundred years old, but Brother Xu Yuan, you¡­ truly are an indescribable talent.¡±


    If Li Yuan¡¯s strength revealed just now had deeply shocked them.


    Now, coupled with Li Yuan¡¯s age, it truly made them tremble.


    Especially for Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, both of high standing, equivalent to Pseudo-Gods, their perspectives were entirely different.


    ¡°In that case.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan was indeed born at the wrong time.¡± Baili Teng shook his head with regret: ¡°With Brother Xu¡¯s talent, not to mention fifty years, even another thirty years of cultivation, even if he couldn¡¯t snatch the Ancestral Realm Order, entering the top hundred of the Ancestral Realm Battle might still be hopeful.¡±


    He truly felt pity for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Big Brother Baili, is the Ancestral Realm Battle that difficult?¡±


    Beside them, Jiang Xuan asked doubtfully: ¡°There are still twelve years left, from Flying Heaven to becoming a Demigod with Soul Metamorphosis, the speed of comprehending the Law will increase again.¡±


    ¡°With Brother Xu¡¯s cultivation speed, if he breaks through to a Demigod early, can¡¯t he contend in the Ancestral Realm Battle?¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    Jiang Xuan, as a royal princess, although not lacking in vision, was still at the Flying Heaven Level without the need to participate in the Ancestral Realm Battle, and indeed didn¡¯t understand it that well.


    ¡°Little sister, you don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°The top geniuses in the Ancestral Realm Battle are beyond your imagination.¡± Jiang Shan said seriously: ¡°Like myself, with a Demigod Body, able to burst forth with the strength of an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God¡­ Among a million Demigods in Abyss Country, it can be said nearly invincible.¡±


    Jiang Xuan nodded, recognizing her brother¡¯s strength, having challenged a Pseudo-God more than once.


    ¡°But, I don¡¯t even have the confidence to break into the top one thousand of the Ancestral Realm Battle.¡± Jiang Shan spoke somberly.


    ¡°Not even the confidence for the top one thousand?¡± Jiang Xuan was astonished.


    ¡°The Jue Xing Continent is vast, the Starry Sky boundless, full of countless strong individuals, like those at the Flying Heaven Level absorbed into Jue Xing Ancient City, they are the top geniuses.¡± Baili Teng also spoke gravely: ¡°Even with the same Demigod Seven Star Veins, the strength disparity can be tremendous, some with high Law Comprehension are nearly at the True God Level.¡±


    Hearing this made Jiang Xuan inwardly gasp.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, is indeed such a top-level genius.¡± Baili Teng said: ¡°Unfortunately, the years of cultivation are a bit short¡­ After all, many powerful Demigods with high Law Comprehension, to obtain the Ancestral Realm Order, would forcibly stay in the Demigod Realm for hundreds of years, even up to five hundred years.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s so unfair.¡± Jiang Xuan shook her head: ¡°It¡¯s unfair to all of you.¡±


    Among these people, Baili Teng and Yan Long were relatively older, but like Baili Teng ready for battle, he had also only cultivated for a little over two hundred years.


    ¡°In this world, where is there absolute fairness.¡±


    ¡°Luck is part of strength, too.¡± Jiang Shan laughed: ¡°After this Ancestral Realm Battle, I¡¯ll ask the King¡¯s opinion, if there¡¯s hope to vie for the Ancestral Realm Order, then I¡¯ll cultivate for another five hundred years.¡±


    ¡°Five hundred years?¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s mouth fell open.


    For her, such a duration was too lengthy.


    ¡°As for me, I can¡¯t wait that long.¡± Baili Teng looked at Li Yuan: ¡°But with Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s age, he could completely wait for another session.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave it up to fate, I haven¡¯t even become a Demigod yet.¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Come, Brother Jiang Shan, Brother Baili, let¡¯s continue drinking.¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°Continue drinking.¡± Jiang Shan laughed: ¡°The delicacies I ordered haven¡¯t all been served yet.¡±


    ¡­


    After this disturbance, although the central hall¡¯s music and dance resumed, many guests in the various private rooms had lost much interest, mostly discussing the battle that had just occurred.


    ¡°That Leng Yan, who is usually so arrogant, today actually bowed his head directly, even taking out treasures worth a thousand Fangshen Crystals to apologize.¡±


    ¡°He is arrogant, but he picks who to offend, never those truly powerful.¡±


    ¡°That Xu Yuan, with an unclear background, but with his own talent and strength, is truly terrifying.¡± Many Demigods whispered among themselves.


    For these Demigods.


    Today¡¯s event was far more interesting than the music and dance at Nine Sound Building.


    Many Demigods had even started using Communication Treasures to spread the events that had unfolded at Nine Sound Building to their friends.


    ¡­Inside Jiang Shan¡¯s private room.


    As Li Yan revealed his strength, their interactions became even more harmonious.


    Yan Long, who had previously been deliberately contentious, now became the most enthusiastic.


    ¡°I, for one, truly admire those with real talent, and I had previously misunderstood Brother Xu Yuan, my mistake.¡± Yan Long¡¯s attitude was low, smiling: ¡°Before, I admired Prince Jiang Shan and Brother Baili¡­ Now, this list must also include Brother Xu Yuan.¡±

 Chapter 788: 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm_2

    Chapter 788: Chapter 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm_2


    Li Yuan smiled indifferently.


    He had already figured out that Yan Long was probably the type to play both sides.


    However, there¡¯s no need to hit a smiling face with a stretched out hand, and since the other party kept apologizing, there was also no need to hold a grudge.


    As their conversation deepened.


    ¡°Oh? So in the coming days, forces from all over Abyss Country will come to visit me?¡± Li Yuan pondered while listening to Jiang Shan¡¯s narration.


    ¡°Exactly!¡±


    ¡°If you, Brother Xu Yuan, only had the strength of the top ten on the Flying Heaven List¡­ the various divine families within the Divine Kingdom wouldn¡¯t care too much.¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°After all, normally even geniuses in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List might not necessarily become Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Abyss Country was vast, with over a thousand Pseudo-Gods residing within the Royal Capital alone, and even more scattered across various states and counties.


    A few more Pseudo-Gods or a few less hardly made any difference to Abyss Country.


    ¡°Today¡¯s battle will surely spread the news about you, and soon, various forces will research your past. Once they find out your age¡­ they will judge that you¡¯re at least at Pseudo-God Peak, and even have a high hope of becoming a True God.¡± Jiang Shan said with a sigh: ¡°Once someone becomes a True God, the influence is entirely different.¡±


    ¡°A True God¡¯s influence surpasses that of a Pseudo-God by thousands to tens of thousands of times.¡± Jiang Shan said earnestly.


    ¡°Inside Abyss Country, many forces will definitely want to befriend you, even offering women from their families to become your consorts.¡± Baili Teng said with a smile.


    ¡°Consorts?¡± Li Yuan was speechless.


    As far as Li Yuan knew, it seemed to be the same in the Divine Realm.


    ¡°Strong individuals with true spouses are rare. My father has dozens of children, but he never had a true spouse from start to finish.¡± Jiang Shan shook his head: ¡°My mother is also just one of my father¡¯s consorts.¡±


    Jiang Shan did not avoid this fact.


    Because such things are the norm on Jue Xing Continent¡ªsuperpowerful beings having thousands of consorts is commonplace.


    ¡°Even, it¡¯s possible that other Divine Kingdom forces will secretly get in touch with you, hoping to invite you to join.¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°After all, our Abyss Country is one of the core eighteen Divine Kingdoms in the East Domain, with many major powers stationed within the Royal Capital. It¡¯s a place where dragons and snakes mix, and the news about you will definitely spread quickly.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    This point was also mentioned in the information provided by Jiang Yuan True God.


    Jue Xing Continent is divided into four regions: east, west, north, and south, as well as the four seas. Beyond the skies, there are countless Life Stars. Nearly all eight hundred Divine Kingdoms in the East Domain are under the control of Jue Xing Ancient City¡­


    Among these eight hundred Divine Kingdoms, eighteen are considered core Divine Kingdoms of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Abyss Country is one of them.


    The most noticeable sign of becoming a core Divine Kingdom is that they can establish a ¡®Transmission Array¡¯ within the Royal Capital, allowing teleportation between core Divine Kingdoms, and direct teleportation to Jue Xing Ancient City.


    This greatly strengthens Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s control over the East Domain.


    Despite the various Divine Kingdoms¡¯ battles for supremacy, they must all submit to Jue Xing Ancient City in the end.


    ¡°In summary.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, after today, you are destined to become a person of interest in the Royal Capital.¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile: ¡°But you don¡¯t have to pick sides, just focus on yourself¡­ and you are bound to have an unlimited future.¡±


    ¡°Thank Jiang Shan, Brother, for the reminder.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Be careful about your safety.¡± Baili Teng said: ¡°The more dazzling you are, in the end, you are still part of Abyss Country. Some enemies of Abyss Country might secretly wish to eliminate you, so be more cautious and try not to reveal your whereabouts if you decide to leave the Royal Capital.¡± S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She often tempts me like this. It was discovered early on that my mental state had slight improvements on the quality of my blood during testing. Nothing significant, but one of the groups within the lab had gotten a grant to observe the effects, so someone must have cared. At least I get something to alleviate my boredom.


    Vahn nods his head, ¡°Yes ma¡¯am. I will do my best.¡± He gives his most practiced smile.


    ¡°Very good Mr. Mason. ¡± she says while making notes on her tablet.


    ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to our session this evening. Now, if you¡¯ll please excuse me I¡¯m going to go check up on the status of my shipping request. ¡± She turns and walks out the secured door, nodding to the guards as she passes.


    ¡°Today.¡±


    ¡°I have indeed stirred up some trouble.¡± Li Yuan thought secretly: ¡°But I still need to be careful. Only by becoming a Demigod can I have some self-preservation power against the Divine.¡±


    ¡°Right now, I¡¯m still weak, and I must rely on the aura of a genius to protect myself.¡±


    Concerning his own strength, Li Yuan was self-aware.


    ¡°Brother Jiang Shan.¡±


    ¡°I have a question I¡¯d like to ask.¡± Li Yuan suddenly said: ¡°Where can I get more Jue Xing Divine Pills?¡±


    ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pills?¡± Jiang Shan said in surprise: ¡°Brother Li Yuan, haven¡¯t you already used the Jue Xing Divine Pill to its Limit? Do you still need more Jue Xing Divine Pills?¡±


    Li Yuan nodded without hesitation.


    Baili Teng, Yan Long, and even Jiang Xuan felt somewhat numb¡­ Li Yuan had exposed things that had repeatedly exceeded their understanding.


    ¡°I observed your use of Star Technique earlier. With such a powerful Divine Body, you¡¯re probably using the Seven Star Veins to practice the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique.¡± Jiang Shan looked at Li Yuan with a changed expression: ¡°But your use of Jue Xing Divine Pills hasn¡¯t even reached the Limit of your Soul Will¡­ This!¡±


    Jiang Shan shook his head and said: ¡°People say I¡¯m a genius, but today I thoroughly understand there¡¯s always someone better.¡±


    Then promptly,


    Jiang Shan thought for a moment and said: ¡°Ordinarily, the Divine Fire Palace has many tasks with rewards upon completion, including rewards of Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    ¡°But now, with the Divine Fire Palace competition concluded, there aren¡¯t more tasks for the moment, and Jue Xing Divine Pills, being forbidden items, can¡¯t be sold publicly¡­¡± Jiang Shan said: ¡°One way is to meet directly with Sha Xi Pseudo-God. Asking for ten or twenty Jue Xing Divine Pills from him shouldn¡¯t be difficult.¡±


    Li Yuan asked: ¡°Is there any other way?¡±


    Ten or twenty? That¡¯s too few.


    ¡°Jiang Shan, have you forgotten?¡±


    ¡°In three days, it will be the opening of the Nine Sounds Realm. With Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s strength, perhaps he can give it a try.¡± Baili Teng suddenly said: ¡°If successful, you could request a batch of Jue Xing Divine Pills from Nine Sounds True God.¡±

 Chapter 789: 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm

    Chapter 789: Chapter 415: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! Nine Sounds Realm


    ¡°Nine Sounds Realm?¡± Li Yuan puzzled.


    What is this?


    ¡°Ha ha, yes! Today we are at the Nine Sound Building, I almost forgot about this,¡± Jiang Shan laughed. ¡°The Nine Sounds Realm, established by the Nine Sounds True God, is open for three days each year at the Nine Sound Building.¡±


    ¡°The Nine Sounds Realm is also a major feature of the Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°Essentially, it is a place of trial, used by the Nine Sounds True God to select disciples,¡± Jiang Shan stated. ¡°Citizens of the Abyss Country, from Flying Heaven Level and Demigods can enter after paying a small amount of Divine Crystals¡­ Flying Heaven Levels who pass the Fifth Realm and Demigods who pass the Eighth Realm will receive a gift.¡±


    ¡°If a Flying Heaven Level can overcome the Sixth Realm and a Demigod can overcome the Ninth Realm, they will not only receive a gift but also have the chance to become disciples of the Nine Sounds True God,¡± Jiang Shan added.


    Become a disciple of a True God? A flicker of surprise crossed through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    A great mentor is hard to find.


    A True God openly taking disciples is very rare.


    ¡°This means, there must be many people attempting it,¡± Li Yuan whispered.


    ¡°Not really,¡± Baili Teng shook his head. ¡°A thousand years ago, when the Nine Sounds True God established the ¡®Nine Sounds Realm¡¯, there were many who tried initially, but with each passing year, fewer people attempted.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Li Yuan puzzled.


    ¡°Mainly because of the danger,¡± Baili Teng explained. ¡°The Nine Sounds True God is actually a Soul Master, hence the Nine Sounds Realm she created specifically targets the Soul Will, not necessarily strength¡­ And when it involves the soul, a minor mistake can lead to death.¡±


    ¡°If one cannot pass even the first three realms, the probability of death is quite high.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, those who dare to attempt are mostly the confident ones.¡±


    ¡°Even so, people occasionally die,¡± Baili Teng said. ¡°Few can pass the trial, and even fewer become disciples¡­ But for anyone who passes the trial, the gifts are very generous.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s dangerous for others.¡±


    ¡°But with Brother Xu Yuan¡¯s strength, passing the Fifth Realm should not be difficult,¡± Baili Teng said. ¡°Then, whether it¡¯s some treasures or the Jue Xing Divine Elixir, it should be easy to obtain¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll think about it,¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t too concerned.


    This Nine Sounds Realm sounds a bit dangerous, and I¡¯m not planning on taking a master.


    Just for the Jue Xing Divine Elixir, it¡¯s not very meaningful.


    ¡°Actually, the most impressive aspect of the Nine Sounds Realm is the tempering of the Soul Will, and the many Illusionary Realms it contains are truly rare,¡± Jiang Shan said with a laugh. ¡°I will try it myself next year as well, to test myself and see when I can pass the Ninth Realm.¡±


    ¡°Brother Jiang Shan, you¡¯re also attempting?¡± Li Yuan was surprised.


    ¡°Not just him, I will try too,¡± Baili Teng laughed. ¡°Actually, the top talents of Abyss Country in the Royal Capital, I guess most will give it a try, as a way to temper their Soul Will.¡±


    ¡°Even some other talents from the Divine Kingdoms will make a special trip¡­¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly understood.


    The so-called danger is merely the Nine Sounds True God¡¯s way of filtering out the ordinary Flying Heavens and common Demigods¡­ For the true talents, the probability of death is actually very low.


    ¡°In three days, I¡¯ll also give it a try,¡± Li Yuan immediately changed his mind.


    The feast lasted for quite a while.


    Baili Teng and Yan Long left respectively; Jiang Shan and Jiang Xuan personally escorted Li Yuan back to the Divine Fire Palace before returning to the Mist Mountain King¡¯s mansion.


    ¡­


    Inside the Mist Mountain King¡¯s mansion, Jiang Shan dismissed his attendants.


    ¡°Little sister, you did very well this time.¡±


    Jiang Shan said, ¡°You went to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, yet you managed to attract such an exceptional talent, I can see that Xu Yuan has quite a fondness for you.¡±


    ¡°Today.¡±


    ¡°We established a friendship before he revealed his strength, which is also good,¡± Jiang Shan said.


    ¡°In the future, the closer you are to Xu Yuan, the better it will be for you, and for our Mist Mountain King lineage,¡± Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Big brother,¡± Jiang Xuan shook her head, ¡°My intention was just to thank Brother Xu. If it weren¡¯t for him, I would have died in the Abyss Demon Blood Den.¡±


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Having a grateful heart is right,¡± Jiang Shan smiled. ¡°Tomorrow, bring another gift and visit him.¡±


    Hu!


    With a flick of his hand, a jade bottle appeared out of thin air, flying towards Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    Jiang Xuan was initially puzzled, took it over, and her expression slightly changed upon scanning it with her Divine Sense: ¡°Jue Xing Divine Elixirs? Are these fifty pieces? Big brother, do you have so many spare Jue Xing Divine Elixirs?¡±


    ¡°For other Demigods, this item is very precious, but for me, giving away dozens is easy,¡± Jiang Shan shook his head.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you just give them directly to Brother Xu earlier?¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help asking.


    ¡°If I gave them, how would it compare to you giving them?¡± Jiang Shan shook his head. ¡°I observe that Xu Yuan, while outwardly amiable, is extremely proud at heart; gaining his genuine approval is extremely difficult, and likewise, once he recognizes someone as a good friend¡­ when something arises, he would probably do everything he can to help.¡±


    ¡°You already have a good relationship with him, if you could help him a couple more times, making him feel grateful, the friendship would be unbreakable.¡± Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Jiang Shan gravely continued: ¡°Just like how you treat those servants around you, when you treat them genuinely, they would also go all out to protect you at crucial moments.¡±


    ¡°Big brother, you and I are different, I treat Uncle Guo, Uncle Fang, genuinely from my heart,¡± Jiang Xuan stared at Jiang Shan.


    Jiang Shan just smiled, not arguing.


    ¡°Big brother, this is too calculating,¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°That¡¯s the only bad part about you.¡±


    ¡°Sometimes I wonder if you¡¯re also calculating with me,¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    ¡°Silly girl,¡± Jiang Shan chuckled and shook his head: ¡°Father is already dead, you¡¯re my only family in this world, how could I scheme against you?¡±


    ¡°Alright, the Jue Xing Divine Elixirs are yours.¡±


    ¡°Whether you give them or how you give them, is up to you,¡± Jiang Shan said, ¡°I still need to enter seclusion for cultivation, you should also go rest.¡±


    ¡°Mm, big brother, I will leave first,¡± Jiang Xuan bowed and then turned to leave.


    Watching Jiang Xuan disappear from sight.

    ¡°Also good.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, only true sincerity can exchange for genuine hearts.¡± Jiang Shan¡¯s tender eyes turned sharp as he muttered to himself: ¡°Little sister, I hope you have more protection.¡±


    ¡°That way, when I take action in the future, I can have fewer concerns.¡±


    In Jiang Shan¡¯s heart, there lay hidden a great vengeance related to his mother¡¯s death,


    even Jiang Xuan did not know.


    Jiang Shan did not want Jiang Xuan to also bear hatred.


    In fact, Jiang Shan had no deep feelings for his father, Mist Mountain King, and in some ways, it was Mist Mountain King¡¯s mistakes that led to his mother¡¯s death¡­ and Mist Mountain King perished outside.


    His greatest concern before was his sister ¡®Jiang Xuan¡¯. All the arrangements he made in secret were to protect Jiang Xuan.

    Inside the deep palace of Huanzhen Marquis Mansion.


    ¡°Please punish me, Mother.¡± Leng Yan respectfully said.


    ¡°You did nothing wrong, what is there to punish?¡± The lady in palace attire smiled and said: ¡°I originally thought his strength was insufficient, which is why he was ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List¡­ It was I who asked you to challenge him publicly.¡±


    ¡°Who could have guessed he was so formidable?¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level so formidable has never appeared in our Yuan Country, it¡¯s not your fault, on the contrary, you handled the situation very well, made amends promptly, and did not deeply offend him,¡± Huanzhen Marquis praised.


    Leng Yan listened attentively.


    ¡°Yan¡¯er, this time on the Flying Heaven List, there really is no chance for you,¡± Huanzhen Marquis said: ¡°Delaying it another twenty years would actually be harmful to you¡­ Better break through to Semi-Divine soon, I will arrange for you to go to East Nether Sacred Land, which might be more beneficial for you there.¡±


    ¡°East Nether Sacred Land?¡± Leng Yan was surprised: ¡°Mother, our Yuan Country is indeed originated from Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°I have arranged everything,¡± Huanzhen Marquis continued: ¡°If you cultivate step-by-step, becoming Pseudo-God is difficult, and you won¡¯t be able to enter Jue Xing Ancient City, only by entering the Holy Land do you have a sliver of hope.¡±


    ¡°As a Flying Heaven Level, nobody will pay attention to you,¡± Huanzhen Marquis said: ¡°Which power you belong to isn¡¯t important.¡±


    ¡°Ascending to God, that¡¯s what matters,¡± Huanzhen Marquis looked at Leng Yan.


    ¡°Yes, Mother,¡± Leng Yan nodded heavily.


    He understood, even with his mother¡¯s position and power, acquiring a spot in East Nether Sacred Land likely cost a great deal.


    ¡­


    The competition at Jue Yin Tower was watched by hundreds of Semi-Divines, word spread rapidly from one to ten, ten to a hundred.


    Actually, a competition of Flying Heaven Level was normally not conspicuous.


    But the strength Li Yuan displayed was overly astonishing.


    Whether it was various powers within Yuan Country or personnel stationed at Yuan Country Capital from other Divine Kingdoms, they quickly received this news.


    Jue Xing Divine Mountain, spanning hundreds of kilometers, is a very special building in Yuan Country Capital.


    Because it represents Jue Xing Ancient City within Yuan Country.


    Stationed inside the Temple are all elites from Jue Xing Ancient City, few in number but each highly formidable, having an extremely strong deterrent power in the Royal Capital, their status even surpassing the Royal Family.


    Deep in the continuous mountain range, within a courtyard.


    ¡°Jing Kui.¡± A purple-clad Pseudo-God with a powerful aura looked at the recently received information and laughed: ¡°It seems like Yuan Country has produced a genius not inferior to you.¡±


    ¡°Are you talking about Xu Yuan? I have seen him,¡± the black-robed youth Jing Kui casually said: ¡°Not only is he good in direct combat, his Soul Will is even more formidable¡­ he is the most formidable Flying Heaven Level I have ever seen.¡±


    ¡°The most formidable?¡± The purple-clad Pseudo-God was surprised, knowing Jing Kui¡¯s strength.


    In Jue Xing Ancient City, he is known as a top-tier genius of the younger generation, believed to have a great chance of obtaining the Ancestral Realm Order.


    This time, as Jing Kui came to Yuan Country, he had secretly met many talents of Yuan Country, but even Jiang Shan hardly caught his eye.


    Yet the evaluation of Xu Yuan was the highest.


    ¡°Whether he is formidable or not doesn¡¯t affect me.¡±


    ¡°Rather, in a few days, after I¡¯ve experienced the famous Nine Sounds Realm of Yuan Country, I¡¯ll continue wandering to the next Divine Kingdom,¡± Jing Kui laughed: ¡°But if he can successfully join the Ancient City, old Dong, perhaps you¡¯ll be credited greatly.¡±


    ¡°Haha, Jing Kui, borrowing your good words,¡± the purple-clad Pseudo-God laughed.


    He was well aware that Jing Kui¡¯s strength had reached an unimaginable level, not inferior to himself¡­ Traveling across the continent, refining the heart through worldly experiences, once Jing Kui advances further, he might Ascend to True God.


    ¡­


    Divine Fire Palace, spanning a vast area.


    At the highest palace here is where Sha Xi Pseudo-God resides.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, to think his strength is that formidable? Defeating Ji Ming with a single palm strike?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God looking at the latest information, felt immensely shocked: ¡°No wonder the King commanded me to give him a spot directly.¡±


    ¡°I misjudged, someone with such strength, why need an assessment?¡±


    After a little thought.


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God directly issued an order: ¡°Upgrade Xu Yuan¡¯s ranking in the Divine Fire Palace from tenth on the Flying Heaven List to first.¡±

    Divine Fire Palace, Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    ¡°Master, Lord Jiang Xuan has arrived.¡± A beautiful servant dressed in purple respectfully reported.


    ¡°Hmm, bring Lord Jiang Xuan here.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Soon, two other servants led Jiang Xuan into the hall where fine wine was naturally served.


    ¡°Brother Xu, I see that there are still many people waiting outside; it seems they are all here to visit you.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled, ¡°It seems that after yesterday¡¯s battle, your fame has spread throughout the entire Royal Capital.¡±


    ¡°Many Divine families have come to visit.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    Not long after returning to the Divine Fire Palace, Divine families had already sent people to visit and brought congratulatory gifts.


    Especially after the news of Li Yuan being promoted to ¡®Number One on the Flying Heaven List¡¯ spread, even more visitors came.


    Each congratulatory gift was worth at least ten Divine Crystals.


    Apart from some extremely valuable gifts that were clearly given with ulterior motives, which Li Yuan refused, he accepted the rest without objection.


    Getting so many Divine Crystals effortlessly was not a common occurrence.


    Less than a day later.


    Li Yuan had already received hundreds of Fangshen Crystals just from the gifts.


    ¡°This is just the beginning, in the coming days, there will probably be even more visitors.¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°Haha, Brother Xu, you¡¯ll be receiving gifts until your hands go weak, probably forgetting who even gave them to you.¡±


    In the entire Royal Capital, with thousands of Divine families, even if only one-fifth chose to congratulate, the final value of the gifts would be a staggering number.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t remember who sent the gifts.¡± Li Yuan joked, ¡°Just remember who didn¡¯t send a gift.¡±


    Jiang Xuan laughed and then said, ¡°It seems I came at the right time today.¡±


    ¡°Oh? I was just about to ask what you came for today.¡± Li Yuan asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to deliver a gift as well.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled and with a flip of her hand, she handed a jade bottle to Li Yuan.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Li Yuan briefly inquired and his expression showed a hint of surprise: ¡°Jue Xing Divine Pills, fifty of them?¡±


    It should be noted that Li Yuan had already visited Sha Xi Pseudo-God, who had directly given him twenty Jue Xing Divine Pills.


    Any more? None!


    Thirty Jue Xing Divine Pills were the maximum number a Flying Heaven Level could obtain from the Divine Fire Palace.


    Many members of the Divine Fire Palace had to complete numerous trial missions to obtain so many Jue Xing Divine Pills.


    To purchase Jue Xing Divine Pills?


    Such things were prohibited and were not allowed for sale.


    Li Yuan also understood that ordinary Flying Heaven Semi-Divines would probably use them immediately; there would not be any surplus.


    Li Yuan never expected that Jiang Xuan would give out fifty Jue Xing Divine Pills as soon as she made a move.


    ¡°Where did these come from?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°After I returned yesterday, my elder brother managed to get them for me.¡± Jiang Xuan said, ¡°Brother Xu, given your relationship with the King, even if it wasn¡¯t difficult for the King to gift hundreds or even thousands of Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡±


    Actually, Jiang Xuan was somewhat puzzled; initially, she thought Li Yuan was from one of the Holy Land sects, or even a top talent from Jue Xing Ancient City¡­but judging from Li Yuan never using Jue Xing Divine Pills before, it seemed he was not a core member of a major power.


    However, Jiang Xuan could confirm one thing¡ª the King regarded Li Yuan highly.


    ¡°This little matter, I didn¡¯t want to trouble the King.¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°A few dozen more or fewer Jue Xing Divine Pills, don¡¯t really make a big difference to me.¡±


    Li Yuan was very clear.


    Jiang Yuan True God had already helped him a lot.


    Solving his identity issue, providing direct access to Starry Sky Ancient City, and a one-time protection of the token¡ªthese were the most important things.


    But, the other party was neither kin nor his guardian, and though he had given a lot, it was also for a purpose.


    If Li Yuan needed help for every tiny matter,


    Why would Jiang Yuan True God believe that he could Ascend to Heavenly God?


    Not to mention that he had just awakened Eight Star Veins, and his Law Talent wasn¡¯t to the unbelievable level.


    Even in the history of the Snake Clan from the Divine Realm, many top-talents who had awakened Nine Star Pulse had also died on the path of becoming a Heavenly Divine.


    ¡°Jiang Xuan, I do indeed need these Jue Xing Divine Pills now, thank you very much.¡± Li Yuan said, unceremoniously.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    ¡°Actually, Brother Xu, you have helped me even more, not just saving me multiple times.¡± Jiang Xuan said, ¡°This time, the quota for Jue Xing Ancient City from the Royal Family was also obtained by your help, Brother Xu.¡±


    ¡°Me?¡± Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°Brother Xu, do you still remember those Semi-Divine Level Ferocious Beasts heads?¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    Li Yuan suddenly understood, and smiled: ¡°So, you also entered the Abyss Demon Blood Den to compete for the quota of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu, there¡¯s another matter I want to ask about.¡± Jiang Xuan couldn¡¯t resist and said, ¡°That time in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, could you confirm whether Uncle Xu and the others truly perished?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t see them perish with my own eyes, but based on some evidence.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Originally, he had personally witnessed Uncle Xu and the others entering a cave where the lights dimmed out.


    ¡°Thanks for letting me know, Brother Xu.¡± Jiang Xuan¡¯s eyes dimmed, shattering her last bit of hope.


    ¡­


    After sending away Jiang Xuan.


    ¡°Ren Qing.¡± Li Yuan conveyed through a message.


    The purple-garbed woman immediately flew in and respectfully said, ¡°Master, what do you need?¡±


    Ren Qing was the newly appointed Grand Steward of Li Yuan¡¯s residence in the Divine Fire Palace, and was also a Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Tell those who want to visit that I will be going into closed-door cultivation for a while and won¡¯t see anyone.¡± Li Yuan said, ¡°They can leave their cards and gifts, and I¡¯ll make note of them later.¡±


    ¡°Master, is this a good idea?¡± Ren Qing couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°The visitors are all from Divine families.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they are neither from Prince families, nor are those Divines visiting personally.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    The Pseudo-Gods who were Princes in the Abyss Country, they were the truly formidable figures among Pseudo-Gods, like Illusionary Real Marquis was one among them.


    As for the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, Middle Rank of Pseudo-God¡­ if these Divines personally visited, Li Yuan would certainly entertain them, but if it was just their family juniors, Li Yuan really didn¡¯t care.

    Chapter 792: Chapter 416: Gift! Willpower Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes, Monthly Ticket Draw)_2


    ¡°Yes,¡± Ren Qing said, ¡°By the way, master, many of the divine families who come to pay homage have conflicts with each other. Should we accept all the congratulations gifts they bring?¡±


    In Ren Qing¡¯s view, accepting the gifts was a statement in itself.


    ¡°Accept them!¡±


    ¡°Take them all if they dare to give,¡± Li Yuan smiled. ¡°But you should also discern, return all those valued over fifty Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Ren Qing nodded.


    She was also secretly surprised in her heart; she had served as a housekeeper for many Demi-God level geniuses of the Divine Fire Palace¡­ but it was the first time she saw someone like Li Yuan who was so casual and unconcerned about the thoughts of those divine families.


    ¡°Perhaps, this is what a super genius is,¡± Ren Qing thought to herself.


    Little did she know, Li Yuan had already thought it through; after all, he would leave the Jue Xing Continent when he becomes a Demi-God¡­ Better to take the benefits first.


    Only a fool would reject free advantages.


    ¡­


    ¡°Boom~¡± The door of the Quiet Chamber slowly closed, and Li Yuan immediately activated the Origin Power Array.


    ¡°Seventy Jue Xing Divine Pills.¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged, sensing all the Jue Xing Divine Pills in the Storage Magical Treasure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try.¡±


    ¡°See if I can refine them all,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, also feeling a bit of anticipation: ¡°Previously, using ten Jue Xing Divine Pills awakened thousands of Life Stars¡­ What if I use fifty or sixty this time? Then I¡¯d be one step closer to awakening the Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Taking out a Jue Xing Divine Pill, with practiced ease, his Divine Sense wrapped in Origin Power, instantly enveloped it, attempting refinement.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A powerful Divine Soul impact burst forth from the Jue Xing Divine Pill, directly assaulting the Soul Origin of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Here it comes again,¡± Li Yuan countered with the Spirit Concentration Technique.


    ¡­


    In the Mist Mountain King¡¯s residence.


    ¡°Commander Mo,¡± Jiang Xuan whispered, ¡°Is everything arranged?¡±


    ¡°It has been arranged according to Your Highness¡¯s orders, the family members of Xu Guo and others are all properly settled,¡± Commander Mo respectfully said.


    ¡°Mm, you may leave,¡± Jiang Xuan said.


    After Commander Mo left.


    ¡°This trip to the Abyss Demon Blood Den, if not for encountering Brother Xu, even with Uncle Guo¡¯s protection, I would have died,¡± Jiang Xuan pondered silently, ¡°Brother¡­ seems to have been making some plans and arrangements all along, he¡¯s been hiding things about mother from me.¡±


    ¡°Strength.¡±


    ¡°If I could have Brother Xu¡¯s strength, I might be able to share many burdens for him,¡± Jiang Xuan thought.


    Jiang Shan thought Jiang Xuan knew nothing, but Jiang Xuan was no child and had long been aware; she just never showed it.


    ¡°This time, it was not easy for Brother Xu to secure a slot for me in the Jue Xing Ancient City; even if I can¡¯t stay in the Starry Sky Ancient City, I still need to strive to stay there longer,¡± Jiang Xuan quietly thought.


    The trial slots for Jue Xing Ancient City from Abyss Country consisted of only ten demi-god slots, competing with everyone including the Royal Family.


    But for the Flying Heaven Level slots, some were allocated to the Divine Fire Palace, and some belonged to the Royal Family.


    The Royal Family only had five slots each time; though it didn¡¯t seem many, there were far fewer members in the Royal Family, so the competition pressure was less.


    Jiang Xuan¡¯s strength did not rank high in the Divine Fire Palace, but among the Royal Family¡¯s Flying Heaven Level, she was already outstanding, plus she was relatively young.


    This trial in the Abyss Demon Blood Den was the final trial to determine the slots!


    Using the abundance of Demi-God level ferocious beasts gifted by Li Yuan, she secured the first place in the final trial of the Abyss Demon Blood Den.


    ¡°Let¡¯s fight.¡±


    ¡°Brother is fighting for the Ancestral Realm battle, I must also work hard,¡± Jiang Xuan silently resolved.


    ¡­


    In the following days, Li Yuan¡¯s residence was indeed bustling.


    Even though Li Yuan was explicitly in closed-door cultivation, not receiving guests, it didn¡¯t stop the enthusiasm of many divine families.


    The managers of many divine family had already received instructions from their ancient ancestors, stating that Xu Yuan might soon join the Jue Xing Ancient City, with the hope of becoming a True God¡­ If he returned to Abyss Country from Jue Xing Ancient City in the future, he would be a top existence in Abyss Country.


    Now was the best time to forge a connection.


    Not seeking to latch onto a relationship, but just not to be disliked by Xu Yuan.


    The abundance of congratulatory gifts also left the house manager Ren Qing somewhat numb; she never thought that one day she would receive treasures worth thousands of Fangshen Crystals¡­ She even harbored a thought.


    ¡°Why not run away with the treasure? With so many divine crystals, they could be exchanged for precious cultivation resources; maybe I could even cultivate to the Semi-Divine Limit,¡± a hint of greed arose in Ren Qing¡¯s heart.


    But she soon gave up on the idea.


    ¡°No!¡±


    ¡°Unless I flee the East Domain, the Black Abyss Guard of Abyss Country would definitely capture me,¡± another idea emerged in Ren Qing¡¯s mind: ¡°And now, perhaps there is also an opportunity.¡±


    ¡°From what Sha Xi Pseudo-God said, does Master Xu Yuan not have a family? No spouse or children either.¡±


    ¡°That means, I am currently the closest under Master Xu Yuan¡¯s command, able to gain his trust. In the future, if Master Xu Yuan becomes a Pseudo-God or even the legendary True God¡­ the benefits and opportunities will be plentiful,¡± Ren Qing thought to herself.


    Her heart also harbored a desire to become divine.


    On the Jue Xing Continent, there were many legends and tales of a person¡¯s success leading to the elevation of their entire surroundings.


    Inside Abyss Country, there were such cases.


    It is said that the extremely low-profile ¡®Gou Mu True God¡¯ had once assisted Jiang Yuan True God when he was a Pseudo-God. At that time, Jiang Yuan True God was only at the Flying Heaven Level, but later Jiang Yuan helped Gou Mu to become a True God after becoming a True God himself.


    After clarifying everything, Ren Qing took her management of the estate more seriously, receiving the visits from various families.


    ¡­


    Inside the Quiet Chamber of the estate.


    Naturally, Li Yuan was unaware of Ren Qing¡¯s change in thought; he continued his devoted cultivation, refining one Jue Xing Divine Pill after another.


    After refining another fifty-three Jue Xing Divine Pills in one go. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Including the initial ten, with the one currently being refined, it made up the sixty-fourth Jue Xing Divine Pill that Li Yuan had refined.

    Chapter 793: Chapter 416: Gift! Willpower Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes, Monthly Ticket Draw)_3


    ¡°Boom boom boom!¡±


    From the Jue Xing Divine Pill, a soul shock emerged that exaggeratedly escalated, furiously assaulting Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    ¡°Hold it!¡± roared Li Yuan inwardly.


    The terrifying soul shock, like a relentless great river, seemed slow but left Li Yuan with no escape; even his Soul Secret Treasure couldn¡¯t be activated and he could only forcibly endure.


    This shock was capable of shaking the soul.


    It made Li Yuan¡¯s body almost uncontrollable under the overwhelming pressure.


    In fact, since using the sixtieth Jue Xing Divine Pill, the soul shocks had become increasingly astounding, gradually approaching Li Yuan¡¯s limit.


    But,


    With a will nearly at the Pseudo-God Level, Li Yuan stubbornly endured and refined three more Jue Xing Divine Pills.


    But the sixty-fourth pill evidently surpassed Li Yuan¡¯s endurance limit.


    Suddenly,


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will could no longer withstand it; his mind went blank, intense pain surged to his heart, and he collapsed.


    And at the moment Li Yuan could no longer resist, that soul shock also vanished without a trace.


    After a long time,


    ¡°Phew!¡± Li Yuan slowly regained consciousness, propped himself up, and secretly thought: ¡°Indeed, just like the intelligence reported by Jiang Yuan True God, the soul shock from Jue Xing Divine Pill is not a soul attack¡­ it only suppresses and shocks, at most causing unconsciousness without leading to soul collapse.¡±


    This was also why Li Yuan dared to attempt reaching his limit.


    ¡°The effect of the Jue Xing Divine Pill is indeed excellent, although the ninth Star Meridian is still not awakened.¡±


    Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, sensing the eight Star Meridians in the Life Starry Sky: ¡°But refining them non-stop, awakening nearly twenty thousand Life Stars, surprisingly allowed my sixth Star Meridian to break through to the Nine Layers Level.¡±


    Li Yuan also looked at the Divine Palace panel:


    [Star Meridians: 8 Star Meridians (10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+10 Layers+9 Layers+8 Layers+7 Layers)]


    The first five Star Meridians of the eight have already reached the Perfect Star Vein Level; the last three awakened by Jue Xing were gradually nearing Nine Layers Level throughout these years of attempts.


    Both the quantity and quality of Star Meridians are important.


    Just like in the case of Six Star Pulse, someone who can cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique and someone only able to cultivate the Seven Stars Technique naturally differ vastly in strength.


    The former, if cultivating the Body Refining Star Technique, could rival the might of a Seven Star Pulse practitioner. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The latter would be much weaker.


    Like many practitioners of Seven Star Veins or Eight Star Veins, why their Law Comprehension is generally very high is an important reason¡ªthey mostly have two to three Nine Layer Star Veins, allowing them to cultivate supporting Supreme Star Techniques to dramatically increase their Law Compatibility.


    ¡°My quality of Star Meridians, among those with Eight Star Meridians, should indeed be among the top,¡± Li Yuan thought secretly.


    Besides the eight awakened Star Meridians, the disorganized Unowned Life Stars had also reached a new peak.


    ¡°Steady progress.¡±


    ¡°As long as it¡¯s not the limit, I can always awaken more Life Stars,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes shimmered with light: ¡°Even without Spiritual Guidance, there is still hope to awaken the Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    Spiritual Guidance is very important.


    But Li Yuan never placed all his hopes on Spiritual Guidance.


    Just like before, Li Yuan strived to become a Semi-Divine Level Soul, and thus directly broke from a Six Star Pulse to a Seven Star Pulse.


    ¡°External opportunities are important.¡±


    ¡°But if I solely rely on Spiritual Guidance, hoping to eventually become a Ten Star Meridian, that might just be an illusion,¡± Li Yuan calmed down, adjusted his inner state, and began to cultivate the Boundary Cloud Spear.


    In his mind, scenes from the Mirror of Laws appeared.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh~


    A series of spear shadows continuously appeared around Li Yuan, each transforming the same technique¡ªthrust!


    Forward thrust!


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s the Wind, Earth Laws, or the Mysteries of Space Comprehension, if taken separately, I wouldn¡¯t reach the Pseudo-God Level,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°But combining all three, I was able to comprehend the fourth technique of the Boundary Cloud Spear, elevating the Spear Technique Profoundness, comparable to the Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    Many Pseudo-Gods, individually comprehending a Basic Law, would reach the Seven Stages of Perfection Level, and in terms of the profoundness of moves, they might not even catch up to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Keep comprehending.¡±


    ¡°Understanding more Mysteries of the Laws and integrating them into my spear techniques will make it stronger.¡±


    ¡°The founder of the Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s technique was centered around the Earth and Wind Laws, with the Mysteries of Space as support¡­ but I am the exact opposite, with the Space Law as the core,¡± although Li Yuan learned the Boundary Cloud Spear¡­


    But as his understanding deepened, he gradually formed his own interpretation.


    In the lineage of Space, Li Yuan was clearly superior to the Earth and Wind Laws.


    ¡­


    After a long simulation of the spear technique, Li Yuan, tired from refining Jue Xing Divine Pills, had also recovered quite a bit.


    ¡°Begin practicing the Visualization Method.¡± Li Yuan switched to another method.


    Ever since his Origin Power cultivation reached the limit.


    Cultivating Star Meridians, comprehension of Spear Technique, and will training¡­ these three had been the focus of Li Yuan¡¯s cultivation, usually alternating between them.


    In a sense.


    Li Yuan always maintained the habits of his younger years, wholeheartedly immersing in cultivation.


    In the Spiritual World, within the Divine Palace.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness converged, as usual, focusing on the Great Sun Jade Platform, and the surrounding scenery changed immediately, transporting him into the vast Starry Sky.


    That sun-like star was still suspended there.


    ¡°Starry Sky Great Sun.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness rapidly approached the Great Sun, its radiating light containing tremendous might, constantly trying to suppress Li Yuan.


    However,


    After so many years of cultivation, Li Yuan¡¯s will had grown close to the Pseudo-God Level; these lights could hardly affect him.

    Chapter 794: Chapter 416: Gift! Willpower Breakthrough (Requesting Monthly Votes, Monthly Ticket Draw)_4


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body flew nearer and nearer, eventually stopping at a position extremely close to the Great Sun.


    Here, the gigantic fireball seemed like half the universe itself, blazing and endless, and one could even clearly see the fiery serpents dancing upon the fireball¡­ Their scorching glow enveloped Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body.


    Pain!


    A terrible agony targeted at the soul.


    ¡°Great Sun Refining Heart.¡±


    ¡°Observing the vastness of the Starry Sky.¡± The pain of the soul being scorched that was enough to drive many Flying Heaven Warriors insane did not suffice to alter Li Yuan¡¯s expression.


    He had attempted to approach the Great Sun numerous times.


    ¡°Soul Metamorphosis, will make the will stronger!¡±


    ¡°If the will is powerful, it also makes the hope for Soul Metamorphosis greater.¡± Li Yuan silently recited in his heart: ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, though unbearably painful, it is the supreme method that continuously transforms the Soul Will.¡±


    No matter how strong the method is.


    No matter how good the opportunity.


    One must also seize it with all one¡¯s strength to achieve anything. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just like many Heavenly God¡¯s Descendants, their training environment from a young age often surpassed that of their parents¡­ but their achievements mostly would not overtake that of their parents.


    ¡°Sss hss~¡± That terrible torment was also slowly transforming Li Yuan¡¯s will.


    Although his Soul Will had long reached Level 49.


    But Li Yuan firmly believed that, even if each time he endured torment akin to hell, as long as he could progress even a little, he would welcome the day of complete transformation sooner.


    Time passed.


    ¡°Boom rumble~¡± The invisible glow of the Great Sun, like a sharp blade, struck time after time, injuring Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    Splash~


    Li Yuan was also circulating the ¡°Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,¡± allowing the vast Starry Sky behind him to transmit strands of mysterious power, continuously nurturing the soul¡­ but the weariness from the torment of the will could only be endured by himself.


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body stood firm like a rock, not moving a single inch.


    ¡°It seems, still unable to make a breakthrough, practice for a while longer, then wait for the next time.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was very calm: ¡°Judging the time, the Nine Sounds Realm will open soon.¡±


    ¡°A True God level Soul Master, has created this realm for the purpose of taking in disciples, may it bring me some insight.¡±


    Just at this moment.


    ¡°Boom~~¡±


    Without a sound,


    Beneath the nurturing of the body, influenced by the Origin of the Law of the Great Dao,


    And still, day after day, he practiced ¡°Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture¡± even after his will reached Level 49.


    Li Yuan¡¯s will, which had already reached the Semi-Divine Limit, finally underwent transformation at this moment, breaking through that crucial bottleneck.


    From mortal to Divine!


    Just like a chain reaction, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body suddenly burst into dazzling flashes of light, like colored glaze, also signifying that his will had completely entered a new level.


    Pseudo-God Level!!


    ¡°If the heart is like colored glaze, unaffected by the external world, by persisting in one¡¯s heart, one can endure and exist for a long time.¡± Li Yuan had some enlightenment in his heart: ¡°Is this the essence of the will at the Divine level?¡±


    Whether they are Prime Warriors, or Flying Heaven Warriors, or even Demigod powerhouses, their wills have been growing stronger, but there has never been a fundamental difference.


    In the face of one calamity after another, they often waver in their hearts, doubting whether their choices are wrong.


    It¡¯s hard to maintain the original intention!


    Only by persisting in one¡¯s heart, persisting in one¡¯s Dao, questioning the heart over and over again without slacking, can the will transform continuously, evolve continuously, and finally achieve the level of ¡®If the heart is like colored glaze.¡¯


    ¡°The heart holds no good or evil.¡±


    ¡°Nor does it hold any judgments of good or bad.¡±


    ¡°Some terrible demons, who have killed countless, have destroyed worlds and planets, yet their will is terrifyingly extreme,¡± Li Yuan, feeling his will metamorphosing, further understood: ¡°The so-called right and wrong, they¡¯re merely others¡¯ opinions.¡±


    ¡°And the truly strong, have hearts that cannot be shaken, only adhering to their own path.¡±


    ¡°Just like this.¡±


    ¡°Only then can one, over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years of time, not lose oneself.¡±

    Chapter 800: Chapter 419: Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan (Additional release for monthly votes.)


    In Wu Beihong¡¯s small hall.


    ¡°Beihong!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan and the others have gone to challenge it, with Baili Teng and Jiang Jun among others present.¡± Someone in the hall immediately pointed this out to Wu Beihong.


    Just as there are many Divine Fire Palace members surrounding Jiang Shan, similarly, with the strength and background of Wu Beihong, there are also many formidable Flying Heaven Semi-Divine following him.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Wu Beihong sneered: ¡°That Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, they challenge it year after year, and each year they stop at the Ninth Realm, really not ashamed¡­ As for Xu Yuan, his combat strength is strongest, but I don¡¯t know about his Soul Will.¡±


    ¡­


    At another unremarkable table, Leng Yan was also here with his friends and servants.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has gone to challenge.¡± Ji Ming said in a low voice.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, daring to take risks?¡± Leng Yan frowned, ¡°With his strength, joining Jue Xing Ancient City would be a piece of cake, there¡¯s no need to take risks in the Nine Sounds Realm. Are you saying he plans to seek apprenticeship under the Nine Sounds True God?¡±


    Although annoyed with Li Yuan,


    Leng Yan wasn¡¯t foolish; he was well aware of how high Li Yuan¡¯s talent and strength were, knowing it would be easy to become a disciple under a True God.


    Nine Sounds True God? Within Abyss Country, naturally attracts countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divine to become disciples¡­ but among the many True Gods in Jue Xing Ancient City, he was definitely not among the top tier.


    If he were one of the extremely strong True Gods, why would he follow Jiang Yuan True God?


    ¡°The challenge has begun.¡±


    Ji Ming¡¯s face suddenly showed a hint of shock: ¡°Jiang Shan¡¯s progress is rapid, truly worthy of being the first on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡­


    Almost everyone was watching the shining dots on the surface of the Nine Sound Building¡­ since there were very few left challenging now.


    And people like Jiang Shan and Li Yuan, among the seven, were entering one after another.


    Thus, the multitude of spectators, from the sequence in which the red and purple dots appeared, could infer the identity of the challengers.


    Especially Li Yuan, he was the only ¡®red light¡¯ among the seven.


    After entering the Nine Sound Tower.


    ¡°Boom!¡± The purple dot belonging to Jiang Shan was breaking through continuously, reaching the Fourth Level area in just tens of seconds after blasting through the Third Level.


    This scene astounded the spectators.


    It was too fast, creating a stark contrast to the previous thousands of challengers.


    Baili Teng followed closely behind, also swiftly crossing the Second Level.


    ¡°Truly worthy of being the first on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°Baili Teng, indeed a top ten existence on the Semi-Divine List, truly formidable.¡±


    ¡°Strong in direct combat, and their Soul Will is also extremely powerful,¡± the multitude of spectators whispered among themselves.


    ¡°But as for Xu Yuan, it seems he¡¯s fallen to the last, still in the First Level now.¡±


    ¡°Not surprising, he¡¯s just Flying Heaven Level, you think he can progress faster than Jiang Shan and the others?¡±


    ¡°High Law Comprehension and Star Meridian don¡¯t mean Soul Will is necessarily strong.¡±


    Indeed.


    Among the seven challenging the Nine Sound Tower at the same time, Li Yuan was indeed the most inconspicuous one.


    While Jiang Shan had broken into the Fifth Level in one breath, Li Yuan was still at the First Level.


    ¡­


    Inside the First Level of the Nine Sound Tower.


    ¡°Truly profound.¡±


    ¡°This Illusionary Realm¡¯s construction method is quite different from the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.¡± Li Yuan was still immersed in the Illusionary Realm.


    With his strength, he could break free from the multiple layers of Illusionary Realm in the First Level with just a thought.


    But for Li Yuan, passing the realms was not his intention; he simply wanted to grind his Soul Will.


    There was no need to rush through.


    ¡°The Illusionary Realms of the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture penetrate silently into my heart, stirring the deepest desires within, and making me indulge and reluctant to awaken,¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°it targets the weaknesses in my mind.¡±


    ¡°Even knowing it¡¯s false, I still can¡¯t help but indulge in some Illusionary Realms.¡±


    Just like in the Seven Star Civilization, many people are addicted to gaming, videos, and web chatting¡­ who doesn¡¯t know it¡¯s false?


    But the false can be happier than reality.


    Knowing it¡¯s a deception, yet like a moth to flame.


    The layers of Illusionary Realms into which Li Yuan fell while touching the Great Sun, are thousands of times more terrifying than some temptations in reality.


    ¡°But the Illusionary Realm of the Nine Sound Tower magnifies ¡®fear¡¯, causing the beings to be infiltrated unknowingly by extreme fear, and then obscuring many perceptions¡­¡± Li Yuan realized, ¡°The fear of losing cultivation, the fear of death¡­¡±


    ¡°Fear can make people irrational.¡±


    ¡°Fear can make people lose courage.¡±


    Many people are literally scared to death.


    ¡°Extreme fear, it¡¯s also a type of Illusionary Realm technique, interesting.¡± Li Yuan showed a smile.


    Coming to the Nine Sound Realm was the right choice.


    Li Yuan did not rush to break through the layers of Illusionary Realms, instead, he fully enjoyed it, letting the invisible Illusionary Realm completely envelop his mind.


    To defeat the enemy,


    One must first understand the enemy.


    ¡°Three days¡¯ time, no hurry, only ten minutes have passed.¡± Li Yuan was very patient.


    His Soul Will was incredibly strong, and despite being enveloped by the invisible soul fluctuations of the First Level, in his heart, he remained absolutely clear.


    ¡­


    In the higher void of the Nine Sound Tower, a group of Pseudo-Gods emitting aura gathered here, observing the situation of the challengers in the Nine Sound Tower and exchanging comments with each other.


    There were as many as thirty Pseudo-Gods.


    For events like the Nine Sounds Realm that happen once a year, they normally wouldn¡¯t attract much attention from Pseudo-Gods.


    ¡°There seem to be quite a few who are free this year.¡±


    ¡°Even Dong Lin has come.¡± A woman in a fiery red robe laughed, ¡°With so many people coming, it seems that Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s recruitment of new members is indeed attracting attention.¡±


    ¡°Are they all here to watch Xu Yuan? Or is it Jiang Shan?¡±


    This woman in the fiery red robe was the real controller of the Nine Sound Building, and also a follower under the Nine Sounds True God.


    ¡°This year¡¯s challengers are quite ordinary.¡±


    ¡°The previous thousands of people, not one met the minimum standard, what a pity.¡± These Pseudo-Gods had extremely high standards.


    If someone reached the minimum standard to receive a gift from the Nine Sounds True God, they were willing to take them as disciples.


    A powerful Soul Will signifies an extremely resolute heart. Even if the cultivation speed is slow, they could keep improving, and the probability of eventually becoming a Pseudo-God is also very high.


    Unfortunately.


    Not one of them caught their eye.


    ¡°Jiang Shan and Baili Teng indeed progressed quickly, Jiang Shan has already reached the Eighth Level, how much time has passed? Is the King giving him so much importance?¡±


    ¡°Mist Mountain King has indeed produced a good son,¡± these Pseudo-Gods commented.


    ¡°As for Xu Yuan, he is somewhat disappointing to me, how much time has passed, and he has only reached the Third Level? Although Soul Will and Law Comprehension are not related, he seems too weak.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s just at Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°I have found his information; it seems he¡¯s not even forty years old.¡±


    ¡°Not even forty? That young? No wonder his soul will is relatively weaker.¡± The several Pseudo-Gods present suddenly understood.


    Usually, the older one lives and the more one is honed, the stronger their natural soul will becomes.


    ¡°It looks like he should be able to pass the third level, not sure if he can get through the fourth.¡± A Pseudo-God assessed, ¡°I thought he could make it through the fifth level.¡±


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, with such high Law Comprehension, reaching the Nine Sounds True God standard should not be difficult.¡± Another Pseudo-God also expressed doubt.


    So many Pseudo-Gods had come.


    Apart from looking for promising seeds worth nurturing, they also wanted to observe Xu Yuan.


    ¡°Gentlemen, let¡¯s not jump to conclusions too soon.¡± The elderly man in the purple robe smiled, ¡°This Xu Yuan, I¡¯m afraid, might just surprise you all.¡±


    ¡°Dong Lin¡¯s meaning? Is Xu Yuan¡¯s soul will very strong?¡±


    ¡°Dong Lin, what do you know?¡± The other Pseudo-Gods were immediately curious.


    Dong Lin Pseudo-God, was in charge of Jue Xing Ancient City in Abyss Country.


    In terms of strength, many Pseudo-Gods present were not inferior to Dong Lin Pseudo-God, but when it came to intelligence, they were far behind.


    ¡°Can¡¯t say, just watch and see.¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God smiled mysteriously.


    In fact, Dong Lin Pseudo-God did not know how strong Li Yuan¡¯s soul will was.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°To make Jing Kui think he is the strongest he¡¯s seen¡­¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God muttered to himself, ¡°This Xu Yuan, can he possibly make it through the seventh or even the eighth level?¡±


    ¡­


    Half an hour passed.


    Baili Teng, Jiang Jun, and the others had all finished their attempts, and in the end, they only managed to pass through the seventh or eighth level.


    ¡°Xu Yuan and Jiang Shan are still going?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan is on the fourth level? That shouldn¡¯t be right!¡±


    Xu Yuan¡¯s situation puzzled Baili Teng and others; although they had not confirmed that Li Yuan had a Pseudo-God level soul will, even a vague sense allowed them to judge that Li Yuan¡¯s soul will was extremely strong.


    How could he only be on the fourth level?


    ¡°Jiang Shan is challenging the ninth level, and he has been in there for quite a while, not sure if he can make it through.¡±


    Jiang Shan¡¯s performance was as stable as ever.


    ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, the entire Nine Sound Tower lit up brilliantly, followed by a purple light soaring straight into the sky from the top of the tower, dazzling endlessly.


    ¡°Passed the ninth level?¡±


    ¡°Has Jiang Shan passed the ninth level?¡±


    ¡°As expected of number one on the Semi-Divine List.¡± This scene immediately shocked countless onlookers.


    To pass through the Nine Sounds Realm? There haven¡¯t been many in Abyss Country for over a thousand years!


    This requires extraordinarily high soul will.


    For Jiang Shan, even as the first on the Semi-Divine List, many did not believe he could do it, considering that for the past dozen years, he participated every year but always stopped at the eighth level.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    In one of the halls, Wu Beihong¡¯s cup exploded instantly, his face ashen: ¡°Damn it! This guy, he also made it through the ninth level?¡±


    But Wu Beihong was well aware, to pass through the Nine Sounds Realm, there was no trickery involved.


    The only explanation was that, in terms of soul will, Jiang Shan had completely surpassed him.


    ¡­


    ¡°Actually made it through the ninth level?¡±


    ¡°This kid Jiang Shan is indeed formidable.¡±


    ¡°With such a strong soul will, once he joins Jue Xing Ancient City, his growth will be even faster.¡± Above the Nine Sound Tower, many Pseudo-Gods sighed with emotion.


    ¡­


    ¡°Haha!¡±


    ¡°Constant grinding really works.¡± Jiang Shan, full of vigor, had just flown down from the Nine Sound Tower to his group of friends and laughed, ¡°In the ninth level, as I was about to fail, I somehow broke through unknowingly, stepping into the Pseudo-God level.¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God level will?¡±


    ¡°Impressive.¡± Baili Teng, Jiang Jun, Yan Long, and others came forward to congratulate him, also quite shocked.


    For a Semi-Divine, whether it¡¯s breaking through the will or soul to the Pseudo-God level, it¡¯s extremely difficult.


    Comparatively speaking.


    It¡¯s even harder to break through the will than the soul.


    ¡°Breaking through the will! The hope of a soul breakthrough to the Pseudo-God level will be greatly diminished,¡± Baili Teng said. ¡°Jiang Shan, if you can also make your soul breakthrough, perhaps in the future you could reach the Eight Star Veins of Jue Xing!¡±


    ¡°Pseudo-God level soul? Difficult!¡± Jiang Shan shook his head, ¡°Eight Star Veins¡­ even more so.¡±


    Jiang Shan did not dare to think about the Eight Star Veins.


    ¡°Hm? Where¡¯s brother Xu Yuan?¡± Jiang Shan looked around and did not spot Xu Yuan.


    ¡°Brother, Big Brother Xu is still inside the Nine Sound Tower,¡± Jiang Xuan pointed towards the Nine Sound Tower in the sky.


    ¡°Still in the Nine Sound Tower, which level?¡± Jiang Shan asked in confusion.


    At this moment, there were still dozens of red dots inside the Nine Sound Tower, and naturally, he couldn¡¯t tell which one was Li Yuan.


    ¡°The fourth level,¡± said Jiang Xuan. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Brother Xu is only at the fourth level?¡± Jiang Shan was even more puzzled, frowning, ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be right.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±


    ¡°By my estimate, brother Xu is perhaps trying it for the first time and wants to stay a bit longer. He will definitely pass the sixth or even the seventh level soon,¡± Baili Teng laughed.


    Time passed.


    Half an hour later.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has passed the fourth level.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Yuan has passed the fifth level, and has already met the minimum requirement to receive a gift.¡±


    ¡°Number one on the Flying Heaven List, that¡¯s about right.¡±

    Chapter 801: Chapter 420: To Ask Is To Desire (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)


    Inside the Nine Sound Tower, at the Ninth Level, there was nothingness.


    In reality, all nine levels of the Nine Sound Tower were vast and quiet places, devoid of any decorations or objects.


    However, the scenes encountered and faced in the spiritual world of everyone who entered were different, all stemming from their hearts.


    And in this nothingness, Li Yuan stood quietly.


    His eyes tightly shut.


    ¡°Illusionary Realm.¡±


    ¡°This illusionary realm of fear on the ninth level is indeed intricately constructed, far surpassing the eighth level,¡± Li Yuan marveled in his heart.


    When he broke through the first eight levels, even the layered illusions of the eighth level could not disturb the clarity deep within Li Yuan¡¯s spirit; he easily regained consciousness.


    It was only to experience the layered illusion constructed by the Nine Sounds True God that he had delayed for so long.


    After all, Li Yuan¡¯s soul was strong, nearly reaching the Pseudo-God Level.


    His will was even stronger!


    With such a strong spiritual will, it was almost impossible for ordinary illusions to deceive him.


    But the illusions contained in the ninth level were completely different; they were not just simple fear illusions.


    ¡°Fear!¡±


    ¡°Simple fear cannot surpass life and death,¡± Li Yuan mused silently: ¡°Between life and death lies great terror, life and death are also the most primal and greatest fear of countless lives.¡±


    ¡°Why eat and drink? To stay alive!¡±


    ¡°Why procreate? It is the genes wanting to continue.¡±


    ¡°Why strive to cultivate? It¡¯s for immortality,¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.


    ¡°Life! It is the greatest desire!¡±


    ¡°Death! It is the greatest fear!¡±


    ¡°The fear of death, at its core, is the desire for life,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself: ¡°When I first ventured into the first layer of the Nine Sounds Realm, I thought fear illusions were different from desire illusions.¡±


    ¡°I was wrong. The source of fear is also a part of desire; endless desires, thus endless illusions.¡±


    ¡°The mysteries contained in the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture indeed surpass the illusions constructed by the Nine Sounds True God.¡±


    ¡°The strong, those who seek, will have desires.¡±


    ¡°I fear not being able to complete the tasks of the Eternal Hall, fundamentally because I yearn to return to my homeland, protect my hometown, and see my family again¡­ These are all desires.¡±


    ¡°No one can transcend desires.¡±


    ¡°Those without desires are only stones,¡± Li Yuan realized: ¡°And facing desires, apart from suppressing desires, being controlled by them¡­ there is actually a third path, facing desires and controlling them.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed suddenly in his heart.


    He recalled the scene before he entered the Nine Mountains World.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°Some things, I did wrong.¡±


    Sigh!


    Li Yuan took a deep breath, his inner will suddenly radiated a dim lustrous light, much brighter than before, easily dispersing the invisible fluctuations enveloping his spiritual world.


    Like snow melting rapidly under the scorching sun.


    And on the panel of Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Palace, several notifications silently appeared.


    ¡°[Your will level has increased from level 50 to 51]¡±


    ¡°[Your will level has increased from 51¡­]¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°[Your will level has increased from 53 to 54]¡±


    ¡­


    In just a few days, Li Yuan had gone through two seemingly endless journeys through illusionary realms, and his spiritual will truly transformed astonishingly from the inside out.


    His will also jumped from the previous level 49 to 54.


    Now, in terms of the strength of will, even among countless Pseudo-Gods, Li Yuan was already considered exceptional.


    This is the wonder of will growth.


    Unlike Origin Power, which must be accumulated slowly, and unlike Law Comprehension, which must be gradual, even so-called epiphanies require a long time of accumulation¡­ The transformation of the spirit is often more unfathomable.


    ¡°Facing desires.¡±


    ¡°Facing fear, and you won¡¯t be driven by desires,¡± Li Yuan took a step forward, transformed into a stream of light, and flew out of the ninth level passage.


    Unlike Jiang Shan, who passed through the Nine Sounds Realm.


    Jiang Shan, in his madness, broke through the illusionary realms layer by layer, and if let him do it again, the infinite illusions of the ninth level would still cause him great trouble¡­ Meanwhile, Li Yuan repeatedly experienced those illusions until he understood their essence.


    At this moment.


    The many illusions of the Nine Sounds Realm no longer had any effect on honing Li Yuan, nor could they confuse him.


    ¡­


    Under the gaze of countless spectators.


    Whoosh~


    The Nine Sound Tower suddenly burst into dazzling light, causing the heaven and earth to tremble faintly, followed by a red light soaring into the sky.


    Li Yuan was already floating in the void.


    Not far away, Jiang Shan, Jiang Xuan, Baili Teng, and others, all rushed over, their eyes filled with awe.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you are too incredible,¡± Jiang Xuan said excitedly: ¡°Flying Heaven Level, having completely passed through the Nine Sounds Realm¡­ My god!!¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, impressive,¡± Jiang Shan also felt moved; although he had also passed the ninth level.


    But is passing at Flying Heaven Level the same as passing at Semi-Divine Level?


    Moreover, Jiang Shan also knew Li Yuan¡¯s age, being so young and yet possessing such terrifying spiritual will¡­ It was simply unimaginable.


    If previously, Jiang Shan had some pride in his heart, now he was thoroughly convinced, understanding that his talent was far inferior to Li Yuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, from now on, you are the peer I admire the most,¡± Yan Long continued: ¡°Even Prince Jiang Shan has to rank second now.¡±


    ¡°I have no objections,¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile.


    ¡­


    ¡°This!¡±


    ¡°How can this Xu Yuan be so strong?¡± Wu Beihong couldn¡¯t believe it: ¡°I can¡¯t even pass the Nine Sounds Realm, a Flying Heaven Level, and his spiritual will is even stronger than mine?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°I dared to provoke such an exceptional monster before?¡± Leng Yan was both fearful and relieved in his heart.


    ¡°Luckily!¡±


    ¡°Luckily I bowed my head early; if he rises in the future, he probably won¡¯t target me,¡± Leng Yan muttered to himself in secret.


    At this moment, he felt the most correct decision he made was to decisively humble himself a few days ago.


    Being an enemy of such an extraordinary monster is simply seeking death!


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, high up in the void, a group of Pseudo-Gods who had been conversing earlier were also shocked when they saw Li Yuan rushing through the Nine Sounds Realm.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, breaking through the Nine Sounds Realm set by the master? And the information shows that he is only in his thirties,¡± the owner of the Nine Sound Building was thoroughly shocked.


    Others might not understand the difficulty of the Nine Sounds Realm, but she was very clear about it.


    To break through the Sixth Realm, one must have Spiritual Will reaching the Semi-Divine Peak standard.


    To break through the Ninth Realm, one must have Spiritual Will reaching the Pseudo-God threshold.


    ¡°This youngster.¡±


    ¡°His soul is strong, but it shouldn¡¯t reach the Pseudo-God Level, otherwise he couldn¡¯t have deceived me,¡± the owner of the Nine Sound Building thought, ¡°It¡¯s the will! His will is terrifyingly strong.¡±


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level, yet forged such an intimidating will?¡±


    ¡°Immediately send a message to the master.¡± The owner of the Nine Sound Building thought secretly: ¡°Wait¡­ the master might already know, never mind.¡±


    It was not only the owner of the Nine Sound Building.


    The other thirty-plus Pseudo-Gods, including the ¡®Dong Lin Divine¡¯ who knew a bit about Li Yuan¡¯s details, were all somewhat shocked.


    ¡°It¡¯s too monstrous.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with such strong Spiritual Will?¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God muttered to himself, ¡°No wonder Jing Kui respects him so much¡­ Such an extraordinary monster, even in Jue Xing Ancient City, there are not many who can match him.¡±


    While the other Pseudo-Gods, not being very familiar with Li Yuan or the Nine Sounds Realm,


    had a straightforward way of judging.


    Flying Heaven Level passing the Sixth Realm qualifies to be disciples under the Nine Sounds True God.


    Then passing the Ninth Level? Could it be that they qualify to be disciples under the Heavenly Divine?


    ¡°Must report to the King,¡± the always low-key Sha Xi Pseudo-God muttered secretly.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xu Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, with such a strong Spiritual Will?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s so fierce.¡± The countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divine spectators totally boiled over, all quite excited.


    The Jue Xing Continent, which greatly venerates the strong.


    Li Yuan¡¯s performance, though not quite a strong one yet, was incredibly fearsome¡­ at least in terms of Spiritual Will, Li Yuan proved that he was in no way inferior to any unparalleled talent among the Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Hahaha.¡±


    ¡°Look, didn¡¯t I say it?¡± the middle-aged man in Black Armor laughed, ¡°This Mister Xu Yuan, indeed, is an extraordinary monster, and may truly be able to found a Divine Kingdom in the future.¡±


    The six Flying Heaven Levels from the County City were deeply shocked in their eyes.


    Now, they finally understood the saying, ¡®There is always someone better.¡¯


    ¡°Being the same Flying Heaven Level, compared with this Mister Xu Yuan¡­ I feel like we are different species,¡± said the Purple Garment Young man muttering.


    ¡­


    As Li Yuan, Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Shan were exchanging words.


    Suddenly, the atmosphere of heaven and earth shifted, and a woman in a fiery red robe exuding a strong aura glided across the night sky, slowly descending directly towards where Li Yuan and others were.


    An invisible aura, enveloping the heavens and earth.


    ¡°Pseudo-God?¡± Both Jiang Shan and Li Yuan immediately sensed the horrifying aura emitted by the other party.


    Especially Jiang Shan, who stepped forward to block in front of everyone, his eyes filled with solemnity.


    Swoosh!


    Another purple-robed figure hurriedly flew forward, respectfully saying, ¡°Prince Jiang Shan, Mister Xu Yuan, this is our Nine Sound Building owner, ¡®Qian Huan Pseudo-God¡¯.¡±


    Nine Sound Building owner?


    Li Yuan and Jiang Shan were both startled; everyone knew there was a head owner of Nine Sound Building, but few had seen her.


    Because, atop the Nine Division Buildings, there was rumored to be a ¡®Divine Sound Building¡¯, meant for hosting divine beings, supposedly managed by the Nine Sound Building owner herself.


    Non-divine beings do not qualify to enter the Divine Sound Building.


    Thus, even Jiang Shan had not seen the Nine Sound Building owner before; he did not expect her to appear personally.


    ¡°Greetings, Divine.¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted, and Jiang Shan merely bowed slightly.


    Jiang Shan himself possesses very high strength.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, Jiang Shan, congratulations on passing the Nine Sounds Realm,¡± the fiery-red-robed woman smiled and said, ¡°The True God has messaged me; in a couple of days after the Nine Sounds Realm closes¡­ I will take you to meet the True God. Whether you wish to become disciples or not, the True God has prepared a gift for each of you.¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± both Jiang Shan and Li Yuan responded.


    A gift from the True God?


    ¡­


    Qian Huan Pseudo-God came quickly and left quickly.


    Li Yuan, Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, and others had completed the Nine Sounds Realm and waited in the hall a while longer, seeing no further excitement, and gradually left.


    Today was just the first day the Nine Sounds Realm opened, and there would be more than two more days.


    But with millions watching, Li Yuan¡¯s name had quickly spread throughout the Royal Capital at an astonishing speed.


    From one divine being to numerous Flying Heaven Realm and even Prime Warriors, everyone knew that a prodigious talent had emerged in Yuan Country, not only No. 1 on the Flying Heaven List, but also a Flying Heaven who had passed through the Nine Sounds Realm.


    And as time passed, this news continued to spread throughout Yuan Country.


    ¡­


    In the void above the Yuan Country Capital, within the endless cloud-covered Imperial Palace.


    Within the majestic and infinite Temple.


    ¡°Passed through the ¡®Nine Sounds Realm¡¯ laid out by Nine Sounds?¡± a towering figure in Black Armor revealed a trace of surprise in his eyes, ¡°Unlikely, the Nine Sounds Realm has extremely high demands on Spiritual Will.¡± S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°If I remember correctly.¡±


    ¡°When at the Abyss Demon Blood Den, I observed his Spiritual Will, the soul had not transformed, nor had the will given birth to the lucent glow of glass¡­ according to reason Xu Yuan shouldn¡¯t have been able to pass,¡± Jiang Yuan True God mused thoughtfully.


    ¡°Could it be, he made a great breakthrough in these past few days? A breakthrough in will? Or a soul breakthrough?¡±


    ¡°No matter what.¡±


    ¡°This youngster, truly has amazing talent, not only high in Star Vein Talent and Law Comprehension, capable of possessing such strong Spiritual Will at the Flying Heaven Level, simply flawless, truly deserving of being from the Divine Realm,¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes shimmered, ¡°Perhaps, he indeed could cultivate into a Heavenly Divine?¡±

    Chapter 802: Chapter 421: The Powerful Jing Kui! Meeting the True God (Seeking Monthly Votes)


    Although Jiang Yuan True God had previously established a Law oath with Li Yuan, Jiang Yuan True God did so with the mindset of ¡®give it a try, there is nothing to lose.¡¯


    He never truly believed Li Yuan would surely ascend to Heavenly God.


    After all, becoming a Heavenly God is incredibly difficult.


    What about awakening the Eight-Star Veins? Most direct disciples of Heavenly Gods are of the Eight-Star Veins too, but only a few eventually ascend to become Heavenly Gods.


    Therefore, after bringing Li Yuan back to Yuan Country Capital, Jiang Yuan True God gave Li Yuan opportunities¡­ rather than directly bestowing treasures upon him.


    He was also observing Li Yuan.


    In Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s view, if Li Yuan could really become a Heavenly God, then with the opportunities he provided, Li Yuan should be able to rise quickly in both Yuan Country Capital and the Starry Sky Ancient City.


    If he can¡¯t become the strongest genius of his generation in Jue Xing Continent, what chance does he have to become a Heavenly God?


    But Jiang Yuan True God hadn¡¯t expected that, in just a few days, Li Yuan had already caused such a huge stir.


    ¡°Also a Flying Heaven Eight-Star Vein.¡±


    ¡°It seems even more formidable than in my youth.¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a slight smile.


    Before he had received the inheritance of Anchi Heavenly God, he had awoken the Seven-Star Veins as a Prime Warrior, and after receiving the heavenly inheritance, he broke through again and awoken the Eight-Star Veins!


    ¡°He is about to get some real benefits.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, this Xu Yuan has a sliver of hope to awaken the Nine-Star Pulse as a Demigod.¡± Jiang Yuan True God thought secretly.


    The difficulty of progressing from Eight-Star Veins to Nine-Star Pulse was terrifyingly high. In Jue Xing Continent, Demigods with Eight-Star Veins are born in almost every generation, but in billions of years, those who have manifested the Nine-Star Pulse are extremely few.


    At least, Jiang Yuan True God himself had not managed to do so.


    ¡°However.¡±


    ¡°Being too dazzling is not always a good thing.¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes turned cold: ¡°I¡¯m afraid once the news spreads, many will start harboring ulterior motives.¡±


    Having dominated Jue Xing Continent for over ten thousand years, Jiang Yuan True God had many formidable enemies.


    With this thought. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s mind stirred, and soon after, a breeze passed by, followed by the wind coalescing to form a blurry figure.


    ¡°Your Majesty.¡± The blurry figure said respectfully.


    ¡°Shadow Demon, I have a task for you, coming up¡­¡± Jiang Yuan True God quickly laid out his request.


    ¡°Should we inform him?¡± the blurry figure asked.


    ¡°No need, just act in secret.¡± Jiang Yuan True God shook his head: ¡°If nothing happens, there¡¯s no need to alert him.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± The blurry figure turned back into a gust of wind and disappeared within the hall.


    ¡­


    In Yuan Country Capital, Jue Xing Divine Mountain, spanning hundreds of kilometers.


    Although there are many strong individuals stationed inside, the total number is not large, and it is not as densely populated as many Divine families, thus it¡¯s quite desolate, with continuous mountain ranges and many Treasures and Exotic Beasts living in them.


    Among one of the inconspicuous mountain ranges.


    Outside a simple wooden hut.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    A black-robed youth stood in the void tens of meters high, wielding a long sword. The sword suddenly trembled, and immediately his entire body erupted with countless snaking twists of lightning, exploding and covering the sky densely.


    In an instant, with him as the core, it was as if he was the source of the lightning, emanating an incredibly terrifying pressure.


    What¡¯s astonishing is that the numerous lightning snakes didn¡¯t harm the surrounding boulders or trees in the slightest; after wildly dancing around, they quickly converged back together.


    Countless tiny flashes of light met on the sword, intertwining and merging perfectly with the blade.


    ¡°Chaotic Thousand Leis.¡±


    ¡°This move is becoming more and more refined.¡± Jing Kui silently pondered, this was a powerful Heavenly God art that he was cultivating.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity.¡±


    ¡°Despite significant improvements in swordsmanship and integrating Space Law, its might is already close to that of many True God techniques.¡± Jing Kui thoughtfully said: ¡°But to break through to the eighth stage High Rank of Thunder Law, there¡¯s still a bit missing.¡±


    He might be a Demigod,


    but he possesses terrifying talent in Thunder Law, having already reached the Intermediate Rank of the eighth stage¡­ Once he progresses further, sets the Divine Fire alight, and harnesses the strength from the evolved Divine Fire, he will most likely be able to condense the Divine Heart in a very short period.


    To condense the Divine Heart is to become a True God!


    But this step is as insurmountable as the firmament, blocking his path for many years.


    ¡°I hope to break through before the Ancestral Realm battle.¡± Jing Kui mused, ¡°Then, beating those folks from Changqing Ancient City and Heavenly Snake Ancient City should be easy.¡±


    As one of the top talents of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s current generation, even Heavenly Gods take him very seriously, conversing with him personally.


    He naturally knows some information about his rivals, each one difficult to deal with.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Jing Kui¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.


    He had just received intelligence from Dong Lin Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan, both passed through the Nine Sounds Realm?¡± Jing Kui showed a hint of doubt: ¡°Is the difficulty of the Nine Sounds Realm so low? Or did Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Will breakthrough?¡±


    He had been in Yuan Country Capital for half a month, mainly for the well-known Nine Sounds Realm.


    But he had already met both Jiang Shan and Xu Yuan.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Even if the Nine Sounds Realm is not as challenging as its reputation suggests¡­ the progress in swordsmanship is nothing to scoff at.¡± Jing Kui felt quite indifferent inside.


    Having cultivated for hundreds of years and traveled to many places across the vast lands, he had quite some experience.


    With that thought, Jing Kui turned into a streak of light, quickly soaring out of the range of Jue Xing Divine Mountain, passing through layers of clouds, and flying towards the direction of the Nine Sound Building.


    ¡­


    Nine Sound Building, the Nine Sounds Realm was still in operation.


    However, as time passed, the number of challengers dwindled, especially as most prominent figures had already made their way through, so the hustle and bustle had diminished considerably.


    The millions of spectators, though, still talked mostly about Xu Yuan and Jiang Shan. After all, it is exceedingly rare for an era to have two peerless geniuses who have conquered the Nine Sounds Realm.

    Of course, at this moment, many people are looking up at the Ninth Level of the Nine Sound Tower, where a purple light point is located within.


    Another person has reached the Ninth Level!


    ¡°It¡¯s Wu Beihong.¡±


    ¡°Second on the Semi-Divine List! It is said that his strength is no less than Jiang Shan¡¯s. They are evenly matched, but since Jiang Shan is from the Royal Family, he is ranked first.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Shan managed to get through the Ninth Level, but can Wu Beihong do it too?¡±


    ¡°Hard to say, after all, the Nine Sounds Realm tests one¡¯s Soul Will.¡± Countless onlookers were discussing fervently.


    Especially some of the more powerful demigods, they were all aware of the fierce rivalry between Wu Beihong and Jiang Shan, neither willing to concede to the other.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom~¡± The purple light point on the Ninth Level dissipated, and immediately following, a figure in golden armor flew out from the entrance of the Eighth Level¡ªit was Wu Beihong, unexpectedly defeated.


    ¡°Failed?¡±


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    ¡°Indeed, it seems that getting through the Nine Sounds Realm is difficult after all. Xu Yuan is just an exception.¡± The onlookers communicated with each other via transmitted messages.


    Whoosh!


    Wu Beihong¡¯s face was sullen: ¡°Damn it! How could the Ninth Level be so difficult? Those endless layers of Illusionary Realm¡­ How on earth did that bastard Jiang Shan get through?¡±


    While he was grudgingly willing to accept Xu Yuan¡¯s success, as there was no enmity between them,


    But Jiang Shan¡¯s success? Worse than eating shit.


    Swoosh!


    A black streak of light suddenly flew past in front of Wu Beihong, heading toward the Nine Sound Tower, not only unabated in speed


    but also with no intention of yielding.


    Already irate, Wu Beihong became even more annoyed upon this sight, shot a cold glance at the approaching figure in black robes, and coldly snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t know to clear the way? Scram!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re telling me to scram?¡±


    The black-robed figure, who had paid no mind to Wu Beihong, was first stunned, then revealed a slight, inexplicable smile, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since a demigod dared to tell me to scram.¡±


    The next moment.


    Whirr~ A terrifying wave of soul energy suddenly burst forth, rolling towards Wu Beihong in wave after wave.


    ¡°Boom!¡± It was like a heavy hammer, this dreadful Soul Shock almost turned Wu Beihong¡¯s mind to mush, as his soul consciousness was violently trembling.


    ¡°Not good, this demigod? Where did he come from?¡± Wu Beihong barely managed to keep his consciousness clear, yet his heart was filled with alarm.


    He knew, although his Soul Will had not broken through to the Pseudo-God Level, it was the pinnacle among demigods. A typical Pseudo-God¡¯s Soul Shock could at most exert a bit of pressure, but how could it be so terrifying?


    Ssst~


    A horrific lightning serpent suddenly pierced the Vast Sky and lunged at Wu Beihong.


    ¡°Not good.¡± Wu Beihong¡¯s face changed drastically, sensing a fatal threat, and without hesitation he unleashed the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, his body rapidly expanding, followed by a fierce clapping motion with both hands.


    The attack of his opponent erupted too swiftly, a combination of Soul Attack and Material Attack, almost executed in one breath.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    The terrifying confrontation collided, the lightning serpent retracting upon contact, but Wu Beihong¡¯s palms were torn with countless tiny wounds, and his entire body was sent flying backwards.


    ¡°Did not use the Body Refining Star Technique.¡±


    ¡°With just one move, I¡¯m blown away? This level of strength is definitely close to the Pseudo-God Middle Rank.¡± Wu Beihong was horrified, ¡°How strong would it be if he also used the Body Refining Star Technique?¡±


    He didn¡¯t believe that the other party didn¡¯t have the Body Refining Star Technique.


    In an instant, Wu Beihong understood that he had hit a snag; this unassuming young man in black robes might well be a top genius wandering in the Yuan Country Capital from some major tribe.


    ¡°In view of our being under the same Ancient City¡¯s command, I¡¯ll only give you a lesson.¡±


    ¡°Next time, keep your mouth clean.¡± A detached voice echoed in Wu Beihong¡¯s mind.


    And that black-robed figure had already leaped into the Nine Sound Tower.


    ¡°Also under Ancient City¡¯s command? A top demigod from Jue Xing Ancient City?¡± Wu Beihong¡¯s eyes flickered.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    More than a dozen figures swept over, it was a group of Wu Beihong¡¯s demigod friends, their faces also filled with shock.


    ¡°Beihong, who was that?¡±


    ¡°So strong?¡± This group of demigod friends had seen the whole thing clearly; although the exchange between the two was fast, Wu Beihong was almost soundly defeated.


    Wu Beihong¡¯s face darkened to the extreme; had it been anyone else, he would probably have immediately signaled his family¡¯s Guard Army to come and kill them.


    But after thinking about the other party¡¯s words, and considering how unscrupulously he had attacked, Wu Beihong still suppressed the impulse in his heart, almost squeezing two words out between his teeth: ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°Did they fight just now?¡±


    ¡°Wu Beihong actually lost? Who is that demigod, I didn¡¯t even see him use the Body Refining Star Technique.¡± The countless onlookers were uproarious, full of astonishment.


    Although Wu Beihong was not as famous as Jiang Shan, he still had a formidable reputation, known to possess the combat power of a Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Look quick, that mysterious demigod has already passed the fourth level.¡±


    ¡°The fifth level now!!¡±


    ¡°So fast.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s reached the sixth level already.¡± This scene left the onlookers dumbstruck.


    In less than ten seconds, from the first level directly through to the sixth?


    And that purple light, its speed almost unaffected, in just one minute had already shot up through the exit of the Ninth Level.


    The entire Nine Sound Building bloomed again with dazzling light.


    Cleared.


    ¡°My heavens! What am I seeing?¡±


    ¡°How long has it been, and he¡¯s already gotten through the complete Nine Sound Tower?¡± The previously somewhat subdued millions of spectators suddenly boiled over.


    The shock brought by this mysterious demigod was no less than Li Yuan passing the Nine Sound Tower.


    After all, although Li Yuan, at the Flying Heaven Level, had passed through, it seemed from the outside that it took a very long time.


    In contrast, the speed at which this mysterious demigod passed the trial proved that the Nine Sound Tower was far from his limit.


    Whoosh!


    ¡°This Nine Sound Tower, indeed quite mysterious.¡± Jing Kui¡¯s figure flashed, already crossing the Vast Sky, his eyes glancing at the void above. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    With his power, he could sense a large group of beings radiating powerful auras converging in that area.


    But he didn¡¯t care at all.


    ¡°Hmm, I shall pay a visit to the Nine Sounds True God then,¡± Jing Kui thought.


    In the high void, those dozens of Pseudo-Gods were shocked.


    Whether it was casually defeating Wu Beihong with a simple move, or crossing the Nine Sound Tower with astonishing speed, the strength Jing Kui displayed was beyond their imagination.


    ¡°Is this the young prodigy of the Ancient City you mentioned, Dong Lin?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God curiously asked.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God smiled and nodded.


    The encounter between Jing Kui and Wu Beihong was technically a violation of the laws of the Abyss Country, and it was only because he spoke up that the group of Pseudo-Gods allowed everything.


    Otherwise,


    even with Jing Kui¡¯s overwhelming strength, facing a group of Pseudo-Gods wouldn¡¯t end well as among them were more than one at the Peak of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Who is he?¡± a Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Cannot say,¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God shook his head: ¡°I have already reported to the King and the Black Abyss True God¡­ I can only tell you, he is the Saint Heir of the Ancient City.¡±


    Saint Heir?


    The group of Pseudo-Gods at the scene gasped.


    The Jue Xing Ancient City recruited reserve members, and although the requirements are high, given the broad recruitment across the entire Jue Xing Continent¡­ there were still quite a number of them.


    However, those who qualified to be referred to as Saint Heirs were very few and all represented the top geniuses of the younger generation from Jue Xing Ancient City.


    It could be said, anyone with the title of Saint Heir, as long as they did not fall, were almost destined to become True Gods.


    ¡°Unexpectedly, a Saint Heir traversed the continent, venturing into the Royal Capital of Yuan Country,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God sighed inwardly: ¡°Wu Beihong is already one of the top geniuses of Yuan Country¡­ compared to the Saint Heir of Jue Xing Ancient City, indeed much weaker.¡±

    In the Divine Fire Palace, within the Quiet Chamber,


    Li Yuan, whose will had transformed, resumed his cultivation after returning to the estate.


    ¡°Will is powerful.¡±


    ¡°It can stabilize my cultivation path and keep my spirit unshakeable, but to strengthen my power, and ultimately ascend to Heavenly God, will alone is not enough,¡± thought Li Yuan, his mind at peace.


    He was continuing to ponder the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± with speckles of spear silhouettes changing around him.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly received a message from Sha Xi Pseudo-God, the content was not complicated, he finished reading quickly.


    ¡°Wu Beihong failed the Nine Sound Tower? Normal.¡±


    ¡°But, the mysterious demigod Saint Heir from Jue Xing Ancient City, without using the Body Refining Star Technique, actually defeated Wu Beihong with one move?¡± Li Yuan was internally shocked: ¡°And passed the Nine Sound Tower in under a minute?¡±


    ¡°Was it that Jing Kui I met the first time at the Nine Sound Building?¡±


    Even with a will transformed to level 54, Li Yuan himself wondered if he could pass the Nine Sound Building that swiftly¡­ which truly shows how terrifying the soul will of the opponent is.


    The key is still strength.


    ¡°Jiang Shan said, both he and Wu Beihong, their Law Comprehension are at Seven Stages of Perfection, reaching the Pseudo-God Level, ready to advance at any moment,¡± Li Yuan silently pondered: ¡°And relying on powerful Star Technique, brought their foundation to Pseudo-God Level¡­ making their overall strength, comparable to the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.¡±


    In terms of strength,


    both Jiang Shan and Wu Beihong are surpassing Fang Hai from the combat during the Feixing period.


    ¡°But Jiang Shan himself feels uncertain about entering the top thousand before the battle in the Ancestral Realm,¡± Li Yuan secretly thought: ¡°If this mysterious demigod is really Jing Kui¡­ If he were to employ the Body Refining Star Technique, his strength among the Pseudo-God Middle Rank fighters might be considered quite strong.¡±


    ¡°Is this the strength of a Saint Heir from Starry Sky Ancient City?¡±


    The level at Pseudo-God Middle Rank varies tremendously with a large upper and lower bound.


    ¡°Even the Dongfang Alliance Leader, who was so powerful and unmatched in the Feixing battle years ago, just barely reached the Peak of Pseudo-God,¡± Li Yuan secretly sighed.


    Pseudo-God entirely surpasses the Demigod.


    Thus, even an Eight Star Veins Demigod, employing the Nine Layer Body Refining Technique, would at most reach near the Pseudo-God Middle Rank in terms of power basis¡­ making it extremely difficult to fight across ranks.


    ¡°Thus,¡±


    ¡°If I consider this mysterious demigod as a benchmark, wanting to obtain an Ancestral Realm Order in the battle of the Ancestral Realm in ten plus years,¡± Li Yuan thought: ¡°I would need at least to have near the Peak of Pseudo-God strength.¡±


    To say there is no pressure in such a short time would naturally be false.


    ¡°But good,¡±


    ¡°At least it let me completely understand the approximate strength of the top demigods on Jue Xing Continent,¡± Li Yuan calmed his heart, continuing to derive the Profoundness of the Spear Technique.


    No matter how high the talent,


    it needs daily accumulation, through day after day of cultivation and comprehension, could one welcome the day of a qualitative breakout.


    ¡­


    Jing Kui¡¯s outbreak truly shocked many, and also because he didn¡¯t reveal his identity, it triggered guesses among many uninformed Pseudo-Gods of Yuan Country.


    At the same time, due to Li Yuan, Jing Kui¡¯s consecutive actions, the news about this Nine Sounds Realm was also spreading at an astonishing rate.


    However,


    this all had no significant impact on Li Yuan for the time being; two days passed in a flash.


    As the Nine Sounds Realm closed again, Li Yuan also received another message from Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    It¡¯s time to meet the Nine Sounds True God.


    ¡°I¡¯m stepping out,¡± Li Yuan flew out of the Quiet Chamber, instructing Ren Qing.


    ¡°Yes, master,¡± Ren Qing was utterly respectful and then added: ¡°Master, in these past few days, there are many more divine families who came to visit¡­ Just the many congratulatory gifts they brought have again exceeded three thousand Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    She truly felt astonished.


    The days passed, and she and the other servants in the estate had also learned about Li Yuan¡¯s deeds in the Nine Sound Building.


    From the even more visiting divine families, one could even glimpse some, and many are families of princes.


    It made Ren Qing increasingly feel that being able to come under Li Yuan¡¯s command was a great fortune.

    Chapter 805: Chapter 421: The Powerful Jing Kui! Meeting the True God (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4


    ¡°Mm.¡± Li Yuan casually took the Storage Treasure, which also contained a list and a substantial amount of Divine Crystals.


    ¡°The visiting divine families are indeed numerous.¡±


    ¡°The gifts are clearly much heavier than before.¡± Li Yuan mused to himself, fully aware that these divine families did not expect to befriend him with these gifts alone.


    They were merely seeking to ¡®make their faces known¡¯.


    After all, if one were to predict the norm, Li Yuan was highly likely to become a True God in the future, perhaps even assume the position of King of Abyss Country¡­


    Correct, the succession of royalty in a Divine Kingdom is not always through war.


    In many powerful Divine Kingdoms, as the current King approaches the end of his life, he often abdicates voluntarily, choosing an appropriate successor¡­ and the successor need not necessarily be of his own bloodline.


    Like the Yuan Country Capital, it has historically been a Divine Country Capital, but it was not always Abyss Country.


    A Divine Kingdom can naturally last if a True God is born among its bloodline descendants.


    However.


    Looking across the entire Jue Xing Continent, aside from a very few powerful families, the vast majority of divine families would do well just to continuously produce Pseudo-Gods¡­ to consecutively produce True Gods? Extremely difficult!


    And for Abyss Country, as the core Divine Kingdom under the jurisdiction of Jue Xing Ancient City, ordinary True Gods are not qualified to be successors.


    ¡°Probably, there are many who guess that I will take over the Divine Kingdom in the future,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°After all, among the descendants of Jiang Yuan True God, not even one True God has been born, let alone a Peak True God.¡±


    ¡°Pity.¡±


    ¡°I a Demigod, am about to leave.¡±


    Thus, for these gifts, Li Yuan was mostly accepting whoever offered them; now just the gathered gifts alone were nearing a total value of close to five thousand Fangshen Crystals.

    Swoosh! Li Yuan arrived in the midst of void clouds, where Sha Xi Pseudo-God and Qian Huan True God were already waiting.


    Aside from the two Pseudo-Gods, Jiang Shan had also come.


    ¡°Greetings to the two Pseudo-Gods.¡± Li Yuan respectfully saluted.


    ¡°Just wait a little longer, someone else is coming,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said with a smile.


    Someone else? Li Yuan and Jiang Shan exchanged a glance, both already having their suspicions.


    As they anticipated, not long after, two figures descended through the clouds.


    One of them was Jing Kui, whom Li Yuan had met once before.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, let me introduce you, this is ¡®Dong Lin Pseudo-God¡¯ from Jue Xing Divine Mountain,¡± said Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Dong Lin Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully.


    To his knowledge, in terms of status, among the thousands of Pseudo-Gods of Yuan Country Capital, Dong Lin Pseudo-God was likely the highest, representing Jue Xing Ancient City after all.


    ¡°No need to be so courteous, in a few months, when we meet again, I might have to salute you,¡± said Dong Lin Pseudo-God with a smile, well aware of Li Yuan¡¯s terrifying talent.


    ¡°Let me introduce you, this person is¡­¡± Dong Lin Pseudo-God was about to speak.


    ¡°I¡¯ll introduce myself.¡± The black-robed youth said with a smile: ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, we have met before. Last time, I didn¡¯t tell you my specific status. I am a Reserve Member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, Brother Jing Kui is formidable,¡± said Li Yuan.


    The people around couldn¡¯t help but be surprised; Jing Kui and Xu Yuan had met before? This rekindled their speculation.


    ¡°Jiang Shan, I have met you before, though you may not remember,¡± Jing Kui looked at Jiang Shan: ¡°Although you are not as outstanding as Li Yuan, once you join Jue Xing Ancient City and rank within the top thousand on the Semi-Divine List, it should be no problem.¡±


    Jiang Shan smiled helplessly.


    He could tell that Jing Kui treated Li Yuan as someone who would be on the same level as himself in the future.


    As for himself? He was hardly taken seriously.


    ¡°Alright, since the three of you are familiar with each other, please follow me,¡± said Qian Huan Pseudo-God with a smile: ¡°The True Gods are already waiting for you.¡±


    Swoosh!


    With a wave of Qian Huan Pseudo-God¡¯s hand, an invisible force wrapped around Li Yuan, Jiang Shan, and Jing Kui, swiftly gliding through the clouds towards the higher layers of the void.


    The upper regions of the Royal Capital were heavily restricted, not even Pseudo-Gods could trespass without permission.


    But clearly, Qian Huan Pseudo-God possessed certain privileges.


    Soon after, the four of them passed through layers of clouds, arriving in front of a rather expansive Void Mountain Range.


    Looking into the distance, pavilions and terraces, various rare and Exotic Beasts, and the rich aura of Origin Power spread forward.


    Like a celestial realm.


    ¡°This is ¡®Nine Sounds Divine Mountain¡¯, also where my master, Nine Sounds True God, resides,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said with a smile: ¡°As per my master¡¯s instructions, the three of you will enter separately. Xu Yuan, you go first.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Xu Yuan nodded and directly flew towards the vast mountain peak suspended in the void, quickly approaching.


    Suddenly the surrounding space altered, many vague sights became clear, and a pavilion beside a waterfall came into view.


    In the pavilion, two figures stood.


    ¡°King?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise; one of the figures was Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there, come over,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile upon seeing Li Yuan.

 Chapter 806: 422

    Chapter 806: Chapter 422 ¡°Six Realms of Illusion


    ¡°King,¡± Li Yuan bowed respectfully.


    Even in the presence of his followers, the relationship as ¡®brother disciple¡¯ with Jiang Yuan True God must not be disclosed.


    ¡°This is the Nine Sounds True God,¡± announced Jiang Yuan True God. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Nine Sounds True God, was a woman dressed in a gently flowing purple gauze robe that resembled misty clouds, with two fluffy long ears, her most captivating feature being her pair of purple pupils which, combined with her breathtaking beauty, possessed a terrifying allure that could enthrall all.


    ¡°Greetings, True God,¡± Li Yuan held his breath.


    Even with Li Yuan¡¯s formidable Soul Will, he dared not meet her gaze directly, as if he would fall into a boundless sea of desires.


    True Gods proficient in the Soul Path, each one was terrifying.


    Before the era of the Divine, cultivators didn¡¯t delve deep into soul research, thus soul attacks had weak might¡­ But as cultivation progressed, due to different focuses in studying Secret Techniques and varied comprehensions of the Law, each supreme powerhouse could become extremely fearsome in their areas of expertise.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, you have done quite well.¡±


    A voice as gentle that it could make one¡¯s body tingle with numbness spoke, the Nine Sounds True God smiled and said: ¡°At the Flying Heaven Level, you managed to break through the Nine Sounds Realm I laid out. In the nearly ten thousand years of my cultivation, I have never encountered a little fellow with such a strong Soul Will¡­ No wonder the King praises you highly, convinced that in the future you could stand shoulder to shoulder with us, and even have a certain chance of becoming a great Heavenly Divine being.¡±


    ¡°True God flatters me.¡± Li Yuan bowed.


    ¡°The King truly values you.¡±


    ¡°It was I who summoned you, yet he made a point of coming here personally, probably because he fears I might mistreat you,¡± the Nine Sounds True God¡¯s twin purple pupils seemed alive, her voice even more enchanting, swaying one¡¯s mind and spirit: ¡°Such a powerful Soul Will, I really wish to take you as a disciple. You would surely become my best Successor¡­ It¡¯s just a pity.¡±


    ¡°The King does not allow it.¡± The Nine Sounds True God laughed, and her laughter was filled with seduction and emotion.


    Her tone towards Li Yuan didn¡¯t sound like how an elder would treat a junior, but more like one would treat a lover.


    Which made Li Yuan even more puzzled about her attitude.


    On the side, Jiang Yuan True God remained silent, appearing to be in a trance.


    ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t tease you any longer.¡± The Nine Sounds True God¡¯s voice suddenly softened again: ¡°I once made an external promise that those at the Flying Heaven Level who break through the Fifth Level of the Nine Sounds Realm would be given a gift, yet you passed the Ninth Level¡­ and the King spoke on your behalf.¡±


    ¡°I will give you a truly generous gift.¡±


    ¡°A gift that even the King would struggle to offer.¡±


    Hoo!


    ¡°This is the strongest Inheritance I have received, along with many insights into the cultivation of the soul, which I now bestow upon you,¡± said the Nine Sounds True God with a wave of her hand, and immediately a purple Crystal Stone flew directly towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t resist, just accept it quietly,¡± the Nine Sounds True God added.


    Li Yuan naturally did not resist any longer, only to see that the purple Crystal Stone landed on Li Yuan¡¯s forehead.


    The moment it touched.


    Boom! A vast amount of information began to flood crazily into Li Yuan¡¯s mind, emerging one after another.


    Even with the strength of Li Yuan¡¯s soul, it took quite some time to remember it all.


    In a trance.


    Boom!


    The moment the Method fully imprinted itself in Li Yuan¡¯s heart, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Consciousness seemed to be pulled an infinite distance away, entering another mysterious world.


    At the end of the void, there was an ethereal figure.


    His figure was not tall, clothed in a white robe, and compared to the entire void he seemed just a small dot, but the invisible power set him off as immensely majestic, as if shrouding the whole world.


    He was everywhere!


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness, unknowingly, was completely focused on him, unable to attend to anything else.


    ¡°I! Luo Kun!¡± the figure in white slowly spoke: ¡°The path of cultivation, the cultivation of Origin Power, the comprehension of Laws, all these are the continuous understanding towards higher levels of power¡­ All living beings are in pursuit of eternal life, in pursuit of power, but many have forgotten one thing.¡±


    ¡°The stronger the power, the stronger the Soul Will needed to control it.¡±


    ¡°If one possesses power, yet the spiritual heart does not grow, then even with eternal life, one will eventually get lost in the years, completely losing oneself, and in the end, the mental spirit will collapse and die.¡±


    ¡°The growth of will.¡±


    ¡°The metamorphosis of the soul!¡±


    ¡°These are the fundamentals of life, whereas external power is merely an extension; the stronger the heart, the stronger the power one wields,¡± said the figure in white: ¡°The foundation of the growth of the spiritual heart lies in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.¡±


    ¡°The Seven Emotions and Six Desires are the innate abilities of life, as well as the source of Life Evolution.¡±


    ¡°The ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ I created is divided into six realms, one realm is one world, and if one could fully cultivate all six realms, there is hope to completely control the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, achieving Perfection of the Dao Heart, and eternal life is within sight¡­ However, it¡¯s exceedingly difficult to fully cultivate successfully.¡±


    ¡°Cultivate with your heart¡ªeach progress will greatly enhance the growth of Spiritual Will, causing the soul to continually transform.¡±


    ¡°To cultivate it, it¡¯s best to combine it with Exotic Treasures like the ¡®Heart Illusion Flower¡¯ or ¡®Dream Realm Stone¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The First Realm of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion, is the Illusion of Joy and Anger¡­¡±


    ¡­


    Swoosh~


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness completely recovered, shock flashing in his eyes: ¡°This!! This Method.¡±


    In his mind, there was now an additional Method, the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion,¡¯ an incredible Method with many of Nine Sounds True God¡¯s personal realizations intermixed.


    ¡°It¡¯s too strong.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were full of awe: ¡°This is definitely an utmost supreme technique for tempering Spiritual Will, far surpassing the rudimentary Will Methods left to me by Qiu Bingzun.¡±


    Methods of Spiritual Will are hard to come by.


    Spiritual Will, elusive and subtle.


    ¡°Nine Sounds True God¡­ just an ordinary True God, could gift me such an unimaginable Method.¡±


    ¡°With this Method.¡±


    ¡°My will transformation speed will probably become even faster.¡± Thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Past.


    Although I possess the Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture, the Visualization Method and the cultivation of Spiritual Will are fundamentally different.


    Like before his Will underwent Transformation to reach the Pseudo-God level, Li Yuan has always relied on pure endurance of pain for Grinding himself.


    But the advancement of Will doesn¡¯t just depend on enduring pain; it also requires one to understand what one seeks and wishes for.


    And the Six Realms of Illusion is precisely a Method that dissects the fundamentals of the soul.


    Sigh!


    ¡°Thank you, Nine Sounds True God.¡± Li Yuan expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart and respectfully bowed: ¡°I shall never forget the grace of being taught.¡±


    Due to his strong Spiritual Will, Li Yuan understood the preciousness of this Method, which certainly surpassed the common Heavenly God Skills.


    ¡°There is no need for excessive formalities.¡±


    ¡°This Method also came to me by a fortunate coincidence; it is incomplete, containing only the first five Realms. The creator of this Law, Luo Kun, I am unaware of his realm; perhaps he transcends even the Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°Although the Method is incomplete, even I have yet to break through the fifth Realm, so you need not worry,¡± said Nine Sounds True God: ¡°However, to accept the inheritance, your Will must at least reach the level of a Pseudo-God before Lighting Divine Fire.¡±


    Li Yuan listened.


    This Method indeed was incomplete, having only the inheritance of the first five Realms, but it was already sufficient.


    Even the Nine Sounds True God, renowned for her Soul Path, has not yet cultivated to the end; what more for him?


    Also, a glimpse can reveal the whole picture.


    Li Yuan roughly guessed that the Nine Sounds Tower built by the Nine Sounds True God, with its boundless and mysterious Illusionary Realms, must have evolved from the Six Realms of Illusion.


    The difficulty of the sixth and ninth levels set up in the Nine Sounds Realm likely originated from it as well.


    To find someone capable of cultivating the Six Realms of Illusion on the Soul Path.


    ¡°In the Method, the Heart Illusion Flower, the Dream Realm Stone¡­ I¡¯ve never gotten them either, perhaps our world simply does not have such Exotic Treasures,¡± Nine Sounds True God looked at Li Yuan: ¡°But you, at Flying Heaven level, have such a strong Will, the future should enable you to exceed me.¡±


    ¡°I hope that you do not let down this Method.¡±


    ¡°I will certainly work hard,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°This Inheritance Stone can only be passed down five times; for Nine Sounds True God to be willing to pass it to you once is a tremendous kindness,¡± finally spoke Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°The inheritance imprint is within your memory, and until you cultivate it to Perfection, you cannot spread it¡­ I hope you remember this favor.¡±


    ¡°I understand,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    ¡°Nine Sounds, then I shall take my leave first,¡± Jiang Yuan True God waved his hand and already swept Li Yuan up into the sky, flying out of this cloud-wreathed Divine Mountain.


    Soon.


    Jiang Yuan True God brought Li Yuan to a cloud-filled expanse and stopped.


    Here lies a boundless void, where except for the clouds, there is nothing else.


    ¡°Unexpected it is.¡±


    ¡°Nine Sounds True God would actually bestow the Six Realms of Illusion to you. If the news that she possesses such a Method were to spread, even Heavenly Divines might be envious,¡± lamented Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°Most of her Direct Disciples have not received this Method.¡±


    Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    Direct Disciples haven¡¯t received it, but he has?


    ¡°Thank you, brother,¡± said Li Yuan respectfully.


    ¡°Don¡¯t thank me; I did not insist. She willingly gave it to you, perhaps it¡¯s because she took a liking to you,¡± continued Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°After all, your natural talent in Spiritual Will is honestly quite extraordinary; finding a seedling like you is indeed difficult.¡±


    Natural talent?


    Li Yuan knew that his soul talent may not be exceptionally high; perhaps it is just that he has been extremely diligent in practicing the Visualization Method.


    ¡°This time!¡±


    ¡°You truly performed well in the Nine Sounds Realm,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°In addition to Nine Sounds True God, I have also prepared some gifts for you.¡±


    Sigh!


    With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yuan True God sent a Storage Magical Treasure flying directly towards Li Yuan: ¡°Take a look inside.¡±


    Li Yuan reached out and received the Storage Magical Treasure.


    ¡°This!!¡± Li Yuan was astounded as soon as he sensed what was inside the Storage Magical Treasure.


    There were not many items, only three in total.


    The first item was no less than a thousand Jue Xing Divine Pills!


    With so many Jue Xing Divine Pills, Li Yuan need not worry about scarcity for the time being.


    The second item was a black puppet emanating a powerful aura, resembling a spider. It appeared quite delicate, yet its limbs seemed exceedingly sharp.


    ¡°A Pseudo-God Level puppet?¡± Li Yuan was shocked; in his sense, this puppet seemed even stronger than those of the Seven Star Civilization.


    The third item was a box made of special metal, holding within it a dark green fruit emitting an extremely appetizing fragrance, which tempted many people around to swallow it.


    ¡°The Awakening Divine Pill is not an extremely rare item; you may use as many as you need,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°The Pseudo-God Puppet can unleash the strength of a Pseudo-God Middle Rank. It is the strongest puppet I own, hence I leave it to you for protection on your path.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True God,¡± said Li Yuan.


    A Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet? Li Yuan was very aware of its value; many ordinary True Gods couldn¡¯t afford one even if they sold all they had.


    ¡°The third treasure is to assist your Soul Metamorphosis.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True God,¡± said Li Yuan.


    A Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet? Li Yuan was very aware of its value; many ordinary True Gods couldn¡¯t afford one even if they sold all they had.


    ¡°The third treasure is to assist your Soul Metamorphosis.¡±

 Chapter 807: 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation

    Chapter 807: Chapter 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation


    ¡°Assist in the metamorphosis of my soul?¡± Li Yuan was shocked inwardly, and observed the dark green fruit once more.


    The more he examined it with his Divine Sense, the more extraordinary it seemed, as if it contained some sort of profound mystery of the Great Dao Laws, but it also resembled many of the Soul Treasures he had encountered before, only much more powerful.


    Hum~ With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Divine Sense attempted to penetrate the fruit to inquire within.


    The moment of penetration.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    A surge of terrifying fluctuations, far beyond Li Yuan¡¯s imagination, instantly struck his Divine Sense, and the probing strand of Divine Sense was directly annihilated.


    Rumble~


    That overwhelming surge pierced through the Storage Treasure and directly impacted Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World.


    ¡°Huh!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s complexion changed slightly, and even with the strength of his Soul Will, he felt his Spiritual World trembling.


    Several seconds later, Li Yuan finally recovered.


    ¡°Such a powerful aura, it¡¯s as if it¡¯s facing the very Origin of heaven and earth,¡± Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.


    He had seen many treasures, among them True God Instruments and various Fifth Rank, even Sixth Rank treasures.


    But this dark green fruit surpassed the many treasures he had seen before.


    Suddenly.


    A thought flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind, and he looked at Jiang Yuan True God and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Senior Brother, is this an Origin Treasure?¡±


    ¡°Indeed, your perception is quite discerning, to have recognized it; most Pseudo-Gods probably could not,¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed, ¡°Yes, this is a Water Origin Treasure, most conducive to nurturing the soul.¡±


    An Origin Treasure? Li Yuan was shocked inside.


    He had obtained an Origin Treasure before, the ¡®Spirit of the Heavenly Wind¡¯ given to him by Qiu Bingzun during his time in the Ming Xu Star Realm, which allowed Li Yuan¡¯s talent in the Wind Law to undergo a transformation, reaching a higher level. (Chapter 322)


    Thus laying the foundation for Li Yuan¡¯s rapid progress in the Wind Law.


    But later, through exchanges with Liu Bing and Gu You, Li Yuan also learned that the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, despite being of lower value among Origin Treasures, was still considered a treasured relic to countless True Gods.


    If a Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet required many True Gods to trade all their treasures for one,


    Then Origin Treasures would be something many True Gods would go crazy for.


    ¡°Senior Brother, what is this treasure called?¡± Li Yuan asked curiously.


    ¡°Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit,¡± Jiang Yuan True God replied with a smile, ¡°I acquired it yesterday from the current City Lord of the Jue Xing Ancient City, at some cost.¡±


    Li Yuan held his breath; the current City Lord of the Jue Xing Ancient City? Without a doubt, it must be a Heavenly Divine being.


    ¡°Li Yuan!¡±


    ¡°To think it¡¯s the Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit, that¡¯s a treasured relic which many Heavenly Gods do not easily part with, even when nurturing their Direct Disciples,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice resounded in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, filled with shock: ¡°Among Origin Treasures, it¡¯s definitely one of the higher values, more than ten times that of the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind you obtained before¡­ Your senior brother is treating you too well.¡±


    ¡°This is definitely treatment reserved for a dearly beloved disciple of a Heavenly God.¡±


    ¡°With the Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit, your chances of awakening the Nine Star Pulse at the Flying Heaven Level will greatly increase,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice was quite excited.


    Li Yuan was even more astonished.


    Once, Gu You had mentioned that in the Divine Realm, many powerful forces would bestow Origin Treasures upon their genius Martial Artists starting from their Prime Warrior phase to attempt awakening the Eight Star Veins (Chapter 337).


    He didn¡¯t expect to have such a day for himself.


    To think about it, when Li Yuan was a Prime Warrior, he barely survived the struggle to achieve a Semi-Divine Level Soul¡­ The most critical reason was lack of resources; neither Gu You nor the Seven Star Civilization could produce top-tier treasures for cultivation.

    If he had possessed an Origin Treasure back then, there would have been no such crisis.


    Resources! They are of paramount importance on the path of Cultivation.


    ¡°Senior Brother, this Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit, are you truly gifting it to me? It¡¯s far too precious,¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t resist saying.


    Jiang Yuan True God was powerful, but in the end, he was still just a True God.


    ¡°It seems you understand its worth. Rest assured, in the Divine Realm, its value is extremely high, but inside Jue Xing Ancient City, there is a living ¡®Spiritual Abyss Jade God Tree¡¯ which continuously produces the fruit,¡± Jiang Yuan True God smiled, ¡°So, its value isn¡¯t as high as you think.¡±


    Li Yuan sighed inwardly; even if there was production, the effectiveness was undeniable.


    ¡°Actually.¡±


    ¡°With your talent, if you joined the Starry Sky Ancient City, willing to become a disciple under the Heavenly Divine Gate, you too could obtain this fruit,¡± Jiang Yuan True God went on, ¡°However, I do not recommend you become a disciple under another Heavenly God.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°There is no such thing as affection without reason in this world,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°The powerful pursue longevity, thirsting for eternal life.¡±


    ¡°Unless nearing the end of their lifespan, they don¡¯t actually have that much desire to propagate successors or to pass on teachings, even their own children can often face harsh expectations.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in understanding.


    Ordinary people desire offspring because their own lives are limited, wishing to pass on their genes and lineage¡­ But the super-strong already have longevity, their desire in that regard will sharply decrease.


    ¡°To take a master, the so-called Direct Disciple, in a certain sense, is not much different from one¡¯s own children, there is causality.¡±


    ¡°The mentor will have demands as well,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand now, but once you Light Divine Fire, you¡¯ll comprehend¡­ Causality is too heavy, entangling oneself is not necessarily a good thing.¡±


    ¡°Just like my teacher, Anchi Heavenly God is dead, gone with the Dao, so it doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°If you were to take a living Heavenly God as a master in this domain, it would be very troublesome,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said.


    Li Yuan thought deeply.


    Reflecting on his journey, the mentors he had taken, the many opportunities he had received, aside from Teacher Lie Feng, all had expectations¡­ All were to be repaid by him in the future.


    With cause, there must be effect.


    ¡°Like your acquisition of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, the majority of the causality between you and Nine Sounds True God lies with me, and I will help you carry it,¡± Jiang Yuan True God explained, ¡°Similarly, by you joining Jue Xing Ancient City, just display your natural talents¡­ I will communicate with the Heavenly Gods, explain that you are my Disciple, and will bear the majority of the causality myself.¡±

 Chapter 808: 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_2

    Chapter 808: Chapter 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_2


    ¡°In this way, the impact on you will be minimized.¡± Jiang Yuan True God laughed, ¡°And as for the cause and effect between us, you just need to fulfill the promise you made that day.¡±


    Li Yuan felt a surge of inexplicable emotion in his heart.


    Jiang Yuan True God was helping him, though with a motive, but he had indeed considered all aspects for him.


    ¡°Senior brother, thank you.¡± Li Yuan said sincerely.


    ¡°Haha.¡± Jiang Yuan True God couldn¡¯t help but laugh, openly saying, ¡°The reason I help you is firstly because of your identity, you can help me in the future, this is fundamental.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, it¡¯s because you have extremely high talent, almost no weaknesses, this is very important. Star Vein Talent and Law Talent may let you progress quickly, but a strong Soul Will allows you to go far.¡± Jiang Yuan True God solemnly stated.


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    Spiritual Will, indeed, is very important on the path of cultivation.


    Another thing Jiang Yuan True God didn¡¯t mention openly was that initially, in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, Li Yuan had asked him to rescue Jiang Xuan¡­ making a good impression on him.


    ?Merely from the matter of Jiang Xuan, Jiang Yuan True God preliminarily judged that Li Yuan would likely not betray him as long as he was treated sincerely.


    After all, although both parties have the constraints of a Law oath, a Law oath is not omnipotent.


    Li Yuan¡¯s own character is also very important.


    ¡°Entering Jue Xing Ancient City, without paying homage to the Heavenly Divine Gate, although you won¡¯t receive additional gifts, many treasures and methods of cultivation are still available.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°These, you have to fight for on your own.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Jiang Yuan True God had prepared well enough for him, he couldn¡¯t ask for more.


    ¡°Furthermore, even though you have awakened the Eight Star Veins, don¡¯t be in a rush to Ascend to Semi-Divine.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°The efficacy of the Lingyuan Biyu Fruit is fixed, the weaker you are, the better it absorbs perfectly¡­ If you Ascend to Semi-Divine, the effect on nurturing the soul will be significantly lessened.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    It was like remodeling a small house and a palace¡­ naturally the former is easier.


    Furthermore, Li Yuan also realized.


    Jiang Yuan True God, seems to think that he had awakened the Eight Star Veins after reaching Flying Heaven Level.


    Li Yuan did not explain further.


    Second Rank Eight Star Veins, saying it out would be too astonishing¡­ and would make many things unclear.


    For example, if he was a Second Rank Eight Star Veins member from the Chaos Divine Court¡­ logically, he should be highly valued, and treasures like Lingyuan Biyu Fruit should be available.


    ¡°Strive to transform into a Pseudo-God Level Soul while at Flying Heaven Level.¡± Jiang Yuan True God continued, ¡°By doing so, you can awaken more Life Stars at the Flying Heaven Level¡­ and increase the chances of awakening the Nine Star Pulse when Ascending to Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This Lingyuan Biyu Fruit is extremely difficult to refine because Jue Xing Ancient City has discovered a specialized method of absorption¡­ With your strength, it would take three to five or six years to perfectly absorb it.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°You are still young, no need to rush too much.¡±


    ¡­


    Carrying the many treasures given by Jiang Yuan True God, Li Yuan returned to the Divine Fire Palace.


    He immediately entered the Quiet Chamber, activated the Origin Power Array, making it impossible for the outside world to spy even slightly.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect this.¡±


    ¡°Thought it was just a meeting with the Nine Sounds True God, and getting a treasure worth several thousand Divine Crystals would be good, but the gain turned out to be so great.¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself.


    Whether it¡¯s the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion,¡± the Pseudo-God Middle Rank Puppet, or the Lingyuan Biyu Fruit, each was priceless.


    ¡°This cheap senior brother of yours, is indeed good to you.¡± A white-clad Phantom appeared beside Li Yuan, ¡°Even many Heavenly Divine treating their disciples might not compare to this.¡±


    ¡°This also shows his strength.¡±


    ¡°No wonder he previously said he was confident in Ascending to Heavenly Divine in the future.¡± Gu You said, ¡°I suspect, he is one of those extremely powerful beings, almost a terrifying existence like Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°Almost like Heavenly Divine?¡± Li Yuan was startled.


    This exceeding ranks in battle, the further it goes, the more challenging it becomes. True Gods whose power could match Heavenly Divine are much rarer than Heavenly Divine in the Divine Realm.


    ¡°For Heavenly Divine, one must thoroughly understand a Great Dao, and with a complete Great Dao, consolidate a Divine Rank.¡± Gu You explained, ¡°But some powerhouses attempt to understand multiple Great Daos, or have profound understanding of Space Law¡­ making their moves as mysterious as those of Heavenly Divine, even stronger than many Heavenly Divine.¡±


    ¡°Thus, even if their foundation is slightly weaker, these exceptional True Gods can still match Heavenly Divine.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    Just like himself, Spear Technique reached the Pseudo-God Level¡­ but even if he Ascended to Semi-Divine, could not reach Pseudo-God.


    Because, lighting Divine Fire prerequisites one of the Daos reaching Seven Stages of Perfection.


    ¡°Hope, with the help of Lingyuan Biyu Fruit, complete the Soul Metamorphosis.¡± Li Yuan said.


    ¡°This is mainly because your body is too weak, there¡¯s no way, the body is the foundation of the soul.¡± Gu You shook her head, ¡°Look at Jiang Shan, he¡¯s not much worse than Fang Hai, they are both Semi-Divine, their bodies much stronger than yours¡­ yet their souls still struggle to reach Pseudo-God Level.¡±


    ¡°You are merely at Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    ¡°But, your will is strong, and you have Origin Treasure.¡± Gu You¡¯s eyes held expectation, ¡°Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse, there¡¯s always a glimmer of hope.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded again.


    If it weren¡¯t so difficult, why would the Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse become a legend in the Divine Realm?


    ¡°Sister.¡± Li Yuan curiously asked, ¡°The final treasure left by Master¡­ could its value surpass Lingyuan Biyu Fruit?¡±


    ¡°You kid.¡±


    Gu You shook her head, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the treasure father left was beyond your imagination, even the Lingyuan Biyu Fruit cannot compare¡­ once you Ascend to Divine, and obtain all of father¡¯s inheritance, you will understand.¡± (Chapter 253)


    Li Yuan was slightly amazed, he had only asked casually.


    After all, the strength of Ancient Torch Divine seemed not to match Jiang Yuan True God, Qiu Bingzun.

 Chapter 809: 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_3

    Chapter 809: Chapter 423: The Spiritual Abyss Jade Fruit! Cultivation_3


    But according to Gu You, the Ancient Torch Divine had indeed left behind an extremely astounding treasured relic.


    ¡°You continue your cultivation, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore,¡± said Gu You, and immediately his phantom dissipated.


    In the Quiet Chamber, only Li Yuan remained.


    ¡°First, refine the Origin Treasure,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the Jade Platform, his heart quickly calming down.


    Sigh~


    Before him had already appeared the emerald green ¡®Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit¡¯, its aura restrained.


    But Li Yuan knew that once activated, it would unleash terrifying might.


    ¡°Refine.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan recalled the refinement method taught by Jiang Yuan True God in his mind, quite mysterious.


    This was a technique created by a Heavenly Divine of the Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s history, tailored to the properties of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit.


    Like taming a wild horse, brute force alone was almost impossible, but with some smart tricks and techniques, the effect could be doubled.


    The treasure itself possessed a spirit; without absolute powerful strength, one naturally needs a corresponding method to subdue it.


    ¡°Hiss¡±


    ¡°Hiss~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power and Divine Sense intertwined, invoking the Mysteries of Space, and divided into thousands of Origin Power threads. These threads, following some special patterns on the surface of the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, began to infiltrate into the fruit. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This time, the encountered resistance was indeed much smaller.


    ¡°First step, infiltrate!¡± Li Yuan was very confident internally.


    ¡°Second step, solidify patterns.¡±


    ¡­


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    Whoosh~


    The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit before Li Yuan suddenly burst into a strong light, followed by a slight aura being continuously restrained until it became ordinary.


    It had been completely refined by Li Yuan.


    ¡°Refining the Origin Treasure is somewhat similar to Artifact Refining; the method created by that Heavenly Divine is indeed unique,¡± Li Yuan sincerely admired.


    Without this method, facing the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, he could only watch helplessly.


    ¡°Absorb.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan moved the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit into the Origin Power Space.


    In the Origin Power Space.


    A nearly perfectly polished Origin Pill was suspended in the center, surrounded by strands of pure Origin Power.


    Sigh!


    The Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit suddenly appeared above the Origin Pill, then strands of mysterious power began to seep out of the fruit, drilling into the Origin Pill below¡­ merging into it.


    ¡°Buzz~¡±


    At the moment of merging, Li Yuan felt his Soul slightly tremble, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction from within.


    This feeling was not illusory.


    The strange power contained in the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit would fundamentally enhance the Soul Origin, making the Soul Origin stronger and more active.


    Not only conducive to breakthroughs, but even if the Soul suffered trauma, it would also recover more easily.


    Even without realizing, Li Yuan¡¯s Comprehension could also see a certain improvement.


    After all, the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, even for a Heavenly Divine, had many uses, let alone for a mere Flying Heaven Level individual like Li Yuan.


    Therefore.


    To fully absorb and refine it, to complete the Soul Transformation, would take a very long time.


    ¡°Looking at the absorption speed.¡±


    ¡°To completely refine it, I estimate it would take three to four years,¡± Li Yuan roughly judged.


    ¡­


    Absorbing the Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit, as long as a thread of thought was divided, it could continue without interruption.


    Subsequently.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, the cultivation information for the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion¡± emerged.


    ¡°The Six Realms of Illusion,¡± First Realm, Illusion of Joy and Anger.¡±


    ¡°Second Realm, Experience the Five Wills.¡±


    ¡°Third Realm, Comprehend Seven Emotions.¡±


    ¡°Fourth Realm, Color Longevity Desire.¡±


    ¡°Fifth Mirror¡­¡± Li Yuan pondered, ¡°To truly start practicing, the first step is to build the Spiritual Realm of Illusion, refining the mind within one¡¯s own Illusory Realm.¡±


    With a thought, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World began to undergo various changes, attempting to construct a stable Illusory Realm.


    Constructing the Spiritual Realm of Illusion is entirely different from casting an Illusion Technique.


    Casting an Illusion Technique is actually based on deceiving the opponent¡¯s Spiritual Consciousness, bewitching the six roots of desires, causing the opponent¡¯s Spiritual World to unknowingly alter itself¡­ The difficulty is very low.


    Whereas constructing the Spiritual Realm of Illusion is truly creating something from nothing, with extremely high difficulty.


    In just a moment, Li Yuan gave up.


    ¡°No wonder Nine Sounds True God expressed in his insights, without the Heart Illusion Flower, Dream Realm Stone, and other treasures, one must have a Pseudo-God Level Soul, only then can one start practicing,¡± Li Yuan frowned.


    A Pseudo-God Level Soul, powerful enough, can support the initial construct of the Spiritual Realm of Illusion.


    And Li Yuan? His Soul was still very weak.


    ¡°The Heart Illusion Flower, Dream Realm Stone and such treasures naturally possess effects of Illusory Realm transformation,¡± Li Yuan thought, ¡°With just a little induction, one can construct an Illusionary World for cultivation¡­ Even Nine Sounds True God doesn¡¯t have it, where do I find it?¡±


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    ¡°Should I temporarily give up cultivating the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯?¡± Li Yuan felt reluctant.


    He was well aware of the strength of this method; if he could cultivate it, his willpower would grow faster.


    ¡°No, that¡¯s not right!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a dream realm stone or any such treasured relic.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up: ¡°But I have another method, I must give it a try.¡±


    Whoosh~


    With a thought from Li Yuan, his spiritual consciousness had gathered in the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, rapidly descending into that vast starry sky.


    The Great Sun still shone.


    ¡°In the cultivation of the Visualization Method, within the Great Sun, countless illusory realms evolve, and it equally evokes many desires in me, pointing directly at my true heart,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body stood in the void, his eyes flickering: ¡°I was so foolish.¡±


    ¡°To have forgotten.¡±


    Li Yuan no longer hesitated, his consciousness body emitting a hazy, glazed light, swiftly approached the Great Sun.


    Wanting to verify what was in his mind.


    ¡°Rumble~¡±


    A magma fire serpent suddenly erupted, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body actively made contact, and at the same time, the method for cultivating the first realm of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ emerged in his mind.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness quickly became blurred, already entering into a layer of illusionary realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come on, let¡¯s take off.¡± A youth in casual attire was holding a four-or-five-year-old boy over his head, running in circles in the living room.


    ¡°Giggle, giggle! Flying in a plane,¡± the boy laughed joyously.


    ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t drop Li Yuan,¡± a young woman shouted from the kitchen while picking vegetables.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wife, I¡¯m a Martial Artist.¡± The youth in casual clothes laughed: ¡°Li Yuan, strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, okay? Then you can always fly.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The little boy chuckled blissfully, still unaware of what a Flying Heaven Warrior meant.


    ¡°Bro, Huichang and I are here, what delicious food has sister-in-law made? It smells so good!¡± Li Changzhou, in his early twenties, laughed as he walked in through the wide-open front door, carrying big and small bags.


    ¡°Changzhou is here, come on in, no need to bring anything,¡± the young woman quickly came out from the kitchen¡­


    The family was extremely warm¡­


    ¡°Dad, Mum¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness merged with his younger self, sensing vaguely.


    Some once vague memories, unnoticeably surfaced in his mind.


    Gradually, there was a tear in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    It was out of joy, yet this extremely warm scene could never return.


    ¡­


    During elementary school, after recovering from a serious illness, Li Yuan could finally start living and studying like a normal child.


    ¡°Haha, Li Yuan can run now.¡± Li Changzhou was extremely excited: ¡°Huichang, Li Yuan can finally run.¡±


    Li Yuan also felt immense joy in his heart.


    ¡­


    Scene by scene, continuously embodying realizations.


    Layer upon layer of illusionary realms endured continuously.


    A magma fire serpent suddenly erupted, Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness body actively made contact, and at the same time, the method for cultivating the first realm of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ emerged in his mind.


    ¡°Sizzle~¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness quickly became blurred, already entering into a layer of illusionary realm.


    ¡°Li Yuan, come on, let¡¯s take off.¡± A youth in casual attire was holding a four-or-five-year-old boy over his head, running in circles in the living room.

    ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t drop Li Yuan,¡± a young woman shouted from the kitchen while picking vegetables.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wife, I¡¯m a Martial Artist.¡± The youth in casual clothes laughed: ¡°Li Yuan, strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior in the future, okay? Then you can always fly.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The little boy chuckled blissfully, still unaware of what a Flying Heaven Warrior meant.


    ¡°Bro, Huichang and I are here, what delicious food has sister-in-law made? It smells so good!¡± Li Changzhou, in his early twenties, laughed as he walked in through the wide-open front door, carrying big and small bags.


    ¡°Changzhou is here, come on in, no need to bring anything,¡± the young woman quickly came out from the kitchen¡­


    The family was extremely warm¡­


    ¡°Dad, Mum¡­¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness merged with his younger self, sensing vaguely.


    Some once vague memories, unnoticeably surfaced in his mind.


    Gradually, there was a tear in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    It was out of joy, yet this extremely warm scene could never return.


    ¡­


    During elementary school, after recovering from a serious illness, Li Yuan could finally start living and studying like a normal child.


    ¡°Haha, Li Yuan can run now.¡± Li Changzhou was extremely excited: ¡°Huichang, Li Yuan can finally run.¡±


    Li Yuan also felt immense joy in his heart.


    ¡­


    Scene by scene, continuously embodying realizations.


    Layer upon layer of illusionary realms endured continuously.

    Chapter 810: Chapter 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade


    Li Yuan did not obtain the Illusionary Realm Stone or the Heart Illusion Flower.


    ¡°The Six Realms of Illusion¡± has a detailed description of their effects, which led Li Yuan to compare them and feel that the Divine Palace¡¯s Great Day is better and more perfect.


    ¡°Without the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, if I tried to temper my heart directly with the Divine Palace¡¯s Great Day with no control, it would provoke many desires in my heart, making the difficulty of the illusionary realm uncontrollable¡­ leading me to the risk of getting lost.¡±


    ¡°But with the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, the higher levels of visualization contained in the Divine Palace¡¯s Great Day seem to be prepared by the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯,¡± Li Yuan wasn¡¯t sure if he should feel fortunate.


    His luck seemed to have gotten a bit better.


    ¡°Forget it.¡±


    ¡°Continue cultivating, before it was joy, now maybe I should try the illusionary realm of anger.¡± Li Yuan thought, and had once again entered the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    ¡°Little Yuan, no mother, can¡¯t run, big dummy.¡±


    ¡°Little Yuan, no mother¡­¡± A group of seven or eight-year-old children laughed wantonly, surrounding the weak-bodied little boy and shouting incessantly.


    Li Yuan carried a small backpack, clenched his little fists, eyes brimming with unshed tears, but he strived not to let them fall.


    But he did not want to cry out.


    He knew that if he cried, if he screamed, these annoying classmates would be even happier.


    He also dared not resist because he was weak and could not run.


    ¡°What are you all doing.¡± Suddenly a stern voice sounded, scaring the group of children away instantly.


    ¡°Little Yuan, it¡¯s okay, don¡¯t listen to their nonsense.¡± Auntie Chen Hui hurried over and embraced Li Yuan in her arms. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m not stupid.¡± Li Yuan finally couldn¡¯t hold back and burst into tears.


    Feeling wronged, angry, a surge of emotions swept over him.


    ¡°You¡¯re not stupid; our Little Yuan is the smartest.¡± Chen Hui comforted him continuously: ¡°These classmates, I will call your teacher He later¡­¡±


    ¡­ In the classroom, after being criticized, a classmate immediately retorted, ¡°Li Yuan did it too before, why didn¡¯t you criticize him?¡±


    ¡­ On the internet forum, watching a favorite Martial Path practitioner self-reproach for not being able to save more people and being seriously injured, only to be slandered and defamed by a group of keyboard warriors¡­


    ¡­ In the classroom, listening to the teacher talk about the Feixing battle, upon seeing the slaughter footage and videos of the Myriad Demons Civilization invading Feixing, waves of anger surged within him¡­


    In the Mingxu Star Realm, watching helplessly as Liu Jing rushed into the Flying Serpent Valley¡­


    During the Fish Spirit Tide in Jiang City, fighting side by side with his teacher Xu Bo for the first time, only to witness the teacher¡¯s life gradually approaching its end¡­


    Numerous past experiences related to ¡®anger¡¯ emerged in Li Yuan¡¯s mind at this moment.


    Anger, indignation, rage¡­ Hating that he was not strong enough.


    The illusionary realm constructed by the Mind Spirit Divine Palace was too realistic.


    Almost perfectly replicating the various experiences Li Yuan had gone through, deeply immersed in the illusion, his emotions fluctuated intensely with each level of the realm.


    ¡°Joy, the many wonderful experiences in my life that make me cherish the world, are the most precious memories deep in the heart¡­ This life is to pursue more joy.¡±


    ¡°Anger, drives me to cultivate manically, the force behind life¡¯s evolution, simply because I refuse to let the many past regrets reoccur.¡± Li Yuan had an epiphany.


    The seven emotions and six desires are the sources of life.


    The aim of cultivating ¡°The Six Realms of Illusion¡± is not to strip away emotions but for cultivators to confront and control emotions, and then to harness the emotional power contained within the spirit, eventually forging the strongest will.


    ¡°Face joy and anger.¡±


    ¡°Chase after joy without being addicted to it, and not let anger control oneself.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s spiritual will also continually progressed and transformed under the sequential realms and cultivation of the ¡°Six Realms of Illusion.¡±


    However.


    It sounds easy to experience joy and anger, but controlling them truly is no overnight feat.


    Only through sufficient experiences can one achieve control.


    ¡­


    The Nine Sounds Realm¡¯s event concluded.


    But as the core of the vast land and a gathering place of divinities, various events in the Yuan Country Capital were endless, albeit no longer much related to Li Yuan.


    First on the Flying Heaven List, with Semi-Divine Peak strength and Divine Level will¡­ anyone with a bit of sense understood that the highest echelons of Yuan Country would definitely value him highly, even more so than Jiang Shan.


    Li Yuan was always quietly cultivating.


    When tired of cultivating his spiritual will, he would deduce Spear Technique to unravel the Mysteries of the Law.


    When he reached a bottleneck with Spear Technique, he continued to attempt awakening his Life Star.


    His will breakthrough also allowed Li Yuan to use more Jue Xing Divine Pills, accumulating over 210 in total, increasing the number of Unowned Life Stars in his Life Starry Sky, yet he was still unable to awaken the ninth Star Meridian.


    In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed, and the day to head to the Starry Sky Ancient City was getting closer.


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Continent, East Sea, where countless islands are scattered, along with many Floating Cities, and small worlds that have been developed.


    The majority of the East Sea is controlled by one of the Six Great Holy Lands, the ¡®East Nether Sacred Land.¡¯


    Black Blade Island.


    Though called an island, it spans nearly ten million miles, an immensely vast area, inhabited by trillions of beings, and the entire island is ruled by the Black Blade Divine Kingdom.


    In the eastern part of the island, amidst the rolling clouds and mists, lies a city spanning thousands of kilometers, and above the clouds, the palatial Imperial Palace of the Divine Kingdom is filled with beautiful women, opulence beyond measure.


    Suddenly, the central palace burst forth with layers of light.


    ¡°The King.¡±


    ¡°The King has arrived.¡± All the servants and beautiful maidens in the Imperial Palace understood.

 Chapter 811: 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_2

    Chapter 811: Chapter 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_2


    All those who come to the Imperial Palace are at least of Semi Divine Level. Among them, there are thousands of demigod beauties serving as the King¡¯s concubines, and an astonishing number of male favorites¡­


    ¡°Greetings to the King.¡± Respectful voices echoed throughout the entire Imperial Palace, especially within the central palace.


    ¡°King.¡± That group of Pseudo-God Level women, each incredibly seductive, possessing astounding enchantment abilities, now all respected him as humbly as servants.


    ¡°I have been focusing on my Cultivation recently, so I will spare you all. Dismissed.¡± A sinister youth, casually draped in a black robe, sat on a lofty throne, exuding quite a fierce aura.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The Pseudo-God Level serving concubines sighed in relief in their hearts.


    They were all clear on how cruel their King was¡­ Every time they served in his bed, even though they were all Pseudo-Gods, they would be ravaged to near death. As for those Semi-Divine outside the palace¡­ more than ninety percent would end up dead.


    Over the long years, within the territory of the Divine Kingdom, the number of demigod women who had died at the hands of the King had long exceeded ten thousand.


    Yet no one could resist.


    Because the King was among the most powerful in the ranks of True Gods, an influential figure throughout the entire Holy Land.


    What was the killing of a few demigods to him?


    Soon after, the palace full of Pseudo-God concubines left. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several figures flew into the palace.


    They were all Pseudo-Gods, but none dared to look around¡­ They were well aware of their King¡¯s temperament. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°King.¡± Four Pseudo-Gods respectfully saluted.


    ¡°I have secluded myself for over a year this time.¡± The Black Blade True God looked down at his subordinates, casually enjoying a cup of Immortal Brew and said indifferently, ¡°Report to me about the tasks I¡¯ve given you.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°King, about your order to acquire a variety of treasures, I have relayed the message to thousands of True Gods and tens of thousands of Pseudo-Gods in the Holy Land. Quite a few have come to trade, and a portion has already¡­¡± The first Pseudo-God reported his tasks.


    ¡°Not bad, speed up the process, complete it within five years,¡± Black Blade True God replied indifferently.


    He was purchasing treasures on such a large scale because it related to his own Cultivation.


    Soon, the first three True Gods completed their report.


    ¡°King, these are some of the important pieces of intelligence that have occurred on Jue Xing Continent in the past year or so.¡± A black-robed Pseudo-God reported respectfully, ¡°Changqing Ancient City is conducting large-scale selections for great talents, likely in preparation for the next Ancestral Realm War.¡±


    ¡°Western Region of the Continent, Ghost Shuttle True God and¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°In Heavenly Snake Ancient City, a new Flying Heaven level individual with the Heavenly Serpent Bloodline has emerged, reputedly entering ¡®Heavenly Snake Holy Realm¡¯ for Cultivation. Exact details are unknown,¡± reported the black-robed Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Heavenly Serpent Bloodline? Disappeared for so many millennia, and now another one has surfaced?¡± Black Blade True God was stunned briefly before shaking his head, ¡°Never mind, that¡¯s for the Saint Lord to consider. That¡¯s another ancient city¡¯s worry, not ours. Next piece of intelligence.¡±


    Each piece of important intelligence could slightly influence the situation across the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    But after all, it had only been just over a year.


    ¡°King.¡±


    ¡°The Eastern Abyss Kingdom, which you instructed us to observe closely, has recently produced a peerless genius, probably of Saint Heir level,¡± said the black-robed Pseudo-God, ¡°We have collected detailed intelligence on him. He should be no more than fifty years old, a local of the Abyss Country, of Flying Heaven Level, yet already possesses Semi-Divine Peak strength¡­¡±


    ¡°This individual is called Xu Yuan and is currently the number one on the Divine Fire Palace¡¯s Flying Heaven List in the Abyss Country.¡±


    The black-robed Pseudo-God swiftly relayed information about Li Yuan.


    ¡°A Saint Heir level genius?¡±


    ¡°Under Jiang Yuan¡¯s command? Bullshit!!¡± Murderous intent flickered in Black Blade True God¡¯s eyes, ¡°He has ruled over Abyss Country for tens of thousands of years, and it¡¯s the first time such a level of genius has emerged.¡±


    On Jue Xing Continent, so-called Saint Heir level geniuses were those who would definitely become True Gods as long as they did not die.


    After all, most geniuses, like Jiang Shan, Wu Beihong and others, no one could guarantee they would become True Gods when they were of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Yes,¡± replied the black-robed Pseudo-God, ¡°In Jue Xing Ancient City, the number of Semi-Divine Saint Heirs has always varied between five and twenty¡­ On average, only about thirty Saint Heirs emerge every thousand years.¡±


    ¡°And judging from various intelligence, this Xu Yuan is among the stronger Saint Heir level geniuses. As per the intelligence assessment from the Holy Land, there¡¯s a more than ninety percent chance he will reach True God Peak¡­ A very small chance to Ascend to Heavenly God,¡± said the black-robed Pseudo-God.


    Each Holy Land has its own intelligence agency.


    As a core figure of East Nether Sacred Land, Black Blade True God naturally obtained a lot of free intel directly from the Holy Land.


    ¡°Such good fortune!¡±


    ¡°Such a monstrous talent has emerged in his territory.¡± Black Blade True God¡¯s gaze was icy, ¡°This Xu Yuan, has he joined Jue Xing Ancient City?¡±


    ¡°Not yet,¡± replied the black-robed Pseudo-God, ¡°There is still over a month left until Jue Xing Ancient City opens its next round of recruitment for reserve members.¡±


    ¡°Good,¡± Black Blade True God¡¯s eyes brimmed with murderous intent, ¡°It¡¯s better that he hasn¡¯t joined yet.¡±


    He had a life-and-death feud with Jiang Yuan True God, and each yearned to kill the other¡­ Yet, since both were exceptionally powerful and belonged to different major powers, they had been unable to harm one another.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Originating from Abyss Country and highly regarded, he will definitely support that bastard Jiang Yuan to the fullest should he rise to power, and he will eventually become my enemy,¡± Black Blade True God mused with murderous intent, ¡°Why not take action before he joins Starry Sky Ancient City and strike first?¡±


    If Xu Yuan had already joined Starry Sky Ancient City, then Black Blade True God would hesitate.


    Because making a move would be a provocation of Starry Sky Ancient City.


    But if he hasn¡¯t joined yet? Even if he made a covert move, the Heavenly Divine of Starry Sky Ancient City would not go so far as to deal with him.


    ¡°Should I go in person? No!¡±


    ¡°If my presence is detected within Yuan Country Capital, I might not live to get out.¡± Black Blade True God contemplated.


    His strength was already significantly weaker than Jiang Yuan True God; entering the latter¡¯s stronghold would be extremely dangerous.

 Chapter 812: 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_3

    Chapter 812: Chapter 424: Hostility of the True God of the Black Blade_3


    ¡°Seek help from other True Gods?¡± Various thoughts flashed through the mind of Black Blade True God.


    When a True God makes a move, theoretically they could kill Xu Yuan with one strike.


    However, any foreign True God entering the Yuan Country Capital would immediately attract attention, making it difficult to make a move.


    The key issue is, not many True Gods are willing to provoke Jiang Yuan True God, and those who dare to make a move would demand an extremely high price.


    ¡°Perhaps I should rely on Pseudo-Gods instead.¡± Black Blade True God made his decision, as he had many Pseudo-Gods under his command.


    ¡°A Pseudo-God, as long as they find the opportunity, can easily eliminate a minor of Flying Heaven Level.¡±


    Just an hour later.


    The Pseudo-Gods who had reported the information had left, but an old man shrouded in a gray robe, exuding a dense aura of dusk, arrived at the palace in the center of the Imperial Palace.


    ¡°Xing Chan, pays respects to the King.¡± The gray-robed elder bowed respectfully.


    ¡°Xing Chan, you have lived for over four thousand years, haven¡¯t you?¡± Black Blade True God looked down at the gray-robed elder.


    ¡°Reporting to the King, I have cultivated for over four thousand nine hundred years, and my lifespan limit is not far away,¡± the gray-robed elder said, ¡°The King has shown great kindness to me and helped me a lot, but to ascend from Pseudo-God to True God is indeed extremely difficult, I have disappointed you.¡±


    The path of cultivation gets harder the further one advances.


    For a Pseudo-God to break through to True God, they need to meet various requirements concerning the Law Comprehension, Star Meridian, Soul Will¡­ Among thousands of Pseudo-Gods, hardly one can break through to become a True God.


    ¡°You want to break through to become a True God, but I can no longer help you more,¡± Black Blade True God slowly said. ¡°However, I recall there¡¯s a youngster called ¡®Xing Ye¡¯ among your descendants, who has pretty good talent.¡±


    ¡°The King knows of Xing Ye?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God was astonished, numerous thoughts flashing through his mind.


    He was well aware that if the King suddenly summoned him, there must be a reason.


    ¡°I can help Xing Ye, help her secure a spot from the Holy Land in the ¡®You Dragon Realm¡¯,¡± Black Blade True God slowly stated.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God was startled.


    You Dragon Realm was a highly important treasure land in the East Nether Sacred Land, where ordinary Demigods cannot enter.


    Although Xing Ye Demigod was the best among his descendants, compared to countless demigods in the entire East Nether Sacred Land, she was quite inconspicuous.


    ¡°I wonder what the King wants me to do?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God calmed down.


    As a man near his death, what he most worried about was his descendants¡­ But for his family, it was too difficult to produce another Pseudo-God in a short time.


    Once he died, the entire family¡¯s status would rapidly decline.


    ¡°I want you to go to the Yuan Country Capital in the East Domain and kill a person named ¡®Xu Yuan¡¯,¡± Black Blade True God slowly said.


    ¡°Xu Yuan?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God was confused, he hadn¡¯t heard of him.


    ¡°This is the information about him.¡± Black Blade True God waved his hand, a surge of invisible fluctuations swept by, and a large amount of information had entered Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s mind.


    Quickly, Xing Chan Pseudo-God completely understood!


    ¡°In Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s stronghold.¡±


    ¡°To kill his most extraordinary genius?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s expression grew grave.


    That was the lair of a True God Limit Expert, known as an unmatched existence below the Heavenly Divine.


    In the Royal Capital, there were several True Gods.


    This mission was definitely a suicidal one.


    As long as he dared to make a move in Yuan Country Capital, his death would be certain¡­ If unlucky, he might even be captured alive, which would be worse than death.


    ¡°The choice is yours.¡±


    ¡°If you are willing, even if you fail and die, I will protect your descendants. If you succeed in killing Xu Yuan, I can promise to help Xing Ye become Pseudo-God,¡± Black Blade True God said indifferently, ¡°But if you are unwilling, then let¡¯s forget about it.¡±


    ¡°I will only give you one month.¡±


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s expression changed.


    From the East Sea to the Yuan Country, even if he could use the Transmission Array¡­ he would have to leave immediately.


    Black Blade True God did not press him, since persuading a Pseudo-God Peak to willingly face death was extremely difficult.


    But he knew Xing Chan Pseudo-God very well and was highly confident.


    After a moment.


    ¡°Alright!¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God spoke lowly: ¡°King, I am willing, and will do my best to kill Xu Yuan¡­ I just hope the King won¡¯t forget your promise.¡±


    He dared not make Black Blade True God swear by Law.


    He could only rely on the other¡¯s reputation.


    Fortunately, although Black Blade Divine acted domineering and oddly, he was quite trustworthy overall.


    ¡°Rest assured.¡± Black Blade True God said: ¡°Then proceed as quickly as possible¡­ Remember one thing, if Xu Yuan joins the Starry Sky Ancient City, our agreement will be voided, and you don¡¯t have to act anymore.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God respectfully said and quickly left. He still had some preparations to make.


    That day, Xing Chan Pseudo-God left Black Blade Island. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Jue Xing Continent, it¡¯s too vast, including the East Nether Sacred Land, Jue Xing Ancient City territory didn¡¯t have a direct Transmission Array.


    After a full half-month.


    Yuan Country Capital.


    A white-robed youth passed through the normal gates and entered the inner part of Yuan Country Capital.


    ¡°A Demigod?¡±


    ¡°A Demigod, looking unfamiliar, the life breath is not recorded in the monitoring system, must be his first visit,¡± the two Pseudo-Gods of the monitoring Formation directly sensed the aura of the white-robed youth but didn¡¯t pay much attention.


    After all, Yuan Country Capital is an important convergence point on Jue Xing Continent, with many strong beings arriving year-round.


    Not to mention unfamiliar Demigods, even unfamiliar Pseudo-Gods were quite normal.


    The white-robed youth smoothly entered the city.


    ¡°Go to the outside of Divine Fire Palace, rent a cave dwelling.¡± A cold voice echoed in the mind of the white-robed youth.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God, was hiding inside a Cave Heaven Treasure carried by the white-robed youth.


    He was very cautious, even though he had not appeared in the East Domain for over a thousand years and had not clashed with the gods of Yuan Country, he still dared not directly enter Yuan Country Capital.


    If he were recognized as coming from Black Blade Divine Kingdom and killed on the spot, that would be truly unjust.

 Chapter 813: 424 Hostility of the True God of Black Blade_4

    Chapter 813: Chapter 424 Hostility of the True God of Black Blade_4


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God, before entering the Jinyuan Kingdom¡¯s Capital, had already purchased intelligence through other channels, knowing that Li Yuan mostly stayed in the Divine Fire Palace.


    He would only occasionally go out.


    One day.


    Two days.


    Three days. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­At first, Xing Chan Pseudo-God was patient, but as days passed, he grew anxious: ¡°According to the intelligence, doesn¡¯t Xu Yuan often go to the Nine Sound Building?¡±


    ¡°Why is it that he is about to leave Jue Xing Ancient City, but still keeps staying in the residence inside the Divine Fire Palace?¡±


    ¡°I surely can¡¯t just barge into the Divine Fire Palace.¡±


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God was well aware that the Yuan Country Capital was enveloped by a grand formation, so the moment he took action, he would be detected¡­ there would only be one or two seconds of time.


    Therefore, only outside the Divine Fire Palace would there be an opportunity to assassinate.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡°I refuse to believe that in these last ten days, he will keep staying inside the Divine Fire Palace.¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God thought to himself: ¡°If there¡¯s really no opportunity¡­ I might as well give up.¡±


    Not assassinating, although it meant missing the chance to see another Pseudo-God born in his clan, he could also live for several more decades.


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Palace, inside Li Yuan¡¯s residence.


    On an open ground.


    ¡°Whirl~¡± Li Yuan held an ordinary Demigod Level Long Spear, silently cultivating his Spear Technique.


    Reaching a realm like Li Yuan¡¯s, what the weapon was, didn¡¯t matter as much; what was important was Law Comprehension and application, thus, continually meditating and sensing the mysteries of the world could keep enhancing his cultivation.


    However, Li Yuan was used to practicing with a spear, hence, from time to time, he would practice his Spear Technique.


    Practicing spearmanship was Li Yuan¡¯s habit, and also helped him find more peace within.


    Not far away, Ren Qing stood there reverently, watching.


    Li Yuan never minded this.


    ¡°The master¡¯s Spear Technique is truly profound. Even though I can¡¯t feel intense Law Fluctuations or Origin Power fluctuations¡­ as the long spear moves, it feels like my soul is trembling.¡± Ren Qing quietly muttered to herself; she too had entered the Threshold of the Law.


    But compared to Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique, she knew what being a peerless genius meant.


    Yet, she didn¡¯t know that Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique now primarily involved the Space Law, and space itself is formless¡­ Ordinary demigods found it extremely hard to sense spatial fluctuations.


    Unless Li Yuan used strong Origin Power to induce spatial fluctuations, otherwise, demigods wouldn¡¯t notice them and would only feel that Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique was incredibly sharp and inscrutably profound.


    Gradually.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Spear Technique changed slightly, the fierce moves subtly carried a thick essence, followed by an invisible Law Fluctuation enveloping him, then dispersing.


    ¡°The Law of Earth, finally advanced from the Initial to Intermediate Rank of the Seventh Stage.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s lips curled into a smile.


    His own Spear Technique, was a fusion of three Great Daos, and now centered around the Mysteries of Space.


    However, with the breakthrough in the Law of Earth, if this comprehension could be perfectly integrated into his Spear Technique, it could also enhance the might of his spear further.


    ¡°Wind, Earth, Space, the comprehension of these three Great Daos break through respectively and then continuously merge into the Spear Technique, this makes the might of the Spear Technique stronger and stronger, and will ultimately let me comprehend the fifth style of the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The fourth style of the ¡®Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯, in terms of the profundity of moves, is only at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God standard.


    If he could realize the fifth style, ¡®Divine Soldier¡¯s Intent¡¯, with this move, even among countless Pseudo-Gods, in terms of moves, he would not be considered weak.


    Time passed, Li Yuan constantly perfected his Spear Technique.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Eh? Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God sends a message.¡± Li Yuan sensed a message from the Magical Treasure used for communication: ¡°Xu Yuan, the many treasures you ordered have been delivered more than ninety percent, the ¡®Void Illusory Rare Stone¡¯ has also been acquired, come quickly to the Nine Sound Building.¡±


    ¡°The goods have arrived? Finally, I can cultivate the ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes brightened, without much hesitation, he put away the long spear and instructed Ren Qing.


    Followed by a soaring leap, he left the Divine Fire Palace.

 Chapter 814: 425 Assassination! Li Yuans Death Crisis

    Chapter 814: Chapter 425 Assassination! Li Yuan¡¯s Death Crisis


    Since meeting with the Nine Sounds True God, Li Yuan has established a connection with the Nine Sounds Building and has even had some exchanges with the Nine Sounds Building¡¯s master ¡®Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God.¡¯


    During these past two months in the Royal Capital,


    besides daily cultivation, Li Yuan has been asking the Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God to purchase some treasures, all of which are necessary for his next Star Technique cultivation.


    Li Yuan thinks clearly about the future; once he awakens the Nine Star Pulse and breaks through to become Semi-Divine, as the wielder of the Nine Star Pulse, his Origin Power will rapidly cultivate to level 42 or even 43. Furthermore, with some Origin Power entering his body¡­ he will swiftly meet the requirements to cultivate the Fourth Rank Nine Layer Star Technique.


    So, rather than seeking at the last moment, it is better to prepare now.


    The Nine Sounds Building, besides offering pleasure, also conducts various business transactions of buying and selling treasures, possessing astounding energy which far exceeds that of common shops.


    The most important point is that with Li Yuan¡¯s identity, the Thousand Illusions Pseudo-God dares not swindle him.


    ¡°I never expected that it would take the Nine Sounds Building more than a month to obtain the Void Illusory Rare Stone,¡± Li Yuan pondered internally.


    Of the five Nine Layer Star Techniques he cultivated, only ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± is a Seventh Layer Star Technique. Although its might is decent, it¡¯s far from comparable to the Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Myriad Shadows Void.¡±


    And the key treasure needed to cultivate ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± is none other than the Void Illusory Rare Stone.


    In the Seven Star Civilization era, Li Yuan had once inquired with Dongfang Ji, who couldn¡¯t produce it.


    Until today.


    Finally, through the Nine Sounds Building, Li Yuan obtained it.


    ¡°It¡¯s also fortunate.¡±


    ¡°Jue Xing Continent was once a part of the Divine Realm, and many inheritances remain intact,¡± Li Yuan smiled, ¡°The vast majority of treasure names are the same as in the Divine Realm, saving me much trouble.¡±


    If the names of the treasures were different, even if such treasures existed on Jue Xing Continent, Li Yuan might not have been able to purchase them.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan flew out of the Divine Fire Palace, following the streets, he directly headed towards the Nine Sounds Building.


    ¡°Young Master Li Yuan, going out again?¡± The two Semi-Divine Commanders at the door were still greeting Li Yuan.


    ¡°Mhm.¡± Li Yuan nodded indifferently.


    Li Yuan had just flown tens of kilometers away from the Divine Fire Palace.


    A Semi-Divine in a white robe seemed to have just flown out from a certain cave dwelling, looking down in thought, he flew straight towards the direction of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Semi-Divine? Level 46?¡± Li Yuan scanned him briefly without paying much attention.


    During the previous times, Li Yuan was accustomed to shuttling through the city like this and had never encountered any danger, so his vigilance was naturally not strong, nor did he pay much attention to the occasional Flying Heaven Semi-Divines passing by on the streets.


    Like now, within a range of ten or more kilometers around Li Yuan, there were quite a few Flying Heaven Semi-Divines.


    Li Yuan simply thought that the white-robed Semi-Divine¡¯s destination just happened to overlap with his flight path.


    After all, according to the Sha Xi Pseudo-God and Jiang Shan, as long as Li Yuan did not leave the Yuan Country Capital, there would basically be no danger.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The distance between the two rapidly closed, from the original five to six kilometers, in the blink of an eye, it shrank to one kilometer.


    One kilometer is incredibly close for someone at the Pseudo-God Level. Even for a Semi-Divine expert, this is a very dangerous signal.


    Li Yuan subconsciously took another look at the other party.


    ¡°Hm? Something¡¯s wrong!¡± A hint of caution flashed in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°I was clearly preparing to turn, slightly deviating from the direction, but his flight trajectory also instantly changed¡­ is he coming for me?¡±


    But this reaction seemed to be too late.


    Boom!


    The white-robed Semi-Divine¡¯s speed suddenly burst, like lightning, he charged towards Li Yuan.


    Before bursting his speed, in his palm, a nearly transparent crystal stone and a fiery red crystal sphere had already materialized.


    ¡°Snap~¡±


    ¡°Snap~¡± Both crystal stones shattered almost instantly, the first nearly transparent crystal stone dispersed a strange force as it broke, directly causing the surrounding void to start layering and condensing.


    And the moment the fiery red sphere shattered, it emitted terrifying crimson flames from within.


    ¡°Rumble!~¡± The violent force of the flames gathered and unified in an instant as the space condensed, turning into a fire dragon madly attacking Li Yuan.


    The power was terrifying. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s an issue.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Law Treasure.¡± Whether it was the two Semi-Divine guards of the Divine Fire Palace or some other passing Semi-Divine experts in the vicinity, they all sensed it instantly, their faces changing color.


    With their discerning eyes, they almost instantly judged that this was the power of a Law Treasure.


    That belongs to the terrifying force at the Pseudo-God Level.


    ¡°It¡¯s an assassination, targeting Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Law Treasure, any one of them has the might that can reach the Pseudo-God Level, killing a Flying Heaven Level like Xu Yuan would probably only take a moment,¡± the two Semi-Divine Commanders shivered with fear even tens of kilometers away, also feeling frantic: ¡°It can¡¯t be blocked, even a Semi-Divine Limit Expert facing such a level of attack also has a high chance of falling.¡±


    Too fast.


    Not to mention that the two Semi-Divines had no time to save, even if they were strong enough, they wouldn¡¯t be quick enough to save.


    The two of them could only instinctively cry out for help frantically.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± The high-level prohibitions in the void had detected the rapid changes in the Heaven and Earth Origin Power below, immediately starting to act, but it always takes time.


    Most crucially, this layered condensation of the void was causing the operations of the Origin Power Array in that area to feel sluggish.


    Perhaps it was just a split second off, but this split second is the difference between life and death.


    It could be said.


    In this split second, the protective strength of the Formation in Yuan Country Capital could not save Li Yuan; it was all up to Li Yuan himself.


    ¡°It¡¯s an assassination!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s an explosive space-category Secret Treasure, causing a stasis in spatial fluctuations,¡± Gu You¡¯s voice, in an instant, sounded anxiously, ¡°Li Yuan! Run quickly! Affected by this Space Treasure, whether it¡¯s me trying to move you into the Ancient Divine Palace, or you trying to take anything out from your Storage Magical Treasure, it will take some time.¡±

 Chapter 815: 425 Assassination! Li Yuans Death Crisis_2

    Chapter 815: Chapter 425 Assassination! Li Yuan¡¯s Death Crisis_2


    Two parties communicated via Divine Thought, speed extremely fast.


    ¡°I understand.¡± Li Yuan had already understood his own situation, whether it was taking out the Pseudo-God Puppet or escaping into the Ancient Divine Palace ¡­ he was a bit too late.


    Even taking out those two Law Treasures would slow things down.


    Because the opponent had used a Spatial Type Law Treasure, extremely rare, the abilities it contained were usually incredibly tricky.


    The ability of this Space Treasure was to make the space stagnate.


    ¡°If I could condense the True Intention of Space, I could instantly restore this area to normal, but my comprehension is not sufficient enough,¡± Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°I can only fight desperately now.¡±


    ¡°I must block it.¡±


    Boom!


    In fact, Li Yuan, who noticed the anomaly, had already burst out when the opponent¡¯s two Secret Treasures were just deployed.


    The measures to preserve his life had to be taken, and he himself also had to fight desperately.


    Li Yuan¡¯s body instantaneously became ten meters tall, becoming incredibly burly, and his body¡¯s Life Breath surged dramatically, followed by being fully enveloped in a thick earth-yellow Combat Armor.


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°Body of All Things¡±!


    ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± ¡°Roar~¡± Nine Yellow Dragons roared, under the pouring surge of Origin Power, they immediately burst forth violently, followed by a hazy earth-yellow airflow centered on Li Yuan, striking towards all sides.


    Divine Artifact Nine Dragons Xuan Armor!


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±!


    ¡°Nine Shadows Clone!¡± Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! In the vast Domain, nine Li Yuans appeared simultaneously, each holding a dark red Divine Spear in their hands.


    Dark Star Divine Spear.


    It is known that on normal days, the several Divine Artifacts that Li Yuan used, were all shrunk and carried closely on his person, just to prevent the critical moment, not having enough time to take them out from the Storage Magical Treasure.


    Li Yuan, bursting out in full force, created nine figures, each one as real as the next, their momentum overwhelming as the endless surging air currents converged, making the center of the street seem like a miniature star was formed, with Nine Dragons surging.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Nine Long Spears, one real and eight fake, the nine Li Yuans erupted simultaneously, displaying their strongest Spear Techniques, already colliding with that destructive fire power.


    ¡­


    Whoosh~ the young man in the white robe closely deployed two Secret Treasures simultaneously while also trying hard to bring the Xing Chan Pseudo-God out of the Cave Heaven Treasure.


    However, the Space Treasure affected Li Yuan and made it so that Li Yuan didn¡¯t even have time to take out the Pseudo-God Puppet and could only face the attack.


    Similarly, it also affected the Xing Chan Pseudo-God, who also needed some time to break free from the Cave Heaven Treasure.


    ¡°This Xu Yuan is a highly valued genius of Yuan Country, definitely highly treasured by them, absolutely possessing life-saving items.¡±


    ¡°If I reveal myself directly, maybe in that instant, he will hide inside the Cave Heaven Treasure or instantly take out some life-saving items, like Pseudo-God Puppets¡­ then it would be troublesome, as I don¡¯t have enough time,¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God thought through many plans.


    ¡°No matter how many treasures he has, or how high his talent, there is one thing he can¡¯t change, he is just at the Flying Heaven Level, his strength is limited.¡±


    ¡°The first target is to prevent him from taking out his life-saving items, this is the function of the Space Treasure¡­ This Space Treasure, bestowed by a True God, is of astonishing value.¡±


    ¡°Then order the Semi-Divine to deploy Fire System Law Treasures simultaneously, its might reaching the Pseudo-God Level, killing a Flying Heaven is easy.¡±


    ¡°Two great Secret Treasures, in theory, should be enough to kill him.¡±


    ¡°Myself, as usual for assassination¡­ If the first two fail, it¡¯s the last resort, for me to perform a Soul Attack,¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God had considered many possibilities.


    In reality. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His tactics also worked, making Li Yuan unable to escape nor retrieve his life-saving items in time, only able to forcefully resist.


    But what the Xing Chan Pseudo-God overlooked was Li Yuan¡¯s strength!!


    ¡°What is that?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God sensed the outside world through Divine Sense, the moment before bursting out of the Cave Heaven Treasure, he sensed Li Yuan¡¯s sudden burst, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes: ¡°How is that possible!!¡±


    On the streets of the Royal Capital.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Heaven and Earth River paired with the Nine Great Yellow Dragons, after Li Yuan¡¯s Law of Earth Comprehension breakthrough, its power was stronger than before, but facing the violently raging Divine Fire Dragon, it was still directly shattered.


    Then.


    Deploying several Star Techniques and Divine Artifacts, Li Yuan, erupted with his full power, confronting the violently charging Divine Fire Dragon.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Eight clones almost instantly shattered, they each only had a small part of Li Yuan¡¯s strength, and this confusing effect was utterly useless against the Divine Fire Dragon.


    The opponent directly pounced towards Li Yuan.


    However, after being weakened slightly by the Domain and Shadow Clone methods, the might of the Divine Fire Dragon had diminished.


    ¡°Rumble!¡±


    The incredibly hot power of the Divine Fire Dragon, containing unbelievable might, causing even space to ripple slightly, directly charged towards Li Yuan.


    The impact of the Pseudo-God Level Secret Treasure, usually a Semi-Divine Peak expert would directly fall.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Almost like lightning, the Flame Divine Dragon collided with Li Yuan three times.


    The first collision almost knocked the long spear out of Li Yuan¡¯s hand, making him vomit fresh blood wildly and his body flew backward.


    During the second collision, Li Yuan¡¯s bones and muscles were already shattering layer by layer, and his whole body was almost becoming a bloody figure.


    By the third collision, both of Li Yuan¡¯s arms had explosively shattered, and under the terrifying impact, his internal organs were splitting layer by layer; he was nearly left half-crippled.


    He was completely outmatched.


    It should be noted, after realizing the fourth form of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± along with many powerful Star Techniques and Divine Artifacts, Li Yuan¡¯s head-on combat power had thoroughly surpassed the Semi-Divine Peak, stepping into the Semi-Divine Limit Level.


    All Things Divine Body, Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, both extremely adept at defense¡­ yet still incapable of withstanding the wild assault of a Law Treasure.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Even though the power of the Flame Divine Dragon had greatly diminished, it still contained fearsome might and once again roared as it charged.


    ¡°Am I going to die?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart filled with reluctance; he no longer had much strength to resist.


    At that moment.


    ¡°Swoosh!¡±


    In the void between Li Yuan and the Flame Divine Dragon, an almost transparent Divine Sword appeared out of nowhere.


    ¡°This?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils constricted; he felt a terrifying threat emanating from the Divine Sword.


    It seemed as if the opponent only needed to exert a little force, and he would undoubtedly be dead.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    The Divine Sword suddenly moved; the space was cleaved as if it was a mirror, instantly splitting the wildly raging Flame Divine Dragon in half, followed by its complete annihilation.


    The Flame Divine Dragon, which previously had an imposing momentum, perished in an instant.


    ¡°This?¡±


    ¡°I survived? Who is this?¡± Li Yuan saw clearly, the owner of the Divine Sword was an extremely blurred figure, as if hidden in another space.


    Divine!


    At least a Peak of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°From the moment I was attacked to burst out resistance against the assault of the Law Treasure, it wasn¡¯t even 0.3 seconds¡­ Even if a Pseudo-God sensed something, they couldn¡¯t have arrived so quickly,¡± Li Yuan thought rapidly, ¡°Unless¡­ he has always been guarding by my side, only then could he arrive so swiftly.¡±


    It should be noted, up till now, under the influence of the Space Treasure, even the Guardian Array of the Royal Capital had not yet descended.


    ¡°Divine?¡±


    ¡°Arrived so quickly?¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God finally rushed out from the Grotto Heaven Treasure, his eyes filled with shock: ¡°Dammit! Dammit! A Flying Heaven Level, how could it withstand half of the assault from a Law Treasure? This must definitely have the strength of Semi-Divine Limit.¡±


    Flying Heaven Level, bursting out with the strength of Semi-Divine Limit? What kind of monstrous genius is this?


    But Xing Chan Pseudo-God had no time to ponder further.


    Because¡ª


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± that blurrily figured divine, already holding the nearly transparent Divine Sword, came striking over hazily.


    As if placed in another space, his movements were unpredictably strange.


    Before the sword arrived, the invisible fluctuations emitted by the sword alone caused the white-robed Semi-Divine to disintegrate into ash.


    Attacking directly at Xing Chan Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    ¡°Soul Attack!¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God gritted his teeth, knowing that physically killing Li Yuan was difficult, his gaze directly fell upon Li Yuan.


    Hum~ an invisible wave of soul fluctuation descended.


    A peak Pseudo-God expert skilled in soul attacks, premeditated a full-powered strike.


    This kind of close-range soul attack, not even a True God could block; Li Yuan had to endure it by himself.


    In the same instant.


    ¡°A Flying Heaven Level, even if his soul will is strong, his soul can¡¯t possibly be at Pseudo-God level, it should just be very strong-willed¡­ I¡¯m not hoping to kill him, just to make him be caught off guard for a moment.¡±


    ¡°That would be enough.¡±


    ¡°Enough to kill him.¡± Xing Chan Pseudo-God looked up, sensing that descending Divine Sword, his eyes showing a trace of madness: ¡°All of you go die! Explode! Explode! Explode for me!¡±


    Boom¡ª


    The heaven and earth shook, and the grey-robed Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s body instantly erupted with boundless flames, turning into a huge fireball, followed by an explosion like that of a miniature sun!!


    Sacrificial God Fire! Self-destruction!


    This was the last resort of a divine, using life as the cost, generally the mightiest move.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God, from the moment he entered the Yuan Country Capital, never intended to leave alive.

 Chapter 816: 426: Survive

    Chapter 816: Chapter 426: Survive


    In the Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s plan.


    If Li Yuan had a Pseudo-God Puppet by his side, or a Pseudo-God bodyguard for protection, then, he would view the guard force and give up the assassination, or directly self-destruct to gamble with his life.


    If Li Yuan was alone, the plan was to first try to directly kill Li Yuan with two Secret Treasures, and if the Secret Treasure assault failed, then attempt to kill him with his own strength.


    However!


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God overlooked two things, first, Li Yuan¡¯s personal strength was far greater than he had imagined.


    Second, in addition to bestowing Li Yuan with a Pseudo-God Puppet, Jiang Yuan True God had also arranged for another extremely powerful Pseudo-God ¡®Shadow Demon Pseudo-God¡¯ to secretly protect Li Yuan, as a double layer of protection.


    And the Shadow Demon Pseudo-God had been hiding in the dark all along, even unbeknownst to Xing Chan Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, yet capable of unleashing such terrifying power, what an astonishing, peerless genius. No wonder such a formidable Pseudo-God would secretly protect him.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, I¡¯ve done my best.¡±


    ¡°I hope, this death-defying strike, can kill Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°I hope, Black Blade True God will do his best to take care of my family.¡± In the instant of self-destruction, the powerful soul of a Pseudo-God Level allowed Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s thoughts to momentarily pause, shining with many thoughts in the last moment of his life.


    It¡¯s just a pity, that he was doomed not to see the outcome.


    ¡­¡±Boom!¡± That terrifying soul fluctuation instantly invaded Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This soul fluctuation, like a sharp spike, brutally collided with Li Yuan¡¯s soul core.


    Xing Chan Pseudo-God knew that Li Yuan had overcome the Nine Sounds Realm, his Spiritual Will much stronger than the vast majority of Semi-Divines.


    However, he judged based on Li Yuan merely being at Flying Heaven Level, and the exceedingly long time it took to traverse through the Nine Sounds Realm¡­ that Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Will should be equivalent to the threshold of a Pseudo-God.


    Normally speaking, Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s judgment wasn¡¯t wrong.


    But in the past two months, Li Yuan had been cultivating the ¡°Heart Illusion Six Realms¡±, and although he had not yet reached Perfection in the First Realm, his will had improved and reached level 55.


    In terms of the strength of will, Li Yuan was already close to many Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses.


    Coupled with an almost Pseudo-God soul, Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Will was on par with a regular Pseudo-God.


    Moreover.


    Li Yuan also possessed the ¡®Thousand Heart Lotus Platform¡¯ guarding his soul, a supreme Pseudo-God Artifact, prepared specifically for Li Yuan¡¯s Flying Heaven Semi-Divine stage by Ancient Flame True God.


    ¡°Soul Attack?¡±


    ¡°A soul attack from a Peak of Pseudo-God, trying to shake me? What a joke.¡± Li Yuan instantly sensed it.


    It could be said that facing Pseudo-God powerhouses, what Li Yuan feared least was the other party launching a Soul Attack.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    Inside Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform rotated, its layers of lotus leaves spinning, easily weakening the strength of this soul attack by more than seventy percent.


    The remaining small portion of might that struck against Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual Will did cause his soul to tremble, but still, it was resisted.


    It could be said, most Peak of Pseudo-God soul attacks, let alone annihilating Li Yuan, would find it very difficult to even affect him.


    But for Li Yuan, the biggest impact was not from the soul attack, but instead¡ªthe self-destruction!


    A self-destruction of a divine being unleashed might unrelated to Law Comprehension but related to the remaining Origin Power within the body, effectively letting one¡¯s lifetime of cultivated Origin Power explode completely in an instant.


    The might was boundless!


    Speaking slowly, in the instant Li Yuan blocked the soul attack, that overwhelming energy flood had already impacted in all directions.


    The first to bear the brunt was the Shadow Demon Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Self-destruction?¡±


    ¡°Not good! I can withstand it, but Xu Yuan is already severely injured, even just the aftermath could likely be unbearable for him.¡± A thought flashed through the mind of Shadow Demon Pseudo-God, whose mission was to protect Xu Yuan.


    His hand turned the divine sword fiercely toward the fiery energy flood, unleashing a terrifying collision instantly, obliterating a great deal of the impact¡¯s might.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Following that, the body of Shadow Demon Pseudo-God rapidly grew larger, becoming like a giant, with large amounts of black mist crazily spreading in all directions, instantly engulfing a vast area, including Li Yuan.


    Attempting to protect Li Yuan.


    The self-destructive impact was simply too fast. In a rush, the first approach was to use the weapon to consume as much might as possible, followed by unfolding a large Domain, which was the method Shadow Demon Pseudo-God could think of to protect Li Yuan.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    But the impact of a Peak of Pseudo-God self-destruction was so terrifying, and although Shadow Demon Pseudo-God was only impacted in one of the directions and he was trying his utmost to block it,


    The layers of black mist were still instantly starting to dissipate and dissolve in the face of the terrifying fiery flood.


    That surging fiery flood finally swept in all directions, also impacting towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°Pseudo-God Puppet.¡±


    ¡°Block it for me.¡±


    Li Yuan gritted his teeth, knowing all too well that just before, he had continuously been enduring the assault of Law Treasures, unable to channel them into the Ancient Divine Palace, and now this impact had come extremely quickly.


    Fortunately! Just as Xing Chan Pseudo-God¡¯s attack tried to forcefully push outward, Li Yuan was also desperately trying to move his Pseudo-God Puppet outside¡­ in the instant Xing Chan Pseudo-God self-destructed.


    The Pseudo-God Puppet finally appeared.


    ¡°Roar~¡±


    Like a giant spider, the huge Pseudo-God Puppet instantly spread its eight limbs, two limbs firmly on the ground, like a mountain standing in front of Li Yuan.


    The other six limbs, however, swung dazzling blades of light in an instant, trying their best to resist the fiery impact.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    That terrifying shockwave finally arrived, firstly hitting the Pseudo-God Puppet¡¯s blades of light which weakened it layer by layer, and then again striking the colossal body of the Pseudo-God Puppet.


    The self-destructive might of Xing Chan Pseudo-God was almost at the Pseudo-God Limit, and even after being weakened multiple times, it remained close to the level of might of a Peak of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Despite its best efforts to resist, the Pseudo-God Puppet still struggled to keep its stance, its massive body toppling backwards in disarray, striking fiercely against Li Yuan¡¯s figure.


    ¡°Boom!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s body was jarred by the impact from the Pseudo-God Puppet, his body shivering violently, the parts that had just recovered were once again deeply cracked.


    Blood cascaded, bones snapped, and an abundance of fresh blood oozed from the ears, nose, mouth, and other organs, a truly horrifying sight.


    Fortunately.


    The self-destructive impact of the Pseudo-God Puppet had already weakened most of its might, leaving only a small part of it.


    Li Yuan, with difficulty, blocked the last of the impact¡¯s aftermath.


    He and the Pseudo-God Puppet finally both steadied themselves.


    ¡°Terrifying.¡±


    ¡°Did I survive?¡± A tinge of excitement surged in Li Yuan¡¯s heart as he had survived such a dreadful assassination attempt.


    Had his strength been slightly weaker.


    Had the Pseudo-God Puppet emerged from the Storage Magical Treasure a bit later.


    Had that mysterious Pseudo-God not arrived in time¡­ in any case, had any aspect been just a bit off, he likely would have fallen today.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    Flames from other directions continued to spread in all directions, causing the earth to tremble wildly, enormous pavilions collapsing.


    Even the ground¡¯s incredibly tough rocks were shattered, countless pebbles scattering.


    A scene of utter devastation.


    Normally.


    The self-destruction of a Peak of Pseudo-God could envelope a range of over a thousand kilometers.


    However, this place was Yuan Country Capital, Origin Power Arrays spanned every area, and every building had formations and restrictions to greatly reduce the aftershock of the energy impact.


    At the same time.


    The Capital Array in the void was fully activated, strands of fiery red light descending, gushing from all around, striving to diminish the impact of the shockwaves.


    Eventually, the self-destruction merely affected an area of barely more than ten kilometers and gradually returned to tranquility.


    Whoosh!


    With a single thought from Li Yuan, he retracted the huge Pseudo-God Puppet in front of him back into the Storage Magical Treasure.


    The Pseudo-God Puppet was not easy to refine and its value was incredibly astonishing. Many civilizations and clans relied on it to endure for millions of years, such an item was indispensable.


    To flaunt it so carelessly?


    Such a treasured relic was far too eye-catching, likely to attract the covetous glances of some Pseudo-God Powerhouses.


    Moreover, such trump card measures.


    If constantly revealed, would lose their effectiveness as a trump card.


    An enemy would easily be able to take countermeasures the moment they decide to take action.


    The unknown is the most terrifying.


    ¡°Thank you, senior, for saving me.¡± Li Yuan bowed in gratitude, as without that Pseudo-God Powerhouse¡¯s rescue, he would have definitely died.


    Li Yuan also felt full of gratitude in his heart.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t me who saved you.¡±


    ¡°It was you who saved yourself.¡± The voice of the Demon Shadow Pseudo-God was harsh and hoarse: ¡°To think a Flying Heaven Level¡­ could unleash Semi-Divine Limit strength, this is truly unheard of.¡±


    In regards to the strength Li Yuan revealed.


    The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God was quite astonished in his heart.


    ¡°Moreover, if you truly wish to give thanks, then thank the King.¡± The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God spoke in a low voice: ¡°I am here to protect you by the King¡¯s command. Not wishing to reveal the truth to you prematurely, to prevent complacency, I haven¡¯t shown myself until now¡­


    ¡°Therefore, I was far from you, and when I came to save you, I couldn¡¯t arrive instantly.¡± The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God explained patiently.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly, understanding that no protective measure was absolutely foolproof.


    Most were reactive in approach.


    ¡°I will report to the King and swiftly clarify who is behind the assassination attempt. Presumably, there will be an explanation for you, and possibly compensation, given that the assassination is likely related to your identity.¡± The Demon Shadow Pseudo-God spoke: ¡°Now, I shall leave first.¡±


    Whoosh~


    The form of the Demon Shadow Pseudo-God became increasingly indistinct, disappearing swiftly like flowing water from Li Yuan¡¯s senses.


    ¡°Has he gone into hiding again?¡±


    ¡°He even kept it from Sister Gu You?¡± Li Yuan inwardly sighed, his gaze sweeping in all directions.


    Then, Li Yuan turned into a streak of light, rapidly flying towards the Nine Sound Building.


    After a while.


    Bystanders from all around in the streets started to whisper about the great battle¡ªsuch a scene was rare for many Flying Heaven and even Pseudo-Gods.


    Some passersby even perished from the blast,


    ¡°So strong?¡±


    ¡°The end must have been a fierce battle between two Divines, but how could Xu Yuan, a mere Flying Heaven Level, survive such a terrifying aftermath of the explosion?¡±


    ¡°Can a Flying Heaven Level be this strong? To withstand a Law Treasure without perishing?¡± These onlookers, for the most part, had their own measure.


    Quickly.


    The news of Li Yuan being targeted for assassination by a Divine, along with the terrifying power he unleashed, spread at a startling speed throughout the Yuan Country Capital.

 Chapter 817: 427 Threat! Three Months are Up

    Chapter 817: Chapter 427 Threat! Three Months are Up


    In the confrontation with Xing Chan, the Pseudo-God, Li Yuan suffered severe injuries, with even both arms being blown apart.


    But under the state of deploying the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, his Origin Power was comparable to that of a Demigod, and his vitality was incredibly strong; as time passed, the damage to his limbs quickly healed.


    By the time he reached the Nine Sound Building, he had already recovered to his original state.


    Only that the consumption of Origin Power was immense, and he needed a long time to refine Heaven and Earth Origin Power for his own use.


    Above the clouds of the Nine Sound Building, there lied another structure ¡®Shen Yin Building¡¯, and under normal circumstances, only Divines were qualified to be there.


    Like Jiang Shan, despite having the combat power of a Pseudo-God, he could not come here.


    But the Nine Sounds True God had specially ordered that Li Yuan could come here, just not bring anyone else.


    Outside the Shen Yin Building.


    ¡°Master Xu Yuan.¡± A lady in purple, the Qian Huan Pseudo-God, came forward with a slight smile.


    As a follower of the Nine Sounds True God, she knew from the order that Li Yuan held a high status in the heart of Nine Sounds True God, and naturally did not dare to neglect him.


    ¡°Qian Huan Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan also nodded slightly.


    ¡°Please, this way.¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God smiled and said, ¡°The treasures you need, I have mostly prepared them.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    At this moment.


    ¡°Louzhu! Louzhu!¡± A streak of light cut through the clouds, and a burly man came rushing over.


    He was about to speak when he saw Li Yuan beside him, his eyes widened: ¡°Xu Yuan? You¡¯re here?¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    ¡°How should you address him? Call him Master Xu Yuan.¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God frowned.


    ¡°Yes!¡± The burly man quickly complied, then said respectfully, ¡°Master Xu Yuan, this humble one pays his respects.¡±


    ¡°No matter.¡± Li Yuan said indifferently.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God frowned, knowing that if it were not an urgent matter, nobody would suddenly come to disturb her. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The burly man glanced at Li Yuan before turning to Qian Huan Pseudo-God and seemed to communicate telepathically.


    In just a second, Qian Huan Pseudo-God¡¯s expression had changed, and with a wave of her hand, the burly man quickly retreated.


    ¡°Master Xu Yuan, you just encountered an assassination by a Divine?¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°My subordinate said, someone saw with their own eyes you blocking the attack of a Law Treasure¡­ revealing tremendous power.¡±


    ¡°Just now I indeed encountered an assassination.¡± Li Yuan nodded, not surprised that the news had spread so quickly.


    The Nine Sound Building, able to expand its business to such magnitude, naturally had astonishing channels for information.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, being able to withstand an attack by a Law Treasure with one¡¯s own power is terrifying. A Law Treasure, in the face of most Demigods, can achieve absolute annihilation,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God remarked with emotion, ¡°Many Semi-Divine Limit Experts might not be able to withstand it, yet you could block it.¡±


    Qian Huan Pseudo-God was indeed somewhat shaken by the news.


    On the other hand, she also guessed that the relationship with Nine Sounds True God must be good; the more exceptional Li Yuan was, the better it would naturally be for the entire Nine Sound Building in the future.


    ¡°I¡¯m flattered.¡±


    Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°I only blocked part of the might, and then a Pseudo-God came to obliterate the Law Treasure¡­ otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I would have perished.¡±


    Li Yuan knew his limits; after entering Jue Xing Continent for a few months, although his Spear Technique had broken through, his foundation was significantly inferior to other Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    In terms of direct combat strength, he was on par with most Semi-Divine Limit Experts.


    However, his greatest advantage was his Soul Will! In this aspect, he was far superior to other Demigods.


    In today¡¯s battle, if it were another Semi-Divine Limit Expert, they might have been directly killed at the soul level.


    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t be modest.¡±


    ¡°A Pseudo-God¡¯s assassination, even employing a Law Treasure¡­ just surviving while being only at Flying Heaven Level is enough to be proud of,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said with a smile, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t witnessed your feat in the Nine Sounds Realm, from afar, I am afraid I wouldn¡¯t believe it.¡±


    Li Yuan smiled and didn¡¯t argue further.


    Soon, Qian Huan Pseudo-God led Li Yuan into a Quiet Chamber within the Shen Yin Building.


    ¡°Master Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°These are the many treasures you entrusted me to purchase. Most of them have been acquired, but there are still a few treasures for which there is no news yet,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said, ¡°You may check them now.¡±


    Qian Huan Pseudo-God waved her hand, handing several Storage Treasures to Li Yuan.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan did not take it lightly, with a thought, he had already taken several Storage Treasures into the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Sister, please check them carefully,¡± Li Yuan transmitted.


    Although Li Yuan knew the information about the treasures he needed, he had never actually seen them¡­ in terms of appraising treasures, naturally, Gu You was more impressive.


    After a while.


    ¡°Brother, it¡¯s mostly correct,¡± Gu You transmitted, ¡°¡±All Things Divine Body,¡± ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± required to cultivate to the Fourth Rank, all the treasures have been collected.¡±


    ¡°But for ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡± and ¡°True Wind Star Meridian Solution¡± required to cultivate to the Fourth Rank, we have gathered most of it but still lack about twenty percent.¡±


    ¡°For ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± required to cultivate to the Third Rank, there¡¯s enough; to cultivate to the Fourth Rank, we still lack about thirty percent, here are the details¡­¡± Gu You directly transmitted a list to Li Yuan.


    Marking what was lacking among the various types of treasures, as well as the general prices of the acquired treasures in the Divine Realm.


    So that Li Yuan had a clear idea in his mind.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡°Qian Huan Pseudo-God, these treasures are indeed what I need,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile, ¡°Please give me a total price, I will take them all.¡±


    Previously, Li Yuan had left a deposit of 3000 Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Haha, of course, Master Xu Yuan is truly generous,¡± Qian Huan Pseudo-God said with a laugh, ¡°I definitely won¡¯t ask for a high price, just give another 1000 Fangshen Crystals, and that will be enough.¡±


    ¡°4000 Fangshen Crystals?¡±


    Li Yuan paused, shaking his head, ¡°Qian Huan Pseudo-God, please charge the normal price, there¡¯s no need to deliberately offer me a favor. If it¡¯s like this, how could you continue running the Nine Sound Building?¡±


    Li Yuan was well aware that for a Nine Layer Star Technique, to cultivate from the Third Rank to the ultimate Fourth Rank, if one uses all the required types of treasures to expedite, it ranged from several hundred Fangshen Crystals to several thousand Fangshen Crystals.

 Chapter 818: 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_2

    Chapter 818: Chapter 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_2


    Auxiliary Star Techniques like the ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± require fewer treasures.


    And for abilities like the ¡°All Things Divine Body,¡± Li Yuan estimated that he would need nearly two thousand Fangshen Crystals to cultivate from the Third Rank to the peak of the Fourth Rank.


    Five schools with Nine Layer Star Technique.


    Even if three of the Star Techniques are lacking some treasures¡­ adding them all together, it definitely exceeds four thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    ¡°Let¡¯s settle it this way.¡±


    ¡°A Pseudo-God of Illusions, for 5000 Fangshen Crystals,¡± Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, ¡°I¡¯ll remember this favor in my heart.¡±


    ¡°But you also have costs in acquiring so many treasures¡­ I can¡¯t let you make a loss; otherwise, next time I won¡¯t feel comfortable asking you to help me purchase treasures again.¡±


    Whoosh! Li Yuan flipped his hand and passed a Storage Treasure, containing two thousand Fangshen Crystals, to the Pseudo-God of Illusions.


    Seeing Li Yuan¡¯s seriousness, the Pseudo-God of Illusions could not help but give a wry smile and nodded, accepting the two thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    After chatting for a while, Li Yuan bid farewell.


    Standing on the pavilion, the Pseudo-God of Illusions watched Li Yuan vanish into the clouds with a sigh in his heart: ¡°Trying to owe a favor from this Mr. Xu Yuan is indeed difficult.¡±


    As a Peak Pseudo-God, she didn¡¯t care about one or two thousand crystals; if possible, she would even gladly give them all to Li Yuan for free.


    But clearly, Li Yuan did not want to owe her too much.


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, yet capable of unleashing the power of a Demigod at its limit.¡± The Pseudo-God of Illusions pondered internally: ¡°Could it be that Xu Yuan¡¯s Law Comprehension has reached the standard of the ¡®Law Will¡¯ at the Eighth Stage?¡±


    ¡°No matter what.¡±


    ¡°Our Abyss Country has indeed produced an incredible genius,¡± the Pseudo-God of Illusions thought quietly: ¡°But it¡¯s unknown which True God is behind the assassination attempt on Li Yuan that even the Divine deities are willing to risk their lives.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s probably an enemy of the King.¡±


    Without a doubt.


    To employ a mighty Pseudo-God for an assassination, the one behind it must be extraordinary¡­


    ¡­


    Above the Yuan Country Capital, within the Imperial Palace.


    ¡°Demigod at its limit?¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God, looking at the information and the Combat Image delivered by the Shadow Pseudo-God, thought: ¡°And to be unaffected by a soul attack from a Peak Pseudo-God?¡±


    ¡°My little junior brother is even more powerful than I imagined,¡± thought Jiang Yuan True God to himself.


    He is quite the entity, looking across the entire Jue Xing Continent, there is no True God who dares to claim to be stronger than him.


    Even the Heavenly Divines are quite polite to him, almost all have acknowledged that he is the most likely candidate from the Jue Xing Continent to Ascend to Heavenly God.


    His vision is extremely high, and his ambition is equally vast, unwilling to be confined to this world.


    ¡°Every strength has its reasons.¡±


    ¡°Although Xu Yuan is of Eight Star Veins, after all, he¡¯s at the Flying Heaven Level, and his Spear Technique is at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God level¡­ True Divine Instrument? No! At most, he uses Top-Grade Virtual Divine Artifact.¡± Jiang Yuan True God analyzed quickly: ¡°Either, he has an exceptionally special Secret Treasure for protection.¡±


    ¡°Or, his Star Technique is particularly powerful, and he should have cultivated more than one Nine Layer Star Technique.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God speculated a little and then became certain of his conjecture in his heart.


    ¡°Nine Layer Star Techniques, it¡¯s not easy to find ones that fit him, and yet, he could practice several, indeed not unworthy of being an unparalleled genius from the Chaos Divine Court,¡± Jiang Yuan True God thought.


    Instantly.


    A trace of murderous intent flickered in the eyes of Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°Hmph! You dare to come to my lair and attempt an assassination? Truly audacious!¡±


    Whoosh!


    With a thought, Jiang Yuan True God left the Temple and arrived in seconds at the location where the battle had occurred.


    A mess.


    A massive crater tens of kilometers in diameter, the previously tidy streets, bustling with many shops, have all turned to nothingness¡­ if not for the Formation that envelops the Royal Capital, the scope of destruction would have been far greater.


    ¡°Halt!¡±


    ¡°Reverse! Sense!¡± Jiang Yuan True God stood in the void, with even a significant number of the Yuan Country¡¯s Forbidden Army around, none could detect his presence.


    As if he were in a different layer of space.


    Whoosh~ An invisible fluctuation enveloped the area, and Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s gaze became misty as his vision completely changed¡­ in his eyes, the surrounding scenes were rapidly shifting.


    As if time was reversing.


    The flow of time was retracing!


    Of course, this scene was only visible to Jiang Yuan True God, those Demigods nearby had no clue whatsoever.


    This spell, extremely difficult to cast, requires a True God with a high comprehension of Space Law, or to be a Heavenly God to perform¡­ and can only trace back a period of time at most.


    The longer one wants to trace back, the harder it becomes.


    For someone like Jiang Yuan True God, he can at most trace back a local area within a couple of days¡­ and that¡¯s without interference from other powerful beings distorting the space.


    If some powerful beings intentionally disrupt the spatial waves, tracing back becomes even more challenging.


    However.


    Li Yuan, Shadow Pseudo-God, Xing Chan Pseudo-God, in their battle, though appearing fierce, only caused slight ripples in the space, naturally not affecting Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s ability to cast this spell.


    ¡°Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~¡± Along with the casting of the spell, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s understanding of the cause and consequence of this battle became increasingly clear.


    Much clearer than a mere combat image. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°This Pseudo-God, his strength should be at the Peak of Pseudo-God,¡± Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s gaze turned icy: ¡°The Law he is proficient in is¡­¡±


    Whoosh~


    Ten small, fist-sized red Crystal Stone orbs materialized before Jiang Yuan True God, followed by the orbs changing aura continuously, eventually stabilizing¡­ If Li Yuan and Shadow Pseudo-God were here, they would be shocked to discover that the soul aura of the Pseudo-God they encountered was identical to the aura emitted by these ten orbs.


    Simulating soul aura!!


    Appearance can change, attire can change, even combat weapons and moves can change¡­ but the soul aura is almost immutable.


    To trace the conspirator behind the scenes, Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s first step is to figure out who the assassin is.


    Before long.


    A woman dressed in a light and soft purple gauze dress, seemingly like mist, appeared: ¡°My King.¡±

 Chapter 819: 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_3

    Chapter 819: Chapter 427 Threat! Three Months are Up_3


    ¡°Nine Sound, I need you to do something for me.¡± Jiang Yuan True God pointed to ten crystal spheres and said, ¡°Find out who the owner of this soul aura is! First check the Pseudo-Gods under the command of True Gods Black Blade, Yue Chi¡­ follow the order and investigate the eight True Gods¡¯ Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God had many enemies, but hatred varied in degree.


    Logically, if it wasn¡¯t a vendetta unto death, there would be no direct assassination attempt on Li Yuan.


    ¡°This is the soul aura of an assassin sent to kill Xu Yuan; isn¡¯t the assassin dead?¡± Nine Sounds True God was surprised. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She was aware that Li Yuan was assassinated.


    ¡°No need to ask further, just track it. Use the intelligence network of the Ancient City, the faster the better.¡± Jiang Yuan True God ordered.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Nine Sounds True God nodded.


    She was very aware of the importance Jiang Yuan True God placed on Li Yuan; now that Li Yuan had narrowly escaped death, Jiang Yuan True God must be extremely angry.


    ¡­


    East Sea, Black Blade Island.


    At the highest point of the imperial city, within that grand palace, the Black Blade True God sat on his towering throne.


    Around his throne, countless black mists were diffusing which upon closer look were not mist at all, but numerous tiny black blades, densely packed and fluttering like mist.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Black Blade True God opened his eyes, a hint of seriousness flashing through them: ¡°The Soul Lamp of Xing Chan has been extinguished?¡±


    The Pseudo-Gods under his command had all ignited their Soul Lamps, which barring very exceptional circumstances, there could only be one possibility for its extinguishment¡ªdeath.


    ¡°Xing Chan was sent to assassinate Xu Yuan. Based on the timing, he should have taken action.¡± Black Blade True God had a sliver of expectation: ¡°I had specially bestowed upon him a Space Treasure; as a Flying Heaven Level, he should be able to assassinate the target, I suppose.¡±


    ¡°If the assassination is successful, it would be the elimination of a great threat.¡±


    Thinking so.


    Black Blade True God immediately sent a message, using the intelligence network of the Holy Land, to find out the outcome of the assassination.


    While the news of Li Yuan being targeted for assassination spread extremely quickly, from the East Domain to the East Sea was very distant; the analysis and transmission of intelligence naturally took time.


    After half a day.


    Black Blade True God received a message from the intelligence network of the Holy Land: ¡°The unparalleled genius of Abyss Country, ¡®Li Yuan¡¯, faced an assassination attempt by a Pseudo-God. It is suspected he unleashed Semi-Divine Limit strength to survive¡­ The assassin died on the spot, and the identity of the perpetrator is yet to be determined.¡±


    Inside the palace.


    ¡°Useless!¡± Black Blade True God was instantly furious: ¡°Utterly useless, a Pseudo-God Peak yet failed to kill a Flying Heaven Level! A complete waste.¡±


    His roar echoed within the grand temple, causing a few Pseudo-Gods present to shiver in fear.


    This piece of news significantly worsened Black Blade True God¡¯s mood.


    It was bad enough the assassination failed.


    But the strength Li Yuan displayed was all the more irritating to him.


    ¡°According to whatever records are available within Abyss Country about Xu Yuan¡¯s life, he¡¯s only cultivated for less than forty years? And he is already so formidable?¡± Black Blade True God found this troublesome, his eyes flickering: ¡°If he were to cultivate normally, I fear that in one or two thousand years, he could reach the True God Peak.¡±


    ¡°Perhaps another Jiang Yuan.¡±


    ¡°He couldn¡¯t be killed.¡±


    ¡°Such a monstrous talent, now that he has experienced this assassination, he will be heavily protected from now on, till he joins Starry Sky Ancient City¡­¡± Black Blade True God shook his head, giving up any further thoughts of assassination.


    It was too difficult.


    And if it were just the first wave of assassination, it would be one thing, but if there were another attempt, probably even the Starry Sky Ancient City would not let it go.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Yuan that fool, must be going mad tracking it down now.¡± Black Blade True God sneered with disdain: ¡°Let him search! It¡¯s been nearly a thousand years since Xing Chan has made a move; I do not believe you can trace back to him.¡±


    ¡°Even if you somehow manage to find out, what can you do?¡±


    Yes, Xu Yuan was a threat.


    ¡°But as long as he doesn¡¯t become a Heavenly God, he is no threat to me.¡± Black Blade True God couldn¡¯t care less.


    ¡°Even if he finally becomes Heavenly God, worst case I¡¯ll just hide in the endless starry sky, it would be hard for him to find me.¡±


    ¡­


    As time passed, the news about this battle was rapidly spreading, even quickly going beyond Abyss Country¡¯s borders, with other major powers also collecting this intelligence.


    After all, a Pseudo-God Peak powerhouse had died because of it.


    The one targeted, was the newly famous Xu Yuan.


    Most importantly, the strength shown by Li Yuan was extremely rare among Flying Heaven Level across the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    ¡°Being Flying Heaven Level, to possess such strength, and still so young, his future is bound to be terrifying.¡±


    ¡°And no wonder he was targeted for assassination.¡±


    ¡°¡±¡±At least a True God Peak, and there¡¯s even a slight chance to Ascend to Heavenly Divine.¡± Many major forces truly began paying attention to Li Yuan, continuously collecting intelligence on him.


    ¡­


    Illusionary True Marquis Mansion.


    ¡°So powerful?¡± The palace-dressed lady, ¡®Illusionary True Marquis,¡¯ was shocked, then a trace of relief emerged: ¡°Ha ha, it was wise to back down back then. My son was decisive and smart enough.¡±


    Sometimes, capitulating quickly isn¡¯t necessarily bad.


    ¡­


    Some intelligence on Li Yuan had even been directly delivered to Jue Xing Ancient City, sparking quite a bit of debate.


    But none of these affected Li Yuan.


    Or rather, it was Jiang Yuan True God who was secretly protecting him, preventing those with ulterior motives from reaching Li Yuan.


    Within the quiet chamber of his mansion.


    ¡°Hu!¡±


    Li Yuan let out a long breath, revealing a slight smile: ¡°In six days, I¡¯ve finally cultivated the ¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ to the Third Rank Limit.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, the higher the cultivation level, the faster one can train in Star Techniques.¡±


    On the first day upon returning to the mansion from the Nine Sound Building, Li Yuan used some treasures he had prepared early on to cleanse away all the Third Rank Star Marks of the ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯ from his Star Meridian.


    Then, he began to cultivate ¡®Myriad Shadows Void.¡¯


    Had it been when he had just reached the Flying Heaven Level, this whole process would probably have cost Li Yuan several months¡­but now his realm was terrifyingly high, his Soul Will was stronger, and he sensed Life Star much more clearly.


    In the end, cleansing the Star Technique Star Marks and cultivating new Star Techniques took about eight days in total.


    With that.


    The five Star Techniques Li Yuan cultivated were all Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    There were no longer any weaknesses.


    ¡°Normally, a Seven Star Veins powerhouse would awaken two to three Nine Layer Star Veins, capable of cultivating three Nine Layer Star Techniques.¡± Li Yuan pondered: ¡°Among these three Star Techniques, there¡¯s usually one auxiliary cultivation Star Technique to grasp the Mysteries of the Law faster¡­ the remainder can be used to cultivate battle Nine Layer Star Techniques.¡±


    For an entity like Ancient Torch Divine, the only battle Nine Layer Star Technique was the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯


    And for an Eight Star Veins powerhouse, usually, they could awaken three to four Nine Layer Star Veins.


    ¡°This is also the reason why Domain-type Nine Layer Star Techniques and Escape Skill Nine Layer Star Techniques are rare.¡± Li Yuan pondered.


    Fewer practitioners meant fewer powerful Star Techniques could be researched.


    The super powerhouses first choice in cultivating Nine Layer Star Techniques was Divine Body-type Star Techniques, followed by auxiliary cultivation Star Techniques.


    In the likes of Domain, Escape Skills, and other areas, they usually cultivate Seventh Layer Star Techniques in combination with Magical Treasures, which naturally pales in comparison to Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    ¡°Shua!¡±


    ¡°Shua!¡± ¡°Shua!¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, dozens of Shadow Clones appeared silently within the quiet chamber.


    Each Clone emitted a genuine aura, ordinary Demigods might not even be able to distinguish real from fake.


    ¡°¡®Myriad Shadows Void¡¯ is indeed much stronger than ¡®Nine Shadows Clone¡¯.¡± Li Yuan reflected inwardly: ¡°In the future, if I can cultivate it to the Fourth Rank Limit, the gap will only widen.¡±


    ¡°Now.¡±


    ¡°I have mastered three battle Nine Layer Star Techniques, and once I step into Demigod, I will be able to cultivate another Star Technique.¡± Li Yuan revealed a smile: ¡°Then, I can further narrow the fundamental gap with Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    The benefits of having powerful Star Meridians were continually becoming evident.


    ¡°Continue training then.¡± Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, pondering over Spear Technique.


    Only two days left before he heads to the Starry Sky Ancient City.


    ¡­


    The two days whizzed by.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, come quickly to the Divine Fire Palace¡¯s main hall, get ready to set out.¡± Li Yuan received Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s transmission.


    ¡°Finally heading to the Starry Sky Ancient City?¡± Li Yuan stood up, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.


    Starry Sky Ancient City, the cultivation Holy Land of this world, with each generation having a Heavenly Divine sitting in, even if it couldn¡¯t keep up with the top major forces in the Divine Realm, it was comparable to powerful forces like the Heavenly Serpent Clan.


    Li Yuan was naturally filled with anticipation.


    After instructing Ren Qing with a few words, Li Yuan soared to the heavens and left the mansion, swiftly arriving at a palace in the center of the Divine Fire Palace.


    By the time he arrived, more than a dozen figures had already gathered in the hall, some were Flying Heaven Level, some were Demigods.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has arrived.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s Xu Yuan? Doesn¡¯t look like much.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡± The dozen or so people in the hall couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Yuan.¡±¡±¡±

 Chapter 820: 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths

    Chapter 820: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God flew out of the palace first, followed by fifteen Flying Heaven Level and ten Semi-Divine figures one after another.


    Li Yuan and Jiang Shan were in the lead.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, when you encountered the Divine assassination, Jiang Xuan and I were really sweating for you,¡± Jiang Shan communicated through psychic means, ¡°It¡¯s fortunate that you were safe in the end.¡±


    ¡°The main reason is that the King¡¯s rescue was timely, secretly dispatching a Pseudo-God for protection,¡± Li Yuan replied through psychic communication, ¡°Otherwise, how could I alone withstand the assassination of a Pseudo-God?¡±


    This was the truth; even with a Pseudo-God Puppet, it could only delay the inevitable slightly.


    ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Jiang Shan nodded, ¡°Your Law Comprehension is extremely high, reaching Pseudo-God Level¡­ but your foundation of strength is too weak. If you were to breakthrough to Semi-Divine, your power should rapidly surpass mine, and your self-preservation capabilities would be much stronger, with more means to deal with threats.¡±


    ¡°Origin Power Cultivation is the foundation.¡±


    ¡°Speaking of which, you should have already awakened the Eight Star Veins, right?¡± Jiang Shan communicated, ¡°Aren¡¯t you breaking through to Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush for the moment; I want to stay at Flying Heaven Level a bit longer, awakening my Life Star to its Limit,¡± Li Yuan spoke vaguely.


    Jiang Shan guessed that he had awakened the Eight Star Veins, and Li Yuan did not find it strange.


    In fact, according to the information transmitted by Qian Huan Pseudo-God, many major power information networks on the Jue Xing Continent now speculate that he has awakened the Eight Star Veins.


    Otherwise, how could he burst forth with Semi-Divine Limit strength?


    ¡°That¡¯s right, since you can¡¯t catch up with this Ancestral Realm battle, and you¡¯re still young, it won¡¯t matter if you break through late, ten or twenty years from now, it¡¯s better to solidify your Star Meridian foundation,¡± Jiang Shan said, ¡°After all, your Soul Will is strong, and your Law Comprehension speed won¡¯t be too slow.¡±


    ¡°By the way, have you found out who is behind the assassination?¡± Jiang Shan asked curiously.


    ¡°Not yet,¡± Li Yuan shook his head, after the assassination, Jiang Yuan True God only communicated with him that they were investigating.


    However, ten days had passed, and there was still no conclusion.


    Li Yuan did not have much expectation to begin with; first, the assassin Pseudo-God was clearly a dead soldier, likely having assumed a false identity. With his body destroyed, it was extremely difficult to find out amongst the many Divines on the Jue Xing Continent.


    Second, even if they found out, what then? If the other party dared to make a move, they would not fear being discovered. With Li Yuan¡¯s current strength, he didn¡¯t have the capability to kill in retaliation.


    In this way, Li Yuan and Jiang Shan continued to exchange psychic messages as they followed in flight.


    Before long.


    The group of several dozen people had arrived at a northern district of Yuan Country Capital.


    There, an astonishingly expansive series of towering tower-like Transmission Arrays were erected¡­ there were no less than eighteen Transmission Arrays.


    Seventeen of those Transmission Arrays led to the Royal Capitals of the other core Divine Kingdoms in the East Domain.


    The tallest and most imposing Transmission Array, however, led to one of the continent¡¯s Holy Lands for Cultivation¡ªthe Jue Xing Ancient City.


    It could be said.


    The Yuan Country Capital is a core locus of the East Domain, where a large number of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine beings and even Divines teleport daily from other Divine Kingdoms to the Yuan Country Capital.


    There was a constant stream of arrivals and departures.


    Just the fees collected for teleportation were astonishing indeed.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Above the eighteen Transmission Arrays, large numbers of soldiers clothed in Black Armor patrolled¡­ they were the Black Abyss Guard, one of the mightiest military forces of Yuan Country.


    Formal members of the Black Abyss Guard were at least at Semi-Divine Middle Rank, and those guarding here amounted to over a thousand¡­ furthermore, there were many Divines secretly guarding the Transmission Arrays.


    ¡°Transmission Arrays?¡± A hint of curiosity flitted through Li Yuan¡¯s eyes.


    Space Transmission Arrays could only be laid down by Heavenly Divines with extreme comprehension of Space Law.


    Li Yuan had read about them before, but this was the first time he was seeing one in person.


    They followed Sha Xi Pseudo-God directly towards the deep end where the towering Transmission Array was located.


    ¡°Who are these people?¡±


    ¡°There was also a team before this.¡±


    ¡°They are going to ride the Ancient City Transmission Array?¡± Many Black Abyss Guards watched curiously at this scene.


    Teleportation between different Divine Kingdoms was frequent.


    But the Transmission Array leading to Jue Xing Ancient City was activated far less often, sometimes not even once a day.


    Yet in recent days, there had been quite a few teams like this.


    ¡°Stupid!¡±


    ¡°Are you new here? The one in Silver Armor is Jiang Shan, and the other in black clothes is Xu Yuan,¡± another of the Black Abyss Guard glanced over, ¡°Have some discernment.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re likely going to Jue Xing Ancient City for special training and cultivation.¡±


    ¡°The Jue Xing Ancient City is comprised of Divines, isn¡¯t it?¡±


    Some more well-informed Black Abyss Guards mentioned, ¡°Reportedly, the top ten Flying Heaven Semi-Divine geniuses from Divine Fire Palace are qualified to go to Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°These days, it¡¯s not just our Divine Kingdom, but some top talents from other weaker Divine Kingdoms have also been sending teams to our Yuan Country Capital, taking Transmission Arrays to the Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Top ten in Divine Fire Palace?¡±


    ¡°What freaks of nature.¡±


    ¡°The ones in the top ten of the Semi-Divine List likely boast power comparably to Pseudo-Gods,¡± these Black Abyss Guards muttered to themselves.


    In terms of power and status, they were superior to many Semi-Divines outside¡­ but compared to the Divine Fire Palace¡¯s geniuses, they were nothing.


    At that moment.


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God had led Li Yuan and the others into the Space Transmission Array.


    Soon the Transmission Array flashed with a sky-piercing radiance.


    Whoosh!


    The inside of the Transmission Array became empty, clearly indicating that Li Yuan and the others had reached a distant land.

    Chapter 821: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths_2


    Within a vast canyon stood tower-shaped transmission arrays, one after another¡­ Suddenly, one transmission array flickered with light, and immediately afterward, dozens of people flew out of the transmission array.


    ¡°This is Jue Xing Ancient City? Why is it a canyon? There¡¯s hardly anyone around.¡± Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°In the sky, there are divine guards.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not quite what I imagined.¡± Jiang Xuan, Li Yuan, and other Flying Heaven Level cultivators all looked around curiously.


    Suspended in the void was a black warship with more than a dozen figures wearing black armor, resembling soldiers, all with rather indifferent expressions.


    At first glance, they seemed like ordinary soldiers, but the aura they emitted made Jiang Xuan and the others at the Flying Heaven Level feel a chill in their spines.


    Divine!!


    ¡°Warship? Soldiers? Pseudo-God?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat because he immediately thought of the first time he received the ¡®Martial God Inheritance¡¯ on Martial Divine Mountain.


    In that divine mark, a similar scene existed.


    Divine as soldiers!


    ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City, worthy of being the biggest force on the Jue Xing Continent.¡± Li Yuan thought of many things: ¡°The Martial God Inheritance is the ¡®All Gods Inheritance Cave Dwelling¡¯, which was obtained by Dongfang Alliance Leader from Nine Leaves Nine Mountains¡­ Dongfang Alliance Leader and the principal are unlikely from the Jue Xing Continent.¡±


    ¡°But their experiences should have something in common with mine.¡±


    Those at the Flying Heaven Level were all visiting for the first time and were quite curious.


    However, Baili Teng, Jiang Shan, and about ten other Semi Divine Level cultivators appeared much more composed; most of them had already visited Jue Xing Ancient City during their time at the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°So many transmission arrays?¡± Li Yuan looked towards the back and was secretly shocked: ¡°Over sixty transmission arrays?¡±


    The number was too many.


    ¡°Xu Yuan brother, don¡¯t be surprised.¡± Jiang Shan whispered, ¡°These transmission arrays, eighteen are through the core Divine Kingdoms¡­ The other arrays lead to treasures controlled by Jue Xing Ancient City, all containing great opportunities.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    In the East Domain, out of eight hundred Divine Kingdoms, most have not established transmission arrays¡­ but they have built them towards certain treasured lands instead.


    It is enough to show that in the eyes of Jue Xing Ancient City, the importance of many treasured lands is even greater than those of ordinary Divine Kingdoms.


    ¡°All these are just what is apparent. It is said that there are secret places that only core members can access.¡± Jiang Shan said with a smile: ¡°Baili and I only stayed outside the city for five years when we were younger¡­ We never entered the city, all is what we heard from others.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan brother, you have the potential to become a reserve member as a Saint Heir. Saint Heirs are also core members; maybe you will get to know them.¡± Jiang Shan said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do my best.¡± Li Yuan laughed softly, but his mind was pondering.


    Outside the city?


    Inside the city?


    ¡°Very soon, you will see the most magnificent city in the world.¡± Jiang Shan smiled mysteriously again.


    At this time, Sha Xi Pseudo-God had flown towards the black warship in the void. It seemed that he had finished communicating with the Pseudo-God soldiers guarding the ship and now returned to the front of the group.


    ¡°We have already arrived at the ¡®Jue Xing World¡¯.¡±


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s gaze was sharp, seemingly giving a remarkable pressure, sweeping over everyone present: ¡°We are about to reach the Trial Land, so I will remind you once again.¡±


    Aside from Li Yuan and Jiang Shan whose Soul Wills are strong, the others all felt a bit intimidated!


    ¡°Ten Semi-Divine, most of you have been to Jue Xing Ancient City before¡­ you know the rules.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s voice stated: ¡°The Divine Kingdoms can give you up to three chances, and some of you are on your third chance. If you fail the trial again, you can only wait to become Pseudo-God before you have the chance to become ¡®Jue Xing Guard¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Only upon becoming a True God can you become a formal member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°But as Jue Xing Guards, you are the bottom layer of Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ with much fewer opportunities¡­ Your chances of becoming True God will be very, very low.¡±


    ¡°Among the ten of you, only Jiang Shan and Wu Beihong are absolutely confident they can pass the trial, but you must not be complacent.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, do your best,¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God said solemnly.


    ¡°Yes.¡± The ten Semi-Divine all felt the pressure.


    Li Yuan, Jiang Xuan, and the other Flying Heaven Level cultivators also stood quietly on the side and listened.


    According to what Li Yuan heard from Jiang Shan, within Jue Xing Ancient City, below the Divine, there are three major levels: ¡®Outer Members, Reserve Members, Core Saint Heir¡¯.


    The Divine ones are categorized into Jue Xing Guard, Official Members, Core Members, and generally only True Gods are Core Members.


    Among them, Reserve Members have a slightly higher status than Jue Xing Guards.


    Saint Heirs have a status equivalent to True God level Core Members.


    ¡°As for the fifteen of you.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God then looked at Li Yuan and the group of Flying Heaven Level cultivators, indifferently saying: ¡°Aside from Xu Yuan, the fourteen of you have not the slightest chance of becoming Reserve Members.¡±


    Instantly, the group of Flying Heaven Level cultivators felt their morale drop.


    But they also understood that it was much harder for Flying Heaven Level to become Reserve Members than it was for Semi-Divine Level.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°The King has high hopes for you, and the Divine Kingdom is also full of expectations for you.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s voice became much gentler: ¡°Today, for the first battle, you do your utmost. Whether you can break into the top ten, or even become a Saint Heir, is up to your determination and performance.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Among the Semi-Divine Reserve Members, the very top can be granted the title of ¡®Saint Heir¡¯.


    It is the same for Flying Heaven Level Reserve Members.


    ¡°Listening to Sha Xi Pseudo-God, there must be Flying Heaven Level cultivators within Jue Xing Ancient City with strength comparable to mine?¡± The thought flashed across Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°Regardless, I¡¯ll do my utmost.¡±


    ¡°Top ten? Saint Heir?¡±


    ¡°I want to see for myself, what kind of Flying Heaven Level cultivators could be stronger than me,¡± Li Yuan thought silently.


    Perhaps, in the Divine Realm¡¯s Chaos Divine Court, over the long years, some terrifyingly exceptional monstrosities that could erupt with Pseudo-God Level strength while at Flying Heaven Level could be born.


    But Li Yuan didn¡¯t think it was likely that the Jue Xing Continent had such monstrous talents at this moment.

    Chapter 822: Chapter 428: Jue Xing Realm! Two Paths_3


    Hoo!


    With a wave of Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s hand, an invisible force whisked them, dozens of people, out of the canyon.


    Once they flew out of the canyon.


    ¡°What is that?¡± Including Li Yuan, the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine who came to Jue Xing Realm for the first time were all stunned at this moment.


    At the end of the land within their view was an endlessly majestic city.


    The city seemed like a screen between heaven and earth, spanning thousands of kilometers in height.


    It was too high.


    Much larger than normal stars, surpassing any man-made structure Li Yuan had ever seen¡­ Even the God Level Mothership brought by Qiu Bingzun could not match it; it seemed minuscule compared to this city.


    The city walls stretched continuously to both sides, and space faintly twisted, making it impossible for them to see the end of the city.


    Magnificent!


    At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood Jiang Shan¡¯s words, this truly hailed as the most magnificent city in Jue Xing Continent.


    ¡°It¡¯s Starry Sky Ancient City!¡±


    ¡°Brother, it indeed is Starry Sky Ancient City, no doubt.¡± Gu You¡¯s voice suddenly arose with a hint of excitement: ¡°This Starry Sky Ancient City, identical to the one in the Divine Realm¡­ it has endured for hundreds of millions of years, and not even battles among Heavenly Divines could damage it, it was specially forged by the Starry Sky Divine Court, its might is boundless!¡±


    ¡°One Starry Sky Ancient City represents tremendous might,¡± sighed Gu You.


    Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    He had heard about it from Gu You before¡­ many dwellings of Heavenly Divines, in terms of Defense, cannot compare to Starry Sky Ancient City.


    Except for that endless and majestic Jue Xing Ancient City.


    On the boundless land outside the city, there were also quite a few Floating Cities¡­ These cities were also thousands of kilometers in size, also qualifying as mega-cities, but they appeared inconspicuous next to Starry Sky Ancient City.


    ¡°Stop looking.¡±


    ¡°If you can become Reserve Members, you can enter Jue Xing Ancient City.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God spoke indifferently: ¡°Otherwise, just look from the outside.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Many Flying Heaven Semi-Divine respectfully replied, their hearts filled with fighting spirit.


    They all knew.


    Jue Xing Ancient City, was the supreme place for cultivation between heaven and earth.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God led dozens of people, swiftly flying towards a Floating City in the void.


    Actually.


    In the depths of Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s eyes, a faint hint of envy flashed: ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ what a pity!¡±


    He, back then, had not been able to become a ¡®Reserve Member¡¯ of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    Nor did he wish to become a guard of Jue Xing, constantly ordered around; where would be as pleasant as holding a high position in a Divine Kingdom?


    ¡­


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God led the team, capable of flying tens of kilometers in a second, and within a few minutes, they had arrived inside that Floating City.


    At the center of the city was a super large plaza, where there were already up to thousands of flying Heaven Level, Semi Divine Level, divided into waiting teams.


    These thousands of people all had very distinct symbols on their chests, with each team¡¯s symbol being the same.


    Clearly grouped by ¡®Divine Kingdom¡¯ as a unit.


    ¡°You go down first and patiently wait,¡± said Sha Xi Pseudo-God.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Jiang Shan, Li Yuan immediately flew towards the plaza, randomly selected a spot and landed.


    The moment they landed.


    ¡°Hum~¡± ¡°Hum~¡± A wave of invisible force swept past, and in front of the chests of Jiang Shan, Li Yuan, badges condensed and formed.


    Engraved on them was an ancient character ¡®Yuan.¡¯


    Swoosh!


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God soared into the sky, entering the clouds aloft.


    ¡°So many Divine beings.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but look upwards, there seemed to be a viewing platform in the clouds, many partially visible figures, probably the Pseudo-Gods leading the teams.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Abyss Country team.¡±


    ¡°One of the eighteen core Divine Kingdoms, no wonder there are so many people.¡±


    ¡°Our Divine Kingdom, a total of only ten people allowed.¡±


    ¡°Abyss Country! Who is Xu Yuan?¡±


    ¡°It seems to be that young man in black garment, it is said he can unleash Semi-Divine Limit strength, likely to vie for the Saint Heir position, at least entering the top ten.¡±


    ¡°Really? He hasn¡¯t even commenced cultivation in Jue Xing Ancient City, and he can vie for the Saint Heir position?¡±


    ¡°Uncertain.¡± The teams around Abyss Country immediately started discussing, and their topic of discussion was mostly about Li Yuan; even Jiang Shan wasn¡¯t mentioned.


    Clearly.


    Looking at the many Divine Kingdoms, Jiang Shan, although also extremely strong among Semi-Divines, he wasn¡¯t one of the strongest.


    But Li Yuan, even among a gathering place of geniuses from hundreds of Divine Kingdoms, remained at the top among the Flying Heaven Level.


    ¡°Jiang Shan, look.¡± Wu Beihong¡¯s voice carried a hint of mockery: ¡°So what if you¡¯re number one on the Semi-Divine List within our Divine Kingdom? Here, doesn¡¯t someone even recognize you?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s as if they recognize you,¡± Jiang Shan glanced at him: ¡°My brother Xu Yuan is so famous, I can only be happy for him, naturally not jealous like you.¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Irony!¡± scoffed Wu Beihong.


    ¡­


    In the high skies of the plaza, on that small viewing platform, hundreds of Pseudo-Gods had also gathered, chatting casually. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Swoosh!


    Sha Xi Pseudo-God flew into the viewing platform, immediately attracting the attention of many Pseudo-Gods.


    ¡°Sha Xi is here.¡±


    ¡°Sha Xi, long time no see.¡± Many Pseudo-Gods greeted Sha Xi Pseudo-God warmly, all extremely enthusiastic.


    Instantly, Sha Xi Pseudo-God became a prominent figure among hundreds of Pseudo-Gods.


    Firstly, as Sha Xi Pseudo-God represented ¡®Jiang Yuan True God¡¯, his status was naturally not something ordinary Pseudo-God leaders could compete with.


    Secondly, it was also because in the Abyss Country team, there was Li Yuan, an exceptional rarity.


    ¡°Sha Xi, I heard that Xu Yuan has Semi-Divine Limit strength, isn¡¯t he capable of directly challenging for the Saint Heir position?¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven Level, only three Saint Heir spots.¡±


    ¡°If he successfully challenges, that would be legendary.¡±

    ?Chapter 824: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes) Chapter 824: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes) On the Void Arena, those hundred-plus Flying Heaven Reserve Members had already heard the words of Chi Yang True God.


    ¡°Challenge the tenth?¡±


    ¡°Ji Yan! Someone is challenging you.¡±


    ¡°So it¡¯s Xu Yuan, eh? I had heard about it before, saying that this session has a fierce one, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be this formidable.¡±


    ¡°Directly challenging the tenth, leaving no room for himself, does he not fear an accident?¡±


    ¡°Could he truly possess Semi-Divine Limit strength?¡± These hundred-plus Flying Heaven Reserve Members were quietly discussing among themselves.


    It must be noted, being able to become a reserve member of the ancient city at the Flying Heaven Level, each of them could be called a favored child of heaven, with quite a few having awakened Seven Star Veins¡­ their Law Comprehension is extremely high.


    One could say, each of these Jue Xing Ancient City reserve members could burst forth with Semi-Divine strength, those ranked within the top ten¡­ are geniuses among geniuses.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    ¡°Challenge me?¡± The reserve member named Ji Yan did not look very pleased.


    Normally speaking, in such challenge matches, these older generation reserve members, mostly between the fiftieth to one hundredth ranks, would be challenged.


    Those ranked higher are mostly just going through the motions.


    But Ji Yan did not expect to be the first to be challenged, so naturally, he was annoyed.


    ¡°Ji Yan, don¡¯t be careless.¡± The woman in a purple gauze dress said softly, ¡°Rumors say he has Semi-Divine Limit strength, but that battle was very short, and there¡¯s only this one fight¡­¡±


    ¡°But, even if the rumor is false, if he managed to survive an assassination by a Pseudo-God, he shouldn¡¯t be a fool, daring to challenge the tenth, he must not be weak.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    ¡°Qi Xia, don¡¯t worry.¡± Ji Yan¡¯s gaze was cold, he murmured lowly: ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, a youngster who has practiced for just over thirty years, never having cultivated in the Ancient City, how could he possibly burst forth with Semi-Divine Limit strength?¡±


    Hoo!


    Ji Yan¡¯s figure moved, already floating down into the Void Arena. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Actually, Ji Yan¡¯s thought represented the views of quite a number of reserve members¡­ Many had gotten information about Xu Yuan, at least acknowledging the person.


    But regarding ¡®Semi-Divine Limit strength¡¯, many Flying Heaven reserve members were skeptical.


    Just surviving a Divine assassination does not prove one¡¯s strength conclusively.


    Moreover, most of them were brilliant talents from their respective Divine Kingdoms, having been nurtured for decades in Jue Xing Ancient City, what kind of strength could they have?


    Drawing from oneself and others, without showcasing real combat achievements, it¡¯s hard to completely convince them.


    Shoo!


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, likewise transforming into a stream of light, rushing into the Void Arena.


    The two were tens of kilometers apart, facing each other from afar.


    At this moment.


    Whether it was those thousand Pseudo-Gods, or the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divines in the square, their gaze fell upon the two.


    ¡°Big brother, can Brother Xu win?¡± Jiang Xuan was incredibly nervous, ¡°This is one of the top geniuses, ranked in the top ten amongst Flying Heaven in Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Hard to say.¡±


    ¡°If Brother Xu Yuan really has the strength rumored¡­ but I¡¯m worried, back when he resisted the Law Treasure, it was with the help of external objects.¡± Jiang Shan communicated through voice transmission: ¡°After all, you know as well, a Flying Heaven Level attempting to erupt with Semi-Divine Limit strength is unimaginable.¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡± Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, her anxious heart somewhat relieved.


    Because!


    Back then, in the Abyss Demon Blood Den, she had witnessed Li Yuan defeating two Blood Demons.


    ¡­


    Within the internal part of the Void Arena, Li Yuan and Ji Yan faced each other distantly.


    Whir~ Along with the operation of the arena¡¯s formation, an invisible force enveloped heaven and earth, already covering both of them with a layer of hazy azure light.


    This was a protection, similar to the duels in the Nine Sound Building¡­ once the injuries one suffered surpassed the protective azure light¡¯s limit, they would be judged as defeated.


    After all, it¡¯s merely a sparring match, not a battle to the death, Jue Xing Ancient City did not wish for its talents to die this way.


    ¡°Unexpectedly.¡±


    ¡°One day, I would actually be challenged in a trial battle.¡± Ji Yan was also clad in black, his eyes cold, ¡°I will let you understand, in Jue Xing Ancient City, relying on treasures is useless, the top ten of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s Flying Heaven List¡­ are not something you can shake.¡±


    Till now, Ji Yan still believed that Li Yuan blocking the Law Treasure was not due to his own strength.


    ¡°Oh? You¡¯re called Ji Yan, right?¡± Li Yuan smiled lightly: ¡°Are you always this brave? More confident than me.¡±


    ¡°Bring out all your strength, I hope you¡¯re stronger than what the intelligence mentioned, otherwise, once I make a move, you won¡¯t have a chance.¡± Li Yuan said.


    Ji Yan was surprised.


    Those hundred-plus Flying Heaven reserve members watching from the edge of the Void Arena heard their conversation clearly and were suddenly a bit confused.


    Is this Xu Yuan really so confident?


    You must know, even those saint heirs ranked second or third, with strength clearly stronger than Ji Yan¡¯s, wouldn¡¯t have such an attitude.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°Very good!¡± Ji Yan laughed in extreme anger: ¡°Just let me see how capable you, Xu Yuan, truly are.¡±


    Boom!


    With one step, Ji Yan instantly transformed into a ten-meter-tall figure, already having executed the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique: Life Breath soared to an astonishing level, nearly reaching the Semi-Divine Middle Rank, and in his hand emerged a Divine Artifact Combat Saber.


    Not bursting forth before, but now having burst forth, Ji Yan gave it his all.


    As a Third Rank Seven Star Veins powerhouse, he had his capital of pride.


    ¡°Kill!¡± Ji Yan transformed into a streak of light, closed the distance to Li Yuan in mere seconds, followed by a saber light like thunder splitting the vast sky, containing a conception of destruction, instantly striking towards Li Yuan.


    In terms of strength and skill, Ji Yan was much more terrifying than Fang Hai at the Flying Heaven Level, after all, his cultivation environment was much better, and his cultivation time was longer.


    ¡°Semi-Divine Limit level technique and moves? Reaching this step at the Flying Heaven Level is indeed impressive, in terms of strength should be close to the Semi-Divine Peak.¡± Through that furiously chopped saber, Li Yuan easily deduced the opponent¡¯s strength.

    ?Chapter 825: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)_2 Chapter 825: Chapter 429: Saint Heir Xu Yuan (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)_2 This strength is quite impressive.


    Sadly, he is facing Li Yuan.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan did not even take out the Dark Star Divine Spear, he simply took a step and transformed into a ten-meter tall figure, his entire body covered with Nine Dragons Xuan Armor as he horizontally chopped forward with one hand.


    This move,


    was Li Yuan subconsciously imitating the scene in the Mirror of Laws, where Anchi Heavenly God slashed down with both palms unified.


    Using the palm as a saber!


    Slicing through the void!


    Li Yuan¡¯s palm, fully covered with metallic scales, immediately triggered the vibrations of the Law Origin from the universe, executing the fourth form of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear.¡±


    At his level, no matter what weapon he used, he could nearly perfectly execute the might of the moves.


    ¡°Boom~~¡±


    The palm blade instantly collided with the combat saber.


    ¡°You lose¡­ Huh? No way! How is this possible!¡± The originally imposing Ji Yan¡¯s complexion changed instantly, feeling an unbelievable and powerful force transmitted through his combat saber the moment they touched.


    The terrifying force of the impact almost made him lose grip of his own combat saber.


    Strong!


    Too strong.


    ¡°Bang!¡± The combat saber almost slipped from Ji Yan¡¯s hands, the base of his thumb cracked, his thick arms instantly tore, and blood spilled¡­ his entire body violently blasted backwards.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    But Li Yuan was faster, swiftly closing the distance like a gust of wind, and chopped with his palm blade again, directly sweeping over Ji Yan¡¯s body.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± The protective azure light covering Ji Yan burst into a frightful glow, resisting the invasion of Li Yuan¡¯s blade momentum.


    ¡°The winner is determined.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan wins!¡± A deep voice echoed in the Void Arena: ¡°Li Yuan successfully challenges and ranks tenth on the Starry Sky Ancient City Flying Heaven List.¡±


    Hush!


    Li Yuan moved and gracefully retreated backward, while Ji Yan was still in shock.


    In one encounter, he was defeated.


    Moreover, Li Yuan did not even use his weapon, showcasing a fearsome strength.


    Inside and outside the arena, silence prevailed.


    Before the match, many guessed that Li Yuan had a great chance of winning, but no one expected such a clear and swift victory.


    ¡°Ji Yan lost just like that?¡±


    ¡°Palm blade? Isn¡¯t Xu Yuan best at Spear Technique? How strong must he be to use a weapon?¡±


    ¡°The intelligence was actually true.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, indeed possesses Semi-Divine Limit strength! How short has he been practicing? No doubt about it.¡± After a moment of silence, the entire square erupted in intense discussions.


    ¡°¡­Won.¡± Jiang Xuan smiled: ¡°Big brother, Big brother Xu has won.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I saw it.¡± Jiang Shan sighed deeply: ¡°My previous guess was indeed true, it was a Pseudo-God Level move, our Brother Xu Yuan is truly ferocious.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Does he really have such strong capabilities?¡± Sha Xi Pseudo-God¡¯s eyes brightened, showing a smile: ¡°Good! Good! There¡¯s really hope for challenging the Saint Heir.¡±


    ¡­


    Among discussions,


    Heavenly Divine Chi Yang speaking in the void with a hint of a smile in his tone: ¡°Xu Yuan, congratulations on your success in challenging the tenth rank, do you wish to continue challenging? You have one more attempt.¡±


    ¡°Reporting to the True God, I would like to continue challenging.¡± Li Yuan said, having won the tenth spot, he already earned a guaranteed reward.


    The next match, even if lost, doesn¡¯t matter anymore.


    ¡°Good.¡± Chi Yang True God wasn¡¯t surprised and asked: ¡°Which rank do you want to challenge?¡±


    ¡°First!¡± said Li Yuan directly.


    Although the top three were all Saint Heirs, in Li Yuan¡¯s view, since the outcome didn¡¯t matter, he naturally wanted to experience the best.


    Li Yuan¡¯s words also spread instantly, making countless people turn their eyes towards the waiting platform next to the Void Arena.


    ¡°Challenge the first.¡±


    ¡°Contesting for Saint Heir!¡±


    ¡°Can Xu Yuan win?¡±


    ¡°He will definitely win, defeating the tenth without even using a weapon. Once he uses a weapon, how strong he must be.¡± In a very short time, many people¡¯s thoughts flipped one hundred and eighty degrees, believing Li Yuan could take down the first place.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    And on the waiting platform, more than a hundred Flying Heaven Reserve Members all turned their eyes towards that purple-robed woman¡ªQi Xia.


    She is the current first Ranked Flying Heaven of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    ¡°Xu Yuan is really confident.¡±


    ¡°Dare to actually challenge Qi Xia.¡±


    ¡°Humph, if I had Semi-Divine Limit strength, I too would have the confidence to challenge the Saint Heir.¡± S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°But that is Qi Xia.¡± These Flying Heaven Reserve Members conversed with each other.


    Perhaps the tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine on the square didn¡¯t know; even the Pseudo-Gods were unclear.


    But these Flying Heaven Reserve Members, over many years, had already deeply understood how formidable Qi Xia was.


    With her strength, she was absolutely qualified to contend for the title of ¡®Strongest Flying Heaven¡¯ in the entire Jue Xing Continent.


    Hush!


    The purple-robed woman stood up, under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, gracefully entered the arena.


    She and Li Yuan were tens of kilometers apart, facing each other.


    ¡°Qi Xia, huh?¡± Li Yuan internally recited, sensing from Qi Xia¡¯s emitted aura, her composure.


    Having witnessed his own moves yet remaining so composed, she must have substantial capabilities.


    ¡°Troublesome.¡±


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, actually possesses Semi-Divine Limit strength.¡± Although Qi Xia appeared composed on the surface, her heart was somewhat panicked: ¡°Since this piece of information is true, then the estimation of his Soul Will reaching Pseudo-God Level should also be true.¡±


    ¡°How shall I win?¡± Qi Xia felt an aura difficult to deal with.


    From Li Yuan, Qi Xia could feel a terrifying determination and sharpness.


    Just like a Divine Spear that splits the Vast Sky, possessing a terror that could break through heaven and earth.


    And Qi Xia also knew, Xu Yuan had only practiced for a little over thirty years to achieve such power.


    ¡°Such a monster, reaching extremely high levels in every aspect, almost without any weaknesses.¡±


    ¡°I can only fight with all I¡¯ve got.¡± Qi Xia internally recited, she had faced many Semi-Divines, but never such a terrifying Semi-Divine.

    Struggling to awaken the Nine Star Pulse?


    Do your utmost towards your goal, that¡¯s enough; no need to be annoyed or worried by the result.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡±


    ¡°Once I condense the True Intention of Space, and can awaken more Life Stars, I will have succeeded,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    ¡­


    Day by day, Li Yuan continued immersing himself in cultivation, occasionally taking on some trial missions.


    But even the toughest ¡®First Rank Flying Heaven trial missions¡¯ posed no challenge to him; they were just diversions in his monotonous cultivation life.


    In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.


    On this day.


    ¡°Cultivation of the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ has ended.¡± Li Yuan opened his eyes, his consciousness just waking up from the infinite illusionary realm as if he had traversed thousands of years of success and failure: ¡°It¡¯s time to try awakening more Life Stars.¡±


    Huff!


    After adjusting his mood, Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and his soul consciousness once again descended into the Life Starry Sky.


    Compared to when he first arrived at the Jue Xing Continent five years ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Starry Sky had become much more dazzling.


    The previously dim starry night now had a multitude of twinkling stars¡­ nearly a million unowned Life Stars, along with the Life Stars of the Eight Star Veins, added a lot of brightness to this darkness.


    ¡°Huff!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness diverged.


    As countless times before, he again tried to roam the starry sky, seeking the ¡®Unawakened Life Stars¡¯ hidden within each lifeless Life Star.


    Shortly after.


    ¡°Buzz~¡± Another Life Star integrated with a strand of Li Yuan¡¯s consciousness and burst into brilliant light.


    Just then, this Life Star seemed like the final force that triggered an avalanche in the snowy mountains.


    ¡°Boom!!¡± In the Life Starry Sky, among those nearly a million disorganized Life Stars, a very small fraction seemed to be drawn by a strange force, began to link together, and then started moving.


    Like an orbit of celestial bodies.


    They truly became alive.


    This small portion of Life Stars, along with the recently awakened one by Li Yuan, not too many or too few, precisely amounted to 12,960 Life Stars.


    ¡°Hm?¡± Li Yuan was initially stunned, then an endless joy surged in his heart.


    It was done!


    The Ninth Star Vein had finally fully awakened silently.


    ¡°Rumble~¡± Along with the awakening of the Ninth Star Vein, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Starry Sky trembled faintly.


    Within the Sea of Origin Power, all of a sudden, another Star Vein spanned the void, connecting to the central ¡®Origin Pill¡¯, making the already perfectly smooth Origin Pill even more powerful and complete.


    ¡°Whoosh~¡±


    The Origin Pill began its transformation; the Origin Power became purer and rapidly aimed for a breakthrough towards 39.0 level.


    With the awakening of the Ninth Star Vein, Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power¡¯s upper limit reached the level of 39.9.


    ¡­


    Whoosh~ Layers of dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the surface of Li Yuan¡¯s body.


    Nine Star Veins intertwined like beams of light.


    Eight of them were extremely bright, almost identical, only the last one was relatively dimmer but still clearly visible.


    ¡°Nine Star Veins!¡±


    ¡°Is this the limit of a Flying Heaven life?¡± Li Yuan sensed a fluctuation from the depths of the cosmos.


    This seemed like a congratulation from the vast world, or perhaps a kind of message, or maybe just a feeling in his own heart.


    Regardless, this was a limit.


    ¡°Six Star Pulse, Seven Star Pulse, Eight Star Pulse, Nine Star Pulse¡­ the further along, the harder the awakening, and in the Third Rank Life, the transition from Eight Star Pulse to Nine Star Pulse is like a moat.¡± Li Yuan silently said: ¡°Regardless, I, Li Yuan, have succeeded.¡±


    Being able to take this step.


    All along the way, with the help of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, without it, reaching the Eight Star Pulse at Second Rank would be impossible.


    There were also many opportunities.


    With the guidance and help of seniors like Fang Hai, Dongfang Ji, and Jiang Yuan, without these¡­ Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will and Law Comprehension could not have grown so quickly.


    And Li Yuan¡¯s own efforts and perseverance, never thinking of giving up, even if it nearly cost him his life, still steadfast in his own path.


    Many factors.


    ¡°Talent, opportunity, plus luck.¡± Li Yuan was clear about this: ¡°Those have made me who I am today.¡±


    Third Rank Nine Star Pulse!!


    Even in the vast and boundless Divine Realm, that absolutely qualifies as legendary, only the most exceptional monsters throughout the endless ages could match Li Yuan in terms of Star Pulse.


    The birth of each Third Rank Nine Star Pulse is a convergence of many factors, both external and internal.


    Even the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, is indeed against the heavens.


    But, just like on Jue Xing Continent, where generation after generation of top geniuses get a massive amount of Jue Xing Divine Pills, accumulating in quantity, their effect can approach ¡®Spiritual Guidance¡¯¡­ In the vast and endless Divine Realm, there are many opportunities more incredible than Jue Xing Divine Pills, which are comparable to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.


    Suddenly.


    Whoosh! An invisible fluctuation was born from the void, this fluctuation ignored the obstructions of the Trial Space¡¯s formation, as well as Li Yuan¡¯s own Soul Defense.


    It directly transmitted to the depths of Li Yuan¡¯s spirit.


    In Li Yuan¡¯s mind, a message had emerged: ¡°Trialist, you have completed the second task ¡®Achieve Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse¡¯, becoming a Golden Garment Member, and obtained the ¡®Return Command¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Once you activate the Return Command, you can go to the Eternal Hall.¡±


    ¡°After arriving at the Eternal Hall, you can choose to give up the other tasks, return to your home world, or choose to return to Jue Xing Continent again, continue the first task, the third task¡­ Only upon completing all three tasks, can you become a Purple Garment Member.¡±


    Whir~


    In Li Yuan¡¯s Spiritual World, next to the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, a nearly ethereal golden token suddenly appeared.


    This golden token does not contain any Origin Power, but is composed of Spiritual Power, yet it contains a strange force within.


    ¡°Return Command?¡± Li Yuan, sensing the golden token, already knew the function of this token.


    Once triggered, he himself could reach that so-called ¡®Eternal Hall¡¯.


    ¡°Golden Garment Member?¡±


    ¡°After using the Return Command, can I choose to go back to my homeland civilization, or continue the other two tasks?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s mind instantly flashed with many thoughts.


    This mysterious Eternal Hall, is indeed unimaginably powerful.


    Even Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s highest echelons might not yet know of his awakening of the Nine Star Pulse, yet it already knows.


    ¡°Whether to go back or not, let¡¯s see after reaching the Eternal Hall, there¡¯s no rush for now.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, even if I want to use this Return Command, I can¡¯t use it within the Jue Xing Realm.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    This message did not state how long it would take to reach the Eternal Hall, after all, Jue Xing Ancient City has the power of a Heavenly Divine.


    If he suddenly disappears, and when he returns later, even with the protection of Jiang Yuan True God, many things would be hard to explain.


    Deep down, Li Yuan hopes to participate in the battle of the Ancestral Realm.


    ¡°Reserve Members wishing to leave Jue Xing Realm must become Semidivine.¡± Li Yuan quickly made a decision: ¡°The message left to me by the Dongfang Alliance Leader also requires me to become Semi-Divine to open.¡± S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Moreover, since the Nine Star Pulse is achieved.¡±


    ¡°The Life Starry Sky space can no longer awaken more Life Stars.¡± Li Yuan had already tried this.


    Since the Nine Star Pulse was achieved, the carrying capacity of the Life Starry Sky space seemed to have reached its limit, unable to awaken another Life Star.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to delay further, I should strive to break through to Semidivine first.¡±

 Chapter 845: 436: Demigod Li Yuan (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)

    Chapter 845: Chapter 436: Demigod Li Yuan (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)


    Phew!


    At the thought, Li Yuan restrained the radiance of the Nine Star Pulse emanating from his body: ¡°Once my Origin Power Cultivation reaches level 39.9, I can directly break through to the Demigod realm.¡±


    After awakening the Nine Star Pulse, along with the Transformation of the Origin Pill, Li Yuan¡¯s Life Level rapidly reached 39.1.


    To be on the safe side.


    Li Yuan also transmitted messages to Jiang Yuan True God and others, informing them he needed to go into seclusion to prepare for the breakthrough to Demigod and that they need not provide guidance for the time being.


    If possible, Li Yuan did not wish to reveal the secret of his ¡®Third Rank Nine Star Pulse¡¯.


    Once all preparations were in place, Li Yuan directly entered the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Sister.¡± Li Yuan immediately saw the girl in white in the distance and smiled: ¡°I succeeded.¡±


    ¡°I know, I know, I sensed it just a moment ago.¡± Gu You¡¯s face was filled with excitement: ¡°Third Rank Nine Star Pulse.¡±


    My heavens!


    Initially, Gu You had high hopes for Li Yuan, and even her highest goals for him only dared to reach the Demigod Eight Star Pulse, yet Li Yuan achieving the Second Rank Eight Star Pulse already exceeded her expectations.


    But Gu You never imagined that Li Yuan would achieve the Third Rank Nine Star Pulse accomplishment in such a short time.


    Throughout the ages, looking across the vast Divine Realm, there are only a handful who could achieve this feat.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m preparing to break through to Demigod as soon as possible,¡± Li Yuan said outright: ¡°Otherwise, if we delay, the higher-ups of Jue Xing Ancient City might notice.¡±


    ¡°Yes, with the Nine Star Pulse, there¡¯s indeed no need to delay further in the Flying Heaven Level.¡± Gu You nodded continuously: ¡°Go to the Divine Crystal Chamber, I will completely lift the restrictions, and you can absorb the Divine Crystal Energy to your heart¡¯s content.¡±


    Phew!


    Li Yuan soon entered the Divine Crystal Chamber through the corridors and immediately sensed a vast amount of Divine Crystal Energy roaming around.


    ¡°It¡¯s still too sparse,¡± Li Yuan murmured to himself, then flipped his hand to take out a large amount of Divine Crystals and placed them around him.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Running the Star Meridians within his body, all his limbs and bones completely opened up, and like Taotie, he began a frenzied devouring.


    Divine Crystals, containing the most pure ¡®Origin Power¡¯, whether it¡¯s for cultivating Origin Power or Star Techniques, or for refining artifacts, alchemy, puppets, using warships, etc., Divine Crystals serve great purposes.


    Using Divine Crystals to cultivate Origin Power is the most extravagant.


    However, Li Yuan, being wealthy and powerful, currently pursuing the fastest speed to break through, naturally does not care about these matters.


    ¡­


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current level, the speed of refining Divine Crystal Origin Power is many times faster than normal Flying Heaven Level.


    In less than a month.


    Li Yuan¡¯s Origin Power Cultivation had broken through from level 39.1 to 39.9, achieving Perfection.


    ¡°This is the limit of the Flying Heaven Level, level 39.9,¡± Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the Quiet Chamber, feeling the strength of the Origin Pill.


    At this moment, even without employing any Star Techniques, the strength of his Origin Power body was nearly at the Demigod level.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to breakthrough,¡± Li Yuan thought.


    The Sea of Origin Power, a vast space.


    Nine Star Veins extended into this space, with streaks of faint yellow liquid flowing in the void, encircling the dazzling and lustrous ¡®Origin Pill¡¯, which was Li Yuan¡¯s Flying Heaven Origin Power.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the already extremely powerful Origin Pill began its Transformation, the temperature started to surge, and the myriad of Origin Power operating within it immediately underwent a qualitive change, leaping to a higher level.


    The scattered streams of Origin Power liquid floating in the space were also crazily devoured by the Origin Pill.


    Making the Origin Pill even more formidable!


    Even, the Origin Pill began autonomously crazily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Origin Power from the outside¡­Li Yuan did not hesitate and took out a large amount of Divine Crystals again to supply the absorbing Transformation of the Origin Pill.


    Almost in the blink of an eye.


    Around Li Yuan, a surging Origin Power vortex formed, and a great amount of Origin Power almost condensed into a tangible substance.


    Inside Li Yuan.


    The temperature inside that Origin Pill was also rapidly climbing, until it reached a certain limit in an instant.


    ¡°Boom~¡± With the Origin Pill rapidly expanding, it suddenly collapsed inward, and then the Origin Pill visibly started to shrink at a speed that was frighteningly fast.


    Eventually, inside the Origin Power Space, there were only eight dazzling and lustrous Innate Star Vein Marks and one Acquired Star Vein Mark¡­and a very small red light spot.


    ¡°Pfft!¡± The light spot suddenly exploded, a burst of power impacted in all directions, and a small flame was born in the center.


    When this small cluster of flames was born, illuminating the Origin Power Space, it was like a great tree had roots, and a river had a source¡­the entire Origin Power Space seemed to have an added surging vitality.


    This, is the Fire Seed!


    The foundation of a Demigod.


    Phew~ As if a breeze passed by, causing the flame to show signs of extinguishing.


    ¡°Sss~¡± sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Sss~¡± The nine Star Vein Marks transformed into nine streaks of flowing light and immediately flew into that small cluster of flames, making the flame much brighter¡­Boom, a large amount of Origin Power crazily surging towards it, quickly forming a thick layer of Origin Power protection around the Fire Seed.


    Constantly condensing, compressing, expanding, compressing¡­ The energy in the Divine Crystal Chamber was absorbed by Li Yuan, and a massive amount of Divine Crystals were continuously absorbed by Li Yuan.


    Ten Fangshen Crystals, twenty Fangshen Crystals, fifty Fangshen Crystals, one hundred Fangshen Crystals¡­


    The thick layer of Origin Power protection, like a brand-new Origin Pill was born, perfectly integrating the Fire Seed and the nine Star Vein Marks at its core.


    ¡°Whish~¡±


    Inside the newly born Origin Pill, nourished by the Origin Power, the Fire Seed grew even mightier, and strands of flames burning inside the Origin Pill actually made the Origin Power contained within the Origin Pill even more pure.


    Forming a miraculous cycle.


    ¡°Level 40.¡± Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel, also feeling the mighty power of the reborn Origin Pill.


    Fire is the source of life, with the Life Fire seeded in the pill, this is the Life Fire Source Pill!


    Also, the core of a Demigod.


    And if cultivated to the ultimate, when the Life Fire completely transforms into ¡®Divine Fire¡¯ and no longer relies on the Origin Pill for existence, then it reaches the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± The Life Fire Source Pill is still crazily absorbing the Origin Power from the surroundings, nurturing the growth of its fire seed inside.


    ¡°Level 41 now.¡±


    ¡°The fire seed formed by the marks of my Nine Star Pulse contains an astonishing life force,¡± Li Yuan mused. ¡°At level 35 Flying Heaven, once breaking through to Demigod it is usually level 40; if it is Seven Star Veins, level 37, right after breaking through it is usually level 42¡­ But I broke through at level 39, I wonder to what extent it can grow.¡±


    Li Yuan was very patient.


    Once a breakthrough occurs, the faster the Origin Power grows, the better.


    ¡°Continue!¡± Li Yuan continued to devour the energy in the Divine Crystal Chamber, and numerous Divine Crystals were being refined, consuming as much as he could.


    Inside the main hall of the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse, can its growth really be so astonishing?¡± Gu You sensed the intense movements in the Divine Crystal Chamber and couldn¡¯t help but feel emotional and somewhat excited.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    ¡°The faster it grows, the better,¡± Gu You expected with anticipation. ¡°Once the Life Fire Origin Pill is complete, both soul and body will be nurtured, breaking many previous restrictions, and Li Yuan¡¯s growth rate will experience a surge.¡±


    Gu You knew well that neither Eight Star Veins nor Nine Star Pulse showed a very clear advantage in the early stages.


    The disparity grows bigger later on.


    After Ascending to God, it will certainly be a difference between heaven and earth.


    Time passed, nearly a month later, the activity inside the Divine Crystal Chamber finally settled down completely.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Gu You sensed again, the vast vortex of Origin Power that previously enveloped Li Yuan had completely dissipated, allowing her to sense clearly. Surprise flashed in her eyes, ¡°Level 46? Or 47? Growing so fast?¡±


    ¡°Is this the power of Nine Star Pulse?¡±


    ¡°The growth of Origin Power is too fast.¡±


    ¡­


    The Divine Crystal Chamber had now quieted down completely.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse¡¯s breakthrough, the ¡®fire seed¡¯ that was nurtured is indeed astonishing, having absorbed thousands of Fangshen Crystals in one go.¡±


    Li Yuan didn¡¯t mind the consumption at all, on the contrary, his eyes sparkled: ¡°After stepping into Demigod, it actually grew to level 44.9 at once.¡±


    After the fire seed grew to its maximum, Li Yuan didn¡¯t hesitate and used the one-time Origin Power infusion obtained when his Spiritual Awakening Level reached 80%¡­ In a few days, the Life Fire Origin Pill transformed again, and his Life Level also climbed to a new height.


    Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel:


    ¡ª¡ª


    [Life Level: 46.8 (Fourth Rank)]


    Spiritual Power: Level 53


    Willpower: Level 59


    Spiritual Awakening Level: 83.4% (Current Limit 85%)


    ¡­


    In just under two months, Li Yuan transformed from level 38.9 to 46.8, and in terms of the strength of Origin Power, he could completely compare to many Demigods of Six Star Pulse.


    The soul, along with the transformation of the body¡¯s Origin Power, rapidly grew to level 53.


    This was only the beginning; nourished by the Life Fire Origin Pill, Li Yuan¡¯s soul would undergo a phase of rapid growth.


    ¡°The soul has grown to level 53, but the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening is still 85%,¡± thought Li Yuan. ¡°Next, if I want to cultivate to level 49.9, I need to rely on my own painstaking efforts.¡±


    However, as long as he is willing to use Divine Crystals for cultivation, achieving growth to level 49.9 before the battle in Ancestral Realm wouldn¡¯t be difficult for Li Yuan.


    ¡°Next.¡±


    ¡°Apart from normal cultivation of Spear Technique and Visualization Method, I need to cultivate those Star Techniques to the peak of the Fourth Rank,¡± Li Yuan mused internally.


    Only by cultivating Nine Layer Star Techniques like the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯ to the peak of the Fourth Rank, can Li Yuan¡¯s combat strength be fully unleashed.¡±


    ¡°Once I cultivate the Origin Power to level 49.9, and combine it with numerous Nine Layer Star Techniques,¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself: ¡°During the battle of Ancestral Realm, even if my Spear Technique is relatively weaker, I will be able to overpower the law with sheer force, overwhelmingly defeating most opponents with absolute power.¡±


    The formidable strength of High Star Veins practitioners lies in their nearly invincible basic strength at the same rank.


    For practitioners of Seven Star Veins, stepping into the Semi-Divine Realm, they generally cultivate one to two fighting Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    As for Li Yuan? He cultivates at least four fighting Nine Layer Star Techniques.


    And his Origin Power will be stronger.


    ¡°Dongfang Alliance Leader, relying on extremely high Law Comprehension and Origin Divine Artifact¡­ barely erupted the Peak of Pseudo-God strength.¡± Li Yuan showed a slight smile, ¡°I will be able to burst out the Peak of Pseudo-God strength more effortlessly than Dongfang Alliance Leader.¡±


    However, such potent Star Technique cultivation is very time-consuming and not something that can be achieved overnight.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    ¡°Did Brother Jiang Yuan arrive?¡± Li Yuan sensed the outside world and detected anomalies in the Trial Space.


    With a thought, Li Yuan immediately left the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    In the Trial Space.


    ¡°It¡¯s been such a long time, stepping from Flying Heaven to Demigod, has he not succeeded yet?¡± Jiang Yuan True God appeared here, his gaze sweeping through to spot the inconspicuous dust in the void.


    It was a Cave Heaven Treasure.


    And Jiang Yuan True God instantly judged that this Cave Heaven Treasure should be a True God Instrument.


    Previously inside Li Yuan¡¯s body, Jiang Yuan True God did not pry and naturally failed to detect the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Now, with the Ancient Divine Palace outside, it could no longer be hidden.


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Li Yuan suddenly appeared, directly gathered the Ancient Divine Palace, then bowed slightly and said, ¡°Brother!¡±


    ¡°Successfully broke through to Demigod? It¡¯s good¡­ Hm? How come you¡¯re at level 46?¡± Jiang Yuan True God was immediately astonished.


    Just broken through to Demigod, and already level 46?

 Chapter 846: 437: The Transformation of Strength

    Chapter 846: Chapter 437: The Transformation of Strength


    Jiang Yuan True God himself possesses the Eight Star Veins, therefore, he knows the characteristics that manifest after their breakthrough.


    Normally, whether it is from stepping into Semi-Divine from Flying Heaven, or from Semi-Divine to the Void God Realm¡­ the Life Level would enhance from the 4th to the 5th Rank.


    Thus, in Jiang Yuan¡¯s estimation, Li Yuan should be at Rank 43 or Rank 44 right after his breakthrough.


    How did he reach Rank 46 so quickly?


    Even if he cultivated with Divine Crystals, or even some Exotic Treasures, his Life Level should not have evolved this quickly.


    ¡°Senior Brother.¡± Li Yuan had already thought of an excuse, not at all surprised that Jiang Yuan True God could discern the Virtual and Real status of his Life Level.


    The stronger one is, the stronger their Perception Ability.


    Li Yuan¡¯s techniques for concealing his aura have improved compared to the past. Most likely, only Pseudo-Gods could sense that he is a Semi-Divine¡­ Most True Gods can probably only guess that he is at the Semi-Divine Peak level, and it would be difficult to be more precise.


    But this certainly does not include Jiang Yuan True God, whose power rivals that of a Heavenly Divine?


    So, from the start, Li Yuan never intended to hide the truth from him: ¡°Senior Brother, over a month ago, the awakening of my Life Star almost reached its Limit, so I chose to break through to Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°In just over half a month, my Life Level completed an immediate Transformation to Rank 44, and my Soul Will also began to transform¡­ Especially the rapid Transformation of the soul.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, after my breakthrough, while cultivating Origin Power with Divine Crystals, I started to use more Jue Xing Divine Pills in hopes of awakening my Life Star¡­¡± Li Yuan respectfully said: ¡°In the end, I unknowingly managed to awaken the ninth Star Meridian.¡±


    This was the story Li Yuan had prepared.


    The Nine Star Pulse cannot be easily concealed.


    Whether it is the sensory techniques of Jiang Yuan True God or Tai You Heavenly God, or the fact that he would eventually cultivate to Rank 49.9¡­ none could be hidden. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, Li Yuan has altered the sequence of his awakening of the Nine Star Pulse and his breakthrough to Semi-Divine.


    The difference between the Nine Star Pulse at the Flying Heaven Stage and the Semi-Divine Nine Star Pulse is utterly distinct.


    The former is legendary within the vast Divine Realm.


    The latter has appeared on the Jue Xing Continent before, though extremely rare, but not inconceivable.


    ¡°What? Nine Star Pulse?¡± Jiang Yuan True God felt a shock, his expression subtly changing.


    Hu!


    Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s eyes faintly emitted divine light, observing Li Yuan carefully¡­ When Li Yuan was at the Flying Heaven Level before, it took him quite a while to confirm that Li Yuan possessed the Six Star Pulse.


    Now that Li Yuan has become Semi-Divine, it is even harder to discern.


    ¡°Hum~¡± With a thought, Li Yuan immediately activated the Nine Star Pulse within his body, and his body¡¯s surface instantly burst forth with layers of dazzling light.


    The nine Star Meridians interweave like beams of light, shining brilliantly.


    Seeing this sight, along with his own observations, Jiang Yuan True God no longer harbored any doubts.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse!¡±


    ¡°To actually awaken the Nine Star Pulse.¡± Jiang Yuan True God marveled, feeling quite delighted in his heart. He had invested a lot of Heart Power in Li Yuan, wishing that Li Yuan could Ascend to Heavenly God in the future.


    Nine Star Pulse!!


    At least in the known history of the Jue Xing Continent, all who awakened the Nine Star Pulse eventually became Heavenly Divine.


    To awaken the Nine Star Pulse suggests an astonishing talent in Law Comprehension and Soul Will, paired with a strong foundation¡­ It would be hard not to become a Heavenly God.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°What a pity.¡± Jiang Yuan True God suddenly sighed: ¡°You awakened the Nine Star Pulse right after becoming Semi-Divine¡­ which means you were already close to awakening it when you were at the Flying Heaven Stage. If you were originally at the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, perhaps you would have had a chance to reach Ten-Star Meridian as a Semi-Divine.¡±


    Up to this point, Jiang Yuan True God still believed Li Yuan was originally a Second Rank Seven Star Veins, who had awakened the Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven Stage.


    ¡°Senior Brother flatters me.¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°The difficulty of Second Rank Eight Star Veins¡­ I believe Senior Brother knows it better than I do.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, progressing from the Nine Star Pulse to the Ten Star Meridian is almost like ascending to the heavens. Even in our Divine Realm, the Ten-Star Meridian is a legend, never heard of anyone reaching that level.¡± Li Yuan said with emotion, casually stating ¡®our Divine Realm¡¯.


    Regarding this.


    Li Yuan once asked Liu Bing and Gu You ¡®whether the Divine Realm has ever given birth to a Ten-Star Meridian powerhouse,¡¯ and they both gave a definite answer ¡®yes.¡¯


    There has been one!


    But as to who it was? Neither Liu Bing nor Gu You could provide a clear answer, with no precise records.


    Li Yuan could only attribute it to the fact that the time when the last Ten-Star Meridian was born was too long ago for any precise names to be left in various records and legends.


    There is another possibility, that a Ten-Star Meridian Semi-Divine was too monstrously powerful¡­


    Not one major power would want to expose such an individual, hence no accurate information was leaked, and some well-known ¡®Nine-Star Vein Celestial Gods¡¯ throughout the history of the Divine Realm might have been Ten-Star Meridians in truth.


    ¡°The Ten-Star Meridian is indeed nearly impossible to achieve.¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded and then smiled: ¡°To become a Nine-Star Pulse is already extremely good! Extremely good.¡±


    Li Yuan becoming a Nine-Star Pulse had exceeded his expectations, so he did not ponder further.


    ¡°With more than six years until the Ancestral Realm War, you¡¯ll have enough time to cultivate to Rank 49.9.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°With such a strong foundation, it will be easy for you to break into the top hundred¡­ You even have the chance to seize the Ancestral Realm Order.¡±


    The number of Ancestral Realm Orders varies, sometimes only the top three can seize them, sometimes the top ten can.


    It also involves some luck.


    Thus, Jiang Yuan True God said that Li Yuan already has a certain possibility.


    ¡°I won¡¯t let Senior Brother down.¡± Li Yuan smiled, to break into the top hundred of the Ancestral Realm War?


    Only by breaking into the top ten and even the top three can one be absolutely sure.


    ¡°Right.¡±


    ¡°Now that you¡¯ve broken through to Semi-Divine, you¡¯ll have to participate in the Semi-Divine ranking battle in a little over a month.¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°This will be your first battle since becoming Semi-Divine¡­ According to the rules of Jue Xing Ancient City, just like when you first participated in the Flying Heaven trial battle, the reward will be ten times more than the future ranking battles.¡±

 Chapter 847: 437: The Transformation of Strength_2

    Chapter 847: Chapter 437: The Transformation of Strength_2


    ¡°The higher the ranking, the better the rewards will be.¡±


    ¡°In theory, there is hope to obtain rewards like True God Instruments, or even treasures like the Mirror of Laws,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°First rank battle with a tenfold reward?¡± Li Yuan was secretly astonished.


    It should be known that becoming the First Saint of Flying Heaven, he had already received 100,000 Divine Crystals as a reward, which was equivalent to the entire wealth and treasures of many Pseudo-God Middle Rank powerhouses.


    The rewards for the Semi-Divine rank battle are likely to be even higher.


    ¡°It¡¯s somewhat regrettable.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God couldn¡¯t help but smile and said, ¡°If you were to have your breakthrough after this rank battle and then partake in Concealed Cultivation for five more years¡­ I¡¯m afraid you could rank even higher on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°An earlier breakthrough, a Soul breakthrough and faster comprehension of the Mysteries of the Law,¡± said Li Yuan, ¡°The loss and gain of a single rank battle are secondary matters.¡±


    ¡°Haha, you do have a positive outlook,¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a smile and said, ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve grasped it well, come and find me again if there¡¯s a need.¡±


    ¡°I will take my leave now.¡±


    ¡°If you need guidance in cultivation from Piao Xia True God and others, just send a message to me,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    To Jiang Yuan True God, Li Yuan, having entered the Semi-Divine rank and, in one go, awakened the Nine Star Pulse, has already laid the best foundation, and his future is bound to be smooth sailing, with at most a few setbacks.


    Therefore, he would not interfere too much with Li Yuan¡¯s path of cultivation.


    Strong individuals must decide their own paths.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Li Yuan nodded.


    Immediately after, Jiang Yuan True God left, leaving Li Yuan alone in the void of the Trial Space.


    After a moment of contemplation.


    ¡°With only a little over a month left before the rank battle, it¡¯s not very realistic to improve either my Origin Power Cultivation or the realm of my Spear Technique,¡± Li Yuan mused silently; both required time to gradually refine.


    At present, if he wished to rapidly increase his strength.


    ¡°First, Star Techniques! I must quickly cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ to the Fourth Rank Limit, and next, the ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯,¡± Li Yuan silently said. ¡°Secondly, it¡¯s the Soul Attack secret technique.¡±


    Compared to other Semi-Divines, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Will is terrifying, and the Might of his Soul Attacks far surpasses that of other Semi-Divines¡­ Such powerful moves naturally need to be utilized.


    It¡¯s just that more than a year ago, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul had just entered the Pseudo-God level and had been busy contemplating Law Comprehension and awakening the Life Star¡­ He hadn¡¯t had the chance to cultivate the Soul Secret Technique.


    ¡°Once the Star Technique and the Soul Secret Technique make progress.¡±


    ¡°I should be able to give that group of Semi-Divine Reserve Members a surprise during the rank battle,¡± Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile.


    The rank battle is also a test.


    If one can¡¯t even win against the Semi-Divines of Jue Xing Ancient City, how could they hope to win in the battle of the Ancestral Realm?


    Hu!


    With a thought, Li Yuan returned to the Main Hall of the Ancient Divine Palace, and with a flip of his palm, the hall was filled with a dense array of Exotic Treasures.


    These were exactly what Li Yuan had Nine Sound Building help him purchase in the Yuan Country Capital for the cultivation of the Nine Layer Star Master.


    At that time, the treasures needed to cultivate the five Nine Layer Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank, only the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and the ¡®True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡¯ had been collected in full.


    Over these five years in Jue Xing Ancient City, Li Yuan has, through the ¡®Divine Fire Hall¡¯ channels and at the cost of over a thousand Fangshen Crystals, successively collected the other necessary treasures for ¡®Heaven and Earth River,¡¯ ¡®True Solution of the Sky Wind Star Vein,¡¯ and ¡®Myriad Shadows Void.¡¯


    After all, Divine Fire Hall is the foremost great power¡¯s place for nurturing talents in this world, and the channels for purchasing treasures far exceed those of Nine Sound Building. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And with Li Yuan now at level 46.8, his body¡¯s capacity was strong enough.


    Therefore, for Li Yuan.


    Given enough time, he could successively cultivate the five Nine Layer Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank extreme.


    ¡°The ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ and ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯ contribute the most to increasing strength,¡± with this thought, Li Yuan already started operating the many Mysteries of the ¡®All Things Divine Body.¡¯


    Rumbling!


    Li Yuan¡¯s body shone with light immediately, a Star Meridian revealing overwhelming sharpness, with endless Might, began voraciously absorbing the essences from the various Exotic Treasures.


    ¡°Hu!¡±


    Li Yuan calmed his heart, his powerful Soul Consciousness stirring the fluctuations of the Law of Earth and the Mysteries of Space, gradually condensing the ¡®Fourth Rank Perfect Star Vein¡¯ on the Life Star of that Perfect Star Vein.


    ¡°If an ordinary Semi-Divine were to cultivate the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, even with ample treasures, it would probably take years,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself, ¡°But my Soul and Law Comprehension are very advanced, which can greatly save time.¡±


    To cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique is like building a house.


    If materials are sufficient, the construction still requires good craftsmanship to build the house quickly and well.


    As time passed.


    The essence of Exotic Treasures worth nearly two thousand Fangshen Crystals kept depleting, merging into Li Yuan¡¯s body, making his body shine with dazzling light and his aura increasingly majestic.


    Gu You watched this scene quietly by his side.


    ¡°Father,¡±


    ¡°At the Fourth Rank of All Things Divine Body, Li Yuan is becoming more and more like you,¡± Gu You looked at Li Yuan cultivating this Star Technique, a complicated look flickering in his eyes.


    In those days, Ancient Torch Divine, who dominated in all directions, primarily relied on the ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯ as his battle Star Technique, with a body like a Divine Artifact, and was extremely fierce.


    ¡°Father! It is fast approaching,¡± Gu You silently thought, ¡°With the rate of Li Yuan¡¯s strength improvement, he¡¯s likely to overcome your Fifth Layer trial at the Semi-Divine stage.¡±


    Ancient Torch Divine left behind five trials, only to be inherited by Direct Disciples who passed them all could they obtain the ultimate treasure he left behind.


    However, Ancient Torch Divine never dared to expect that such an exceptional genius would enter the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡­


    ¡°The Pseudo-God Level Secret Technique ¡®Soul Thought¡¯,¡± Li Yuan, while cultivating the Nine Layer Star Technique, also dedicated a large amount of Heart Power to cultivate the Soul Secret Technique within the Spiritual World.


    ¡°Burning Heart Blade¡± and ¡°Mind Soul¡± were the two main Soul Secret Techniques that Li Yuan was cultivating.

 Chapter 848: 437: The Transformation of Strength_3

    Chapter 848: Chapter 437: The Transformation of Strength_3


    All are direct routes to the True God Peak level, quite mysterious.


    Even though Li Yuan now has more powerful Soul Secret Techniques, starting from scratch, it is naturally not as easy as using these two Soul Secret Techniques.


    ¡°Burning Heart Blade¡± tends towards soul annihilation and is overly domineering, also the rank placement battle is just a cutting test, not very convenient to use.¡± Li Yuan muttered to himself, ¡°Moreover, the method I¡¯m practicing, ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯, serves to refine the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, constructing illusions.¡±


    ¡°Still, using ¡®Six Realisms of Illusion¡¯ as the foundation makes the Pseudo-God level moves of ¡®Mind Soul¡¯ easier.¡± Li Yuan deeply researched.


    After stepping into the Pseudo-God level, the soul becomes more powerful, studying the Path of Souls becomes naturally easier, also making many Soul Secret Techniques increasingly profound.


    ¡°Soul, anchored in the void! So-called Soul Secret Techniques cannot escape from the Mysteries of the Law, especially the Space Law.¡±


    ¡°My understanding direction of the Mysteries of Space, among them I have the ¡®World Direction¡¯, adept in constructing domain worlds.¡±


    ¡°Illusions, stir the desires within people.¡± Li Yuan felt that practicing the ¡°Mind Soul¡± secret technique was incredibly easy, swiftly solving one challenge after another.


    Many difficulties that even Pseudo-Gods struggle to break through in months or even years, Li Yuan could fully comprehend in just a few days.


    This is the advantage of having a strong foundation.


    In terms of Soul Will, in terms of comprehension of Space Law, Li Yuan belongs to the top among Pseudo-Gods¡­ and in addition to the refinement by ¡°Six Realms of Illusion,¡± his speed in practicing Soul Secret Techniques is destined to be terrifying.


    In some sense.


    Unknowingly, Li Yuan has become a peerless genius in practicing the Path of Souls.


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Ancient City, inside the city, the residence of Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡°City Lord.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan has awakened the Nine Star Pulse,¡± Jiang Yuan True God directly said.


    He knew that sooner or later Tai You Heavenly God would notice this, since the opponent manages the Inheritance Divine Artifacts, the Perception Ability is too terrifying.


    Therefore, Jiang Yuan True God simply told him directly.


    ¡°Nine Star Pulse?¡± Even the Tai You True God, said to be the strongest in this world, was somewhat shocked and spoke in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God quickly described what he knew.


    ¡°Broke through to become a Semi-Divine and awakened the Nine Star Pulse?¡± A trace of surprise flashed in Tai You Heavenly God¡¯s eyes.


    Is that a coincidence?


    He pondered for a moment.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, share your thoughts,¡± Tai You Heavenly God slowly said, ¡°I think you should know Xu Yuan¡¯s details¡­ he is not a native life of our world, therefore, I will not bestow upon him some of the deepest essences of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°This is my duty as the City Lord.¡±


    ¡°I understand.¡± Jiang Yuan True God was not surprised that Tai You Heavenly God already knew this.


    Initially, when he reported the news to Li Yuan, he had indirectly indicated that he did not plan to hide the information forever.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, comes from the Divine Realm¡¯s Chaos Divine Court,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, ¡°He poses no harm to Jue Xing Ancient City, I only hope, in the coming years, the City Lord will offer him some protection.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God was very clear, once Xu Yuan¡¯s ¡®Nine Star Pulse¡¯ identity is revealed, he would immediately become a thorn in the side of all the powers in this world.


    They would not believe the excuse ¡®Xu Yuan is not a core of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯.


    Once that situation arises, Jiang Yuan True God did not have absolute confidence in protecting Xu Yuan.


    Therefore, he came to see Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡°Chaos Divine Court?¡± Tai You Heavenly God paused, seemingly recalling many things, ¡°Are you sure? Similar to those previous ones?¡±


    Obviously, there have been more than one Chaos Divine Court powerhouses that appeared in this world.


    ¡°Positive.¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded, ¡°He has made a Law Oath.¡±


    ¡°City Lord.¡±


    ¡°The passage in the Ancestral Realm cannot be closed, and Divine Realm powerhouses continue to descend¡­ All signs indicate that it may not be long before our world returns to the Divine Realm,¡± Jiang Yuan True God seriously said, ¡°Perhaps not in our generation, but we also need to plan for the future.¡±


    ¡°If we can form a deep friendship with Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°With Xu Yuan¡¯s talent, in the future upon returning to the Divine Realm, becoming a Heavenly God is almost certain¡­ and he might even have a slight chance to achieve legend.¡±


    ¡°Once we reach that step, it will be a blessing for Jue Xing Ancient City, leaving a legacy for thousands of years,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    Tai You Heavenly God fell into deep thought.


    How could he not know of Xu Yuan¡¯s talents? Merely ¡®Nine Star Pulse at the age of thirty-five¡¯ is enough to shock the present age.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°I give you a promise, I will do my utmost to protect him,¡± whispered Tai You Heavenly God: ¡°As long as he poses no threat to Jue Xing Ancient City, he will always be a member of Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, City Lord,¡± Jiang Yuan True God revealed a smile.


    Being forever a member of Jue Xing Ancient City, that was the highest promise from Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡­


    Jiang Yuan True God and Tai You Heavenly God¡¯s conversation, naturally, Li Yuan would not know.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month passed!


    Inside the Ancient Divine Palace.


    ¡°Boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s body suddenly burst out with dazzling light, followed by his body swelling up abruptly to a hundred meters tall, his life breath instantly skyrocketed to a terrifying degree.


    ¡°Fourth Rank¡± All Things Divine Body¡± is completely perfected,¡± Li Yuan revealed a joyful expression.


    Boom! Boom!


    Li Yuan swung his palms casually, the explosive force severely compressed the air, instantly causing the entire hall¡¯s space to roar and burst, stirring up a massive fluctuation.


    ¡°The strength, now close to many Level 50 Pseudo-Gods deploying Seven Layer Body Refining Star Technique,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Haha, good! good! good!¡±


    Pseudo-God Powerhouses, the vast majority have awakened Six Star Pulse, it¡¯s standard to cultivate Seven Layer Body Refining Star Technique.


    Thus, a Level 47 Demigod using Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique, usually can match a normal Level 50 Pseudo-God after the explosive release.


    This is also why people like Jiang Shan possess the strength of Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    There¡¯s no other reason, just fundamentally strong.


    ¡°Brother, you have just recently broken through to Demigod not long ago, wait until the Origin Power cultivation reaches the peak of Demigod, then deploying ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, you would be able to rival many Level 52 Pseudo-Gods in strength,¡± said Gu You: ¡°If you further stack and deploy other combat Nine Layer Star Techniques¡­ by then, in terms of pure strength level, you¡¯re probably close to the peak level of Pseudo-God.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.


    People like Jing Kui, Dongfang Alliance Leader, these Eight Star Vein Demigods, when fully unleashed, would normally match a Level 51 Pseudo-God, at most up to Level 52.


    But himself, having Nine Star Pulse and each Star Technique being extremely terrifying, is destined to far surpass any Demigod on a fundamental level.


    ¡°Continue.¡± S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Cultivate ¡®Heaven and Earth River¡¯.¡± Li Yuan calmed down, continuing to cultivate the second Nine Layer Star Technique.


    Cultivating Heaven and Earth River, the demands for the Law of Earth are quite high, but this poses no hurdles for Li Yuan.


    This is also why people like Jiang Shan possess the strength of Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    There¡¯s no other reason, just fundamentally strong.


    ¡°Brother, you have just recently broken through to Demigod not long ago, wait until the Origin Power cultivation reaches the peak of Demigod, then deploying ¡®All Things Divine Body¡¯, you would be able to rival many Level 52 Pseudo-Gods in strength,¡± said Gu You: ¡°If you further stack and deploy other combat Nine Layer Star Techniques¡­ by then, in terms of pure strength level, you¡¯re probably close to the peak level of Pseudo-God.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

 Chapter 849: 438: Ranking Battle

    Chapter 849: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle


    The Divine Fire Hall was incomparably vast, with over nine thousand at Semi Divine Level and more than a hundred each at Flying Heaven Level as reserve members, broadly divided into two camps, yet it did not feel crowded.


    The gathering place for Flying Heaven Level members, compared with five years ago, had significantly decreased in number, with only about one hundred and twenty remaining.


    ¡°Many people have broken through.¡±


    ¡°Even Qi Xia and Pang Ting, the two Saint Heirs, broke through several years ago.¡±


    ¡°Their breakthrough is normal; they have been cultivating in Jue Xing Ancient City for over twenty years, it¡¯s about time for them to break through.¡± various Flying Heaven Level members talked among themselves.


    This had already become a common practice.


    Firstly, the lifespan of those at Semi Divine Flying Heaven is limited, cultivating at Semi Divine Level advances much faster, hence it is not advisable to delay too long at Flying Heaven Level.


    Secondly, Jue Xing Ancient City provides many auxiliary cultivation treasures like Chiling Liuhuo Liquid, available for a maximum of 25 years, and the number of trial tasks that Flying Heaven Level can undertake also has a limit.


    For many reasons, Flying Heaven Level reserve members usually only cultivate in Jue Xing Ancient City for 20-30 years before successively becoming Semi Divine.


    ¡°Two Saint Heir positions are now vacant! This is our chance!¡±


    ¡°Yes, the First Saint Heir definitely has no chance, that¡¯s destined for Xu Yuan, but the second and third Saint Heirs, we¡¯ll have to fight for it.¡± some of the stronger Flying Heaven Level members all held this desire.


    The First Saint Heir? They dared not even think about it.


    But if they could successfully challenge for a Saint Heir position, even just for the second or third, they could still obtain a vast amount of cultivation resources. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Do you think Xu Yuan will break through to Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±


    ¡°I saw him half a year ago; he was still at Flying Heaven.¡±


    ¡°He is just over thirty years old, so young, probably needs another twenty years¡­ Xu Yuan is here! Wait, he has become Semi-Divine.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan actually became Semi-Divine?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan is here.¡± Not just those hundred plus Flying Heaven realms, but also the nine thousand plus Semi Divines quickly turned their gaze to the black-robed figure flying into the hall.


    His aura was robust, clearly having become Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, became Semi-Divine?¡± The Vice Hall Master ¡®Moon Ji True God¡¯ also paused upon seeing Li Yuan for the first time.


    Moon Yi True God knew Li Yuan held a special status, not comparable to ordinary Flying Heaven Saint Heirs.


    But his reaction was also very quick, transmitting directly: ¡°Xu Yuan, since you have ascended to Semi-Divine, wait by Yue Shan¡¯s side.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Li Yuan responded and directly flew towards the front of the Semi-Divine group.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan.¡± Many Semi-Divines also transmitted to Li Yuan, most of them from Abyss Country¡­ after all, Li Yuan had spent most of the past five years cultivating alone, rarely making connections with Semi-Divines from other countries.


    ¡°Jiang Shan.¡±


    ¡°Brother Bai Li, keep fighting.¡±


    ¡°Brother Beihong.¡± Li Yuan nodded in response to each greeting.


    Even when Wu Beihong greeted him, Li Yuan didn¡¯t show a cold face, since the other party only had issues with Jiang Shan and had not offended Li Yuan directly.


    In the end, Li Yuan reached the front of the Semi-Divine group, looking around, most of the gathered here were geniuses ranked high on the Semi-Divine List, including those dozen or so Saint Heirs, all present here.


    Strength determined one¡¯s position.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    The burly Yue Shan strode over, his face showing disbelief: ¡°How did you manage to break through so quickly? You completely could have waited until after the ranking battle to break through.¡±


    ¡°I felt I could break through, so I did.¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Didn¡¯t want to delay too long.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s different! If you had broken through to Semi-Divine after the battle, you would still enjoy the Saint Heir treatment.¡± Yue Shan couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°But now that you are Semi-Divine, you must meet the ¡®Saint Heir requirements¡¯ in the ranking battle, otherwise you will immediately lose the Saint Heir treatment.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    This was the rule of the Divine Fire Hall, hence, the vast majority of Flying Heaven Saint Heirs, after becoming Semi-Divine, would lose their Saint Heir status¡­ and even ultimately be unable to regain it.


    After all, the competition for Semi-Divine Saint Heirs is much more intense than that for Flying Heaven Saint Heirs.


    ¡°You know and still did this?¡± Yue Shan said helplessly: ¡°If you had cultivated for another five years and then fought, your chances would definitely have been much greater, at least your Origin Power Cultivation could have reached level 47 or higher¡­ The rewards for your first participation in the Semi-Divine ranking battle are the most astonishing.¡±


    Yue Shan felt somewhat regretful.


    In Yue Shan¡¯s view, even though Li Yuan had exceptional talent, it was impossible to catch up with the efforts of other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs over hundreds of years so quickly¡­ Not to mention other aspects, just the Origin Power Cultivation alone would be much lower.


    After all, even with Eight Star Veins, one typically only reaches level 44 upon initial breakthrough.


    What about the Semi-Divine reserve members present? Almost half had already awakened Seven Star Veins.


    ¡°Brother Yue Shan, don¡¯t worry, my ranking shouldn¡¯t be too bad.¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    He knew Yue Shan cared about him.


    ¡°Not too bad? Even if you manage to break into the top three hundred, the difference from a Semi-Divine Saint Heir¡¯s treatment would still be vast, not to mention you just broke through, how tough it is to break into the top three hundred¡­¡±

 Chapter 850: 438: Ranking Battle_2

    Chapter 850: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_2


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help frowning, as he seemingly had not offended the other party.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, don¡¯t take his words too seriously, he is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Guanming True God, and also one of the leaders in the Divine Fire Hall in the Guanming Divine Country,¡± Yue Shan, the Semi-Divine, conveyed: ¡°He had numerous frictions with the powerhouses of our Abyss Country during previous trial missions.¡±


    Li Yuan immediately understood the reason.


    Guanming True God is also the king of one of the eighteen core Divine Kingdoms under the Jue Xing Ancient City, and an extremely strong presence amongst True Gods¡­ Guanming True God and Jiang Yuan True God have conflicts.


    This is not a secret in Jue Xing Ancient City.


    As Li Yuan was newly arrived in Jue Xing Ancient City, he was already aware of the conflicts between the two major Divine Kingdoms during his first gathering with Yue Shan, Yang Di, and others.


    Where there are people, there are conflicts of interest, even within the same faction.


    The conflicts between the two True Gods have not reached a life-or-death situation, but they directly affect the attitudes of many powerhouses under their command.


    The lineage of Abyss Country, the lineage of Guanming Divine Country, have always been in conflict.


    Even if Jiang Yuan True God¡¯s power bursts forth, now comparable to a Heavenly Divine, it doesn¡¯t mean that the powerhouses of Guanming Divine Country¡¯s lineage would bow down before the powerhouses of Abyss Country.


    ¡°Resources are limited, and for the competition at the lower and middle levels, the upper echelons probably adopt a tacit approval attitude,¡± Li Yuan pondered silently: ¡°With the temperament of Brother Jiang Yuan and his status, he would certainly not bother with these matters.¡±


    Thinking of this.


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng seems to think that I can¡¯t make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?¡± Li Yuan suddenly smiled and said: ¡°What if I do make it into the top hundred?¡±


    Wow!


    With these words, the surrounding hundreds of Semi-Divines couldn¡¯t help but look towards Xu Yuan.


    ¡°Top hundred of the Semi-Divine List? I haven¡¯t heard about that.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan just became a Semi-Divine, and he wants to break into the top hundred?¡±


    ¡°Even Jing Kui wasn¡¯t this arrogant back in his day, this Xu Yuan is a bit too confident.¡±


    ¡°Even if his talent is extremely high, he¡¯s just had his breakthrough, and the cultivation time is short.¡± These powerful Semi-Divines couldn¡¯t help but convey messages to each other.


    Which Semi-Divine present doesn¡¯t want to smash into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?


    Right!


    Xu Yuan¡¯s name as a peerless genius has long been spread far and wide, and not many would doubt it.


    But to make these powerful Semi-Divines believe that Li Yuan had the strength to be in the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List right after his breakthrough?


    Barely anyone believes that.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, be cautious with your words,¡± Yue Shan, the Semi-Divine¡¯s face also changed, continually transmitting the message: ¡°The top hundred of the Semi-Divine List isn¡¯t so easy to enter.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the golden-armored youngster Bai Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh, smiling at Xu Yuan: ¡°Xu Yuan brother, confidence is good, but too much arrogance is not, you have extremely high talent, but of those ranked in the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, which one of them is weak in talent?¡±


    ¡°It was just six months ago you were still at Flying Heaven, your Origin Power Cultivation probably only reached level 44,¡± the golden-armored youngster shook his head: ¡°Entering the top thousand would be tough.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s aura was extremely restrained, making it very difficult for the present Semi-Divines to determine his Life Level.


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, I advise you to keep a low profile in this ranking battle,¡± the golden-armored youngster said casually.


    His words seemedobjective, but in reality, he was suggesting that Li Yuan lacks self-awareness.


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng, then let¡¯s make a bet,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals, betting on whether I can make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List or not. How about that?¡±


    Boom! S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This remark not only drew the attention of the surrounding hundreds of Semi-Divines but attracted even more Semi-Divines to look over.


    ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals?¡±


    ¡°All of my total wealth is not even twenty thousand Fangshen Crystals, truly a Saint Heir! So generous.¡±


    ¡°Haha! Bring on the fight!¡±


    ¡°I wonder if Bai Feng dares to take the bet.¡± Many Semi-Divines were happy to watch the excitement.


    Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals?


    Not to mention that the majority of the Semi-Divine Level members only have the strength of Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, even a Semi-Divine genius like Yang Di cannot ignore such a sum of wealth.


    The expression on Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine, also changed slightly.


    He wasn¡¯t concerned about the ten thousand Fangshen Crystals, for him, being a Saint Heir, it wasn¡¯t hard to produce.


    However, the key was Li Yuan¡¯s attitude, which he couldn¡¯t fathom.


    For a moment, Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine, did not respond.


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng, you just said that me breaking into the top thousand of the Semi-Divine List would even be difficult,¡± Li Yuan smiled: ¡°Could it be that you, a grand Semi-Divine Saint Heir, do not even have that much courage? Not even ten thousand Fangshen Crystals to offer?¡±


    A sharp gleam flashed through the eyes of Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine.


    If he didn¡¯t agree, even if Li Yuan ultimately didn¡¯t make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, it would be him losing face.


    Moreover, deep down he simply did not believe Li Yuan could break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List so swiftly.


    ¡°Since Brother Xu Yuan shows such courage, I¡¯ll take up the bet with Brother Xu Yuan,¡± Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine spoke coldly: ¡°If Xu Yuan brother can break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, creating yet another miracle in the Divine Fire Hall, I shall celebrate it with ¡®ten thousand Fangshen Crystals¡¯.¡±


    ¡°But what if Xu Yuan brother doesn¡¯t make it into the top hundred?¡± Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine stared at Li Yuan.


    ¡°I shall bring out ten thousand Fangshen Crystals and apologize to Brother Bai Feng,¡± Li Yuan smiled.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal,¡± Bai Feng, the Semi-Divine spoke gravely.


    No Law oath was taken between the two.


    Under the watchful eyes of all, with their statuses and identities, neither side could possibly renege on ten thousand Fangshen Crystals.


    Throughout, the Heavenly Wing True God present on the high platform did not intervene¡­ To the higher-ups, as long as the competition among the talents of the Divine Fire Hall didn¡¯t involve a life or death situation, the fiercer the better.


    Competition brings greater effort.


    The news of this bet quickly spread throughout the Divine Fire Hall, known to all reserve members.


    ¡°They really made the bet?¡±


    ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals! A Saint Heir indeed has money.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, are you really confident in making it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List? Initiating a bet, are you that confident?¡±


    ¡°Who knows?¡±


    ¡°Even after another ten years, bringing his Origin Power Cultivation to the limit, and strengthening his Law Comprehension, with Xu Yuan¡¯s talent, there is a chance to break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, but he¡¯s only been cultivating for so short a time?¡±

 Chapter 851: 438: Ranking Battle_3

    Chapter 851: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_3


    ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s much hope.¡± Nearly ten thousand reserve members communicated discreetly with each other.


    The vast majority of reserve members did not have a good opinion about Li Yuan.


    ¡­


    Li Yuan, Yue Shan, and Yang Di had gathered together, exchanging messages with each other.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, are you really confident?¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine communicated through a message.


    He knew that losing ten thousand Fangshen Crystals wasn¡¯t much for Li Yuan, but the key was the embarrassment of losing.


    ¡°No confidence.¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    ¡°This!¡± Yang Di Semi-Divine was a bit anxious, feeling that Li Yuan was being impulsive.


    ¡°But having been stepped on, I cannot bow my head,¡± Li Yuan said smiling through a message: ¡°Breaking into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List, I¡¯m not sure, but it¡¯s not entirely hopeless.¡±


    Yue Shan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°When the ranking battle is over, we will naturally know the result,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, then we shall wait and see,¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine said laughing, as he didn¡¯t interact much with Li Yuan.


    But in his opinion, since Li Yuan said so, he presumably had some confidence.


    ¡°Top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?¡± Li Yuan also pondered in his heart.


    Speaking of Material Attack only, he did not have absolute confidence to break into the top hundred, but adding Soul Attack, the situation would definitely be different¡­ However, he wasn¡¯t sure how effective the Soul Attack would be on these powerful semi-divines.


    ¡°When the battle begins, I will naturally find out,¡± Li Yuan felt calm in his heart: ¡°Just do my best.¡±


    As for the wager?


    Even if he lost, Li Yuan wouldn¡¯t truly care.


    After experiencing the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ time after time, his inner will grew stronger and stronger, clarity of mind and nature, joy and anger are all from within, only the surface reflects his emotions.


    As time passed, the last few Flying Heaven Semi-Divine arrived.


    Hu!


    A figure in a black robe suddenly flew into the temple entrance, immediately quieting the hall considerably with at least a thousand semi-divines turning their gaze towards that black-robed figure.


    His aura seemed ordinary and his expression indifferent. At first glance, he appeared very ordinary, yet he emitted a mysteriously captivating aura.


    The black-robed young man directly flew to the very front of the lines.


    ¡°Jing Kui.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui has returned.¡±


    ¡°Last time I saw him was five years ago, always rushing back for a ranking battle.¡±


    ¡°He might be the first again, last time he was very close to overcoming the sixth level, if he can break through this time, it means he might be at the peak of Pseudo-Gods,¡± various discussions arose.


    Like the second-ranked He Feng Semi-Divine, third-ranked Dong Pan Semi-Divine, and others like Yue Shan, Bai Feng.


    Previously, these exceptional semi-divines who held the title of Saint Heir, each were very arrogant, seemingly not acknowledging each other.


    But when Jing Kui entered the hall, they all quieted down, just silently watching.


    ¡°Jing Kui.¡± Li Yuan also looked towards that not unfamiliar black-robed figure.


    For some reason, Li Yuan felt the other¡¯s aura was somewhat different from the last time they met.


    The first semi-divine of Jue Xing Ancient City in this generation.


    In this world, he is also one of the most exceptional semi-divines of the generation!


    According to the information obtained by Li Yuan over the last five years, ever since Jing Kui defeated Dong Pan Semi-Divine thirty years ago to become number one on the Semi-Divine List, no one has been able to shake his position in the Divine Fire Hall.


    By age, Jing Kui is actually among the younger ones in the semi-divines of the Divine Fire Hall¡­ this is also the reason why his position is so high.


    Before Li Yuan, Jing Kui was the only Seventh Rank semi-divine.


    Like He Feng Semi-Divine, Dong Pan Semi-Divine, who have practiced for over four hundred years.


    Hu!


    Jing Kui directly descended, standing at the very front of the lineup, and over that, no one disputed.


    The first person should be like this.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡± Suddenly Jing Kui turned his head towards Li Yuan, showing a hint of a smile: ¡°Long time no see.¡±


    ¡°Long time no see,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile.


    This scene also surprised many semi-divines; Jing Kui and Xu Yuan knew each other.


    Suddenly, a voice rang out in Li Yuan¡¯s mind: ¡°It¡¯s been five years since we last met at Nine Sounds Divine Mountain, congratulations on becoming a semi-divine¡­ Your Soul Will seems to have grown much stronger, I feel it¡¯s not inferior to mine from the ethereal sense.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve grown stronger too,¡± Li Yuan said smiling through the message.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Jing Kui didn¡¯t say much.


    But as time passed, as just time passed, he also became aware of the wager between Li Yuan and Bai Feng.


    ¡°Ten thousand Fangshen Crystals? Interesting,¡± a slight smile appeared on Jing Kui¡¯s lips.


    He was also a bit curious.


    Xu Yuan, really able to break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List?


    Suddenly¡ª


    Whoom¡ªan invisible oppressive force enveloped all directions, instantly silencing the entire hall as nearly ten thousand Flying Heaven Semi-divines instantly went silent.


    Hu!


    High above on the platform, the originally empty space began rippling, followed by a fierce figure in red armor appearing, radiating an incredibly destructive aura, like a scorched mini-sun.


    Chi Yang True God!


    Followed by, several strong figures appeared, standing together with Moon Wing True God, specifically the other Vice Hall Masters.


    The ranking battle is a day to inspect the achievements of Divine Fire Hall members, thus these high-level leaders naturally took it seriously.


    After all, the Ancestral Realm battle happening in six years is a ¡®big test,¡¯ and as time approached, these True Gods also hope to see more impressive semi-divines emerging.


    ¡°Not many, most arrived on time,¡± the voice of Chi Yang True God, indifferent, thunderously resounded: ¡°Since many are attending the ranking battle for the first time, let me repeat the rules once more.¡±


    ¡°Flying Heaven ranking battle, a series of reincarnation duels, each victory adds 1 point, no points deducted for a loss¡­ The final points standing will be the final ranking, deciding the amount of resources for the next five years.¡±


    ¡°Semi-Divine ranking battle, due to the large number of participants, it¡¯s divided into two major stages.¡±


    ¡°The first stage, break through Divine Fire building, defeat ¡®Divine Fire Warriors¡¯, the more you defeat, the higher the points¡­ Rankings for those after the first thousand are determined by the points.¡±

    Chapter 852: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_4


    ¡°The top one thousand in the final ranking will enter the second phase, subsequently bifurcated into the top three hundred, the top one hundred, the Saint Heir spot, and the first position.¡± Chi Yang True God¡¯s voice thundered: ¡°Is everyone clear on this?¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡± Nearly ten thousand people in the Divine Fire Hall, under this intangible oppression, unanimously responded, even those with a strong Soul Will like Li Yuan and Jing Kui.


    The gap between a Demigod and the Peak of a True God is indeed astonishingly wide, almost insurmountable.


    ¡°Very well.¡±


    ¡°Let us begin with the Demigod ranking battles.¡± Chi Yang True God spoke solemnly: ¡°In order, batches of one thousand will enter, the first batch being ranks 1-1000, prepare to enter.¡±


    Whoosh! Chi Yang True God waved his hand.


    ¡°Thunderous roar~¡±


    In the void above the Temple, a space vortex over a kilometer in diameter quickly appeared, flowing faintly with vast flame currents, unfathomably deep, leading to an unknown realm.


    ¡°Is this the entrance to the Divine Fire Tower?¡± Li Yuan looked curiously, he knew about the rules of the ranking battles but had not seen actual combat images.


    At that moment.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Jing Kui, He Feng, Dong Pan, Yue Shan and many other Demigods soared into the space vortex.


    In the blink of an eye, a thousand Demigods vanished within the flame currents¡­


    Rustle~


    In the vast space vortex on the other side of the void, a huge screen reappeared, now directly showing over nine thousand names, including Li Yuan¡¯s.


    For newer Demigods like Li Yuan, Qi Xia, who hadn¡¯t participated in ranking battles before, their treatment was as per the Flying Heaven Level, but their ranks were based on breakthrough times.


    Li Yuan, naturally, was at the very end of the list, ranked ¡®9373¡¯.


    ¡°The challenge has started.¡±


    ¡°Points have appeared, everyone has started their challenge in the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    ¡°Look, Jing Kui¡¯s points are soaring rapidly.¡± Everyone looked up at the names on the huge screen.


    The points numbers behind the foremost one thousand names were flashing continuously.


    Following the changes in points, their names were also continuously changing.


    ¡°1314 points!¡±


    ¡°1460 points!¡±


    ¡°1588 points!¡±


    ¡°Ferocious, Jing Kui is too ferocious, gaining over a hundred points per second? Could it be that he slaughters over a hundred Divine Fire Warriors per second?¡± Thousands of Demigods in the hall were stunned.


    To know, like Yue Shan, Dong Pan, Bai Feng, other Demigod Saint Heirs, their points had just surpassed eight hundred, whereas Jing Kui¡¯s points had already soared close to two thousand¡­ this clearly indicates that Jing Kui¡¯s strength seemed to have created a massive gap from other Saint Heirs.


    ¡°It¡¯s over three thousand now! 3023 points, Jing Kui has already broken into the fourth floor of the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    ¡°This speed is too fast.¡± Many Demigods trembled with awe.


    Jing Kui¡¯s strength was well-recognized; in the last ranking battle, he broke into the sixth floor of the Divine Fire Tower, ultimately accumulating over 5800 points¡­ but his speed today was far beyond prior.


    However.


    The images from the Divine Fire Tower were not leaked, thus, no one knew what methods Jing Kui used.


    Li Yuan kept his gaze fixed on the fluctuating points on the screen.


    ¡°Based on the intelligence I gathered.¡±


    ¡°Passing the first floor represents having the strength of a Level 50 Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself: ¡°Passing the second floor represents having Level 51 strength.¡±


    ¡°And so on.¡±


    ¡°If one can completely pass through the six floors, that represents having the strength of Level 55 Pseudo-God, marking the baseline of the Peak of Pseudo-God.¡± Li Yuan held his breath: ¡°Jing Kui, how far can you go?¡±


    For a Demigod, it is extremely difficult to unleash the strength of the Peak of Pseudo-God, as it requires astounding Law Comprehension.


    Time passes.


    On that giant screen, after surpassing 5000 points, Jing Kui¡¯s points update gradually slowed down, signaling that his killing speed was also sharply reducing, clearly indicating the increasing difficulty of the sixth floor, yet this killing speed was still far ahead of other Demigod geniuses.


    Until this point, the second ranked ¡®Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯ had just broken through 4000 points.


    ¡°5800 points.¡±


    ¡°5850 points.¡±


    ¡°5900 points!! Just a little more, just need to defeat the last hundred Divine Fire Warriors.¡±


    ¡°5932 points!¡±


    ¡°5966 points!¡±


    At this moment, not only the Demigods in the hall.


    Even the Chi Yang True God, Moon Wing True God and others on the high platform felt a bit of nervousness, harboring a bit of anticipation in their hearts.


    But, can it be achieved?


    ¡°The points are stuck.¡±


    ¡°Stuck at 5988 points.¡±


    ¡°Could Jing Kui be about to fail?¡± All the Flying Heaven Demigods could only stare at the points on the screen.


    Only the seven True Gods on the high platform, having sufficient authority, were able to sense the battle scenario inside the Divine Fire Tower.


    ¡°Only twelve Divine Fire Warriors remain.¡±


    ¡°They will converge into Unity! Representing the ultimate test of the sixth floor of the Divine Fire Tower, one must defeat the strongest Divine Fire Warrior to enter the seventh floor.¡± the six True Gods watched intently.


    If Jing Kui could break into the seventh floor, that would be a whole new realm, an absolutely joyous event.


    ¡°He¡¯s being suppressed, is he going to lose?¡±


    ¡°No, wait.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s erupted! Jing Kui has erupted, his Swordsmanship! Impressive Swordsmanship, the integration of Thunder Law and Space Law¡­ the Might could actually soar to such extents?¡± All six True Gods were astonished.


    They never expected.


    After displaying formidable strength earlier, Jing Kui still had hidden lethal moves. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Deserving of being a young genius that even Tai You Heavenly God values highly.


    In the Divine Fire Tower.


    Jing Kui, wielding the Divine Sword, was shrouded in endless thunder, each thrust of his sword was like thunder descending from the heavens, exceedingly fast, and the might of the swordsmanship was also refined to the extreme.


    Resembling the incarnation of thunder.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± The hundred-meter tall Divine Fire Warrior was roaring angrily, his strength extremely formidable, each of his stomps powerful enough to shake the void, every punch he threw could smash countless thunders.

 Chapter 853: 438: Ranking Battle_5

    Chapter 853: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_5


    Break strength with power!


    However, even the strongest Divine Fire Warrior, no matter how ferocious his attack, could hardly touch Jing Kui¡¯s body¡­ His swordsmanship was like thunder and lightning.


    His movement technique was as swift as lightning, flickering in the shaking void, making it impossible for anyone to predict his trajectory.


    ¡°Tss!¡±


    Sword lights whistled through the air, precisely striking the body of the Divine Fire Warrior, with every thrust inflicting injury.


    As the sword strikes accumulated, the Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s injuries worsened.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to end this.¡±


    Jing Kui¡¯s gaze was ice-cold. He suddenly lunged forward with another thrust, like a bolt of lightning following a freshly torn wound, instantly striking the Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s body, where the dreadful might fully erupted.


    Like the final straw breaking the camel¡¯s back.


    ¡°Boom~¡±


    This thrust directly struck the core of the Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s body, causing his massive figure to disperse and vanish.


    ¡°Won!¡±


    ¡°The seventh layer!¡± Jing Kui, full of high-spirited elegance, took a brief rest before breaking into the seventh layer.


    The difficulty of the seventh layer soared once again.


    After slaying over a hundred Divine Fire Warriors, Jing Kui was besieged by an overwhelming number of Divine Fire Warriors, and the layer of flame light on the surface of his body continuously faded¡­ The moment it completely disappeared, he vanished from the seventh layer.


    Defeated!


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Hall, as Jing Kui¡¯s Points froze, his name dimmed slightly.


    Whew!


    Jing Kui fell from the massive space vortex, landing directly on the ground and immediately closed his eyes to recuperate.


    The fierce battle had also greatly depleted him.


    The Hall fell into a strange silence, with nearly everyone involuntarily glancing at Jing Kui.


    Although these Semi-Divine geniuses had not witnessed Jing Kui¡¯s combat, his Points told them all about his formidable prowess.


    6134 Points!


    ¡°Peak of Pseudo-God strength, right?¡± Li Yuan sighed inwardly: ¡°Even the Dongfang Alliance Leader wouldn¡¯t dare to claim he¡¯s stronger than him.¡±


    Of course, this was judging from Dongfang Ji¡¯s strength when he started.


    Time passed.


    One by one, the Semi-Divines from the top thousand rankings began to fall, with most struggling to break 3000 Points.


    Eventually, when all one thousand had been defeated, fewer than 400 had surpassed 3000 Points¡­ and the Points ranking of the top thousand had not differed much from the final rankings of the battle five years ago.


    ¡°Made it past the sixth layer.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui has reached the strength of the Peak of Pseudo-God? This!¡±


    ¡°Is the gap between us and Jing Kui really this big?¡± Yue Shan, Dong Pan, Bai Feng, and other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs saw Jing Kui¡¯s score, and their expressions couldn¡¯t help but change.


    As everyone¡¯s means differ, the Points ranking may not entirely reflect strength.


    Ranked second, for example, was Dong Pan Semi-Divine, ending with 5564 Points.


    Yue Shan managed to climb to the fourth place!


    There were a total of 22 individuals with over 5000 Points, and 94 with over 4000 Points.


    However, a vast difference in Points often meant a gap in strength that was hard to overcome.


    Without a doubt.


    Jing Kui, through his actions, proved his status as the ¡®Number One Person on the Semi-Divine List¡¯.


    ¡­


    ¡°Semi-Divine ranks 1001 to 2000, enter the Divine Fire Tower,¡± ordered Chi Yang True God directly.


    Time passed.


    Batches of Semi-Divines entered the Divine Fire Tower, but as the order progressed, the average strength weakened, and after rank 5000, even reaching 3000 Points became a rare occurrence.


    Clearly, for the vast majority of Semi-Divines, it was very tough to undergo a qualitative change in strength in five years.


    Just half an hour later, it was the turn of ranks 8001 to 9000, the Semi-Divine Reserve Members, to enter the Divine Fire Tower.


    This batch of Reserve Members


    Since many were freshly inducted into Jue Xing Ancient City, quite a few stood out, breaking past 2000 Points directly.


    Some even approached 3000 Points, directly shooting into the top thousand ranks.


    This was quite a spectacle.


    Jiang Shan scored over 2700 Points. While not the most dazzling, it was remarkable given his age.


    This score indicated that his strength was enormously close to the Intermediate Rank of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Rank over 2300!¡±


    ¡°Haha! Made it! Made it!¡± Jiang Shan was incredibly excited; achieving his target was no small feat.


    He felt that his hopes of becoming a True God Inner Sect Disciple were rising.


    Thinking this,


    Jiang Shan couldn¡¯t help but turn his head to look at Li Yuan not too far away, thinking to himself: ¡°I wonder how many Points Xu Yuan could score, 3000? 4000?¡±


    Time passed.


    As this batch of Semi-Divines was all in, the first stage of the Semi-Divine ranking battle was drawing to a close, with only the last three hundred or so Semi-Divines left.


    Throughout the Hall, nearly every Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine could not help but look towards Li Yuan.


    In the last batch of Semi-Divines, the most dazzling, without a doubt, was Li Yuan.


    Moreover, with Li Yuan¡¯s bet with Bai Feng Semi-Divine, the attention was even greater.


    ¡°What do you think, how far can Xu Yuan break through?¡±


    ¡°He just broke through to Semi-Divine, even with Eight Star Veins, but his Origin Power Cultivation might not be enough. It will be tough to even score 2000 Points.¡±


    ¡°If he dares to bet, he should at least be able to score 3000 Points, right?¡± Many Semi-Divines and Flying Heavens whispered and discussed among themselves.


    Most people still believed Li Yuan should be able to break through 3000 Points, a benchmark.


    But reaching the higher 4000 Points? Even those with the most confidence in Li Yuan like Yue Shan, Yang Di, Jiang Shan, and others didn¡¯t dare say for certain that he could achieve it.


    After all, so far only 94 people had surpassed 4000 Points.


    Finally. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In a moment of silence, Chi Yang True God said solemnly: ¡°The remaining Semi-Divine Reserve Members, enter the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Li Yuan, Qi Xia, Ji Yan, Wu Beihong, and other newly inducted Semi-Divines, freshly advanced Semi-Divines, all transformed into streaks of light rushing into the space vortex in the void.


    For an instant, the vast majority of all Semi-Divines and Flying Heavens turned to look at the last name on the giant light screen on the other side¡ªLi Yuan.

 Chapter 854: 438: Ranking Battle_6

    Chapter 854: Chapter 438: Ranking Battle_6


    Lian Jingkui was no exception.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see which floor he can break through.¡± Chi Yang True God, Moon Wing True God, and others started directly observing Xu Yuan¡¯s actual combat situation.


    ¡­


    In the first level of the Divine Fire Tower, within a vast hall spanning nearly a hundred kilometers.


    ¡°No external objects are allowed to be used, no hiding in the Grotto Heaven Treasure is allowed, violators will be disqualified!¡±


    ¡°Once the protective power on the body surface is exhausted, you¡¯re disqualified!¡±


    ¡°Kill all Divine Fire Warriors within a quarter of an hour to be deemed as passing, and you may proceed to the next level.¡±


    ¡°For each Divine Fire Warrior killed, one point is scored.¡± Li Yuan appeared out of nowhere in the hall, feeling the series of detailed rules echoing in his mind.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan¡¯s peripheral vision swept over the numerous Divine Fire Warriors in the massive hall.


    ¡°[Target Life Level 50.0]¡± Li Yuan used the Divine Palace Exploration and got the results he wanted.


    All of the Divine Fire Warriors, in human form with robust auras, each ten meters tall, their surfaces like cast rock, diffusing a bit of flame light, holding various weapons.


    ¡°They don¡¯t seem like puppets.¡±


    ¡°It seems like they are warriors formed by the condensation of formations; the so-called Divine Fire Tower must be a very vast formation.¡± Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan¡¯s mind.


    Before he could think any further.


    ¡°Hum!!¡±


    In the massive hall, a full 1000 Divine Fire Warriors suddenly moved. Their eyes simultaneously fixed on the shadow in the black robe at the center of the hall¡ªLi Yuan!


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± A thousand Divine Fire Warriors turned into terrifying streams of flame, like flashes of lightning, lunging towards Li Yuan.


    Their flying speed instantly soared to more than 30 kilometers per second.


    Boom!


    Li Yuan stepped forward and instantly grew to a height of ten meters, his aura powerful and domineering. Following that, nine dazzling Yellow Dragons erupted, enshrouded by extremely concentrated earthy-yellow qi streams howling out, surging mightily in all directions.


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°All Things Divine Body¡±!


    Nine Layers Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±! Nine Dragons Xuan Armor!


    Three techniques burst forth at the same moment, the vast Domain, like a small world, instantly encompassed the hall with a diameter of less than a hundred kilometers.


    And it completely submerged the thousand Divine Fire Warriors.


    ¡°Hmm? These Divine Fire Warriors don¡¯t have any resistance?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank. These Divine Fire Warriors, which showed Life Levels of Pseudo-God, were much weaker than he had imagined.


    ¡°I understand now.¡± S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°It¡¯s Law Comprehension. These Divine Fire Warriors, each with very weak Law Realms, have pure strength but nothing else.¡± Li Yuan had come to understand everything.


    A Pseudo-God, aside from powerful Origin Power, can also manipulate the Mysteries of the Origin Law, making it possible to manifest ten to even a hundred times the strength of one unit.


    Without the ability to invoke Law Fluctuation.


    A newly-risen Pseudo-God could easily crush these thousand Divine Fire Warriors, let alone Li Yuan.


    ¡°My Life Level is now at 47.1. With the two Star Techniques unleashed, I can easily crush this level.¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    The surging, tumultuous earthy-yellow qi flows, like a river, furiously struck upon the bodies of the Divine Fire Warriors.


    Especially the nine Yellow Dragons.


    Now Li Yuan, having almost fully grasped the origin of the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, and with sufficient Origin Power, allowed the might of the nine great Yellow Dragons to be fully revealed¡­ Under the support of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, each Yellow Dragon could match the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    ¡°Rumble!¡± ¡°Boom!¡±


    Under the double pressure from the nine great Yellow Dragons and the Heaven and Earth River Domain, in an extremely short time, all one thousand Divine Fire Warriors were slaughtered.


    ¡°Second level.¡± Li Yuan thought, and the nine Yellow Dragons flew back into his body, and he leaped into the second floor.


    Soon after.


    Li Yuan directly broke into the third floor.


    ¡­


    In the Divine Fire Hall.


    ¡°Xu Yuan has broken through 2000 points.¡±


    ¡°So quickly?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s normal to break through the first level, but he managed to break through the second floor so quickly?¡±


    ¡°In terms of slaughter efficiency for the first two floors, besides Jing Kui, even Yue Shan and Dong Pan don¡¯t seem to be faster than Li Yuan, right?¡± The nearly ten thousand Flying Heaven Demigods were in shock.


    Li Yuan¡¯s slaughter efficiency was astonishing.


    At this moment.


    In the hearts of the thousands of Flying Heaven Demigods, there was only one thought¡ªXu Yuan, a prodigal talent recognized by countless True Gods as comparable to Jing Kui, in his first challenge of the Divine Fire Tower, how far could he advance?

 Chapter 855: 439: The Terrifying Xu Yuan

    Chapter 855: Chapter 439: The Terrifying Xu Yuan


    Li Yuan¡¯s burst of power indeed shocked all the Flying Heaven Semi-Divines.


    Even Jing Kui and Yue Shan, who had been optimistic from the start, had not anticipated his Slaughter efficiency to be so astonishing.


    ¡°How can Xu Yuan be so strong?¡±


    ¡°Even if we are only talking about the time it took to pass through the Second Level, I am merely slightly faster than him,¡± said Yue Shan Semi-Divine, unable to conceal his shock.


    ¡°Could it be that Li Yuan¡¯s strength is comparable to yours, Yue Shan?¡± Yang Di couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°But hasn¡¯t he just made a breakthrough to become a Semi-Divine? His Origin Power Cultivation should be far weaker than ours, and his Law Comprehension was only at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God five years ago¡­ Could it be that his Law Comprehension has reached the Pseudo-God Peak level so quickly?¡±


    Just thinking about it made Yang Di Semi-Divine feel it was impossible.


    A bottleneck that many Pseudo-Gods struggled to breakthrough for thousands of years, Xu Yuan surpassed it in just five years?


    Does such a monstrous genius exist in this world?


    ¡°Hard to say, let¡¯s watch,¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine said, staring at the light screen in the void.


    ¡­


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be! How can Xu Yuan be so strong? This is illogical,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine frowned, his heart in disarray.


    Since he dared to wager, he naturally was prepared for the possibility of losing.


    But even if he highly esteemed Li Yuan, he only thought Li Yuan had a slim chance to break into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List.


    Now what?


    Even compared to these group of Semi-Divine Saint Heirs, Li Yuan¡¯s efficiency in Slaughter was not the least bit inferior.


    But how long have these Semi-Divine Saint Heirs cultivated, and how long has Li Yuan cultivated?


    ¡­


    ¡°Interesting!¡±


    ¡°If his Slaughter efficiency is so fast, either his strength is extraordinary, or he possesses a powerful group attack method,¡± Jing Kui stood relaxed at the front of the team, expectation flickering in his eyes: ¡°But no matter what, Xu Yuan, you have proven that you are much stronger than you were five years ago.¡± S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Such rapid growth.¡±


    ¡°Could it be that I will have yet another opponent in the battle of the Ancestral Realm in six years?¡± Jing Kui smiled faintly.


    His experiences from a young age made him fear no additional opponents.


    Every strong adversary is seen as a scenery on his path to growth.


    ¡­


    On the high platform of the Temple, the seven True Gods could observe the detailed combat scenes of Li Yuan.


    ¡°Domain!¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan actually has such a powerful Domain ability, and it seems he has also activated a strong Divine Artifact,¡± said Yue Yi True God softly: ¡°Their combination makes his group attack method extremely astonishing.¡±


    ¡°I suspect it¡¯s the Nine Layer Domain Star Technique! And it has been cultivated to the Fourth Rank¡¯s pinnacle,¡± said a Purple Garment True God: ¡°Such a level of Domain is beyond the reach of many Pseudo-Gods.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s Law Comprehension may not be high, but if we are only talking about the might of the Domain, looking at the countless geniuses of the Divine Fire Hall, he is enough to compete for the top three,¡± said the Purple Garment True God seriously: ¡°Clearly, the Star Technique is very powerful.¡±


    Apart from Li Yuan, within the members of the Divine Fire Hall who have awakened to Eight Star Veins, there are only three¡­ the rest are Seven Star Veins Semi-Divines.


    Therefore, the number of Divine Fire Hall Semi-Divines who can cultivate two Nine Layer Star Techniques for combat is scarce¡­ among them, none have cultivated the Nine Layer Domain Star Technique.


    Like Jing Kui, he has awakened four Nine Layer Star Veins, and the two combat Nine Layer Star Techniques he cultivates are Body Refining Star Technique and Illusion Body Star Technique.


    A Nine Layer Star Technique cultivated to the Fourth Rank¡¯s pinnacle is a Level 36 Star Technique!


    Whereas a Seventh Layer Star Technique, when a Semi-Divine cultivates it to the Fourth Rank¡¯s pinnacle, is only Level 28, and a Pseudo-God cultivates it to the Fifth Rank¡¯s pinnacle is only Level 35.


    The higher the rank of the Star Technique, the more massive the difference in might later on.


    Li Yuan, even if his Law Comprehension is much weaker than those Semi-Divine Saint Heirs, but as their Origin Power Cultivation is nearing each other, relying on the cultivated to Level 35 ¡°Heaven and Earth River¡±, combined with the Nine Dragons Xuan Armor, makes his Domain Slaughter exceedingly strong, looking at the Divine Fire Hall¡¯s Semi-Divines, he is indeed at the top echelon.


    ¡°His Origin Power Cultivation should have also reached Level 47, much stronger than we previously anticipated,¡± another Black Armor Vice Hall Master also spoke.


    Before Li Yuan¡¯s burst, these True Gods couldn¡¯t see clearly.


    But once Li Yuan made a move, with the discernment of the True Gods, they naturally could quickly analyze many of Li Yuan¡¯s methods and details.


    ¡°Hmm, your conjectures are almost all correct,¡± Chi Yang True God said softly: ¡°Let¡¯s see how far Xu Yuan can go in the Divine Fire Tower.¡±


    ¡­


    The third level of the Divine Fire Tower.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± A thousand Divine Fire Warriors roared into action, the power they possessed was no different from the first and second levels.


    What changed was their Law Comprehension realm, which had all been elevated to the Semi-Divine standard.


    This naturally increased their strength significantly.


    These Divine Fire Warriors, also extraordinarily intelligent, grouped in tens, and surged down upon Li Yuan like a storm.


    ¡°Annihilate!¡±


    ¡°Go!¡± With just a thought from Li Yuan, he deployed his Domain technique again, with nine Yellow Dragons at its core, and those strands of earthy yellow flow surged out like blades, ferociously striking and slicing through the bodies of these Divine Fire Warriors.


    However, the difficulty was skyrocketing.


    On the second level, one Yellow Dragon could slay a Divine Fire Warrior, but now it could only leave scars.


    ¡°Relying solely on Domain is not enough.¡± There was a flash of sharpness in Li Yuan¡¯s eyes, and a wave of fluctuations spread out immediately afterward.


    Soul Attack! It penetrated instantly into the bodies of those Divine Fire Warriors¡­ yet, these Divine Fire Warriors were not affected in the slightest, still roaring and charging towards Li Yuan.


    ¡°I was mistaken,¡±


    ¡°If they were puppets, the spirit of the puppet would have consciousness and could be influenced by the Illusionary Realm, affecting their strength, but these Divine Fire Warriors are energy warriors condensed by formations¡­ possessing only the instinct to fight, hence immune to Soul Attacks,¡± Li Yuan immediately realized the Soul Attack was ineffective.


    He must rely on Material Attack to break out of the encirclement.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s figure moved, his speed much faster than five years ago, unpredictable, and in an instant he flashed numerous Phantom Bodies within the vast Heaven and Earth River.

    Nine Layer Star Technique ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡±!


    Although it¡¯s only the ultimate Third Rank, its might is no less than the Seventh Layer Star Techniques deployed by the Demigods.


    For a moment, the Divine Fire Warriors, already severely slowed down by the Domain suppression, immediately dispersed to pursue and slay each Phantom Body.


    ¡°Exterminate!¡±


    The true body of Li Yuan was hidden among them, and only twenty Divine Fire Warriors charged over.


    Whoosh!


    Li Yuan already had the Dark Star Divine Spear in hand, as his Long Spear instantly swept across the Vast Sky, followed by a surge of power, piercing through the bodies of three Divine Fire Warriors in an instant.


    Bodies tore apart! Slain in battle!


    Li Yuan, going all out and bolstered by his Domain, saw his Spear Technique¡¯s might reach the standard of Level 52 Water. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°Slay!¡±


    Even though Li Yuan¡¯s other Phantom Bodies possessed a certain offensive strength, the remaining Divine Fire Warriors still managed to discern the location of Li Yuan¡¯s true body and pounced towards him like lightning.


    ¡°These Divine Fire Warriors cannot stop me,¡± said Li Yuan casually, as he flickered and interchanged places with his numerous Phantom Bodies, instantly evading the pursuit of the Divine Fire Warriors.


    Whether it¡¯s ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± or ¡°Myriad Shadows Void,¡± the core lies in the words ¡®shadow¡¯ and ¡®illusion.¡¯


    Essentially, it is a highly advanced combat technique of Phantom Bodies.


    The strength of ¡°Myriad Shadows Void¡± over ¡°Nine Shadows Clone¡± is that it greatly enhances the resonance between Li Yuan and spatial fluctuations, allowing Li Yuan, with the same Law Comprehension, to form more True Illusion Bodies.


    Phantom Bodies come in many levels.


    The weak ones can be distinguished with a sweep of Divine Thought, while the powerful ones can even contain a certain attack strength.


    The legendary strongest Phantom Body is exactly like the true body, almost like another self, which is truly terrifying.


    Currently, Li Yuan could easily form hundreds of Phantom Bodies with a single thought.


    However, to prevent these Divine Fire Warriors from distinguishing which are real, he could at most maintain thirty-six Phantom Bodies¡­ The more Phantom Bodies maintained, the greater the consumption of Origin Power and the heavier the burden on Li Yuan¡¯s soul.


    Moreover, under the cover of the Heaven and Earth River Domain, Li Yuan¡¯s Phantom Bodies became even harder to detect.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± ¡°Whoosh!¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s true body interchanges with his Phantom Bodies, the Domain enveloping all sides, continuously slaughtering the Divine Fire Warriors.


    In the end, after a significant expenditure of effort, Li Yuan slaughtered all the Divine Fire Warriors on this floor.


    ¡°The fourth layer!¡±


    Li Yuan rested for a moment, then transformed into a streak of light and entered the fourth floor of the Divine Fire Tower.


    ¡­


    At this moment, on the ranking screen in the Divine Fire Hall, Li Yuan¡¯s score ranking had soared to 412th place.


    ¡°He¡¯s entered the fourth layer.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s made the top thousand and has the qualifications to participate in the second round of competition.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s speed through the third layer was much slower than the other Saint Heirs, and his efficiency in slaying has noticeably decreased.¡±


    ¡°It looks like Xu Yuan¡¯s true strength can¡¯t keep up with the Demigod Saint Heirs,¡± discussed the Demigods, with the likes of Yue Shan, Dong Pan, Bai Feng, also finally breathing a sigh of relief.


    If Xu Yuan truly broke through to Demigod and caught up with them in strength, that would be too terrifying.


    However.


    As they looked up at the score ranking that was still climbing rapidly on the screen, they couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit wistful and sighed.


    ¡°312th place now.¡±


    ¡°291st place!¡±


    Even though the pace of Li Yuan¡¯s score increase had slowed down sharply, it still couldn¡¯t hide his brilliance. After all, he had been cultivating for just over thirty years.


    ¡°It looks like Xu Yuan can¡¯t make it through the fourth layer,¡± said Demigod Yue Shan in a low voice, ¡°My estimate is that he¡¯ll reach around rank two hundred at best, that¡¯s the limit.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already quite terrifying,¡± Yin Di shook his head and sighed, ¡°This is just his first attempt!¡±


    ¡°But, just breaking through the top two hundred of the Divine Fire Tower, it¡¯s going to be extremely difficult to make it into the top hundred in the second round of competition,¡± Demigod Yue Shan said with a sigh, ¡°Isn¡¯t that going to mean losing the bet?¡±


    Yang Di was stunned for a moment, and looked over at Bai Feng in the distance.


    Bai Feng¡¯s face showed no joy.


    ¡­


    On the high platform of the great hall, the seven True Gods had been closely following Li Yuan¡¯s progress.


    ¡°Xu Yuan will have a hard time getting past the fourth layer.¡±


    ¡°His comprehension of the Laws has greatly improved compared to five years ago, which is already ridiculously exaggerated for his age¡­ but he still lags far behind the likes of Dong Pan and Yue Shan,¡± said Yue Wing True God with a sharp eye, ¡°His mastery of Spear Techniques has just entered the Pseudo-God Middle Rank.¡±


    ¡°Those Demigod Saint Heirs, each of their moves are of Pseudo-God Peak Rank, with Dong Pan and Jing Kui even reaching the Pseudo-God Limit Rank,¡± Yue Wing True God¡¯s gaze was critical.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s strength is roughly at level 52, but his Domain is extremely strong.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Give Xu Yuan a few more decades, and he will be very scary, but currently, his Law Comprehension is still inadequate. He cleared the first and second layers so quickly because his Domain was strong enough; a Domain is an effective weapon against the weak¡­ but the stronger the enemy, the weaker the effect of the Domain,¡± Purple Garment True God also spoke.


    ¡°With his Domain, he can push to about ranking 200, but when it comes to the actual combat, his final ranking will probably plummet to around 400 or so.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, if it comes to a life-and-death battle with other Demigods, Xu Yuan might rank around 300 on the Semi-Divine List,¡± the True Gods communicated amongst themselves.


    Breaking through the Divine Fire Tower is not entirely fair.


    Soul Attacks, for instance, are unusable here, mainly because Demigods generally do not specifically study the Soul and the tests are exceedingly complex; the Jue Xing Ancient City hasn¡¯t set them up specifically.


    In a sense, the upper echelons of Jue Xing Ancient City do not encourage Demigods to delve into the Path of the Soul¡­ After all, for Demigods, the most important tasks are enhancing their comprehension of the Laws and awakening their Life Stars.


    After ascending to God, there will be plenty of time to ponder the Path of the Soul.


    Moreover, those proficient in Domain and area-of-effect techniques will also have a greater advantage in the first five floors of the Divine Fire Tower.


    Only the sixth floor of the Divine Fire Tower will spawn the strongest Divine Fire Warriors, and only those with absolutely formidable power can make it through.

 Chapter 857: 439: The Terrifying Xu Yuan_3

    Chapter 857: Chapter 439: The Terrifying Xu Yuan_3


    ¡­


    On the fourth floor of Divine Fire Tower, Li Yuan was fighting with all his might.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Kill! Kill!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s battle intention soared to the sky, yet deep inside he maintained absolute calmness.


    The Seven Emotions and Six Desires flowed through his heart, but his inner self remained absolutely still; this is the pursuit of the Six Realms of Illusion in tempering the Spiritual Will.


    Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!


    Thirty-six Phantom Bodies flickered in and out of existence, helping to conceal Li Yuan¡¯s real body among them, avoiding the attacks of the Divine Fire Warriors.


    The Spear Technique was sharp and aggressive!


    His movement technique was akin to a ghost!


    ¡°Booming~¡± The endless Divine Fire Warriors conducted a frenzied attack. Each one possessed magnificent and vigorous energy, capable of invoking the Mysteries of the Law with their weapons unleashing tremendous might.


    At this moment, every single Divine Fire Warrior¡¯s strength had far exceeded a Semi-Divine Limit Expert and was approaching that of a Pseudo-God.


    In the vast onslaught of attacks, with each influencing the other, the might in Li Yuan¡¯s Heaven and Earth River Domain was rapidly dwindling, forcing him to continuously contract his domain to suppress the Divine Fire Warriors that were closing in.


    Nine Yellow Dragons? They had been scattered by the combined strikes of the Divine Fire Warriors several times.


    But most importantly!


    The entire hall had a maximum diameter of just 100 kilometers, leaving Li Yuan with very limited space to maneuver.


    ¡°If my Origin Power cultivation reached the 49.9 level! I could significantly boost my capabilities across all areas and likely pass the fourth floor,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Now? I fear I might fail.¡±


    The difficulty of each floor in the Divine Fire Tower continuously skyrocketed.


    ¡°Boom! Boom!¡±


    Hundreds of Divine Fire Warriors kept on attacking, and even Li Yuan¡¯s movement technique couldn¡¯t avoid being hit¡­ one mistake could lead to successive hits.


    Causing the energy contained within Li Yuan¡¯s Protective Spirit Light to rapidly decrease.


    ¡°Whoosh!¡± Unable to dodge in time, another ruthless strike grazed past Li Yuan¡¯s true body, followed by the complete dispersal of his Protective Spirit Light, and in an instant, Li Yuan vanished from this hall.


    Li Yuan¡¯s final score was 3488 Points.


    Ranked 214th in points!


    ¡­


    Phew!


    Li Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and he gently landed on the ground from the space vortex filled with streams of fire.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Yuan immediately sensed the gazes of envy, jealousy, and admiration in the grand hall.


    ¡°Truly formidable!¡±


    ¡°No wonder he could compete with Jing Kui. Just barely becoming Semi-Divine and yet he¡¯s able to surge to rank 214.¡±


    ¡°Indeed staggering!¡±


    ¡°His strength has improved too fast. I really wonder how he¡¯s been cultivating.¡± Many Semi-Divine Flying Heaven were discussing through voice transmission.


    Although Li Yuan¡¯s rank of 214 was still a fair distance from the ¡®top hundred¡¯ bet with Bai Feng¡­ initially, no one believed Li Yuan could win.


    The rank of 214 was enough to shock everyone.


    Li Yuan had returned to the ranks of powerhouses such as Yue Shan and Yang Di from Abyss Country; they naturally gathered together.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, brother, well done.¡± Yue Shan revealed a smile: ¡°I was worried before, but it turns out you truly have the strength. To surge to rank 214 on your first try, in the ranking battles five years from now, you¡¯re sure to break into the top hundred.¡±


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°Although you didn¡¯t win the bet this time, nobody will dare underestimate you now,¡± Yang Di also said with a smile: ¡°Look, even Bai Feng has nothing to say.¡±


    In their opinion, if Li Yuan hadn¡¯t broken into the top thousand, it would have been very embarrassing to lose the bet.


    But rank 214? Losing the bet could still be accepted.


    ¡°Yue Shan, brother, Yang Di, brother.¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°The second stage hasn¡¯t started yet, have you already decided that I would lose?¡±


    Yue Shan and Yang Di were both surprised.


    From Li Yuan¡¯s words, did he still have confidence in breaking into the top hundred?


    Without waiting for them to ask.


    ¡°The first stage of the Semi-Divine ranking battle has come to an end,¡± a deep voice already came from the high platform, echoing throughout the grand hall, instantly silencing it.


    Chi Yang True God glanced over the crowd and said slowly: ¡°Those who have scored in the top thousand will enter the second round.¡±


    ¡°The battle rules are simple, randomly divided into ten groups based on points rank, each group consisting of one hundred people.¡±


    ¡°Within each group, one hundred people will battle in sequence. Victory earns 1 point, no points for a loss, and the top thirty in each group will become the top three hundred on the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°The top ten in each group will be among the Semi-Divine List¡¯s top hundred.¡±


    ¡°The first and second place in each group will enter the top twenty to decide the final top ten,¡± Chi Yang True God said deeply.


    All those who had made it into the top thousand tensed up.


    Round battles are the most brutal! Yet extremely fair!


    Want to break into the top hundred or even the top ten? Then defeat the majority of Semi-Divines in your group.


    Whoosh~


    With a wave of Chi Yang True God¡¯s hand, the massive space vortex in the void dissipated, replaced by densely packed Void Arenas, a total of one hundred.


    Enough for two groups of Semi-Divine powerhouses to battle simultaneously.


    ¡°Phew!¡±


    With another wave of Chi Yang True God¡¯s hand, the giant screen in the void flashed, quickly dividing into ten groups, each group with exactly one hundred names.


    Every name had its score reset to 0!


    ¡°Jing Kui is in the first group.¡±


    ¡°Dong Pan is in the second group.¡±


    ¡­ Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Bai Feng¡¯s rank is around ten-plus, also in the second group.¡±


    ¡°The top ten scorers from Divine Fire Tower each entered one of the ten groups, those ranked eleven to twenty were also scattered across the ten groups¡­¡± Many Semi-Divine Flying Heaven couldn¡¯t help but look up.


    The grouping by point rankings ensured that each group¡¯s strength was very balanced and fair.


    On average, each group had 1-2 Saint Heirs.


    ¡°I am ranked 214, placed in the second group,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s gaze swept over the giant screen: ¡°Within group two, my ranking by points is 22¡­ if I wish to advance into the top two of my group to compete for the final top ten, I¡¯ll have to strive for an undefeated battle.¡±


    Only an unbroken string of victories could ensure success.


    However, in Li Yuan¡¯s group two, with Dong Pan and Bai Feng both being Saint Heirs, the difficulty of remaining undefeated was self-evident.


    ¡°Bai Feng!¡± Li Yuan thoughtfully turned his head and coincidentally locked eyes with Bai Feng.¡±

 Chapter 858: 439 The Terrifying Xu Yuan_4

    Chapter 858: Chapter 439 The Terrifying Xu Yuan_4


    The gazes of the two collided, both fully aware of the other¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡­


    ¡°First group, second group, the 200 Demigod Reserve Members, do not resist, prepare to enter the Void Arena,¡± Chi Yang True God spoke in a deep voice: ¡°The rules are the same as when storming the Divine Fire Tower. I emphasize once again, the use of Law Treasures and other external objects is not permitted. Anyone found doing so will be immediately disqualified.¡±


    Whoosh!


    In an instant, an invisible force enveloped the 200 Demigods, and they were immediately transformed into streaks of light, cast into one Void Arena after another.


    Swiftly.


    Everyone quickly discerned the combatants for the hundred Void Arenas, and one arena immediately attracted the vast majority of attention.


    ¡°It¡¯s Xu Yuan and Bai Feng!!¡±


    ¡°Haha, both are from the second group, and they encountered each other in the first round. Interesting indeed.¡±


    ¡°Li Yuan just had a stellar performance in the Divine Fire Tower, and now, in the blink of an eye, he¡¯s faced with tragedy.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s ranked 214th, definitely going to lose.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if Bai Feng will trample over Xu Yuan,¡± numerous spectating Flying Heaven Demigods discussed among themselves.


    Compared to this battle, even Jing Kui¡¯s fight wasn¡¯t receiving much attention.


    And all the onlookers unanimously believed that Xu Yuan stood no chance against Bai Feng, the disparity in their strength being evident from the Points ranking.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, relying on his Domain, should be able to hold out for a while.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, although Bai Feng is arrogant, his strength is indeed formidable. Defeating the current Xu Yuan should not be difficult,¡± even the seven True Gods present, including Chi Yang True God, thought so.


    ¡­


    Upon that Void Arena.


    ¡°Hmm? Xu Yuan?¡± Bai Feng, clad in golden armor, couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback upon seeing Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan was also astonished.


    Encountering each other in the first round? Both had a suspicion, could it be Chi Yang True God¡¯s doing?


    ¡°Brother Xu Yuan, your strength is very strong, I take back my words, I admit I underestimated you,¡± said Bai Feng, the Demigod slowly: ¡°However, you¡¯re not my match right now.¡±


    Even if confident in his victory, Bai Feng no longer held his arrogance, nor did he scoff at Li Yuan.


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng.¡± Li Yuan revealed a slight smile: ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t know if I can defeat you, but you should take the first move, or you might not get the chance at all.¡±


    ¡°No chance to take the first move?¡± Bai Feng was first taken aback, a flicker of anger crossing his eyes: ¡°Xu Yuan, I¡¯ve been very respectful towards you already.¡±


    Respect?


    ¡°Brother Bai Feng, I didn¡¯t intend to say such things,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°I¡¯m speaking from the heart.¡±


    Li Yuan indeed meant his sincere words.


    The extent of the power of a Soul Attack was something even Li Yuan himself was not sure of.


    ¡°Fine!¡±


    ¡°Brother Li Yuan, then I invite you to take the first move, let me see what ¡®no chance to take the first move¡¯ means,¡± Bai Feng¡¯s face turned sullen, a rage taking hold of his heart.


    Even Jing Kui would not dare to speak to him with such a tone! S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± Li Yuan said with a smile.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Bai Feng¡¯s gaze turned icy: ¡°Show me all the moves you¡¯ve got.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded, his thoughts causing a thunderous roar, as the vast expanse of the Heaven and Earth River Domain erupted, and in an instant enveloped the entire Void Arena.


    ¡°Domain? Such a strong Domain? No wonder you were able to advance so quickly on the first and second levels of the Divine Fire Tower,¡± a flicker of surprise crossed Bai Feng¡¯s eyes, but then his expression turned cold: ¡°But believing you can defeat me with just this Domain tactic¡­ Huh? Not good!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Soul Attack!¡±


    Bai Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, as he felt his consciousness plummet into endless darkness.

 Chapter 859: 440: Sweeping Everything Before It

    Chapter 859: Chapter 440: Sweeping Everything Before It


    ¡°It¡¯s a Soul Attack!¡±


    ¡°Bai Feng is also a Semi-Divine Saint Heir, whose soul and will have both entered the Pseudo-God Level, and he possesses a Protective Soul Treasure. Logically, he should easily withstand a normal Pseudo-God¡¯s Soul Attack.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, having just broken through to Semi-Divine, how could his Soul Attack be so powerful?¡± The True Gods present on the great hall¡¯s platform all felt rather astonished.


    The might of Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, in the eyes of these True Gods, was not worth mentioning; they themselves could wipe out a Peak of Pseudo-God with a casual Soul Attack¡­ But such an attack coming from a newly advanced Semi-Divine took on a completely different meaning.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Illusionary Realm! Not a direct soul annihilation.¡±


    ¡°From the information I checked earlier, I knew Xu Yuan had a strong Soul Will, but given his young age, he could at most be of the Semi-Divine Saint Heir level (Initial Rank of Pseudo-God)¡­ But now it seems that his Soul Will might well rival that of the Peak of Pseudo-God.¡±


    ¡°Having a strong Soul Will is just the foundation, but it doesn¡¯t mean it can be transformed into a Soul Attack¡­ Most Peak Pseudo-God Level beings wouldn¡¯t have such powerful Soul Attacks,¡± the True Gods communicated swiftly.


    Ultimately, they all looked towards Chi Yang True God, who was standing at the very front.


    ¡°Everything you¡¯ve mentioned, I already know.¡±


    Chi Yang True God slowly said: ¡°A single thought making Bai Feng succumb, this indicates Xu Yuan possesses astonishing talent in the Soul Path¡­ perhaps even higher than his Law Talent.¡±


    Talent!


    The seven True Gods managed the Divine Fire Hall; their mission was to unearth more young prodigies for Jue Xing Ancient City in order to provide them with focused cultivation.


    ¡°But this is only the first battle.¡±


    ¡°No rush, let¡¯s watch a bit longer,¡± said Chi Yang True God slowly: ¡°If such Soul methods are not just a fluke but the norm, I will naturally report it.¡±


    ¡­


    If the seven True Gods still appeared indifferent, then the thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divines watching in the Temple were thoroughly shocked by the sight of Li Yuan in his black robe.


    ¡°One move, and he defeated Semi-Divine Bai Feng?¡±


    ¡°Bai Feng, he is a Saint Heir! What exactly happened just now?¡±


    ¡°Could it be a Soul Attack? But how could Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack be so terrifying?¡± Countless Flying Heaven Semi-Divines were filled with shock.


    This scene completely shattered their perceptions.


    In their imagination, a clash between top-tier Semi-Divines should involve them using powerful Star Techniques and engaging in fierce combat¡­ not as effortless as it was for Xu Yuan.


    It was as if he had defeated Semi-Divine Bai Feng in a casual conversation.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, as expected!¡± Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, though inconspicuous among the thousands of Semi-Divines, exchanged glances, both slightly emotional.


    Initially, they had both witnessed Li Yuan¡¯s feat of traversing the Nine Sounds Realm; clearly, five years later, Li Yuan¡¯s Soul methods had become even more terrifying.


    ¡­¡±Is this the confidence of Brother Xu Yuan?¡± Yue Shan Semi-Divine and Yang Di were both deeply shaken as well.


    They couldn¡¯t help but recall Xu Yuan¡¯s words from earlier.


    Top hundred? If Bai Feng couldn¡¯t withstand Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, how many others could?


    ¡°Yue Shan, are you confident?¡± Yang Di suddenly asked.


    ¡°Me?¡± Yue Shan was taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook his head: ¡°No confidence.¡±


    He truly lacked confidence.


    Not just Yue Shan, He Feng, Yan Dong, and the other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs who hadn¡¯t yet joined the battle, all felt an unprecedented wariness.


    Among the sixteen Semi-Divine Saint Heirs, aside from Jing Kui who was in a league of his own, the strength of the other fifteen was actually very close, all at the standard of Level 54 Pseudo-God¡­ This was nearly the limit of strength a Semi-Divine could achieve.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s second battle is about to start,¡± Yue Shan suddenly pointed at one of the Void Arenas.


    ¡­


    Within one of the Void Arenas.


    ¡°Me?¡± The Semi-Divine Bai Feng had just regained consciousness, his eyes still carrying a hint of bewilderment.


    But he soon became fully alert.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Illusionary Realm! A Soul Attack, I¡¯ve been hit,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine realized in horror, followed by a wave of despair, ¡°I lost? I lost in the first battle?¡±


    Did I also lose to Xu Yuan?


    But he knew he had lost fairly; the Illusionary Realm Xu Yuan deployed was too terrifying, too real.


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost one match.¡±


    ¡°If I want to get into the top twenty, it¡¯s problematic. I must win against Dong Pan to have a glimmer of hope,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine understood his situation clearly.


    In this kind of round battle, losing one match can be very difficult.


    If he can¡¯t even enter the top twenty, the position of Saint Heir might not be secure, and various resources and treatments would plummet.


    ¡°Just do my best,¡± Bai Feng Semi-Divine gritted his teeth.


    ¡­


    In another Void Arena.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, my name is Shao Li. Though the chances are slim that I¡¯m your match, I will also fight with all my might,¡± said the young man in dark green Combat Armor in a deep voice.


    Inside the Void Arena, it is impossible to watch the scenes of other arenas.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    ¡°Then make your move,¡± said Li Yuan with a smile, ¡°Otherwise, once I make a move, you¡¯re going to lose.¡±


    The young man in dark green Combat Armor¡¯s eyes hardened, a trace of anger flashing through them.


    The Semi-Divine in the hall already knew Li Yuan¡¯s methods, but the Semi-Divine within each Void Arena did not.


    ¡°Boom¡±


    The moment the young man in dark green Combat Armor moved, he invoked his Domain, and vast flames came into existence out of thin air in the void.


    A giant Divine Sword appeared in his hands, and with a howl, he charged toward Li Yuan.


    With a flash of the sword light, the young man in dark green Combat Armor swiftly closed in on Li Yuan.


    ¡°Coming?¡± Li Yuan watched him, ready to unleash a Soul Attack, seeing no further need to hold back.


    Li Yuan, too, wished to test his methods against more powerful opponents.


    Whir!


    With a thought, Li Yuan unleashed invisible ripples of the soul, which instantly permeated the spiritual world of the young man in dark green Combat Armor as layer upon layer of Illusionary Realm appeared.


    ¡°Huh?¡± The young man in dark green Combat Armor, sensing something amiss, suddenly found his eyes fiercely agitated.


    His consciousness was sinking!


    ¡°Rumble!¡± At the thought of Li Yuan, he deployed the Heaven and Earth River Domain, creating a wildly tumultuous sweep across the entire hall, eventually engulfing the young man in dark green Combat Armor.


    Eliminated!


    If even Bai Feng, who is ranked just over tenth in Points, can¡¯t withstand Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, how could he stand a chance?


    ¡°I won.¡± Li Yuan found it very easy.


    ¡°After repeated tempering by the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ over five years, my soul has been tested countless times and has fallen into despair countless times, which has honed it to an extraordinary level,¡± Li Yuan reflected inwardly, ¡°However, there are still numerous imperfections in the Illusionary Realm formed by invoking his innermost desires.¡±


    Time passed.


    The arena constantly transformed, and Li Yuan swiftly encountered one Semi-Divine Reserve Member after another.


    These opponents from the same group had different attitudes.


    But no matter their Points ranking or how strong they are¡­ all have succumbed to Li Yuan¡¯s Illusionary Realm, and following the expansion of Li Yuan¡¯s Domain, with the nine Yellow Dragons howling, he easily defeated one demigod after another.


    If it were a life-and-death fight, it would actually not be easy to kill these demigods because their material Defense would be astonishing.


    Once a powerful individual encounters a fatal danger, the possibility of becoming alert skyrockets.


    But the key point is.


    In such battles, both sides are enveloped in a layer of ¡®Guardian Spirit Light¡¯, and once the energy contained within the Spirit Light dwindles dramatically.


    Victory!


    Victory! Victory!


    Each confrontation, Li Yuan¡¯s tactics were the same from beginning to end.


    First, he made the opponents fall into an illusion with a Soul Attack.


    Second, before the opponents could wake up, he would use his Domain to break through their Protective Spirit Light.


    Simple tactics, yet no one could stop Li Yuan¡¯s winning streak, and there wasn¡¯t even one who forced him to use his weapons.


    ¡­


    Inside the Divine Fire Hall, thousands of Flying Heaven Semi-Divine were shocked by the scene.


    What did they see?


    Powerful demigods, ranked within the top one thousand in Points, were practically lining up to give Xu Yuan victories.


    ¡°It¡¯s a Soul Attack!¡±


    ¡°Unrivaled in power¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack is terrifying. Purely in terms of Soul Attack, he might well be ranked first,¡± all the Flying Heaven Semi-Divine were sighing in shock, as they were witnessing such powerful Soul Attacks from a demigod for the first time.


    ¡°Group one, Jing Kui is definitely the first, with a 72-match winning streak already.¡±


    ¡°In group two, both Xu Yuan and Dong Pan are on a winning streak. No one can block their pace, Bai Feng has already lost to Dong Pan¡­ Who will be the first in group two out of these two?¡± Many Flying Heaven Semi-Divine had this thought crossing their minds.


    ¡°I think Xu Yuan will win; his Soul Attack is too formidable.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t say for sure! Dong Pan is not inferior to Bai Feng. Before Jing Kui¡¯s rise, Dong Pan has contended for the top spot on the Semi-Divine List multiple times¡­ and his Soul Will is also extremely strong.¡±


    ¡°Right! Dong Pan might be able to withstand it. As long as he awakens in an instant, Xu Yuan will undoubtedly be defeated.¡± Everyone was looking forward to the upcoming pinnacle showdown of group two.


    Whoever wins will laugh till the end.


    ¡­


    The spectators didn¡¯t have to wait too long. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    When Li Yuan completed his 86th consecutive victory and Dong Pan completed his 71st, both appeared simultaneously in a Void Arena.


    Clad in a black robe, Li Yuan, upon seeing his opponent across the arena wearing an earth-yellow robe, also took on a serious expression.


    Dong Pan Semi-Divine!


    Ranked third on the Semi-Divine List and the greatest challenge Li Yuan faced in contending for first place in group two.


    ¡°Brother Dong Pan,¡± greeted Li Yuan with a smile.


    Whoosh!


    With his stout figure, Dong Pan Semi-Divine looked at Li Yuan with interest and spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Xu Yuan, you must have hidden your strength¡­ otherwise, you could not have won consecutive matches faster than me.¡±


    Combatants in the Void Arena cannot see other arena battles¡­ but they can see the Points ranking.


    ¡°Try it and you¡¯ll see,¡± Li Yuan replied with a smile, feeling very calm inside.


    A moment later.


    ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The moment Dong Pan Semi-Divine took action, his body expanded to ten meters tall.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    An invisible fluctuation had already swept over, invading the Spiritual World of Dong Pan Semi-Divine instantly.


    ¡°Soul Attack? So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine now understood why Xu Yuan was able to achieve consecutive victories so quickly.


    How could a Soul Attack not be quick?


    ¡°Wake up!¡±


    ¡°Wake up!¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine roared within his heart, his Soul Will as strong as a Pseudo-God¡¯s, desperately resisting the Soul Attack from Li Yuan¡­ with the illusion world in front of him shaking violently.


    Boom!


    The Illusionary World completely collapsed!


    ¡°Such an Illusionary trick is not as strong as I had imagined,¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine was awake now, seemingly unaffected much by Li Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack.


    At a glance, Dong Pan Semi-Divine could see the earth-yellow airflow surging from all directions.


    Heaven and Earth River Domain!!


    ¡°Suppress!¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯s eyes turned icy as chains manifested around him, drawing upon the terrifying might of heaven and earth, suppressing everything.


    Rumbling~ Numerous Divine Artifact Chains, like great serpents, whipped and dispersed the nine Yellow Dragons, and even permeating towards Li Yuan at the center of the Heaven and Earth River Domain.


    Overwhelmingly unstoppable.


    ¡°Defeated!¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯s figure moved, charging towards Li Yuan like a rampaging War God.


    Li Yuan, although displaying incredibly strong abilities, Dong Pan Semi-Divine was confident that it would take only a few exchanges to utterly defeat Li Yuan.


    But just as Dong Pan Semi-Divine was about to reach Li Yuan in an instant.


    ¡°Dong Pan.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going to lose.¡± Li Yuan, encircled by hefty air currents, corners of his mouth revealing an enigmatic smile.


    Dong Pan Semi-Divine was stunned just for a moment, then suddenly felt severe pain in his brain and body. He saw the world before him shattering like broken glass, with Xu Yuan nearby also disintegrating.


    ¡°I¡¯m still in the Illusionary Realm? Is this multiple layers of illusions stacked?¡± Dong Pan Semi-Divine was anxious and angry, finally realizing what was happening.


    But it was already too late!


    Whoosh!


    In the real world, on the Void Arena, rumbling~ the frenzied nine Yellow Dragons were charging towards the struggling and eyes-closed Dong Pan Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Rumbling~¡± Equivalent to the attack of nine Initial Rank Pseudo-God fighters, with one move, the Protective Spirit Light of Dong Pan Semi-Divine was completely shattered.


    ¡°Illusion!¡±


    ¡°First, I stir up the deep confidence in your heart, making you feel that you¡¯ve broken free from the illusion and that you have already won,¡± Li Yuan stood there, murmuring as he watched the area where Dong Pan Semi-Divine had vanished: ¡°In confidence, your vigilance towards danger drops significantly.¡±


    ¡°Which is often when you¡¯re caught off guard.¡±


    ¡°Dual layers of illusion? If the art of illusion flows to perfection, making the real seem illusory, and the illusory almost real, it confuses people to not distinguish between reality and illusion,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s heart was very calm.


    This battle, Dong Pan Semi-Divine, defeated!!


    Xu Yuan, victorious!


    This battle has also largely represented that, with great probability, the first place in group two will fall into Li Yuan¡¯s hands.


    Only one step away from breaking into the top ten.

 Chapter 860: 441: Final Ranking

    Chapter 860: Chapter 441: Final Ranking


    ¡°Dong Pan actually lost?¡±


    ¡°Dong Pan¡¯s soul will is so powerful, yet he couldn¡¯t resist Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack?¡± In the temple, thousands of Flying Heaven Demigods were in an uproar, Semi-Divine Heirs like Yue Shan and He Feng had their expressions condensed to the extreme.


    Bai Feng losing was already surprising enough.


    But Dong Pan lost as well? It¡¯s known that Dong Pan cultivated and comprehended the Law of Earth and the Mysteries of Space, which combined to make his defense exceptionally formidable; during his challenges in the Divine Fire Tower, his lack of attack power often meant he could only rank between 2nd to 5th.


    However, in the recent ranking battles, he had consistently secured the second place, and among the dozen plus Semi-Divine Heirs, only Jing Kui could break his defense with his absolute speed.


    In this clash with Li Yuan, Dong Pan was not the slightest bit negligent; he had prepared early to withstand soul attacks.


    Yet he still lost?


    If Dong Pan lost, how many of the Semi-Divine Heirs could win against Li Yuan?


    ¡°Impressive!¡±


    ¡°Even Dong Pan was caught off guard? Before Jing Kui¡¯s breakthrough, Dong Pan¡¯s Law Comprehension was always higher, yet he still lost to Li Yuan?¡± The seven Demigods on the high platform were quite astonished.


    Dong Pan Semi-Divine is only at the Seven Star Veins, so why did he always firmly hold the second place on the Semi-Divine List? It¡¯s because of his extraordinary Law Comprehension.


    And with higher Law Comprehension, influenced by the Origin of the Great Dao, the soul will also tends to be extremely powerful.


    Before the battle, these True Gods had believed that the probability of victory would be greater for Semi-Divine Dong Pan.


    ¡°It seems that Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack method is stronger than we imagined,¡± commented Yue Wing True God in a deep voice.


    ¡°If Dong Pan has been defeated, it¡¯s even harder for others to resist; probably only Jing Kui has hope to withstand it.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s see if Jing Kui can withstand it.¡± This became the consensus among the seven True Gods.


    ¡­


    Defeating Dong Pan made Li Yuan unrivalled in the second group, swiftly winning the subsequent fights.


    Unbeaten! 99 Points!


    With an absolute advantage, he became the first ranked in the second group, and smoothly secured the first spot among the top twenty of the Semi-Divine List.


    After losing to Li Yuan, Dong Pan Semi-Divine quickly adjusted and won all the following battles, scoring 98 points and claiming the second place of the group.


    Bai Feng ultimately seized the third place.


    Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! The hundred combatants of the second group ended their battles more quickly than others, all returning to the ground of the grand hall.


    Almost everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on Li Yuan.


    Defeating Semi-Divine Heirs Bai Feng and Dong Pan consecutively, his strength was undoubtedly respected by all Flying Heaven Demigods.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Haha, congratulations!¡± Yue Shan and Yang Di both greeted Li Yuan with smiles.


    Like Yue Shan, even though they might face Li Yuan later on, possibly becoming adversaries, he still felt happy for Li Yuan¡¯s achievements.


    ¡°Xu Yuan.¡±


    A deep voice suddenly rang out, closely followed by Bai Feng already walking up to Li Yuan, speaking softly, ¡°I lost the wager this time, here are ten thousand Divine Crystals for you to take.¡±


    Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, a Storage Treasure flew towards Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan stretched out his hand to catch it, and a sweep of Divine Thought confirmed the ten thousand Divine Crystals inside.


    All correct.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly, watching as Semi-Divine Bai Feng merged into the crowd.


    Since the opponent conceded the wager gracefully, Li Yuan naturally wouldn¡¯t speak mockingly.


    ¡°Tsk tsk, this guy.¡± Yang Di communicated with a chuckle, ¡°Every time he competed with Yue Shan before, even if he often lost, he would never give in, always claiming he would take it back next time. This time, he actually conceded so promptly and cleanly.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s because brother Xu Yuan is strong enough,¡± Yue Shan said with emotion, ¡°My strength is not much different from Bai Feng¡¯s, and I¡¯ve cultivated for even longer; it¡¯s normal for Bai Feng to be unconvinced¡­ But how long has brother Xu Yuan been cultivating? To defeat him and Dong Pan directly the first time¡­ he will only gap him more in the future.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention Bai Feng.¡±


    ¡°Even Jing Kui, I think, is far from brother Xu Yuan,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile.


    ¡°You flatter me,¡± Li Yuan replied, shaking his head. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡­


    Shortly after the second group¡¯s battles ended, the first group¡¯s battles also came to an end.


    Jing Kui also smoothly scored 99 points, securing first place.


    He quickly learned the results of the second group.


    ¡°Dong Pan lost?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan won? First in the second group?¡± Jing Kui, who was always calm, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, ¡°Employed a soul attack? Even Dong Pan couldn¡¯t resist at all?¡±


    As his biggest competitor, Jing Kui was very clear about Dong Pan Semi-Divine¡¯s strength.


    Even now that he had a breakthrough in power, defeating Dong Pan swiftly would be difficult; it would still take at least a dozen moves at the least.


    ¡°Jing Kui, you need to be careful,¡± Dong Pan communicated with a cold voice, ¡°While your soul will is stronger than mine, Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack is terrifying¡­ Among the powerful Pseudo-Gods I¡¯ve seen, hardly a few have soul attacks that could match his.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t capsize in the gutter; otherwise, we, the old-timers, would lose too much face,¡± Dong Pan said.


    ¡°Hmm.¡±


    ¡°I will naturally be cautious,¡± Jing Kui said with a smile, a serious expression also flashed across his eyes.


    For the first time, he regarded Li Yuan as an opponent who could contend with him.


    ¡­


    As time elapsed, group by group of combatants entered the Void Arena, and the final rankings were decided.


    Over a day and a half, the top two, top ten, and top thirty of each group were decided in turn.


    It also meant that the top twenty of the Semi-Divine List were solidified.


    Semi-Divine Heirs like Jing Kui, Dong Pan, He Feng, Yue Shan, and others all entered the top twenty.


    Only two were eliminated.


    One was Bai Feng, and the other was Yang You Semi-Divine, who ranked thirteenth on the previous Semi-Divine List.


    She was in the tenth group with Yue Shan.


    However, neither of them managed to claim the top spot in their group; instead, they both lost to another Reserve Member¡ªXia Ju!

 Chapter 861: 441: Final Ranking_2

    Chapter 861: Chapter 441: Final Ranking_2


    ¡°Xia Ju, ranked just over sixtieth on the last Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°Unexpectedly seized the first place in ten groups.¡±


    ¡°Consecutively defeating Yue Shan and Yang You, two great Demigod Saint Heirs, is truly fierce! His Star Technique might is strong, and his Sword Technique is also sharp.¡±


    When everyone saw Xia Ju Demigod defeat Yue Shan, they were all startled.


    As a veteran Demigod Saint Heir, although Yue Shan¡¯s strength is not as formidable as Dong Pan and Jing Kui, his ranking has always been very stable, never falling out of the top ten in the recent five rounds.


    The result was actually a loss?


    ¡°Interesting, apart from Xu Yuan, another Xia Ju has emerged?¡± Jing Kui¡¯s eyes shone brightly, and compared to Xu Yuan, he was more interested in Xia Ju.


    After all, Xia Ju¡¯s Sword Technique was clearly very powerful as it was tangible and palpable.


    ¡°Jue Xing Ancient City, indeed a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons lie, another Eight Star Veins has appeared.¡± Li Yuan was also quite surprised.


    Previously, in the Divine Fire Hall, there were nearly ten thousand people, and since Li Yuan was always engaged in battles, he naturally would not use ¡®Divine Palace Exploration¡¯ on every person; at that time, Xia Ju was not conspicuous.


    Breaking into the Divine Fire Tower, he was ranked just over fifty.


    Li Yuan did not give him much thought.


    Only after the second round of ¡®Round Battle¡¯ did Xia Ju rise surprisingly, defeating Yue Shan in one fell swoop. Only then did Li Yuan employ Divine Palace Exploration and discovered that Xia Ju¡¯s Life Level was ¡®Level 48.9¡¯.


    Another Eight Star Pulse!!


    ¡°This Demigod Xia Ju, his earlier Law Comprehension seemed slightly inferior, probably has made a breakthrough in the past five years.¡± Li Yuan pondered: ¡°Once Law Comprehension is approached, Origin Power Cultivation, Star Technique become stronger, naturally surpassing other Demigod Saint Heirs.¡±


    The other Demigod Saint Heirs, except Jing Kui, were only Seven Star Pulse Demigods.


    ¡­


    ¡°Xia Ju, finally exploded.¡±


    ¡°After nearly three hundred years of cultivation, I have finally achieved something, I almost thought he would not become a Demigod Saint Heir and was about to break through to Pseudo-God.¡± The seven True Gods on the high platform communicated with each other through voice transmission.


    The Flying Heaven Demigods were shocked by Xia Ju¡¯s eruption.


    Because for Star Vein Talent, all the Reserve Members kept it a secret from each other; aside from freaks like Li Yuan, others did not know that Xia Ju was an Eight Star Vein.


    But these True God powerhouses knew it long ago.


    ¡°With Xu Yuan added, now Divine Fire Hall has four Eight Star Vein Demigods.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui, Xu Yuan, Xia Ju have all entered the top twenty.¡± Moon Wing True God said with a smile through voice transmission: ¡°On the contrary, Luan Su, clearly an Eight Stars, did not even make it into the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List.¡±


    ¡°Luan Su has cultivated for too few years, less than two hundred years old.¡±


    ¡°His Law Comprehension speed is also somewhat slow.¡± The other True Gods expressed their thoughts.


    High Star Vein Talent generally indicates high Law Talent, but the relationship between the two is not absolute.


    Just like Gu You and Li Yuan mentioned the ¡®Man Huo¡¯, who is only a Six Star Pulse True God, in just tens of thousands of years, he has comprehended four Law of the Great Dao, creating Secret Techniques stronger than those of most Heavenly Divine.¡±


    The Demigod Stage is the same case.


    Even if they cultivate for the same number of years, an Eight Star Pulse Demigod is not necessarily stronger than a Seven Star Pulse Demigod.


    Just like the students from Tsinghua and Peking University are generally very strong, but that doesn¡¯t mean every single one of them is better than all the students from other schools.


    Before Li Yuan, among the three Eight Star Vein Demigods in Divine Fire Hall, only Jing Kui demonstrated the overwhelming talent to crush the other Seven Star Pulse Demigods, showing the potential of a Heavenly Divine.


    Therefore, he was valued by Tai You Heavenly God.


    ¡­


    Boom~ An invisible pressure enveloped the entire Divine Fire Hall, quickly quieting down the noisy hall.


    ¡°After consultation with the other True Gods, as well as reporting up to the higher authorities of the Ancient City.¡± Chi Yang True God¡¯s voice thundered slowly: ¡°In the end, it is decided that there will be eighteen Saint Heir positions awarded in this Demigod ranking battle.¡±


    Boom!


    Eighteen Saint Heir positions?


    Li Yuan, Xia Ju, Yue Shan, and others within the overall top twenty all showed a serious expression.


    Does this mean that out of these twenty people, two will be excluded?


    Who would want to fail after coming this far?


    ¡°The decisive battle rules are very simple.¡±


    ¡°Each group¡¯s first place will be randomly matched with the second place of another group, cross-battling, the winner enters the top ten, directly becoming a Demigod Saint Heir, and competing for the ultimate first place.¡±


    ¡°The losers will then fight through Round Battle for the last eight Saint Heir positions.¡± Chi Yang True God said slowly.


    This rule was not unexpected.


    Snatching the first place in their own groups, they naturally would have some advantages and not be pitted against other group¡¯s first place.


    Soon, the order of the ten matches for twenty to ten were all announced.


    ¡®Jing Kui¡¯ versus ¡®Yue Shan¡¯


    ¡®Li Yuan¡¯ versus ¡®Yan Dong¡¯


    ¡®He Feng¡¯ versus ¡®Yue Shan¡¯


    ¡®Xia Ju¡¯ versus ¡®Dong Pan¡¯


    ¡­


    Each of the ten group battles was very eye-catching, and those who had made it this far were all strong without exception.


    But undoubtedly, the most eye-catching was the confrontation between Xia Ju and Dong Pan.


    Xia Ju is the second most dazzling person in this ranking battle apart from Li Yuan! His Sword Technique is overwhelmingly powerful. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Dong Pan, on the other hand, is commonly acknowledged as the top three on the Semi-Divine List. Even if he lost to Li Yuan, no one thought he was weaker than the other group¡¯s first place.


    ¡°Yue Shan, you¡¯re in trouble, you¡¯ve actually bumped into Jing Kui.¡± Yang Di couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Yang Di ended up ranked 361st, and his ranking battle had already ended.


    ¡°Jing Kui is indeed hard to beat.¡± Li Yuan said quietly. Although he had not seen Jing Kui¡¯s full force exerted.


    But judging from his performance in the Divine Fire Tower, his strength was indeed much stronger than other Demigod Saint Heirs.


    ¡°No worries.¡±


    ¡°Having only got the second place in the group, I knew it would be tough to enter the top ten of the Semi-Divine List this time.¡± Demigod Yue Shan was rather calm and smiled: ¡°Even if not against Jing Kui, are He Feng, Xia Ju and those guys easy to deal with? Not to mention, if I were up against brother Xu Yuan, I reckon I¡¯d also lose.¡±

 Chapter 862: 441: Final Ranking_3

    Chapter 862: Chapter 441: Final Ranking_3


    ¡°Regardless of winning or losing.¡±


    ¡°Fight with all your might.¡±


    ¡°Even if you lose, there is still a chance to snatch the Saint Heir position,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile.


    His character was always so, very calm.


    ¡­


    After the duel list was announced, everyone rested only briefly before the duels quickly commenced.


    Perhaps to better motivate the other Flying Heaven Semi-Divines, this time the duels were not held simultaneously but one by one.


    In the first match, Jing Kui battled Yue Shan, and even though Yue Shan exerted all his effort, Jing Kui still won easily.


    Jing Kui¡¯s ease also indirectly proved that his strength had transformed again, reaching a higher level.


    The second battle was Li Yuan versus Yan Dong.


    This fight attracted much attention as well.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Both contestants simultaneously flew into the Void Arena, landing on opposite sides, immediately drawing everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Xu Yuan and Yan Dong, who can win?¡±


    ¡°Definitely Xu Yuan will win. Even Dong Pan couldn¡¯t withstand Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack, let alone Yan Dong?¡±


    ¡°Yan Dong Semi-Divine was only ranked sixteenth in the last session, the lowest-ranked Semi-Divine Saint Heir, and he just lost to He Feng Semi-Divine. Want to win against Xu Yuan? Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!¡±


    Previous continuous victories had already built up Li Yuan¡¯s momentum.


    Ninety-nine percent of the spectators were convinced Xu Yuan would surely win.


    ¡­


    On the Void Arena, Li Yuan and Yan Dong were tens of kilometers apart, facing each other from a distance.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine was dressed in blue Combat Armor, his features eerily beautiful as he held two steel pitchforks, his image somewhat strange and somewhat reminiscent of a ¡®Patrolling Yaksha¡¯, staring intently at Li Yuan.


    Li Yuan, still in his black garment.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, strong soul attack?¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine stared intently, his eyes filled with seriousness: ¡°But according to the ranking at Divine Fire Tower, your material attack should be very ordinary.¡±


    He knew Xu Yuan¡¯s formidability, which was also his biggest obstacle to breaking into the top ten.


    Suddenly.


    Both sides moved at the same time.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine instantly transformed into a streak of light, like a lightning bolt sweeping across the void, instantly creating hundreds of Phantom Bodies, each pouncing toward Li Yuan like specters.


    He obviously practiced a Phantom Body-like Star Technique akin to ¡°Nine Shadows Void.¡±


    ¡°Phantom Bodies?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the fluctuation of the Wind System Law! Yue Shan¡¯s information was indeed correct, this Yan Dong Semi-Divine has comprehended the Wind Law, the Mysteries of Space,¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes were very calm.


    Phantom Bodies? They can evade Divine Sense Inquiry.


    But can they evade a Domain?


    ¡°Rumble~¡± With a thought from Li Yuan, a huge Domain descended immediately, a vast yellow stream sweeping through, impacting those Phantom Bodies.


    Sizzle sizzle~ The collision between the Domain and Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s Phantom Bodies, nine Yellow Dragons roared, swiftly annihilating the weaker Phantom Bodies.


    In the blink of an eye, only three Phantom Bodies of Yan Dong Semi-Divine remained, each closely clustered and surrounded by dispersing blue light fending off the erosion from the Heaven and Earth River Domain.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°Boom!¡± The terrifying Yaksha furiously slashed down, two Yellow Dragons were instantly torn apart.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, your Domain can¡¯t restrain me.¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s momentum was overwhelming as he charged toward Xu Yuan.


    Being other Semi-Divine Limit Experts would have been directly crushed and swept aside by Li Yuan¡¯s Domain.


    But indeed, it couldn¡¯t suppress such an exceptional Semi-Divine.


    ¡°Life and Death Realm!¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of haziness, directly unleashing a soul attack.


    Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ Three waves of soul fluctuations erupted simultaneously, sweeping toward those three Phantom Bodies.


    If maintaining soul attacks on hundreds of Phantom Bodies while retaining the strongest attack might, Li Yuan couldn¡¯t do it.


    But attacking just three targets was still very easy.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    The invisible soul fluctuations instantly invaded Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s spiritual world¡­ his spiritual world trembled.


    ¡°Here it comes.¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine instantly understood, his greatest test had arrived.


    Withstand it, and he could win!


    Fail to withstand it, and he would undoubtedly lose.


    ¡°Spiritual Light! All Phenomena Color! Nine Heavens Rhythm!¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s depths of his soul burst forth completely, his terrifying method hidden for many years fully bloomed in an instant.


    ¡°Sss~¡± The soul attack from Li Yuan almost instantly engulfed Yan Dong Semi-Divine.


    Swirling~ Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s spiritual world transformed, as if multiple celestial tiers emerged, sacred and vast, the spiritual light rotated, its might boundless, guarding his spiritual world.


    ¡°Boom boom~¡± Li Yuan¡¯s soul attack was eroding.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s spiritual world resisted.


    ¡°Such a powerful soul attack.¡±


    ¡°My years of practicing the Soul Defense Secret Technique, combined with the ¡®All Phenomena Heart Pearl¡¯ given by my teacher, almost failed to withstand it?¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine was immensely shocked, regaining clarity in an instant: ¡°If I didn¡¯t have the Soul Defense Secret Technique, or the All Phenomena Heart Pearl, I would have definitely succumbed.¡±


    ¡°This Xu Yuan, his soul attack is indeed defying the heavens.¡± Yan Dong Semi-Divine was very surprised.


    Actually, when he saw he was matched against Xu Yuan, there was a hint of joy in his heart.


    If he were to contend against other group leaders, he had no confidence.


    Only Xu Yuan, who relied on his soul attack to come this far, while Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s teacher was a ¡®Soul Master¡¯ even more terrifying than the Nine Sound Semi-Divine.


    Therefore, in teaching Yan Dong Semi-Divine, he always emphasized Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s soul defense.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine, clearly remembered his teacher¡¯s words: ¡°The path of the spiritual void is profound and broad, not inferior to the operation of material, you are only a semi-divine, the teacher does not expect you to achieve greatness on the Soul Path, but you must prioritize soul defense.¡±


    Other Semi-Divine Saint Heirs also necessarily did not neglect soul defense.


    It¡¯s just that, most of them, unlike Yan Dong Semi-Divine, did not expend so much energy to specifically find a spiritual secret treasure that matched their soul defense technique.


    ¡°I blocked it.¡±


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s bewildered eyes instantly regained clarity, his fighting spirit soaring: ¡°Xu Yuan, it¡¯s my turn now!¡±


    Boom!


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine swung the two Yaksha in his hands, azure light streaked across the vast sky, its might unparalleled, instantly smashing the two approaching Yellow Dragons to smithereens.


    The Yellow Dragons, merely at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God in combat power, stood no chance against him.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The Heaven and Earth River Domain shook, Yan Dong Semi-Divine moved, his speed far surpassing Li Yuan, already closing in.


    ¡°He blocked it?¡±


    ¡°Even Dong Pan Semi-Divine didn¡¯t block it, and it was blocked by Yan Dong?¡± Li Yuan¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise, not daring to hesitate.


    Whoosh!


    The Boundary Cloud Spear pierced the void, making the void tremble as if an invisible thread was torn apart, lightning-fast assaulting Yan Dong Semi-Divine.


    Boundary Cloud Spear¡¯s fifth form¡ªDivine Trooper¡¯s Intent!


    However, Li Yuan¡¯s spear technique was mighty, but Yan Dong Semi-Divine¡¯s weapon might was even more terrifying, the two steel pitchforks fiercely cleaved down.


    ¡°Bang~¡±


    A loud noise, the heavens and earth shook, Yan Dong Semi-Divine did not step back, on the contrary, Li Yuan was instantly thrown out, spitting blood, the guardian spiritual light enveloping his body surface rapidly dimming.


    One exchange made Li Yuan understand.


    Although his soul attack was powerful, if the soul attack was ineffective, having just reached semi-divine in terms of material attack, he was far from the match for these peerless semi-divines.


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine, possessed level 54 combat capability!


    ¡°Huh!¡±


    Yan Dong Semi-Divine, seizing the advantage, approached like lightning, striking furiously again!


    ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡±


    After clashing three times with Li Yuan, the guardian spiritual light on his body surface suddenly dissipated.


    Buzz~ Li Yuan had disappeared from the arena.


    In this battle, Yan Dong Semi-Divine wins! Li Yuan loses.


    ¡­


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Yan Dong Semi-Divine won?¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan actually lost? He defeated Dong Pan, and now he lost to Yan Dong Semi-Divine?¡± What a sudden shock.


    This battle¡¯s result exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations, even Chi Yang True God and the rest didn¡¯t foresee it.


    After all, Dong Pan, previously ranked second on the Semi-Divine List, lost to Li Yuan, yet Yan Dong Semi-Divine won?


    But regardless of the result.


    The outcome is set! S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Xu Yuan¡¯s soul attack is very terrifying, but now it seems, there are still some extremely powerful semi-divines that can withstand it.¡± Purple Garment True God couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°Once you withstand his soul attack¡­ when it comes to material combat, Xu Yuan is at a disadvantage.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Xu Yuan¡¯s material attack is indeed weaker, just of level 52 standard.¡±


    ¡°Soul attack, very extreme, if the enemy cannot withstand it, he is invincible! But if the enemy can withstand, the effect will drastically reduce.¡± Many semi-divines nodded.

    Chapter 863: Chapter 442: Impact! Dongfang Ji¡¯s Comment (Extra Release for Monthly Votes)


    The battles for the eleventh to twentieth places ended, and the top ten duels were immediately held.


    Jing Kui, He Feng, Dong Pan, and the other ten contestants flew into the Void Arena.


    Li Yuan was already in the hall, leisurely communicating with Yue Shan, Yang Di, and others through voice transmissions, waiting for the end of the ranking battles.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, your soul attack is indeed terrifying,¡± Yue Shan sighed: ¡°During our duel just now, even though I was prepared, I still succumbed to it.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    In the recent 11-20 ranking battles, he had nine victories and was ranked eleventh, while Yue Shan had seven wins and two losses, ranked thirteenth.


    The final ranking for Xia Ju the Demigod was twelfth.


    Both of them performed no better against him than Dong Pan Semi-Divine did.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity, you met Yan Dong in the twenty to ten,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile: ¡°Otherwise, with your soul attack, once into the top ten, you might be able to challenge for the second or even first place.¡±


    ¡°A loss is a loss,¡± Li Yuan shook his head: ¡°Even if I hadn¡¯t lost to Yan Dong, meeting the first place from the other groups wouldn¡¯t necessarily mean I would win.¡±


    Soul attack is inherently an extreme path.


    ¡°Facing Yan Dong actually exposed my weakness; it may also be a warning to me,¡± Li Yuan said: ¡°One can rely on soul attack, but it should not be the only reliance; physical means are the foundation.¡±


    He lost to Yan Dong Semi-Divine.


    It was beyond Li Yuan¡¯s expectation, but not beyond his prediction.


    All these Demigod Saint Heirs possessed level 54 combat power, and except for Jing Kui, the strength gap between each other was very small. For instance, Dong Pan and Xia Ju fought hundreds of moves before determining the winner.


    Similarly, Yue Shan was ranked thirteenth, but is his strength really weaker than the others in the top ten?


    Therefore, it¡¯s quite normal for Li Yuan to see one or even several Demigod Saint Heirs with extremely strong soul defense.


    To achieve the eleventh place was much better than Li Yuan initially expected.


    After all, whether he awakened the Nine Star Pulse or broke through to become a Demigod, it had only been a few months.


    Those Demigods with Seven Star Veins who managed to reach the top hundred in the Divine Fire Hall, which one hadn¡¯t cultivated for hundreds of years?


    They are not among the top one hundred of the nine thousand Demigods in Divine Fire Hall, but the top hundred talents among the several hundred million Demigods under the command of the Jue Xing Ancient City.


    If it weren¡¯t for his soul attack method, Li Yuan estimated he would be ranked in the several hundreds.


    ¡°After this, I need to study soul defense more earnestly,¡± Yue Shan the Demigod said with a smile: ¡°I think others will likely think the same.¡±


    ¡°Even so, once the news of this battle spreads, the top Demigods from Changqing Ancient City, Heavenly Snake Ancient City, and the Six Great Holy Lands will all spend a lot of energy to cultivate Soul Defense Secret Techniques,¡± Yue Shan the Demigod reflected.


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    His soul attack was something many Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses couldn¡¯t match.


    And these peerless Demigods would undoubtedly lose against Peak of Pseudo-God powerhouses, hence, most of them had no motivation to explore the Soul Path.


    After all, cultivating Soul Defense Secret Techniques did not help in awakening Star Meridians or comprehending the Mysteries of the Law.


    But now.


    Here was an anomaly like himself! With physical attacks not strong enough, his soul attack was overly powerful.


    The key is, he himself was still a Demigod!


    By the time of the Ancestral Realm War, if the top Demigods from all parties do not have strong enough soul defense, they would probably be nervous facing him.


    ¡°Then study it to your heart¡¯s content,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile through transmission: ¡°You should know, I became a Demigod just a few months ago, my Soul Will is still growing rapidly, I can study even stronger Soul Secret Techniques¡­ When the Ancestral Realm War comes, we¡¯ll see whether your defense or my attack is stronger.¡±


    Yue Shan was suddenly stunned.


    Indeed! He had almost forgotten that Li Yuan, having become a Demigod for just a few months, was so formidable.


    What about in six years? Or sixty years?


    It was simply unimaginable! sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Such a freak! I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore,¡± Yue Shan the Demigod shook his head: ¡°There are at most ten Ancestral Realm Orders¡­ my hopes of competing for them were already slim. Forget it, I¡¯d better focus on the lesser first-rank opportunities.¡±


    The Ancestral Realm is the origin of this world and contains the greatest secrets.


    So many Demigods are eager to join the battle not only for the Ancestral Realm Orders but also because the Ancestral Realm contains many opportunities that even True Gods would covet.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost over.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui has won again,¡± Yue Shan said, pointing to the Void Arena, shaking his head: ¡°Even Dong Pan¡¯s strong defense was swiftly defeated¡­ His strength has indeed transformed.¡±


    ¡°Previously, I actually wanted to see you fight Jing Kui,¡± Yue Shan said with a smile.


    ¡°It would be very difficult for me to win,¡± Li Yuan looked at the Void Arena.


    Jing Kui¡¯s strength was indeed unimaginably strong; be it Dong Pan Semi-Divine or He Feng, Yan Dong, and others, no one could last more than ten moves against him.


    Of course, this was also because the duels were held on the arena where the energy contained in the Guardian Spirit Light induced by the Formation was limited; once it collapsed, one would be deemed defeated¡­ If it were a life-and-death battle, these Demigod Saint Heirs should be able to hold on for dozens of moves.


    Soon after.


    The top ten duels ended, Jing Kui, Dong Pan, and He Feng were still ranked one, two, and three, similar to the ranking battle of the previous session.


    Yan Dong the Demigod was only ranked ninth.


    ¡°This Demigod ranking battle has come to an end,¡± Chi Yang True God slowly said: ¡°Six years from now it will be the Ancestral Realm War, hence, the ranking for the next Demigod ranking battle¡­ will be determined by your rankings in the battle of the Ancestral Realm.¡±


    ¡°I hope you all cultivate diligently in the next six years.¡±


    ¡°Demigods may leave, Flying Heaven Reserve Members prepare to start the ranking battles.¡±


    ¡­


    More than nine thousand Demigods gradually left the Divine Fire Hall.


    ¡°Dong Pan ranked second, yet lost to Xu Yuan who was ranked eleventh.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan, in turn, lost to Yan Dong¡±


    ¡°If Xu Yuan had made it to the top ten, he might have challenged for the second place.¡± Although many Demigods had left, their discussions did not cease.

    Chapter 864: Chapter 442 Impact! Dongfang Ji¡¯s Comment (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass Votes)_2


    This time, the most controversial figure in the Demigod Ranking Battle is unquestionably Li Yuan.


    He had only just broken through to become a demigod.


    His Origin Power Cultivation and Star Technique have not yet been cultivated to their limits¡­ yet relying on a powerful Soul Attack, he directly obtained the title of ¡®Demigod Saint Heir¡¯.


    ¡­


    After the Ranking Battle, Yue Shan, Yang Di, and others called upon the demigod powerhouses of the Abyss Country lineage to gather, a rare occasion for such a meeting.


    After the banquet.


    Li Yuan did not return to his own palace, but went directly to the Law Enforcement Temple, making his familiar way to a deep hall within.


    In the hall, there was only one figure.


    ¡°Brother,¡± Li Yuan greeted respectfully, having just received a message from Jiang Yuan True God, he naturally hurried over.


    ¡°I¡¯ve learned of your performance in the Ranking Battle,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God with some emotion: ¡°I originally thought that since you had just broken through, it would be difficult for you to even enter the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List. Unexpectedly, you managed to rush to eleventh place.¡±


    ¡°Your Soul Attack is quite impressive.¡±


    When he first received the message from Chi Yang True God, Jiang Yuan True God was quite surprised; he knew Li Yuan had a strong Soul Will¡­ but that was a different matter from having powerful Soul Attacks.


    ¡°It was the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ gifted by the Nine Sounds True God that greatly helped me,¡± said Li Yuan: ¡°Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to construct such an illusory realm.¡±


    ¡°So, I must also thank you, brother.¡±


    This was the truth from Li Yuan.


    The ¡®Six Realms of Illusion,¡¯ in conjunction with the great sun of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, allowed him to surpass many Pseudo-Gods who had been groping on their own for thousands of years within the span of five years. Along with Li Yuan¡¯s rapid advancements in the Mysteries of Space¡­ when combined, they enabled him to instantly create an extremely powerful Illusionary Realm.


    Based on the Illusionary Realm, he then used ¡°Mind Soul¡± to invoke the inner desires of his enemies, naturally making its might terrifyingly powerful.


    The pathway of the soul, when cultivated to the peak, is also exceedingly fearsome.


    ¡°No need to thank me,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said, shaking his head with a wry smile: ¡°Although the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ is extraordinary, its effects vary from person to person; your ability to deduce it to this extent in such a short time¡­ sufficiently proves your talent.¡±


    ¡°However!¡±


    ¡°Relying solely on Soul Attacks, it will still be quite difficult for you to seize the Ancestral Realm Order,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°This time, Yan Dong was able to defeat you, and Jing Kui is likely to be able to withstand it as well¡­ By the time of the battle in the Ancestral Realm, talents from other major powers will certainly be more guarded.¡±


    Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but nod his head.


    This was the same as what Yue Shan had estimated.


    Even though he said ¡®the Soul Attack will be stronger,¡¯ within a short period of time, unless his Soul Will undergoes another Transformation, or if he cultivates the ¡®Six Realms of Illusion¡¯ to the Third Realm.


    Otherwise, the Illusionary Realm of the Soul Attack would be hard to qualitatively change.


    ¡°If I give you more time, if your Origin Power and Star Technique are cultivated to the limit, do you have the confidence to win against Dong Pan without relying on Soul Attacks?¡± Jiang Yuan True God suddenly asked.


    Li Yuan pondered for a moment.


    ¡°A fifty percent chance,¡± Li Yuan weighed: ¡°After all, the gap in Law Comprehension is too wide, his Law Comprehension is almost at the Pseudo-God Limit.¡±


    A demigod can cultivate at most six kinds of Star Technique.


    Given sufficient time, aside from ¡°True Solution of the Earth Star Vein¡± and ¡°True Solution of the Wind Star Vein,¡± he could cultivate four Nine-Layered Battle Star Techniques¡­


    And his Origin Power Cultivation to level 49.9.


    Li Yuan estimated.


    By then, even if his Law Comprehension was considerably weaker, his own strength could reach level 54, not inferior to other Demigod Saint Heirs.


    But, all this requires time.


    What he lacks is time.


    ¡°Hmm, there are still six years until the battle in the Ancestral Realm,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°As a Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins, you already have the foundation.¡± sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°As long as your Law Comprehension progresses further, your mastery of the Spear Technique Profoundness reaches the Peak of Pseudo-God, combined with your Soul Attack, it¡¯s possible that even Jing Kui may not be your match.¡±


    A breakthrough in Law Comprehension?


    Li Yuan was not entirely certain himself.


    Whether it¡¯s solidifying True Intent from the Mysteries of Space or comprehending the Sixth Move of the ¡°Boundary Cloud Spear,¡± both are extremely challenging.


    Like many Pseudo-Gods, thousands of years may pass with their Law Comprehension trapped at the Initial Rank of the Eighth Stage.


    ¡°I will do my utmost,¡± said Li Yuan.


    ¡°By the way.


    ¡°The reason I called you here is actually about your reward,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°As this is your first time in the Ranking Battle and you rushed to eleventh place¡­ by rights, you should be rewarded with three hundred thousand Fangshen Crystals.¡±


    Three hundred thousand Fangshen Crystals? Li Yuan held his breath.


    For many Pseudo-God Peak powerhouses, all their treasures and wealth combined are about at this level.


    ¡°But I have requested from the City Lord,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God: ¡°to withhold your reward for now.¡±


    Li Yuan was taken aback.


    ¡°You are only a demigod now and residing in our realm, having too many Divine Crystals is also pointless,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°For example, puppets; at most, we can refine Intermediate Rank Pseudo-God puppets, as for Law Treasures¡­ the strongest are only at the level of Pseudo-God Peak, which are of little use to you.¡±


    Li Yuan nodded in agreement.


    As his strength improves, the usefulness of these external objects would indeed rapidly decrease.


    ¡°So.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m considering waiting until after the battle in the Ancestral Realm when you become a Pseudo-God, or when you are about to leave our realm before telling me what treasure you want,¡± Jiang Yuan True God said: ¡°Then, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±


    ¡°Take your time, no rush!¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you, brother,¡± Li Yuan nodded and said.


    After Li Yuan left.


    Sigh~


    A hazy will descended upon the hall.


    ¡°City Lord,¡± said Jiang Yuan True God.


    ¡°Jiang Yuan, are you truly planning to exchange that treasure for Xu Yuan?¡± the hazy will spoke.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Jiang Yuan True God nodded: ¡°City Lord, that treasure has been lying dormant in the treasury for a long stretch of time without a suitable powerhouse to unleash its might¡­ Given Xu Yuan¡¯s proficiency in the Soul Path, once he becomes a True God in the future, he might be able to wield it perfectly.¡±


    ¡°It is better to bestow it on him rather than letting the treasure collect dust.¡±


    ¡°Alright, as long as you have thought it through. The Ancient City¡¯s inheritance spans a long duration and has its own rules: Heavenly God Artifacts cannot be directly given to anyone and must be exchanged for something of equal value,¡± the hazy will said: ¡°Although that treasure is not a Heavenly God Artifact, it is exceedingly rare.¡±

    Chapter 865: Chapter 442: Impact! Dongfang Ji¡¯s Comment (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass Votes)_3


    ¡°However, he is ultimately a life from the Divine Realm.¡± The hazy will said, ¡°You¡¯ve invested so much in him¡­ I hope he does not let you down in the future.¡±


    ¡°I trust my own judgment.¡± Jiang Yuan True God declared solemnly.


    ¡­


    After returning to his own palace residence, Li Yuan did not rush to continue his cultivation, but went straight to the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.


    Whoosh!


    A dark red crystal stone appeared in front of Li Yuan, floating in suspension.


    ¡°I wonder what message the Dongfang Alliance Leader has left for me in this token.¡± Li Yuan mused to himself.


    This dark red crystal stone was given to Li Yuan by Dongfang Ji after the battle of Feixing concluded before he departed.


    At that time, Dongfang Ji explicitly stated that Li Yuan must be a Semi-Divine before he could open it.


    Previously busy with cultivation, now that the ranking battle had concluded, Li Yuan finally had the time.


    ¡°Hum~¡±


    With just a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power penetrated the dark red crystal stone, unraveling the numerous marks within.


    The last imprint, a ¡®password¡¯, was broken by Li Yuan using Divine Sense combined with Origin Power.


    ¡°Truly ingenious.¡± Li Yuan secretly marveled, ¡°No wonder the Alliance Leader had said not to try to open it before becoming Semi-Divine, as forcing it might lead to its self-destruction.¡±


    Upon unlocking the final mark.


    Swish~


    The dark red crystal stone instantaneously transformed into countless red streams of light that quickly converged to form a red Phantom.


    It was surprisingly the likeness of Dongfang Ji.


    ¡°Alliance Leader.¡± Li Yuan couldn¡¯t help but speak out.


    ¡°Li Yuan, congratulations.¡± Dongfang Ji said with a smile: ¡°You being able to open this mark proves you have broken through to a Semi-Divine. It is unknown how much time has passed or whether you have awakened the Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse¡­ Regardless, with your talent, as long as you brave the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, you should have become a ¡®Chaos Divine Court Silver Garment Member¡¯.¡±


    ¡°Many things, I can now speak to you frankly about.¡±


    Li Yuan¡¯s heart was suddenly stirred.


    Silver Garment Member?


    Indeed! The Dongfang Alliance Leader and the headmaster should be similar, both having undertaken tasks akin to those of the Silver and Golden Garment.


    At the same time, Li Yuan also noticed that this Phantom in front of him was not an imprint of Dongfang Ji¡¯s consciousness.


    It was merely a segment of imagery.


    ¡°The Nine Leaves Nine Mountains is related to the Chaos Divine Court¡­¡± Dongfang Ji¡¯s Phantom slowly said, ¡°I even suspect that the name ¡®Burial¡¯ in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain implies that some significant figure from the Chaos Divine Court may be buried deep within.¡±


    Li Yuan listened with bated breath.


    This was absolutely major news.


    ¡°Black Garment, Silver Garment, Golden Garment, Purple Garment are the four levels designated within the Chaos Divine Court for Semi-Divine Flying Heaven members,¡± Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°Among them, the Silver Garment Members are considered core, yet they are at the very bottom of the core level.¡±


    ¡°Normally, passing the test of the Nine Leaves World grants one the status of Silver Garment Member, accompanied by many advantages.¡±


    ¡°Passing the test of the Nine Mountains World allows one to become a Golden Garment Member,¡± said the Phantom of Dongfang Ji.


    Li Yuan instantly understood.


    It seems that the headmaster Fang Hai had become a Silver Garment Member in those years.


    ¡°Golden Garment Members are highly regarded, so as soon as I passed the test of the Nine Mountains World and was promoted from Silver to Golden Garment, I immediately made a Law oath to rush to the Chaos Divine Court¡­¡± The Phantom of Dongfang Ji continued, ¡°If I am lucky and arrive on time, I should be within the Chaos Divine Court by now.¡±


    The Chaos Divine Court?


    Li Yuan finally understood why Dongfang Ji had to leave in such a hurry¡­ So, it was a forced command from the Nine Mountains World.


    ¡°Purple Garment Members, however, are even rarer.¡±


    ¡°Next, let me tell you about the benefits available to Silver Garment and Golden Garment Members¡­¡±


    ¡°Of course, perhaps you¡¯ve already picked the benefits at the ¡®Eternal Hall¡¯, or maybe you haven¡¯t yet.¡±


    ¡°If you haven¡¯t chosen yet, listen closely,¡± the Phantom of Dongfang Ji advised.


    Li Yuan listened intently.


    According to Dongfang Alliance Leader, if I use the ¡®Return Command¡¯ now, should I be heading to the Eternal Hall to pick the benefits that ¡®Golden Garment Members¡¯ can receive?


    ¡°Both Fang Hai and I have chosen quite a few treasures beneficial for the civilization¡¯s growth; hence, there¡¯s no need for you to choose the same kind¡­¡± Dongfang Ji explained in detail.


    This made Li Yuan gradually understand the choices made by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.


    They had both made significant contributions to the entire civilization.


    ¡°The treasures you choose should as much as possible strengthen yourself.¡± Dongfang Ji said, ¡°Although I awakened the Eight Stars Veins, there are still many obstacles to ascending to Heavenly God¡­¡±


    ¡°You, with your Second Rank Eight Star Veins, have much greater hope than both Fang Hai and me.¡±


    ¡°You could even become an exceedingly powerful existent among the Heavenly Gods.¡±


    ¡°By that time, you might be able to resolve the threat that the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain poses to our entire civilization,¡± Dongfang Ji said earnestly.


    ¡°Additionally.¡±


    ¡°After you become a Semi-Divine, without sufficient strength and accumulation, do not attempt to brave the Nine Mountains World,¡± continued Dongfang Ji, ¡°I am merely a Semi-Divine with Eight Star Veins, and can only hope to become a Purple Garment Member within the Chaos Divine Court¡­ But you are different, you have a complete chance to awaken the Nine Star Pulse at the Semi-Divine stage.¡±


    ¡°When that time comes, and you once again brave the Nine Mountains World, you will have the opportunity to become a Purple Garment Member in one fell swoop, and the benefits you receive will surely far exceed both your and my imagination.¡±


    ¡°By then,¡±


    ¡°As a Purple Garment Member of the Chaos Divine Court, the treatment you receive will be completely different,¡± Dongfang Ji said. ¡°Remember, only when you have sufficient time should you venture into the Nine Mountains World.¡±


    Time passed.


    Thanks to the messages left by Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the so-called ¡®Eternal Hall.¡¯


    After a long time.


    Whoosh~ The dark red phantom suddenly dissipated.


    Not leaving behind a single trace.


    ¡°Alliance Leader Dongfang risked a great deal to leave behind these messages,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°He must be worried I would recklessly attempt the Nine Mountains World trial.¡±


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    ¡°Alliance Leader Dongfang probably didn¡¯t expect that I would directly face the trial for Purple Garment Membership.¡±


    Through analysis and combining his own experiences, Li Yuan had roughly guessed.


    Normally, strong practitioners would sequentially venture into the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains at the Flying Heaven and Semi Divine stages¡­ but for him, this must be the one trial mission.


    If completed, one could potentially become a Purple Garment Member. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    And if failed? There probably won¡¯t be a second chance.


    ¡°The Purple Garment Member task must be completed.¡±


    A sense of longing arose in Li Yuan¡¯s heart: ¡°By then, even if I will be like Alliance Leader Dongfang, I want to go to the Chaos Divine Court and find a way to leave a deep foundation for the Seven Star Civilization.¡±


    ¡°Six years.¡±


    ¡°If I wish to win the Ancestral Realm battle, I must head to the Eternal Hall as soon as possible,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself.


    If before Li Yuan was not in a rush,


    Then, after learning the secrets of the Eternal Hall from the messages left by Dongfang Ji, he understood¡­ opportunity!


    The Eternal Hall was Li Yuan¡¯s chance to make a rapid breakthrough in the next six years.


    ¡°I cannot be impatient¡±


    ¡°The ranking battle has just ended, wait another month,¡± Li Yuan thought to himself. ¡°Then I will apply for the Semi Divine Level trial task and leave Jue Xing Ancient City.¡±


    Being too weak at the Flying Heaven Level, the trial tasks for Flying Heaven Level reserve members all take place within Jue Xing Ancient City.


    As for Semi Divine Level reserve members, each one is powerful, and many of the tasks are scattered all around this heaven and earth.


    More freedom.


    Bigger gains.


    But also greater danger.


    ¡°First, cultivate all the Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank Limit.¡± With a thought, Li Yuan calmed down and continued to practice the Star Technique ¡°Heaven and Earth River.¡±


    ¡­


    Jue Xing Ancient City, being the strongest power in this world, was always in the spotlight.


    Now, as the critical juncture of yet another Ancestral Realm battle approached¡­thus, other major powers in the world were closely watching the Semi Divine Level talents of Jue Xing Ancient City.


    The news of the Semi Divine ranking battle, even if not spread by the Divine Fire Hall, gradually became known to all forces.


    After all, there were too many participants to keep it completely concealed.


    ¡°Jing Kui, he actually made a breakthrough? This!!¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui was already strong, now with his breakthrough, he probably has a chance to vie for first place in the Ancestral Realm battle.¡±


    ¡°Yes, the chances are significant.¡± Jing Kui¡¯s breakthrough put the various major forces on alert.


    ¡°Xu Yuan, it is said that he is a Third Rank with Eight Star Veins, although it hasn¡¯t been confirmed¡­ He just entered the Semi Divine and rushed to eleventh place? Is he that fierce?¡±


    ¡°Soul Attack!¡±


    ¡°His Soul Attack is terrifying, many of the Semi Divine Saint Heirs from Jue Xing Ancient City can¡¯t withstand it.¡± Apart from Jing Kui, what shocked the major forces the most was ¡®Xu Yuan.¡¯


    A Soul Attack was extreme, but it also represented a horrifying deterrent to the weaker ones.


    ¡°We must pay attention to Soul Defense.¡±


    ¡°Right!¡±


    ¡°No matter how strong Jing Kui is, he¡¯s just one person; if a large number of Semi Divine Level talents join forces, they can hold him off.¡±


    ¡°Jing Kui needs to attack several times before he can kill someone.¡±


    ¡°But facing Xu Yuan¡¯s Soul Attack, if one cannot withstand it, it¡¯s an instantaneous downfall, even if hundreds or thousands unite, it¡¯s still useless,¡±


    ¡°Find the best Soul Secret Treasures, then cultivate to attune to those Soul Secret Treasures.¡± The various major forces across the world quickly adjusted the cultivation plans for their Semi Divine talents in preparation for the Ancestral Realm battle six years later.


    Such influence brought by Xu Yuan was indeed astonishing.


    But these changes were of no concern to Li Yuan himself.


    ¡­


    Two months later.


    Having cultivated the five Nine Layer Star Techniques to their peak, Li Yuan applied for the trial task.


    He left Jue Xing Ancient City.

 Chapter 866: 443: Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting the Pseudo-God

    Chapter 866: Chapter 443: Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting the Pseudo-God


    Jue Xing Ancient City, within the palace deep in the Law Enforcement Temple.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Continuously cultivating in silence, Jiang Yuan True God suddenly opened his eyes, he uttered softly: ¡°Chi Yang?¡±


    Whoosh~ A myriad of light and shadows converged, forming a figure clad in red armor; it was indeed Chi Yang True God, who bowed slightly: ¡°Deputy City Lord.¡±


    Currently, Jiang Yuan True God held two positions¡ªDeputy City Lord and Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Temple.


    But naturally, Chi Yang True God would address the highest-ranking title.


    ¡°When?¡± Jiang Yuan True God asked.


    ¡°Xu Yuan accepted a supreme trial mission and has already left Jue Xing Ancient City,¡± Chi Yang True God spoke in a deep voice: ¡°According to your instructions, if there is any special circumstance, he will report to you at the first opportunity.¡±


    ¡°With his strength, a supreme trial mission should pose no problem,¡± Jiang Yuan True God stated indifferently.


    The trial missions that Semi-Divine members could accept were divided into Third Level, Second Level, First Level, and Supreme¡­ with Supreme being the most difficult and rewarding, yet usually extremely dangerous.


    Under normal circumstances, only those in the top hundred of the Semi-Divine List would accept supreme missions, and they would proceed with utmost caution.


    ¡°The mission he accepted is the ¡®Dragon Blood Realm Trial¡¯,¡± Chi Yang True God said: ¡°We will find it very difficult to offer him secret close protection.¡± S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°The ¡®Fifth Level Star Domain,¡¯ ¡®Dragon Blood Realm¡¯?¡± Jiang Yuan True God frowned.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Chi Yang True God nodded.


    The Dragon Blood Realm is a strange world born from this universe, located beyond the heavens, vast and boundless. For some special reasons, over the long years it has birthed a large number of powerful beasts containing the bloodline of Divine Dragons.


    Dragons are the origin of all beasts.


    With the bloodline of Divine Dragons, the Dragon Blood Realm has over time given rise to many terrifying beings within the Beast Clan, as well as concealed secrets and treasures¡­ The major powers of the world have all explored the Dragon Blood Realm.


    However, since the Dragon Blood Realm is a Fifth Level World, Sixth Rank True Gods from the outside cannot directly enter. At most, they can send a Pseudo-God to break through within.


    But once they make the breakthrough to True God, if they leave, they also cannot re-enter the Dragon Blood Realm.


    This leads to ceaseless power struggles among all parties. Coupled with the rise of powerful ¡®Dragon Beasts¡¯ within the Dragon Blood Realm itself, even a place as mighty as Jue Xing Ancient City cannot truly control the Dragon Blood Realm; they have only established a branch there.


    ¡°In the Dragon Blood Realm, we only have two True Gods to guard the region, each with their own missions,¡± Chi Yang True God said: ¡°With Xu Yuan¡¯s current strength, it would be difficult for a common True God to follow him without making a sound.¡±


    Jiang Yuan True God nodded in agreement.


    The situation in the Dragon Blood Realm has already stabilized, and a consensus has been reached by all parties¡­ Naturally, Jue Xing Ancient City would not deploy too many True Gods to guard it.


    According to his command, if Li Yuan were to carry out a trial mission, in secret a True God would be dispatched to protect him.


    Looking at it now, achieving this would be difficult.


    ¡°Send a message to the Dragon Blood Realm branch, keep things low-key,¡± Jiang Yuan True God spoke softly: ¡°Do not allow Xu Yuan¡¯s whereabouts to be exposed¡­ If a mistake leads to an accident, let them stay in the Dragon Blood Realm forever.¡±


    ¡°Understood,¡± Chi Yang True God felt a chill in his heart.


    Whoosh! The Phantom of Chi Yang True God dissipated.


    ¡°Heading to the Dragon Blood Realm?¡± Jiang Yuan True God murmured to himself: ¡°Is Xu Yuan doing this for the trial mission, or does he have another purpose?¡±


    ¡­


    The Dragon Blood Realm, expansive and vast, the entire world stretches for billions of kilometers, much more extensive than any Divine Kingdom.


    Within the continuous mountain ranges, there hovers a massive city, where a large number of cultivators are stationed.


    This is the ¡®Dragon Blood Realm Branch¡¯ of Jue Xing Ancient City, where a multitude of powerful beings are stationed, responsible for overseeing the entire Dragon Blood Realm.


    The strong forces descending from Jue Xing Ancient City to the Dragon Blood Realm would first arrive here.


    In the center of the city, there is a towering tower with a Transmission Array.


    ¡°Old Six, who is coming today?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°The Commander ordered everyone to leave this area, temporarily prohibiting others from coming and going,¡± more than ten Black Armor-clad Pseudo-Gods stood in the high sky, monitoring every direction, communicating with each other through sound transmission.


    As Pseudo-God Level Jue Xing Guards, and the personal guards of the City Lord, they hold high status within the city on regular days.


    Yet today, they are dispatched here solely as guards.


    Whoosh~ The space slightly twisted as a figure in a golden robe stepped out of the void, the powerful aura he emitted made the Pseudo-God Jue Xing Guards tighten their hearts.


    ¡°City Lord?¡±


    ¡°The City Lord has come in person to welcome them?¡± These Pseudo-God Jue Xing Guards were taken by surprise, who exactly is arriving today that the City Lord would personally welcome them.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Boom!¡± A dazzling radiance flashed through the Transmission Array, followed by a figure shrouded in black robes stepping out, making it impossible to clearly see his face.


    ¡°A Demigod?¡±


    ¡°Seems to be a Demigod, unable to determine the specific Life Breath, such a clever Technique of concealing one¡¯s aura,¡± they thought.


    ¡°The City Lord has gone up to welcome them, seems very courteous,¡± these Jue Xing Guards were shocked in their hearts; they couldn¡¯t hear the conversation between the City Lord and the figure in black robes.


    ¡°It must be a Saint Heir from the Ancient City.¡±


    ¡°Certainly.¡±


    ¡°Just don¡¯t know which one,¡± these Jue Xing Guards guessed in their minds.


    However, they dare not reveal the slightest information.


    As the personal guards of the City Lord, each of them possesses Peak Pseudo-God strength, and they are highly trusted.


    Outside the Transmission Array, an invisible force separated all directions, making it impossible to hear the conversation.


    ¡°Mou Zhuo True God, I appreciate it,¡± Li Yuan said with a smile: ¡°But I am on a trial mission, according to the rules, I can¡¯t accept protection¡­ If it¡¯s found out, it will cause me trouble instead.¡±


    The first thing Mou Zhuo True God said was, ¡°Do you want me to dispatch my personal guards to protect you?¡±


    Li Yuan quickly refused.


    What a joke, to avoid the surveillance of Jue Xing Ancient City¡¯s upper levels, and not to let them notice that he was deliberately trying to escape surveillance, after careful selection, he chose the Dragon Blood Realm.


    How could he possibly allow a bunch of Pseudo-Gods to follow?


    ¡°That¡¯s true, then I won¡¯t insist,¡± Mou Zhuo True God chuckled: ¡°Then, take my Token with you.¡±

    Chapter 867: Chapter 443: Dragon Blood Realm! Hunting the Pseudo-God_2


    Hu! With a wave of his hand, Mou Zhuo True God conjured a golden token.


    ¡°It can serve as a beacon. Should you encounter any danger, crush the token immediately, and I shall come to your aid with utmost haste,¡± he said.


    ¡°However, I am needed to guard the city and cannot leave it for long¡­hence, I cannot protect you at all times,¡± Mou Zhuo True God continued: ¡°Venture through life and death with great caution.¡±


    ¡°A trial task is not devoid of peril,¡± Li Yuan replied: ¡°True Gods defend their territories and you need not worry too much about me.¡±


    ¡°Haha,¡± Mou Zhuo True God laughed and handed over to Li Yuan a fiery red crystal stone: ¡°Though you have received some information about the Dragon Blood Realm in the ancient city, that information came from my reports and is quite rudimentary¡­ The intricacies within the Dragon Blood Realm are only known to us.¡±


    ¡°Contained herein is a summary of all my information on the entire Dragon Blood Realm. Examine it closely; it may aid you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, True God,¡± said Li Yuan gratefully. When adventuring into unfamiliar territory, information is of the utmost importance.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll escort you out of the city,¡± said Mou Zhuo True God: ¡°Otherwise, with many eyes about, someone might notice you.¡±


    ¡°Then I must trouble the True God.¡±


    Hu!


    An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, and promptly he vanished into the void along with Mou Zhuo True God.


    Moments later.


    In the void tens of thousands of miles away from Jue Xing Ancient City, two figures appeared.


    ¡°Saint Heir Xu Yuan, I have brought you this far,¡± Mou Zhuo True God said with a smile: ¡°Further ahead, you must tread on your own.¡± sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Understood, then I shall take my leave,¡± Li Yuan bowed with folded hands.


    Hu!


    Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light, accelerating to speeds over 30 kilometers per second, and rapidly disappeared from Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s vantage.


    The smile on Mou Zhuo True God¡¯s face gradually faded, and he furrowed his brow slightly: ¡°Finally, that harbinger of pestilence is gone.¡±


    ¡°Mou Zhuo, this Saint Heir Xu Yuan might well become the future Heavenly God City Lord,¡± a flirtatious female voice spoke up from the surrounding void: ¡°You seem, however, reluctant to interact with him.¡±


    ¡°City Lord of the Heavenly Gods? It¡¯s not so easy to become one,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Besides, even if he cultivates swiftly, it would still take him thousands of years to ascend to Heavenly God status. By then, I would be nearing the end of my lifespan.¡± Mou Zhuo True God shook his head, a touch of disdain in his eyes: ¡°What does that have to do with me? I¡¯m just a Six Star Pulse True God, with no hope left¡­ I only wish for a life of peace and quiet.¡±


    ¡°Yet you were so courteous just now,¡± the playful female voice laughed.


    ¡°I have no choice but to be polite,¡± Mou Zhuo True God shook his head: ¡°It wasn¡¯t an order from Zhi Jiang Yuan.¡±


    ¡°Xu Yuan possesses astounding talent, yet his arrival in the Dragon Blood Realm spells the genesis of catastrophes. I just hope he isn¡¯t foolish enough to provoke an unbeatable Dragon Beast,¡± Mou Zhuo True God snorted coldly: ¡°Otherwise, I would still have to save him in the end.¡±


    ¡°If he dies by accident, it would only cause more trouble.¡±


    Hu!


    Mou Zhuo True God took a step and disappeared into the void.


    ¡­


    In the Cangmang Mountain Range.


    Swoosh!


    Li Yuan caused ripples in space, distorting the view and simultaneously minimizing the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Origin Power, doing his utmost to conceal his movements.


    ¡°Sister, that True God didn¡¯t follow, did he?¡± Li Yuan transmitted telepathically: ¡°By my sensing, he didn¡¯t follow.¡±


    With Li Yuan¡¯s current comprehension of Space Law, it was very difficult for a True God to approach him undetected.


    ¡°Rest assured,¡± came the reply.


    ¡°Having passed the fourth test, you¡¯ve further strengthened your control of the Origin of the Ancient Divine Palace¡­ With your Origin Power infusing the Origin, I can also mobilize more of the Ancient Divine Palace¡¯s power,¡± Gu You transmitted back: ¡°For an ordinary True God, if they do not move then so be it, but once they move, it would now be quite difficult to evade the broad sensing scope of the Ancient Divine Palace.¡±


    ¡°Based on your information,¡± continued Gu You.


    ¡°The two True Gods in the Jue Xing Ancient City division within the Dragon Blood Realm are neither at the True God Peak, nor likely have they condensed the True Intention of Space,¡± Gu You said: ¡°For them, it would be difficult to avoid the sensing of the Ancient Divine Palace.¡±


    ¡°Hmm,¡± Li Yuan nodded slightly.


    Before embarking on the trial task.


    After bringing the fifth Star Technique to the Fourth Rank Limit, Li Yuan went to undergo the Semi-Divine Level challenge of the Ancient Divine Palace¡­and passed with ease.


    Ancient Flame True God set the difficulty for the fourth challenge to be passable by those with the strength of an Initial Rank of Pseudo-God.


    Soon after, Li Yuan received two treasures left by Ancient Flame True God¡ªtwo Protective Secret Treasures.


    For typical Semi-Divine talents, such as Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, these two great Protective Secret Treasures would be quite impressive.


    According to Gu You, both treasures were refined by the Ancient Flame True God at great costs.


    Regrettably, for Li Yuan, a Nine Star Pulse Semi-Divine, the effects were considerably weaker.


    After all, Ancient Flame True God had not anticipated that his Direct Disciple would awaken the Nine Star Pulse.


    Though only two months had passed, Li Yuan¡¯s strength had already grown substantially since the ranking battle.


    Such is the terrifying nature of a Nine Star Pulse Semi-Divine.


    The starting point of a Nine Star Pulse Semi-Divine often equates to the endpoint of 99% of Seven Star Pulse Semi-Divines.


    However, for Li Yuan, receiving the two Protective Secret Treasures was secondary¡­ The key was gaining further control over the Ancient Divine Palace.


    The Ancient Divine Palace is indeed wondrous.


    In theory, even a Semi-Divine with the strength of Nine Star Pulse should find it difficult to activate the power of a True God Instrument, but Li Yuan managed to refine a trace of it even when he was a Prime Warrior.


    Having successively passed the second, third, and fourth challenges set by Ancient Flame True God, Li Yuan continuously increased his control over the Ancient Divine Palace.


    Especially after passing the fourth challenge, it was as if he had undergone a metamorphosis.


    Such a special True God Instrument, whether it was the materials left by Qiu Bingzun or the information from Jue Xing Ancient City¡­ none had ever mentioned it.


    The common understanding in the Divine Realm is that only a Pseudo-God Powerhouse can operate a True God Instrument.


    This realization marked the peculiarity of the Ancient Divine Palace for Li Yuan.


    To Li Yuan¡¯s inquiries, Gu You simply explained: ¡°Once you pass the fifth challenge left by your father, all will be revealed.¡±
